–A former teacher at West Hancock Schools has been arrested and charged with having an inappropriate relationship with a minor student.
According to the Britt Police Department, Officers were notified in June of 2022 about a possible inappropriate relationship between former West Hancock School teacher Steve M. Heston and a minor student. The department initiated an investigation at that time, which eventually led to warrants for Heston’s arrest.
Earlier today, Heston was taken into custody and booked into the Winnebago County Jail on charges of Sexual Exploitation by a School Employee and Enticing a Minor, both Class D Felonies. Heston is awaiting an initial court appearance.
The Britt Police Department received assistance on this case from the Hancock County Attorney’s Office, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, the Kanawha Police Department, the Iowa Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the FBI Child Exploitation Task Force.


Experimental database, analysis and design of noncompact and slender concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) members
Concrete-filled steel tube beam-columns are categorized as compact, noncompact or slender depending on the governing tube slenderness ratio. AISC 360-10 specifies the provisions for designing noncompact and slender rectangular and circular CFT members under axial compression, flexure, and combined axial and flexural loading. This research presents the development and evaluation of these design provisions. Available experimental databases of CFT members are reviewed, and a new experimental database of tests conducted on noncompact and slender CFT members is compiled. Detailed 3D finite element method (FEM) models are developed for noncompact and slender CFT members, and benchmarked using experimental results. The AISC 360-10 design provisions for noncompact and slender CFT members are then evaluated by both the experimental test results and additional FEM analysis that address the gaps in the experimental database. The current AISC 360-10 P-M interaction equations are updated using the results from comprehensive parametric studies (conducted using the benchmarked FEM model). Effective stress-strain curves for the steel tube and concrete infill are also developed. The validation of these effective stress-strain curves are confirmed by implementing them in a benchmarked nonlinear fiber analysis based macro model.

Turkey Zucchini Burger
Not only are these burgers and great way to use summer garden surplus, but they are healthy as well. They are also easily adapted to Paleo or grain free lifestyles by breaking them up onto a romaine spear instead of in a bun. My husband couldn’t believe it the first time I got him to willingly eat something with zucchini! Not only did he like it, but the whole family loved these! As an added bonus, since the patties do best with a bit of chill time, you can make them up to a day ahead and just have them ready for a quick meal!
Start out with ground turkey, shredded zucchini, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, jalapeno, cumin, and cilantro. Form it into 4 equal balls.
Then put them on a cookie sheet (lined for easy clean up) and smash them into patties.
Refrigerate them for at least an hour so they stay together well.
Meanwhile, combine sour cream, jalapeno, lime juice, garlic salt and pepper to make a great cilantro crema for the burger condiment.
Grill the burgers and pile on a bun with crema and toppings!
|Prep Time||15 minutes|
|Cook Time||15 minutes|
|Passive Time||1 hour to chill|
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 medium to large zucchini shredded or large grated
- 1/2 medium onion grated
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced fine or grated
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/2 jalapeno pepper minced fine (optional)
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 4 whole wheat burgerbuns
- desired toppings (lettuce, tomato, red onion, etc.)
- 1/2 cup sour cream can substitute plain Greek yogurt if desired
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 2-3 teaspoons jalapeno pepper finely chopped (adjust to taste)
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- salt and pepper to taste
Cilantro Creme Ingredients
- Combine everything for the burger patties in a bowl. Make sure they are well combined but don't overcook the meat or it will become tough.
- Form mixture into 4 equal balls.
- Line a cookie sheet with a silicone mat or wax paper. Flatten each meatball into a patty on the tray. Make them even thickness and as big around as your buns. Refrigerate the patties for at least an hour.
- Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the cilantro crema in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Grease a grill or grill pan and cook the patties. They take 6-10 minutes depending on the heat of your grill/grill pan. Flip them once half way through. They are finished when they are browning and have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Grill the buns if preferred (I prefer), and dress the burgers with the cilantro crema and desired toppings.

13 REASONS WHY... OR WHY NOT: A THERAPIST'S PERSPECTIVE
The craze and controversy surrounding Netflix's new original series 13-Reasons Why has been trending on social media, with teens, concerned parents, and professionals. After hearing so much about this show and it's portrayal of suicide due to bullying in high school- I had to watch it.
There were a few reasons why this show sparked my interest.
1. As a clinician that works with children and teenagers, it was important to me to understand how this show portrayed bullying, mental health, and suicide. (Many of the clients that my agency works with were bringing it up in session).
2. I wanted to see Hollywood's "spin" on these issues because of the power that media has over us and these types of issues.
3. This is hard to admit... But, I want to be authentic with readers and because I think that it is important to speak up about this: I myself was bullied in high school. A part of me that still feels wounded from that time in my life was... Curious. Curious to see if a TV show could truly capture the pain and trauma that bullying can cause.
I have seen many blogs, articles, and reviews written about this show- but I wanted to write this before reading any other articles or professional perspectives. I did, however, ask a few of my friends and colleagues about their personal reactions to the show as a way to understand the emotional impact that it had on others.
It was important to me to share my genuine reaction and it has taken me a few day to really reflect on, understand and process my feelings after finishing Season 1.
I wanted this post to be a balanced reflection of the positive and the negative aspects of this show. From what I have heard people are very split either for or against it. Personally, I felt pulled in both directions.
Bullying is an epidemic and it's about time we as a culture acknowledge it. 13-Reasons Why brought that to our attention in a way that can not be ignored. For that reason, I do not want to label this show as " all bad."
What struck me most about this show was the impact that it had not only on me but on everyone who watched it. I work at an agency that provides mental health services to teens in the Los Angeles Area and almost ALL of my clients watched the show... Finishing all of the Season in less than a week.
To me that says something. Whether it is good or bad we will get into that later... There is no denying that this particular show, hit all of us so hard because it acknowledged something that we as a culture try to avoid and it did it in a way that close to home for many of us.
It portrayed how cruel humans can be to each other, especially at such a vulnerable time in life like adolescence. It captured the reality and consequences of bullying in a way that is "in your face", ugly and traumatic to watch.
It showed the truth of how parents, students, teachers and society minimize these issues, or even worse, are BLIND to them. It's not easy to watch these things- it feels bad to think we "humans" can be so awful to each other.
BUT.. This stuff happens. This is the reality of millions of kids. This was my reality in high school and this is a truth that should no longer be ignored.
However, as a mental health professional and someone who experienced bullying myself in high school, the way that the suicide of Hannah Baker (the main character) was portrayed left me feeling angry and fearful for children and teens who are watching this show.
Here are some reasons that I find it concerning:
The Aspect Of Revenge: The whole show is based on tapes that Hannah made for each person who bullied her, looked the other way or minimized the severity of what was going on. After her suicide, each person who bullied her received all of the tapes, one-by-one hearing Hannah's perspective and what they did that lead her to kill herself. As the characters coped with the reality of their actions- some felt remorseful, guilty and haunted by their actions, a few turned to substance abuse to cope while others just worried about what would happen to themselves and their future if anyone found the tapes.
What worries me about this is that it glorifies "getting revenge" on bullies and makes it seem like if you kill yourself, you can get revenge on the people who hurt you, leaving them tournament and regretful of their actions.
It is concerning to think of how children or teens may interpret this aspect of the show, especially if they are being bullied.
Showing Hannah's Suicide: "Cutting" has become a common trend in middle schools and high schools all around the nation and can have potentially fatal consequences even if the intention was not necessarily suicide.
In the show, Hannah commits suicide (by slitting her wrists and bleeding to death in a bathtub) was so realistically portrayed that I felt my own body go into a state of shock, which left me weak in the knees for probably 20-30 minutes. This scene was traumatic for me and I am a trained professional.
In fact, I couldn't stop thinking about it for at least 48-hours! Granted, I am an empath and sensitive to anything that shows blood or death, however, that that scene was not necessary to get the message of the show across and was carelessly placed there solely for "shock value."
This can be extremely triggering not only for people who may be suicidal but also for family, friends or anyone who have lost someone to suicide.
Lack Of Suicide Prevention Resources: Each episode should have suicide hotline contact information or resources at the beginning or end. It is unacceptable that theses resources were left out by the producers.
Despite all of these major issues, I still believe that 13-Reasons Why is one of the most important shows on TV right now. It has catapulted teens, parents, school districts and mental health professionals to have important conversations about bullying and suicide.
These conversations often happen when it is too late and something tragic has happened. To me... That is not good enough. We need to be talking about it now, dealing with the painful reality and raising children that are taught to be empathetic towards others from the day they enter the school system.
Mental health, empathy, education about feelings and coping skills should be incorporated into the curriculum of schools. These things are JUST as, if not MORE important than academic, critical thinking and test taking.
This is how we create a cohort of healthier, emotionally attune and compassionate children who will make this world a better place.
We have to start placing our value in the things that actually matter and we have to start now.


Riding in cold, wet, and miserable conditions and getting cold feet?
That’s definitely not my definition of having fun while riding. While riding in these conditions are never fun, the least you can do it to make it more bearable.
I’m talking about shoe covers.
The question is, which type suits your needs and riding conditions?
Shoe covers or overshoes?
They come in all types of sizes, coverage areas, and made from different materials that serve a specific purpose.
On this page, I’ll discuss them in more detail and share with you some of the most popular shoe covers among cyclists.
A Quick Glance : Our Favorite Cycling Shoe Covers
For the Budget Minded
The Velotoze is lightweight and affordable because it is made from rubber.
The material is so elastic to the point where it acts as a second skin to your cycling shoes. Velotoze shoe covers are also windproof and this keeps your feet warm when you are riding at low degrees. Take note that even though the Velotoze is good in bad weather, they are not very breathable.
These are snug around the ankle area and have two holes. One is the cleat hole, and the other is around the heel to help you fit these shoes perfectly.
- Pros : Cheap and affordable
- Cons : Hard to put on and not durable.
For Autumn & Spring
The Defeet Strada is basically a pair of durable, oversized cycling socks. While it is not as well-known at the Slipstream, this is our preferred choice.
They will keep your feet warm throughout the chilly mornings in autumn and spring. It is highly breathable because it is made from 92% nylon and 8% lycra.
Unlike the Defeet Slipstream, these are 2″ taller, more durable, and has a cleat opening pre-cut for you from the factory, making life easier.
- Pros : Made from very durable fabrics.
- Cons : Fabrics tend to get loose and stretched overtime.
Fizik is a brand that has been around since 1966, their products today are of high-quality. This pair of winter shoe covers are made from waterproof and windproof materials to keep your feet temperature high.
The bottom part is made of neoprene, while the upper part is made of a more stretchable material. To give you a perfect fit, it has a velcro strap, which you can use to adjust the tightness.
- Pros : Fully waterproof.
- Cons : Expensive.
For Maximum Visibility
Giro is a U.S. company specializing in cycling accessories and clothing.
The Giro Knit comes in 2 colors; black and lime green. For increased visibility, Giro has included a reflective cuff near the top.
Cordura, a piece of highly durable and tear-resistant fabric is used in manufacturing. It is lightweight and yet provides plenty of insulation for those chilly morning rides.
- Pros : Reflective cuff provides added visibility in the dark.
- Cons : Not waterproof nor water-resistant.
Best Toe Cover
Sportful Pro Race
If you don’t like wearing full shoe covers, try toe covers. They are very easy to put on and you will be ready to go before you realized it.
These toe covers from Sportful will keep your feet warm as it is made from a lightweight, 4mm neoprene that acts as an insulator. These toe covers have 4 mm neoprene material that is windproof and waterproof to keep your shoes dry.
- Pros : Very easy to put on.
- Cons : Limited coverage to only the front half of the shoe.
For Aerodynamics & Speed
If you like shoe covers that provide aerodynamics advantages, this would be a perfect fit for you.
To start, it has a smooth surface, which makes it more aerodynamic. The material used is waterproof and very stretchable to make it fit perfectly.
To boost the waterproof feature, this shoe cover has sealed seams. Graphics that are drawn on the surface are reflective, increasing your visibility at night.
- Pros : Sleek and modern-looking design while maintaining full functionality.
- Cons : Expensive.
The Castelli RoS is the best shoe cover from the Italian brand Castelli.
RoS is the acronym for Rain or Shine, which means that this shoe cover can be used in all weather conditions. It is fully windproof and waterproof and slightly more breathable than those neoprene shoe covers such as those from Fizik.
And if you are a weight weenie, you will be glad to know that this pair weighs in at only 120g.
- Pros : Lightweight and fully waterproof.
- Cons : Zippers can be very tight for those with large calves.
Shoe Covers Buying Guide
1. Coverage Area
Generally, there are 3 types of shoe covers. They can be categorized based on the coverage they provide for your feet.
- Toe Covers. They are designed to protect your toes in chilly and cold weather conditions. Most toe covers, such as the Sportful Pro Race, are made from neoprene, which is waterproof. Toe covers are easy to wear and remove.
- Full Coverage. They cover your feet completely up to a height that’s just below your calf muscles. They can keep your feet warm and dry because there is no extra space left out that will make your feet vulnerable. Some examples include Velotoze Tall and Castelli RoS.
- Ankle. Similar to full coverage shoe covers, but the only difference is ankle shoe covers protect your feet up to the ankles only (not your socks).
2. Materials Used
Let’s take a look at the common materials used to make shoe covers.
Apart from possessing windproof and waterproof qualities, this material is also a good insulator, making it a perfect match for cold and chilly seasons. Even if it gets damp, it will still retain the warmth that was there initially on your feet.
Insulation in neoprene shoe covers is also boosted by a fleece. However, neoprene shoe covers are not as breathable as knit shoe covers, so they might get damp on the inside when your feet perspire.
Knit shoe covers are also light. The main setback is the non-waterproof feature they possess.
Rubber is one of the lightest materials used in making shoe covers, such as the Velotoze.
It is also waterproof, this makes it a good fit for shoe covers that are used in wet and cold seasons. Although rubber possesses such amazing features, it is not as durable as neoprene.
You may notice some tear and wear after using it for a while. Rubber shoe covers are also not breathable, you cannot wear them during warm temperatures.
Finding the right size of shoe covers is an important aspect.
An oversized shoe cover can leave an opening at the topmost part, and water might get into your cycling shoes through that. On the other hand, shoe covers that are so tight might be uncomfortable for you.
When Should You Use Shoe Covers
1. Riding in The Rain
Most shoe covers that are designed to be used in wet conditions are often made from neoprene because it’s a waterproof material.
In some cases, the neoprene is boosted with an additional waterproof layer. If you are riding in rainy conditions, your shoe covers should be tight but not too tight to make you feel uncomfortable.
A tight grip at the top of the shoe cover prevents raindrops from getting in your shoes.
2. Riding in Cold and Chilly Conditions
Shoe covers designed for cold and chilly conditions have a layer of textured fleece in the interior part, which acts as an insulator. It traps a layer of air that keeps your feet warm.
3. Racing in Time Trials
Racing shoe covers are always lightweight. This makes sure that your performance is on-point because your feet are not strained by excess weight.
Aerodynamics shoe covers are also tight. However, these shoes are so vulnerable due to the light materials used to manufacture them.
If you want a pair of shoe covers that provide maximum aerodynamics advantage, take a look at the Castelli Slicker Slip-on.

- Well here’s some news we’ve been waiting for along time. Gary Goth announced that they will begin reprinting the classic EC comics. The first four, history laden, books will start to be released in 2012 and unlike the Gemstone Archives they will be black and white and more creator focused:
- Corpse On The Imjin And Other Stories. This will reprint all of the Harvey Kurtzman written-and-drawn war stories from Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat, as well as Kurtzman-written war work for EC “non-regulars” such as Gene Colan, Joe Kubert and Russ Heath.
- Came The Dawn and Other Stories. This is a Wally Wood collection, but of his tightly-wound suspense stories rather than perhaps more traditionally lauded work.
- Untitled Book Featuring Jack Davis’ Horror Stories. Another great artist and another perhaps unappreciated source of comics stories for that artist, this time all written by the great Al Feldstein.
- Untitled Book Featuring Al Williamson’s Science Fiction Stories. This is exactly as it sounds, and promises 174 pages of material from Weird Fantasy and Weird Science.
I admit that I’m a little disappointed that the color Gemstone books won’t be finished, but I’m confident that Fantagraphics will to a wonderful job and I’ll be sure to collect them. – Thanks to Tom, Comics Reporter; Complete details can be found on the Fantagraphics Blog
- I never saw this one coming: The Complete Zap Comix Two-Volume Slipcased Hardcover will collect all 16 issues and the small one-shot Zam, approximately 800 pages. It is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2012 – Thanks to CBR’s Robot 6 who has the exclusive details and an interview with Gary Goth; Complete details can be found on the Fantagraphics Blog
- Also announced by Groth and Fantagraphics is a 400-page collection of Bill Griffith’s work and a reprint of all of Jack Jackson’s work. The first volume will combine Los Tejanos with Lost Cause. That is scheduled for spring of next year. Lastly there will be a complete collection of Diane Noomin’s work.
- You may have heard that The Strain from Guielmo del Toro with a script by David Lapham and art by Mike Huddleston will be three 8-issue chapters; all three will be collected as trades at a future date.
- Howard Chaykin has announced a 6-issue prequel to Black Kiss, the 12-issue series originally published by Vortex Coimcs (1988). Look for a reissue of the original in 2012.
- Editor-in-Chief Stephen Christy announced the upcoming Immortals: Gods and Heroes hardcover anthology. The title is a companion piece to the upcoming film Immortals film and wil be released in September. – Thanks to CBR
- Coming in 2012 will be a reprint of the rarely seen Agent 13: The Midnight Avenger (1988), by Flint Dille, David Marconi, and Dan Spiegle, (based on the first two, of three novels, The Invisible Empire and The Serpentine Assassin). No word on if the second graphic novel, Agent 13: Acolytes of Darkness will be published, but if sales are good on the first one I bet it will be. – Thanks to Chris, Hermes Press Blog
- Frank Miller’s Holy Terror isn’t the only project from Legendary Comics, Editor-in-Chief, Bob Schreck announced two more: a career retrospective on Paul Pope with an art book, PulpHope. It will feature more than 200 pages and include many never before seen pieces. It should be out 4Q 2011.

A lot of Clay county residents may know of the issue a few concerned residents in Clay have with the Board of Education over the schools – providing snacks for all elementary students in the four elementary schools in Clay County: Clay, Lizemores, H.E. White and Big Otter. The cost to provide a snack for each student would be 90 cents per snack per day which would equal out to be around $120,000 per year as an added cost on the budget for Clay County Schools.
Unfortunately, without making cuts in other important areas of the budget, that $120,000 is not available to be able to provide those snacks. On a positive side of this situation, Clay County Schools does provide free breakfasts and lunches to each student of Clay County every day of the school year, and when after-school starts, supper will be provided to those students who stay after. After-school will be four days a week, Monday through Thursday.
Also, a positive, the Board of Education has provided information to all of the concerned parents of students in Clay County that Clay County is experiencing the highest participation rates for breakfasts and lunches than before. Clay County is in the top 5. The law is very clear and specific that unhealthy snacks cannot be given to students. The schools cannot legally accept food donations to provide snacks, either. There are laws in place to protect all the children and they have to be followed. One big concern in not being able to accept food donations is all of the food allergies that are a threat, from nuts, to wheat, to dairy and the many more that can cause health problems, these have to be considered to protect the children. However, you, as a parent, CAN donate money to the school and the cooks can order snacks for the children so they can be provided snacks. If you don’t want to donate money, you can host a fundraiser to raise the money, give it to the school and the cooks can purchase the appropriate healthy snacks to be provided to the children.
There are reasons laws and rules are put in place and it is to protect the children of Clay County, from the youngest to the oldest. There are legal ways to fix this situation, set your thoughts and opinions aside and work together with the officials of the county to safely provide these things for our children!

Fans swoon at the romance between Snow White/Mary Margaret played by Ginnifer Goodwin and Prince Charming/David portrayed by Josh Dallas on ABC’s whimsical hit ‘Once Upon A Time’ chronicling the events that occur after the characters from classic fairy tales cross over into the real world. Well, real as far it exists on TV. But what happens when the romance from this fantasy series crosses over into the real real world? True love it seems, or should I say a Happily Ever After.
There’s a reason their chemistry is so strong onscreen… on Saturday April 12th, Goodwin and Dallas were married! This comes following their engagement last October, at which time they announced “We are so thrilled to announce our engagement and can’t wait to celebrate with our friends and family, including our second family at ‘Once Upon a Time’.” During a sunset ceremony, Goodwin wore a custom-designed gown by Monique Lhuillier and walked down the aisle as 30 close friends and family watched.
But the celebration doesn’t stop here. The couple, who met on the set of the show in 2011 (and according to sources had an “immediate connection”), are expecting their first child! Following their engagement, the soon-to-be-parents announced in November that Goodwin was indeed pregnant. (If it’s a girl, will they name her Emma?)
Rebecca Mader, who plays the Wicked Witch expressed, “She’s such a cool cat. She’s just really comfortable and really happy being pregnant, it’s lovely to be around. [She] and Josh are really, really excited to be parents.”
Dallas concurred stating, “We just can’t wait to meet it.” Speaking of meetings, he also described his first encounter with Goodwin by saying “It hit me like a blinding light. I thought, ‘I’m in trouble now!'”
Goodwin has some pretty physical sequences, especially as a swashbuckling forest-dweller in the fairy tale segments, so how will ‘Once Upon A Time’ handle her ever-growing baby bump? Word has it that this will actually be written into the show! Sounds like Emma (Jennifer Morrison) might be getting a baby brother or sister!
Congrats to the happy couple and may you truly have a “Happily Ever After!” (Maybe that could be a spin-off show!)

Brian Head Resort and a developer jointly announced a project called Aspen Meadows yesterday, to include up to seven chairlifts and a two stage gondola linking to Brian Head Mountain. Construction has already begun on roads and utilities and Aspen Meadows Group is working with SE Group on ski terrain design. The concept includes more than 850 acres of new ski terrain to the north of existing trails on Brian Head Peak.
Aspen Meadows would include a third base area for the ski area with a village center, additional parking and skier services. Preliminary maps show mostly beginner and intermediate trails above the village with lifts up to 4,000 feet long and vertical rises ranging between 300 and 1,100 feet. The gondola would include a transport segment from the existing Navajo base lodge and a ski section within Aspen Meadows.
“Aspen Meadows is truly a special collection of alpine lands, with the perfect slope aspects for ski terrain never before seen by most visitors to this region of southern Utah,” said A. Flint Decker, president of the Aspen Meadows Group. “We’re proud to be a part of this new chapter in our community’s history as we share new ski terrain and resort amenities with the town of Brian Head and the guests of Brian Head Resort.”
No timeline has been set for the first lifts to go in.

East end of Water St.
The Old Village, encompassing the land between Chatham Harbor on the east and Mill/Little Mill Pond on the west, became the town center in the early 1800's probably due to the Old Harbor area becoming less navigable. A concentration of small stores on Water and Main Streets reinforced the position of the Old Village as Chatham's primary commercial center until the late 19th century.
Water Street, aptly named, is probably the only street in Chatham to run from one body of water to another, i.e. from the Atlantic shoreline to Mill Pond. Many of the homes that still remain along the portion of Water Street from Main Street to the Mill Pond were built by Sea Captains or former Sea Captains and their names are recognizable in Chatham history; however, the history of the street running from Main Street to the Shore line is less well known.
Early in the nineteenth century the freight business arrived by packets and vessels and was of great importance to Chatham. Barzilla Harding and Heman Smith ran one of the businesses prior to 1829. The sloop Canton, of fourty-six tons, was built in 1826 on the east shore, north of the lights, and ran thirty years as a packet to Boston. The Canton, captained by Barzilla Harding, was also owned by Collins Howes, Reuben Howes, and Enoch Howes. All of these men were residents of the Old Village.
The 1858 map of Chatham Village shows two extensions into the Harbor area indicating the site of two docks at the end of the street. Documents in the Historical Society archives indicate that packet ships used the docks to allow cargo to be brought ashore along with passengers.
Another source indicates that Captain Josiah Hardy owned a store and a stage (wharf) at the end of Water Street “from which schooners were outfitted to sail to every port in the world.” In 1864, Andrew Harding, then 28 years old and the youngest of the fourteen children of Barzilla and Pattie (Bangs) Harding, and a grandson of Isaiah Harding, opened a store there. In 1865, he purchased a second store formerly owned by Isaiah and Simeon Harding and combined the two businesses. In 1871, in connection with his stock of paints and oils, he added a painting business that he ran with H. M. Smith. Later that store was moved to Main St. where it is now a residence. By 1872, the shore had eroded to the point where the stores and the wharves had to be torn down.
The area where this plaque now stands still remains on the town maps as a Town Landing, but due to the cycle of constant erosions, it has not always been accessible to the water.


COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test Cassette x 25 (£10 per test)
Test cassette identifies COVID-19 present in a swab sample and gives a qualitative yes/no result within 15 minutes.
Easy to use, the test uses a swab sample from either the nose or throat (nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal sample) and is introduced into the test cassette by suspension in a buffer solution. The result is easily read on the cassette in a similar way to a pregnancy test.
The test is perfect for screening quickly at the patient side for the presence of COVID-19 and can be used as a companion to the antibody test to increase the window of detection.
The implementation of a rapid antigen test can offer time and cost-saving benefits when compared to laboratory screening. Regular testing can help to control the spread of the virus by identifying active infection rapidly and accurately.

With a price tag of £69.99/$79.99 and a piece count of 807 it means you’re paying roughly 8-9p/9-10cents per piece, which isn’t too bad when you look at it that way. This set is also quite unique in that it contains the spoilerific Giant Man brick built figure. Also in the set is the airport control tower, a baggage car and a smaller version of the Quinjet.
Bag 4 finishes the fuselage and all that is left are the engines and tail section. You'll notice that this aircraft has a bathroom on board as well as some storage for a non-existent flight attendant. I think this is the first time that LEGO has put some additional details into aircraft besides just seats. Also there is only one pilot for a 2 seat cockpit in the set.
Even in terms of play value it mostly seems to be a trade-off — 60104 loses the vending machine, cafe, baggage x-ray scanner, and a few seats on the plane but gains a baggage conveyor, a restroom, a refueling tank for the plane, an additional minifigure, and more seats in the waiting area. It's pretty nice to see the value of a LEGO air terminal remain fairly stable even though the price has not increased.
Basically, the only thing that the two sets have in common is that they both have planes. However there is quite a bit of difference on the inside of the planes. There are a lot more details in the Friends plane. In addition to the seats, there is a rolling service cart complete with refreshments, emergency lighting as well as a larger galley and lav in the back of the plane.
Agent 13 has a pretty plain appearance, with caramel-coloured wavy hair, and a black, spy-like top. Her torso has some nice details, with sharp, angular lines that all combine to form a rough outline of an upside down star. She has plain sand blue pants and rocks a sub-machine gun accessory. I like regular LEGO firearms, so it’s very nice to get one in this set as they’re fairly uncommon.

The accumulation of politics, policies and suburban flight has concentrated poverty and segregated races in measures unlike any other U.S. city. For example, Chicago has black communities with such high poverty, concentrated segregation and disadvantages that no white communities in Chicago can be used for comparison. My patient makes decisions for her health and health care through the lens of this poverty and segregation. How can we replace entire hips and knees, but not make sure individuals have access to the basic medications that prevent heart failure exacerbation? How can we create complex health systems but not meet simple needs?
How have we managed to develop some of the most complex healthcare treatments around, yet failed to provide the most basic healthcare services to our country’s most vulnerable? Thomas Fisher, M.D., M.P.H explores how inequality and segregation come to bear on Chicagoans’ health.

The intrinsic correlation of life style and living patterns govern the habitable physical environment. The human activities follow patterns, which become format for physical environment. Activities defining relationships between individuals and groups display patterns of associations. This characterizes the settlement patterns giving form to settlements at varying scales in a given society. Thus the culture of a society and the settlement patterns are complementarities, which provide richness in a particular civilization. History of settlement patterns can be summed up on these lines and it is effective of these two aspects. The incongruity in either can affect the social well being of the community concerned and its environment within the settlement. If there is a mismatch between the patterns of associations and its built environment the conflicts develop and there is resultant strife in quality of life of the society. For this reason it is evident that the well being of any society is primarily dependent on the habitable environment and is directly proportional to it. “The city is a related collection of primary groups and purposive associations: the first, like family and neighbourhood, are common to all communities, while the second are especially characteristic of city life. These varied groups support themselves through economic organizations that are likewise of more or less of corporate, or at least publicly regulated character; and they are all housed in permanent structures, within a limited area. The essential physical means of a city’s existence are a fixed site, the durable shelter the permanent facilities for assembly, interchange, and storage; the essential social means are the social division of labour, which serves not merely the economic life but cultural processes.”1
The current events in Ahmadabad leading to extended strife compels us to review this interdependency between the patterns of Association and built environment to investigate the mismatch that has grown with the increasing congestion and the unplanned growth of the traditional town into a metropolis of today. History of evolving Ahmadabad has passed through several stages of its growth, starting from a traditional merchant town on the trade route - to a sultanate capital - to a wealthy industrial town - to a trade and commercial city - to a state capital in the region - to the present overgrown congested urban ‘Mega City’. At each of its stages of growth it has added extra population claiming additional living environment around commercial activities, which has grown like unrelated accretion, which forces itself as a part of the ‘city’. City demands associations in a structured relationship, which induces civility. These accretions have no bearing on the existing framework of the city in the manner of its emergence and hence psychologically or pattern-wise it has no association with the existing city dismissing any scope for developing ‘civility’ in its inhabitants. These chunks of population, in fact grows terrible hatred for the city, as they constantly live in an environment that highlights the striking difference between that which ‘belongs’ to the city and they who ‘don’t belong’ to the city in spite of being there as a berated entity. Perhaps at the outset this is the prime reason for the destruction in city, which in their minds is only a burden of misery and contradiction of living, and for that reason a target for destruction when frustration overrides all other senses.
In Ahmadabad the historic walled was the “seat of imperial power”2 The city had dominant population of Hindus and Muslims who enjoyed different status. The Muslims being closer to the Ruling Power enjoyed a status of imperial connection while Hindus, mainly merchant class held the control of tread and commerce and wealth, which indirectly enriched the Imperial Power. For this reason the rulers always managed a balance in co-existence maintaining the identity of both which was strongly manifest in Ahmadabad’s ‘pol’ settlements. This ‘pol’ had an insular environment reflecting the sense of security in co-existence and also a strong character of community identity. It is very interesting to infer though that the historic city until the 20th century was a walled city, which was ecologically, and architecturally a collective form with its inherent diversity. Even in those days the quarrels and strife were not unknown but it was always limited, basically a human aberration solved with mutual sense of well being to all as merchants used to have their own security staff, which controlled such quarrels in no time and sense of justice established by intervention of community guilds, in mutual interest. “Ahmadabad (along with Hyderabad, Lucknow and Delhi) is fortunate in having a historic core, a four centuries old core which should allow reflection on past and a perspective on the future. It is pity that not only has the value of this historic core been dimmed through negligence, but also the core itself has been allowed to become a menace. Economic stagnation, urban decay and constant threat of communal conflicts in the walled city have created a hydra-headed monster which poised to strike metropolis as a whole.”3 She further recommends restoration of the old city for which “there should be no lack of support, financial and professional, from either the centre or from international agencies. The plans cannot merely be town-planning job. They must be people centred economic and social plans which at the same time ensure the conservation of the built environment, which is a heritage” 4.
“In the transformation of environment, architecture has a peculiar part to play. This arises not merely because building constitute such a large part of man’s daily surroundings; but because architecture reflects and focuses such vide variety of social facts: the character and resources of natural environment, the state of the industrial arts and empirical tradition and experimental knowledge that go into their application, the process of social organization and association, and the beliefs and world-outlooks of the whole society. In an age of social disintegration and unrelated specialism, architecture looses most of its essential character.”5
There have been a constant history of strife in Ahmadabad between the communities and these are ready to ignite for any little provocation out of a trivial incidence or engineered, but so far it always began from the old city areas, which are virtually labelled as the flash zones. But thus far the new Ahmadabad areas were never affected, this time the rioting began on eastern part of the city and that brings us back to the earlier point, which I have made about the conditions of settlements. “The modern urban cores in India have not evolved out of the ancient city centres, but have emerged, more often than not, de novo, in new areas.”6 The newer areas are signified by deprivation in all sense. These areas developed as a result of intense congestion, economic deprivation and blight as an adjunct to the historic city. The population also is the migrant groups from rural areas in Saurashtra, Rajasthan and far eastern states looking for livelihood opportunities. “The problems of battering life and environment are not separate ones, It is at bottom an experimental problem, that of starting a re- adaptation.” 7 But this has never been an attempt in planning of the growth of the city like Ahmadabad and as a result there is a large population residing in slums, which is also “an outward expression of physical impoverishment:” 8 and there has been no attempt to attack this central economic problem. The area of planning the growth in our cities has been completely left as a drawing board exercise and it only concerns with zoning without suggestions for developing community plans. This is amply reflected in the cities, which simply are allowed to grow in size in a complete disregard to the resultant life it offers. In Ahmadabad, the areas around the inner city initially started growing like ‘suburbs’ after the cantonment was set up by the British Agency. The areas developing after the 70s in the manner of squalor showed no regard to the danger it can pause to the entire city. The lessons of old city of Ahmadabad, which were rightly perceived and even highlighted by Patrick Geddes in his Report on Ahmadabad are unfortunately overlooked. The size of the community, its management by an indigenous group, the provision of satisfying the social and associational needs of the people at the settlement level for emotional bond and easiness in circulation (approachability within settlement) constituted the domain of communities where mutual sharing, agreement in common goals and a sense of well-being of the collective became the fundamental objective of settlement plans. Where do we see these concerns reflected in the mushrooming growth of the city today? The city to day is an endless spread where people of diverse background are pushed into an area where the might set the right and vested interests govern the condition of the scores of inhabitants who are trying to secure a place to survive for a livelihood. These populations have no amenities to support them. Even basic necessities are not present and individual families have to struggle for survival in scarcity. It is survival and life reduced to the basic minimum and in that struggle there is no community bondage prevailing in their day-to-day life, no sharing and no common agreement supporting a common existence. When the settlement grows beyond limits, it results into a faceless existence and the quality perhaps as an irreducible minimum! “A community that does not plan and build the necessary structures for common life will remain under a perpetual weight and handicap; its buildings may tower against the skies, but its actual social stature may be smaller. We need, in every part of the city, units in which cooperative behaviour can take the place of mass regulations, mass decisions, mass actions, imposed by ever remoter leaders and administrators. Small groups: small communities: institutions framed to the human scale are essential to purposive behaviour in modern society. Very stupidly we have overlooked the way in which large scale limits the opportunities all along the line: not merely by the friction of space, or burden of vast mechanical and administrative overhead, but also by diminishing opportunities. Thus as Raymond Unwin has pointed out that twenty small communities would not merely be more adequately governed, probably, than one city of one million: it would for example, give an opportunity for twenty mayors or city managers against one in the big centre. This rule holds in every other part of the society. With our overgrown cities, is it any wonder that we easily become the victims of propaganda machines, routine’s, and dictators? ”8 this is exactly the predicament of Ahmadabad today.

They say that your sister is the first female friend you’ll ever have.
Yes, there may be bickering and misunderstandings and oneupmanship happening all through the relationship, but for the most part – there’s love and understanding. You were both raised in the same crazy family and nobody gets your family like you do. One look between you both can convey an entire conversation.
All this and more, came to our minds when we met our beautiful customer, Merryl.
You see, Merryl’s sister had recently passed away and on her passing, she left a gorgeous ring to Merryl.
The ring was a beautiful rose gold garnet and black diamond piece, but it needed a little bit of TLC. The garnets and the diamonds were falling out and the gold was a little worn in places.
Merryl wanted the ring to look exactly the same, but just repaired and refreshed.
Bearing all of this in mind, our workshop began the remodelling process. Our team very carefully went about unsetting all the stones. Thankfully we were able to reuse the garnets and diamonds. The original ring had quite a high profile which compromised the integrity of the ring somewhat. We handmade the new ring with more gold and a lower profile. It meant the ring would be more comfortable to wear and last longer. As an example, the original ring weighed 3 grams and the new ring weighed 11 grams.
We were able to deliver Merryl a ring that still looked like her sister’s original ring, but was made to stand the test of time.
If you’re looking to refresh a piece of jewellery but you don’t want it to be unrecognizable from the original, we can do that for you. Just like we did for Merryl and her sister’s ring. We’re able to unset and reuse gemstones and we can even source gems to match the colour, size or cut of the existing gems. Following your wishes, we can remodel a piece to still look like the original, but will last a lot longer. Find out more about our remodelling process here.
Contact us and book a design appointment today!
Testimonial from Merryl:
Over the past two years I have bought four stunning pieces of jewellery from Artisans at Paddington.
My very first purchase was a beautiful floating pendant set with champagne and white diamonds – it was a present from my husband for our 25th wedding anniversary, and it is unique and very special. Hazel helped me to select it, and that was when my love affair with Artisans began!
My other three purchases have been rings, two of which were individually designed for me by Tammy and/or Hazel. One incorporated two pairs of stud earrings into a classic row with a modern twist, and my most recent ‘creation’ is the most exquisitely gorgeous rose and white gold Art Deco-style grey spinel, green tourmaline and diamond ring which I can’t stop looking at!!
Tammy also remade a ring which had great emotional significance to me because it had been a gift from my sister who passed away a few years ago. The ring had been cast rather than hand-made, and the claws and some of the stones had broken or fallen out. The remake is almost identical to the original, but stronger and much more durable.
I regularly receive compliments about all of these pieces because they are truly stunning, one-of-a-kind items which have been carefully crafted by Brisbane’s most highly-skilled jewellers.
But do you know what the best thing about Artisans is? Everyone who works there really seems to love his/her job, and this shows from the moment you walk through the door. There is the buzz of a happy workplace, with people who know their craft and enjoy what they’re doing.

There is often mention that if the performing arts want to be relevant, audiences need to see themselves and their stories on stage. More and more frequently I am hearing about projects like the one in Reading, PA Margy Waller wrote about last month.
A number of artists and arts groups worked together to create a transmedia production called “This Is Reading,” that allowed the residents of the city to talk about and depict their experiences in the community.
One of the collaborating groups, The Civilians, went to other cities around the country and videotaped interviews with residents about their best and worst memories as part of a virtual dialogue with the residents of Reading, PA.
The various elements of performance, projection and interactions were staged in a community event involving food trucks and special lighting.
According to Margy Waller, the producers went to great pains to ensure participation by a wide spectrum of the community,
“The producers made sure that residents got tickets, delivering them in person to people they were afraid might not learn of the show through traditional marketing. All of the tickets were free. When the first two weekends of six shows sold out quickly, they extended the show for a third weekend.”
As I read Waller’s post and explored some of the other links and videos about this event, I recalled assertions that the last Presidential election resulted as it did because people didn’t feel like they were being heard. I wondered if events like the one in Reading might provide the sense of being heard, even if the relevant political leaders didn’t attend.
It is theoretically easier to make oneself heard to a wider group of people than ever before thanks to the Internet and social media. I suspect that this method of expression doesn’t provide the confidence that what one has said has been sincerely acknowledged in a way that existed 25-30 years ago when the effective reach of a statement was much more limited.
Even as people are increasingly able to experience creative expression without leaving the comfort of their homes, perhaps the value that local arts and cultural organizations can offer is the sense that people are being heard and what they say has value. The quality of experience when others are present to witness your story depicted in a performance, visual representation, broadcast or projection is entirely different from having your story appear on an online forum for 100,000 anonymous eyes.

A state Supreme Court judge Tuesday ordered the Long Island Power Authority to pay Nassau school districts the full amount of tax payments billed by the county for the 2015-2016 school year.
Supreme Court Justice Anthony Marano in Mineola issued a temporary restraining order from the bench directing LIPA to immediately turn over the $3.72 million that it had withheld from the first-half payment of its total $50 million school tax bill, while the case continues in court.
More than 40 Nassau school districts had sued LIPA and the county in January, seeking full payment of the bills issued to LIPA by the county as payments in lieu of property taxes for more than 600 properties owned by the authority.
LIPA contended that the LIPA Reform Act of 2013 limited increases in such payments to 2 percent a year. School districts wanted Nassau to make up the difference, but the county argued that the power authority underestimated what it owed by calculating its bill based on the calendar year rather than the school year.
A lawyer for the Ingerman Smith law firm hailed Marano’s order in a memo to its school district clients. Partner Carrie-Anne Tondo wrote that the judge said the districts’ revenue losses would in “some way, shape or form equal less teachers, less programs, less books” and result “in irreparable harm to children.”
County Executive Edward Mangano said in a statement, “This is good news for local schools as the court prevented LIPA from its attempt to shift taxes onto the backs of residents.”
However, LIPA indicated the judge’s ruling will lead to a hike in electric customer bills. All LIPA costs ultimately are paid by ratepayers.
“We are disappointed the court ordered LIPA to make an additional $3.7 million payment in lieu of taxes in the interim while the case continues,” said spokesman Sid Nathan. “This payment will increase the bills paid by LIPA’s 1.1 million customers, a result at odds with the Legislature’s intent in the 2013 LIPA Reform Act.”
Nathan said LIPA was “reviewing all options available to best protect the interests of its customers.”
John Gross, partner at Ingerman Smith, rebuffed LIPA’s notion that taxpayers should shoulder a higher tax burden. “When you look at the impact on ratepayers,” he said, “it’s pennies.”
“When you create a system that school districts rely upon in planning their revenue receipt year after year and then suddenly pull the rug out from under them, it injures scores of school districts and thousands of kids,” Gross said.
LIPA has a mechanism to review its rates annually, and reconcile actual costs, which it can recoup or return to customers. The so-called delivery service adjustment can be triggered by an increase in taxes such as that resulting from Tuesday’s court ruling, among other factors.
The 2 percent tax cap was part of a multipronged strategy by LIPA and the state to reduce the utility’s exposure to taxes, which account for about 15 percent of every ratepayer’s bill. LIPA is grieving the payments in lieu of taxes that it pays on several National Grid Long Island power plants, and its contractor, PSEG Long Island, in 2014 ceased making sales tax payments on LIPA’s behalf to Nassau and Suffolk.
Although Marano denied the school district requests to address next year’s school tax bills, Tondo said Tuesday’s order “will make school districts substantially whole” for this year.

One of the region’s most popular WaterSmart plant guides, Nifty 50 has been updated and distributed to local water agencies and conservation gardens by the San Diego County Water Authority as part of the agency’s long-running efforts to promote water-use efficiency. It includes 50 plants selected because they are attractive, readily available in retail nurseries, non-invasive and easy to maintain. Highlighted plants typically last for years, fit the scale of residential landscapes and – once established – tolerate drought.

Pungent aromas link plants from the world’s driest regions. This is not the feminine floral essence, but a powerful scent often musky and acrid, carried in the rich oils that are shared by arid zone species. In lands of little rain and hot dry winds such as the Sirocco of northern Africa or the Santa Anas of Los Angeles, oils in the indigenous plants are key to their survival over a long dry season. These oils serve a purpose — to replace moisture lost from foliage and wood. Oil helps to keep cells from collapsing from dehydration, and the potent aromas discourage hungry wildlife that eats anything during drought.
The dry, inhospitable birthplace of our most redolent herbs means they are underestimated as drought-resistant plants. All too often they are coddled in cool, damp gardens where their oils fail to accumulate, leaving these individuals lacking in aroma.

Adapt Pharma said today that it filed a European Marketing Application for its naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray for the treatment of opioid overdose.
The Dublin-based company’s product is a ready-to-use, needle-free device that delivers a single dose of naloxone in an 0.1 mL nasal spray and does not require assembly prior to use, according to Adapt Pharma.
The company’s nasal sprays are comprised of concentrated naloxone that provides emergency treatment for opioid overdose, including prescription opioid painkiller-related overdose, fentayl, carfentanil, and heroin-related overdose.
Healthcare practitioners have used injectable naloxone to treat opioid overdose patients for more than 40 years. In 2016, Health Canada approved Adapt Pharma’s Narcan naloxone nasal spray – 1 year after the FDA approved the product in the U.S.
The company’s products are the 1st and only nasal formulation of naloxone available in the U.S., Canada and Europe, according to Adapt Pharma, and its nasal sprays are the most frequently prescribed formulation of naloxone in U.S.-based pharmacies.
A 29-patient pharmacokinetic study demonstrated that the naloxone nasal spray achieved naloxone plasma levels greater than those achieved by the instramuscular naloxone injection, Adapt Pharma reported.
In January this year, the FDA approved the 2mg formulation of its Narcan nasal spray for the emergency treatment of opioid overdose.
The 2mg dose is intended for opioid-dependent patients that are at risk for severe withdrawal, but are not at a high risk for continued opioid exposure.
The 4mg nasal spray has been commercially available since February last year, after it was reviewed and approved by the FDA under an expedited pathway.

AOC Pushes for Automation Claiming There Is No Need to Fear
Some Americans are worried that their jobs may be taken over by robots. There is a good chance that we will start to become more automated as we become more advanced with robotics.
This is a big deal for Americans with self-driving cars threatening truckers and manufacturers replacing people with machines. But AOC claims there is nothing to worry about.
“At the SXSW Conference in Austin, Texas, today, Ocasio-Cortez attributed widespread fear of robots taking jobs to the failure of underlying systems that should mitigate income inequality and economic precariousness. “We should not be haunted by the specter of being automated out of work,” she says. “We should not feel nervous about the tollbooth collector not having to collect tolls. We should be excited by that. But the reason we’re not excited about it is because we live in a society where if you don’t have a job, you are left to die.”
“The freshman congresswoman floated a proposal by billionaire and Microsoft founder Bill Gates to tax robots at 90 percent to make up workers’ lost income from automation. “Whether it’s a tax rate, whether it’s distributing wealth that’s created by automation – if we approach solutions to our systems and start entertaining ideas like that, then we should be excited about automation because of what it could potentially mean,” she said.
Ocasio-Cortez then mused that with adequate policies in place, introducing more robots into the workforce could allow society more time to dabble in art and science, and actually increase the pace of innovation, freeing up “more time enjoying the world we live in.”
“Not all creativity needs to be bonded by wage,” she said to loud applause.
So her idea is to tax the heck out of companies that are trying to reduce costs by using robots. I guess that’s one way to slow a technological revolution. But is she trying to create a welfare state where we all live off the govt? Is that the goal to take away all other means of living. Especially with her stance on gun control, she would cripple America.

CHILDREN who have made significant lifestyle changes with the help of local Change4Life programmes took to the red carpet as star guests at a premier of a promotional DVD.
The inspirational film – which had its debut showing at the Tyneside Cinema on Wednesday – was commissioned by NHS North of Tyne as part of a package of promotions to help families access local Change4Life support services to help reduce childhood obesity.
Dr Dawn Scott, public health consultant for childhood obesity at NHS North of Tyne, said: “We recognise that children, young people and their families need to hear and learn about local Change4Life programmes through the experience of others who have been there and done it.
“Hearing about the experience of other children and families can be very powerful and help dispel some of the myths and fears people considering joining a Change4Life programme may have.”
She added: “The DVD came about as we recognised that families were often unsure about where to get appropriate help and support.
“Often families do not know what that support looks like, they build up many preconceptions about local programmes and even what type of families they are for.
“We wanted the families that took part in the film to be honest – to say not just how great the programmes and support is – but also to share their concerns and fears as these are often what prevent families from taking the positive steps towards lifestyle change.”
Several North East families feature in the nine-minute video talking about their personal experiences of being involved in a local Change4Life programme and the impact it’s had upon their life.
Dr Meng Khaw, director of public health for Newcastle and North Tyneside, said that eating the right food and taking regular exercise is really important to our present and our future physical and mental wellbeing.
Dr Khaw said: “Making the wrong choices can lead to individuals becoming overweight or very overweight. And while often we know that we need to make some changes to the way we lead our lives, it is often difficult to take those first steps.
“We know from our experience of working with families that they often need and value additional support to make suitable and timely changes.
“By sharing the genuine barriers felt by real families, and by allowing them to share how they feel about the programmes, we can show that change is possible – it is not always easy, but it is possible.”
The DVD will be used by professionals working with children and young people across public sector, community and voluntary organisations who find themselves needing to support families to make lifestyle change.
One of the stars of the Change4Life film is nine-year-old Courtney Hood from Northumberland (pictured).
Courtney used to be constantly snacking and was teased at school for being heavy.
But now she’s swapped chips and sweets for fruit and salad and has lost so much weight she looks like a different girl.
She’s full of confidence and bursting with energy and loves being out and about on her bike or playing on the trampoline at her home in Stobhill, Morpeth.
The transformation happened after Courtney joined the 10-week Change4Life, Get Active Northumberland (GAN), run by Northumberland Care Trust for children aged seven to 13 years.
Get Active Northumberland is one of the many initiatives being run under the Change4Life campaign, which aims to help families lead healthier lifestyles and urges them to eat well, move more and live longer.
“I think GAN is a fabulous scheme,” said Courtney’s mum, Ann.
“She decided she wanted to give it a go and then she started to eat healthier things, like fruit and cucumber and salad.
“And it wasn’t just about healthy food – they tried all sorts of sports like swimming and volleyball.
“She used to come home from school and just sit and watch the telly, but now she goes out on her bike or on the trampoline.
“I have seen a real transformation in Courtney and I am really proud of her.”
The rest of the family, including Courtney’s dad, Paul, siblings Jordan, six, Calum, 11, and Sasha, 14, have also started to enjoy a healthier lifestyle and diet.
The Change4Life programmes have been commissioned by NHS North of Tyne from Newcastle City Council, North Tyneside Council and Northumberland Care Trust, as part of an approach to developing support services for children and young people in addressing childhood obesity.

Manufacturing electronic, semiconductor, biotech and medical devices demand care and precision. Often a controlled environment is needed during the production process to limit the amount of dust, particles and other contaminants in the manufacturing area. A clean room environment controls the level of contamination. Eliminating any sub-micron airborne contamination is a controlled process. Clean rooms are used in many industries where small particles can adversely affect the manufacturing process.
There are nine different levels of clean room classifications by ISO (International Standards Organization). The clean room classifications are rated according to how much particulate of specific sizes exist per cubic meter. The lower the ISO classification, the cleaner the environment. The “cleanest” clean room is a class 1. A clean room environment involves many different elements like clean room garments, clean room HVAC systems, modular clean rooms and other sophisticated equipment.
With the demand for clean room manufacturing increasing, the need for torque tools that meet stringent cleanliness requirements has increased. Responding to this industry need, Mountz offers a selection of clean room torque screwdrivers. The hand tools are manufactured to comply with Class 100 Clean Room standards (ISO 2) and are polished and sealed with a PTFE impregnated anodized coating that creates a tool nearly 40 times as clean as “off the shelf” torque tools.
The reliable clean room screwdrivers have corrosion resistant external components and specially developed smooth skin seals to prevent the transportation of any contaminants into the clean room. The seal also allows the screwdrivers to be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol or other recommended clean room cleaning agents. Specially prepared micro-filtered grease is used to lubricate the internal mechanism.
Cam-Over Torque Screwdriver Technology
Built with a cam-over design, the accurate clean room torque screwdriver prevents a fastener or bolt from being under and over tightened. The design action of the cam-over torque screwdriver is such that when the tool reaches its preset torque value the mechanism disengages from the drive thus limiting the torque applied. Also, the thrust bearings ensure that the torque setting is independent of any end load applied by the operator.
These clean room drivers are ideal for fastening applications where over-torque conditions are not tolerated. As a quality control tool, the torque screwdriver allows any user to deliver the correct torque with confidence regardless of task and operator skill level.
Preset Torque Screwdriver
A preset torque screwdriver is similar to a person setting an alarm clock to signal the achievement of a selected time. The clean room torque screwdriver is pre-set to the required torque value of the application and then the tool signals the operator when torque is achieved. A preset torque screwdriver does not feature an external adjustment scale. These tools have internal adjustment mechanism for setting the torque value and must be preset using a torque tester. Preset screwdrivers are ideal for production applications where there is one torque setting required and you need to prevent incidental or operator tampering of the torque setting. However, if the torque specification changes or a new project requires a different torque setting, the preset torque screwdriver is still flexible enough that a new torque setting can be set internally using a torque analyzer.
The radial cam design of the Mountz preset torque screwdriver allows for a smooth cam action with minimal wear on the tool. This provides precision torque control and extends the operating life cycle of the tool before necessary routine tool maintenance is required. Designed and manufactured to meet or exceed the accuracy and repeatability requirements of ISO6789: 2003, Mountz offers various clean room screwdriver models that range from 5.7 ozf.in to 120 lbf.in.
Using a quality clean room torque screwdriver makes a safer world through accuracy and precision. Controlling torque is essential for companies to ensure their product’s quality, safety and reliability isn’t compromised. The failure of a three-cent fastener that isn’t properly tightened can lead to catastrophic or latent failures. Fasteners that are insufficiently fastened can vibrate loose and excessive torque can strip threaded fasteners.
Numerous manufacturing applications now require clean room torque tools. Mountz clean room screwdrivers are the only torque solution. For those stringent clean room requirements, quality cannot be compromised. Find a solution today.

U.S. plant closings in September, October
Another 114 American plants closed or announced closings, this month and last. In September 2011, 56 plants closed. This month so far, it’s another 58.
The rate of closings is typical for recent years. The sectors in which plants closed are the usual ones. Metal products lead off, with 29 plants closing Sept.-Oct. Pulp and paper products follow with 18 plants closing in the same period. Food products follow in third place with 13.
The states losing manufacturing plants also follow a pattern typical for the past few years. Several states have made the list every time in Sept.-Oct., in Jon Clark’s Plant Closing News, which gathers and compiles this useful information—Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. Several states are making the list most of the time this fall, including California, Illinois, Washington.
Causes for the closings vary somewhat.
- Among the companies closing plants, there were 25 bankruptcies in September 2011 and 28 bankruptcies in October. Many were in either metal products or printing.
- A number of the closings are moves to consolidate. Monterey Gourmet Foods, one of the world’s largest tofu producers, is closing its Washington State plant and relocating some employees to its other facilities in California. Signature Offset is closing its printing facility in Florida to consolidate its operations in two Mississippi locations. (Florida and Tennessee in particular tend to lose facilities right and left in consolidations.) Atrium Patio Doors is closing its plant in Greenville, Texas, and relocating manufacture to its facilities in Iowa.
- Some of the closings are companies moving facilities or jobs to Mexico or elsewhere abroad. Alpha Technology in Howell, Mich., is closing and moving manufacturing operations to Mexico. Baldwin Hardware in Reading, Pa., is now a division of Stanley, Black & Decker, which is moving manufacturing to Mexico.
Contrary to what might seem likely, most of the plants are not closing in blue states losing their factories to profit-friendly red states. GOP governors might suggest directly or via Fox News that their states are ‘job-creating’. The Republican governor of Tennessee, to do him justice, actually seems to be trying to attract companies to his state. But statistically there are more plants closing in Rick Scott’s Florida, Scott Walker’s Wisconsin, and Bill Haslam’s Tennessee than in any blue state except possibly New York. With state population factored in, the preponderance of factory jobs lost in red states goes up.
‘Right-to-work’ states have not fared particularly well in these hard times, either. Despite the fear tactics and intensive lobbying that cram ‘right-to-work’ laws through state legislatures, Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Mississippi, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia have all had further plant closings in September and October. The recent closings come on top of others in 2011 including summer. The month of June alone saw three plant closings in Florida, two in Alabama, four in Texas, one in Mississippi, four in Ohio, etc. The flip side of the same coin is that companies do not seem to be relocating en masse from progressive states to the most regressive ones, as has been feared.
A quick inference to be drawn from the numbers is that whack-job rhetoric is not a short cut to enticing industry into your state. Chris Christie, Kasich, and Walker among other governors have abysmal records on stimulating employment. Scorched-earth labor policy does not guarantee prosperity even in the short term; nor does offering extensive tax advantages and other deal-sweeteners to every company that calls. There is also a broader, long-range concern. Stiff the public, and working people, at your own peril: Companies that lay off too extensively, in the effort to get lean and mean, end up cutting into their own customer base.
Such observations are common sense.
Some of what is going on in Georgia, however, is mystifying. One of the companies cutting employees this month is biotech firm Dendreon. Plant Closing News announced Oct. 1 that Dendreon is cutting 117 employees at its plant in Union City, Ga. What makes this strange is that Dendreon just opened the cancer treatment plant recently, and it got FDA approval in the first half of 2011. The large (155,000sf) facility is located near the huge Atlanta airport. The company web site announces that “Dendreon is building out manufacturing facilities in Atlanta, Georgia and Orange County, California, and both are expected to provide additional capacity in mid-2011.”

What began with only 18 police bicycle riders in 1997 in Florham Park, NJ as a four-day bicycle ride from New Jersey to Washington, DC to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial has grown exponentially. Its goal is to raise public awareness about law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty, and since 1997 it has expanded into nine chapters with 2,600 members nationwide who make the trip annually.
Lt. Adrian Acevedo of the South Orange Police Department has been participating in the Police Unity Tour since 2005. This year (and every year) it will take place May 9th to 12th in an effort to ensure that the memory and sacrifice of fallen officers are never forgotten. According to Lt. Acevedo, today some 900,000 law enforcement officers in the U.S. put their lives on the line for the safety and protection of others. He notes “that approximately every 50 hours a peace officer is killed protecting families and communities and there were over 60,000 assaults against law enforcement officers in 2020, resulting in 18,568 injuries. On average, 214 officers are killed in the line of duty each year.”
To make a donation to sponsor Lt. Acevedo and members of the South Orange Police Department please go to this website. Your donation will help sponsor the Memorial and its programs like the Officer of the Month Award and other special projects. Lt. Acevedo notes, “With every dollar that I raise for the Police Unity Tour, I’m doing my part to honor our nation’s law enforcement officers.”
