"To feed a growing population and protect our planet, we need to celebrate and elevate farmers who are adopting sustainable agriculture practices and caring for the land while feeding the world. This will incentivize outcomes that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve and protect water quality, like the Soil and Water Outcomes Fund, of which Cargill is a founding member, say Cargill officials. Understanding the financial pressures farmers are facing, Cargill will help connect farmers to cost-sharing options and support the development of new market-based solution, say Cargill officials. Through the initiative, Cargill will work with partners and other stakeholders across the supply chain to provide farmers access to technical and agronomic resources that support yield and profit objectives, training opportunities, support with data collection for benchmarking, and visibility to the needs of downstream consumer-facing companies. “By supporting adoption of soil health principles with our farm partners, we can build healthy soils, increase resiliency and profitability, and ensure their success and the viability of their land for future generations.” “The land is a farmer’s most valuable asset - key to their livelihood and productivity,” added Sirolli. While pockets of regenerative agriculture systems exist in North America, there is a need to more rapidly scale soil health practices so that nature and people – including farmers – can reap the benefits. Investing in soil health principles is how agriculture can help enhance farmer livelihoods while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving water quality, and increasing drought resilience.” “When farmers adopt practices, and ultimately systems, such as reducing or eliminating tillage and adding cover crops, we can help mitigate climate change and protect water resources while improving the resiliency of the soil. “At Cargill, we view agriculture as an opportunity because we know agriculture is how we’ll ensure a safe, responsible, and sustainable food system,” said Ryan Sirolli, Cargill sustainability director for row crops, in a Cargill news release.

As for the rest of the allied nations and the commonwealth forces, they are not entirely pushed out. This new chapter brings in three main factions, namely the UK, US, and German forces.

She apologizes, passionately kisses him good night, and directly invites him to sleep with her, to no avail. She agrees, but once she touches him, he again panics and rushes out. When she tries to take off his swimming trunks, he insists that she turn off the lights first. Once in the bathtub, she starts kissing him. However, he decides to wear swimming trunks. At first, Philly objects, but she keeps sweet-talking him until he finally gives in. She requests him to rub her back and then invites him to remove his clothes and join her in the bathtub. While searching, he is surprised to find her in his father's bathtub. After a game of tennis with Sherman, Philly looks for Nicole but does not find her in her room. Next morning, Nicole invites Philly to visit her at night. He shares the story with his best friend Sherman. He panics and leaves, but not before thanking her. However, when a fully nude Nicole invites Philly to touch her, it proves too much for him. One night, after spotting Philly peeping into her room, she tells him to come inside and, to his utter shock, starts undressing in front of him. He frequently uses his binoculars to observe her through windows, deliberately walks by her when she is sunbathing beside the pool, and rides his bicycle past her room. When Nicole goes out shopping, he sneaks into her room and touches her underwear. Resenting her initially, Philly later becomes infatuated. Nicole playfully teases Philly for his constant learing at women. The young man is left in the passing care of Nicole Mallow, a French housekeeper, and Lester Lewis, the family's chauffeur.

This is a dispirited crew and the body language in this sequence is critical viewing - fidgeting, hair- (and beard-)pulling, face-rubbing. It’s enough that he has an 18-month-old at home and a significant movie role weighing on him, but this is a different man from the week before. Thanks to the series, we can see the extent to which Ringo looks completely cooked. The initial sequence in the Day 8 segment in Get Back - that is, the first 9 of those 18 minutes, prior to John’s arrival for lunch - in reality accounted for more than two hours of audio on the Nagra tapes. We know more than we did before, the visuals adding unimaginable depth to moments previously available only by audio, but the show’s presentation opens more questions. More than 50 years after film and audio captured its events, January 13, 1969, served a significant role in opening Part 2 of the 2021 Get Back docuseries, occupying 18 drama-fueled minutes, perhaps the entire program’s emotional core. There was no music at all for hours after the first members arrived. Paul didn’t start the morning alone at the piano. January 13 was different than the others in so many ways. Twickenham Film Studios served as the Beatles’ office for seven working days. John was always last to the sessions, anyway. John Lennon was missing to start the day, too, but he never announced he was leaving the band. He walked out on the Beatles twice in three days - January 10, 1969, from a rehearsal, and 48 hours later from a meeting - no small feat. That exchange happened after Paul showed up, nearly an hour after Ringo arrived to rehearsals, despite the assurances of the remaining Beatles to show up around the same time that Monday morning.Īs it stood, Neil Aspinall didn’t expect anyone to show, according to director Michael Lindsay-Hogg. ![]() “It’s good you sort of said to come to work,” said Ringo Starr on January 13, 1969, in response to a conversation he had with Paul McCartney the night before.

I may be mistaken but maybe they were wearing bee costumes or bright yellow ones? Maybe? But I hadn't really heard that song before at the time and I thought they were saying 'fill me up buttercup' and I was thinking it was in reference to bees getting nectar. Only a few people mention that they remember that too, and most people dismiss it as being the musical number 'Tongue Tied'. I knew of Red Dwarf and watched many episodes, and was shocked to see such an odd musical number. It saw it on US TV (not a VHS tape) around 1989-1990 or so. ![]() ![]() I distinctly remember watching the members of the show doing a musical number to the song 'Build Me Up Buttercup' I think as an intro to the show. ![]() I was Googling yesterday about Red Dwarf and the song Build Me Up Buttercup and came up empty.
