About Infrared
Automotive Infrared Space Heater
Efficiently heat open-door service areas
Most auto service garages and vehicle maintenance facilities have a high percentage of open-door area in relationship to the overall square footage. Cold vehicles being brought in the space make Automotive infrared space heaters ideal for economically heating this space.
Overhead doors and vehicle lifts must be taken into consideration in the placement of heaters as doors or vehicles raised on the lifts may be damaged by infrared heaters placed in close proximity. The presence of vehicle lifts sometimes forces the placement of heaters down center aisles with reflectors angled toward the bay area. Also, care must be taken to maintain clearances from hose reels, exhaust collection systems, etc.
Here are some tips:
- Place infrared heaters far enough away from overhead doors, vehicle lifts and/or lifting vehicles to avoid damage. Vehicle lifts sometimes require heaters be placed in center aisles with reflectors angled toward bay areas.
- Maintain clearances from hose reels, exhaust collection systems, etc.
- Use low-intensity infrared tube heaters with outside air supplied to each heater to avoid issues with chemicals, such as degreasers, parts washers, rust-proofing, etc.
- Mechanically ventilate chemical contaminants from the space, even if the heating system uses tube heaters with outside air.
- Since most chemical fumes are heavier than air, ventilate the lower level of the building.
Equipment Selection
Depending on mounting-height requirements, a full range of infrared heater models is available for auto service centers. Most centers use 75,000-150,000 BTU/h tubes, but high-intensity DR Series Heaters (30,000-90,000 BTU's) are available as well.
A vacuum system is usually prohibitive, due to size and cost constraints. However, two-stage models, such as the HL3 Series, provide faster heat recoveries as doors are opened and closed.
Heaters are thermostatically controlled and very often interlocked with ventilation when unvented, high-intensity DR Series heaters are installed.
Typically, you'll want to install heaters in a perimeter-mounted design. Stack the door areas with extra units, or locate tube-burner boxes there to provide extra heat. Avoid violating the published clearances to combustibles with open doors and/or lifts with vehicles lifted.
It's also common to locate tube heaters between lift rows (or center of the building) or along walls, with reflectors positioned inward. Again, we highly recommend outside combustion air. Finally, never place any heater inside a paint booth.
Detroit Radiant Products is pleased to offer a full line of low-intensity Automotive infrared space heaters specifically designed for the automotive marketplace.

Photographing the Land of Fire and Ice
Iurie Belegurschi
When Iurie Belegurschi moved from his native Moldova to Iceland in 2006, he quickly fell in love with the country and its people. Thirteen years later, it's now his home and the place where he runs Iceland's leading photo tours travel agency. Inspired by the country's natural beauty, Iurie picked up a camera to capture it and hasn't looked back since, making the country's ever changing landscape his always on-going project.
For Iurie, being within touching distance of the Arctic Circle with its hugely varying climate and lighting offers so many opportunities for him as a photographer.

"The climate and the light always have a huge effect on my photography," he explains, "and I always need to keep track of the weather so that I can prepare as best I can to be in the right place at the right time for the best images."
As the light in Iceland also varies hugely, with winter days lasting just a few hours and summer days having almost 24 hours of daylight, there is a lot for Iurie to work with.
"I can spend all night outside shooting in winter," he says, "if the conditions are favourable and the Northern Lights are making a display! In summer, with almost constant daylight, there's a lot of time to work with. However, the best light, the golden light, can last for hours around midnight, so I often have to rest during the day and shoot all night."

As well as having to keep himself warm while he's out shooting, it is also important that Iurie's cameras and lenses can manage in the harsh conditions, and his Sony Alpha kit is well up to the task.
"With older cameras," he tells us, "the battery life and LCD screen could be easily affected by the cold, however the battery life on the α7R III is great and has really good weather-sealing so I can spend a lot longer out in the cold capturing my shots."
With the volcanic island still being carved and chiseled by the elements with each passing season, new landscapes are being created over time, which is why Iurie says he will never be bored of photographing the country; and why it remains an ongoing project.

"New ice caves are found every year and glacial rivers are continually changing their direction of flow," he says. "This means that no matter how often you photograph a certain location, there is always a new composition to be found the next year. I can go back to the same places many times and find that the light and weather is completely different, which means that it's always exciting!"
Great light is obviously important in a landscape image, but what Iurie is really looking for are features in the landscape that will grab a viewer's attention and pull them in to the scene. "When I'm able to combine something that draws in the viewer's eye with good lighting," Iurie explains, "then I know that I have a great image."
Iurie Belegurschi | Sony α7R II + FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM | 30s @ f/2.8, ISO 1600
To capture these scenes, he uses wide angle lenses, with his current 'go-to' lens being the Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 G Master lens. "I often use it to get up close to a subject in the foreground," he tells us, "really exaggerating it to make something otherwise mundane into something really interesting, and it also helps to add depth to a landscape scene."
Once he has found the scene he wants to capture, Iurie's focus is then on making sure he gets the perfect exposure. "I expose all of my images manually," he explains, "using the histogram on the camera screen as my guide. My aim is to try and avoid clipping in the highlights or the shadows. Thankfully, the dynamic range offered by my α7R III means that this has become less of an issue for me as it has fantastic details in both the highlights and shadows."
© Iurie Belegurschi | Sony α7R II + FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM | 10s @ f/2.8, ISO 3200
With the scene now captured, the final stage in Iurie's creative process is editing, which he enjoys almost as much as being out shooting. "It's an opportunity for a photographer to really achieve their own style," he reflects. "Once I've edited an image I will often leave it for a few days, then look over it again with a fresh pair of eyes. You'll be amazed at what kinds of changes you might want to make after taking a break away."
© Iurie Belegurschi | Sony α7R II | 1/1000s @ f/8.0, ISO 200
And what advice would Iurie offer to those visiting Iceland? "Make sure that you are well-prepared," he stresses, "and that you've done your research. This includes not just knowing where you want to go to shoot, but also planning ahead to make sure that you'll capture them in the best light. It's a lot of work but it will guarantee that you will return home with stunning photos."

Samsung Galaxy S6 Expected to Debut in India in Mid-April
Samsung's upcoming flagship Galaxy S6 is the next big thing everybody is waiting for. It is scheduled to unveil at Barcelona on March 1 at the Mobile World Conference (MWC) 2015. The global launch is just around the corner and a fresh round of rumours suggest that it will possibly land in India in April.
With global launch date drawing nearer, the Korean firm is expected to make things clearer soon. As per IBN Live, the handset will be up for pre-bookings from March itself and the registrations will open for only a couple of weeks.
Considering the rumours, the Galaxy S6 looks promising and this is what Samsung needs at this moment; a powerful, value for money and an exceptional device. The company is said to have revamped almost everything – from design to software and hardware – it could prove to be a saviour for the drowning electronics producer. With Samsung's market share following a steep fall in every segment (recently, the tablet segment), Galaxy S6 is its one hope.

Some are testing the market for government-specific social media consulting.
The rise of social media has forced government agencies to revamp their online offerings in order to keep pace with perceived public expectations. Some departments have made a smoother transition than others to e-government strategies that often center on Facebook and Twitter.
There are many issues to sort out — such as usage policies for social media, Web design and back-end system integration. There's sentiment that many governments may not have enough expertise to make these decisions themselves, especially with an aging workforce that was hired long before "Retweet" was a word.
At least a few companies believe this perceived knowledge gap is bringing forth a business opportunity: social media consulting that caters to government clients.
One such entrepreneur is Kristy Fifelski, the Web services program manager for the city of Reno, Nev. — who is also known by her online alias GovGirl. Two weeks ago Fifelski launched her own social media consulting firm called DigitalGov Group, which will work with city, county and state governments when they develop social media and policy. Fifelski's company is offering social media assessment, policy development, account setup for websites like Twitter and Facebook, and staff training. The company is offering its services either online or onsite.
Fifelski, who is the CEO and lead social media expert for the company, said she considers her startup to be one of the first founded specifically to work with government clients.
Why should a government consider hiring consulting firm like Fifelski's? A robust social media presence for government agencies creates return on investment for agencies, she said. Agencies should seek outside help, she said, when creating social media that helps citizens — particularly to prepare for emergency situations that require mass communication efforts.
"It's not the time to be thinking, 'Well I guess we should have set up social media channels for communication and in emergency events,'" Fifelski said. "I think it's critical to put the work and thought in about this beforehand."
Another reason for social media consulting, Fifelski said, is that when agencies don't have proper policies in place, government employees can come under fire if they post embarrassing or inappropriate content on their personal social networking accounts. For example, if employees mention on their personal accounts that they work for a specific government agency, the inappropriate material on those accounts can put the agency at risk of public uproar. Developing policies helps agencies follow protocol on how to handle such mishaps or prevent them in the first place, Fifelski said.
Fifelski's new firm isn't the only company working within the nexus of government and social media.
Jed Sundwall, president of Measured Voice, an Internet communications consultancy for the private and public sectors, has worked for more than three years with the federal government on social media and their policies, he said. Sundwall's company helped develop social media and social media policies for USA.gov.
Sundwall said he doesn't see big demand now from government for social media services from private consulting firms. But he does anticipate it to increase in the next few years.
"There's all this other pressure that if social media becomes more and more mainstream, and as more and more consumers use it, it becomes less easy to deny that it has to be a pillar of your communication strategy," Sundwall said.
Staying In-House
It's probably too soon to tell if government agencies contracting with a private company for social media work is a viable long-term strategy. Some governments have steered away in favor of developing social media and policy all in-house. Utah, for example, released social media guidelines for its employees in 2009 and never sought outside help when developing the rules.
Utah CIO Steve Fletcher said the benefit of developing the guidelines in-house is that those who enforce the guidelines will better understand them and the policy will relate directly to what the state wishes to accomplish with social media.
Utah adapted its guidelines for social media from similar policies already enacted in the private sector. The state received permission from companies to use their best practices for social media.
Fletcher said he thinks creating social media guidelines isn't a difficult task. And because creating accounts on websites like Facebook and Twitter costs nothing, he said spending money on a consulting firm to help develop those accounts isn't a worthwhile expenditure.
"There are lots of difficult tasks that we do hire outside help for," Fletcher said. "But personally, for me, this wouldn't be one of those because there's so much information already out there."

"Nightmare in Silver" is Neil Gaiman's vision of a consolidated, constantly evolving Cyberman army, one that can upgrade at speed and overcome any obstacle, like a metallic virus.
It also shows the Doctor at war with a possessed version of himself, a challenge that fully tested Matt Smith's ability to play games with his face while getting important character details across.
Here are a few things to keep an eye out for, the next time you watch:
(The episode is available on iTunes and Amazon.)
Neil Gaiman based his story on the idea that the two dominant strains of Cybermen — those that evolved from the planets Mondas ("The Tenth Planet") and Telos ("The Tomb of the Cybermen") and those created in a parallel universe by Cyrus industries — had somehow met and forged an alliance: "My theory is the Cybus Cybermen were sent to Victorian days and zapped off into time and space at the end of "The Next Doctor." They met a bunch of the Mondasian/Telosian Cybermen, and there was some cross-breeding and interchange of technology, which is why you then get the ones that look like, but actually aren't, the Cybus Cybermen. And then I thought well, they're going to keep upgrading themselves – my computer doesn't look like it did five or ten years ago, definitely not 15 years ago. It's going to be faster and it's going to be better. So let's make the Cybermen faster and slicker and better."
The end of the story was planned to be a version of the Cyberiad which showed all the various iterations of the Cybermen throughout Doctor Who history plotting to entrap the Doctor.
Naming the story proved to be problematic. It had the working titles "The Last of The Cybermen," "Silver Ghosts" and "The Saviour of the Cybermen," before Gaiman settled first on "The Last Cyberman" and finally "Nightmare in Silver," a condensed version of an earlier idea — "A Nightmare In Silver."
The idea of a Cyber-Planner came from 1968's "The Wheel in Space," which featured an unnamed and immobile central hub intelligence to coordinate Cyber-forces. Gaiman wanted to update this role, and give it some personality, opting to place it inside the Doctor's head rather than within a computer.
Gaiman's favorite Doctor at the time of writing the episode was Smith, despite having grown up loving Patrick Troughton's Second Doctor: "Matt Smith is amazing, and it's writing for him that gives me an increased awareness of how amazing. He is technically one of England's finest actors. Matt for me is the only Doctor who really feels a thousand years old and a kid – he really is this ancient space alien."
Several moments of the plot were changed during the writing process, which also had to bear the loss of Gaiman's laptop. At first this was an adventure written for the Doctor's new companion — the Victorian governess Beryl that eventually became an early incarnation of Clara Oswald — featuring an assortment of alien circus freaks. These were later changed to an all-female punishment platoon, then a mixed brigade. The final showdown took place on an island, which was also called Natty Longshoe.
Speaking of which, the name Natty Longshoe was a nod to Astrid Lindgren's 1945 children's novel Pippi Långstrump, better known to Anglophenia readers as Pippi Longstocking. The name Nehemiam Webley came from the musician Jason Webley, a friend and musical foil of Neil's wife Amanda Palmer.
Gaiman wanted a Cyber-army that could do uncanny things, rather than just making a slow and inexorable advance: "There was a scene where I had a hundred Cybermen coming up out of the sea on somewhere like Brighton Beach, which is all pebbles, and then moving completely silently over the pebbles. One human is running away from them and you can hear the crunchy-crunchy-crunchy-crunchy of the pebbles, but they're completely silent, which I really liked, the idea that you can't hear them coming at all."
Mr. Clever says, of the Doctor's psyche, that he has "had some cowboys in here." It's a phrase used by the Tenth Doctor to describe the dilapidated ship SS Madame de Pompadour in "The Girl in the Fireplace" and by the Eleventh Doctor to young Amelia Pond when presented with the crack in her wall in "The Eleventh Hour," and it'll be familiar to anyone asking a tradesperson to come and give a quote for a repair. The inference is that the problem is not a fault or breakage, but previous attempts to fix a problem, which have been ineptly handled.
There are some familiar waxworks in Nehemiam Webley's collection including a Gastropod ("The Twin Dilemma"), an Ultramancer, a Lugal-Irra-Kush and a Pan-Babylonian ("The Rings of Akhaten"), a Blowfish (from the Torchwood story "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang") an Uvodni and a Shansheeth (from the Sarah Jane Adventures stories "Warriors of Kudlak" and "Death of the Doctor," respectively) and one of the ventriloquist's dummies seen in "The God Complex."
The idea of the chess-playing Cyberman as a carnival attraction was based on the 18th century attraction the Turk. It was made by Wolfgang von Kempelen in 1770, and gave the illusion that an automaton was a chess grand master:

[Verse 1]
I pull a string on the lamp and shit darkens
I'm living in an elegant Moroccan apartment
Proletarian chicks sparking
Convo weak and I don't really care for her jargon
Balcony is windy, looking at the stars and
Alky on the Henny, woozy in the head, wobbling
Gucci pillow on the bed, while she giving nogging
Listening and tripping off the Maxwell album
Thinking I should leave to a European island
Bristol and Spain, bring a book about Stalin
Dinner serenaded with a violin
But shorty not qualified to be took to that kind of outing
Gotta be a fly bitch to hang around that fly shit
Fine dining Olive Garden
Nah bitch, Nas is In the real deal
Food spots on the constant
Pick the right wine, a Chianti to wash it
Lifestyle encompasses top-notch watches
Rolexes, synonymous shit I'm copping
Ask her has she been around duffle bags
Full of that fuck you cash
Get off the jet with me in heels, I'll cup your ass
Looking in my eyes saying "Nas, you're one lucky bastard"
Grip your clutch, you'll get finger fucked in the passenger
I hit the dutch, blow smoke out, music and laughter
See us in the coupe flying past ya
[Verse 2]
Esco, dress code, it changes
Harrods in England
Back to the star spangled labels in my closet hanging
Counting wonder in the Tundra
Get humbled or disgruntled when I come through, confront ya
Let nothing slide, sly remarks, you must wanna die
But you fronting, why? When we all know you pumpkin pie
When we in the bus we fly better shit than Emirates
To Dubai, to the Chi, I'm a crucial conflict
Heaven sent, cause a storm, typhoon flood you out
You are what a thug about, I'm a fucking juggernaut
Never sleep, never tire, keep a freak I tie up
Who don't speak, she quiet
So I can think, conspire
On my feet's a (?), and sometimes sneakers
Wear ties at the Setai Miami
Time-pieces are from Zurich
It's like I'm allergic, to Nonoxynol 9
Give it to you raw so you can feel it

What you want is a Chinampa garden - A method originally used by the Aztecs and still in use in Mexico today. They grow their crops on tethered rafts and platforms over a lake. There's an Instructable for a smaller version HERE.
For a slightly larger version you could make a sealed framework of 2" diameter drainage pipe with a 'floor' of bamboo tied across. The sealed pipe and air-cells in the bamboo should give enough buoyancy for a fair weight of soil and vegetables.
Any ideas on how to build a floating vegetable garden for the cottage? Answered
I'd really like to grow veggies at the cottage, but our wee little island is covered with trees and hence, too shady. I don't want to clear any trees so I was thinking a floating vegetable garden would be great! Here are some of my ideas:
-some sort of floating dock-like structure holding/attached to garden beds
-some kind of earth-box style planters
-some sort of string/osmosis type system that could suck water out of the lake to keep the soil moist (okay, I know this is really pushing it. Maybe a pump would be more realistic).
-NOT hydroponics: I'd like to grow veggies in regular soil, just out floating on the water instead of on the land!
Some inspiration:
Like the pic in the link above, but something a wee bit tidier and smaller?
Any ideas how to do this on the cheap? All notions welcome!
Wow, those are some pretty cool looking gardens. This is definitely an option....more homegrown and less "constructed" than I'd thought but very cool. I'm surprised you can climb right on top of these and they are strong enough to support your weight while gardening??
Thanks for the links -- now I need to get reading...
Hi, Sally, did you ever find any other options? I am also interested in building something like this but cannot find many resources online.
Thanks, Josh
Hi! This thread is old but oddly you're the second person in the last few weeks who's asked this.
I wish I had a solution to share - I still haven't come up with an idea I really like yet or gotten around to doing it. Still want to - but little kids and a shortage of time have slowed this down. I'll let you know if I end up making any progress!
I did wonder if using old pallets to make this might be a quick shortcut - like this, but not vertical, with some sort of floats on the bottom and wicking strips hanging off each row of the pallet?
You many want to check into Square Foot Gardening - http://www.squarefootgardening.org and/or the book All-New Square Foot Gardening. It seems to me that they would work great for a floating garden.
There is a forum on the website where you could ask if anyone has ever done that. Square Foot Gardening is used around the world and some have used it for rooftop gardens.
Andy hit it on the head.
Although using modern building and flotation, I think you could them one better
One thing I'd point out is that you should be just a little careful about the method.
Not to sound alarmist, but it might be worth sending a water sample to the county extension or equivalent, just to make sure that you're pond/lake doesn't contain high levels of anything harmful that might get taken up by the plant's root systems, since for vegetables that often means that those same contaminants can be ingested and digested by humans.
And that caution isn't just for areas that have seen a reasonable amount of human traffic over the years (never forget that the big, fat, exit-only pipe that goes out through the basement goes somewhere...), but also, and perhaps more importantly, for areas we wouldn't assume are "contaminated by humans".
Fact is, in addition to the banally obvious human source of taint, there are both naturally occurring biological and chemical threats that have nothing to do with human refuse disposal, be they as simple as pools in which animals have routinely defecated or even died, or high levels of heavy metals or other chemical toxins that leach from the underlaying substrate.
But both mean that a check is a good idea. It's inexpensive, accurate, and sensible if you intend to reap what you sow. Even if you live on a farm with your own lake or are part of a lakeshore community. You didn't own it forever, and who knows what "Bob" pours down his storm drain when no-one's looking, or...that your lovely clay lined lake is in fact a naturally occurring toxic sink.
The rest is just kudos. It's a great idea.
EXCELLENT points, thank you!
We have a lake association that regularly checks the water at various points across the lake and posts results, and so far our little lake has been healthy and free of dangerous contaminants. That said they encourage us all to chase geese off the lake as the Canada Geese tend to be the major source of eColi bacteria.
We're pretty tuned in to these issues as the cottage is on an island so we have to deal with all of our own waste. We have 2 compost toilets which require regular maintenance but overall are fantastic. Our grey water system is well, probably not as great as it should be but we're super careful about what goes down the drain.
Even though the lake association runs testing, your idea to do our own tests is a good one. I know the township will test your water for free so hey, why not! I'll definitely do this when we get back to the cottage this spring.

Quantitative Determination of Circulating Antigens in Human Schistosomiasis Mansoni using an Indirect Hemagglutination Assay
In serum and urine specimens collected from a group of Schistosoma mansoni infected individuals from Makundju, Zaire, the schistosome circulating anodic antigen (CAA) and the circulating cathodic antigen (CCA) were quantitatively determined using an indirect hemagglutination reaction with sheep erythrocytes sensitized with mouse IgM monoclonal antibodies directed against these circulating antigens. Levels of CAA in serum (up to 5 ng/ml) and CCA in serum and urine (up to 50 ng/ml) were strongly correlated with egg excretion and with each other. No correlation was found between egg excretion and antibody levels against the circulating antigens. Antigen was detectable only in patients excreting > 500 eggs per gram of feces.

Richard and Mélanie spent 2 days in Leipzig in mid-September. The aim of the visit was to discuss sampling of archaeological sites in Saxony with Harald Stäuble and colleagues from the Archaeological Heritage Service in Dresden and Leipzig (Saskia Kretschmer, Isabel Hohle, Germo Schmalfuß, Matthias Conrad and Christiane Krahn). Richard gave a talk on the NeoMilk project and an introduction to lipid residue analyses. We were lucky enough to be able to sample hundreds of potsherds which will surely tell us a lot about changes in subsistence practices through time in the region.
The highlight of the stay was clearly the visit of the Droßdorf wooden well. This 7,000-yr-old LBK well was discovered in 2014 in a lignite mine in the area of Peres in the south of Leipzig, during excavations carried out by the Archaeological Heritage Service. It was decided to move the well in order to facilitate the excavations so a 30 tonne-block (!) was transported indoor to a hall nearby. It is possible to see the excavations happening in real time as the hall is open to the general public. A really nice exhibition was also put up next to the well to inform the public about the Neolithic context and other wooden wells within the country and Europe. Spectacular finds have already been discovered at other wells (e.g. Eythra or Altscherbitz) so let's wait and see what Droßdorf has to offer!
More information on the well excavated at Droßdorf can be found here.
Thank you to all of you for welcoming us in Leipzig – we had a great time (and a great German lunch!).

Prince Harry has told children he "hates" Twitter because he regards messages and pictures posted on the social networking site as an invasion of his privacy.
Ironically, the Prince made the comments at a school where children are being trained as "digital champions" for the forthcoming Invictus Games, which Harry has spend the past year organising.
The children were being taught how to use Twitter and Facebook to promote the Games, and one of them asked Prince Harry if he would be Tweeting during the event in September.
He said: "I would love to get involved and go on social media and if it was for causes like this I really would.
"The issue for myself and my family, put quite simply, is that it's very hard for me to tweet about the Invictus Games and tweet about something that means a lot to me, whereas I at the same time really quite hate Twitter by the invasion of privacy.
"I think you all understand what I'm talking about."
He also told the children: "I'm not on social media but I used to be."
The Prince is known to be irritated by the fact that he cannot go out in public without people tweeting pictures of him and his location, something which put particular strain on his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas.
His worst indiscretions of recent years, such as the pictures of him partying naked in a Las Vegas hotel room, did not appear first on Twitter, instead being sold to media organisations, though Twitter helped to spread the word about them.
The Prince made the comments at the Bethnal Green Academy in London, where 60 children from six London schools were being taught by staff from Facebook how to use social networking to promote the Invictus Games, which run from September 10 to 14 at the Olympic Park in east London.
The Games will be a Paralympics-style event for wounded servicemen.
Prince Harry said: "For me this is an opportunity for the British public to say thank you to these people from across the world for their service...
"You only hear about the guys who die, you never hear about the injuries.
"So to give this opportunity to all these guys who have been injured and managed to survive thanks to the amazing medical care we have nowadays, I think that's a really powerful message to send to everybody.
"Some of them shouldn't be alive but they are."
He told the students how he was inspired by the US Warrior Games during a visit to Colorado in 2012 to make the concept global.
Since then he has mobilised the Ministry of Defence, Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, and the London 2012 Olympics organisers to throw their weight behind the event for 600 competitors from 14 countries.
The Prince said that once the Commonwealth Games are over he will be aiming to catapult Invictus into people's minds and urged the young people to get tickets and come along.
During the relaxed visit Harry sat in on three workshops at the school, at one point even taking over and asking the young people questions about why they like social media.
He posed for photographs with several of the students and also encouraged them to get out of the classroom and take pictures and tweet from Olympic locations.
In May the Prince sent his first ever tweet at an event to publicise the Games.

|R v C (2008) EWCA Crim 1155
Capacity to consent to sexual activity
If the complainant consented to sexual activity against her inclination because she was frightened of the defendant, even if her fear was irrational and caused by her mental disorder, it did not follow that she lacked the capacity to choose whether to agree to sexual activity. [Overturned on appeal.]
|R v Cleland (2020) EWCA Crim 906
Restricted hospital order instead of life sentence
Life sentence with 7-year minimum term quashed and substituted with s37/41 restricted hospital order.
|R v Edwards (2018) EWCA Crim 595
Sentencing guidance, including s37 and s45A
These four cases were listed before the court to consider issues arising from the sentencing of mentally ill offenders to indeterminate terms of imprisonment. (1) Comparison of release regimes under s37/41 and s45A. (2) Rules governing applications to this court to advance new grounds or fresh evidence. (3) General principles: "Finally, to assist those representing and sentencing offenders with mental health problems that may justify a hospital order, a finding of dangerousness and/or a s.45A order, we summarise the following principles we have extracted from the statutory framework and the case law. (i) The first step is to consider whether a hospital order may be appropriate. (ii) If so, the judge should then consider all his sentencing options including a s.45A order. (iii) In deciding on the most suitable disposal the judge should remind him or herself of the importance of the penal element in a sentence. (iv) To decide whether a penal element to the sentence is necessary the judge should assess (as best he or she can) the offender's culpability and the harm caused by the offence. The fact that an offender would not have committed the offence but for their mental illness does not necessarily relieve them of all responsibility for their actions. (v) A failure to take prescribed medication is not necessarily a culpable omission; it may be attributable in whole or in part to the offender's mental illness. (vi) If the judge decides to impose a hospital order under s.37/41, he or she must explain why a penal element is not appropriate. (vii) The regimes on release of an offender on licence from a s.45A order and for an offender subject to s.37/41 orders are different but the latter do not necessarily offer a greater protection to the public, as may have been assumed in Ahmed and/or or by the parties in the cases before us. Each case turns on its own facts. (viii) If an offender wishes to call fresh psychiatric evidence in his appeal against sentence to support a challenge to a hospital order, a finding of dangerousness or a s45A order he or she should lodge a s.23 application. If the evidence is the same as was called before the sentencing judge the court is unlikely to receive it. (ix) Grounds of appeal should identify with care each of the grounds the offender wishes to advance. If an applicant or appellant wishes to add grounds not considered by the single judge an application to vary should be made." (4) The court considered the individual appeals/application, noting that it is appellate not a review court and that the question is whether the sentence imposed was manifestly excessive or wrong in principle.
|R v LV; R (LV) v SSJ (2015) EWCA Crim 45, (2015) EWCA Civ 56
Sentencing guidance; MHT/PB delay
"There are before the court: (1) Sitting as the Court of Appeal Criminal Division six cases where indeterminate sentences (either imprisonment for public protection (IPP) or a life sentence) had been passed between 1997 and 2008. Each specified a minimum term. In each case there was psychiatric evidence before the court with a view to a judge considering making a hospital order under MHA 1983 s37 as amended with a restriction under s41 of the same Act. The sentencing judge did not make such an order, but each was subsequently transferred to hospital under a transfer direction made by the Secretary of State under s47. (2) Sitting as the Court of Appeal Civil Division, a civil appeal in relation to a judicial review brought by the first of the appellants in the criminal appeals of the actions of the Secretary of State for Justice and the Parole Board relating to delay in the determination of her application for release from custody." In relation to the criminal aspect: in cases where medical evidence suggests mental disorder, the offending is partly or wholly attributable to that disorder, treatment is available and a hospital order may be appropriate, the court should consider (and, if appropriate, make) a s45A order before considering making a hospital order.
|R v Stredwick (2020) EWCA Crim 650
Appeal against IPP
"In this appeal the appellant invites the court to quash the sentence of imprisonment for public protection imposed in 2008 and make an order pursuant to section 37 of the Mental Health Act 1983 ("the 1983 Act") for his admission or continued detention at Ty Gwyn Hall Hospital, Abergavenny. The appellant also invites the court to make an accompanying Restriction Order without limit of time under section 41 of the 1983 Act. The Crown does not oppose this appeal, nor the orders sought."
|R v Taj (2018) EWCA Crim 1743
(1) Appeal against conviction: "The defence sought to rely on self-defence as codified in s76 Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 noting, in particular, s76(4)(b) which makes it clear that the defence is available even if the defendant is mistaken as to the circumstances as he genuinely believed them to be whether or not the mistake was a reasonable one for him to have made. Although s76(5) provides that a defendant is not entitled to rely upon any mistaken belief attributable to intoxication that was voluntarily induced, it was argued that as there was no suggestion that Taj had alcohol or drugs present in his system at the time, he was not 'intoxicated' and so was not deprived of the defence. It was also submitted that R v McGee, R v Harris, R v Coley [2013] EWCA Crim 223 supported the proposition that to be in a state of 'voluntarily intoxication' there had to be alcohol or drugs active in the system at the time of the offence. ... In our view, the words "attributable to intoxication" in s. 76(5) are broad enough to encompass both (a) a mistaken state of mind as a result of being drunk or intoxicated at the time and (b) a mistaken state of mind immediately and proximately consequent upon earlier drink or drug-taking, so that even though the person concerned is not drunk or intoxicated at the time, the short-term effects can be shown to have triggered subsequent episodes of e.g. paranoia. This is consistent with common law principles. We repeat that this conclusion does not extend to long term mental illness precipitated (perhaps over a considerable period) by alcohol or drug misuse. In the circumstances, we agree with Judge Dodgson, that the phrase "attributable to intoxication" is not confined to cases in which alcohol or drugs are still present in a defendant's system. It is unnecessary for us to consider whether this analysis affects the decision in Harris: it is sufficient to underline that the potential significance of voluntary intoxication in the two cases differs." The appeal against conviction was dismissed. (2) The application for leave to appeal against sentence was refused.
|R v Thompson (2018) EWCA Crim 639
Guidance on sentencing on appeal
"These four otherwise unconnected appeals have been listed together as each potentially raises an issue in relation to the effect of s11(3) of the Criminal Appeal Act 1968 which requires this court, on an appeal against sentence, to exercise its powers such that 'taking the case as a whole, the appellant is not more severely dealt with on appeal than he was dealt with by the court below'. Articulating the issue with reference to the specific sentences that may give rise to the issue, it is about the extent to which this court can substitute what is a standard determinate sentence with (i) a special custodial sentence for offenders of particular concern under s236A of the Criminal Justice Act 2003; (ii) an extended sentence under s226A or B of the 2003 Act; or (iii) a hospital order with restriction or hybrid order under s37 and 41 or 45A of the Mental Health Act 1983."

I got a Nintendo Wii… Wheeeee!!! (and, might I add, a little Yippee!)
Those of you who are in my contacts list in Facebook will know this already (so what are you waiting for? Quickly add me in Facebook and join my Mob Wars mob!)
My sister actually got the Wii from Melbourne, and my dad brought it back when he came back from visiting her last week.
In case you don't know what a Nintendo Wii is, it's the latest Nintendo console with a very unique control system. The Wii remote can be used to point at your TV screen, and it can detect motion and acceleration.
I've been playing the Wii Sports that came bundled with the console, and so far I quite enjoy the Boxing game. I actually have to do boxing motions with my fists and my on-screen Mii will do the same! It's really really fun!
I also like playing Tennis, where I can practice my forehand and backhand swings. It can even detect top-spin motion! Every time I play Tennis I try to imitate
Ivanovic Federer.
Poey Chin isn't very happy when I spend time playing with the Nintendo instead of spending time with baby, so during my 'down time' I take photos of baby Rachel together with the Nintendo Wii.
Baby watches me play and she's very amused. She looks at me with round eyes and has a bemused smile. Sometimes she laughs at me when I get particularly active doing my Nintendo Wii moves.
I have to tell you, after playing for half an hour it really feels like a mini-workout. My arms get tired and I'm sweaty all over. I even need to take a break for water!
I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I've got some sort of sprain in my right shoulder after trying to hit home runs in the baseball game.
My next target is to try and find a shop to modify my Wii so I can play
pirated backup disk games.
I am also looking for a good deal on the Wii Fit balance board.
Anyone know of any good shops in PJ area?

Delivering Hard Truths
By: Rick Boxx
May 14, 2014
In a popular Geico commercial about Abe Lincoln's honesty, there's a video of Mary Todd Lincoln supposedly asking Abe if she looks fat in the dress she's wearing. Abe is tormenting over his answer, until he indicates that maybe it does make her look fat, "just a little," as she storms out of the room.
In the workplace, there are times when we're asked questions that a truthful response may result in hurt feelings. It can put us in an uncomfortable position.
Proverbs 15:2 says, "The tongue of the wise makes knowledge acceptable, But the mouth of fools spouts folly."
When we need to deliver difficult truths, ask clarifying questions, pray for God's help making knowledge acceptable, then offer up your response carefully, with love. Truth without kindness is not easily accepted.

If you just start to run, the No 1 piece of advice professional trainers would give you would be –Don't forget to breathe. It is not necessary to have require an expensive trainer or special equipment when you intend to learn how to control your breathing while running. With some techniques, it would be much helpful to your breath and your running performance during your next run.
1. It is strongly suggested that you should breathe in and out through your mouth instead of the nose, because, it might be the most effective way for you to take in more air as you run. By doing so, it could encourage your facial muscles to relax so as to generate a more relaxed composure.
2. When you run, try to have your jaw dropped open slightly so that your lips would be are parted, then it would create a "dead fish" expression.
3. Remember to take short and shallow breaths, because they would not be forced, but comfortable. Although occasionally you could take deep breath, it should not be the norm for maintaining breath control during running.
4. When you breath, you should do it from your belly or diaphragm rather than from your chest. You could lie on your back to watch your stomach when you take breath. As for breathing correctly, it should rise and fall with each breath, at the same time your chest would keep somehow motionless. So you had better maintain such feeling with you as you run.
5. It is better to have belly breathing in both your control of breath and your abdominal muscles. When you take intended belly breathing, your muscles will be engaged in an isometric contraction which, over time, could lead to a flatter, more toned mid-section.
6. By counting your steps as you run, you could know better about your natural breathing pattern. Generally speaking, some runners might breathe in for two steps and out for two steps while others may take three steps before the next breath. No matter what your pattern is, you had better keep it regular and use your steps to monitor your breathing rate.
7. You could also use your ears to control your breathing. When you run, ff you can hear yourself breathing heavily, even if at an easy or moderate pace, it means that you are running too quickly for your condition. So you should practice slowing down your breathing while running out a slower pace, then go for faster strides.

We're helping organizations of all sizes create a healthier environment–inside and out.
Since 2005, the Building Wellness Institute has been helping building owners, facilities managers and service providers adopt new and more efficient approaches to cleaning that protect the environment and the health of building occupants.
The Problem: Despite the growing popularity of "being green," few people realize that a significant public health issue exists in the way that we clean and maintain our nation's schools, office buildings, colleges and universities. Cleaning chemicals, processes and equipment can cause poor indoor air quality and contribute to a wide range or respiratory and health problems.
The Proof: A landmark study by Dr. Leonard Krilov in association with Cornell Medical College found that use of high-performance green cleaning processes in a child day care facility resulted in 24 percent fewer illnesses and 34 percent fewer doctors visits. For a copy of this and other relevant studies, visit our research section.
The Solution: The Building Wellness Institute has helped dozens of organizations protect health and the environment through a comprehensive range of training, consulting and support services. To learn how we can help your organization, click on one of the links below:

Nike Kyrie 4 is Kyrie Irving's fourth signature basketball shoe. The Kyrie 4 features a mix of Zoom Air cushioning, engineered mesh, and more. It was designed by Ben Nethongkome, with colorway inspirations ranging from Irving's days skateboarding to his love for cereal. Traction on the Kyrie 4 is comprised of multi-directional herringbone a favorite of mine. I love when traction patterns are aggressive yet traditional; this one mixes a little bit of the old with a little bit of the new. In addition we have hits of Aqua on the tongue which also covers part of the midsole and outsole.

First published on July 21, 2017 Image ContentThe first autonomous car can be dated back to the 1980s, in a project funded by the United States' Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Called the NavLab, it resembled a postal delivery truck, and bore little similarity to Google's driverless car (without a safety driver), which was first demonstrated on the roads in Arizona in 2017. Since then, the technology has continued to evolve and sparked all manner of predictions about how autonomous cars will transform the way we live and work. Here are some of the more intriguing predictions.90% reduction in traffic deathsThe United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) predicts that the rise of autonomous cars will see the number of traffic deaths fall drastically. In 2017 it reported 37,133 deaths as a result of vehicle crashes (94% of which are down to human error), so a 90% reduction would save 30,000 lives in a single year.60% drop in harmful emissions Fewer accidents means less traffic congestion, which means a drop in emissions. But this is not just due to a reduction in accidents. Ohio University's Future of Driving report states that harmful emissions will be reduced by 60% after the advent of autonomous vehicles.Eliminate stop-and-go waves by 100%Autonomous cars could eliminate the waves of traffic created by stop-and-go behavior (where humans, rather than road accidents, create changes in speeds) according to research the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This in turn will not only save people time, but decrease the time their cars are on the roads and therefore reduce emissions. 10% improvement in fuel economy Rand's Autonomous Vehicle Technology guide states that autonomous cars will provide a reduction in fuel economy by between 4% and 10%. This is supported by the Ohio University study, which puts a figure of 3.1 billion gallons of fuel as the amount wasted by US drivers each year. 500% increase in lane capacity The same Rand report also predicts that lane capacity could increase by a staggering 500%. The State Smart Transportation Initiative only puts this figure at 100% (still an impressive increase), which it says in turn could result in a 20% increase in traffic speeds. 40% reduction in travel time UK citizens' travel time could be reduced by 40%, according to KPMG's Connected and Autonomous Vehicles – The UK Economic Opportunity. This means a saving of £20bn in increased productivity and better use of time for people who would otherwise have been traveling in vehicles. Meanwhile, in the US, autonomous cars are expected to save workers 80 billion hours lost to commuting, which will save the economy US$1.3tn. Consumer savings of £5bnIn the UK, according to KPMG, the savings to be had on reduced insurance costs, reduced running costs and parking means the UK consumer market would save £5bn a year.And there's more. Autonomous cars are also expected to solve the 'last mile problem' (whereby people struggle to travel the final mile between their home and the public transport drop off point) by supplementing public transport , utilizing the reduction in traffic and the autonomous car's ability to find a parking space and park all by itself. Moreover, there is a predicted drop in taxi wait time of 88% when autonomous taxis are used, 15% less space needed for parking and enhanced mobility for seniors in an aging population.

The launch of a comics anthology that pitches itself as a British alternative to Dave Eggers' McSweeney's was one of the highlights of Sunday's Comica Comiket, a fair for independently published comics that took place at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts on Sunday. Five hundred copies of the biannual Solipsistic Pop, which includes art, short graphic stories, mini-comics stuck to the inside front and back covers, and a 16-page pull-out collection of "adventure stories", went on sale for the first time as part of the annual festival, which was bigger and more crowded than ever before.
"British alternative comics are thriving," explained Solipsistic Pop editor Tom Humberstone from behind a pretty display of issue #1, "but there's not really a decent publishing infrastructure in place to support them. Solipsistic Pop is an attempt to create that."
Solipsistic Pop wasn't the only organisation represented that's helping to champion new under-the-radar graphic work. Alex Spiro, co-founder of small press Nobrow was sitting behind a table covered with back issues of the biannual eponymous magazine, an anthology of illustrations, as well as comics Nobrow puts out in small runs. The most eye-catching of these was Tom Rowe's Said the Computer to the Specialist, with a black-on-black cover you could only make out when it caught the light, and pages of illustrations of old 60s supercomputers and analogue recording equipment inside.
Last Hours, formerly a music magazine and now a small press itself, has been a mainstay of London's self-publishing scene for years, and creator Edd was dispensing tips on where to find vegan food as he manned the table opposite Nobrow's. Back copies of the mag (which covers punk and politics) sat next to two brand new anthologies: an anthology of Isy Morgenmuffel's brilliant autobiographical comic zine Morgenmuffel, called Diary of a Miscreant, which details Isy's adventures at protests, projects and parties; and an anthology of 17 graphic stories looking at modern policing and violence, called Excessive Force.
On the slightly more hi-fi side of things, Marc Ellerby, whose acerbic Love The Way You Love was published by the American Oni Press, and Jamie McKelvie, whose indie high-school fantasy series Suburban Glamour is put out by Image Comics and has just (top secret!) been optioned for a movie, were sharing a table and mocking each other for getting excited about signing autographs. Jamie was also hawking copies of Phonogram, the series about pop music and magic he co-created with Kieron Gillen, and wearing a Scott Pilgrim t-shirt. For a free comics hit, check out Marc Ellerby's web comic Ellerbisms, a funny, fresh diary series that's (usually) updated twice a week.
Of course, the whole point of indie publishing is that you don't have to sit around waiting for someone else to vet and put out your work, and there were more self-made comics around than there's room here to sing the praises of. A shout's got to go out to Dave "Lando" Lander's brilliant, dark, silent (and self-published) comic Untranslated, which involves bleak, delicately drawn warscapes and dialogue in an alien language. In Dave's words: "It's up to the viewer to decode what is happening rather then to be spoon-fed a moralistic story. This relates to the way the news has reported conflicts in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, where we have to rely on translation and editing by new organisations. It often provides us with an oversimplified view of conflicts, rather then helping us to find a more balanced independent viewpoint."
Another silent comic that's a huge success is Eekeemoo, written and drawn by Will Morris-Julien and coloured by his wife Liz, which started life as a web series about a ninja eskimo, gained around 350,000 readers in places like Japan, the Philippines and Poland, and has now become a paper-and-ink comic series too, put out by Butternut. On the web, it's drawn in long, vertical strips that you read by scrolling down, and it's full of bold, meditative white-on-black art.
There was a lot more ace work on display – Laura Oldfield Ford's "psychogeographical exploration of London" Savage Messaiah, and Ushio's Japanofail deserve a mention - but you should take a look at this list of everyone who was at the Comiket and leave a comment if there's anything particularly awesome I haven't mentioned.
• This article was amended on Thursday 12 November 2009. The editor of
Solipsistic Pop is Tom Humberstone, not Huddlesworth. This has been corected.

Defending champions Sarsfields pull away late to win
Sarsfields and Shanahoe served up a real championship encounter, tough, competitive and close, when the sides eventually met in this refixed Laois Ladies Senior Football Round 1 game in Shanahoe on Wednesday.
Sarsfields 1-16
Shanahoe 0-11
The eight point difference indicates a comfortable win for the title holders but in reality it was only in the last ten minutes that Sarsfields pulled away.
The win puts Sarsfields on top of the table with six points after two games followed by St Brigids on three and Park-Ratheniska and Shanahoe still to get off the ground.
The sides were level on three occasions in a nervous opening half, during which both sets of forwards were guilty of spurning some gilt edged chances, and it finished with Sarsfields ahead 1-5 to 0-7 at the break. Sarsfields scores came from Meaghan Dunne, Tracey Lawlor, Joyce Dunne and Ciara Burke while Mary Kirwan and Eimear Fitzpatrick replied for Shanahoe.
Exchanges of points between Mary Kirwan and Laura Dunne for the hosts and Clare Conlon and Tracey Lawlor for Sarsfields left the sides still deadlocked ten minutes into the second half. Then Sarsfields found a second gear and established control around the middle third of the field. The attack benefitted accordingly, with points from Rachel Williams, Conlon and Lawlor, and the visitors pulled away to finish very strongly and put clear daylight between the teams before the end.
Both teams were short a few established player with Shanahoe missing Noirin Kirwan and Sinead Lanham while Sarsfields had to contend with the absence of Mags McEvoy, Grace Weston and Lauramarie Maher.
Sarsfields: Clodagh Dunne, Siobhan Fitzpatrick, Jenny McEvoy, Amy Grehan, Sinead Walsh, Emma McEvoy, Aisling Dunphy, Tracey Lawlor, Alison McEvoy, Hazel O'Connor, Joyce Dunne, Louise Bergin, Ciara Burke, Ciara O'Loughlin, Meaghan Dunne. Subs: Clare Conlon, Rachel Williams, Becky Dowling, Chloe Dunne, Lisa O'Reilly, Amy Loughman.
Shanahoe: Eimear Barry; Hannah Bailey, Deirdre Moore, Linda Reilly; Lisa Dunne, Martha Kirwan, Áine Malone; Maggie Fitzpatrick, Marion O'Grady; Sharon Moylan, Mary Kirwan (0-6, 4F), Edel Siney; Eimear Fitzpatrick (0-2), Denise Quigley, Aoife Bergin. Subs: Laura Dunne (0-3) for Aoife Bergin, Claire Kirwan for Deirdre Moore.

After saying Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl served his country with "honor and distinction" on ABC's This Week Sunday, the always clarifying White House is trying to walk back National Security Advisor Susan Rice's comments. As a reminder:
And the walk-back from GretaWire:
An administration official now tells Fox that Rice meant that we should not forget that Bergdahl was serving his country in general"
"She was referring to the fact that he was over there as a U.S. soldier, volunteered for service, and remember has just endured five years of brutal captivity; she wasn't necessarily trying to characterize the circumstances of his capture which she said we'd have to learn more about; and let's not get ahead of the facts that we don't know yet, we haven't heard his side of the story yet."
This "clarification" still makes no sense. Over to you, Bill O'Reilly.
Is Susan Rice a moron?

This morning has brought us the glorious gift of Sony's The Dark Tower trailer, from which we've pulled a selection of almost 50 images to show off the goods. Now I get into the really fun part of breaking this whole thing down. That means talking about all aspects of Idris Elba's Roland Deschain, a.k.a. the Gunslinger, from his look, to his gunslinging skills, to his badass stare. It also means taking apart the movie's version of the Man in Black, as brought to life by Matthew McConaughey. And it includes a discussion of Tom Taylor's young and fearless Jake Chambers, who acts to ground the audience in Stephen King's wild, other-worldly story.
Speaking of other worlds, this trailer breakdown will also dive into Mid-World, the inhabitants that live there, and the history that has unfolded in the world that has moved on, so some story spoilers will undoubtedly be touched upon. But for superfans of King's books, this should be a fun ride. And I'm sure to miss something here or there, so feel free to share your own discoveries in the comments below!
Also starring Katheryn Winnick, José Zúñiga, and Dennis Haysbert, The Dark Tower opens August 4th.
Here's the plot synopsis for The Dark Tower:
Jake Chambers (Tom Taylor) is a young 11-year-old adventure seeker who discovers clues about another dimension called Mid-World. Upon following the mystery, he is spirited away to Mid-World where he encounters the lone frontiersman knight Roland Deschain (Idris Elba), who is on a quest to reach the 'Dark Tower' that resides in End-World and reach the nexus point between time and space that he hopes will save Mid-World from extinction. But with various monsters and a vicious sorcerer named Walter Padick (Matthew McConaughey) hot on their trail, the unlikely duo find that their quest may be difficult to complete.
Let's get into it!

Research Focus Areas
Our department faculty are engaged in biomedical research that embraces the concept of One Health medicine to better understand diseases that afflict humans and animals, and to develop vaccines and innovative cures.
Infectious Diseases and Immunity
Our department boasts a long tradition of excellence and extramural funding in the fields of virology, bacteriology, parasitology, and immunology. Research in this area examines basic mechanisms of infectious and immune mediated diseases and seeks to develop novel vaccines and therapeutic strategies.
Chronic Inflammatory & Regulatory Disorders
People and animals are living longer due to better hygiene, improved vaccines and life-saving drugs. However, we are living longer but sicker. Over the years, there has been an increased incidence of chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, cardiovascular inflammation, diabetes, re-emerging infectious disorders, and regulatory disorders such as cancer and metabolic diseases. To better position ourselves to combat these diseases, we initiated a new research focus area: "Chronic Inflammatory and Regulatory Disorders."
Regenerative Medicine
Since it is imperative to find innovative therapies to treat inflammatory and regulatory diseases, an additional core research focus area in our department is "Regenerative Medicine."
Other Research Areas
Our departmental faculty are also engaged in research involving environmental medical toxicology, medical informatics, and aquatic medicine. Since our department is within a college of veterinary medicine, our faculty are well prepared to understand comparative physiology and pathology. Our access to board-certified specialists in a broad range of medical disciplines bolsters our abilities in translational and One Health medicine.
Collaboration with faculty outside the department and college
Our departmental faculty collaborate with faculty from several of Virginia Tech's colleges (College of Sciences, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, College of Engineering, VT School of Medicine, and the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine), VT Institutes (VTCRI, Institute of Critical Technology Applied Sciences or ICTAS, Fralin Life Sciences Institute), and international colleges in India (Tamil Nadu University Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences or TANUVAS) and Chile (Universidad Austral de Chile).
