Wheelchair of the Future?
After four years of research and development, Kevin Halsall has finally unveiled his incredible new invention. The New Zealand native has created a hands free prototype wheelchair for his friend Marcus Thompson, who was paralyzed after a skiing accident. The OGO is a mix of a wheelchair and a Segway that balances on two wheels, adjusting and moving as the person sitting in the chair leans forward, backward, or side to side. Halsall, who is an engineer by trade, purchased a Segway, disassembled the device and then reconstructed it around a wheelchair.
“It’s one of the life affirming things that this machine does, it puts you in touch with your whole body again,” Mr. Thompson said.
The OGO has a top speed of 12 miles per hour and the wheels can even be swapped out for off-road capabilities. Its’ heavy duty battery gives it an expected range of almost 18 miles and the lightweight frame makes it easy to transport. The OGO is a finalist in the National Innovators Awards and is in the process of being made available for purchase. A price has yet to be determined, but Mr. Halsall wants to keep it as low as possible so the OGO is affordable for those who need it.

Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: STLD) issued third-quarter earnings guidance Tuesday in the range of 66 to 70 cents per diluted share vs. a Street estimate of 71 cents.
The company said it expects third-quarter earnings from the company's steel operations to decrease sequentially from the second quarter.
Steel Dynamics cited "lower profitability from the company's sheet steel operations, as shipments and average steel pricing declined in the quarter, more than offsetting lower scrap costs."
The underlying demand for domestic steel "remains principally intact" for the primary steel-consuming sectors, according to Steel Dynamics, with the construction segment being particularly strong.
The company also expects lower third-quarter profits in its metals recycling platform.
Earnings from the steel fabrication business are expected to improve sequentially, according to Steel Dynamics.
"The company continues to experience strong steel fabrication order backlogs and customers remain optimistic concerning non-residential construction projects."
Steel Dynamics shares were trading down 1.07% at $30.63 in Wednesday’s premarket session. The stock has a 52-week high of $48.17 and a 52-week low of $25.02.

A few weeks ago I got an email from Robyn after she listened to my podcast about Whole Wheat Pizza Dough. She wanted to bring Pizza Fit ‘n Free to my attention–a fat free pizza. I immediately requested samples so I could review for the site. It’s pizza people. PIZZA. You know how I feel about pizza. I even devoted a complete page with my pizza inspired creations.
The company was nice enough to send me a few samples. I have to admit–I didn’t have high hopes. I’m not the biggest frozen pizza fan. I’d much rather make my own on homemade whole grain pizza dough or Trader Joe’s whole wheat dough. But.. MAN.. it would be nice to have some single serves to pull out for a quick meal whenever the pizza urge strikes–which, for me, is often.
The Pizza Fit ‘n Free is a good size–about that of a standard tortilla pizza. I was actually surprised at the amount of cheese on top. Considering it’s "fat free" I just assumed there’d be minimal cheese.
According to the cooking instructions, you are suppose to cook the pizza frozen in a 400 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. So I fired up the oven and got working on my toppings. You didn’t think I’d leave the the pizza as is, did you? :) I decided on peppers and turkey pepperoni.
The company only offers plain pizzas and they actually encourage you to top them yourself. There’s even a whole page devoted to topping ideas straight from their customers.
Even though cooking instructions said 8-10 minutes I cooked mine for about 12. It came out looking like this…
Crispy crust, gooey cheese and complete pizza goodness!
I was seriously surprised how good it was. The cheese was amazing! I’ve never seen fat free cheese melt like real cheese before. I didn’t think it was possible! It’s why I don’t buy fat free cheese, ever. According to the web site…
How is your cheese fat free?
We have developed a way to process the fat out of the cheese, similar to the way they process the fat out of skim milk. The cheese is 100% real dairy mozzarella cheese with no fat substitutes.
Curious… but I must admit tasty.
The crust was ok, but like the cheese, it surprised me. I didn’t expect to get that "crunch" when I bit into it but I did. It made each bite very satisfying.
Nutritionally we’re looking at 248 calories, 0g of fat, 41g of carbs, 3g of fiber and 20g of protein per pie. That’s 4 old WWP and 6 new WWPP. Add a ton of "free" toppings and or a side salad and you got yourself a great pizza centric meal for pretty low points.
You guys know I feel about making your own meals–I do devote a whole site to it–but I’m also a big believer in planning and convenience. There will be times when you don’t feel like cooking dinner. When you are in a rush and have no desire to make a lunch for work the next day. There will even be times you just feel like having some pizza. It happens. :) When it does I’d rather have a few of these in my back pocket then pick up the phone and order in or hit a drive thru.
That’s why I’m joining the Pizza Fit ‘n Free affiliate program. I love when I find products I like and that I can work with. That means if you are interested in trying the fat free pizza and purchase it by clicking a link from my site I’ll earn 10% commission. I only partner with companies and recommend products that I have tried and enjoyed. It’s one way for me to earn money through the site, especially now that this is my JOB! :) Click here to check out other ways to shop and support Roni’s Weigh.
All that being said, I really do love the pizza, of course I do, again… it’s PIZZA! :) Has anyone else tried it before?

Oil Prices and Shell Profits
We have "bloated surpluses" of oil and consumption is way down this year in the U.S. from a year ago. OPEC has already cut oil production this year and there is no reason to believe it is going up anytime soon.
Royal Dutch Shell reported a 58 percent drop in Q1 profits compared to last year. This is similar to the 62 percent drop at BP and the 80 percent drop by ConocoPhillips.
Boy, I'll say one thing - it sure is a good thing that McCain/Palin didn't win. Their whole "Drill Baby Drill" energy plan looks pretty silly now (I commented on this months ago before the election).
Even if we allowed drilling anywhere, anytime in the U.S., oil companies are not going to waste their declining profits on building new rigs to flood the already oversaturated market with more oil. All that would do is reduce their profits even further.

The global sea level is going to rise at least four feet by the year 2100. Parts of coastal cities like San Francisco are going to be underwater when that time comes. This is uncontroversial in the scientific community, and there are detailed maps showing exactly where the land will be lost. We can go to those places right now and see what is going to disappear under the ocean and the bay. I am using future flood zone maps from the Pacific Institute in Oakland to make a photographic portrait of it all around the San Francisco waterfront. Their scientists are happy to work with me to keep my images tethered to the data. A sample map is at the end of my uploaded images. Take a look and think about what is within the pink zones. And that's just one of the maps. I am careful in the photographs to show surprising, little-known, even wondrous things about the city. I realize that this subject is scary, so I try to find ways to invite people in. This is some of the most recognizable real estate on the planet. I think showing it is a better way to talk about global warming. Pictures of polar bears and glaciers are too abstract and not close enough to home to make it feel real. I plan to make about seventy-five photographs that work together as a group, then exhibit and publish it. The shooting should take me about another year. I want to use my skills as a visual artist to address our most serious and immediate need.

Introduction to Buzz Clifford
Buzz Clifford is a pop singer-songwriter from Berwyn, Illinois. He started his recording career probably during the early 60s music era. While his first single failed to chart, its follow-up “Baby Sittin’ Boogie” became a big crossover hit in 1961. After his stint in the National Guard, Clifford also became a songwriter while continuing to sing and performing (even joining in a couple of bands). More on Buzz Clifford here in this article.
Early life and career
Pop and classic rock and roll singer-songwriter and musician Buzz Clifford was born Reese Francis Clifford III in Berwyn, Illinois on October 8, 1941. He became interested in music when he was a kid and began to learn to play guitar. When he reached his teens, he won championships at many local talent contests. Still in his teens, he tried his luck in the recording by releasing a handful of singles that went unnoticed.
During the early 1960s he signed to Columbia Records. His first single “Hello Mr. Moonlight” failed to chart. However, this failure would be made up by the follow-up “Baby Sittin’ Boogie.” A novelty tune written by Johnny Parker, “Baby Sittin’ Boogie” became a crossover hit: #6 on the Billboard pop chart, #28 on the country singles chart, and #27 on the R&B singles chart. It also went to #17 on the UK singles chart that same year. “Baby Sittin’ Boogie” sold over a million copies and was certified gold. Now it has been a favorite oldies music item.
The success of the “Baby Sittin’ Boogie” led Clifford to earn spot guestings on TV shows such as Dick Clark’s American Bandstand. He also had the opportunity to tour and perform in the UK along with the other hottest acts like Dion and Freddy Cannon. The effect of the singles’ success made Cliffod somewat of a teen idol, just like Columbia fashioned him to be.
After the initial success
However, despite the success Clifford went to serve for the National Guard the following year. After his stint there, he found another employment as a songwriter, penning tunes for Petula Clark, Lou Rawls, Freddie King, and Kris Kristofferson, among others. He also wrote songs for several labels such as 20th Century Records, Cameo, and White Whale.
Clifford also established his own band named Carp during the late 60s; it consisted of himself, Danny Moore (the writer of the classic “My Maria”) and actor Gary Busey (most known for his title role in The Buddy Holly Story). He also became a member of the group Hamilton Streetcar for a time. He also did recording sessions with David Marks (ex-Beach Boys) but theses were never released.
In the 1990s Clifford and his Carp band mates reunited to release an album Work Tapes. Clifford and Marks went on to collaborate and tour, along with Clifford’s own two sons.
One of Clifford’s earliest singles on Dot label entitled “I See, I Am” was sampled by Beck on his single “Milk and Honey” for his album Midnite Vultures, which became a commercial success in 1999.
In 2011 Clifford and his two sons reunited recruited other members. Together they recorded and released a new CD Bright Lights Shine.


If 2006 could be defined by a song, then there’s only one song that it could be. It appeared on an advert for Radio 1 early in the year, the distinctive jittery keyboard riff giving way to a vocal that sounded almost other worldly. When it was eventually released, it became the first single to go to Number One on download sales only. And if only for that reason, 2006 belonged to Crazy by Gnarls Barkley.
That collaboration between producer Danger Mouse and soul singer Cee Lo was absolutely everywhere throughout the year. It blared from mobile phones, it was the soundtrack in every clothes shop you visited, and it was impossible to switch on any radio station without hearing “does that make me crazy…”. And impressively enough, it was near impossible to become sick of. Despite the song’s ubiquity, Crazy became the song of the year, mainly due to its sheer excellence.
Crazy, while being far from the first ever download-only single, certainly popularised the way for a whole slew of others. One of the most notable download-only tracks came from a man who, ten years earlier, had become one of the reluctant leaders of Britpop. Yet the optimism and joie de vivre of that period had given way to disillusionment and a jaded cynicism. Yes, like a decade before, Jarvis Cocker was back to articulate the thoughts of his generation. And what did his generation think in 2006? Well, “cunts are still Running The World” for one…
One hearing of Cocker’s first ever solo single proved that the man had not lost his magic. Michael Hubbard of musicOMH described it as “unbridled anger from a man setting himself up as a champion of the working classes”, and if you listened carefully you could almost hear the bile seeping from the speakers. The subsequent album was just as impressive, but didn’t quite have the shock value of hearing Running The World for the first time.
Elsewhere, Welsh rockers The Automatic seemed to own the summer festival circuit with their unstoppable cry of “what’s that coming over the hill, is it a Monster“, yet most people agreed that it was getting pretty damn annoying by the time September had drawn around. The more discerning festival goer preferred the soundtrack of Justice Vs Simian, whose pumping We Are Your Friends was the perfect mix of dancefloor beats and memorable songcraft.
2006 could also be said to the year that MySpace burst into the public consciousness (so much so that Rupert Murdoch decided it was worth shelling out $580m for). If there was one singer who exploited the potential of MySpace to its full it was Lily Allen. At the start of the year, her MySpace page was being furiously emailed around friends – by December it’s actor Keith Allen who’s now better known as “Lily’s dad”. Smile was everywhere during the summer, but it was LDN that really brought her to everyone’s attention, a bittersweet ode to her hometown that passed into legend for rhyming Tesco with ‘al-fresco’. She gave us a damn good interview as well.
One of Lily’s friends also broke big this year. Wimbledon may previously be best known for wombles and a certain tennis tournament, but it’ll soon be famous as the home of Jamie T. While Salvador was an excellent opening salvo, it was Sheila which really demonstrated what the young singer/songwriter was all about, a ridiculously addictive John Betjeman sampling number with the winning opening couplet of “Sheila goes out with her mate Stella, it gets poured all over her fella”. The debut album follows in 2007.
If you’re familiar with the term Erotic Volvo, you’re either a reader of some very specialist magazines, or you’ll have witnessed the intense lunacy that is a Misty’s Big Adventure live experience. Fronted by the lugubrious Grandmaster Gareth, and featuring an enormous dancing man with inflated blue gloves over his red all-in-one cloak (the aforementioned Volvo), Misty’s single Fashion Parade was a biting satire on the ‘indie’ scene. With a video that mercilessly took the piss out of Franz Ferdinand, a subtle “ooooohhhhhhh” swipe at the Kaiser Chiefs and a cameo from none other than Noddy Holder, Fashion Parade was one of the year’s best kept secrets. 2007 could well be their year.
Of the more established bands, Scissor Sisters returned and did the almost impossible task of sounding even more gay than last time with the wondrously fun I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’, Muse went all slinky and funky with Supermassive Black Hole and Keane came back sounding weirdly like U2, especially on Is It Any Wonder. Those curmudgeonly Arctic Monkeys meanwhile decided to release chart-ineligible EPs which just happened to contain some of their finest moments yet. Despair In The Departure Lounge and Leave Before The Lights Come On were at least the equal of anything on their debut album.
Of the bands likely to be tipped ‘this year’s Arctic Monkeys’, Dundee’s The View, released the incomprehensible yet wonderful Wasted Little DJs, Larrikin Love had a string of excellent singles, of which the highlight was the Tony Blair baiting Downing Street Kindling, while the year’s most unlikely icon turned out to be a 15 stone lesbian from Portland, Oregon. Beth Ditto, lead singer of The Gossip belted out Standing In The Way Of Control and couldn’t fail to bewitch all who heard her.
Throughout the year Girls Aloud and Sugababes kept the ‘quality pop’ flag flying, while Take That reformed and slayed all before them with the number one hit of Patience. All Saints also got back together, yet nobody appeared to really care. Their reunion was hardly Rock Steady. Some of the year’s finest pop though was produced by three polka-dot clad girls from Brighton. The Pipettes‘ Pull Shapes and Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me produced the most fervent hand-jives of the year amongst those in the know.
Yet the more serious teenager was more interested in a darker shade of music. The ‘is it emo, is it a goth revival?’ debate ran and ran throughout 2006, but My Chemical Romance‘s third album catapulted them into the stratosphere. It was trailed by Welcome To The Black Parade, an utterly barmy mini-rock opera which musicOMH‘s Vik Bansal described as comparable to “everyone from Blink 182 to Queen in one song and (still) not sound crap”. The Daily Mail hated it, which makes it good enough for most right-thinking folk. Embrace meanwhile, despite World At Your Feet being the official England World Cup choice, just sent most people to sleep.
And that was the year in a nutshell. For those who say that 2006 was a disappointing musical 12 months, just point them towards the hopeless windswept romanticism of Made Up Love Song #43 by Guillemots, the hypnotic beat of CSS‘ Let’s Make Love And Listen To Death From Above, the sumptuous electronica of Hot Chip‘s Over And Over, or Metric‘s undeniably thrilling introduction to Monster Hospital. We think it was a great year for music. Does that make us crazy? Possibly.

There’s a reason they tell you to write what you know.
Tom Rachman was a Rome correspondent for the Associated Press and an editor at the International Herald Tribune in Paris, all of which goes a long way towards explaining why his debut novel–a glimpse at the “topsy-turvy private lives of the reporters and editors of an English-language newspaper in Rome”–succeeds so well.
I picked up The Imperfectionists while killing time in Penn Station (damn you, Hudson News!!) “Spectacular,” screamed the cover; “magnificent,” “beguiling.” (Beguiling?) The back cover, too: filled with glowing endorsements.
It’s immediately obvious why not much space was warranted for any sort of Imperfectionists plot summary. Though the book’s various characters are related–all affiliated with the newspaper in question, which is only ever referred to as “the newspaper”–their stories are presented as vignettes, a dozen or so pages each for a handful of the paper’s employees, and even in one case (my favorite vignette) an elderly reader struggling to keep up with the news (on Feb. 18, 2007, she is reading an issue from April 1994). In between these vignettes are even briefer glimpses at the founding of the paper and its evolution from a frivolous collection of briefs into a publication with a real voice and reputation, and back to a budget-starved anachronism in the world of online journalism.
It would be unfair to pretend that my enjoyment of The Imperfectionists didn’t come at least in part from being able to relate. Although I work for the website of a business newspaper in New York, and not, say, the copy desk of an American-led newspaper in Rome, there are plenty of similarities–punishing corrections policies, personality clashes, disputes over editorial direction, even changes in newsroom noise levels depending on time of day (noisy chatter in the mornings, quiet typing in the afternoons). The people in The Imperfectionists may not be the same as my coworkers, or yours, but they might as well be. There’s Herman, a 30-year veteran editor, who distributes a much-hated internal newsletter documenting the latest typos, and maintains a condescending style guide with notes like “Literally: This word should be deleted.” There’s Craig, the news editor who thinks of nothing but headlines from 6 a.m. until late at night when he returns home to his girlfriend. We have Winston, an aspiring cub reporter who’s too scared of the actual task of reporting to turn in anything useful. And the book opens with Lloyd, an aging freelancer whose inability to keep up with sources or technology leads him to fabricate news in the hope of preserving his value to the paper. These are just a few of the book’s cast, all of whom, in just a brief glimpse, Rachman manages to make simultaneously endearing and flawed. Because really, in the age of aggregation and blogging, citizen journalism and Twitter, what is print journalism itself if not endearing and flawed?
In reading The Imperfectionists, I am reminded of my reaction to the fifth and final season of The Wire, which focused on crime coverage at The Baltimore Sun (where Wire creator David Simon worked as a reporter). The Wire’s strength, or at least one of them, was its ability to create relatable characters without removing them from their true environment: Cops spoke like cops, drug dealers like drug dealers and journalists like journalists. The show was full of characters, but absent caricatures. The Imperfectionists has that same strength.

Sachin Tendulkar joins hands with Livpure Foundation for the "ShuddhPaani, Swasth Bharat" clean water initiative
Apr 24, 2017
When the ‘God of Cricket’ stresses on the importance of pure drinking water, you realise that the quality of water plays a significant role. Sachin Tendulkar has joined hands with Livpure Foundation to launch "ShuddhPaani, Swasth Bharat" initiative for promoting the cause of availability of clean drinking water to every household.
What’s the situation in India when it comes to clean water?
The national healthcare survey of 2013 suggests that less than one-third of households in India have access to purified water. It’s disappointing! With the advancement in technology, more people across the country should have easy access to pure and healthy drinking water.
As Sachin rightly pointed out, most common infectious diseases are waterborne. It’s important that people are aware of the risks and educated about the need to drink clean water. "ShuddhPaani, Swasth Bharat" is an initiative to safeguard children’s health and reduce/eradicate child mortality in India.
The aim is to bring purity in the lives of every Indian by providing access to clean water. Access to clean water on a sustainable basis is the fundamental and unalienable human right. Livpure Foundation seeks to address this crucial problem facing our population at large.
According to WHO’s estimates, about 5,02,000 Indians are affected by waterborne diseases yearly. Furthermore, 3,61,000 children under the age of five die of diarrhoea annually. The only solution to this problem is providing clean drinking water.
How is Livpure helping the community?
The "ShuddhPaani, Swasth Bharat" campaign is designed to restore cleanliness of water bodies and help maintain an ecological balance in the environment. The main challenge of inadequate drinking water available to low-income groups still needs to be resolved.
The Livpure Foundation is a social service, non-profit, apolitical, and non-sectarian organisation with a pan India presence. Its aim is to reach out to different communities across the country and provide clean and purified water. The foundation continues to aid people in West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana.
Livpure is India’s fastest growing point-of-use water purification company and has more than one million users. Through the Livpure Foundation, the company is looking forward to helping more number of people in different regions. India needs more important initiatives such as "ShuddhPaani, Swasth Bharat" that impact our communities and help citizens lead happy and healthier lives.

Specialty Insurance Coverage
Most of our visitors are looking for Michigan insurance quotes on one or more of the four essential types of coverage: property, life, auto, and health insurance. However, dozens of additional specialty insurance policies are available, and the fear of the future has made some of these specialty policies big sellers. On this page, we'll review some of the most popular types of Michigan specialty insurance to help you decide if the coverage is necessary for you.
Michigan Disability Insurance
Disability insurance replaces a certain percentage of your income in the event that you can no longer work due to an injury or illness. Considering that you're more likely to become disabled than to die prematurely, getting Michigan insurance quotes on a disability policy may not be a bad idea. Only 29% of American workers have disability insurance through their employers, and those who do may not have enough. Typically, Michigan disability insurance only pays a portion of your original salary for a limited period of time. For slightly more expensive premiums, you can increase the benefits and the period of time you would receive those benefits.
Michigan Cancer Insurance
You might wonder why you would bother with Michigan insurance quotes on a cancer insurance policy if you already have health insurance coverage. In reality, you probably don't need cancer insurance if you have a good health insurance policy. Your standard Michigan health insurance coverage should pay for all or most of the expenses you would incur if you got cancer. Most cancer insurance policies also contain exclusions for skin cancer, which is the most common type of cancer in the United States. If the type of cancer you develop is not covered by your cancer insurance policy, your premiums would have basically gone to waste.
Michigan Long-Term Care Insurance
Michigan long term care insurance is an increasingly necessary form of coverage for two reasons. First, Americans are living longer than ever. With longer life expectancies, it's much more likely that the average person will need some form of long-term care in his/her final years. Secondly, as with most medical expenses, the cost of long-term care is rising faster than inflation. Currently, the average annual cost for a private room in a nursing home is $66,000 per year. Long-term care insurance would help pay for these expenses, whether for a nursing home, in-home care, or assisted living facilities. You might consider getting Michigan insurance quotes on a long term care plan if you do not have other resources saved for these expenses.

CARSON STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT’s nomination for consumer financial protection bureau
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman André Carson released the following statement today in response to President Obama's nomination of former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The CFPB will officially begin its oversight and regulatory work on July 21.
“To ensure Wall Street recklessness can never again bring our economy to the point of collapse, we need an aggressive consumer and taxpayer friendly advocate running the CFPB. Richard Cordray is that advocate. Whether as Ohio’s Attorney General or helping Elizabeth Warren launch the agency he hopes to lead, Cordray has proven throughout his career that he is qualified to be Director.
“My hope is that the Senate promptly confirms Cordray and Republicans halt their efforts to block nominees and gut every critical reform law passed in the prior Congress.
“Cordray will ably carry the mantle of Elizabeth Warren as a passionate defender of the middle class with a true understanding of the challenges working families face.”
TAX ASSISTANCE INFORMATION


Ben Stokes, the England allrounder who is currently under police investigation for his part in a late-night brawl in Bristol last month, has been dropped by his kit manufacturer, New Balance.
The company issued a statement on Wednesday saying his behaviour “does not match our brand culture and values” and that his contract, worth an estimated 200,000 a year, had been terminated. The announcement came shortly after Stokes had tweeted an apology for a separate incident, in which he apparently mocked the disabled son of British celebrity Katie Price, and with his involvement in the Ashes increasingly uncertain.
New Balance provides Stokes with branded equipment, from bats to boots. In a statement, the company said: “New Balance does not condone behaviour by our global athletes that does not match our brand culture and values, and therefore we have ended our relationship with Ben Stokes, effective October 11, 2017. We will not provide further comment.”

US marks more low-key 9/11 anniversary
NEW YORK (AFP) - Americans marked the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks in a somber, but more low key mood as memory of the cataclysm gradually fades.
As every year, relatives of the nearly 3,000 people killed when hijacked airliners slammed into New York's World Trade Center gathered at Ground Zero to read the names of the dead.
This year, though, no politicians were joining in the reading and security was less intense, in contrast to the 10th anniversary last year when President Barack Obama headed a long list of VIPs at the ceremony.
Ms June Pollicino, who lost her husband on 9/11, told AFP: "I feel much more relaxed. After the ninth anniversary, those next days it started building up to the 10th anniversary. This year it's different in that regard. It's another anniversary we can celebrate in a discreet way."

Two battery operated "rain barrel" timers
item skus: 059 & 060
tab is located on uppermost right corner of every page
(in faint grey type)
PRODUCT PAGE SITE DIRECTORY
An extension hose is used to lower a heavy timer/pressure regulator/filter assembly to the ground, taking the stress off the hose bib. High pressure (up to 150 PSI) hoses.
The #700 HOSE SAVER (8" long), shown below, installed between faucet and timer will prevent errant impact from damaging timer or its plastic fitting.
Drip Irrigation Timers
Keep your gardens, landscape and crops regularly and consistently watered with no effort using drip irrigation timers from Water Your Landscape.
These battery-operated irrigation timers turn your watering system on and off at times you designate. With a variety of settings available from the several different models offered, you can select the ideal watering schedule for your plants to ensure the optimum health and production levels from your plants. Drip irrigation timers govern your existing drip irrigation system to deliver the perfect amount of water at designated times, meaning that you never have to worry about missing a watering period. The Zero Pressure timers are also programmed to turn off automatically when it rains, preventing over-watering.
The two models on this page, our best sellers, operate with zero pressure--making them an ideal option for gravity-fed systems, such as irrigation systems supplied from a rainbarrel or water tank. They will also operate under pressure up to 80 psi. The power source for each of these models uses either rechargeable or regular AA batteries and has solar panels to provide continuous power to recharge the batterys with no wires, attachments or maintenance required. To optimize watering, you can choose frequency, start times, and duration, allowing water to sink into the roots without evaporating, maximize the efficiency of your irrigation system and minimizing water waste. All of this makes your drip irrigation system more sustainable and effective.
ZERO PRESSURE RAIN BARREL TIMER
THIS TIMER WILL WORK ON A RAINBARREL IRRIGATION SYSTEM!
--or on any other water source with zero pressure up to 80 psi.
Zero pressure LCD Timer
Similar to the Rainbarrel timer above but with LCD programming instead of dials.
This LCD timer allows you to program on-off duration (in hours, minutes and seconds) and on-off frequency (for any or all days of the week). It has the same solar panel which can be used to recharge 2-AA rechargeable batteries or you can use AA Alkaline batteries. (Regular Alkaline batteries will not be charged by the solar panel). The Rain Sensor automatically shuts down the timer in case of rain. There is a Low power indicator.
LCD Zero Pressure Timer
We highly recommend installing a high-pressure hose extension to prevent errant impacts from damaging your water timer or connections. Drip irrigation timers should also not be exposed to freezing temperatures, and if temperatures are expected to drop below zero, timers should be disconnected and removed. All our timers have standard hose threading unless otherwise indicated.
Enjoy beautiful lawns, trees, gardens and crops without any effort by adding a battery-operated irrigation timer to your system. Act now to place your order, order here or call Water Your Landscape now at 812-212-9674.
WHY BUY A TIMER?
When you're not there to turn the water on, or when you forget to turn it off and run up your water bill.
This timer works with zero pressure:

The hotel was great. Very comfortable and clean. The restaurant staff were very helpful, friendly and paid attention to my likes and dislikes. The meals were well prepared and tasty. Travel to the venue was convenient by taxi and Uber.

Combining reforestation approaches: targeted utilization of native plants and herbicides to battle undesirable vegetation
Authors:Amanda Schoonmaker, Eckehart Marenholtz, Mark Baah-Acheamfour, Stefan SchreiberThe development of a functional forest plant community includes incorporation of vegetation diversity and structure and is accomplished by theinclusion of trees, shrubs and herbaceous species. There continues to be increasing public and regulatory pressure to restore industrially disturbed lands to a forested state; this is evident across Canada and more specifically within Alberta where industrial developments have created many disturbances (of varying size) across the boreal landscape.

It was always going to be a difficult case. An officer fatally shooting a black man at a time when tensions are high. People protested, and riots ensued in Milwaukee. Now here is where it gets even worse: That same officer who shot Sylville Smith has been accused of sexual assault, and the victim claims the assault happened while the pair were watching the protests for Sylville Smith on television.
According to CNN, the victim claims the assault happened in the early morning hours of Aug. 15. Officer Dominique Heaggan-Brown had fatally shot Sylville Smith just two days earlier in what police said was a lethal altercation at a traffic stop. On Aug. 15, Officer Heaggan-Brown had allegedly been drinking heavily at a bar with his accuser watching the Sherman Park protests spurred on by Smith's shooting.
After their night of drinking, the accuser claimed that Heaggan-Brown took him back to his house and allegedly raped him. After the alleged assault, Heaggan-Brown reportedly took the man to the hospital and told a nurse the victim was behaving "weird and unresponsive" back at the bar. Heaggan-Brown also told hospital security workers that the man was "completely out, zonked out of his gourd" from drinking too much.
The victim's memory of leaving the bar was hazy, and he told authorities that he felt he had been drugged. When the victim woke up in the emergency room and saw Officer Heaggan-Brown he told hospital workers that he had been raped. According to authorities, Heaggan-Brown then allegedly texted a mentor of his, Sgt. Joseph Hall, to say that he had "messed up big time" and asked Sgt. Hall for his help.
"Need your help big time," he reportedly wrote. "... But need to handle this the most secret and right way possible."
Authorities investigating the claim found evidence that determined he had allegedly offered two other people money for sex and assaulted another unconscious person in July, reportedly taking pictures of the person he assaulted without their consent. He has been charged with two counts of second-degree assault, as well as three other charges relating to past occurrences. Milwaukee police chief Edward A. Flynn has called the situation "extraordinarily disappointing." In a briefing on Thursday, Flynn went on to say:
It's altogether awful, It's grave and we're treating it as such.
Officer Heaggan-Brown has since been suspended from the police force, and remains in custody on $100,000 bail. If he is convicted on all counts, he could spend up to 80 years in jail. He is 24 years old.

THE South African government has withdrawn charges lodged against Impala Platinum (Implats) on April 17 for alleged contraventions of the National Disaster Management Act, the company said today.
Implats CEO, Nico Muller, recognised the efforts of Mark Munroe, head CEO of Implats’ Rustenburg operations as well as Dr Jon Andrews who is group executive for health, safety and environment at the company, saying focus was on “challenging” months ahead.
“Implats’ view is that despite recent improvements in the coronavirus infection rate, the near-term operating environment will remain challenging and will require continued focus and vigilance in order mitigate ongoing risks posed by the coronavirus,” he said.
Munroe had appeared in the Bafokeng Magistrates Court in a representative capacity on behalf of Implats after allegations the company had contravened lockdown regulations of that time because non-essential staff had been recalled for work.
“All criminal charges in the matter against Impala as represented by Mark Munroe have been withdrawn,” said Implats.
The government was criticised at the time for its heavy-handed approach to implementing hard lockdown measures which saw some mining operations grind to a halt whilst others – such as coal mines and metal processing facilities were allowed to operate at 50% capacity.
In a demonstration of ‘moving on’ from the event, Implats said it supported government’s efforts at controlling Covid-19.
“The critical and supportive role of the South African Police Service (SAPS) in this regard is greatly appreciated and remains invaluable in prioritising lives and livelihoods,” the group said of “… preserving the livelihoods of our employees, contractors and host communities”.

Coc Ly market used to be famous among visitors for over 10 years for its festive atmosphere, colorfu, Hanoi, Vietnam
Travel tips > Asia > Vietnam > Hanoi > Coc Ly market used to be famous among visitors for over 10 years for its festive atmosphere, colorfu
- History & Culture travel tip
- City center
Two years ago, construction of a hydraulic power station started at the same site. Noises, dust, bad road, pollution… which made the market much less interesting to many locals as well as visitors. For such reason, Green Sapa Tour decided to stop operating this interesting trip every Tuesday.
During the period, local government decided to move the market place to another location so that to get away from the power plant. Luckily that, after nearly two years, construction of the new market as well as of the bridge to connect the two banks of the Chay River has completed and now the market has returned. Located on top of a hill, overlooking down Chay River, the market now has much larger ground which can help to accommodate thousands of tribal peoples from villages in the region to come enjoying their time here shopping, drinking and socializing.
Different from the former market place, the large ground near the center of the market helps local farmers form a large cattle market where they can sell and buy water-buffaloes, cows, pigs…
Same as in many other place, a spacious building was built with booths for rent which are often empty, tribal peoples has kept their own way, setting up simple booths, stall and food-shops on the open ground which is always crowded with festive atmosphere.
The minor negative factors is that, the construction works has damages part of the surrounding scenery, hopefully grass, plants will help to recover the beautiful surrounding soon

Interferon enhances the expression of Fc gamma receptors
Murine T2D4 cells derived from a T cell hybrid line were incubated with partially purified or electrophoretically pure mouse interferon and tested for the expression of Fc gamma R as assessed by a) counting the number of cells forming rosettes with IgG-sensitized sheep erythrocytes, and b) incubating the cells with heat-aggregated rabbit IgG and then determining either the number of cells stained with fluorescein conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG or the extent of labeling by using radioactive iodinated staphylococcus protein A. Although interferon induced a rapid increase in Fc gamma R expression on the Fc gamma R-positive T2D4 cells, it did not induce either Fc gamma R on the Fc gamma R negative BW5147 cells or Fc gamma R on either cell line. Human leukocyte interferon enhanced the expression of Fc gamma R on human Burkitt cells (Daudi) but did not affect the expression of Fc gamma R on mouse cells. We suggest that interferon may influence several effector functions of the immune system by modulating Fc receptor expression.

This year, two outgoing seniors, Matt Peters and Ben Zucker, were selected for the Jim Runsdorf Excellence in Public Service Award, a prestigious honor bestowed on students who exemplify civic mindedness and demonstrate singular dedication to public service during their Tulane years.
While Peters’ contributions have unfolded on a more targeted, interpersonal stage through tutoring and coordination of a Tulane public service student group, Zucker’s ambitions have been wide-ranging, as he set his sights on remediating some of the world’s most glaring inequities. Both, however, show an inspired readiness to look beyond their own personal narratives to connect to a larger societal or global one.
Growing from the seeds planted during freshman service as a tutor, Peters became the co-head and later overall chief of Ben Franklin Elementary School’s Science Club, an initiative begun three years ago by the Community Action Council of Tulane University Students (CACTUS).
“At the end of the semester,” Peters reminisces, “one of the kids was just in tears. I had this great epiphany: They’re not only getting excited about science, but I’m also making these great connections ... and they look up to us as role models.”
After graduating, Peters will join the ranks of Teach for America as a middle school science teacher.
Zucker’s public service journey at Tulane began after attending meetings of the Tulane University Peace Action Committee (TUPAC), an organization dedicated to fair working conditions. As an organizer for TUPAC throughout his senior year, Zucker became a staunch advocate for the Sodexo food service workers on campus who sought unionization and improved working conditions.
“I remain engaged with public service because I believe that it is essential for working people and students to organize to build a grassroots movement for change,” says Zucker. “If people have a sense of their own power, we can work together to make enormous strides in our society.”
Zucker says that “groups in the New Orleans and global progressive community look to Tulane as a model for university-community engagement.”

LITTLE ROCK, Ark — Just in time for the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, the Kanis Road expansion from Shackleford to Bowman has finally finished.
It's hard to believe this project has been going on for over two years now. The City of Little Rock first broke ground on the Kanis Road widening project back in October of 2018.
Now, with one of the phases complete business owners, like Gary Duke, are expressing relief.
"It was forever. It just went on and on and on," he said.
Duke is referring to the cones and equipment that surrounded his restaurant for close to two years.
"It was just potholes. It was just a mess. Construction people and trucks and tractors," he said.
But now those trucks and tractors are replaced with more lanes and smooth roads making a "world of a difference," according to Duke.
"We're just thrilled to have it done. They did a really good job," he said.
Duke's restaurant Alley Oops has called Kanis Road home for over 30 years.
He said the expansion was necessary to keep up with the growth.
"It just has expanded like crazy over the years. Just exponentially, it's gone nuts," Duke said.
Michael Hood with Little Rock Public Works described the widening and paving completion from Shackleford to Bowman as a nice early "Christmas present."
"It certainly is good news for all of us here at public works and certainly everybody that drives through that corridor every day," he said.
According to Hood, this widening was phase two of the $13 million project, which was approved by voters back in 2011.
"That's certainly a milestone. That was the biggest part of the job, so far to date, and it was a long time coming and involved a lot of our utility company partners working with us," he said.
Now that the bulk of the work is complete, Hood said the rest of the money is still in motion for the final phase.
"That figure includes a job that's still going on now with a third construction project that takes the improvements from Bowman Road to Gamble Road," he said.
Hood believes that work will be finished towards the end of 2021.
"There's a lot of public interest of doing more in the future, but we'll just have to wait and see if there are additional allocations from the city board to continue those improvements," he said.
According to Hood, there's also a possibility of another contract coming in 2021. They're looking into doing some improvements and widening on Bowman Road heading south.
