![]() We noticed no difference on these two greens in comparison to all the others and strangely there was no bruising or footprints, which is something I was fully expecting. When I started in 2015, the greens were on temporaries for frost and when they were thawing following a deep freeze.īut our 3rd and 4th greens had to remain open as there is no room on the holes for a temporary. My opinion on ‘greens in play’ for Chipstead has changed. The work vehicles are included in the ban and so the greenkeepers will walk the course to make sure all is well. Having bruised the turf, the tyre marks leave an unsightly black mark which can take a week or two to disappear. Our first response to frost is to ban buggies until it lifts. We are fortunate to have separate winter tees in different locations to the summer tees, so any yellowing of the grass from playing on frost is confined to these areas.ĭepending upon any competitions being played, the course will remain on the frost greens until the risk of damage to the plant has passed or, if present, the ground has completely thawed, removing any possibility of root shear. This not only improves the playing surface for summer golf but also improves the condition and playability of the frost holes during the winter. Over the past few years we have extended our greens maintenance out in front of the green to incorporate the frost hole positions. The club has a frost policy that is circulated to our membership each year, which explains our reasons for using frost greens and the differences between a light frost that doesn’t cause long-term leaf damage and a heavy frost that can cause root shear and serious leaf damage. When it is frosty the course remains open for play and, depending upon the severity of the frost, the flags are taken off the greens and put onto our frost holes. ![]() Rob Hay, course manager, Northamptonshire County GC It’s not the most popular policy, but through the right communication and plenty of updates during frosty mornings, the majority of the members accept the inconvenience of playing to temporary greens. If the greens have not thawed then they will remain off for the rest of the day. At the weekends we make the last inspection at 1pm. It is the greenkeeper’s responsibility to make the decision when play can return to the main greens. The policy we implement at Parkstone is that no play is allowed on the greens during frosty or frozen conditions. It is very hard to predict when damage will occur during a frost, so I like to protect the greens until they are fully thawed. We have irrigation to protect for extreme heat, drainage and aeration to protect against excessive moisture and, in my view, protection from frost and freezing in the form of temporary greens. This is especially important at times when they are under extreme environmental pressure. Having spent the majority of my greenkeeping career in Scotland, where cold temperatures and frozen greens are more common, my learning has always been to protect our most important asset - the greens. Play on frosty or frozen greens is an issue that has split greenkeepers and clubs for some time. Grant Peters, course manager, Parkstone GC It isn’t worth changing because the golfers have done it for so long and the greens still perform well after a cut and roll when the frost has come out of the ground. Unfortunately, this is something I just have to live with. My only real problem is when the frost starts to come out and golfers start to make pitchmarks that they can’t repair. This is because sometimes the frost gathers on the studs and makes golf shoes more like football boots. This year we are putting posters up around the clubhouse to try and encourage golfers to clean the frost from their shoes before they walk onto the green. The club gains a lot of income from playing a full course through the winter, which is important as we are a small club and we get a lot of golfers who travel over an hour to come and play. The club has never had winter greens and has always played on the full greens in the frost. We have USGA-built greens which we play on all year round. Keith Burgon, head greenkeeper, Eyemouth GCĮyemouth is located on the south east coast of Scotland and is positioned on the cliffs above the North Sea. We’ve asked four course managers to take us through their frost policies before asking a further duo why they do, and don’t, use temporary greens. Why is it that some clubs choose to protect their greens when it’s icy but others don’t? Will we be playing on the main greens, or will it be the dreaded temporaries that mark our winter round? Nothing causes more gloom for golfers in winter than the sight of frost on the ground. Why do some clubs use temporary greens, while others don’t?

It is possible that European settlers may have used the term “Wolf Moon” even before they came to North America.Īnother name for this time period was the Center Moon, from the Assiniboine people, because it was the middle of the winter season. It was traditionally thought that wolves howled due to hunger, but we now know that wolves use howls to define territory, locate pack members, reinforce social bonds, and gather for hunting. The howling of wolves was often heard at this time of year. They are only roughly aligned here with the months of the Gregorian calendar. Many of the names listed here are English interpretations of the words used in Native American languages. Some names listed here may reflect usage at one time in history, but may no longer be used by a designated group today. Additionally, a name for the lunar month might vary each year or between bands or other groups within the same nation. Note that for Native American names, each Moon name was typically applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, the month starting either with the new Moon or full Moon. The Moon names that we use in The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from Native American, Colonial American, or other traditional North American sources passed down through generations.

The free bird is happy and able to live in nature as it pleases while the caged bird suffers. Source: WHHY Series Navigation“Caged Bird” by Maya Angelou is a poem that describes the two opposing differences between two birds a free bird and a caged bird. What do you think of this poetry? Please add your comment below.Ĭover Photo: Maya Angelou. As such, freedom is not just a political domain topic, but rather an understanding of human capability. ![]() How many cages did we build in our organisations? How many wings have clipped of our people, impeding them to dare for something bigger? Whatever stance we take on organisation design and the meaning we give to Work, the idea of enabling freedom also in the workplace is a must to be able to unleash human potential. And we know how much of personal endeavours can often make us resemble living in self-built a cage.įrom an organisation perspective, there’s something more. There’s no indication here about the origins of the cage of the bird. This poetry is a true invite to value freedom as a necessary step for human expression. A Caged Bird instead, his wings are clipped, and his feet are tied as he stands on the grave of dreams and only has his voice to play with and sings of freedom. A free Bird dares to claim the sky, showing how important liberty can be in also achieving the most difficult goals. Maya Angelou compares, in this poem, the lives of a free bird, and one living in a cage. His wings are clipped and his feet are tied Sings of freedom The free bird thinks of another breezeĪnd the trade winds soft through the sighing treesĪnd the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawnīut a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams I Know Why The Caged Bird SingsĪnd dares to claim the sky.

With the camp suffering from a shortage of coal since late 1944, the crematoria could not keep pace with the tempo of dying. Between 2,600 and 4,000 inmates per month succumbed to disease or starvation, roughly 100 every day. The numbers who died topped 400 in October, then doubled in November, before reaching 1,915 in December.ĭachau’s final four months of operation in 1945 proved truly catastrophic. In the autumn of 1944 a dreadful transition occurred. Twice in those three years, the death toll surpassed 400 per month. ![]() Looking back to the beginning of World War II, he contends that between 1,000 and 3,000 prisoners perished in the camp, annually, between 19. Harold Marcuse’s Legacies of Dachau offers us that. ![]() Some perspective is needed to comprehend the skyrocketing mortality rate in Dachau. In short order, overcrowding, disease (particularly typhus), and malnutrition followed the bitter cold of winter. Food supplies dwindled just as thousands of arrivals evacuated from other camps had to be fed. Other factors besides the SS’s wanton cruelty incited new terror among Dachau’s prisoners. Undoubtedly, the omnipresence of the SS guaranteed that attempted escape or rebellion would be met with extreme violence. Due to its location in Bavaria, quite distant from the battle fronts, liberation would not happen anytime soon. Despite the fragmentary knowledge of the state of the war they gained, there was much uncertainty about how long the Hitler regime might withstand the Allied advance. ![]() There were powerful reasons for inmates, though, to temper expectations. As the weeks passed, confidence in Allied victory, while fragile, struck roots in Dachau. News, much of it good, about the Allies’ recent triumphs -stopping Adolf Hitler’s Ardennes Offensive and the unleashing of the Red Army’s Vistula-Oder Offensive (mid-January 1945)-seeped in. The historic winter of 1944-45 tested the endurance of the Dachau concentration camp’s captive population.

The first man credited with the invention of the gourmet sandwich was a New York, New York delicatessen owner named Arnold Reuben. According to What’s Cooking America, there are a handful of unsubstantiated narratives, but two stand out as the most likely. While its current status as an American classic is irrefutable, the origin of this culinary colossus is hotly contested. The Reuben is cemented in American culture as one of the most satisfyingly hearty sandwiches you can find on a deli’s menu. I do not get why this place is popular.The Disputed History of the Gourmet Deli-Style Reuben Sandwich I can go to many restaurants that now serve vegan food and Impossible burgers for less than you charge AND be treated well. Second, hire people who are friendly and have a 'can do' attitude, instead of people who act like you shouldn't be there. ![]() "We are out of the Impossible Burger."įirst, how do you ask your customers to wait in a long line and then announce you are out of a main menu item? Would have been nice to have it written somewhere customers can see so they don't wait in a long line only to find out the item everyone in your party is wanting is OUT. All 4 of us were there for the plant based Impossible burgers. She acted like it was a huge deal to even ask if it was possible so we passed on it. Should that balance it out? Already paying a high price for just an appetizer. Okay, so I get that vegan cheese costs more, however, we were not having the meat on it!? And if we can, that will be a lot extra". Got an eye roll, and a "I don't know if we can do that. act like they hate people, why oh why are they in the service industry!? Anyway, we got to the place to order.we asked for vegan cheese on the loaded fries, without the meat. Wait staff was burly once again, we got this at our first visit so knew to expect it. ![]() We waited in an extremely long line.stood there for close to 30 minutes just to order. We arrived on Mother's Day for a late lunch. It’s a common thread of complaints, yet they don’t care. We will never be back, I’m so tired of waiting in that line for rudeness and a ridiculous system. She said, “well if the line is long, you can ask the cashier to get someone to help you.” Ummm, are you serious, lady? I all but set myself on fire and you looked at me several times ignoring me each time!!! They need a to hire friendlier people to represent their business. I mentioned that there needs to be a better system than this because I am now paying $44 for cold food for my family. I had no choice but to wait 20 minutes in that line to pay for my carry out. I stepped close to the cashier and she saw me but continued to ignore me. nobody is, hoping the cashier or someone from the back would help. So I called my order in, knowing the fact they only have one cashier and there are always lines, long or short, either way people can’t seem to make up their mind before they get up there. Would like to consider trying them again, if they had what we thought we would get to begin with, and if they had gluten-free bread for my wife. Just sort of a strange dining experience. We were going to order a Panini to begin with But we’re told only a few sub rolls were available. Which again was very strange since they said they were out of bread except for a few sub rolls I in back. And as were eating, I noticed the family who came after us eating a grilled sandwich or a Panini. The place was only moderately busy at this time, but it took close to a half an hour for everything to come. Another daughter loved the Ramen noodle dish that was on the special menu for the month. The hand cut fries, we absolutely loved, not gluten-free, but delicious for a few members of the table. My daughter and I split a pulled pork sandwich 12 inch, again a huge sandwich, we thought it was good. It wasn’t bad, and the sandwich was huge, but she would’ve preferred gluten-free bread, as most sandwich places now carry. Anyways my wife ordered a gluten Free alternative that was basically a fried cheese wrap. does a deli run out of bread? Anyways we got the family together looked at the menu and we’re about to leave when a very nice staff member came over and said he had located some bread subs in the back. When we got there, at about 2 PM, we were told they did not carry gluten-free bread, and also they did not have any bread at all. ![]() So we got to epic deli after calling and being told that they had several gluten-free options.
