A God in heaven who reveals mysteries.
1) Daniel declares the inability of any human being to declare the dream of the King.
2) He declares that God in Heaven, alone, can reveal mysteries.
4) He humbly admits that his own ability to interpret the dream does not come from himself, but from God. He humbly reveals that he, Daniel, is a mere vessel being used by God to make the interpretation known to the King so He could understand what God is about to do.
Wow! Lord Jesus, make me like Daniel. Make us all as honest, humble and brave as Daniel. He trusted God in the midst of an extremely dangerous situation. He stepped forward with full faith in both God's ability, and His desire to make the matter known. He put his own life on the line to stand in the gap of life and death for many.
Lord Jesus, grant us this kind of faith. It all starts with a relationship with you, and continues with knowing you more and more, deeper and deeper. We come to know You through Your Word, and through our experiences with You.
Precious Father, You have never failed me. I may not have understood what you were doing sometimes, but You have always been faithful to Your Promises.
Thank You, Dearest Lord, and give us all a strong measure of faith, even as You gave to Your servant, Daniel. You are truly the One and Only God in Heaven, the only One who can and does, reveal Mysteries to mankind.


Molecular subtype prognostic analysis permits to assess the prognostic impact of a gene, or a specific Affymetrix probeset ID, within groups of patients with a certain molecular subtype as defined by Single Sample Predictors (SSP) and/or Subtype Clustering Models (SCM).
Step one You have 3 criteria to choose.
Fill the textbox with actualised* gene symbol (at least 2 characters must be entered) and a dropdown list will appear, you can then select the gene you want to test.
If "gene symbol / all platforms" option is checked only gene symbols are shown in list.
If "gene symbol / Affymetrix platform" is checked only gene symbols represented by a probeset are listed.
JetSet probe: probeset with the highest score given by JetSet algorithm.
Choose the kind of molecular subtype predictor you want to use to define patients' molecular subtypes: single sample predictors (SSPs), subtype clustering models (SCMs), or all.
These datasets are retrieved from annotated genomic data.
"customised percentile": choose any percentile from the 20th to the 80th, with a step of 1, to dichotomise the gene.
Once the 3 criteria have been chosen, click on "Submit".
After submission, a validation page shows information about the gene tested and indicates number of patients and number of events in each subtype, before and after filtering, for the molecular subtyping method(s) chosen.
After visualising the validation screen, you can decide to validate or cancel your submission.
"Start analysis" will launch statistical analyses with the chosen gene and direct you to molecular subtype prognostic analysis result page.
"Cancel" will redirect you back to previous screen, and offer you to choose a new gene.
Results are presented in one or 2 tables, depending on the number of subtyping methods chosen, summarizing analysis results (Cox p-values and hazard ratios with 95% confidence interval, expression level for patients with good prognosis, number of patients and events) for each molecular subtype. Links to Kaplan-Meier curves are embedded in the table.
Gene results are displayed for each subtype defined by each predictor of the molecular subtyping method(s) chosen.
This analysis permits to evaluate the prognostic informativity of the gene per molecular subtype.
The Kaplan-Meier curve associated with the molecular subtype predictor can be visualise by clicking on one of the links embedded in the table: "PNG" (for immediate and simple use) or "EMF" (to adjust the figure in accordance with the requirements of your article's publisher).

Book Review: Liberalism at Large: The World According to the Economist by Alexander Zevin
In Liberalism at Large: The World According to the Economist, Alexander Zevin traces the 177-year history of the Economist newspaper, positioning the Economist not only as a lens for understanding reinterpretations of liberalism across different eras, but also as an active participant in influencing policy and public debate. This is a rigorous and meticulously researched study of the Economist's history and the contingencies that shaped liberalism over the long term, writes Jenny McArthur.

Liberalism at Large: The World According to the Economist. Alexander Zevin. Verso. 2019.
The theories and ideologies that form our political identities must be continuously reinterpreted in order to stay intact. This work of maintaining ideologies is given more attention than usual in Alexander Zevin's Liberalism at Large: The World According to the Economist, which examines the history of liberalism through the 177-year history of the Economist newspaper. After rising to prominence with the Anti-Corn Law League in 1843, the Economist established itself as a weekly news outlet covering politics and business, combining intellectual thought-leadership with market reporting and statistics. This book shows how the newspaper balanced the self-appointed mandate of upholding liberalism against the practical demands of weekly print journalism, competitive media markets and different editors' inclinations.
Liberalism binds together specific economic and political ideals, including free trade, low taxes and private property, accompanied by the rule of law, civil equality, free press and responsible government. Liberalism gained political traction in nineteenth-century Britain with the dispute over the Corn Laws: trade barriers that protected the interests of feudal landowners at the expense of manufacturers. Indeed, the Economist first emerged as a pamphlet for the Anti-Corn Law League, the movement that successfully campaigned for the Corn Laws' abolition in 1846. Since then, liberalism has faced challenges to adapt to wider political and economic shifts: namely, democratic expansion, the rise and fall of empire and the growing power of global finance.
Liberalism at Large scrutinises the Economist's reinterpretation of liberalism across successive wars, financial crises, geopolitical shifts and globalisation, alongside changes in the newspaper's editors, ownership and expansion of the business into new markets. Given the newspaper's close government ties and political influence in the UK and abroad, this history features the Economist not only as a lens for understanding liberalism, but also as an active participant in shaping policies and public debate.
Liberalism at Large emphasises how the newspaper's editors shaped the publication as well as how they influenced economic policy and financial regulation. During the 'zenith of Victorian liberalism' (79), editor Walter Bagehot (1861-77) broadened its political coverage to include comparative analyses of the merits of different political systems. Bagehot also made direct contributions to policy, with new rules for central banking to accommodate globalised financial markets and the Treasury Bill, the financial security that is now the standard for government borrowing.
Editorial direction also established economic justifications for foreign policy and global power shifts. As the British Empire expanded rapidly towards the end of the nineteenth century, editor Edward Johnstone (1883-1907) set out a clear economic rationale for colonisation and the empire's stability. As Zevin writes:
the reproduction of national as well as international wealth was inconceivable for the paper under Johnstone outside the imperial framework, and the invasions, pacifications, occupations and annexations necessary to construct, preserve, and extend it […] Empire structured the world economy and made it safe for capital, even outside the zones under its direct control (129).
The newspaper's wilful ignorance of the struggles of colonised populations shows a myopic interpretation of the liberal 'right to be left alone'. While this view was consistent with most political and business elites of that time, it points to a wider ambivalence toward violence and foreign intervention as justifiable in the wider mission of economic success.
Liberalism at Large shows the conflicting views of war and violence that have played out over the Economist's lifetime. It tended to favour military action by the US and the UK; an outgoing foreign affairs editor suggested in 1988 that the newspaper 'never saw a war it didn't like' (396). However, there were major exceptions, such as editor Francis Hirst's opposition to World War One as 'a crime against economic sense, fatal to the flow of trade and credit that was both the greatest monument to British power and its one true security' (225). This position and the dissent it stirred in the following years led to Hirst's dismissal, after he created too much opposition from within the British establishment. By World War Two, editor Geoffrey Crowther saw the onset of war 'less as a sin against liberalism than a chance to revive liberalism as an instrument of policy after two frustrating decades of inaction and decline' (225), re-establishing the newspaper's support of military action, and in turn, Britain and its empire.
In the contemporary period, globalised finance posed the largest challenge for the newspaper, following the arc of neoliberalism and globalisation, the financial crisis and an unexpected resurgence of populism. The Economist initially underestimated the power of finance in earlier years as financial markets, technologies and regulation underwent profound change and internationalisation. Finance was treated first as a minor detail for broader economic change, as the newspaper minimised the role of crises triggered by sovereign debt and dotcom stocks as 'relatively small bumps on the road to globalised capitalism' (345). However, in 2008, this all changed with the financial crisis and its threat to the global economy. Finance become the most important factor:
As Lehman sent shockwaves through world markets, the Economist – hurricanes, cliffs, ruins, free-falling globes on the cover – suddenly declared it "time to put dogma and politics to one side and concentrate on pragmatic answer". There was no such thing as laissez-faire in a foxhole, for "when global finance stops only governments can start it again", clearing banks of bad assets, guaranteeing their liabilities, dowsing them in liquidity (360).
In the decade following the financial crisis, the Economist acted as an 'automatic stabilizer' (361) for liberal ideology, dismissing those calling for a rethink of neoliberalism and demanding state bailouts and subsequent austerity budgets. However, in 2016 the populist turn challenged the assumption that Western powers would stay faithful to economic doctrine as the inequalities experienced after the crisis strained democratic systems. The UK Brexit referendum and the subsequent election of US President Donald Trump shook the newspaper's foundational beliefs, triggering 'a moment of identity crisis for the paper. ''The Economistbelieves in free trade capitalism, sure, but it also believes in America. What to do when both are stumbling?''' (378). However, if populism was driving the Economist to an identity crisis, the radical economic and financial measures implemented to manage the COVID-19 pandemic in recent months have given the newspaper renewed traction and urgent purpose in raising questions over freedom and government intervention.
In studying a single newspaper and its ideological commitments, there is a temptation to construct history as a catalogue of errors and poor judgements. The Economist, like many other media outlets, misjudged elections, systemic financial risks, referendum results and wars. Zevin holds the Economist to account on these misjudgements, but goes further to unpack how this was underpinned by tensions between liberal ideology and a changing world. Over the long term, liberalism made concessions to allow social safety nets to support stable democracy. It also advocated for government intervention in financial markets, on the basis of maintaining financial stability, although the consequences of such interventions for wealth inequality went far beyond the initial premise of shoring up markets. Empire was broadly supported, and even after decolonisation, the continued primacy of imperial powers was justified as necessary for maintaining economic stability.
In particular, this history shows the Economist's imperative to stay on side with the political and economic elites who buy the newspaper from week to week, initially in Britain and later in America. In this way, the newspaper's loyalties are not only to liberalism but to the interests of these elites, and it becomes difficult when they are at odds with each other. Where it missed legitimate opportunities for critique and erred on the side of empire, war and entrenched power structures, we can draw lessons on the media's role and limitations in maintaining such ideologies. Stronger engagement by Levin with the wider, shifting media environment and the limits of a publication like the Economist would have extended this reflection further.
Overall, Liberalism at Large provides a rigorous study of the Economist's history and the contingencies that shaped liberalism over the long term. The book is meticulously researched and shows the value of using media as a lens to understand ideologies, incorporating the politics of ideas, business models, technologies and political imperatives that shape their interpretation and narratives.

In many real applications of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the decision makers have to deteriorate some inputs and some outputs. This could be because of limitation of funds available. This paper proposes a new DEA-based approach to determine highest possible reduction in the concern input variables and lowest possible deterioration in the concern output variables without reducing the efficiency in any DMU. A numerical example is used to illustrate the problem. An application in banking sector with limitation of IT investment shows the usefulness of the proposed method.

Extracts about Glyn from a longer biography about him in the 'expanded' anthology of his wisdom, 'The Potential of Mediumship: A Collection of Essential Teachings and Exercises'.
Glyn Edwards was born in Liverpool on 17th August 1949 During in his Earth-life, Glyn became internationally recognised as one of the UK's finest mediums. At 16 he joined a Benedictine community. Within this period of his life, various mediumistic experiences he had had since a child intensified, which subsequently led him to leave the community after staying for two years.
He began working regularly and publicly as a medium in his early 20s. He later became a certificated medium of the SNU (Spiritualists' National Union) and a protégée of the world renowned medium Gordon M Higginson, and worked on a variety of projects with him for many years.
He travelled extensively, speaking, lecturing, demonstrating and running workshops throughout the UK and worldwide for over 40 years. He owed much of his early work to Jean Matheson, a long-time friend and organiser of numerous successful events and courses in the north of England, who sat for him in a highly productive development circle and helped him gain confidence in his abilities.
He was the main founder of the Gordon Higginson Fellowship and the Gordon Higginson Awareness Foundation (known now as the Glyn Edwards Spiritual Awareness Foundation), both of which ran various courses in the south of England. He was also a regular course organiser and teacher at the Arthur Findlay College for over three decades and worked at the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain, and was involved with the research of PRISM (Psychical Research Involving Selected Mediums).
He was particularly known for the quality of his work and his ability to demonstrate his mediumship almost effortlessly in front of large audiences. On some occasions he gave a demonstration of trance mediumship. More than anything, Glyn was highly respected for his understanding of and insight into different areas of mediumistic unfoldment and his devotion to helping students explore and realise their individual potential.
He was interviewed on television and radio throughout the world, recorded many teachings and practices, wrote numerous articles on mediumship and spiritual growth, and co-authored two development manuals. Both of which were thoroughly revised and given new titles in 2011: 'The Spirit World in Plain English' and 'Spirit Gems'. Glyn was also extensively featured in two in-depth interviews in the book 'Realms of Wondrous Gifts',* released in 2008, and featured in a book called 'The Best of British', which was released to coincide with the new millennium. The anthology of his wisdom, 'The Potential of Mediumship', was first released in 2012.
For a while, he undertook instruction from a re

cover author's photo of his first and
nowned tantric yoga master, Sri Jammu Maharaj, as well as a teacher from the Bihar School of Yoga, Swami Dharmananda Saraswati Maharaj, who gave him the name Devadasa (meaning 'servant of God'). Along with eastern wisdom and practices such as Mindfulness, Glyn was for many years deeply inspired by the teachings of the New Thought writer and teacher Ernest Holmes, took serious interest in the revival of Centring Prayer pioneered by Thomas Keating, and found times being amongst Nature an important part of his spiritual life.
In 2003 he made the front page of Psychic News (which he had done many times in his mediumistic life) after being struck-down by a mystery illness that affected the muscles on the left side of his face as well as his balance and often used a stick for walking from then on. After this, he showed how determination and the power of the spirit can overcome adversity. Remarkably many testified to how his work and teachings moved on to a deeper level. He personally found this chapter in his life opening up many profound insights and experiences that expanded his mediumistic and spiritual understanding.
In the late spring of 2014 he was diagnosed with cancer and underwent chemotherapy. Although it became clear Glyn was not responding well to the treatment, he insisted on teaching up to the last and even dictated an article from his hospital bed towards the end of his Earth-life. He remained positive and passed to spirit peacefully with his mother and sister, Elaine, by his side at 10 am on 31st May 2015.
A service for close friends and family was held in the morning at Crownhill Crematorium, Milton Keynes on 12th June. A celebration of his life was especially held in the afternoon at Akeley Village Hall for public attendance and to coincide with his youngest brother, Delwyn, and one of Glyn's best friends being in the UK at the same time. People whose lives had been touched by Glyn came from as far as Scotland, Germany, Sweden and Holland. Other celebration and memorial services and remembrances of Glyn's life were also organised, including one in the United States, and one by the SNU at the Arthur Findlay College on its Open Week in 2016.
Glyn's work lives on of course in his books, recordings and with various people and students he helped, many of whom have become teachers and mediums in their own rights. There has even been reports of him communicating via some working mediums and mediumistic development circles, and the Glyn Edwards Spiritual Awareness Foundation continues to run courses honouring his name.
*Glyn especially requested the 'Realms' book to be written, and for it to be published by the Gordon Higginson Fellowship, one of the organisations Glyn founded.

TB restricted herds in England by county
In the above graph the percentage of restricted herds was calculated by dividing the number of herds under TB movement restriction (non-OTF) by the total number of herds.
The total number of herds for 2009 and 2010 were calculated by extrapolation using the total number of herds in 1998 and in 2008 for all counties except for Cambridgeshire. In Cambridgeshire, the total number of herds in 2007 were used instead of the total number of herds in 2008. All this data is shown in Fig 74 below.
Data is not shown for 2001 because an insufficient number of herds were tested in that year due to Foot and Mouth.
The same data is plotted in the above graph except that it is smoothed. According to Reference 1, testing in the following counties changed on 1st January 2013 so that the counties went on to one-year testing. These counties are listed below in descending order of TB level in 2008 after smoothing.
The next ones on the list continuing in descending order which are not currently due (Date of edit: 31Aug2013) to go to one-year testing would be as follows:
Animal county data fails to give this clear picture.
Areas where the cattle population is too small to give a result with high statistical confidence are excluded from the above list. For example the Isle of White only had 4 TB restricted herds in 2010 but in terms of a proportion exceeded that of Cambridgeshire and Licolnshire in 2008 after smoothing.
In the above graph the total number of herds in each county are shown. Numbers for years 2009 and 2010 were calculated as described above.
DEFRA's ability to extend its annual county herd data beyond 2010 is in doubt
The following is an extract taken from email correspondence with DEFRA in 2010. It gives some background regarding the problems faced by DEFRA when analysing bovine TB data. This pre-dates SAM the new data processing system which replaced VETNET. Work to replace VETNET is referred to at the end of the extract.
[START OF EXTRACT]
The problem is that the VetNet system dates from the early 1980s, and has limited storage space. So the 'number of herds under restriction' is overwritten each week, meaning you can have a snapshot of the proportion of herds restricted, which we publish each month - as you say, it is a good indicator of the impact on the industry - but [does] not track which herds became restricted and unrestricted over time.
It is indeed less than ideal, not least because of the time it takes my team to extract and manipulate all the data each month. We're currently testing a new automatic reporting system which should make querying VetNet much easier and eliminate human error. The Animal Health agency are working on a successor to VetNet - some modules are in place but the TB module is the most complex and work has only recently started on that.
[END OF EXTRACT]
It appears from this that it was relatively easy to produce a snapshot of the number of herds under restriction each month. However due to lack of storage space it was not possible to keep track of which herds became restricted and unrestricted over time without overwritting data each week.
Such tracking would be required to calculate the ANNUAL number of herds from 1998 to 2012. Unlike Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic who have provided historic annual county data7,8, DEFRA have only provided a monthly "snapshot" of recent county data on their web site. In addition to this no annual county data has been provided in response to recent Freedom of Information requests9,4.
During the transition period from VETNET to SAM, due to teething problems with SAM, DEFRA had to resort to making paper records of some data as reported in Reference 3 which reports the European Commission's audit made in 2011. An extract is shown below.
AHVLA is seeking to reduce the reliance on a number of old "unstable" IT systems through the development and implementation of new software (linking the main bodies responsible for TB controls, including the laboratory network). In relation to TB controls, the roll out of the new TB module for the AHVLA system "SAM" release 6 scheduled for 5 September 2011 was postponed. During the audit, it was noted that case management was impeded due to the incomplete/delayed access to information during this transitional period. Some case officers maintained paper files for important dossiers.
This raises the question of whether data was lost during the transition from VETNET to SAM and, if data was lost, which years this affected (or affects, if problems are still ongoing).
Why is annual county herd data important?
Annual county HERD data is important because it gives a clear indication of how bovine TB is spreading into new counties as shown in Fig 76 above. Annual county ANIMAL data does not give this clear picture. In addition to this, the picture given by MONTHLY HERD data is less clear because it is subject to the strong cyclic nature of herd testing and how testing rises and falls throughout the year as shown by the monthly data shown in Reference 10. As such annual data is valuable as it helps to clearly identify counties which are newly emerging as high risk.
So what is DEFRA currently doing?
According to the reply to Reference 4 (dated 6th March 2013), DEFRA will shortly be carrying out a public consultation on the way that they publish regional statistics. They also state in the above reply that continuity of herd data back to 1996 has not been lost4. Whether or not continuity of their COUNTY herd data has been lost remains to be seen. (Date of edit: 2nd September 2013). Unfortunately a request sent in July 2013 to DEFRA asking them to update data, which they sent in 2009 to the author, was not successful.
David Heath, the Minister of State for Agriculture and Food (Date of edit: 31Aug2013) said in a reply dated 29Oct12 in Hansard Written Answers and Statements that quality assurance work is currently being carried out on historic country and county level bovine tuberculosis statistics and will be published during the next few months2. As of writing this (Date of edit: 31st Aug 2013), this statement was made 10 months ago so hopefully historical county data will be published very shortly. In what form this takes, remains to be seen.

Harnessing Informal Networks
Another Harvard Business Review article in the March 2010 issue is worth highlighting. A piece by Richard McDermott and Douglas Archibald examines informal and formal networks in companies, such as Fluor and ConocoPhillips, but their insights are relevant to public agencies as well. And they may be helpful to the Obama Administration's efforts to create its proposed set of "problem solving networks."

Topic 3: Federal Contracting and Acquisition
Over the past two decades, a series of trends have resulted in a chorus of voices in Congress, the media and the public concluding that the current federal contracting system is broken. Between 1989 and 2000, Congress mandated deep cuts in the Defense acquisition workforce. During the 1990s, the federal government shifted its contracting approach from one focused on buying supplies to one buying services, using new flexible contracting vehicles. Beginning in 2000, federal contracting increased from $220 billion to over $530 billion in 2008, with no increase in contracting staff.

Topic 2: Implementing the Recovery Act
Congress passed the $787 billion Recovery Act in early 2009. The Act – sometimes referred to as the stimulus bill – focused on job creation, but it does so through hundreds of existing and new federal programs. Implementing these programs falls on the shoulders of thousands of state, local, non-profit, and private organizations. The Act also spawned new governance models. What are the implications of these models for national policy leadership, accountability, and our federal system?

Framing a Public Management Research Agenda
The IBM Center for The Business of Government hosted a forum in November 2009 to examine the Obama Administration's themes for a high-performing government and to frame a public management research agenda.
Participants included nearly 50 of the nation's top public management researchers, scholars, and distinguished practitioners. The forum was an effort to help bridge the gap between research and practice, and to collectively develop a research agenda that would help government executives move things forward.

The ASMR genre has grown from a YouTube curiosity to a full-blown industry, with whispery creators bringing their soothing sounds to the worlds of art, video games, and more. With so much ASMR content now available on YouTube, it can be hard for newcomers to the space to find a niche — but Rhino Stew has found a fun way to break in. The production company, which describes its work as "high quality eclectic entertainment," released a short film that gives the ASMR treatment to a bank robbery scenario.
The video, written and directed by Rhino Stew ringleader Luke Palmer and starring Jill Galbraith, begins as many ASMR videos do — with a softspoken host sitting in front of a microphone and whispering sweet nothings to her viewers. Before long, however, we are in a van and cruising over to a bank. What happens next is both a fun example of ASMR (though ruined, at least partially, by loud gunshots) and a satire of it.
If the creativity of Rhino Stew's unique take on ASMR excites you, you can check out the studio's other work. The videos available on its YouTube channel include a series called 2 Kawaii 4 Comfort, which is set at an anime convention, and a trailer for a video game that mashes up the work of David Lynch with the educational typing video games of the 90s.


This website is about turfgrass varieties, not turfgrass species. Each table must therefore be regarded separately, with no direct comparison between different species or areas of use. Readers not familiar with species' characteristics and areas of use should read 'The Grass Guide', which is available at http://sterf.golf.se.
The SCANTURF tables not only include varieties that have been tested since the program started in 2005, but also varieties that are still on the market after being tested in the former national programs. Amalgamation of results has been possible because control varieties within each species / subspecies were mostly the same. Mean values have been presented in the case of conflicting results among the former programs. Empty cells in the tables reflect that all characters were not assessed in all programs. Varieties that have been withdrawn or are no longer on the market have been deleted from the tables.
Both SCANTURF and SCANGREEN tables contain one main section and one section for new varieties that are included in the ongoing trials and for which results are therefore preliminary and more uncertain. By default varieties have been ranked, firstly by decreasing general impression, secondly by decreasing density, thirdly by decrasing winter hardiness and fourthly increasing relative growth rate. By using the sorting function, readers can make their own ranking depending on the character that they find most important for their particular area of use. Readers should keep in mind that the varieties on the top of the lists may not be the best for every use.
All varieties have been indicated with a variety owner or representative whose contact information can be found here. Readers looking for seed of a particular variety should contact the variety owner / representative who will be able to advise on the nearest distributor/agent.
General impression. General impression is a summary of all other characters and reflects the overall visual merit of the variety in lawns not particularly exposed to wear. In the SCANTURF lists general impression is presented both as an overall mean for all trials using mowing heights in the range 10-40 mm, and as a mean for trials practicing mowing heights between 10 and 20 mm (short-cut lawn). The ranking scale is always 1-9, where 9 is the best turf.
Wear tolerance reflects turf grass ground coverage and overall appearance after intense use of football-type wear machines. The ranking scale is 1-9, where 9 is the most wear-tolerant turf.
Density reflects the number of tillers per area unit. The ranking scale is 1-9, where 9 is the densest turf (highest tiller number).
Leaf fineness reflects leaf width, in other words the coarseness of the turf. The ranking scale is 1-9, where 9 is the finest leaves.
Colour (genetic colour) indicates the darkness of the green colour for unstressed and undiseased turf during the growing season. The ranking scale is 1-9, where 9 is the darkest turf.
Winter colour (dormancy colour) describes freshness (greenness) vs. fadedness (brownness) of the turf when it is not growing, i.e. during the winter season. The ranking scale is 1-9, where 9 is most freshly green and 1 is completely brown / wilted.
Winter hardiness includes tolerance to all kinds of winter damage whether caused by freezing temperature, prolonged snow cover, desiccation, water, ice, or winter diseases. The ranking scale is 1-9, where 9 is the most winter-hardy turf.
Resistance to specific diseases The tables sometimes include resistance to specific diseases. The ranking scale is always 1-9, where higher numbers indicate better resistance. Because symptoms of disease are not always diagnosed or it can be difficult to identify the primary infection, SCANGREEN tables always include an overall ranking of resistance to all diseases occurring during the growing season, such as microdochium patch (Microdochium nivale developing without snow cover), red thread (Laetisaria fuciformis), rust (Puccinia and Uromyces sp.), leaf spots (Drechslera sp.) and take-all (Gaeumannomyces graminis). Resistance to winter diseases such as gray snow mold (Typhula incarnata) and pink snow mold (Microdochium nivale developing under snow cover) are not included in this overall character for in-season diseases, but part of the winter hardiness character; sometimes they are also specified separately.
Relative growth rate is based on measurements of turf grass height or rate of leaf extension, thus reflecting mowing requirements. Growth rate is presented as a number relative to a control variety which was set to 100.

Niagara Falls becomes 'icy spectacle' as frigid temperatures bring breathtaking views
Recent Niagara Falls visitors have been in awe of the popular tourist destination — but not for its roaring waterfalls.
Rather, many tourists have taken to social media to share stunning photos of a layer of ice that has formed over parts of the falls, giving the illusion that some sections, which can reach heights of 176 feet, are frozen solid.
Bret Baier's car flipped on an icy road. 'Banged up, but alive,' the Fox News anchor said.

Baier, the network's chief political anchor, was scheduled to appear on Colbert's show the following evening, the late-night host explained to his audience.
But the Baier family was involved in a car crash in Montana on their way to the airport, where their vehicle skidded on iced-covered roads and flipped over.
And the initial reports were unsettling.

Insulin costs per patient nearly doubled from 2012 to 2016: study
HCCI, based in Washington, D.C., tracks insurance claims data on about 80 million people, drawing on information from the government's Medicare health plan for Americans aged 65 and older and four of the industry's largest health insurers: UnitedHealth Group, Aetna, now owned by CVS Health Corp, Humana Inc and Kaiser Permanente.
The insulin report analyzed commercial claims data for about 15,000 patients with type 1 diabetes annually who had at least one prescription for an insulin product during the year.
Supreme Court lets Pentagon limit transgender military service while lawsuits proceed
The ruling reversed the orders implemented by lower courts, which had prevented the Pentagon from proceeding with the plan.
The decision came after the Justice Department requested that the Supreme Court bypass the lower courts and decide the issue—a request the high court rejected on Tuesday, instead directing the case to work its way through the appeals and lower courts.
Supreme Court rejects appeal, for now, of high school coach fired for praying on field
But while conservative Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas said they are interested in his case and the legal issues it raises, they agreed that the court is right to reject the appeal for the time being.
Lower courts had said that Kennedy was not immediately entitled to get his job back, rejecting his claim that the school district violated his free speech rights by putting him on paid leave after he continued to pray.
SUPREME COURT TAKES UP FIRST GUN RIGHTS CASE IN A DECADE
The justices will decide whether a New York City ordinance which strictly regulates the possession and transportation of handguns outside the home is constitutional.
Tuesday's grant marks the first time that the Supreme Court has engaged with the Second Amendment since it issued a pair of landmark decisions in 2008 and 2010 which affirmed the constitutional right to keep guns in the home for self-defense.
Since those two decisions, however, the federal courts have upheld a range of gun control measures against constitutional challenges, to the consternation of Second Amendment activists. The high court's continued silence on gun rights in view of those rulings baffled many observers and periodically drew fierce dissents from the conservative justices.
Facebook's new petition feature could be its next battlefield
TechCrunch reports that the new option, called Community Actions, will allow users to add a title, a description and even tag relevant officials and government agencies as a way to help the petition go viral and prompt others to hit the "support" button.
TechCrunch says that it's possible users with "fringe agendas" could harness the petitions feature to bully certain groups or otherwise wreak havoc.
The Menlo Park, Calif. company, which has struggled to stem the tide of misinformation and fake news on its platform, is reportedly hoping to keep Community Actions more narrowly focused on pushing for government action, as opposed to any random cause that a user could come up with.
NBC raises eyebrows over $400 million relationship with BuzzFeed

DePauw University professor and media critic Jeffrey McCall told Fox News that it should be "standard operating procedure that a media organization explain its financial interests and connections" in such a situation.
"Most news consumers would have no idea that BuzzFeed is supported financially by NBC," McCall said.
"Even with the news operations being editorially independent from each other, reporting by NBC/MSNBC of BuzzFeed content should be put in context, just so viewers can have full and transparent bases on which to assess the story."
Singer Chris Brown held in Paris after rape complaint
The Grammy-winning singer was detained Monday on potential charges of aggravated rape and drug infractions, a judicial official said. According to the same official, Brown and the other suspects were still in custody Tuesday evening.
The woman who filed the Paris complaint said she met Brown and his friends overnight Jan. 15-16 at the club Le Crystal in the 8th arrondissement near the Champs-Elysees, and then they all went to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel near the Concorde Plaza in central Paris, according to a police official.

WaPo Urges Pelosi To Take Trump's Deal as Pressure Splits Dem. Leadership from Others
Sunday's editorial explained why young people who came to the U.S. through the Obama-era program are in peril of being deported.
If nothing happens soon, then the Dreamers could get the short end of the stick, The Post noted.
"If no deal is reached, the Supreme Court is likely at some point to end that dispensation, as Mr. Trump has demanded, and they will be sent back into the shadows, or to countries of which they have no memory."
Despite Pelosi request to delay, Trump moves ahead with SOTU
The gamesmanship began last week when Pelosi sent a letter to Trump suggesting that he either deliver the speech in writing or postpone it until after the partial government shutdown is resolved, citing security concerns.
But the White House maintains Pelosi never formally rescinded her invitation, and is, in essence, calling her bluff.
The president cannot speak in front of a joint session of Congress without both chambers' explicit permission. A resolution agreed to by both chambers specifies the date and time of a joint session of the House and the Senate for receiving an address from the president.
Ocasio-Cortez calls climate change 'our World War II,' warns the world will end in 12 years
"Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we're like: 'The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don't address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?'" Ocasio-Cortez said.

OCASIO-CORTEZ COMPARES AMERICA'S PAST TO NAZI GERMANY, SAYS US SHOULD PAY REPARATIONS LIKE THEY DID
"People think reparations is reparations for slavery, but really, economically speaking, reparations are for the damage done by the New Deal and redlining because that is where we saw a compounding of the existing inequity from the legacy of slavery, where we drew red lines around black communities," Ocasio-Cortez said.
"We said white communities will get home loans and they will get access to the basic bedrock of wealth in America and this will be your heirloom and we gave white America the heirloom that appreciated overtime, that people still benefit from today and we did not give to African-American and Mexican communities, Puerto Rican communities."
The New York congresswoman also compared the treatment of non-white communities in America's past to the Holocaust, urging the United States to follow Germany's example by paying reparations and acknowledge the suffering that occurred during Nazi occupation in order to move forward.
Immigration:
HERE'S HOW THE WHITE HOUSE IS TRYING TO STOP FUTURE CARAVANS
New language included in legislation the administration is putting before the U.S. Senate this week will instead require Central-American migrant children to apply for asylum in their home countries.
The provision would instead allow these children to remain in their home countries while their cases are being adjudicated, removing the strain on U.S. authorities by not allowing them to claim asylum at the southern border.
A senior administration official pointed to a provision of the legislation that would allow for the removal and deportation of individuals from Central American migrants in a timely manner. The provision would end catch-and-release policy and would work to discourage would-be migrants from making the dangerous trek to the U.S. over nearly 1,000 miles of desert.
Trump: 'No cave' on wall demands
President Trump on Tuesday reiterated he would not budge on his demand to fund a wall along the southern border, dimming prospects for an imminent solution to a prolonged partial government shutdown.
"Without a Wall our Country can never have Border or National Security," Trump said in a tweet, insisting that a wall or steel barrier would cut crime rates.

Israel calls on UN Security Council to block Iranian terror funding: 'Israel will not hold back'
Israel's United Nations Ambassador Danny Danon
"If we must, we will respond alone. We will defend our democracy; safeguard our sovereignty; and protect our people," Danon told the Council at a debate on the Middle East. "If Israel must act, Israel will not hold back."
Danon said Tehran spends $7 billion a year on funding terrorism, and presented members with new information showing how Iran had been increasing funding and training to terror groups in the West Bank.
He called on the U.N. to label groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic jihad as terrorist organizations, which would in turn bar countries from sending them money.
Matteo Salvini: 'I Am Proud' to Have Halted Illegal Immigration
"You enter Italy by saying 'May I come in' and 'Please,'" Mr. Salvini said in a Tweet to his followers, explaining that by combatting illegal immigration he was also fighting human trafficking and the drug trade.
Decrying smugglers and human traffickers, Salvini said he had evidence that "with the money they make—around 3,000 euro for every person they put on the boat—they buy arms and drugs. So stopping the trafficking of human beings does not just mean stopping immigration, but it also means blocking weapon and drug trafficking."
Exclusive: Iraqi scientist says he helped ISIS make chemical weapons
Afari, who is 52 now and on death row, recounted his recruitment and life under the Islamic State in a rare interview inside the fortresslike headquarters of the Kurdistan Regional Government's Counterterrorism Department. An affable, neatly groomed man, Afari is among the few known participants in the Islamic State's chemical weapons program to be captured alive.
He described in matter-of-fact detail the terrorist group's successful attempts to make sulfur mustard — a first-generation chemical weapon that inflicted tens of thousands of casualties during World War I — as part of an ambitious, little-understood effort to create novel weapons and delivery systems to defend the Islamic State's territory and terrorize its opponents.
His account was confirmed and augmented by U.S. and Kurdish officials who participated in missions to destroy the Islamic State's weapons plants and to kill or capture its senior leaders.

Police in the northeastern Spanish region of Catalonia arrested 18 members of a jihadi cell plotting an attack in Barcelona — and then released all but three.
The arrests have drawn renewed attention to the continuing problem of radical Islam in Catalonia, which has one of the largest per capita Muslim populations in Europe.
The cell — comprised of individuals from Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya and Morocco — was broken up on January 15, when more than a hundred police officers raided five properties in Barcelona and the Catalan town of Igualada.
Child identified as patient killed by pigeon droppings-linked infection
Cryptococcus primarily infects immunosuppressed individuals and is transmitted through exposure to contaminated soil or bird droppings, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
Symptoms can include fever, headache, neck stiffness, malaise, photophobia, nausea and vomiting. Though coma and death are rare, they can occur.
Infection control measures were put in place, and Freeman said a smoke test helped officials identify the problematic area in the hospital. Vulnerable patients were also being given preventative care.
Bangladeshi 'tree man' reportedly back in hospital with more growths
Abul Bajandar, seen in an undated photo, previously made headlines after he had 11 pounds of growths shaved from his hands. (CEN)
EV is an inherited genodermatosis that stems from chronic HPV, which causes patients to develop polymorphous cutaneous lesions and leaves them at high risk of developing non-melanoma skin cancer.
According to the Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center (GARD), while the exact number of patients who have EV is unknown, it's been reported at least 200 times so far.
Bajandar had undergone several surgeries in 2016 after the growths left him unable to eat, drink, work or hold his own daughter. But 28-year-old allegedly skipped appointments with his doctors last year, and the growths have not only returned but allegedly have thickened and spread to his feet and body
Philippines considers law to lower criminally responsible age to nine
Salvador Panelo, a representative for Duterte, said current law allows adults to put children up to crimes "because they know the children will be freed."
So under the proposed new law, President Duterte seeks to "protect the children" by dissuading criminals from using them as drug mules.
Duterte has consistently claimed existing law hampers efforts by law enforcement to act against minors who work on behalf of drug gangs.
Zimbabwe leader warns 'heads will roll' after violent crackdown of protesters
He said he will investigate the reports of violence against demonstrators after the country's human rights commission said people were "systematically tortured."

Information from the Interior Ministry revealed that investigators opened up 33,341 murder cases last year – more than 91 a day, almost four an hour; compared to 25,036 in 2017, according to Reuters.
The central state of Guanajuato – which has been struggling with turf wars amongst gangs – was said to be the hardest hit region, with 3,290 investigations in 2018, compared to 1,084 the year prior.

Franklin Graham: Truth—it's 100 percent right, 100 percent of the time
A recent Fox News report about the impact of the partial government shutdown especially caught my attention.
It said that some 10,000 U.S. air traffic controllers have been working without pay. I'm a pilot myself—in fact, this past week I flew to Bangkok, Thailand, to preach the Gospel. I know firsthand how vital these men and women are to our aviation safety.
Air traffic controllers provide guidance and coordination to the hundreds of aircraft in our skies. Their job is stressful under the best of conditions. One spokesman for them said, "You have to be 100 percent right, 100 percent of the time."
The Left Sees Racism EVERYWHERE: Cotton Fields, Monkeys, and McDonald's
You might see a monkey and think "cute!" but the Left sees a monkey and thinks "black person!! Get rid of that monkey; it's making me think of black people!!" How is that not racist?
Leftists constantly project their racist thoughts onto everything and everyone, but for some reason they get a pass.
Fellow BlazeTV host Graham Allen recently uploaded a picture of his kids, and THAT was attacked for being racist. Take one look at his comments section and tell me who the real racist aggressors are.

Gender mainstreaming into Food Security Initiatives
This study presents an assessment of Gender mainstreaming into Food Security Initiatives of West African Intergovernmental Organizations. ISBN 978-99944-61-39-4
This report is the first building block of a large initiative aiming to integrate the gender dimension into the West African fight for food security. The core of the project is the introduction of the "gender mainstreaming approach" as a means to support human and economic progress in the subregion.
The present work has mainly consisted to assess at which extent West African Intergovernmental Organizations' (WAIGOs') initiatives on food security take into account the gender dimension, and to identify potential related gaps.
The report has proceeded with a "Gender audit" promoted as a basic evaluation and reshaping tool for a number of approaches and policies. The short- to mid-term objective is to feed a constructive dialogue on this issue among stakeholders and grassroots actors. Their reflection has led to a new social and political agenda including women at all levels of decision and actions.
The methodology used consisted of a review of relevant documents, mainly official references and scientific testimonies. Upstream, an analysis of the context was imperative. In this sense, the introduction situates the subregional profile and agricultural production potential.
It also clarifies the guiding principles of the review (women's roles, needs, and impacts) as well as knowledge relative to gender concepts and gender relations.
The relationship between gender and food security is undeniable and of utmost importance. The double standard, which affects women's status and their role in agriculture, affects food security in all countries.
This study revealed that gender inequity and the underestimated capacities of women are some of the most significant obstacles to social and economic development in West Africa.
Acknowledging this reality, ECOWAS has long been stressing that "without a more inclusive approach, things can only improve very slowly." This conviction is widely shared and has been clearly expressed in the context of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) launched in 2004.
Through this progressive programme, African Heads of State have not only focused on agriculture-based development to battle food shortage and penury, but also bet on a gender-mainstreaming platform.
However, among the WAIGOs initiatives put in place over the last decade, many programmes and measures have considered women's role in agriculture and food security.
Further to a succinct portrait of five organizations involved in the fight against hunger, several actions oriented towards women are presented, and some are clearly inspired by gender mainstreaming. Among those promising initiatives, the Gender Development Centre (ECOWAS and CILLS) of which training sessions have laid foundations for a new framework.
Based on international experience, and in accordance with the third Millennium Development Goal (MDG), the study recommended improvements in the following areas:
(a) Commitment and accountability;
(b) Capacity enhancement;
(c) Suitable tools and guidelines; Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), West African Economicand Monetary Union (WAEMU), Mano River Union (MRU), Gambia River Basin Development Organization (OMVG), West African Development Bank (WASB), and Interstate Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (CILSS).
(d) Training in Gender mainstreaming;
(e) Women empowerment.
(f) Workload distribution; and
(g) Experience sharing.
