The #Missouri Department of Natural Resources has begun the rule-making process and are attempting to change the definition of groundwater so CAFOs can build more easily in Missouri.Â
The public comment period for this rule change runs Feb 16th through March 25th.đ§ľ
Please email the #Missouri Department of Natural Resources stating why you oppose removing "perched water tables" from the definition of "groundwater table".
If you submitted a comment in November please re-submit it now as previous comments will not be included for this round.
Email [email protected]
Reference that you are writing in response to a proposed rule change to 10 CSR 20-8.300 Design of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations.
Talking points follow âŹď¸
The rule change is being done to provide a direct benefit to a private applicant (United Hog Systems) that has a permit application pending before the Department.
There is no lawful reason to justify the distinction for the Department to exclude perched water...
...from its definition of groundwater table in regards to CAFOs, while also including perched water in the definition at all other wastewater treatment facilities.
All water bodies in Missouri need to be protected by the Missouri DNR.

1/ Today has brought a lot of news about 'variants', as we discover community transmission of B.1.351 (SA variant) in the UK.
But some of the people who study these genomes have increasingly started focusing on a different concept: 'constellations', which may be more useful.
2/ We're actually all using 'variant' wrong anyway â we're using it to refer to a 'lineage'. A lineage is a set of viruses descended from a common ancestor. All B.1.1.7 (UK variant) viruses descend from an infection that probably occurred in August or September.
3/ But what makes this lineage practically important is that it carries a set of mutations which make it more transmissible.
I.e. we don't really care about the ancestry in itself.
4/ For example, one of the mutations that we think is important to B.1.1.7's faster transmission is called N501Y.
5/ It turns out that a lot of the lineages identified as important recently, in Brazil, South Africa, and the UK, have mutations such as N501Y in common (figure adapted from https://t.co/lpJeW0GGnU)

So We're Already At The 'Chinese Super Soldiers' Part Of The Propaganda Campaign
"Truth, as they say, is the first casualty in war. With its emphasis on global narrative control in lieu of conventional military tactics, this is doubly true of cold
"What we know is that the nationâs top intelligence official says that the US has evidence that China is conducting biological experiments on its soldiers to enhance their capabilities," said CIA asset and reporter Ken Dilanian on a recent MSNBC
"Picture super strong commandos who can operate on three hours' sleep, or a sniper who can see twice as far as a normal person."
~ CIA stooge Dilanian
Dilanian was referring to a claim made in a freakish screed of cold war smut recently published in the Wall Street Journal by US Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe titled "China Is National Security Threat No. 1".

The piece includes an illustration of a red serpent shaped like the Great Wall squeezing the world in its coils, much like the globe-strangling tentacled beasts traditionally used in propaganda to drum up fears of communists and Jews taking over the world.

𧾠Ajaxâs own MPP decided to take a non-essential trip outside of the country while our town moved from Red to Lockdown.
I donât even know where to start on this. Rules for me and not for thee? Financial privilege in action? Getting away from the âplebsâ in Ajax? #onpoli 1/x
My family had plans to travel to Europe this summer, but we knew that it had to be postponed to a safer time. We thought of postponing the trip to now, but decided against it until after vaccinations happened and travel advisories are lifted. #onpoli 2/x
And, by the way @RodPhillips01, as someone eligible to vote in Ajax, let me direct you to this big, bold, red text on Global Affairs Canadaâs website. #onpoli 3/x
Yes, sometimes there may be an urgent need to leave the country (dying family member or other family emergency), but in a year where Ajacians, and indeed all Ontarians, have made so much sacrifice, this feels like a quintuple slap to the face. #onpoli 4/x
While individuals still go to high-risk, close-contact workplaces during âlockdownâ to keep our supply and food chains going, @RodPhillips01 decides to go on vacation. Sounds like another example from a country a few hundred kilometres away. #onpoli 5/x

Paradise Gelato in Cheltenham, received an anti-Asian note.
Directly next door worked Steve Booth, at EmbroidMe.
These 2 shared the same bathroom. Steve didnât like the Asian owner.
Even made an official complaint saying she was dirty.
Steve was in partnership at Embroidme.
Embroidme and Paradise Gelato no longer stand.
The two premises were paid out by the government due to work on the Cheltenham train station.
