Article 25 of the United Nation clearly outlines that every human being has the right to an adequate standard of living irrespective of his or her age.
However, the reality in twenty first century Jamaica is that one of the most vulnerable groups in the Jamaican society – the elderly are left to fend for themselves. This most fundamental of human rights is sadly neglected not only at a governmental level but also at the most basic unit of society – the family.
With the increase of urban migration and the demise of the traditional extended family structure in the Caribbean an ever increasing number of our elderly are being displaced. After a life time of servitude to their families, communities and nation it is an indictment upon us collectively as a country that we allow this most blatant of human rights violation to persist.
I challenge the viewer of these images and the individual reading this text to take time out of your busy routine to visit an infirmary or an elderly community member.
Sometimes all they desire is a smile or a word of encouragement or just some to say, “I care”.

Though our temperatures have risen (-15C to -9C this morning) and the sun is shining brightly today, I came across this image from back in October and thought I'd post it today. Photographed at the Reader Rock Garden, I think this is a Japanese Anemone.
This afternoon, the funeral for Sgt. Ryan Russell, an 11-year veteran of the Toronto Police Service who died in the line of duty Wednesday morning, took place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. A very powerful service for this man. I have so much respect for his widow - this brave young woman managed to stand before the many, many Police men and women and others to offer her words of thanks for all their support. Something I know I would never be able to do.

I read an interesting article on the internets this weekend written by The History Girl. She did a piece on an archaeological excavation of an historic smokehouse in Middletown Township, New Jersey. It is only about 15 miles from me on The King’s Highway. I don’t think the King of England himself ever made it over when New Jersey was a colony, but they sure named plenty of highways after him.
“According to The History Girl,” I told Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring, “This smokehouse is built into the side of a hill on the grounds of the Taylor-Butler Orchard Home. I think I’m calling a mission to visit the site.”
The next morning, Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring and I woke up Little Texas Aggie Bear very early. Of course, it was difficult to wake him up, as it was with all bears. It’s in their nature.
“Get up!” Aggie Ring yelled at the little bear. “We’ve got magic to do. I’ll make a thermos of hot tea!”
Decades of serving in the Regular Army taught Aggie Ring to always take an inventory of his equipment before heading out on a dangerous mission. Aggie Ring called out the checklist for me.
“Let’s see…” said Aggie Ring. “I’ll call out the name of the equipment and you verify.”
“Official looking photographer’s safety vest to throw off the police if we have to break and enter an historic site?”
“Check!” I replied.
“Little Aggie Bear to distract law enforcement or county employees if the vest doesn’t work.”
“Check”
“Compass?”
“Check”
“Camera tripod?”
“Check”
“Toilet paper?”
“Check”
“Collapsable light reflector?”
“Check”
“Camera tripod?”
“Check”
“Bottled water”
“Check”
“Camera, extra batteries, and lenses appropriate for the mission?”
“Check”
Aggie Ring turned to me and announced. “I think we’re good. Time to hit the beach.”
We drove the 25 km up the Garden State Parkway to the historic site. Luckily, the historic home was closed on Mondays and there was no one there to interfere with Aggie Ring’s evil plan. Texas Aggie Ring and I sent Little Texas Aggie Bear on a one-bear patrol ahead of us to make sure the area of interest was secure and to set up perimeter security.
“Don’t crap in the woods!” Aggie Ring yelled at Little Texas Aggie Bear as he was bear crawling towards the general location of the historical smokehouse. The History Girl said in her article that it was “North” of the homestead. That compass on the iPhone came in handy.
After about 10 minutes, Aggie Ring and I didn’t hear any gunfire so we decided it was safe to proceed. Shortly after we entered the heavily wooded area, I mentioned to Aggie Ring, “This reminds me of parts of Central Texas. It’s a damn good thing I’m one of those lucky people not allergic to Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy, Late at night while you're sleepin' poison Ivy comes a'creepin'
Arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound”
Aggie Ring and I continued on a North heading being careful not to step on any twigs or branches so as not to give our position away to the enemy.
Eventually, we heard, “Psssst.” It was Little Texas Aggie Bear. He had located the historic homestead smokehouse built into the side of a small hill. “I don’t think anyone is around or saw us.” he whispered.
For an historic smokehouse, it was fairly impressive. According to The History Girl, it was built here into a small hillside circa 1850. There aren’t many of those left these days. The County Historical Association recently received a grant from the 1772 Foundation and the New Jersey Historic Trust to restore the smokehouse to its former smokin’ glory.
A few days earlier, Dr. Richard Velt, a Professor of Anthropology who is also the Chair of the Department of History at nearby Monmouth University conducted some test digs to verify that the foundation of the smokehouse was stable. Texas Aggie Ring looked up Dr. Velt on the internets. “Oh bother.” sighed Texas Aggie Ring. “He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. He probably eats Philly scrapple. Still, I suppose that’s better than Trenton, NJ pork roll.”
According to the article on the internets, the foundation is stable and the Dr. Velt also discovered that there was once an underground ice house nearby where they’d store ice cut into blocks from the nearby river to have during the miserable hot summer months to make mint juleps. “Underground ice house?” asked Texas Aggie Ring. “That would be a most excellent location for my Secret Underground Lair which I could use to takeover the world.”
“Where’s the Stargate?” asked Little Texas Aggie Bear.
“Silly bear.” I chided him. “The Stargate is on the other side of the homestead. You can’t have smoke from a smokehouse blowing into a Stargate and onto another planet. That’s just plain rude and one doesn’t want uninvited aliens coming back through the Stargate expecting to be fed.”
Texas Aggie Ring and I put our two Texas A&M Engineering degrees to work and gave the historic smokehouse a good looking over. We took a sensible 100+ photos to document our dangerous mission. The structure itself appeared to be in fairly good shape considering that it most likely hasn’t been used in well over a century.
Aggie Ring said to me. “Well, the lower half of the smokehouse below the roofline appears to be in fine condition. The bricks are going to need to be repointed, of course. The roof is going to need to be totally replaced and a brickmason is going to have to conduct some serious repair along the top of the structure.”
I took a few photos of Little Texas Aggie Bear and Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring sitting upon the wall of the smokehouse strictly for historical purposes. As usual, Aggie Ring taunted the little bear by telling him, “You do know it is still legal to hunt bear in New Jersey during the hunting season. It is quite possible that besides beef and pork, the family who once owned this homestead smoked bear meat.”
Little Texas Aggie Bear let out a yelp and ran towards the car. I’ve never seen a bear so small move so quickly.

Demel is one of the most famous Viennese pastry at the carbon (cabbage) market (Kohlmarkt) 14 in the first Viennese district Innere Stadt. Demel was a k.u.k. Hofzuckerbäcker and runs this item today in public.
History
1778 came the of Wurttemberg stemming confectioner Ludwig Dehne to Vienna. 1786, he founded his pastry shot at the place of St. Michael. Dehne died in 1799 of tuberculosis. His widow then married the confectioner Gottlieb Wohlfahrt. In 1813 they bought the house in St. Michael's Square 14. Despite numerous innovations such as frozen the company's finances could not be rehabilitated. After the death of Gottlieb Wohlfahrt in 1826 the widow and her son from her first marriage August Dehne succeeded but the economic boom. August Dehne managed to great wealth, he invested in land. As the son of August Dehne struck another career as a lawyer, Dehne sold the confectionery in 1857 to his first mate Christoph Demel.
Demel also had success in the continuation of the company and established it to a Viennese institution. After the death of Christoph Demel in 1867 his sons Joseph and Charles took over the business, which is why it since "Christoph Demel 's Söhne" means. On request Demel received 1874 the Hoflieferantentitel (the titel as purveyor to the court). The proximity to the Imperial Palace directly opposite made business more profitable. The Hofburg borrowed from Demel occasionally staff and tableware for special occasions such as proms and parties. Recent developments in the art of confectionery were brought from Paris. Trained at Demel, professionals quickly found employment.
1888 Old Burgtheater was demolished at Michael's place and transformed the place. Demel had to move out of the house and he moved to the Kohlmarkt 14. The new store inside was equipped inside with high costs by purveyor to the court Portois & Fix. The interior is decorated in the style of Neo-Rococo with mahogany wood and mirrors. Regulars were members of the Viennese court as Empress Elisabeth, and other prominent members of the Vienna society of the time, the actress Katharina Schratt and Princess Pauline von Metternich. A peculiarity of Demel from the time of the monarchy is that the always female attendance, which originally was recruited from monastic students, is dressed in a black costume with a white apron. They are called Demelinerinnen and address the guest traditionally in a special "Demel German", which is a polite form of the third person plural, omitting the personal salutation and with questions such as "elected Have you?" or "want to eat?" was known.
After the death of Joseph and Carl Demel took over Carl's widow Maria in 1891 the management. She also received the k.u.k. Hoflieferantentitel. From 1911 to 1917 led Carl Demel (junior) the business and then his sister Anna Demel (4 March 1872 in Vienna - November 8, 1956 ibid ; born Siding). Under her leadership, the boxes and packaging were developed by the Wiener Werkstätte. Josef Hoffmann established in 1932 because of a contract the connection of the artist Friedrich Ludwig Berzeviczy-Pallavicini to Anna Demel. The design of the shop windows at that time was an important means of expression of the shops and there were discussions to whether they should be called visual or storefront (Seh- or Schaufenster - display window or look window). While under the Sehfenster (shop window) an informative presentation of goods was understood, the goods should be enhanced by staging the showcase. From 1933 until his emigration in 1938 took over Berzeviczy-Pallavicini the window dressing of Demel and married in 1936 Klara Demel, the adopted niece of Anna Demel.
During the Nazi regime in Austria the confectioner Demel got privileges from the district leadership because of its reputation. Baldur von Schirach and his wife took the confectioner under their personal protection, there were special allocations of gastronomic specialties from abroad in order to continue to survive. But while the two sat in the guest room and consumed cakes, provided the Demelinerinnen in a hallway between the kitchen and toilet political persecutws, so-called U-Boats. Those here were also hearing illegal radio stations and they discussed the latest news.
1952 Anna Demel was the first woman after the war to be awarded the title Kommerzialrat. She died in 1956. Klara Demel took over the management of the bakery. Berzeviczy-Pallavicini, who lived in the United States until then returned to Vienna. After Clara's death on 19 April 1965, he carried on the pastry. During his time at Demel he established the tradition to make from showpieces of the sugar and chocolate craft extravagant neo-baroque productions. Baron Berzeviczy sold the business in 1972 for economic reasons to the concealed appearing Udo Proksch, who established in 1973 in the first floor rooms for the Club 45; also Defence Minister Karl Lütgendorf had his own salon. After Proksch was arrested in 1989 in connection with the Lucona scandal, he sold Demel to the non-industry German entrepreneur Günter Wichmann. 1993 it came to insolvency. Raiffeisen Bank Vienna as principal creditor, acquired the property in 1994 from the bankrupt company to initially continue itself the traditional Viennese company through a subsidiary. In the process of the renovation in March 1995 on the fourth floor were mura painting from the 18th century exposed and the baroque courtyard covered by a glass construction which since the re-opening on 18 April 1996 can be used as Schanigarten (pavement café) or conservatory.
In 2002 the catering company Do & Co took over the Demel. The company was awarded with the "Golden Coffee Bean " of Jacobs coffee in 1999. Demel now has additional locations in Salzburg and New York.

Demel chocolate products
One of the most famous specialty of the house is " Demel's Sachertorte" . The world-famous Sachertorte was invented by Franz Sacher, but completed only in its today known form by his son Eduard Sacher while training in Demel. After a 1938 out of court enclosed process occurred after the Second World War a till 1965 during dispute between Demel and the Sacher Hotel: The hotel insisted on its naming rights, Demel, however, could pointing out already since the invention of the "Original Sacher" called pie "having used the denomination". Demel had after the death of Anna Sacher in 1930, under defined conditions, the generation and distribution rights for "Eduard-Sacher-Torte" received. The dispute was settled in favor of the Hotel Sacher and the Demelsche cake is today, "Demel 's Sachertorte" and is still made by hand. While a layer of apricot jam under the chocolate icing and another in the center of the cake can be found in the "Original Sacher-Torte", is in "Demel 's Sachertorte " the layer in the middle omitted.
Besides the Sachertorte helped another specialty the pastry to world fame: the original gingerbread figures whose modeling came from the collection of Count Johann Nepomuk Graf Wilczek on Castle Kreuzenstein. Then there are the Demel cake (almond-orange mass with blackcurrant jam, marzipan and chocolate coating), Anna Torte, Dobos cake, cake trays, Russian Punch Cake, Esterházy cake, apple strudel and other confectionary specialties. Popular with many tourists are the candied violets with which Demel earlier supplied the imperial court and they allegedly have been the Lieblingsnaschereien (favorite candies) of Empress Elisabeth ("Sisi"). Rooms in the upper floors as the Pictures Room, Gold Room and the Silver rooms are rented for events. In addition to the pastry shop Demel operates, as it did at the time of the monarchy, a catering service, after the re-opening in 1996 as well as storage, shipping and packaging was desettled in the 22nd District of Vienna. Demel is also responsible for the catering at Niki Aviation.

Nashville Irrigation Services
When it concerns sprinkling turf, lots of homeowners simply laid out a lawn sprinkler, turn it on as well as let it run for a while, presuming they are doing right by their lawns.
The truth is lots might be underwatering or overwatering their turf, which can do more injury than great. To help you give the appropriate hydration for your lawn, it’s important to sprinkle your lawn at the right time and also in the correct amount.
Lawn Types as well as Irrigation Timing
Knowing the type of yard you have can dictate just how usually you need to sprinkle your grass.
Cool-season lawns
Types: Bentgrass, bluegrasses, fescues, ryegrasses
Expanding pattern: Grow most actively in the springtime and fall. They go inactive– stop expanding– during the summertime, and afterwards once again in the wintertime.
General sprinkling guidance: They need water just every 3 weeks approximately if there’s been no rain. If you water a lot more often, you could be watering weeds instead of grass.
Warm-season grasses
Kinds: Bahiagrass, Bermudagrass, Buffalograss, Carpetgrass, Centipedegrass, St. Augustinegrass, Zoysiagrass
Expanding pattern: Expand most proactively in the summertime warm, go inactive in the chill of the fall or winter season.
General sprinkling recommendations: Some warm-season lawns, including Bermuda, Bahia and also Zoysia, are among the most drought-tolerant turfgrass varieties. Nonetheless, they still call for routine watering to preserve a healthy origin system, especially throughout their midyear high-growth period.
General Lawn Irrigation Advice
Water when the grass requires it.
Most yards require irrigation once every four to 8 days to stay healthy and balanced, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Solution, a department of the U.S. Department of Farming. Actually, the NRCS states irrigating less usually and using even more water when you do irrigate cause deeper rooted plants as well as healthier grass.
Keep an eye on the skies. When it rainfalls for several days, water much less. Successive warm, completely dry days imply water a lot more. If you’re not exactly sure if your grass needs water, the NRCS recommends this examination: If the lawn doesn’t spring back after being stepped on, it’s probably time to irrigate.
Early morning watering is best.
Early watering offers the turf time to soak up the water, sending it down right into the origins and into the grass plants themselves. That plumps up the yard blades with water, enabling them to far better endure the warm of the day. Prevent watering during the middle of the day when water evaporates rapidly. Additionally avoid watering on a windy day, which will run out the water before it can be taken in by the lawn.
Although not just as good as morning, late afternoon likewise can be a good time for sprinkling turf. You should not water in the evening, though, as remaining wetness can cause fungal illness in the grass.
During fall, as part of your normal grass care maintenance, you need to prepare your grass for the coming winter months. Per the NRCS, water with mid-September and then once again in mid-October to store moisture in the dirt.
Amount is important
When watering grass, it is necessary you do not water inadequate or way too much. Like Goldilocks’ porridge, you want it to be “perfect.” Your goal is to dampen the soil deeply. 4 inches is great, 6 inches is better. To do so, you need to use roughly 1 inch of water if you have clay-based soil. If your dirt is sandy, lower this amount to 1/2 inch of water.
Turf Watering for Different Soil Types
Clay
Sand
Loamy
Holds more water
Extremely porous
Moderately permeable
Slow to take in water
Holds water poorly
Retains moisture
Slow to launch water
Allows fast water
Ideal dirt for grass
Key recommendations: To stay clear of drainage, do not water faster than the dirt can take in; water in cycles.
Key suggestions: Water in 1/2-inch increments to fill dirt 6-8 inches deep.
Key guidance: Water as required.
Action Your Water Usage
To aid you figure out when you have actually applied 1 inch of water, put out some straight-sided containers around your lawn. Tuna cans work well. Turn on a timer and also turn on your watering system. Monitor them, as well as when they are loaded with 1 inch of water, switch off the water. Be sure to time the length of time it requires to fill the containers so you’ll know the length of time to leave the lawn sprinkler on each time you are watering grass. See “Maintain Your Grass Healthy And Balanced With a Sprinkler System Audit” for more information.
As part of your yard care regimen, check frequently for indications of overwatering. After sprinkling, stroll along your grass and also seek swimming pools of water. This is overflow– water that surpasses the quantity that can be soaked up, given the volume of water and also the duration of watering. The effects of runoff are bad. Runoff washes away fertilizer as well as newly sown seed, which adversely influences your yard, your budget and the environment.
If you experience drainage within the time frame you established would certainly supply 1 inch of water to your lawn, divide that time in half (say 15 mins rather than 30). Water your grass in 2 equivalent segments, allowing time in between for the turf to take in the water.
Overwatering additionally can dissuade origin growth in yard, which, subsequently, will deteriorate the turf, making it a lot more susceptible to tough environmental problems, condition and everyday usage, such as foot website traffic, children playing and animals running around.
Do not Panic– Your Lawn May Simply Be Dormant
Throughout summer season’s best days, your lawn might handle a tan or brown look, making it look dead. Nevertheless, numerous Northern cool-season yards undergo an inactive duration not just in winter season however also in summer months. Essentially, the lawn is pausing from growing. If your lawn is in an inactive duration, it will certainly begin to green up as temperatures cool off and after getting numerous days of rainfall.
Some varieties of yard are quicker to perk back up than others. Kentucky bluegrass, for instance, takes just three or 4 days to get up.
In case your yard does not revive under these scenarios, it most likely is too damaged to recover as well as will certainly require comprehensive like repair, and possibly change, the existing lawn.
Water Sensing Tools
As part of your grass care, there are a range of devices and also automatic systems to aid you in sprinkling grass.
Among the simplest tools is a long-bladed screwdriver. If you can not insert the screwdriver into your dirt, the dirt is extremely completely dry, as well as the lawn needs to be sprinkled. As a matter of fact, if the screwdriver slides right into the dirt easily, the yard is moisturized and also does not require water.
Fancier– though still economical– substitutes for the screwdriver are digital water sensor devices that can be found at any type of garden shop. They have long spikes that you place into the dirt, and also give you a readout of just how moist the problems are.
At the luxury are below ground sensor systems tied in with automatic sprinklers.
Sorts Of Sprinkler Equipments
Fixed Sprinkler
The fixed lawn sprinkler is straightforward as well as economical. It is a steel or plastic vessel with small holes in it that fits at the tube end. The stress of the water forced with the small openings sprays the yard. The pattern of spray is identified by the pattern of openings, the volume is controlled at the tap. To change the area of protection, you drag it around the grass.
Gear Drive Sprinkler
This sort of durable sprinkler is typically found on golf courses or other huge locations of turf where both huge volume as well as accuracy in watering is needed. Their gear-driven motion typically has several circulation controls that let you readjust the range the water is sprayed, as well as the angle as well as pressure of the spray.
Hose-end spray nozzles
These basic devices are a best seller. Inexpensive as well as versatile, they can be constructed from plastic or brass, and are commonly controlled by a handle that transforms the water on and off. The volume and pattern of spray is regulated by either turning the nozzle or via a dial attached to the nozzle.
Impact lawn sprinkler
With an influence (in some cases called impulse or pulsating) sprinkler, the splashing nozzle is rotated by the pressure of the water from the hose. Made in both plastic as well as brass; the brass effect sprinkler is more pricey however much more long lasting. Some models are affixed to the ground through a spike, others rise to end up being a tripod sprinkler
Control collars restrict the traveling of the head, and also a rocking arm repetitively inserts itself into the stream of water to both drive the head and also create an extra spray stream. The pulsating lawn sprinkler was designed in 1933 as well as marketed under the Rain Bird trademark name.
In-ground water lawn sprinkler
In-ground water as well as garden automatic sprinkler use a collection of sprinkler heads installed at dealt with places in the yard. When correctly preserved, in-ground systems give total as well as reliable coverage. The most common kind is built of a network of interconnected PVC pipelines mounted in trenches dug in the lawn. There are many different kinds of sprinkler heads to serve numerous demands. Some spray 360 levels, some simply 180 or 90 levels for sides as well as edges. Some heads appear and afterwards recede to ground degree. Preferably, your in-ground sprinkler system need to be made with “hydrozone separation” in mind. That is the concept of grouping plants with each other that have the exact same water intake practices. Your yard would certainly get on one area, your parched decorative plants on a 2nd and drought-resistant plants on a third. That way you can adjust your spray time as well as pattern to make sure that all the plants in the area more than happy.
Oscillating lawn sprinkler
At its simplest, the oscillating lawn sprinkler has a steel or plastic bar with openings pierced in it. Water appears the holes as bench rocks backward and forward as well as sprinkles the lawn with a mild spray. You control the size of the area at the resource, by readjusting the water volume at the tap. Great for reasonably small, rectangular lawns.
More-advanced designs such as the turbo oscillating lawn sprinkler allow greater control of the watering pattern as well as spray volume.
Traveling sprinkler.
As its name suggests, traveling sprinklers have wheels that let them move with the lawn, dragging the pipe behind them. Outstanding for irregularly shaped grass.
Other irrigation tools to consider
Circulation control meter
This gadget is installed between the tap and your hose pipe, as well as keep an eye on the quantity of water that undergoes. Some include an automatic shutoff control that stops wasteful overwatering.
Automatic timer
An automatic timer shuts off the water at a marked time. Some versions are hose-end, others are constructed right into in-ground lawn sprinkler to manage the timing of each section of the irrigation system.
Smart irrigation controller
Your phone is now wise. Watches, thermostats and doors, as well. So it’s not a surprise that lawn sprinkler controllers have climbed onto the smart bandwagon. Rather than relying upon a repaired timer, they make use of either Wi-fi or GSM cellular connection to get plant information as well as weather forecasts.
A smart controller will certainly sprinkle lawn according to environmental conditions such as evapotranspiration (water consumed by lawn) price and amount of soil moisture. Furthermore, make certain the system includes a shut-off button that cuts off the sprinklers while it’s raining.
To maintain them functioning effectively, automatic irrigation systems ought to be checked and investigated every a couple of years by a professional to guarantee it’s functioning properly as well as supplying the correct amount of water to your grass.
Basic Yard Treatment Makes Watering Easier
Good yard treatment techniques generate a healthy and balanced lawn which requires less water, and also retains what you give it.
Appropriate mowing height: Maintaining lawn to the appropriate mowing elevation for your grass types will certainly advertise deep origins and drought-resistant lawns. Taller lawn also helps reduce evaporation. Furthermore, recently reduced grass blades shed water quickly.
Leave the clippings: To assist preserve moisture in your lawn, do not get rid of yard trimmings after trimming the lawn. These act as a natural mulch that serves two purposes. Initially, mulch is a natural plant food, returning valuable nutrients to the turf. Second, throughout the period it considers the turf trimmings to break down and return to the soil, it will certainly serve as an obstacle that slows dissipation, avoiding the origins from drying also quick.
Feed when asked for: Also, as part of your yard care routine, effectively fertilizing grass can promote deep roots as well as drought tolerance.
Grass ranges will vary in their fertilizer needs, but as a whole:
Cool-season lawns: Fertilize at least two times, in spring and also loss.
Warm-season lawns: Fertilize every 4-8 weeks during the energetic midyear expanding period.
Nonetheless, do not use plant food when the yard is completely dry since it will additionally draw dampness from the grass.
Freshen: To assist lawns take a breath as well as drink in water as well as nutrients, freshen it– get rid of cores of dirt– on a regular basis every year. For cool-season grasses, the most effective time to freshen remains in the loss or springtime. For warm-season yards, the best time is in early summertime.
If essential, dethatch: Over time, your yard will certainly collect little bits and items of lawn as well as leaf particles into an interwoven mass called thatch, which can build up on your grass. A particular amount of thatch is both unpreventable and also helpful for lawns. It provides a questionable room for helpful pests, holds wetness and also is the place where trimmings and also various other organic material break down and return important nutrients to the dirt.
Nonetheless, if it gathers and also does not appear to be breaking down, it can create an obstacle, protecting against water and air from getting to the origin system. When that happens, it should be gotten rid of to help advertise a healthy and balanced lawn.
When doing so, Nashville Landscaping recommends limiting thatch removal to very early springtime or fall. If you power rake lawns in late spring or summer, they will need too much irrigation to remain alive.
Appropriately watering grass is among the important parts in keeping a healthy and balanced lawn. By executing a good watering as well as yard treatment routine, you’ll have a beautiful grass you can appreciate year-round.

James "Jimmy" Stoddart Gifford, first defence, 21 years, 150 pounds; playing senior since 1905. By the time the professional game came along in 1909, Gifford had already earnt the reputation for being one of the hardest and toughest players to take to the field. During the professional era his heated rivalry with ‘Newsy’ Lalonde of the Vancouver Lacrosse Club was legendary, nasty, and relentless. Even in old age Gifford continued to hold a grudge and could not bear being in the presence of Lalonde – even refusing to attend his hall-of-fame induction because Lalonde would also be there receiving the same honour, over 50 years passing since their last bloody battles had been fought.

Charles Welsh was a sportsman with membership in the Vancouver Golf and country Club. His main sporting interest was however in lacrosse, where he was on the Board of B.C. Lacrosse Association, was a trustee of the Minto Cup, and was involved with the New Westminster Salmonbellies for many years, with his highlight coming as manager in 1908 when his team won the Minto Cup.

New Westminster Salmonbellies travelled to Montreal for a challenge match. They beat the Montreal Shamrocks for its first Minto Cup (then given to the top senior team in Canada).
1908 was a pivotal year in the history of the Minto Cup when the New Westminster Salmonbellies defeated the Montréal Shamrocks 12 to 7 in their two-game, total-goals series. The first game of the series was a close 6-5 result before the Salmonbellies responded with a commanding 6-2 win in the rematch to clinch the silverware.

With the benefit of hindsight, the 1908 New Westminster-Montréal series signaled a changing of the guard and is probably the most historically significant event in the cup’s history until the juniors took over control of the mug. It saw the game’s first dynasty coming to an end with a brand-new one at the opposite end of the country ready to take its place. The victory for the Royal City was notable for two other important reasons: the New Westminster Salmonbellies were the last bonafide amateur team to challenge and win the professional trophy as well as the first club from the Pacific Coast to pry the silver mug from the hands of the Easterners.

- the photographer - Frederick Louis Hacking
(b. 2 July 1880 in Ontario, Canada - d. 20 February 1969 at age 88 in Monterey, California, USA)
He started as a photo printer with the Wadds Brothers, then purchased S.J. Thompson's former New Westminster studio and by 1908 was running his own Vancouver studio at 445 Granville St. in the Fairfield Block. His landscape photographs attacted notice at the 1899 New Westminster exhibition.
The Daily News-Advertiser described his Vancouver studio when it opened in the Fairfield Block (Building) in 1908. Hacking, who was the official representative from BC at the Photographers' Association of the Pacific Northwest 1910 conference in Vancouver, was also elected vice-president for BC that year.
He later immigrated to California and registered for the US World War Two draft in 1942.
VANCOUVER STUDIO (FAIRFIELD BUILDING) DESCRIPTION:
This description of F.L. Hacking's new photo studio was published by the (Vancouver) Daily News-Advertiser on 14 Aug 1908, p. 15. The article was illustrated with three photographs depicting the "Reception Room", the "Skylight Room" and "Another View of Reception Room."
"An Artistic Studio.
A member of the "News-Advertiser" staff visited the new photographic studio of Mr. F.L. Hacking in the Fairfield Building, Granville Street, where for weeks past contractors and decorators have been transforming several suites of rooms and offices into what is now recognized as the most complete and artistic studio in the Province.
On entering the reception room, one is immediately impressed by the beautiful and quaint appearance of the apartment, which is furnished in the early English style. Amongst the many special features one's attention is drawn to the beautiful panelled walls, enriched with copper nailing, the unique fire grate and the casement windows and doors, whilst four heavy clusters of drop lights, suspended from the beamed ceilings--all designed and made especially for this studio--give the room a pleasing and uncommon appearance.
The delightful color scheme, from the rich rug on the floor to the delicate harmony of walls and ceilings, tends to show to advantage the specimens of artistic portraiture displayed, and gives visitors that feeling of repose and satisfaction that assures them that their own work could not be entrusted to better hands.
Leading from the reception room through a massive archway are the dressing rooms, each fitted with long pier mirrors and furnished in the same good taste.
The skylight room, one of the most important features of Mr. Hacking's business, has been constructed to give lighting facilities which will enable photographs to be taken at all reasonable times and under all conditions. The room is large and not encumbered with a hetreogeneous [sic] mass of painfully artificial scenery and paraphernalia; instead you see instruments and accessories of the best lenses by Dallmeyer, of London, England, and Goerz, of Berlin; camera by Anthony, of New York, and the necessary backgrounds are a revelation of simplicity and rich value, all painted especially by Packard, of Boston.
Nearly every modern equipment known to photography may be found in this up-to-date studio. The developing and finishing rooms are complete in every detail, giving this studio advantages for promptly executing work, a desideratum of no small importance, and one that will be immediately appreciated.
As a capable photographer, Mr. Hacking needs but little introduction in Vancouver. He was apprenticed when a young man in a leading Eastern studio, where high ideals and careful workmanship were early acquired. Eleven years ago he came to Vancouver and after eight years connected with Wadds Brothers' studio purchased the studio in New Westminster formerly conducted by Mr. S.J. Thompson. His artistic work brought immediate success that has necessitated branching out into the broader fields of opportunity offered in Vancouver.
Not being satisfied with anything but the best location and equipment, he finally secured the present quarters in the Fairfield building, the heart of the best district, which our readers are heartily commended to visit and inspect.
Mr. Hacking aptly says that "the aim and purpose of this studio is to turn out only high grade photographs, and the best that experience, artistic training, perfect equipment and skilled workmanship can produce is offered to its patrons."

Unemployment Troubles Kashmiri Minds.Please read this Article carefully....

Distric, Ganderbal, Kashmir
— When My friend finished his P,G+BED study, he was full of hope for the future. Today, the unemployed, poverty-stricken young Kashmiri suffers from depression and thinks of nothing but ending his miserablelife.
"To me, unemployment is much worse than death," say MUDASIR RASHID , who is about to turn 28-years-old.
"I am not able to feed my father who managed to educate me despite his poverty," he laments tearfully.
Like thousands of unemployed youths in Kashmir, ME too, finish my PG +BED degree , has given up on hopes to get a state job.
"I have been trying to get a government job over the past five years but I failed."
The long years of dependence on his aging impoverished parents has led him to severe depression.
"I am the eldest son of my parents and I have to shoulder them at least now as they got old," me said in apainful voice.
I, applied to every single job across over the years, but in vain.
"I am now turning old and I see no chance of getting employed."
Last month 05/ FEB 2013 , the Jammu and Kashmir government say,s that we appoint at least 80,000 youth.s but all in vain, they also say thest words because of there vote bank
I read one important book, that Dr. Iqbal-ul-Zaman a retired physician, says depression is now a common mental disorder among the youth, citing unemployment as the main cause.
"Over the past two decades, about 76% percent of the patients come suffering from unemployment stress,"
"It is a colossal problem. Patients with multiple psychiatric disorders have been coming to us for treatment."
Iqbal-ul-Zaman warns that unemployment does not only put Kashmiris under the yoke of depression but also affects their family life.
"I have seen family breakups and breakdowns due to depression among the youth."
Many young Kashmiris are turning suicidal or violent as they reel under the stress.
"Youth have lost self-control and they overreact to any kind of situation," said a local doctor in Srinagar, Kashmir’s summer capital.
the cases of committing suicide by hanging, stabbing and jumping into rivers have increased dramatically and they are linked to unemployment.
According to News records, about 40% unemployed youth attempted to commit suicide, and more of them succeeded, in 2013.
Other depressed youth escape to drugs.
"Sometimes abuse of drugs, like anti-depressants, can also lead to death,
"In such cases, one cannot be sure whether the death was accidental or intentional."
A survey by the Kashmir chapter of Action Aid International last month showed that nearly half of the unemployed youth use drugs to overcome stress and depression.
"I do smoke and even some times goes river sind namely Wayil bridge to take fresh air to ease the tension,iam helpless and hopeless
"How long will I remain dependent on my father? what is my fault please tell me....

Venice...floods about 100 times a year, beginning in October and running through late winter. I'm attaching an excellent article from Rick Steves's website that explains this, and also adding my personal observations and discussions with locals.
First, Steves's article, "Is Venice Sinking?":
www.ricksteves.com/watch-read-listen/read/articles/is-ven...
I spend three days and four nights in Venice in December 2019 (whence come these pictures). On two of the three days, high tide made it challenging to get around.
For those of you who have been to Venice, you know the main part of the city ("downtown," if you can call it that) is made up of 118 islands connected by over 400 (416, I think?) bridges and bisected by the Grand Canal. It's a maze. Even with Google maps, it's literally a maze, because not every bridge takes you easily from one island to another. Some are dead ends, etc. This is when it's dry.
Now, add the extra layer of rising tides that cut off even more avenues of the maze and it's an absolute headache getting around.
All of these pictures were taken as I tried (and failed) to walk across the island from Piazza San Marco on the south to the northern end of the island -- Cannaregio -- where my apartment was.
In dry conditions, this is about a 30 minute walk if you're good at navigating the maze. On this afternoon, I made it about 80% of the way back with no viable routes to walk the last 5 (well, certainly less than 10) minutes. My choices were either wait until the tide rolled out (1-2 hours) or pay a water taxi to take me. I couldn't wait and ended up paying an exorbitant fee of 60 euros to a taxi (from the train station) to take me on what would have been a 20 minute walk from there. Ouch.
Once I got back, I asked my friend Alexia whether this is normal, if it's global warming, bad luck, or what?
I was curious about whether it was normal as most of the Venetians seem prepared for this. Many had on knee high or thigh high rubber/plastic boats and slowly made their way through.
She told me that it's very normal in November, but not so much in December. It's not that the tides aren't normal (they happen every day, of course). It's the height of them.
Last month, in November 2019, I recall reading an article about Venice flooding with pictures that surprised me. On the day in question, the tide rose to 187 cm. (For those in the west, that's only 2 inches shorter than NBA star Steph Curry or, for those who know me...it's my exact height.) I'm not exactly short, by comparison, so that's a pretty tall change for a few hours.
In the pictures you see here, the tide was 120 cm./4 feet. That's certainly enough to flood the island.
Venice's quick solution to this is to throw up elevated wooden platforms as temporary sidewalks. In the main areas -- St. Mark's Square, specifically -- think of all the tourists you would normally have bottlenecked and you can imagine the slight headache of free motion. Before the tides (when it's dry), you see these supports and wooden slats stacked up and may wonder what they're purpose is. Tides more than answer that.
The following day, the city flooded again. As I was walking from my apartment to the southern end of the island to go to a museum, I got to the Grand Canal near Rialto Bridge and found myself at an impassable point...that was right in front of a gondola service. (I think I could have backtracked and made it, but no guarantee.)
I hadn't actually been on a gondola before and -- they're expensive, by the way...especially for a solo traveler (80 euro for about 30 minutes) -- decided to take one because it's Venice and if you're ever going to ride a gondola, it should be here.
The gondolier took me from just south of the Rialto Bridge up the Grand Canal just past the Rialto Market, and back. All in all, not very far (and I didn't check time, but I doubt it was 30 minutes).
However, we got to talking. I asked how the flooding impacts tourism and business and he says there are far fewer tourists now who are simply scared of floods. (The attached Rick Steves article points out why you may not need to worry much.)
The gondolier said that the tide on Sunday reached 125 cm (4'2"), though it didn't seem nearly as high as the previous day. I did actually walk across half the island reasonably easily, so I was thinking he's probably toning down the reality a little because it affects his livelihood. However...just a little. The things he said that I believe are that, "When the tide reaches 140 cm., this is a bit too much for the city to handle."
He also told me some facts about the city that have nothing to do with the flooding, yet I found interesting: There are 50,000 residents on the main islands and an apartment/house of 90 square meters (900 square feet) runs about 400,000 euros. So if you're in the market to move to Venice for the joy of wading through water, that's the cost of it.
After the gondola ride, I ended up hopping on a vaporetto (city bus, but on the water). They run up and down the Grand Canal. (You can see a "stop" in some of my Snapshots of Venice pictures; it's a little enclosed building with yellow trim around the top of it.)
Normally, vaporettos run 7.50 euro for a ticket valid for 75 minutes. They come by every 15 minutes or so. However, I never saw where to buy tickets so ended up taking a handful of vaporetto rides for free. I think three in total.
This particular one took me from next to the gondola service down to Accademia. The Gallerie dell'Accademia is there (lots of Tintoretto, Titian, Tiepolo, Bosch), directly in front of the Ponte dell'Accademia. For my purposes, the Guggenheim Collection is also here, but about a five minute walk on dry land to get there.
However, it was isolated by the tides and I ended up taking off shoes and socks, rolling up my pants, and wading through some bitingly cold (but not dangerously so) water to get there. All told, it was probably about 100 yards at most in water that was just over ankle deep. But, you still have to walk it slowly. Afterwards, I think it took my feet about 10 minutes to regain normal warmth/sensation. (Fortunately, after an hour in the museum -- which was nice, but not as nice as I had hoped -- the tide had receded enough that I didn't have to wade out. The sidewalk was still completely underwater, but only an inch or two by this point, which you can walk through. You tend to see locals walking through water like this balancing on their heels and keeping their toes in the air.
Am I personally satisfied that Venice isn't sinking? No. The Steves article does mention Italy's long-term solution to this, but I don't buy it. I don't know what the future holds, though, and won't be around to see the worst effects of it, I feel. I can say that the city's future is tenuous at the moment, but the present...is fine, if sometimes slightly inconvenient.
My photo of De Anza Cove in Mission Bay is being used for an article in this month's issue of OurCity San Diego.
Two weeks ago, Tunisia's ruling Islamist Ennahda party proposed that a controversial article be included in the new constitution. "Article 28," as it is known, states that "the state guarantees to protect women's rights, as they stand, under the principle of man's complement within the family and man's partner in developing the country." In protest against the article's use of the word "complement", demonstrations were held in the capital city of Tunis, as well as a number of other cities across the country.

-thing disagreeable in her countenance, but her eyes forever closed, create a deficiency of expression. Her complexion is fair; her smile gentle and sweet, though of rare occurrence; and her person somewhat bent, when sitting, from her habits of fixed attention to her work. Many strangers have waited for a long time to see her thread her needle, which is quite a mysterious process, and never accomplished without the aid of the tongue. You will perceive nothing striking or attractive in her exterior, though her life of patience, industry, and contentment, had traced correspondent lines upon her features and deportment.
My dear children, it will be difficult for you to gain a correct idea of a person perfectly blind, deaf, and dumb, even after repeatedly beholding her. Cover your eyes for a short time, and you shit out this world of beauty. Close your ears, and you exclude this world of sound. Refrain from speaking, and you cease to hold communion with the world of intelligence. Yet were it in your power to continue thus for hours, even for days, you still have within your minds a treasury of knowledge to which she can never resort. You cannot picture to yourself, the utter desolation of one, whose limited acquirements are made at the expense of such toil, and with the hazard of such continual error. Never, therefore, forget to be grateful for the talents with which you are endowed. For every new idea which you add to the mental storehouse, praise Him who gives you with unveiled senses to taste the luxury of knowledge.
When the smile of your parents and companions makes your heart glad, or when you look at the bright flowers and fair skies of summer, think with compassion of her, who must never see the face of her fellow creatures, or the beauty of earth and sky. When you hear the melody of music, or the kind voice of your teachers, Oh! Strive to value and improve your privileges; and while you pour forth all the emotions of your souls in the varieties of language, forget not a prayer of pity for her, who dwells in perpetual silence, a prayer of gratitude to Him, who hath caused you to differ from her.

An article from the Horncastle News dated May 7th 1992, the garage celebrating sixty years of trading.
According to the article, the garage started on the opposite side of the road, possibly where the Shell site in the present day.
Sadly back in 2020 Clarkes Garage (now opposite the Shell site) closed due to retirement, this spent over a quarter of a century as a Rix branded petrol station before being demolished.
In the present day the site is still bare, rumours that planning permission for an Aldi supermarket and petrol station were given the go ahead but still no activity on the site.
I've added the 2014 GSV image, this also shows a Rix tanker making a delivery.
