4. Problem
Why the EZ wire mesh cable trays have get rusty? Because the get rusty cable tray have less than 5um zinc coating ,but Vichnet EZ wire mesh cable trays more than 12um zinc coating.
5. Story
At the early days of Vichnet, due to lack of experiences in the field. And at that time, we only focus on the services, focus on the delivery time, and not did not pay attention to the thickness for the wire mesh cable trays. We made a mistaken which almost caused a bad result. Because of the cable tray marketing standard in China, the thickness of coating of electro-galvanized we produced only 4-5μ at the beginning. However , we knew that the international standard is 12μ at least, which influenced our company's reputation and product's quality. In Apr, one of our Australasian client confirmed a order with us, who placed a one 40HQ wire mesh cable tray, and when we produced their wire mesh cable trays goods, and the thickness was only about 5μ. After the Australasian client received the good from us, and found that the thickness of the coating for electro-galvanized wire mesh cable trays only have about 5μ, they are very angry with us about it, and ask us why? Finally, even asked for return these cargo. After this accident, our Vichnet understand the importance of product's quality. Now, our cable tray has passed the Germany Zinc thickness test to guarantee the thickness of coating of electro-galvanized is more than 12μ. And we now sell our goods to all over the world, even in Japan market.

correction appended, Sep 17
In an attempt to make its medical program more accessible, McGill has dropped the popular Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) for applicants to the Faculty of Medicine.
At the end of July of this year, the McGill Faculty of Medicine announced that all Canadian applicants with degrees from Canadian universities would no longer be required to submit a MCAT score.
The MCAT is a standardized test administered by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), accepted at schools throughout Canada and the United States.
The test has been criticized for limiting the number of francophones applying to medical schools, as the test is administered exclusively in English.
Saleem Razack, the Assistant Dean of Admissions at McGill's Centre for Medical Education, says that requiring applicants to write the MCAT can be a deterrent for francophones looking to enter medical school, as some have a hard time with the verbal reasoning section of the test.
"The changes are to get at all the excellent qualities of applicants," explained Razack. "We want to eliminate all barriers."
According to a 2010 class profile published by the McGill Faculty of Medicine, 92 per cent of the 175 students who were admitted to the faculty in 2010 were residents of Quebec, but only 27.8 per cent identified as francophone.
"We have social accountability obligations, [in particular] where we fit in the local context," Razack said.
Of the 17 medical schools in Canada, the six schools that do not require MCAT results, with the exception of McMaster University, are francophone or bilingual universities: the University of Ottawa, Université de Montréal, Université Laval, Université de Sherbrooke, and now McGill.
Victoria Bentley, a prospective medical student currently in the Faculty of Science at McGill, argued that the test levelled the playing field.
"The MCAT aims to provide a standardized assessment of a student's knowledge of scientific concepts, ability to think logically, and work under stress (a lot of stress)," Bentley wrote in an email. "It's designed so that any two students of equal ability should reproducibly get the same mark. It's supposed to silence any statistical noise."
Harold Reiter, the Admissions Chair of the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine at McMaster University, further explained the use of the MCAT. "Each on its own (GPA or MCAT) are valuable predictors of future performance," he said in an email. "And combined they are even more predictive."
McMaster does use the verbal reasoning section of the MCAT, but not other parts of the test.
Bentley seconded Reiter's concerns. "The MCAT's real value is that it judges all students with a uniform set of criteria," she said. "GPAs from different schools mean different things, and even within one school it's harder to get As in some classes more so than others."
"Now that McGill has dropped the MCAT, it's going to have to place more emphasis on GPA, which is not necessarily fair to all candidates from various academic backgrounds," Bentley continued.
But Reiter conceded that the MCAT alone cannot determine the quality of applicants. "No tool will provide perfect overall test reliability (the ability to reproducibly differentiate between applicants) nor predictive validity," he said.
"Ideally, having multiple tests to look at any one domain (e.g. cognitive ability) is advantageous in diluting out the biases inherent in any one test."
"The MCAT needs to be put in its place," said Razack. "[It is] only one of the tools in our armamentarium."
Razack attempted to quell concerns that McGill's Faculty of Medicine would lose prestige because of the changes to its applications standards.
"This medical school is incredibly competitive to get into and will likely continue to be that way," he said. "We've been accepting applications since September 1, and, though it is early to tell, the stats [on number of applicants] are up 165 per cent compared to this time last year."
in an earlier version of this article Saleem Razack was quoted as saying, "This is a far preferable outcome than having all institutions ignore their local stakeholders and result in the same cookie-cutter admissions process at every medical school." In fact, Harold Reiter said this. The Daily regrets the error.

A buyers' guide
Buying a property can be extremely difficult, especially if you don't know how the process works, you don't have a clue about the marketplace you are searching in or you haven't bought for a long period of time. Let us give you some advice;
1: Ask an agent – There are such creatures as Buyers' Agents and they will be able to assist you with your purchase. These people normally cost a small fee that is negotiated between yourself and the agent however they can generally negotiate a better asking price due to their local market expertise. If you don't want to employ a Buyers' Agent, then seek the help of a trusted Agent who can conjunct with another that you may not feel confident working with. This doesn't cost you anything but it will allow them to achieve a fee for service by assisting the listing agent in selling their property (any decent Agent will share their commission to achieve a good result for their vendor in a shorter period of time).
2: Conduct your own research – Knowledge is power these days, and there are so many places to seek the information you require. A good start is the internet or investment journals which are normally based on statistics. If it isn't too far, take a trip to the area that you are looking to purchase in so you can get a feel for the demographic, culture, livelihood, development and investment potential within the suburb. Failing that, join local chat sites and ask: the locals will always tell you the truth!
3: We are not saying you don't have to pay for costly reports but….. – You don't need to pay for investment printouts as the most accurate source of real estate information is Landgate and REIWA. Your Real Estate professional can provide you with a printed summary of current listings, recent sales and rentals within the area direct from these agencies. These sources collate data from all of the properties listed and sold in WA as reported through legal means. There are plenty of companies that claim to do the same but will cost you an arm and a leg. Why not let us do the hard work for you!
4: Once you find "The One" – A home is one of the most important assets that you will ever purchase, it's not like buying a pair of shoes that if they don't fit you can take them back. If your home doesn't fit you can take it back but it's guaranteed you will lose a huge amount of time, not to mention wasted money with fees such as stamp duty that you would have just paid. When you find the one, you will get the feeling straight away. Whether that be excitement, happiness or downright knowledge that this is the invesmtent for you. No home will ever be 100% perfect even if you do build it, you will need to visualise the things that can be changed to suit you, your family or your lifestyle within your set budget. When you know, it's time to engage your Agent to take you through writing the offer on the property. An offer is a legal document and by law, it is required that every section be explained to you prior to signing and a copy of the Joint Form of General Conditions is provided to you at the time (this is the rulebook regarding buying and selling real estate). If you are unsure or need some support, take a friend or family member with you to write the offer.
5: Offer negotiation – The offer can be accepted, declined or countered and the agent should convey the result verbally and in writing to minimise any misunderstandings of the outcome. If the offer is low and the Seller feels it worthwhile to commence negotiations they may provide a counter offer. You have the opportunity to respond at this point . You also have the same rights as the Seller. Remember, it is the Seller's home and whilst you are looking to achieve a bargain, they are looking to achieve a fair market price for their home. If the initial offer is acceptable, or the negotiation of an offer ends in an offer being accepted, the finer contract details and special conditions are carried out. For example, submitting the deposit, carrying out the building and pest inspections and obtaining your finance. If an offer is declined you have the choice to walk away or write another more suitable offer that can be agreed upon.
6: Offer through to settlement – On acceptance of an offer you will need to nominate a Settlement Agent, their role is to ensure all of the contract details are met by both buyer and seller and to liaise with agencies such as Landgate and Financial Instituions to ensure that transfer of the titles occur and all fees are paid at settlement. In most cases you are able to nominate a Settlement Agent to represent you however some brokers and agents have specified people that they would like you to work with. If this is the case, make sure their fees are decent. All special conditions that are attached to the contract must be met and the final inspection can be conducted as per the Joint Form of General Conditions, unless otherwise specified in the contract. The final inspection is your last chance to get into the home and check gas, electrical and plumbing prior to the property becoming yours.
7: Congratulations the property is yours! – Following settlement, the home will officially be yours. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have appropriate insurance to cover your home and contents where required. Whilst the Agent may be able to liaise with the Seller with certain questions that you may have following settlement, they have no rights or obligations to act on anyone's behalf after the settlement date.

Many traditional buildings, including temples, shrines, and townhouses, remain in Kyoto, an ancient capital of Japan. Higashi Honganji Temple, which enshrines the goshin-ei (portrait) of Saint Shinran, the founder of the Shinshu sect Otani school, is located in the north of Kyoto Station. The Shinran Koryu-kan was built next to the Temple in the north to transmit St. Shinran's teachings of throughout Japan and overseas.
The appearance of this two-story building with a traditional tiled roof and low-height deep eaves utilizes the frontage that stretches approximately 55 meters to the east and west to attach importance to the long beautiful horizontal line of the eaves, thus providing a friendly atmosphere. Furthermore, this deep-depth building has a small courtyard with Japanese natural stones that guide light and wind, while the trees there show the passage of the seasons and decorate the courtyard with tinted leaves in autumn. The plane that surrounds the courtyard represents an image of followers forming a ring, helping each other, and learning St. Shinran's teachings. Various activities are seen from the courtyard that serves as a place of good communication. The research and administrative rooms on the second floor, in particular, surrounding the courtyard keeps the slope of the tiled roof as it is on the ceiling to make a wide space that leads natural light through the high windows and courtyard.
The straight staircase connecting the first and second floors consists of horizontally stacked cedar plates compared to the long history of the Temple. The stair treads of the staircase protrude from the stacked cedar plates, the ends of which are slung with thin reinforcing bars, while the skylight illuminates the wall and stairs with natural light, thus creating an impressive space. The building uses laminated furniture, including benches, harmonized with the architectural space.
Originally established as the interior design department of NIKKEN SEKKEI LTD, Nikken Space Design (NSD) has more than 60 years of experience in the field. As a part of the Nikken group since 1994, NSD now works not only with Nikken Sekkei but is also in partnership with various architects and artists. With 60 highly experienced designers, NSD is currently working on numerous design projects for Japanese and international clients.

|Subject: as a species, we kind of suck.
|Now, if I felt like being upbeat and optimistic, I would tell you that humans may suck and disappoint you in numerous ways but there is still a beauty and a mystery to them. Today however, I'm not in that mood. I am in the humans upset me, they are fundamentally flawed mood.
I work in an office full of women, women who are catty and two faced for the most part. None of them just want to do their job and do it well, they always want to snitch on someone or point out someones mistake and make it seem catastrophic, when really it was just the size of a paper-cut. It's not like the world ended over it.
When I work, I like to do my job and do it well, I don't want to deal with all the drama that women bring. (And men sometimes too!) I just want to work. I want to take care of patients, I want to put all my energy into them because isn't that what healthcare is all about? I also always strive to be better at my job, not saying that I always give it 100% of my attention but I try my best to do it well.
At all the other jobs I've been at, I've always been attacked for that. People feel threatened by me, which to me is the equivalent of being threatened by a bunny. Or a penguin. I just don't understand it. I don't understand how humans work. Are we really that scared that we protect ourselves so much we sacrifice relationships with those around us? Is it really that difficult?
I honestly think in order to be a functional human being in this world, you have to be able to let go and trust that God, the universe, the god of cake, what say you, will take care of you. I actually read somewhere that those who survive evolution are those who are most adaptive to change, to movement, to fluidity.
Be free and let go. Fall into the abyss. Just let it go.

Since everyone is telling stories about their childhood and I have plenty even though no one knows me...my childhood was filled with games and laughter...
I have an older brother (by 1 yr) and a younger sister (by 4). My Dad was in the Air Force so we traveled a lot. At this time we were in Spokane Wa. I was in the 4th grade and my dad was overseas in Germany. My mom was taking care of us by herself. Her main priority at that time was clubbing. She was ALWAYS at the club. We were always alone.
We all know that in those days kids were left by themselves a lot and it wasn't a big deal. Well..we were alone at night and had no bedtime so we made up a few games. My poor little sister (who had to have been about 5 yrs old then) was always the object of our "fun".
1st game: Darts!
1) one long hallway
2) 3 doors (1 at the end and 2 across from each other near the end)
3) metal tipped darts
4) bandages
Here's how we played:
You tell the youngest person (who was my sister) to run from one of the doors to the other across the hall. The door at the end of the hall stays closed. She would run as fast as she could across the hall and we would throw the darts and they would land in the door. (occasionally a couple would hit her leg and I think 1 may have stuck one time).
She lives to tell the tale.
This game was varied a little depending on the weather. On nice days we would go outside and play 'lawn darts'....except she was the target.
2nd game: "Frostbite".
This game could only be played during the winter. (there must be snow on the ground)
Same place (Spokane, Wa). This time we targeted my older brother.
This is how you play:
First, you fill the tub with hot water. Then you step in (barefoot of course) and make a mad dash out of the house through the front door and run completely around the house (making sure you are running in the snow...no cheating). Then run back into the house and jump into the tub so your feet can get warm again. We all had a turn and we were on our second round when my sister and I (well...it was mostly my idea cause she was still 5) decided to lock my brother out of the house during his turn.
Oooooohhhh...he was mad. his banging on the door didn't make me want to open it up in any kind of hurry.
He lives to tell the tale.
3rd game: Bites
This game involves a Doberman Pincher (we had one)
A sheet (color not important) fitted was better.
You may need bandages here too..
Here's how you play:
You get the smallest person (which was my sister again) to lay on a sheet on the floor (hardwood preferably for better gliding and sliding). Then you have the dog ready and watching. You start dragging the person on the sheet and when she gets near the dog...you scratch the dog's belly (apparently these dogs don't liked their tummys rubbed or scratched). The dog would chase after her and you run like hell pulling the sheet (and her) while the dog is snapping at the victim on the sheet.
Those are only a few games we played...
Those were the days.
Such joy and fun.
I know, I know...we must be pretty delusional.
We were kids.

We had so much fun with our team on our annual RT Fun Day! The day started with a trip to Klyde Warren Park in Dallas where we played frisbee, ping-pong, golf and more while enjoying the beautiful Texas weather.
Next, we broke into teams for an awesome scavenger hunt through downtown Dallas. Each team was given a set of clues they had to find and then document by posting photos or videos directly to their Instagram accounts.
The scavenger hunt went all through Klyde Warren Park and even took us into the Dallas Museum of Art and the Nasher Sculpture Center. Team members had to do things like take a video in front of a random painting in the DMA and create art in the interactive section of the museum, all while racing through the halls as fast as possible (without running) to complete the assigned tasks. Other tasks included making a human pyramid, playing a board game with a stranger, and many other fun and random things!
After a great lunch of fried chicken at Chicken Scratch, we headed back to the RT office and concluded the day by watching, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" in the theater!
We had such a great day spending time with our team doing so many fun things. We can't wait until RT Fun Day comes around again!

Interview by Chloe Goodrum ...
I was just wondering what your stance on music piracy is?
I believe I'm in the minority amongst working musicians who don't mind music piracy. There are loads of reasons, the music business/industry is full of talentless people reaping the monetary benefits of working with certain artists, some talented, some not so, and then bleeding artists, and loyal fans alike, dry.
I think we're all the blame for the failings and current instability of the music industry, artist have become lazy and apathetic blinded by the belief that they need a record deal or certain management to succeed and make a living making music, it's not all about selling records.
I like music piracy in that to a certain extent it democratises a lot of things, we can get all the music we want, and an independent artist can have his or her or their music listened to by as many people as a major record label act. The main factor for me though is it forces artists to perform live more in order to benefit from making music, and if you can't do it live and you can't cut it then, to speak metaphorically, the cream will always rise to the top.
If the hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of pounds spent each year by governments to aid mega industries and corporations in an attempt to curb music piracy was spent elsewhere we would still have beautiful music all around us everywhere. Music is not about money, it is about love, beauty, truth and existence. Before money existed we had music, so I believe it will outlive money too and this debate will be dead along with it.
Do you think it helps or hinders the spread of your music?
Helps massively, if someone wants my music that much and they can find an outlet for getting hold of it for free, then fair play to them.
And how does music piracy impact on you as an artist?
It doesn't really, it's something that record labels have promoted as a negative and with their tools of propaganda and publicisation have put it on the agenda as a killer of music and creativity. It is completely the opposite, I remember when 12" records came in a sleeve that said "Home Taping is Killing Music", and even then I thought not, home taping, copying CDs for your mates and illegally downloading is killing the music "industry", get on with it, Spread The Love !

|Craig Seymour
November 25, 1968
Washington, D.C., United States
|Writer, photographer, interviewer, professor
|Notable works
|All I Could Bare: My Life in the Strip Clubs of Gay Washington, D.C.
Craig Seymour (born November 25, 1968) is an American writer, photographer, celebrity interviewer, music critic and former stripper. He was born in Washington, D.C.. He has written for The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, Vibe, and Spin, among other publications, and has served as pop music critic for The Buffalo News and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He holds a Ph.D. in American Studies from the University of Maryland, College Park in College Park. Seymour was a professor of English at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and is now Associate Professor of Journalism at Northern Illinois University. He lives in Chicago.
He has interviewed and profiled some of the biggest names in music, including Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, and Luther Vandross, who granted him numerous interviews. Seymour has also been a music analyst for CNN's Headline News. He is a native of Washington, D.C.
Book — All I Could Bare[edit]
As a graduate student at the University of Maryland in the 1990s, Seymour started frequenting the strip clubs in Washington D.C. while writing his master's thesis: "Desire and Dollar Bills: An Ethnography of a Gay Male Striptease Club."[1] He used these experiences to write the book All I Could Bare: My Life in the Strip Clubs of Gay Washington, D.C. Seymour stated that stripping gave him the confidence he needed to interview big stars like Mariah Carey.[2] In an interview with Dallas Voice, Seymour credited his stripping career with "the ease I had asking celebrities extremely personal questions, especially those having to do with sex and relationships. After all, when someone is playing with your dick in public, it's not only potentially awkward for you, the one being played with, it can also be weird for the person doing the playing, because he is exposing his desires so nakedly in front of other people."[3]
Book — Luther: The Life and Longing of Luther Vandross[edit]
This book chronicles the life of singer and producer Luther Vandross, including his lifelong love of music and his infatuations with girl groups, particularly Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles and Dionne Warwick. Seymour includes mini-profiles of the many musicians who helped Vandross along his way.[4]
When Seymour pressed Vandross in a 2001 interview to open up about his sexuality, including rumours that he was gay,[5] Vandross told him "You're trying to zero in on something that you are never ever gonna get. Look at you, just circling the airport. You ain't never gonna land."[6]

Posting a 4-0 shutout against the potent Chicago Blackhawks, Semyon Varlamov definitely proved his worth as net minder of the Colorado Avalanche. In fact, over the previous three games Varly has played in he has proved that he has the potential to become the next great goaltender in hockey. With his stellar play, Varlamov has Avs fans reminiscing about Patrick Roy. Avalanche fans also hope the same holds true with Varly that happened with Roy's first year; a Stanley Cup Championship.
Colorado's defense this season has been rather shaky at times and very inconsistent. In recent games, Semyon Varlamov has single handedly bailed out his team many times. When Colorado fixes their defensive woes it will, in-turn, only make Varlamov better. The struggling defense of Colorado has put unnecessary and unwanted pressure on Varlamov, but he has stepped up his game and answered the challenge.
The last three games in which Varlamov has played (Phoenix, Los Angeles and Chicago) he has posted a .965 save percentage. In the game against the Kings he allowed one goal while stopping all other shots he faced in regulation, overtime and all three shots in the shootout. Varly followed that amazing performance with a shutout victory at the United Center against the Blackhawks. In fact, over the three previous games Varlamov has only allowed opponents to find the back of the net three times.
Since the departure of Roy, Colorado has struggled to find a goaltender that will perform at a consistent, high-level game after game. The Avalanche faithful feel that Varlamov may be the goalie to fit those needs. By bringing in Semyon Varlamov, Colorado is definitely looking toward the future. J.S. Giguere is nearing the end of his career and the front office is hoping Varlamov will be the net minder of the future for the Avalanche. If Varly continues to play like he is right now, Colorado will certainly rise again to the dominant hockey force they once were.

On Friday Dad and I went to get the cows in for their afternoon milking. As I was shutting the cows in the yard I saw a white cow go down at the back of the yard. I ran to find Dad to tell him that the white cow was down. "Oh she probably has got milk fever" he said. "So can you go get a bag of glucalphos out of the cupboard?" he asked me. What is milk fever? Milk fever (hypocalcaemia) is a metabolic disorder caused by not enough calcium. A metabolic disorder is when a cow doesn't get the energy that she needs from the foods that she eats. That means this cow has no energy and just collapsed and she can not get to her feet again. Dad, Jayda and I treated the white cow with glucalphos because she had milk fever. Dad put one needle in the vein in her neck and then put another needle in under the skin over her ribs. Next he hooked up the tubes to each needle and Jayda and I held a bag each of glucalphos to let the fluid go slowly into her body. After all the treatment had gone into the cows body we left her for a little while to rest and to let the medicine work. After about 10 minutes she got up a bit wobbly, so Dad and I put her in the paddock to rest and get better.
This is Jayda and me helping Dad treat the cow that has milk fever

Fun Photos from our Archive
by President Paul Schneider
Here is a selection of Random Shots we have highlighted here at the Museum. These are photos from our huge collection that we have found to be fun and provide us with a few moments of reflection.
We found this image online while searching through the USC digital library and it works well for this Fire Warden's edition of "Random Shot". This is the original Truck 8. In fact this is the first LA County Truck Company placed in service. Prior to our Department having a truck company certain engines carried extension ladders of up to 45' in length. Most of the areas our Department served did not have structures that could not be accessed by these ladders. A notable exception was the Hollywood/Sherman areas served by Engines 7 and 8.
It is hard to believe that our Department was nearly twenty-five years old before we finally placed a truck company in service. Then again it's hard to believe our Department was sixty-five years old before we bought a tiller truck but I digress. The first truck was Truck 8 and the second was Truck 27. These two trucks were built by American LaFrance and were of the mid mount variety which allowed for a good selection of wooden ground ladders, the longest of which was a 50' extension. Mid mount refers to the aerial being mounted directly behind the engine as opposed to the rear mount trucks that our Department operated exclusively from the early 1970s to 1989. Our "Snorkels" were also rear mounts.
The reason I chose this picture was not so much for the truck as for the kids on it. When I was a boot (I know OP, I'm still a boot to you) I remember the Captains referring to us new guys as kids. I just dismissed those comments as being what "old" guys just felt compelled to say. When we were beating the hell out of each other all night, the Captain's would just shake their heads and mutter "damn kids".
When we wore our dinner instead of ate it, "damn kids", when we poured out of the smoking ruins of a burned up building, smiling ear to ear, "damn kids", when we made each other laugh when we wanted to cry, "damn kids". Well now I'm the old guy and when I look at this picture I see my guys. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't love it.
by President, Paul Schneider
I like picking pictures from our archive that lend themselves to the interjection of some humor. This image fits that criteria quite well and also drives home an important fact that all current firefighters should take note of. Our as of yet unidentified firefighter from days gone by, decided to capture this moment in his career on film. What better backdrop than this rootbeer colored 1947 vintage "Woody" Chevrolet. I know of no other such vehicles used by our Department, but if there were others, I would sure like to hear about them. What a classic.
The "10-R-1" designates this vehicle as a "Recue". Rescues in this period of time were more akin to today's USAR missions than to medical. The equipment carried was geared toward physical recue needs. The most advanced medical equipment carried would have been an "inhalator" which was basically a positive pressure respiration device. This vehicle was housed at Fire Station 10, which at that time was located in the City of Downey, before that city formed its own department in 1957. Our firefighter has his pose all set but his "gig" line is a mess. The "gig" line is a line formed by the buttons of your shirt, your belt buckle and the front centerline or zipper of your pants. In the training tower we were rather harshly reminded to check our "gig" lines, so to this day I still do!
Another interesting detail is the man's white crew neck undershirt. For the last fifty plus years L.A. County Firefighters have worn white V-neck undershirts. Currently our uniform committee is looking into allowing navy blue crew neck undershirts to be worn. Personally I do not care for the new proposed policy as I would rather not look like other departments including many we took over. The current uniform committee may want to ask why our Department went to V-necks in the first place. It seems that the Department grew weary of having to demand that some among the ranks replace their grungy looking white crew neck undershirts resplendent with serious "ring around the collar" so they decided to eliminate the problem by changing our uniform policy and eliminating crew neck undershirts all together. Gone were the nasty looking crew necks and in were the V-necks that were not visible under the uniform shirt or jacket. History! Know it or be prepared to learn it the hard way!
Now when I started to write this article the whole uniform policy thing was not on my mind but developed along the way. What I want current firefighters to take note of is how Firefighters are Firefighters regardless of the time in history they serve. As proof I offer the knucklehead who has weaseled his way into the image. Look through the window of the vehicle over our subject firefighter's right shoulder. There he is. You know him, you may be him! I know I do and I have been. Getting your picture taken in front of the firehouse by your engine, truck, squad or rescue has always been risky. The only thing missing from this picture is the column of water coming from the "bucket brigade" covertly staged on the roof. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Here at the museum we have been sorting through the thousands of images we have scanned over the last few years. We will be sharing these with you through our newsletter and our website. I like this picture because it is just funny.
Rescue 18 has stalled at Jefferson and Centinela and needs to be push started. So instead of scratching the bumpers on Engine 58 or the rescue, the decision is made to place some padding between the two expensive vehicles and give it a try. So Fireman Albert L. Elliot is elected to serve as the padding, no doubt he didn't possess an advantageous seniority number. Apparently FIBOR (firefighters Bill of Rights) was not on anybodies minds in 1958. Not sure if this evolution produced the desired result but I am sure glad someone was grabbing some pictures instead of helping push.
Engine 58 is a 1954 Crown Firecoach. It is very similar to the Museum's 1955 model. A true "open cab", 365 days a year air conditioning and plenty of sunshine too. The '54 was the first year our Department purchased these great fire engines and a total of 131 or so would serve the County over the next 50 plus years. Where do I plug in my iPhone charger!!
Rescue 18 is a late 40s Ford Panel wagon similar to the 1947 Ford we have in the museum which was lovingly created to replicate Rescue 11 by the late Battalion Chief James O. Page. Rescues carried physical rescue tools, breathing apparatus, inhalators and very basic first aid gear among other items. Ah the good old days, no base stations!
Here is another image from the archive that makes me chuckle. This was Station 30 prior to 1937. Now I know we have a few houses in service to this day that are a bit tired, but this puts it all in perspective. Of particular interest is the state of the art flag "pole". The little fire engine is a 1925 REO Obenchain Boyer. We have one just like it in storage at our Southgate facility. Seven of these small engines were used in various districts of our early Department. These were the least expensive engines any of our districts purchased. The Department bought what they could afford and made the best of it. The REO in our collection is original Engine 31. No doubt this little house won no architectural awards, but it got the job done, I guess. I think I will try to remember this image the next time I complain about my station's AC being turned down to low!

Hello Lovelies ^^
So first of all, welcome to my blog if you happened to stumble upon this. You can call me Aria. Um... This is rather embarrassing, but I'm not really sure why I decided to blog. I guess it's just because it seemed like a lot of fun and I wanted to give it a try.
On that note, this blog really has nothing to do with cats. LOL You can see I'm trying really hard by posting the little cat pix on the side, but yeah, sorry to disappoint, but this has nothing to do with cats. (The Japanese word for cat is "Neko" for those that don't know)
So what will I be blogging about if not cats?
- Makeup Reviews (Asian & American, whatever cute finds I can get my hands on)
- Random Interests (Whatever they may be at the moment)
- My utterly depressing (& romance-less) life (Complaints! A lot of complaints! Why don't boys ever like me?!?!) (This will probably end up being a really pathetic blog. LOL I can see it already)

It was good to meet those of you who managed to make the World pork Expo in Iowa last week, we hope a good show was had by all. Just for interest, AP launched a great "in-line in-feed medicator" watch out for details coming to the site soon. It is a great piece of kit and will help save $$$!
The Pork Checkoff was celebrating certification programs at this years World Pork Expo, including the 15th anniversary of the Pork Quality AssuranceTM (PQA) Program. "The Pork Checkoff certification programs provide pork producers with tools they need," said Leon Sheets, a pork producer from Ionia, Iowa, and chair of the Pork Checkoff's Producer Education Committee.
When Hurricane Floyd hit North Carolina in 1999, the downpour caused lagoons of hog waste to overflow, which prompted interest in alternatives to lagoons. Researchers at North Carolina State University are evaluating 16 technologies to limit and treat hog waste. One idea is to eliminate the lagoon entirely, using solids, nitrogen and phosphorus removal technology, reports VOA News.
In China, the current development of hog production is evidently manifested in the prices of piglets. Increased enthusiasm for hog farming (fuelled by profitable finisher prices) has forced piglet prices to rise sharply in recent period. A survey conducted between January and June 2004 in Luzhou area of Sichuan province and Taigu area of Shanxi province showed that high demand had led to prices of piglets rising sharply from January to late April, according to eFeedLink.
Korean pork imports increased by more than 59 percent in the first five months of this year to 43,372 tons, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) announced last Monday. The rise is attributed to the outbreak of mad cow disease, which has scared consumers away from beef, an MAF official said.
New Zealand can expect to see a big increase in the value of its agricultural exports over the next three years, helped by a continuing drop in the value of the kiwi dollar from seven year highs earlier this year, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) analysts have said. However, the Minister said he expected wheat and pig meat prices to fall over the next 12 months.
Porcine Immunology: Lymphocyte development and maturation

Aerosol transmission of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSv).
By W. E. Morgan Morrow, NCSU Swine Extension - Dr. Robert Desrosiers of St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, delivered the prestigious Howard Dunne Memorial Lecture at the annual meeting of the American Association of Swine Veterinarians in Des Moines, Iowa, in March. His full lecture on "Epidemiology, Diagnosis, and Control of Swine Diseases" is available in the proceedings. Below are his comments on the aerosol transmission of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSv).
Driving Cost Out of the Production System
By Gary D. Dial, DVM, PhD, MBA, Janelle R. Roker, DVM, and Steven A. McWilliams, MS, Greenleaf Agribusiness Group and published by Prairie Swine Center - As recent history of the U.S. swine industry has evidenced, survival in today¡¯s uncertain economic times depends upon a pig production business having either (1) marketing agreements that provide complete price protection against prolonged declines in both carcass and meat prices or (2) competitively low costs of production along with a marketing agreement that at least dampens declines in market prices.

Europe can consider itself almost free from the contagious foot-and-mouth disease but must be remain vigilant - the FMD virus is stable in chilled products and can be transmitted through the movement of meat.
The FAO claimed today that Europe can consider itself almost free from the extremely contagious foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), after centuries of devastating epidemics that have caused tremendous losses.
However, the organisation, which made the announcement to mark the 50th anniversary of the European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease in Dublin/Ireland, called upon European countries to remain vigilant against possible outbreaks and to continue their support to neighbouring regions where the virus is still endemic.
The FMD virus is relatively stable in chilled products and can be transmitted through the - often illegal - movement of animals, animal products or meat. Cattle, buffaloes, pigs, sheep, goats and deer are susceptible to the virus. The risk of introducing the virus through illegal trade remains high, the UN agency warned.
"Europe has made remarkable progress against FMD over the last decades. Today, out of the 33 member countries of the Commission, 31 countries are free from FMD, while the virus remains endemic in Turkey and Israel," said Keith Sumption, Secretary of the Commission.
The last major FMD outbreak occurred in 2001, when a devastating epidemic affected the UK, with outbreaks also in Ireland, France and the Netherlands. A total of four million animals were slaughtered in the UK to control the spread of the disease. Losses to agriculture and tourism amounted to about $13 billion. The virus was probably imported from East or South-East Asia through animal products.

James "Jeeves" Murphy
When did you first become involved in a cappella? In what capacity?
Back in high school, I started singing with a barbershop quartet called GQ (The Gentlemen's Quartet). That was my first real experience singing a cappella music in an official capacity. I also sang with the Madrigal Singers at my school as well. So I got a few years of experience with both "classical" and "contemporary" a cappella genres before I hit college.
When did you first become involved with CASA?
I first became involved with CASA after meeting the former Maryland Ambassador back in 2003. He was singing with a co-ed group at Goucher College called Red Hot Blue, and I had invited him and the group to sing with my a cappella group, The UMBC Mama's Boys, at our seasonal concert. We met, geeked out a lot about a cappella, and we talked about CASA. Eventually, he would move back to NY and bestow the position on to me in 2005.
What area do you cover as a CASA ambassador?
I do my best to cover the state of Maryland as well as branching out to Virginia, DC, and Delaware. I've worked with groups as far west as Fredrick, far east as Salisbury, far north as Towson, and far south as Alexandria. It's a huge area with a very active a cappella community. So, as soon as they legalize cloning, I'll be good to go!
What role do you play as a CASA ambassador and/or what role would you like to play?
I tend to say that, as an ambassador, I'm just a really active a cappella fan! Lately, I've been trying to make contact with as many groups and people as I can to let them know I'm around and available for whatever their needs are. I try to support groups by going to their shows whenever possible. I've also done some coaching as well. That being said, I have some plans for Maryland area a cappella, and I can't do it without the help of the groups I'm here to serve! I've recently started blogging on my personal website about what's going on in the MD/DC/VA, but I'm only one person and can't get to every show around the area. I'd like to recruit a couple of people to help blog about what's going on (write, take pictures, take video, etc.). I'd like to have a place where MD/DC/VA groups can go to see what concerts are coming up in the area OR so that groups touring in the area can see some shows they can attend/perform at. I'd like to have a forum where these groups can go and discuss arrangements, rehearsal strategies, etc. I want to help build the best a cappella community right here on the East Coast - right here in Maryland!
What do you do for work and play?
For money, I'm currently working full-time as an ITS Engineer for a security company in Maryland and studying at UMUC part-time for a Masters degree in Information Assurance. For play, I'm an instrumentalist as well as a singer. I play bass guitar, keyboard/piano, cajon and am learning guitar. I keep up my a cappella blog and also write for CASA on occasion. Lately, I've been getting my money's worth of Netflix. I love to cook to de-stress, try a new wine, and long walks on the beach.
Tell us one thing about yourself people would be surprised to learn
As far as singing goes, people are usually surprised about my voice. I sing high-tenor, though I've been asked if I'm actually a countertenor. I've sung with co-ed groups before and I tend to have a higher range than most of my female counterparts in those groups.
Other than that, people are usually surprised by what I studied in school. I was an English Literature major. That's right... I'm a Lit Major musician who works as an IT guy during the day. Sounds like a really crappy super hero comic book!
Favorite a cappella group?
I change favorites here and there depending on new recordings that come out, but I always say my all-time favorite is and will always be Rockapella. It was Rockapella's album "Lucky Seven" that originally turned me on to contemporary a cappella music back in high school. The song? "Lisa, I Love You." I'm sure it didn't hurt that I had a crush on a girl named Lisa at the time, but that's another story!
Favorite type of music?
Would it be stupid to put A cappella here? I appreciate all music, I like most music, I love some music, but a cappella, for some reason, touches me in a much different way than any other genre.
Favorite a cappella concert?
Wow... I've seen a lot of great concerts - ICCAs, Harmony Sweeps, college shows, professional gigs. My first ever concert was a highlight - October 20, 2001, I was at a free outdoor concert with Rockapella for the re-opening of the Walters Art Museum. But I think the BEST show I've ever seen would have to be the Swingle Singers at VoCALnation 2011. Four standing ovations, the 1812 Overture a cappella, me being moved to tears, all while forcing me to question my ability as a singer! haha It was an absolutely amazing experience!
Anything you'd like the CASA readership to know about your area?
There is a huge a cappella community in the MD/DC/VA area, and it is one of the best communities I've ever had the fine pleasure of being a part of. We have some amazing pro and semi-pro groups, and some of the best college groups on the circuit! I'm really proud to be the CASA ambassador of Maryland and will do everything I can to help make this state the best place for a cappella on the East Coast!

Hi, Jeeves!
I'm one of the codirectors for Manchoir, the men's a cappella group at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, VA. In the past two years, we've placed in the SingStrong high school competition in Reston, VA. This year, we won second place.
Do you ever visit schools to coach groups? I think that'd be a great experience for Manchoir.

Iowa Porn Law Gets Tough New Changes
DES MOINES, Iowa —
Gov. Terry Branstad has signed into law a measure toughening Iowa's child pornography and human trafficking laws to make it easier to get convictions.
Branstad signed the measure Wednesday before a crowd of child advocates in a ceremony in his formal office.
Attorney General Tom Miller says the measure will clear away a number of complications. For example, one court ruling had found that in cases involving a number of images, only one child pornography charge could be filed.
The measure signed by the governor allows one charge per victim.
Critics had warned that years of court decisions and vague laws often made it difficult to bring charges in cases of child pornography or human trafficking.

One thing that Google is still considering is whether its ad-blocker will only block the offending ads or if it will block all advertising that appears on sites with these unacceptable ads.
The first thought with this is that it very much seems like such a feature would cause Google to lose money, seeing how much of its business is based on ads thanks to Adsense.
The Chrome browser now accounts for a large portion of web-browsing globally, so switching on ad-filters within it could give Google more control over the ad-blocking situation, industry observers say.
It's rumored that Google could announce its built-in Chrome ad-blocker in the coming weeks, though it's possible that Google could also decide to abandon its project.
Those types of ads (defined expertly by The Coalition for Better Ads) are the ones we all hate: they play audio (loudly) as soon as you land on a page, or are the ads with countdown timers on them, and possibly the worst - the ads that have the hidden buttons to close them.
Google is reportedly planning to integrate an ad-blocker into its Chrome web browser - a move that would present some interesting implications for digital advertising companies, online publishers, and for Google itself. It would filter out only the ads Google deems unacceptable. The WSJ reports that Google doesn't love the deals it often has to make with third-party blockers like Adblock Plus, which require payment of fees in some cases to whitelist ads by companies like Google who are willing to pay for the privilege of working around their filters. Adsense ads would presumably remain, thus continuing the revenue stream for Google. Already browsers like Opera come with an ad blocker pre-installed.
In other words, site owners may be required to ensure all of their ads meet the standards, or could see all advertising across their sites blocked in Chrome. To beat the ad blockers, Google must become an ad blocker.

LG Chem launches a suite of batteries for US residential storage market
LG Chem is the latest company to vie for a share of the North American residential energy storage market. Mercedes-Benz is also entering the market, already occupied by big names like Tesla and Sonnen.
LG already has ample experience in the U.S. storage market as a battery supplier for other companies. In 2015, for instance, it signed a deal to supply 1 GW of batteries to AES, helping fuel the company's build of long-duration batteries in California.
The residential market is another beast, however, requiring companies to appeal directly to end consumers. To get a toehold, LG Chem announced last fall it would enter the market through a partnership with solar installer Sunrun.
The roll-out began with Sunrun offering LG Chem batteries as part of its Brightbox residential solar-plus-storage system to residents of Hawaii.

I am especially enthusiastic about Representation2020, a project of FairVote that advocates for women's parity in government. Women are extremely underrepresented in both our state and federal legislatures. This is a problem because women provide perspectives on policy that men are unable to and these perspectives need to be heard. I'm interested in parity for women because I believe that since women make up more than half the country it is crucial they are given the opportunity to govern as such. I am excited to work towards parity these next couple months in order to help the voice of women be heard in our government.

Ave Caesar Imperator, moriturum te saluto.
O Death, a little more, and then the worm;
A little longer, O Death, a little yet,
Before the grave gape and the grave-worm fret;
Before the sanguine-spotted hand infirm
Be rottenness, and that foul brain, the germ
Of all ill things and thoughts, be stopped and set;
A little while, O Death, ere he forget,
A small space more of life, a little term;
A little longer ere he and thou be met,
Ere in that hand that fed thee to thy mind
The poison-cup of life be overset;
A little respite of disastrous breath,
Till the soul lift up her lost eyes, and find
Nor God nor help nor hope, but thee, O Death.
Shall a man die before his dying day,
Death? and for him though the utter day be nigh,
Not yet, not yet we give him leave to die;
We give him grace not yet that men should say
He is dead, wiped out, perished and past away.
Till the last bitterness of life go by,
Thou shalt not slay him; till those last dregs run dry,
O thou last lord of life! thou shalt not slay.
Let the lips live a little while and lie,
The hand a little, and falter, and fail of strength,
And the soul shudder and sicken at the sky;
Yea, let him live, though God nor man would let
Save for the curse' sake; then at bitter length,
Lord, will we yield him to thee, but not yet.
Hath he not deeds to do and days to see
Yet ere the day that is to see him dead?
Beats there no brain yet in the poisonous head,
Throbs there no treason? if no such thing there be,
If no such thought, surely this is not he.
Look to the hands then; are the hands not red?
What are the shadows about this man's bed?
Death, was not this the cupbearer to thee?
Nay, let him live then, till in this life's stead
Even he shall pray for that thou hast to give;
Till seeing his hopes and not his memories fled
Even he shall cry upon thee a bitter cry,
That life is worse than death; then let him live,
Till death seem worse than life; then let him die.
O watcher at the guardless gate of kings,
O doorkeeper that serving at their feast
Hast in thine hand their doomsday drink, and seest
With eyeless sight the soul of unseen things;
Thou in whose ear the dumb time coming sings,
Death, priest and king that makest of king and priest
A name, a dream, a less thing than the least,
Hover awhile above him with closed wings,
Till the coiled soul, an evil snake-shaped beast,
Eat its base bodily lair of flesh away;
If haply, or ever its cursed life have ceased,
Or ever thy cold hands cover his head
From sight of France and freedom and broad day,
He may see these and wither and be dead.
