Which agency will decide the government's intention is pious in the public interest; mere the media have been working for all the investigative information, which the public could be able to know, but here the journalists' entry in the police stations has been banned through an office order issued by ASP Bareilly. He has issued and circulated an office order for this purpose. The local journalists are in resentment after this ban.
Mr PremPrakash, ADG zone, has reacted and said, "There should not be ban on the journalist's entry in the police stations. The press freedom is our priority."
ASP Ashok Kumar Meena hails from district Tonk Rajsthan and graduated in marine engineering.
ASP Ashok Meena posted on CO-II in district Bareilly, has the charge of three police stations; namely, Qila, Subhash Nagar and CB Ganj. He has directed his subordinates to urge on journalists tightly.
The station officers of the police stations have been directed to set up enquiry against the journalists and then take action against them. He has also directed to the station officers to let the journalists be not allowed the entry into police stations. Mere one time entry per day has been allowed in the police stations.
Not evenso, he has directed that the journalists who are not complying with the order should be added in a lists to contemplate the stern actions against them… here the apprehension among the journalists are what is going on so which caused to issue such order. ASP Ashok Meena has not clarified in the order.

Teacher Inspires Kids to Draw Breathtaking Portraits of Refugee Kids Instead of Themselves
McKinley Corbley
Art teacher Amy Hall didn't just want to teach her children about portraiture last semester – she wanted to teach them about empathy.
That's why Hall started working in collaboration with the Memory Project, an organization that invites students and art teachers to create portraits of abused or neglected children in order to make them feel valued.
"Middle school can be tough (hormones, puberty, changing bodies) and I have found that sometimes drawing yourself is the most difficult thing to do," says Hall.
"So, I worked with … this amazing organization [that] works in countries all over the world with children experiencing substantial challenges. My loving and compassionate students chose to work with children from Syria, because they felt these children could benefit the most."
WATCH: WWII Refugees Write Comforting Letters To Syrian Refugee Youth
Hall's students at the Friends School of Wilmington in North Carolina received photographs of Syrian children and orphans from Memory Project volunteers. After creating a breathtaking series of portraits based on the photos, they sent them off back to Syria.
The Memory Project workers then made a video of the kids' reactions to the portraits.
Despite the joy clearly exuding from the children's reactions to the portraits, Hall said that there wasn't a dry eye in her classroom after they had watched it themselves.

"I remember spending all of November working on our portraits," says one of Hall's students named Louise. "I knew they were going to Syria, but I didn't really know exactly where they were going or how they were going to get there. All I knew is that they were going to someone who needed it.
"When we received the video I was blown away by how happy the kids were. In both the refugee camp and the orphanage, they barely had anything because they weren't able to keep all their personal belongings, so the fact that they had these pictures was a huge thing for them."
Another student named Lily said: "Although the paintings were fun, seeing the kids' faces when they took out their portrait was definitely the best part. I love making people happy, and seeing kids who usually can't do the things we can is awesome."

Another South West Community Goes Gasfield Free
SEPTEMBER 5, 2016: The community of North Boyanup in WA's South West is about to join nearly 400 other communities across Australia in declaring themselves Gasfield Free, and have invited community members from across the region to join them for a Gasfield Free declaration day on September 18.
The Boyanup Gasfield Free Group has spent many months surveying local residents to see if they would like to declare their community gasfield free.
Spokesperson for the group Kathy Thomson said the results were overwhelmingly in favour of the community becoming gasfield free.
"Our community is bang smack in the middle of Bunbury Energy's proposed gas lease and in declaring North Boyanup Gasfield Free we will be sending a clear message to the gas industry that it is not welcome here," Ms Thomson said.
"We are a farming and lifestyle area made up of hard working people who love their community and their way of life and we don't want to see that jeopardized by an industry that we do not want or need.
"Gasfields are incompatible with the agricultural industries already here.
"Our survey results, which will be revealed at the declaration day on September 18, will show that the gas industry does not have a social licence to operate in this community."
North Boyanup will be the second community in the south west to declare itself off limits to the gas industry and follows Stratham's Gasfield Free declaration on July 24.
"We are inviting community members from across our region to join us in celebrating this milestone event," Ms Thomson said.
"A number of other communities in the South west are also preparing to declare themselves Gasfield Free as the movement against fracking and the unconventional gas industry gathers strength across this region.
"We want to protect our land, our water, our health and our way of life."
The official Gasfield Free Community Declaration will be made on September 18 at 37 Lillydale Road in North Boyanup at 11am.
Members of the public and the media are welcome to attend the event.

As Harris falters, Allies and Campaign mull Following steps
By admin on September 19, 2019
Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., formerly regarded as a top-tier competition for its 2020 Democratic Party nomination, has lost substantial ground in the crowded area while other candidates are picking up steam.
With just more than four weeks left before Iowa's leadoff caucuses, Harris has dropped to five percent assistance from the newest NBC/WSJ poll published Tuesday, placing her in the fifth position behind former Vice President Joe Biden, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana.
It is a steep fall for its former California attorney general, that entered the presidential race with a massive rally in her hometown of Oakland past January. She jumped into prominence following the first nationally televised Democratic argument in June, where she predicted Biden, the area's front-runner, over his previous statements on public school busing.
Harris has faded because. Her next debate functionality, in July, was panned because she defended her record as a prosecutor and functioned to describe her stance on healthcare reform. She did little to rebound from the next argument earlier this month, projecting a lot of her focus toward President Trump.
And she has had a mild campaign program this summer.
When Harris returns to Iowa this weekend to the Polk County Democrats' Steak Fry, it is going to be her first visit to the country over a month. She has visited only 18 of Iowa's 99 counties up to now.
It has been over two weeks since her last trip to South Carolina, in which Harris, who's African American, is relying upon a strong showing one of the black voters that constitute most the nation's Democratic primary voters.
And Harris was in New Hampshire only once in the previous two months.
In contrast, Biden has campaigned actively in the first competition countries. Since August 1, the former vice president was to Iowa three occasions, New Hampshire doubles and South Carolina twice. He has been around 21 of Iowa's 99 counties, even though having entered the race in April, three weeks later Harris.
She held fundraising events in Chicago and New York City last weekend, even bypassing a significant labor summit in Philadelphia on Tuesday to raise money from the Baltimore area rather.
Harris advisers state the candidate will continue to reevaluate fundraising before their September 30 third-quarter fundraising deadline. The California senator increased $12 million in the next quarter, significantly less than Biden, Warren, Sanders, and Buttigieg.
With falling poll numbers and a lean effort program, Harris needs a healthy fundraising haul to maintain an effective functioning heading into winter.
Campaign spokesman Ian Sams told NBC the effort wishes to"ensure we have the nest egg to be more aggressive and viable through March" and insisted that the candidate will likely be"on the road a great deal more" come October.
We are planning to peak at the turn of this year once we're coming votes and we are designed to do this."
From the brand new NBC/WSJ poll, 15 percent of Democratic primary voters said that they did not understand her name. By comparison, only 7 percent stated that roughly Warren and one percent said that approximately Biden and Sanders.
He told NBC News he"originally enjoyed [Harris] at the beginning" but followed closely "I do not know what she stands for – there is not a very clear message for me personally."
It is a point of pity for Lateefah Simon, a longtime mentee of Harris who stated she was"crying at the TV" while watching the next argument, imploring Harris to tell the tales that define her album as an innovative prosecutor.
Simon, who works on criminal justice reform in California, says Harris must"let it raw" and invoke her personal encounters.
Simon remembers a moment when Harris, then a district attorney, was reassuring a mother whose daughter was murdered. After the victim's mom came to Harris' office sobbing following the killer trial, Harris got down to her knees.
"I am here for you. Check me.
"I've watched her not to tell these tales," Simon recalls. "Why not speak about Claire? Why not tell that story?"
Deb Mesloh, a longtime Harris buddy and campaign adviser, told NBC News that she's learned never to doubt Harris because she has shown resilience in demanding elections because of her district attorney and attorney general articles. However, Mesloh confessed the scale of running for president restricts the chances for Harris to create personal connections with Republicans.
"What I would like to see is to allow her to continue to talk about her personal story and for her to continue to discuss her life history and also the things that tell her leadership and connect with voters at a one-on-one sense so that they get to understand her," Mesloh said.
Sams, the Harris campaign spokesman, said the effort knows it's working up against applicants, namely Biden, Sanders, and Warren, who'd built-in national reputations before announcing their presidential bids.
"Voters will need to know that you are. They will need to comprehend why you are running," Sams said. "The three people atop the surveys are well known nationwide for quite a while and have powerful brands… .all other people who have yet to be federal figures before needing to do more to inform people what we are about and get it ."

Sums up my day. There was a bad accident last night on the Woodhead Pass and one this morning on the Snake Pass. You could see all the flashing blue lights from tescos car park at 630 this morning.
I decided to take it really slowly on the back roads, but of course some plank decided that 30 mph on an icy road wasn't fast enough. So he over took me. Plonker I thought (you know the real word I thought). Get around the next corner only to find the Vauxhall Vectra half in the wall, half on the road. Got out, warning triangle out, ran police and check the guy out. He was fine, think it was the shock for me, but i swore at this guy so badly. not a nice thing to do, but he was so lucky to escape with this life. IF he'd spun theo the other way he'd have gone down a 100 ft sheer drop and certain death.
Anyway quick trip to Rothy Police station for my statement this lunchtime (Glossop police said that would be fine), but summed the day up. Poo from the start.

Q: preg_match_all and umlets I am using preg_match_all to filter out strings
The string which I have supplied in preg_match_all is
$text = "Friedric'h Wöhler"

after that I use
preg_match_all('/(\"[^"]+\"|[\\p{L}\\p{N}\\*\\-\\.\\?]+)/', $text, $arr, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);

and the result i get when I print $arr is
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => friedric
            [1] => h
            [2] => w
            [3] => ouml
            [4] => hler
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => friedric
            [1] => h
            [2] => w
            [3] => ouml
            [4] => hler
        )

)

Somehow the ö character is replaced by ouml which I am not really sure how to figure this out
I am expecting following result
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => Friedric'h
            [1] => Wöhler
        )

)

A: Per nhahtdh's comment:
$text = "Friedric'h Wöhler";
preg_match_all('/"[^"]+"|[\p{L}\p{N}*.?\\\'-]+/u', $text, $arr, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($arr);
echo "</pre>";

Gives
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => Friedric'h
            [1] => Wöhler
        )

)

A: If you think preg_match_all() is messy, you could take a look at pattern():
$p = '"[^"]+"|[\p{L}\p{N}*.?\\\'-]+';  // automatic delimiters
$text = "Friedric'h Wöhler";

$result = pattern($p)->match($text)->all();

The genetic and environmental origins of spatial, mathematics and general anxiety
by Robert Chapman | Mar 8, 2017 | Education, Mathematics, Spatial ability, Twin and Adoption Studies
Good spatial skills are very important for our every-day life, from finding our way around the city to assembling flat-packed furniture. Furthermore, good spatial skills have been linked to success in the STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) professions. People differ greatly in their spatial skills and in the ease with which they approach spatial tasks. Part of these differences in spatial skills is accounted for by differences in intelligence, and part linked to other factors. One of such factors is spatial anxiety, the anxiety people experience when dealing with tasks that include a spatial component, such as, for example, using a map to navigate the city. Tasks that have a spatial component are multiple and include large-scale activities, such as navigation and orienting, and smaller-scale spatial activities such as the abilities to visualise and mentally rotate objects –fundamental skills used every day by many professionals, form designers and engineers to surgeons. The few investigations that have examined spatial anxiety have found that it is negatively associated with performance in spatial tasks, and it has been proposed that it may impair performance in spatial skills; however, studies into spatial anxiety are few and several aspects of this important construct remain unexplored.
In this study, we identified three fundamental questions regarding spatial anxiety that remain unanswered: firstly, is spatial anxiety a unitary construct or do some people experience anxiety only for certain spatial skills? Secondly, what are the origins of the differences between people in spatial anxiety? Why are some individuals more anxious about spatial activities than others? And thirdly, are those who experience spatial anxiety also those who tend to experience anxiety in other domains, such as for example mathematics? We explored these questions in a large sample of 18-20 year-old twins, members of the Twins Early Development Study (TEDS) based at King's College.
Firstly, our research found that spatial anxiety is a multi-factorial construct, including two different components: navigation anxiety, experienced by people while performing large-scale navigation and orienting tasks, and rotation/visualization anxiety, experienced by people while performing smaller-scale spatial tasks, such as mentally rotating objects. This shows that those who feel anxious when faced with the task of navigating around a city are not necessarily anxious about all activities involving a spatial component. And the same is observed for those who feel anxious about having to solve a geometry problem or having to build a 3D design from a 2D drawing.
Secondly, differences between people in navigation anxiety are moderately heritable, which means that genetic differences between people explain about 40% of their differences in navigation anxiety. Rotation/visualization anxiety was found to be less heritable, with genetic differences explaining 30% of the differences between people. Therefore, we all differ in navigation and rotation/visualization anxiety partly for genetic reasons and mostly due to non-shared environmental factors. Non-shared environments are those individual-specific environments that are not shared between twins raised in the same families, such as for example different extra-curricular activities, different teachers and peers. These environments were found to explain a substantial part of differences in spatial anxiety (both navigation and rotation/visualization) between people.
Thirdly, we found that navigation and rotation/visualization anxiety are different from mathematics and general anxiety, therefore those who experience spatial anxiety are not necessarily those who tend to be generally anxious, or to experience anxiety towards other STEM-related activities such as mathematics. This separation between the four types of anxiety was reflected at the biological level, as we found genetic and environmental influences to be mostly specific to each anxiety construct. Although part of the same genes were found to be implicated in all anxiety measures, a large proportion of the heritability was not shared across anxiety types. The same was observed for the non-shared environmental factors, which were found to be specific to each measure.
These findings have important implications for both research and practice. Firstly, they have potential implications for interventions aimed at reducing anxiety, as they call for the need to intervene at the domain-specific level. The majority of interventions aimed at alleviating the negative symptoms of mathematics anxiety have applied techniques that were found to be successful in diminishing general anxiety, with largely unsuccessful results. Our findings suggest that interventions targeting general anxiety might only address a small part of the problem experienced by students suffering from mathematics and spatial anxiety and call for the need of considering the specificity of each anxiety construct when developing interventions. Secondly, these results have implications for future molecular genetic hunting for the specific genes contributing to differences in anxiety between people, as they suggests that only some of the same genes contribute to anxiety in several domains, and that most of them are specific to each anxiety domain.

REVIEW: 'Mercy,' Issue #3
06/25/2020 06/10/2021 - by Max Funkey
Mercy #3 is published by Image Comics. It comes from the creative team of writer, artist, and colorist Mirka Andolfo. She is assisted by colorists Gianluca Papi, and Francesca Carotenuto and letterer Fabio Amelia.
This issue begins with a small child scraping at the ruins of a mine cave-in. A figure approaches from behind while the child struggles. As the child turns, revealing himself to be infected with the same monstrous affliction as seen in previous issues, he is killed. His assailants are revealed to be a mysterious group of indigenous hunters. With the monstrous child dead the group discusses their next move.
Meanwhile, back in Woodsburgh, the freshly adopted Rory watches as Mr. Goodwill dresses Lady Hellaine. As the three talk, Mr. Goodwill explains his plans to find a suitor for Hellaine. He puts the finishing touches on her dress and departs. As Goodwill's plan goes into action new players are introduced into the game. But unless they act quickly Woodsburgh will soon be introduced to the horrors that Goodwill and Hellaine intend to unleash.
With Mercy #3 we've hit the halfway point of the series, which is both good and bad. The good is that Andolfo's story is picking up in intensity and the stakes are rapidly growing. The bad, however, is the pacing. I've spoken before about the mysterious nature of the characters in this series. With the first two issues those mysteries were understandable as much of the time was spent establishing setting and conflict. But with issue #3 too much remains unexplained. There are hints and tidbits of information explaining who and what Goodwill and Hellaine are, but not anything concrete. Meanwhile pages are spent with him agonizing over Hellaine's appearance and teaching her how to keep human food down.
There could very well be payoff for these scenes in future issues. But it's hard to imagine any payoff that could be more worthwhile than spending that time giving more backstory or information instead. I still believe the central conflict of the story to be very interesting, and the hunters are a very cool new wrinkle. But we've hit the halfway point and the story feels like it's mirroring Lady Hellaine itself. A mask of refinement barely holding back the horrors underneath. This would be great, except I want to see more of the horror and less of the refinement.
The art, on the other hand, remains gorgeous. Every page is a joy to look at and when the horrors are unleashed, Andolfo does so beautifully. The colors from Andolfo, Papi, and Carotenuto jump back and forth wonderfully from warm to stark cold. Meanwhile, Amelia's letters continue to enhance the presentation with their cleanliness and excellent SFX.
Overall, I still quite enjoy this series, but I want to see more from it. With three issues left Mercy #3 threatens to leave much unsaid or, worse, said all at once instead of at an even pace. I still look forward to the next issue, and am too invested in the central mystery to move on. I just hope that the next issue takes a little more time to really let loose, because we can all see that Hellaine is barely keeping it together.

Farce (französisch für "Füllung") oder Füllsel ist eine Masse aus feingehacktem, im Fleischwolf gemahlenem, im Kutter zerkleinertem oder im Mörser zerstoßenem Fleisch, Fisch oder Gemüse, die kräftig gewürzt und mit z. B. Eiweiß, Rahm oder Bechamel gebunden wird. Besonders feine Farcen werden noch durch ein Sieb gestrichen.

Farcen werden oft zur Füllung von Pasteten, Galantinen und Gemüsen, Geflügel, Fisch oder entsprechend vorbereiteten Fleischteilen verwendet. Sie können auch zum Gratinieren oder, zu Klößchen geformt, als Beilage oder Suppeneinlage verwendet werden.

Vom Wort "Farce" leitet sich der vor allem in Österreich gebräuchliche Begriff "Faschiertes" (für Hackfleisch) ab.

Historisches

Raffiniert zubereitete Farcen sind typisch für die französische und auch italienische Küche und gehen ursprünglich auf Fruchtfüllungen zurück, wie sie bereits in der Vorantike im westlichen Mittelmeer-Raum und in Gallien verbreitet waren. Vor der Zeit des Gewürzhandels wurden regional verfügbare Kräuter, Nüsse und Pilze, auch Innereien (Leber) in die Füllungen verarbeitet. Im nördlicher gelegenen germanischen Kulturkreis war die Küche traditionell bodenständiger und weniger raffiniert, auf Füllung wurde verzichtet, oder sie bestanden meist aus süßen Früchten, Beeren und vor allem Äpfeln. Im ausgehenden Mittelalter hat der aufblühende Handel die Tradition nach Norden getragen und mit den jeweiligen regionalen Gepflogenheiten vermischt.

Formen der Farce
 Duxelles: Würzige Farce aus sehr fein gehackten oder gemahlenen Pilzen (meist Champignons) und Schalotten.
 Fischfarce: Rohen Fisch (z. B. Hecht) und Eierpanade zu gleichen Teilen mit Ei vermengen.
 Fleischfarce: Rohes Schweinefleisch, Weißbrot, Sahne, gedünstete Zwiebeln vermischen und mit Madeira abrunden. Fleischfarce kann mit Geflügelleber, Sellerie, Maronen, Pilzen usw. variiert werden.
 Geflügelfarce: Gekochtes Geflügelfleisch, Ei und Sahne vermengen und mit Weinbrand parfümieren.
 Geflügelleberfarce: In Butter angebratene Lebern pürieren und mit Ei und Sahne binden.
 Schaumfarce (Mousselinefarce): Kalb-, Geflügel- oder Wildfleisch sehr fein mahlen, mit Eiweiß binden, kühlen und Sahne unter die Masse ziehen. Kann auch mit Fisch zubereitet werden.

Is a technique for catching fish in the water column, somewhere between the surface and the lake bed. The idea is to cause the hook bait to sink slowly down through the water in a natural way. Fishing on the drop is most effective when the water is clear, often in the height of summer or the depth of winter. Roach and Rudd tend to be the target species. Not only because they are mid water fish, but they will often continue to feed on hot days, cold days and in clear water.
There are two basic rigs for fishing on the drop. On waters of no more than four feet deep, dust shot, is pinched on to the line between hook and the float, every 12 inches or so. All the rest of the shot carrying capacity of the float, is fixed directly under the float. Dust shot comes in sizes No.8 down to No.13, I like to use tens and twelve for on the drop. Some anglers prefer to use a loaded float, which already has most of it's shot carrying capacity built in.
If the point of this rig is to allow the bait to sink slowly, it would not be unreasonable to imagine that it would be better not to have any shot below the float. There are three very good reasons why shot is used. Firstly, the line has some resistance slowing the bait as it falls through the water. Adding some small shot to the line helps to ensure the bait falls at a natural speed and at the same speed as any loose feed. The second reason is perhaps more important. Without shot on the line, the line may not behave as you would like, on the cast or under the water. With no weight on the line to connect the bait with the float, a fish may need to swim a distance before the float registers.
But even with a small amount of weight on the line, the float is likely to register a bite sooner. Lastly, as the shot settle, the float will be pulled down to it's fully cocked position. If the float takes too long to settle, then a fish has intercepted the bait. An unsettled float, is still a bite.
If the water is more than four feet deep, the float can once again become slow to register a bite. With this deeper water rig, a bulk of shot is used just over halfway between the float and the hook. Dust shot is then placed under the bulk at regular intervals as before.
Once in the water the bulk quickly comes into play, then the rest of the rig sinks slowly down. But instead of having six or eight feet of line between hook and float, we have just three or four feet between the hook and the bulk. A taking fish soon moves the bulk which in turn pulls the float. Because the bulk is just below halfway, the hook is still able to sink the full depth of the water column.
It is better to use as light a line as possible with these rigs, light line is more supple and less visible to the fish. Main lines of two or three pound breaking strain, with hook lengths of 12oz to 2lb I find are best. I like to attach the hook length with a four turn water knot, or you can use a loop to loop connection. I always use a hook length of around 12 inches long that is weaker than the main line. Not only in case of a line break, but also to have the most supple part of the line attached to the hook.
Clear water is best for fishing on the drop, a period of calm weather at any time of year can cause the colour to drop out of lake water. With the weather being calm, float choice is less critical compared to float fishing at other times. The float should be a sensitive float, an insert waggler, a small bodied waggler or perhaps a pole float are all possibilities. But whatever float you use it must be sensitive.
By it's very nature, fishing on the drop is best done with small baits on small hooks. Maggots, casters, bread paste, bread punch, small cubes of meat, in fact any small light bait should work on hooks from 22 up to 18.
I would always recommend feeding to attract and keep the fish in your swim. A complementary loose feed or ground bait should be used. When using bread paste, flake or punched bread on the hook, ground bait the swim with liquidised bread in the summer, and a bread based cloud ground bait in the winter. Use small conker size balls and throw them in regularly to maintain a cloud in the water. Whereas for example, when using maggot on the hook, catapult a few out on every cast. I like to feed twice with maggots, in the hope the tiddlers will still be eating the fist lot when the second lot arrives. That way there is hope that some maggots will make it down to the lower layers.
Cast out and let the rig settle, the bait should sink at a rate of about one foot every five or six seconds. Bites are usually positive with the float being pulled under. Lift bites are very unlikely, but the float may move sideways which is still a bite. When the bait has fully dropped, reel in a few turns to cause the bait to raise in the water and allow it to sink once again. You can represent the bait maybe three times before having to reel in and recast.
Even in fairly deep water the rig only takes a minute or two to fully sink. Concerns over the float drifting are not so important, sinking the line is not usually necessary. But leaving the line floating can be an advantage, allowing the line to be easily picked up off the surface on the strike.
I have perhaps given the impression that the rig should be set to full depth. In the winter fish will often shoal off the bottom and occupy a layer in the water that is most comfortable. But how do you know how deep the fish are? Fortunately you can work it out by watching the float. If the float never seems to settle before you get a bite, it means the fish are intercepting the bait before it has fallen all the way down. Shorten your rig to where you think the fish are.
If after a while the bites fall away, it could be the fish have gone deeper, so lengthen your rig to reach them once more. Expect to alter the depth of your rig several times in a session to stay in touch with the fish. If the bait drops to the full and the float settles properly without a bite, leave the rig for a minute or two, then represent or recast. It's perfectly alright to leave the bait suspended mid-water for a short time, but not too long, we are after all fishing on the drop.
In the summer the fish can be very spread out and at different depths. Rudd love the warm upper layers. Roach will swim at any depth, but the better Roach are often near the bottom. On hot summer days when most species are lazing around, Rudd will bite even in the middle of the day. There are occasions when the Rudd will be so close to the surface, that a slightly different approach will be needed.
Here I am fishing the float laying flat on the surface. The float is attached at both ends with a float rubber and then weights on either side. Although I have no control whatever over the float, it really didn't matter as the fish were happily taking the bait.


Below is the initial tryout and practice schedule for Boys Freshmen Basketball.
Player selection decisions will be made on Wednesday, November 7. If necessary, there will be a second round of player selection decisions later on during the first week.
If you plan to tryout for Freshmen Basketball and are participating in a Fall sport that is still in-season when basketball tryouts begin (November 5), you will start your tryout on the day after your last fall sport contest (e.g., fall season ends Friday, basketball tryout starts Saturday). However, you must complete all "Prerequisites to trying out" (see below) on or before Friday, November 2.
We have two scrimmages scheduled in November.
As a general rule, we will have game or practice activities every day, Monday through Saturday until our season ends in February, including Thanksgiving and Winter Breaks. Attendance at ALL team practices, meetings, and games is expected. If you must miss due to extenuating circumstances, you need to contact me PRIOR to the beginning of a practice, meeting, or game. Unexcused absences will result in sitting out game time. An excused missed practice, meeting, or game will result in loss of opportunity to start in the next game.
You have on file a completed Physical Examination form for the current school year.
You turn-in an Emergency Care Card specifically completed for winter sports/activities.
BOTH YOU AND ONE OF YOUR PARENTS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THE ONLINE CONCUSSION TEST (https://www.fcps.edu/activities/student-athletics).
All of the forms must be filled out completely.
The prerequisites should be completed and turned in by Friday, November 2. If the prerequisites are not completed before Monday, November 5, you will not be permitted to participate.
Scholarship – There are academic requirements for participating. Other things being equal, a student with a good academic record will earn an advantage during the selection process.
Team balance – We cannot field a team with all guards…or all centers. We need a good mix of players by position. You might be the third best player trying out and not make the team, because the two best players play your position.
Competition for selection onto a high school basketball team is fierce, as only 10-15 players will make the Freshmen team. At tryouts, we will undoubtedly have the best 10% or so of the players at Fairfax High School. Unfortunately, fewer than that will make the team. No player likes to be told he's not good enough to make the team; no coach likes to tell a player that either. But it has to be done for some when there are a limited number of roster spots.
If you should fail to make the team, don't be too despondent. Getting "cut" doesn't mean a player isn't a quality individual, or even a quality basketball player. Players sometimes aren't at their best at exactly the wrong time. Coaches can make mistakes, too.
Whatever the circumstances for not making the team, there are plenty of good opportunities for those players not chosen: other Fairfax winter sports, recreation youth basketball leagues, etc. If you don't make the team, you can continue to work hard on improving all aspects (remember the selection criteria) of your game; perhaps even to the point where you can out-compete others for a roster spot next year.
If you want to talk about your individual situation before or after the selection process, please feel free to contact me.

BRT hoping for more silly season shake-ups
By Connor O'Brien
Tuesday 30th November, 2021 - 1:30pm
The #3 CoolDrive Mustang driven by Tim Slade. Picture: Ross Gibb
It's been a wild Supercars silly season and the Blanchard Racing Team hopes it is not finished just yet.
The Ford squad will carry a stable core into 2022 with driver Tim Slade returning, but an additional licence awarded to Tickford Racing for next year is set to have significant ramifications for BRT.
The #3 CoolDrive Mustang currently shares a pit boom with the third Tickford Mustang, but will be bumped to the bottom end of pit lane next year when the Tim Edwards-led squad expands.
Worse yet, it faces the prospect of being all on its own in a bay – meaning likely extra costs to pay for an entire pit crew – because as it stands, there's set to be an odd number (25) of cars on next year's grid.
It's not out of the question that there could be last-minute changes though, with rumours continuing to circulate about Team Sydney potentially selling; something which its owner Jonathon Webb has denied.
Hypothetically, if Team Sydney did sell, one of its licences could be picked up by a rival outfit – most likely Matt Stone Racing, which has been vocal in its quest to run a third car – with the other returning to the shelf, making for a 24-car field.
Alternatively, if Team Sydney remains, MSR could still be awarded a third licence in a move that would increase the grid to 26.
Blanchard remains adamant that an even number is the logical solution for Supercars to facilitate: "That's what it should always be. Being an odd number of cars, it's crazy. Just silly."
He won't be taking matters into his own hands however, with Blanchard ruling out expanding to two cars for 2022 despite having a spare Gen2 Mustang in its possession.
"I guess if something changes at Webby's, that might open the door but at the moment I don't know what's happening there, so we're just planning and preparing as if we are by ourselves [in pit lane]," he told Speedcafe.com.
"It's too late in the year [for us to expand to two cars for 2022]. We don't have the resources, we don't have the partners in place, and we don't have the staffing levels to equate to running two cars properly.
"We're still short-staffed for running one and we wouldn't be able to put it together in this short timeframe.
"If this was June/July, then yeah we'd be looking at it, but this late in the year, it's just going to compromise our existing programme too much."
BRT's maiden season will come to a close following this weekend's Repco Bathurst 1000.
Mount Panorama was the scene of the team's Supercars Championship debut nine months ago, when Slade secured a stunning front-row start for Race 1 of the season.
A podium dream ended in tears though, with Slade finding the fence heavily in the closing laps while hunting down Will Davison.
A return to The Mountain though brings excitement for Blanchard.
"We had a very strong package there at the beginning of the year and that was straight off the bat," said the man who will co-drive with Slade in the Great Race.
"We've got nearly 10 months' experience since then, so we have developed the car and as a team tremendously in that time period and hopefully we can use that experience to be even more competitive now."
The Supercars Championship field will first be on-track at Mount Panorama on Thursday morning.


All my favorite things as I discover them…or as soon as I get bored enough at work to write about it.
So I'm going through some new videos on my computer, trying to distract myself from the unbearably stifling heat in my apartment by finding some new material for the blog, when I stumble across this rather unassuming music video for Minks' "Margot". The visuals didn't really grab me at first so I jumped to another tab in my browser, but I kept the song playing in the background as I looked at other things. And wow, it didn't take long before I stopped what I was doing and went back to this video.
August is the perfect time for breezy New Wave pop songs like this. This is the kind of song you crank on your stereo as you drive around aimlessly with all your windows all the way down. It feels optimistic yet nostalgic; energetic and yet lazy and lackadaisical. It reminds me a lot of all the Swedish pop music I love, which also reminds me, I'd really love to visit Sweden in the summertime sometime.
After I had watched the "Margot" video a few more times I looked up and noticed that the tab right next to the one I was on also started with "Minks…" and I thought I had mistakenly opened up the same video twice. Upon clicking on that tab I received the most wonderful gift though, in that right next door was a fan video for another Minks song, "Playboys Of The Western World", crafted by none other but my favorite music video editor, David Dean Burkhart. By pure coincidence this video happened to end up right next to the other one in my cluttered browser, and it surely was one of the most pleasant accidents that I've had in a long while. Songs like these just fill me with happiness and pleasant feelings. In a matter of minutes Minks had gone from a band I'd never heard of before to something I was massively excited about.
Minks' new album 'Tides End' is out now.

Nathan Wiens is a Canadian naturalistic designer and woodworker. Wiens founded Chapel Arts in the Railtown district of Vancouver in 2006.

Childhood and youth
Nathan Wiens is the son of architect Clifford Wiens and artist (pottery) and educator Patricia Wiens. The family visited art galleries, attended powwows, and played music at home. As a child, the young Wiens was also a potter. He says his father had "immeasurable influence" on him: "He and my mother created a rich creative environment for my five sisters and myself... He has been a tough act to follow, but he's left me room to rise as my own man."

In high school, Wiens played in a band called "Nick Danger" with Colin James.

Career
In the early to mid 1980s Wiens worked in the music industry "as a builder, roadie and performer" in the "underground" punk music scene. Wiens travelled to Vancouver, British Columbia for the first time during Expo 86 to work on installations with Edward Poitras and over time established himself there working as an artist and producer.

Woodworker
Wiens is known as a craftsman of naturalistic custom wood furniture pieces, but he is sometimes willing to reproduce some pieces, such as dining room table with a curved indent which proved popular. In Vancouver, his work may be found in stores such as ALife and John Fluevog (the biggest client), as well as the Shine nightclub and the Edgewater Casino.

Process
Wiens describes his woodworking process as "tunnelling", something influenced by his experience with pottery as a child:We shuffle a deck of all these parts that create shapes, out of flat panels, kind of like a topographical map, using the CNC machine.  Like architectural models do the landscape – in  layers.  We do this with wood, on budgets sometimes modest, sometimes grand.
Large scale pieces have come out of the process in the manner of matrioschka, one piece fitting inside the other.

Studio

In about 2004, Wiens was looking for a place to relocate his Yaletown furniture business. He found a garage at Dunlevy and Cordova in Downtown Eastside, but had to buy the Armstrong Funeral Chapel as part of the deal. The studio has 22-foot ceilings topped by strips of Douglas fir, and "piles" of reclaimed fir beams which he acquired from torn down warehouses, as well as local walnut, maple, butternut and oak. In a 2009 interview, he remarked: "Most people aren't using the vast variety of local exotics, especially on a commercial level".

Chapel Arts venue and gallery

The funeral home Wiens bought was originally known as the Chapel of Flowers. The building is thought to date back to 1892 or 1893, a house at first, with additions to the building in 1911 or 1912 when it became Armstrong and Hotson Undertakers, and then in 1936 an art deco façade was added giving the appearance of a single structure. It was renamed Armstrong & Co. Funeral Directors. Like the studio, the interior has high ceilings.

Seeing that the building he was purchasing came with a hall, Wiens saw its potential as a centre for the arts and other purposes: "Once I owned the chapel, I envisioned it as a family, community arts and multi-use facility. The community is always screaming for such facilities, which remain scarce in the area, so it served a need." He spent several months renovating and refurbishing it until it officially opened as a 126-seat venue in December 2006 with a live concert. Wiens christened the new venue Chapel Arts. It has since evolved into a group of "creators, fabricators, and artists" led by Wiens.

The performance space is located on the lower level in the 1936 addition, formerly the funeral chapel itself, next to which is a hidden driveway, originally for the hearse, while at the other side of the performance space is the 1911/2 addition, the original chapel. The upper level, once the coffin display room, now serves as a community art gallery.

Since the Spring of 2008, Chapel Arts has hosted various acts and community events, concerts, parties, meetings, and grad shows for, among others, Kwantlen Polytechnic University's visual arts program and the Emily Carr University of Art and Design.

Related pursuits
Wiens has collaborated with MascallDance on more than one occasion, notably Caribou (1991) for Ron Stewart and Outliner (2016), a solo performance by his sister Robin Poitras, for whom he created dresses made out of wood.

Personal life
When asked about the significance of naming his workshop The chapel, Wiens said he is not religious: "I was raised in a family filled with artists and stuff, so I guess that's what I believe in. I believe in makers instead of The Maker."

This is our sixth collaborative project with Graham Marsh, the co-author of The Ivy Look.
Four brand new designs have been added to our Vintage Ivy Collection, which first began in 2013.
All the essential details are there to replicate the 1960s Ivy Look.
- Each limited edition shirt comes with a specially designed postcard by Graham Marsh. Collect four shirts to collect all four designs!
1. Soft roll button-down collar, the essence of the Ivy Look.
2. Back collar button, locker loop and box pleat are essential details.
3. Stitched with the greatest care, the classic one button barrel cuff.
4. Specially researched fabric to recreate the look of 1960s.
5. These shirts have been washed to create a unique texture. This may cause the shirt to shrink up to 2 % from its original given measurements.


Manufacto is a new program from the Fondation d'entreprise Hermès: a skills factory aimed at raising young people's awareness of opportunities in artisan trades. Started in 2016, craftsmen work in classes with pupils from elementary schools, secondary and high schools and introduce participants to the world of artisanship, its raw materials, expertise, and the culture of the fine, hand-crafted object.
For Manufacto, we have designed the objects produced in classes by the students, in partnership with the craftsmen.

Q: Struct definida no arquivo.c auxiliar (com definição de funções e structs) não é reconhecida no main Estou fazendo um projeto em C, e tenho 3 arquivos:
1 .c  contendo as definições de funções e structs.
1 .h contendo os protótipos dessas funções e structs
ae1 .c que contém o main.
No .c com as definições, eu defini a struct:
typedef struct vector {

    int numDePosicoes;
    double vetor[5000];

}ESTRUCT;

E no método main, eu tento criar uma instância dessa struct
da seguinte maneira:
int main(int argc,char* argv[]) {

    ESTRUCT vetor;

    //criando separadamente um ponteiro para a struct
    ESTRUCT *ponteiroPraVetor = &vetor;

Mas o gcc acusa o erro: "error: unknown type name 'ESTRUCT'"
Tanto na criação da struct, quando na criação do ponteiro para ela.
Obs: Eu estou usando um Makefile para montar o programa, segue ele abaixo:
CFLAGS=-Wall

Roteiro5exe:    mainr5.o    Roteiro5.o

mainr5.o:   mainr5.c    Roteiro5.h

Roteiro5.o: Roteiro5.c  Roteiro5.h

clean:
    rm *.o

OBS: Quando eu coloco todo o código no mesmo arquivo, e simplesmente compilo ele, dá certo. Talvez o problema esteja no makefile. Alguém consegue enxergá-lo?

A: Você tem a definição no header
typedef struct vector {

    int numDePosicoes;
    double vetor[5000];

}ESTRUCT;

E o uso em main
int main(int argc,char* argv[]) {

    ESTRUCT vetor;

    //criando separadamente um ponteiro para a struct
    ESTRUCT *ponteiroPraVetor = &vetor;

E o que tem 1.c?
E

*

*numDePosicoes é int mas se é o que parece não pode ser negativo. Prefira unsigned ou size_t que existe para isso

*ESTRUCT é o nome para a struct. Nomes com todas as letras em maiúscula são em geral reservados para constantes e é o que quem for ler seu programa espera. Nomes definidos pelo usuário costumam ter a Primeira letra maiúscula apenas. Ou um prefixo tipo t_ por exemplo.

*vector é também o nome da struct e que tem um campo chamado vetor, só que ela podia ser anônima

*em main declara vetor como ESTRUCT estática e aí declara um ponteiro ponteiroPraVetor com o endereço de ... vetor
Tudo isso é MUITO confuso e frágil.
Vou deixar um exemplo do simples em C para esse seu caso e você pode comparar
A struct
typedef struct
{
    unsigned size;
    double* V;

}   Vetor;

Esse é o normal: ao invés de alocar 5.000 double toda vez, e ter um campo na struct dizendo que vai usar p. ex. 8.
E já se escrevem as funções para criar e destruir um trem desses, no estilo RAAI de C++. Isso torna a sua vida mais tranquila. O mínimo
Vetor* cria_v(unsigned);
Vetor* apaga_v(Vetor*);

E claro que vai querer ver o que tem dentro para testar então já escreve uma função que faz isso.
E claro que seria legar ter uns valores diferentes e que possa reproduzir então seria conveniente ter uma função que fizesse isso. Então escrevemos
int    mostra_v(Vetor*,unsigned,unsigned,const char*);
Vetor* fabrica_v(unsigned);

o header 1.h
typedef struct
{
    unsigned size;
    double* V;

}   Vetor;

Vetor* cria_v(unsigned);
Vetor* apaga_v(Vetor*);
int    mostra_v(Vetor*,unsigned,unsigned,const char*);
Vetor* fabrica_v(unsigned);

E um teste já podia ser
main para um teste
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "1.h"

int main(void)
{
    srand(220913);
    Vetor* tst = cria_v(5000);
    mostra_v(tst, 0, 4, "5 primeiros valores");
    tst = apaga_v(tst);
    // agora cria um vetor de teste com fabrica_v()_

    tst = fabrica_v(20);
    mostra_v(tst, 15, 19, "ultimos valores de teste");
    tst = apaga_v(tst); // apaga de novo
    return 0;
}

Que cria e apaga um vetor de 5000 e depois um de 20 com a tal função fabrica_v(). E usa mostra_v para ver o conteúdo.
Saída desse exemplo
5 primeiros valores
  [Vetor tem 5000 elementos]:
      0.00        0.00        0.00        0.00        0.00
ultimos valores de teste
  [Vetor tem 20 elementos]:
     87.25       44.76       29.88       26.44       57.38

Uma implementação de 1.c
As funções tem umas poucas linhas.

*

*Em cria_v() o's elementos do vetor são zerados, porque eu preferi

*Eu sempre uso cast para o retorno de malloc() porque conversões implícitas como essa são um risco. Antes de me lembrarem disso lembro aos vigilantes do SO que o C-FAQ é uma referência dos anos 90

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "1.h"

// cria o vetor com sz caras
Vetor* cria_v(unsigned sz)
{
    if (sz < 1) return NULL;
    Vetor* novo = (Vetor*)malloc(sizeof(Vetor));
    if (novo == NULL) return NULL; // nao alocou
    novo->size = sz;

A: Me parece que você está confundindo declaração com definição. Sempre que você quer usar alguma coisa, você precisa declará-la. Declarar significa introduzir algo para o sistema. Por exemplo:
extern int a;
typedef struct { int a;} X;
void print();

Definir significa dar um corpo para as declarações. Pode imaginar como criando um espaço em memória, onde as declarações irão viver. Por exemplo:
int a = 1;
X k;
void print() {}

As definições, normalmente, são colocadas em um arquivo .c, enquanto que as declarações, normalmente, são colocadas em um arquivo .h. Isso é necessário porque sempre que for usar uma definição, você tem que ver a declaração.
Por isso que, no seu caso, a declaração do ESTRUCT está no lugar errado. Isso não é uma definição, é uma declaração e ela deve ser vista em todos os arquivos onde se queira usá-la. Portanto, você deve declará-la em um arquivo .h e incluir esse arquivo onde está a função main que por sinal, é onde você faz uma definição ao escrever:
ESTRUCT vetor;

The Alpine Club exists to facilitate access to and exploration of the mountainous regions of the world; provide a forum for members to meet, climb and share information, both internally and with the wider mountaineering community; support mountain arts, science and literature; act as a thought leader in mountain ecology, access and sustainability; and provide a platform for international collaboration.
The Alpine Club believes that freedom of access to mountains and cliffs, exercised in a responsible manner, is a fundamental right. However, accepting that our sport carries the risk of accident and other misfortune, often in remote areas where help may not be easily available, we would not expect others to put their lives or well-being in jeopardy should mishap occur. We should also be prepared to accept restrictions if there are transparent ecological or humanitarian reasons.
Mountaineers and climbers must be responsible for their own safety, and for the safety of those, such as porters, who may accompany them. We must have respect for the cultures of those communities in whose homelands we have our adventures and for the natural environment - leaving the barest minimum trace of our passage. Provided these principles are observed, there can be no reason to place any restrictions on mountaineering, whether for political, environmental or safety reasons, however well meaning.
It is often not possible for companions or others to recover the body of a climber in the immediate aftermath of an accident, especially in the greater ranges. Recent events have highlighted the number of bodies that have been left at high altitude in more or less accessible locations. The Alpine Club is often asked to comment on this situation and has decided to issue this statement in the hope that its content will be helpful to others. In the context of ever increasing activity on the highest peaks the Alpine Club seeks to assist this important and evolving debate. It has now been adopted by the Mountain Heritage Trust.
Finding the body of a dead climber is likely to be a disturbing experience. Even though its existence and location may have been previously known, the encounter can still cause shock and distress. Most climbers respond with sensitivity and common sense. However it is not always easy to get things right when operating in an extreme environment where participants may be close to their physical and mental limits. If the companions of the deceased have not been able to recover the remains, the onus passes to the climbing fraternity as a whole. If recovery is possible, this should be done, but in other cases there may be much that can be done that will provide comfort to the dead climber's family and friends. The grief suffered by the family and friends of a climber lost in the mountains should not be underestimated. It is well established that the absence of a body makes the grieving process more difficult. This is often aggravated by the lack of detailed knowledge of the events giving rise to the accident or the location of the body. It is by establishing such information that those making the discovery can provide an important service to the family and friends as well as to the climbing community.
Establish the precise location of the body and prepare a location map.
On returning from the mountains, efforts should be made to identify the dead climber . Assistance with this process may be provided by a number of organisations and information sources particularly the American Alpine Journal and also the Himalayan Journal, the Alpine Journal and the Himalayan Index maintained by the Alpine Club. All personal effects, photographs and other information should be delivered to the family of the deceased before information is provided to the media. The Alpine Club considers that any decision to release photographs to the press should be left to the family of the deceased.
Recovering a body from a high mountain will never be easy, and extremes of altitude and location may render it near to impossible. It is important that the original tragedy should not be compounded by further loss of life, particularly among the local high altitude porters. It should also be recognised that great care will be necessary in the removal of the body, which is likely to be fragile. In many cases it will be frozen into the mountain and difficult to move. Here too, restraint and respect should be shown.
There have been many instances where bodies have been recovered, committed and buried on or near to the mountain. The Alpine Club considers that the remains should be left undisturbed, unless the family wishes them to be returned and the relevant authorities are able to co-operate. In other cases the remains are so remote and difficult of access that the prospect of successful recovery appears improbable. The Alpine Club suggests that in these circumstances it is preferable to commit and bury or cover the remains where they are. If that is not possible, they should be left at peace and undisturbed.
However there are other well documented situations where the location of a body, although remote, is frequently visited. This situation is particularly acute on the South Col route up Everest, a fact of which the international media have made much. The publication of photographs of bodies is distressing to the families, as well as to most other people and it generally discredits the mountaineering world.
The Nepalese and Chinese authorities in Tibet in co-operation with other nations have been considering forming expeditions for the express purpose of recovering climbers' bodies from Everest. The Alpine Club welcomes these proposals. The increase in mountaineering activity is likely to lead to more fatalities in the high mountains of the world, particularly on Everest and K2 where the physiological and technical challenges are at their greatest. The Alpine Club believes that the international climbing community needs to take steps to recognise and address this issue whilst giving deepest consideration to the views of the families of the deceased. Any concerted plan to deal with the issue is likely to involve professional recovery teams which will require funding. The Alpine Club invites the UIAA in association with national mountaineering federations to study the subject with a view to developing a coherent and comprehensive policy.
It is important to the family and friends and to the climbing community as a whole and mountaineering's image to the world at large that such tragic events are not sensationalised and are portrayed in a dignified, restrained and sensitive manner.
The Alpine Club supports the work of the UIAA and has adopted the UIAA Ethical code and the Kathmandu Declaration.
Protect effectively the mountain environment, its flora, its fauna and its natural resources.
Reduce the negative impact of man's activities.
Respect the cultural heritage & dignity of local populations.
Stimulate activities which restore & rehabilitate the mountains.
Encourage contacts between mountaineers of different countries, in a spirit of friendship, mutual respect & peace.
Make available all information and education necessary to improve the relationship between man and his environment.
Use only technology respecting the environment for energy needs and the disposal of waste.
Support developing mountain countries in efforts for the conservation of the environment.
Widen access to mountain regions unfettered by political considerations.
Ensure all members of the team are aware of the regulations set bythe host country, the objectives of the Kathmandu Declaration, and the UIAA ethical code for expeditions.
To adopt a sporting approach to the expeditions objectives and not to use equipment or other resources out of proportion to these objectives.
To conduct the expedition in a way which maintains the safety of its members and especially those it employs.
Whenever possible to provide technical advice and training to members of the expedition from the host country.
To give an accurate report about the expedition to the appropriate bodies.
Not to use equipment and materials owned by other expeditions without permission, and be prepared to help local people or other expeditions if the need arises.
To leave the mountain environment as clean as possible at the end of the expedition.


creative agency TBWA\ san juan proves that there is no need to explain much when it comes to mcdonald's, with a campaign that presents icons such as the big mac, happy meal and the mcfries in a blurry way against simple single-colored backgrounds. created for the fast food company's puerto rico branch, the campaign ran in social media, outdoor billboards, and print.
aiming at provoking and proving that anyone can recognize mcdonald's icons, even from far away and without its famous golden arches, TBWA\ san juan proposed a series of blurred menu items that seem to be sprayed against brightly colored backgrounds. the latest ad campaign for mcdonald's puerto rico is finished with a copy that reads 'no se diga más' ('say no more' in english), making it clear that there is no need to explain further, for people to understand what it is showing.
Perfect campaign against junk food.


Monsanto has always been a litigious company and even though the US multinational has been bought by German giant Bayer, it has left behind a legacy of lawsuits related to patents and royalty fees on its genetically modified (GM) seeds across the world, from Latin America to Asia. In India, the Monsanto brand has seldom been out of the headlines in the past few years as it fought seed companies over the trait fees or royalty payable for its GM Bt cotton. The big difference is that unlike in Latin America where, too, the US firm has been tangled in court cases over trait fees, in India governments have acted decisively to keep trait fees within reason.
Bt cotton is the only GM seed that has been allowed for commercial release in the country but it has been a vexatious issue from the start. Introduced surreptitiously to farmers in 2002, Monsanto and its Indian subsidiary very quickly ran into problems over the high prices for its transgenic Bt cotton. The prices were unaffordable for India's poor farmers and state governments were drawn into the fight against a multinational determined to extract a heavy price for its technology which has since been acknowledged a failure.
The crux of the problem was the value that Monsanto set on its Bt technology. In 2006 it was selling its cotton at Rs 1,800 for a packet of 425 gm (plus 125 gm of refugia seeds), with a whopping two-thirds of the cost being charged as trait fee. Andhra Pradesh set the trend in slashing the price of the Bt cotton seed to Rs 750 per packet with trait fee fixed at Rs 150. Although seed prices have risen over the years, the trait fee has been in continuous decline. In 2016, cotton seed was brought under price control nationally by the BJP government, thanks to pressure from fraternal organisations of the party which are opposed to multinationals in the seed sector. The trait fee was thereafter cut to Rs 49 even as Monsanto instituted a lawsuit against local seed firms that refused to pay royalty, claiming that the US company did not own a patent in India.
When Bayer finally won the case in February, it was a pyrrhic victory since the government wasted no time in slashing prices further. In March, trait fees were cut to Rs 39 sending seed companies licensed by the erstwhile US giant into a tailspin. The question that arises is to what extent innovator companies can continue to charge for an old technology.
In Latin America, its biggest market, Monsanto has been challenged on the patents and royalties for its GM soy seeds not by licencees or the government but by farmers. Brazilian growers are fighting a lawsuit to revoke the patent granted to Monsanto for its Intacta RR2 Pro soy.
They allege irregularities in the grant of patent for a technology which is far from innovative. They appear to be winning. Last year, a court ordered Bayer to deposit the royalties collected by Monsanto on this seed in an escrow account. This is a case that India should be keeping a close eye on, specially its farmers.
