There are SO many subscription services out there right now. I think you can find one for anything. I love the idea of monthly subscriptions, but I sometimes find it difficult to find one that matches value with things I actually need or can use. There is a new subscription based service called Growing Roots that offered to send me a box and I was excited to try it out because it is meant for beginning families and sounded like a great fit for a new mom like me.
Disclosure: I received the Ultimate Growing Roots Box from Growing Roots at no cost in exchange for my honest review. I only write about products I love. Affiliate links are included in this post. This means if you make a purchase I will may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Growing Roots sends a curated subscription box of quality crafted products for mom and baby. Each box encourages connection and inspires making memories with family. It supports moms in the early years of parenting by providing inspiration on parenting techniques and common hurdles you might face.
Each box contains:
- 1 research based parenting technique
- 3-5 quality crafted and natural goodies to provide a healthy foundation for you and your child
The founder of Growing Roots is a mom and former high school counselor and teacher with a Masters in counseling so she knows what she is talking about when she puts these boxes together. You can tell that every little detail was carefully thought out down to the packaging. I love the packaging. There are quotes from famous children's stories and the wood grain printing is a beautiful touch.
The box I received is all about sleep and includes products to help me and my family get a good nights sleep. My "sweet dreams" box includes:
- Little Flowers Soap Co. Lavender Bath Salts
- Growing Roots Shop Eye Pillow
- Packet of Lavender Seeds
- Abbie's House Bedtime Chart + Six Magnet Wood Tiles
- Someday by Alison McGhee
- The Going To Bed Book by Sandra Boynton
- Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss (pocket size)
- A few tips about bedtime routine (this is the research based parenting technique)
You can see how much Aiden enjoys the books and I love the bedtime chart! It will be a lot of fun for Aiden to use as he gets older. Check out our unboxing:
I am a big fan of lavender so I love all the relaxing products for mom. The bath salts gave me an excuse to pamper myself with a bath!
As it is the first, this box had a few extra items than the normal subscription comes with; however, I love that this box has products for babies and moms. In my first year as a mom I received a subscription box and looked forward to getting it in the mail each month. The only down side to that particular subscription was that it was more baby focused so there weren't as many products for me (and as a new mom you need things for you). This box has a great mix of products for baby AND mom!
I love that the products are all from small shops. The box came with a pamphlet with details about each product and many of them are from Etsy shops. In addition to supporting small shops, Growing Roots also supports literacy programs. The proceeds from the May box supported OLHSA Early Head Start program in Pontiac, MI, a program designed to help young children and pregnant mothers in low-income households.
Overall this is a great subscription for new moms. It's helpful and a great value. The monthly cost is reasonable considering the number and quality of items you receive. You can pay month-to-month or prepay and save on a three, six, or twelve month subscription. Growing Roots would make an excellent gift for a mom-to-be. I know I would appreciate it!
You can check out Growing Roots and purchase your subscription online here. Growing Roots is offering Baby Castan on Board readers 25% off with the promo code CASTAN25.

Your husband told you if you killed yourself he wouldn't be sad, but relieved. I had to run it back. Why did I know what that felt like, Nina? How could I know you like myself? I called B for the first time in years and told him what your husband said, how it might have been B's own mouth. He avoided the question, and wished me all the best. I wrote an essay about the time I was in the psych ward and never mentioned all the foul little pieces that fell across his lips. He grabbed the telephone from my hands and said my mom was crazy. That I was too when I told him I'd called her in the middle of the night. No one believed I'd spoken to her. I don't want to be misunderstood either, of course. I walked away and he followed me, "You probably charmed the EMTs like you do everyone," like it was a crime, like I had known they were coming and made tea. We were engaged once, me and him. We got divorced, and then moved in together four years later. On the phone he said I was going to have to be in the same room with him sooner or later, and I'd have to manage not to punch him. I don't make promises I can't keep.
Tell me more about freedom, my queen. "No fear"? Who lets me live like that but me? I think about what it means to be an artist who reflects the times. I wish I had language for Lithium's slurry trudge across my brain. I wish I had an entire lexicon for biting my fists into apologies for him. I wish there was a diagnosis for the way I had to stay offline all day because I kept thinking the dead black boy was my brother. My mom told me not to sing when I was a child because I couldn't stay on key. I wish that was my language, but most times I sing in public my voice cracks and thousands of jumping spiders fall out. When I'm alone, and it's July and the windows are open, you know how I feel. It's like emptying the marrow from your own bones, letting them wish you dead, instead of better, instead of free.

Science check call over badger cull
A journal of the British Ecological Society has offered to check the badger culling trials, amid questions about their scientific basis.
The offer could address concerns about the lack of independent oversight of the government-run trials.
The trials are to assess the effectiveness badger culling as a means to control the spread of TB to cattle.
If the government deems its trials a success, badger culling will be used in other parts of England.
The Department for the Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) scrapped the role of an independent expert group last year which had found that the first year of culls had failed.
According to Prof Rosie Woodroffe, of the Zoological Society of London, Defra has given very few details of how it proposes to assess the effectiveness of the culls.
"I suspect they are doing it on the cheap," Prof Woodroffe told BBC News. "That is why there is concern that the answer they get will not be robust".
A Defra spokesperson told BBC News: "The minimum numbers for this year's culls were set using the best available evidence gathered by local experts and the approach was signed-off by Defra's chief scientist.
"We will publish all the data and results of this year's culls once the quality assurance processes have been done and the independent audit has been completed."
Defra referred BBC News to details of how it set out the number of badgers to be culled in the second year of its trials which is on its website.
The government began two pilot badger culls in Gloucestershire and Somerset last year to assess whether enough badgers could be killed to control the spread of TB to cattle. Earlier research had shown that unless 70% of badgers in an area were killed there would be a risk that TB infection in cattle could actually increase because the culling caused an increase in the movement of badgers.
The proportion of badgers culled in each area was assessed using a high-tech method which involving analysing their DNA. The results were then assessed by an independent group of experts. BBC News learned that the expert group found that marksmen failed to kill enough badgers in both areas. It also found that the culls failed to meet the criteria for humanness set by the government, too many badgers took too long to die.
Because of the failure of both trials, the scheme was not rolled out to other parts of England as many of the policy's supporters had hoped. The trials in Somerset and Gloucestershire did continue as Defra ministers vowed to learn lessons and improve its culling methods.
But Defra scrapped independent scientific oversight of the trials in its second year which were completed two weeks ago. It also announced that it would change the method for assessing the proportion of badgers killed . The department and its ministers were consequently accused of "wilfully" ignoring the scientific advice.
Prof Woodroffe is concerned that if the methods that are now being used to assess the effectiveness of the pilot culls are unreliable, Defra might roll out a policy that will increase the spread of TB in cattle in England rather than stem infections.
Highest standard
"Under these circumstances one would have hoped that the government would be adhering to the highest standards of scientific evidence," said Prof Woodroffe. "But by not only rejecting, but fighting two legal cases to defend their right to reject independent scientific oversight does make one wonder why they care so much about not having independent scientific oversight."
Last week in the Commons, the UK's Shadow Farming Minister, Huw Irranca-Davies, joined those calling for an independent review of the methods being used to assess the outcomes of the ongoing pilot badger culls in England.
In response to such calls the British Ecological Society's Journal of Animal Ecology has offered to assess the methods used in this year's trials for Defra for free.
In an open letter, the senior editors of the journal offered to provide a "transparent and independent review of the available evidence using our extensive international network of reviewers, comprising scientists with acknowledged expertise in wildlife population monitoring and management, as well as expert statisticians and modellers".
The editors, Profs Ken Wilson, Jean-Michel Gaillard and Ben Sheldon said that they would personally handle the reviewing process and draw on their team of associate editors and external reviewers.
The department is currently analysing the results of the second year of its culls and is expected to publish its assessment of whether they have failed or succeeded in the next few weeks.

Today brought a day of little productivity once the afternoon hit. I came home, feeling slightly under the weather and tried to nap it off. Ever done that? Sometimes and it works, and like today, sometimes it does not work. Well, I woke up and new the hubby would be home from work and I needed to whip up something quickly. I had those recipes that I planned from Budget Bytes - although they were all pretty easy, I decided to go with pasta. I just made noodles yesterday with chicken so I did not want a repeat of Asian or chicken, plus the recipe seemed pretty easy enough and it was.
The recipe was quick, simple and yummy. The hubby went back for seconds- so that should give some credit to the tastiness of the dish. And though Ninja stalked the kitchen patiently- nothing was dropped but I did let him have some of his homemade puppy frozen yogurt. Ninja did not have a dog park day, as we suspect he pulled a muscle- he is limping a tad and so need a few days off his feet (with minimal walking). Lets see his cute sleep self and move on to food shall we?
Adapted slightly from Budget Bytes
9 oz (1/2 box) of mini bow tie pasta
2 tbsp. olive oil
3 tbsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
Italian Sausage (5 links)
1 pound frozen broccoli florets (thawed)
1/2 c. shredded pepper jack cheese
1/2 c. smoked gouda
Cook bow tie pasta according to packaged instructions (7-10 minutes or unitl tender). On medium-high heat, heat olive oil and then sautee garlic and crushed red pepeers. Add italian sausage (squeezing them out of the casing and them separating with spoon). Cook completely. Once cooked- add broccoli florets and sautee for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and add in cheese. Toss with a little bit of olive oil and garnish wiht a few crushed red pepper flakes.

Are you really?
Your gone, you left me today, jumped on a ship and waved goodbye.
But for some reason, I feel you everywhere.
As if you are in my presents, where the shadows lie.
So, let me speak, if I may dare.
Is that you in the computer, you know the one that says "goodbye" as my
internet connection dies?
In my head, I believe it is you, you love to hear my sigh, as my patience
Could it be you, when my favorite cd seems to skip more than normal?
Since you hate me listening to that music, it wouldn't be in the player if you
where here like usual.
How about that erie sound that comes from my dishwasher when I wash late at
Boy, you could never go to sleep when you heard it on.
Or, that weird smell coming from just out of my sight?
Is it you, making that weird sound in the other room when I'm on the phone?
Or at night, when I lay my head down on my pillow and cuddle to yours as tight
as I can...
Is it your breath that I feel on my face?
Please tell me it is, I don't want to believe it is just the fan.
Tell me it's you, unable to be away from me, whatever the case.

I definitely recommend Trinity Beach as a destination and hope we can make a return trip !
CASTAWAYS – Patterson-Kane Family
While the photos are great, they don't do this house justice. It was fantastic! It felt luxuriously appointed and at the same time very family friendly - leather couches, tiles, low-maintenance garden, etc. The kitchen, master bedroom, ensuite and outdoor gazebo were particularly lovely spaces.

An excellent stay.

Beautiful home in a fabulous location. The gardens in the surrounding streets are amazing and so well kept. The backyard of this property was also very lovely with both dining and lounge outdoor spaces, both paved and with fans. The pool was very clean and half shaded by the afternoon. The interior was lovely and clean, beds were comfy and clean. We would recommend this house to stay in. In terms of location it was perfect. Although it's not on the beach it was only 6 min walk to the beach. Close enough for convenience but far enough away to be quiet. Palm Cove is very calm and sophisticated. Very relaxing holiday !!
CASTAWAYS – Warry Family
I stayed in the property over the long weekend, it's a modern, beautiful and spacious house with everything that you need for an enjoyable stay. Check in and out was a breeze, with the keys being collected from a different location not far from the property. The house was very clean. Bedrooms are spacious, all with air conditioners and fans, bathrooms are luxurious, and kitchen is perfect, fully equipped with all that you need. The outdoor living area of the house was probably the highlight ....... Two undercover areas to relax in with neighbours only on one side, with a grassed and treed area at the back, was peaceful and enjoyable. Overall a great home, that would suit a large family or multiple couples, looking for a luxurious getaway.

The location was fantastic. We were lulled to sleep with the sound of the waves. We all enjoyed the walks along the front beach and nature strip, yoga classes and meals at the Day Spa 600m away. Loved sitting around the pool and barbeque meals. Near to our Cairns family, shops, other attractions too. LOVED IT, didn't want to leave

In as we speak's upwardly cell society, a query as regard family legislation that is ceaselessly raised addresses the problems of child custody and baby assist. The court docket forms for marriage dissolution (divorce) only offer you 1 choice – one spouse will get a hundred% of the home, cabin, or other actual property, and the opposite partner gets a lien But, you'll be able to change the court docket varieties. Lawyers usually see trouble areas that you just will not recognize at first and push divorce proceedings along extra effectively. To come out of your divorce in a very good place you will have to observe a couple of easy divorce survival ideas. Likewise, a petitioner can withdraw the divorce petition at any time before the choose enters a closing decree.
He's completely satisfied to have a divorce file unsealed, as soon as he knows it would comprise nothing of substance, when it will not reveal that he truly is a creep, a lowlife, and a cheater. Failure to offer this information can lead to the court dismissing the case or not contemplating that celebration's requests. Id. Plaintiff appealed to the Arizona Supreme Court who upheld the lower courts' decisions.
In a divorce proceeding the place one spouse will not be current (an ex parte proceeding), the divorce is given full recognition if the spouse acquired proper discover and the original divorce discussion board was the bona fide domicile of the divorcing spouse. Respondent urged the Court to carry that an enchantment from any expired order of protection, apart from one entered upon stipulation, will not be moot. It's hard to imagine that it has been virtually 15 years since I first appeared in entrance of Family Court Judge Steven Jones with my ex-spouse being represented by attorney Rhonda Mushkin.
That said, requirements for state issued IDs can be completely different based mostly on where you live, so verify along with your native division of motor autos to find out precisely what you will have to point out to get your picture identification to point out the notary public on your divorce papers. A family law legal professional can not let you know what to do or provide you with recommendation about your relationship.

CSC Screeding Ltd are proud to announce our excellent record of screeding school projects throughout the UK and confirm over 60 sucessful installations in the last two years. Our business model has a proven ability to engage in floor screeding systems that are fit for purpose and our undivided attention to detail has reassured our clients that CSC Screeding Ltd are leaders in this field.
We like to be engaged at an early stage, in order to consider the specification and provide our added value service in order to ensure all design considerations have been made. Our excellent record has been reinforced with the FlexiDry fast drying screed additive which has a greatly reduced shrinkage rate over standard fibrescreed. This is a great benefit over alternative solutions and with the mixed economy of scale we can vary the dry time with the three options of 7, 14 and 21 days, using the same product but adjusting dosage and giving huge logistical advantages too. We constantly beta test the dry time and demonstrate to our clients why this should be the number one screed additive within the UK market.
CSC Screeding Ltd and FlexiDry have proven to be particularly sucessful on school projects where the screed interfaces with the underfloor heating. The screed can be installed at a thinner section due to better consolidation giving faster reaction to temperature control and sustainability issues can be claimed around this topic. The additional bonus of low shrinkage has given benefit to larger bay sizes and more confidence towards zero random cracking. The FlexiDry Floor Screeding System is going to revolutionise the Floor Screeding Industry and we look forward to the challenge.

Scene/sequel is only one of many ways to categorize different parts of a book, but it's what I'm writing about today. Last week we looked at scenes. This week we're completing the duo with sequels.
As I mentioned last week, Sherry Lewis, the writer, not the Sherry Lewis, the puppeteer and Lamb Chop's mother. explained to me the difference between a scene and a sequel.
Here's Sherry's definition of a sequel: A sequel is a unit of transition that bridges one scene to another, but transition bridges are not always sequels. Sometimes a transition may simply indicated a passage of time. Sometimes a character may end a scene recognizing that he/she needs to make a decision but outside events intervene; the character is too stunned to do more than walk away; or the character's pro/con reflections might lead him/her to want to gather more information.
What makes a sequel, a sequel is that it is also a dilemma that the character confronts. Sequels are unified by topic. Dilemma involves weighing pros and cons of each possible action and making a choice between two or more equally unsatisfactory choices. Each choice leads to a different goal. Each goal leads the story in a different direction.
Reaction, dilemma, and decision govern sequels. In a sequel, the character is preoccupied with one set of feelings. A sequel translates the disaster into goal, telescopes reality, and controls the tempo of our book. It exists to reveal our character's reaction(s) to the previous scene and provide her with motivation as she moves into the next scene. Only when the character reaches a decision about which path to follow can the story logically proceed to the next scene.
To recap, every scene ends with a character going back to the drawing board. Laura is in Las Vegas, looking for her mother. A dicy casino character says, for a hefty fee, he will bring her mother to her. Laura has to reassess how important finding her mother really is. Does she trust this character? Is she willing to literally mortgage the family farm to get the money? Is it just possible that her mother had a logical, sensible reason, which is none of Laura's business, for coming to Las Vegas? Each set of answers will lead Laura and the story in a different direction.
Novels do not bump along scene—sequel—scene—sequel—etc.
Let's look at our Las Vegas cop, Wally.
- Scene 1: Wally arrives at the scene of a double murder, gathers information, and is told there is an eye witness, who has been taken to hospital to be treated for shock. At this point Wally is not in a dilemma. His next step is clear: interview this witness.
- Scene 2: Wally goes to the hospital and meets Laura. He expects her to come with him to the police station and give a statement. She says absolutely not. She has something else to do, but won't tell him what. He leaves the emergency room cubicle so Laura can get dressed, and she sneaks out of the hospital. The hospital is searched, but no Laura.
Wally's Dilemma:
- Does he go in search of her? If so, where does he start?
- Does he issue a be on the lookout bulletin, and return to the murder scene?
- Does the writer want to leave the Laura is missing angle hanging, and take Wally into a third scene in order to establish a sub-plot?
Here's the key sequel question: is this the right place in the story for a character to confront a dilemma?
One scene may generate multiple sequels, especially if the story is being told from different points of view. While there may easily be several scenes in a row, it's unusual to have several sequels in a row, but there may be multiple sequels from different POV spread throughout the book.
Sequels vary in length. Some may be very short: the scene ends with a man with a gun invading the protagonist's house. The sequel is that she picks an escape route and uses it. Or they may be very long. The scene ends with a man learning that he is a prince of the demonic realm. The sequel? He's going to want to think long and hard about this.
The details we need to know in order to write a sequel are somewhat the same as for a scene, namely season, weather, moon phase; character clothing; way characters move; physical props; and other sensual details that ground the characters in the setting, create texture, or evoke mood.
Avoid Death in the Coffee Shop (or at the kitchen table)
In scenes, physical action helps carry the story. Characters may be, literally, running for their lives or having an argument or trying to download the thumb drive before the security guard makes his rounds again. The problem with sequels is that they are more cerebral. Characters are weighing pros and cons and making a decision.
There is an overwhelming temptation to take them to the nearest coffee shop, or kitchen table, gym workout, or for a long drive where nothing physical happens. Resist those temptations.
Laura is now on the run in Las Vegas. Her rental car is still at the murder site, and her luggage is in the trunk. Does she dare use her credit cards or go to an ATM machine? Can she afford to rent another car? She told the police the hotel where she had a reservation. Does she dare go there? Where is she going to sleep tonight? Where is she going to get her next meal? All of these questions can be used to build tension while Laura decides, am I going to the police station or not?
We're reaching that hard part, actually writing the novel, so I hope you'll be back on Tuesday, June 3, for Establishing the skeleton or Draft Zero, the unfinished manuscript.
On Thursday, May 29, Level Thinking will be taking a look at book extras. A book isn't just written words any more. Want additional readers? Go for value added.

My research interests lie in the area of mathematical biology and in particular the application of principles from nonlinear dynamics and statistical physics to the study of neural systems. Neural field theories: Experimental studies have revealed the propagation of travelling bursts of activity in cortical and thalamic brain slices. Experiments in primates have also revealed that prefrontal cortical networks can support spatially localized areas of high activity, thought to be important for the functioning of working memory. Such waves and bumps of firing rate activity are a consequence of non-local synaptic interactions and the intrinsic behavior of local neuronal circuitry. The mathematical description of synaptically coupled neural tissue typically involves the use of integral equations. Apart from a spatial integral mixing the network connectivity function with space-dependent delays, arising from non-instantaneous axonal communication, these integral models can also include a temporal integration over some appropriately identified distributed delay kernel. These distributed delay kernels are biologically motivated and represent the response of biological synapses to spiking inputs. I am interested in using techniques from dynamical systems theory to study waves and patterns in such integral neural field models. Moreover, network studies that include a description of the slow T-type calcium current are known to support non-smooth waves of a type that can lurch through a medium. This work is highly relevant to modelling thalamic tissue and ralates to the emergence of EEG sleep rhythms in thalamo-cortical networks. Dendritic trees with active spines: Dendritic spines form the dominant component of many types of dendritic trees. They are small mushroom like appendages and may be found in their hundreds of thousands on the dendritic tree of a single cortical pyramidal cell. These extensions of the dendritic tree provide junction points for the axons of other neurons, and thus serve as loci for receiving inputs. Direct observations confirm earlier speculations that spine heads possess excitable channels capable of generating action potentials (spikes). Together with Dr Gabriel Lord (Maths, Heriot-Watt) I am developing a minimal model of a branched dendrite with active spines that may be used to i) explore issues of wave propagation and nonlinear signal processing in dendrites, ii) investigate biophysical learning rules for spike-time-dependent plasticity at the level of spines. Neurobiology of sensory gating (with Rob Mason, Electrophysiology Laboratory): Gating of sensory (e.g. auditory) information has been demonstrated as a reduction in the auditory-evoked potential responses recorded in the brain of both normal animals and human subjects. Auditory gating is perturbed in schizophrenic patients and pharmacologically by drugs such as amphetamine, PCP or ketamine, which precipitate schizophrenic-like symptoms in normal subjects. The neurobiological basis underlying this sensory gating is being investigated using i) multiple microelectrode array recordings, and ii) by developing mathematical (spiking network) models of the known underlying hippocampal circuitry. Dynamics of Calcium release and wave propagation in single cells: The existence of spatial and temporal signalling by calcium is one of the most significant findings of the last decade in the field of intracellular signalling. Calcium is stored intracellularly in the endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum at 2-3 orders of magnitude greater than its concentration in the cytosol and is released by a nonlinear feedback process referred to as calcium-induced calcium release (CICR). This mechanism for generating oscillations (or puffs) in the density of cytosolic free calcium is believed to underly the waves that propagate as intra and intercellular waves over distance as large as 1mm. I am interested in both the numerical solution of biophysical models (such as the de-Young/Keizer model) using techniques from dynamical systems theory and the exact solution of fire-diffues-fire (FDF) type models. The analysis of wave initiation and propagation in models with spatial inhomogeneities and nonlinear transport mechanisms is relevant to the understanding of recent experimental work by Martin Bootman and colleagues.
EEG & functional MRI studies of brain microstates associated with anaesthesia-induced loss of consciousness (with Dorothee Auer, Academic Radiology) Anaesthesia-induced loss of consciousness (LOC) is a particularly revealing model for the study of electrical phenomena that differ between the conscious and unconscious brain. The objective of our work is to characterise spatio-temporal patterns of coherent and incoherent brain activation in altered levels of consciousness in humans using a combined fMRI and EEG approach. In parallel with this experimental work, defining specific regional brain activity and synchronisation levels between the brainstem, hypothalamus, thalamus and the neocortex as well as cortico-cortical interactions, we are developing coarse-grained neural field models of thalamo-cortical loops that will help us unravel the different modes of neural dynamics underlying consciousness, sedation and LOC.

Cannabis Commission
Cannabis is by far the most widely used illegal drug, (accounting for 80% of all illegal drug users), yet it is rarely mentioned in international drug policy discussions. This is why the Beckley Foundation commissioned a team of the world's leading drug policy analysts to prepare an overview of the latest scientific evidence surrounding cannabis and the policies that control its use. The Report provides a blueprint of possible alternatives in the development of evidence-based policy regarding cannabis. A summary of the Reports conclusions and recommendations can be found here and the extended summary here.
Why did The Beckley Foundation Convene This Report?
The global increase in the prevalence of cannabis use.
The fundamental changes in the global situation since cannabis came under the control of the international narcotics treaties in 1961.
The lack of interest towards cannabis in international drug policy discussions.
To analyse the latest scientific evidence on the potential harms of cannabis use.
To investigate the social harms caused by cannabis prohibition.
The escalating harms of the 'War on Drugs', of which cannabis is the mainstay.
The need for a more rational, effective approach to cannabis control.
Recognition that different policies whether draconian or liberal have little effect on the prevalence of drug use
The identification and analysis of different possible routes forward from depenalisation, to decriminalization to partial legality and finally to a regulated legal market.
To identify different ways in which individual countries can seek to reform cannabis policies in order to better suite their individual needs. These include individual countries denouncing the international conventions and re-acceding with a reservation on cannabis, or for a group of like-minded countries to negotiate and adopt a new international convention specifically concerning cannabis.
Robin Room – Peter Reuter – Wayne Hall -Benedikt Fischer – Simon Lenton
Cannabis Use:
Cannabis is the most widely used illegal drug, making it the mainstay of the 'War on Drugs'. The UN has estimated that cannabis is used by 4% of the global adult population. The number of users has risen by 10% since their last estimate in 2005, despite the call for a drug free world. This compares to a figure of 1% for the use of all other illegal drugs combined. However, the focus of international attention has concentrated on that 1% which causes the most harms leading to cannabis being largely ignored in international drug policy discussions.
Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former President of Brazil.
The Changing World:
The situation has however, been fundamentally transformed over the last half-century since its prohibition, due to cannabis having become firmly established as part of the youth culture, particularly in developed countries. Large illicit markets have emerged to supply the demand. The strenuous efforts to enforce prohibition through policing and quasi-military operations against illicit growing and sale have failed. Meanwhile, the efforts in themselves create substantial anguish and social harms. In the United States, for example, approximately three-quarters of a million citizens are arrested every year for cannabis possession, and in certain producer/transit countries, such as Mexico, the War on Drugs, of which Cannabis is a component, has led to a virtual state of war near the US border.
International Conventions:
In 1998 the international community agreed to a 10-year programme of activity on the control of illegal drug use and markets at a United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) in New York. It was characterised by the slogan: "a drug free world, we can do it". A commitment was made to review the programs progress in 2008/9. Clearly, the international community will not be able to report unequivocal success, as drugs are purer, cheaper, and more widely available than ever before. The laws themselves are often enforced arbitrarily, leading to discrimination against minorities – and nowhere is this more evident than with Cannabis. There is increasing disagreement between governments on the appropriate policies to adopt. It is therefore essential that the process of review in 2009 be as transparent as possible, and that the experts from the relevant fields have the maximum opportunity to engage with the government officials and politicians who will ultimately decide on the future directions of drug policy.
The UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs has set up a 'Ministerial Segment' meeting for March 2009 to discuss the conclusions drawn from the review of the last 10 years of international drug control. The Beckley Foundation, an ECOSOC accredited NGO, will be presenting the Global Cannabis Commission Report and its findings in the margins of that meeting.
Ways Forward:
Almost fifty years after the adoption of an unequivocal international prohibition on cannabis in the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, we face a very different world. The set of international rules and norms which were adopted then have not proven effective in the modern world, and they have adverse consequences for those who get caught up in their provisions.
Jan Wiarda, former chairman, European Police Chiefs.
In effect, the Conventions restrict the signatory countries' ability to adopt new cannabis policies and laws based on the evidence currently available. Furthermore, they restrict the accumulation of new evidence to inform the development of new systems of control which may be more appropriate to the modern world. There is a clear need for change, and yet the international drug control system seems increasingly paralyzed and immobile. There is no doubt that moving forward will be difficult, but it is not impossible. In this Report, the aim has been to draw on the available evidence to offer some possible paths forward to a more realistic and effective global regime for cannabis control.
The Global Cannabis Commission Report is now published as a book in association with Oxford University Press entitled: 'Cannabis Policy: Moving Beyond Stalemate'. To find out more about the book click on the cover above

Commuting to Campus
The Division of Student Affairs seeks to provide services and programs for commuter students to assure that commuter students are active members within the campus community. There are a few things that every commuter student needs to know.
Policy for Commuter Students
The on campus living experience is vital to the growth and development of the whole student All students who have completed less than four semesters of college/university are required to reside in on-campus housing for their first two years on campus. An exception to this is students may live with parent(s) and/or legal guardians in the greater Pittsburgh area (within 30 miles of campus.) Students choosing to live at home may register as a commuter and provide documentation to the Office of Residence Life & Student Activities - Student Affairs. Students found in violation will face disciplinary review and fines up to the cost of housing. Gateway students may request an exception to the residency requirement by contacting the Office of Residence Life & Student Activities - Student Affairs.
Commuter Parking
Students who intend to commute to campus with a car need to know the options for parking. Questions about parking permits and public transportation to Chatham University can be answered at the Public Safety website.
Users wishing to purchase semester locker privileges may do so on a first-come, first-served basis. The cost is $40 per semester for a full locker and $20 per semester for a small locker. The user will be issued a lock from the Director of the AFC. Personal locks may not be used for semester pass. Students, Faculty and Staff may use the designated day lockers at no cost. Locks may not be left on designated day lockers overnight. All lockers must be cleaned and locks turned in to AFC Director at the conclusion of the academic year. Any remaining items will be discarded.
Contact: Dr. Ron Giles @ 412-365-1269 or email@example.com.
CARRIAGE HOUSE, FALK HALL, and WOODLAND HALL
Lockers are located in the Carriage House, Falk Student Lounge, and in Woodland Hall, by Student Affairs and the Help Desk; these are designated for commuter students to lighten the load of items they need to carry back and forth to campus. These lockers are free of charge on a first-come, first-serve and term-to-term basis. All students must supply their own lock and will be designated a specific locker to use for the remainder of the term. We do request that at the end of each term, all personal items (including the lock) be removed from the locker. Any remaining items will be discarded.
If you are a commuter student and would like to use a locker, please contact the Office of Student Affairs at 412-365-1286 or email@example.com.

HD DVD player may not stay as low as $200posted by Eric C. in Uncategorized |
It looks as though the $200 price for the Toshiba HD-A2 may just be because Toshiba was blowing out the old model before coming out with the HD-A3. BestBuy is going to be giving customers that ordered the HD-A2 on backorder an HD-A3 instead because "Unfortunately, the manufacturer has discontinued this item and we are not anticipating receiving any more inventory," according to DailyTech. So the HD-A2 isn't going to be around anymore, so what's the price for the HD-A3 you ask? Well, all over the place between $200 and $300. The MSRP is supposed to be $300 and most retail stores seem to be selling them at that price. But those that are out of HD-A2′s, like BestBuy and Sears, have the HD-A3′s "on sale" right now for $199.99 and Amazon has them for $249.99 but those prices may go up after the HD-A2 supplies dry up. It's hard to say what pricing is going to do but I'd say if you want an HD DVD player, it seems now's the time to buy. It doesn't seem to matter much either way, if you get a HD-A2 or HD-A3, as they seem to have pretty much the same features. Some of the guys that commented over at DailyTech (linked above) are saying that the HD-A2 may actually be slightly better as it allows downsampling of all audio to 1.5Mbps DTS optical out, where as the HD-A3 only does 640kbps DD optical out. So it depends on your receiver (or lack there of) as to which one would be better of if it doesn't matter.
By the way, the best price I've found so far is TigerDirect has the HD-A2 for $139.99

Why does my FTP fail to connect?
Posted by Pacific Host on 05 December 2011 06:02 AM
If your FTP progam is not connecting properly, here are some possible reasons:
Step 1: Your firewall could be blocking it.
Step 2: Make sure you have the IP address in your welcome email for host name (only the numbers don't add ftp, www or anything else).
Step 3: Make sure your username and password are the same as your control panel username and password.
Step 4: Some FTP programs require a path in order to connect. Your path would be /home/YOURUSERNAME/public_html

For 13 years, fans of Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou have been yearning for the simple pair of white kicks with blue lines and yellow laces. That's over a decade of Zissou-inspired Halloween costumes that lacked a critical element.
Well, my friends, you may never have to experience that humiliation again.
Grab your little red beanies and gather your shark-hunting gear, because Nylon reports those Zissou Rom kicks are finally here.
Made famous by Bill Murray's character, the sneakers became so coveted that people created petitions to get the company on board with production. Unfortunately, those signatures seemed to do little to help, with Nylon noting that back in 2005, an Adidas spokesman said he'd be "surprised" if the shoes were ever manufactured for the public.
But like a ray of light reflecting off the ocean into a tiny submarine, Adidas gave fans hope at the We Love Green music festival in Paris when it released 100 pairs of the limited-edition footwear. As Nylon notes, each shoe is even emblazoned with the word "Zissou." The shoes are also listed on Wes-Anderson.com for £199, but by the looks of things, they may already be sold out. Don't worry, we're sure you can pay quadruple the cost on eBay if you really need to have them.
Of course, The Life Aquatic isn't the only Anderson classic people try to emulate. From a couple's wedding inspired by Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel, to these miniature recreations of scenes and sets from The Darjeeling Limited and The Royal Tenenbaums, it seems Anderson's aesthetic resonates with fans all over the world.

Netherlands Antilles Olympic Committee
The Netherlands Antilles Olympic Committee, (Dutch: Nederlands Antilliaans Olympisch Comité; Papiamento: Comité Olímpico di Antia Hulandes) generally abbreviated NAOC was a member of the IOC from 1950 to 2011. It constituted the National Olympic Committee of the dissolved country Netherlands Antilles which consisted of the islands Aruba (until 1986), Curaçao, Sint Maarten (countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands), Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba (part of the Netherlands proper). The organization is a federation of 31 sports federations. So far only FINA, FIFA and CONCACAF recognize Curaçao as successor of Netherlands Antilles [1]
NAOC logo

After dissolution of the Netherlands AntillesEdit
The committee planned to keep its function and name after the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles as a regional indication of the five islands as it would be impossible for Curaçao or Sint Maarten to form their own recognized National Olympic Committee.[2] On 13 January 2011, the IOC however indicated that no legal basis existed for membership of the IOC and confirmed that none of the individual islands could apply for membership following a 1995 decision that future membership is only open to sovereign countries. The executive board of the IOC proposed the withdrawal of the membership at the IOC session of July 2011 and took steps to allow athletes to compete at the 2011 Pan American Games (under the PASO flag) as well as the 2012 Olympic Games under the Olympic flag as Independent Olympic Athletes.[3][4] After 2012, Netherlands Antilles athletes can choose to represent either the Netherlands or Aruba.[5][6]

Medical Malpractice Lawyers in West Hartford
Medical malpractice is a term generally used to describe actions against a variety of health care professionals. The liability that attaches is in essence negligence liability; in order for plaintiff to prevail, he or she must prove each of the traditional elements of negligence. Accordingly, the plaintiff in a legal malpractice action must establish that defendant's conduct constituted a breach of a legal duty that was the cause in fact and the proximate cause of actual damages to the plaintiff. Each of these elements are as follows:
- Duty – As in traditional negligence analysis, the imposition of a legal duty in medical malpractice actions stems from the formation of the physician/patient relationship. Under the substantive law, the formation of that relationship and the affirmative undertakings that arise therefrom impose a duty upon the physician to meet the applicable standard of care. Conversely, the absence of this relationship often means no duty of care is owed. Out attorneys seek to discover and establish the facts necessary to prove the formation of a physician/patient relationship and the undertaking of affirmative duties by the physician.
- Breach of Duty – A physician must exercise that degree of skill usual in the profession and exercised in the place in which the physician practices. The general test is somewhat varied in the case of medical specialists, to take into account that higher degree of learning and skill typically possessed by specialists. At the same time, it is clear that a bad result alone only rarely results in liability, since poor results in medical science can and do result where there is no failure to exercise due care.Much of our discovery deals with the nature of the physician's undertaking at various stages in the physician/patient relationship. We investigate the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care, most of which are designed to elicit facts relating to whether the physician acted with due care. In addition, we typically require identification of documents and witnesses relating to the fundamental issues of whether the physician's conduct comported with the applicable standard of care.
- Cause in Fact – The defendant's negligence must be a substantial factor and material element in bringing about the plaintiff's harm. This element is crucial in medical malpractice cases; the plaintiff cannot prevail if his or her medical condition and symptoms would have occurred even without the defendant's negligence. Accordingly, we investigate any person, event or condition that plaintiff alleges to have contributed to plaintiff's symptoms or medical condition. In addition, discovery deals with the contention that plaintiff's medical situation was inevitable, the result of disease progression, or due to any other cause beyond the control of the physician.
- Proximate Cause – The defendant's liability can be reduced or cut off entirely if additional forces combined with defendant's negligence to cause plaintiff's injury or medical condition. This frequently occurs in disease progression cases where plaintiff's preexisting condition can precipitate additional medical complications independent from or in concurrence with defendant's negligence. In addition, proximate cause issues can arise when defendant's negligence results in a harm that is unforeseeable in nature or scope.
- Damages – As with other negligence cases, traditional damage analysis divides recoverable compensatory damages into: 1) special damages, which may be calculated with some precision and which ordinarily represent past or future out-of-pocket losses; and 2) general damages, which are ordinarily awarded for intangible losses such as pain, suffering, and humiliation. The nature and extent of general damages is hotly contested in medical malpractice cases which may include claims for loss of life expectancy and loss of enjoyment of life. We will identify defendant's contentions regarding general and special damages and ascertain the known facts regarding the measure of these losses.

Fun Fact: In the Japanese culture, they hold a tea ceremony, also called "The Way of Tea", where they celebrate Matcha.
Green is believed to be the truest color of health. Chlorophyll is what gives Matcha its famous vibrant, green color. It is also a powerful antioxidant which helps our bodies to eliminate chemicals and heavy metals.
Matcha Green tea is a powdered tea that utilizes the whole tea plant. It contains compounds called catechins which in turn aid weight loss and increase metabolism, helping burn fat 4 times faster! One cup of Matcha a day works as a great "pick me up" during the day by promoting concentration and clarity of mind. Even buddhist monks have a cup to keep them awake during their meditation. Matcha tea can also help with lowering cholesterol,improving your immune system, anti- aging and an energy boost. It is packed with antioxidants and rich in potassium, vitamin A and C.
I think it's safe to say Matcha holds the key to a long, happy and healthy life. 💚

Hunter Mahan has a thing for Canada. The winner of the WGC-Accenture Match Play has developed a team of Canucks which have been behind his drive into the top 10 of the Official World Golf Ranking.
Mahan is taught by Sean Foley, represented by Chris Armstrong, has physio work done by Dr. Craig Davies and Jim Murphy is his sports psychology therapist. All of them are from Canada, which dawned on Mahan in response to a question about Murphy on Tuesday at Doral.
"No, he's Vancouver. Canada. Canadian. I like Canadians for some reason, I don't know why. Surrounded by them," Mahan said, drawing laughter.
Murphy has been instrumental in helping Mahan move past the ups and downs of a round of golf.
"It's like what I feel like I should have gotten a good break or got a good bounce or that putt should have lipped in or something like that. It not that way; golf is not out to get me. I don't have bad luck. You know, it just is what it is," Mahan said.
Having a hot putter helps ease the mind, as well. Switching to a Ping Nome prototype for the Match Play, Mahan wields the flat stick with confidence.
"I just got some confidence with it, and you know, feel good with it now," he said.

In a couple weeks, Gabrielle Union will marry her longtime love, Dwyane Wade in their homecity of Miami. The couple have been planning their nuptial since last December when he popped the question with an 8.5 carat cushion cut engagement ring.
As many brides do, the actress is making sure she looks her best in her dress with a very interesting diet. With the help of vegan chef Jamila Crawford of Earth Candy Arts, the 41-year-old has gone "flexitarian". Five days a week she eats a vegan diet –composed of quinoa, kale, fruits, etc– and on the weekend she treats herself with meat.
As reported by Essence:
Union says of her new diet, "I'm from Omaha. I eat meat. Right now, while I'm filming in Atlanta, I'm experimenting with a vegan diet just to see what all the hoopla is about."
After trying Jamila Crawford's whole food vegan noms, she called the office saying "I really thought we were doing vegan. I don't know what the hell this is but it tastes like meat. If this is what being a vegan is, I can roll."
Since wrapping up the second season on "Being Mary Jane" three weeks ago, Union has kept her lifestyle healthy, even posting a photo of her workout sessions with Wade.

[Note: This is a sample review I wrote for Game Podunk, so if you think the formatting's different from usual (or like my old review style!), now you know.]
Developer: Game Freak
Publisher: Nintendo
Platform: Nintendo DS
Release Date: October 7, 2012 (US)
Pokemon Black Version 2 reviewed
For being the first Pokemon game to be a direct sequel, Pokemon Black 2 has a lot going for it. Black and White ended up being a breath of fresh air for the series, with some interface upgrades and removing earlier Pokemon from being caught until after the main story is beat. However, it did all that while still having that familiar Pokemon feel, with its mostly unchanged graphics and age old formula of 'collect eight badges, traverse Victory Road, defeat the Champion, The End'.
So, how does Black 2 stand up to its predecessor? Will it rise to the top of the bunch, or fail and fall to the bottom of the mountain of Pokemon games?
Black 2's story begins like any other: You're an aspiring young trainer, about to set off on a journey away from home with your Pokemon to topple the Pokemon League and become the Champion… and maybe even save the world along the way. You're quickly introduced to your spikey haired rival, who might have had a little too much sugar and holds a fire-y hate for Black/White's Team Plasma. As Bianca, now Professor Juniper's assistant, and Cheren, the first Gym Leader, show up you'll learn a bit about what happened in the two year period between Black/White and its successor, but it's nothing much that will deter those that haven't played the first from playing the second.
In fact, it may be for that reason that the story of Black 2 seems a little disconnected from the original. There are plenty of cameos to be had, and without playing the first you might be confused about the 'heroes' and legendary Dragon Pokemon, but for the most part there isn't anything story wise that may confuse those that haven't finished Black/White's story. It's a little disappointing, since Black/White's was honestly a huge step up for the series.
However, while Black 2 fails in the story, it succeeds in other aspects. Black 2 re-introduces earlier Pokemon into the wild, so you can catch your Growlithes and Marills on top of Unova's offerings. While Black/White's approach of 'Unova Pokemon only' was a great idea, it would be hard to pull off again, and seeing familiar Pokemon in the wild was welcome. The addition of Trainer animations is also nice, and more little upgrades make the Pokemon experience slightly more hassle-free ("Your Repel wore off! Would you like to use another?")
Perhaps where Black 2 shines best is in all the extra stuff you can do. Musicals from the previous entry are back, as well as PokeStar Studios, essentially a scripted Pokemon battle which you do (and can alter) to create movies. It's really a lot of fun and a nice distraction from the story. In addition, there is the Battle Subway (basically the Battle Tower) and the Pokemon World Tournament for your non-story battling needs. After you beat the main story, you can even download extra PWT matches, including bouts with previous generation Champions and Gym Leaders to keep things interesting. Finally, there's Join Avenue, a place where you can have people you meet and NPCs build shops from anything like raffles to Pokemon training to item shops. The sheer amount of extras to play through, in addition to the usual 'catch 'em all' mentality will keep most fans busy until the next Pokemon entry.
Let me take a moment to admire the music in Black 2. There are tracks new and old in this sequel, and they all sound great. Black/White had a pretty good soundtrack in my opinion, and Black 2 does just as well… and maybe even sets the standard a little higher. There are some tracks that are directly from Black/White (namely town themes), some remixed tracks, and even some new songs added in, and they all sound great. Make sure to play this one with the headphones on, especially if you're going off to battle Team Plasma!
So, what's the verdict? Well, Black 2 is a Pokemon game, for better or for worse. There's not much in the way of moving forward in the series aside small upgrades, and does nothing in shaking up the tried and true Pokemon formula. To the hordes of Pokemon fans, however, this entry is still a great continuation to a great series, and while there might be a few missteps, it's hard to disagree. Here's to another entry one of Nintendo's most popular series!
+ Takes all of the improvements of Black/White and adds even more
+ New Trainer animations minimal, but good looking
+ Music is fantastic
+ All of the additional content adds some value and fun
– Doesn't do well as a continuation of Black/White's story
– Lack of new visuals and assets make a retread of Unova boring at points
Pokemon Black Version 2 might not be the end-all Pokemon entry, but it's still a solid game that most fans will enjoy.

Double victory for Chandler at Combe
The Wiltshire venue also provided the biggest crowd of the season to date with at least a line of spectators all the way around the 1.85 mile circuit.
Ben Short was the best of the rest and was the only other driver to lap within a second of Chandler. Will Blackwell-Chambers, who was the convincing double victor at Donington Park, claimed the third position spot in qualifying just ahead of James Rogers.
The battle for second allowed Chandler to make a break and pull clear of the opposition, he would eventually take the victory by five seconds in the eleven lap race.
Jason Greatrex also followed Short and Blackwell-Chambers ahead of Rogers which promoted him to fourth in the four car battle for second. As Greatrex and Rogers battled for fourth place, it allowed Short and Blackwell-Chambers to break away and confirm their podium positions with Short ahead of Blackwell-Chambers. However, the battle for fourth was resolved less quickly as Greatrex and Rogers swapped positions frequently and it was finally determined on the ninth lap during lappery in favour of Rogers ahead of Greatrex.
Hughes slowly pulled out a gap which allowed him to come home in sixth place ahead of Greatrex and Short after Sycamore had a brief loss of concentration and ended up in the barriers on the final lap showing how quickly the Castle Combe Circuit can bite.
Aghem always held a big enough gap between himself and Chris Lovett in which was the battle for tenth but became ninth on the final lap when Sycamore found himself in the barriers.
Dengate was able to beat Barker to the chequered flag to finish in eleventh. Ian Tomlinson, John Powell and Jamie Ingram completed the top fifteen.
After challenging for a few laps, on lap four Chandler made the most of the slipstream and took the lead away from Short. Chandler and Short made a brief slip-up on the seventh lap which allowed Blackwell-Chambers to take a short-lived lead as Chandler and Short bundled back through on the following lap.
Kris Greatrex made another lightning start to catapult him up into fifth and held onto that position ahead of his brother Jason as the pair had an almighty scrap, although Kris was never behind Jason when the cars crossed the timing beam. Therefore, Kris finished in fifth ahead of Jason albeit by just half a second.
Sycamore drove a stunning race to finish in eleventh after starting back in 28th after falling out of the first race. He claimed eleventh after passing Powell on lap nine. Powell held on to finish in twelfth ahead of Daniel Stewart who drew up behind him after following Sycamore around from the beginning of the race. Stewart started back in 20th so he was another driver with a strong race after passing lots of other competitors.
Ingram and Darren Shepsman completed the top fifteen. Barker had to work her way up the field after dropping to the back on lap three – she finished in nineteenth.Therefore, heading away from Castle Combe after six rounds of the series Chandler has taken four wins and only competed in four races, so is the man to beat. Blackwell-Chambers is the only driver to have finished on the podium in every race with two of those podiums being race victories.
Jonathan Hughes was voted the driver of the day at Castle Combe after his impressive sixth and seventh place finishes. The series next will be in action at the end of July at Anglesey, but 5 Club Racing will be at Rockingham beforehand with the MX150R's.

Latest News
Ask for a golf ruling with Cory Armstrong
QLast week, my ball was on the putting green. As part of my putting routine, I gently place the putter head behind the ball first and then take my stance. For some reason, my ball shifted a few inches. I'm confident I never touched it. Considering that and the fact that I had not fully addressed the ball, am I absolved from penalty? --
Joachim (Myrtle Beach)
AJoachim, you're correct that you did not incur a penalty under Rule 18-2b Ball at Rest Moved by Player After Address because a player has not addressed the ball until he completely takes his stance.
However, Decision 18-2b/4 tells us that if the ball moved after your club was grounded but before you had completed your stance, you would have incurred a penalty stroke under Rule 18-2a Ball at Rest Moved by Player in General. That is, unless there is strong evidence that wind or some other agency caused the ball to move.
Was there such an influence? Please remember that the evidence must be strong. After all, your ball was sitting perfectly still until a club head was placed behind it, right? So, unless there was an earthquake or a sudden gust of wind, it looks like you need to replace the ball and add a penalty stroke.
Some golfers choose to putt without ever grounding their club heads. It lessens the chance of the ball moving. Better luck next time.

Indoor Environment
Providing superior trace gas monitoring solutions for your most demanding Indoor Air Quality challenges
Indoor environment is a broad topic. It spreads across multiple scientific fields and activity sectors covering from Indoor Air Quality in the residential space or in public areas (recreational, commercial buildings) to Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Safety and Health in the professional world (office space, healthcare and industrial buildings).
LumaSense Technologies – with its INNOVA product line – provides measurement solutions needed by researchers, specialized consultants, equipment manufacturers, and building system solution developers in as many applications as academic research in building science, field commissioning or diagnosis (forensic) of indoor air quality solutions, exposure monitoring (occupational safety & health), or performance testing of HVAC equipment or extraction systems.
Building Air Quality
Indoor Air Quality Monitoring, Industrial Hygiene
Our Photoacoustic Multi-Gas Monitor product line (INNOVA 1314i / 1512) is particularly suited to the detection/monitoring of trace levels of multiple compounds in an ambient air background. They hence serve as stationary or field portable solution in the following applications:
- IAQ monitoring/testing in public spaces such as residential/education/commercial buildings with the measurement at trace levels of Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs), Ammonia (NH3), Carbon Monoxide (CO), or carbonyls like formaldehyde.
- Industrial hygiene studies in healthcare/industrial/office buildings: Eg. Waste anesthetic agents in operating theaters, occupational exposure in print shops (solvents), VOC in pharmaceutical labs.
Our detection limit chart gives an overview of the extent of gas compounds and of application that we can cover.
Building Science – Ventilation Performance Testing – Extraction system/Capture efficiency
The INNOVA product line benefits to ventilation and building science specialists who rely on advanced tracer gas methods to characterize and test independent equipment or full ventilation systems. When operated in coordination with the release of a tracer gas, the superior measurement specifications of our photoacoustic monitor help delivering the unique value of tracer gas methods. Our MultiPoint Sampler and online monitoring software further expand the range of applications.
Users of our Tracer Gas Solutions benefit from their high flexibility in the choice of the tracer gas, their portability, and their fully automated operation.
Air Purification Testing
Our INNOVA product line provides trusted solutions to perform characterization or compliance tests on air purification devices. Our photoacoustic monitors are polyvalent and easily customized to any gas of interest, providing superior flexibility with regard to challenge compounds.
Furthermore, features like multi-gas monitoring (up to 5 different gases) and wide dynamic range are highly valuable: a unique photoacoustic monitor can monitor with equal accuracy the conditions upstream and downstream a sorption bed (breakthrough time characterization), or it can measure in parallel both the reactants and the products when monitoring a photocatalytic process.

A heartless thief caught on camera stealing a holiday package from the front door of a New Jersey home pilfered an irreplaceable memento intended for the family of a young Army soldier who died last year. Karen Delmonaco, of Edison, tells WABC that the box stolen from in front of her home contained custom-made memory quilts sewn together with 90 pieces of shirts belonging to her son Robert, who was serving in the Army as a 2nd lieutenant with Alpha Troop 1-102nd Cavalry N.J. Army National Guard when he died in October 2014 at age 21. The quilts were intended as Christmas gifts for Robert Delmonaco's siblings and his father, the station reported. Click here to see the video of the thief. "I was waiting for them for a while. I got the confirmation that they were there. I came home, they were gone," Karen Delmonaco said. "I just want them back; that's all we have really are his memories and some of his things." Now, the Delmonaco family is hoping the thief will realize that the quilts have no real monetary value and will return them. "You can just throw them on the front lawn. I'm not going to prosecute. I just want them back, I just want them back," Karen Delmonaco said, according to CBS. The family is offering a reward for the return of the quilts. Anyone with information is urged to call the Edison (N.J.) police.

With just one Presidential debate to go, and a little more than two weeks remaining, campaign 2012 continues to be a close affair. Real Clear Politics has the race essentially tied, with Obama favored to win 201 electoral college votes and Mitt Romney 206, with 131 up for grabs.
Despite the narrowing of the national polling, President Obama continues to enjoy a small but persistent lead in swing states, including the all important Ohio
The NYT calculates that this persistent lead is generating a 70.3% chance of President winning Ohio on November 6th
These persistent swing state leads have 538 projecting the President to win 288 electoral votes to Mitt Romney's 255.
