Sakoo Tua Dtam (or Sakoo Thua Tam)*
A Recipe of Kasma Loha-unchit

(Click image to see larger version.)
- 1/2 cup black beans
- 1/2 cup small tapioca pearls
- 2 cups, or 1 can coconut milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, to taste (see Cooking to Taste)
- 1 tsp. sea salt, to taste
Pick through and discard any shriveled beans. Cover with water and soak for two or more hours. Bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the beans and return to a boil. Simmer covered over low heat until the beans are tender, stirring occasionally and adding more boiling water if the beans are drying up. When tender, stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup sugar, and simmer a while longer for the beans to absorb the flavorings. [Beans may also be cooked in a pressure cooker, adding the salt and sugar when the beans are cooked.]
When the beans are in their last stretch of cooking, heat 2 cups of water in another saucepan. While waiting for the water to come to a boil, rinse the tapioca pearls in a fine-mesh strainer under running cool tap water until thoroughly wet. Drain and let sit a minute or two for the pearls to absorb surface water, then add to the boiling water. Reduce heat and stir frequently until the pearls clear (8 to 10 minutes). If the mixture becomes too thick, add a little more water to help cook the tapioca until all the pearls are cooked through.
Make a coconut sauce by combining the coconut milk, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Heat and simmer about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
When both the beans and tapioca are cooked, mix them together and pour in the coconut sauce. Stir to blend. Serve warm. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Notes and Pointers
As with many Thai snacks and desserts, the coconut cream topping is salty sweet to contrast with the bottom layer of pudding which is sweeter. The saltiness makes the cream taste richer; the cream is not meant to be eaten by itself, but together with its sweeter companion.

Fifi and the cage - update
She got a little bit used to being in a cage sometimes, I took her eggs out of the nest and even put a fresh, different color towel inside the nest(to make her feel is a new one lol) and she loved it❤
Yesterday afternoon she had a surprise for me inside the nest, a new egg(do they lay eggs so often?)
And now she is really relaxed staying on her egg or going down for food and water, and of course having some time out of the cage and she even goes back in the cage to sit on her nest ❤ I think a second egg is on his way.
Btw what do you do with the abandoned eggs? Is it strange I want to keep them? They are so small and cute, cannot simply throw them away😄

Diaries & Journals | Immigration Reports | Illustrated London News | Trivia | Frequently Asked Questions
by Geraldine Bonner
The Californian novelist describes with graphic accuracy the stirring scenes at the wharf when ships sail for the Klondike.
The reports of the terrors of Chilcoot Pass, combined with the lateness of the season, have turned the attention of the Klondike argonauts to the sea route. This is by steamer to St. Michaels, at the mouth of the Yukon, and thence by steam or gasoline launch up the river to Dawson, a trip of some five weeks in length.
Vessels northward bound have been leaving San Francisco for the last month, notwithstanding the gloomy prophecies of those who know the country. Predictions are rife that many of these expeditions will be frozen up all winter between St. Michaels and Dawson, that the boats will run a good chance of being broken by the ice pressure, and the passengers must face the possibility of starving.
The ticket costs $300, or $350 from San Francisco to Dawson, with, in most cases, a guarantee to furnish provisions at $2 a day per head if the expedition is detained in the river by early frosts.
The prospect of wintering in a small launch, packed like cattle, on an Arctic river, fed upon the sort of provender a coasting steamer will carry for an emergency supply, has not damped the ardor of the new argonauts. The traditions of 49 still survive in California, and the making of the great pioneer fortunes is the romance that the Californian is bred up on.
But the hardships of those who crossed the plains in '49 are said to be slight in comparison with what the Klondike emigrants may expect from hunger and cold. Meantime, ship after ship weighs anchor and, sunk to the gunwale, puts out to sea with her load of human freight for the conquest of Fortune.
The departure of one of these vessels is like a general water-front picnic. The first ships went with a show of method and punctuality. But later ones, lured to risk the journey by the demands for transportation, have gone with a fine disregard for time or tide.
Passengers have sat on their luggage on the wharf for two days while the stevedores packed the freights in a rambling and irresponsible manner. The vessel advertised to go on Monday at 4 P.M. is lucky if it gets off on Wednesday at the same hour. Yet a universal air of good humor and gaiety prevails. The gold-seekers are determined to go off bravely, and hope keeps up their spirits.
The Humboldt, a large lumbering coast steamer, fitted up in a few days with extra accommodations, and deep in the water with her immense load, was only twenty-four hours behind her time of leaving.
At four o'clock, the hour advertised for her departure, the dock was crowded with idlers and passengers, and almost impassable with freight and personal baggage.
Sufficient for the word to pass that this old man in the fur cap was a passenger, or that group of ugly, pale-faced women were going to open a boarding house in Dawson, for a crowd to collect about them and general conversation to ensure. The travelers told their plans and hopes to the gaping circle, and it answered back offering suggestions and advice.
Behind and around outsiders scrambled and pushed to see what was going on. Sweating stevedores roared orders at each other, and brushed back the people from the freight they carried away piece by piece.
Confusion, good-humored but terrific, prevailed. A few men in the caps of officers jostled about, shouting at each other, yelling at the stevedores and writing between whiles in note books. But the crowd ruled things, walked over everything, sat on everything, climbed upon everything, and jeered and offered advice alternatively.
At four o'clock the wharf was deep in freight all along where the Humboldt lay.
Personal effects were arranged in large piles upon which the owners sat. A Klondike outfit is a serious and extensive matter. There were old-fashioned trunks roughly corded, and newly bought trunks gleaming in varnish and brass, many solid wooden chests such as sailors use, and long bags of white duck, stuffed to the mouth, which was drawn up with a rope and tied.
Shovels and picks, miners pans and saws of all sizes laid between boards and strapped together were a part of every outfit. Provident parties had laid in supplies of flour, of candles, of kerosene, of cottolene, of canned goods, and many square wooden boxes which bore the names of grocery firms.
The Arctic wardrobes lay on the top of the heaps. They consisted mostly of long rubber boots, winter flannels, snow stockings, such as are worn with snowshoes, big fur coats, jackets of flannel and corduroy, lined with leather, and fur caps or "Klondike helmets," as the shops call them now.
Almost every outfit included a small sheet-iron stove, which came to pieces and folded together in a box. Back and around all this lay the ship's own stores, sacks upon sacks of onions and potatoes, which the crowd found useful as seats, the disjointed iron carcasses of what looked like half a dozen ships' boilers, hundreds of boxes, and in the background a good sized launch, standing on a truck.
This launch had to be squeezed in somewhere, since it was what the passengers were going up the Yukon in.
Though it was obvious the Humboldt would not sail that night and probably not the next day, a hilarious, irresponsible sort of good humor prevailed. The travelers were almost all in a state of feverish high spirits.
A good many of the men had been taking a farewell tipple, and glassy-eyed and gay, stood in circles of glassy-eyed friends and talked of the great times coming. Most of them were fine looking fellows, strong, red and beefy, good men to fight the fight of the pioneer.
Upon some of the heaps of baggage women and children sat roosting, and these little parties did not look so joyful. Only the small boys, in their Sunday suits, enjoyed their importance, and told the loungers they "weren't going up till the spring. It was too cold now for the baby. But they'd come down to see popper off."
There were not many women passengers; and they were distinguished neither by youth nor good looks. One elderly woman, pale and delicate, as though she had arisen from a sick bed, sat on the largest pile of luggage on the wharf, with a young girl beside her. The girl was the focus of many glances as the future belle of Klondike, and the next great American heiress to be scrambled for by European nobles.
She was about fourteen, fat, freckled, sandy-haired, but with a jolly, bright face and a pair of shrewd, honest eyes-upon the whole a first-rate looking girl, and very much the type of the bonanza heiress of California.
At six o'clock the Humboldt was still placidly resting at her moorings, the wharf still breast-high in freight, still thick with people, the legend still passing from mouth to mouth that it was to sail that night. The next night at seven it did weigh anchor, which was not so bad for a scratch Klondike tramp.
The North Fork's record of departure was not so creditable. Is[sic] was advertised to sail on Wednesday at two, and did so on Friday at twelve.
"Are you certain the boat will leave at that hour?" was asked the clerk at the office.
"It may be a little later," said this accurate person, "because the passengers are not always on time."
The stories of what might befall the augonauts who went to Dawson by sea had been spreading, and the North Fork's sailing drew as large a crowd as a popular première. At two the people were flocking over the cobbles and up the wide-shadowed length of the dock, at the end of which an apex of turquoise sea appeared, and which oscillated as with an earthquake under the wheels of immense drays.
The North Fork, a small coasting steamer, of that kind that go up rivers in the East, was already low in the water. From the lower deck to the roof of the cabin a bulkhead had been raised, and this was filled in, level with the cabin top, with coal.
On top of that sacks of potatoes and onions were tied, the contents only restrained from breaking forth by a lacing of cord. Two cranes were at work at bow and stern lowering freight into the hold.
And the usual number of black-faced, perspiring men were rushing hither and thither carrying at one time raw sides of beef, at another rolled-up mattresses, then sacks of flour, pieces of iron, sides of bacon, canvas bags bulging with their contents, trunks, fur coats-anything they happened to find in their way.
The confusion was worse than at the leaving of the Humboldt, for the crowd was greater, the vessel smaller, and the attempts to maintain system or order even more disregarded.
Every few moments trucks drawn by immense dray horses thundered up the wharf, the driver roaring for gangway. There was a pushing and scrambling to either side, the hind wheels were backed fiercely into the heart of the crowd, and the load of luggage thrown on the planks. The owners jumped out on top of it, and the officers and stevedores closed in upon the pile, whence a great shouting and cursing arose.
The truck went rumbling away, to be met by others, roaring in, which in their turn backed and wheeled and stamped a way outward and inward, the drivers swearing at each other in friendly volubility, while their long whips hissed over the backs of their horses.
The departure of the North Fork was regarded as an occasion of special interest, since several sensational people were advertised among the passengers.
A lady who was to take a piano, a trick horse and a St. Bernard dog were looked for but not found. An actress who had had a lively divorce suit and was going to Dawson to open a dance hall, was another interesting figure who did not materialize. One family brought on a large supply of stringed instruments in nicely made, new cloth cases; but whether they were for the furnishing of a dance hall or merely the means of recreation of a musical party, was not known.
More women seemed to go this time than on any of the previous expeditions. The youngest female passenger was a little girl of three; the eldest, the mother of a family of ugly daughters who were going to open a boarding house in Dawson-"grub-stake" the boarders-and make a fortune.
They were plain, red haired, small and neat; all wore sailor hats and blue frieze coats. The enormous quantity of personal luggage they surrounded spoke well for the comfort of their future home. They had rolls of mattresses and blankets and coverlets, fur coats and capes, a pile of small trunks, several of the duck, sausage-shaped bags, a pail with a year's numbers of one of the ten-cent magazines-the first library for Klondike, a wicker rocking chair and half a dozen telescope baskets.
They fixed their cabins, two on the afterdeck, while the crowd sat high on sacks of potatoes and looked in enviously. Such cabins as they were! A child could not have stretched itself out in the upper berth. And the blankets and the chair and the mattresses and the fur capes overflowed to the deck among the coal and the potatoes. The red-haired girls looked at the cabins and then at the luggage, and began to realize what it was to be pioneers.
This North Fork ship will bring civilization into Dawson. For, besides music and ten-cent magazines, it carries a barber's outfit. The chair was packed in a wooden case, and was owned by a thin, sickly young man in corduroys. When the moment arrived for putting it in the hold a hitch arose; the officers and stevedores argued with the young man, the shouting waxed high, and it looked as if Dawson was going to be deprived of its tonsorial establishment. But the excitement simmered down, and the chair was hoisted in one of the hammocks and dropped down into the hold.
Most articles that were out of the common run seemed to create disturbance. A miner's pump, an elaborate affair, after being the subject of fierce argument, was intrusted to a boy to carry aboard, and midway on the narrow gangplank came apart and dropped its upper half into the sea. The boy looked rather foolish, but carried on the remains.
At six o'clock there was a rumor that the vessel would not go till seven the next morning, and the crowd, feeling hungry, began to thin. All the families en route for the diggings had packed themselves away in their contracted quarters and prepared to stay there. Two days afterward they were still lying at the wharf.
Finally, however, the North Fork did weigh anchor and dropped down the bay, towing behind her the Mare Island, for the trip up the Yukon.

Jennifer Sletvold sworn in as Northampton County judge
Northampton County Judge Jennifer Sletvold
(Express-Times File Photo)
According to those who've weighed in on the matter — the state ethics board, the district attorney, the president judge — there's no conflict of interest in attorney Robert Sletvold serving as Northampton County's chief public defender while his wife, Jennifer Sletvold, is one of nine members of the county bench.
Robert Sletvold has been nominated by county Executive John Brown to oversee the public defender's office, and his qualifications are evident — a former assistant prosecutor, a defense attorney, a go-to defender for indigents when the public defender staff runs into conflicts. His appointment is subject to confirmation by county council.
Likewise, Jennifer Sletvold received a strong vote of confidence last May, when county voters gave her the Democratic and Republican nominations for judge, ensuring her election.
And there’s no questioning that Brown, the first Republican executive in Northampton County in 16 years, has won the right to reshape the county administration through appointments. There’s no problem there, either.
But there are reasons to reconsider the chief public defender choice.
One is that Northampton County should be avoiding even an appearance of conflict on court-related appointments — especially considering the state Supreme Court’s revision of the judicial ethics code, announced last week. Among those changes is an advisory against placing relatives in court positions, stating that hiring for administrative jobs should be merit-based, and judges “shall avoid nepotism, favoritism and unnecessary appointments.”
The letter of the code doesn’t apply to the Sletvold appointment because he has been selected by a political leader, not a judge. Yet it’s always been clear that in court hirings and oversight, appearances matter. Keeping a court free of the perception of favoritism is critical to maintaining public confidence in its impartiality, fairness and independence from political influence.
More to the point, though: If a newly elected judge must adhere to a “hand-offs” policy on the majority of criminal cases that come before the court, why erect such a firewall if you can avoid it? That’s essentially the solution the court has devised. Judge Sletvold will not be assigned cases involving the public defender’s office, which means she will deal mostly with civil cases.
There’s also the law of unintended consequences. In the criminal cases Sletvold is cleared to handle, what happens if a defendant switches from private counsel to public defender in the middle of a case? Or if an appeal comes back with a change in legal representation?
People experienced in court proceedings have taken up these issues and said they can be navigated — among them president Judge Stephen Baratta and District Attorney John Morganelli. We defer to them on these judgments. Yet the Northampton County bench has had a long-standing tradition of requiring judges to share the load of criminal and civil assignments equally, rather than allowing judges to specialize in one or the other. Is that changing?
These are not questions of personal or professional integrity, but of the process itself.
Robert Sletvold’s nomination is scheduled to be discussed and voted on by county council next week. Support for Sletvold appears to be lining up along party lines, but it shouldn’t be treated as a partisan issue. This deserves a full public airing on the propriety and practicality of having a married couple as judge and chief public defender, and the extent to which the court and administration will have to go to avoid conflicts.
Brown said he selected Robert Sletvold because he is experienced and ranks highly among those who work in the courts. No one’s arguing that point. Minority Democrats on council should defer to the executive on qualified appointments — even if they might be bristling at Brown’s housecleaning in other areas, such as the solicitor’s staff and the sheriff’s office. A mandate for change in leadership arrived with the November election; voters opted for a Republican sweep.
Our courts are expected to transcend partisanship, outside conflicts and even the appearance of favoritism. If maintaining those standards means passing over the best-qualified candidate for a court position, that’s what the council should do.

Gilsonite roll bitumen is known commercially as gilsonite and is one of the most widely used minerals in the road construction industry. Wholesale gilsonite which has many applications in drilling and painting, as well as in industry, and has become very popular. Gilsonite, a hydrocarbon found in southern Turkey, softens in petroleum products and has been used for asphalt on roads and highways.
What Is Gilsonite Roll Made Of?
Natural bitumen and refined bitumen are different and there is a hard part called oil coke and oil coal, and if the oil is paraffin, they do not make it because of the high paraffin and low viscosity. Bitumen can increase or decrease the quality of the amount of gray in it. Many bitumen manufacturers in the world produce bitumen in atmospheric purification.
Crude oil is heated after transfer and liquefied again after evaporation. The heaviest crude oil that accumulates at the bottom of the distillation tower and the different parts of the oil have different weights that are separated from each other. Bitumen lumps are produced and used in various sizes.
Bitumen membrane sheet has a high maturity and is very popular in the Iranian market. The price and quality of this product are different, and it is called hardened crude oil. They are also used to loosen and tighten products. It has high adhesion and high resistance to oxidation
Where Is Gilsonite Roll Used?
Purchase and supply of direct natural bitumen isogum and natural bitumen with excellent and unique quality in very suitable packages is being done all over the world. The manufacturer of this product has considered a very reasonable price for buyers due to the production costs of natural bitumen. The quality of these products is excellent and is a commercial and international commodity.
The price of gilsonite in fiberboard bitumen is very good and it has good discounts due to the elimination of intermediaries and profiteers. By selling this product directly, it reduces inflation. The market equilibrium is stabilized and the false price increase disappears.
There are a large number of natural mines, a large number of which are extracted every year, of which Iranian bitumen has a small amount of ash. This means that the natural setting of any area with low ash is better, and the softness, sulfur, and oxygen in bitumen are important in measuring its quality. Due to the large amount of Iranian oil, its products, such as bitumen, have a hot production and sales market. Iran is one of the few countries that has high reserves of natural bitumen. It is among the different provinces of Iran. The southern provinces of the country are among the richest provinces in terms of natural bitumen reserves
gilsonite roll wholesale market reviews
Bitumen or Gilsonite roll Market Share is used in many fields such as asphalt, as fuel for kilns, isogum, varnish, pavement and paint, and to use it, one must pay attention to the type of consumption. A viscosity material such as bitumen does not have a specific softening point.
It measures the test hardness or softness of the bitumen in terms of penetration expressed in millimeters. Bitumen materials should not be too vulnerable to temperature. In the hottest weather of the region, the bitumen mixture should not make the bitumen too soft or unstable.
In cold weather, this compound should not be too comfortable and brittle and cause cracking. Black solid bitumen is used on “asphalt” roads and is used as an adhesive, roofing sheet, paint, waterproof and sealant, mortar and of course in asphalt. Bitumen sticks to almost anything, even polyethylene. Bitumen emulsified in water is usually acidic, sometimes severely adding to handling problems and limiting its use. This is not the case with other bitumen products. The bitumen used as an adhesive can be separated from the non-porous surface with heat solvent. Hot bitumen is used on the floor to glue the carpet.

Release date: 06/06/2013
Indie Pop Rock & Alternative
“Nataly”, lyrics and melody by Vincenzo “Vins” Cortese, a young italian songwriter at his first release of all times. Vins chose Gerolamo Sacco to produce this song, and Gerolamo fell in love for this strongly mediterranean music taste, which for him is something like a…foreign country’s music. So they worked together: Vins sang, Gerolamo did all the other stuff, the great Maria Vittoria Moia plays acoustic guitar, perfectly sampled to obtain a big solo (more than 2 minutes), that closes the song together with the dreamy accordion melody. Something really different from some metal things…;) and a release that goes so far from our catalogue standards, too. Electropop, yes, but smelling like sun, sea, southern skies, with a pathos that all italians all around the world..really appreciate! A curiosity: on Youtube there is a short 3 minutes version, while on iTunes, Amazon and others two versions of the same song: a longer one and the entire/original uncut 7 minutes trip. Enjoy!

Remembering the victims 70 years ago
Today is the official day of remembrance for the deportation of the Russian-Germans from their homelands in the Volga, the Black Sea, the Caucasus and other areas west of the Urals to Siberia and Kazakhstan. It has been 70 years since the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet issued Ukaz 21-160 ordering the deportation of all ethnic Germans from the Volga German ASSR, Saratov Oblast, and Stalingrad Oblast. Please take a little bit of time today to observe a moment of silence in honor of the hundreds of thousands of innocent Russian-Germans that perished from Stalinist repression during the Second World War.

David Koller was born on 27 September 1960 in Prague and is a Czech rock singer, composer and drummer.
He is one of the important musicians of the middle generation of Czech bigbeat. The author of many now classic hits, he became most famous as the leader of the rock band Lucie, where he worked from 1987 to 2005.
He also performed in other rock bands (Kollerband, Pusa, Žentour, Jasná Páka, Blue Effect) and was also a music producer (Koistinen, Alice, Plexis, Oskar Petr, Walk Choc Ice, Lucie Bílá). Together with Michal Dvořák they composed the music for the films Amerika (1994), Poslední přesun (1995) and Mrtvej brouk (1998).
He has performed in the films Pražákům, těch je tu hej (1990), Akumulátor 1 (1994), and has guested with a number of bands and performers (Pražský výběr, Turbo, Žlutý pes, Hudba Praha, P. Habera, H. Vondráčková, R. Müller, Anna K. and Miro Žbirka). He surprisingly left Lucia in November 2005 due to disagreements with his bandmates Robert Kodym and P.B.CH., only to reunite after almost ten years.
He uses a Furch 12-string guitar or a Godin 6-string.
He also worked as a concert drummer in the band Chinaski. This was after the tragic death of drummer Pavel Grohman when the band was scheduled to tour. Koller was Grohman's drumming role model.
Together with artist David Černý and filmmaker Alice Nellis, he was behind the creation of the MeetFactory cultural centre, which opened in 2007.
Koller's son Adam is also a drummer and sometimes plays in bands with his father.
His latest album, LP XXIII, was released on 24 February this year.

Inspiration on a Muddy Road
The Volunteers in Medicine organization has been changing lives since 1993 when a retired physician saw a need for a free clinic for the disadvantaged. Today, 87 VIM Free Clinics operate in 28 states, including three in Mississippi.
Dr. Jack McConnell, a pediatrician and renowned medical researcher, thought he would retire in 1989 and spend most of his time playing golf. With his wife, Mary Ellen, they settled into a beautiful golfing community on Hilton Head Island, North Carolina, to enjoy their “golden years.” It wasn’t long, however, before Dr. McConnell found the life “bored him silly” and he asked himself, “Is this all I have left?”
Shortly thereafter, his next endeavor began to take shape. While driving on a muddy, rutted road one rainy morning, Dr. McConnell picked up a hitchhiker. As they talked, the man revealed that he and his wife were expecting a baby, and Dr. McConnell asked, “Where do you and your family get healthcare?”
“We don’t,” replied the man, “we can’t afford it and have no insurance.” In the coming weeks, the doctor picked up five more hitchhikers and received the same answer to that question. He knew then that he had to do something to help.
Dr. McConnell soon discovered that surrounding his affluent community was another large community in which more than one-third of families had no access to health care. He began by rallying his golfing buddies, also retired physicians, and together they recruited medical and non-medical volunteers and raised funds to open a Volunteers in Medicine Free Clinic in Hilton Head in 1993. Today, the clinic is staffed by a rotation of more than 600 volunteers and provides more than 30,000 patient visits per year.
Furthermore, the Hilton Head Island VIM Clinic sparked a movement that has spread across the country. There are now 87 such clinics in 28 states, serving over 95,000 patients. Across the Mid-South, VIM clinics are thriving and meeting the needs of thousands who had previously gone with little or no healthcare. Three are in Mississippi: Oxford, Meridian and Gautier.
Through the Eyes of Patients
Linda Brown of Oxford hasn’t met Dr. McConnell, but her life has been profoundly impacted by his caring heart, his vision and his action.
“It has been a godsend for me. I’m 62 and still working, but my job as a CNA (certified nursing assistant) doesn’t provide insurance and I don’t make enough to pay for it myself,” she said. Linda has multiple health issues, but until the Clinic was established, her conditions were going untreated.
“Now,” said Linda, “I can get what I need. And, it’s a place where everybody is treated with dignity. It makes you feel like you count for something. So, you can hold your head up and still accept the help.”
This atmosphere of respect is endemic to VIM clinics and is referred to as “a culture of caring.” It is the essence of every interaction and has an impact on everyone. In Linda’s words, “Because the clinic has been such a blessing to me, I want to give back too. As soon as I can retire, I will volunteer to help out there myself!”
In Gautier, patient Steven C. knows he owes his life to the VIM clinic there. Steven came to the clinic to receive some test results and was sitting comfortably in the waiting room. Suddenly, he felt severe chest pain, his arm went numb and he had trouble breathing. The staff noticed his distress and quickly called 911. He was having a heart attack and was taken to the hospital by ambulance and immediately into surgery.
“I would have died if it wasn’t for them,” said Steven. “I wouldn’t be here today if it was not for all the good work they do.”
A Volunteer’s Experience
Libby Bounds, a 66-year-old retired schoolteacher in Meridian volunteers every week at the Meridian VIM clinic. She has seen the community’s perception of the clinic change.
“At first, some people thought it was another hand-out. It’s not at all,” she said. “This is for people who would fall through the cracks without it. Lots of them work but the insurance premiums would cost more than they make. Some had good jobs and good lives but then got sick and couldn’t work and couldn’t get any healthcare. They don’t qualify for Medicaid and aren’t old enough for Medicare – so they had nothing.”
Sometimes a former student will come to the clinic. “At first, they might be embarrassed,” she said, “but it’s like family there. Now, they are comfortable and just appreciate the help.”
“My very favorite job at the clinic is when I get to call patients to tell them they have been approved for services. The absolute joy in their voices is incredible! Some have cried – they are that thankful,” she said. “As a schoolteacher, I didn’t get to hear that kind of joy very often and I love it!”
A Medical Director’s Perspective
Dr. Lee Valentine, Medical Director at Meridian’s VIM Clinic sees how the clinic enriches the lives of everyone involved.
“For myself,” he said, “I have been blessed to do what I love all these years – to care for the health of people. Along the way, people gave their time to teach me and help me along. Now, I want to give back.
“What I saw happening,” he continued, “was a trend of people using emergency rooms because they had no primary care. That’s a very bad place for your primary care. No preventive care can be given, and it creates an overuse and misuse of the ER, which makes costs go up for all. By providing a way for patients to receive primary and preventive care, conditions can be discovered before they become catastrophic.”
Dr. Valentine stressed that the entire community is needed to make the program work. Churches host fundraisers, clubs donate paper goods, corporations provide grants or supplies and medical partners provide lab services, x-rays and pharmaceuticals.
“They do it,” he said, “because they get it – they understand the concept, see the results and want to be part of it. It is definitely a win-win for all involved.”
This commitment to community service is being passed along to a new generation of physicians. Through Dr. Valentine’s efforts, family practice residency students who wish to “moonlight,” or work outside the program, must donate time to the VIM clinic.
“At first,” he said, “they might fuss and groan, but they come away with a completely different attitude. They actually see the impact they have on people’s lives and it means a great deal to them. Invariably, they end up feeling they are getting more out of the experience than the patients are.”
Like most others involved with Volunteers in Medicine Free Clinics across the country, Dr. Valentine has never met founder Dr. Jack McConnell. However, he has great appreciation for what he has created.
These words from Dr. McConnell have become the credo of the national Volunteers in Medicine organization because they express so beautifully the spirit that fuels everything:
“May we have eyes to see those rendered
invisible and excluded,
Open arms and hearts to reach out and
Healing hands to touch their lives with love,
And in the process heal ourselves.”

Not taken action on Monday night were the appointments to the Paris/Lamar County Health Board, where six of the seven members were ineligible for reappointment because they had served long in excess of the recent new policy limiting board members to two successive three-year terms.
The city on May 31 appointed Dr. Rick Erickson, Dr. William George, Dr. Mark Gibbons, Dr. Keith House, Dr. Lav Singh and Kristi Martin. Holdover member is Bill Strathern.
The Lamar County Commissioners had a problem with the appointments, with some feeling the current board should stay on.
Monday morning, by a 3-2 vote, the commissioners court went along with the city’s appointments.
County commissioner Lawrence Malone and County Judge M.C. “Chuck” Superville voted no.

Paris city councilman Matt Frierson was named the council’s liaison to the Paris Economic Development Corporation on Monday night.
He replaces John Wright, who was the liaison for 2011-2012.
In all, committee liaisons were chosen for 13 committees. Their role is primarily as an observer so they can provide background to the council when a committee issue comes before the council.
The appointments are the mayor’s to make, but Mayor AJ Hashmi asked for each council member to volunteer for committee berths that he or she desired.
The process resulted in the following liaison appointments:
ArkTex Council of Governments — Mayor AJ Hashmi, Dr. Richard Grossnickle and Cleonne Drake.
Visitors and Convention Center – Sue Lancaster
Airport Advisory Board – Dr. Richard Grossnickle
Paris/Lamar County Health Board – Dr. AJ Hashmi
Band Committee – Cleonne Drake
Historic Preservation Commission – Matt Frierson
Buildings & Standards Commission – John Wright and Sue Lancaster
Library – Dr. Richard Grossnickle
Traffic Committee – Aaron Jenkins
Zoning Board of Adjustment – Sue Lancaster
Main Street Advisory Board – Cleonne Drake
Planning & Zoning – Sue Lancaster

Arvin Starrett, whose name is synonymous with historic preservation efforts in Paris, said an emotional farewell on Monday as he presided over his final meeting of the city’s Historic Preservation Commission..
Starrett, 54, is leaving the board because of a recent change in city policy that limits members of city boards and commissions to two successive three-year terms.
He is the only chairman the HPC has known over its decade of existence.
“My thanks to all who have served or are serving on the commission over the past decade. Parisians who visit downtown find a much different place than that of 10 years ago,” Starrett said in a Facebook post on Sunday. “What a joy it has been to help to see that our ‘place’ will matter for future generations!”
Monday’s final meeting with the commission was a bittersweet day for Starrett.
After Starrett guided the board through a short agenda that included approval of a new sign for the downtown Farmers Market, the final item was the commission’s recognition of Starrett’s service to the board.
He had some prepared remarks for his exit, and he choked up several times. Early on, he paused for about 15 seconds before composing himself enough to continue.
“It’s been an honor to serve on this commission since its inception, and to see the wonderful things that have taken place in our historic neighborhood,” said Starrett, who is owner of Starrett Funeral Home.
“Our efforts have not been without struggle. I shall never forget the litany of public hearings and some of the more colorful characters who appeared in protest. It’s been reassuring to see many of those who had fears of what might happen become active proponents of our efforts,” he said.
“Building after building have been stripped of inappropriate façade and restored to its original grandeur,” he said. “The commission has played a part in restoration efforts on our downtown Culbertson Fountain and the complete restoration of the Peristyle in Bywaters Park.”
In closing, Starrett asked that everyone who follows on the Historic Preservation Commission remember four things:

The Paris City Council tonight will discuss what to do about properties throughout the city that are overcome in weeds and high grass — and never get mowed unless the City of Paris itself does it.
City manager John Godwin has come up with two options for turning things around, and Mayor AJ Hashmi says he has a suggestion as well.
“Clean-up of the city is of grave importance to me,” Godwin told members of the council in a June12 workshop, during his first month on the job.
“Unless you provide a clean-looking city, it will appear that the people here do not care, and industry will not want to come here,” he said.
Like most other Texas cities, Paris has established certain standards for property maintenance. If a property owner fails to meet the standards, he is notified of the violation and given time to being the property into compliance.
Many property owners do in fact comply, but many others do not, Godwin noted.
In such cases, the city typically abates the nuisance itself.
This usually amounts to city workers mowing a property, or contracting with a private company to do the mowing. Once work is complete, the city bills the property owner for the work, including an administrative fee – which amounts to a sort of fine.
The council will be presented three options tonight, one of which is to continue under the present policy, in which the property owner is given no flexibility on payment of the code liens.
Godwin is opposed to that.
“The city has got to come up with ways to get some these properties back on the tax roll. If the city just keeps mowing these lots forever and you keep piling liens on them forever, nothing’s going to change,” city manager John Godwin said in a recent interview with eParisExtra!
“We have to do something to get property in the hands of private property owners who are going to take care of the property. Whatever we can do to make that happen, I’m for.”
Human nature is for the city to insist that the property owner pay for the work that city workers did to maintain the property.
“You want to get your money back, but sometimes those liens get bigger and bigger and bigger, and it gets in the way of things,” Godwin said.
“Sometimes, it makes sense to say, ‘You know what, if you’ll pay 10 cents on the dollar, we’ll get rid of the lien so you can start mowing this every week instead of us going on forever.”
Flexibility with the code liens might help the property sell and return to the tax roll and productive use, Godwin said.
In other places he has worked, Godwin said, he “just made those decisions on my own” to provide a property owner an option that might help the property to sell and return to the tax roll and productive use.
One of the two options to allowing the liens to grow is for the council to authorize the city manager to waive any or all of owed amounts as the specific situation dictates, Godwin said.
A second option for the council, the city manager said, is for the council to reserve that right for itself on a case-by-case basis.
Hashmi agrees the city should do what it can to get these properties back on the tax roll, but he has a problem with either the manager or the council deciding on a case-by-case basis which liens to write off and which to not write off.
“Someone will complain that the manager ‘wrote this person’s lien off, but not mine.’ Neither do I want to be in the position of being told, ‘You know, this was Dr. Hashmi’s friend, and all of his liens got waived, and mine didn’t.’
The mayor said he would like an ordinance that would spell out when liens on a property could be forgiven, giving the property owner incentive to sell the property and get the property back on the tax roll.
Hashmi does have a proposal for the 115 properties the city already owns as a result of having seized because of non-payment by the owners of liens and taxes.
He would like for the city to offer for sale at public auction all 115 of the properties – “taxes abated and clear of all liens,” provided the owner keep the property for at least one year.
To discourage someone interested in buying property cheaply, then turning around and selling to someone else for a profit, Hashmi said he would propose that the liens be put back on anyone selling within the first year.
“Also, the lien will be put right back on if you don’t comply with city code,” Hashmi said.
Neighbors would have the right of first refusal.
“If there are two or more neighbors interested in the property, the bidding would be limited to them. If the neighbors are not interested, then it goes to a public open auction,” Hashmi said.
“The property must go onto the tax roll immediately for the amount of the purchase price at auction, but buyers would be rewarded for any improvements.
“The reward would be, if you build on that property – suppose you build a house or whatever — you will be given the money back that you paid for the lot. If you bought it for $250, you would get that $250 back,” Hashmi said.
“Further, for five years, you would have an abatement for five years on any improvements made. For five years, you would pay taxes only on the lot, not for what is built on it,” the mayor added. “The abatement would go to the first owner of the property for the first five years.”

The economics profession in twentieth-century America began as a humble quest to understand the ""wealth of nations."" It grew into a profession of immense public prestige--and now suffers a strangely withered public purpose. Michael Bernstein portrays a profession that has ended up repudiating the state that nurtured it, ignoring distributive justice, and disproportionately privileging private desires in the study of economic life. Intellectual introversion has robbed it, he contends, of the very public influence it coveted and cultivated for so long. With wit and irony he examines how a c.

Learning to Establish Healthy Personal Boundaries
Establishing healthy personal boundaries for ourselves can feel counterintuitive due to cultural and social preconceptions. There is a common notion that by not setting boundaries people are somehow “good” or “loving” because they are less likely to upset those around them. In reality, boundaries are vital for our self-preservation and personal well-being. By avoiding the short term discomfort of establishing healthy boundaries we often cause more harm to ourselves and others. However, when we express our thoughts and feelings with integrity and honesty we create and maintain authentic, meaningful and healthy connections.
To reframe how we perceive the concept of boundaries, we must first understand that setting boundaries does not make us selfish or mean spirited. Healthy boundaries are necessary for our mental, spiritual and physical health. Of course, the well-being of those around us is important too, however, the expectation that we must continuously sacrifice our own needs to demonstrate the length and breadth of our caring is unhealthy. Instead, we should challenge our preconceptions, and consider if our main mode of operation is to avoid conflict with others at all costs, rather than face the discomfort that accompanies personal growth.
Recognizing Unhealthy and Healthy Boundaries
Establishing healthy boundaries is an important aspect of taking care of ourselves and building strong, healthy relationships with others. Often we are left to wonder if we are justified in our thoughts and feelings, leading to internal confusion, and making it difficult to identify where there is a legitimate need for boundaries. If we struggle to speak up when we are mistreated, feel guilty for dedicating time to ourselves or often express agreement with others when we disagree...we are signaling to ourselves and others that we lack personal boundaries. Conversely, when we talk to ourselves with gentleness, humor, love, and respect it is a sign that we have set healthy boundaries.
Other common signs of unhealthy boundaries can include:
Not noticing when someone invades your boundaries
Going against personal values or rights to please another person
Letting others direct your life
Letting others describe your reality
Talking at an intimate level at first meeting
Accepting food, gifts, touch and sexual contact that you do not want
Other common signs of healthy boundaries can include:
Communicating your wants and needs (and recognizing that you may be turned down but you can ask)
Noticing when someone invades your boundaries
Noticing when someone else displays inappropriate boundaries
Maintaining personal values despite what others want
Saying no to food, gifts, touch and sexual contact that you do not want
Trusting your own decisions
Establishing healthy boundaries can improve our self-esteem and self-worth which form the driving forces behind positive life experiences. If we do not establish personal boundaries we feel drained and depleted. Running on empty can only get us so far in our journey.
Establishing Healthy Boundaries Through Therapy
When we have not been educated in the art of navigating our emotions, therapy provides a solution. Yes, establishing healthy boundaries can feel uncomfortable, but the process empowers us to make positive changes, the benefits of which last a lifetime. We can establish healthy boundaries in many important areas of our lives, including eating, work, and social habits. It is also important to provide ourselves the necessary space to recharge, we can achieve this by setting clear boundaries around our free time. Much progress can be made in these areas when we are given a warm, supportive, and safe environment to express our thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
By working alongside a therapist it is possible to identify healthy and unhealthy boundaries in ourselves and others to encourage positive change. We can then work toward establishing our own healthy personal boundaries in a safe and non-judgemental space. Sometimes we are met with resistance by loved ones during this process which can cause us great pain and confusion. We must still remain accountable to our boundaries rather than disregard our mental, spiritual and physical needs. In this instance, a therapist can help us to reach an understanding of others' realities so that the self-healing process can continue.

Phytogenics are a family of additives with some considerable history. In fact, phytogenics have been around for a couple of decades under various names: essential oils, plant extracts, botanicals and now, phytogenics.
We are used to considering fiber in terms of crude fiber or other similar quantitative terms, but modern nutritional thinking wants to separate fiber into its functional properties, namely solubility and fermentability.
Phenolic compounds have attracted a great deal of research interest in human nutrition and medicine during the last decade. Nevertheless, animal nutrition still lagged behind in recognizing phenolics as an interesting field of potential feed additives.
Fiber technology is emerging as the new frontier in monogastric animal nutrition, but due to the diverse nature of fibers, there is an increased need to understand their technical aspects before using them in animal feeds.

“Inclusion and integration are the key to combat radicalisation leading to terrorism. As direct representatives of citizens, Parliamentarians have a special responsibility to work within their communities, promote dialogue, understanding and inclusion”, PACE President said today addressing in Saint Petersburg the International Parliamentary Conference on Combating Terrorism co-organised by the Inter-parliamentary Assembly of the CIS Member States and the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly.
“While reassuring our citizens, we should also denounce the populist discourse and any attempts to use and misuse the security rhetoric to divide our societies further. Populist rhetoric may play in the hands of terrorists. We should not allow this to happen”, Pedro Agramunt stated.
The President highlighted four areas of action where parliamentarians should concentrate their efforts to defend democratic societies against the terrorist threat: reaffirming publicly and in the strongest possible terms the absolute condemnation of all acts of terrorism, combating it while respecting human rights and the rule of law standards, developing further legal arsenal to combat terrorism and addressing the root causes that lead to violent extremism and radicalization.
Pedro Agramunt described the #NoHateNoFear initiative as a priority activity for the Parliamentary Assembly. Since its official launch, in June 2016, it has gained the support of many parliamentarians, Heads of State, Ministers, high officials, including the Secretary-General of the United Nations, as well as citizens with personal experience of terrorism, like Antoine Leiris, Luciana Milani, mother of an Italian victim of the Bataclan attack, or Bjorn Ihler, one of the survivors of the Utøya attack. “They overcame their trauma with reinforced conviction of the values of humanity and democracy. Their experience is a strong motivation for us to continue, while putting a special emphasise on the need to protect the victims of terrorism”, Mr Agramunt concluded.

Mousehole (pronounced "Mowzel") is just one of the numerous fishing villages you'll pass through along the Coast Path. Dylan Thomas described it as the loveliest village in the UK and it’s said that the village was inspiration for Thomas’s Under Milk Wood.
Mousehole doesn’t fail to impress with its picturesque harbourside setting, narrow streets and thick set fishermen’s cottages.
Along the harbour road you’ll find galleries, gift shops and restaurants while in the harbour itself there’s a safe sandy beach at low tide popular with families. The village is famous for its Christmas lights which illuminate the harbour in the depths of winter and for Tom Bawcock’s Eve, a traditional pre-Christmas celebration commemorating a local hero who saved the village from famine by bracing the stormy seas to bring back fish for the starving villagers. Locals mark the event by baking the famous Stargazey Pie made with mixed fish, egg and potato with fish heads poking out through the crust.

Most parents will experience several emergencies while their kids are growing up. From trips to the doctor with high fevers to a broken bone or two, these events are often unavoidable parts of childhood. Along with these common emergencies come potential dental care issues that may require immediate action. Below, Pediatric Dental Group in Honolulu, HI, shares three childhood issues that should make you consider heading straight to your pediatric dentist.
What Childhood Dental Care Emergencies Could Parents Encounter?
1. Bleeding Gums
When your children brush their teeth, do their gums bleed? If so, don’t panic. The cause may be as simple as using a brush with too-hard bristles, or your child may have a periodontal disease that is weakening the gum tissues. Call your regular pediatric dental care provider to see if they think you should bring your child in for a checkup.
2. Tooth Trauma
There are many potential ways your kids can traumatize their teeth. Common causes run from sports injuries, bike accidents, or tripping. Tooth trauma ranges from a chipped or cracked tooth to the loss of permanent teeth. In the event of tooth trauma, go to your children’s dental care provider right away. They’ll assess the damage and provide a solution to mitigate pain and further damage.
3. Teeth Pain
As children gain their baby teeth and then again transition to their permanent set, they are going to experience some pain. Parents can help ease the ache with warm washcloths, iced teething toys, and pediatric medicine. However, if tooth pain occurs suddenly or is extreme, call your dentist for assistance.
Good dental hygiene can prevent some dental emergencies, but those sudden cases of tooth trauma, pain, or bleeding can require immediate dental care. Call Pediatric Dental Group at (808) 593-8828, or visit the website to learn about their unique child-friendly environment and pediatric dentists who can help with both immediate dental needs and regular care.

Two images taken on a crisp Christmas Day. The recent snowfalls had covered Arran in a good layer of snow. With my wife busy making the Christmas dinner and my son having disappeared upstairs to his xbox, I decided to get out for an hour to try and get some pictures. This is Ardrossan North Shore looking towards Arran.
This is a view from Ardrossan Harbour looking through the breakwater towards Arran.
We decided to take a trip down the Sleat peninsula. We spent some time exploring the ruins of Dunscaith Castle or more properly known as Dun Sgathaich (Dun of the Shadow).
The view over Loch Eishort towards the Cuillin was well worth the trip too. This is a three image panorama.
Once again Cameron has provided the video including my crossing of the damaged entrance to the castle.

If you’re wondering why the Canadian men’s national team seems to constantly be going through difficulty and turmoil, it’s worth considering the state of the squad’s player pool.
For fans of many national teams – the US, for example – a member of the player pool is considered to be “doing well abroad” if they’re constantly starting and contributing to a high-profile team in one of Europe’s top leagues. In the Canadian context, a player meets that threshold simply by being on the roster of a European team. Contributing, or even playing, regularly? Well, those are bonuses.
To be fair, making it in Europe is extremely difficult for a Canadian player, even one with great skills. But suffice to say, when Canada head coach Benito Floro looks across the pond for options, he needs to look a heck of a lot harder than Jurgen Klinsmann does. Here's some of what Floro has to consider this week:
After not being included in Canada’s roster for a friendly against Australia last week, goalkeeper Kenny Stamatopoulos had a fine performance, posting a clean sheet Monday to help lift AIK to second in the Swedish table. Next door in Norway, fellow ’keeper Lars Hirschfeld made only his second start in 27 matches for Valerenga on Sunday – and posted a 2-1 victory.
After winning high acclaim for his performance against Australia, David Edgar (above) made a cameo appearance in the waning minutes on Saturday for Burnley, who posted their sixth straight league win and sit top of the English Championship table. Could a return to the Premier League be in the cards for Edgar?
Fellow defenders Andre Hainault (VfR Aalen, Germany) and Marcel de Jong (Augsburg, Germany) also came on as subs for their clubs over the weekend, while Roger Thompson – who has played for Canada’s U-20 side, but never the senior team – put in another full-90 performance for IFK Mariehamn in Finland.
Youngsters Michael Petrasso and Dylan Carreiro got their first taste of the Canadian senior team when they took part in training camp ahead of the Australia friendly. On Monday, they were right back into it for Queens Park Rangers’ U-21 side, both starting in a 3-1 loss. Daniel Stanese, the other newbie at Canada camp, was an unused sub for FC Augsburg II on Sunday.
Up front, it was a goal-starved week for Canadians (as it has been for the national team as of late) – Daniel Haber (Apollon Limassol, Cyprus), Frank Jonke (FF Jaro, Finland), Marcus Haber (Notts County, England), Olivier Occean (FC Kaiserslautern, Germany) and Tosaint Ricketts (Bucaspor, Turkey) all saw some action, but none could find the back of the net.
Erstwhile Canadian phenom Simeon Jackson found himself off the matchday roster for Eintracht Braunschweig for the second straight week, while nouveau Canadian phenom Lucas Cavallini was an unused sub for Nacional (Uruguay) for the second straight week.


Kids are like sponges in that they absorb anything and everything around them and store it, then later expel that knowledge and information out when they feel like it's time to wring their brains a bit. The problem is that the overwhelming majority of them still haven't developed that little internal filter that stops them from saying something that could traumatize the person on the receiving end and get everyone to throw shade at their parents for doing nothing more than pushing their kids to be honest at all times.
Often times, it's just a funny little thing that you write off, but every now and then it's catastrophic. We haven't been kids for so long that we can't even remember what it was like experiencing the world through their eyes. Sure, you might've known Mrs. Danvers next door for the better part of thirty years or so, and you might also know that Mr. Danvers passed away some time ago. She plays with your kid when you're out and he says high, but once the spawn starts putting words together, you become at risk of having them change your dynamic with her forever. Kids will comment on anything; wrinkles, where someone's husband/wife is, why they live alone, why they smell 'bad,' and pretty much anything and everything else you'd like to see someone else's kid inappropriately ask someone just to see the shocked look on their victim and the extremely panicked and apologetic one on their parents. While there are no formal studies that have been done on the subject, it wouldn't be all that surprising to find out that the reason our parents took embarrassing photos of us while we didn't know any better was to simply put us through the same shame we put them through once someone we don't want to weird out comes to visit.
Raising kids is the right kind of difficult because they're constantly testing their boundaries, which means they're also constantly testing your patience. And in the journey that is growing up, kids tend to say and do things that are a little outrageous...because a clear line hasn't been drawn yet for most social situations. Which, inevitably leads to them saying some rude as hell things. So these people hopped on Twitter to share their stories of the rudest things children have ever said.

- Mohan Delkar was found dead in a hotel in Mumbai last month
- Mumbai Police said postmortem confirmed death by hanging
- Maharashtra government's move came after calls for proper probe in case
A Special Investigation Team has been formed to probe the death of Independent Lok Sabha MP Mohan Delkar, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Desmukh said in the assembly today. Mr Delkar, a father of two, was found dead in a hotel on Mumbai's Marine Drive last month. The Mumbai police said the postmortem investigation has confirmed death by hanging and a suicide note had been found in the hotel room.
The Maharashtra government's move came after multiple calls for proper investigation in the case.
The Congress -- part of the Shiv Sena-led government in the state -- has demanded a judicial inquiry. The 58-year-old was a seven-time MP from the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and headed the party unit there before quitting in 2019 and contesting as an Independent.
According to Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera, Mr Delkar earlier wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and other senior leaders, flagging the "harassment" he was facing at the hands of the administrator Praful Khoda Patel and other officials of Dadra and Nagra Haveli.
The party has questioned why the Centre had not acted when he repeatedly raised the issue of "harassment".
The 15-page suicide note found in Mohan Delkar's hotel room in Gujarati had named some people, but the police have not revealed details.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has said that he will request Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah to direct the authorities in Dadra and Nagar Haveli to cooperate with Mumbai police in the probe.

For the report to the process of the DIN EN 50001-certification Verallia Deutschland receives the DIN-Award in the category „Best Practice“.
With the early introduction of the DIN EN ISO 50001 2012 standard, Verallia Deutschland is probably one of the first companies to carry out the certification shortly after the standard was published.
The DIN EN ISO 50001 helps organizations build systems to improve their energy efficiency and their energy-related performance.
In the implementation of the der requirements of the DIN EN ISO 50001 standard it was important for Verallia Deutschland to carry over and improve existing structures, instead of establishing new processes that are poorly anchored. For the successful implementation and integration of the standard into the existing system Verallia Deutschland is being awarded the “Best Practice” DIN award.
