Just 12 per cent of people with diabetes aged between 12 and 24 in England received all seven care checks in 2012/13, a report by Diabetes UK has shown.
The report, State of the nation: Challenges for 2015 and beyond, noted that this was an improvement on the previous year, when 6.7 per cent of 12- to 24-year olds received all seven of their annual checks. This is compared to 29 per cent of people with type 1 diabetes and 46 per cent with type 2 diabetes in the working age population.
The seven care processes involve monitoring a patient's blood pressure, serum creatine, HbA1c level, cholesterol, BMI, foot health, urine albumin, and screening their eyes.
The report also highlighted that a quarter of young people with diabetes have high blood glucose levels, which Diabetes UK described as 'worrying.'
Barbara Young, the chief executive of Diabetes UK, said: 'This is not a question of spending more money. In fact, better ongoing standards of care will save money and reduce pressure on NHS resources. It is about people getting the checks they need at their GP surgery and giving people the support and education they need to be able to manage their own condition.'
It is estimated that there are 24,000 young people in England with diabetes. Of these, 96 per cent have type 1 diabetes. The report highlights the importance of early diagnosis of the condition, as 15 per cent of diagnoses are made after the child has developed diabetic ketoacidosis, which can lead to organ failure, comas, and ultimately death.
Diabetes is urging anyone who spends time with young people to be aware of the 'four Ts' (toilet; thirsty; thinner; tired) which serve as indicators to type 1 Diabetes.
Ms Young added that improving the education given to people with diabetes, and ensuring they attend their annual checks 'would give people with diabetes a better chance of a long and healthy life, and save the NHS a significant amount of money.'

|BATES, Frederick||18 November 1829 - 6 October 1903||
Born in Leicester, a younger brother of Henry Walter Bates. He spent most of his life in the town, or in the county, until moving to London in 1896. He was a successful brewer becoming Vice-Chairman of his own company. In his obituary Entomologist's Rec.J.Var., 15, 1903, 347-49, Donisthorpe recorded that Bates's interests included music, of which he is recorded to have had ‘a thorough knowledge'; Latin; French, which he could read easily; and the works of Spencer, Huxley and Darwin. On philosophical subjects 'he possessed as complete a knowledge of, and insight into ... as any man living'. He died at his residence, 417, High Road, Chiswick, London.
Bates's interest in entomology appears to have begun with the Coleoptera. He published various notes in Zool. from 1849, and in 1854 was able to prepare for the Leicester Literary and Philosophical Society 'A Catalogue of the Coleoptera of Leicestershire' which was read on his behalf by H.E. Quilter. (This was not published. It is noted by Bates's son Ernest in a list of his father's works sent to Horace Donisthorpe when the latter was preparing his obituary) Some time after this he became interested in the Heteromera, doing much original work, and describing many new genera and species.
Most of his publications concerned the Heteromera, but he did publish 'Descriptions of new genera and species of Tenebrionidae from Australia, New Caledonia, and Norfolk Island' and 'Descriptions of new genera and species of Tenebrionidae from the Island of Madagascar in Trans.ent.Soc.Lond., 3, 1873, 347-380 and 4, 1879, 277-307. A third paper on this group had appeared in the same periodical in 1872. Bates's other publication on the Coleoptera was a list of the species found in Bradgate Park which appeared in Transactions Leicester literary Philosophical Society, 4, 1896, 170-176.
Bates's Heteromera collection was purchased by the NHM in two batches in 1881 and 1897 and consisted of 22,390 specimens representing 7,200 species. It incorporated, according to a note by Bates: 'Laferte's collection, comprising second specimens from Dejean's collection. R. Bakewell's collection, including that of Lacordaire (The remaining portion after the British Museum had made a selection). G.R. Waterhouse’s collection. First selection of Major Parry's collection. Desbrochers des Loges' collection of Asida’. A further collection of 22 Rutelidae entered the Museum's collections in 1859 by exchange.
The NHM also has some manuscript material. This includes a notebook titled A Census of Mr Fred Bates Collection of Heteromera with notes, October 1880; an Index to Bates’s collection with localities (formerly the property of Horace Donisthorpe); a Catalogue of the duplicate Heteromera of the collection Dejean purchased of the Marquis F. de Breme by the Marquis de Laferte-Senectere 1841 Now in the possession of F. Bates Leicester 1861; and a List of Eriodius and Tentyria. There is a black-bound manuscript book titled 'Geodephaga’ in the RESL library which apparently belonged to Bates and lists his collection of world ground beetles. Notes against some of the species indicate that he owned some of his brother's collection of Amazonian specimens.
Sharon Reid of the Central Science Laboratory (DEFRA) at York tells me that there is a collection of beetles there all of which are labelled F. Bates and some of which are dated from the 1890s. This must be the collection referred to by Donisthorpe as the extensive British Coleoptera collection which he formed towards the end of his life and about which Charles Mackechnie Jarvis wrote to me: ‘The F. Bates collection passed to the late Prof. G.W. Nicholson (a medic) and thence to B.S. Williams of Harpenden, my wife’s father. The collection then in poor condition, was housed in single sided shallow varnished store boxes in three vertical rows in two glass fronted book cases with heavy sliding doors of the thickness of sash windows (and very like them). I saw this collection at Harpenden many years ago and know that Williams incorporated in his own cabinet collection, the species he needed. The remainder was largely used to augment a collection of Coleoptera at the Plant Pathology Laboratory at Harpenden. B.S. Williams was on the staff and built up a good reference collection there. The B.S.W. private collection was presented to the Liverpool Museum by his widow... The Bates store boxes were dispersed but the two ‘bookcases’ of heavy construction are in use in my office... In the Manuscript list the Leicestershire species are distinquished by a capital L and where captured by or known to Bates the localities and details of occurrence are entered in fine writing on the interleaving. Whether Nicholson had the Bates collection from Donisthorpe I do not know. I see he mentions it as his in the F. Bates obit. But Horn & Kahle give Nicholson only.’
Apart from the obituary already noted there are others in Ent.mon.Mag., 39, 1903, 286-7 and Trans.ent.Soc.Lond., LXXIV-LXXV, 1903. I am grateful to Tony Irwin who has pointed out that there are a large number of insects which bear the initials F.B, presumably Frederick Bates, in E.A. Butler’s foreign collection of Coleoptera and Hemiptera at Norwich Museum. See also Nevinson, Basil (QV). (MD 9/01, 10/03, 11/09)
|BATES, Henry Walter||8 February 1825 - 16 February 1892||
Born in Leicester, the elder brother of Frederick Bates. Educated at Billesden school until the age of thirteen when he was apprenticed to a hosiery manufacturer. Worked from 7am to 8pm but managed, nevertheless, to attend classes at the Mechanics Institute where he rapidly became a good Greek, Latin and French scholar, as well as becoming proficient at Drawing and Composition. Translated Homer before going to work in the morning, and read prodigiously. His brother Frederick remembered him saying that 'no one ought to make any pretensions to be considered a reader who had not twice gone through Gibbon's Decline and Fall. He considered travelling to Australia with Stephen Barton but the project fell through. Met A.R. Wallace in 1844-45 when Wallace was a tutor in Leicester, and in April 1848 set sail with him for South America, on the natural history expedition which was to lead to his publishing The Naturalist on the River Amazons (1863), the book for which he is beat known. Returned to England in 1859 and settled in Leicestershire where he married. In 1861 he took up the post of Assistant Secretary to the Royal Geographical Society which he held until his death, aged 68.
Bates's interest in natural history was first aroused by the friends he made at the Mechanics Institute, particularly John Plant and James Harley. His brother Frederick later recalled ‘I have no recollection of his specially pursuing any other branch than entomology ... Like most collectors he commenced with the Lepidoptera, but soon abandoned these for the Coleoptera... Never shall I forget his radiant joy ... when he once came bounding in, shouting in exultation, with his first capture of a 'Tiger' beetle, made in Anstey Lane... Our earliest collections, I well remember, were stored away in such places as table and wash-hand stand drawers. Our collecting nets too were very primitive - a loop of wire soldered into a tin socket to hold a stick... In those days the best collecting grounds were the parts of Charnwood Forest owned by the old Earl of Stamford ... Good Friday was always chosen as the first grand opening day of the season ... My brother used habitually to write a descriptive account of all these expeditions; he would also sketch and write out descriptions of all the principal insects captured'. On this early period and particularly his involvment with James Harley and Francis Plant, see Lott (2009), 5-9.
By the time his apprenticeship was nearing its end Bates had 'formed a very extensive collection of British beetles and was in correspondence with all the chief coleopterists of the time. The study of Coleoptera was a very different thing in those days to what it is at the present time. Then there was nothing much to enable the worker to determine his species but Stephens's Manual, and all who have puzzled over that book will know the difficulties. ... Among the friends made about this time was Mr E. Brown, of Burton-on-Trent, who interested himself in procuring my brother a situation as a clerk in Messers Allsopp's offices at Burton-on-Trent. He remained there until he had made arrangements to start on his memorable expedition...' (Proceedings Royal Geographical Society, Monthly Record of Geography, April 1892, 2-3).
Bates's first article entitled 'Notes on Coleopterous Insects frequenting Damp Places' was published in Zool., 1, 1843, 114-115. This was followed by more than one hundred papers covering entomology, mostly concerned with the Geodephaga and Longicornia, and other articles in the Athenaeum. Many of the more important pieces have been reprinted in E. Gorton Linsley (ed.), The Principal Contributions of Henry Walter Bates to a Knowledge of the Butterflies and Longicorn Beetles of the Amazon Valley, New York 1978.
F. Hope purchased Coleoptera including Cicindelidae (Megacephala) from the Amazon from Bates’ collections for the HDO in June 1858 and 1861. The NHM acquired extensive portions of Bates' collections from 1851 to 1870. This Museum also possesses two notebooks relating to insects of the Amazon Valley with many fine original water-colour drawings which cover the dates 1851-59. There is a pocket book used by Bates on his travels from 1848-1859 in the British Library, and correspondence between Bates and Henry Doubleday of 1864 is in the Passmore Edwardes Museum, Stratford, London. An unfinished mss on the classification of Carabidae which was ‘examined by Dr Sharp, Mr Rene Oberthur and Dr Horn and pronounced to be too incomplete for publication’ is in the RES (Pedersen 2002, 107) together with correspondence including letters to Roland Trimen (1863-67) and Herbert Druce (14 October 1891). Ashley Kirk Spriggs tells me that there are also specimens collected by him in the Rippon Collection, NMW.
The Plant Pathology Laboratory at Harpenden where B.S Williams was on the staff and built up a good reference collection there has some material. This collection was visited by Derek Lott in 1990 who recorded: ‘I looked over the ground beetles... and there were a number of Bates’ specimens there, though by no means anywhere near a complete set. Some specimens were labelled “F. Bates”, but these included specimens collected after Bates’ death, while other genuine Bates specimens were unlabelled. The localities will be difficult, probably impossible to identify from the labels that contain only numbers. Various bits of documentation have parted company with the collection at different times during its tortuous journey from owner to owner...Unfortunately [ the materials Donisthorpe passed to the NHM] appear to be of no use in interpreting the numbers on Bates’ labels’. Lott also visited Liverpool in 1985 and looked at the Williams collection and ‘although there may well be Bates specimens there’ he did not detect any (Lott 2009, 49-50). Simms (1968) notes Bates' material in the W.C. Hey collection in the Yorkshire Museum but it is not clear to which Bates he refers.
Gilbert (1977) lists seventeen obituaries and other notices, the most important of which are probably: that already mentioned above; D. Sharp in Ent., 25, 1892, 77-80; R. MaLachlan in Ent.mon.Mag., 28, 1892, 83-85; and F.D. Godman in Proc.ent.Soc.Lond., 1892, i-iv. (MD 12/21, 1/22)
|BATES, J.K.||10 January 1931 – 29 November 1957||
Studied zoology at Durham University and carried out research on fleas at Oxford. Lived in Barrowden in Rutland and had a general interest in natural history. He died by suicide. Lott (2009), 28, records that he collected around 200 beetles in Leicestershire in the 1940s and 50s and that his collection is now in the Leicester Museum (Acc. no. Z.25.1983). (MD 11/09)
|BATESON, William||8 August 1861 - 8 February 1926||
Bateson is best known for his advocacy of Mendel's theory of heredity, a theory he had almost discovered for himself before Mendel's long forgotten Versuche uber Pflanzen-Hybriden was rediscovered in 1900. Bateson was born at Whitby, the elder son of William Henry Bateson, Master of St. John's College, Cambridge. His younger sister was Mary Bateson, the historian. He was educated at Rugby School and St. John's College, Cambridge. Under the influence of Francis Maitland Balfour he took up the study of embryology which led him to visit the United States. There he met W.K.Brooks and became interested in evolution. It was this interest which led to his visiting Western Central Asia in 1886 and Egypt in 1887. After his return to Cambridge he developed his research and theories in Materials for the Study of Variation, published in 1894. Two works on Mendel's theories, were published in 1902 and 1909; and Problems of Genetics, in 1913. It was Bateson who first 'invented' the term genetics.
In 1910, after receiving many academic accolades, Bateson moved to Merton in Surrey where he was appointed Director of the newly opened John Innes Institute. Under his enterprising leadership this quickly established itself as an important centre for biological research, concentrating not just on the theoretical aspects but also on the practical. Many of Bateson's own speeches, etc. at this time were collected together under the title Essays and Addresses (1928). Besides his professional interests Bateson was also interested in art, particularly Prints and Drawings, and in 1922 he was elected a Trustee of the British Museum.
The En.mon.Mag., stated in its obituary 'although entomology was perhaps not Bateson's principal interest, he possessed a sound and extensive knowledge of our science in which he drew largely in his published works'. His writings on entomology included 'On the colour-variations of a beetle of the family Chrysomelidae, statistically examined' in Proc.Zool.Soc.Lond., 1895, 850-860.
Aquatic Coleoptera and Hemiptera collected by Bateson in west Central Asia were acquired by Cambridge University Zoological Collections on 17 October 1922 (Insect Department Register). A collection of his letters notebooks and papers is in the John Innes Institute Library at Norwich (see A. Cock, 'The William Bateson Papers' in Mendel Newsletter, 14, 1977, 1-4), and some correspondence with Henry Druce is in the RESL Library.
FRES from 1894; Council 1898; Vice President 1925. Gilbert (1977) lists seven obituaries and there is an entry in DNB (by R.C.Punnett who knew Bateson) which lists further references. (MD 9/01)
|BATH, W. HARCOURT||1882-1932||
Primarily a Lepidopterist although he did publish articles on Orthoptera and Odonata, and a note on 'The Stag Beetle in the Midlands' (where he lived) in Ent., 20, 1887, 44-45. Surprisingly, in view of the number and extent of his publications, there appears to be no obituary. His interest in entomology was pursued not only in Europe but also in India where he is recorded by J.G. Arrow to have collected Euchirinae in Darjeeling (FBI, Rutelinae, 1917, 370) Ashley Kirk Spriggs tells me that specimens from Darjeeling are in the Rippon Collection at NMW. (MD 9/01)

The use of hydraulic symbols must be comprehensive in your efforts to detail the workings of a complete hydraulic system. Hydraulic machines consist of more than pumps, valves and actuators, of course, even though they are often the stars of the show. Those stars would quickly fall into the other side of fame without components to condition and monitor your machine.
Conditioning symbols are those representing components used to filter, heat, cool or otherwise treat the hydraulic fluid of your machine. If you recall from way back in Hydraulic Symbology 101, we draw fluid conditioning symbols most often with a diamond-shaped basic shape. From this basic diamond, fluid moves through the component symbol in many ways, I’ve detailed the basic filter symbol, shown in Figure 1.
Imagine hydraulic fluid flowing in from the top of the diamond, where it’s able to fill the chamber. The dashed line is neither a pilot or drain line, as is described in previous articles, but perforations. Fluid must pass through the perforations leaving particles trapped atop the layer. Actual perforations are microscopic, but it represents the real-world filter quite well. Clean fluid exits the bottom, most often directly into the reservoir, once again ready to be pumped out.
Hydraulic systems need protection from atmospherically suspended particles such as dust, welding fallout and machining particles. Differential cylinders require an extra fluid volume to extend, and that fluid must draw from the reservoir. As the fluid volume decreases in the reservoir, air draws in to replace it, and without some form of contamination removal, atmospheric contamination may enter the system. The breather filter allows air to pass while trapping particles. The second symbol in Figure 1, with the arc above the filter element, is such a device.
The complete filter assembly in Figure 1 is a compilation of components for filtering and monitoring filter condition. Fluid passes straight through the middle, where particles get trapped inside the media. The symbol for a pressure gauge sits to the left. This pressure gauge differs in that two opposed lines terminate on either side of the gauge. Known as the differential pressure gauge, it compares pressure upstream to downstream of the filter to show the pressure drop through the filter element. Showing pressure drop rather than absolute pressure offers an accurate method to trigger filter replacement when the filter begins to clog. An upstream pressure gauge would provide just a backpressure reading at the filter, instead of pressure drop through the element.
To the right of the filter is a spring offset check valve denoted with a 25 psi spring value. This check valve provides a bypass flow path should pressure drop increase due to an excessively clogged filter. Return lines are generally poor locations for backpressure, so this check valve provides an alternate flow path when the filter becomes too clogged to flow well enough. At 25 psi, the check valve starts to open to reduce backpressure through the element. Take note that flow through the check valve is not filtered, allowing contamination to pass right through.
In Figure 2, I show the compound symbol for a duplex filter assembly. A duplex filter allows on-demand filter change while the hydraulic system still runs. The fluid first enters from the top of a 3-way ball valve. The three cones show the top inlet and two horizontal outlets possible depending on the location of the handle shown sprouting from the bottom. Some 3-way valves are simply a circle with an L-shaped line connecting two of the three ports, but I find this version more succinct.
Juxtaposed to the 3-way ball valve are two objects appearing to be spring return cylinders. These are, in fact, pop-up indicators. The spring value would be equivalent to about two-thirds the setting of the bypass check valves. If the bypass valves begin to open at 45 psi, the pop-up indicator overcomes its spring at 30 psi to warn the maintenance team that the filter should be changed soon. Often turning from green to red at the time of pop-up, they automatically reset when pressure drop returns to normal after the filter change.
You can see each filter has its bypass valve (which is sometimes in the filter element itself), although I’ve omitted the spring valve to reduce clutter. After fluid passes the filter through the bottom, both elements join to a single outlet where clean oil exits the assembly. Most duplex filters are inline mounted rather than in-tank and may be pressure filters as well as return line filters.
The anti-cavitation filter assembly in Figure 2 provides a couple more symbology options for a filter assembly. Much of it is the same as the filter assembly in Figure 1 but includes two more options. The second check valve is to allow an anti-cavitation function to the system. There are circumstances where a hydraulic system might want to “float,” meaning that it could be pulled, lifted or pushed under gravity or load forces. For example, if a cylinder is pushed upon while stationary, fluid may need to be pulled in from the reservoir to take up the volume differential. Without the check valve, the cylinder could cavitate and create air bubbles to potentially damage the cylinder when re-pressurized.
The component to the right of the diamond filter is a differential pressure switch. By comparing pressure upstream to downstream as in the pressure gauge of Figure 1, this switch triggers some light, PLC or another warning that the filter should be changed soon. The symbol itself is a square box with a fixed spring symbol atop. The three dots are electrical contacts, while the line shows the default electrical path in this case “closed” to connect the bottom to the left side contact. When pressure matches the switch’s spring value, the contact shifts to the right, closing the electrical circuit and signalling the warning.
No fluid conditioning package is complete without control over the temperature of the hydraulic fluid. Heaters, coolers or heat exchangers benefit most hydraulic systems, especially those located variable climates or working conditions. Figure 3 shows the diamond symbol as heaters and coolers. The first symbol on the left depicts the vertical hydraulic fluid flow path, bisecting two inward-facing arrows. These arrows do not denote a fluid flow path, as is typical for the symbol, but the direction of thermal transfer, and showing the symbol for a heater, such as an electric in-tank coil type.
The cooler symbol second left is very similar to the heater save the two outward-facing arrows, which represent heat evacuating from the fluid. This symbol is basic and does not tell us if the cooler is liquid-to-liquid or liquid-to-air, although I would assume liquid-to-air if compared to the symbol on its right. The heat exchanger symbol combines the internals of the heater and cooler, showing the capacity to direct heat inward or outward (but never simultaneously). However, poking out from the right is an extra pair of fluid lines first entering from the top and then exiting from the bottom. The extra lines stand for a coolant fluid, which may be city water or water-glycol, either cooled or heated. Tube and shell or brazed plate cooler are examples of a liquid-to-liquid cooler.
The final compound symbol surrounded by an enclosure line is the liquid-to-air cooler. This unit would be either a tube and fin or bar and plate style cooler common to forced air coolers. The compound shape to the right shows two conjoined triangles forming the fins of a cooling fan attached to the circular prime mover symbol for an electric motor. The letter “M” stands for motor, and if its enclosure were square would signal an internal combustion engine.

The University of Iowa is launching a study to develop and test ways to prevent dangerous pathogens like Ebola, MRSA and so-called “nightmare bacteria” from spreading in hospitals.
Team leader Dr. Eli Perencevich, a U-I professor of internal medicine, says they’ll look at all sorts of high-tech options, in addition to low-tech ones, as sometimes a complex problem has a simple solution.
“Plumbing regulations currently prevent us from actually installing toilet lids in public facilities including hospitals,” Perencevich says. “We want to test to see if just installing a simple toilet lid and closing it when we flush would prevent bad bacteria and viruses from spreading in the hospital.”
Among the high-tech possibilities, U-I researchers will test an automated system of computerized video cameras that can “watch” to ensure health care workers wear the proper personal protective equipment.
He says the system was created by a team in the U-I computer science lab. “They developed ways to use computerized vision to track to see if health care workers are wearing their gowns and gloves as they should,” Perencevich says. “This will hopefully protect them and also our patients from things like Ebola and nightmare bacteria.” Such bacteria are so contagious and dangerous, they might kill up to half of the patients who contract them.
This research has the potential to change how hospitals across the country function, Perencevich says, with the goal of increased safety. “The point of our studies is to develop new technology, new protocols, new ways of health care workers donning and doffing these protective equipment,” Perencevich says. “We expect if the findings are positive that these would be implemented in guidelines and protocols across the United States.”
The U-I is launching the three-year research project thanks to a $2.2 million grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC has named the U-I as one of just six health care centers in the county to be designated as Prevention Epicenters. The others are at: Emory University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Illinois at Chicago, University of Maryland, Baltimore, and University of Utah.

Are you a houseplant enthusiast looking to take your plant care to the next level? If so, you’ve come to the right place! In this article, we will delve into the world of advanced care tips for houseplants, specifically focusing on the difference between pruning and trimming. Understanding the distinction between these two techniques is crucial for maintaining the health, appearance, and vitality of your indoor greenery. So, let’s dive in and explore the intriguing world of pruning and trimming in houseplants!
Pruning: Shaping and Enhancing Plant Health
Pruning is a manual process that involves carefully cutting individual branches or stems of a plant. By performing this technique, you can shape your houseplants and address specific issues like diseased or damaged branches. Pruning allows light to reach the interior of the plant, promoting growth throughout the entire plant and contributing to its overall health.
To conduct proper pruning, you’ll need a few essential tools such as pruning shears, loppers, and pruning saws. Before you begin, it’s crucial to understand the specific needs of your houseplant. Different plants have different pruning requirements, so it’s essential to research the characteristics of your particular species.
When pruning houseplants, it’s best to remove dead or damaged branches first. This helps prevent the spread of disease and stimulates new growth. Additionally, pruning allows you to reduce crowded areas, improve air circulation, and shape the plant according to your desired aesthetic.
While pruning can be performed year-round, it’s generally recommended to prune houseplants during their active growth period. This is typically in the spring or early summer. However, certain plants may have specific pruning requirements, so it’s always best to refer to reliable sources or consult with a gardening professional.
Trimming: Aesthetic Maintenance
Unlike pruning, which focuses on the health and shape of the plant, trimming is primarily done for aesthetic purposes. This technique involves cutting back the outermost branch tips to create a neat and tidy shape. Trimming can give your houseplants a well-maintained appearance, but it’s important to note that it may not be suitable for all plant species.
When it comes to trimming, it’s essential to use the right tools. Electric hedge trimmers are commonly used for trimming larger plants with woody stems, while scissors or hand pruners are typically used for smaller plants. Be sure to sanitize your tools before and after trimming to prevent the spread of disease.
One key consideration when trimming houseplants is the impact it may have on the interior growth. Trimming can leave behind dead stems and foliage, which may hinder the overall health of the plant if not managed properly. It’s crucial to avoid excessive and indiscriminate trimming, which may lead to sparse growth and an unbalanced appearance.
It’s worth noting that not all houseplants are ideal for trimming. Certain species, such as Norfolk Island pines, palms, and certain types of orchids, may not respond well to trimming. Cutting off their tops could prevent regrowth and harm the plant. However, these plants can still benefit from the removal of dead leaves or branches as long as the growing tip is not trimmed back.
Which Technique to Choose?
So, how do you determine whether pruning or trimming is the right technique for your houseplants? It all comes down to the specific needs of your plants and your desired outcome.
If you’re looking to promote overall plant health, encourage new growth, and shape your houseplants, pruning is the way to go. By selectively removing damaged or diseased branches, you can improve the plant’s vitality and reduce the risk of pest infestations or diseases. Pruning also allows for better light penetration into the plant, which contributes to overall growth and health.
On the other hand, if you’re primarily concerned with maintaining a neat and tidy appearance, trimming can be a suitable option. Trimming is perfect for plants that tend to grow quickly or become overly bushy. By cutting back the outermost branch tips, you can control the size and shape of your plant, giving it a well-groomed look.
Ultimately, the decision between pruning and trimming depends on your goals and the specific requirements of your houseplants. It’s always a good idea to research each plant species individually and consult with gardening professionals if you’re unsure about the best approach.
As you embark on your journey of advanced care for your beloved houseplants, understanding the difference between pruning and trimming is essential. Pruning allows for optimal plant health, promoting growth and addressing specific issues like disease or damage. On the other hand, trimming helps maintain a tidy appearance and control the size of your plants. By choosing the right technique based on your goals and plant species, you can take your indoor gardening skills to new heights!
Remember, each plant is unique, and it’s essential to research and understand the specific needs of your houseplants. Always employ proper pruning and trimming techniques, use sanitized tools, and take care not to overdo it. With the right approach, your houseplants will thrive and continue to bring joy and beauty to your indoor space.

Mumps has been notifiable in England and Wales since October 1988, the same time as the introduction of the MMR vaccine.
Following a long period of low incidence in the 1990's the incidence of mumps rose in Wales from early 2003. The main group affected were teenagers and young adults born 1980-1991. Many of this group would never have been offered the two recommended doses of a mumps containing vaccine because MMR was only introduced in 1988, with a limited catch-up campaign. In addition the vaccine used during the 1994 schools catch-up campaign was the MR vaccine and did not contain a mumps component.
In October 2005, the national MMR catch-up campaign was announce in order to stem the increased transmission of mumps in Wales. During this campaign a total of 60,820 secondary school, college and university students were immunised against mumps using the MMR triple vaccine. Incidence of mumps in Wales declined sharply following 2005.
Increases in the number of notified and laboratory confirmed mumps cases in Wales were seen in 2009, 2013 and 2019.
|Year||Number of cases||Rate per 100,000 population|
|Quarter||Number of cases in 2017||% of 2017 year total||Number of cases in 2018||% of 2018 year total||Number of cases in 2019||% of 2019 year total||Number of cases in 2020||% of 2020 year total||Number of cases in 2021||% of 2021 year total|
Mumps is one of a number of notifiable diseases. Doctors in Wales have a statutory duty to notify a 'Proper Officer' of the Local Authority of suspected cases of mumps based on clinical symptoms, usually before diagnosis has been confirmed by laboratory testing. Notifications of mumps represent the most complete source of data for surveillance.
Salivary samples are requested from some patients in Wales (and England) with suspected mumps, and are sent to UKHSA in Colindale for confirmation of mumps infection.
These are the data that are used to produce the trends graph and accompanying data tables on this website.
Mumps can be prevented by a highly effective and safe vaccine. This is part of the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) immunisation with a first dose at around 13 months and a second dose (booster) around three and a half years. Young adults and teenagers who have missed out on MMR vaccination as children are also encouraged to get immunised.
A complete course of the two doses will protect over 95% of children against measles, mumps and rubella.
The uptake of MMR (and other childhood) vaccination in Wales is recorded in the COVER (Coverage of Vaccination Evaluation Rapidly) report. This is published on both a quarterly and annual basis. Use the link below to access all COVER reports from 2003 to date.

Bakers are moving on from straight partially hydrogenated oil (pho) replacement to other challenges like improved functionality, ease-of-use, nutrition and cleaner labels, but each product and its priorities are different. To meet these varying degrees of challenges, shortening suppliers are creating customized solutions for bakers’ specific needs.
“One size does not fit all,” said Rudy Nava, customer innovation applications specialist, AAK. “There are many specialized shortening needs coming from bakeries today. They need their products to deliver consistent high quality with texture, flavor and color attributes that set them apart from the competition.”
Shortenings must perform a lot of different functions across the spectrum of applications they’re found in. Without the stability of phos to fall back on, shortening suppliers have widened their offerings in the hope of covering that entire spectrum.
“More shortenings have been developed to fit more specific needs, from the sharp melt point profile needed for frying pastries to the cold temperature hardness to provide the perfect crust for pies,” said Rick Cummisford, director of quality, Columbus Vegetable Oils.
In fact, 15 years ago, he said, Columbus Vegetable Oils had 12 shortenings. Today, the company manufactures more than 80.
“Function in the finished product and customer process is only one part of the whole equation,” he said. “Other factors include cost, stability, label-friendliness as well as softer aspects such as organic and non-G.M.O. sourcing, sustainable sourcing or natural.”
Blending hard stocks and oils or using enzymatic interesterification can help ingredient suppliers find the shortening for a baker’s product. These methods address gaps that exist if a baker were to use a single source of fat or oil for his or her shortening, explained Tom Tiffany, senior technical sales manager, oils, ADM.
“Palm oil alone at times can form a very firm shortening, which can create difficulties in mixing,” he said. “By blending palm oil with soybean oil, the solid fat content and crystallization tendency of the shortening improves to allow for more uniform mixing.”
The company has also addressed the same issue with a line of soybean oil-based interesterified shortenings that are also less firm than palm-based options.
When working on customizing a shortening solution, it’s important the ingredient supplier have a thorough understanding of how the elements of fat can be blended or interesterified to find the right ratio. It’s also important to understand the baker’s finished product goals.
“Many companies use the addition of vegetable hard fat or saturated fat to provide the structure needed to replace phos in shortening,” said Steven Council, customer innovation manager, AAK USA. “A technique employed more recently to produce shortenings from vegetable oils is to blend fully hydrogenated oils with unsaturated soft oils and then interesterify them.” This process allows formulators to use the benefits of the hard-fat structure of fully hydrogenated oils with the pliability of the softer oils in one shortening.
The array of shortening solutions for bakers today is vast, from palm- and soy-based to new high-performance options. This diversity in base oils as well advancements in blending and interesterification have enabled ingredient suppliers to deliver custom, application-specific shortening solutions to bakers.
“The wide variety of pho alternatives shows that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution but that a unique solution can be found for every application,” said Mark Stavro, senior director of marketing, Bunge Loders Croklaan.
With the expertise of ingredient suppliers and the right base oils and hard stocks, bakers can take advantage of improved shortening ingredients.

There's also an abandoned structure nearby with a cement pool, changing rooms, and rooms for private baths. Apparently, the two nearest towns built this to be a tourist site about 5-10 years ago, but it didn't workout. However, it surprising that it was abandoned, as the building materials alone are worth a lot, especially this high up in the Sierras.
Another interesting note, is the litter surrounding the place. There are a ton of soap wrappers and empty individual packets of shampoo all over. Sara and another volunteer tried to address this, with little success. However, it's funny to hear her tell the story about how they tried to hold a "natural spa day" at the hot springs, and how the local women didn't take too well to it. From Sara's perspective, using natural ingredients like avocados, sugar, and eggs for face wraps, hair conditioners, and skin rubs seemed like it would be a environmentally friendly hit. To the woman that attended, it just seemed like a dumb waste of food. You win some and you lose some.
