Reiter Affiliated Companies (RAC) Knowledge Innovation and Grower Support specialist Jamie Lopez, at Reiter Berry Farms in Watsonville, CA, on Thursday, August 27, 2015, shares why they are working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to improve on the 30% water savings they already achieve with precision micro subsurface irrigation. The use of a Wireless Irrigation Monitoring Network (WIN) to collects data from wireless solar powered soil tensiometers, and weather field stations positioned throughout farms in three counties enable them to track soil, temperature, and humidity conditions with a cloud-based irrigation management system, to better manage watering and soil conservation efforts in more than 700 acres. They actively share their data, methods, and experiences with other producers. Better management by producers using a currently dwindling supply and quality of ground water (wells) in this county will help recharge the aquifer and prevent the migration of nearby Pacific Ocean salt water into the ground water they use. This is one of the ways growers are extending the water supply. Reiter Affiliated Companies (RAC) has been involved with family farming since 1868; is a leading fresh, multi-berry producer in the world; and a leading supplier of fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries in North America.
Wireless soil tensiometer are buried at multiple specific distances and depths from the subsurface water emitters and the root balls. The tensiometer measures how strongly the soil absorbs water. The tensiometer’s porous probe is buried into the soil and a pump pulls some air out, creating a vacuum. Water and moisture from the surrounding soil enters the probe. Low amounts of water entering the tensiometer indicate plants (and evaporation) are pulling water from the soil and may need to be watered. High levels of water entering the tensiometer indicate the plants have enough water. This information is then transmitted to a company’s cloud-based irrigation management system that makes the data available on customer’s mobile device in the field. If this data is combined with historical data and other information, it can help determine when, how long and how fast watering needs to be for best efficiency, soil health and electrical economy to improve a business’s yield and profitability. These measurements helps ensure ideal watering and for soil conservation. The farms have been using the tensiometers for 5 years. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.
Hundreds of women gather in Trafalgar Square and march to Parliament to hand in a petition calling on the government to take decisive action to better protect and support working Mums. As it's Halloween they dressed as Mummies, of the ancient dead kind, to symbolize the archaic legislation they have to endure.
The event was organised by Pregnant Then Screwed, who campaign to end pregnancy & maternity discrimination. Marches also took place at five other cities in the UK.
The government's own research shows that 54,000 women a year are pushed out of their job for getting pregnant and 77% of working mums endure negative or discriminatory treatment in the workplace. These numbers have almost doubled in the last 10 years. Motherhood is also a key contributor to the gender pay gap with women who have had children by the age of 33 earning 15 per cent less than their peers who remained childless. Women even face discrimination for simply having a womb with 40% of employers saying they would avoid hiring a woman of childbearing age.

The second weekend of May, I attended a Trans Joy event here in Madison. I wore this short denim skirt and, more suitable to the day, this comfy long-sleeve top from GC2B, a trans-owned company that specializes in gender-affirming garments.
This is an unsettling time that has seen trans people having to withstand seemingly constant backlash from those who don't care for or don't seek to understand us. That's why it's so very important that our community stand strong, and our cisgender allies stand alongside us, to help assure that our collective future will be a bright one.
(Oh, the link to GC2B's "Support Trans Futures" line is in the comments section below; please check it out.)

This picture makes me remember NID film club screening in mid-2007 - of the film, Café Lumière, which makes us appreciate little moments of everyday life...so does this picture :-)
At National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, we were shown art based movies on every Tuesdays and Thursdays. NID autitorium had its own aura, mood, reclining chairs, smell and pensive hold and will forever stay imprinted in my memories.
