About the Film "What's on Your Plate?"
In “What’s on Your Plate,” Sadie and Safiyah, who are two eleven-year-old, African-American city kids, go on this journey to understand their place in the food chain. The film is inspired by them looking at food and going around to stores and seeing, “Where does this food come from?” Like, “Why are we getting potatoes from Canada, when there are potatoes grown 100 miles away?” And along the way they talk to farmers and food activists and policy makers an

Wendell Berry is the author of more than fifty books of poetry, fiction, and essays. He was recently awarded the National Humanities Medal, the Cleanth Brooks Medal for Lifetime Achievement by the Fellowship of Southern Writers, and the Louis Bromfield Society Award. For more than forty years he has lived and farmed with his wife, Tanya, in Kentucky.
The Country of Marriageby Wendell Berry
Each of the thirty-five poems in this collection is concerned with our relationship to nature, to all of humanity, and, ultimately, to God and the powers of creation. The farmer and his land, marriage and the family, form the central images. The long title poem, perhaps the finest single work in the book, is a grave, moving, and beauti- fully wrought love poem. The shorter lyrics have an equal beauty and perfection of phrase. And there is humor, too, notably in several new poems about 'Mad Farmer, ' who first made his appearance in Farming: A Hand Book, and who advises us here to 'every day do something that won't compute.'

The CONCERTO collaboration invites applications for a post-doctoral position at the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille. The applicants will join the GECO group containing ~40 faculty members, working on thematic ranging from stars to cosmology. The position is firmly funded for a duration of 2 years. The starting date is around October, 2018.
CONCERTO is a new spectrometer, based on the state-of-the-art development of new arrays in the millimeter using Kinetic Inductance Detectors. Spectra are obtained by a fast Martin-Puplett interferometer operating in the frequency domain 200-360 GHz. Main goal of CONCERTO is intensity mapping of the [CII] emission line at high redshift (4.5<z<8.5). Additional scientific goals ranges from the ISM of our Galaxy to the hot gas and velocity flows in galaxy clusters.
We seek a post-doc (a software engineer is also welcome) to produce detailed simulations of CONCERTO observations using a physical parametric model of the entire instrument. Such simulations have two cornerstones, the instrument model itself and the description of all the possible sources of noise in the observations. Aided by these simulations, the applicants will also build a classical data reduction pipeline. This work will benefit from the unique experience gained by our team of observing with the NIKA2 KIDs camera.
The successful application will have an experience in either the development of data reduction pipeline (preferentially in the IR, far-IR and (sub-)millimeter wavelengths) or in developing a physical parametric model of an entire instrument.
To apply, send a cover letter, description of experience, and CV as a single PDF document to Professor G. Lagache at firstname.lastname@example.org, and arrange for two letters of reference sent to the same email address. The application deadline is June 1rst, 2018; review will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

I promised myself I'd write 2-3 posts a week and now I see it's been about ten days since I've been on here. I disappointed at not exercising more discipline but I've been busy writing a novella to submit to an anthology. It's a m/m romance but it's also paranormal, a new genre for me, so it's taken me a little longer to write than I thought it would. The anthology deadline is September 1 and I'm still not done, but I'm doing my best to try to finish. Keeping up with this blog is important to me, and I'll try to do a better job of posting more regularly in the future.

New England's largest egg farm has become the target of an undercover Humane Society investigation.
Video captured by an undercover worker appears to show egg-laying hens living in filth, with rodents and decomposing chicken carcasses in cages at Hillandale Farms in Turner, Maine.
"The facilities are horrendous," said Humane Society Vice President of Farm Animal Protection Paul Shapiro. "The problems are rampant, and we documented exactly what we saw."
The HSUS undercover worker alleges the decomposing chicken corpses were kept in cages with live chickens for weeks, and that the hens were kept in cages so tight, the birds could not extend their wings. The worker also says birds were often trapped by the necks and wings, caught on rusty wires, unable to access food or water.
The Humane Society is requesting state and federal officials launch an investigation into egg farm, which is owned by Jack DeCoster. The DeCoster family has repeatedly plead guilty to, and paid fines for workplace safety violations. Father and son Jack and Peter DeCoster, may even serve jail time for a salmonella outbreak in 2010 that sickened thousands of people.
"Considering the sordid history of this particular facility, and the gruesome images in this video, we hope they'll take it seriously," said Shapiro.
A spokesperson for the Maine Department of Agriculture acknowledged that the department has received the complaint, and is "taking the matter seriously."
The latest news from around the state
In a prepared statement, a spokesperson for Hillandale Farms said the following: "At Hillandale Farms, we take great pride in the quality of eggs we produce, and have high standards for hen care and egg safety.
"When we took over management of the Maine farms last July, we were aware the barns were aging. Since then, we have invested in equipment and process upgrades to enhance our production operations, as well as expanded training for our team members.
"We reviewed the video, and we are investigating the practices in the barns where this footage may have been captured to ensure this is addressed immediately. The worker who shot the video did not meet Hillandale’s standard of care and is no longer employed by us. For example, it is our practice that any mortality be removed from cages within a day.
"We have engaged our farm veterinarian, food safety and quality assurance teams to act swiftly to assure that we meet or exceed all animal health and food safety guidelines. In addition, we have reached out proactively to ask the Maine Department of Agriculture to conduct an immediate inspection."
Vendors visiting the farm Tuesday defended Hillandale, and said the Decoster family is not involved in the daily operations.
"[Hillandale] is always very strict on the rules, aware of employees and safety," said Russ Schmelzer, who does packaging for the egg farm. He told necn he has never observed chickens living in the conditions depicted in the HSUS video.
The Humane Society is urging consumers to purchase cage-free eggs, and is collecting signatures to create a ballot referendum question in Massachusetts that would prohibit the sale of eggs and other animal products that come from "extreme cage confinement."

I agree with everything except for their criticism of Mia Khalifa at the end because she is a national treasure! I don't agree with shaming women who want to work in the adult film industry but they do make a good point about why she doesn't get taken seriously as a professional business woman after the fact. Definitely something young women considering opening an OnlyFans account should keep in mind.
But this isn't about Mia Khalifa, this is about toxic-feminism trying to shame women who want to support their families. Going so far as to insinuate that the only purpose a married woman has is to "make sandwiches."
These women want a real man to support them but toxic-feminism tells them not to do simple acts of support like making a meal as if there is nothing noble about taking care of a family. No actual man who has his shit-together wants to marry a selfish woman who doesn't support her own family. No child wants to be told by their parent to make their own sandwich. Human beings evolved the family unit over centuries. No amount of large red-heads screaming about patriarchy are ever going to change that. Such women are just going to find themselves going against the grain while dating weak beta-males and wondering why they are not truly and deeply satisfied.
Hey modern day so-called "feminists," shut the fuck up already. Most normal people are getting sick of your shit. You aren't what you think you are and the pendulum is swinging back to sanity.

Why Choose Heart Health Omega Essential Omega Fish Oil With Vitamin E?
Heart Health Essential Omega III with Vitamin E is a superior product due to a number of factors. The best fish are used in producing a clean and safe product that is rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Heart Health Essential Omega III comes from small fish where other competitive products use large fish that are more likely to accumulate toxins. Heart Health Essential Omega III provides a high quality, high purity product with significant percentages of the health promoting EPA and DHA.
The fish oil in Heart Health Essential Omega III with Vitamin E comes from sardines and anchovies that have a short lifecycle, making them an ideal source of fish oil because they are less prone to accumulating environmental toxins that can be found in larger, longer-lived fish. Contaminants are generally extremely low in sardines and anchovies even before they go through an intense purification process. Every batch of fish oil is tested prior to processing by our manufacturer and must pass more than 200 quality checks during the production process.
In an article published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the effects of Omega-3 Fish oil supplementation were shown to be beneficial for healthy cognitive and cardiac functioning. The study shows that supplementing with fish oil daily can rapidly raise the levels of EPA and DHA in cardiac tissue. This is important because both EPA and DHA have been shown to help maintain normal heart function. This study also showed an inverse relationship between EPA/DHA and arachidonic acid (AA), an omega-6 fatty acid. As EPA and DHA increased in atrial (heart tissue) phospholipids, AA decreased.1
Heart Health Essential Omega III Fish Oil with Vitamin E provides 900mg of EPA† (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 600mg of DHA† (docosahexaenoic acid) which studies have shown to be the most effective in promoting overall cardiovascular health.
An unhealthy diet of processed, high-calorie, high-fat foods, pollution, smoking and sedentary lifestyles all contribute to poor heart health. Not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, exercising regularly and taking the right supplements can all contribute to promoting good cardiovascular health.
- Metcalf, R., James, M., Gibson, A., Edwards, J., Subberfield, J., Stuklis, R., Roberts-Thomson, K., Young, G., and Cleland, L. Effects of fish-oil supplementation on myocardial fatty acids in humans. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition; May 2007; Volume 85; Issue 5
Fish Body Oils [EPA† 900 mg and DHA† 600 mg]
Fish oils or marine oils, are lipids (fats) found in fish, particularly cold water fish like herring, kipper, mackerel, menhaden, pilchard, salmon, sardine, trout, and phytoplankton. The sources of fish oil in Heart Health Essential Omega III Fish Oil are sardines and anchovies, tested by the manufacturer and an independent testing company to be virtually free of mercury lead, PCB and other heavy metals. Fish oils are rich sources of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexanenoic acid) are the two most studied fish oils. DHA is a necessary component of the phospholipids in human cellular membranes, especially those found in the brain and retina.
Omega-3 fatty acids compete metabolically with omega-6 fatty acids, found in higher amounts in typical western diets. Omega-6 fatty acids may inhibit the incorporation of omega-3 fatty acids into tissue lipids. Omega-3 fatty acids may inhibit the conversion of many omega-6 fatty acids into arachidonic acid. Consumption of omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, corresponds with an increase of these fatty acids in cell membranes and circulatory lipids along with a simultaneous reduction in omega-6 fatty acids.
Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol)
The most valuable sources of dietary vitamin E include vegetable oils, margarine, nuts, seeds, avocados and wheat germ. Safflower oil contains large amounts of vitamin E (about two thirds of the RDA in ¼ cup) and there are trace amounts in corn oil and soybean oil. Vitamin E is actually a family of related compounds called tocopherols and tocotrienols. For those individuals watching their dietary fat consumption, vitamin E intake is likely to be low, due to a reduced intake of foods with high fat content. The main benefit of Vitamin E comes from its antioxidant activity.

Les Miles may no longer be the football coach at LSU, but at least one student is still living life with a “go for it at all costs” attitude that also got her escorted from the premises.
According to a simply wonderful story from WAFB.com, 20-year-old Renuka Koritala was arrested after she allegedly vomited on fellow LSU students during the Tigers’ game Saturday at Baton Rouge. Police say she then fled the scene and, when cornered, kicked one of the officers to the ground before being fireman-carried out of the building, which is how I like to think Miles fought when he was told he was fired.
There’s nothing to indicated she went Full Phillies Fan and vomited intentionally.
This is my favorite part of this four-paragraph story:
When officers were finally able to catch her at a stairway, she kicked one of the officers in his right knee, causing him to fall.
The probable cause report says after kicking the officer, other officers had to execute a fireman’s carry to take her out of the stadium to prevent her from hurting herself or others. Once out of the stands, officials say Koritala was able to free her leg and kick the first officer a second time. She was taken to the booking room and advised of her rights per Miranda.
So this poor cop, who probably had a sweet spot for watching the Ole Miss-LSU game, not only got kicked in the leg by the woman, she also got free and kicked him again.
The story also says Koritala had marijuana in her possession, which seems irrelevant because weed doesn’t make you go Hulk on police officers. If she was baked at an LSU home win, she probably would’ve been arrested at the concession line buying Swedish Fish.

Join the CHG!
Interested in doing what we do? The best way to start is to contact one of our units that best aligns with what you want to portray!
Each unit's leadership can best detail all the ins and outs to include what you would need to acquire, general costs, and how their unit operates. It is important to contact the unit you are interested in joining because the CHG does not permit walk-on individuals at its events nor does it permit solo reenactors to join unannounced.
You must be at least 18 years of age to join the CHG and participate at events the club hosts.
Click on the links below to view our active units.
What is reenacting?
Re-enacting, also known as living history, is a different approach to learning about the past. It's best described as people who dress up in period clothes and equipment order educate as well as be educated. Immersing oneself in accurate clothes, using the correct equipment, and sometimes eating the same type of food available at the time offers a unique perspective of history that is not achieved by reading books or watching films. Feeling the clothes, bearing the weight of the gear while running or marching, and being surrounded by others doing the same as you can almost immerse you back in time. Better yet, when going back and reading the real accounts and stories, you'll have a deeper understanding and appreciation of what's being described.
Existing Re-enactors and Units
Do you represent a group or unit looking to join the CHG? Contact our Executive Committee Chairman with your interest. The process for creating a new unit within the club is outlined in our Bylaws and requires approval by the Executive Committee.
The club generally looks for motivated groups with established activity that can benefit to the events it currently hosts. Typically, our event scenarios are set in the European, Mediterranean and Eastern Front theaters. While we occasionally hold Pacific theater scenarios, these are usually an alternate impression for most units as we don't hold these events enough. Our Chairman can help you with the process.

Q. My problem embarrasses me so much that I have not been able to ask anyone for answers. I want to know how I got genital herpes. I was married and monogamous for seven years when I had my first outbreak during a time of very high stress. Could herpes lie dormant for such a long time? Or was my husband lying to me when he said he was monogamous with me? Or is it possible to acquire genital herpes through oral sex if one's partner has cold sores?
A. I'm sorry to hear that you have herpes, but I'm particularly sorry that it's causing you so much concern about your relationship and that you have nowhere to turn for advice.
As many as 25 percent of North Americans are thought to have been infected with the virus that's the usual cause of genital herpes, the herpes simplex virus, Type 2 (HSV-2). But about a third of new cases of genital herpes are being caused by the Type 1 herpes simplex virus, which is the virus responsible for cold sores.
It often is transmitted by direct contact with the herpes sores but frequently occurs when no symptoms are present. This typically occurs during sexual contact, but it does not require intercourse.
In women with an outbreak of genital herpes, the painful, itchy blisters and sores often develop on the vulva, in and around the vagina, and on the cervix, but they also can spread beyond the genital area.
Though multiple lesions of this kind in the genital area almost always are caused by herpes, confirming the diagnosis requires taking some fluid from a blister and looking to see of the virus is present.
Herpes simplex viruses will remain in a person's body long after an outbreak of sores subsides. Reactivation of the virus can be triggered by too much sun, fever, other infections, physical or emotional stress and problems with the immune system.
The antiviral drugs acyclovir, valacyclovir and famciclovir, taken orally, have been used effectively to reduce the time that the herpes virus is shed and decrease the time for healing. Acyclovir (Zovirax) and penciclovir (Denavir) are ointments that also help heal lesions faster and decrease the time the herpes virus is shed.
During an episode, keep the infected area clean by gentle washing with soap and water. The area then should be thoroughly dried. Allowing the blisters and sores to stay moist may worsen the problem.
People with a history of herpes may infect their partners even when they are not aware of an outbreak. Therefore, the general advice is to use protection, including condoms, even if intercourse is not involved.
Though it's not common, initial outbreaks can go unnoticed, so your recent outbreak could have been a reactivation of an earlier infection you had. And, yes, it is possible for you to have gotten the genital lesions from cold sores.
It also could have been passed to you because of a recurrence of the infection in your husband that he got before you were married. As you can see, your developing herpes is not evidence of infidelity.
Talk with your husband about your concerns and talk with a doctor about possible medical treatment.
Increasingly, people are getting good results using a type of positioning exercise, sometimes called Brandt exercises, in which the person, sitting on the side of a bed, alternates lying to one side and then another.
After the appropriate diagnosis, these should be initially taught by a doctor or a physical therapist, after which they can be done at home.

Mary Church Terrell-educator, political activist, author of A Colored Woman in a White World, and first president of the National Association of Colored Women—was born on this day, September 23, in 1863, in Memphis, Tennessee.
An 1884 graduate of Oberlin College, America’s first college to admit women and amongst the first to admit students of all races. Terrell was an African-American woman among mostly white male students. Still, the freshman class elected her as class poet, and she was elected to two of the college’s literary societies. Mary also served as an editor of the Oberlin Review. When she earned her bachelor’s degree in 1884, she was one of the first African-American women known to have earned a college degree. Mary continued on to earn a master’s degree from Oberlin in 1888.
Mary Church taught at a black secondary school in Washington, DC and at Wilberforce College, a historically black college founded by the Methodist Church in Ohio. She studied in Europe for two years, where she became fluent in French, German, and Italian.
Terrell began her career as a teacher. After her marriage to Washington lawyer Robert Terrell, she became active in the National American Woman Suffrage Association where she became a spokesperson for the particular concerns of African-American women. A passionate advocate of education, Terrell sold her speeches during this period in order to raise money for a kindergarten. In 1895, she was the first African-American woman to serve on the Washington, D.C., school board in which she served until 1905 and again from 1906 to 1911.
During the late 19th century, numerous local Black women’s service clubs were formed. The Black club members found that they could not affiliate themselves with the National Council of Women, the General Federation of Women’s clubs, nor could they be represented at the 1893 World’s Fair.
Inspired by the ability of national clubs to tackle national issues their exclusion from participation in the planning of the 1893 World’s Fair, Terrell and other black women leaders to formed the National Association of Colored Women (NACW) in 1896. Also known as the National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs, it was created to serve as an umbrella organization for black women’s groups throughout the country.
Mary Church Terrell was the first President of the NACW and under her leadership, the NACW worked to achieve social and educational reform and to end discrimination based on gender and race. The NACW addressed issues ranging from lynching, Jim Crow, suffrage and the plight rural women. Under her leadership the NACW established training programs for and parents programs.
By the turn of the century, Mary Church Terrell had firmly established herself as a lecturer on women’s issues.

Here in Pickering Ontario we are experiencing some extreme temperatures. As a result, our veterinary clinic has received a lot of questions about how to keep your pets cool. Here is a little known fact, dogs and cats have sweat glands in their feet. And cats will pant like dogs to keep themselves cool. So a quick way to cool your pet is to put their feet in cold water or let them wade around in water (courtesy of OVMA).
Please be careful this week. Not only for yourselves, but for your pets. Make sure you and your pets are well hydrated and ideally, stay indoors where it is cool.
Wishing you the best, Dr. Kathleen Fulop.

House ethics investigators have been scrutinizing the activities of more than 30 lawmakers and several aides in inquiries about issues including defense lobbying and corporate influence peddling, according to a confidential House ethics committee report prepared in July. The report appears to have been inadvertently placed on a publicly accessible computer network, and it was provided to The Washington Post by a source not connected to the congressional investigations. The committee said Thursday night that the document was released by a low-level staffer.
The Post reported in a second story that “nearly half the members of a powerful House subcommittee in control of Pentagon spending are under scrutiny.”
There’s little chance that any of the members under investigation will actually be held accountable for thei actions, though. As the Post noted, “The ethics committee is one of the most secretive panels in Congress, and its members and staff members sign oaths not to disclose any activities related to its past or present investigations…Most result in private letters that either exonerate or reprimand a member. In some rare instances, the censure is more severe.”

"It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one’s acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times—in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis."

University of Wisconsin-Superior will require masks on campus as of next week
Douglas County is currently experiencing a moderate level of COVID-19 transmission.
The University of Wisconsin-Superior will require everyone, regardless of vaccine status, to wear masks when inside its buildings beginning Monday, despite Douglas County not currently meeting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's mask-recommended threshold.
“We are striving to do everything within our power to deliver a top-quality educational experience, while continuing to help slow or stop the spread of COVID-19,” Chancellor Renée Wachter said in a news release.
The University of Minnesota Duluth, the College of St. Scholastica, Lake Superior College and Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College are all already requiring masks.
Douglas County is currently experiencing "moderate" transmission of COVID-19, according to the CDC, which recommends masking in communities experiencing a "substantial" level of transmission or higher.
Only about 9% of the country was below that threshold as of the CDC's last report. Douglas County in Wisconsin, with 18 new cases in the last week, and Cook County in Minnesota are the only counties in the Northland below the masking threshold.
The COVID-19 vaccine clinic on the UW-Superior campus will move Tuesday from the Wessman Arena to Room 157 in the Yellowjacket Union. Walk-in appointments are available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays.
COVID-19 tests will continue to be available in the Marcovich Wellness Center through Sept. 30, at least.

Chesco man suing Concord for $14M
A Chester County contractor is suing Concord Township for nearly $15 million after the township board of supervisors denied him a certificate of occupancy for a social club on a building that was subsequently sold to someone else.
“The problem is that every time I drive past the building in Concord Township, it makes me sick to my stomach that politicians there pulled a typical move and denied me use-by-right,” said Tom Pancoast, owner of Pancoast Construction. “Longtime politicians think rules don’t apply to them. … I’m not going to walk away with my tail between my legs.”
The complaint springs from a multimillion dollar entertainment complex for teens that Pancoast had proposed building at the vacant Ethan Allen store at 819 Baltimore Pike. The “Under 21 Social Club” would have included basketball courts, floor hockey, video games, live music, an ice cream bar and more.
Pancoast said the club would create at least 40 jobs, give children a safe place to hang out, bring revenue into the township and give a boost to other businesses and vendors.
Pancoast submitted his application to the township in November 2012, but was denied in January on the grounds that the proposed use “does not involve the sort of expressive association as the ones within the established Club.”
Pancoast filed a complaint with the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas, looking to force approval for the certificate application. The township moved to dismiss that complaint, arguing Pancoast has no right to the property and the township’s zoning code for the Concord Village Overlay District prohibits the intended use.
A “social club” is defined in Concord as “a nonprofit facility, the use of which is restricted to members and their authorized guests, such as veterans’ fraternal, social or senior citizens’ organizations.”
Pancoast said he had been certified by Pennsylvania for a members-only nonprofit organization for “The Under-21 Club LLC” and that the township has no legal right to deny him the certificate of occupancy.
Litigation in that complaint is ongoing, with the township looking to collect legal fees from Pancoast. During the course of the dispute, however, the property was sold and Pancoast now contends the township owes him for the money he would have made operating the club.
“The reason I’m suing Concord Township is because they did me wrong,” he said. “How can a township outright disregard their own ordinance and get away with it? That is (wrong) and that’s why I filed a lawsuit.” Continued...
The complaint alleges breach of express contract, breach of implied contract in fact, and civil rights violations for deprivation of property and the right to just compensation for taking of property.
Pancoast claims he entered into a contract with the township when it agreed to review his application, which the township breached when it failed to timely issue him a certificate of occupancy.
He is seeking damages of $12,869,135. Though he has filed the suit pro se, Pancoast anticipates he will also incur $2 million in legal fees, which he is also seeking to recover from the township.
Township Solicitor Hugh Donohue said he does not believe Pancoast’s complaint has “any merit whatsoever,” noting he never had an agreement of sale for the property.
“I’m shocked that more people are not involved in owning 21-and-under social clubs when they’re making $12 million on a regular basis,” he said. “And I find it somewhat curious that he’s demanded $2 million in attorney’s fees when there’s no attorney involved.”
“Concord Township denied us a use by right and we’re going to ask them to pay now,” said Pancoast. “There’s got to be some kind of repercussion for Concord Township denying its own ordinances and if there ain’t, then the whole thing falls apart.”

Tyres over 10 years old to be banned on these vehicles in bid to improve safety
Using tyres that are more than 10 years old on certain types of vehicles is to become illegal as part of an effort to improve road safety.
From February 2021 operators of lorries, buses and taxis will be banned from using older tyres on the front wheels and they will be banned from use at all on minibuses.
The move comes after research by the Department for Transport found that ageing tyres suffer corrosion that could cause them to fail, leading to accidents.
The ban means that any vehicle fitted with tyres that are aged 10 years and older will automatically fail its annual MOT test. It will also fail if the tyres do not display a date code, either for original manufacture or, in the case of re-treads, the date the re-treading was carried out.
If a vehicle is spotted with older tyres during a roadside inspection by DVSA enforcement officers it will be issued with an ‘S mark prohibition meaning the vehicle will have to be taken off the road until newer tyres are fitted.
Announcing the move, Roads Minister Baroness Vere said: “In the same way that you wouldn’t drive a car with faulty brakes, ensuring your tyres are fit for purpose is crucial in making every journey safer.
“Taking this step will give drivers across the country confidence their lorries, buses and coaches are truly fit for use – a safety boost for road users everywhere.
“This change is in no small way the result of years of campaigning, particularly from Frances Molloy, to whom I thank and pay tribute.
Frances Molloy’s son Michael died in a coach crash in 2012 when the vehicle had a 19-year-old tyre fitted to the front axle. Since the accident, Mrs Molloy has campaigned to see the law changed.

Victor Oladipo is still recovering from the knee injury that he suffered last season, but he has confidence in his team at least reaching the postseason.
"Playoffs, for sure. Definitely," Oladipo said Saturday, per J. Michael of the Indianapolis Star.
The Pacers have reached the playoffs the last four years, losing in the first round each season.
Although Oladipo is not guaranteeing a deeper run in 2020, he knows the squad is at least good enough to get one of the top eight seeds in the Eastern Conference.
The East could be weaker than ever this year after Kawhi Leonard left the NBA champion Toronto Raptors for the Los Angeles Clippers in the offseason. The Boston Celtics lost Kyrie Irving and Al Horford, while the Philadelphia 76ers gained Horford but lost Jimmy Butler.
Even the Milwaukee Bucks could struggle to replace Malcolm Brogdon.
Brogdon is now on Indiana, giving the squad a reliable point guard who can help on both ends of the court. Additions Jeremy Lamb and T.J. Warren will also provide some much-needed scoring options from the perimeter.
Considering the Pacers already had third-best defensive efficiency in the NBA last year, per Basketball Reference, this could be a scary team in the upcoming season.
"I feel like we got some great additions. We got a chance to be really special. I feel like the league is wide open," Oladipo said. "I was excited for the opportunity to play with [Brogdon]. I know what type of player he is, the level that he plays on and has been playing on the last couple of years from Milwaukee. To have him as an addition is pretty big for us."
Even if Oladipo remains out for the first few months of the year, there is more than enough talent for Indiana to make the playoffs for the ninth time in 10 years.
The only question is whether the squad can find a way to get out of the first round this time around.

Tina Sampay for L.A Focus Newspaper
California residents gathered over 1,400,000 signatures to hold a special election September 4, where voters will get to decide if our current Governor Gavin Newsom should remain in office.
Polls estimate that at least 50% of the Latino community support California’s recall for Governor and Republican frontrunner Larry Elder is focused on swaying their votes.
Elder was endorsed during a press conference this morning moderated by Gloria Romero, who served as the former California Democratic Majority Leader, and former California Lieutenant Governor Abel O. Maldonado.
Priority was given to Journalists covering Latino communities during the Q&A part of the conference.
“The reason I am getting in this race is because California is hurting. For the first time you are seeing a mass migration out of California, the middle class is leaving and the #1 reason they cite is the price of a house,” Elder detailed during the press conference.
Elder, 69, is a Republican talk-show host who has been running a fierce campaign against Newsom, fueled in part by the Governor’s COVID-19 mandates and forced business closures.
The recall effort against Newsom picked up steam during the pandemic, with California experiencing some of the strictest mandates to curb the increase in Coronavirus cases.


Detroit's Dombrowski hoping to upgrade CF, bullpen
DETROIT (AP) — Dave Dombrowski believes Detroit's window to win a World Series is still very much open.
The Tigers' general manager offered few specifics about any immediate moves during Tuesday's news conference, but outlined a couple areas he'd like to improve during the offseason. One of them is the bullpen — an obvious trouble spot throughout 2014. Dombrowski would also like an upgrade in center field.
The Tigers won their fourth-straight AL Central title this year but were swept in the division series by Baltimore. With stars Max Scherzer and Victor Martinez set to become free agents — and with Kansas City and Cleveland mounting more of a challenge within the division — Detroit's future suddenly looks a bit more uncertain.
"We have a good team and we have a good foundation coming back for sure," Dombrowski said. "We're going to have a very hefty payroll. We know that we have good core players."
Manager Brad Ausmus will be back for a second season, but Dombrowski did not say whether the team would pick up reliever Joakim Soria's option for 2015. He also wouldn't say whether the team planned to make any qualifying offers to pending free agents like Scherzer and Martinez, saying it wasn't appropriate to make announcements like that while the postseason was still in progress.
It may be harder than usual for Dombrowski to anticipate what this offseason will look like, since a lot presumably depends on whether the team loses Scherzer and Martinez. Detroit already made one major move this year that could help mitigate Scherzer's potential departure, acquiring left-hander David Price at the trade deadline. Even if Scherzer leaves, Detroit will have Price, Justin Verlander, Anibal Sanchez and Rick Porcello in the starting rotation.
"That's a pretty good place to start with those four," Dombrowski said, adding that Miguel Cabrera will still be in the middle of the lineup.
But the Tigers had to give up center fielder Austin Jackson to acquire Price, leaving the team to try Rajai Davis, Ezequiel Carrera and Don Kelly at center. Dombrowski says he'd be interested in a lefty-hitting center fielder who could platoon with Davis — or someone who might be able to play center full time. Elsewhere in the outfield, Torii Hunter is another pending free agent, and faces an uncertain future.
The bullpen may also be targeted for an overhaul. Dombrowski said Joe Nathan, who posted a 4.81 ERA and blew seven saves this year, will probably still be the closer heading into the 2015. "But then he has to perform up to the capabilities of doing that," Dombrowski said.
Dombrowski said reliever Joba Chamberlain was dealing with a family issue this season; his mother has been sick. Soria, meanwhile, went down with an oblique strain in August. But the Tigers were hopeful those three were finally pitching well heading into the postseason, but that was not the case.
Dombrowski did indicate the team still thinks highly of Soria, who has a $7 million team option.
"If we pick up his option, he'd be a very important member of our bullpen," Dombrowski said. "I think in his case, and in David Price's case, when we acquired them we not only looked at 2014 but 2015."
Cabrera dealt with ankle problems this year, and though Dombrowski did not rule out surgery, he said any sort of procedure would be minor.
"There's a spur in there, and people that have looked at him so far tell me that if it has to be removed, it's a relatively easy — for them — procedure," Dombrowski said. "But I don't want to draw any conclusions yet, because he's not done with that whole process."
Catcher Alex Avila has had to deal with concussion problems, though assistant general manager Al Avila, Alex's father, said Tuesday that tests show Alex is "healthy" and "ready to go."
"He should have no issues moving forward," Al Avila said, "as far as life-threatening things or career-ending things — at this point the doctors have given him no indication that that's the case."

autoimmune disease, myasthenia gravis
B Rai. Myasthenia Gravis: Challenge to Dental Profession. The Internet Journal of Academic Physician Assistants. 2006 Volume 6 Number 1.
Myasthenia gravis is a chronic neuromuscular disease characterized by muscular weakness and fatigability. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease that requires special considerations for dental treatment. Dentists are in unique position to monitor patients for potential emergence or recurrence of MG. The purpose of this article was to review and summarize the diagnosis, signs and symptoms and treatment of MG, suggested treatment modification potential complications and highlighting the role of dental profession in process of diagnosis and management.
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a disease characterized by progressive muscular weakness on exertion, secondary to a disorder at the neuromuscular junction. Myasthenia gravis, a chronic neuromuscular disease, was first described clinically by Willis1 over 400 year ago. The discovery of a decrease in acetylcholine receptors at neuromuscular functions in patients with MG2 has led to remarkable progress in understanding the nature of this disease, thus resulting in better diagnosis and improved treatment strategy. This article reviews the considerations for dental treatment of the myasthenia gravis patient.
The etiology is unknown, although there is an increased incidence in patients with thymoma and other autoimmune and related disorder.3,4,5 Muscular weakness and fatigue, characteristic of MG, may be associated with an antibody mediated auto immune attack directed toward the acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junctions.6 Auto-antibodies reduce the availability of the target antigen, the nicotine acetylcholine receptors. This results in an usually limited duration of the neural impulses and small amplitude of the motor unit potential.7
Most report that myasthenia gravis patients who undergo thymectomy are more likely to be asymptomatic and achieve a medication free remission. All current studies have serious methodological flaws that prevent definitive conclusion regarding the benefit of thymectomy in MG.9 Short term immuno therapy such as plasmapheresis and intervenous immune globin, are also considered for rapid improvement of a complex period of myasthenia crisis.6
Diagnosis, Prognosis and Treatment
Initial signs of this disease commonly occur in areas innervated by the cranial nerves. Patients present with ptosis, diplopia, difficulty in chewing or swallowing, respiratory difficulties, limb weakness, or some combination of these problems. In some patients, the disease remains confined to the eye muscles, but in most cases, it progresses to other cranial nerve as well as to the shoulders and limbs.
Diagnosis is largely based on a characteristic history of fluctuating diploma, ptosis, dysarthria, and limb eakness.8 Dysphagia, dyspnea and head droop may also be present. Affected muscles are fatigable and symptoms improve with rest.
Immunosuppressive therapy, mainly steroids, may be used to treat MG patients who do not response to high doses of anticholinesterase agents. Since temporary deterioration is possible after initial treatment with high doses of steroids, the risk of exacerbation could be minimized by gradually increasing the corticosteroid dosage.10Prednisone long/day is usually administered by gradually increasing the dose up to 50 mg/day over 2 to 3 weeks, which then can be readjusted according to the treatment outcome. Immuno suppressive steroid sparing agents can be used to minimize the adverse effects of the high doses of steroids.11 At least 4% of patients present with difficulty chewing and a fatigable reduction in biting force. Chewing difficulty can develop before other symptoms providing an opportunity for early diagnosis and treatment.9 Hence, dentists are in an opportune position to pick up early signs of MG, especially those involving the head, neck and oro-pharyngeal regions and can significantly benefit patients by being familiar with this disease.
Myasthenia gravis is no longer considered a terminal disease, and with suitable optimal medical care, the mortality rate is low.6 When MG is left untreated, the 10-year mortality rate ranges from 20% to 30% when associated with athymema, particularly in older patients, MG has poor prognosis.12
Oral and facial signs are an important component of the clinical picture of MG. The facial muscles are commonly involved, giving the patient an immobile and expressionless appearance. Muscular weakness may impair the patient is ability to socio allow and chew.3,4 This can result in a marked reduction in function in well managed patient.5 Patients with bulbar MG have poor masticatory perforance13, similar to patients with progressive cerebral palsy14 dystrophy15.
A furrowed, flaccid clinical appearance of the tongue may be seen due to lipomatous atrophy.16 Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis may result from dysfunctional cell due to thymema.17
Role of Dentist
This may develop life threatening if a significant risk of aspiration develops5, although this severity of illness is often accompanied by more serious involvement of the respiratory muscles requiring intubation and ventilatory support in hospital setting.5 Dentists should be prepared to the patients managing physician, particularly if progression of symptoms are noted, so that appropriate changes in medications can be made. Teporal or dentists should be aware that alteration of facial expression, chewing and swallowing difficulty and weakness including aysarthria, dysnea, diplopia and dysphagia may be due to MG particularly if the weakness becomes worse the use. This finding is especially important if the patient reports ptosis, diplopia or if there is a history of thymoma or previous MG.
Special considerations for dental treatment
A unique challenge to the dentists is the provision of routine dental treatment to an MG patient. Communication between patient, neurologist, and dentist is necessary to avoid complications. Prior to treating any patient with a history of MG a thorough review of symptoms should be performed as well as an assessment of the patient is ability to swallow and speak normally. The amount of tie of the patient and look up before ptosis and the length of time the patient can maintain with outstretched arms are a quick clinical measure of the severity of symptoms18 and should be recorded in the chart regularly. Recent changes in the severity of symptoms should be reported to the patient is physician.
Multiple, short early morning appointments should be scheduled to avoid daily added muscle weakness and to take advantage of the typically greater muscular strength noted during the morning hours.19 Oral anticholinesterase agents should be administered 1.5 hours before dental treatment to achieve maximal effect during the dental procedures.13The use of bite blocks, rest periods and other such approaches should also be considered. Nitrous oxide oxygen sedation may reduce stress and anxiety associated with dental treatment. Mostly patients will be taking cortical, cholinesterase inhibitors, or both. Patients on long term steroid therapy should be considered immuno compromised and risk of different disorder18 all of which may contribute to a myasthenic crisis. A cholinergic crisis is serious event in which respiratory muscles involved and cause airway plugging and atelectasis.20 Rubber dam should be used with caution and oral secretions need to be managed. NSAIDS are a good choice for analgesia.3 When severe pain is anticipated opioids can be prescribed for short term after consultation with physician.21 Anticonvulsants and aminoglyco sides should be avoided in patients with MG.21Amide type local anesthetics, such as lidocaine or mepivacaine, can be administered safely.13Local anesthetics administered using the intra ligamentary or intrapulpal techniques should be considered to minimize doses of the drug when possible.22 Mysthenia gravis is a serious disease that requires specific treatment modifications in order to avoid exacerbation even in well controlled patients. Dentist should be familiar with signs of MG.
The longitudinal studies are needed to establish a reliable guideline for dental treatment of MG patients.

Coming off a devastating loss to Stone Ridge Christian on Monday, the Turlock Christian High varsity volleyball team put the loss behind them and brought back their winning ways on Tuesday.
TC came out strong from the onset when they traveled to Big Valley Christian on Tuesday for a Central California Athletic Association battle.
There was no stopping TC, which played up to their potential and won the game in straight sets, 3-0, [25-15, 25-18 and 25-21].
“We figured out what we did wrong and we had an amazing game,” said TC head coach Pam Franco. “We knew we had it in them and the girls found what worked for them. They figured it out, but I knew this team was in them; couldn’t be prouder of them.”
“Monday night was probably the worst game we ever had, we did not play as a team, not together. But today, we stepped it up and showed we are a team and we can do it,” said TC senior Meghan Mark. “This was a big win for us, we needed this.”
TC is now tied with Big Valley Christian and Stone Ridge Christian for first place at 5-1 each.
“We knew we needed this win if we wanted to stay in the hunt with Stone Ridge and Big Valley,” said Franco. “We brought the intensity tonight.”
With no time for practice, Franco was quick to serve up some words of wisdom for her team before Tuesday’s game and it worked.
TC came out and played the way Franco knew they could — consistent.
The team was dishing up the digs when they needed it and managing the game as they set themselves up for a nice straight set victory.
“We had a really big talk with our coach and she motivated and told us we can all play together and we have to want it for ourselves,” said Mark.
Behind Mark’s and Nicky Sander’s 44 digs, the Eagles of TC forced the Lions to play uncomfortable and it showed on the scoreboard.
“After Monday's game where we did not play as a team, it was unacceptable and tonight [Tuesday] we had a come to Jesus moment and we wanted that game,” said Sanders, who finished with 20 digs. “We wanted to take it to Big Valley and we took it one game and point at a time.”
Sanders also tacked on 11 kills and 12 serve receives. Mark finished with a game-high 24 digs and 12 serve receives.
“This win was probably one of the biggest games because we knew we could pull through,” Mark added. “We need to work hard and give all we have and let a bad game stay in the past, behind us.”

Can air compressors be used for gas compression and storage?
Yes, air compressors can be used for gas compression and storage. While air compressors are commonly used to compress and store air, they can also be utilized for compressing and storing other gases, depending on the specific application requirements. Here’s how air compressors can be used for gas compression and storage:
Air compressors can compress various gases by utilizing the same principles applied to compressing air. The compressor takes in the gas at a certain pressure, and through the compression process, it increases the pressure and reduces the volume of the gas. This compressed gas can then be used for different purposes, such as in industrial processes, gas pipelines, or storage systems.
Air compressors can also be used for gas storage by compressing the gas into storage vessels or tanks. The compressed gas is stored at high pressure within these vessels until it is needed for use. Gas storage is commonly employed in industries where a continuous and reliable supply of gas is required, such as in natural gas storage facilities or for storing compressed natural gas (CNG) used as a fuel for vehicles.
While air compressors are primarily designed for compressing air, they can be adapted to handle various gases, including but not limited to:
- Carbon dioxide
- Natural gas
- Refrigerant gases
It’s important to note that when using air compressors for gas compression and storage, certain considerations must be taken into account. These include compatibility of the compressor materials with the specific gas being compressed, ensuring proper sealing to prevent gas leaks, and adhering to safety regulations and guidelines for handling and storing compressed gases.
By leveraging the capabilities of air compressors, it is possible to compress and store gases efficiently, providing a reliable supply for various industrial, commercial, and residential applications.

How does an air compressor work?
An air compressor works by using mechanical energy to compress and pressurize air, which is then stored and used for various applications. Here’s a detailed explanation of how an air compressor operates:
1. Air Intake: The air compressor draws in ambient air through an intake valve or filter. The air may pass through a series of filters to remove contaminants such as dust, dirt, and moisture, ensuring the compressed air is clean and suitable for its intended use.
2. Compression: The intake air enters a compression chamber, typically consisting of one or more pistons or a rotating screw mechanism. As the piston moves or the screw rotates, the volume of the compression chamber decreases, causing the air to be compressed. This compression process increases the pressure and reduces the volume of the air.
3. Pressure Build-Up: The compressed air is discharged into a storage tank or receiver where it is held at a high pressure. The tank allows the compressed air to be stored for later use and helps to maintain a consistent supply of compressed air, even during periods of high demand.
4. Pressure Regulation: Air compressors often have a pressure regulator that controls the output pressure of the compressed air. This allows the user to adjust the pressure according to the requirements of the specific application. The pressure regulator ensures that the compressed air is delivered at the desired pressure level.
5. Release and Use: When compressed air is needed, it is released from the storage tank or receiver through an outlet valve or connection. The compressed air can then be directed to the desired application, such as pneumatic tools, air-operated machinery, or other pneumatic systems.
6. Continued Operation: The air compressor continues to operate as long as there is a demand for compressed air. When the pressure in the storage tank drops below a certain level, the compressor automatically starts again to replenish the compressed air supply.
Additionally, air compressors may include various components such as pressure gauges, safety valves, lubrication systems, and cooling mechanisms to ensure efficient and reliable operation.
In summary, an air compressor works by drawing in air, compressing it to increase its pressure, storing the compressed air, regulating the output pressure, and releasing it for use in various applications. This process allows for the generation of a continuous supply of compressed air for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and personal uses.

This is a first-year example of BMW’s first factory café racer introduced in 1974, the R90S, a legendary machine that transformed the image of the company. BMW had always built reliable and occasionally sporting roadsters, but they also built devastating racing motorcycles: the tension between these two poles was somewhat relieved by the R90S, which was a true sporting motorcycle with terrific styling. BMW hired independent designer Hans Muth to create a contemporary sports machine using BMW’s existing architecture, which was the sixth series by 1973. Muth created the two-tone “smoke” paint job and added a small fairing and faired seat to the series line, which with some mild engine tuning was enough to create a factory café racer for the ages.
The R90S had a 900cc motor that produced 67 HP, giving a top speed of around 125 MPH with a quarter-mile time of 13.5 seconds, and a 0-60 MPH time of 4.6 seconds, all plenty fast at the time. The engine was a typical BMW boxer motor base on the R75/5 of 1968 but bored out to 898cc. The total weight of the machine was 474 pounds, and the gearbox was upgraded to a 5-speed item, with of course shaft final drive. Two color schemes were available, “silver smoke” and “Daytona orange”, which was a radical move from the formerly all-black BMW lineup. The engine breathed through Dell’Orto carbs instead of the usual Bings, the rear suspension had adjustable damping and the wheels used alloy rims with traditional spokes. A pair of R90S racers finished first and second at the first-ever AMA Superbike race at Daytona International Speedway in 1976, ridden by Steve McLaughlin and Reg Pridmore, respectively.
This first-year 1974 BMW R90S is an absolute classic over the years, combining beauty with performance and earning the title as the machine that brought BMW into a new sporting era.
