Texas Community Help Expo set Weekly for November 12 in Conroe Gas Prices (October 26, 2020) Te x a s g a s p r i c e s a r e unchanged in the past week, averaging $1.85/g t o d a y, a c c o r d i n g t o GasBuddy's daily survey of 13,114 stations. Gas prices in Texas are 1.3 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 42.1 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas is priced at $1.47/g today while the most expensive is $2.69/g, a difference of $1.22/g. The lowest price in the state today is $1.47/g while the highest is $2.69/g, a difference of $1.22/g.

The national average price of gasoline is unchanged in the last week, averaging $2.14/g t o d a y. T h e n a t i o n a l average is down 4.2 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 45.5 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Midland Odessa$1.98/g, up 1.7 cents per gallon from last week's $1.96/g.

San Antonio- $1.77/g, down 3.0 cents per gallon from last week's $1.80/g.

Austin- $1.80/g, down 3.0 cents per gallon from last week's $1.83/g.

“Gas price trends continue to be typical for this time of year, easing slightly in most places as demand continues its slow seasonal drop, with potential enhancement from the recent surge in new coronavirus cases," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "More stations are falling back under $2 per gallon, in fact the highest amount of stations since May are now under that level, and I do believe that trend will continue at least for now as improvement in the coronavirus situation remains elusive. There may be minor disruption in price and localized supply challenges as Tropical Storm Zeta again takes aim for the Gulf Coast, but like we've seen with Laura, Sally and Delta, these issues have been very minor compared to a normal year due to the reduction in our gasoline appetite."

Football team in 1980.

During his last season he coached a stunning 11 winning games. He died suddenly of a heart attack on the morning of Father’s Day in 1983 at the age of 44.

“Buddy set an example of the importance of achieving a college education, according to Conroe ISD colleague Charlie Patterson. “He knew in order to live out his dream, which was to coach young people, a college education was a priority.

Today he would be telling young people, you narrow your choices in life when you limit your education.”

The Moorhead family established a scholarship for a graduating Conroe High School senior who participated in football and exemplified the “spirit” of the Conroe Tigers as the best way to memorialize him.

The 2020 winner of this scholarship, Christian Pack, was Conroe High School’s Tiger Football Team quarterback for the 2018 and 2019 seasons and team captain for the 2019 season.

Suggestions For Mindful Eating: Multi (Slow) Cooker Coq au Vin Food for Thought Diana Anderson

DianaCAnderson@ gmail.com

Here, this traditional dish from Burgundy is prepared in a multi cooker, which allows you to brown the chicken and then cook it slowly in the same vessel until the meat is exceptionally tender. If using a slow cooker, you have the ability to cook at a low temperature for a long period of time resulting in tender meat but not the means to brown the chicken in the same dish.

Just keep a separate vessel close to cook the bacon, brown the chicken and then to reheat the sauce at the end of cooking to thicken it. If you don’t use an electric cooker just stick to the traditional Dutch oven, covered, and do the slow cooking in an oven set to 250 degrees for 1-2 hours.

Braising chicken in wine is an age-old tradition, and a method used all over France. You brown the meat, add liquid to the pot, be it water, wine or stock, and then set it over low heat for a lengthy s i m m e r. T h a t i n i t i a l browning creates the

foundation of the sauce, lending complex layers of flavor to the final dish.

In a traditional coq au vin, which hails from the Burgundy region, wine is used both to tenderize what was traditionally a tough old rooster (a coq in French) and to imbue the meat with its heady flavor.

When the bird is slowly simmered, often for hours and hours as the oldest recipes suggest, its sinewy flesh slackens, growing soft and aromatic, and easily yielding to the fork.

As the simmering wine seasons the chicken, the chicken seasons the wine,helping transform it into a savory sauce. The wine, which reduces as it cooks, also takes on the other flavors in the pot, in t h i s c a s e b r a n d y, mushrooms, onions, bacon and herbs, along with the savory fond — that is, the caramelized bits on the bottom of the pan that you get from the initial browning of the chicken.

The young, tender chickens of today cook more quickly than those earlier birds, but they are imbued with similar lusty flavors.

There are variations of coq au vin all over France, each a celebration

of local wines both red and white. In Alsace, a dry Riesling is used, resulting in a lighter, brighter sauce that is often enriched with a little cream or crème fraîche stirred in at the end.

The Jura and the Champagne regions also have their own recipes; cooks in the Jura sometimes substitute morels for the more common white or brown button mushrooms. In Beaujolais, the young dark purple nouveau wine gives that dish the name coq au violet. But Burgundy’s version, made with its local wine, is the best known across France and all over the world.

No matter what kind of wine you pour into your pot, the method of simmering it with chicken or other meat is applicable across the kitchen. Case in point: Boeuf bourguignon, another French classic, is essentially coq au vin made with chunks of stewing beef instead of fowl. Mastering this one technique leads to many excellent dinners.

Legend has it that J u l i u s C a e s a r himself introduced a version of coq au vin to France. As the commonly cited (and thoroughly

apocryphal) story goes, the Celtic Gauls sent a rooster to Caesar during the Roman occupation. Caesar had his cook stew it in herbs and Roman wine and then returned it to the Gauls. Whether or not this is true, the tradition of simmering poultry in wine does indeed date to ancient Rome, and perhaps even further back.

Because the main ingredient of a coq au vin was historically a tough old rooster, it is very likely that the earliest versions were peasant fare. Recipes calling for rooster rarely graced the early tracts on French cooking in the 17th and 18th centuries, which documented food for the wealthy. It wasn’t until the more current substitution of tender chicken in the 19th century that the dish and all its variations entered the French canon.

That the Burgundian version emerged as the most prominent in the United States is because of Julia Child, who championed the recipe as a s y m b o l o f t h e sophistication and verve of French country cooking.

Comments According to Doc

This Anti-Virus Stimulant Bill Is How Nancy Pelosi, Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, Rips-Off the American Taxpayers!!!

Walden Happenings

By Doc Fennessy The opinions expressed in this editorial do not necessarily reflect those of MCN.

Walden Happenings – Folks, at the start of this Anti-Virus Stimulant United States House of Representatives Bill 748 of the 1116th Congress; Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of The House attempted to “con” the American taxpayers by inserting in this bill One (1) Trillion Dollars in cash. ---Yes folks, One Trillion Dollars in cash distributes to the 11-million illegal aliens living in this country!!!

Oh yes!

If Joe Biden wins the election, the Democrats will grant them “amnesty”, citizenship and at the same time – register the 11 million new citizens as Democrat Voters!!!~ Its all in the 111-page Democrat postElection Plan!

At this time I believe The One Trillion Dollars

item for these illegal aliens has been deleted.

But folks, the bill is “Still Alive” – so to speak.

So Now we know why the Democrats do not want to compromise.

A N T I - V I R U S STIMULUS BILL. ...Now you know why Republicans are blocking this 2 trillion dollar congressional bill !!!

Hard to believe but look it up on the “Congressional website’ for HR- 748 from 116th Congress.

The following demonstrates how Nancy Pelosi intends to block the money for the citizens that have been affected by the Coronavirus-19.

As a result if this bill is eventually passed it will block essential money going to the victims of the plague and prevent them from paying their rent, providing food for their family, pay off pending debts and other necessary activities of daily living. . As of October 9th, this is what we knew.

American population: 330,483,530.

Stimulus bill: $2,000,000,000,000 ($2 Trillion).

Dividing the cost by everyone in America is $6,051.74.

The government could have given every person over $6,000, but instead will give $1,200 to each adult under a certain income.

Presidential Debate Begs Answer: What Will Gas Prices Do After Election?

BOSTON – Gas prices have been out of sight and out of mind for many w i t h 2 0 2 0 ’s y e a r l y average likely to be at its lowest in over a decade.

However, at last night’s presidential debate, President Trump and former vice president Joe Biden had a nearly 12minute discussion on their starkly different stances on America’s energy resources, putting further emphasis on the fact that which candidate voters elect could have great implications for the future of gasoline prices and how much motorists will spend to fill their tank, according to a recent GasBuddy analysis.

The analysis found that when it comes to energy, a Joe Biden presidency would favor more environmental controls with respect to

drilling and emissions, increasing fuel mileage standards, alternative vehicle power like electricity, expanded tax credits benefiting fuel efficient vehicle owners, and evolving from fossil fuels. By comparison, P r e s i d e n t Tr u m p ’s policies are generally regarded as populist and pro-business, while perhaps marginalizing environmental factors.

Either approach will have significant implications for the supply/demand balance, which will impact what the average American will pay per gallon. However, trends may shift that partially offset Biden’s potential moves as COVID-19 changes the landscape to more Americans working from home, reducing demand for possibly several years.

Under Biden, gas

prices have a higher risk of rising based on his previous comments of curbing fracking, ending offshore drilling and weaning America off petroleum, even as COVID-19 has boosted used car demand to record levels. A Biden White House that aims to curb oil and gasoline use risks a return to high prices so long as it is designed to cut oil supply, but not demand. The shift to electric vehicles is likely to take decades, as automakers slowly move towards EVs and charging stations rise in numbers. While Republicans have scoffed at carbon emission pricing on fuel, Democrats have embraced it, with California already having implemented such pricing, a model that could lead to the introduction of such a tax

elsewhere.

Bottom line: Gas prices could climb significantly if either Biden is elected and acts to curb oil supply while not offering a major new program to move Americans away from their internal combustionpowered vehicles, while Trump is likely to keep the status quo on the oil industry, keeping prices at the pump lower.

GasBuddy’s analysis looked into how various policies that may or may not be implement could affect gas prices and made rough estimations what each action could have on gas prices: * Institute carbon pricing: raise prices 1050c/gal * Cut oil production (i.e. banning fracking or new drilling): raise prices 25-75c/gal

* Add more ethanol in gasoline: cut prices 1035c/gal “ Tr a d i t i o n a l l y, presidents had limited ability to move the needle at the gas pump, but in recent years that has c h a n g e d . M r. B i d e n has openly said that he would end drilling, curbing U.S. oil production and end fracking, which could potentially send oil prices and thus gas prices higher,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at G a s B u d d y. “ W h i l e hundreds of millions of Americans remain dependent on gasoline for their daily lives, attitudes have been changing.

Trump, on the other hand, has been seen as “friendly” to the oil sector, which has acted to keep production flowing and keeping prices in check. The impact to gas

prices from a Biden White House could be large in the years ahead, especially on lowincome households and commuters. It’s challenging to get a full understanding of where Mr. Biden stands on fossil fuel use. It’s clear he wants to reduce America’s dependence, but if i t ’s n o t f o c u s e d o n incentives for Americans to reduce their demand and only focuses on reducing supply, Americans could see a return to gas prices that we’ve not seen in some time,” said De Haan.

GasBuddy will be holding a Facebook Live discussion on this topic October 28 at 3pm ET with De Haan available to answer any questions. All are welcome to join facebook.com/gasbu ddy.

Highlights outlined in the report include: * Corn: Outstanding sales of U.S. corn to China are at an all-time high of 8.7 million tons. * Soybeans: U.S. soybeans sales for marketing year 2021 are off to the strongest start in history, with outstanding sales to China double 2017 levels. * Sorghum: U.S. exports of sorghum to China from January to August 2020 totaled $617 million, up from $561 million for the same period in 2017. * Pork: U.S. pork exports to China hit an alltime record in just the first five months of 2020. * Beef: U.S. beef and

beef products exports to China through August 2020 are already more than triple the total for 2017.

In addition to these products, USDA expects 2020 sales to China to hit record or near-record levels for numerous other U.S. agricultural products including pet food, alfalfa hay, pecans, peanuts, and prepared foods.

“This China Phase One Agreement is proof P r e s i d e n t Tr u m p ’s negotiating strategy is working. While it took China a long time to realize President Trump was serious, this deal is a huge success for the entire economy. This agreement finally levels the playing field for U.S. agriculture

and is a bonanza for A m e r i c a ’s f a r m e r s , ranchers, and producers,” said U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue.

“Being able to participate in this market in a more fair and equitable way has generated more sales that are supporting higher prices and strengthening the rural economy.” “ P r e s i d e n t Tr u m p delivered on his promise to confront China’s unfair trade practices and expand market opportunities for U.S. agriculture through the Phase One Agreement.

Since the Agreement entered into force eight months ago, we have seen remarkable improvements in our agricultural trade relationship with China,

which will benefit our farmers and ranchers for years to come,” said U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.

USTR and USDA continue to work closely with the Chinese government to ensure that the Phase One Agreement is fully and properly implemented, so that access for U.S. food and agricultural products into the Chinese market can continue to expand moving forward.

SHSU Digital Forensics Intelligence Center Offers Insight Into Foreign Election Hacking With concerns growing over foreign countries (Russia/Iran) hacking to interfere in elections, experts at Sam Houston State University’s Digital Forensics Intelligence Center are available to speak on the topic. Below are comments provided by Dr. Bradley Glisson, director of the Cyber Forensics Intelligence Center and Dr. Cihan Varol, associate professor Computer Science. Both experts are available to speak with media for further comments.

Q&A with SHSU Cyber Forensics Intelligence Center: A tweet from your center referred to the recent

Iranian/Russian concerns as “Not exactly a hack, but a clumsy attempt to cause disruption with easy to use tools” --- can you explain what that means?

Not all attacks compromise a machine; attacks are used to disrupt services, and everyday activities like a denial of service attack, for example. Also, it is important to note that the voters' data is often accessible through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and also available on the dark web. In this case, it is still not clear how this data was obtained.

How do digital forensics experts track where attacks like these

originate?

Forensics analysis will examine the network traffic, look for IP addresses, reverse engineer software looking for originating and destination IP addresses. If a machine or device is breached, then the analyst will look for any residual artifacts that would indicate how the device was breached.

What do you believe is the goal of these attempts?

The goals can range from simple disruption, to data manipulation, to data acquisition. Acquired data can be used for ransom, it can be sold to third parties, or it can be used to damage a company’s financial standing.

As technology continues to advance, why is it important for students to consider a degree and career in digital forensics?

Industry’s dependence on technology continues to grow. Hence, the need for cybersecurity and cyber forensics professionals continues to increase. In a recent article, Forbes estimates that the global cybersecurity market is worth approximately $173 Billion in 2020 and predicts that it will expand to around $270 Billion by 2026. This environment creates an extraordinary industry demand for qualified cybersecurity and cyber forensics professionals.

Taxpayers may pay online by going to http://mctotx.org and select Property Tax or access their individual account by scanning the QR code on the statement with a smart device. Tax statements can also be downloaded from the website. Tax statements for properties paid through mortgage escrow accounts were sent to the requesting mortgage

c o m p a n y. A p r i n t a b l e version of the receipt is available online and paper receipts will be issued upon request.

Taxpayers are urged to contact the Tax Office if they have not received their tax statement by midN o v e m b e r. “ I t i s important that a property owner contact us if they do not receive their statement,” said McRae. All payments, including metered mail, online bill pay and echecks, must bear a USPS postmark or be received on or before January 31st.

Depositing payments in a USPS collection box does not guarantee a postmark for that day and could result in the accrual of penalty and interest if done on or near a delinquency date.

Property taxes must be paid

by January 31, 2021 to

avoid incurring penalties and interest.

Section 31.031 of the Property Tax Code allows individuals who are disabled/disabled veteran/surviving spouse of a disabled veteran or at least 65 years of age and qualify for a homestead exemption to choose an installment payment option on the property in which the homestead is claimed.

Late payments will be charged penalty and interest per the Property Tax Code.

For additional information, please visit the tax office website or call 9365 3 9 - 7 8 9 7 . “ We l o o k forward to serving the needs of the taxpayers of Montgomery County” states Ms. McRae.

Is This License Plate For Real?

Thousands of citizens across Texas do not yet realize the options available to them in license plates for their cars. In addition to visiting the website of the Texas Department of M o t o r Ve h i c l e s f o r personalized plates, citizens will find even more choices at MyPlates.com which is authorized by the Texas DMV to offer street legal plates, and as an added incentive the proceeds from charity plates benefit non-profit programs.

While the “Choose Life” plate from the Texas DMV site gives pro-lifers the opportunity to take a bold stand, the “Calvary Hill” plate from My Plates

provides Christians the opportunity to have the traditional three crosses of Calvary depicted on their license plates as well as the words “One State Under God”. These words became a part of the pledge of allegiance to the

Texas state flag in 2007.

The “Calvary Hill” license plate is not only a visible statement of faith; a portion of the proceeds from this plate go to Glory Gang, a non-profit Christian outreach based in Nacogdoches that

ministers to at-risk children. The unusual plate was approved for distribution by the Texas DMV governing board in 2011 after some controversy and has been available for purchase since 2012.

Devotional Stick To The Path and Enrich The Pattern - 2 Spreading the Word

By Gail J. Box Gailbox@consolidated.net

Last week we saw how God enriched the pattern of a life - one in the New and one in the Old Te s t a m e n t … J o b a n d Paul. Both men stuck to the path: Job kept his faith s t r o n g , a n d P a u l ’s previous life of persecution of Christians totally turned around to establishing Christian churches all over the known world!

This week, we’ll see how Peter,* the fisher-

man, became a “fisher of men” for his Lord, Jesus.

His new name meant the “Rock.” And he became a rock for the foundation of the many churches founded in Judea. Large in build and in character, although he did deny Christ at one time, he was fearless under pressure. In those times, it took strong men to face public places with the Gospel message.

He stayed the path and had many people and churches brought into the “fold.” * Found in Halley’s Bible Handbook – Zondervan Publishers.

Jesus set out the pattern for Peter’s life, and he ended up in a

encounter with God, and a few big prayers, I gave my life solely to teaching His word in church for the last 33 years. Within that time, God enriched my life with the opportunity of homeschooling my grandson.

To say that my life was enriched with God’s choice is an understatement. It was more than I could have ever asked for in my life. Our grandson, now, is a collage graduate.

Our lives are a pattern of specific events which the Lord has determined for us before we’re born.

Jesus says this in John 10: 14 – 16b “I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know

Me….the will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.”

So how do we match His path and enrich ours?

I’m glad you asked!

We are reminded that God does hear us and can truly speak to our hearts in many ways. He speaks to us through prayers, scriptures, other friends, dreams, and visions; anytime during the day or night. He is never condemning…only positive.

Just think of a problem, ask Him about it, and He will answer it….quickly or in time. God is interested in everything we do and say. One check-out

clerk told me recently as I was leaving with my groceries: “I just want you to know that it’s people like you that help me get up every morning and come to work.”

We j u s t n e e d t o remember to stay on our path until God directs us another way. Our path is our pattern. If God wants to change your path, He will make the present one uncomfortable in some way. Or He may even take it away to make you move. Just remember, He will have a replacement ready for you, and you will discover why…in due time.

forever place called heaven.

He no longer had a fisherman’s path, but with God’s help, his life’s work was enriched to follow a different pattern of work that affected the whole known world.

On a personal note, I stuck to the path of teaching young first graders. However, after 20+ years, I thought I was ready for a change. So I began taking a principal’s class. I remember going to the second meeting of training, and as I picked up my pen to take a short test, I heard this soft voice say very clearly, “This is not for you!” After that

NOTICE OF RATE CHANGE REQUEST On October 19, 2020, Entergy Texas, Inc. (“ETI”) filed an application to amend its Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (“TCRF”) with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“Commission” or “PUC”). The application was assigned PUC Docket No. 51406. The proposed TCRF is requested in accordance with the Public Utility Regulatory Act § 36.209 and 16 TAC § 25.239. A TCRF allows a utility to recover its reasonable and necessary costs that have occurred since the end of the test year in the utility's last base rate case for transmission infrastructure improvement and changes in wholesale transmission charges to the electric utility under a tariff approved by a federal regulatory authority. In its requested amendment, ETI is seeking recovery of costs for transmission capital investments it incurred from July 1, 2019 through August 31, 2020. ETI also seeks to recover approved transmission charges that are not otherwise being recovered through rates.

The proposed TCRF as amended would result in total TCRF retail revenues of approximately $51.0 million, which is $31.6 million in incremental annual TCRF revenue beyond ETI's currently effective TCRF. This $31.6 million amount would be a 3.3% increase in ETI's annualized non-fuel revenue requirement as compared to revenues approved in Docket No. 48371, ETI's most recent base rate case, and a 2.1% increase in ETI's overall annualized revenue requirement including fuel costs as compared to such revenues as approved in Docket No. 48371. The impact of the rate change on various customer classes will vary from the overall impact described in this notice.

ETI has requested that an intervention deadline and hearing request deadline of November 30, 2020 be established, and that, if no hearing is requested, the Commission adopt an order approving the proposed TCRF at or before its currently-scheduled open meeting on January 14, 2021. All customers in ETI's Texas retail rate classes are affected by this request.

Persons with questions or who want more information on this filing may contact ETI at Entergy Texas, Inc., Attn: Customer Service—2020 TCRF Case, 350 Pine Street, Beaumont, Texas 77701, or call 1-866-981-2602 during normal business hours.

A complete copy of this application is available for inspection at the address listed above.

The Commission has assigned Docket No. 51406 to this proceeding. Persons who wish to intervene in or comment upon this proceeding should notify the Public Utility Commission of Texas as soon as possible, as an intervention deadline will be imposed. ETI has requested that the deadline be November 30, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the preferred method for you to file your request for intervention is electronically, and you will be required to serve the request on other parties by email.

Therefore, please include your own email address on the intervention request.

Instructions for electronic filing via the “PUC Filer” on the Commission's website can be found here: https://interchange.puc.texas.gov/filer. Instructions for using the PUC Filer are available at:

http://www.puc.texas.gov/industry/filings/New_PUC_Web_Filer_Present ation.pdf. Once you obtain a tracking sheet associated with your filing from the PUC Filer, you may email the tracking sheet and the document you wish to file to: centralrecords@puc.texas.gov. For assistance with your electronic filing, please contact the Commission's Help Desk at (512) 936-7100 or helpdesk@puc.texas.gov. You can review materials filed in this docket on the PUC Interchange at: http://interchange.puc.texas.gov/.

If you are unable to file your request for intervention electronically, you may file your request for intervention by mailing a hard copy of your request to the PUC. The PUC should receive a letter from you requesting intervention by the intervention deadline. Mail the request for intervention and 10 copies of the request to: Public Utility Commission of Texas, Central Records, Attn: Filing Clerk, 1701 N. Congress Ave., P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-3326.

All communications should refer to Docket No. 51406.

Two Aggies Among 2020 Cohort for National Fellows Program Farber, Kezar Named to Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research 2020-2023 Cohort Written by Laura Muntean, laura.muntean @agnet.tamu.edu Two students from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Texas A&M University were named fellows in the 2020 Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR) Fellows Program.

C h a r l e s Farber, Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, and Sarah Kezer, Department of Soil and Crop Sciences, are two of 23 fellows selected nationally. .

The program, led by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at North Carolina State University, is a three-year program tailored to doctoral students whose research is in alignment with FFAR’s six challenge areas.

Funding and mentorship are available for those with research in the areas of soil health, sustainable water management, nextgeneration crops, advanced animal systems, urban food systems and

health-agriculture nexus.

Charles Farber Farber, pursuing his doctorate under the guidance of Dmitry Kurouski, Ph.D., assistant professor in biochemistry and biophysics, is utilizing Raman spectroscopy to assess the overarching question of how to feed the world.

“My research examines using Raman spectra obtained from plants to develop statistical models that predict the health/stress status of the plants. In essence, we shoot lasers at plants to see if they’re feeling bad,” Farber said.

Farber is looking at alternative approaches to addressing this global issue of feeding the world by focusing his degree on the applications of Raman spectroscopy for the analysis of plants.

Throughout the fellow’s program, students are paired with industry partners as a source of funding and mentorship.

“One of the most

important parts of the fellows program for me is the idea of establishing connections, both with members of industry and other fellows around the country,” he said. “I would l i k e t o s e e m y l a b ’s primary method, Raman spectroscopy, established as a regular tool in agriculture. Being able to share these ideas with industry leaders and other scientists will help further that goal.”

Following his doctorate, Farber plans to pursue a career as a research scientist for an agricultural company.

“I see myself potentially driving the application of the Raman spectroscopy method for plant analysis for these firms,” he said. “I am also interested in teaching people how to use equipment and troubleshooting, so I may alternatively pursue a career as an application scientist.”

Farber’s research aligns with two of FFAR’s six challenge areas. Raman

detection of plant traits at the seed stage enables rapid software-driven seed selection, accelerating the development of next generation crops. The power of Raman to identify the nutrient content of fruits and vegetables from a quick scan allows the technology to additionally contribute to the health-agriculture nexus objective, he explained.

“Charlie’s research is critically important to develop digital farming in the U.S.,” said Kurouski.

“This modern agricultural concept aims to maximize the crop yield without the expansion of agricultural territories. Charlie’s work demonstrates that timely detection and identification of plant diseases, one of the key aspects of digital farming, can be achieved using Raman spectroscopy.”

Within only three years of his doctorate, Farber has published 12 papers in top peer reviewed journals and also won numerous national and international awards, making his graduate work exceptional a t Te x a s A & M a n d nationwide, Kurouski said.

“I’m very proud to have such an organized and productive student,” Kurouski said.

Sarah Kezar Kezar, studying for her doctorate in weed sciences, is looking to understand the interplay between weed characteristics and the evolution of resistance to inform appropriate integrated management approaches.

“The FFAR Fellowship will equip me with a foundation in teamwork, communications, project management and leader-

K e z a r ’s r e s e a r c h reaches two of the six challenge areas presented b y F FA R , i n c l u d i n g sustainable water management and soil health. Her doctorate focuses on the herbicide-resistant weeds and their effects on the cotton industry. Specifically, she is looking at glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth and its seedbank management as a way to mitigate additions to the soil that directly affect crops through water use and nutrient loss.

“Our research question is to discover integrated strategies for minimizing seedbank additions from Palmer amaranth escapes, which will greatly compliment herbicide-

based tactics used inseason and help improve the longevity of available herbicide tools,” she said.

The strategies evaluated in her research will also support the implementation of zerotolerance management programs for Palmer amaranth in U.S. cotton production. The outcomes of this project are expected to help suppress long-term population growth of Palmer amaranth, reduce weed control costs, and improve economic and environmental sustainability of cotton production in the U.S. “While herbicide resistance is growing, weed control is still possible, even if it may be more complicated,” she said.

Don’t Let Phantom Power Trick You into Higher Energy Usage THE WOODLANDS, Texas – While ghosts and goblins only come out at Halloween, phantom power can haunt your electric bill year-round.

With a few tips and tricks, however, you can scare away unnecessary energy usage.

Phantom power, also known as standby power, vampire power or phantom load, is the energy used by certain plugged-in appliances and electronic devices, even when they are in standby mode or turned off.

The most common culprits include electron-

ics with remote controls, built-in clocks or timers and instant-on features such as televisions, computers, printers and video game consoles.

While it might seem like a trivial amount, it’s spooky how much wasted energy can add up over time and affect monthly utility bills. According to the Department of E n e r g y ’s L a w r e n c e Berkeley National L a b o r a t o r y, p h a n t o m power accounts for as much as 10% of residential electricity usage.

High electric bills can be frightening, but with a

little care and attention, they don’t have to be. Use these tips to keep high electric bills from haunting you. * Vanquish phantom load by turning off appliances and electronics that use power even when you’re not using them.

These “vampires” sit in stand-by mode and suck energy that can add to the cost of your bill. Plug these devices into power strips and turn them off regularly with the push of a button. * Banish sneaky phone chargers and power adapters by unplugging

them and whatever they are charging when not needed. * Trap escaping air from windows and doors by using caulking or weather stripping leaky areas and closing chimney flues. * Ward off witches by lowering the heat on that fiery cauldron (aka water heater). * Scare away ghosts with LED bulbs, which last longer and use less energy than traditional bulbs. * Guard against evil power surges from

lightning or voltage spikes by using surge protectors on expensive electronics and appliances. * ‘Mummify’ your house with new insulation in walls and attics. * E n g a g e t h e superheroes of energy efficiency with the Entergy Solutions program. * Treat yourself to a new Energy Star-rated appliance.

Entergy Texas, Inc. provides electricity to approximately 461,000 customers in 27 counties.
