DYESS, Ark. (AP) — Money and memorabilia from Johnny Cash's family and friends have helped historians restore a significant part of the Historic Dyess Colony, a government collective built to pull Depression-era families out of poverty.
The country music icon's boyhood home, along with the colony's former headquarters, will open Saturday to reflect everyday life in a northeast Arkansas community built on once-sunken land.
"Restoring the Dyess Colony Administration Building, and even saving at least one of the typical colony houses, would have been a worthwhile project, even without the Johnny Cash connection," said Ruth Hawkins , the executive director of the Heritage Sites program at Arkansas State University.
Before he was the Man in Black, he was J.R. Cash , a son of Kingsland, Arkansas, farmers who successfully applied to take part in a 1930s Works Progress Administration experiment. The federal government brought in 487 families and gave them land and a mule.
"This was a practice in socialism," said Roscoe Phillips , who was born at Dyess 77 years ago. "They took people who had nothing and gave us something. It wouldn't happen today."
A restored five-room house northwest of town holds items that belonged to the singer's parents — a shaving mug in the bathroom and an upright piano atop red linoleum in the living room. J.R. shared a bedroom at the front of the house with three siblings. Although there was a toilet and bathtub, the home never had running water. Electrical service arrived in 1945.
At the museum back in town, Cash's 1950 Dyess High School yearbook, given to his daughter Rosanne in 2000, rests in a special wing dedicated to the singer and his family.
"It's been one of my most prized possessions. It's yours. Merry Christmas," Cash wrote to Rosanne on personal stationery with "Johnny Cash" scratched out and "Dad" written in.
Without Cash's fame, it'd be a lot tougher to save places like the Dyess Colony, one of nearly 100 proposed resettlement sites nationwide. Arkansas State used the same principle in 1999 when it restored Ernest Hemingway's writing studio in Piggott, 50 miles north. He worked there while married to Pauline Pfeiffer , the daughter of a prominent family.
The government cleared 2 acres to put up a house, a barn, a chicken coop and outhouse, then it was up to residents to clear the rest of the land, grow a crop and begin paying on a mortgage. Cash's father Ray signed his contract in February 1938 — for $2,183.60.
Stories about hard times here landed in some of Cash's songs and also Rosanne Cash's "The Sunken Lands."
"I particularly had my grandmother Carrie Cash in mind all through the restoration process, and while writing 'The Sunken Lands,' about her and this very area," Rosanne Cash wrote. "I wanted my children to know their lineage and that their great-grandparents worked harder to make a good life for their children and all their descendants than anyone could possibly imagine."
At its peak, the town had more than 2,500 residents. Now, its population is less than 500, said Larry Sims , the town's mayor. "There was no reason to come back when you could go to Jonesboro and have all the convenience you needed," he said.
"My dad's mother saved everything. I had the original paperwork from when they were accepted to come to Dyess," said Russell Clifton , who now lives north of Detroit.

The new Governor and all of the Legislators took their oath of office in early January. The Legislators have submitted their bills and the different committees are busy working on the proposed bills and holding public hearings. The beginning of February the Governor will present his budget to the General Assembly. Connecticut, like most other states, is experiencing a budget crisis. We will be watching to see what Governor Malloy proposes for any new taxes or budget cuts.
One of the proposals that has already been presented is the banning of the outdoor wood burning furnaces. At the last Connecticut State Grange convention the delegates voted to oppose the banning of these furnaces. It was felt that existing regulations were adequate. The proposed bill last year would have banned their use from April 15th until October 15th. The bill died in the General Assembly’s Environment Committee and never reached the floor. The present chairman of the Environment Committee, Senator Edward Meyer, D-Guilford, is submitting a bill to ban all outdoor furnaces except for use on farms and in farmhouses. He states as his reason that the furnaces do not have good air quality. This ban would not apply to outdoor fire pits, wood-fired barbecues or ‘chimineas’.
Presently there are at least 14 towns in Connecticut which have already banned these furnaces within their towns. It has been noted that wood smoke contains some elements that cause cancer. Some smoke soot particles are small enough to enter a person’s lungs and can lead to serious respiratory problems.
Outdoor wood furnaces are not regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) but the EPA is working with manufacturers on a voluntary program to produce cleaner wood burning furnaces. Connecticut regulations state that these furnaces: 1. Must be installed at least 200 feet from the nearest neighboring home, 2. Have a chimney shorter than 55 feet but at least as tall as neighboring roof peaks within 500 feet of the furnace, 3. Must burn only wood that had not been chemically treated, and 4. Are installed and operated according to manufacturers guidelines. Another regulation for the wood burning furnaces is through smoke opacity (density). Connecticut’s opacity limit is an average of 20% during six consecutive minutes or 40% average for one minute.
Another project that the Legislature is in the midst of, is the redistricting of all the Legislative districts. Every ten years, after the Census has been completed, its data is reviewed and political boundaries are redrawn. The last time this happened Connecticut had lost enough population that we lost one federal congressional seat. This should not happen this time. However, local legislative districts will be reviewed and adjusted according to population changes. The Senate president pro-tem, the speaker of the House and the majority party of both assembly chambers each appoint two members to the Reapportionment Committee. This committee will draw up redistricting plans for both the state House and Senate as well as Congressional seats. Their plan is presented to the General Assembly and it must be approved by two thirds of the members of both chambers before Sept. 15th. If this is not completed by then, the Governor will appoint an eight person committee which will then appoint a 9th member. They will draw the boundaries and present them to the Secretary of the State by Nov. 30.
As you can imagine there is a lot of political wrangling going on within this committee to keep the districts that they hold as Democratic or Republican territories.

This chimes with what Samsung said in its official press release, but we were also told that this was subject to change. So we may be getting it earlier in the month, or perhaps later.
The dual-core Android 2.3 Gingerbread phone comes with a 3.8-inch screen with a 800×480 (WVGA) resolution, a 5-megapixel camera with flash and autofocus and 4GB of internal storage.
An update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich seems unlikely at this stage in the game, but we wouldn’t rule it out. There’s a VGA front-facing camera so you’d be able to have fun with the Face Unlock function and there’s also an NFC chip, so you’d be able to tap to share contacts and files using Android Beam.
As we said, price info wasn’t forthcoming from O2 but we’d expect to see the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 on circa £30 24 month deals. We’ll update when we know more.

Happy mother's day out there to all the moms, step-moms, foster moms, grandmothers, mentors, aunties, guardians and moms of fur babies! It's my second Mother's Day as a mom (to a human child) and what an incredible journey it has been so far! When they say that becoming a parent is like having your heart walk around outside of your body, they are right! I'm as proud and joyful of Rudy's triumphs as if they were my own, and I feel the sting of her pain even more sharply than my own. Motherhood has given me both the greatest courage and the greatest vulnerability of my life.
To those who celebrate Mother's Day: Are you doing anything special? This is my busy time of year so we probably won't do much. I am working all day and both my mother and mother-in-law understand the deal and know we'll make plans when I slow down a little.
Right now, all my non-work time goes to my family and that means spending time with Corey and Rudy. Life with a toddler can be so overwhelming and Corey and I have felt like we've been treading water lately. Sometimes I think of the other parents who either parent alone or face far more difficult challenges than we do and my heart aches for them. I marvel at how strong some people are.
Last year, Corey gave me a sweet pair of earrings for my first Mother's Day. This year, I truly feel as though I have everything I need so I asked him to help another mother in my honour. Corey's donation helped to fund outings and craft supplies at SickKids in order to help a child who is in hospital show appreciation for their mother and spend some quality time with them today. I know how much I looked forward to the Mother's Day craft that Rudy brought home from school on Friday and it was the sweetest gift to know that someone who is fighting a much harder motherhood battle may have a chance at a "normal" Mother's Day thanks to Corey's gift.
Finally, today I am thankful for the amazing little girl who made me a mom. She is rough and tumble but also sweet and sharing. She has a fantastic sense of humour and adventure. She is far more fearless than I ever was and she has made the past year and a half so SO joyful!
For past Mother's Day posts, check out this one and this one.

A Department for Transport report has revealed that almost twice as many motorists in England and Scotland were seen using a hand-held device while behind the wheel of a van compared to those spied in a car.
The figures show in 2014, 1.1% of drivers were observed holding a phone in their hand with a further 0.5% observed holding the phone to their ear – this equates to more than 470,000 motorists.
A higher proportion of drivers were observed using a hand-held mobile phone when stationary (2.3%) than in moving traffic (1.6 per cent).

I just love being a Purex Insider! It means I get to try some of the new products Purex comes out with. While Purex has always been a laundry staple in my home, what really gets me excited is when laundry products that work also do it with great scent!
So I was super-excited to try new Purex Crystals ScentSplash, now in liquid form. The Fresh Spring Waters scent was just what the aromatherapy doctor ordered!
I've been using Purex Crystals for years now and love how my laundry smells. The fragrance and freshness seem to linger for days. I can put a stack of freshly-laundered towels in the bathroom and they will fill the room with delicate scent for a long time. Subtle, not overwhelming, just there. And that's nice to know when I have company coming over. I don't have to worry about...er...unpleasant odor in the bathroom. Purex Crystals added to the towels washload infuses them with gentle fragrance that lasts and lasts.
And now new Purex Crystals ScentSplash is becoming my favorite of all! That delicate scent just got amped up a notch or two! And because it's in liquid form, you can add as little or as much as you like. You can get up to 35% more washloads than 18oz. Purex solid Crystals. Laundry day is no longer the chore it used to be. Now it's like a mini-vacation, a spa retreat, an aromatherapy session.
It lifts my mood. And it just smells so darn wonderful!
Fragrance is one of the things I love in life. I love a clean smell, like cotton sheets sun-dried on a clothesline for example, but I also love smells that delight the senses. I use scented candles, wax melts, room sprays, etc. just because I love being surrounded by pleasant scents. And that extends to laundry. Using Purex Crystals ScentSplash is one more way I can add wonderful aromas to my home.
It works not just on towels but on intimate apparel as well. What a nice surprise to open my underwear drawer and find that wonderful scent still lingering days after I've done laundry! And my closet now greets me with a nice fragrance every time I open the closet door. I can't say enough about Crystals ScentSplash. It is perfect for me. Not too heavy, not too light, just right.
Try new Purex Crystals ScentSplash. It might be just right for you too!
Purex Crystals ScentSplash is now available in 3 fragrances: Fresh Spring Waters, Fresh Lavender Blossom, and Fresh Mountain Breeze. You're sure to find the perfect fragrance for your home laundry needs.

It may seem like a rare thing for a girl to pick up a skateboard, but in this day and age many girls and young women are tearing up skate parks. Girls have been breaking into Women’s Skateboarding competitions at the XGames, posing for pictures and taking on partnerships with skateboard companies like Vans, and so much more.
Even though all this amazing, positive change is taking place, there is still some work to be done when it comes to equal footing with male skateboarders. Up until 2006, male skateboarders received more prize money (Vice Sports) and women’s skateboarding wasn’t televised until 2002.
Women’s skateboarding is still on the up and up, and it can only get better from here. With support groups, media representation, and encouragement, any girl will be able to try out a skateboard- and hopefully continue to roll.

Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose which serves as a reservoir of glucose units. The two largest deposits in mammals are in the liver and skeletal muscle but many cells are capable synthesizing glycogen. Its accumulation and utilization are under elaborate controls involving primarily covalent phosphorylation and allosteric ligand binding. Both muscle and liver glycogen reserves are important for whole body glucose metabolism and their replenishment is linked hormonally to nutritional status. Control differs between muscle and liver in part due to the existence of different tissue-specific isoforms at key steps. Control of synthesis is shared between transport into the muscle and the step catalyzed by glycogen synthase. Breakdown of liver glycogen, as part of blood glucose homeostasis, is also in response to nutritional cues. Muscle glycogen serves only to fuel muscular activity and its utilization is controlled by muscle contraction and by catecholamines. Though the number of enzymes directly involved in the metabolism of glycogen is quite small, many more proteins act indirectly in a regulatory capacity. Defects in the basic metabolizing enzymes lead to severe consequences whereas, with some exceptions, mutations in the regulatory proteins appear to cause a more subtle phenotypic change.

In 1987, Blessed John Paul II wrote his encyclical letter entitled "Mother of the Redeemer: On the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Life of the Pilgrim Church." It contains a wonderful summary of the teaching of the Church on the meaning, mystery and gift of Mary in the Plan of Salvation. It proceeds through the Scripture, the Sacred Tradition, the Church Councils, and the Magisterial teachings of the Church. The Holy father wrote: "With good reason, then, at the end of this Millennium, we Christians who know that the providential plan of the Most Holy Trinity is the central reality of Revelation and of faith feel the need to emphasize the unique presence of the Mother of Christ in history, especially during these last years leading up to the year 2000.
"The Second Vatican Council prepares us for this by presenting in its teaching the Mother of God in the mystery of Christ and of the Church. If it is true, as the Council itself proclaims, that 'only in the mystery of the Incarnate Word does the mystery of man take on light,' then this principle must be applied in a very particular way to that exceptional "daughter of the human race," that extraordinary "woman" who became the Mother of Christ. Only in the mystery of Christ is her mystery fully made clear. Thus has the Church sought to interpret it from the very beginning: the mystery of the Incarnation has enabled her to penetrate and to make ever clearer the mystery of the Mother of the Incarnate Word.
"The Council of Ephesus (431 AD) was of decisive importance in clarifying this, for during that Council, to the great joy of Christians, the truth of the divine motherhood of Mary was solemnly confirmed as a truth of the Church's faith.
Mary is the Mother of God (= TheotĂłkos), since by the power of the Holy Spirit she conceived in her virginal womb and brought into the world Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who is of one being with the Father. "The Son of God...born of the Virgin Mary...has truly been made one of us," has been made man.
"Thus, through the mystery of Christ, on the horizon of the Church's faith there shines in its fullness the mystery of his Mother. In turn, the dogma of the divine motherhood of Mary was for the Council of Ephesus and is for the Church like a seal upon the dogma of the Incarnation, in which the Word truly assumes human nature into the unity of his person, without cancelling out that nature."
The first four ecumenical Councils of the Church confirmed and defined Christian belief about the nature of God and the meaning of the Incarnation, saving life, death, ascension and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Council pronouncements concerning Mary were made in reference to defending the truths about Jesus Christ and God's plan of salvation for the entire human race. That plan included, and still includes, the Mother of God.
The Catechism, in keeping with the unbroken tradition of the Church, makes the inseparable connection or link between the humanity of Jesus and the humanity of his Mother, as did Blessed John Paul in his encyclical letter cited above. The first four Councils of the Church, which are almost universally accepted among the broader Christian community even beyond the full communion of the Catholic Church, did the same. St. Gregory the Great (540-604 AD) once affirmed "I confess that I accept and reverence the four Councils as I do the four Gospels...for they are founded on universal consent."
The Councils affirmed the core of the Christian claim about who Jesus is and thus, who we can become in Him. The Council of Nicaea in 325 AD contended with a priest of Alexandria named Arius who taught that the Word or Son of God (who "became flesh and dwelt among us" as Jesus - Jn 1:14) was not God. Misusing passages in John's Gospel (14:28) where Jesus proclaimed "the Father is greater than I" Arius denied that the Word of God, was eternal. The bishops at Nicaea considered all the texts of the Gospels (such as Jn 10:30: "I and the Father are one") under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and declared that Arius was in error. The Son or Word of God is God (see Jn 1:1) and always existed. This was memorialized in the Nicene Creed. They used a Greek word homoousios, which meant that the Word or Son is of the same "being" as God the Father. If the Father is God, so is the Son.
The struggle continued for fifty more years before the First Council of Constantinople (381 AD) reaffirmed the creed of Nicaea. This ecumenical council also felt it necessary to affirm the divinity of the Holy Spirit, the "Lord and Giver of Life" who with the Father and the Son "is worshipped and glorified" and that phrase was added to the Nicene Creed. In the fifth century there were two more councils that addressed questions about Jesus. In the early 5th century a prominent bishop, Nestorius, rejected the title "theotokos" or "God-bearer" as a proper term for Mary.
Christians had always affirmed that the mother of Jesus could rightly be called the "Mother of God" or "God-bearer" because the Gospels teach that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit in Mary. Mary's consent, her "Fiat" to the message of the Angel Gabriel (see Lk 1:26-38) was an essential element of the faith of the early Church, a model for all Christians. She was viewed as the "Second Eve" whose "Yes" untied the knot caused by Eve's "No".
A Bishop named Nestorius objected to the title of Theotokos, Mother of God or God Bearer for Mary. The Council of Ephesus met in 431AD and affirmed Mary was the "Mother of God" because she is the mother of God in his human nature which, because of the Incarnation, could not be separated from the divine nature. The Council also affirmed that Mary's exercise of her human freedom, her assent, was a significant part of the plan of salvation, giving to the Incarnate Word, Jesus, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, his true and full humanity. When God the Holy Spirit "overshadowed" Mary the child born to her was truly God, the Son or Word of God (Lk 1:30-35).
After this Council, a monk, Eutyches claimed that before Jesus took flesh in Mary but that there were two "natures" - a divine and a human nature. After the union of the two natures in Mary's womb, only one nature was left in Jesus - the divine nature. Eutyches essentially proposed that the divine nature swallowed up the humanity of Jesus. So Jesus only took on human appearance. The Cappadocian father, Gregory of Nazianzus, once proclaimed "whatever was not assumed was not healed". In that we understand the danger of the denial of the sacred humanity of Jesus. Redemption would not be complete.
The Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD dealt with this threat to the meaning and implications of the Incarnation of the Word of God. The creed of the Council of Chalcedon declared that Jesus Christ is one person who exists "in two natures" - a divine nature and a human nature - which are neither confused ("blended together" into a third nature) nor divided or separated. Jesus is fully God and truly and fully human. Thus, the first four ecumenical Councils defined the meaning of the most foundational belief of the Christian faith and, as a result preserved the great promise of that faith for each one of us. In these Councils, as in the Second Vatican Council, what was said about Mary ensured the continued proclamation of the fullness of the truth about Jesus Christ.

We study the molecular biology of sensory transduction and ion channels.
Nociception is the process whereby specialized somatosensory nerve fibers (nociceptors) detect noxious stimuli and transmit this information to the spinal cord and brain, ultimately evoking a percept of discomfort or pain. Nociceptors are faced with the complex task of detecting disparate environmental and endogenous signals of both a physical and chemical nature, including temperature, pressure, irritants, pruritogens, and inflammatory agents. Consequently, nociceptor activation elicits acute pain as well as injury-evoked pain hypersensitivity, and can contribute to so-called ‘maladaptive’ processes underlying persistent pain syndromes. Our goal is to understand how nociceptors detect and integrate these signals in response to changing environmental or physiological conditions. We have exploited the vast chemical ‘space’ of natural product pharmacology to identify and characterize ion channels and sensory neuron subtypes that contribute to distinct nociceptive modalities, with an emphasis on members of the TRP ion channel family. We use genetic, biophysical, and biochemical methods to elucidate mechanisms underlying channel function, including stimulus detection, drug binding, and gating. Our research program provides a foundation for developing novel analgesic agents.
Yeast, flies, worms, and mice represent bedrock model organisms whose powerful genetic systems can be leveraged to probe complex cellular and physiological processes. However, some ‘non-genetic’ organisms have evolved unique sensory systems that are fascinating to explore and can provide novel insights into mechanisms of sensory adaptation. Although these creatures lack the advantages of standard model organisms, links between molecules and behavior can now be established by exploiting modern molecular methods (such as transcriptional profiling and whole genome sequencing) together with electrophysiology and pharmacology. With this in mind, we have asked how pit vipers and vampire bats detect infrared stimuli, or how ancient cartilaginous vertebrates, such as sharks and skates, detect weak electric fields. These studies have revealed how specific adaptations in ion channels and other cellular components underlie these unique sensory systems.

Newton’s third law of motion tells us that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The Buddhist principle of karma similarly teaches us that everything we do, every decision we make, has a consequence. Philosophical determinism suggests that we cannot escape the inherent causality of human existence, and that our actions will inevitably give rise to the effects that reflect our essential morality. Faced with the imbalances that subsequently blight much of our over-exploited, under-resourced, conflict-riddled world, the question is – how should we live?

Madness too, although not so many of us contemplate it to an equal degree. And yet the two are so often inextricably linked, unresolved conflicts tangling us up in knots. A new book published by Penguin with the mental health charity, Mind, offers some invaluable insights.
What were the writers of Humans thinking when they penned Channel 4’s latest sci-fi thriller? And what kind of thoughts were they hoping to trigger in viewers? Not since Utopia has an imagined story been so disturbingly close to a plausible reality where you’re left contemplating everything from human rights to the limits of our compassion.
What’s the point of the news? What purpose does it serve, does it do us any good, and how can we, as information consumers, manage the flow in a purposeful way? Answers via those who have tried and suggest that cultivating purposeful ignorance might actually empower rather than overload our intellect.
All animals occupy a different niche in space and time. Bats, as the only mammal to have developed the ability of true flight, are uniquely placed to survive in the shadows of the night-time. As well as being ecologically indispensable, they are magnificent to watch. Tuning into their world is a privileged way of gaining access to this world and a poignant reminder of our place in the universal order.
What constitutes a meaningful life, what is the point of existence, how do we fulfil our potential in a single lifetime in such a way that contributes to humankind, to the planet? These are the questions that provide the subtext to virtually all human activity and thought. Only we no longer have the luxury of time to contemplate the possibilities because we've antagonised the planet to the point of bringing on our own extinction.

Leading 2017 Isle of Man TT newcomer Adam McLean will be at this year’s Armoy Road Races.
The big event will take place on Friday and Saturday, July 28-29.
Joining McLean, a previous winner of the Junior Support at Armoy, will be local men William Dunlop, Neil Kernohan, Paul Jordan, Darryl Tweed, Paul Robinson, Gary Dunlop, Hexham rider Dominic Herbertson and Moto3/125 GP race winner Christian Elkin, winner of Moto3/125 GP race in 2016.
With entries yet to close (July 3) and the 2017 TT just finished, many riders are now turning their attention to Armoy and confirming their attendance.
The announcement was made at the official launch of the Roadside Kia ‘Race of Legends’, which was held at Gracehill House, Stranocum yesterday alongside a keynote presentation from David Wallace, the film producer of Road Racers and a local Dunloy man.
This year is the 40th anniversary of the original 1977 documentary, which truly captured the heady mixture of three local men, their families and their passion, drive and love of road racing.
He gave a short presentation on why and how the film was made but having won two BAFTAs for other work.
Some key scenes of the film depict the three riders, Joey Dunlop, Mervyn Robinson and Frank Kennedy, riding through the village of Armoy where they often tested their bikes.
Bill Kennedy MBE, Chairman and Clerk of the Course, AMRRC said: “We are delighted to host, film producer and local man, David Wallace. It is difficult to comprehend that this film, Road Racers, was made 40 years ago, let alone the impact this film would have in years to come, the place it has in people’s hearts and the iconic level that it has reached across the whole road racing community.
“The Armoy Road Races came about as most of you know, after a bit of craic in a local pub. It’s hard to believe come September that we will be in our tenth year and that we continue to celebrate all of our road racers, past and present, including the reputed Armoy Armada.
“It is also hard to be believe how exceptionally fast 2017 is disappearing but we are on target with our planning. With additional monies from the Department of Communities and some work on the roads, courtesy of Transport NI, these races are set to be one of the best.
“William Dunlop was man of the meeting in 2016 and I’ve no doubt he will be keen to revisit his Armoy winning streak. As of yet, brother, Michael Dunlop, who retains the title of Race of Legends winner, having won in six successive years has yet to confirm his entry but the Club is hopeful he will race on his home course come July.
Also in attendance were the Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Councillor Joan Baird, Terence Brannigan, Chairman of Tourism Northern Ireland, members of the Armoy Club and other guests and sponsors including title 'Race of Legends' sponsor, Roadside Kia.
Terence Brannigan, Tourism NI Chairman also commented: “Armoy Road Races are one of Northern Ireland’s prime motorsport gatherings, attracting motorcycle riders and spectators both locally and internationally.
"As the event goes from strength to strength it has an important role to play in tourism, in contributing to the economy and in enhancing our reputation as a destination.
Bill Kennedy concluded: “I’d like to finish by thanking event sponsors Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council and Tourism NI for their very kind support.
"I’d also like to thank our title sponsor Roadside Kia. Without the support and sponsorship from these organisations and other sponsors present here today, the event just wouldn’t be possible.
This year, Bike Week runs from Sunday July 23 until Saturday July 29 with the races taking place on Friday, July 28 and Saturday, July 29 culminating in the Roadside Kia ‘Race of Legends’.
The Armoy Road Races are part funded by Tourism Northern Ireland and the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council.

To Cite: Lee H, Levin M, Kim F, Warner A, Park W. Hepatitis B Infection among Korean Americans in Colorado: Evidence of the Need for Serologic Testing and Vaccination, Hepat Mon. Online ahead of Print ; 8(2):91-96.
Background and Aims: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is significantly higher in Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) than in the general U.S. population. People chronically infected with HBV not only have the potential for developing cirrhosis and primary hepatocellular carcinoma, but also are potential sources for infecting others. Therefore, early diagnosis of HBV infection can reduce the risk of further transmission of the virus through education and vaccination of high-risk groups. The aim of this study was to screen for current and past HBV infection in this high-risk group.
Methods: A community-based participatory study was conducted between 2004 and 2007. A total of 609 Korean Americans (KA) completed HBV blood screening tests in seven Korean churches in Colorado. Current HBV infection (HBsAg), past HBV infection (anti-HBc positive), and HBV susceptibility were measured. Demographic information, including HBV vaccination history on these groups, was obtained.
Results: Korean Americans had an almost ten times higher incidence of current (4%) and past HBV infection (41%) than the general U.S population. Older individuals had a higher incidence of past HBV infection and lower immunization rate. The risk of lifetime HBV infection was less among participants younger than 30 (OR: 0.07; 95% CI: 0.02-0.21) and those who self-reported HBV vaccination (OR: 0.12; 95% CI: 0.05-0.29). Variables associated with immunity due to vaccination (anti-HBc negative but positive to anti-HBs) were, age under 30 (OR: 13.86; 95% CI: 4.68-41.05), and self-reported vaccination (OR: 8.06; 95% CI: 3.43-18.92).
Conclusions: Our study findings confirm the high prevalence of HBV infection among AAPIs, specifically among AAPIs in regions where AAPIs constitute a small proportion of residents. Given the high incidence of HBV infection among these community-dwelling KA, and that the majority of HBV-infected participants were unaware of their condition, focused HBV screening should be conducted to uncover individuals with HBV.

Former Clements High School standout linebacker, Alec Davison (Class of 2012), earned a bronze medal during his first ever bodybuilding contest – The Phil Heath Classic at the Bayou Music Center on March 16, 2012. Although only 19 years old and eligible to participate as a “teen”, Davison instead opted to compete in the “open” flight of the Physique category. Participating in the entire event in all categories were over 400 athletes from all across the nation. With his third place finish, Davison is now certified to compete in all national events and eligible to become a professional body builder.
Davison became an Ivy League student- athlete at Columbia University in New York City last fall. He was named to the Preseason All Ivy League Football Team as a linebacker before a career ending injury forced him to conclude his college football career.
“After the medical professionals told me I had to give up playing football, I did a lot of soul searching”, Davison said. “Having played organized football since I was eight years old, it was a very big part of my life, but I needed to move on.” Since the age of 15, Davison had always enjoyed working hard during his year round strength and conditioning program designed to enhance his performance on the gridiron. So much so, that he earned his Certified Personal Training certificate from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA – CPT) and became a member of the National Physique Committee (NPC).
Alec has now refocused his academic and athletic energies on becoming an entrepreneur in the health and fitness industry and is in the process of transferring to the University of Houston where he plans on pursuing a BBA from one of the top entrepreneurship programs in the nation – The Wolff Center for Entrepreneurship.
Davison is not going to wait until he graduates from college to pursue his career ambitions. He recently launched a health and fitness business, Alec Davison Fitness, designed to help those interested in pursuing their fitness and nutrition goals. “Whether you are an aspiring or elite athlete looking for a competitive edge or someone just interested in improving how you look and feel, I can help you establish and achieve your goals .” If you or someone you know is interested in learning more, please visit alecdavisonfitness.com.

Mon Chéri Cruises have designed a special itinerary of two days/one night to explore the most charming areas of Halong Bay and Lan Ha bay. From the moment you board the Mon Cheri, you'll experience pure luxury on water with exquisite exterior and luxurious, comfortable interior. Your experience on the Mon Chéri will create unforgettable memories.
We booked 2D 1N cruise trip, to celebrate my birthday, and all the staff help me celebrate my birthday in style. A big thank you to all staffs to make my birthday really special and memorable. Thanks all the crew members for giving us wonderful memories of Halong Bay trip! In my view, anything less than 5 ***** wouldn’t do justice to you service standards. Highly recommended, if you are planning for Halong Bay trip!
We wanted to cruise Halong Bay but there were sooooo many options out there. I posted on a forum asking for suggestions and was told to check out Mon Cheri for two major reasons. 1) the cruise line is new and beautiful 2) the port location is about two hours closer to Hanoi than the port most cruises leave from. We like the idea of only being in the car 2.5 hours. I am glad we ended up booking with Mon Cheri. The boat is amazing. It feels very new and luxurious. There are few passengers on the boat so you feel like you have plenty of space. Each room has a balcony. The food was very good. The customer service was outstanding. The bay is gorgeous and makes for an wonderful ride and experience. We all loved the excursions. The tai chi was worth getting up for. Our family of 7, including two adult children and 3 younger (ages 14, 10, 8) all felt this was one of the highlights of our week in Vietnam. Well worth the money.
My family and I absolutely loved our 2D/1N Mon Cheri Cruise experience. It was the perfect way to see Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay without feeling rushed or crowded. The cabins were fantastic, boasting comfortable beds, WiFi, a rainfall shower, a bathtub, and a private balcony from which to soak it all in. Seriously: the cabin was nicer than the majority of hotels I've stayed in SE Asia. The included activities such as kayaking, shore visits, shrimp fishing, spring roll making, and evening cocktails were all great. The staff has limited English (remarkably so for a cruise that seems to cater exclusively to western tourists), but they try their best to make you happy. The only real negative from the experience was the food. It ranged from good (for lunch) to a remarkably cold and disappointing BBQ dinner. The breakfast buffet was decent and our farewell 'brunch' was a decent enough lunch, but it was an obvious drop in quality when compared to the service and the rooms. All being said, we still loved our time on Mon Cheri. In fact, we wished we'd booked the two-night cruise. If they can improve their food, it would make an already great experience an unbeatable one.
The Mon Cheri cruise was excellent. The boat is brand new, and you can tell. The cabins are phenemonal, each with balconies. Ours had a jacuzzi bath with window, and that was amazing. The crew were all so welcoming and happy to help, the excursions were fine - but they were obviously the same trips every tour takes, so don't expect anything individual. Food and drink are great, not exceptional but cater for all. Halong Bay is full of tours and this one seems better than most - predominantly because it goes from Hai Phong City so is easier and quicker to get to from Hanoi and avoids a lot of the crowded areas on the bay for long periods. Don't hesitate to book.
First impressions were amazing, we did a trip from Hanoi to the Ha Long Bay. The bus limousine picked us up from our hotel and dropped us right back. The cruise ship itself was absolutely stunning, extremely new and clean. Staff were excellent especially Jaysun who looks after you from start to finish. Finding it hard to fault it but if I had too the prices of drinks on it are a bit overpriced. The cruise itself is slightly more expensive than others but trust me when you see most of the other ships out there you'll be glad you payed the extra bit!! Fantastic experience and great activities. Rooms also stunning.

ALL THE papers gave prominence to Attorney-general Alecos Markides's statement that an arrest warrant could be issued for Bishop Chrysanthos of Limassol should he fail to return from Athens to face questioning by British detectives investigating fraud scams.
The papers reported that Chrysanthos, facing a barrage of accusations which include money-laundering and misuse of Church funds, flew to Athens on Thursday. The detectives will be in Cyprus on Monday to question him.
Machi reported on "revelations" in a Russian daily about when and how the S-300 missiles will arrive on the island. Russki Telegraf said the controversial ground-to-air missiles would be delivered by the nuclear- powered Russian warship Peter the Great in August - months earlier than the government says they will arrive. The Russian paper's front-page report was carried under the headline "Peter the Great to holiday in Cyprus", Machi said. The warship is to follow a course from a port in northern Russia through the Baltic to the Atlantic, then through the straits of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean and to Cyprus.
Final arrangements for delivery of the missiles were ironed out during President Clerides's recent talks with Russian President Boris Yeltsin in Moscow, Machi said.
Simerini carried the same story, adding that transporting the S-300s would be Peter the Great's maiden mission. The warship will be accompanied by a Russian aircraft-carrier and will travel on for exercises in the Indian Ocean after delivering the missiles.
Left-wing Haravghi devoted its front page to coverage of an Akel rally against the coup and invasion in Nicosia's Eleftheria Square on Thursday night - an event mentioned only in passing, if at all, by the other dailies.
Akel leader Dimitris Christofias was quoted as telling the thousands-strong crowd that his party would always fight the forces of fascism.
On the same theme of the coup and fascism, Machi reported that House and acting President Spyros Kyprianou had again called for the "file" on the coup to be re-opened so that the whole truth about the events of the summer of 1974 could be known. It was not, as many seemed to believe, too late to re-examine this dark chapter of Cyprus's history, Kyprianou was quoted as saying.
Phileleftheros reported that police were to investigate a Limassol betting company organising 'pyramid' games. The probe was ordered after a Finance Ministry officer noted the game was illegal because punters had no chance of winning.

Using this car on a daily basis is simply one of the best continual memories I have of it. It being this old however comes with a set of problems that you constantly have to watch out for. One of these is cooling.
When I bought the car, the radiator was almost brand new. I didn't think I'd have a problem with cooling, ever. But, the South African climate can sometimes roll you a nasty one. It was one of those heat wave periods and while sitting at the lights on my way home, I suddenly noticed that the temperature gauge was right off the scale. Something was wrong, but it was the last stop on my way back and I had less than a kilometer to go. So I pushed through. There was still plenty of water left in the radiator as I found out when I made the rookie mistake of immediately opening radiator cap to check, which resulted in me almost ending up with third degree burns all over my face.
The problem was the thermostat. It had given up and locked off the circulation so that the water around the engine couldn't get back to the radiator. Driving around like this is a problem, not least because you're putting the water pump under tremendous pressure.
So of course I had to order a thermostat. I opted for a cheap Chinese knock-off, which is still going to this day. Naturally it would take a while to arrive, and I had to get to work the next day, so I simply took out the old thermostat. This is no problem, the only effect is that the engine takes much longer to get up to working temperature, so I had to nurse it and curb my enthusiasm for much longer. This added yet another flavour to my driving this car which I remember fondly. A few days later though, still in this heat wave, I noticed a hissing sound while waiting for a friend, and popped the hood right there in the parking lot. I found that one of the hoses had sprung a leak. This was obviously because of the pressure build-up on that last stretch home. It was a tiny hole, but it could spell disaster at any time.
Fortunately it was the hose feeding the heater under the dashboard. This meant that it was easy to by-pass it and stick it into the back of the engine to complete the flow. A friend helped to get a specially made hose for this, and I drove around with this by-pass until my order of a complete set of silicone hoses arrived.
The by-pass hose visible at the back of the engine, and the two ports on the firewall that wasn't connected any more.
The silicone hoses took about a morning to fit, and there are two small pipes that I just couldn't get too, and thus never replaced. But I think the yellow pipes offset against the engine and blue bay looks absolutely brilliant. One problem I had was the hose clips. These things are super finicky (perhaps because of the age) even with hose-clip pliers. In the end I simply replaced all of it with proper plumber fasteners.
By now, the wheel bearing noise were much worse, and so I had to get cracking on the hubs. I had to buy a special tool to pull the hubs off of the axles (and almost totally wrecked the one center bolt completely!). I couldn't pull the bearings from the hubs myself, or fit the new ones. My father-in-law took it all to a guy that had a press who was kind enough to assist.
The one rear hub pulled off the axle and lying on the ground.
So at this point the under carriage was almost completely refurbished or replaced, apart from the front brake disks. I had total confidence in the car's long range capability now. But before we move on, the fabric top ripped up during a highway blast. Instead of ordering a Robins or OEM top, I took it to a local upholsterer, together with a new rain-rail, who did a fairly decent job for a third of the price (including fitting). It's still looking neat and is weathering really well almost 3 years later.

"My administration remains committed to protecting our environment and fighting for clean water for all Floridians, and I know firsthand Jay Steinle and Scott Wagner will be dedicated to these goals in their service to the people of Florida," DeSantis said in a news release.
Steinle, of West Palm Beach, is a managing director of Lighthouse Investment Partners, a global investment management firm with offices in Palm Beach Gardens. He received his bachelor's degree in environment studies from the University of Vermont, and is an active sportsman, the release states.
Wagner, a Miami Beach maritime lawyer, is president and owner of the Wagner Legal firm and is on the Orange Bowl Committee. He received his bachelor degree from Yale University and his doctorate from the University of Miami.
DeSantis asked all nine members of the board to resign Jan. 10. All board members appointed by then-governor and now U.S. Sen. Rick Scott have either resigned or have terms ending before the March meeting.
He appointed Sewall's Point native Jacqui Thurlow-Lippisch to the board Feb. 21 at an event in Stuart.
Chauncey Goss, an outgoing member of the Sanibel City Council and son of former U.S. Rep. and CIA Director Porter Goss.
Ron "Alligator Ron" Bergeron, a construction and development company owner from western Broward County.
Charlette Roman, a Marco Island councilwoman.
Carlos "Charlie" Martinez, a retired home builder from Miami-Dade County.
Cheryl Meads, an Islamorada village council member.

WITH AN EYE ON . . . : Samaria Graham: Is she what 'Blossom' needs to stay fresh?
A good many up-and-coming actresses would jump like a winning game-show contestant after landing a role on a hit TV series. Not this actress. Not Samaria Graham.
Midseason, Graham joined the cast of the NBC hit series "Blossom."
"I'm not really excited about it," she says. "It's just another job. I mean, I'm happy, but I'm not thrilled or anything."
The former substitute teacher won the role of Tony's (Michael Stoyanov) wife, Shelly, over many other contenders. It's a part that the show's producers hope will enhance the story line.
"Blossom" executive producer Judith Allison says, "We had quite a search. We needed the character to not be the traditional sitcom girlfriend or wife. After nearly five years and 90 episodes, stories were hard to come by, and with Tony, we thought it would be appropriate for him to marry and marry interracially. We needed to expand our horizons, and we did. We found Samaria."
Graham's introduction to the series came in an episode where Tony, devastated over a breakup with his longtime girlfriend, takes off for Las Vegas. There, the longtime recovering alcoholic goes on a bender. He wakes up with a hangover and a new wife. On their drive back to Los Angeles, Shelly and Tony fall in love, and decide to stay married.
Now, Allison and her husband, creator/co-producer Don Reo, have to determine where to take the show from here.
"We're trying to figure out if she should get pregnant," Allison says. "Since she's so independent, we don't know if she would want to be. The marriage is so new yet."
After graduating from New York's Music and Art High School and the University of New York at Fredonia, Graham taught in the New York public school system. While teaching, she continued to audition for musical-theater roles. She starred in both "Tough" and "Really Rosie."
She got her start on TV in the afterschool special "Girlfriend," which was nominated for an NAACP Image Award. An appearance in the 1993 Forest Whitaker-directed cable movie "Strapped" led to the "Blossom" audition. And she'll make her feature film debut in Penny Marshall's "Renaissance Man," starring Danny DeVito.
Most of what she does, says the actress, is "just work and I'll just keep doing it."
One part she wouldn't mind tackling is that of a killer. "Everyone I play is nice and innocent," she says between laughs, "I want to play a psycho woman, a crazy lady who no one would suspect would kill someone."
In the meantime, she's on hiatus and in the market to audition "for more juicy work." Being an actress is, after all, just another job.
"Blossom" airs a special "clip" show Monday at 9 p.m. , then moves into its new time s lot, Saturdays at 8 p.m. on NBC.

The sun has dipped beneath the line of the hills, and the grove is suffused with the dove gray of the twilight. The Celts had considered sunset to be the start of the day, as they considered the waning light of Samhain, summer's end, to be the year's beginning. You consider this as a Druid kindles the sacred fire at the grove's center, using a long taper from the altar.
Slowly, the flames spark and the kindling catches, suffusing the grove and its faces with a rosy glow.
“Now is the time to give our offerings and our devotion to the Gods and the season,” the ritual leader announces in a calm yet sonorous voice. Her white robe captures some of the twilight's fading glow, and the beads at her corded belt flash as she moves around the circle with an offering basket.
One by one, all assembled make their devotions. A woman in green has brought a harp and makes her offering of song, her voice rising to the darkness of interlaced branches above. You let yourself float upon the beauty and sacredness, as your eyes catch the first stars emerging from the fabric of night. You feel the Gods of the season watching joyfully in your mind's eye, their image as detailed and fine as everything before your opened eyes.
The song ends. A man reads a poem he has written to the Goddess being celebrated tonight, and offers it to the eager flames. Several place objects in the basket – satchets of dried herbs, mostly, a piece of homemade bread – murmuring prayers. They will be offered to the flames, you know, basket and all.
The Druid with the offering basket comes to you then, a smile on her lined face. What will you offer to the Gods this night? What gifts will you share with the Gods, the Nature Spirits and the Ancestors?
With a mix of excitement and calm, you raise your eyes and make the offering.
Welcome, seekers and fellow travelers, to the Henge of Keltria!
Keltria is a form of modern Druidry, a spiritual path dedicated to revering the Nature Spirits, honoring the Ancestors, and celebrating the Tuatha Dé Danann, the Gaelic pantheon once worshiped throughout Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Mann.
The Henge of Keltria, a religious association was established in 1987. That association was incorporated as a nonprofit religious corporation, The Henge of Keltria, Inc., in 1995.
Established as a religious association in 1987, the Henge of Keltria achieved 501 (c)(3) non-profit status in 1995 and is dedicated to providing information, training and networking to those who practice or are interested in our Druidic path. Membership is free and open to all, the latter at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and Council of Elders. Keltrian Druids celebrate their rites together in study groups and groves, although many of us are solitary practitioners – and welcomed into the faith on equal footing as those blessed enough to have a grove in their area.
Click here to learn more about the Board of Trustees, the Council of Elders and our Groves and Study Groups.
Simply put, the Druids were the religious specialists of a group of people we refer to as the Celts, although that wasn't their name for themselves. Originally from Central Europe, Celtic culture moved west to encompass Western Europe, including France (once known as Gaul), parts of Spain, Ireland and Britain. Celtic peoples also invaded and settled in parts of modern-day Turkey, Italy and Greece. They were (and are) an Indo-European people, speaking languages related – however distantly – to many of those in Europe, northern India and modern-day Iran.
Celtic languages had two main branches, which we can use as shorthand for a division of culture. One branch gave rise to modern-day Welsh, Breton and similar tongues; the other gave rise to Gaelic and its variants. This latter group of people are referred to in literature as the Gaels, although they would have probably have given their specific tribe name if you had asked them who they were.
Druids were both male and female, and endured training in an oral tradition than spanned a decade or more. They were poets, storytellers, keepers of geneology and lore, as well as ritual specialists, kingly advisors, healers and seers. In short, they were the experts of their day – an oral culture's equivalent of the intellectual elite. While the Gaels did have their own writing system known as ogham, they did not write down matters of the sacred, and thus what they actually passed down from Druid to Druid has been lost to time.
We reconstruct these practices through a reading of the lore: the myths and stories preserved by monks of their Pagan past. Unlike Abrahamic religions, this lore isn't a sacred text, unalterable and infallible; the lore was altered by those who wrote it down, and who opposed the polytheistic, non-Christian world view these stories likely represented in their original forms. As altered and insufficient as it may sometimes seem, the lore offers us signs and a map of sorts to reconstructing Druidic practice.
We also gain the tools to reconstruct Druidic practice through a study of history, archaeology, language and related cultures in the Indo-European sphere. Above all, we are inspired by the Gods and Goddess, the Nature Spirits and the Ancestors, who give us their own wisdom on the shape of our spiritual practices.
Still, we don't pretend to be the direct descendants of ancient Druids. We are modern Druids, practicing a faith relevant to the modern world while drawing on ancient sourcewaters.
The Henge of Keltria is currently structured around nine hallmarks that delineate our basic practices and beliefs; in other words, they are what define us as members of Keltria, as opposed to other spiritual paths.
This is accomplished through our rituals and sensing their inspiration in our lives.
This is also achieved through ritual and awareness of their messages received as we move through our daily routines.
As with our Gods, Goddesses and Nature Spirits, our Ancestors provide us with guidance and encouragement. You do not have to be of any specific ancestry or heritage to practice Keltrian Druidry. We welcome people of all backgrounds.
It is wrong to kill or maim without reason, regard and necessity. We place the responsibility of choice firmly in the hands of the individual.
An individual determines their own ethics based on self-respect and consideration of others.
Justice is best served not by reward or punishment, freedom or confinement, but in the efforts toward restoring the health of broken relationships.
Our purpose in life is to grow and evolve in wisdom.
We do not have the one, right, only true way. The Henge of Keltria provides a framework for self-exploration and choice.
The Henge of Keltria is prepared to accept new, proven scholarship even if it alters core practices. We recognize the importance of an individual's evolution and provide guidance when requested.
Engaging in a spiritual path of any type requires the devotion and dedication of the individual, in balance with his or her other responsibilities, roles and desires. It doesn't require blind faith. We encourage you always to read, question, read some more and, above all, engage – through ritual work and through human connection with your fellow Druids.
To learn more about Keltrian Druidry, we encourage you to read The Book of Keltria. Another must-have: The Keltrian Book of Ritual, which provides a step-by-step guide for our ritual format – the what, why and how of our workings. Click here to purchase the latest edition.
We also encourage you to visit our Well of Wisdom blog and read both current and archived posts; it's a treasure-trove of Keltrian articles and continues to be updated.
If you are in an area with a working grove or study group, we encourage you to reach out, if your schedule and circumstances permit; click here for a list of groves and study groups.
You can connect with fellow Druids in the virtual world via Facebook and our Yahoo Group.
If you would like to deepen your ritual practice and work toward initiation, contact the Henge and we will assign you a mentor to work through the study program. You must perform Keltrian ritual as a spiritual practice for at least six months – preferably a year – before asking for a mentor. This will give you the time and experience to discover whether Keltria is a good fit for you spiritually. Working through the study program is done on your own pace, but does require both reading and writing assignments. Initiation is not guaranteed, but depends on the work you put into the program as well as a determination from the Council of Elders.
Now, if the path sings to you, take your place by the sacred fire, make your offering and link your hands with your brothers and sisters. Like the roots and branches of trees, we connect with each other – with the sky and the land, and the sacred that surrounds us all.

A miniature sensor consisting of two adjacent micromachined cantilevers (a sensing/reference pair) is developed for detection of chemical and biological species. A novel interferometric technique is utilized to measure the differential bending of sensing cantilever with respect to reference. Presence of species is detected by measuring the differential surface stress associated with adsorption/absorption of chemical species on sensing cantilever. Surface stress associated with formation of alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on the sensing cantilever is measured to characterize the sensor performance.

Patthar की दिवारो को ताज महल कौन कहता…!!
Jis ny bhi chaha mera tamasha bana diya.
Meri nafrat meri mohabbat se zyada bepannaah hai.
aakhir mohabbat ke izhaar ko khubsurat jo banana tha.
Fraaz mitti ke Khilono se wafa nahi milti.
that love is called ISHQ.
love which is just an emotion, a sentiment, superficial.
Ek dusre ke dard ko bhi samjhna padta hain.
Uss Mohabbat se door Chale jaana Wo Humaare bas main hai.

Aakhari baar mohabbat ki hai.
Ek hum hain jinhe, mohabbat hai.
Ek wo hain, Jinhe Zaroorath tak nahi.
fir hum tumse nahi tum hamse mohabbat karte.
Jab dunia wale bhi achhe the, logo ke dil bhi sachche the.

Next generation 5G network can be 100 times faster than 4G, making communication between devices and servers much faster. 5G can also carry much more data than other networks.
This makes the technology ideal for transferring information from remote sensors and drones, key tools tested by farmers. 5G also helps automate agricultural processes.
Drinks using 5G help improve potato production in the Netherlands. And in Japan, 5G sensors are used to monitor the water temperature and salt concentration of oyster plants.
UK Initiative 5G RuralFirst launched a smartphone app in March called Me + Moo, which lets farmers track a "connected" cow and receive daily updates on the animal's health and behavior.
The system tested on cows at the Agri-Epi Center in Somerset, England is funded partly by a British state aid and supported by tech company Cisco ( CSCO ) .
cows carry 5G-connected collars that send data to the app on everything from what they eat to how they sleep. Farmers can see the information immediately and pass it on to veterinarians or nutritionists.
"This gives rest to the queue that the cows are happy, healthy and behave normally, as well as early warning if they get sick, are pregnant or need to be controlled," project manager Duncan Forbes said.

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The new school year is just around the corner, and a well-known supermarket chain is helping to raise money for schools in Maryland, and especially for one school in Baltimore City.
Throughout the month of August, the Safeway Foundation is collecting monetary donations for school supplies and other projects.
“The Safeway Foundation is a foundation that we use to help generate money, like the School Spirit Campaign that we’re currently doing, to really help give every kid in the community an opportunity to succeed through education,” said Tom Lofland, President of the Safeway Eastern Division.
The School Spirit Campaign kicked off Friday with a rally at the Safeway store on Boston St. in Canton.
Former Baltimore Raven Jameel McClain was there to not only sign autographs, but talk about the importance of giving back to the community.
The Canton Safeway will raise money for City Springs Elementary School on South Caroline St.
“There are a lot of needs at our school. There is never enough money to do everything that our children deserve to have as a part of their education,” said Dr. Rhonda Richetta, principal of City Springs.
It’s easy to make a donation. You can do it when you check out.
“Anyway we can partner with the schools to give our kids a better education, that’s what we want to do. We’re part of the community,” said Lofland.
The Safeway Foundation hopes to raise $300,000 for 114 schools in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

Last week when much of Israel was being inundated thanks to an unusually strong winter storm, many people had to be rescued from cars that had become stuck in floodwaters. But one such rescue is worth highlighting.
The floodwaters took out many small back roads in Judea and Samaria (the so-called "West Bank"), and one Palestinian Arab family became trapped in their vehicles when a typically-dry stream rapidly overflowed its banks one evening.
The Israeli army coordinator for the area called in Capt. Adiya Hazani, who is responsible for the area covering Jenin and Tulkarm. Hazani and his troops rushed to the scene to find roughly 200-300 onlookers and at least half a dozen victims trapped in three cars.
Hazani told the IDF Spokesperson that the situation was dire, but with the help of a local farmer and his tractor, the captain was able to reach each vehicle and safely carry those trapped to safety.
"Our role in the region is not easy. Believe me when I say that I understand we are in a complicated situation with the Palestinians. But at the end of the day, we’re all human beings. The commander of our regional brigade has repeatedly emphasized to those under his command that helping the Palestinian civilian population is a vital part of our role as IDF soldiers in the area."
What is frustrating is that Capt. Hazani's behavior and outlook are typical of Israeli officers and soldiers, but such behavior is rarely covered by the mainstream international press.
Instead, the media prefers to focus on unfounded allegations by Israel's antagonists or on the handful of incidents where Israeli soldiers are indeed caught behaving badly in order to paint a very negative overall image of the Jewish state.
