Let's face it for the last decade it's been pretty fun to be in the cow-calf business, says Tom Field, Colorado State University professor of beef cattle systems. Despite rising input costs, competition for resources and tenuous government policy, Field isn't ready to wave the flag of defeat. Instead, he says now is the time for cattlemen to be rational and consider the new marketplace realities.
Let's face it — for the last decade it's been pretty fun to be in the cow-calf business, says Tom Field, Colorado State University professor of beef cattle systems. Despite rising input costs, competition for resources and tenuous government policy, Field isn't ready to wave the flag of defeat.
Field points to seven key areas.
"Our own environmental and economic policies have forced fuel prices to their current level," Field says. As a nation, we need to discuss taxation and possible fuel rebates for truckers, farmers and other economic-use areas.
He cites a report indicating that the only way to make a biodiesel system work today is within a subsidized system, with the product shipped to Europe for sale in a subsidized market. Bottom line, Field says, we need a sped-up timeline on phasing out all subsidies for ethanol production in the U.S. "If it can't stand on its own, then we shouldn't be doing it," he says.
"We're in a global marketplace. It's not so much that supply went bad, but demand went way up," Field says. This is a result of China and India joining the global economy and creating a burgeoning middle class. "This is not going to go away," he says; we need to learn to deal with it.
"If we get into a serious economic crisis, yes, the price of food is going to have some impact, but the demand for our product is going to be good." He reasons that cattlemen are producing their best product ever, with more options for the marketplace and more value to low-end cuts.
"We are providing a healthier, more nutritious product than we've ever produced," he says, but demand growth is going to be dependent on access to international markets.
"We must not turn away from our opportunity to be the world's best provider of high-quality beef," Field says, noting there will be regional and local markets for limit-fed energy diet beef and grass-fed beef. But that's not where the U.S. will play competitively in the long run.
This is a key in not only growing beef demand, but creating the demand signal to stabilize and potentially grow the U.S. cowherd. In the short run, a shrinking cowherd has sustained prices for cow-calf producers, Field says, but there's a balance where infrastructure shrinks to the point where it's difficult to keep pace with demand. Field believes access to international markets is the signal that keeps the U.S. cowherd at a stable-to-rising level.
With input costs increasing, Field believes producer innovation will help minimize the impact of higher costs. It's a record of innovation that's historically been aided by a national network of agricultural research and development centers, which Field says is facing consolidation.
"I don't believe anybody is going to pour more resources into the existing (ag research) infrastructure. As an industry, we need to figure out how to consolidate, realign and restructure our existing resources for maximum benefit." This is both at the federal and land-grant university level, he adds.
"How do we align our feeding and beef-packing infrastructure with product demand and the available supply of cattle out there?" Field asks. He estimates there is 15% overcapacity in beef packing and 20% in feeding. That indicates some shrinkage is necessary, but how is that accomplished in the right way?
Nationally, the shrinking of infrastructure is good, but on a regional basis the effects can be devastating. Field points to what happened in the Midwest during the 1980s with the closing of midsize packing facilities and feedyards. "When we shrink infrastructure in a region, it's really hard to build it back." Shrinking infrastructure the right way, in Field's opinion, is incremental and not within the same region.
Field, who ranches with his family, is optimistic; the ranch is not for sale. "We think the long-term is still good enough that we're not in panic mode by any stretch of the imagination," he says. That being said, they are considering consolidating some operations. Unable to find affordable fertilizer this spring for pastures, they expect less hay production and a cutback in their herd size come fall.
It's a scenario Field believes many producers face — looking at their enterprise mix and trying to find the best combination of time, talent and resources.
Field predicts there will also be more focus on risk management. At the cow-calf level, that primarily entails an analysis of the enterprise mix, trying to lock in input costs and contracting the sale of cattle. It will also push consolidation of the U.S. cowherd.
Expect the stocker sector to gain more importance, he says, as the industry strives to mitigate higher input costs by more forage feeding to achieve heavier feedyard in-weights. Feedlots can expect more innovative cattle partnering, as well.
"We can't underestimate the weak U.S. dollar in this whole mess, including oil," Field says. "A weak dollar tends to be very stimulatory to exports," which strengthens the position of U.S. products in the international marketplace. Low interest rates, on the other hand, will make retained-ownership ventures more attractive.
We've figured out that we have to balance environmental, economic and trade policy in a way that yields the best possible outcome, where we optimize, as opposed to maximize or minimize, any one area of our policy.
We have a nation of citizens who want a rational government. This creates a better environment for business, including rural business.
We have amazing technology available to us, and a very bright and talented human resource that knows the next few years will be tough, but it will strengthen us.
Strong demand for our product will continue and strengthen in international markets. But we must become effective negotiators in a global economy.
We won't forget the lessons we're learning from oil. Our nation can't afford to be dependent on someone else for food.
We need to get back to the notion of self-reliance, and building strong families and communities.
We'll always be an industry that faces risk from weather, costs and government policy, but we're innovative and resourceful enough to sort it out.


I am pretty sure that most of us (home brewers) love hearing somebody say this beer is fantastic, as good as you would get in a pub if not better! I know I do! It is not just a great recipe that makes a great beer, it's also how it presents, and one way to make it look great is to filter your brew after fermentation finishes.
There are a few ways to do this. If you keg, we recommend using a cartridge filter. You can gravity filter or force filter, but for both options you need a filter kit which consists of a filter cartridge holder, a filter and a couple of metres of tubing (if you are keg-to-keg filtering, a couple of liquid disconnects are needed too).
Gravity Filtering does take a fair bit of time, all you do is get your fermenter up high attach the filter to your tap and let it drain into a keg.
Keg-to-Keg Filtering only takes five minutes and is simple. Just empty your fermenter into a keg (or kegs) then connect a keg with your beer in it to the filter's input hose, and the empty keg to the output hose. Then connect your gas on about 5 psi to the full keg. Turn on the gas which will push the beer through the filter into the empty keg.
It really is that simple to get a clear beer so if you want to know more and how to get started, contact us(HYPERLINK) or Come In and we will help you today!

I also TRIED to use the catalog spec Suzuki PN 59340-14500, EMGO PN 90-71970, EBC PN FA106. They DO NOT fit. You can use one new pad, one old pad and make them work, adding the second new pad after the first has worn down by 50 percent.
Why don't the EBC 106X pads fit your bike? Did you completely collapse the caliper before you installed them? They are the ones that I installed on our bikes....I have the picture of the brake package.
Not sure why they didn't fit, but they didn't. Too thick for the most part. My guess is the shop mislabeled them... ???
It is always necessary to compress the caliper piston for new pads. Sometimes, even before you can get it off of the rotor. I use a C-clamp.
Here's the front brake pads.
At full piston retraction, the pads are too thick. The EBC and Suzuki versions most likely fit perfectly. I picked up the Emgo set, which was all I had at the shop. The Emgo front brake pads are too thick.
Good general info for anyone buying some without disconnecting the original.
fuel line is 5/16", vacuum is 3/16"
Well duh... I tried to post here but too much info.
Listed for reference only, not recommended to use.
That brake pad is available in 3 different thicknesses. You need the thinnest one for it to fit correctly unless your rotor is way out of spec.
Hey guys I did some research and tracked down a header gasket from autozone. It is a Felpro # 60720. No excuses for head pipe leaks now.
This may have been posted before,but the cam chain for the 1990-2005 Kawasaki ZX600 is the same chain,but about 20 to 40 dollars less,depending on where you look.
The manufacturer number is 82RH2015-132 link.
The Kawasaki part number is 92057-1297.
I found that the Kawasaki ZX600 D and E versions (not the C or A) use the same chain and the ZZR500 and all Aprillia 650s, unfortunately, these bikes are as rare as hen's teeth in Brazil so parts would be very expensive.
Not confirmed, but worth looking into.
KN-137, available from O'Reilly Auto Parts. If not in stock, they can usually get one in overnight. About $10.
KN-137 also available from Amazon as an "add-on" item (you have to order $25 or more). Price: $5.17 each.
Prices as of 30 Oct 2016, filter only, no O-rings.

Russia, Ukraine agree interim gas deal: EU energy chief
AFP, Friday 26 Sep 2014
Russia is ready to resume gas deliveries to Ukraine if Kiev pays its energy giant Gazprom back debts worth $3.1 billion (2.4 billion euros) by late December, European Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said Friday.
According to the interim agreement, which has to be approved by the governments in Moscow and Kiev, Gazprom is ready to deliver at least five billion cubic metres of gas in the coming months, Oettinger said after he met with both energy ministers in Berlin.
Gazprom will also want advance payments for the new gas at $385 per 1,000 cubic metres -- less than the 485 dollars that Gazprom had earlier demanded but more than the price of around $268 it had charged before the change of government in Ukraine.
"We have developed a workable design for a winter package" of measures, Oettinger told a press conference.
Another meeting was planned for late next week in Berlin to endorse the preliminary agreement, the outgoing EU energy commissioner said.
Oettinger had met Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak and his Ukrainian counterpart Yuriy Prodan in the German capital to try to find a solution to the gas standoff, which in mid-June saw Russia stop deliveries to Ukraine, a major transit country for gas to Europe.
"We negotiated a plan today for the winter with several points" which should allow Ukraine and all European countries that depend on gas transit through that country not to run out of gas for the next six months, he said.
Oettinger called the agreement an "interim solution to ensure supplies until spring".
Novak told the press conference that "we prepared a plan for the winter that can serve as a basis for solving the problems".
Ukraine's Prodan said that "unfortunately we have not been able to arrive at a complete solution".
Under the deal, Kiev would pay Gazprom $2.0 billion in debts by the end of October and another $1.1 billion between early November and late December.
The $3.1 billion are what Ukraine considers its debt to Gazprom. The Russian energy giant has however demanded 5.3 billion.
An arbitration court in Stockholm is due to decide on the case in coming months, and on whether Ukraine will have to pay the difference.

A revolutionary new wheelchair designed and manufactured in Denbigh is set to improve the lives of disabled people who need to go off-road.
Manufactured by Off-Road Engineering Limited, the 'HexHog' has been designed to bring together the functional attributes of a wheelchair and an all terrain vehicle (ATV).
It features a flexible chassis, which keeps all six wheels in contact with the ground - even on the most rugged of terrain.
From a farming family, engineer Sion Pierce came up with the idea when studying engineering at Harper Adams University and hearing about a disabled farmer who couldn't access all of his land safely.
He has now secured a £25,000 loan from the Development Bank of Wales as working capital to meet order requirements from all over Europe.
Sion Pierce, of Denbigh, said: "Other wheelchairs dubbed 'all-terrain' are suitable for flat or muddy surfaces but struggle with the rugged countryside terrain.
With a flexible chassis with 20- inch diameter and six-inch wide wheels, the durable design and quality build means that the all-terrain chair will endure mud, water, sandy beaches, snow or ice.
It has a UK and USA patent for a unique mobility vehicle, is powered by lithium-ion battery and has a top speed of 9mph (15kph).

Arturo Fontaine: «Bicameralism has saved the Museum of Memory and Human Rights»
The novelist and member of the board of the Museum of Memory and Human Rights, Arturo Fontaine, addressed the replacement of the budget by the Senate of the venue dedicated to commemorating the victims of the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, which the Chamber of Deputies had refused.
"That the Museum of Memory is in danger is a sign that democracy is in danger. But the Senate has shown more democratic responsibility than the majority of the Chamber," said the academic from the School of Liberal Arts of the Adolfo University Ibáñez and the Department of Philosophy of the University of Chile.
Fontaine pointed out that in various parts of the world "authoritarian and populist outbreaks arise that come to power through the ballot box and undermine democracy from within, respecting, if at all, its forms." In his opinion, this is the case of Putin in Russia, Chávez in Venezuela, Orbán in Hungary, Kaczinsky in Poland, Erdogan in Turkey, and Bukele in El Salvador. In all the countries indicated, for the writer, the political system is unicameral or the second chamber is not relevant.
"In Chile, bicameralism has saved the Museum of Memory and Human Rights. And in doing so, it has made a powerful contribution to Chile's democratic culture. Because to believe that populist-authoritarianism could not be unleashed here is a serious mistake" he added.
The author of "La vida doble" —which deals with a woman tortured during the Pinochet dictatorship who later became an implacable agent of the repressive apparatus— acknowledges that, by the way, "one can object to this or that to the Museum of Memory." But what is certain, in his opinion, is that "anyone who walks it in good faith sees what happens when democracy is lost."
"This journey, this awareness, becomes more important as the majority of the population ceases to have had a personal and direct experience of what life is like under a dictatorship," concluded Fontaine, who has defended the Museum of Memory in the face of criticism from the right, which considered it divisive and partial.

Background Optimal extent of surgery remains controversial in types 2 and
Background Optimal extent of surgery remains controversial in types 2 and 3 adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG). survival rates were 62.6, 82.5, and 84.6%, respectively. Subgroup analysis exposed that in early cancers, there was no difference in survival between the organizations (93.2 vs. 96.7 vs. 98.7%) but in advanced cancers, there was a difference (47.9 vs. 75.4 vs. 71.8%, test was used to compare 470-17-7 IC50 age, tumor size, and number of metastatic and harvested lymph nodes according to tumor location. Disease-free survival rate was determined from the Kaplan-Meier method, and a multivariable Cox regression model was used to identify independent prognostic factors. Statistical significance was arranged at P?<?0.05. Results Clinicopathologic findings of individuals During the period, a total of 672 individuals with 470-17-7 IC50 Siewert types 2 and 3 AEG and top third of belly cancer were analyzed. Their median age at operation was 60?years and, of them, 488 were males and 184 were ladies. Types 2 and 3 AEG and top third cancers were found in 90, 211, and 371 instances. The median tumor size was 4.7?cm. Three hundred ninety-five instances (58.8%) were advanced cancers. Histologically, 402 instances (59.8%) had undifferentiated histology, and the intestinal type in Laurens classification was the most dominant. The median number of harvested lymph nodes was 28 and stage 1 tumors were the greatest followed by phases 2 and 3. The median length of the proximal resection margin was 2.0?cm. Lymphovascular invasion and perineural invasion were recognized in 30.8 and 26.0%, of the tumors, respectively. About half of the individuals received adjuvant chemotherapy. The results are summarized in Table?1. Table 1 Clinicopathologic characteristics of individuals with adenocarcinoma of the EGJ and the top third of the belly Assessment of clinicopathologic factors according to tumor location Compared to top third malignancy, AEG showed seniors predominance, deeper invasion, and Borrmann type 2 or 3 3 on gross appearance. It was also strongly associated with differentiated tumor, intestinal type, and shorter proximal resection margin. Sex, tumor size, number of metastatic and harvested lymph nodes, and presence of lymphovascular and perineural invasion did not differ according to tumor location (Table?2). Table 2 Comparison of clinicopathologic factors according to tumor location in patients with adenocarcinoma of the EGJ and the upper third of the belly Comparison of prognostic factors and disease-free survival according to tumor location A univariate analysis in both Rabbit Polyclonal to TUT1 AEG and upper third adenocarcinoma revealed that T stage, N stage, and presence of lymphovascular and perineural invasion were significantly associated with disease-free survival. However, in a multivariable analysis, only T stage, N stage, and lymphovascular invasion remained prognostic factors (Additional file 1: Table S1). Recurrences were observed in 33 (36.7%), 34 (16.1%), and 60 (16.1%) cases of types 2 and 3 and upper third malignancy, respectively. Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted to evaluate differences in disease-free survival according to tumor location. Type 2 AEG experienced a lower survival rate than type 3 tumors and those in the upper third of the belly (P?<?0.001). The 5-12 months disease-free survival rates in Siewert types 2 and 3 and upper third cancers were 62.6, 82.5, and 84.6%, respectively (Additional file 2: Determine S1). When disease-free survival was analyzed by depth of invasion, there were no differences in survival based on tumor location among early cancers (93.2 vs. 96.7 vs. 98.7%, P?=?0.158). However, among advanced ones, there was statistically significant difference in survival (47.9 vs. 75.4 vs. 71.8%, P?<?0.001) (Fig.?1). We also analyzed the survival according to stage based on the AJCC staging manual 7th edition. In stage 1, there were again no differences in survival (97.5 vs. 98.7 vs. 98.3%, P?=?0.825). However, in stage 2, type 2 AEG experienced a lower survival rate than the other two groups (41.9 vs. 92.1 vs. 83.0%, P?<?0.001). In stage 3, type 2 AEG appeared to have a worse prognosis but the effect was not statistically significant (32.8 vs. 48.9 vs. 45.2%, P?=?0.132) (Fig.?2). Fig. 1 Disease-free survival curves in patients with adenocarcinoma of the EGJ and upper third of the belly divided into early and advanced cancers Fig. 2 Disease-free survival curves in patients with adenocarcinoma of the EGJ and upper third of the belly according to TNM stage Comparison of recurrence patterns according to tumor location Distant metastasis including peritoneal seeding, paraaortic lymph node metastasis, and hematogenous spread was the most common routes of recurrence in all three forms of cancers. However, type 2 and 3 AEGs experienced a higher incidence of locoregional recurrence than those in the upper third (P?=?0.006). On the other hand, relapse at a distant site was more frequent in the tumors of the upper third 470-17-7 IC50 of the belly (Table?3). In type 2 and 3 AEGs, the most common locoregional recurrence sites were in the vicinity of esophagojejunostomy site (27.3 and 14.7% of all recurrences, respectively).

Click play to find out local efforts to reduce lead poisoning in homes.
By: Tamar Turner SYRACUSE, N.Y. (NCC News) – The Onondaga County Health Department offers many resources to ensure it is keeping the community out of harm's way.
One of these resources is a Lead Poisoning Control Program that was implemented more than 30 years ago. Its main goal is to educate homeowners about the risks of lead exposure so they can prevent the recurring problem.
Ann Barnett, Public Health Educator of the program says that 92% of homes in Syracuse were built before 1978, the year lead was banned.
"One major misconception is when we tell a family their child has a high lead level, they don't understand where it's coming from," said Barnett.
Lead mainly poisons young children because of how quickly it can attack their organs when ingested. It can come from a variety of items from imported spices to cosmetics, but is mainly found in old paint and dust.
"Our whole focus now is to be preventative and get these homes inspected," said Barnett.
Eight years ago the department adopted a pilot program called "Primary Prevention" which with resident's permission allows them to go inside the home to be able to do lead testing. The targeted homes must fall under certain criteria, such as having chipped paint ora child living there.
Barnett said the program works with doctors and consultants to make sure that no child "slips through the cracks." They not only test the children and homes, but have follow up appointments and bi-weekly check-ins to make sure lead is no longer a problem.
New York York State Public Health requires a lead test for all children at age one, then again a year later. Barnett encourages the community to continue seeking the proper resources because lead poisoning is preventable.

Cameroon inks XAF650 mln deal to rebuild Kumba hospital burnt by separatists
- Friday, 04 October 2019 16:55
(Business in Cameroon) - Cameroon, via the minister of health Malachie Manaouda (photo), recently signed a XAF650 million agreement for the reconstruction of Kumba hospital. This was announced on the official's Twitter account.
Kumba is a town located about 70 km north of Buea, the capital of the Southwestern region. It is one of the towns that have been most affected by combat between the regular army and pro-independents, who have been demanding the partitioning of the two anglophone regions since 2016.
The reconstruction deal occurs about 8 months after the health institution was razed by an arson attack. During the attack, two sick people were burnt to death while the pro-independents killed two other people. According to official figures, many people were injured and nurses kidnapped.
During the national dialogue convened by President Paul Biya, to find a solution to the socio-political crisis in the Anglophone region, the human rights and fundamental freedoms commission strongly condemned this act while regretting that "proper security measures had not been taken to protect this strategic location."

Canada Opens First Startup Huddle Chapter in Niagara
Photo Credit: Flickr | Selbe Lynn
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Global Entrepreneurship Network is excited to announce the opening of Startup Huddle in Niagara, Canada, to help local entrepreneurs hone their pitch skills and discover solutions to the challenges they face. The first Huddle event in Niagara will be held this fall.
Startup Huddle is a program designed to educate, engage and connect entrepreneurs. As an experiential learning opportunity, the Startup Huddle format is consistent in each location: on a given morning, one or two early-stage startup founders give a six-minute presentation of their companies to a diverse audience of peers, mentors, educators and advisers. Each presentation is followed by a 20-minute question and answer session and feedback via an audience survey.
"We are fortunate to be part of the thriving entrepreneurial community in Niagara and to work with innovative entrepreneurs within that community that are at various stages of development," said Alexis Kleiman with iHub Niagara and Caroline Macdonald with Spark Niagara. "Which is why we're so excited to introduce a program that can help these entrepreneurs engage in meaningful discussion with fellow entrepreneurs about how they can discover solutions to the unique challenges they face as entrepreneurs."
The culture surrounding Startup Huddle is that of a supportive, neutral space, welcoming entrepreneurs to be open and honest about their businesses and the challenges they face. Each event is organized by local entrepreneurs and community builders who volunteer their time to secure a venue, vet and select presenters and publicize the event.
As opposed to a traditional "pitch" environment, Startup Huddle was not created to be critical of entrepreneurs, but rather for the presenters to learn from shared experiences and find ways to support one another as a community.
"We're excited to expand our GEN programing by launching Startup Huddle in Niagara in partnership with Spark Niagara," said Tanya Woods, acting managing director of GEN Canada. "Startup Huddle will allow us to directly support local entrepreneurs while plugging local ecosystem builders into our national and international network of partners and programs. We look forward to continuing this work as we expand GEN Canada throughout the country."
Startup Huddle is an educational experience for both the audience and the presenters. Presenters are given resources and support to prepare for their presentation and surveyed after their presentation to see what they've learned.
"Through the administering of this program we hope to facilitate meaningful connections and provide a 'safe space' for entrepreneurs to have open, honest conversations about their entrepreneurial journeys," said Kleiman and Macdonald. "We also hope that entrepreneurs that attend Startup Huddle Niagara will leave feeling inspired and feel supported by the community knowing that they have a support system in Niagara that wants to see their business flourish."

Q: refactor debounce function to useDeferredValue hook (React) In my application I use Redux to manage its state.
The task is when user types query in search panel application dispatches an action with payload and then request goes to API. I want to delay dispatch of an action, so when user types query the request only sends after user stops typing.
I implemented it with debounce function but kinda want to refactor in with useDeferredValue.
And that's when I found it difficult to implement this functional.

import { useState, useMemo } from 'react';
import { FormRow, FormRowSelect } from '.';
import Wrapper from '../assets/wrappers/SearchContainer';
import { useSelector, useDispatch } from 'react-redux';
import { handleChange, clearFilters } from '../features/allJobs/allJobsSlice';

export default function SearchContainer() {
    const { isLoading, search, searchStatus, searchType, sort, sortOptions } =
        useSelector((store) => store.allJobs);
    const { jobTypeOptions, statusOptions } = useSelector((store) => store.job);
    const dispatch = useDispatch();
    const [localSearch, setLocalSearch] = useState('');

    function onHandleSearch(e) {
        dispatch(handleChange({ name: e.target.name, value: e.target.value }));
    }

    function omHandleSubmit(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        dispatch(clearFilters());
    }

    const debounce = () => {
        let timeoutID;

        return (e) => {
            setLocalSearch(e.target.value);
            clearTimeout(timeoutID);
            timeoutID = setTimeout(() => {
                dispatch(handleChange({ name: e.target.name, value: e.target.value }));
            }, 1000);
        };
    };

    const optimizedDebounce = useMemo(() => debounce(), []);

    return (
        <Wrapper>
            <form className='form'>

search form

                    <FormRow
                        type='text'
                        name='search'
                        value={localSearch}
                        handleChange={optimizedDebounce}
                    />
                    <FormRowSelect
                        labelText='status'
                        name='searchStatus'
                        value={searchStatus}
                        handleChange={onHandleSearch}
                        list={['all', ...statusOptions]}
                    />
                    <FormRowSelect
                        labelText='type'
                        name='searchType'
                        value={searchType}
                        handleChange={onHandleSearch}
                        list={['all', ...jobTypeOptions]}
                    />
                    <FormRowSelect
                        name='sort'
                        value={sort}
                        handleChange={onHandleSearch}
                        list={sortOptions}
                    />
                    <button
                        className='btn btn-block btn-danger'
                        disabled={isLoading}
                        onClick={omHandleSubmit}
                    >
                        clear filters
                    </button>

            </form>
        </Wrapper>
    );
}

A: From the react website this is how it is done:

function App() {
  const [text, setText] = useState("hello");
  const deferredText = useDeferredValue(text, { timeoutMs: 2000 });

  return (

      {/* Continue to give the current text to the input */}
      <input value={text} onChange={handleChange} />
      ...
      {/* But the list of results is allowed to be "late" in case it is not load yet */}
      <MySlowList text={deferredText} />

  );
 }

so in your case this might be this:
import { useDeferredValue } from 'react';

export default function SearchContainer() {
  const [localSearch, setLocalSearch] = useState('');
  const deferredValue = useDeferredValue(localSearch, { timeoutMs: 1000 });

  ...

  return (

    ...

    <FormRow
      type='text'
      name='search'
      value={localSearch}
      handleChange={e => setLocalSearch(e.target.value)}
    />
  );
}

Is It Safe to Consume Essential Oils Internally?
One could argue that it should also be safe to ingest essential oils in small quantities, just as we have been doing when ingesting plants containing essential oils. Because they are produced naturally by plants, essential oils are found in naturally balanced mixtures. Then why is there an ongoing concern about the internal use of essential oils? Internal use can not only be very effective, but is also safe. Oils first have an effect on local tissues.
er and seems to be less fragile than the mucous membranes, the reality is that similar to the skin the mucosa has many features that are protective, and therefore conducive to the use of essential oils.
Like skin, the mucosa has many layers designed to protect the body against disease and toxic exposures. And similar to skin, the mucosa has an ability to constantly restore itself and to regenerate after harmful exposures, such as trauma from teeth or heat from foods that can cause ulceration.
The mucosa heals an open sore very quickly, so it can resume its protective function. The mucosa also has thousands of mucous glands that secrete mucous to create a protective film over the tissues. The mucous is continually being produced and continually migrating as the cilia beat, limiting any local exposure.
osa is designed to be protective, essential oils can be safely used internally.
Avoiding hot oils that may be irritating to the mucous membranes, using small single use amounts, or using less than the maximum daily amounts recommended, are all safe practices that can help us have confidence in using essential oils internally. If we are using the oils for a local effect, such as to soothe the mouth and throat, then the oils can be appropriately diluted. Internal use of essential oils may be the best method to help improve function of the gut and improve digestion, because the oils can get to the area of need.
ethod to get the oils to be absorbed into the body to promote health and wellness, for an overall soothing effect on the body, and for a calming effect on mood. Using the appropriate amount of oils in Veggie Caps or prepackaged in the appropriate amounts in softgels can be an effective way to take essential oils internally so that they can be maximally absorbed by the gut for a whole body effect.
This is also the most controversial mode of application, leading to much debate throughout the essential oil community in recent years. The confusion surrounding internal use of essential oils is largely based on lack of awareness. However, years of past and ongoing research have found that internal usage is a safe and profoundly efficacious application method.
Essential oils are already a normal part of your diet and the human body is well equipped to safely metabolize them (7) (see "Essential Oil Metabolism"). When you sprinkle cinnamon on your oatmeal, sip a mug of peppermint tea, or add fresh oregano to your pasta sauce, you are actually consuming small amounts of the volatile compounds found naturally in the plant. Essential oils give plants their aroma and flavor. When concentrated, essential oils can be used as internal supplements for more potent and targeted support.
Today, many essential oils are found on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) list (8), which affirms the safe use of essential oils as flavoring agents and preservatives. Every substance found on this list has a well-documented history of internal safety. Although essential oils have health applications that extend far beyond flavoring, this list sets a safety framework that can be applied to the internal use of essential oils.
Some people express concerns about damage to mucous membranes when taking oils internally. This fear is unfounded when looked at under scientific scrutiny. See Mucous Membranes and Essential Oils to learn more. Internal use of essential oils is perfectly safe and worry-free when used properly. See Recommended Ideal Amounts for information on appropriate amounts.
Some essential oils are not recommended for internal use, such as Arborvitae, Birch, Cedarwood, Cypress, Eucalyptus, White Fir, and Wintergreen. They are best used aromatically or topically.

ICYMI: Top reads on Congress
Congressional capacity, retirements, parties
Matt Glassman, "Why Congress Doesn't Always Do the Right Thing," New York Times:
"Will arguments to "do the right thing" persuade lawmakers? Don't hold your breath. Such exhortations are rarely heeded by politicians because the structural incentives of the institution usually trump policy considerations."
James Wallner, "When hatred of Trump leads to disdain for debate," Washington Examiner:
"By trying to delegitimize those with whom they disagree, commentators like Cohen shrink the political sphere to deny their opponents the right to participate in the first place. In the process, they conveniently sidestep the need to engage in a substantive debate over what's acceptable presidential behavior or what constitutes good public policy."
David A. Hopkins, "Don't Expect Much Legislation from Congress in 2018," Honest Graft:
"Even during normal political times, the internal operation of Congress gets much less than its rightful share of attention from the news media and public. With Donald Trump as president? Forget it. But amidst all the other drama of this eventful week, a few important clues emerged about the road ahead for Congress in 2018. They all seem to point in the same direction: to a relatively unproductive legislative year."
John T. Bennett, "Nunes Memo Aftermath Could Stifle Legislative Agenda," Roll Call:
"The memo's release and the Democrats' fiery response adds a flammable dispute to an ever-growing pile of political kindling only weeks into a midterm election year with control of both chambers in play."
Tara Golshan, "The simple explanation for all the Republican retirements: Congress sucks," Vox:
"But there are some overarching trends worth mentioning: Congressional leadership has increasingly centralized decision-making away from individual lawmakers, and there's a growing understanding that House Republicans could slip into the minority after this midterm election cycle. Paired together, lawmakers are likely asking themselves the point of being in the Capitol, said Jason Roberts, a political scientist at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill who studies Congress."
Heather Caygle and John Bresnahan, "It will be an intraparty war," Politico:
"A stealthy discussion is already underway within the Democratic Caucus, particularly among members whose only experience in Congress is in the minority. Assuming Pelosi either leaves on her own or is pressured to step down, her exit would trigger a messy battle between the party's old guard, led by House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), and the party's younger members, represented by House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.)."
Alexander Bolton, "Republican agenda clouded by division," The Hill:
"The looming question, however, is whether McConnell and other GOP leaders are willing to risk a backlash from the conservative base by cutting deals with Democrats — especially with primary elections quickly approaching. Some suggest the answer is to let senators legislate on the floor, something McConnell has vowed to do on immigration."
Jennifer Shutt, "The Appropriator in Winter: Frelinghuysen's Last Stand," Roll Call:
"The House Appropriations chairman is going out amid a blizzard of Republican infighting; lackluster presidential approval dragging down many of his "blue state" GOP colleagues; the increasing polarization of the electorate; and greater influence of Southern and Western conservatives at the expense of Northeastern moderates like himself. And then there is the long, slow decline of the appropriations process, which lost its sheen for many when earmarks were banned, discretionary spending was slashed to the bone and "government by CR" became the rule rather than the exception."
Sharon LaFraniere and Nicholas Fandos, "How Partisan Has House Intelligence Panel Become? It's Building a Wall," New York Times:
"To committee members of both parties, the division of one room into two is emblematic of how far the panel, a longtime oasis of country-first comity in a bitterly divided Congress, has fallen since it began its Russian inquiry last year. Any pretense that committee members will come together to get to the bottom of that matter – or any other – has disappeared."
Joe Lieberman, "We're well beyond partisanship, our national government has lost civility," The Hill:
"However, today we confront a more tempestuous political environment. The basic rhythms of the national legislative process — the norms that prompted Republicans and Democrats to work together in the service of the greater good — are gone. Our democracy is proving unable to meet the challenges of the moment. We face real trouble ahead."
Sam Rosenfeld, "The Polarizers," (podcast) New Books Network:
"Rosenfeld tracks the people—the Architects in his subtitle—who initiated changes in party rules and institutions that facilitated the development of the parties. The book is rich in historical details and meaning for our current political moment."
GAI at Georgetown University, "Congress, Two Beers In," (podcast)
GAI's senior fellows discuss congressional politics on a weekly basis.
Ryan Kelly, "'It's the Custom of the House to Hear the Leader's Remarks'" Roll Call:
"It appears John Boehner set the precedent for Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's remarks on the House floor today. Back on June 26, 2009, then-Minority Leader John Boehner talked for over 20 minutes and received a ruling from the chair, when Democrats tried to interrupt him, that "it's the custom of the House to hear the leader's remarks" during morning hour speeches. "
Jordain Carney, "Senate headed for freewheeling debate on immigration bill," The Hill:
"The Senate will be starting from scratch next week when it begins debating immigration legislation on the floor, a key choice that could impact the outcome. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Wednesday he will use a nonimmigration bill as the starting point for floor debate, a decision in line with a weeks-long promise that the process will be "fair.""
Dean DeChiaro, "Senate Immigration Debate to Begin With Blank Slate," Roll Call:
"Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday he will kick off next week's debate over the fate of 690,000 "Dreamers" with a shell bill that does not include immigration-related language. The debate "will have an amendment process that will ensure a level playing field at the outset," the Kentucky Republican said on the Senate floor."
David Winston, "Opinion: To Filibuster or not to Filibuster," Roll Call:
"To filibuster or not to filibuster. That is the question and only Senate Democrats can supply an answer. The choice is clear. More uncertainty for the country and putting economic growth at risk — or a willingness to accept compromise neither side may like but both can live with."
Rachel Bovard, "Government shutdowns are the dysfunction of new Senate norm," The Hill:
"Shutdowns, once reserved for dramatic standoffs and last resorts, are now becoming a normal way the Senate negotiates. That shutdowns have become so predictable is a reflection of the dysfunction of the Senate itself."
Theresa Hebert, "Working with Coalitions in Congress," Quorum:
"In Congress, little can be done alone. Every member in the House and Senate is part of a state delegation and a variety of committees and caucuses. Here is a glimpse at the groups Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA-37) is a part of in the House of Representatives and tips for how your organization can work with the respective coalitions."
Budget, debt limit, earmarks
Philip Wallach, "Americans would have a patriotic duty to ignore a debt ceiling crisis" Washington Post:
"For either party, consciously choosing to starve the nation of needed funds to make some point (even a broadly popular one such as the undesirability of enormous government debt) would incur huge political costs, much greater than any government shutdown. Members of Congress would have to be politically suicidal to keep up a standoff in which President Trump and his administration insist on the urgency (indeed, the national security imperative) of raising the debt ceiling quickly and without strings attached, so there would be every reason to expect a quick defusing of the crisis."
James C. Capretta, "Scrap the U.S. Debt Limit Before It's Too Late," Real Clear Policy:
"The federal government has a major debt problem, but the solution is not the current statutory limitation on government borrowing, which is counterproductive and could inadvertently cause permanent damage to the U.S. economy. The limitation should be scrapped immediately and replaced with a less risky modification to the budget process, one that encourages political leaders to focus on long-term deficit reduction."
No Labels, "Stop Continuing Continuing Resolutions," Real Clear Policy:
"Lawmakers will likely pass another short-term spending bill — the fifth since September 30 — to keep the government functioning. But there is a renewed sense of urgency that a final budget, and not just another continuing resolution, is needed. While many lawmakers have been involved in budget negotiations, a few have had an outsize influence."
Jennifer Shutt, "Five Continuing Resolutions? Par for the Course on Capitol Hill," Roll Call:
"Should it be signed into law, the fifth stopgap measure — introduced late Monday — would expire on March 23. At that point, lawmakers would be 174 days into fiscal 2018, with none of the 12 appropriations bills enacted on time. But the fact is veteran lawmakers like Lowey, who first entered the House in 1989, and even newer members such as those elected in the tea party wave of 2010 that ushered in GOP control, have learned to live with "governing by CR.""
Casey Burgat, "Examining the Case for Biennial Budgeting," R Street Institute:
"Biennial budgeting has been suggested for decades as a potential reform that would help alleviate many of the ills within the broken congressional budgeting process. This policy paper takes stock of the proposed advantages and criticisms of transitioning the federal government to a biennial, rather than annual cycle. Ultimately, I argue that a biennial budgeting model may provide some marginal benefits to a clearly dysfunctional budget process, but will do little to solve the more pressing problems, such as true spending priority differences between political parties."
Tom Schatz, "How Congress Can Restrain the Executive Branch Without Reviving Earmarks," The Federalist:
"The answer to members' complaints about their supposed lack of control over executive branch spending is greater oversight and renewed efforts to authorize programs, not earmarks. There is no comprehensive list of oversight hearings or their outcome, or any comparison from one Congress to the next. Oversight hearings tend to repeat the same subject matter. Joint hearings within the House are rare, and joint hearings between the House and Senate are extremely rare."
Congress and sexual harassment
Cristina Marcos, "House passes landmark bill to overhaul sexual harassment policy on Capitol Hill," The Hill:
"The House passed landmark legislation on Tuesday to overhaul Capitol Hill's sexual harassment policies following a string of recent revelations that multiple lawmakers engaged in misconduct. Passage of the bill by a voice vote means it now heads to the Senate, where its future is uncertain but could be helped by momentum from the "Me Too" movement highlighting sexual harassment."
Michael Stern, "Sexual Harassment and the Office of Congressional Ethics," Point of Order:
"My purpose here is not to analyze CARA's proposed reforms or take a position on the bill. I merely observe that, on its face, CARA seems to be a textbook example of how "regular order" is supposed to work. Congress identifies a problem, holds hearings, and proposes a legislative solution, preferably reflecting a broad consensus within the committee of jurisdiction. CARA in fact is cosponsored by every member of the Committee on House Administration. It also very bipartisan, with 14 Republicans and 20 Democrats listed as sponsors or co-sponsors."
Congress and big data
Michael J. Gaynor, "Can big data predict which bills will pass Congress?" Washington Post Magazine:
"In 2013, Tim Hwang and his childhood buddies Jonathan Chen and Gerald Yao came up with what they believed was a better way. The result was a company called FiscalNote, which aims to use data to shed light on the hidden components that help a bill become a law. FiscalNote's software crawls government websites to pull data from over 1.5 million active bills across Congress, 50 state legislatures and 9,000 city councils — and seeks to predict the likelihood of each of those bills passing."
Jennifer Victor, "Use big data to explain politics rather than predict it," Vox:
"When social scientists use big data to engage in analyses of this type, the primary goal is to explain rather than predict. Prediction is fun but may not allow us to understand the underlying causes of a phenomenon or outcome. This is where the dissatisfaction comes in. Using the data to focus on developing a clearer understanding of how the world works, how humans interact in it, and how these interactions produce outcomes, can provide enlightenment. Ultimately, this enlightenment can arm us with higher quality information than prediction alone."
Beth Simone Noveck, "Congress is Broken. CrowdLaw Could Help Fix It," Forbes:
"Around the world, there are already over two dozen examples of local legislatures and national parliaments turning to the internet to improve the legitimacy and effectiveness of the laws they make; we need to do the same here if we are to begin to fix congressional dysfunction."
