This post is courtesy of the Time Global Health Blog where they point out that it is about time we have some focus on solutions. Of course we whole heartedly agree that we need to start documenting these projects and sharing ideas:
From VOA: “A new report finds the health of people in Africa is worse than in any other part of the world. But, the report by the World Health Organization also presents a number of success stories that show Africa can tackle its own health problems. This report, for the first time, focuses on the health of the 738 million people living in 46 countries in the African region.” Read the rest of the story at VOA and you can view the full WHO report on their website.
Today Business Week profiled the Acumen Fund and their focus on developing country solutions. The Acumen Fund (based in New York City) is an interesting organization, they are “a non-profit global venture fund that uses entrepreneurial approaches to solve the problems of global poverty”.
Below an advisor to the Acumen Fund says that the charitable money is there, but the solutions are not. I would have to disagree with such a stark statement. The money making solutions may not be there, but the solutions to some major global health problems are certainly there. Not every solution will be sustainable on its own, there are some problems that will need to be funded outright until a particular problem is eradicated or alleviated. I definitely applaud Acumen’s overall approach and their ability to raise capital make a robust attempt to find innovative projects, but let’s be clear about what type of solutions they are pursing – those with a financial return on investment. This is a great thing, but it is a mistake to send the message that solutions are not there. I highly recommend you read this article.
From Business Week, November 10, 2006:
By Jessi Hempel: “Acumen is a leader in the fast-emerging hybrid sector that straddles private industry and nonprofits. Technically a nonprofit, it invests in enterprises in developing countries with the strategy and discipline of a Silicon Valley venture-capital firm. Acumen’s founder is Jacqueline Novogratz, a former banker with an infectious magnetism…Under her leadership, the fund manages $20 million in investments that fall within three portfolios: health, water, and housing. But Acumen’s goal is far larger than successful companies. Says Novogratz: “We’re creating an overall design for how you provide goods and services to poor people.”
“There’s growing interest among investors eager to fund for-profit businesses that have both social and economic impact. Rather, there’s a paucity of creative ideas. “It’s all about innovation,” says CEO Tim Brown of Ideo, who advises Acumen. “The money is there, but the solutions aren’t.”
“Acumen uses classic consumer-focused design methods to solve the problems of poverty…Acumen’s portfolio companies create from the bottom up…”Start with the individual,” says Novogratz. “Build systems from their perspective. Really pay attention, and then see if they can scale.” Plenty of nonprofits have embraced the term “venture philanthropy” in recent years. But while most aspire to new forms of grantmaking, Acumen eschews giving money away. Instead, it buys equity in companies and offers them loans. It made a $600,000 investment in WaterHealth International, which will help the startup expand its franchise model for delivering safe, affordable water to Indian customers.” FULL STORY.
From the Business Week article here are couple of more excerpts from their photo essay on the A to Z anti-malarial bed net solution, the full slide show is availabe at the beginning of the article:
Acumen’s most successful company to date is A to Z bednet factory in Tanzania, which makes inexpensive mosquito nets that protect people from malaria. This fall, A to Z will make its final payment on a $325 million loan. Acumen’s investment allowed A to Z to introduce a new kind of anti-malarial bed net that originated from Japanese company Sumitomo Chemical. This net is impregnated with a long-lasting insecticide that lasts for up to five years. A to Z also has found a cheaper way to weave the bed net. This will bring down the cost of production to $5 from $7.
Increasing Production, Creating Jobs: By the end of 2006, A to Z’s bed net production will ramp up to 7 million per year. The nets are currently protecting more than 5 million people in Tanzania. And 2,000 jobs have been created, primarily for women. Right now, most of the nets are purchased by UNICEF and distributed as a part of their aid efforts. Acumen is working with A to Z to distribute the nets through women sales agents, who buy them from A to Z and make a commission by selling the nets in their villages.
Thanks to Farzaneh for sending this, it looks like a fantastic film. Another testament to the use of video to spread messages about global development, RSVP IS TODAY – firstname.lastname@example.org:
Dear friends and colleagues,
For those of you who know me personally and/or through my work, you know that I have spent several years working tirelessly on a few documentary film projects about Africa while also committing my NYC time to an innovative youth organization called Urban Word NYC which provides after-school programming for inner city youth writers and poets throughout the five boroughs.
I’m happy and excited to announce that I’m finally blending these two passions with a new film project called MYTH OF THE MOTHERLAND that I have wanted to do for at least four years now. The film will follow ten Urban Word youth on a creative writing journey throughout Africa . For five weeks this summer, we will travel to five different countries as the youth meet with African scholars, writers, musicians and activists, creating poetry and art that will help break stereotypes about Africa and Africans for their American youth peers.
Perhaps an experience I had earlier this week will give you a sense of the impact I believe this project may have. On Monday, I screened Kebba Jobarteh and Nduka Amankulor’s film I directed called “We Will Not Die Like Dogs” profiling four African AIDS activists at a big American public health conference in Boston . The response I received from the Africans in the packed 250-person room solidified my belief that the next generation will have a better understanding of global health, development and the responsibility of the U.S. in world affairs if they are part of the dialogue about it, which is basically the premise of the film. Going to Africa has changed my ideas about the world immensely. Now I want to share it with the incredible and talented young people I have grown to love and respect.
I am attaching an invitation for a special cocktail reception that is occurring next Thursday, November 16th in anticipation of our fundraiser on December 12th in NYC. Hosted by Amanda Ward of Radioaktive Films, this reception is basically a call out to people who have great ideas, great contacts and/or great pocketbooks. I have included you on my personal invite list bc I believe you are at least one of them and understand or “get” what it is I am trying to do using the medium of film as my tool.
So, please come out and support this project. If you do not live in NYC, feel free to forward it to your contacts who may have an interest as well…it will be a very good night for networking and inspiration.
Thank you so much. Hope to see you next week!
Global health tasks can be conceptually divided into research, disease surveillance, health education, and health programs. In much of the developing world populations are quickly connecting to telecommunication networks via mobile phone systems. As new wireless systems come online, there is great potential to expand current global health activities. There are difficulties, however, in building the “last mile” of communications systems. To help bridge that information and communication technology (ICT) divide, USAID has funded engineering research through the Last Mile Initiative. The effort was recently profiled on the Development Gateway.
In the fall of 2005, under the supervision of Principal Investigator, Dr. Michael Best, thirteen students from the Georgia Institute of Technology came together as USAID Last Mile ICT Initiative (LMI) Innovation Fellows. This activity took place within the framework of USAID’s Last Mile Innovation Committee managed by dot-ORG. The students’ job was to provide fresh and dynamic new perspectives into LMI programs in Africa, S.E. Europe, and Latin America. These student research fellows came from every major discipline represented at Georgia Tech, including International Affairs, Computer Science, Industrial Engineering, Engineering Psychology, Mechanical Engineering, and Industrial Design. The results of these activities are contained in a volume titled “Last Mile Initiative Innovations: Research Findings from the Georgia Institute of Technology”

“A declaration of a war on SARS using a 1960s image”
In the realm of ICT (information and communciation technology) we have a current tendency to focus on the internet and mobile phone technology. Yesterday, while I was at the NIH campus, I was reminded of the powerful use of another form of ICTs – posters and poster advertisements. The NIH has a collection of over 7000 posters documenting public health and Chinese society from 1930s to SARS.
A visiting scholar (Dr. Liping Bu) in charge of this project discusses the importance of tactics for reaching people on a mass scale: “Say you have a public health problem whose scale is vast: a population of 500 million, with 90% living in the countryside, where the literacy rate is 5% and life expectancy is 35 years. Malnutrition is stark. Disease and mortality rates are atrocious – millions of cases of cholera, smallpox, typhoid, malaria, TB and schistosomiasis. Meanwhile, the country is emerging from decades of conflict, foreign invasion and civil war. This was China, 1949…Later in 1965 85-90% of the population lived in rural areas and 80% of health care workers lived in cities. A massive public health campaign was born that included ‘barefoot doctors’…While only 40% of barefoot doctors were women, a female was used as the public image which helped advance the idea of women as workers of equal status with men…the posters have played a key role in educating the public” The NIH poster collection can be found here.
“In 1965, a massive public health campaign used posters touting barefoot doctors”
“Posters have been a powerful force in shaping public opinion because propagandists have long known that visual impressions are extremely strong. People may forget a newspaper article but most remember a picture… The main objective of posters…is to influence attitudes…to alter the consciousness of the public to bring about an improvement in health practices.”- William H. Helfand, National Library of Medicine.
A Berkeley-based NGO, Venture Strategies for Health and Development, is working to win developing countries’ regulatory approval for use of misoprostol in treatment of postpartum hemorrhage. Nigeria and Ethiopia are two early adopters of the technology. The report below underscores the drug’s efficacy in settings where other drugs simply cannot reach. Misoprostol is heat stable, easy to administer, and safe at a wide range of doses.
Cheap drug to make childbirth safer in poor countries
October 2006, ScidevNet
The abortion drug misoprostol can be used to help save the lives of women who bleed heavily after giving birth, say researchers. The condition is a major killer of women in developing countries.
The results of a clinical trial in rural India published today (6 October) in The Lancet indicate that misoprostol reduced the incidence of postpartum haemorrhage by almost half. Death due to postpartum haemorrhage accounts for almost 30 per cent of maternal deaths in India, where nearly half of all births take place in the home or in facilities without a trained gynaecologist or obstetrician in attendance.
“The researchers showed that giving women misoprostol after birth is a safe, inexpensive means of preventing postpartum haemorrhage from occurring”. “This advance has the potential to save thousands of lives each year.” The researchers say it is “currently the only available pharmacological option for preventing postpartum haemorrhage and reducing postpartum blood loss in these communities”.
A major concern is the potential for the misuse of misoprostol. The drug is available, although illegally, as an over-the-counter pill. Approved for use in India in 2002, it is only supposed to be
taken under medical supervision, yet it is sold in several pharmacies.

The scope of people engaing today in the global health battle is unprecedented. In this case, pop figures have the potential to have a huge impact on awareness and involvment in global health. Again while this is not a direct innovation or technology I felt it noteworthy enough to include here because Jay Z is focused on solutions to the water crisis. Some of you might not agree with Shawn Carter’s (Jay Z) politics or lyrics, but this will be interesting. Something like this provides free education, free marketing and hopefully increases action. I read about this a couple of months ago, but the MTV piece – The Diary of Jay-Z: Water for Life – will air next month – SPREAD THE WORD!!
“Jay Z will be appearing in a new documentary where the multi-platinum rapper witnesses first hand the impact of the global water crisis.”
“More than one billion people lack access to safe drinking water, according to statistics, and water related diseases are the leading cause of death – constituting 80% of the world’s sicknesses. “
“In the beginning when I was going out on a world tour I was going out to play music in places that I haven’t played. I said to myself ‘I can’t go to these places that I haven’t been and not go out and see the people.’ The people that have been touched by my music for over ten years and the culture, what’s going on in these areas,” Jay told the press. “From that morphed, ‘well I’m not just gon’ go and do rap songs. I wanna touch, and maybe help, and see what I can do in these areas.’ As I start looking around me, looking at things in ways that I can become helpful, starting at the first thing, water. Something as simple as water.”
“I’m very pleased to announce today, a groundbreaking collaboration between the United Nations, MTV, [and] Jay-Z to raise awareness about the world’s water crisis,” Annan offered. “Jay-Z with his enormous influence will inspire young people everywhere to care and join in the search for solutions for our water crisis.” From SOHH…
I did not read the full report and based on the press release I am not sure how “groundbreaking” this study really is. I guess for the time being we will have to take their word for it. Either way its great they have (hopefully) demonstrated an investment case for vaccines and global health:
“WASHINGTON, October 20, 2006 — According to a groundbreaking study released today by BIO Ventures for Global Health (BVGH), a vaccine to prevent tuberculosis presents a significant opportunity for industry investment with a potential global market of US $450 million to nearly $1 billion.
The first study of its kind, Tuberculosis Vaccines: The Case for Investment analyzes the demand for a tuberculosis vaccine and the potential return on industry investment, while demonstrating that a new TB vaccine would have tremendous public health impact.
“Every year, tuberculosis kills more than 2 million people and approximately 8 million new cases develop…TB vaccines could reduce deaths by as much as 62 percent…’This study is a key achievement in the field. BVGH confirms that pursuing solutions to global health challenges is not only good business but a compelling opportunity to save millions of lives…Industry’s expertise is invaluable in our work to make an effective and affordable vaccine for TB a reality. We hope that this study encourages more companies to get involved in the fight against tuberculosis.”
Full story here.
This is a good example of the public banking sector using financial capital schemes to aid global health. Its great to see others invovled because the traditional public health community would not think of this or have access to capital in such a way:
“Six European countries plan to raise up to $1 billion in the international bond markets next week to buy life-saving vaccines for millions of children in the world’s poorest countries…”

This recent Wharton newsletter reinforces the power of mobile phones. We can see why mobile phones have had such a large impact on developing countries. Also the application to healthcare/global health has potential:
A good interview with NetCore CEO Rajesh Jain in the “Knowledge @ Wharton” e-newsletter reinforces the relative size of the mobile internet market relative to the PC users.
In India some 10 million people have access to a PC either at home, or at work, or both…That’s only for 10 million people at the top of the digital pyramid. This is the “PC first” segment.
In the middle of the pyramid are 30 million people who access the Internet through cybercafés. The price point today hovers around 15-20 rupees [35-45 U.S. cents] an hour. But you cannot build your digital life around cybercafés… That is where the mobile phone comes in. It is a device that these people have with them all the time — This is the “mobiles first” segment.
At the bottom of the pyramid are about 70 million people who have mobile phones but who have no access to computers, mostly for economic reasons. For them, the mobile phone is their primary device to connect to the world. This segment uses pre-paid mobile services; this is the “mobiles only” segment, and it is growing rapidly.
One of the first books to take a solutions oriented approach to global health was published last year. Millions Saved is wonderful book documenting success in public health. Considering the previous post on the TIME magazine cover story I thought it would be good to discuss what works. I highly recommend this book:
“Millions Saved: Proven Success in Global Health is about part of that success story: 17 cases in which large-scale efforts to improve health in developing countries have succeeded – saving millions of lives and preserving the livelihoods and social fabric of entire communities.”
“In 1977, diarrheal diseases among children was identified as the cause of at least half of all infant deaths in Egypt.”
“Intervention or Program: The National Control of Diarrheal Disease Project of Egypt was established to promote the use of locally manufactured oral rehydration salts, which reverse the course of dehydration. The program sought to distribute the salts, along with information about the appropriate treatment of children with diarrhea, through public and private channels. The program reached mothers through mass media, including television.”
“Impact: The program succeeded in increasing the production of oral rehydration salts, increasing mother’s correct use of these salts, and changing feeding behavior.”
Full case here. Enjoy.
This is a good article on diarrhea that just came out today in Time Europe (cover story), not sure why Time USA is not covering it. While there is a cheap and easy “low tech” solution this article discusses the problems plaguing this issue that is similar to many others – lack of education, attention, potentially misguided priorities & infrastructure:
“A Simple Solution -
Diarrhea kills more young children around the world than malaria, AIDS and TB combined. Yet a simple and inexpensive treatment can prevent many of those deaths. The treatment is a simple mixture of salt, sugar and water. So why isn’t more being done to fight diarrhea?”
From the middle of the article:
Diseases that have high profiles and vocal activists — such as aids, tuberculosis and malaria — attract far more interest and money from big donors and governments, based partly on the mistaken belief that they kill the most children. Celebrities don’t host concerts to fight diarrhea. Of 29 child-health specialists at major international development agencies surveyed by the Rotavirus Vaccine Program — a charity based in Seattle, Washington — 40% named aids, tuberculosis and malaria as the three greatest childhood killers. In reality, the top three are pneumonia, diarrhea and malaria. “This problem isn’t getting the attention it deserves…”
“Many family members don’t know how to prepare a life-saving remedy that can be assembled for just a few pennies: a large pinch of salt and a fistful of sugar dissolved in a jug of clean water, the simplest recipe for oral rehydration solution. “To save the life of a person with diarrhea is probably the cheapest health intervention you can think of…”
Read the article here.
Causes of Death (under age 5, source WHO)
The BBC reported today that mobile phone technology is being developed to help manage the spread of diseases such as HIV and bird flu.
“The software is designed to allow field workers using handsets to send and receive data on disease outbreak along with patient and drug information.”
“When a disease is spreading rapidly, health authorities need information that is bang-up-to-date“
“This means a doctor working in the field can send information to a central database about how many people are affected by a disease, patient status, drug inventory levels and receive information such as alerts, treatment guidelines or lab test results…The efforts of the international health community to control pandemics, by getting life-saving drugs to those in need, depend heavily on a comprehensive and accurate picture of what is happening on the ground.”
Here is an upcoming conference part of larger one dedicated to various ICT issues. “There is a significant action, which is taking place in the sphere of e-Health globally …to fully harness the benefits available through convergence of the Internet and health care… There is a lot more which can be done in the health sector for providing better health care and services, especially for the poor communities.” I picked this up from the I-Quench site. ABSTRACT DEADLINE: Nov 2006
“A simple, $150 device can save the lives of thousands of women around the world who are at risk from dying during childbirth. Suellen Miller explains the ‘life wrap’, which looks like a wet suit, and tells us how it can save lives.” Mother Jones Radio recently covered this story (begins at the 11:11 minute mark).
From the broadcast: “25-60% of death related to pregnancy is due to hemorrage…and 85% of women in poor countries deliver at home” meaning some of these women could die within 2 hours if they start hemoragging (the #1 cause of maternal mortality in US) but they are often times 2 days journey away from a hospital. According to the broadcast, in the past thirty years until now there has been no improvement made in maternal mortality, but this could provide a major solution. The Life Wrap device is now in trials.
Microbicide development is interesting for many many reasons (novel therapeutic, targeting women, development is via public-private partnerships, etc.). We would definitely like to post more about Microbocides considering their importance and potential revolutionary power. Here is a start:
September 29, 2006
Duke University biomedical engineers have developed a computer tool they say could lead to improvements in topical microbicides being developed for women to use to prevent infection by the virus that causes AIDS. By applying fundamentals of physics and chemistry, the researchers developed a computer model that can predict the effectiveness of various microbicidal recipes in destroying human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) before it reaches vulnerable body tissues.
The HIV pandemic continues to overwhelm current preventative measures as an estimated 12,000 people contract the infection each day, the researchers said. Increasingly, a disproportionate number of women are becoming infected…
“In many cases, women lack control over their abilities to protect themselves against the virus,” Katz said. “Microbicide development is a response to the demonstrated need for new female-controlled methods for HIV prophylaxis.”

– High-tech Web connection beams Hopkins medical experts across the globe in seconds
Imagine Johns Hopkins faculty members performing microsurgery in Tanzania from a computer terminal in a Baltimore operating room, or health care experts in Vietnam presenting an avian influenza patient to medical students gathered in the Hopkins outpatient center. These are some of the possible applications of a high-tech Internet communication system that will be used for the first time next week to link Johns Hopkins faculty with clinicians in India.
Internet2 is a high-speed, high-bandwidth, dedicated Internet network developed in 1996… On Tuesday, Oct. 3, Johns Hopkins faculty members will use this technology to conduct an interactive clinical education program on HIV/AIDS, with leading health care professionals in India.
“This is a major advancement in global medical education,” says Robert C. Bollinger M.D., M.P.H., professor of infectious diseases at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director of the Center for Clinical Global Health Education. “This technology will allow us to bring Hopkins’ expertise in clinical education to some of the most resource-limited settings in the world, and it will give Hopkins the opportunity to learn from experts in the field, thousands of miles away…You could never perform these procedures with a standard connection,” says Bollinger.
CHICAGO (AP) — Dozens of “(Product) Red” items will go on sale in the coming weeks by Gap Inc., Apple Computer Inc., Motorola Inc., Converse Inc. and Emporio Armani. Portions of the product sales will go to The Global Fund, an organization that fights AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
“Some people won’t put on marching boots, so we’ve got to get to people where they are at, and they’re in the shopping malls,” Bono said in a phone interview. “Now you’re buying jeans and T-shirts, and you’re paying for 10 women in Africa to get medication for their children with HIV.” “We’ve moved from the philanthropy budgets to the marketing budgets, and guess what, there’s no comparison in size,” Bono said. “We now have some of the most creative people in commerce — Steve Jobs, the marketing people at Gap and Motorola — all working for the world’s poor. That is so so cool.”http://www.joinred.com
OCT 29th, NYC. This is a great thing to get young people mobilized and to capture their ideas:
“The NYU Global Health Review and Americans for Informed Democracy are hosting a Young Leaders Summit on Global Health with the theme: “Innovative Solutions to Healthcare in Low Resource Settings.” The summit will be a forum for discussions on the healthcare crises such as the AIDS pandemic that impact the developing world and indigent areas of the developed world, innovative options for alleviating these crises, and the manner in which sustainable infrastructure can be built for long-term healthcare improvement.”
“The handsets, wholesale-priced at under $30, are targeted for markets such as India, South Africa, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Thailand, the Philippines, and Yemen…To get below US$30 per handset is a milestone achievement…and will bring the benefits of mobile communications to a huge swathe of people in developing countries.”
Dramatic cell phone growth has occured over the past decade (graph from MIT). For those in the public health realm who are unaware of the tremendous impact of mobile phones across the world, it’s worthwhile considering the following two facts – there are now 2.5 billion mobile phone connections and 59% of mobile phone users are now in developing countries. Already people are trying to use this ICT (information and communication technology) for various health related reasons (medication reminders, data entry and transmission, pandemic tracking, etc.). ICTs (e.g. internet, phones, radios, etc) will have a profound impact on global health. I picked up this story from NEXTBILLION.NET (here and here). Also tipped off from next billion, you can read more about Africa and mobile phones here.
Healthcare Information For All by 2015: HIFA2015 email forum launches today. HIFA2015 is a new global email discussion group with an ambitious but achievable goal: ‘By 2015, every person worldwide will have access to an informed healthcare provider.
The group will provide a neutral discussion space for all those with an interest in the creation, exchange and use of relevant, practical healthcare information for family carers, primary health workers, and district-level healthcare providers in developing and transitional countries.
This will launch formally in Mombasa, Kenya, on 26th October 2006, at the 10th Congress of the Association for Health Information and Libraries in Africa. For further details, see this.
I have surprisingly seen little coverage on the UN’s latest marketing tactic. I heard on “On The Money” (CNBC financial show) of all places that the UN has taken “celebrity” power + argubaly the hotest website (YouTube) to reach people about global poverty. With 34 million visitors per month, this link to YouTube is surprisingly saavy. LINK TO VIDEO…
The UN has teamed up with one of the most recently watched controversial posters who has been all over the news (Lonelygirl15) on YouTube to deliver their “Stand Up” against poverty campaign. The only mention of this comes from a CNET.com news blog referencing the WSJ article today:
WSJ 10/9/07 “U.N. Enlists Internet Star for Antipoverty Pitch”
“The U.N. has enlisted the star of hugely popular Web video series LonelyGirl15 and other Web video makers to participate in an ad campaign promoting an antipoverty event it plans Sunday…
The U.N. hopes the videos will spark buzz about its call for people around the world to “stand up against poverty” at rallies and other events planned for a 24-hour period Sunday. The online videos are part of a broader ad campaign, designed by WPP Group‘s ad agency Y&R, also involving television.”
I have seen a few other organizations engage in this type of social marketing, but global health advocates should take note of tools like this to spread their messages.
Recently Kenneth Behring (through his foundation) donated almost $650,000 to develop a website on the importance of safe drinking water by 2007. Behring, a real estate mogul and former owner of the Seattle Seahawks, has donated over $120 million to various causes including the Smithsonian, The Wheelchair Foundation and other water related causes. Thie purpose of water website effort is to:
“develop a web-based resource to inform decision makers around the world about the importance of safe drinking water — and what they can do to meet this need. ‘Safe water is essential for health, yet remains one of the most critical problems facing the world today,’ said Behring. “One out of every five people lacks access to clean drinking water. We must create innovative, sustainable approaches that can make a significant impact on the world’s water crisis.” Read more here.
I am not clear on what this website will do, how it will be promoted and how such a critical message will be spread. I guess we will see what happens next year. Issues surrounding water are incredibly important/dire and we plan to post more on technology and innovation in this area.

Its been a busy month for OneWorld Health (OWH), the first *non profit*
drug company in the US. OWH is dedicated to developing pharmaceuticals
for neglected diseases in developing counties. The first major event is that
they recieved their first drug approval last week for Visceral leishmaniasis.
They have faced many hurdles in starting this venture and getting to this
point, I highly encourage you check out their story. From their website,
they have a couple more drugs in the pipeline:
Second, Dr. Victoria Hale, founder, recieved the $500,000 MacArthur Genius Award. You can read more in this US News article. Finally, The mainstream press has a related article covering a OWH project with Amryis Biotechnologies to develvop a malaria compound. This piece also discusses the business idelogy some non-profit funders are taking. Its short on details, but a good summary. I am sure there will be future entries on OWH and hopefully we will have time to post a short interview from staff there.

Clinical and aetiological study of hand, foot and mouth disease in southern Vietnam, 2013-2015: Inpatients and outpatients.
Hoang MTV., Nguyen TA., Tran TT., Vu TTH., Le NTN., Nguyen THN., Le THN., Nguyen TTH., Nguyen TH., Le NTN., Truong HK., Du TQ., Ha MT., Ho LV., Do CV., Nguyen TN., Nguyen TMT., Sabanathan S., Phan TQ., Nguyen Van VC., Thwaites GE., Wills B., Thwaites CL., Le VT., van Doorn HR.
BACKGROUND: Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) has been associated with large outbreaks among young children in the Asia-Pacific Region since 1997, including cases of severe illness and death. Severe illness is often associated with enterovirus A71 (EV-A71). Vietnam experienced a large sustained outbreak of 200000 hospitalized cases and over 200 deaths in 2011-12, the large majority occurring in southern Vietnam. METHODS: A prospective observational study was conducted in the outpatient clinics, infectious diseases wards, and paediatric intensive care units of the three main referral centres for the treatment of HFMD in southern Vietnam. Demographic data, basic laboratory parameters, and clinical data were recorded, and molecular diagnostic tests were performed. RESULTS: Between July 2013 and July 2015, a total of 1547 children were enrolled. Four serotypes of enterovirus A (EV-A71, Coxsackievirus (CV) A6, A10, and A16) were responsible for 1005 of 1327 diagnosed cases (75.7%). An unexpected dominance of EV-A71 was found among both inpatients and outpatients, as well as a strong association with severe illness. CV-A6 and CV-A10 emerged in Vietnam during the study period and replaced CV-A16. CV-A10 was associated with different clinical and laboratory characteristics. During admission, 119 children developed a more severe illness. It was found that children with a skin rash showed less progression of severity, but when a rash was present, a macular rash was significantly associated with an increased risk of progression. CONCLUSIONS: This study represents the most comprehensive descriptive HFMD study from Vietnam to date. Co-circulation and replacement of different serotypes has implications for vaccine development and implementation. These findings from a severely affected country add to our understanding of the presentation, progression, and aetiology of HFMD.

First off, Happy Father’s Day to all you Dads out there. As I am writing this, my kids are making me my gift and I just had my coffee brought to me by my awesome wife. I will say that it is Father’s Day just about everyday for me. My family is VERY understanding and supportive of my hobby and I say thank you for that.
Well the first thing that comes to mind when I see the Nighthawk and Have Blue together is the outright size difference. Yes, they are both built in the same scale (1/72). The similarities and the slight differences are striking in their own right. Regardless, it is neat to see the evolution of the F-117.

The generosity of scholarship and bursary donors who give to the University of Aberdeen will be recognised at an event this evening (Tuesday April 24).
Now in its tenth year, the annual Scholars’ Reception gives students who have benefited from a scholarship the opportunity to meet with their donors and fellow scholarship recipients.
The University currently administers 316 scholarships totalling £3.2million. This figure has increased by 19% in the last year.
Over 70 guests - including donors, academic staff and scholars themselves - will attend the reception which aims to raise awareness of the importance of scholarships and how they change the lives of talented students. A further reception will take place later in the year aimed specifically at corporate donors and the scholars they support.
Professor Ian Diamond, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Aberdeen will speak alongside Emma Clyne, recipient of the W Robin Low Scholarship at the event which takes place in the institution’s new Library.
Professor Diamond said: “The Scholars' Reception is an opportunity for the University of Aberdeen to thank our donors for their generosity, express our pride in our scholars and the work of our staff.
“Universities contribute to the good of society in many ways - but helping people to fulfil their potential is the most important contribution that we can make. The investment of individuals and companies in establishing scholarships is not only an investment in one talented individual – it is also an investment in this University and the society it serves.”
For organisations or individuals wishing to discuss the benefits of establishing a scholarship with the University of Aberdeen please contact Aimi Brown at the University of Aberdeen Development Trust by emailing email@example.com .
“Fundraising income for the University of Aberdeen is channelled through the institution’s Development Trust which is an independent registered charity. The Trust raises essential funds to support much of the University’s activities such as vital medical research as well as supporting students through the provision of scholarships, bursaries and facilities.

Sony Group Corporation has initiated a Singapore arbitration case against Indian TV giant Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (ZEEL), alleging breaches of their failed merger agreement, Variety has confirmed.
The $10 billion merger, which would have seen the two entities merge their TV and streaming businesses in India, was terminated on Monday by Sony after a two-year process.
More from Variety
Sony is seeking a $90 million termination fee from ZEEL. ZEEL has “initiated appropriate legal action” to contest all Sony’s claims at the Singapore International Arbitration Centre, the company said in a regulatory filing to India’s National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange on Wednesday. In the filing, ZEEL said that the merger had been greenlit by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and that Sony’s “claim for termination fee is legally untenable and has no basis whatsoever.” ZEEL added that it has called upon Sony to “immediately withdraw the termination and confirm that they will perform their obligations to give effect to and implement the merger scheme,” as sanctioned by the NCLT. The company has asked the NCLT for “directions to implement the merger scheme.”
Meanwhile, Sony India head N.P. Singh, has issued a rallying call to his troops. That comes despite investment analyst suggestions that both companies are not of sufficient scale to compete at the front of India’s entertainment industry and are left weakened by the collapsed deal.
In an internal email to staff seen by Variety, Singh wrote: “This change in our plans allows us to step into a new phase of our story, which I believe is full of promise. Our journey towards the merger has been remarkable, showing us how resilient and dedicated we can be when working towards a common goal. As we transition from this phase, I am, along with the senior management team, committed to setting the company up for a long-term, strong future. We will actively explore new organic and inorganic possibilities to strengthen our market presence.”
“Our immediate focus will be back on unleashing our full potential, continuing to craft content that not only engages our audience but also boosts subscriber growth and revenues, thereby nurturing a culture rooted in excellence, pivotal for our ongoing growth and success. We’ve always been at our best when innovating and pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve. The M&E world is constantly changing, and our journey is not just about adapting to change; it’s about leading it,” Singh added.
“I express my deepest gratitude to each of you for your unwavering commitment and resilience. Your dedication is the driving force behind our success and the reason I have absolute faith in our bright future. Together, we have navigated challenges and celebrated triumphs, and this experience will be no different. Let us enter this next phase confidently and optimistically. We have a world of opportunities waiting for us, and I am excited to embark on this journey with you all,” Singh concluded.
ZEEL share prices, which had crashed by more than 30% on Tuesday on the news of the failed merger, rallied 8% on Wednesday as traders took advantage of the dip and bought at the cheaper price.

BBC star confirms she’s turned down I’m A Celebrity and reveals why she’ll never appear on show | The Sun
A BBC star has turned down I'm a Celebrity and revealed while she'll never do the show.
Historian Mary Beard, presenter of BBC series Civilisations, won't be taking part in the I'm a Celebrity bushtucker trials any time soon.
She is mum to grown-up children Zoe and Raphael and Mary has told how they've begged her not to sign up for the show.
Speaking to The Times, Mary said: "I had to discuss it with the kids, because they weren’t kids then, and they said ‘Don’t you dare do it, don’t you dare!’"
As well as her work on Civilisations and documentaries about the Romans, Mary is also Professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge, a fellow of Newnham College, and Royal Academy of Arts Professor of Ancient Literature.
But although Mary has ruled out any bushtucker trials, someone who I'm a Celeb fans could be seeing when the show returns later this year is First Dates star Fred Sirieix.

A TV insider recently told The Sun: “Show bosses hope he’ll be a hit with the ladies watching, which is part of the reason they’ve targeted him.
“Everyone’s really excited that they’re close to signing him up.”
Others said to be up for the next series include This Morning’s Josie Gibson.

Oh, for those lines I used the stroke path under the shortcut menu instead of under the edit menu, with the pencil instead of the brush. I'll make sure to use the other one with anti-alias.Allashandra said:The speedlines you redraw do help bring out that faded area but I think maybe they didn't have anti-alias on them either? The look a little jagged. Since you don't want the redrawing you did to stand out more then the actual drawing on the page I would have reduced the opacity of the tool you were using to make the line to around 80 percent (in this case) to more closely match the other lines.

According to a recently published State of Maine official government web site press release, Maine Emergency Management Agency, along with Maine Governor John E. Baldacci, are reminding Maine residents and people all across the United States that the best way to help with the California wildfire disasters is by supporting a relief program or organization in their area. There are numerous ways to help, including donation of money, clothing, and other needed items.
The Governor announced that many Maine citizens have been calling into his office in Augusta, asking about ways that they can help the people of southern California recover from their loses.
Governor Baldacci proudly said about these calls, “Whenever there is a disaster, Mainers step forward to help.”
Maine Emergency Management Agency, also known as MEMA, is one way that help is getting across the country from Maine to California.
MEMA’s Director, Rob McAleer said, “The best way to help right now is with monetary donations to a relief agency working in the disaster area.”
You don’t have to live in Maine to help the people of southern California either. The State of California has officially established its own Donations Hotline at 1-800-750-2858.
Additionally, several other agencies and organizations, including local units, through the Network for Good (http://www.networkforgood.org) and the Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (http://www.nvoad.org).
All local organizations and charity chapters through Maine, California, and the rest of the United States will be accepting money donations that will directly go to help people either recover or rebuild. However, to find a local charity or help organization in Maine, visit volunteermaine.org. Here you can volunteer to help with disaster relief and even receiving training as a volunteer. Anyone is welcome to participate in helping others.
Money also allow organizations to purchase supplies or tools as close to the problem as possible. This cuts of the costs of travel, transportation, and other geographical related expenses. It can also help support the local economy in the time of a crisis.
The State of Maine and Governor Baldacci is reminding residents that they can contact FEMA or the American Red Cross (https://disastersafe.redcross.org) to get information and connect with those who have been displaced or moved by the fires in southern California.
One way to get information is by taking advantage of toll free hot lines that are being run by FEMA:
Register you and your family during displacement: 1-800-588-9822
Find family or friends (over 21): 1-800-588-9822
Find a missing or displaced child (under 21): 1-866-908-9570

United Nations, Oct 14 (Prensa Latina) The US blockade submits Cuban institutions to a financial persecution that has worsened in recent years, the Cuban mission at the United Nations stressed on Sunday.
The diplomatic mission explained through a press release that from April 2017 to March 2018, the monetary and financial effects of the blockade amounted to 538,300 million dollars.
The damage to Cuba’s banking system due to incidents reported in 128 foreign banks over the same period were also included in these statistics, the statement said.
The regulations and provisions adopted by the US Departments of Treasury, Commerce and State, approved in November 2017, prohibit direct financial transactions by persons or companies subject to US jurisdiction with 179 Cuban entities and their branches.
This measure resulted in the cancellation of bank transfers to and from Cuban companies included in the list of sanctioned institutions, the Cuban mission at the UN stated.
This situation indirectly affects the operations of Cuban banking institutions, which are forced to modify the usual channels – already severely restricted – to make their payments, thus creating difficulties and additional costs in commercial transaction.
Cuba is still unable to use the US dollar in commercial and financial operations abroad, as well as accessing financing sources from US banks and commercial institutions.
There are still difficulties related to the access to new technologies of the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), as most companies that provide the software and technologies are from the United States.
From April 2017 to March 2018, bank transactions with Cuba were returned by 55 foreign entities, 26 of which were from Europe, 15 from Asia, 11 from Latin America, two from North America and one from Oceania.

If the name itself OM-D E-M1 didn’t sound high tech enough for you, let me tell you, this may be the only camera you’ll ever want to carry. If you’re a semi-pro or as I like to dub myself, “amateur pro” — we like, even LOVE the big guns but taking it with us every where isn’t the most convenient. To meet the demand for a more compact sized camera that delivers pro quality images, Olympus debuted earlier this evening at an exclusive press event, the revolutionary OM-D E-M1 and it is a beaut!
The OM-D E-M1 is the successor to the Olympus E-5 DSLR , making it their new premium flagship camera. The E-M1 has a revolutionary design for advanced photographers looking for a high-performance tool in a compact system camera package. The powerful E-M1 is packed with incredible speed and image quality that rivals full-frame DSLRs, in a portable yet lightweight body designed to go anywhere. This is perfect for someone like me who shoots children who move lightening fast and wants to catch all those memorable moments.
The Olympus OM-D E-M1 works seamlessly with all ZUIKO Digital lenses, in addition to working with M.ZUIKO Digital lenses, so photographers can enjoy optimum performance and range from the entire Olympus lens lineup. This is possible due to advanced DUAL FAST AF system that combines both Contrast AF and On-Chip Phase Detection AF. DSLR users familiar with an optical viewfinder will marvel at its electronic viewfinder (EVF) that is as large as a full-frame DSLR viewfinder and has added creative control. Its ergonomic body provides easy access to all manual controls and is ready for action in the most difficult shooting conditions.
Without getting too technical, here are some of our favorite stand out features from the OM-D E-M1:
- Rugged Freeze, Splash, Dustproof Durability – As someone who likes to get down and dirty with the kids, the Olympus OM-D E-M1 one-up’s the E-M5 even further with freezeproof capabilities — guaranteed operation down to 14 ºF — for the best environmental resistance of any Olympus interchangeable lens camera. Its durable magnesium alloy body, and weather-resistant seals and gaskets block moisture and dust for use in any environment, without sacrificing image quality. The camera’s Supersonic Wave Filter (SSWF) dust reduction system vibrates at a super-high speed of more than 30,000 times per second to powerfully remove dust particles so users can shoot in dusty environments as well. Meaning you’ll survive that beach shoot with amazing photos to boot!
- The Most Effective 5-Axis Image Stabilization System – Simply amazing is all I can say. The Olympus E-M1’s built-in 5-Axis Image Stabilization with Multi-Motion IS mechanism reduces the effects of camera motion and image blur from five directions. Whether shooting stills or HD video, even the motion blur caused by walking or running is stabilized. Can you imagine how life changing that can be for someone whose swears her kids run faster than a speeding bullet proofed by her many blurred images. New algorithms make image stabilization more effective at low shutter speeds. When it is employed while panning during still image shooting or movie recording, IS-AUTO mode automatically detects the camera’s movements and provides optimal correction regardless of direction or camera orientation – even when panning in a diagonal direction. Users can check the image stabilization effects on the Live View screen as well as the viewfinder to accurately frame and focus, even during telephoto or macro shooting. Multi-Motion IS, used in combination with the 5-Axis Image Stabilization mechanism, produces excellent correction during movie recording.
- Built-In Wi-Fi – This is what obsessions are made of. By quickly scanning the QR code displayed on the camera’s LCD with a smart device, it syncs with the Wi-Fi network created by the camera. The free Olympus Image Share 2.0 smartphone app synchronizes a user’s smartphone and E-M1 so the camera’s “Live View” is effectively displayed on your phone, and the camera can be controlled by touching the smartphone display as if it were the camera. This is ideal for taking self-portraits, capturing images of wildlife from a distance and sharing images easily online. The E-M1’s remote shooting function has been improved for use in all main shooting modes (P, A, S, M and iAUTO). Users can now wirelessly adjust various settings, such as the shutter speed, aperture value, ISO and exposure compensation, as well as operate the Live Bulb shooting mode from their Wi-Fi devices. They can also use their smartphone to embed GPS information into their images. Again — a GAME CHANGER.

The Hills starlet, Audrina Patridge, 24, was caught sneaking out of Hollywood hot spot Wonderland late-night on Jan. 20 on what’s seemingly a cute little date with rocker Ryan Cabrera, 27. But this isn’t the first time the pair has been caught out together over the past week, either. Our pal, blogger Micah Jesse, caught the new couple getting cozy at trendy NYC diner Cafeteria Jan. 15 and letting loose your inner rockers at a performance of Broadway’s Rock of Ages Jan. 17.
But is this the couple’s second shot at love? A source tells HollywoodLife.com that Audrina and Ryan tried to make it as a couple after he broke it off with ex Ashlee Simpson in 2005.
That sounds like a rebound if we ever heard one! But both y’all have been single for quite some time now…so hopefully this time your relationship is the real deal!
Do you think Audrina and Ryan make a cute couple?

The Chungar Lead-Zinc Mine is in Pasco, Peru. The site was first discovered in 1924. The Chungar Lead-Zinc Mine is a underground mining operation. Initial production took place in 1950. The ore mined is composed of molybdenite, galena and sphalerite with waste material consisting primarily of pyrrhotite, garnet and calcite.

Lead Concentrate. General properties of Lead. Lead is a soft and heavy metal that has good corrosion resistance and it is one of the oldest metals used by mankind. Lead is less common than copper and zinc in earth crust, and it is the thirty-first abundant element in the earth's crust. The lead atomic number is 83. Its colour is dull gray.
The established lead-zinc ore flotation processing scheme is to add zinc sulphate (ZnSO4) to the grind to control metal ion activation (sphalerite depression). Often metabisulphide or other sulphidation chemicals are added with the zinc sulphate for iron sulphide mineral depression.
Lead-Zinc Deposits Independent of Igneous Intrusions These are well-defined fissure veins of galena and zinc blende in a gangue of calcite with pyrite, marcasite, and copper pyrites. Quartz is usually not plentiful, and the silver values are low Barite and fluorspar are sometimes abundant.
The metallic ore minerals are mostly in sulphides, such as galena, sphalerite, enargite, and argentite. Gangue minerals include quartz, pyrite, rhodochrosite, and barite. The mineralogy changes with distance from the intrusive rock. Closest to the intrusion is the copper-gold zone; next is the lead-silver zone, then the zinc-manganese zone.
characterisation and flotation studies carried out on the lead-zinc ore sample with a particular reference to the effects of various process parameters. Experimental Materials The lead-zinc ore sample used for this study analysed 2.47% Pb and 13.63% Zn with 16.64% CaO and 11.89% MgO.
The ore often consists up to lead-zinc sulfides, with little or no pyrite, chalcopyrite or gangue sulfides. The footwall to the mineralization is a psammopelite gneiss, consisting of feldspar, quartz, garnet, biotite and amphibole, with a pelite gneiss on the hanging wall.
Zinc processing - Zinc processing - The zinc-lead blast furnace: Sintered zinc and lead concentrates, mixed with metallurgical coke, are charged into the top of a shaft furnace, into which preheated air is blown through nozzles, or tuyeres, at the base (see figure).

Lead & Zinc Lead and zinc preconcentrators using DMS. Base metals ores typically contain high levels of low SG gangue minerals and after secondary or tertiary crushing the liberation is sufficient to achieve impressive separation outcomes using gravity processes, with DMS proving particularly useful.
For example, galena, an ore of lead, is usually found in large pieces within its gangue, so it does not normally need extensive processing to remove it; but cassiterite, the chief ore of tin, is usually disseminated as very small crystals throughout its gangue, so when it is mined from hard rock, the ore-bearing rock first needs to be crushed ...

particularly silver, zinc, copper and sometimes gold. Thus lead is also a co-product of zinc, copper and silver production making the extraction of lead more economic than if it occurred in isolation.

Elder – Reflections of a Floating World
Label: Armageddon Shop/Stickman Records
Release Date: June 2, 2017
In my short time reviewing albums for Metalholic, it has become clear to me that my personal tastes generally lie well outside those of the audience this site generally caters to. That’s just fine with me. I’ve always relished the opportunity to introduce people to music they might otherwise never stumble upon themselves, particularly because I myself owe the ever-expanding nature of my musical preferences to scattered resources across the internet, not to mention a few close friends who are keen to toss new things my way. The further along the trajectory of discovery you allow yourself to move, the more the pieces and parts blend together to the point that it becomes difficult to identify the exact characteristics which define your individual tastes. It’s a wonderful place to be.
If the assumption I posited above is indeed true, this will likely mark the first time that many of you have heard of a Massachusetts-based band called Elder. Comprised of guitarist and vocalist Nicholas DiSalvo, bassist Jack Donovan, and drummer Matt Couto, Elder unveiled their stoner/doom-tinged self-titled debut in 2008 followed three years later by the release of the seminal Dead Roots Stirring, both on Idaho’s own MeteorCity Records. Both albums, the latter in particular, made it immediately clear that Elder had ambitions well beyond their Sabbath-worshiping peers. Almost from the get-go, Elder displayed a penchant for writing epic songs—regularly extending beyond the 10 minute mark—imbued with a depth and focus that seemed otherworldly considering they were written by guys who were in their late teens or early 20’s.
Dead Roots Stirring was followed by a few minor releases, including a live album recorded at the 2013 iteration of the legendary Roadburn Festival, and a fantastic EP entitled Spires Burn/Release. By this point in their career, Elder had a well-established following in the stoner rock community thanks in large part to their consistent touring in Europe, where the type of music they purvey enjoys a more established following. If Dead Roots Stirring was a revelation, then the release of Elder’s much-anticipated 3rd album, Lore, was nothing short of career defining. Released late in the winter of 2015, Lore is a rare example of an album that is quite literally perfect in every sense of the word. From the album’s one-word-is-enough title, to the evocative artwork courtesy of long-time collaborator Adrian Dexter, to the songs themselves—Lore is the proverbial complete package. In keeping with subsequent releases, Lore saw the band expand their sound in significant ways, most notably through the exploration of prog and psychedelia. To the surprise of no one who heard it, the album landed on several year-end “best-of” lists and pushed the band further into the collective consciousness of a burgeoning underground scene they all-of-a-sudden found themselves the torchbearers of.
At this point, trying to describe Elder’s sound is an almost impossible task. For starters, they don’t sound like what you’d expect from a traditional 3-piece, like, say, High on Fire. Their sound has roots in stoner and doom metal, to be sure, but they are much more than that thanks to the incredibly colorful guitar playing of guitarist and vocalist Nick DiSalvo. I always hate singling band members out (especially since it’s almost always the guitarist/singer who gets the glory), but there is little denying that DiSalvo’s guitar skills are the primary driving force behind the band’s sound given his ability to stack emotive and imaginative leads atop the band’s thundering groove. Beyond that, I can’t do their sound justice with mere words because every other means I can think of in trying to describe what they sound like seems like a contradiction in terms. They’re heavy, but they aren’t a “metal” band. Their compositions are long, lush, and complex—yet somehow simple and never indulgent. They sound similar to a hundred other bands, but they sound like nobody else. They’re comprised of 3 young men who call themselves Elder, for crying out loud. None of it makes any sense!
As I alluded to at the start, I’m writing this under the assumption that most people who regularly read Metalholic haven’t discovered Elder yet. All I really need to say about their latest release, Reflections of a Floating World, is that it is a fantastic album full of all of the impossible-to-describe (for me at least) elements that make Elder one of the most unique and intriguing rocks bands in the world right now. Sonically, they’ve made a smaller leap than they did between previous releases, but there is no doubt they’ve fleshed out their sound into what feels like the definitive version of themselves—partly due to the contributions of guest guitarist Michael Risberg who will also join the band on tour. I have no idea where they go from here. They’ve pushed boundaries I didn’t even know existed.
Listen to Elder.
I’ve nothing more to say.

Photo Identification is now required for all elections held in Wisconsin. Below is a list of documents that will be acceptable for voting. Please be sure to have one with you when you go to the polls. They are also required if you request an absentee ballot.
The EAB is now a reality in Richland Center. The City and WI DNR would greatly appreciate the publics assistance. If you have an Ash Tree in your yard and plan to trim it or remove it, please call City Forester David Fry at 608-604-6713. The part of the tree that is removed has to be kept separate from the brush piles outside of the landfill. We are currently reviewing the plan already developed and will update the public when we have specifics set in place. Thank you for your cooperation.
EAB Confirmed in Marquette, Richland Counties for First Time
MADISON – Marquette County will become the 38th Wisconsin county to be quarantined for emerald ash borer, following discovery of the tree-killing beetle in the Town of Montello there. In addition, EAB has been confirmed for the first time in Richland County in the town of Dayton.
Marquette County will now be placed under quarantine.
Richland County has been under quarantine for EAB since July 2014, so this new find does not change anything from a regulatory standpoint there. Four counties – Lafayette, Iowa, Green and Richland — were quarantined in 2014 because they were surrounded by counties where EAB had been found, and it was likely EAB was present there in low numbers that are difficult to detect. EAB has now been confirmed in all of those counties except Iowa. Actually confirming the presence of EAB should alert residents that it is more important than ever not to move firewood from the county to non-quarantine areas, officials say.
Both new EAB detections resulted from routine trap monitoring. In Richland County, staff from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection found two adult beetles July 28 in a trap along Highway 14 in the Town of Dayton, about five miles west of Richland Center. There are a few ash trees in the immediate area, and they show symptoms of EAB infestation.
U.S. Department of Agriculture staff found one adult beetle July 29 in a Marquette County trap along Cotters Bay Road in the Town of Montello, about a mile west of the city of Montello. The level of EAB activity there has not been determined yet.
Quarantines prohibit ash wood products and hardwood firewood from being moved to areas that are not quarantined. For businesses handling wood products that could carry EAB, this means that they must work with DATCP to assure that they are not transporting the pest to non-quarantine counties. For private citizens, a quarantine means that residents may not take firewood from these counties to non-quarantine counties.
“We strongly discourage moving firewood even within quarantine areas,” said Brian Kuhn, Plant Industry Bureau Director in the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. “The vast majority of EAB infestations have resulted from the movement of firewood, as evidenced by the number of times our first find in a given county has been in campgrounds. Most of the quarantined counties are not generally infested, so moving firewood within them could bring the pest to new areas in the county that would otherwise remain uninfested for several years.”
Kuhn notes that other forest pests and diseases also move easily and invisibly from one location to another under the bark of firewood.
DATCP recommends that property owners who have ash trees in quarantine counties:
- Keep a close watch for possible signs of EAB infestation: Thinning canopy, D-shaped holes in the bark, cracked bark, branches sprouting low on the trunk, and woodpeckers pulling at bark.
- Consider preventive treatments if your property is within 15 miles of a known infestation.
- Consider planting different species of trees that are not susceptible to EAB.
- Call a professional arborist, and visit emeraldashborer.wi.gov for detailed information.
Emerald ash borer is native to China and probably entered the United States on packing material, showing up first in Michigan in 2002. It was first found in Wisconsin in 2008 in Ozaukee County.
Other quarantined Wisconsin counties are Adams, Brown, Buffalo, Calumet, Columbia, Crawford, Dane, Dodge, Door, Douglas, Fond du Lac, Grant, Green, Iowa, Jefferson, Juneau, Kenosha, Kewaunee, La Crosse, Lafayette, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Monroe, Oneida, Outagamie, Ozaukee, Racine, Rock, Sauk, Sheboygan, Trempealeau, Vernon, Walworth, Washington, Waukesha and Winnebago.
EAB adults lay eggs on the bark of ash trees in mid- to late summer. When the eggs hatch a week or two later, the larvae burrow under the bark for the winter and feed, forming the characteristic S-shaped tunnels and destroying the tree’s ability to take up nutrients and water. The following summer, the adults emerge through D-shaped holes in the bark.
The Wisconsin Emerald Ash Borer Program includes DATCP; DNR; UW-Madison; UW-Extension; USDA Forest Service and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
The City of Richland will run an additional test each month of the warning sirens to identify any system issues such as a non-functioning one. The Sheriff’s Department will conduct the test on the first Wednesday of each month about noon, as they have in the past. The additional test will be activated via a remote device on the third Wednesday of each month about noon effective July 15, 2015.
The Department of Public Works Employees are making their way through the City and marking sidewalks that can be a hazard to pedestrians. Once the marking is finished, affected property owners will receive a letter with instructions on repair or replacement options.
The City Council approved a tagging system for large item collection at the curb for residents who are unable to take those items to the landfill. reso 2014-9 tagging system fees
The first option and least expensive option is to take your items to the landfill. The landfill hours are Mondays and Wednesdays from 8AM to 1PM.
The second option is to call Town and Country Sanitation at 800-626-1915. They can record the item(s) you wish to dispose of and take credit card information over the telephone in order to process your request. The cost per item is the same as for curb side collection as listed in the attached resolution.
The third option is to physically come in to the City Clerk’s Office, obtain a sticker for each item and pay at that time. Residents who do not follow one of these options will be penalized by double the cost to remove the item plus a $250.00 administration fee. The Resolution is effective May 1, 2014.
The Richland Museum and Visitor Center will be opening May 24th, 2014.
Hours will be Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. A special thanks to employees of the Brewer Library and the History Room who have spent many hours going through items in storage, set them up for display at the Depot – 397 W. Seminary Street and prepared or obtained all area information for visitors. All have done a great job!!!
The museum / visitor center will be staffed by volunteers and a special thank you to all volunteers who have stepped up to be there for the public and assist visitors. Stop in to see them!

I was a little concerned when reading other reviews that it would ruin the note of my 91 imported roadster. After thinking long and hard for month or so I decided to go for it!
Removal of the cat was a complete nightmare because of the original weather beaten bolts. After a crazy solution and bit of patience I managed to remove the nuts with an angle grinder. To my joy the back box shifted back and the cat dropped. With bypass pipe fitted in seconds I was raring to go.
The first thing you notice is that the exhaust note sounds fantastic, especially 2500+ rpm with my standard Bosal rear back box. It really does sound like a vintage sports car. You will see what I mean when you drop cog and let her go. mmmm. The only slight drawback (and I mean slight) is that it does sound a little flat (as if your back box sprung a tiny leak) below 2000rpm. But you shouldn’t allow this to put you off!
I could instantly feel the increase in power when I took it for a quick test drive. It picks up much quicker and is so much better through the gears I regret not getting one sooner! Very happy.
I knew that by removing the cat my car would go further on fuel but I didn’t expect it to be this good. I spend so much less time & money filling my car up with 97ron that it makes me smile. This thing will pay for itself. Just ask someone who has fitted one. Major plus!
If it’s a sports note, more power and better fuel economy, look no further!
