Towns & Villages
East Sussex
From the Victorian pier and three tier promenade, to a world-class marina and vibrant watersports centre, Eastbourne is both a classic and modern English seaside town.
A natural gateway to the South Downs, Eastbourne attracts thousands of visitors looking to get away from it all. Eastbourne is also a wonderful base to explore the glorious surrounding countryside and the Sussex Coast.
You're only a short drive away from Battle Abbey, famous site of the Battle of Hastings. If you're interested in this important British event, you should also visit Pevensey Castle – built upon existing fortifications by William the Conqueror after coming ashore in 1066.
For fun for all the family - visit nearby Drusillas Park and get nose to nose with hundreds of exotic animals, from monkeys and crocodiles to penguins and meerkats.
Ultimately, the beach dominates the activities in Eastbourne itself. And, whether you're listening to music in the 1930s bandstand or simply dipping your toes in the Quality Coast award-winning waters, it's easy to see why the beach is so popular!
Things to see and do in Eastbourne...
- Enjoy dramatic views over the English Channel from the UK's highest chalk cliff, Beachy Head. Afterwards, you can explore the stunning Seven Sisters Country Park (the Sisters are seven huge chalk cliffs jutting out to sea).
- Check out the bold, stunning contemporary artworks in Towner – the shiny new centre of visual arts for the South East.
- Take a short drive to Herstmonceux Castle to enjoy the lovely Elizabethan gardens, and visit the interactive astronomy centre and observatory.
- Head to the end of the pier and try the Victorian Camera Obscura to view the seafront in amazing 360-degree projections.

The weather may seem like it is cooling down in California but for those working outdoors, the weather continues to pose a health risk. When workers, such as those in construction jobs, spend an elongated time outdoors and exposed to the sun, they run the risk of contracting sun stroke or other dangerous conditions. Recognizing the risk, California lawmakers have placed obligations on employers, forcing them to take steps to reduce the risk and avoid occupational illness.
Office injuries may qualify for workers' compensation
There are certain occupations that are inherently dangerous. Construction workers, police officers and firefighters are put in harm's way on a daily basis. Yet, these are not the only workers who can be subjected to a workplace injury. In fact, even those who work in what many would consider boring office jobs can be seriously injured, leaving them with the need for medical care and time off from work.
Repetitive stress injuries may qualify for workers' compensation
When California residents think about workplace injuries they may instantly conjure images of construction workers falling from scaffolding, factory workers being crushed by machinery or drivers being hurt in car accidents. While these instances are certainly real and common, they are not, by any stretch of the imagination, the only instances in which an individual can suffer a workplace injury.
Whiplash basics
Anyone who has ever operated a motor vehicle understands that becoming involved in a car accident is a risk of the roadway. While some accidents are the result of unavoidable weather complications or road conditions, some accidents are the result of negligent drivers that might be distracted or under the influence.
Statistics on the number of workplace injuries in California
Accidents occur every day in California. Some of these accidents are minor and do not affect the people involved very much. However, other accidents result in severe injuries to those involved. These injuries can change people's lives for a period of time. This can include being unable to work while they recover. While these accidents can also occur in many different locations, people expect to be safe in certain circumstances. One of these circumstances is while the person is at work. Employees expect that the employer will keep them safe so they can continue to do their job.
OSHA released top 10 safety citations for 2016
By law, workplaces are required to provide a safe and healthful working environment for its employees. Every year, however, more than 4,500 workers are killed and about 3 million are injured due to workplace hazards.
Truck driving is a dangerous job for more reasons than you expect
Although it may not seem like it, truck drivers suffer more fatalities than any other occupation in the United States. Tractor-trailer drivers account for one of every six workers killed on the job, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. They also are three times more likely to experience non-fatal injuries or illness. Even though 78 percent of fatalities were caused by transportation incidents, it is not the only cause of truck driver injury.

DETROIT (WJBK) - Former Red Wings defenseman, head coach & Hockey Hall of Fame member Bill Gadsby passed away Thursday morning at the age of 88.
The "honored member" of the Detroit Red Wings Alumni Association played 1248 regular season NHL games with Detroit, Chicago & the New York Rangers from 1946-1966.

More Eddie Mio: He had hands the size of bear paws. He was a good friend to me and the Red Wing Alumni. He will be missed. #TheGreatGadsby— Jennifer Hammond (@HammerFox2) March 10, 2016
The Calgary native had 130 goals and 438 assists during his 21 season NHL career, but never won a Stanley Cup. He was inducted into the NHL Hall of Fame in 1970.

Impacts of increasing land use under energy crops - hydrology data, 2006-2009
Responsible Party: Rothamsted Research, Plant and Invertebrate Ecology Division (principalInvestigator); Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (pointOfContact, author)
This data set consists of various hydrological measurements taken over two years of instrumental monitoring in fields of willow and Miscanthus crops from a study as part of the NERC Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) programme. Future policies are likely to encourage more land use under energy crops: principally willow, grown as short rotation coppice, and a tall exotic grass Miscanthus. These crops will contribute to the UK's commitment to reduce CO2 emissions. However, it is not clear how decisions about appropriate areas for growing the crops, based on climate, soil and water, should be balanced against impacts on the landscape, social acceptance, biodiversity and the rural economy. This project integrated social, economic, hydrology and biodiversity studies in an interdisciplinary approach to assessing the impact of converting land to Miscanthus grass and short-rotation coppice (SRC) willows. Two contrasting farming systems were focused on: the arable-dominated East Midlands; and grassland-dominated South West England. This data set consists of various hydrological measurements taken over two years of instrumental monitoring in fields of both crops. GIS and biodiversity survey datasets are also available. The public attidues questionnaire data from this study are available at the UK Data Archive under study number 6615 (see online resources). Further documentation for this study may be found through the RELU Knowledge Portal and the project's ESRC funding award web page (see online resources).Read More

"... ATS was the right choice in helping us determine what our new strategy should be and what the technology should encompass..."
- Sheila Owens, Vice President, Communications & Marketing
Founded in 1890, the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) is the only organization serving and representing insurance and financial advisors regardless of their products or practice focus. NAIFA works to advocate for a positive legislative and regulatory environment, enhance business and professional skills, and promote the ethical conduct of its members.
As NAIFA looked to better engage its constituents, it needed a new website that would address these challenges:
The new website needed to be user-centric, up-to-date with current standard and user interface elements, well-integrated with NAIFA's AMS and custom applications, as well as easy-to-maintain for its internal staff.
NAIFA chose ATS as its partner for the redesign project due to ATS' extensive experience working with associations, the Kentico CMS, and the iMIS AMS. The ATS and NAIFA teams collaborated closely to:
The new website brought an enhanced user experience for NAIFA's online users and internal staff, providing:
NAIFA's members have reported in with positive feedback on the new website's look and structure. ATS and NAIFA continue to work together to explore building a NAIFA-branded app, possibly in connection with the Kentico CMS, for enhanced communications and engagement.

Governor Corbett, Susquehanna Service Dogs Join to Sign H.B. 165
Governor Corbett will join Susquehanna Service Dogs for a ceremonial signing of H.B. 165, the recently enacted bill that allows for harsher penalties for dogs owners whose animals attack service dogs. The bill's passage acknowledges the importance of service dogs and the extensive training it takes to prepare them to serve people with disabilities. The signing will take place on August 8 at 10 a.m. in SSD's training space in the Harrisburg Mall.
Harrisburg, PA (PRWeb) August 7, 2012 – On August 8, Governor Corbett will join Susquehanna Service Dogs for a ceremonial signing of H.B. 165, the bill that was recently enacted to allow for harsher penalties for dog owners whose animals attack service dogs. The signing will take place on Wednesday, August 8 at 10 a.m. in SSD's training space at the "Puppy Palace" on the second level of the Harrisburg Mall (next to Game Stop).
H.B. 165 provides that if a dog attacks a service dog, the owner of the dog could be charged with a third-degree misdemeanor if they had knowledge of the animal's aggression, or if the animal had a history of attacks. Individuals found responsible for a service dog's harm would be responsible for veterinary bills, replacement and training costs of a new service dog, fines, and more.
The passing of this bill acknowledges the importance of service dogs and the extensive training that goes into developing a service dog. Their extensive skills enable them to serve a person with disabilities to be more independent in their lives.
Governor Corbett will be joined by others who were instrumental in passing H.B. 165, as well as by multiple SSD working dog teams, puppy raisers and other volunteers, and service dogs in training.
"Susquehanna Service Dogs is honored that Governor Corbett has invited us to be a part of the signing of a bill that has such a tremendous impact on our field," says Nancy Fierer, founder and director of SSD.
Since its inception in 1993, Susquehanna Service Dogs, a program of Keystone Human Services Children & Family Services, has placed more than 200 service dogs with people who have disabilities. SSD dogs assist children and adults with mobility, hearing, and psychiatric disabilities, as well as people with autism and military veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Each dog is professionally trained to meet the individual needs of their partner and completes tasks such as opening doors, picking up dropped objects, assisting with daily dressing, or pulling a manual wheelchair. The program is fully accredited by Assistance Dogs International and is a part of the United Way of the Capital Region. SSD relies on donations and a dedicated group of volunteers, many of whom raise the dogs that will go on to change lives, to fulfill its mission of "Opening Doors and Changing Lives."
The official registration and financial information for Keystone Children & Family Services an agency of Keystone Service Systems and Keystone Partnership may be obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of State by calling toll-free, within Pennsylvania, 1-800-732-0999. Registration does not imply endorsement.

California poised to be 1st state to outlaw human antibiotics in livestock
This has been the year of antibiotics awareness in the food industry. Giant food corporations like McDonald's, Tyson, Foster Farms and Costco all announced plans to phase out meat raised with antibiotics. But these efforts pale in comparison to pending California legislation that aims to strictly limit antibiotic use in agriculture and, according to public health experts, could reduce the number of deaths and illnesses caused by drug-resistant bacteria. With the passage of SB27, which Gov. Jerry Brown is expected to sign by Sunday, California would be the first state in the nation to outlaw the routine use of human antibiotics in livestock. Supporters say it could have a wide-ranging influence. "California is a big agricultural state, and it often is a bellwether for the nation. We often see the FDA following suit or other states following suit," said Elisa Odabashian of Consumers Union, a supporter of the bill, speaking of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Sales of medically important antibiotics to livestock producers went up 20 percent from 2009 to 2013, according to the FDA, just as Americans have become increasingly concerned by their use. According to research conducted for the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance, 48 percent of consumers are "uncomfortable" with antibiotic use in animal production, and 53 percent of consumers frequently wonder if the food they buy is safe. Currently, livestock producers across the country can purchase over-the-counter antibiotics in the form of feed, injections and pills. In what's called subtherapeutic antibiotic use, low daily or routine doses of antibiotics can be used to promote growth, which reduces feed costs. Antibiotics can also be routinely added to feed or water to help prevent disease or to directly treat an infection...more

The Reproduction 1950 Dubrovnik Bobby Fischer Chess Set in Ebony / Box Wood - 3.6" King
- Product Review (submitted on June 9, 2016):
I decided to get this set, having several 'Dubrovniks' already, because the proportions of the individual pieces, particularly the bishops and knights, are closest to the originals. In the newer sets, the knights and bishops are the same height. The rooks could be fatter.
I had the red set, now out of stock, which I sold to a friend. That was a great set I used a lot.
I'm sure I will use this new set just as much at home and the club,

|Work Package 2: Detail
Impact of diseases and pain on animal welfare
WP 2 will use a combination of surveys and experimental data collection to assess relationships between animal welfare and some commonly occurring painful conditions with a special focus on behavioural and physiological indicators of pain and discomfort. In addition to the welfare measures developed by WP 1 for routine on-farm use, WP 2 will use an experimental approach also investigating more in-depth biomarkers of pain that might not be suitable for routine welfare assessment. The species included in the experimental studies of this WP are goats, sheep and horses. Research teams from Edinburgh (UK), Cambridge (UK), Lisbon (Portugal) and Brandenburg (Germany) will cover the following subtasks:
In all experimental studies, a multidisciplinary approach will be used combining clinical assessment of disease, behaviour, and physiological responses to determine the most appropriate pain indicators for the range of conditions and situations studied. The outcomes of these studies will contribute to the development and refinement of welfare assessment protocols for these species developed in WP1.
Detailed information
WP 2.1 Assessing attitudes and knowledge towards pain and diseases
Online surveys will be carried out by a research team based at the Scottish Agricultural College in Edinburgh (UK) among European veterinarians, animal science experts and producers using web based instruments. In the survey instrument 15-20 diseases/conditions will be presented to veterinarians affiliated to the European Veterinary Association, animal science experts, producers and relevant stakeholders, with pictures or videos, to collected information, using visual analogue scale (VAS) to assess the perceived level of pain associated with the conditions. The pain assessment score will be used for training purposes, will cover horses, donkeys, sheep, goats and turkeys, and will be incorporated into the WP4 (global hub for animal welfare).
WP 2.2 Welfare consequences of painful diseases in sheep
A research group based at the University of Cambridge Veterinary School (UK) will be examining the relationship between sheep diseases and animal welfare, focusing on behavioural and physiological indicators of pain and discomfort. The diseases involved are: foot-rot, mastitis and pregnancy toxaemia. The attitudes of stakeholders towards pain and diseases in sheep will be evaluated. The project will promote a better understanding of the role of diseases in compromising animal welfare.
Clinically sound and foot-rot diagnosed sheep will be studied. Animals will be assessed clinically and for behaviour, with blood samples taken for assay of physiological markers of pain. The lame animals will then be treated by foot trimming, topical antibiotic and/or foot bathing, half of the lame animals will receive non-steroidal anti-inflammatory treatment.
Sheep with mastitis will be studied. The severity of mastitis will be graded clinically, and the causative agent established by bacterial culture. Treatment with systemic antibiotic and NSAID will be used in all clinical cases. Survival rates of dams and offspring, and effect on body condition will be recorded.
Sheep with pregnancy toxaemia will be studied. Treatment with intravenous glucose and oral gluconeogenic agents will be used in clinical cases. Survival rates of dams and offspring, and effect on body condition will be recorded.
In all three diseases whereas possible the animals will be reassessed clinically, behaviourally and blood sampled again at 3 months and at 6 months following the initial intervention. The organization of the neuroendocrine system in animals from any of the studies, which die or are euthanised will be assessed for biomarkers of pain.
WP 2.3 Genetic determination of the susceptibility to foot-rot in sheep
The research group based at the Scottish Agricultural College in Edinburgh (UK) will address the question if animal welfare could be improved by eradication of foot-rot, a common and painful condition in sheep, on the basis of genetic selection. A case-control design with foot-rot as a binomial trait in sheep will be used. Animals that have foot-rot within a given herd will be matched with animals within the same herd and age that do not have foot-rot. A whole genome association study will be conducted to identify gene loci associated with susceptibility to foot-rot.
WP 2.4 Welfare consequences of painful diseases in goats
A research group based at the University of Lisbon (Portugal) will study pain associated to some common diseases such as lameness, mastitis and pregnancy toxemia in goats. Pain is an acknowledged consequence of some of these conditions but is usually disregarded when they are treated, so pragmatic analgesic protocols for pain mitigation will be assessed.
Lameness in dairy goats is generally caused by arthritis and injuries, but the pain and discomfort caused by overgrown and deformed claws is not known. In the lameness study, it is the objective to establish an easy and applicable scoring chart, essentially using walking and gait changes. Feet inflammation will be assessed in animals with overgrown claws by using a thermograph and the correlation of the results with behavior signs and production data will be investigated. Finally different pain management protocols, including claw trimming, will be compared.
Although mastitis is not a common disease in goats, it is sometimes a welfare problem because it may cause pain, toxemia and death. Traditionally mastitis is treated with antimicrobials but pain has never been considered as an important feature. The study will focus on the question if pain is really an issue and if recovery is quicker and better when analgesics are given.
Pregnancy toxaemia is a disease characteristic of small ruminants that severely affects the welfare of both dam and fetuses. It is relatively common in pregnant goats feeding in very poor pastures or very fat pregnant dairy goats kept in intensive systems. This is a systemic condition but swelling of the distal parts of all limbs is a common feature, causing lameness and pain. There are already studies that indicate flunixin-meglumin as an advantage for the treatment of this disease but it is not known if this is due to its analgesic effect or other. Ways to evaluate the welfare of affected animals, including the role of pain and fetuses survival, will be studied by assessing behaviour and blood parameters in affected animals treated or not with analgesics.
WP 2.5 Welfare consequences of painful diseases in horses
A research team based at Havelland Equine Hospital in Brandenburg (Germany) will be examining the impact of laminitis, a common and painful orthopedic disease in horses, on animal welfare.
The aim of a preliminary study with horses suffering from acute laminitis is to investigate the correlations between the pain assessment protocol developed in WP1, the standard clinical examination protocol and selected physiological parameters such as heart rate variability, plasma and fecal biomarkers of pain. This study will be conducted with horses suffering from acute bouts of laminitis, which have not previously been treated. The horses will be studied immediately before onset of treatment and at day two and seven after the onset of a standardized anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving therapy.
The aim of the main part of this study is to address the hypothesis that even in chronic and less obvious cases of laminitis an appropriate treatment may substantially improve the animal's state of well being. Only parameters that proofed to detect differences in pain levels during the preliminary study, will be used in horses suffering from less severe, chronic laminitis . Animals will be subjected to routine orthopedic hoof shoeing and will be examined and blood sampled before treatment (basal) as well as at day five and day twenty-five post treatment.
WP 2.6 Welfare consequences of routine but painful on-farm procedures: disbudding of goat kids and castration of horse stallions
For the goat disbudding study the Portuguese research team based at the University of Lisbon will use 10 to 15 day old kids disbudded with thermocautery to compare different analgesic protocols with local anesthesia, non-steroidal-anti-inflammatory drugs and sedatives. Each study, using animals divided in control and treated groups, will look at intensity and amplitude of the kids vocalization, pain related behaviours such as head shaking and limb movements and plasma biomarkers of pain.
The team based at Havelland Equine Hospital in Germany will address the question whether the administration of pain relieving drugs after castration of stallions has a positive effect on the animals' state of well-being. Equine stallions referred to the clinic for surgical castration will be randomly divided into two groups: one group will undergo the surgical procedure under general anesthesia without additional pain-relieving therapy, the other group will be treated with peri- and post-operative administration of analgesic drugs. All horses will be studied before the surgical intervention (basal) and three subsequent days following castration using the pain assessment protocol developed and validated by WP1 as well as some more in-depth physiological parameters such as heart rate variability, blood and fecal biomarkers of pain.
