Even though everyone adores their dogs or cats, a lot of people hate the fact that when they come home from work they walk into their houses and smell nothing but their pets. Of course, you might let them stay outside on a regular basis and never come into the house. Even so, if perhaps you’re like me, there’s no way you would make your dog live outside forever. As a result, this document will explore several of the ways that you can extract pet odors from your home.
With regard to cat fans, taking in litter box stinks can be a regular occurrence. Something you should do is actually to change the cat litter every few days as this can really help to reduce the smells.Even if you use cat litter which is combined with baking soda, using more baking soda may help to further reduce cat smells.
If you have a considerable amount of carpet in your home, there is a uncomplicated way to get rid of pet smells. You should search for a large spray bottle. At this point fill the sprayer with water. Take a walk across the carpeted areas of your living space spraying them with water. Make sure to only dampen the carpet rather than soaking it. Then bring baking soda and as evenly as possible begin sprinkling the baking soda all over the moistened carpeting.
If you have a carpet brush, use it to help a carpet soak up the water and baking soda. For people who happen to be unacquainted, a carpet brush is just what it sounds like, a brush to use on your carpeting. It actually more closely resembles a rake than a standard brush. These can can be found at just about nearly any floor covering store and even most hardware stores have these brushes.
When your carpet is totally dry, it is advisable to vacuum the entire area. While this works great for traditional pet smells, it will not be that effective on urine odor. To get rid of these tough odors, you are going to need to buy a dog or cat urine odor removal product. Look for an item with enzymes included. These pet enzymes pretty much just get rid of the urine odor by breaking down the urine. The majority of these methods will likely improve just about any type of household furniture. However be sure to read the labels on the furniture to make certain these techniques are not going to harm the fabric. On a concluding word about the furniture cleaning. If you’re in a fiscal position to spend a lot of money on furniture, you may just want to replace your outdated couch when the smell gets too bad. Another choice might be to pay an expert to clean it professionally.

Great article Todd. I could not agree more with every point you brought up here. You really should get this article published. I share your opinion on these new doomsday shows. The newest being Doomsday Bunkers on The Discovery Chanel is not quite as disappointing as Doomsday Preppers on Nat Geo. Doomsday Bunkers has other issues in that it’s just boring. I would like to add one thing to this discussion in regards to how mainstream preppers are portrayed on Doomsday Preppers. If you take any hobby or area of interest that has a lot of people participating you will find the top 5% take it to another level. For example, take a look at sports fans. The mainstream sports fan does not run five fantasy leagues or have twelve video streams of different sporting events streaming into his man cave. The top 5% of extreme sports fan might. This holds true for emergency preparedness. Doomsday Peppers has chosen to find this categories top 5% of extremist and advertise them as the face of preppers…….in reality, nothing could be further from the truth. The show is ridiculous and should be taken off the air. It is not helping or entertaining anyone that I know.
While in principal I agree with a community approach to preparing for disasters, I cannot help but to see the value of a moderate approach as presented by the doomsday peepers. If nothing, events like hurricane Katrina taught me that in nearly every society there are people who will propagate chaos to prosper at the cost of others. I for one believe in personal preparness and while you will not find me digging a bunker and preparing for a zombie apocalypse, I have enough food stored my family to survive if cut off from our normal sources. To me this is just common sense; in the event I am out of work due to the economy or the end of the world as we know it 😉 we can survive. If we are all prepared with our families daily needs, we wouldn’t need to rely on FEMA, we could pull together as a community and work to recover from what ails us. Give me one example since the 1970’s where community has prevailed in disasterous circumstances and I will give you one hundred incidences of lawlessnes.
Great blog Todd! I was just watching this show the other day and was disgusted/amused at many of these preppers. It is so disheartening to see the mindset of these groups who have obviously seen or played too many apocalyptic movies/zombie games.

Create a dreamy baby wearing coat for men + women, by converting our popular Forester coat into a stunning baby-wearing garment. The two nifty "zip in" panels - for both baby-wearing and pregnancy - can be removed when not required for a truly versatile garment.
Men's + women's carry panels both included in the one add-on.
This is an add-on to the men's and women's Forester coat. You need to either own a Forester coat pattern, or purchase the bundle using the dropdown menu for all the required pattern pieces. (If you already have the Nestledown VEST Add-on, simply redownload it from your account to receive the new COAT version of the Nestledown add-on free - you would need to own a copy of the Forester coat to use it though).
Make old things new again! Twig & Tale patterns pair wonderfully with upcycled fabrics.
Please note: The Nestledown baby-wearing coat is not a stand alone carrier. The coat must be worn combined with a front wearing carrier as it does NOT hold the baby on its own!

YP is a specialist in developing young people potential, specifically young people who struggle in main stream education. Set up in 2016, YP Potential CIC is a division of The Apprentice Academy. Working with partners, we support projects designed to build young people’s self-esteem, increase aspiration and tackle social issues.
Our primary mission is to support young people who face social or economic barriers. As well as sponsoring programmes ourselves, we also work with partners to co-fund projects through sister programme One Mile Project.
This creates barriers to many pathways from apprenticeships to further education. The result is the UK is missing out on a vast amount of talent due to issues such as poverty, exclusion from school and negative peer influences. For a young person to succeed, they first need hope; sadly for many young people in economically challenged communities this is missing. Over their life time, a disengaged young person who becomes unemployed can result in negative economic impact of £250,000 to £1,000,000. The answer isn’t about creating victims, it is about creating pathways.

Medical staff at Alameda County’s Juvenile Hall are calling for an investigation into the recent bidding process that recommended Children’s Hospital Oakland provide medical care at a new juvenile detention facility opening next month.
The 27 medical providers at the hall, including physicians, nurse practitioners and dentists, sent a letter earlier this month to the county Board of Supervisors asking them to investigate the matter. They also met with several supervisors and their staff.
Chief among the concerns: a delayed bid process critics say gave Children’s Hospital extra time to complete its proposal; how the bids were scored; and close ties between a high-ranking health department official and Children’s Hospital.
County health officials dispute allegations of favoritism and say the medical staff’s employer, the Alameda County Medical Center, submitted an incomplete bid way over budget and could have been disqualified outright.
For years, 24-hour medical services at Juvenile Hall have been run by the county’s public hospital system, the Alameda County Medical Center, which includes Highland Hospital in Oakland. In November, the county Health Care Services Agency issued a request for proposal to provide medical services at the new Juvenile Justice Center, which will replace the old hall this spring. Camp Wilmont Sweeney, a nearby unlocked residential program for about 90 teen males, is included in the contract.
The $176 million Juvenile Justice Center, located near the current Juvenile Hall in San Leandro, has 360 beds. It will provide expanded medical and mental health services, including exam areas in each of the 12 living units. County officials hope the new correctional facility will become the gold standard for treating incarcerated minors and reduce recidivism rates.
Three providers submitted bids — the Alameda County Medical Center, Children’s Hospital Oakland and Prison Health Services, a national correctional health care provider. The bid deadline, set for Jan. 18, was extended twice, with final bids accepted until Feb. 8.
The hall’s medical staff contends that the deadline was extended to give Children’s Hospital special treatment. Alex Briscoe, assistant director of the county Health Care Services Agency, said that isn’t true.
The first extension was granted over questions from all bidders around financing data and other procedural issues. The second extension was granted to provide clarifications on how the request for proposal was issued, he said. County counsel approved both extensions, he said.
“There’s no conspiracy here,” Briscoe said.
Seven outside experts scored the bids, including experts in finance, adolescent medicine and mental health, Briscoe said. Children’s Oakland scored highest in four of five categories, including experience, service plan and alignment with the new hall’s program design. The Alameda County Medical Center scored the lowest overall, according to bid documents.
A number of factors may have cost the medical center the initial yearlong contract. The medical center’s bid came in at $4.9 million — far higher than the capped cost of the project, $2.8 million.
“It’s county policy that you can’t submit a bid for bigger than the cost of the project,” Briscoe said.
The medical center has been providing services at the hall at a loss for many years, and a $2.8 million annual budget is simply unrealistic, Harris said.
Medical center administration officials declined to comment.
Briscoe said the bid from Children’s Oakland included ideas on how to obtain public funds, such as Medi-Cal, to pay for medical services outside of county reimbursement.
“Children’s was aggressive in its proposal on this and addresses new revenue potential,” he said.
Briscoe also said the medical center didn’t follow basic instructions. One copy of the bid was submitted instead of the required six copies, an entire section was omitted and the document was formatted wrong, Briscoe said.
“Because of the medical center’s historic relationship with Juvenile Hall, the review committee scored the proposal even though it was not compliant,” he said.
“I don’t believe we put together the best possible bid, but it came from a sincere effort,” Harris said, adding that the manager in charge of crafting the medical center’s bid has since been fired.
The bids have not been made public.
The hall’s medical staff also accused Briscoe of a conflict of interest because he previously worked with Children’s Hospital at one of its school-based clinics. A former colleague, Dr. Barbara Staggers, is an expert in adolescent health at Children’s Hospital and spearheaded the hospital’s bid proposal. Briscoe said he did not participate in the bid scoring for precisely that reason.
“Barbara is my friend and mentor and I would never hide my relationship with her,” he said.
Children’s Hospital declined to comment.
The Juvenile Hall’s medical staff said their concerns do not stem from fear of losing their positions. Should the Board of Supervisors award the contract to another provider, the staff will transfer to other county hospitals and clinics, they said.
Board of Supervisors President Keith Carson is taking the accusations very seriously, said staffer Amy De Rays. Carson was out of town and could not be reached for comment.
The Board of Supervisors is expected to vote on the county Health Care Services Agency recommendation to award Children’s Hospital the contract later this month.

President of the Nigeria Referees Association, Tade Azeez, on Monday, described the death of Taiwo Ogunjobi, a former Nigeria Football Federation General Secretary, as an irreparable loss.
Azeez told the Newsmen in Ilorin that news of Ogunjobi’s demise was a sad and unfortunate piece of news item to wake up to.
Newsmen reports that Ogunjobi, a former central defender for both the defunct IICC Shooting Stars FC of Ibadan and the then Green Eagles, passed on in the early hours of Monday.
The NRA president said Ogunjobi’s death, which occurred at the University College Hospital in Ibadan, was shocking to the football family.
He added that no one would have thought the ex-international would not be around for many years to come.
“It is an unfortunate thing that we woke up to the news of his death, because he was a person we thought would be around for about 20 to 30 years more.
“So, hearing about his demise is a shock to us all in the Nigerian football family.
“He has been in the football circle for a long time because he started as early as possible and he died as a football person,” Azeez said.
The NRA president described Ogunjobi, who went on to manage the Shooting Stars when it later became Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) as Sole Administrator, as a jovial and humorous person.
“He tried to make everyone around him happy,’’ he said.
Newsmen reports that Ogunjobi who was at a time member of the NFF Executive Committee was until his death Chairman of the Osun State Football Association.

The small claims limit will be increased in April 2019 and the reforms in the personal injury sector are continuing apace. Many practitioners expect that one effect of these reforms is an increase in Claimants acting as a litigant in person.
A Litigant in Person (LiP) is an individual, a company or organisation that has the right to address the Court (i.e. they are a party to an action), but are not represented by a solicitor or barrister.
The judiciary have issued a handbook for LiPs which is designed to help them navigate the civil justice system more effectively. This handbook is aimed at individuals, but can equally apply to companies or organisations who choose, for whatever reason, not to appoint external legal advisors.
The Law Society has also issued guidance to lawyers and clients who find themselves acting in a case against an LiP. It contains practical advice for lawyers on good practice across the Civil and Family Courts and Tribunals and the professional duties owed by lawyers to LiPs, whether they are opponents or not. Generally, the guidance is that lawyers should behave in a professional, cooperative and courteous manner at all times.
The question however still remains as to whether the courts apply the same standards of compliance on an LiP as on a qualified lawyer when it comes to the Civil Procedure Rules.
The Supreme Court took the opportunity to clarify the position when they gave their judgement in the case of Barton -v- Wright-Hassall. In that case, a litigant in person had served a Claim Form by email, but had not complied with the requisite requirements for doing so. He had left no time to rectify the error and his claim was therefore dead in the water.
A lawyer would have been expected to know the rules for service by email. On the facts of the case a lawyer would not expect to be granted any discretion by the Court which might waive this procedural error and its dire consequences. The question for the Supreme Court was whether a litigant in person should be given greater leniency in complying with the rules.
Lord Sumption noted that, for LiPs, "their lack of representation will often justify making allowances in making case management decisions and in conducting hearings. But it will not usually justify applying to litigants in person a lower standard of compliance with rules or orders of the Court".
The Supreme Court has therefore clarified that litigants in person will be expected to be familiar with the rules and that a different standard should not apply.
This is welcome guidance as the number of litigants in person is likely to increase and will be of considerable interest to any Defendants who find themselves operating in this field.
For more information about your duties when acting against Litigants in Person contact Elizabeth Johnson on 01392 334019.
Law firm Ashfords LLP is delighted to announce the appointment of Elizabeth Johnson as a fee-paid Judge of the First Tier Tribunal in the Social Entitlement Chamber, the first female Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx) practitioner to be appointed as a Judge.

Washington County Judge Randall Burnworth today heard arguments in the State of Ohio’s case against Dupont and Chemours over C8 pollution which allegedly harmed the state’s natural resources.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine filed the suit in February seeking damages from the corporations that profited from the use of PFOA or perfluorooctanoic acid (also known by the DuPont trade name C8) at Washington Works near Parkersburg, West Virginia.
The manmade industrial solvent was used at the plant beginning in the 1950s in the manufacture of Teflon and hundreds of other consumer applications. A class action filed on behalf of area water consumers in 2002 led to the discovery of the chemical in the drinking water of six neighboring communities – Lubeck and Mason County in West Virginia and Belpre, Little Hocking, Pomeroy, and Tuppers Plains/Chester in Ohio. The 2004 settlement of the same suit resulted in a massive health study of nearly 70,000 local residents and linked the contamination to six health conditions: testicular cancer, kidney cancer, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis, pre-eclampsia and high cholesterol.
In the most recent legal maneuvering corporate attorneys argued for a motion to dismiss saying that the claims against DuPont and spin-off company Chemours are without merit.
Judge Burnworth offered no specific timeline for his decision on Friday afternoon saying only that he would make a determination before the end of the year when he intends to retire.

Colton Haynes attends New York Premiere of Sony's ROUGH NIGHT After Party presented by SVEDKA Vodka at Diamond Horseshoe on June 12, 2017 in New York City.
Colton Haynes has joined the cast of American Horror Story Season 7.
Series creator Ryan Murphy announced Tuesday on Instagram that the 28-year-old actor will star in the FX show's new, election-themed season.
"Welcome to American Horror Story, Colton Haynes," he captioned a photo of Haynes with red lipstick smeared around his mouth.
'American Horror Story' Season 7 will be an about the presidential election, although Clinton and Donald Trump will not be featured as characters.
Haynes responded by re-posting the picture and sharing his excitement with his 6.2 million followers.
"American Horror Story Season 7...Already feels like home :) So excited @mrrpmurphy," he wrote on his own account.
Haynes joins returning stars Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Cheyenne Jackson and Adina Porter, and fellow newcomers Billie Lourd, Billy Eichner and Leslie Grossman. The season will take place in the wake of the 2016 presidential election.
"Horror Story is always about allegory, so the election is allegory. It's our jumping off point. It is about the election we just went through and what happened on that night and fallout of that night," Murphy told E! News in April.
"The first 10 minutes of the season, this season, takes place in a very eerie macabre way on election night and there's something terrible that happens in the lives of our characters on election night as they're watching it all go down," he added in a later interview.
American Horror Story Season 7 will premiere in September. Haynes, who is known for playing Jackson Whittemore on Teen Wolf and Roy Harper, aka Arsenal, on Arrow, is also slated for the film Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.

en. John Kelly is a hard man to refuse. So when Kelly, the incoming secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, asked Kirstjen Nielsen ’99 to become his chief of staff in January 2017, she had little alternative but to accept. Even though it meant selling the private consulting firm, Sunesis Consulting, she had founded and led for nearly five years.
Six months after Nielsen returned to a government role, Kelly resigned to become White House chief of staff and took Nielsen with him, again to serve as his top deputy. Within weeks, though, he persuaded President Donald Trump to name her as his successor at Homeland Security. The Senate confirmed her nomination Dec. 5. She is the second UVA Law graduate to serve in the role, following Janet Napolitano ’83, now president of the University of California.
Nielsen steps into one of the most important jobs in the federal government, responsible for a department employing more than 240,000 people and charged with a wide portfolio that includes thwarting terrorist attacks, securing the border, ensuring cybersecurity and responding to hurricanes and other natural disasters. She meets with Kelly daily and the president as often as four to five times a week, depending on events and her own heavy travel schedule. Its name notwithstanding, much of the business of the Department of Homeland Security involves working with agents and private businesses overseas, as well as with foreign governments.
Though she has worked in and out of government, Nielsen knew she wanted to pursue international relations from an early age. The daughter of two Army doctors (her father is of Danish heritage, her mother is Italian), Nielsen was born in Colorado Springs but grew up in Tampa, Florida, where she ran cross-country, served as student body president and was a midfielder on a district championship soccer team. Thinking that she might become a diplomat, Nielsen attended Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and studied abroad in Nagoya, Japan. She worked for former U.S. Sen. Connie Mack of Florida for two years before attending law school.
Nielsen still aimed for a career in international relations while at UVA (she proudly calls herself a “Hoya-Hoo,” after her alma maters’ nicknames). In addition to courses on constitutional, corporate and mass media law, Nielsen fondly recalled a seminar taught by professors David Martin and John Setear, “International Law and the Nobel Peace Prize,” which coincided with a 1998 conference of Nobel peace laureates hosted by the University. Nielsen wrote a paper on the International Court of Justice and its role in banning landmines for the class. “It was a unique way to learn about law and how it could be made and applied,” Nielsen said. She also participated in the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition and served on the University Judiciary Committee.
After spending two years as an associate with a Dallas law firm, Nielsen joined the George W. Bush administration, where she rose quickly. She established the Transportation Security Administration’s Office of Legislative Policy and Government Affairs, and also served as special assistant to the president and senior director for prevention, preparedness and response at the U.S. Homeland Security Council, a predecessor to the Cabinet department she now heads. Nielsen left the administration in 2007 and spent five years leading a homeland and national security policy practice at Civitas Group before starting her own firm in 2012.
Though it has been over 10 years since they last worked together, John Mitnick ’88, the new general counsel of the Department of Homeland Security, holds his boss, Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen ’99, in high esteem.
“She is extremely bright, a quick study, and pleasant and generous as a person,” Mitnick said.
The admiration is mutual. “John can digest information very quickly and he can be very clear, which is what you want in an attorney,” Nielsen said.
Mitnick moves to DHS from The Heritage Foundation, where he served as general counsel for four years. From 2007-13, he was the general counsel of a division of Raytheon, a major U.S. defense contractor. He holds two law degrees, including one from Oxford University that he earned in the midst of his years at UVA.
Mitnick has also dabbled in politics, running for Congress in 1996. A former partner at Atlanta’s Kilpatrick Stockton (now Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton) specializing in corporate work, he joined the Bush Justice Department just one week before the 9/11 attacks. When the Bush administration sought attorneys to staff what would become the Department of Homeland Security, Mitnick volunteered, turning his career in a new direction.
Mitnick and Nielsen are also serving with fellow alum Jonathan Hoffman ’02, assistant secretary for public affairs at the department.

There’s never quite been a hero in the MCU like Carol Danvers – she’s Captain Marvel, for crying out loud!
Imbued with superhuman strength, speed and flight thanks to a near-death accident, Brie Larson’s former Air Force pilot promises to bring something truly special to the lineup of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes – think old-school Captain America mixed with “sassy, smartass” humor – when she’s seen alongside the ensemble cast of Avengers 4 early next year.
Before then, however, Larson faces the tricky task of shouldering her own standalone superhero movie. We’re fairly confident that she’ll be able to accomplish the job with aplomb – she’s a tremendously talented actress, after all – but until we get an official look at her in action, all we’ve really got to go on are set pics. Thankfully, then, there’s been plenty of them, with the latest batch arriving today and showing off Larson doing some stunt work for a scene.
While the context of what’s going on here is unclear, it’s always nice getting another glimpse into the 2019 pic’s production, as there’s much buzz and excitement surrounding it at the moment. Much of that is due to its stellar cast, with Marvel’s final roll call for the spinoff including Nick Fury himself, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, Algenis Perez Soto, Rune Temte, McKenna Grace, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Clark Gregg (!) and Jude Law as Doctor Walter Lawson (Mar-Vell), a high-ranking Kree soldier who proves instrumental in Carol’s origin story.
It’s taken a long time – too long, perhaps – for Captain Marvel to receive the big-screen treatment, but after 10 years and 18 installments, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is finally ready to swing its doors open to Carol Danvers. And we couldn’t be more excited.
Look for the pic to open worldwide on March 8th, 2019 – long after the back-to-back release of Avengers: Infinity War and Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man and the Wasp, which has blazed its own path by adapting Ghost as a female villain. And a bloody powerful one at that.

Natural gas prices settled at a 10-year low of $2.15 per 1,000 cubic feet yesterday. Futures contracts continue to trade at the level today.
Increased drilling activity has led to a glut of supply. According to reports, there's enough gas in storage to meet the country's demands for over a month.
Morgan Stanley's analysts think inventories could remain at record levels through October. But they think prices could turn up year-end as supplies start to tighten.
Citi reiterates that sentiment in a new research report to clients. They write that pipeline restrictions for natural gas, which often come in autumn but have been accelerated due to the low prices and excess gas, were put in place "in part due to the fear that there might not be enough capacity to store gas for other customers, generally utilities, with firmly committed injection requirements." This could be bullish for prices.

Government officials and producers testify on areas where response has fallen short and ways to improve in future.
The United States is facing the largest animal health emergency in this country’s history with nearly 50 million birds depopulated because of the outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza. The worst of the outbreak seems to be behind the industry for the time being as government officials and industry members are taking steps to position the industry to avoid the catastrophic impact again this fall or next spring.
In a Senate Agriculture Committee hearing Tuesday afternoon, although changes have been made, initial outbreaks revealed troublesome practices and miscommunication throughout the outbreak response chain.
Dr. John Clifford, deputy administrator for the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, shared that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is looking to learn from some of its missteps that have played out over the past few months to improve upon in the event the virus returns.
“Every day, we are further refining our prevention, detection, and response based on the latest science and the lessons from this outbreak,” Clifford said in his opening comments.
Iowa turkey farmer Brad Moline, testifying on behalf of the National Turkey Federation, shared his avian influenza nightmare experience. He has seen two-thirds of his farm’s income wiped out with the loss of all 12 growing barns containing more than 56,000 turkeys.
On his farm, a presumptive positive occurred on Tuesday morning and the first contact with USDA wasn’t until Thursday and depopulation didn’t occur until Saturday. APHIS has since started depopulation much more quickly, recognizing the longer birds live the more virus production occurs.
Clifford said APHIS will be working with the American Veterinary Medical Assn. to evaluate quicker depopulation methods. One option may be to close up houses and turn off ventilators to heat up the house. Clifford said although some people have concerns with this approach, it is “probably one of the most humane ways” to doing it.
Clifford also said the miscommunication that has occurred as temporary staff has come in and then left should be alleviated by assigning one USDA liaison for each farm or facility that can be the go-to person for the entire length of time for that outbreak and the impact on that flock.
Clifford said industry members and partners have been encouraged to review their existing avian influenza response plans so they understand what USDA will expect and what actions will be needed should the disease strike.
Clifford said one of the biggest roadblocks seen in the Midwest to efficient depopulation - which is key to reducing the spread of the virus - is the lack of ready sites to receive and process dead birds. USDA has urged states and industry to develop site- and county-level specific depopulation plans for landfilling or composting birds.
Dr. David Swayne, laboratory director at the Agricultural Research Service’s Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory, said his lab is concentrating on assisting APHIS in its epidemiological studies and through that process plans to help companies to reestablish biosecurity strategies to reduce reentry of the virus back into farms.
Swayne said one of the challenges in biosecurity measures is that every individual farm has different risks. Each farm needs to do an assessment of all entry and exit points on that farm and establish critical control points. Some points that could be high risk include families that have multiple farms and share equipment across those farms. Manure spreaders for instance have a very high risk of transmitting the virus and may have previously been moving from one farm to another without proper cleaning.
Jim Dean, chairman of the United Egg Producers and an egg farmer from Sioux Center, Iowa, said his farm received a 100% score after going through USDA’s biosecurity program in March. Despite their apparent strong biosecurity measures their farm was still infected with the virus April 27. Dean said the more that can be determined on how the virus spreads, the better they can address the effectiveness of biosecurity. On his operation, they’re already looking to do more sanitation of vehicles and busing in employees to the barns.
Dean and Moline both said the education and improved communication on the disease is important in helping alleviate future impacts.
Tom Elam, president of FarmEcon, shared he estimates producer direct loss arising from destroyed turkey and egg production at about $1.57 billion, $530 million for turkeys and $1.04 billion for layers. The economy-wide loss for just destroyed production to date is conservatively estimated at nearly $3.3 billion.
Dean said about 36 million hens have been removed from the nation’s laying flock as a result of this disease, and an additional 5-6 million pullets – which are young birds that would have begun laying eggs in the near future – have also been lost. Even without additional cases, UEP and its customers are dealing with the loss of 12% of the U.S. egg-laying flock. He added just the portion of the flock that produces eggs for further processing – that is, breaking into products such as liquid whole egg or dried egg white that are used in food manufacturing and food service – the loss is closer to 30%.
Dean said this fall and next spring could bring more flare ups, but he’s optimistic the industry and government can do a better job moving forward and learn from mistakes to better address the disease outbreak.

Exterior design of home should be able to give a great first impression before entering the home. Especially in the night time, outdoor wall lighting play the most important role to welcoming your guest with a warm glow and inviting mood. Follow the tips below how to choose this exterior lighting before you start to purchase one.
Install a single lantern or wall lightning for the front door with fixtures that has 1/3 the height of the door.
For two lantern on either side of the front door use fixtures with 1/4 height of the door.
As well as like choosing the color scheme for interior, outdoor lighting fixtures’ colors also should complement the overall exterior color scheme and looks. For example, black will match perfectly with any kind of situations, while white lighting fixtures will stand out with dark painted-house with white trim. If you are looking for the earthy tones for natural like style, fixtures with bronze, black gold, black coral, or marbleized mahogany is the best option.
Different home has different architectural features, so your exterior lighting should follow it. For example, if your home has modern design, you can choose porch light. But, if your home has classic countryside style, lanterns is the perfect match. Choose the fixtures for front door firstly because the rest will follow it.
The normal mounting height of exterior lighting is about 66” above the threshold that mounted slightly above eye level on most houses. If you have a higher door height you should install the fixtures higher than 66”.
For outdoor lighting, the ideal wattage is 67-75 watts of incandescent light or 20 watts of compact fluorescent lighting per fixtures. If you use bigger wattage or brighter bulbs than the normal one, it will increase detract and glare from the fixtures, even worse in the home with clear glass. Wattage is the last consideration; instead you should focus more on the style and size of the fixtures.
The possible area to install the fixtures is including front door, garage doors, back doors, or deck/patio lighting. Front door is the first priority installing exterior lighting. For other areas such garage door and back door, you can choose a smaller fixtures than front doors. Install the fixtures on each side of the door that still complement the overall exterior styles. And for patio or deck, fixtures with 25-40 watts will give more comfortable and engaging lights to spend a night while enjoying a cup of coffee under the moonlight.
Not only impressing your guests, but outdoor wall lighting is the perfect match to light up your activity outside your house, especially in the summer night. Having a barbeque party or simply enjoying the sunset in your terrace, the perfect lighting can support any moment.

If fresh produce and other local products aren't enough to tempt you, you might want to check out Chef in the Market (Aug. 10 at the Perry Street Market), or stop by the Emerson-Garfield Market (located in the parking lot of the Institute for Extended Learning, 2310 N. Monroe) on June 16, July 14 and Aug. 11 for cooking demos (aimed toward those just beginning to build culinary skills or dipping a toe into market-to-table cooking, but open to everyone).
The Perry Street Thursday Market will host a food truck rally on June 22.
Kids in grades 4 and up can test their skills in a culinary challenge offered by the Spokane County Library District. Each team has 45 minutes with some secret ingredients to wow the judges. This event takes place at each of the 10 county library branches this summer; check out scld.org for details.

The Blackburn College Cross Country Teams were in action Saturday, October 31 in Hillsboro, Ill. for the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships. It was a cold, wet and windy day on a fast course which seen many of Blackburn’s runners record new personal best times.
The morning started with the women’s six kilometer (3.7 miles) race at 10:30 am. This is the first year Blackburn has had a full women’s team since the first season head coach Mark Hopping was at Blackburn in 2010. The team was led by junior Kaitlyn Pugh who beat her previous personal best by two and a half minutes. The team was rounded out by senior Allison Matt, senior Heidi Tyson, senior Sarah Collman and sophomore Makayla Grove. “For an inexperienced group of runners, the women ran extremely well and made me proud to be their coach,” said head coach Mark Hopping.
The men’s eight kilometer (five miles) race started at 11:20 am. The Beavers front four (sophomore Tim Lacy, freshman Jacob Thornton, senior Nathan Speckhart and sophomore Zach Felkel) all ran sub six-minute miles for the entirety of the race and were within 30 seconds of each other. Tim Lacy led the charge for Blackburn with a time of 28:30. Sophomore Noah Daum finished fifth for the Beavers, which rounded out the top five and the scoring for Blackburn. Sophomore Rob Wingerter, senior Colin Gowin and senior Nathan Wagner followed the top five in that order. The top five average time was 29:16 which is a 1:29 faster than last season’s 30:45. Coach Mark Hopping is excited about the future of the team as only one of the top five runners from this season closing race will be graduating this spring. “We have continued to improve our overall top five time this year and our 29:16 average is one of the best that Blackburn has seen in the past ten years,” said Hopping.
With the season coming to an end, Blackburn will be forced to say goodbye to their senior runners. Seniors on the women’s team are: Allison Matt, Sarah Collman, Heidi Tyson, Catherine Young and Elizabeth Meehan. The men’s seniors are Nathan Speckhart, Nathan Wagner, and Colin Gowin. “I’m going to deeply miss them, not just being members of this team, but also seeing them around campus. These seniors are part of our family and things aren’t the same when family members are missing,” said Mark Hopping.

Jet Grouting uses high velocity fluid jets to construct cemented soil of varying geometries in the ground. Keller leads the industry in providing jet grouting solutions since initially promoting the technology in the US over 30 years ago.
The ability of jet grouting is to construct soilcrete in limited spaces and around subsurface obstacles such as utilities, provides unique design flexibility. In any situation requiring control of groundwater or excavation of unstable soil (water-bearing or otherwise) jet grouting is often a preferred solution.
Keller is also strategically aligned with EOS Remediation, LLC and Chemical Grouting Co., Ltd. for the commercialization of the BioJetTM technology, a jet grouting systemfor environmental remediation in low-permeability (clays and silts) contaminated soil. One of the major benefits of the new technology is minimization of treatment time and the elimination of contaminant rebound, a common issue with previous approach.

The adaptation of John le Carre’s The Little Drummer Girl will not include scenes from an ancient site near Athens.
A television series adapting spy novelist John le Carre’s The Little Drummer Girl will not include scenes from an ancient site near Athens after a panel of archaeologists turned down an access request by the BBC and US-based cable network AMC.
Greece’s powerful Central Archaeological Council denied the one-day access request to the 2,500-year-old Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion next month, saying the site would be closed to visitors for too many hours and the production team would be too large.
The decision triggered a furious reaction from Greece’s government, which launched a campaign three days ago to attract film productions to the country with a series of incentives.
The government said overseas productions could be a key growth area in the country, which is emerging from eight years of crippling financial crisis.
“We have declared that Greece is now film-friendly. A few days later, another institution is contradicting this, not us but the hopes and ambitions of artists, technicians and thousands of professionals that are a part of this industry. It is an international embarrassment,” Lefteris Kretsos, general secretary at the government’s media and communication department, said.
The decision, he said, “once again highlights the issues we have as a country”.
Filming at Greek archaeological sites, whether for commercial productions or news reporting, requires a permit from archaeologists that is often near impossible and very costly to obtain.
The six-part series is due for global release next year and stars Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgard and Britain’s Florence Pugh, while South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook will make his television debut with the project.
In the 1983 novel, an Israeli spy chief hunts a Palestinian bomber around Europe, recruiting a young English actress to try to expose him.
Ten of Le Carre’s novels have been adapted for films.
His work is also widely known from the BBC TV series Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley’s People, starring Sir Alec Guinness as Cold War intelligence officer George Smiley.

Engine swaps are a common fantasy for gearheads, but this particular alliance is something few outside of a padded room would have ever considered.
The Triumph TR6 has a classic British roadster shape. Its '60s styling looks totally perfect today. But being a '60s British roadster, it isn't that powerful and isn't that reliable.
Crafty engineers at the Southern California shop Schraders Speed and Style thought of a way to modernize the engine with some Japanese knowhow. This 1969 TR6 is British on the outside, but has the innards of a few Nissans.
A 2.5-liter RB25DET turbocharged straight six from a Skyline was wedged in where the old British six, with about 100-ish horsepower, went. Schraders' guys estimate 380 crank horsepower from their creation. The rear suspension comes from Nissan too, as an Infiniti Q45 donated a center section and a limited-slip diff. The blurb from the Schraders website said the owner brought the TR6 to them in 2005 and wanted to slip an LS1 in it. That would have been bonkers but predictable.
Inside, there's a custom metal dashboard that looks absolutely wicked and satellite navigation. They say basically everything but the body is new. Which means there's a good chance it's put together better than it was in 1969.
The buy-it-now eBay listing ended Thursday with no takers for the TR6. It might have something to do with the $32,000 asking price – TR6s, really nice ones at that, go for far less. Still, this digitally remastered British roadster has the good looks and the high probability of starting every time you turn the key. And it's so much cooler than a Miata.

In last week’s post, I mentioned a couple of tips to help newbies stick to their fitness routine. I recognize, however, that a couple of sentences just won’t cut it. Starting on a fitness journey is a massive endeavor. There are new habits to create and facts to learn regarding nutrition. Because of this, I am detailing below the tactics I have utilized to stick to a fitness and nutrition routine.
When beginning a fitness routine, the main struggle is often connected to a lack of motivation or desire to actually exercise. Finding a style of exercise that you truly enjoy and can look forward to is the best way to combat that. For me, that has been weightlifting and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). For you, it might be running, yoga, or power lifting.
If you’re not sure which type of exercise is the best for you, take various classes at your gym. If you’re interested in a certain style of exercise but don’t want to commit to a membership, smaller gyms and boutiques tend to offer a free or reduced-rate trial. Martial arts gyms tend to have a free class or week, and I was able to get a discounted month-long trial to a Bikram Yoga gym via Groupon.
This may very well be key, especially when excitement fades or work-life becomes a little too hectic. Make sure to schedule your workout when you will have minimal distractions and excuses.
Eventually, exercise will become second nature and not making it to the gym simply isn’t an option. Getting to that point, however, takes time. You might have schedule your workouts first thing in the morning or during your lunch break.
I can tell you from personal experience that the amount of exercise you do will not counteract the food you choose to eat. Given that our daily lives can get the better of us, it is imperative to grocery shop so that healthy items fill your home, and have enough tupperware to prep all of the meals.
In fact, meal prepping for the week or next couple of days is a great way to save time, allowing you to have more time to get things done or simply relax.
The right apps could help you stay motivated and further enjoy the process. My favorite is Fitbit. The accompanying watch tracks my steps, showing me how active I am throughout the day.The water tracking feature makes the app, though. It’s visual and has a cute design with empty cups that fill up as you drink more water throughout the day. It makes getting enough water in more of a game.
Sometimes it feels like you haven’t made any progress, and being able to check your Fitbit app or MyFitnessPal will show you how far you’ve come. Tracking meals is also a great way to learn about portion control and to find out how much you really are eating.
Ultimately, everyone’s relationship with fitness and health is different. This is what has worked for me.
What keeps you consistent with your workout plan?
Great tips! I got so excited about working out when I first turned my life around I actually became a personal trainer. It can be an addictive lifestyle.
I don’t do it for a living. I did it mainly for my own personal development. NASM gave me a military discount so I figured why not? I did work at Anytime Fitness part time for a bit.

The Venturing Ranger Award is the highest outdoor skills award offered by the BSA. High adventure and the outdoors have always been of interest to young Americans as well as an important part of the BSA program. Because of the attraction of high adventure, the Ranger Award is available to all Venturing youth members of the Boy Scouts of America.
The purpose of the award is to encourage Venturers to achieve a high level of outdoor skills proficiency; recognize achievement of this high level of outdoor skills proficiency; provide a path for outdoor/high-adventure skills training; and establish Rangers as a highly trained leadership resource for crews, Cub Scouts, Scouts, and the community.
The Ranger Award exemplifies a challenging high-level outdoor/high-adventure skills advancement program. Once earned, it will identify a Ranger as a person who is highly skilled at a variety of outdoor sports and interests, trained in outdoor safety, and ready to lead or assist others in activities. Rangers can be a great program asset to Cub Scout packs, Scout troops, and others.
The Award medal is pinned immediately above the seam of the left pocket, Ranger bar (pin) is centered on left pocket flap, the Ranger bar (cloth) may be alternately used to avoid pin backing.
After completion of the Ranger Award, this award may be awarded at a crew recognition ceremony (similar to a Scout Court of Honor), organized by the youth Vice President - Administration.
The first Ranger Medal was issued between 1946 and 1949 as part of the BSA's Explorer Program. The Ranger Award was re-introduced by the BSA in 1998 as part of the new Venturing program.
Ranger candidates can earn requirements. They can work on their own or with other Venturers. A crew may also work together. Candidates can work with outside consultants such as a scuba diving instructor, for instance. Advisors and consultants must sign a Ranger candidate's record sheet found in the Venturer/Ranger Handbook, No 33494C.

You promoted him for that?
Considering what has transpired from it? Yes, actually.
Additionally, there was already enough tension that it was only a matter of time. He just sped up the process.

I keep explaining to people how they can harness the traffic on here to their advantage!!!!
Let's hope i get some BMW shares. They seem to be doing good. I was gonna invest the £1 deposit, but it wouldn't let me. Plus bmw make some nice cars.
How long did you wait? It's not instant and only happens when the markets are open.
Do you trade regularly bobcat?
Consider this bandwagon jumped on! I used your link Adam.
I did all the ID verification/KYC requirements via their chat box; most efficient.
Giving this a go too (always been put off trading due to fees so will be interesting to see how this works out).
Signed up with your link @InItForTheMoney - I deposited £2 on the off chance it gives a better share so let's see! Not been asked to send verification yet so not sure I'm all set up yet.
woop! I dab in and out occasionally!
Hey! so for everytime someone joins using our link we get a free share or is it a one off sort of thing?
At the moment everyone who joins using your link will get you a random free share!
It will probably turn up Monday when trading starts again.
I'm also still waiting on my free share but assume it'll be when market opens again next week.
In the meantime, I'm having a look around the platform. Anyone actually intending to use this? Have you found a good tutorial on the dashboard - I'm finding it a bit confusing to navigate - e.g. how do I add an instrument/company to my favourites?
Figured out how to add to your favourites. Not finding it the easiest platform but I'm sure it'll come in time.
Do you want to get a free stock share worth up to £100?
Create a Trading 212 Invest account using this link www.trading212.com/ref/3ifsTVX and we both get a free share!
It is massively confusing because they aim it at traders and don't provide any of the hand holding or information that the bigger stock brokers use. Now I've got my head around it I'm doing all my research on other sites and just using trading212 to do the actual buying and hold my shares, to take advantage of their no commission. Being able to trade European and US shares is a big bonus too.
Do I want to give this a go?
Would anyone do this LONG TERM?
Yes, although the whole brexit thing could make things a bit wobbly in the short term.
Totally bamboozled by it all though.
Here's my link if anyone fancying giving it a go too.
Create a Trading 212 Invest account using this link www.trading212.com/ref/3ibLAXc and we both get a free share!
REALLY stupid question but is income from trading TAX FREE since it is effectively gambling?

Cyberpunk 2077 has a “full destruction system.” A hands-off press demo at E3 2018 revealed that the game will have a destruction system that will likely have a strong tie to one of the game’s weapon classes.
Between Cyberpunk, Fallout, and now even The Elder Scrolls VI, there is plenty of competition for our list of the best RPGs.
That job title (via SegmentNext) suggested as long ago as last summer that there would be destruction in the upcoming sci-fi RPG, but this is the first official confirmation from CDPR. It had already been hinted at at E3 though, as Cyberpunk 2077’s weapons include a ‘tech’ class that can shoot through walls (as well as NPCs who don’t get out of the way in time).
We don’t know the Cyberpunk 2077 release date just yet – I don’t imagine we’ll see it until the second half of 2019, but we should learn more from CDPR at some point soon.

There are few things more disconcerting, annoying, and perhaps even unsafe than getting turned around in a strange city. So don't let a stroll to the art museum end up in a misguided tour of skid row. A new generation of mapping and directions sites can help you figure out walking and public transit routes, create your own tour maps, and more.
At CommunityWalk (www.communitywalk.com) you can produce your own Google mashup maps by importing an Excel spreadsheet. Your creation could be anything from simple location markers of stores and restaurants to detailed landmark guides with photos and audio. You can easily trace out and share your own walking tours or find ones that other people have created. This is a great way to either map out your trip or share your sightseeing adventure once you've returned.
HopStop (www.hopstop.com) is a great public transport resource for visitors to New York City, Boston, Chicago, Washington, and San Francisco. (Beta versions covering the New York metro area are also there.) Just type in your starting point and destination and it retrieves a train, bus, subway, or pedestrian route, with an approximate time for the journey. You can even specify whether you want directions based on either more transfers or more walking. HopStop is also compatible with cell-phone Web browsers or SMS, and you can call HopStop's toll-free number for voice directions.
Want to know how walkable a city is before you go? Walk Score (www.walkscore.com) creates a walkability scale from 0 to 100, based on the distance to locations such as grocery stores, restaurants, movie theaters, and parks. It works well for finding a walkable place to live, or for just discovering new places around your home city.

Not without me I hope!
Great time. Lots of horsing around and jokes! Very, very funny group of people (except when Thaed went on-and-on-and-on about his job ).
Very bad pictures, good god, do I really look like that?
Where's the barman? Has he checked in yet?
So, I'll see you all at New Year's, right???
Yep, there sure was lots of "horsing" around wasn't there?
Glad you guys had fun, sorry I missed it.
I think I'll start some rumors though.
No need TB - we did plenty of that last night!
It was room 232? NOT 323?
No wonder I ended up in the room with the old guy with the BAD toupee! Not that I'm complaining or anything.
Remember guys. WHIPBSIPB. Geez, that's a bit hard to pronounce.
No. Just followed all the noise.
I agree with all of you. Last night was awesome!!! I had a fantastic time and can't wait until the next meet.
It was really terrific to meet Thaed and Mrs. J. It was also great to see Buster, Tracey, Joules & Eddy again.
Let me know, & I'll add you to the reservation!
I'm heading for the airport right now.
Sorry I missed it - would have loved to meet everyone and it looks like you had a lot of fun. But my handyman showed up around 4:30 to start on some post-hurricane repairs.
We were wondering if the surprise mystery guest would show up. Too bad you could not make it.
I am sorry I missed it also... but hopefully it won't be too long before I make it down there. Hopefully some of you folks will be up for another get-together.
We were in the North GA mountains this weekend. It was beautiful.
FYI - our bartender did in fact check out TCF. However, for some odd reason he posted in the Boston meets thread instead of here. He also said the pictures were cute (though, somehow, he didn't notice that none of us were in them!).
I think he is probably wondering who went home with who?!
Edit to add: I don't think that is the guy - the name of the bar we went to was something else.
Speaking of that, didn't you guys leave and drive in the exact opposite direction of where you live? Maybe you all circled back to the hotel? Hmmmmm.
Tracey, I'm sure it's him. He mentioned Manalapan. This is the real name of the city that the Ritz is located in (Manalapan is part of Palm Beach actually). Also, he said his wife's name is Lise and that's part of his username.
Well - what do I know anyway!!! It sure is weird that he thought we were the same bunch as in those pictures and to you for remembering all those details!
Oddly enough Johlise appears to have logged back in this morning. Maybe someone should send him a PM directing him to the correct thread.
I thought your wife's name was Tracey?
What!!! Does he have another girlfriend now!!
Mini-meet: Palm Beach Saturday Evening 11/5/2005.

The leaves are falling and pumpkin-flavored goodies abound. Autumn is here, but for many online retailers, it signals that the holiday shopping season is upon us. And what a season it will be!
According to a recent article in Internet Retailer, a double-digit increase is predicted for online holiday retail sales and mail orders from 2013. Deloitte is projecting a 13.5-14 percent increase and eMarketer forecasting 16.6 percent growth. In addition to the purchases completed online, over half of all in-store purchases will be influenced by “digital interactions,” as defined as customers engaging with your brand across multiple channels and devices, including desktop, mobile, tablets and more.
With cross-channel marketing execution becoming expected by the customer, here are some tips to have a very fruit(cake)ful and digitally-sound holiday retail season.
Traditionally, the shoppers have turned out in droves for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but the emerging trend is “Gray Friday.” Many retailers have been launching their online deals and promotions throughout the whole month of November, and for good reason. A number of shoppers (up to 29 percent, according to a Google Consumer Survey) start their holiday shopping before Halloween. However, don’t think that all shoppers are turning into early birds. Most (48 percent) will still begin their shopping in early December. In 2013, over 47 percent of online adults (95 million people) made an online purchase during the month of December.
What does this mean for the modern digital marketer? Keep engaging your customers through your online channels throughout the entirety of the holiday season, but employ tactics like exclusion targeting to stay connected to your customers. Segment your customer data to ensure your promotions are relevant to both your earlybird and your procrastinator.
As digital retailers know well, it’s a cross-channel, multi-device world. The mobile shopping stats continue to grow at an astounding rate. December sales on smartphones and tablets have tripled from 2011, now up to 19.1 percent and expected to increase more for 2014 (Google). 37 percent of visits to the top retail sites come from smartphones or tablets and 83 percent of cell phone owners engage in shopping-related activities from their phone immediately before, during, or after visiting a store (Experian, 2014).
How can top retailers make the most of these mobile customer habits? By creating a seamless customer experiences through all devices.
Email made for mobile: Email is still the king of marketing channels, with 91 percent of all retailers sending offers via email (Experian, 2014). Make sure it’s mobile-responsive and test for various email clients when sending out those holiday promotions.
Send promotions in real-time while they are in-store: For those 83 percent of customers interacting with their devices before, during, and after the store, shoot them offers and promotions in real-time using beacon technology. The recent Apple iBeacon iOS 8 updates have greatly improved the potential for retailers to take advantage of this significant opportunity.
Create a holistic view of the customer across devices: With all of the interactions with your brand across the full range of mobile devices, it’s imperative for a retailer to develop a holistic view of the customer. Break down the silos by collecting and connecting your customer data to send them the most up-to-date and relevant holiday promotions. Learn how to do that here.
With website traffic rates soaring during the holiday season, it is crucial to ensure the health and well-being of the heart of your online retail world: your website. Many organizations implement a code freeze, meaning that no major changes will be made to the source code during the holiday season to reduce the risk of unintended consequences during this peak time of year. To stay agile and continuing to test campaigns, the best organizations have tag management systems (TMSs) in place to allow them to make these changes without interrupting the code freeze.
Maximize Site Performance: To optimize page performance during this important time for traffic on your site, consider mandating third party vendors go Server-Direct if available.
Focus on active campaigns: For internal preparation, deactivate tags that are not tied to an active media campaign.
Minimize mobile tag fires: Only fire absolutely necessary tags on mobile sites during the peak season. It’s a best practice to have fewer tags fire in a mobile environment than on desktop environments.
The holiday season can be a challenge for retailers, especially as customer behaviors change as rapidly as the items on your niece’s Santa wish-list. But it’s also the biggest opportunity of the year to engage with customers and set the stage for not only the holidays but next year as well. Follow these insights and tips and you’ll ensure that your customers’ stockings will be full this holiday season.
