Adoption of accounting guidance (see Note 1)
See accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements
Note 1 – Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Seaboard Corporation and its domestic and foreign subsidiaries ("Seaboard"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Seaboard's investments in non-consolidated affiliates are accounted for by the equity method. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Seaboard for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed in its annual report on Form 10-K. Seaboard's first three quarterly periods include approximately 13 weekly periods ending on the Saturday closest to the end of March, June and September. Seaboard's year-end is December 31.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Except for new guidance adopted prospectively as discussed below, Seaboard has consistently applied all accounting policies as disclosed in the annual report on Form 10-K to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year. As Seaboard conducts its commodity trading business with third parties, consolidated subsidiaries and non-consolidated affiliates on an interrelated basis, gross margin on non-consolidated affiliates cannot be clearly distinguished without making numerous assumptions primarily with respect to mark-to-market accounting for commodity derivatives.
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Items subject to such estimates and assumptions include those related to allowance for credit losses on receivables, valuation of inventories, impairment of long-lived assets, intangibles and goodwill, write-down related to investments in and advances to affiliates and notes receivable from affiliates, income taxes, lease liabilities and right of use ("ROU") assets and accrued pension liability. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following table includes supplemental cash and non-cash information related to leases. Seaboard reports the amortization of ROU assets and changes in operating lease liabilities in other liabilities, exclusive of debt in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities:
Operating cash flows from operating leases
Operating cash flows from finance leases
Financing cash flows from finance leases
Operating ROU assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities
Finance ROU assets obtained in exchange for new finance lease liabilities
Seaboard's operating lease assets and liabilities are reported separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The classification of Seaboard's finance leases in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was as follows:
Finance lease ROU assets, net
Finance lease liabilities
Non-current finance lease liabilities
Accounting Standard Adopted During 2020
On January 1, 2020, Seaboard adopted guidance which requires the use of a new current expected credit loss model in order to determine the allowance for credit losses with respect to accounts receivable and notes receivable, among other financial instruments. This model estimates the lifetime of expected credit loss based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts and replaces the existing incurred loss model. As a result of this adoption, Seaboard recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $3 million on January 1, 2020 that decreased retained earnings and increased the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit loss was $29 million and $28 million at September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The activity within the allowance for credit losses on receivables was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020.
Seaboard used the loss-rate method in developing its allowance for credit losses, which involved identifying pools of assets with similar risk characteristics, reviewing historical losses within the last five years and consideration for any reasonable supportable forecasts of economic indicators. Seaboard endeavors to minimize credit risk by its credit granting policies, relationships established with customers and relatively short billing and collection cycles. Management monitors the credit quality of its different receivable types by frequent customer discussions, following economic and industry trends and specific customer data. Changes in estimates, developing trends and other new information can have a material effect on future evaluations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and improves consistent application of GAAP for other areas by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This guidance is effective for Seaboard on January 1, 2021. Seaboard is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

Note 4 – Debt and Commitments and Contingencies
The outstanding balances under uncommitted and committed lines of credit were $242 million and $29 million, respectively, as of September 26, 2020. Of the aggregate outstanding balance, $157 million was denominated in foreign currencies with $122 million denominated in the South African rand, $24 million denominated in the Canadian dollar and $11 million denominated in various other currencies. The outstanding balances under uncommitted and committed lines of credit were $246 million and $0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019. The weighted average interest rates for outstanding lines of credit were 4.23% and 5.79% as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2020, Seaboard entered into an unsecured $250 million short-term committed revolving line of credit agreement with a $100 million accordion option maturing May 20, 2021. Draws bear interest based on LIBOR plus 1.63%. Seaboard incurs unused commitment fees of 0.20% per annum. During September of 2020, Seaboard renewed its $100 million secured committed line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association through September 30, 2021. Pursuant to the amendment, interest is computed at LIBOR plus 0.75%, and Seaboard incurs an unused commitment fee of 0.15% per annum.
Long-term debt includes borrowings under term loans and other contractual obligations for payment, including notes payable. The following is a summary of long-term debt:
Term Loan due 2028
Foreign subsidiary obligations
Total long-term debt at face value
Current maturities of long-term debt and unamortized discount and costs

The interest rate on the Term Loan due 2028 was 1.78% and 3.42% as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on Seaboard's foreign subsidiary obligations was 3.41% and 3.50% as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Seaboard was in compliance with all restrictive debt covenants as of September 26, 2020.
On June 28, 2018, Wanda Duryea and 11 other indirect purchasers of pork products, acting on behalf of themselves and a putative class of indirect purchasers of pork products, filed a class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota (the "District Court") against several pork processors, including Seaboard Foods LLC and Agri
Stats, Inc., a company described in the complaint as a data sharing service. Subsequent to the filing of this initial complaint, additional class action complaints making similar claims on behalf of putative classes of direct and indirect purchasers were filed in the District Court. The complaints were amended and consolidated for pre-trial purposes, into 3 consolidated putative class actions brought on behalf of (a) direct purchasers, (b) consumer indirect purchasers and (c) commercial and institutional indirect purchasers. The amended complaints named Seaboard Corporation as an additional defendant. The consolidated actions are styled In re Pork Antitrust Litigation. Subsequent to the original filings, two additional actions making similar claims, including one by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, were brought in or transferred to the District Court. The complaints alleged, among other things, that beginning in January 2009, the defendants conspired and combined to fix, raise, maintain, and stabilize the price of pork products in violation of U.S. antitrust laws by coordinating their output and limiting production, allegedly facilitated by the exchange of non-public information about prices, capacity, sales volume and demand through Agri Stats, Inc. The complaints on behalf of the putative classes of indirect purchasers also included causes of action under various state laws, including state antitrust laws, unfair competition laws, consumer protection statutes and state common law claims for unjust enrichment. The complaints also alleged that the defendants concealed this conduct from the plaintiffs and the members of the putative classes. The relief sought in the respective complaints includes treble damages, injunctive relief, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs and attorneys' fees on behalf of the putative classes. On August 8, 2019, the District Court granted defendants' motion to dismiss the class action cases while giving the plaintiffs leave to amend. The classes and the other two plaintiffs filed amended complaints in November and December 2019. In addition to amending the original claims, the consumer indirect purchasers have asserted a new claim alleging that the exchange of information by defendants through Agri Stats Inc. unreasonably restrained trade. On October 16, 2020, the defendants' pending motion to dismiss the amended complaints was denied. Seaboard intends to defend these cases vigorously. It is impossible at this stage either to determine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome resulting from these suits, or to reasonably estimate the amount of potential loss or range of potential loss, if any, resulting from the suits.
On March 20, 2018, the bankruptcy trustee (the "Trustee") for Cereoil Uruguay S.A. ("Cereoil") filed a suit in the Bankruptcy Court of First Instance in Uruguay that was served during the second quarter of 2018 naming as parties Seaboard and Seaboard's subsidiaries, Seaboard Overseas Limited ("SOL") and Seaboard Uruguay Holdings Ltd. ("Seaboard Uruguay"). Seaboard has a 45% indirect ownership of Cereoil. The suit seeks an order requiring Seaboard, SOL and Seaboard Uruguay to reimburse Cereoil the amount of $22 million, contending that deliveries of soybeans to SOL pursuant to purchase agreements should be set aside as fraudulent conveyances. Seaboard intends to defend this case vigorously. It is impossible at this stage to determine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome resulting from this suit. In the event of an adverse ruling, Seaboard and its two subsidiaries could be ordered to pay the amount of $22 million. Any award in this case would offset against any award in the additional case described below filed by the Trustee on April 27, 2018.
On April 27, 2018, the Trustee for Cereoil filed another suit in the Bankruptcy Court of First Instance in Uruguay that was served during the second quarter of 2018 naming as parties Seaboard, SOL, Seaboard Uruguay, all directors of Cereoil, including two individuals employed by Seaboard who served as directors at the behest of Seaboard, and the Chief Financial Officer of Cereoil, an employee of Seaboard who also served at the behest of Seaboard (collectively, the "Cereoil Defendants"). The Trustee contends that the Cereoil Defendants acted with willful misconduct to cause Cereoil's insolvency, and thus should be ordered to pay all liabilities of Cereoil, net of assets. The bankruptcy filing lists total liabilities of $53 million and assets of $30 million. Seaboard intends to defend this case vigorously. It is impossible at this stage to determine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome resulting from this suit. In the event of an adverse ruling, Seaboard and the other Cereoil Defendants could be ordered to pay the amount of the net indebtedness of Cereoil, which based on the bankruptcy schedules would total $23 million. It is possible that the net indebtedness could be higher than this amount if Cereoil's liabilities are greater than $53 million and/or Cereoil's assets are worth less than $30 million.
In addition, in the event of an adverse ruling, the Bankruptcy Court of First Instance could order payment of the Trustee's professional fees, interest, and other expenses. Any award in this case would offset against any award in the case described above filed on March 20, 2018.
A creditor of Cereoil which has a claim in the bankruptcy proceeding pending in Uruguay of approximately $10 million, plus accrued interest, has threatened to bring legal action in the U.S. against Seaboard alleging on various legal theories that Seaboard is responsible for this same indebtedness. Seaboard will vigorously defend this action should it be brought.
On May 15, 2018, the Trustee for Nolston S.A. ("Nolston") filed a suit in the Bankruptcy Court of First Instance in Uruguay that was served during the second quarter of 2018 naming as parties Seaboard and the other Cereoil Defendants. Seaboard
has a 45% indirect ownership of Nolston. The Trustee contends that the Cereoil Defendants acted with willful misconduct to cause Nolston's insolvency, and thus should be ordered to pay all liabilities of Nolston, net of assets. The bankruptcy filing lists total liabilities of $29 million and assets of $15 million. Seaboard intends to defend this case vigorously. It is impossible at this stage to determine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome resulting from this suit. In the event of an adverse ruling, Seaboard and the other Cereoil Defendants could be ordered to pay the amount of the net indebtedness of Nolston, which based on the bankruptcy schedules would total $14 million. It is possible that the net indebtedness could be higher than this amount if Nolston's liabilities are greater than $29 million and/or Nolston's assets are worth less than $15 million. In addition, in the event of an adverse ruling, the Bankruptcy Court of First Instance could order payment of the Trustee's professional fees, interest, and other expenses.
Seaboard is subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings and other legal matters related to the normal conduct of its business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these items is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements of Seaboard.
Certain of the non-consolidated affiliates and third-party contractors who perform services for Seaboard have bank debt supporting their underlying operations. From time to time, Seaboard will provide guarantees of that debt in order to further Seaboard's business objectives. Seaboard does not issue guarantees of third parties for compensation. As of September 26, 2020, guarantees outstanding to affiliates and third parties were not material. Seaboard has not accrued a liability for any of the affiliate or third-party guarantees as management considers the likelihood of loss to be remote.
Note 5 – Employee Benefits
Seaboard has a defined benefit pension plan for certain domestic salaried and clerical employees. At this time, 0 contributions are expected to be made to the plan in 2020. Seaboard also sponsors non-qualified, unfunded supplemental executive plans, and has certain individual, non-qualified, unfunded supplemental retirement agreements for certain retired employees. Management has no plans to provide funding for these supplemental plans in advance of when the benefits are paid.
During the third quarter of 2020, Seaboard made a lump sum $32 million pension distribution, related to the passing of Mr. Steve Bresky. This distribution resulted in recognizing a $9 million pension settlement charge in a non-qualified supplemental executive plan.
The net periodic benefit cost for all plans was as follows:
Components of net periodic benefit cost:
Expected return on plan assets
Settlement loss recognized
Net periodic benefit cost
In addition to the pension distribution, Seaboard paid $32 million of deferred compensation, related to Mr. Bresky, which decreased deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities recorded in other current assets and liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Note 6 – Derivatives and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following tables shows assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and also the level within the fair value hierarchy used to measure each category of assets and liabilities. The trading securities classified as other current assets below are assets held for Seaboard's deferred compensation plans.
Trading securities – short-term investments:
Trading securities – other current assets:
Money market fund held in trading accounts
Derivatives:
Contingent consideration
Financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, net receivables, lines of credit and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value as a result of the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of short-term investments is measured using multiple levels. Domestic debt securities categorized as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy include debt securities held in mutual funds and ETFs. Domestic debt securities categorized as level 2 include corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and U.S. Treasuries. High yield securities categorized as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy include high yield securities held in mutual funds and ETFs and level 2 includes corporate bonds and bank loans.
During the first quarter of 2020, Seaboard invested $30 million in a financial services company that primarily lends to and invests in debt securities of privately held companies. This long-term investment is classified in "Other non-current assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and is valued at net asset value ("NAV"), adjusted for specific liquidity factors, resulting in level 3 classification.
The fair value of Seaboard's contingent consideration related to a 2018 acquisition was classified as a level 3 in the fair value hierarchy since the calculation is dependent upon projected company specific inputs using a Monte Carlo simulation. Seaboard remeasures the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability until settled with adjustments included in net earnings (loss). The increase in the liability during 2020 was related to lower interest rates at the measurement date.
While management believes its derivatives are primarily economic hedges, Seaboard does not perform the extensive record-keeping required to account for these types of transactions as hedges for accounting purposes. As the derivatives discussed below are not accounted for as hedges, fluctuations in the related commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices could have a material impact on earnings in any given period. The nature of Seaboard's market risk exposure has not changed materially since December 31, 2019.
Commodity Instruments
Seaboard uses various derivative futures and options to manage its risk of price fluctuations for raw materials and other inventories, finished product sales and firm sales commitments. As of September 26, 2020, Seaboard had open net derivative contracts to purchase 18 million bushels of grain and open net derivative contracts to sell 72 million pounds of soybean oil. As of December 31, 2019, Seaboard had open net derivative contracts to purchase 17 million bushels of grain and open net derivative contracts to sell 132 million pounds of soybean oil and 12 million gallons of heating oil. Commodity derivatives are recorded at fair value with any changes in fair value being marked-to-market as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Foreign Currency Exchange Agreements
Seaboard enters into foreign currency exchange agreements to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Seaboard had foreign currency exchange agreements to cover a portion of its firm sales and purchase commitments and related trade receivables and payables with net notional amounts of $55 million and $78 million, respectively, primarily related to the euro and South African rand. From time to time, Seaboard is subject to counterparty credit risk related to its foreign currency exchange agreements should the counterparties fail to perform according to the terms of the contracts. As of September 26, 2020, Seaboard had a maximum aggregate amount of loss due to credit risk of $4 million with 3 counterparties. Seaboard does not hold any collateral related to these agreements.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
Seaboard enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage the interest rate risk with respect to certain variable rate long-term debt. During mid-2020, Seaboard entered into 3 interest rate exchange agreements with an aggregate notional value of $400 million that mature in mid-2025. Seaboard pays fixed-rate interest payments at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.26% over the life of the agreements and receives variable-rate interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR from the counterparty without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. Interest rate exchange agreements are recorded at fair value with changes in value marked-to-market as a component of interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Equity Futures Contracts
Seaboard enters into equity futures contracts to manage the equity price risk with respect to certain short-term investments. Equity futures contracts are recorded at fair value with changes in value marked-to-market as a component of other investment income (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The notional amounts of these equity futures contracts were $6 million and $0 million as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The following table provides the amount of gain or (loss) recognized in income for each type of derivative and where it was recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income:
The following table provides the fair value of each type of derivative held and where each derivative is included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets:
Asset Derivatives
Liability Derivatives
Seaboard's commodity derivative assets and liabilities are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets on a net basis, including netting the derivatives with the related margin accounts. As of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the commodity derivatives had a margin account balance of $18 million and $13 million, respectively, resulting in a net other current asset in the condensed consolidated balance sheets of $19 million and $15 million, respectively. Seaboard's equity future derivatives are also presented on a net basis, including netting the derivatives within short-term investments.
Note 7 – Stockholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Under Seaboard's share repurchase program, Seaboard is authorized to repurchase its common stock from time to time in open market or privately negotiated purchases, which may be above or below the traded market price. During the period that the share repurchase program remains in effect, Seaboard may enter into a 10b5-1 plan authorizing a third party to make such purchases on behalf of Seaboard. All stock repurchased will be made in compliance with applicable legal requirements and funded by cash on hand. The timing of the repurchases and the number of shares repurchased will depend upon market conditions, compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and other factors. The Board of Directors' stock repurchase authorization does not obligate Seaboard to acquire a specific amount of common stock, and the stock repurchase program may be suspended at any time at Seaboard's discretion. The share repurchase program expires on October 31, 2020, unless extended. As of September 26, 2020, $65 million of common stock remained available for repurchase under this program. Seaboard repurchased 0 shares and 4,069 shares of common stock during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, respectively.
The changes in the components of other comprehensive income (loss), net of related taxes, are as follows:
Unrecognized pension cost (a)
Primarily represents amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net periodic pension cost representing the amortization of actuarial losses (gains) and other adjustments.
The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related taxes, are as follows:
Cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment
Cumulative unrecognized pension cost
Total accumulated other comprehensive loss
Note 8 – Revenue Recognition
Seaboard has multiple segments with diverse revenue streams. The following tables present Seaboard's sales disaggregated by revenue source and segment:
Three Months Ended September 26, 2020
CT&M
Major Products/Services Lines:
Segment/Consolidated Totals
Nine Months Ended September 26, 2020
Revenue from goods and services transferred to customers at a single point in time account for approximately 85% of Seaboard's net sales. Substantially all of the sales in Seaboard's Marine segment are recognized ratably over the transit time for each voyage as Seaboard believes this is a faithful depiction of the performance obligation to its customers. Seaboard's contracts with its customers are short-term, defined as less than one year.
Deferred revenue represents cash payments received in advance of Seaboard's performance or revenue billed that is unearned. The CT&M segment requires certain customers to pay in advance or upon delivery to avoid collection risk. The Marine segment's deferred revenue balance primarily relates to the unearned portion of billed revenue when a ship is on the water and has not arrived at the designated port. Deferred revenue balances are reduced when revenue is recognized. The deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2019 was fully recognized as revenue during the first quarter of 2020.
Seaboard computes its year-to-date provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pre-tax income or loss and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. Changes in the forecasted annual income (loss) projections, including changes due to the impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic, have resulted in significant adjustments to quarterly income tax expense (benefit).
Note 10 – Segment Information
Seaboard has 6 reportable segments: Pork, CT&M, Marine, Sugar and Alcohol, Power and Turkey, each offering a specific product or service. For details on the respective products or services, see Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements included in Seaboard's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2019. Below are segment updates from year-end.
During the first quarter of 2020, the CT&M segment finalized the purchase price allocation related to the October 2019 acquisition of ContiLatin del Peru S.A. resulting in the recording of $1 million of intangible assets and no goodwill.
The Turkey segment, accounted for using the equity method, represents Seaboard's investment in Butterball, LLC ("Butterball"). As of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Butterball had total assets of $1.2 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. Butterball's summarized income statement information was as follows:
Operating loss
The following tables set forth specific financial information about each segment as reviewed by Seaboard's management. Operating income (loss) for segment reporting is prepared on the same basis as that used for consolidated operating income. Operating income (loss), along with income or loss from affiliates for the Pork, CT&M and Turkey segments, is used as the measure of evaluating segment performance because management does not consider interest, other investment income (loss) and income tax benefit (expense) on a segment basis.

Administrative services provided by the corporate office are allocated to the individual segments and represent corporate services rendered to and costs incurred for each specific segment, with no allocation to individual segments of general corporate management oversight costs. Corporate assets include cash and short-term investments, other current assets related to deferred compensation plans, long-term investments and other miscellaneous items. Corporate operating results represent certain operating costs not specifically allocated to individual segments and include costs related to Seaboard's deferred compensation plans, which are offset by the effect of the marked-to-market adjustments on these investments recorded in other investment income (loss), net.
Summary of Sources and Uses of Cash
As of September 26, 2020, Seaboard had cash and short-term investments of $1.3 billion and additional total net working capital of $668 million. Cash and short-term investments as of September 26, 2020 decreased $222 million to $1.3 billion from December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of the sale of short-term investments for working capital purposes. Cash from operating activities decreased $36 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.
As of September 26, 2020, $77 million of the $1.3 billion of cash and short-term investments were held by Seaboard's foreign subsidiaries. Historically, Seaboard has considered substantially all foreign profits as being permanently invested in its foreign operations, including all cash and short-term investments held by foreign subsidiaries. Seaboard intends to continue permanently reinvesting the majority of these funds outside the U.S. as current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund Seaboard's U.S. operations. For any planned repatriation to the U.S., Seaboard would record applicable deferred taxes for state or foreign withholding taxes.
Capital Expenditures and Other Investing Activities
During the nine months ended September 26, 2020, Seaboard invested $160 million in property, plant and equipment, of which $117 million was in the Pork segment, $23 million in the Power segment and the remaining amount in other segments. The Pork segment expenditures were primarily for completing the expansion of the Guymon pork processing plant and the modifications to the idle ethanol plant in Hugoton, Kansas. The Power segment expenditures were for its power generating barge under construction. All other capital expenditures were primarily of a normal recurring nature such as replacements of machinery and equipment and general facility modernizations and upgrades.
For the remainder of 2020, management has budgeted capital expenditures totaling $91 million. The Pork segment budgeted $70 million primarily for modifications to convert the Hugoton, Kansas plant to a renewable diesel production facility, with operations expected to begin in 2022. The remaining amount is planned to be spent in all other businesses. Management anticipates paying for these capital expenditures from a combination of available cash, the use of available short-term investments and Seaboard's available borrowing capacity.
From time to time, Seaboard may fund capital calls and issue borrowings for its equity method investments based on the specific facts and circumstances. During 2020, Seaboard contributed an aggregate of $7 million to two affiliates for working capital needs.
Financing Activities and Debt
As of September 26, 2020, Seaboard had short-term uncommitted lines of credit totaling $643 million and committed lines of credit totaling $350 million. During the second quarter of 2020, Seaboard entered into a committed line of credit agreement for $250 million of additional liquidity for working capital and general corporate purposes. There was $242 million and $29 million borrowed under the uncommitted and committed lines of credit, respectively, as of September 26, 2020. As of September 26, 2020, Seaboard had an unsecured term loan, which matures in 2028, with a balance of $688 million and $52 million of foreign subsidiary debt, denominated primarily in U.S. dollars and euros.
Management intends to continue seeking opportunities for expansion in the industries in which Seaboard operates, utilizing existing liquidity, available borrowing capacity and other financing alternatives. The terms and availability of such financing may be impacted by economic and financial market conditions, as well as Seaboard's financial condition and results of operations at the time Seaboard seeks such financing, and there can be no assurances that Seaboard will be able to obtain such financing on terms that will be acceptable or advantageous. Accordingly, management believes Seaboard's combination of internally generated cash, liquidity, capital resources and borrowing capabilities will be adequate for its existing operations and any currently known potential plans for expansion of existing operations.
Net sales for the three and nine month periods of 2020 decreased $18 million and increased $108 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The decrease for the three month period was primarily the result of lower volumes and prices for certain commodities in the CT&M segment, lower cargo volumes in the Marine segment, lower spot market rates and production in the Power segment and lower volumes and prices of alcohol sold in the Sugar and Alcohol segment, partially offset by higher volumes of pork products sold and biodiesel in the Pork segment. The increase for the nine month period was primarily the result of higher volumes for certain commodities in the CT&M segment and higher volumes of biodiesel, pork products and market hogs sold in the Pork segment, partially offset by lower cargo volumes in the Marine segment, lower spot market rates and production in the Power segment and lower volumes and prices of alcohol sold in the Sugar and Alcohol segment.
Operating income increased $35 million and $90 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The increase for the three month period primarily reflected federal blender's credits recognized in the Pork segment, lower fuel and other voyage costs in the Marine segment and higher margins in the CT&M segment, partially offset by higher SG&A costs in the Corporate office. The increase for the nine month period primarily reflected lower derivative contract losses and the federal blender's credits recognized in the Pork segment and higher margins on third-party sales in the CT&M segment, partially offset by lower revenues in the Power segment.
All of Seaboard's operations are considered "essential businesses" as defined by the respective governments and have continued to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic. While some of Seaboard's operations have seen recovery in their results in the third quarter of 2020, challenges remain. Seaboard continues to encounter partially staffed shifts, lock downs or curfews in some geographic regions, and the impacts from commodity market volatility. There still remains uncertainty about the expected length and impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on Seaboard's operations and the global economy. Seaboard continues to promote the safety and security of all of its employees.
Pork Segment
Net sales for the Pork segment increased $43 million and $62 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The increase for the three month period was primarily the result of recognition of $22 million in federal blender's credits for biodiesel production in the third quarter of 2020 and higher volumes of biodiesel and pork products sold, partially offset by lower prices on biodiesel and pork products sold. For the nine month period, the increase was primarily the result of the recognition of $55 million in federal blender's credits for biodiesel production in 2020, higher volumes and prices for market hogs and higher volumes of pork products sold, partially offset by lower prices of biodiesel and pork products, primarily in the foreign markets. In December 2019, the President of the U.S. signed into law the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act that extended the federal blender's credits through 2022. There were no federal blenders' credits recognized in the first nine months of 2019.
Operating income for the Pork segment increased $26 million and $78 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The increase for the three month period was primarily due to revenue recognized associated with the federal blender's credits, lower costs for feed and third-party hogs and a $14 million multi-employer pension withdrawal liability expense recorded during the third quarter of 2019. The increase for the nine month period was primarily due to revenue recognized associated with the federal blender's credits for the first nine months of 2020 and no derivative contract losses or expense related to the pension withdrawal liability discussed above, partially offset by lower biodiesel margins. Higher pork product sales and lower costs for feed and third-party hogs were offset by higher plant processing costs. Management is unable to predict future market prices for pork products, the cost of feed or third-party hogs, the prices of biodiesel or the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, management anticipates this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2020.
Loss from affiliates decreased $5 million and $16 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of Seaboard Triumph Foods, LLC ("STF") processing more hogs and utilizing more capacity. Seaboard has a 50% noncontrolling interest in STF, which operates a
pork processing plant located in Iowa. STF's operations began in September 2017 with the second shift commencing in October 2018.
CT&M Segment
Operating income as reported
Marked-to-market adjustments
Operating income excluding marked-to-market adjustments
Net sales for the CT&M segment decreased $33 million and increased $173 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The decrease for the three month period primarily reflected lower affiliate volumes and lower sales prices of certain commodities sold, partially offset by higher volumes of corn and other commodities sold to third-party customers. The increase for the nine month period primarily reflected higher volumes of certain commodities sold to third-party customers and higher soybean prices, partially offset by lower affiliate volumes and lower wheat and other commodity prices. Seaboard's CT&M segment acquired a business in October 2019, which overall increased third-party sales for the three and nine month periods of 2020.
Operating income for this segment increased $14 million and $32 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to higher margins on third-party sales, including from the business acquired in October 2019. Due to worldwide commodity price fluctuations, the uncertain political and economic conditions in the countries in which this segment operates, the volatility in the commodity markets and the ongoing impacts of the COVID- 19 pandemic, management is unable to predict future sales and operating results; however, management anticipates this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2020.
Had Seaboard not applied mark-to-market accounting to its derivative instruments, operating income for this segment would have been lower by $5 million and $7 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively. Operating income for this segment would have been higher by $2 million and lower by $2 million for the three and nine month periods of 2019, respectively. While management believes its commodity futures, options and foreign exchange contracts are primarily economic hedges of its firm purchase and sales contracts and anticipated sales contracts, Seaboard does not perform the extensive record-keeping required to account for these transactions as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, while the changes in value of the derivative instruments were marked-to-market, the changes in value of the firm purchase or sales contracts were not. As products are delivered to customers, these existing marked-to-market adjustments should be primarily offset by realized margins or losses as revenue is recognized over time, and these marked-to-market adjustments could reverse in 2020. Management believes eliminating these marked-to-market adjustments provides a more reasonable presentation to compare and evaluate period-to-period financial results for this segment.
Marine Segment
Income from affiliates
Net sales for the Marine segment decreased $12 million and $64 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The decrease for the three and nine month periods of 2020 was primarily the result of lower cargo volumes, partially offset by slightly higher freight rates due to a change in cargo mix with more refrigerated cargo volumes that generally have a higher freight rate. Seaboard's Marine segment results were significantly impacted in the second quarter of 2020 with a decrease of $67 million in sales compared to the same period in 2019 due to less demand with many of Marine's customers temporarily shut down due to government orders associated with COVID-19.
Operating income increased $16 million and decreased $5 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The increase for the three month period was primarily related to lower fuel costs due to the decrease in price and consumption and lower other voyage costs with fewer vessels in service. The decrease for the nine month period was primarily the result of lower revenues, partially offset by lower fuel costs due to the decrease in price and consumption, and lower voyage, terminal and intermodal trucking costs as a result of the overall decrease in cargo volumes. Management cannot predict changes in fuel costs, future cargo volumes and cargo rates or the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on market conditions, management anticipates this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2020.
Sugar and Alcohol Segment
Net sales for the Sugar and Alcohol segment decreased $5 million and $20 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The decrease for the three and nine month periods primarily reflected lower volumes and prices of alcohol sold due to lower demand. Higher sugar selling prices were offset by lower sales volumes of sugar sold. Sugar and alcohol sales are denominated in Argentine pesos, and an increase in local sales prices may be offset by exchange rate changes in the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar.
Operating loss for the Sugar and Alcohol segment remained the same and decreased $5 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. For the three month period, higher cogeneration margins and sugar prices were offset by lower margins on alcohol sales. The decrease for the nine month period primarily reflected lower selling, general and administrative expenses, higher sugar selling prices and higher margins on cogeneration sales, partially offset by lower margins on alcohol sales. Management cannot predict local sugar and alcohol prices, the volatility in the currency exchange rate or the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on market conditions, management currently cannot predict if this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2020.
Power Segment
Net sales for the Power segment decreased $9 million and $41 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The decrease for the three and nine month periods primarily reflected lower spot market rates and lower production.
Operating income for the Power segment decreased $6 million and $17 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The decrease for the three and nine month periods was due to lower revenues and higher maintenance costs, partially offset by lower fuel costs and consumption. Management cannot predict future fuel costs, the extent that spot market rates will fluctuate compared to fuel costs or other power producers or the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on market conditions, management currently cannot predict if this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2020.
Income from affiliates is lower as the Power segment sold its 29.9% noncontrolling interest in a Dominican Republic electricity generation facility during the third quarter of 2019.
Turkey Segment
The Turkey segment, accounted for using the equity method, represents Seaboard's investment in Butterball. The decrease in loss from affiliates for the three month period of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily the result of lower other operating costs, including reduced interest. The decrease in loss from affiliates for the nine month period of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to higher margins primarily due to lower feed and other live turkey operation growing costs and slightly higher selling prices with more value-added turkey products sold, partially offset by lower volumes of turkey products sold related to a decline in food service demand and higher plant costs primarily related to labor. Management is unable to predict future market prices for turkey products, the cost of feed or the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on market conditions, management currently cannot predict if this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2020.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $9 million and decreased $6 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The increase for the three month period was primarily due to higher personnel costs, including pension settlement expense as discussed in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, and higher deferred compensation plan costs due to capital market volatility. The decrease for the nine month period was primarily due to lower deferred compensation plan costs, partially offset a pension settlement expense. The deferred compensation plan costs are offset by the effect of the marked-to-market adjustments on investments recorded in other investment income (loss).
Interest expense decreased $3 million and $10 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates on outstanding debt and increased capitalized interest related to ongoing capital expenditure investments.
Other investment income, net increased $54 million for the three month period of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to unrealized gains on short-term investments due to capital market volatility. Other investment income, net decreased $193 million for the nine month period of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to unrealized losses on short-term investments, partially offset by $36 million of net realized gains.
Foreign currency losses, net increased $6 million and $24 million for the three and nine month periods of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019 primarily due to fluctuations in the euro, Zambian kwacha, South African rand and Argentine peso among fluctuations of other currency exchange rates in several foreign countries.
Income Tax Expense/Benefit
The effective tax rate for the three month period of 2020 decreased compared to the three month period of 2019 primarily due to a change in forecasted annual results and actual year-to-date results changing from a loss to profit. The effective tax rate for the nine month period of 2020 decreased compared to the nine month period of 2019 primarily due to increased tax exempt income from the federal blender's credits reinstated by Congress at the end of 2019 and lower forecasted earnings.
Seaboard is exposed to various types of market risks in its day-to-day operations. Primary market risk exposures result from changing commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices. Occasionally, Seaboard utilizes derivative instruments to manage these overall market risks. The nature of Seaboard's market risk exposure has not changed materially since December 31, 2019. Seaboard entered into interest rate swap agreements during 2020 with interest rates at historic lows reducing its exposure to interest rate risk. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures — Seaboard's management evaluated, under the direction of the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of Seaboard's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of September 26, 2020. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, Seaboard's Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Seaboard's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports it files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. It should be noted that any system of disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Due to these and other inherent limitations of any such system, there can be no assurance that any design will always succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Change in Internal Controls — There has been no change in Seaboard's internal control over financial reporting required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 26, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Seaboard's internal control over financial reporting.
For information related to Seaboard's legal proceedings, see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Except for the update to the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors as previously disclosed in Seaboard's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
(a)(3) Deterioration of Economic Conditions Could Negatively Impact Seaboard's Business. Seaboard's business may be adversely affected by changes in national or global economic conditions, including inflation, interest rates, availability of capital markets, consumer spending rates, energy availability and costs, impacts caused by pandemics and other public health emergencies, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects of governmental initiatives to manage economic conditions. Any such changes could adversely affect the demand for and production of Seaboard's meat products, grains, shipping services and other products, or the cost and availability of needed raw materials and packaging materials, thereby negatively affecting Seaboard's financial results. For example, Seaboard is monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has already caused a significant disruption to global financial markets and supply chains. The significance of the operational and financial impact to Seaboard will depend on how long and widespread this disruption proves to be. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts Seaboard's results will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and the actions that are being taken to contain and treat it. If economic or market conditions in key global markets deteriorate, Seaboard may experience material adverse effects on its business, financial condition and results of operations. The current national and global economic conditions, could, among other things:
● impair the financial condition of some of Seaboard's customers and suppliers, thereby increasing customer bad debts or non-performance by customers and suppliers;
● negatively impact global demand for protein and grain-based products, which could result in a reduction of revenues, operating income and cash flows;
● decrease the value of Seaboard's investments in equity and debt securities, including pension plan assets, causing losses that would adversely impact Seaboard's net earnings; and
● impair the financial viability of Seaboard's insurers.
(b)(4) The Loss of This Segment's Oklahoma Pork Processing Plant and the STF Plant Could Adversely Affect the Business. This segment is largely dependent on the continued operation of its Oklahoma pork processing plant and the STF plant. Seaboard provides approximately one-third of STF's hogs for processing and also markets substantially all pork products produced. The closure, loss of, or damage to these plants for any reason, including pandemic, fire, tornado, earthquake, or the occurrence of adverse governmental action could adversely affect the business of this segment. The closure, even temporarily, of these plants could have a material adverse effect on Seaboard's liquidity and financial results.
(b)(5) This Segment is Subject to Complex Laws and Regulations That May Adversely Affect the Revenues, Costs, Manner or Feasibility of Doing Business. Federal, state and local laws, and domestic and international regulations governing worker health and safety, environmental protection, food safety and animal health and welfare significantly affect this segment's operations. Some requirements applicable to this segment may also be enforced by citizen groups.
For example, operations and properties are subject to extensive and increasingly stringent laws and regulations pertaining to, among other things, odors, the discharge of materials into the environment and the handling and disposition of wastes (including solid and hazardous wastes) or otherwise relating to protection of the environment. In another example, the State of California enacted Proposition 12, the Farm Animal Confinement Initiative ("Proposition 12"), which will prohibit, after December 31, 2021, the sale within the State of California of uncooked pork produced from breeding sows or its offspring which have been confined in less than 24 square feet of usable floor space. The constitutionality of Proposition 12 is being challenged in two separate lawsuits pending in California. This segment is assessing Proposition 12 and the related costs of compliance, such as the additional capital expenditures that would be needed for construction of barns and pens provided for the requisite expanded animal spacing, in the event the constitutionality of Proposition 12 is upheld. If this segment is unable to comply with Proposition 12, Seaboard would not be able to sell uncooked pork products in California, which accounted for approximately 10% of its direct sales for the year ended December 31, 2019, in addition to indirect sales through further processor customers. If other pork processors similarly are unable to comply with Proposition 12 and cannot sell uncooked pork products in California, this could result in a significant oversupply of uncooked pork products being sold in locations other than California, which could result in a significant decline in the sales prices of such products.
Failure to comply with these laws and regulations and any future changes to them could result in significant consequences to Seaboard, including civil and criminal penalties, liability for damages, negative publicity and the inability to do business in certain locales.
There were no purchases of Seaboard's common stock made by or on behalf of Seaboard or any "affiliated purchaser" (as defined by applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) during the fiscal quarter ended September 26, 2020. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of Seaboard's share repurchase program.

Large tree branch at end of E. Benson (124 East Benson Street) has fallen blocking pathway. Needs to be removed. Tree is on city property.
Storm drain against the MARTA tracks is blocked by leaf debris. I've cleaned it off in the past, but needs to be added to the regular maintenance schedule.
This issue was recategorized from City Trees and Park Maintenance to Stormwater Issue.
Cleared the drain today, was a boggy mess. Could the city look after it from now on?
The railroad contractors came through Three months ago and cut down limbs off the trees on the side of the tracks. The trees are now rotting, turning brown and are both an eyesore and a fire hazard. Please have this area cleaned up all along the tracks either by city of Decatur staff or get the railroad contractor back to finish the job.
It is unsightly once again. What kind of schedule, routine do our landscape crews have? How many crew members do we actually have?
Interestingly enough we were in Greenwood SC and they have Six horticulturalist on staff. Educated and trained. That is is a tiny city. And lovely.
Where does our money go? What about Legacy Park. That expense and need for workers has not even begun.
Thank you for your feedback. This situation was created by CSX Railroad and we have been contacting the Roadmaster for this section of line requesting CSX to return and clean up the debris. We will continue working to get this resolved.
Thank you for staying on top of it. I'll be bringing it up at the next Commissioners Meeting because it is just too long for this mess. CSX should have a crew running debris through the wood chipper at the same time or the next day they cut the limbs down.
Oakhurst Park gazebo rebuild has seemingly been abandoned in mid-build. It's been like this for about a month to month and a half. All the debris from the old one is still on site. Is this ever I'm going to be finished?


The actual ceasefire line, which is controlled by the militia, lies outside of Debaltsevo, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"The actual ceasefire line lies outside of Debaltseve because this line is controlled by the militia. There were many statements by DPR top officials on that […] If everything stopped and calmed down, we could begin negotiations on how to get the Ukrainian servicemen out to enable them to leave this encirclement," Lavrov told a briefing in Moscow on Wednesday.
Lavrov said that "attempts are being made [by Kyiv] to break through the encirclement instead of negotiations." Lavrov reiterated that Russia is alarmed by the situation in the "Debaltsevo encirclement" area. "We are saddened by what is going on there," he said.
Lavrov recalled that "the first thing" that Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested in the February 12 Minsk negotiations was "to reach an agreement on the settlement of the situation with Debaltsevo."
"He then shared our information that a large group of Ukrainian troops were encircled in the Debaltsevo area, saying that everything needed to be done to enable those people to leave the encirclement, leave with dignity, naturally, leaving their hardware behind because the militia would definitely not allow that, understanding that the heavy weapons would leave the encirclement and would turn around and continued opening fire on populated area," Lavrov said.
Lavrov said Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said in Minsk on February 11 that "this problem [Debaltsevo encirclement] did not exist and there was no encirclement."
"Our additional attempts to discuss and reach an understanding on how to resolve this problem failed. And what happened, happened: the encirclement was there, as we expected, at 00:00 on Saturday (February 15)," Lavrov said.
The Donbas militia would not object to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko's proposal on brokering the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Debaltsevo, if such a proposal has really been made, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"It seems to me that, if such a proposal has been made, the militia wouldn't object to it," Lavrov said at a press conference following negotiations with South Ossetian Foreign Minister David Sanakoyev, when asked by a journalist to comment on Lukashenko's statement that Minsk could offer security guarantees for Ukrainian troops' pullout of Debaltseve.
Lavrov noted at the same time that he had not heard about Lukashenko's proposal himself. "I believe any proposals that could help do this deserve support, certainly if the Ukrainian authorities themselves agree to this," he added.
"We are calling on everyone once again now, including in Debaltsevo, to stop firing. Yes, there are people who have been encircled there, but let's resolve their fate through negotiations, thinking primarily about human lives," Lavrov said.
It was reported earlier that Lukashenko had offered Minsk's guarantees on ending the fighting in the area of Debaltsevo and pulling Ukrainian troops out of it.

Cops still hunting for Mayfair Mall shooter in Wisconsin – New York Post
Police are still searching for a man who opened fire at a shopping mall outside Milwaukee Friday afternoon, injuring eight people.
The shooter, a white man in his 20s or 30s, slipped away from the Mayfair Mall in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, after what police said was "an altercation" near an entrance to the Macy's at the mall. He was gone by the time police arrived on the scene.
"Preliminary investigation has led us to believe that this shooting was not a random act, and was the result of an altercation," police said, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal reported.
The injured included seven adults and one teenager. The extent of their injuries was unknown, but no fatalities were reported as of late Friday, according to Wisconsin Public Radio.
Investigators were expected to spend the night at the mall, which will be closed Saturday. The FBI Milwaukee office tweeted that it was responding to the incident on Friday.

How do you navigate a world where the partial or complete absence of pigment in your skin and eyes marks you as a lucky charm or a vital ingredient in cooking up a supernatural concoction? That's what Peda Studio's upcoming title, Under the Sun will explore.
Written by Austine Osas, Peda's new offering is a story highlighting the plight of persons with albinism in Africa. Set in Zamia (a fictional African nation), Under The Sun draws attention to the dangers faced by persons with albinism in Africa, a continent where magic, supernatural beliefs and witchcraft thrive and "albinos" supposedly fuel the potency of those magics.
The comic will give readers a backseat into two kids' lives as they endure the pressure of a society that wrongfully believes them to be gifted with "luck" in a time of war, as they lose their homes, families and friends.
According to the creator and writer, Austine Osas, Under The Sun is "our way of drawing attention to the pain and injustice meted out to persons with albinism based solely on the colour of their skin". He echoes the universal fact that, "persons with albinism are normal people like you and me who want to be treated equally with respect".
In December 2011, investigative journalists, Anas Amereyaw Anas (Ghana) and Richard Mgamba (Tanzania) together with Isaack Timothy and Al-Jazeera News released a harrowing documentary investigating the sinister trade in the body parts of albinos murdered in Tanzania.
According to the report accompanying the documentary, "albinos have traditionally faced discrimination and prejudice – innocent victims of a still widespread belief that the condition is in some way associated with the supernatural.
To some, a white-skinned African person is seen as a kind of phantom or ghost, who rather than die will dissolve or disappear with the wind and rain. As a result, in some communities, albinos have been feared, shunned and socially marginalised".
Austine was inspired to write Under the Sun by the killings of persons with albinism in countries like Tanzania, Malawi and just recently South Africa. The comic was written with background info from the Albino Foundation (Nigeria) and Under The Same Sun Foundation, an international NGO that promotes the well-being of persons with albinism using advocacy and education.
Speaking further about the project he reiterated that the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights says that the body parts are traded in a lucrative market for use in witchcraft. Reported prices range from $2,000 for a limb to $75,000 for a corpse.
Under the Sun, a poetic title that embodies humanity follows in the footsteps of Dunamis (which tackles a similar theme), Lake of Tears and Karmzah which use the fluid comic book medium to tell critical stories and bringer them closer to home.
Under the Sun employs the talents of Austine Osas (writer & creator), Abiodun Awodele (writer), Yusuf Temitope (art), Nsia Ndidi (colours & cover art) and Peter Daniel (lettering).
Under The Sun is available to read on pedacomics.com and other platforms (print and digital format).

DC Water Chief Urges Agriculture Secretary Not to Allow Fracking Near D.C.
by Aaron Wiener September 20th, 2013 September 26th, 2020
The Potomac River supplies D.C.'s drinking water.
D.C.'s water supply could be threatened by natural gas extraction in the George Washington National Forest, and the people ensured with keeping what comes out of your tap safe are not letting it happen without a fight.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about a letter sent by Tom Jacobus, managing director of the Washington Aqueduct, to the U.S. Forest Service urging against allowing hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in the forest when the process could lead to the contamination of D.C.'s drinking water. "Although studies on the technique are still needed in order to fully understand the potential impact on drinking water," Jacobus wrote, "enough study on the technique has been done and information has been published to give us great cause for concern about the potential for degradation of the quality of our raw water supply as well as impact to the quantity of the supply."
Now DC Water General Manager George Hawkins is getting in on the action, and going straight to the top. Last week, he wrote a letter to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, whose department oversees the Forest Service.
"It is my hope that U.S. Forest Service will prohibit horizontal drilling in the George Washington National Forest until it can be proven that the practice will not negatively impact water quality," Hawkins wrote in a letter obtained by Washington City Paper. "We do not believe that sufficient proof exists at this point to support horizontal drilling in such an important part of the watershed."
Hawkins' full letter is reprinted below.

Red Dog Casino Review for Trustworthiness, Legitimacy & More in 2023


Sheherazade, whose life depended upon her ability to turn out one tale after another, night after Arabian night, would, I am sure, have approved of my devoting most of my life to story-telling. Although in no danger of being executed for failing to meet deadline, my life has in many ways depended upon my story-telling abilities, which have been the best and only way in which I have been able to make a living and also choose the place of my abode, the foothills of Himalayas.
I am fortunate to be living and working in the mountains, in full view of the majestic snow peaks of the furthest Himalayan ranges those same peaks where the gods and goddesses of Hindu mythology have their abode. And I am doubly fortunate in being able to look down from the mountains upon the plains of India, a melting pot of races and religions, where so much has happened and it is an atmosphere and this book is designed to give the reader the feel of India and recapture some of its old magic.
RUSKIN BOND'S first novel, The Room on the Roo], written when he was seventeen, won the John Llewellyn Rhys Memorial Prize in 1957. Since then he has written several novellas (including vagrants in the Valley, A Flight if Pigeons and Delhi Is Not Far), essays, poems and children's books. He has also written over 500 short stories and articles that have appeared in a number of magazines and anthologies. He received the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1993 for Our Trees Still Grow in Dehra, a collection of short stories, and the Padma Shri in 1999.
Sheherazade, whose life depended upon her ability to turn out one tale after another, night after Arabian night, would, I am sure, have approved of my devoting most of my life to story-telling. Although in no danger of being executed for failing to meet a deadline (could that be how the word came into being?), my life has in many ways depended upon my story-telling abilities, which have been the best and only way in which I have been able to make a living and also choose the place of my abode, the foothills of the Himalayas.
For over twenty five years, ever since I was a boy out of school in Simla, I have been a professional teller of tales short stories, tall stories, folk stories, true stories, unfinished stories… I am still long way from Sheherazade's thousand and one tales, but then, I haven't had the executioner's axe poised over me, spurrng me on: only the rent to pay and books to buy and an occasional chicken for my supper, prepared by Prem Singh, who cooks chickens better than I write stories. Prem and his family live with me, and it is his children, and their demands for stories, that keep me inventing new tales or digging up old ones such as those in this collection.
My early stories, written when I was in my twenties, were about my own childhood in India and some of the people in knew as I grew up. Then, in my thirties, I wrote about other Indian children some of them are in The Road to the Bazar, also published by Julia MacRae. Now in my forties, I find myself going even further back in time, to the young heroes and heroines, Gods and Demons, of myth, legend and folklore although my father was British, I grew up an Indian, and have always cherished the literature of both east and west. There has been no division of lyoalites; only a double inheritance.
Some of the responsibility for my interest in folklore must lie (literally) at the door of the mother of my friend Anil Singh, whose ancestral home is in a village not far from Agra. Long before I came to "dwell in Himalayan country" (to use a phrase from the Jataka), I spent a winter in my friend's village in the plains, where I soon discovered that his mother had at her command a great store of folklore, and there was nothing she liked better than to tell me stories in the evening gloam at "cow-dust time", that brief Indian twilight before she went indoors to prepare our dinner. She would recline on a string cot in the courtyard, puffing at a hookah, recounting old tales of ghosts, fairies and other familiars. Two or three of these tales appear in this collection. There were more; but room had to be made for a wider selection tales representative of different parts of the country, of followers of different faiths, of tribal peoples, kings and commoners. I have leant heavily on the great Hindu religious epic, the Mahabharata, in which so many enchanting stories are found; on the Buddhist fables in the Jataka; and on the early renderings of pioneering folklorists, Indian and British. In a selection of Notes, which I have compiled with as much care as I have retold the stories, I have given the sources and the background to the tales and legends.
I am fortunate to be living and working in the mountains, in full view of the majestic snow-peaks of the furthest Himalayan ranges those same peaks where the gods and goddesses of Hindu mythology have their abode. And I am doubly fortunate in being able to look down from the mountains upon the plains of India, a melting pot of races and religious, where so much has happened, and still happens, to excite the mind and this book is designed to give the reader the feel of India and recapture some of its old magic.

10 Scenic Spots on Long Island To Visit With Your Valentine

Plan your Valentine's Day date al fresco at these scenic destinations. (Getty Images)
This year's considerations for where to spend Valentine's Day with your partner may be a bit different than in the past. It's one of the biggest nights for dining out, but with restaurants limiting capacity, reservations may be harder to come by.
So what other romantic options are there? Luckily on Long Island, love is in the air — fresh air, that is — at many of its picturesque parks, beaches, and other outdoor spaces. And as everyone knows, chilly weather and huddling up together a great date make.
Couples, bring blankets and maybe even a picnic basket, and head down to one of these 10 scenic Long Island destinations this Valentine's Day.
Fire Island Lighthouse
To start, nothing beats the views from the top of the Fire Island Lighthouse, accessible from Robert Moses State Park Field 5. The walk itself over to the historic structure is a nice photo op. But that's just the beginning. The spiral climb to the top of the lighthouse is a fun couples activity with a breathtaking reward.
Village of Sea Cliff
Here's a little-known corner of the Island. Sea Cliff's western edge has several nooks and crannies where you and your date can take a stroll or snuggle up in front of great views. The corner of The Boulevard and Cliff Way is a good place to start; you'll find a small balcony there with a bench overlooking the water.
Elevate yourself by walking up Bay Road, where the actual "cliff" of Sea Cliff is at its highest. You can also visit Memorial Park, head down to the beach, or walk into Sea Cliff's Victorian district, where you'll find different kinds of scenery in the charming houses — all good options.
The Walking Dunes
Exploring Montauk's walking dunes is another scenic adventure to go on this Valentine's Day. Along the shore of Hither Hills State Park, there are hiking trails among the sand dunes, which shift with the wind. The park also has lots of other nature-filled spots as well as places to sit and take it all in, such as picnic tables and firepits.
Planting Fields
There's lots to see at Planting Fields estate in Oyster Bay, from sweeping lawns to greenhouses to historic buildings that you can tour. Either make a reservation for a tour or visit between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. if you just want to walk the grounds.
Long Beach Boardwalk
With plenty of benches facing the beach over the 4.3-mile stretch, the boardwalk in the City of Long Beach is a great place to sit back, relax, and watch the sun set over the crashing ocean waves. Plus, the popular spot is sure to be much less crowded in mid-February than in the warmer months, making it an ideal scene for you and your other half.
Bayard Cutting Arboretum
This arboretum in Great River has plenty of nature trails and well-kept gardens that make for lovely scenery. After working up an appetite from walking through the "museum of trees," as the Bayard website calls it, you and your sweetheart can stop by the cafe for a bite to eat.
Norman J. Levy Park & Preserve
Located right on the bay in Merrick, Norman J. Levy Park & Preserve is a quaint spot to bring your valentine to. The park's gazebo and long fishing pier are both nice areas in which to unwind and spend quality time together.
Hempstead Lake
You and your partner can cozy up by this large lake that stretches from Lakeview at its southwest end to Hempstead at its northeast end. There's a trail that runs all along the edges of the lake, and Hempstead Lake State Park has a few additional ponds along the route.
Sunken Meadow State Park
Enjoy the expansive views of Long Island Sound from Sunken Meadow State Park in Kings Park. The walking trails and footbridges over the Nissequogue River are also picturesque places for couples to explore together and make the most of Valentine's Day 2021.
Love Lane in Mattituck
You can quite literally take a stroll down Love Lane on this street in Mattituck, conveniently located in walking distance from the Mattituck Long Island Rail Road station. This quaint strip of shops and restaurants is sure to be decked out for Valentine's Day and make the perfect atmosphere for your date.
Love Lane is home to The Village Cheese Shop and Cafe, Bauer's Love Lane Shoppe antique store, Love Lane Sweet Shoppe, Mattituck Florists, Lombardi's Love Lane Market, and Mint Clothing Boutiques, just to name a few. There's also several places to eat in the area, and it's close to the Mattituck inlet, another scenic spot by the waterfront.
