At the Orangutan Foundation, two main areas of orangutan forest habitat where we work are Tanjung Puting National Park and the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve in Indonesian Borneo. Together they cover over half a million acres of forest- almost twice the size of Hong Kong. It's therefore essential that the Foundation's guard post teams are skilled and well trained to monitor the forest and waterways within this vast area.
During regular patrols, the team record wildlife sightings like these recent images from Tanjung Puting National Park.
Habitat loss is the largest threat to orangutan populations today; for example, it is predicted that by 2080, between 70-80% of prime orangutan habitat will be lost in Borneo alone if current trends continue. The role of guard posts as a deterrent therefore is vital to ensure intruders do not encroach or enter these parks illegally, damaging or degrading the environment which is essential for orangutans and other wildlife.
Fire fighting is another important role in the field that make these outpost sites so vital. Each one is prepared with fire fighting equipment, and the Foundation works closely with training and supporting the team to be vigilant in spotting forest fires and then safely extinguishing them with as little damage to the habitat as possible. These fires are a potential threat year on year, in 2015 for example an area the size of Wales was lost to forest fires alone in Indonesia, so to have our team patrolling these sites is of paramount importance to orangutan protection and the surrounding area.
We are incredibly grateful to have such a skilled and hardworking team here at the Orangutan Foundation, but they still require support. Find out how you can help from as little as £2.

Seven tips to Grandparents, who are critical to the health and safety of Granchildren by Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein
Grandparents can sometimes believe they are dispensable. This is a false assumption. Grandparents leave a remarkable imprint on a grandchild's life and have an important role to play. Grandparents give a sense of love and adoration for the grandchild that few parents have the energy or interest to sustain. Often Grandparents offer a special gift or the money for a science camp, a trip to Disneyland or some other experience in life that the parents simply can't or don't feel obliged to offer. Lastly, grandparents are simply interesting by virtue of the fact that they lived though a past for which grandchildren feel a sense of curiosity.
Grandparents have influence that can be critical. Grandparents have that extra pair of eyes that parents have often sacrificed in the line of daily duty and through the necessity of maintaining the upkeep of the children. They often provide a 'fresh set of eyes' and can perhaps tell when something is off. Parents can miss these subtleties.
Below are seven ways grandparents can help their grandchildren grow up strong, safe and happy:
1. Stay in touch with your grandchildren so you have a good baseline on their personalities and development. If you live apart then rely on all the modern world has to offer: e-mailing, phoning and faxing, Skpe, home video's, photographs, shared family blogs and of course snail mail. Not only will you be ready to help if there is something 'up' with a grandchild, but you will have such fun communicating and being part of their world.
2. Help each child feel special. For example you could create scrapbooks of special moments for each child on special occasions, such as a milestone birthday. The scrapbook can contain your thoughts and wishes for the child as well as photo's, special souvenirs saved from times spent together, and even family history. Each scrapbook can be very different, reflecting the needs and interests of a particular child.
3. Whether you see your grand kids every week or every three years, make sure you spend some alone time with each child. It is amazing how differently kids share themselves and even their hopes, dreams and secrets when the other siblings, or parents are not around. If you can't do much, even a slow walk around the block will lead to good fun and a better knowledge of your grandchild.
4. Now that you have the relationship going well, it is time to become very observant. Do you see any strange or unusual habits developing? Or do you see some social changes? These could include everything from an eye twitch to excessive crying, bullying of a sibling, spending too much alone time in her room, a change in friends that gives you some concerns, or maybe too few friends. It could also include such things as becoming a very picky eater or suddenly putting on a lot of weight.
5. If there are changes as noted above, don't react with drama or accusations. That is sure to set your own child off, and perhaps close the door to your visits and also, perhaps, perpetuate a bad situation so it will become worse. Rather, talk gently and with care and in private to your child. Let your own grown child have some time to respond. She may appear indifferent or she may open up and share her own concerns. Your granddaughter will be best served if follow your own daughter's lead and see where it goes. It may be painful, as you wish to change everything at once for your granddaughter. Sometimes we can only plant the seed and long after your visit you will find out that your granddaughter is indeed in counseling or working with the school guidance counselor in a peer group for social issues.
6. If you see a real crisis, then you have every right as family to be persistent and direct. For example, if you hear your granddaughter throwing up in the bathroom after meals, you should speak with authority (again in private) to your daughter, that she must take your granddaughter in for a medical exam. Eating disorders are real and potentially even fatal. You have a responsibility to react strongly.
Likewise, if you see one of your grand kids bullying and or physically punching, pushing hard, etc. on a younger sibling again and again, talk to your own child seriously. First of all, it is dangerous. Your older grandchild could hurt the younger one both physically and emotionally. Secondly, he could have his own emotion problems that need attention. Lastly, he could be a bully in the making and will also intimidate and hurt other children in the school yard, on the street, in the school hallways, etc.
7. Lastly, remember to share yourself with your grand kids. Just because everyone today has a cell phone, doesn't mean the kids aren't fascinated by the fact that your had one phone in your house when you grew up, or that the family of six drivers shared one beat up car or that you got up at 6:00 am for your paper route through town. Maybe you even had a doctor that still made house calls when someone was suddenly ill! It is the richness of your history along with your wisdom and willingness to push for the health and happiness of your grand kids that make you a great grandparent. Don't give up your assignment! The kids need you!

Deutsche Bank
Head Office
Deutsche Bank
60 Wall Street
New York, NY, USA
Known As
SWIFT Code
Deutsche Bank was founded in Berlin in 1870 as a specialist bank for foreign trade.[8] The bank's statute was adopted on 22 January 1870, and on 10 March 1870 the Prussian government granted it a banking license. The statute laid great stress on foreign business: "The object of the company is to transact banking business of all kinds, in particular to promote and facilitate trade relations between Germany, other European countries and overseas markets."[9] The bank's first domestic branches, inaugurated in 1871 and 1872, were opened in Bremen[10] and Hamburg.[11] Its first foray overseas came shortly afterwards, in Shanghai[12] (1872) and London[13] (1873). Already, at this early stage, the bank was looking further afield, making investments in North and South America, Asia, and Turkey. Major projects in the early years of the bank included the Northern Pacific Railroad in the US[14] and the Baghdad Railway[15] (1888). In Germany, the bank was instrumental in the financing of bond offerings of steel company Krupp (1879) and introduced the chemical company Bayer to the Berlin stock market. Deutsche Bank's early decades were a period of rapid expansion. Issuing business began to grow in importance in the 1880s, and in the 1890s it really took off. The bank played a major part in the development of Germany's electrical-engineering industry, but it also gained a strong foothold in iron and steel. A solid base in Germany permitted the financing of business abroad, which in some cases kept the bank occupied for years, the best-known example being the Baghdad Railway. The second half of the 1890s saw the beginning of a new period of expansion at Deutsche Bank. The bank formed alliances with large regional banks, giving itself an entrée into Germany's main industrial regions. Joint ventures were symptomatic of the concentration then under way in the German banking industry. For Deutsche Bank, domestic branches of its own were still something of a rarity at the time; the Frankfurt branch[16] dated from 1886 and the Munich branch from 1892, while further branches were established in Dresden and Leipzig[17] in 1901. In addition, the bank rapidly perceived the value of specialist institutions for the promotion of foreign business. Gentle pressure from the Foreign Ministry played a part in the establishment of Deutsche Ueberseeische Bank[18] in 1886 and the stake taken in the newly established Deutsch-Asiatische Bank[19] three years later, but the success of those companies in showed that their existence made sound commercial sense. When in spring 1914 the "Frankfurter Zeitung" told its readers that Deutsche Bank was "the biggest bank in the world",Frankfurter Zeitung, Erstes Morgenblatt, 5 March 1914. The claim marked the highpoint but at the same time the end of an era. During World War I, the source of the visionary vigor that had driven many a determined company to succeed gradually dried up.

Community Right to Know Campaign
AREA Fund provided a grant to the Canadian Cancer Society, BC & Yukon Division (the Society) for their Community Right to Know Campaign for asbestos. The objective of the campaign is to reduce cancer incidence by educating workers in BC - and the British Columbia population at large - on ways to reduce their exposures to carcinogens including asbestos, radon and cosmetic pesticides. The campaign will not only raise awareness of the hazards of asbestos, it also aims to improve cancer screening by encouraging workers to sign up for WorkSafeBC's new exposure registry. The information obtained through the registry will be kept as a permanent record of a worker's exposure.
In 2012, the Society launched their social media campaign on asbestos online encouraging people to send a letter to their MP to support a motion to create a registry of buildings that contain asbestos - Motion M-381. Unfortunately, shortly after the campaign was launched, Parliament voted down this motion. In 2013, advertising for the campaign began. The Society worked with both internal and external professionals to ensure the messages are impactful, scientifically accurate, and motivate the target audience to take action. Currently, Society staff and volunteers are visiting city permitting departments and building supply stores in many BC communities to tell them about the campaign, to provide them with posters to display, and to provide them with postcards to handout that warn the public of the hazards of asbestos.
AREA Fund is excited about this campaign, as the Canadian Cancer Society has the ability to reach a broad audience. As there are no cures for asbestos-related diseases, currently prevention is the only "cure" and obviously prevention is so much better than treatment.

It is great for:
All of these conditions are otherwise hard to treat if they don't get better with physiotherapy and before shock wave therapy existed the next step would often be surgery.
It has a success rate of about 70-80%, so it does not work for everyone, but does help most people even when other treatments have failed. It is a great way to keep yourself away from an operation.
Shock wave therapy is a non-invasive way of restarting the natural healing process allowing your body to repair itself. The common factor in all of these conditions is the chronic inflammatory process, which is a vicious cycle of pain and damage that is often seen in association with overuse injuries. Shockwave therapy can convert this chronic inflammatory process into an acute inflammatory process much like a fresh injury, from which the body can usually heal itself.
Typically three treatments of about five minutes are required spaced over three weeks. The treatments are a bit uncomfortable, but no injections are required, and they are not nearly as painful as surgery.
Shockwave therapy is not available on the NHS in this area, however, if you are insured then it should be fully covered by your private health insurance. If not Mr Willis-Owen can see you on a self-funded basis. A new consultation costs £250 and course of three treatments costs in the region of £750 depending on your specific needs. To put this in perspective surgery typically costs about £4,000 and involves time off work and a lower success rate.
Most insurance does cover it, but some (typically AXA) do not, if this is the case there are ways around this which mean you may still be able to benefit from shock wave therapy. Mr Willis-Owen will discuss this with you at your consultation.
During shock wave therapy, high-intensity sound waves are sent to the tissues of the body. This leads to all sorts of beneficial effects such as new blood vessel ingrowth, reversal of chronic inflammation, stimulation of new tissue growth and breaking down calcium deposits. For you, it's about 5 minutes of quite noisy, and a little bit uncomfortable treatment to the sore area, three weeks in a row.
Some people feel some benefit right after the session, but then it may be sore for the next day or two. The full benefit of the treatment takes some time, with most people feeling much better by 3 months. It carries on improving up to a year. If it is sore the next day please don't take anti-inflammatories like Neurofen or Ibuprofen, as these can stop the shock wave from working well. You can take Paracetamol or Cocodaomol if you need to.
You are likely to feel reduced pain within minutes of starting the first treatment. You will be sore after each treatment, but it is important NOT to take anti-inflammatories. The treatment works by stimulation of a 'pro-inflammatory state'. Most patients experience a considerable benefit by 3 months from the first treatment, but studies show improvements continue up to one year from treatment.
No! There are a variety of types of shockwave treatment and ways to deliver the therapy. Mr Willis-Owen uses a brand new radial shockwave therapy which has a wealth of research for sports injuries. The type of handpiece determines how much energy can be given, and the newer ceramic handpieces deliver more energy with less discomfort. Charles used to have an old "swiss dolocast" machine, but the new Stortz machine is much more comfortable and delivers more o the all-important energy for less discomfort.
We suggest that whoever gives you shockwave therapy should be experienced in treating your condition with non-operative, or surgical means so they can still help you if shockwave is not successful. Also, you should be treated by someone auditing their results, for example using the ASSERT protocol. This is a requirement of the National Institute of Clinical Excellence. See below.
The reported success rates in scientific studies are about 75%, meaning that shockwave has a good chance of solving your problems, but not a guarantee. Mr Willis-Owen is enthusiastic about shockwave therapy but appreciates that it is not the solution for everyone. Fortunately, Mr Willis-Owen has considerable experience in the surgical treatment of these conditions, so if shockwave therapy is not effective he is ideally suited to take your treatment to the next step.
NICE have looked a shockwave therapy and found it to be safe. The scientific evidence for efficacy is equivocal and as a result, NICE has suggested that clinicians carrying out shockwave therapy should gather data on their patients in order to see how well it works. This sort of recommendation from NICE is very common indeed as it takes many years, and many patients to gather robust scientific evidence for any treatment.
For this reason, Mr Willis-Owen may ask you to enrol in the ASSERT protocol which is a simple process used to assess how effective shockwave therapy has been.
Mr Willis-Owen carries out Shockwave Treatment at The Nuffield and The Harbour hospitals. A course of treatment is usually 3 sessions of 20-minute appointments each a week apart.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Shares for companies that provide university and college degrees declined Friday after The Washington Post Co. said proposed U.S. regulation of for-profit educators could harm its Kaplan division.
The new regulations, if passed, would help to halt predatory lending to low-income students and tighten standards among financial aid advisors.
Such changes could "adversely affect" the Kaplan's ability to retain admission workers, financial aid advisors and students, the Washington Post said in a statement.
Kaplan is the company's largest division in terms of operating income.
Shares of Washington Post WPO fell nearly 9% to $372.09, while shares University of Phoenix owner Apollo Group Inc. APOL, +0.00% lost 1.6% to $42.15, Career Education Corp. CECO, +0.46% declined nearly 6.8% to $20.42 and DeVry Inc. DV, -8.47% fell 5.8% to $48.
Education Management Corp. EDMC shares fell 7.3% to $13.14 and ITT Educational Services Inc. ESI, +0.25% shed 5.7% to $71.08. American Public Education APEI, +0.19% plunged 30% to $29.85 after pulling its guidance for the year late Thursday.
Criticism against the $24 billion industry has been mounting for years.
For-profit educators have been accused of preying on low-income students to tap government loans, and encouraging applicants that don't qualify for the loans to lie on their submission forms. They are also accused of exaggerating the applicant's employability and potential wages upon completion of the program.

For example, a college owned by a publicly-traded company told one applicant he could work for the Central Intelligence Agency after earning an associate's degree in criminal justice, though the agency requires a bachelor's degree at a minimum, according to a report from the Government Accountability Office released Wednesday.
Another college told an applicant she could earn $68,000 a year after completing a nine-month medical assisting certificate, when 90% of all people working in the field make less than $40,000.
Such deceit leaves students burdened with loans they cannot pay back. Students who attended a for-profit college are far more likely to default on their government loans than students at not-for-profit colleges, according to the GAO report.
In the last ten years, federal funding to the industry grew 450% to $21 billion, and now accounts for 90% of revenues for many major for-profit institutions, according to Steven Eisman, the portfolio manager of FrontPoint Financial Services Fund, during testimony before a U.S. Senate committee in June.
"The government, the students and the taxpayer bear all the risk and the for-profit industry reaps all the rewards," said Eisman. "This is similar to the subprime mortgage sector in that the subprime originators bore far less risk than the investors in their mortgage paper."
Famous for betting against the pre-recession subprime mortgage industry, Eisman now holds short positions in education stocks, according to media reports.
In the GAO report, undercover tests at 15 for-profit colleges found that four encouraged fraudulent practices, such as having applicants lie about their income or the value of their assets to qualify for government loans.
All 15 colleges made misleading statements to encourage students to enroll and apply for government loans.
College representatives exaggerated applicants' potential salary after graduation and failed to provide clear information about the college's program duration, costs, or graduation rate despite federal regulations requiring them to do so.
"For example, staff commonly told GAO's applicants they would attend classes for 12 months a year, but stated the annual cost of attendance for 9 months of classes, misleading applicants about the total cost of tuition," the GAO said in the report.
The report did not name the 15 companies investigated.
If passed, new U.S. regulations would require a company to show its postsecondary degree can lead to gainful employment in a recognized occupation, or otherwise lose eligibility for government-sponsored student loans, according to the Washington Post.
The revised standards would also tighten the definition of a "credit hour" to help stop financial aid advisors and admission workers from misrepresenting the program's cost and duration.

Take two numbers, height and weight, and come up with another number, Body Mass Index (BMI), and as an indicator of good health you have next to nothing. The BMI fails to take into account physical features - as an example those with broad shoulders will have a higher BMI compared to those with narrow shoulders. There is no differentiation between fat, muscle, and bone, and it does not account for gender.
The BMI often changes as we age. For some it is lower, but that does not necessarily mean better health. Thirty years ago I was in peak physical condition and had more muscle mass than I do today; I regularly played rugby, two 40 minutes halves of pretty much non-stop strenuous exertion with no substitutions. According to this BMI chart I would have been bordering on obesity and classified as unhealthy.
Today I have a lower BMI number, but I also have less muscle than I did 30 years ago. Losing muscle is part of the aging process; it happens to all of us. I suppose I could sit back in comfort and point to my lower BMI number as an indicator of good health.
The BMI statistic is negatively biased against those who have more muscle, and the BMI statistic does not capture the positive health factor of strength. It is absolutely essential for good health to remain as strong as possible we age. Fortunately with a proper personal training program like the one we offer at Austin Personal Trainers and New Orleans Fitness Training those who are younger will increase strength and muscle mass, and those who are older can remain strong, slow down age-related muscle loss, and even reverse it. When you add muscle your BMI number will rise, but you will be better for it.

Who are the Best Players Playing in Less Popular European Leagues?
by MairaS on March 14, 2016
in Famous football players
If you look for best football players in Europe outside the top three leagues, your first stop must be France. Paris Saint Germain is full of exceptional players, but only one is a state-of-the-art – Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Swedish attacker is known for his shots hitting the nets of the opponent's goal hard, but his words are also sharp and he often doesn't think through about what he says, which is exactly why he has such a big fanbase. You just can't be indifferent towards Zlatan, you either love him or hate him, and you have to respect his football skills.

Australopithecus. Custom Australopithecus Essay Writing Service || Australopithecus Essay samples, help
The Australopithecus fossil was given its name with regards to its thinking ability in comparison to the other hominids. The Australopithecus was a genius ape whose thinking ability was closer to the modern man than the ancient apes. Archaeological and paleontological evidence indicate that the Australopithecus fossils were located in East Africa more than four million years ago thus indicating that the species evolved from this part of the world. The ape then moved across the African continent before becoming extinct after approximately 2million years. The Australopithecus exited in different forms during this period including; Australopithecus afarensis, Australopithecus Africanus, Australopithecus sediba, and Australopithecus anamensis (Richmond and Strait, 2001).
Controversies and debates have come up on whether some of the hominid species located in Africa such as the Australopithecus boisei and Australopithecus robustus fall under the same genus as the other Australopithecus. Some scholars have given the named species different names like Paranthropus as they believe they were not members of the same genus as the other Australopithecus. It is believed by many paleontologists and archaeologists that australopiths played an important role in the evolution of man and it was the australopiths species which eventually evolved to become the Homo genus. Homogenus was the second last stage of evolution before the Homo sapiens, which is the current human species (Johanson, 1999).

History of the Specimen
The first australopithecine specimen to be documented after discovery was a three year old fossil of Australopithecus africanus in South Africa in a place called Taung by quarry workers. Raymond Dart who was serving as an Australian anatomist studied the specimen and published his findings in a Nature magazine in 1925. Dart's discovery was that the specimen had various humanoid features thus concluded it was an ancestor of humans. It took Dark and Robert Broom from Scotland more than ten years after Darts discovery to go back and look for more hominid species. Other contributors to the discovery of Australopithecus included Mary Leakey who discovered Australopithecus bosei skull in Eastern Africa (Johanson and Heiple, 1997). p style="text-align: justify;">The Leakey family went ahead with their search and discovered more Australopithecus fossils and other evolved species like the Homo erectus and Homo habilis. Modern scientists have recently come across new australopithecine specimens in Malapa cave in South Africa that appear to have lived more than 1.9 million years ago. The Gracile type of australopiths had more of the modern man traits and was discovered in Northern and Eastern Africa approximately 3.5 million years. The earliest evidence of this specimen was located at Laetoli in Tanzania (Johanson, and Heiple, 1997).

The fossils discovered indicate that the Australopithecus formed part of the common ancestor of the Paranthropus, a distinct hominid group as well as genus Homo including the modern man. Although the hominid was not as intelligent as the common man, it was sophisticated compared to other earlier apes. Its bipedal structure forms the key feature that distinguishes this genus from other earlier primates that had a quadruped structure. The Australopithecus morphology upsets scientists belief that because of their bipedal form, they hard large brains. This has remained a topic of controversy as scientists have not been able to explain how primates with bipedal form first evolved many years ago. This has led to a lot of concepts being put in place to study this matter. An example is the Australopithecus aferansis which had a biped form yet it had a small brain. Bipedalism gave the Australopithecus the advantage of using its arms to freely grasp objects and carry their young ones but still most of the anthropologists argue that such advantages were not sufficient to result in bipedalism evolution (Kimbel and Coppens, 1992).
The Australopithecus species brains were approximated to be 35% of that of a modern human. Most of these species were gracile and diminutive, standing at about 1.2 to 1.4 m tall. The Australopithecus species also varied in its sexual dimorphism degrees with the female being smaller than the male. Modern hominids as well as modern humans display low sexual dimorphism degrees. The modern mans sexual dimorphism is 15% larger than that of females. The Australopithecus males had more than 50% sexual dimorphism than the females. The modern human being is however closely related to the Australopithecus sharing body features like waist bones with both the man's and apes strengthened to allow knuckle-walking (Kimbel and Coppens, 1992).
This has also raised some controversies as most of the other primates were knuckle walkers thus the biomechanics and anatomy of knuckle walking witnessed in gorillas and chimpanzees was different suggestion the knuckle walking ability evolved independently without any association with the modern man. Radial changes were also witnessed within the Australopithecus genus with some more evolved than others. The gracile australopiths was more evolved as its feet and pelvis structures were similar to that of the modern humans. The dentition had smaller canines but still had larger canines and thicker enamel compared to the modern man. Most of the species did not adapt well to using tools like the modern man and not any better than the earlier primates (McHenry, 1998).

Africa can be regarded as the home of Australopithecus as all the sites where its specimens were found happened to be in Africa. Despite the first specimen being discovered in South Africa, in Taung, most of the other fossils were located in East Africa. The first Australopithecus fossils were discovered at 17 different locations spread over approximately 1.55km. This can be taken to present 17 different individuals that once existed in this area. The holotype collected at this location was 'ARA-VP-6/1'which was based mainly on eight teeth. Most of these teeth were found to be damaged. The specimen discovered at this site was later discussed as to be representing Australopithecus ramindus. Parts of the body discovered at the site included the base of what was later considered to be its skull (ARA-VP-1/500) located around 550m away. The other part discovered was a bone of a fragmented arm (ARA- VP-7/2) that was found 270m away. A good part of the piece discovered had marks that had been caused by carnivore teeth. Eleven of the specimens collected comprised of a tooth piece, a tooth or a bone piece. The molar tooth was also discovered around the same area but 1.55 km away from where the holotype was located (Stratigraphy and Park, 2000).

I am looking for a loving home
Can you help?
K9 now have a stall at Alcala Market Sunday from 9 am till 1pm and also.....
Wednesdays at Playa San Juan Market, 10am till 1pm.
More clothes and bric-a-brac are now desperately needed to keep up the good work at the markets. Donations of clothes etc. may be made at the markets or direct to the kennels.Every 2nd Saturday of the month, K9 and Friends of the Animals are holding a nearly new sale at Shimmers, in Callao Salvaje.
Don't give your pet anything to eat or drink unless your vet tells you to do so.
DO keep your dog on a lead when near traffic or in unsafe areas
DO watch out for hidden dangers such as poisonous plants, hidden holes, gullies and caves.
DO look out for dangers within the home. Check your pet cannot fall from the balcony, chew exposed wires or cables, have contact with any household cleaning products or insect repellents.
DO keep your vets details plus an emergency vet's telephone number handy and in a place where all family members know where it is.
DON'T allow your pet to play with children's toys or sharp objects. These can damage their throats or block intestines.
DON'T leave rubbish bins unsecured and open
DON'T leave doors open on washing machines or tumble dryers. Cats find these as cosy places to sleep.
Remember speedy action is required when dealing with life-threatening emergencies but don't let 'heroism' get in the way. Animals can lash out and bite or scratch when scared or in pain so if you suffer injuries yourself, make sure you also seek medical attention.

Two Brothers Tavern will donate 10 percent of its proceeds on Monday, Sept. 3 (Labor Day) to the Middlebury Police Department.
The donation will help fund the Departments "Mobile Command Post". This large truck is intended for use by Addison County emergency services as a mobile command post and communications platform for major emergency and non-emergency events in Addison County.
Since its inception a few years ago, the truck has been used as a control hub for bomb threats, hazardous materials incidents, major crime scenes (such as a shooting in East Middlebury and the Dog Team fire), emergency drills, and a variety of large public events, such as the recent Firefighters Convention and parade and the All-State Music Parade.
The truck has been used by local fire departments, police, and state police.
The truck is funded by grant funds and private donations. No tax dollars are used to support the ongoing use and maintenance of the truck. Keeping this truck available for emergency multi-agency coordination is dependent on the fund to keep it going.
Tom Hanley, chief of the Middlebury Police Department said, This effort by Two Brothers Tavern will certainly go a long way to helping keep this truck available to first responders.
The fundraiser is part of Two Brothers on-going Charitable Monday program, which was begun in November 2006. The first Monday of every month Two Brothers donates 10 percent of its proceeds to a designated charity or non-profit organization. Former beneficiaries include the United Way, the Addison County Humane Society, Porter Hospital and Parent to Parent of Vermont in August their biggest Charitable Monday to date, earning $533.45 for parents in need.
It is our hope that people will come out on Labor Day to help us support the Middlebury Police Department, said Holmes Jacobs, proprietor of Two Brothers Tavern.
If you would like to make a donation to the event, or have your organization considered for a local Charitable Monday, visit Two Brothers Tavern at 86 Main St. in Middlebury.

With the new baby and everything, our normal morning routine has drastically changed around the MDD household. In the old days it was just me and the Madame at the breakfast table, enjoying a little oatmeal and applesauce. But now she's two she'd rather starve than have me feed her, and with that newfound independence also comes a someone who wants to pick out what she's having for breakfast.
I'm generally fine with choice, within reason of course. Her breakfast request two weeks ago for "chips" didn't go over so well. But it seems recently she's less and less interested in eating much at all for breakfast, which is definitely not OK.
Which brings me to the question posed in the subject of this post. Having been frustrated by this for a few weeks, the other morning my wife tells me that she's got the perfect solution, and busts out a box of blueberry Pop Tarts. Perfect, I think. Her favorite fruit these days is blueberries, it's totally a finger food she can eat herself, and it's sweet. It's got icing for chrissakes. Sure, it's not the healthiest thing in the world, but it's fortified up the wazoo with vitamins, and with a cup of milk and maybe a banana it's a breakfast I can live with. So we give it to her and after one bite we get the phrase we're hearing all too often these days, "No like it."
"No like it"?? It's a freaking Pop Tart. Did my kid turn French overnight? Is her palette so advanced the mere taste of this processed, mass produced pastry makes her stomach turn? Or, perhaps more likely, is she just two and trying to be difficult because that's what two-year-olds do? Maybe. But shouldn't super-sweet (borderline) junk food cut through all that terrible-twos bullshit?
I guess tomorrow it's a baguette with gruyere.

Driverless buses may seem farfetched or futuristic or even unbelievable, but in fact, they're already here.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation is currently in the middle of an autonomous shuttle bus pilot project at their MnROAD research center in Monticello.
RELATED: MnDOT to Partner with French Company to Test Driverless Shuttle Bus
"We know the technology is coming really fast, but a lot of the testing is happening in the warm weather climates," MnDOT State Traffic Engineer Jay Hietpas explained Tuesday. "So we decided let's bring a vehicle here to Minnesota and see how it operates in our winter weather conditions."
The bus is fully electric. It averages speeds of between 10 and 15 miles per hour. It fits about a dozen people, and it detects obstacles and navigates using a combination of what's called LiDAR – which is kind of like radar except it uses light – and GPS.
"Autonomous vehicles, connected vehicles, they are coming and they are coming faster than anybody had expected," said MnDOT Commissioner Charles Zelle, who added that the technology has plenty of potential benefits. Those include reduced congestion and increased fuel efficiency, but the big one as far as Zelle is concerned is safety.
"Who knew we'd have backup cameras and signals that say when you've got a car next to you, automatic breaking? You know, this is just taking it to the next level," he said, while pointing out that more than 300 Minnesotans are killed in crashes every year, a number he believes autonomous vehicles can drastically reduce.
There are still some kinks to work out.
Here it is: Minnesota's first autonomous shuttle bus going for a spin. I'll be hopping on in a bit. pic.twitter.com/S5pbm5ZTfY— Josh Rosenthal (@JRosenthalKSTP) December 12, 2017
During a test run on a circle track in Monticello Tuesday, the vehicle made a few unplanned starts and stops. Joseph Holmes – a representative of EasyMile, the company that supplies the driverless software – said snowfall was likely to blame.
"We've seen the snow definitely present some challenges," he said, "but that is exactly why we're here, and that is why it's so exciting to be a part of this project."
RELATED: What's Holding Back Self-Driving Cars? Human Drivers
MnDOT and their partners have some time to work with the weather. The pilot project, which a MnDOT spokesperson said costs about $200,000, is scheduled to run for about four months.
Interested riders won't have to wait long to take a spin on a driverless bus. MnDOT says they plan to offer the public short test drives in downtown Minneapolis during Super Bowl week.
You can find additional information about the project here.
What do you think? Are you on board with driverless buses, or would you prefer that all buses have a human behind the wheel? You can send an email or video clip to the Commissioner of Transportation, Charlie Zelle.

Cast (feature film)
In this remake of The Champ, a drunken clown tries to make a comeback so he can keep his son.
A lawyer defends a migrant worker in a sensational murder trial.
Three young men train to become motorcycle cops.
Erie Canal, N.Y., 1850: Molly Larkins, cook on Jotham Klore's canal boat, has a love-hate relationship with her boss. She hires handsome new haul-horse driver Dan Harrow and the inevitable triangle develops (complicated by Dan's desire to farm and Molly's to boat) against a background of the canalmen's fight against the encroaching railroad.
Produced by Ken Murray strictly as a vehicle for Laurie Anders, his curvy protege from his television show and billed above the title and first billed in the cast as Laurie ("I-like-the-wide-open-spaces") Anders, which was her catch-line phrase and how she was introduced and known. This is neither a comedy, satire or parody---missing badly on all attempts at such---and isn't much of a western either, even by bottom-of-the-barrel B-standards. The plot by veteran B-western villain player Bob Duncan, who did manage to write himself the best role in the movie, relative to there being no good roles in this movie, has town banker Anderson (Robert Bray as Bob Bray), the secret head of an outlaw gang, trying to organize a Cattleman's Association and not getting any takers. He sends for Trigger Gans (Bob Duncan) to act as a persuader. But a mysterious, masked rider known as El Coyote begins to resist. El Coyote is of course Laurie Dawson (Laurie Anders as Laurie "I-like-the-wide-open-spaces" Anders), daughter of retired Marshal and rancher Ben Dawson (Hoot Gibson), and her El Coyote role ensured that whoever stunt-doubled her would wear pads where no stunt man ever wore them, with the possible later exception of Dean Smith doubling Maureen O'Hara in "McLintock." The heroines that Dave Sharpe doubled in Republic serials weren't built like Laurie Anders. Producer Ken Murray, as a riverboat gambler named Sliding Bill Murray, rolls into town on the same stage as Trigger Gans, and then promptly engages Preston Foster, Johnny Mack Brown,Jimmy Wakely and Buddy Baer(in cameo roles) in a blackout-skit poker game written by himself, which had to have been even more painful for the participants than the viewers. Ralph Staub used to get better stuff than this in his "Screen Snapshots" just roaming around Columbia's backlot and interviewing Smiley Burnette and Ringeye.
Nuclear tests set a dormant prehistoric monster on a path of destruction.
A new radio-active element could destroy the world by absorbing the planet's energy.
The citizens of Poker Flat attempt to rid their town of bad influences.
True story of the convicted bootlegger who fought for his freedom by inventing a new rifle.
A Mexican-American laborer fights for his dignity.
To commit the perfect crime, a former detective keeps his colleagues' identities secret from each other.
Special prosecutor John Conroy hopes to combat organized crime in his city, and appoints his cop father Matt as chief investigator. John doesn't understand why Matt is reluctant, but cynical reporter Jerry McKibbon thinks he knows: he's seen Matt with mob lieutenant Harrigan. Jerry's friendship for John is tested by the question of what to do about Matt, and by his attraction to John's girl Amanda. Meanwhile, the threatened racketeers adopt increasingly violent means of defense.
A defense attorney jeopardizes his career to save his client.
A bank teller reaps the rewards of saving a gangster's life, but can't reveal where he got the money.
Lawyer uncovers secrets behind a decade-old murder case.
The 57th of Republic's 66 serials is filled with stock footage from some of that company's previous "Zorro" serials, primarily 1944's "Zorro's Black Whip", so a lot of the footage finds Ken Curtis wearing the same costume as Linda Stirling and (mostly) her double Babe DeFreest wore in that serial. Disney now owned the rights to the Zorro character, but Republic wasn't about to let all that footage go to waste when all they had to do was create a character called Don Daredevil. Those who express surprise at finding TV's "Festus" as the lead in a serial evidently are looking at the career of Ken Curtis from the back end rather than from the beginning aspect of his career. The serial has political boss Douglas Stratton (Roy Barcroft) finding that an old Spanish Land Grant made to Ricardo Moreno and later sold to Patrick Doyle to be a forgery, and he tries to cash in by having his men attempt to stake out mineral claims and homesteads on the ranches now part of the original grant. The plot is resisted by Patricia Doyle (Aline Towne), grand-daughter of Patrick Doyle, and her neighbor Gary Taylor (Robert Einer). Stratton backs up his demands with the help of the crooked sheriff (I. Stanford Jolley), and Gary and Patricia are facing with losing their property when her cousin, Lee Hadley (Ken Curtis), arrives from back East. Foreseeing Stratton's move, he already has homesteaded the Doyle Ranch, forcing Stratton to temporarily back down. The other ranchers follow suit, homesteading and mineral-claiming their own property, but Stratton organizes a gang of night riders to try and drive off the ranchers before they can prove their titles. Lee decides to take on the character of Don Daredevil, which has been used by his grandfather during earlier times of trouble. As the masked daredevil, Lee is successful in driving off Stratton's raiders. Stratton lures Don Daredevil into an ambush but he escapes to an old ore shack overhanging a cliff, and Chapter One, "Return of the Don", ends when the shack is dynamited. Eleven more chapters reel by before Lee/Don Daredevil acquires the original, unforged deed and puts an end to Stratton's scheme in the 12th episode, "Flames of Vengeance."
A Civil War veteran returns to his hometown to avenge his brother's death.
A shipping magnate uses murder to escape an old debt.
A real cowboy signs on to impersonate a faded western star for public appearances.
A woman seduces a District Attorney and pulls him into a web of theft and murder.
In this remake of Gene Autry's 1942 "Call of the Canyon", Rex Allen (Rex Allen), the newly-elected head of the cattleman's association, is driving the combined herds of the ranchers to the nearest railhead when he runs into trouble. The drive is stopped by Brock Stevens (Robert Karnes), whose father is a power in the meat-packing industry, and whose ownership of the railroad spur line enables him to deal ruthlessly with the local ranchers. Rex and the other ranchers are elated when Brock agrees to pay fair-market price for the cattle until they learn the exorbitant loading fees he charges will eat up their profits. The only alternative is to drive the herd to the main line railroad at Big Bow, but to do so means Brock will crack down on them for the $10,000 feed bill they owe his company. Rex starts to Tulsa to borrow the needed money, after ending a move by Hank (Trevore Bardette), the lone dissenter among the ranchers and actually in league with the Stevens crowd. Brock sends his foreman, Webb (Lane Bradford), to stop Rex and his sidekick Jigg (Fuzzy Knight) and when this fails, Brock contacts his father, Charles Stevens (Robert Emmett Keane) in Tulsa. Whens the elder Stevens learns that Rex is appealing to Kate Carney (Elizabeth Risdon), owner of a rival packing company, he sets a plan in action to undermine Rex's appeal for a loan.
A group of ranchers, led by Colonel Arnold (Cliff Clark) and Ward Gordon (Tom Keene as Richard Powers), are drilling an oil well but getting fierce opposition from an unknown gang of outlaws. Eastern promoter J.B."Dude" Dawson (I. Stanford Jolley), is behind the gang as he is out to prevent the co-op members from striking oil before their lease expires, so he can secure the property for his company. When Ward, with the help of Arnold and his daughter Sally (Judy Clark), arranges for a new driller to be brought in, the replacement man is killed and one of Dawson's men takes his place.

She calls on George while his wife is out, and when she passes out during his attempts to get her out before his wife returns, he thinks she is dead and deposits her on Galleo's terrace.
