Does it always have to be ironed before adhering it? I purchased it and wanted to put it under a photo with the wispy end coming out past the photo.
Thanks for the help.
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
No you don't have to iron the DicroFibers to use them. Ironing is just another technique for using them.
Wow--more fun stuff for us to enjoy & play with. Thanks
Why not place these fibers between two sheets of glass, doing some fun alcohol and Stazon work on the glass?
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
Well, why not? Guess there are lots of applications for these fibers!
Where are these fibers made and is it a USA made product because we know that if it comes outside the USA we have no safty control of it .
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
Great question! We just heard back from our supplier, and the Dicro is made in the USA.
I have a lot of this. One hint: You can spray it with Static Guard to keep it from "flying away"
WoW! something innovative. Anxious to try it in my pages,for a new look! thanks for all your demos..love all!
Wow, what beautiful projects. Ann you are so creative, and an asset to Paper Wishes! Thanks so much for sharing with us!
I am concerned that these fibers could be harmful to your lungs if they are cut or break while handling and you then inhale the small particles. Could possibly cause mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer. It looks similar to angel hair (spun glass) used in the 40's and 50's which I would no longer use. My father died of mesothelioma for which there is no cure so I believe in prevention. Just wanted to make you aware of the possibilities. I know you wouldn't want to cause harm to anyone. Thanks!
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
These all polyester fibers were invented precisely to prevent any health problems. Replacing angel hair/spun glass for safety. They have been fully approved for the cosmetic industry, for which they are cut into the finest of particles imaginable, and used confidently by all industries. All art materials should be used with studio safety in mind.
I have a pkg of this - it's true, you can scorch it, and it is just a different look - not quite so shiny. No waste - gotta love that !!!
These fibers look like a lot of fun. I really like the look of the various colors on the binder. Punching out the "fabric", and using the templates are nice ideas too! Thanks for the ideas.
Nice use of this product I must say. I have seen it before but shyed away from it not know that it could be made into a fused sheet. Ty for showing that method. i do have a question though....how do we adhere it to cards etc w/o using a brad?
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
Good question Pati. You can adhere the fibers with any adhesive. I like glue stick but any will work. I'm glad you liked the webisode.
Looks like a lot of fun to play with...

Stow, OH 01-01-2012
Audio-Technica, a leading innovator in transducer technology, is marking 50 Years of Passionate Listening with its yearlong 50th Anniversary Celebration in 2012, including several limited edition commemorative products, special events and promotions for customers. From its early beginnings as a manufacturer of phonograph cartridges, Audio-Technica has expanded over the years to become a leading innovator in the design of microphones, wireless microphone systems, headphones, turntables, phono cartridges and more. A-T continues to advance the art and technology of electro-acoustic design with the manufacture of products for the professional recording, M.I., live sound, broadcast, fixed installation and consumer audio markets. On this historic occasion, Audio-Technica is taking the opportunity to look back, with a view toward the future.
Audio-Technica was founded in 1962 by Hideo Matsushita, who introduced the companys first phono cartridge that year. A-T soon gained a reputation for producing a range of high-quality, award-winning phono cartridges for some of Japans leading electronics companies, and expanded its facilities in 1963 and again in 1965 to its current address in Naruse, Machida, Tokyo. In 1969, Audio-Technica began distributing an expanded range of products internationally, and in 1972, Audio-Technica U.S., Inc. was established in Akron, Ohio, moving to its current location in Stow, Ohio, in 1980.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Audio-Technica broadened its lineup to include products such as its groundbreaking VM Series dual-magnet phono cartridges; its ATH Series high-fidelity headphones; its first professional microphones, the 800 Series; and other innovations. Of particular note was the launch of A-Ts compact UniPoint microphones, which changed the landscape of business presentations and other installed communications with their sleek profiles and high-fidelity audio. Audio-Technica also established divisions in Europe and Asia during this period.
In the 1990s, Audio-Technica continued to refine and diversify its product range, and its wireless microphone systems, microphones and consumer and professional headphones became industry standards for their exceptional performance, reliability and value. A-T introduced the renowned 40 Series microphones, making the pristine sound of studio microphones affordable for the first time ever. Today, the 40 Series represents a benchmark in studio microphones for leading producers and engineers, as well as high-profile artists in all genres of music, both in the studio and onstage. Additionally, in 1993, Hideo Matsushita took the position of Chairman, and Kazuo Matsushita became President of Audio-Technica Corporation, a position he still holds today.
Since the dawning of the new millennium, Audio-Technica has continued to introduce breakthrough products and systems. In 2008, the companys noise-canceling in-ear and over-ear headphones set new standards in environmental noise reduction and sound quality. A-T also revolutionized the audio industry with the introduction of its digital SpectraPulse® ultra wideband wireless microphone system. The SpectraPulse products are part of A-Ts Engineered Sound® line of contractor-exclusive offerings, another successful area of focus for the company. Other popular A-T products include the Artist Elite series of performance microphones, its 2000 and 3000 Series Wireless Systems, and its Artist Elite Wireless Systems, the 4000 and 5000 Series.

|Circadian entrainment - Homo sapiens (human)
|Circadian entrainment is a fundamental property by which the period of the internal biological clock is entrained by recurring exogenous signals, such that the organism's endocrine and behavioral rhythms are synchronized to environmental cues. In mammals, a master clock is located in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus and may synchronize circadian oscillators in peripheral tissues. Light signal is the dominant synchronizer for master SCN clock. Downstream from the retina, glutamate and PACAP are released and trigger the activation of signal transduction cascades, including CamKII and nNOS activity, cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinases, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Of non-photic entrainment, important phase shifting capabilities have been found for melatonin, which inhibits light-induced phase shifts through inhibition of adenylate cyclase (AC). Multiple entrainment pathways converge into CREB regulation. In turn, phosphorylated CREB activates clock gene expression.

Communicating social support
Sage Publications, 1987 - Language Arts & Disciplines - 317 pages
Albrecht and Adelman address theoretical and methodological issues for understanding the social support process in everyday life. They contend that social support is inextricably linked to communication behaviour and that the logical and empirical link between the two is long overdue.
They present a theoretical overview (including strategies for measuring social support), examine support in specific settings and consider the dilemmas of supportive communication. They also discuss future directions for research and practice.

NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband installed today. Great! We now have massive interference on our ABC Local Radio station 1044 from Bridgetown WA. We do want to listen to radio as well as have broadband.
Solved! Go to Solution.
At last, on Monday 16 January 2017, have finally received an NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband set up that does not cause interference to AM Local Radio. We usually listen to ABC Local Radio out of Bunbury via 684 MW or 1044 MW, the former is the stronger signal.
Eighteen months ago Fixed Wireless Broadband was installed and it instantly caused massive interference to the local AM Radio. NBN provided a workaround in the form of providing an external antenna and a digital radio. This worked for a year or so but in the past few months the signal had deteriorated to the extent that there was always a buzz in the background (unless the FWB was turned off, but that rather defeats the purpose).
In late November 2016 contacted Telstra and with lots of to-and-froing finally got through to NBN which organised for an updated FWB set up that was designed to reduce AM radio interference.
Here are images of the product labels showing version IDs and here is the new Outdoor Unit in place and working.

Previously worked with a Telstra Partner however I am not a Telstra Employee, just a fellow customer helping when I can.
Thanks for explanation. I took the radio to the front veranda (away from the cable linking the antenna to the Connection Box) and it worked although still a bit of noise. So maybe a shielded cable. Will see if I can get a message through to NBN.
The saga continues. I have reported the problem that the installation of the NBN has caused interference to the Local ABC Radio South West in the AM Band on 1044 out of Bridgetown and 684 out of Busselton, WA. So far all I have from Telstra is a number to ring 1800 620 272 or 02 4924 9744 (the latter has always been engaged when I have rung) with a complaint number: SR 1 - 525302654214. I have rung several times over the past week or so and got nowhere. Complaints do not work on the weekends.
The ABC Radio is our emergency channel and I am not happy that I have been given the NBN, but have had the AM radio taken away. I have set it up to work on my iPad but it is clumsy to restart and the sound is tinny. The radio set has batteries so it would work in any situation. Although I suppose if we lost power - which we often do - the NBN would not work but the radio would. Although if it is not used very often it may not work in the rush of an emergency.
I note that a previous case occurred in February last year which was fixed three months later. Surely we can do better than this as it is now a known problem which may effect numbers of households in bushfire-prone areas as the NBN is rolled out in SW WA.
If a private company took an action which took away another service I am sure they would try to remedy the situation promptly. If the problem were not fixed within a few days I would be justified in taking them to the ACCC on the grounds of product not being fit for purpose in that the installation of one service removed another.
I want to have my radio working again on AM and not have to wait three months before NBN gets around to doing something.
The ABC TV show, Utopia, is eerily prescient in highlighting how we can be caught up in the bureaucracy when we just want, in this case, the simple replacement of an antenna and possibly the connection box.
The problem continues and after over four weeks of obtaining various complaint IDs I was told on Tuesday 18 August that NBN could do nothing to remedy the interference on the AM radio. The radio worked fine when the NBN connection box was turned off and as soon as the power to the NBN connection box was switched on, the radio interference returned. I was told I should contact ACMA as they were the body that investigated radio interference.
Yesterday I rang ACMA and they pointed out how I could find the form to start the investigation. I was encouraged to check with others in the neighbourhood to see if they were having similar problems. However, this area is sparsely populated and in many of the valleys they can't get AM radio let alone mobile or NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband anyway. I've asked several people but few have actually got NBN though are interested.
I asked whether there were any ACMA representatives in WA and they said "no" but once they had several similar complaints they would consider sending someone to investigate. I realized that this could take months so rang the local contractor from Manjimup who had installed the NBN infrastructure. They got back to me today and told me that they had done the standard installation as instucted and were not aware of any problems. Unless instructed they could not do anything.
So back today to Telstra. I used my Platinum service at the start which may have speeded it up a little. I now have a new NBN reference No. 157278888 and they will contact me by cob on Monday 24 August (hopefully). Maybe they will send someone out to check it out for themselves and then maybe there will be an attempt to remedy the problem.
I was advised by the Minister for Communications Office that the problem likely lay in the antenna and that that and the connection box would need to be changed. That was four weeks ago but there has really been no advance.
I am rather cheesed off to say the least. If anything happens next week I'll be surprized, but very pleased.
I wonder if fixed wireless broadband takes into account the fact that AM local radio in the regions is often borderline in strength so it doesn't take much interference to overwhelm the signal.
NB the ABC app for listening to AM Local Radio eg for SW Radio does not work - yet. I have to get onto via my browser and the volume on the iPad is quite low.
A similar complaint was raised early last year when someone in Victoria experienced a similar problem with Fixed Wireless Broadband interfering with ABC AM Radio. It took three months to rectify with a different version antenna and connection box. Here is the link which may work, otherwise search on "radio".
Another day with not much progress to restore operability to my radio, though a couple of journalists in local papers may use the story of how installing NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband can obliterate your AM Radio signal.
Hopefully there may be some progress from the Minister's office in the next day or so. The problem is now five weeks old and nothing has advanced.
Previously worked with a Telstra Partner however I am not a Telstra Employee, just a fellow customer helping when I can.
Today we made some progress in that we now have a formal incident report compiled by Telstra technicians that has been successfully logged with NBN Co. In my later phone call to NBN/Telstra I was told that the problem of radio interference was being examined by the NBN wireless people and that I could expect some sort of response within 24 to 48 hours.
Not solved yet but on the path to something being worked out.

Hello Montaza,
We're in SE Qld, and have the same problem with our Fixed Wireless installation causing interference to AM radio reception.
We logged it with our (non-Telstra) ISP in mid-July. The interior NTD and roof-top box were swapped some time back with no effect, thouh NBN advised our ISP that the problem had been resolved. The ticket was re-opened and lat week we undertook some NBN prescribed diagnostics over the phone which apparently showed it is the rooftop device causing the interference.
To cause interference the ethernet cable out of the NTD must be connected (to PC or router, router can be bypassed) , and the interference only starts after rooftop device starts to transmit/receive, which is a little while after power is turned on.
Hope it helps that there are others with the same problem, not just the earlier one from Victoria.
Correction - our installation was in mid-June, not mid-July
The interference on our installation has been fixed.
NBN installed a prototype roof-top box with an extra capacitor, and we no longer have interference on AM radio !!
Maybe that will solve Montaza's issue too.
Previously worked with a Telstra Partner however I am not a Telstra Employee, just a fellow customer helping when I can.
Good to hear that you no longer have interference on your AM radio caused by the installation of Fixed Wireless Broadband.
I have been hoping that by now I would have had a resolution of the problem. Ten days ago I had an NBN contractor arrive and he replaced the outside antenna with a new one that was fitted with an "AM blocker" maybe it was meant to be called an "AM interference blocker" but it made no difference.
I still can't listen to AM radio on my tradies radio specially bought to listen to ABC South West Local Radio out of Bunbury, the station that broadcasts the Emergency Alerts. It is plugged into the mains but runs on batteries as well.
The contractor made the point that although he had not seen this problem before, he considered the cable running from the external antenna to the internal connector box should have had more shielding than it appeared to have. He recommended a Cat 8 cable and thought that the one that was installed must have been an earlier type. He also thought that the antenna could have been mounted on the roof above the office rather than on the other side of the house. The cable runs underneath about half of the house. Everywhere in the house there is interference on the radio.
The contractor noted that the house has a metal roof and I told him that we had underfloor insulation that was like an alfoil "sandwich" that was attached under the floorboards. The house is on stumps and is typical of many dwellings in SW WA in that it is a jarrah weatherboard.
Last week I received a text from Telstra saying, " NBN are currently waiting for your indoor equipment to arrive, will reschedule an appointment with you when needed. Sorry for any inconvenience."
I texted back though it would not send, " Thank you. It may be worth replacing the cable with Cat 8 shielded cable and moving the antenna to above office to reduce interference in this weak radio signal area."
It's now over two months since the NBN was installed and I would love to be able to listen to the radio again in the usual way. The streaming radio from the iPad is fiddly to turn on and volume is not very good.
It is encouraging to see that Blue2 in Queensland can now listen to AM radio without interference. I live in hope!
AM Radio Coverage: The puzzle of why the interference to AM Radio by NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband has not been more widely reported.
Fixed Wireless Broadband is being implemented in rural areas, outskirts of towns and other areas where population is not very dense as it is not cost effective to install "fibre to the node".
These outer areas in many cases will have regional radio that has a fairly weak signal. In SW WA the countryside is hilly with lots of hidden valleys - beautiful scenery but poor transmission of radio signals. We, in Balingup, receive 684 out of Busselton or 1044 out of Bridgetown of the AM Local Radio out of Bunbury. At our house we have a big hill to the NW so we listen to 1044 from Bridgetown from the south where the signal strength is slightly better.
I have been asking locals as to whether they have NBN and/or whether they can listen to ABC Local Radio.ABC local Radio is important because it is another way to receive information if there is an emergency. Other ways of receiving information may be affected by power outages, mobiles not working, computer needing power, etc.
It turns out not many people even listen to the ABC Local Radio. Often the signal is too weak or non-existent. People may listen to it only in their car as it is the most convenient way. For others they listen only to FM Radio or they receive radio via a streaming method which is now possible with NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband, as long as there is power.
For emergency management reasons having operational AM ABC Local Radio is vital, because in a bushfire or storm it may be the only way of communication. A battery-powered portable radio is recommended by the Department of Fire and Emergency services so that householders can listen to the Emergency Alerts.
The effect of the installation of Fixed Wireless Broadband to interfere with AM Radio is almost certainly being under-estimated because AM Radio may not be routinely listened to in these marginal areas.
We need to improve the coverage and boost the signal strength of AM Radio and ensure it is not affected by interference such as that caused by the NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband.
Contractor to NBN has been this morning and installed a prototype InDoor Unit (IDU).
To go back a few weeks. We had a technician contracted to NBN Co who came out on 17 September and replaced the OutDoor Unit (ODU) which is like an antenna. Apparently it had an AM blocker on it. This made no difference. We still had the radio interference on the Local ABC Radio station on 1044 from Bridgetown.
A couple of weeks later on 1 October we had the same technician come back and install a new InDoor Unit (IDU). This improved the radio reception a little such that we could just make out what was said but there was still a lot of background noise which made listening uncomfortable. I refused to sign off to the effect that the problem was fixed even though the technician said it was.
I was given the name of a person in NBN Co who rang me on 7 October. This person told me that there were two other instances of this interference happening in Australia and they were developing a prototype IDU that should stop the interference with the AM radio. NBN were making 60 of these and only expected to use about 30 in Australia.
A local NBN contractor came today and replaced the IDU with a prototype IDU, but this made no difference. He then changed the ODU, but this made it worse. He was in touch with Ericsson techicians who are the main contractors for supplying the fixed wireless broadband. This was then changed back to what we had on the roof at the start of today. Interference was less but still poor reception.
Then the prototype IDU was replaced with the one that had been on this morning first up and it was about the same.
Thus weeks on and we are still not receiving reasonable AM radio reception (unless we turn off the NBN which rather defeats the purpose).
I'm over NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband. In itself in works well but by interfering with radio reception it means that we are without radio and its emergency messages.
With the bushfire season upon us. We need a remedy. Fast!
As I said on 21 July, NBN stole my radio or as good as. I want it back and compensation for all the messing around that we have had to put up with.
Today, the technicians were pointing the finger at the OutDoor Unit as the part that needed changing to stop the interference. As one said the antenna sends out a big bubble of radio noise capable of interfering with the radio. So maybe the prototype has to be the ODU rather than the IDU.
Here is a copy of the letter written to Ericsson who supply the Fixed Wireless Broadband equipment.
To Ericsson management,
Three months ago as part of the NBN rollout I received the Fixed Wireless Broadband set up. I understand that Ericsson are the prime contractors for the Fixed Wireless Broadband component of the NBN project. The installation went smoothly and the internet connection worked well with increased speeds and 500 GB download per month.
Then I switched on the radio late that afternoon and found my usual AM Local Radio station out of Bunbury WA was swamped by radio interference. I contacted, with many bureaucratic obstacles, my ISP, Telstra, who eventually got a message in the right format to NBN Co.
I have now had three visits from contractors from NBN Co - the last yesterday - who have changed both the antenna, the ODU, and the inside connecting box, the IDU, at least twice. The last IDU was a special prototype but it made no difference to the interference. All this has brought about a slight improvement to radio reception, though it is still not listenable.
Before the installation I received the best signal from 1044 Mw transmitted from Bridgetown 30 kms down the road which transmits ABC South West Local Radio.
I did some further tests today using an older style radio with a dial that has a marker that can be moved along showing the position when the radio is tuned to a station. In the kitchen, where we usually listen to the radio, I was able to pick up clearly and easily, ABC Local Radio from Wagin on 558. Moving the marker along I tuned into 684 out of Busselton. The noise level was low, but the signal was quite faint as we have a big hill between us and the transmitter. Once in the car and along the road about a km away we can hear 684 quite well. Moving the marker further on I hit a wall of static/interference starting around about 900 which continued through to about 1200.
We are in a bushfire prone area. The ABC Local Radio SW station out of Bunbury carries the emergency alerts for fires and storms, etc. The Wagin station transmits from Albany which is in another region so no good for us with respect to local news and alerts.
The procedures to fix this problem are not working effectively. I am spending many hours carrying out tests and trying to bring about a solution to the problem. It is hard to find someone who I can talk to and describe the problem. I sense that Telstra, NBN Co, Ericsson, contractors and the endusers are not communicating very well. The result is that I have a problem - not of my making - of not being able to listen to my radio with summer and the bushfire season approaching. It may well be that others are experiencing the same sort of interference, but have not reported it or who don't or can't listen to ABC Local Radio.
I realize that Ericsson is contracted to NBN Co which is itself a wholesaler, with the ISP, Telstra, the retailer being my service provider and theoretically the contact point. However, for weeks now I have been going through these conventional channels and have hardly made any progress.
A removal of the radio interference coming from the NBN-supplied equipment to be able to listen easily to my local ABC Radio would be appreciated.
I learnt today that a subdivision north of Donnybrook in SW WA, Argyle, does not have AM radio reception at all. It now has an NBN tower in place so residents would be able to stream ABC Local Radio via their Fixed Wireless Broadband set up.
So they don't have a problem of the NBN equipment causing interference to the radio signal because there is no signal getting through anyway! Most seem to have mobile coverage which could be made useful for Alerts and Warnings in case of bushfire or storm especially if they have a phone with the blue tick made for rural areas.
However, the first resource to go in the event of an emergency is usually the power. So let's hope the power is backed up otherwise communications will come to a standstill.
This Saturday 21 November 2015 decided to use my Platinum service with Telstra and call them in order to get them to try to fix the NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband causing interference to my AM radio.
As the retailer of the service, and my being the customer, Telstra has a contract with me to provide a service. At present I am paying for an inferior broadband service because when the Fixed Wireless Broadband is turned on there is the side effect of severe interference on the AM Radio station South West Regional Radio which is transmitted to me on 1044 from Bridgetown. The power of that transmitter is small only 1Kw whereas the signal from Wagin on 558 comes from much further away and is fine when the NBN FWB is connected. It has a transmitter with 50 Kw so produces a good signal to noise ratio even at some distance.
The drawback with receiving ABC Regional Radio from Wagin is that the content is coming from the Great Southern not the South West and although regional it is not localized. Emergency Warnings may not be broadcast from Wagin if they relate to the South West.
I am hopeful that Telstra will support this customer (me) vigorously to achieve a solution because I am not the only resident in the South West affected. A person from Donnybrook (a town 30 km north of us) called into the ABC to say that he has to turn off his FWB each night so he can listen to local regional ABC radio. The interference on his AM radio with NBN on is very strong.
With the Esperance bushfires still not over it is a timely reminder that we need to make the best use of all the communication channels when it comes to timely information in an emergency. One piece of technology - Fixed Wireless Broadband - should not render ABC Local Radio useless. It is the Emergency Channel on the AM band.
A report on the problem appeared in the Weekend Australian, 14-15 November, 2015 on page 11, The Nation. The article highlighted the problem I am experiencing at my property in Balingup in SW WA.
We have a solution in the form of a clever workaround.
What has been discovered.
Where we are in the South West of WA does not have good AM radio reception. Ours has been adequate, 1044 from Bridgetown, but the signal is weak and we have to tune it carefully at the best of times to get good reception.
NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband introduced a source of interference which in areas having a strong radio signal would have had negligible effect, but for those of us in marginal strength areas the effect was instant and substantial. For much of the time the radio was unlistenable. See the image below or go to the web site. http://reception.abc.net.au/Reception.aspx
We are in the red area for ABC Local Radio which means that reception is not very good.
When we realized we had a problem of interference to the AM ABC Local Radio station we contacted Telstra who are the telecommunications Retail Service Providers ie of the broadband set up. It took a while to organize as outlined in previous posts, but it is essential to go through the RSP that residents use. It is quite a technical process because the request has to be couched in technical terms using the proper protocols. Telstra, once they realized there was a problem, have been very supportive and I would recommend them to everyone in country Australia.
After changes to both the indoor unit (IDU) and the outdoor unit (ODU) that only gave a slight improvement, NBN Co and Ericsson, decided on another approach. This was to boost the radio signal by the use of an external antenna and to use a recent radio that was designed to make the best of difficult conditions. Last Thursday, 17 December, the Loop Antenna was installed at the edge of a gable and connected by cable to the radio in the kitchen. The radio is digitally tuned so it is definitely on the station. The PK Loop Antenna is connected to a box next to the radio which can be tuned to screen out the interference. The setup has worked beautifully.
For the first time for five months we have been able to listen to the radio normally including for bushfire alerts.
The radio comes with batteries which are charged up when the power is on. So it can work as a portable radio. Once away from the house and the Fixed Wireless Broadband and without its connection to the Loop Antenna it works satisfactorily picking up 1044 from the Bridgetown transmitter to the south of us.
The antenna can be sourced from the site listed here.
The two components would cost about $400 plus installation and incidentals. The antenna is called C-LOOP-HDLRAM
This set up would be applicable for other installations of NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband where AM radio reception is not very strong.
It could also be used in those areas, of which there are many in the South West of WA, who can't receive AM Radio. The antenna and radio combination might make a difference and give greater safety by being able to listen to bushfire and other emergency alerts.
A friend who is a Ham radio operator has just this week had an NBN technician install new version outdoor & indoor units, which has at last resolved his AM broadcast & shortwave band interference issues. Both units are the V2 variety & look identical to the earlier devices, but with an important distinction - they are both labelled as "Rev 1b" versions. He is apparently one of the very first customers to receive this new equipment. He was in direct contact with the NBN engineering folk and he was able to give them very specific information on the frequencies eminating from the NBN equipment that were causing the interference.
Interesting to hear about this. What I got was a 'workaround' which did not solve the real problem of interference emanating from the NBN equipment. instead December 2015 I was provided, by NBN Co, with a new digital radio which could be precisely tuned to the local AM ABC station in SW WA and an external antenna. This set up worked ok but only whilst the radio was plugged into the external antenna. I can't use the radio anywhere else in the house because I get the interference from the NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband set up. I noticed this as a problem earlier this year when I wanted to listen to the radio elsewhere in the house whilst there were ongoing bushfires in the region.
In the past couple of months AM radio reception has deteriorated and I constanly get background noice sometimes to the extent that I turn off the radio. I can tune the external antenna, which can improve the signal to noise ratio but there is still static at all times - unless i turn off the NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband, of course. Turning off the NBN is pointless because then I obviously don't get internet, emails, nor wifi in the house.
Thanks for letting me know about the ODU and IDU "Rev 1b" versions. How can one get in touch with the NBN engineering folk?
We have another bushfire season coming up within three months and it is imperative that we have as many options as possible to access information.
Hi Montaza, You could try the following contact form for NBNCo: https://www1.nbnco.com.au/corporate-information/contact-us-form.html
Let us know how you get on.

Well then, Good News! you can stream all ABC Broadcasts. For Android there are a couple of apps that contain all ABC Radio stations in the one app. its great I use it. I love news radio too. Lately I have using streamed news radio (from ABC) more and more. now the only time I use analog radio is in the car. any other time I am streaming it.

also, you may like to double check if your AM Radio station is not being simulcast on the FM Band somewhere too. A Couple of my fav ABC Radio stations are on both AM & FM.
Streaming ABC Local Radio does not always deliver the local radio station. Important for us as we live in a fire prone area and want to listen for Alerts. We are in the country and there is only the AM band to listen for the Local Radio station out of Bunbury - ABC Local SW Radio. With an external antenna the reception is sometimes passable but lately it has increased static.
No, NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband has caused the interference.They have provided me with a work-around which is barely satisfactory.
Really NBN needs to fix the primary problem - their equipment is causing interference to a local AM Radio station. This is against the law, interference with a carriage service.
I heard somewhere that there is later equipment that does not cause interference, but hard to find out more.
I have requested that Telstra take the necessary steps to convey details of the fault with the Fixed Wireless Broadband to NBN. I now have an Incident No. 000003533282.
Yesterday I tried using the call back link on my phone where the Telstra agent is to get back to me in 45 minutes, but nothing.
I have just tried again on another link I had but don't know if that will work.
On Tuesday 13 December I spent two hours on the phone to Telstra trying to get action on the issue of the interference caused by the NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband to AM local radio on the 1044 or 684 MV bands. I spent a very long time detailing the fact that whenever the FWB is on the radio signal experiences interference. The problem is somewhat resolved by having an external antenna connected to amplify the signal, but often the radio has too much static for listening to it.
If I switch off the FWB the signal is fine, but then that means I don't have the internet, nor email, etc.
The bureaucratic structures between Telstra and NBN are cumbersome and unwieldy. I spent so much time trying to answer technical questions about the problem to someone probably in the Phillipines with an accent and not much technical knowledge.
A call has come through so I hope I may be able to get information on progress of the solution to reduce the radio interference from FWB.
At last, on Monday 16 January 2017, have finally received an NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband set up that does not cause interference to AM Local Radio. We usually listen to ABC Local Radio out of Bunbury via 684 MW or 1044 MW, the former is the stronger signal.
Eighteen months ago Fixed Wireless Broadband was installed and it instantly caused massive interference to the local AM Radio. NBN provided a workaround in the form of providing an external antenna and a digital radio. This worked for a year or so but in the past few months the signal had deteriorated to the extent that there was always a buzz in the background (unless the FWB was turned off, but that rather defeats the purpose).
In late November 2016 contacted Telstra and with lots of to-and-froing finally got through to NBN which organised for an updated FWB set up that was designed to reduce AM radio interference.
Here are images of the product labels showing version IDs and here is the new Outdoor Unit in place and working.
Thanks Montaza. We have just had NBN installed in Bakers Hill WA and immediately experienced the same radio issue (no signal at all but specifically no radio signal for bushfire emergency warnings).
Here's what's been done so far:
23 MARCH 2017 I rang Telsta 13 22 00: they say that because there is no actual fault with the equipment, we should call NBN.
24 MARCH 2017 I sent a web form to NBN (linking to your crowd support post): they emailed back saying that it's not their problem and we should call our Retail Service Provider (Telstra).
24 MARCH 2017 I sent another enquiry to Telstra (this time via a web form to keep written records); stating NBN's response. I await their reply but am expecting more duck shoving or 'to and froing' as you say.
In the meantime Montaza, would you please clarify: did you phone NBN direct, who agreed to fix the issue with replacement equipment? Or did you ring Telstra direct and it was they who arranged for the technician to come out (again) and install the work-around equipment shown on your images?
Thank you and kind regards
Commiserations! It took me months to convince NBN that there was a problem with their equipment.
I had to go through Telstra initially but eventually got through to NBN because it was essentially an NBN problem. I received a work-around solution from NBN, ie as you may have seen in the Crowdsupport posts, I was given a digital radio and an external antenna which boosted the radio signal so I could hear it better above the static. This was about Christmas 2015.
However by late last year the static caused by NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband equipment had got worse so I tried again to get the problem fixed. Again I also tried through Telstra but as it's not their equipment and they don't seem to know what is going on, I also went direct to a contact I had had with nbnco.
My original contact had moved on but another person from nbnco contacted me on 6 December 2016.
Here is a copy of their email to me.
My apologies for the delay in responding to your email; <named removed> no longer works for nbn and this has contributed to the delay.
I can see that the radio interference issue was addressed in late 2015 early 2016, however it has returned.
I have created a new case and my colleague Michael Cauchi will make contact with you and work with you to resolve the issue. If the issue is still happening can I ask that you report a fault to your service provider and ask it to lodge an incident against nbn for radio interference. This should result in a technician visit and Michael can liaise with you and field teams.
Kind Regards
Please note that nbn Case Management will be closed from the afternoon of 23 December 2016 and will reopen on 3 January 2017. Have a Happy Christmas and Safe New Year.

I kept contacting both Telstra and nbnco, but there were plenty of gaps in communications. There are contractors to nbnco and subcontractors so I had to be persistent. Anyway, late in 2016 the updated equipment arrived by post. It would appear that both the Outdoor Unit (the antenna, ODU) and the Indoor Unit (box on the wall, IDU) have to be revised versions that suppress wireless interference. Here is a pic with the codes showing revision numbers in bottom RH corner. nbnco contractors then organized a local subcontractor to change over the ODU and the IDU and the radio interference ceased. For the first time in 18 months I could have both the NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband on at the same time with no interference. I tried to keep Telstra in the loop, but not easy to get through. From memory I told Telstra it was fixed as they had not been informed. Hope this helps - be persistent!

Telstra removed the contact details of the nbnco team member so this makes it more difficult. I'm on Facebook, are you? Find me at Firewise W Australia if you are and we can follow up.
Hello NBN Gullibles,
This "issue" is not solved.
Apologies, but no where in this thread have I seen any evidence of a redesign of either the Indoor or Outdoor units to absolutely NOT splatter RF about where it's not wanted or needed. That's with WiFi on, or off.
All I see are patches and cludges to lessen the impact of what is obviously a Bad Design or three, and I suspect that at least one of those mentioned will be shifting the 'noise' to a band less used by us peoples. Let's hope it doesn't turn every outdoor antenna into some diabolical black box that stuffs up NDB and VOR aviation beacons. Half a joke, right there:-)
If you let NBN Co. get away with this rubbish at the get-go, expect more of the same for ever more.
(That translates as 'You'll be sorry')
ACMA – are you listening?
Add in the tosh about being able to stream content etc, and there you have it - the nascent NBN it right off the bat treating it's customers with zero respect.
Respect? well consider this - you and I are being force-fed a solution that saturates us with RF. So, OK, we can possibly forgive that - after all, we're already being slow-roasted by the stuff with the mobile network, our own wireless networks etc etc. but clearly the chance to have No RF radiation associated with the NBN (as supplied to a minority, natch) has been sacrificed on the altar of political expediency. We see that in the future, measurements of exposure will likely be based on the actual op frequencies and further those measurements will not include the bonus rubbish emitted continuously all over the place, yes - right down to ye olde AM radio long wave. We've been listening to crackle and pop AM for a very long time indeed.
Those crackles and pops are from the environment, and tolerated. Brave New World says we get to accept new sources of interference from garbage pedalled to us in the name of progress?
Don't think so.
So, there ya go - NBN MINORITY Customers - something to think about.
You, and we, don't deserve it. Apparently.
Engineers in attendance? You should know exactly what I'm on about. Yet another profession failure.
Shame, shame, shame.
The updated equipment from NBN installed this year worked in that we had ABC Local AM Radio from the SW without a huge amount of static. It took a while to be able to listen to the radio easily, but after 18 months we have a similar reception from that which we had before NBN Fixed Wireless Broadband was connected in July 2015. It has been very frustrating but it does work now.
We are SE of Queanbeyan and get AM radio from Canberra. Since the NBN Fixed Wireless was installed we have had difficulty with ABC AM Radio (666 and 846) reception. The aerial on the roof generates very loud interference noise that peaks at various places on the AM band.
My testing shows that a battery powered AM radio works but anything powered by the mains gets interference.
I have tried powering the NBN equipment from batteries but get the same result.
My guess is that the unshielded cable between the wall unit and the roof mounter aerial is radiating and this is getting picked up by the mains as they share the "duct" in the wall.
Our interference only starts when the roof unit comes to life, i.e. 30-50 seconds after powering the wall unit.
Why is this cable not shielded?
I note that the plugpack does not have an earth lead. This means that it is all floating and will be radiating happily. Great!
So, how do I go about getting this fixed? NBN equipment is causing interference to my radio reception.
If I turn it off then reception is fine.
I am hesitant about waiting online for hours with telstra but I suppose that is what I will be doing.
Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks
Steve H.
Hi Steve,
Have a look at the post I made on 19/01/2017, when for me the revised ODU and IDU once installed did not cause interference to AM Local Radio. Up til then there had been serious interference whenever the NBN FWB was turned on. If still problems post again and I'll add anything else that might help.
Good luck.
I had the same or very similar problem. After 18 months it was eventually fixed when I prevailed upon NBN to provide me with the latest version of the Indoor and Outdoor Unit for the Fixed Wireless Broadband. If you go to the post of 19/01/2017 I've written up the result including images of the equipment labels.
I have marked it solved, so it should be at the top of the postings.
Hope this helps.

Greenville Hospital System — which already operates a Life Center that includes a health club facility for hospital employees, cardiac rehabilitation patients and the general public — plans to build two more similar health facilities in the county.
The club owners in the area, who have banded together with a local taxpayer group to form the Coalition for Healthy Competition, have complained that the hospital has moved too far fromits original intent, which is to provide good health care for citizens of the county. In addition, the two facilities would be located in markets that are already saturated, and the hospital, as a non-profit entity, enjoys unfair tax advantages over for-profit clubs, said Bob Provost, owner of the Greenville Racquet & Health Club, which would be 7/8th of a mile from one of the proposed clubs.
The coalition recently handed the hospital administration three variations on the hospital's plans for the wellness center after the administration met with the club owners and asked for their suggestions.
The first option suggests running the new facilities for employees and patients only. The second option is to lease out the fitness portion of the wellness project to an independent, for-profit operator. The last option would be to run the facility on a for-profit basis with a few caveats. Those caveats are that if the wellness center uses hospital money, then the for-profit division would pay a debt service on that money; that the for-profit division would pay real estate and property taxes on the property used; and that all sales taxes on supplies and equipment would be paid and that the facilities would pay state and federal income tax on any profits.
The hospital's current health club — which has 500 cardiac patients, 1,500 hospital employee members and 4,000 members from the community — includes amenities such as a swimming pool, running track and weight equipment, as well as cardiac rehabilitation. The hospital system plans to provide similar amenities at the new facilities. Provost's 60,000-square-foot club is a multipurpose center that already offers locals an indoor and outdoor track, a swimming pool, basketball, racquetball, indoor and outdoor tennis and cardiovascular, strength and weight equipment.
George Gagnon is owner of Greer Athletic Club, a fitness-only facility near the site of the second planned facility in Greer, S.C. He also is part of the club coalition.
"We don't mind competition — we aren't afraid of that," said Gagnon. "We just want fair competition. Our goal is to stop these facilities and bring the hospital system to accountability."
If the clubs are built, Provost and Gagnon say that all hope is not lost although some of their membership may be.
"We'd just have to plan to beat them at the game of the club business with better classes, better attention to needs, a cleaner facility, keeping up with the best equipment, and having the most up-to-date classes," Provost said.
The hospital plans to begin constructing the first facility in January 2004 with construction expected to take 18 months.

How Much Should The Federal Government Subsidize Retirement? - Part IICommentary by John C Goodman
December 13, 2012
Source: Forbes
Our federal deficit problem is an entitlement problem. And our entitlement problem is mainly about income and health care for the elderly. As I pointed out in a previous post, entitlements for the elderly mainly subsidize retirement. If we cut back on spending, seniors will have less retirement income unless they work more and save more to replace those retrenchments.
How much should we cut back and how should we do it?
One frequently mentioned proposal is to raise the age of eligibility — which is inching up to age 67 for normal Social Security benefits and age 65 for Medicare. Increased life expectancy is allowing seniors to collect more benefits than was originally intended, it is argued. So we need to raise the eligibility age to keep the system solvent. Since 1970, for example, life expectancy at birth has increased seven years. To keep Social Security and Medicare affordable, therefore, should we consider increasing the age of eligibility by seven years?
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman calls such proposals "cruel," arguing that the life expectancy gains at age 65 are mainly the gains of the top half of the income distribution. (See the chart.) Krugman writes:
[A]ny further rise in the retirement age would be a harsh blow to Americans in the bottom half of the income distribution, who aren't living much longer, and who, in many cases, have jobs requiring physical effort that's difficult even for healthy seniors. And these are precisely the people who depend most on Social Security.
Another study of income and life expectancy was produced by Thomas Saving and his colleagues for my own National Center for Policy Analysis. This one used county data and it found that life expectancy generally rises as lifetime income rises. In other words, the more you earn, the longer you live, although the relationship is far from perfect. Again, the inference is that a higher retirement age, as the sole strategy in reforming Social Security, hurts lower income retirees the most.
But wait a minute. The real problem here is that not everyone can expect to live to the same age. And income isn't the only thing that matters. Take race and sex, for example. A white male today has a life expectancy at birth that is five years longer than a black male. A white female at birth has a life expectancy of about 10 years longer than a black male. Raising the retirement age would take proportionately more benefits away from blacks than whites and from men than women.
Life expectancy also differs by location. According to one study:
[T]he range of life expectancy at birth for the years 1999-2001 extended from 72.3 for the District of Columbia (lowest) and 73.6 for Mississippi (second lowest) to 79.0 for Minnesota (second highest) and 79.7 for Hawaii (highest). Life expectancy at age 50 for the same years reflected a similar hierarchy: from 28.0 for both the District of Columbia and Mississippi to 31.4 for Minnesota and 32.4 for Hawaii.
The disparities are even greater at the county level, where life expectancy at birth for women who live in the top county is 13 years longer than for women who live in the county at the bottom. Among males, life expectancy at the county level differs by 18 years!
Saving and his colleagues point out that if our chief concern is over the progressivity of benefits there is another way to go about reform: raise the eligibility age and at the same time change the benefit formula to offset the regressive effects of the age change. This saves the government money while maintaining the current progressivity of Social Security.
But there is something else to consider. Why do differences in life expectancy exist? Surely part of the reason is the choice of lifestyles. Some people live healthier lives than other. If we want to encourage healthier living (and just about everybody seems to want to do that) doesn't it make sense to allow people who live healthier lives to reap the economic rewards of doing so?
Any eligibility age arbitrarily favors some groups over others. But why do we all have to have the same age of retirement? In Chile people can choose their own retirement age. Chileans save in private accounts and when they have saved enough to provide a minimum retirement income, they can purchase a retirement income annuity — at any age! Plus they can keep right on working while they receive their annuity.
Had we been wise enough to follow Chile's example, we wouldn't be having this debate.

text: Thursday, January 12, 2012 NIDRR Seeks PT Reviewers for Standing Panels Physical therapists (PTs) are encouraged to apply to become peer reviewers for the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) to evaluate Field Initiated Project (FIP) applications. NIDRR receives more than 250 FIP applications per year. NIDRR uses standing panels to enhance continuity, provide for more extensive feedback, and obtain the services of better-qualified reviewers, including those with disabilities and those from diverse backgrounds. Generally, peer reviewers serve for 3-year terms on the standing panels with 1 review per year. Individuals may be qualified to be peer reviewers on the basis of education and training or some combination of personal and professional experience with disability. Federal government employees are not eligible to serve as peer reviewers for NIDRR. If you are interested in nominating yourself or someone else to serve as a reviewer, submit the following 3 items to David Keer at email@example.com: a statement indicating willingness to serve on an FIP standing review panel, a few sentences summarizing areas of expertise, and an attached copy of a CV or resume. The standing panels NIDRR uses are in the areas of: (1) employment outcomes; (2) health and function; (3) technology for access and function; (4) participation and community living; and (5) statistics, outcomes research, disability studies, rehabilitation science, and policy. Each panel has 7 reviewers. In any given year the dates of the review might not work for an individual reviewer, hence a large pool of potential FIP reviewers is needed. The review panel meets (via teleconference) for 3 consecutive full-time days to discuss the panel's assigned proposals. About 4 weeks prior to the review, NIDRR mails each reviewer the 16-20 proposals that the panel will discuss.

Ravens put Stokley on IR
Owings Mills, MD (SportsNetwork.com) - The Baltimore Ravens placed wide receiver Brandon Stokley on injured reserve due to a concussion.
Stokley has suffered multiple concussions over the course of his career and the Ravens determined after testing that this would end his season.
The 37-year-old Stokley played in just six games this year due to multiple injuries. He caught 13 passes for 115 yards.
To take Stokley's place on the 53-man roster, the Ravens re-signed running back Bernard Scott.

Bitterblue (Graceling Realms #3)
Kristin Cashore
Publication Date: May 1st 2012
Publisher: Dial
Pages: 563
Genre: Fantasy, Young Ault
Eight years after Graceling, Bitterblue is now queen of Monsea. But the influence of her father, a violent psychopath with mind-altering abilities, lives on. Her advisors, who have run things since Leck died, believe in a forward-thinking plan: Pardon all who committed terrible acts under Leck's reign, and forget anything bad ever happened. But when Bitterblue begins sneaking outside the castle—disguised and alone—to walk the streets of her own city, she starts realizing that the kingdom has been under the thirty-five-year spell of a madman, and the only way to move forward is to revisit the past.
Two thieves, who only steal what has already been stolen, change her life forever. They hold a key to the truth of Leck's reign. And one of them, with an extreme skill called a Grace that he hasn't yet identified, holds a key to her heart.
I have been waiting to read Bitterblue for so long that when it was released, I could hardly believe I could actually read it. Then I realized that Kristin Cashore was coming to my alma mater's town and I wasn't there to see her and I became rather upset (I believe I tweeted about it), soon after a close friend of mine from college came to my rescue and vowed to go to the book signing for me and get me Bitterblue, so I waited until I could head up to Chicago and get it from her.
My personalized signed copy of Bitterblue may now be one of the greatest treasures that I own.
Back to the actual book, however, it is just as good as Graceling and Fire, perhaps even better. It takes about eight/nine years after Graceling and possibly around twenty five plus after Fire, and the tie is King Leck, though he is now dead, his legacy continues to affect the
. It is a beautiful tale of how
much damage Leck had done to Monsea and how damage like that isn't easily
fixed. land of Monsea
Queen Bitterblue marks another strong female character Cashore has brought us, but what I like is that she is strong in a different way. She has no Grace or special ability, she is not especially strong or good with a weapon, but instead she uses her mind and loves her people, wanting to help them, but feeling trapped. Her characterization raises my respect for Cashore as she truly felt like a person, rather than a character in a book. She had her own faults, her own little habits, and though she tried her hardest she didn't always win.
The illustrations in Bitterblue are also a fantastic addition to the book. They fit perfectly with the feel of the story, on top of having many new beautiful maps to look at. I also really liked how the book was split up into parts (I am finding this structure more and more in YA books and I have to admit I really like how it ends up working). It helped me to keep track of the timeline in the novel, while separating each focus in the book in a nice way.
The way Leck had affected the minds of Bitterblue's advisors and what he did to them was so terrible. They honestly had all gone crazy, and who could blame them. They were forced to do things that were terrible just for a sociopath's whims. The fact that two of them commited suicide is heartbreaking, but not unexpected, and when you realize these things, the list Bitterblue makes in the beginning when she starts to want to know what's going on seems so childish.
On the other hand, the fact that Bitterblue discovers that Hava is her sister filled me with happiness, I started guessing that they were sisters about 3/4ths through the book when it became apparent that her mother had been in the castle and keeping a secret from Leck. It is nice to leave Bitterblue as a reader without feeling like we are leaving her all alone.
Speaking of being alone, I really liked the way that Bitterblue and Sapphire were handled as a couple as well. It feels so much like first love and sometimes it doesn't always work out. They loved each other, but a fight and the situation pushed them apart and they let it happen. I do wonder however where Bitterblue well end up in the end heart wise.
Speaking of relationships, Fire and Brigan are still together! This pleases me so! It also pleased me a lot to see Fire coming through to Monsea. She really could identify with Bitterblue, considering their fathers, and it was really nice seeing Graceling and Fire truly connected by having Katsa and Fire meet each other and not just be known to have the same enemy at some point in their lives.
I recommend this book to everyone! Okay, maybe not everyone, but it has actually pushed out and above Graceling in my top ten favourite books to read. I'll probably reread it to death like I did Graceling, although I will work hard to keep it in good quality. It is a very well written book, and one of the best "clean up" books I've read in YA (Other "clean up" books include Outside In by Maria V. Snyder, and both Hunger and Lies by Michael Grant).

There are those days which seem a taking in of breath which, held, suspends the whole earth in its waiting. Some summers refuse to end.
So along the road those flowers spread that, when touched, give down a shower of autumn rust. By every path it looks as if a ruined circus had passed and loosed a trail of ancient iron at every turning of a wheel. The rust was laid out everywhere, strewn under trees and by riverbanks and near the tracks themselves where once a locomotive had gone but went no more. So flowered flakes and railroad track together turned to moulderings upon the rim of autumn.
"Look, Doug," said Grandpa, driving into town from the farm. Behind them in the Kissel Kar were six large pumpkins picked fresh from the patch. "See those flowers?"
"Yes, sir."
"Farewell summer, Doug. That's the name of those flowers. Feel the air? August come back. Farewell summer."
From FAREWELL SUMMER, by Ray Bradbury

Amen, brother. Nights in the 40's up here. Great nights for backyard campfires--a fall tradition for us.

Living In London – Getting a National Insurance Number
If you are going to be living in London for any amount of time, then you'll have to apply for a National Insurance number as soon as you arrive. It is as important as having a Social Security number and will have a huge impact on your life in London and the facilities and services that you are allowed to use. An NI number is a sort of identification number that the government will use to identify you and your contributions to tax, and other services while you are living in London. It is important in a number of ways including signing a lease on a London apartment, opening a bank account and using the health care services and hospitals.


text: Earlier today, a patient of the National Aquarium's Animal Rescue program received a very special plane ride to Florida aboard the private plane of Aquarium board members, Mary and Harold Graul. The green sea turtle was flown to the Marine Science Center, bidding the cold temperatures of the Northeast goodbye. The sea turtle came to the Aquarium in the fall after being rescued off the Maryland coast where it was found cold stunned. After a few months of rehabilitation by the Aquarium's vets and MARP team, the animal was approved to be released back into its natural habitat. Unfortunately, the waters at this time of year are too cold for the turtle, so its return to sea had to be postponed. To make room for new patients to the National Aquarium, the Marine Science Center agreed to keep the turtle until the water reaches warmer temperatures. In a few months the Aquarium's Animal Rescue team will travel down to Florida with a satellite tracking tag and release the turtle back into the ocean. Click here to see how other animals have been tracked over the years! Tags: green-sea-turtle, rescued-turtles Categories: Animal Rescue, Animals Previous Post Next Post
