Dog that bit QC boy has been found and shots are current
DAVENPORT — The family who was searching for the pit bull mix who bit a nine-year-old boy is breathing a sigh of relief. The dog has been found.
“Dog came out here, jumped up and grabbed his arm right here and knocked him down,” said Shawn Skinner.
Caleb’s family began searching for the dog and its owner, trying to figure out if the dog had all of its shots so that Caleb wouldn’t have to undergo any counteractive medical treatment.
On Tuesday, June 13th there was good news; the dog was located. And not only was the dog found, but its shots were all current, said Caleb’s mom Christine.
“Caleb is free and clear from having to get any rabies treatments,” Christine said.
The woman who had the dog voluntarily surrendered it; Christine said she and her family are very thankful for that.
Even though the dog’s vaccination records were on file at the animal control center, it will be quarantined as a precaution.

ATLANTA — Georgia officials have once again approved a specialty license plate featuring the Confederate battle flag, infuriating civil rights advocates and renewing a debate among those who believe the symbol honors Confederate heritage and those who see it as racially charged.
The Georgia division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans requested the new plate design, and the Georgia Department of Revenue approved it. The group’s old plate had a small Confederate battle flag. The new one features an additional, larger image that covers the entire plate.
Spokesman Ray McBerry said the group meant no offense and views the plates as a way for people to honor their heritage. Southern Christian Leadership Conference spokesman Maynard Eaton told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution the state shouldn’t have sanctioned the move.
Governor Nathan Deal said Tuesday that he was unaware of the plate.

Who we are
The heartbeat of the Wildrun® is exploring & experiencing truly wild places on the run. Be it on the Wild Coast of South Africa, the remote mountains of Lesotho, the geologically & botanically rich Richtersveld desert or the bushveld of Mapungubwe, each Wildrun® is unique and will be sure to leave an indelible impression on your life.
No markers. No massive crowds. Just you, your sense of adventure and a truly wild place. Be prepared to experience a run like no other.
The Story of
What we're about
Three or more days of wilderness trail running through some of the most rugged and beautiful scenery in Southern Africa. This is the backbone of a Wildrun®.
The Wildrun® is organised by Wildrunner, premier trail running event organisers in South Africa. We focus on pure trail running with a heartbeat born from a lifetime's passion of exploring wild places on the run.
Wildrunner was established in November 2007 and has held over 200 trail running events in seven South African provinces, as well as Internationally in Lesotho, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Botswana.
With this comes a wealth of trail and mountain running event management experience that is unmatched in Africa.
Who runs the world
Founder & Managing Director
Trail running, sailing, mountaineering, adventure racing, orienteering, surfing, paddling, kloofing, rock climbing, fly fishing, scuba diving & mountain biking are the life-blood of what makes Owen tick.
The Real Boss. She is the backbone of Wildrunner and will put a smile on your face any time of the day. Her passion is people, with a healthy dose of scuba diving, trail running and general adventure-seeking thrown in!
Chief of the 100 acre wood (and damn good at catering to!)
Marion's ability to cook up a feast in the middle of nowhere is a gift. She is never short on laughter or practical jokes, but when it comes to delivery always the consummate professional, and when you taste her food you will no doubt agree!
Hospitality & logistics
When not organising events Jason can be found smashing the waves on his surfboard or cruising the cattle trails on his Momsen mountain bike. From entertaining guests to making a plan with broken trailers, Jason is the wild asset working tirelessly behind the scenes to keep operations moving ahead smoothly.
What people are saying
"I just want to say a huge thank you to you and Owen and your entire caring professional team. The attention to detail in making this a memorable life experience didn't go unnoticed. I am super grateful for the amazing goodie bag and the kit bag! How you guys managed to make the camping so very liveable in such a remote place, I'll never know! Thank you for creating an experience which allowed me to experience what could easily be the most beautiful place I've ever been."
Just wanted to say thank you very much for such an inspiring unbelievable experience.
What a privilege to be able to participate in the journey event over the past few days. Trail was indescribably beautiful and was a pleasure to run. Thanks to Owen and team for the world class basis in which you have organized this event. I will definitely be back.
Still can hardly believe that we were lucky enough to experience such a unique adventure . It really was special the attention to detail, the food , the animals and the amazing staff .
Thanks to you and Owen (+ team of course) for a brilliantly organised event – was fab, what a course, what a place, and would do it year after year if there wasn’t so much else out there to do and see. And I think the absolute best was that AMAZING blanket – I had a very cosy Sunday afternoon snooze beneath it last w/e, what bliss!!!!!!!
Thanks again to the entire team for a fantastic and memorable event
Wildrun Africa’s Rwanda 2019 inaugural trip was an absolute treat – from start to finish. Owen, Chris and their team of four local Rwandan youngsters Jado, Olivier, Emanuel and Danny laid on a completely unique trail-running experience. The Rwanda Wildrun was a bucket-lister of note that exceeded all my expectations. Rwanda has a very tangible soul – she is powerful, positive, hopeful. As a country, she has drawn me in hook, line and sinker and I have fallen quite hopelessly in love.
It's hard to really pinpoint what the very best thing about the Richtersveld Wildrun™ was for me. One would think the amazing, breathtaking rough beauty of the area would win hands-down… but on second thoughts, I think the warmth of the hosts and the people of the area, and the camaraderie of the fellow runners might just have snuck in and taken first place in my heart.
As with all Wildrunner’s events, the organisation is slick and everything happens like clockwork – and achieving that in remote regions is often harder than running the routes themselves! Huge thumbs up to Owen, Tam and the rest of the Wildrunner team for this great Lesotho gem of an event.
"It was amazing! I enjoyed each moment and we saw more wildlife I thought we would see!! Also the landscapes were amazing, especially in Mapungubwe."

Grasshoppers Infest Nearly 40 Square Miles Of Central Idaho
Officials with the Idaho Department of Agriculture say a grasshopper infestation is damaging crops and fields in Valley County.
Mike Cooper with the department's Plant Industries division told KTVB that the hot, dry weather is providing perfect conditions for grasshoppers to multiply, and the population has exploded since the Fourth of July.
Cooper says more than 37 square miles around Cascade, Donnelly, Round Valley and Lake Fork have been hit hardest by the infestation. State workers began spraying for the critters last Thursday, and they hope to complete the task this week.
State standards say a grasshopper outbreak reaches damaging levels when there are eight grasshoppers per square yard. Cooper says there are more than 200 grasshoppers per square yard in parts of Valley County.

WASHINGTON – Delaware pediatrician Earl Bradley's office looked like a fun place to visit: a merry-go-round and miniature Ferris wheel twirled in the yard, a statue of Buzz Lightyear perched on the roof and a purple hippo swung from a sign. But prosecutors say the office on heavily traveled Route 1 was less like a carnival and more like a house of horrors.
For years, they say, Bradley used his office to sexually abuse scores of mostly female patients, videotaping some of the abuse in exam rooms decorated with images of "Pinocchio" and "The Little Mermaid."
Bradley faces hundreds of charges when he goes on trial Wednesday in Georgetown, Del. So far, however, information about the trial has been sparse. A gag order issued by Judge William Carpenter Jr. has prevented Bradley's attorneys, prosecutors and others involved from talking. So, what is known comes largely from court documents, a state-ordered review of the case and a few hearings.
"Answers are going to come out at the trial. You just don't know if that's going to satisfy all of people's questions," psychologist Joseph Zingaro, who ran a support group for area parents after Bradley was arrested in 2009 but was speaking generally about the case. "I suspect some people are going to be pretty frustrated with the outcome, no matter what it is."
Already, however, Bradley's defense team has suffered a major defeat. His attorneys had argued that graphic videos of Bradley abusing children should not be presented at trial because police obtained the homemade footage during an illegal search. But Carpenter ruled in April in favor of prosecutors, saying the videos, which document instances of rape and oral sex, could be shown.
Following the ruling, Bradley agreed to have the case heard by the judge, not a jury, meaning trial will likely last days rather than weeks. Experts speculated at the time that Bradley's attorneys would consent to a so-called "stipulated trial," essentially conceding the taped evidence in order to conclude the trial quickly and move on to an appeal.
Jules Epstein, who teaches criminal law and evidence courses at Widener University law school in Wilmington, Del., said a stipulated trial could take only hours. But not everyone is sure that's what will happen. Thomas Reed, who also teaches at Widener, believes the trial will last weeks.
Two parents who suspect their children were victims of Bradley's say they hope the trial will likely be short, so as not to prolong their ordeal. One of the two, a father whose daughter developed a sudden aversion to Bradley at age 4, said even if Bradley gets life in prison, it won't be enough.
"I think all of us fathers want five minutes alone with him," said the man, who is not being named to protect his daughter's identity. The Associated Press does not identify alleged victims of sexual abuse.
According to an independent review ordered by Delaware Gov. Jack Markell after Bradley's arrest in December 2009, the first documented allegation of abuse surfaced against Bradley in June 1994 in Philadelphia, where he began to practice medicine after graduating from medical school at Temple University. That allegation was eventually dismissed, but Bradley moved to Beebe Hospital in Lewes, Del., soon after, and there were new allegations in 1996.
A nurse who worked with Bradley told a supervisor that she believed Bradley was ordering too many catheterizations of female patients to obtain urine samples. He also kissed patients excessively, she said, and she became concerned he was taking patients' pictures without parents' consent. The hospital investigated, but Bradley's catheterizations were not found improper, and it doesn't seem his excessive kissing was ever examined.
Scattered reports of improprieties continued to surface over the years as Bradley moved and eventually opened a private practice, BayBees Pediatrics.
In 2004, his sister, Lynda Barnes, who worked for him as an office manager, contacted officials saying her brother needed medical help. Barnes, who did not respond to a recent telephone message left by The Associated Press, said parents had complained that Bradley inappropriately touched girls he treated. Milford, Del., police interviewed her in 2005 in connection with an abuse investigation, but the attorney general's office decided not to prosecute the case.
Delaware police investigated three other complaints of inappropriate conduct by Bradley in late 2008. However, prosecutors say he abused many other patients by the time he was arrested .
Ann Burgess, a professor at Boston College who has written about sexual exploitation of patients by doctors, said Bradley's case is consistent with others she has studied. It's common for pedophiles to keep photos or videos that often ultimately trap them, she said. And often there are years of innuendo, she said, because it's hard to believe children without proof.
"Nobody suspects a doctor," Burgess said.
Associated Press writer Randall Chase in Dover, Del., contributed to this report.

Case Study: Why International Mobility Insurtech Company Zego Chose Gibraltar
“The Gibraltar Financial Services Commission was incredibly thorough, they asked a lot of tough questions to check that everything was in place”
Well-known for a welcoming regulatory environment and close relationships with the United Kingdom giving companies access to the UK market, Gibraltar has always displayed a long-standing commitment to supporting businesses in both the finance, insurance and more recently, the technology sector. This has naturally resulted in an increase in the number of insurtech businesses Gibraltar supports.
One particular company utilising Gibraltar's business friendly model is insurtech company Zego. Zego has been in business for four years and focuses on providing insurance on a flexible basis for drivers working in the last mile delivery space, for companies such as Deliveroo. The company offers insurance products to these customers by mile or by hour basis. By insuring customers based on their driving ability, for example giving good drivers a cheaper and better rate, they display a deep understanding of the needs of their customers. They also recently widened their scope to commercial fleets.
We caught up with Sten Saar, CEO and Co-Founder of Zego, to hear their Gibraltar story.
An open, transparent, communicative approach
According to Sten, one of the main reasons Zego chose to base their company, Extracover Insurance Company Limited, in Gibraltar is because of the friendly, fast paced start-up environment Gibraltar provides. Zego wanted to be able to operate and open up as quickly as they possibly could. Gibraltar provided them with the right conditions for this, as well as an opportunity to work closely with a fast-moving, proactive regulator.
In the fast-growing insurtech industry, companies seek partners they can seamlessly communicate with. In particular, for a new business, the ability to complete a process in as little as six to eight months subject to a comprehensive and professional business plan, rather than 16 months, can be make or break. Gibraltar's ability to provide an open, transparent, and communicative approach to start-ups is attracting worldwide businesses.
Access to the UK Market
Sten says that “access into the UK market is very important for us and for start-ups in general”. Zego has an underwriting team in Gibraltar and a FCA regulated business based in the UK. 92% of Gibraltar’s cross border financial services business is with the UK and approximately one in four UK motor insurance policies are provided by Gibraltar-based insurers. This is evidence of the strong collaborative relationship Gibraltar has with the UK insurance sector.
Zego is one example of a success story accelerated by the benefits Gibraltar has to offer. Gibraltar is looking forward to continuing to support insurtech-focused companies, including those already based there and companies looking to join.

Bleak, dark and hopeless –these are what you will generally hear when the topic of the future of journalism comes up in this digital age but the actual story is really not that hopeless. Without a doubt, the world wide web has had the most profound impact in the field of journalism and has changed the dimension of the entire sector. The big newspapers are seeing a decline in their printed version purchasers but their online subscribers are going on increasing. This is creating a fresh demand for new journalists with a sound technical knowledge and the digital age is actually bringing more positives into the field.
As budding journalists, it is natural to ponder upon the possibilities that await you after passing out from one of the best colleges for journalism. With fewer readers for the printed versions, the scope of landing a job there definitely seems bleak. As for the digital form, the scenario is entirely different. The online side of journalism is where opportunities are endless and the field is far away from dying. There are two edges to this sword after all and it’s not necessary that you will have to end up on the wrong side.
There’s more competition, but there are that many opportunities
You may not be a part of the Telegraph or the Hindustan Times, but you may work as a journalist for Scoophoop or Buzzfeed. Your profile will remain the same and your salary will be comparable as well. The ease of publication and the reach of the audience through the digital medium has brought in more players into the market which literally translates into more opportunities. If one door closes due to revenue-generation reasons, there are always others waiting for you just around the corner. Unlike the previous generation and before the internet appeared, your journalism career was over after trying a few big firms.The digital age brings along openings.
News travels faster in the digital medium, which creates more job profiles
The reality does not have to wait overnight now to find its way to the papers. While things are happening in real time, people begin to search for them online and the newspapers must provide to hold on to their readers. Due to this, the brands need more people to man their different departments and post an update almost immediately upon their arrival. There has to be a field agent, a writer, an editor and a publisher working in tandem behind one single news. All these combined create that many job profiles and firms have no alternative but to hire that many people to stay ahead of the competition. Naturally, the demand for qualified journalists are higher now and a degree from the best university for journalism in Delhi like the Lingaya’s Lalita Devi Institute of Management & Sciences will help you to make an easy cut. It is a premier IP university college based in South Delhi, and offers a reputed course in Journalism.
There are independent platforms for posting news, and you can harness that
In this digital age, you really do not have to join a newspaper brand to become a journalist. The internet has grown to be more user-friendly in the past decade and you don’t have to be tech savvy to post your story online. You can research, generate a news and post it on social media. Or you can choose publishing platforms like the Medium or Tumblr to reach out to the available audience. You may also choose to have your own personal blog where you can have live feeds and gain your own set of subscribers and ultimately stay away from all these talks of an uncertain future. And in the end, if you do want to be a part of a big company, use the profile that you have built online as your portfolio to have an easy ticket. Journalism, in the digital age, is that simple.
And finally, you can choose your topic for journalism
Politics, sports or technology. Automobile, travel or finance. The internet has made information so easily available and readers are now privy to a variety of fields. They subscribe to the newspapers that have all the options and trust the ones that churn out daily news in all. So, even while studying at the top IP university colleges for journalism and after passing out, you have the option to choose your preferred field to be a journalist in and build your expertise accordingly. All sectors have a comparable number of readers and there is demand for reporters in all fields. Before the internet, only a few sectors made it to the papers. Now, every topic must be covered on the website.
So, rise beyond the talks of uncertainty and follow your passion to be a journalist. The digital age presents more opportunities than curbing them. Develop your skills, select the right institute and begin a flying career without hesitation.


Electric vehicle (EV) drivers in the capital city of British Columbia will soon be able to get a boost at the city’s first DC fast charger.
In collaboration with BC Hydro, the City of Victoria is currently installing two DC fast chargers in the downtown area on Store Street between Johnson Street and Pandora Avenue. Construction is expected to be complete by April.
The City of Victoria currently has the highest rate of EV adoption in Canada. Mayor Lisa Helps says the addition will help the province reach its targets for zero emission vehicles.
“British Columbia’s Zero Emissions Act 2019 requires that by 2040, all new light duty vehicle sales and leases must be zero emissions vehicles” said Mayor Lisa Helps. “Greater Victoria has the highest percentage of EV sales in Canada and the City is excited to break ground on this fast charging station that will support this transition to zero emissions vehicles.”
The new chargers will complement the 19 existing level 2 public chargers located in the city’s five parkades. Six new level chargers were recently installed on Broad Street.

There are many benefits when it comes to shopping local. Spending money where you live helps the entire community in ways shoppers and consumers may not even realize.
The trickle-down effect can help create more jobs in the area, support local sports teams, and benefit charities in the community that help residents in times of need.
“It’s very important not to forget that it’s the local small businesses that make the local young teams in sports, the ladies in the Auxiliary for the hospital and other fundraising societies to be constantly encouraged because the businesses they go to (for donations) give them a positive response,” said Harry Minci, who’s a director with the Clearwater Chamber of Commerce and owner of his own small business, Clearwater Gems and Gifts.
“Now if the business is not doing well, eventually they’ll not be able to give a positive response and that will also depress the situation of that team or society.”
Owners of online shopping websites or out of town businesses are also less likely to take part in such sponsorships and money spent with them will likely not end up in the local economy.
Shopping at a local business helps keep money in the community as owners often source materials, products and services from other nearby companies, which in turn helps them grow as well.
This can also lead to job creation because the busier a business is, the more staff that’s needed to operate and provide the goods and services they offer.
“Even for youngsters in school, (most small businesses) are always happy to be part of their success,” said Minci.
“Whether we do a scholarship, or make a donation, or any kind of support, we’ll be there, and I think for certain I speak for most retailers that they want to do the same or they’re already doing it and not many people are aware of it.”
So before going online to find that sought after item, or taking a trip out of town to go shopping, peruse the shops and establishments in your own town first to see if they have what you’re after — the benefits of spending your dollar locally could be felt across the entire community.

The daily dose of vitamin D advised for mothers during lactation are currently 400 IU/day. The authors say this dose is too low, especially for dark pigmented people. Rickets in infancy is an increasing problem in the breastfed children because of the current fear of the sun and of skin cancer. Vitamin D is converted to 25-(OH)D, a hormone, in the liver. This is converted to the active form, 1,25-(OH)D, by the kidney.
Light skinned people who have full body exposure to the sun for 10-15 minutes at peak times in the summer can produce as much as 20,000 IU of vitamin D per day. This is without sun screen.
The purpose of this study is to determine the proper dose of vitamin D to promote the health and nutritional status of mothers and their nursing infants. The results show that for pregnant mothers 2000 IU of vitamin D per day is an adequate dose and 4000 IU per day is an improved dose to prevent rickets in infants.
Mothers were given various doses of vitamin D and the antirachitic activity (25-hydroxyvitamin D) of the blood of the mothers and their nursing babies was determined. Without sun exposure and with 400 IU/day to the mothers, the babies could not sustain adequate levels of 25-(OH)D. At doses of 2000 IU/day, the children had increased levels of 25-(OH)D, although to a limited degree. The dose of 4000 IU/day to the mother, there was a marked improvement in the babies’ nutritional vitamin D status.
The authors gave people as much as 10 times the RDI (recommended daily intake) with no negative effect over 3 months. There was no hypercalciuria (calcium in the urine.)
CONCLUSION: Vitamin D is important to promote bone growth in infants and for preventing bone deterioration as humans age. Supplementation of milk with vitamin D nearly eliminated rickets in the 1930’s. But, the fear of the sun that has grown since that time has greatly reduced our bodies content of vitamin D, in general. The problem is especially acute for dark skinned populations and for people who wear sun block.

Phase change materials (PCMs) are substances that can absorb or release large amounts of latent heat. This happens when their physical state changes, generally, either from solid to liquid or vice versa.
Microcalorimetry is a technique for measuring the energy absorbed or released during a phase change process thus enabling the amount of energy to be quantified in real-time.
This technique also enables the successive melting and crystallisation of PCMs used in various applications to test them for long term usefulness and stability.
A phase change material (PCM) is a substance that stores and releases thermal energy. When a PCM crystallises, it releases large amounts of energy (exothermic) and, when it melts, changing from solid to liquid form, it absorbs an equal amount of energy (endothermic).
PCMs are useful for thermal energy storage, where you can store either hot or cold energy up for later release.
They also work as insulation or thermal barriers, in practical applications such as temperature-controlled transport.
The use of PCMs have been used for many years, simply because the most fundamental and widely used phase change material is water-ice
There are various broad types of PCMs:
Of these broad categories, inorganic PCMs are the cheapest to produce and obtain, with a high latent heat capacity and high thermal conductivity.
Organic PCMs, consisting of paraffin and non-paraffin groups, will freeze without supercooling (unlike inorganic PCMs) and have a high latent heat capacity, but producing them is costly, and can
be highly flammable.
Bio-based PCMs are non-toxic, economical and have a high latent heat capacity. However, their thermal conductivity is poor.
PCMs have applications in a range of sectors and products, including the construction industry, transport and electrical appliances.
Successive melting and crystallisation can make PCMS more effective and efficient for use in building insulation systems where they are required to be used in many heat-cool cycles without losing thermal efficiency.
What these processes do is to enable the material to dampen the effects of day and night-time outdoor temperature variations while maintaining acceptable indoor temperatures.
Building materials such as bricks, flooring, ceiling and roofing materials can incorporate these PCMs.
To maximise the design and effectiveness of PCMs in this way, the melting and crystallisation processes must be fully understood and accurately characterised.
The technique for doing this is microcalorimetry.
Calorimetry is the science of measuring heat changes, and microcalorimetry is an ultra-sensitive development of this.
Microcalorimetry measures very small heat changes in samples, and it is a proven technique for accurately predicting the storage life of materials.
In terms of thermal analysis, it can measure changes in heat flow versus temperature in real-time, with modern devices for microcalorimetry incorporating highly sensitive heating and cooling systems.
The Microcalvet range of microcalorimeters from Setaram combine high sensitivity with very accurate temperature measurements.
These devices consist of a sensor that is made up of many thermocouples (thermopile) surrounding the sample and reference vessel thus measuring heat absorbed/evolved in all directions unlike a conventional plate differential scanning calorimeter.
Different types of measurement cell enable different samples sizes to be studied under a range of conditions including under controlled pressure environments (up to 1000bar) so not only can we measure heat flow versus temperature and time but also versus pressure.
Example of heat flow versus temperature profile for a PCM studied at different heating and cooling rates is shown below.
The slower heating rates that can be employed in the Calvet calorimeters are representative of real-world conditions for PCMs, and thus for testing and analysing the capabilities of PCMs under simulated real-life conditions, microcalorimetry is an ideal technique.
The Microcalvet by Setaram is an excellent tool for studying the melting and crystallization of Phase Change Materials. If you are interested in learning more about this or other products, contact us today.

Packers agree to terms with Trevor Davis
The Green Bay Packers have agreed to contract terms with fifth-round receiver Trevor Davis, a source confirmed Thursday.
Davis, a senior receiver at Cal, was drafted with the 163rd pick in the fifth round. A source said Davis’ deal will pay the slotted amount for his draft spot. The 163rd pick is projected to receive $2.567 million over four seasons, with a $227,176 signing bonus and $506,794 cap hit in 2016, according to Spotrac.com.
Under the NFL’s slotted salary system for drafted players, the 163rd overall pick’s total compensation has increased 3.2 percent each season. A year ago, the Dallas Cowboys drafted Purdue defense end Ryan Russell with the 163rd overall pick in the fifth round. Russell’s deal paid him $2.482 million over four years, according to Spotrac.

Thompson sheds little light on Packers' draft
It's unlikely Davis would count against the cap this season. Only the 51 richest contracts count against a team's cap. Davis, the second-to-last player Packers general manager Ted Thompson drafted in this class, would figure to not crack the 51.
Davis brings speed to a Packers receiving group that needs it. His 4.42-secon, 40-yard dash at the third-fastest at the NFL scouting combine in February and could be good value in the late fifth round. The Packers also believe Davis is a smooth route runner, making cuts without losing speed.
"Very smooth. Sudden," director of football operations Eliot Wolf said. "Plays mostly outside there, but can also play in the slot. Really drops his weight well. Good route runner."
Davis had 40 catches, 672 yards and two touchdowns playing in the same offense as Cal quarterback Jared Goff, the No. 1 overall pick to the Los Angeles Rams. In a balanced passing attack, he was the Golden Bears’ fourth receiver.
Of course, Davis will join another former Cal quarterback in Green Bay. He's already excited to catch passes from Aaron Rodgers.
"I know my favorite quarterback is on their team," Davis said. "My boy that plays on their team from Cal. It's great. I've followed him throughout my career. I grew up in the Bay Area, but just knowing that they have such a great quarterback is just amazing for a receiver like me."

A Co Down chef has won a top prize in what is known as the 'Grammys of the sandwich world', or 'The Sammies'.
Gary McDowell, Head of Food Innovation at Deli Lites Ireland Ltd, claimed the accolade of Sandwich Designer of the Year at the annual British Sandwich & Food to Go Industry Awards.
The creation, entitled 'Make a Pig of Yourself' was designed by Gary for the Warrenpoint based food company and left judges mouths-watering.
Combining pulled pork, vintage cheddar, sea salt and black pepper creamy rice, spinach, Bramley apple and chilli salsa, crispy onion and pork crackling all wrapped up within a Mission Foods sage & onion tortilla and then deep-fried, it’s not hard to see why the judges were so impressed.
Jim Winship, director, of The British Sandwich & Food to Go Association said: “What we tasted at this event were no ordinary sandwiches…with ingredients like duck confit, mashed potato, cronuts and bacon and banana (together) our chefs are pushing the boundaries of creativity within everyone’s favourite everyday dining staple. We’ve tasted some truly tremendous sandwiches!
“Gary’s creation demonstrated an astute understanding of flavour and texture combinations and deep-frying the sandwich gave it a wonderful crispness while really adding to the depth of flavour. It was delicious.”
Organised by the British Sandwich & Food to Go Association the winners of this year’s Sammies, were announced just in time for British Sandwich Week which begins on 22 May.
This year’s entries were unwrapped, sampled, and judged by a panel of industry experts which included celebrity chef Theo Randall, sandwich guru Max Halley and industry heavyweights James Newton-Brown (M&S) and Marta Pogroszewska (Gail’s Bakery).
Winners were revealed by Theo Randall and comedian Jo Caulfield during a gala evening at the Royal Lancaster, London.
Jim continued: “The Sammies is always a highlight in the calendar, and it is also a precursor to the annual British Sandwich Week, a seven-day celebration aiming to support the industry and celebrate the nation’s love of a good sarnie. Some say, with all the events at this time of year, that it’s sandwich season in the industry. Yet, we like to think that sandwiches are in season no matter what the time of year!”

With a glance to the future Comms Business Magazine reviews the current activity from the major headset vendors and their distributors to establish the trends in the market and provide some sales tips with which to generate extra margin.
The future for the headset market looks very exciting when you factor in newer technology coming through from the consumer market. Thetrend towards wearable technology is certain to deliver new ways of working and new applications to the headset market just as consumers, by way of bringing their own devices in to the workplace, have influenced business practices.
The wearable technology market is in the midst of a boom and shows no signs of slowing down. Deloitte recently revealed that it expects the industry to generate $50 billion by 2018, and predicted that over 100 million wearable devices will be in use by 2020.
Plantronics observes that the roots of this market can be traced back to a device that has for years provided intuitive hands-free functionality to businesses, the headset and says that today, forward-looking vendors are looking beyond traditional audio functions and entering a world of contextual awareness in which their devices better understand their users.
Already the vendor is integrating sensors and software that can anticipate users’ needs into their products. With these additions, headsets can factor where people are and what they are doing into how they operate to proactively deliver a more intuitive user experience. These devices can increase productivity by automatically answering calls, and help improve data security by proactively locking wearers’ PC screens whenever they walk away from their computers.”
Paul Dunne, Head of Channel Sales commented, “The headset industry is an exciting place to be at the moment. One of the biggest technological developments we’ve seen is the ability of new headsets to connect with two or three devices at once, and to automatically update their wearers’ UC presence on Microsoft Lync and Skype whether they are on a PC or mobile call. With many people now working with multiple technologies simultaneously, keeping them connected to the system no matter which of these they are using has become critical for businesses. In response, headsets have begun adapting to connect with a wide range of technologies, including soft phones, smartphones, tablets, and gaming consoles.”
As headsets become more intuitive and more closely integrated with software, the stage is set for developers to get involved in the innovation process and customise products to address the needs of specific businesses.
Whilst we may all eagerly await these new developments and the opportunities for sales they will create we have today a vibrant market for existing products as Guy Koster, Director Lync Business Practice EMEA at Westcon comments.
“Over the last year Westcon has experienced exceptional growth in its headset business as demand for headset devices has soared, resulting from increased use of Unified Communications and Collaboration solutions from vendors including Microsoft, Polycom, Avaya and Cisco. Due to the exponential rise in the use of mobile devices (particularly smart phones and tablets) the addressable market has also grown significantly.
Headset device vendors also report that growth from their portfolio of professional UC&C devices is typically twice that of their average growth, confirming that the headset category is the fastest growing in the UC market.
Historically, businesses would typically invest in a UC solution without budgeting for headsets that are necessary for a reliable, high-quality deployment. Acquiring low-cost, low-quality devices at the last minute can compromise the quality of the users’ experience, and would often result in a business being unable to realise the full anticipated ROI from their investment in the UC solution and the IT Department being blamed for inadequate performance. Businesses are now realising, with guidance from the channel, that the ‘last three feet’ – the space between the users’ device and their ear – is the most important, in the sense of maintaining the quality of the UC experience from the users’ perspective. Evolving changes in procurement policy, with responsibility for decision making moving away from the IT Department and into Line Of Business stake holders is changing the rules and businesses can now begin to harness the collaborative benefits of their chosen UC solution by planning for the costs of headsets in advance and within their overall UC budget.
Major headset vendors are also working closely with vendors such as Avaya, Microsoft and Cisco to ensure their headsets are optimised to provide the best possible user experience.”
Nigel Holland, Product Manager for Telecoms at Sennheiser, says that in terms of the market drivers, there’s one factor that is bigger than anything else – adoption of Unified Communications technology.
“UC is by far the biggest driver of professional communication UK headset growth with estimated headset attach rates at least reaching 60% per active endpoint compared to 5% for a desk phone. The general consensus in the headset industry is that by 2016, UC headset revenues will account for at least 50% of the available market.
Why this growth? Well, laptops and desktops when not assisted by a headset or similar peripheral communication device are not optimised for telephony, which can often result in a poor quality call experience.
As a parallel trend, we’re also seeing a strong migration to wireless headset solutions, with a rise in the use of wireless devices from 8% in 2009 to 40% in 2011. Current wireless adoption rates are even higher and now account for approximately 50% of total revenues across the professional communication headset category. In particular we have seen a significant rise in adoption at contact centres, previously a bastion for corded headsets. This is a very significant market in the UK with presently over a million dedicated contact centre workers.”
Nigel Dunn, Managing Director for Jabra Business Solutions UK & Ireland, has seen that Unified Communications has become more prevalent in the last 12 months, with customers moving on from pilot stage into full deployment, as they make decisions to invest in the technology.
‘We are therefore seeing these deployment accounts investing predominately in mid-range corded headsets. This implies that customers now understand that the quality of the audio device selected is integral to the overall implementation and how they can be instrumental in making or breaking a successful deployment, whilst more importantly, being key to encouraging wide-scale adoption.”
James Burns, Business Unit Manager – UC Devices at Exertis Micro-P says that the Contact Centre and Office market is still a core area for them and their partners.
“The adoption of wireless technologies in the traditional CC & O space continues to increase. Our headset portfolio is now labelled the CCU&O portfolio to reflect the rise in the adoption of multi-purpose UC headsets. These are channelled through not only our traditional voice partners and headset specialists, but our upturn in this area reflects how the IT VAR channel has adopted and continues to adopt voice technology. As end users are rationalising their supply chains, this is inevitably reflected right throughout the supply chain to distribution and vendor level where our partners are looking for a single distributor to facilitate all their technology requirements. Exertis Micro-P’s extensive range of products and technologies allows our partners to do just that, from Networking and infrastructure to Mobile and UC End Points and Headsets.”
Tom Maxwell, Head of Dealer Sales at Nimans, is also seeing a strong and continuing theme towards UC and the Lync effect.
“There’s more and more adoption which is driving demand for optimised headsets. The end point is too often viewed as the last piece of the jigsaw and overlooked which is dangerous as it’s one of the most important factors to maximise audio performance and the user experience. Dealers are definitely getting in on the act and recognising that a headset has somewhat migrated in recent years. It’s now being viewed as an IT solution, not just a voice-based product. Many of the biggest orders are UC related.”
Is there a VoIP/Lync Effect?
Microsoft has seen quarter over quarter growth in its Lync business in excess of 30% over the preceding 5 quarters evidencing the fact that Lync is the fastest growing UC solution in this market category. As further evidence of acceleration in adoption of Lync as a business’s primary voice solution, respected industry analyst MZA recently reported that Lync is now the number three PBX vendor in North America. Jerry Caron, an analyst with Current Analysis also noted that ‘Microsoft has gone from nothing to third in two to three years. It’s become a very significant player in a very short period of time’.
Guy Koster at Westcon, believes that voice is a fundamental workload within the Lync solution – and provision of high-quality headsets within a deployment enable users to truly harness the power of voice and audio that can deliver the ‘full’ Lync experience.
“In a Lync deployment, the voice functionality can be enabled either using the Lync soft client or through an Ethernet or USB connected desktop handset that is Lync Optimised or Qualified in conjunction with a headset.
Discussing device selection at the initial planning stage of a Lync roll-out is critical – creating pilot groups profiled around different worker types is now considered ‘best practice’ to ensure appropriate devices are selected which best fit the group’s needs. When workers become familiar with using headsets (in conjunction with the Lync client or desk phone), there is a higher likelihood that the ‘full’ benefits attributable to a Lync deployment can be achieved by adopting a headset device
Anne Marie Ginn at Logitech for Business agrees when she says, “Absolutely. The economic recession of the last few years delayed companies plans to deploy UC clients in many cases, however with the economy turning around, there is a pent-up demand, and the market is forecast to grow double-digit for the coming years. The question is no longer whether to go VoIP or UC, it’s when, and increasingly companies are looking at hosted or cloud-based UC for increased cost-savings and flexibility.”
Nigel Dunn at Jabra is starting to see a VoIP/Lync effect, although he says it is currently still a slow-burner.
‘Voice applications are now beginning to be deployed, which will supplement the headset market with demand from these users, many of whom are new to the category as they previously haven’t used headsets with their deskphones. This transformation in workplace voice applications will drive mainstream headset adoption that in turn will reveal productivity and mobility gains and unlock the true benefits of UC, thus maximising infrastructure investment to order to deliver ROI.
An example of the Lync effect is positively emphasised by sales of Lync-optimised devices. We have seen 100% YoY growth of this particular SKU across our portfolio in 2013 versus 2012 and are therefore confident in predicting further implementation of these variants in 2014 and beyond. This has been driven by Lync being relatively unique in that it almost pushes companies to use softphone only, which means that headsets are mandatory. It helps save space on desks but headsets allow the user to freely interact in the new media-rich environment that Lync creates.”
As an aside, and in a nod to our business market consumerisation trends noted earlier Dunn says, “Another driver in general headset adoption is the consumer trend in audio headphones usage, removing the stigma around wearing a headset and turning it into a symbol of a more device/tech-savvy individual.”
James Burns at Exertis Micro-P says that Enterprise Voice rollouts are key for the distributor and their partners, with Cisco Jabba and Microsoft Lync as the core drivers.
“The most successful of our partners are those acting as a trusted advisor for all technologies. This is where Exertis MicroP steps in to support our reseller community with our in-house CCU&O expertise, helping to ensure our partners are not only capitalising on all sales opportunities, but more importantly, offering the right solutions most appropriate for each end user profile. For example, across a Lync or Jabba rollout, you could be looking at 5 or 6 different end user profiles, from the contact centre worker, through to the mobile road warrior – each of which requires a bespoke headset solution to fulfil their needs.
Lync, Jabba and Avaya One-X have created the need to refresh an end user’s traditional headset estate. The isn’t just a case of upgrading a phone system, increased softphone applications have generated the need to adopt a fit-for-purpose headset solution based upon the end-user’s profile. Ever-changing, more flexible ways of working demand multi-connectivity devices and UC end points. For example, whether I’m hosting an internal tele-conference with my team from the office, or speaking to my FD about an investment whilst travelling on the train, I expect the same user experience for myself and the other caller as if sat in my office using a traditional headset solution for my deskphone.
Complete headset estate refreshes occur when a solution such as Lync is adopted for enterprise voice – effectively a rip and replace of the end user’s communications platform. However, the reality is that end users will pilot a new solution such as Lync running it parallel (with limited functionality) with their existing solution such as a traditional PBX. This makes the need for a multi-connectivity headset solution an absolute necessity. Models such as the Plantronics Savi Wireless range of headsets and the MDA 200 communications hub allow users to switch seamlessly between multiple voice applications as well as transitioning to a UC headset whilst using their existing infrastructure.”
Burns concludes, “As the way in which we work continues to evolve, as does the technology we need to use. Plantronics have every platform, system and end user profile catered for.”
Nimans Tom Maxwell says Lync is slowly filtering down to the SMB.
“I was with a traditional PBX reseller recently and they are now selling Lync. A lot of the voice resellers are evolving and moving with the times on a weekly basis. However others still don’t fully understand what Lync is so as an industry we need to educate them more and this is an area Nimans is focusing on.”
David Whitehead from Headsets4Business believes many dealers are missing out on extra margin simply through neglect or due to failing to ask the right questions
“Neglecting the opportunity is largely down to two perceptions. The first is headsets are complicated, lots of different leads and many types of headset, and it’s easy to supply the wrong product. Secondly headsets have become commoditised and therefore the margin just isn’t there.
Both these perceptions are myths, a headset sale is remarkably simple, and if you supply the right product dealer margin is very good.
After neglect, failure to ask the right question is the major mistake. Simply asking your customer or prospect if he or she needs or wants any headsets just doesn’t cut it. The questions you ask need to be discussion provoking and you need your customer to departmentalise their business when you discuss headsets. The obvious benefits of health and well-being and increased productivity will be the deal makers, and the departments that will benefit the most will become clearly apparent. We work closely with partners so they understand which questions to ask in order to make the sale.
In addition, it’s important to know when to ask the questions, and with our proven strategy you get three bites at the cherry. Relevant questions about headsets should asked pre sale, at point of sale, and if necessary post sale (project management stage)
Asking the correct question at the right stages of the process will achieve great results. You have to integrate this into your overall sales process. So if you are primarily selling a telephone system, headsets become a natural part of the process.”
Whitehead adds, “Dealers want to know how much extra margin they can make by adding headsets to their portfolio. Research done with our resellers tells us an average profit return on a telephone system sale is circa £80.00 to £100.00 per extension. Profits of at least £20.00 per headset (even on an entry level wired headset) are achievable. So if a dealer sold a headset with every extension (an extra £20 profit per extension) their margin would increase by 20% – 25%. If they supplied headsets for half of the extensions they would make an extra 10% – 12.5%.
Multiply this extra margin across your annual system sales, and combine this with the opportunity to sell into your existing customer base, and you will have a serious increase in profit. So don’t miss out, because if you do you can be assured that someone else is selling headsets to your customers.”
We are going to see a shift in the future for headsets. If headsets are successfully integrated in to the huge boom in wearable technology we are seeing right now then with the right applications to grasp user attention the market for ‘smart’ headsets could explode from the home in to the work place. Watch this space…

Joseph W. Robinson, Sr., FAIA was born on November 25, 1927, in Hartsville, South Carolina at a time when the “Negro” was considered to be largely subservient to his white counterpart. The persistence of negative images of African Americans was ingrained in American culture and served as a constant reminder of the harsh discriminatory environment that existed during that time. Upon graduating from Hampton Institute with a Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture, Mr. Robinson, Sr. relocated to Atlanta. After being denied employment in the profession of architecture due to segregation, he started his career as a public school teacher at Booker T. Washington High School (1953-68) where he began inspiring students to enter the field of architecture.
Robinson started J. W. Robinson & Associates, Inc. more than 45 years ago with a focus on residential architecture because a license was not required. He designed over 200 private homes using architecture to reshape communities like Collier Heights that is now on the National Register of Historic Places. The Collier Heights Historic District is widely recognized as the premier example of mid-20th Century Suburban architecture developed between 1941 and 1979 exclusively for middle and upper-middle class African Americans.
Robinson’s leadership played a key role in preserving places that represent the cultural life and accomplishments of African Americans. He worked on many projects for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.‘s family to which included renovations to the King birth home, as well as the last home of Dr. King’s on Sunset Avenue. Coretta Scott King credited Robinson as being instrumental in bringing international acclaim to the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site by taking it from a dream to reality. He was the winner of over 40 individual awards, as well as serving as one of the co-founding members of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA). In 1995, he became the first African American in the State of Georgia to be elected to the College of Fellows in the American Institute of Architects (AIA). J.W. Robinson and & Associates, Inc. continues to be a beacon of success and perseverance, and a design leader for minority businesses and architects in Atlanta.
Robinson was married to Willie Louise Robinson and had three children, Joseph, Jeffrey, and Janice. He died in Atlanta at the age of eighty on September 14, 2008.
Today, Jeffrey L. Robinson, AIA, NOMA, is the president of J.W. Robinson & Associates, Inc., and Joseph Robinson, Jr. is responsible for the development and management of the firm’s production staff. Jeffrey and his brother continue the legacy of excellence in design started by the senior Robinson. During his StoryCorps interview, Jeffrey Robinson speaks passionately about being exposed to architecture at an early age by his father and how that impacted him as a child and a professional today. A graduate of Hampton University like his father, he recounts specific stories about his dad’s relationships with leading civil rights leaders like Dr. King and Ralph David Abernathy. He describes the Collier Heights homes designed by his father playing a crucial part in the Civil Rights Movement. Social and business meetings for many of its leaders were held in these homes, as they were unable to meet in many other parts of the city because of segregation.
Jeffrey gives vivid descriptions of the barriers his father faced after he came to Atlanta in 1949 as a result of segregation and the extreme impact of race discrimination in the architecture profession during the early 1950s and 1960s. In one story, he recounts a conversation with his father on the definition of the word “Negro” from 1929 describing a black man’s brain size and how he was not capable of independent thought. The younger Robinson believes the definition clearly highlighted the struggles and the mental slavery that his father’s generation had to suffer through to be successful. In another story he recalls his father describing Dr. King’s joy in playing with a remote for an automatic garage door, as he made the door go up and down. Such a device was rare at that time however, he needed it for security. Finally, he shares stories of discrimination in today’s architecture profession and how the, “fight is about being considered an equal…. Being considered equal as a designer” and how we still have a long way to go.
Jeffrey Robinson is very active in the leadership and practice of his firm and sits on several boards. He served as past president of the Atlanta Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects (1998-2000). He serves on the Architecture Advisory Board for Kennesaw State University and Advisory board for the Atlanta Center for Creative Inquiry, the non-profit foundation founded by fellow NOMA Atlanta Trailblazer Oscar Harris, which exposes youth to the profession of architecture in public high school throughout the Atlanta metro area. Joseph W. Robinson, Sr. and Jeffrey Robinson are members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. In his leisure, Jeffrey plays the French horn with the Metropolitan Atlanta Community Band. He is married to Clarissa Robinson and has three daughters, Chantia, Janae and Ciera.
Joseph W. Robinson, Sr.’s commitment to architecture and empowering the community during a time when African Americans were severely discriminated against continues to be a beacon of success and perseverance for minority architects. The firm he created, J.W. Robinson & Associates, Inc., leaves an incredible legacy that carries on through his sons as a design leader for minority businesses and architects in Atlanta – a major inspiration for the next generation of Atlanta architects that truly makes him one of NOMA Atlanta’s Trailblazers of Change.

Qualcomm has announced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 smartphone processor, the successor to the Snapdragon 888 chip that was found in many top smartphones over the past year. The chip is notable not only for its immense power and new nomenclature, but also for what it means to the future of smartphone photography.
We’re pretty excited about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and expect you are, too, so when will we get the chance to try one out in a new phone? Unsurprisingly, manufacturers are keen to let us know about upcoming phones with the processor inside, and announcements are already being made. Here’s a list of all the companies already working with Qualcomm to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but surprisingly, Samsung is currently missing from it.
OnePlus will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor in future smartphones, according to founder Pete Lau. He shared the news on his official Weibo social media page, saying the brand’s, “next generation new products” will use the platform. However, he did not mention the name of the devices — although we can assume he refers to the OnePlus 10 series — or when the phones may arrive.
Oppo quickly announced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 will be used in a new flagship smartphone coming during the first three months of 2022. The company has not revealed the name of the new phone, but it’s possible the device will replace the Find X3 Pro in Oppo’s range, as it was released at the beginning of March 2021.
Realme will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 platform in a new phone coming soon to its growing Realme GT range. The company has announced the upcoming Realme GT 2 Pro will use the chip. It’s the first time Realme will use the Pro name on a GT series model, and it has been described as its “most premium flagship phone” by Realme’s founder and CEO Sky Li on Twitter.
GT 2 Pro – that’s how we are going to name our first and most premium flagship phone. Always feel great to deliver something new and exciting to users worldwide. #realmeGT2Pro pic.twitter.com/ngX5VI409S
— Sky Li (@skyli_realme) November 29, 2021
The phone hasn’t been revealed officially and Realme says it has only been in development for a few months. The company has not provided an approximate launch date for the GT 2 Pro yet. However, a render may have given us an early look at the phone’s design, which is reminiscent of the Google Pixel 6 Pro and the old Google Nexus 6P.
The forthcoming Xiaomi 12 Series smartphones will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 platform, according to Xiaomi’s founder and CEO Lei Jun, who posted a video address on Twitter. The translated message indicates the 12 Series will be the first announced with the new chip, and rumors link the reveal to an event on December 12, but nothing has been made official yet.
.@Qualcomm has always been one of the most important partners of Xiaomi. Today I'm proud to announce that after months of joint effort between Xiaomi and Qualcomm, Xiaomi 12 Series will be the world's first smartphones powered by the new @Snapdragon 8 5G Gen 1 mobile platform. pic.twitter.com/U7l3BytRce
— leijun (@leijun) December 1, 2021
The 12 Series is the first flagship device from Xiaomi not to use the Mi branding, which has been present for 11 generations of high-end phones from the company.
Motorola will reveal at least one new smartphone featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor on December 9, according to a teaser image shared on the company’s official Weibo social media account in China. It’s not known whether the phone will also be released internationally yet. Named the Edge X30, it may be a collection of new devices, much like the current midrange Moto Edge 20 series.
Many others to come, but what about Samsung?
Qualcomm has listed Sony, Vivo, ZTE, Sharp, Redmi, Nubia, Honor, Black Shark, and IQOO in addition to the companies mentioned above as partners, and states that devices with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 will arrive from several of them by the end of 2021.
However, perhaps the biggest surprise is the absence of Samsung’s name, despite it being a longtime Qualcomm partner, and one of the first to launch smartphones with the Snapdragon 888 chip. The plan for the Galaxy S22’s processor remains unknown at this time.


Target: Harry Fletcher, criminal justice expert
Goal: Support a bill that proposes to include emotional abuse in the definition of domestic violence
For too long, emotional abuse has been unjustly minimized in our judicial system and society at large. But now, a bill in British Parliament seeks to change our definition of domestic violence to include “emotional blackmail”. Under this new wording, domestic violence that involves emotional abuse with no physical violence will still be illegal under the nation’s laws.
A draft bill proposes criminalizing “contact with a victim in an aggressive way” or to “intend to control or coerce” their partner. The bill defines emotional abuse as “controlling or coercive behaviour” which would “encompass but is not limited to physical, financial, sexual, psychological or emotional abuse”. Offenders could face up to fourteen years in prison, making the new provisions on par with the present response to physical abuse.
“It is extraordinary that domestic abuse is not a criminal offence in the UK,” said Harry Fletcher, who devised the bill. “…The measure would increase victim confidence to report the crime, lead to more thorough investigations and convictions, and help keep women safe.”
The draft text would operate on a kind of ‘three-strike’ principle, in which offenders who have committed at least two acts of violence, violent threats, or threatening action, would be subject to a “course of conduct” which would allow police to press criminal charges. Although more imprisonment for offenders is not exactly an ideal solution to criminal issues, this is at least a step in the right direction toward taking emotional and verbal abuse seriously for victims.
Please sign this petition to support the British Parliament obtaining a wider and more nuanced understanding of domestic abuse.
Dear Mr. Harry Fletcher,
I would like to thank you for your work on behalf of all survivors of domestic violence. You have brought an intricate understanding of the power dynamics at play in abusive situations in order to create more proactive legislation to aid survivors and their children.
I would like to show particular support for the drafted bill that would feature a more nuanced definition of domestic abuse and would include emotional and verbal abuse. Emotional and verbal abuse can be just as damaging if not more so than physical abuse, and it’s past time we have recognized it for the damage it causes survivors and families.
Please continue your efforts to aid victims of harassment and domestic abuse and draft intelligent legislation to foil and discourage perpetrators.
[Your Name Here]

You Can Be A Mosquito Hunter Too!
The need for funds is ever increasing to assist for the fight against mosquitoes and in particular the recent threat of the Zika virus. Efforts are being made to protect the public with the use of sprays, however, is there enough funding from the government to keep going? Here’s how Houston’s ‘mosquito hunters’ are putting up a fight against this debilitating virus.
Zika causes mild symptoms, if patients show any at all. The virus was largely ignored after its identification in 1947. It wasn’t until more than a million Brazilians were infected that the worst impacts of the disease showed themselves. Now, Zika is believed to cause microcephaly, a severe birth defect that leaves children with abnormally small heads. In some people, it appears to cause the neurological muscle paralysis syndrome Guillain-Barré.
Residents all over the United States are being urged to make sure that their mosquito control is up to date. Making individual contributions may not seem such a lot against what some of us fear, a losing battle, but believe us when we say that every preventative step taken helps us take a step forward. We can’t wait for Congress to come to a decision.
If a mosquito bites an infected person and then bites other people, that mosquito could spread the virus in a cycle called local transmission. If a mosquito in Austin bites an infected person and then bites other people, that mosquito could spread the virus in a cycle called local transmission, said Phil Huang, medical director and health authority for Austin/Travis, Texas County Health and Human Services.
It just takes one bite from an infected mosquito to cause a lifetime of misery, so please, please act now and make sure that you take all precautions necessary. You can be a mosquito hunter too!
