Triple B Care Projects, Inc. acknowledges the contribution of each of the following partners-in-care:
ANZ Interplast Val has taken many children and adults for reconstructive surgery, to the ANZ Interplast annual mission in Bagiuo since 2008. Those requiring more complicated surgery or facilities are brought to Australia where possible, working together the Children First Foundation.
Interplast exists to repair bodies and rebuild lives; its purpose is to provide life-changing surgery today and sustainable health systems tomorrow. Interplast is a not-for-profit organisation working to improve the quality of life for people who are disabled as a result of congenital or acquired medical conditions such as cleft lip and palate or burn scar contractures. Fully qualified Australian and New Zealand volunteer plastic and reconstructive surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and allied health professionals visit the Asia Pacific region to provide free surgical treatment for patients.
Children First Foundation is a Melbourne based not-for-profit charity. Their mission is to transform the lives of children who need us most by giving hope, exceptional care and pathways to a brighter future. The Foundation has a proud history built on the belief that excellent medical care is a basic right of every child regardless of where they are born.
Children First Foundation receive no government funding and rely on the generosity of donors, corporations, trusts and foundations. With this help from their people and their supporters, they’re able to bring children from developing countries to Australia for surgery that is not available in their country of birth. They also support disabled or chronically ill children in Australia by providing the ‘gap’ funding for equipment and services to improve their quality of life.
Dieter and Bettina Wulkow Foundation (Germany) This foundation chose Triple B Care projects as a beneficiary after German Tracheostomy specialist nurse Toni Wulkhow volunteered for 3 weeks in Val’s clinic in January 2014. In 2015 Toni returned with his partner Diana to volunteer again, this time bringing funds to buy a good car for Val’s use. Her then vehicle, a very old jeep had no handbrake or windows and was accidentally set on fire when some parts were being welded – ironically to make more leg room for the 6’5” tall Toni! Toni helped Val to choose the Toyota Revo, which is automatic, all electric and has air-con and music!! Bliss!!
Dieter & Bettina Wulkow Fdn is also helping a little girl, Sandy now 9yrs old and a patient of Val, who had her left arm amputated following an electrical burn in a local hospital when she was just 6yrs old. A child amputee specialist, Professor Machen from Hamburg has agreed to help Sandy by reconstructing her stump so she is better able to have a prosthetic arm fitted. Sandy and her mum will travel to Germany for this specialist surgery.
Helping Children Smile Val was a founding member of this Qld based organisation who have been sending medical missions to the Philippines since 1996. Since then HCS has helped restore the smiles and change the lives of over 900 children, who would otherwise not be able to afford access to such services. Continue reading here. In 2015 HCS donated two hospital beds,a mobile operating lamp and an autoclave to the Triple B Care clinic.
Helping Hands Healing Hearts Ministries rescues sick and dying Filipino children and gives them hope and practical help. Jesus Saves! They have offices in a local goverment hospital and make daily visits to the wards. They have a referral system to Val for the burns cases they find in need of assistance.

I remember my first forays into the baking world, which began with helping mum in the kitchen.
I'd stir the cake batter and help by fetching sugar or flour from the pantry. Back then I thought there were only 3 types of flour - plain, self raising and wholemeal. That's all we had in our pantry, and certainly all I remember seeing in the small, and only, supermarket in the town I grew up in.
As I got older I discovered beautiful rye and spelt flour breads along with buckwheat pancakes, and chickpea (besan) flour crepes. The cost of purchasing a lot of alternative flours is not cheap, and some of these flours need to be combined with others to ensure that the resulting cake that they are baked with is not to heavy, dry or crumbly.
Kamut (pronounced kah-MOOT) flour is one I've been wanting to try for some time because it behaves quite similarly to the regular wheat flour we all have in our pantries. So when I stumbled across bags [amazon_link id="B004O8I4D4" target="_blank" ]Bob's Red Mill Kamut Flour[/amazon_link] on sale at my local health food store I quickly snapped them up.
Kamut flour is made from Khorasan Wheat, an ancient relative to modern day wheat. It has a buttery, somewhat sweet nutty flavour and is higher in protein, b vitamins and minerals such as selenium, zinc and magnesium that modern wheat. Its also easier to digest than regular wheat.
While Kamut flour is made from Khorasan Wheat, the name Kamut is actually a trademark to guarantee certain qualities of the wheat and conditions under which it is grown. For example it it must always be organically grown, have a protein range of 12 - 18%, be 99% free of contaminating varieties of modern wheat, be 98% free of all signs of disease, contain a certain amount of selenium and not be used in products in which the use of the name is deceptive or misleading as to the content percentage.
I've made a couple of cakes now with Kamut flour, and love the buttery sweet taste and the beautiful golden hue it adds. This cake recipe uses a mix of Kamut flour and almond meal, along with pear, raspberries and cacao nibs. Its a beautiful cake to serve with a cup of tea or coffee in the afternoon, and its also wonderful toasted slathered with butter.
If you don't have Kamut flour (which you can find at health food stores or [amazon_link id="B004O8I4D4" target="_blank" ]online[/amazon_link]) you can substitute regular flour, however I do think its really worth tracking down and giving it a try.
Have you baked with kamut flour before? What is your favourite kamut flour recipe?
Raspberry, Pear and Cacao Nib Kamut Cake
- 100 g Kamut flour ⅔ cup
- 50 g almond meal ½ cup, almond flour
- 165 g sugar ¾ cup
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 185 g unsalted butter cut into cubes at room temperature, 6.5 oz
- ⅓ cup cacao nibs
- 1 pear peeled, cored, and cubed
- ¾ cup raspberries
- Place a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 180 celsius (350 fahrenheit). Line a 23cm (9 inch) by 9cm (3.5 inch) [amazon_link id="B001TO3CN8" target="_blank" ]loaf pan[/amazon_link] with parchment paper.
- Sift the flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
- Place the eggs in a bowl and whisk to combine. Add the butter and eggs to the flour and mix on a medium speed until just combined. Add the cacao nibs and fold through with a rubber spatula.
- Place ⅓ of the mixture into the loaf pan and scatter with ⅓ of the pear and raspberries. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Make sure the raspberries and pears you have scattered on top are pushed into the mixture otherwise they will burn.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out cleanly. If the cake is browning too quickly, cover with foil. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for about 10 minutes, then remove loaf from the pan and cool completely on the rack.

Looks beautiful. I love this cake. My little five year old baby also likes a cake very much. I wanted to make this and offer her on her coming birthday on 20th May. I hope, she will enjoy it greater. Thanks for posting this blog.
Gourmet Getaways says
My mom will adore this! I'm grateful you added this recipe. Perfect treat for Mom on Mother's Day!
Phoebe Lapine @FeedMePhoebe says
What a creative combination- I love the idea of combining cacao nibs with fruit to add a little bit of healthy chocolate. Looks delicious!
Thanks Phoebe 😀
Lily (A Rhubarb Rhapsody) says
cacao nibs are one of my guilt-free delights. I can't get enough of their texture. I'm sure they'd work beautifully alongside the raspberry and pear flavours.
I just started following your blog and it's fantastic. My daughter just became vegetarian and I had no idea what to feed her that the rest of the family could also enjoy. I made your mushroom wellington last week and it was solo good. I'll be making this cake this weekend. You’ve really got some amazing recipes! Keep ‘em coming
Iron Chef Shellie says
Oooo! I've had cacao nibs in my pantry for yonks and never really knew what to do with them. This looks like a fabulous option!
Thank you for this recipe. I was given a bag of kamut flour by my neighbour when she moved and I had no idea what to do with it. I made this cake yesterday except I didn't have any raspberries or nibs (I used chocolate chips instead) and it was delicious. Even my fussy 4 year old liked it. Thanks again.
Laura (Tutti Dolci) says
I haven't baked with kamut flour but this cake looks too good not to try. Love the pear and raspberry pairing!
I need to try baking with more exciting flours - I use a lot of wholewheat, buckwheat, chickpea and almond but have never tried kamut!
Tania @ The Cook's Pyjamas says
I bought a 5kg bag of grain from Bio-Distributors in Tasmania because I was finding it really difficult to buy flour in WA (and I have a grain mill 🙂 ). I haven't used loads but you've inspired me. Coincidentally I saw the Bob's Red Mill flour today in the local supermarket.
Valentina @Hortus says
I LOVE this cake! Pear and chocolate is one of my favorite combos ever, but I wouldn't have thought of adding raspberries too! Now we're off pear season, but I might try this soon all the same...
So, do you swear by Kamut flour? Do you really find it lighter? I tried it a couple times and never noticed a big difference with regular wheat. But it was also a period in which Kamut was sold and praised beyond reason and talked about with the same enthusiasm that surrounds the gluten-free craze today. This is why I never gave it much interest. If I tried it again today I might change my mind!
My brother's GF uses it a lot too, but she's also a person who buys everything that's labeled 'organic' without even knowing what she puts on her table (and she lives in a friggin' FARM), so I wouldn't trust her opinion 😛
The pear and raspberry combination mainly came about because I didn't have enough raspberries, and I had a pear begging to be used, so in the cake it went, as I hate waste. I actually quite liked the tartness of the raspberry against the honey flavour from the pear.
I wouldn't say the flour is lighter than regular wheat flour. It's a little heavier in texture (the raw flour reminds me of fine semolina in texture) but I liked that it was a little sturdier as I think it works well in a loaf cake and adds to the overall rustic nature. The golden colour it adds is also so pretty. 😀
I've read that kamut works quite well in pasta. That's next on my list to try!
Tania @ The Cook's Pyjamas says
Love it Jennifer. I love Kamut. I totally agree about the buttery flavour it adds to recipes. I grind my own as the flour is so difficult to buy, so find that resulting flour is better in biscuits and breads. It is lovely in biscuits replacing some or all of any wheat flour.
Thanks Tania 😀 That's wonderful that you grind your own. Where do you get your wheat from?

When it comes to maintaining our vehicles, our focus typically centers on essential tasks like oil changes, brake replacements, and tire condition checks. Yet, one crucial element in our vehicles often goes unnoticed—the dashboard, specifically, the instrument cluster. This holds immense significance as it provides you with constant, up-to-the-minute information about your vehicle’s operation and the current driving conditions.
Picture this: You’re cruising down the highway, and suddenly, your speedometer drops to zero, even though you were previously traveling at 60 miles per hour. Or your fuel gauge shows empty right after you fill up the tank. These are signs that something’s gone wrong with your instrument cluster. It’s not just annoying; it can be seriously unsafe.
The instrument cluster, found on your car’s dashboard, includes essential components like the speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, and temperature gauge. Over time, it may require replacement, and you may ponder choosing between the original manufacturer’s option or more economical aftermarket alternatives. Let’s explore this choice.
Why the Instrument Cluster Is Important
Before delving into the topic of instrument cluster replacement, it’s essential to understand the significant role they play in a vehicle. Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning that InstrumentSales specializes in electronic and mechatronic components, which are crucial elements found within the instrument cluster and vehicle electronics.
The instrument cluster in your car serves as the central hub for important vehicle information, allowing you to stay informed while keeping your focus on the road. It provides essential data such as speed, fuel levels, engine temperature, and more.
Safe driving hinges on precise instrument cluster data. Having knowledge of your speed enables you to operate your vehicle safely, adhere to speed limits, and thereby reduce the risk of accidents and traffic violations.
The instrument cluster serves as a vital tool for alerting drivers to potential vehicle issues. Rapid increases in engine temperature or sudden fuel gauge declines can be early indicators of significant problems.
Now that we’ve underscored the crucial role of the instrument cluster, let’s delve into the topic of OEM replacement parts.
OEM vs. Aftermarket Parts
What Are OEM Parts?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts originate from the same company that designed and built your car. They are specifically tailored to fit your vehicle with precision, adhering to all required specifications. These parts uphold the same high-quality standards as the originals. When you choose OEM parts, you can have confidence in their reliable performance and seamless integration into your vehicle.
The Downsides of Aftermarket Parts
Now, on the other side, we’ve got aftermarket parts which are manufactured by companies other than the car manufacturer. Sometimes, compared to OEM parts, they may not measure up in terms of quality or precision. While they can often be cheaper, there are some risks involved in using aftermarket instrument clusters:
Compatibility Issues: Aftermarket instrument clusters may not fit perfectly in your vehicle, leading to issues with installation and functionality.
Inconsistent Quality: The quality of aftermarket parts can vary significantly, making it challenging to ensure reliability and accuracy.
Warranty Concerns: Installing aftermarket parts can void your vehicle’s warranty, leaving you responsible for any future repairs.
Why Investing in OEM Replacement is Wise
Here’s why quality—and opting for OEM—truly matters.
Precision and Accuracy
The primary reason for an instrument cluster is to relay accurate information to the driver. A good or imprecise instrument can lead to better decisions on the road. For instance, if your speedometer isn’t correct, you might inadvertently speed up and put yourself and others in danger or risk getting a ticket.
OEM replacements are built to the exact specifications of your vehicle. These parts have undergone rigorous testing and calibration to ensure they function just as the original. Aftermarket parts, while sometimes cheaper, may sometimes have different levels of precision and quality control.
Compatibility and Fit
Every car model is unique, with its distinct specifications and requirements. OEM parts are designed for your vehicle model, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless integration. On the other hand, aftermarket parts are often designed to fit a range of vehicles, leading to potential compatibility issues.
An ill-fitting instrument cluster can lead to visual misalignments, making it hard to read the gauges. Worse, if the electrical connectors are a better match, it can lead to malfunctions or even short circuits.
Longevity and Durability
OEM replacements use the same high-quality materials as the original ones. This makes them built to last, so you won’t have to change them out constantly. Choosing a lower-quality aftermarket part may seem cost-effective in the short run. Still, replace it sooner than you’d like.
Retaining Vehicle Value
Maintaining its original components can be a selling point for those considering selling or trading in their vehicle. Prospective buyers often look for cars that have been held with OEM parts as it speaks to the care and attention the previous owner has given the car.
Peace of Mind
Let’s remember the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’ve picked a custom-made part for your vehicle. When you go for an OEM instrument cluster replacement, you can drive confidently, assured that all the information it provides is accurate and trustworthy.
The Consequences of Choosing Lower-Quality Replacements
One of the most significant risks of opting for a lower-quality instrument cluster replacement is inaccurate information. Imagine your new cluster can’t accurately show your speed, fuel, or temperature. That leaves you in the dark while driving, which can be dangerous and expensive.
As mentioned earlier, aftermarket instrument clusters may not fit your vehicle perfectly. These compatibility issues can lead to problems such as malfunctioning gauges, warning lights, or even electronic glitches, which can be both frustrating and time-consuming to rectify.
The durability of your instrument cluster is directly tied to its quality. OEM replacements are built with longevity in mind, guaranteeing consistent performance over the years. Opting for a lower-quality substitute could result in frequent replacements and extra costs.
Your car’s instrument cluster is very important as it ensures you stay informed and safe while driving. We should always focus on quality when considering a replacement. Going for an OEM replacement guarantees accuracy, compatibility, and durability. It also helps preserve your vehicle’s worth and provides peace of mind.
Remember, sometimes the actual cost isn’t just in the price tag but in the potential long-term implications of choosing a lower-quality part. Quality truly matters regarding the instrument cluster—a component you rely on every time you drive.

He clarified the perception that the action was not being taken only against illegal Afghani immigrants.
It was being taken against all citizens of the world living illegally in the province.
Nawaz said that the crackdowns were being carried out across the country against illegal immigrants, and it was a unanimous policy, which the Sindh province was also adhering to.
He further said that due course was being followed in the deportation process.
He said that 1218 cases of illegal immigrants were pending in jails in the province.
The Home Minister said that illegal immigrants lived more in KP and Balochistan than in Sindh province.
The Home Minister linked the peace in the city to the deportation of illegal immigrants.
He said that they were trying to make Karachi a crime-free city.
Nawaz said that they were also cracking down against the drug peddlers, who were selling drugs in educational institutions.
Replying to a question regarding the operation against dacoits in the Kacha areas of the province, he said that the operation in the Kacha and Pakka areas of the province was being carried out simultaneously.

Hey blog world! Today Writing 101 asked me to describe a life changing experience with a book. As you all know, I’m dating a superstar! My sweet boyfriend Glen is a gentleman with a heart of gold and he constantly makes me proud of him! “The Cat In The Hat” was the first book he read to me and I’ll never forget that day. It was incredible!
One night, several months ago I was watching TV and the phone rang. I’ll never, ever forget that call. It was Glen and his voice was full of excitement. He said he had something to tell me. I eagerly asked him what it was. “I read “The Cat In The Hat” by myself!” I couldn’t believe what I’d heard! This was a huge accomplishment for him because he has downs syndrome and struggled with reading. I was prouder than ever before! I wished he was there with me so I could have wrapped him in a huge hug!
His grandpa came on the phone and said “I’ve got to say, I’m very thankful you’re his girlfriend. You played a part in this.” I was like “I did?” “Yes.” he said and he told me that ever since I helped Glen learn his lines for “Little Billy: My God Is So Big” (a skit we performed at our Special Olympics teams sleepover) he had been eager to continue learning to read. He picked up a copy of “The Cat In The Hat” at a thrift store, brought it home and read it out loud to his grandpa! It made me feel wonderful that I encouraged him to practice reading and he wants to continue! I was so happy that I fostered a love of reading and a want to learn in Glen.
I really wanted to witness Glen’s new skills for myself so I took him on a reading date to Chapters. We got hot chocolate and cookies at the in-store Starbucks then picked out books to read to each other. I of course chose “The Cat In The Hat” for him to read to me, and for me to read to him, we chose “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats” by T.S Elliot. We sat down with our books and I asked Glen to go first. I was amazed! He needed little help from me and read the big words with ease! I was so proud! I gave him a big hug, told him how proud I was of him and said he was a superstar at reading!
Glen has read to me on several other occasions recently and each time I become prouder and prouder of him! He’s becoming more and more of a superstar at reading. He wants another Chapters date soon so I will certainly make that happen. I would really like to have one around Christmas time so we can enjoy Christmas stories together!
How has a book changed your life? Tell me in the comments!

Savic's 'dream comes true' with £6m City move
England is 'place to be' says Montenegrin excited to be united with fellow Balkans players, Kolarov and Dzeko
Thursday 07 July 2011
Manchester City completed their second signing of the summer yesterday, with centre-back Stefan Savic signing a four-year deal for a fee of £6m. Twenty-year-old Savic, a Montenegrin international, is the second defender to join City this week as Roberto Mancini starts to prepare his squad for Champions League football next season.
Savic, formerly of Serbian champions Partizan Belgrade, can play at right-back or centre-back. With Kolo Touré banned for the start of the new season, and Jerome Boateng subject to interest from Bayern Munich, Savic will provide necessary support to the defence. Gaël Clichy, bought from Arsenal for £7m earlier this week, will provide competition to Aleksandar Kolarov and Pablo Zabaleta at left-back.
Yesterday's purchase brings to three the number of City players from the former Yugoslavia. Savic is excited at the prospect of playing with the Serbian Kolarov and Bosnian Edin Dzeko. "It is a dream come true and I'm especially looking forward to meeting Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Kolarov because they both speak my language and come from the Balkans, too," Savic said. "Aleks has already phoned me to welcome me to City which makes me feel at home already.
"I watch the Premier League all the time and I know it's the place to be so I am just looking forward to helping this club achieve great things. We have an incredible stadium and I've seen how passionate the City fans are many times on TV."
After two defensive signings, City are likely to move their attention to attacking players. While there is an interest in Arsenal's Samir Nasri, a deal for the midfielder is not imminent. The Frenchman has only one year left on his Arsenal contract and is stalling on signing an extension.
City's pursuit of strikers will only be intensified should Carlos Tevez get his wish of a move away from Manchester. A natural replacement for Tevez, in terms of playing style, would be Ezequiel Lavezzi of Napoli. Lavezzi is a 26-year-old Argentinian forward with a similar physique and skill set to Tevez.
While there had previously only been speculation of an approach for Lavezzi, the agent of City manager Roberto Mancini yesterday confirmed that City's interest in Lavezzi was real, but suggested that Napoli's asking price might be prohibitive. "Manchester City's interest in Lavezzi could be a reality," Giorgio de Giorgis told Italian radio. "[City] has been negotiating for the past few months with Napoli, regardless of Tevez's situation. City has spoken to Napoli about Pocho [Lavezzi]. "But €31m (£27.9m) for Lavezzi, it's excessive. However, to find a player who is ready like Pocho is, it's not easy."
As a means of enabling a deal for Lavezzi, De Giorgis suggested that City might include a player in part-exchange, and mooted the possibility of Gareth Barry switching Manchester for Naples. "Manchester City could include a player in the deal, but I don't know what player could interest Napoli," Mancini's agent said. "The only one could be [Gareth] Barry, who is an England international and does not have a high salary."

Troughs, which contain within them, something so much more powerful. In the recesses of those lines, invisible to the naked eye, exists a first and last name. Daniel Lasprilla. Daniel, passed away at the tender age of 23. It seems almost laughable that someone could pass away at 23. An age in which you 're finally thrust into the world. A time in which you should be planning trips half-way-round the world. An age in which you fall in love. An age in which you have your whole life in front of you. But his passing came in that very golden age. And in the moments following his death, in those moments, that at a glimpse seem ordinary, mundane, perfunctory, in those same moments, that subsume even the wildest of imaginations, I couldn’t seem to find any closure. I saw the world around me and was disillusioned. Even my dream of becoming a doctor, after this tragedy, seemed to lose all luster.
As I settled into a quiet existence, relationships, much like my school work, were neglected. And as the mercury dropped, my heart froze. I soon became an ice queen, the condensation left my lips in wisps even on the warmest of days. Nevertheless, medicine, was the mistress I could never resolve to leave, a whisper on winter nights that left me uneasy. And though I had other interests, other talents, none were enough. Nothing ever seemed to be enough. Medicine

Current approaches for long-term groundwater monitoring programs rely on water sampling and analysis using traditional decades-old protocols that are time-consuming and costly. Complying with the requirements of these monitoring programs comprise a significant portion of life-cycle remediation costs for the Department of Defense (DoD). This project involved basic research on an alternative groundwater sampling approach—vapor-phase groundwater monitoring—that relies on a different set of physical processes and analytical instruments to provide reliable and accurate long-term monitoring for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) more rapidly and at a lower overall cost. The objective was to evaluate the utility of on-site vapor-phase analysis of samples from a groundwater monitoring well as an alternative to off-site analysis of groundwater samples.
All investigations completed as part of this project were designed to test the principle that the VOC concentration measured in a vapor-phase sample in equilibrium with affected groundwater can be used to accurately determine the VOC concentration in the associated groundwater at or below maximum contaminant levels (MCLs). Two key hypotheses were developed to support this principle: (1) Portable vapor-phase monitoring instruments can be used to accurately determine VOC concentrations in water under equilibrium conditions; and (2) In-well mixing is sufficient in some or all groundwater monitoring wells to establish equilibrium partitioning conditions between affected groundwater and in-well headspace vapors. These hypotheses were tested through a series of laboratory and field-based programs, consisting of a laboratory-based study to validate analytical equipment and to identify promising methods, three distinct phases of field-based studies to test various sampling and collection methods and to examine design and well-specific factors that influenced performance, and a combined modeling-field study that focused on the influence of seasonal temperature gradients on vertical stratification of concentration within monitoring wells. A variety of vapor-phase sampling and/or analysis techniques were tested, including direct sampling and analysis from the headspace of a capped monitoring well; several different permutations of submerged passive vapor diffusion samplers, all of which are gas-permeable but water tight; and “field equilibration” of groundwater (collected using low-flow techniques) in a vial, followed by on-site analysis of the equilibrated headspace. A combination of quantitative methods was used to evaluate vapor-phase based concentration data to more conventional (baseline) groundwater concentration data. These evaluation methods and metrics included linear regression, relative percent difference, coefficient of variation, ANOVA, and parametric and non-parametric statistical tests for significance. The vast majority of the validation data were collected in the field, with approximately 1,100 concentration datapoints collected during the various field programs.
The project findings confirmed that existing field-portable vapor-phase monitoring equipment are sufficiently accurate, precise, and sensitive for calculating equivalent VOC concentrations in groundwater. Specifically, a field-portable gas chromatograph (GC) demonstrated the highest performance of the analytical devices that were tested. Alternative field instruments for vapor-phase analysis—a simple PID-based handheld meter and the HAPSITE with GC/MS capabilities—were also tested during one or more of the field programs. These instruments did not perform as strongly as the field GC with respect to accuracy and precision, although the HAPSITE did prove useful in terms of identifying a higher number of constituents at lower detection limits. Vapor-phase sampling and analysis methods proved easy to implement and can be tailored to site-specific needs, including multi-level sampling. Collecting vapor samples from the well headspace was not an effective method for determining groundwater concentrations under the tested conditions. In part, this was due to the influence of some degree of vertical stratification of concentrations within the well network, such that the vapor sample collected from the well headspace was in equilibrium with water that was typically not representative of the water collected for low-flow sampling. Instead, low-flow groundwater concentrations could be most reasonably estimated using submerged passive vapor diffusion samplers or field equilibration of collected groundwater. Because these latter two methods collect samples within the screened interval of the well, they are not as reliant on in-well mixing to overcome stratification as is the simpler headspace method. A combination of modeling and field data were used to show that seasonal temperature gradients have the potential to contribute significant variability to monitoring data, including both conventional and vapor-phase based methods. In particular, they can promote or diminish vertical stratification within the well during different periods. Of the other well and aquifer-specific factors that were investigated, only the presence of a confining aquifer significantly contributed (negatively) to variability. A year-long, multi-event evaluation demonstrated that vapor-phase based monitoring methods are no more variable than conventional groundwater monitoring methods, with both types subject to similar spatial and temporal variability that can be difficult to reduce.
What Was Learned
What Doesn’t Work
Things to Watch Out For
The development of reliable vapor-phase based monitoring approaches is designed to aid DoD with several key goals in long-term monitoring optimization. First, it entails a less cost and time-intensive method for analyzing specific contaminants of concern, including most chlorinated hydrocarbons. Further, it can utilize inexpensive and cost-effective tools during the data collection process. Finally, it represents a simple approach that would be easy to implement at a majority of DoD sites nationwide. All of these factors work to significantly reduce the cost liabilities associated with groundwater monitoring while providing a more sustainable long-term approach.
Extensive cost modeling demonstrated that groundwater monitoring could be completed at a cost savings of at least 36% when on-site vapor-based monitoring was completed using a rented GC. This represents a savings of several hundred dollars per sample for typical monitoring programs. Sensitivity analysis was used to examine the impact of the number of samples per event and per well on overall cost. In particular, using passive vapor samplers to perform multi-level monitoring (i.e., increasing the number of samples per location) shifts the economics sharply in the favor of vapor-phase based methods. The vapor-phase monitoring methods are straightforward and can be implemented by DoD and other stakeholders with limited additional training and expense. Consequently, there are no technical limitations for larger-scale use.

Texas abortion bill falls after challenge
CHRIS TOMLINSON, Associated Press
JIM VERTUNO, Associated Press
AUSTIN (AP) — Despite barely beating a midnight deadline, hundreds of jeering protesters helped stop Texas lawmakers from passing one of the toughest abortion measures in the country.
As the protesters raised the noise to deafening levels in the Texas Senate chamber late Tuesday, Republicans scrambled to gather their colleagues at the podium for a stroke-of-midnight vote.
“Get them out!” Sen. Donna Campbell shouted to a security guard, pointing to the thundering crowd in the gallery overhead that had already been screaming for more than 10 minutes.
“Time is running out,” Campbell pleaded. “I want them out of here!”

A “Safety Alert for Operators” (SAFO 09004) from 2/11/09 says.
Slow the aircraft to a fast walking speed on the centerline of the landing runway prior to attempting to exit the runway. Taxi at a fast walking speed until parked at the ramp or until aligned with the centerline of the runway for takeoff.
Since it’s not clearly defined by the FAA, it’s assumed that most airlines limit taxi speeds via their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Also, due to the variety of equipment, it might be unfeasible for the FAA to mandate a specific speed.

The University of Bristol is home to the largest quantum entanglement-based computer network in the world. Its Quantum Engineering Technology Lab, led by Dr. Siddarth Joshi, has been spearheading the development of a method of encryption called Quantum Key Distribution that may soon revolutionize information security.
First, what is quantum computing, exactly? (Giving a concise answer to that question is sort of like nailing jelly to a wall, but here it goes…)
Much like a light switch, a conventional computer circuit can only be in one of two states at a time: On (1) or off (0). That’s basically how binary code works – by representing information as a series of discrete on and off signals, or high and low energy states.
Quantum computing makes use of a third kind of state that exists between those two.
Think about it this way: If classical, binary computing models rely on energy states of “yes” and “no” to communicate data, quantum computing introduces a state of “maybe.”
This is because at the quantum level, the photons that make up the information in a quantum computer can exist in multiple places (or energy states, if you prefer) at once – a phenomenon known as “entanglement.”
Entangled photons cannot be observed or measured (i.e., tampered with) without changing their state and destroying the information they contain. That means quantum computer networks are virtually hack proof compared to traditional networks.
This is where Dr. Joshi’s team is changing the game.
While previous attempts to build a secure quantum computer network have been limited to just two machines, the QET Lab has been able to establish a quantum encrypted network between eight machines over a distance of nearly eleven miles.
As Dr. Joshi puts it, “until now, building a quantum network has entailed huge cost, time, and resource, as well as often compromising on its security which defeats the whole purpose. […] By contrast, the QET Lab’s vision is scalable, relatively cheap and, most important of all, impregnable.”
If it can be successfully scaled up further, quantum encryption has countless potential civic applications, such as providing security for voting machines, WiFi networks, remote banking services, credit card transactions, and more.
In order for an entire population to be able to utilize a quantum network, fiber optic infrastructure must first be made accessible and affordable for everyone to have in their homes.
In that sense, quantum cities are still roughly two decades away, posits Dr. Joshi. The technology behind it is very nearly mature, though.
A simpler application of quantum encryption is practically right around the corner – think quantum ATMs in as few as five years.

Inspired by all facets of art and its constant evolution from exposure to outside influences, Oscar Glottman inexhaustibly seeks all types of art during his travels. This keeps his designs fresh, invigorated and reinforces his guiding design philosophies. The Colombian-born architect had been trained in classic, traditional design in Miami before leaving for London to further his training. While studying there, he literally had an eye-opening experience.
He discovered different forward-thinking design perspectives and the ideas struck a cord within him. Developing a unique “edge,” he broadened his design scope on the ideal that there is an indisputable relationship between all components of construction and how they can transcend the general attitude of architecture and interior design.
In 1988 He opened Oscar Glottman Designs as a full service architecture firm with interior capabilities. Seeking to broaden his clients’ resources for quality, contemporary components, in 2001 he opened a showroom that included what his clients had demanded but what was, at times, scarce. His firm has evolved into an architecture firm and design store with in-house licensed architects who assure the most professional backup in specification of design products and systems. This enables the firm to offer the entire gamut of specialized services from home design — to implementation — to interior design as each part is inherently related.
as a contemporary designer, he realizes Oscar is saddled with the responsibility of shifting
any misconceptions one might have regarding modern, contemporary design. It is a difficult genre, and
when done incorrectly can convey a cold, discomfort. Oscar is very passionate about explaining that
contemporary means “of right now.” There has been an amazing revolution in contemporary design of
which Oscar is excited to be a part. Contemporary design “now absorbs life and becomes comfort.”
He works with the architectural space inside out, in essence “backwards.” In his opinion architecture is “the product of the analysis of people’s living spaces.” How does the client want the room to feel? How will the client live in each room? His designs make the most use of space and are designed for total use, floor to ceiling. The biggest differences in design architecture can be captured by lighting, either by strategically placed windows or quality lighting fixtures.
Miami offers the perfect canvas for Oscar’s work. With many seasonal residents choosing to have a home in the area, condominium living is at all-time popularity. This is where Oscar can flex his design muscles. With careful attention to detail and respect to scale, he designs as well on 1,500 square-foot condominiums as 7,000 square-foot estates, demonstrating his flexibility.
The world of architecture and design has taken notice. Recently, Oscar Glottman was named as one of South Florida’s top 10 designers by Florida Inside Out magazine.

J Balvin, who is quarantining in Colombia, released "Un Día (One Day)" on Thursday. The star-studded collaboration features Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny and Tainy. The song is accompanied by a black-and-white music video, directed by Stillz and features Spanish actress Úrsula Corberó.
Farruko also dropped a new single and music video, “La Tóxica.” The song was composed by the Puerto Rican singer, along with Sharo Towers, K4G and Ghetto. Farruko has been keeping busy over the past couple of months, collaborating on a variety of projects with folks like Ricky Martin, Tito El Bambino, Reik and Camilo.
Capó has also been creating new music. He’s currently working on a new album scheduled to come out later this year. He released a new single and video for “La Sábana y los Pies,” a song he calls “prophetic.” The music video was shot in a home in Miami with a small crew and directed by Ruben Martin.
Meanwhile, Becky G, Willie Gomez, Rauw Alejandro, Jowell y Randy and Ozuna also released new tracks this month. See all the music videos below.

After their dispiriting loss to Cardiff at the weekend, more bad news for Edinburgh that captain Mike Coman is moving to London Irish on a three year deal at the end of the season, following Matt Scott as the latest name to head for the exit at BT Murrayfield. Coman has been club captain in two seasons with 48 appearances for the club during which time Edinburgh got to a European Challenge Cup final and back-to-back 1872 Scottish Cup wins.
Edinburgh already have a more impressive match-day replacement waiting in the shape of Nasi Manu (proven leader, Kiwi, back row) if he can recover his fitness, but who will take over the role as club captain is more open to debate. Grant Gilchrist is an obvious choice, as perhaps would be Ross Ford or Cornell du Preez, or indeed (Super 15 final winning captain) Manu in time. Both Jamie Ritchie and Magnus Bradbury have been age-grade captains but are too young, while Stuart McInally captained Scotland at under-17, under-18, under-19 and under-20 level and could be a prime candidate if Fordy wasn’t stopping him from being in the team.
In happier news, Mark Bennett has been passed fit to train fully ahead of this weekend’s Calcutta Cup match, as has Sean Maitland who played for London Irish in their loss to Sale last weekend. It now looks like a straight shootout between Bennett and Duncan Taylor (who played on the wing for Saracens most recently) for the 13 shirt outside Matt Scott, with the loser likely to take a bench utility spot – his usefulness could go against Taylor in that regard.

Her unique one woman plays have helped redefine modern theatre.
Letters to a Young Artist
It turned out to be this incredible place, American Conservatory Theatre, and ended up getting an advanced degree there. So I think that the connection of art to politics is that artists, if so inclined, have the opportunity to be kind of a shadow of the real world and a shadow of politics and ask questions, important questions, which means that we need to be educated, we need to be in the world and not away from the world, some of us.
As uncool as you can possibly be. This is one of the best books I have ever read on preparing for and working in the arts. Read it Forward Read it first.
It ended up feeling like a mix between a watered down ,etters and a self-help book. It’s full of tough love, direct advice, useful anecdotes, and plain old inspiration.

Anna Deavere Smith’s ‘Letters to a Young Artist’ : NPR
A loosely organized collection of musings on working in the arts. And you also mentioned James Baldwin, who you served while you were a struggling actor?
This seems counterintuitive to I saw this book in Borders last night and read half of it in one sitting. Young artists — Conduct of life — Miscellanea. Another part that interested me was Youung recommendation to her students in the wake of a school tragedy. Small Victories Anne Lamott. The tone struck me as being very much born from a woman who has “made it” and gained so much respect and success in her career.
Or Are you becoming an artist because you would like to use your ability to attract attention– and the ability to get people to look at your work–in order to cause them to see themselves and the world differently through you? That it is enough tp be alive and interested in the world and asking questions about it.
From the Trade Paperback edition. Some of the letters didn’t speak to me, some felt like I’d need to return to them in a few years or a dozen, and others lit me up. You can’t teach inspiration.

Smith has written it in the form of a series of letters to an imaginary young artist named BZ, who ostensibly won her mentorship in an auction.

Call to Awareness: Sign Petition and Contact your Legislators!
public about the relative risks associated with e-cigarette use.
The FDA has announced that in April it will issue guidance on e-cigarettes and will regulate them as tobacco products. Depending on its approach, the FDA could effectively decimate the e-cigarette industry through excessive regulations. In light of the actions of the FDA to date, vapers should hold little hope that the FDA's proposed regulations will be reasonable.
We need to take every opportunity to voice our concerns to those who are in a position to put pressure on the FDA, namely, the White House and Congress:
1. Sign the petition before February 13th at: http://wh.gov/E2hF
But don't stop there!
2. Go to http://whoismyrepresentative.com/ and identify your senators and representatives in Congress. Fill out the provided web-based contact form, call, and send letters to your legislators letting them know:
• How e-cigarettes have positively impacted your life.
• You are concerned about the FDA’s announcement that it plans to issue a deeming regulation that would apply all of the restrictions within the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009 ("Tobacco Act") to e-cigarettes and other tobacco products. http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/PublicHealthFocus/ucm252360.htm
• Many of the Tobacco Act provisions, written with tobacco cigarettes in mind, are inappropriate for other tobacco products.
• Refusing to allow sale of products introduced after February of 2007 may force all of the most effective e-cigarettes off the market.
• You want legislation that will require the FDA to conduct an extensive study of the relative health risks of all tobacco and nicotine products before it can issue a deeming regulation under the Tobacco Act.
Please take the time to let your congressional representatives and the White House know how important it is that the FDA is required to regulate e-cigarettes lightly and reasonably!
3. Sign up for the CASAA member mailing list at: http://casaa.org/Become_a_Member.html
Watch your email and the CASAA News Blog for another Call to Action in about 2 1/2 months regarding actual submission of comments to the FDA regarding these "deeming regulations." Submitting public comments, once the FDA announces its intended regulations of electronic cigarettes in April, will be the most important action CASAA members and vapers will have to make to date.
It will be imperative to get hundreds of thousands of e-cigarette consumers and those who support them and Tobacco Harm Reduction policies to actually submit comments directly to the FDA this coming April, so please be ready to act!!

How do you prevent squash disease?
Prevention & Treatment: To manage this disease, avoid overhead irrigation if possible or water in the early morning hours when leaves are already wet with dew. Remove and destroy old cucurbit vines and residues since this is where the fungus survives the winter.
What prevents mosaic virus?
To control the spread of TMV, farmers must: wash their hands after handling infected plants. wash tools that have come into contact with infected plants in detergent or bleach. rotate the crops they grow in a contaminated field – they must not grow tobacco or tomato plants in the field for at least two years.
How can we control yellow mosaic virus?
Seeds are to be treated with insecticides like carbosulfon at 30gm or monocrotophos at 5ml per one kg seed before sowing. Follow crop rotation and maintain soil health management. Grow suitable region wise resistant varieties. Use seeds collected from disease-free plants.
Can you eat yellow squash with mosaic virus?
Are squash and melons affected by mosaic virus safe to eat? “Yes,” says Nebraska Food Safety Educator Carol Larvick, citing information from Minnesota Extension. “These viruses are specific to plants and do not harm humans.
Does mosaic virus stay in soil?
Unlike TMV (tobacco mosaic virus), CMV is not seedborne in tomato and does not persist in plant debris in the soil or on workers’ hands or clothing. The occurrence of this virus is erratic and unpredictable; consequently, control of this disease can be difficult.
Can plants recover from virus?
Virus-induced diseases cause severe damages to cultivated plants resulting in crop losses. Interestingly, in some cases, the diseased plants are able to re-gain health, further grow and develop normally.
How do you control plant viruses?
Disease control is based on two strategies: i) immunization (genetic resistance obtained by plant breeding, plant transformation, cross-protection, or others), and ii) prophylaxis to restrain virus dispersion (using quarantine, certification, removal of infected plants, control of natural vectors, or other procedures).
How do you treat a virus in plants?
Unfortunately, there are no chemical controls for plant virus diseases. Dig up and dispose of affected plants – to prevent it from spreading to other plants.
Which crop is generally affected by mosaic disease?
mosaic, plant disease caused by various strains of several hundred viruses. A number of economically important crops are susceptible to mosaic infections, including tobacco, cassava, beet, cucumber, and alfalfa.

Poly-crystal ZnO films with c-axis (002) orientation have been successfully grown on the lead-based ceramic substrates by r.f. magnetron sputtering technique. The deposited films were characterized as a function of deposition time and argon-oxygen gas flow ratio. Crystalline structures of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Highly oriented films with c-axis normal to the substrates can be obtained by depositing under a total pressure of 10mTorr containing 50% argon and 50% oxygen and r.f. power of 70W for 3 hours. The phase velocity, electromechanical coupling coefficient and temperature coefficient of frequency of SAW device with ZnO/IDT/PT-ceramic structure were investigated. It shows that the preferred oriented ZnO film is beneficial for improving the electromechanical coupling coefficient of SAW device.

Reuters hacked to display messages in favor of the Syrian government
A Twitter account and one of the blogs from the Reuters News agency were hacked over the weekend by pro-government propagandists Syria. Using the account @ ReutersTech, attackers posted dozens of messages announcing the victory against rebels in the country. Also attached fake interviews and articles attributed to journalists from Reuters.
According to reports, the movement of rebels planned to use chemical weapons smuggled from Libya obtained. It was also said that they were retiring to Turkey after suffering a major defeat. Both articles were false.
Reuters responded by removing the items, recovering the accounts and changing the name to @ReutersTech @ReutersMe. It is not clear who was behind the attack, although many assume it is the “Electronic Army Syria,” which in the past has attacked other sites that supposedly support the rebel movement in the country.
The incident may seem minor, but it shows that not only bombs and machine guns are weapons in the current war: the Internet is an increasingly important stage in the conflict. Syria regards this attack is rather crude, but at the last time we met with very advanced virus as Stuxnet or Flame were used to sabotage nuclear facilities in Iran.
Reuters is also an important goal, considering that many use the news media provided by this agency. Thus, the potential for expanding a message that has Reuters is quite high.
In 2011 began a civil war in Syria, where a group of rebels apparently motivated by the “Arab spring” rose against the government of Bashar al-Assad, president of the country since 2000, and succeeded his father, Hafez Al Assad, who served for 29 years.

62% Japanese public doubt Abenomics
62 per cent of Japanese public showed their doubt about the effectiveness of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's economic policy
At least 62 per cent of Japanese public showed their doubt about the effectiveness of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's economic policy mix dubbed "Abenomics", said the latest nationwide poll released on Monday.
The survey said 62.2 percent of the respondents do not believe that the "Abenomics" could improve the country's sluggish economy, while 28 percent of Japanese supported the policy compound, Xinhua reported.
Abe earlier this month postponed again the planned sales tax hike from current eight per cent to 10 percent, citing that global economic situation right now is similar to what in 2008 before the bankruptcy of the Lehman Brothers and weak domestic consumption figures.
Also on Monday, rating agency Fitch has slashed its rating outlook on Japanese government bond from "stable" to "negative" for Abe's decision to delay the consumption tax hike by another 18 months.
The revision "primarily reflects Fitch's decreased confidence in the Japanese authorities' commitment to fiscal consolidation", the agency said in a statement.
Abe aimed at making economic policies a topic during the upcoming upper house election. The election outcome is significant for the revisionist prime minister and his ruling Liberal Democratic Party to launch a motion to revise the country's war-renouncing constitution.
