Northeast Ohio's Newest American Citizens Seize Chance To Become Voters

It happens at the Carl B. Stokes U.S. Courthouse in downtown Cleveland every other Friday: A diverse group of immigrants gathers in the Jury Assembly Room – and leaves as American citizens.
It's called a naturalization ceremony – the final part of the process by which a foreign citizen or national is granted U.S. citizenship. The ceremony is joyous and emotional, and each one brings together people from dozens of different countries.
"We obviously have a lot from Bhutan, but today we had one large family from Pakistan," said Judge Dan A. Polster of the Northern District of Ohio. He says he's seen just about every country represented in the 20 years he's presided over the naturalization ceremonies as a federal district court judge.
Federal District Court Judge Dan A. Polster shakes hands with a new U.S. citizen from China before handing him his Certificate of Naturalization.
But all the nationalities represented in these crowds over the years have something in common, he said. "They all have the immigrant spirit. It is all these courageous entrepreneurial people who have a lot more courage than, candidly, I think I would have," said Polster. "I mean, to leave everyone you know, your family, your friends, your language, your culture and come a long way away to a place where everything is different."
One important difference might be the ability to cast a meaningful ballot for the first time.
"For some of these men and women, this will be the first really free election they'll have," said Polster. "There may have been elections, but there maybe is only one person on the ballot or someone's checking sort of surreptitiously who you vote for."
So, while the ceremony begins inside, just steps outside the door, Cathy Goskey from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections and Simeon Best from Cuyahoga County Department of Health and Human Services prepare to turn new citizens into new voters.
Simeon Best, the Voting Rights Coordinator for Cuyahoga County Health and Human Services, checks over the voter registration form of a new U.S. citizen just outside the Jury Assembly Room.
"Today, we're registering people to vote. So as soon as they finish their ceremonies, we are giving them the cards they can fill out," said Best. The voter registration cards go to the Board of Elections, and the newly registered voters will then receive a follow-up card in the mail explaining how to vote.
During the ceremony, Judge Polster gives the new citizens a gentle nudge to register when it's over, but there's no arm-twisting required. "As soon as they walk out the of the door, they're ready," said Best. "Coming here and being really able to participate now and let their voice be counted, anyone would be excited for that opportunity."
Excited might be an understatement for Deena Sheikh, originally from Pakistan, a country with a history of election-related violence and shaky leadership.
"That is kind of the first important thing of you being a citizen because you get to say what's going to happen in the country. You get to say what's going to happen in the state or even county-wide," said Sheikh. "So you will have a voice."

SC Johnson announced the family company has acquired Laboratório Osler do Brasil, maker of the Exposis insect repellent brand.
Exposis is available exclusively over the counter in pharmacies throughout Brazil. It uses Picaridin as the active ingredient that helps repel mosquitoes and other insects.
As a private company, SC Johnson does not disclose details regarding financial or business transactions.
SC Johnson is the world's largest manufacturer of pest control products, including OFF!, Raid, Autan and Baygon. For 60 years, SC Johnson entomologists have studied insects at the Entomology Research Center in Racine, the largest private, urban entomology research center in the world. In their research, they help SC Johnson create products that consumers can trust and provide them with the right product for their pest control needs.
The company has committed to provide up to $15 million in resources globally to help protect against mosquitoes. To date, more than $8 million of OFF! products and financial donations have been provided to organizations to aid in mosquito protection around the world, especially those regions with high risk of Zika virus and dengue fever outbreaks.

Armed with soft- and hard-wares of their own invention, electronic composers Joshua Fried (aka Radio Wonderland) and Luke Dubois recycle the detritus of our mass-market culture into wild expressions of new media music. Armed with an 1980s-era boom box and an array of bizarro MIDI controllers (fashioned out of a steering wheel and old shoes), the antenna of Radio Wonderland receives messages from FM radio, transforms them in real time and rebroadcasts into rhythm-heavy improvisations. Feet have been known to dance.
Luke DuBois uses original software to deconstruct the greatest hits of modern culture—Oscar-winning films and Billboard Number One hits—into mind bending a/v abstractions. Nick Hallett and Zach Layton fill in the blanks with music fit for academic curricula by Terry Riley, Boris Blacher, Luciano Berio, Laurie Anderson, Meredith Monk, Olivier Messiaen, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Yoko Ono, and Arthur Russell.


The Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Act has been imminent for some years, and was finally signed into law in November 2013. In principle, the business community has welcomed POPI as it brings South African legislation in line with international directives and laws that deal with the thorny issue of data privacy.
In essence, POPI deals with how companies handle their customers' personal information; ensuring that they take due care in collecting, storing, sharing and destroying it. Tobin says there are many different aspects to the definition of personal information, all of which will need to be clarified once the Act is running. And, while many companies have started overhauling their IT processes in anticipation of POPI, there are many areas where they could still fall short – or fail to recognise there could be an issue.
"To start off with, there are so many different record types: electronic; photographs; documents; fiche; books; film; computers; maps; and other. We are going to have to tighten up our record-keeping if we want to comply with POPI. "Then, in many cases it's not altogether clear what personal information is. Where does social media fit in? What is the profile we maintain on ourselves, our employees and our customers? And don't forget, in terms of the Act, a company is a person as well." Companies also have to consider special requirements.
"There are special considerations including information about children, the rights of data subjects, and the appointment of information officers, electronic direct marketing, trans-border information flows and more. "You need to understand the implications of POPI in your day-today operations as well as for events like direct marketing, call centres and exhibitions." Once the Act is fully commenced (promulgated) and the Information Regulator set up, companies will have just 12 months to become compliant with the legislation. And companies that don't comply face the prospect of a fine and possibly even prison sentences for company directors. "There could potentially be fines of up to R10-million and jail time of up to 10 years for executives," Tobin points out. "Other implications of non-compliance include possible civil damages claims – including class action suits – as well as damage to the company's reputation, loss of customers and damage to the business." But there are upsides to compliance as well, he says.
Many companies are still mulling whether they need to change the way they do business as a result of the new Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI). While some have adopted a wait-and see attitude, others have been a bit more proactive. Rexel is a case in point: when POPI was signed into law in 2013, the company set out to find out exactly what implications it held for the business.
Dr Peter Tobin from IACT-Africa describes their action as a "bit of a leap in the dark" as the stationery organisation set out to find out how to adapt its business practices to accommodate the new legislation. To start with, Rexel completed an assessment to gauge its initial level of compliance with the Act. This was followed by an analysis of what personal information processing takes place with the organisation. "Once this was understood, policies were developed to meet the needs of the business and its stakeholders," says Tobin. "We were then able to design training for each staff member at Rexel that ensures they understand the Act and how it impacts their own job." The next step, and one that Rexel is already taking, is to make POPI compliance part of the company culture.
"An example is when you take someone's business card, what do you do with it?" Tobin asks. "If you throw it in the bin you are making a big mistake: according to POPI you need to know where any information goes when you've finished with it. "We need to change our thinking about a lot of things." Even shredding a document might not be sufficiently compliant, Tobin adds. "There are a number of different security standards for shredders and your staff needs to be aware of what they are. You need to think about the personal data contained on things like your old cell phones, photocopiers, fax machines, tablets and USBs among others."Having worked with Rexel on a POPI plan of action, Tobin says the messaging is starting to emerge in the company's marketing, giving it an edge as having taken the initiative.

Покровское-2 (Покровское-Гагарино, Петровское, Рождествено) — село в Михайловском районе Рязанской области России.

Первоначальное название — село Гагарино.

Расположено на реке Проня.

Население

Усадьба Покровское-Гагарино
Усадьба полковника А. И. Дубровского известна в последней четверти XVIII века. В середине и второй половине XIX века принадлежала дворянам Сипягиным, в роду которых и оставалась и в начале XX века.

Церковь Покрова
В 1679 году в селе была построена Покровская церковь.

В 1686 году за храмом числилось 36 десятин земли, что являлось неплохим подспорьем в церковном хозяйстве.

С годами храм настолько обветшал, что постоянно требовал ремонта.
И тогда было решено сломать старую церковь.
На её месте в 1731 году была выстроена новая церковь на средства А. И. Дубровского, тоже деревянная, простоявшая почти сто лет.

В 1851 году князь Волконский на свои средства построил новый каменный храм, сохранившийся до наших дней.

Ныне храм пребывает в полуразрушенном состоянии.
Внутри здания гуляет ветер, а взору предстает печальная картина церковного строения с обшарпанными стенами, пустыми окнами, без куполов и крестов.
За годы советской власти от внутреннего убранства не осталось и следа.

Join a #SolidarityWaveBDS protest this weekend.
Palestinians are continuing to rise up against Israel's brutal, decades-old system of occupation, settler colonialism and apartheid. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have joined youth-led demonstrations across historic Palestine. More than 20,000 people joined a demonstration in Sakhnin in the north of 1948 Palestine/Israel and protests are raging in cities from Gaza to Bethlehem, from Hebron to Jerusalem.
Earlier this week, the Palestinian BDS National Committee called for a wave of actions and protests in solidarity with the Palestinian popular resistance and for action to pressure governments, institutions and corporations to end their role in Israel's crimes.
The response has been incredible. There are more than 60 #SolidarityWaveBDS protests taking place in 17 countries across the world. Visit our website now to find out the details of a protest near you.
Let's make this weekend's mobilisations as big as possible. Let's stand alongside Palestinians and challenge international support for Israeli apartheid.

Bulmershe Leisure Centre topping out
Bulmershe Leisure Centre topping out ceremony
The highest point of the new £14 million Bulmershe Leisure Centre has been completed, with students, councillors and project teams invited to mark the key milestone.
Cllr Parry Batth, executive member for environment and leisure, was among the attendees at the topping out ceremony which took place on 9 July.
Wokingham Borough Council is building a new leisure centre in Woodley on the site of the former one in Woodlands Avenue, which was knocked down last summer.
It will include a six-lane 25-metre swimming pool, a teaching pool with a movable floor, a bigger gym plus a 'live well' (long-term condition) gym, a four-court sports hall, and an additional studio and café. It will benefit the whole community by providing up-to-date, accessible and flexible facilities, as well as preventative health services.
"This is such an exciting milestone in the development process," said Cllr Batth. "I am delighted to have been able to take part in the ceremony, and see so many smiles on the faces of children and young people, who will hugely benefit from this facility."
The building works are progressing well and the new centre is due to open next summer, when it will be run by the council's partner Places Leisure.
In the meantime former Bulmershe users can use facilities at the St Crispin's, Loddon Valley and Carnival Pool, Ryeish Green and Arborfield leisure centres.

The Very Marrow of Our Bones: A Novel
Higdon, Christine
Defiance, faith, and triumph in a heartrending novel about daughters and mothers
On a miserable November day in 1967, two women disappear from a working-class town on the Fraser River. The community is thrown into panic, with talk of drifters and murderous husbands. But no one can find a trace of Bette Parsons or Alice McFee. Even the egg seller, Doris Tenpenny, a woman to whom everyone tells their secrets, hears nothing.
Ten-year-old Lulu Parsons discovers something, though: a milk-stained note her mother, Bette, left for her father on the kitchen table. Wally, it says, I will not live in a tarpaper shack for the rest of my life . . .
Lulu tells no one, and months later she buries the note in the woods. At the age of ten, she starts running — and forgetting — lurching through her unraveled life, using the safety of solitude and detachment until, at fifty, she learns that she is not the only one who carries a secret.
Hopeful, lyrical, comedic, and intriguingly and lovingly told, The Very Marrow of Our Bones explores the isolated landscapes and thorny attachments bred by childhood loss and buried secrets.

"Higdon's debut novel is a finely observed chronicle of two women's lives . . . this novel will appeal to readers more interested in the journey than the destination." — Publishers Weekly
"Canadian librarians in particular will want to pay attention to this debut." — Booklist Online
"Brutal and punishing with occasional grace notes, The Very Marrow of Our Bones is concerned with morbidity — both the human capacity for it and what people make of it when it becomes the raw material of their lives." — Foreword Reviews
"Beautifully crafted debut. A story layered with secrets, masterfully revealed. Higdon is fearless, placing her characters on roads where one misguided turn changes everything. Deep-rooted need to escape, tangled with longing for home, leads to an end that is heartbreaking, hopeful and unforgettable." — Heather Tucker, author of Clay Girl
"The Very Marrow of Our Bones is a wonderfully long rambling novel that struck me right where it counts — the heart . . . I think ECW stands for 'Everyday Continually Wonderful' books." — Owen Sound Sun Times
"I enjoyed it, I was worried, uncomfortable, angry at behaviours while also empathizing." — Book Stalker blog
"It is a captivating novel dealing with loss, secrets, social issues, love, family relationships, interesting character developments...and lots more. I could hardly put it down." — The Prayer Bench
"When I read the novel's final pages – deeply moved, euphoric after infusions of the bittersweet, grounded in earthy reality and also soaring with the knowledge that we humans are capable of ethereal communion – I thought: This is a big novel. . . A novel, a story, and characters that now have a firm place in my memory, spirit, and heart." — Richard Lemm blog
"An ambitious debut novel that will make you cry, cringe, and laugh . . . This small-town drama is jam-packed with revelations and sweet portraits that stick." — Kirkus Reviews
"This wondrous book concerns more than mere detective work, expanding instead on the grander mysteries of love and hate, survival and destruction – and most powerfully, perhaps, of decades-long journeys home." — Toronto Star
"Christine Higdon beautifully and honestly illuminates the devastating impact of loss and abuse. The Very Marrow of Our Bones refuses to sensationalize, treating its characters with empathy and respect. This hopeful story of kept secrets combines the page-turning intrigue of a mystery with the nuance of a literary novel." — Attiya Khan, Co-Director, A Better Man
"The Very Marrow of Our Bones is wise and fiercely tender, full of grief and longing and murky secrets. A beautifully written, marvellously assured debut." — Jessica Westhead, author of Things Not to Do
"Atmospheric and thoughtful, this book is a character study on childhood, attachments, secrets, loss, love, pain, grief and family." — Open Book Post blog
"Should the author choose to write a sequel or parallel novel, I would definitely read it. On an emotional level, this one got into the very marrow of my bones." — Schatje's Shelves blog

Allergan and Molecular Partners Announce Topline Safety Results from MAPLE study of Abicipar pegol
PR Newswire April 2, 2019
The MAPLE study used a modified manufacturing process and demonstrated decreased intraocular inflammation
Previously reported positive Phase 3 results demonstrated the potential for abicipar to be the first anti-VEGF therapy to maintain initial vision gains in all patients on a true fixed 12-week dosing interval
Abicipar BLA submission to the FDA planned for first half of 2019
DUBLIN, April 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Allergan plc, (AGN), a leading global pharmaceutical company and Molecular Partners (MOLN.SW), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a new class of drugs known as DARPin® therapies, today announced topline safety results from MAPLE, a 28 week open-label study which enrolled 123 age-related Neovascular Macular Degeneration (nAMD) patients and evaluated the safety of abicipar produced via a modified manufacturing process. In this single arm study, treatment naïve or prior anti-VEGF treated patients received three monthly 2mg abicipar injections followed by 2mg injections every 8 weeks for up to a total of five injections through week 28.
Allergan plc logo
As a result of the improvements in the manufacturing process, the incidence of intraocular inflammation (IOI) was 8.9 percent in the MAPLE study, which was lower than the rate observed in prior Phase 3 studies. Most IOI events were assessed as mild to moderate in severity. The incidence of severe IOI was 1.6 percent with one reported case of iritis and one reported case of uveitis. There were no reported cases of endophthalmitis or retinal vasculitis in this study.
"It is encouraging to see the lower incidence and type of IOI observed in this open label 28-week study," said Raj Maturi, MD, Midwest Eye Institute & Associate Professor Ophthalmology, Indiana University School of Medicine. "In the Phase 3 trials previously reported, abicipar demonstrated potential that could transform the way physicians manage nAMD with anti-VEGF therapy. Abicipar could be the first fixed 12- week anti-VEGF treatment that improves visual outcomes in a real world setting for a large number of AMD patients."
"The results of this open-label study enabled us to assess improvements to the manufacturing process for abicipar. The safety profile demonstrated in MAPLE gives us confidence to proceed and scale up manufacturing," said David Nicholson, Chief Research and Development Officer, Allergan. "We plan to submit the abicipar BLA and continue to pursue manufacturing process improvements as we develop larger scale studies in additional disease states, such as Diabetic Macular Edema."
"Clinical trial evidence has shown that fixed-interval dosing of anti-VEGF therapies administered either every month or every 8 weeks results in better visual outcomes compared to real world clinical outcomes. Abicipar could potentially be the first anti-VEGF therapy that is administered every 12 weeks with demonstrated maintenance of visual acuity for a large number of patients with nAMD. A fixed-interval Q12-week therapy would greatly reduce the treatment burden for these patients," said Peter Kaiser, MD, Chaney Family Endowed Chair in Ophthalmology Research and Professor of Ophthalmology, Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute.
"Abicipar is our first DARPin® candidate on track for BLA submission with the aim to become the first fixed 12-week anti VEGF drug in all patients with nAMD," commented Michael T. Stumpp, COO of Molecular Partners. He added: "The safety data from the MAPLE trial are an important step in the further improvement of the manufacturing process of abicipar."
Allergan expects to file the abicipar Biologics License Application (BLA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the first half of 2019. Additional data from the MAPLE study will be presented at a scientific conference later in 2019.
About ABICIPAR CEDAR and SEQUOIA PHASE 3 TRIALS
Allergan plc and Molecular Partners previously announced results from two positive Phase 3 clinical trials, CEDAR and SEQUOIA for abicipar, a novel DARPin® therapy for the treatment of nAMD, demonstrating that both the 8-week and 12-week fixed-interval treatment regimens met the pre-specified primary endpoint of non-inferiority to ranibizumab. The primary endpoint measured the proportion of treated patients with stable vision at week 52. In both studies abicipar demonstrated similar efficacy after 6 or 8 injections, compared to 13 ranibizumab injections in the first year of this study.
In the CEDAR study, overall treatment-emergent adverse events were similar among the three treatment arms and reported in 73.7 percent, 81.1 percent and 73.2 percent of patients receiving abicipar Q8, abicipar Q12 and ranibizumab Q4, respectively. Incidence of intraocular inflammation events was similar among the two abicipar treatment groups but higher than the ranibizumab group and reported at 15.1 percent and 15.4 percent of patients in the abicipar Q8 and Q12 arms compared to 0 percent in the ranibizumab Q4.
In the SEQUOIA study, overall treatment-emergent adverse events were similar among the three treatment arms and reported in 78.3 percent, 78.0 percent and 74.0 percent of patients receiving abicipar Q8, abicipar Q12 and ranibizumab Q4, respectively. Incidence of intraocular inflammation events was similar among the two abicipar treatment groups but higher than the ranibizumab group and reported at 15.7 percent and 15.3 percent of patients in the abicipar Q8 and Q12 arms compared to 0.6 percent in the ranibizumab Q4 arm.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch Premiers On Star Wars Day
By Kunal Sharma
If you were among the thousands of Star Wars fans looking forward to last year's Disney Investors Day in December, then you must have been happy with the onslaught of the announced Star Wars projects. After all shows like Cassian Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Book of Boba Fett, Rangers of the New Republic, and more are coming to Disney+.
Of course, what will make you happier is having the release date of one of the announced shows isn't it? Then know that we come bearing good news of one of the most anticipated shows- Star Wars: The Bad Batch.
What Is The Streaming Premiere Date Of Star Wars: The Bad Batch?
The Bad Batch is the newest animated series that's set in the Star Wars universe. It's now been revealed that the show will premier on 4th May on Disney Plus. The release date got announced during the TCA's (Television Critics Association) Winter Press Tour. We also came to know that Marvel's Loki has a June release date.
The Bad Batch is just the 4th animated series set in the Star Wars universe after The Clone Wars. The release date is very special also because it will mark one-year from when The Clone Wars got concluded. Not to mention that May 4th is also Star Wars Day.
What Is The Bad Batch About?
The Bad Batch is actually the continuation of season 7 of The Clone Wars. It fully focuses on a squad full of clone troopers called Clone Force 99. These elite troopers have genetic variations that imbue them with unique skills like exceptional vision, enhanced strength, improved mental aptitude, and more.
So note that The Bad Batch is set right after the Clone Wars ending and also after the Rise of the Empire. Know that the show will consist of the squad trying to navigate a changing galaxy as they keep trying to work as elite mercenaries.
However, the best part is that The Bad Batch will connect with the highly acclaimed The Mandalorian. If that wasn't enough for you, then know that Ming-Na Wen will be reprising her role as Fennec Shand in live-action as well. Dave Filoni will helm the production. Will there be more connections with the rest of the Star Wars universe? We are certainly hoping that there will be more that gets revealed.

Spider Mites, Volume 1B (Hardcover)
Bozzano G Luisa
This two-part volume with contributions from more than 50 international specialists, provides an up-to-date text and brings together facts and views of acarologists specialized in various aspects of the biology of spider mites. The need for such a treatment of scientific progress and recommended topics for future research exists among students, commencing in the study of acarology and plant protection, as well as among those engaged in acarological research and teaching. Both books will serve to provide a synthesis of much of the knowledge on basic and applied aspects of the biology of spider mites and their natural enemies; stimulate students to analyse critically the views propounded by the authors of the book, and instigate research into environmentally safe and cost effective means of pest control.
Aphids, Volume 2C (Hardcover)
In spite of the extensive attention given by research workers to aphids no comprehensive review has been published covering all aspects of aphid biology. A few small books exist on certain aspects of nomenclature, ecology, physiology and natural enemies. Aphid biology is studied by many specialists, all representing their own area of interest, therefore the only way to present this comprehensive review is by the multi-author approach. This three-volume work is compiled in a similar way to the first books in the series World Crop Pests: Spider Mites. The volumes contain contributions by more than 40 authors. In this first volume an account is given on morphology and systematics, anatomy, genetics, life cycles, ways of life, reproduction and polymorphism and interaction with the environment. These topics are followed by an in-depth study of evolution of aphids, especially in connection with the evolution of plants. In addition processes governing the development of population structure and speciation are elicited.

Soilborne Microbial Plant Pathogens and Disease Management, Volume One - Nature and Biology (Hardcover)
P. Narayanasamy
Soilborne microbial plant pathogens including oomycetes, fungi, bacteria and viruses cause several economically important destructive diseases and the symptoms of infection can be recognized only after the pathogen has invaded many tissues primarily vascular tissues of susceptible plants. This condition places formidable challenges in investigating different aspects of host-microbial pathogen interactions. Early detection of infection and precise identification, differentiation, and quantification of the microbial plant pathogens in plants, soil and water sources are essential requirements for development of effective tactics to reduce the incidence and spread of the diseases caused by them. As the microbial plant pathogens differ in their virulence and sensitivity to the environment and chemicals applied, it is imperative to assess the extent of variability in the concerned pathogens. This first volume of a two-volume set introduces disease-causing microorganisms including oomycetes, fungi, bacteria, and viruses found in soils. It focuses on the biology, detection, and identification of soilborne bacterial, fungal, and viral plant pathogens. This volume discusses various techniques based on biological, immunological and genetic properties of the pathogens indicating their advantages and limitations for selecting the appropriate technique to fulfill the requirements. Features: Presents techniques useful for detection, identification, quantification of microbial plant pathogens in plants, soil, and irrigation water from waterbodies. Highlights subversive activities of viruses, resulting in the breakdown of host defense systems. Discusses RNA silencing in infected plants by viruses and posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS) functioning as an endogenous mechanism in plants against virus infection. Presents information on methods of assessment of genetic variability and sensitivity of microbial plant pathogens to chemicals and adverse environmental conditions.
Soilborne Microbial Plant Pathogens and Disease Management, Volume Two - Management of Crop Diseases (Hardcover)
Crop disease management strategies revolve around the principles of exclusion, eradication and immunization. Cultural practices are aimed at preventing or reducing the accumulation of pathogen population (inoculum). Development of cultivars with genetic resistance by transgressing resistance gene(s) through traditional breeding procedures or biotechnological techniques is the most effective and acceptable strategy, as it is environment-friendly and does not need any additional cost to the grower. Assessment of different grades of resistance of cultivars or genotypes to soilborne microbial pathogens has been possible by quantifying pathogen populations or their DNA contents in the test plants by applying biological and molecular methods. This second volume of a two-volume set focuses on the soilborne microbial plant pathogens and the diseases caused by them. The book provides information on ecology and epidemiology of soilborne microbial plant pathogens and various strategies applicable for effective management of diseases. Chapters cover exclusion and prevention strategies; improvement of host plant resistance; biological management; application of chemicals; and integration of these disease management strategies. Features Discusses various aspects of soilborne microbial plant pathogens to develop effective methods of managing diseases. Presents information on epidemiology and ecology of soilborne microbial plant pathogens. Facilitates the application of management strategies alone or in combination with others for effective suppression of disease development. Features information on application of biotic and abiotic biological control agents (BCAs) to suppress pathogen development either by directly acting on the pathogen(s) or indirectly by enhancing host resistance to the pathogens. Employs biotic and abiotic biocontrol agents either to replace or reduce the use of chemicals is an achievable approach for managing the soilborne microbial pathogens.

It focuses on the biology, detection, and identification of soilborne bacterial, fungal, and viral plant pathogens. Volume two provides information on ecology and epidemiology of soilborne microbial plant pathogens and strategies applicable to manage diseases. Chapters cover exclusion and prevention strategies; improvement of host plant resistance; biological management; application of chemicals; and integration of disease management strategies.
Tapestry Lawns - Freed from Grass and Full of Flowers (Hardcover)
Swathes of the human world are covered in ornamental grass lawns; they are the single most commonly encountered horticultural feature on the planet. Unfortunately, they are now often viewed as resource-draining green deserts due to the lack of plant and animal diversity, the need for frequent mowing and watering, and addition of lawn greening products to keep them looking at their best. It is a venerable horticultural feature that is essentially frozen in time, and with few alternatives to whet the appetite, the lawn has languished in its current grass-only format for decades. Until now. Tapestry lawns are a new, practically researched and timely development of the ornamental lawn format that integrates both horticultural practice and ecological science and re-determines the potential of a lawn. Mown barely a handful of times a year and with no need for fertilisers or scarifying, tapestry lawns are substantially richer in their diversity of plant and animal life compared to traditional grass-only lawns and see the return of flowers and colour to a format from which they are usually purposefully excluded. Tapestry Lawns: Freed from Grass and Full of Flowers traces the changes in the lawn format from its origins to the modern day and offers information on how and why the tapestry lawn construct is now achievable. It provides guidance on how to create and maintain a tapestry lawn of your own and champions the potential benefits for wildlife that can follow. Features Accessible and informative to all types of readers from academic to amateur Includes a refined and tested set of useful tapestry lawn plants Contains step-by-step instructions for creation and management methods of grass-free lawns Illustrated in full colour If you have ever thought about mowing your lawn much less, making it much more colourful and wildlife friendly, then this book will inform and guide you to create a perfect, grass-free lawn.
The Ecology of Malaria Vectors (Hardcover)
Jacques Derek Charlwood
This practical book covers all aspects of the biology of malaria vectors, with notes on the vectors of dengue. It is the first work in this field to concentrate on mosquitoes, rather than covering all disease vectors. Authored by renowned field entomologist Jacques Derek Charlwood, it disseminates his vast experience working on mosquito biology, ecology and the evaluation of new vector control tools across five continents over the past 40 years. Covering all aspects from classification and systematics, population dynamics, vector control, to surveillance and sampling, epidemics, and a selection of case histories, the book also considers genetics and resistance, Aedes biology, and malaria and dengue models. It is designed to fill the gap between very specialized texts and undergraduate books on general disease vectors, and is ideal as a textbook for postgraduate courses in entomology and mosquito vectors of disease.
Temperature Sensitivity In Insects And Application In Integrated Pest Management (Hardcover)
Guy J. Hallman, David L. Denlinger
This book focuses on an array of integrated pest management tools (IPM) that exploit extreme temperatures, examining the biological basis for using temperature extremes in controlling insects and presenting practical IPM techniques that rely on temperature.
Thrips Biology and Management (Hardcover, 1995 ed.)
Bruce L. Parker, Margaret Skinner, Trevor Lewis
Thrips (fhysanoptera) are very small insects, widespread throughout the world with a preponderance of tropical species, many temperate ones, and even a few living in arctic regions. Of the approximately 5,000 species so far identified, only a few hundred are crop pests, causing serious damage or transmitting diseases to growing crops and harvestable produce in most countries. Their fringed wings confer a natural ability to disperse widely, blown by the wind. Their minute size and cryptic behavior make them difficult to detect either in the field or in fresh vegetation transported during international trade of vegetables, fruit and ornamental flowers. Many species have now spread from their original natural habitats and hosts to favorable new environments where they often reproduce rapidly to develop intense damaging infestations that are costly to control. Over the past decade there have been several spectacular examples of this. The western flower thrips has expanded its range from the North American continent to Europe, Australia and South Africa. Thrips palmi has spread from its presumed origin, the island of Sumatra, to the coast of Florida, and threatens to extend its distribution throughout North and South America. Pear thrips, a known orchard pest of Europe and the western United States and Canada has recently become a major defoliator of hardwood trees in Vermont and the neighboring states. Local outbreaks of other species are also becoming problems in field and glasshouse crops as the effectiveness of insecticides against them decline.
Advances in Microbial Control of Insect Pests (Hardcover, Harper Trophy)
Rajeev K. Upadhyay
The insect 1 remain in symbiotic associations with a tremendous number of microorganisms, and some of them could be classified as parasitic/pathogenic. Without question, insect pathogens act as natural mortality agents and represent the third leg of the triad of biological control which is an environmentally sound alternative to chemical control. The virulence and pathogenicity of an insect parasite i. e. disease agent are determined by the microbial genome as a result of the coordinated expression of a concert of genes. These genes may be organized as cassettes and be associated with transmissible DNA. The acquisition of these domains or pathogenicity islands, may be sufficient to develop a transgenic virulent pathogen. The insect pathogens are very specific and this property can be exploited in making insects sick. However, rarely have field applications of highly virulent strains of viruses, fungi, bacteria, protozoa resulted in massive insect population reductions or induced widespread, persistent epizootics as the same is also governed by host susceptibility regulated by genetics, age, sex and physiological state of the host. Insect pathogens causing acute or chronic diseases must be able to persist in the environment, to multiply in the host, and to spread to other susceptible hosts. In this book, I have attempted to bring together all recent studies regarding both fundamental and more applied research aspects related to entomopathogens, bacteria, viruses, fungi and nematodes in order to facilitate their development and commercial exploitation.
Diseases of Field Crops and their Management (Hardcover)
S. Parthasarathy, G. Thiribhuvanamala, K. Prabakar

Plant Disease Control: Towards Environmentally Acceptable Methods (Hardcover, 1993 ed.)
Richard N. Strange
Plant disease is one of the greatest causes of economic losses of crops throughout the world. Every year, billions of dollars are spent on chemical control measures, but there is an increasing awareness that alternatives to these chemical control measures may be becoming more viable. This work explores the international impact of plant disease on man and how this is measured and diagnosed, discusses epidemiology and the genetics of host-parasite relations and looks at the range of defensive tactics currently available and those under development, in particular those which are more environmentally acceptable than many in widespread use now.
Insect Pheromones and their Use in Pest Management (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1998)
P. Howse, J.M. Stevens, Owen T. Jones
There is now a considerable literature on chemical ecology, which had its beginnings in the study of insect pheromones. This beginning was possible only by combining the disciplines and techniques of biology and chemistry. For a biologist, it is difficult to understand the time frames of analytical and synthetic chemistry. A compound may take days to characterize and be available in minutes from a bottle on the shelf, or it may take years to characterize and synthesize. Chemists have a similar frustration: after an intense programme of work, the insect in question may not emerge for many months. study are, however, The rewards of integrated interdisciplinary considerable, because they allow us to understand many facets of insect behaviour and consequently to control that behaviour for our own ends. In this book, we have set out to explain the results of research from chemical and biological perspectives, and see how the knowledge gained has led to novel techniques that can be used in insect pest management and insect control. An important part of understanding insect chemical ecology involves the understanding not only of new concepts but of the vocabularies used by scientists specializing in different fields. It will be clear that the three sections of this book have been written by three different people: an insect behaviourist, an organic chemist and a biologist in industry."
Insect Pheromones and their Use in Pest Management (Hardcover, 1998 ed.)
Virus and Virus-like Diseases of Major Crops in Developing Countries (Hardcover, 2003 ed.)
Gad Loebenstein, George Thottappilly
It appears that a comprehensive and up-to-date book on the impact of virus diseases on the major crops in developing countries is now much needed, especially as there have been rapid advances in the biological and molecular characterization and detection of the pathogens and possible approaches for their control. On the other hand, the economic losses caused by many of these diseases are tremendous and much of the accumulated knowledge to diminish the crop losses has not filtered through, or cannot be applied.
This book is focused on the important crops. Each chapter on a specific crop will include inter alia, geographical distribution, the viruses - symptoms, damage, detection - a brief description of the viruses concerned, and present and future ways for their control. Experts from India, Nigeria, UK, USA, France, Germany, Peru, Japan, Australia, Netherlands, Venezuela, Kazakhstan and Israel (many of them from the International Research Institutions) have contributed chapters to this book.
Weed Biology and Management (Hardcover, 2004 ed.)
Inderjit
Weeds hold an enigmatic and sometimes-controversial place in agriculture, where they are generally reviled, grudgingly tolerated, and occasionally admired. In most cases, growers make considerable effort to reduce the negative economic impact of weeds because they compete with crops for resources and hinder field operations, thereby affecting crop productivity and quality, and ultimately the sustainability of agriculture. Weed control in production agriculture is commonly achieved through the integration of chemical, biological, and mechanical management methods. Chemicals (herbicides) usually inhibit the growth and establishment of weed plants by interfering with various physiological and biochemical pathways. Biological methods include crop competition, smother crops, rotation crops, and allelopathy, as well as specific insect predators and plant pathogens. Mechanical methods encompass an array of tools from short handled hoes to sophisticated video-guided robotic machines. Integrating these technologies, in order to relieve the negative impacts of weeds on crop production in a way that allows growers to optimize profits and preserve human health and the environment, is the science of weed management.
Diseases of Fruits and Vegetables - Diagnosis and Management (Book, 2004 ed.)
S.A.M.H. Naqvi
Among horticultural crops, fruits and vegetables are of primary importance for an adequate and balanced human diet. In certain parts of the world, fruits and vegetables are the major dietary staple. Apart from being a rich source of vitamins and minerals, the production of fruits and vegetables also contributes significantly to regional and national economies through national and international trade. However, the cultivation of these crops for optimum yield and quality is highly technical and needs improved technological support. Management of perennial fruit crops requires further close monitoring especially for the management of diseases which affect production and subsequent post-harvest losses significantly.
During the twentieth century, plant pathology has witnessed a dramatic advance in management of fruit and vegetable diseases through in-depth investigations of host-pathogen interactions, development of molecular diagnostic tools, integration of new concepts, principles and approaches. The new millennium promises excitement and hope for the future by new advances in eco-friendly technologies in integrated disease management of fruits and vegetables.
This book contains a comprehensive overview of current practice in diagnosis and management of diseases of fruits and vegetables. It includes the latest diagnostic tools and management strategies of almost all the important temperate, tropical and subtropical fruits and vegetables. For each individual crop various aspects of diseases such as the diagnosis, forecast, elimination of diseases and integrated management at nursery, orchard and post-harvest stage are discussed by leading plant pathologists. The diseases of economic importance caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses and virus-like organisms and nematodes of each crop are covered, describing their history, distribution, losses incurred, symptoms, diagnostic tools, epidemiology and integrated applied management approaches including cultural, chemical, genetic resources and the use of bio-control agents. Each chapter is vividly illustrated with photographs of typical symptoms, graphs, tables and line drawings to make the subject more interesting and easy to understand for students, scientists, planners, administrators, growers and other end users.
Volume I covers diseases of fruits including apple, citrus, grapes, mango and pineapple and of vegetables such as carrot, celery and cucurbits, with special reference to integrated disease management practices.
Volume II covers diseases of fruits including avocado, banana, grapes, guava, papaya, passion fruit, strawberry, stone fruits and minor tropical and subtropical fruits. Vegetables such as lettuce, pea, pepper, potato, onion and garlic have been included in this volume besides the role of mycorrhiza and biocontrol agents in disease management.

You state one case, may I remind you that it was, I believe last year, that a load of logs rolled off a logging truck on Hwy 1 around Chilliwack crushing 2 cars to say nothing of the occupants. Your much vaunted rules and regulations were where then? Have you been in Vancouver and seen the equipment running in that area? Perhaps instead of campaining against Alberta you could convince your own province to drastically improve your roads, say the trans canada highway? Would this be too much to ask? Or have you not traveled this route? I would further suggest that if you feel this strongly you stay out of Alberta and all the dangers you see here. Having held a licence in both Provinces and driven many miles on both thier roads I do not see your argument as valid.

As consumer behavior changes it is increasingly important for marketers to keep up with digital trends. There many opportunities to engage with image search to expand your brand's experience.
Search engines and AI enabled devices are already increasing even more focus on image search and recognition.

In the most comprehensive book of its kind, I provide a thorough overview of how just about anyone can benefit from an intentional, structured microdosing protocol.
The three essentials to beginning a microdosing regimen, including why calibration and intention are critical in doing it right the first time.
What we know, so far, about the science behind microdosing and why it has a beneficial impact for a variety of purposes.
Depending on the purpose of microdosing, what substance you should take and how often to consume it. These are what we call 'protocols' and paying attention to your specific protocol has a significant impact on.
This is a fantastic book! EVERYTHING you need to know about micro-dosing is covered. You can tell the author is super knowledgeable and passionate about his subject..
A comprehensive, well written guide covering the history and science as well as a how-to guide to establish your own microdosing protocol.
Paul is one of the best sources on microdosing out there today. This guide is a cohesive and complete resource on the subject matter. His story is relatable and interesting. The research, background, and science presented is incredibly useful. I can't recommend this book more!
People microdose psychedelics for many reasons, including an inability to reach peak performance, lack of focus, and feeling stuck when it comes to generating new ideas.
As of late, everyone is talking about peak performance. But how do you actually reach it?
Living in an age of distraction leads to a serious lack of focus. People find microdosing helps them to get back on track and stay focused on the task at hand.
Creativity is a fickle beast. When microdosing consistently, people find it much easier to generate new, innovative ideas.
This is a fantastic book! EVERYTHING you need to know about micro-dosing is covered. You can tell the author is super knowledgeable and passionate about his subject.
I'm a social entrepreneur who educates individuals about the responsible and intentional use of psychedelics to catalyze personal transformation. My why is to inspire Western culture's adoption of microdosing as an entry-point to collective transformation.
Because of my Why, I've founded two companies in the emerging psychedelic space: The Third Wave and Synthesis. My objective in starting both of these companies was to create accessible touch points for the intentional, responsible use of psychedelics by mainstream culture.
Currently, The Third Wave is the definitive website on psychedelic literacy and education, attracting over 650K people every month. We have been featured in various mainstream media outlets, including the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Forbes, and the Economist.
Synthesis, the psilocybin retreat center I co-founded in early 2018, has facilitated high dose experiences for hundreds of individuals. For many of our clients, attending Synthesis is the most profound experience of their lives. They report incredible shifts in their personal well-being and professional ambitions from one high-dose psilocybin experience.
Due to the success of these organizations in resonating with mainstream culture, I've spoken at a number of tech and business conferences, including The Next Web, SXSW, and Tech Open Air. Typically, I speak about the intersection of psychedelics, personal transformation, and professional success.
