Brand: IO INCARCERATE
Company: APPARENT
FORMULATION: «pour-on» for topical administration as a single strip along the backline.
ACTIVE INGREDIENT(S): Deltamethrin: 1.5% = 15.0 g/L
CHEMICAL CLASS of the active ingredient(s): synthetic pyrethroids
PARASITES CONTROLLED (spectrum of activity)
- Biting and nuisance flies: stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans), houseflies (Musca domestica) and synthetic pyrethroid susceptible buffalo flies (Haematobia irritans exigua), biting midges (Culicoides spp)
- Biting & sucking lice (incl. Damalinia = Bovicola bovis, Haematopinus eurysternus and Linognathus vituli).
- Biting flies: stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans), buffalo flies (Haematobia irritans exigua).
- Culicoides brevitarsus (biting midges)
- Cattle & Horses: 5 ml product / 100 kg bw, equivalent to 0.75 mg deltamethrin / kg bw
- LD50 (acute oral) in rats: 31-5000 mg/kg depending on the carrier (for the a.i.)
- LD50 (acute dermal) in rats: >2000 mg/kg (for the a.i.)
- Estimated hazard class according to the WHO: III, slightly hazardous
Suspected poisoning? Read the article on deltamethrin safety in this site.
Withholding periods (=withdrawal times) in days for meat & milk (country-specific differences may apply: read the product label)
- Cattle: Meat: NIL; ESI 21 days; Milk for human consumption: NIL
- Horses: NOT TO BE USED on horses that may be slaughtered for human consumption.
WARNING !!!: Never use on humans, dogs or cats. Synthetic pyrethroids are toxic to cats!
2nd-generation synthetic pyrethroids (e.g. cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, permethrin, etc.) are irritant to the eyes and the skin, both of humans and livestock. The inert ingredients in the formulation may worsen this side effect. Irritation can be particularly problematic for dairy cows because it can significantly hinder handling for milking.
You may be interested in the following articles in this site dealing with the general safety of veterinary products:
- Safety for humans
- Safety for domestic animals
- Safety for the environment
- Hazard classifications of pesticides
Risk of resistance? YES, resistance of houseflies as well as horn & buffalo flies to synthetic pyrethroids (incl. deltamethrin) is widespread worldwide and can be very high. Cases of resistance of stable flies and little house flies to synthetic pyrethroids have also been reported, but prevalence is usually low.
This means that if this product does not achieve the expected efficacy against the mentioned parasites, it can be due to resistance and not to incorrect use, which is usually the most frequent cause of product failure.
Alternative chemical classes/active ingredients to prevent resistance of external parasites through product rotation:
- Macrocyclic lactones (e.g. doramectin, eprinomectin, ivermectin, moxidectin, etc.) only as pour-ons. Injectables and drenches are ineffective against most external parasites.
- Organophosphates (e.g. diazinon)
These alternative products may not be available in all countries, or may not be available as pour-ons, or may not be effective against all the concerned parasites.
This product is approved for the control of buffalo flies (Haematobia irritans exigua) susceptible to synthetic pyrethroids. Unfortunately, such susceptible flies have become quite rare in Australia and elsewhere. In fact, most products with synthetic pyrethroids similar to this one are no more approved for the control of buffalo flies on cattle.
It is surprising that this product should work against buffalo flies on horses. To our knowledge it has not been shown so far that those buffalo flies that land on horses are less resistant to synthetic pyrethroids than those than land on cattle. In fact, it would be a rather surprising and unique discovery.

Are the active ingredients of this product ORIGINAL* or GENERICS**?
*Meaning that they are still patent protected and generics are not yet available
**Meaning that they have lost patent protection and may be acquired from manufacturers of generic active ingredients other than the holder of the original patent.

IO INCARCERATE Pour-on for Cattle & Horeses is one of the numerous insecticidal pour-ons for cattle and other livestock containing synthetic pyrethroids for the control of flies, lice, mites, ticks and other external parasites. Worldwide there are hundreds if not thousands of such pour-ons. Besides deltamethrin, numerous other synthetic pyrethroids are used in such pour-ons, e.g. cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, permethrin, etc. They all have a similar spectrum of activity and a comparable safety profile.
Deltamethrin is a last-generation synthetic pyrethroid introduced in the late 1970s (BUTOX by ROUSSEL-UCLAF → INTERVET → MERCK ANIMAL HEALTH). It has a broad-spectrum of activity against insects, ticks and mites. During the last decades of the last century it has been very much used against agricultural, domestic and veterinary pests. Nowadays usage has declined because numerous pests (e.g. cattle ticks, horn & buffalo flies, houseflies, sheep body lice, fleas, mosquitoes, cockroaches, etc.) have developed resistance to most synthetic pyrethroids (incl. deltamethrin).
All synthetic pyrethroids are veteran pesticides developed in the 1970s-1980s and are basically contact insecticides. This means that when the parasite comes in contact with it (e.g., during the blood meal, after landing on a treated host, etc), the active ingredient that impregnates the host's hair coat penetrates through the cuticle of the parasite (the "skin" of insects and other arthropods) into its organism and disturbs essential biological processes in the parasite's body, in this case its nervous system.
After administration to livestock or other animals, synthetic pyrethroids do not have a systemic mode of action, i.e. they are not transmitted to the parasite through the blood or the host. Topically administered synthetic pyrethroids are very poorly absorbed through the skin of the hosts, and what is absorbed is quickly broken down and/or excreted. Consequently the concentration reached in the blood is too low to kill blood-sucking parasites. But this is why they are considered rather safe for mammals, both humans and livestock (cats are an exception: pyrethroids are toxic to them!) and why they leave rather low residues in meat and milk.
All pour-ons containing contact insecticides such as synthetic pyrethroids have the same weakness: they are applied on the back of the animal and spread more or less quickly along the hair coat to other parts of the body, but coverage is usually not homogeneous and some parts of the body are not or only poorly reached. How fast and complete the spreading is depends on a lot of factors (e.g. distance to the delivery point, rain, animal behavior such as grooming, licking, rubbing, etc.) but also on the inert ingredients in the formulation, which may or may not favor spreading. In any case, compared with the backline the concentration of the active ingredient will be significantly lower in body parts that are difficult to reach (e.g. udders, perineum, below the tail, inside the ears, etc), where parasites can survive because the concentration is not high enough to kill them. For this reason such pour-ons are mostly not effective enough against parasites such as ticks & fleas. Irregular spreading may also cause chronic exposure of some parasites to sub-lethal doses, which is known to favor development of resistance.
Control of susceptible (i.e. non-resistant) buffalo flies is usually good, because they spend a lot of time on cattle and thus are exposed to the insecticide for a long period of time. But as already mentioned, horn & buffalo flies have developed high resistance to all synthetic pyrethroids in Australia and elsewhere. Lice are also exposed to topical insecticides for a long period of time because they never leave the host. However stable flies bite the treated animal anywhere in its body and remain attached and thus exposed to the insecticide only during their blood meals that last a few seconds or minutes, which is often too short to kill them. Trying to control housefly populations with on-animal topical products is usually ineffective. The simple reason is that they spend most of their time off the animals.
All synthetic pyrethroids have a certain repellent effect, mainly on mosquitoes but it lasts usually only a few days, if at all. The repellent effect on flies is weaker than on mosquitoes.
It is useful to know that the active ingredients of many synthetic pyrethroids consist in a mixture of various optical isomers, typically those called "cis", and those called "trans", which have different efficacy and toxicity. Deltamethrin is an exception to this because it consists of a single isomer.

The villages of Zagori
A cluster of 48 traditional picturesque villages, built amphitheatrically in the wider area of Timfi, Pindos and Mitiskeli (Zagori region). Zagori's natural environment is exquisite and perfect for many outdoor activities. The local architecture is defined by stone, wood and slate rock. The name "Zagori" is Slavic and means "beyond the mountains". During Ottoman rule, the area reached its economic and intellectual peak. However, Zagori declined after Ali Pasha's death (1822) when it lost the benefits it enjoyed. The wars of the 20th century also had devastating effects. Zagori is divided into Western, Central and Eastern Zagori.
Western Zagori (west of Tymphe Mt.)
Ano Pedina. A well-preserved traditional village, built near a plateau (altitude 960 m). Home to a number of eminent thinkers and national benefactors. The Monastery of Evagelistria (1793), contains icons from the 17th-19th century. It is located 35.5 km NW of Ioannina.
Vitsa. A traditional Epirus village which consists of Ano (Upper) and Kato (Lower) Vitsa. As the birthplace of important historical figures, the village has many wonderful mansions. Skala of Vitsa leads to the double-arch bridge of Misios, while archaeological digs on route to Monodendri have unearthed a settlement and two graveyards. It is located 36 km NW of Ioannina.
Kato Pedina. Known for its stone threshers and ostrich farm. Kato Pedina is built atop a plateau (altitude 940 m) where ancient graves have been discovered. The chapel of Aghios Nikolaos Vastanion-Kalivion dates back to the 15th century. It is located 37.5 km NW of Ioannina.
Monodendri. A designated traditional settlement (altitude 1,060 m), with stone houses and picturesque cobble roads, where the Rizario Centre of Handicrafts, with traditional broidery weavings operates. It is located at the entrance of the Vikos gorge. The cobblestone trail leading to the Monastery of Aghia Paraskevi (15th century) and continuing through the gorge is wonderful. It is located 39 km NW of Ioannina.
Elafotopos. Elafotopos stands out from the rest of Zagorohoria for its wonderful traditional architecture, its elaborate town planning and the impressive location it is built in (altitude 1,100 m). The churches of Aghios Georgios and Kimisi tis Theotokou contain gold-plated rood screens and old icons. The location "Kastro" contains traces of the fortified settlement of the Molossians. It is located 40.5 km NW of Ioannina.
Aristi. A gorgeous traditional Epirus village, where findings from the Paleolithic period have been discovered. The "Stamatis Mansion" is an exceptional sample of the local architecture. The Monastery of Panagia Spileotisas (16th century), built in a beautiful location near the banks of the Voidomatis river. "Kastraki", with its panoramic view, contains ancient findings. The route at "Kagelia" from the Voidomatis bridge towards Papigo, is charming. It is located 48 km NW of Ioannina.
Vikos. This traditional Zahori village is built on the edge of the Vikos gorge (altitude 770 m) where the national part of Vikos-Aoos begins. After 30 minutes of hiking along the trail, you arrive at the springs of the Voidomatis river, an ideal place for excursions and mountain sports. It is located 53 km NW of Ioannina.
Papigo – Mikro Papigo. Designated traditional villages of Zagori, with a developed tourism infrastructure and woodcraft workshop. They are two of the most popular villages of the Zagori region and are located within the national park of Vikos-Aoos (altitude 960 m). The two villages which are the starting point for excursions in wonderful natural scenery are connected by a trail. The trail passes by "Ovires" or "Rogova", two small, natural lakes suitable for swimming in the summer. They also offer a view to Astraka, the peak of mount Timfi, while the underground cave "Provatina" in the area is the second deepest in the world. The elementary school in Papigo houses the well-organized Zagori Nature and Culture Information Centre. They are located 59 and 61.5 km NW of Ioannina respectively.
Central Zagori (between Tymphe Mt. and Mitsikeli Mt.)
Asprageli. Base of the Municipality of Central Zagori, Asprageli was one of the most prosperous villages of Zagori during the 19th century (altitude 1.000 m).

It's time to gather the family together for the talk. Not that talk — the talk about what to do for Thanksgiving this year as the pandemic rolls on.
It has been months since many of us have seen extended family — we're longing to check in on aging parents, to see old friends from back home, etc. But even though Thanksgiving often conjures up pictures of big happy reunions, how safe is it to make them a reality?
"Right now, in many areas of the country, COVID-19 rates are starting to surge again," says Dr. Tina Tan, pediatric infectious disease specialist at the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago and professor of pediatrics at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. Tan fears that the lure of holiday parties as well as more indoor activity because of the colder weather may result in more illnesses.
But if your heart is set on having a get-together, there are some things you can do to protect yourself, Tan says.
First, make sure you know who is attending and if you are traveling, how you'll get there. You need to know what coronavirus transmission rates are in the area you live and where you're going, Tan says. You can use NPR's coronavirus tracker to check this.
"Unfortunately, you're not really going to know that until fairly close to when you want to travel because these [transmission rates] are changing really rapidly," she says.
Family trip road trip
The safest way to travel is to drive, Tan says. The main risks in a road trip are the stops along the way, such as at restaurants, gas stations, or public restrooms.
"I would recommend you do anything you can to limit your exposure," says Dr. Ravina Kullar, an epidemiologist and spokesperson for the Infectious Diseases Society of America. "If you have to fill up the gas tank, put gloves on and use hand sanitizer" and wear a mask, she says.
That's what Clay Alling is planning to do — take a family road trip to the coast. Alling is a chef and general manager for a group of British pubs called Baker St. Pub & Grill, all located in Texas.
He often makes Thanksgiving dinners and delivers them to customers in the Houston area, where he lives.
"Not this past Thanksgiving, the one before that, I did 55 turkeys, I did 300 pounds of mashed potatoes, 100 pounds of green beans ... 42 dozen eggs, 12 dozen yeast rolls ... 12 cherry pies, 15 pecan pies, 28 pumpkin pies. It was crazy."
But he's not doing that this year. The pandemic has hit his business hard and has forced adaptations like expanding the food menu at many locations and implementing extensive safety protocols to reopen. He has been working harder than ever this year.
"I'm gonna take a break," he says. "We're going to get some kind of relaxation into everybody's lives."
This year, Alling will take his wife, their three children and his elderly father-in-law (who lives next door and whom the family has been caring for) to the beach for a Thanksgiving escape. They're going to rent a house, which is pretty safe, Tan says.
"You just have to make sure the cabin or whatever you're renting has been cleaned thoroughly so there's not the risk of someone having COVID that was just there ... and it's still on the surfaces or in the air."
But what about flying?
Thanksgiving is traditionally one of the busiest times of the year for air travel. The Transportation Security Administration screened a record-breaking 26 million passengers over the holiday in 2018.
The airlines are enforcing mask-wearing more consistently than they were at the beginning of the pandemic, Tan says, and they are seating people farther apart. Same with trains.
"The planes themselves are actually very safe. I mean, their air circulation system is better than the air circulation system in many homes," she says.
A recent report in the Journal of Travel Medicine suggests that strict mask-wearing policies on planes is particularly effective. Scientists studied all Emirates airline flights from Dubai to Hong Kong between June 16 and July 5 and found that although Emirates had 58 coronavirus-positive passengers flying on eight-hour trips, nobody else on those flights got sick.
"I think your biggest risk is at the airport," says Tan, where the situation is less predictable. There are more people and fewer controls.
Precautions before you gather
Even if there's no travel involved, gathering indoors with extended family and friends can be risky, especially if there's an older or high-risk person in your group.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says people 65 years and older are at higher risk for getting a severe case of COVID-19. About 80% of deaths in the U.S. from COVID-19 have been of people in this age group.
You'll need to agree on some ground rules in the weeks leading up to your feast. To be really on the safe side, you would try to quarantine for two weeks before the day, or take as many precautions as practical.
Holly Provan, a cardiac rehab nurse at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena, Calif., plans to spend Thanksgiving weekend with her family and friends in a shared cabin in the woods in the tiny town of Lake Arrowhead, a few hours drive away. To do that as safely as possible, Provan says she will stop working for a week before the trip, keep everyone in the house socially distant from others, shop exclusively online and take a COVID-19 test.
"We're making some sacrifices for that week before just to make sure we're all extra careful and that they feel safe," she says.
Sharing a cabin with another family or extended family can be relatively low-risk, says Tan, if everyone attending has been following good hygiene practices — hand-washing, social distancing as much as possible and mask-wearing — in the days or weeks leading up to the event.
And when you're not eating, ideally you should be wearing a mask. "I know it's very awkward, but that's going to be the way you can keep your family and the other family safe," Tan says.
Tan suggests one other precaution before the event: Make sure everybody has a flu shot. "You don't want to bring something else into the mix."
As for COVID-19 tests, Tan says they are not a guarantee.
"Basically what we know about these tests is it only tells you at that particular point in time what your status is," she says. The tests often fail to show when someone is carrying COVID if their exposure has been very recent. They are more accurate five to seven days from exposure, and often, you just don't know when you were exposed, she says. Plus, many people are asymptomatic.
Safer at home sweet home
The safest thing to do is stay home with the people in your own household. That's what Leigh Anne Pineda plans to do. Pineda lives in a garden apartment building with her husband and two children in Burbank, Calif. She works in a credit union, and her youngest child is asthmatic, which puts him at a higher risk for complications from COVID-19.
Although her family is nearby and has been helping with the kids from time to time, Pineda has decided to make this Thanksgiving the one holiday where it's just the four of them.
"I think it's really easy to get engulfed in all the bustle of the holiday and not really enjoy it because there's so many people and there's so much going on and you've got to say 'hi' to these people and clean up all the mess," Pineda says. This year, they're going to ignore the laundry and the dishes and just enjoy one another's company.
And they might even cook something completely untraditional. Her husband is a chef of Filipino descent and might just put some pancit and pork belly on the table. "I'm not going to lie. I'm not the biggest fan of turkey," she says.
And, she's actually looking forward to avoiding the sometimes-exhausting extended family gathering. "Now I have an excuse to stay home!" she says.

Building Permits Surge In December; Signals A Strong Spring Housing Market
01/20/2011 By admin Leave a Comment
Each month, in conjunction with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Census Bureau releases its New Residential Construction report. The report is comprised of several sections, one of which counts the number of homes that have "broken ground" nationwide.
They're called "Housing Starts" and, by most measures, they faded quickly as 2010 came to a close.
According to the Census Bureau's report, Housing Starts of single-family homes fell to 417,000 units on a seasonally-adjusted, annual basis. The figure marks a 9 percent drop-off from November, and is the lowest reading since May 2009.
Not surprisingly, the press went bearish on housing post-release:
■U.S. Home Building Stuck Near 50-Year Lows (AFP)
■Housing Starts Slowed Sharply In December (New York Times)
■Housing Starts Fall In December To One-Year Low (Bloomberg)
Despite being truthful, these headlines are somewhat misleading. They each ignore a key element of December's New Residential Construction report — Building Permits. Building Permits rose 6 percent to an 8-month high last month.
A building permit is a local-government certification that authorizes home construction.
Permits are a precursor to Housing Starts with 82% of homes starting construction within 60 days of permit-issuance. More permits in December, therefore, should lead to more Housing Starts in January and February.
It's unclear whether permits were up because the economy was improving, or because builders raced to beat new building code for 2011. Regardless, expect additional "new home" supplies this spring which would ordinarily help home prices drop if not for the normal surge in spring buyers to gobble those new homes up.
Look for home prices to stay flat, but with rising mortgage rates contributing to higher costs of homeownership overall.

101 Dalmatians: Part 6A
The dogs are just like the audience for this film: parents and children together watching entertainment on a screen. The children are emotionally involved with what they're watching while the parents are somewhat jaded. What's most important is the easy relationship between the parents and children, content to spend time together and enjoy each other's company. The comedy is gentle, but based on observation of real family interaction.
What's on TV is a satire of 1950's fare. Westerns dominated TV in the '50s, as did old B westerns and serials. Given the cliffhanger ending of the Thunderbolt episode, it suggests that the footage was from an old serial. Thunderbolt himself is based on Rin Tin Tin, an actual dog brought home from Europe by an American soldier in World War I who went on to be a very popular Warner Bros. star in the 1920s. In the 1950s, Rin Tin Tin was a TV series (not starring the original dog), as was Lassie, both shows that the 1961 audience for 101 Dalmatians would have been familiar with.
This sequence is an example of why I object to the mystique of the nine old men. Eric Larson is the only one of the nine present in this sequence and he gets several personality close-ups. Hal King does about as much footage as Larson, yet King is a non-entity in terms of Disney history. King started at the studio in 1936 and animated on every feature from The Three Caballeros (1945) to Robin Hood (1973), yet who has heard of him? A quick scan of my bookshelf reveals that he animated some of Michael in Peter Pan and worked on the soccer game in Bedknobs and Broomsticks, but that's not a lot of recognition for a 37 year career at Disney.
I see nothing about King's work in this sequence to rate it any less highly than Larson's. Larson does some great work on scenes with Patch, but they're no better than King's scenes with Roly. The animators' work blends together without a problem and King gets some nice close-ups with Pepper (named only in the draft, not on screen), sitting on Pongo's head in shots 6, 24, 32 and 42. King captures the fleshy nature of dogs with the distortion in Pongo's brows and from an acting standpoint shows how involved Pepper is with the TV show while Pongo is clearly taking more pleasure from his children's reactions than he is to the show itself.
Art Stevens and Julius Svendsen do the animation on the TV. It's meant to be melodramatically over the top and they succeed in hitting the right tone. I assume that one of them did the Kanine Krunchies commercial, a parody of the UPA-style of commercials of the time. While it's a parody, it's better animated than many '50s commercials.
This sequence serves to create identification between the family on screen and the families in the audience. The quietness of this sequence serves as a rest between the excitement of the puppies being born and the kidnapping to follow. Once the kidnapping occurs, the peace that this sequence represents will be shattered until the film's finale.

It wasn't until after many viewings of this film that I noticed the visual gag of the horseshoe pattern of spots on the back of the pup named Lucky. One could also assume that this is likely the pup that Roger was able to revive at birth.
The fact that only a handful of pups are referred to by name and given some individual personality is a wise choice, in my opinion. To strive for such individuality in all fifteen would have taken too much screen time and been lost on the audience. It's also occurred to me that Disney did much the same thing in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", in that only two of the Dwarfs, Grumpy and Dopey, are given any significant amount of screen time to establish their personalities, whereas the others are essentially one note characters, individualized by quick visual and verbal gags that run throughout the picture. The interesting thing to me is how we the audience think we know these characters better than we do, considering how little footage is allotted to Happy, Sleepy, etc. Somehow, I think Disney successfully pulled off this same feat in "101 Dalmatians". - May 04, 2008 1:06 PM

That horseshoe pattern is explicitly noted in Dodie Smith's novel. It's interesting that the artists went along with it but never called attention to it.
If naming the seven dwarfs is a perennial trivia question, think how tough naming the 15 dalmatian puppies would be. - May 04, 2008 1:12 PM
You're right that brilliant animators like Hal King are not given the recognition they deserve in the standard books and articles , but I have personally heard many industry veterans like Dale Baer and Don Bluth highly praise the work of Hal King. Animators like Hal King, Eric Cleworth , Cliff Nordberg, John Sibley, are well respected among some in the animation community , but it is too bad that they haven't received as much public recognition as their work deserves . People like you and Hans Perk and Michael Sporn are changing that . Bravo. - May 04, 2008 9:50 PM

Hear! Hear! Thanks all of you for speaking out on behalf of Disney's unsung heros.
I worked with guys like Hal King, Cliff Nordberg and John Sibley. They were awesome animators and, dare I say it -- just as talented as the "Nine."
As much as I love the Disney studio, they were no less political than anyplace else. - May 05, 2008 6:00 PM

Floyd, it would be wonderful to hear of your memories of those forgotten animators on your blog. I don't think John Sibley was ever interviewed.

I find that generally, Bill Peet's story work tends to have the common trap of all one-man story teams, in that there's not a lot of outside in-team input on how the personalities are revealed.
(The fan theory fills the holes...for example, the fan theory is that Anita owes loan debt to Cruella's old-money family, and Cruella feels she has Anita's power now...)
I'm thinking that Bill's script is all the more atmospheric and timely, fitting in with the abnegating early 60s metropolitan aesthetic, by the fact that he reacts coldly and openly to the characters. The characters don't need an arc; although I do think making Pongo so strong at the beginning hurts his arc...he needs the challege of getting the kids back to return from Captain Happy Go Lucky Dumbfuck.
Hal King was a supervising animator on Lady and the Tramp; handling some shots of Jock and about a third of Lady's total screentime (!!); probably the most underpublicized animator in Disney History (aside from Duncan Marjoribanks).
Total things you may have known:
*the "Largo Al Factotum" scene from 'The whale who wanted to sing at the met'
*Mrs. Opossum in 'Song of the South'
*The female mice in Cinderella and the scene of the Duke dropping the slipper (at age 7 I saw this scene and rewound the tape and watched it again for like an hour - it's amazing)
*About half of John and Michael Darling (Lounsberry did parts of John, it's very visible)
*Lady and the Tramp: Lady looking through the window, the scene where Jock and Lady talk about Trust's secret lack of smell, Lady looking at the baby for the first time, Lady scolding Tramp after discovering his past ways with women (one of my favorite animated scenes of all time - that snap she gives him!), and Lady trying to tell the Darlings about the rat.
*The first scene of the Three Good Fairies
*This scene
*The wolf pack meeting in The Jungle book
He lasted as a character animator until Robin Hood, when he was the first old animator to leave the studio due to health issues.

VoiceThread A to Z: Creating Portfolios with VoiceThread
In this final installment of the VoiceThread A to Z series, we'll be discussing portfolios. In our previous posts in this series, we discussed ways to start your year, use VoiceThread for storytelling, presentations, as a discussion board replacement and for assessments. You can find those posts here: VoiceThread A to Z posts.
Portfolios can be a great way to illustrate progress over the course of a semester. Many students don't see the progress they have made until they can compare work they completed early in the year with the work they produce later. They can also be great ways for students to reflect on their learning and show their parents what they've learned.
In this thread, a student takes you on a tour of his school year. He simply uploaded photos from different experiences he's had and narrated his journey:\
In this thread, a 5th grade student reviews her learning in math, science, writing and music for her parents. This type of student-led conference can not only save time during parent-teacher conferences, but it can also give parents a deeper sense of what their child has accomplished:
In this e-portfolio, a higher ed student takes you on a tour of her internship. She explains what she's done, goes over her journal and reflects on what she has learned:
Creating portfolios like these is the same, simple 2 step process it takes to create any VoiceThread: 1. Upload your images, videos and documents, 2. Narrate using your mic or webcam. Because VoiceThreads are always editable, students can continue to add to the same thread as they chart their journey.

I'm excited about the opportunity to share with the world the "Band of Bosses" blog. Here we will talk about any and all subjects related to being a boss. Whether you're a business owner like myself or a manager at the mall, it makes no difference because this site is dedicated to having a community of leaders and helping each other lead better. As a Christian I continually strive to incorporate biblical ideals into the corporate world which led to the Proverb that inspired Band of Bosses, "Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance". We are all leaders and learners on this site so feedback is greatly encouraged. Everyone wants to hear from you so don't be silent! Just a few guidelines, no profanity and no belittling; we can correct, encourage and help each other with tact. Everyone that comes here is both a teacher and a student so lets make sure we act accordingly. Also, I encourage each and every one of you to write your own article to be published here with the wisdom you have obtained from your own experiences; just send them to email@example.com and once it passes review it will be posted.
I'd like to share a little bit about myself. Currently I am the President of Allen Sportswear, a fast growing team sports apparel company based in Orlando, FL. I am also Co-Founder of iPrevail, a non profit organization that specializes in helping families overcome tragedy and get back on their feet.
I started off from humble beginnings, after a very unmotivating 4 years in high school I had two options presented to me; move out and work my way through Junior College or join the Military. I chose to enlist in the Navy and that began my journey into not only becoming a man but becoming a leader. While in the Military I achieved the highest ranking possible in a 4 year period and became a part of the Special Forces as a U.S. Navy 2nd class Diver. During my 4th of what was supposed to be 8 year enlistment I was hit by a car on base in Pearl Harbor and that was the end of my diving days (Yes, I know that doesn't sound sexy but it's the truth).
After my military days I jumped around doing everything from tutoring to working as a prison guard (juvenile hall actually) . Nothing caught my interest though until I met the woman of my dreams and decided I needed to grow up and get serious about a career if she was ever going to marry me. Yes, she does read this blog if you were wondering 😉 but that doesn't change the facts. So, I decided to get into the exciting world of selling and I was a natural. I moved from one job to the next until I finally ended up at SBC, now called AT&T. I made good money but was left unfulfilled by what I was selling and what kind of impact I was making in the world.
That feeling eventually led me to start Allen Sportswear with my wife Tina and 18 years later we are still at it, learning from our mistakes and doing what we can to make each year better than the last. I love Allen Sportswear but one of the things I'm most proud of is iPrevail, which is something I get nothing out of but knowledge that I have made an impact in this world, which For me, there is no better feeling.
I look forward to hearing your stories and learning from your endeavors, thanks ahead of time for the knowledge you bring.

Summary for the Busy Executive: Dark skies, bright Springs.
During the Twenties and early Thirties, the British considered Arnold Bax the Next Elgar and went so far as to make him (to his considerable surprise) Master of the King's Music. It turned out that Elgar stood alone. Bax's music was something other.
I must admit that I didn't always admire that music which, to this day, interests me less than the composer's life and personality. For one thing, as he grew older, he composed less and less, critics hold the late works in less esteem than the early and middle, a judgment I don't necessarily agree with. For me, Bax fascinatingly combines the Modernist desire to "make it new" within an essentially late-Romantic viewpoint. I believe he once said (when it was highly unfashionable), "I'm a brazen Romantic….my music is the expression of emotional states." Music was supposed to be "objective." It could not express anything but "itself." This, by the way, is a crock. If it were true, dramatic music would not be possible, or rather it would make no difference whether Siegfried's journey to immolation occurred against the backdrop of his Funeral March or "How Much is that Doggie in the Window?"
The Third Symphony, the one I most wanted to hear, became the last I heard. At the time, the tone poems on which Bax's reputation rested (The Garden of Fand, Tintagel) left me cool and unwilling to explore any further. However, a Vaughan Williams freak, I read that VW had quoted a bit of the Third in the original version of his Piano Concerto for Bax's mistress, the pianist Harriet Cohen. He later excised the quote, feeling that nobody seemed to "get" it. I couldn't understand why VW would want to quote Bax, even to Harriet Cohen. I could discern nothing in common between the music of the two men. However, other symphonies and works came my way. I really liked the Second, Fourth, Sixth, and Seventh, which started to change my mind and made me ever more eager to hear the Third. Chandos came out with an account by Bryden Thomson, but Thomson I usually felt too sugary, certainly the way I'd describe this particular reading. Vernon Handley tempted me, but his account was available only in an expensive Chandos boxed set. I liked Bax, but not to the extent of wanting to acquire different recordings of the same scores. Naxos, with David Lloyd-Jones, offers a fine, inexpensive alternative.
Completed in 1929, the massive Third was at one point Bax's most popular, but so low had his reputation sunk by the time of his death in 1953, that at least through the early Sixties hardly anyone performed his major works. To some extent, postwar serialism had made serious discussion of the interwar generation uncool. However, Walton and Vaughan Williams continued to be the subjects of popular recordings, and not just through their lollipops, even as Bax faded from general consciousness. The VW symphonic cycle, for example, received three major recordings: Boult on Decca and EMI, Previn on RCA. Nothing similar happened to Bax. It took another twenty or thirty years for him to begin to come back.
The Third is in the three traditional movements: fast-slow-fast. The first movement in particular shows Bax's individual formal thinking. It's sort of a sonata as well as an A-B-A rhapsodic form. There is no formal development section, for example, because Bax continually develops his motives. What appears in the spot usually reserved for development is the exposition of the second subject. This is followed by a free recap. However, the architecture usually has little to do with the emotional effect of the work. Far more important is the rhetorical flow. Landscape inspired much of Bax's work – the more remote and wild, the better. Bax wrote his Third in the north of Scotland, and I, at any rate, hear the North Sea in it – turbulent waters, cold light. The first movement runs as long as some symphonies. It begins with a remarkable passage for solo winds tinged with orientalism – a theme based on what I think of as the "Jewish riff" (G – A-flat – B). This provides most of the matter for the first movement. However, a subsidiary line in the bass also gets raised to thematic prominence and provides lyrical contrast. The movement builds to two intense climaxes, only to fall away and then rev up at the end. In all of its considerable skill and depth of feeling, however, there's little definition in the artistic profile – the impression that this is a work by somebody in particular. You have only to compare this to a movement by Elgar or Vaughan Williams to hear the difference. With either, you know within a few bars at most who wrote what or at least who's imitating whom. Bax, on the other hand, despite his poetry and skill, sounds like a lot of people.
The gorgeous second movement shows Bax, I think, taking his own view of British Pastoralism. He works with pentatonic ideas, combining them with his native chromaticism, but in a way completely different from Vaughan Williams. There is, nevertheless, one brief passage that could have come from VW's Third Symphony.
The finale opens with a jaunty rondo, with elements of the grotesque and more than a few similarities to both VW's Fourth Symphony and Rimsky-Korsakov's Russian Easter Overture. I don't believe this a matter of conscious "cribbing," especially since the VW, I believe came later. Rather, the idea has become so much a part of the composer's psyche that he uses it almost unconsciously as the most appropriate thing to say at the time. Furthermore, Bax's tight grip on his development make such things natural outgrowths of previous strands of thought. The main formal novelty here is the "Epilogue," whose main theme Vaughan Williams quoted in the original version of his Piano Concerto. Some writers have hinted that it looks back on the previous movements, but if so, I haven't caught the references. It does, however, make a satisfying end to the symphony, begun in anxiety, a lovely, serene, almost other-worldly note. Bax carries off the trick of moving from one to the other seamlessly.
Substantially composed in 1914, The Happy Forest finally appeared, fully orchestrated, in 1923. In a certain sense, it belongs more to the period before World War I in its sensibility. Bax came across a poem about Pan leading shepherds in a dance, a late 19th-, early 20th-century invention of a sensuous classicism, to some extent derived from symbolists like Mallarmé. Don't expect anything as languorous as Debussy's Faun. Bax's score opens with bustle, rising to pure animal spirits. The dancers take a breather, in a lovely, lyrical middle, Spring-fresh, a long way from Debussy's steamy summer heat, before they return to the bustle and dance over the hill. Profound, it's not, but it is indeed charming, light music at its best. Bax's orchestration stands out not just for its sound, but for its management of instrumental entrances and exits. Orchestras must find this fun to play.
David Lloyd-Jones and his Scots keep a tight grip on the symphony and serve up plenty of bounce in the tone poem. Again, I like Lloyd-Jones's Bax better than Thomson's, and it's a lot cheaper.

If you temporarily disabled Java during the last round of attacks on Oracle's ubiquitous, buggy program, here's more evidence that the time has come to remove it altogether.
On Tuesday, security researchers at the Polish firm Security Explorations revealed another critical security flaw in Java that affects users of every browser that runs the plugin, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer, allowing a malicious hackers to gain complete control of a victim's machine through a rigged website. And unlike the bug in Java 7 that was actively exploited by hackers to install malware on users' machines until it was patched at the end of last month--also first spotted by Security Explorations four months earlier--this security flaw also affects older versions of Java including Java 5 and Java 6. That means more than a billion users are affected, according to Oracle's count of desktop computers running the software.
Oracle's security issues are piling up: Though Oracle released a fix for the most critical vulnerabilities reported by Security Explorations on August 30th, the security firm quickly found another flaw in that fix that would allow a hacker to bypass the patch. That bug in Oracle's patch still hasn't been patched, leaving users vulnerable to both the new flaw and the previous attack.
Adam Gowdiak, a researcher with Security Explorations, wrote in an email to me that the flaw's ability to give an attacker access to a user's entire machine and the fact it applies to all recent versions of the software makes it the most critical of the 50 vulnerabilities the company has found in Java. Given that Macs run Java 6 by default, this latest flaw affects Apple users to a much greater degree than the previous Java imbroglio, Gowdiak says. After all, hackers used a similar flaw in Java to infect more than 600,000 Macs with the Flashback malware earlier this year.
"We hope that news about one billion users of Oracle Java SE software being vulnerable to yet another security flaw is not gonna spoil the taste of Larry Ellison's morning Java," Gowdiak wrote in a note to the BugTraq mailing list.
When attacks against Java began appearing last month, security researchers advised users to disable the program until the flaw was patched. Security blogger Brian Krebs has posted step-by-step instructions about how to disable Java in major browsers here.
Now, with the latest critical bug appearing even before that last mess has even been cleaned up, it may be time to ditch Java for good.

U.S. Government Launches Official Agency to Manage Biometric Database -- Popular Science
All hail BIMA, the new U.S. biometrics agency.
Collecting fingerprints and other biometric data has long allowed law enforcement and the military alike to track down wanted individuals, solve cases, or just keep tabs on people. Now what was a U.S. government task force under the U.S. Army has officially become a full-scale national security agency in charge of biometrics, according to the Secrecy News blog run by the Federation of American Scientists.

My Comment: This is the future of warfare and intelligence. Databases with all types of biometric information .... including our DNA and any scraps of intelligence that has been gathered.
My prediction, when fully implemented the days of not knowing who the enemy is will probably come to an end.
