Larger Wheat Harvest in Ukraine Than Expected

2022

Russia’s further invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 fueled widespread concern about the effects on the country’s farming sector. In the early days of the crisis, food security specialists wondered if Ukrainian farmers would be able to harvest the wheat and barley they had planted the previous fall. They also worried that declining grain exports from Ukraine might throw global markets into turmoil and trigger food shortages continents away.
“Now we are starting to get answers,” said Inbal Becker-Reshef, director of the NASA Harvest program. “Our satellite-based production numbers for the 2022 winter wheat crop in Ukraine make clear that farmers had a largely successful harvest.”
The NASA Harvest team calculated that farmers harvested 26.6 million tons of wheat in 2022, several million tons higher than expected in leading forecasts. “That’s down from the previous year’s record harvest of 33 million tons, but it’s close to the five-year average of 27.9 million tons,” Becker-Reshef added. However, Ukraine does not have access to 22 percent of that wheat in the eastern part of the country due to the war. 
The map at the top of the page, based on NASA Harvest data, shows the distribution of unharvested wheat in late August 2022.

New Mexico’s White Sands

December 26, 2022JPEG

An astronaut aboard the International Space Station took this photograph of White Sands National Park in south-central New Mexico. The park is situated in the Tularosa Basin and spans roughly the southern half of a 275-square-mile (712-square-kilometer) dune field.
The dunes appear bright white in the otherwise reddish-brown landscape. The light color is due to gypsum that was deposited in ancient Lake Otero, a water body that existed in the area when the climate was cooler and wetter. The gypsum originated from the nearby San Andres Mountains and first began washing into the basin close to the end of the last ice age, about 11,000 years ago. Today, the site is the largest gypsum dune field in the world.
New deposits of gypsum are added to the sand dunes when mineral-rich waters from the surrounding mountains drain into the southwest margin of White Sands and subsequently evaporate to form gypsum crystals. Over the years, wind processes have eroded and shaped the dunes to reach about 60 feet (18 meters) tall.
The White Sands region has a rich history in the aerospace industry. NASA utilized three runways built on the northern part of the lakebed for rocket testing and shuttle pilot training.
Courthouse History | Superior Court of California | County of Tuolumne
The resolution further directed the Board's clerk to advertise for the submission of detailed plans and specifications for a brick and stone courthouse "to be erected at a cost not to exceed forty thousand dollars on the present courthouse site in the City of Sonora."
After several days of examining plans and specifications submitted by ten architects, two deadlock ballots, and an extended session, on January 6, 1898, the Board of Supervisors selected the San Francisco firm of William Mooser & Son by a 3-2 vote.
The building was originally designed to face east towards Washington Street, Sonora's main thoroughfare; however, it is local lore that one of the county's most affluent citizens and lumber magnate, Samuel S. Bradford, who resided across Yaney Avenue to the north, succeeded in having the plans altered so as to make the structure face his home, now the site of the A. N. Francisco Building. The Union Democrat, whose office was located adjacent to the Bradford home, was also quite favorable to having the new courthouse face Yaney Avenue. A Union Democrat article published on January 15, 1898, reported that, "The plan of the first floor is that the main entrance shall face to the north, with another place of ingress and egress on the south. All architects concur with Mr. Mooser that this is the true position for the main entrance, as it then comes to a street level and the surrounding view thereby afforded includes some of the handsomest buildings in town. . .".
The final plans from William Mooser & Son were officially adopted on April 5, 1898, with the understanding that the courthouse would be a fireproof building, with fire hoses on each floor.
On May 21, 1898, the courthouse construction contract was awarded to the low bidder, Charles F. McCarthy. The contract called for the old courthouse to be removed and the site ready for the contractor to begin work by July 20, 1898. The various county officers, their records, and furnishings were located throughout the downtown area. In mid-June, the old courthouse was auctioned off in three sections. Only about 50 people attended. The northern addition erected in 1891 was sold for $26.00, and the older addition on the south went for only $5.00.
Progressions Program | VA Portland Health Care | Veterans Affairs
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for Moral Injury is unique in that it is post-trauma processing and is co-facilitated with mental health providers and Peer Support Specialists (PSS).
In collaboration with Mental Health, VA Portland Chaplain Service is recognized for pioneering work in the treatment of moral injury. Chaplain Rebecca Morris and Dr. Jaimie Lusk developed a 10-Week ACT for Moral Injury group that is nationally recognized by the Dynamic Diffusion Network (non-VA website).
Progressions Acknowledgements
Progressions has grown out of the reverse-engineered healing process of Chaplain Rebecca Morris, MDiv, MHICS, BCC. Along the way, there have been many influential sages who have shared their wisdom in written and/or oral format to whom we want to pay our respects.
From a structural level, Progressions stands on the shoulders of Judith Herman (Trauma and Recovery, 2015) and Edward Tick (War and the Soul, 2005) who have each articulated their own phases of trauma healing. Many of the interventions are indebted to Bill Plotkin (Soulcraft, 2003; Nature and the Human Soul, 2007; Wild Mind, 2013; and The Journey of Soul Initiation, 2021). Chaplain Morris got to know Plotkin through extended training in the wilderness of Colorado. Tribal wisdom from Lee Plenty Wolf of the Lakota in North America and the Shapibo and Quechuan tribes of South America graciously shared their healing practices that is as old as the hills. Chaplain Morris is the only full-time Buddhist chaplain in the Department of Veterans Affairs and is ordained in the Tibetan Buddhist lineage. Other notable works are by Erich Neumann (Depth Psychology and a New Ethic, 1990), Marshall Rosenthall (Nonviolent Communication, 2003), T. Thorn Coyle (Kissing the Limitless, 2009), Michael Brown (The Presence Process, 2010), Tara Brach (True Refuge, 2013), and Martín Pretchel (The Smell of Rain on Dust, 2015).
Progressions started in 2015 in Portland with Chaplain Morris working with Veterans at the VA Portland Health Care System Portland and Vancouver campuses. In 2018 the work expanded to such an extent that Chaplain Greg Widmer, MDiv, BCC, was hired, in large part, to stabilize programming in Vancouver.
2001 Budget Analysis:Employment Development Department
SB 546 (Solis), would have gradually increased the maximum weekly benefit to $380 by January 2003. The bill was vetoed, in part because it lacked a
financing mechanism, and therefore would have adversely impacted the UI Fund.
Wage Replacement Over the Life of the Program. As noted above, the maximum benefit was raised to $230 in 1992. At that time, this maximum benefit level
represented 39 percent of the average weekly nonagricultural wage in California. Figure 1 (see next page) tracks the percent of wages replaced by UI benefits
since 1956. We define the term "wage replacement" as the maximum UI benefit at the time divided by the average weekly nonagricultural wage. In other words,
that portion of a claimant's earnings that are substituted by benefits is the "wage replacement." As of December 2000, the maximum UI benefit of $230 replaced
30 percent of the average weekly nonagricultural wage. As the figure shows, this is an all-time low.
 
Comparison to Other States. Among the 50 states, California's average weekly benefits paid are low. Specifically, California's average weekly benefit amount
is a little over $159 versus a national average of about $222. Put another way, California ranks 49th, ahead of only Mississippi, which pays its claimants an
average of about $157 per week. Among the ten most populous states, California has the lowest average weekly benefit, about $56 less than the next lowest
state, Georgia. We note that nearly all California workers are covered by UI. This may not be the case in other states.
The maximum UI benefit level is a policy decision for the Legislature. Below we discuss the costs of increasing the maximum benefit level to a level of wage
replacement roughly equivalent to 1992, the last time benefits were increased.
Cost of Restoring UI Benefits to 1992 Wage Replacement Level. During calendar year 2000, the UI program paid benefits in the amount of $2.8 billion to
about 14.8 million workers. If the Legislature wanted to raise the level of the wage replacement to the 1992 level, the maximum benefit level would need to be
