ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!?? I know we are more than a month away, but football camp and 7 on 7 season is here. What better way to support our son/brother than to sport his school colors/player's number? These only took a couple of hours using the Rhinestone Wizard, my Cricut and my handy dandy heat press (I'm so glad I have this -- it really speeds up the process). However, you could totally do this project with just a cutter and vinyl.
I used magic templates from The Rhinestone World and then imported the design into design space (for the football designs). I was really afraid that the font for the stadium seat wouldn't cut or weed properly, but it actually turned out easier than I thought - plus since its a grunge type font no would know if a piece was missing. :) Anyway, a super fun way to kick off the "early" football season! As for the wild-card shirt in the photo...I also pressed a track shirt for my hubby that was LOOOONG over due.

Happy 4th of July!
This post will be short and SWEET!
While gorging on pinterest pinning I came across this delicious looking pie. It is a strawberries and cream pie! The fact that it was no bake was also a winner since my stove and grill space were already claimed! The next time I make this one I think I will omit the crust and add less water. It was really light and was a perfect ending to all that BBQ!
Click here for the recipe and I hope your holiday is safe and fun!

It's been a while since I've made a post...sorry! While I have the best of intentions life tends to get in the way. Anyhoo, while outside today I noticed that I had several red tomatoes that needed to be picked and when I came inside of the house realized that my cherry tomatoes needed picking as well (I guess I have been out of it lately)! Since the tomatoes were a bit over-ripe I decided to try out my blender's soup making capabilities.
I originally bought my blender as an alternative to the $500 blenders out there and was pleasantly surprised with the results. While my blender wasn't cheap it was still less than half the cost of the more expensive ones because it was on sale. I got it from HSN because they were running a special on it ($199) instead of paying $400 for it at the local department store in my area. The name of the blender is DASH. You can find more about it by going here. It looks like they are out of stock on their website but HSN seems to always have them in stock.
Anyhoo. I just added some chicken broth at the bottom for more flavor (you actually don't have to add any liquid), tomato, parsley, chives and basil from the garden and a vidalia onion, Ms. Dash onion and herbs, seasoned salt and pepper (from the grocery store). I turned the blender's dial to "soup", pressed start and used the tamper to get things going. Once the blender started doing its thing I put the lid cap in place and walked away until I heard it stop.
When I opened the lid the soup was smoking hot!
I added a little cream and shredded cheese and voila - hot, fresh, soup!
I know many of us are trying to be healthier...I'd love to hear how you are using fresh ingredients and methods of cooking to give your family meals that are good to them and good for them.
Oh and if you are interested here is the YouTube video of the blender in action.

A couple of weeks ago I was making pancake syrup for some really sweet college kids and realized that I didn't have enough brown sugar to make as much as I wanted them to have. I went ahead and gave them partial bottles and promised them a refill once their bottles were empty. In the meantime I started thinking...there has to be a way to make brown sugar from home.
After a few minutes of searching Pinterest I found a recipe from Martha Stewart's website. I decided to give it a try since I was making a sweet potato souffle that afternoon and needed brown sugar for the topping.
The steps were super simple (check out the recipe for exact amounts):
1. You basically take white sugar
2. Pour in molasses
3. Mix until well combined and you have awesome brown sugar!
Here's a photo of the souffle topping where I used the homemade brown sugar (brown sugar, pecans, flour & butter).

It's that time of year again, the annual NAACP Image Awards Viewing Party. I found the perfect color fabric - a nod to the 2015 Pantone color of the year - and a Vogue vintage pattern (originally printed circa 1957) that I liked. I made the dress over three and a half evenings. As you can tell by the title something went wrong...Well, I took two of my children to their well child check ups yesterday afternoon. I noticed my youngest daughter felt a little warm when I picked her up from daycare, but I didn't think much about it because I'm usually cooler than she is. Imagine my surprise when the doctor said "we can't give her any shots today because she two different strains of the flu". Whaaaaat!? I didn't even know that was possible!
So, neededless to say my plans for going out were over, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. There is just something about mommy being there when you don't feel well. She's all tucked into bed and is resting now - which is a beautiful thing.
Here are a few pictures of the pattern and the dress. I will say that the top of this dress was unusually wide so I added pleats to the front and took up the straps to make it fit better. I also omitted the bow. I don't think I'll sew this one again, but it was fun to make! Toodles!

I've been on a T-shirt making kick lately. I think its because it's a craft that almost anyone can do. When my nieces and nephew were visiting we decided to do freezer paper T-shirts. I asked them and my kids what they wanted on their tshirts. I designed the layout in Cricut design space and cut out the freezer paper with my Cricut Explore (remember to put the freezer paper shiny side down on the mat).
For those who don't have an electronic paper cutter you can totally do this project by printing or drawing your design on the dull side of the freezer paper and cutting out the design with an exacto knife. Remember to keep the small pieces that will give your design definition (like the inside circles from letters)
Here's what you'll need to do your own freezer paper shirts:
- Freezer Paper (found near the foil in your local grocery store)
- Electronic paper cutter (like a Cricut) or an exacto knife
- T-shirt or other garment/item of your choice
- Fabric paints (I use the weekly 40% coupon at Hobby Lobby to cut costs here)
- Sponge brushes (found in the craft section of your local discount or craft store)
Once you have your design cut out of the freezer paper just iron the freezer paper to your T-shirt (no steam), shiny side DOWN - if you mess this part up you'll ruin your iron (ask me how I know)!
After you have the freezer paper completely ironed down, put a piece of heavy cardboard inside of the shirt so that no paint bleeds through on the back of the shirt.
Now you can use a sponge brush and T-shirt paint to color in the stencil. One tip here, don't try to do a really heavy coat. It's better to do light coats on top of each other (no need to dry between coats) so that you don't have unevenly painted areas.
Lay the T-shirt aside to dry for a few hours. When the paint is dry to the touch pull off the stencil (don't forget to remove the little pieces too). As long as the shirt is dry to the touch it is ready to wear. However, you shouldn't wash it for at least 48 hours (or for whatever length of time is listed on the fabric paint package). When you do wash it turn it inside out and wash with like colors.
I hope you have as much fun making your shirts as we did! Toodles!

To say that I L.O.V.E. bread is putting it mildly. When I was little my dad worked for a national bread company so bread along with other treats were always around the house. I can remember calling my dad at work one day when my older brother was babysitting me to tell him that my brother wouldn't let me have any more bread (I had already had nearly half a loaf by myself). My dad asked me to put my brother on the phone. He told my brother, "its just bread, let her have it". Those words were music to my ears as I polished off a few more slices that day. My love of bread is still strong, but so is my desire to be able to fit into my clothes so I have to be mindful of my portions. :) Anyhoo, I've provided the link to the recipe right after the photos of the rolls I made tonight for dinner. Why go through the trouble?...because there are some days when only homemade will do!
The formed rolls resting for 10 minutes before baking.

Its been a while so I figured I'd better catch you all up on what's been going on in my world! I made quite a few handmade gifts, but in my haste I forgot to take pictures of many of them! Arrggh! However, I did take pictures of these super cute bags that I made for my secret santa and for my child's teacher. They were both super easy to make with my Cricut Explore (it took me about 20 minutes to make both bags)!
The first bag was made by using an existing graphic from the Cricut subscription library and then using a rectangle and the slice feature to get rid of the words and graphics I didn't want and then typing in the new words and inserting a basketball. I L.O.V.E. the slice feature!
The second bag was made by selecting a graphic from the library, typing the teacher's name, overlapping the two just a little and then welding the graphic andd the letters together. It sounds complicated, but it is literally just a few clicks to make this happen.
Thanks for checking out my post!

So...my sweet husband got me the new Cricut Explore for my birthday. We made a deal that I would do some football shirts for him. When I originally priced custom t-shirts they started at $20. I knew that with my new gift I could make them for less than that. Using my PC, the Explore and black, gold and white heat transfer vinyl I was able to design, cut and iron the design onto a polo.
While I still have some learning to do I think my first try went really well. I wasn't sure if my iron would get hot enough, but it actually got too hot so now I know that I can lower the heat next time. I also tried my hand at converting a jpeg file to a svg file so that I could use a custom design. It wasn't very difficult, but I think I am going to try to find a cleaner graphic (I pulled it from a google image search so the quality wasn't that great). I can't wait to do shirts for me and the kids. When I do I'll share those as well.

Gone are the days when people went to theatres only seeking entertainment. The Millenials now demand quality content, a storyline that makes sense, actors that can actually act. Hanging around the trees doesn’t work anymore, if it is a bad movie, people aren’t scared of openly saying. Amidst good movies, it is Lifelines that work the most, stories inspired and based on real people. One such story presented to us in 2020 is the movie ‘Chhapaak’. Check out why the movie gain so much positive attention and became one of the best movies in Deepika Padukone’s career.
1. A truly inspirational story
Chhapaak, which means Splash is based on the story of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. Laxmi was attacked by her stalker whose advances she had denied time and again. All of 15, she was left with scars that she learnt to use as her pride marks. She came over her pain and anguish and used it to help other victims. Her petition helped the regulation of acid sale as well as put more light on similar victims.
2. Deepika Padukone, need we say anymore?
Deepika has proved her potential in the film industry time and again but with Chhapaak she will be opening doors to a whole new dimension. She who always been considered a symbol of poise and beauty has spoken that it is this character that is closest to her heart. Padukone’s look received great reviews and comments full of pride after she shared it on her Instagram.
3. Meghna Gulzar’s precision and sensitivity
Meghna is a few films old but with Talvar and Raazi she proved that she was here to stay. The daughter of talented Gulzar and Rakhee, Meghna surely knows what attracts the new generation. She surely knows how to bring real-life emotions to the screen, and it was due to her we saw Alia Bhatt in such a different role.
4. Vikrant Massey’s charm and acting skills
Vikrant Massey will be seen playing the character of Amol in the movie. Apparently, it is Amol who stands with Malti (Deepika Padukone) as her pillar and later becomes her partner for life. Massey has acting skills to vouch for which we saw in movies like Lootera, Dil Dhadakne Do, A Death in the Gunj and now web series Mirzapur. We can’t deny that he knows his job better than many actors.

Android Oreo is a massive upgrade with a wide range of features and it'll bring a refreshed user experience to eligible handsets. Xiaomi Mi A1, being one of them, is going to be treated with the generosity of Android Oreo's top features such as Picture-in-Picture mode, smart text selection and notification dots.
But Mi A1 users have one more reason to rejoice. Android Oreo unlocks a dormant feature in all Mi A1 handsets that will make the mid-range smartphone even more compelling. One of the daunting features of the Mi A1 was its slow charging, but users will be delighted to know that Android Oreo will make it a thing of the past, TelecomTalk reported.
The publication confirmed that the Mi A1 with Android Oreo beta update charges twice as faster than before. The report adds that unlocking fast-charging in the device charges the Mi A1 from 0 to 100 percent in 92 minutes. This is a massive improvement from 2 hours of charge time.
As per user reviews on MIUI forums, Android Oreo on Xiaomi Mi A1 also significantly boosts app load time, adds smoother animations compared to Nougat, and improves the dual rear camera setup.
As mentioned earlier, these upgrades have been tested on a beta version of Android Oreo, which also comes with bugs. Xiaomi is yet to confirm the rollout of the stable version of the software for Mi A1 users. But those who are eager to get their hands-on the Android Oreo beta can do so by manually installing the firmware on their Mi A1.
One way is to unlock the bootloader of the Mi A1, which voids the warranty of the device. The other (and safest) way is to wait for the OTA rollout by the company.

At 17 years of age, he dropped out of Garfield High School to join the army to avoid a jail sentence for riding in stolen cars. He had to chose between spending two years in prison or join the army instead. Hendrix completed training and was assigned 101st Airborne Division and was posted in Kentucky.
In the mid 1966, Hendrix met Chas Chandler who became his manager. Chandler convinced Hendrix to go to London where he joined Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell to creater The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Members of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who and Eric Clapton were all admires of Hendrix's work. 1967, the bands first single "Hey Joe" was an instant smash followed by "Purple Haze".
Hendrix died on September 18, 1970 from dru-realated complications. While he was only 27 years old, Hendrix left his mark on the world of rock music and remains popuar to this day. As one journalist wrote "Jimi Hendrix could get more out of an electric uitar than anyone else. He was the ultimate guitar player."

The structured core domain of αB-crystallin can prevent amyloid fibrillation and associated toxicity

Mammalian small heat-shock proteins (sHSPs) are molecular chaperones that form polydisperse and dynamic complexes with target proteins, serving as a first line of defense in preventing their aggregation into either amorphous deposits or amyloid fibrils. Their apparently broad target specificity makes sHSPs attractive for investigating ways to tackle disorders of protein aggregation. The two most abundant sHSPs in human tissue are αB-crystallin (ABC) and HSP27; here we present high-resolution...[Show more]

Repeat after me: TRUST THE MEDIA, TRUST THE MEDIA, TRUST THE MEDIA. My first rule is to only believe what I can confirm from three independent sources or someone on the ground who saw it with his own bloodshot eyes. (In the case of newspaper reports about airplane crashes, the foregoing doesn't even apply, as any of us who have chased TITANIUM in the desert know so well!) Believe me, the press is not a good source of data most of the time, no matter how plausible. I'd trust the word of a few smart people in lawn chairs in the desert before I'd trust most news outlets.

Mental Health Access for Veterans
It’s Milestone One of my public health course: Healthcare Delivery Systems
A gap in equity related to mental health access for veterans
Describe a specific gap in the delivery of healthcare. Include the specific population affected by the gap
Briefly describe the history of this gap in access to healthcare. Has this been an issue historically, or is it a modern issue?
Introduction: Socioeconomic Background
Explain the impact that the socioeconomic background of the population has on their access to healthcare.
Describe how the healthcare delivered to the population is affected by the gap in access.
Predict any potential implications if this gap in access is not addressed.
Mental Health Access for Veterans
Description of the Gap and Population Affected
Mental health access is an imperative service that the American Veterans must access with ease as the rates of traumatic and mental illnesses tend to bound this populace(Devi, 2011). As such, in regards to the American Public Health Association (APHA) Policy statements, there is need to address the gap with new policies that will foster improved mental health for the American Veterans(APHA, 2014). Additionally, studies suggest that merely fifty percent of the returning veterans who need mental health will receive these services.
Notably, veterans refer to the soldiers who battle for to safeguard the US affairs. Studies suggest these veterans are predisposed to experiences on the battlefield that might culminate mental disorders such as PTSD(Shiner, Drake, Watts, Desai, & Schnurr, 2012).
Iraqi and Afghanistan wars have been the most extensively sustained military operations ever since the Vietnam wars. Statistically, 2.2 million troops have been sent to battle, and approximately, the battle has led to 6,600 deaths coupled with 48,000 injuries have been experienced(Hoge, Auchterlonie, & Milliken, 2006). As such, the rate of deployment has now increased to 28%. Therefore, this group of individuals works in harsh conditions that lead to development the need to fill in the gap for mental care to embrace a healthy humanity.
Research suggests that allowing the veterans to be provided with mental health assistance has proven that individuals will be able to live happier with their families after returning from the battleground(Friedman, 2005). Also, veterans tend to exhibit violent nature after returning from duty, as such filling this gap for access will help them behave humanely, regardless of the experiences they had during the war(Woodhead et al., 2011).
the gap is not addressed, returning vets
will be significantly affected by the mental
disorder that might culminate a rise in PTSD cases, substance abuse cases,
anxiety, and sexual trauma. As they voluntarily decided to save the nations and
settles conflicts, the only payback that veterans can get is supporting them with
helping them access mental health
services with ease.

It appears that there are major concerns and issues with the upgrading of Meriden’s sewage plant. It seems to have faulty equipment that is releasing pollution levels of nitrogen into the environment. It also appears that “unforeseen” levels of polluting phosphorus are being released into the air due to the upgrades. To me, unforeseen means the results of not following standard codes. In my opinion and research, I consider these pollutants to be life-threatening. The upgrades were not mandatory. I think that Meriden taxpayers may have footed the bill for these multi-million-dollar upgrades. My understanding is that the city has been fined by the EPA and told to fix the issues. I believe that the city may have hired, at our expense, an out-of-state firm to fight the EPA so Meriden can release high levels of toxins into the air and into the soil. Is Meriden becoming another New Jersey? Will carrying portable oxygen tanks (as compared with bottled water) be the future? Are Meriden residents again labeled as sheep with wool over our eyes?
Congratulations to Senator Bartolomeo! Our state Senator, Danté Bartolomeo, has just been named “Legislator of the Year” by the Connecticut Community Development Association. This highly regarded organization is composed of professionals in the public and private sectors who build municipal infrastructure, revitalize neighborhoods, and create safer, stronger communities. They selected Senator Bartolomeo for her leadership at the state capitol on this complex range of issues. They praised her ability to bring people together to solve problems, both at the legislature and in her district. The award recognized her tireless commitment to the well-being of our children, the security of our families, and the health of our cities and towns.
In just her first term, Senator Bartolomeo has achieved this impressive honor. She makes her constituents proud.
Jeffrey Freiser, Meriden
I have been hiking Chauncey Peak for 64years. When I was in college, I worked at the Record-Journal and also cleaned offices at the trap rock company currently gutting the mountain. Dr. Giuffreda was our team doctor on the Meriden High School football team. As you should guess, I am personally involved in what is happing to Chauncey Peak. It irks me to read Leonardo Suzio’s condescending nod to the public concerning Chauncey Peak, wherein he would “want it to be open” providing we don’t “cause problems” (R-J, 4-12).
Let’s look, for a minute, at the obvious point — that the Suzio’s “own” the mountain, or a good portion of it. Not too long ago, 15 people in New London “owned” their houses before the state allowed the city to allow the development company to seize these homes for “public use.” A large portion of this public use was, oddly enough, labeled Pfizer Chemical. The city , state and private firms conspired to strip these people of their homes because of the need for public use. Well, what is more “public” than a mountain? Did Suzio build it, place it there, nurture it? Of course not. My understanding is that 36 acres of it was bought for $5,000 in 1966. Seems like a low price for that much land — but, who knows?
Ten years ago, developers in another town wanted to destroy 58 acres of virgin land to accommodate their schemes. I, and others, formed an LLC, and fought them in state and federal courts for years. The land we fought for is still there — pristine and available to everyone. Anyone interested in forming an LLC to save Chauncey Peak should write to me at P.O. Box 191, Marion, CT, 06444.

I always feel really inspired to be creative and confident after an episode of Ugly Betty. So, I decided to finally act on it and do a bit of research into my favourite fashion field, the streets of Japan.
After collecting a few images that tickled my fancy, I took what I had learned to my existing wardrobe and came up with this. I must say, it felt very me. And I didn’t have to spend anything to achieve the look.
Also, I really do want purple and red hair at some point… Roll on paycheck, wanna try out a proper salon for the first time! (yeah, I know I’m sheltered… that’s a northern suburban upbringing for ya!)

Stage two of the rejuvenation of Dimboola’s Avenue of Honour at the Secondary College commenced on Sunday with the removal of the old trees on the south side of Anzac Drive.
Despite the cold and foggy conditions, a large team of volunteers organised through Grainflow and the Dimboola Sub Branch of the R.S.L. spent Sunday morning cutting down and removing the old trees in preparation for the planting of healthy young native eucalypts in their place next month.
These trees were planted around 60 years ago and were reaching the end of their life and the Dimboola Sub Branch of the R.S.L. has approved their removal and replacement in order to maintain this significant memorial to the district’s fallen soldiers.
The first stage, which was completed in October last year, involved the removal of the older trees from the inside of the Drive which were then replaced with trees of the same species as the newer ones planted adjacent to the Matron Paschke memorial over the last six years.
Above - Some of the new trees planted as part of Stage One of the works last October.

Pakistan Test captain Misbahul Haq’s 61 off 39 balls and left-arm pacer Muhammad Amir’s career best T20 figures of four wickets for 30 runs in four overs set the Rangpur Rider’s clash with Chittagong Vikings alight on Sunday.
Riders bagged a last-ball victory but the highlight of the match was the second innings with Misbah helping his team in the chase while Amir trying to help his team defend 187-run total.
Amir was twice on hat-trick in the match. In the third over of the second innings, Amir accounted for Lendl Simmons as Tamim Iqbal took the catch.
On the very next ball, Amir dismissed Soumya Sarkar LBW.
Misbah, the man of the match, came in to bat at number four for the Riders and once again helped his team out of trouble, as he has always done for Pakistan, by hitting four sixes and three boundaries – very unlike his style.
Amir was then given the ball to bowl the penultimate over and he accounted for Thisara Perera with a slow ball. Jeevan Mendis took the catch at midwicket.
Amir’s next victim was none other than the Misbah. An incoming yorker rattled Misbah’s off-stump as he left the pitch nearly guiding his team to victory. Amir was ecstatic after cleaning up the Pakistan Test captain.
Before that Misbah had pulled Amir for a four towards square leg in the 15th over.
Earlier, Vikings won the toss and chose to bat first setting a target of 187 for Riders. Tamim Iqbal scored 51 off 32 for the Vikings while Saqlain Sajib bagged three wickets in his four overs for the Riders.


Caleb “Sweethands” Plant (17-0, 10 Kos) entered the ring tonight in El Paso, Texas tonight to take on Mexico’s Rogelio “Porky” Medina (38-9, 32 Kos) in a 12 round Super Middleweight IBF title eliminator.
Ironically, “Porky” did not make the designated 168 pound limit, removing the possibility of immediate advancement following this fight.
Over the first several rounds Medina followed the slick Plant around the ring while “Sweethands” showed no sense of urgency, comfortably picking his shots and stinging his rival with an occasional straight right hand.
In Round 5 Medina attempted to go on a Plant based diet, pinning his rival on the ropes and letting his hands go in his best flurry of the evening. Plant, seemingly unbothered, slid out and resumed the dissection of his opponent.
In Round 11 Medina, seeming to understand that a knockout was his only chance at victory, picked up the intensity and banked the round thus ending what appeared to be a virtual shutout pitched by Caleb Plant.
At the end of 12 one-sided rounds Plant was announced the winner by unanimous decision scores of 120-108, 119-109 and 117-111.

A little more info on the problem I encountered than I first offered. My engine, a Westerbeke
40-108 is in fact, the same engine that was produced and labeled a Perkins
108 was built in 1980. I encountered the same problem after sailing, no water flow through the raw water
system when I first started the the engine. After several restarts I was able to achieve water flow through to the exhaust
outlet. Many of these instances meant I had to stave off the Seatow or Tow Boat US vultures offers ,eager to throw me a line, as I usually sailed up to the point where I needed to drop sails
into a channel to my mooring
. This generally occurred while I was dropping a hook to keep me out of the shallows while I resolved the problem.
The quick fix was to open the flow circuit of the raw water
, I had already played the face plate, gasket
size, impeller change, game
to no avail. Once i had water flowing freely from the heat exchanger
outlet I moved on to the wet exhaust
inlet. I knew this had to work because I had tested and changed out the vacuum breaker. This would get me flow through the exhaust and get me on my way. But, until I flushed and wire brush cleaned, (Rodded), out the oil
cooler and heat exchanger
tubes, the problem re-occurred every time I needed the engine. I also found bits and pieces of impeller and a Wooddruff key the PO had let slip into the cooling circuit.
The impeller change as well as the wear on the Sherwood pump cover, which on a 108 is direct drive, no belts or pullys come into play,and gasket
size can contribute to poor flow. But no flow is a problem that should be traced to its root cause or it will continue to bite you in the ass when you least need it.

Editorial ArticleSurface contamination monitoring of hazardous drugs
InfographicMonitoring hazardous drug surface contamination
Environmental Wipe Sampling – Personnel and Practices
The 2020 Safe to Touch Consensus Conference on Hazardous Drug Surface Contamination culminated in 11 consensus statements and recommendations that now form the basis for educating professionals about hazardous drug (HD) surface contamination and inform the development of surface contamination monitoring protocols.1
Along with establishing that administrative and engineering controls should be implemented where necessary, a key consensus was that comprehensive, setting-specific wipe sampling plans should be implemented. Wipe sampling is used to determine baseline contamination, screen for occupational exposures and evaluate cleaning procedures so that improvements to protective measures and equipment can be made where necessary.2 For an effective surface contamination monitoring programme, it is important to set out who is responsible for each aspect of the process.
Who is responsible for wipe sampling?
Every healthcare setting that handles HDs should develop a policy for monitoring surface contamination. These policies should be interdisciplinary in nature, involving various stakeholders and led by an experienced leader in the HD area.1 Pharmacists, technicians, nurses and physicians should collaborate to choose the sites of potentially contaminated areas where wipe sampling will take place.3 Another aspect of these policies should be identifying the individuals who will be ultimately responsible for performing the environmental wipe sampling.1 It has been recommended that one person should be designated to collect all of the wipe samples according to instructions from the laboratory, which will analyse the samples.3,4 Using one person for sample collection minimises variability and ensures consistency of sampling over time.4 This person could be an environmental health and safety staff member, occupational health and safety manager, pharmacy department director, or another staff member.3,4
Wipe sampling risk assessment
Just as wipe sampling is useful for assessing the risk to healthcare workers who come into contact with HDs, it is important to consider the risks to staff who carry out environmental sampling. Hazard analysis should guide the exposure controls used during sample collection, such as personal protective equipment (PPE).5 Exposure to HDs used in the site of monitoring, and elements of the sampling process itself such as volatile solvent wetting agents, should be considered and should not exceed occupational or safety exposure limits.5 It is also important that the person designated to carry out monitoring be trained on the particular sampling technique and how to use exposure controls properly.5
The wipe sampling process
Surface wipe samples can be analysed using either analytical or immunochemical tests, and robust sampling policies should employ both techniques.1 Analytical tests such as high-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry give quantitative results as to the level of surface contamination present but are time consuming and costly, requiring specially trained personnel to operate equipment.6 Immunochemical tests by contrast only give qualitative results for selected HDs, confirming either the presence or absence of contamination, but are easy to use and give results quickly.7 A fluorescence covalent microbead immunosorbent assay has been demonstrated for measuring multiple antineoplastic drugs and can be performed onsite, requiring limited training and a lower cost method for routine testing.6 A second type of qualitative test, the lateral flow immunoassay, can give results in under ten minutes and allows portable and easy testing with sensitive results that correlate well to analytical methods.7
Surface contamination monitoring policies should establish the frequency of wipe sampling required for each healthcare setting. Sampling should be carried out to determine a baseline, and then repeated at a minimum every 6 months, or more frequently if this is deemed necessary based on risk assessments carried out by each institution.8 Re-testing policies should also be put in place for instances where positive results are found.1
Auditing of wipe sampling and proper documentation is important to ensure longitudinal analysis of surface contamination, allowing for changes to be recognised and action to be taken.3 One person within a facility should be chosen to follow up on monitoring to make sure it is being carried out, along with recording details of the sampling and any major cleaning and decontamination procedures. 3
Understanding who is responsible for environmental wipe sampling, and best practises for an effective HD surface contamination monitoring programme is important to minimise potential harm to staff members and patients who may come into contact with HDs.

Feedback from drop-in centre and public meeting
Community feedback from the Khandallah ‘drop-in’ centre (21-23 October 2015)and public meeting (19 December 2015).
While residents could understand the rationale for medium-density housing (i.e. providing an alternative form of housing to accommodate differing housing needs), many had a sense of unease about this occurring in Khandallah and there was limited support on this basis.
People recognised that suburbs do change over time. However, people were concerned about the impact medium-density development would have on existing residential amenity (sunlight, outlook, noise, and physical dominance).
The demand for medium-density housing in Khandallah was questioned, given that population growth has been slow in recent years and the forecast growth remains low.
Concerns were strongly expressed in relation to the lack of prior consultation regarding the decision to engage with the residents of Khandallah after a decision has already been made by Council to investigate medium-density housing in this suburb.
Other general matters raised:
Residents of existing medium-density housing in Khandallah noted that they enjoy their current living environment.
- Some expressed a desire to down-size, or live in a co-share arrangement, but noted that there are limited opportunities to do-so.
- Schools were seen to have limited spare capacity – they are already using their playground areas to construct additional classrooms.
- Existing on-street parking is at capacity to the extent that many streets are effectively one-way due to parked cars on both sides of the street – developments should provide off-street car parking.
- There were comments about whether people want to live in developments managed by body corporates.
- Neighbours approval should be sought where medium-density housing goes next to them.
- There was concern about how this would affect property values.
- It was viewed that network infrastructure is at capacity (3 Waters).
The most accepted locations for medium-density housing are around the Town Centre and along public transport routes. Although some people questioned whether Khandallah residents walk to the local shops and services.
Some residents raised concern about the medium-density area being located close to schools (largely due to traffic/parking concerns).
Khandallah residents made these comments about medium-density housing scale and design:
- Small scale housing is more appropriate, rather than large scale developments.
- Two-storeys (rather than three) is the preferred medium-density housing height.
- Additional height could be appropriate where sites are large and streets are wide.
- Design controls are important; such as setbacks, heights, open space provisions, and sunlight and noise controls.
Design and appearance
Residents clearly stated that medium-density housing should not compromise the existing character of Khandallah – high quality design is required:
- Character should be protected and design controls should be specific to Khandallah – i.e. a ‘cookie cutter’ design standard should not apply to Khandallah.
- Modern looking developments should not be built throughout Khandallah, as this form of homogenous housing is not consistent with the more traditional housing style in Khandallah.
- Limit the number of developments that can occur within one street to avoid too much change occurring in one place.
- High-quality design and materials are necessary to ensure new housing is appropriate in the local context.
- There is concern that developers and architects/designers will not produce high quality design and that the Council will not adequately ensure developments are of a high standard. Residents pointed out various examples of what they considered to be poor design outcomes.
- Housing needs to be designed to accommodate needs – i.e. elderly people may not want to live in multi-storey homes.
- Encourage eco-friendly design and building solutions.
- Khandallah’s well vegetated and green nature is important to the community and should be kept.
- Concern about an increase in impervious surfaces.
The following themes were raised regarding the Khandallah Town Centre plan:
- Khandallah village centre is small, but adequate.
- There are not enough park/play areas close to the main village.
- Car parking should be increased and improved – visibility is limited with angle parking, which could be dangerous.
- There should be a limit on the number of takeaway stores located in the Town Centre.
- Apartments above the ground floor shops and at the rear of commercial sites could be encouraged.
- Retain the public library/improve the facilities.
- Whilst the supermarket is good, there was a feeling it is an inefficient use of space and could be planned out better.
- There was very little support for making the centre any bigger.
- Positive feedback around the recent creation of the Khandallah Business Improvement District (BID) policy.
- There should be some way to recognise the work of Ian Athfield.

Spokesperson for Housing
21 August 2012 MEDIA STATEMENT
The ball’s in your court Mr English
The Government is right to be concerned about housing affordability in New Zealand, but has the power to release land
itself, Labour’s Housing spokesperson Annette King says.
Her comment follows Bill English’s threat that councils must make more land available for housing or the Government will
change the rules.
“The Government’s had the Productivity Report on housing for six months, yet all we’ve had is a lot of hot air around
housing affordability and a whole heap of blame shifting - particularly onto local government. Ultimately, however, the
ball is in Bill English’s court.
“Auckland is the area most in need of new housing. The city needs 12,000 new homes a year but there’s only 2 – 3,000
being built. There are large tracts of government land available which could be used if the Government was serious about
the housing crisis in Auckland.
“The Government knows that it’s not only about releasing land, but it’s also about the affordability of the land. Urgent
action is needed on both those fronts.
“National has previously opposed efforts for genuine mixed housing models such as that proposed by Labour in
Hobsonville. In Opposition John Key argued against any state houses being built at Hobsonville, calling such
construction ‘economic vandalism’.
“Since National has been in Government it has cancelled initiatives such as the Gateway project and has also overseen
the biggest exodus of construction workers to Australia and other countries in living memory - in the March 2011 year
over 750 of the sector’s workers left.
“The construction industry has raised strong fears that it will struggle to meet the demand for Christchurch alone. It
has also pointed out the current slump could last for another three years at least.
“It is action, not threats, that is needed,” said Annette King.

Photography by Thaddeus Pope
On August 6th, 1945 at 8.15 a.m., an American Boeing B-29 Superfortress named Enola Gay opened its bomb bay doors and released an atomic bomb 31,060 feet (9,470 metres) above the city of Hiroshima, Japan. Forty-three seconds later the bomb reached its predetermined detonation height of 1,968 feet (600 metres), where it exploded with an energy equivalent to approximately 16 kilotons of TNT, causing unprecedented destruction and instantly killing an estimated 60,000 to 80,000 people (around 30% of the city’s population).
At the point of detonation heat rays from the blast exceeded one million degrees Celsius, completely obliterating nearly everything within a two-kilometre radius and causing intense fires which raged uncontrollably for days across nearly five square miles. As most of the city’s medical facilities had been located near the area directly beneath the explosion, medical treatment in the immediate aftermath was virtually non-existent. Tens of thousands of those who survived the initial explosion died in the days and weeks that followed from burns, injuries and radiation sickness caused by the blast and its fallout. In the months and years that followed, the long-term effects of radiation sickness claimed thousands more victims, while survivors, known as hibakusha (被爆者), suffered permanent physical and psychological damage.
Today the people of Hiroshima tirelessly promote the message that nuclear weapons must be eradicated to ensure the future of mankind. To that end, on August 6th every year, which is now known as A-bomb Day, the city of Hiroshima holds the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony in memory of the victims of the atomic bombs and to pray for the realisation of lasting world peace.

Tokyo Olympics: India’s Boxer Lovlina Borgohain satisfied with Bronze medal
Tokyo, Aug 04: India’s boxer from (Assam) Lovlina Borgohain loses in her semi-final match against Busenaz Surmeneli of Turkey and took home the bronze medal after losing the semi-final bout to top seed Busenaz Surmeneli of Turkey via unanimous decision on Wednesday.
Lovlina lost the first round 0:5 as all the judges gave the decision in favour of the Turkish boxer. Lovlina was warned and a point was deducted of her total points in the second round.
In the third and final round, Lovlina was outboxed by the reigning world champion.
With a bronze medal, Lovlina became only the third Indian boxer after Vijender Singh and Mary Kom to win an Olympic medal.
Lovlina had a tough Round of 16 bout against Germany’s Nadine Apetz where she won via a split decision.
In the quarterfinal, Lovlina punched her way into the semis with a 4:1 win over Chinese Taipei’s Nien-Chin Chen.
Earlier, in the day, wrestlers Ravi Dahiya and Deepak Punia won their initial two bouts to reach semi-finals. Both wrestlers will be in action later in the day and a win will assure both of at least a silver medal.
In javelin throw, India’s Neeraj Chopra qualified for the men’s final in his first attempt itself as he went past the automatic qualification mark of 83.50m easily. Chopra registered a throw of 86.65m and topped Group A.
India’s Shivpal Singh threw 74.81m in his third attempt in Group B of men’s Javelin Throw Qualification round. In his first two throws, he registered 76.40m and 74.80m and failed to qualify for the final. In golf, Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar started Round 1 in women’s Individual Stroke Play.

Telmex Hit By Economic Crisis
Mexico's leading fixed-line operator Telmex reported a year-on-year fall in sales of almost 4% to 29.79 billion Mexican pesos (2.25 billion US dollars) for the second quarter, as lower income from local and long-distance telephone service outweighed a 27% rise in Internet revenue, according to Dow Jones Newswires. source: Total Telecom/Dow Jones

Is your car’s A/C ready for this summer? It’s officially begun, but Orlando has been feeling the high temperatures for weeks now. You wouldn’t want your A/C to fail on one of these hot summer days. Our qualified team at Toyota of Orlando has put together a list of what to look out for if you think you might need auto A/C repair.
Learn what signs will signal that you need auto A/C repair
You may not know what the signs for a faulty A/C unit are. Our Orlando service techs recommend looking out for these signs to see if you need to schedule some auto A/C repair.
Your air conditioning unit isn’t turning on – If you have reached to point when you go to turn on the air and nothing blows out of the vents, there’s more than likely a big problem on your hands. We recommend getting auto A/C repair as soon as possible, especially in this heat!
When you want cold, it comes out hot – If the air that is coming out of your vents is hot for longer than a couple of minutes, there could be a few causes for this. It might be low refrigerant levels or even a burnt out fan, but we suggest seeking help from our Toyota maintenance team to figure out the true cause.
There’s a strange smell when you turn on the air – If you detect a smell whenever you turn on the air conditioning that could mean there’s a mold issue in your vehicle. It could be growing in the A/C and in the vents. You’ll need to have this professionally cleaned. You can do that with auto A/C repair from Toyota of Orlando.
There’s a noise that’s new or you don’t recognize – A rattling or banging noise whenever you turn on the A/C could mean a variety of things. Since it would be nearly impossible to pinpoint the problem if you aren’t a professional, you should schedule some maintenance to check it out.
You’ve noticed leaking – If you find water in your car or even underneath your car that could mean your car’s air conditioning system might have a problem with draining. Figure out the source of the problem and have it fixed by taking your car to get auto A/C repair in Orlando.
Deciding to bring your car in for maintenance in Orlando
If your car is showcasing any of the signs listed above, we definitely suggest bringing your car to get some maintenance done. Another positive to bringing your car in to Toyota of Orlando is that we would conduct a free multi-point inspection to see if there are any other problems.
Do you think your car might need some auto A/C repair? Bring it to our service center at Toyota of Orlando! We’re located at 3575 Vineland Road which is just off I-4 and near the Millenia Mall,
