We started avoiding this exercise. First we purchased a worm farm. This was fine for adding kitchen waste until it was full then we built a couple of brick enclosures for the overflow material. Then it was decided to split the kitchen waste into those things that interest chickens and those that don't. The chicken valuables were put into the chicken run and the other into the brick enclosure.
The brick enclosure was fine except it didn't heat up and kill the seeds and the rats and mice enjoyed its presence.
The weeds from the vegetable garden were dropped into a wire mesh enclosure and every year or so we would harvest the broken down material at the bottom. This required moving the non broken down material into another enclosure. Worse still the woody, sticky bits stayed woody and sticky and made it difficult to clean out.
We also acquired some compost tumblers. Very handy. Just fill with the right blend of material and tumble it each day. Remembering to tumble each day was a bit of an issue. Maybe that is why we never achieved the brochure's stated result.
Then we came full circle. After re-reading Eve Balfour's "The Living Soil" we were inspired once more and I retreated to the place that Jean calls the “The Shed of Inventions” returning after a few days with two demountable NZ Compost Bins. Each 4 feet square and a little higher. All made from scraps of hardwood gleaned from various projects.
The first compost we made was fabulous. Everything broken down and the weed seeds heated into oblivion.
The best part of this was that we learnt to build the compost over a few days and time it with when we performed a major weeding or tree pruning. If we ran short of green material it was just a matter of mowing a bit of lawn. Mulch hay is always in stock and easy to access for the brown material. Any pots or conatainers where vegetables had grown and were now redundant had their valuable soild incorportared as one of the many layers. A whip around with the wheel barrow resulted in either some chicken litter or cow manure and if desperate we just usd blood and bone.
Making compost has now become a pleasurable and easy task not some thing to dread. The other sttractiveness of the NZ Compost was it only needs to be turned once. In fact you can get away with no turning but the outside few inches doesn't break down. But by having two bins side by side it only takes 30 minutes to move it from one to another.


According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 61 million Gen Z’ers will prepare to enter the workforce in 2018. These are the post 1996 babies who’ve grown up with Smart phones in their hands, and technology at their fingertips. And while pay and job satisfaction will be the most important deciding factors for prospective employees, benefits that help individuals better balance work, health, and family will be critical for this generation.
In fact, in a recent Glassdoor Employment Confidence Survey, more than half of those asked said that employer benefits definitely influenced their decision about whether to accept a job opportunity from a particular employer. Most surprising however, was that 80% of respondents said they would rather be compensated with additional benefits over a raise in pay.
Some top-rated corporations including, Starbucks offer perks like the Starbucks College Achievement Plan that covers the cost of a Bachelor’s degree. Others including Google, offer yoga classes, and massages while SAS grants scholarships for children of employees.
Not all prospective employees view benefits the same, however.
As noted in the Harvard Business Review, studies suggest there are differences between men and women and how they prioritize company benefits.
Here’s how the top 10 rank in order of importance, for both sexes.


Council adopts 2020 goals and policies
While the agenda wasn't chalk full of discussion, public comment or agenda items during the Feb. 4 City Council meeting, the council moved forward with two important items: the bag fee and the 2020 council goals and policies.
Amending the bag fee ordinance
The council moved to enact an ordinance that amends city code to repeal existing language and replace it with identical verbiage as the state law set forth by House Bill 2509 — a sustainable shopping initiative requiring retailers and restaurants to provide customers with reusable or recycled paper bags, and to charge a minimum of 5 cents per bag.
The only difference is that Lake Oswego increased the bag fee for all retailers to 10 cents.
Setting goals for 2020
The City has a final set of goals and policies for the new year. The council unanimously adopted the 2020 council goals and policies during the Tuesday night meeting.
"I wanted to thank City Manager Martha Bennett for a beautiful document," said Council President Jackie Manz.
The rest of the council echoed that gratitude and expressed pleasure with how the goal setting retreat went last month.
"This is one of the greatest directions we've gotten from a brainstorming session," Councilor John LaMotte added.
The Council agreed on 19 major initiatives under eight different overarching goals.
The eight goals are: "Support business investment and job creation in Lake Oswego;" "increase the diversity of people serving on City Boards, Commissions and Committees and employed by the City of Lake Oswego to meet the needs of all of the City's residents;" "protect natural resources in a changing climate; Support strong operational practices and fiscal policies that increase public trust in the City;" "invest in Lake Oswego's basic infrastructure to ensure reliable and cost-effective services for residents and businesses;" "invest in Lake Oswego's high-quality parks, natural areas, and recreational amenities;" "improve transportation connections, mobility and safety for all types of trips in Lake Oswego and reduce automobile congestion;" and "plan for future population and business growth to conserve the community's character and quality of life."
Stray council notes
Lake Oswego resident Debbie Craig announced that the Hallinan and Black Properties at the top of Cornell Road near Luscher Farm were for sale and encouraged the City to consider buying the properties. She said if the City were to purchase the two parcels, it would provide an important role in connecting the Willamette River to Tualatin River Path.
LaMotte expressed interest in having staff learn more about what's happening with the Hallinan Property. Mayor Kent Studebaker said they will discuss this at a later date.
Also during the council meeting, Councilor Theresa Kohlhoff, who is part of the Oregon Department of Transportation Region 1 Area Commission on Transportation , shared news that the state plans to pursue tolling on I-5 in Portland and on I-205 near the Abernethy Bridge. She said the tolls would likely go into effect in 2023 — though there was no information on the cost.

Live Video of the Day: The Staves – Tongue Behind My Teeth (Black Cab Sessions)
Posted by falconi5 on September 1, 2013
Another entry into the Kin-Folk genre of bands with sibling harmonies front and center, the Staves may be the best of the lot. Like First Aid Kit and the Pierces, they are a sister act with perfect harmonies, great looks, and immense talent. Their album Dead & Born & Grown is one of the best of the year.

Exploring Treatment Options
Significant progress in diagnosing and treating cancer has been made in recent years. New classes of drugs, drug strategies and combination treatments have changed how doctors approach this disease. As a result, more options are available, offering patients hope for living longer.
Your treatment plan will be based on many factors: whether you are newly diagnosed or are experiencing a recurrence; the presence of symptoms; your overall health; the aggressiveness of the cancer; and your goals of treatment, which often include curing the cancer, controlling tumor growth and pain, and improving your quality of life. Your doctor will look at the characteristics that make your diagnosis unique, such as your staging and pathology results, the presence of biomarkers and the potential response to certain types of treatment.
Depending on your diagnosis, it may benefit you to seek out a specialist, especially if you have a rare type of cancer or one that does not have many available treatments. Specialists are typically leaders in research and more aware of cutting-edge treatments, including clinical trials. If a specialist is not nearby, you can request that one consult with your local oncologist. The second opinion is valuable, and it is wise to gather all the information you can.
The goal is for you to receive the best level of care possible. For that to happen, the treatment plan you start with may change if test results or symptoms indicate the need. Your doctor will monitor you regularly, and you will be responsible for communicating with your health care team and keeping follow-up appointments.
Treatment plans often include one or more approaches.
Surgery is the primary method for treating a solid tumor. Removing it may offer the best chance of controlling the disease and preventing it from spreading, especially for people with early-stage disease. Your doctor may also perform a surgical procedure to stage the cancer or to relieve or prevent symptoms that may occur later.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors. Other uses include targeting specific parts of the body for localized disease or bone pain, and giving it prior to a stem cell transplant. It may also be delivered as neoadjuvant therapy to shrink tumors before surgery and as adjuvant therapy to kill remaining cancer cells after surgery.
External-beam radiation therapy (EBRT) delivers radiation from a machine outside the body (see Figure 1). Types of EBRT include three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy. A newer type of radiation called proton therapy uses charged particles called protons.
Brachytherapy, also called internal radiation therapy, uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires or catheters placed directly into or near the cancer. Radiation may be delivered at a high dose rate over several hours or at a low dose rate over a longer period.
Alpha emitter radiation therapy uses radiopharmaceuticals, which are drugs that give off targeted radiation, to suppress cancer in the bones and reduce pain.
Systemic therapy may be given through an IV into a vein or a port in your body. It may also be given as an injection (shot), subcutaneously (injection under the skin) or orally as a pill or liquid. The goal is to destroy microscopic cancer cells thought to be hiding in other organs of the body (such as the liver, lungs, bones), and these treatments therefore lower the risk of future metastatic cancer.
Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill rapidly multiplying cells throughout the body. It is typically delivered in cycles, with treatment periods followed by rest periods to give your body time to recover. Chemotherapy may be used alone or with other drug therapies and forms of treatment, such as stem cell transplantation or chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, a type of immunotherapy.
Immunotherapy stimulates your immune system to find and attack cancer. This strategy trains the immune system to respond to cancer, giving it the potential for a response that can extend beyond the end of treatment. Different types of immunotherapy approved to treat the types of cancer are discussed in this guide. Some are used alone or with other therapies.
Targeted therapy kills cancer cells or stops the progression of disease. The drugs travel throughout the body via the bloodstream looking for specific proteins and tissue environments to block cancer cell signals and restrict the growth and spread of cancer. This therapy targets genes, proteins or other substances that support the tumor. Some of these drugs may be given alone or in combination with other drug therapies. Different types of targeted therapy may be available depending on your diagnosis.
Hormone (endocrine) therapy blocks the stimulating effect of hormones. It slows or stops the growth of cancer and is used because hormones that occur naturally in the body promote the growth of some cancers. Both drug treatment and surgery can function as hormone therapy.
Corticosteroids are drugs that can help reduce inflammation and may offer other benefits. They can be used alone or in combination with other drug therapies.
Bone-modifying drugs can treat bone problems caused by some cancers and therapies. These drugs can also prevent further bone damage from occurring.
Active surveillance, also called watchful waiting or watch and wait, may be recommended for very slow-growing cancers. Postponing treatment allows you to avoid potential treatment side effects for as long as possible while your doctor closely monitors you for signs that active treatment is necessary. Regularly scheduled imaging tests and blood tests will be crucial. Treatment should begin as soon as cancer progression occurs.
Stem cell transplantation, also known as bone marrow transplantation, is an infusion of healthy blood stem cells into the body. The two main types are autologous (auto) and allogeneic (allo) transplants. An auto transplant uses the patient’s own stem cells, which are collected, filtered, processed and frozen. Chemotherapy and sometimes full-body radiation (conditioning) are given to destroy cancer cells. The reserved stem cells are thawed and infused back into the patient’s body. An allo transplant uses stem cells donated by a family member or unrelated donor. It may be used for patients with a high risk of relapse, those who are not responding fully to other treatments or those who have relapsed disease.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may be used to treat a tumor that is inoperable or when surgery is not an option for another reason. The minimally-invasive, image-guided procedure kills cancer cells by inserting a needle through the skin directly into the tumor and running electrical current through it to subject the tumor to extreme temperatures. Other types of therapy include microwave ablation (MWA) and cryoablation, also called cryosurgery or cryotherapy.
Plasmapheresis may be used if the blood becomes too thick. It uses a machine to filter plasma out of the blood.
Clinical trials are medical research studies that may offer the opportunity to try an innovative treatment before it is widely available.
Terms to know
You will hear many new words and phrases. These definitions will help.
Adjuvant therapy: Additional cancer treatment given after the primary treatment to lower the risk that the cancer will come back. Adjuvant therapy may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy or biological therapy.
First-line therapy: The first treatment used.
Local treatment: Directed to a specific organ or limited area of the body and includes surgery, radiation therapy and topical therapy (a lotion or cream that is applied to the skin).
Neoadjuvant therapy: Treatment given as a first step to shrink a tumor before the main treatment, which is usually surgery, is given. Other examples of neoadjuvant therapy include chemotherapy, radiation therapy and hormone therapy. It is a type of induction therapy.
Second-line therapy: Given when the first-line therapy does not work or is no longer effective.
Standard of care: The best treatment known for the type and stage of cancer you have.
Systemic treatment: Typically drug therapies, such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy, that travels throughout the body.

Most of my Christmas and birthday celebrations were celebrated in Lagos state and one place that often comes to mind would be a “Beach”. Being on a beach with my family and friends is a great way to bond and share beautiful memories.
Because Lagos is a city of beautiful beaches, it is, therefore, possible to visit beaches located in different parts of the city. Beaches are located in Badagry, Island, Epe, etc.

(Marietta, Ga. – Oct. 10, 2013) While the decorations of the season call for pumpkins and bales of hay, Chattahoochee Technical College’s Interiors students got into the holiday spirit a little early. The students in the Interior Design Club volunteered to help decorate the Cobb Civic Center for the annual Mistletoe Market.
“It was a great chance for the club to participate and transform the space into a holiday wonderland,” said Instructor Ginger Burton. “The event is the Junior League of Cobb-Marietta’s largest fundraiser of the year.”
Students unloaded boxes of decorations, set up trees, hung garland and added creative touches to complete the winter atmosphere. Additionally, the club members showcased their talents by sponsoring a tree. Using a theme of “Feathering the Nest,” the team used peacock feathers and associated colors. The tree was decorated by re-purposing interior design and architectural samples of paint swatches, fabric cuttings and laminates. The group also handmade ornaments and filled the tree using a minimal budget.
The club’s decorating talents will be on display at the Mistletoe Market, a three-day shopping event, which hosts merchants from the greater Atlanta area and beyond who showcase the latest trends in apparel, accessories, jewelry, children’s clothing, holiday gifts, home and garden décor, and gourmet foods. The 2013 Mistletoe Market is being held at the Cobb County Civic Center and open to the public on Thursday, Oct. 10 through Saturday, Oct. 12, 2013. Shopping hours are from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday; 9:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Friday and 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Offered at the both diploma and degree level, the Interiors Program provides a foundation for career opportunities in such areas as the retail sector, architecture and design firms, sales of specialty products, visual merchandising and in several niche areas. Both options provide education in the basics of design fundamentals, color theory, floor plan arrangement, window treatments, material selection, drafting and drawing and lighting. There is also an emphasis on business practices for entrepreneurial students wanting to start a business after graduation. Students focus on both presentation and technological skills before taking part in internships within the industry.
As a part of their studies, students have offered suggestions for enhancing the Pickens County Chamber of Commerce building, designed the new interior for the Community Bank of Pickens County, presented re-designs of the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce and the rental space of the Earl Strand Theatre in Marietta, provided consulting services to the Bartow County College and Career Academy, remodeled the Appalachian Campus Student Center and participated in both the Bent Tree Tour of Homes and the Woodstock Holiday Tour of Homes.

I'm not sure it's even "lack writing talent". Their target audience likes this smarm. We just aren't the target audience. It's more accurate to simply say I find the culture they're rooted in repulsive, and their tastes abhorrent.
Although this thread is a textbook example of how tastes can differ. Like every single thing Non-Edgy Gamer says about DOS1 relative to DOS2 and BG3 I feel the exact opposite. I found the writing in Divine Divinity and DKS charming, it just gets worse over time as it gets more... "modern", and DOS2, the moment where they hired a bunch of gaming journos and dangerhairs and were inordinately proud of demoting their lead writer was the moment where the wheels fall off for me and I lose all interest in their writing whatsoever. It was so bad I never really got far into DOS2, because I couldn't take anything seriously, not even in the funny Larian way.

A lot of people don’t realize just how important it is to have a solid second option at quarterback.
One need only look at the end of last season, when Nate Costa was lost to yet another knee injury. The Ducks coaching staff was much more conservative with Darron Thomas, since there was no viable option to turn to had he gone down.
Or in 2009, when the Texas Longhorns lost Heisman Trophy candidate Colt McCoy on the first drive of the national championship game, they were never the same offensively. Or that same season, when Sam Bradford went down against BYU in Oklahoma's first game of the season. Neither team was the same after.
My great fear is that, should a major injury arise, the season could slip just like 2007, when Dennis Dixon went down and the Ducks limped to the end of the season with three consecutive losses.
If something were to happen to the starter Thomas, hold your breath, folks. The Ducks would need to be ready to go with the next available guy. That looks like it'll be Bryan Bennett, who is the current second-string QB. It's vital that Bennett get as many reps as possible.
Without a solid second option, a season can spiral out of control very, very quickly.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
The best thing we can do with waste is not to produce it in the first place! Reducing our waste by not producing so much is something each one of us can do. As consumers we can use our purchasing power and choose products which are produced sustainably, use little or no packaging and are durable. Buying only what we really need also helps to reverse the trend of today’s throw-away society.
Repair broken appliances, donate old clothes to charity and trade or swap unwanted items at community recycling events or online exchange sites.
Reuse means passing something we no longer want on to others, or giving an item a new lease of life as something completely different. Either way, reusing our waste can save us money and help the environment, by reducing the amount of rubbish we produce.
Check out NIRN's information and video on Repair Cafes, which features local group, 'Hands That Talk', based in Dungiven.
If you'd like to find out about volunteering for a Repair Cafe, Causeway Volunteer Group has opportunities for Fixers & Menders (Repair Cafe).
What can you do?
Charity shops sell second-hand goods which would otherwise be thrown away. Anything that can’t be sold is recycled if possible. Every household has at least one item of clothing or a book perhaps which is no longer needed. These items can be of tremendous value to the charity concerned, raising much needed funding but they can also become items of value to another person or household. It is better to donate items directly to the charity shop rather than leaving them on the doorstep for collectors.
If you don’t want to give them away, try one of the internet market sites allowing someone to make use of items you no longer need.
With the average baby going through approximately 5,000 nappies, why not switch to modern, reusable cotton nappies, which now come with liners and Velcro fastenings? Reusable nappies are better for the environment and once you have bought a set they will last your child until they stop using nappies. They are also good for your pocket and could save you around £500.
Visit http://www.goreal.org.uk/ for more information.
Recycling has the following benefits:
- It keeps waste out of landfill sites. By reducing, reusing and recycling items we save valuable resources instead of burying them in the ground. This also helps to cut down the number of landfill sites we need and combats climate change by reducing the greenhouse gas methane, which is produced by organic material rotting in landfill sites.
- It saves energy, resources and helps reduce CO2 emissions. Recycling uses less energy than producing new items from scratch. Recycling an aluminium can for example saves 95% of the energy needed to make a completely new can and because we don't have to extract, refine, transport and process the raw materials we also cut CO2 emissions, industrial water usage, and air and water pollution.
- It helps to protect natural resources. Recycling reduces the demand for raw materials and provides industry-ready materials without the need for mining, quarrying or logging. Most everyday products can be turned into new things allowing us to use waste materials again and again. Aluminium can be reused indefinitely without losing quality!
- It helps to create jobs. Recycling is good for the economy and represents one of the fastest growing business sectors.
- What can you do? There are extensive opportunities to recycle waste at home using your blue recycling bin, food and garden waste brown bin.

Samsung Galaxy buds are fantastic wireless Bluetooth headsets. I would not say the same when they first came out, but now after years of software updates, My Samsung Galaxy Earbuds work really well. I connect my galaxy buds to the laptop and it works and pairs without any issue. This guide is a step-by-step guide on how to connect galaxy buds to Chromebook.
Pairing galaxy buds to Chromebook is very easy and the process is identical to connecting buds to your iPhone or Galaxy phones. The UI is a bit different and there might be some issues you might need to troubleshoot to get your Chromebook to detect your Galaxy Buds.
How To Connect Galaxy Buds To Chromebook
If you are facing any issues while connecting Galaxy Buds to Chromebook, please refer to the FAQ section. In case you are facing any other issues, please leave them in the comments and I will try to find a fix for that issue.
Put the buds back in the case and close the lid. If you have any other devices that might be paired to the buds previously, make sure Bluetooth is disabled on them. Galaxy buds has this weird issue where if you have another paired device, your Chromebook won’t detect it.
On your Chromebook, open the settings page. Either you can click on the time on the bottom right corner of the screen and click on settings or press “Alt” + “Shift” + “S” together on the keyboard.
If the Bluetooth is turned off, click on the slider to turn it on. Once Bluetooth is enabled on the Chromebook, click on it to open the list of Bluetooth devices.
Open the lid of the Galaxy Buds case but leave the buds in the case.
Now, wait for the Buds to appear under “Unpaired devices”. The name might be different on your end, click on “Galaxy Buds(773A)” and wait for the pairing process to be completed.
Note: If there are more than one devices listed that looks like the Galaxy Buds, always connect to the device named as “Galaxy Buds(***)” and not “Buds***”.
Once the pairing is completed, the Chromebook audio should start playing from the GalaxyBuds.
That’s how to connect galaxy buds to Chromebook.
Now let’s look into some issues you might run into while pairing Buds to your Chromebook. Like mentioned earlier, any issues except the ones listed in the list, please leave in the comments so I can look into the possible solutions for them.
If volume levels are too low on your buds, you can read our guide to fix low volume on your Galaxy Buds.
FAQS – Pairing Galaxy Buds To Chromebook
1. Chromebook is not detecting Samsung Galaxy Buds
Assuming there is no issue with Bluetooth on the Chromebook, Samsung buds sometimes won’t be able to communicate with other devices.
One of the main reasons is that you probably have another device that the buds have been paired to and used. Even though the buds are not connected to that device, if that device has Bluetooth turned on, the Buds will constantly look for and try to connect to the recent devices it was connected to.
The solution is to just not have any devices that have Bluetooth features on them and if there are, you need to make sure that the Bluetooth has been turned off on that. This can be another iPad, phone, laptop any device with Bluetooth functionality.
2. Why won’t my Bluetooth headphones connect to my Chromebook?
If you have previously connected your earbuds to the Chromebook before but now it won’t reconnect, you can reset galaxy buds completely.
Open settings and toggle Bluetooth “On” and “Off” and try and see if the headphones connect.
Worst case, you will have to repair the headphones to your Chromebook. This applies to any wireless headphones and not just Galaxy Buds.
If you want to repair or rest galaxy buds, put them in your ears and press on both of them with your fingers. Press and hold for at least 10 seconds until you hear a constant chime.
On the Chromebook, remove the Galaxy Buds previously paired and look for the new Buds that appear on the unpaired list.

Retain Europort income locally
A call to retain all income from Rosslare Europort within the county was made by Cllr Tony Dempsey at the monthly meeting of Wexford County Council last week.
In a motion Cllr Dempsey said in order to facilitate the proper development of Rosslare Europort and to enable the port to realise its full economic potential, he called for the port to be a separate and autonomous company under the CIE group.
He said: 'This would ensure that all profits generated in Rosslare Europort would be retained locally by the new company and reinvested in the future development of the port. The board of directors of the new company should be representative of the various stakeholders.'
Describing Rosslare Europort as one of our most valuable assets, he said is totally under developed. 'Part of the reason for this is that it has depended on CIE which is caught up in buses and other interests. Give it the autonomy to hold onto its finances and this will improve its borrowing capacity. At one stage it had profits of €7m, but the money went to balance the books elsewhere.'
Cllr Ger Carthy supported the motion, saying there is a stakeholders group in Rosslare Harbour but he has heard very little from them as of late. CEO Tom Enright said there was merit in the motion. Cllr Lisa McDonald said the motion was brilliant, but feared as many motions nothing will come from it.

UK floral features supplier Plantscape has appointed two experienced sales executives as it seeks to build on the most successful year in its history.
Lucinda Stone and Alan McGregor have been given the task of securing new business and servicing current clients on behalf of the company, which plants up, installs and maintains floral displays to more than 300 councils and organisations across the country.
Last year Plantscape, which is based in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, exceeded expectations with a 20 per cent increase in business, which included large orders for the streets of Liverpool, Blackburn, Middlesbrough and outside Trent Bridge Cricket Ground in Nottingham.
It also achieved record sales towards the end of the year for its lamppost-mounted solar-powered Christmas trees, which are unique in the industry, having rented out more than 1,000 of the units for the festive season.
Lucinda will look after the company’s South of England sales while Alan will take responsibility for its Central region. Ireland and the North of England will continue to be looked after by Plantscape sales executive Christine Redfern.
Plantscape managing director Mark Stone – no relation to Lucinda – said: “We are very pleased to welcome Lucinda and Alan to the company to help us follow up a hugely successful 2015 with what promises to be another busy year.
“Their appointment reflects a significant increase in business in the face of challenging market conditions, thanks to our commitment to supply products that ensure councils and other organisations can mount attractive floral displays that require the minimum of maintenance.
“They may not sound like an essential service, but nobody should underestimate the benefits that floral displays can bring. By adding a bright splash of natural colour they can instantly make a grey High Street a more attractive place to be, which creates a feel-good factor and attracts visitors and shoppers to an area.”
Plantscape supplied its first order – hanging baskets for a bank in the nearby town of Belper – around 30 years ago and has grown steadily ever since. It now supplies dozens of different products, from elevated baskets to floor-standing multi-tier planters, and was also the first company in the UK to introduce a planter that requires watering just once a week.
Every year the company mounts a sophisticated operation to deliver thousands of planters all over the country in the space of just a few weeks.
Next month, staff will plant more than 100,000 individual flowers in around 12,000 planters, which will then be grown on in Plantscape’s vast glasshouses before a fleet of lorries and vans transport them to their destinations in May and June.
Plantscape has also previously supplied planters for a host of major sporting events, including the 2012 Olympic Games in London, the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Wimbledon, the Tour de France and the British Open Golf.
It also works closely with its sister company, Securiscape, which last year fitted its PAS 68:2010 security planters – which are capable of halting a vehicle-borne terrorist attack – outside a bank in the heart of the City of London, having already installed them outside One Hyde Park Corner, the Candy Brothers’ exclusive development in Knightsbridge.

What knowledge will the media engineer of the future need to master to meet the needs of his or her employer or clients? As new technologies continue to be developed and content delivery methods evolve, media engineers will need to keep pace to build and maintain the necessary systems these technologies require in the future. But just what technology will the media industry be using in 2021 or 2026?
The SBE will seek to acquire the necessary data to answer that question by hosting an Education Summit later this year. The summit will bring together a half-dozen media industry technology thought leaders for one day to discuss the technology in use today and the technology that they predict will be in use over the next five to ten years. The SBE will use the information gathered from the summit to develop a forward-looking document that outlines the competencies of future technical media professionals. From that, the SBE will develop educational content that prepares them to meet the industry’s needs.
Costs for the SBE Education Summit are being underwritten by the Ennes Educational Foundation Trust. Formed in 1980, the mission of the Ennes Trust is to provide and support educational opportunities for broadcast engineers through scholarships and educational programs, and provide support for education-related projects of the SBE. The Ennes Trust is supported through donations from members and chapters of the SBE and companies within the broadcast industry.
An SBE Education Summit planning group that includes SBE President Jerry Massey, Education Committee Chairman Wayne Pecena and Executive Director John Poray, are developing the details for the summit. They have identified five desired outcomes for the event that were approved by the SBE Board of Directors:
• What will the industry look like in 2019, 2021, 2026?
• What skills and knowledge will be needed for new technology?
• What skills and knowledge will be needed for legacy technology?
• Identify the cross-training needed for RF, IT and other personnel
• The unpredictable or unknown outcome generated from the group’s discussion
The planning group is inviting participants that represent a cross-section of today’s media technology community, bringing together some of our industry’s leading technology thought leaders. They are also determining the date and location of the summit.
Watch for updates about the SBE Education Summit in future issues of The Signal.

Here. A quote:
Big questions loom about just how much money Congress will steer to individual programs—including the Obama administration’s marquee competitive-grant initiatives—with lawmakers on House and Senate appropriations committees facing a Jan. 15 deadline to fill in details on the current year’s spending plan or face another government shutdown.
School districts that have been chafing under across-the-board federal cuts known as sequestration for nearly a year got a two-year reprieve under the agreement approved last month that effectively scales back the sequestration cuts to education by 87 percent over that period, according to an analysis by the Committee for Education Funding, a lobbying coalition in Washington.
But the deal, which sets discretionary spending levels at roughly $1.02 trillion for the overall budget this year and will keep them relatively flat for the next two years, leaves little room for big new initiatives, such as President Barack Obama’s high-profile proposal to expand preschool to more 4-year-olds.

Ohio – Columbus police mistook Gregory Phillips for a suspected rapist, handcuffed him as he sat on his bicycle and questioned him in front of a crowd on Sullivant Avenue. What really makes the Franklinton man angry is that those officers left him 10 minutes later without an apology for arresting him and ticketed him for riding a bike on the sidewalk. Phillips calls that a cheap shot because he rode up onto the sidewalk to get out of the way of police officers he thought were after someone else.
Phillips, 45, was pedaling home at 7:30 p.m. on June 8 after visiting a friend at the Cultural Arts Center Downtown. Near S. Davis and Sullivant avenues, a marked police SUV pulled past and blocked the street in front of him. Others pulled up around him.
Phillips was not surprised by this. “A lot of crazy stuff goes on on Sullivant Avenue,” he said. It never crossed his mind that he was their target. Why would it? He has owned his house on S. Cypress Avenue for 13 years, belongs to the local homeowners’ association and works as a web developer for Columbus State Community College. He had no criminal history in Franklin County.
He was not William Ferguson Jr., a 48-year-old man who was being sought in Franklinton that night on a rape warrant.
“Before I could even get off the bike, they put me in handcuffs,” he said.
An officer showed him a photo of Ferguson. Police said they had been tipped that Ferguson was in the area in a blue shirt and tan shorts. Phillips was wearing a blue shirt and plaid shorts.
Ferguson is 5 feet 11 inches and 188 pounds, according to court records. Phillips is 4 inches shorter and 38 pounds lighter.Phillips offered his debit card, employee ID, driver’s license and two library cards as proof he wasn’t Ferguson.He allowed officers to search his backpack, which held half of a burrito and a bottle of water. He said they seemed frustrated that they could not find anything illegal.“They were searching for a reason to take me in, and they didn’t have one,” he said.
Before letting him go, Officer Brad Forster wrote the citation for “bicycle on sidewalk — riding.”
“That was the icing on the cake,” Phillips said.
Phillips filed an internal-affairs complaint that night but learned in a July 11 letter that it would not be investigated because “the allegations forwarded by [him] do not meet the Division criteria for a classification of misconduct.”
Internal Affairs Sgt. Marc Helder noted that the circumstances, taken with Phillips’ appearance and actions, were enough to warrant his brief detention and that the officers did nothing wrong.
The sergeant wrote, “There is no Division Directive requirement for officers to apologize in cases of mistaken identity.”
Phillips said, “That statement was sort of issued by a robot.” Last week, however, Sgt. Rich Weiner, a Police Division spokesman, said: “Even though there is no division directive requiring us to apologize, … we should. It’s a very tough job, but that does not relieve us from the responsibility of treating everyone with respect.”
Weiner said the officers initially thought they were dealing with a potentially violent rape suspect and might have viewed Phillips’ move to the sidewalk as an attempt to flee.
“Immediately we are going to gain control of that individual,” he said. “We don’t know why he’s avoiding us.”
Phillips is fighting the ticket. The court date is scheduled for Aug. 29.
“It’s a shame that something like this would even clog up the courts,” he said.
Police arrested Ferguson a few hours after Phillips was detained. He is awaiting trial on two counts of rape and two counts of gross sexual imposition.
“Around here, a lot of people don’t trust the police,” Phillips said. “I don’t want to be one of those people.”

Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/23/2018 -- Secondary refrigerants are used to transfer heat from the substance being cooled. They help lower environmentally-harmful primary refrigerants. Secondary refrigerants are non-toxic and incombustible and are safer to use. Unlike primary refrigerants, secondary refrigerants do not undergo any phase change. Secondary refrigerants offer various benefits. For instance, they help minimize pressure losses in vapor compression cycle, thereby increasing efficiency. Secondary refrigerants also control intermittent surging of thermal loads by providing the holdover effect. Refrigeration plants using secondary refrigerants need less supervision during the system on/off, since the effect of sudden load is minimum on the refrigerant. The major disadvantage of secondary refrigerant using system is that refrigerant is sensibly heated, as a result, the fluid temperature rises across the system and also the mass flow rate of the secondary refrigerant is larger, as the specific heat capacity of secondary refrigerants is smaller. Ideally, secondary refrigerants must be low in cost, non-corrosive, chemically stable, and able to transfer heat. They must also have high specific heat and low viscosity.
Read Report Overview @
Global Secondary Refrigerants Market: Key Segments
The global secondary refrigerants market can be segmented based on product type, application, and region. In terms of product type, the secondary refrigerants market can be classified into salt brines, glycol, and others. Salt brines secondary refrigerants are water solutions with calcium or sodium chloride. Glycol-based secondary refrigerants are water solutions of propylene or ethylene glycol. Other types of secondary refrigerants such as methylene chloride, acetone, and methyl or ethyl alcohol are used for low temperature heat transfer and synthetic oil, while sugar brine is used for special applications. Calcium chloride brines are commonly used secondary refrigerants in marine and industrial refrigeration systems. The salt brines segment held major share of the secondary refrigerants market in 2017. This trend is likely to continue throughout the forecast period.
In terms of application, the secondary refrigerants market can be divided into commercial, industrial, marine, and others. The industrial segment of accounted for significant share of the market in 2017. It was followed by the commercial application segment. Need to reduce carbon emission and rise in adoption of environment-friendly refrigerants in developed countries are estimated to boost the demand for secondary refrigerants for industrial applications.
Request to view Sample Report:
In terms of region, the global secondary refrigerants market can be segregated into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Europe held prominent share of the secondary refrigerants market in 2017 owing to the rise in demand for these refrigerants in industries such as food processing, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. The secondary refrigerants market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand at a fast pace during the forecast period due to the rapid industrialization in the region. The secondary refrigerants market in Latin America and Middle East & Africa is anticipated to expand at a sluggish pace during the forecast period.

Hurricane season in the Atlantic comes to a fizzling close
|Subtropical Storm Melissa seen from the GOES East satellite. |
Considered the last storm of the season.
(Photo Credit: NOAA)
When I read NOAA's Atlantic hurricane season summary yesterday, I wondered how they could the pronounce the end of the hurricane season almost a week before its official ending on November 30. This from their report:
"The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season, which officially ends on Saturday, Nov. 30, had the fewest number of hurricanes since 1982, thanks in large part to persistent, unfavorable atmospheric conditions over the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and tropical Atlantic Ocean. This year is expected to rank as the sixth-least-active Atlantic hurricane season since 1950, in terms of the collective strength and duration of named storms and hurricanes."
Passage Weather where I saw what they were seeing. Little to no activity with highs all over the north Atlantic Ocean. I can see why they would conclude that there's little likelihood of storm development.
Then I thought about what this means about climate change. If the heavy weather was in the Atlantic last year and pushed into the Pacific this year (we had an amazing summer in the Eastern North Atlantic regions), does that mean it's circling the globe and we're in for it next year? Has the weather modelling changed so dramatically with climate change that we'll have to follow different routes? I'll just have to keep an eye on it.
But then I thought even further, by calling it early does that mean they can shut down the hurricane center earlier to save money? Hmmm. What happens if things change before the 30th? Twill be interesting to watch.

Noshes by Sherri sells their goods at many local farmers markets and food collectives, including the Sisterly Love Food Fair facebook.com/Sisterly-Love-Citywide-Food-Fair-105088188102542/, and offers online ordering for both local delivery and shipping services. They make all of their items from scratch, using local ingredients whenever possible.
This honey cake was a specialty of Michael Leon’s mother, who they all called Bubbe.
“This came straight from the metal file box where Bubbe kept her recipes, which she typed on her manual typewriter on 3-inch-by-5-inch cards. We built many of our recipes around these, and some we use just as she wrote them,” Sherri Leon said.
Bubbe’s Honey Cake
Makes 1 loaf
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons salad oil
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Dash of cloves
1 cup warm coffee
3½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup honey
½ cup chopped nuts
Heat your oven to 325 F, and grease a standard loaf pan.
Beat the eggs with the sugar until combined. Stir in the oil until smooth. Sift the flour with all the other dry ingredients twice. Stir this into the egg mixture gradually, alternating with honey and coffee until it is combined and smooth. Add the nuts and stir until just combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake 50* minutes until done.
*A note on the timing; The typed recipe card states a cooking time of 50 minutes, but there is a handwritten note next to the instruction that says “70 minutes,” which appears to have been added by Bubbe or someone else to advise bakers that additional time may be needed.
Ovens vary, and this is baked at a lower temperature than many other cakes. My recommendation is to start checking it at 50 minutes, but recognize that it may require longer in the oven.

“The Doctor is alike eminent for eloquence, piety and a large acquaintance with the progress of the age in development of humanity,” wrote New York businessman Moses H. Grinnell in introducing the Rev. Dr. Henry W. Bellows to the President in May 1861.1 His First Congregational Church, located in Gramercy Park, included its congregation some of New York’s most prominent residents including Peter Cooper, Parke Godwin, and William Cullen Bryant. Henry W. Bellows was a well respected Unitarian clergyman, social mixer, and a born organizer.
The jewel of his organizing talents was the United States Sanitary Commission. George Templeton Strong, a New York lawyer who himself was a founding member of the U.S. Sanitary Commission, wrote that Henry W. Bellows “has his foibles, and they lead many people to underrate him. Though public-spirited and unselfish, farsighted and wise (never foolish if he give himself time to take counsel with slower men, like [William H.] Van Buren, [Cornelius R.] Agnew, [Oliver W.] Gibbs, or myself), he is conceited and he likes to be conspicuous. But what a trifling drawback it is on the reputation of a man admitted to be sagacious, active, and willing to sacrifice personal interests in public service, to admit that he knows, after all, that he is doing the country good service, and that he likes to see his usefulness made manifest in newspapers.”2
Bellows’ work was great in scope and impact with the founding in April 1861 of what became the United States Sanitary Commission that would work for the health, nutrition, sanitation and hospital care of Union soldiers. “Bellows said afterward that when he and his associates founded the Sanitary Commission they had in mind, unconsciously at first, a wider objective than mercy for the suffering,” wrote Will Irwin, Earl Chapin May and Joseph Hotchkiss in A History of the Union League Club. The commission organizers sought to pull the nation together. “They expected northern sympathy with their point of view, and in the end they got more of it than was comfortable for the burdened Lincoln. This organization, uniting people of all states in a common purpose, could be and proved to be a powerful agent of propaganda for the nation as against the mere state.”.”3
Dr. Bellows was an active leader — inside and outside of the Unitarian Church of All Souls which he pastored for his entire ministerial life. He joined the church right after graduation in 1839 from Harvard Divinity School. The Church of All Souls itself was a major New York institution whose members included industrialist Peter Cooper, editor William Cullen Bryant, novelist Herman Melville, and nursing pioneer Louisa Lee Schuyler. Dr. Bellows was also a major unifying force among Unitarians — editing their publications, The Liberal Christian and the Christian Inquirer, and serving as president of the denomination.
The preacher was a moving force in the founding of Antioch College in Ohio and the Union League Club in New York. None of Dr. Bellow’s activities, however, put him in contact with Mr. Lincoln before the Civil War. Biographer Walter D. Kring observed: “The first indication that he was interested or knew about Abraham Lincoln is found in a letter to Mrs. George Schuyler in March 1860. He agreed with Eliza Schuyler in her estimate of a speech which William Seward had recently delivered, and then he wrote, ‘Did you read Mr. A. Lincoln’s — which in many ways is better? A more solid, statesmanlike Mss, we have not had, from any quarter. It proves what others simply grasp at, or abstract.'”4 He continued, however, to be a supporter of Secretary of State William H. Seward but cheered the election of Mr. Lincoln that November.
The Bellows’ family did develop an important connection to the Lincolns in early 1861. Son Russell was a Harvard classmate of Robert Todd Lincoln, who accompanied his father to Washington in February 1861. On his return to classes, Russell Bellows wrote that Bob was “as far as I can see, the same old sixpence. His father’s position doesn’t affect Bob’s manner at all. He has no airs or graces, & never will have the latter. He will probably ‘bleed’ his father’s pocket-book pretty extensively.”5 A few months later, Russell’s father wrote him: “Mrs. Lincoln, the President’s wife, consents to Bob’s going on & spending the vacation with you. Ask him in your own & my name & press it on him.” Dr. Bellows followed up that letter with a more explicit note to his son about his own political objectives concerning the President: “I am destined (I fear) to be more or less in Washington during the war, & it would facilitate my objects to have a connecting link with the President & his family. Enough said.”6
Even before he took up his charitable mission, Bellows preached the Union cause from the pulpit. Bellows biographer Walter D. Kring wrote: “As one of the leading spokesman of the day, Henry Bellows attempted to work out with as much clarity as he could his own moral support of the war…He believed that it was God’s will that men should ‘defend the sacred interests of society.’ A week later in another sermon Bellows developed his theme further. This time he claimed the church is concerned about the interests of the state. He defined the state as ‘nothing less than the great common life of a nation, organized in laws, customs, institutions, its total being incarnate in a political unity, having common organs and functions; a living body, with a head and a heart…with a common consciousness….The state is indeed divine, as being the great incarnation of a nation’s rights, privileges, honor and life…..'”7
“We have then, a holy war on our hands — a war in defence of the fundamental principles of this government — a war in defence of American nationality, the Constitution, the Union, the rights of legal majorities, the ballot-box, the law,” Rev. Bellows told his congregation nine days after Fort Sumter was bombarded in April 1861. “We must wage it in the name of civilization, morality, and religion, with unflinching earnestness, energy, and self-sacrifice.”8 Bellows was a dynamic speaker, noted friend George Templeton Strong who himself belonged to the Episcopalian Trinity Church: “Dr. Bellows has a most remarkable faculty of lucid, fluent, easy colloquial speech and sympathetic manner, with an intensely telling point every now and then, made without apparent effort.”9
At the end of April 1861, the Women’s Central Association was organized to help assist the war effort. More than 4,000 New York women showed up for its first meeting, which was attended by Rev. Bellows and Vice President Hannibal Hamlin. Facilities were provided by Peter Cooper, the industrialist who founded of Cooper Union. Although several doctors and other men such as Bellows were appointed to lead the organization, it was the women who did the work — such as Louisa Lee Schuyler who ran the association office.
It became obvious to the organizers that an official relationship to the federal forces was needed so Bellows went to Washington to meet with government officials. “Every door has opened at our bidding from the President down all the way through the cabinet to the bureaus — & it would almost seem as if we had only to speak our will & have it done,” the minister wrote his wife. “If you had seen your humble husband haranguing the President at the head of his committee, & then the Generalissimo of the Army, & then the Major Generals & the Brigadiers — (getting a colonel deposed for drunkenness, & one regiment out of rotten quarters into safe ones) — & then all the cabinet officers in turn, — you would really have fancied him suddenly promoted into the office of premier.”10
Dr. Bellows wrote that President Lincoln was “a good, sensible, honest man, utterly devoid of dignity — without that presence that assures confidence in his adequacy to his trying position.”11 The New York preacher admired Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase and distrusted Secretary of State William H. Seward. Secretary of War Simon Cameron was overwhelmed by his military duties — and had little concept of how to handle Bellows’ request. The minister continued to lobby strongly for appointment of a Sanitary Commission to assist in protecting the health and welfare of Union soldiers. Biographer Walter D. Kring wrote: “On 20 May Bellows talked with the President privately for half an hour in a ‘plain manner on the subject of my mission. He appeared much better than on the last interview, & I felt that he would probably grow upon acquaintance.’ He felt that the work was moving ahead. The next day Bellows gave up any idea of returning to New York in the immediate future. ‘I am so near a result that I do not dare to let go my hold.’ He believed that ‘the amount of sickness & suffering among the troops forbids my neglecting anything I can possibly do to bring the matter home to the government.’ [Chief Army Nurse] Dorothea Dix had begged him to remain, and ‘a powerful committee from New York is expected here tomorrow evening.'”12
The New York visitors — which included three physicians, Harris, W.H. Van Buren and Jacob Hansen — lobbied the War Department to build a public-private partnership to assist in developing living conditions. It was hard going, but by Bellows’ second trip to Washington in early June, he was able to claim success. The U.S. Sanitary Commission was officially appointed on June 9 with Bellows as its president and with advice its own real tool. Bellows was indefatigable over the next four years in his lobbying of the Lincoln Administration on behalf of the Commission — as this excerpt from George Templeton Strong’s diary entry in April 1862 shows:
This is all by way of prologue to Dr. Van Buren’s narrative. The Secretary of War telegraphed for him to come to Washington. (He did not send for Hammond.) Bellows went with him. Van Buren reported at the War Department, and the Secretary asked frankly what he should do with the Medical Bureau. “I have called you into a bad case.’ ‘What are the symptoms, Mr. Secretary?” “General imbecility.” They had more than one free discussion, and Van Buren submitted a list of names for the new offices with Dr. [William] Hammond at their head, and [Edward P.]Vollum and [Lewis] Edwards of the regular corps, and R. Lyman and Dr. [Meredith] Clymer of the volunteers, and so on, which the Secretary approved. Then it appeared that Lincoln had been subjected to political pressure and was, moreover, influenced by personal regard for our excellent old colleague, Dr. Wood, who hates Hammond. The medical staff judges of its members by their military record rather than by scientific or professional rank. Bellows tackled Lincoln while he was being shaven [the] next (Thursday) morning and seems to have talked to him most energetically and successfully. He was with the President again last night and was informed that Hammond was appointed. ‘Shouldn’t wonder if he was Surgeon-General already,’ said the President, and they shook hands upon it. I believed this, coming from Lincoln, but I wouldn’t believe it if it came from any other Washington official. “I hain’t been caught lying yet, and I don’t mean to be,” said Abe Lincoln, during their discussion, and such is probably the fact.”
Another Lincoln [story]. Dr. Bellows, apropos of something he said, advised him to take his meals at regular hours. His health was so important to the country. Abe Lincoln loquitur, ‘Well, I cannot take my vittles regular. I kind o’ just browze round.’ He says, ‘Stanton’s one of my team, and they must pull together. I can’t have any one on ’em a-kicking out.'”13
The commission required the cooperation of the government to do its work, but frequently that cooperation was given grudgingly if at all. The Commission’s relations with Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton were frequently contentious. After Dr. Bellows visited him in April 1863, Strong wrote: “Stanton said he had not intended to attack the Sanitary Commission and had not foreseen the injury his order would do the Commission, but that he did not want to revoke or retract anything at its request or to promote its objects. He was no friend of the Commission — disliked it, and in fact, detested it. ‘But why, Mr. Stanton, when it is notoriously doing so much good service, and when the Medical Department and the whole army confide in it and depend on it as you and I know they do?’ ‘Well,’ said the Secretary, ‘the fact is the Commission wanted [Dr. William A.] Hammond to be Surgeon-General and I did not. I did my best with the President and with the Military committee of the Senate, but the Commission beat me and got Hammond appointed. I’m not used to being beaten, and don’t like it, and therefore I am hostile to the Commission.”14
In the spring, Bellows took a trip aboard a hospital ship to the Jamestown Peninsula before returning to Washington to straighten out administrative matters. “Bellows had waited in Washington for the return of President Lincoln and Secretary of War Stanton because the government had been procrastinating in the appointment of the persons authorized by the Medical Bill,” wrote biographer Walter D. Kring. “Bellows cooled his heels and waited. Eventually it became necessary from the standpoint of the Sanitary commission which had worked so hard getting the bill framed and through Congress that he do something. He called on Stanton on the morning of 13 May. He had waited fifteen minutes and was starting down the stairs when Stanton came up.” Stanton was tired and out of sorts. “Amid obvious hostility Bellows pressed Stanton, expressing hope that the appointments under the new bill would be made as soon as possible. Stanton tested Bellows by asking what his concern was in all of this Bellows replied, ‘We know who the proper men are, and have presented them in a letter Dr. Van Buren has left with you. There may be other men as good — be we do not feel that there are. The service is suffering immensely for prompt action in this matter, and we cannot feel easy while this action is delayed, or willingly see it take a wrong direction.”15 Strong reported in his diary: “After dinner came in Bellows fresh from a row with the Secretary of War about appointments under the Medical Reform Bill, in which Stanton was petulant and insolent and then emollient and apologetic. Bellows thinks he has some cerebral disease.”16
The head of the Army’s medical department, known as the Surgeon General, was particularly important to the Sanitary Commission’s work. Artist Francis Carpenter spent several months working at the White House and later wrote:
“The Rev. Dr. Bellows, of New York, as President of the Sanitary Commission, backed by powerful influences, had pressed with great strenuousness upon the President the appointment of Dr. Hammond, as Surgeon-General. For some unexplained reason, there was an unaccountable delay in making the appointment. One stormy evening — the rain falling in torrents — Dr. Bellows, thinking few visitors likely to trouble the President in such a storm, determined to make a final appeal, and stepping into a carriage, he was driven to the White House. Upon entering the Executive Chamber, he found Mr. Lincoln alone, seated at the long table, busily engaged in signing a heap of congressional documents, which lay before him. He barely nodded to Dr. Bellows as he entered, having learned what to expect, and kept straight on with his work. Standing opposite to him, Dr. B, employed his most powerful arguments, for ten or fifteen minutes, to accomplish the end sought, the President keeping steadily on signing the documents before him. Pausing, at length, to take breath, the clergyman was greeted in the most unconcerned manner, the pen still at work, with, — ‘Shouldn’t wonder if Hammond was at this moment ‘Surgeon-General,’ and had been for some time.’
“You don’t mean to say, Mr. President,’ asked Dr. B in surprise, that the appointment has been made?”
“I may say to you,” returned Mr. Lincoln, for the first time looking up, ‘that it has; only you needn’t tell of it just yet.”17
But the appointment merely exacerbated Stanton’s enmity. Strong wrote in his diary in April 1863: “Bellows just returned from Washington and General Hooker’s headquarters, and told me part of his experiences this afternoon. The War Department has issued an order (No. 87, I think) about the transportation of medical and sanitary stores that seriously curtails the privileges government gives us. I think it was issued inadvertently and in no unfriendly spirit, but Dr. Bellows declares he will resign and make open war on Stanton unless it is resolved or corrected by an explanatory order. He discussed the matter with the solicitor of the War Department (Whiting), an old college friend of his; and in confidential relations with Stanton, Whiting brought the matter before his chief.”18
According to Strong, Secretary of State William H. “Seward told Dr. Bellows that the President and the Cabinet were strong in approval of the Commission; that they had consented to recognize an outside agency and give it a semi-official position very reluctantly, and only because they could not properly say no, and that they had taken it for granted the Commission would collapse and die a natural death within a year after its appointment at latest. But ‘the Commission has made itself a necessity, and it has done its very difficult and delicate work with so much discretion, tact and ability, that’ — and so forth.”19
Just as President Lincoln’s support for the commission increased over time, so did Bellows’ support for President Lincoln increase with time. According to biographer Walter D. Kring, Bellows observed “that it was not only the men who were active in politics this year but the women, who, although they had not vote, made it a point to attend the campaign meetings. For six months in mid 1864, Bellows was absent from New York. He traveled to California in the spring of 1864, remaining for six months and preaching in San Francisco — while raising funds for the Sanitary Commission. Bellows returned to New York City in time to address 3,000 people at the Cooper Institute and had talked for an hour and a quarter ‘at one of the most successful campaign meetings.'”20
Bellows colleague William E. Dodge, Jr. recalled: “There are times when to invent a happy phrase is equal to the winning of a martial victory. As Mr. Seward’s phrase’ the irrepressible conflict’ formulated the situation which preceded and developed the war, so Dr. Bellows’ phrase ‘Unconditional Loyalty’ formulated the necessity of the time when war had actually begun. This phrase brought into existence the New York Union League, the child of the Sanitary Commission, the details of whose organization were worked out by Dr. Bellows and two other officers of the Sanitary Commission on a night-journey from Washington to New York. The government did well to circulate 10,000 copies of Dr. Bellows’ sermon on ‘Unconditional Loyalty’ among the officers of the army and navy.”21
Although he attended President Lincoln’s funeral on April 1865, Dr. Bellows was not impressed by it. He wrote that “a little before twelve we marched to the White House through the grounds that separate it from the Treasury, were shown into the East Room and took our appointed places on the raised steps that occupied three of the sides — the catafalque with its black canopy and open coffin occupying the center. I had a last glimpse of the honest face of our great and good President as we passed by. It was darker than in life, otherwise little changed…”22 Bellows wrote that “the actual service was common-place, & did not voice the occasion, but it could not belittle or stifle it. It was in itself too great & too speaking for that. The grief was genuine profound & all pervading.”23 Of the President’s death itself, Bellows asked his congregation: “May we not have needed this loss to sober our hearts in the midst of our national triumph, lest in the excess of our joy and pride we should overstep the bounds of that prudence and the limits of that earnest seriousness which our affairs demand?”24

Horse meat found in salami
Salami on sale in the UK could contain horse and donkey meat, the Food Standards Agency said today.
The agency announced an investigation to analyse what goes into salami, chorizo and pastrami.
It follows a survey carried out by local authorities in Hull, Durham, Northumberland, West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire which found horse meat in three of the 24 samples of salami tested.
Rosemary Hignett, the FSA's head of food labelling, said: "There are concerns that UK consumers could unwittingly be eating horse and perhaps donkey meat when they buy a salami or similar product.
"Some people may prefer not to eat these products, even though food safety is not the issue and they are often traditional recipes."
