Books about Women Performers Who Dazzled the Crowds
Know who gets left out when learning about famous artists throughout history? The performing artists! Never fear. This list of biographies of women performers will help fill that gap. The biographical picture books on this list feature women performing artists from diverse walks of life. You will see familiar names as well as women who have made important contributions to performing arts fields and who have been all but forgotten, and even some whose work was credited to men! (Shameful!)
So, when discussing artists with your children, you won't forget to read about the performing artists now, right? Theatre, dance, music and other stages are just as important as artwork you hang on the wall. With a little searching on Mr. Google, you can show your children videos of these performers, too!
I have you covered though. When you want to learn about the visual arts check out the companion list: Picture book biographies of women visual artists.

Biographies of Actresses and Film Makers
Lights! Camera! Alice!: The Thrilling True Adventures of the First Woman Filmmaker by Mara Rockliff. Between 1896 and 1920, Alice Guy-Blaché made over 700 movies, but history has wrongly credited her films to men! As a girl, Alice loved stories. When the family business failed and her father died, Alice went to work at a camera company. Upon learning about a moving picture camera, Alice was eager to make moving stories. She experimented with film, running it backwards, adding color and sound. In 1907, she left France for America and built a studio in New York. Although the rise of Hollywood would mean her studio wouldn't last, Alice went on to write her own story. Watch some of her films here!
Shining Star: The Anna May Wong Story by Paula Yoo. Anna May Wong grew up helping her parents in their laundry business but dreamed of becoming a film actress. When she started getting film work she was frustrated that the only roles she could get were Chinese stereotypes, so she moved to Europe. Upon her return to the States, nothing had changed and she set to work to combat those stereotypes in film. I had never even heart of Wong and I have a PhD in theater! What a fascinating and important story.
Just Being Audrey by Margaret Cardillo. This book begins with Audrey's desire to become a dancer and the struggles she endured during the war. The narrative takes us through her growth into a figure of elegance and her work with UNICEF. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes how Audrey grew up encouraged to be kind to others.
Hedy Lamarr's Double Life: Hollywood Legend and Brilliant Inventor by Laurie Wallmark. I've put this in as a placeholder because I am still anxiously awaiting a library copy of this new book. I will update with a review blurb when I can but I am really excited to read it!
Biographies of Dancers
Ballet for Martha: Making Appalachian Spring by Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan. This is not necessarily a biography of Martha Graham's life, arguably the most important figure in modern dance, but the story of how her seminal dance performance of Appalachian Spring came to life. Appalachian Spring was a 1944 dance collaboration between Graham, composer Aaron Copeland and set designer Isamu Noguchi and the story here focuses on that collaboration and how the elements of the performance came together. The illustrations are gorgeous and this is a important book to demonstrate to children how performance is the result of people working together. Watch the Martha Graham company perform!
Firebird by Misty Copeland. In this gorgeous autobiographical picture book, Copeland writes poetically about her feelings as an ordinary girl struggling with self-acceptance but who has dreams of becoming a prima ballerina. Myers's illustrations are absolutely stunning.
Swan: The Life and Dance of Anna Pavlova by Laurel Snyder is an exquisitely illustrated book about the famed Russian ballerina. Anna grew up being told that her body was not right for ballet, but she persevered, believing that ballet was for everyone and brought beauty to the world with a new, dramatic and romantic style of dance. This is a marvelous story but with a bit of heartbreak. An endnote gives more information on Anna's life.
Danza!: Amalia Hernández and Mexico's Folkloric Ballet by Duncan Tonatiuh. This is a great book to read to kids alongside books that feature traditional European-style ballerinas. Amalia Hernández always knew she would be a dancer and she studied a variety of dance forms. She traveled all over Mexico, learning traditional dances of each region. She then formed El Ballet Folklórico de México, which combined ballet with these folk dances. Tonatiuh's illustrative style, which evokes Mixtec artwork, is perfect for this picture book biography of an important performer. If you are lucky, you might catch some the company's next performance!
Tallchief: America's Prima Ballerina by Maria Tallchief and Rosemary Wells. This is the story of an important figure in dance who is probably unknown to most of us. Narrated by Maria Tallchief herself, she begins by describing her childhood on the Osage reservation. With the encouragement of her mother, she grew up with a fierce love of music and dance and the family moved to Los Angeles so Maria could continue her training. This biography focuses on Maria's formative years and the book ends when she joins the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo at the age of 17.
Brave Ballerina: The Story of Janet Collins by Michelle Meadows. Unlike many picture book biographies, this book is not text heavy, and as such is suitable even for preschoolers. Short rhyming text tells the story of Janet Collins, the first black prima ballerina to perform at the Metropolitan Opera House. The book begins with Collins as a very young girl who loved to dance with the swoosh of the trees and the focus is on the joy and beauty of dance. This is great fun to read aloud.
Jazz Age Josephine by Jonah Winter is another wonderful picture book about the iconic singer, dancer and stage performer. Josephine Baker overcame a difficult childhood, pushed back against racist entertainment policies and dazzled audiences with her dancing. Winter's spirited text and Priceman's lively, jazzy illustrations, brings Josephine's particular brand of joyful performance to life.
Other Performance Platforms
Anything But Ordinary Addie: The True Story of Adelaide Herrmann, Queen of Magic by Mara Rockliff. Adelaide loved performing and began her career as a dancer. After marrying the magician, Herrmann the Great, she joined his show, performing all sorts of crazy stunts. When her husband died, Adelaide carried on, becoming the star of the show. The splendid illustrations and creative use of font mirror the boisterous magic of the tale. Kids will certainly want to try a few magic tricks after reading this, only don't let them climb into any canons!
Mermaid Queen: The Spectacular True Story Of Annette Kellerman, Who Swam Her Way To Fame, Fortune & Swimsuit History! by Shana Corey. Annette Kellerman had difficulty walking as a child so her father encouraged her to start swimming as a way to strengthen her legs. At a time when women were not permitted on the competitive swimming scene, Kellerman started developing a more artistic form of swimming that we would think of as water ballet. She performed her swimming, diving feats and aqua-acrobatics to adoring crowds and always pushed herself to do more and do better. This book about a little known heroine is great fun.
Biographies of Musicians and Singers
There are many, many picture book biographies of female musicians and singers on the shelves. I've include a limited sampling here because they really deserve their own list (which is forthcoming).
When Marian Sang: The True Recital of Marian Anderson is written and illustrated by a stellar team: Pam Muñoz Ryan and Brian Selznick. Contralto Marian Anderson found true acceptance first in Europe because Americans were unwilling to accept a black woman on the stage. When the DAR refused to allow her to perform at Constitution Hall, Eleanor Roosevelt arranged for her to sing at the Lincoln Memorial in 1939. (Watch a video of that performance here.) Like all the other women on this list, Anderson had to overcome strong barriers to achieve her success. Ryan skillfully recounts Anderson's life as a singer and civil rights activist and captures the emotional ups and downs of Anderson's journey. Selznick's illustrations shine. An extensive author's note is included.
My Name is Celia/Me llamo Celia: The Life of Celia Cruz/la vida de Celia Cruz by Monica Brown. This lively, vibrant bilingual biography tells the story of Cuban-born Celia Cruz, an important salsa singer and performer. The narrative traces Celia's journey, starting with her love of music and through her experience as a refugee escaping the communist regime in Cuba. She brought her musical art to Miami and New York, fighting racial stereotypes and never giving up. The text evokes the rhythm of salsa music and is great fun to read.

I love your lists and always find books that I didn't know or haven't thought of reading to my students. Here is a different kind of question: I am taking a course and want to create a book list as a final project (the course is on makerspaces). I want it to be online for a showcase and then I want to be able to print hard copies for my classmates. Is this a blog platform that you use? How do you get the pdfs of the lists? Thanks for any advice!
I create the printable lists first as a document in google drive. Then from the download menu I chose save as a pdf. Good luck with your project!

Home Barca news Who could replace Lionel Messi if he decides to leave F.C. Barcelona?
Who could replace Lionel Messi if he decides to leave F.C. Barcelona?
Alexander Ivanovski
F.C. Barcelona has had a tough time as of late. The once iconic Camp Nou is quite literally falling apart, an apt metaphor for the team that had once flown such great heights. In December 2020, there was word that chunks of the Camp Nou roof were coming off, with the club having lost more than 300 million EU over the past year. If players' salaries hadn't been postponed, they'd be in serious trouble. French player Antoine Griezmann is an example of a player who took a pay cut for the good of the club.
News recently broke that celebrated player Lionel Messi was set to leave Barcelona for Paris Saint Germain, with the French club optimistic Messi would be signed by the summer. Barcelona remains close to the top of La Liga, just under Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. But they seem to be struggling more than ever, and with the possibility of Messi moving on, are very likely on the lookout for some fresh talent to bring them back to life.
Here are three players who could make a difference:
Mbappe is one of the best footballer players in the world. The French international's form has ensured his team are favourites for the Euros this summer, with this in mind, you should take advantage of OLBG's guide to the best betting offers during Euros as he's being hotly tipped for the Golden Boot. He currently plays as a forward for Ligue 1 club PSG as well as France's national team and is known for his speed, clinical finishing and dribbling. He's one of the youngest players to score in the World Cup, and the second teenager to score in the World Cup Final. He's scored 76 goals for Paris Saint-Germain since 2018, as well as 16 for France since 2017 (while appearing 42 times).
A high-profile player with a lot of years ahead of him, it would be a good match for FC Barcelona.
Widely considered one of the best football players in the world, Mohamed Salah is an Egyptian football player who plays as the forward for Liverpool FC, as well as captaining the Egyptian team. He was signed by Liverpool for a club-record fee of £36.9 million back in 2017 and broke the Premier League scoring record for a 38-game season. Having netted 32 goals in 36 games, he received the Premier League Golden Boot. He's also won various awards and accolades for his athletic performance including PFA Players' Player of the Year. He's scored 93 goals for Liverpool since 2017. While the fans of Liverpool FC (and the team) would surely be sad to lose him, FC Barcelona would definitely gain from his presence and athleticism.
Another great player is Norwegian professional football Erling Haaland, who plays as a striker for Borussia Dortmund as well as for the Norway National team. He's known for his pace, athleticism and goalscoring and has been nicknamed The Terminator by fans. Now aged 20, Haaland was the first teenager to score throughout five UEFA Champions League matches. He won the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup's Golden Boot after scoring a record of nine goals in a single match.
An astonishing player, he's got a long career ahead of him and would be of great service to FC Barcelona (and an incredible replacement for Lionel Messi).
Perhaps the answer is already within the club?:
Then there are the players who already play for Barcelona but are likely to level up over the years and potentially be solid replacements for Messi. One of these is Ansu Fati — a Spanish footballer who plays professionally for Barcelona as well as Spain's national team.
Widely thought of as one of Spain's most exciting football players, he's scored 11 goals for Barcelona since joining in 2019, and six for Spain at the same time. He's out for the count as of late, having suffered a knee injury on 7 November 2020 against Real Betis, with a test confirming he tore his meniscus. The club confirmed he'll be returning soon and as long as he's fully healed, he should have a shot at being a huge player in the future.
Pedri
Pedri is another young player who is making a name for himself, currently as a central midfielder for Barcelona and the Spain national team. Since 2016 he's scored 6 goals for Barcelona. He received his very first call up to Spain's national football team in March 2021 and made his debut against Greece.
Ilaix Moriba
Playing for Barcelona B as a central midfielder, Ilaix was born in Guinea and also represents Spain internationally. Considered one of the best players in his generation, he's achieved 2 goals for Barcelona B and a further one for the first team. He also made his UEFA Champions League debut in March 2021 against Paris Saint Germain, where he was brought onto the field as a substitute during the 79th minute. He's been compared to French footballer Paul Pogba, based on his creativity during play and physicality. With a high level of skill, even when compared to players much older than him, Moriba has a lot of time left in his career and could even be a contender for a replacement for Messi's level in a few years' time.

Q: Constraints on a junction table of many entity types? Let's say I have the following database table and columns:
Event: event_id, event_name
School: school_id, school_name
Automobile: automobile_id, automobile_name
User: user_id, username

AssetPermission: user_id, asset_type, asset_id

In the AssetPermission table, the asset_type can take on values like event, school, and automobile, and the asset_id takes the primary key value from rows in event, school or automobile depending on what the asset_type is.
My question is can you apply database constraints (or some other mechanism) to make sure there are no orphan records in the AssetPermission table that might result from deleting records in Event, School and/or Automobile?
I work with either mysql or sql server, so not sure if the technology choice influences the answer.

Several research and evaluation studies were performed on alternative onsite wastewater treatment and disposal systems at sites with severe limitations for conventional systems. The soil properties, soil moisture regime, and shallow groundwater table at the research locations were characterized to gain a better understanding of the ability of the soils to treat and dispose of wastewater. Several typical site evaluation techniques were assessed, and because of a seasonally high groundwater table present in the soils of this study, groundwater contamination was investigated.

"Several research and evaluation studies were performed on alternative onsite wastewater treatment and disposal systems at sites with severe limitations for conventional systems. The studies included systems that rely on the soil for treatment and disposal (including low-pressures pipe (LPP) systems, alternating soil adsorption field systems, shallow conventional trenches, gravelless trenches, and mound systems) and systems that discharge to surface waters or to the atmosphere (including intermittent sand filters, upflow gravel filters, subsurface gravel beds, and evapotranspiration systems). These studies were performed on full scale operating systems, scaled-down field systems, or laboratory columns.

In 1969 John Lennon & Yoko Ono famously held a two week "bed in" to peacefully protest the Vietnam War. The first one took place in Amsterdam and the second was to be held in New York, but Lennon was banned from the US due to his Cannabis conviction. They moved the bed in to the Bahamas but the heat bothered them so they moved it to again to Montreal, where it was documented by the CBC. The images below were taken by the CBC and were featured in an exhibition on the event at the Montreal Museum of Fine Art. More info on that here.
That same year John Lennon and The Plastic Ono Band played the Toronto Peace Festival. The band, which also featured Eric Clapton, Klaus Voorman (who designed The Beatles Revolver album Cover) and Yes drummer Alan White, were billed with Little Richard, Bo Diddley and Jerry Lee Lewis.
A live version of the performance was recorded and released on record in 1969, while the film footage, directed by D.A. Pennebaker, was released as Sweet Toronto in 1971. Both have been reissued within the last couple years.
Many people are familiar with the band's song, "Give Peace A Chance", but I don't think most people just how weird, and good this band was. Beatles fans obviously hate it, which explains why the were almost booed off the stage. Below is a clip.
For those who do like it. I would highly suggest you pick up John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band, which was co-produced by Phil Spector and Yoko's companion record, Yoko Ono / Plastic Ono Band. Both covers are shown below and if you look closely you'll see that they're not identical.
In 1965 David Sellers and Bill Rienecke, freshly graduated from the Yale School of Architecture, came to Vermont looking to build something. They were attracted to Vermont as much by the skiing and partying as the opportunity to build without the restrictions of zoning regulations or planning commissions. They discovered 450 acres, mostly abandoned farmland and unimproved forest that they were able to buy for $1,000 down apiece. The name came when another architect friend, John Lucas, sat down on a raspberry bush and—ouch!—Prickly Mountain was born.
I've always loved the kind of novels that offer an alternative view of the present, where the plot is predicated on one key event in history playing out differently. For instance, there's Kingsley Amis's The Alteration, set in England nearly five centuries after the Protestant Reformation didn't take place. The Catholic Church is unchallenged in its authority, and castrati still sing in the choir. Similarly when Czech Cubism, the surreal cousin to Modernism, emerged after the disintegration of the Iron Curtain, I tried to imagine what the world would be like today if, instead of the rectilinear approach associated with the Bauhaus, an architecture based on triangles and crystalline forms became the norm. Imagine Park Avenue lined with buildings that look like…well, like Norman Foster's new Hearst headquarters.
If Pamela Courson had a blog. It might have looked like this. Visit Sun in Scorpio.
I was first turned on to the Whole Earth Catalog by my friend and old boss, John Wackman. He described the catalog as the sort of "Sears Catalog of cool and interesting things" as well as "the first blog." He couldn't have been more right. According to Wikipedia, "The Whole Earth Catalog was an American counterculture catalog published by Stewart Brand between 1968 and 1972, and occasionally thereafter, until 1998. Although the WECs listed all sorts of products for sale (clothing, books, tools, machines, seeds -- anything for a self-sustainable ""hippie" lifestyle) the Whole Earth Catalogs themselves did not sell any of the products. Instead the vendors and their prices were listed right alongside with the items. This led to a need for the Catalogs to be frequently updated. Apple Inc. founder and entrepreneur Steve Jobs has described the Catalog as the conceptual forerunner of the World Wide Web."
The catalog featured brief, blog-like entries on weird stuff that you would now find in selective, curated stores and websites around the city. These entries were written by the likes of: The Black Panthers, Walter / Wendy Carlos, William S. Burroughs, Peter Coyote, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Buckminster Fuller, Ram Daas, Wavy Gravy, Ken Kessey, Paul Krassener, Dalai Lama, Timothy Leary, Alice Waters, The Yippies, and so many more.
I'll be in Woodstock next weekend for the New Year. In honor of that, here's a pretty cool book devoted to the handmade houses of Woodstock.
About five years ago, I had the pleasure of staying in the house on the left. The photo to the right is my friend Mike who made that happen. There's at least 30 years difference between to the two pictures and the house looks just about the same.


In the yearly count of patents granted in the United States, the corporate front-runner for 2012 is scarcely a surprise.
I.B.M. was granted more patents in 2012 than any other company, the 20th consecutive year in the top spot, according to the annual tally by IFI Claims Patent Services, published on Thursday.
The technology giant is flush these days, so its patent pre-eminence in recent years seems routine. What is more impressive is that the winning streak was just under way when I.B.M. went into a tailspin in the early 1990s. Despite sharp cutbacks elsewhere in the company, I.B.M. kept investing in its research engine.
Google and Apple, rivals in the smartphone patent wars, were the big movers. Google posted a 170 percent jump in patents granted, with 1,151 patents. In 2012, Google ranked 21st in the corporate patent sweepstakes. A year earlier, it had placed 65th.
Last year, Apple was awarded 1,236 patents, or 68 percent more than in 2011. With that performance, Apple's rank jumped to 22nd, up from 39th in 2011.
"Google and Apple are clearly taking intellectual property very seriously, and playing to win," said Mike Baycroft, chief executive of IFI, a patent research firm.
But another Apple rival, Samsung Electronics, was granted 5,081 patents, second only to I.B.M.
The Google patent count, Mr. Baycroft said, may have benefited last year from some pending patent filings it picked up with its acquisition of Motorola Mobility, a purchase completed in late May last year. Patents are typically granted two to four years after the applications are filed. But most of the Google patent activity, Mr. Baycroft said, was probably from the search giant's scientists and engineers.
Michael Karasick, a vice president and computer scientist at the I.B.M. Almaden Research Center in San Jose, Calif., joined the company in 1988, just as the I.B.M. patent strategy was starting. One thing that has changed over the years, Dr. Karasick said, was the proliferation of "mixed-skill teams" of researchers in fields like medicine, public health, and oil and gas exploration.
Each such team, he said, will have computer scientists, mathematicians and statisticians. But in health care, the teams might also include biologists, geneticists and medical researchers, while the oil and gas teams would include geologists and geophysicists.
One invention — granted a patent last year — was for the question-answering technology used in the I.B.M. Watson computer that defeated human "Jeopardy!" champions in 2011. The same technology is being tested as an automated assistant to doctors as they diagnose diseases, for example.

Zorba, el Griego es el nombre dado a un video incautado por el GEIN durante la Operación Caballero donde se mostraba a Abimael Guzmán bailando junto a un grupo de seguidores de la organización terrorista peruana Partido Comunista del Perú-Sendero Luminoso la canción de la película Zorba, el Griego de Michael Cacoyannis. El video fue encontrado dentro de una caja y fue importante para la policía porque se pudo conocer con certeza el rostro real de Abimael Guzmán y de sus principales colaboradores, lo que permitiría más adelante capturar al líder de la organización terrorista. Entre los captados en el video se encontraban Abimael Guzmán, Elena Iparraguirre, Nilda Atanasio, entre otros.

Home >Let's Talk About > 2018 > October > RoSPA's national accident prevention strategy launched
Today, RoSPA has published Safe and active at all ages: a national strategy to prevent serious accidental injuries in England.
This national accident prevention strategy for England is the culmination of several years of hard work, and the dedication of partners from a whole host of organisations including Public Health England and the Royal College of Emergency Medicine. .
It's no secret that accidents are a major burden on our health and social care services – from 2013–2016, there was an average of 12,435 deaths from accidents each year in England – and it may come as no surprise that in the face of an ageing population, this number is on the rise, particularly in the home and leisure environments.
Yet in the vast majority of cases, with simple and often cheap interventions, these deaths and injuries can be prevented. It's clear that, with mounting pressures on the NHS and much discussion of a crisis in social care, the nation must take action where it can.
But also consider that for each of those 12,435 people who die every year, and the countless others that receive life-changing injuries as a result of an accident, there are families, friends and colleagues whose lives are irrevocably changed; it's this thought that drives us forward.
Our strategy's 25 recommendations set out how accidental death and serious injury can be addressed across the life course, from birth to older age. They bring together disparate organisations and stakeholder groups – from nurseries and schools to employers and government departments– and align work already being carried out by practitioners across the board to present a holistic way forward, ensuring that interventions have solid evidential foundations.
But above all of this, the strategy's ethos is one of enablement. Unintentional death and serious injury limit life's opportunities; they dash our dreams, and bring to a shuddering halt our hopes for the future. This is unacceptable – especially as accidents don't have to happen.
Quite apart from the traditional, outdated and misinformed view that accident prevention is about wrapping ourselves in cotton wool, the strategy aims to promote safe and active lives, for the whole of life, for everyone. It is important that children have opportunities to experience and learn from age-appropriate exposure to risk; we want to empower older people to lead energetic and vigorous lives free from physical constraints.
And in doing so, we know that we can help to play a small part in easing the pressure on the country's overstretched health services, that we can save businesses from lost revenue and productivity, and, most importantly, that we save lives and prevent the heartache caused by accidents.
Take a look at www.rospa.com/nationalstrategy to find out how you can help us achieve our vision of life, free from serious accidental injury.

Think of themes. Maybe go with holidays (Christmas, Easter, etc). Sea creatures, dinosaurs, fairies.
Read the book first. If you have a new book, take a few minutes to read it first. Test it out. Is it interesting? Funny? Do the words rhyme?
Get older siblings/ cousins/ friends to take turns reading.
Happily read the same book, every night, for weeks on end if that is what your child wants. I think I might be able to recite every Hairy Maclary book by heart, but I am still happy to read all about that crazy dog and his mates.

Roger McCreary, former Auburn DB, delivers Interception of the Year in end zone
Keith Farner | 1 month ago
Roger McCreary has an interception to remember for a long time.
At halftime on Sunday of the Tennessee Titans game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the rookie out of Auburn tipped the ball back to a teammate, Joshua Kalu, on a pass from Justin Herbert intended for Mike Williams. The play came in the closing seconds of the first half, and kept the game tied at 7, as it prevented the Chargers from pulling ahead.
It was described as a volleyball-type play, and it is easily the Interception of the Year in the NFL.
This INT is wild! @BluesKalus

The Titans selected McCreary with the 35th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. The former first-team All-American and first Team All-SEC selection recorded an SEC-high 14 pass breakups last season, and made 49 tackles and 2 interceptions.

Confirming the Prophetic Date of 445 B.C.
By Chuck Missler, (From his Book "The Creator Beyond Time and Space")
This paper is Part 2 of The Unexpected King (A Precise Mathematical Prediction)
Can we confirm the start date for the prophecy which calculates the date on which Jesus presented himself as Messiah.
Daniel 9:25: "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks; the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times."
In the fifth century B.C. a Hebrew named Nehemiah, then cup bearer to the Medo-Persian king Artaxerxes, wrote of the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem:
"And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of the reign of Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, I took wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never been sad in his presence before. Therefore, the king said to me 'why is your face sad, since you are not sick.'" Nehemiah 2:1-2 (NKJ)
Nehemiah went on to explain that he was sad because he had heard reports that the city of his people, Jerusalem, was still desolate. Nehemiah, requested that he be allowed to go back to Jerusalem and rebuild the city. King Artaxerxes granted his wish on the spot and gave him official "letters" or documents for easy passage. This occurred, we are told in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes Longimanus' reign.
Artaxerxes Longimanus ascended to the throne of the Medo-Persian empire in July 465 B.C. (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1990 ed.). The twentieth year of his reign would have begun in July 446 B.C. The decree occurred approximately nine months later in the month of Nisan (March/April on our calendar). By Hebrew tradition when the day of the month is not specifically stated (as in Artaxerxes decree), it is given to be the first day of that month. Consequently, the very day of Artaxerxes' decree was the first day of the Hebrew month Nisan in 445 B.C. The first day of Nisan in 445 B.C. corresponds to the 14th day of March. These dates were confirmed through astronomical calculations at the British Royal Observatory and reported by Sir Robert Anderson (Robert Anderson, "The Coming Prince", Kregel. Reprinted in 1984.).
The prophecy states that 69 weeks of years (173,880 days using the 360 day prophetic year) after the command goes forth to restore and rebuild the city of Jerusalem the Messiah will come. If we count forward 173,880 days from March 14th 445 B.C. we arrive at April 6th 32 A.D.
How could Daniel, writing in 537 B.C., have known this in advance ? How could anyone have contrived to have this prediction documented over five centuries in advance?
There is in fact, another way to check the accuracy of this date. In the Gospel of Luke, chapter three, it states that in the 15th year of the reign of Caesar Tiberius, Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist and began his ministry. It is well established that the reign of Caesar Tiberius (The Encyclopedia Britannica, 1990. Micropedia) began with his coronation on August 19th in the year A.D. 14. Most scholars believe Jesus was baptized in the fall season. It therefore follows that the ministry of Jesus started with his baptism in the Fall of A.D. 28, the 15th year of reign of Caesar Tiberius (The day that a Roman ruler ascends the throne begins his first year.). The ministry of Jesus spanned four Passovers or about three and one half years.
The first Passover of Jesus' ministry would have been in the Spring of A.D. 29. The fourth Passover of His ministry was the day of his crucifixion and would have fallen in the year A.D. 32. The Passover in that year fell on April 10th (The Passover holiday always occurs on the 14th day of Nisan in the Hebrew calendar. This corresponds to the first full moon after the Spring equinox.). Remarkably, according to Robert Anderson and the British Royal Observatory, the Sunday before that Passover was April 6th-The very day that Jesus presents himself as King and exactly 173,880 days after the decree of Artaxerxes!!
According to the principles of biblical higher criticism, this prophecy proves that the book of Daniel was written after the Gospel of Luke! This is, of course, absurd because Daniel was translated into Greek (the Septuagint) nearly three centuries before Jesus was even born
This Prophecy is one of the most astonishing proofs that God transcends time and is able to see the end from the beginning with incredible precision!

Robin Kolodny, Associate Professor of Political Science at Temple University, Pennsylvania, and Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Sussex speaks to The Badger about Obama, his policies and assassination.
Firstly where were you for the election?
I was in the American Embassy in London.
Happy, but mostly relieved that the polls were correct. Glad that the Congress went Democrat as well.
Should we be sceptical that Obama, as is often accused of Blair, will turn out to be all spin and no action?
That's a difficult question. The system prevents him from making huge changes as he needs Congress and they have very diverse interests to protect. I predict wide policy steps in foreign policy and civil rights for gay Americans but the level of changes will be milder than some will want.
How much of a radical will Obama be?
Not that radical at all. Remember that he campaigned as mainstream democratic, and unlike Hillary Clinton he is not promising national healthcare but healthcare that supplements the private sector. There will be no wholesale nationalisation, just temporary measures to ensure the system stays afloat. Generally the Democrat party is much more to the right compared to what it was thirty years ago.
Who are the key people around Obama? Has he chosen well?
Its still too early to say with a lot of posts not announced yet. The one key announcement so far is Rahm Emanuel a Chief of Staff. He was close to the Clintons and has a much more direct management style – basically he thinks he's right a lot! The flipside of this is that he will keep Obama focussed and I was impressed that he picked someone who no one can push around. More generally there is a lot of back-room jockeying to go on. The temptation for Obama is to take fellow senators that he knows well and has worked with before but he can't drain the senate of its best people. And he promised to bring change so he needs to pick people from outside the normal sphere of politics, like Michael Bloomberg [the billionaire Mayor of New York] or for me, offering Al Gore Secretary of Energy is a no-brainer.
Does the worsening economy make it a bad time to take over?
Yes and no. It's bad because the problems are so serious and it's going to get worse before it gets better. The American manufacturing collapse is the most immediately-pressing issue and the knock-on effects are huge. But it's a good time as well, because after all, the American view of Bush's presidency is so bad that the only way is up.
The global economic crisis will both give him options and tie his hands. It will mean that he can force China to improve its human rights as Americans won't care if there are less disposable goods they can't afford. But at the same time it ties his hands on aid. The piggybank is empty and Americans won't care about starving Africans if they can't afford to warm their homes!
What will the foreign policy of an Obama government look like?
Well for one he won't be wearing the 'world-policeman shield' so prominently – certainly not the same unilateralism that we saw in the last eight years. He has no choice but for a sharp departure in Iraq and Afghanistan – expect Joe Biden [vice-president] to be leading the way on that, and rightly so.
The economic crisis will mean he has to be more respectful of the President's impact on markets, and I genuinely believe that Obama has a consistent philosophy of humanitarianism.
Will he be able to through everything he wants even if he doesn't get the 60 majority in Senate?
Of course not but he will get a version of it. In the US all laws from the President are transformative, and what the President sends to Congress is only the starting point. The more a policy is domestic-orientated, the more it will be changed. Something like healthcare or energy policy will be pounced on by politicians from all wings.
Obama looks set to veto Bush laws on stem cell and oil drilling policies. Is this the start of an uprooting of the Bush government's laws?
Clinton did it too with the family medical leave act. It's a great way for a new President to indicate a clean break from the last guy. Rewrite a new bill and sign it on the first day of his Presidency. The main thing for Obama now is the budget – its due on February the 1st and is the product of 18 months' work by Bush's advisors.
He has only 11 official days to change it [after taking the Presidency on January 20th] so will be working his hardest to get in there before then.
Does Obama's victory mean the final victory for race relations?
Absolutely not. It's a significant victory, yes, and it's the dawn of a new era. But the same day that American's voted in a black President, the state of Nebraska outlawed positive discrimination! It doesn't wipe out prejudice, it doesn't deal with residential segregation and it doesn't deal with the fact that most American prisoners are black. It's a turning point but he is not the messiah – he cannot do everything that the black community want. In some ways just having a black family in the White House is the best thing he can do to break stereotypes.
How will Obama deal with environmental concerns better than Bush?
Well, will he deal with them at all? Whatever he does on the first day he will be doing better than Bush. He's not purely willing to cede to business demands. There may be lots of bold, new initiatives. For example, the collapse of the US manufacturing industry means Obama has more power; he can say "you want to be bailed out? Then all your cars have to be hybrid in 5 years." He probably won't be that bold, but it's possible.
And finally, do you think he will be assassinated?
I don't think so, no. This is not 1960. Since the assassination attempt on Reagan the secret service have improved massively. One test will be where he sends his kids to school. They currently go to a nice private school, but when the Clinton's moved in to the White House they moved Chelsea from a public [state] school to the incredibly prestigious Sidwell Friends School, as the secret service convinced them that it was necessary for her protection. If when they move to Washington D.C the kids go somewhere with a history of looking after high-profile children then it shows they are worried about attacks.


My aunt recently posted a picture of her beloved dog, "Sunshine", with this adorable and perplexed look on her face. She asked "I wish I knew what she was thinking?" and I was immediately reminded of Garth Stein's book, The Art of Racing in the Rain.
1) I began talking to and with my dog significantly more, in a more real way. I swear the dog and I completely changed our relationship as a result of this.
2) I now have a constant mantra in my head: "your car goes where your eyes go".
Maybe it took a dog to summarize this rather trivial pop-culture quote, I'm not sure, I just know that I observe this truth in nearly everything I do now.
Way more than my car… my thinking, my spirit, my beliefs, my choices, my ambition, my spiritual practice, my kindness, my money… it all goes where my intention goes. It takes a while some times, I don't find the benefits as quickly as a car avoiding a brick wall, but in the longer run it's enormously true; where I invest my heart and soul is where my life ends up.

Heritage Committee
Lowertown, Ottawa, circa 1910. Source: Archives de Québec.
Lowertown is the oldest and most storied neighbourhood of early Ottawa. Canal workers, lumbermen, and entrepreneurs were among those contributing brawn and brains to the area bordered by Rideau Street and the Ottawa and Rideau Rivers. It contains the city's oldest public square (Anglesea), oldest public park (Major's Hill) and oldest city playground.
Colonel John By's legacy extends beyond the engineering marvel of the Rideau Canal. As the original town planner of Bytown, his influence over Lowertown is still evident in the layout of streets, the presence of the ByWard Market and the history of military control of property. As land ownership became possible, more substantial buildings of clapboard, brick and stone followed earlier rough log and timber structures.
Urban planning consequences continue to affect this founding area of Ottawa. In the 1960s, urban renewal generated the demolition of hundreds of homes, the dislocation of numerous families and the disruption of established street patterns. The transformation of King Edward Avenue from a stately urban park to an urban truck route was part of this major planning disaster.
Over Lowertown's first century, French Canadian, Irish and Jewish residents shaped the community and built both humble worker cottages and grander mansions. Their vibrant history is reflected in two Heritage Conservation Districts (HCD) designated under the Ontario Heritage Act—Lowertown West HDC and Byward Market HCD—and in numerous individual buildings designations.
LCA Heritage Committee Co-chair, Nancy Miller Chenier, leads a heritage walk through east Lowertown in September 2013.
The Heritage and Culture Committee identifies, documents and promotes the protection of heritage buildings, historic landscapes and places of cultural significance in Lowertown including making regular presentations before City committees. It provides educational opportunities for and communicates with residents of Lowertown and the wider community about the benefits of preserving the area's heritage. The Committee also monitors government planning, zoning and public policy that affects the historical built and cultural landscape in Lowertown.
We welcome anyone interested in this work. Send us an email or complete the volunteer form stating your interest.

An arrangement of For all the Saints (Sine Nomine) for Clarinet Choir.
The hymn was sung to the melody Sarum, by Victorian composer Joseph Barnby, until the publication of the English Hymnal in 1906. This hymnal used a new setting by Ralph Vaughan Williams which he called Sine Nomine (literally, "without name") in reference to its use on the Feast of All Saints, November 1, or the first Sunday in November, All Saints Sunday in the Lutheran Church. It has been described as "one of the finest hymn tunes of [the 20th] century."
While most English hymn tunes of its era are written for singing in SATB four-part harmony, Sine Nomine is primarily unison (verses 1,2,3,7 and 8) with organ accompaniment; just three verses (4, 5 and 6) are set in sung harmony. The tune appears in this forms in most English hymnbooks (for example English Hymnal (641), New English Hymnal (197), Common Praise (232)) and American hymnals (for example, The Hymnal 1982 and the Lutheran Service Book (677).
Since the 1990s, some Presbyterian churches and groups affiliated with Reformed University Fellowship in the United States use a tune composed by Christopher Miner.
Sir Charles Villiers Stanford's tune Engleberg was also written to be partnered with this hymn, although in the wake of Sine nomine it never gained popularity and is now more commonly used with other hymns, including "When in our music God is glorified."

My father asked me to see the customer to the door.
The new store across the road has taken away most of my customers.
She's rather a tricky customer to do business with.
What sort of a customer is he?
These goods enjoy growing favour among the customers.
That shopkeeper cheats his customers.
We should tend on customers warmly.
To save customers' time, they began a delivery service.
We must be responsible to customers.
Bargaining can go on the whole day, or even several days, with the customers coming and going at intervals.
There have only been six customers in the shop today.
The new shop across the road has taken away most of my customers.
The drinks were produced in response to customer demand.


Outdoor hangs, whether you're on a vacay or at the park or the beach in your hometown, are a must in spring and summer- especially if you're living in a city like San Diego (like me) that has an endless amount of attractions.
There's a downside of spending time under the sun or traveling for long hours though. It takes a toll on my skin, including my lips. My Lips are usually the first to show signs of dryness and flakiness, especially during long beach days or flights. I have to combat this problem by using products that hydrate my lips, keeping them healthy and kissable for summer.
So how do I keep my lips flawless and hydrated?
During daytime or for my photo/video shoots, I usually go for a more sweet and natural look and use Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil, which I have talked about before. Read HERE and HERE. With sheer but glossy coverage, this product makes lips look instantly more radiant, and they smell delish – blackberry and candy are my faves! I obsessively use this product in the winter to prevent chapped lips and also as an overnight treatment to lock in the moisture.
But in the evenings, whether I'm grabbing dinner or drinks, or going to an event, I usually go for vibrant, bold colors on my lips that last long and don't transfer easily. I hate when my lipstick disappears even before the photo shoot starts or after getting a couple of sips from my drink. Anyone else feels that way?
Clarins might have heard our prayers 'cause they just came out with a new product that does exactly all of that! The product is called water lip stain, and yes you guessed it right – it is water based. 77% of it is water-based; it has a light, almost water-like texture which makes this product super comfortable to wear while rocking a long-lasting, bold lip. It comes in four different shades, and Red Water is my fav.
If you know me personally, you know that I'm always thirsty and I never leave my house without a water bottle. Staying hydrated keeps my skin healthy in my hectic daily life and especially more when I'm traveling. If you don't know the benefits of drinking water, read more HERE.
I'm all about using products with plant extracts versus chemicals, so another exciting thing about this product is that it's infused with pure plant extracts that are supposed to help nourish, soothe and protect lips.
Organic Aloe Vera helps hydrate and soothe lips while organic raspberry water softens lips. Clarins chemists also created a complex called Clarins Anti-Pollution Complex which contains white tea, succory dock-cress, sanicle and furcellaria that —help protect lips from environmental aggressors. It's the first time they included this complex in a lip product! Game changer! If you've read my recent post about facials, you remember I mentioned how pollution affects our skin and lips.
Overall, my favorite way to keep my lips healthy and hydrated is to combine these two products by Clarins. The Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil adds the ultra-glossy finish to the bold and long-lasting color the water lip stain gives. Have you tried these products already? Leave a review in the comments below!
This post is sponsored by Clarins, but the review, styling, and tips are mine.

Ft Worth City Manager Cooke
Ft Worth Mayor Price
Ft Worth Sewage Sludge Program
The purpose of this paper is to show how subtle wording can be to promote sewage sludge. The average farmer or citizen would be influenced by the way Ft Worth Sewage Industry tells the story. We will attempt to give you a choice so you can decide. Also most of Ft Worth references are from 1996. Others from 2003. The data on this web site averages 2009 and up.
"The Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility discharges treated effluent into the West Fork of the Trinity River, a sensitive stream that during dry months may be composed of up to 95 percent treated effluent. Village Creek was built in 1958 to serve East Fort Worth. The original treatment capacity then was 5 million gallons per day (mgd). Today,
Village Creek has a capacity of treating 166 mgd and it serves more than 20 other surrounding communities in addition to the more than 700,000 Fort Worth residents. The plant is owned and operated by the City of Fort Worth Water Department. Its service area includes most of Tarrant County and parts of Johnson County.
The treated wastewater from Village Creek is environmentally converted safely(1.) and beneficially land applied at numerous sites around North Texas. (2.) Both, the treated effluent and biosolids are regulated under a permit issued by the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) permit contains effluent limits as well as reporting, record keeping, monitoring, testing, and pretreatment requirements. The TCEQ web site has more information on the TPDES program"
(1.) How would Ft Worth know if their BS was "safely and beneficially" land applied since Renda is doing top applications and processing the sewage sludge?
(2.) Ft Worth will not look at current research data. They hide behind 1970 research done by the EPA. Namely, part 503. They will not consider the 2009 TNSSS or U.S. Office of Inspector General reports :14-P-0363: / More Action Is Needed to Protect Water Resources from Unmonitored Hazardous Chemicals"/ More Action Is Needed to Protect Water Resources from Unmonitored Hazardous Chemicals" or 19-P-0363:/ "EPA Unable to Assess the Impact of Hundreds of Unregulated Pollutants in Land-Applied Biosolids on Human Health and the Environment" or 19-N-0115 4-8-2019 / While conducting the Audit of the Impact of Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) Late Reporters on the EPA's Annual TRI National Analysis (Project No. OA&E-FY18-0002), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Office of Inspector General (OIG) decided to issue an immediate management alert informing the agency of our discovery that its TRI data pertaining to releases of hazardous substances from Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) are inaccurate. As a result, the public is not receiving complete and timely information about environmental conditions affecting human health."
The current 503 came about because of pressure from US Congress, the sewage industries, municipalities who wanted to continue to have a cheap way of getting rid of sludge after they could no longer dump in the ocean. The first draft of 503 was much stricter, actually with stricter rules for land that would be used for growing produce and it also required testing for a number of toxic chemicals (besides metals).
But the sewage industry screamed in protest claiming that if these more protective rules became law, it would end the land application of biosolids and then what would cities do? So EPA changed the draft which resulted in the current 503. Go figure. This has turned farmer that use it into laterally suckers for the sewage industry. Their farms are permanently contaminated by thousands of hazardous and acute hazardous chemicals.
Next we would like to address data on the brochure labeled "Ft Worth BS Marketing" Again BS = Bio-Solids.
"CITY OF FORT WORTH QUICK FACTS
Fort Worth's goal is to beneficially land apply 100% of all Biosolids. (3.)
Biosolids facility is operated by Renda Environmental Inc., in a public/private partnership. (4.)
"The City of Fort Worth's biosolids program received EMS (Environmental Management System) certification through the National Biosolids Partnership on July 20, 2005; making it the first program in Texas to be awarded this certification."(5.)
At typical biosolids application rates (7 dry tons/acre), each acre of land receives 120lbs of plant available nitrogen, 70lbs of plant available phosphorus, and 20lbs of plant available potassium." (6.)
(3.) Currently there is no protection for citizen exposure to millions of tons of sewage sludge coming from Ft Worth. Adjacent Counties are literally at the mercy of the metro areas. There is no consideration for putting this toxic waste next to populated areas even when Texas has thousands of square miles of land no where near populated areas.
(4.) Renda has a reputation. I would recommend searches on OSHA and Google.
(5.) EMS is the same old tired cry from the EPA who never finished research on sewage sludge and the millions of possibilities. Sewage Sludge has considerable Risk. The largest being the human involvement and money.
(6.) In order for these values to be valid, we would have to believe Renda's accounting. Again, human and money.
"Biosolids produced at the Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility are processed, monitored, and agronomically land applied to thousands of acres of farmland and pastureland in Tarrant and six surrounding counties in the North Texas area." (7.)
(7.) Biosolids are NOT produces at the Village Creek Facility. They are produced several hundred yards away at the Renda facility. Renda is a third party contractor. Do a search in OSHA on Renda. Check out the monitoring schedule in the marketing piece attached to this page.
"By City contract, the Contractor uses an independent certified laboratory to analyze the biosolids produced at Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility". (8.)
The contractor is Renda. Notice how Ft Worth does not disclose the laboratory.
"Samples of biosolids are taken from the process areas and analyzed for fecal coli-form, pathogens, metals, PCBs, pH , and percent solids." (9.)
(9)From this statement it looks like everything is AOKAY. But what the citizen and farmers do not know is what they are actually testing for. The EPA only requires testing on "fecal-coli-form" and one strain of 2000 of salmonella. Ft Worth use of the word "pathogens" is nebulous since "pathogens" is a general term for diseases. It makes the reader think they are testing more than they are. TWO out of hundreds are tested.
The EPA only requires testing on these heavy metals: arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, chromium 6, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium and zinc. ALL are cancer causing. Thousands of other chemical contaminate are ignored. (See the TNSSS on this webpage)
PCBs belong to a broad family of man-made organic chemicals known as chlorinated hydrocarbons. PCBs were domestically manufactured from 1929 until their manufacture was banned in 1979. "pH" is increase with lime but once the sewage sludge hit the ground the pH starts to decrease causing regeneration of bacteria and pathogens.
"Since 1991, the City of Fort Worth has produced Class "A" Exceptional Quality biosolids. Until 2015 when they were downgrade to Class AB which they lie on their web page stating: "The final product is Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Class A Exceptional Quality (EQ) Biosolids, also known as TCEQ Class AB Biosolids." Texas has Class A , class AB and class B. there is no such this as Class A EQ that is also Class AB. This is a bald face lie and fraud.
This is the highest quality recognized by The Environmental Protection Agency." (10.)
(10.) "Biosolids", "Class A", Exceptional Quality" and "highest quality" are all marketing ploys created by the sewage industry to fool the public into thinking sewage sludge is safe. Sewage Sludge is not safe and no one can prove that it is. How can concentrated pollution be anything but a risk to heath and environment?
"It has been estimated that biosolids within 95% of the ceiling limits (EPA requirement) would need to be applied to an area for 75 years before the soil concentration of those elements increased to a level of concern National Research Council. 1996." (11.)
(11.) "Estimate?" Since those estimates were made in the 70s and sewage sludge is constantly changing how can responsible public servants, including the EPA, continue to take this stance without checking land that have been dumped on for the last 15 to 20 years? Irresponsible! What about run off into lakes?
"In one study, cattle were fed a diet consisting of 12 percent biosolids material for 94 days and showed no adverse effects. Another study fed cattle a diet of 6 percent biosolids material for 141 days and again no adverse effects were observed. National Research Council 1996" (12.)
(12.) (See link call Cattle Foraging) this page. Just imagine cattle forging for 4 to 8 years on top applied sewage sludge. 94 days is laughable. Cattle pick up 6 to 8 ounces of top soil a day while forging. The contaminate DO find pathways into organs and muscle
"A multi-year study of people living near biosolids application sites was conducted. This study showed no significant differences in the health of the people near bio-solids application versus people not near biosolids application. The same held true for their domestic animals. National Research Council. 1996" (13.)
(13.) "Multi-year study" Could Ft Worth be more vague? The EPA's study on effects and risk near sewage sludge top applied was done on a 25 year old in good health. I have seen and experienced the effects of top applied sewage sludge and it DOES cause respiratory irritation and in a lot of cases vomiting. The long term effects have never been study but with the diseases coming over the boarder today, antibiotic resistant bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, Ebola hemorrhagic fever and a nasty little bug called prion it is coming to a head.
"In biosolids amended fields the concentration of trace elements in crops does not increase" 2003. On-Farm Assessment of Biosolids Effects on Soil and Crop Tissue Quality. Journal of Environmental Quality. (14.)
(14.) This would be our favorite. How would Ft Worth know it does not increase since they have never done any studies? Any body reading this might be fooled. Take Lead or Chromium 6 and tell me when you apply it over and over to a field it does not concentrate? Has anyone ever noticed where money is involved common sense is out the door? What about all the thousands of trace elements that have never been tested?
Our product contains approximately 20% solids material which means the other 80% is water. This acts to reduce the irrigation needs in the hot Texas summers month". (15.)
(15.) Take a look at picture provided on the right. See for yourself what 20% solids 80% liquids look like according to Ft Worth.
"When properly applied, biosolids pose almost no risk to groundwater or surface water. National Research Council. 1996" (16.)
(16.) Who makes sure they are properly applied? "Almost no risk" Arlington reports pharmaceuticals in their tap water. Ft Worth will not release their studies on tap water. There is a picture of dead fish in a pond where run off of sewage sludge killed them all. Common sense.
"SOIL STABILITY
Biosolids add organic material to the soil, which help bind soil particles into aggregates which in turn increase the pore space of the soil. One study observed an increase of aggregates of almost one-third. National Research Council. 1996" (17.)
(17.) At the same time lime, which is used to change the ph and kill pathogen, leaches into the ground repelling water and turns the soil hard. Go Figure.
"The increase in aggregate formation acts to reduce the erosion potential of the soil. Biosolids Decomposition after Surface Applications in West Texas. 2003. Journal of Environmental Quality" (18)
(18.) Everyone needs to look up "Aggregate formations" in soil.
"Aggregate stability also increases with the addition of biosolids. An-other study showed this increase to be approximately 24 percent. National Research Council. 1996
CROP PRODCUTION
Biosolids contain inorganic forms of nitrogen which are immediately available to crops. The organic component must undergo mineralization to become available. National Research Council. 1996
Crops in fields supplemented with biosolids tend to have an increased leaf biomass.
Biosolids contain many trace elements, essential for plant growth. National Research Council. 1996
Due to the slow release component of biosolids, beneficial effects are seen up to three years after application." (19)
(19.) All outdated rhetoric.
