Cultivated potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.), domesticated from wild Solanum species native to the Andes of southern Peru, possess a diverse gene pool representing more than 100 tuber-bearing relatives (Solanum section Petota). A diversity panel of wild species, landraces, and cultivars was sequenced to assess genetic variation within tuber-bearing Solanum and the impact of domestication on genome diversity and identify key loci selected for cultivation in North and South America. Sequence diversity of diploid and tetraploid Stuberosum exceeded any crop resequencing study to date, in part due to expanded wild introgressions following polyploidy that captured alleles outside of their geographic origin. We identified 2,622 genes as under selection, with only 14-16% shared by North American and Andean cultivars, showing that a limited gene set drove early improvement of cultivated potato, while adaptation of upland (Stuberosum group Andigena) and lowland (S. tuberosum groups Chilotanum and Tuberosum) populations targeted distinct loci. Signatures of selection were uncovered in genes controlling carbohydrate metabolism, glycoalkaloid biosynthesis, the shikimate pathway, the cell cycle, and circadian rhythm. Reduced sexual fertility that accompanied the shift to asexual reproduction in cultivars was reflected by signatures of selection in genes regulating pollen development/gametogenesis. Exploration of haplotype diversity at potato's maturity locus (StCDF1) revealed introgression of truncated alleles from wild species, particularly Smicrodontum in long-day-adapted cultivars. This study uncovers a historic role of wild Solanum species in the diversification of long-day-adapted tetraploid potatoes, showing that extant natural populations represent an essential source of untapped adaptive potential.
(A) Phenotypic diversity within wild species, cultivated landraces, and cultivars through domestication, improvement, and modern breeding efforts. Exemplar species, landraces, and elite North American cultivars are shown that highlight tuber size, shape, and pigmentation diversity. (B) Phylogeny and population structure of the samples in the domestication panel. The phylogenetic tree is based Nei's genetic distances calculated from 687,172 fourfold-degenerate sites from conserved potato genes. Population structure is based on 50,000 genome-wide SNPs. The optimal number of subpopulations (K = 5) included wild outgroups (purple), wild Solanum relatives (green), a wild subgroup diverging from the cultivated lineage after most other species (gold), Andean landraces (teal), and S. tuberosum group Tuberosum (navy).

Genome diversity in tuber-bearing Solanum species. (A) Fraction of annotated potato genes affected by duplication (blue), heterozygous deletion (light red), or homozygous deletion (red) across landraces, cultivars, tuber-bearing wild-species relatives, and outgroups (OG). (B) Heatmap of gene conservation across tuber-bearing Solanum genotypes on chromosome 9. Genes are ordered along the chromosome y axis, and the x axis contains samples organized into panels (separated by thin black lines) containing (Left to Right) 20 landraces, 23 cultivars, 20 tuber-bearing wild species relatives, and four outgroups. (C) Comparison of nucleotide diversity (π) in domesticated germplasm (cultivars diploid landraces, and tetraploid landraces) and wild relatives for major crop species. Color-coding is shown in the key. Species diversity estimates were obtained from existing resequencing studies: cucumber (), tomato (), watermelon (), rice (), maize (), and soybean (). (D) Heterozygous nucleotide frequency within potato outgroups, wild species relatives, diploid landraces, tetraploid landraces, and cultivars.
Wild Solanum species introgressions in cultivated potato. (A) Fraction of assessed genome sequences (5-kb windows) with introgressions from individual wild species in diploid landraces, tetraploid landraces, and cultivars. (B) Map of wild species introgressions on potato chromosome 11 for diploid landraces, tetraploid landraces, and cultivars. Color codes for species introgressions are blue, ambiguous/multiple taxa; red, S. microdontum; green, S. candolleanum; orange, Solanum sparsipilum; purple, S. leptophyes; pink, S. raphanifolium; gold, S. brevicaule; brown, S. medians; navy, S. chacoense; dark red, S. berthaultii; and light green, Solanum infundibuliforme. All 12 chromosomes, including names of accessions, can be seen in .
Genome-wide selection signatures on potato chromosome 6. (A) Chromosome-wide FST estimates (left axis) from 20-kb sliding window analysis (5-kb step size) comparing Andean landraces (teal) and S. tuberosum group Tuberosum (navy) to wild Solanum; plotted with chromosomal recombination rate in centimorgan/Mb (orange; right axis) based on a diploid biparental population (). Red lines indicate top 1% and 5% cutoffs for FST window estimates. (B) Locations of genes under putative, confident, and core selective pressure in Andean landraces (teal), S. tuberosum group Tuberosum (navy), or both groups (domestication candidates; green).
Circadian rhythms and pollen development phenotypes in wild species, landraces, and cultivars of potato. (A) Example of delayed fluorescence (DF) traces of one potato wild species and landrace. Data are from one representative experiment; values are the average ± SEM of five (wild) or six (landrace) plants. (B) Circadian period length and latitude of origin of potato populations. The origin of modern cultivated lines was determined as the location in which the line was initially bred. Circadian rhythms were measured using delayed fluorescence. Values are the average ± SEM of 2–11 plants from at least two independent experiments. (C) Simplified model of the photoperiod control of tuberization in potato. Elements in white display signatures of selection. Black lines represent transcriptional regulation; blue lines represent posttranslational regulation.

Food Friday: Beat the heat at London's newest restaurants and residencies
22nd July 2016 by Spear's
John Underwood rounds up the best places to cool off with a chilled plate, or an icy glass, this weekend.
For all London's advantages, it can be a grim place to be trapped when the mercury's rising. Barcelona has its beaches, Bordeaux is replete with shady terraces and Geneva rejoices in its limpid lake… but regardless of the weather, an ill-favoured man on Westminster Bridge will still be popping chestnuts on a hot plate. We don't, it's fair to say, do summer well.
Fortunately, there are more things to do than head to your favourite restaurant and beg for a table in the walk-in fridge. Here are some of London's most appealing new and established food and drink opportunities - all custom-designed for summer.
Gaucho Asado & Fish Grill at Richmond
Summer is the time for barbecuing, but there's something discombobulating about your food being lifted off the heat and taken indoors. Enter the Gaucho Richmond, where breezy riverside tables are complemented by an alfresco kitchen and grill – all in the shade of a soaring plane tree. Apply yourself to a classic Argentine steak or some freshly prepared fish, or simply enjoy some salty Padrón peppers with a long drink and watch the hustle and bustle of life on the Thames.
Gaucho Richmond
The Little Garden
The Distillery bar at the five star Hilton Bankside is playing host to this grass-floored pop-up, organised in collaboration with South London's very own Little Bird gin. Bespoke cocktails developed for the residency, which lasts until early September, include a variation on Prohibition classic The Last Word and something boldly billed as 'the perfect G&T'. To complete the Mother's Ruin experience, a new tasting menu featuring Negroni prawns and gin and tiger milk-infused tuna will be available all summer.
The Distillery Bankside
The Woodford
You may not be in the mood for a full English or stack of pancakes when it's pushing thirty degrees, but there's no need to abandon brunch altogether. At The Woodford in E18, Pierre Koffmann's protégé, Ben Murphy, has launched a new Saturday brunch menu where delicacy is the watchword (unless, that is, you choose to start your weekend with a bang and accompany it with bottomless champagne for £75). Expect dishes like raspberry granola with almond, ricotta and mint - or if you still want something that's recognisably a cooked breakfast, eggs with ham, créme fraîche and chives. Plus, the cheese comes with 'compressed celery', which sounds very refreshing.
Social Eating House
It's all too easy to befall the misfortune of dining with a companion who doesn't approve of cocktails at lunchtime, but Jason Atherton has come up with an ingenious solution at Soho's Michelin-starred Social Eating House: alcoholic ice cream sundaes. A variety of classic cocktails have been transformed into boozy frozen treats, with the Pimm's (orange sorbet, No. 1 Cup Granita and all the usual foliage) and the Strawberry Daiquiri top of the list. If you've managed to go to lunch with someone who doesn't approve of cocktails OR pudding, you're on your own.
Ahi Poké
Sashimi, ceviche and gravlax have all had their day in the sun, but this year it's the turn of Hawaii's take on raw fish. Based on Percy Street in Fitzrovia, Ahi Poké is a casual restaurant focusing on fresh, Asian-influenced bowls of fish, sauce and vegetables on top of grains or greens. Diners can plan a bespoke dish from 23 ingredients (ahi tuna, confit ginger and citrusy ponzu sauce, anyone?) or choose a 'signature bowl' like the Heat Wave, which includes quinoa, salmon and kimchi cucumber dressed with spicy mayonnaise. And if you still haven't cooled down after that, ask to move tables - with all that raw fish, they must have an extremely reliable fridge.

Feminine and fresh, Dolce embodies the delicate balance between timeless craftsmanship and innovation in the art of perfumed composition.
The fragrance opens with a brightly-coloured, sweet-smelling explosion of Neroli leaves and Papaya flower, dissipating into a floral bouquet as the core of the fragrance emerges. A unique and opulent combination of White Water Lily and bold White Daffodil blend perfectly with the full-bodied White Amaryllis, a South African flower used for the first time ever in scent. This floral signature is counterbalanced by the background of warm Musky notes, along with the complex accents of Cashmeran; leaving a sensual trail of light woods, earthy tones and piquant spices.


A pregnant woman has delivered her baby in a bus after she was assisted by a young midwife, who has since gained national recognition across the country.
According to reports, the midwife was a passenger on the bus when midway through their journey, a co-passenger who was pregnant went into labour.
The midwife sprang into action and with the help of two other nurses on board, delivered the baby safely at about 3:34 am after the driver stopped the moving bus somewhere along the Buipe road in Ghana.
After the delivery, the newly-born baby and her mother were reportedly handed over to the husband who is said to have taken them to the West Hospital in Tamale for further care.
According to a social media user, Mawunyo Bubutor, who shared the story on Facebook, the midwife is Sophia Safia Sulemana of the Kunkwa Health Centre in the Maprugu District of the Northern Region.
Sophia's extraordinary sense of duty has not gone unnoticed as many Ghanaians have been showering praises and blessing her. Especially in a society where most people will stay away from duty they might consider implicating should anything go wrong.

The Raptors Seem To Have Put A Knife In DeMar DeRozan's Back
Tom Ley
Filed to:demar derozan

Players are often understandably unhappy about being traded, because nobody much likes suddenly learning that they are going to spend the next few months or years living and playing in a city that they did not plan on living or playing in. Trades lead to hard feelings, but usually those are effectively papered over with quotes like, "I was sad to go but I understand this is a business, and I'm excited for a fresh start." I don't think that's going to happen with DeMar DeRozan.
According to everyone who has heard anything from DeRozan's camp since news broke that the Toronto Raptors are trading him to the San Antonio Spurs for Kawhi Leonard, DeRozan is pissed. Not "I didn't see this coming and I'm upset" pissed, but "Those fuckers lied to my face!" pissed. ESPN reported that DeRozan met with Raptors' brass during summer league and was given assurances that he wouldn't be traded. DeRozan appears to be counting this as a betrayal:
His Instagram stories page paints a pretty bleak picture:
You can often tell how hard a player is taking a trade based on how other players in the league react to it. These guys talk to each other, and they know when someone has been treated badly:
DeRozan seems to have really enjoyed playing in Toronto; it's where he developed from a talented but limited player into an all-star, and it's where he helped establish one of the most successful franchises in the conference with his friend Kyle Lowry. Nobody can really blame Toronto for making this trade, which essentially boils down to surrendering two years of DeRozan for one year of Leonard, but it's never fun to see a guy get ditched by a franchise he was truly dedicated to. Remember this the next time someone complains about how players need to learn a thing or two about loyalty.

The submission of EUA allowances
The submission of allowances plays a central role in the EU ETS
Each year, as a plant operator, you must submit allowances to the competent authority DEHSt by 30.04 in accordance with the rules of the European emissions trading system EU ETS. These allowances must be equal to the amount of CO2 emissions you emitted in the previous year and recorded in the emissions report in your registry account. Each allowance entitles you to emit one tonne of CO2.
For each missing, not submitted allowance by 30.04., you as an affected company in the mandatory EU emissions trading will be fined 100 euros. Of course, you are still obliged to submit the missing allowances on a date specified in the sanction notice. The fine of 100 euros per tonne of CO2 also applies if, after submission of your emissions report - which will be examined in detail by DEHSt within 5 years - errors are identified which determine a higher emission quantity than initially stated.
Failing to submit allowances on time or in full could cost you several hundred thousand euros. Therefore, the registry accounting for companies provided for in the EU ETS must be carried out with the utmost care.
What exactly is the problem?
The fact that the EUA allowances have to be submitted in the registry account by 30.04. of each year is nothing new for you as an operator in the EU ETS. Nevertheless, there are always new and unexpected hurdles that can arise for operators and their authorised representatives.
This can start with technical accesses that do not work, such as a malfunction at the mobile operator, poor reception, a mobile number that is no longer registered for access, an expiration or loss of access data, a denied access in the internal network, etc.
This can continue with dangerous uncertainty of the authorised representative as to how and how many allowances are to be submitted, a failure to convert CER into EUA or an insufficient account balance due to an additional return of allowances as a result of overallocation.
Finally, it can end with the unavailability of the authorised representative as a result of holiday, illness, but also resignation, or simply the absence or unavailability of the second authorised representative, who must also confirm a return.
All these obstacles have one thing in common: they are not force majeure, as the European Court of Justice has stated years ago. And this means that the DEHSt sanction has been established and will generally cause the operator to face massive financial difficulties.
Not only the timely purchase of allowances is a prerequisite for a successful submission, but especially the technical access to the registry system and, above all, well-trained and available authorised representatives who are familiar with the system's defective software.
We can help you!
If you, as the person responsible in your company, also believe that all processes before, during and after the submission of allowances to DEHSt can involve high and unnecessary risks and would prefer to place these processes in the hands of an external account manager with many years of experience, Emissionshändler.com® would be happy to take on this task for you.
Our offer to you!
The submission of EUA allowances in the EU ETS requires a high degree of knowledge and experience of the authorised representatives, because not only the operability of an IT system classified as poor could represent a problem, but the failure to submit allowances in general is the central risk in the EU ETS for every operator.
It should be worth looking for alternatives if you only consider the liability questions that arise for the corporate bodies and your employees - which were examined in a legal opinion of the well-known law firm BBH *.
If you then consider the problem of burdening your company employees with additional tasks and training, it is generally no longer economically viable to maintain your own registry account management.
It can make therefore a lot of sense to transfer the risk-intensive process of registry account management in the EU ETS to an external specialist, who has been dealing with this type of service in the EU ETS for its customers in many European countries for over 15 years.
Emissionshändler.com® is also happy to offer you its trading services in a CO2 account package, which is part of our CO2 carefree package for participants in the EU ETS.
* Emissionshändler.com® will be happy to present extracts from this legal opinion to you in a personal appointment in the form of a presentation.

"Regal Beloit has created industry benchmarks in setting performance goals, driving internal growth, increasing shareholder value, and exceeding customer expectations with a keen focus on providing globally competitive, and yet customized product solutions," says the consulting firm.
The company has been able to consistently deliver customer value with its unique ability to drive organic growth while acquiring and rapidly integrating 43 companies over 51 years. The management team employs the RBC Operating System at each of its acquisitions, enabling it to drive consistent metrics, share best practices and deploy Lean Six Sigma at all levels of the company.
"Using its strategic associations, the company has been able to identify, assess, evaluate and establish a clear customer-winning approach for each of it's individual businesses, which has facilitated the generation of greater market revenues and global expansion of its customer base," says Frost & Sullivan team leader for industrial automation and process controls, Shibu S.L.
Regal Beloit's meticulous and disciplined acquisition integration approach has helped it unite an efficient workforce, beneficial customer relationships, excellent distribution networks, and a global manufacturing and engineering footprint. These moves have improved Regal Beloit's global competitiveness, sophistication of technologies, and focus on the customer.
Very few companies can match Regal Beloit's abilities to deliver consistent quality at competitive prices across end-user verticals, globally, suggests Frost & Sullivan. This is indicated by the company's exceptional revenue compounded annual growth rate of more than 17% over the past 10 years, which far exceeded the industry average.
Regal Beloit has been striving to enhance its customer responsiveness through its five key initiatives: Customer Centricity, Globalization, Innovation, Digitization and Lean Six Sigma. The business savvy company has also created an ideal marketing mix of direct sales and channel distribution networks for more targeted and effective inbound as well as outbound customer campaigns.
"With more than 13,000 employees and 62 manufacturing, engineering and service/distribution facilities, Regal Beloit has a global manufacturing footprint with highly localized support for its customers," notes Shibu. "It has shown distinctive ability to offer quality and reliability through superior product development and innovation, thus improving lifecycle benefits in all its products."
Each year Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated excellence in the fields of technology and has shown commitment to continuously evolve and remain a leading participant in its industry. The recipient has displayed excellence in all areas of the process, including the identification of industry challenges, market drivers and restraints, as well as strategy development.

Q: GridView: order column, show/hide columns OK... so I'm trying to display data from a table in my DB using a GridView. I need to change the display order of the columns and I need to show/hide certain columns depending on the language the user is browsing the site in (French or English).
So far in my code I have this. The data is loading via a DataSource.
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

    LoadS25ATransactionsData()

End Sub

Private Sub LoadS25ATransactionsData()

    gvS25ATransactions.Visible = True
    gvS25ATransactions.DataSource = ViewS25A.GetS25ATransactions
    gvS25ATransactions.DataBind()

End Sub

I've tried a bunch of things to change the order of the columns and hide and show other but to no avail. Please help!
Thank you!

A: You can use GridView.Columns[0] to hide a column by index or hide by the name like the following example.
<asp:GridView runat="server" ID="GridView1"
   AutoGenerateColumns="False" OnPreRender="GridView_PreRender">
    <Columns>
        <asp:BoundField DataField="LastName" HeaderText="LastName" />
        <asp:BoundField DataField="FirstName" HeaderText="FirstName" />
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        var users = new List<User>
            {
                new User {FirstName = "John", LastName = "Doe"},
                new User {FirstName = "Marry", LastName = "Newton"},
                new User {FirstName = "Joe", LastName = "Black"}
            };

        GridView1.DataSource = users;
        GridView1.DataBind();
    }
}

protected void GridView_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (DataControlField column in GridView1.Columns)
        if (column.HeaderText == "FirstName")
            column.Visible = false;
}

What matters to you in a candidate?
The purpose of this article is to make handy for voters, a quick reference of biblical principles should that voter want to align their voting with the Bible. This article endorses no candidate or party. In our representative republic, as we go into an election year, we will look at a field of imperfect candidates and hopefully vote for the ones that most closely align with our values. If we are Bible-believing and Christian, this should require a thoughtful process of looking at how the Bible instructs our values, and match up that instruction with the field of candidates. Bible-believing Christians should vote their values if their values are important to the government they want.
Which candidate supports you and your church?
You tell the truth… Still we're only responsible for what we do. Those who choose to live for money miss out on a lot of joy… It is a very hollow idol.

Q: How to correctly implement a custom timer in .Net I have a requirement for a timer that has the following behaviour:

*

*Millisecond accuracy

*I want the tick event handler to only be called once the current tick handler has completed (much like the winforms timer)

*I want exceptions on the main UI thread not to be swallowed up by the thread timer so this requires Invoke/Send instead of BeginInvoke/Post

I've played around with CreateTimerQueueTimer and had some success but at the same time had problems with code reentrance and/or locks when deleting the timer.
I decided to create my own timer so that I could get a better idea of what is going on under the hood so that I can fix the locking and reentrance problems. My code seems to work fine leading me to believe that I may as well use it. Does it look sound?
I've put in a check if the timer is deleted to make sure that the deletion is complete before the timer can be created again. Does that look ok?
Note: I should say that I call timeBeginPeriod(1) and timeEndPeriod(1) inorder to achieve the millisecond accuracy.
(The following code is converted from vb.net to c#, so apologies for any missed mess-ups}
ETA: I've found a problem with it. If the timer is running at an interval of 1 millisecond, and I call, say, Change(300), it locks up @ while (this.DeleteRequest). This
must be because the TimerLoop is in the this.CallbackDelegate.Invoke(null) call.
public class MyTimer : IDisposable
{

    private System.Threading.TimerCallback CallbackDelegate;
    private bool DeleteRequest;
    private System.Threading.Thread MainThread;

    public MyTimer(System.Threading.TimerCallback callBack)
    {
        this.CallbackDelegate = callBack;
    }

    public void Create(int interval)
    {
        while (this.DeleteRequest) {
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(0);
        }

        if (this.MainThread != null) {
            throw new Exception("");
        }

        this.MainThread = new System.Threading.Thread(TimerLoop);
        // Make sure the thread is automatically killed when the app is closed.
        this.MainThread.IsBackground = true;
        this.MainThread.Start(interval);

    }

    public void Change(int interval)
    {
        // A lock required here?
        if (!this.IsRunning()) {
            throw new Exception("");
        }
        this.Delete();
        this.Create(interval);
    }

    public void Delete()
    {
        this.DeleteRequest = true;
    }

    public bool IsRunning()
    {
        return (this.MainThread != null) && this.MainThread.IsAlive;
    }

    private void TimerLoop(object args)
    {
        int interval = (int)args;
        Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
        sw.Start();

        do {
            if (this.DeleteRequest) {
                this.MainThread = null;
                this.DeleteRequest = false;
                return;
            }

            long t1 = sw.ElapsedMilliseconds;

            // I want to wait until the operation completes, so I use Invoke.
            this.CallbackDelegate.Invoke(null);

            if (this.DeleteRequest) {
                this.MainThread = null;
                this.DeleteRequest = false;
                return;
            }

            long t2 = sw.ElapsedMilliseconds;

            int temp = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Max(interval - (t2 - t1), 0));
            sw.Reset();
            if (temp > 0) {
                System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(temp);
            }

            sw.Start();
        } while (true);

    }

        // The dispose method calls this.Delete()

}

A: I would recommend using p/Invoke and using the timers from Win32's Timer Queues:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686796(v=vs.85).aspx
One should be mindful that the managed CLR environment has a lot of non-determinism built into it, garbage collection, for instance. Just because your timer is has a period of 1 millisecond doesn't mean that that is necessarily what happens.
Also, the documentation doesn't mention it, but the callback invoked by the timer must be pinned in memory and not garbage collectable, via a GCHandle or other construct. When a timer (or timers, if you kill off a timer queue), the callback will be executed one last time. Not sure whether that happens by the internal wait expiring, or by signalling the internal event handle.
Execution of DeleteTimerQueueTimer() and DeleteTimerQueueEx() can be made synchronous, so they won't return until all timers have signalled and invoked their last callback, but doing that would be suboptimal.
If you don't pin the callbacks and prevent them from being garbage-collected, things will go swimmingly...most of the time. You'll encounter random exceptions.
Also, the callback should be smart enough to bail out if the timer is being deleted, lest it make reference to something that's already GC'd.

A: μTimer would be a better example!
You can find it here @ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15725711/obtaining-microsecond-precision-using-net-without-platform-invoke?noredirect=1#comment22341931_15725711
It provides accurate wait times down to 1µs and possibly lower depending on your NIC!
Let me know if you need anything else!

Theatre Review | Annie – Mayflower Theatre, Southampton
All I know about Annie is gleaned from Chandler's love of it on Friends and other random pop-culture references. So it was about time I saw what the fuss was about for myself, over 40 years after the musical was first created!
I was invited along to review the show on it's UK tour when it arrived at the Mayflower Theatre, Southampton for just a few days.
If you don't already know, Annie tells the story of an eleven-year-old girl who dreams of meeting her parents while she is under the wicked and not-so-watchful eye of the dubious and drunken Miss Hannigan in her orphanage.
Her luck seems to change, but all is not what it seems. Despite facing many challenges and setbacks along the way, her sunny disposition keeps her thinking positive and making friends as she goes.
I was a little apprehensive about this one. When you mix choruses of singing children with a potentially saccharine storyline and a plot that begs for a happily ever after, there is the possibility that the outcome will be cheesy and almost a little unbearable. I was concerned it might be a bit too corny for me.
I was delightfully wrong.
The orphan girls were astoundingly talented and an absolute joy to watch. They were feisty and cheeky and endearingly rough around the edges (if only in costume – their dance moves and vocal skills were utterly on point.) Each one was full of pep and fizz they almost stole the show. Almost.
Of course, Annie (played by Freya Yates) was a star by name and nature. How such a powerful voice can come from such a small person, I do not know. She blew me away.
Craig Revel Horwood as Miss Hannigan was undeniably a draw for many. I saw him perform at the Mayflower in Dick Whittington at the end of last year and he was fabulous, so I had high hopes for his return. This time, I felt he was a little less than polished – I wasn't completely sold on his accent – but he did entertain us all and clearly enjoyed his role immensely (so much so that he nearly lost his wig at one point!)
I also loved Alex Bourne's Daddy Warbucks, with his warmth, his clear love for Annie, and his fantastic singing voice. The whole cast was brilliant; completely in sync with their dancing and their vocals, and it really felt like a classic musical, complete with tap dancing and glorious harmonies.
And who could forget Sandy? I won't spoil it for you, but let's just say your favourite cast member may have more legs than you'd expect.
The set was top-notch and visually stunning and the whole production ran incredibly smoothly without a hitch; something you'd expect, but no easy feat with so much going on. The timing was impeccable and there were so many little details that enchanted throughout the performance; it was surprisingly funny, too.
The risk of this show becoming a pantomime was high; after all, Miss Hannigan could easily be a dame, and with the storyline set around Christmas, it might have felt festive. Thankfully, it avoided all that and we were left with a year-round family favourite.
Is Annie worth seeing? You bet your bottom dollar it is. This is a charming, heartwarming production that tugs at the heartstrings with just the right amount of sentimentality.
It's delightful to watch. Annie whisks you back to a time of uncertainty and hardship during America's Great Depression, but shares a story of hope, resilience, and optimism. You're bound to be grinning by the end: after all…you're never fully dressed without a smile.
Annie is at Mayflower Theatre until Saturday 4 May.
Tickets gifted by Mayflower Theatre, but my opinions are all completely honest, unbiased and my own.

But additionally fascinating within the parliamentary saga is the uncommon, eyebrow-raising show of a united opposition, particularly the curious solidarity formed between two ideological foes, the EFF and the white-led Democratic Alliance (DA). In the parliamentary fights they've closed ranks and adopted widespread positions, with MPs from both camp supporting each other, at occasions to the hilt. Some DA parliamentarians even bodily intervened to defend the EFF when riot police have been referred to as in. It was some of the get together's MPs that had to receive hospital remedy. Indeed, as they are saying, politics makes strange bedfellows.
Something to think about…..In the 1940's a 5,000 square foot mini mansion in Beverly Hills CA might be purchased for roughly $forty,000 to $50,000 relying on facilities…..Today that very same property is valued at roughly 10 Million & Up……Always maintain things in perspective. One currency? Not any time soon. The damaging domino effect that President Bush started has created so much mistrust among even the American folks that there isn't a approach the common client will trust a world order forex in this technology or for several more generations. Awesome hub. You have compared the economies nicely. Investors can choose and deciede. Very helpful economic article.
No, there is no such thing as a severe motive which could be opposed to the selection of one other capital, or to the transferring of the federal government as a complete in direction of one of the beneath-populated areas. The capital of underneath-developed countries is a commercial notion inherited from the colonial period. But we who are citizens of the under-developed nations, we ought to hunt each occasion for contacts with the rural masses. We must create a nationwide policy, in other phrases a coverage for the plenty. We ought never to lose contact with the folks which has battled for its independence and for the concrete betterment of its existence.
On October 15, 1987 Sankara was killed by an armed militia of twelve officers in a coup d'état organized by Compaore. Sankara's body was dismembered and buried in an unmarked grave. Compaore immediately took power, overturning most of Sankara's insurance policies. Compaore reportedly ousted Sankara because he believed that his revolutionary insurance policies have been jeopardizing Burkina Faso's relationship with France and Ivory Coast. Sankara and Compaore weren't solely colleagues, they were childhood friends. Once people are rich, they sure don't wish to go backwards all the way down to poverty and hardship. Good luck on that world forex concept. What sounds logical to the left brain is not going to work with individuals on the whole as humanity is illogical.

The cruise sector has been criticized in the past for poor environmental and labour practices and limited positive impacts on the destinations they visit. Some cruise brands have responded by developing systems to manage their impacts and report their practices, while a great majority have not felt the need for reporting (and we therefore know less about whether they have improved their management).
A recent article published in Tourism Management has reviewed the corporate social reporting practices of cruise tourism brands to create a baseline assessment of what cruise companies should be reporting on. This index is based on the expectations of stakeholders, departing from the Global Reporting Initiative, it then has industry specific additions including labor and human rights, health and safety, and environmental and economic aspects. The study surveyed 80 brands from Cruise Lines International Association and Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association in USA and Canada, European Cruise Council in Europe and International Cruise Council Australasia and Japan Oceangoing Passenger Ship Association in Asia.
The period analysed was from 2009-2010, because these were the first reports (Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Yachts of Seabourn, and the overall Carnival Cruise Lines brand) and second and third reports (P&O Australia, AIDA, Carnival UK, TUI Travel, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Azamara, Disney Cruise Line) for most brands, with only Costa Cruises being on their 6th year of reporting. We found that only 29 brands reported any CSR information, and only the 11 brands mentioned earlier had a published CSR report, while the remaining 18 (including household names such as Norwegian CL and MSC Cruises) only mentioned CSR on their corporate website.
The results show that these brands disclose more management than performance data, which is typical of early stages of development- it is normal to first present policies, statements and systems than actual results. We found that brands disclosing less information focus on soft indicators which are easy to mimic and demonstrate posturing- typical examples are CEO statements of how important sustainability is, while no evidence of tangible actions is shown (which would be hard indicators). Items disclosed in these early reports tend to be marginal to the core of the business, have a positive economic impact or pre-empt sector regulation- we see for example no evidence of reporting how operations will impact on biodiversity, or limited mentions of how destinations benefit from cruising, and yet there are numerous mentions of energy reduction or managing emissions, effluents and waste or charitable donations.
It is worth mentioning that the study did not aim to find if the reports are appropriate to the impacts attributed to the sector, but whether it acknowledges what it does in relation to the issue- should a company state their staff do 14 hours per day, they would get a positive score for being transparent, even if this may not be an acceptable labour policy.
We conclude therefore that these early reports therefore echo the voice of the corporations and not the demands of stakeholders. A current materiality analysis of what cruise stakeholders believe is important for cruise brands to report, conducted by Leeds Metropolitan University, together with a comparison of 2009/10 and 2014 CSR reports will tell us to which extent cruise reporting is maturing by listening to stakeholders- we would welcome any interested parties getting in touch.

Watford Home
Ex-England boss Graham Taylor 'honoured' by Watford gesture
From the section Watford
The Rous Stand was renamed the Graham Taylor Stand in a ceremony before Saturday's 1-0 loss to Cardiff
Legendary Watford manager Graham Taylor has spoken of his pride at having a stand at Vicarage Road named after him.
The ex-England boss, 70, who had two successful spells as Hornets manager, has also been Watford's chairman.
He was warmly greeted by supporters on Saturday as the Rous Stand was renamed the Graham Taylor Stand.
"In this day and age, when a stand is named after somebody it's for commercial reasons. I felt honoured," he told BBC Three Counties Radio.
In his first spell as Watford boss between 1977 and 1987, Taylor took the club from the fourth division to the top flight.
Manager Graham Taylor and owner Sir Elton John oversaw five separate promotions across two spells at Watford
And in 1983 the Hornets reached their peak in the league, finishing second only to Bob Paisley's Liverpool.
Taylor returned to the club in 1996 and led the Hornets from the third tier to the Premier League, before leaving in 2001.
Both of these spells were overseen by pop star Sir Elton John, who was owner on both occasions, and will have the Community Stand named after him this weekend.
"I think the understanding and the relationship and the friendship that developed between Elton and myself was very important for the development of Watford," said Taylor.
Taylor himself was chairman at Vicarage Road for three years from 2009, but has not worked at a club since.
"One of the reasons I stepped out of the game is that I didn't like to see the way it was going with so many non-football people beginning to run our football clubs.
"As manager I had overall power. All the football matters were down to me.
"As far as Elton John was concerned, I ran the football side of the club. That has changed now."

Governor Ivey Announces $33 Million Renewal Grant Awarded to Early Childhood Education
MONTGOMERY – Governor Kay Ivey on Wednesday announced that the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education was awarded $33 million by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Education for a renewal of Alabama's Preschool Development Grant Birth Through Five (PDG B-5) initiative over the next three years.
"Alabama's youngest citizens are the future of our state, which is why I am so proud to welcome this critical funding. As we continue to grow our First Class Pre-K program, we must also expand its learning methods and best practices from birth through third grade," Governor Ivey said. "When students are successful in their first few years of school, they are much more likely to be successful throughout their life. I applaud Secretary Jeana Ross and her team at the Department of Early Childhood Education for their important work in securing these funds, and of course, for securing a strong future for the children of Alabama."
With the support of a PDG B-5 renewal grant, Alabama will continue longstanding efforts to expand access to high quality early childhood care and education for all children. The renewal grant will build upon the successes of the nationally-recognized First Class Pre-K, First Teacher Home Visiting, and Pre-K – 3rd Grade Integrated Approach to Early Learning (P-3) programs as well as promote Alabama's Born Ready movement launched earlier this month.
"This award will assist us in moving closer to realizing the vision that all Alabama children are healthy and emotionally ready to enter kindergarten, particularly low-income and disadvantaged children, and strong supports are provided to assist families in making informed choices," said Secretary Ross.
Alabama's PDG B-5 work aligns with Governor Ivey's Strong Start, Strong Finish initiative, a comprehensive education-to-workforce agenda with a focus on the birth-five continuum, recognizing a child's first five years as foundational for lifelong success. The PDG B-5 renewal grant will ensure Alabama meets the goals laid out in the Strong Start, Strong Finish initiative while continuing to improve system coordination.
During 2019, the Department of Early Childhood Education, along with 100 other state agencies and non-governmental organizations, completed a comprehensive assessment of early care and education needs in the state of Alabama and constructed a strategic plan to meet these needs. The PDG B-5 renewal grant will ensure Alabama continues to deliver high quality early childhood care and education while expanding access to programs that support all children, especially low-income, rural, disadvantaged children.
Alabama received a $10.6 million PDG B-5 award in December 2018.

Hi Jason! Glad to hear you're enjoying it. That is quite the string of coincidences, maybe we enjoyed the same sunset over Somes. I spent a lot of time on MDI growing up, and still have extended family who live there. I drove by Glen Echo a handful of times last winter as well.
Having Caly on board necessitated frequent trips to shore, but we enjoyed exploring as much as sailing, and so it was nice to be off the boat for a good part of the day anyways. Good luck with your sailing adventures!

When did we start believing that God wants to send us to safe places to do easy things? Jesus didn't die to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous. The will of God is not an insurance plan; it's a daring plan. It's time to quit living as if the purpose of your life is to arrive safely at death.
All In, a four-session video-based Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately) by New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson, challenges participants to resolutely follow God wherever he leads by pointing out that if Jesus is not Lord of all, he is not Lord at all.
Most people think they are following Jesus. They may think they are following Jesus, but the reality is, they've invited Jesus to follow them. They call him Savior, but they've never surrendered to him as Lord. Are you following Jesus? Or have you invited Jesus to follow you?
Participants will find Batterson's teaching filled with his customary vivid, contemporary stories as well as biblical characters like Shamgar, Elisha, Jonathan, and Judas. It's time to go all in for God.

Peaches would definitely appear somewhere near the top of our list of the sexiest fruit on earth if we ever got around to drawing up and publishing one – which, with a little help from our readers is something we'll be getting around to. Some time.
They've always been associated with fine dining and good health but it was probably a combination of the article in the New York Times today as well as the fact that it's almost the season for them, that inspired us to look at the fruit a little more closely.
Peaches (prunus persica) belong to the rose family as do almonds, for that matter. The fruit originated in the north of China and not Persia* as the name suggests, have been cultivated in China since the 10th century BC (or maybe even earlier) from whence they traveled along the Silk Road to Persia and then on to Europe via the trade routes.
They arrived in the Americas with the Spanish explorers and the rest, as they say, is history.
In China, peaches were reproduced in porcelain and sung about in verse; dumplings shaped like peaches were specially made for birthdays and even the wood of the peach tree was carved into amulets.
The Romans, later, believed that peaches originated in Persia as Pliny said: "as touching peaches in general, the very name in Latine whereby they are called Persica, doth evidently show that they were brought out of Persia first." Clearly he was very much mistaken and even more so when he insisted that the Egyptians introduced these peaches to the Persians.
Be that as it may, even then, there were several varieties of the fruit in Rome where they were known as "Persian Apples." The French accepted peaches into their gardens with enthusiasm and gave the fruit feminine names – probably inspired by the beauty of the fruit. Amongst the varieties were Belle de Vitry, Belle de Chevreuse and Téton de Vénus (Venus's nipples).
Although the Chinese had pioneered growing espaliered peaches, the French discovered this method independently, and the growers in Montreuil (a Parisian suburb), believe it was their invention and their recipe for the production of the best peaches. Louis XIV loved peaches so much that he gave a a life long pension to the man who provided him with peaches from Montreuil.
THE LARGEST PEACH PRODUCERS IN THE WORLD
China – 11.9 millions of tons
Italy – 1.4 millions of tons
Spain – 1.3 millions of tons
USA – 1.0 millions of tons
Greece – 0.7 millions of tons
Nectarines are cultivar groups of peaches that have smooth skins – even though "fuzzy peaches and nectarines are regarded commercially as different fruits (with nectarines often erroneously believed to be a crossbreed between peaches and plums, or a "peach with a plum skin", they belong to the same species as peaches. Several genetic studies have concluded in fact that nectarines are created due to a recessive gene, whereas a fuzzy peach skin is dominant. Nectarines have arisen many times from peach trees, often as bud sports". As with peaches, nectarines can be white or yellow, and clingstone or freestone.
On average, nectarines are slightly smaller and sweeter than peaches and because they don't have much fuzz, it may seem that the skins of the nectarines are a little more red than peaches – it stands to reason that the nectarine skin will bruise more easily than the skin of a peach. Nectarines are first mentioned in England in 1616 but they were, in all probability, first grown in central and eastern Asia. They were brought to the USA by David Fairchild of the Department of Agriculture in 1906.
PEACHES IN ASIA
Peaches are important in Asia and are grown in China, Japan, Korea, Laos and Vietnam where they're a favourite to eat and, because of the many legends and traditions surrounding them, very well known. Chinese legend has that peaches were once eaten by the immortals because it held the power to confer longevity on everyone that ate them. Yu Huang (the Jade Emperor) and his mother, the Queen Mother of the West (Xi Wangmu) made sure these gods would always be immortal by feeding them the special peaches of immortality constantly. The immortals lived in the mother's palace where they waited for these special peaches to ripen so that the Feast of Peaches banquet could be held. Since this particular tree only blossomed every thousand years and the fruit took another 3,000 to ripen they had a pretty long wait.
MYTHS AND LEGENDS ABOUT PEACHES
In Chinese tradition, the peach symbolizes long life.
Elder Zhang Guo, one of the Chinese Eight Immortals, is often depicted carrying a Peach of Immortality.
The peach blossoms are highly prized in Chinese culture.
It was in an orchard of flowering peach trees that Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took an oath of brotherhood in the opening chapter of the classic Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Momotaro, one of Japan's most noble and semi-historical heroes, was born inside an enormous peach floating down a stream – also known as Peach Boy, he went on to fight evil oni and face many adventures.
According to Samguk Sagi, peach trees were planted during the Three Kingdoms of Korea period.
In Korea, the peach is considered to be the fruit of happiness, riches, honours and longevity and is one of only ten immortal plants and animals which is why the peach can be found in so many folk paintings (also known as minhwa)
Asians also believe that both the peaches and the peach and peach trees chase away spirits – for this reason you'll never find them on any table where they venerate their ancestors – unlike other fruit.
Vietnamese mythic history tells that, in the spring of 1789, King Quang Trung ordered a messenger to gallop to Phú Xuân (known as Huế today) to deliver a flowering peach branch to the Princess Ngọc Hân. This took place after he trounced the Chinese and on the 5th day of the first lunar month, two days before the predicted end of the battle. The branch was a message of victory from a king to his queen as well as a new 'spring' of peace and happiness for all the Vietnamese people. Over and above that, because the land of Nhật Tân had given the branch of peach flowers to the king, it became the garden of loyalty of his dynasty.
In the Tale of Kieu, Kim Trọng and Thuý Kiều fell in love under the branches of a peach tree.
In Vietnam, the blossoming peach flower is the signal of spring.
Peach bonsai trees are used as decoration during Vietnamese New Year in Northern Vietnam.
The Spanish explorers brought peaches to the Americas on board their ships where the Indians, in particular, cultivated them with gusto – according to William Penn, there was "not an Indian plantation without them." It's probably thanks to the Indians that peaches spread through the country to the extent they did – the first peaches were grown in the southern states because the weather was perfect for peach cultivation. Today California is the major producer of peaches in the USA, followed by South Carolina and then Georgia.
THE LARGEST ORCHARD IN THE WORLD
The largest peach orchard in the world can be found in the far east of Beijing in Pinggu – here around 6,000 hectares with an annual output of 270 million kg in 2009 produces more than 200 different varieties of peaches in four major categories. The lay of the surrounding hills, low pollution, sandy soil, a plentiful water supply and the marked difference between day and night air temperatures, make for ideal peach-growing conditions. These peaches are shipped to 25 European countries and the fact that the Pinggu peach has now been GI** registered, makes the fruit infinitely more desirable. The peaches are huge and have a high sugar content and unique delicious taste and the fact that you will pay a little more for each fruit, well worth while.
Like many other plants in the rose family, peach seeds are a tad poisonous (they contain cyanogenetic glycosides) that can decompose into a sugar molecule and hydrogen cyanide gas. Before you go running to the fridge to dump your peaches – take note that we are talking about the seeds here and that they're not, by far, the most toxic of the plants within the rose family. The bitter almond has the 'honor' so it's probably a good idea to skip eating the seeds of any plant belonging to the rose family.
Peaches contain a goodly amount of potassium as well as vitamins C and A – they have diuretic and laxative properties and help to stimulation our digestive juices. Peach leaf tea destroys worms – which is surely loads better than buying tablets. As with most foods, prolonged cooking will destroy important nutrients from peaches. Dried peaches are more nutritious than than fresh peaches and are great to keep handy for those times of the day when you're absolutely starving and dinner's a long way off. Always keep in mind that most commercially-dried peaches are treated with sulfur dioxide to improve color and extend storage life. Be sure to read the label if you are allergic to sulfur.
It may be a good idea to have a chat with your doctor if you are concerned that you or someone in your family may have an allergy to almonds or peaches.
* The Persians brought the peach from China before Christianity and introduced it on to the Romans.
** The term GI has been defined as "Geographical Indications", in relation to goods, means an indication which identifies such goods as agricultural goods, natural goods or manufactured goods as originating, or manufactured in the territory of a country, or a region or locality in that territory, where a given quality, reputation or other characteristics of such goods is essentially attributable to its geographical origin and in case where such goods are manufactured goods one of the activities of either the production or of processing or preparation of the goods concerned takes place in such territory, region or locality, as the case may be.
