I read your column and thought I would share my experience of using the drug Fosamax (for osteoporosis). I had a tooth out at the dentist, who took one look at my mouth and promptly asked me if I was on Fosamax, which I was. She said it was a mess, and recommended I go off it immediately. I was told it should have been stopped six weeks prior to the extraction, but that is not possible in emergencies. My doctor ultimately took me off Fosamax, first for six weeks, and then permanently. I am supposed to have bone density tests regularly, but it is too expensive. I would be interested in your comments.
A.S. Rotorua (edited)
Osteoporosis affects a large number of New Zealand seniors: half of all women and one-third of all men over 60 will suffer an osteoporotic fracture. One-third of those who fracture a hip will die within one year.
Bisphosphonates such as Fosamax work by making bone harder. Not necessarily healthier, just harder. The result is half as many hip fractures in the first three years for patients on Fosamax, with the benefit waning beyond that time frame. About 100 people would need to take Fosamax for three years to prevent one hip fracture. Not a stunning success, but better than any other class of medications.
However, this medicine does bring with it a very low risk of causing fractures ( about one in a thousand users) and periodontal (gum) disease.
So what else works to prevent osteoporosis? Weight training.
Weight training at high intensity and low repetitions forces the bones to lay down more calcium in a healthy way. Not many elderly women lift weights at 70 per cent of their maximum, but they should. Beyond stronger bones, weight lifting reduces the rates of falls in the elderly as well.
What else works? Vitamin D supplementation significantly improves bone density in about 3 per cent of users, but calcium supplements don't.
In fact, studies are showing taking calcium supplements increases the risk of heart attacks, kidney stones and may even increase the risk of fractures.

Zutty Singleton in The Bronx - the 1920's
We got to New York on Friday and by Sunday we'd lined up a job for that afternoon. Duke Ellington was playing the Audubon Theatre in the Bronx, but he couldn't make the first show… So our band played it. The pit band looked pretty surprised when the curtain went up and there we were on stage. But then Louis [Armstrong] played the "St. Louis Blues" and I saw something I'll never forget as long as I live. When he finished, even the band in the pit stood up and applauded for him. It was a wonderful, wonderful reception.

A Step-by-Step Guide For Holiday Hosts
For many, planning the Thanksgiving menu usually involves a healthy dose of family tradition, a long checklist, multiple trips to the grocery store and farmers market in search of the ‘perfect’ turkey and ingredients for must-have side dishes, and for dessert, pumpkin and pecan pies with mounds of whipped cream. We may plan every last detail of the meal – often many days in advance – but give little thought or time to the table where family and friends will gather to enjoy our carefully orchestrated feast.
Do you wish – just once – that your holiday dining table looked like the ones you see in magazines? Well, I’m here to help! I’ve deconstructed a gorgeous Thanksgiving table setting I created in our 1890’s Colorado cabin and divided it into four easy steps any host can follow.
Any room can be welcoming and beautiful. Our cabin presented a completely blank slate – unadorned, rustic log walls, a plywood floor painted a neutral tone with a band of dark green near the edges, and a brushed metal chandelier with no electrical power currently available. But, the room is cozy, the substantial wood table and chairs beg to be surrounded by family and friends, and the casual bookcase along the back wall provides added interest. With the help of decorative accessories I’ve had for years, casual ironstone dinnerware in seasonal colors, and luscious, but inexpensive fabrics and linens, I transformed this very rustic setting into a beautiful dining room to celebrate Thanksgiving. So, let’s do the same with your table!
Start With The Centerpiece
When I complete a table setting with a simple floral centerpiece, the flower arrangement is the last item I place on the table, but when I create a lush table setting featuring a variety of textures, levels and accessories, I’ve found it’s much easier to start with the centerpiece. That way, I can build layer upon layer in the center of the table without worrying about knocking over glassware or dropping bits and pieces of decorative material onto the place settings, particularly when working with natural items or those that shed glitter. The centerpiece pictured here begins with three squares of dark brown felt to protect the wood and anchor the decorative materials so they don’t slide on the table. Two 9-foot silk leaf garlands rest on top of the felt, providing a foundation and color scheme for everything that follows.
Add Decorative Layers
Once the autumn garlands are in place, add depth, color, and texture by incorporating pumpkins of various sizes, fruit, pinecones, additional leaves, large pillar candles in tall glass hurricanes, and seasonal placemats. Tiny pumpkins, readily found in supermarkets, rest on small glass coasters to prevent damage to the table’s wood surface.
Mix and Match Dinnerware
Tablescapes that most often elicit an appreciative gasp of surprise rarely feature matched china and crystal. Instead, blend dinner and glassware based on complementary colors, patterns, themes, shapes, sizes, and seasonality. For this Thanksgiving table, copper-colored chargers provide a rich background for heavy, rustic yellow ironstone dinner plates, paired with white porcelain soup bowls featuring a brown floral border and turkey pattern in the center. The copper chargers complement the placemats’ copper and yellow twist border and reflect the centerpiece’s coppery leaves. Ironstone plates ensure the table isn’t too formal or fussy, and the turkey bowls leave no mistake it’s Thanksgiving. Leaf-patterned napkins, secured with bronzy, metal oakleaf napkin rings, and heavy cut-crystal water glasses paired with delicate etched wine glasses edged in gold, add finishing touches to delight the eye.
Extend The Theme Throughout The Room
A buffet, china cabinet, or bookcase provide exciting opportunities to extend the decorative theme beyond the dining table, so take advantage of these surfaces if you have them. In the cabin, the large, square mirror above the glass buffet reflects light from the tall candlesticks – an important asset when there’s no electrical power! Several garlands of silk leaves are layered across the back edge of the buffet next to the wall, setting the stage for a luxurious sense of bounty. A wooden tray echoes the rustic cabin theme and provides an attractive gathering spot for turkey, pumpkin, and spicy candle decorative accents. Dessert plates with a woodsy theme await decadent slices of pumpkin pie, pumpkin swirl cheesecake, and pecan pie – the perfect ending to a memorable Thanksgiving celebration in the cabin.

Over 140 varieties of chrysanthemum have gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. Chrysanthemums are perennial plants. A perennial plant or simply perennial is a plant that lives for more than two years. Yellow or white chrysanthemum flowers of the species C. morifolium are boiled to make a sweet drink in some parts of Asia.

Poland’s fascinating location on worlds maps is often discussed in the context of past centuries. It’s central location in Europe was one of the reasons for many political disagreements, but it also allowed for numerous and rich cultural exchanges. The meetings of East and West has many dimentions and, in this context, Poland lies in the center, linking various cultures and religions and
serving as carrier of diverse cultural and social trends. Traveling to the XVII century we can observe amazing process in which Poland played important role of the fighter, being one of the military super powers, but also role of important cultural partner for the countries from North, South, East and West.
The XVII century for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth it was the time of the military and political importance in Europe. Time of many battles and wars against empires like Sweden and Turkey, but also against Russia and Zaporozhian Cossacks.
Open to the West, Polish literatury and musical culture drew on the discoveries and ideas emanating from Venice, Padua, and other important centres in Italy. Sweden during the “Age of Greatness” (1648-1721) by communication with Poland and other countries in northern Europe was growing and flourishing culturaly.
On the other hand Polish political environment during the seventeenth century places it against the Ottoman Empire’s Islamic culture. Fascinated by the influence of the totally different Oriental world, Poland engaged in a cultural exchange with the Seraglio – the Topkapi Palace and residence of the Ottoman Slutans – with the colorful figure of Wojciech Bobowski – his Turkish name: Alī Ufqī : Horizon (1610 – 1675) who was a musician, a composer, a painter, and as a multilingual interpreter who made a brilliant career in diplomacy of the Sublime Porta. Born in Poland in 1610 he was captured by Tartars and sold as a slave to the seraglio in Istanbul, where he spent next 20 years and where his incomparable skills could shine: he played instruments and as the first he wrote down turkish music (with european notes). His psalms written in a european, but very simple (Calvinist) manner, sung in Turkish language and probably in Turkish way, possibly with an accompaniament of instruments from the seraglio… This was a real meeting point and melting pot of west-east tradition.
Traveling to the Nordic countries we can find Adners and Gustav von Düben who belongs to one of the most important musical families in XVII century Sweden. Gustav was born and died in Stockholm. He was the son of the German-born Andreas Düben, who had been organist at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, and son of the composer and court kapellmeister Anders Düben (the Younger). In 1663, he succeeded his father as both hovkapellmästare, director of the Royal Swedish Court Orchestra, and organist of the German St Gertrud Church in Stockholm.
Polish music of 17th century is expressed in the genious composers of Mikołaj Zieleński, Marcin Mielczewski, and Bartłomiej Pękiel, mostly in Venetian style. The casp of the 16th and 17th centuries in Italy marks the development of the opera on the one hand, and the blossoming of the church music on the other. The need for contrasts, the introduction of instruments to lithurgical music, polychoral music, and the concertizing style – all part of the Venetian School – were taken up and developed further on polish soil by various local composers who studied this style abroad. Mikołaj Zieleński’s ( c.1500 – c. 1616 ) Offertoria et Communiones were published in Venice in 1611. His style was highly regarded in the city on water. Zieleński’s younger compatriot, Marcin Mielczewski ( c.1600 – c.1651 ) used Renaissance techniques for liturgical forms and applied canti firmi of Gregorian origin into his compositions but, as a master of counterpoint, he also gave them a modern and powerful sound in terms of tonality and instrumentation. The youngest Bartłomiej Pękiel ( ? – c.1670 ) served the court in Warsaw from at least 1633. He was the assistant to Marco Scacchi when the latter was head of the Royal Chapel there, and later was Kapellmeister himself from 1649 to 1655. His music stile and expression is real treasure needed to be rediscovered.
Originality of the project lies in this juxtaposition of three worlds – Nordic, East and West – and in a showing a way necessary to achieve their synthesis in language, religion, and culture – a way originated in the works and lifes of 17th-century musicians from so many different and far backgrounds.

MOSINEE, Wis. (WSAU) - If you fly often, you probably know that work is progressing on the Central Wisconsin Airport terminal improvements. If you’re an occasional flyer, there are things you need to know.
Administrator Tony Yaron says all services are operational, but there will be areas within the terminal that are inaccessible due to construction. He says airport visitors will notice the new western portion of the building is now open and nearly complete. “We’ve got a few little minor things that we’ve got to knock off the punch list, and put a shine on everything, and that section is completed, and we’ll be ready to close that project out.”
Yaron advises occasional flyers to check online with their airlines and with TSA.gov. He says if you know what is and is not allowed before you arrive at the airport, things will go much smoother. Yaron says that is important, because the airline computers lockout attempted check-ins that are within thirty minutes of departure and you will not get on the plane.
With the new west part of the terminal open, construction workers have moved to the other end. “We began demolition of our east terminal addition. (We’re) doing the demo on that and getting ready for a ten-month project there. Of course, we’ll be building through winter again, and we hope to have that done sometime in August of 2014.”
Yaron says the airport terminal project is often a shell game, moving airline staff, rental car agents, and others around so the construction can continue. He says moving people and furniture is the easy part and it’s the technology tools that are harder to move. “Moving computers and telephone systems, and those sorts of support systems often times requires quite a lead time.”
The Administrator says one of the big improvements was relocating the car rental agents to their own building across the drop-off lane from the terminal, because that has opened up the middle of the terminal for a future second baggage claim area. Yaron says that second baggage claim will eventually help when multiple planes arrive within minutes of each other. “The old area was awfully cramped, and if we get several flights in at once and throw a charter with 150 people on top of it, it almost became a safety issue it was so crowded.” The airport improvements began a couple of years ago. Yaron says there are still two major phases of the project to go. That’s the east addition work now underway and center of the terminal where construction starts about a year from now. “I think you’re going to see some amenities finally wrapped up by the time everything’s done, and we would ask everybody who flies here to be patient and don’t mind our dust, because it’s going to be messy for another couple of years yet.”
The Central Wisconsin Airport improvements should be completed in late 2015.

Have you ever wondered why, despite cats being obligate carnivores, they would happily dive into dried and pellet form of cat foods at any given time? This is because the processed cat foods that you can get in the market are still made of meat.
While cats seem to love cooked and processed food, it’s actually something that could be considered as unnatural.
Advocates of raw food diet believe that what’s natural for cats is to munch on raw food like meat and bones. They find this healthier for their cats and not cooking the meat will mean that there’s less chance of losing the enzymes and nutrients that could be very beneficial to felines overall.
Cats as Obligate Carnivores
As obligate carnivores, cats will need meat in their diet for their nutritional needs. They can still eat other food like vegetables, but these won’t really have any nutritional value for them.
Naturally, cats hunt for their food. This means that if they are in the wild, they would hunt for food and usually, they go for mice, insects, birds, fish, rabbits, and sometimes even reptiles.
Cats are real predators and they mean serious business when they need to hunt for food and look for preys. They’d go as far as not eating at all just for a kill.
If you can’t imagine your precious kitty going for a kill or you’re just really finding it hard to believe, you need to remember that they are still related to lions and tigers.
Raw Foods for Cats
With the information that cats naturally eat their food raw, you are probably now wondering if you could already start the raw cat food diet. Questions like what you should really feed your cat when you choose to let it live as if it is in the wild may arise and that’s fine.
Getting your cat into raw foods is not really simple without the appropriate knowledge. You’ll need to make sure that it still gets well-balanced meals so that it remains healthy.
Letting your cat have the raw diet will basically make it feel and live the experience of how wild cats get their nutrition. Since the idea of giving your cats raw food will mimic how wild cats feed themselves, you’ll also need to introduce other types of meat to your cat if it is only used to eating fish or chicken.
All raw diet supporters believe that if you cook or process the meat that you’ll feed your cat, the vital nutrients that it would be getting from its food won’t be as much as when it’s raw.
Now, even if this diet mimics how wild cats get their food, it doesn’t really mean that you need to give your cat newly-killed animals. Wild cats do eat their newly-killed prey, but they still save some of those for later so they don’t really need fresh meat all the time
What is the Composition of Raw Food Diet?
An easy answer would be anything raw that’s ideal for carnivores. There’s really more than just raw meat that’s included in a raw food diet for your furball.
Here is a list of the different meats and ingredients that can be used in a raw food diet.
- Meats (Chicken, Rabbit, Salmon, Tuna, Beef, Pork, and Shrimp)
- Raw Egg
Now, carbs aren’t necessary, but some raw diet enthusiasts would still add a bit of carbs in the mix in the form of rice, peas or oatmeal. However, to really keep your cat’s digestion smooth, just make sure that you only add a small amount of food rich in carbohydrates.
Is Feeding Cats Raw Meat Safe?
The safety of feeding cats raw meat is still quite a debate and not really all veterinarian would recommend this. If you really want this diet for your cat, you’ll have to look for vets who are not against this or who can discuss with you the risks of doing so.
The reason why there are risks when it comes to choosing this diet is the pathogens in raw food. Cats have an acidic and short digestive tract.
For humans, it could take 35-55 hours to fully digest what we eat, while cats only need about 12-16 hours. This means that most of them won’t have any issues when it comes to their encounter with pathogens like worms, viruses, and bacteria since the food they eat won’t really have much chance to multiply and make their stomachs upset.
We say only most of the cats won’t be affected by these pathogens because there are still cats that are sensitive when it comes to these things and are susceptible to getting food poisoned.
Knowing that there are risks when it comes to getting your cat into this diet, proper preparation of the raw meals you’ll serve is necessary to avoid cross-contamination. Dealing with raw meat that may have harmful pathogens can also mean a risk to expose yourself from pathogens like E. Coli and Salmonella.
Aside from the meat itself, if your cat has eaten anything with these pathogens, the bacteria can be passed on through its waste and so it could easily be spread in your home and can pose as a danger for you and the people you live with.
Remember that even worms can be transmitted from your pet to humans.
Is it Worth Taking the Risk?
Even if there are risks involved in serving your cat raw food, there are still a lot of cat parents out there that prefer this diet because of its many benefits. Here are some of them:
- Better Digestion – Cats actually do not need carbohydrates in their diet. In fact, cats only have a limited ability when it comes to digesting carbs. Giving your cat raw meat diet would mean that it won’t have any carb intake, so digestion would be easier for them.
- Better Dental Health – It is noticeable that wild cats seem to have better dental health than house cats. This is mainly because of how wild cats chew on raw meat, fur, skin, and bones. Also, since the raw diet won’t have much carbohydrates, dental issues like caries can be avoided.
- Help Avoid Nutrient Deficiencies – If you prepare a good mix of raw meat and other raw food in your cat’s diet, you’ll be assured that your cat won’t suffer from any nutrient deficiencies like lack of Taurine, Calcium, and Thiamine. However, this is only achievable with the right choice of ingredients when it comes to preparing your cat’s food.
- Better Bowel Movement – Another benefit of giving your cats fewer carbs would be lessened volume of cat poop. Cats can easily digest meat and bones, which means that most of these will be completely absorbed by their bodies. In fact, when your cats eat raw, their stools would also be a bit crumbly and almost have no smell.
- Increase in Energy – If you feed cats more meat, they’ll be able to convert more energy as protein is its main source.
- Healthy and Shiny Coat – The fatty acids found in your cat’s raw diet can help its fur look healthier, thicker, and shinier. This means you’ll see less shedding and furballs.
- For Overweight Cats, it could help with weight loss – Cats have the tendency to overeat if they don’t get enough nutrients. If they are fed with mostly carbs, they will just feel hungry even if they’re not. Giving your cats raw diet with balanced nutrients will help them lose weight as they will only feel satisfied with what they eat. The benefit of getting increased energy will also help with losing some weight.
Kinds of Raw Food Diet for Your Cat
There are two main ways that you can serve raw food diet to your cat. You can either prepare your cat’s meals yourself or buy commercially available raw food products made specifically for cats.
If you’re aiming to just get commercially available products, here are the options you have:
- Frozen Raw Food – This is usually frozen while it’s fresh and will only lose few nutrients once it’s thawed. If you’ll buy this, you can simply put it in the freezer and thaw portions that your cat can completely consume. Frozen raw food usually comes in the form of rolls, patties, and ground meat.
- Freeze-Dried Raw Cat Food – It may sound like it shouldn’t really pass as something to add in a raw food diet as drying the meat means it’s already processed. But this type of raw food is just minimally processed and then frozen. It may also lose a few nutrients but this can still be easily rehydrated.
- Organic Raw Cat Food – This is a quality raw food product you can give your cat as manufacturers who sell these ensure that the meat that they sell is organically grown. This means that they used no chemicals or they used no modified organisms and radiation to treat the meat they use. This kind of raw food has no preservatives and is antibiotic-free.
Precautions When Preparing Homemade Raw Cat Meals
While it’s actually ideal to just create the raw food your cat will eat yourself to make sure that you know everything that goes into your cat’s stomach, do keep in mind that vets who are fine with a raw diet will probably not suggest this. It’s mainly because of risks we mentioned earlier.
But if you assure your vet that you’ll take all the necessary precautions, then you can and should get all their advice regarding this matter.
To make sure that cross-contamination won’t happen and that your cat will get the balanced nutrients from the raw food you’ll serve, here are a few precautions when preparing the food yourself:
- Basic hygiene – Clean hands and clean prep area is a must. If you could, you can use gloves while mixing different types of raw meat. While ensuring everything is clean before and during food preparation, it’s also important that you thoroughly clean your hands and prep area once you’re done.
- Know the source of the meat – Yes, you can easily get meat from the supermarket or the meat shop, but it’s always better to ask the butcher about the supplier or do your own research to make sure that there’s nothing harmful in the meat that your cat will eat.
- Go for whole meat – It does seem easier to just get ground meat from the shop and mix them yourself. But ground meat is more prone to bacteria, unlike whole meat. Whole meats only have the tendency to have bacteria on the outer layer. So if you don’t trust the shop just yet, you can just get rid of it and take the inner part and grind it yourself.
- Do not forget about calcium – Now, even if we’re mostly talking about raw meat, the raw diet should include bones of animals too like rabbits or chickens. These bones may only be the source of your cat’s calcium needs.
- Bone size – be mindful of the bones that you’ll include in your cat’s food. If you have a grinder, then you can just have the bones go through it but make sure the size is something that your cat is comfortable eating.
- Collect recipes and guides – This is important if you’re just starting to make raw homemade food for your cat. Again, you have to look for a vet who’d allow this diet and ask them for recipes and what supplements you can include in the food that you’ll make.
Lack of nutrients will definitely lead to nothing good for your feline friend.
When preparing this yourself, you can do it in big batches so that you only have to do this at least once a month. You can always just freeze your cat’s food and then thaw it out whenever you need to give it to your cat.
Cats would usually prefer their meals a bit warm so you can also have them heated a bit. Think of how wild cats eat their newly killed prey – the meat is most likely a bit warm.
To sum things up, giving your cat a raw diet can be very beneficial. However, this also includes risks. Always make sure that you follow the precautions we’ve shared and to consult your vet before even starting.
It’s important that you know if your cat can handle this diet after being domesticated for so long. A lot of raw diet supporters can attest to the raw diet’s benefits, but if you choose to transition to this, allow some time for your cat to get accustomed and to reap the benefits you want them to.
It’s always best that you know how much you should be feeding your cat and that it gets a well-balanced and nutritious diet. As they always say, keep everything in moderation.

Parents will often go to all ends for their children, and when it comes to finding discount car insurance for young drivers, this is no exception; as many as one out of four parents either considered illegally listing themselves as the primary driver on their child’s insurance policy – or have already done so.
Listing an older driver that’s less expensive to cover on a motor car insurance policy, and then listing a teenage child as a secondary driver on the same policy, is referred to as ‘fronting’ within the insurance industry, and is considered fraud. The practice is illegal, and if caught, it could lead to the invalidation of the insurance cover – but many parents may be unaware that they’re breaking the law in order to protect their children from eye watering car insurance rates, as one out of three didn’t know if it was legal or not and one out of four thought there was nothing illegal about the practice.
One insurance expert spoke out in comment on the research that discovered the fronting figures, remarking that while the old adage of ‘ignorance is bliss’ may be true in some cases, not knowing that fronting is illegal could lead to serious consequences if caught. If you’re considering the practice as a way to save on insurance costs, you should think again, the expert added, stating that a parent may seek to save their child some money only to see them dragged into court facing charges of driving while uninsured, and it could even result in insurers refusing to provide cover to the young driver in the future if they have a record for fraud.

MUMBAI: Months of tough negotiations between prospective buyers and the owner of the 17-acre Mumbai Textile Mill property at Lower Parel has made little headway so far.
But despite the slowdown in the property market, builders find the DLF-owned property irresistible, and in the past few weeks, the race has heated up with several big names in the construction industry throwing their hats in the ring.
The latest entrants are the Wadhwa Group and Punebased builder Avinash Bhosale. Industrialist Ajay Piramal's Piramal Realty, Runwal Group and Oberoi Realty are also believed to be some of the contenders along with two foreign funds. (Oberoi, however, claimed it is no longer negotiating for the plot).
The Vijay Wadhwa-led Wadhwa Group, which has a large presence in the commercial business district of Bandra-Kurla Complex, entered the fray recently. It is believed to have put in a joint bid with Sheth Developers.
Avinash Bhosale, who has built a real estate, hospitality and infrastructure empire, is believed to have tied up with developer Vallabh Sheth to bid for the Parel land. Piramal Realty, which has been aggressively picking up prime properties lately, has also offered a substantial amount, it is learnt.
But despite being on the block since last year, the transaction is still far from being complete. Market sources said the price is still a contentious issue between DLF and the prospective buyers. One contender told TOI that DLF was expecting Rs 3,000 crore plus. But clients are not offering more than Rs 2,000 crore.
"The land can fetch a much higher price if DLF agrees to deferred payment spread over three to four years. However, it wants the money upfront since it has a huge debt of over Rs 20,000 crore," said a developer, who is in the fray.
DLF initially expected its property to fetch over Rs 4,000 crore, but found few takers. Property market sources said the sale has been delayed after two policies were amended by civic chief Subodh Kumar and approved by the state government in the past few months.
The new development control rules and the amended public parking policy have affected DLF's land valuation because the humungous construction benefits it had derived no longer exist.
DLF's high valuation earlier was mainly because the state government had earlier cleared its proposal under the public parking policy. The developer was to receive additional FSI for building a multi-storeyed public car park and hand it over to the civic administration free of cost. But after the BMC reviewed the policy, the FSI benefit was severely restricted.
DLF, the country's largest real estate company, paid Rs 702 crore for the defunct mill in 2005. It was then touted as the country's largest property transaction. The land, which is just five acres smaller than Oval Maidan, is located along the Tulsi Pipe Road near Phoenix Mills.

Godalming Band is part of a national initiative launched by Brass Bands England to save the many UK brass bands who are struggling to survive through the COVID-19 pandemic. Brass bands are a core of their local community, and many risk disappearing altogether without your help.
Godalming Band is asking for donations to help ensure the future of Godalming Band and Godalming Youth Band at this challenging time.
Godalming Band has been in existence in its current form since 1937 and consists both an active Senior and Youth Band. The membership is a cross section of people, of all ages living in the local community. Our Youth Band plays a very important role within the band as we provide opportunities for children to learn and develop as brass musicians.
Why are we crowdfunding?
Unfortunately due to the pandemic there have been no concerts or other performances this year and therefore no income to cover the necessary running costs of insuring and maintaining our band room, instruments and music library.
Adding just one new piece of music to our repertoire can easily cost as much as £50. The smallest instruments in the band cost over £1000 for a good quality replacement, and the larger instruments cost many thousands of pounds. We are fortunate to have our own dedicated band room for rehearsals and teaching but the running costs are several hundred pounds per year.
Your donation will be used to help secure the financial future of the Godalming Band organisation until such time as we are able to return to performing and becoming self reliant once again.
About Godalming Band
Thanks to the generosity of the people in and around Godalming, the band has managed to retain its self-supporting status, raising funds locally for instruments, uniforms and music.
Godalming Band love to entertain our local community and each year we have a busy summer schedule playing at fetes, carnivals, bandstands and parks of local towns. It is a great honour each year to take part in Godalming's Remembrance Day Parade and Service and we were saddened that it was not possible this year.
Christmas is also a busy time of year for the band with our annual Christmas Concert, entertaining the crowds at the turning on of the town Christmas lights, along with a variety of other carolling engagements around Godalming. We have also, for many years, participated in the brass band competitions organised by the Southern Counties Amateur Bands Association, as well as national contests.
Godalming Youth Band is the lifeblood of our organisation, helping to tutor and encourage the next generation of musicians through lessons and playing together in a fun and educational group environment. The group includes children from around age 7 to 17 at a wide variety of abilities.
We feel that music-making through groups is of great educational value and individual development, so we welcome children who have never picked up an instrument before through to more experienced players.
Your donations will help to sustain Godalming Band during these unprecedented times and enable us to be a part of the life the town and community for many years to come.
Thank you for your support.
About Save Our Brass Bands
Brass bands exist in every corner of the UK, with over 30,000 people of all ages and standards taking part in weekly activity – rehearsing, performing and providing entertainment for their local community.
But we risk losing this forever.
Brass Bands saw their main source of income disappear in an instant when they ceased being able to perform in March in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Months later, we still don’t know when normal performances will be able to take place. A significant loss in income over the Summer months, paired with necessary expenditure needed to make rehearsal spaces Covid compliant means that many Brass Bands are in a perilous financial situation.
Without urgent support, we could lose our nation’s amazing Brass Bands. Please help us to make sure they survive this crisis and will be there to be enjoyed by future generations.
Please donate, share this page widely and do what you can to help us to make sure our Brass Bands survive this crisis.

The WRAP W7500 printer creates solid plastic stock for a wide variety of uses, including low-cost media for prototype machining, raw material to produce colorful products, or unique organic shapes to create artwork projects. Leveraging the patent-pending WRAP™ (Waste Resin Axial Printing) technology, which prints with previously used or expired UV resin, the W7500 operates at virtually zero cost. Once your waste resin is printed, it can also be disposed of as standard household waste.
UV resins are typically delivered in a liquid format. Standard disposal of the waste resin generated in the 3D printed process and expired resin is considered hazardous waste and will incur different costs in different municipalities. The WRAP W7500 can eliminate these additional costs. Once the material is printed on the tube, you can safely dispose of it in your standard waste.
First, resin is separated into droplets via the gravity comb. This technique eliminates the need for pumps, tubes, and orifices, which can clog and fail.
The droplets freefall through a light corridor, which initiates the state change from liquid to solid.

All resin-based 3D printing technologies produce waste resin. In its liquid form, resin is classified as a hazardous material. However, during the 3D printing process, resins are transformed from a liquid to a solid by being exposed to UV light.
Here is an overview of how waste resin is produced in the three most prolific resin 3D printing technologies:
PolyJet 3D printers work by inkjet printing tiny droplets of resin one layer at a time on a build platform. The UV lights attached to the print head simultaneously cure the resin, forming a single, fully cured cross-section of the parts on the build platform. Once a cross-section is completed the build platform is lowered in the Z-direction, and the process is repeated for the next layer until the part is completed.
PolyJet waste resin is generated in the following three ways:
SL 3D printers work by beaming a UV laser onto a vat filled with UV light-sensitive resin. When the laser hits the resin, it cures it from liquid to solid. After parts are printed and removed from the vat, the user must pour the additional resin into the vat to “top-it-off.” Typical vat volumes are anywhere from .2 Liters (Formlabs Form 2) to 400+ Liters (3D Systems ProX 800 and Stratasys Neo 800).
SL waste resin is generated in the following ways:
DLP 3D printers work by using a UV light projector and flashing an image onto a vat (build tray) filled with resin. When the UV light image is projected onto the resin, the resin is partially cured from a liquid to a solid. After parts are printed and removed from the vat, the user must pour the additional resin into the vat to “top-it-off.” Typical vat volumes are small which enables the user
to easily change build trays.
DLP resin is generated in the following ways:
All resin-based 3D printing technologies produce waste resin. Although waste resin is considered hazardous in its liquid form, there are several options available to deal with waste resin. This paper touches on most of the issues related to this subject and points out that users may be subject to a combination of federal, state, and local regulations.
The first option is to hire a Hazardous Waste Disposal Service (HWDS) to pick up your waste resin. Many different companies offer this service. Please note, providers in your area may or may not process waste locally.
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Registration
HWDS companies require your registration with the EPA, which requires a one-page application and a $40 fee. This will classify your company as a generator of hazardous waste, and you will be required to file a biannual report and renew your registration annually.
Depending on how much waste resin is generated, users will be assigned a classification, such as Small Quantity Generator (SQG) >2,200 lbs. per year or Large Quantity Generator (LQG) <2,200 lbs. per year. Among other regulations, classification determines the length of time a waste generator is allowed to store hazardous waste onsite; an SQG has up to 180 days and an LQG has up to 90 days.
To manage and ship hazardous waste, most HWDS companies require customers to complete Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) training. As the waste generator, the user maintains all liability for the storage drum and is required to complete a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest Form prior to sealing, labeling, and shipment. Additional documentation may be required based on a user’s location.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
You will be asked to provide the MSDS of your resin to the HWDS. Their staff will review the MSDS and upon receipt of the waste resin, they will perform lab testing prior to disposal.
Type of Disposal
HWDS companies offer two types of waste resin disposal 1) Landfill and 2) Waste to Energy Incineration. The latter being the more expensive option. Depending on your area and HWDS, typical costs for disposal of a 55 gallon drum of waste resin could be $125 to $175 for landfill and $200 to $300 for incineration.
Subject to location, HWDS companies are, by law, limited to storing hazardous waste at holding sites for a maximum of 10 days. In the current environment, many HWDS companies are backed up due to the overproduction of hand sanitizers, which, due to
high alcohol content and flammability, must be sent off to incinerators. For example, users located in California should consider how the timing of disposal may be impacted by the additional regulations for storage and shipment placed on HWDS companies, which must dispose of hazardous waste at sites located out of state. Also, storing location, floor space and general liability of hazardous waste storage should be considered.
Amount of Waste Resin
The amount of waste resin produced will determine the cost of your service. Typically, waste resin is stored in a 55 gallon drum ($75 to $300). Drums and storage containers can either be sourced through the HWDS or from an industrial equipment supplier, such as Grainger.
With each pickup, or “Milk Run,” there are several fees to be aware of, including: driver fees ($85 to $100 per hour, typically 2 hour minimum), manifest fees ($25 to $50), and environmental services charges (typically 15% surcharge).
The second option is a DYI process, in which users pour waste resin onto a lunch tray or metal baking pan and let it cure outside under sunlight. The UV light from the sun will slowly cure the resin. The resin must be poured periodically in thin layers to maximize the surface area of sun exposure. The user must periodically stir the waste resin to ensure that underlayers of uncured resin are exposed to UV light.
Face masks and gloves are required for protection from the caustic process. Processing times can vary, depending on temperature and weather. When cured, the solid resin can be disposed of as common household waste.
A third option is to use Waste Resin Axial 3D Printing (WRAP) Technology to cure waste resin. WRAP technology enables safe curing through a patented process in which a user pours the resin into the system’s vat. The resin is slowly dispensed in drips onto a disposable paper-based cylinder located in a chamber with high-powered UV lights. As the resin drips and the cylinder rotates, the resin is instantly cured. The process continues until the full volume of waste resin in the vat is exhausted, leaving a cylinder of cardboard and solid cured plastic stock. When cured, the solid resin can be disposed of as common household waste or repurposed for various applications, including low-cost media for CNC machining.
