UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JULIU J. GRUENFELD, JR, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO ASSOCIATED ENGINEERS COMPANY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JULIUS J. GRUEN- FELI), Jr., a. citizen of the United States, re-
siding at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Christmas- Tree Ornaments, of which the following is a full, clear, concise, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecification.
My invention relates to Christmas tree ornaments and has for its object the provision of ornaments to be used for the purpose specified and which are to be illuminated.
In the preferred form which my invention may take I provide suitable ornament supporting means which cooperate with incandescent lamp sockets, there being preferably a plurality of lamp sockets on one circuit. My invention also concerns itself particularly with the constructional features of the ornament supporting devices which are associated with the socket.
i will describe my invention more in detail by referring to the accompanying: drawin}g illustrating one embodiment thereof in w 11c]- Fignre 1 shows a series of mounting devices together with their sockets as arranged in one circuit, certain portions being broken away to more clearly reveal features of construction;
Fig. 2 is holder, and
Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line 3-3 of Fig. 2, the lamps, socket and fragmentary portion of the ornament being shown.
. eferring more particularly to Fig. 1, I show a connecting plug 10 having the two conductors 11 and 12 which serially include a plurality of sockets 13. Upon each of the sockets is mounted an ornament carrier 14, which ornament carrier then carries a removable ornament Which may be for ina top view of the ornament stance. of the outline shown in Fig. 1 or Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed November 7,
Patented Aug. 10, 1920. 1917. Serial No. 200,667.
socket 13 and illuminates the ornaments, these ornaments being preferably made of translucent or otherwise semi-transparent material In this manner the entire figure presents a luminous aspect. carrier 14: as stated is suitably mounted on the sockets by means of the screw threaded section 19 of insulating plate 23. The ornament carrier has a central opening 20 in the plate 28 through which the lamp base projects when it is screwed into the socket. Further holes 21 are provided preferably circumferentially arranged to permit the air to circulate inwardly.
The ornament carrier is preferably made of an annular nature consisting of the annular metal ring 22, as shown more clearly in Fig. 3, which supports the insulating plate 23 having the holes 20 and 21. The metallic ring 22 also has a central opening 24 through which the lamp projects. The metallic annular ring 22 serves as a base for supporting the ornament, as is more readily apparent from Figs. 1 and'3. As used, the various ornament carriers are provided with suitable fingers and the sockcts are then mounted in any desired way upon the tree.
The effect of this is to avoid the mechanical impression obtained from the mere use of incandescent lamps for illuminating the Christmas tree. The light effects are by reason of my invention obtained through The ornament the luminous character of the ornaments used.
By reason of the construction and arrangement as shown dangers of conflagration are avoided as suitable air circulation is provided so that there can be no danger of over heating.
Inthe also of those ornaments which are provided with a large radiating surface the upper openings in the ornament need not be present as the holes in the ornament carrier provide heated air to prevent over heating.
It will be obvious that with the construction herein disclosed the burning out of the lamp does not necessitate the entire discarding of the ornament, but merely calls for a lamp replacement. Likewise, the destruction of the ornament does not cause an entire loss of the device as merely a new ornament need be added. The expense of sufficient escape for the maintenance is thus greatly reduced and the usefulness of this style of ornamentation greatly increased:
From What has been thus described the nature of my invention will be readily clear to those skilled in the art, and what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A device of the character described comprising an electric lamp socket, a lamp therefor having a screw threaded plug adapted to fit said socket, and an ornament carrier having an ornament supporting ring and an insulating plate contained within said ring, said plate having a screw threaded opening adapted to be engaged by said plug to thereby support said carrier on the lamp.
2. A device of the character described comprising an electric lamp socket, a lamp therefor having a screw threaded plug adapted to fit said socket, an ornament carrier mounted on said plug and removable bodily therewith and an ornament removably supported by said carrier, said ornament completely inclosing the lamp and having means to permit the escape of heat from said lamp.
In witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name this 31st day of October, A. I).
JULIUS J. eRUENFE-Ln, JR.

People often wonder why it is recommended that they have their pet vaccinated every year, but rarely get vaccinated themselves after childhood. Traditionally, dogs and cats receive a series of vaccines as puppies and kittens, and then yearly booster vaccines for the rest of their lives. However, there are concerns about rare but serious adverse effects associated with vaccines. There are also questions about whether yearly vaccination is truly necessary for most pets and most diseases.
There is no doubt that the beneficial effects of vaccination greatly outweigh the risks, but even so adverse effects cannot be ignored. Information about duration of immunity after vaccination, vaccine safety and disease rates need to be considered when determining how often to vaccinate an animal. Unfortunately, minimal information is available about how long most vaccines are protective in dogs and cats. So there is a logical tendency to err on the side of caution and vaccinate more frequently, rather than less.
New guidelines for vaccination of cats are now available from the American Association of Feline Practitioners. The guidelines recommend longer intervals between vaccines in most older cats that have been previously (and adequately) vaccinated.
Rabies vaccination also has important legal aspects to consider. Different jurisdictions have different requirements. While a three-year rabies vaccine is available, many regions still require more frequent vaccination. Even if an animal is properly vaccinated with a three-year vaccine, if local rules require yearly vaccination, an animal vaccinated more than one year earlier could be considered unvaccinated. This can have a tremendous impact if the animal is exposed to rabies – it could mean the difference between monitoring the pet at home, or a long quarantine, or even euthanasia. Therefore, it is important to consider the duration of immunity induced by the rabies vaccine used AND the local regulations. Rabies vaccination is even important for indoor cats.
The bottom line is:
- Vaccination is an important part of your pet’s preventive medicine program.
- Different cats need different vaccination programs, depending on their age and what diseases they may be exposed to.
- Potential vaccine reactions should be reported to your veterinarian, who should then report them to the appropriate regulatory authorities, so that a better understanding of adverse reaction rates can be obtained.
- Don’t let vague fears of adverse reactions deter you from vaccinating your pet. If you have concerns, get informed, talk to your veterinarian, and get accurate information.
One last point…I think the biggest potential problem with moving beyond annual vaccination is the potential loss of annual veterinary exams. Particularly for older pets, I feel that the annual physical exam and veterinary consultation are much more important than vaccination. Regardless of a pet’s vaccination program, it is essential that a pet receives an annual veterinary examination to identify potential health problems as early as possible. Every few years is not enough.

Airlines Make Less Money On Baggage, But Find Money Elsewhere
NBC RIGHT NOW-- A new, government report shows airlines make less money off your bags, but make up for it with other fees.
Airlines took in nearly $3.35 billion dollars from luggage fees last year.That is down four percent from 2012, which is the steepest drop since airlines started charging for checked bags back in 2008.
The report shows this is because some passengers avoid bag fees by using airline credit cards or earning elite-level frequent-flier status, which allow for free checked bags. Others carry their bag on board and fight for space in the overhead bins.
Airlines had to start charging for other services to make up for their losses.
They collected $2.81 billion last year from fees for changing a reservation or ticket, a 10 percent increase since 2012.
Some are now even charging people for their carry on items.
In 2008, financially strapped American Airlines expanded the fees to checking a regular bag or two, and other carriers soon matched the move. That year, the industry's revenue from bag fees more than doubled, then doubled again the next year, and rose again in 2010.
Bag-fee revenue peaked at $3.49 billion in 2012 before falling last year.

Al-Qaeda dominates northern Mali, desecrates Timbuktu tombBreaking News
Members of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb have desecrated a saint’s tomb in the fabled city of Timbuktu, an act condemned by Malian authorities as “unspeakable.”
“Members of AQIM, supported by (the armed Islamist group) Ansar Dine, have destroyed the tomb of Saint Sidi (Mahmoud Ben) Amar. They set fire to the tomb,” an official told AFP on condition of anonymity, adding that they had pledged to destroy others too.
Timbuktu, a UNESCO World Heritage site and cradle of Islamic learning, has been under the control of AQIM and Ansar Dine since the groups took advantage of a March 22 coup to take control of northern Mali....

All employees are encouraged to take the Postal Pulse survey before Friday, April 3, Chief Human Resources Officer Jeff Williamson said.
“We thank everyone who has submitted their responses,” said Williamson. “If employees haven’t completed the survey, we encourage them to do so before April 3. Their feedback is very important.”
USPS also wants employees to know their responses are confidential — and will remain so.
Gallup, the company administering the survey, receives all responses and stores them in a secure database. No one from the Postal Service has access to or sees individual responses.
“We value candid employee feedback. That’s why no supervisor or manager can view individual employees’ responses,” said Williamson.
The reports that Gallup provides do not include information that USPS can use to determine the identity of individual responders.
Some employees have expressed concerns about the survey being administered in a group setting in their workplace.
“Managers and supervisors should not mandate group administration procedures to facilitate employee completion and mailing of surveys,” Williamson said. “Employees may voluntarily participate in the Postal Pulse on the clock at a time that is operationally conducive for business operations.”
Additional information is included in Williamson’s recent video message.

If you need the flavor punch of oregano in a recipe but realize you’ve run out, we’ve got you covered. Oregano is an easy herb to substitute in a pinch. I would guess you already have at least one of these substitutes on hand in your spice collection as we speak.
Oregano is well-loved in Italian, Greek, and Mexican cuisines. It can add its slightly peppery, herbal vibe to soups, seafood, chicken, and potatoes. It’s also a winner in tomato-based dishes and goes great with beans.
Whatever kind of dish you’re making, this list will provide you with options for oregano substitutes so you can keep on cooking.
In This Article
The 9 Best Oregano Substitutes
A classic herb in Italian recipes, basil can replace oregano in pizza sauce, pasta, salads, and Greek recipes. Of course, it’s also the classic herb for making pesto.
Basil’s flavor is similar to that of oregano in that it’s aromatic and slightly peppery. It can be cooked into dishes or minced and sprinkled on top. The fresh herb is also quite nice when cut thin (chiffonade-style) and used as a flavorful finishing garnish.
To use basil in place of oregano, start with a 1:1 ratio. And as with most herbs, do your best to use dried basil to replace dried oregano and fresh to replace fresh.
2. Mexican Oregano
Believe it or not, Mexican oregano is from a different botanical family than standard oregano, which originated in Greece. It’s delicious in Mexican cuisine, but it also complements seafood and chicken dishes.
Mexican oregano is my favorite–I don’t even buy the other kind anymore! It has a stronger flavor than standard oregano and is more earthy, with bright hints of mint and citrus.
Since Mexican oregano is so potent, you’ll only need to use half the amount of the Mexican variety compared to regular oregano. If you’re having a hard time finding it, check the Mexican food section of your local supermarket or Latin American grocery store.
Marjoram can successfully replace oregano in soups, vegetable dishes, and pizza sauce. Try it with chicken and pork dishes for a scrumptious home-cooked flavor.
Because this herb is closely related to oregano, its flavor has overlapping qualities. However, it’s more subtle than oregano and tastes more floral than it does peppery.
Unfortunately, marjoram won’t hold up as well to slow cooking as oregano does. This means it’s better to add this substitute toward the end of cooking so its flavor stays intact.
Since marjoram is much more subtle than oregano, try using twice the amount of marjoram as the amount of oregano in your recipe.
Thyme is another close substitute for oregano. It works best in vinaigrettes, soups, stews, and hearty winter dishes. Try it with meats, potatoes, and tomato sauce for a warm, herbal flavor.
The flavor of thyme is close to oregano, and so is its strength. It has a pungent flavor that tastes green and makes me think of a pine forest (in a good way).
There are different varieties of thyme, each with a unique aroma and taste. Try garden varieties like lemon thyme and mint thyme for a fun flavor change.
If you’re using thyme as an oregano substitute, a 1:1 ratio is a good place to start.
Pro Tip: Mix thyme (or other herbs) with softened butter and refrigerate it for a deliciously spreadable and meltable topper for pasta, potatoes, and toast.
5. Italian Seasoning
If you have Italian seasoning in your spice cabinet, you’re in luck. While it’s an easy fix in tomato sauces and pasta, this seasoning also works great in chicken and fish recipes.
It’s a super easy replacement for oregano since it already contains the herb, along with several of the substitutes in this list. It usually includes oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, and marjoram. Sometimes it might also have lemon zest or chili flake.
This Italian-inspired spice blend is highly flavorful and well-balanced, which means it goes with almost any savory dish. It’s a bit more potent than straight oregano, so use half the amount to replace the oregano in your recipe.
Sage is a deeply savory substitute for oregano that’s suitable in richer meat dishes. It goes exceptionally well with pork and lamb. Also try sage with roasted vegetables and other seasonal winter dishes like shepherd’s pie.
This fuzzy-leaved herb is highly fragrant. It’s pungent and has a deep earthy flavor reminiscent of pine. It’s easy to find dried or fresh, both of which must be cooked into a dish, as it’s not good eaten raw.
Since sage is so strong, go lightly with it as an oregano substitute. It can take over a dish if you’re not careful. For a well-rounded flavor, consider cooking it with other complementary flavors like garlic, onion, and bay leaf.
For dried sage, add it early in your recipe’s cooking so it has time to mellow in flavor. Fresh sage is best added near the end of cooking for the best taste. Start with half the amount of sage in your recipe for the amount of oregano needed.
Rosemary can take the place of oregano in soups, roasted vegetables (especially potatoes), and tomato sauces. It’s also a fragrant addition to chicken and lamb dishes.
This herb has a similar earthy flavor to oregano and is strongly aromatic. Due to its potency, it’s easy to overpower your dish if too much is added.
To use fresh rosemary, remove the leaves from the stem and mince them finely. Then, add it sparingly to your recipe in place of oregano, at one pinch of rosemary for every teaspoon of oregano.
Another way to avoid overdoing it with rosemary is to ensure it’s not stewed too long. Try adding it about halfway through cooking in soup and stew recipes for best results, and avoid using it in long cooking crock pot recipes.
This leafy green herb can fill in for oregano in salad dressings, roasted vegetables, tomato-based recipes, soups, and ground beef-based dishes.
The two main varieties of parsley are curly and flat-leaf Italian parsley. Both varieties are deep green in color and much milder than oregano in flavor. Though milder, they pair well with most dishes calling for oregano.
Curly and Italian parsley are mostly interchangeable and are best when minced finely before using. They can be added right to a dish while cooking, in a salad dressing, or used as a finishing garnish for color and flavor.
Use parsley as a 1:1 substitute for oregano.
Tarragon has a fascinating flavor that can take the place of oregano in some recipes. It’s a winner in salad dressings, egg dishes, and fish and poultry recipes.
This herb has a unique flavor compared to oregano, but it is definitively herbal. It’s fragrant, dark green, and anise-scented.
Fresh tarragon leaves are quite delicate and don’t hold up well to cooking for an extended time. It tends to work best in quick-cooking recipes. That being said, it’s still a potent herb that has the potential to overpower a dish.
To use tarragon in place of oregano, remove the fresh leaves from the stems and mince them finely. Use half the amount of tarragon than the amount of oregano called for in your recipe.
Final Tips For Oregano Substitutes
Like oregano, some herbs can be added at the beginning of cooking and still retain their flavor. These include Italian seasoning, thyme, and Mexican oregano.
Some herbs can lose their flavor, however, or get too concentrated in a dish if they’re cooked for too long. These include rosemary, sage, tarragon, basil, marjoram, and parsley. These can be added during the last half of cooking, so the flavor doesn’t become too overpowering.
Additionally, dried herbs can usually withstand slightly longer cook times than fresh ones. If you’re substituting dried herbs for fresh herbs, use ⅓ the amount of dry to replace the fresh ones.
Finally, if you want the flavor of an herb to permeate the dish but don’t want any physical pieces in it, make a sachet with cheesecloth or a reusable tea bag. This can be especially useful for the more potent and woody herbs like rosemary that can be overpowering if you bite down on a large piece.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best replacement for oregano in soup?
This would depend on the flavors of your soup, but thyme and marjoram are two great choices.
How can I replace oregano in chili?
Try Mexican oregano in your chili, which comes from a different plant. It’s stronger in flavor, so you’ll only need to use half as much.
What can replace oregano in taco seasoning?
Mexican oregano is perfect for taco seasoning and comes from a different plant family. Find it in a Latin American grocery or in that section of the supermarket.

Survey finds series of holes lock and dam
By: Associated Press
EAST ALTON, Il. -- A survey crew discovered a series of holes at the Melvin Price Locks and Dam on the Mississippi River last week, prompting a quick repair effort.
The US Army Corps of Engineers says the dam near East Alton, Illinois, was not structurally compromised and there is no threat to the public safety.
Officials say the so-called scour holes vary in depth, exposing the steel-sheet pile beneath the dam's concrete foundation in some places.
The Corps plans to bring in underwater sound imaging equipment to look at the scour holes more closely. About 16,000 tons of rock are on order to repair the holes. It will be brought in by barge in the next few weeks.

Leadership in all walks of life comes from those at the top. If the head of any company does not demand production, that company usually fails. The same could be said for professional sports, and there are many less than exemplary examples such as the New York Mets. Anybody can say what they will about the late George Steinbrenner, but the man demanded the best even though he interfered what many will argue as too much. The one thing Steinbrenner learned to do eventually is allow the baseball executives he put in place to do their jobs.
With Steinbrenners’ absence for those couple years in the early 90′s, Gene “Stick” Michael and Buck Showalter were able to build a dynasty for the New York Yankees, although they were not around to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Steinbrenner in all his ramblings and interference, finally learned to say what he wanted, but not to interfere with how Brian Cashman and Joe Torre won from year to year with the team that was built by Stick and Buck.
Fast forward to 2012 and the Mets are in the midst of another mid-season collapse and are in the undesirable position of having the polar opposite of George Steinbrenner as their owners. Fred and Jeff Wilpon do not interfere enough. They sit back and believe that a major league club will just flash before their eyes and mold themselves into a winning team. Mets fans need ownership now more than ever and somehow we all see that the cry is falling upon deaf ears.
We all know that the Wilpons are not shy about spending money as they have done this in the past. But when is there going to be a time when the New York Mets ownership put the right executives in their place and then spend the money? Is Sandy Alderson and his crew of top quality front office men just a smokescreen, or are the Wilpons seriously going to try and build a winning franchise?
To the fans, it seems as though the Wilpons are merely playing out their childhood fantasy of owning a MLB team. To the rest of the league, it must be a relief that there is a big market club acting as if they are Kansas City Royals or Tampa Bay Rays. Where does it end? These players that have been busting their tail all year need ownership to back them up as they deserve the help to get to the next level. I’ll say it again as I’ve said it before- The Mets are so close to building a winning club, the Wilpons should taste it.
Unfortunately, no fan will ever believe in their team fully again until ownership has changed hands. The Wilpons undoubtedly will never sell the team that they have loved for so long, but that love will only carry the loyalty of the fans for so long. CitiField is half empty, and that is on a good night. Flushing has become the epitome of pathetic baseball as the cross-town Bronx Bombers are winning at an incredible rate. The Mets need some kind of consistent leadership before the fans that are left refuse to watch this team of minor leaguers regress because there is no help from the top.

Wrinkles are a normal yet unsightly sign of aging which can come about due to various reasons including too much exposure to the sun, poor diet, excessive smoking and drinking, lack of proper sleep, advent of age, loss of moisture and elasticity as well as collagen which creates a smooth and supple look, and other such reasons. Cosmetic and plastic surgeons are now turning to a variety of methods to lessen the pronounced look of wrinkles and remove them for younger looking skin. Here are a few methods currently in use.
- Fillers: Fillers like collagen and others including poly lactic acid, Calcium Hydroxlyapatite, and Hyaluronic acid can be used to restore the elasticity of the skin even as they provide precious hydration. These injectibles can be used on the face as well as the hands for a smooth and supple look.
- Botox: To get rid of the lines on the forehead and to prevent the onset of more pronounced wrinkles, Botox or Botulinum Toxin Type A is a favoured element used by many cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists. This is usually administered via injection.
- Retinoids: This is administered with a surgical procedure in order to remove uneven pigmentation as well as the roughness of skin which sets in with age and excessive smoking and sun exposure. It may cause skin peeling and redness.
- Laser: The use of laser resurfacing can also help in stimulating collagen production of the skin, which restores some of its elasticity so that wrinkles may be removed and further wrinkles prevented.
- Surgery: The use of surgical methods like face lifts, brow lifts and other cosmetic processes can help in giving the skin a tighter look which does away with the appearance of wrinkles. These are usually minor procedures from which one will heal fast.
- Dermabrasion: This method is a surgical one that basically sands the surface of the skin in order to remove the wrinkles. It can cause side effects like permanent discolouration of the skin as well as scarring for particularly sensitive skin.
- Peels: Glycolic acid peels and deeper peels that use elements like Salicylic acid can be used to go deep into the skin and making it smooth again. It basically makes a difference to the fine lines. There is a chance of side effects like scarring, bruising and general discolouration in this method as well.
Adequate sleep, good nutrition, avoiding excessive sun exposure and a good skin care regimen can help in keeping wrinkles at bay for a long time. Moisturising with products that contain plenty of vitamin A and E can also help in reducing fine lines. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Dermatologist.
Use spices and other flavor enhancers such as spices, dried and fresh herbs, garlic and ginger, citrus, vinegars and wine. Flavors can be black pepper, cinnamon and turmeric to fresh basil, chili peppers and lemon juice.
Use the right healthy fats from roasted nuts and avocados to olive, canola, soybean and other oils.
Searing and saut�ing foods in a pan builds flavor. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of many vegetables and the taste of fish and chicken. If you do steam or microwave food, perk up these dishes with a finishing drizzle of flavorful oil and a squeeze of citrus.
Get your whole grains from sources other than bread. White bread contains salt, not just for flavor but to ensure that the dough rises properly.
Shop for raw ingredients with maximum natural flavor, thereby avoiding the need to add as much (if any) sodium.


Toddler who needed skin graft for horrific burns was sent home from hospital with Calpol and a bandage
A toddler who suffered horrific burns was sent home from hospital with Calpol and bandaged wounds - despite needing a skin graft.
Casey White, aged 17 months, was badly scalded on her face, shoulder and abdomen when she poured boiling water over herself at her nursery last Friday morning.
Her frantic mother Claire White, 24, rushed her to Ipswich Hospital, Suffolk, where an accident and emergency doctor decided not to admit her to a ward.
Scalded: Casey White, aged 17 months, poured boiling water over herself and suffered burns to her face, shoulder and abdomen
Instead she was treated as an outpatient, bandaged up and sent home with paracetamol-based medicine Calpol and pain reliever Nurofen.
Mrs White of Stowmarket, Suffolk, took Casey back to the hospital on Saturday because she was still in agonising pain.
Doctors then sent her by ambulance to the St Andrew's specialist burns unit at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex.
Casey underwent a skin graft operation on the most serious burns on her shoulder on Saturday night and doctors fear she might need further surgery on her face.
The toddler is now being fed through a tube and her mother fears that she might end up scarred for life.
Casey White, pictured before the incident, had to have a skin graft, and doctors fear she may need further surgery on her face
The mother-of-two said: 'Poor little Casey's still in a lot of pain after her skin graft and is crying a lot.
'We'll probably be here in hospital until Friday at the earliest.
'It couldn't have happened at a worse time, just before Christmas.'
Mrs White is considering making a formal complaint to Ipswich Hospital for sending her daughter home.
She is also considering legal action against the Angels Daycare nursery in Needham Market, Suffolk, where the accident happened.
Mrs White said: 'I am just wondering what happened in those two days and if anybody is competent enough to do their job anymore.
'I am just angry. I know that accidents happen - but this should not have happened. It is our little girl and this could scar her for life.
'It is horrible. I cannot sleep or eat and I would do anything to take the burn marks away from her.'
Casey's mother fears she may now be scarred for life
Mrs White said she received a phone call from the nursery just after 9am on Friday to tell her about the accident.
She was told that a nursery nurse had been cooling cups of boiled water for babies and had shut a safety gate on leaving the kitchen area.
But when she went back into the kitchen a few moments later, Casey followed behind and pulled one of the cups on to herself.
An Ipswich Hospital spokesman said in a statement: 'This is a superficial scalding burn to the face and trunk with an area on partial thickness over the shoulder.
'Casey was seen by a very experienced A&E doctor, and she was immediately given strong painkillers.
'The burns were properly assessed and it was felt that they could be managed as an outpatient with dressings.
'We safely and successfully manage many children with similar burns in this way each year. The next day review was organised to assess the burns again.
'It is at this stage that we sometimes consider that an area of burn requires specialist attention. It is extremely unusual to have to refer a hot water scald for specialist assessment and surgery.
'We are obviously very sorry for any extra distress that Casey and her family suffered as a result of her transfer and wish her a speedy recovery from her operation.'
She said the treatment Casey received was standard for burns patients.
Sue Button, the owner of Angels Daycare which opened a year ago, described the accident as a case of 'human error' and said staff were traumatised.
She said: 'This is an incredibly traumatic experience for all involved and all our love goes out to the child and family.'
The accident happened at Angels Daycare in Needham Market, Suffolk
She added: 'We have tried to anticipate every possible scenario for accidents occurring and put in policies and procedures to ensure this does not happen.
'But on this occasion it was a case of human error and however hard we try to protect children, whether it be at home or nursery, it would be naive of me to say that we could protect them from every possible thing that can go wrong.'
She added: 'Everything has been done to ensure that, where humanly possible, nothing like this will ever happen again.'
Ofsted has begun an investigation into the incident, but said it was too soon to say whether any action would be taken against the nursery.
A spokesman said: 'The nursery has informed us that they have now changed their procedures to prevent any danger of a repetition and our inspectors will be making an urgent visit to the premises.
'An urgent strategy meeting has been called by the local authority to review the wider issues involved in the incident.'
Mid Suffolk District Council's environmental health officers are also investigating.

The chair of the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association called on the industry to do more to tackle the risk posed by climate change at its recent conference.
Richard Butler, PLSA chair, told attendees: ““[it’s crucial] because climate risk is a systemic risk which affects every sector, every business model and, at its extremes, every company. That means, as investors or advisors to investors of over a trillion pounds, it affects us, the members of the PLSA. We simply cannot ignore it. Indeed, in my view, if we were to it would be a dereliction of our duty.”
Perhaps one of the reasons for Mr Butler’s focus on climate change is that because the oil price collapse, commodity stocks now find themselves in the value bucket, perhaps tempting potential investors.
However, the PLSA added in its statement that against a backdrop of falling share prices driven by the impact of the coronavirus, Mr Butcher said that savers, thanks in part to Greta Thunberg and Extinction Rebellion, are demanding schemes act on their environmental responsibilities.
It’s hardly a secret that many pension funds have at the heart of their investment mandate a focus on sustainable and ethical investing.
This includes playing leading roles in investor initiatives such as Climate Action 100+. The Church of England Pension Fund and the £30 billion Brunel pool – which recently threatened to sack investment managers that do not take action on the climate crisis – among them.
Climate risk regulation is also on the rise. The new ESG rules that apply to trustees, and the similar requirements being imposed on personal pension providers through the mechanism of their independent governance committees, will help to change more of the collective behaviour so that it is focused more on long term risk, and particularly, on climate risks.
“But, although these rule are a start, they are not, in our view, enough,” Mr Butcher said.
“We are not arguing for an increase in regulation, but we do believe we have a fiduciary and a social responsibility to go beyond minimum compliance.”

propagating your own potato seed because seed is infrequent and vegetative reproduction often causesdisease in future generations
Insect pollinated. Different radish varieties should be isolated by a distanceof ¼ mile to prevent cross pollination. Allow the seed pods to become papery and dry and harvest the entireplants. Some further drying may be necessary before threshing. A ¼" screen on top of a 1/8" screen can beused for cleaning the seed. Radish seeds remain viable for 5 years.
Wind pollinated. Spinach varieties must be isolated by 1/4 mile to preventcross pollination by wind. When seeds are dry, harvest the entire plant and thresh on a tarp. A 1/2 " screenon top of a 1/4" and 1/8" is helpful for cleaning. Spinach seed remains viable for 3-5 years.
Insect pollinated. Unless you are handpollinating, different varieties of the same species need to be isolated by 1/4 mile to prevent cross-pollination. Treat winter squash and pumpkins the same as usually done for winter storage but allowsummer squash varieties to grow to a large size with a hard outside skin. After all squashes have reachedthis stage, harvest and let them sit for a period of after-ripening for 3-6 weeks or up to several months.Remove the seeds, rinse in water and dry. Use of a 1/2" and 1/4" screen can help with cleaning. Squashseeds remain viable for 6 years.
(except where noted):
Self pollinated. Different tomato varietiesrarely cross with one another so isolation distances are not generally required. The seed is mature when thetomato itself is ripe. Squeeze the seeds and juice into a jar and add about the same amount of water. Allowthis liquid to ferment in a warm place for 3-5 days, stirring daily, until the seeds have sunk to the bottom of the jar. Rinse the seeds and allow to dry on a paper plate or cloth. Use of a 1/8" screen can help withcleaning. Tomato seeds remain viable for 4-10 years.
Insect pollinated biennial. Different turnip varieties must be separated by 1/4mile. Seeds are mature when pods are dry. Harvest individual pods or entire stalks. Harvest into bags asseed can be lost due to shattering. Or harvest onto a tarp in the morning when plants are still wet with dew.Use a 1/8" screen to help with cleaning.
– a plant that completes its life cycle, from seed to seed, in one year
– a plant that completes its life cycle in two years
– some seeds (that evolved in colder climates) need a freeze to “wake up”, this can bedone with refrigeration with some seeds and with freezing with others
– producing viable seed through transfer of pollen from one plant to another
– usually associated with tomatoes, this term refers to bush variety plants that produce alltheir fruit in a 3 -4 week period
– first generation plant that resulted from the mating of two distinctly different parentalvarieties
– open-pollinated seeds, usually saved by a family and handed down over generations, definitelynot genetically modified
– associated with tomatoes, these plants produce fruit until the first frost, require staking or support
- seed that produces plants just like the parents, these allow growers to save seed for thefollowing year
– the scratching or nicking of seed (with hard coatings) to encourage it togerminate, can be done by nicking the seeds with a knife, rubbing the seeds with sandpaper, or shaking in asmall container
– producing viable seed when pollinated from its own pollen

Auditing 2016 Coursework
1/Explain the role and function of an audit committee (25 marks)
2/Management representations are a source of audit evidence. These representations may be oral or written, and may be obtained either on an informal or formal basis. The auditors will include information obtained in this manner in their audit working papers where it forms part of the total audit evidence.
Discuss the implications for the auditor of a small company, if the directors refuse to sign the letter of representation. (25 marks)
3/Dust&Rolls operates 32 food supermarkets. The companys year end is 31 December 2015. The audit manager and partner recently attended a planning meeting with the finance director and have provided you with the planning notes below.
You are the audit senior, and this is your first year on this audit. In order to familiarise yourself with Dust&Rolls, the audit manager has asked you to undertake some research in order to gain an understanding of Dust&Rolls , so that you are able to assist in the planning process. He has then asked that you identify relevant audit risks from the notes below and also consider how the team should respond to these risks. Dust&Rolls has spent 2.4 million in refurbishing all of its supermarkets; as part of this refurbishment programme their central warehouse has been extended and a smaller warehouse, which was only occasionally used, has been disposed of at a profit. In order to finance this refurbishment, a sum of 1.6 million was borrowed from the bank. This is due to be repaid over five years. The company will be performing a year-end inventory count at the central warehouse as well as at all 32 supermarkets on 31 December. Inventory is valued at selling price less an average profit margin as the finance director believes that this is a close approximation to cost. Prior to 2015, each of the supermarkets maintained their own financial records and submitted returns monthly to head office. During 2015 all accounting records have been centralised within head office. Therefore at the beginning of the year, each supermarkets opening balances were transferred into head offices accounting records. The increased workload at head office has led to some changes in the finance department and in November 2015 the financial controller left. His replacement will start in late December.
(a) List FIVE sources of information that would be of use in gaining an understanding of Dust&Rolls Stores Co, and for each source describe what you would expect to obtain. (10 marks)
(b) Using the information provided, describe FIVE audit risks and explain the auditors response to each risk in planning the audit of Dust&Rolls Stores Co. (25 marks)
(c) The finance director of Dust&Rolls Stores Co is considering establishing an internal audit department.
