Australia drew the third Test against India to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series.
The home side declared on 318-9 at lunch on the final day, setting India 384 to win in 70 overs.
Virat Kohli (54) and Ajinkya Rahane (48) led India's resistance after they lost three wickets for 19 runs.
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Ravichandran Ashwin then survived a nervous final hour to push India to safety, as they closed on 174-6.
Australia resumed their second innings on 261-7 and had been expected to bat aggressively to add runs quickly before declaring, but Shaun Marsh and Ryan Harris took their time in a 69-run partnership, also knowing a draw would be enough for Australia to clinch the series.
Marsh was run out for 99 shortly before lunch as he attempted a rash single to bring up his first Test century on home soil.
After the break, Harris struck with the second ball of the second over to dismiss Shikhar Dhawan for a duck before Lokesh Rahul continued his forgettable Test debut by falling for one to a Mitchell Johnson short ball, following his three in the first innings.
Josh Hazlewood then claimed his first Test dismissal of the Test, trapping opener Murali Vijay lbw for 11 to leave India 19-3 after 8.2 overs.
But Kohli and Rahane steadied the innings to leave Australia needing seven wickets in the final session.
Kohli fell to the first ball after the tea break, caught at backward square leg, before Chetshewar Pujara was bowled by Johnson for 21 while Rahane was caught at mid-wicket off Hazlewood, to leave India on 142-6 with 15 overs remaining.
However, Dhoni, who announced his immediate retirement from Test cricket after the match, and Ashwin saw off 11 of the overs before a draw was mutually agreed with four overs remaining.
The result sees Australia regain the Border-Gavaskar trophy.
Australia stand-in captain Steve Smith hit a second century in two games to help leave the second Test with India finely poised.
Deputising for the injured Michael Clarke, Smith made 133 as the hosts posted 505, a first-innings lead of 97 at the Gabba.
Mitchell Johnson struck 88 as Ishant Sharma (3-117) and Umesh Yadav (3-101) shared six wickets.
India reached 71-1 by the close of day three, trailing by 26.
India's Murali Vijay, who made 144 on the first day, fell in the evening session when he played on trying to leave a delivery from Mitchell Starc.
However, Shikhar Dhawan and Cheteshwar Pujara negotiated a tricky final period without further loss and will resume on Saturday on 26 and 15 respectively.
Australia began the day on 221-4 and Smith, 65 not out overnight, brought up his sixth Test hundred off 147 balls before he chopped on off Ishant.
He made an unbeaten 162 and 52 not out as Australia won the first Test by 48 runs.
Starc (52) and debutant Josh Hazlewood (32) helped boost Australia's total with some valuable late-order hitting.
Murali Vijay struck an impressive century as India put themselves in a commanding position on day one of the second Test against Australia.
The 30-year-old batsman scored 144 as India reached 311-4 at stumps after winning the toss at the Gabba.
Australia endured a difficult day in Steve Smith's first Test as stand-in captain for the injured Michael Clarke.
In stifling heat Smith used eight bowlers as injury and fatigue took its toll on the Australia attack.
Mitchell Marsh pulled up with a hamstring injury, Mitchell Starc and debutant Josh Hazlewood left the field with exhaustion and Mitchell Johnson bowled through a hip problem.
Opener Vijay's hundred continued his fine start to the four-match series, with scores of 53 and 99 in India's 48-run defeat in the first Test.
Vijay was put down by Shaun Marsh on 36 and 102, both off left-arm pace bowler Johnson, before he was caught behind off spinner Nathan Lyon late in the day.
Mitchell Marsh struck first when he removed opener Shikhar Dhawan, his maiden Test wicket.
Hazlewood, the pick of the Australia attack, had Cheteshwar Pujara controversially caught off the grille of his helmet, then found Virat Kohli's edge as he tried to cut, leaving India 137-3.
But Vijay dominated a weary attack as he and Ajinkya Rahane shared a 124-run stand for the fourth wicket.
Rahane and Rohit Sharma will resume on day two on 75 and 26 respectively.
Off-spinner Nathan Lyon took 10 wickets in a Test match for the first time in his career as Australia beat India by 48 runs in the first Test at Adelaide.
India fell short of their target of 364 from 98 overs despite captain Virat Kohli's 141 and Murali Vijay's 99.
Lyon took 7-152 in the second innings to finish with match figures of 12-286.
But Australia captain Michael Clarke injured his hamstring while fielding and will miss the rest of the four-match series.
Australia declared on their overnight total of 290-5, and India looked comfortable in their pursuit of 364 as Kohli, deputising for the injured MS Dhoni, and opener Vijay put on 185 for the third wicket, to take India to 242-2.
Vijay fell in the 10th over after tea, lbw to Lyon one short of his century, and India's hopes further dimmed when having completed his second century of the match, Kohli was caught on the mid-wicket boundary by Mitchell Marsh off the bowling of Lyon.
Ishant Sharma was last out, stumped by stand-in captain Brad Haddin off Lyon, as Australia – wearing black armbands to honour their late team-mate Phillip Hughes, who died on 27 November, two days after being struck on the head by a ball during a Sheffield Shield game – wrapped up the win to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
Lyon, who was named as man of the match despite David Warner and Kohli both scoring hundreds in each innings, said Australia remained confident of winning, even when Kohli and Vijay seemed well set.
"It's Test match cricket, and there are always little turns and stories in the game. but we knew that if we stayed patient long enough, things would turn around," he said.
Kohli said India were determined to try and chase down the target rather than play for a draw at the Adelaide Oval.
"I told the guys last night that we had to come out tomorrow and chase it. I believed throughout in my own ability and the ability of the guys," he said.
Clarke said his side particularly wanted to record a victory in their first match since the death of their former team-mate Hughes.
"I think winning games of cricket are based on skill not emotion, but when you get the result you're after I think that's probably when you see the emotions come out," he said.

Joliet intersection to be expanded this year at Essington and Caton Farm roads
By BOB OKON - bokon@shawmedia.com
JOLIET – Road construction headaches this year at Essington and Caton Farm roads in Joliet should lead in the long run to more peace of mind for motorists.
The City Council on Tuesday is expected to vote on the acquisition of the last parcels needed to expand the intersection and add new traffic lights.
Most of the $2 million project is expected to be completed this year. Federal funds will cover 80 percent of the costs.
Public Works Director James Trizna told the council at a workshop meeting Monday that the project will involve lane closures but the intersection will remain open.
"There will be times you may have a lane closed due to construction," Trizna said. "But we will not have to have a detour."
The construction is likely to lead to traffic delays, however, since the improvements are aimed at relieving backups already occurring at the intersection.
Also, the city this year will replace the Caton Farm Road bridge west of Interstate 55. Both projects will take place at the same time, meaning driving on Caton Farm Road is likely to be challenging in 2016.
The bridge is expected to start in March and run through Thanksgiving. The intersection project is expected to start in summer and end by Thanksgiving.
The intersection improvements include:
• A new right-turn lane on southbound Essington Road for vehicles turning west onto Caton Farm Road
• A new right-turn lane on eastbound Caton Farm Road for traffic turning south onto Essington Road
• Lengthening the left-turn lane on eastbound Caton Farm Road for traffic turning north onto Essington Road, which will accommodate more cars headed to the nearby Louis Joliet Mall.
Trizna said the improvements are engineered to relieve backups that occur now so traffic will flow more smoothly through the intersection.
Councilman John Gerl said the added right-turn lane on southbound Essington Road should make driving easier for mall customers.
"I think what this is going to do a lot for is those people coming out of the mall making that right turn. That gets way backed up," Gerl said.
Trizna said the intersection expansion is not expected to make much difference for mall access. But he did say that improvements made a few years ago at the intersection of Essington Road and Hennepin Drive have made it easier to get into the mall, although traffic still gets congested during the holiday shopping season.
"Most times of the year, except for the Christmas rush, that intersection works very well," he said.
The council Tuesday will vote on appropriations for $1.8 million in construction costs and nearly $250,000 in engineering costs, 80 percent of which will be covered by federal grants, Trizna said.
The three parcels of property that would be acquired if approved Tuesday mark the last of 13 parcels to be acquired for the project. The cost of the three parcels is $190,150, which would put the total cost of land acquisition at about $240,000, Trizna said.

New Visiting Fellow for ACoRNS
ACoRNS News / By Sophie Hall
Dr Ruth Moyse
We are delighted to welcome Dr Ruth Moyse as an ACoRNS Visiting Fellow at the University. Ruth's Doctoral research at the University of Reading was titled: 'Missing: The autistic girls absent from mainstream secondary schools'.
Ruth drew upon a range of data including from the Department for Education and the NHS and, most crucially, from semi-structured, participatory interviews with 10 adolescent autistic females. Her findings showed that the number of autistic female pupils at mainstream schools in England is increasing, and that adolescent autistic girls were more likely than autistic boys or non-autistic boys or girls to be persistent absentees. NHS data from one region in the South East showed that the mean age of referral for girls was decreasing, but that boys were still referred and diagnosed younger, and that there were wide discrepancies in rates of referral between different regions.
The lived experiences of autistic females were powerful and highlighted that they wanted to be in a school, learning but felt disengaged and excluded from school environments that were profoundly damaging to their mental health. The lack of support and understanding they experienced were partly the result of their voice being undermined or overlooked, contrary to UK legislation and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Ruth's research outlines some important implications for practice and her thesis can be accessed here.
We are very much looking forward to working with Ruth and drawing on her expertise to inform ACoRNS research. Ruth says:
"I'm thrilled to join with the ACoRNS team, having long been a fan! Working with people who share the same passion for genuinely participatory autism research is really exciting and is a chance for me to learn from new colleagues with a breadth of experience, as well as contribute from my perspective as an autistic woman. I hope to get involved with some existing projects as well as plan some future research and am open to whatever other opportunities arise!"

Recognizing Deaf History Month 2022
By gswnyblog on April 2, 2022 • ( 3 Comments )
Students from St. Mary's School for the Deaf signing The Girl Scout Promise
Deaf History Month is a time to commemorate and recognize the accomplishments of people who hard of hearing and deaf. Currently it is celebrated during April. It formerly spanned two months, March 13 to April 15, to include three significant days for the Deaf community:
The last day of Deaf History Month marks the earliest milestone included for the Deaf community. Dr. Mason Cogswell recognized the need for a school after his daughter, Alice, was deafened by a fever in childhood. At the time, there were no options in the United States available. He asked Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet for assistance, and after touring schools in Europe, he returned and opened what is now the American School for the Deaf, the oldest permanent school in the country for the deaf.
A school for deaf and heard of hearing children was a good first step, but soon the need for advanced education became clear. Edward Miner Galluadet, son of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, was one of the citizens fighting for an additional school. This led to the creation of the Columbia Institution for the Instruction of the Dead and Dumb and the Blind in 1857. The school grew rapidly, eventually leading to President Lincoln signing and enabling them to grant college degrees. April 8 became the charter day of what was now called Gallaudet University.
Girl Scout afterschool program at St. Mary's School for the Deaf
Even though Gallaudet University was the first university of its kind, it still had its shortcomings. For its more than 100 year history, the Deaf community felt that the Deaf were underrepresented in the faculty selection. In 1988, the current president resigned, and the students began advocating for a deaf president. After a long search, the board narrowed it down to three candidates, two of which were deaf. On March 6, the hearing candidate was officially selected, causing outrage that led to marches and protests. Eventually, after much back and forth, the original choice resigned, allowing Irving King Jordan to become the first deaf president.
'Deaf President Now' was the cry of the students and community, and while it addressed that particular situation, it now serves as a larger stance of empowerment. The phrase represents the self-determination of deaf and hard of hearing people around the world.
Juliette Gordon Low, founder of Girl Scouts, was almost totally deaf as an adult. In her late teens and early 20s, she developed an infection in one ear that wasn't treated properly, causing her to be partially deaf. A few years later, on her wedding day, a piece of rice was lodged in her other ear, leading her to lose most of her hearing in it as well.
None of this stopped her determination or drive in life. It was later, after losing most of her hearing, that she went on to found Girl Scouts in the United States and create the legacy of building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.
This month (and beyond!) continue to educate yourself about the Deaf community and all of their achievements. Spread awareness about these and reach out to companies to make sure they are supporting their obligations. Donate what you can to deaf-based charities and seek out deaf businesses that you can support.

Great blog post! Growing up with a hearing loss is not easy. I know from experience. Audism is an often overlooked equity and inclusion issue. Through my own hearing loss and my efforts to learn ASL I have been fortunate to meet many awesome deaf women in my community who struggle daily to be recognized for their intelligence, their talents, and their value in the workplace and the community. They are definitely women of courage, character, and conviction, but they struggle to maintain confidence. Certainly they make the world a better place!

BC Lions Stadium
One of the world's most beautiful stadiums from the outside-in, BC Place is Vancouver's multi-purpose stadium located on the north side of False Creek. It houses the BC Lions and the Vancouver Whitecaps FC of the MLS. It also hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics and 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup and features the annual Canada Sevens. Opened in 1983, it was the world's largest air-supported domed stadium until 2010.
BC Place Seating Chart
Around 2008, the stadium underwent major renovations in preparation for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Everything from the concourses to seats to washrooms were upgraded. [+]
The main focus was the roof, which was upgraded to become the largest cable-supported retractable roof in the world. The revolving doors were replaced with clear glass doors allowing fans to enter and exit the stadium much more easily. Over a thousand new HDTV screens were added along with a new state-of-the-art sound system.
BC Lions Home Schedule
The BC Lions are the CFL's model of excellence. They made the playoffs for 20 consecutive seasons from 1997 to 2016, which is the longest active streak and second-longest in CFL history.
They have won the Grey Cup six times and became the first Western CFL team to win it at home in 1994, a feat they repeated in 2011.
They are the oldest pro sports franchise based in Vancouver being founded in 1954. No matter what their record is, they are always a threat to win the Grey Cup.

Hotels Near BC Place
Vancouver is home to some of the best hotels and there are plenty within the BC Place's vicinity. The YWCA Hotel is one of the best budget hotels that has a lovely atmosphere and perfect for a short stay in the city. The Hampton Inn & Suites is also right around the corner and is beautifully designed with welcoming accommodations. But the Sunset Inn and Suites is arguably the best value around town. It is clean, quiet and spacious with great customer service. It's a bit further than the YWCA and Hampton but it's still within walking distance.

CHICAGO (AP) - A new study that state legislators commissioned has found legal recreational marijuana in Illinois could drive demand to far more than what licensed growers could supply.
The Chicago Tribune reports the study says demand could be as high as 550,000 pounds a year. Democratic state Sen. Heather Steans of Chicago and Democratic state Rep. Kelly Cassidy of Chicago commissioned the report from a Colorado consulting firm. They are sponsoring legislation to legalize recreational marijuana.
Illinois already allows medical marijuana and has 16 licensed growers who say they can meet increased demand. The Medical Cannabis Alliance of Illinois has said adding more cultivators could lead to a glut and illegal diversion.
The study found current growers could only meet 35 to 54 percent of demand if recreational marijuana were legalized in Illinois.

No shit & you know it has to be worse than that!
Is America suffering protest fatigue? Support for BLM demonstrations falls to 39% from 54% in three months amid fresh unrest over Breonna Taylor ruling
Support for Black Lives Matter protests has plunged since June, new poll shows
Those who support the protests are now in the minority, with just 39% in favour
It comes as both black and white Americans are more likely to view marches as violence, though opinion has shifted much faster among whites
Political scientist Christian Davenport put shift down to 'compassion fatigue'
By CHRIS PLEASANCE FOR MAILONLINE
PUBLISHED: 08:25 EDT, 25 September 2020 | UPDATED: 09:14 EDT, 25 September 2020
protests is falling across the country after months of unrest that has seen people killed, shops burned, and frequent clashes between activists and police.
A new poll shows that just 39 per cent of Americans now approve of the protests, down from 54 per cent in June, while 44 per cent of now disapprove of them.
University of Michigan political scientist Christian Davenport put the change down to 'compassion fatigue', as outrage over videos such as the one of George Floyd has faded, with people now wanting a return to their everyday lives.
The shift also appears to have been driven by perceptions of violence, with almost a third of Americans saying the protest are now 'mostly or always violent', up from 22 per cent three months ago.
Meanwhile the number of people who said the protests were 'always peaceful' fell from 27 per cent to 23 per cent, and the number who said they were 'sometimes violent' also fell, from 51 per cent to 47 per cent now.
The figures will be watched closely by politicians on both sides of the aisle, with both Joe Biden and Donald Trump presenting themselves as the 'law and order' candidate with the November election looming.
It also comes amid fresh unrest across the country following the indictment of one police officer over the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor, though not for the shots that killed her, which sparked fresh unrest.
Support for Black Lives Matter protests has fallen across the country in the last three months, as perceptions around violence at the marches has shifted
In June, after the death of George Floyd, 54 per cent of Americans said they supported the protests, while just 39 per cent do now – with support falling among blacks and whites
Americans were also more likely to see the protests as 'all violent', with the biggest shift coming among whites, though opinion is also shifting among black Americans
The shift in support for the protesters was most pronounced among white Americans, 20 per cent of whom believed protests were mostly or all violent back in June, rising to 33 per cent now.
White Americans were also less likely to view the protests as all peaceful – down from 27 per cent to 23 per cent – and also less likely to view them as sometimes violent – down from 51 per cent to 47 per cent.
A similar shift was observed among black Americans, though to a much lesser extent – seven per cent saw protests as 'all or mostly violent' back in June, compared to 10 per cent now.
EXCLUSIVE: 'It should be attempted murder at a minimum!'… Shocking moment a pickup truck hits a female BLM protester…
The number of black Americans who saw the protests as 'almost all peaceful' also fell, from 44 per cent in June to 35 per cent now.
The number who saw the demonstrations as 'sometimes violent' grew from 47 per cent to 54 per cent.
The poll was conducted by The Associated Press along with the University of Chicago's NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, between September 11 and 14.
That means the survey was carried out before the decision to charge one police officer over the death of Breonna Taylor was announced, which sparked more unrest and violence across the country.
Overnight, demonstrators in cities from New York to Las Vegas marched through streets and chanted Taylor's name.
Americans were also much less likely to agree with the statement that violence against the public is a 'very serious problem', with the largest shift coming among whites
Meanwhile, Americans were much more concerned with violence against the police in September than three months previously
BLM protesters set fire outside Seattle PD amid Breonna Taylor riots
Two officers were wounded by gunfire at protests in Louisville, where authorities made close to 100 arrests on charges of damaging businesses, refusing to disperse after curfew and unlawful assembly.
The poll finds the percentage of Americans who believe police violence unequally targets Black Americans and that greater consequences for police brutality are necessary have also fallen from June, when an AP-NORC survey found sweeping changes in how Americans view these issues.
The June survey followed the late May killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, which renewed focus on Taylor's earlier death, in March.
On Wednesday, a Kentucky grand jury declined to charge any officers for their role in Taylor's killing; she was shot multiple times after officers entered her home using a no-knock warrant during a narcotics investigation.
Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said an investigation of the case yielded evidence that officers announced themselves before entering.
It was Floyd's death in Minneapolis – captured on video by witnesses – that sparked several months of nationwide unrest in which hundreds of thousands of Americans protested against systemic racism and police brutality.
Others, including President Donald Trump, expressed solidarity with police and law enforcement officers.
The new poll finds the recent shift in opinion is pronounced among white Americans and Republicans, whose views on police violence and racial inequity in policing look closer to the way they did in 2015, before Trump was elected.
Just 35% of white Americans approve of the protests now, while 50% disapprove. In June, 53% approved, while 34% disapproved.
However, a majority of Americans still agree that police who cause death and injury are still treated too lightly by the justice system
Opinion is now evenly split between those who feel police are more likely to use deadly force against black people, and those who feel they are not
Among Latinos, 31% approve, compared with 44% in June; 63% of Black Americans support the protests, down from 81%, with more now saying they neither approve nor disapprove.
'I was supportive back in June, but after seeing everything up until now, I'm almost dead against them,' said Dave Hipelious, 63, of New Lenox, Illinois, who is a retired pipe fitter in the energy industry.
Hipelious, who is white, said his support for the protests soured when he saw violent unrest, arson and looting that marred the largely peaceful demonstrations following Floyd's death.
'I was a pretty wild young man,' Hipelious said. 'Every time the police stopped me, and every issue I had with them, I was completely in the wrong. I do believe they are doing their job right.'
Eighty-four percent of Black Americans, but just 42% of white Americans and 50% of Latinos, say police more often use deadly force against a Black person than a white person.
While 74% of Black Americans say the criminal justice system is too lenient when officers cause injury or death, 47% of white Americans and 50% of Latinos say the same.
University of Michigan political scientist Christian Davenport said the nation has historically seen public support wane among white Americans for social justice movements – what he calls 'compassion fatigue.'
'When this was all about the video and the visceral response to seeing someone's life get squeezed out of them, that's fine,' Davenport said.
'But from the moment that topic is raised to awareness, the clock starts ticking with regards to, `How quickly can we resolve this so I can get back to my normal life?"
The figures will be watched closely by both Donald Trump and Joe Biden, both of whom are positioning themselves as the 'law and order' candidate at the election
A majority of Americans believe that Trump is doing a bad job of both race relations and policing, though the President holds a narrow lead among whites on the issue of policing
Trump bashes Biden supporters as 'anti-police crusaders'
The change also comes after months of political sparring between Democrats and Republicans, including Trump. Both sides hope to use the protests to their advantage in the upcoming general election.
Among Republicans, 75% say they disapprove of the protests, up from 56% in June. Just 9% approve, down from 29% then.
And more Republicans now describe protests as mostly or all violent, 52% vs. 36%.
Among Democrats, 70% approve, and close to half describe them as mostly or all peaceful. Still, roughly as many describe them as a mix of both.
BriAndia Andrews, 21, of Bloomington, Illinois, who is Black, said she believes most of the protests have been done 'correctly.' Still, she feels 'our voices are not going to be heard once you have people looting and stuff like that.'
Given how race in America has become a key focus of politics this year, Andrews said she believes opinions about the protests among white Americans and Republicans only changed because of Trump's rhetoric.
'If you're a Trump supporter and you were also protesting, that could have influenced your opinion of the protests,' she said.
Overall, Americans are less likely than they were in June to say deadly force is more commonly used against a Black person than a white person, 50% vs. 61%.
And fewer now say that officers who cause injury or death on the job are treated too leniently by the justice system, 52% vs. 65%.
The poll reflects a reality that, despite an unprecedented show of support for the movement over the summer, a majority have not participated, said the Rev. Starsky Wilson, the incoming president of the Children's Defense Fund.
'We have malformed memory about what peaceful assembly and public protest has always looked like,' said Wilson, who served as co-chair of the Ferguson Commission, a group that recommended reforms after the 2014 police shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.
'Many of the things that we remember fondly now are things that were reviled in the moment,' he said.

Chris Beard out as head coach of Texas after felony domestic violence charge

Less than a month ago, Texas men's basketball coach Chris Beard had a dream job at his alma mater, a $35 million contract, a glittering new arena to sell to recruits and a roster capable of contending for the national title.
Now, he has thrown all of that away.
Texas fired Beard on Thursday following his arrest on a felony domestic violence charge on Dec. 12. Beard, 49, allegedly assaulted his fiancée at their Austin home by strangling her and impeding her breathing.
"The University of Texas has parted ways with Chris Beard," athletic director Chris Del Conte said in a statement Thursday. "This has been a difficult situation that we've been diligently working through. Today I informed Mr. Beard of our decision to terminate him effective immediately."
Rodney Terry, who has been serving as head coach since Dec. 12, will remain the acting head coach for the remainder of the season.
Beard's firing stems from a dispute that took place in the early morning hours of Dec. 12. Austin police told Yahoo Sports they received a 911 call at 12:15 am They immediately dispatched officers to a home on the 1900 block of Vista Lane in Tarrytown, an upscale Austin neighborhood near the UT campus.
According to that Beard's arrest affidavit first obtained by the Austin American-Statesman, a woman answered the door and identified herself as Beard's fiancee. She said that she and Beard "had been upset with each other for a couple of days regarding relationship issues."
The argument that night allegedly escalated when the woman became frustrated with Beard, took his reading glasses out of his hand and broke them. Beard, the woman alleges in the affidavit, then followed her back to their bedroom and slapped the glasses she was wearing off her face.
As the woman attempted to retrieve her glasses, Beard "just snapped" and "became super violent," she said, according to the arrest affidavit. Beard, the woman alleges, then "choked me, threw me off the bed, bit me, bruises all over my leg, throwing me around, and going nuts." She said Beard choked her from behind for "like 5 seconds" hard enough that she couldn't breathe.
When explaining why she called 911, the woman told police, "I just didn't feel safe."
Officers on the scene arrested Beard after observing bite marks, cuts and abrasions on the woman. Beard faces a third-degree felony charge of assault on a member of a family or household by impeding breath circulation, according to the Travis County Sheriff's Office.
Perry Minton, Beard's Austin-based attorney, has not responded to multiple messages from Yahoo Sports seeking comment. In a statement released to multiple Austin-based media outlets on the morning of Beard's arrest, Minton said, "Coach Beard is 100 percent innocent of these charges. He should have never been arrested. The complainant wants him released immediately and all charges dismissed. It is truly inconceivable."
Beard appeared at a bond hearing on the afternoon of his arrest, handcuffed and clad in a black-and-gray-striped prison jumpsuit. Bail was set at $10,000 on the condition that for two months Beard does not go within 200 yards of the alleged victim or the Vista Lane home. He has the right to communicate with the victim from afar as long as it is not in "a threatening or harassing manner." After posting bond, Beard answered no questions from reporters as he and his attorney exited the jail and climbed into the back of a waiting SUV.
Texas suspended Beard "until further notice" the evening of his arrest, saying in a statement that it "takes matters of interpersonal violence involving members of its community seriously."
On Dec. 23, 11 days after the incident, Beard's fiancée released a statement apologizing for the situation and claimed that Beard did not strangle her that night.
"Chris and I are deeply saddened that we have brought negative attention upon our family, friends, and the University of Texas, among others. As Chris' fiancé [sic] and biggest supporter, I apologize for the role I played in this unfortunate event. I realize that my frustration, when breaking his glasses, initiated a physical struggle between Chris and myself. Chris did not strangle me, and I told that to law enforcement that evening. Chris has stated that he was acting in self-defense, and I do not refute that. I do not believe Chris was trying to intentionally harm me in any way. It was never my intention to have him arrested or prosecuted. We appreciate everyone's support and prayers during this difficult time."
Texas hired Beard on April 1, 2021, giving him a massive seven-year, $35 million contract to return to his alma mater and revive its underachieving men's basketball program. Beard was hailed as a home-run hire after he led Texas Tech to the Elite Eight in 2018 and the national title game in 2019.
The combination of Texas' brand and Beard's coaching and recruiting prowess quickly returned the Longhorns to national relevance. At the time of Beard's arrest, Texas was off to its best start in years, sitting 7-1 overall and ranked No. 2 in the AP Top 25.
In Beard's absence, Terry has slid over to the head coaching position and Texas has sputtered but not collapsed. The Longhorns survived in overtime against Rice the night of Beard's arrest and reeled off four more wins thereafter. Their lone loss since Beard's arrest was a 116-103 upset at the hands of Kansas State on Tuesday night in Austin.
Whether the program can remain on a long-term upward trajectory without Beard is less clear. Beard was supposed to be the coach who could take Texas back to the Final Four for the first time since 2003 and perhaps capture the program's first national championship. Now, less than two years after Beard was hired, the Longhorns must begin their search for a replacement.

Animal-Rights Activists Angered as Video of Bull Attacking Zorb Footballers Goes Viral
The controversial video has over 24 million views on Facebook...
by Stuart Kenny
stuartkenny92 stuartkenny
Sometimes America can be a ridiculous country; something most reasonable Americans are more than aware of.
We could generate a big list of examples to back up the argument above, as is traditionally done, but it would either start or end with Donald Trump, which would in turn remind us how much of a mess the United Kingdom is in itself at the moment, and make us get all sulky, roll up in a corner with a cup of tea and cry.
So we're not going to do that.
But another reason we're not going to do that is because once you've seen the video below there'll be no reason to exemplify Murica any further. It's freakin' ridiculous. It's a bunch of absolute morons trying to play zorb football at the Waconia Minnesota Professional Rodeo while getting attacked by an angry, and possibly provoked, bull.
Thing is, once you've gotten over the utter bewilderment which comes with this video, and the stupidity of anyone who could play it, it's actually pretty disturbing.
The video has been seen by over 24 million people on Facebook and animal rights activists have quite rightly been raising concerns over the welfare of the bull involved.
The main arguments focus around the use of any animal for entertainment such as this and some activists even raising concerns that the band that can be seen around the back of the bull is there to crush its midsection and genitals and encourage it to attack the 'players'.
We're not sure how much of this is true as there is little information about the video online, but this strikes us as a whole new level of stupidity.

Tiger That Was 75% Underweight In 2011 Makes Astonishing Recovery After Being Rescued


A year and a half ago, I was able to get a DLSR and have even be able to upgrade a few things, and feel like the major technical hurdles are behind me (f-stops, shutter speeds, focal lengths), what remains is putting emotion, soul even, into images. How does one translate inspiration into a .CR2 or .jpeg (or a print)? Faster lenses and large sensors help, but they don't do any more than they're told.
I enjoy taking photos to help tell the stories of climbing and skiing and the back-story of a big day, however living in Salt Lake City, the market for such images is utterly and totally saturated. I have a day job that I'm good at and am not interested in leaving (I love design), but I would like to find a way into the part-time-photographer world. There seem to be lots of ways to get paid in photography, but far fewer ways to get paid shooting what I love.
Trying to figure out the non-technical side of photography feels similar to angst of being inspired (or in my case, not feeling inspired) to climb things that are above my ability at the moment and require more of you as a climber than you currently offer (think the mantle on the 5th pitch of Nutcracker in Yosemite Valley).
If I knew what directions to start jumping, I could work on the courage to jump. And that about sums it up.

Das Versuchs- und Bildungszentrum Landwirtschaft Haus Düsse mit Zentrum für nachwachsende Rohstoffe NRW ist eine 1641 von Adrian van der Düssen erbaute Wasserburg und dient heute der Landwirtschaftskammer Nordrhein-Westfalen als zentrale Bildungs- und Versuchseinrichtung für Tier- und Pflanzenproduktion.

Lage
Haus Düsse liegt im Ortsteil Bad Sassendorf-Ostinghausen, 10 km nordöstlich von Soest, etwa in der Mitte zwischen Soest und Lippstadt. Ostinghausen sollte dabei nicht mit dem benachbarten Oestinghausen etwa 7 km nordöstlich von Soest verwechselt werden.

Haus Düsse befindet sich im nördlichen Randgebiet der Soester Börde. Die Höhenlage beträgt im Mittel 70 m über NN. Die Ackerzahlen wurden zwischen 58 und 78 Bodenpunkten festgelegt. Die Böden sind aus Lössablagerungen entstanden. Im Gegensatz zu den anderen bekannten, vergleichbaren deutschen Böden zeichnet sich die Soester Börde durch höhere Niederschläge aus. Die durchschnittliche Jahresniederschlagsmenge beträgt 750 mm und die durchschnittliche Jahrestemperatur 9,2 °C.

Die Bodenentwicklung auf Haus Düsse ist sehr stark von der hohen Durchfeuchtung und vom stark schwankenden Grundwasser beeinflusst worden. Vorherrschende Bodentypen des Versuchsgutes sind Gley-Parabraunerden und Parabraunerden-Gleye. In den Senken und Tallagen kommen auch Gleye, braune Aueböden und Auegleye vor. Die wasserhaltende Kraft der Böden ist gut. Die Humusgehalte liegen zwischen 2 und 4 %, die Schluffgehalte betragen ca. 80 %. Fast alle Böden auf Haus Düsse sind sehr druckempfindlich und neigen zur Verschlämmung. Die Bodenbearbeitung darf daher nicht zu fein erfolgen.

Aufgrund der natürlichen Voraussetzungen von Haus Düsse, die für ein großes Gebiet der Soester Börde zutreffen, spielt hier der Getreidebau schon immer eine überragende Rolle. Es hat eine sinnvolle Anpassung in der Auswahl der Kulturarten an die Standortverhältnisse stattgefunden.

Geschichte

Vor 1927

Im Jahre 1231 wird das "Rittergut Ostinghausen" erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. Es gehörte zu den umfangreichen Besitzungen des Grafen von Arnsberg. Bis 1641 stand das Rittersgut im Besitz verschiedener westfälischer Adelsgeschlechter. Am 5. Dezember 1641 verkaufte es Friedrich Freiherr von Fürstenberg an Adrian van der Düssen.

Van der Düssen war der Schwiegersohn des holländischen Staatsmanns Johan van Oldenbarnevelt. In dieser Rolle geriet er in die damaligen Glaubensstreitigkeiten. Aufgrund seiner Beteiligung an einem Mordkomplott gegen den Prinzen Moritz von Oranien musste er aus Holland fliehen, und zwar von Rotterdam nach Hamm in Westfalen. Während des Dreißigjährigen Krieges war er Oberst und Generalkriegskommissar im Heere Tillys. In dieser Zeit erwarb er großen Grundbesitz in Bettinghausen. Nach seiner Rückkehr aus dem Kriegsdienst errichtete er auf dem bei Bettinghausen liegenden und bis dahin verwaisten Rittergut Ostinghausen ein Wasserschloss als neues Herrenhaus. Der 1641 begonnene Bau wurde 1655 fertiggestellt und erhielt den Namen "Haus Düsse".

Bereits 1741 wechselte Haus Düsse durch Heirat in den Besitz der Familie von Ledebur-Wicheln. Friedrich Clemens von Ledebur-Wicheln wurde 1770 auf Haus Düsse geboren. 1889 erwarb Friedrich von Landsberg-Velen und Gemen das Gut. Am 15. August 1907 wurde Haus Düsse Provinzialgut des Provinzialverbandes der Provinz Westfalen.

1927 wurde die Viehpflege- und Melkerschule gegründet. Die Bewirtschaftung des Gutes erfolgt gemeinsam mit den Provinzialgütern und Krankenanstalten Eickelborn und Benninghausen. 1937 wurde Haus Düsse dann als Versuchsgut übernommen.

1927: Gründung der Viehpflege und Melkerschule
Im Zuge der Neugründungen von Melkerschulen in Preußen während der 1920er Jahre beschloss die Landwirtschaftskammer für die Provinz Westfalen, eine Viehpflege- und Melkerschule einzurichten. In der landwirtschaftlichen Praxis bestand zu dieser Zeit ein spürbarer Mangel an gut ausgebildetem Melkpersonal. Daneben sollte auch der bäuerliche Nachwuchs in Milchgewinnung und -behandlung, Fütterung, Viehpflege und -haltung gründlich ausgebildet werden. Ziele waren die Verbesserung der Milchqualität und der Wirtschaftlichkeit der Milchviehhaltung.

Am 3. Oktober 1927 beschloss der Vorstand der Landwirtschaftskammer, auf dem damaligen Provinzialgut Haus Düsse in Ostinghausen eine Viehpflege- und Melkerschule einzurichten. Der erste Lehrgang mit sechs Melkern wurde vom 2. Januar bis zum 29. Februar 1928 durchgeführt.

Nach längeren Verhandlungen kaufte die Landesbauernschaft zum 1. März 1937 das Provinzialgut Haus Düsse für 385.000 Reichsmark. Der Besitz umfasste zu dieser Zeit etwa 93 ha Land nebst Schloss, Pferdestall, Schweinestall, Kuhstall, Sauenstall und zwei Scheunen.

1950: Übernahme durch die wieder eingerichtete Landwirtschaftskammer Westfalen-Lippe
Bedingt durch den Zweiten Weltkrieg kamen ab 1940 die Versuchs- und Lehrtätigkeiten mehr und mehr zum Erliegen. Nach Kriegsende diente Haus Düsse einige Monate als Lager für befreite Fremdarbeiter. Die Britische Rheinarmee richtete von Februar 1946 bis August 1950 auf Haus Düsse eine landwirtschaftliche Heeresfachschule ein. Nach der Übernahme am 18. August 1950 intensivierte die Landwirtschaftskammer Westfalen-Lippe dem großen landwirtschaftlichen Bedarf entsprechend das Versuchswesen und die Aus- und Fortbildungstätigkeit.

1951–1955: Ausbau der Schuleinrichtung und der Rindviehhaltung
Im August 1951 erfolgte die Eigentumsübertragung aller Düsser Grundstücke und Einrichtungen auf die Landwirtschaftskammer Westfalen-Lippe. Die Jahre des Wiederaufbaus brachten einen hohen Nahrungsmittelbedarf und gewandelte Produktionstechniken mit sich. Dies erforderte eine intensive Ausbildung und Beratung aller in der Landwirtschaft Tätigen. Zu diesem Zweck wurden neben den bereits wieder aufgenommenen Lehrgängen Beraterseminare, Fortbildungsseminare für Betriebsleiter und nach deren Einführung Speziallehrgänge für Melkmaschinen etabliert.

Umfangreiche Baumaßnahmen schufen die räumlichen Voraussetzungen für die neuen Aufgaben. Der Kuhstall im Innenhof wurde nördlich der Ahse durch ausbildungsgerechte Rindviehstallungen ersetzt: zwei Anbindeställe, Offenlaufstall, Kälberställe, Melkstand, Milchkammer, deckenlastige Heu-, Stroh- und Futterlagerung sowie Hoch- und Fahrsilos. Anstelle des alten Kuhstalls entstand das Seminargebäude mit mehreren Schulungs-, Tagungs- und Internatsräumen.

1960–1963: Ausbau des Internats und der Schweinemastprüfungsanstalt
Nach einer Konsolidierungsphase wurde Anfang der 1960er Jahre das Internat modernisiert und ausgebaut. Der 1938/39 erbaute Schweinemastprüfungsstall genügte weder in technischer Hinsicht noch von der Kapazität her den dynamischen Aktivitäten der Schweinezucht. Deshalb baute man zwischen 1960 und 1963 eine neue, vom Ausbildungsbetrieb abgesetzte, großzügige Mastprüfungsanstalt.

1968–1980: Haus Düsse wird überbetriebliche Ausbildungsstätte
Die Landwirtschaft wurde schließlich, ebenso wie die Industrie, von der Mechanisierungswelle erfasst. Umfangreiche Investitionen in Maschinen erforderten größere Produktionseinheiten und die Spezialisierung auf wenige Betriebszweige. Damit trotz der Beschränkungen auf effiziente Produktionseinrichtungen die Ausbildung des Nachwuchses weiterhin eine breite berufliche Dimension erhielt, wurde im Rahmen des Berufsbildungsgesetzes (BBiG) 1968 die überbetriebliche Ausbildung eingeführt. Die vorhandenen Lehrwerkstätten wurden modernisiert oder neu errichtet und durch Erweiterung der Übernachtungs- und Betreuungseinrichtungen den sprunghaft angestiegenen Teilnehmer- und Besucherzahlen angepasst. Als überbetriebliche Ausbildungsstätte in der Tierproduktion für das Kammergebiet Westfalen-Lippe erhielt Haus Düsse im Rahmen von Modellvorhaben und der Bundesförderung neue Lehrwerkstätten. Vorhandene Stallungen wurden modernisiert. 1970 entstanden je ein Schweinezucht-, Schweinemast- und Bullenmaststall. Zusätzlich folgten Lehrwerkstätten für Schweinezucht (1972), Schweinemast (1974) und Bullenmast (1980). Der Milchviehoffenstall (20 Kühe) wurde 1976 zum Liegeboxen-Laufstall (56 Kühe) umgebaut. Für den Lehrgangsbetrieb entstand 1971 als spezielles Übungs- und Demonstrationsgebäude das Schulpraktikum. Dieses wurde 1980 durch einen zweiten Abschnitt ergänzt. Die sprunghaft angestiegenen Teilnehmerzahlen überforderten die bisherigen Betreuungs- und Übernachtungseinrichtungen. Deshalb wurde 1976/77 ein Wirtschaftsgebäude mit Großküche, Speisesaal, Tages- und Freizeiträumen und ein Gästehaus errichtet. Im Rahmen des Versuchs- und Prüfungswesens wurde die Schweinemastprüfungsanstalt um je einen Trakt für die Futterwertleistungsprüfung (1968) und für spezielle Fütterungsversuche (1980) erweitert.

1982–1989: Weitere Ausbaustufe der Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt
Die bisher geschaffenen Versuchs- und Ausbildungsanlagen sowie die Betreuungs- und Übernachtungseinrichtungen unterstrichen die zentrale Nutzungsmöglichkeit von Haus Düsse für die Aus- und Fortbildung sowie zur anschaulichen Beratung. Um ein noch umfangreicheres Angebot bereitstellen zu können, wurde 1982 die Lehrschau für Bau und Technik erbaut. 1984 wurde sie dann durch ein Freigelände wesentlich erweitert. 1983 wurde die Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt für Kleintierzucht Unna-Königsborn (LVA) von Unna-Königsborn in das heutige "Landwirtschaftszentrum Haus Düsse" nach Bad Sassendorf verlagert. In diesem Rahmen kamen Rinder- und Schweinehaltung, ein Legehennenstall und ein Junggeflügelmaststall hinzu. Für eine zeitgerechte überbetriebliche Ausbildung wurden zum Teil vorhandene Einrichtungen durch die Lehrwerkstätten Kälberaufzucht (1985) und Futterlagerung und -aufbereitung (1985) ersetzt. Die 1984 errichtete Mehrzweckhalle vervollständigte das Angebot an Übungs- und Demonstrationsräumen. Im Sommer 1987 begann die Errichtung der Lehrwerkstätten "Sauenhaltung", die 1988 abgeschlossen werden konnte. Zusätzlich erhielt Haus Düsse in Zusammenarbeit mit den westfälisch-lippischen Landesverbänden der Imker und Rassegeflügelzucht einen Versuchs- und Lehrbienenstand (1983) und einen Rassegeflügelstall (1987). Die Errichtungen wurden durch einen Waldlehrpfad und einen Pflanzenlehrgarten miteinander verbunden.

1990–1998: Strukturelle Änderungen in Haus Düsse
Zum 1. Januar 1990 wurde die Anstalt für Leistungsprüfungen in der Tierzucht, Eickelborn, in die Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt integriert. Im direkten Anschluss begannen umfangreiche Neu- und Umbaumaßnahmen. Dadurch sollten der Gesundheits- und Hygienestatus verbessert und die Stallungen an eine geänderte Prüfungsmethodik angepasst werden. Bereits 1991 konnte ein neuer Quarantänestall als Außenhüttenstall für Kalber in Betrieb genommen werden. Ebenfalls 1991 wurde ein weiterer ehemaliger Anbindestall fertiggestellt, der als Offenfrontstall für die Gruppenhaltung umgerüstet wurde. In den folgenden Jahren wurden Stück für Stück weitere Stallungen umgerüstet. Mit einem Außenklima-Offenfrontstall für Mastschweine und dem von Grund auf sanierten Boxenlaufstall, der ebenfalls als Offenfrontstall errichtet wurde, wurden neue Wege beschritten.

Um die Grundversorgung von Haus Düsse mit elektrischer- bzw. Wärmeenergie sicherzustellen, wurde als Pilotprojekt 1995 ein Biokraftwerk in Betrieb genommen. Auf der Basis nachwachsender Rohstoffe stellt es beide Energieformen über ein Blockheizkraftwerk bzw. die direkte Verbrennung zur Verfügung. Angeregt durch das Ministerium für Umwelt, Raumordnung und Landwirtschaft wurde ab 1995 das "Zentrum für nachwachsende Rohstoffe" in Haus Düsse konzipiert und etabliert. Es ist seither für ganz NRW tätig. Im Rahmen des Zentrums hat ebenfalls der Hanfverein seinen Sitz. Zur Beratung, Demonstration und Information wurde 1997 ein Ausstellungspavillon mit Lehrgarten eröffnet. Gleichzeitig werden nachwachsende Rohstoffe im Feldversuchswesen bearbeitet, um Beratungsunterlagen zu dieser Thematik zu gewinnen.

Nach der Schließung der Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt für Kleintierzucht Krefeld-Großhüttenhof der Landwirtschaftskammer Rheinland wurde das Prüfungs- und Versuchswesen im Geflügelbereich für Nordrhein-Westfalen in Haus Düsse konzipiert, sodass im Jahr 1998 in einem umgebauten Stall, der alternativ für Hähnchen- und Putenmast genutzt werden kann, der erste Fütterungsversuch mit Puten abgeschlossen werden konnte.

Ausbaustufen seit 1983
Weitere Ausbaustufen des Landwirtschaftszentrums unterstreichen die zentrale Nutzungsmöglichkeit von Haus Düsse für die Aus- und Fortbildung sowie zur anschaulichen Beratung. In den letzten Jahren sind folgende Maßnahmen durchgeführt worden, um den gestiegenen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden:

 1983 Verlegung der Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt für Geflügelhaltung von Unna nach Haus Düsse und Einrichtung eines Legehennen und Junggeflügelstalles.

Aufgabenstellung von Haus Düsse

Entwicklung
Im Lehrbetrieb lag der Schwerpunkt zu Beginn bei der Berufsmelkerausbildung. Dazu gesellte sich später die Ausbildung der Bauernsöhne und -töchter im Melken sowie in Vieh- und Klauenpflege. Von 1937 bis 1969 nahmen die Milchkontrollassistentenkurse das Hauptaugenmerk ein. Standen zunächst das Handmelken nebst Qualitätskontrolle und die Viehpflege im Vordergrund, erfasse Westdeutschland in den 1950er Jahren eine regelrechte Melkmaschineninvasion. So wurde in Haus Düsse eine von drei Bundesfachschulen für Maschinenmelken eingerichtet. In Speziallehrgängen wurde bis 1967 die Technik des Maschinenmelkens vermittelt. Infolge der Umstrukturierung der Landwirtschaft und besonders der Milcherzeugerbetriebe ließ der Bedarf an hauptberuflichen Melkern nach. Die überbetriebliche Ausbildung des landwirtschaftlichen Nachwuchses in der Tierhaltung rückte in den Mittelpunkt der Lehrgangstätigkeit. Zum Ausbildungsschwerpunkt Rindviehhaltung kam die Schweinehaltung, die in Westfalen-Lippe eine große Bedeutung erreichte. Mit dem Ausbau der Betriebsanlagen wuchs die Anzahl und Vielfalt der Lehrgänge und Weiterbildungsveranstaltungen wie Seminare, Tagungen oder Besichtigungen. Der Teilnehmerbogen spannte sich von den Auszubildenden über Meisteranwärter und Betriebsleiter zu den Lehrern und Beratern.

Insgesamt wurden bis heute mehr als 60 verschiedene Lehrgangsarten durchgeführt (insgesamt 125.000 Teilnehmer). Den Schwerpunkt bildeten mit mehr als 40.000 Teilnehmern die Kurse zur Viehpflege und zur überbetrieblichen Ausbildung. Zu den Fortbildungstagungen und Seminaren kamen fast 200.000 Interessenten. Einschließlich der 360.000 Besucher, in der Mehrzahl Landwirte, aber auch viele Schulklassen und Verbraucher, nutzten weit über eine halbe Million Menschen die Düsser Aus- und Fortbildungsstätte, darunter 30.000 aus Europa und Übersee.

Im Versuchs- und Prüfungswesen änderte sich die Aufgabenstellung ähnlich wie im Ausbildungsbereich entsprechend dem Wandel in der Landwirtschaft. Im Mittelpunkt standen mit Übernahme des Versuchsgutes Ertragssteigerungen sowohl im Ackerbau als auch in der Viehhaltung. Bei knapper Versorgungslage wurden züchterische und produktionstechnische Ressourcen erschlossen. Mit der Mechanisierungswelle nach Kriegsende entstanden neue Anbau- und Erntemethoden im Ackerbau und Stallhaltungs- und Fütterungsverfahren in der Viehhaltung. Hierzu zählen die Einführung des Schleppers, des Mähdreschers, der Gülletechnik-, der Melkmaschine und der EDV-gesteuerten Fütterungstechnik. Zu den Gesichtspunkten der quantitativen Erzeugung kamen die Gesichtspunkte der Produktionsqualität und in jüngster Zeit die umweltschonende Nahrungsmittelproduktion.

Hauptaufgabe heute
Aufgabe von Haus Düsse ist es, für die nordrhein-westfälische Landwirtschaft praxisnahe, kostengünstige und tiergerechte Produktionsverfahren zu erarbeiten sowie Fertigkeiten und Kenntnisse in der Aus- und Fortbildung zu vermitteln.

In den Veröffentlichungen der Wertprüfungsergebnisse des Bundessortenamtes liegt Haus Düsse mit den Getreideerträgen häufig an der Spitze. Deshalb bildet Haus Düsse für das gesamte Ruhr-Hellweg-Gebiet einen Versuchsschwerpunkt, wo hauptsächlich den Fragen des intensiven Getreidebaues nachgegangen wird.

Ein weiterer Versuchsschwerpunkt liegt in der Entwicklung von Anbautechniken bei neuen Kulturen. Hier sind Ackerbohnen, Erbsen, Sonnenblumen, Lein und neuerdings auch die Grünbrache und Chinagras zu nennen. Ebenfalls werden hier vorrangig Versuche durchgeführt, die einen sehr hohen technischen Aufwand erfordern, wie Bodenbearbeitungs-, Fruchtfolge- und Gülleversuche. In einem großen Pflanzenbau-Lehrgarten wird auch nicht-landwirtschaftlichen Besuchern die Vielfalt der auf Acker- und Grünland angebauten Fruchtarten und Varietäten demonstriert sowie der Aufbau von Hybridsorten gezeigt. Ebenfalls sind hier eine Vielzahl von Arten, die für nachwachsende Rohstoffe in Frage kommen zu sehen.

Damit wird die seit Jahren bedeutende Stellung von Haus Düsse auf dem Gebiet der Nutztierhaltung auch auf dem Gebiet der Pflanzenproduktion zum Nutzen der westfälisch-lippischen Landwirtschaft wirkungsvoll unterstrichen.

Coronavirus Ireland: Dublin parish tells massgoers not to shake hands or use holy water to bless themselves
Instead of the traditional 'Peace be with you' handshake, parishioners can 'smile or nod their head if they wish'
Updated 21:15, 1 MAR 2020
Foxrock Parish is taking every precaution with COVID-19 (Image: Google Earth)
The global coronavirus pandemic has prompted the Catholic Church to tell its flock not to come near a church if they are feeling unwell.
And a south Dublin parish has advised mass-goers not to offer a handshake of peace or bless themselves with holy water as it rolled out a litany of preventative measures that will remain in place while COVID-19 remains a public health risk.
Foxrock Parish today issued an advisory note instructing parishioners against shaking hands or using holy water when blessing themselves, adding that its church's fonts would be emptied as a precaution.
Coronavirus: North Dublin secondary school closes for two weeks after HSE confirms COVID-19 case
Coronavirus Ireland: Man 'being treated in a Dublin hospital' with first confirmed case of deadly bug COVID-19
Instead of the traditional 'Peace be with you' handshake, parishioners are advised that they can "smile or nod their head if they wish".
The note, posted on its Facebook page, adds: "Only the priest will receive Holy Communion from the Chalice.
"There will be no second Chalice for those with gluten intolerance; there will instead be low-gluten hosts available for anyone who needs them."
The post continues: "Ministers of Holy Communion will use hand sanitisers before and after ministering Holy Communion; Holy Communion will be ministered in the hand only and will not be ministered on the tongue."
'Hospitals not fit to handle virus'
Dublin granny tells of holiday horror
Tips to protect yourself from COVID-19
The HSE has issued general advice about preventing the spread of coronavirus, which reached Irish shores on Thursday when a woman who had arrived at Dublin Airport from northern Italy became the first confirmed case.
A second case - a male who lives in the east of the country and who is understood to be being treated in isolation at a Dublin hospital - was confirmed last night.
The virus has killed at least 2,943 people worldwide including 29 in Italy, where both Irish patients are believed to have contracted the potentially deadly bug.
The outbreak - and its arrival in Ireland - forced the Dublin Archdiocese to urge priests or parishioners who feel sick to steer clear of Mass for at least two weeks.
Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that cause respiratory infections. There are seven known strains that can infect humans, including the new virus detected in China.
They range in how serious they are, with some causing a common cold, and others causing pneumonia.
To date, the most famous coronavirus is the SARS virus, which has a mortality rate of between 9% and 50%, depending on the age of the patient.
Under a microscope, coronaviruses have a crown shape, which is where they get their name - 'corona' means crown in Latin.
What are the symptoms of the China coronavirus?
Health officials in China have reported that early symptoms of the new coronavirus include a high fever, shortness of breath, coughing and tightness of the chest.
It causes viral pneumonia, and in severe cases it has led to kidney failure and death.
People with weakened immune systems, babies and the elderly are particularly susceptible to coronaviruses.
Is it contagious?
While authorities initially believed that every single case of the new coronavirus was linked to the seafood market in Wuhan, China's National Health Commission has now confirmed that the disease can spread from person to person.
At least two people have caught the new coronavirus from family members, and it's believed that health workers have also been infected.
Coronaviruses are typically spread through the air, with infected people coughing or sneezing, or by close personal contact, such as shaking hands.
It's also possible to be infected by touching an object or surface with the virus on it, and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes before washing your hands.
Is it fatal?
Numerous people have died of the coronavirus, although most are thought to have had pre-existing medical conditions.
Is there a treatment for coronavirus?
As the coronavirus is a virus, there is no treatment.
Patients can be given pain medication to relieve the symptoms, but the virus will not respond to antibiotics.
It said that pastoral care can be provided over the phone or through Skype "if resources permit".
A statement from the Archdiocese says: ""We have circulated [guidelines] to all parishes in the Archdiocese. [Persons who are ill] may be asked to limit their social interactions for 14 days, including staying at home and not attending religious services.
"In order to reduce the possible spread of infection, these people should not be visited by religious leaders/members of the clergy while they are in self isolation. Pastoral care can be provided over the telephone/Skype if resources permit," the statement goes on to say.

"Most physical interaction during religious services, e.g. shaking hands while exchanging the sign of peace in Christian religious services involves a low-risk of spreading the virus, especially if members of the congregation who are unwell do not attend religious services while they are ill.
"However, because Covid-19 is a new disease that has not been seen in people before, we need to exercise extreme caution to limit the spread of the virus."

Novak Djokovic produced a dominant display to bear Roger Federer in the final of the Italian Open in Rome.
The world number one sealed his 22nd consecutive win with a 6-4 6-3 win over the Swiss ahead of the French Open, which gets underway on 25 May.
The two heavyweights of men's tennis exchanged blows in the opening set before Djokovic broke in the 10th game.
The 27-year-old broke his opponent again in the second set and confidently saw out victory to win his fourth title in the Italian capital.
Already this year he has won the Australian Open, Indian Wells, the Miami Open and the Monte Carlo Masters.
Given his sublime start to the year, Djokovic believes he is now operating on the same level he was in 2011, where he claimed the Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open titles in addition runner up spot in the French Open.
"The fact that I have managed to win so many matches in a row gives me a reason to believe I can do it again – something present in my conscience," he told the official website of the Italian Open.
"I want to keep going as long as I can, I don't want to think over fear or everything else can be an obstacle and interrupt this streak. I always try to do my best no matter what is the tournament, this kind of mindset has helped me to be where I am.
"Can I can repeat what I've done in 2011? I don't know, there are things out of your control, that you can influence is the present and how you can get in the position to do well in the future. Hopefully this mindset is going to take me far in the Roland Garros that has been a priority for me so far."

Muhammad Domun took the 'Philosophical Britain' module at Queen Mary in 2016. In this post he writes about 'radical' – one of the most politically charged of philosophical keywords.
"I was determined that my Radicalism should not be called in question."
-Charles Dickens ( The letters of Charles Dickens)
From the new elected FIFA president to make radical realignment to football to David Cameron's nonsensical arguments on the "traditional submissiveness of Muslim women" being key to the radicalisation of Muslim men. The words radical, radicalism and radicalisation remains some of the most overused, and in all likelihood misused, words in politics and media today. Stemming from the late Latin word Radix, the word radical originated in the 14th century, meaning "of or having roots. However, the general use of the word where it usually means going to the origin of a concept is from 1650s. The political sense of the word which refers to changing from the roots was
first recorded in 1802, whilst radical reform was a current phrase since 1786. It was not until 1921 that the word radical gained the connotations of unconventional. Nowadays radical generally means relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something; far-reaching or thorough. Radicalism stems from 1817 coined by no other than Bentham himself in his "Plan of parliamentary reform, in the form of a catechism". Bentham and his legacy which led to this concept of philosophical radicalism is something we will discuss in greater details later on. Radicalisation has its political origins stemming in 1820. It also has a much damning interpretation with the Home Office defining radicalisation as "The process by which people come to support terrorism and violent extremism and, in some cases, then join terrorist groups." In essence, the word radical itself intimates change, the concepts of radicals, radicalism and radicalisation remain politically indeterminate,since it is defined solely by the fundamental character of the desire for change, rather than by any particular political principles, or description of the desired end-state of the reform. It challenges the status quo and asks for more.
Philosophical radicalism.
The term philosophical radicalism is in reference to a group of utilitarians, who had a very idealistic social formula: reduce pain and increase pleasure. Amidst the accusation of hedonism, the Philosophical radicalism maintained that all laws and institutions should exist based on their usefulness or utility to the general happiness of the mass. This felicific calculus, stemmed from the cornerstone of Jeremy Bentham's manifesto of utilitarianism, the Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation Bentham famously remarked that:
"Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure, it is to them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as determine what we shall do."
Whilst this may seem generally in order of things and certainly not radical the second premise of Bentham and the Philosophical radicals may have been slightly troublesome. To their logic as all the contemporary existing systems in the words were falling or had failed to accommodate the greatest happiness for the greatest number, the Philosophical radicals concluded that all existing systems should be abolished and substituted for systems more beneficial to the perpetual happiness of the people. Yet,
ollowing true to the steps of Bentham they sustained that this could only be done through gradual reforms and not violent revolution. The Philosophical Radicals did not only source from Bentham, they also took from Malthus, Ricardo, and Hartley. Among their midst are famous names such as John and James stuart Mill, George Grote and John Roebuck. They spread their ideas through a series of publications; namely Morning Chronicle, Westminster Review, and London Review. Their main focus was electoral reforms. Whilst their effort to establish a radical party in the parliament did not succeed, their utilitarian ideas did permeate politics and had leading roles between 1820-1850; some even arguing that it was an age of reform.
Philosophical anarchist William Godwin, yes the same person who wrote Jack and the Beanstalk, was similarly attracted to the radical concepts of Bentham. Whilst he conformed to the notion of the world being composed of rational men who seek pleasure and avoid pain, Godwin concluded that the greatest happiness can only be a reality if there were no law, no state, no marriage, no state-sponsored morality and no church. In essence Godwin was against anything that held man from being truly human. In response to conflict Godwin argued that all could be solved through "disinterested benevolence". This disinterested benevolence was, of course, intellectual discourses, honesty and sincerity, which could all be achieved had man discuss things rationally. Alas, according to Godwin, under the modern system men take what they do not have, kill what they do not like and exploit others for their own materialistic gains.
Godwin remarked:
With what delight must every individual friend of mankind look forward to the auspicious period, the dissolution of political government, of that brute engine which has been the perennial cause of the vices or mankind, and which . . . has mischiefs of various sorts incorporated with its substance, and not otherwise removable than by its utter annihilation.
The question remains to what was individuals like Bentha
m, Gowin and those in the philosophical radicalism movement calling for, this remains a question to be answered the short and perhaps hugely sweeping answer would be that it was a group of men trying to solve mankind's qualms through rationality, but embedded in the longer and perhaps more accurate answer was individuals trying to reform and change society.
Radicalism in Politics.
Whilst Radicalism may have had its origins in politics, its connotations has morphed into something quite unrecognisable since the 1980s. Whilst prior to the 80s, in Britain at least, radicalism was mostly associated to the left, the radical Right briefly forgotten in Britain, reared it all too familiar head again in 1980s. Such has been the legacy of this radicalism of the right in Britain, in fact, that it was thought somewhat convenient and even correct to invent the oxymoronic idea of a radical centre in order to combat it, appropriating the rhetoric of radicalism for its opposite: a white-collar government of gradual sectorial changes aimed at maintaining the status quo – in essence, conservatism, in the most Burkean sense possible. This anti-thesis of radicalism still holds strong as so many liberal parties in Europe still name themselves "radical" but are very much centrist.
In Britain, contrary to popular beliefs, its not so much of a bad thing to be regarded as a radical albeit which side of the fence you stand on does matter. For one, the late Geoffrey Howe was celebrated as a quietly spoken radical by George Osborne, whilst David Cameron was urged to be "fearlessly radical" when it comes to a few of his reforms. Yet amongst Labour is very scared of portraying themselves as such, why? Maybe because the Tories have four more years in power whilst Labour are still reeling from the lost of supporters from the 2015 general elections.
Infographic published by French government in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks warning people of the signs of Radicalisation
For some reason calling Cameron or Osborne radical resonate strong leadership, whilst calling Corbyn radical insinuate crazy leftie. Similarly, on the very wrong side of radicalism you have the likes of ISIS and Iran, who last time I checked do not really like each other. Yet they are still portrayed as radical as it seems a perfect umbrella to place their vicious authoritarianism approach. Indeed, the decision to name process of a British Muslim becoming sympathetic to ISIS as radicalisation seems horribly problematic as you are figuratively endorsing ISIS's dubious assertion that they represent Islam. However, it seems that this may just have slipped the mind of the government's think tanks as the Government strategy paper "Prevent" mentions radicalisation no less than one hundred and eighty times. Yet, it completely fails to mention that ISIS do not represent the true roots of Islam and the piousness of ISIS fighters itself is very dubious. To the government the route that Muslims should take is the one of becoming a "moderate Muslim". Well, "moderate", as Raymon Williams argued in his brilliant Keywords, "is often a euphemistic term for everyone, however insistent and committed, who is not a radical." Thus all Muslims should hold their beliefs half-heartedly and less than half committed or risk of being accused of being radicalised. Yet it seems that its for the good of all of us if the Conservative party revels in radical extremism
Hence, in conclusion the word radical and its compartments all call for change. Whether its change towards the status quo or against it. Its no surprise that a word of such volatile nature is misused and misunderstood. Nonetheless, it is still a crying shame to see how politicians are using such ambiguous words in such a circular and highly racialised manner.

I�m afraid I wouldn�t suggest highlighting yourself, nip along to a local salon and ask if they have a model night and have it done by a trainee. It�s very difficult to get an even result and maintain the hairs integrity and I have concerns you will be disappointed with the result. If you have it done in a professional salon they will be able to advise you on maintenance and aftercare so you can maintain your new look.
Hi My daughter is 14 years old and she has a skin disorder called vitiligo because of it her skin has gone from brown to pale white and her black hair is going white she started getting white hair from age of 9 and has been dying her hair dark brown since 11 years old her hair isn�t damaged but I�m scared because of dying her hair too much it fall out before she�s 19.she feel like she has to dye her hair and hide the white as she would get bullied and made fun of so Please can you give me advice on what to do.
The safest option is to regularly use a semi permanent colour which does not contain peroxide and will help to blend the white hair.

Q: Why end a javascript file with 0 && 0 Digging into the @babel/core package, almost every transpiled .js file ends with the following line:
0 && 0

What is the purpose of this?
For example, see transform-ast.js, the transpilation of transform-ast.ts.

A: I see the 0 && 0 thing was added from version 7.18.6. From babel config comment:

Inject 0 && exports.foo = 0 hints for the specified exports,
to help the Node.js CJS-ESM interop. This is only
needed when compiling ESM re-exports to CJS in lazy mode.

So, this states that it was added to help understand the Node.js CommonJS modules that is compilable when ECMAScript modules are re-exported to CommonJS module in lazy mode.

Emery has banned fruit juice from the canteen.
Arsenal manager Unai Emery has banned fruit juice at the club canteen as he makes changes to his players' diets in a bid to improve their fitness.
Last season the club finished 37 points below champions Manchester City, in sixth, earning a Europa League place. After losing two of their opening three Premier League games, the changes have been made as they try to build on the win over West Ham.
It is not the only change made to the players' routines, with more competitive training sessions introduced, as well as gym equipment near training pitches in order to mix cardiovascular and strength training.
One-to-one sessions with Emery and assistant coaches Carlos Carcedo and Steve Bould have been introduced, including Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil. Ozil has been told by Emery that more is expected of him, and he may not be recalled after missing the game against West Ham through illness.
The new approach to fitness should facilitate the tactics used by Emery, who wants his team to press opponents high up the pitch.
As Emery monitors the players' diets, he is also keeping tabs on their weight, body fat percentage, and measuring their fitness on various metrics. Sugar-rich fruit juices have been replaced by water.
Emery's predecessor, Arsene Wenger, is famous for overhauling Arsenal's traditionally English diet when he arrived in 1996. He eliminated the club's drinking culture and turned the players on to baked chicken, fish and steamed vegetables.
