This miniature replica of a 1980s boombox plays music from your phone via Bluetooth. It has two full-range speakers and a 10-watt amplifier, so don’t expect it to sound massive. While it’s made mostly from plastic, it does have shiny zinc alloy accents and a working AM/FM radio. It’s even got a tiny telescoping antenna, just like the real deal.
Musicians – especially guitarists and bass players – will love these desk organizers that look like miniature guitar amps. Etsy seller Lions Print makes these 3D-printed pencil caddies and dresses them up with logos from popular amplifier makers. They’re available with silver or gold caps and can be personalized, too.
Toy companies have always liked making kids’ versions of adult products. After showing off the 2000s Hit Clips music player, Techmoan got his hands on the Mighty Tiny, a 1960s attempt to make a miniature record player. It required a bit of repair work, but he eventually got it to play some tiny vinyl discs. Ohio Art – of Etch-a-Sketch fame – created the gadget.
While a full-scale version of the Hyperloop is a long way off, engineering teams have created costly scaled-down prototypes of Elon Musk’s envisioned high-speed railway. James from ProjectAir did things on an smaller scale, using off-the-shelf and 3D-printed parts with a shop vac to pull a model train along the outside and inside of an acrylic tube.
When Serengy Technology came across a micromotor from a camera, he thought it would be perfect for driving a miniature power tool. He made his mini drill from a hunk of acrylic, which he painstakingly cut and shaped, then outfitted it with the motor, wiring, hearing aid batteries, and a tiny switch.
This palm-sized remote-controlled car is designed for competition-level racing. The tiny SUV has an independent suspension, proportional steering, working lights, and an optional roof-mounted camera for a first-person perspective. It runs for up to 60 minutes per charge without the camera, and 30 minutes with it running.
This miniature milk crate is inspired by the ones used to store and organize vinyl records. Fred designed this one for your desktop to hold pens, pencils, and note cards. The laser-cut wood crate comes flat-packed for assembly and includes 64 vinyl-inspired note cards. Measures 3.4″ x 3.6″ x 3″ – the perfect size for sticky notes.
Robotime’s wood kit gives you everything you need to build your own working mini-pinball machine. Its 482 pieces come together to form a circus-themed machine with a plunger, bumpers, and flippers. The playfield and backbox have built-in lighting, and it also plays sounds. Save $40 for a limited time with code PINBALL40.
From the “just because it can be done doesn’t mean it should be done” file comes this fully-functional washing machine that’s not even big enough to hold a single sock. But this is the internet, and Inventus thought he’d show off by building a tiny appliance using Coca-Cola cans, straws, popsicle sticks, and a USB-powered motor.
Looking for a great gift for a mechanic or a woodworker? The Busted Knuckle Garage makes this awesome desk organizer that looks like a miniature rolling toolbox. Each is made in the USA from heavy-duty steel with a hinged lid, tiny casters, and a bright red powder coat finish. Measures 9.25″ L x 4.25″ W x 5 H”.
Maker W&M Levsha already created the tiniest barbecue we’ve seen. Now, he’s taken his miniaturization skills to the next level by building a tiny chess set that fits within a watch face. He had a bit of help from a laser engraver, but there was still plenty of precision craftsmanship required to pull off the feat.
When it comes to 3D printers, bigger is usually better, so you can print large or multiple objects. But My N Mi went the opposite direction and engineered a 3D printer you might find in a dollhouse. Despite measuring just 18 x 31 x 41 mm, the palm-sized resin printer makes surprisingly good prints. Here’s another tiny print sample.
When it comes to barbecue, we like large meat. But maker W&M Levsha went and built a teensy oven that cooks the tiniest portions of food ever. They used a laser cutter to create the metal structure and skewers, then milled its handles out of a block of wood. We can’t help but think of playing foosball with the chicken, though.
We can’t think of a practical use for a vise you can fit between your fingertips, but that doesn’t make this tiny vise any less impressive. W&M Levsha created the micro tool by milling shapes from a small block of metal, drilling holes for its mechanism, then fitting it together with a teensy threaded rod and handle to make it work.
Maker Maciej Nowak is back with another awesome miniature weapon. This time, he shows how he created a tiny crossbow that’s powered by a spring and a length of skinny sailing rope. The crossbow has an aluminum body for strength and fires skinny projectiles made from wooden skewers and nails.
You can run to the Walmart or Costco and pick up an 85″ TV. But if you think that’s overkill, perhaps TinyCircuits’ miniature TV cabinets are more your thing. The TinyTV 2 has a 1″ screen with a 216×135 resolution, while the TinyTV Mini has an even smaller 0.6″ display with a 64×64 pixel grid. They play videos uploaded to an SD card.
Photographer Joerg Daiber takes us on a trip to Munich for an aerial, tilt-shifted view of the third-largest city in Germany. Along the way, you’ll see some of the city’s parks, beaches, waterways, cafés, and industry, along with a look at a miniaturized Oktoberfest celebration.
The Build-A-Cade is a 1:6-scale arcade cabinet that works with your own Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 board. It has a tiny metal joystick and three buttons, plus 5-button joystick, trackball, and spinner control options. Its rear has an SD card slot, USB ports, and an HDMI port, while its coin door has a hidden headphone jack.
We’ve seen some big remote-controlled airplanes, but this tiny flyer sits at the opposite end of the spectrum. Joe Malinchak built this minuscule R/C tri-plane with a 1.5″ wingspan. It weighs just one gram, and in addition to its tiny motor, it has a working rudder mechanism for steering. Watch it fly at the 3-minute mark.
Puffer coats are normally designed to keep you warm. But this one is designed to keep things chilled. The miniature jacket wraps around drink cans and bottles to keep them from warming up and freezing your hand. It’s even got a working zipper on front to snug it around your beverage. It just needs a tiny hat and scarf.
MR Custom Crafts created this miniature working crossbow with a design inspired by Batman. Powered by a rubber band, it can fire three tiny arrows at the same time, though we’re not sure of practical use for such a weapon unless you have three foes standing side-by-side, or you’re trying to hedge your bets on your aim.
Model maker Enos Camare created two incredibly teensy power tools that actually work. He made the 1/12-scale Makita circular saw and impact driver using 3D printed shapes he hand-finished and outfitted with tiny motors. They include cases, accessories, and manuals and need tweezers to power them on.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has made an assessment of the impact of late presentation and diagnosis of liver disease on the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma.
No specific assessment has been made. We would expect general practitioners to use professional judgement in diagnosing liver disease and refer patients as appropriate.
Between 2015 and 2020, hepatitis C-related mortality from end stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma has reduced by 20%. NHS England’s cancer programme is working with the hepatitis C elimination programme to deliver 11 community liver health check pilots. These pilots aim to support earlier detection and diagnosis of liver cancer by identifying and referring people with cirrhosis or advanced fibrosis into a liver surveillance pathway.

WHEN news broke early Sunday morning that a tentative agreement had been reached between the millionaire-club players' association and the billionaire-club National Hockey League owners, local fan reaction was curiously muted.
Of course there was not much to cheer about on the ice while the pros stayed off it for more than three months. The Vancouver Giants have been uncharacteristically bad this season and Team Canada was hugely disappointing at the World Juniors.
The shortened season will see the Canucks play only teams from their own conference. The decision makes business sense, but once again the fans are the losers - no Montreal, no Leafs and Brian Burke to jeer, no Sidney Crosby, not even a sighting of the one who got away: Cody Hodgson.
Against that backdrop, why would diehard Canucks fans again invest their emotions in a team that has yet to win it all?
It's difficult for non-sports lovers to comprehend how deflating the Canucks exit from the first round of the playoffs was to loyal fans last year. The team was supposedly deeper and tougher than the one that lost to Boston the previous year. In the end, it was neither.
That slough of despond might have been replaced with optimism last summer had a major trade taken place with the movement of Roberto Luongo. But we're still waiting on that.
Now, Canucks ownership need to do more than paint a "thank you," on the ice - especially while charging full price to watch what should be pre-season games. Free seats or winning the Stanley Cup are obvious remedies.

The present invention relates to a route guidance display device for road routes capable of displaying configurations and route guidance indications for special points along the road routes such as crossroads, overhead crossing, entries to or exits from freeways, overpasses such as bridges, and underpasses such as tunnels (all hereinafter collectively referred to as "route nodes").
In recent years, display devices have been developed capable of confirming the current position of a vehicle in motion for the convenience of the driver in areas with poor signposting, etc. A route guidance display device has been proposed which brings attention to the route nodes which exist on the route which the vehicle ought to be following and makes a display of the configurations of the various route nodes together with an indication of the route the vehicle should take immediately before coming to such nodes. Examples of a device of this kind using LCD displays are noted in such publications as the Technical Report of the Television Institute, ED-409, IPD 37-12 "Liquid Crystal Display Device for Automobiles" (Nov. 17, 1978) and The Fifth International Conference on Automotive Electronics, C-201/85 (Oct. 29, 1985), "A Self-Supporting Modular Navigational System for Automobiles". In both cases, a monochrome planar radial arrow pattern is used to indicate the configuration of flat plane intersections and the direction the driver should take.
In the existing devices mentioned above there is a problem in that using an arrow pattern makes it difficult to display route nodes other than flat plane intersections, for example, the configuration of an overhead crossing point, or the direction that should be taken at such a crossing.
A variety of route guidance display devices have been proposed which give the driver advance warning of the direction to be taken at intersections and the name of the intersection. In general these consist of directions displayed on top of map data which is displayed on a display device (hereafter "display"). Other types provide a separate route guidance display device in addition to such display, but in such case the name of the intersection is not displayed.
In, for example, the route guidance display device published in Japanese Laid-Open Patent No. 1986-66920, a map is shown on the display, and as the vehicle passes through an intersection on the map, the name of the intersection is displayed on the display.
FIG. 1 shows a route guidance display device or prior art published in the above-mentioned Technical Report of the Television Institute article. In the figure, 20 is a liquid crystal pattern showing the configuration of an intersection. A liquid crystal device having this kind of display pattern is fitted on the dashboard, and is able to display the configuration of intersections and route directions only.
With such route guidance display devices in the prior art, the name of an intersection on the route is shown on the display on top of the map, and only the configuration of the intersection and route guidance are shown separately. In the above case, the driver has to read information from the display a task which is more difficult the more detailed the map is, and it takes some time to obtain the information required. Moreover, the display usually uses a CRT (cathode-ray tube), which is placed under the dashboard owing to its shape, requiring the driver to shift his line of sight considerably in order to read it while driving. On the other hand the route guidance display device shown in FIG. 1 is installed above the dashboard requiring a minimal shift in the line of sight to be read. However, since this display does not give the name of an intersection, it is difficult for the driver passing through a town with many intersections to be sure which intersection the displayed pattern actually refers to. These problems interfere with the process of safe driving.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is intended to overcome the above problem, and its purpose is to provide a route guidance display device able not only to display the configuration of and direction to be taken at an overhead crossing, but also to make a much clearer display than in existing devices of the configuration of and direction to be taken at a flat planar traffic intersection, and which is capable of displaying both the normal route to be taken and indicating an overshoot error.
The traffic route guidance display device of the invention has a plurality of road patterns intersecting in a three-dimensional perspective and divided into a number of separate display segments capable of two or more displays.
In the route guidance display device according to this invention the display segments are combined as required, differing displays being made with this combination of display segments, the desired route node configuration and the route guidance indication being displayed three-dimensionally.
The route guidance display device in accordance with another aspect of the present invention integrates a display section showing the configuration of an intersection with a display section showing the name of the intersection, and is provided separately to the display showing map data and the like. That is, according to the invention information inputted from a data processor on the configuration of intersections route guidance and the names of intersections is displayed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referred embodiments of the invention will now be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a cross-section showing part of the route guidance display device according to a first preferred embodiment of the invention. In this figure, 1a and 1b are common terminals of an interdigital configuration arranged alternately, and 2 is a segment terminal. 3a and 3b are color filters of, for example, red and blue, provided respectively on top of common terminals 1a and 1b, and arranged to match with the interdigital configuration of the common terminals 1a and 1b. 4 is a liquid crystal layer, and 5 is an insulating film interposed between the color filters 3 and the liquid crystal layer 4. 6a and 6b are opposing transparent bases Lead-out terminals for the segment terminal 2 and the common terminals 1 (not shown in the figure) are arranged on a transparent base 6a, and common terminals 1a and 1b are arranged on a transparent base 6b.
When a liquid crystal panel 100, which is the liquid crystal part of the route guidance display device, is being used in the display, for example, when using a twisted nematic liquid crystal layer having true dielectrical anisotropism as the liquid crystal layer 4, two polarized panels (not shown) are arranged on either side of the liquid crystal panel and at right angles to one another to cut out light from behind, for example, light from a fluorescent lamp. The route guidance display is then constituted by applying the required voltage to the liquid crystal layer 4 between the segment terminal 2 and the common terminals 1 through lead-out terminals (not shown). When the required voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer 4, the configuration of the segment terminal 2 (hereafter called the "segment pattern") lights by allowing light to pass therethrough. Thus, if the interdigital pitch of the common terminals 1 is sufficiently small in comparison to the segment pattern, the liquid crystal panel 4 will show, if viewed from the side opposite the fluorescent lamp, a red segment pattern if the common terminals 1a are selected and a blue segment pattern if the common terminals 1b are selected, or a color that is a combination of red and blue if both 1a and 1b are selected
FIG. 3 shows a simplified schematic-diagram of the terminal patterns in the route guidance display device according to this embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 3, COM1 corresponds to the common terminals 1a shown in FIG. 2, and COM2 to the common terminals 1b in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 shows the segment display in the route guidance display device according to this embodiment of the present invention. In this figure N1-N24 are the various display segments. By combining any of these segments N1-N24 appropriately, it is possible to obtain a color display of the configuration of route nodes and the vehicle's route guidance indication. 7 is the straight-ahead route pattern. To create a depth effect, two layers, display segment N23 and depth enhancer display segment N24, are provided at the end surface of the vehicle approach side. 8 is an intersecting route pattern crossing the straight-ahead route pattern 7 at right angles, 9 is a primary diagonal route pattern veering to the right and away from the intersecting route pattern 8 at approximately 45° and 10 is a secondary diagonal route pattern running at 45° in the reverse direction. Diamond or rectangularly shaped display segments N1-N9 provided on both surfaces of each route pattern 7-10 indicate the route the vehicle should take. The rectangularly shaped display segment N5 is used to indicate that the vehicle is still some distance from the intersection. The display segments N10-N16 provided on each side of the route patterns 7-10 display those parts of the route patterns 7-10 which do not intersect. Display segments N17 and N18 are parts where the straight-ahead route pattern 7 intersects respectively with the secondary diagonal route pattern 10 and the primary diagonal route pattern 9, a display segment N19 being the part where the three route patterns 7, 9 and 10 intersect. Display segments N20 and N22 are parts where the intersecting route pattern 8 intersects respectively with the primary diagonal route pattern 9 and the secondary diagonal rout pattern 10, display segment N21 being the point where all the route patterns 7-10 intersect that is, a multi-crossing. Each display segment N1-N24, constituted as shown in FIG. 4, is capable of a three-color display, and each is operated by a separate control circuit (not shown in the figure). As noted above, in accordance with the present invention a plurality of route patterns in a three-dimensional perspective are made to intersect in accord with a plurality of three dimensional roads, with both intersecting and nonintersecting parts being display segments and furthermore being provided with route guidance display segments.
FIGS. 5A-9 show examples of various operational displays for the route guidance display device of the above construction. FIG. 5A shows the case where the road passes over another road, and FIG. 5B shows the case where it passes under another road. The road ahead is shown, in, for example, blue (represented by broken diagonal shading in subsequent figures), and the intersecting overpass or underpass is in, for example, the combination color (represented by dots in subsequent figures). Route guidance may be indicated by having the diamond-shaped display segment N1 in the route pattern segment showing the route flash on and off. When the road ahead passes over another road, the display segment N24 lights up together with display segment N23 to enhance the display of depth. In order to form the display shown in FIG. 5A, the 10 separate display segments N1, N5, N9, N13, N17, N18, N19, N21, N23, and N24 are blue, and the six separate display segments N3, N7, N11, N15, N20 and N22 are of the combination color. To form the display shown in FIG. 5B, the eight separate display segments N1, N5, N9, N13, N17, N18, N19, and N23 are blue, the seven separate display segments N3, N7, N11, N15, N20, N21 and N22 are of the combination color.
FIG. 6A shows a road intersection, and FIG. 6B a fork, both displays being in, for instance, blue. In the case of the fork display, the 11 separate display segments N2, N5, N8, N10, N13, N16, N17, N18, N19, N32 and N23 may be shown in blue.
FIG. 7A shows an example of the display when the vehicle is still some distance from an upcoming intersection, and the rectangular display segment N5 alone is displayed in, for example, blue. FIG. 7B shows the configurational display for the intersection when the vehicle is approaching the intersection, together with an example of the route guidance indication showing that the vehicle should turn right. Here, the eight separate display segments N1, N7, N9, N15, N17, N18, N19, and N20 are displayed in, for example, red (represented by diagonal shading in subsequent figures), and the seven separate display segments N3, N5, N11, N13, N21, N22 and N23 showing the route to be taken are displayed in, for example, blue. A flashing display for the diamond-shaped display segment N3 to further emphasize the route will make the display even clearer.
FIG. 8 shows the road straight ahead, and the nine separate display segments N1, N5, N9, N13, N17, N18, N19, N21 and N23 are displayed in, for example, blue. A flashing display for the diamond-shaped display segment N1 to further emphasize the route will make the display even clearer.
FIG. 9 shows an example of a display to warn the driver that he has left his road when the vehicle has failed to follow the route indicated by the route guidance display device, all segments N1-N24 being displayed in, for example, red.
As explained above, the present invention is constituted so that a plurality of road patterns are made to intersect in a three-dimensional perspective, being divided into many parts and arranged as display segments able to make differing displays. The invention has the effect of making possible not only a display of route node configurations and route guidance indications that are much clearer than in the prior art, but also, through the provision of a depth enhancer segment to enhance the sense of depth, enables a display to be made of the configuration of an overhead crossing and its respective route guidance indication, which has been impossible in prior art.
Another embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing the layout of a system using the route guidance display device according to the invention. In this figure, 11 is an external memory programmed with map data, 12 is a display which displays maps and the like, 13 is an input device which inputs the starting point and destination onto the maps displayed on the display 12, 14 are sensors such as direction sensors and distance sensors, 15 is a data processor which processes map data from the external memory 11, data from the input device 13 and data from the various sensors 14 in order to calculate the current position of the vehicle, directions, etc. 16 is a route guidance display device which is connected to the data processor 15.
The operation of this embodiment will now be explained with reference to FIG. 10. When the system is activated the data processor 15 reads the map data corresponding to a map of appropriate area from the external memory 11 and outputs it onto the display after performing the requisite processing. After enlarging, condensing or otherwise freely selecting the desired area from this map, the driver inputs the starting point and destination using an input device 13 such as a trackball. He then further inputs, in the same manner as above, the route to be taken from the starting point to the destination, using an input device such as a trackball. Alternatively, the route from the starting point to the destination may be determined by the data processor.
In this way, when the journey begins, the data from the sensors 14 is processed and the current position of the vehicle detected so that when the current position comes to within a predetermined distance, for example, 100 m, of an intersection on the route preset above, the configuration of the intersection and the set route guidance data are output to the route guidance display device 16.
The data output to the route guidance display device according to the invention will now be described.
FIG. 11A shows an example of an intersection. Assuming that the vehicle approaches from road L1 and wishes to pass through the intersection N onto the road L4, when the vehicle approaches to within a predetermined distance, for example 50 m, of the intersection N, the data relevant to intersection N is read out from the external memory 11 in FIG. 10, and from this is selected directional data for the roads meeting at the intersection N. This direction data shows the direction in which roads lead out from the intersection N, and is expressed using eight directions numbered clockwise with 1 as due north. In the example shown in FIG. 11A, road L1 is direction 3, road L2 is direction 5, road L3 is direction 7, and road L4 is direction 8. The configuration of the intersection N can also be obtained by reading out the directional numbers in the reverse order.
The configuration of the intersection so obtained is not the view of the configuration of the intersection as seen from the vehicle on the road it is travelling. The configuration is rotated about its center, which is taken to be the intersection (N), so that the road the vehicle is on comes to the bottom. In FIG. 11A, this means that road L1 will be rotated about the center of the intersection N to come to the bottom, as shown in FIG. 11B. The route guidance is taken from the data relating to the selected route, and is output to the route guidance display device. The name of the intersection is also extracted from the data relating to intersection N and output to the route guidance display device.
FIG. 12 shows the display pattern 20 of the route guidance display device according to the invention. In the figure, elements 20 are the segment patterns, which are able to display the configuration of the intersection and route guidance, and 21 is a dot matrix pattern composed of, for example, 100×36 dots, which can display the name of the intersection.
The segment pattern areas of the liquid crystal panel used as the display panel in this embodiment of the invention can use, for example, two-color fine stripe color filters to which is fitted a pair of comb-shaped common segment terminals which determine the display pattern and a twisted nematic type liquid crystal layer. This enables a display of three colors to be made, one color created by applying a certain voltage between one set of common terminals and segment terminals, another color by applying a set voltage between the other set of common terminals and segment terminals, and a combination color created by applying a set voltage across both sets of common terminals and the segment terminals.
The dot matrix areas are composed of the two-color stripe filters to which are matched a pair of scanning terminals (36×2 in the case of FIG. 12), signal terminals arranged perpendicular to these (100 in the case of FIG. 12) and a twisted nematic liquid crystal layer as mentioned above. The scanning terminals, which correspond to all three colors, can display each color independently or a combination color by activating both colors at once.
As explained above, the liquid crystal display panel used in the invention combines in one panel the segment pattern area, which displays the configuration of an intersection and route guidance, and the dot matrix area, which displays the name of the intersection. It is possible to have each area display a different color.
FIG. 13 shows an example of an actual display for the intersection shown in FIG. 11B. In this figure, the configuration of the intersection is shown by the white segment pattern, and the route to be taken by the hatched segment pattern. This is intended to represent the intersection configuration segments and the route guidance segments display in different colors. The dot matrix section shows, for example, as shown in the figure, a display of the name of the intersection "Red Wing Bridge". Furthermore, in the case where this intersection is very congested, the color of the display of the name of the intersection can be changed to warn the driver in advance to make a detour by means of information outputted from the sensors 14 to the data processing means 15. Likewise, information from the sensors may be used to provide the driver with information regarding the best route to a destination.
As explained above, the invention has the effect of limiting the displayed information to the configuration of an intersection and its name, together with route guidance, and is provided separately to the display of map data. Hence, not only can the configuration of the next intersection and route guidance be read at a glance, but also the intersection on the route to which the displayed pattern refers can be easily identified due to the fact that the name of the intersection is displayed at the same time as its configuration. Furthermore, if the device is installed on the dashboard, the driver will not have to shift his line of sight so far to see it, leading to increased safety on the road.

Iowa to review feed mill at center of egg recall
DES MOINES, Iowa—State regulators said Friday they were reviewing whether the Iowa feed mill where investigators found salmonella linked to the nationwide egg recall should have been licensed and inspected.
The mill at Wright County Egg hasn't been regulated by the state Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship despite being one of the largest in the state. Its owners say the mill qualifies for an exemption allowing farmers to make feed for their own livestock.
But the FDA reported Thursday that investigators found salmonella in feed mixed at the mill that was fed to chickens at Wright County Egg, located near Galt in northern Iowa, and at Hillandale Farms in New Hampton, about 95 miles away. The two farms have recalled more than 550 million eggs that have been linked to salmonella illnesses across the country.
If the mill provided feed to other farms, it wouldn't qualify for the exemption, which is meant to allow farmers to feed their own animals, said Dustin Vande Hoef, an Agriculture Department spokesman. He said an inspector will visit next week to comb through its business records.
He said the state would investigate whether Wright County Egg has an ownership stake in Hillandale Farms, if not, it would be ordered to either stop supplying feed to the farm or get licensed with the state, he said.
Wright County Egg spokeswoman Hinda Mitchell said Friday the company provides feed for one of Hillandale's sites and young hens to the other. The two farms say they have separate ownership but share some suppliers.
The department does not have the authority to level any penalties if the mill was improperly unlicensed, but the state attorney general could potentially pursue the matter if other violations are found, Vande Hoef said.
Wright County Egg said in a statement Thursday that salmonella was found in meat and bone meal provided by Central Bi-Products of Minnesota that is used as an ingredient for the feed it produces. The FDA said it was too early to confirm the source of salmonella, which was also found at other locations at Wright County Egg. Officials at Central Bi-Products have not returned phone messages.
Iowa regulates about 700 commercial feed dealers, periodically inspecting mills to ensure they do not have problems with rodents and have other measures to prevent contamination.
The Wright County Egg mill produces about 300,000 tons of feed per year -- enough to fill roughly 12,500 semi trucks, said Kevin Klommhaus, who heads the department's Commercial Feed and Fertilizer Bureau.
He said its inspectors have been at the mill in the past only to make sure they were not making cattle feed with meat and bone meal that is prohibited to prevent mad cow disease. They were assured those materials were only being used to feed chickens on their farm and not cattle, he said.
State Sen. Gene Fraise, who heads the agricultural committee, said he would consider legislation to ensure that large feed mills have more state oversight.
"These big corporations, they are sliding under the radar screen because they say they are quote 'private farms,' " he said. "We ought to take a good hard look at that. If you get to a certain size, you are not a private farmer anymore. You are a corporation."

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (CW44 News At 10) – A popular radio personality in Tampa Bay opens up about mental health in hopes of helping others break the stigma.
As pandemic stress continues to impact our daily lives, Dr. Jamie Fernandez, Medical Director of Psychiatry at the Memorial Hospital in Tampa says we need to have more conversations about mental health in order to break the stigma.READ MORE: Detectives Are Investigating A Homicide
“I think with things like stigma, what perpetuates that is when people aren’t willing to freely talk about it. Of course, you could understand with mental illness why people could be reluctant to come forward and share their emotions and talk about what they’ve struggled with,” said Dr. Fernandez.
While understandably difficult to speak about, it shouldn’t be enough reason to avoid the topic. After losing a family member to a mental health illness, 97X radio personality and mental health advocate, Samantha Blowers agrees that “talking about it actually makes it easier.”
“You don’t realize that if you just kind of open up, you can gain a lot of friends, you can gain a lot of support. Then, in ways, support yourself. I didn’t realize how much weight I was struggling with mentally, kind of carrying that weight around,” said Blowers.READ MORE: HCSO Are Searching For Two Missing Adults
A weight that Dr. Fernandez says is common in humans, but clarifies that having support is crucial. “We know from the research that societal interconnectedness — having friends, having family, having a good social circle with support, is what protects us when times get stressful. It’s what helps us be resilient.”
“Sometimes it can feel embarrassing, shameful to just say ‘I can’t cope with this stress of my daily life’ — or ‘I’m feeling anxious’ or ‘I’m feeling down’ or ‘I’m feeling overwhelmed’. But really what we know is that the way to help others through these things and the way to decrease stigma is to talk about it. It’s to communicate and is to show compassion for one another.”
The more frequent conversations around mental health occur, the more the future of treatments can change. Dr. Fernandez says, “This isn’t something that we need to hide in the shadows about. It’s okay to talk about it and by doing so, that’s the best way to start really reducing what has been historical negative perceptions about mental health.”
Dr. Fernandez was sure to emphasize, “If you are in need of help, don’t be afraid to ask for it because not only are these real diseases but they are treatable diseases. So, the real tragedy is in not getting the help that you need.”MORE NEWS: Sarasota Police Are Investigating A Fatal Crash
To that point, Blowers reflected, “It could have helped my dad. It definitely helped me and I think it could help other people.”

BURY'S players are being challenged to make amends for putting their fans through the mill this season by giving them a dream day out at Stockport on Saturday, April 28, kick-off 3pm.
Victory at their near neighbours and bitter rivals would guarantee Bury's League Two status for next season.
Manager Chris Casper said: "You couldn't ask for a better place for us to secure our safety. It would be great if we could give our fans that as they have been behind us all season. Then we could relax and enjoy our final game against Mansfield.
"But we will be in for a tough game on Saturday. Stockport still have a lot to play for as they are trying to stay in the play-offs. They have some talented young players and by winning nine games on the run without conceding a goal earlier in the season they have proven themselves to be a good side.
"But we beat them 2-0 at home earlier in the season and we can take a lot of confidence from the fact we have the third best away record in the league."
Tom Youngs is likely to retain his place in the side having capped off an impressive performance with the winning goal at Walsall last weekend. Brian Barry-Murphy and Chris Brass are set to miss the rest of the season through injury.


Devices handle quality control for extruded products
The technologies to spot defects in film, sheet, pipe and tubing are as varied as the problems they identify. With new offerings from companies such as BTG Labs, MoistTech, OneBoxVision and Wintriss Engineering, extrusion professionals have plenty of options when it comes to quality control. Whether it’s poor wettability, unwanted specks or unacceptable moisture levels, the problems that extrusion operations face have met their match.
BTG has begun touting the down-to-earth applications of a technology it originally devised for use by manufacturers of the F-35 stealth fighter plane. At NPE2018, it showed off its Surface Analyst in the booths of two partner companies, Plasmatreat USA Inc., Elgin, Ill., and Enercon GmbH, Bremen, Germany.
Designed to determine bonding potential, the Surface Analyst is a hand-held device that works by calculating the contact angle of water upon any 2-D part. With the device, which has an ink-jet valve, a user deposits a drop of water upon the surface, then an integrated camera snaps an image of the drop, and taking account of its volume and diameter, the device calculates contact angle — providing a direct measurement of surface energy.
It’s useful for testing any flat surface that will be painted, printed, coated or sealed, said Emily Leporati, BTG marketing manager. The device can verify whether surfaces treated with flames, plasma or some other method have suitable wettability. “The Surface Analyst is used to determine how much treatment is necessary to avoid overtreatment, which leads to material surface damage … and undertreating, which leads to a poor bond because the surface wasn’t activated enough to receive the bond, whether that’s laminating two pieces of film together or printing ink onto a film surface,” she said.
According to Leporati, the Surface Analyst originally was used to test composite materials before they were laminated to build airplane wings and to inspect the surfaces of metals before they were painted. Over the past year or so, however, BTG has expanded its reach, and in late 2017, the company discovered the technology could be used with plastic films, as well. It works with any flat surface — including sheet.
In addition to aerospace manufacturers, operators of plants that make film and flexible packaging, medical devices, and parts for the automotive, electronics and green-energy industries have adopted the technology. “It has even been used by a manufacturer of vinyl doors and windows to inspect surfaces it was bonding,” Leporati said.
Compared to traditional methods, such as dyne-ink tests or goniometer inspection, the Surface Analyst provides faster, more accurate and more reliable results. According to the company, the test takes just 2 seconds. Unlike more common dyne tests, which use a special ink that reacts in various ways depending on surface energy, it uses no dangerous chemicals and requires far less training. It also causes no damage to the product being tested.
In addition to determining whether a surface can be effectively decorated or sealed, the Surface Analyst helps users define optimal surface-treatment levels and monitor production. It can determine how surfaces deteriorate over time, and how long parts can be stored before they become unsuitable for adhesion.
MoistTech, which makes moisture-measurement systems for the extrusion, converting and coatings industries, rolled out its latest non-contact moisture meter, the IR-3000C, at NPE2018.
Designed for both film and sheet, the plug-and-play near-infrared system continuously analyzes multiple wavelengths of light to measure moisture content, thickness and temperature. Compared to its predecessor, the IR-3000, the IR-3000C can be more finely tuned.
IR-3000C sensors typically are installed between 4 inches and 16 inches from the extrusion head, and even at high speeds, they can provide real-time feedback that is not hindered by material variations, such as differences in particle size, height or color. Equipped with a suite of high-tech Windows-based programs, the system is compatible with any PC platform and provides user-friendly interfaces for configuration, data logging and diagnostics monitoring. The sensors are calibrated at the factory according to customer specifications and require no maintenance or recalibration once in operation.
The system works with many kinds of materials, including PVC, PP, PE and polyvinyl butyral.
Ireland-based OneBoxVision has refined its ImageFlow software. Designed for scanning very large areas, it can be used for all kinds of parts, including molded parts and pipe, but CEO Conor O’Neill said it’s predominately for film and sheet.
The software compares images of actual parts against design drawings to keep production within parameters. It can identify many types of defects, including gels, specks, fish eyes, holes, oil stains, insects, scratches, coating voids and air bubbles. The latest update, Version 6.7, features a new adaptive algorithm for inspecting the opacity and color of film.
According to the company, real-time feedback on errors can help operators and plant managers minimize downtime, optimize die cleaning processes and identify the best raw materials for their extrusion and converting applications.
“We basically learn what the actual plastic should look like, and we look at variances in the actual plastic,” O’Neill said.
OneBoxVision pairs its software with vision-inspection hardware from Acquire Automation, Fishers, Ind. “We scope the hardware based on the operation,” O’Neill said. “There are no limitations on how many cameras the software can handle.”
Wintriss Engineering announced updates to its Web Ranger vision system, which can identify spots, specks, scratches and other surface flaws in film and sheet. Armed with smart cameras, high-intensity lighting and newly upgraded software, the system can even let you know when it’s time to call an exterminator.
CTO Ravi Malkani demonstrated the system at the company’s NPE2018 booth, using a tiny, simulated roll of film marked with a number of flaws, including pictures of bugs and six-legged squiggles. Not only can the system be programmed to flag the flaws as film is wound across a roller, it also categorizes them. It can provide reports with filters that give operators and plant managers more information about the types of flaws plaguing their product. For example, Malkani showed, his simulation could track insects, misplaced logos and specific flaw shapes, such as squares; the software also can filter based on factors such as flaw size and condition.
According to Malkani, the system can spot defects as small as 10 microns in diameter, though he said typically, customers specify inspections for defects of 0.1mm in diameter or bigger.
He said the software has been upgraded so that operators can simply scan a bar code to indicate the recipe and specifications of the product they’re running; that saves time and cuts down on the possibility for human error.
Based on film width and the details and tolerances specified in the reporting functions, Malkani said the system can be tailored to individual users’ needs. “Every system is slightly customized. The cameras are the same, the software is the same.”

On 26 November 1703, during the worst storm that Britain had ever seen, Henry Winstanley died in his pioneering lighthouse as it was blown apart. He had defied incredible odds to build the first Eddystone Lighthouse in 1698, saving the lives of many sailors from the fate of the thousands who previously died upon the rocks. The Great Gale not only destroyed the man and his lighthouse, but also saw complete devastation throughout the land. And at sea, some 8000 sailors were drowned that night, within yards of the land. Winstanley was an ingenious man. He owned a house of gadgets which was one of London's foremost attractions for decades. In 1695, two of his five ships were lost on Eddystone. He was determined that no more ships should founder and, though thwarted by weather and politics, he built a lighthouse, the first of its kind. It survived terrible winters and withstood devastating storms, guiding ships away from the treacherous rocks that lay ahead with its dim candlelight. After the great storm it was as if the lighthouse had never been. Ultimately, Winstanley's lighthouse led to the building of others on the Eddystone rocks and beyond, thus transforming the safety of shipping. This illustrated work vividly recreates the story of the Eddystone Lighthouse, the character of the man who built it with grim determination fighting against all odds, and the power of the elements that finally destroyed them both.

Coalition calls for a public inquiry into Montreal area LRT plans
September 27, 2016
A coalition of public transit experts, environmental groups and trade unions have called for a public inquiry into plans for a huge light rail network in the Montreal area. In April the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec infrastructure investment arm, CDPQ Infra, announced plans to construct the largest public infrastructure project since the city’s metro was opened 50 years ago.
The “Reseau électrique métropolitain (REM) would be automated and would cover 67 kilometres, linking downtown Montreal with the South Shore, the West Island, North Shore and the airport.
Saying the REM is “On the Wrong Track,” the coalition opposed say they are “sounding an alarm bell,” pointing to “countless problems and anomalies with respect to the light-rail project.”
The “Trainsparence” coalition has called for a parliamentary committee to evaluate the project and has tabled a petition with the Quebec National Assembly.
In a statement, the group said: “This project was conceived by the private sector for the private sector, and is not in the public interest. It does nothing to decrease greenhouse gases; it infringes on protected green spaces; and offers no protection or guarantees to users with respect to fares.”
The group includes the Canadian Union of Public Employees, Sierra Club Québec, Sauvons la falaise, Les Amis du Parc Meadowbrook, Sauvons L’Anse-à-l’Orme, Sauvons le parc!, Green Coalition, Citizens Climate Lobby, Regroupement citoyen, Option Transport Durable, Montreal Climate Coalition, and Transport Électrique Montréal.
Denis Bolduc, spokesperson for Trainsparence and president of SCFP-CUPE Quebec, also suggested there was a lack of necessary information and that in the light of the Charbonneau Commission and the massive amounts of public money at stake, “we must remain vigilant.”

WASHINGTON — Â The newly muscular House Republicans voted Wednesday to overturn President Obama’s health care overhaul — a move that is largely symbolic because the Democratic-controlled Senate is poised to ignore it while Obama is certain to veto it should it somehow pass through Congress.
The House passed the bill 245-189 with three Democrats — Reps. Mike Ross, Dan Boren and Mike McIntyre –joining the Republican effort.
Even though Democrats are certain to block the bill in the Senate, Republicans are determined to chisel away at the law through attempts to deny funding for parts of the legislation as they go into effect in the coming years.
“The Congress can do better in terms of replacing Obamacare with common-sense reforms that will bring down the cost of health insurance and expand access for more Americans,” House Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor took aim at Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who has said he won’t even take up the repeal measure in his chamber.
“I’ve got a problem with the assumption here that somehow the Senate can be a place for a legislation to go into a cul-de-sac or a dead end,” he said. “The American people deserve a full hearing. They deserve to see this legislation go to the Senate for a full vote.”
Republicans and Democrats adopted a more civil tone without angry shouts in the first debate after the shooting rampage in Arizona that left a Democratic congresswoman wounded and lawmakers of both parties stunned.
The House vote had been slated for last week as the Republicans’ first order of business — a campaign promise that helped them regain the majority in the lower chamber. But action was put off after the attack on Arizona Rep.Â Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot through the head. She is hospitalized in serious condition, but six others who attended her meeting with constituents in Tucson, Arizona, were killed. They include a federal judge and a 9-year-old girl.
While most politicians agree that the heated rhetoric had gotten out of hand, little has changed in narrowing the deep partisan divide on such key issues as the health care reform legislation.

Former Economic Minister and L.Maavashu Constituency Member and PNC Vice President Mohamed Saeed criticized when reporters were halted from taking pictures of the Indian High Commission.
Tweeting an article written by “Diyares” Saeed said that seeing those foreign countries influencing the country's civil affairs show that the government is not representing the citizens of the country. Saeed also said that the National Defence Force should be investigating the dangers that pose for the President without delay.
On Wednesday “Dhivehi Channel” attempted to secure a video of those who stand in a queue in front of the Indian High Commission to apply for a Visa. However, two members from the High Commission spoke with the two guards who guard the Embassy leading them to stop the Videoing and the news channel was further told that they are not allowed to make any videos of the India High Commission.
It is known that previously the Indian High Commission had requested the government to take action against the Maldivian reporters

Twelve years ago, Kentucky hiker Shad Baker had a dream: to create a long-distance hiking trail in eastern Kentucky that rivaled the classic footpaths of the Smokies. He hoped that such a trail would enable hikers to walk in the footsteps of the legendary Kentucky pioneer Daniel Boone through a wild, primitive landscape.
So Baker began talking to friends, organizing volunteers, and floating the idea to various state and federal land agencies. After years of meetings and negotiations—and then years of land acquisitions and fundraising—and then several more years of building and blazing the footpath—Baker has turned his dream into a 44-mile reality.
The Pine Mountain Trail is the longest in Kentucky, and it crosses the state’s second highest mountain. Yet few people have ever stepped foot on it. Last Friday, I decided to trek from its eastern terminus near Elkhorn City, Ky., to its western trailhead near Whitesburg.
From Elkhorn City, the footpath climbs steeply up to the Pine Mountain ridgeline, where it undulates between 2500 feet and 3500 feet for most of the journey. ATV trails criss-cross the footpath for the first few miles, and graffiti mars ancient caves and rock formations.
But at Skeet Rock Knob, the first major summit, I was rewarded with a jaw-dropping view of the eastern Kentucky mountains.
Water is scarce along the trail, so I made sure to stop at Jenny Falls, a cascade just before the Birch Knob Tower. A mile later, at Birch Knob Observation Tower, I soaked in another eastern Kentucky panorama. I thought to myself, This is what Daniel Boone must have seen…except for the beheaded mountains. Mountaintop removal sites encroach upon the Pine Mountain Trail from all sides.
From Birch Knob, the trail follows a gravel road for about a mile before it re-enters the forest near Mullins Pond and continues to roll along the ridgeline.
Only one other road crosses the entire stretch of the Pine Mountain Trail: four-lane U.S. 23 at Pound Gap. A gas station there provides a convenient place to restock before embarking upon the 15-mile Highland section. The first six miles of this section are pristine, well-manicured singletrack that rolls through deep, lush forests. However, after Rose Gap, the trail bed disappears, and hikers are left to bushwhack for a few miles. I followed yellow blazes from tree to tree, slashing through overgrown thickets. Baker and the Pine Mountain Trail Conference plan on re-building this section of trail with the help of a Sierra Club volunteer trail crew in October. In the meantime, the bushwhack will challenge even the most experienced hiker’s navigational skills.
Finally, the trail emerges onto a razor-thin section of exposed sandstone. The stunning vistas from the narrow ridgeline trail make the bloody-shinned bushwhack worth the effort. For the final five miles, the trail crosses several sections of exposed rock, offering views that can only be described as stunning. Amid the rolling green waves of mountains were the brown deserts of mountaintop removal sites. Not until I stood atop High Rock and looked out across the mountains—many still intact, many decapitated by mountaintop removal—did I realize eastern Kentucky was so beautiful…and so vulnerable.
Fortunately, Pine Mountain’s unqiue geology has spared it from mountaintop removal mining. Pine Mountain is an overthrust fault, which means that layers of rock from deep below the Earth were in such strong compression that one side of the layers broke and slid up and over the other, according to Roy Crawford, president of the Pine Mountain Trail Conference and one of the founders of the trail.
“If you hold your hands flat and vertical in front of you with your fingertips touching, then slide one hand up over the other, you’ll have a side view of the geology of Pine Mountain, with different fingers being shale, sandstone, and limestone,” explains Crawford.
The rocks of Pine Mountain were formed millions of years before coal was, meaning they were much lower in elevation, continues Crawford. Whatever coal may have been on top of Pine Mountain has eroded off.
Thanks to geology, time, and the sweat labor of volunteers like Crwaford and Baker, the 44-mile footpath across Pine Mountain is one of the most spectacular hiking experiences in Appalachia.

Former Moorhead Man Accused of Torturing, Killing Cats Makes Plea
Greer entered the plea to a charge of mistreatment and torture of animals
MOORHEAD, Minn. — A former Moorhead man accused of torturing and killing three cats at an apartment in January has entered an Alford plea.
That means Jalen Greer isn’t admitting guilt, but says if he went to trial, he would lose.
Greer entered the plea to a charge of mistreatment and torture of animals.
Two other charges against him were dropped.
Greer, who now lives in Rapid City, will be sentenced in November.
Prosecutors say the plea agreement does not include a deal on a reduced sentence.

Honda today confirmed that the forthcoming Acura NSX hybrid supercar will be built at a brand-new facility in Ohio. This will be the company's third plant in Ohio, and will come as the result of a $70 million investment. Honda first hinted that NSX production would be coming to Ohio when the original concept car was revealed at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.
Thu, 03 Jul 2014 18:44:00 EST
Honda's new facility, called the Performance Manufacturing Center, will encompass a 184,000-square foot space inside of the automaker's former North American Logistics building and will employ 100 associates. As you might expect, the Performance Manufacturing Center is located just a few miles from Honda's American-based R&D facility, as well as the Marysville auto plant, where production of the 2014 Accord Hybrid will kick off this fall.
"The location of this facility is in the midst of one of the greatest collections of engineering and production talent in the world. So it makes sense that we will renew the dream and build this high-tech, supercar in Marysville, Ohio," said Hidenobu Iwata, president and CEO of Honda of America, in a press release.
Following a delay this spring, Acura is now ready to launch the 2015 TLX sedan this August, with pricing now confirmed to start at $30,995, *not including $895 for destination. This base MSRP is just $360 more than that of the outgoing TSX sedan; the TLX replaces both the TSX and TL in Acura's 2015 model year lineup.
Tue, 05 Aug 2014 15:41:00 EST
That's a pretty fair deal considering that introductory price gets buyers a front-wheel drive TLX with a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine with 206 horsepower,mated to a new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, and featuring the automaker's Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS) system. Adding a Technology Package ups the MSRP to $35,025.
Of course, the TLX is also available with a 290-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 mated to Acura's new nine-speed automatic transmission. The TLX V6 P-AWS starts at $25,220 and climbs to $39,250 with the Technology Package. The bottom line on the range-topping Advance model is $42,500. Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive is available with the 3.5-liter engine, too - the SH-AWD Technology model starts at $41,450, while the SH-AWD Advance commands $44,700.
Automakers make halo cars to drum up excitement and show off what they can do, but there's more to it than that. Advanced platforms allow a company's engineers to experiment with all sorts of technologies. And in the case of the upcoming new Acura NSX, that includes new paint processes.
Speaking with Autoline in this video interview, Honda's North American Senior VP Jon Minto talked about an innovative zirconium e-coat which it's applying to the new NSX. Unlike some experimental paints developed for Formula One, however, this coating is not designed to minimize drag or enhance cooling: it's designed to be more environmentally friendly.
It's one of a few measures which Honda is implementing on the NSX before expanding it to more accessible models, along with another process that uses fewer coats to reduce energy consumption by 40 percent. Watch the interview with Autoline host John McElroy right here.
