A retired business owner inspired by downtown Fort Wayne's renaissance is hoping to spark a similar comeback for the city's southeast side.
Jim Vann, majority shareholder of Rea Magnet Wire Co. Inc., has donated the manufacturer's former headquarters and surrounding 141/2 acres at 3600 E. Pontiac St. to the Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Department.
The parks department is eyeing the property near International Harvester's iconic brick tower as a future maintenance facility.
But before that can happen, Steve McDaniel, the parks department's director, needs an undetermined amount of money to evaluate and renovate the 75,000-square-foot building. Just as important – or maybe more so – is his plan to ask families living near the site what they want to see at the property.
Vann believes the project could inspire others to help revitalize the neighborhood where generations of Rea workers have lived.
“My hope is to use this donation as a catalyst for attracting other interest from local foundations,” Vann said. “Fort Wayne has proven in the past that when we combine our financial resources with our citizen's give-back spirit, we can do a lot of good.”
One possibility being considered for the property is a series of greenhouses that would grow plants to be placed in city parks and become a destination for school children to learn about gardening. But the only way that project could succeed, the men say, is if the surrounding community supports the still-evolving vision.
'Really big challenge'
Terri Theisen agrees. She's sensitive to the idea of outsiders coming in and telling a community what it needs.
The horticulture and urban agriculture educator with Purdue Extension-Allen County manages the Johnnie Mae Farm at 2518 Winter St.
“It's been a really big challenge because we don't have the community buy-in,” she said during a phone interview.
The urban farm in southeast Fort Wayne opened its produce stand in 2018, part of city officials' effort to revitalize the Renaissance Pointe neighborhood. Experts saw a food desert, where residents didn't have easy access to nutritious fresh food, so they created an urban farm without consulting residents, Theisen said.
Many of the neighborhood's residents are single mothers who are busy raising children and “working their butts off” at minimum-wage jobs, she said.
“A lot of these people just don't have time to grow their own food,” she said.
During discussions with neighbors, Theisen never heard anyone say their priority was access to fresh food. Instead, she said, residents talked about wanting a safe community with places their children could play and spend time with friends.
Johnnie Mae Farm has responded by offering various youth activities in a safe environment. The staff also teaches kids about honeybees, recycling, birding, plants, food, health, nutrition, and gardening.
Mike Connolly, Vann's son-in-law and point person for the Rea property donation, has been in conversation with McDaniel for about 15 months.
The Pontiac Street site had to undergo environmental testing and get a clean bill of health before parks officials and Fort Wayne City Council would officially accept the gift on April 12. Parks officials also reviewed priorities for their inventory of 87 parks on 2,800 acres.
McDaniel realized his department's two maintenance operations will need a new home within the next few years. The facility in Lawton Park near downtown will likely be displaced in favor of future riverfront development, he said. And the maintenance building in Franke Park stands in the way of creating a more attractive entrance to that park.
Preliminary studies show the former Rea building could hold the combined operation, which includes a fleet of trucks, trailers and mowers. McDaniel plans to bring in architects and engineers to evaluate what upgrades might be necessary to make the building fully functional for its proposed uses. That process could take anywhere from one to 10 years, he estimated.
The property's outdoor fenced area would be suitable for the piles of wood chips and stacks of logs the parks department generates when it removes trees, McDaniel said.
The remaining land could house greenhouses, replacing the ones now in Lawton Park, where staff gardeners germinate seeds and grow the 80,000 plants that are transferred to the city's parks each year, he said.
The greenhouses also grow plants given to students in kindergarten through fourth grade at the end of each school year. The children are asked to care for the plants over the summer and return them for a blue ribbon show when they return in the fall. McDaniel would like to continue educational programs in the new location.
All that, he said, depends on gaining community support.
“We don't want to just say, 'We're going to do this and hope it works for you,'” McDaniel said. “We want to be good neighbors.”
Connolly expressed deep respect for McDaniels and his staff.
“We have put the property in very capable hands,” he said, “and really look forward to growing our partnership.”
'The right thing'
Relocating the park's maintenance operation would bring about 80 workers to the Harvester neighborhood every workday, creating new customers for nearby restaurants and other businesses.
Vann, who now lives in Denver with his wife, Lee, hopes other land owners in the neighborhood will find more productive uses for their holdings, too.
“The southeast side was the cradle of manufacturing for Fort Wayne and was the economic engine for our city's growth and prosperity,” he said. “Repurposing some of those assets is timely and the right thing to do.”
The Pontiac Street facility sat empty for about six years.
After Rea Magnet Wire acquired the former Phelps Dodge magnet wire operation, the company consolidated production into the newer, larger facility at 4300 New Haven Ave. In 2015, the company moved its headquarters operation to 3200 Coliseum Blvd. E.
Vann said he hopes to eventually move the headquarters into the New Haven Avenue building, putting the entire local workforce under one roof. Rea employs more than 750 in North America, including about 250 in Fort Wayne.
The company operates production facilities in Fort Wayne, Lafayette, Connecticut, Virginia and Mexico. Rea also has significant joint venture operations in China.
Although the company received several inquiries from people interested in buying the Pontiac Street property, Vann preferred to donate it to the parks department.
Although Connolly has contacted three assessors, none has yet been able to fit the property into his busy schedule.
The Allen County assessor's office has valued 3600 E. Pontiac St. at $219,600.
The gift wasn't Vann's first to the parks department. In 2002, Vann donated a 5.5-acre parcel for what is now Rea Park on the north side of Pontiac.
Rea Magnet Wire's mission statement includes the following: “Rea will be socially responsible and will endeavor to improve quality of life in the communities in which we operate.”
In addition to the property, the Vann Family Foundation has committed $50,000 for Harvester Community outreach educational programs that will be developed by the parks department.
“The most important thing is to match our funding to the needs of the immediate community,” Vann said. “Building a strong community and improving the quality of life is front of mind for us.”

"Our business is about 90 percent military," he said. "This is a military town. It is going to affect us all. When there's a cut, people are scared to spend. I've yet to speak to anybody who thinks this is a good idea."
In Wichita Falls, Texas, beauty salon owner Angela Ward expects her customers from nearby Sheppard Air Force Base to start cutting back. The facility has about 1,200 civilian workers.
She already offers a 15 percent military discount and offers a $10 men's haircut each Tuesday. But Ward said she can't afford to lower prices further, although she knows folks will go without or cut back on luxury items and services first during tough economic times.
"They will stop coming in as much or won't have as much done at the salon in one visit," said Ward, the owner of Crazy Beautiful Salon. "And moms tell us, 'Take it shorter' for their boys because they can't afford to have it cut as often."
In addition to the employee furloughs, Pentagon officials are also weighing cuts to military contracts, training, construction and maintenance.
Alabama's Fort Rucker is the Army's primary base for training helicopter pilots. With 5,850 military personnel and another 6,328 contractors, the massive base is the economic hub for three cities outside its gates: Enterprise, Daleville and Ozark.
Susy Guzman said she already is seeing the effects of budget uncertainty reflected in fewer diners at Brasas Brazil, her family restaurant in Enterprise. The business is popular with military contractors who work as flight instructors, helicopter mechanics, maintenance workers and administrators.
"You can tell people are being cautious because there is uncertainty, they are wondering if their wallets are going to be affected," Guzman said. "It will be a snowball effect here ... first the smaller businesses, like restaurants, but then it just grows."

A controversial experiment at Fermilab designed to hunt for signs that our universe may really be a hologram has failed to find the evidence it was seeking, the laboratory has announced.
Last year, a massive, 17-ton, 52-foot wide electromagnet was successfully shipped from Long Island to Illinois. This week, it hit another milestone: It was successfully chilled to negative 450 Fahrenheit temps after 10 years’ inactivity, proving it’s ready to solve a whole new decade’s physics mysteries.
The Tevatron collider—the world’s second most powerful particle accelerator—was shut down in 2011. Now, from beyond the grave, it’s revealing properties of the Higgs boson.
It may not possess the sense of overwhelming grandeur that CERN can muster, but Fermilab's new 500-mile long neutrino experiment is just as ambitious. Leveraging the most powerful accelerator-based neutrino experiment ever built in the United States, researchers hope to unravel subatomic secrets and, through them,…
Although it sounds entirely like something dreamed up in a smoke-filled dorm room, whether the entire universe is hologram is a very serious question—a question that gets at the heart of a fundamental problem in physics. A new experiment starting up at Fermilab just might hold the answer.
The Department of Energy's Fermilab is building a gargantuan detector to examine uncharged subatomic neutrinos that can blast through the earth unimpeded. The 14,000-ton detector in Minnesota will capture neutrinos shot from a cannon over 500 miles away. Watch how they build a huge catcher's mitt for subatomic…
Given how rarely neutrinos interact with other elementary particles, they're notoriously difficult to study and consequently, our understanding of these electrically neutral subatomic entities remains rather sketchy. However, the Department of Energy's famed Fermilab in Batavia, IL aims to unlock these particles'…
Just because Fermilab shut off its famous Tevartron back in 2011 doesn't mean the entire facility closed down with it. In fact, the Chicago-area physics lab is embarking on an auspicious plan to develop some of the world's most powerful proton beam technology by the end of the decade. But first, researchers have to…
The Tevatron shut down yesterday. Before its duties were taken up by the the Large Hadron Collider, it accelerated highly charged particles through 4 miles of electromagnetic coil and vacuum tubes to discover the secrets of the universe. How do you turn a beast like that off?
Researchers at Fermilab, who run the Tevatron particle accelerator, say they've discovered a new particle "anomaly," leading people to think they may have uncovered a new elementary particle or new force of nature. But those working on the project are playing it safe, merely stating that the data is interesting.
Dark energy Peeping Toms rejoice, because Fermilab has created the gadget to catch it: A $35 million, car-sized digital camera, with 74 CCD sensors in it. It will take 570-megapixel photos of the Universe.
While we doubt the loud sex is the real reason for CERN's LHC-related woes, we are certain of one thing this morning: The "world-ending" LHC (citation: ill-informed ignoramuses) LHC will restart at half-strength in November.

Despite slumping album sales and a murky industry, Warner Music Group remains a hot commodity. The company, which is considered the third largest record label in the industry, has been sold to Russian oil tycoon Len Blavatnik. According to the Los Angeles Times, Blavatnik’s company, Access Industries, purchased the Warner Music Group Corp for $3.3 billion in cash.
Blavatnik, who served as a Warner board member between 2004 and 2008, edged out more than a dozen other bidders including Sony Music Group and Live Nation Entertainment. Forbes reports that Blavatnik is expected to lead the label’s operations.
Warner Music Group is made up of Atlantic Records, Warner Bros. Records, Rhino Entertainment, and a number of independent and international labels. Their artists include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Metallica, R.E.M., and Muse, among others.
Blavatnik and Access Industries are also said to have interest in purchasing another one of the industry’s major labels, EMI, which is expected to be sold later this year. If successful, Warner Bros. and EMI would be merged to form the world’s largest music company.

If you have Colitis and want to treat it naturally, there are many options available to you. From supplements like prebiotics and probiotics to discovering healthy ways to eat, natural remedies for colitis have often proven effective, and they’re also easy on the body.
Many people turn to natural colitis treatments as their sole way of treating their conditions. Others opt for natural treatments as a compliment to medicines that their doctors have prescribed for them.
Whichever way you decide to go for your individual Colitis treatment, we’re confident that you’ll find you feel better overall when you turn to some of the following natural colitis treatments.
Cutting Refined Carbs
One of the easiest natural treatments for Colitis is a simple cutting out of refined carbohydrates from your diet. Refined carbs, such as white breads, white sugar, and foods made with white flours, can cause problems in the gut like a pH level that’s too high. Cut down on refined carbohydrates and replace them with complex carbs that are good for you, such as whole grain breads, better sweetener choices like agave or maple syrup, and whole grain flours.
As you treat your Colitis condition naturally, you’ll want to keep a food and symptoms journal so that you can track any foods that may be acting as allergens for you and aggravating your get. Some of the most common allergens are dairy foods like butter, milk, cheese, and ice cream, as well as eggs and GMO corn.
Eat Fiber-Rich Foods
Fiber-rich plant foods like fruits, veggies, nuts, whole grain breads, and whole grain cereals keep things moving properly in the bowels. Therefore, you should opt for a lot of these foods when you’re looking for a natural treatment for Colitis.
In addition to these natural treatments, you can take a natural supplement like a prebiotic or probiotic, drink lots of water for good digestion, and choose only plant-based proteins. Plants that are high in protein include legumes, whole grains, seeds like quinoa, nuts, and even certain fruits and vegetables.

Because of how life altering and devastating the condition can be, HIV testing is extremely important both in terms of getting the treatment you need quickly, and in terms of making sure that the disease is not inadvertently transmitted, whether by sexual contact or some other exchange of bodily fluids (e.g. By suprise I received a call from my doctor saying I tested positive with hsv 2 (1. Background: First episode genital herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections can be classified into three groups, primary genital herpes (no previous exposure to HSV), non-primary first episode (IgG antibody to HSV of the non-presenting type), and first episode with pre-existing IgG HSV antibodies. Does that happen? Genital herpes: The severity and frequency of the disease and the recurrence rate depend on numerous factors, including viral type, prior immunity to autologous or heterologous virus, gender, and immune status of the host. By suprise I received a call from my doctor saying I tested positive with hsv 2 (1.
This is the test you want. One study evaluating nucleic acid amplification tests of self-collected vulval-introital specimens, first void urine samples and clinician-collected cervical samples found the self-collected swabs and urine specimens to be acceptable alternatives to cervical sampling.

Hence, a positive result on ELISA that is confirmed by Western Blot Tests, IFA or RIPA usually means (with greater than 99. 1). 2009).
With that said, I’d guess there is a very low probability that you have herpes. How soon can you get a blood test to see if you are caring the virus? Therefore for someone like you who already knows he/she has HSV1 and is trying to find out about HSV2, this test is useless. I did get tested for HIV and it came back negative but they insisted I come back in three months for re testing and I am scared. Genital herpes is spread by skin-to-skin contact with someone who already has the virus, including contact with infected skin during sex. In this blog post, I summarize the results of the ABVIC analysis prior to its formal publication, because I think this news is too important for the potentially millions of people who have been told by a doctor or nurse over the past 20 years that they “might have HSV-2,” based on what are scientifically flimsy test results (i.e., HerpeSelect Index Values between 1 and 5). DBS 1:2 dilution yielded 116 (55.2%) reactive and 94 (44.8%) non-reactive results.
That means even when a person does not show any symptoms, he/she is still shedding the virus and can infect someone else.

Especially since its been almost 3 months since possible exposure. Bottom line: You don’t have HSV-2 or genital herpes. If your positive IgG test result was due to HSV-2 as opposed to being falsely positive, the Biokit would have been positive. Hopefully your outbreaks end for good so that you may live a normla life.

Adler History Museum description and photos - Russia - South: Adler. Detailed information about the attraction. Description, photos and a map showing the nearest significant objects.
Photo and description
The Adler History Museum is located near the Bestuzhev Park, in the office building of the Caucasian Biosphere Reserve and occupies several rooms. The total area of the museum is only 200 sq. m, which includes five halls, three offices and a storage. There are more than 15 thousand exhibits in the museum's funds. The museum tells about the history of Adler, from ancient times to the present.
The museum began its history in the 50s. XX century, when I.K. Nedolya started collecting exhibits to create a museum. Initially, the house of I.K. Nedolya, but after his death, all exhibits were moved to a modern building. The building, which today houses the Adler History Museum, was erected in 1913. At that time there was a ready-to-wear shop. Today the building is a valuable cultural object, a repository of important and interesting information for the history of this region.
The museum is constantly working on the study of the Adler region, the found historical references are processed, all of them are used by the museum staff during excursions for local residents and guests of the city.
The museum has three halls. In the first hall - the archeological one - you can learn in more detail about the entire history of the Adler region, starting from prehistoric times. The second hall will acquaint its visitors with the history of the area from the beginning of the 19th century. until the arrival of Soviet power. The exhibits in this room will tell about local tribes, the Caucasian War, as well as the settlement of Ukrainians, Belarusians, Russians, Armenians and Georgians in local lands. Here you can see documents, photographs, different schemes, household items and clothing.
The third hall of the museum is dedicated to the times of the formation of the Soviet Union. The exhibits in this hall tell about the revolution, the civil war, about the development of the Adler region before the start of the Great Patriotic War. The fourth hall of the museum tells about the difficult war times. It contains military maps, weapons, photographs, clothing and medical instruments. And the last, fifth room tells its guests about the post-war period.
Between the halls there is a souvenir shop where everyone can buy souvenirs or books.

Flyers fans got quite the scare yesterday when the club announced that captain Claude Giroux had undergone finger surgery to repair tendon damage that he’d suffered while playing golf Thursday in Ottawa.
According to the team’s statement, Giroux’s golf club “shattered and splintered into his index finger. Although there were no broken bones, there was some damage to his extensor tendons in his finger. He is expected to have a full recovery in 5-6 weeks.”
In an interview with the Daily News, Giroux explained exactly what happened.
“It was just a freak thing,” he said. “I was taking a swing and my club hit a little behind the ball. The shaft of the club shattered, but my hand kept going on the swing and the shattered part went right into my finger.”
The 25-year-old went on to say the injury is “more frustrating than you even know,” as he believed his offseason training was going extremely well.

Chris Brown has reportedly given Rihanna an emerald ring to represent their time apart.
The two stars have courted controversy recently as they have seemingly rekindled their romance, after splitting in 2009 when Chris assaulted her.
He recently joined her on her yachting holiday and it’s been claimed he presented her with a special gift to show his commitment.
“It was apparently really intense and emotional,” a source told UK Grazia magazine. “There was certainly kissing and some tears from Rihanna. By the end, Chris presented her with a ring set with three emeralds: one for each year they’d been apart. Rihanna is so happy, it’s what she’s wanted for a long time. It’s her dream.”
Although neither has confirmed their romance is back on, it’s thought Rihanna and Chris send each other messages on Twitter.
She is thought to use the tag ‘1love’ when she is referring to her former beau.
“Neither of them cares who sees,” an insider said. “They can’t seem to stay away from each other.”

Bone Broth: The New Nutrient-Dense Beauty Booster
I was chuckling when I read that the latest food fad in US is drinking bone broth. Apparently, health-conscious New Yorkers are queuing up to buy steaming hot artisan broth in paper cups, complete in Starbucks style, for breakfast! I even saw a tweet that said, “Skip Starbucks—grab a cup of bone broth in the morning this winter. Great for your immune system and achy joints!” And when I looked up how these broth are made, I realized that they’re not that different from the soups that I regularly make for my family. Or the chicken stock that I make weekly.
So what exactly constitutes a bone broth?”
By virtue of the name, bone broth is typically made by simmering a pot of animal bones—pork bones, chicken bones or beef bones—with vegetables, herbs and spices for many hours. The bones may contain some meat. Some sources even suggest roasting the bones to bring out the flavor prior to simmering them.
Simmer for up to 36 hours
Simmering hours are said to be in excess of 24 hours and up to 36 hours but I’ve also read that anything from 8 hours onwards on a slow cooker still count for bone broth. I suppose it depends on the type of bones used because chicken bones disintegrates much quicker than pork or beef bones.
The idea behind the long cooking time is that the bones will cause the broth to become a mineral and nutrient-dense infusion. At the end of the cooking, the bones become really soft and most probably will crumble when pressed. And the broth will congeal into a gel-like gelatin after cooling.
Now, what’s so great about bone broth that it’s such a rage and considered as the new health elixir?
For starters, I need to let you know that it’s great tasting. Another thing to note is that bone broth is nothing new. It’s been around for ages but it’s only now that it’s been packaged by clever food entrepreneurs for commercial gains.
In fact, bone broth counts as an important source of diet for many Asians. How do you think the Japanese tonkotsu ramen is made? Simmering pork bones for 24 hours! Chinese drink bone broth all the time—just that we drink them in bowls and not in takeaway paper cups. I usually call mine a soup but it’s prepared exactly how you would prepare a bone broth. But I don’t roast the bones and I cook mine in a slow cooker for something like 13 to 15 hours and I eat the food in the broth, along with drinking the broth.
Benefits of drinking bone broth
Coming back to the earlier question, what are the benefits of drinking bone broth? Well, let’s see:
- It is an excellent source of minerals and amino acids, and is known to boost the immune system and improve digestion.
- Its high calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus content make it great for bone and tooth health—great weapon against osteoporosis.
- The glucosamine and chondroitin help to reduce joint pain, ease arthritis and inflammation.
- It can heal the gut as the gelatin in bone broth protects and heals the mucosal lining of the digestive tract and helps aid in the digestion of nutrients.
- The collagen and gelatin in bone broth help to support healthy joints, hair, skin, and nail growth.
- It helps eliminate cellulite as it supports smooth connective tissues.
I’ve drank enough broth to tell you that all the benefits are real. I believe that all the years of drinking soup made by my mom from pork bones, chicken bones and duck bones have kept me in the pink of health. I also think they contributed to a healthier skin tone. More importantly, they developed my tastebuds and interest to make good soups for my family.
How I make my bone broth
I have a number of soup recipes and they revolve around using chicken bones (even chicken feet) or pork bones. However, making broth with bones alone isn’t as tasty as making broth with bones and some meat so I like to add pork ribs.
Two weeks ago, I showed you how I prepare my chicken stock in my slow cooker. I call it stock only because it doesn’t come with any seasoning as it’s meant to be used in cooking other dishes or other soups.
As you can see, I use an entire chicken. Sometimes, I use chopped up chicken parts or just chicken thighs. I like using chicken over pork but some soups I make really taste better with pork ribs and pork bones. Like Bak Kut Teh. Or lotus root soup. But I try to limit our intake of pork to just once a week if possible.
Other favorite soups made in bone broth style but not shown here include: chicken with white fungus, chicken feet with black bean, ABC vegetable soup and corn and carrot soup. But these days, I prepare mostly herbal soups using ready packed Chinese herbs (I got mine from Hock Hua) because they are less time consuming to prepare but are highly nutritious.
- One whole free range (kampong) chicken
- One cut carrot
- One yellow onion
- A few slices of ginger
- Some dried scallops (optional)
- Wash the chicken and dip it in a pot of boiling water for about 5 minutes.
- Remove and put chicken in a slow cooker.
- Fill the cooker with water that completely covers the whole chicken.
- Drop in the other ingredients and cover.
- Switch the pot to auto and let chicken simmer in pot for 10 to 12 hours.
- Drain the broth and serve in bowl.
Prices and cost
I read that a cup of bone broth in US cost somewhere between US$4 and US$9. In Singapore, you can get a sizable bowl for around US$5 at a food court. Those with better ingredients naturally cost more. But one thing to highlight is that the ingredients used in the bone broth in US are organic. Hence, that might account for the higher cost.
“How about ready made chicken broth available at the supermarket?”
I don’t purchase them anymore. I used to buy them out of convenience as they can be used to cook dishes. But really, they aren’t as healthy as they might have included a high amount of sodium and preservatives. The exception might be the organic chicken stock but I think they serve better as a stock for preparing dishes.
So how much do real bone broth cost in Singapore?
Chicken bone broth are costlier to make but they taste awesome. A free range (kampong) chicken cost roughly around US$6.50 (S$8) while a pack of pork bones with a pack of pork ribs cost around US$5 (S$6) thereabout. I have no idea about beef bones because I don’t use them but they should cost more than pork bones. Anyway, making your own bone broth is definitely cheaper because you can easily get three to four servings (easily 10 cups!) each time.
Oh, you can definitely make bone broth out of mutton bones too but over here, they’re not so easily available as the other types of animal bones. I’ll prefer to drink bone marrow mutton soup bought from the stall.
So how many of you like drinking bone broth or soups made with such broth? You reckon they help you in any aspect? And if you’re in US, do share with us about this bone broth fad. Are you into it too?

Happy Gas Inhalation Sedation Agent
At North Sydney dentistry we recognise that a trip to the dentist can be a daunting and stressful experience for some. So we offer our patients the choice of receiving happy gas. Happy gas as it is more commonly known as is safe treatments that relaxes patients and allows them to travel home after just a short recover period.
Your first time using Happy Gas?
Happy gas is like any other medication. Whilst it is a safe and commonly used sedation technique in many medical practices, everybody produces a slightly different reaction. This is why if you have not used happy gas before, we recommend you come in for an initial consultation, our experienced dentists can then test your body’s reaction to the medication before your dental treatment. If you have previously experience happy gas prior to your appointment with us and are comfortable receiving the sedation then we will professionally administer the happy gas during your first treatment with us. Your comfort and safety means a great deal to our entire dental staff. If you have further questions about our happy gas treatment one of our friendly staff will be happy to speak with you and answer any questions you may have.
What are the costs involved?
We offer happy gas at an affordable cost. The charge is minimal and is simply to cover the cost of gas used and administration. It represents a small portion of your treatment invoice and if you believe you are an anxious patient it may be a small price to pay for your comfort and peace of mind.

Schools and preschools in South Australia’s Barossa Valley region will reopen as fears of a coronavirus cluster ease.
The region’s educational facilities were shut down following a spate of cases in early April.
The Department of Education says so long as there are no new cases between now and then, the region’s schools will reopen next Wednesday.
Restrictions on cellar doors in the region have also been eased after a cluster of COVID-19 cases prompted a shut down of the state’s wineries.
Tastings or the consumption of any products or produce on-site will remain prohibited but takeaway sales will now be allowed, provided social distancing measures are complied with.
“We see this as a slight relaxation of the imposition so these businesses can continue to trade... as much as possible in the current circumstances,” SA Police Commissioner Grant Stevens said.
All SA schools will return at the beginning of Term 2, with the chief public health officer urging parents not to keep their children at home.

Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs)
Portable electronic devices have become a significant part of most people’s lives and there is increased demand for people to be in constant contact with their portable electronic devices for work, entertainment or communication.
Some airlines are able to determine that non-transmitting portable electronic devices can be safely used during critical phases of flight on some of their modern aircraft. However other aircraft, particularly older models, will still require that portable electronic devices are turned off during critical phases of flight.
Given that not all aircraft are the same, it is particularly important that passengers follow crew instructions and the CAA will consider strong enforcement action against passengers who do not comply with instructions regarding the use of portable electronic devices.
Airlines can also apply to the Civil Aviation Authority to allow transmitting portable electronic devices on aircraft, if they can determine that this can occur without causing interference with the avionic and navigational equipment.
To learn more about the CAA approach to the regulation of portable electronic devices, see:


US resettles 60,000 Bhutanese refugees from Nepal
Kathmandu: As many as 60,000 Bhutanese refugees have been resettled in the US from Nepal where they had taken refuge in the 1990s after being forced out of their country.
On September 04, the 60,000th Bhutanese refugee, departed from Nepal to USA. The 28-year-old woman will start a new life in Columbus, Ohia, with her husband and young daughter, said a statement from the US embassy here.
The US, in close coordination with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), began resettling Bhutanese refugees residing in eastern Nepal in 2007.
Besides the US, which has accepted 60,000 refugees, some 11,000 have already settled in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, New Zealand, and the UK, as part of the third country resettlement programme initiated in 2007 in association with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
"The US is committed to considering for resettlement as many Bhutanese refugees as express interest," said the US embassy.
Initially, the US government had expressed interest to accept a maximum of 60,000 Bhutanese refugees.
Over 100,000 Nepali-speaking Bhutanese refugees have been residing in various camps of eastern Nepal since early 1990s after the Bhutan government introduced the `One Nation One People` policy to resurrect the Bhutanese cultural identity.
After many rounds of bilateral talks held between Nepal and Bhutan failed to repatriate even a single Bhutanese refugee, Nepal government agreed to resettle them in third countries at the initiative of the UNHCR.

US women's curling concedes to Brits after record seven-point end
The United States women's curling team conceded to Great Britain on Tuesday, down 12-3 after six ends. That came after an Olympic-record seven-point end for the Brits.
The United States women's curling team has had better days than Tuesday. With so many games to get in during round-robin play, the US had two matches, starting early in the morning against the host Russians and finishing up against Great Britain.
In the first game the USA stayed closed but fell to the Russians by a final score of 9-7. The second game didn't go nearly as well.
The US women conceded the match after only six of 10 ends. That's because they were down by a score of 12-3 thanks to a seven-point end in the fourth. In case you were wondering, yes, that's an Olympic record score for one end.
For the uninitiated, the maximum score you can get in one end -- which is like an inning in baseball -- is eight. Each team throws eight stones in an end and when all stones have been thrown, whichever team has a stone closest to the center, or the button, and is inside the rings, or the house, earns a point. If you have two closer than an opponent stone, you get two points and so on.
So to get seven is incredibly rare at the international level. A lot has to go right for the team scoring and a lot has to go wrong for the team on the other end. That's what happened to the US.
If you wanted to know what, exactly, a seven-point end looks like, here you go, courtesy of Hit the Broom.
Two ends later the Brits scored three points and at that point the Americans conceded for the 12-3 final. The final numbers didn't look good as you could guess. Skip Erika Brown shot just 46 percent in the game, well below British skip Eve Muirhead's 79 percent.
It's not the first time a team has conceded after six ends -- the earliest a team can -- in the Olympics. In 2010 Denmark conceded victory to China while trailing 11-1 after six.
The good news for the American team is they get to put this behind them and move on immediately. They are scheduled to face China on Wednesday.

AMD braces for financial mayhem from ATI acquisition

A former Houston-based businessman has been indicted for funneling money from the government of Azerbaijan to pay for a foreign trip taken by members of Congress and their staff.
Kemal Oksuz, 48, allegedly lied on disclosure forms filed with the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Ethics both before and after he helped use foreign money to illegally fund a congressional trip to Azerbaijan, according to the indictment unsealed Monday.
Oksuz falsely claimed that a nonprofit he ran out of a Galleria office tower, the Turquoise Council of Americans and Eurasians, had not accepted funding from “any outside source to pay for congressional travel to an energy conference held in Baku, Azerbaijan in May 2013,” according to the indictment and related government ethics probes.
That 2013 trip was the subject of a formal investigation by the House Ethics Committee after the Houston Chronicle reported there were questions about whether the Azeri national oil company had illegally paid for lawmaker travel to Baku.
The conference, organized in part by Oksuz, was attended by 10 members of Congress — including four from Texas — and 35 congressional staffers. They received all-expense-paid trips from various nonprofits, including the Turquoise Council, the Chronicle reported in 2014.
Oksuz knowingly orchestrated a scheme to illegally funnel money to congressional travel from the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic, or SOCAR, according to a five-count indictment unsealed in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.
Oksuz is charged with devising a scheme to falsify, conceal and cover up facts from the House Ethics Committee, which investigated the foreign trip. He’s also charged with four counts of making false statements to Congress, according to the federal indictment and a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
Several members of Congress returned gifts or money they received for the Baku trip after the House Ethics Committee’s probe determined that funding for their hotel, airfare and gifts likely came from a foreign government in violation of house rules. The Texas members of Congress who attended the Baku conference have said they had believed their trips were legally funded by the Turquoise Council.
Oksuz is being held in Armenia, where he was arrested several weeks ago on a U.S. warrant. Justice Department officials are seeking his extradition.

A day doesn’t go by with a new report that suggests the internet is rife with hackers and cyber criminals out to steal your identity, money or disable your computer.
Internet users are becoming more savvy to the risks of viruses and malicious attacks, simply because they are on the rise, and the attack mechanisms or threat vectors are proliferating into mobile devices and social networks.
Kaspersky Lab’s research and analysis team have reported that there are 30,000 new threats per day, and there are 2.9 million malware signatures in existence. That is, there are nearly three million viruses that have been developed for malicious intent. Companies such as Kaspersky store malicious software samples in their databases as part of a pro-active systems that block viruses before they can attack your computer.
Reports of cybercrime are hard to quantify, and the thieves often go un-punished. But they are certainly making money from the online scams. One cyber criminal arrested in Moscow was caught driving a late model BMW. It’s hard to quantify the size of profits made in the illegal internet underworld, because organisations such as banks don’t often report the size of their losses from Internet scams.
The numbers are rising. In 2008, there were 275,000 reports of cybercrime in the US alone, up from 207,000 in previous year. Estimated losses last year in the US amounted to US$265 million.
The cyber criminals are not only developing new algorithms and more sophisticated tricks – they are also increasing their computing power. By deploying software robots that run automatically, the bad guys can set up malicious software attacks that hit computer networks continuously and with venom.
Botnets can take control of your computer, undertake drive-by download attacks by exploiting web browser vulnerabilities, and use worms, Trojan viruses and backdoor means to invade and damage computer networks. In addition, today’s botnets have more computing power than the largest civilian supercomputer.
The most famous of the botnet attacks is the Conficker or Kido worm, which was created via a powerful botnet of infected machines. Conficker exploited a patch in the Microsoft operating system and was initially spread via local networks and removable storage and ended up infecting millions of computers around the world.
The next frontier for the online crooks is the mobile device, online social networks, and gaming platforms. Our Kaspersky team have identified 17,000 new gaming Trojans while mobile malware is on the rise in Asia. The Kaspersky Lab research team, in its latest report, discovered that mobile malware is the fastest growing form of malicious software, with cyber crooks spotting a big opportunity to hack the smartphone market for monetary gain. Competition is actually increasing among the online criminals to get into this market, and the number of threats has doubled in the last three years.
The main form of attack on the mobile user has been to send expensive SMS messages from the phone, to premium calling numbers, without the user’s knowledge. Most SMS viruses, or Trojans, are disguised as applications offering free SMS service or web access, or as adult content.
The bad guys are also continually seeking to get inside your computer via applications such as Adobe that are frequently used, putting the onus on users to update their systems with new security patches.
Needless to say, Kaspersky Lab continues to launch new products aimed at keeping consumers and businesses safe from the underground hackers and criminals.
They include new mobile software security offerings, and our new 2010 Internet Security product suite includes a Safe Run feature that allows users to browse, open, or run any email attachment, or unknown program with confidence that no harm will be done to their computer. In effect, the user can run any application in a completely protected virtual environment that is walled-off from the computer’s applications and machine settings.
Software programs aimed at shutting down and limiting the cyber crooks will become even more advanced and Kaspersky Lab aims to be at the forefront of that innovation.

We spent Father's Day at the Bronx Zoo - one of my most favorite places. Luckily, we arrived nice and early so were able to see lots of the animals moving about before the heat of the day set in. Ava had a blast, seeing the animals and playing with her cousins. Roy shot a full roll of film for me for future illustrations... there will be lots more to follow after the Elephant.

Like so many students at this school, I don’t live at home. I don’t even live in my home country, not even on the same continent. So many people at this school took the risk of moving across the globe, to learn english and live a life on this beautiful hill with rosy sunsets and a breathtaking night sky. And I wouldn’t want it any other way.
When I first came here I was 13, and to be honest, my English was pretty miserable. I still recall the moment I got on the plane to LAX, and a flight attendant tried talking to me in English. I remember how I barely understood her and froze, and thought to myself, “Holy hell, I can’t do this!”.
As the days passed, I became more and more anxious about going to school where everything is in a language I hardly know. But the second the first OVS student talked to me, it was all gone. Well, most of it. I realized that I, by far, was not the only international student, and that everyone here was willing to help me feel as much at home as possible.
I remember always looking over to my brother, seeing him talk to other students already. And then there was me, sitting in the corner with my beloved social anxiety. I imagined the next year to be like one of these movies, where the awkward new kid doesn’t find any friends. Oh, how wrong I was!
I can’t express how thankful I am for everyone here. For my roommate, who helped me with literally anything, no matter if it was about a word I didn’t understand, or where to find my classrooms, and who supplied me with snacks and BuzzFeed quizzes and “Mean Girls.” For all my friends and classmates who would never let me feel left out. And for all the teachers and faculty who do their best every single day to make this community work.
OVS, as cliché as this might sound, has helped me grow so much over the past years. I learned that change can be good, I learned how to socialize in an environment where I barely know anyone, I learned how to express myself without feeling judged by every human being around me. One of the things I learned, however, that I consider one of the most important ones, is that I learned how to write. I’m not a very good writer, don’t get me wrong. But before I came here the thought of me writing in a somewhat nice manner has never even occurred to me, let alone in a different language.
OVS has taught me so much. I know it is just a school, and it surely isn’t perfect. But it was this intimidating change that was needed for me, and so many other people here, to make high school a better memory than what it would have been without this place.

While many intersections between 3D printing and science research has focused on either exploring new materials or making something from the shape/structural qualities, the Cronin Group at the University of Glasgow have been doing very interesting things with 3D printed objects as containers — producing reaction vessels to seal in and incubate chemical processes at a crucial moment, for later extraction. The results could replace much more expensive tools and processes to permit high-yield/low-volume production of chemical products that would otherwise be unobtainable for some researchers and lab environments. (For a few details about the fascinating work of chemistry innovator Lee Cronins and the Cronin Group, check out the TEDx video below as well!)
Innovative 3D Printed Solution Pint-sized, High-Yield Chemical Reaction Vessels, featured this past week in RSC Chemistry World. Via 3DPrinterWorld.
Performing hot chemistry in plastic reaction vessels may sound perverse, but UK researchers have shown that it is possible to carry out a range of hydrothermal chemical syntheses in sealed reactors made from 3D printed polypropylene.
The approach enables sealed lab-scale reactors of, for example, 1ml or 2 ml capacity to be printed, with the possibility to scale up to bigger vessels as required. It also allows the printing of grids of sealed chambers – in the new work a 5×5 array was fabricated – for high-throughput screening of reactants and conditions. Normally, for the type of reaction under (hydrothermal synthesis involving heating mixtures at up to 140˚C for many hours) expensive precision-machined stainless steel autoclave bombs are usually needed. The new work could make such experiments far less costly and more accessible to less well-resourced labs.
The work was led by Lee Cronin and Ross Forgan at the University of Glasgow, who had already pioneered the use of 3D printing for creating reactionware of specific geometrical configurations to help control the chemistry within. ‘I wanted to know if we could extend the idea of using 3D printing to make compartments that could tolerate heat,’ says Cronin. ‘What about solvothermal chemistry?’
Using polypropylene, the team first partly printed the vessels. ‘We then pause it in the middle, add the reagents, finish the printing so that the reagents are sealed inside, and put it in the oven,’ Cronin says. After heating at an appropriate temperature and time, the vessel is removed, drilled or cut open and the products removed….
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! We also offer the LulzBot TAZ – Open source 3D Printer and the Printrbot Simple Metal 3D Printer in our store. If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!

Ghana beats Benin
Ghana claimed all three points against Benin in Accra with a 1-0 victory following an early goal from Prince Tagoe. Ghana played host to Benin this evening in the first match of the next phase of African Nations Cup and World Cup qualifying.
The home side were overwhelming favourites going into the match, and despite missing a few key players through injury, the Ghanaians did not disappoint their fans and turned in a good performance to win by a goal to nil. Ghana took a very early lead through Prince Tagoe, scoring in the first minute, as the fans in the Accra Sports Stadium were immediately brought to their feet.
If they believed that this would be a sign of things to come, they were mistaken, as the early goal would be the only time in the game that the ball would bulge the back of the net.
The lone goal was all that was needed in the end however, as the Ghanaians bank three valuable points at home to Benin.
The largely European based squad look likely to turn heads if they qualify for next year's showpiece event in South Africa for a second successive tournament.

CMM-R Oil regeneration systems
The GlobeCore regeneration1 process restores used oils to new like condition. This process makes it possible to fill transformers2 with oil that would previously have required disposal. The oil in the transformer3 can be used without replacement for the entire service life of the transformer.
In the process of oil regeneration, oil degradation products and acidic compounds are removed, the oil becomes clear, oxidation resistance is improved, while gas solubility is reduced.
Regeneration of the oil in a transformer restores used oil to new like condition:
|Moisture content by weight,g/t (ppm) as per IEC 733; ASTM D-1533
|ISO 4406 industrial purity class
|Volumetric gas content % I.A.W.IEC 60599; ASTM D-3612

Purpose: To investigate the effects of topical administration of bunazosin hydrochloride, an alpha-adrenoceptor inhibitor, on the impairment of the ocular circulation caused by intravenous injection of a nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor. Methods: To induce impairment of the ocular circulation in albino rabbits, we injected NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) intravenously. The functional alterations caused by L-NAME were assessed by inspection of the visual evoked potential (VEP). Blood flow in the optic nerve head (ONH) was evaluated using a laser-speckle tissue-circulation analyzer as a normalized blur (NB) value (a quantitative index of blood velocity). Intraocular pressure (IOP) and systemic blood pressure were also measured. Bunazosin hydrochloride (0.01%) was topically administered twice (one hour and just before injection of L-NAME). Modulation by bunazosin hydrochloride of the L-NAME-induced changes in VEPs and ONH blood flow were investigated over a 2-hour period. Results: Intravenous injection of L-NAME (0, 10, 50 mg/kg) reduced VEP amplitude and ONH blood flow in a dose-dependent manner, the maximum effects [seen 60 min after intravenous L-NAME (50 mg/kg)] reducing the level to 68.7±5.4% and 50.3±2.9% of baseline, respectively. Topical administration of 0.01% bunazosin hydrochloride suppressed the reduction in VEP amplitude and preserved ONH blood flow for the entire monitoring period of 2 hours after intravenous injection of L-NAME, the levels of significance being P=0.004 and 0.001, respectively (repeated-measures ANOVA). Bunazosin hydrochloride reduced IOP, but it did not decrease perfusion pressure to the eye significantly (compared to the L-NAME-injected control group). Conclusion: These results suggested that topically applied bunazosin hydrochloride improved the impaired VEP by increasing the ocular circulation. Thus, bunazosin hydrochloride, which is used as an ocular hypotensive drug in Japan, may also be useful for the treatment of ischemic disorders of the retina and optic nerve.

Read the “praise for” page in the beginning of each book. He simply tells you what he himself went through, curraher it’s very action-packed.
Burgett’s books are pretty good, but they are all dreadfully short and need to be combined into one volume. Definitely a must read if you are a WWII buff.
Currahee!: A Screaming Eagle at Normandy
Burgett parachuted into Holland, his second combat jump, as part of Operation Market-Garden, and fought for 72 days behind the German lines.
My library Help Advanced Book Search. Easily one of the most readable memoirs to come out of WW2. You feel screaning you are there in all the confusion an This reads almost as a diary. Paperbackpages. Jan 07, Jeffrey Wood rated it it was amazing. It serves as a useful parallel narrative to the more-known Band of Brothers, covering similar timeframes and battles but without overlapping personnel. He also talks about how they killed several Japanese troops in Japanese uniforms in the fighting around D-day and how Russian troops fighting with the Germans attacked them mounted on horseback in classic cavalry charges.
I’d say it’s quite a book if you care for this genre. If you have seen Band of Brothers and enjoyed it this eqgle a great supplement as it shows some of the rougher edges and interesting t A quick read but a good one.
This book was the greatest book I have ever read I stayed up all night school night reading this book. However, this adds to the feeling of being there because it’s likely that Burgett was so overwhelmed that each battle and town just meshed together to create one big blur. I can’t recommend it highly enough. That they did in fact succeed was a tribute to the individuals who coalesced as small units and took action. Burgett doesn’t even use chapters to separate towns, battles or days.
