Responds to Haiti's Request to Rebuild Airport Infrastructure
PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI – In the aftermath of the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, USTDA has responded to the request of the Government of Haiti to assist in modernizing the Haitian aviation sector.
Last week, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) awarded a grant to the Autorité Aéroportuaire Nationale (AAN), Haiti's national airport authority, to conduct an analysis of priority airport infrastructure modernization projects. This assistance will enable it to design and implement important upgrades at Haiti's principal international airport in Port-au-Prince.
USTDA is working with AAN to fulfill its request for grant assistance to develop plans, project costs and implementation timelines for several high-priority projects that require prompt implementation to improve the safety and efficiency of airport operations. The projects to be analyzed through this technical assistance grant include the construction of a parallel taxiway, a new air traffic control tower, a sewage collection system and a wastewater treatment plant, a power generation facility and other high priority post-earthquake upgrades and repairs.
"This grant represents how the United States is investing in Haiti's infrastructure, to help it build back better," Ambassador Merten stated after he conferred the grant on August 24, 2010 for $813,000 to AAN Director General Lionel Isaac. "Toussaint L'Ouverture Airport is Haiti's gateway to the world, and safety and efficiency improvements will help stimulate economic growth and increase prosperity."
From Washington, D.C., USTDA Director Leocadia Zak added: "USTDA is pleased to partner with AAN on this important project, which will realize important safety and productivity benefits for the aviation transportation sector in Haiti."
Primary categories of materials and services likely to be needed for these priority projects include ground handling equipment, sewage and wastewater treatment technologies, power supply systems, air traffic control tower components, navigational equipment, engineering and construction services and training for technical staff.
As part of its outreach efforts, a USTDA team traveled to Haiti for the grant signing and to meet with both public and private sector representatives to discuss projects focusing on the energy, information and communications technology, transportation and environmental sectors.
The opportunity to conduct the USTDA-funded technical assistance will be competed on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website. A link to the FBO announcement will be posted to USTDA's website at www.ustda.gov. Interested U.S. firms should submit proposals according to the instructions in the FBO announcement. The Autorité Aéroportuaire Nationale will select the U.S. contractor that will complete the technical assistance.

How much will a TV campaign cost me?
TV Advertising can be broken into two main costs, Creative (the making of your advert) and Media (the cost of placing it on a channel).
In general TV is bought and sold on a cost per thousand basis, this price is set by ITV and most broadcasters trade at either a discount or premium depending a number of variables:
We have given you a rough guide on TV channel prices here , and a look at TV advert creative costs here.
Sponsorship is another area worth looking at, normally sold as a package deal from the channel, cost will depend on the viewing and length of your deal. Please contact us if you'd like us to source potential deals with channels.

"Dechreuwyd cynal Ysgol Sabbothol(sic) gan bobl y Maendy yn ardal Llanhari, yn nhy Richard Richard yn Ebrill, 1820. Hon oedd yr Ysgol Sabbothol gyntaf a sefydlwyd yn y wlad yma. Wedi bod tua chwech wythnos yn nhy Richard Richard, cafwyd t^y gwag perthynol i Thomas Griffith, yn Rhiwperau, a symudwyd yno. Cyn hyn yr oedd yr ardal yn nodedig am ei champau annuwiol, a chyrchai ieuengctyd yr ardaloedd cylchynol yma ar y Sabboth i chwareu pel. Ar un Sabboth yn fuan wedi dechreu yr ysgol yn Rhiwperau, aeth Shadrach Davies i'r cae at y bechgyn oedd yn chwareu, a daliodd y bel pan y daeth hyd ato, a dywedodd yn siriol wrthynt, " Dewch gyda mi i'r ysgol i Rhiwperau," ac felly fu. Daeth yr ysgol yn (sic) mlaen yn llewyrchus, a dechreuwyd pregethu gan Shadrach Davies yn wythnosol, a chynal cyfeillach grefyddol; ac y mae yn nodedig i'w goffau fod ychwanegiad o un wedi bod atynt dros ddeuddeg tro yn olynol, a'r bedwaredd-waith-ar-ddeg daeth dau. Yr oedd Richard Richard, yr hwn a roddodd ei d^y at gadw ysgol, yn un o'r rhai cyntaf a ymwasgodd a'r eglwys. Buwyd yn addoli yn Rhiwperau am yn agos i bedair blynedd, pan y daeth angen y t^y ar ei berchenog. Meddyliwyd am gael capel, a chafwyd tir gan Mr. Llewelyn Yorath, ac adeiladwyd y capel yn 1824 ; ond nid oes genym wybodaeth pa bryd yr agorwyd ef, na phwy fu yn gweinyddu ar yr achlysur. Cynhelid yma Ysgol Sabbothol, a phregethid yn rheolaidd yma gan weinidogion y Maendy, ond nid oedd eglwys wedi ei ffurfio yma hyd y flwyddyn 1837, pan oedd Mr. Thomas Williams yn weinidog yn y Maendy. Yn nhymor gweinidogaeth Mr. J. Evans cynhyddodd yr achos fel y barnwyd yn angenrheidiol yn 1850 i adeiladu addoldy newydd, yr hwn a gostiodd 400p., ac y mae y ddyled oll wedi ei thalu. Mae yr achos yma o'r dechreuad wedi bod mewn cysylltiad gweinidogaethol a'r Maendy, ac felly y mae yn parhau."
Translation by Deric John (Feb 2008)
In April 1805, the people of Maendy in the district of Llanharri started to hold a Sunday School, in Richard Richard's house.This was the first Sunday school to be established in this part of the country. Having been six weeks in Richard Richard's house, an empty house was found belonging to Thomas Griffith in Rhiwperau, and it was moved there. Prior to this, the district was renowned for its ungodly games, and youths of the surrounding districts would gather here on the sabbath to play ball. One Sunday, soon after the school had started in Rhiwperau, Shadrach Davies went to the field where the boys were playing and caught the ball as it approached him, saying cheerfully 'Come with me to the school in Rhiwperau, and they did. The school flourished and Shadrach Davies began preaching each week as well as holding a religious fellowship; and it is notable to record that their numbers increased by one for twelve consecutive meetings, while on the fourteenth, two new members came along. Richard Richard, the one who gave his house to start the school, was one of the first to join the church. Worship took place in Rhiwperau for nigh on four years until the owner required the house. Thoughts turned towards a chapel, land was donated by Mr Llewelyn Yorath, and the chapel was built in 1824; but we have no knowledge of its opening date or of the occasion's officiating minister. A sunday School was held here, and Maendy ministers regularly preached here, but a church was nor formed here until 1837, when Mr Thomas Williams was a minister in Maendy. At the time of Mr J. Evans's ministry the cause increased, and in 1850, it became essential to build a new place of worship at a cost of 400p., and the debt has been repaid in full. From the very beginning, this cause has been ministerially linked with Maendy, and so it continues.

The "proj" system was made available in the early 1990's and has undoubtedly been used in both open and proprietary applications as is allowed by its public domain origins and subsequent MIT/X11 license. In nearly all cases, use of proj has been without with my participation or consultation, however, there has been one important exception and I want to make it clear of my disassociation with that operaton.
A distribution of 'proj' (see this site) is available that represent coding practices that compromised the quality of 'proj,' its management and use. For several years I was associated with this group's (mailing list archive) and was a persistant nuisance complaining from the year 2000 of the coding abuse but to no avail. I finally decided that for my mental health it was time to get away from it.
What is the problem? The problem relates to the issue of interweaving into one software collection two separate operations and disciplines: datum conversion and cartographic projections. Indeed, in many cases both operations are important in GIS applications and chart making but the operations are distinct and independent of each other and it is very poor programming practice to tightly combine the processes. That is, we do not alter the math library sine function to somehow facilitate the use of 'sin' in an application.
Why make such an issue about it? The principle reason for making such a big deal over this problem is that it makes the maintenance of the software more difficult and thus more prone to errors and more difficult to include enhancements and updates. People are also more likely to be expert in one or the other aspect of the problem and they should not be burdened with trying to wade though sections of code that have nothing to do with with their background. All the two disciplines should be concerned with is the interfacing between their sections.
After 9 years of bashing my head on this problem I finally gave up.

Summary and Analysis
Estonian children are represented in protective proceedings by an eestkosteasutus, or guardianship authority, who also serves other protective roles, including dealing with removal and arranging care upon removal. The guardianship authority appoints a more permanent guardian, while considering the wishes of a child ten or over, or younger, mature child in deciding who this guardian is to be. The social services department of rural municipality governments and city governments is the guardianship authority for children living in their territory. The major laws which describe the child protective system is the Family Law Act 1997, The Child Protection Act 1992, and the Social Welfare Act 1995; the Code of Civil Procedure (not listed) also contains statues relevant to child protection, though not to child representation in protective proceedings.
According to the Family Law Act (§ 58) when settling a dispute regarding a child, the court proceeds from the interests of the child, considering the wishes of a child who is at least ten years of age, the guardianship authority, in making a representing the child, considers the wishes of the child in the same manner. The wishes of a child younger than ten years of age shall also be considered by both the court and the guardianship authority if the development level of the child so permits. The child's wishes have to be taken into account when determining the place of residence of a child or discussing a dispute pertaining to a child.
Estonia signed the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child on 10/21/1991 and entered it into force on 11/20/1991. Estonia is also a signatory to the 1996 Convention on jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition, enforcement and cooperation in respect of parental responsibility and measures for the protection of children,[2] which desired to establish common transnational child protective measures taking into account the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child of 20 November 1989. However, there appear to be no provisions for child participation in legal proceedings in the convention.

As major metropolitan newspapers around the country struggle to make ends meet, some see dark days ahead for our civic life. There are concerns about corruption on Beacon Hill and in Washington as the power of print journalism declines. Yet social media outlets such as Twitter, Blogger, and YouTube may empower citizens to watch elected officials more closely than ever.
Joining Starr to discuss the future of journalism and the impact of a changing news landscape will be Martin Baron, editor of The Boston Globe, and Dan Kennedy, assistant professor at the Northeastern University School of Journalism and nationally recognized media critic.
The Ford Hall Forum is the nation's oldest free public lecture series. It promotes freedom of speech and fosters an informed and effective citizenry through events that illuminate the key issues facing our society.
The forum presents knowledgeable and thought-provoking speakers, including some of the most controversial opinion leaders of our times, in settings that facilitate frank and open debate.

All the latest on the world's youngest royals
"What have I seen that actor in before?" is the question most people ask themselves after watching one of John C Reilly's many successful films. The 38-year-old has earned a reputation as one of Hollywood's most respected character actors but, for the most part, he's remained that familiar face you can't quite put a name to.
Having appeared in three of 2002's most feted productions - Chicago, Gangs Of New York and The Hours - it seems strange he hasn't yet become a star in his own right. The actor's rugged features may be partly to blame for his supporting role status, but John insists that's fine with him.

Modernist Master
Fifty years since his death, we remain in Faulkner's shadow.
Jul 23, 2012, Vol. 17, No. 42 • By EDWIN M. YODER JR.
Faulkner is frequently viewed as a Southern gothic or romantic regionalist. Those trace elements exist in his stories, but do not define them. Faulkner created a mythic county called Yoknapatawpha and peopled it with characters rich and poor, virtuous and vicious, established and parvenu, drawn from both observation and imagination. In Faulkner's world, as in all settled societies, castes and locales differ—Jefferson, the county seat (based on Oxford, Mississippi), from Frenchman's Bend, an outlying rural community. The Compsons, principal family of The Sound and the Fury, are from the top drawer of the planter gentry, while the Snopeses, whose story opens with The Hamlet, are a byword for scheming "white trash."
But Faulkner's people aren't predictable, and he doesn't hesitate to show that Jason Compson, Benjy's sneering brother, is as mean, dishonest, and calculating as any Snopes, while certain latter-day members of the Snopes tribe achieve a measure of bourgeois respectability, even as bankers. For Faulkner, virtue lies not in superficial marks of rank, race, or origin, but in the capacity to observe a code of honor, marked by pride, compassion, and pity.
His stories and novels are set in a sometimes surreal, natural world of the Delta, and the hills and bottomlands. He was a lifelong outdoorsman, hunter, horseman, and gentleman farmer. But as Cleanth Brooks has observed, Faulkner is no Rousseauist, idealizing nature and identifying instinct with innocence. In his stories, nature is latent with menace and violence, vengeance and dark comedy. An exploitative view of the wilderness intimates evil; for man owes respect to the land, whose possession is a trust. Ownership is a kind of human delusion, related to the evil of slavery, the primal curse which must be expiated.
These themes are not political: The power of the natural world goes behind and beyond civic structures. Faulkner's animals, wild or domestic,
These horses are not drawn from life; they are not the horses of George Stubbs. They are impressionist animals and would be at home in a painting by Renoir.
Finally, as for the narrative tricks that trouble so many novice readers, there is this to be said: Faulkner is a ventriloquist who projects an inventive authorial voice through various channels. Benjy, the idiot, is one—but there are others. There is the agitated brooding of Quentin Compson, who is driven mad by his obsession with the family decline, and who finally drowns himself in far-off Cambridge, Massachusetts. These technical ingenuities are keys to the deeper pleasures of Faulkner's work. His ear for the registers of human speech is unrivaled in American fiction, tuned to the Southern tradition of bardic storytelling.
At least since the English critic Percy Lubbock wrote his seminal study The Craft of Fiction (1921), it has been conceded that the novel has the same potential for high art as older forms of epic and drama. By study and the force of his genius, Faulkner grasped its potential and, in a burst of brilliant productivity between the late 1920s and the mid-1930s, made himself a major voice of the modernist movement. We do well to discount the superstition (including his own mischievous statements) that he was a bumpkin who stumbled into the writing trade. The most notorious tease is his preface to the 1935 Modern Library edition of Sanctuary:

OPML link kept a secret
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
The OPML page (wp-links-opml.php) is a well kept secret. The link should be mentioned on import and export pages. Especially on /wp-admin/link-import.php
The best would be to make a special form for importing from WP where you could just enter the url of another WP installation, and it would fetch the opml page automatically.

I +1 the idea of promoting it a bit. I think it should be mentioned on Manage/Export and on Blogroll/Import Links, maybe just as a Codex link where things could be detailed.
comment:2 @davidszp — 8 years ago
+1 from me for promoting it and/or making it easy to import. As a user I had to do a bit of research to figure out how to do this in the past! I stumbled upon the answer but I doubt if a lot of people would. I've got XAMPP and Tortise installed and am tracking updates; may eventually get proficient enough with PHP and familiar enough with the WordPress core to do some patching (I used to do a bunch of Perl programming a few years ago but I'm going to grab a book and brush up on PHP; hacking it for a few months hasn't taught me all the ins and outs yet!). If I run across this again and I have time and it hasn't been fixed; maybe I'll do something about it...

This is a great work done by EllaVampirella – xxxHolic Ichihara Yuuko Cosplay. This cosplay girl comes from Germany. Other pictures in her gallery show you the full body look. But I especially feel fascinated about this one. Long black hair with exquisite makeup makes her look great. The necklace is chic, right? Except the vivid look, EllaVampirella makes herself faithful to what we see from the original manga. So, you will also applaud for her?

Q: How do I become involved with the Master Gardener program?
A: The first step to becoming a Master Gardener is to call your local OSU Cooperative Extension Center and see if it offers a Master Gardener program. Right now, about 30 counties in Oklahoma offer the program and, even if your county doesn't, hopefully one in your area will.

Innovations campaign to improve Filipinos' lives-A A +A
Thursday, October 17, 2013
ROYAL Philips has officially kicked off its "Innovations that Matter to You" campaign, which encourages people from all walks of life to submit ideas on how to address three of the most crucial problems of the country today, the need for livable cities; proper nutrition for families; and easier access to quality healthcare solutions.
The Philips Innovations campaign initially kicked off in Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and Korea, but has been launched in the Philippines to adhere to the company's goal of providing people with meaningful solutions that can ultimately improve the quality of their lives.
Additionally, the Philips Innovations campaign in the Philippines seeks to leverage on technology as an important tool in making life better for everyone.
"The Philips Innovations campaign is a call for people to innovate, to combine their ingenuity with technological resources, to develop health and well-being solutions that can benefit the public, especially those belonging to marginalized sectors," said Fabia Tetteroo-Bueno, country manager of Philips in the Philippines.
"As a technological innovator, we at Philips look forward to collaborating with them on making our communities safer places to live in, our families healthier, and giving our communities access to proper medical diagnosis and assessment, particularly in the area of non-communicable diseases."
Submission of ideas can be done on the Innovations campaign website www.meaningfulinnovation.asia/philippines, which is scheduled to go live on September 23. Ideas should be realistic, impactful, and should fall under one of the three idea categories given. A select panel of subject matter experts shall then shortlist six ideas that meets Philips' objective of creative positive change.
The individuals/organizations behind these six suggestions will then undergo a mentorship workshop with some of the Philippines' respected visionaries, to further fine-tune their ideas, and make them more actionable. Philips will then select one winning idea, and implement the chosen innovation in 2014.
As a company, Philips is focused on offering innovative products and services that help improve people's health and well-being. This objective is actively supported by its three sectors -- Lighting, Consumer Lifestyle, and Healthcare.

2001-04-22 Hasim Rahman w co 5 Lennox Lewis, Big Top Arena, Carnival City, Brakpan, South Africa - IBF/WBC
2001-04-22 Hasim Rahman w co 5 Lennox Lewis, Big Top Arena, Carnival City, Brakpan, South Africa - IBF/WBC. Referee: Daniel Van De Wiele. Despite Lewis (253½) scoring well with the left hand, the warning signs were there for him early on as Rahman (238) kept low to avoid right hands and jabbed well to the body. When Lewis crashed in a terrific body shot at the end of the third it seemed as though all was well, but in the fourth Rahman picked up the pace to win the round and, at times, ominously backed up the champion with rights through the middle. In the fifth, Lewis came out firing and with Rahman having difficulty with his left eye, which was now swollen and cut, it looked as though he was in real trouble. However, Lewis seemed to switch off, his left held low, and after allowing the 20-1 underdog to jab him across the ring and with his back to the ropes a tremendous right to the jaw sent him down to be counted out on the 2.32 mark. In suffering a loss of credibility it was clear that Lewis had not been in the best of condition, either mentally or physically, and had taken Rahman far too lightly.

Many people wait until the New Year to tackle their credit card debt or switch cards to avoid paying interest.
This typically leads to balance transfers peaking in January.
However, for the savvy few, there are currently some great deals to be had.
In particular, Lloyds bank has launched two new credit cards this week that are worth taking note of.
The first, the Lloyds Bank Platinum credit card, offers 10 months interest-free on both balance transfers and purchases.
What makes this card stand out is its transfer fee – this is the charge you'll pay for moving your debt from one card to another – which is a low 0.4%.
If you move £1,000 from an existing credit card to Lloyds, you would only pay £4.
This is currently one of the lowest transfer fees on the market.
Barclaycard has a card that has no transfer fee at all but it only comes with six months interest-free instead of 10.
Nerys Lewis, head of credit cards at Confused.com, says: "The Lloyds credit card could be ideal for people who can pay off their outstanding credit card balance in less than a year.
"For those with around £1,000 to clear this is likely to be one of the cheapest ways to get rid of their debt."
Lloyds has also launched a new credit card that offers 18 months interest-free on balance transfers, for a 2% fee, and 16 months interest-free on purchases.
What makes this card noteworthy is the length of the purchases period – at 16 months 0% this is not far off Tesco's market-leading 19-month deal.
Lewis says: "If you need a little longer to pay off your debt, and you want interest-free spending too, then this is a really competitive deal."
While both of Lloyds' cards come with attractive offers, there are a few things to consider first, says Lewis.
"Both cards are great all-rounders but are only really suited to people that need both the balance transfer options as well as 0% on purchases," she says.
"If you just want a card for spending on then you may want to look elsewhere as options such as the Tesco 19-month 0% card may be more suitable.
"Similarly, if you only want to do a balance transfer then there could be better options out there for you."
The Barclaycard Platinum currently offers the longest balance transfer deal in the UK - 33 months interest-free for a 2.79% fee.
When it comes to balance transfers, perhaps the best starting point is to work out how long you need to pay off your debt.
This will tell you the length of the interest-free period you need and you'll then be able to search for a credit card that is right for you.
Remember that if you go over the 0% period you'll end up paying interest unless you can then switch to another interest-free card.

We first introduced the retro foldable flats in July 2013 in the tan and white color. Since then, this style have become a top seller on our site, and have picked up some pretty amazing reviews on Overstock. You can read the reviews for tan retro folding shoes and the white retro folding shoes on Overstock.
These flats have also been a blogger favorite and have been reviewed by several of them. Here is Emily from A Devine life wearing the white retro and Jessica from Jeans and a Teacup styling the Tan retro flats. So with all these rave reviews, it was only a matter of time before we experimented with more colors for this style! So today we are adding the red retro foldable flats! Every bit as comfortable and stylish like our other flats, the red flats are perfect to give your outfit a pop of color!

Paging Professor Obama: WSJ Editorial Says the President "Needs a Remedial Course in Judicial Review"
Apr 3
President Obama and Washington Democrats are growing increasingly desperate in their efforts to defend their unpopular health care law. Yesterday, the president "went too far" – in the words of liberal Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus – and attacked the Supreme Court.
The Wall Street Journal editorial page weighed in this morning, and noted that the former constitutional law professor "needs a remedial course in judicial review" and said that "as he runs for re-election, Mr. Obama's inner community organizer seems to be winning out over the law professor":
"President Obama is a former president of the Harvard Law Review and famously taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago. But did he somehow not teach the historic case of Marbury v. Madison?"That's a fair question after Mr. Obama's astonishing remarks on Monday at the White House when he ruminated for the first time in public on the Supreme Court's recent ObamaCare deliberations. 'I'm confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress,' he declared."Presidents are paid to be confident about their own laws, but what's up with that 'unprecedented'? In Marbury in 1803, Chief Justice John Marshall laid down the doctrine of judicial review. In the 209 years since, the Supreme Court has invalidated part or all of countless laws on grounds that they violated the Constitution. All of those laws were passed by a 'democratically elected' legislature of some kind, either Congress or in one of the states…
"One reason the law may be overturned is because it was rushed through Congress without a standard 'severability' clause that says that the rest of the law stands if one part is judged unconstitutional. Congress jammed it into law because it became ever more unpopular the more the public looked at it. The law is even less popular today than it was on the day it passed in 2010."Mr. Obama's remarks suggest he is joining others on the left in warning the Justices that they will pay a political price if they dare to overturn even part of the law. As he runs for re-election, Mr. Obama's inner community organizer seems to be winning out over the law professor."
One can understand President Obama's frustration – the Supreme Court's hearings have only made ObamaCare more unpopular and have shined a light on the Presidents' unconstitutional health care law that's only making it harder for small businesses to hire new workers.
As Speaker Boehner said, "there can be no letup until ObamaCare is fully repealed."

Abstract: This review illustrates the applicability of temperamental constructs to personality theory by mapping key temperament constructs onto Cognitive-Experiential Self-Theory(CEST). Linkages between temperament and CEST are clarified by examining the role of temperament in shaping day to day experiences; the representation of experiences in memory structures (schemas about self, others, the world) that influence the construal of subsequent events; and the implications for education and socialization that stem from the synthesis of temperament constructs and personality theory.

New York, April 11, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists is calling on authorities in Ethiopia to ensure that broadcasts of the German state-funded station Deutsche Welle, which had been jammed, be allowed to air freely. Local journalists confirmed a report by the Bonn-based international broadcaster that its programs were inaudible in Ethiopia last week until Friday.

Across the continent, the emergence of in-depth reporting and the absence of effective access-to-information laws have set a collision course in which public officials, intent on shielding their activities, are moving aggressively to unmask confidential sources, criminalize the possession of government documents, and retaliate against probing journalists. From Cameroon to Kenya, South Africa to Senegal, government reprisals have resulted in imprisonments, violence, threats, and legal harassment. At least two suspicious deaths--one involving an editor, the other a confidential source--have been reported in the midst of government reprisals against probing news coverage.

LANSING, Mich., Jan. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Neogen Corporation (NASDAQ: NEOG) has developed a simple test to detect precise amounts of the mycotoxin zearalenone in grain samples. Zearalenone-contaminated animal feed or grain can cause a wide variety of reproductive problems if eaten by livestock.
Neogen's new Reveal® Q+ for Zearalenone adds to the company's unequaled line of simple, quick, and fully quantitative tests for mycotoxins — a line that also includes tests for the major mycotoxins aflatoxin and deoxynivalenol (DON) in a state-of-the-art format.
"Like our Reveal Q+ tests for aflatoxin and DON, Reveal Q+ for Zearalenone is the easiest test available for rapid, fully quantitative test results," said Neogen's Ed Bradley, vice president of Food Safety. "This innovative technology yields more accurate and reproducible results than other testing methods for zearalenone. The new Reveal Q+ products add to Neogen's unmatched range of simple and accurate lateral flow, microwell, and immunoaffinity column mycotoxin testing options — all of which are backed by the best technical and R&D support in the industry."
After only 6 minutes, Reveal Q+ for Zearalenone delivers precise results ranging from 50 to 1200 parts per billion (ppb) of zearalenone in corn and wheat. Reveal Q+ test strips are read in Neogen's AccuScan® III lateral flow test reader to deliver the precision of more demanding test methods.
"Livestock producers are becoming increasingly aware of zearalenone problems, and have looked for ways to reduce risks related to contaminated feed," Bradley said. "The best protection against mycotoxins is monitoring for their presence in feeds and foods. That means testing along the pathway from initial harvest of grains to the finished products."
Reveal Q+ for Zearalenone offers both room temperature incubation of the

Honours to Alcoa employee
Congratulations to Willowdale mine employee John Twaddle who recently received a prestigious Volunteer Emergency Services Award.
John has worked tirelessly for his local community as the captain of the Waroona Fire Brigade since 1998 and was rewarded when he was presented with the FESA Bob Mitchell Award. The award recognises personal integrity and commitment to community.
He has been involved in the Waroona Fire Brigade since 1964 and has helped protect the community by fighting fires both in WA and interstate.
John is no stranger to receiving awards. In 1998 he was named the inaugural bush fire fighter of the year and in 1999 he received the Australian Fire Service Medal. John has also been awarded life membership of the Waroona Volunteer Fire Brigade.
Alcoa is proud to support employees in their local communities through the Alcoa Foundation. Employees who donate their time to not-for-profit organisations can apply to the Alcoa Foundation for grants to give to their charitable organisations.
In 2007, over 1,200 Alcoa employees actively volunteered in their local communities across Australia, contributing over 71,000 volunteer hours - that's equivalent to more than 8 years of time.
Alcoa passes on cost savings to employees
As employee retention becomes a major issue for Australian businesses, Alcoa is leading the charge in employee engagement by offering cash incentives to those who come up with smart ideas.
Employee suggestions and achievements from 2007 were celebrated at Alcoa's Western Australian Operations Annual Awards for Excellence recently, where ten awards were presented.
Ideas direct from refinery and mine site workers have seen significant financial savings as well as safety, environmental and efficiency improvements.
Managing Director, Alan Cransberg, said: "One award nominee came up with an idea which has led to annual savings of $460,000."
Alcoa's Employee Suggestion Scheme offers financial incentives to those who develop ideas which result in cost savings to the business.
The Excellence in Environment Award was presented to a Wagerup employee whose work resulted in a 95 per cent reduction in Liquor Burner emissions.
"We believe we have a more productive and engaged workforce if employees are encouraged to make suggestions for improvement and are then listened to by management," Mr. Cransberg said.
"It is people who make Alcoa successful, not machines or equipment."

In Mitwaba, children who are alone have been adopted by local families. Nkulu Wa Kumaziba, 12, lost both of parents and was taken into a host family. The new family already has 10 children and they do not have the resources for him to go to school and study. He gets food assistance from WFP that he shares with his host family.
The parents of seven-year-old Nkombe Antoinette died earlier this year during an attack by a rebel group on the village of Muombe. She is now living with a host family in Mitwaba. Her adoptive mother has six other children. However she has been to school herself and understands the importance of education for girls and so she has got Nkoombe enrolled in school.
Food distributions go according to household size. This information board indicates the ration amounts based on family size. Staff members of a partner organisation working with WFP stand by to explain how it all works to beneficiaries who have problems reading.
Along this 50 km stretch of road to Mitwaba there is an eerie silence – the track is narrow with grass as high as the car on both sides. Villages stand burned and deserted, with either the empty shells of brick walls or blackened patches where houses once stood. It is easy to understand why people fled and why they are reluctant to return.

Responding to the commitment today (6 July) by the Government to increase transparency for NHS patients, Professor David Taggart, President of the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery, said:
"The Government's commitment to making NHS practice more transparent is excellent news for patients. The medical profession and NHS has been slow in providing accessible and reliable information that allows patients to make informed choices about their treatment options. UK cardiac surgeons have been publishing individual surgeons' results for over a decade, yet despite clearly demonstrating that this practice is cost-effective and proven to significantly improve quality of care, we remain the only specialty to do so. We strongly believe that the key to the success of our enterprise has been that the data has been gathered by clinicians, analysed by clinicians and published by clinicians for the benefit of their patients."
John Black, President of the Royal College of Surgeons, said:
"Patients have a right to know where they can access the best possible care in order to make informed choices about their treatment options, therefore, today's commitment by the Government to increase transparency throughout the NHS is supported by the RCS. Cardiac surgeons have clearly demonstrated that transparency and public accountability drives up standards of patient care while reducing costs as areas of poor practice are resolved. If today's announcement leads to increased funding for clinical audit it can only be good news for patients."

She smiled back with no trouble at all? She is in a good mood, and he assumes she?s been granted immigration permit She is actually happy because she didn?t get it Living in the West is preferable to living in the east- assumption A Pakistani woman will want to be married- assumption Pg. 15: ?I got all their questions wrong?all topsy turvy? These aren?t accidental mistakes- on purpose The answers she gives are wrong, but right for her Story tells us that what?s right and wrong depends on your perspective What constitutes good advice depends on your point of view Rehanna sees that by doing the opposite of what M.A. suggests, she gets what she wants We can?t make assumptions or think in terms of absolutes Sometimes what appears wrong can actually be right Language can be empowering in unexpected ways Women can?t make decisions for themselves Tuesday women dependent on men Rehanna had no say in her arranged marriage not right for her even though her parents think it is redecorated the bathroom and took control uses negative assumptions about Tuesday Women to her advantage ?Good Advice? comments on the interrelationship between East and West, but also the distance between them We expect the East to be exotic, but here it is mundane East and West are simply places Story in East, but West is a major factor/presence in the story Story centers on possibility of Rehanna?s immigration to the West There are many Easterners in the West- effects on them and those they left behind in the East Story makes us aware of movement between East and West There?s a distance between East and West Immigration policies are strict Rehanna uses the separation to her advantage, but usually it?s an impediment By remaining in the East, Rehanna defies Eastern tradition East and West are very related Internal relations are very complex Separation refers us to their connection separated by cultures separation is there for historical (colonial) reasons, referring to their historical connection Video on Salman Rushdie born in Bombay in 1947- before end of British empire father was well-off businessman, family wealthy happy, exciting childhood had a privileged childhood in a poor city secularized city- removed religion wanted to write about the first generation of independent Indians left for boarding school in England at age 14 School treated him as a foreigner Exposed to racism Realized he didn?t belong to the school (hated it) use to the big city, so New York wasn?t a shock- like home KEY POINTS Going to school as a ?radicalizing experience? Rushdie was writing for 2 audiences- affects how we read his work New York as a jumble/mixture- we see ?mixed-up? and Jumble-Aya in his text Pop culture is something that crosses frontiers ?The Courter? Very autobiographical- is Rushdie the narrator? After the author reads the letter from the neice, he mentions ?forced exile? Rushdie was IN a forced exile because of the Iranian patua Pgs. 185, 176, 177, 181, 180 language can cause difficulties/create conflict between people, but it can also open up possibilities and create new realities language can be fun and flexible even mistakes in language can be productive can cause misunderstanding (narrator asked girl if she had nipples and she hits him) can cause surprising consequences (foreign English versus British English) different dialect of English- shared by foreign speakers narrator speaks Bombay English includes language spoken by those who have it as a 2nd or 3rd language- can cause difficulty or embarrassment narrator sometimes feels self-conscious about the way he speaks Pg. 185: ?I was able to conceal the shaming truth that I would have made the same mistake?.my schoolfellows tittered when I said?? Ashamed that little sisters know something he doesn?t friction/conflict/not fitting in or belonging narrator?s schoolmates laugh at him for the way he talks (racist aspect to laughter)- treat it as an incorrect english Mary has trouble with English because she isn?t comfortable with it Gets things wrong (mixes up letters) Pg. 176: ??the letter p was a particular problem, often turning into an f or a c?.she would say ?going shocking??she would answer ?yes fleas?? in the 2 indian languages she speaks, her ?p?s? knew their place narrator mentions place- Mary feels more at home in India, not in England later she becomes sick and has heart problems because she?s homesick happy accidents even mistakes that actually are mistakes can be turned into something productive her mistakes with ?p? and ?c? makes her call Mixed-up ?courter?, opening up her relationship with him ?this name, this courter, he would try to be? Courter could also refer to courtly love as a Western Tradition, as well as a wooer Name gives him permission to be a courter In a small way, her renaming of him shows the power of words Naming and renaming Gives the people doing the renaming a sense of power nicknames given to Porter and Mary by children children have a different class position a way to have control over their lives when their lives are unhappy (father alcoholic, violent) Mr. Mixed-Up: he is mixed up to them since the pronunciation of his name seems illogical A stroke left him in mental confusion More to the nickname than children intended Mixed up culturally since he?s an immigrant in western society with foreign tenants and having courtship with Indian immigrant (mixture of cultures) Jumble-Aya for Mary She tends to jumble up her letters ?jumblaya? ? ingredients mixed up, Creole dish inspired by Spain (fusion of cultural cuisines), something new Mary is an immigrant having a relationship with another immigrant, speaks other languages, Christian living with muslim family References to Pop music Mentions Ray Charles, Elvis, etc. on Pg. 180 Popular music was the product of the mixing of different cultures rock and roll- combination of white/black music making movement across boundaries Rushdie celebrates the movement of music mixing and migrating are key ideas in the text. Pop culture references draw our attention to mixed/hybrid cultural forms that are able to cross boundaries (race, class, culture, nation).

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
The Gwinnett GOP's "Republican Rumble" is likely to become an annual event after a successful first year last weekend.
Party Chairwoman Rachel Little said about 200 to 250 people came out to Thrasher Park in Norcross, including elected officials, candidates, conservative groups and interested voters. The chili was pretty good, too.
"(Last Saturday) was a busy day in Georgia with events scheduled all over the State. The candidates for U.S. Senate and Congressional District 10 made Gwinnett County a priority because they understand that the road to D.C. runs through Gwinnett," Little said. "Everyone had a great time and experienced a unique opportunity to meet the candidates and talk to them about issues that are important to Gwinnett County."
If the chili is any indication, Karen Handel could do well in the U.S. Senate race, as her team's recipe won the "People Choice" honor in the contest. And while Eugene Yu may be one of the least known candidates, tasters named his team's chili the best among his fellow candidates.
The U.S. House District 10 competition went to Gary Gerrard's team, while Chuck Efstration's team won among the State House District 104 contenders, who will be on ballots Tuesday.
But leaders didn't just let the chili do the talking. While the candidates glad-handed, the party conducted a straw poll.
In next year's GOP Senate race, current District 10 Rep. Paul Broun came out on top with 35.3 percent of the vote, with Karen Handel winning 32.6 percent. Savannah Rep. Jack Kingston, who made his way back to Gwinnett this weekend, garnered 16.8 percent, with Rep. Phil Gingrey taking 6.4 percent and businessman David Perdue picking up 5.8 percent.
In the race to replace Broun in the House of Representatives, the Rev. Jody Hice took a big lead with 56.5 percent. Mike Collins, the son of former Rep. Mac Collins, came in second with 32.6 percent, while others were in the single digits.
Stephen Simpson picked up 6.5 percent support while local state Rep. Donna Sheldon received 4.3 percent.
"We were thrilled that as many as 250 people from all over the state came to the event," Little said. "Georgia voters are engaged and are looking for opportunities to look these candidates in the eye and ask hard questions and talk about things that are important to them."
