Camera Jibs & Cranes
A camera jib or Crane is an extension that is useful for getting high angles or shots that need to move a long distances horizontally or vertically. The camera sits on one end with a counter weight and camera controls on the other. The balance point is positioned close to the counterweight, allowing the camera end to move through an extended arc.
Remote Camera Operations
A jib or Crane is often mounted on tripod legs, which can also be put onto a dolly system. As the camera operator cannot physically touch the camera, the camera is often used in conjunction with a remote control for zoom or focus.

“I think there are long-held prejudices that people have that they may not even realize they have,” Sparrow said.
Some in the South Bay have argued that latent prejudice has presented itself in a double standard in how officials are treated in the judicial system.
Carlos said he doesn’t believe Republican Dumanis is prosecuting the group — 12 of whom are Hispanic Democrats — because of their race or political affiliation. But he understands where some might question the difference in how the South County cases are being handled compared to other officials, such as former North County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price.
Slater-Price accepted free tickets while dispensing grants to the opera and the Old Globe Theatre. After The Watchdog revealed she failed to report the gifts on state forms, she was given a $2,000 administrative fine in 2010.
Slater-Price’s beneficiaries were charities, as opposed to for-profit companies. And prosecutors in South County are gathering evidence of quid pro quo arrangements. But Carlos said the parallel of taking entertainment while giving government largesse is there.
“It’s the same conduct,” Carlos said. “It’s crazy. If it is illegal for someone, it should be illegal for everyone. Apparently, however, that is not the case.”
The feeling of a double standard may have driven some of the voters who re-elected Lopez and Quiñones to the Sweetwater board, Carlos said.
“I think people are smart enough to see what she is being accused of,” Carlos said of Quiñones.
Salas said while she doesn’t believe the case is a conspiracy, she hopes Dumanis’ public integrity unit will probe other school districts.
“We are a very diverse community, and we are way beyond that type of thinking in California and San Diego,” she said, “but it seems to me that the kind of problems that we are facing here are something that his happening countywide, and there does seem to be an extraordinary focus on South Bay.”
Officials with the DA’s office released a statement saying there is no bias or prejudice in their selections.
“We do not look at ethnicity or political affiliation when we investigate or prosecute crimes,” the statement said. “Any suggestion as such is contrary to our mission of pursuing truth and justice.”
‘First step in long process’
Not everyone in the community sees the current case as a conspiracy against Hispanic Democrats or against the South Bay. There are some like Alex Anguiano, president of the Sweetwater Education Association, who believe that the charges were long overdue.
“It’s the first step in a long process,” Anguiano said. “Hopefully one that will end up bettering our district. It is time for the corruption that has become synonymous with Sweetwater to end.”
At a Monday San Ysidro School District board meeting, where the board discussed whether to fire Superintendent Paul amid the charges against him, several members of the public said an end to corruption is long overdue.
“Specific individuals have taken liberty with their positions, and that’s what it is about. At the end of the day, the actions of the DA speak for themselves,” said Angelo Scolari, who attended the meeting. “It’s similar to what used to happen in Tammany Hall. This is Tamale Hall.”
In its statement for this story, the DA’s office suggested that prosecutions in the works may focus on other areas of the county.
“These types of investigations and prosecutions take a vast amount of time and resources, which means it will take time before the public can see that our focus is not limited to one area of the county,” the statement said.

Supermassive Games Has Started Work On Its Next Standalone Horror Game
Supermassive Games has started work on its next standalone horror game and is expecting it to release by 2026.
Just a few months ago, Supermassive Games released its first standalone horror game in seven years, The Quarry, something that it'll then follow up with the next game in the Dark Pictures Anthology, The Devil In Me, later in the year. If that sounds like a lot then you might be surprised to learn that it's already working on the next big thing.
During an interview with VGC, Supermassive Games' studio director Will Byles confirmed that the team has started work on its next standalone horror game and gave some brief details about it, including that it's expected to release in 2025 or 2026, and that it might not focus on teen horror like The Quarry and Until Dawn.
Byles said, "We’ve started working on [the next game]. “I can’t really tell you very much at all about it, but we have started. Again, it’s the same sort of horror genre, we’re sticking to that. It’s equivalent in size to The Quarry… and that’s about as much as I can say without giving too much away."
Although he didn't give any details on what to expect from the next game, Byles did imply that it's going to be different to both The Dark Pictures Anthology games and The Quarry. He said, "The Dark Pictures explores hundreds of variants of the horror genre. What we’re looking at now, and I can’t tell you exactly what it is, is a bit of a diversion away from that sort of standard, but it’s still very much classic horror… I don’t know how far we can stretch the teen horror thing out further, because especially when we try to stir it up, the number of surprises you can add to that becomes limited."
When asked if there's going to be as big of a gap between the next game and The Quarry, which was seven years, Byles said that it's looking closer to four years, giving a release window of "2025, or maybe 2026".

As you start regularly putting out content, you’ll hopefully start to build a bit of an audience. But to start seeing real money from YouTube you need to market your videos elsewhere. Share your channel on Twitter and Facebook. Distribute videos anywhere else you can think of. Also, interact with comments and build a community around the videos you’re making so people will share it with their friends.
Swagbucks remains popular as they are a reliable site, offering novel ways to earn rewards, including playing games and watching videos. Completing polls and surveys for money takes around 10 minutes each and can make up the bulk of your time on the site. You won’t always qualify, and getting to a late stage in a survey application process and then finding out you’re not qualified can be pretty galling. The slickly designed website is straightforward and pleasing to use and also allows you to make money on your shopping by offering a range of affiliate links. By simply clicking on the Swagbucks link and shopping at sites including Amazon, Walmart and Nike, you will earn points, as those companies are paying Swagbucks to link to them, and you get a share of their fee.
I reside in Jamaica and I am at a disadvantage in securing paid surveys because of my location as the so-called first world countries receive all the choice survey sites leaving the crumbs that fall from the Master’s table. The survey field needs to be levelled because the advent of I. T capability the world is just one community everyone is aware of what goes on everywhere.
Most people have more clothes in their closet than they ever wear. You likely have items you haven’t worn in the past year that you never have any intention of wearing ever again. Whether you sell your clothes, handbags, or shoes there are quite a few websites that allow you to sell your used fashion items. Poshmark, Refashioner, TheRealReal, ThredUp and Tradesy are a few of the online sites where you can sell your used apparel. You could make money online by selling on several different platforms. If you’re looking to sell items in person, you can use Facebook buy and sell groups in your community to find people online and sell the items in person. I’ve personally sold in these groups before and know they work.
No matter the site, the earnings from taking surveys can be meager compared with other work opportunities. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, for example, and our hourly earnings ranged from 41 cents to $2.03. Most survey sites also required a minimum amount of points before we could redeem them for rewards. On many of the sites, we didn’t reach that minimum amount after five hours of work.
Focus on the surveys and offers at the top of the list. Here's a tip not many people know. CashCrate has a special algorithm that automatically selects the best surveys and offers and places them at the top of the list. There are several factors that go into determining which are the “best”, including payout, approval rate, and a variety of other factors. But all you need to know is that these surveys and offers are great, so you can do them in confidence!
Those who love teaching but would prefer to make passive income could consider teaching online courses. With online courses, you can teach topics that go beyond what a tutoring gig for students would teach. If you’re great at building stable relationships, you might create a relationships course. If you’re an ecommerce expert, you might teach a course about dropshipping. There’s no limit to what you can teach. You can also niche down within an industry to teach courses about specific subtopics. For example, instead of teaching public relations you might teach a course about growing your blog traffic.
Similar to a YouTube vlogger, if you have a large following on Instagram then you could become an Instagram Influencer. You will be paid to promote products in your photos, from wearing certain clothes to action shots of you using particular merchandise. As your Instagram following grows, you may start out simply receiving freebies in return for a picture of you with the item in shot. However, for those with followings running into millions, you can expect large payments to display products in your pictures. Use sites like Hype Factory to help connect you with companies prepared to pay for your influence.
You may decide to create free videos as extra content for your blog, and not sell them at all. If this is the case then you can still make money from these videos by selling advertising space on them (in the same way as discussed for monetizing podcasts). Once you have high volumes of traffic visiting your blog, and watching your videos, you can charge businesses to advertise at the beginning of your videos. Use website’s like Izea to help you connect with companies willing to pay to advertise on your blog.
And while it will take time to build up a big-enough audience to attract advertisers and other ways to make extra income from your podcast, the opportunity is there. John Lee Dumas interviews entrepreneurs seven days a week for his podcast Entrepreneur on Fire and now makes more than $200,000 a month from it. In fact, John publishes all his income online and showed that he’s made almost $13 million since launching in 2012.

I surprisingly get a lot of people asking to detail their car. I never intend to make a business of it, but I love doing it to my cars and people ask me to do it to theirs. All it takes is a cheap orbital buffer (mines a used craftsman) and a shop vac. I normally get easily $100 for a basic wash/wax/vac, or $200 to remove scratches and polish then wax the car.
High-ticket consulting or coaching: You could sell your own high-ticket consulting or coaching products from your website. You'll still need a website, merchant account, sales funnel, lead magnet and many other items. But you can easily earn a substantial amount of money from each individual customer, making it well worth the arduous setup required.
This is similar in concept to micro-tasks, except that it is oriented toward specific services, such as cleaning services, pest inspection, handyman services, house cleaning, lawn & garden services or any of the skilled trades.

If you have a good idea for an app, and the skills to create it, then producing your own premium app can be profitable. However, with so many free apps available, it may be hard to convince people to pay. If you want to go down the premium app route, consider having a basic free version to encourage people to download the app in the first place. You can then provide the option of upgrading to a premium plan once users realize how useful the app is.
To make matters worse, 40 percent of all unemployed people in the U.S. are millennials, according to a report from Georgetown University. Despite looming student loans, young people across the country are finding it tough to find employment, which makes bringing in an adequate amount of money each month all the more difficult. For that reason, an opportunity to make money online from home is especially important for recent college graduates, and taking paid surveys is a great way to do exactly that.
Watching video ads: Video ads certainly aren't uncommon in the online world. While generally they're a hassle getting in the way of the content you want to watch, many paid survey sites have turned them into a way for members to make money. It's pretty easy to make a tab, set a playlist of paid ads going, mute it, and carry on with browsing the internet or taking surveys.
Test websites. Remote usability testing means getting paid to navigate a website for the first time and giving feedback to the website owner. Most tests take approximately 15 minutes, and you can get paid up to $10 for each test. A test involves performing a scenario on the client’s website and recording yourself doing it. For example, you might be asked to go through the process of selecting and purchasing an item on a retailer’s website.

Chrissy Teigen carried out a massive overhaul of her Twitter account, as conspiracy theorists continue to link her with Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted felon.
Just last week the model blasted Twitter trolls for claiming she had once flown on the private jet of the disgraced financier.
The charges she vehemently denies in her own denunciation of Epstein’s gal pal Ghislaine Maxwell led to her blocking 1 million accounts to escape the noise.
“I’ve blocked more than a million people today, ONE MILLION people, and I’m still overwhelmed with sick psychopaths. So please, spare me the ‘just ignore them, they’re just trolls” – she tweeted.
Teigen went on to say she’ll do her “best to stop entertaining.”
“They have definitely been living for this and have zeroed in on ONLY me. Thank u to EVERYONE for helping me, in and out of the dm’s,” – she added.
Hours before, Teigen admitted that the conspiracy theory linking her to Epstein caused her to fear for the safety of her children.
She has also reported online to be labeled a “pedophile.”
“this I don’t get. everyone thinking I’m guilty because I’m defensive. You understand you are calling me a pedophile, correct?” Teigen replied to a now-deleted tweet.
She also announced that she deleted 60,000 tweets from her account “because I cannot f–king STAND you idiots anymore and I’m worried for my family.”
VIEW ALSO : Fahim Saleh is dead – Got murdered in US [VIDEO]
She finds herself caught in the middle of the Epstein controversy when social media users started sharing uncorroborated Epstein jet flight logs featuring her name shortly after Maxwell ‘s arrest.
The British socialite is accused of encouraging him to sexually exploit the late financier lure children. During many years, Epstein was accused of victimizing hundreds of girls and women.
However, Prince Andrew of Britain has also been accused of having close ties to Epstein.
In 1999 Maxwell reportedly introduced Epstein to the Duke of York, reported The Telegraph.
Andrew is last known to have met Maxwell at Buckingham Palace in 2019, two weeks after U.S. prosecutors announced they wanted to reopen their enquiry into Epstein, according to the outlet.
60 year old Andrew, has denied having sex with one of Epstein ‘s key accusers, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, three times, including when she was 17, after she said she had sex with the British prince.
In a multi-state ring of sex trafficking involving three unnamed minors between 1994 and 1997, Maxwell is charged with conspiracy and perjury She pleaded not guilty Tuesday in court.
I have block chained over one million people, ONE MILLION people today and I am still flooded with sick psychopaths. So please, spare me the “just ignore them, they’re just trolls”

Woman claims she was arrested for videotaping cops
NEW HAVEN -- An Ansonia woman said she was arrested after refusing to give police her cell phone that she used to videotape the officers making an arrest.
Jennifer Gondola, 35, said she stuffed her iPhone into her bra when police asked her to turn it over to them. She was then arrested.
"The handcuffs were so tight," Gondola said. "They were like the tightest they could be."
Gondola said she'd be arrested again if it means protecting people's rights. She said she was leaving Pulse Nightclub on Chapel Street in New Haven early Saturday morning, when she joined others in filming police who were arresting a man.
About 10 minutes later she said police noticed her recording with her iPhone.
"I told him it was my civil right to film and he told me he would need to review the tape," said Gondola, who works for a real estate agency. "I told him it wasn't evidence of the suspect doing a crime, it was police doing a crime."
Gondola said the officer asked for the phone again or else she'd be under arrest. Instead of handing it over, she said she put it in her bra.
"He yanked my arms behind me and cuffed me," Gondola said.
She said she's innocent based on rules put in place just last year.
Police General Order 311 says: "It is the policy of the New Haven Department of Police Service to permit video recording of police activity as long as such recording does not interfere with ongoing police activity or jeopardize the safety of the general public or the police."
Gondola says the story of her arrest outside Pulse has become so popular that a blogger from Miami contacted her to share his story.
"He's been arrested numerous times for videotaping police and this is very important to him," Gondola said.
It's clearly important to Gondola too.
"It may seen petty to some people," she said, "but I think it's very important everyone know their rights and they're not intimidated by the police."
Gondola says since police confiscated her phone, it's been impossible to do her job as a realtor with no contact numbers.
She'll be in court June 12. Gondola was charged with interfering with police.
Police said there is an internal investigation regarding her allegations against the arresting officer, identified by the New Haven Independent as Sgt. Chris Rubino. The Independent (http://bit.ly/JHmjjj) reported police were arresting a 24-year-old Bridgeport man who police said was involved in an altercation outside the nightclub and refused to leave when asked by officers.
Gondola told the Independent police hit the man after he had been handcuffed.

Father Soldier Son
Directors: Catrin Einhorn, Leslye Davis
Cast: Brian Eisch, Isaac Eisch, Joseph Eisch, Maria Eisch, Jordan Delano, Jaxon Eisch
There have been Indian films that have spoken about the valour of our military or police force. We have seen how families have rallied around after the man of the house is killed in action, and in what is seen as pure patriotism, a son is later sent to join the forces. A Netflix documentary, Father Soldier Son, helmed by Catrin Einorn and Leslye Davis – and produced with the help of the New York Times – follows an American family for almost a decade, documenting its tragedies and happier times. The narrative is excellent in a comfortable run time of 99 minutes.
American soldier, a doting father of two boys, Brian Eisch has to serve in treacherous Afghanistan. He is a divorcee, and his boys have to live with their uncle, seeing their father once in six months when he returns home on leave. It is not easy for the boys, both under 12, with a mother gone and a father serving the US Army in a far away land. But Brian is too much of a patriot who believes that he must fight for his country. But after an injury, he is forced to quit the army. With his leg amputated, he knows that he can never return to the battlefield.
He is disillusioned and finds it hard to get over his handicap. It is not so much about losing a leg as it is about trying to tame his patriotic instinct. And he is in a hurry to see his sons grow up so that they may uphold the family tradition of serving the country. While the younger son is okay with the idea, the elder boy is not too keen. He wishes to go to college. But Brian and his new girlfriend try and convince the son that life in the Army is gloriously rewarding.
A terrible tragedy intervenes that forces the family to rethink. But only for a while.
The documentary does meander at times, but happily stays away from moralising. The directors – who are journalists – give us a story that is gripping most of the time. There is no voiceover, and even the interviews ( a real bore in most of the documentaries) are kept to the very minimum. They are almost snippets which push the story seamlessly.
In the end, the elder son does enlist in the Army, but questions why he and his countrymen ought to be fighting a war in Afghanistan. What is the idea behind this conflict? Indeed a very relevant question! But the answer does not come. He has been asked to don the uniform, and he will do it. A very distressing moment in Father Soldier Son. Indeed so.

Source- [Pauly D]’s got a slew of eponymous products, his own television show and a DJ career that earns him an average of $40,000 per show from club gigs, private parties and a stint opening for Britney Spears on her Femme Fatale tour. Over the past year, Pauly D pulled in $11 million, enough to earn him the No. 7 spot on FORBES’ first-ever top-earning DJs list.
Here’s the thing, I never have a problem with people making lots of money. If you do, then it just means you’re jealous. Does it really make sense that he makes more money than DJs such as Afrojack, Avicii, and Kaskade? Well sorta. There is no doubt that his producing skills no where near match those of the DJs previously listed. His live performances are good. I have heard him DJ live and I can tell you that he is not a terrible club DJ. I would also say that he does not bring as much excitement as a live Avicii set or an Afrojack set. But there’s a major entertainment factor. Kids who watched Jersey Shore will pay a ton of money to see a reality star. It doesn’t really even matter what Pauly plays anymore. People are gonna come to see him. The entertainment industry has always been a curious one. During times of recession, people pay for entertainment. So unless Pauly has personally wronged you, don’t hate on him for making a ton of money.
Source- Last week, on Wednesday 26th July, it was brought to DJ Mag’s attention that a posting on eBay Italy was claiming to be selling votes in the annual Top 100 DJs poll. This was posted in Italy by somebody trying to discredit the poll, and is no longer active as a live auction bid. DJ Mag believes that this fake eBay posting was probably done by the same group of people responsible for the video last year that claimed to expose how people could cheat in the poll…There are a number of DJs that have been caught cheating, and DJ Mag will be naming and shaming them by the end of this week.
I don’t know how much truth there is behind that last line, but I can’t wait to find out who those DJs are. It brings shame to the greatest DJ ranking poll in the world. If DJ Mag Top 100 loses its credibility, then I have no idea where world rankings would come from (not that it really matters). I think the biggest problem is that for the past 2 years, they have run the contest through Facebook. They should have done it through their own website. If there are any big breaks in this story, I’ll post updates.
PS: Paris Hilton was deff one of the DJs who cheated.
Who here knows anything about electronic music? If you listen to house, trance, and dubstep, then you should be voting for this year’s top 100 DJs. This list is taken pretty seriously within the DJ community and means a lot to the artists. So if you have 5 minutes to spare today then VOTE HERE.
You can only vote for your top 5, but because I’m obsessed, I’ll give you my top 20:
- Armin Van Buuren
- deadmau5** [may not land in top 20 this year. He is pleading to his fans on twitter to not vote for him]
- Steve Aoki
- Above & Beyond
- Bingo Players
- Laidback Luke
- Benny Benassi
- Martin Solveig
- Dada Life
- Sander Van Doorn
- Wolfgang Gartner
- Ferry Corsten
- Porter Robinson
- David Guetta

As soon as I installed the intake I noticed a difference. More power! Sounds better! I think I'm saving some fuel as well! One of the hose clamps was too short, so I had to take a trip to the hardware store. But the intake is a super perfect fit!

I put this intake and an afe throttle body spacer on my 99 Tacoma extra cab and noticed a difference in power and sound right away, it added about 5 or hp to my truck (it's a 4 banger so it counts a little more) I get even better mileage with this intake but still have some get up and go power when I want it.

The organic foods movement promotes the health of humans and their environment by encouraging farmers to use agricultural methods that neither deplete the soil nor hurt environmental systems or farmworkers. Organic farming also promotes biological diversity and the recycling of resources through such methods as crop rotation, rotational grazing, planting of cover crops, intercropping, animal and plant waste recycling, tilling, and adding minerals to crops.What does the term "certified organic" mean?
Although the basic definition of "organic" is "living", the National Organic Standards Board defined "certified organic" at their meeting in April 1995 as follows:
How is organic produce certified?
Farmers must grow produce for three years without the application of synthetic pesticides or chemicals. The farm, its equipment, and any processing facilities are inspected by an independent agency unaffiliated with the grower, the processor or the vendor, and are then issued a certificate from that agency certifying the farm's produce as "organic."
Can meat be certified "organic"?
Livestock can be certified "organic" if they have been raised on organic feedstuffs (grains and other products grown under certified organic conditions) for at least a year.
Why is organic produce more expensive than the other kind?
Organic produce, since it is grown without synthetic pesticides or chemicals, is more labor-intensive. Organic crop yields are often not as high as those grown under non-organic conditions, and fewer farmers (only about 4%) use organic methods and sustainable agriculture practices; therefore the price of organically grown produce reflects the greater demands placed on the grower.
Is organically grown produce healthier than other produce?
Certified organic produce is not essentially healthier than produce that has been grown under non-organic conditions -- the nutritional content of a particular vegetable doesn't change. But the lack of synthetic pesticidal residues on organically grown produce definitely makes for a safer product.

Lara’s had eyes for exactly one person throughout her three years of high school: Chase Harding. He’s tall, strong, sweet, a football star, and frankly, stupid hot. Oh, and he’s talking to her now. On purpose and everything. Maybe…flirting, even? No, wait, he’s definitely flirting, which is pretty much the sum of everything Lara’s wanted out of life.
Except she’s haunted by a memory. A memory of a confusing, romantic, strangely perfect summer spent with a girl named Jasmine. A memory that becomes a confusing, disorienting present when Jasmine herself walks through the front doors of the school to see Lara and Chase chatting it up in front of the lockers.
Lara has everything she ever wanted: a tight-knit group of friends, a job that borders on cool, and Chase, the boy of her literal dreams. But if she’s finally got the guy, why can’t she stop thinking about the girl?
Cool for the Summer is a story of self-discovery and new love. It’s about the things we want and the things we need. And it’s about the people who will let us be who we are.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
Cool for the Summer is the book I never knew I needed. This book spoke to my soul in a way that no book has for a long time. I firmly believe that is Cool for the Summer had been published 10 years ago, when I was in high school, I would have realized I was bisexual much sooner.
Cool for the Summer follows Larissa in the past and the present. It starts on her first day of her senior year in high school. She’s just had an amazing summer and really gained some confidence in herself. That confidence shows and the boy she’s been crushing on for years notices. Chase is finally noticing her and it’s like all of her fantasies are coming true, so why isn’t she happy? This is where the flashbacks come in. Over the summer, Larissa spends her time in the Outer Banks staying at her mom’s boss’s house. It’s here that she meets Jasmine. Everything gets more complicated when Jasmine shows up as a new student at Larissa’s high school.
I loved this book so much. As I said above, this book spoke to my soul in a way that hasn’t happened with any other book in a long time. Larissa is trying figure out what she’s feeling. She really likes Chase. He’s a genuinely nice guy and she doesn’t understand why she isn’t happier. She also has no idea what the problem with Jasmine is. Jasmine hasn’t really even tried to talk to her and suddenly she’s best friends with Shannon, one of Larissa’s best friends. This story did an incredible job of making me feel Larissa’s emotions and confusion. It’s written in the first person. So, we’re getting all of Larissa’s thoughts as she’s thinking them. I think telling the story this way was a really great way to get the reader to feel and experience Larissa’s emotions alongside her, which is exactly what I did.
I loved that even though Larissa felt like there wasn’t anyone she could talk to, she still had friends (Kiki) that saw through her and could see what she was going through. The best kind of friends are friends that support you and manage to say the right thing even though they don’t know exactly what the problem might be. And once Larissa didn’t finally talk to her friends and her mom, their reactions were so positive and I loved that for Larissa. I definitely shed a tear or two when she finally started talking to her loved ones about her feelings for Jasmine.
Overall, I feel like this review is absolutely incoherent but this book changed me. I wish this book existed ten years ago so that I could have had my moment of self-discovery alongside Larissa. Please read this book. It’s full of diverse characters, self-discovery, and friends that don’t always say the right thing at first. I’m going to go now because I feel like I’m getting more incoherent the longer I type this.
Keep on reading lovelies, Amanda.


The number of measles cases in the U.S. has reached its highest point in more than a decade.
At 131 cases, the figure is still small. But that's just for the first seven months of this year and doctors are troubled by the trend. There were only 42 cases for all of last year.
Nearly half of this year's cases involve children whose parents rejected vaccination. Pediatricians are frustrated, saying they have to spend more time convincing parents that the shot is safe.
A review by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention finds that a number of cases involve home-schooled children who aren't required to have the vaccines.

Thais started to migrate to Germany around the 1960s, and it is statistically evident that the feminisation of Thai migration through marriage to Germans has continued to the present day (Federal Statistics Office of Germany, 2016). Women account for almost 87 percent of all Thais in Germany. Marriages of Thai women to German or foreign husbands account for 94 percent of marriages in Germany involving Thai nationals, compared to only six percent of Thai men married to German or foreign wives. In 2015, the total number of Thais in Germany was 58,784; however, only 43 percent of Thais were registered as “labour” under the German employment system. This paper investigates the employment dilemma of Thai marriage migrants after implementation of the new Residence Act of 2005. First, it sheds light on the underlying problems that hinder Thai marriage migrants’ potential as full-time labourers and provides better understanding of why highly-educated Thai marriage migrants cannot fully integrate into the German labour market. Second, it examines the Thai diaspora and explores the present-day trans-nationalism of Thai marriage migrants in Germany. Finally, it applies Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical concept of capital, habitus and social space to better understand Thai marriage migrants’ career choices in the German milieu. Qualitative interviews with 38 informants and a quantitative questionnaire filled out by 125 additional respondents were conducted between 2016 and 2017, providing one of the most comprehensive researches on Thai marriage migrants in Germany to date.

WA state is split vertically in two by the Cascade Mountain range;
about one third of the land is to the west.
The scattered Puget Sound islands (especially the San Juans) are also extremely scenic and romantic, but due to the ferry trips in between them, it's only possible to visit one or two in a day. This is a vacation trip with wineries, not a a winery trip. The one near the Canadian border is all alone, though can be included in a trip to the San Juan islands or Olympic Peninnisula wineries trips. It's about half an hour from Bellingham, which is about an hour and a half from Seattle (in light traffic).
Most of the wineries in Southwestern WA are near Olympia and are appt. only. They're a bit far apart (half hour between any) and about an hour and a half from Seattle (in light traffic). However these can be visited as part of a trip to the Columbia River Gorge wineries, or Western Oregon wineries.
Most of the Seattle area wineries are appt. only. Although they're close together, in weekday traffic it can take a good half hour to get from one to another. If you're spending a few days in town on business, you may be able to visit several of them (some are even open evenings), but you really can't plan a trip around them.
By far your best bet for a near Seattle is Woodinville. There is a cluster of close together wineries, all with good quality products. Some are appt. only, so if you're serious, contact them ahead of time.
Eastern WA has four major winery areas, the Yakima Valley, Walla Walla, Spokane, and the Columbia River Gorge.
Most of the wineries In the state are concentrated in the Yakima Valley. These can be looked at as four towns, each with about a dozen wineries, (going west to east):
Walla Walla is about an hours drive past the Yakima Valley. There's a handful of wineries here, including some of the most highly lauded, however, several of them are only open to the public for special event weekends once or twice a year.
Spokane has a handful of nice wineries. It's about a 5 hour drive from Seattle, and is not really on the way past many others, so this is a destination trip.
Last but not least, the Columbia River Gorge (internationally renowned for great surf-sailing) has a handful of fine wineries. Additional sightseeing are the Stonehenge replica and the Maryhill museum. This can be done from Seattle past the Southwest WA wineries (about 2 hours driving), or from Zillah (about one hour driving).

Limited Liability Basics
A limited liability company is a state-based business structure. LLCs provide owners, called members, with limited personal liability for the debts and actions of the LLC. So, if the LLC has incurred debt or faces a lawsuit, only the assets of the LLC itself are at risk, not the members’ individual assets (unless an LLC member has engaged in illegal, reckless or unethical behavior). This liability protection is the typical reason a business entity forms a new LLC, whether for a particular project, a series of related projects or for any business ventures or purposes. When a business entity becomes a member of a new LLC, the business entity member is not liable for the debts of that new LLC. Only the assets of the new LLC are at risk.
Ownership and Operations
When an LLC is owned by one or more business entities, it is typically governed by the owners of the business entities. How this governance works is up to all of the LLC members. Ownership interest does not have to correspond with financial contribution or with how much work each owner does. You should set out member rights and responsibilities through an operating agreement. A typical operating agreement includes percentage interests in the business, voting power and requirements, division of liabilities and assets, management directives, meeting rules, dissolution procedures and buyout provisions.
Just as with individual members, business entity members of an LLC can either be active or passive. Members that actively and continuously manage the company are called “member managers.” Passive members generally do not take part in management and usually limit their involvement to monetary investment. The IRS taxes the profits of passive and member managers differently. Check with the IRS to determine the tax consequences for your LLC ownership and management.
States do impose a few restrictions on LLCs. Some types of businesses simply cannot be LLCs, including banks and insurance companies. In addition, some states have what are called “professional LLCs” in which all members, including owners of the business entity member, may need to hold a professional license related to the LLC’s specific business. There are also restrictions for foreign LLCs. For instance, a group of business entities wants to form an LLC in the state where the venture or project will be located, but none of the entities are from the state. You may want to seek the assistance of a lawyer to better understand the business and tax implications of forming a foreign versus a domestic LLC.

What does the Soil Testing Laboratory do?
We provide routine soil testing and fertilizer recommendations for the purpose of evaluating soil fertility and soil pH level and/or problems due to excessive salts or fertilizer materials
What the Soil Testing Laboratory does NOT do?
There are a few things that we do not do.
- We do not go out to your land and collect samples for you.
- We do not provide soil testing for construction-related activities (such as a geotechnical investigations).
- We do not analyze soil for pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, pollution contamination.
Will a soil test help diagnose problems with my plants?
Problems with plants may be caused by factors other than soil fertility, e.g. disease, insects, insufficient light, soil moisture or compaction, or climatic conditions. An evaluation of soil fertility and pH is an important first step in diagnosing problems. If soil fertility is not found to be a problem, then the other factors affecting plant growth should be evaluated to determine possible causes.
Where can I go for more help?
Check out our Resources page for a complete list of county and state organizations who can offer further help.
How long does it take for the Laboratory to analyze my samples?
It usually takes seven to ten business days for the Laboratory to process your soil samples. However, this timeframe may increase during the spring and autumn rushes.
Do you test homeowner soils for nitrogen?
Soils for home lawn, garden, trees and shrubs are not tested for nitrogen because this nutrient is very mobile in soils. Therefore, the nitrogen recommendation is based on plant type requirements and the relative organic matter level in the soil as determined by the Laboratory.
Should I test for trace elements or lead?
Trace element tests may be useful in some professional operations for special problems. Testing for lead is only useful if the soil is suspected to be contaminated with lead.
When should I request the soluble salts test?
The soluble salts test is only necessary under specific conditions. See soluble salts for more info.

I ran across a great article: Africa Reboots, by, of all people BONO.
It stresses the idea that two forces, normally opposing, are rallying around poor governance and weak institutions. Both feel that they suffer from corruption and that weak states negatively effect their respective flocks.
I think this is an interesting and valid point of view. I do, however, think that at least the corporate interests have created much of this problem. Bribing from the low to the high becomes the norm, when all parties allow it to occur. Cops don't become corrupt by themselves. Neither do presidents, ministers or anyone else.
"Entrepreneurs know that even a good relationship with a bad government stymies foreign investment; civil society knows a resource-rich country can have more rather than fewer problems, unless corruption is tackled." This is a pretty accurate description.
So, can civil society and business unite? Can these two forces push governments to be more accountable, less corrupt and to think of the bigger picture?
Some interesting figures were introduced in the article, described by Bono:
John Githongo, Kenya’s famous whistleblower, started a group called Inuka.
DJ Rowbow: His station, Ghetto Radio, was a voice of reason when the volcano of ethnic tension was exploding in Kenya in 2008.
Youssou N’Dour — musician in Senegal who best exemplified the new rules. Maybe the greatest singer on earth — owns a newspaper and is in the middle of a complicated deal to buy a TV station.
Luisa Diogo, the country’s former prime minister, who is now the matriarch in this mesmerizing stretch of eastern Africa, leads Activa, a women’s group that, among other things, helps entrepreneurs get seed capital.
Mo Ibrahim, a Sudanese entrepreneur who made a fortune in mobile phones.
On another note, President Goodluck Jonathan seems to have his thoughts together on his interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour this past week. I think his statements about political opponents 'let them come! anyone who wants to, can come!' is an excellent attempt to undermine opposition--if you seem like they can't ruffle your feathers, that President Jonathan has nothing to fear--is more effective than just bluster and criticism.
I read a few articles analyzing the interview, but I think it's worth watching in its own right.
Hope all is well with you.

Like most ethnic groups that immigrated to America, the Czechs sometimes called Bohemians came here for a better life. During the midth century, people living in the Czech lands of Bohemia and Moravia were under the rule of the Habsburg Empire. This made the people subjects of a monarchy whose official religion was Roman Catholic and whose official language was German. Later, during the Cold War era, a main reason for Czech emigration was the desire to escape communism.
A Historical Look at Czech Chicagoland
German genocide after WWII in Czechoslovakia - World War II in Prague
The Romans called them the Boii and they gave their name to Bohemia. Then about AD a Germanic people called the Marcomanni conquered the area. The Romans traded with the Marcomanni and sometimes fought with them but they never conquered this part of the world. In the sixth century a Slavic people entered what is now the Czech Republic. According to legend, a man called Cech led them.

Miami - Platform Specialty Products Corporation ("Platform"), a global specialty chemicals company, announced recently that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Chemtura AgroSolutions ("CAS"), a leading and fast-growing global provider of agrochemicals and seed treatment products, from Chemtura Corporation ("Chemtura") for approximately $1B, consisting of $950M in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments, plus 2 million shares of Platform's common stock.
CAS is a leading provider of seed treatment and agrochemical products for a wide variety of crop applications in attractive geographies. Its portfolio encompasses seed treatments, insecticides, miticides, herbicides, fungicides, plant growth regulators and adjuvants, and is supported by a proven and robust new product pipeline with over 100 new launches in each of the last three years. These products, backed by extensive research and field testing, utilize advanced formulations to enhance crop quality and yield in many specialty markets and are supported by product registrations in more than 100 countries.
CAS has delivered profitable growth and should be immediately accretive by more than 35% to Platform's adjusted earnings, pre-synergies. For the year ended December 31, 2013, Chemtura reported net sales for CAS business of approximately $449M and adjusted EBITDA of $101M, representing an adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.6%, which is in line with Platform's margin profile. CAS has demonstrated a strong track record of earnings expansion since the economic downturn, as evidenced by its EBITDA compounded annual growth rate of over 15% from 2009 through 2013, primarily from organic growth. We believe that CAS' growth, as well as its cash generative nature, should further strengthen Platform's overall financial positioning. Similar to Platform's MacDermid business, CAS requires modest capital investment to maintain its growth trajectory, as typically less than 2% of annual net sales is used for capital expenditures. CAS' senior leadership team, led by its President, Nelson Gibson, possesses on average, more than 25 years of agricultural experience and will remain with the business.
Platform will pursue a virtual Active Ingredient ("AI") model, and Platform and Chemtura have entered into a long-term supply agreement where Chemtura will supply key AI's. Platform will supplement this with select acquisition and licensing of others AI's to take advantage of CAS' global registrations and distribution footprint.
Martin E. Franklin, Platform's Founder and Chairman, said, "When Platform made its initial investment with the acquisition of MacDermid last year, we recognized that the specialty chemicals space was ripe with opportunity for assembling a portfolio of best-in-class companies, and CAS has many of the same attractive business characteristics as MacDermid. CAS' strong positions in niche markets extend our reach into a new vertical, which possesses robust growth dynamics. This is a successful, fast-growing business with an experienced management team, and the additional resources and guidance from Platform's executive leadership should provide CAS with an optimal, long-term home for it to truly thrive."
Daniel H. Leever, Platform's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The agrochemicals business perfectly aligns with the key values and characteristics of Platform, and meets Platform's disciplined acquisition criteria. This transaction demonstrates our ability to execute our clearly-defined growth strategy and provides us with a strong position in an attractive new vertical. Like MacDermid, CAS' innovation capabilities and highly-skilled technical and service personnel create a unique value proposition. This 'asset-lite, high-touch' approach is pivotal to Platform's business model and facilitates margin expansion, increased profitability, and significant free cash flow generation to support future growth. I look forward to working with Nelson Gibson and his team to identify and invest in initiatives to enhance further growth in the business. I'm delighted with Platform's progress to date and more excited than ever about our long-term growth potential."
Craig A. Rogerson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Chemtura, said, "This sale provides Chemtura's agrochemicals business with a solid and stable home to build on its positive momentum and growth. I fully expect the business, its customers and employees will continue to thrive as part of Platform."
The CAS transaction is expected to be funded through a combination of debt and cash on hand. The transaction, which is expected to close in the second half of 2014, is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
Barclays and Lazard acted as financial advisors and Greenberg Traurig, LLP acted as legal advisor to Platform on the CAS transaction. Barclays has committed financing for the acquisition. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acted as financial advisor and Debevoise & Plimpton LLP acted as legal counsel for Chemtura.
Please see the non-GAAP reconciliation table attached hereto and the schedules accompanying this release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures including pro forma adjustments reflecting the CAS transaction.

It was a story of staring down death against all the odds, and rescuers from different countries that pulled together to save them in a race against time. It was a story of great humanity and triumph, and for once it felt so good to write about something with a positive and victorious outcome.
Too often we spend our time as journalists shining a spotlight on the darker side of humanity, or shall we say the dark side of the moon.
The objective is first and foremost to inform, and secondly to provoke some action either on the part of government or the international community, in defence of peoples’ basic rights and freedoms.
One couldn’t write only about the Thai cave rescue this week without giving equal space to a far more horrifying story that did not have such a positive outcome.
As I sat down to tell the story of the 330000 Syrian men, women and children who fled for their lives to escape the bombing campaign in the town of Daraa in south-western Syria, I could feel the depression setting in - yet another tale of unspeakable horror, and the overwhelming obligation to tell it.
There were all too few images of the hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped over the past fortnight at the sealed-off borders of Israel and Jordan. The civilians, half of whom were children, were fleeing bombardment and devastation, only for neighbouring countries to say they were full and there was nowhere for them to run to.
This must be every refugee’s worst nightmare, to flee unspeakable horror only to find themselves prevented from leaving their borders to find safe haven. After all, international refugee law obliges neighbouring countries to allow refugees fleeing war in.
What became of these victims fleeing a total military onslaught on Daraa - the place the Syrian war began and the place the government would ensure it would ultimately end? They were left stranded - not on a rock shelf in a dark cave - but in the desert with no drinkable water, nothing to shelter them from the blazing sun, and many of them dying from dehydration, contaminated water - and even scorpion stings.
Since Tuesday this week a woman and her 27 family members were hiding in the desert at the border in a makeshift tent made of floor mats. Her nephew had been killed in the airstrikes on Daraa and she told those who would listen that they had been “living in horror”.
For this mass of humanity there was no recourse but to dig holes in the ground as makeshift toilets, and pull whatever materials they could find over sticks in order to get some relief from the sun.
Jan Egeland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council, called it a “catastrophe in the making which could be stopped at any moment”.
But there was no political will to stop the suffering, just as there has been no political will in the last seven years of brutal war to give the civilian population any sustainable relief.
There are certainly no angels among the protagonists. Our BRICS partner, Russia and ally, Syria, did not hesitate to launch eight targeted airstrikes on hospitals in southern Syria in eight days - it was all in the name of military victory by any means necessary.
It almost seems pointless to write about, as the more we know, the less there seems we can do about it.
In this sense ignorance is sometimes bliss.
But just when the whole story began to turn my stomach yet again, I read something that truly amazed me.
When no emergency supplies were being sent to these helpless human beings who merely wanted to survive, the residents of the Palestinian refugee camps across the border in Jordan mobilised literally everything they could possibly share in order to show their solidarity with other human beings in need.
Jerash refugee camp, with a population of 30000, and Souf refugee camp with 18000 residents are already places of great need, having had to manage as refugees since the camps were established in 1968 after the Arab-Israeli war.
But over the past fortnight many of these refugees started to donate half of what they had, one woman even giving away half of her only bag of baby’s milk formula as a donation to the Syrian refugees.
It was the same glimpse of human goodness that was evident in the Thai cave rescue - the essential goodness came shining through like a magnificent bright light through the gruesome darkness. Yes, there still is some good in the world, we just have to look very hard to find it.

This week marks one year since the tragic fire at the Atira-operated Winters Hotel. The fire, which occurred on April 11, 2022, was entirely preventable, displacing 72 residents and claiming the lives of tenants Mary Ann Garlow and Dennis Guay. On Tuesday, survivors of the fire spoke out, marched in the streets, and held a memorial for those lost.
This week, the Portland Tenants Union obtained a major victory in securing the immediate repair of the elevator in their building. This is only an inaugural victory and residents will continue to fight for the rights of tenants in supportive housing.

Ben will be live tweeting from Penn State media day today. The action doesn't start until about
1:20, I mean 12:20 (sorry!), so for now we can use this as an open thread.
The idea behind having this live event today is because much of this stuff will be taking place while the majority of us/you are at work, where it's pretty likely Twitter and social media is blacklisted. But with this live event in place, if you can see BSD, you can see Ben's tweets!

During the rough out and rough shaping steps the folded corners of the cattail leaves were left at the original level of the wood. This gives lots of room under the fold to create a free-floating leaf.
Begin by marking a v-shape on the side of the front leaf, just under the leaf fold. Mark the top of the leaf at the fold with the v-shape. Note that on both areas that the tip of the leave where it touches the background will not be free-floating, only the fold area will be worked. this gives your leave an anchor point to the wood, making it stronger.
Note: During any carving session I stop about every half hour to strop my tools. It brightens the edge while giving me a moment to think where I am going to work next. Before you begin these free-floating cuts take a moment to freshen the cutting edges of your bench knife, chisel, and large round gouge. A well sharpened knife puts less pressure on a cut than a dull one.
Working the upper side of the leaf, with your chip carving knife or bench knife make a thin slice along the pencil line, slanting the knife tip towards the background. Make several passes at this cut, slowly and gently deepening the cut.
With your large round gouge, straight chisel, or bull nose chisel make a cut into the v-area with your tool’s cutting edge as low onto the background as comfortable. As you work you will release small, thin slivers of wood from under the leaf fold.
Repeat the free-floating steps for the underside of the leaf fold.
Once both sides of the leaf have been undercut, using your large round gouge or wide sweep gouge begin lowering the background level under the leaf fold. Merge this drop in level with the surrounding background by making a few, long, but shallow gouge cuts towards the leaf area.
For me, I find that making a few undercuts followed by a few background gouge cuts I have more control over opening the space under a free-floating element. So I work these steps in increments. Your basswood is stronger that you may realize and can take quite a bit of pressure, but slow and sure avoids any cracks or breaks in the free-floated element.
If you do break or crack an area, gently open the crack with a little prying pressure from below and use a few drops of super glue! Remove the pressure and let the glue dry for five minutes, then go back to carving.
To clean up the underside of the free-floating area I fold a piece of 220-grit sandpaper and slide the paper through the opening. Sanding will also help to widen the corners of the free-float.

Below a list of additional evidence submitted to the Education Committee following their invitation for views on the strength of the evidence in relation to the current policy on Summer Born Children and the effect of birth date on student achievement (my bold).
(Pottegård 2014) Children’s relative age in class and use of medication for ADHD: a Danish Nationwide Study.
Lack of relative age effect found “may be due to the high proportion (40%) of relatively young children held back by 1 year in the Danish school system”.
(Goodman 2003) Child psychiatric disorder and relative age within school year: cross sectional survey of large population sample.
“Younger children in a school year were significantly more likely to have higher symptom scores and psychiatric disorder… a more flexible approach to children’s progression through school might reduce the number of children with impairing psychiatric disorders in the general population… around 60,000 cases of child psychiatric disorder might be prevented…
“In New Zealand, children spend between 12 months and 24 months in a reception or preparatory class, with progression to the next class being determined by the child’s maturity and academic competence. Similarly, Scottish parents can choose to defer school entry for relatively young children who do not seem ready for school… In England and Wales… children must start school in the academic year during which they will become 5 years old.”
(Angus 2004) The relative age effect and the development of self-esteem.
“To date, relative age research has reported significant and substantial achievement differences within the confines of athletic and academic pursuits. However, with the advent of the study noted above, it now appears that emotional development is also implicated. Here we demonstrate that a relatively young age of entry into the formal educational system is associated with reduced self-esteem several years later.”
(Pote 1996) Reception class structure and the performance of summer-born children in key stage 1 assessments: A small scale study in a London borough. International Journal of Early Childhood
“In terms of equality of opportunity summer born children are not gaining equal access to the curriculum by virtue of their date of birth.”
(Cleborne 1981) School Entry Age in a Group of Gifted Children
“Since this study was conducted only in grades five through eight and in a state where entry was not allowed until age 6-0, it is reasonable to assume that replication with younger groups of gifted children, or in states which allow entry to first grade prior to age 6-0 in the absence of readiness testing would yield even more dramatic results.”
“In the absence of such programs, parents may wish to consider delaying first-grade entrance for those children who would be early entrants and who show signs of immaturity. States and/or school districts which allow entry to first grade prior to age 6-0 might consider revising this requirement upward, at least until and unless screening and testing programs are in place.”
“The results of this research actually argue for entry based on factors other than chronological age for all children, gifted or otherwise.”
“It seems likely that the age at entry phenomenon will continue to result in more early-entering children being placed in classes for children with learning problems, while fewer early-entering children are identified as gifted.”
(Head 1999) Understanding the Boyes: Issues of Behaviour and Achievement.
Too early formalisation of learning is known to affect boys more profoundly than girls and the likely consequence is boys’ alienation from education and learning.
(Bedard 2006) The persistence of early childhood maturity: international evidence of long-run age effects
“These findings suggest that retention may partly ameliorate the disadvantage of being relatively young… In general, the low failure rate countries (England, Iceland, Japan, and Norway) have large relative age effects… countries that employ social promotion (automatic promotion from one grade to the next) and claim to have only one track are implicitly streaming to the extent that the weakest students are allowed to fall progressively farther behind… In particular, there is no evidence of relative age effects in Denmark or Finland. However, one should expect weak relative age effects in countries where formal curriculum based education begins later because initial age differences will be less important.”
(RR424 DFES; Malcolm 2003) Absence from School: A study of its causes and effects in seven LEAs.
“Key findings indicate that: Most LEAs and teachers thought that absence led to underachievement; Teachers could not always give children the help they needed to make up lost time; Secondary school teachers believed that academic underachievement would damage children’s future job prospects.”
(Tymms 2004) Children starting school in Scotland
“There was a stronger relationship [between age and measured attainment] in England. That is to be expected, at least to some extent, since the mean age of children starting school was lower than in Scotland and age is a more important factor for younger children than older.”
(Bernardi 2014) A Regression Discontinuity Based on Month of Birth
Italy: “Results indicate that students born just before the cutoff date for primary school entry, who are consequently the youngest in the class when starting school, face a larger risk of grade repetition. In line with theoretical predictions of the compensatory advantage model, the risk is much smaller for students born to highly educated parents compared to students whose parents have lower educational attainment.” [Except in England, we rarely employ grade repetition, so a SB child seriously struggling in Year 1 or 2 for example will simply continue with his year group regardless.]
(Sharp 1995) What’s age got to do with it? A study of patterns of school entry and the impact of season of birth on school attainment
“Data from [KS1 and GCSE] assessments confirm that children who are older in the year‐group perform best (although there are some anomalies evident in the month on month trends). It is argued that these findings are due to the differences in age when taking the tests, but may also be influenced by ‘age‐position effects’ and entry policies.”

SA rowers Brittain and Smith qualify for Tokyo Olympics
LINZ – SA Men’s heavyweight rowing pair John Smith and Lawrence Brittain have qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
The team will be aiming high, South Africa rowing coach Roger Barrows said, following the results of the B-finals at the World Rowing Championships in Linz, Austria, which concluded on Sunday.
The all-important race saw the top five boats qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, with nearly 1200 athletes from 80 nations competing.
Barrows said: “South Africa’s Smith and Brittain moved away from the quickest at the start. Smith has an Olympic gold medal from the lightweight four and has successfully transitioned to the open weight class.
“The pair were SA’s only boat to book qualification for the Games in Austria, with two other crews missing out on what could be termed a disappointing campaign by SA.”
The men’s four missed qualification by four spots and the lightweight women’s double sculls by five meaning they will try again at a qualification regatta in Switzerland in May.
“The women’s pair a late inclusion after they had made the podium at the under-23 world championships were also five spots off. It’s a statistical fact that crews qualifying in May have a good chance of winning medals at the Olympics. We still believe we can do better next year,” Barrows said.
With a race that had the audience on the edge of their seats, Brittain and Smith, who in the past won gold at the Belarus U23 World Champs hosted in 2010, managed to beat other participants and qualified the Men’s Pair for Tokyo 2020.
Other Olympic qualifiers with South Africa included Serbia’s Mackovic and Vasic along with Canada, Romania, Belarus.
Rowing South Africa chair Paolo Cavalieri said: “The competition was at an all-time high standard, with very tight finishes in the top 12.
“We are pleased with the Rand Merchant Bank National Squads results under the circumstances and delighted to have qualified the men’s heavyweight pair for the Olympics.
“Hard work to come, but first a well-deserved break for the next few weeks. We have all it takes for a good Tokyo 2020.”

Darren S. Chin, MD
Aesthetic Specialist located in Scotch Plains, NJ
For patients on a quest to smoother and tighter skin and wrinkle-reduction, Dr. Darren Chin of the Ohana Medical Spa is a highly experienced aesthetic specialist providing ultherapy and the Forma system in Scotch Plains, New Jersey. Using advanced ultrasound technology, Ultherapy stimulates your body’s natural collagen production to yield a smoother, firmer, and more natural-looking complexion. The innovative VirtueRF and OPUS Plasma systems use radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen the deeper layers of your skin for tightening in addition to improving skin texture and tone. For quality, compassionate care, visit Dr. Darren Chin and the Ohana Medical Spa team. Call or book your consultation online.
Ultherapy & Skin Tightening Q & A
What is ultherapy?
With aging, skin can start to sag and become loose, and collagen production can decrease.
Ultherapy is a revolutionary technology that works to tighten and lift your skin using ultrasound waves, working gradually to tighten the skin and boost collagen production. It’s noninvasive and can be performed in the office.
Dr. Chin uses an ultrasound device to view your muscles and deep connective tissue below your skin and administer concentrated, targeted ultrasound energy. The energy and low levels of focused heat cause your muscles to contract and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production.
During your treatment, Dr. Chin applies a special gel to prepare the treatment area and allow the ultherapy device to glide over your skin. Dr. Chin then applies precise energy for a select amount of time.
The entire ultherapy treatment usually takes anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour. You might experience mild redness and swelling, but this subsides within a few hours. You can resume your daily activities immediately after your treatment.
Within a few months, you'll notice the results of your ultherapy treatment, and some people notice that their skin is tighter right away.
Who is a good candidate for ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a safe and effective treatment for most people, but the best candidates have lost some elasticity in their skin and have clear and realistic expectations about what they’d like to achieve.
If you have certain skin conditions or medical complications, you might not be a good candidate for ultherapy. Dr. Chin helps you decide on the best treatment options to tighten your skin and if ultherapy is right for you.
What is VirtueRF and OPUS Plasma?
VirtueRF is a microneedling resurfacing technology to improve the textures of the skin and coupled with radiofrequency heat to reach the deeper layers of your skin and improve skin elasticity and collagen production — two key components of healthier and younger-looking skin.
Opus Plasma is an innovative skin resurfacing technology to improve the skin’s tone and texture with minimal downtime. This technology combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with plasma created when the RF energy emitted from the tips of metal pins react to atmospheric pressure.
The radiofrequency causes skin contraction, stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, and is most commonly used on the forehead, around the eyes, on the nasolabial folds, and on the neck.
Dr. Chin has helped countless happy patients get closer to achieving their cosmetic goals. If you're interested in learning more about how these technologies can work for you, call or click to book online today.
