Corn harvest, drying, storage challenging this year
Ken Hellevang, North Dakota State University Extension Service, and Dave Nicolai, UM Extension
Each year brings challenges for crop production, North Dakota State University Extension Service grain drying expert Ken Hellevang warns.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that 82 percent of the Minnesota corn crop is mature compared with a five-year average of 93 percent. As of Oct. 15, only 7 percent of the Minnesota corn crop had been harvested, compared with a 38 percent average.
Fall dry-down
An average dry-down rate for corn in North Dakota during October is about 2.5 percent per week, so if corn reaches maturity at about 30 to 35 percent moisture on Oct. 1, it might be expected to be at least 20 to 25 percent moisture at the end of October. The average dry-down rate in November is only about 1 percent per week in North Dakota. In Minnesota, the average dry-down rate for the first half of October is generally around 2.6 percent per week and 1.2 percent per week for the last half of the month. Dry-down rates are negligible during November in Minnesota (Hicks, 2004).
Normally, harvest should start by mid to late October because the amount of field drying is limited and the risk of snow and greater field losses increases when harvest is delayed. Current National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration long-range weather forecasts are for normal or slightly below normal temperatures and normal to slightly greater precipitation during October.
"Assure corn stalks and cob shanks are strong if considering leaving high-moisture corn in the field over winter," Hellevang advises. "Field losses can range from minor to severe. Compare the cost of drying versus losses associated with leaving the corn in the field. In addition, standing corn tends to slow soil drying in the spring, which may delay planting."
To estimate the propane cost of drying per bushel per point of moisture removed, multiply the propane price per gallon by 0.02. For example, the cost to remove 10 points of moisture using $1.50 propane is 30 cents per bushel. Dividing the propane cost by the corn price provides the percentage of corn losses that will equal the drying cost (30 cents divided by $3.50 equals 9 percent). Also, verify the impact on insurance of leaving the corn in the field.
Storage methods
With so much grain still in storage from last year, producers may be considering alternative storage options. Storage in a poly bag is a good option, but it does not prevent mold growth or insect infestations. Grain should be dry, at recommended storage moisture contents, when placed in a grain bag.
Storing higher-moisture corn in a bag should be considered very short-term storage and done only at near-freezing temperatures. At moisture contents exceeding about 25 percent, ensiling may occur at temperatures above freezing and prevent the corn from being dried and sold in the general market.
When storing in bags, select an elevated, well-drained location with the surface prepared to prevent the bags from being punctured, and run the bags north and south so solar heating is similar on both sides of the bags.
Wildlife can puncture the bags, creating an entrance for moisture and releasing the grain smell, which attracts more wildlife. Monitor the grain temperature at several locations in the bags and repair punctured bags.
Corn drying
"Corn above 21 percent moisture should not be dried using natural-air (NA) or low-temperature (LT) drying to minimize corn spoilage during drying," Hellevang says. "Because the drying capacity of NA and LT is extremely poor at temperatures below 35 to 40 degrees, little drying typically is possible using a natural-air system after about Nov. 1.
"Adding heat does not permit drying wetter corn and only slightly increases drying speed," he adds. "The primary effect of adding heat is to reduce the final corn moisture content."
When outdoor temperatures average near or below freezing, cool the corn to 20 to 25 degrees for winter storage and finish drying in April to early May. Limit the corn depth to about 20 to 22 feet to obtain an airflow rate of 1 to 1.25 cubic feet per minute per bushel, which is necessary to dry the corn before deterioration occurs. Turn fans off during extended periods of rain, snow, or fog to minimize the amount of moisture the fans pull into the bin.
Using the maximum drying temperature that will not damage the corn increases the dryer capacity and reduces energy consumption of a high-temperature dryer. Removing a pound of water requires about 20 percent less energy at a drying air temperature of 200°F than at 150°F. Follow the dryer manufacturer's recommendations, but generally, recommended temperatures when drying corn are 210 to 230°F.
"Be aware that excessively high drying temperatures may result in a lower final test weight and increased breakage susceptibility," Hellevang says. "In addition, as the drying time increases, high-moisture corn becomes more susceptible to browning. A cross-flow dryer that moves corn from the inside to the outside of the drying column, varies the corn flow rate across the drying column, or varies the corn's exposure to the drying air is more likely to maintain corn quality."
Removing debris that accumulates on or in a dryer is more critical when outside air temperatures are cold because condensation can develop on the dryer, creating a wet surface on which debris can collect. The debris may reduce airflow through the dryer, decreasing the dryer's capacity and creating a fire hazard.
More mechanical damage occurs when harvesting high-moisture corn, which affects the storage life of the corn. Dry low-test-weight corn and corn with more damaged kernels to a percentage point lower in moisture content than normal. Cooling the grain in storage to about 20 to 25 degrees for winter storage in northern corn-growing regions and near freezing in warmer regions is more important for damaged corn than for mature, sound corn.
Check immature and damaged grain more frequently, and do not put immature or damaged corn in long-term storage.
"Also remember that working with high-moisture corn can be hazardous," Hellevang cautions. "Become informed of the hazards and recommended safety practices. Do not become a fatality."

How to share maps (and config) between clients (and mods)?
I have three clients installed: darkplaces, tfeqw, and quakespasm. How can I share data between them, like maps or mods? I want to save disk space.
Also I don't quite understand how config works in those. Will I have to reconfigure every map/mod manually everytime, or I can share config between mods? Also, I want to make sure they don't write anywhere besides their own folder.
I wonder if save files are compatible between engines.
if you try sharing configs then you cause these multiple engines to just forget everything the other engines do not support. FTE and DP both write their configs to some home directory which takes precedence so for those 3 engines specifically this shouldn't be too much of an issue.
otherwise you can just shove all 3 in the same directory along with your id1/etc subdirs.
FTE has a savegame_legacy command if you want to write saves in the same format as vanilla quake (but probably do a different gamedir - you'll probably need to move them around or something). Whether it can actually be correctly loaded depends on the mod, but vanilla 'should' save+load without any other issues between those 3 engines.
Don't want them to write config into home or simular, wish they would be placed in the same folder with the client. Just to keep them all portable, so I can copy it on my flash drive and I'm set.
Currently I just rewrote DEFAULT.CFG for each client. So, each client folder have almost the same id1 folder in it, with only difference being the DEFAULT.CFG. Didn't like how clients kept rearranging lines on every write, so I wrote it by hand. This is the reason why I can't just use symbolic links, need to place config and saves in a separate directory.
Would be great it config and saves would be placed in the "config" directory in the client, separately from mods. FTE seems to have exactly that with it's "fte" folder, wish other engines could do that. I'd rename "fte" to "config", it's more clear that way.
Doing this properly requires teaching all three engines to execute a common engine-wide .cfg file. Putting this on pause until I figure out how to compile all three, and where "quake.rc" is executed from.
the -nohome argument instructs both FTE and DP to skip home directories entirely. This naturally causes fights over who owns the config.cfg files, and if you're switching engines then you will loose any and all engine-specific settings. FTE being the exception, as it writes */fte.cfg instead of */config.cfg.
Engines won't write autoexec.cfg, and anything in there overrides your config.cfg files.
This makes it a good way to deal with configs getting rewritten+stripped of other-engine cvars.

It's 2015, and technology has come far enough that we human beings are being more productive than ever!
Well, at least, we wish we were.
Let's take calendar software as an example. Sure, it helps keep things nice and orderly. You have the ability to collaborate with others, share it and it will be there on any technological device you have on hand (for the most part). However, there's a double-edged sword.
While calendar and scheduling software do allow for keeping us informed on the go, they also come with the downside of distracting us more than they actually keep us in order – ironic? Not really. Our modern minds do love to wander when it comes to menial tasks and scheduling an appointment isn't a far stretch beyond the definition of menial.
Instant messaging has made things a lot more, well, instant. That means things are super-efficient and fast now, correct? Well, to some degree, sure. However, instant messengers between students or in a workplace have been shown to take the focus off of the actual point of quick communication and inspire a lot more procrastination and gossiping. Quite a few big companies have taken to implement chat software and communication methods that cut down on employees being tempted to look away from their work and chat on how cute the new employee is or commiserate about the boss (a few of you have done it, admit it). In short, instant-messengers have a lot of great uses – they just come at the cost of making us less productive. Sound familiar?
A beloved aid to teacher and student alike, as well as in the corporate world, Powerpoint has proven to be very popular. Popular though it may be, studies have shown that Powerpoint is greatly reducing the amount of productivity, learning and involvement that comes from the people using it. It might be a bit sardonic, but staring blankly at a white sheet with bullet points on it never did feel very productive. That aside, teachers and students still swear by this tool, but those studies have pretty much shown that a big percentage of those lovingly clinging to Powerpoint are probably doing so because of how little effort it invokes in them.
That crotchety old man who you see in TV shows that is always yelling about how things were better in his day, and us whipper-snappers were having our brains turned to mush by all of the modern technology we now rely on? Yeah, he's still someone you should probably ignore, but the problem with smartphones is that they're working much more smartly than we are.
"But I can do so much more work now!" you might protest, "I've never been as organized and productive as I am with my smartphone!". OK, great. That neat little device does carry a lot of things to make us more productive. You know what else it carries? Games, Netflix, text-messaging and plenty of other wonders that are making humans even less productive with them than without. It is in the eye of the user, of course, but studies have shown that smartphone owners tend to waste a significant amount of time getting nothing done while others are being more productive with less.
A few business owners out there just shuddered. Management software is typically a big suite of software that companies bring in to address all of their needs: it has a database, a calendar (oh no), the ability to send out email blasts, and it almost never ends up being a perfect fit. The scenario goes: you find the right suite, buy it, spend the time and money getting it implemented, your workers trained, and dollar signs dance in the distance. However, then employees start tweaking it to better suit their needs, or the patch update messed things up, or so on and so forth.
Many who have gone through this process can attest to how much time was wasted repeatedly trying to get the software to work for everyone, or sometimes at all. A one-size-fits-all solution for a business or individual is a dream come true, but it typically remains a distant dream while we become more and more unproductive trying to work around what is meant to be making us lightning efficient. Poetic irony, I suppose.
When it comes down to it, many of the tools we use to be productive today are a double-edged sword. The laptop I am typing this on now has a bunch of games calling my name, and it is almost comical how potent the sting is. Remember: staying productive is in your hands, and there are always workarounds and ways to adjust your attitude, environment and tools to better help you remain productive.


While cleaning Kitty's desk, I came across this self portrait that she painted last year. It captures her 11 year-old self perfectly… that space between feeling like a child and and a grown up… still innocent and young but full of the possibility of future adventures that are sure to come her way.
I know this t-shirt she is wearing so well… a colorful unicorn. It doesn't fit her anymore. Did I mention that she's taller than me? By about SIX inches!
She's so clever, isn't she! I marvel at her work… and the fact that she's found her talent at such a young age. She's lucky!
An artistic upbringing has always been super important to me and I'm so thankful that I can see the seeds I sowed blooming in both of my artistic children.
Absolutely gorgeous! She is so talented!!!
She is very talented! What a lovely picture and post!
It's perfect!! Congratulations of France!

Am I Too Thirsty?
Probably, but here's how to dress like you aren't.
Eliza Brooke and Chantal Fernandez

Welcome to Shop It Out!, a series dedicated to answering life's big, messy questions in the only way we know how: with shopping.
Q: Recently, I overheard my co-workers laughing about an unnamed Twitter entity's extreme thirst for retweets and faves — for attention, generally speaking. Paranoia set in. How do I know if I, too, am being extremely thirsty? Sometimes I try really hard to get people to notice my tweets. Is it possible to be thirsty without knowing you're thirsty?!
A Thirsty Wanderer in the Desert of Life
Dear Thirsty Wanderer,
Oh yes, the fear of being annoying, inauthentic and, worst of all, unaware of it all? We know that one well. Even if you don't spend your days and nights on Twitter, there are a million ways to expose your own insecurities to the world.
First, because our dads are reading this, let's all get on the same Urban Dictionary page about the nature of thirst — the sort unrelated to bodily hydration. As some guy or gal named "Forsetti" perfectly summed it up about a decade ago (three years, but we work in Internet years here), thirst is: "Desire, greed, obsession, or lust for an object or person characterized by over eagerness or obsessiveness that is obvious to everyone around you." Scooping up the guacamole at margarita happy hour at a rate of 2.1 chips to everyone else's single dip? Thirsty. Commenting "First!" on a Kardashian's Instagram post? Thirstier. Allison Williams's "Peter Pan" promos? Thirstiest.
The thing is, we all have thirst, to one degree or another, and that's okay. The thirst is sort of like the dark forces that recur in books and movies like "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" — we can all be overtaken by it, but only if we don't have the self-awareness to keep it in check. You, my thirsty wanderer, are clearly more than self-conscious enough. You're going to be just fine. But don't fear the thirst, because fear will just make you act erratically. Instead, try to understand the insecurities that motivate the thirst and the conditions under which you feel it most acutely. If you feel the thirst tugging at you — if, say, you find yourself wanting to tweet at Harry Styles's uncle — save that tweet to drafts and move on. No amount of DMs with said uncle will lead to a hookup with Harry. We're sorry, but you already know that deep down.
As people who write books about French women's diet secrets always explain: It's all about balance. Trying your best not to appear thirsty doesn't mean you have to shut down your Instagram and make the world's frumpiest corduroys your new uniform. Go high-low. Wear some sensible shoes to keep you down to earth and then indulge your most showoffy whims by channeling human snow leopard Cate Blanchett at the top of her red carpet game. With, say, a certified pre-owned silk Chanel jumpsuit and some tinted glasses.
1. Vintage Chanel silk jumpsuit with fringe trim scarf, $995, available at The Real Real.
Let's take the ath out of leisure, shall we? Pajamas for day have never looked so regal. But this piece also has a total of four pockets and an elastic waistband because you are a modern woman who pays her own bills and doesn't buy followers.
2. Rose-trimmed spectacles (prescription not necessary), $35, available at Etsy.
Oftentimes, we need to protect ourselves from the harsh emotional realities of being fully feeling organisms making our way in today's society. What better way to symbolize self care than with delicate glasses that bring your personal truth into sharper focus?
3. Anya Hindmarch metallic bag, $1,595, available once upon a time at Anya Hindmarch.
While we're on the topic of vision, both metaphorical and literal, we recommend a reflective silver handbag in which you might catch distorted glimpses of your reflection, and then contemplate the myriad ways in which we misunderstand how others view us.
4. Equipment blazer, $430, available at Net-a-Porter.
A basic that will never run the risk of becoming the bad meaning of basic. Much like you, it's ready for effortless layering (of complex and often contradictory ambitions).
5. Maryam Nassir Zadeh Roberta heels, $379.00, available at Maryam Nassir Zadeh.
Stay grounded in simple but expensive chalk-colored heels that are as comfortable as they look.
6. Travel mug, $15.74, available at Crate & Barrel.
Satisfy physical thirst with this brushed stainless steel thermos, featuring a no-spill silicone seal. It keeps drinks hot or cold for up to seven hours — coincidentally the same amount time Eliza and Chantal spent figuring out what thirst is.

Robertson and Liang in Overseas UK Final
by David Caulfield on December 6, 2015
Neil Robertson and Liang Wenbo will contest the first all-overseas UK Championship final in York on Sunday.
Neil Robertson, 2013 champion, will be hoping for similar photos to be snapped this year – photo courtesy of Monique Limbos.
The Australian and Chinese competitors emerged through contrasting semi-finals on Saturday to set up a clash for the second biggest ranking title.
While Robertson was clinical in his 6-0 drubbing of Mark Selby, Liang was forced to prevail in a sub-standard affair with David Grace which overran.
Both players probably began their respective semi-final encounters as marginal favourites but neither would have expected to advance in the manner that they did.
Many were hoping that former champions Robertson and Selby would produce a high-quality classic, with the winner guaranteed to be the overwhelming favourite for overall success going into Sunday's final.
However, Selby uncharacteristically squandered many of his opportunities early on in frames to repeatedly allow his opponent in to pounce, which a grateful Robertson duly did for a 6-0 victory.
The scoreline doesn't reflect what was actually a closer contest but the 2013 champion was ruthless in his punishment, just as he had been relentless in his scoring in previous victories in the tournament.
That win followed an earlier 6-4 triumph for 28 year-old Liang, who fought back from 4-2 down to deny David Grace a maiden appearance in a ranking event final.
Their last four battle was an arduous affair with both experiencing the pressures that come alongside featuring in a major semi-final amid a single table set-up in front of a large crowd.
It wasn't the prettiest but Liang won't care, highlighted by jubilant celebrations upon potting the final black, with Sunday being a new day.
That said, the former Shanghai Masters runner-up will need to improve his game considerably if he is to have any chance whatsoever of challenging a formidable Robertson.
If Liang starts the final with the same level of trepidation that he experienced in his encounter with Grace, he'll quickly see his chances evaporate against a competitor who thrives on the big occasion.
Somewhat surprisingly, this represents Robertson's first ranking event final since the 2014 Australian Open, but it marks his 17th in total during his illustrious career and victory would add to the 10 titles he has already accumulated.
Liang is seeking his first but he is at least safe in the knowledge that his unexpected run this week, which has now earned him a huge payday of at least £70,000, will see him rise into the top 16 and guarantees a debut invitation to the Masters next month.
The pair has met five times in events carrying ranking points in the past, with the head-to-head 3-2 in favour of the 'Thunder from Down Under', but none of those meetings came beyond the last 16 nor under a longer format.
All common sense points towards Robertson romping to a comfortable second UK Championship, but it's only two sessions of snooker and on any given day strange things can materialise.
It is imperative for Liang to get off to a positive start, though, as it is highly unlikely that Robertson would fold in the same way Grace, Judd Trump and Tom Ford managed to in previous rounds.
With being the obvious favourite comes its own degree of anxiety, but Robertson is well experienced at this stage of tournaments to handle any such nerves, and the 33 year-old will be expecting to lift the famous trophy aloft again come Sunday evening.
Liang Wenbo, Neil Robertson, UK Championship

Alluringly artistic in design, our circular zodiac pendant, adorned with an original Saggitarius zodiac design, is made with 22K Gold Vermeil, and features an embossed symbol of arrows pointed starwood with "Saggitarius" debossed beneath it. This charm sits alongside a gorgeous rectangular pendant that features an original embossed illustration of a sunset-sunrise over the ocean. On the reverse side of this pendant are the words "I will follow you under the pale light of the moon' and our home town of Byron Bay's longitude and latitude coordinates. This pendant is especially poignant because Byron Bay sits at the Eastern most point of Australia and is the first place in Australia to see the rising of the sun each morning. A stunning layering necklace set on a delicately twisted gold chain made for stargazers, wanderers and sunset lovers alike. Hand made in India by Fairtrade Certified Artisan group, the necklace is made in Gold Vermeil, which is a thick coating of 22k gold over a base of sterling silver - so unlike silver it won't tarnish, and unlike gold plated jewellery it wont flake off. Each necklace comes with an individualised zodiac card: The Sagittarius Woman is positive and strong, ruled by the powers of Jupiter, she isn't afraid to stand up for what she believes in. She is brimming with passion, always looking for new possibilities, she knows the full power of her mind. She will run through fire and water to fill her soul. No dream is too grand, she reaches for it as though plucking a star from the sky.

This wonderful idea for a book was realized in 1993, for the 30th anniversary: Who's Who in the JFK Assassination, An A-to-Z Encyclopedia, by Michael Benson, with the subtitle Information on More than 1,400 Suspects, Victims, Witnesses, Law Enforcement Officials and Investigators. Benson begins this reference work with an introduction that identifies the appeal of the assassination to be 'the sleazy slice of grotesque Americana, the labyrinth of characters and the deeply layered plot' (p.vii), which I often feel to be the story. He even refers to the case as 'hallucinatory' (p.viii).
Benson's introduction is helpful, though. He directs the reader to entries appropriate for whichever assassin theory that they are interested in: for the Mafia theory, you're to look at Marcello, Trafficante, Hoffa, Giancana and Ruby; for the CIA theory, it's de Mohrenschildt, E. Howard Hunt and Marita Lorenz; for the pro-Vietnam War 'military-industrial complex' theory, it's Michael Paine, Walter Dornberger, H.L. Hunt and Clint Murchison; for the 'fascist' theory, read about Torbitt, Bloomfield and Shaw (p.xiv). But I won't look up any of those names today. Instead, I'm going to take this encyclopedia on a test drive – through Dealey Plaza. It's time to take a look at some of the assassination witnesses, and this book is one of the tools I'll use. The other tools I favour are: history-matters.com's index of 216 witnesses and where they were when the shots were fired (which I'll refer to as the HMI); and the JFK Assassination Photo Chronology at www.jfkassassination.ca (which I'll refer to as the APC). I recommend having both those sites open in other tabs or windows while reading this (but turn off the APC music!). It'd also help to have open the diagram of Dealey Plaza I showed you a few weeks ago. Page numbers given are for Benson, unless otherwise stated.
Our first witness, Jack Weaver, who took a photo, does not appear in Benson but is in the HMI. The APC times points in the chronology from the fatal head shot, and it places Weaver's polaroid 30-something seconds before it. Weaver was at Houston and Main. His polaroid shows both the limo and the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD), and in the 6th floor corner window, someone can be seen (see the FBI blowup – the 6th floor is the 2nd highest). Whether this was Oswald or not, seconds before the shooting began, someone was there.
Our next witness is Abraham Zapruder, but we'll get to him when we reach his position. Right now, we'll look at the people to the left of his view, in frame 150 of his film (Z-150), before the President's car gets to the Stemmons Freeway sign. There are abundant witnesses here, standing on the north side of Elm Street in front of the Grassy Knoll, and the image below gives 16 names (I found this at theshotsindealeyplaza.com but it may have originally come from a French website).
Half of these appear in Benson, and while this might not seem like many, only 5 of those 8 are mentioned in Summers, and none of them in Hurt. Half also appear in the HMI, although 4 of them are not in Benson and vice-versa. The HMI places Betty Thornton in front of the TSBD, so someone is wrong, or there are 2 Betty Thorntons. There are mistakes in the names given in the image. Firstly, Aurelia 'Alonzo' and Ann'e' Donaldson. Both Benson and Summers have what I presume are the correct names: Aurelia Lorenzo and Ann Donaldson. The other error in a name is Gloria 'Calvary'. Both the HMI and Benson spell her name 'Calvery', the former mis-spelling probably an unconsciously religious slip, with JFK on his way to his crucifixion.
Who or what is the BDM? A supernatural Black Dog? Researcher Bill Miller shows, at least, that the BDM is not the person seen through the pyracantha bush later in Z-413 – from examining the angles he shows that that's Dealey Plaza groundskeeper Emmett Hudson, who is on the steps below the BDM. Marilyn Sitzman, who held Zapruder's legs 'to steady him while he shot the most important piece of film in history' (p. 421), in a 1966 interview, recalled 'a colored couple. I figure they were between 18 and 21, a boy and a girl, sitting on a bench, just almost, oh, parallel with me, on my right side, close to the fence.' So was the BDM this couple? Or does the assassination scene overlap with a daimonic reality?
Let me introduce you to the Willis family. Phillip L. Willis was a survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor. In '63 he was a retired air force major. He took 12 photos in Dealey Plaza and believed one (not presented here) showed Jack Ruby at the scene. Ruby's alibi does lack 20-25 minutes (Hurt, Reasonable Doubt, p.184), but the APC states that 'exhaustive research by author Richard Trask disproves' that the man in sunglasses in Willis Exhibit 8 is Ruby. Benson states that Phillip's wife Marilyn Willis 'watched with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William H. Stubblefield, from the north side of Elm Street directly in front of the pergola' (p.483), but the HMI has Marilyn beside her husband on the south side. Perhaps the HMI is less informed because it doesn't mention the Stubblefields. However, Phillip in Z-202 (see below) is standing beside a mature woman and a young woman, and these could easily be Marilyn and their daughter Linda Kay Willis. Linda was 14 and 'was with her father on the south side of Elm Street' (p.482). Another daughter, Rosemary (b.1953), was at the scene and was, as the APC describes her, 'wearing a red skirt and white pull-over top with a hood', and in the Zapruder film she runs alongside the limo, passes behind Croft, then slows down, and comes to a stop by around Z-197. The Wikipedia page on her analyses each of her head-turns, in case you're interested.
This is a crop from jfkassassinationgallery.com of what the APC calls Skaggs 4, taken by Jay Skaggs (not mentioned in Benson or the HMI), somewhere around 30 seconds before the head shot.
Phillip Willis is visible until Z-206. Now we come to the Stemmons Freeway sign, which obscures the Presidential car from Zapruder's view, and is around the time of the first shot that hits JFK (whether from the front or behind!). The WC decided the first bullet hit some time between Z-210 and Z-225, while the HSCA went for Z-190.
John Arthur Chism, a cook at the Marriot according to the HMI, and his wife Mary, were 'standing with their three-year-old son directly in front of the "Stemmons Freeway" sign on the north side of Elm Street… Karen Westbrook stood next to Mr. Chism' (p.78). This creates more problems with the Z-150 still from theshotsindealeyplaza.com above, with the 16 names on it. In the 'Bronson 3' photo below, the nearest person to the Chisms seems to be the lady in the blue headscarf identified above as Carol Reed. Karen Westbrook, meanwhile, was identified as the woman standing between Jean Newman and June Dishong. The HMI has Westbrook further west than Reed or Newman, with Newman behind Reed; Westbrook seems to be the nearest to the Chisms, so perhaps she's in the blue headscarf. Mind you, I've seen assassination chatter referring to the 'blue scarf lady' as if she is unidentified. In other confusion, the HMI gives Mrs. Chism's first name as Faye, not Mary.
The Bronson 3 photo corresponds to Z-229, 4.59 seconds before the head shot. The shooting is going on and JFK is wounded, and the photo provides an overview of witnesses on both the north and south sides of Elm Street: the 'dark-complected man' (DCM) raising his arm; the Umbrella Man raising his umbrella; D-Day veteran Charles Brehm (1925-1996) and his 5-year-old son Joe; the Babuska Lady beside them, filming a film no-one's ever seen; Mary Moorman with her polaroid camera, next to Jean Hill; the Newman family (William, Gayle and their 2 small children) (no relation to Jean Newman); and Zapruder with Sitzman.
This is right before the head shot at Z-313 (not shown here). Moorman took her famous polaroid between Z-315 and Z-316, just over a seventh of a second after his head exploded.
L-R: Hill and Moorman. Hill was an unusual witness. As Benson quotes her, 'I saw a man fire from behind the wooden fence. I saw a puff of smoke and some sort of movement on the grassy knoll where he was. Then I saw a man walking briskly in front of the Texas School Book Depository Building. He was the only person moving' (p.188). She later identified this man as Jack Ruby, but she seems to be the only person to have seen the man at all.
Moorman's polaroid (called Moorman 5 in the APC) 'shows a clear view of the grassy knoll at the time of the shooting' (p.299). In it, Zapruder and Sitzman can be seen on their pedestal, and groundskeeper Emmett Joseph Hudson, wearing a cap, can be seen on the steps with two other men, one below him and one to his left, neither of whom were ever identified.
Now watch the Zapruder film, or (actually better) flick through the frames, to see the whole tableau come to life.
There is time for one more piece of photographic evidence. Thomas C. Dillard of the Dallas Morning News photographed the 6th floor window 'after the third shot' (p.112), as can be seen here, and '30 seconds later' (p.112), military intelligence agent James W. Powell took this photo of the same window, and it seems the boxes in the window were rearranged. If Oswald was the assassin, up to 30 seconds spent rearranging boxes significantly reduces his chance of getting to the 2nd floor within 90 seconds of the assassination.
Blather afterthought: apart from references to sightings of Jack Ruby, it seems we managed to avoid 'the sleazy slice of grotesque Americana' this week and spend some time with more ordinary pilgrims. That's been worthwhile. But it seems that time and space considerations are sidelining some things readers might be interested in – the identities of the Three Tramps, the Umbrella Man and the Babuska Lady; the 'Altgens 5' Oswald/Lovelady controversy; and shapes on the Knoll in the 'Moorman 5' polaroid. Attempts will be made to get to these, although this series has deeper, darker ground to cover before 22 November, including Deep Politics (as opposed to 'conspiracy theory'); Vietnam; Golitsyn and Nosenko; and nuclear war; before arriving at its climax of esoteri-poetic Americarcana and the 50th year of death.

We already knew that Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) would be recruiting his Deadpool 2 X-Force team via LinkedIn, and we got a good chuckle out of that, particularly when Peter (Rob Delaney), a man with admittedly no superpowers, showed up for the interview and landed the gig. Well, prepare for more chuckles, because now we get to see Peter's LinkedIn bio that landed him the interview in the first place.
While Peter's Twitter feed may give us some keen insights into his beekeeping hobby and his X-Force teammates, his LinkedIn profile offers us a true window into Peter's past, present, and future, as only a well-written LinkedIn bio can do.

For example, you can see that Peter quickly updated his profile to include his new stint working with Deadpool, Domino, Bedlam, and Co. But while X-Factoring will surely require him calling in sick a few days, Peter continues to work as a Regional Sales Manager at Excalibur Cutlery Co., where he's been climbing the corporate ladder for the last 20 years. He was even awarded the Top Sales Manager Award in his department for seven consecutive quarters at one point, and earned the Top Sales Manager overall in February of 2011. Way to go, Peter!
But that's not all that's impressive about this young recruit: Peter also was awarded the Entrance Scholarship at Metro University, where he "completed a year-long Captstone project" in his senior year, among other impressive scholastic feats. And before that, he was awarded the honor of Eagle Scout in 1996, which is as high as you can go in the Boy Scouts of America.
While it's easy to present your best self in a LinkedIn profile, which Peter definitely does, it's his personal essays that really let us into his life. Like in his essay "Work/Life: A Balancing Act," we learn that Peter's wife of 12 years, Susan, likes working on squat thrusts with her personal trainer while Peter spends his extra time with the bees and the X-Force, but at night, it's just the two of them, "The way life's meant to be."
And in his brief essay "Comfort Zones and You," we get some insight into why he decided to join the X-Factor team, even though it was well outside his cozy cutlery-salesman life. While Peter concludes that it doesn't matter what caused his bold move to join up, it's that he said yes to it at all. "It's important to challenge yourself. And not just in the 'join a team of superheroes' way," writes Peter.
If you've got a LinkedIn profile yourself, Peter's accepting connections as we speak. So reach out, then start enjoying not just his profile and articles, but also all his remarkable comments on the posts of LinkedIn's likely unknowing beekeeping community.
You can see Peter in all his X-Force glory when Deadpool 2 lives up to the hype and opens wide this weekend.

For those students who have a handicapping condition that requires accommodations or services to appropriately access their regular education program, an evaluation for a service agreement can be requested. Students receiving services under this category are typically children who are not eligible for special education services, yet demonstrate a medically documented disability that requires special consideration within the educational setting.
The service agreement outlines those accommodations that have been agreed to by the school and parents. Parental consent is required prior to providing services. The service agreement may be reviewed annually to ensure that it remains current. All personnel working with the student should be aware of the provisions of the service agreement so they can implement it. Parental notification is required if there is a change to the service agreement or if the student's eligibility for services or accommodations changes. Any substantial change in placement requires an evaluation.
In order to request a Section 504 evaluation a parent should contact their child's guidance counselor, instructional support teacher, or principal.

Last week we focused on Spiritual, and in this discussion I would like to focus on the emotional part of manifesting. A simple way to measure a person's emotional health is how long it takes to come back into balance after an event happens, of course this will vary based on the intensity of what you have experienced.
Let's be real if you have a really nasty breakup after a long term relationship, it's going to take longer to get over than a one month connection. The more balanced you are, the quicker and easier the movement forward.
Here is the tie into manifesting, if I'm still hurt or not at peace about a past event it will dramatically affect not only my ability to have a new person show up, but the person that shows up, could potentially reflect my hurt instead of what I want.
I wonder if that is one of the reasons why rebound relationships seldom work?
Today I'd like to look at "Spiritual" the first of the four areas from last week. Spiritual for me is the soul or essence of who I am. It's the part of me that holds the highest information as to who I am, what my truth is, as well as what I am here to do and who I am to become.
I wonder if "the still inner voice" is really my soul trying to communicate with me? What do you think?
Spiritual is also something much greater, the essence of nature, people, God (whatever word you are comfortable with) and the universe.
It seems to make sense that the degree I am connected "or one" would reflect my level of spiritual growth.
There is a lot of confusion around spiritual, emotional, consciousness and manifesting. What they are, how they work and even more so, how can I change my life by working in each area? All 4 areas are separate and yet they usually affect each other. This is a very important delineation.
Let's use the example of a rich unethical stockbroker. He/she will probably have a very low level of spiritual, emotional and overall consciousness, however; they will have a high level of financial manifesting consciousness.
The example I gave last week could be the exact opposite. The person couldn't pay their rent, which reflects a low level of financial manifesting consciousness, however; they had a fairly high spiritual and emotional consciousness. They could be at peace and totally fulfilled couch surfing, maybe not.
Which one of the four areas would you choose to grow in?
Throughout time people have always had a challenge getting the spiritual work or changes in consciousness they achieve to make a difference in their lives. It is not unusual for me to work with a person that has done a lot of emotional/spiritual work and they can't pay their rent. That's because increasing your consciousness or spiritual work and manifesting are two completely different skills.
Seeing them as separate is the first step in having them work together.
How has your week gone, did you have a chance to look at how "consciousness" might be getting in the way of fully living your life?
One of the many interesting things I've learned about spiritual consciousness is this — If you put something into the brain, a statement and especially a question, if it reflects a truth in you, subconsciously your whole system will start to churn away on it.
I guess part of the reason I'm saying this is to not sound like a schoolteacher "did you do your homework". It is generally true however, the more attention and exploration one puts on something the faster the result will be experienced.
Attracting and having an amazing soul relationship is also about letting the subconscious spiritual consciousness churn away on something and then letting the information and the realizations surface.
A common definition of chemistry would be "an experience that comes through the senses that is appealing to the individual." Some of these senses could be visual, auditory, emotional and or kinaesthetic.
So what does consciousness have to do with chemistry? A whole lot actually!
Let's look at an example, Becky and Tom have a huge amount of emotional, physical and spiritual chemistry. Becky's last 3 relationships really hurt her and as a result she has an edge around men and is not ready to completely trust. Becky's hurts may dominate the connection and lead to actions that she does not want or intend to create. The worst part is that it may muddy or destroy the attraction and hide the potential, all of this can happen in a way that is totally unconscious. The Becky and Tom example is relevant on a first date or in a long term relationship. It's always a good thing to be aware of what is underlying our feelings and actions.
This week I invite you to look at how your "consciousness" might be getting in the way of what you want.
Where do my decisions come from?
The first thing we need to do is to realize that there are two different systems or main categories that we make our decisions from. Each of the two systems have several subsystems within them. This article and the next few will be dealing with the two main areas, we will get into the subsystems later.
Every person I have ever worked with (including myself) ponders the question "should I trust my intuition or my analysis?" These are the two main categories that we make decisions from.
At one extreme, society and our academic systems have us believing that the analytic way of making decisions must be better, and yet there are mistakes made by even the most well trained people. On the other side of the pendulum is the person who leads life from their intuition, and in some cases they can't get their lives to work.
What is a person to do? The first step is to understand that there are two very distinct areas that we gain decision making information from. That both areas have strong points and weak areas.
For the next number of posts I'd like to go into each area of what most people call goal setting.
I use the term "goal wishing" to describe the starting and sometimes ending point for most people's "goal setting" adventures. Having something come to mind like a new job, more money a house etc. can be the start of what needs to be experienced, however this is a very incomplete and risky place to run your life from! As an example; the dream or wish of having a house is this simply a programmed social response, or should we really be going back to school? This is why the process of "goal visioning" is so important, it gets you in touch with what your inner self (higher) really needs to have happen and also the sequence it is to happen in.
How many times do we expend a lot of time, money and life energy chasing a goal that turns out to have the wrong timing or it's just plain an uphill battle. I don't know about you, I'm fairly sure I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the dead end journeys as well as the number of years lost.
"Goal Visioning" is usually a guided process that takes a person past the "I want this" to a place of "knowing" what they need to do, have or accomplish. When your actions are coming from a connection with your higher self, life sure becomes a whole lot easier.
To summarize, the first two steps are "Goal Wishing" and "Goal Visioning" next week we will discuss the third step.
I don't mean to sound trite, if the end of the world might be this year why would I worry about something I can do nothing about? All that would be accomplished is less growth and productivity for myself, and more fear added into a world that already has too much. Whatever I put my time, focus and energy into always produces some sort of a result. It may not be what I want though.
The beginning of each year historically is the time for us to get clear on what we would like the next 12 months to look like, to use a well know word "resolution" as we know resolutions very seldom produce results.
Over the past 15 years of supporting people one thing has become abundantly clear, simply writing a goal on a piece of paper very seldom produces sustainable results. Combining vision, intuition, knowledge and success consciousness does give us what we want, by adding in the passion, knowledge and connection as to why we are here (purpose) then our lives will change and watch out world!
Our personal sense of happiness, fulfillment and power (to name a few), that exist in nearly every moment is beyond words.
This is my intent, to guide individuals into fully living their purpose with awareness, direction and prosperity. This is truly where the good stuff in life exists!
Hi I'm Patrick Hercus and welcome to our second conversation.
One of the first and most important building blocks to developing "Success Consciousness" is to retrain our minds so we can see what we have never seen before.
This reminds me of a psychology/anthropology study from university.
There was a tribe in Africa that had never had any outside influences from other cultures or societies. Everything in their world was round and curved; trees, people even their huts. The anthropologists built a small house, the type we are used to, where everything is flat with corners. The natives walked into the walls and the corners, their brains had no memories or context in which to place this new experience. They just didn't see the structure.
We are no different! Our society programs us to think, see and act in a certain way.
How many times do you keep bumping into walls that you don't see? How many times do you keep doing things the same way expecting different results?
Every so often a person crosses our path that makes a memorable difference, one of those moments happened in my early twenties. This is what I was taught.
What we don't know that we don't know about visioning, intuition and "Success Consciousness" will get us every time.
Thanks for being apart of this conversation, if you have any questions or feedback feel free to be in contact.


Serapis, bright bold colors, and festive decor are a few things you'll need to throw a Fiesta Party for Cinco de Mayo. If you're looking for some colorful party ideas, you'll want to stick around to see what I've created!
Let's start with this amazing Fiesta arch. It works great as a walkway into your party, but I really wanted to use it as part of my Fiesta table decor! It was so much larger than I expected - I fit a 4' table inside perfectly. Then, I hung a gold metallic curtain in the background.
The neat part about ordering from Shindigz is that you can personalize some of their party decor with any message - I chose "let's fiesta"! I added some teal colored lace paper lanterns for an added pop of color. I hung a Del Sol banner, and gold metallic fringe in front of the arch and it all looked so festive!
I also added colorful Fiesta themed paper fans to the front of the arch.
One of the first things I enjoy doing after I pick my party theme is to shop for party decor! When it comes to fiestas, you can't go wrong with vivid colors, and pinatas!
For a festive table setting, I used a serapi as my tablecover. I added some gold chargers, and bold red plates. I took a pair of maracas that I spray painted gold, and set them on each plate.
Right before my party, I went down to the flower district in Los Angeles, CA. There I found a wonderful selection of beautiful, fresh flowers! I even bought a few succulent plants. They added a great element to our celebration.
I used sombreros as part of my cinco de mayo decor as well. I attached a hat to the backs of each guest's chair.
While your party guests are waiting for the main course, satisfy their appetite with tasty treats of pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread), cups of fresh fruit, sweet peppers topped with fresh guacamole, and of course... Margaritas! The gold sequins runner brought a sparkly touch to the food display.
Even drinks look festive when decorated with fun drink stirers like this one, from Creativities Galore.
The sweet pepper & lime are a fun touch that your party guests will love.
Shrimp ceviche is one of my favorites! I served the seafood mixture in clear tumblers, over tortilla chips, and topped with lime and avocado slices.
Sweet peppers were sliced lengthwise and filled with guacamole. They were the perfect appetizer for a sweet, crunchy, and bold kick!
Be sure to pin this for your Fiesta!
Hermosa fiesta!Everything looks amazing and beautiful.
Taina, thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words. I had so much fun creating this fiesta!
Where did you get the bright goblets with gold rims? Are those old from the target oh joy collection?
Hi there! Yes, they're from the oh joy collection! I love how versatile they are. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Where!!!! Did you get the colorful cake stands?! I can't find them anywhere and those are exactly what I'm needing!! You did an awesome job at the decorations!

COVID-19 : Italy passes the milestone of 25 000 deaths
magictr | April 22, 2020 | Politic | No Comments
Italy has registered 437 new deaths from the coronavirus in 24 hours, bringing total deaths to 25-085, according to the latest balance sheet published on Wednesday.
The number of ill persons, however, declined for the third consecutive day and now totals 107 699, which is ten less in 24 hours.
The number of patients in the intensive care unit (2 384, -87 24 hours) is at its lowest level since march 18.
These positive signals are emerging, while the government is preparing to activate the " phase 2 ", which is aimed at reducing the drastic measures of containment in force since 9 march.
These measures expire on 3 may, and the government is discussing with the social partners and the regions for a graceful restart of economic activities.
The paralysis of recent weeks will lead to a decline of 9.1% of GDP in 2020, according to the international monetary Fund.
According to the Italian media, Rome plans for example to encourage telecommuting, and to restrict the meetings in favor of teleconferences, or limit the number of travellers in public transport.
The wearing of protective masks should be generalized, and the respect of the safety distance (1 or 2 meters, depending on the assumptions) is maintained.
"The masks must also be worn in the street: it is a condition sine qua non. Not to catch the coronavirus, it is necessary to use the mask (…) It is like driving a motorcycle without a helmet ", has said to the press, the president of the region of Veneto (North), Luca Zaia.
The three worst-hit regions of the peninsula remain the Lombardy region (North), with 69 092 cases and 12 740 dead, Emilia-Romagna (Centre-North, 23 434 cases and 3204 the dead), and Piedmont (North-West, 22 739 cases and 2559 dead).
The health professions have also paid a heavy price: 143 doctors are dead, according to the last balance sheet prepared by their professional federation, in addition to 34 nurses, according to their national federation.

En markreserv är ett område med mark som är inlöst av en kommun för att kunna ha till framtida exploatering av tätorter, industri, fritidsaktivitetsområde eller liknande. En markreserv är oftast inte detaljplanerad, och man kan oftast fortsätta använda marken till det som den är mest lämpad för (oftast jord- eller skogsbruk) tills en detaljplan har antagits. Brukaren blir då arrendator enligt jordabalken. Enligt lag ska varje kommun inneha en viss storlek på sin markreserv, för att kunna korta ledtiderna från behov till färdig exploatering.

När området är färdigexploaterat kan äganderätten antingen överföras till privat fastighetsägare eller kvarstå i kommunens ägo.

Vatican II Made Simple
"Fr. O'Shea has written a clear, simple, but profound analysis of the Second Vatican Council for people unaware of its importance and impact on the Roman Catholic Church. His writing will help both Catholic and other Christians who seek a deeper understanding of the Roman Catholic Church as it enters a new millennium."
Archbishop John Bathersby DD, Archbishop of Brisbane.
During the Brisbane Archdiocesan Synod 2003, there were some calls for a "Vatican II for Dummies" - since many, perhaps most, Catholic laity have not read any of the documents, and perhaps have a poor understanding of the significance of the Council.
Meanwhile, also in 2003, Fr Bill O'Shea had written a series of articles in a parish newsletter to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council. In every parish which ran them (and several did), the articles caused widespread interest and lively discussion. A young woman in her early 30s said she learnt a lot about the modern Church from this book.
Community for a Better World (Movement for a Better World Inc) Australia, published the articles as a short (73 page) booklet in early 2005. Easy to read, it aims to provide a simple, user-friendly reminder of what the Council did and its significance for the Church today.
We believe this little book, described by a distributor as delightful and beautifully produced, fulfils the call for a "Vatican II for Dummies", a view shared by Archbishop Bathersby in his endorsement.
Over 4000 copies have been sold and because of renewed interest in this 50th anniversary of the opening of the Council, the book has been reprinted.

~ Book Excerpts ~
The Second Vatican Council (1962-65) can be seen as a cultural event as much as a religious event; a cultural event which revealed how much the world had changed and which continues to influence further change. It was an event which introduced processes that are still at work and continue to influence the directions of further change within our church.
We are, or should be, less inclined to see the Church today primarily as a hierarchical institution. The Church now understands itself as the People of God, with the laity as much a part of the Church as are clergy and members of religious orders and congregations.
The Church should also show the presence of God's saving grace by the way it acts towards its own members. The mission of the Church includes essentially the struggle for justice and the transformation of the world. ...
A Church that proclaims justice outside its boundaries will only be credible if it also practises justice within. We must be broad enough to tolerate diversity and even dissent, always provided it does not strike at the heart of basic truths of the faith.
We have to be prepared to discern God's presence and activity "out there", and respond accordingly. We do not have a monopoly on the truth. It was Vatican II that taught us this also. We have to respect the "outsider", and defend his or her right to worship God in accordance with the demands of conscience.
We are called to be less inclined to argument and confrontation, and more to the way of listening and dialogue.

Do you know which Packages can be used Annotation for the GPL2507 Sentrix Human-6 Expression BeadChip? I can't find the right one now. Thanks!
Let's say you are interested in GSE3188, which has some data from that array.
 "NM_014332" "NM_013259" "NM_016299" "NM_016303" "NM_016305" "NM_016352"
And now the featureData slot of the ExpressionSet has the annotation, and if you use limma to analyze (which you probably should), then the topTable output will all be annotated with the data we just put in the ExpressionSet.
Nice! Thank you very much!!
