GOP Identity Crisis
Note: This column has been revised since its original posting.
WASHINGTON — The great drama in American politics today revolves around the question: What is the Republican Party?
We think we know. Republicans are the party of business and of evangelical Christians, of better-off voters and people who hate taxes, the party of conservatism and the South, the party that wants to be aggressive in the war on terror.
But the instability in the Republican presidential campaign, the longing for a Fred Thompson candidacy, and the sharp split over immigration all point to an identity crisis at the end of the Bush era.
The last great redefinition of Republicanism, kicked off in 1964 with Barry Goldwater’s nomination, was resolved with Ronald Reagan’s election in 1980. Republicans bled liberals and embraced conservatism.
President Bush’s goal to turn this alignment into a long-term majority was, at first, advanced by the public’s reaction to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Bush’s trump card, like Reagan’s, was the assertion that Republicans were smarter and tougher on foreign policy than Democrats.
But the failure in Iraq has turned the party’s trump card into a joker at the very moment when the war has become the defining characteristic of the Bush presidency.
Largely forgotten are compassionate conservatism, Bush’s early emphasis on education reform, even his close identification with Americans who are both conservative and religious.
The most surprising finding of a Pew Research Center poll released earlier this month is that only 44 percent of white Evangelical Protestants approved of Bush’s handling of his job, down from a peak of 95 percent in October 2001.
Rudy Giuliani has managed to stay on top in the Republican polls, despite his relative social liberalism, largely because Bush has imprinted national security as the Republicans’ defining issue. Giuliani’s entire campaign has rested on the tough image he cultivated in the weeks after 9/11.
But since the beginning of the year, Giuliani’s support has dropped from the 35 percent to 40 percent range to about 25 percent among Republican voters. There is good reason to believe he will slip further. The Pew survey, for example, found that only 43 percent of Republicans identified him as the party’s pro-choice candidate. As awareness of his position among anti-abortion Republicans goes up, his support could go down. More importantly, the exhaustion with Bush, and Bush’s close association with the war on terrorism, could make national security less of a voting issue as the year goes on. If the security constituency shrinks, so will support for Giuliani.
Thompson has emerged as the back-to-the-future candidate on whom many Republicans seem ready to project all their aspirations. His supporters are the core of the old Goldwater-Reagan fan club. The Pew survey suggested that voters well disposed toward Thompson are more likely to attend church than Giuliani sympathizers, be somewhat more conservative, older, better educated and overwhelmingly male. A recent Washington Post/ABC News survey indicated that Thompson is especially strong in the South.
This makes Thompson a particular threat to Mitt Romney, who has used heavy spending to push himself to the top in the Iowa and New Hampshire polls and had hoped to be the sole candidate of the conservative restoration. The flow of the contest has left John McCain in the worst of all possible positions: He is closely identified with Bush in support of an unpopular war and of an immigration bill despised by the party’s base.
All this has won McCain well-deserved courage points in his old press constituency, but few new enthusiasts among Republicans. No wonder McCain’s campaign this week, looking for an opening somewhere, went after Romney’s flip-flopping on abortion.
With the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showing Americans giving the Republican Party “their most negative assessment” in the survey’s two-decade history, the party’s presidential contest has become a battle of unhappy warriors.
This disaffection explains the pure rage in many parts of the party over immigration. By highlighting the failure of border enforcement, the battle has given rank-and-file Republicans an acceptable channel for venting against the administration’s incompetence. It has also become the focus of Republican doubts about Bush-style internationalism and, especially for less affluent Republicans, a means for expressing legitimate economic and cultural anxieties.
This could be the new Republican Party in the making: a disappointed, dissatisfied and inward-looking coalition that abandons Reagan’s hopefulness and tries to hang on by playing on fears of terrorism and anger about immigration. If Fred Thompson’s job is to restore optimism to a dispirited bunch, he faces a task that might have overwhelmed even Ronald Reagan.

Follow a patient behind the scenes via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Dr. Paul Wigoda’s Painless Breast Implant Blog as she documents her way from the initial consultation to painless breast augmentation surgery. Get an inside look at questions and concerns that come with plastic surgery from a real patient through the whole process.
Fort Lauderdale, FL – July 19, 2010 – Face-to-face consultation or Facebook-to-Facebook? Each year over 350,000 women have breast augmentation surgery in the U.S., and Board-certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Paul Wigoda is giving potential patients the chance to go behind the scenes of one woman’s painless breast augmentation experience.
Follow Dr. Wigoda’s patient, Lisa, through the entire process of consultations, initial check-ups, her surgery day and post-op results as she shares her thoughts, experiences and insight on Dr. Wigoda’s South Florida Plastic Surgery and Beauty Blog, Twitter @drwigoda, Facebook and YouTube.
“I don’t hate my body, I actually have always kind of liked it and my small B bra size,” Lisa shared in her first painless breast implant blog post. “But after going through my pregnancy and seeing what I could possibly look like a size bigger, I’ve been a little hooked on bigger breasts. Dr. Wigoda’s painless breast implant procedure is exactly what I’m looking for.”
Get answers to many of the typical question Dr. Wigoda faces about the not-so-typical painless breast implant surgery he has perfected over the years at The Aesthetics Institute.
Dr. Wigoda uses over a decade of South Florida plastic surgery experience to blend the methods of other respected cosmetic surgeons, perfect his own technique and match the correct incision, implant and procedure to every individual patient.
For some women, breast augmentation surgery is an easy decision. For others, the idea of elective surgery, the physical side effects, and potential risks make the decision more difficult. Dr. Wigoda and Lisa take you through the process from start to finish.

Technology journalist Bill Bennett muses in a post from a year ago titled “Let them (NZ government workers) use Chromebooks” about the potential cost savings and productivity gains to theoretically be had from deploying the Google office productivity stack for NZ government workers. Some excerpts:
“Put aside for a moment the security risks and the NZ$2 million paid to Microsoft for extra [Windows XP] support… One solution would be to write off all the existing computers and replace them with Chromebooks… There would be immediate savings. Chromebooks can’t run Microsoft Office. Government departments can shift to Google Apps… Getting all government employees and applications into the cloud means there will never again be a situation like 40,000 computers using out of date software.”
The security risks and $2 million dollar figure can be viewed as part of the exit cost of adopting the Microsoft platform to begin with. 13 years ago there may have been a reasonable case for Windows XP being an adequate desktop solution, which is clearly no longer the case in 2015. However, suggesting that NZ government trades one proprietary ecosystem (Microsoft) for one even more closed is not an advance at all. From a technology perspective, Google Apps for instance is completely welded shut – with a non-standard and entirely Google-secret document format at its core.
Yes, there’s a strong case to be made for the combined benefits of moving computing services off the Microsoft desktop platform and onto a Linux-based OS (Chrome OS is but one example, Ubuntu is another), replacing full desktop computers with thin clients, and adopting cloud-hosted applications. However, I would seriously question the wisdom of government migrating to a platform so tightly controlled by a single vendor – not to mention one that derives ~90 percent of its total global revenue from advertising, or that has a long track record of startlingly short product lifespans. It would drastically curtail competitive supplier choice, and in the case of Google Apps (and to an extent Chrome OS), eliminate the freedom to self-host the technology in-house or via a third party as and when the situation or requirement arises.
The $2 million dollar figure for Microsoft’s extended Windows XP support might well pale in comparison to migrating off a proprietary, cloud-only solution 13 years from now. The point being, any serious discussion must take into account exit costs, and not simply the superficial low cost of entry, be it Office 365, Chrome OS, Chromebooks, and so forth. This is an aspect Bill Bennett’s article omits, much like most other opinion pieces on the matter.
Apropos of this, in the time since the source article was written, the reasons for the UK government mandating ODF for document interchange (to the detriment of both Microsoft and Google) makes for worthwhile reading.

Behaviour of UHPFRCs in compression under high stress-rates
DynaMat Laboratory, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland,
* Corresponding author : firstname.lastname@example.org
Published online: 7 September 2018
The paper presents the results obtained on cylindrical Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete specimens with diameter of 30mm and a height of 60mm under compression at high stress rate (1.7–2.3 TPa/s). Four different percentages of fibre reinforcement are considered (1, 2, 3, and 4% fibre content) and compared with the results of the matrix (UHPC). A slight reduction of the strength and fracture time with the introduction of fibres is observed. The experimental results are analysed and discussed with the intent to better understand the mechanical behaviour of UHPFRC materials in case of dynamic event under service loading conditions.

6.8 SPC AR-15 Carbines: The Stag Arms 5L Gets the Nod
Shooting the stout midrange cartridge, the heavily-tricked-out Stag outdueled carbines from DPMS and Rock River, both of which had feeding problems that made them into single-shots.
The AR-15 platform is booming not only in total unit sales but also in aftermarket accessories such as buttstocks, hand guards, sights, you name it. Perhaps even more significant is the availability of ARs chambered for calibers other than .223 Remington—the greatest indication that shooters like something is that they’re willing to tinker with it.
In this test we will evaluate three such carbines with 16-inch barrels chambered for 6.8mm SPC ammunition. All three of these models were flat-top designs featuring a Picatinny rail atop the receiver. They were the $1114 DPMS AP4 Panther Carbine that came with a $124 JP Enterprises trigger upgrade; the $925 RRA LAR-6.8 Mid-Length A4 from Rock River Arms, and a left hand (left-side ejection) 5L from Stag Arms. The base price of a Stag Arms 5L was $1095, but our Stag was customized with several options that added nearly $1000 to the retail list price.
Would these features give the Stag an unfair advantage when compared to the Rock River and DPMS products? We think the answer is no, and here is why. Given the modular design of the basic platform, every feature found on the customized Stag 5L could also be applied to our other test samples as well as any other AR, carbine or rifle. Therefore, we felt that we would be able to isolate the benefit of a given modification and render judgment on the basic weapon. For example, if the compensator on the Stag were to help us get better hits, we still might prefer one of the other carbines but recommend the application of said compensator.
The 6.8 SPC presents a bullet that is about 0.27 inches in diameter typically weighing 110 to 115 grains. The difference in overall cartridge size between 6.8 SPC and .223 Remington ammunition does not appear to be major. But 6.8 SPC magazines of the same length as 30-round .223 magazines hold five rounds fewer. Our test ammunition was Remington’s 115-grain Express Rifle OTM and two rounds from Hornady Manufacturing. They were the 110-grain V-Max Varmint Express and 115-grain BTHP/WC Custom loads.
Our first encounter with a 6.8 SPC carbine was reported in the November 2008 issue of Gun Tests. This was Ruger’s handy Mini 14. Now we had a chance to see if this caliber was better suited to the AR-15. We began our tests by mounting a Nikon Monarch 2-8X32mm BDC scope No. 8438. This was a 1-inch-tube scope with four circles below the crosshairs for instant holdover. We liked the Monarch’s range of power and its clear field of vision. We could have chosen this same model with the Nikoplex reticle instead of the BDC circles for $10 less, (catalog number 8437), but we were curious to see if the reticle really worked. We mounted the scope utilizing a Yankee Hill Machine scope riser and a pair of B-Square Tactical Tri-rings ($74 from brownells.com). We think the addition of Nikon target turrets enhanced function as well as visual appeal. For collecting accuracy data from the 100-yard line we traveled west from downtown Houston to American Shooting Centers located in George Bush Park (amshootcenters.com). Our first step was to zero each carbine at the 50-yard bench. We blended in a break-in regimen of cleaning the barrel every five shots for the first 25 rounds. A fouling shot was fired after each cleaning. Then we moved to the 100-yard line to readjust our point of impact and record the width of five-shot groups, measuring the holes widest apart from center to center. We also planned a 200-yard firing session utilizing the first holdover circle and a rapid-fire test. Here is what we learned.

Can we pretend for a while
That the lamppost above is the moon
And the little bugs fireflies that light up the night?
Can we imagine this dull road
Is a worn dirt path leading to adventure
That we will be the first to conquer?
As the darkness falls over a gray sky,
Let us talk beneath a galaxy full of stars,
And as the voices of others echo toward us,
Let us whisper to each other under the song of the breeze.
If your mind is on other things,
Let us break away from this world of small sorrows,
And lose ourselves in the vastness of the mountains
In the roaring of the seas;
And before the sand runs out
Let’s just pretend for a while
That we don’t have to leave…

New ARC Advisory Group research on the industrial 5G market reveals that the technology is gaining rapid momentum in the global industrial market.
DEDHAM, MASSACHUSETTS, US, October 22, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — New ARC Advisory Group research on the industrial 5G market reveals that 5G technology is still evolving, with new features added with each new specification release. This new emerging market analysis report focuses on the market for private 5G and LTE/4G networks for industrial users. As more tangible use cases are deployed, awareness and knowledge of 5G are gaining momentum rapidly in the global industrial market.
“While speed and bandwidth gains are a well-recognized benefit of 5G, other technology services such as network slicing, mobile edge computing, and low latency are not yet widely appreciated. This is largely because enterprises are still performing test trials and standalone 5G is not yet widely available. Most of the key benefits for enterprises won’t be realized until private, standalone 5G is deployed. This is not likely to happen until late 2022 when industrial-grade chipsets and a wide range of 5G-compatible end devices become commercially available,” according to Naresh K. Surepelly, Senior Analyst at ARC Advisory Group and key author of ARC’s Industrial 5G Global Emerging Market Research report.
“Private 5G networks offer operators and vendors great business opportunities to expand their revenue streams in the industrial sector. Driven by the convergence of operational technology (OT), information technology (IT), and networks, enterprises in industrial domains are looking for a higher level of wireless network performance to automate and digitize their operations,” according to David W. Humphrey, Research Director at ARC Advisory Group and co-author of ARC’s Industrial 5G Global Emerging Market Research report.
ABOUT THE INDUSTRIAL 5G MARKET RESEARCH
This ARC research explores current market performance and related technology and business trends, identifies leading technology suppliers, and provides five-year global and regional forecasts for the industrial 5G emerging market. The report covers both private LTE/4G and 5G networks. This new research is based on ARC’s industry-leading market research database, extensive primary and secondary research, and proprietary economic modelling techniques. The research includes current market size, plus five-year market forecasts by major regions, network type, and hardware, software, and services.
This new research is available as a concise market analysis report (PDF) that provides an executive-level summary of the current market dynamics, market forecasts, and competitive analysis, plus an overview of strategic issues.

Asian Dub Foundation was founded in 1993 with the intention of the fusion of musical styles. Ever since the release of their first album Facts and Fiction in 1996, the collective – a label that fits them more snugly than group- has been constantly evolving towards ever more ambitious projects, from giving rabble-rousing performances and drawing attention to sensitive issues, to adding new layers to its alloy of sounds.
Although Asian Dub Foundation’s early output failed to grab their public’s imagination, the midi warriors, as they call themselves, later generated widespread enthusiasm.
With the inaugural sound system line-up including bassist and teacher Dr Das, DJ and civil rights activist, Pandit G, and Deedar Zaman, a brilliant MC from a London music school, Asian Dub Foundation established the building blocks of its cross-cultural identity in 1993. Soon joined by guitarist Chandrasonic and programming prodigy Sun J, the group moved from playing at anti-racist gigs to becoming major challengers on a British music scene still gripped by Britpop fever.
ADF’s members were all born in England to immigrant parents and share an open-minded approach to musical culture, from the latest electronic vibes and traditional Eastern sounds, to rebellious rhythms of punk rock and hip hop that express their everyday struggle for respect and tolerance.
Their charisma and social conscience have won praise from a whole host of major names in the music industry: ADF toured with Primal Scream after the release of their second album R.A.F.I. (1997), before being invited to provide the warm-up act at a David Bowie concert. The campaign for the release of Satpal Ram, an immigrant worker convicted of murder after defending himself from a racist attack, thrust them into the spotlight.
ADF was asked to perform at the Fuki Rock Festival in Japan, where the group has always enjoyed an enthusiastic reception, before hitting the road with the Beastie Boys. After the release of their third album, Community Music (1999), the group was joined by drummer Rocky Singh and Pritpal Rajput (who plays the Dohl, a traditional Panjabi drum), securing their reputation for high energy live stage performances.
Struck by the social message of La Haine, Mathieu Kassovitz’s film about the lives of three teenagers in the Paris suburbs (Ghotika), ADF re-wrote the soundtrack, which they performed live at screenings of the film. Their most moving performance was on 31 March 2001 at the Barbican in London when Satpal Ram, released just the day before, joined the band on stage.
When Deedar decided to call it a day, ADF invited two MCs (Aktar and Spex), graduates of the same music school as them, to join them on their latest adventure: the recording of their fourth album Enemy of the Enemy (2003). Heavily influenced by world events – the opening of Europe’s borders and September 11 ? the album also portrays the production skills of one of the pioneers of British dub, Adrian Sherwood, boss of the On-U Sound label. The album also featured an unexpected guest artist, Sinead O’Connor, who tackles the issue of domestic violence on the track 1,000 Mirrors. Radiohead guitarist Ed O?Brien cut in on the sessions and the two groups teamed up for a landmark European tour. ADF also joined French activist Jose Bove at an anti-globalization rally in the Larzac region of southern France, in August 2003. Keep Bangin’ on the Walls, their highly-charged live performance, was released in the heat of the moment as a CD and a DVD.
Reluctant to stick to the distinctive sound that had made their name, ADF chose to reinvent itself by inviting a number of new members to join the team. Ghetto Priest, an artist on the On-U Sound label, was the first to arrive on the scene, infusing the tracks on Tank with a whole new flavor. Priest’s steady flow recalls the great Jamaican vocalist Horace Andy, a stark contrast with the more hip-hop inclined Spex. By hooking up with Ben Watkins (composer of the soundtracks for the Matrix trilogy and member of Juno Reactor) and Adam Wren (Leftfield?s sound engineer), ADF has steered a more electronic course as revealed by the irresistible dance rhythm of the first track, Fly Over. It sums up ADF?s calling to make music that gets the mind and body moving by raising awareness on the dance floor.
As the title suggests, Tank is an album created in a world at war. Oil makes a stark reference to the economic interests at stake for the countries involved, Take Back the Power is an attack on the abuse of power by dictators, Warring Dohl focuses on the situation in Pakistan and Bangladesh, while The Round Up sounds a particularly grim warning: “When you hear the marching drum/You know your time soon come”. As in their previous albums, the lyrics are shot through with meaning, while the album’s enormous energy prevents it from sliding into dogma. ADF remains first and foremost a musical laboratory overflowing with ideas, drawing on sophisticated programming, deep bass sounds and searing riffs to create its one-of-a-kind kick.
The collective reveals once more that it is open to new sounds: Mad Mike from the Detroit Underground Resistance (founded with Jeff Mills), another great name in the realm of integrity, collaborated on Powerlines while Tomorrow Begins Today takes an original reggae stance. Melody 7, the album?s closing instrumental piece, recalls the group?s work on the soundtrack for La Haine, which they have taken up again with La Bataille d’Alger, a film banned in France on its release in 1965 because of its political stance. And it’s still hot stuff: the Pentagon viewed the film in 2003 as part of its fight against rebel groups in Iraq.
After a number of performances in England and just finishing the recording of Tank, ADF plunged head first into a new project. The English National Theatre commissioned the collective to compose and perform an opera on the life of Libyan leader Colonel Gadaffi. The project posed a new challenge for which this inventive and ambitious group are particularly well suited.

“Lauresta” offers 3 types of roller steel grilles:
Microperforated grilles CLARA are made from patented steel stripes that are exceptional for their especially think and dense micro perforation. Grilles of this type of steel are ideal for all sorts of storefronts, as the tiny holes in the grilles make them 44 percent transparent, leaving the storefront visible. Furthermore, galvanised steel grilles CLARA can be matched to any type of storefront thanks to being manufactured from powder coated 100 mm wide stripes that can be painted to any colour of the RAL colour palette.
Roller steel grilles CLARA also have exceptional technical parameters that make them advantageous over aluminium roller grilles. The latter are limited to 7 metres in width, while roller steel grilles can be wider than 12.5 metres. This demonstrates their durable structure. These grilles are also much safer than aluminium grilles for they do not have any big spaces that can be used by burglars. From a mechanical perspective, roller steel grilles are also much more reliable: in contrast to aluminium roller grilles, roller steel grilles are much more consistent on the sides and can therefore operate easier with less hiccups.
In any case, the heart of any type of grilles is their motor. “Lauresta” uses only reliable electric motors with an integrated emergency brake and manual opening handle. These motors comply with all European safety and quality standards. To guarantee optimal quality, each one of our motors sold is individually tested. Though, of course, manual methods of grille control are also available.

Local Food All Year Round
Operating a four-season farm may seem like a strange career choice for a chef and graphic designer, but for the Browers, it was the perfect fit.
“Farming requires people to be so many things. It’s not just one career,” said Mary Brower. “You don’t have to only know about how to grow food and grow it well, but you also have to market it. So we bring our sensibilities in as cooks, graphic designers, business people, community organizers and farmers. This field is a really worthy occupation that has endless opportunities for growth.”
Pictured: Mary and Aaron Brower, shown here with their young son Peter, own and operate Blue Stem Farm—a four-season operation that offers 30 varieties of vegetables in the warmer season and 20 varieties in the winter. The farm is also home to pasture-raised chickens and pigs and 60 fruit and nut trees.
Mary and Aaron Brower spent their 20s and half of their 30s following a somewhat nomadic lifestyle, travelling and working in farms across the globe from Russia to Northern England. It was during this time that they not only learned about farming itself, but the possibility of having locally grown food in cold climates. Most of the Browers apprenticeship work on farms was in colder climates; in fact, Mary met Aaron at a farm in Juneau, Alaska.
These opportunities not only taught the Browers about farming, but also opened their eyes to the possibility of having year-round local food in cooler climates. In rural Russia, Mary said that local farming is not a trend, but an essential aspect of survival.
“The system of food distribution in rural places in Russia is so broken and dysfunctional that people need to rely on what they grow themselves to a large extent,” said Mary. She described the Russian citizens as extraordinarily self-reliant, with most using storage crops to feed themselves throughout the winter months.
After the birth of their first child, Peter, Mary and Aaron decided to purchase a farm—now Blue Stem Farm—in Northern Michigan, close to Aaron’s parents. With this farm purchase, they brought their belief that local food should be available during all four seasons.
“We believe that’s really important, especially in a place like northern Lower Michigan where it can be winter six months out of the year easily,” said Mary. “That a place like this can and should do more to be able to feed itself through the winter, not just in the glorious summers.” Blue Stem Farm is a diversified farm offering more than 30 varieties of vegetables in the warmer season (June to November) and 20 varieties in the winter. Soon to be a certified organic farm, the winter produce includes beets, carrots, spinach and hardy greens. These vegetables are heated in two (soon to be three) passive hoop houses whose primary heat source is solar. The winter is where the Browers strongly believe in the importance of integrating storage crops and protein from their animals. The farm is also home to pasture-raised chickens and pigs and 60 fruit and nut trees.
The animals not only serve as a food source, but also help with both pest and crop management. The chickens are used to forage what will become next year’s garden, which Mary says break up the life cycles of common pests and leaves behind fertile soil. After the squash and corn harvest, the pigs are put directly in the field to harvest the leftovers, which helps to prepare the ground for a late fall cover crop.
“We use crop rotation and integrated pest management to control pests. It’s a very diversified farm; it’s not like we’re growing just corn and that corn has to make it,” said Mary. “So if the tomatoes get wiped out with blight because we decided not to spray copper on them, then that’s sad, but that probably also means that we had a good cucumber year.”
Part of their decision to restrain from chemical use was for the health of their own children. The farm is not only the family’s livelihood, but also an opportunity to connect their children with the life cycle. Both children—Peter, age 3, and Nora, 6 months—are involved in the entire process, from attending farmers markets to observing their parents farm.
“They’re very much integrated into all this,” said Mary. “It is a big part of our decision to do this as a life. We wanted to be with our kids; we wanted to have them by our sides, learning with us.”
At the young age of 3, Peter is not only able to catch a moving chicken, but able to identify when plants, such as beans, are ready to harvest.
Connecting with community
Their CSA members have become an essential part of this process, so they receive special benefits from vegetables not available at the farmers markets to CSA appreciation parties. Passionate about food preservations, the Browers divide their bumper crops amongst their CSA members, where they receive instructions (either through demonstrations or written material) on how to preserve them.
In addition to the farm, Mary is a writer for the local food magazine, Edible Grande Traverse, where she offers both recipes and an insider look into Blue Stem Farm. The Browers continue to foster their farming education through the local organization, Institute for Sustainable Living, Art and Natural Design. Here, Mary has taken classes on how to plant berries, learned about growing Shitake mushrooms and even about raising bees. Mary also acts as their communications coordinator, writing press releases, website copy and filling up the event calendar.
One of their recent ventures was becoming part of the charitable initiative, Hoophouses for Health. Funded by the Michigan Farmers Association, Blue Stem Farm receives a loan to construct a hoophouse that is paid back by donating the produce grown to families in need. These families also receive the nutritional education on how to prepare what may be unfamiliar produce, something that Mary hopes to become a part of.
“In choosing to make a life out of farming, Aaron and I picked the one trade we felt we had the most to learn from,” said Mary. “Farming has a way of ever offering us something new to study and the endless potential for building strength through community. We can’t think of a more wonderful life to provide a growing family.” GT

The answer would be 5 and 11/12.
Here's an explanation if you need to know:
So, 1st, you find a common denominator. So 4 and 6, common denominator is 12 because they both can go into 12. Then, you multiply the 3 (numerator of 3/4) by 3 and get 9/4. Remember: Put the 6 in front also! It's important. Then multiply 2 times 5, which = 10. So write down 10/12. Look at the problem. Can 6 and 9/12 minus 10/12? Nope, there can't be a negative answer. Now, you have to change the 6 (whole number) to a 5 and 12 + 9, which equals 21. You don't change the 10/12, so you minus 5 and 21/12 - 10/12, which equals 5 and 11/12.
Lots of typing..for me. Geesh. Okay, so hope that helped.
Good luck with the problem and I hope you understand it! :)

And I know people often complain about how many endings the film seems to have. Personally I was ok with that, because I never wanted to say goodbye to any of them. I never wanted to leave Middle Earth.
It was also recognized by the Academy as the Best Film of the year, but personally, I think like a lot of the fans, we see the Oscar as recognition for the work, the effort and the love that Peter Jackson and his fantastic cast and crew put into the gargantuan task of bringing JRR Tolkien’s beloved story to life.
As with the previous installments, I had to be there opening night, December 19, 2003, and spent a good portion of that weekend in the same seat as my companions changed on either side of me.
I really didn’t want to leave Middle Earth.
And after two epic films, this third one, brilliantly finished up the series, every one of the characters had more than a fair share of moments, Howard Shore’s score soared making souls cheer and hearts weep.
I love how the beginning of the film sees most of the heroes, but for Sam (Sean Astin) and Frodo (Elijah Wood), back together, and celebrating the victory at Helm’s Deep, knowing that this us the last moments of joy they may have together.
As epic as the first two films were, the third chapter just seems to blow the others completely out of the water, everything we’ve seen up to this moment has been nothing but prologue for everything that happens in this film, and it is still stunning.
I often forget how much I love it, until I sit and watch it, letting my heart soar with Howard Shore’s incredible score.
And it was because of John Noble’s performance as Denethor, the Steward of Gondor, in this film that I couldn’t watch him in Fringe for the longest time. He so completely became that character I could no longer separate the actor from the art. (Eventually though I was able to , and now quite enjoy Fringe).
This of all the films, speaks to me of loyalty and friendship… when Aragorn and company are standing a the Black Gate calling on Sauron, and Aragorn (Viggo Mortenson) leads the charge, looking over his shoulder to quietly call to his friends… “For Frodo.” Chokes me up every time.
Course Sam’s line “I can’t carry it for you… but I can carry you!” My throat tightens just thinking about it.
The battle may be about fighting for all the people of Middle Earth and saving it from Sauron, but in the end it’s about fighting for those standing next to you, the people you’d be willing to die for. Your friends.
Perhaps that is why for the last quarter of the film, tears tend to be really close. Which is one of the reasons I was ok with the ‘multiple endings’, like I said, I didn’t want to leave…
This film also contains one of my favorite shots, it’s just a quiet moment, with one of my favorite characters, Gandalf (Ian McKellen) – after the attack on Pelennor fields, and the White Wizard is sitting alone in the courtyard. It speaks of pain, loneliness and the weight of war and decision.
I’ll be the first one to admit though that Legolas (Orlando Bloom) surfing the Mumakil is a bit much.
For all that, it remains a truly great film, still taking me in, holding my attention, engrossing me in the same manner those films that shaped me as a child did and still do.
I know The Hobbit is going to be lighter fare, it’s just that kind of story, but I long to see The Shire again, to spend time in Bag End, to see Mirkwood, Beorn, and Smaug.
Will it be in the same level as these films? No, I don’t think it possibly could be, I do expect to enjoy it though.
I also can’t wait to hear what Howard Shore has cooked up musically for the adventures of Bilbo Baggins.
The Lord of he Rings film trilogy shaped a huge part of my life, and as I said a couple of days ago in my post about Fellowship, these films brought to life Middle Earth almost exactly how I saw it in my mind’s eye. It was as if someone, Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens had poured the visual images of my mind onto the screen, and scored it with one of my most favorite scores ever (that wasnt penned by John Williams).
And as much as I would love to be more of an Aragorn, I’m definitely more of a Hobbit, content to wander about in bare feet, and enjoy the grass under my toes, to revel in the sun and friendship, and I do like a good meal…
“The road goes ever on and on, down from the door where it began…” and even if I’ve treaded some of those paths before, I can wait to rewalk them again.
My favorite book, made a beautiful series of films, and soon enough, I will be revisiting the lands I love (and I just reread my copy of The Hobbit as well).
What were your favorite moments in the Lord of the Rings? What are you looking forward to most with The Hobbit?

Some policemen who struck a deal with a group of oil thieves have been apprehended in Lagos State.
The five policemen are now being discretely interrogated after the bubble burst.
More than N6 million has been traced to their bank accounts.
However, it is believed that the money is more than what has so far been discovered.
The men were picked up by the Officer-in-Charge of Anti-Vandalism, Assistant Commissioner of Police Friday Ibadin.
They were taken to Kamselem Police Command, Obalende, for further interrogation.
Although the men tried to deny the allegation, some of the suspected oil thieves they had been dealing with presented banks’ tellers used in lodging money into the accounts of the policemen.
When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, said it was outside his purview.
According to Nwosu, it was a case of Anti-Vandalism.
But Ibadin denied the report.
He said: “It is not true.
“No policeman was arrested over anything like that.
“Yes, I was at the command and as a policeman I can go to the command for other reasons.
“It was, however, not to arrest any policeman as you said.
“In fact, I went there to look for a policeman, but he was not even around.
“So I left.
“Somebody is feeding you lies.
“Believe me I’m not lying to you.”
But investigation showed that the policemen in questions are two inspectors, two sergeants and a corporal.
One of the sergeants was identified as Alaba Adegoke.
But the names of the other policemen are not known yet.
The arrested policemen are said to be among those in the command that drive the most expensive cars.
One of them is also alleged to be building two houses simultaneously.
Nobody knows how long they had been dealing in oil bunkering, but some of the bank tellers presented by the oil thieves showed that over N6 million had been paid into Adegoke’s account.
Once the vandals paid the money into Adegoke’s account, he in turn would share and disburse it to the other four.
The men had been having a tea party until their arrest.
It was also learnt that the five policemen started the illicit business after they arrested some suspected oil thieves, while they were on illegal duty at Ogijo area of Ikorodu in Lagos State.
The policemen recovered about 450 jerry-cans of 50 litres, filled with fuel, from the vandals.
They took the jerry-cans to Apapa Wharf area, where they sold them and pocketed the money.
They threatened the vandals with prison and later struck a deal with them.
A police source said: “They threatened the vandals with jail.
“They later reached an agreement with the vandals.
“They said they would not jail or arrest the vandals if they agree to be sharing whatever they made from oil bunkering with them at ratio 50:50.”
Apparently, the deal had been going on until their arrest.
They were tricked and lured into the police trap two weeks ago by the same vandals they had been dealing with.
According to another police source, Ibadin and his men arrested some vandals at Ogijo. The chairman of the vandals was furious over the arrest of some of his men and rushed to confront the police.
Fuming, the chairman reportedly railed at the policemen: “Why are you arresting us?
“Have we not been paying the police as agreed?”
It was a confrontation that quickly ignited Ibadin’s interest.
The chairman was arrested and after intense interrogation, he named the policemen.
The chairman believed that the money was being distributed to all the policemen, especially those in the anti-vandal section.
The chairman also said he believed Adegoke and his partners used to ‘settle’ Ibadin as the OC Anti-Vandal.
Determined to catch the policemen, Ibadin asked the chairman to call Adegoke.
In his presence, the chairman called Adegoke and told him about new deal with another set of oil thieves.
Without thinking twice, Adegoke rushed to meet the vandals at the agreed venue.
He walked into the waiting handcuffs of Ibadin and his men.
Adegoke was the first to be arrested.
Ibadin took him to the Police Command, where his colleagues were arrested.

While seemingly irrelevant to on a regular basis driving, the continued competitors between Tesla and Porsche over EV efficiency supremacy is rapidly demonstrating that fossil sports activities automobiles have gotten out of date — an necessary symbolic milestone for the EV revolution which may have repercussions in greater quantity segments. If Porsche desires its Taycan to maintain tempo with the Tesla Mannequin S Plaid, Porsche should enable it to outperform the corporate’s present flagship Panamera combustion sedan. And that can solely spotlight the inferiority of fossil autos.
While lap instances across the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit have little obvious relevance to most folk, they’re exactly the central foreign money that Porsche itself makes use of to point out off the desirability and superiority of its sports activities automobiles. Sadly for Porsche, the Tesla Mannequin S Plaid prototype’s current casual lap time of seven:23 soundly beat out the Taycan’s 7:42 lap time — which Porsche had beforehand proudly highlighted as “class main” in the Taycan’s pre-launch marketing.
Even adjusting the lap instances to even out the results of unequal tire choices, the Tesla continues to be already round 10 seconds forward of the Taycan — a major margin for such autos on this circuit. There’s more likely to be additional embarrassment for Porsche coming, since subsequent month Tesla will goal a potential 7:05 lap time (possible utilizing race tires). Even when they fall quick and find yourself round 7:15, that also interprets right into a 7:25 lap time when equalizing for tires, beating all Four-door combustion automobiles. It will nonetheless be round 17 seconds forward of the Taycan’s greatest time.
Knowledge from our monitor exams signifies that Mannequin S Plaid can obtain 7:20 on the Nürburgring.
With some enhancements, 7:05 could also be potential when Mannequin S returns subsequent month.
— Tesla (@Tesla) September 19, 2019
Porsche has lengthy been thought to be the world’s main efficiency automobile model, significantly taking into consideration manufacturing volumes (Ferrari and different efficiency manufacturers are minnows by quantity). Porsche has additionally unambiguously marketed the upcoming Taycan because the definitive efficiency sports activities EV of the second (with a value lag possible a lot greater than even the “Plaid” Mannequin S). Porsche will really feel compelled to reply to Tesla’s problem. However how one can reply?
Upsetting the Pecking Order
The Taycan’s pricing inside the Porsche lineup locations it fractionally beneath that of the fastest-on-track Four-door flagship Panamera, a combustion engined mannequin. It’s $150,900 for the Taycan Turbo vs. $153,000 for the Panamera Turbo. The Taycan Turbo has barely higher acceleration than the Panamera to 60 mph (three.zero vs three.Four seconds), and extra energy (459 vs 410 kW), although decrease prime pace (161 vs 190 mph).
The Taycan’s Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time labored out to be Four seconds slower than the Panamera (7:42 vs 7:38). This will likely have been greater than a cheerful coincidence. With these respective lap instances, within the eyes of Porsche’s advertising division, every thing traces up properly: the Panamera is fractionally dearer, however carries barely greater foreign money when it comes to monitor efficiency than the Taycan. This association preserves the supremacy of combustion autos in Porsche’s household hierarchy.
The Taycan slots in simply behind the Panamera, while fulfilling its most necessary design transient — providing the very best efficiency chops of any EV available on the market.
Effectively, every thing was lined up properly. Tesla’s Mannequin S Plaid prototype now disrupts this tidy association. It has already stolen the Nürburgring monitor efficiency crown from the Taycan — the foreign money that Porsche itself selected to focus on its model’s distinctive strengths.
Porsche’s Existential Dilemma — Can Porsche Already Enable its EV to Outperform its Fossils?
Closing the possible 15+ second hole with the Mannequin S Plaid won’t be simple for the Taycan. However even when it doesn’t get all the best way there, it may possibly nearly actually be boosted sufficient to get a lap time beneath the Panamera Turbos’s 7:38 time.
However there’s the rub — Tesla’s ordinary insistence on squeezing as a lot as it may possibly out of EV powertrains has created an existential dilemma for Porsche — can this storied sports activities automobile maker actually enable its very first full EV, the Taycan, to already carry out at a stage the place it outcompetes the dearer combustion king, the Panamera?
Put extra bluntly — can Porsche afford to confess that the very first era of its EV know-how is already superior in efficiency to the top sedan showcasing its combustion engine know-how, a automobile representing its greatest efforts after a long time upon a long time of engine growth and billions of euros spent on that focus?
What message would that ship — fossils are already turning into out of date?
What impression would this have on the gross sales of Porsche’s combustion autos total?
Heads Tesla Wins, Tails Fossils Lose
The efficiency competitors between Tesla and Porsche appears on the face of it to be an train in impracticality, however there’s much more to it than that.
There’s a well-known previous aphorism in motorsport — “win on Sunday, promote on Monday.” The concept emerged within the mid-20th century, and remains the case today.
One of the vital extensively broadcast (and/or distributed) TV exhibits of all time was the basic BBC present “Prime Gear,” which centered round efficiency autos doing impractical issues. It was proven in 214 different countries at its peak recognition.
Symbols and markers of “efficiency” — be they fancy wheels and low-profile tires, wings and diffusers, large-bore exhaust pipes, or in any other case — are seen at nearly each tier of the auto market at present, usually even on in any other case unpretentious financial system autos. Symbolism, status, and emotionality, past concerns of pure economics or practicality, are inherent aspects of the worldwide auto market. Simply watch a number of promoting movies from the principle automakers (from nearly any decade) to remind your self of this actuality.
In brief, efficiency chops on the prime of the market rapidly trickle down and play an outsized function shaping the autos that folks really really feel excited to purchase, even when solely through oblique standing associations and symbolism, effectively past purely sensible concerns. The locus of pleasure is now shifting to electrical autos.
We’re now on the level the place numerous automakers, past Tesla and different pioneers, are beginning to enter the EV fray in growing visibility. Simply on account of physics mixed with the place the know-how is at present, all EVs usually supply extra compelling efficiency than their combustion engined friends. It’s because of this that the subsequent era of supercars and hypercars — from the likes of Lotus, Nio, Pagani, Pininfarina, Rimac, in addition to Tesla itself — are going to be totally electrical autos.
The inherent efficiency benefits of EVs imply that Porsche now has two fundamental decisions. Both rapidly iterate on its EV powertrain to maintain tempo with Tesla’s choices, or concede its efficiency crown to the California upstart, and danger shedding a long time of hard-won credibility.
If selecting the latter course, Porsche would even perhaps danger having its first EV effort be perceived or described as a reasonable fail (inside purpose — the Taycan is already implausible in comparison with most autos). This is able to be the “Heads Tesla wins” final result.
If Porsche, nonetheless, was to take the primary choice — and rapidly reply over the approaching months by growing its EV powertrain efficiency — this may even trigger issues. It’s going to rapidly reveal that Porsche’s fossil autos are poor worth by comparability. That is “Tails Fossils lose.”
A Answer — Shortly Implement Extra EV Powertrains
There’s one other path that Porsche might really feel it’s sensible to pursue (and certainly there are indications that the corporate is heading on this course). Porsche could possibly increase the Taycan to maintain “shut sufficient” in efficiency to the Tesla Mannequin S Plaid with a purpose to keep kudos, and emphasize the general bundle and dealing with in addition to the legendary construct high quality, to spherical out the providing and entice prospects who recognize these traits of the model.
To keep away from fallout from the repercussions of Taycan’s superior efficiency over its fossil lineup when taking this path, Porsche might work quick to keep up the efficiency pecking order inside its wider household. Porsche might obtain this by rapidly providing a excessive performing totally electrical (BEV) powertrain choice, or a minimum of a extra electric-biased plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain choice, for the Panamera. This must preserve total efficiency roughly on par with the Taycan (a minimum of), however emphasize the higher house and Gran-Turismo ranges of consolation of the Panamera.
The present combustion-biased PHEV powertrain of the Panamera simply received’t be capable of scale to this elevated efficiency stage while sustaining authorized emissions limits over its full gross sales lifespan. Combustion entails emissions — there’s no method round that truth. If Porsche doesn’t go full BEV for the Panamera, it should implement a brand new PHEV powertrain with a lot higher emphasis on electrical motor energy (ideally a minimum of 45:55 — electrical:combustion — related proportions to the 919 hybrid race automobile).
The Cayenne SUV might readily observe swimsuit with the identical renewed powertrain because the above Panamera setup, as the 2 have historically shared powertrains.
The highest-selling Macan would profit from its personal (appropriately scaled) model of the identical powertrain. Being on the lowest efficiency stage of the household hierarchy, it might sound the Macan can escape this pressing reshuffling of efficiency. However with out such a PHEV (or higher, full BEV) powertrain, the Macan won’t be able to compete successfully with the upcoming Mannequin Y Efficiency variant.
Porsche has beforehand hinted that it’s planning a full BEV powertrain for the Macan for the 2022 timeframe. It could be sensible to carry this ahead by a yr or two if in any respect potential (a minimum of as an non-compulsory variant in modest volumes).
The 911 and 718 mannequin traces — emphasizing compact kind and lightness — may arguably have a number of years of combustion powertrain, or PHEV, remaining. Providing a PHEV choice with modest batteries but highly effective electrical motors (just like the 919 hybrid) can be intermediate step in direction of eventual full BEV choices right here.
Porsche is now underneath important stress to squeeze extra efficiency from its BEV powertrain to maintain the Taycan aggressive with the Tesla Mannequin S Plaid. Porsche has the engineering functionality to take action, however taking this path runs the chance of upsetting the efficiency pecking order of its present mannequin hierarchy. Specifically, there’s the undesirable aspect impact that the Taycan will outshine the efficiency of the dearer Panamera combustion sibling.
One of the best answer to this may possible be to carry ahead stronger electrification efforts for the Panamera (and by implication, its powertrain sharing sibling, the Cayenne). BEV can be preferable, however an electric-biased PHEV powertrain (totally different from the Panamera’s present PHEV variants) could also be extra sensible within the quick time period, given the timescale. If that’s the trail taken, it is sensible for the Macan to observe this pattern additionally, and supply its personal PHEV or full BEV variant. That is the one method the Macan can compete successfully with the upcoming Tesla Mannequin Y Efficiency.
Extra broadly, now we have lastly reached the purpose of full BEV efficiency automobiles vying for place towards one another through speedy enhancements. As they jostle and push one another forwards, with loads of headroom to enhance at lightening quick charges, the fallout lands on the venerable combustion engine, which leads to an untenable place, far behind. Fossil fueled autos are not the place the thrill is.
The one technique to successfully compete with performance-leading BEV powertrains is … with ever higher BEV powertrains (or at minimal with superior PHEV powertrains, within the quick time period). It will inevitably solely widen the efficiency hole between EVs and conventional combustion autos. And — within the eyes of observers — speed up the combustion engine’s obsolescence.
This unambiguous ascendancy of EVs over fossil automobiles on the efficiency finish of the market will thus have repercussions all over to mass market autos.
Which path will Porsche take to reply to Tesla? Please share your ideas and observations within the feedback.
