Toshio Suzuki (jap. , Suzuki Toshio; * 10. März 1955 in der Präfektur Saitama) ist ein japanischer Autorennfahrer.

Karriere

Monopostorennen
Als Toshio Suzuki 1993 sein Debüt in der Formel 1 gab, war der Japaner schon 38 Jahre alt. Beim Großen Preis von Japan und beim Rennen in Australien ersetzte er bei Larrousse den Franzosen Philippe Alliot. Suzuki war in Japan ein sehr populärer Fahrer und sein Engagement in der Formel 1 war eine große Genugtuung für ihn, obwohl er bei beiden Rennen mit großem Rückstand ins Ziel kam.

Schon 1979 war Suzuki japanischer Formel-3-Meister geworden und sicherte sich 1995 den Gesamtsieg in der heimischen Formel-3000-Meisterschaft.

Sportwagenrennen
Große Erfolge feierte er aber vor allem im Sportwagen. Er war Werksfahrer bei Toyota und Nissan. Vor allem als Partner von Kazuyoshi Hoshino wurde er zu einer bestimmenden Größe in der japanischen GT-Meisterschaft. Mit Hoshino und Masahiro Hasemi siegte er 1992 beim 24-Stunden-Rennen von Daytona. Es war der erste All-Japan-Crew-Sieg bei einem großen internationalen Sportwagenrennen.

Auch in Le Mans fuhr der Japaner starke Rennen. Im Toyota GT-One wurde er 1998 Neunter und pilotierte den Wagen 1999 gemeinsam mit Ukyō Katayama und Keiichi Tsuchiya an die zweite Stelle der Gesamtwertung.

What are the fastest horse breeds in the world? There are over 300 breeds that are bred and trained for different purposes across various fields ranging from sports, agriculture, entertainment, warfare, and therapy.
This breed is known for their high level of competitiveness due to their hot-blooded nature which makes them perfect for racing or speed events.
With proper care and training they are quick, agile, powerful, due to their slim and tall body structure, and are often regarded as one of the most popular breeds in the world.
They're used in almost all speed events ranging from barrel racing to 3-day eventing.
This breed is known for their sprinting speed, versatility and adaptability.
The Quarter Horse is believed to have covered over 55 miles per hour within quarter-mile distances and is used in all western events.
Its ability to learn and adapt to different temperaments from individuals makes it unique and are often used for ranch work, as well as lower level show jumping and eventing.
They are not the fastest horses but their endurance level makes them stand-out and last longer in races compared to other breeds.
Their ability to conserve their energy while running make them one of the best breeds for endurance competitions. They are often hailed for their intelligence as they have the ability to outsmart their riders/owners.
With a similar build to a Thoroughbred, their speed comes from its strong shoulders and hindquarters.
They are often referred to as a man's best friend due to their friendly nature, and often go on to make excellent partners for amateur riders after their harness racing career.
They can excel in lower level show jumping, eventing, barrel racing and are good all-round competitors.
Originally used for hunting, due to their speed, strength, endurance and durability, they are now popular across many disciplines.
Its colorful coat makes it unique compared to other breeds and they are known for their intelligence and quick learning skills.
Because of their small, compact size, they make great mounts for children.
Do you own or ride one of these fastest horse breeds?


Observers around the world (at least those who who were blessed with clear skies) were able to look up yesterday and view our neighboring planet Venus as it passed directly between us and the Sun. This rare event will not reoccur for another 105 years. Scientists used the six-hour transit as an opportunity to perform experiments, helping refine techniques to observe and measure distant exoplanets. Gathered here are images of yesterday's event, seen from from orbit and from here on Earth.

2022 Calendar 2022 Holidays
January 2022 February 2022
Calendar The Julian Calendar
The Julian Calendar
The Julian Calendar, also known as the Old Style Calendar, was established by Julius Caesar in 46 BC, to replace the Roman calendar which was in use.
It was the official calendar in the Roman Empire and the Western world until 1582, when it was replaced by the Gregorian Calendar.
Today, the Julian Calendar is still used by the Eastern Orthodox Church and in Oriental Orthodoxy.
Origins and History of the Julian Calendar
Before the Julian Calendar was implemented, the calendar in use in the Roman Empire was the Roman Calendar. This calendar had 12 months and 355 days. Because the Roman Calendar was a Lunar Calendar, it was based on the moon phases, and a group of pontifices would have to observe the moon to decide when to add an extra 27-or-28 day month to keep the calendar in sync with the Seasons of the year. This process was very random, and sometimes corrupted by politicians, and although it was meant to be put in place every two to three years, there would be long periods of time without an intercalary month.
This resulted in the Roman Calendar drifting a few years from the tropical year, and because the intercalations were determined at random times many citizens did not know what day it was in the calendar.
Julius Caesar set out to reform the Roman Calendar, and create a more standardized and accurate civil calendar for the Roman Empire. After consulting with astronomer Sosigenes, it was decided that a Solar calendar - based on the Earth's orbit around the Sun, and without human intervention - would be the best option.
Together, they determined that a year should be 365.25 days long. To realign the calendar with the tropical year, Caesar added 67 days to the year 46 B.C., and started the New Year, 45 B.C. on January 1st instead of March. They also introduced leap years, where an extra day would be added every four years, so that the calendar would not fall out of sync with the Seasons.
How does the Julian Calendar work?
Similarly to the Gregorian Calendar, a year in the Julian Calendar has 365 days, divided into 12 months.
Ianuarius 31
Februarius 28 (29 on leap years.)
Martius 31
Aprilis 30
Maius 31
Iunius 30
Iulius 31
Originally, the months of Iulius and Augustus were called Quintilis and Sextilis. After Julius Caesar was murdered in 44 B.C., Mark Anthony named the month Quintilis after him. The month Sextilis was named Augustus after Caesar's successor. To honor both leaders, the Senate determined that both months should have 31 days. For this to happen, one day was removed from Februaris, and added to Augustus.
The difference between the Julian Calendar and the Gregorian Calendar
Even though a year in the Julian Calendar was closer in length to a tropical year than the Roman calendar, Julius Caesar still miscalculated the length of a year by 11 minutes. Like it happened with its predecessor, this difference caused the calendar to fall out of sync with the seasons, which affected the dates of important celebrations, such as Easter.
The main difference between the Gregorian and the Julian calendars is the year length. In the Gregorian Calendar, one year is more accurately calculated as being 365.2425 days long. The creators of the Gregorian Calendar also came up with a more precise way of calculating Leap Years.
You can learn more about the Gregorian Calendar here.
Celebrations in the Julian Calendar
The Julian Calendar is still used by the Orthodox Church as their civil and religious calendar. As such, many of their major celebrations fall on different dates of the common year than those observed by the rest of the Western world.
Here are the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar:
Orthodox Christmas is celebrated on January 7.
Orthodox New Year, also known as Old New Year, is celebrated on January 14.
Orthodox Easter is celebrated on May 2nd, 2021.

Q: struct' declared inside parameter list with a header file I have a simple header file with the following code:
#include < stdio.h >
#include < pthread.h >

void init(struct prodcons * b);

void put(struct prodcons * b, int data);

int get(struct prodcons * b);

void * producer(void * data);

void * consumer(void * data);

when I compile the terminal give this four warnings:
producer_consumer.h:4:18: aviso: 'struct prodcons' declared inside parameter list [enabled by default]
producer_consumer.h:4:18: aviso: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want [enabled by default]
producer_consumer.h:6:17: aviso: 'struct prodcons' declared inside parameter list [enabled by default]
producer_consumer.h:8:16: aviso: 'struct prodcons' declared inside parameter list [enabled by default]

A: You need to declare struct prodcons somewhere. Right now there's no declaration for it, so the compiler is inferring it.
Presumably you have a declaration for this in another file -- if it's in another header, add an #include directive for it to the top of this .h file, before all the functions that use it.

A: The compiler complains about the missing declaration of "struct prodcons". You have to include a header file that actually gives a declaration of that struct, or you have to insert a forward declaration of that struct, like just writing:
struct prodcons;

A: struct prodcons has not been defined anywhere. You need to define it before those prototypes, or #include a header file that defines it.
Since the parameter list is the first time the compiler has seen struct prodcons, it assumes that you are declaring it there (which makes no sense).

Several school districts' budgets across Ohio changed quickly with Gov. John Kasich's vetoes to the budget last week. The legislature had been working heavily constructing the states' biennial budget proposal that contained significant provisions to school district funding. However, Gov. Kasich's 44 line-item vetoes to the state budget bill, House Bill 64, resulted in about $78.3 million cut to public school funding and removal of funding guarantees to several wealthier school districts.
"Guarantee" refers to protected funding school districts receive no matter what the state's funding formula says, so schools do not see their basic state funding cut from year to year. While guarantees serve as a comfortable cushion for districts, they mitigate fair funding formulas potential to improve achievement outcomes for disadvantaged students. Both guarantees and caps-a districts' ceiling on funding increases year over year-conserve districts' funding levels, which do not reflect current student population or its ability to raise local revenue. After years of these guarantees being in place in Ohio, Gov. Kasich and his education advisers labeled them as unsustainable beyond this two-year budget and wanted to study how to wean districts off of them.
The governor's "wean" method entailed deleting the guarantees and a tangible personal property (TPP) reimbursement supplement for certain districts. Gov. Kasich explained that these payments to the "richest districts" were not in the public interest. Olentangy Local Schools, one of the states' wealthier school districts, saw its state funding reduced by $4.3 million from what it would have received under the budget as passed by the legislature.
TPP reimbursement supplements for certain wealthier districts were vetoed only for the second year of the biennium. This removal means there will be more money for districts with less capacity to raise funds on their own and less money for districts with declining enrollments. Kasich's veto message explained his motives were to divert resources to lower capacity school districts and restore the TPP law to its original intent-to be declining and temporary. This reimbursement accounts for five percent or more of the budgets in 88 school districts, according to the Coalition for Fiscal Fairness in Ohio.
Additionally, the budget allocates more than $20 billion over the two year period, which is the highest level on record. The legislation increases per-pupil funding by $100 annually-$5,900 in fiscal '16 and $6,000 in '17. State Superintendent Richard Ross also said the budget includes incentives for expanding career technical programs, an extra $40 million for early childhood education, $10 million for larger classes enabling high school students to earn college credit and incentives for higher graduation and reading proficiency rates. Ross did not have details on how the governor's vetoes would affect overall state funding and the Ohio State Department of Education will not compile funding totals for districts until after the start of the new school year.
State Director of StudentsFirst Ohio Greg Harris explained that members who are teachers currently have to readdress student needs through Individual Education Plans to secure extra support. Fully implementing a weighted student formula indexed against poverty would allow for extra resources, such as teachers aides and reading specialists. In turn, these resources would benefit students based off their individual needs and produce successful outcomes to improve achievement gaps.
Gov. Kasich's vetoes intended to perfect their student formula by directing more funding to school districts that need support are steps in the right direction for providing opportunity to all students. Ultimately, Ohio needs to develop a transparent weighted funding formula that has set appropriate amounts and relies less on local property taxes to support students who endure the greatest barriers to learning. A highly effective school funding formula would not have to rely on guarantees, but rather on its own methodology to spend state resources to produce the most equitable education for Ohio's students.

Moinian Group Targeting $350M in EB-5 Capital for 3 Hudson Boulevard
By Cathy Cunningham	February 6, 2018 4:52 pm
3 Hudson Boulevard. Rendering : Moinian Group
George Washington Immigration Group aims to provide between $250 million and $350 million in EB-5 financing for Moinian Group's 3 Hudson Boulevard, Commercial Observer can first report.
SEE ALSO: The Moinian Group Branches Out: How Tech And Lending Augment Their Vast Portfolio
The financing will be provided through George Washington Immigration Group's regional center EB-5 investment program, which structures investments as limited partnerships.
Moinian broke ground on the $2 billion project—set to occupy the entire block between 11th Avenue and Hudson Boulevard Park from West 34th Street to West 35th Street—at the end of last year. The 53-story, 2-million-square-foot office tower is scheduled for delivery by 2021 and will be funded through a mix of debt, equity and EB-5 funding.
"George Washington Immigration Group is a first-class organization with team members who have a tremendous track record in the EB-5 industry," Joseph Moinian, the chief executive officer of Moinian Group, said. "Construction of 3 Hudson Boulevard is already underway. We are excited to bring this elegant tower to completion, becoming a permanent fixture of the Far West Side and the New York City skyline."

The Real Deal first reported that Moinian Group was seeking up to $500 million in EB-5 financing last November.
"We are proud to be a part of this fantastic Hudson Yards District development," said Evan Stoopler, the founder of George Washington Immigration Group. Steven Anapoell, a managing partner at the company, helped structure and implement other significant EB-5 financings, including Hudson Yards for Related Companies and 30 Park Place for Silverstein Properties.
In an interview with CO last year, Joseph Moinian described 3 Hudson Boulevard as the flagship of the company's 11th Avenue developments—which rack up 4 million square feet in total. Moinian has been acquiring development sites in, what is now, the Far West Side for over 20 years.
When completed, 3 Hudson Boulevard will stand at over 900 feet tall and have 360-degree views of the Hudson River, Central Park and the Empire State Building.

Bayou buc. you are correct about why UCLA can not come to Greenville
California banned all state funded agencies (including universities) from traveling to NC due to the bathroom bill. Even when the compromise was made later on so that the NBA all star would come to Charlotte, California said that it was not good enough until there is written protection in the bathroom bill. From what I understand UCLA said they would make a return trip to ECU when the ban is lifted.
Basically this means state funded schools like UCLA, Cal Bears, San Diego St Aztecs, UC-Irvine, Cal State Fullerton can not come to Greenville to play.
However, private California universities such as Pepperdine, Stanford, Southern California, and University of San Diego Toreros(a private Catholic University) etc could come to Greenville to play us, as they are not state funded.

Nevada MO musician Stephan Moses will be playing at Common Ground Coffee shop,12 East Wall Street on Feb. 10 from 7 to 8 p.m.
This is a Valentines Day Concert, so bring a special someone.
"He will be playing Jazz music and performing love songs by Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra," said Common Ground's Event Coordinator Stacy Racy. "All age groups are welcome to come out and spend their Friday evening with us."
Stacy Racy from her Facebook page. Racy is the new events coordinator at Common Ground Coffee shop.
Racy's goal is to utilize the beautiful facility while giving the community something to do on Friday Night, Racy said.
"So often we hear people say they have never been in the building and we would like to change that by offering good coffee, pastries, food, concerts, catering, and by renting out the dock area and conference room," Racy said.
About Stephan Moses
Stephan Moses was born in rural Northwest Iowa and came from a non-musical family. Since the age of ten, he's been playing guitar and has a diverse musical background with influences from Crooner's to Blues greats, according to Racy. As a singer, songwriter, musician, Moses has a love for Gospel music and Delta Blues. Mostly, he just loves to play. Moses currently resides in Nevada, MO.

f Someone Won't Get a Pap Test for Themselves, They Should Get One for their Family
TOPEKA – Governor Laura Kelly proclaims January as Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. Through a partnership with Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), Kansans are urged to get pap tests for cervical cancer to reduce long-term cancer risks. Free or low-cost screening test through the KDHE Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program is available for eligible women at average risk who also do not have health insurance and meet income guidelines.
There are many things a person can do for the ones they love; and they should make screening and preventing cervical cancer one of them. On average, 100 women in Kansas are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year, and half of those are diagnosed as late stage. If caught early, cervical cancers are treatable.
Anne Zajic is a mother of three active little girls and a loving wife. "I remember feeling as though the room was spinning when I learned I had cervical cancer," says Zajic. "I have been cancer free for more than five years and encourage others to get the HPV vaccine and tests regularly because cervical cancer is a very preventable illness and one that I hope my daughters won't have to experience."
Newly released data shows that 83.9% of women are up to date in cervical cancer screening. But screening must begin at 21 and follow the schedule recommended by a health care provider. The goal in Kansas is that 90% of women will be up to date in cervical cancer screening by 2027.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening for cervical cancer:
Every 3 years with cervical cytology for women aged 21 to 65, or
Every 5 years with primary HPV testing (an HPV test that is done by itself for screening) or HPV-Pap co-testing for women aged 30 to 65.
Recommended screening beginning at age 21 is the most effective way to prevent cervical cancer. For more information about cervical cancer, visit kdhe.ks.gov/816.

Kansas Homeowner Assistance Fund closing soon
Homeowners in need of assistance encouraged to apply now
TOPEKA – The Kansas Homeowner Assistance Fund (KHAF), a federally funded, temporary emergency program to support homeowners experiencing hardship during the COVID pandemic, has disbursed nearly all program funds and will close soon. The program has entered Final Funding stage, the first of three closure phases. Homeowners in need of assistance are encouraged to apply now, while funding is still available.
"The economic impact of the pandemic continues to be felt by families and communities across the state," said Ryan Vincent, Executive Director of Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC), which administers the KHAF program. "This assistance has provided housing stability and preserved the dream of homeownership for more than 3000 Kansas families in need."
KHAF was established with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to help qualifying Kansas homeowners get current on their mortgage payments and avoid foreclosure. Eligible homeowners at least 30 days past-due on mortgage and/or property taxes can receive payment assistance for mortgages, utility bills, property taxes, and other charges associated with delinquency. Since the program launched in April 2022, KHAF has provided $39,886,389 to 3,549 households.
The closure process will follow three phases. Here's what this means for Kansas homeowners in need of assistance:
1. Final Funding Phase: Homeowners seeking KHAF support should apply as soon as possible to be considered for final funding.
2. Hold Phase: Once the program receives enough applications to fully expend all KHAF funds, approval of new applications and recertifications will be subject to availability of remaining funds. Applications submitted during Hold Phase will be placed on hold and will not be reviewed or processed unless sufficient program funds are available.
3. Closure Phase: When all program funds are exhausted the program will close and will stop accepting new applications.
The KHAF program is now in Final Funding Phase. The length and dates of each phase will be subject to a variety of factors, including application volume and amount of assistance requested. Each program closure phase will be announced on the KHAF webpage.
For more questions, applicants can reach KHAF customer service at 855-307-KHAF (5423), or review the KHAF closure FAQs. KHRC's ongoing housing programs will continue to serve Kansans beyond the closure of the KHAF program.
The KHAF program is administered by Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC), a self-supporting, nonprofit, public corporation committed to helping Kansans access the safe, affordable housing they need and the dignity they deserve. KHRC serves as the state's housing finance agency, administering essential housing and community programs to serve Kansans.

Governor Kelly Announces $4 Million Planning Grant to Advance Statewide
Early Childhood System
TOPEKA – Governor Laura Kelly announced today that the Kansas Children's Cabinet and Trust Fund has been awarded a $4 million 2023 Preschool Development Birth through Five Planning Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families. The grant will support the state's ongoing efforts to bolster the early childhood workforce, support the physical and emotional well-being of our children, and ensure we design an early childhood system that meets the needs of all Kansas families.
"We know that a child's development from birth to five years of age is vital to their trajectory in education and in life," Governor Laura Kelly said. "This funding will allow us to plan and build upon initiatives that strengthen our integrated early childhood system, with a special focus on ensuring our most vulnerable children are prepared for kindergarten."
The grant will support:
A study on how to better coordinate the state's delivery of early childhood services to create a more streamlined system that is easy for all families to navigate, especially low-income and vulnerable populations.
Exploration of a service delivery model that empowers families to be part of designing a responsive early childhood care and education system and holding the system accountable.
Strengthening the early childhood sector's workforce recruitment and growth.
Exploration of a compensation reform plan based on the true cost of care, market conditions, and the economic growth Kansas is experiencing.
"As a recipient of federal funding in 2018 and a three-year renewal grant in 2020, Kansas has amplified and expanded a continuum of services and supports to better meet the needs of Kansas children and their families," Melissa Rooker, Executive Director of the Kansas Children's Cabinet, said. "We are excited to receive this new award which will allow us to take stock of our progress and design a future that ensures all Kansas children can thrive,"
To learn more about the progress of Kansas initiatives supported by this grant, visit kschildrenscabinet.org.

Committee Work continues in the third week of session. It appears that session is off to a slow start, however, there are reports and hearings being conducted in committees. Bills, schedules, and recordings of the meetings can be found at http://www.kslegislature.org/li/.
Government Picking Winners and Losers Last week I talked about a Legislative Post Audit report on tax incentive programs being used to promote business in Kansas. The report pointed out 37% of businesses questioned would have expanded or completed the project without the tax incentives. The report also pointed out the programs do not generate enough tax dollars to pay for the 'giveaways'.
This week another presentation on government picking winners was presented in the Commerce Committee. Universities are allowing companies who "pay to play" to have access to students and research. Not all businesses have access to these students or research. It used to be that students would intern for companies, but now, some companies have locations on campus.
It is an honor and a privilege to serve as your 12th District State Senator.

In 1992, I became close friends with Shardel and Misty through a mothers' group when all three of our little boys were two years old. Later in the mid-90s, both families moved away from Fort Scott. Last summer I had the joy of hosting a weekend reunion at my home with these dear and treasured girlfriends. Even though we had lived apart many years, our souls were still knit together. As we visited, laughed, cried, ate scratch brownie batter, and simply picked up where we left off, I said something like, "I'm not who I used to be; I've changed. My heart is softer and I'm not so judgmental and opinionated." During those 27 years of separation, I learned (am still learning) what it means to love others like Jesus does. What a difference choosing a mindset of love has made in my life!
Practicing love is not based on a feeling, but rather a decision to humbly obey God's Word. When Jesus' crucifixion was near, He shared many directives to His disciples. "Dear children, I will be with you only a little longer. And as I told the Jewish leaders, you will search for Me, but you can't come where I am going. So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are My disciples" (John 13:33-35 NLT). Jesus' command requires believers to take the necessary steps to love others. We simply put one foot in front of the other and begin hoofing the uphill climb.
To walk in love requires effort on our part — we have to work at it. Being a doer of love costs something, whether it's our time, money, pride, or opinions. A good question to ask ourselves is: "Are my wounded feelings and stubborn opinions more important than the person and my relationship with him/her?" Speaking from emotions in the heat of the moment can undo a lifetime of closeness. "Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace" (Ephesians 4:2-3 NLT). Being right is highly overrated, and having peaceful relationships is highly underrated. Peace is like a soothing essential oil for the soul.
Loving others is a daily decision that's practiced on purpose — and it's not always easy. Sometimes the stepping stones to love are a little too far apart and it's a stretch for us. But let's think past the upsetting circumstance and ask ourselves: "Am I loving others in a way that I'll have no regrets later on?" We must live in the light of Jesus as we climb every mountain in love. "Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are His dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ" (Ephesians 5:1-2 NLT).
Because Christ lives in believers, we are more than able to do what is required of us. "…Dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it. Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other" (Colossians 3:12-15 MSG).
The Key: Love is an uphill climb one step at a time.

Much of Southeast Kansas experienced drought through the late summer and fall months of 2022. This has affected pasture health, forage yields, and hay prices, causing some producers to worry if they will have enough forage to maintain their herd numbers. In this article we will lay out a few forage options that producers may not be utilizing.
Many tall fescue pastures in SEK went into dormancy early last summer, and never seemed to come out, leaving producers to worry if the fescue is dead. While it is difficult to tell how much will recover, we know that stand health will be poor this spring. In some cases, spring oats can be drilled into fescue stands to provide additional forage. Using low seeding rates and a no-till drill, oats make a great companion crop allowing the fescue to rest.
Winter wheat can be used as a dual-purpose crop, where producers graze the stand early in the spring, and then pull cattle off to have a harvestable wheat crop. Winter wheat can be grazed until the first hallow stem stage without impacting yield potential. Research has shown a 0% yield impact from grazing prior to the first hallow stem stage, and then a 2% yield loss each day the wheat is grazed after the first hallow stem stage. The first hallow stem stage can be identified by splitting the main tiller on the wheat plant and finding the developing wheat head. The first hallow stem stage begins when the developing wheat head is approximately 1.5 centimeters above ground, roughly the diameter of a dime.
Winter wheat can also be used solely as a forage crop with the ability to rotate to a summer crop. In this system, wheat can be grazed until planting time. Wheat can be terminated via tillage or herbicides.
For producers who did not plant winter wheat in the fall there are a number of spring- planted cereal crops that make excellent grazing options.
Cereal rye is a cold-hardy, fast growing cereal crop that will produce a large amount of forage quickly. Cereal rye is most often planted in the fall, but in SEK, late winter plantings can also achieve adequate stands. Rye is best served as a silage crop because it matures quickly, but it will also give producers the earliest grazing option.
Spring oats is the next earliest forage option. Spring oats can be planted as early as February 15 in a warm and dry winter, or as late as March 10 in a cold and wet winter. Oats will freeze kill, so plan to plant after the last threat of a freeze.
Spring oats will not produce tillers, so yield potential will not be as high as other cereal crops. Grazing should begin when plants reach 6-8 inches tall and then grazing should end when plants reach 2-3 inches tall to maintain regrowth.
For producers looking to get more forage from their spring crop, spring triticale can be a great option. Spring triticale will mature later in the season than cereal rye and spring oats, so it is not recommended if producers want to rotate to corn in that field. Double-cropped soybeans would be an option in SEK.
Spring triticale has many hybrids that are designed for different forage types, meaning it can have good grazing potential, but triticale is best served as a hay/silage crop.
With a glim outlook on spring pasture health, producers may need to look beyond their typical spring grazing options. Cereal crops can be an inexpensive and high-quality forage to fill a need while tall fescue pastures recover from last year's drought. For more information on using alternative forages, contact Chad Guthrie, crop production and forage management agent, at any Southwind Extension District office.

The BIORIMA IRM framework is a structure upon which the validated tools and methods for materials, exposure, hazard and risk identification/assessment and management are allocated plus a rationale for selecting and using them to manage and reduce the risk for specific NBM used in ATMP and MD.
The BIORIMA IRM framework will be
Robust and readily applicable to past and current generations of NBM because it is built on the large and growing database of evidence and experience of researchers in Nanosafety and Nanomedicine.
Flexible, in its modular construction, which can easily integrate new scientific results to address the need of future generations of NBM.
Beyond the state of the art for NBM safety by providing an encompassing and consistent framework applicable to both NBM and ENM. Specifically, the integration of knowledge from Nanosafety regarding Exposure/Hazard/Risk will advance the current status of NBM safety considerably. An unified IRM framework for both medicinal and engineered nanomaterials is clearly of tremendous advantage to the standardisation and regulation of these materials . The weight of evidence to support and the transparancy in the implementation of the tools/methodologies will undoubtedly make the BIORIMA IRM framework an essential and invaluable contribution to the future development and sustainability of biomaterial technology.
The BIORIMA IRM framework will consist of:
Validated methodologies and tools to identify the potential Exposure posed by NBM to humans and the environment.
Validated methodologies and tools to identify the potential Hazard of NBM to humans and the environment, including a specific strategy for Intelligent Testing (ITS).
A Tiered Risk Assessment (TRA) for NBM used in ATMP and MD; Risk Management strategies and systems, based on validated methodologies, tools, and guidance, for monitoring and reducing the risks of NBM together with methods for evaluating them.

News from the BIORIMA Project
A safe and sustainable society and environment are the two pillars on which our future stands, and both have to be continuously supported and protected by transparent, long-sighted and science-based regulation that is shared by all actors involved. BIORIMA is contributing to these ongoing new regulatory needs by developing novel methodologies that help us to obtain the knowledge and tools to manage possible risks associated with emerging new materials, such as nano-biomaterials (NBM), when used in medical applications.

Clinique Pop Liquid Matte Lip Color & Primer - For moderate to full coverage that moisturizes and provides 6 hour wear time, with a built in primer. I love how this one is buildable and can be worn in a sheer layer as more of a post-popsicle stain. It's matte and, like I said, can be built to very opaque coverage in a few easy swipes, but still manages to give the lips moisture.
Clinique Pop Matte Lip Color & Primer - For full coverage that's smooth and creamy and provides 8 hours of wear time, with a built in primer. Think of this as the lip perfecter; it blurs and smoothes over lines and gives the lips a perfect shape without the thick drying texture some mattes have. I love that there are so many shades (16 to be exact) to choose from, so whether you want to go bold or just prefer a matte neutral, you will find your perfect match.
I personally love the liquid version, because it is unlike any of the dry and thick formulas I've tried before. Clinique has reinvented the classics and have me loving wearing mattes again! What is your favorite Clinique matte formula?

Ukraine's Parliament: "Don't Say Gay"
Svyatoslav Sheremet, head of Gay Forum of Ukraine, was beaten after a scheduled gay-pride parade was cancelled in May, 2012. (Anatolii Stepanov, Reuters/Landov)
Ukraine's parliament today approved a first reading of a bill which would impose prison sentences of up to five years for anyone who would dare to say anything good about gay people. The vote was 289 deputies voting for the bill, with nobody voting against and just one abstention. Another 60 deputies were absent during the vote.
The bill would prohibit "propaganda of homosexuality," which it vaguely defines as positive public depiction of gay people. It is in many respects similar to legislation enacted in St. Petersburg, Russia and which may be considered by the Russia's central government.
In May, Kiev authorities cancelled a Pride march at the last minute. A Pride organizer was then savagely beaten when he tried to meet with reporters shortly after the cancellation. Reporters merely looked on and snapped photos. That kind of propaganda would be permissible under the proposed legislation.
A second and final vote in Ukraine's Parliament is tentatively scheduled for October 16.

A black cloud is drifting over the former Soviet Union. I picture Mordor.
There is a terrible confluence occurring: nationalism, the Orthodox Church(es), pandering politicians, an inferiority complex about no longer being relevant on the world stage, and not enough Jews left to blame for all of their problems.
The naked brutality and hatred I see in the news pictures is soul-crushing. It's like being the only opposing fan in a country full of soccer hooligans. And the police stand idly by.
I wish we could airlift their LGBTs and allies out and let the savages beat each other to death.


Samsung has pretty much confirmed that its foldable phone will take the stage alongside the Galaxy S10 at its Unpacked Event. The phone in question-as per rumors, could debut as the Galaxy Fold or Galaxy F. In addition to this, Samsung in January early this year, teased the foldable phone through an outdoor advertising campaign in Paris, France. The battery capacity remains identical to that of the M20 - 5,000 mAh. As reported previously, the device will also come with an under display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner towards the bottom half of the device.
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 is inevitably going to be more expensive than its predecessors.
You can also see a metal frame with a speaker and a 3.5mm headphone port cut into it on the bottom edge. Meanwhile, the rear panel of the device will reportedly have a triple rear camera setup, and Samsung may include a time-of-flight sensor.
Like handset will be powered by Exynos 7904 processor with 6GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. Samsung will add AR Emoji feature, Live focus, zoom, color point, and spin effect in the camera on the software side.
Finally, we get an idea on how colors and finishes will be distributed: Prism White, Prism Green and Prism Black will be the main colors for all models.
Considering all these leaks and rumors, we expect the S10 to have a fresh look, standing apart from the notch crowd (for now). But we do know that Samsung has partnered with Google to work on the software to make sure apps work seamlessly whether the device is folded in a "smartphone-like" mode or opened like a tablet.


"The concept was to be an outdoor troop with lots of hiking and exploring. Highlights of the Scout year were to be training for weeklong treks, water safety preparation and anything else that we could think of that would be fun for the Scouts and could include the fathers". The original charter members were Greg and Mike Braun, John and Mike Colgan, Paul Larson, Mark Howard, William Tillerson, David Tillerson and Steve Telian. This membership rapidly grew with a large number of transfers and new members.
The Troop was originally sponsored by the Rotary Club of Rancho Bernardo. It is now sponsored by the Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church. We have met in a number of locations as we grew, including Hope Methodist Church, The Rancho Bernardo Swim and Tennis Club and now at the Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church.
In the early history of the Troop, Mr. Braun helped to establish the co-ed Explorer Post 2680. This group provided an opportunity for older Scouts and teenage girls to participate in High Adventure activities, in which it is reported that the girls were quite able to " hold their own". Mr. Braun was transferred to Colorado and the Post was deactivated with his transfer and the aging out of most of the Scouts.
A co-ed Venture Crew 680 was established providing an opportunity for older boys and girls to participate in many high adventure activities such as Philmont, Boundary Waters, Sierra Treks and many Troop outings. Bud Fosdick, Dorothy Long. Chris Barr and Barbara Weeks were Crew Advisors during this time period before the Crew was deactivated in 2009.

Q: what happens as x goes to 0 when the second term would go to infinity? As in title
I have a concrete example thou:
$$\lim_{x\to 0^+}x\left(1+\frac{4}{x^2}\right)^{\frac{1}2}$$
It's obvious that the second term $\left(1+\frac{4}{x^2}\right)^{\frac{1}2}$ would go to infinity, however, the first term tends to go to $0$. I know that $0\times\infty$ is not defined or indeterminate. But what about in this case? I tend to say that the limit would still be infinity. But is there a proper definition for situations like this?

A: As you noted, $\lim_{x\to0+}x=0$ and $\lim_{x\to0+}\left(1+\frac{4}{x^2}\right)=\infty$. Because of this, you cannot use the limit theorems to compute the limit of the product using the product of the limits, since those theorems require that both limits in the product be finite.
You already thought about it and realized that the answer is either $-2$ and $2$, but for the sake of making sure, here is how you get the answer: $$\lim_{x\to0+}x\sqrt{1+\frac{4}{x^2}}=\lim_{x\to0+}\sqrt{x^2\left(1+\frac{4}{x^2}\right)}=\lim_{x\to0+}\sqrt{x^2+4}$$ Since the symbol $\sqrt{}$ denotes the nonnegative square root, the answer is indeed $2$ and not $-2$.

A: Alternate approach:
Rewrite the problem to
$$\lim_{x\to 0^+}\frac{\left(1+\frac{4}{x^2}\right)^{\frac{1}2}}{(1/x)}$$
which puts it in the form $\displaystyle \frac{\infty}{\infty}.$ Then, invoke L'Hopital's Rule.
Taking the derivative of the numerator and denominator separately, you have
$$\frac{\frac{1}{2}\left[1 + \frac{4}{x^2}\right]^{-(1/2)} \left[4(-2)x^{(-3)}\right]}{- \frac{1}{x^2}}.\tag1 $$
(1) above can be re-written as :
$$\frac{\frac{1}{2}\left[1 + \frac{4}{x^2}\right]^{-(1/2)} \left[(-8)x^2\right]}{(-1)x^3}.\tag2 $$
(2) above can be re-written as :
$$\frac{4\left[1 + \frac{4}{x^2}\right]^{-(1/2)}}{x}.\tag3 $$
(3) above can be re-written as :
$$\frac{4\left[\frac{x^2 + 4}{x^2}\right]^{-(1/2)}}{x}.\tag4 $$
(4) above can be re-written as :
$$\frac{4\left[x^2\right]^{(1/2)}}{x(x^2 + 4)^{(1/2)}}.\tag5 $$
Noting that the limit is being taken as $x \to 0^+$
(i.e. $x$ is approaching $0$ from the positive side)
(5) above can be re-written as :
$$\frac{4}{(x^2 + 4)^{(1/2)}}.\tag6 $$
Noting that $$\lim_{x \to 0^+} \sqrt{x^2 + 4} = 2, $$
you are left with
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+} \frac{4}{\sqrt{x^2 + 4}} = \frac{4}{2} = 2.$$


Ah, to be a millionaire. It's been almost every kid's dream – how many little boys (and maybe even little girls!) haven't fantasized about being not just Batman, but his alter ego, Bruce Wayne, the filthy rich bachelor who could so easily afford all those cool "bat toys"? Fantasies of being a movie star meant not only being famous, but being rich as well.
For decades, it was thought that being a millionaire meant the end of all troubles – you could go where you want, do what you want, buy what you want. But is that really the case anymore? With rising salaries and inflation, will a million dollars really get you anything and everything you want?
Obviously the answer is no, and nowhere is this more demonstrated than the U.S. real estate market. A million-dollar home was once an opulent mansion, or a spacious apartment with a spectacular view of a city below. At the very least, a million dollars would buy you a parcel of land that you could build that dream home on.
Today, that's obviously not quite the case. In many areas of the country, a million dollars won't buy you much of anything. A million dollars will get you a modest two-bedroom condo in Manhattan, without a lot of charm or added amenities. In many places in California, a million will buy a simple 2,000 square foot home that's also very modest in amenities and updates. The same goes for areas such as Aspen, Colorado, The Hamptons on Long Island, and of course many beachfront cities in Florida. A million dollars is considered a median or even fairly modest price for a residence.
In some areas, such as in Connecticut and other New England states, homes valued at a million dollars are actually being demolished or razed to make way for new construction, since that million dollar price tag just isn't as remarkable as it once was.
But to many people, a million dollars is still a lot of money, especially when you're financing a home for that much. From 1999 to 2004, U.S. home prices increased by a whopping 48%, according to the U.S. Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight. In states such as California (up nearly 100%), New York (an increase of about 68%) and even Maine (63%), costs have risen even more dramatically. Buyers wonder just what that price tag includes.
So really, what will a million dollars buy you when it comes to a private residence in the U.S.?
Location is still the key.
In real estate, the old adage, "Location, location, location" still has not changed. Prices of homes always seem to follow businesses and industries, as demand for homes of course spike up the price of existing structures and surrounding land on which to build. And when you're dealing with a small bit of land that must accommodate a large populace, such as on the island of Manhattan, then of course the huge demand sharply increases the price.
Million dollar homes account for about 2% of the residential realty market, and the biggest concentration of them is not in New York, but the other side of the country – California. In this state, over 4% of homes – that's 1 out of ever 25 – is valued at over $1 million. San Jose tops the list with a median home price in 2006 at over $760,000. San Francisco, Santa Ana and Anaheim were all very close behind, with median home prices in the $750,000 range.
Obviously beachfront and vacation property areas will always be more expensive than the average home, as these are favorite hotspots for celebrities, politicians, captains of industry, and the like. Aspen, Colorado, and Palm Beach, Florida, will probably always see property values well into the millions because of the property and surrounding area itself.
But it's not just location that affects the price of homes, and especially of new homes. Buyers are spending more time at home and want all the amenities and luxuries that they can afford.
Luxury homebuilder Toll Brothers recorded 1,094 contracts for million-dollar homes in 2006, which was 18% of the total. In 2001, that category was at 152 homes, or 4%. So the price may be higher, but the product is better.
Speaking of Toll Brothers, their homes are not only luxurious on the inside – most include marble floors, great rooms, sunrooms, on-site fitness centers for apartments, and too many amenities to list here – they also offer a "community," meaning most are built around a golf course, or in certain desirable neighborhoods, such as Long Island. Memberships into these clubs or social communities is typically included with the purchase price of a home – not a standard feature with a home that's priced much less.
Many million-dollar homes also come standard with security features such as touch-screen controls and built-in alarms and monitoring systems, entertainment rooms and hardwired audio systems, and their own internet and broadband access built into its construction.
Obviously the list of amenities that are available for those willing to spend over a million dollars is endless. But the bottom line is that while a million may not get you what it once did, most buyers find that they can purchase whatever it is they dream of for their luxury home – if they're willing to pay for it.
Do you really need your own Home Based Information Products Marketing Business?
Hey, if you are among the super rich like Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, or if you are a celebrity like Charlie Sheen or Ashton Kutcher, you probably don't need your own home based business in order to survive.
Yes, even though poor Charlie was fired from Two and a Half Men, he was very well paid for a long time at about 2 million dollars per episode and probably has a few bucks tucked away for a rainy day. And how about Charlie Sheen's replacement, Ashton Kutcher? At a reported salary of 700,000 dollars per episode plus incentives, I don't think he needs a home based business in order to stay afloat.
So, if you are a celebrity or among the super rich, you probably don't need to start your own home based information marketing business.
But, how about the rest of us?
I believe we should all be starting and building our own home based information products marketing business. Even if we have a good job right now. Even if you start it just as a sideline to earn extra money.
In this terrible economy, and even before the economy tanked, millions of people found out that a good job can disappear in a minute like a puff of smoke. I found that out myself three times in my career.
Wouldn't you rather be prepared for that, by having your own home based business to fall back on if you need to?
Maybe the job you have now isn't so good, or you really don't like it and you would love to have the freedom to just say goodbye and go do your own thing.
Or, you might be retired, or soon-to-be-retired, and you are wondering how you are going to supplement your meager Social Security Checks.
A good home based information products marketing business can help you do all of that. That's why I believe you do need your own home based information marketing business.
Millions of people dream about starting their own home based business. Are you one of those millions? It's great if you are, but please don't be like many of the dreamers who either chase after every new "opportunity" and never really succeed, or dream and dream, but never start. Or, they do start some kind of home business and then give up too soon. Success doesn't come as fast as they expected so they lose hope, or don't know what to do next.
If you dream of having your own home business, you can finally start a legitimate home business that has the best chance of being successful.
Imagine being able to focus on one good home based business, information products marketing, so you can stop wasting your time and money trying out every new "opportunity" that sounds good. Imagine starting your own info-products marketing home based business and becoming successful in it.
I believe you can! But, you have to do it. I can't do it for you. All I can do is help you along the way with articles like this, and to ask you take a look at the many information products marketing related websites and blogs on the internet. Just do a Google search, for example, using the search term "information products marketing home based business". Review the information provided by the websites that result from your search and then get started.
I'm a prime example as someone who moonlighted and made some nice part-time extra income with information marketing. I was working for a division of a medium-sized company as their Marketing Manager. I decided I had to do something on the side so I could eventually get out of the corporate rat race.
One of the things I enjoyed doing in my spare time was painting with oil paints or acrylic paint. Over the years, I had found several good ways to save money on art and craft supplies and decided to help other artists and craftspeople do the same. So I wrote and self-published a little 32 page booklet titled "How To Save Up To 60 Percent On Art And Craft Supplies". It cost me 50 cents to print and I sold it for 5 dollars. During a few years I sold almost 8,000 copies and earned 39,213 dollars in revenue. I'm no Charlie Sheen or Ashton Kutcher, so I really enjoyed the extra money.
A classic example of someone who earned a fortune in information marketing (a lot more than I made) is Joe Karbo. Joe was one of the people who inspired me to start my own information marketing side business.
Joe was facing bankruptcy when he lost his high paying job. He talked to several attorneys to see how he could avoid a bankruptcy. In the process he learned how to negotiate with his creditors and decided to write a book, "The Power of Money Management", which he sold using direct response ads in local newspapers and magazines in the Southern California area. The book was a success overnight and Joe avoided bankruptcy.
Later, during the mid 70's, he wrote another book in only six weeks that has become an American Classic…"The Lazy Man's Way to Riches". He sold almost three million copies at 10 dollars each. I bought a copy and I loved it.
Ted Nicholas, another information marketing millionaire, tells the story of Matt Furry. Matt is someone who followed Ted's example. Matt began his Internet business in 1995. He was 50,000 dollars in debt. He had to scrape together 317 dollars to buy one of Ted's home-study courses. Ted used the headline "You a Millionaire Writer?" in his ad for the course, which intrigued Matt enough to buy it.
Ted says that so far, Matt has sold an amazing 30 million dollars worth of information products on the Internet. Ted describes Matt's company as lean and mean with no employees and no debt. Wow! That inspires me. How about you?
Dan Kennedy, a small business marketing expert, tells the story of someone he knows who runs a 750 thousand dollars a year information business literally off of a kitchen table, just selling information to pot-bellied pig owners. How's that for a niche that sure doesn't sound like it could support that level of business?
Tim Kerber, a membership site expert, uses one of his "student's" experience as a case study of what can be done with information marketing membership sites. His student is Carrie Wilkerson. Carrie is a mom who started her business with no online experience and a 3-week-old baby on her arm. Carrie is now considered an expert in her own right, is a popular public speaker, has 10,000 people on her list of prospects and customers, and was reported to be on track to make six figures in her first year. And she did all this in less than a year.
I could go on forever with information marketing success story after success story. I love being inspired by others who have done it. But, this is enough for you to get the idea. Even though I know, and you know, these results aren't typical, you can see that with some degree of skills and abilities, a good work ethic, focus, persistence, and action, success is possible.
Selling information has been described by information marketer Terry Dean as the most exciting and rewarding business any entrepreneur can, or ever will be, involved with.
Millions of dollars worth of information products are being sold every single day throughout the world. Most of the major success stories online involve selling information in one form or another.


I say minor ripple because Xandros isn't the big man on campus … it's #40 in the past month, #31 over the past quarter. Nonetheless, Xandros becomes a MS-preferred linux server (and desktop) provider, but without the coupons like with the Novell deal. And Xandros will join the WS-Management effort on systems management interop. So far, there's been plenty of comparisons to the Novell deal.


I was fortunate enough to work with the talented creatives at COLOR and shoot this commercial for the launch of their new app. This was a really fun project, and with Danny Jones at the helm you can expect top notch art direction. If you have a smartphone and use facebook(yes to both) then give Color a test drive. I have been using the app since a few weeks prior to launch and it has been lots of fun! More to come!


Animals, including humans, tend to live in specific biomes based on their adaptations and preferences. An in-depth presentation covers more than 10 different biomes and the factors impacting each as a habitat. Then, it focuses on dangers such as climate change, extinction, and resource mining to the entire planet.
Future environmental scientists compare data from two different conservation strategies. Alone this lesson is sufficient, but as part of the Exploring Biomes unit produced by the Arizona Fish and Game Department, it becomes top-notch.
