Alfalite and FOR-A Announce First Sale in U.S.
- 19 June, 2023
USA: After launching a strategic partnership in April with Spanish LED manufacturer Alfalite,
FOR-A announced its first sale of three walls of Alfalite Modularpix Pro screens to The Church at Rock Creek in Little Rock, AK. This sale marks Alfalite's first order in the U.S. as well as the first sale for the
FOR-A/Alfalite alliance. FOR-A's HVS-490 video switcher and MFR-6000R routing switcher form the backbone of the church's video infrastructure. Audio/video/lighting (AVL) consulting and design firm Strata AVL is leading the design and build for The Church at Rock Creek and recommended the Alfalite displays.
The Alfalite walls are expected to be installed in August and will conclude the second phase of this project, with the switcher and router installation comprising the first. Three identical video walls, each with 112 panels, will be truss-mounted on stage of the 2500-seat sanctuary. Two of the walls will provide IMAG (Image Magnification) and the third will be a motorized wall serving as a moveable backdrop for the pastor. The walls will feature live video, graphics, and text to elevate the experience for audience members.
While The Church at Rock Creek has been streaming for a while - to its website, the Church Online platform, Facebook, youtube channels and live video distribution into breakout rooms and the church's lobby -
Alfred Burgess, Client Relationship Specialist at Strata AVL, describes the video equipment they were using as 'bare bones.' "You've got to have good video quality first before you capture anything,"
said Burgess. "The Alfalite screens are phenomenal technology, but they can't transform poor video
quality into something truly captivating and cinematic."
Strata worked with FOR-A to bring in the best product combination for the church's needs. "The ease of use of our HVS-490 switcher and MFR-6000R router combined with their durability and video quality are a perfect match for the superior imagery and performance of the Alfalite LED walls,"
said Satoshi Kanemura, President, FOR-A Americas.
"The business collaboration with FOR-A has far surpassed our expectations at this early stage in our partnership," said Juan Vega Diaz, International Business Development Manager, Alfalite. "We share a common vision of company priorities, including intuitive operation, robust design, and premium quality. FOR-A's cutting-edge technology maximizes the output of our LED video walls. It's a true win/win partnership, particularly for potential customers."
David Roche, co-owner, STRATA AVL, echoes Vega Diaz' sentiment on the shared priorities of Alfalite and FOR-A: "One of Strata's goals in every project is to offer our clients the greatest value for the dollars they have available. That means we look for products that offer great capabilities as well as high quality. FOR-A and Alfalite have that same philosophy. We saw firsthand how their design and manufacturing capabilities create very high-quality LED panels when we visited Alfalite's facility in Huelva, Spain. Their Modularpix Pro panels are a perfect fit for our friends at The Church at Rock Creek and we are happy to recommend them."
According to Adam Daniul, FOR-A Americas Vice President of Sales, Alfalite's attention to detail goes far beyond the typical manufacturing process. "When we were touring the factory, they splashed water on the panels, beat away at it, and applied chemicals to it - without sustaining any damage. LED panels can get pretty banged while they're being installed. Preventing that damage is an amazing advantage. Then there's ORIM, which makes possible the incredible, 175-degree viewing angle with perfect precision and no color degradation."

NATO Loses Ukraine
"Peace is the last thing that the Nobel Peace Prize winning president wants to see." |
The United States and NATO attack on the Russian Federation has failed. The Ukrainians who refused to accept the legitimacy of the West's puppet government emerged victorious on the battlefield. If there is any doubt on that point, Ukraine's decision to sign the Minsk Protocol cease fire agreement is proof. President Poroshenko seemed like a man in the cat bird seat when western nations chose sides in a civil war and kicked out his predecessor. The road to hell was paved with very bad intentions.
One wouldn't know it from reading and viewing the corporate media, but the western gambit has been disastrous. More than 1 million people have been displaced (most fled to Russia), the economies of many countries have been damaged by sanctions, and atrocities such as the shooting down of Malaysian Airlines flight 17 would have been avoided if there had been any grown ups at work in the western capitals.
The talking heads should be telling us about the failing effort to prop up the empire, but instead they parrot the words of the losing side. After destroying Libya and killing president Gaddafi the evil empire concluded that they had found a winning formula.
Fortunately for humankind, Bashir al Assad hangs on in Syria and all that NATO has to show for its misadventures is ISIS, which grows stronger by the day, beheads American journalists on video, and attacks the legitimacy of Saudi Arabia and the other gulf monarchies who worked hand in hand on the imperial project.

The midterm elections sent Barack Obama a clear message, say three-quarters of respondents to the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, but 55% think Obama either missed the message or is ignoring it. Another majority back the use of enhanced interrogation techniques against suspected terrorists (51/28). The WSJ leads with race relations, though, so let's start with their graph on the subject:
After two widely publicized cases of grand juries' choosing not to pursue criminal charges against white police officers in the deaths of unarmed black men, the poll found that just 40% of Americans believe race relations in the U.S. are good—the lowest share registered by the poll since 1995.
The more negative view of race relations marked a substantial change from the period shortly after Mr. Obama's election, when 77% said race relations were good and 21% said they were bad.
The change is largely a reflection of a change in attitudes among whites, who made up 74% of the survey. In mid-2013, whites viewed race relations favorably rather than negatively, with 52% calling them "very good" or "fairly good," while 45% called relations "fairly bad" or "very bad." Now the assessment has flipped to a more unfavorable view of 40% to 58%.
Among African-Americans, who made up 12% of poll respondents, the change has been less pronounced. In mid-2013, some 38% rated relations as very or fairly good, and 58% viewed them as very or fairly bad. Now, 35% give a positive assessment and 63% a negative one.
Well, kinda. It's true that the most dramatic change in the past year has been among whites, but that's only a small part of the story. Whites tend to be more optimistic than blacks in this poll, but the trends track very closely together over time, as the chart shows. The more significant trend is the sharp decline starting in 2010 among all groups. Both are now at lows not seen since before Obama got elected, lows that go back to the first term of Bill Clinton. Hispanics tend to be the most optimistic, but they're trending downward too.
What's driving that? Each group probably has different reasons. What's clear is that Obama is at the least not helping matters. Otherwise, this poll has little to offer on causes. It only asks whether the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases have impacted their view of the legal system. For more than four out of ten respondents, neither had an impact.
The NBC/WSJ poll corroborates earlier polling on EITs. By almost 2:1, Americans think the CIA's efforts to prevent further attacks on the US were "acceptable under the circumstances," 51/28. A plurality of 45/28 believe those techniques should be available in the future. If one believes that these EITs amounted to torture, that's not exactly a "never again" populace, and it suggests that the Democratic attack on the CIA will have the potential for considerable blowback, politically speaking. Don't be surprised if Democrats drop this topic after New Year's Day, if not earlier.
Obama has bigger problems in this poll, as the WSJ notes:
[T]he nation shows weariness of President Barack Obama , with more than 70% saying the next president should take a different approach from the current one.
That will also mean different things to different people, but it means one thing for Obama: lame duck. It's similar to the 76% George W. Bush got in 2008. Otherwise, the message is a little muddled. Republicans have a 40/38 advantage on the next-president preference, a question this series hasn't asked since the end of the Reagan era. Republicans had a 39/36 edge in that one, although Democrats led in three 1987 iterations of the same question. In contrast, only 50% in 1999 wanted a different approach from Bill Clinton in the next presidency.
Respondents are already unhappy with Obama's refusal to recognize the message of the midterms. Thirty-four percent believe he's gotten the message but just refusing to make the necessary adjustments to respond to voters, while another 21% think he's just clueless. Only 24% think that the midterms didn't send a message to Obama at all. So much for Obama's attempt to claim he's listening to the supposed two-thirds of voters who didn't cast a ballot on November 4th.
Obama's numbers are similar to other national polling. His job approval is 45/50, up from 40/54 in August but not by much. He gets better marks on the economy than in other polling, 46/49, which is a jump from 43/53 last month. On foreign policy, though, he's still deeply underwater at 37/55, and his numbers have barely budged on immigration (40/53) even after his supposedly bold unilateral move last month … after the election and almost six years into his presidency.
No one is terribly impressed with Obama any longer. The lame-duck era will be long and painful for the White House, especially with Republicans fully in charge on Capitol Hill.

AICN Breaking NARNIA Exclusive: Mrs Beaver feels the director of THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER is very Apted!
Published at: April 17, 2007, 11:05 p.m. CST by
Hey folks, Harry here... Today, at my new house, my crazed Pommeranian went bark crazy when there came a short rapping at my chamber door. "Tis some visitor," I muttered... rapping at my chamber door. Ah, distinctly I remember, as each separate dying ember wrought its ghost... why am I ripping off Poe on a C.S. Lewis story? Anyway - Mrs. Beaver visited me... and after my Pom was drugged, I had some nice cookies and tea with Mrs. Beaver and asked her why she was visiting. Turns out, Mrs. Beaver came a very long way to chat with me about THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER. We all heard that Andrew Adamson was vying out of the directing duties on DAWN TREADER, the third Narnia film... He's still going to produce the film, but a new director was needed. Mrs. Beaver came directly to me to share the scoop. The director of THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER is... MICHAEL APTED!!! That's right, the tremendous director behind the __ UP series of docs, GORKY PARK, COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER, GORILLAS IN THE MIST, the criminally underrated THUNDERHEART... and most recently AMAZING GRACE! Given Michael's upbringing in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England... Given that the first Narnia book was written when Apted was a strapping 8 years old... and continued to come out through him reaching the age of 13... the PRIME ages to have read that series... I'm betting that he's a huge honking NARNIA fan from the get go. All I know is that Apted is a damn fine director and he's never really tackled material on this scale, closest being his Bond film, but that's nothing near THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER in terms of scope or effects. But hopefully his enthusiasm and attention to detail will give us something remarkable!

My sister goes there now and they still have those rules and a few new ones. I understand that it is important for students to dress in a way that is not distracting to other students and that revealing clothing is not acceptable. But some rules, like the dragging pants one, i think is just silly (all my pants hit the floor because i am so short!)another thing i wanted to mention was a story i heard about on the CNN show TalkBack Live recently.

male sex dolls I think fully wiped out units should be able to reanimate from the monolith and be placed within 3″ from it and more than 1″ from enemies. This would make monoliths useful in silver tide strategies and make them more viable. Additionally, there is plenty of counterplay options in the form of removing the monolith or swarming it. male sex dolls
Put one in, gently wiggle it and press and rub around for a bit, then tell her you going to add another finger and ask if that okay. If she says yes then go for it, if not then stop and try later. Communication is key, even if she not talking realistic sex dolls, try asking her questions! "Do you like that?" "Does that hurt?" "Do you want to keep going?" She may not be loud in bed but she can still respond with words or nodding..
Now I have several accounts that I am never/rarely allowed to touch and only in desperate emergencies when I literally have no other way of getting the money. As a side not, there are people who save and people who don there is no one who can even if you subbed to r/povertyfinance there are still saving plans for you, and that sub should help a lot. Good luck Americans and hopefully in a year or two you all be a little more financially secure.

Sure he's racist and a massive asshole, he just dog whistles his bigotry. You're right to point out that both people might feel uncertain about where to go from here.

World / Animals
1/ An infectious fungal disease has driven mass amphibian die-offs worldwide and is responsible for the greatest loss of biodiversity attributable to a single pathogen ever recorded, a global study has found. The disease is contributing to the Earth's sixth mass extinction, the report states, with the findings placing it among the world's most destructive invasive species. Amphibians are sold in restaurants or as pets, creating a "functional Pangaea" for infectious diseases, effectively breaking down geographical barriers that once stopped the dispersal of organisms. Because they feed on insects, amphibians also control vectors of diseases such as zika, chikungunya, yellow fever and others transmitted by mosquitoes. (Science Journal)
World / Plastics
2/ For the second time in two weeks, a whale has washed up dead with plastic packed inside its stomach, wildlife officials said.In the latest grisly discovery, off the coast of Sardinia, Italy, late last week, there were roughly 49 pounds of plastic inside the female sperm whale, along with a dead fetus. The trash included garbage bags, fishing nets and lines, tubes, and a bag of washing machine liquid. On March 16, people in the Philippines made a similar discovery, finding a dead whale that had 88 pounds of plastic inside its stomach. The whale had died from starvation and dehydration from all the junk it had swallowed. (Huffington Post)
World / Climate Change
3/ Insects have "no place to hide" from climate change, scientists have said after analysing 50 years' worth of UK data. The study found that woodlands, whose shade was expected to protect species from warming temperatures, are just as affected by climate change as open grasslands. Researchers are increasingly concerned about dramatic drops in populations of insects, which underpin much of nature. Butterflies have declined by at least 84% in the Netherlands over the last 130 years, according to a study, confirming the crisis affecting insect populations in western Europe. European insect populations shrink as farming leaves 'hardly any room for nature'. (The Guardian / The Guardian 2)
Australia / Climate Change
4/ Researchers have documented what they are describing as the most severe coral bleaching to hit the world's southern-most reef at Lord Howe Island. Lord Howe Island was named a Unesco world heritage site in 1982. It is habitat for species that are found nowhere else on earth. "Our concern now is we're going to start seeing coral mortality." (The Guardian)
Canada / Climate Change
5/ Canada is warming on average at a rate twice as fast as the rest of the world, a new scientific report indicates. Canada's Arctic has seen the deepest impact and will continue to warm at more than double the global rate. The report suggests that many of the effects already seen are probably irreversible. (BBC)
Australia / Environment
6/ Environmental news is rarely good. But even by those low standards, 2018 was especially bad. That is the main conclusion from Australia's Environment in 2018 report. Temperatures went up again, rainfall declined further, and the destruction of vegetation and ecosystems by drought, fire and land clearing continued. Soil moisture, rivers and wetlands all declined, and vegetation growth was poor. In short, the environment took a beating in 2018, and that was even before the oppressive heatwaves, bushfires and Darling River fish kills of January 2019. Another 54 species were added to the official list of threatened species, which now stands at 1,775. That is 47% more than 18 years ago and puts Australia among the world's worst performers in biodiversity protection. Another report this week, Abandoned – Australia's forest wildlife in crisis identified 48 federally-listed threatened species of forest-dwelling vertebrate fauna living in areas subject to state-run logging operations. Four of those species – the leadbeater's possum, swift parrot, western ringtail possum and regent honeyeater – are among the 20 bird and 20 mammal species most likely to become extinct within 20 years. Since the time the Regional Forest Agreements were signed, 11 forest vertebrate species had been raised to "endangered" or "critically endangered" categories, bringing the total to 24, and none had been lowered. Another 15 species were listed as threatened for the first time. Australia has the highest rate of mammal extinction in the world, and a Senate inquiry is examining why the laws are failing to arrest the trend. Fewer than 40% of Australia's threatened species have recovery plans in place (The Conversation / The Guardian)
Australia / Climate Change
7/ The deadly back-to-back bleaching events that hammered the Great Barrier Reef in 2016 & 2017 led to a collapse in new corals. A new study in the journal Nature found that the number of juvenile corals that settled across the entire Great Barrier Reef in 2018 was 89% lower than historical averages before major bleaching events. The U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned in a dire report late last year that the world's tropical reefs could decline by 70 to 90 percent with an average global rise of 1.5 degrees Celsius from preindustrial temperatures ― the upper limit that is the goal of the Paris Climate Accord. At 2 degrees Celsius warming, 99 percent of reefs could be lost. (Huffington Post)
Asia / Animals
8/ Singaporean authorities made a record seizure of nearly 13 tonnes of pangolin scales worth some $38.7 million. Local media reported that some 17,000 pangolins were killed to fill the bags, which were packed in a shipment declared as containing "frozen beef". Another 177 kgs (390 pounds) of cut and carved elephant ivory worth about $88,500 were also found alongside the scales. The animals, are highly sought after by traditional medicine traders in countries such as China and Vietnam. (The Jakarta Post)
The good news…
Australia / Animals
9/ Sharks can no longer be culled on the Great Barrier Reef after a landmark court ruling overturned an Australian government culling scheme. Nearly 200 defensive fishing lines are used in Queensland to kill them, and while many sharks drown after being caught on these lines, others are found alive and shot. Since 2016, more than 500 sharks have died as a result of prevention measures in the region. The court found tiger sharks had undergone a serious decline. (Independent)
Laos / Environment
10/ The Laos government has created two national parks in northern and central Laos to protect forests, biodiversity, natural beauty and the country's geological development. The conservation of the parks and their usage as tourist sites will help the government to maintain economic growth and protect natural resources sustainably. (Eleven)
Belize / Oceans
11/ In a bold step for the sustainability of its fisheries and the world's second largest barrier reef, the government of Belize has approved a plan to set aside 10% of its territorial waters as no-take marine protected areas (MPAs), tripling the size of its existing zones. In 2016, in response to growing threats to the health of their fisheries, Belize established a nationwide secure fishing rights program, the first of its kind in the world. (EDF)
Other notables…
Fueled by climate change, extreme weather disasters hit 62 million people in 2018. In its yearly "State of the Climate" report, the World Meteorological Organization said the planet's biggest weather woes last year were floods (which swamped some 35 million people), and droughts, which affected another 9 million. (WMO)
- A US government climate change advisory group scrapped by Donald Trump has reassembled independently to call for better adaptation to the floods, wildfires and other threats that increasingly loom over American communities. The panel is now known as the Science to Climate Action Network (Scan) and has now completed work it would have finished for the federal government, releasing a report on Thursday warning that Americans are being put at risk from the impacts of a warming planet due to a muddled response to climate science. (The Guardian)
- The Galápagos Islands are supposedly one of the most pristine locations on the planet, but plastic pollution arriving by sea is threatening this unique habitat and wildlife. (The Guardian)
- CO2 greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere are likely higher today than ever before in the past 3 million years. During this time, global mean temperatures never exceeded preindustrial levels by more than 2 degrees C. The study is based on breakthrough computer simulations of ice age onset in Earth's past climate. (Phys)
- Maryland is expected to become the first U.S. state to ban foam food packaging, takeout containers and cups. Foam food containers have been banned in cities or counties in 11 states, including Seattle, Portland, Ore., Washington D.C., San Francisco, and numerous other cities in California. A ban in New York City took effect at the beginning of this year after a lengthy legal battle. (National Geographic)

As it often does, my day started with a quick peek at the open pull requests. We had two similar classes, one which had a parent class and one which didn't. The discussion centered around whether or not the second class should also inherit from the parent class since it had very similar functionality. In the end we decided that there should be no parent class. After all, these days the mantra is, "Avoid inheritance and embrace composition".
"But why?"
You have to understand that this was a Monday morning and the object model was obviously improved by our actions. One more code smell gone. On to bigger and better problems!
"Why should we avoid inheritance?"
Sometimes I think my hearing needs checking. Often I find that when I am particularly chuffed with my efforts and trying to remember where I hid the good coffee beans I get this annoying voice in my head. Best just to ignore it.
"What makes composition better?"
This time it was my IM pinging at me. Dawid was kindly reminding me that I should really think about this problem. I guess there is no getting around it. "Just say that Erich Gamma says composition is better than inheritance and get back to looking for the coffee", I thought. Erich Gamma knows way more about OOD than I do, so it must be right.
"So exactly how do you use Strategy Pattern in place of inheritance?"
This inner voice was seriously disrupting my carefully cultivated Winnie-the-Pooh, Zen-like state of mind. Oh well, it's not like I would ever remember where I hid the coffee. Everyone knows that it's twice as hard to find coffee than it is to hide it. I was quite clever in hiding it, so there is no chance I will ever find it again.
Of course I know the answer to this question. How could I not? I've spent decades writing object models, both good and bad. I've made every mistake and then made them again just to be sure they were actually mistakes. I know from all this experience that it always works out better if you avoid inheritance unless you need it. And this is how you have to think:
… Maybe I should just go back to looking for the coffee.
Knowing something to be true and being able to say why it is true are different things. As humbling as it may be, sometimes knowing something to be true and it actually being true are different things. Is it really true in this case? Erich Gamma said so. So did a lot of other people. But to be honest, I have seen precious few good descriptions of this issue. Pretty much all I see on the internet are a list of good natured assertions. Isn't that good enough? After all, Erich Gamma and everybody on the internet can't be wrong!
Well, I finally spotted this brilliant explanation by Bernie Sumption. For those of you who tend to skim past the links, let me tantalize you with the fact this article includes examples with both Star Wars and hippos.
It is often much more difficult to understand when to use inheritance than it might first appear. When I first replied to Dawid's innocent question, I spouted the normal nonsense of:
"Use inheritance when you have a clear IS-A relationship and where you do not invalidate the Liskov Substitution Principle." The problem is that even when you think you have a clear cut IS-A relationship, it might still be better to implement it using something like the strategy pattern.
The classic example of an IS-A relationship is the decomposition of employees. One could argue that an employee is a person and workers and managers are employees. But you could also look at it another way. A person has a job. The job has a role. What makes someone a manager is the kind of role they have. Should we use inheritance for the role, with worker and manager roles? Or should the role have worker and management responsibilities?
At some point you start to think that you can replace all inheritance in a system with composition. Since you have more flexibility with composition it seems to make sense to always use composition. Are there times when you should use inheritance?
I think the answer is "yes" and to see why it is instructive to look at the Composite Pattern. In this pattern, everything is a component. There are two kinds of components: a leaf component, and a composite. The composite is made up of components. Component is the base class, while leaf and composite are the child classes.
The important thing to consider is that the composite pattern does not use the base class in order to share code. Instead it is there to share the interface. Presumably, we have a tree structure and we want to iterate over it using the interface on component. Other design patterns such as the Bridge Pattern use inheritance in the same way.
When you have a clear IS-A relationship and you want to use all the objects through the base class's interface, then inheritance can be a good way to go. It is certainly not a tool that I would throw out of the tool chest lightly. However, if you want to deal with the derived classes through their own interfaces, it often makes much more sense to use composition.

Here is a handmade zipped pouch, made from a banner that was going to waste.
The zipped pouch has a zip that measures 10 3/4 " long and this is also the length of the pouch. The height of the pouch 9" approx. Made in Cornwall. These pouches are perfect for holding items together that you don't want to lose and are super easy to wipe clean.
Please note, as this item is hand made with recycled materials, not everything is precise but this is the beauty of the product. All measurements are as accurate as I can get them but approximate. If you like something I make or want it a bit different or can't seem something you like but would want, please message me. Flotsam Flo is based in Cornwall and we make bags, dog coats and accessories from broken inflatables, paddling pools and inner tubes.

We regret that the 2021 register revamp no longer requires NGOs and think tanks to submit a figure for an annual lobby spend. We will continue to provide such a figure in the notes below.

Since November 2022, we declare all campaign and external communication staff as working 50% on activities aimed at directly and indirectly influencing the EU institutions. We think this reflects the objectives and work that CEO staff do including producing research, holding events, and communicating about the corporate influence upon the EU institutions. Not all 13 persons mentioned above worked for CEO for the full year of 2022, and as mentioned above, we estimate these worked 50% of their time on EU influencing. Overall, the total figure would be the equivalent of 5 FTE. We consider that if other registrants, in particular corporations, trade associations, consultancies, and law firms, took a similar approach and fully declared staff and budget spent directly and indirectly influencing the institutions, the amounts declared would substantially increase.

A comparison of conditions in the outback on either side of Australia's dingo fence has revealed that extermination of these apex predators not only affects the abundance of other animals and plants, but also reduces the quality of the soil.
The UNSW study indicates greater control of kangaroo numbers is needed across a third of the Australian continent where dingoes are rare, to reduce damage on ecosystems.
"We have shown for the first time that the presence of dingoes is linked to healthier soils, because they suppress the numbers of kangaroos that graze on the vegetation," says study senior author UNSW Associate Professor Mike Letnic.
The research by Associate Professor Letnic and his honours research student Timothy Morris is published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
The dingo fence was erected more than a century ago to keep dingoes out of eastern Australia, and extends approximately 5600 kilometres across the states of South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland.
Dingoes are common on the western side of the fence, but rare on the other side, due to intensive control measures including poisoning, trapping and shooting over many decades. This latter area includes most of NSW and Victoria, and southern Queensland and southern South Australia.
"The fence provides a unique opportunity to test the effects of the removal of an apex predator on herbivore abundance, vegetation and nutrients in the…

Handling Dystocia on the Farm (AAEP 2011)
- January 24, 2012
- Posted by Erica Larson
In an ideal world, every broodmare would foal under veterinary supervision at a clinic with the latest technology at arm's length for correcting any potentially life threatening health emergencies. In reality equine practitioners often have to deal with dystocias–difficult births–in the field.
During a presentation at the 2011 American Association of Equine Practitioners convention, held Nov. 18-22 in San Antonio, Texas, Terry Blanchard, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACT, discussed approaches for managing dystocias in a farm setting. Blanchard, a professor of theriogenology in Texas A&M University's Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, also described when and how to manage referral care. "To be able to successfully intervene in equine dystocia in a farm setting first requires an adequate understanding of normal parturition and knowledge of the causes of dystocia," Blanchard explained.
The birthing process takes place in stages, he continued. Stage 1 (marked by the start of uterine contractions and cervical dilation), which can last anywhere from 30 minutes to four hours, is when the foal moves into birthing position prior to rupture of the chorioallantois, or the fetal membrane, ("breaking water") and the actual birth. Stage 2 ("active labor") often lasts only 20 to 30 minutes and is when the foal proceeds through the birth canal and into the world.
"Suspect dystocia if either Stage 1 or 2 is prolonged or interrupted," Blanchard said. "Call in a vet for assistance. Early intervention improves the chance of success

After a brief time with a DSLR, I came back to film photography, and is what I primarily shoot, though the occasional DSLR or iPhone shot does make an appearance in my portfolio.
Beyond that I'm an avid a car guy who enjoys the strange and the quirky and has a great appreciation different engineering solutions as they appeared in different manufacturers thorough out history.
This engineering interest extends to old computers as well. When not fixing a car, many times I can be found working on and using computers from the 1980's.
Beyond that, I engage in a large range of creative pursuits, of which this blog is but one example. Other places to find me which are not strictly photography related:

Breeon A.
Growing up, life treated me pretty well. I was surrounded by people who loved and cared for me. I was a great athlete and made friends really easily. I was a star football player in high school, and went on to play college ball. Whenever the Covid-19 pandemic occurred, I found that occasional drinking quickly escalated to problem drinking. I was no longer able to work and found comfort and relief in alcohol. I found that numbing internal pain with alcohol allowed me to feel free for the time being. My alcoholism continued to get worse and worse until it reached the point that I understood something drastic had to be done, or the addiction may have claimed my life. I decided to enter Teen Challenge not only to become clean and sober, but to get closer to the Lord. Additionally, I entered the program lacking purpose and identity. I now know that those two things come from God and God alone. I am ready for the Lord to guide and direct my life now.

Looking back to look forward.
Like any other great movement in history, sometimes looking back is the best way to help us look forward.
The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) was enacted in November 2013 by Congress, which has set off a series of changes for companies all along the pharmaceutical supply chain.
"What the pharmaceutical industry is focusing on now is the next major U.S. milestone, which is November of 2017, where the manufacturers are having to put a serial number with the GS1 DataMatrix sometimes referred as a 2D barcode," said Peter Sturtevant, GS1 US Senior Director, Pharmaceuticals.
It isn't until November of 2023 that unit-level traceability is expected to be in place.
Although seven years may seem like a lot of time, it really isn't—not with all of the new technologies and processes that need to be implemented and the data that needs to be managed.
GS1 US defines traceability (in healthcare) as the process that "enables you to see the movement of prescription drugs or medical devices across the supply chain. You can trace backwards to identify the history of the transfers and locations of a product, from the point of manufacture onwards. And you can track forwards to see the intended route of the product towards the point of care."
"When you say 'track and trace in the supply chain,' usually what you're trying to do is say I would like to know information about the drug products that are produced, distributed, and dispensed in the supply chain, and information about what happens—what events occur—to those drug products as they move from manufacturer to dispenser and (ultimately) into the patient's hands," said Brian Daleiden, VP of Industry Marketing, TraceLink. "Traceability is information about the products and their journey—from inception to the patient."
According to GS1 US, the four types of events to be aware of when monitoring the movements and whereabouts of products in the supply chain are:
- What products are impacted?
- When did this time-stamped event occur?
- Where was the product? Where is it now?
- Why was this observed, which process step?
"For the most part, the FDA is going to allow the industry to develop the procedures, processes, and activities to meet the requirements that were defined in the act that became law in 2013 [the DSCSA]," explained Sturtevant. "They aren't going to dictate the means to the end. They've defined the end, and now it's the responsibility of the trading partners to develop how they're going to meet those requirements."
But how do we define the means to the end? Well, let's start by laying down the building blocks to that end.
The Three Keystones of Traceability
"There's three underpinnings, which are implemented in various ways, in various forms in the U.S. and in other countries," said Daleiden.
1. Serialization
The first part is serialization—establishing unique identity at a certain level of granularity in packaging for products that are produced by the manufacturer or repackager. Serialization, according to Daleiden, is the establishment of a unique identity for a drug product across one or more packaging levels of that product.
"It could be the creation of a unique identity at the smallest saleable unit (or the sales pack)," Daleiden explained. "It could be the establishment of a unique identity for a case of product that may contain a number of various units. It could be the unique identity for a bundle or a pallet. There's multiple different levels of serialization that are created.
"Serialization is one step beyond traditional product identity."
The typical steps of traditional product identity are identifying the following:
- Unique product via its product identity
- Lot number
- Expiration date
"Prior to serialization, products would be uniquely identified down to the batch (batch-level identification of a unique product). Serialization, generally, adds at least one more data element, which is a unique serial number for a certain packaging level. . . . Any one country or regulation could mandate one or more of those," said Daleiden.
2. Track and Trace
"Then you have track and trace," said Daleiden, adding that serialization and track and trace are related, but slightly different.
"Traceability, or product tracing, is the ability to know where a product has been," said Daleiden.
Daleiden breaks down the differences between tracking and tracing:
- "Tracking is often times thought of as more of a forward view—where is a product right now in the supply chain and capturing information about that product as it moves through the supply chain."
- "Tracing is more of a historical view—let me see where the product has been or who has owned it."
Where a product has been—its history—could be:
- Understanding the changes of ownership of a drug product
- Going back in time to a certain point (such as back to the original manufacturer)
- Tracing a product's movements even if the product has not changed hands
"As an example, the United States has a product tracing requirement for each change of ownership of drug product. Now, that's different than the existing requirements in Brazil. Brazil has what you'd consider a tracking requirement in law today," said Daleiden. "Thereby, the manufacturer needs to acquire all product movement of a product as it moves through the supply chain."
3. Verification
"The third piece is verification," said Daleiden. "If you've established unique identity via serialization or you've established traceability of transactions associated with product—either change of ownership or product movement—can you verify that information about the products or transactions at one or more places in the supply chain?"
Laws and regulations, according to Daleiden, will have requirements to verify the serial number, transaction history, and different countries will implement different types of verification.
"Verification is also part of the regulation, which says that in the case of a potentially suspect product/in the case of accepting saleable returns for a serialized product, we will ask to verify the information about the product or about the transactions of that product," Daleiden explained. "There's different types of verification that DSCSA phases in to verify different information about serialized identity, tracing history—all of this comes together in 2023, where serialization and track-and-trace/product tracing, and verification capabilities all are supposed to be merged together in a unit-level traceability system, which is yet to be defined for the U.S."
The Fourth Keystone of Traceability
"There's really three key elements in traceability," said Daleiden, which are serialization, track and trace, and verification. From a regulatory perspective, however, there's a fourth one:
4. Government Reporting
In short, government reporting is reporting information about one or more of those key elements of traceability. In other words, it is reporting data to the government about the other three elements (serialization, track and trace, and verification).
Going Forward
"Some people look upon serialization as an end in itself (creating a unique identity)," said Daleiden. "If I create a unique identity or serialize a product, then I am protecting patient safety or fighting counterfeiting.
"It's important to realize that serialization by itself is just a means to an end."
According to Daleiden, serialization is enabling you to have a better, more granular view of the drug products that are moving through the supply chain. But unless you're doing something with that data—meaning, you are scanning the barcode, exchanging information about the serial numbers with trading partners, etc.—you are not actually creating any benefit from the investments you are making in serialization.
"There's serialization and then there's what to do with that serialized identity—and you have to think of both of those pieces," said Daleiden. "It's that step of taking the serialization data and doing something with it."

Do you remember the letter from Soldini 's disappointed admirer comparing him to Buffalo Bill (youcan find it here), which had sparked a heated debate as well as Vittorio Malingri 's lengthy response ("you try it in the ocean!", read it HERE)? Well, someone took the trouble to respond to Malingri.
Listen to what Piero Fresi, 73 years old from Sassari, a past solo sailor, wrote us.
"I want to link back to what I read in the G.D.V.: these days Vittorio Malingri, instigated by a reader about Soldini's new defeat, goes further and touches on so many points in ocean sailing. I agree with him in principle, but I could not help but notice that in his lengthy statement he does not mention at all the "ROMANTIC" sailing so classified by me.
What were the accomplishments of J. Slocum, Vito Dumas, B. Moitessier good for? etc.. Do you have to be part of the racing world to appear anywhere?. I don't understand why everything is associated with just speed, which is very sneaky these days because it has been well understood lately that luck is a big component.
Let me explain further. If I don't lose my keel, slam my rudders or foils somewhere I certainly get a good result, so, to put it in Vittorio Malingri's way it all sounds like bullshit to me. I do not believe for example that Australian navigator J. Sanders did not make his mark having, he, made 3 consecutive world tours.
By this I mean that in addition to rewarding speed, it is also important to recognize that being in the oceans for a long time, exposed to everything, with slow boats, is not exactly a walk in the park. At this point I wouldn't know which of the two deserves the appellative of "navigator" because upon closer inspection, today's ocean navigator has perhaps more the figure of an athlete, if not a tightrope walker, a figure very far removed from the true navigator understood as such.
In 2018 there is a repeat of the "Golden Globe" for its 50th anniversary, to be raced in old-fashioned 32- to 36-foot boats. I expected many modern navigators to sign up , but this was not the case, with the exception of Jean Luc Van den Heede. Emblematic in this regard was Loyck Peyron's response to Vittorio Malingri.
It would have been a chance for some of them to show that in addition to being able to race in the boats we know well, they were just as good at being at sea for several months in those other boats. I am sure that the event would have received as much media interest as and perhaps more than following a Vendée Globe. Then what do we want to say about those sailors who are better at navigating social than in reality? How do we classify them? Perhaps Vittorio Malingri is right in saying that sailing in general is a big "crap!"

Your safety is our top priority. Every decision that we make is rooted in conducting safe operations. It starts with our guide training, experience and knowledge. All of our guides are trained in emergency care with current EMT, WFR, and/or OEC certifications. Additionally, our Chief Guide is a licensed Physician's Assistant.
We require that all senior level and above guides must have at least a professional level 2 avalanche certification, and our junior level guides (those who do not yet lead their own groups in the field) are working on attaining their professional level 1 and level 2 certifications. Many of our guides are avalanche course instructors and work as operational leads for other avalanche forecasting operations, ski patrol, and other guide operations.
Pulseline is a professional avalanche forecasting operation. We observe and record weather and snowpack data in Alaska starting in the fall when the annual snowpack begins all the way through the conclusion of the season. During our daily morning guide meetings we have a comprehensive discussion on weather and snowpack to develop an avalanche forecast and strategic mindset for the day. Guides collect snow pit and weather data each day during heli-skiing operations to aid in developing our avalanche and snow safety forecasts.
Each guest completes our indoor safety briefing and outdoor avalanche safety briefing including demonstrations and hands-on practice using an avalanche transceiver to search for a buried transceiver, and proper probing and digging techniques to extract a buried transceiver.
Our guides are exceedingly experienced with some of the deepest knowledge in the heli-skiing industry and a comprehensive understanding of terrain, snowpack, and weather conditions in Alaska. Collectively we've guided thousands of skiers and snowboarders in the Chugach Mountains. Many of our guides pioneered terrain and established protocols for guided heli-skiing operations in Alaska. Our guides are trained in avalanche and snow safety forecasting, heli-skiing operations, crevasse/high-angle rescue – and all are expert skiers or snowboarders with excellent physical fitness.
