Your First Significant Woman in Oklahoma Agriculture Honoree- Gaye Pfeiffer of Mulhall
This past year, the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture began asking for nominations for ladies involved in agriculture that they could recognize on a regular basis.
This story about Gaye Pfeiffer
is the first in a series of stories on Significant Women in Oklahoma Agriculture. The project is a collaborative program between the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food & Forestry and Oklahoma State University to recognize and honor the impact of countless women across all 77 counties of the state, from all aspects and areas of the agricultural industry. The honorees were nominated by their peers and selected by a committee of 14 industry professionals.
Our friend Bryan Painter writes this tribute to Gaye- and here are the first part of the salute to this Significant Woman in Oklahoma Agriculture:
The gray late-winter morning with its damp, cold air doesn't seem to bother Gaye Pfeiffer of Mulhall. She is focused on the topic of agriculture, and she punctuates each of her statements with a smile.
For more than five decades, Oklahoma agriculture has come to cherish that gesture as the smile of a producer, friend and outstanding advocate.
Recently salesmen from a large national foodservice distribution company visited the northern Logan County farming and ranching operation Gaye and husband John have built since their marriage in 1981.
"We showed them around, took them out to the cows, everything. They are always amazed that there's so much science involved," she said. "Before they get here, they think you just walk out in the pasture, you throw some hay out and you look at your cows. With a tour like this they see what you think about and what you care about. They see the connection and how the product is produced. Communication is so important."Click or tap here

for this honor and spotlight. She and John have been friends since those early days of their marriage when John was a classmate of ours in the first Oklahoma Ag Leadership Program class. They are good people!

The Leadership of the National Association of Wheat Growers
has gathered in San Antonio this week for the 2017 Commodity Classic. Part of the reason for NAWG's volunteer leaders to gather is to be involved in meetings where the group essentially is developing a blueprint for their policy priorities for the upcoming Farm Bill.
Our associate,Carson Horn
, was there to speak with NAWG's Chief Executive Officer Chandler Goule about what issues have cropped up attracting the group's attention in recent weeks leading up to the start of Farm Bill discussions.
"Between the election and the Farm Bill and some trade implications but also rolling back of regulations for farmers has kind of a hodge-podge of good and bad and what do we do and where do we go," Goule recounted, "so it's been a very exciting eight months."Click or tap here

|President Trump Gets Another Cabinet Position Approved- Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke
The National Cattlemen's Beef Association
and the Public Lands Council
hailed the U.S. Senate's confirmation of Ryan Zinke
to be the next U.S. Secretary of the Interior on Wednesday..
"This is great news for America's ranchers and cattle producers," NCBA President Craig Uden
said. "Ryan Zinke has an outstanding record advocating for Western communities and ranchers, and for the real inclusion of stakeholders' voices in the decisions that affect them. We look forward to working with Secretary Zinke to restore common sense and balance on issues like public lands management, conservation, and endangered species."
Also pleased with the confirmation vote was the American Farm Bureau
- President Zippy Duvall
"Secretary Zinke does not have an easy task before him, but we are confident he's up to the challenge. He's a proven leader committed to responsible land use and energy development. Agriculture is ready for an Interior Department that recognizes the importance of active land management and works with us, rather than pushes us out. From arbitrary grazing reductions to overpopulation of wild horses and burros to an outdated Endangered Species Act, farmers and ranchers have suffered for too long.
"Ryan Zinke will bring much-needed balance to the management of our nation's land and natural resources. Farmers and ranchers are ready for an interior secretary that will work with agriculture to fulfill its mission to protectand manage America's natural resources and cultural heritage.
One of the most outspoken agricultural groups against the Waters of the US Rule that was advanced in 2015 by the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers has been the National Cattlemen's Beef Association
. They cheered the Federal Court in Cincinnati that put a national stay in place against the rule last year as jurisdictional issues needed to be sorted out before any ruling on the merits could take place. As candidate Donald Trump
campaigned this past fall- he pledged that WOTUS would be dismantled if he was elected President of the United States.
That happened- and his promise to move against the EPA rule was kept with the Executive Order
President Trump signed on Tuesday, directing the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers to reconsider WOTUS and to consider a more traditional viewpoint on what a navigable water really is.
With the signing of this Federal Executive Order, the cheering among cattle producers has begun. Colin Woodall
of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association says that "We are absolutely thrilled with the Executive Order that sets the stage for this rule to be rescinded or utterly revamped and changed."
Colin's reaction to the Executive Order of President Trump is featured today in this Beef Buzz- click or tap here

|Genetic Literacy Project Calls Out Shoddy Journalism of New York Times on Food and Farming Coverage
has written a new article for the web publication GeneticLiteracyProject about how the New York Times continues to come up short in their coveage of food and farming.
Entine points to the longstanding love that the newspaper has had for Michael Pollan
- a blogger who makes no bones about wanting to bash modern production agriculture every chance he can get. Entine contends he has gotten a free pass for a long time at the New York Times- Pollan apparently agrees- based on this quote from a video from 2013-
The media has really been on our side for the most part. I know this from writing for the New York Times.... [W]hen I wrote about food I never had to give equal time to the other side. I could say whatever I thought and offer my own conclusions. Say you should buy grass fed beef and organic is better, and these editors in New York didn't realize there is anyone who disagrees with that point of view. So, I felt like I got a free ride for a long time.
Entine writes "It's startling that a reputable journalist would boast about manipulating editors who shared a reflexively and uncritical anti-industry-and in this case, an anti-science-worldview. Pollan went on to bemoan that because of pushback from the science community, he now finds it increasingly difficult to present only his biased side of the story:"
There is something called the Food Dialogues presented in various places to talk about how food is produced and greater transparency. ... So, I think they have kind of spooked the newspapers into realizing they need to give equal time on this issue and it is an issue with two sides.
Food Dialogues are the creation of the US Farmer Rancher Alliance- and have served as a balance to those that want to criticize modern farming and ranching non stop.

The creditors of a Texas music and arts festival have cut ties with its founder following claims of sexual assault.
In a Facebook post shared on Sunday (August 12), Day for Night creditors passed on a message that they were “shocked and saddened” to hear the allegations and had decided to cut Afra from any ownership or involvement in the festival.
He wrote: “I have no choice but to fight back against allegations that are patently false.”
Ramos, who said she had a professional relationship with Afra due to her photography work, claimed that Afra forcibly kissed and groped her at the Free Press office in October 2010 after she photographed a concert at Fitzgerald’s, a nightclub owned by Afra.
In her Facebook post Ramos wrote: “I was afraid, in shock and felt unsafe in my own city and creative community.
“I gave up on my passion for photography. My career and personal life completely changed. I moved across the world to Africa to get as far away as possible.”
Hamilton claimed that Afra forcibly kissed her after talking to him about a job opportunity at Day for Night. She said the incident happened in October 2017.
The future of the festival is unclear.

It takes bravery to enter into another person’s mess.
It does. I know. Unfortunately, the mess is normally mine (and mine to keep), and it’s the brave souls that God has blessed me with in my life that are the commendable ones.
And the bravery I have seen from them over the last seven months, especially in the last month… it’s something special.
I’m going to say it flat out: a year ago, I would not have known the first thing to say to someone who lost a child.
I would go through all of the typical responses I had heard over the years in an effort to counsel them or give them advice. I would probably say a lot of things wrong. I hope I would at least say something, but maybe I would have avoided the situation all together. I honestly don’t know, and I don’t envy the people in our lives who are now left with this battle of trying to figure out how to support us in what is uncharted territory for most of them.
Over the past year, I have gleaned wisdom from others living with one child in heaven, and in the past month, I have journeyed this firsthand. It’s a messy journey, that’s for sure. I keep saying that situations so painful and a life so beautiful as Charlie’s, good and more good has to come from it. The loss of a life so precious has to be redeemed.
To those of you that know someone who has lost a child, I’d like to share a tiny slice of my experience thus far in hopes to help you support them.
To those of you who have lost a child, I’ve got your back.
Tips for loving those that have lost a child
(In no particular order):
1. Don’t dig. I say this one first, because this totally would have been me even six months ago.
In my life and in the lives of others I have come to know whose children have also died, there have been people who try to draw the emotion and the “true feelings” out of us. I don’t think that is their motivation. I think they genuinely want to help, and they feel like trying to counsel is the best way they can.
Please don’t dig. Let parents offer up how they are “really” doing when they are ready, and don’t be offended if they never choose to confide in you or come to you.
Don’t be intrusive unless you know them very well. And I mean very well. Most I know would rather be given space to offer up their true feelings.
Still feel free to check in on them, but just don’t dig.
2. Talk about their child. Parents who have recently lost a child have not forgotten their child. On any given day or any given moment of the day, if the child is not at the forefront of their mind, the tiniest reminder will bring them there.

Travis Thomas and Jonathon Halloran were sworn in this week as Crown Point's two newest police officers. | Supplied photo
Updated: September 10, 2013 1:11PM

Froman completed 12 of 16 passes for 235 yards and had touchdown tosses of 39, 48, 4, 28 yards to help the Cardinals build a 35-0 halftime lead in front of 48,427 fans in their homecoming.
Powell, who finished with 18 carries, scored on runs of 74 and 10 yards for Louisville, which begins Big East Conference play next week against Cincinnati.
The Cardinals (3-2) couldn't convert on their first possession of the game against their former Conference USA and Metro Conference rival, but scored on their subsequent five against a team near the bottom of the Football Bowl Subdivision in defensive statistics.
The Tigers (1-5) came in ranked 94th among 120 FBS schools in total defense (408.8 yards per game), and they nearly gave up their average in the first half. The Cardinals compiled 380 yards of total offense in building their five-touchdown lead.
The first shutout victory for first-year Louisville coach Charlie Strong was also the Cardinals' first in four years. Louisville limited Memphis, which entered ranked 110th nationally in total offense and 113th in scoring offense, to just 224 yards of total offense.
Louisville turned Memphis' first -- and only -- turnover into its first points. Cornerback Johnny Patrick picked off a pass by Tigers quarterback Ryan Williams at the Cardinals' 19 and returned it 20 yards. It took Louisville six plays to take the lead it wouldn't relinquish.
The last of those was Froman's first TD pass -- a 39-yarder to Graham.
The Cardinals erupted for 28 second-period points on quick drives of one, six, one and three plays.
Six seconds into the second quarter, on first-and-10 at the Memphis 48, the Cardinals lined up in their "Wild card" formation. Powell took the shotgun snap and handed it off to running back Vic Anderson, who then flipped to Froman. The quarterback, who had lined up as a wide receiver on the play, then found a wide open Chichester in the middle of the field for a 48-yard touchdown.
Froman then sandwiched a pair of touchdown passes of 4 and 28 yards to Bellamy around Powell's 74-yard TD sprint. Powell added another touchdown run, after which Strong pulled most of his starters, early in the third quarter.
Louisville's defense did the rest, holding the Tigers to only 39 rushing yards on 34 carries, in recording the program's first shutout since a 62-0 win at Temple on Sept. 9, 2006.

$ 7 737 720 (Estimation: 6 800 000 €) Collalto sabino, Italy
CASTELLO BARONALE - LAZIO, ITALY
An impressive and historical Castle dating back to 1350 with a fort dating back to 950 AD.
The residential part of this remarkable Castle was modified by every noble family that owned it, which included famous Italian nobility such as the Savellis, the Strozzis and the Soderini family from Florence. The presence of every owner is clear in the form of family crests or architectural modifications. The most important occupant was Cardinal Barberini, nephew of Pope Urban VIII, who purchased the Castle in 1641. The famous family symbol, the bee, which is above the main altar in the Vatican is also seen all around the Castle.
The Castle was restored to its former glory in the 19th Century and more recently in 1988 when it underwent major restoration and refurbishment. Further enhancements were carried out by its present owners in 2006.
All rooms enjoy both external hillside views as well as internal courtyard views due to the Castle being built in a V shape.
The central part of the Castle consists of a very well maintained and lived in environment comprising of 9 bedrooms that sleep a total of 19 persons, 7 bathrooms, with the possibility of further bedrooms, 3 drawing rooms, a grand ballroom, a study, library and theatre.
The property has a footprint of approximately 3,000 sqm set in just under 7,000 sqm of carefully maintained gardens with just over 10,000 sqm of additional land located adjacent to the Castle walls. Outbuildings include gatekeeper’s private residential quarters, a tavern with a medieval oven and a number of utility and storage rooms.
The Castle also boasts a separate and private self-contained apartment consisting of 2 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large combined living and dining room, and kitchen. This apartment is serviced by a lift from the servants’ quarters.
The old fort, which is the most historical part of the Castle is located within the Castle grounds, and arguably one of the most impressive parts of the Castle. It has not been touched since the 17th Century when the construction of the Clock Tower by Cardinal Barberini took place. It is from here that one can truly appreciate the beautiful rolling countryside, thanks to superb 360 degree views of the hills
and some of Italy’s most spectacular mountains and ski resorts.
Grounds and Gardens:
The property is accessed through the drawbridge, which takes one onto the main village square. Alternatively there is a spectacular driveway that runs through the extensive and well kept private and secluded park and garden.
The landscaped gardens have been maintained beautifully over the past 15 years and designed in such a way that every season it is fully in bloom.
The same very rare Cedar of Lebanon trees that are found in the Vatican gardens were planted in the gardens surrounding the Castle by Cardinal Barberini.
The tennis court and heated pool are barely visible and tucked away behind the trees and creepers.
The flat area with covered grass around the fort is a perfect location for entertaining.
• 9 bedrooms
• 4 receptions
• 7 bathrooms
• Swimming pool
• Secondary accommodation
• Tennis court
• Staff accommodation
• Utility Rooms
• 2995.9 Sq m ca.

FBI Employs High-Tech Net to Snag Alleged Hackers
SEATTLE – Invita Security Corp. looked like a typical Internet company: It had offices, computers, employees and a secure computer system. The only thing missing was the customers.
Far from being a failed start-up, the aptly named Invita turned out to be a bogus company set up by the FBI to ensnare two young Russians accused of breaking into U.S. Internet companies' computers, stealing sensitive data and trying to extort money.
Authorities say Alexey Ivanov, 21, and Vasily Gorshkov, 25, both of Chelyabinsk, fell for the bait. They were arrested and jailed on charges including conspiracy and fraud and are set for trial May 29 in federal court in Seattle.
The FBI declined to comment. But in recently unsealed court documents that read like a spy novel, agents tell how they snagged the alleged thieves by creating the shell company and inviting Ivanov and Gorshkov to try to hack into it.
After Ivanov and Gorshkov succeeded from afar, FBI agents posing as Invita employees invited the two to Seattle to discuss a partnership and further display their hacking prowess.
As the Russians demonstrated their skills at the shell company, the FBI used a computer eavesdropping technique to reach across the Internet and break into the suspects' own computer system in Russia.
Internet security experts say the case illustrates well how the FBI's cybercrime-fighting abilities have evolved -- though the defense is questioning the legality of the agency's methods.
"What they did was phenomenal. It was exceptionally effective," says Kevin Mandia, who worked for the Air Force office of special investigations and taught FBI courses in hacker attacks before joining the Irvine, Calif., Internet security company Foundstone. "Five years ago they wouldn't be able to do that kind of thing."
Mandia says that the FBI, after being ridiculed as ill-equipped to fight computer crime, has made remarkable progress, including adding a program that has trained more than 1,000 agents in cybercrime.
The FBI believes the Russian suspects or their associates could have been involved in hundreds of crimes against U.S. companies, including Kirkland-based Lightrealm.com, an Internet access company, and Palo Alto, Calif.-based PayPal, an online payment business.
First, the FBI alleges, the hackers broke into computer systems. Then, authorities say, they sent e-mails to company officials demanding payment in exchange for not distributing or destroying sensitive documents including financial records.
After tracking down the suspects over the Internet, the FBI invited them to Seattle in November for the Invita gambit.
Court records show that while Gorshkov was using an Invita computer, the FBI secretly used a "sniffer" program that logs every keystroke a person types.
Using passwords recorded by the "sniffer," the FBI was then able to enter the computers in Russia where Gorshkov kept his data and download immense amounts of information.
In court documents, Gorshkov's lawyer, Kenneth E. Kanev, has challenged the FBI's right to use that material, claiming his client's privacy was invaded because he did not consent to have his computer usage recorded. Kanev contends the FBI should have obtained a search warrant before downloading the information.
The investigators say they were forced to follow this procedure because they needed to secure the incriminating information before the two suspects' Russian counterparts destroyed the data.
The Invita case could define how far U.S. law enforcement can go to catch non-citizens who break into American systems.
"This case is going to resolve a very thorny legal question," says Marc J. Zwillinger, a former Justice Department computer expert now in private practice in Washington.
The case could test the admissibility of evidence obtained through the covert recording of computer keystrokes, a technique the FBI also used in a case against an alleged mobster in New Jersey, Nicodemo S. Scarfo Jr., that is expected to go to trial later this year.
Today's most serious hacker threats come from outside the United States or go through computers abroad. Russian hackers, in particular, have been behind several of the biggest Internet theft cases.

'Helen' is being made by Egoli Tossell films and Goran's name is now listed on their website for the film.
I am excited about this, I think. I have always enjoyed Ashley Judd but even more so since she said on a talk show that she was for sure and certain she was a hetrosexual because she had to kiss Salma Hayek in 'Frida'. She said if you can kiss Salma Hayek and feel nothing, you KNOW you can't be gay. She was just SO so cute. Heh
(And don't go after me with the homophobe label again. I am not. It had Nothing to do with that.....she was just so sweet and CUTE. )
It's been confirmed in Variety that Goran has joined the movie Helen, though it doesn't say anything about the part he has:
Goran Visnjic joins Judd in 'Helen' Film is Nettelbeck's English-language debut By MICHAEL FLEMING Visnjic
Goran Visnjic will join Ashley Judd in "Helen," the English-language debut of Sandra Nettelbeck, writer and director of "Mostly Martha." Judd plays a woman who gives the illusion of leading a perfect life but actually harbors a dark secret.
Pic, which also stars Lauren Lee Smith, just began shooting, backed by the Little Film Co. (which will sell worldwide rights at AFM), German-based Egoli Tossell and Insight Film Studios. Aramid Entertainment is co-financing.
Judy Tossell is producing and Jens Meurer is exec producer.
'Helen' is being screened at Sundance at the end of the month. An article on BleuProfind reported that Ashley Judd and a couple other stars would be at the festival. Sadly, Goran wasn't listed. Happily...he may be busy doing something else! : )
Well, screenings at Sundance are gennerally an effort to seek out a distributor. I think we have a quicker chance of seeing him in the Hallmark movie at this point. Sad...because I enjoy watching Ashley Judd on screen as well.
It's premiering at Sundance over the next week, the initial talk was that it might release in February, no set date as yet though. There are pics up at BP2 of Goran and the cast from the first screening last night.

Sète is an attractive fishing village just 18 miles (28 kilometers) southeast of Montpellier. Important for over 300 years, it still has a lively fishing port lined with buildings painted with colors of rich ochre, rust, and blue. This is the place for some of the best seafood in France, prepared from the catches that land up in the harbor daily. Sète also makes a good base for exploring the surrounding region and the sparkling Mediterranean coast.
It is near some of the great cities of the area, like Perpignan in the south and Beziers. And if you want to go further, explore the region along the Spanish border where the two countries merge into each other in the Catalan culture.
What to See
The top part of the town climbs up Mont St-Clair to the panoramic parc des Pierres Blanches. From here the view takes you over the bassin de Thau, onto the Cevennes, le pic St-Loup, and the coast dotted with lakes and small towns. On a clear day, you can see the Pyrenees and to the east as far as the Alpilles hills.
The little Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette chapel was originally part of a hermitage, built as protection against pirates by the Duke of Montmorency.
Walk down the marked path to the sailor’s cemetery which has the tomb of French actor and theatre director Jean Vilar, but more importantly the tomb of the poet Paul Valéry.
A few steps further you’ll come to the Paul Valéry Museum which has works by artists inspired by the little town. On the first floor, there is a room dedicated to the poet displays original editions, manuscripts, and watercolors.
If you’re a fan of Georges Brassens (1921 to 1981), the Espace Brassens gives you a bit more information about the life of the famous singer-songwriter.
Down by the sea, the old port forms the lively center of town. Little bridges over the canals take you to a bewildering choice of small restaurants and bars. On the southeast corner the Môle St-Louis juts out into the sea. Built-in 1666, it’s used today as a base for training top-level sailing.
Walk north and you’ll pass the CRAC (Centre regional d’art contemporain). This contemporary art gallery converted from a former fish freezing warehouse holds excellent temporary exhibitions all year round.
Be sure to stop by the tourist office for maps and local information.

Phone: 00 33 (0)4 67 74 71 71
It's All About the Sea
The beaches are the reason many people come to Sète. The plage du Lazaret is near the center of town. Go a little over one mile (two kilometers) out of the center and you’ll come to la plage de la Corniche, ideal for children. Those after some gentle exercise can walk along the six-mile (10 kilometers) spur of fine golden sand to reach Marseillan.
For water sports fans, this is an ideal destination. There is hardly any water activity, from sailing to swimming to scuba diving, that isn’t possible here.
Sète also hosts famous water-jousting tournaments when teams in boats attempt to unseat their opponents by rowing as fast as possible towards each other. Each boat has a lance-carrying jouster; the idea is to unseat your opponent and preferably chuck him into the sea.
Go down to the harbor and take a boat trip out to sea.
Daytrips From Sète
Sète makes an excellent base for day trips. At the western end of the Bassin de Thau, Agde is a delightful coastal town that began as a Phoenician town, trading with the Levant.
To the south of Mont St-Loup, Cap d’Agde is one of the most successful, and largest, naturist resorts in France.
A little further afield to the east, Nimes is one of the great Roman cities of the south of France.
Aigues-Mortes is on the edge of the Camargue. Called the city of dead waters, it's an evocative place, built on a strict grid pattern. The city has good hotels, many of them by the defensive ramparts.
Go down to the French border with Spain and visit the beautiful, and underrated Cote Vermeille.
Where to Stay
The Orque Bleue Hotel is a charming boutique hotel right on the canal and by the fishing port. The 19th-century building houses 30 nicely decorated rooms, and there’s a garage.
10 Quai Aspirant Herber, 34200 Sète
Phone: 00 33 (0)4 67 74 72 13
The 3-star Grand Hotel on the canal is the place if you want something more upmarket. Looking directly onto the canal, it has large comfortable rooms, a pool, and a gym. The restaurant is bistro style with good seafood and fish dishes.
17 Quai de Tassingy, 34200 Sète
Phone: 00 33 (0)4 67 74 71 77
Where and What to Eat
A local Sète specialty found on many menus is bouillabaisse. This popular and hearty stew combining fish and shellfish actually got its start as a low-cost lunch for hard-working fishermen by mixing together the day’s catches that didn’t sell at market. Other Sètois fish specialties include le tielle, a fish and tomato tort, and la rouille de seiche, a mix of fish, tomato sauce, and aioli.
8 Quai Général Durand, 34200 Sète
Phone: 00 33 (0)4 67 74 59 69
A good, inexpensive place for seafood, particularly mussels. The restaurant also has a fish shop at Port-Loupian.
47 Rue Pierre Semard, 34200 Sète
Phone: 00 33 (0)4 67 74 97 73
Delightful husband-and-wife run restaurant with an outside terrace. Go for the excellent seafood and friendly service.

Just about everyone – regardless of age, gender, ethnic background, or lifestyle has the power to save at least one life.
As we celebrate Valentine’s Day, let’s pause for a moment to also recognize National Organ Donor Day.
Here are some powerful numbers to consider:
- 110,296 people in the U.S. are waiting for an organ
- every 11 minutes, someone is put on the donor waiting list
- An average of 75 people receive organ transplants each day. However, an average of 20 people die each day waiting for transplants that can’t take place because of the shortage of donated organs.
- one organ donor can save up to eight lives
- As of November 2010, the national waiting list included 45% White, 29% Black, 18% Hispanic, and 6% Asian patients.


TRANSFORMERS: configurable trucks for efficient transport.
Hybrid drive, e-mobility, energy efficiency, CO2 reduction, load volume sensor
The increasing freight traffic on Europe’s roads requires improvements in truck efficiency. In the EU research project TRANSFORMERS, an international consortium has taken on this task. As part of the collaboration, Fraunhofer LBF developed a sensor system for measuring the load volume and a battery housing to supply an electric auxiliary drive in the trailer.
The TRANSFORMERS trailers (Fig. 1) enable a reduction in the fuel consumption of up to 25%, particularly for palletized goods. This is achieved by the mission-specific adaptation of the structure, an electric auxiliary drive installed in the trailer, an adjustable loading capacity and holistically optimized aerodynamics.
The Van Eck load-optimization trailer has an electric roof height adjuster, a load volume sensor and a double floor system.
For example, if the maximum permissible mass of the trailer is reached without its volume being fully utilized, the roof can be lowered to reduce the aerodynamic drag. The current utilization is determined in each case by the sensor system developed by LBF for measuring the load height (Fig. 2).
If, however, the maximum permissible mass has not yet been reached, pallets can be loaded one top of one another using the double floor system to fully utilize the maximum load height and thus increase transport efficiency.

Fig. 3a: Key components for integration in the battery housing (image: Fraunhofer LBF)
Fig. 3b: Arrangement of the various components in the battery housing (image: Fraunhofer LBF)
The Schmitz Cargobull hybrid-on-demand trailer has a manual roof height adjuster and a hybrid-on-demand drive with energy recovery. Similarly to the load-optimization trailer, the trailer’s roof height can be adjusted to the actual load height to reduce the aerodynamic drag.
As a commonly named hybrid-on-demand system, the electric drive-train installed in the trailer ensures additional power is available at short notice, e.g. for overcoming uphill gradients or when starting. Similarly, braking energy which is otherwise lost can be recovered on downhill sections of the journey.
The battery with associated power electronics and the necessary cooling system must be securely fastened to the underbody of the trailer during operation and must be protected from environmental impacts (e.g. stone-chipping) in harsh everyday use. The robust housing necessary for this has been designed and constructed at Fraunhofer LBF and constitutes a mechanically reliable connection to the trailer (Fig. 3).
Fig. 4a1: Maximum permissible mass – maximum aerodynamic drag.
Fig. 4a2: Adjustable loading capacity – up to 20% less aerodynamic drag
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development, and demonstration under grant agreement no 605170.
The TRANSFORMERS consortium consists of the partners Volvo, Bosch, DAF, Fehrl, Fraunhofer IVI, Fraunhofer LBF, IFSTTAR, Uniresearch B. V., IRU Projects, P&G, Schmitz Cargobull, TNO, Van Eck and Virtual Vehicle Competence Center.

Our Courts, Ourselves: How The Alternative Dispute Resolution Movement Is Re-Shaping Our Legal System, Deborah R. Hensler
Dickinson Law Review (2017-Present)
Twenty-seven years ago, Professor Frank Sander urged American lawyers and judges to re-imagine the civil courts as a collection of dispute resolution procedures tailored to fit the variety of disputes that parties bring to the justice system. Professor Sander’s vision of the justice system encompassed traditional litigation leading to trial, but his speech at the 1976 Roscoe Pound Conference drew attention to alternatives to traditional dispute resolution that he argued would better serve disputants and society than traditional adversarial processes.
Today, interest in dispute resolution is high. This interest cuts across many domains, ranging from the family, to the schoolyard, …

What is the cause of gigantomastia?
Every human wants to live the best life they could possibly have. We all know that in reality there is no perfect life as we humans will always be faced with problems and issues. If you are born with a normal human body and able to live a good life, you should be grateful and always count your blessings. In this DoctorOnCall’s article, we will learn about gigantomastia which can cause great worries to people as it may seem weird or even causing discomfort.
Before learning more about gigantomastia, you may want to understand more about breast itself as this condition affects the specific body part. Breast is usually associated with women as the main function of it is to feed the offspring. It is also regarded as an external identification of femininity or part of sexual attractiveness. Surprisingly, men also have breasts but it is usually not that visible and not functional like in women. The main part of the breast is the nipple, lobes, milk ducts, areola and tissues which is the fatty and fibrous one.
Gigantomastia is an uncommon condition characterised by a large breast size. This breast growth may occur spontaneously, developed in pregnancy or when a person hits puberty. It may also occur as side effects from certain medications. Gigantomastia is often referred to as the particular weight of excess breast tissue. Breast growth in gigantomastia may occur for a few years but there are cases where it occurs only within a few weeks. Gigantomastia can be considered as a benign condition which means it is rarely a cancerous disease.
What is the cause of gigantomastia? It is not fully known why and how gigantomastia occurs but it is said due to the female hormones such as estrogen. This means that a person may have increased sensitivity towards the female hormones or have genetics making them easily affected by the hormones. However, some women may have the condition spontaneously without any apparent causes. Gigantomastia has been associated with puberty, pregnancy, medication such as cyclosporine and certain autoimmune diseases such as SLE and myasthenia gravis.
Even though gigantomastia is regarded as a benign condition, the symptoms can be a great challenge to those affected by the condition. Symptoms such as breast pain (mastalgia), ulceration or infection to the skin surrounding the breast, skin abrasion, back pain, posture problems and loss of nipple sensation due to the chronic traction injury, are among the common symptoms experienced by those with gigantomastia.
Those with symptoms of gigantomastia might want to get checked by a doctor. This is to ensure it is not something serious. Doctors diagnose gigantomastia based on the patient’s history and physical examination. In most cases, another diagnostic test is not needed, with exception of there is suspicion of other underlying problems.
There is no standard treatment for gigantomastia. Treatment provided will depend on the case or symptoms. If there is a sign of infection, doctors may prescribe antibiotics to curb the infection. Pain can be dealt with over-the-counter medication. Ulcers can be relieved with warm dressing to improve the condition. In most cases however, patients might want to consider surgery to reduce the breast size. Common surgery is the reduction of mammoplasty. This surgery reduces the breast tissue. Doctors may also prescribe medication that help to slow down or stop the breast growth such as bromocriptine and medroxyprogesterone. These drugs can be given before or after the surgery. In some cases, patients may be considered to go for mastectomy. Mastectomy is a procedure of removing all breast tissues. Implant can be given following mastectomy. For pregnant women with gigantomastia, treatment usually is not needed as it usually goes away after giving birth but may consider surgery to reduce the breast size.
While it is true that gigantomastia is harmless and its symptoms are not life-threatening, patients with this condition may want to consider getting medical advice to treat it. This is to avoid the many complications that could arise such as difficulty to be physically active and emotional distress such as depression, anxiety, body image problems and avoidance towards social settings due to embarrassment and harassment. Gigantomastia in women who have just given birth may have problems in feeding the baby and are likely to get breasts sore when feeding the baby. This will affect the baby’s growth and development due to lack of nutrition.
It can be concluded that gigantomastia is a condition of excessive breast growth. It is a harmless condition as it does not cause cancer or spread to other parts of the body. Despite it not being a dangerous condition, its complications such as posture and back problems, likelihood of infections and even emotional distress, are valid reasons for patients to get treated. Treatment such as reduction surgery is often recommended in most cases. Mastectomy is the definitive treatment for gigantomastia but this may not be recommended in most cases.

URALLA Shire Council (USC) has back-flipped on its decision to allow a divisive supermarket extension to go ahead.
Councillors voted five to four to rescind the decision it make just one week earlier, at an extraordinary meeting on Tuesday.
The FoodWorks development application entered by owner Peter Hay has been deferred to address concerns about traffic and pedestrian management, disability access, impacts on trees and access to surrounding museum buildings.
Five residents addressed the council along with the developer on Tuesday and each of the councillors stated their point of view.
The extension has been opposed by the Uralla Historical Society (UHS) from the start, with members concerned the "bulky" look of the proposal would diminish the architecture of the main street.
President Louis van Ekert said he was pleased with the decision to hold off.
"It is what it is, democracy in action," he said.
USC General manager had expressed concerns that a further deferral of the project could put the council's planning powers in jeopardy, after it had already deferred it once for more community consultation.
Councillors Tara Toomey, Bob Crouch, Tom O'Connor, Levi Sampson and Robert Bell moved the rescission motion.
It's unclear when the DA will come back before the council for decision.

Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves drew a transparent distinction between the Trump and Biden administrations on “The Ingraham Angle” on Friday night time with respect to gas prices in America – and claimed President Biden has been in denial concerning the impression of his own insurance policies on American residents.
GOV. TATE REEVES: President Biden doesn’t have a near-term resolution to any of America’s challenges. He’s made that completely clear.
The actuality is, gas prices are going up is a direct results of the insurance policies of the Biden administration. Gas prices had been low for the whole thing of the 4 years of the Trump administration.
He needs responsible the personal sector, he need to blame anyone but the insurance policies that he has pushed upon Americans during the last yr.
America was energy-independent beneath President Trump. This administration prefer it has in so many areas, has tried to vary the route of the nation, and hard-working Mississippians and hard-working Americans are those paying the invoice.

The Genron NPO ― a non-profit, nonpartisan think tank
independent from government and any interest
The Genron NPO is a not-for-profit think tank that conducts activities independent and impartially from any government interest or specific concern. In order to maintain such independence and impartiality, The Genron NPO became the first organization in Japan to develop a self-evaluation system regarding its "non-political and non-religious" position, based on standards set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States. The Genron NPO conducts an annual self-evaluation and releases the findings to the public. Furthermore, The Genron NPO's auditors evaluate the self-evaluation process and content, as well as the results.
In this manner, The Genron NPO makes its self-evaluation results and outside evaluation openly available to the general public. Making such information public indicates that The Genron NPO adopts a system in which the citizens ultimately decide whether its activities are in the public interest.
The Genron NPO's Self Evaluation
Our activities between April 2016 and March 2017 has passed all categories.
※ ① Certainty of purpose
② Certainty of position
③ Certainty of target
④ Certainty of methods for program establishment
⑤ Governance for decision-making and transparency

It's not just the vivid paint that will attract you to this 1947 Chevrolet Stylemaster. It's a full build with less than 4,400 miles on it that has a leather-lined A/C interior, overdrive transmission, and an award-worthy presentation of its strong V8.
The Tangelo Orange is a modern clearcoat application that has a huge radiance. And when you see the steel body with such super straight panels and even gaps, you know there was a lot that went into the bodywork before the first drop of orange went on top. So it's a quality package that really lets you appreciate every curve as the light rolls evenly across the entire body. Some of the brightwork like on the grille was eliminated for a more modern appearance. Plus, there are crystal clear headlights, frenched taillights, and a shaved trim on the hood and trunk. And the BG Rod Works 17-inch wheels have the huge shine that can't help but announce this is something extra special.
Open the door to a full custom interior. The front bucket seats have body-hugging contouring, and they're finished in a supple leather two-tone tan and cream. This color is used to set the pattern for the door panels, dash, custom rear shelf, headliner, and trunk. Even the carpet piping matched in this full uniform presentation. Thoughtful builds like this are also all about being comfortable drivers. That's why you have great upgrades like the custom armrest center console, cup holders, an AM/FM/CD stereo w/USB input, and cold blowing R134a air conditioning. A leather-wrapped steering wheel on a tilt column, upgraded pedals, a central Bosch tach, and upgraded AutoMeter gauges all let you know the driving experience is a true priority in this custom.
A fresh build means a fresh engine bay, too. Those ultra-smooth color-matched inner walls funnel your attention to the detailed and tidy motor in the middle. There are plenty of polished components – including the custom Walter Prosper air cleaner that takes center stage. And when you look beyond the style, you'll see the substance of a 350 cubic-inch V8 built with Edelbrock aluminum heads, an Edelbrock AVS2 four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock performer intake, and headers that feed into a glasspack-style dual exhaust. The beautiful motor is also a strong runner, and so they paired it to a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive. That way it's easy to enjoy near or far. In fact, you have great all-around driving features like a tubular A-arm front suspension, power steering, power brakes, front discs, and the grip of modern sport tires.
Low mileage full custom builds like this rarely leave their creator's hands, so this is a rare opportunity at something special. Call today!!!

I think your dog is suffering from Orchitis, Orchitis or inflammation of the dog testicles is the result of injuries (barbwire pricks, nails, incisive injuries, small wounds, etc.) in which microorganisms enter. It can also happen during the course of some specific diseases like influenza, distemper, mumps, etc. "Hydrocele" is a disorder in which serous fluid accumulates in the scrotum. "Testicular Torsion", however strange, can present itself suddenly. The dog experiments a sudden pain and refuses to make any movement. His march is rigid and abnormal, showing a lack of appetite and, sometimes, vomiting. When the afflictions affect only one testicle, the scrotum is swollen and with an excessive accumulation of fluid and in pain. On occasions, it is accompanied with lethargy, dysuria and abdominal pain. When orchitis is president along with epididymitis, as a consequence of traumas or hematogenic dissemination of infections from other points of the organism, the dog starts walking rigidly and gets a strong pain in the scrotum and testicles. The formation of tumors, be it in the testicles or scrotum, are relatively frequent, especially in dogs of old age although it also happens in middle-aged adult dogs.
The tumors that affect the testicles are usually malign, but the ones that affect the scrotum are generally fibrous or wart-like. The atrophy that affects testicles can be due to many causes: The final stage of an orchitis, general advanced avitaminosis (any of several diseases caused by deficiency of one or more vitamins), malnutrition, cachexia (any general reduction in vitality and strength of body and mind resulting from a debilitating chronic disease), etc. Any time you observe anything abnormal with the genitals of an animal, you must urgently go to the vet.
There are a number of reasons your dog's testicles could be swollen. Trauma or self-mutilation are possible. Testicular infections, cancer or torsion is possible. Brucellosis is an infection disease that can cause testicular abnormalities.
Have your dog examined by a veterinarian to determine the cause of the swelling and redness. The sooner a diagnosis is found the sooner treatment can begin. This condition sounds very painful and your veterinarian can help relieve your dog's discomfort.
I have a one year old pit and his testis are red and swollen also, thats because when the itch, thy use their teeth to to nible on them. Or it might be from bug bites...I'm goin to take him to the vet asap to be safe and you should too.
It may be something like a fluid build up, also known as Hydrocele. If it lasts more than 24 hours I would definately get him in to see the doctor!
I guess it might also be important to ask if you just recently got him and maybe aren't sure what they should look like? Has he been licking them excessively? Has he recently been to the groomer? Dragging his butt a lot? Only a vet can say what's wrong really and they probably need to see him. I'd give them a call at least (though they probably will need to see him as it is usually too difficult to come to a diagnosis without an examination). How old is your dog? Does it seem painful (not really a qualifier for treatment)? Swelling should always be examined as soon as possible. Have they actually changed in color and you've noticed they are more red (it can vary from dog to dog)? It could be an injury, an infection, tumor/cancer, prostate cancer or any number of things. Your dog may need to be neutered or he may just need some antibiotics and some special care :-). It may be nothing and normal. It can sometime indicate a problem elsewhere as well. I'd say if you are concerned I'd check. I'm a girl and the thought makes ME uncomfortable :-). I don't know if posting pics on here would be considered appropriate considering the subject. Please let us know what happens.
Don't know if this helps, as I a not really knowledgeable about canine disease, but my 5 year old boxer recently became lethargic and feverish. After a day of noticeable pain, he showed difficulty sitting and I noticed that his testicle was swollen to about three times its normal size. After a vet visit, the diagnoses were: 1) Scrotal dermatitis - if accompanied with peeling of the skin, as when sunburned, 2) epidymitis (sp?) - local infection of testes, 3) testicular torsion, 4) tumor - not usually presented with skin peeling. I was given a steroidal pain med and antibiotic, with the suggestion to neuter after swelling had decreased by half. Elevated temp. Seems to indicate infection, so although allergic reaction is possible, there are other problems with similar symptoms. Hope this helped, good luck.
My dogs is about 20 weeks old he is a jack russel cross with a border terrier and he is eating fine he is in no pain but is very sleep and likes to dose of every now and again we only noticed a big swollen patch on his right testicle it has changed colour to a dark purple/ black colour and I am very worried should I be?
His testicles are very red, swollen and hard. He is starting to urinate everywhere. He is very thirsty all the time. He is very quiet. He still has a very good appetite. I am worried.
If he's not neutered it could be testicular cancer. I would have him checked by the vet. I hope it all works out.
My dog is nearly 11 years old he has a very swollen scrotum and is not eating or drinking he is due to see the vet on monday any ideas is it cancer
Your dog needs to be examined by a veterinarian. There are several things that can cause a swollen scrotum. A mass on the testicle (may be benign or malignant), testicular torsion, testicular infection/abscess, testicular cyst, trauma, or allergic reaction (bug bite or dermal hypersensitivity) are all possible. Your veterinarian may want to do a fine needle aspirate or the testicle or an ultrasound depending upon examination findings. The treatment will most likely include neutering.
Well it is probably just bumps my dog has them to.
Hes probably licking them too much... Careful if some dogs really won't want them they can self-mutilate, and you don't want that...
Take him to the vet. Don't try to treat that at home.

Not only has digitalization impacted everyday conveniences, it has also changed our culture. For instance, it wasn’t that long ago that video games were exclusively the domain of the male and the mate-less. Now, this sad narrative has been flipped onto its head, with video games becoming integrated into mainstream culture. Further, virtual reality specialists like Virtuix offer the potential to take the sector even higher.
If Virtuix stock ever becomes available through equity crowdfunding channels, you’ll want to seriously consider it.
For starters, virtual reality is a big business within a globally burgeoning market. According to data curated by Statista, VR revenues should top $9.3 billion by the end of 2025 in the U.S. market. In addition, with companies like Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) and Sony (NYSE:SNE) investing millions into developing VR headsets, the entire market benefits thanks to global evangelism and accelerated mainstream integration.

Schaumburg, IL (June 4, 2018) – Schaumburg Regional Airport has received the 2018 Airport of the Year award from the Illinois Department of Transportation.
The airport was selected because of its accomplishments throughout the year, including an outstanding partnership with IDOT and a strong commitment to customer safety and satisfaction. Among the award considerations are cooperation and coordination with the state, facility safety record, promotion of seminars and aviation events, and maintenance of the facility.
“The village has owned Schaumburg Regional Airport since 1994 and over the years this airport has been molded into a professional and first-class airport operation, generating a total economic impact of more than $18.9 million to the region,” said Schaumburg Village President Al Larson. “We’re honored to receive this award designating Schaumburg Regional Airport as one of the best aviation operations in the state.”
Schaumburg Regional Airport is a public-use general aviation airport comprised of a single runway, full parallel taxiway and parking, all of which encompasses 117 acres in both Cook County and DuPage County. Located at 905 W. Irving Park Road, the airport is home to approximately 90 aircraft and handles about 35,000 operations per year.
The airport is also home to numerous businesses—including Pilot Pete’s restaurant, Chicagoland’s only aviation-themed eatery—aircraft charters, flight training, airplane and helicopter rides, and aircraft maintenance. The airport is also frequently used by many of Chicagoland news network helicopters.
“The village is pleased to receive this distinction, which recognizes the dedication and work that has contributed to making Schaumburg Regional Airport an exceptional airport in Illinois,” said Schaumburg Director of Transportation Karyn Robles. “The village thanks the Illinois Department of Transportation for its support and we will continue to provide the very best in services as part of the Illinois aviation system.”
Schaumburg Village Manager Brian Townsend also added, “This award recognizes the hard work of a number of individuals who dedicate themselves to providing a quality facility and experience to members of the aviation community. Karyn Robles, Director of Transportation, and Erik Trydal, Airport Manager, are to be commended for their efforts in making Schaumburg Regional Airport one of the best airports in the state.”

Gary Bunker won the Aiken County Council chairman's post outright Tuesday with 55 percent of the vote.
Bunker's margin kept him out of a runoff with District 7 County CouncilÂman Andrew Siders or District 4 Councilman Chuck Smith.
Bunker got 3,605 votes, 55 percent; Siders got 2,154 votes, 33 percent; and Smith got 759 votes, 12 percent.
Bunker's win also means there will not have to be another special election to fill a vacant council term, which would have been the case if Siders or Smith had won. Their council terms run through 2020.
A general election is still scheduled, but no candidate from another party filed to seek the seat and, so far, no write-in or petition opponents have emerged. Siders has been serving as interim chairman and will continue to do so until after the general election, when Bunker takes office.
Bunker said he would start by "getting a grasp on all the numbers we've been talking about - the debt, forecast and revenue - and start forumulating plans for next years' budget now."
Bunker is a former councilman who served two terms, from 2005 through 2012, and works at Savannah River Site in project controls and business management. He was elected vice chairman three times and was chairman of the Administrative Committee for four years.
The council chairman's seat became vacant when Ronnie Young won the election to fill the District 84 state House seat vacated by Chris Corley, who resigned in January after being charged with domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature.
Corley pleaded guilty to a reduced charge and was sentenced to six years in prison, suspended to five years probation.

The Canadian Black Chamber of Commerce and Facebook Canada Just Launched a $500,000 Grant Program
The Canadian Black Chamber of Commerce (CBCC) and Facebook Canada have come together to launch a new grant program designed to assist Black-owned businesses that were heavily impacted by COVID-19.
Facebook Canada is contributing $500,000 to the CBCC to support the national grant program, which is available via online application for all Black Canadian entrepreneurs.
“COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted Black Canadian business owners, and shed light on the systemic barriers they face when starting, growing and scaling their businesses,” said Garrick Tiplady, Managing Director of Facebook Canada. “We’ve heard loud and clear from entrepreneurs that financial support goes a long way and we’re grateful to the Canadian Black Chamber of Commerce for the opportunity to support Black business owners who are the heart of our local communities and integral to Canada’s economy.”
Tiplady joined Andria Barret, President of CBCC, to announce the initiative via a virtual fireside chat on Oct. 29, 2020. Barrett was excited to launch the initiative, saying, “We are thrilled to partner with Facebook Canada to support Black Canadian Entrepreneurs and their social media presence during this unprecedented time. With these grants, we can strengthen Black Entrepreneur’s online reach and capacity.”
The CBCC is a national non-profit organization that aims to promote the excellence of Black-owned businesses. The joint initiative with Facebook Canada was announced to cap off Black Business Week in Canada, which runs from Oct. 26, 2020 to Oct. 30, 2020. Currently, there’s no deadline to apply for the grant.
