News | Oct 27 — Ukrainian sisters who escaped to Incline Village from their home  country following Russia’s invasion were recently honored by a local club with a handmade quilt in blues and yellows to represent their nation The Bee Inclined Quilters donated the quilt to do something to support what the Ukrainian people are going through “All of the members were so moved by the recent events in the Ukraine that we wanted to do something in support of the strife that the Ukrainian people are experiencing even if it was just a small token on a local level,” said Marlene Sheff and decided to gift a quilt that we hand made utilizing the national colors of the Ukranians flag – blue and yellow/gold because under Marshall Law and their father could be drafted to the army had been sponsored by a local Incline Village family through the Humanity for Ukraine program,” she continued had worked in Incline Village in 2016 on a JV1 program.” including Nancy Cline who handmade two holiday ornaments in blue and gold for the sisters Karyna is 26 and was teaching English to adults at an ESL class in the Ukraine She has a Masters Degree and a driver’s license just graduated in June with a degree in computer science and arrived in Incline Village in August The sisters can remain in the US for approximately two years Karyna works full time at Pet Network and Ilona works part-time at Jiffy’s Pizza Bee Inclined Quilters purpose is to promote the art of quilting and giving back to the community. Over the last 18 years, the club has donated hundreds of comfort quilts to many different organizations and communities. The quilters meet the third Thursday of each month at the Incline Village Library Community Room.For more information, contact Valerie Kuchulis at 510-853-9119 or veekuch22@gmail.com Readers around the Lake Tahoe Basin and beyond make the Tahoe Tribune's work possible Your financial contribution supports our efforts to deliver quality your support is critical to help us keep our community informed about the evolving coronavirus pandemic and the impact it is having locally Your donation will help us continue to cover COVID-19 and our other vital local news Sign up for daily and breaking news headlines Manage Subscriptions Israel Defense Forces (IDF) failed to reach the original goals it set for recruiting ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) soldiers and has reduced the recruitment targets to almost the bare minimum radio station Kan Reshet Bet reported Monday during the first trimester (starting in July) 18 draft-eligible individuals are under arrest orders 1,394 "Order 12" notices (indicating non-cooperation and exit restrictions from Israel) were issued but only 367 recruits showed up (about 5%) 446 "Order 12" notices were issued 5,000 additional draft notices are expected to be sent The data shows that out of 10,000 notices sent (first + second trimester) 2,491 individuals are now under arrest orders 184 "Order 12" notices were issued (starting sanctions and travel restrictions) the IDF addressed the recruitment figures and stated that the numbers are significantly lower than desired relative to planning and operational needs It was described as a "disappointment in light of the small number of ultra-Orthodox recruits." The recruitment targets are set according to the operational needs of the IDF After realizing there weren't enough recruits with the expectation that only about 40–50 soldiers will actually enlist The Hasmonean Brigade was established to train ultra-Orthodox soldiers for combat while maintaining their religious identity A security source stated: "The brigade exists they haven't even filled a single company There are only about 40 soldiers recruited so far They lowered the recruitment targets for the brigade to match the reality on the ground." The same situation applies to other units: In the "Netzah Yehuda" battalion (Nahal Haredi) the target was reduced from 140 recruits to 120 A security source said: "This was the minimal operational need defined It was also revealed that the IDF halted recruitment into the Border Police (MAGAV) for this cycle despite having established an ultra-Orthodox company there Candidates slated for MAGAV were told they would be reassigned elsewhere due to IDF manpower needs "The army sets targets and a week before the draft adjusts them after finding it cannot recruit enough Haredi soldiers," the source said A military source stated that Haredi enlistment is disappointing:The IDF is currently short 7,500 regular combat soldiers and an additional 12,000 combat support personnel new armored battalions and an engineering battalion were established a new mixed-gender battalion will be set up in the Home Front Command A religious female combat unit was created in the Field Intelligence Corps and there are plans to establish three more such units in the Home Front Command and Ground Forces Command meeting the army’s needs would require extending mandatory military service to three years Military officials commented: "Recruitment targets are adjusted every draft cycle as the recruitment date approaches based on arrival forecasts and operational priorities due to the unique nature of Haredi recruitment and despite an expected increase in recruits this year numbers remain far lower than desired compared to planning and needs."

it could achieve with good agronomic practices Some reasons for this inefficiency are use of traditional varieties Closing the gap between potential and realized yields would have major benefits for farmers in Zambia both in terms of income and food security at the household and national levels One possibility to increase maize productivity is by increasing crop diversity through the inclusion of legumes in maize-based farming systems growing legumes in the rows between maize plants or crop rotations and alternating maize and legumes in the same field from season to season CIMMYT scientists, along with collaborators from the Zambia Agriculture Research Institute (ZARI) and the University of Zambia’s School of Agricultural Science, set out to determine which cropping systems might lead to increased productivity for maize farmers in Zambia and their results were published in the journal Field Crops Research “There is great potential in Zambia to increase yields to help ensure food security,” said Mulundu Mwila “We wanted to determine the cropping systems that offered the most benefits.” ZARI and CIMMYT scientists established maize-based cropping systems trials and maize-legume rotations and intercrops under both ‘conventional’ tillage across 40 farms in a variety of agroecological zones in Zambia  The team also conducted household surveys in the same communities hosting the on-farm trials to determine the share of households with enough cultivated land to benefit from the tested cropping systems Researchers found that the tested cropping systems produced more maize per hectare compared to non-trial host farms in the same region The greatest positive effect uncovered was that maize-legume rotations in Zambia’s Eastern Province had the potential to increase maize yield by 1 to 2 tons per hectare “The Eastern Province trials showed better results because of stable and adequate rainfall amounts and distribution and because of using groundnut as a rotation crop,” said Mwila Researchers attributed the small effect of legumes on maize yield in the Southern Province to low levels of biomass production and nitrogen fixation and to low residue incorporation because of livestock grazing the small effect of legumes on maize yield in the Northern Province might be attributed to the high rainfall amount in the region leading to high rates of leaching of residual nitrogen during the growing season as well as the use of common beans as the preceding crop With evidence showing the potential benefits of maize-legume rotations the availability of land is a constraint for small farms across sub-Saharan Africa thus it is important to quantify the land area needed for farmers to implement maize-legume rotations “Our findings match prior research showing the benefits of maize-legume rotations in Eastern Zambia” said Silva implementing maize-legume rotations remains a challenge for many smallholders due to small farm sizes.” and 70% of the surveyed farms in the Northern had enough land to achieve the same level of maize production obtained on their farm with the yields of the maize-legume rotations tested in the on-farm trials “With our findings showing increased maize yields and our efforts to determine the amount of land needed for food and nutrition security at household level the next steps can be to facilitate methods to disseminate this information to policy makers and to farmers that have enough land area to benefit from diversified cropping systems,” said Silva For farmers with not enough land to reap the benefits of maize-legume rotations intercropping legumes within the maize has shown promising results The researchers also call for further research to specify the contributing factors to small farms not seeing benefits from maize-legume rotations The new farming methods can raise harvests CatId is:"+catID);const urlParams2 = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);let anyClipParam = urlParams2.get("anyclip");const

Torah.. as long as they are studying Torah.” the natural tendency is to consider high daytime temperatures a hidden factor of climate change is taking place: temperatures at night are not dipping as much as observed in the past nocturnal temperatures are rising more rapidly globally than daytime temperatures which is of great concern as research is starting to show the sensitivity of plants to warmer nights Previous studies revealed that wheat yields decline 3-8% for every 1°C increase of the nighttime low temperature the team subjected the selected wheat breeds to an increase of 2°C The varieties were selected based on previous evaluations of their daytime heat tolerance the findings highlighted that genotypes classified as traditionally heat tolerant were sensitive to small increases in nighttime temperature even without daytime temperature stress implying that adaptation to warm nights is likely under independent genetic control than daytime adaptation “These results are exciting as they offer new perspectives on the impact of night temperatures on diurnal photosynthetic performance and wheat yields,” said co-first author Liana Acevedo-Siaca “Through this work we found that wheat yields decreased 1.9% for every degree that increased at night Our hope is that this work can help inform future breeding and research decisions to work towards more resilient agricultural systems capable of dealing with warmer day and nighttime temperatures.” While plants do not “sleep” in the way animals do nighttime for plants has long been thought of as a time of repose compared to daylight hours when photosynthesis is taking place recent findings have revealed that plants are more active than previously thought at night which is the process of plants gathering liquid water from the soil and releasing water vapor through their leaves “An interesting result of our research was that we found varieties characterized as heat tolerant showed some of the greatest declines in yield in response to warmer nights,” said co-first author Lorna McAusland “These are the varieties wheat farmers are being recommended for increasing daytime temperature and so there is a worry that advantages gained during the day are being lost at night.” The goals for breeding new crops have been changed by the rising demands for climate-ready crops originating from the urgent need to adapt to climate change José Crossa and Matthew Reynolds named as Highly Cited Researchers (HCR) in Clarivate’s 2022 Analysis natural selection and humans have systematically adapted the plant species that provide food and other vital products changing their physical and genetic makeup for enhanced productivity Plant breeders apply science to continue improving crop varieties making them more productive and better adapted to climate extremes Florenziko became the price highlight of the 2017 Oldenburg Elite Foal Auction in Vechta The For Romance x Diamond Hit colt sold for 110,000 euro

Department will soon issue dozens of planning tenders for dismantlingthirteen IDF bases sitting on close to 2,000 acres in the heart of the country and the construction of 2 million square meters of new bases in northern and southern Israel The tenders are aimed at large planning firms which will present plants to vacate the existing facilities and relocate them tonew bases The Ministry of Defense�s Engineering and Construction Department will convene a special conference of planningfirms on Wednesday to announce the beginning of the implementation plan which calls for nearly 50 dismantling projects and 13 relocations The process will include the complete evacuation of ten military bases in central Israel and the partial dismantling of three additional bases; meanwhile three new bases will be built in the Negev which will significantly improve the IDF�s operational capabilities while cutting costs for military units the Ministry of Defense will vacate close to 2,000 acres

more than 60,000 apartments in central Israel and hundreds of thousands of square meters of commercial space The historic move will help propel the IDF into the future and strengthen Israel�s periphery communities Published by Globes [online], Israel business news - www.globes-online.com - on April 12 � Copyright of Globes Publisher Itonut (1983) Ltd State prosecutors yesterday withdrew the criminal charges filed against Abdoulie Conteh the former Mayor of the Kanifing Municipality the lead defence counsel for the accused person informed the court that Abdoulie Conteh had effected the payment of D48 after the defence reached a plea bargain with the prosecution told the court that he received instructions from the DPP to inform the court that the state was withdrawing all the charges against Abdoulie Conteh lawyer Antouman Gaye submitted that the case against his client should not only be withdrawn but dismissed since all the terms and conditions have been met Principal State Counsel Bakum again rose to inform the court that the prosecution was only withdrawing the charges against the accused person This statement did not satisfy the defence team prompting lawyer Gaye to tell the trial judge that the defence wants the case to be dismissed Justice Moses Richards then ruled that the court could only acquit on merit Noting that the state cannot just withdraw the case he said they do not want to see a scenario where the accused stands trial on the same offence after both parties agreed on terms and conditions the case was stood down for Principal State Counsel SH Bakum to consult with the DPP on the defence submission that the case be dismissed he told the court that the case be dismissed and then acquitted and discharged the accused person Conteh was alleged to have fraudulently spent some funds belonging to Kanifing Municipal Council while he was the mayor of the municipality He was earlier arraigned before the Banjul High Court on charges of economic crimes resisting arrest at Banjul International Airport and obstructing police officers in the execution of their duties a decision the state appealed against to the Court of Appeal This
