We think of our homes as our refuge, our places of fun, relaxation and safety after long days at work or school.
But sometimes something dangerous can lurk at home that goes unseen and undetected – a gas that can cause serious illness or even death.
When someone inhales carbon monoxide – often called the “silent killer” -- the carbon monoxide displaces the oxygen in the victim’s blood, according to the Geneva Fire Department website. Because no one can smell, see or taste it, people have no idea they are being poisoned until it is too late.
Every year, 20,000 to 30,000 people in the United States are sickened by accidental carbon monoxide poisoning and approximately 500 people die, many in their own home because carbon monoxide cannot be detected by humans without the help of a detector.
That’s why safety experts consider it so important that families be prepared by outfitting their home with alarms near every bedroom. In Illinois, state law requires that every “dwelling unit” be equipped with at least one approved carbon monoxide alarm within 15 feet of every room used for sleeping purposes.
With the right equipment and knowledge, residents can know they are doing all they can go keep their home safe and stop a potential horrific tragedy.
Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas produced by incomplete burning of any fuel and is a common by-product of vehicle exhaust, improperly vented fireplaces, grills, wood stoves and appliances that run on fuel-burning appliances such as gas furnaces, ovens, stove burners, and portable heaters.
So what can you do to make sure you are not a victim? Place a detector on every floor. Big box stores sell plug-in detectors that use an outlet with a battery back-up. There are also combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that you can install to cover both dangers.
Home appliances should always be checked to ensure that they are in good working order and properly ventilated by a qualified professional. All combustible appliances produce some level of carbon monoxide. However, if the appliances are in good condition, meant for indoor use, have adequate venting, and are maintained regularly, there are usually no safety issues.
What to do if your carbon monoxide detector starts beeping? First things first, go outside to fresh air. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, it is crucial that you leave the premises immediately, leaving windows and doors open if possible. Call 9-1-1 only once you are out of the vicinity as the gas could cause unconsciousness before you can call for help. The fire department will send personnel out to your home with equipment to test the levels and where in your home they are elevated.
The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may not be obvious, if even felt at all. Some people say that they thought they were coming down with the flu. However, if more than one person is experiencing the same thing or symptoms occur when you are in one part of the home but go away when you move elsewhere, this could be carbon monoxide poisoning.
Symptoms include: headache, dizziness, nausea, weakness, loss of muscle control, tightness in the chest, difficulty seeing, shortness of breath, sleepiness and skin redness.
This month, do a quick inventory of your carbon monoxide alarms and make sure they have fresh batteries and are placed in the appropriate places.

A break up with a girl is the inspiration behind ‘Don’t Be So Hard on Yourself’. In an interview with MTV News, Jess Glynne told the story behind it, saying: “When I was meeting my publisher, managers and label and everything was happening for me, I was going through a really hard time. I had my heart broken and I was in a dark place. It was even harder because my dreams were coming true and I had to put a smile on my face every day and power through. This is the message of the song: To not let sadness defeat you.” The song is meant to encourage people to take risks in life and to get back up when they fall. Even in the video, it shows Jess walking through a seemingly economically challenged neighborhood, while a back story of a father teaching his son how to play the drums and helping him follow his dreams.
It is Jess Glynne’s fifth number 1 song. The single topped the charts in Belgium, Scotland and the UK, while making it to the top 10 chart in Australia, Hungary and New Zealand. It never made it to the US Billboard Hot 100, but peaked at number 1 in Europe on the Euro Digital Songs. It was certified Gold in Italy and the UK, and Platinum in Australia. The song never made it to the UK Billboard Hot 100.
Jess Glynne was 26 years old when she released this song.

Hi! I'm Sophie from NY and I'm 14. I've always loved animals and science, ever since I can remember. I was so excited to review the book, Vet Set Go! In fact, when it came in the mail, I was at Veterinary Science sleep away camp! I enjoyed reading the book Vet Set Go! It was interesting to read a veterinarian's childhood experiences as I was also an owner of a senior age cat and now have a kitten. One idea from the book I was happy to read about were the multiple checklists for different scenarios. For example, there were guides for choosing veterinary camps and an outline on how to ask to shadow a vet and a sample note to send afterward as a thank you. Another idea I enjoyed was the case files of future veterinarians, hopefully like me! "Chapter 3: Become A Shadow" was my favorite chapter because I was able to recently get a shadowing opportunity with my local vet. This chapter helped guide me for the experience and gave me a glimpse of what I was expected to see before I go to the clinic. This chapter also provided definitions of certain vocabulary words such as cystocentesis and I was able to learn more about daily veterinary procedures through other real life shadow experiences. Chapter 2 sparked my interest in possibly seeking to attend a Veterinary Summer College program next summer to learn more about my favorite subject. Actually, this summer, I attended a 1-week sleep away camp focused on veterinary sciences through Centenary Summer Scholars in NJ. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend it as we got to learn about muscles, bones and body systems in animals such as horses, dogs, cows and pigs. We also participated in dissections of rats, sheep hearts and brains, frogs and pigs and took animal based field trips. We also attended daily lectures for 4 hours a day, (but no tests or homework!) and took notes on diseases, first aid and annual pet check ups. Our class had an amazing experience of learning to take a cat's heart rate from my teacher who brought her pet cat to the classroom. We also all had fun meeting other teens who also want to become veterinarians. It was a fantastic summer science experience!
Thank you so much for reading Vet Set Go and for sharing all that you have done to explore your dream. The Centenary Summer Scholars program sounds like it was great.

I\'ve installed my GigaStudio 160 before on my computer, never having troubles, but this time it won\'t read the GigaPiano CD when it\'s needed for registration.
When registration asks for Gigapiano (Disc 2) CD, and I\'ve inserted it, after clicking on the next button it says GigaPiano (Disc 2) was not found. I\'ve tried over and over with no results.
Has anyone dealt with this problem too? Does anyone know a solution?
I have been trying to get registered for a year now, same problem. The tech support at Tascam was very responsive by e-mail, but in the end, they said some systems just will not generate the registration files from disc 2. So I must re-install every 60 starts! I am hoping in Giga 3.0 this will be fixed. Do you happen to have a Compaq Athlon 1.2??? Really this is another bug they need to fix.
I had the problem forever, had to continually re-install after so many launches. I found a solution that has finally cured it: you need to go into the registry editor and find a key called \'userkey\'. You then insert your registration number here and it will not ask you to register when you launch Giga anymore.

btw - the key is in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER - Software - Nemesys-Gigastudio-User. If it\'s not there, just create a new called \"UserKey\" and set your registration number as the value.
How did you solve it????
I just ran into the same problem this week!
In my case it was my own fault: my CD-ROM wasn\'t connected good.

Whether it’s a hobby that we enjoy or a cause that we’re passionate about, we tend to invest time and money in those things that mean a lot to us.
So, if we want our marriage to be a rich relationship that strengthens and nourishes us and our spouse, we have to put the best of ourselves into it.
In his book What Did You Expect? Redeeming the Realities of Marriage, Paul David Tripp shares the following.
If I want to get a good return in my marriage, to have that prime, loving relationship with my husband, what do I need to invest in my marriage? Here are three ideas.
Thoughtfulness. This includes doing the little things that I know will make him happy, anticipating his needs, and even thinking of and praying for him throughout the day.
Gratitude. From working hard at his job to repairing things around the house to sharing parenting responsibilities, my husband does so much for our family. If I’m ever tempted to be irritated at something he does – or doesn’t – do, I need to mentally revisit all the ways he blesses us. It’s also good to express that thankfulness, either verbally, in a note, or just in the attitude I display toward him.
Grace. We are two sinners living together. I say things I don’t mean, I want my own way, and forget to do things I said I would do. (And that’s the short list!) I need grace. If I want that grace extended to me, how can I not extend that same grace to him? If he has a hard day or has an impatient moment or doesn’t meet my expectations, I must give him grace.
What are other ways we can invest in our marriage?
Your post is a great reminder of how I need to treasure my husband. Thanks for the reminder!
I love the idea that we invest in things that damage our relationships. I hadn't thought of that analogy before.
I need to step up being more intentional about these lately. THANK YOU!!!

I’ve got a question for y’all. Acuña started the season 0-8. So my question is, if he’s still struggling, do you think there’s any way he stays down in the minors on Friday? Or will they pull him up regardless. Let’s say he’s hitting. 197/250/380.
I can’t imagine anything delays his debut. I still expect him to start next Monday in Atlanta.
-The ‘optimist’ in me sees ‘our’ Braves going 3-3 this week.
-Freddie Freeman is ‘THE STRAW’ that stirs the Braves drink. ’NOT’ Dansby Swanson.
I think they are going to start coming back “down to earth”.
Very possible (coming down to earth). A second loss tonight would be tough.
The Braves have gotten off to a far better start than I could have imagined, but it’s only a start and if they end the upcoming Cubs series by being .500 overall, I call this a huge win for getting out of the starting blocks as well as they did. Is it fool’s gold or portend something grander as the season unfolds?
Folty: Certainly has the arsenal of pitches to do it but still inconsistent and with questionable focus or mental toughness.
Teheran: A runaway train that sometimes stays on the track, sometimes becomes a train wreck, so, no. Notice too, that his fastball has lost 2-3 mph which is not a good sign.
McCarthy/Sanchez: Perennial back of rotation guys who won’t scare any opposing team.
Realistically, it looks like and up and down season unless there’s a pitcher who steps out of the shadows and becomes that ace.

Last year, Warped Tour organizers caved under the massive weight of Internet postings from anxious fans and announced the tour's full itinerary in early February. But this year, things were different: They managed to hold off until the beginning of March.
On Thursday (March 2), Warped founder Kevin Lyman confirmed an itinerary obtained by MTV News, which lists dates and venues for 45 of the 49 cities the tour will hit this summer; it used to be 48 cities, but Lyman let it be known that Warped will now kick off on June 15 in Columbia, Maryland — and not on June 16 in Columbus, Ohio, as had previously been reported (see "Warped Tour Founder Vows To Press On Despite Being Punk'd").
"Yeah, we've added another city. Make sure people know about that," Lyman laughed. "We wanted to sort of roll this itinerary out a little bit at a time, but why not do it all now? I think people's enthusiasm about Warped speaks to just how amazing and strong our fanbase is."
The dates and cities for Warped 2006 — which includes Motion City Soundtrack, Thursday, Rise Against and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (see "Warped Tour Nabs Trailblazing Rocker Joan Jett For Trek") plus a host of others — had been announced last month, but with the addition of the venues, there's finally a proper itinerary for the tour.
Lyman (who's currently on the road with his other tour, Taste of Chaos), said that he's close to finalizing an on-sale date for Warped '06, and he'll be making that announcement in the coming weeks.

Organisations should prepare for the increased threat of targeted cyber-attacks in 2015 by reviewing their security polices in alignment with the government’s Cyber Essentials Scheme (CES). This is the advice from Peter Groucutt, managing director of Databarracks.
2014 saw a surge in cyber security threats such as the CryptoLocker ransomware and Keyloggers, and forced UK organisations to sit up and take note of the very real threat posed by cyber crime. But research from Databarracks, as part of its annual Data Health Check survey, has revealed that, from a sample of over 400 IT decision makers, only 29 per cent have reviewed their security polices in response to cyber threats over the past 12 months.
The findings from the survey support the views of industry professionals, which predicts that targeted cyber-attacks are set to go mainstream in 2015, due to the increasingly sophisticated methods of cyber-criminals, as well as the availability of tools and equipment.
“This year the threat posed by cyber-criminals has really made its presence felt. Attacks such as CryptoLocker weren’t just consigned to industry chatter – they were very much felt by organisations of all sizes and sectors, and documented heavily in mainstream media. According to this latest research, this is set to continue well into 2015.
“Worryingly, in response to the cyber threats in the last 12 months, over half of the respondents to our survey (58 per cent) either hadn’t made changes to their security policies, or they hadn’t reviewed them at all. The growing risk of a cyber-attack means we all need to be prepared. Organisations of all sizes need practical advice on how to stay protected.
“CES was created by the government to do exactly that. The scheme aims to provide clear guidance and practical advice for firms looking to improve their cyber security practices, whether they’re taking their first steps into cyber security or looking to improve existing processes. It solves an issue for SMEs in particular, who may not have any dedicated in-house IT staff responsible for cyber-security.
“The scheme was mandated earlier in the year for any supplier bidding for public sector contracts, and as awareness grows we expect it to be embraced by firms across all sectors. We were one of the first providers to become certified to CES Plus, so we know how helpful the process is and the improvements it can make.

A floral Syrah if I’ve ever smelled one, honeysuckle, violets; the nose is just gorgeous. There’s a meaty funkiness there too, with all that savory olive that I so adore in cool-climate Syrah. The ’15’s coming out of the Northern Rhone are a force to be reckoned with, buy, buy, buy, even these less expensive versions. This Syrah is probably made from the leftovers of the ’15 vintage and even it is good.
I haven’t exactly heard rave reviews of the cooperative of Tain L’Hermitage before. From what I understand they are basically a group of winemakers who make wine from some of the lesser vineyards around Hermitage and not much of it is usually good. 2015 is one of the better vintages in the history of the Northern Rhone so it’s like that one vintage in Napa where there was such a surplus of good wine that even Charles Shaw was kinda good.
2013: A clean and fresh syrah, I’m used to a little funkiness in my Faury but this one doesn’t have it. It’s just got a nice crunchy freshness to it that reminds me of why I like cool-climate syrah so much. The nose is all fresh plum and mineral accents with a floral element. It’s a super food friendly wine too with a barely perceptible oak. There’s some tannin there but it’s balanced and the acidity is in just the right place. It’s a pitch-perfect syrah. 93 pts.
2014 Faury: The Funk is back for 2014. I’m loving this wine, it’s even a little “cooler climate” oriented than the 13, which makes sense given the vintage. It’s brighter, crunchier, and meatier with a floral element too. There’s an iron, bloody element also. Perfect for a rainy day and a dish with mushrooms. No perceptible oak. 92 pts.
Faury has been one of my favorite wineries for quite a while. Their syrahs are just pure and clean. Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to visit them on my trip over the summer and I’m kicking myself for not making more of an effort.
St. Joseph syrahs continue to be a medium-priced Northern Rhone with some stand out wineries. Faury is certainly one of them.
Somehow I didn’t take a picture of the winery so this photo looking towards the slopes of Côte-Rôtie will have to do.
Pulling into Stephane Ogier’s winery in Côte-Rôtie you immediately know that this tasting experience might be a little different. Very modern and austere, the winery feels a little like an outlier in the middle of all the old rustic stone buildings. Rather than a bell on a string you buzz a gate keypad and state your business. The gates open and you wind up a gravel road to a low angled glass and metal modern structure that almost looks like it’s part of the hill it was built on.
Stephane was off tasting in Portugal but we met with his “right hand man” Graeme Bott. Graeme’s a New Zealander and, after struggling through a few tastings in French, it was a relief to converse with someone completely fluent in English (I know, I need to learn French).
The barrel room is expansive and also modern, clean and bright, it’s more reminiscent of a larger California winery than anything we had seen up until this point in the Northern Rhone. We got started on the 2015’s in barrel and I couldn’t believe how open and finished these wines tasted. Graeme attributed this to the spectacular 2015 vintage which he puts right up there with 1990, 1999, and 2010. The wines had recently been racked which he felt made them more open and approachable even in barrel.
Graeme pulling barrel samples from the 2015 wines.
Stephane Ogier’s 2015 wines are defined by their balance, they aren’t on the lean side but they aren’t on the rich and full side either, they seem to walk the fine line between brawn and finesse. The 2014’s were a little more on the finesse side of things but didn’t lack for power.
Like many of the Northern Rhone wineries we encountered, Ogier seems to combine the best of the traditional wine-making techniques of the region with the best of the modern. He uses a little new oak and makes decisions about stem inclusion based on the vintage. Having studied in Burgundy, Ogier wants to make Syrahs of finesse and elegance. The Burgundian influence also shows in his philosophy of exploring distinct terroirs within the Côte-Rôtie appellation. They produce a Côte-Rôtie Village from younger vines, a Côte-Rôtie reserve, 6 single vineyard Côte-Rôties and two smaller parcel selections from within those single vineyards. Ogier also produces a wine called L’Ame Soeur which is from an as-yet unapproved Seysuel appellation on the other coast of the Rhone River.
The 2015 wine made from the goblet-trained vines of Montmain was rich and full but with an incredible floral aroma. The Fongeant, Cote-Bodin, and La Vialliere were also showing very well out of barrel which Graeme believed had to do not only with the vintage but also with the fact that the barrels had been recently racked.
The 2014 vintage was a trickier vintage than 2015, marked by lots of rain but a dry end of the summer, the wines tend to be more reserved than the 2015’s. We were able to taste the 2014 St. Joseph, the Côte-Rôtie Village, the Côte-Rôtie Reserve and the Seysuel Syrah. All were delicious, elegant Syrahs with floral and savory character. The star of the tasting was a 2012 Belle Helene which is a parcel select wine that Ogier makes; it was savory and umami, no sense of vegetal with an irresistible salted plum character.
It was a pleasure to meet Graeme and his lovely wife Julie (who helped us with dinner reservations at the bistro of the famed La Pyramide) at Stephane Ogier’s winery. I got the sense that, in the sea of modernity that is the Ogier winery, there is still a winemaker that respects the traditions of the Côte-Rôtie by celebrating the elegant, feminine side of Syrah.
Our meeting with Jean Gonon was much anticipated. We had heard about his magnetic personality and how much we would learn from our time with him. And all of it was true. Jean Gonon is a pleasure to be around. He’s articulate, has a good sense of wine in its global setting and he’s very knowledgable about wine in the Northern Rhone.
Domaine Gonon is run by siblings Pierre and Jean Gonon. As the younger brother, Jean was not necessarily expected to play such a large part in the family winery but he came back from college to do some seasonal work when his father became ill. The wine work intrigued him and he just kept doing it. After their father’s death, he and Pierre share all the work in the winery and have what Jean describes as a problem-free working relationship.
Gonon’s vineyard holdings are ten hectares and include their own vineyard holdings above the town of Tournon planted by their great grandfather. This area is referred to as Les Oliviers. Other grapes come from holdings in Mauve and parts of Raymond Trollat’s famed vineyard. These holdings are the ones from which they occasionally make their special Vielles Vignes bottling. The Tournon vineyards are mostly granitic soils.
When it comes to vinification, the Gonons are rather traditional. The wines are aged in neutral oak 600 liter casks. A high percentage of whole cluster is used in the vines but the percentage varies based on the vintage. The vineyards are organic and to that end the Gonons are very proud of the horse they’ve purchased to help plough the vineyard rows. Given the steep slopes, many vineyard owners in St. Joseph still resist ploughing in favor of easier to administer herbicide sprays. The horse has been a revelation.
The Gonons are also big believers in massale selection and are replacing clones when they can. They feel that the clones just produce and produce without moderation and are also generally shorter lived than the original vines that were planted. The old version of Syrah originally endemic to the region produces less grapes but the grapes are of higher quality and the vines tend to live longer. In the 1970s the region saw practically an obsession with clones and now in Jean’s estimation the entire St. Joseph appellation is 90% clone. Like Clusel-Roch in Côte-Rôtie and some of the other organic wineries in the Northern Rhone, turning the tide against clones to return the vineyards to their original historic version of Syrah is a pivotal concern.
The Gonons harvest as late as possible and Jean finds the current fashion and fascination with “fresh” wines in the global wine community rather amusing. In the Northern Rhone, Jean says, “freshness is not the thing, ripeness is the thing”. The struggle to ripen grapes fully is always the main concern. The grapes never get over-cooked. To that end the Gonons and, in fact, many of the winemakers in the Northern Rhone are very excited about the 2015 vintage. It was a consistently sunny vintage which has resulted in richer, darker, more tannic but perhaps less floral versions of Syrah.
The 2014 seemed to me a classic St. Joseph with its floral aromas and distinct mineral edge. It also has less tannin and more acidity. The 2013 was a lot like the 2014 with its elegant floral component. Jean had an interesting observation in which he referred to the aroma in cool-climate Syrah as “dead flowers”, I like this description for Northern Rhone Syrah, the wines often have a floral component (whether or not they include Viognier) but that floral component also has a meaty, rotting, almost bloody element to it.
We also got to taste a 2001 St. Joseph which took its time to open up but was a more rounded and fresh version of the 2013 and 2014 we tasted. A beautiful wine that Jean referred to as “…perfect for a winter day.” I’d have to agree, in the almost 100 degree weather we experienced while in the Northern Rhone the only place to drink these Syrah was the Gonons cellar or better to save them for a wintry day.
The Gonon cellar is dark and cold. Perfect for tasting brooding Syrah.
We had a spectacular and informative time with Jean Gonon. He’s an effusive, amiable and articulate representative of his winery and the Northern Rhone in general.

Our dogs receive the required health testing for their breed before breeding and their results are submitted to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. Papillons must have their heart, eyes, and patellas checked before they can be certified, as well as be tested for PRA1 and NAD. While health testing doesn’t guarantee that dogs produced will be free of all defects, it certainly contributes to the betterment of the breed and helps protect future generations.
We are members in good standing of the Canadian Kennel Club, having been involved in purebred dogs for many years. We are also members of the Papillon Club of Canada, the Lakehead Kennel Club, and the Thunder Bay Kennel and Training Club. Tracey is a lifetime member of the Canadian Kennel Club and has previously bred and shown Shih Tzu and American Cockers. Kylie has been involved with dogs since childhood, starting out as a junior handler with her Alaskan Malamute. In 2006, we became enamored with the beautiful and lively Papillon. A year later, we acquired our first Papillon, and have been hooked on this awesome little breed ever since.
We would love to hear from you if you would like any information about Papillons or our dogs. We occasionally have puppies available. Thanks for visiting our website and sharing in our love for the breed!

Washington columnist Dana Milbank is Jewish, we looked it up in Wikipedia. He even married Jewish, her name is Anna Greenberg (after his marriage to Donna Lynn DePasquale in an interfaith Jewish and Roman Catholic ceremony that ended in divorce). In fact, he is so Jewish, he doesn’t even get the irony of his using anti-Semitic slurs in attacking the most prominent Jewish supporters of President Trump’s pro-White Supremacist comments.
Here’s something from Rabbi Zemel’s Jewish past: after Donald Trump was elected President, Zemel told the Washington Post that he wants to further understanding between liberals and conservatives. He wants to convene very personal conversations —maybe one-on-one, maybe in small groups — between members of Temple Micah and conservative counterparts, perhaps Trump voters, whom they wouldn’t otherwise meet. He might ask speakers from diverse viewpoints to address the synagogue.
Here’s a question: how offended would Dana Milbank be if anyone dared criticize his views on, say, Israel on the grounds that he is obligated to think and feel a certain way because he is Jewish, and an influential media Jew to boot? What about when he wrote, in a 2015 column: “Without two states, there won’t be even one Jewish state if — God forbid — my daughter or her progeny someday have no place else to go.” Was that a betrayal of the Jewish dream of a return to our Biblical homeland, which, alas, was more Judea and Samaria than Jaffa and Caesarea? Is it treasonous for Milbank to promote the uprooting of half a million Jews, to make room for the 23rd Arab dictatorship in the Middle East?
Of course not, because although Milbank’s notions are repugnant, we refute them because they are bereft of facts and are lethal – not because he is the son of a Jewish mother. Which, incidentally, we’ll have to see some papers for when his daughter or her progeny some day, God forbid, wants to settle here (we’re joking, we love the children of Jewish anti-Semites).

I've lived in my childhood home off and on for the past 50 plus years and have encountered two mice. The first was years ago, as a little girl, with tender feelings for "All Creatures Great and Small." My Dad caught that little fellow in a paper bag and I made him promise to take Mickey outside and let him go. To this day, I don't know whether he kept that promise. After the morning I just had, I hope he didn't!
It all started at 5am in my usual rush to make a nutritious lunch for work. I yanked ("yanked" is a funny word) open the pantry cupboard door, looking for cookies, resulting in what I thought was a Jello box falling from a shelf on the door to my shoulder. However, last time I checked, Jello boxes do not have a head, legs, and tail. I discovered that I'm quite fluent in screaming. I screamed in English (being my native language), Spanish (being my high school language), French (being my want-to-learn language ), Ukrainian (being my ancestral scream), German (being guttural and properly harsh), and finally Australian (but who could understand that scream?) Perhaps that's why no one in the family came running to investigate the screaming ninny in the kitchen! After slamming the cupboard door on Mr. Mouse, I did the girlie thing of standing on a chair. I used this heightened awareness time to contemplate my next strategy. Would pepper spray leave lingering smells in the kitchen? Would pepper spray bring down a mouse? Would macing a mouse have lingering emotional effects on me? You may be wondering why I have pepper spray in my possession. But that's another story.
The clock was ticking and I was wishing the mouse would run up said clock and be struck Hickory Dickory into the next parallel universe. Unfortunately, I was the one who had to come down, leave a Danger Note for slumbering family members, and depart for work without my cookies.
Traumatized but functioning, I called home at a decent hour to get an up-date on the situation. Husband and Mother had both heard the screams but Husband thought I was sneezing and Mother was groggy so both just went back to sleep. Is that concern or what?
Perhaps Dad is smiling down at me, letting me know that he kept his promise and I've only seen one mouse in this house.

The extent to which property owners of a defective building have a valid claim against professionals with involvement in the development is a subject that has recently seen an upsurge in interest and litigation. In the past months two TCC judgments have been published that consider the particular role and potential liabilities of approved inspectors (AIs): Zagora Management Ltd and others v Zurich Insurance plc and others and Lessees and Management Company of Herons Court v Heronslea Ltd and others.
To the disappointment of property owners, and perhaps the relief of insurers, these cases demonstrate the difficulties claimants face in succeeding against AIs.
The AI regime was introduced by sections 47–50 of the Building Act 1984 (BA 1984). Prior to this, it was only local authorities who could provide inspectors for the purposes of enforcement and certification of compliance with the Building Regulations. The BA 1984 essentially permitted the privatisation of these inspectors. These private inspectors are approved in the sense that they have to apply to be placed on a register held by the Construction Industry Council.
At the time the BA 1984 was passed, Anns v Merton was good law and any inspector potentially owed a duty of care in respect of the economic loss caused by any defect in a building not spotted in a negligent Building Regulations inspection and certification. However, in 1990, the House of Lords in Murphy v Brentwood overturned Anns v Merton and decided that local authority building control inspectors did not owe any such duty. In Tesco v Wards Construction this was applied to find that local authority inspectors did not owe a common law duty of care to avoid causing physical damage to property either. The question of whether this duty applied to private AIs was doubted, though left open.
After these developments, there seem to have been no reported cases involving civil claims against AIs for almost 25 years. However, the recent proliferation of issues relating to non-compliance with the Building Regulations, in particular fire-stopping problems, has clearly led parties to think again as to whether there may be a valid claim against an AI for wrongly issuing a Building Regulations certificate.
The Zagora case involved claims by the freeholder and leaseholders of two blocks of flats in Hulme, Manchester, against the AI (Zurich Building Control Services). The flats were found to have serious defects, including major fire-safety related defects in respect of which the fire service had issued a prohibition notice.
As the judge made clear, the claim against the AI was put in the tort of deceit “since under the existing law negligence alone will not suffice.” It was claimed that the AI knew that the statements it made in the Building Regulations final certificates were not true, or knew that there were no reasonable grounds for believing the truth of the statements, or was reckless as to their truth. On causation, the claimants argued that they would not have acquired their property interests had they known the true position.
The judge found (in section 11 of his long judgment) that the AI had made misrepresentations in the Building Regulations final certificates that he knew to be false. He had known of serious concerns with the development and compliance with the regulations, particularly as regards fire safety, and yet had signed off the certificates “to get the job off his desk”.
However, this was not enough for the claims to succeed. The judge held that the claimants’ cases failed for lack of reliance. The claim by the freeholder of the flats failed because it was a subsequent purchaser and there was no evidence that the AI had intended that a subsequent purchaser would rely on the Building Regulations final certificate. The leaseholders’ claims failed because on the facts there was no evidence that they (or their conveyancing solicitors) had been provided with or asked for the Building Regulations final certificates or relied on them, and as such the false certificates did not induce the leaseholders to purchase the flats.
In Herons Court the claimants were the lessees and management company of a block of twelve flats in Radlett, Herfordshire. The fourth defendant was the NHBC Building Control Services, which carried out AI services. The alleged defects on the flats included inadequate fire resistance and water resistance.
In an attempt to get around the difficulties with a negligence claim caused by Murphy or the need to prove deceit, the claimants in this case framed their allegations of breach against the AI under the Defective Premises Act 1972 (DPA 1972). Section 1(1) of the DPA 1972 requires those who take on work “for or in connection with the provision of a dwelling” to carry out that work in a workmanlike manner, or, as the case may be, in a professional manner with proper materials so that the dwelling is fit for habitation.
The current edition of Keating on Construction Contracts at paragraph 16-005, states that “it is not clear whether a local authority [or AI] performing its duties under the building regulations can come within [section 1(1) of the DPA 1972].” Following Herons Court, it is now clear that it does not, as the AI successfully applied to strike out the claim.
Waksman J carefully analysed the judgments of the House of Lords in Murphy and concluded that they were inconsistent with a view that the DPA 1972 applied to Building Regulations inspection services. This was also reflected in Law Commission Report No.40, which led to the enactment of the DPA 1972, and which considered that section 1 would apply to builders, sub-contractors, and professionals such as architects, surveyors and engineers who contribute in a meaningful way to the design or construction of the building. Instead, as regards an AI, the judge found that “what it is contributing to is the aim of ensuring that the building is lawful”. Further, section 38 of the BA 1984 (which is not in force) provides for a remedy for breach of duty imposed by the Building Regulations. Waksman J held that this militated against the suggestion that AIs were subject to the earlier DPA 1972.
The appearance of these two AI cases in close succession, following a long period in which the liability of an AI has not been argued before the courts, reflects the increasing trend of buildings being found to be non-compliant with the Building Regulations, and claimant owners understandably seeking a remedy against a viable (insurance-backed) defendant.
However, the prospects of a claim against an AI have not improved since the 1990s, and these two cases reiterate the formidable difficulties for claimants in succeeding against AIs in tort.
The role of an AI or local authority pursuant to the BA 1984 and Building Regulations is seen as relating to regulatory certification, primarily aimed at health, safety and welfare of persons (Tesco v Wards), as opposed to involvement in the “provision” or construction of a building.
As Waksman J points out in Herons Court, there is a concern that it makes little sense for a claim against a local authority carrying out the Building Regulations inspection function to be barred (as found in Murphy), but to allow one when a private AI is carrying out precisely the same functions.
Either way, the courts have effectively shut the door on both negligence claims for economic loss and claims under the DPA 1972 against an AI. Unless and until section 38 of the Building Act 1984 is brought into force (which would give parties a direct cause of action for breach of the Building Regulations), or AIs are willing to give collateral warranties to purchasers, it seems parties wishing to claim against an AI will be left only with the difficult route of a claim in deceit/fraudulent misrepresentation.

There are relatively few moments in life in which every single thing seems perfect. So when one comes along, you grab it and hold it tight. Or, at least, I do. Such was the case in early November, when eighty or so of us gathered in Half Moon Bay, California, for the launch of Movement Matters: Essays on Movement Science, Movement Ecology, and the Nature of Movement, by Katy Bowman.
First of all, the setting. Exquisite. We were so fortunate to be hosted by Doniga Markegard and her family on their working cattle ranch. The green and gold hills rolled by, dotted with cattle, the mountains rose behind them, the Pacific Ocean waved in the distance. Doniga and her husband Erik are the finest kind of people, and gave us such a warm welcome to the beautiful land they farm. The weather, too, was perfect. Balmy and sunny, with just a gentle breeze, hardly a cloud in the sky, no veil of fog.
Katy wanted a forage-and-farm-to-table meal, in keeping with the themes she explores in Movement Matters, and we found a perfect chef in Kevin Koebel of Local FATT (Food Awareness Through Teaching). Chef Kevin was entirely unfazed when I told him we wanted our guests to participate in some way in making the meal they were going to share with each other. In fact, this is the basis of what Chef Kevin does. So on the appointed day, he marshaled our eighty-or-so guests and got them working on cooking, assembling, and serving delicious appetizers, as cows milled around and the sun slanted across the hills. This act of making and serving food together turned our eighty guests into a cohesive group; fast friends were made, along with tasty bites!
As the sun began to drift down toward the horizon, we raised our glasses and made a toast to water—“not just a condiment for your meal,” Katy said, “but the earth’s blood.” Water is life, we agreed, thinking of the WaterKeepers and all those at Standing Rock, and we savoured our water before the meal was served.
The sun set, the air grew chilly, and Chef Kevin served platter after platter of incredible locally-sourced food. Cowbells punctuated conversation. Friendships were renewed and solidified. As guests began to think about drifting off into the night, coffee and hot cocoa was served, alongside bowls of fair-trade chocolate from Santa Barbara Chocolates. We stood together in small groups, hot drink in one hand, handful of chocolate in the other, finishing conversations that had woven through the party, saying goodbye for now. A sweet end to a sweet evening. We are so grateful to everyone who worked to make our party a success, to everyone who made the journey to celebrate Movement Matters with us, and to everyone who took an interest from afar! Thank you!

Certain medications containing valsartan, a drug to treat high blood pressure, could contain a second substance that can cause cancer, Health Canada says.
All drugs containing valsartan, manufactured by Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals in China, were recalled in Canada after a first impurity, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), was identified earlier this summer. NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen, which means long-term exposure could increase the risk of cancer, according to regulators.
Drugs containing valsartan treat high blood pressure and help prevent heart attacks and stroke. They are also used by patients who have had heart failure or a recent heart attack.
On Thursday, Health Canada said a second impurity, called N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), has also been found in valsartan manufactured by the Chinese company.
"The new information regarding NDEA is very limited at this time. Health Canada is assessing the issue and will update Canadians as more information becomes available," the regulator said.
Contact their health-care provider as soon as possible to discuss treatment options if they have been using an affected product. Pharmacists may be able to provide a product not affected by the recall, or doctors may prescribe a different medication.
Continue taking their valsartan medication unless they have been advised to stop by their health-care provider. Since the risk of cancer is with long-term exposure to the NDMA and NDEA impurities, there is no immediate health risk, and patients can continue to take this drug to treat their medical condition until they can discuss treatment options with their health-care provider.
Contact your health-care provider if you have taken recalled valsartan products and have health concerns.
Earlier this week, Health Canada released its health risk assessment for valsartan products containing NDMA.
Given the longest time affected products were sold in Canada was three years, Health Canada said it estimated that among those taking the largest dose of valsartan (230 mg/day), the potential increased risk of cancer over a lifetime could be one additional case of cancer for every 11,600 people taking the product.
To put the estimate into context, nearly one in two Canadians is expected to develop cancer during a lifetime.
For the lowest valsartan dose (40 mg), Health Canada estimated the potential increased risk of cancer over a lifetime could be one additional case for every 93,400 people taking the product.
Both European medical agencies and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration also withdrew affected valsartan products from the market because of suspected NDMA contamination.
In this week's issue of BMJ, Danish researchers concluded the recalled blood pressure medications are not linked to increased short-term cancer risk, based on data from Danish health registries.
Those never exposed to NDMA.
Those probably or possibly prescribed valsartan products contaminated with NDMA.
People were tracked for an average of 4.6 years.
"Our results do not imply a marked increased short-term overall cancer risk in users of valsartan contaminated with NDMA. However, uncertainty persists regarding single cancer outcomes, and studies with longer followup are needed to assess long-term cancer risk," Kasper Bruun Kristensen of the University of Southern Denmark in Odense and his co-authors concluded.
A journal editorial published with the study said regulators took rapid action, but exposed patients still need long-term monitoring.
"This study may give some reassurance to people already exposed to this additive, but this should not prevent patients from routine cancer screening and future avoidance of this additive," Bhusri told HealthDay News.
Cardiologists and pharmacists have said different alternatives exist for the recalled products.
As of Aug. 18, Health Canada said, the list of recalled products included medications from Teva Canada, Sandoz, Sanis, Pro Doc Ltée and Sivem Pharmaceuticals. The regulator has also updated its list of products that have not been recalled.

"Annette was very helpful throughout the process. Our closing went very smoothly."
"I couldn't have asked for a better loan officer. Annette is knowledgeable, accessible, responsive. I had been looking at properties for 18 months and she ran the numbers for me multiple times, answered a multitude of questions. She was available and responsive 100%. "
"Professional and prompt with every reply. It was a pleasure doing business. "
"We had a great experience. We worked together through multiple offers and finally all the way through settlement. Annette & Anna were professional, friendly, prompt & knowledgable helping us stay on top of every aspect of the process. They not only answered our questions quickly, but they always went the extra step to help explain in full detail the 'why' behind the strategy."
"Annette was so kind and wonderful to work with. I feel like she really customized her approach for our situation, and made sure we were making wise decisions. We were so lucky to have worked with her!"
"It was difficult to navigate the 203k process with a lender and agent that had never done one of these loans before. The seller was not always helpful in getting us the information we needed or telling us what we needed. For instance, the selling agent was never able to get the utilities turned on so we could have an inspection performed. We had issues like a missing grounding wire and a vandalism report had to be filed. Overall, without Annette and Carol's persistence we would have never been able to get through this process."
"Annette was wonderful, highly recommended!"
"Annette was amazing and very easy to work with."
"She is absolutely amazing. Annette is a true miracle worker."
"Annette Dougherty and The Morgage Network were fantastic throughout the whole process. They were cheerful, communicative, and helpful. Annette in particular really went the extra mile to help us in a challenging transaction with a lot of tough last-minute changes. Highest recommendation!"
"Annette and her team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish- they provided constant assistance through the how process and made communication very easy."
"Annette was great! She explained everything so clearly and held our hands through this whole process!"

I got tickled when I first saw this word. I have to admit, I have dealt with rewrite-itis. What is it? It’s a severe condition that effects both published and unpublished writers according to The Everything Guide To Writing A Romance Novel. It means your are unable to call a book, chapter, or even a scene finished. So what causes the condition? A fear of failure or success. For me it is definitely failure.
So what do you think? Do you have a case of rewrite-itis?
So what is the cure? Set goals and deadlines and stick to them. Remember your manuscript is your baby, but sooner or later you have to turn it loose.
Many years ago (early 1990s), I was listening to an (as yet unpublished) author give advice on writing, and he kept saying, ‘You must be willing to rewrite. Nobody wants to do that, but you have to.’ So I asked him how to know when to stop rewriting, and he looked at me as if he had no idea what I meant, and then said, ‘Nobody has that problem.’ Clearly this person didn’t know many writers.

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Mrs. Krishna Hutheesing with Mr. and Mrs.
Pai in front of their residence in Kandy July 1939.
The Raj Agent in Ceylon 1936-40 is a book by Sharada Nayak, the daughter of Ammembal Vittal Pai, an ICS officer who served both sides of Independence. The narrative takes us through some important phases of the history of Indo-Ceylon relations during the crucial years between 1936 and 1940. In his foreword, G. Parthasarathy, former Foreign Service officer, recalls the sterling role played by A V Pai in dealing with the growing demands from the Sinhala political leadership for the repatriation of a large number of Indian Tamils. Parthasarathy himself was designated later by the then Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, to handle issues pertaining to the fall out of the presence of the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) in Sri Lanka between 1987 and 1989. Therefore his stating in his foreword that “this book draws attention to some of the historical complexities in building a vibrant, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-religious policy in Sri Lanka” lends significance to the work of Sharad Nayak.
Born 1901, in Calicut, A.V. Pai, after his early education in Mangalore, graduated from the Presidency College, Madras, proceeded to England for further studies in Wadham College, Oxford University, and was called to the Bar in 1925. As was with many a bright student from India, he appeared for the exam and got inducted into the Indian Civil Service. Pai married Tara, the only daughter of Dr. Kesava Pai, well known in Madras for the treatment of Tuberculosis. Dr. Kesava Pai retired as the first Indian to head the King’s Institute, Guindy.
With the passing of the Emigration Act, the Government of India established an Agency in Ceylon in 1923. This was manned by an ICS officer known as the Raj Agent in Ceylon. Pai, who had been assigned to the Madras Presidency cadre, was serving in Kumbakonam when he was sent to Ceylon in 1936 as the Agent of the Indian Government in Ceylon.
His daughter, Sharada, author of the book, remembers the excitement they felt as children when they boarded the Indo-Ceylon Express at Egmore where the Health Officers checked the immigrants. She recalls Mandapam camp, run by the Government of Ceylon, where the officials checked the applications of workers from India proceeding to Ceylon for a living. The kanganis were the recruiting agents for the tea estate owners of Ceylon and the workers obeyed them without murmur due to their state of poverty and lack of employment in India. The job-seekers were herded into large sheds with their families, little knowing what awaited them in the island but hoping for a better future. It was much later that the author learned that those groups of ragged peasants were the reason for the journey of her family to Ceylon.
She remembers that as a child of barely 5 she was told the reason for the name Dhanushkodi – it was Vibhishana who, when crowned by Rama, said, “Oh Rama, as long as we were an island the sea surrounded and protected us. Now that you have built a bridge we are vulnerable.” Rama with his bow struck the bridge and broke it. Broken by a bow (dhanush), the place came to be known as Dhanushkodi.
The Pai family was to live in Kandy, in the hill country, a place of great natural beauty; Pai did not take the house his predecessor, K.P.S. Menon, had lived in, but took The Orchard with its pretty, sloping garden lined with durian trees. Sharada’s sisters were Kanaka and Shanti. Their mother introduced them to their neighbour, Mrs Jonklaas, a Burgher family, who remarked, “You have Wealth and Learning and Peace!” (meaning Kanaka, Sharada and Shanti).
When the slavery system was abolished and an indentured labour system introduced by the West, it was easy for those others who needed labour to adopt this system, though there was no change in exploitation of the workers. The kanganis recruited and sent more than 70,000 immigrants to Ceylon in 1934-35 alone. Sharada narrates that the Nattukottai Chettiars in Ceylon were a force to reckon with as they controlled to some extent the economy of the island. She feels that with so many Indians contributing to the economic activity of the island, there was considerable prejudice and overt discrimination against them, particularly if they were unskilled labour.
Two matters that took up considerable time and travel in 1937 and 1938 for Pai were the contemplated eviction of Kandapola cultivators and the Village Communities Ordinance. To have first-hand knowledge, Pai visited 49 estates. In 1937 the Governor of Ceylon was Sir Andrew Caldecott and under pressure from Ceylonese leaders, he appointed a one-man commission to study the problems of immigration. Sir Edward Jackson was the appointee and Pai, as Agent, gave his report. During 1931 and 1932 the wages were cut for the workers and the Agent in his report asked that the migrant labour be treated as Ceylonese and given the same rights and dues.
The book’s most important chapter is the visit of Nehru to the island in July 1939. Accompanied by Krishna Hutheesing, his sister, he drove around the island with Pai. He visited the tea gardens to understand the problems faced by the Indian workers. When Nehru returned to India, he sent his notes to Pai to examined for correctness. An entire chapter is devoted to the correspondence between Nehru and Pai and throws light into their deep sense of commitment to solve problems in the beginning itself.
The book, quoting extensively from later accords between the two countries, is a mine of information for scholars wanting to research Indo-Sri Lankan relations as far as the Indian Tamil issue is concerned.

Talambuhay is a Filipino word for “depiction of life” or “autobiography”. Story telling is a necessity in preserving one’s history, culture and life story. My only goal in life is to make sure my life story stays inspiring. I’m not driven by large incomes or claim to fame. I simply want to tell an inspiring story.

Architects plan and design building and structures, such as private residences, office buildings, theaters, factories, hospitals, and museums.
Architects discuss with clients the objectives, requirements, and budget of a project. In some cases, architects provide various predesign services, such as feasibility and environmental impact studies, site selection, cost analyses and land-use studies, and design requirements. Architects must help conceptualize the program and devise formal solutions for the client.
In developing designs, architects must create compelling spaces all the while serving a functional need, following building codes, zoning laws, fire regulations, and other ordinances, such as those requiring easy access by people who are disabled.
Computer-aided design and drafting (CAD) and building information modeling (BIM) technology have replaced traditional drafting paper and pencil as the most common methods for creating designs and construction drawings. Still, being able to sketch is an important skill that architects should cultivate to effectively communicate with clients during meetings or with consultants in systems coordination.
Architects also may help clients get construction bids, select contractors, and negotiate construction contracts.
As construction proceeds, architects may visit building sites to ensure that contractors follow the design intent, keep to the schedule, use the specified materials, and meet work-quality standards. The job is not complete until all construction is finished, required tests are conducted, and construction costs are paid.
Long Hours: Culturally architects are known to work long hours as they feel like design can always iterate and become better. They also are oftentimes the prime consultant working right under a client on projects, and this role requires them to oversee all other specialty consultants’ work.
Compensation: Typically, architects do not get compensated to the level that other professionals with a similar amount of schooling may get. However, most architects often say they love how their training affords them to see the world and be creative with whatever task may be put in front of them.
New areas of practice include ideation, design strategy, and public interest design.
You can get not call yourself an Architect until you are licensed. However, you can do the work even if you are not licensed. You are just called a Designer.
Getting licensed varies by jurisdiction; however, below are the general steps. For more information about specific jurisdictions, go to NCARB.
Some schools are known for being very hands-on about building while others are known to be more conceptual. Some architecture departments are housed in the same building as the landscape architecture, urban design, or art departments. Depending on your personal bent, you should choose a school that suits what kind of architect you would like to be.
Take the time to create a well-designed web-based and/or digital- or paper-based portfolio of your best work.
Intern during school or summers and make connections.
Personal references: However, as is the case in many other fields, getting a job through personal references (e.g. friends, colleagues, alumni) may be most fruitful. Don’t be afraid to ask professors or administrators for help. More often than not, they will respect how proactive you are and help.
Professional Sites: Sometimes blogs like Dezeen and Archinect and professional sites like the AIA will have job boards.
Keep abreast of the latest technologies in the industry.
Keep in touch with your network of designers and architects.
Keep your LinkedIn profile updated.
Try to become an expert in a certain type of design or with a certain valuable program.

GLD is on a bear signal just above critical support. A loss of support in the 120 to 121 area would target roughly 105, based simply on the pattern’s measurement.
SLV is on a bear signal and has lost the equivalent of the support we noted for silver in NFTRH 265.
GDX is on a bear signal. Critical support is the October low.
SIL is on a bear signal and at critical support.
DBC is on a bear signal.
SPY is on a bull signal, is over bought and painted a bearish candle yesterday. It may be time to protect positions by hedging or think about taking some profits for those who are broad stock market players. At least that is what I am doing.
EZU is on a bull signal, is no longer strenuously over bought and turning up.
EEM is neutral to bull signal as it bounces hard off of support we noted previously.
FXI is just about to make a full bull signal, with only a green (zero +) MACD in waiting. It turns out that the bullish weekly chart we reviewed in NFTRH 264 won out over the neutral to bearish daily. It was a flag consolidation after all.

Legal experts and trade officials were in Chicago Monday to discuss regulatory challenges facing companies that are forming online business-to-business exchanges.
For now, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has no plans to impose new regulations for these e-commerce platforms, which generally function as electronic marketplaces where businesses can buy and sell products and services.
Gail F. Levine, assistant director of the office of planning and policy for the FTC in Washington, D.C., suggested that e-commerce exchange participants proceed with caution, making sure to follow existing antitrust rules in the absence of regulations designed specifically for online operations.
"There is no interest from the FTC to put in jeopardy important efficiencies that b-to-b exchanges can bring," Ms. Levine said during a session at the Online Exchanges 2000 conference, being held at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers this week. "Antitrust issues are largely solvable by good antitrust planning."
The lack of new regulations is good news for Chicago-based e-commerce exchanges like Transora, which targets the consumer package goods industry, and Wood Dale-based Aerospan.com Inc., an exchange for airplane parts and supplies.
Earlier this year, the FTC published a staff report that illustrates potential antitrust pitfalls facing b-to-b exchanges. Ms. Levine said there are three main pitfalls: information sharing, exclusivity rules and joint purchasing.
For example, sharing data about prices, inventory and expenses with competitors--as online exchanges commonly do--can look like price-fixing. One way to avoid running afoul of antitrust rules is to make sure all price-related information is not identifiable by company, said Patrick Ahern, an attorney with Chicago's Baker & McKenzie, who also spoke during the session.
The conference was organized by London-based First Conferences Ltd. Several technology companies, including Chicago-based Lante Corp., were among the sponsors.

Although The Cheesesteak Sandwich originated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1979, Roy Brostrand came up with the concept for a Cheesesteak business and opened a store in South Jersey. Later, he sold it to move to Atlanta.
In 1984, in Atlanta, the Philly Connection® concept was developed and introduced– that restaurant continues to operate today. The company then opened additional locations and, in 1988, franchise operations commenced.
Raymond Gaspart and John Pollack purchased Roy’s shares and took the Philly Connection® to a whole new level, building the multiple store franchise concept nationwide. Back in 1984, Roy Brostrand and John Pollock were instrumental in the birth of the Philly Connection® and now with, Raymond Gaspart, they’re writing the next chapter as Philly Connection Food Trucks serve Philly Cheesesteaks all over the country in state-of-the-art mobile food trucks.
The Philly Connection developed a recipe for the steak meat used to make Philly Connection’s proprietary Cheesesteak sandwich. The recipe includes a certain cut of whole-muscle beef, a secret marinade and a special processing technique that produces a high-quality, great-tasting, juicy, tender sliced steak product that is still used today by the Philly Connection® network of franchise restaurants. Those same time tested recipes will also be used on the mobile Philly Connection Food Trucks.
Roy Brostrand and his partners John Pollock and Raymond Gaspart are excited to be launching new food truck franchises nationwide. With the launch of social media such as Facebook and Twitter and the use of GPS, loyal and hungry fans of Philly Connection Food Trucks can find out where their favorite food truck will be serving each day.
The Philly Connection Food Truck is a natural in the burgeoning food truck industry. Brostrand, Gaspart and Pollock saw the potential. They knew that the Cheesesteak was the perfect sandwich to be sold on a food truck and the rise of social media would be the perfect way for the mobile business to be found.

text: Abstract: Planning accurate manipulation for deformable objects requires prediction of their state. The prediction is often complicated by a loss of stability that may result in collapse of the deformable object. In this work, stability of a fabric strip folding performed by a robot is studied. We show that there is a static instability in the folding process. This instability is detected in a physics-based simulation and the position of the instability is verified experimentally by real robotic manipulation. Three state-of-the-art methods for folding are assessed in the presence of static instability. It is shown that one of the existing folding paths is suitable for folding of materials with internal friction such as fabrics. Another folding path that utilizes dynamic motion exists for ideal elastic materials without internal friction. Our results show that instability needs to be considered in planning to obtain accurate manipulation of deformable objects.
