For many organisations and charities, the work they do and help they provide would not be possible without the contributions of donors. In order to recognise donors for their gifts, many organisations and charities create donor plaques or shadow boxes in honour of the contributor. Say "thank you" to your donors by designing a plaque or shadow box made especially for them.
Other People Are Reading
Honour the donors and their gifts to the organisation by including their names and some words or short phrases on the plaques or shadow boxes. Always include the person's entire name (unless she wishes to remain anonymous). Include the complete first, middle and last name, as well as any professional titles, such as Doctor. If you include any dates in the design, spell out the name of the month rather than abbreviating it with numbers. Choose a formal font to write these words. Have them engraved on a plaque, or for a shadow box, write the text on a computer and print out the paper.
Include an image in the design, for an added element of thanks. This may include the organisation's logo or mascot, or the logo of the company that made the donation. Also, consider what the donation went toward and pick an image related to that. For example, if the donor gave money to help build a new park, choose a tree image to put on one plaque or shadow box, as well as swings, flowers and bicycles to put on others. Have the image engraved on the plaque. For shadow boxes, print the image from the computer, or hire an artist to draw the design especially for the recognition.
Donors give money as a way to help someone or something beyond themselves. Showcase what a difference their contributions are making by including the recipients in the design of the recognitions. For example, if a donor gave money to buy food for a starving child overseas, include a picture or name of that child in the design. Or, if the donation was made to a library project, include the name of the donor's favourite book. Using the shadow box as a medium, you can include photographs of the recipients, or even place an entire book in the thick frame.
When laying out the text, images and recipient recognitions on your plaque or shadow box, arrange the items so that they're not overcrowded. Think about what's most important in the recognition (which is usually the donor's name), and make that the predominant feature of the design. Arrange the completed plaques or shadow boxes together to create a visually pleasing design on the wall, in a shape or pattern. For example, if you have many shadow boxes or plaques, nail them to the wall in the shape of a heart, the year the donations were made, or the name of the organisation.

sales pitch support
Pitching your company to a potential client or customer sometimes feels like just that: you lob the ball into the air, and wait to see if you get a hit or not.
The sales pitching process should not be a game of hope and chance, but a targeted, scripted sales enablement effort that nets results. In fact, at Hummingbird Creative Group, we don't use the word "pitch," at all. "Pitching" implies speaking at a customer, not to him.
hummingbird creative group sales strategy
We begin by analyzing your current process. What is working? What's not working? We examine your data and methods. We know your sales team is full of experts. We want to collaborate with them to find out how they think they process could be improved, and include that valuable input as part of the plan.
Next, we research. Research is crucial in three areas of sales:
- Types of customers – Cold calling a desert nomad to sell him a rowboat is obviously not going to be effective. We can help you figure out which categories of potential customers are best suited for your company's product or service, and fit well with your company brand and style. This research includes a look at your current customers' including location, demographics, and interests. Are you missing out on a potential group who wants or needs your services or products?
- Best approaches – Once we narrow down your customer fields, we can narrow down the approaches that will work. Studies show that 82% of sellers are out of sync with the buyer. Understanding your buyer is the key to making a sale. Hummingbird can help you research your buyers so your sales team will know what problems they need solved.
- Whom to call – You might have the right approach and the right customer, but if he or she isn't the decisions maker, you're wasting your time. Make sure you are speaking to the person who can sign up for your company's service or product.
ditch the pitch
We use this data and analysis to produce a customized plan for your organization. Yes, we can help with scripts. But nothing is going to deter buyers more than a blatant sales pitch. Your sales team should be ready to go off script, prepared for a dialogue.
Your unique sales plan may include:
- A list of objectives for your sales team
- Sales team training to align sales and marketing
- Calls to action
- Printed marketing materials
- Presentation templates and slide decks
- Proposal templates
- Marketing automation
- Changes to the website to improve conversions
- Strategies for best approaches
- Data about potential targets, customers
- Tradeshow support
- Speaking and sponsorship opportunities
media pitches/public relations
Pitching isn't just for salespeople. Getting coverage in the news is a difficult task these days because there are fewer news reporters out there covering more news. How do you get their attention? At Hummingbird, we use the same research-heavy, targeted approach to help you choose which media organizations, what story, and when.
Sending a generic press release to 452 media outlets might net some results, but you'll be far more effective with individual outreach to reporters who cover your type of news. Let us help you land the coverage you're looking for.

Color coding is inaccurate for past releases
Affects | Status | Importance | Assigned to | Milestone | |

Bug Description
The color coding in the Ubuntu 12.04 specific view is inaccurate. This is because the values for the First seen and Last seen columns do not change to release-specific values. This means that you will often see the rows become greyed out when you select Ubuntu 12.04, because the Last seen version is from Quantal.
Fixing this will either require inserting release-specific First seen and Last seen values into the BucketMetadata Column Family, prefixed with a high ascii character to reduce the number of seeks (read the bucket metadata common to all releases, seek, read the release-specific metadata), or will need a new Column Family, which comes with its own set of performance penalties around locating multiple rows (rows are partitioned randomly across the Cassandra cluster).
Alternatively, we could look up the row in BucketVersions and map each found version to a lookup for the Ubuntu releases in which it is published. This is costly as it involves talking to Launchpad.

I am not sure why; but it has become a fixed habit for intellectual Christians to think theologically using concepts drawn from physics - physics as the 'master metaphor' with divinity understood as light or a kind of abstract force like magnetism - love understood as a kind of attraction or force-field etc. Then people become 'captivated' by the metaphor - and the metaphor ends-up being in-charge; with Christianity being fitted-into-it. (I have been in this situation myself, several times!) This has been going since at least as long ago as the third century AD, and probably the second.
I try to break this habit of conceptualizing Christianity in a physics-y way, and to stick to the idea of ultimate reality as working along the lines of family relationships. God as our Father, Jesus as elder brother; men and women as God's children who inherit divinity from him and so forth.
And what holds it together is love. Given the extreme and central importance of love in Christianity, there are problems with abstract physics-type thinking making love into something like a gravitational force, or a pervasive gas, or whatever. Love is really an interpersonal kind of cohesion, the cohesion of living, sentient beings.
But for most modern people, this would restrict the operations of love to the world of Men and God (and Angels, perhaps) and leave-out most of the universe - which would still be explained, ultimately, in terms of physics. However, I personally try to regard everything that is, as in some way alive and
conscious; and therefore regard everything in creation as part of this same network of loving relationships that binds Men, Angels, and God. So, love takes the place of physics - ultimately.
What is fascinating to contemplate is how modern man got the idea that the universe is not-alive - and that there is a division between the living (biological) and non-living (chemical and physical) universe; and a further division between the conscious (human) and non-conscious (everything else) world. To believe this requires an extreme, and in a sense suicidal, psychological move; whereby reality is made into grossly simplified models (e.g. scientific theories, philosophical descriptions) that exclude the role of humans, including the role of human thinking.
Then having creating this grossly simplified model - which we know for certain to be radically incomplete, hence untrue - we moderns come to believe (in public discourse, anyway) the model as necessarily true - despite that we know for certain it is not!
The sum total of 'evidence' for the truth of our simple and false model is that it is apparently useful, as a rule of thumb, in some situations, when dealing with the world - predicting and manipulating things (but only approximately)!
Most bizarre...
Anyway, if we can cure ourselves of this foolish and unjustifiable habit of making known-false models then believing them as true; and return to the the spontaneous human way of thinking of everything as more-or-less alive and conscious - then we can understand the whole of reality in a truly Christian way --- Instead of the mainstream Christian practice of regarding Christianity as no more than a tiny bubble of human and divine and loving relationships, utterly swamped by a vast, unbounded universe of deadness and meaninglessness; a purposeless mechanistic realm of clockwork causality mixed with chaos...

The goals of the patch are as follows: 1) Allow MAXSCREENS to be determined at run time instead of compile time (a new -maxscreens command line flag was added). 2) Make minimal source-code changes to the tree: a) The name "MAXSCREENS" was not changed -- this allowed all of the loops that reference MAXSCREENS to remain unchanged. b) MAXSCREENSALLOC is a convenience macro that allocates and zeros memory, allowing 1-line changes to allocate code (and another line to check that allocation succeeded). Memory is zero'd because many routines assume that the previous static allocations are zero'd. The macro is also safe to call multiple times since there are places in the code where the first use of a MAXSCREENS-sized array is difficult to determine (or non-deterministic). c) In some cases, the existing code zeros the memory. These calls are unchanged, but could be removed. Some of the changes could not be tested because we do not have the appropriate hardware available -- it would be possible to substitute MAXSCREENSDEFAULT for MAXSCREENS in these code paths (i.e., and leave them as compile-time configurable code paths): config/cf/iPAQH3600.cf config/cf/itsy.cf programs/Xserver/hw/darwin/quartz/fullscreen/fullscreen.c programs/Xserver/hw/kdrive/kxv.c programs/Xserver/hw/sun/sunInit.c programs/Xserver/hw/sunLynx/sunLyInit.c programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/* [all the changes are similar] programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bsd/arm_video.c programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/dgux/dgux_video.c programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/InitOutput.c

Rockhaven Sanitarium Development Explained
You've probably read about the proposal to develop Rockhaven into housing, retail sites or a "boutique hotel." What happened to our new library, park and community center we'd been promised? This historic site, built in 1923 by women for the care of women with mental disabilities, had been much touted as a future public resource for the community. Here's how this happened:
In 2006, Rockhaven Sanitarium went out of business. It was to be bulldozed and apartments would take its place. The community was outraged and then-Councilman John Drayman proposed a clear plan. Glendale would buy the site for a new library and community center and restore the historic buildings with the lease money being made from the city-owned Montrose Trader Joe's property. Almost immediately after buying the site in 2008, the economy crashed. Soon after, state redevelopment funds, which Glendale relied on for large projects, were shut off. The Trader Joe's money turned out to be a drop in a very empty bucket. All plans were shelved, and since then Rockhaven has been in mothballs, attended by city gardeners and a small band of volunteers.
Recently, City Manager Scott Ochoa proposed a bold new idea of public/private partnership to restore Rockhaven. He met with community members that had been involved with Rockhaven (including myself) and laid out the city's financial state regarding building a new library, plus the millions it would take for restoration of the historic buildings. Realistically, it wasn't gonna happen, particularly the new library. He proposed that with the new library off the table, the library site (nearly an acre of open land) could be used for some limited private development, which in turn could help pay for the restoration. Ochoa assured us that if we felt this development plan was not working, we could put the brakes on at any time. While many of us had huge reservations about this plan, we also realized that we may not have other options. The double whammy of Drayman's demise, along with the sad fact that the Glendale section of CV doesn't vote in great numbers, made our political pulling power almost nil. But at the same time, we trusted the City of Glendale to do the right thing. So we revised our attitudes to "cautiously optimistic," and have agreed to support the exploration of this compromise.
The first step in this process is the issuance of a "Request for Qualifications" (RFQ) to 150 developers. This memo lays out what the project is about and asks the developers if they feel they are "qualified" to bid on a project like this. The RFQ states some ground rules for the project, including: 1) preserve all or most of the historically significant buildings through adaptive reuse; 2) maintain and preserve a significant portion of the historic landscape; and 3) allow for public access of all or portions of the historic campus. This is a quote from the RFQ.
It further states that the community involvement in the process is mandatory, and that creativity is encouraged. The RFQ is posted on the city's website at: http://www.glendaleca.gov/RockhavenRFQ. I urge you to look at it.
A few developers will hopefully come forward and state, "Yes, I am qualified in historic restoration, adaptive reuse, and community involvement. Here's my cool idea for Rockhaven." The city will select the best candidates, and then issue a "Request for Proposal" (RFP). Those select few candidates will then create a more detailed set of plans and financials, and a final selection will be made by Glendale City Council. Again, we are assured we can pull the plug if it starts to go south.
The fact is that I, and many others in the valley, are profoundly disappointed that what was purchased as a park is potentially being put on the auction block. I hope retail shops and offices in historic buildings, along with a park and community center, could be partially funded by low-impact development in Rockhaven's open space (the area that should have been a library or park). I would love to see Rockhaven come back to life.
And I hope I'm not being naïve.

Charlie Sheen keen to give advice to Lindsay
However, the 45-year-old insists he's the perfect person to help Lohan deal with her problems as she fights accusations she stole a necklace from a Hollywood jewelers, because he understands how the media can "vilify without fact".
"I dare you to get Lindsay on the show. You get Lindsay on the show and I'll call in. I have some advice for her. I have some things for her to consider," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Sheen as telling US radio show presenter Dan Patrick on Wednesday.
"Work on your impulse control, just try to think things through a little bit before you do it. Now check it - I was not there in the store, the necklace, some bracelet, who cares? I mean, they are just so desperate to vilify without fact," he said.
Lohan, who was already on probation when the incident allegedly occurred in January, has pleaded not guilty to a felony grand theft charge and is currently free on bail after a judge revoked her probation for a previous DUI charge.

Waiting for my H to address the emails I write to him late at night when I can't sleep.
Waiting for him to come home each day and hoping that we will have a few moments to talk privately.
Waiting for his timeline.
Waiting for him to begin a conversation with me about the A.
Waiting for him to respond to my latest questions.
Waiting for him to get OW's voice off his business answering machine.
Waiting for him to revisit the Wayward thread where he finally posted, got some great responses, then never replied.
Waiting for him to get some help, either here or with a therapist.
Waiting for him to want to understand how we got here and why he did what he did.
Waiting to talk about the books we both read.
Waiting to feel that we have done all these things so that we can turn a corner.
Waiting to feel that I am not waiting anymore.
Waiting to let myself feel happy again.
Waiting for him to decide the direction my life will take
Don't let him do this. Take back control of your life. Realize how wonderful it can be. With or without him.
YOU are worth the time and energy it takes to have happiness, don't allow him to dictate how or when it happens.
Ditto to what karmahappens said.
Waiting for him to take any steps forward for his own self-healing means you may be waiting for years to come. From your posts, its obvious that he is taking the minimum steps forward and those that he are doing are because you are pressuring him. There doesn't seem to be a cycle of pro-active healing, either for him, you or the marriage. He's had two years and it seems that he has just coasted the whole time.
You can continue to wait for him or you can make decisions not to set the agenda forward. By creating a 180 plan, you take control of your life and let him play catch up if he wants. I firmly believe that a truly remorseful WS will be able to move past the fears of having the lies and secrets of the A being exposed if R is the air in their lungs.
Stilllovinghim - You have got to work every single day on yourself and on your M if you want this to survive. This is the most important thing in your life. This is the air in your lungs. Don't squander it.
I think you need to stop waiting and take action. Stop being wishy-washy and take charge. Making that decision is hard, nobody says its easy but you either take control of the your life or you might as well just rug sweep it all under the table now and accept that you will not get what you are hoping for.
[This message edited by HUFI-PUFI at 11:21 AM, February 12th (Wednesday)]
it looks like you forgot Waiting for him to decide the direction my life will take
I know my post sounds like I am waiting for this also, but I know what direction I want my life to take. My vision is the same as his. I think we just have different ideas on how to get there.
I'm a bit stuck on believing I need these things in order to turn a corner, whereas he is in a "enjoy each other every day NOW, and look forward, not back" mode.
I just wonder sometimes if I am being too stubborn by demanding that my requirements be met. Perhaps he is not able to give me those things. Maybe I should give up, give in, just give.
I really don't want to do a 180 if I understand it correctly. I don't want to distance myself in any way. I feel the connection we have now is so much better than during those dark years that I don't want to let go of it.
I don't quite know what action to take. Two nights ago I wrote him another email telling him that I will give him until the end of this month to move forward on his promises to seek help and to initiate discussions with me. Also by the end of the month, I would like the timeline to be completed and her voice off the message recording. I hated to use the word ultimatum, so instead I used the word motivation. The motivation for him to do these tasks is that he will be able to continue to share a bed with me. I guess I just have to hope that is "motivation" enough. At the time of the email, I mentioned that he had 18 days to begin the first two requirements and to complete the second two.
A short conversation by phone yesterday made me think that he wanted to find the time last night to talk about it. Well, we found some time alone and he talked - about anything other than my message.
I know it is difficult for him, but my patience has worn very thin.
I will not rug sweep. I have taken the only action I can. I don't want to tell him to leave. I don't want to move on without him. We are in this together, so what more can I do?
[This message edited by FightingBack at 12:13 PM, February 12th (Wednesday)]
your post is all about waiting on him and from the looks of he he is doing nothing.
He seems to think it's just going to happen ...
I'm a bit stuck on believing I need these things in order to turn a corner, whereas he is in a "enjoy each other every day NOW, and look forward, not back".
Looking forward with no healing action and living with your happiness "now" is rugsweeping.
You said you haven't given ultimatums, but motivations? Really? 18 days to take her voice off the answering machine? What is wrong with NOW right now?
He is being disrespectful to you. You seem to be settling for the appearance of "better than the dark days" IMO it's no better, just has a little bit of frosting he has applied to make you quiet down and accept...
accept less than you deserve.
It makes me sad for you.
FightingBack - I really don't want to do a 180 if I understand it correctly. I don't want to distance myself in any way. I feel the connection we have now is so much better than during those dark years that I don't want to let go of it.
Not wanting to do the 180 is not the same as saying, we are doing so well in our marriage that I don't need the 180. I get it that you fear that putting the 180 will create distance but really, its about getting control of you and your destiny. you say that the connection you have is better than it was during the affair years but really be honest, is it as good as you want or deserve? Sometimes life is about making hard decisions. I may not want to go to the dentist and have him poke the damn needle and drill into my gums either but I will ultimately go because while that experience may not be fun, its better than suffering day in and day out with a abscess tooth. Sometimes courage is doing what needs to be done, not what we want to do.
FightingBack - I don't quite know what action to take.
Yes, you do. You know what to do. The advice has been given to you by your fellow BS's time after time. Put the 180 into action. You must be able to see that as long as you don't control the reins, the destination you arrive at is out of your control.Right now, your WS is controlling where your life is going and so far, the ride isn't a pretty one.
FightingBack - Well, we found some time alone and he talked - about anything other than my message.
And perhaps, in those words, you have dramatically illustrated his commitment to you and your marriage. Lots of words, little action.
FightingBack - I will not rug sweep. I have taken the only action I can. I don't want to tell him to leave. I don't want to move on without him. We are in this together, so what more can I do?
Gently said, you need to make a decision. and then follow through on it. Instead of thinking that you need to tell him to leave, rethink it as him not taking those steps to stay with you. Its not your fault and instead of you trying to fix the marriage, it should be him that takes the proactive steps. It would seem that as long as you will not make the hard choices, you will only move on if you rug sweep and bury the affair.
Your choice.
Wisdom from Gamine - Make a decision and discipline yourself not to waver. Don't be someone who stands for nothing. Stand for what you decide and back it with the full force of your character and conviction. DECIDE. CHOOSE. COMMIT. PERIOD.
I think I am beginning to really get it now.
Thank you.
Whenever I have asked mine he has said he means to but he can't find the time, or he gets distracted, or he can't focus. If you saw my post about focus we found out last night that this is a really big obstacle for him to be able to do the things I feel are important to his healing and the healing of our M because when he does try, he gets so overwhelmed that his brain just shuts down.
Maybe if he can figure out why he is putting these things off (some of them are honestly SO simple!, changing the vmail??), maybe he can start to work on the smaller ones and make his way up to the big ones.
I'm really hoping that WH to seeing how happy it makes me to see him make progress will be a motivator for him to try other things.

Welcome to Marble Point Winery. Our boutique vineyard is located 13km south of Hanmer Springs and has been producing award-winning wines since 2008.
Marble Point is a small family owned and operated vineyard. Sheryl Dennis along with son Conrad Adams run the vineyard, cellar door and restaurant. We also produce honey from our own hives that we sell through our cellar door
The vineyard was planted in 2004. 4 varieties of grapes were planted
We still plan to remain a small boutique wine tourism vineyard, so have no immediate plans to to increase in size. At present our grapes once picked are transported to Waipara and transformed into wine by the national and international award winning team at Southern Boundary Wines (Waipara Springs + Waipara Downs). We do all our own viticultural work, with a little help during the pruning season
Marble Point is the first vineyard planted in this exciting new wine region, with our grapes grown on old alluvial terraces of the Waiau River.
The Marble Point quarry is fully operational today and produces pink to white marble which is used in commercial flooring and stone bench tops. Visit us today to learn more about this unique area.
At Marble Point we pride ourselves on quality and consistency, resulting in several awards at the 2012 Canterbury Wine Awards and excellent ratings from wine critics. Our award winning wines are made by the expert team at Southern Boundary Wines.
2015 Marble Point Riesling 'The Mother-in-law'
Purpose made low alcohol style of wine. 7.6% Alc, Residual Sugar 60g/L
TASTING NOTES; This is a rich and vibrant low alcohol wine. Aromas of lemon, lime, fresh spring flowers and orange sherbet are apparent on the nose. The palate is rich, opulent and balanced. There is a fresh note of citrus peel that runs through the wine, moving through into the floral and sherbet like characteristic of the mid palate and finishing with well-balanced acidity nurturing the natural sweetness of the wine .
HARVEST DATE: 12th April 2015
Brix 18.3
pH 3.27
TA 8.0g/L
GRAPE SOURCE/REGION: North Canterbury, 2254 Mouse Point Road SH7 Tekoa Range, Hanmer Springs
FERMENTATION NOTES: Fruit from Marble Point Vineyard near Hanmer Springs was machine harvested and bought to the winery. The fruit was pressed slowly and gently, and the juice transferred to tank. The juice was gently fined and allowed to settle for 48 hours at 8°C. The clear juice was then racked to tank where it was then warmed and inoculated with a selected yeast strain for fermentation. For the majority of ferment the tank temperature was maintained at a relatively cool 11°C to assist in the retention of desirable aromatics and also to assist in the stopping of the ferment when the appropriate balance was achieved. After stopping the ferment the wine was allowed to sit on yeast lees for a period of one month before being racked and the process of preparing the wine for bottling began.

FERMENTATION NOTES: The fruit from this unique vineyard was harvested and delivered to the winery on the 5th of May. At the winery the fruit was loaded in the press and pressed gently over an extended period to minimize the extraction of phenolics. The juice was then pumped to a stainless tank, minimally fined and the juice allowed to settle at 8°C for a period of two days. The clear juice was then racked to another stainless tank, warmed and inoculated with the classic Riesling yeast strain SiHa7. The fermentation was maintained at between 12-14°C in order to retain the maximum amount of aromatic compounds as possible. The ferment stopped of its own accord despite attempts to gently coax it along. The wine was then sulphured and a small amount of bentonite added to assist in clarification. After a period of six weeks on gross lees for the development of richness and complexity, the wine was racked to neutral oak barrels for a period of two months to further facilitate the wines development. After this time the wine was racked from barrel back to stainless tank where it was fined, cold stabilized and prepared for bottling.

The fermenter was pumped over twice daily for the next 5 days at ambient temperature to assist in the extraction of colour. The must was then warmed and inoculated with a selected yeast strain. At the first sign of fermentation pump overs ceased and we began hand plunging 3 times daily. At the end of primary fermentation plunging was reduced to 2 times daily until the desired level of tannin extraction was achieved.

García; Saul Santivañez; Robert H. Gilman ++ Five species of Echinococcus have been recognized to date. Echinococcus granulosus, E multilocularis, and more rarely E vogeli and E oligarthrus infect humans with their larval stages. The definitive hosts are canids, except for E oligarthrus, which includes wild felids as intermediate hosts. Humans become accidental intermediate hosts when the eggs from the feces of dogs, wolves, or other canids are ingested. A fifth species, E. shiquicus, has been recently recognized, but it is not known whether it may infect humans.1,2 ++ The adult worm of E granulosus is found in the intestine of dogs, wolves, and other canids. The worm measures only about 0.5 cm in length. It has a scolex with hooks; a neck region; one immature, one mature, and one gravid proglottid. The dog usually harbors hundreds or thousands of adult tapeworms.1,3 The eggs, which are morphologically similar to those of Taenia species, are excreted in the feces. When an intermediate host, such as sheep, ingests the eggs, the embryo hatches from the egg, penetrates the intestinal mucosa, and enters lymphatics or blood vessels. The host defense mechanisms destroy many embryos, but those surviving develop into expanding cystic structures called hydatid cysts (Fig. 338-1). The rapidity of cyst growth is quite variable and partially dependent upon the tissue localization, but an increase in diameter of 1 cm or more per year is not uncommon, with faster growth in children. Spherical brood capsules arise from the inner germinal membrane of the cyst wall. Protoscolices, the precursors to the scolices of the adult worms, develop from germinal membrane and the inner surface of the brood capsules and accumulate within the cyst as "hydatid sand" (Fig. 338-2). If the cyst, or a portion of it, is eaten by a suitable definitive host, adult tapeworms develop in the small intestine. Hydatid cysts are capable of developing in nearly any tissue, including the central nervous system and bone; however, 90% of them develop in either the liver or the lung, most frequently in the liver.3,4 ++Figure 338-1.Graphic Jump Location+View Full Size|Favorite Figure|Download Slide (.ppt)A hydatid cyst capsule removed surgically from the lung.

However, there have been foci of infection among Basque shepherds in California, Mormon ranchers in Utah, and Native Americans in Arizona ...

Shaw Mansion
Nathaniel Shaw Jr. served as Connecticut's Naval Agent, so throughout the Revolution the lavish Shaw Mansion served as headquarters for the state's navy as well as sixty privateers. It was one of the few buildings to survive the burning of New London by Benedict Arnold in 1781. The Mansion is now the home of the New London County Historical Society.
First Congregational Church, Lebanon
From fiery sermons against English rule to pleas for parishioners to send donations to the people of blockaded Boston, Lebanon's clergy helped push local residents to support independence. The current church was designed by Revolutionary War veteran and artist John Trumbull in 1804.
New London Harbor Light
Established as a beacon in the early 1700s, New London Harbor Light was formally established as a lighthouse in 1759. Benedict Arnold landed his troops here prior to burning down the city in 1781. It is the fourth lighthouse recognized by George Washington when he enacted the 1789 Act for the Establishment and support of Lighthouse, Beacons, Buoys, and Public Piers.
