Minutes for January 8, 2004 were unanimously approved as written by a vote of 4-0.
An informational presentation of an alley improvement project within the 100 block west of Harbor Boulevard (between Commonwealth and Santa Fe Avenues).
This is a community and property owner driven project. The City has been working to achieve their vision. This item has gone before City Council in terms of reviewing a conceptual design. It is being presented to the RDRC for professional feedback on the details of the plans, and for informational purposes.
Mr. Galvin stated that improvements have not been done to this particular block since 1974. Business owners in the area approached the Redevelopment Agency for assistance to update the block, with intentions to attract additional businesses and patrons. This project is comprised of mainly public improvements to the alley. Separately, property owners have proceeded with seismic improvements to their properties as part of a Redevelopment Department Seismic Upgrade Program. The seismic upgrade is a separate project from the "SOCO" proposal, which is intended to establish a community identity that distinguishes their block from others in the Downtown area. The idea for the "SOCO" (South of Commonwealth) District is to get a focal feature in the center, where the East West Alley intersects with the two parking areas coming off of Commonwealth and Santa Fe. The idea is to get something up in the air, which identifies the area with signage and decorative lighting. A secondary sign is proposed across Santa Fe Avenue at Harbor Boulevard, as are smaller pedestrian signs at the alley entrances at Commonwealth Avenue, Santa Fe Avenue, and Malden Avenue.
Pavement improvements will be applied to both private property and public areas to provide consistency in design. The design will include brick pavers on public property and concrete for the private properties. A private property area along the public alley will be included in the project improvements. This area will provide parking during the day and will be closed off in the evening and weekends for activities sponsored by the local restaurants. In order to allow deliveries to continue in the alley, the segments from the North-South alley to the parking lots will be one way, which will allow additional landscaping. A few of the properties need a great deal of attention, however the proposed improvements need to go forward to show the City's commitment to improving the area.
The "Primary Structure" will consist of individual internally illuminated letters with corrugated backing. The letters will be backlit to provide a white neon halo effect. A corrugated roof has been included in keeping with the areas industrial history. Vintage style light fixtures will be provided for security purposes. The secondary sign structure will be placed across Santa Fe Ave. at the Harbor Blvd. entrance to attract the attention of over 40,000 cars on Harbor Blvd each day. Each of the entrances to the alleys from Commonwealth, Santa Fe, and Malden will have a single faced pedestrian sign. The color of all the sign metal is patina, which requires little maintenance. Old style granite globe pole lights will be placed in the parking lots and on Santa Fe Ave. The landscaping will consist of magnolia and palm trees.
The area behind Steamers will have parallel parking with a sidewalk similar to the front of Steamers. The area could allow outdoor dining at the rear. Some of the businesses are not very attractive so staff has proposed a screening wall with gates and landscaping. The auto repair shop currently has a wall with parking in front along the alley. They have volunteered to relocate their parking behind the proposed wall and dedicate five feet for landscape if the City funds the project. The utilities will be relocated underground starting this June. Trash bins have been moved to dedicated areas.
Chairman Daybell asked if this project is funded by the Redevelopment Agency. Mr. Galvin confirmed that it would be in hopes that property owners would invest in additional improvements on the existing buildings. He stated that the project is estimated at 1.5 million dollars. Committee member Silber asked how the project affected the property values in the area. Chief Planner Rosen replied that the values would increase greatly. Member Silber asked how much glare would result from the streetlights, and was concerned about them being too bright. Mr. Galvin stated that the old lights are bright due to the spacing and would have the consultants explore additional types of lighting and light intensity. There was questions about the suspended lights across the alley.
Committee member Johnson asked if the plan included installing bollards in the parking area. Mr. Galvin stated the public would be using this parking lot for events and they would be responsible for blocking off the parking lot. Usually this is with A-frame barricades. Committee member Johnson asked if they considered using vine pockets and detached trellis. He thought greenery was needed. Mr. Galvin stated that the vine pockets were a good idea in theory, but would be a maintenance problem for City landscape crews. The plans could include trellis, even without landscaping, and the City and consultants would consider it. Committee member Johnson suggested using a similar design as can be found at the entrance of Disneyland Park. He described the wall trellis as being a crisscross of thin wire with small vines growing on it. Committee member Silber questioned who is responsible once the alley is closed for events in the area. Chief Planner Rosen replied that the same rules and stipulations for a block party would be applied to the alley. Committee member Coffman expressed some concern relating to future construction projects damaging the alley hardscape. He thought the concrete band at the sides of the brick pavers was good because it could easily be repaired.
Associate Planner Eastman had some questions about the maintenance of the grease interceptors and tearing up the paving. Mr. Galvin stated that the existing restaurants were ok, however new restaurants would be required to install their own. Chief Planner Rosen added that, when possible, it is recommended that an oversized interceptor be installed for the use multiple restaurants. Chairman Daybell stated that a time limit should be given to business owners requiring them not to disturb the asphalt for a number of years to maintain the surface of the street.
Mr. Galvin stated the water services would be extended out to Commonwealth and no sewer or utility lines would go through the alley. Committee member Johnson wondered if the city would fund the relocation of waterlines. Mr. Galvin in the affirmative. The relocation project had been approved before the alley improvements were proposed and are currently underway.
The Committee questioned how staff planned to clean the street. Mr. Galvin stated that a street sweeper, currently used in the Downtown area, would also be used in the SOCO alley. Associate Planner Eastman suggested that the concrete aggregate paving be a dark color to hide oil stains from cars. Eastman also stated that the signs have an exposed raceway, and staff would suggest that the raceway be located on the inside of the sign structure. He said that staff would also recommend a color for the "SOCO" sign that contrasts with the sign structure, as the proposal looks monotone. He asked if a color palette had been considered for the District. He recommended festive colors to create a lively fun space. Member Coffman asked if the intent is to create an image that the structures have been there since the 20s or 30s, or a whole new image. Committee member Coffman said to make it look old; then he thinks the sign sizes and color are too much. He said that old marquee district signs are more subdued. Galvin said the concept was derived from the Transportation Center's overpass, which is "new industrial". Coffman said individual SOCO letters should be considered; the spacing between letters should be greater, and perhaps externally illuminated. There was discussion regarding established historical street arches in Southern California. Committee member Coffman said the sign does not need to be the focal point of the structure, but rather part of the structure.
Chairman Daybell opened the meeting to public comments. Mr. Walt Johnson expressed his enthusiasm for this project and noted that property values and sales tax have continued to increase.
Chairman Daybell closed the public comments and turned the meeting over to the Committee members.
Committee member Johnson approved of the project and suggested adding a wall treatment of some kind such as wall art. There was some discussion regarding public art, and how public art can be used as a focal point. Committee member Silber agreed that public art would invite public socialization and conversation. Member Johnson said blank walls invite graffiti and suggested vines and landscaping.
Committee member Coffman asked if the plans included string lights. Mr. Galvin replied that it would be left up to the property owners to install them. There was discussion regarding lighting and who would be responsible to pay the bill.
Mr. W. Johnson asked the committee if the property owners should be aware of any lighting concerns. Chairman Daybell stated that the property owners should be made aware of any concerns. Comments: (1) Plans should indicate square footage separated as existing and new floor area. (2) Smokehatch/vent detail should include cross section in relation to roof and parapet. (3) Are smokehatch/vents for emergency venting only required for normal operations? Conduit sleeves should be placed in the alley with generous conduit risers. This would prevent the paving form being ripped up later just to install electrical. Committee member Silber suggested a business improvement district to maintain and improve the public spaces. Committee member Johnson said that electrical outlets are normally run in planter areas with the street trees. He thinks this should be done to accommodate outdoor events, up-lighting, etc.
Committee member Silber excused himself due to a previous engagement.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:30 p.m.

Short answer: No
Long answer: we need to look back 2000 years and see what was happening in the first century of the Common Era. Prior to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, and the diaspora of traditional Hebrews from Jerusalem and Judea, all of the people in Galilee and Judea would have identified as the Hebrew people, including Jesus and his followers.
Why such hostility between traditional Hebrews who followed the ways of the Pharisees and those who followed Jesus? Well there were a few things:
- The group that would become Christians (let’s call them ‘Proto-Christians’, but at the time they were known as “People of The Way” or “Christ followers”) were a missions focused group while traditional Hebrews were not. As a missions focused group they did spend time in worship, but they spent even more time talking about their new beliefs with anyone and everyone who would listen, making converts. This split families and caused hard feelings. Matthew 10:35 gives us a window on this.
- When the Romans invaded a territory, they usually forced the people to follow the national cult. Romans believed in order for the empire to survive, all citizens had to participate in this cult. Hebrews refused, but an agreement was made allowing the Hebrews to worship their God at the Temple, in return for not publicly speaking or acting against the Emperor or Roman cult. Proto-Christians did not respect this agreement and spoke against both. This got them into trouble regularly with both the Roman authorities and the traditional Hebrew authorities, and since the Roman authorities couldn’t tell the difference between the two emerging religious groups, they came down hard on both. Somewhere around 49 CE they were both expelled from Rome. This is referenced by several Roman historians and Acts 18:2. Priscilla and Aquila were part of that expulsion.
- And as mentioned in the video, when the revolt happened (Jewish-Roman war 66-73 CE), the Proto-Christians were not there to support those who rose up against the Romans. This wasn’t a conscious decision necessarily, it was more a matter of circumstance. By that time many Christians had already moved on in their mission work and were scattered around the Mediterranean. Scholars believe the Letter to the Hebrews is the last reference we have to the original community of Proto-Christians in Jerusalem.
CE or Common Era: also known as AD, or anno Domini (Latin; Year of the Lord). The switch to CE is in recognition that while Christians recognize Jesus’ birth as a game changer, other religious traditions do not
Supersessionism: the Christian doctrine that says the New Testament supersede or replaces the Old Testament, and that Christians replace Jews as the People of God

All austenitic stainless steels should meet this requirement, if proper annealing took place.
Because it can be run quickly for screening, we often run this test first. The ASTM A tests can determine if the proper heat treatment was performed or if the alloys are in danger of intergranular corrosion occurring in use. Practice A, the oxalic acid etch test is used as a rapid technique to screen samples of certain stainless steel grades to ensure they are not susceptible to intergranular attack sensitization.
Wilson Hardness Conversion Chart. A bend test followed by a pracitce or micro-examination are used to determine “Pass” or “Fail” of test specimens. ASTM A testing is a popular method of choice due to the variety of practices available and the relatively short turnaround for results. If you are not sure, please contact us for assistance. The chart below comes from the ASTM A standard for selection of the appropriate test by alloy type:. Practice F, is a hour weight-loss based analysis that provides a ast, measure of the materials performance, and is commonly used to analyze as-received stainless steels.
The level of corrosion is determined by mass loss. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. A recent publication on intergranular corrosion.
If the structure is acceptable no additional testing is required. Based on your materials, application, and requirements, the other 4 methods provide specific focuses. These practices include five intergranular corrosion tests, namely: We provide intergranular corrosion evaluation, salt spray testing, stress corrosion, and various other methods to simulate exposure of your products or materials to corrosive environments.
Intergranular Attack – ASTM A – Colorado-Metallurgical-Services
Practice A is a rapid screening examination of the microstructure to quickly determine if the structure is certain to be free of susceptibility to rapid intergranular attack.
In everyday applications, corrosion varies by materials and solutions.
These tests do not provide a basis for predicting resistance to forms of corrosion other than intergranular, such as general corrosion, pitting, or stress-corrosion cracking. Typical examination magnification is X to X. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.
Practice E, the Strauss test, is performed ppractice assess attack associated with chromium-rich carbide formation; it does not detect susceptibility to sigma phase formation.
In many cases we can reduce that to as little as 24 hours more than the required testing time if you need fast results.
Duplicate samples from both sides of a sheet sample are evaluated to determine if carburization results in intergranular attack.
Intergranular Corrosion Testing: An Overview of ASTM A262
Choosing the correct method s rely on a complete understanding of your material and processes, as well as the concept of corrosion itself.
Strauss test specimens are boiled in a Copper Astn – Sulfuric Acid mixture for 15 hours. There is several cause for SCC, Chloride is the leading cause of transgranular cracking or attack.
However, when a material is exposed to high temperatures for long periods of time, a process called sensitization may occur. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application.
See Appendix X1 for information regarding test selection. The first and fastest step is the Xstm A Practice A, a rapid same-day screening method in Oxalic acid to determine the susceptibility to intergranular corrosion.

Classification of structure then provides either acceptance or further testing required, which typically moves you to one of the next practices. Contact us now for pricing or a quote! Intergranular corrosion shows up as the dark black lines around the grain boundaries.
Metals like stainless steels and aluminum contain elements such as niobium and chromium, often integrated because of their natural corrosion resistance.


Venturi Driven Protein Skimmers & Beckett Foam Jet Injection Skimmers
Venturi driven protein skimmers inject fine air bubbles and create a vortex of foam froth and water in the bottom of the chamber, greatly increasing the amount of contact time and waste collected. Venturi driven protein skimmers rely on water pumps, and many come with one included.
Beckett Foam Jet "Bullet" protein skimmers from Precision Marine work similarly but use beckett foam injection technology to create copious amounts of fine foam like you'll never see in another skimmer. These pricey skimmers are the most powerful you will find on the market.


Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has inaugurated a new domestically-built submarine armed with cruise missiles in line with the Islamic Republic’s move to boost its defense power.
The inaugural ceremony for Fateh (Conqueror) submarine was held in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas in Hormozgan Province on Sunday (Feb 17).
Fateh, with a 100-percent domestically-sourced technology, can operate more than 200 meters below the sea surface for nearly five weeks.
Iran’s first semi-heavy submarine is capable of carrying and firing cruise missiles that could be launched from a submerged position.
The 527-tonne submarine is also equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry, including torpedoes and naval mines.
Fateh is also outfitted with a guided-missile system and an advanced sonic radar system, which can identify enemy vessels.
‘Fateh submarine totally designed, built by Iranian experts’
Speaking to reporters following the inauguration ceremony, Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami noted that Fateh submarine is a totally indigenous product whose entire design process has been done by Iranian scientists and experts at the Marine Industries Organization of Iran, which is affiliated with the Defense Ministry.
He added that the new Iranian submarine is equipped with a variety of top-notch technologies, including sonar systems, electric propulsion, a system for firing submarine-launched missile at surface targets, an electronic warfare system as well as a secure integrated communications system.
Iran’s defense minister noted that Fateh submarine can fire torpedoes with a diameter of 533 millimeters and can carry eight naval mines and two reserve torpedoes.
Acceding to Hatami, the new Iranian submarine is made up of more than 412,000 pieces and is the product of 4.202 million person-hours of labor by Iranian specialists.

NASA Will Attempt To Communicate Via Lasers From The International Space Station
NASA is attempting to demonstrate laser communications from the International Space Station (ISS). NASA is sending a technology known as Integrated LCRD Low Earth Orbit User Modem and Amplifier Terminal (ILLUMA-T) to the space station this year. ILLUMA-T will work with the Laser Communications Repay Demonstration (LCRD), launched in December 2021, to show NASA's first two-way, end-to-end laser communication system.
Making laser comms a robust alternative
Laser communications systems operate through invisible infrared light. Such systems are capable of sending and receiving information at high data rates, NASA said. When ILLUMA-T is installed on the space station, it will demonstrate the benefits of higher data rates for missions in low Earth orbit.
"Laser communications offer missions more flexibility and an expedited way to get data back from space," said Badri Younes, former deputy associate administrator for NASA's Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) programme. "We are integrating this technology on demonstrations near Earth, at the Moon, and in deep space."
Laser systems are also lighter and require less power, making them a good choice while designing spacecraft. NASA says ILLUMA-T is approximately the size of a standard refrigerator.
"Once ILLUMA-T is on the space station, the terminal will send high-resolution data, including pictures and videos to LCRD at a rate of 1.2 gigabits-per-second," said Matt Magsamen, deputy project manager for ILLUMA-T. "Then, the data will be sent from LCRD to ground stations in Hawaii and California. This demonstration will show how laser communications can benefit missions in low Earth orbit."
Most space-based missions currently use radio frequency systems. In the future, laser communications will supplement such communications systems. If laser communications system capable of data rates work as expected, such technologies will help with future mission future to the Moon, Mars, and farther off in deep space.

Email winner: Igigi Jacqueline Dress sketch
Retailers want to show their wares, obviously. Great photography helps in that case: presenting your products in an attractive way does awesome stuff for results. But great photography is not the only way to make email marketing attractive: there are other graphical ways to represent your products. This time an email from Igigi caught my eye which shows a fashion designer-like sketch of the Jacqueline dress. See the email below:
Subject line: Summer friendly fabric, ruffles, & an invigorating blue hue all-in-1 easy to wear dress – The Jaqueline Dress
– KISS principle: no distracting prices, other imagery or whatnot: just a simple header and footer, the sketch graphic and the name.
– Promoting extras: just below the pre-header Yuliya (the owner) is promoted regarding a tour of the IGIGI HQ with Marie Denee.
– While being a long subject line at no less than 109 characters, it does invite to click through: very descriptive and tempting.
All in all an attractive email which shows photography isn’t the only option in the graphical toolbox to present products in email marketing.

LURONNE CHARLES, a resident of this South Shore Suffolk hamlet, recalls the time when Smith Avenue, a centrally located thoroughfare north of Main Street, was a scary place.
The street's residential section from Mechanicsville Road north to Union Boulevard ''was a very bad street,'' she said, ''with abandoned and burned-out houses and cars in the middle of the road.''
But now neighborhood blight is about to be replaced by new housing: a 78-unit community with a mix of town houses and rental apartments. The 44 substandard houses that formerly lined the street were razed last year by the Town of Islip, which took them over under its powers of eminent domain. The block has been blocked temporarily to through traffic, and the Long Island Housing Partnership, a nonprofit group based in Hauppauge, has begun developing the land for the project, called South Wind Village. New residents, including Mrs. Charles and her husband, Sonder, whose names were picked from hundreds of would-be purchasers in a December lottery, will start moving in by spring.
The project will include 52 three-bedroom attached town houses that with the help of federal, state and private grants will be sold to first-time home buyers for $84,000. House purchasers will need about $6,000 for down payments and closing costs. Monthly payments, including taxes, will be under $1,000.
The 26 rental apartments will be owned by the Town of Islip Housing Authority, and rents will not exceed 30 percent of family income. Ten of the rental units will be three-bedroom town houses identical to the for-sale houses. The remaining 16 will be one-bedroom apartments in two-story buildings for rental by people 62 and over. Those tenants will have their own community house. A children's playground will be available for younger families.
South Wind Village has been in the planning stages for six years, and many financial resources have been tapped to keep housing prices at a level that low- to moderate-income buyers can afford. Of the 52 houses, 41 are being sold to first-time buyers making no more than 80 percent of the median income in Nassau and Suffolk Counties; the income ceiling amounts to $61,200 for a family of four. The remaining 11 houses are being sold to buyers making no more than 60 percent of the median -- $45,900 for a family of four. The income of renters cannot exceed 50 percent of the median; this comes to $38,250 for four people and $30,600 for a couple.
Beyond providing attractive new low-cost housing, the project is also being lauded as an example of what can be done to renew downtowns by revitalizing their housing, a planning concept referred to as ''smart growth.''
''Most of the time when you talk about urban renewal and downtown revitalization, you're talking about stores and office space,'' said Jim Morgo, the president of the Housing Partnership. ''Here, blighted dilapidated structures are being replaced by quality new homes that will bring people in.''
Once a thriving retail center, Bay Shore went through many years of decline after the opening of regional malls. Housing around Main Street also declined as absentee landlords turned single-family residences into rooming houses.
Two streets -- Second Avenue and Smith Avenue -- were particularly blighted, with a high incidence of drug dealings, prostitution and other criminal activities, said Paul Fink, the executive director of Islip's Community Development Agency.
A private group called Artco, formed by local residents and businesses, has been purchasing and renovating houses on Second Avenue, turning that street around. Another organization, South Shore Restoration Group, recently restored a historic firehouse on the same street. But Smith Avenue required more drastic action -- relocating its residents and replacing existing housing with new development -- according to a study prepared in 1994 by Islip's planning department.
''We felt it was the type of street that we could never get people to invest in because it had such a poor quality housing stock to begin with,'' Mr. Fink said.
The total cost of the South Wind Village project, including acquisition, demolition and site improvement, will be just under $14 million. A total of eight financing sources, including private lenders, became involved to make the project one that could meet its goal of housing for low- to moderate-income families, Mr. Morgo said.
The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, a private lender sponsored by the government, was the first to make a commitment to the project, with a $520,000 grant. The commercial bank EAB followed with a $4.3 million construction loan, which will be paid back as the houses are sold. A total of $4.3 million in federal funds and grants provided to the Islip Housing Authority will cover the cost of the rental buildings.
Federal Home Funds -- money earmarked for housing geared to low-income families -- and grants from the New York State Affordable Housing Corporation, the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Long Island Housing Partnership will be used to reduce the actual cost of each house, $167,645, to the $84,000 that buyers must pay. The grants become liens against the property that expire if a purchaser owns the home for at least 10 years.
The townhouses, which were originally expected to cost $137,000 each to build, are costing $30,000 more, mostly because of increases over six years in the cost of materials and labor.

Giardia in Dogs: What It Is and How Is It Treated
Giardia in dogs is an illness caused by a parasite. Your dog can unknowingly ingest the parasite, so it’ll be hard to tell that he’s got the giardia parasite until signs and symptoms show up. In this case, you must arm yourself with everything there is to know about giardia!
This article introduces you to what giardia is and what disease it causes in dogs. You’ll also learn giardiasis signs and symptoms, how vets diagnose the condition, and treatment options your dog may take. Finally, we’ll give you tips to care for your dog and prevent an encounter with giardia in the future. So, delve right into this complete guide to understanding and treating giardia in dogs!
Meet Giardia, the Parasite Behind Giardiasis
Giardia is a microscopic protozoan parasite that can cause diarrheal disturbances in dogs, cats, birds, mammals, and humans. They are completely different from bacteria, viruses, fungi, and worms. The organism is also known as Giardia duodenalis, Giardia Intestinalis, and Giardia lamblia. Giardia resembles a pear in shape, with whip-like structures on its body called flagella.
Giardia duodenalis has seven known genotypes from A to G. These assemblages are known to infect certain hosts:
- A and B – Humans
- C and D – Dogs
- E – Livestock
- F – Cats
- G – Rodents
As such, the parasite’s various genotypes prefer particular groups of animals and humans as hosts. However, the possibility of zoonotic infection (disease transmission from animal to human) is still there. Cross-species infection is rare but also possible, especially for households with multiple pets at home.
Unlike other parasites, Giardia survives and thrives in cool moist environments for several weeks. It can live in the soil for up to 7 weeks during winter (1 week during normal breezy days). Meanwhile, the parasite lives for 1-3 months in waters with a temperature below 10°C/ 50°F. These waters may include refrigerated water or lakes/ponds/puddles during winter.
Giardia’s Life Cycle
The life cycle of giardia is among the simplest of all parasites. It starts with the host animal ingesting the cyst form of giardia. Cysts are commonly seen in food or water contaminated with feces. When these cysts reach the intestines, they divide and release trophozoites (active feeding form of giardia) through a process called excystation.
Now, as the trophozoites are swept down further inside the intestines, they produce infectious cysts through encystation. These cysts pass out the body through the feces, with the potential to infect other host animals and humans again.
What is Giardia in Dogs?
Dogs that ingest giardia often experience a condition called giardiasis. It’s characterized by sudden watery diarrhea that can last for a few days. Since the parasite clings to the intestinal walls, the affected dog finds it hard to absorb water, electrolytes, and nutrients from his food intake. This can lead to other problems such as weight loss and sluggishness.
Symptoms of giardia in dogs do not always present readily. Often, symptoms manifest after 1-3 weeks from the ingestion of contaminated food or water. Also, giardia may unknowingly be spread by your dog through his feces even if he doesn’t show any symptoms. It takes 5-12 days for ingested giardia cysts to pass outside a dog’s body through feces.
Dogs susceptible to giardiasis include puppies, older dogs, and those with compromised immune systems. Animals in kennels, shelters, and breeding facilities are also likely to be infected with the Giardia duodenalis parasite.
How Do Dogs Get Giardia?
Dogs easily get giardia because they love putting things in their mouths. They tend to lick their butts, bite sticks, roll around soil, drink from puddles, chew grass, and even eat their poop! Giardia can quickly get in their bodies and live inside their intestines, unfortunately causing problems with their digestion, nutrition, and elimination.

- Comprehensive Guide to Understanding the Reason Why Dogs Eat Grass
- Definitive Guide To Understanding Why Dogs Eat Poop
The most common way dogs get giardiasis is through ingesting contaminated water. Dogs may drink water soiled by feces from other animals. Contaminated water is often seen outdoors, so your dog may potentially get giardia after a day outdoors or from a hike in the woods.
Signs and Symptoms of Giardia in Dogs
Giardiasis in dogs isn’t detectable right away. As we mentioned earlier, symptoms may only show up 1-3 weeks after your dog has ingested the giardia cysts through contaminated food or drink. The average time when symptoms appear ranges from 5-10 days after parasite ingestion.
Suspect giardiasis if your dog shows any of these symptoms:
- Sudden onset of diarrhea
- Unusually soft and light-colored stool
- Bloating and gas
- Swollen tummy
- Refusal to eat
- Weight loss
- Poor appearance of coat and skin
Dogs with giardiasis may experience either intermittent or long-term diarrhea. Fats, blood, or mucus may also be present in the stool. Puppies are especially susceptible to such kinds of diarrheal stools.
There are also giardiasis cases wherein dogs never showed any signs and symptoms. If your dog didn’t experience the symptoms above but you feel there’s something off with him or his digestion, take him to the vet to be on the safe side. Have your vet evaluate him especially if you’ve come from an outdoor trip with your dog.
Giardiasis Diagnosis in Dogs
Your vet may run several tests to confirm the presence of Giardia in your dog’s feces. And with that, two or more kinds of tests may be required to completely rule out other illnesses and confirm giardiasis. No two tests are the same, and each test has different levels of accuracy as analyzed in this study.
Diagnostic tests for giardiasis in dogs include the following:
1. Fecal examination
The vet will take samples of your dog’s fresh fecal matter and examine it using either of these three methods:
- Direct fecal smears
- Saline wet mount
- Fecal floatation by centrifugation
Your vet may require several consecutive samples since the giardia cysts are intermittently shed. One fecal test doesn’t guarantee that the cysts will immediately be seen and identified. Typically, vets may take three samples from your dog over 5-7 days.
2. Giardia ELISA Test
ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) test is a diagnostic exam that looks for a specific Giardia protein/antigen in the dog’s fecal matter. Your dog’s veterinarian may resort to this diagnostic exam in conjunction with fecal exams or if false-negative results arise from them. Qualitative ELISA and SNAP Giardia tests are the most common ones used.
3. Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA)
Fecal IFA is a serological test considered as the gold standard in diagnosing giardia in dogs. In IFA, Giardia antigens are detected by deploying fluorescently-labeled antibodies. The presence of antigens confirms that Giardia duodenalis is indeed on the fecal matter.
4. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
PCR is another alternative diagnostic test to detect giardiasis in dogs. The exam is done by checking the feces for Giardia’s DNA sequence. It’s a fast and sensitive way to detect giardiasis, although IFA is still generally more accurate and cost-effective.
Treatment Options for Giardia in Dogs
Healthy and asymptomatic Giardia-positive dogs often heal on their own and do not require any kind of treatment. However, it’s a good idea to have your asymptomatic dog treated when:
- You have other pets at home
- You have family members or pets with weakened immune systems
- You have kids and/or elderlies inside your home
- Your dog has too many cysts even if he’s asymptomatic
Here’s the catch, though: There’s no specific medication for Giardia. However, veterinarians often prescribe medications to help kill the parasite inside the dog’s body. These off-label medications include:
- Fenbendazole – Originally used as a dog deworming agent
- Metronidazole – An antibiotic used in giardiasis treatment for both dogs and humans
Metronidazole has been the gold standard in treating giardiasis in dogs. However, Giardia parasite tends to become resistant to the drug. Because of this, fenbendazole use is becoming more popular today. Fenbendazole also has fewer side effects than metronidazole, and it’s safe to use for pregnant or lactating dogs.
Some vets give combinations of these two drugs to dogs with severe diarrhea unresponsive to supportive treatment. The antibiotic course runs for three to ten days.
Other possible antibiotics your vet may prescribe include the following:
- A combination of febantel, praziquantel, and pyrantel
Your vet will inform you about how to give supportive care to your dog while he’s on antibiotics. Meanwhile, repeat fecal tests will be taken during the treatment course to check if the medications are effective at eliminating the Giardiasis parasites. Your dog will also be re-tested around 2-4 weeks after treatment completion to see if there’s no more trace of the parasites in his body.
Caring for Dogs with Giardiasis
Apart from the medications, you’ll need to give your dog supportive care to get him back on his feet. As you may already know, a dog with giardiasis may feel weak, have a poor appetite, and may experience weight loss and dehydration due to constant diarrhea. You can help your dog combat all these by doing the following:
1. Keep your dog well-nourished and hydrated.
Bring back your dog’s energy by giving him easily-digestible foods. Also, give him clean water to drink. Food that’s easy on the tummy will help your dog regain his strength and will replenish the nutrients and electrolytes lost during his diarrheal bouts. Keep his food and water bowls nearby and clean them after each use.
2. Bathe your dog regularly.
Promptly clean up your dog every time he moves his bowels. Give your dog a nice bath with pet shampoo every day as well. This ensures that all the Giardia cysts he sheds from his feces are thoroughly removed from his skin and coat.
3. Clean and disinfect the environment frequently.
Disinfect all potentially contaminated items as long as your pet is sick and under treatment. This includes linens, toys, water and food bowls, towels, floors, pet beddings, furniture, and other surfaces your dog has had contact with. Clean them every day as much as possible.
For cleaning, you may use regular soap, detergent, and carpet cleaning agents. Meanwhile, here’s what you need to use for disinfection:
- Hard surfaces – Quaternary ammonium compound products (QATS) or ¾ cup of bleach mixed with a gallon of water
- Carpets – QATS and steam-cleaning the carpeted area for a minute (100°C/212°F) or 5 minutes (70°C/158°F)
- Linen, beddings, and cloth toys – Washing as usual in the washing machine, then either heat-dried on the highest setting for 30 minutes or air-dried under direct sunlight
- Dishwasher-safe items like toys and water/food bowls – Disinfect items in a dishwasher with a final rinse or dry cycle with settings greater than the following:
- 162°F/72°C for 1 minute
- 122°F/50°C for 5 minutes
- 113°F/45°C for 20 minutes
Always use gloves when cleaning and disinfecting the environment and your dog’s things.
4. Pick up your dog’s stool right away.
If your dog is outdoors or in your yard, promptly remove his feces to avoid infecting the environment. Wear gloves, remove the stool, and place it in a secured plastic bag before throwing it away. Also, eliminate any standing water sources as much as possible. This includes unused fountains, puddles, and containers with water.
5. Limit your dog’s access to outdoor spaces while he’s still in treatment.
If you have several pets at home, limit your dog’s access to common outdoor spaces. Also, don’t allow younger pets to enter common outdoor spaces while your infected dog is still under treatment. Keep in mind that dogs and other pets can quickly be infected or reinfected despite your best efforts to clean the environment.
Preventing Giardiasis in the Future
Here are some ways to prevent your dog from contracting Giardia parasites in the future:
1. Ensure a steady supply of clean water.
Make sure your dog always has access to clean water wherever he is. Consider bringing some water from home if you’re headed outdoors or into the woods with your dog. That way, your dog won’t have to drink water that’s potentially untreated or contaminated with fecal matter from other animals.
2. Promptly clean up your dog’s stool in your yard or outdoors.
Remove your dog’s feces from the environment as soon as possible. Wear gloves and pick up his stool right away so that it cannot infect your yard or the outdoors. This applies even if your dog is already cleared from giardiasis.
3. Train your dog to stop eating poop.
If your dog is eating poop, train him to prevent this behavior. You can help your dog overcome this troubling behavior through a comprehensive behavior modification plan which includes obedience training and remote-device correction for older dogs . Clicker training is also an effective way to train your dog for obedience .
Giardia in dogs is a condition that results in diarrhea and intestinal disturbance. It can be tricky to diagnose the condition, but once it’s confirmed, you and your vet can give medications and supportive care to eliminate the parasites and improve your dog’s digestive health. Cleaning the environment, giving your dog clean sources of water and food, and training your dog to remove disturbing poop-eating behavior are some of the ways you can prevent giardiasis in the future.

Nearly half of U.S. physicians say language or other cultural barriers are obstacles to providing high-quality patient care, according to a study released by the Center for Studying Health System Change.
Forty-eight percent of all physicians in 2008 reported difficulties communicating with patients because of language or cultural barriers, and said they considered the situation at least a minor problem affecting their ability to provide high-quality care.
Less than 5%, however, viewed those barriers as a major problem that could result in a disparity of care across ethnic and racial populations, the study reported. Efforts to overcome the obstacles were considered modest or uneven.
The study, HSC Issue Brief–Modest and Uneven: Physician Efforts to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Disparities shows there is a great need to address the problem of language and cultural communication as the U.S. becomes more diversified, says James D. Reschovsky, PhD, senior health researcher for the Center for Studying Health System Change and co-author of the study. The study, sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, includes responses from more than 4,700 physicians and the response rate was 62%.
The issue takes on more urgency in the U.S. because an ever-increasing number of people speak a language other than English at home, according to Reschovsky.
"The challenges physicians face in providing quality healthcare to all of their patients will keep mounting as the U.S. population continues to diversify and the minority population grows," according to the study.
Efforts to reduce the language and cultural disparities face cost and reimbursement issues. "The tools most commonly adopted tend to be the least expensive to implement," the study said. "On the other hand, IT systems that can support reporting on patient care by race, ethnicity or language, as well as interpreter services, are expensive and less common."
Physicians may overstate their own ability in handling foreign languages. Physician interaction may involve a foreign language spoken by the patient, but the level of understanding on the part of the doctor may not be enough to carry out high-quality patient care, says Reschovsky.
"If a clinician is using high school Spanish to interpret for his Latino patients, it may not provide the level of communication you want in a clinical encounter," Reschovsky says. "There are also lots of patients who don't have an interpreter. Occasionally interpretation is provided by a family member and that is not necessarily the most optimum arrangement."
Levels of interpreter services among practioners should be drastically improved, according to Reschovsky. The study found that while nearly 97% of physicians have at least some non-English speaking patients, only 56% were in practices that provided interpreter services in 2008.
Mai Pham, MD, who works in Bread for the City, a Washington, DC-based clinic, says many physicians and patients face difficulties in overcoming language and cultural barriers, but often these problems aren't articulated—or can't be properly communicated. "Many patients are already feeling vulnerable because they have less information, less expertise, and less control. People can become afraid and insecure, " says Pham, who is also a senior health researcher at the Center for Studying Health Systems Change.
Healthcare providers have legal obligations to provide needed interpreter services, at least for patients with public insurance. However, physicians in solo and group practices were less likely to adopt measures to address disparities than those in institutional practices, such as hospitals, health insurers, and medical schools, according to the study.


Rеalеstatе are likе any othеr markеt and have еxpеriеncеscyclеs that еbb and flow ovеr timе. Undеrstanding thеsе cyclеs and thе factors that drivе thеm can bеthеkеy to making savvy invеstmеnt dеcisions. In this article, we will dеlvе into thе world of rеalеstatеcyclеs. Shеdding light on four distinct phasеs of the Stanley Bae project. It includes rеcovеry, еxpansion, hypеr supply, and rеcеssion.
Thе Rеal EstatеCyclе Unvеilеd
Rеalеstatеcyclеsarе fascinating pattеrns that rеpеatapproximatеlyеvеry 18 yеars, shaping thе landscapе of thе markеt. Thеsеcyclеs consist of four phasеs, еach with its unique characteristics:
- Rеcovеry: Thеrеcovеryphasе marks a pеriod of low dеmand, low pricеs, and high vacancy ratеs. It oftеn follows a rеcеssion and sеrvеs as thе starting point for thеcyclе’s upward trajеctory.
- Expansion: As thе markеtrе covеrs, it еntеrsthееxpansionphasе. Dеmandsurgеs, pricеsrisе, and vacancy ratеs drop. It is a time of growth and optimism for rеalеstatеinvеstors.
- Hypеrsupply: Thееxpansionphasееvеntuallygivеs way to thе hypеr supply phasе, charactеrizеd by ovеrsupply, falling pricеs, and incrеasing vacancy ratеs. This phasе can bеchallеnging for invеstors as compеtitionincrеasеs and propеrtyvaluеs dip.
- Rеcеssion: Finally, thе markеt hits thе rеcеssionphasе. Thеrе is an еxcеss of supply, but dеmandplummеts, lеading to low pricеs and high vacancy ratеs. It’s a pеriod of consolidation and a chancе for savvy invеstors to find opportunities amid thе downturn.
Thе Influеncе of Intеrеst Ratеs
Intеrеstratеs play a significant role in thе rеal еstatе markеt cyclе. Whеn intеrеst ratеs arе low, borrowing monеy bеcomеs morе affordablе, lеading to incrеasеd dеmand for rеalеstatе. As a result, pricеs tend to rise, and vacancy rates drop during thе еxpansion phasе. Stanley Bae is ready to make you aware of this real world of real estate.
Additionally, high intеrеstratеs can makе borrowing еxpеnsivе, which can curb thе dеmand for rеalеstatе. It lеad to falling pricеs during thе hypеr supply and rеcеssionphasеs. Thеrеforе, kееping an еyе on intеrеstratеtrеnds can hеlpinvеstorsanticipatеmarkеt shifts and adjust thеir stratеgiеs accordingly.
A Driving Forcе
Dеmographictrеnds stand as a driving force bеhindthееvеr-shifting landscapе of thе rеal еstatе markеt. Thе aging of thе baby boomеrgеnеrationsеrvеs as a prominеnt еxamplе, influеncing thе dеmand for spеcifictypеs of housing. As this substantial cohort еntеrsrеtirеmеntagе, thе nееd for rеtirеmеnthomеs and assistеd living facilitiеssurgеs. Undеrstanding such dеmographic shifts provides invеstors with a critical advantage, еnablingthеm to idеntify and capitalizе on еmеrgingopportunitiеs.
Morе ovеr, millеnnials for as anothе rеxamplе, impact housing prеfеrеncеs and urban dеvеlopmеnt. It leads to thе dеmand for morе affordablе and flеxiblе living arrangеmеnts. Rеcognizing and adapting to thе sееvolvingdеmographics is crucial for invеstors looking to stay ahеad in thе rеal еstatе markеt.
Govеrnmеntintеrvеntion plays a pivotal role in shaping thе dynamics of thе rеal еstatе markеt. Such intеrvеntionsеncompass a range of policiеs, incеntivеs, and rеgulations that can have a profound impact on rеalеstatеcyclеs. For instance, government initiativеs that promote homе ownеrship through tax incеntivеs, subsidiеs, or first-timеbuyеr programs can significantly boost dеmand for housing during thееxpansionphasе.
Convеrsеly, mеasurеs that imposеstrictеrlеndingrеgulations or propеrty taxation can influеncе thе markеt during thе hypеr supply and rеcеssion phasеs. Bеingattunеd to thеsе govеrnmеntal actions is еssеntial for rеalеstatеinvеstors, as thеy can еithеrstimulatе or tеmpеrinvеstmеntopportunitiеs and markеttrеnds.
Thе past oftеn holds thе kеy to thе futurе. Historical analysis of previous rеalеstatеcyclеs can provide invaluablе insights into potential future trends. Lеt’stakе a closеr look at thе 2008 financial crisis as an еxamplе. During this challеngingpеriod, thе rеal еstatеmarkеtеxpеriеncеd a rеcеssionphasеmarkеd by high supply, low dеmand, plummеtingpricеs, and soaring vacancy ratеs. It was a tough timе for invеstors, but thеcyclееvеntuallyturnеd.
The recession phase ended in 2010. After that, the market entered a recovery phase described by low demand, low prices, and high vacancy rates. This historical analysis suggests that thеrеalеstatеmarkеt is cyclical, and a rеcovеryphasе follows a rеcеssion. By rеcognizingthеsеpattеrns and conducting in-dеpth historical rеsеarch, invеstors can position thеmsеlvеs for succеss in futurеrеalеstatеcyclеs.
In thееvеr-еvolving world of rеalеstatе, undеrstanding thе intricatеdancе of markеtcyclеs is еssеntial for invеstors looking to thrivе. Stanley Bae suggests with a grasp of thе four distinct phasеs. Those are rеcovеry, еxpansion, hypеrsupply, and rеcеssion – and knowledge of thеinfluеntial factors likеintеrеstratеs, dеmographics, and govеrnmеntintеrvеntion. With this, invеstors can makеinformеddеcisions that yiеld high rеturns.

1 Whole of Government Approaches to Sovereignty & Security in the Arctic: The Canadian Coast Guard’s Perspective Mr. E. Wade Spurrell Director General, Operations Canadian Coast Guard
2 Whole-of-Government Approach to Arctic Sovereignty & Security As Canada’s civilian fleet, Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) vessels, systems and personnel are relied on to help fulfill safety, security, defence and environmental protection priorities in the Arctic. Canada’s whole-of-government approach to Arctic Sovereignty and Security aligns with the horizontal, collaborative approach to maritime security used for all Canadian waters and approaches. CCG is a core member of Canada’s maritime security community and collaborates with partners through a variety of fora to advance Arctic objectives: – Interdepartmental Marine Security Working Group (IMSWG); – Arctic Security Working Group / Northern Interdepartmental Intelligence Working Group; – North Atlantic Coast Guard forum; and – Canada-U.S. Maritime Stakeholders’ Conference.
3 Coast Guard’s Contribution to Arctic Sovereignty & Security Delivery of essential maritime services in northern waters: – Icebreaking, community re-supply, aids to navigation, SAR and Environmental Response capacity, Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA), support to partners’ Arctic priorities (e.g. science, hydrographic charting, fisheries enforcement, maritime security). – Demonstrates Canada’s ability to exert influence and maintain safety and security within its sovereign territory. Arctic Icebreaker Fleet: – Provides a visible Government of Canada presence in northern waters. – Leveraged by security and law enforcement partners for on-water response efforts, as needed. – Participates in northern security and sovereignty exercises, such as Operation Nanook. Vessel Traffic Management: – Collects and maintains vessel information on traffic within and approaching Canada’s northern waters. – NORDREG reporting via CCG’s Marine Communications and Traffic Services. – Leveraged by federal partners to support Arctic MDA.
4 Marine Security Operations Centres Marine Security Operations Centres (MSOCs) exemplify the collaborative, horizontal approach to advancing maritime security priorities throughout Canadian waters, including the Arctic. MSOCs see the co-location and collaboration of five federal partners (DND, RCMP, TC, CBSA and DFO/CCG) to monitor Canadian water and approaches, in order to detect and assess maritime security threats and support MDA overall. CCG Participation: – Personnel, expertise, vessel tracking and analysis capabilities are leveraged to support threat identification and assessment. – Long-Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT), Automatic Identification and Tracking (AIS), Information System on Marine Navigation (INNAV). MSOCs and the Arctic: – MSOCs provides Canada’s most comprehensive awareness of the Arctic maritime domain. – Daily sailing plans and position reports for vessels and Arctic Adventurers during the Arctic shipping season. – Tracking of specific Vessels of Interest.
5 Arctic Maritime Domain Awareness Assessment Arctic MDA is a whole-of-government priority: – Helps advance Canada’s objectives across a range of missions. – Requires inter-agency collaboration and leveraging of departments’ individual capabilities and expertise. The Arctic MDA Assessment is an interdepartmental initiative to identify and assess Canada’s MDA capabilities for northern waters. – CCG-led, with broad federal engagement (e.g. DND, TC, EC, AANDC, CSA, RCMP, CBSA) – A priority of Canada’s Interdepartmental Marine Security Working Group (IMSWG) The goal of the Assessment is twofold: – To develop a thorough understanding of Canada’s ability to identify, assess and support responses to, potential maritime threats in the Arctic; and – To determine potential ways to enhance Arctic MDA. Results are intended to support maritime security efforts in Arctic waters, and inform decisions on the deployment and development of MDA capacity there.
6 Northern Marine Transportation Corridors Marine transportation is a key enabler for economic and community development in the North. Corridors are shipping routes and/or areas within which key navigational information and services, such as icebreaking and aids to navigation, should be focused. The concept of corridors would serve as a pragmatic approach to Arctic investments. CCG, Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) and Transport Canada (TC) are currently exploring a concept to address this challenge: Northern Marine Transportation Corridors. CCG, CHS and TC are in the process of engaging and validating the corridors approach with key stakeholders.

Readying the onion rows
The first rows we pull every January are for onions. Here in Texas we grow only short-day varieties, meaning types that start to bulb when the length of daylight reaches 10-12 hours per day. The tops will start falling over at the end of May, at which point we'll harvest and spread them out on wire tables in the greenhouse to dry for a couple weeks. This is what it looked like last year.
The first thing we do is amend the rows to make a hospitable environment for our babies, which we did a couple weeks ago. We're currently using a formula of homemade compost, organic fertilizer, worm castings, and molasses. Then we pull the rows. This can be tricky... If you have a cover crop growing, you want it to grow as long as possible before you chop it in. However, if you get a series of rains, the dirt (I refuse to call it "soil" until it starts behaving like it) won't dry out enough to pull the rows by the time you need to get your plants in. When I say "pull" the rows, I'm talking about pulling this sucker behind the tractor.
It's pretty cool. Basically it works like this: as you drive down a row, the scoopy deal with the "2600" written on it gathers dirt and funnels it up into a bed. Those two rolls at the top are drip tape (through which we water the plants), which stream out as you drive along and get buried within the bed. The big wide roll of plastic is a mulch layer (it keeps moisture in and weeds down), and it's laid over the top of the bed, held down by the two wheels you see floating there and then buried by those discs on the back. It's awesome. In other words, in just minutes, it turns this:
All that's left is to set up the transplanter and start popping those puppies in! With the beautiful weather coming the next few days, that'll be a piece of cake.

If you've been noshing too much on junk food lately, it's time to get your butt off your couch. No, seriously.
A new study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that people who sit in front of the TV for stretches of time are more likely to consume more chips, cookies, candy, and soda. (Previous research has found that they tend to eat more than they normally would because they're distracted by what's on TV.)
For the study, researchers assigned 204 adults four different healthy behaviors—eating more fruits and veggies and exercising more frequently, eating less fat and sitting less, eating less fat and exercising more, and eating more fruits and veggies and sitting less.
Scientists discovered that when people were asked to do one behavior, it was easier for them to do other healthy behaviors. Participants were paid $175 each to stick with the lifestyle changes, but 86 percent reported sticking to a healthier lifestyle after the study was done and they weren't getting paid.
How does it work for the rest of us? If you find that it's easier for you to do one thing, like watching less TV, but it's harder for you to avoid junk food, focus on getting off your butt more. According to the research, it should be easier for you to steer clear of junk food in the process.

there are two other EH reverbs but I'm not sure if they're any more
interesting or just more hype. I'm not so interested in hall or room
reverbs as a good simulation of the classic spring reverb found in things
like the Space echo, SynthiA, or arp 2600. A small older unit might be an
option as well but I'm trying to avoid taking a 19" rack unit, a pedal on
the floor is perfect.

Foret Des Cedres, Bonnieux Reviews
Large forest and walking area with well signposted tracks and also a wheelchair mini-route. There are 3 coloured trails. I'd recommend the yellow for the view at the top but green is more relaxing to walk through the forest. Red trail is a there and back to the view point but much less climbing up an old river bed.
Nice walk. Beautiful forest. Easy to access by car and the walks are suitable for small children.
Great spot - You could be a million miles away. Great views.
Great place for a walk among the trees. Fantastic views across the valleys.
Very green and smelling great, the walks are not too hard but some of it is under the sun, so bring a hat, use sunscreen and/or water to drink and to cool down.

Marine from Omaha among those killed in Afghanistan
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The family of a 23-year-old Marine from Omaha said Friday he was among 13 U.S. service members killed in the suicide bombing attack at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan.
Corporal Daegan William-Tyeler Page served in the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment based at Camp Pendleton, California.
The family said Page was raised in Red Oak, Iowa, and the Omaha metro area and joined the Marines after graduating from Millard South High School.
He is mourned by his girlfriend, parents, stepmom and stepdad, four siblings and grandparents, the family said in a statement released through a family friend. The statement said the family did not wish to speak to the media at this time.
They said Page always looked forward to visiting his friends in Nebraska and planned to return home and go to a trade school, possibly to become a lineman, after his enlistment ended.
“Daegan will always be remembered for his tough outer shell and giant heart,” the statement said. “Our hearts are broken, but we are thankful for the friends and family who are surrounding us during this time. Our thoughts and prayers are also with the other Marine and Navy families whose loved ones died alongside Daegan.”
U.S. Rep. Don Bacon, a Republican from Nebraska, said in a statement that he was “heartbroken” to learn of Page’s death.
“No words can express the devastation, frustration, and sorrow his family is experiencing right now,” Bacon said. “I pray for the healing and comfort of his family and friends during this difficult time. Corporal Page is an American hero who gave the last full measure of devotion. He served his country honorably, and his service will never be in vain.”
