LOW LEVEL DRUM ALARM warns of empty drums with a bright flashing LED and a loud beeper when liquid level is low.
Drum Low Level Control…
- Always on duty because the liquid suction tube is permanently attached to the alarm unit.
- It can go anywhere because its battery powered. No need for power outlets.
- Uninterruptible battery power lasts for years. Lithium battery included.
- Loud warbling tone cuts through the loudest industrial noise.
- Rugged. Built for rough, wet and corrosive environments.
- Protects your pumps from debris with an intake screen.
- Adjustable depth using a thumbscrew.
- No metal parts to corrode.
MONITOR LOW LIQUID LEVEL IN DRUMS continuously with the Drum Alarm™. Quick and easy to install – simply connect the battery and your liquid suction line and you’re ready to go!
Various mounting styles available for any container. The slip-on cap is the most popular as it makes transfer to new drums so easy since you don’t have to screw it in, instead it just drops over the bung.
On the other hand, threaded drum plug mounting is more secure and can seal the drum when noxious vapors are a problem.
An attached suction pipe can’t be separated from the float switch, so the level alarm is always on duty. The rigid suction pipe ensure that your pump is always drawing liquid from below the alarm point. At the same time, adjusting the depth to the bottom of a drum makes sure the maximum all the chemical is extracted from your drums a the float switch leaves only a couple of millimeters of residue.
Removable screen built into the suction pipe guards your pumps from debris or crystals.
In addition, the bottom of the pipe is designed to accept an optional check valve for pumps that lose their prime.
Uninterruptible battery power works despite power failures, can’t come unplugged. Because the Drum Alarms don’t use any power until alarming, the batteries last for years.
Secure compression tubing connection eliminates air leakage into your feed lines.
Models with built-in flow indicator allows you to verify flowrate and inspect the solution. (all models except DLK)
All models are adjustable depth with a convenient thumbscrew. All are available to fit any container size.
- DLA series incorporates an slip-on cap for fast drum transfers. Includes flowmeter.
- DLAX is the same thing but without flowmeter.
- DLP models include a 2″ NPS threaded plug. (the fine drum thread) DLPX has no flowmeter.
- DLB models have 2″ buttress thread. (coarse – 1.5 threads per inch) DLBX means no flowmeter.
- DLK series has no liquid suction pipe – alarm only. Mounts in the 3/4″ NPT thread common on steel drums. Add an adapter to mount on the 2″ NPS or Buttress threaded bung.
For the above models, here is the lettering system:
P= NPS plug
B= Buttress thread plug
A= slip-on cap
X =no flowmeter.
Different materials available on all drumalarms. Polypropylene is used 95% of the time but Kynar or 316 stainless steel are available. Contact us to order these.
LOW LEVEL DRUM ALARM [DLK-55G]
Some Chemicals Commonly Used with polypropylene Drum Alarms:
- Aqueous Ammonia (conc.)
- Aqueous solutions to 100°C
- Hydrochloric acid (conc.)
- Nitric acid (30%)
- Oils (including waste oils)
- Potassium carbonate (40%)
- Sodium hydroxide (50%)
- Sulfuric acid 70%
- Sodium Hypochlorite
The following are not compatible with the acrylic flowmeter:
- Sulfuric acid 98%
- Lactic acid
- Peracetic acid
- Perchloric acid
Slip-on lid, with liquid suction pipe
2″NPT mount, with liquid suction pipe
Buttress thread, with liquid suction pipe
3/4″NPT mount, no liquid suction pipe
Silencing Button/Low Battery Alert
The Drumalarm already comes with a Button that tests the unit: this option adds a circuit that allows an operator to silence the buzzer while LED continues to flash. Resets automatically. Includes a low battery warning.
AC Power Cord
When plug-in AC power is preferred. No battery. Comes with 3-prong plug and 8-foot rubber-jacketed SJOOW cord. Power convertor is inside the enclosure.
Alternate Color LED
Default color is red. Amber, Blue, green, and white are options. [BL-x] $11
A circuit board allows you to select N.C. or N.O. output to your PLC. Includes button to silence buzzer. Includes 10ft of communications cable.
A better way to prop up your drum so you can extract the last residue. Sure a block of wood could do the trick but will your customers be impressed by it during factory inspections?
Buzzer Volume Control
Sometimes our buzzers are too loud. Snap-on “muffler” reduces the volume by 20 db an d anywhere in between just by rotating the slots. [V-1] $7


Thank you for purchasing an Active Armor Deluxe Jetpack Beacon LED Kit! The LED kit is designed to be installed in any jetpack beacon with a removable cap.
The kit includes:
(1) Beacon LED Controller Board
(1) LED with lead wires
(1) LED diffuser cap
With the jetpack beacon already installed on the jetpack, the LED kit is very easy to install in 4 easy steps:
1) Push the clear LED diffuser cap into the unscrewed beacon cap. Ensure that it is seated as deeply as it will go.
2) Push the LED into the cap ensuring that it is fully inserted.
3) Feed the LED lead wired down through the beacon shaft. You will notice a small piece of shrink wrap over the end of the wire.. this is to make feeding it through the beacon shaft easier.
3) Secure the Beacon LED Controller Board to the inside of your jetpack, somewhere near the top by where the beacon is mounted. As the Controller Board is very light, this is easily completed with velcro.
4) Pull the protective covers off of the ends of both the controller board wires, and the LED wires. You will see that on each pair of wires, one wire is gold, and the other silver. Simply connect the gold to gold, and silver to silver. Once the wires are twisted together, wrap each with a small piece of electrical tape to stop the red from touching the black and causing a short circuit.
As the jetpack beacon can not be removed from the jetpack while connected to the Controller Board, only solder or crimp the wires together if you don’t intend to remove the beacon.
Once the Deluxe LED Beacon Kit has been fully installed, connect a 9v battery to the supplied connector. Like with the Controller Board, attaching it to the inside of the jetpack with a small piece of velcro will suffice.
Your jetpack beacon now has 4 different illumination modes. To cycle through the modes, simply press the button on the Controller Board. The modes are:
1) Solid ON – LED stays illuminated
2) Fast Blink – LED blinks at an interval of 250ms (1/4 second)
3) Slow Blink – LED blinks at an interval of 500ms (1/2 second)
4) Pulse – LED pulses on and off
If you have any problems or questions about your beacon kit, please don’t hesitate to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.org

If there’s anything better than flying to Hawaii, it’s flying to Hawaii with perks in tow. While front-of-the-cabin seating can feel out of reach for most travelers, those fortunate enough to earn elite status on Hawaiian Airlines can enjoy a luxurious journey to one of the most desirable vacation spots on earth. Here we cover everything you need to know about the perks and benefits of earning Hawaiian Airlines Pualani elite status.
How to qualify for Pualani elite status
Hawaiian Airlines has three different elite status levels: Pualani Platinum, Pualani Gold and Premier Club status.
In order to earn Pualani Gold status, travelers must fly 20,000 miles or 30 segments in one calendar year. Earning Pualani Platinum status requires flying 40,000 miles or 60 segments. Meanwhile, Premier Club status can be purchased annually for $299 or 40,000 miles. Premier Club members receive some but not all of the perks of Pualani Elite passengers.
Unlike many airlines, with Hawaiian you cannot qualify for elite status through a co-branded credit card. So you’ll need to do some serious flying if you want to earn Pualani elite status.
» Learn more: Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles: The complete guide
Benefits at the airport
The perks of being a Pualani elite member begin as soon as you arrive at the airport, with Platinum, Gold and Premier Club members able to use the first class check-in lines with up to two guests.
Gold and Premier Club members can check two bags for free, while Platinum members can check three bags. This benefit applies only to Hawaiian Airlines-operated flights.
Once they’ve checked in, Pualani elite members will not only receive Priority TSA Security access (where available), but they’ll also enjoy priority boarding. Gold and Premier Club members will have Zone 2 boarding privileges, while Platinum members will be allowed to board with Zone 1.
Pualani elite members will also have access to the Hawaiian Airlines Premier Clubs, which are located at the Honolulu, Hilo, Kona, Kahului and Lihue airports.
Finally, your perks don’t end when your flight is over — elite members also receive priority baggage handling, which means your suitcases will be the first to hit the luggage carousel, so you’ll be the first to hit the beach.
Pualani elite members don’t have to wait until they arrive at the airport for their perks to kick in. All members will have access to a wide range of reservation benefits, including greater seat selection when booking online, discounts when booking award flights with Hawaiian Airlines miles and access to an exclusive reservation line.
Additionally, Pualani Gold members receive a 50% miles bonus on revenue tickets, while Pualani Platinum members will earn a 100% bonus.
All Pualani elite members will receive 500 bonus miles on intra-island flights.
» Learn more: Here's how much your points and miles are worth
Seat upgrades are one of the most valuable parts of any airline loyalty program, and Pualani elite members will not be disappointed in their upgrade options.
Both Gold and Platinum members are eligible for complimentary upgrades to non-first-class seats, when available. Platinum members will receive free upgrades to available first class seats, while Gold members will be able to upgrade to the front of the cabin at a 50% discount.
» Learn more: How to get cheap upgrades to first class
Pualani Gold and Platinum elite members are eligible for complimentary fare holds. This allows them to hold a ticket at a specific fare for a set period of time before they either purchase the ticket or cancel at no cost.
Platinum members receive the extra benefit of having a guaranteed economy class seat when flying to neighboring islands, up to 72 hours before the flight’s departure.
The bottom line
Whether you’re a frequent visitor to the Hawaiian islands or are taking a once-in-a-lifetime trip, Pualani elite status can elevate your Hawaiian adventure. First class check-in, airport lounges and complimentary upgrades will make you feel like your vacation has started even before your plane has left the runway.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the U.S. city of San Francisco, California—the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula—to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. The bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco and California. It was initially designed by engineer Joseph Strauss in 1917. It has been declared one of the Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The Frommer's travel guide describes the Golden Gate Bridge as "possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world." At the time of its opening in 1937, it was both the longest and the tallest suspension bridge in the world, with a main span of 4,200 feet and a total height of 746 feet.

FORK’S Children Pantry Program to Expand to Conover and Sayner
Currently there are four Children’s Pantry locations — Eagle River, Land O’ Lakes and St. Germain elementary schools, plus a location within the Phelps School District building.
“FORK’s planned 2022 expansion of a Children’s Pantry into Sayner at the Plum Lake Public Library and into Conover at the town hall is an important next step for the program,” said Jean Arndt, Children’s Pantry committee chairperson.
Town leaders in both Sayner and Conover are enthusiastic about the program heading to their area.
“The availability of a Children’s Pantry at the library supports our view of the Plum Lake Library as a valuable resource within our community,” said Emilie Braunel, Plum Lake Public Library director.
“We are excited that FORK is placing a Children’s Pantry within the Conover Town Hall as a resource for the children of our community,” said Conover Town Clerk Kendra Lederer.
The opening dates for the Conover and Sayner Children’s Pantry locations in 2022 have yet to be set and specific opening date information will be released at a later date.
“The objective of the program is to bring nutritional support to food insecure children as close to where they live as possible. By positioning Children Pantries in these two public locations in Sayner and Conover, not only is their support more convenient, but the new locations also increase the number of hours a week that food support is available to local families,” added Arndt.
According to FORK President Perry Pokrandt, the basic concept of the Children’s Pantry program is “take what you need, give what you can.”
“We envision that each Children’s Pantry location will succeed as a partnership with the community it serves,” said Pokrandt. “To be successful, we invite individuals, businesses, and organizations to adopt their hometown’s Children’s Pantry. That is where the ‘give what you can’ comes in. You can adopt a pantry simply by dropping off kid-friendly food donations at the Children’s Pantry location in your area.”
Individuals can contribute financially to this effort by going online at feedourruralkids.org/childrens-pantry or mailing a contribution to: FORK Children’s Pantry, 4887 Echo Ridge Dr., Eagle River, WI 54521.
For more information on FORK’s Children’s Pantry as a food resource, contact email@example.com or call Jean Arndt at (309) 647-0474. For specific hours of the nearest Children’s Pantry location, call Northland Pines Elementary School resource Katie Stuckemeyer at (715) 479-8989, ext. 4528 or Phelps School District resource Jason Pertile at (715) 545-2724, ext. 115.

Scotland-based Weir Group PLC announced in mid-October that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Trio Engineered Products, a manufacturer of crushing and separation equipment for the mining and aggregates markets, for about $220 million.
Weir is a major global supplier of pumping equipment for mill circuits that separate rock from ore. The acquisition of Trio will build upon Weir’s recent entry into applications for other segments of mill processes. Trio is based in Shanghai, China, where it has two manufacturing plants, and also has facilities in the U.S. In 2013, 31% of its revenues were generated in North America, primarily in the growing aggregates sector; 25% were in China, mainly serving the domestic mining industry; the balance was broadly spread across Australia, South America, Africa and Europe. In 2014, Trio is expected to generate revenues of $120 million with operating profit margins broadly in-line with Weir’s Minerals division.
Weir will acquire 100% of Trio Engineered Products (Hong Kong) for $133 million with the balance of the consideration relating to the acquisition of 100% of Trio Engineered Products in the U.S.
Trio is being acquired from majority owner Navis Capital and the company’s management team.

Informal caregivers provide essential care and support to Veterans living with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and other co-morbid conditions. These military caregivers experience significant burden including strains on their physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. Many also gain new skills and sense of purpose. Military caregivers have insights into gaps in needed services and strategies to improve post-deployment care and community reintegration (CR) for Veterans and families. This symposium highlights methods and findings from studies that have engaged military caregivers in CR research, with a focus on sharing new measures, innovative approaches, and best practices for caregiver-engaged research.

Forty minutes’ drive north of the agricultural town of Louis Trichardt, through the Soutpansberg mountains and Limpopo bushveld, a small army of workers is extending a double-layered electric fence that stretches as far as the eye can see.
Investigative journalism takes time and money. Help us do more. Be an amaB Supporter.
Tight-lipped contractors come and go, leaving locals scratching their heads. Stories swirling around the area suggest the 12,000ha game farm beyond is being turned into an exclusive hunting resort — some say for a Saudi royal — on which large private jets will be able to land. One person claims workers use a tunnel to gain access to the complex without being seen.
Regardless of what may be wild rumour, one thing is clear: the enterprise, and especially its ownership, is shrouded in secrecy.
AmaBhungane’s investigation into this little-known game farm called Ekland — drawing on the leaked Panama and Paradise papers, among other sources — has led to a complex global network of middlemen, proxy directors and offshore companies that’s seemingly geared to shield the Saudi royal family’s immense wealth from public scrutiny.
It suggests Ekland is ultimately controlled by that country’s notorious crown prince and de facto ruler, Mohammed bin Salman. The Saudi Arabian embassy in Pretoria and Saudi foreign affairs ministry did not respond to requests for comment.
When amaBhungane visited Ekland in January, there was a frenzy of activity around the perimeter fence. But those working at the farm, including two young hunting specialists, were cagey about the owners and plans for the land.
A less guarded contractor separately said the farm — on which game lodges have operated for nearly two decades — was previously owned by a prominent Spaniard and had been sold about three years ago to “some Saudis”. Deeds records show Ekland consists of more than a dozen farms and farm portions acquired since 1999 by Manupont 124, a local shelf company registered that same year.
Locality Map of Ekland Safaris.
But who is behind Manupont?
Farm manager Graham Moon will say no more than that the shareholder is Willow Ltd, “a Cayman company that has been set up to hold investments globally”.
Records show Willow is indeed registered in the Cayman Islands — a known haven for corporate anonymity and tax avoidance. Moon will also not identify recent guests. “It is our policy to respect our guests’ right to privacy and as such we do not comment on any individuals who may have visited the property,” he says.
“This is standard practice in the global luxury industry.” Moon does, however, offer a press release, which paints Ekland as providing “a bespoke, sole-use, super luxury safari experience [for] discerning guests”.
It says: “The core ambitions of Ekland are … to provide the most secure sanctuary for Africa’s incredible wildlife … as well as to provide guests with an intimate experience in the African bush while allowing for complete privacy and confidentiality … it aims to become the preferred employer for the surrounding communities.”
The release notes that Ekland is under-going a significant upgrade to “deliver to the refined tastes of the luxury market”. It will, it says, expand to more than 20,000ha and create more than 200 permanent positions “through a significant investment programme on the property”.
A better sense of what is planned can be gleaned from the range of assessments required for such developments — heritage, paleontological and environmental impact assessments. These show that an area more than 3km long will be set aside for an airstrip — a size that aviation experts say is long enough to land large jet aircraft, including Boeing 747s. The plan includes 20 “executive villas” to accommodate visitors “upon invitation”.
It aims to provide “the ultimate bespoke safari experience” for high net worth clients, including tailored hunting experiences. Back to who owns Manupont: the company provided its share register after a tug of war that included applying under the Companies Act and the sheriff being sent to affix a notice to Ekland’s main gate.
- Click on the evidence docket to access the documents used to investigate this story.
What the register shows is that Manupont’s full ownership was transferred to Willow only on February 24 — about a month after amaBhungane began asking questions, and four days after the sheriff paid his visit.
Manupont’s previous owner was Eight Investment, a company with an address in the diplomatic quarter of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. That company has cropped up before, in a New York Times exposé based on the Panama and Paradise papers.
These two troves of leaked corporate records were obtained by the Süddeutsche Zeitung, which shared them with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, of which amaBhungane is a member.
The records have helped lift the shroud of secrecy over the inner workings of offshore law firms that take advantage of tax havens and jurisdictions with deliberately weak transparency laws to help corporations and high net worth clients avoid tax, conceal ownership structures and ensure financial transactions are kept discreet.
The Times story linked Prince Mohammed to the purchase of a $300-million French chateau — “the world’s most expensive home” — using Eight Investment and a layer of other offshore entities.
The paper quoted corporate records, saying Eight Investment was “owned by members of the Saudi royal family” and its “wealth is derived from the king and the state”. The same company was used in the purchase of the prince’s 134m luxury yacht, Serene, from Russian tycoon Yuri Shefler.
Prince Mohammed reportedly bought the yacht on the spot while vacationing in southern France — for a staggering €420m. The article refers to one Thamer Nassief as the manager of Eight Investment.
On career networking site LinkedIn, he lists his position as head of the crown prince’s private affairs.
He was also a director of Manupont from 2015 to February 2019 — roughly the same period t h at Eight Investment held Manupont, according to company records.
Another Manupont director, Hans Cauchi, was involved in renovating Prince Mohammed’s chateau.
Described as “a Maltese hospitality executive who caters to the superwealthy”, Cauchi joined Nassief as a director in Manupont on January 1 2016. Unlike Nassief, he remains a director, despite the transfer of ownership to Willow.
AmaBhungane attempted to reach Nassief through Ekland’s management and his previous employers, but received no response. Cauchi did not respond to messages sent via e-mail and his LinkedIn account, though Moon confirmed Cauchi had seen these.
As for Willow, amaBhungane was unable to confirm who the ultimate beneficial owner is, but there is evidence of continuity despite Manupont changing hands: Cauchi remains a director, Moon remains manager of the project, and the same development plans remain in place. In February, Nassief was replaced as Manupont director by Saudi national Yazeed Mohammed Alsaeed.
AmaBhungane was unable to verify his identity, but there is a Yazeed Alsaeed on LinkedIn whose profile says he has worked as a legal adviser to Saudi government entities and a private equity firm.
It may well be that the transfer of Manupont to Willow in February aimed to restore ownership secrecy, which was compromised when Eight Investment’s link to the Saudi royal family was made known, and that Prince Mohammed remains the ultimate owner.
An offshore empire Evidence from the Panama Papers reveals a web of overlapping connections between Manupont directors and the Saudi royal family going back to 1999, when Ekland was established.
The identity of the Spanish person who supposedly owned Ekland through Manupont before Prince Mohammed’s Eight Investment took it over would seem to firm up that royal connection. About 10 years after Ekland was established the lodge was charging visitors $950 a night.
A travel journalist, “awestruck by the grandeur” of the “colonial-style resort”, would write a glowing review of Ekland and its “baobab trees silhouetted against a sky painted in pastel shades of pink and purple”.
That same article referred to Ekland’s owner as “a Spanish hunter and chief executive of an international interior design company”. Neither Ekland manager Moon nor his predecessor, Wulf Schwerdtfeger, would say who the “Spanish hunter” was.
However, it appears to have been Mohamed Eyad Kayali, a wealthy Spanish-Syrian businessman with strong Saudi ties. Kayali’s architecture and interior design company, Euroamykasa, is housed in a moneyed Madrid neighbourhood. It specialises in “technical services of luxury architecture, decorating mansions and chalets” for “Arab sheikhs and businessmen”.
It was Euroamykasa that held Manupont’s shares before they passed to Eight Investment in October 2015, the Manupont share register shows. And company records show that Kayali and his son Yawan, the chief executive of Euroamykasa, were directors of Manupont until 2015, when Nassief took over, later joined by Cauchi.
AmaBhungane sent questions to Kayali through his company, but received no response despite repeated attempts to follow up.
Kayali appears to prefer a relatively low profile as a behind-the-scenes fixer and consultant for both Spanish and Saudi royals, but his name and face were splashed across the Spanish press in 2012, when stories emerged of a controversial hunting excursion to Botswana by Spanish king Juan Carlos.
Media reports said the king had been the guest of Kayali, described as a “close” and “intimate” friend of the king’s, and as part of the inner circle of the Saudi royal family. The Panama Papers show that Kayali was appointed director, or given power of attorney, in a basket of companies registered in Panama and the British Virgin Islands, and linked to the Saudi royal family’s sprawling business empire.
Two of his Euroamykasa colleagues were also given power of attorney in some of the companies. These companies were mainly used to house assets — properties in Spain and London, a luxury yacht — on behalf of prominent Saudi royals.
(Graphic: Financial Mail)
Among the companies for which Kayali was given power of attorney is Almack Properties, registered in Panama. The share register provided to amaBhungane claims Euroamykasa owned Manupont from its registration and Ekland’s establishment in 1999, to the transfer to Eight Investments in 2015. In contrast, the Panama papers show Almack owned Manupont, with Euroamykasa taking it over in 2001, for $2-million.
But who owned Almack?
In 1999, Almack issued four shares with a nominal value of $100 each. The shareholders were anonymous because the shares were issued as bearer shares, which confer ownership on whoever holds the physical copy of the share. Because of their potential use in money laundering and tax evasion, bearer shares are treated with suspicion globally.
In the case of Almack, they obscured the identity of the ultimate beneficial owner. But there are business relationships and ownership structures that firm up the link between Kayali, Almack and Saudi royals.
Correspondence in the Panama Papers shows Almack to have been incorporated alongside another company, Verse Development, for a single UK-based corporate services provider.
Verse — for which Kayali was given power of attorney, like Almack — can in turn be directly linked to the Saudi stable of companies and to Salman bin Abdulaziz —the Saudi king himself.
The leaked records show that in 2009, Safason, a Luxembourg-based company linked to King Salman — then a prince — began exploring options to obtain loans of several million pounds.
Two subsidiary companies put forward London properties they owned as collateral. These were Verse and Inrow Corp — both companies in which Kayali had been given power of attorney. Some years prior to the loan arrangements, Verse bearer shares had been transferred to Safason from another Luxembourg company owned by Saudi royals —Shaf Corp.
And two other Kayali-linked companies —Nibal Management and Potter Corp — which appear to have housed Spanish property assets, both had a common shareholder in Shaf. Kayali was made a director of Shaf in 2009, alongside two of King Salman’s sons.
There’s another company linked to both Safason and Kayali: Crassus Ltd, for which Kayali was given power of attorney in the mid-2000s and Safason is a shareholder. It’s registered in the British Virgin Islands and is t he owner of M/Y Erga — a motor yacht whose principal user at the time was Salman bin Abdulaziz.
It remains unclear why Ekland was passed from Almack, which appears to have been managed by Kayali on behalf of Saudi royals, to Kayali’s own company, Euroamykasa, and back to the Saudis via Eight Investment.
Planes, boats and guns
Members of the Saudi royal family are known to have a fondness for colonial-style big-game hunting adventures.
An article in The Guardian newspaper is scathing about what is a commonplace ritual in East Africa: “They shoot desert species of gazelle, oryx and Nubian ibex, and take them home as trophies. There are reports that sometimes they don’t even bother to fly through Khartoum airport, choosing instead to construct makeshift landing strips in the middle of the wilderness that are dismantled after they depart, sometimes apparently in massive military C-130 planes.”
Similar scenes of absurdly lavish Saudi hunting expeditions have played out in SA, causing a public stir on more than one occasion. In 2016, local media reported on four Saudi aircraft, “including a cargo plane with a fleet of vehicles”, landing at Polokwane airport.
An unnamed Saudi prince was said to be among the 106 passengers. One article alleged that the Saudis came with a cache of “suspicious firearms” that had not been registered with SA police.
Plane-spotters’ photos show two of the jets on the tarmac of Polokwane International: one of them a Saudi C-130 Hercules transporter, the other a Boeing with tail number HZ-HM1A.
Saudi Boeing 747-3G1 HZ-HM1A at Polokwane International Airport, 22 Feb. 2016.
The Boeing, part of the Saudi royal fleet, is used regularly by the king and senior royals, including Prince Mohammed.
Almost 10 years before that incident, in 2007, one of the royal family’s 747s touched down at Polokwane International en route to a hunting trip in the Pilanesberg, about three hours’ drive from Joburg .
During that incident, the SA captain nearly landed himself in hot water with the Civil Aviation Authority, which stopped the aircraft from taking off, citing safety concerns. It said Pilanesberg’s airfield was not designed for large aircraft.
The incident lit up online aviation forums such as Avcom — a sort of Reddit website on which aviator aficionados and plane-spotters share a mix of laddish banter about “hot” air hostesses and nerdy technical chatter about WAT (weight, altitude, and temperature) limits and PCNs (pavement classification numbers).
As the dust from the controversy began to settle, the pilot himself seemed to chip in, offering a detailed account of his tussle with “bureaucracy and the high-vis [high-visibility] jacket brigade”.
Saudi C-130 Hercules at Polokwane International Airport, 22 Feb. 2016.
Writing under a pseudonym, he claimed a 747 could safely have made the landing, but his VIP guests instead had to put up with the inconvenience of a “long drive” and a chartered DC-9. The pilot also tackled allegations of unlicensed firearms: “Twaddle. There were at least 15 boys in blue to meet us; they verified the rifles’ serial numbers with the list with which they’d been provided earlier.”
According to online flight records, the Boeing held up in Polokwane is registered to Kingdom Holding Company and is for the personal use of its founder and owner, Alwaleed bin Talal, a prominent Saudi prince and Forbes-list billionaire.
Prince Alwaleed, a cousin of Prince Mohammed , is known as an “absurdly rich” oddball investor who keeps a medieval troupe of dwarfs for his own entertainment and has a penchant for glitzy planes, boats and cars.
Dubbed Saudi’s Warren Buffett, the prince reportedly owns a Hawker jet, an Airbus A321 and a luxury yacht that was previously owned by US President Donald Trump and, before him, billionaire Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, uncle of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Prince Alwaleed was the most prominent Saudi caught up in an ostensible crackdown on corruption orchestrated by Prince Mohammed, in which hundreds of prominent officials, businessmen and royals were detained at a luxurious Riyadh hotel.
The move has widely been interpreted as an attempt to centralise power and shake down the Saudi elite to plug holes in the country’s oil-dependent budget. In Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s last remaining absolute monarchies, power is exercised whimsically and the state is treated as the family business.
But the rise of Prince Mohammed — the real power behind his ailing father’s throne, after he deposed the king’s nephew as heir apparent — was welcomed uncritically by many in the West. They saw in him an eager reformer who would temper the worst excesses of the Saudi establishment.
Prominent columnist Thomas Friedman wrote fawningly in a New York Times op-ed: “Now they have a young leader who is driving religious and economic reform, who talks the language of hi-tech, and whose biggest sin may be that he wants to go too fast.”
Fast indeed — his de facto reign has been defined by one episode of high drama after another.
Evidence reportedly points to him having ordered the assassination of journalist Khashoggi, while his regime’s ostensible kidnapping of Lebanese prime minister Saad al-Hariri was denounced as a thuggish and bizarre departure from diplomatic norms.

The crown prince’s hawkish foreign policy informed a Saudi-led blockade of regional rival Qatar and a protracted offensive against Houthi rebels in Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition has been bogged down since 2015.
As palace intrigue and Saudi regional aggression continue to play out in foreign media reports, ordinary Saudis have faced belt-tightening measures imposed on them as the country tries to claw its way out of it s 2017 recession.
Saudi royals, meanwhile, continue to live lives of conspicuous consumption, setting up playgrounds, such as Ekland in SA. It’s little wonder, then, that Prince Mohammed would want to keep his epic spending sprees out of sight.

Ninja struggles to keep up with pro Fortnite players on Twitch
Fortnite streamer Tyler "Ninja" Blevins proved his popularity when he played last week's most-watched game of Fortnite with the help of YouTuber Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg.
But last week's Friday Fortnite match was actually down in Twitch viewership compared to the previous week. In fact, the eight-hour stream with PewDiePie got Ninja his highest viewing numbers of the year.
Even more interesting, Esports Observer noticed that once PewDiePie left Ninja's stream, the remaining six hours of the stream got Ninja only 777,000 hours watched. This may sound like a lot, but it was lower than his previous streams. The 236K concurent views, or CCV, that Ninja obtained during Friday Fortnite was also not the highest for Fortnite that month. Turner "Tfue" Tenney had a peak of 300,000 CCV last Sunday during his World Cup qualifying stream.
Fortnite World Cup Qualifiers on Twitch
This raises the question: Are Fortnite fans starting to graviate more towards competitive Fortnite when picking which streams to watch?
Throughout the World Cup qualifying weekends, Ninja hasn't managed to place high enough to snag a spot in the World Cup Finals. In fact, most weeks he hasn't even gotten close. Throughout, the Twitch star has managed to eliminate big names only to see himself knocked out, and has watched his duos partner qualify without him.
Meanwhile, Tfue qualified for the World Cup two weeks into the qualifiers and has been getting more and more views on Twitch. His World Cup qualifier streams have been breaking Fortnite records on the streaming platform.
According to Esports Observer, Tfue recorded 514,000 hours watched on Saturday and 623,000 on Sunday. Last Sunday, Tfue had his best-ever CCV average, 187,000, and a whopping 853,000 hours watched.
While many esports insiders wonder if not having big stars like Ninja will harm the viewership total of the Fortnite World Cup, others are starting to speculate that not qualifying for the World Cup is actually impacting Ninja's viewers, rather than the other way around.
As more young players strive to up their game and compete themselves, more competitive players might be starting to take over the Fortnite streaming community.

Tvm: Akshaya eKendras across the state will embark on a massive enrolment of APL families for the Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme (CHIS) from August 5 to 9, 2010. The enrolment facility will be available at over 2000 Akshaya centres across Kerala. This exercise is part of the Kerala Government’s initiative to widen the Union Government’s health insurance scheme, Rashtriya Swastya Bima Yojana (RSBY) to Above Poverty Line (APL) families as well.
The new scheme named RSBY – Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme (CHIS) is the flagship scheme of Comprehensive Health Insurance Agency of Kerala (CHIAK), the nodal agency of Government of Kerala. The RSBY-CHIS aims to cover 35 lakh BPL families in the unorganised sector in three phases. The third phase is under preparation which will include the families left out in first and second phases. The Government aims to carry forward this momentum through CHIS.
Talking to Kerala IT News, an Akshaya District Coordination said, “We crossed 1,000 registrations within one hour of opening. Akshaya entrepreneurs are prepared for this massive exercise”. This is yet another effort of Akshaya to bring the services of the Government to the citizens. A family can register for the scheme in the nearest Akshaya centre across Kerala. On an average, there are two Akshaya Kendras in each panchayat.
Families can enrol by paying Rs.494 which includes the premium of Rs.464 and a registration fee of Rs.30. After collecting the photo and the finger print of each family member, a smart card will be provided. The head of the family or any responsible member can enrol in this scheme by providing the description of family, house, etc.

Are you looking for ways to ‘go natural’ for your home cleaning needs, but don’t know where to start? In this article, we’ll look at why switching to natural cleaning products is a smart move and how you can make the switch today. We’ll also bust some of the common myths around natural cleaning products – you may be surprised at how effective and convenient they can be!
Making the switch to natural cleaning products is not only beneficial for your health, but for the environment as well. Many of today’s traditional cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can be harmful to both you and the environment. Natural cleaning products are hypoallergenic and use natural ingredients such as essential oils, baking soda, and vinegar which are safe for your family, pets, and your pollution-free home.
Switching to natural cleaning products also saves money in the long run since many of these products can be used over multiple times. Plus, with a few simple recipes for making your own cleaners, you can avoid buying expensive commercial cleaners altogether!
For some people it can seem overwhelming to completely switch to using all-natural cleaning products overnight – so don’t stress! Start small by replacing one or two of your most commonly used household cleaners. Try swapping out your glass cleaner or dish soap with a natural version. This is an easy way to get started without having to pay out a lot upfront – plus you get to learn what works best for you and your family before committing fully.
There are plenty of advantages to switching over to natural cleaning products – all while being good to yourself and the planet! Now that we’ve discussed
What are Natural Cleaning Products?
If you’re considering making the switch to natural cleaning products, you’re not alone. In recent years, there has been a growing trend of people swapping out their traditional cleaning products for more natural alternatives. And for good reason! Natural cleaning products offer a number of benefits over their synthetic counterparts. Here are just a few reasons why you should switch to natural cleaning products:
They’re better for your health: Traditional cleaning products are loaded with toxic chemicals that can be harmful to your health. Studies have linked exposure to these chemicals to a variety of health problems, including respiratory issues, skin irritation, and even cancer. On the other hand, natural cleaning products are made with safe, non-toxic ingredients that won’t put your health at risk.
They’re better for the environment: Most traditional cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that can pollute our waterways and soil. Natural cleaning products, on the other hand, are biodegradable and much less likely to harm the environment.
They’re just as effective: You might be surprised to learn that natural cleaning products can be just as effective as traditional ones. In many cases, they work even better! For example, vinegar is a great natural alternative to chemical-laden all-purpose cleaners.
Making the switch to natural cleaning products is a great way to improve your health and protect the environment. Not sure where to start? Check out our guide on how to
Benefits of natural cleaning products
When it comes to cleaning our homes, we all want products that will get the job done quickly and effectively. However, we also want to be aware of the impact our cleaning choices have on our health and the environment. Traditional cleaning products are often filled with harsh chemicals that can be harmful to our health if inhaled or ingested. They can also be damaging to the environment if they are not disposed of properly.
Natural cleaning products offer a safer and more eco-friendly alternative to traditional cleaning products. They are made with ingredients that are less likely to cause harm to your health or the environment. Many natural cleaners also work just as well as their traditional counterparts, so you don’t have to sacrifice effectiveness for safety.
There are many reasons to switch to natural cleaning products. Here are just a few:
They’re better for your health: Natural cleaners are free of harmful chemicals that can cause respiratory problems, skin irritation, and other health concerns.
They’re eco-friendly: Natural cleaners are made with ingredients that are less likely to damage the environment. Many of them are also biodegradable, so they won’t pollute waterways or contribute to landfill build-up.
They’re gentle on surfaces: Natural cleaners won’t strip away the finish on your countertops or floors like some harsh chemicals can.
How to switch to Natural Cleaning Products
If you’re interested in making the switch to natural cleaning products but don’t know where to start, this guide is for you. Below we’ll outline some of the main benefits of using natural cleaning products and give you some tips on how to make the transition.
Benefits of Natural Cleaning Products
There are many reasons why you might want to switch to natural cleaning products. They are often more effective than conventional cleaners, they are better for your health and the environment, and they can save you money in the long run. Here are some of the main benefits of using natural cleaning products:
1. They are better for your health: Most conventional cleaners contain harmful chemicals that can be absorbed through your skin or breathed in, leading to health problems over time. Natural cleaners, on the other hand, are made from ingredients that are non-toxic and safe for human exposure.
2. They are better for the environment: Many conventional cleaners contain ingredients that can pollute waterways and harm wildlife. Natural cleaners are made from biodegradable ingredients that have minimal impact on the environment.
3. They can save you money: Because natural cleaners are so effective, you often need to use less of them to get the same results as you would with a conventional cleaner. This means that they cost less per use, saving you money over time.
Common myths and misconceptions about natural cleaning products
It seems like everywhere you look these days, people are talking about making the switch to “natural” cleaning products. But what does that mean, exactly? What are the benefits of using natural cleaning products, and how can you make the switch? Here, we’ll dispel some common myths and misconceptions about natural cleaning products so that you can make an informed decision about what’s best for your home and family.
Myth #1: Natural cleaning products aren’t as effective as conventional cleaners.
This couldn’t be further from the truth! In many cases, natural cleaners are just as effective as their chemical-laden counterparts – if not more so. For example, vinegar is a powerful disinfectant that can be used to clean everything from countertops to toilets. And baking soda is a gentle yet effective abrasive that can be used to clean everything from stovetops to carpets.
Myth #2: Natural cleaning products are more expensive than conventional cleaners.
While it’s true that some natural cleaning products (like essential oils) can be pricier upfront, they often last much longer than conventional cleaners. Plus, many natural ingredients – like vinegar and baking soda – are very inexpensive. When you compare the price per use of natural vs. conventional cleaners, natural cleaners are often less expensive in the long run.
Myth #3: Making your own natural cleaning products is too time-consuming.
Alternatives to toxic chemical cleaners
There are many alternatives to using harsh, toxic chemicals to clean your home. Many natural substances can be just as effective as traditional cleaners, without harmful side effects. Some great alternative cleaning products include:
Vinegar: Vinegar is a natural acid that can cut through tough grime and dirt. It is also very inexpensive and easy to find. When diluted with water, it makes a great all-purpose cleaner for surfaces like countertops and floors.
Baking soda: Baking soda is another great natural cleaning product. It can be used to scrub away tough stains, or mixed with water to make a gentle cleaner for delicate surfaces.
Lemon juice: Lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent, making it great for removing tough stains. It can also be used to clean and disinfect surfaces.
Castile soap: Castile soap is a natural, plant-based soap that can be used for cleaning tasks like dishes, laundry, and even mopping floors.
DIY recipes and tips for homemade cleaners
Looking to switch to natural cleaning products, but not sure where to start? Check out our DIY recipes and tips for homemade cleaners! These recipes are simple to make, use ingredients that you probably already have around the house, and are just as effective (if not more!) than their store-bought counterparts.
Plus, making your own cleaners is a great way to save money – you can cut down on your cleaning budget by using these recipes instead of buying expensive commercial cleaners. So what are you waiting for? Give DIY natural cleaning a try today!

Research Paper Web Link / URL:
An outbreak of digital dermatitis in a dairy herd in the Gauteng province of South Africa is described in which 72% of the lactating herd was affected. Many of the affected cows showed a severe lameness and a drop in milk production. Other complications included heel horn erosion, under-running of heel horn and boxy claws. The diagnosis was made on the typical clinical appearance of the condition and the presence of spirochaetes on histopathological sections from biopsy material. The condition responded to spraying affected feet with an oxytetracycline mixture after cleaning with water using a high pressure hose. The prevalence was reduced to 28% after one month of therapy. A repeat outbreak occurred on the same farm 7 months later during which time 37% of the lactating herd was affected. Of the cows affected, 48% represented new cases, whereas the rest were reinfections

Food allergies are a growing problem around the world . These days, if you do not personally suffer from an allergy, you almost certainly know someone who does. Currently, around 3-7% of children have a food allergy—about a 50% increase since 1997 [1, 2]. For many people, allergies are little more than a nuisance, but for others, an allergic reaction can be life threatening.
What is a Food Allergy?
The term “allergy” is often used fairly loosely to describe any adverse reaction to a food. A true allergy, however, is unique in that it is caused by the immune system reacting to a specific protein – an allergen – as if that protein were a threat to the body. Food intolerances are often confused with food allergies, since many of the symptoms of a food intolerance are similar to those caused by an allergic reaction. However, a food intolerance usually results from the inability to digest certain substances due to enzyme defects , not an immune reaction. For instance, lactose intolerance results when an individual does not have sufficient levels of lactase. Lactase is an enzyme required for the digestion of lactose, a sugar found in milk products . In the case of lactose intolerance, the symptoms may be similar to those of a milk allergy, but the immune system is not involved.
What Causes an Allergic Reaction?
If you suffer from an allergy, you can blame it on two main culprits: mast cells, which are cells located throughout the body that are involved in normal immune responses , and a special type of antibody, called IgE. Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins produced by cells in the immune system that recognize proteins on pathogens or other harmful foreign substances invading the body in order to disarm them or target them for destruction by other components of the immune system . The antibody recognizes a certain protein or part of a protein on the foreign object and attaches to the object. IgE antibodies are one of five types of antibodies, all of which have different roles in immune response. The main function of IgE antibodies appears to be to defend the body against parasites, such as the parasite that causes malaria .
No one has a reaction the first time they encounter an allergen. Instead, when a person first meets an allergen, the body makes lots of IgE antibodies that recognize a protein on the allergen . Then the “stem” side of the newly made Y-shaped antibodies attaches to a mast cell. The next time the person comes in contact with the same allergen, these IgE proteins immediately recognize it and signal to the mast cells to release several chemicals, histamine in particular, that are involved in the inflammatory response . These chemicals increase blood flow, allow the spaces between cells to fill with fluid, and cause local nerve endings to signal pain . When the immune system is responding to a pathogen, increased blood flow is critical for allowing white blood cells in and out of the site of infection, and fluid secretion is important for ridding the body of the intruder. This is great when your body is really under attack by a parasite, bacteria or a virus. However, the release of these chemicals in response to a harmless substance results in the host of symptoms we see during an allergic reaction, such as swelling, itching, coughing/sneezing, rash, runny nose, diarrhea and vomiting  (see figure).
What Treatments Are Available For Allergies?
There is no cure for allergies, although immunotherapy, which involves gradually exposing people with an allergy to increasing quantities of the allergen, may be effective at decreasing patient sensitivity to the allergen . However, most often, people use other allergy treatments. Anti-histamines, such as Claritin, Allegra, and Benadryl are often taken to block histamine, thus lessening the symptoms that arise from the release of histamine . Those with serious allergies often carry an EpiPen . The “Epi” stands for epinephrine, which is better known as adrenaline. Epinephrine is released naturally by your body when you sense danger, but it can help during an allergic reaction by constricting blood vessels to clear airway obstruction and decreasing the release of inflammatory chemicals like histamine .
What Makes an Allergen an Allergen?
All proteins have the potential to be allergens, but in reality, only a small percentage of proteins cause allergic reactions. In fact, up to 90% of allergic reactions to food are caused by proteins in only eight foods: milk, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, soy, wheat, fish, and eggs. Unfortunately, scientists don’t know why some proteins are more likely to cause an allergic reaction . Even when researchers looked at the structures of common allergenic proteins, they weren’t able to find any similarities . One possibility is that allergenic proteins may be more likely to form clusters of two or more of the same protein, and it is this aggregation that tells the body to attack . On the other hand, researchers do know that many allergenic foods contain more than one allergenic protein. For instance, soy actually contains 15 allergenic proteins, which may help explain why soy is a very commonly identified allergen .
The question of what makes a protein allergenic is just one of many that researchers are investigating. Researchers are also trying to determine why some people differ in their susceptibility to allergies and why allergic reactions vary in their severity. Scientists do know that allergies are often passed down from your parents. Additionally, if a person is exposed more frequently to an allergen, the reaction tends to be less severe . Scientists also have a few ideas as to why allergy cases are rising, but much research remains to be done to answer this question. The ability to predict what proteins will be allergenic and who might be most susceptible would be especially useful in drug development and the creation of genetically modified foods. More critically, understanding why allergy rates are increasing might allow us to make adjustments in our lifestyles in order to prevent the development of allergies in future generations.
