Simmons gets key endorsements
By ANGELA WRIGHT
Chronicle Managing Editor
Ann Simmons (center) is joined by supporters: from left, Logan Burke, Vivian Burke,
Larry Womble and Pat Hairston (photo by Angela Wright).
Ann Simmons, Democrat candi
date for Forsyth County Commission,
picked up four key endorsements Satur
day at a fund-raiser held in her behalf.
Aldermen Vivian Burke, Larry
Womble and Patrick Hairston joined
with state legislator Logan Burke in
endorsing Simmons' candidacy.
'We want everyone to think of Ann
Simmons as a person who is qualified
and capable of holding the position she
seeks," said Alderman Burke, who
delivered opening remarks to the crowd
gathered at Shiloh Baptist Church.
After Burke's remarks, Womble
spoke to the group. He likened the need
for the Afro-American community to
support Simmons' candidacy to the
national movement in support of presi
dential candidate Jesse Jackson.
"It's a poor testament for us if we
can look out for Jesse Jackson and not
look out for our own here in Forsyth
County," he said. "We can't afford to
give lukewarm support We need peo
ple out front saying I am for Ann Sim
Womble said he supported Sim
mons be''ause he knows "the kind of
person she is."
"She has been involved and
involved extensively," he said. "Ann is
the type of person that has never said
'no' whenever there is some cause or
issue to benefit the community."
Simmons, currently a Wachovia
Bank service representative, has been a
member of the Winston-Salem Human
Relations Commission, the 3rd Vice
Chair of the Mt. Sinai Precinct and
chairman of the Neighborhood Com
munity Watch. She served on the Coli
seum Fact Finding Committee, the Cit
izens for a New Coliseum Committee
and the Shaping Our Future Bond Ref
"She's sincere, she's dedicated and
she's a hard worker," said Womble.
"That's enough for me."

Americans seeking a seat on the Coun
ty Commission. The other candidate is

Martin to ban sale
of rebel flag tags
By KENNETH RAYMOND
Chroriide Staff Writer
Gov. James G. Martin said
Monday that he would order all
state and privately contracted
license plate agencies that sell the
Confederate flag vanity plates to
terminate sales immediately. Mar
tin made the commitment during
an open forum at Carl Russell
Recreation Center last Monday.
The meeting was the last event
on Martin’s "Capitol for a Day"
agenda. He said that he would
order the end of the sales after
Leon D. Kay, a local East Winston
resident, expressed concern about
the recent violence in high schools
because of the flags being dis
played. Martin agreed that selling
the plates helped increase racial
tension and also demonstrated "bad
"The Confederate flag symbol
has been causing some problems,"
he said. "The sales of the plates
will be discontinued immediately."
There are 126 privately con
tracted offices in North Carolina
and two state-owned agencies. The
contract offices fall under the juris
diction of the Division of Motor
\fchicles, which is also a part of
one of the governor's cabinet
James Rhodes, director of the
state license division, said he
believes that the choice is in the
hands of the contract agents.
"I think the decision is in the
hands of the people who run the
place," he said. "But the situation
surrounding the Confederate flag
symbol has become very sensitive
and whatever the governor says is
w h a i
n 0 r ' s
think it's a good decision," said
Freddie Willis, who is white and
the manager of the License Plate
Agency at Parkway Plaza. "Some
tension might decrease and there's
no sense in selling something that's
offensive to people anyway."
Glenda Williams, a title clerk
at the agency in Rural Hall, said
that the decision would not make
any difference to them.
"We slopped selling those
plates a while ago," she said.

Gerald Long said Monday that if

oppose the recent proposal to relocate
the county's health center from its cur

the issue to be a racial one, noting that

Rather, he said it was an issue of access
for the people most in need of the
health center's services.
In speaking of his support for
minority-owned businesses, Long said
that he had been a strong supporter at
R. J. Reynolds over the last five years
and that the number of minorities doing
business with R.J. Reynolds had
increased by five percent.
He cautioned that in order to gel a
reasonable assessment of what more
can be done to aid minority businesses,
"we must first find out what the facts
are in terms of who's doing what."
Long said that the issue of minori

In the last ten years there has been an explosion of material about Flat Earth on the web. Flat Earth is easy to disprove. The curvature of the Earth has been obvious to sailors for thousands of years. The Greek Eratosthenes made a remarkably accurate estimate of the diameter of the spherical Earth two hundred years before Christ. And if you are in any doubt, look at a view of the Southern Hemisphere on Google Earth, and try booking some Southern Hemisphere flights. You will soon see that flight times do not permit flying right across the Northern continents, which a Flat Earth would require!
So why the upsurge in Flat Earth interest? It certainly has nothing to do with an increase in evidence for it. A possible reason is that there is more evidence for Geocentrism on the web than ever before, and people are coming to recognise its strength. For many, this is anathema. Yet the Geocentric or “Favoured Position” evidence is extremely hard to refute. Creating confusion between Flat Earth and Geocentrism is a relatively easy way to discredit the latter. (Flat Earthers, if they even exist apart from internet trolls, also promote Geocentrism.)

Gifts for Mechanical Engineers
Finding the perfect gift for the mechanical engineer in your life isn’t that easy. Your first thought might be to buy them a book on engineering but chances are, if they’re already working in the field, they either already have it or they’ve read it. Besides, books aren’t fun. But with a little thought and creativity, you can find the perfect gift for that special mechanical engineer in your life. Buying a gift for a mechanical engineer is the same as buying a gift for anyone. You want to buy something fun, cool, and incredibly useful. And for someone who loves to laugh, there are a number of terrific funny gifts available that are perfect for mechanical engineers (click this link to find them now).
Luckily, there’s a wide variety of options out there that are sure to bring a smile to any mechanical engineer’s face.If you’re looking for gifts that are incredibly useful, you can’t go wrong with a digital measuring tool. Mechanical engineers are constantly required to take quick, accurate measurements so why not buy them a Vernier caliper. A digital Vernier caliper is an easy-to-use tool that is used to take accurate unaided measurements and is guaranteed to receive daily use.
And if the mechanical engineer you’re shopping for already has a Vernier caliper, then a micrometer is another useful gift. These tools use a small screw to measure distances that are too small to measure regularly, making them an essential addition to an engineer’s arsenal. For another gift that is guaranteed to be used daily, you can’t go wrong with drafting supplies.
While pencils and paper might seem boring to some, a mechanical engineer uses these items every day so they’re guaranteed to appreciate the usefulness and thoughtfulness of your gift. Put together a gift package with a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil, the standard size used for most engineering drawings, along with A3 papers, a T-scale, divider, and French curve so that they have everything they need to perform manual drafting work.
Gifts for Civil Engineers
If you have a family member or friend who is a civil engineer then you know that they are another group of people who are incredibly tough to buy for. But by appealing to their passion for taking apart and fixing things, you can easily find a terrific gift that they’ll love.
If your civil engineer loves tinkering with things, then you can’t go wrong with the Bondic Plastic Welder. This tiny tool is capable of fixing almost anything in seconds including wood, metal, and plastic and best of all, it eliminates the need for glue. The Bondic Plastic Welder is clean, heat-resistant, and waterproof, making it perfect for almost any application and is one of the best 3D tools on the market.
And for another useful item, a digital tape measure is a can’t-miss gift. Tools like the E-Tape Digital Tape Measure offer weather-resistant, stylish design and are capable of taking measurements in either US units or the metric system. The large digital display makes finding an accurate measurement easy and its battery is capable of working for up to 64 continuous hours, meaning that it’s a perfect, hassle-free way of taking measurements.
If you are looking to add some comfort to your civil engineer’s life, a hand warmer is one of the best gifts out there. Civil engineers can spend hours outside and, while this might be okay in the warmer months, it can be brutal during the winter. There are several great products out there including the Zippo Hand Warmer. This high quality item was designed to offer up to 12 hours of warmth and with 10 color options, you can pick the style that is perfect for your friend or loved one.
Gifts for Structural Engineers
Structural engineers are another notoriously difficult group of people to buy gifts for but by appealing to their curiosity of how things work, you can find a gift that they’ll truly appreciate. While we said that books can be boring and many are obsolete thanks to the countless computer programs out there now, a classic book can provide insights into how things were done a generation or two ago while also coming in handy for a variety of projects.
Some of the best classic engineering books can easily be found on Amazon. The International Textbook Company has a series of design manuals that were copyrighted in the early part of the 1900s, covering topics like concrete construction, municipal sanitation, structural design, masonry, and more, and are bound to fascinate any structural engineer. Or look for the Steel Construction Manuals published by AISC, that are perfect for engineers because, while they are classics, still provide concepts that are still useful today.
If you want to get something that is a bit more fun and modern, an aerial drone or quadcopter is a perfect gift for a structural engineer. These cutting edge devices aren’t only fun to use but will be infinitely useful when your structural engineer wants to get a quick aerial view of a structure, plot of land, or work site.
Gifts for Aerospace Engineers
If you have a friend or family member who is an aerospace engineer, there are a number of great options out there that would make wonderful gifts. With a fascination for aeronautics and design, appeal to your loved one’s interest a fantastic space-related game or a cutting edge 3D printer.
If your friend or family member is also an avid PC gamer, the Kerbal Space Program is a fun game that allows them to run their own space program. This game allows players to construct space shuttles out of anything parts they want and its real-life, physics-based flight simulator ensures that their ship will fly or crash just like it would in real life. With a selection of mods available, players can add new features to the game ensuring that they’ll be building rocket ships capable of exploring distant worlds for countless hours.
If the aerospace engineer you are shopping for is interested in making their own models, or prototypes, a terrific high-end gift is a 3D printer. These devices can range from $300 to over $1000, but a solid model that is capable of transforming ideas into reality, at a fair price, is the New Matter MOD-t-3D Printer. For under $400, this is a great gift for a loved one and is an affordable entry-level model perfect for hobbyists interested in learning about 3D printing.
Funny Gifts for Mechanical Engineers
Just because your friend or loved one is an engineer, doesn’t mean that they don’t have a great sense of humor.

Approaching gas phase electrodeposition: process and optimization to enable the self-aligned growth of 3D nanobridge-based interconnects
A nanowire bonding process referred to as gas‐phase electrodeposition is reported to form nanobridge‐based interconnects. The process is able to grow free‐standing point‐to‐point electrical connections using metallic wires. As a demonstration, programmable interconnects and an interdigitated electrode array are shown. The process is more material efficient when compared with conventional vapor deposition since the material is directed to the point of use.

In Calicchia’s debut YA fantasy novel, two sisters fight to destroy a powerful dark angel with the ability to taint humans’ views of themselves.
Despite her spirited disposition and kung fu know-how, 17-year-old Cailyssa Larkin doesn’t like the person she sees in the mirror—and she’s destroyed several mirrors because of it. She has three good friends and a plucky younger sister, Terry, who all attend the same high school she does, but otherwise, Cailyssa is an outsider there. One day, while she and her friends are at the mall, Cailyssa spots Daemon, her sullen, gothic heartthrob, sitting alone at a food-court table. Daemon invites her to meet him later at her peculiar Uncle Spencer’s mirror-filled house, a location forbidden by her parents. She manages to leave home that evening on the pretext of going to the mall, but her parents force her to bring Terry along. When the sisters arrive at the house, they find Daemon curiously dressed in medieval garb. In the largest of the mirrors, Uncle Spencer unveils a terrifying vision to Cailyssa: an apocalyptic near-future world ruled by hatred and self-loathing. Using the same mirror as a portal, Cailyssa enters Mirror World, a Tolkien-esque realm under the pall of fallen angel Lord Speculus, who can influence what people see when they look at themselves in mirrors. After an attack from the dark lord, Cailyssa convenes with Terry, Daemon, and Uncle Spencer at the Larkin family castle, where she discovers supernatural abilities and a surprising family history. In the safety of the castle, she begins to plot a strategy to destroy Speculus and keep him from spreading his terror to Earth. Cailyssa’s spunky narration is winning enough to freshen up this novel’s familiar fantasy and YA genre trappings despite its occasional shifts from first- to third-person. The final battle’s sustained, palpable peril also staves off predictability. However, Daemon fares poorly as a love interest due in part to his clunky, chauvinistic, antiquated-sounding diction (“I was angry because I was disgusted with your behavior. You were acting like a traipse!”). His depiction appropriates some of the eerier aspects of Twilight’s Edward Cullen—Daemon watches Cailyssa while she sleeps, for example—which may make it hard for some readers to root for the inevitable romance.
Despite its heavy-handed titular metaphor, this novel succeeds in injecting fun and adventure into the psychology of self-perception.

Review: The 1.4-litre petrol-powered Jeep Compass is an impressive machine
Thanks to the slick 7-speed automatic gearbox that it comes with, the Jeep Compass is rather convenient to drive. Add its quintessential good looks to the mix and you have an SUV that does just about everything right and hits at the formula of being the ultimate urban set of wheels that leaves a big impression.
There is no denying the fact that this car is one good-looking SUV. It has the right proportions coupled with signature Jeep design elements like the seven-slot grille and the trapezoidal wheel arches. The sporty stance and butch looks give it a flair that makes it stand out from the rest of the urban machines in the market.
The cabin boasts of the same quality build and the fit-and-finish is commendable. You get a host of creature comforts that include a neat touchscreen infotainment system coupled with a high-end audio system, a powerful air conditioner, and steering mounted controls. There is ample room on board for passengers both up front and on the rear bench, plus the boot offers enough room to pack away quite a bit of luggage.
Built to last
The vehicle gets a Fiat-sourced engine which is capable of delivering 163 PS of maximum power and 250 Nm of torque. The top-of-the-line limited variant gets a 7-speed DDCT transmission which seamlessly shifts through the gears and adds to the overall aura of refinement that that petrol model offers. While you don’t get paddle shifts, the transmission does allow for a ‘manual’ feel where you can select the gears by nudging the gear lever up and down. As for the fuel efficiency, the Compass offers an ARAI-certified mileage of 16 kmpl.
Behind the wheel
The 1.4 AT car performs effortlessly and is quick enough to give you a rush! Being a pure front-wheel drive, as there is no 4x4 option on the petrol models currently, this automobile does have a bit of torque steer that is more pronounced when you floor the gas pedal. Apart from that, it does offer a decent ride quality and stays planted to the road even at high speeds.
Overall, it is very difficult to find fault with the Jeep Compass. It has been designed to impress, the interior fit and finish is decent and you get a serious amount of creature comforts on board as well. Add to that, the American carmaker has ensured that the Compass packs enough in terms of safety features. The icing on the cake has to be the pricing which starts at `15 lakh.

At the May 11 regular council meeting, Fort Saskatchewan City council approved a motion to construct an area dedicated to small dogs only in the West Rivers Edge dog park. This motion comes as a response to resident concerns over the safety of small dogs that visit the WRE dog park.
In 2020, Fort Saskatchewan Municipal Enforcement Services received three complaints from dog owners of small dogs being injured by larger dogs while using the WRE dog park. In 2021, a complaint was received early in the year regarding a severe attack on a small dog at the WRE dog park.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
“The City of Fort Saskatchewan received about ten service requests where concerns were expressed for the safety of small dogs at the park over the past two years,” said Richard Gagnon, Director of Public Works. “The need to create a dedicated small dog area at the West Rivers Edge dog park has now emerged as a solution to help create a more comfortable and less intimidating environment for small dogs and their owners.”
The approved motion calls for $22,750 in funding under the River Valley Enhancement Reserve. The costs associated will be allocated to additional fencing and gate installation. The new area will enclose 3,360 square meters of the WRE dog park with 135 meters of wooden fencing, including room for a walkable path along the perimeter. A swing door will be installed at the entrance gate adjacent to the doggie playground. The new small dog area will only reduce the surface of the main dog park by 3 per cent.
City administration noted at the meeting that only dogs weighing under 25 pounds would be considered small dogs and permitted in the area. Signage regarding the rules of the are will be posted at the dog park entrance. Construction is expected to be completed during the 2021 building season.

Robin Williams is coming to Toronto in November for a different kind of performance: he'll be sitting down for an onstage chat with his old friend, Canadian comedy veteran David Steinberg.
Films, TV, standup comedy and his personal life all figure to be in the mix in the conversation as the fast-talking cut-up and Oscar-winning actor (for his role in Good Will Hunting) holds forth Nov. 13 at the Sony Centre.
Williams, 61, is known as a comic and a conversationalist for spontaneous-seeming digressions, so those who buy tickets can't be sure what will be touched on, whether it's his movie career from Popeye to Old Dogs or his struggles with addiction over the years.
Tickets, on sale Sept. 22, will be $70-$130 via Ticketmaster.ca or the Sony Centre box office.

Treating cases like yours is only effective if you are being handled by a professional counselor since they are very knowledgeable about your situation. Although you have your friends and family members to help you and give you all the support that you need, they are still not knowledgeable about the right steps to take to help with your recovery.

If you are serious about your treatment, do not forget to book an appointment with a professional counselor. The important role of the counselor is a listener and that is what you really need at this point in your life. Just make sure you maintain your frequent visits to your counselors to monitor your progress.

The Board of Directors uses a focused and strategic approach to program funding that will provide the greatest opportunity for impact and measurable outcomes.
In the early years of the Endowment, the Board of Directors dedicated all of the available earnings to effective tobacco use prevention and cessation initiatives for the following reasons:
- Tobacco use remains Oklahoma's leading cause of preventable death, killing about 6,000 Oklahomans and costing Oklahoma over $2 billion in direct and indirect costs each year.
- It was the intent of the Master Settlement Agreement that states would use settlement funds to reduce tobacco use and tobacco-caused illness and death.
- Earnings from the Endowment’s investments grow over time. In the early years, the earnings available for programs were very limited.
- Today, TSET resources and other state funding combined provide less than half of the $32 million per year recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the minimum amount needed to fund an effective, comprehensive statewide tobacco control program in Oklahoma.
- Earnings from the Endowment alone may not be sufficient to fully fund a statewide tobacco control program until FY 2015.
- A strategic focus on dramatically reducing tobacco use in Oklahoma maximizes the impact of the limited earnings available, and leverages funds and other resources from other funding partners such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Oklahoma Medicaid, and the American Legacy Foundation.
Tobacco Control, Nutrition and Fitness, and Emerging Opportunities
The Board of Directors engages in a strategic planning process that involves a survey of key stakeholders, a review of the public health statistics in Oklahoma, and a review of the evidence-base in tobacco control. As a result, the Board reaffirms its commitment to tobacco control initiatives as the agency’s top priority through the request for proposal process. In 2011, TSET began funding initiatives to help address our state’s epidemic of physical inactivity and poor nutrition. In addition the Board approved a process by which the agency would accept unsolicited proposals in order to identify and respond to emerging opportunities to improve the health of Oklahomans, primarily through tobacco control or nutrition and fitness.
What We Don’t Fund
- Direct Support of Individuals
- Capital Projects
- Ongoing general operating expenses or existing deficits

(Apr. 26) – The House Rural Affairs and Agriculture committee approved Rep. Dylan Roberts’ bill to expand the broadband infrastructure in Colorado, especially in rural areas.
“Access to the internet is an indispensable part of our lives and it’s important we create equity between the rural and urban areas,” said Rep. Roberts, D-Avon. “Improving broadband infrastructure will help close the digital divide in communities on the Western Slope. We can save millions of dollars on new infrastructure if we allow electrical easement holders to deliver internet services to communities.”
Rep. Roberts is the Chair of the Rural Affairs and Agriculture committee.
This bill allows electrical easement holders to lease existing fiber resources on these easements for the purpose of delivering broadband internet services to communities. It will allow the utilization of dark fiber by providers to connect areas without having to spend money on costly new infrastructure or easement negotiation.
In parts of rural Colorado, broadband services are inadequate and in some instances nonexistent. Similar legislation has been passed in Indiana, Missouri, and Tennessee.
The bill passed the Senate on a 35-0 vote. SB19-107 passed the committee on a bipartisan vote of 9-1. It now heads to the House floor.
The Senate co-prime sponsor is Sen. Kerry Donovan, D-Vail.

President Donald Trump explained Friday that he instructed Vice President Mike Pence not to get to out to governors who aren’t “appreciative” of his administration’s endeavours to gradual the unfold of the coronavirus in their states.
“If they will not take care of you suitable, I don’t simply call,” Trump stated of those condition leaders.
“I believe they should really be appreciative. Simply because you know what? When they are not appreciative to me, they are not appreciative to the Military Corps [of Engineers], they are not appreciative to FEMA. It is really not suitable,” Trump instructed reporters at a day by day push briefing at the White Property.
The president described Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, each Democrats who have been critical of the White House’s actions to overcome the deadly pandemic.
Trump explained that Pence “calls all the governors. And I tell him, I’m a unique type of particular person, and I say, ‘Mike, will not call the governor of Washington. You might be throwing away your time with him.”
“Never call the girl in Michigan. It would not make any change what occurs,” Trump also claimed he advised Pence, who prospects the U.S. response to the coronavirus.
The president’s remarks arrived shortly soon after the amount of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the U.S. topped a hundred,000, according to info from Johns Hopkins University. The Entire world Wellness Organization warned this 7 days that the pandemic is accelerating about the earth.
Inslee responded to Trump’s remarks in a tweet, stating he was not going to “allow personalized attacks from the president distract me from what issues: beating this virus and trying to keep Washingtonians wholesome.”
Political leaders at each individual stage of authorities have taken excessive steps to sluggish transmission of the virus. An rising quantity of states, together with Washington and Michigan, have requested residents to continue to be home and have quickly closed educational facilities and closed non-vital corporations.

He contrasted those people governors with New York’s Andrew Cuomo and Phil Murphy of New Jersey. “I think if you question Governor Murphy of New Jersey how we’re executing, I assume he’d say, ‘Great.'”
“Governor Cuomo has definitely mentioned we are really carrying out a good occupation,” Trump added.
The White Dwelling did not immediately react to CNBC’s ask for for supplemental remark on the president’s remarks. The vice president’s business office did not quickly reply to a ask for for comment.

“As typical with ‘this’ General Motors, issues just in no way seem to be to perform out,” Trump tweeted. “They explained they ended up likely to give us 40,000 a great deal wanted Ventilators, ‘very quickly’. Now they are indicating it will only be 6000, in late April, and they want top rated dollar.”

Canes Tennis at a Crossroads
With just over two months left in the regular season, it appears that both of the Miami Hurricanes tennis teams have come to a crossroads. While the goals may be different, how they respond to the upcoming week could determine how their season ends this year.
For the men, it has been not only a rough year, but a rough three years. After making the NCAA tournament for the 43rd time in 2011, there has been a steady decline in the men’s results. From a ranking of No. 27 (15-9) in 2011, the men have finished No. 67 (8-13) in 2012 and No. 55 (13-13) in 2013. They have won a total of three conference dual matches in the last two seasons. With a relatively easy schedule and with three seniors on the team, there was some hope that they could sneak into the NCAA tournament this year, but so far the results have showed that the NCAAs may be a bit optimistic.

Farmers in Ngamiland who lost thousands of their cattle to bovine dermatophilosis disease, Senkobo, a common livestock disease that have been ravaging the North West and Okavango Districts have pleaded with the government to consider compensating them in order for their losses to get back on their feet and re-stock their livestock, particularly cattle lost due to the disease.
The disease was detected in the Okavango panhandle area in 2015, coinciding with the appearance of the bont tick (Amblyoma spp), previously unknown in the region. A large number of livestock has died since the outbreak in 2015. Although the exact number is not known, it estimated at over 4000 livestock (cattle, sheep, goats and donkeys) have died in the past year alone.
The eastern panhandle of the Okavango delta is the most affected, further exacerbating the high poverty levels in the area as most locals depend on livestock farming.
The Botswana Vaccine Institute (BVI) in collaboration with the Boehringer-Ingelheim (BI) recently launched a long acting Topline Dip aimed at controlling the bovine dermatophilosis disease (senkobo) in Boro settlement.
Speaking during the launch Kgosi Motswagole Mokgwathi of Boro who is also a farmer pleaded with government to consider compensating farmers who lost their cattle to the disease. He indicated that the disease has left most farmers destitute.
In an interview on the sidelines of the launch, a farmer from the Eastern Panhandle Lemphorwana Semolemo shared the same sentiments, lamenting that the disease has crippled farmers leaving most kraals empty.
He believes that compensation will greatly help the less privileged farmers to get on their feet and revive the livestock sector. Semolemo is of the view that the department of veterinary services was slow to act though he is uncertain if it was because they were not familiar with it or they were just being unproductive.
Meanwhile, Agriculture minister Fidelis Molao applauded BVI and BI for cooperating and making strides in the research and development of vaccines for Botswana and the continent.
Molao encouraged farmers to form syndicates and stablish dip tanks at strategic location advising them to also take advantage of programmes such as the Livestock Management and Infrastructure Development to construct dip tanks.
He further called on farmers to ensure absolute commitment to sustain dipping and be observant to the animals for infestations and early appearance of the disease. He noted that the government has decided to assist famers with free dips and antibiotics treatment as a short term response to control the outbreak.
Senkobo causes severe animal suffering, and if untreated, can cause mortalities and serious economic losses and is easily treatable by antibiotics, and even more easily preventable by removing predisposing factors, for example by dipping of livestock by farmers to control ticks.
In the Chobe region where Senkobo is endemic, Minister Molao said government support is limited to extension messaging on application of dips to control tick infestation and treatment of stricken animals. He said in the Okavango region, the condition has however been spreading due to lack of sustained control effort.
“Admittedly this may have been due to inadequate extension messaging and education of farmers. For example, there is evidence that a significant number of farmers have been under-dosing the dips and antibiotics, or failing to dip frequently enough to suppress tick infestation.”

What Is CBD?
To date, there are up to 120 known cannabinoids identified in the cannabis plant. Some of the more common cannabinoids are CBG, CBN, THC, THCV, CBD, CBDA and CBC. While we have heard about THC for decades, the cannabinoid getting all the attention lately is CBD. Cannabidiol , or CBD for short, was first identified in 1942 by American chemist, Roger Adams, and his team at the University of Illinois. He is also responsible for discovering THC (tetrahydrocannbinol) almost 20 years later. Dr. Raphael Mechoulum made the first breakthrough towards understanding the effects of individual cannabinoids in 1963 when he successfully identified the stereochemistry of CBD. He would continue to study these cannabinoids for decades and in the 1990’s he would discover the endocannabinoid system, or ECS for short. CBD research has shown remarkable potential in the studies regarding convulsions/seizures, anxiety, inflammation, nausea, behavioral issues, cancer and other diseases and other ailments.

5 Ways for Northern Michigan Seniors to Stay Safe in the Sun
Summertime. Our reward for having survived another cold and snowy Michigan winter. For older adults, however, summer can create just as many risks as a Northern Michigan winter does. One of the worst is Hyperthermia. It happens when you are just too hot. Your body can’t rid itself of enough heat. Untreated, it can lead to heat stroke. Seniors are at greater risk for it.
The aging experts at The Brook Retirement Communities offer you our 5 best tips for staying safe this summer:
- Limit sun time. On the hottest days of the summer, try to avoid going outside. Especially during mid-day and afternoon. That is when UV rays, heat and humidity are at their peak. If you and an aging loved one must go outside, try to do so in the early morning and evening hours.
- Protect Your Skin. Older adults are more likely to have thinner skin. That puts them at an increased risk of both sun burn and sun poisoning. Apply sunscreen liberally as often as indicated on the directions. Don’t forget areas like the end of your nose, tops of your ears, and the back of your neck.
- Drink up! Make sure you drink your 8 – 10 glasses of water each day during the summer heat. If you are perspiring alot, health experts also recommend drinking a sports drink to replace the electrolytes. Just don’t overdo it. Some sports drinks are high in sugar and that can actually contribute to dehydration.
- Investigate Medication Side Effects. Some of the drugs that older adults more commonly can increase sun sensitivity. What that means is seniors can suffer from heat exhaustion or heat related illnesses much quicker than normal.
- Watch Your Diet. Water rich foods, like cucumbers and watermelon, can help to keep you hydrated. You also want to eat high protein foods to keep your blood sugar steady. Chicken, fish, and Greek yogurt are all good options for summer menus.
Finally, remember these three words to help keep yourself or an aging loved one safe: Water.Rest. Shade.
Do you have any good tips for surviving the dog days of a Michigan summer?
We’d love to hear from you in the comments below!

111 Places in Istanbul That You Must Not Miss
- 111 lesser-known and surprising tourist attractions to be found in Istanbul
- A melting pot of cultures and a meeting point of continents
- Features interesting and unusual places not found in traditional travel guides
- Part of the international 111 Places/Shops series with over 650 titles and 3.8 million copies in print worldwide
Istanbul is being transformed at full speed; it is a melting pot of cultures and a meeting point of continents. The city has already shed the skin of its history and invented itself anew numerous times, and perhaps this is now taking place again. To comprehend Istanbul, one must understand its history. Whoever strolls through its quarters today will constantly catch a glimpse of its history, tiny stones of a mosaic on which the inhabitants of Istanbul have been working for centuries and which will never be finished because they are constantly reinventing not only their city, but themselves. This book deals with 111 unusual mosaic stones from yesterday, today and tomorrow – some of which glow in colourful splendour, while others emanate an uncanny fragrance.

Could it be? Could the ‘80s staple, once a retro punchline, be back in style? As those more fashion-savvy than I may be aware Members Only was resurrected way back in ‘04, and the brand only seems to have gained momentum in the years since. On their first Booth feature, the NU Revolution Camp celebrate the comeback by making a little Members Only Jacket Music. Over an exotically out-the-box string-sampled beat by Benny Rome, reader-approved crewmates Whitefolkz, Wordsmith, Kontact and Black Knight give us a guided tour of their wardrobes. Stunting may be the primary focus, but the fearsome foursome’s shifting rhyme schemes and memorable turns of phrase (not to mention the classy instrumental vibe) make this a cut above your average ode to couture. Does this cut make you want to run out and purchase a Members Only jacket of your very own – or, if you’re old enough to have an original specimen, dig it out of the back of your closet? Then you’ll undoubtedly appreciate the new material NRC are set to showcase on SuperHero Theme Music Vol. 1, coming soon.

If you are considering installing a glass splashbacks colours in your kitchen, then the best advice that I can offer you is to go for a neutral colour. This will provide your new glass splashback with a much wider range of appeal than you would be able to achieve with a bold or brightly coloured splashback. One of the problems with splashbacks, in general, is that they tend to look too busy. Because the splashback is on the countertop, the majority of the room is going to be covered up and it is often the case that areas of the splashback are more prone to stains and spills than other parts of the splashback. If you install a splashback in your kitchen, you need to make sure that it fits in well with the rest of the room and looks proportionally well.
The most popular glass splashbacks colours:
That are used for kitchens are frosted and mirror-polished finish splashbacks. These types of flashbacks tend to be very slim in terms of design and create a much cleaner look to your kitchen. Although they have been design to give a clean finish, some people also opt for a textured finish to add some style. As always, it is important to check with any company that you use to ensure that you purchase Glass Splashbacks Colours with a good level of durability so that they last you for many years to come.
When it comes to glass splashbacks colours:
one of the main colours that people prefer to use is white. However, if you want your splashbacks to stand out and really add a unique statement to your kitchen, then you should consider using colours like aqua, blue or grey. These colours can be a little harder to find than some of the other colours that are commonly use but it is worth trying. The main benefit of these colours is that they tend to create a great atmosphere in your kitchen, especially if you have a more modern style kitchen. If you want to use other colours, then simply use the colours that work best for your overall decor.
Another thing that people often like to use when it comes to glass splashbacks is a marble.
Marble tends to be very easy to maintain, which is another reason why people often like to use it when they are planning a remodel to their kitchen. However, marble will need regular cleaning and maintenance to keep it looking its best. There are some products on the market that can help you keep your marble Glass Splashbacks Colours looking at their best; you should consider this when choosing marble for your glass splashbacks.
If you are looking for a glass splashback colour that will suit your overall decor:
Then you should think about using glass that has been texture. Texture glass can be found in a wide range of different colours, usually base on the glass block that it is made from. These types of splashbacks are normally quite smooth, so they blend nicely with other elements in your kitchen. You may also find that this type of flashbacks is ideal if you want a unique style that isn’t available anywhere else. Because of this, texture glass splashbacks are becoming increasingly popular among those that want to design their kitchens uniquely.
When choosing glass splashbacks colours, you should consider your overall budget. Although you can easily afford to splash back into your kitchen with the best splashbacks, some materials are more expensive than others. Because you will need to replace your splashbacks regularly, it is important to think about how much you can afford to spend on them. This will help you narrow down your options so that you can choose a particular glass for your kitchen that fits your budget. You should also consider the colours that you want to incorporate into your glass splashbacks.

Authors: Melissa Argraves, MD & Pamela Weiss, MD, MSCE
A 13-year-old male presents with left hip and right-sided low back pain.
- 1 year of left hip pain, worse at the end of the day
- Over last 6 months, he has also developed right lower back/buttock pain
- 15 minutes of morning stiffness in back and legs
- Right buttock pain is worse with prolonged sitting
Review of Systems: No diarrhea, no bloody stool, no rashes, no fevers, no weight loss, no joint swelling
Past Medical History: Non-contributory
Family History: Mother- juvenile idiopathic arthritis (subtype unknown), no inflammatory bowel disease, no psoriasis, no other autoimmune disease
Immunizations: Up to date
Allergies: No known drug allergies
Medications: Naproxen 375 mg twice daily (10 mg/kg twice daily)
General: Normal vital signs, Weight 37.5 kg, Well appearing
Skin: No rashes. No nail pits.
Joints: Pain at the right buttock with external rotation and abduction of the left hip, no peripheral arthritis, hip ROM normal
Entheses: Right sacroiliac tenderness, left greater trochanter tenderness
What is the best study to evaluate for sacroiliitis in children?
- X-ray pelvis
- CT pelvis
- Non-contrast MRI pelvis
- LS Spine MRI with contrast
C. Non-contrast MRI pelvis
MRI is the best imaging modality to evaluate for pediatric sacroiliitis. X-rays are not sensitive and MOST children with sacroiliitis do not have x-ray evidence of disease. CT scan is also not an ideal study and exposes children to unnecessary radiation. MRI of the pelvis without contrast is equivalent to a contrast study if STIR or T2 fat saturated & T1 sequences are obtained. Avoidance of contrast is both safer for the patient and cheaper. Lumbosacral imaging may or may not appropriately visualize the sacroiliac joint depending on the protocol used and as noted above, contrast is unnecessary.
- CBC, CMP normal
- CRP 2.1 mg/dL
- ESR 37 mm/hr
- HLA-B27 positive
- MRI Pelvis – See figure 1
Which imaging finding is required for radiologic diagnosis of pediatric sacroiliitis on MRI imaging?
- Surrounding bone marrow edema
- Fluid within the sacroiliac joint space
- Bony erosions
- Synovial enhancement
A. Surrounding bone marrow edema
Our patient (figure 1) had clear evidence of sacroiliitis with bone marrow edema (arrows). Healthy pre-pubertal and some peri-pubertal youth have metaphyseal equivalent subchondral signal that is symmetric, follows the contour of the bone and often also extends within the cartilage of the sacral bodies (figure 2 arrows) that should not be mistaken for inflammation. Erosions are evidence of more chronic disease and do not need to be seen to make the diagnosis of sacroiliitis.
What is the best choice of therapy for this patient?
- TNF inhibitor
- Switch to a different NSAID
- Oral corticosteroids
A. TNF inhibitor
This patient is symptomatic despite appropriate dose of NSAIDs and has bilateral sacroiliitis with bone marrow edema and erosions. Medication is usually dosed by weight in children, and appropriate dosage of naproxen for treatment of arthritis related pain and inflammation is 10 mg/kg twice daily. In cases like this the ACR/AF JIA guidelines recommend TNF inhibition. While NSAIDs, are preferred over no treatment, TNF inhibition is preferred. TNF inhibition is also preferred over methotrexate monotherapy.
Case Continued: Question 4
The patient’s 10-year-old brother is diagnosed with enthesitis-related arthritis two years later after presenting to rheumatology with right knee and ankle swelling as well as tenderness over the Achilles insertions bilaterally. He is also HLA-B27 +.
What additional finding is most likely to be predictive of sacroiliitis?
- Back pain
- Elevated CRP
- SI tenderness
- Elevated ESR
B. Elevated CRP
“Silent” sacroiliac disease can occur in children with enthesitis related arthritis meaning that the patients do not have symptoms or exam findings. Risk factors for silent disease include hip arthritis, HLA-B27 positivity and elevation of CRP. Silent sacroiliac disease (both subchondral edema and evidence of damage) can be present at time of diagnosis in up to 20% of youth.
