Biohit Oyj is a Finnish biotechnology company operating on global markets. Our mission, “Innovating for Health”, describes our innovative products and services, which aim to promote medical research and early diagnosis, and prevent serious illnesses.
Chronic diseases such as cancer are a huge burden for the healthcare sector globally. According to WHO data, cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. Risk factors for cancer include tobacco use, alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet and genetical factors. Additionally, some chronic infections are risk factors for cancer; this is a particular issue in low- and middle-income countries. Approximately 13% of cancers diagnosed in 2018 globally were attributed to carcinogenic infections, including Helicobacter pylori.
To address the issue of H. pylori related cancer risk, Biohit Oyj has developed the GastroPanel®- arguably (READ MORE) the most comprehensive test for Helicobacter pylori and also for detecting the other key risk factor for cancer, atrophic gastritis (AG), caused by Helicobacter pylori infection or autoimmune disease. Screening with GastroPanel not only enhances early detection but also promises concrete cost savings for the healthcare sector and society at large. To assess the level of savings, Biohit has launched the GastroPanel screening model calculation tool which considers both the use of GastroPanel in the diagnosis of dyspeptic patients and in gastric cancer risk screening of asymptomatic people in a specified age group.
The model can be accessed through here: https://www.gastropanel.com/decision-makers/screening-model
Beyond early cancer risk detection, GastroPanel can optimize the allocation of scarce endoscopy resources through triage of patients.
The savings calculation tool for this model is available here: https://www.gastropanel.com/decision-makers/municipality-model
To further complement the GastroPanel®, Biohit can offer another unique & patented innovation to benefit the gastrointestinal health: the Acetium capsules. This capsule, which is classified as a medical device, is designed for elimination of carcinogenic acetaldehyde in the stomach by slow-release L-cysteine. A regular use of this product is indicated for all those who have acid-free stomach, irrespective of its cause.
An increasing global healthcare issue is colorectal cancer. To promote the early diagnosis of this disease, Biohit offers the ColonView-FIT rapid test (READ MORE), which is based on highly sensitive immunochemical detection of hemoglobin and hemoglobin/haptoglobin complex. The principal use of the Biohit ColonView-FIT Hb and Hb/Hp test is to screen for lower gastrointestinal (GI) pathologies, such as colorectal cancers and large adenomas that bleed. With the combination of two biomarkers, the ColonView-FIT quick test detects bleeding derived from both lower and upper gastrointestinal tract.
Biohit´s portfolio also includes a range of other tests for early detection GI tract conditions. We offer for example rapid test kits for early detection of lactose intolerance (READ MORE) and celiac disease (READ MORE). Biohit Calprotectin ELISA (READ MORE) allows determination between inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to be made non-invasively and in-expensively from a stool sample.
Another unique innovation from Biohit is the Acetium lozenge (Quit Smoking – Nicotine Free), which has the potential to revolutionize the way smoking cessation has traditionally been perceived. This product has virtually no side effects; additionally, it does not contain any nicotine.

When it comes to equip official authorities with the right tools, the reliability of a smartphone brand or an operating system, depends on many factors, not every one of them are obvious at first sight. The, Windows Mobile offers a consistent user experience across devices, and its also relatively safe. It is said to have Fort Knox-like security, and good productivity features. No wonder, that more than 100 Norwegian local authorities use it. But that’s the past, since they are changing the phones to Android, reports digi.no. The transfer has a really peculiar reason: noone is manufacturing affordable, yet high-quality, Windows Mobile phones anymore.
In 2016 Microsoft killed its handset division, leaving many questions open. As a result, that third party manufacturers got rather careful dealing with the company. Back in Norway the country’s public services, are tied to the vanishing operating system. As older devices wear out, it become difficult to replace them.
Snorre Johansen, sales manager of electronic medical records provider Tieto says: “It’s getting harder to get a hold of Windows Phones. Microsoft has sold mobile their division, and there is little availability of handsets in the market. Microsoft is desperately trying to reassure its customers that there are new phones in the pipeline. We have an ongoing dialogue with Microsoft. They are trying to reassure the market that 3-4 producers have plans to create Windows-based smartphones.”
Microsoft’s poor performance journey in the mobile market is paved with a series of missteps and errors. The company is promising a great revival for 2017 though, few are convinced. As a consequence, you can expect more government and corporate users of Windows Mobile to drift away in the coming months.

Some have argued that doctors practice so-called defensive medicine in order to avoid medical malpractice claims. Defensive medicine, in this context, may be understood as ordering tests and exams that are precautionary but perhaps not really necessary. These same people will argue that defensive medicine causes health costs to soar and are a direct result of doctors’ concerns about being sued for medical malpractice. Yet, the federal government’s own research shows quite a different fact pattern. According to a detailed study by the American Association for Justice, “While proponents of tort reform argue that defensive medicine drives up the cost of health care, government researchers question whether defensive medicine truly exists. The Congressional Budget Office has called the evidence of defensive medicine “not conclusive,” and summarized, ‘On the basis of existing studies and its own research, CBO believes that savings from reducing defensive medicine would be very small.’ Researchers at Dartmouth College echoed these conclusions, saying, ‘The fact that we see very little evidence of widespread physician exodus or dramatic increases in the use of defensive medicine in response to increases in statemalpractice premiums places the more dire predictions of malpractice alarmists in doubt.’
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has issued similar statements questioning the occurrence of defensive medicine, saying, ‘the overall prevalence and costs of [defensive medicine] have not been reliably measured,’ and study results cannot be generalized to estimate the extent and cost of defensive medicine practices across the health care system. The GAO reported that even “officials from AMA [American Medical Association] and several medical, hospital, and nursing home associations…told us that defensive medicine exists to some degree, but that it is difficult to measure.” The truth is that defensive medicine has a negligible effect on healthcare costs and its existence is not causally related to medical malpractice claims.

ANREN, China - From floor to ceiling, wall to wall, the narrow entry corridor at the Red Era Daily Necessities Museum is bathed in a blood-red light. There is no map, no brochure, no choice of direction; the architecture forces visitors forward, over glowing panels labeled by year: 1966. 1967. 1968. A few dozen paces later: 1976. A roar comes from a sea of Red Guards in Tiananmen Square, chanting rabidly, captured in a film clip from the era. Mao Tse-tung strides into the frame, whipping the crowd into a frenzy.

BEIDAIHE, China - Celebrity sightings used to be part of the fun in Beidaihe, the summertime retreat of the Chinese Communist Party. "In the old days, people would see Mao Tse-tung or Zhou Enlai walking around, shopping, eating in a restaurant, talking to ordinary people," said Yu Heping, 62, a lifelong resident who used to farm corn and sorghum and now works in the tourism industry. Nowadays, the presence of the Chinese leadership is viewed primarily in fleeting shadows through tinted glass, as their black Audis glide past stifling security roadblocks.

China Daily, the largest English-language newspaper in China, carried a front-page headline last week: "Village Gratitude Shows Integrity of Task. " Not clear what that's about, and the opening sentence isn't much help: "On a hot afternoon, Zhou Yi picked up a bag of freshly boiled eggs that had been left on the doorstep of the committee office in Chaqulak village in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. " I figured this must be some feel-good story about the noble, uncorrupted country folk taking care of the less fortunate in their midst.

BEIJING - The Fox Tower in southeastern Beijing, a centuries-old fortress-like building with deep-set red windows and curving eaves, has stood through the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the reign of Mao Tse-tung and the crush of urban development. But for 45-year-old Sinologist Paul French, one historical event stands out above the rest: One morning in 1937, the mutilated corpse of a 19-year-old British woman was found at the base of the tower, her organs removed with surgical precision.

In the latest political tumult in China, it is the Maoists who find themselves in trouble. Maoist websites have been shut down, ostensibly for "maintenance. " A public park in Chongqing where retirees sang and twirled to patriotic anthems while waving red flags posted a notice saying the music was now banned because it disturbed the neighborhood. A former television host, known for his Maoist views, found his scheduled speeches abruptly canceled. The crackdown started late last week during the conclusion of the National People's Congress.

Like many peasants from the outskirts of Yanan, China, Ren Shouhua was born in a cave and lived there until he got a job in the city and moved into a concrete-block house. His progression made sense as he strove to improve his life. But there's a twist: The 46-year-old Ren plans to move back to a cave when he retires. "It's cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It's quiet and safe," said Ren, a ruddy-faced man with salt-and-pepper hair who moved to the Shaanxi provincial capital, Xian, in his 20s. "When I get old, I'd like to go back to my roots.

In early December, Liu Zhangning was tending her cabbage patch when she saw a tall yellow construction crane in the distance. At night, the work lights made it seem like day. Fifteen days later, a 30-story hotel towered over her village on the outskirts of the city like a glass and steel obelisk. "I couldn't really believe it," Liu said. "They built that thing in under a month. " A time-lapse video of the project in Changsha, which shows the prefabricated building being assembled on site, has racked up more than 5 million views on YouTube and left Western architects speechless.

The palace intrigue surrounding the shape of China'snext leadership is thick. Rumors abound about who's up, who's down and who's out. What is fairly certain is that Vice President Xi Jinping, who arrives Thursday in Los Angeles for a visit, will become general secretary of the Communist Party in November and China's next president in March 2013. What we do not yet know is who will fill the remaining open slots on the powerful Politburo Standing Committee, as seven of the nine members retire.

For the Chinese government, a dead Kim Jong Il is a popular Kim Jong Il. In life, the North Korea leader was a constant irritant to Beijing with his dangerous nuclear ambitions and his stubborn refusal to reform an economy that left the population starving. Although Chinese officials rarely criticize North Korea openly, they quietly suspended energy assistance and demanded cash in advance for sales at times when they were angry about the nuclear program. They sometimes have been stingy with food aid and have said publicly that North Korea needs to overhaul its economy.

When the young Mao Tse-tung agitated for revolution, he found a vivid way to get his point across to an uneducated audience: He picked up a single chopstick and snapped it in two. Then he picked up a handful of chopsticks: They would not break. Thus he showed that so long as everyone stood side by side, no force could withstand the tide of revolution. By gathering together China's scattered, indignant chopsticks, Mao finally was able to ascend Tiananmen — the Gate of Heavenly Peace — on Oct. 1, 1949, and announce the establishment of his republic.

If you need a little pick-me-up, look no further than the thoroughly charming 2016 tvN romcom Cinderella and the Four Knights (신데렐라와 네 명의 기사).
Park So Dam leads a strong cast as the modern-day Cinderella that meets a trio of rich cousins and their grandfather’s executive secretary who change her life. Park So Dam as Eun Ha Won is absolutely the kind of leading lady you love to see. Strong, yet vulnerable. Unquestionably charming and wholly endearing.
After the death of her mother, Ha Won grows up with an absentee father and her stepmother and stepsister who mistreat her every day. She must work several part-time jobs to save up for college as well as provide for her own daily needs.
When circumstances bring her to the Hanuel House estate, she gets an opportunity to turn her life around for the better. It won’t be easy as she navigates the life of the wealthy as well as deal with the irritable personalities of the aforementioned “four knights” whom she must try and reform. But it’s all in good, clean fun as Ha Won maintains her positive spirit throughout especially while also falling in love for the first time.
Cinderella and the Four Knights is a fun, cute modern-day fairy tale with plenty of heart. Park So Dam provides much of that heart. But while the series begins with the lighter, romcom elements that may be familiar to many a K-drama viewer, the series takes things through interesting and more dramatic turns later on.
Together, that makes for a fun, enjoyable and stress-free ride with a fully satisfying finale.
The cast shares a great chemistry that allows them to play off each other well. From the leads to the supporting characters, the fun rapport they can have with each other adds to the easy-going feel of the series.
Jung Il Woo, Ahn Jae Hyeon, Lee Jung Shin, Choi Min and Son Na Eun join Park So Dam to bring the characters to life in a way that is both realistic and a little more fantastical in its fairy tale sense. That interesting dynamic is part of the appeal.
There’s a tendency for romcoms of this type (or even regular dramas) to cast aside logical story to play up a certain romantic pairing or plot points that will get the most reaction from viewers. But Cinderella and the Four Knights avoids that. The characters here grow and develop organically. Their own respective individual stories come together to further the overaching plot. That alone is a major success.
But good character development, equal parts romantic and emotional, a wonderful leading lady, an excellent soundtrack and a feel-good story all come together to deliver a fun and enjoyable 16-episode ride in Cinderella and the Four Knights.

Manchester Winger Scott Sinclair Spotted in Black Mercedes SLS
text size: A- A+
While others may look at the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG and consider it the perfect track tool, or a machine that will take you to Paris and back, Sinclair and his lovely girlfriend, actress Helen Flanagan, used the SLS AMG for a trip to the shops.
This mean machine is one of the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 supercars ever made, certainly the ultimate when it comes to AMG. It looks like a veritable batmobile stuck in Manchester traffic, since its got tinted lights, windows and a dark-as-night body.
You really can’t complain much about the life of a football player!

Zoochorous dispersal of freshwater bivalves: an overlooked vector in biological invasions?
No Thumbnail Available
Coughlan, Neil E.
Stevens, Andrew L.
Kelly, Thomas C.
Jansen, Marcel A. K.
Vectors that underpin the natural dispersal of invasive alien species are frequently unknown. In particular, the passive dispersal (zoochory) of one organism (or propagule) by another, usually more mobile animal, remains poorly understood. Field observations of the adherence of invasive freshwater bivalves to other organisms have prompted us to assess the importance of zoochory in the spread of three prolific invaders: zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha; quagga mussel Dreissena bugensis; and Asian clam Corbicula fluminea. An extensive, systematic search of the literature was conducted across multiple on-line scientific databases using various search terms and associated synonyms. In total, only five publications fully satisfied the search criteria. It appears that some fish species can internally transport viable adult D. polymorpha and C. fluminea specimens. Additionally, literature indicates that veligers and juvenile D. polymorpha can adhere to the external surfaces of waterbirds. Overall, literature suggests that zoochorous dispersal of invasive bivalves is possible, but likely a rare occurrence. However, even the establishment of a few individuals (or a single self-fertilising C. fluminea specimen) can, over-time, result in a substantial population. Here, we highlight knowledge gaps, identify realistic opportunities for data collection, and suggest management protocols to mitigate the spread of invasive alien species.

Some West Montgomery High alumni and faculty are upset with changes to the school’s cafeteria.
Teachers, former students and others have taken to Facebook to air their opposition to the decision to paint over a large warrior head mural that had been on the cafeteria wall since the 1970s. Many of those posting are calling for the mural to be restored, though a few say it shouldn’t matter.
Reports say a 9/11 memorial had also been on the wall.
Montgomery County Schools Superintendent Dale Ellis told WMTG the decision to repaint the cafeteria was made in an overall effort to raise what he called “one of the poorest breakfast and lunch participation rates in the county.”
“In discussions between the Child Nutrition Department and school leadership,” said Dr. Ellis, “it was felt that brightening up the cafeteria would make it more inviting for students. On any given day, you will find more students outside the cafeteria, rather than in it. The decision was made and plans developed.”
Ellis said the project – supported by child nutrition funds – was not complete when negative comments began appearing on social media.
“The work has not been finished, and we have unfortunately not been allowed to explain, but the work will heavily incorporate the (West Montgomery) spearhead logo, which is now on T-shirts… there is a spearhead in the courtyard, a spearhead painted on the football field, and a spearhead as you enter the football field. There is also a spearhead residing on the field house and they are everywhere.”
The superintendent said the school moved away from the old “chief” logo some time ago, and no negative feedback was received. Still, administrators will consider using part of the old design in the new decor.
“We are meeting later this week to discuss the inclusion of the older chief head logo in the cafeteria, even though it has not been an issue raised with the move to the spearhead logo until now.”
Responding to criticism about how the decision was made, Ellis said, “There is no policy that I am aware of that restricts our ability to paint or adequately maintain our facilities in a manner that we feel will provide greater benefit for the intended purpose of said facility – in this case, trying to make the cafeteria more inviting.”
“We are not trying to promote some agenda or to remove the Warrior from West Montgomery. We are trying to get students to use the cafeteria.”
Ellis said he had not previously heard about the removal of a 9/11 memorial, but he said both items will be discussed when administrators meet.

When Vagelyn Federico’s life story was featured on the longest-running drama anthology Maalala Mo Kaya (MMK), thousands upon thousands of inspired netizens stormed social media sites, making the hashtag #MMKOFW the top trending topic worldwide for at least two hours.
Named Hotel Professional of the Year in last year’s The Filipino Times Awards, Vagelyn has led a life that’s certainly one for the books, from being the farm girl of San Fernando, La Union, to now being a multi-awarded human resources director in Dubai. She also leads the 500-member-strong Filipino Human Resources Practitioners Association (Fil-HR).
Flying to Dubai to seek the proverbial greener pasture, Vagelyn didn’t have it easy at all. Life hasn’t always been kind to her throughout the years, but she kept pushing on, determined to take on the world to give her family a better, brighter life. Her love for her family was bigger than all the odds thrown unto her back when she was still starting out in the UAE.
The MMK story, which starred Maricar Reyes and featured the official TFT footage of Vagelyn accepting her award as Hotel Professional of the Year, successfully mapped out the back stories that made up the person, the leader, and the inspiring Pinoy expat she is now.
Vagelyn is currently the HR director at Dusit Thani, Dubai, and she is also doing charity legal services for her fellow Filipinos in the UAE, among others.
It was a story that moved a nation of dreamers, giving hope to all who are bravely pursuing their dreams no matter the circumstances.
“Kung kaya nya, kaya din natin (If she can do it, so can we),” said Prince Monter (@princemonter) in his tweet.
“Success! Fruit of hardship and sacrifice. You inspired us. You showed us that there’s still hope in every failures. Thanks. #MMKOFW,” tweeted Girlie Mejes (@girliemejes_).
“#MMKOFW has parallels w/ #JoyMovie. Strength, determination, grit, belief in oneself,and never quitting are just some of their life lessons,” said Marsh (@ashram3072).
Vagelyn’s story also prompted salutes to all the other OFWs across the globe.
“#MMKOFW A very beautiful and inspiring story. I salute all OFWs for working and sacrificing so hard for their families, just like my bro,” said Rica Chiu (@ricalovesbooks).
The hashtag #MMKOFW garnered more than 40,000 tweet just two hours after it first appeared.

With everyone staying home, it’s now more important than ever for everyone to be fire-safe. People can find information on our website - fireandemergency.nz...
We’re heading into winter, and with households self-isolating together, there’ll be more cooking at home, and more use of open fires, heaters, and dryers - all things which can increase fire risk.
New Zealanders can be confident that Fire and Emergency is well-prepared and ready to respond to emergencies as usual during the nationwide self- isolation period.
Please call 111 if you have a fire, we will ask you whether anyone at the address is self-isolating or has a confirmed case of COVID-19. Where this is the case, we already have necessary measures in place to ensure everyone’s safety including protective clothing, gloves, masks, safety glasses and mask.

The sound has been reported in Belfast, Kaiapoi, Woodend, Rangiora, Mandeville and further afield to Ashley and Loburn, with some saying it keeps them awake at night.
Have you heard the noise?

|A generic approach to the concept of water renewal: theory, idealised examples and realistic application to Lake Tanganyika and the Scheldt Estuary
Deleersnijder, E.; de Brye, B.; de Brauwere, A.; Gourgue, O.; Delhez, E.J.M. (2011). A generic approach to the concept of water renewal: theory, idealised examples and realistic application to Lake Tanganyika and the Scheldt Estuary, in: 43rd international Liège colloquium on ocean dynamics "Tracers of physical and biogeochemical processes, past changes and ongoing anthropogenic impacts" - May 2-6, 2011. pp. 2

The concept of water renewal refers to the processes by which water initially located in the domain of interest (the “original water”) is progressively replaced by water originating from its environment (the “renewing water”). Determining the rate at which water renewal is achieved is of use in many hydrodynamical, pollution and ecological studies.Over the last few decades, many methods were suggested for quantifying water renewal rates. Most of them, be they based on in situ measurements or numerical results, aimed at estimating relevant timescales. Herein, a generic approach to such timescales is presented that relies on the Constituent-oriented Age and Residence time Theory (CART, www.climate.be/CART). Accordingly, by solving a partial differential problem in a backward mode, the residence time of the original water may be calculated at any time and position, i.e. the time needed for every particle of this water type to reach for the first time an open boundary of the domain. Additional information may be obtained by estimating the age of the renewing water, which is defined at any time and location as the time that has elapsed since entering the domain. To obtain this timescale, one must solve a partial differential problem in a forward mode. Clearly, the age of the renewing water and the residence time of the original water are complementary, diagnostic quantities, whose domain averaged values are seen to be equal at a steady state. Upon estimating its residence time, an original water particle is discarded as soon as it hits one of the open boundaries of the domain of interest, thereby ignoring the possibility that this water particle may re-enter the domain at a later time. As this is unlikely to be acceptable in all water renewal studies, an alternative approach is suggested, that consists in estimating the exposure time, i.e. the time spent in the domain of interest. This timescale may be estimated in the domain and its environment — while the residence time of the original water and the age of the renewing water are defined only in the domain of interest. If this alternative strategy is selected, there is no need to split the water into two categories, original water and renewing water.In the domain of interest, the exposure time is always larger than the residence time, and the relative difference between them is termed the “return coefficient”. The latter measures the propensity for a water parcel to re-enter the domain of interest after leaving it for the first time.All of the above timescales may be calculated in a Lagrangian framework, by having recourse to relevant random walk algorithms. However, in the present study, most of the developments are performed in a Eulerian mode, making it possible to establish rather easily properties that the timescales under consideration satisfy at any time and position. The physical meaning and the usefulness — as diagnostic quantities — of these timescales is illustrated by tackling a couple of idealised, zero- or one-dimensional flow configurations that allow analytical solutions to be obtained.Using the unstructured-mesh, finite-element Second-generation Louvain-la-Neuve Iceocean Model (SLIM, www.climate.be/slim), the flows in the upper layer of Lake Tanganyika and the Scheldt Estuary are simulated along with the abovementioned timescales. By doing so, a picture of the long-term transport properties is obtained that is of use to gain insight into the fate of contaminants or the ecology of the domains of interest.

At the closing panel discussion for POWER-GEN and DistribuTECH Africa, entitled ‘Visions for Africa’s Power Future’, it was suggested that Africa’s rich gas, solar, wind, hydro and geothermal resources be harnessed and added to the energy mix in a sustainable way, and that greater private sector participation in the sector had to be encouraged.
Moderator Gareth Gregory, Africa head of Energy Security Services Africa, compared Africa’s power sector to India’s IT sector 30 years ago: “We have the potential to turn the situation around in the same way that India sparked its booming IT industry”.
Dawie Roodt, chief economist at The Efficient Group, said that power generation, distribution and pricing models should be handed to more private sector players to make vital electricity sup- plies more competitive. It was not necessary for governments to deliver services such as power or mobile telecommunications, he argued. “In a digital economy, centralisation is becoming outdated,” he said, adding, “Governments should focus on regulating the power sector effectively and creating an enabling environment for private investment”.
South Africa’s independent power producer (IPP) programme had proven the viability of the hybrid model, said Aurecon technical director, Clinton Carter-Brown. “We now need to further capacitate mid-tier and small players to roll out IPP lessons at a granular level, within the best interests of the economy and the power system.”
Richard Candy of EON Consulting South Africa argued that aggregators were needed to support small-scale distributed power generation players who could buy and sell power back into the grid. However, this required effective smart grids with high visibility: “You must be able to monitor what is going down the line so that you can enable individual customers to participate and support on- demand models for power consumption.”
While Honeywell’s Amos Hadebe, highlighted that regional integration would present opportunities to aggregate the market and attract investors. “But to achieve this, we need regional interoperability and harmonised standards,” he said.
Conceding that full privatisation of national power utilities was unlikely in the foreseeable future, delegates participating in the discussion said hybrid systems, in which independent power producers and utilities both contributed to power generation and distribution, were likely to emerge as a solution to Africa’s power shortfall in the short to medium term.
Contrasting this high level view in MechTech this month, Kenny Gaynor, Cummins’ director of power generation for Southern Africa, reveals some of the practical solutions being implemented to overcome Africa’s Power deficit: fuel-based solutions that are seldom ‘championed’ by industry experts.
Gensets are often a grudge purchase to mitigate outage and load shedding risks. In many situations, however, for safety-critical applications such as underground mining and hospitals, they have always been required and, in remote areas where access to the grid is unavailable, “there are fewer options other than prime units”.
Gaynor points to some “amazing” features of diesel generation: “When it comes to absorbing changes in load, either up or down,” he argues, “there is nothing better.” He also cites the relatively low capex and maintenance costs of modern units.
“But,” he concedes, “the big issue is running costs due to fuel.” This makes prime diesel generators ideal for use in hybrid solutions. “Solar technology is now quite sophisticated. Management systems can predict when the solar output is about to drop due to cloud cover, for example, and the diesels can be started in time to prevent power dipping. The diesels ramp up in sync with the solar coming off and the load doesn’t see any change in the supply,” Gaynor explains. Hybrid diesel-solar systems “could see some 20% savings on diesel fuel costs, which has a huge impact on the levelised kWh cost,” he estimates.
In addition, according to Gaynor, sophisticated natural gas and biogas engines are “an increasingly viable alternative to diesel gensets”, particularly for combined heat and power applications. “Most hospitals are already using gas for their boilers. We like to redirect that gas into an engine to produce both heat and power. In so doing, we can often take the hospital off-grid without having to use substantially more fuel,” Gaynor says.
The direct efficiency of a modern gas engine-driven generator is around 40 to 42% “but a further 45% can be added to that by beneficiating the heat, allowing these systems to achieve overall efficiencies of more than 80%.
In terms of smart technology and connectivity, these generators and hybrid systems are already being installed with built-in ‘Connected Enterprise’ capabilities. Connecting to a grid is no more difficult than interconnecting the compressors across a mining operation.
As Gregory suggests, we have the potential to create a booming energy sector – and while regulation and policy support would be ideal, political decision makers are fast becoming the followers rather than the leaders.

Twenty staff began work this week on a pioneering "Early Years" project to break into the cycle of low educational achievement in one of the UK's most deprived communities.
After an intensive six-week training course, they will regularly visit the 400 or so women each year who have babies in the Greater Shankill, a strongly Protestant part of West Belfast, to give them advice and support. Training will continue for one or two days a week afterwards, giving the workers a clear idea of their role, a higher level of skills and the ability and confidence to identify problems and refer them to professional back-up staff for further action.
It is hoped that 70 workers will be involved eventually, thanks to funding of Pounds 6.4 million over four years from the European Union and the Making Belfast Work initiative. It is part of a cross-community package under which a similar sum will be spent on schemes mainly for 11 to 25-year-olds in the Catholic Upper Springfield area.
"The early years initiative is part of a regeneration strategy for the whole Greater Shankill area. It is the long-term catalyst for change," local community activist Jackie Redpath said. "Education is the key way to build up the capacity of the area long term and we are starting very far back. For example 80 per cent of young people leave school at 16 on the Shankill, but only 20 per cent on the Falls Road.
"Early Years plans to take an entire generation of children and create for them and their parents a whole infrastructure of services." Under the motto "empowering parents - developing children", the proposal for the scheme in 1994 painted a picture of an area which has suffered from violence, redevelopment and the decline of the linen, shipbuilding and engineering industries.
"Over the past 25 years a community has survived, placing a lower value on education, recycling to its children their parents' own recent negative experience of education, in a context of a dramatic increase in lone parent families to 43 per cent and increasing benefit dependency.
"By effecting a process of empowerment of parents, particularly in parenting skills, we not only contribute to equipping the child for life, but we raise parents' self-confidence and esteem, which opens up pathways of opportunity for the parent in training, education, leisure and community involvement, leading to increased employability and employment, building the community's problem-solving capacity.
"This twin-targeted parentchild programme can make the gains permanent, " it argued.
The new staff, whose main qualification is to be parents or have parenting skills, will begin at ante-natal clinics with expectant mothers who wish to use the service. In the first nine months they will "encourage the creation of a positive, caring, responsive relationship in a language-rich environment", encourage contact with other parents with babies, build the confidence and self-reliance of the mother and enable her to find her own solutions.
Between nine and 18 months, the key task is to offer guidance in fostering the child's language, cognitive, social and motor skills, stress the importance of speaking and reading and seek expert advice for any problems. This work continues with the introduction of the child to pre-school facilities, eventually leading to a seamless move into nursery education. At the same time, the mother may have developed the confidence to return to education, training, community involvement or employment. "There are a lot of lone parents who do not have any social life; they go home and close the door behind them. This is social exclusion in a big way and we hope to tackle that," said one of the organisers, May Blood.
"At the same time we have a lot of children on the Shankill who leave school at 16 without being able to read or write. Secondary schools say it is not their fault because they came in with a mental age of seven or eight; primary schools say the children could not even sit or tell their colours when they arrived with them; nursery schools say the children were withdrawn and could not tell black from white.
"With education being so badly regarded on the Shankill, we are tackling it in several ways. We hope early years will mean children are better able to take advantage of nursery education and that parents can come back into society. We have a lot of talent in homes and we want to draw it into the community and give everyone a stake in society," May Blood added.

How can you tell if you have testicular cancer? Check out this video to learn about the most common symptoms of testicular cancer and how to know if you should see your doctor.
Transcript: Testicular cancer has a VERY high survival rate when caught early. In fact, treatment is so effective...
Testicular cancer has a VERY high survival rate when caught early. In fact, treatment is so effective that the risk of dying from this form of cancer is about 1 in 5,000. That's why it is so important for men to know the symptoms. They include: --A lump, SWELLING, and/or enlargement in either testicle, which is usually painless --However with larger tumors there may be discomfort or PAIN in the testicles --A feeling of HEAVINESS in the scrotum --A dull PAIN in the abdomen and/or groin --A sense of pressure in the lower back --A rapid pooling of FLUID in the scrotum Symptoms of less common testicular cancer types include LOSS of sexual desire, enlargement of the breast tissue and, in boys, early growth of facial and/or body hair. Sometimes, testicular cancer spreads throughout the body. Signs include SUBSTANTIAL weight loss, back pain, CHEST pain, coughing, and enlargement of the lymph nodes on the neck. If you experience any of these symptoms, see your doctor for a physical examination and perhaps an ultrasound scan to look at internal tissue. To learn more about detecting testicular cancer, take a look at other videos in this series.More »

WREXHAM FC administrator David Acland last night warned club supporters there would be no short-cuts in getting the club back on its feet.
Thursday's court ruling stating ownership of the Racecourse Stadium should be transferred from a company owned by majority shareholder Alex Hamilton to the club should make it easier to sell the business.
But Cheshire-based property developer Mr Hamilton has yet to indicate whether he will seek leave from the Court of Appeal to challenge the High Court judgment handed down in Birmingham.
Mr Acland yesterday confirmed there were currently three bids on the table to buy the League Two club and take it out of administration.
Former Racecourse director Neville Dickens and his partner Geoff Moss, who were close to agreeing a deal with Mr Hamilton in July, are being backed by the club's supporters.
Other parties are believed to include a consortium led by ex-club chairman Mark Guterman, a former business associate of Mr Hamilton, and Birmingham-based property company Old House.
"Subject to any notice of appeal it will take a few days to tie up all the legal bits and pieces," said Mr Acland..
He confirmed any sale must have the approval of creditors, chiefly the Inland Revenue and Customs & Excise.
And he said the Football League would also be consulted.
Meanwhile Wrexham-based house-builder Castlemead Developments on Wednesday ruled itself out as a potential bidder for the club.
But a spokesman said the company hoped to work with both Mr Acland and Mr Dickens - who owns a car dealership adjacent to the stadium.
Castlemead confirmed it was negotiating to buy the garage site and was also interested in buying an adjoining area of Wrexham's car park "as a means of generating cash to pay off the club's creditors and secure the future of the Racecourse Stadium."
Mr Acland is attending a meeting of Wrexham Supporters Trust, which played a crucial role in providing evidence used in the successful court action, at the Racecourse Centenary Club at 7.30pm on Monday.

Purpose: To determine whether DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1) are involved in eliciting the rapid fluctuations of radiosensitivity that have been observed when cells are exposed to short pulses of ionizing radiation.
Materials and methods: The effect of DNA-PK and PARP-1 inhibitors on the survival of cells to split-dose irradiation was investigated using Chinese hamster V79 fibroblasts and human carcinoma SQ-20B cells. The responses of PARP-1 proficient and PARP-1 knockout mouse 3T3 fibroblasts were compared in a similar split-dose assay.
Results: Inactivation of DNA-PK by wortmannin potentiated radiation-induced cell kill but it did not alter the oscillatory, W-shaped pattern of early radiation response. In contrast, oscillatory radiation response was abolished by 3-aminobenzamide, a reversible inhibitor of enzymes containing a PARP catalytic domain. The oscillatory response was also lacking in PARP-1 knockout mouse 3T3 fibroblasts.
Conclusion: The results show that PARP-1 plays a key role in the earliest steps of cell response to ionizing radiation with clonogenic ability or growth as endpoint. It is hypothesized that rapid poly(ADP-ribosylation) of target proteins, or recruitment of repair proteins by activated PARP-1 at the sites of DNA damage, bring about rapid chromatin remodelling that may affect the incidence of chromosomal damage upon re-irradiation.


Film information site IMDB has announced that it is shutting down its message boards.
The site, which gets 250 million visitors per month, said the chat areas of the site were “no longer” proving useful to users.
Most users now preferred to talk about films and actors on IMDB’S social networks, it said.
One media commentator said the boards were “terrible” and deserved to be shut down.
IMDB said the decision to close the message boards had been made after “in-depth discussion” about them. It concluded that the amount of talk on the boards and the topics they covered were not a “positive, useful experience” for the majority of its users.
It said the decision was also driven by considerations of how much traffic was flowing to the boards and analysis of who was using them.
IMDB said there was far more engagement with its editors and staff via its accounts on various social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Users have two weeks to archive any messages or information they want to keep and to swap contact details with other users.
The boards and private messaging systems will close on 20 February.
“We regret any disappointment or frustration IMDB message board users may experience as a result of this decision,” it said in a statement.
Sarah Perez from news site TechCrunch bid “good riddance” to the message boards and said the chat rooms were one of the “worst places to socialise on the internet”.
Ms Perez said the lack of moderation meant the boards were home to “pointless and hateful commentary”.
IMDB, or the Internet Movie Database, lists information about films and actors. It was founded by Briton Colin Needham in 1990 and sold to web retail giant Amazon in 1998 for $55m (£44m).
Many other sites have cut back on messaging and comment systems because they became inhabited by trolls who harassed other users.

I was looking for a pouch, that wouldn't be over done with extra's I didn't need. A simple pouch to store a spare Commo Battery, and a simple mounting system were some of the reason's I choose this pouch. It fit's the 12.8 V 12ah LiFeP04 Battery perfectly, so no shifting once it's inserted into the pouch...!
Slimline 6X6 Utility Pouch
The 6X6 SFGP was designed as a very lightweight (about four ounces because of the 500D Cordura) Slick Front General Purpose utility pouch. It is about 6 inches wide by 6 inches tall and about 3 ½ inches deep, and uses four channels and six rows of MOLLE space.
This pouch is has no internal organization and uses the YKK #8 coil zipper with dual zipper heads and 550 cord pulls to keep i's weight as low as possible. The pouch uses our L-Strap attachment system and is compatible with any MOLLE platform.
Like everything with the ATS Gear tag in it, the pouch is made in the USA and lifetime warranted against manufacturer defects in materials and workmanship.

Will Kejriwal inspire Jayalalithaa?
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has introduced a new brand of politics. He has refused to be the stereotype Chief Minister and is adopting strategies that many are finding difficult to accept.
By escalating the confrontation between a minister in his cabinet and some cops during a controversial vigilante-style raid by the former along with his supporters in a Delhi neighborhood to check an alleged sex racket, Kejriwal has sought to bring the spotlight on an important defect in the administrative system in the national capital.
Kejriwal has adopted the right strategy (Photos: Indian Photo Agency)
It is a matter of shame that police in Delhi do not report to the Delhi CM, but to the union home minister.
So, it is understandable that Kejriwal and his cabinet colleagues are agitated about this, and want a change in the system.
Manish Sisodia, a minister, told reporters recently that their government does not want to blame the Centre for the increasing number of rapes, sex and drug rackets in the capital.
They want to own up responsibility for law and order, and want the police to be brought under their control.
Without going into the merits of Law Minister Somnath Bharti’s midnight raid, it was an unusual sight on Indian television to watch an ordinary policeman defy a minister and speak in the manner that he did, raising his hand and flaunting an aggressive body language.
Kejriwal is now seeking action against the Delhi cops. Not he, any self-respecting politician in his place, would have done the same thing.
He has already gone on record with his suggestion that the Centre could look after the security of the NDMC area and Lutyens’ Zone. However, he has insisted that the law and order duties for the rest of the city have to be with the Delhi government.
Even those who agree with him on this point seem to be having a problem with his dharna politics.
In my view, Kejriwal is doing the right thing. People might talk about procedures, conventions, and dignity of the CM’s office, but he has to persist with his own methods to achieve his objective of getting police under his control.
Because it involves the safety of women, and maintenance of law and order, he has the right to act in his own way.
Jayalalithaa's letters to the Centre on the fishermen issue has not stopped the attacks on them by the Sri Lankan navy
Down South, Delhi police has become a joke, a laughing stock, and an institution that is considered to be inept. Kejriwal has got his priorities right and he should first restore the prestige of this force.
Other Chief Ministers need to watch Kejriwal’s methods and see if it is getting him the results.
In Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and her predecessor M Karunanidhi have written dozens of letters to the Prime Minister on the repeated assaults on the State’s fishermen by the Sri Lankan navy.
But the problem has remained unresolved. Their letters to the union government not to provide training to Sri Lankan armed forces in the State also are not taken seriously.
Perhaps, Jayalalithaa needs to get her army of followers on the streets the next time the State’s fishermen are attacked by the Lankan navy, and lay siege to the Coast Guard and Naval headquarters in Chennai to press the Centre to protect the State’s fishermen.

A black and white photo or should that be a white and black photo is a challenge to any mind, no colour to add warmth, no colour to add mood, no colour to give away time of day.
A black and white photo is just that. the beauty of black and white photography is that it can take on whole new different meanings depending on what it is your shooting or who it is you ask.
As all photography was originally monochrome, or black and white, it’s easy to feel a sense of nostalgia over them. Today, many modern day photographers choose to shoot or post-process in black and white, creating striking photos.
Whether it’s capturing the texture of an object or seeing the form, shading, pattern or tone, black and white photography will give you a greater appreciation for life’s little details. By taking away colour, you’ll see an object without distractions.
From an artistic viewpoint; colour depicts reality. Black and white is an interpretation of reality.

Holy Trinity Bothenhampton is built in Arts and Crafts style and was Edward Prior’s first church.
He undertook an extensive study of local churches
and developed a sophisticated analytical approach
to designing the building, and a philosophy that sought
to build appropriately for its religious function.
The roof was the most radical feature of the church,
later forming the model for the great roof at Prior’s
masterwork at St Andrew’s Church, Roker.
Elements of Richard Norman Shaw’s influence remain,
particularly in the porch but Prior’s knowledge and
love of Early English church architecture in particular
Prior was careful to use local materials,
selected with skill and handled with craftsmanship.
He was also able to develop furnishings and decoration
to provide a holistic design for the church and its fittings.
At Bothenhampton Prior designed the font, the altar rails,
the choir stalls, and chest, the doors.
The altar table was designed with William Lethaby
and executed by Augustus Mason.
All the furnishings were in English oak.
Lethaby designed the
altar front in gesso, with intertwined wild roses, leaves and stems.
A wrought iron chancel screen was added in 1895

The overall message from the first day at the Las Vegas event was that the United States is the hardest country for adoption.
The mobile payments message from the experts on the first day of the Money 2020 emerging financial services and transactions event was that the United States is the most difficult market to break into.
The reason given by the speakers was that each individual state has its own licensing issues and regulations.
John Muller, the PayPal general counsel and vice president, legal, compared the entry of mobile payments into the United States to trying to get started in fifty different countries.
Mobile payments are the next phase for PayPal after tremendous successes in traditional online transactions.
According to Muller, PayPal innovations have allowed that company to stand out above the rest in traditional online payments, and the company intends to move forward with this type of original thought and strategy for successes in the smartphone sphere. Among the areas in which he stated that they stood out above the rest included:
• Conversion of ACH payments into realtime – converting Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments into realtime meant that they needed to make assure payment to the merchant even before PayPal, itself, had received the funds. This was a considerable risk on their part.
• Focus on transactions over payments – starting with eBay, PayPal made it easy for sellers to be able to offer a quick and simple place to complete a transaction with from buyers. They used Pay with PayPal and Buy Now options to fit the payment method inside the transaction itself.
• Provided sellers with a debit card – this was a PayPal branded card that was issued through a bank. This gave them the opportunity to offer a 1 percent cash back to sellers who used the card and, therefore, their PayPal accounts.
These first phase areas turned PayPal into a type of risk management based company. The second phase took four years and it required them to overcome issues such as fraud, in which phishing emails for tricking consumers into revealing their passwords became more commonplace. The worked with legitimate email providers – such as Google and Yahoo! – to weed out these fraudulent emails.
Now, after overcoming many barriers, Muller hesitantly revealed the following predictions for the future of alternative and mobile payments:
• New “crypto currency” based payment avenues that are not based on cards.
• A greater influence from small merchants regarding the leaders in this highly competitive market.
• Features such as loyalty programs, skip-the-line, and more, providing companies with considerable data, even at a time in which consumers hesitate to reveal their personal information.
Muller’s opinion is that mobile payments and wallets are the future of the digital space, and recommends that companies offer both of these options as opposed to selecting a single platform.
Check back tomorrow at Mobile Commerce Press for the next latest announcements from Money 2020 in Las Vegas.

New York State Police engaged in a high-speed pursuit Monday night that ultimately ended outside the city of Auburn in which the status of the suspect is unknown.
The pursuit began before 8 p.m. in the village of Weedsport and headed southbound on state Route 34 toward the city. As the suspect began nearing the city, troopers terminated the pursuit due to high speeds and the danger a continued pursuit could pose to the public, state police said.
You have free articles remaining.
Troopers later located the suspect's vehicle unoccupied, having become disabled at some point after the pursuit's termination.
Information regarding the suspect's current whereabouts was unavailable as of late Monday night.

Not a bad idea. If done, maybe, just maybe those idiots in Congress will get the message they should not kick the can down the road forever. It seems every few years this subject comes up. And both parties blame each other. No one wants to fix the problem as it would not make them popular to be reelected.
Congress continues to operate as if they do nothing, each can blame the other & not dial in on the real problem..........CONGRESS!

The “Human Skull & Sutures” kit holds 30 signature vials focused on the cranial bones and ‘joints’ between them. Included as well are three bones of the middle ear and a signature for the Cranial Primary Respiratory Mechanism, an important osteopathic principle discussed below. Also included in the kit is the spheno-basilar (SB) junction, a cartilaginous junction of the sphenoid bone and the basilar portion of the occipital bone at the base of the skull.
Cranial osteopathy was further developed in the mid-20th century by William Sutherland (1873-1954), DO. At the time, conventional thought was that the bones of the skull became fused in adulthood and did not move. In contrast, Sutherland considered that there was a function, a purpose for this ‘architecture’ of bones.
Through his clinical work, Sutherland showed that the cranial bones were ‘jointed’ at synarthrodial sutures of fibrous tissue and that subtle movement occurred between them. Further, he concluded that that the cranial bones, sacrum, dural membranes of the spinal cord and cerebrospinal fluid functioned and moved as a whole. This phenomenon he named the “primary respiration mechanism”.
The palpated cranial rhythmic impulse (CRI) or the movement of the skull is reported to be 8 to 14 times per minute. The rhythmic movement of the entire system, the Primary Respiration Mechanism of the brain, skull, spinal cord is described as a wave or an uncoiling.] Through palpation of the cranial bones, cranial osteopathy seeks to identify and release stress that may impede these rhythms.
Of specific note within other modalities such as BodyTalk, release of the cartilaginous spheno-basilar junction (SBJ) through breath, focus and tapping can have important energetic implications.


This day, 6th August, marks the anniversary when in 1945, the first, and to date only, nuclear weapons were used in war. A uranium bomb nicknamed Little Boy, exploded over the Japanese city of Hiroshima and three days later a plutonium bomb nicknamed Fat Man detonated close to Nagasaki. By the end of that year the death tolls from the detonation and subsequent injuries were between 90,000 to 120,000 in Hiroshima (population 330,000) and 60,000 to 80,000 in Nagasaki (population 280,000). In amongst horrendous death and suffering, in the aftermath of the Japanese surrender on 2nd September 1945, medical researchers gathered data on the biological effects of radiation, especially from Hiroshima and the surrounding area. Known as the Life Span Study run by the Radiation Effects Research Foundation, scientists looked at the long-term effects of radiation and incidences of cancer in exposed and unexposed individuals.
Results from this study are used as part of modern risk assessments in setting limits for radioactive exposure in medicine and the nuclear industry. These data are only useful however, when correlated to radioactive exposure from the atomic explosions. Those measurements were impossible at the time of the detonation and so radiation exposure had to be based on theoretical estimations. That was until the 1980s, when science ever ingenious, found a way of effectively going back in time to measure the radioactive density which hit those Japanese cities in the last days of World War II.
In the city of Hiroshima, there’s a memorial called the atomic bomb dome. It’s what survives from the Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall and its oval dome of copper. The bomb vaporised most of the copper but some fragments survived. Copper has two principal isotopes, 63Cu and 65Cu. Isotopes are elements that have different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nucleus and consequentially, neutron bombardment can transform one isotope into another. In the case of 63Cu, neutron bombardment switches it to an isotope of nickel – 63Ni. This isotope is extremely rare in nature and so any 63Ni found in the remains of the copper dome had to result from neutrons released during the atomic explosion. By measuring the amount of 63Ni versus 63Cu in the surviving dome fragments, scientists could calculate the neutron density of the bomb. The original theoretical calculations didn’t exactly agree with measured values, but were nevertheless close enough to allow a recalibration of the risk assessments.* Isotopes, in this case, got us as close to a time machine as we’ll probably ever get.

Red Dog Logistics provides transportation services to and from the state of Arkansas for dry van shipments, flatbed shipments, intermodal shipments and LTL shipments. The state of Arkansas is home to several large corporations, including Walmart.
The eastern border of the state is outlined by the Mississippi River and provides water access to the gulf and the Great Lakes. Several rail lines run through the state providing access to rail transportation. All of these factors mean that shipping is big business to and from Arkansas, and at Red Dog Logistics, we have a transportation and shipping network that provides same-day capacity for all full truck load and LTL shipments, and a three day window for intermodal moves.
To facilitate and expedite that shipping process, Red Dog logistics offers an instant quoting engine. The online rate quote tool provides access to a free online freight rating engine that gives instant Arkansas freight rate quotes for 53’ dry van, 48’ flatbed, LTL, and 53’ intermodal container shipments.
Moreover, you can schedule your shipment immediately after you receive your instant quote, saving you time.
Red Dog Logistics continues to expand the dry van network for the state of Arkansas. Our network currently provides services from trucking companies in Arkansas to the entire state including the large cities of Little Rock and Fort Smith. Dry van shipping capacity varies from locations throughout the state, with many of the areas in southwest Arkansas experiencing shortages. We take in to account the shifts in demand such as these, and work hard to offer current market pricing for dry van shipments to our customers. Market pricing does not always work for every shipper -- some would rather deal with contract pricing that promises them a locked-in cost on an annual basis to help with forecast of the department’s budgetthroughout the year. To ease those concerns, our logistics department will provide contract pricing that will stabilize the rate throughout the year and provide consistent service and capacity at a high level of customer satisfaction.
Red Dog Logistics currently services the entire state, and also has several Arkansas trucking companies that offer large flatbed shippers located in the northeast corner of the state. We monitor the Arkansas flatbed market routinely, looking for great prices or opportunities in capacity or pricing that we can offer our customers. Our Arkansas logistics providers offer 48-foot flatbed equipment that routinely hauls steel, palletized roofing, and wood products throughout the state. Red Dog Logistics strives to bring several solutions to flatbed shippers including access to several different flatbed trailers, including hot shots, specialized, various lengths, and drops. As a logistics company, we have the expertise necessary for providing shippers with market pricing as well as the option to enter into contract pricing for shipments for consistency in frequency and cost.
Intermodal transportation is limited in Arkansas because of the distance from intermodal terminals to and from their origin and destinations within the state, however we do our best. The main intermodal ramp that currently services Arkansas is located just off the border in Memphis, TN. Because this is the only ramp servicing the state, it limits the effective use of the intermodal shipments because of the long drays and lack of equipment located throughout the state, and in order to offer our customers comprehensive services, Red Dog Logistics can give instant Arkansas freight rate quotes for cities located within a 100-mile radius of Memphis. If you are looking for a rate quote for cities that fall outside of this radius you will need to contact our quotes department at firstname.lastname@example.org.
Red Dog Logistics has contracts with the local LTL trucking companies that service the regional and intrastate moves in Arkansas, but we also have contracts with nationwide LTL trucking companies in Arkansas. Red Dog Logistics’ rate quote tool allows our LTL customers to get great instant quotes and rates. As one of the best LTL logistics companies in Arkansas,we have the expertise, technology and network to bring instant rating information to our LTL customers, allowing them to make quick shipping decisions regarding their LTL shipments.
To learn more about our services, contact Red Dog Logistics today and get an accurate Arkansas freight quote.

In a possible blow to financing a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium in Hillsborough County, Florida House Speaker Richard Corcoran filed a lawsuit against the city of Tampa for what he called an "illegal tax" on hotel rooms.
"To say that this is one of the most egregious cases of spitting in the face of the (state) constitution is an understatement," Corcoran told reporters in Tallahassee on Thursday.
Corcoran was referring to a $1.50 fee that began getting assessed at Ybor City and Tampa downtown hotels this summer to finance marketing efforts for the area. Officials say it will produce about $1 million this year, but could expand to include other hotels in the rest of Hillsborough County.
If the assessment is struck down, it could complicate efforts to finance a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium.
That's because the financing of a new stadium may rely on another source of revenue, an entertainment tax, that could be levied on parts of the county that teem with nightlife and leisure activities. The $1.50 assessment is similar in that it is only charged in Ybor and downtown Tampa.
Asked if the lawsuit could threaten some of the stadium's financing if it is found that an assessment of this type isn't legal, Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn said that was a possibility. But he also said the assessment isn't intended to finance a new Rays stadium, and Tampa was barely involved.
"It's not a tax," Buckhorn said. "It's an assessment that was requested by the hotels. We don't spend it. We weren't involved in it."
The assessment was requested by a dozen hotels, which sought approval from the City Council. Buckhorn said the county needed council approval before collecting it, but that approval is the extent of the city's involvement.
"It was a favor to the hotels," Buckhorn said. "It is intended to help them."
While it wasn't certain that Corcoran was taking aim at current plans for a new Rays stadium, he did make clear on Thursday that, as he has before, he vehemently opposes any tax dollars for sports stadiums.
Corcoran called the urge to raise public money for stadiums "government gone wild," borrowing a term popularized by Blaise Ingoglia, a Hernando state representative who is the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida and a Corcoran confidant.
If Tampa wants permission for this a new bed tax, Corcoran said, it needs to ask the Legislature.
Tampa has "engaged in an illegal tax," Corcoran said. "It's collected, maintained and distributed as bed tax language. They have no authority to do that. It's a state jurisdiction. They have to go to the Legislature for permission."
Corcoran told reporters he sees himself as a "guardian at the gate" against encroachments on state law.
"What makes America great?" Corcoran said. "Rule of law matters. The constitution matters. You can't just spit in the face of the constitution and expect society to survive."
But Buckhorn said this was another example of Corcoran's hypocrisy. At the same news conference, Corcoran touted his efforts to get local tourism boards to disclose terms of contracts with private vendors, even if that would expose trade secrets of the companies involved. Corcoran has also championed legislation that would limit powers of local governments to regulate everything from Uber to vacation rentals like Airbnb.
"This attempt to strip local government of its ability to control its own destiny is unprecedented," Buckhorn said. "And it's coming from a party that says a government closest to the people is the most effective. Maybe it's time to get Tallahassee out of our lives."
And while Corcoran has made a show of saving taxpayer dollars in his campaign against wayward local governments, his Tampa lawsuit doesn't come free.
According to a contract between the Florida House and the law firm Bush Ross obtained by the Associated Press, the legal battle could cost up to $50,000.
The law firm is politically connected. It was used by Gov. Rick Scott in the state's lawsuit against the Seminole Tribe. Anne-Leigh Gaylord Moe, a partner in the firm, was appointed by Scott as a judge in the 13th Circuit in March.

My love of travel far outweighs my budget for it, so when I do get the opportunity to travel, and once I do, I cherish every minute!
I had read the whole itinerary and some reviews so I knew what to expect. It was a great tour! The guide was very pleasant and informative, the tour guide for the castle and wine tasting was also wonderful. Mario is a hoot and God Bless him for taking care of the castle all those years! The wine, olive oil, and bruschetta was outstanding, as well as the scenery outsidet. This was the best break from all the walking we had done! I would definately recommend this tour, although it would be nice to have a bathroom on the bus!
I was very excited about this class, and was not disappointed! With a short introduction we got right to work. The pace was perfect and the skill level was appropriate. The menu was excellent - gnocchi, chicken (pollo) with roasted red pepper and balsamic vinegar with rosemary, and finally tirimasu! The instructors were personable, professional, and patient. I would recommend this class!!
