West Allis — West Allis will soon demolish a seventh dilapidated home and build a three-bedroom home in its place in the city's continuing battle to stem neighborhood blight.
The new home will be sold to a family meeting federal income guidelines for $100,000 to $120,000.
"We bought the worst of the worst because nobody in the private sector is going to do that," said city planner Kristi Johnson. The goal of using federal dollars to buy, raze and build new homes is to stop the spread of blight and stabilize neighborhoods, she said.
The city has cleared six aging homes that way since 2009 and is now looking at clearing six more.
Of the original six, three were foreclosures from Milwaukee County that offered them to the city below market value, Johnson said. The new homes were sold to families meeting income guidelines for the federal Neighborhood Stabilization federal dollars.
Last week, the Community Development Authority decided to go ahead with building a new home at 2159 S. 61st St. for a total of $225,100. With the $34,000 acquisition cost, the total tab using federal dollars is $259,100.
The sale price of $100,000 to $120,000 is low compared to the actual costs because the house must be affordable to families at 80 percent or less of the Milwaukee County median income, Johnson said. For a family of four, that would be $56,250 this year, she said.
Feeling that $225,100 is high for razing the current home and building a new one, Alderman Dan Roadt suggested razing the home and giving the land to a qualifying family which then would build a home.
"We can try it," said John Stibal, development director, noting that nearly $150,000 is a deep subsidy. But because a federal deadline is pressing, the CDA approved the combination demolition and building contract for the 61st Street home.
But Roadt's suggestion might be explored for the two other homes the city owns and plans to raze and for the three additional homes it may buy, under the federal program, Johnson said after the meeting.
But without a subsidy, families qualifying under the income guidelines might find it hard to build, even with a free lot, Johnson suggested.
"Given the limited financial resources available, I'm not sure who would be able to build a house," she said. But if they think they can, the city would consider it, she said.
Voting against the demolition and building contract was commission member Wayne Clark who objected that only one bid came in for the job.
"Are we being good stewards when we only have one bid?" he asked.
City officials also were surprised at the lack of response. They sent 27 requests for proposals to businesses in the Wisconsin Builders Association and received only one bid, Johnson said.
"I can't believe we only got one bid," Stibal said.
Although that bid is within expectations, he said, next time they will split the job into separate demolition and building contracts. Some companies specialize in just one or the other and didn't want to get involved in the unfamiliar area, Johnson said.

Floradix Iron Plus Herbs
Fantastic product! I was constantly tired because of low iron for about two years ... I guess at my age (46) because of heavy monthly flow ... but also have suffered my whole life from chronic constipation so I wasn't keen on taking iron supplements. My niece who is a midwife recommended Floradix as it is non-constipating, and after taking it for about two weeks ... it was like a light came on! I could walk up over the stairs at work in the morning with no trouble, whereas before I had to drag myself up. If anything, my constipation problem has lessened since I started taking Floradix. I highly recommend it and have gotten at least a half dozen other women to start using it. I order it online at iherb.com, about six or so bottles at a time, and it's delivered right to my home in about two days! By doing this I save about $15 per bottle compared to what I pay for it in health stores here in Newfoundland. Jeanette Martin Newfoundland, Canada
This product is perfect for me

I felt an immediate improvement in my energy level and well being after starting on this product Christmas day. My iron level is currently 9. I haven't experienced any negative side effects, specifically no constipation. I find the taste quite agreeable - it certainly isn't difficult to take. It was straightforward ordering from iHerb online and the product arrived within a reasonable time, packaged securely with no leakage from the bottle. Based on my experience thus far, I would definitely recommend iHerb and this product.

it tastes good~~~``
Posted by Reviewer1232381 on Oct 11, 2016
I first heard about this iron when my teenage daughter was going through chemo. This was what they recommended for her. I have recommended it for some pregnant moms instead of those harsh iron pills that block you up when you are pregnant. Now, I take Floradix in the weeks before I donate blood to be sure that my numbers are up so I don't get sent home for being borderline. I like the liquid because I can control the doses. A little bit goes a long way. It has a "prune juice" type flavor to it. And I like that too.

User:Ragesoss/History of chromatography
The history of chromatography spans from the mid-19th century the 21st. Chromatography, literally "color writing", was used—and named— in the first decade of the 20th century, primarily for the separation of plant pigments such as chlorophyll. New forms of chromatography developed in the 1930s and 1940s made the technique useful for a wide range of separation processes and chemical analysis tasks, especially in biochemistry.
The earliest use of chromatography—passing a mixed solution through an inert material to create separation of the solution components based on differential adsorption—is sometimes attributed to to German chemist Friedrich Ferdinand Runge, who in 1855 described the use of paper to analyze dyes. Runge dropped spots of different inorganic chemicals onto circles of filter paper already impregnated with another chemical, and reactions between the different chemicals created unique color patterns. According to historical analysis of L. S. Ettre, however, Runge's work had "nothing to do with chromatography" (and instead should be considered a precursor of chemical spot tests such as the Schiff test).[1]
In the 1860s, Christian Friedrich Schönbein and his student Friedrich Goppelsroeder published the first attempts to study the different rates at which different substances move through filter paper. Schönbein, who thought capillary action (rather than adsorption) was responsible for the movement, called the technique capillary analysis, and Goppelsroeder spent much of his career using capillary analysis to test the movement rates of a wide variety of substances. Unlike modern paper chromatography, capillary analysis used reservoirs of the substance being analyzed, creating overlapping zones of the solution components rather than separate points or bands.[2]
Work on capillary analysis continued, but without much technical development, well into the 20th century. The first significant advances over Goppelsroeder's methods came with the work of Raphael E. Liesegang: in 1927, he placed filter strips in closed containers with atmospheres saturated by solvents, and in 1943 he began using discrete spots of sample adsorbed to filter paper, dipped in pure solvent to achieve separation. This method, essentially identical to modern paper chromatography, was published just before the independent—and far more influential—work of Archer Martin and his collaborators that inaugurated the widespread use of paper chromatography.[3]
Tsvet and column chromatography[edit]
The first true chromatography is usually attributed to the Russian botanist Mikhail Tsvet. Tsvet applied his observations with filter paper extraction to the new methods of column fractionation that had been developed in the 1890s for separating the components of petroleum. He used a liquid-adsorption column containing calcium carbonate to separate plant pigments. The method was described on December 30 1901 at the 11th Congress of Naturalists and Doctors (XI съезд естествоиспытателей и врачей) in Saint Petersburg. The first printed description was in 1903, in the Proceedings of the Warsaw Society of Naturalists, section of biology. He first used the term chromatography in print in 1906 in his two papers about chlorophyll in the German botanical journal, Berichte der Deutschen Botanischen Gesellschaft. In 1907 he demonstrated his chromatograph for the German Botanical Society. Interestingly, Mikhail's surname "Цвет" means "color" in Russian, so there is the possibility that his naming the procedure chromatography (literally "color writing") was a way that he could make sure that he, a commoner in Tsarist Russia, could be immortalized.
In a 1903 lecture (published in 1905), Tsvet also described using filter paper to approximate the properties of living plant fibers in his experiments on plant pigments—a precursor to paper chromatography. He found that he could extract some pigments (such as carotene) from leaves with non-polar solvents, but others (such as chlorophyll) required polar solvents. He reasoned that chlorophyll was held to the plant tissue by adsorption, and that stronger solvents were necessary to overcome the adsorption. To test this, he applied dissolved pigments to filter paper, allowed the solvent to evaporate, then applied different solvents to see which could extract the pigments from the filter paper. He found the same pattern as from leaf extractions: carotene could be extracted from filter paper using non-polar solvents, but chlorophyll required polar solvents.[4]
Tsvet's work saw little use until the 1930s.[5]
Martin and Synge and partition chromatography[edit]
Chromatography methods changed little after Tsvet's work until the explosion of mid-20th century research in new techniques, particularly thanks to the work of Archer John Porter Martin and Richard Laurence Millington Synge. By "the marrying of two techniques, that of chromatography and that of countercurrent solvent extraction", Martin and Synge developed partition chromatography to separate chemicals with only slight differences in partition coefficients between two liquid solvents. Martin, who had previously been working in vitamin chemistry (including attempts to purify vitamin E), began collaborating with Synge in 1938, bring his experience with equipment design to Synge's project of separating amino acids. After unsuccessful experiments with complex countercurrent extraction machines and liquid-liquid chromatography methods where the liquids move in opposite directions, Martin hit on the idea of using silica gel in columns to hold water stationary while an organic solvent flows through the column. Martin and Synge demonstrated the potential of the methods by separating amino acids marked in the column by the addition of methyl red.[6] In a series of publications beginning in 1941, they described increasingly powerful methods of separating amino acids and other organic chemicals.
In pursuit of better and easier methods of identifying the amino acid constituents of peptides, Martin and Synge turned to other chromatography media as well. A short abstract in 1943 followed by a detailed article in 1944 described the use of filter paper as the stationary phase for performing chromatography on amino acids: paper chromatography.[7] By 1947, Martin, Synge and their collaborators had applied this method (along with Fred Sanger's reagent for identifying N-terminal residues) to determine the pentapeptide sequence of Gramicidin S. These and related paper chromatography methods were also foundational to Fred Sanger's effort to determine the amino acid sequence of insulin.[8]
Refining the techniques[edit]
Martin, in collaboration with Anthony T. James, went on to develop gas chromatography (the principles of which Martin and Synge had laid out in their landmark 1941 paper) beginning in 1949. In 1952, during his lecture for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (shared with Synge, for their earlier chromatography work) Martin announced the successful separation of a wide variety of natural compounds by gas chromatography. (German chemist Fritz Prior had achieved limited success with gas chromatography, separating oxygen and carbon dioxide, in 1947 during his Ph.D. research. The method of Martin and James, however, became the basis for subsequent developments in gas chromatography.)[9]
The ease and efficiency of gas chromatography for separating organic chemicals spurred the rapid adoption of the method, as well as the rapid development of new detection methods for analyzing the output. The thermal conductivity detector, described in 1954 by N. H. Ray, was the foundation for several other methods: the flame ionization detector was described by J. Harley, W. Nel, and V. Pretorius in 1958, and James Lovelock introduced the electron capture detector that year as well. Others introduced mass spectrometers to gas chromatography in the late 1950s.[10]
The work of Martin and Synge also set the stage for high performance liquid chromatography, suggesting that small sorbent particles and pressure could produce fast liquid chromatography techniques. This became widely practical by the late 1960s (and the method was used to separate amino acids as early as 1960).[11]
Thin layer chromatography[edit]
The first developments in thin layer chromatography occurred in the 1940s, and techniques advanced rapidly in the 1950s after the introduction of relatively large plates and relatively stable materials for sorbent layers.[12]
Later developments[edit]
In 1987 Pedro Cuatrecasas and Meir Wilchek were awarded the Wolf Prize in Medicine for the invention and development of affinity chromatography and its applications to biomedical sciences.

What does it take for a company to embrace change? How does change in an organization come about?
Companies do not just wake up one day and embrace change. To the contrary, companies grow into change in several different ways – sometimes business necessity leads to change, sometimes companies proactively embrace and seek out change, and sometimes change comes from a government enforcement action.
The easiest road to change is when it coincides with financial needs. A company is growing and is profitable. It needs to grow in order to increase profits and take the company to the "next" level. Change is quickly embraced and adaptation is expected of all participants. It is imperative to the company's future for change to occur.
When financial interests coincide with change interests, compliance and other "support" functions, defined as non-income producing operations, should grow with the increase in corporate operations. Often there is a lag since no one pays close attention to the support functions when financial and operational needs dictate an expansion or change through organic growth or acquisition.
At the other extreme of the change continuum is government intervention or enforcement. In those cases where an enforcement action occurs, the government often prescribes changes to compliance programs, resources and policies. It is not just limited to FCPA enforcement. If you look at a Corporate Integrity Agreement used in HHS enforcement matters, you will see detailed compliance requirements, far beyond those required in a "typical" FCPA enforcement matter.
The government can impose a range of requirements, stretching all the way to a compliance monitor. While companies vigorously oppose the appointment of a monitor, if you ask companies how their compliance programs look after the monitor leaves, they will candidly tell you they like the new compliance program and the improvements required by the government and the monitor.
In the end, the government can bring about change – but this is change on the government's terms, with some resistance and input from the company.
The middle ground – which is vast – encompasses a range of situations. Change from an external requirement – market conditions, environment, enforcement environment or other issues outside the control of the company – to internal organic change which is the result of actions taken by corporate leadership.
In the middle ground, corporate leadership, particularly the CEO, is going to dictate whether and how change is going to occur. This is where the rubber meets the road – is the CEO a visionary? Is the CEO willing to embrace change based on how he or she weighs various internal and external factors?
A CEO can lead a company or he or she can manage the company by resisting change. I am not advocating change for change's sake, but all too often we are hearing about CEOs who failed to recognize the need for change or reacted too slowly to change. It is easy to understand how a CEO can lose touch with an organization and fail to see the issues which need to be addressed to move the company forward.
Risk is not good just for risk sake. But calculated risks are how people survive and achieve. God CEOs recognize that leadership in many respects boils down to calculated risk and subjective judgment calls. That is the way of the world.

Timothy Harley "Tim" Macindoe MP is a New Zealand politician who was elected as a Member of Parliament in 2008 for the Hamilton West electorate. Macindoe represents the National Party.
Early life[edit]
Macindoe was born in Auckland New Zealand where he was a boarder at King's College and later attended Otago University, where he studied for a BA (Hons) in History.[2] Macindoe has been heavily involved with New Zealand education, most recently as the Deputy Principal at St. Peter's School. Macindoe has also held roles in retail, agriculture and as a prison tutor.[3]
In 2009, Macindoe completed his second degree; an LLB from the University of Waikato.[4]
Political career[edit]
In 1996 Macindoe unsuccessfully stood for United New Zealand in Karapiro, where he was a list candidate.[5]
Macindoe has held numerous roles within the New Zealand National Party, including Chairman of the Hamilton West electorate and four years as deputy chair of National's Central North Island regional organisation.[2] In 2005 he organised a petition which forced the abandonment of a proposal by the New Zealand Labour Party to site an unsecured home for youth offenders opposite Melville High School.[1]
Member of Parliament[edit]
|Parliament of New Zealand
|Hamilton West
|Hamilton West
|2014 – present
|Hamilton West
In the 2008 election, Macindoe won the Hamilton West electorate by a margin of 1,618 votes,[6] defeating incumbent Labour MP Martin Gallagher.
Within Parliament Macindoe is the Deputy Chair of the Regulations Review Select Committee, and is a member of the Social Services Select Committee.[1] He is the Co-Chair of the Caucus Education Committee, and a member of several other caucus committees, including the BlueGreens, Treaty of Waitangi Issues, Arts and Culture, and Law and Order.
In the New Zealand general election, 2011, Macindoe again won Hamilton West, defeating Labour Party list MP Sue Moroney by a margin of 4,049 votes.[7]
Following the February 2013 reshuffle by John Key, Macindoe was selected as the new Junior Whip, being joined by Third Whip Jami-Lee Ross and Chief Whip Louise Upston [8]
Political views[edit]
Macindoe opposed the Crimes (Abolition of Force as a Justification for Child Discipline) Amendment Bill and supported the "no" vote in the corporal punishment referendum, 2009.[9]
He also opposed the Marriage (Definition of Marriage) Amendment Bill, which legalized same-sex marriage in New Zealand. In Parliament, Macindoe cited his committed Christian beliefs in supporting his position, arguing that same-sex relationships could "never be regarded as true marriage" because they were "intrinsically different", and that "the nature of marriage should not be interfered with".[10] However, despite his opposition, the bill was passed by Parliament and took effect in 2013.
Personal life[edit]
He is married to Anne Macindoe, and they have two children.[1] Outside Parliament, Macindoe is a parishioner at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Forest Lake;[1] and he co-chairs the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Regional Orchestra Steering Committee.[1]
Macindoe has served on the boards of two local schools, as a broadcaster for Community Radio Hamilton, and on the Melville Community Action Group in 2005.[1] He is a strong supporter of the Hamilton Hydrotherapy Pool Trust, even having his hair dyed blue in a successful fundraiser for the project in 2008.[1] His sporting interests include golf, cricket and rugby and supporting his children's sporting activities.[1]

It's one thing for the Big 3 to get tires and engine parts from cities along the US Rust Belt. It's another thing altogether, though, for Tesla Motors to source far more esoteric materials like graphite, cobalt and lithium from Canada and the northern US. But that's what the California-based company has in mind, and it's all in the name of environmental friendliness and cost, Bloomberg News says.

One of the bigger knocks against hybrid and electric vehicles is that while they don't directly produce much in the way of harmful emissions (if they make any at all), the process of building their electric motors and batteries can be very, very bad for the environment. Take graphite, for example. It's an essential ingredient in lithium-ion battery packs, like the one shown above in the back of a Toyota Prius Plug-In. According to Bloomberg, the average hybrid car uses about 22 pounds of graphit

Buy Danish
I have watched the insanity set off by a few cartoons published in a Danish newspaper. Ten people have died, embassies have been torched and a worldwide Muslim boycott of Danish goods has begun. I can no longer sit on the sidelines. Today I begin my campaign to Buy Danish.

Every Magazine I Love Is Folding
By Laura Marrich [ Tue Dec 1 2009 2:56 PM ]
First Chow bit the dust. Domino collapsed this year, and culinary giant Gourmet became toast soon after (both were in Condé Nast's publishing portfolio). And now Metropolitan Home is shutting its doors, which I discovered when I tried to renew my subscription online a few weeks ago. "Sadly, Metropolitan Home is no longer being published. If you have questions about your existing subscription, please contact customer service." It callously recommended that I subscribe to Elle Decor instead. Sure! Can I have it delivered right up their publisher's ass?
Here's the stupid press release.

Chocolatier aims to make medical marijuana go down easy
By Christie Chisholm
Scott Van Rixel's career in food started the day following his 12th birthday, with a dishwashing job at a Serbian fish fryery. "My mom and my dad would pick me up Friday night and make me strip down to my underwear outside because I stunk so bad of fish," he recalls. "It was miserable, but I loved it."

Nuts for Beer
By Alex Brown and Evan George
Rosemary, olive oil and sea salt make pecans a big hit. Vanilla-honey and fresh nutmeg turn cashews into crack cocaine. But the real powerhouse of our most recent beer bust was an improvised recipe—stumbled upon while ransacking Alex's spice shelves—for spicy smoked peanuts. A touch of brown sugar, coarse salt, a kiss of cayenne, wallops of bright red Aleppo pepper and, crucially, smoked black pepper helped plenty of people brave the line for another bomber.

Each to their own choices this was powerful in feelings in emotions but in todays society it is understandable to find that we feel at times let down by our creator given the fact that there is so much misery and upset through war and greed and materialism.
I for my part will never leave my GOD he is my guide,my inspiration and my best friend.
