Four-sided planer moulders fall within the group of woodworking machines that require employers to carry out a risk assessment to find out if they need to fit brakes. However, Woodworking Information Sheet No. 38 PUWER 98: Retrofitting of braking to woodworking machines advises that the only reason for not fitting brakes would be if there was no added benefit. An example of this would be if the machine was in an enclosure with interlocked doors, where the interlocks prevented the doors being opened until the cutters had come to rest, using either a time delay or a stop/motion sensor.
Woodworking Information Sheet No.40 Safe use of four sided moulding machines provides good reasons for braking to be fitted:
In summary, four-sided planer moulders should normally be braked as they will then be safer and can be stopped and reset quickly so there will be less time lost. In addition, if a tool breaks, stopping the machine quickly will reduce the amount of damage that takes place.
On older machines fitted with a "wooden box" type enclosure simple locks and bolts will not prevent access to the enclosure with the machine running unless braking has been fitted and employees are trained and instructed to operate the brake and stop the machine before entering.
As a standard, machines should have an enclosure and braking should be fitted. In some cases interlocks on doors linked to the braking may also be beneficial. However, this will be dependant on the machines characteristics and system of work that must be employed with it, particularly for setting (see Q.3).
During setting it is a requirement for the heads to be running as the trial piece of material is 'inched through' the machine and the cutters are correctly adjusted.
Old machines may not have the remote setting /adjusting mode of newer machines and in some cases cutter adjustment must take place locally. Where an enclosure has been fitted the setter therefore has to work inside it. In these circumstances, if interlocks were fitted to the doors they would have to be closed to allow the machine to run. The setter would therefore be required to work alone inside the sealed enclosure and this could increase the safety risk. In addition, there will also be a higher exposure to noise and dust. This is why careful consideration is needed before fitting interlocks on the enclosure doors. Other options, such as a lock with controlled key access, may be more appropriate.
During setting operations it is very important that all cutters have been effectively guarded and this is normally achieved in two ways:
The normal expectation is that guards are fitted and closed during setting. However, on some of the older machines setters have reported that they need to be able to actually see the cutters during final adjustment and have been known to have the hood guards in the open position during setting. If this practice is identified during the risk assessment and confirmed to be an actual requirement then additional mesh guards must be fitted between the hood guard and the cutters. They should be designed to allow observation of the cutters during setting but be able to prevent any risk of contact with the cutters. They must also only be able to be opened or removed by a specialist tool. Care must be taken that the mesh guards are not detrimental to the extraction system and if so, they should only be fitted and used for setting and removed prior to normal machine operation.
Because of the dangers associated with setting it is essential that a machine specific risk assessment that considers safety and health issues has been completed. This should then be used to produce a safe system of work for the setting operation. The following topics should be considered:

Finding private rented accommodation and the Rent Advance Schme
How do I find private rented accommodation?
The best places to look for privately rented accommodation are the internet, local newspapers or in local estate/letting agents windows. Some landlords advertise their accommodation on notice boards in local supermarkets and shops. Bed-sits and house shares are often advertised in this way.
Will I have to pay rent in advance and a damage deposit?
Most landlords/letting agents will ask you for one month's rent in advance and a damage deposit before they will let a property. A damage deposit is usually equal to one month's rent and from April 2007 must be placed in a Government-authorised tenancy deposit protection scheme in case there is any damage to the property whilst you are a tenant.
If you do not have the money to pay one month's rent in advance you may be able to get financial help. The Council operates a Rent Advance Scheme to help you with a loan for the rent advance payment in order to secure a property. The scheme is administrated by Homes Direct.
Please contact the Housing Options Team in Rushden Tel: 0345 600 5050 to see if you qualify.

This is just a quick one for my Twitter followers. Anyone who has me on Facebook will already know about it as, during my blogging meltdown earlier in the week, I posted a status about it. A microblog if you will. Please yourself. Anyway the 140 character limit imposed by Twitter on its users meant that I couldn't do the story justice on that particular platform. So you get the extended version now.
I work at a well known university in Liverpool. I can't tell you which one it is because I never have anything nice to say about it and...well....saying nasty things about it apparently violates their social media policy. By which they mean their policy of controlling your thoughts. Across the road from said unnamed university is a small branch of Tesco's where most days I can be found purchasing my lunch. My last visit ended in the kind of ignominy that is reserved only for me, and here's why.
Having bought my lunch I was on my way out when my chair suddenly came to a complete stop. I pushed off again but it was going nowhere. Something was catching on my right hand side wheel. I looked down and noticed that my ruck sack, emblazoned with St Helens RLFC logo and available from the club store at a probably not very reasonable price (I wouldn't know, it was a present) had got tangled up in my wheel. One of the straps had got wrapped around the spindle to the point where it would be impossible to unwind it without removing the wheel. So in full view of Tesco's lunchtime customers I took the only course of action available to me and jumped out of my chair on to the shop floor. There I sat by the shelf stacked high with Pringles, unwinding my troublesome strap from my now one-wheeled chair.
I put the wheel back on and climbed back in. But not before two men asked me if they could help in any way. Usually, my misfortunes of this nature in the vicinity of work are witnessed only by female students under the age of 25, so it was a blessed relief to only get caught looking like a dickhead by two middle aged men. Still I declined their assistance. If you need help getting back into your chair then you should never get out of it on the shop floor at Tesco's by the Pringles or anywhere else. That's a basic rule among us Undateables.
The next day one of my colleagues, who had completely ignored the Facebook post on the subject, came back from her own visit to Tesco's and told me that she was considering buying me some Pringles. All of which caused her and other colleagues much merriment at my expense. But then what else is new in that barnyard? I wish she had bought me some Pringles anyway because a) I like Pringles and b) It would have been funny. What it does prove is that you never know who is reading the nonsense that you put out on social media, even if they don't join in with pillorying you for it online at the time.

Anthem Blue Cross MedicareRx Gold
(See Reviews of this Plan from Other Regions)
Overall Rating:
What to expect:
I think we pay a lot and some drugs are still not covered. . .even generic change prices from yr. to yr. . . costing as much as some name brands.
Why don't you cover pain med's Like my main one I NEED morphine sulfate 100 mg Qt.#120???
This I need Very Badly I have a few vertebra crushed & artrides, so I called you today & that is what I was told do you have a part (D) that Will cover the Morphine sulfate ?
Anthem is fundamentally incompetent. The level of expertise of their first line representatives is an order of magnitude lower than United Healthcare.
1. My application was received but for some reason (despite their assurances) unprocessed.
2. It took me 6 weeks and many hours of calls before I could get straight information on a Part D drug. They lost forms, sent the wrong ones, directed me to the wrong department, etc.
3. Today I got a message which was cut off. Turns out that I have to call their pharmacy to authorize an expensive prescription. But I have to call back tomorrow, as it is past 4 pm in New York (2:00 here in California). And this is just a SAMPLE of the problems I've had with them.
I have been on this plan for over a year now and have been very pleased with the plan. I have one generic prescription (generic for Duragesic Fentanyl patches) that other plans required a $450. co-pay for, but this plan just charged the standard $10.
My other big concern was the "donut" gap where a lot of plans stop paying after they have paid a certain amount and don't start paying again you have paid around $6,000.
The monthly premium is more expensive than many others, but for people like me with very expensive prescriptions, it looked like the best by far.

Creative Business Goals: How to start a creative campaign
Connect in a way that will grab attention by using some unique techniques to share your makes…
Marketing your makes isn't always easy, but if you use a bit of imagination there are lots of ways you can get your message out and make connections with likeminded makers.
To get noticed, we've asked the brains behind some of 2016's best creative campaigns to share their secrets and inspire you to come up with out of the ordinary ways to raise your profile…
Insta videos
Video is the way to go. With most social media sites prioritising video posts, it's not only a fantastic way to get seen, but a brilliant way to connect directly with your followers. Viktorija Semjonova of And Smile shares her stunning paintings with her Instagram following mixing work-in-progress videos with behind the scene shoots…
What made you decide to start creating Instagram videos?
Initially I wanted to show how drawings come to life, but the reaction to the videos was so amazing – the posts were more popular than photos – that I decided to do more showing my process. I try to only post videos or boomerangs, which I think my followers will to want see and that I enjoyed creating. I also keep in mind things important dates like holidays, special occasions, events I am taking part in, workshops I'm teaching and blogposts. For me it's all about the story behind the post. When a person stays true to who they are, and if the content was created with joy, that's what works the best.
How long does it take for you to set up for a post?
Around 1-2 hours, depending on the drawing and light in the studio. If it is a dark day I might postpone for better conditions or set up next to the brightest window.
How often should you post and why?
Just be consistent, don't post too much and try to find your own pattern. Have a list of things you want to post about and a selection of photos for days when you are not feeling inspired.
What are your top tips for creating Instagram videos?
Think of something you would like to share, download hyperlapse and go! Good light always helps. If you don't have a tripod it's easy to build a DIY structure to help you film. Try it, it's fun!
Go Live!
Facebook Live is the new kid on the block and Brittany Jepson of The House That Lars Built is one of the first creative bloggers to embrace the format to chat directly with her fans…
What made you decide to do Facebook Live Q&As?
I had tried to do it on my YouTube channel, but it was so much work pairing the audio with the images and producing a really fantastic video that I decided to go with a medium that felt more authentic. I'd been told by other bloggers that Facebook Live would be great for it, so I tried it out. I like the immediacy it provides and the ability to ask questions on the spot and answer straight away. Additionally, Facebook notifies people when it's up so I found that I got more views because of it.
What can makers gain from doing them?
I found that I got a lot of feedback on all platforms, not just on Facebook, which was fun to hear. I think it's great to make a personal connection with your audience and for them to connect with your work. Video is also a great way to show your personality.
Do you put video on any other social media sites?
I LOVE Snapchat so much and found a new loyal audience from outside of the crafting world, which I thought was fun. I've kind of forgot about Snapchat when Instastories came out because there were just too many platforms to keep up with.
Collaborate and listen!
Working with like-minded makers is always rewarding and Hello DODO's Ali and Jam have worked with both their friends Designosaur and fellow Brighton maker Toby I Like Cats to create successful collaborations that have even scooped them a Mollie Makes Award…
How did your collaborations help your businesses to grow?
Collaborations, when done right, are a brilliant way to reach a whole new customer base for both parties and to make you think in a completely different way. For us both our collaborations pushed us and helped us to break out of our routine!
Apart from creating a product together, were there any other ways it benefitted your businesses?
When you collaborate you not only create a product together but marketing strategies and ideas and figure out pricing and profit together. Basically a collaboration makes you bring your A game to the table and it helps you to listen better to other people's thoughts and ideas.
What are the key ingredients for a successful collaboration?
Firstly, both parties should benefit from a collaboration. Ideally we think that your businesses should be at a similar level (so you both benefit from reaching each other's audiences) and it makes sense to collaborate with someone on a product that you couldn't necessarily just do yourself. If profits are being split equally then the workload also needs to be equal too. The best thing is to sit down together and work out all of the nitty gritty details before going ahead – Who's in charge of what? How will you both market the product? What does it cost to make and how are the profits distributed? Being open, honest and chatting it all through is the way to avoid any problems!
Create a hashtag
Hashtags are a brilliant way to find a group of likeminded makers and share your crafts with a wider audience. Folksy are experts at fun and informative hashtags from #folksyhour to their newest hashtag #celebrate_handmade which asks people to share the things they love most about craft. Folksy's Camilla Westergaard explains how you can make a personalised hashtag work for you….
How can a hashtag like #feelingfolksy help a maker to grow their business?
Using hashtags can really help you get seen and if you use the right ones on Instagram they can put your images in front of not just shoppers, but influencers too. That means that as well as growing your following and potentially getting more sales, they can help you reach bloggers, Instagrammers and press as well. #feelingfolksy is a nice hashtag for anything handmade because it's a mid-size tag (at the moment, it has around 4.5k posts) which means your posts won't disappear in a torrent of other images.
What can makers gain from doing creating a hashtag?
It's a great way to generate content and get people talking about you, especially if you join up with another maker or Instagrammer as then you're combining your audience and boosting each other's reach. It's also a great chance to get your voice heard, but you need to decide what you want to say – think about who are you as a maker and what you want people to know about you, then choose a hashtag that expresses those qualities. Advertising companies used to spend millions of pounds creating campaigns, but you can do the same now with no budget at all. If you don't use hashtags you're basically posting to your own circle. Hashtags allow you to reach out beyond that audience and gain new fans.
What other creative campaigns have impressed or inspired you?
I really like the #sgiew challenge which is a collaboration between Incredibusy, Red Ted Art and Willow Day. It stands for 'So Good In Every Way' and the idea is to celebrate the good things in life. There are now over 20k posts on that tag and it's a great example of Instagrammers working together to grow their audience – and introducing a different guest judge each week is a clever way to keep expanding their reach.

Cuba Lifts Radio Ban on Anti-Castro Musicians, Report Says
After a five-decade-long absence, Celia Cruz may return to Cuban airwaves.
Though the Communist authorities do not acknowledge it, for about 50 years state radio stations have blacklisted musicians who abandoned Fidel Castro's 1959 Revolution, the BBC reports.
Now, that may be changing.
The government has not acknowledged changing policy – Cuban officials rarely discuss policy changes with the media – but the BBC reports that several radio stations confirm they no longer face restrictions on playing music by exiles.
The change comes amid Cuba's cautious attempts under head of state Raúl Castro to liberalize its state-controlled economy.
"The artists were banned because they were making statements against Cuba," journalist Reny Martinez told the BBC. "Things have changed. Something has changed in the Party. I think there's new flexibility with culture."
Radio station operators say blacklists included some 50 artists before the prohibition was overturned, according to the BBC.
Ironically, the list of artists banned from state radio included Celia Cruz—perhaps Cuba's most internationally famous artist.
Known as the "Queen of Salsa," Cruz got her first break in 1950, when she joined La Sonora Matancera, one of Cuba's most popular orchestras and a regular at the famed Tropicana club in Havana.
The band went on tour to Mexico a year after the Cuban rebels under Castro's leadership toppled then-dictator Fulgencio Batista in January 1959. Cruz never returned, instead continuing her career in the United States.
The Cuban government continued to hold a grudge with the musician—authorities refused to let her into the island to attend her father's funeral.
Other musicians once erased from radio playlists include singer Willy Chirino, jazz saxophonist Paquito d'Rivera and singer Gloria Estefan. Pianist Bebo Valdés was also among the censored artists, though his son Chucho Valdés remains in Cuba and the two have recorded together in recent years.

Have you lost important data and records on your personal computer and have no idea what to do next? It may seem like you are all out of options when your hard drive or computer crashes and you lose your most critical personal and/or business files. But with The Data Recovery Geeks in Laredo, TX you don't have to stress because we can repair or recover virtually all of your data from any device. We are one of the only companies in the nation to offer a completely free diagnostic and our expert data recovery services are carried out in facilities that surpass Class 100 Clean Room specifications. Just give one of our data recovery technicians in Laredo, TX a call at 888-560-4290 to begin the recovery process to your hard drive.
The primary reason for the level of support you will get from our hard drive repair staff in Laredo, TX is that they relate to how bad it feels to lose files. To give you an idea of what the hard drive repair procedure will entail, we will begin the process with a free evaluation. We will give you an estimate on the time frame and price following our consultation. Our team also offers emergency support if you need assistance during the evening hours or quicker than two to three days. We have the goal of figuring out the reason for the problem instead of simply repairing the problem during the hard drive recovery.
You will not find any data recovery services businesses who offer a higher level of customer service than we do. At times, this means transporting computers for our customers in Laredo, TX who have busy schedules, but it can also be something as simple as quickly completing the hard drive repair or recovery. With 30 years of expertise in the data recovery industry, it is easy to see how we have become so effective. Data recovery workshops are also attended by our staff members. Our thousands of dollars' worth of equipment also have played a very large role in our level of success. Whenever you bring your machine to us, it will be worked on in one of the Class 100 cleanrooms, which do an excellent job of minimizing airborne particles.
Even though the loss of data is something that none of us want to hassle with, the reality is that it will happen to nearly all of us at some point in time. Loss of data may not be avoidable, but our hard drive recovery staff would love to assist with your needs. For the highest level of customer care and the quickest hard drive recovery assistance, please give us a call at The Data Recovery Geeks, which has a lab in Laredo, TX, at 888-560-4290 as quickly as possible.
At The Data Recovery Geeks, we love helping individuals as well as business owners with all of their data recovery demands. Sending our specialists to frequent data recovery seminars allows them to enhance their existent skills. We can handle any type of hard drive recovery task because of the knowledge we have and the aforementioned training courses we attend. Of course, our prompt and exemplary degree of service would not be possible if we did not have access to our advanced tools and equipment. In addition to completing the data recovery service, we make certain that our facility is as free of contaminants as possible as these could damage your system. Contact our staff at 888-560-4290 now to see how they can assist with all of your data recovery needs.
Our team's number one priority is to complete the data recovery process properly, so you do not find yourself returning a day later with the same issue. Although some hard drive recovery jobs may be slightly easier or more complicated than others, we can typically recover the files within two to five days. This time frame normally gives us enough time to figure out what needs to be completed as well as performing the data recovery process. Having said that, we also understand that some of you may not be able to leave your computer with us for this time, which is why we also provide emergency services. Should you need service beyond our normal business hours, our emergency services also cover this scenario. Additionally, if you are unable to drop your computer off at our cleanroom facility, one of our technicians would be more than happy to take care of the transportation process. Data recovery Pittsburgh is yet another location that we service so make certain to find out more about the other top cities.
Our emergency services prices are incredibly reasonable especially considering the degree of service you will receive throughout the data recovery procedure. Although some companies may charge an extra fee for leaving your computer longer than the estimated time frame, we believe this is poor customer relations. If you choose the emergency service, we do charge for the diagnostic process, and we have a higher hourly charge. This is because we assign more technicians to work on your hard drive repair, which means we have fewer techs to work on other clients' systems. In many emergency data recovery circumstances, we will also need to pay our techs overtime. The good thing is that your computer will be returned faster than you can imagine, which means it was money well invested. When you've got close friends or family in other states such as data recovery Rochester, NY, make them aware that we present solutions across the region.
No matter how important the files are to you, we know how frustrating data loss can be. To make things even tougher, hard drive recovery is something that requires the assistance of an expert unless you have invested thousands into tools and equipment like our staff at The Data Recovery Geeks has. If you have lost files on your computer, please get in touch with our data recovery crew at 888-560-4290 as soon as possible.

Yeah, it got me confused a bit as well, he he :) Here's what you need to do:ReplyDelete
- load Atlantis and look for a button called "config".
- the skins must be copied in the EXACT LOCATION as the program's default DATA FOLDER (ex: for Windows users will be something like C:\Users\win\etc...) - otherwise it won't see them.
- make a new subfolder called "skins" and drop the skins in it.
After that the skins should appear in the skin list. Load the one you like, then close and open again the GUI. Done :)

Dragged to a magical kingdom for the murder of a faerie, Feyre discovers that her captor, his face obscured by a jewelled mask, is hiding far more than his piercing green eyes would suggest. Feyre's presence at the court is closely guarded, and as she begins to learn why, her feelings for him turn from hostility to passion and the faerie lands become an even more dangerous place. Feyre must fight to break an ancient curse, or she will lose him forever.
First line:
The forest had become a labyrinth of snow and ice.---------
Kindle ebook----------
Publication Date:
May 5, 2015----------
5 arrows out of 5----------
Maas has crafted another beautiful world featuring a strong female lead. Feyre is cunning, intelligent, and self-sacrificing. And while she may not be the nicest or kindest heroine out there, she is certainly one of the fiercest. Her family's circumstances forged her into the person she is and meeting Tamlin only proves to bring these characteristics out more. A dark force is looming over the Spring Court and Feyre must discover how to stop it in order to save those that she loves. Tamlin is great, he protects Feyre and obciously cares for her. He allows for Feyre to, for the first time since her family lost its fortune, to relax and focus on herself and her art.
The supporting characters are also well-rounded. Lucien is desperate for help as well as sarcastic. But he will do anything for his king and to protect his kingdom. Rhys is interesting. I can't wait to see how this plot line develops. I can't decide whether he's a villain or not, but I'm leaning towards not ;)
Though the book is rather long, it's worth it. Maas is masterful at crafting fantasy lands that are full of magic, intrigue, and danger. Each page grabs your attention and holds on, refusing to let you go until you find out what happens next.
I can't wait to finish this series. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who loves fairytale retellings, strong female leads, faeries, and devious female villains.

Women's Surfing Crop Top Swimsuit Top with Very Open Back Isa Bondi
Wide elastic under the bust
Women's Surfing Crop Top Swimsuit Top with Very Open Back Isa Bondi designed for expert surfers riding waves of more than 1 metre. suitable for stand-up paddle surfing.
This crop top swimsuit top for wave sports has a wide elasticated band under the bust to keep it firmly in place and an ultra-open back with feminine mesh inserts.
Stays in place in the waves
Carefully designed to stay firmly in place in waves of more than one metre
Breast support
Wide elastic under the bust providing very good support
Environmental impact
Life cycle comparison: Women's swimsuit top - sustainability.decathlon.com
You surf intensively, it is your favourite sport. During your sessions, you paddle out to the line up, duck dive under the breaking waves if you are on a shortboard, or turtle roll if you are on a longboard. You show commitment in powerful waves of more than one metre. Your swimsuit must stay in place for each of your movements, whatever the strength of the wave. We have designed a range for you that is suited to your intensive practice and your body shape.
Body shape
All those who like to surf waves of more than one metre know how important it is for their swimwear to stay in place! That's why we designed the Isa crop top. Its wide elastic under the bust gives it very good stability whatever the power of the wave and whatever the movement of the body, such as duck dives or turtle rolls. With its ultra-open back, the shoulders are completely free to move, making it easier to paddle.
We design swimsuits that promise to stay in place in the waves. To test them, we use a panel of at least 12 female surfers with different body shapes who will follow a test protocol in a pool at our design offices in Hendaye. This protocol aims to reproduce the sensations experienced by surfers when being thrown around by a wave. If this test is conclusive, we go surfing in the sea to test our swimwear in real conditions.
Dry sizing and wet sizing
To ensure a perfect fit in the water, it is important to choose the right size while you are dry because once they are in the water, swimsuits become looser. We therefore recommend you buy the correct size. The swimsuit needs to fit snugly against your body in the fitting room, you should feel supported. The elastane contained in certain components used in the design of our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water.
Is the size or style not suitable for you? Would you like to exchange it at your Decathlon store? No problem, just be sure not to cut off the label of the swimsuit in case you want to exchange it.
Based in Hendaye, in South West France, OLAIAN is Decathlon's new surfing and bodyboarding brand. In our offices at the water's edge, we can design a swimsuit and then on the same day test it directly in the sea to check it stays in place in the waves.
Tribord surfing products have now become OLAIAN products, the new Decathlon brand dedicated to surfing, bodyboarding and skimboarding. The markings on all surfing products will gradually be replaced. This is why your product may have a logo different from the one in the picture illustrating the product.
Product Testing
This product has been tested in use in Hendaye and has been subjected to numerous laboratory tests to guarantee the quality of use for which it was designed: tests on the fabric's elasticity and strength, colour fastness when rubbed, washed, exposed to sea water, chlorinated water and light, and tests on the product's overall performance after repeated washing.
Yoke : 76.0% Polyamide (PA), Yoke : 24.0% Elastane\r\nMain fabric : 80.0% Polyamide (PA), Main fabric : 20.0% Elastane\r\nOuter fabric : 82.0% Polyester (PES), Outer fabric : 18.0% Elastane
Do not use in chlorinated water

A 20-year-old robbery suspect with two probation violation warrants was arrested Tuesday after he led officers on a chase and barricaded himself in a stranger's apartment, Dallas police said.
Police said they spotted Davarious Cooper in a car after the victim of a family violence offense called them and said her attacker had returned to the site of the incident. Police said they followed Cooper, who drove from Dallas to DeSoto, abandoned the car and ran into a woman's apartment. That woman fled her home and alerted officers who were in the area. Cooper initially did not come out of the apartment but eventually surrendered peacefully, police said.
According to Dallas County court and jail records, Cooper pleaded guilty last year to two felonies after he fired shots in the air during a 2012 football game at the Dallas school district's Kincaide Stadium. The probation violation warrants were issued in May after his probation was revoked when he failed a drug test and violated several other conditions of probation, according to court records.
It was unclear late Tuesday what prompted the robbery charge against Cooper.

While doing some research, I came across this decision, and thought it was quite timely given all the online discussions about sharing the trail, pool, and yes, the road. I didn't find many news articles and instead chose to summarize the decision so the facts are directly from trial testimony and the Court's reasoning.
Morrison v. State, 2009-TX-0723.517, Court of Appeals of Texas, Fifth District, Dallas (July 21, 2009).
Arthur Morrison was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon for attacking Jennifer Tanay and Brian Kliburn, a married couple who were out riding their bikes on the Katy Trail system in Dallas when they encountered Morrison around 9pm on July 30, 2007. Apparently, Morrison rode up screaming "on the left" and passed a little too close. Kliburn responded by calling him an @$$hole. When they observed Morrison slowing down, they passed him hoping to exit the trail as soon as possible. However, Morrison retaliated by repeatedly bumping Tanay's wheel and then slowing way down. She was behind her husband a few feet and trying to accelerate to catch up with him and exit the trail when Morrison continued tapping her wheel forcing her to slow and then kicking her in the knee repeatedly. When her husband turned around he saw Morrison wielding a box cutter and attempting to slash Tanay's arms and neck. Kliburn rushed to her and Morrison fled. He then returned pulled Tanay off her bike and began stabbing her in the chest with the box cutter and turned on Kliburn when Kliburn threw Morrison's bike at him hitting in the face and torso. Luckily, Tanay was able to break away and call 911 and only had minor injuries. Morrison was charged, convicted, and sentenced to 35 years in February 2008. On appeal, he argued that the trial court erred in not allowing a self-defense instruction (legalese). The appellate court disagreed finding that Morrison was the first aggressor and crediting testimony given by an employee at Richardson Bike Mart who testified that Morrison brought his "damaged" bike in to be repaired and told the employee that he was being harassed by a couple of cyclists on the trail and that the damage probably occurred when he "was taking care of one of the individuals."
There's a powerful lesson in all of this. Road rage doesn't only exist on the roads. It's on the trails, in the pool, and well, just about everywhere. If you run, ride, or swim fairly often, you know exactly what I'm talking about and have probably encountered or experienced trail rage or pool rage. Some of us retaliate with a few choice words, refuse to let the person pass, pass too close, fly up on their wheel without a word, stare them down, snort, mutter, pump our fists, shoot the bird, slap their car, chase them down or throw our water bottle at them. Nonetheless, no good comes from these bursts of anger. At the very least, you've become angry and now you're not enjoying your ride or workout. At the worst, the situation escalates into an altercation like this one. Just let it ride, stay calm, make a note of the car, person, bike and if the behavior is dangerous, report it to the authorities.

Here are a few tidbits that some of the members of the creative team behind chipist.com are willing to admit about casinos https://www.sunvegascasino.com and well everything else they feel is important to share:
The first member of our team is not ashamed to admit she once was a 'Bond' girl. Since falling in love with the character of James Bond, she devoted her life to become a professional poker player and is now one of the best female players in the world.
Don't expect her to give anything away at the table: She hides behind a flashy pair of sunglasses and a Casino Royale ball cap. And yes, she takes her Vodka martini shaken, not stirred.
The second member admits to being back roomed in Vegas after winning a cool quarter of a million dollars in one evening. Since then, this creative player has turned his attention to training up a team of young professional poker players in a scheme to dominate next year's WSOP finale.
One of the preeminent magicians in the world, the next member of our team quickly became obsessed with poker chip tricks after discovering he was a whiz at sleight of hand. He is always the center of attention at holiday parties, entertaining the crowd with his flashy chip tricks and fancy card shuffling techniques. This talent has gotten him into trouble, as he is often discovered with cards up his sleeve.

Today I decided I would have a nice relaxed afternoon and watch a film with a cup of tea (trying to thaw out!). I pondered over my limited film collection with my hands hugging my mug. I have probably seen every film here a dozen times but I felt a need for a bit of escapism, settling on super slick 'Chicago'- the ultimate guilty pleasure!
I have always loved this musical what with the decadent plot, the glamourous characters and that enticing "Pop... Six... Squish..." of the Cell Block Tango. The film has, above all, so much style. The dazzling setting in 1920s Chicago is spectacular! The scene is set in the city's dark jazz clubs which flood with thick smoke and glitzy sheaths swaying on stunning flapper girls. Looking at these waifs with platinum set curls and rich, burgundy lips got me feeling rather festive. This is the ultimate look to rock this party season.
There are so many offerings for us ladies when it comes to party dresses. We have the hot trend for red, the fierce animal prints, delicious nudes, heavy opulence and so forth... But what if you want to buck these trends? What if you want to do something that's a little bit different? The flapper look is for you.
I'm not saying we have to channel our inner Roxie Hart and bring out a silvery leotard dripping in crystals, ready to drape ourselves over a piano. I am talking about a modern way to do flapper girl. As ever, Mossy and Sienna have got it to a t- a dress flowing with beads and tassels, paired with nonchalant hair and smoky eyes. It looks jaw-dropping and sexy, while maintaining that allure of a flapper girl. Another great way to keep it 1920s style without risking overkill is to pair with a modern faux-fur coat or a slick blazer (always comes in handy for me- i'm getting to the stage where leaving the house without a blazer is like leaving without keys).
Or if you want to really go for it try with a delightful hair band/turban. The latter sounds somewhat bizarre, but it looks amazing with wavy hair. The finishing touch is that gorgeous flapper make-up (Kate Bosworth has a great look above- modern but still authentic). Just do a subtle smoky eye and a rich deep red lip. Classic and glamourous!
Who'd have thought that a Hollywood blockbuster could be such a style influence?
I have chosen a few gorgeous flapper looks on the high street so we can rock the look without tap shoes and a West-End audience.
Finally, how could you not succumb to the allure of a dress that sways and shimmies as you move? I love it!

A recent opinion piece in the New York Times by Bill Keller began with what the author called a "caustic aphorism:" "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. And those who can't teach, teach teaching." He went on to give an inspirational exception to that rule in the work of one Bill Jackson, a teacher doing exceptional things in a Harlem classroom. And, I know each of us could give many examples of truly inspiring teachers who have made a difference in our lives. However, Mr. Keller's bottom line is that, notwithstanding these many exceptional teachers, overall, the quality of teacher preparation in this country has been, at best mediocre, with obvious deleterious effects on the quality of learning in our nation's schools. As recently as this past summer, Mr. Keller points out, the National Council on Teacher Quality labeled teacher education in this country "an industry of mediocrity" … the title of his opinion piece.
In a recent article co-authored by one of this nation's most respected leaders in teacher education, Arthur Levine, president emeritus of Teachers College of Columbia University, a new national accrediting body is described which could well revolutionize the way teachers are taught and evaluated in this country. As Mr. Levine and his co-author, Rick Ginsberg, Dean of Education at the University of Kansas, put it: "If the standards - approved in August by [the] new national accrediting body – are enforced properly, institutions that have used teacher education as a cash cow to pay for other priorities will no longer be able to do so. Instead, their programs will be judged by the real-world impact of their graduates in the classroom."
While, clearly, there are many exceptions to this sweeping castigation of the field, many of them, like the University at Albany and The College of St. Rose, right in our own backyard, I don't think anyone would debate the need for close examination and analysis of the ways our schools of education carry out their critical mission. Research has shown wide variations in the standards these schools employ. Issues of selectivity head the list of challenges. As pointed out by Mr. Keller, studies have shown that only "… 23% of American teachers come from the top third of college graduates" as opposed to countries like Finland "where only top students [many from the top 10% of their graduating classes] get into teacher-training programs." Other professions in our country have routinely set much higher entry requirements and, increasingly, individuals outside the field are stepping up and demanding attention to these and other quality standards. In New York, Governor Cuomo established the New NY Education Reform Commission in 2012 to examine ways to strengthen the State's education system. This past September, he announced that the Trustees of the State University of New York had adopted a recommendation of the SUNY Chancellor for increased admissions requirements for all SUNY teacher and principal preparation programs, a move designed to increase the selectivity of these programs and, hopefully, help attract more highly-qualified students to this profession.
While increasing admissions requirements to our schools of education is important, other issues also require study. For instance, how do we ensure that educators are skilled in the fields they teach? How is content specialization addressed in teacher preparation? Some teacher preparation programs, like the University at Albany, have long insisted on in-depth preparation in the content areas to be taught. But that is not always the case.
Higher entry requirements and improved content specialization are necessary but not, in and of themselves, sufficient to address the complex issues facing our nation's schools of education. How do we link student learning to teacher performance? How do we educate our teachers to address an increasingly diverse student population? How do we provide our student teachers with the experiences needed to create a learning environment where students who have only known poverty and a culture of low expectations can grow and learn? All are critical questions worthy of our attention and best thinking. The discussion has started, and I am optimistic that more and more of our teacher education programs will soon reflect the best practices that are continuing to be developed around the country – best practices our nation's K-12 students certainly deserve.

Hey everyone,
You know it's Christmas when the shops start playing Christmas music and you hear it on the radio. So today I thought I'd share with you my Christmas playlist (do let me know if I haven't got any Christmas classics or if you know any other Christmas songs that you think I'd like because I do love my Christmas music A LOT!) Also I am just so proud of myself for working out how to paste that Christmas playlist box thing below *pats on the back* it took FOREVER!
I think Christmas is the time when you have an excuse to listen to festive music nonstop 24/7, to be honest I have been listening to Christmas music since June but hey who says you can't? (Well actually my mum does but rules are made to be broken apart from there really aren't any rules aaaand I am starting to ramble so I'll let you just look at my playlist now!!!)
*virtual hugs* and I hope you liked no loved this post!!! ♥
Lots of love,

The landscape of the local railway scene has changed dramatically, and the introduction of the DL class has taken all the fun out of foaming, with their hee-hawing homo horns, borg-like character and reliability typical of cheap imported Chinese junk.
Its hard to photograph something you dont like....
We also still see DXB's on occasion, usually paired with a DL on milk trains, though the jungle drums tell me 5022 has headed south so I guess their days here are numbered too.
To be fair, when you get a DL that is working correctly, on dry rail, the power is outstanding, and man can they pull, BUT, there are so many things with them that could have been done a LOT better, their poor design, ergonomics and quality just turns them into cheap rubbish. They have a long way to go to get them right before I can comfortably call them worth of the title locomotive..
Initial excitement and curiosity about hi-tech new toys has given way to the morbid reality that we are now stuck with these things, probably for the rest of my railway career and that is just sad!
I cant deny that my passion for foaming has diminished considerably, now to the point where I cant even be bothered taking the camera to work....
The cure? Who knows, but I am planning on enjoying the summer months with my family as much as possible, making time to go camping / tramping / fishing and all those other summer things people like to do. I will also be putting more energy into other hobbies, such as BMX racing, and motorsport, with active foaming well down the list.
I have seriously culled the amount of stuff I follow on Facebook, including the foamer groups - its just too hard some days to cut through all the crap and dribble and fighting, and all the nonesense comments when a photo gets posted - sorry - over it!
And, as I have run out of worthy things to talk about, I will leave you with a bunch of recent foamings and a farewell for now. I will leave the blog online to collect dust, but I cant see me updating it for the forseeable future....
I thank everyone for their time and input over the last 3 years..

Figure 1 - VoIP DTMF pin codes
The easiest way of giving the PIN code in a phone call is the use of the DTMF signals. DTMF handling can be easily implemented in a call center server and the received PIN code can be checked in a database. This authentication can be the base for a call routing process or can even provide information about the caller to make the helping process easier.
Ozeki VoIP SIP SDK provides the support of DTMF signal handling, so you can use this kind of authentication in your Ozeki VoIP SIP SDK supported VoIP solution. The actual implementation is, of course, depends on the business logic of your company.

The neuroendocrine tumor program at Rush offers the most advanced care in Illinois. Rush is the first hospital in the state to use 68-Gallium DOTATATE PET CT, the most sensitive diagnostic test for neuroendocrine tumors. It's also the first to offer peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), which is designed to safely kill neuroendocrine cancer cells that have spread to multiple places in the body.
Just as important, Rush has a multidisciplinary team of caring physicians who specialize in treating all types of neuroendocrine tumors:
- Neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and lungs (including carcinoid tumors)
- Neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas (including insulinoma, gastrinoma, VIPoma, glucagonoma, somatostatinoma and nonfunctioning)
- Neuroendocrine tumors of the pituitary gland
- Neuroendocrine tumors resulting from genetic conditions such as Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia Type 1, neurofibromatosis and tuberous sclerosis
- Medullary thyroid cancer
- Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas
Care tailored to you
These tumors occur in different places because the neuroendocrine cells in which they develop are found throughout your body. And depending on their location and type, they may be slow-growing or aggressive.
Since neuroendocrine tumors are so varied, there are several possible treatments — including some that became available only recently. It takes physicians with experience and specialized knowledge to determine which option will work best for you. That's where the team at Rush comes in.
As a patient in the neuroendocrine tumor program, you'll have access to every specialist you might need, including surgeons, gastroenterologists, diagnostic and interventional radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, medical oncologists, pathologists, geneticists and endocrinologists.
Your care team will work with you to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that is based on the most up-to-date research and tailored to your needs. Physicians at Rush are also researchers investigating new treatments, and through clinical trials they can offer options that are not otherwise available.


text: Digital Pepsi Brings Live Concerts To Their Twitter Followers By Lauren Dugan|April 30, 2012 Share By Lauren Dugan|April 30, 2012 Share Pepsi is teaming up with Twitter to bring live concerts from some of today's hottest artists to its followers, in an effort to knock its rival Coca-cola from the top spot as king of the cola world. The new promotion will give followers of Pepsi's Twitter account (@Pepsi) the chance to see live concerts streamed online this summer. Pepsi is also teaming up with Nicki Minaj for a TV commercial. This Twitter campaign is part of Pepsi's larger global campaign to battle its arch-rival, Coca-Cola, in the eternal struggle between cola brands. According to Beverage Digest, Pepsi really needs to step up its game to compete: Pepsi is in third place in terms of the top beverage brands, behind both Coke and Diet Coke. And Diet Pepsi ranks way down in seventh place on the list. The new campaign's tagline is "Live For Now", and the company has already skinned their Twitter brand page to reflect the slogan. Targeting the Twitter generation is a great way to not only hit their demographic, but also get their hashtags, video clips and other multimedia to potentially go viral. If the concerts are a hit with Twitter-ers, there's no end to the word-of-mouth (or of tweet, rather) marketing this could garner Pepsi – possibly enough to overtake Coke's dominance in the market.

Surname: GLOGOWER
Name: Avrum Abraham
Birth Date: January 23rd 1941
Birth Place: Wien, Austria
Father's Name: Karl Lackenbacher born 1904
Mother's Name: Lea Glogower born 1907
On January 23rd 1941 Avrum Abraham Glogower was born in the Rothschild Hospital in Wien. On his birth certificate only the name of his mother is mentioned, but he knows from his mother that his biological father was Karl Lackenbacher.
When Avrum was born, his half-sister was ten years old.
In 1943 Lea Glogower and her two children were deported from Wien to Ghetto Theresienstadt where they were interned till they were liberated by the Russians in 1945. Avrum and his sister were among the very few children who survived Ghetto Theresienstadt.
After the war they lived for some years in Wien till they emigrated to the States.
Based on the information supplied by Avrum Glogower and by doing some basic research on the internet, the following texts may help Avrum know more about his family. If you have any corrections or additional information, please send them to us.
Lea Glogower, Avrum's mother, was born in Stanislawow, Poland (now Ivano Frankovsk, Ukraine), in 1907 to her parents Abraham and Ester Glogower. She had two younger brothers – Bernard Glogower (born 1909) and Simon Glogower (born 1911).
During World War One the Glogower family moved from Stanislawow to Wien and continued to live in Wien after that war was over, so Lea grew up in Wien.
Lea, Abraham, Bernard (to the right) and Simon Glogower (in the front) in Wien, in 1919, according to Avrum.
(It looks earlier. Lea looks like she is maximum 10 years old. Perhaps it was around 1916?)
When Lea was 19 years old her mother Ester died.
In 1931 Lea gave birth to a daughter and in 1941 to Avrum Abraham.
According to Ashkenazi tradition you name your child after a deceased relative, so Lea's father Abraham Glogower must have died before 1941 when his grandchild Avrum Abraham was born. We have not found out what happened to Grandfather Abraham Glogower.
Lea managed to keep her two children alive during the war and during the two years they had to live in Ghetto Theresienstadt.
One can imagine that the years after the war was over, alone with two children in Austria, were not easy for her.
She emigrated to the States in 1951.
Abraham Glogower was born in Stanislawow, Poland (now Ivano Frankovsk, Ukraine), probably in 1880. His mother's name was probably Zlate Glogower.
This is at least the lead we have from JRI-Poland http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/
This information should be check-crossed with information from the Austrian authorities.
Abraham Glogower moved with his family from Stanislawow to Wien during World War One and stayed in Wien when the war was over.
He lost his wife Ester in 1926. His son Simon Glogower died of tuberculosis at the age of 18 in 1929. Both Ester and their son Simon are buried in the same grave in Wien.
It is not clear when Abraham Glogower died, but it must have been before 1941 when Alfred was born, because Lea named her newborn son after him – Avrum Abraham.
According to the information on the website http://friedhof.ikg-wien.at/search.asp?lang=en . Ester Glogower was 42 years old when she died on January 30th 1926. This means she was probably born in 1883. Her maiden name was Rosenreich. Were Josef and Rosa Rosenreich her parents? This couple is also buried in Wien.
Was Ester Rosenreich also originally from Stanislawow (now Ivano Frankovsk, Ukraine)? So far, it does not seem so.
Ester probably married her husband Abraham Glogower around 1905/1906 and gave birth to at least three children: Lea in 1907, Bernard ( around 1909?) and Simon (around 1911?) in Stanislawow, Poland (now Ivano Frankovsk, Ukraine). During World War One she moved with her family from Stanislawow to Wien.
Sadly Ester Glogower died in Wien in 1926 at the age of 42 and was buried in the Zentralfriedhof IV Tor, Part 12, Row 7, Grave 19.
A photo of her gravestone may possibly give the name of her father, and could therefore confirm if he was Josef Rosenreich.
Perhaps the death register of the cemetery and/or the Jewish community in Wien may give more information about her ( date of birth, place of birth, names of parents).
Avrum's uncle Bernard Glogower, born 1909, survived the concentration camps and emigrated to the States after the war.
During the research, these three photos of Bernard Glogower, taken by the Gestapo in Wien, turned up on the website of DÖW Dokumentationsarchiv des Oesterrischen Widerstandes ( Documentation Archive for Austrian Resistance). This organization was founded in 1963 by ex-resistance fighters and anti-Fascist historians. DÖW became a foundation in 1983 and receives financial support from the Austrian Government, the City of Vienna and the Verein Dokumentationsarchiv. Their website can be found on http://gegendenantisemitismus.at/ and they also have an English version. We asked them kindly to publish the photos of Bernard Glogower on our website as part of Avrum Glogower's profile. Thanks!
Searching the list of graves in Wien http://friedhof.ikg-wien.at/search.asp?lang=en we found two graves that may be connected to Avrum:
Rosa Rosenreich died at the age of 69 on June 25th 1935 and was buried at the Zentralfriedhof IV Tor on Group 22, Row 17 Grave 22. She was therefore born in 1866 or 1867 and would have, if she was Ester's mother, have given birth to Ester at the age of 17. Possible?
Josef Rosenreich died at the age of 81 on March 21 1942 and was buried in the same grave as Rosa Rosenreich. Josef was probably born in 1861 and would have been around 23 years old when Ester was born.
It would be important to find out if Josef and Rosa were indeed the parents of Ester Glogower nee Rosenreich.
As already mentioned, Avrum heard from his mother that his grandmother Ester Rosenreich (maiden name unknown so far) originally came from the Carpathian Mountains in Romania and that this family was Sephardic, coming from Izmir in Turkey. Will it be possible to conform this?
If the information connecting Avrum's grandfather Abraham Glogower to a birth register in Stanislawow of Abraham Glogower, born 1880, son of Zlate Glogower is right, then the additional information in those registers on JRI-Poland may give clues to additional Glogower relatives. Interestingly enough, the father's name is not listed in these registers from Stanislawow.
Zlate had several children who died (Schmiel Moses 1878 – 1878; stillborn baby 1883; Mendel 1893 – 1893), but also a son named Aron Gerszon Glogower born in 1890. It is my guess that this is the same Aron Gerszon Glogower who later lived in Wien, and who was married to Rachel Glogower born 1898. Both Aron Gerszon and Rachel Glogower became victims of Holocaust. Zlate Glogower in Stanislawow also had at least two other children who probably survived childhood: Rifke Glogower born 1884 and Itzig Sucher Glogower born 1888.
According to the information listed on JRI-Poland, it seems likely that Aron Gerson Glogower (born 1890) was a younger brother of Abraham Glogower and that he too had settled in Wien. He was probably married to Rachel, born 1898. Did the couple have any children? We don't know, so far.
According to information listed both on Letter to the Stars Project and on the Yad Vashem website, Aron Gerson and Rachel Glogower lived in Wien 20, Bäuerlegasse 20/30 before they were deported from Wien on May 27th 1942 to their death in Maly Trostinec on June 1st 1942.
According to what Avrum was told, Karl Lackenbacher (born Dec 18th 1904) was his biological father, but his parents were not married. Karl Lackenbacher's parents were Josef Lackenbacher and Regina Lackenbacher nee Goldberg.
He was told that his father managed to escape Austria in October 1940 ( around three months before Avrum was born) in the direction of Yugoslavia, but was later interned in Ferramonti Camp in Italy . He was supposedly liberated from this camp but it is not known what happened to him after that.
Did he marry and have children? Where did he settle? Avrum does not know.

"Beat the Bugs" with Biosecurity, Protect your horse from infectious diseases
Guelph, Ontario – Equine Guelph is launching its first-ever online session on equine biosecurity from April 16 to 29, 2012 for horse owners and caregivers. Over a two-week period, owners will learn how to protect their horse(s) from infectious diseases: 1. Identify risks of infectious disease in the barn, 2. Apply practical ways to reduce your risks of disease and 3. Reduce the chances of sickness in horses. The new, convenient two-week format is delivering what the equine industry has been asking for; a short course full of practical advice based on the horse owners needs!
"Attendees of this online course will get a detailed explanation of the various aspects of infection control and have an opportunity to discuss the topic with industry experts," says Dr. Josie Traub-Gargatz, professor at Colorado State University. "Infection control is an important part of caring for your horse(s). Assessing your current control plan in an objective way through use of the biosecurity calculator, which is part of the course, can help you identify strengths in your control plan. It can also help you determine if there are areas you may want to discuss further with your veterinarian based on identified low scores."
Equine Guelph's "Beat the Bugs with Biosecurity," program promotes biosecurity throughout all sectors of the horse industry. The program is funded through the Agricultural Biosecurity Program (ABP), part of the Best Practices Suite of programs under Growing Forward, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative. The Agricultural Adaptation Council assists in the delivery of several Growing Forward programs in Ontario.
"Beat the Bugs" has been developed by Equine Guelph with the assistance of its 12 industry partners, American Association of Equine Practitioners Foundation, Central Ontario Standardbred Association, Colorado State University, Grand River Agricultural Society, Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association, Ontario Association of Equine Practitioners, Ontario Equestrian Federation, Ontario Harness Horse Association, Ontario Horse Racing Industry Association, Ontario Veterinary College, Standardbred Canada, Vétoquinol Canada Inc. and Woodbine Entertainment Group.

The Future is in Your Hands – Take the Reins!
What You Can Do to Give Strength to the Horse Industry
You may be surprised to know that there are over 9 million horses in the United States, based on a study done by the American Horse Council entitled the Economic Impact of the Horse Industry on the United States.
The American Horse Council (AHC) is the only organization that represents every segment of that vast horse population. Every day, the AHC communicates with Congress and other federal agencies to ensure that each understands the economic, agricultural, sporting, and recreational importance of the horse industry.
This can be tedious work, but without open lines of communication with our leaders in Washington, D.C. we could lose the ability to enjoy our horses and our work in the industry that we love. We hope that our efforts ensure that these federal officials will support a legislative and regulatory structure for the horse industry that encourages individuals and other entities to support and participate in the horse industry, to invest in our horses, and to sponsor and support our events and activities.
The AHC believes that the more opportunities there are to use horses in various activities, the better the overall health of the industry and those who participate. Our goal is to keep opportunities open so that EVERYONE in the horse industry is able to thrive.
Because we are a not-for-profit organization, we depend on you – a person who is devoted to your horse and to your sport – to help us stand up for our rights as horse enthusiasts. Join the American Horse Council today and help us to help you, your horse, your sport, and your industry!
It is extremely important for everyone in the horse community to present a unified front and show Congress and other federal agencies that the horse industry is not only important to their constituents, but is also a large, economically diverse industry that provides hundreds of thousands of US jobs and billions of dollars in tax revenue. The AHC is the only Washington, D.C. based organization solely dedicated to representing all horses, equestrians, and every segment of the diverse horse community and industry.
The AHC provides many updates on important issues affecting the industry, and explains to its members how they can contact their elected officials to speak up about these issues. By joining the AHC, you give strength to the horse industry's voice.
To learn more about supporting the AHC and becoming a member today visit www.horsecouncil.org/ahc-memberships.

Canadians and Danes were the first to source equine umbilical cord blood for regenerative medicine. The anticipation over the exciting applications of this research were clearly indicated by the massive number of downloads which occurred within two weeks of the first report published back in 2007 ―a whopping 3500+! "The long term goal is to find new treatment modalities for diseases and conditions where there currently are no good treatment modalities," says Dr. Thomas Koch, who researches joint cartilage repair at Aarhus University, Denmark and the University of Guelph. Koch expands on one reason stem cell research is such a hot topic by explaining the concept of a reduced burden on the healthcare system, which could potentially result from curing incurable degenerative diseases.
The successful isolation of cells from equine umbilical cord blood for regenerative purposes has put the U of G on the map as a leader in equine stem cell research. In his latest research, Koch is able to isolate mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) for potential cartilage repair using a very simple, non-invasive procedure. Umbilical cord blood is obtained at the time of foaling by clamping the cord and collecting the blood into a transfusion bag. Once at the lab, this blood is then put into a plastic container and then the cells that "love plastic" show their potential for regenerative research. Any unwanted floating cells are easily removed from the container because the desirable MSC cells actually adhere to the plastic and multiply! Koch can then create cartilage from these cells in the lab.
Studies for maintaining cells at the injury site are ongoing. The complication is integrating cell-repaired cartilage with the underlying bone and adjacent normal healthy cartilage. Koch is investigating sophisticated matrices and scaffolds as well as a technique known as mosaic arthroplasty. In mosaic arthroplasty, a number of plugs consisting of both cartilage and bone are placed in the cartilage and bone defect in a cobblestone pattern, hence the name mosaic. Pioneered by Dr. Mark Hurtig from the University of Guelph, this option, although technically difficult, may allow a better integration between cartilage and bone.
Using umbilical cord blood cells to make bone cells and cartilage cells has earned Koch's research international recognition. The application for bone healing in fracture and cartilage repair is promising. Now researchers are working on better ways of differentiating undifferentiated cells into cartilage cells so there will be enough cells for therapy.
Dr. Thomas Koch is employed by the Orthopedic Research Lab at Aarhus University in Denmark and funded by the Danish Research Agency for Technology, Production and Innovation. Additional operating funds are provided through: Grayson Research Foundation of Lexington, Kentucky; BioE Inc. of Minnesota, USA; SentrX Animal Care Inc. of Utah, USA; Morris Animal Foundation, USA and the Equine Guelph Research Fund.

Washington, DC – March 15, 2012. The United States Hunter Jumper Association (USHJA) has joined the Unwanted Horse Coalition (UHC).
"Supporting the mission of UHC is totally in line with the USHJA's mission of which a major component is protecting the well being of our participants both human and equine and offering broad based education for our members. We want to do all we can to help ensure that these generous animals have the responsible care that they deserve from all of us," said Shelby French, CEO of the USHJA.
The USHJA, which is the nationally recognized affiliate for the hunter and jumper riding disciplines, promotes the equestrian sport and the well being of its participants. The USHJA offers broad based education for its members and provides the framework for the conduct of the hunter/jumper sport.
"The UHC looks forward to working with the USHJA to educate our industry about the welfare of horses. The UHSJA offers so many wonderful programs and educational seminars, it is truly a pleasure to work with an organization that has a similar mission," said Ericka Caslin, UHC Director. "The USHJA offers equine retirement listings, as well as owner resources. Their welfare committee is dedicated to improving the well-being of our nation's equines."
The Unwanted Horse Coalition is a broad alliance of equine organizations that have joined together under the umbrella of the American Horse Council. The Coalition's mission is to reduce the number of unwanted horses and to improve their welfare through education and the efforts of organizations committed to the health, safety, and responsible care and disposition of these horses.
For more information about joining the UHC or unwanted horses, please visit the UHC website at www.unwantedhorsecoalition.org or contact Ericka Caslin at email@example.com.
The Unwanted Horse Coalition
The mission of the Unwanted Horse Coalition is to reduce the number of unwanted horses and improve their welfare through education and the efforts of organizations committed to the health, safety and responsible care and disposition of these horses. The UHC grew out of the Unwanted Horse Summit, which was organized by the American Association of Equine Practitioners and held in conjunction with the American Horse Council's annual meeting in Washington, D.C., in April 2005. The summit was held to bring key stakeholders together to start a dialogue on the unwanted horse in America. Its purpose was to develop consensus on the most effective way to work together to address the issue. In June 2006, the UHC was folded into the AHC and now operates under its auspices.

Guelph, Ontario – March 9, 2012 - The University of Guelph's award winning continuing education program has unveiled their new Equine Welfare Certificate which will offer students the opportunity to explore animal welfare issues in the horse industry both locally and globally.
Made up of six online courses, this program has been designed to engage students who have a passion for making a better world for our equines, and will examine the biological and emotional factors that affect a horse's quality of life. Course content will include housing, management practices and procedures that can affect the well being of horses.
"It is extremely important that everyone who owns or works with horses understands not only the complex issues, but also the common practices in daily care and management that can affect the welfare of horses," explains Tina Widowski, Director of the Campbell Centre for the Study of Animal Welfare. "Through our partnership with Equine Guelph, we are able to combine top expertise in both equine science and animal welfare science to deliver a practical and well-rounded program in Equine Welfare."
Offered by the Campbell Centre, Equine Guelph, and the Centre for Open Learning and Educational Support, the Equine Welfare Certificate core courses include Equine Welfare, Advanced Equine Behaviour, Advanced Equine Health through Nutrition, and Global Perspectives in Animal and Equine Welfare, as well as two elective courses including Health and Disease Prevention, The Equine Industry, Equine Nutrition, and Advanced Equine Anatomy.
The Equine Welfare and Advanced Equine Behaviour courses will be offered during the fall semester beginning September 10, 2012; however, the required pre-requisite courses for this certificate are currently available for registration, with courses starting in May 2012.
While acknowledging that most only want the best for their beloved equines, many horse lovers yearn for the chance to better understand why horses do the things they do and recognize situations that may compromise horse welfare. "This program has been designed to provide students with the tools to become familiar with negative emotional states and recognize how welfare can be objectively assessed in the horse to improve its overall health," says Gayle Ecker, Director of Equine Guelph.
For more information, please contact the Centre for Open Learning and Educational Support at firstname.lastname@example.com, call 519-767-5000 or visit www.EquineWelfareCertificate.com.
