In my previous blog on War Before Civilization I used the paintings by a French artist Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues. Although there was some controversy on the authenticity of his depictions of life in Southeastern North America in sixteenth century, I believe that at this point the verdict is that they are a good ethnographic source. In any case, in my previous blog I used Le Moyne’s paintings as illustrations (and for their shock value, I admit). The main argument about the intensity of warfare in Native American societies rests on very solid archaeological data, and doesn’t depend on Le Moyne’s veracity.
Le Moyne was part of an ill-fated French expedition to Florida in 1564–5. The expedition was a disaster, first running afoul of hostile Indians, and eventually being wiped out by fellow Europeans (the Spanish). Le Moyne was lucky to survive and get back to Europe. We are also lucky that he survived because he brought with him a wealth of ethnographic observations.
But as I was looking through Le Moyne’s illustrations, I couldn’t help noting, first subconsciously, and then in a more aware manner, just how tall the Native Americans were compared to the Europeans:

I am a big fan of using anthropometric data to measure people’s well-being. Average population height is a very sensitive indicator of changing standard of living (see for example my blog on this topic).
So this observation immediately reminded me of an article by Richard Steckel and Joseph Prince, Tallest in the World: Native Americans of the Great Plains in the Nineteenth Century. These authors analyzed the data collected in the nineteenth century by the students of the famous German-American anthropologist Franz Boas. Steckel and Prince found that the Plains Indians were astoundingly tall. Here’s their data for the average heights of men:
Some, like the Cheyenne, were as tall as the Americans today. All, with the exception of the Comanche, were as tall as the contemporary white Americans, and most were taller than them. This was not too difficult, because during the second half of the nineteenth century the heights of native-born white Americans were declining. The average height of American males born in 1850 was 171 cm, and 40 years later it fell down to 169 cm.
I am not even speaking of the sixteenth century French. As you can see in the last Le Moyne’s painting, the European leader of the French expedition is a full head shorter than the Indian chief:
Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues. Indian Victory Ceremony
One of the founders of anthropometrics, John Komlos, refers to the observation that the Plains Indians were the tallest in the world in the nineteenth century as the “Tall-but-Poor Anomaly.” But there is no anomaly here. It just shows that GDP per capita is a very poor measure of well-being. For example, between 1850 and 1890 GDP per capita, in inflation-adjusted dollars, increased by 130 percent, but the height of Americans fell by 2 cm. It’s not that Americans were becoming shorter as they were becoming richer. It was the top 1 percent who were becoming richer, while the 99 percent were becoming shorter.

So the Indians were nominally poor, but they lived in a way that only rich people can afford today. They exercised (riding them horses was a pretty good exercise!), ate grass-fed bison, supplemented by roots and berries (that’s paleo diet!), breathed fresh air, and drank uncontaminated water.
Today this kind of living is only within the reach of the very wealthy. Such as Mariel Hemingway and her boyfriend, the stuntman and actor Bobby Williams. Here’s Williams on the benefits of eating buffalo meat: “The stronger the animal, it’s going to be energetically better for you,”
Mariel Hemingway (51) and Bobby Williams (50) at home in Malibu, Calif. Source
OK, I don’t want to overdo how wonderful the life of Plains Indians was. Yes, they ate a healthy Paleo diet, and breathed fresh air. But they were also at a high risk of being killed in one of the innumerable clashes with hostile neighbors. And quite a few were captured and slowly tortured to death.

On a mission to travel the U.S. in her motor home, there was one comfort of living in a stationary abode that Susan Butler missed dearly.
Access to fresh food.

Instead of throwing out the surplus of produce, she wanted to donate the greens in creative ways to Atlanta area solidarity fridges.

IT’S A BEST BUY BECAUSE:
The redesigned Silverado offers a full range of models that combine class-leading capability and surprising refinement with good fuel economy.
Ride comfort and interior ergonomics, while good, can’t match those of the Ram 1500, which is also redesigned for 2019.
Full-time 4WD is available on all but the base WT (Work Truck) models, which offer part-time 4WD, and the optional 6.2-liter V8 is one of the most powerful engines available in the class.
WHAT IS IT?
The Silverado is Chevy’s full-size pickup, and it’s completely redesigned for 2019. As before, it’s available in regular cab, extended cab, and crew cab body styles with a range of engines and a choice of rear-wheel drive, part-time 4WD, and full-time 4WD. The new truck is larger in most every dimension (which notably benefits passenger and cargo room), but is also up to 450 pounds lighter than its predecessor. The broad model lineup ascends through Work Truck (WT), Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, and High Country trim levels. The RST is a “street performance” model, the Trail Boss models offer a 2-inch suspension lift and off-road-focused gear, and the High Country is a lavishly trimmed luxury model. Available safety features include forward collision warning with pedestrian detection and low-speed automatic braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, blind-spot alert, and rear cross-traffic alert.
The Silverado gets a plethora of newly available equipment with its redesign, such as new infotainment features, a rearview camera display in the rearview mirror, a 360-degree camera display, and a power-release tailgate. In addition to the carryover versions of the previous V6 and V8 engines, there is a new turbocharged 4-cyl engine, as well as a turbodiesel 6-cylinder that’s slated to arrive mid-year. Some 5.3-liter V8s and all 6.2-liter V8s get GM’s new Dynamic Fuel Management system, and the 6.2 now comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Since there are too many variations to list here, the following is a sampling of the Silverado’s existing EPA ratings (numbers for the turbo 4-cylinder and turbodiesel engines weren’t available as of this writing). The 2WD 5.3 V8 with the 8-speed transmission is rated at 17 mpg city/23 mpg highway, which bests the 15/21 rating for the 4WD 5.3 with the 6-speed. The 4WD 6.2-liter V8 with the 10-speed transmission is rated at 16/20. All gas engines can be run on regular-grade fuel, though Chevy recommends premium for the 6.2 for best performance.
VALUE IN CLASS
Since full-size pickups are among the most popular and lucrative categories in the U.S. automotive marketplace, the competition in this segment is fierce… and the battle is centered around delivering maximum power and capability while offering respectable fuel economy. A dizzying array of available luxury and technology features is also a competitive necessity. The new Silverado scores impressively high marks on all these fronts.
|BASE PRICE RANGE||$32,200 – $56,600|
|BODY STYLES||Regular, Extended, and Crew Cab|
|AVAILABLE ENGINES||285-HP, 4.3-Liter V6; 310-HP, Turbocharged 2.7-Liter 4-Cyl.; 355-HP, 5.3-Liter V8; 420-HP 6.2-Liter V8|
|DRIVE WHEELS||Rear or 4-Wheel Drive|

Ethiopian PM said to complain 4 war criminals among those airlifted to Israel
Israeli TV reports that Abiy Ahmed said military officers took part in a rebel massacre; airlifting of 800 others reportedly suspended, as Bennett calls meeting to set policy
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed angrily complained in a phone call with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett that Ethiopians brought to Israel in recent months during an intensifying war in the African country have included officers involved in war crimes, a report said Monday.
Channel 13 news cited a security source involved in the matter saying at least four officers — among the over 2,000 people brought to Israel over the past year — are suspected of taking part in rebel massacres in the Tigray region.
Pressure has been ramped up on Israel in recent weeks to bring thousands of members of Ethiopia’s Jewish community to Israel, as an insurgency by Tigray rebels intensified and neared the capital Addis Ababa. “We must continue to bring them over to Israel quickly,” President Isaac Herzog said last week.
The reported problems with the campaign have caused the airlift of 800 more people to be suspended, the network added, following a “difficult” meeting Monday morning between Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked and Immigrant Absorption Minister Pnina Tamano-Shata.
The Haaretz daily said Tamano-Shata, who herself is of Ethiopian descent, threatened Monday to quit her post if no more people are airlifted.
That report added that Bennett will convene a meeting in the coming days to establish policy on the matter. The meeting will be attended by Shaked, Tamano-Shata, and Defense Minister Benny Gantz.
The Channel 13 report said that those slated to be brought to Israel are in no immediate, concrete danger due to their Jewishness.
There may also be doubt as to whether they are all Jews, after Hebrew media reports said Sunday evening that dozens of Ethiopians participating in the secret operation may have misrepresented their Jewish ancestry and exaggerated the danger posed to them. An investigation by the Immigration and Population Authority raised “serious doubts” regarding the vast majority of a group of 61 Ethiopians brought to Israel over the last several months.
Members of the community involved in the effort denied the accusations, according to Channel 12 news, which also published an assessment from the National Security Council claiming that there was no urgency to airlift efforts.
Since fighting broke out a year ago, over 2,000 Ethiopian Jews have been brought to Israel in state-run operations, among them the group of 61, who needed ministers to sign off on their immigration because they are not part of the Jewish community, claiming only Jewish roots.
Though the plan to spirit them to Israel was put together during the tenure of former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it was the cabinet of his successor Naftali Bennett that signed off on it, Haaretz reported.
There are thought to be 7,000 to 12,000 Ethiopian community members still waiting to come to Israel, many of whom live in the Tigray region, at the heart of the conflict. Others, who left their villages years ago, eke out livings near the Jewish community centers in Gondar City and Addis Ababa. Many have been waiting for decades to immigrate.
While Ethiopian Jewish immigrants from the Beta Israel community are recognized as fully Jewish, immigrants from Ethiopia belonging to the smaller Falash Mura community are required to undergo Orthodox conversion after immigrating. The Falash Mura are Ethiopian Jews whose ancestors converted to Christianity, often under duress, generations ago. Some 30,000 of them have immigrated to Israel since 1997, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.
Because the Interior Ministry does not consider the Falash Mura to be Jewish, they cannot immigrate under the Law of Return, and therefore must get special permission from the government to move to Israel.

Ronald Marcus Leistiko of Tigard, Oregon was convicted yesterday for raping two craigslist escorts one of which was only 15-years-old. He also supplied alcohol and cocaine to the 15-year-old.
He claimed at trial that he didn’t remember the 25-year-old escort who he tackled and raped after she only agreed to a striptease.
He was acquitted of raping an 18-year-old who placed a personal ad that said she was lonely and wanted to meet men.
Leistiko almost seemingly bragged about all the sex he had through craigslist. I wonder how many of those alleged conquests were victims who didn’t come forward.
He’s looking at 26 years.

“Dear Kim, my extreme bad. Really embarrassed by my actions,” Charlie wrote the reality star. “I was already pissed about some other crap that had nothing to do with you. I heard a story that bothered me. Wrote some trash you didn’t deserve. Ever. I’m an idiot as often as I’m a genius. That day, clearly I was the former.”
The temperamental actor signed off on his apology with the hashtag #ShutUpSheen.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Sheen blasted Kardashian as a “jiggly bag of funk” after he said she snubbed a six-year-old’s request for an autograph. The veteran actor said he learned of the starlet’s slight last month from Soul Man star C. Thomas Howell, and he noted that few people were around when Kardashian blew off the request and asked her assistant to handle it.
Neither Kim nor Kanye has addressed the harsh barbs that included as the 49-year-old actor telling the 34-year-old reality star to go “f yourself,” or sniping, “My apologies to your hubby, great guy I’m sure, I hope his vision returns one day.”
Sheen even told one outlet that the socialite is “a pox on the face of entertainment” with no “gratitude, “awareness” or “talent.”
Was Charlie right to apologize for his rant or did Kim deserve the digs? Sound off in the comments below.

Pectolase – What Is It?21/10/2022
Short Brewing – What Is It?23/10/2022
Finings – A ‘Cloudy’ Judgement Call!
What Are Finings?
Finings are substances that are usually added at or near the completion of the processing of brewing wine, beer, some ‘washes’ and various non-alcoholic juice beverages. Some are a one-part fining and have a single active ingredient. Others are a two-part fining and have two ingredients. There are a number of different fining agents, including some that are suitable for vegetarians and/or vegans.
What Do Finings Do?
Finings are processing aids added to your brew to remove yeast and protein haze; i.e. the cloudy look in what you have made. During fermentation yeast cells and proteins form a colloidal suspension that appears as a haze. A colloidal suspension forms when very small, charged particles are suspended in a liquid making it look cloudy.
Do I Have To Use Finings?
The choice is yours and it depends on how much you care about the clarity of what you are making. If you are after clear or cloud free liquid, then using finings is one very easy trick to help you with that goal.
What Are Finings Made Of?
There are various different agents for fining and it is the use of animal-derived products, such as egg whites or milk casein, which can prevent the end product being marketed as vegan. That is not to say that there are not vegan friendly options also. In general the common fining agents include gelatine, isinglass (aka fish bladder), egg whites, casein, bentonite, carbon. Irish moss (aka ‘protafloc tablets’), a type of carrageenan seaweed, is often added to the boil to help reduce protein haze. This is often referred to as ‘silicated’ or ‘vegan finings’. They aren’t quite as effective as isinglass however still can produce the desired outcome.

The Plot: David Dunn, a security guard, tracks down Kevin Crumb, a dangerous guy with 24 personalities who has kidnapped a group of teenager girls. But both are caught by the police and taken to a psychiatric hospital, where Elijah Price is also incarcerated. The three of them believe they have supernatural powers and Dr. Ellie Staple will try to change their minds.
The Movie: For his next supernatural opus, director and writer M. Night Shyamalan mixes the characters of his UNBREAKABLE and SPLIT. The result is a dramatic super-hero movie with elements of thriller and horror. It’s a good and interesting, but the two previous movies were better and more intense. Anyway, it has an original approach to the world of super-heroes and it’s very entertaining.
More than special effects and action scenes, the focus is on the characters and the cast is perfect. Repeating their previous characters, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Anya Taylor-Joy, Spencer Treat Clark and, specially, James McAvoy give their best and it’s a true show of their talent abilities. McAvoy, with his multiple personalities, is even better here than he was in SPLIT; he is simply brilliant! New to the story is Dr. Ellis Staple, to whom Sarah Paulson gives an intense and kind of mysterious life.
If you enjoy great performances and a little bit of fantasy, this one is up your alley.

Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval announced the resignation of state public schools superintendent Dr. James Guthrie Friday.
Guthrie handed in his resignation Friday. He was appointed superintendent by Sandoval in March of last year.
Guthrie was the first appointed superintendent. Previously, superintendents were chosen by the State Board of Education.
In a statement, the governor thanked Guthrie for his service and wished him well.
Deputy Superintendent for Teaching and Learning Rorie Fitzpatrick will serve as interim superintendent.
Guthrie irked Democrats on legislative money committees earlier this month when he said class size shouldn’t be a concern. Democrats have put class size near the top of their priority lists for fixing problems with Nevada education.


(Dodge County) Wisconsin health officials are reporting 4,078 positive coronavirus cases in Tuesday’s daily update. There are 68,406 active cases in the state, a decrease of 368 from Monday. Active cases make up 17.5-percent of the 391-thousand people who have tested positive to date. So far, there have been 319-thousand recoveries.
The state reported a record 107 deaths bringing that total to 3,420. An increase was expected, as reporting caught up after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The Department of Health Services clarified that this is the date the death was reported to public health agencies, not the date of death. Deaths account for point-nine-percent of all cases in Wisconsin while 4.4-percent of those known to have contracted the virus needed to be hospitalized.

If you're looking for a natural alternative to Lipitor and other drugs that lower cholesterol, you may want to consider the avocado leaf.
The avocado leaf is native to Central America and has been used for centuries in medicinal applications.
The avocado leaf has been shown in numerous studies to be a more potent and effective option than Lipitor for lowering cholesterol levels.
One such study was done by various doctors and scientists which will be discussed below. The current patent focuses on techniques and formulations for reducing cholesterol levels using avocado leaves and leaf extracts.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in the blood, and it is produced by the liver. Cholesterol contributes to plaque buildup in arteries, which can cause heart disease.
Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a drug that lowers cholesterol levels by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. Lipitor is used to treat high cholesterol and prevent strokes, heart attacks, and other heart problems caused by atherosclerosis. The active ingredient in Lipitor is statins. Statins are a group of drugs used to treat high cholesterol. However, the side effects associated with Lipitor can be intolerable for some people.
The Avocado Leaf: A Supplement That Can Reduce Cholesterol
Is there a natural alternative to Lipitor?
New research has found that avocado leaves contain agents that lower total cholesterol levels.
For this study, avocado leaves were collected from avocado trees growing in Central California. The dried leaves were milled and prepared for consumption as tea. According to this patent, conducted by researchers, it has now been confirmed that avocado leaves contain agents that lower total cholesterol levels. The researchers concluded that compositions containing avocado leaf and avocado leaf extracts are believed to be natural alternatives to LIPITOR® and other prescription drugs.
Avocado leaves were dehydrated, milled, and prepared for consumption as tea. Surprisingly, they showed a cholesterol-lowering effect comparable to LIPITOR® and a much greater cholesterol-lowering effect than the fruit and leaves of other avocado varieties commonly grown in North America.
The results showed that the avocado leaf tea significantly reduced total cholesterol levels in rats after only two weeks of treatment. The researchers observed that the total cholesterol levels had dropped by 30% at a dose of 400 ug ml. These results are comparable to those obtained from LIPITOR®, which is a commonly prescribed cholesterol-lowering drug used by millions of people around the world every day.
Conclusion of the Study
Lipitor might be the most prescribed drug in the world, but it's not the only option. Researchers have discovered that if you consume the avocado leaf, you can lower your cholesterol levels.
The patent was studied by the world's renowned doctors and scientists. They found that it can lower LDL cholesterol, raise HDL cholesterol and increase good cholesterol (HDL). The study also showed that this leaf is a natural alternative to Lipitor.

With invested assets of over €600 billion, ABP is the largest pension fund in the Netherlands. In recent years, it has focused more on green investments, but still retains a sizeable fossil portfolio. According to the researchers, holding an entirely green portfolio over the last five years would have given a better return. It would have been €25.9 billion wealthier.
“The most important message is that there is no reason for ABP not to get out of fossil fuels and invest more in sustainable companies,” the researchers conclude. ABP announced last year that it wants to slowly phase out investments in fossil fuels and aims for a climate-neutral investment portfolio by 2050. Fossil Free NL will be protesting on 25 June at the ABP offices in Amsterdam and Heerlen.

City council is asking for public input on a request to replace four homes on Second Street with one large modular-built apartment complex containing 60 suites.
Council gave first reading on a bylaw amendment, which proposes to change the zoning of the four homes, extending south on Second Street from the east corner at Prairie Avenue, from R2 residential semi-detached to CBD-C, which is Central Business District by contract.
This would allow for the construction of an apartment complex to the standards set for the downtown area, which will see up to 60 units replacing the four homes currently in that location, near the Court House and McKenna Hall.
The downtown area has seen several apartment structures built in recent years, and much of the surrounding land use is designated as R3, which accommodates higher-density infill development in older areas. This part of Weyburn is designated as the East Central Residential Neighbourhood, which recognizes primarily residential use but recognizes that the downtown area will continue to expand, and the downtown fringe area will continue to be pushed further to the north and east.
The homes to be replaced are 322, 326, 332 and 338 Second Street, and developer Kevin O'Brien told council he wants to engage Guerdon Modular of Boise, Idaho, and Wilhelm Construction to build and project manage the development of the apartment building.
In information provided to the city's director of planning and development, Martino Verhaeghe, the developer received feedback from the neighbouring churches in the area of this development, and "we feel there is a need for higher-end condos geared to seniors transitioning from single-family home and farms, who want to live in town, do not want to drive and can easily walk to health care, shopping, etc. Without any advertising, we get numerous calls every month from seniors who are members of neighbouring churches asking if we are building condos. We feel while there may be a surplus of condos today, by the time our project is complete, any surplus will be absorbed."
The proposed design for this apartment is "The Strathmore", which is a high-end condo development in Regina and the developer feels this would be a fit for the Second Street location in Weyburn.
Speaking to the proposal, Coun. Dick Michel commented on the glut of condos in the city currently.
"There are lots of condos in the city. I get questioned by people, 'is there a glut of condos in Weyburn?' I know of around 50 condo units in Weyburn that are vacant. If you think there's a market for it, that's fine, but the public has to know what's going on at that location, potentially," he said.
Coun. Mel Van Betuw said he questions the planned lack of a setback for the apartment, for that area of the city, and noted the Regina location of the Strathmore has quite a bit of landscaped property as setback.
"It's not a commercial-looking building," he added.
O'Brien said he and his partners are flexible about any changes to the plans that the city might like to see.
"I would really think the public should give us feedback on this. This proposal looks and feels a little different," said Mayor Debra Button, who asked the public to send in any comments or emails to council if they have concerns about this proposed development. The matter will be brought back to council on Monday, July 21, to allow time for public comments.
City council also gave first reading to a proposal from Riverwood Development to allow for secondary suites in duplexes or semi-detached dwellings.
Currently the zoning bylaw will only allow for a secondary suite in the basement of a detached home; the developers are asking for a textual amendment to the bylaw to allow for secondary suites in semi-detached dwellings.
"With the current housing prices rising exponentially, buyers are looking for alternatives to own their home, and having the ability to rent a secondary suite will allow for a larger segment of the population to afford to carry a mortgage," said a letter from Munir Haque, development manager for Riverwood Development.
In Phase 1 of Riverwood, the developers are proposing, as a pilot project, to build four duplexes on land originally set up as three residential lots for detached dwellings. The developer feels this would also help the city in providing some rental units to be available for local residents, and will allow for more affordable home ownership.
The four duplexes are proposed for Saskatchewan Drive just east of the existing SaskPower training facility.
"As of yet, due to the existing bylaw, this is untested market within Weyburn for this housing option. So there is no market study that we can use to support this proposal, other than the city's own needs assessments that indicate general shortage of housing," said the letter to the city, pointing out this is based on successful use in Fort McMurray, Alta., where a housing shortage was also in place.
Haque told council that running this as a pilot project would help the city to determine if this would be a feasible project to allow.
"We think this will add to the city-scape as you go through Saskatchewan Drive," he added, noting the plan is to make the suite a fully-independent basement suite.
In one design provided, the home overall would have 2,100 square feet of space, with upper floor to have 1,332 sq.ft. and the basement suite to have 775 sq.ft.
Asked if these would be ready-to-move (RTM) developments, Haque noted these would "stick-built", as in built on-site from the ground up, not modular.
"If there's an opportunity to build more of them, we'll work with a modular develop, and we'll make sure they fit in with the community," said Haque.
Council approved a request from the Silver Seals speed-swimming club to use the parking lot at the Leisure Centre for camping purposes, as they prepare to host the speed-swimming provincials here on July 26-27.
The approval was subject to a couple of conditions, including that a parking plan be drawn up, and that they be responsible for providing their own refuse bin for the use of the campers.
In a letter to the city, Silver Seals president Darin Bitz noted this provincial event averages over 150 participants plus family members; they asked for use of the parking lot from the evening of Friday, July 25 to the afternoon of Sunday, July 27.
Other organizations like Minor Ball and Minor Soccer indicated they foresee no problem with this use of the parking lot, and police chief Marlo Pritchard agreed from the city police's point of view.
In other council news, Mayor Debra Button left Tuesday for Calgary, to represent the city at the biennial Petroleum Show, along with Chamber of Commerce representatives.

Two crucial features to look for in LIMS software are robust data management capabilities and efficient sample organization.
Effective data management is crucial for laboratories to efficiently track and analyze samples. LIMS software should have the ability to store and manage large amounts of data, including sample information, test results, and any associated documents or notes. The software should also allow for easy retrieval and analysis of this data, enabling researchers to quickly access and interpret the information they need.
Sample organization is another critical feature to consider. LIMS software should provide a system for organizing and categorizing samples in a way that is intuitive and user-friendly. This may include the ability to assign unique identifiers to samples, track their location within the laboratory, and easily search and retrieve specific samples when needed. An efficient sample organization system can greatly enhance laboratory efficiency by reducing the time and effort required to locate and manage samples.
Implementing LIMS Software for Streamlined Sample Tracking
To streamline sample tracking, the implementation of LIMS software is essential. Research labs can greatly benefit from implementing LIMS software to improve efficiency and accuracy in sample tracking processes. LIMS software provides a centralized and automated system that allows researchers to effectively manage and track samples from collection to analysis.
By implementing LIMS software in research labs, the manual and labor-intensive tasks associated with sample tracking can be significantly reduced. LIMS software enables researchers to easily record and track sample information, such as sample location, storage conditions, and analysis history.

Standardized protocols are essential for improving efficiency and ensuring accuracy in sample tracking processes. By establishing a set of guidelines and procedures that are consistently followed, laboratories can streamline their operations and minimize errors.
To begin with, it is crucial to develop a standardized naming convention for samples and their associated data. This convention should be easy to understand and follow, allowing for clear identification and tracking of each sample throughout its lifecycle. Additionally, implementing barcode or RFID technology can greatly enhance sample tracking accuracy by automating data entry and reducing the risk of human error.
Furthermore, it is recommended to establish standardized workflows for sample processing and analysis. This includes defining the steps involved, assigning responsibilities to specific individuals, and setting clear timelines for completion. By having a standardized workflow in place, laboratories can ensure that samples are processed consistently and efficiently, reducing turnaround times and improving overall efficiency.
Regular training and education on the standardized protocols should also be provided to all personnel involved in sample tracking. This ensures that everyone is aware of the procedures and understands their importance in maintaining accuracy and efficiency. Additionally, regular audits and quality control checks should be conducted to identify any deviations or areas for improvement in the implementation of standardized protocols.
Choosing the Right LIMS Software Provider for Sample Tracking
To continue the discussion on optimizing sample tracking with LIMS software, it is imperative to carefully select a reputable LIMS software provider for efficient sample tracking processes. Choosing the right provider can greatly impact the success and effectiveness of your sample tracking system.

Blue Bell, health officials agree on terms to resume selling ice cream
Texas health officials outline requirements, milestones for company
SAN ANTONIO – Texas health officials on Thursday finalized with Blue Bell Creameries the steps the company must take before it can resume selling ice cream from its Brenham plant.
Blue Bell shut down its three creameries in late April after Listeria was discovered in some ice cream products.
According to a news release from the Texas Department of State Health Services, the company must notify the health agency at least two weeks of its intent prior to producing ice cream for sale so that health officials can conduct a full assessment of the company's progress and test results.
Blue Bell must also conduct trial production runs that will be tested separately by DSHS and the company for Listeria, the release stated.
The products must consistently test negative before they can be distributed to the public, the release stated. A trial run with negative test results must occur for each production line before the line can begin making ice cream for sale.
There was no immediate word from Blue Bell when it planned to resume ice cream production.

This is the card I created for my Sugar Creek Hollow post this week. We had a color challenge using very vanilla, bayou blue, soft sky and chocolate chip. I had to improvise on the colors, so I hope this is close enough. I made a tent card so I could showcase my dad better. I embossed some of my card stock and distressed all the edges. Some of the edges were also sponged with distressed ink.
I adhered the sentiment to a die cut which looked like the perfect belt buckle, complete with "silver" studs. I was so excited to complete my Father's Day card early!
Thanks for visiting and be sure to go to the Sugar Creek Hollow blog and check out my team member's fabulous creations!

The Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga has today opened a four-day international conference for eye doctors (ophthalmologists) from Asia, USA, Europe and African countries at Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort in Kampala.
Speaker after speaker in the conference made a passionate appeal to African governments to increase funding to the health sector to close the glaring gaps of inadequate specialized doctors.
The president of Uganda Ophthalmology Society Dr. Grace Ssali Nsibirwa had informed the participants that many African countries including Uganda have very few specialized doctors with Uganda having only 40 ophthalmologists attending to close to 40million people.
The chairperson of the conference Dr. Anne Ampaire Musika, who works with Makerere University's College of Health Sciences, reported that 5 out of the 15 regional hospitals which include Kabaale, Masaka, Mubende, Hoima, and the whole of Karamoja do not have a single eye specialist.
"Because we have inadequate ophthalmologists in the country, it means that roughly, each one of us has to attend to over one million people and yet the desired international target is that at least each should be attending to 250,000 people."
In their report, conference conveners attributed the low levels of specialized doctors to very limited government support for training and funding to eye care professionals.
The newly elected COECSA president Dr. Ibrahim Matende from South Africa who has taken over from Dr. Hassan Kunle from Nigeria, urged African governments to fund efforts to increase eye specialists and other specialized doctors if they care about the lives of their citizens.
Both Kadaga and the state minister for health Sarah Opendi emphasized the need for increased funding for training specialized doctors and increase their remuneration.
Kadaga argued that without government addressing the inadequate number of specialized doctors and other manpower requirements in the country; it would not be possible for vision 2020 and vision 2040 to be achieved.
The speaker cited a recent incident in which she was shocked that learn that over 24 districts in Eastern Uganda are served by only two neurosurgeons.
All speakers from Uganda (Kadaga, Opendi, Dr. Ssali and Dr. Ampaire) implored the 700 delegates who are attending the conference to tour the various tourism sites in Uganda to appreciate the saying that Uganda is the pearl of Africa.

A saw can be a really handy thing to have in the woods. You can use a hatchet and a knife for a lot of stuff, but there are some things that a saw just does better. There are many different kinds of survival type saws ranging from the very small to the fairly large. I always, repeat, always have a saw with me. In the woods, at work, at the grocery store; I have a saw with me. Now you may thing that I look like a real wingnut carrying a saw everywhere, but the fact is it's not even noticeable. You see, I'm talking about the saw blade on my Swiss Army Knife. It's small, but it is so very, very useful. I use my saw to cut arrow shafts, I use it to cut bamboo for bundle bows, I use it to cut the nocks in arrow shafts, I use it cut out bone needles and fish hooks, and many other things. Here are a few of the different kinds of survival saws that are available today:
As mentioned above there are several different kinds of small saws that can be carried in you pocket at all times. Several models of the Swiss Army Knife, and similar type knives, have a saw blade attached that is very useful for small jobs. Many multi-tools have saw blades. Be aware that the quality and functionality of these blades vary widely. The Swiss Army knife, for example, has a good quality blade made of good steel. The blade also functions smoothly without binding up in the cut. I have a less expensive copy of a Swiss knife that does not work well at all. The steel is good enough but the spine of the blade is wider than the cutting edge. This causes the blade to bind after you have cut a little way through a limb. I would suggest that you spend the extra money and get the real thing. Multi-tool saw blades also vary widely in quality. I have a Leatherman that works quite well, but I have seen others that are not so good. Pictured below: Swiss Army Knife and Leatherman Multi-Tool
I keep a little wire saw in my survival kit. A wire saw is basically a piece of flexible, heavy gauge wire that has serrations in it. The wire has a metal ring attached to each end where you can grip the ends and saw back and forth with the wire. I have cut down some fairly good sized trees with a wire saw, maybe eight inches in diameter. I have also had wire saws break while in use, so I wouldn't say they are intended for any kind of regular or long-term use. One thing I can tell you from experience is to not try and use a wire saw by sticking you fingers through the rings. This is very tough on the fingers. the best way to use a wire saw is to get a couple of sticks that will fit through the rings and then grip the sticks. Much easier on the fingers. Pictured below: wire saw
Folding saws work very well but they are not convenient to carry. They generally need to be carried in a belt holster or inside of a pack. They are also relatively heavy compared to the saws mentioned above. The only time I carry a folding saw is when I know I will need it for a specific task. For example, if I am going out into the woods to cut some saplings or to work on one of my trails, I'll carry my folding saw. Otherwise it stays in my truck. Pictured below: folding saw
There are several different types of non-folding saws that can be carried in a sheath on your belt. I don't personally own one of these because it's not something that I would carry. It might work for you if you use a saw a lot.
Survival Saws as a Component of Another Tool
Some sheath knives and machetes have saw teeth cut into their spines. If a sheath knife or a machete is something that you carry anyway, why not make it multi-purpose by having a saw blade on it. The Southern Forest that I live in becomes very dense in the summer; almost like a tropical jungle. In the summer I always carry a machete when I'm in the woods. I used a file to cut saw teeth into the spine of my machete so that it can double as a saw. Pictured below: Two views of my machete with homemade saw blade
I have a couple of little folding shovels that have saw teeth on one side of the blade. I never carry a shovel unless I know specifically that I will need it, so the saws rarely get used. Neither of the ones I have are very good as saws, but then again they are not the highest quality shovels that you can buy. Pictured below: Folding shovel with saw-tooth edge
In summary, I think that the most practical survival saws are the saw blade on a folding knife or multi-tool, the wire saw, or the saw-tooth back of a sheath knife. Other types of survival saws are functional but not particularly convenient to carry.

Jettable fluid delivery and other MEM devices are being exposed to more extreme environments. These packages rely on polymeric materials as structural adhesives for various substrates. These polymer materials also provide protection from mechanical shock; extreme thermal cycles, and can withstand long exposure to harsh chemical environments of the jetting fluids. This paper will compare performance of acrylate, epoxy and silicone adhesives with exposure to the harsh environments of solvent, aqueous, UV and hot melt inks. Physical properties of the adhesives will be monitored before and after exposure to the inks.

Shrewsbury’s appeal as a quirky, one-off destination took centre stage today as Shrewsbury BID prepared to celebrate national Independents’ Day on Saturday 4 July. A giant red handbag was unveiled in St Alkmund’s Place, encouraging shoppers to enjoy the breadth and scale of the town’s independent offer and ‘shop local’ this summer.
Over 400 independents trade within the town from boutiques and small shops to artisan suppliers, restaurants, bars and family businesses – an illustration of the spirit of enterprise and individuality which thrives in the maze of Shrewsbury’s shopping streets.
The giant handbag is part of a campaign being staged by Shrewsbury BID which features prize giveaways on a summer theme through its social media sites and on the website. Over ten days, £500 worth of prizes from local businesses can be won.
Courtesy of Shrewsbury BID, ice cream will also be given out on Independents’ Day by the town’s favourite ice cream man, Ted Bowen, from his vintage cart.
Shrewsbury BID is also launching a new free magazine to showcase the town’s social scene of bars, restaurants, pubs, cinema and theatre to encourage more people to enjoy and support its night time economy. Over 55,000 copies are being distributed.
The summer initiative also features a ‘Love Sundays’ poster and advertising campaign to boost visitor numbers, promoting the new £1 tariff to park all day on Sundays in Shrewsbury. The offer applies to car parks owned by Shropshire Council and privately owned car parks.
Kirsten Henly, Shrewsbury BID Manager, said: ““The town has a real spirit of individuality and pride in the calibre and diversity of its independents and July 4th provides us with the ideal opportunity to join a national initiative to celebrate the important role they play in our economy, helping us to stand out as a town offering a genuinely unique shopping, dining and heritage experience.”
Independents’ Day is a national campaign to celebrate the diversity of the high street and the significance of independent retailers

CMAS 4.5: Release Highlights
Workbench GUI supports linear homogenization analysis
CMAS was available only in a GUI environment of Ansys "Mechanical APDL" that is operating environment for specialists, in previous version. In the new version 4.5 of CMAS, it is available in "Ansys Workbench" that has excellent operability and is an operating environment for designers (linear homogenization analysis only). This allows carrying out of a multi-scale analysis easily without the need for special operation education to the current users of Ansys Workbench.
Using the unique features possessed by the Ansys Workbench enables uses, such as "material library management," "robust meshing/modeling," and "various CAD interfaces," etc. in a multi-scale analysis.
Especially, it is possible to predict the eventual impact on the products when modifying the geometric information at the material structure level, such as "Young's modulus with respect to the orientation angle of the fibers" and "characteristics of the thermal conductivity with respect to the volume fraction of the filler" etc., in a short period of time by using parametric analysis.
The main features of CMAS of the Ansys Workbench edition
- Multiple modeling templates
- Report output of an equivalent property value
- Automatic registration of engineering data
- Contour vector display of numerical material test
Micro modeling templates of multiple particle dispersion
Modeling template to create a model efficiently with respect to the distribution of microstructure particles of different sizes is newly added in creation and modification tool Ansys DesignModeler. Previously, it had been ideally assumed that particles of the same size are arranged uniformly. Since this template was implemented, we can perform the homogenization analysis with a more complex microstructure that consist of mixed various sized particles by modeling closely.
＊Ansys DesignModeler is required in order to perform the homogenization analysis in the Ansys Workbench environment. Please contact us for more information.
Linear homogenization analysis of the temperature dependence
If temperature dependence is present on a material consisting of the micro model such as fiber or resin, the ability to output the equivalent property value as temperature dependency has been added.

Hiro comes to, again, and gets to his feet. He sees his past? Future? self pop out, and then goes up to Ando and tells him in frustration that time travel won't work with this guy, so they need to... hide and wait for him to get back. Ando rolls his entire torso along with his eyes.
Oh, dear. Doyle's got the three prisoners seated around a table with a gun atop it, and you don't have to be a genius to figure this is going to be Russian roulette or some variation thereof. I wonder if he'll make the puppets play too. Claire vehemently starts to ask what he wants, but Doyle cracks me up: "What I want, Barbie, is not to be interrupted." Hee. Introducing Regenerative Barbie! You'll never have to worry about broken-off arms or legs again! Doyle goes on that since she's so eager, she can take the first spin, and when the gun ends up pointing between Sandra and Meredith, he tells her she has to choose whom to shoot. Horrified, she says she can't, but he makes her raise the gun, although at the moment it's still pointed between her mothers. Sandra tells him to leave her alone, and he snaps in response, "What are you, her mother?" Sandra doesn't reply, but her eyes say, "Yer darn tootin'," which delights Doyle to no end. He asks who, then, Meredith is in the equation. "Sexy, free spirit...oh! You're the fun aunt, right?" The thought of Meredith and Sandra growing up together is almost enough to take me out of this scene entirely. But not quite, as Doyle has Claire point the gun at Sandra, who keeps her composure admirably, and then Meredith, who promises she'll love Doyle forever. I think she's trying to save all their skins, not just her own, but it's irrelevant, as he doesn't believe her, and he forces Claire to pull the trigger -- but it's a blank. After some funny, "oh, shoot" faces from him, Doyle says it's Sandra's turn to spin, and this time, the gun ends up pointing squarely at Claire. This is of course the outcome the three of them are hoping for, but Doyle doesn't know that, so he tells "Barbie" (still funny) that these might be her final words, so she should make them count. Sandra and Claire both cry as Claire says it's okay -- she can't fight it, so she should do what she needs to do. "Pull the trigger." Sandra finally says she will, and shoots a blank -- and a blank -- and then the real thing, sending Claire falling to the floor. Doyle's pleased as punch as he stands over her "corpse," but when he turns back and starts gloating about how fun that was, Claire bonks him on the head from behind. Too bad NeoIsaac wasn't around to let him know that was coming. Claire: "Show's over." I think Rainier Wolfcastle should sue, because that definitely sounds like something he would say. Still: Badass Barbie! Coming soon to a store near you!

New Delhi, July 01, 2023.
Since 2008, India has won four U-19 World Cup titles out of eight. In those tournaments, apart from few outstanding talents with the ball, it is the fast bowlers who have got not just India, but even someone like Ian Bishop genuinely excited. But so far, out of the 34 pacers who have featured in those eight U-19 World Cups, only eight have graduated to the international level, with Jaydev Unadkat being the lone one to feature in Test cricket. Having made his debut in 2010, he had to wait another 12 years for his next Test. Unlike the pacers, more and more batsmen have made smoothless transition with the likes of Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Prithvi Shaw, Shubman Gill all featuring in Test cricket and tasting success. In a fortnight, you can also add Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was part of the 2020 U-19 team, to the list as he looks set to debut in the Test against West Indies.
Apart from featuring regularly in the domestic circuit, these seamers have also generated interest among IPL franchises. In every IPL auction, on the basis of their performance in the U-19 World Cup that more or less happens just before the player auctions, or through the course of it, they have managed to get lucrative deals. But on field, they haven’t been able to generate as much success as they would have hoped. It has taken them a few years under their belt in domestic circuit before even having a notable success in the IPL, but even there the examples are very few. Siddarth Kaul had done well for Sunrisers Hyderabad when they won the title. Sandeep Sharma, with a lethal inswinger in armour, has good numbers in the IPL and last season came up matured as a death bowler. Harshal Patel, with different versions of slower balls in his kitty, is one Royal Challengers Bangalore bank on regularly and it even landed him a spot in the T20 World Cup. Among them, Unadkat, a veteran of 101 first-class matches, has over the years gone for big money at the IPL auctions, but in the 13 seasons that he has featured, has played more than 10 matches in a single edition only on four occasions. On the other hand, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, who haven’t for a long run in the senior India team, are not just regulars, but also consistent at the IPL.

Today I cut into an old faded pair of pants to make this inset strip. The dots in the pants are almost the same color as the sheet and the pants leg was almost the same length as the robe. So it was like it had to be.
There was something sad about unpicking the center back seam though. i think I’ll feel happier once the inset is stitched in.
The wooden floor in my bedroom makes a very nice surface for laying out the cloth and cutting.
And the dowel over the sconce light makes a nifty hanging device.

SRT’s youth services gets boost from the state’s Youth Access Program grant, expands access to nature in underserved communities
VISALIA – Sequoia Riverlands Trust’s education program was one of 65 programs to be awarded with the state’s Youth Access Program grant to expand access to cultural and natural resources for youth in underserved communities.
The $300,000 grant from Cal Resources will help fund youth projects and programs over the next three years. Part of the funding will be used to establish a Youth Advisory Council as well. The funding will be a welcome addition to what Sequoia Riverlands Trust (SRT) currently offers: educational programs for youth like field trips, after-school programs, reserve tours and monthly hikes.
“SRT is very pleased and grateful for these essential resources that will be used to encourage young people to get outside and experience the benefits of access to natural places,” said SRT Education and Volunteer Director Bud Darwin. “Physical, emotional, and mental health improvements are among the many upsides of getting kids outside.”Tulare County’s high poverty rate means limited access to outdoor recreation and education for many children of low-income families, which the grant program is designed to address.
Sixty-five programs across the state will be the recipients of the Youth Community Access Program grant, which aims to expand access to parks and nature for youth in underserved communities. $14.9 million, funded by the Prop 64 cannabis tax, will be given to the programs over three years. Awards are prioritized for communities disproportionately affected by past federal and state drug policies.
“SRT is grateful for the opportunity to improve the lives and experiences of our region’s next generation with this new support,” said Logan Robertson Huecker, SRT Executive Director. “SRT’s dedicated stewardship of these necessary resources will mean effective use of these funds to better the lives of Tulare County residents.”
