Hi, there. My name is Matthew, and I've live in Tucson now for four and a half years. And this year, I tried to plant in my garden and only chilis because I wanted something easy. And they're trickier than I would have thought that - I had a hard time making it through the summer heat, and like I have bunches of wilted ones now. I think I over watered them. I mean, I - what I would like to do is to take you to my house and get you the…

Actually, that's you've got - he had a good point there. They are really sensitive plants, very sensitive plants. We talked about the climate conditions that they like and they're kind of particular about not too high and not too low, not too hot air conditions, but just hot enough. And they're also very particular about their water requirements as well. So in this case we described a while ago they use about 30 or 32 inches of water of over the year. But, we call of (unintelligible) to its fill capacity, it's full of its water like after you irrigate and the water drains away, we call it fill capacity. And as a soil it begins to dry. It drops in as what we called plant available water level.

Now, chilies are sensitive. They'll only ever grow when it gets a little drier, but they like that range about 75 to 80 percent plant available level to fill capacity. And now, you take another plant like say, squash plants or zucchini or tomatoes that you put in your garden as one they'll tolerate - a drier soil. The chili plants are sensitive to too much stress, when you over water them and they're sensitive to that. They have kind of - not really -what I call - I kind of make fun of them sometimes. So they have kind of a little weak little root system. They're hard working plants if you actually can get them to fruit and do well, and that's what this is really kind of cool about watching guys like Ed and the good farmers that are dealing this - they walk that fine line. That kind of razors edge between not too much water, but just enough.

Two-walled, six, seven, eight inches long, a rounded shoulder, it needs to de-stem quite easily. It needs - for the canning industry it needs to have a Scoville unit of 100 - a 50 to 150 no more that needs to be the range. And a high yield for the farmer. They will be able to set 15 to 25 peppers on one plant. That would be the perfect pair for them - for the canning industry.

Well, I would say that any kind of corporate production system is a function of art and science. And this is a good example of what we've discussed today as an art to walk that fine line and the management, and kind of get a feel of the personality of the plant. And what we're trying to do is find a little more science and bring the science into - and quantify the process.

Again, it's looking more and more likely that something may be rammed through over Sunni objections. The Shiites are telling us that they'll try to go out with a public information campaign and say, `OK, the political leaders in this process weren't happy, but we're going to try to convince you that this is a good document, you know, the average Sunni citizen or Iraqi will accept it.' That may well happen. If it doesn't happen, they'll do what they did last week, which is vote themselves some more time, which really wouldn't be so terrible given the difficult situation Iraq is in.

During this time of war, our reserve families have many of the same challenges of separation, but the added problem of being isolated from the support network of military facilities, and living in a world that has no concept of the problems, fears, and pain that a spouse faces.

My husband and I danced to it at our wedding. However, the song is incredibly difficult to find.

I'm not sure there's a broad, overarching strategy. Instead, maybe what we're seeing is a lot of tactical moves by this president, reacting to events as they come, trying to be flexible. You hear that in the president's oft-repeated phrase, we'll see what happens. One point Trump did make in his book on deal-making is, you never want to seem too eager to be at the deal. That gives too much leverage to your - the person sitting across the table from you. So in walking away last week, he may have sort of recalibrated, made it clear that Kim Jong Un wants these talks at least as much, if not more than Trump does. And in that very personal breakup letter that we're told the president dictated himself, he did leave the door open for resumed talks. And here we are.

Well, sure he certainly did, although I want to ask about this, Scott. It's hard to overlook the fact that when the president makes these sudden shifts - one direction, then another, then back again - one of the things that he does is refocus attention on himself, makes himself the center of the story.

Yeah, the Trump show is the only show in town, and it's playing to a packed house every night. I think the president himself said something like that at one point. It's not easy, though, for the supporting players, whether we're talking about Moon Jae-in or U.S. allies or adversaries or even the president's own staff, Steve. You know, just last week, we had a senior White House official briefing reporters that it would be impossible to restart these talks in time to meet on June 12 in Singapore as originally scheduled. And then over the weekend, you had to president himself insisting that was a made-up source, that no one had said that, that the news media was inventing this, even though it was his own staffer who had made that point to reporters (unintelligible).

Well, it's more dramatic than many people would have expected. The impact this is having on the public is huge. We're seeing empty shelves in stores due to shortages of perishable foods - fruit, eggs, vegetables and so on. We're seeing very long lines at gas stations. You know, some people are sleeping in their cars overnight to get gas. Some gas stations actually closed over the weekend because their supplies ran out. Today, many schools are shut because public transport's in disarray. Flights in recent days have been scaled back. And it's worth remembering that Brazil's a huge exporter of poultry, and poultry producers have had to destroy more than 60 million birds because of the shortage of feed.

Oh, because they can't get the feed - amazing. And they probably can't even move the birds when they need to be moved. So why are the truckers going on strike?

Well, we're about to find that out, I think. I mean, there is a bigger picture here. Brazil's been through the largest recession in its history. A massive corruption scandal involving much of the nation's leadership is still playing out. Politicians are generally very unpopular, especially the president, Michel Temer. There's a presidential election in Brazil in just over four months, and no one has a clue who's going to win it. The big question now is, could this dispute snowball and turn into something even bigger and threaten to bring down Temer's government? And if that government falls, what happens next?

It's not clear if the truckers will accept this. Brazilians have a practice in which they demonstrate their disapproval by banging pots and pans. And as Temer was speaking on TV last night, the sound of banging pots reverberated around Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.
