Rain and Frost Slow Indiana Fieldwork and Planting Pace
Rain and Frost Slow Indiana Fieldwork and Planting Pace Facebook Twitter Home Indiana Agriculture News Rain and Frost Slow Indiana Fieldwork and Planting Pace Previous articlePurdue Sets Crop Management WorkshopsNext articleFlexibility, a Key to Successful Weed Control in 2015 Gary Truitt A cold and rainy week hindered fieldwork and slowed planting progress during the week ending April 26, according to the USDA, NASS, Great Lakes Region. Cold weather was present throughout the state slowing wheat and hay growth, and damage to fruit crops is unknown. Increased rainfall contributed to ponding in many fields that has prevented some farmers from planting and fertilizing.Regionally, winter wheat jointed was 18% complete in the North, 27% in Central, and 46% in the South. The wheat crop is beginning to make some progress throughout the state, but remains to be far behind last year. The stands that are in poor condition have been burned off, tilled under, or kept for straw. Topdressing has been completed in most regions.By region, corn was 4% planted in the North, 1% in Central, and 1% in the South. Few farmers were able to get some corn fields planted due to the cold and rainy conditions. Many fields remain to be too saturated to get planters out and there is some concern that the soil temperatures are not suitable for seed germination. Statewide 3% of the corn has been planted, up form 1% last wek, 7% last year and the average of 26% . Nationally 17% of the corn has been planted, compared to 27% for the 5 year average.Most of the fieldwork conducted this week was focused on working the ground and spreading fertilizer to be ready for a break in the weather to continue planting crops. Pastures have continued to green up, although some farmers are providing supplemental feed to livestock. Mint planting was finishing up. The wet spring has hindered sufficient burn downs, which has allowed weeds to emerge and take over fields in some areas. Other activities for the week included tilling, spreading fertilizer, fixing tiling, clearing fencerows, and preparing planting equipment. Facebook Twitter By Gary Truitt – Apr 27, 2015 SHARE SHARE
Journalists prey to violence, political crises and instability
Reporters Without Borders rallies former hostages in Paris, following the kidnapping of journalist Olivier Dubois. June 8, 2021 Find out more News Madagascar and Gabon fall, Horn sinks deeper, Zimbabwe improvesSee the 2009 world press freedom index The Horn was again the African region with the most press freedom violations. Eritrea (175th), where no independent media is tolerated and 30 journalists are in prison (as many as in China or Iran but with a much smaller population), was ranked last in the world for the third year running. Somalia (164th), which is steadily being emptied of its journalists, was the world’s deadliest country for the media, with six journalists killed between 1 January and 4 July.This year confirmed that, in some African countries, democracy rests on solid foundations and respect for freedoms is guaranteed. But in other countries, political crises and instability dealt harsh blows to the work of journalists and news media.In Madagascar (134th), which plummeted 40 places, the media were caught in a confrontation between ousted president Marc Ravalomanana and the president of the High Transition Authority, Andry Rajoelina. Censorship, violent attacks on media premises, disinformation and a young journalist’s death while covering a demonstration were the reasons for the island’s sharp fall in the index. In Gabon (129th), the media’s work was undermined by the news blackout about President Omar Bongo’s health which the authorities imposed in the run-up to his death and the poisonous climate during the presidential election in August.Congo (116th) fell 24 places in the index, mainly because of the mystery surrounding opposition journalist Bruno Jacquet Ossébi’s death and the harassment of several foreign reporters during the 12 July presidential election. The situation seemed relatively calm this year in Guinea (100th), but the 28 September bloodshed in Conakry and the open threats against journalists currently being voiced by the military are a source of deep concern.Some transitions were less damaging for press freedom. Gen. Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz’s election as president in Mauritania (100th) went ahead without any significant problem for the press even if a website editor’s imprisonment hurt the country’s image. In Guinea-Bissau (92nd), the assassinations in quick succession of the armed forces chief of staff and President Joao Bernardo Vieira caused the temporary suspension of some media and prompted some worried journalists to flee the country, but the lasting impact was limited.The countries with rampant violence continue to languish in the bottom third of the rankings. In Nigeria (135th) and Democratic Republic of Congo (146th), the practice of journalism is punctuated by physical attacks and arbitrary arrests. Two radio journalists were murdered in Bukavu, the capital of DRC’s eastern province of Sud-Kivu.Rwanda (157th) continued to fall as the authorities reinforced news control in the run-up to the 2010 elections, temporarily suspending local and international news media and sentencing journalists to jail terms. It is now almost on a par with the “African Kuwait,” Equatorial Guinea (158th), where the foreign media’s only local correspondent spent four months in jail as a result of a defamation action.Niger’s President Mamadou Tandja was in a close-run race with his Gambian counterpart, Yahya Jammeh, for West Africa’s worst ranking. It was taken in the end by Niger (139th), which fell nine places, two below Gambia (137th), which was again the victim of its president’s intolerance towards the media. This year, Jammeh sent six of the country’s most respected journalists to prison and then made insulting and provocative comments about them in public.In Zimbabwe (136th), the press seems to be in the process of freeing itself from the regime’s vice-like grip. The situation was marred by former journalist Jestina Mukoko’s abduction and then imprisonment for many weeks. But hopes have been buoyed by the new government of national unity’s announcement in the summer that the BBC and CNN would be allowed to return and that the independent Daily News would be able to resume publishing.The same group of countries lead the pack as in 2008. Ghana (27th), Mali (30th), South Africa (33rd), Namibia (35th) and Cape Verde (44th) are all among the world’s top 50. Boosted by yet another democratic election in January 2009, in which opposition candidate John Atta-Mills defeated the ruling party’s would-be successor to President John Kufuor, Ghana took Africa’s top position from Namibia, where a South African journalist spend a night in police custody before being freed on payment of two lots of bail.

Data Errors Stymie Coronavirus Data in Pasadena, L.A. County on Monday
17 recommended0 commentsShareShareTweetSharePin it Name (required) Mail (required) (not be published) Website Health officials at both the city and county levels reported far lower-than-normal new COVID-19 infections and deaths Monday, but warned that the figures were artificially low due to problems with data collection.Pasadena Health Officials listed five new infections and no new deaths, according to city spokeswoman Lisa Derderian.But she cautioned that the true figure is likely higher due to problems with the county-wide COVID-19 information collection system.“We don’t want to give a false sense of data,” Derderian said.Huntington Hospital was treating 53 people for COVID-19 on Monday, according to hospital data. Fourteen tests remained pending.The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported 2,039 new infections and 17 new deaths Monday, but added that test results were incomplete.“Public Health anticipates receiving a backlog of cases in the coming days,” the agency said in a written statement.The county’s totals stood at 176,028 known COVID-19 infections and 4,375 deaths, officials said.More than 2,000 people were hospitalized with the virus in L.A. County on Monday, with 29 percent of them in intensive-care units and 18 percent being treated on ventilators, according to the county statement. But those figures, also, were underreported, as they were missing data from five hospitals.The virus continued to spread especially among people between 18 and 49, who have represented the majority of newly reported infections since May, County health officials said.“People between the ages of 30 and 49 years old account for the largest proportion of cases and roughly the same proportion of cases as seen since May,” the statement said. “Other age groups are flat or decreasing slightly.”L.A. County’s positivity rate was 10 percent on Monday, with just under 1.65 million COVID-19 tests administered.“It has been 145 days since the COVID-19 public health emergency was declared in Los Angeles County,” L.A. County Director of Public Health Barbara Ferrer said. “These past 145 days have given us time to learn a lot more about COVID-19 — how to coexist with it as we await development of treatments and vaccines, and how to slow the spread to give our health system a fighting chance of treating those who fall seriously ill.”“We must drive compliance, containment, and collaboration efforts that will move with us into the long-term recovery that we all want to see happen as soon as possible,” she added. “There is mounting evidence that these strategies work. The task in front of us is to be able to thread the needle so that we continue with our recovery journey while protecting the health and well-being of our residents, our workforce and our community. We have to do both.”L.A. County Public Health Department officials had identified 11,481 novel coronavirus infections among health-care workers and first responders, as well as 74 deaths.“Health-care workers who are employed in skilled nursing facilities and long-term care facilities continue to make up the highest proportion of cases at 35 percent, but their percentage has been declining as the number of cases in outpatient settings rises,” the County statement said. “Nurses, including LVNs and practical nurses, continue to account for the most deaths (45 percent) and those who work in skilled nursing facilities represent the largest portion of the health-care worker deaths (65 percent).”At the state level, the California Department of Public Health reported 6,891 new infections and 29 new deaths Monday.That brought total COVID-19 cases in the state to 460,550, and total deaths to 8,445.The state’s seven-day average of new cases daily stood at 9,859, up from 8,911 the prior week, state health officials said.As of Monday, Los Angeles County represented 39 percent of all COVID-19 infections in California, and 52 percent of the state’s recorded deaths.
