Waste not, want not might be an old-fashioned axiom confined to the lexicon of finger‑wagging grandparents, but a 34-year-old from Colombia has turned it into his life mission.
Bogota-based Oscar Méndez is, to borrow another saying, killing two birds with one stone.
His company, Concepticos Plásticos, transforms discarded plastic into construction material to build permanent homes, tackling two of the biggest environmental, economic and social challenges facing the world today: pollution and homelessness.
“Plastic waste is a global problem, and the housing deficit is also a major problem in many countries,” says Méndez, who trained as an architect. “Concepticos Plásticos provides a solution to both of these issues.”
In Bogota, Méndez says, 6,300 tons of rubbish are sent to the landfill every day. Meanwhile, in some areas of Latin America, more than 40 per cent of people are inadequately housed.
These problems are not limited to Colombia, and the effects of waste and homelessness have ramifications all over the world.
“The problem is the negative impact of plastic in the environment and the existence of fragile housing in vulnerable communities, which accelerates global warming and the inequality gap,” Méndez says.
“Our materials contribute in the fight against extreme poverty, improve informal settlements (such as refugee camps) and create sustainable living conditions,” he adds. “Closed plastic recycling is one of the best ways to fulfil a social task and benefit vulnerable communities.”
What’s more, by turning plastic waste into Lego-like building blocks, Concepticos Plásticos also empowers these disadvantaged and displaced groups by enabling them to build their own homes.
The enterprise, which was started in 2010, recently won $300,000 from The Venture, whisky brand Chivas Regal’s annual search for the most innovative start-ups. It beat more than 2,500 applications from other scalable and sustainable social enterprises.
Alexandre Ricard, the boss of Chivas Regal owner Pernod Ricard and a judge at The Venture, called Concepticos Plásticos “a great example of how innovative, passionate and forward-thinking the social entrepreneurship movement is.”
It hasn’t been an easy ride for the company. The first challenge, Méndez says, was “breaking the barriers of the traditional construction market that is saturated with old systems”. The second was even tougher: getting polluting manufacturers to admit responsibility and start including Concepticos Plásticos’s processes so their waste could be recycled into bricks.
But Méndez is – brick by brick – making progress. The fact that he has caught the attention of investors is in itself a major step towards success. As he puts it: “Indifference is the biggest challenge facing global warming and extreme poverty.”
Méndez says he has more than 70 countries interested in his product. Let’s hope this opportunity doesn’t go to waste.

Public Release: 20-Nov-2007
Leiden, The Netherlands – November 20, 2007 – According to a new study published in Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, regular participation in sports reduces the risk of developing blood clots by 39 percent in women and 22 percent in men.
“Women were shown to be even more likely to reap the benefits of regular sporting activities than men,” says F.R. Rosendaal, co-author of the study. “When we excluded women who were pregnant or receiving oral contraceptive or hormone replacement therapy – all possible causes of blood clots – the risk for women was reduced by 55 percent.”
The findings also show that people who did not participate in sports were more than four-times as likely to develop a blood clot if they were obese (with a body mass index of 30 or greater) than lean (with a body mass index of less than 25).
“When we looked at the results, we found that, overall, the mere fact that people took part in a sporting activity at least once a week was enough to lower their risk of blood clots,” say the authors.

Top Customer Reviews
The story set in Mid-Western America 1800s in a miles from no where town where if a man sees a woman he wants he can just take her, short of clubbing her over the head and dragging her away by the hair, and in this story it pretty much happened that way.
The heroine Penelope makes a stop on stage coach into a one horse town and within minutes meets a man who she barely says a handful of words to, who just from a glance and a brief conversation decides that he wants her, and processed to kidnap her on her way out of town, from the time the man abducts Penelope he is verbally and physically abusive towards her.
The rest of the book follows that vain, not giving any mentally sane justification as to why this man Charles has taken Penelope, the only warped explanation he gives her is that a woman should know her place, and it's Charles personal mission to teach Penelope her place. The rest of the book was a study in Stockholm Syndrome, where at the end of it all no matter how much the author tried to pretty it up into a love story, a line from the heroine to another character sums up the sentiment of the whole story "You either die in it, or you live in it".
I'm all for an alpha male on a story and even a little dubious consent, but I just felt that no one in this story actually ended up happy accept for the hero, and I just couldn't bring myself to care.
I normally leave off with a "Happy Reading" at the end of a review, but I need a cookie and wine break, yes that's a thing, in order to sooth me after reading this book.
The synopsis is better written than the book. There are several typos and better sentence editing is needed. The print is much larger than most kindle books (except for the two other books that I have read by this author). The book is quite short. I read it in less than 90 minutes.

What is PMI (Product Manufacturing Information)?
Product manufacturing information (PMI) is essential engineering or manufacturing information embedded within a 3D CAD file. It is governed by ASME and ISO industry standards.
PMI may include the following information:
- GD&T (Geometric dimensions & tolerances).
- Bill of materials (BOM).
- Surface finish.
- Weld symbols.
- Material specifications.
- Metadata & notes.
- History of engineering change orders.
- Legal/proprietary/export control notices.
- Other definitive digital data.
3D PMI is a significant step to digital transformation and quality control for any company or department.
Once design engineers complete their 3D CAD, they spend additional time to create 2D drawings from their 3D design to convey product & process information such as GD&T.
Then manufacturing or quality control engineers rely on those 2D drawings to MANUALLY enter GD&T and other data into their CMM (coordinate-measuring machine) or CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) software– occasionally, interpreting ambiguous data from 2D designs.
Converting and relying on 2D drawings are unnecessary when essential & correct data can already be included within the 3D CAD. This frees up time & resources for design and manufacturing and highly reduces the potential for error.
More importantly, this becomes a starting point to bridge departments and companies into digital transformation & automation.
Top 10 Pitfalls of 2D Drawings
- Not machine-readable
- 3D visualization is mainstream, mobile, and affordable.
- Wasted effort to recreate 2D from 3D.
- Less information available — the product will exist in 3 dimensions, why reduce its definition to 2?
- More prone to interpretation and data inaccuracies. Up to 60% of 2D drawings do not match 3D models.
- Aren’t adequate to convey design intent.
- More back and forth and time wasted on clarifying designs.
- Not suitable for cross-department collaboration.
- Another document to the pile & workflow.
- Simple change in production definition requires changes to all 2D documentation.
Semantic PMI + 3D CAD = The Key to Model-Based Definition
The process of applying PMI to the 3D CAD as the one authority model from design to production is called MBD (model-based definition).
PMI can be broken down into two levels.
The first is graphical PMI or human-readable PMI. The 3D annotations are included in the model, but cannot be read by machines. So while the tolerances and dimensions are digitally included, it's not consumable downstream. Essentially, it's a half-step towards MBD.
The second is semantic PMI or machine-readable PMI. It is human-readable and also consumable by machines/computers for downstream use in CAD, CAM, and CMM. This is true manufacturing automation that is the intent of MBD.
MBD aims to maintain continuity throughout the downstream process, because various documents & engineering changes like updating the 3D model but not updating 2D drawings and vice versa lead to unintended deviations that either slow down production or at worst, produce an inaccurate part.
This can cost a company thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars because of one simple GD&T mistake.
This mistake happens because 3D models are machine-readable, but 2D drawings are human-readable. And when dealing with different CAD/CAM systems from different companies sharing with different departments with different processes, the complexity and potential for oversight & redundancies only increases.
Integrating PMI into 3D CAD allows one file to be machine and human-readable thus improving efficiency. Therefore MBD and the model-based approach hopes to reduce time, save costs, and streamline processes.
The practice of using 3D CAD + PMI has proven to save up to 80% of time from design to production to quality control compared to 2D drawings and the drawing-centric approach.

21 Reasons Why PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) is Important
- Man hours saved: up to 80% time saved compared to drawing-centric approach.
- Frees up engineering time for improving design and products.
- Communicates designer’s intent.
- Next generation of engineers see and design in 3D.
- Improves engineer skillset to learn and apply new insights.
- Single source of truth & data authority.
- Reduces human error through typing or interpretation.
- Eliminates redundant annotations.
- Up-to-up information embedded & easily revisable.
- Machine-readable 3D CAD & PMI for automation.
- Removes the “middle man” or engineering drawings.
- More feature-rich data for better instructions for the end-user.
- More iteration and process breakthrough improvement.
- Higher quality inspections with measurement optimization algorithms.
- Reusable information housed in a single source across multiple lifecycles & processes.
- Better two-way communication and easier collaboration among stakeholders.
- Part of MBD process: Better products, better pricing, better margins.
- Shorter product development cycles, faster time to market.
- Global interoperable standard at the software level.
- Enables MBE (model-based enterprise): Staying competitive, first-mover advantage.
- Scalable practice from one part to one department to one factory to enterprise-wide.
What are the Challenges to Adopting PMI?
First is the cultural challenge. Traditional practices and processes are about repeatability & stability.
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
However, with the dynamic changes in today’s business climate, time-to-market along with innovation & cost-cutting is the three-headed monster companies must face in staying relevant as competition advances.
The horse was just fine...until Henry Ford produced a “faster horse.”
Second is a lack of CAD software support for 3D GD&T and file compatibility from vendors such as NX, CATIA, Creo, Solidworks, and others. With different companies, departments, and suppliers using different CAD/CAM software, file translation, validation, and compatibility become a major roadblock.
Third is a lack of formal training and skills to create and interpret 3D GD&T. A mistake made during design becomes a classic case of garbage in, garbage out downstream.
Therefore layout, symbols, and formatting to best and accurate practices (e.g. ASME 14.5, ASME Y14.41) is crucial to having proper and reusable PMI. As MBD adoption grows–culture, company, and skills will begin to understand and incorporate PMI and its benefits.
Benefits of PMI By Department
How PMI Affects Design
While initial MBD annotations does increase amount of hours in the early run, downstream it provides from 65% to 80% time savings immediately for annotation, machining, and inspection processes together.
And as engineers learn how to properly define machine-readable PMI, MBD annotations become faster than 2D.
How PMI Affects Manufacturing & Quality Control
A study by Capvidia presented at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) shows up to an 81% time reduction for CMM process when using MBD.
How PMI Affects Business
The average salary for a design, mechanical, and quality control engineer ranges from $60K to $82K a year with top earners above $125K. With taxes, benefits, overhead, and other employee investments, the fully burdened cost is probably 2X an engineers salary.
With up to 80% time & work reduction, this either frees up skilled engineers to work on other projects or refine current ones for breakthroughs.
It also eliminates redundancies for a better product and bottom line.
How to Implement PMI?
- Define people who are directly involved with 2D drawings.
- Document current practices, communication exchange, and technologies.
- Identify a pilot project.
- Get design or drafting team to start implementing PMI onto 3D model.
- Work with downstream departments and team to use 3D model + PMI.
- Track progress.
- Measure ROI.
- Take insights and expand into next MBD project while building up MBD education.

STRASBURG, Pa. -- A clinic in Strasburg specializes in treating children with genetic diseases. One group prone to those diseases are the Amish, and the diseases need to be detected early to prevent severe problems.
The Clinic for Special Children was built in 1990 and treats around 200 genetic disorders. Many cause severe disability, illness and untimely death if not treated.
Some examples of those diseases are maple syrup urine disease, glutaric aciduria type I, and Severe Combined Immunodeficiency - or SCID. Children with SCID may look healthy as newborns but ultimately develops infections that can kill them.
Dr. Katie Williams, a pediatrician at the Clinic for Special Children, said, "We can identify those children early, start them on appropriate treatment and keep them from getting chronically ill, or having multiple hospitalizations or going to a center that's just not as familiar with the genetic background and having a very expensive diagnostic work up."
Those diseases are common in the Amish community because the Amish stem from a small founding group of people, and Williams said the clinic in addition to saving lives, saves the local population millions of dollars in medical costs.
"The children stay healthy, they stay out of the hospital, they can go on to be productive adults that have a job and a family of their own. And it's not only better for their quality of life but it saves a lot of money from all those added medical costs."
Only 15 percent of their funds comes from actual billing.
"We charge very little for the services we provide here so that people have affordable care and that's important to us to keep those costs down. But we're able to do that because of all these donations and because of the generous support from the Plains community," she said.
The clinic also negotiated discount programs with hospitals to have affordable health care for the patients.
"I think the clinic is a really, really unique place. I don't think there's any place just like it in the world. And I think it's a great resource for patients in this community who are from a plain background, and don't have health insurance that need good, affordable health care for their children," she said.
Williams said they receive their funds from local community auctions and endowments from universities. They also receive donations from outside parties who appreciate what the clinic is doing.

In December, Viera Lodge members donated 48 gifts to the Brevard County Triad’s Senior Santa Project. This project’s goal is to provide holiday gifts to elderly patients in nursing homes and hospice settings, mainly to those residents who do not have much local support and would probably not receive anything for the holidays. Brevard County Triad is a countywide partnership led by the sheriff’s office, local police and the state attorney’s office, which focuses on senior issues in Brevard County.
On Oct. 23, Sebastian Elks Lodge #2714 was a silver sponsor of the Sebastian Police Department COPE (Community Oriented Policing Endeavor) Unit’s inaugural Unity Cup Golf Tournament with a $1000 donation. The mission of the COPE Unit is to create partnerships between the community and the Sebastian Police Department, to develop and employ proactive crime prevention strategies, and to promote the department’s resources to the community. The COPE Unit hosts events throughout the city where members meet with citizens, distribute crime prevention materials and build relationships to create a lasting environment of cooperation between the police and the citizens of Sebastian. Pauline Talbott, Southeast Central District and Lodge Drug Awareness Chair, and Mary Ducharme, president of the EL-DOEs, the lodge’s ladies organization, had a display at the 12th hole kicking off Red Ribbon Week promoting the Elks Drug Awareness program. They also shared information on the many projects supported by the Elks such as Florida Elks Youth Camp, Florida Elks Children’s Therapy Services, Army of Hope, and college scholarships as well as local community charities such as Little Birthday Angels, Sebastian Elementary Backpack Buddies, and the Ecumenical Food Pantry of Sebastian. Several lodge members participated in the tournament, too.

Quoth the King, "Now, by the life of my head! " So he set off gallopping on the gazelle's trail and gave not over tracking till he reached the foot hills of a mountain chain where the quarry made for a cave. Then the King cast off at it the falcon which presently caught it up and, swooping down, drove her talons into its eyes, bewildering and blinding it;[FN#88] and the King drew his mace and struck a blow which rolled the game over. He then dismounted; and, after cutting the antelope's throat and flaying the body, hung it to the pommel of his saddle.

Pregnancy is a miraculous journey that brings joy, anticipation, and, of course, a heightened focus on health. One crucial aspect that deserves special attention during this period is the monitoring of blood sugar levels. In this blog post, we will explore the significance of keeping blood sugar in check throughout pregnancy and how it contributes to a healthy and complication-free childbirth experience.
Understanding the Importance of Blood Sugar Monitoring in Pregnancy
Maintaining optimal blood sugar levels is essential for the well-being of both the mother and the developing baby. High blood sugar levels, often associated with gestational diabetes, can pose risks such as macrosomia (large birth weight), premature birth, and complications during delivery. On the other hand, low blood sugar levels can lead to developmental issues for the baby.

US aid intended to help ordinary Palestinians is currently diverted by the Palestinian Authority to finance terror. How should these funds be spent instead?
The World Jewish Congress started a campaign to collect ideas on how Palestinian leaders should be spending the $360 million of hard-earned taxpayer funds they receive as aid each year.
Using the hashtag #STOPTerrorPay, the campaign is encouraging social media responses which will be delivered to key policy makers involved with grants to the Palestinian Authority.
Currently, aid money does not reach Palestinian women, children and the infirm, and is instead spent on terrorists’ “salaries.”
Listen as four Israelis offer their own ideas on the proper use of foreign aid. As the saying goes, to fight corruption, “follow the money!”

Achieving water quality goals for the Gulf of Mexico may take decades, according to findings by researchers at the University of Waterloo.
The results, which appear in Science, suggest that policy goals for reducing the size of the northern Gulf of Mexico's dead zone may be unrealistic, and that major changes in agricultural and river management practices may be necessary to achieve the desired improvements in water quality.
The transport of large quantities of nitrogen from rivers and streams across the North American corn belt has been linked to the development of a large dead zone in the northern Gulf of Mexico, where massive algal blooms lead to oxygen depletion, making it difficult for marine life to survive.
"Despite the investment of large amounts of money in recent years to improve water quality, the area of last year's dead zone was more than 22,000 km2--about the size of the state of New Jersey," said Kimberly Van Meter, lead author of the paper and a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Waterloo.
Using more than two centuries of agricultural data, the scientists show that nitrogen has been accumulating in soils and groundwater over years of intensive agricultural production and will continue to make its way to the coast for decades.
Water quality has become increasingly impaired in the northern Gulf of Mexico since the 1950s, largely due to both intensive livestock production and the widespread use of commercial fertilizers across the Mississippi River Basin. Manure and fertilizer are rich in nitrogen, a nutrient that boosts crop production, but when present in excess can pose a threat to both human health and to aquatic ecosystems.
"We are seeing long time lags between the adoption of conservation measures by farmers and any measurable improvements in water quality," said Prof. Nandita Basu, senior author of the study.
Modelling results from the current work show that even under best-case scenarios, where effective conservation measures are immediately implemented, it will take on the order of 30 years to deplete the accumulated excess nitrogen currently stored within the agricultural landscape.
"This is not just a problem in the Mississippi River Basin," says Basu, an associate professor cross-appointed between the departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth and Environmental Sciences. "As the need for intensive agricultural production continues to grow, nitrogen legacies are also increasing, creating a long-term problem for coastal habitats around the world."
The research team includes Prof. Philippe Van Cappellen, Canada Excellence Research Chair in Ecohydrology and a professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences.
The group is currently extending their analysis to phosphorus, a major driver of algal blooms in the Great Lakes and other inland waters.


Hon. Hensley Daniel, Minister of Health in the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) assured local people about the reintroduction of the Cuban based eye care programme.
While in Cuba last week the Minister of Health arranged to restart the Operation Miracle Vision programme once again. This helpful programme that provides affordable health care to the people of Nevis was suspended by the former administration.
According to the minister, at first Cuban officials will come for a preliminary assessment about the nature of the eye care programme, the nature and extent of the diseases and then the programme will continue in its initial format where the patients can go to Cuba and be treated.
Cuba's "Operation Miracle." is the brainchild of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Cuban President Fidel Castro, this extraordinary humanitarian program has restored sight to patients from poor villages of Central and South America. It offers free treatment while delivering successful eye operations.
According to the mid 2008 account by Cuban Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Eumilio Caballero about one million patients from 31 Third World countries have had their vision restored thanks to the labor of Cuban doctors as part of the Operation Miracle program.
The Cuban and Venezuelan governments have announced that they are offering eye surgery to anyone living in the western hemisphere, including the USA, with an inclusive package including return journeys to Cuba for the patient and a companion, and medicines for the inclusive price of - nothing.
Under the Operation Miracle Vision Programme, some 1.5 million persons from Latin America and the Caribbean have been operated on in Cuba for various optical ailments.

President Mohammadu Buhari on Thursday asked governors on the platform of the All Progressive Congress, (APC) to give him more time to decide whether or not he was going to contest the 2019 presidential election.
The President told the governors led by Imo state governors, Rochas Okorocha at a meeting held at the First Lady Conference Room in the villa, Abuja.
Buhari, according to Okorocha, in an interview with state house correspondent said the president asked to be giving more time to decide.
He said, “We discussed so many issues that affect the nation, our party and Mr President’s ambition to run for 2019 elections.
“Anyhow, Mr President in his usual manner has requested that we give him time and that he will address the nation and the caucus of the party very soon.
“So we should be full of expectations that Mr President will make officially known to Nigerians his intentions.
“But we hope that his response will be in line with what the governors are thinking, as it is the desire of the governors that the President seek re-election in view of his tremendous performances in the last two and half years.’’.

Getting your holiday pics "etched" on the wedding lehenga is the HOTTEST new bridal trend!
The latest experiment in bridal wear to embroider photographs on the ‘Lehenga’ is on its way to becoming a trend by itself. Here’s the full story…
There’s a new trend that is ruling bridal fashion these days–getting your love story etched on your wedding lehenga. Started by famous Tamil actress Samatha Prabhu, who got her love story with actor Naga Chaitanya embroidered on her engagement saree, the fad is quickly catching up with fashionable new brides.
Earlier it was the Indian designer Kresha Bajaj and now new bride Astha Arora has followed suit in creating a masterpiece of a ‘Lehenga’. Astha, a stylist by profession, recreated pics from her Goa trip that she took with her husband by weaving them into her sangeet lehenga.
Both these gorgeous ladies attempted to relive some of their beautiful memories by having photographs embroidered on their bridal Lehengas. In short, the ‘Lehengas’ narrate their love stories and are definitely going to be much more special for both these creative ladies.
For my wedding, I decided to design all my outfits under my brand @koecsh which I was very excited and comfortable doing as I wear super edgy stuff that isn't usually what I am able to find. For the pheras, I felt a bit challenged because I don’t like not being able to use the same garment multiple times in multiple ways for multiple occasions. As I knew my Wedding lehenga would be something I would only wear once, I decided to make it a piece of artwork that I would later frame. In order to make it into a special piece of art I decided to embroider my entire lehenga with Vanraj & my story – our milestones, the proposal, and all our important moments up until the wedding. I used traditional embroidery techniques and materials, and all around the lehenga you will see hidden elements sewn into the garment. Our names are embroidered into the garments, pictures of our story framed with embroidery and finished with a hem of jumping dolphins, which was the beginning of our story as we worked together on a protest against cetacean captivity. Read all about my how I designed my dream wedding lehenga on @missmalini (link in bio)
Most brides wonder what they would do with their wedding attires because they get rather heavy for any other occasion. Many brides also choose to dress in the simplistic manner to avoid such waste of money and resources at the same time every bride wants to look the best and special on her D- Day. Well, it isn’t as difficult as it sounds!
Here are some interesting ways to use your wedding attires later on…
1.Display your wedding attire as an artwork: Creating beautiful art collages from these heavy yet beautiful outfits can be a great idea. You can also scratch your heads to come up with extraordinary designs such as embroidering them with photos, names, important dates and so on.
2.Pass it on to the next generations: Another traditional way of reusing the bridal wear is to hand it over to your daughters or daughters- in- law who can wear it on important occasions like engagements, sangeet functions that happen in the family. Saris can also be converted into salwar suits or lehengas for your little princesses.
3. Transform the fabric into useful things: You could convert your wedding dresses into things such as a clutch or a purse, cushion covers, bedspreads and so on that you would use exclusively and on special occasions.
So ladies, what would be your favourite way to continue treasuring your wedding attire?

Neuropsychiatrist, physician, and medical intuitive Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz discussed how she uses intuition to diagnose health problems. She first became interested in medical intuition when she sought treatment for her own health problems. Working with clients over the phone, she makes a drawing of their brain and body, and the various connections. One could think of the body like a car's dashboard with various warning lights, she said. When we get symptoms in the body, these can be like warning lights, that we need to figure out what's behind them, she continued.
Dr. Schulz outlined 7 warning lights on the body's dashboard or 'emotional centers' that light up when undergoing a particular issue in your life:
She also talked about her training techniques at her Intuition Academy, and how sometimes when you hear a voice in your head you may be being picking up the thoughts of others. The area in the brain where intuition is located is near where spirituality is, and that is why people sometimes confuse the two, she noted. Ultimately, Dr. Schulz said, you have to combine intuition with information to make the best decisions.
First hour guest, plastic surgeon Dr. Tony Youn spoke about some of the cases he's worked on, as well as insider medical secrets. Some people that have a lot of plastic surgery suffer from Body Dysmorphic Disorder, in which they don't see themselves the way that others see them, he explained. Dr. Youn revealed that July is the worst month to get sick and go to the hospital-- as this is when the new interns start, and they are more likely to make mistakes than seasoned doctors.

Web design is an essential part of a company’s digital marketing strategy. Without it, companies can lose conversions and ad dollars.
There are a variety of ways to find a web designer, from searching through freelance marketplaces to networking at industry-specific events. We’ve rounded up nine tips to help you find the right one for your needs.
Ask for References
When it comes to finding a web designer, one of the best ways to find them is to ask for references. It is a good idea to ask them if they can provide you with a written testimonial from a previous client about how easy they were to work with and if the project they completed was on time and within budget.
The next important thing to do is to look at their portfolio. This will give you a good idea of the type of designs they are capable of.
It is also a good idea to check out their websites and social media profiles. Many designers use these platforms to showcase their work and attract new clients.
Lastly, it is also important to check out their work ethic. You want to hire a web designer who is committed to their work and willing to put in the hard hours necessary to complete your project.
Look at Their Portfolio
A website design portfolio is a designer’s best way to showcase their work. It’s also a good place to find out more about a designer’s experience, expertise and personality.
Whether you’re looking for a freelance or full-time web designer, it’s important to take the time to look at their portfolio. This will help you determine if they are a good fit for your project.
You can find out more about a designer’s portfolio by searching for their name online. This will give you a list of their past and current projects, along with their website URL.
Another important thing to consider is the type of clients they’re working with. They should be able to demonstrate that their web design is a good fit for your business and industry.
Look at Their Websites
A great way to find web designer inspiration is to browse the websites of businesses that are similar to yours. This is particularly helpful if you’re looking for a website designer who specializes in your industry.
Whether it’s visually stunning or interactive, each site has something special to offer the world. For example, Critical Danger’s site was a one-of-a-kind merchandise shop for endangered animals that used art, illustration, and compelling storytelling to engage viewers.
The design of the website also pushed the status quo in terms of sound, value, and usability. Each site has something to teach us about how to create a successful online experience.
When it comes to finding a web designer, you’ll want to be sure that they can meet your needs and provide high-quality work. To minimize the risk of hiring a bad web designer, you can also ask them for references from companies they’ve worked with in the past.
Look at Their Social Media
A web designer is a cross between a graphic artist and a programmer, using creative graphic skills along with HTML and CSS to create aesthetically pleasing websites that are also easy to navigate. Their job is to meet user expectations and client specifications.
They do this by taking a client’s content and organizing it into a website that is both visually appealing and informative. They also consider how their design translates on mobile devices and use a variety of techniques to make sure they’re giving users the best experience possible.
One of the simplest ways to find a good web designer is to look at their social media. LinkedIn is a popular choice, but you can also follow other web designers on Twitter and Instagram. This allows you to see what they’re all about and if they can be of any help to you or your business. It’s also a good way to stay in touch with past clients and get referrals from new ones.

Clifford partnering with Reverse the Red; Stowell joining the TESSERE Zoos & Aquariums Team
WICHITA, KS – TESSERE Architecture’s Zoos and Aquariums Division, a nationally recognized leader in zoological conservation initiatives within zoos and aquariums, and always on the lookout for new and exciting opportunities to expand on these efforts, announces a new partnership with their very own, Mike Clifford, in support of his new role with the international conservation consortium Reverse the Red. At the same time, we are equally excited to announce Stephanie Stowell, former director with the Albuquerque BioPark and longtime executive leader within AZA, to TESSERE Zoos as Director of Innovation and Planning. These changes will allow TESSERE to enhance its already groundbreaking immersive designs and be better partners for conservation.
As Strategy Director for Reverse the Red, Mike will be facilitating strategic efforts to amplify and accelerate conservation action to reverse the decline of species with organizations like Zoos, Aquariums, Botanical Gardens, IUCN, NGOs, and National Governments. This partnership will also allow Mike to be a global advocate for innovation and conservation impact for TESSERE projects. His profound expertise and passion for zoos and aquariums has been instrumental in the growth and success of the Division, and his thought leadership in ECHO has driven innovation across the zoo and aquarium community. We are excited to witness the positive impact he will continue to make in his new role.
“Zoos and aquariums play an essential role in a coordinated global effort to reverse species decline. I’m deeply honored and very excited to be in a position to foster impact-driven strategic action for all types of organizations, Clifford said. “My time with TESSERE Zoos has been amazing, and I’m so thankful that I’ll be able to continue supporting the Division as we support our zoological partners in the amazing work they do to ensure a thriving world for all living things!”
Stephanie has worked with several AZA facilities in multiple capacities, from director and executive team to leading learning, audience research, conservation, and engagement efforts. Stephanie knows first-hand the impact that the built environment can have on animal well-being and in engaging the public in support of conservation efforts and will add that knowledge to the Zoos and Aquariums Division’s program development and strategic planning tool chest. Stephanie will create innovative engagement opportunities and ensure high-quality care and habitats for animal ambassadors through the development of strategic, master, and long-range plans; program designs; and implementation projects.
“What drew me to TESSERE was their holistic approach to zoo and aquarium design,” Stowell said. “In addition to the depth of expertise in architecture and planning, many members of the team come to this work from an animal care, education, and guest engagement perspective, which makes for more innovative designs. I’m excited to expand on the integrated planning services of the team to produce the most robust and comprehensive designs and experiences that align with our client’s evolving priorities for animal well-being, guest engagement, and conservation impacts.”
Since its founding in 2011 by Vice President and Division Lead Craig Rhodes, our Zoos and Aquariums Division has witnessed remarkable growth, transforming into a global leader in zoological design. Our tenacious team of talented designers, architects, landscape architects, project managers, and zoological professionals are deeply committed to advancing the collective mission of zoos and aquariums – conserving animals worldwide. As our team continues to grow, our passion and expertise will drive innovation and transform the face of zoos and aquariums for the better. Together with Reverse the Red and all our partners, we are unwavering in our commitment to excellence and a positive impact on the health and resilience of our planet.

I am writing this letter as one of many who represent Tiger Nation. Those of us who faithfully follow our beloved LSU in most every sport. But like most, the football program holds a very special place in our heart.
Since toddlers, we began our maturation in the cool shadows of the grand stately oaks, the clock tower, and Tiger Stadium. The LSU campus became like a second home. I can not recollect the countless occasions my grandmother would take my sister and me down to the lakes to feed the ducks. And never did we leave without seeing Mike the Tiger, or do a toss and tumble down the Indian Hills. A hair full of grass, and the itch on my legs and arms that came along was always welcomed. Keep in mind, however, rowdy play was never without caution, so as to not stain my LSU T-shirt or jersey. These garments were sacred—blue jeans and shorts weren’t, and often brought many under the breath comments made by maw maw.
I can remember as a child, these times of play and splendor would dance in my dreams at night, and I could see the little boy who looked like me, stare up at the great stadium wall, peeking through the gates to get a glimpse of the field…with hopes of playing there one day. Tiger Stadium was so grand and mesmerizing.
I’m sure like most fans, growing up around a major university and its program can manifest itself in many forms of love, passion, and warmth. I don’t know anyone close to me who hasn’t made some sort of change in plans, or life deciding events around the fall football season. How dare anyone schedule a wedding, or a birthday party on a home game…it’s almost sacrilegious—Not to mention tacky.
I know you’re familiar with all of this, and I’m sure you have the same passion for your beloved Michigan team, and have a story of your own. I know also that you love LSU equally; maybe even more so now that you have led us to many victories since coming to Baton Rouge. You have been adopted into the Tiger Family with a zeal and love from us all. Well, most true Tiger Fans anyway. Those who are "Johnny come lately", boo-birds, and over-all haters, don’t count as true fans.
I wanted to write this letter to encourage you and your staff to continue in earnest. Football is such a great teacher of life lessons. Hopes and dreams often don’t materialize the way we always would like. The pain of failure and sacrifice are all too common in our journey of becoming the man or woman God has placed in our hearts to be through gifts, potential, and talents unfulfilled, or yet unrecognized.
The loss to Florida was painful to watch. I am perplexed as to how our offense is struggling so greatly. Even with last year’s challenges at the quarterback position, we still managed to score an average of close to 30 points a game. Obviously, not knowing the changes, or the game-plan going into each game, I can not comment intelligently on the difference of last year compared to now. It would seem as though the offense is too difficult to run. Can we have last year’s offense back?
The defense is doing so much better, and I am thankful. Coach Chavis and the rest of the coaches are doing such a great job. I feel confident that they will continue to jell and get better.
Coach, I’ve never had the opportunity to meet you, and most likely never will in person, but I want to end by thanking you for your commitment, sacrifice, and love you give to our love—the LSU Tigers. You are a leader, mentor, and teacher of young men of not just football schemes, drills, and objectives, but values, ethics, and morality that will far exceed in the hearts of these young men, and the lives they touch as God places them in whatever venue and capacity He so chooses.
I tip my cap to you coach. Keep up the good work—keep the faith. Only through failure is success possible. As severe heat is needed to burn the dross from fine metals...so is adversity for the hearts of man, to reveal what's true, precious, and pure; Character, Long Suffering, Wisdom, Resolve, Compassion, Mercy, Humility, Sacrifice, Grace, Love.
As the late great Winston Churchill once was quoted as saying; “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Geaux Tigers!
Sincerely, Dale Weaver

ABOUT NILES CITY:
Niles City, three miles north of the business center of Fort Worth in central Tarrant County, was incorporated in February 1911. The town was called “the richest little city in the state of Texas” because of the high value of several corporations within its boundaries. It was named in honor of Louville Veranus Niles of Boston, Massachusetts, a large stockholder in the Fort Worth Stock Yards Company; Niles was given credit for the fact that the Swift and Armour packing companies located their plants in the vicinity. The Fort Worth Stockyards, including the Live Stock Exchange Building and the packing plants, all located within the Niles City corporate limits, were valued at over $12 million in 1911. Because of these historic facts, the band decided on the name to reflect a wealth of musical richness and diversity and to commemorate an area in Texas steeped in country music tradition.

my cat had ear mites, which she's been given medication for. however, just over the past week, her ear scratching became more excessive and she's losing her balance all over the place. I did take her to a vet today, who said she had a yeast infection and wax buildup in both ears, one worse than the other. she keeps flopping over whenever she shakes her head or moves too fast. she's eating normally, pretty active and having normal bowel movements and urination. I want to think it's just because all of that is affecting her equilibrium, especially if it got into the inner or middle ear. It's just so sad to see her falling over every 10 minutes. I guess I'm just paranoid that something is neurologically wrong. She has been given an ear wash and ointment that I have to give to her for 10-14 days.

Amanda Knox Bowling Benefit at WS Bowl March 20
The West Seattle Bowl fundraiser event for West Seattle-raised Amanda Knox March 20 is sponsored by friends Al Semple who was born and raised in West Seattle, and Julie Rogers, of Sammamish. You may recall they threw a fundraiser last October at Shadowland.
“My heart goes out to Amanda’s parents, not being able to protect her from a distance,” said Rogers. “My condolences go to the Kercher family as well. The bottom line is closure, and the media doesn’t help the way they are portraying Amanda. It’s unfortunate, but the truth will come out in the end.”

What Is Orthorexia?
Have you heard of orthorexia? Do you consider yourself orthorexic because you eat healthy and avoid certain foods? Or is it “normal” to eat healthy, and still not want to eat certain foods?
Orthorexia, the “obsession with healthy eating,” is a classified eating disorder according to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).
It is defined as: “an obsession with eating foods that one considers healthy; a medical condition in which the sufferer systematically avoids specific foods in the belief that they are harmful.”
Like those with other eating disorders, individuals who struggle with orthorexia often find themselves a little bit obsessed, anxious or overthinking food on a daily basis.
However, sounds quite a bit like those who are on any current diet or health protocol to recover their health doesn’t it?
From the Whole 30, to Keto, Vegan, GAPS, the Autoimmune Protocol, Paleo—and everything in between—many individuals who adhere to certain diets for health and wellness reasons can easily find themselves a little bit obsessed or anxious as well with food.
The lines may blur, but there are distinct differences:
ORTHOREXIC VS. HEALTHY EATING: THE DIFFERENCE
Some examples and characteristic differences in orthorexic patterns vs. genuine healthy eating include:
- Research every ingredient in any food they eat
- Google search answers to random health questions in search of the healthiest answer
- Often have self-imposed rules (from multiple different sources online or experience) that construct a restrictive diet
- Increasingly become more and more restrictive
- May only eat 5-7 foods and tend to eat the same things every day
- Emotionally distraught if food does not go as planned or in unknown situations (social settings, new restaurants, travel)
- Feel guilty when stray from rules
- Avoid foods prepped by others and/or social situations with food
- Find a sense of achievement or self esteem in what they eat
- Often talk or obsess about foods
- Think critically about others who do not eat like they do
- Overtraining or rigid/routine exercise is often correlated
- Strong beliefs about “good” and “bad” foods
- Adhere to certain dietary guidelines, based on physical health reasons
- Not distraught if they can’t go to their restaurant of choice
- Open to trying new foods (especially if they are feel-good foods)
- Recognize that eating can’t always be perfect, and adhere to more of an 80/20 philosophy
- Aim to incorporate as much variety and different foods as they can
- May feel nervous about travel or eating out, but do best to plan accordingly and adjust
- Self-esteem is not dependent on what they do or don’t eat
- Move their bodies in ways that feel good and energize them (not out of rigidity or militant beliefs they “should”)
- Instead of labeling foods as “good” or “bad,” views foods as “better for me foods,” and “don’t make me feel my best,” foods
While this list is generalized and broad, at best, I know of both because I’ve lived it.
MY STORY: FROM ORTHOREXIA TO GUT HEALING & THE IN-BETWEEN
Been there, got the t-shirt. On both sides.
As I initially began to recover from anorexia at age 17, I quickly found myself immersed in another type of eating disorder—orthorexia—in my pursuit of the “ideal body,” and being on the cover of a fitness magazine.
My diet was restricted to turkey patties, steamed vegetables, Crystal Light and protein shakes, and my schedule revolved around my three workouts every day.
Fast forward to my recovery, and my pursuit of my education in nutrition and functional medicine and as I began to learn more about the underlying health conditions I had struggled with for years (constipation, autoimmune disease, anxiety, hormone imbalances), my personal food philosophies began to shift.
“Food is medicine” became my mantra, and food began to take on a whole new meaning—a way to restore my body. Organ meats, cold-water fatty fish, nutrient-dense dark leafy greens, bone broth and grass-fed butter energized me! And I loved how actually nourishing my body with a variety of real foods and gut healing foods (fermented foods, etc.) made me feel!
While there was also brief lapse of time during my nutrition training that I ALSO fell back into my old orthorexia ways of fearing “unhealthy” or “bad” foods (i.e. I became a little too obsessed with gut healing, and hacking my diet with certain diet philosophies like GAPS and SCD), I “woke up” from this obsession quickly when I realized all the stress about food was actually making my own digestive issues worse (not better).
(Stress is the #1 driver of all disease and imbalance).
To say the least, I went from the dark side, to the light side, and have realized, it’s NOT bad to want to feel good or to take the best care of your body. Food intolerances, gut conditions, autoimmune conditions, skin breakouts, hormone imbalances, anxiety and beyond are real, (and your nutrition can be a game-changer for healing), but they do NOT have to dominate your own well-being inside and out.
GUT HEALING & HEALTHY EATING GONE OVERBOARD: ARFID
ARFID—Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder—is a common “phenomenon” many individuals experience on a gut healing or body healing diet.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of fearing what food will “do to you” when your diet becomes restrictive for health reasons.
Labels aside, ARFID or Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder is a silent “eating disorder,” many people are not talking about in the health, wellness or functional medicine community. Primarily because the main goal of treatment is to help you feel better physically.
However, in the case of ARFID, your diet becomes so restricted that you may experience many symptoms similar to orthorexia—particularly emotional angst about food, primarily because you “can’t” eat eating. The stress over food itself may even exacerbate or extend your healing process.
Common symptoms of ARFID include:
- You lack variety in your diet
- You fear how foods make you feel
- You wrap your identity in what you eat
- You know ALL the protocols in the book (GAPS, SCD, AIP, etc.)
- You’re HYPER AWARE of how food makes you feel
- You get sick when you eat out
- NOTHING seems to change how you feel
- You read EVERYTHING on Google about your condition
- You’ve tried countless protocols.
- You have low energy
- You rarely feel hunger/fullness cues
- You get easily weepy or have pent up emotions
- You try to “forget” you are sick but feel trapped
- You tend to be a perfectionist or Type-A personality
WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT: ARFID & ORTHOREXIA SUPPORT & HEALING OPTIONS
To date, there are not a ton of resources or support options for individuals in recovery from ARFID or Orthorexia—primarily because many clinicians steer clear from eating disorder support in general, as well as due to the HUGE emphasis on healthy and clean eating and dieting by and large.
As the diabetes and obesity epidemics only continue to escalate (currently 1 in 3 Americans), the emphasis from many professionals in healthcare focuses on “leading a healthier lifestyle” in general.
“What’s so bad about eating more greens, running
DECLARE FOOD FREEDOM
While formal treatment options may be far and few between, working with a skilled practitioner one-on-one in the areas of nutrition, mental and emotional health, and body healing can be “game changing” for your relationship with food.
Here are a handful of principles I teach my clients in my clinical practice to help them overcome their orthorexic tendencies and declare food freedom.
Have a “DTR” with Your Food
“DTR” stands for “determining the relationship.” In a romantic relationship, it’s the conversation you have with your significant other about your relationship status—are you all “on” or “off.” Together? Dating? Friends with benefits?
You need to do the same thing with your relationship with food. DTR is all about knowing your WHY—why you eat what you eat, as well as your what—what your beliefs or philosophy about food really is (and exploring where that came from in the first place).
For instance, one of my personal food philosophies for how I eat is based on the principles of an anti-inflammatory diet. WHY? Because I have an autoimmune disease, and autoimmune disease genetics, thus if and when I eat certain foods that are more inflammatory to my body, like nuts, grains and eggs, I not only feel awful physically (constipation, bloating, nauseas), but I also flare my conditions more (IBS/IBD and even skin breakouts). It’s not that I don’t like these foods, but my “why” behind eating less of them is based on how my body reacts and feels.
Another food philosophy of mine is to have NO food rules or food labels! This “why” stems back to the 15 years I spent entrenched in following every diet under the sun! And this “why” is what helps keep me sane from even dabbling in any mainstream hyped diet philosophy (be it Keto, Intermittent Fasting, Atkins or Vegan). I don’t label how I eat as anything more than “real food” and base what goes in my body on how my body feels, as well as mindfulness with needing a VARIETY of nutrient-dense foods.
In the reverse, a FORMER food philosophy of mine was ALL ABOUT labels, and rules, and calorie counting obsessions. At one time, my goal was less than 500 calories per day, and less than 0.5 grams of fat (how absurd, right?!). At the time though, I totally thought this was what I “should” do—my “why” was all about checking off boxes of food rules and my ultimate goal (weight loss).
What are some of your personal food philosophies you currently follow (and WHY do you believe or adhere to them)?
As If Mindset
Once you have an idea of your current relationship with food and your food philosophy, now you get to think about what kind of relationship you want with food!
Do you want to be controlled and dictated by what you can and can’t eat—such as worrying or feeling anxious about going out to eat with friends or traveling on vacation?
Or do you want to fuel your body to the best of your abilities with foods that make you feel BEST, but when and if you can’t do so, be able to adjust accordingly?
I call this the “as if” mindset. So as we think, therefore we become. Envision how healthy, thriving, truly healthy (inside and out) you approaches food in any and all situations:
- Dining out
- At the grocery store
- Packing your lunch
- Making dinner
Get a clear picture of what healthy, thriving you looks like, acts like, talks like, treats her body like, and then…act accordingly.
Make Your Own Rules
Rules were made to be broken, and when it comes to food rules, I encourage all my clients to make their own (new) recovered, healthy, thriving rules for vibrancy and freedom that buck the system or their former beliefs that were wrapped in fear, worry, angst, or overthinking food.
In turn, your new “rules” aren’t actually rules at all, but more like mantras—declarations for the healthy relationship you want with food and your body.
For instance, in my own recovery and continued healing journey with food, my rules or mantras became:
“Listen to your body.”
“Know your truth.” (i.e. what is disordered vs. healthy mindset me)
“Eat out of love, not fear.”
You get the picture. Erase the old rules from your brain.
What CAN you eat, versus what CAN’T you eat?
There are hundreds of foods in the world, and often times in the midst of gut healing or “clean eating” protocols, it can be EASY to get stuck on your “CAN’T” list or “I DON’T EAT ___” list.
Aim for the LEAST RESTRICTIVE approach as possible, and eat with an “abundance” mindset.
Vary it Up
Along with abundance, variety is the spice of life, and when we eat the same things day in and day out, not only do we deprive our bodies of essential nutrients, but we also dumb down our palate (i.e. “boring” foods).
Aim for 2-3 different colors at each meal to keep things fresh, and while you’re at it, simply try different herbs, seasonings and spices to enhance flavor, continually challenge and fire up your tastebuds, and boost nutrients too.
Check out this “rainbow” food chart (scroll to the bottom) by nutritionist Deanna Minich to see how different colors and variety enhances our bodies, beyond just giving us “antioxidants.”
Eat Out of Love, Not Fear
Simply put: How can you eat out of love for your body, then eating (or not eating) based on food fears?
Bonus: when we eat out of love (and have more peace with food), we actually can even enhance our digestion for the better (stress and cortisol inhibits optimal digestion).
THE BOTTOM LINE
Healthy eating or clean eating is NOT a bad thing. It all comes down to your mindset.

Gainesville Commercial Historic District
Located on the east side of Lake Sidney Lanier, Gainesville, Georgia is a small city that is known for its historic downtown commercial district. The area has become the center of economic activity in Hall County. This historic district includes commercial and residential properties and public landmarks. The district is surrounded by residential neighborhoods and non historic commercial development. The Gainesville Commercial Historic District is located at 118 Washington St NW, Gainesville, GA 30501. View us on Maps
The downtown commercial district in Gainesville is composed of attached and freestanding commercial properties. Commercial buildings were largely constructed of brick in the 19th century. Brick was used as a structural material and as decorative material. Common decorative elements included corbelled brickwork, decorative pilasters, cast iron columns, and wood entablatures.
The Gainesville Commercial Historic District represents the 19th and early 20th century commercial buildings of Gainesville, Georgia. The district includes the Gainesville Square, the central business district, and associated public landmarks. The district is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
Gainesville’s original town plan was laid out in the early 1820s. It features a gridiron pattern of streets with a central square. In 1888, the square was almost completely fronted with commercial structures. Its development continued into the 20th century as Gainesville developed as a regional trade center and became home to an increasing number of professionals. In addition, the railroads helped to expand the city’s economic base. In the early 20th century, the automobile became popular in Gainesville. There were several gas stations in the city and several new commercial establishments clustered around the central business district.
The first churches were constructed in Gainesville. These were built on land that was set aside for religious use. One church was located south of the square on Church Street. A Baptist congregation also built a church south of the square on Church Street. There were two in-town hotels located on the square’s southwest corner. A railroad depot was also built adjacent to the downtown. In 1883, the Gainesville, Jefferson & Southern Railroad opened its station on Maple Street, just south of the square. In 1915, the Georgia Railway and Power Company built a substation northwest of the Hosch Building. The district also includes the Federal Building-United States Courthouse, which was constructed in 1910. The courthouse was expanded in 1934.
The district also includes the Dixie Hunt Hotel, which was constructed in 1938. It was damaged in a tornado. The building is architecturally significant and was the first skyscraper built in Gainesville.
In addition to commercial buildings, the district includes government properties and residential neighborhoods. The district includes several historic and cultural resources, including archaeological sites, industrial buildings, and historic transportation routes. These historic and cultural resources contribute to the character of the community and provide the foundation for traditions. Learn more here
The district also includes the First United Methodist Church, which was built in 1914. It is an excellent example of Romanesque Revival style architecture. It also includes the Bank of Banks & Brother building, which was built in 1871. Today, the building is known as the Imperial Pharmacy.

Aircraft crashes in a fireball at Spanish air show
Madrid: A historic jet plane crashed into a hangar and exploded today in a fireball at an airshow southwest of the capital, severely injuring its pilot who later died in the hospital, officials said.
A spokesman for Spain`s defence ministry said the pilot, Ladislao Tejedor Romero, 35, an experienced jet pilot and assistant to Defence Minister Pedro Morenes, died of his injuries in the serious burns unit of Getafe hospital.
Some 3,000 people were at Cuatro Vientos airfield watching a showcase of aerial acrobatics and vintage aircraft when the plane, one of the first jet-propelled planes to be manufactured in Spain, crashed, sending a fireball and thick black smoke into the air.
The plane, a HA-200 Saeta, was a built in the 1950s as an advanced jet trainer by Hispano Aviacion, ministry spokesman Alfredo Florenza said. It was later given attack capability.
Florenza said the cause of the crash was not known. State broadcaster RTVE showed images of a large plume of smoke rising above hangars and interviewed witnesses who described the plane diving and crashing into buildings.
Spain`s airport authority AENA said no one else other than the pilot was injured. Europa Press news agency, however, reported quoting emergency services that two people, a rescue worker suffering from burns and a 57-year-old man suffering from an anxiety attack, believed to be the pilot`s father, were transferred to hospital. A third rescue worker suffering from smoke inhalation received first aid at the scene, the agency said.
