No risk of BSE in milk products
Press Release • Mar 02, 2000 09:13 CET
Although BSE, "mad cow disease," cannot be transmitted via milk, a number of MD Foods' importers in the Middle East and Far East have requested further documentation that MD's dairy products carry no risk of the disease following a case of BSE in a Danish herd.
In response, the Danish health authorities have circulated an information sheet to all Danish embassies citing the World Health Organisation's repeated claim that BSE cannot be transmitted via milk or milk products. Click here to see the information sheet.
In addition, the Danish health authorities have prepared a specific statement concerning milk and BSE which Danish exporters can forward to customers abroad. Click here to see the statement.
The cow affected by BSE in Denmark belongs to a herd which has supplied 800 kg of milk to MD Foods every other day. The milk from the herd has been used in normal production.

Well today we have 2 new oneshots for ya!
#1 Song of Youth: This is a cute little silent manga that was published in an alternative manga magazine called Garo back in June of 1966. While this series was amazing, there are also many others from Garo we would like to do. Therefore, our pal's over at Habanero Scans (who provided the raws for this series) Have posted raws and such from issues of Garo. Please help out if you can~
GRZ Release #0033: Songs of Youth oneshot
#2 Memoirs of a Dancer: Thanks again to Elemhunter for providing us with this wonderful oneshot. We decided a good synopsis for it would be something along the lines of "A man is on a research expedition in an underwater city, when he suddenly discovers a holographic recording of a ballerina." It isn't that long so we can't reveal too much ^.^'
GRZ Release #0034: Memoirs of a Dancer oneshot
Again, we could use some Donations, as well as some Typesetters/Cleaners and some Jp/Ch/Fr translators to wrap some things up.

3 instruments by Carlo Tononi
Carlo Tononi was undoubtedly a pupil of his father Giovanni in Bologna, where he worked until after Giovanni's death in 1713. In 1717 he moved to Venice — coincidentally the same year in which Pietro Guarneri arrived from Cremona, and it is likely that they worked side by side in Matteo Sellas' workshop.
Many of Carlo's instruments from around 1720 show the influence of Guarneri, but his work varies enormously, from highly-arched Stainer copies, such as the 1726 violin featured in this archive, to beautifully executed and varnished instruments inspired by the best of Cremona. The latter is clearly the case for the fine 1725 violin featured here, which, but for the scroll, could almost be mistaken for a Stradivari.

By SCOTT L RINDENOW AND ROBERTA DACKS
Last week, we attended the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2016 which wrapped up January
9th in Las Vegas. It was the most expansive CES, breaking records across the board and providing
opportunities for companies big and small to launch innovation to the world market. More than
3,800 exhibitors unveiled their latest technologies at venues all over Las Vegas. CES showcased the
latest wave of products and technologies that are connecting the world, enhancing lives and solving
global challenges. Over 170,000 industry professionals attended the show. Like every CES, there was
a mix of amazing, intriguing and downright ridiculous technology.
Technology now touches every facet of our lives, from providing an immersing home theater
environment, to improving our workouts and the way we sleep, to keeping us safe on the roads and
in our homes and even preventing or treating illnesses. One of the great things about the annual
trade show is that it helps set our expectations for technology in the coming year.
This show this year the big push was on Virtual Reality, Autonomous Vehicles, Drones, 3D
Printers, Talking Everything, Wearable Technology, Fitness Trackers, 4K UHD TV, HDR TV, OLED TV,
Home Security, Robots and Technology that Connects.
Some of the more "unusual" tech products at the show were such items as a Bluetooth-
Connected Pregnancy Test, a WiFi Digital Spoon, the world's first Laundry Folding Robot, A WiFi
Connected Refrigerator with internal cameras so you can check your frige from the grocery store,
a Connected Rubber Ducky,
the Smart Bra and lots of Aroma Enhanced Products.
At CES 2016, a lot of the news and push involved TVs. There were televisions with brighter
images that really pop thanks to high dynamic range (HDR) technology, the advent of 4K Blu-ray
players, and new competition in the small but growing OLED TV business where Samsung has
designed a TV that is impressive with its amazingly true-to-life colors.
ATSC 3.0, which will eventually be the new digital broadcast standard for over-the-air TV
reception is something to watch because, at some point, the standard will be rolled out and the
tuner in your current TV will no longer work. How long it will take is still a question, as standards
still have to be finalized and broadcasters will need to upgrade their equipment and existing
infrastructure. Among the benefits of ATSC 3.0 are the ability to handle 4K broadcasts, greater
interactivity and the ability for signals to be sent to both fixed and mobile devices simultaneously.
LG and Samsung are the real giants of the global TV marketplace, and both showed exceedingly
cool, highly compelling takes on how big-screen TV tech could evolve over the next few years.
LG's 18 inch rollable OLED TV
takes TV technology to places no screen could fit before. The
ultra-thin display acts more like a piece of paper than a television yet maintains an amazing
picture. It's easy to imagine rolling it up to hide away when it's not in use, moving it around the
house to watch anywhere, or sliding rolled-up into a bag to take on vacation. The obvious next
step is making it bigger.
Now, the average TV buyer is always going to be overwhelmed by the gaggle of new
specifications and terms and fancy technology descriptions that TV makers cook up to justify
higher prices. CES 2016 throws even more into the mix.
The best thing about the upcoming arrival of 4K UHD Blu-ray players may be that it has helped
push the industry toward finalizing UHD standards, including those for high dynamic range (HDR).
HDR is the term used to describe a wider range between the whitest whites and blackest blacks in
an image, so contrast is significantly improved. Television manufacturers cite studies indicating that,
for most people, HDR and a wider range of colors are more noticeable than increased resolution.
HDR signifies improved content on TV shows and movies. It is not just more pixels, but better pixels.
The HDR TV's I've seen are very impressive. Very few of the TVs sold last year can play back HDR
content, but in 2016 most of the major-brand TVs with 4K resolution are HDR compatible.
Now you see it, now you don't. Transparent TV technology has been around for a few years,
but Panasonic's prototype this year showed how it can fit into your home decor. The wood frame
around the TV shoots micro LEDs onto the glass when in use. When the screen is off, the glass
becomes transparent. TVs take up a lot of wall space, so it would make sense to have a display
that could disappear when you're not using one.
Today, we have a choice between cable broadband Internet, DSL Internet over your phone line,
which is slow and Satellite Internet. Soon, a new technology will be coming that will offer Fiber-
like speeds right over your phone line. It's called G.Fast, and Israeli chipmaker Sckipio is
showed off the powerful technology at CES this year. In a demonstration, they showed off
download speeds of nearly 750 megabits per second traveling over a standard phone line.
That's 50 times faster than the broadband that you probably have coming into your home right
now. This technology will greatly enhance the ability to stream content throughout the home.
The promise of G.Fast is to offer an alternative to your broadband company. The technology will
give your telephone provider the ability to offer even faster speeds than cable. The G.Fast
technology will debut in the United States later this year.
In the increasingly popular Virtual Reality world, GameFace Labs makes a self-contained VR
headset, meaning it doesn't need to be attached to an external computer like Oculus or other
headsets that require a high-powered gaming rig. GameFace Lab's first device will ship in 2017
Drones have taken an important position at CES given the rising popularity of these devices.
Drones with 4K video-recording cameras were the rage. Chinese company DJI, which has earned
quite a reputation for itself with its Phantom and Inspire Drones showcased the new Phantom 3 4K
which comes with a 4K camera and Live HD feed.
The EHang 184 is a human-sized drone built by the Chinese UAV company EHang. It is an
autonomous drone that will be able to carry a single passenger for 23 minutes at a speed of 60
MPH. The 184 also has gull-wing doors and arms that fold up.
Car manufacturers have dominated this year's show, with Toyota, Volkswagen, General Motors
and Fiat Chrysler all bringing futuristic cars to the show. These cars aim to drive themselves and
are filled with touch screens permanently connected to the internet. Ford set an ambitious target
of having an autonomous vehicle on the road by the end of 2016. Technology companies including
Apple, Uber and Google are all that believe they can beat Detroit in the race to a fully robotic car.
In the category of unusual events taking place at the show, a Chinese manufacturer's booth was
raided by US marshals in a crackdown on patent-infringing hoverboards. The raid, which led to
the confiscation of the self-balancing, one-wheel Surfing Electric Scooters, signs, branding and
show-floor stalls. As we all know, the stealing of intellectual property is not a victim-less crime.

Bonding and Molecular Polarity
Molecular Weight
Recent research has concentrated on molecules in living organisms and the molecular reactions that govern the growth of living systems. For example, researchers study the function of the central molecule of the living cell, ATP, or adenosine triphosphate—a sort of molecular battery. A high-energy covalent bond in ATP is formed or broken to pass energy to other molecules.
Researchers also examine the nature of enzymes, the molecules within cells that alter the structure of other…

If you are just getting started on a whole-food, plant-based diet you may think that dishes containing meat are a thing of the past.
While the meat in the dishes may be shelved it doesn't mean you have to entirely do away with those recipes.
With a little imagination and a few tweaks here and there, any recipe can be adapted to fit this lifestyle.
Below I've included a baked bean recipe found in one of our favorite cookbooks, The New Basics Cookbook, by Julie Rosso and Sheila Lukins. It contains bacon, a whole lot of sugar and it is delicious.
Just below that recipe is the vegan husband's adaptation of their baked bean dish. It contains no bacon and has one half the amounts of ketchup, sugar, maple syrup and molasses. It is so delicious you may feel like you are eating dessert!
You can take the recipe further by substituting tempeh for the bacon, making your own ketchup and omitting the brown sugar.
With a little creativity, a whole-food, plant-based diet can be more than just salads and green smoothies.
Serves 10-12
All American Baked Beans, from The New Basics Cookbook by Julie Rosso & Sheila Lukins
1 lb dried navy or great northern beans
8 oz slab smoked bacon, cut into 1/4 – inch cubes
1 cup chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 cups (packed) dark brown sugar
2 cups ketchup
6 tbsp maple syrup
6 tbsp dark molasses
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Vegan Husband Baked Beans
1 lb dried navy or great northern beans
1 cup chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1 cup ketchup
3 tbsp maple syrup, 100% pure
3 tbsp dark molasses
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Directions: (Yes, I've included the bacon version for the carnivores – this is a judgement free zone!)
Rinse and pick through the beans. Soak them overnight in a large pot of water.
Rinse the soaked beans well under cold water and place them in a heavy saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Drain, reserving the cooking liquid.
Preheat oven to 350 °.
Place a 2-quart flameproof casserole or dutch oven over medium heat and sauté the bacon until it is slightly crisp and fat is rendered, 5 minutes. Add the onions and garlic, and cook until wilted, 5 to 10 minutes.
Add the brown sugar and stir over medium-low heat until it has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Then stir in the ketchup, syrup, molasses, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Add the drained beans and mix well.
Cover the casserole and transfer it to the oven. Bake, stirring occasionally (making sure you scrape the bottom of the casserole), for 2 1/2 hours.
Add 3/4 cup of the reserved bean liquid, cover and bake 30 minutes. Then remove the cover and bake until sauce is thick and syrupy, another 10-15 minutes, stirring once. Serve hot.
Do you have a favorite meat-based dish you've adapted to plant-based? Please leave a comment…

Lakefront property owners next to the Burton Creek development in Denver likely won't see relief from silt deposits in their coves for several months.
Citing a need for more information, Lincoln County commissioners will continue discussing whether the property's owner, Fifth Third Bank, should pay for cleaning up the development's neighboring coves at its April4 meeting.
In the meantime, the county planning board recommended the county hire a third-party expert to analyze data on silt levels in the five coves.
Last week, Fifth Third requested county commissioners remove or reduce the $500,000 performance bond that is part of the development's conditional use permit.
The bank also requested they not be required to hire an independent firm to monitor silt levels in the coves.
The bank made the requests after county staff discussed possibly revoking the bank's conditional use permit since it had not met its stipulations.
In order to revoke the bank's permit on the Burton Creek development, county commissioners must open a quasi-judicial hearing and receive a four-fifths vote in favor.
Burton Creek has caused heartache to area residents since its original developer clear-cut 250 acres to make room for the 385 single-family neighborhood.
Residents have said that after the land was cleared, runoff from the exposed red clay during rainstorms poured into neighboring coves.
The sediment in the water, known as silt, threatens wildlife, water quality and property values, said residents.
Fifth Third Bank took over the Burton Creek property in September after it went into foreclosure.
But since the bank only plans to sell the property and has no intentions of developing the site, it should not be held to the bond or letter of credit, said Don Nielsen, an attorney representing the bank.
Nielson added the bank has invested money to stabilize the land.
"The bank is not to be blamed for what the previous owner did or didn't do," said Nielson. "The bank has caused no sediment flow. It's fixing a problem it did not cause at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars."
Nielson also suggested the $500,000 figure was punitive.
According to a 2009 county estimate, dredging one cove would cost $35,000. At the time, four coves were considered tainted by the Burton Creek development. Thus, to dredge all four coves would cost $140,000 for up to a foot of silt.
Since the county applies 125 percent for subdivision bonds, the total price of the bond would be $175,000 - not $500,000.
"It must be both responsible and appropriate," said Nielson. "There's no authority for a bond that is more than 350 percent higher than the county's worst case scenario."
Nielson requested, if the bond must remain, it be reduced to $140,000, per the county's own estimate.
But many residents said the bond should be higher than the county had set, especially since two more coves appear to have increased silt levels because of the Burton Creek development.
"I fully understand Fifth Third being an involuntary and reluctant owner of the property," said resident David McDonald at last week's meeting. "They're to be commended for dealing with and stabilizing the site. ... But if you own it, you own it, and you're responsible for it."
But bank representatives said there was "no evidence" that the Burton Creek development had ever caused the silting of area coves.
"We need to determine the true story of what's going on with the silt," said Jeff Frushtick, planning board chairman. "The original developer never established a baseline measurement and that's part of the problem."
Several residents said they were shocked that bank representatives suggested the development had not caused silting in area coves.
"My backyard is what we used to call quiet cove, you can call it quiet mud hole now," said Westport resident Gary Eudy. "If the silt issue is in denial, I invite Mr. Banker and Mr. Lawyer to come out to my cove. You will see the silt; it's nothing that's not apparent."

Trump FEMA nominee withdraws after getting busted for falsifying records

D.C.Portrait of Dan Craig -- Photo by Greg Schaler/ FEMA News Photo
Don't miss stories. Follow Raw Story!
Daniel A. Craig, who was tapped by President Donald Trump to serve at the No. 2 spot at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, has withdrawn from consideration after an NBC News report revealed that he allegedly falsified travel and timekeeping records during his tenure at the Bush administration in 2005.
The investigation, which was conducted by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General, found that Craig falsely claimed that a trip he was taking to Louisiana in 2005 was for official government-related business, when in reality, he was seeking a job at the Shaw Group, a construction company that received a massive contract to help rebuild the state in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Even more damning, the supervisor who was in charge of signing off on FEMA employees' travel vouchers claimed that the signature on Craig's voucher had been forged. And finally, the investigation found that Craig regularly claimed to be doing official business at times that he was actually interviewing for other jobs...

Market Dynamics
Historically speaking, regulatory authorities on the telecommunications market have viewed their primary tasks to be securing debundled access for competitors to infrastructures which have, for the most part, been created by former government monopolies with substantial market power and employing regulatory controls to generate price competition benefiting consumers. In the meantime, the markets for telecommunications, media, and IT have by and large merged into one and expanded their scope from the national to the global stage; at the same time, the existing copper cable infrastructure has become more or less obsolete. Traditional telecommunications companies are struggling with falling revenues and profits in conjunction with rising demand for investments in new NGA access technologies while more and more global service providers without their own grid infrastructure (OTTs) as well as traditional media companies are turning into competitors.

We celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday because Wyatt has to work the day of. It was all really last minute planning. Literally, the day before. With three kids, it had to be simple.
You might remember my table from last year. I used similar flowers (from Trader Joes), but also added the succulent I already had from elsewhere in my house. I bought a varied bouquet with lots of greens and purples that I split up, and some hypericum berries to add in. The vases I've had for years, and are from Ikea. My placemats I bought on One Kings Lane, a few years ago. All the flowers came with long stems, but I wanted it to feel more modern, and also casual, so I trimmed them way down.
It's all in the details, here are some of my favorite:
1. Use your leftover flower trimmings, the stems or a little bud, to garnish the plate or silverware.
2. Tie your silverware together with elegant ribbon, like velvet. I usually do this, and add the flower trimming in with it, like a pretty little package (didn't have the ribbon this time around).
3. Add some pretty linen napkins, try folding them vertically, under the plates for a layered look.
4. One year my mother in law had printed a beautiful quote about home and thankfulness and placed it on each plate. It was such a nice sentiment.
5. Try leaving the table bare. There are so many neat placemats and runners out there, you don't need a tablecloth. Especially if you have a great farm table, let that show!
I've made it easy for you and pulled most of the sources, or something similar so you can create the same look. If you're wondering what that funky looking flower is off to the left, it's a Protea. They're stunning, and Trader Joe's has them throughout the fall always.
Other beautiful tables I've bookmarked for down the road...

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews that showcases newly acquired books or goodies we bought, received or borrowed during the week.
I've gone overboard again and completely blew my book budget so for the whole month of November, book buying ban will be in effect. It saddens me because Reached, among others, will be released by then but I just have to discipline myself and learn how to stick with the budget allotted for books. So this would be my last post for this meme but I'll see you on December. *finger's crossed*
I was lucky to get a copy of Every Day from a pre-loved book seller online. The book is just recently released as you all know so I was ecstatic to purchase it half its original price plus it's still in a very great condition. Then Unspoken was gifted to me by a friend. It was like we exchanged gifts because I also bought a gift for her. It was supposed to be The Raven Boys but when I learned that we have copies of Unspoken locally, I asked her to get it instead.
I have a line of books to purchase but as I've said, book buying ban will be effective next month. So all I could do as of the moment is to be jealous of you guys! :)

The wild week is over. Sure had fun though. Didn't do quite all the things on the list, but got most of them done and even some other adventures that weren't on the list. We missed the Museum and the school playground, but we got the Lion's Park playground. Gracie and Uncle Ed went to pet the Game Warden's mules down at the check station. They were gone, so the went up the hill by way of the road and came back down the trail. Long way for Gracie, but didn't seem to phase her a bit. Ed went out picket pin hunting and got five of them. Then Gracie found a dead critter in the yard which she thought must have been a picket pin. It turned out to be a dead mouse, so Ed had the job of disposing of it. Gracie thinks I need to shovel all the deer poop out of my yard.
Sunday was Church day and the day of GGma's Birthday party at the Irma. That was very nice and the girls were really good. The waitress even commented on how good they were. After the party there they went shopping at Wal-Mart. Even Pat and Gary went. They all had a good time and Gracie talked Aunt Patty into some toys for her and Libby. What a soft touch.
Monday we went to Hardin in the rain. Not too bad though. I did get to the house a few minutes before them and had time to put up some little things not meant for little girls. Got Spuddie's pictures put away and three other boxes of breakables before they got there. Ed helped me get the rest of the stuff put in the basement. Was a really hurried clean up job, so will take awhile to find it all again.
Ed had his cookout with his friends and the rest of us went to Pat's. Jen's MacDonald's toys were a big hit with the little girls. Jen is now their best cousin ever. Tuesday Ed took Gracie on another adventure, walking downtown then to the Park before we met Pat and Jen for coffee at MacDonalds, where the girls talked someone into getting new mermaid dolls. Jen got to show off her cousins to her co-workers. Mary got to visit briefly with a couple of her classmates during our time in Hardin. We did get some of Spuddie's treasures packed up for Mary. Then I had to come back to Meeteetse. They leave bright and early tomorrow morning.

Community Primary School
Hello, my name is Mrs Leigh and I am the subject co-ordinator and specialist music teacher at Moston Lane. Music is a highly valued area of the curriculum and I am responsible for the delivery of weekly music lessons to Years 3, 4 & 5. I have also delivered lessons to Year 1 during the spring term and Year 2 will be receiving some specialist music lessons in the summer term. Year 6 children receive music tuition during the summer term after completing their SATS tests. Music is delivered by class teachers in EYFS.
Within music lessons, children have the opportunity to develop their singing skills and to experience playing a variety of untuned and tuned percussion instruments. Year 4 children are taught to play the recorder as a whole class instrumental project, and Year 5 children participate in a whole class djembe drumming project.
We also have visiting instrumental teachers from the Music Service who teach violin/viola and steel band to Years 4 – 6. These groups have the opportunity to perform in concerts at Christmas and in the summer term. We have recently formed an extremely enthusiastic choir who gave their latest successful performance at Easter.
The children at Moston Lane really enjoy music and we are very proud of their achievements both in and out of the classroom.
Please follow the links to find out more about the expectations for your child:
Below is the 'Curriculum Map', which outlines the activities and skills that will be taught throughout the year.
Music Curriculum
Year 6 'Garage Band' Workshop
In Year 6, we have been very fortunate to have an electronic music composer/producer in called Caro who has been in delivering iPad music workshops for the last 5 weeks! She has taught us all about electronic music; the key musical terms and phrases; how to use the "Garage Band" app on the iPads; and has helped us create a theme tune to our very own TV show!

1. A robot recently performed the world's first autonomous soft-tissue surgery without any assistance from doctors, and did so while outperforming human doctors by every metric except for speed.
The surgical bot is named STAR, or Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot, and it just performed the world's first autonomous, soft-tissue surgery. STAR is the creation of a team of computer scientists and medical researchers led by Peter Kim, a biochemist at the Children's National Health System in Washington D.C.
The machine performed several supervised (but unguided) surgical procedures in which it sutured together two severed segments of bowel intestine in living, anesthetized pigs.(source)
2. Applying sugar can heal wounds by drying out the bed of the wound, promoting new tissue growth and dehydrating bacteria that cause infection.
To help heal seriously infected wounds, some surgeons have revived a 4,000-year-old treatment, born on the battlefields of ancient Egypt: they pack the depths of treacherous wounds with sweet substances like sugar.
"It's a very old and very simple treatment which was forgotten for a while but is now coming back, like a fashion," said Prof. Rudy Siewert, chairman of the department of surgery at the Klinikum Rechts der Isar in Munich, West Germany.(source)
3. Until the 1960's, the only reliable pregnancy test was to inject a woman's urine into a female African clawed frog. If the woman was pregnant, the frog would ovulate within 12 hours.
The test was done by injecting some urine into its dorsal lymph sac in the morning and check back at the end of the day. A dose of a pregnant woman's pee will cause a female South African clawed frog to lay eggs within eight to 12 hours. The test also works on male frogs, which produce sperm in response to the injection.(source)
4. There is no single food that provides all the nutrients that humans need, except for breast milk.
Jo Ann Hattner, a nutrition consultant at Stanford University School of Medicine and former national spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association explains, "Mother's milk is a complete food. We may add some solid foods to an infant's diet in the first year of life to provide more iron and other nutrients, but there is a little bit of everything in human milk."
Technically, adults could survive on human milk too, the sticking point would be finding a woman who is willing to provide it (and enough of it).(source)
5. A hallucinogenic chemical found in magic mushrooms has successfully lifted severe depression in previously untreatable patients.
Scientists at Imperial College London induced intense psychedelic trips in 12 people using high doses of psilocybin. A week after the experience all the volunteers were depression-free, and three months later five still had no symptoms of the condition.(source)

Animal Hospital of Dauphin County
Our dog, Ivan, has a unique situation (heart worms, liver issues, severe weight loss and some hip issues). After three visits to Colonial Park Vet, we decided to seek a second opinion and we were glad we did. Dr. Heather Balmer was extremely thorough in her examination of Ivan as well as asking us about things we've noticed with him. Given the complexity of his situation and the multitude of issues he has, she referred us to a specialist group without hesitation. You could tell Dr. Balmer was struggling with how to handle the case given the multiple issues our dog has, but we sincerely appreciate her sincerity and fast action to help us help our fur baby. Fingers crossed the specialist is able to assist us and help resolve Ivan's multiple issues. Overall, the staff at AHDC was extremely helpful and polite. We are extremely thankful for them taking us in and taking the time to thoroughly examine our dog and hear our experiences with his symptoms the past few weeks. We will be coming back for sure!Read More …

The Kyoto Protocol, which seeks to reduce global greenhouse emissions, will become effective Feb. 16 in 132 countries that signed the treaty. Even though the U.S. is not a signatory to the treaty, U.S. companies with operations in Kyoto-participating countries will be required to curb their greenhouse gas pollution in those nations.
One major U.S. pharmaceutical company has determined that its corporate fleet is the second largest source of greenhouse emis-sions for the organization. Several fleet managers at U.S. multi-nationals report that pressure is beginning to be exerted on their fleet operations through the corporation's environmental/health department. As one fleet manager said anonymously: "Many fleets have been flying under the radar screen with this issue, but the tentacles are starting to come out and drag us all in."
Probably the most noteworthy example is Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., which announced in December 2004 that it would replace all 14,000 of its company vehicles with low-emission vehicles (LEV) and hybrids by fiscal 2010, although this does not include its U.S. fleet operations. In addition, the company, also known by its Panasonic brand name, is considering setting up its own financing system whereby approximately 140,000 Matsushita group employees could access low-interest loans to buy eco-friendly cars for personal use. Shortly after the Matsushita announcement, Japan Tobacco said on Jan. 22 that it would replace all of its 3,787 vehicles with hybrid or compressed natural gas vehicles in an effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Japan Tobacco is part of the JT Group, which said it plans to switch all 5,000 vehicles to cleaner emission vehicles.
Other corporations are exploring similar initiatives. For example, Roche Pharmaceuticals in the U.S. announced it will buy hybrid vehicles as part of the company's commitment to lower greenhouse gas emissions by 10 percent over the next five years. Roche is acquiring Toyota Prius and Ford Escape hybrid vehicles for its pharmaceutical sales fleet. Initially, only 20 hybrids are involved in the pilot program, but "we plan to continue to add hybrids and other fuel-efficient vehicles into the 1,400-car sales force and eventually replace our entire fleet," said Jack Kace, vice president, corporate environmental & safety affairs for Roche Pharmaceuticals. With less fanfare, other companies are also implementing similar changes to their fleet selectors. For instance, GE Fleet Services reports an increase of approximately 12-percent year-over-year demand for hybrid or flex-fuel vehicles, said Tim Duckworth, manager, manufacturer relations for GE Commercial Finance, Fleet Services. "As long as fuel prices remain high and as OEMs produce more hybrid models, we can anticipate this to be a significant growth area."
Similarly, PHH Arval recently completed a fleet-related environmental survey in which more than one quarter of the commercial fleet managers surveyed stated they already have or are seriously considering adding alternative-fuel vehicles to their fleets. (See July 2004 AF.) According to the PHH survey, government regulations top the list of reasons why corpo-ations have made the environment a business priority.
However, corporate responsibility and the opportunity to enhance a company's image among investors, the community, and customers are also key motivators. Some companies have made a point to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as a demonstration of social responsibility and a commitment to "do the right thing." George Kilroy, president and CEO of PHH says, "Many of our clients are altering the types of vehicles they use in their fleets and implementing better management practices to reduce fuel costs and dramatically reduce greenhouse emissions. For instance, a fleet of 1,000 vehicles produces about 14,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions. By shifting from full-size to mid-size cars, from SUVs to mid-size or introducing hybrids into the fleet, these emis-sions can be reduced by as much as one-third."
State & Municipal Fleets to Comply with Kyoto
Several state governments and political subdivisions in the U.S. have said that they intend to comply with the Kyoto treaty even though the federal government has not signed it. For instance, Mayor Rocky Anderson of Salt Lake City, Utah, has stated that the city plans to abide by the Kyoto Protocol for its municipal operations. One way that Salt Lake City is seeking to reduce greenhouse emissions is by converting part of its fleet to AFV vehicles and downsizing the fleet wherever possible.
"In order to improve our air quality, we will continue to right-size our city fleet and convert it to alternative-fuel vehicles," said Anderson. Over the past five years, Salt Lake City has eliminated 36 SUVs from the city fleet, six of them in 2004. "As fleet vehicles need to be replaced, we will continue to replace them with hybrid and alternative-fuel vehicles until these energy-efficient vehicles make up our entire fleet," said Anderson.
Another example is Washington state, where Gov. Locke announced Dec. 28 a freeze on state government purchase of four-wheel drive SUVs and directed the state motor pool to begin shifting its purchases to hybrid vehicles. Likewise, the City of Seattle, Wash., and the state of Oregon have adopted green fleet programs to purchase hybrid vehicles to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by government-owned cars and trucks. The question is whether this is an emerging trend or isolated corporate initiatives.

Recent Highlights
December 2015
We used the ESRF's X-rays to study the blue and white feathers of the Jay and have found that birds use well-controlled changes to the nanostructure of their feathers to create the vivid colours of their plumage. This research opens new possibilities into creating non-fading, synthetic colours for paints and clothing. This is published in the open access journal Nature Scientific Reports
October 2015
• Work looking at the way in which Amyloid diseases like Alzheimers damage the cell has been published as an open access article in the journal Soft Matter available here
September 2015
• Heating and cooling cycles like that would be experienced under actual operation are able to make breath pattern structures on the surface of polymer solar cell blend films. This has now been published in the journal Polymer Physics as part of the Ed Kramer special issue polymer physics, also open access.

Blends of block copolymers as anti-counterfeit materials
Coloured materials were made using block copoylmers (an alloy of two different polymers). By mixing the block copolymers together, we were able to create any colour in the rainbow from two non-coloured solutions. This type of polymer then automatically organises itself into a layered structure, causing optical effects similar to opals. The colour also changes depending on the viewing angle see video. This system has huge advantage in terms of cost, processing and colour selection compared to existing systems. The image to the left shows the range of colours that can be made by mixing the two block copolymers in varying proportions. The work was published in Soft Matter 2011, 7, 3721-3725 . We carried out the small angle x-ray measurements Diamond light source This work has been covered extensively in the media Independent online, the BBC, the Engineer and ScienceDaily
Watching phase separation in spin coated polymer blends
Spin coating polymer blend thin films provides a method to produce multiphase functional layers of high uniformity covering large surface areas. This work recently published in ACS Nano has employed synchronized stroboscopic illumination to optically observe structure evolution in such blends during spin coating in real time. The aim was to understand the evolution as the rapidly spinning layer dries to then be able to reliably control the final morphology.The work gave insights to the very early stage evolution of thin film phase separation.
Layering / stratification in polymer solar cell blends
Using neutron reflectivity, self-stratification in a model P3HT/PCBM blend was observed. The as-spun and solvent-annealed films show a depletion of PCBM near the top surface and enrichment of PCBM at the substrate (see figure). Depletion of PCBM at the cathode interface in a photovoltaic device could act as a barrier to efficient electron extraction. On thermal annealing, the PCBM depleted region is eliminated; an effect that partially explains the improvement of P3HT/PCBM devices on thermal annealing.

The development of nanoscale morphology in polymer: fullerene photovoltaic blends during solvent casting
The development of structure and order in a model polymer solar cell blend has been studied using in situ ellipsometry and grazing incidence x-rays. This `dynamic´ information permits a number of basic mechanisms in film-formation processes to be resolved; information that will help the design of new and improved materials for plastic solar cell applications.

Self-Motile Colloidal Particles
Directing objects on the small scale is an intriguing problem that has been studied recently by researchers from our group. Jon Howse (who has recently been appointed a lecturer in chemical engineering at Sheffield) examined the motion of an artificial microscale swimmer that uses a chemical reaction catalyzed on its own surface, in order to achieve autonomous propulsion. This catalyst is distributed asymmetrically on the surface and propels the particle by a process called self diffusiophoresis. At short time scales directed propulsion was observed whilst at longer times the motion of the particles becomes more diffusive in behavior.

How We Invest
Investment Style
We are an active high conviction manager with a bottom up stock-picking process. This means that we make investment decisions independent of a benchmark, and consider companies on their own merit and not for the sectors that they are a part of, or the current economic conditions.
We only invest in large, proven business models with a equity market capitalisation of greater than $200m a time of purchase. Typically, the companies we invest in are prudently financed, well managed and have a track record of success. We apply growth, quality and valuation tests, positioning our investment style towards growth at a reasonable price (GARP). Our five year focus also tends to favour higher growth companies.
