Winter Equestrian Festival Week 1 Wrap-Up, January 26 30, 2005
Wellington, FL
The first week of the 33rd Annual Winter Equestrian Festival was held January 26 through January 30 at the Palm Beach Polo Equestrian Club in Wellington, Florida. The five day show, the Nutrena/Western Hay Wellington Classic CSI 2* featured topnotch equestrians competing in eight rings. Javier Fernandez of Mexico was the Internationale Ring Course Designer. Six more weeks of competition are scheduled at the Wellington venue before the festival moves to Tampa and the Bob Thomas Equestrian Center for two additional weeks of equestrian excellence. The grand finale is the $200,000 Budweiser American Invitational at Raymond James Stadium, Saturday night, April 2, 2005.
2004 Athens Olympic Silver Medalist Beezie Madden and Conquest II win the $35,000 Farr XTN Grand Prix of Palm Beach
It was a battle of the Olympic ladies Sunday afternoon at the Winter Equestrian Festival. A stellar crowd of 8,095 enthusiastic fans were on hand to see 2004 Athens Olympic Silver Medalist Beezie Madden and Conquest II edge Casadora ridden by 2000 Olympian Lauren Hough by 8/10ths of a second for the win in the $35,000 Farr XTN Grand Prix of Palm Beach.
The first of seven Sunday features drew a starting field of 48 competitors for the CSI 2* event. A record setting twenty horses completed the first round course without penalty, the largest jump off field in the twenty five year history of the class, topping the previous record of fourteen, set the first year the class was offered back in 1979.
Lauren Hough aboard the Casadora Groups Casadora was the first to master the first round course and thus was first to return for the timed tiebreaker. Hough knew she would have nineteen challengers that would follow her ride in the speed round and she put the pedal to the metal. Houghs jump-off ride was breathtaking. The crowd exploded as she flashed across the finish line in 39.05 seconds.
Her performance was so dominating that next fourteen that followed all fell by the wayside. Those that were clean werent nearly fast enough and Laura Kraut, who was the only one to top her time (by 1.08 seconds), pulled a rail ending up ninth as the fastest four fault performance.
Houghs lead lasted until Beezie Madden cruised into the ring in the sixteenth spot in the jump-off. She was up on Conquest II, owned by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Patton. The crowd, already appreciative of her Silver Medal ride at the Olympic Games in Athens, was about to enjoy Madden even more.
Maddens dash to the first fence gave notice that she hadnt saddled up to come in second and when her amazing jump off ride was over, the clock delivered the news of a 9/10ths of a second win. 39.05 seconds flashed on the board and the crowd, already on their feet, erupted.
Asked after the class if she had watched Houghs jump-off ride, Madden laughed, I did watch her and I figured we were all going for second place after that.
Hough mentioned that many times a fast round early can put additional pressure on those that follow. In a class like this with so many in the jump-off, when they have to go after you, theyll often have some rails while trying to go too fast to catch you. I think that happened to a few today, she said.
So, where did Madden find the extra 9/10ths of a second? I think maybe to fence one I was a little faster than Lauren and then I actually added a stride at the original fence two, but that made me faster to the jump on the end, explained Madden.
How can adding a stride make you faster? Madden gave the details.
She did seven and I did eight, but her long seven strides took her on a much wider turn after fence two to the fence on the end, Said Madden. Because I added a stride I was able to make a tighter turn and had the shorter line to that the jump at the top of the ring. I think that was the difference because we were stride for stride after that.
Jumper Highlights Wednesday through Saturday
At the Internationale Arena, two time American Invitational champion Molly Ashe of Wellington, Florida on Rosewood Glens King Louie emerged victorious in the 1.45m Jumpers to win the first class on the first day of the 2005 Winter Equestrian Festival. Jeffery Welles won both halves of the 1.40m that afternoon with Penelope and Octavius, respectively.
For the second straight year, Athens Olympic Silver Medalist McLain Ward aboard Double H Farms Goldika 559 emerged victorious in Round One of the $25,000 WEF Challenge Cup Series.
Ward cranked it up from the start, made some amazing cuts and let a very fast horse do her thing. Ward flew to the finish with a clean round in 40.62 seconds for the win, their second year in a row in the winners circle. I was very fast to the double and made a very good cut back to the blue vertical, but the bottom line is, shes just a very fast horse, Ward said.
Cara Raether and News, owned by Trelawny Farm in 41.08 seconds finished second and Laura Kraut riding Milona for Peter Wetherill finished third in 41.24
In the first round we had to knock the rust off a bit, Ward joked. But then she felt in perfect form in the jump-off. Thats her forte. Shes so fast and so careful and I was just thrilled with her today, he said.
Speed was the name of the game Friday as a field of 83 competitors turned out for the $5000 Acorn Hill Speed Challenge on Friday. The format for the Speed Challenge was Table II Section 1, Faults and Time in the First Round, or as its sometimes called, fastest clear round.
2000 Olympian Laura Kraut aboard the Pasmore Stables Antigua RG emerged victorious, coming home fault free and breaking the finish line beams in a blazing time of 55.517 seconds.
Sprite, ridden by her owner, Laura Chapot, finished second. Chapot posted a time of 56.569 seconds to pick up the red ribbon. Third place went to the early leader in the class, Ramiro Quintana and LaBelle, owned by the Turnabout Farm. Quintana crossed the finish line in 56.875 seconds.
A field of 29 jumpers turned out for the $20,000 1.50m Classic, the featured event on Saturday afternoon. 13 of the 29 starters produce clear rounds. Nine horse and rider combinations had four faults in round one.
Poleander, owned by the October Farms with Cody Baird in the irons, had the Internationale Arena crowd buzzing with the first jump and turn. It was apparent that this was going to be a very fast ride. Very fast and very tight turns produced a clean round and a time that wouldnt be caught for the rest of the afternoon. Baird stormed across the finish line in 32.406 seconds, good enough for a two second margin of victory.
According to Baird, the tight turns were the key to victory. They were both very fast, Baird said. But, the turning is whats so important. Thats probably where I won the class today, Baird explained. The turns were very neat and clean and I just did my best to hold them together, help them as much as I could and stay out of their way, she laughed.
Hunter Highlights January 26 30
The first hunter championship awarded at WEF was in the Regular Conformation Hunters. Popeye K and Tommy Serio, riding for owner Elizabeth Spender of Keswick, VA, walked away with the tricolor ribbon after winning three out of four classes on Wednesday. Reserve champion was In Disguise and Shachine Belle, who rode for owner Ellen Toon of South Salem, NY. Although Serio is quite used to winning, he smiled when asked about starting the year with a championship. He revealed, Im a little superstitious. When Im playing poker, I hate to win the first hand. Winning the first week here is great though.
The Regular Working Hunter division had a runaway winner this week. Gray Slipper and Louise Serio won three out of four over fences classes and received second place in the remaining two classes of the division. The elegant gray gelding is owned by Bridget Hallman of Oyster Bay, NY. Reserve champion went to Take Away, ridden by Havens Schatt and owned by Cortie Wetherill of Malvern, PA.
The Second Year Green Working Hunters at WEF have a new star in the first week of competition. High Cotton and Ken Smith won three over fences classes over the past two days and collected the championship. Smith rode for owner Christy Russo of Miami, FL. Reserve Champion in the Second Year division went to Cool Blue and Scott Stewart, who rode for owner Carolyn Kelly of New York, NY.
The First Year Green Working Hunter division was split into two sections due to 61 entries. Section A wrapped up on Friday, with Tim Goguen and Corvet Z walking away with the championship. The collaboration with Corvet Z is new for Goguen, who only recently picked up the ride for Jerry and Kathy Newman of Wellington, FL. I only rode the horse one other week, and he was quite green. He showed a little bit last year in the Pre Greens, but he doesnt have a whole lot of mileage, said Goguen. This week he was consistent, which was really nice. Reserve champion in Section A of the First Year Green division went to Endearing and Chad Watridge, who rode for owner Lynn Rogers of Wellington, FL.
Unlike Goguen and Corvet Zs new partnership, the First Year Green Section B champions, Without Question and Rob Bielefeld, have a winning history behind them. The duo won the 2004 WEF Pre Green Hunter circuit championship, and were champions at this show last year in the Pre Green division. Bielefeld and owner Regi Baker of Venice, FL, were thrilled with the win this week. Bielefeld remarked, We are going for the circuit championship again this year! Danny Robertshaw rode Island Heart for Betsy Fauntleroy of Richmond, VA, to the reserve championship in Section B.
The familiar faces of the imposing grey gelding Inverness and rider/owner Sherry Robertson graced the winners circle again this year in the Adult Amateur 51 & Over hunters Inverness and Robertson, of Edgemont, PA, were the 2004 WEF Adult Amateur 51 & Over circuit champions. They edged out Red Dragon and Betty Oare, of Warrenton, VA, who received the reserve championship this week. Indian Summer and Holly Caristo, of Hauppage, NY, won the Section B Adult Amateur 51 & Over tricolor. They won three out of the four classes in the division and placed third in the remaining class. Reserve champion for Section B was awarded to Que Sera and Bruce Duchossois of Aiken, SC.
Only one hunter championship was presented on Saturday, and it was awarded to Jazz and Francesca Caroli of Canada in the Amateur Owner 18-35 Hunters. It was a close race for the championship with Danielle Torano and her pretty dappled gray, Mirage. Mirage and Torano, of Fort Lauderdale, FL, won two over fences classes and were third in another and had to settle for the reserve championship.
Equitation riders have their sights set on the R.W. Ronnie Mutch Equitation Classic, held during the last week of the Winter Equestrian Festival. They had their first chance to qualify in the USEF Show Jumping Talent Search and the Washington International Horse Show (WIHS) Equitation Class. The USEF Talent Search, with 65 entries, was split into two sections. The Section A winner was Haylie Jayne of Elgin, IL. Sloane Coles of Colts Neck, NJ, was the winner in Section B. In the WIHS Equitation Class Haylie Jayne won both the hunter and jumper sections to be the overall champion.
It was déjà vu all over again at the Grand Hunter Field on Sunday, as Pavarotti and Teri Kessler of Bedford Corners, NY, picked up their championship ribbon in the Amateur Owner 36 & Over Hunters. Kessler and her beautiful bay gelding came from a disappointing day yesterday to win the first over fences class and place second in the stakes class today. Kessler edged out Berringer and Kathy Mailloux of Wellington, FL, who settled for the reserve champion. The comeback was eerily reminiscent to Kessler, because her daughter Reed accomplished a similar feat only minutes earlier in the Small Pony Hunters on Cardiff Mardi Gras. Reed Kessler and her pony Cardiff Mardi Gras received no ribbons yesterday, but won both over fences classes today to win the championship over My Little Dickens and Megan Davis of Lutherville, MD.
Katharine Newman won the Small Junior 15 & Under championship on her mount Fancy That. Newman rode Fancy That for owner Whitney Roper of Rumson, NJ. Davis Cup and owner/rider Alexandra Stathis of Essex Falls, NJ were reserve champion.
Rio Bravo owned by Sale Johnson and W.G.H.R. Farm of New York, NY and ridden by Addison Philips handily won the Large Junior 15 & Under championship. Renoir and Kelsey Rae Calabro of Water Mill, NY, won the reserve champion.

Lorraine Ellison (March 17, 1931 – January 31, 1983)[1] was an American soul singer known for her recording of the song "Stay with Me"[2] (sometimes known as "Stay With Me Baby") in 1966.
Life and career[edit]
Born Marybelle Luraine Ellison,[3] in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Ellison originally sang gospel music, working in the groups the Ellison Singers and the Golden Chords in the early 1960s. She switched to the R&B genre in 1964. Her first chart entry was "I Dig You Baby" in 1965[4] on Mercury Records, which reached #22 on the U.S. Billboard R&B chart.
She signed with Warner Bros. Records, and in 1966 recorded "Stay with Me" at a last minute booking, following a studio cancellation by Frank Sinatra.[5] "Stay with Me" reached number 11 in the U.S. Billboard R&B chart and number 64 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song was produced and written by Jerry Ragovoy. Later releases were on the subsidiary soul music record label, Loma.[6] Her follow-up single was "Heart Be Still" a minor hit in 1967.[7] Ellison also recorded "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)", a song later covered to more success by Janis Joplin.[6]
Ellison composed many of her own songs (by herself and with manager Sam Bell) and had her own compositions recorded by several other artists, including Jerry Butler, Garnet Mimms, Howard Tate and Dee Dee Warwick.
Twice-married and using the surname Gonzalez-Keys, Lorraine Ellison gave up the music business in order to take care of her mother. Ellison died in January 1983 from ovarian cancer at the age of 51.[8]

How to Calculate Calories in a Recipe
Calories are a measurement of how much energy is in one serving of food. Gaining an understanding of the total number of calories eaten can assist in helping to manage weight, according to the Food and Drug Administration. The amount of calories consumed in a recipe is based upon the total serving. Recipes may or may not have the total number of calories listed, but a few steps can assist in identifying the number of calories per serving.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Divide a piece of paper into two columns and label them packaged foods and non-packaged foods. Separate the foods in your recipe into the two categories. On the left side of the paper, list packaged foods or foods with a nutrition facts label. On the right side of the paper, list non-packaged foods, such as fruits and vegetables, that are in the recipe.
Step 2
Write down the number of calories that are in each serving of packaged ingredient in your recipe on the left side of the paper. For example, if 1 cup of sugar is 774 calories and 2 cups of sugar are needed, then multiply two times 774 calories to get 1,548 calories from sugar in the recipe. The number of calories can be found on the back or side of the product on the nutrition facts label.
Step 3
Access an on-line food tool such as the United States Department of Agriculture National Nutrient Database to find the total number of calories in non-packaged foods. Enter the name of the food and the quantity listed in the recipe into the tool. The total number of calories in the nutrient table is called energy. Write down the total energy number for the food on the right side of the page. Complete this process for each additional non-packaged food in the recipe. If all foods are in packaged items, this step can be skipped.
Step 4
Add the total number of calories in the recipe from both packaged and non-packaged foods. Write this number down.
Step 5
Identify the total number of servings in the recipe. Write this number down.
Step 6
Divide the total number of calories in the recipe by the total number of servings. For example, if the recipe has a total of 2,800 calories and serves eight people, 2,800 calories divided by eight servings is 350 calories per serving.

They do in the ones I've been in. Not like directly squatting on the floor, but there is resulting urine on the floor.
It's been explained to me that because the seats are so filthy women hover rather than sit, this apparently reduces accuracy which results in filthy seats and over the course of the day it builds up.
Then there IS the intentional places, because Baltimore is a sad, sad wasteland of depravity and shame.
Bathrooms are foul foul places for both genders.

I've cleaned both, and both are ad. I have found men's rooms tend to be renovated less, so they are soaked with old smells and look less clean because old floors and walls look dirty no matter how you scrub them.
I attest to the hovering. There ought to be lessons in proper toilet hovering.
Or we could all go to squat toilets.

wait, all of this is because you can't tell the difference between women as a group and an individual woman?
In the rhetoric of feminism I can't:
"Women are strong and equal to men. You can not restrict their access just because of their gender."
"Women need safe places away from men because the are afraid and vulnerable. There must be some women only place that men can't go."
Believing in equality does not mean believing everyone is the same. Or that the world is actually at the moment equal.
It shouldn't be the case that women need safe places but it sadly is. You can both work towards a world where women will no longer have a need for women only places while also working for women only spaces for the moment.

Most of the couches in bathrooms I see are in department stores. Most other places have gone to the family bathroom or seperate breastfeeding room instead of the couch in the women's room.

To let everyone know and believe that women are strong and equal to men is what we WANT.
To give women safe spaces because they are vurnerable is what we currently NEED.
I wish we didn't NEED safe spaces but currently we do, because not everyone believes women are as strong and equal as men.

i still don't think strong has any relationship to being equal. we should be equal because we are all human beings. some of us are strong, some of us are weak, physically, morally, or whatever way you want to put it. yes, it should be recognized that women can be strong, in many ways - but that's a different thing. it's like saying "women are good at math and equal to men". some are, and some aren't. (good at math.)

my answer to the whole thing is that womens only spaces are generally a good idea for the same reason why women's only gyms are a good idea.
protected classes, external issues with no inflicted-on-male analogues, and strict scrutiny also play in if you want to talk about it as a legal issue.

This thread was a disappointment. He kept talking about logical definitions and then just as I posted he abandoned ship. Not that I need to spend more time arguing on the Internet, and I guess that's what I get for showing up late.

plus it turns out his women-only space was some odd thing celebrating menstruation. that's pretty undeniably a women-only thing; i'm not sure why a guy would feel it was sexist that it didn't include him. some things are definitely limited to one gender or the other by biology; acknowledging that is hardly sexist. why would someone think it was? does he really want someone to figure out a way to do pap smears on men, just so they wouldn't be excluded from this women-only activity?
because i'm telling you right now, feminist though i am, i am _not_ going to start insisting on my equal right to a digital rectal exam.

I didn't abandon ship I just really had nothing more to say. The distinction between the individual and the group seemed to be the core of the rational. It makes sense to me.
Like I said I don't have much investment in women only whatever. I mentioned the red tent because that was the only one I have ever saw. I also found the concept that men can not be full fledged feminists a contradiction. I don't like hypocrisy. It sets me on edge. But I resolved it in the general sense so I'm good now.
I find that the arguments on this board don't really get to the core or anything. It stays on a very surface level of rhetoric. Basically I want to talk about the Platonic form of the chair and the board wants to talk about it's color. So we talk past each other a it gets frustrating for all. I say "are all chairs are connected?" you say "you fucking moron that ones red and this one is blue".
I also find the narrative of "women need special safety" odd. Personally I would justify women only spaces with the scientific data that show subtle changes in group dynamic in women only groups. Honestly I don't think your argument is going to convince many people because it portrays women as broken and men as monsters. The fact that you keep on going back to that kind of make it sound like you have a pretty low opinion of women in general. Not that I am saying this is your actual opinion it's just how it comes across.
I think my argument is better for the practice. But that is just a mater of opinion.
I am also just tired of the juvenile name calling. I made an appeal to you better nature and got your worst.

perhaps you should've tried coming in arguing in good faith, then.
on the other hand if you think you're actually getting anywhere by talking about anything like Platonic forms then i can see why the "logic center of your brain" does a lot of crying.

It's comments like this that make me really wonder why people feel the need to start posting in a place they obviously know nothing about.
Like. I get that name calling is pretty silly... but if you expected something else, you simply haven't been paying attention.
It's pretty cute how you think this is our worst, though. I'd say 'endearing' but, well, it's not that.

i don't think anyone here has ever said men can't be full-fledged feminists. there are certainly a number of men on this board that have, in my opinion, shown themselves to be such.
and i am genuinely confused at your apparent inability to understand "women need special safety". do you really not know anything about incidences of rape by gender? about the physical risk women with abusive partners have? i can accept the argument that men also can be the abused partner, and i think it only fair that men be provided with similar shelters, which should be men-only if that is what makes them feel safe. part of getting a truly equal society is to accept that both sexes can be at risk. but that doesn't mean all the shelters need to be gender-inclusive, just that the system of shelters should be so.
maybe you think every woman thinks it necessary to spend all of her time in women-only safe spaces? because actually, very few women (at least in the u.s.) actually need or use such spaces. really, only the ones who have an immediate need for them - women who are in abusive relationships, who have been threatened by their partners. millions of women are in relationships where they feel completely safe with their partners; millions more are not in relationships, and so their 'safe space' is their own home - you would not deny that everyone has the right to make their own home safe, and can determine who they chose to let in, would you? how much time do you think the average woman spends, or wants to spend, in a designated women-only safe space?
maybe i should turn it around - what is your basis for believing that women are at no greater risk of physical harm than men?
sorry not to put this in the form of a platonic dialog; i'm a scientist, not a philosopher. and i don't think people are furniture.

So you knew about the menstruation tents before making this thread, but couldn't figure out why that would be a women-only space?
So where's the outrage that women's bathrooms don't have urinals?
If you're of the opinion that you started this thread in good faith, the evidence doesn't seem to support that and should more than explain the general response that you received.

Touche. Covering yourself in steaks and then complaining that you were not treated civilly in your walk through the lions den does lack a certain level of self-awareness. It was dumb of me to expect anything else. Still it kind of wears me out after a while.
Now on the topic of victim hood the problem with that line of argument is everyone is a victim of something.
As a kid I was beat up pretty badly by an older boy who was Asian. Do I have the right to create Asian free spaces? I went to the hospital. It was quite traumatic. Under the victimhood argument I should be able to put a No Asians Allow sign up on a space I set up in the park, right?
No, I can't, because that is discriminatory. I could refuse to let Jackie Chan into my space. I can make a case by case decision but can't make a blanket statement.
So then here you have two people how have been victimized. One a man another a women. In one case you do the discriminatory thing and set up the safe space in the other you deny the safe space because it is discriminatory. It is a double standard. The only way you can justify it is by claiming the woman is different from the man in being a victim. That she is in some way more fragile.
And I can cut the world in ways where the number of male victims is greater than the number of female victims of abuse so it 's not the quantity. For example to people who've encountered terrorism get to make and Arab free space?
The argument further disintegrates when you start talking about cross dressers and transsexuals. If the space is for safety only then you can not allow transsexuals or cross-dresser in because they could still make the victimized woman feel unsafe. Under this logic you are force to turn them away despite their self identification because it's what victim feels that maters.
And what about lesbians. Couldn't a victim of sexual abuse feel uncomfortable around anyone who would be sexual attracted to them. You would have to ban all lesbians because remember we are making a blanket statement here. It's not a case by case judgement its anything that could cause discomfort.
On the other side what about gay men. Should they be allowed into the space due to their lack of interest in women. Or is appearing to be male the problem. Does that mean no masculine looking women?
Furthermore what if none of the women in the space has been abused? How is the existence of the space justified then? By all right if at any time their is no abused women in a women only space it would need to be opened up to men because the rational for it gone. You would need a token abused women in the space at all times. Which would be weird.
Using victimhood as the core rational causes the argument to disintegrate. Supporting victims can be a benefit but it can't be the reason.
So let's back up and use a different meaning of the word "safe". When I go out with drink with coworkers I don't invite my boss because it makes everyone feel more "safe". My boss is a great guy and no one is afraid of him. But the conversation is just more free when he is not around. We don't feel like we have to watch ourselves. No one has to be a victim in this scenario no one has to be weak.
So why do women need such spaces? Why shut down the men's clubs and then create women's clubs? The best argument women's have different brains. Not weaker brains, mind you, but brains that are much more cued in to social structure. There is more psychological benefit for a normal healthy woman than a normal healthy man. And in the fact that women as a group are at a slight social disadvantage in the world and the woman only space is a way to level the playing-field.
Men's clubs provided no psychological benefit and maintained an unfair social structure.
Women's clubs provide profound psychological benefit and help to create a fairer social structure.
This argument is one that comes from a place of strength instead of weakness. It talks about women's natural talents instead of their venerability. It is more open and inclusive that a space set up around fear.
We are not talking about support groups here after all. Obviously an abuse support group has to be restrictive but my understanding or a woman's space is that it is for all women. You don't need to be fearful and broken to enter.
Frankly I feel it is a better argument.
But if you want to use yours, you feel yours is stronger. Fine.
@TIAB - Why are you comparing menstruation tents to urinals? Are you claiming that women in the tents drop their pants a spray blood everywhere? I don't think they work that way. And if they do... Yuck.
On the broader note of good faith I had a question about the logical constancy of certain things. I started the thread got my answer and left. Then people complained that I had left. So I came back and explained why I left.
Now I am leaving again because I really have nothing else I want to say. I can't really imagine what agenda I would have by posting this thread anyway. What do you think I am trying to do? Because currently I am accomplishing a whole lot of nothing.

The inspiration of our story books
Indonesia is home to some of the most ecologically important stands of tropical rainforest in the world. Between providing habitat for important species and keeping a wealth of carbon out of our atmosphere, these unique ecosystems have everything – everything but protection that is. Global demand for paper and clothing is helping drive their destruction.
Animal Kingdom
The biodiversity of Indonesia's rainforests is among the planet's highest: orangutans, tigers, elephants and rhinos all call them home. These days, home is a pretty risky place. All of these mammals, and countless other species, are listed as critically endangered, due largely to habitat destruction from deforestation.
Indonesia's forests contain:
10% of the world's mammal species
16% of our planet's bird species
11% of earth's plant species
Logging these rich biospheres for pulp, paper and clothing, then replacing them with acacia tree and palm oil plantations is short sighted. This is the forest equivalent of paving paradise to put up a parking lot.
Species Under Stress
It is feared that the already stressed Sumatran elephant population might be extinguished in the Bukit Tigapuluh Forest Landscape due to a new plantation recently approved by the government. Of the ~500 remaining Sumatran tigers, it is estimated that at least 20% live on unprotected land at high risk for logging.
For orangutans, life is not better. A 2003 report from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species counted 7,300 Sumatran orangutans in the wild. That number has since declined to a conservative estimate of 6,600 and it is thought Sumatran orangutans will be the first Great Ape species to go extinct.

Avior32 - IoT & Brain of Things module
- Details
- Category: Uncategorised
- Created: 28 October 2015
- Hits: 12795
Towards a More Smart Thing for Automation and Internetwork
|Besides its complexity, dimension of Avior32 are set to 8.4cm x 3.4cm.
(Examples of dimensions from two real Microduino paired, Avior32 A rendering, A Microduino with a coin and an Arduino Uno)
The Brain of Things (BoT) vs the Internet of Things (IoT)
add an important feature to those interconnected and automated Things,
the power of functional languages or languages used for artificial intelligence (like Haskell, or LISP), while supporting the simplicity to use languages like Python, Lua, and .NET, now widely accepted and well supported on single core 32 bit Microcontrollers. This real-time and multiprocess software system can't be achieved with this languages without a proper OS and a special hardware like Avior32 with 16 logical core MCU.
Avior32 concept is born to concentrate in a single miniaturized module with the stacking possibility the needed connections for batteries, the old but not replaceable (in terms of automation) RS485, as well as extension modules (Wi-Fi, ETH, 6LoWPaN, 868MHz, Zigbee etc), with an MCU extensible with Software peripherals. Then what born do not remain fixed.
The use of Xmos xCore-200, top Class MCU, comed after a long list of evalued candidates among ST, Atmel, Microchip, TI and Parallax. Finally we selected Xmos and it's the time to start.
"Because each peripheral driver is encapsulated in a single CPU, performance doesn't suffer – or indeed, change at all – when you add more code to the other CPUs. That's a big philosophical change from traditional processors. Even multicore chips can't entirely separate the software effects of one CPU on another CPU. Threads can compete for shared memory, invalidate each other's caches, delay interrupt response, and more."
But Something was still missing. The board was not optimized for Low power functions, like stay up and running even for a year from a single cell.
So that Like in a Brain also in the hardware we have sepeared two problems with not integrable solution and done a simmetric hardware with one side specialized in Low power (that can handle most of communication for example) with state of the art technology and one side with huge power and external SDRAM to run specialized or Huge application still with the best around ready to handle complex job like Computer Vision.
For GPIO and Peripherals extension, we accomodated two Microduino form factor headers, in order to stack extension boards on it one for each side of the board(each side of the brain), and four Type-C connectors to be used in combination with external custom cables/male/female/headers. This to keep maximum of flexibility without wasting any resource. Another Type-C is used to Power and control both the MCU both by UART & USB. Type-C ---> PC Board with hub for 4 USB ---> USB-A, USB-B, UART-A, UARTB out with only one cable. This is the Only Type-C on the board with reversible-USB ability and is placed on the center.
The Type-C is a very well done and cheap connector, it solved also the problem to Link many board together (in Xmos Link or Simply by I2C/SPI), to deliver power to the board, as well as to drain power from the board connected to another power cable/source. One of the Type-C is specialized to carry Battery Vbat + - from an external cell.
Regarding the base networking, still thinking to the embedded world, we selected RS485 (6lobac) for wired networking, and SPI (SDCard) to connect various SDCard shaped modules with various (the market is plenty of not standard solutions between sub 1GHz to 2.4Ghz) cards / adapters. So at the base we have just the RS485 with snap in cards for wireless.
The last problem with Avior board was, "hey the node becomed too much expensive to use it everywhere!"
so that Trapezium1 was set as complementary or why not stand alone very low cost solution.
(the way it is born) Different from Avior32 with a lot more planning.
Avior32 Specs:
in future a port of NuttX (as soon as the port is completed) in combination with various interpreters even powerful one like Haskell, .Net Micro, Python (Micropython with Computer Vision extensions - OpenMV). The NuttX + interepreters work will be then integrated in Alcor6L OS (our NuttX distribuition) that will be NuttX + Several VM/Interpreters running at once.
The bare minimum set of software in order to proceed with other connected & related projects like Mira128, is NuttX + Lisp running on the STM32L4 and Bare metal Micropython (OpenMV) running on Xmos XU216.

The 3 Basic Technologies Behind Indoor Navigation Apps
When you're driving from your office to a new lunch location or taking a cross-country trip to a different state you'll likely use GPS to navigate. Utilizing GPS helps you figure out where you are, where you're going, and how to get there. But what if you're inside a mall or a train station? How would you find your way to Gate 4B in an airport by using GPS? You can't. However, indoor navigation technology is a way to provide and utilize a GPS-type function inside a building.
The GPS Problem
The problem with tapping into standard GPS technologies in order to help people navigate around a building, though, is that most people can't get a GPS signal indoors. This is particularly true in buildings where you have to go underground or where existing structures block GPS signal. The developers of indoor navigation systems, however, have found three ways to get around this problem.
Indoor Navigation Via Wi-Fi
One way you can provide indoor navigation services is to utilize Wi-Fi, something most people have on their smartphones. Using Wi-Fi and connecting it to an app can help users navigate the interior of a building or structure without needing GPS.
Indoor Navigation Via Beacons
Bluetooth can also come to the rescue when dealing with the lack of GPS signal indoors. Beacons work based on BLE standards, or Bluetooth Low Energy, which means they sync with every phone that operates Bluetooth. Since Bluetooth is accurate within one to three meters, it makes for a great alternative to GPS when navigating indoors.
Indoor Navigation Via Ultra-wideband
Ultra-wideband is arguably the best option for navigating indoors because it's accurate within centimeters instead of meters. Additionally, there's a very low lag time because it requests positions up to 100 times a second. It can also measure height differences, allowing apps to detect floor level and other pertinent information.
All of these technologies are excellent ways to help visitors travel indoors. Utilizing these technologies, businesses, airports, train stations, malls, and many other establishments will be able to guide their visitors with ease via smartphone apps. Arguments could be made for applications in education, as well, allowing teachers to become their own docents, easily guiding their class through an aquarium or zoo.

Haven't done a book post in a while – between work and the kids it's a miracle that I even get the time to read but somehow I make it happen and I love the escape! Much to Hubby's dismay, if it's a really good one, I'm up til all hours in bed with the light on as I page my way through….
So, my top three reads in the past few months include:
A great thriller set in London with some interesting twists – read if you loved Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl – very much the same dark, questioning vibe…
2. The Seven Sisters by Lucinda Riley
The first in a 7 part series – this book is thick, so prepare to exercise those arm muscles! Had me continuously trying to guess how everyone/everything in the story was connected. Set partly in France, partly in Brazil, jumping between characters and generations/time – loved it, can't wait for second book to be released in November… Just hope that I'm not over it by book seven!
3. The Day We Disappeared – Lucy Robinson
My friend Francesca was spouting off about this on FB because she was Lucy Robinson's publicist for the book – so I downloaded it in support of her efforts and albeit a bit slow to start, totally got into it and thoroughly enjoyed it all the way to the plot twist at the end!
Would love to hear recommendations for new books to try if anyone has any?

As managing director, Jim oversees the business operations, growth and staff development of Allison+Partners' UK + Ireland teams. He also provides strategic counsel to a variety of clients in the regions, including ThoughtWorks, Viber, UL, PKWARE and a recent project for Byron Hamburgers. Jim's rich, 20-year career has spanned the consumer, corporate and entertainment sectors. Prior to joining Allison+Partners, he spent nine years working in various roles at London-based freuds in global corporate communications and in the consumer practice for clients such as Mars Inc. and Sky Broadcasting. Prior to that, he ran the film team, working with major U.S. and U.K. film distributors on festival, corporate, unit, theatrical and home entertainment campaigns. Jim began his career at Rogers & Cowan in Los Angeles, where he worked across a combination of entertainment and consumer programs. Jim graduated from the University of Manchester and lives in London with his wife and two sons.
Kings Cross is the site of Allison+Partners' first international office, which opened in 2011 and now serves clients in the UK and Ireland. The location has recently become one of the most exciting neighbourhoods to do business. Not only is it one of the major routes into London from the North, but also a gateway to Europe, with a mixture of innovative startups and global giants such as Google as our neighbours. Much like London itself, our team is a mix of entrepreneurs and our client roster includes a diverse array of global brands and early stage businesses that span the technology, health, travel, entertainment, food and energy sectors. We are passionate about the work we do for our clients and the opportunities they give us to tell their stories. Whether it's placing a feature, writing a speech, managing a launch, creating a social ad plan, producing video content or driving a global communications program, the team has a wide-range of expertise to handle today's most complex communications challenges.
To start the day, we suggest popping around the corner from our office to Dishoom, where you can get a hearty Bombay breakfast. It'll set you up for a great day of spending time at London's many markets.
If you're in the mood for antiquing, spend time on Portobello Road. If coffee or tapas takes your fancy, hit up Borough Market which is conveniently located between Tower Bridge and the Southbank. Otherwise head to East London to pick fresh flowers at Colombia Road Flower market or pastries from Broadway Market.
If the weather isn't on your side, seek shelter in one of the many galleries and museums London has to offer. You can see an exhibit at the Tate Modern, or pop into our local favourite, The Wellcome Collection, for a number of thought-provoking exhibitions.
You'll be ready for a rest, so either grab afternoon tea at The Savoy or try a craft beer at Beavertown Brewery. Make sure to fit in a quick wander around Covent Garden to see some of London's amazing street performers before heading to the Experimental Cocktail Club in Chinatown for a pre-dinner drink. For dinner, mix with the city slickers at Coq D'argent, a rooftop restaurant with fabulous views of the city before heading to a show in the West End or to a live gig in Camden.

How GPS Monitoring Has Revitalized The Transport Industry
Real Time Monitoring
Before global positioning solutions became available, it was essentially impossible to get real-time tracking results on a variety of shipments, caravans, and traveling arrangements. Certainly there were CB radios, but the human element made trusting such communications something not entirely viable.
How can you trust, with one hundred percent accuracy, the report of individuals who are already in a crunch? Even the most straightforward human capital have a marked incentive to put themselves in a better light than reality would describe them.
But with GPS tracking technology, a shipment can be monitored as it transits from point "A" to point "B". This monitoring can be verified in real time, meaning you have actionable data pertaining to arrival times and the security of transportation.
When it comes to applications like military shipments, this kind of accuracy becomes a real game
changer. Even not-for-profit and private agencies find substantial benefits from GPS tech which can identify the progress of shipments in remote areas.
When you can know with certainty the status of a delivery, this allows you to reassure clients and provide specific data pertaining to that which has drawn them to use your services. This makes privatized shipping companies like UPS or Fedex more trustworthy and reliable.
According to GPSTrackit.com, purveyor of a GPS fleet management system, GPS technology represents "an ideal…tracking solution for any business, nonprofit, government or military operation located in a remote area."
Features To Consider When Applying GPS Tracking Technology
Any GPS application should feature on-demand coverage directly via satellite. You should also expect coverage of a global variety; from 75 degrees north latitude to 75 degrees south latitude and everywhere in between where a conventional cellular signal derived from satellite can be utilized.
You should also expect some emergency alert contingency to be involved in tracking. Murphy's Law will manifest in transit, period. This can happen due to weather, mechanical malfunction or political disruption. Whatever is coming against you should be identifiable, and immediate updates should have
the ability to inform clients as to the status of a given shipment.
Something which isn't always considered is data storage. There can be a lot of data involved in tracking shipments in real time, and it makes sense for whatever service you choose to provide data storage of an unlimited variety.
Using All Resources Available
By proactively monitoring transit via GPS, you can avoid areas of poor weather with multiple points of contact on the ground and in the air. You can give clients assurance of delivery based on statistics which are actionable. You can send assistance where it is needed, and modify shipping plans as events make such modifications necessary.
In short, you can exercise greater control over what previously had an element of chance about it which couldn't be overcome. As GPS technology has become more affordable, more and more businesses have begun to put it into regular operations, meaning that your application of this tech could provide competitive advantage as well.

A Changed Game
July 28, 2008
As the Olympics draw closer and closer, through observing the US's olympic preparation, I noticed the distinct differences between todays athletes and yesterday's legends. One difference that really divided me were the physical differences. Watching the Olympic track and field trials, I noticed the build the runners had. They looked like hulks compared to the brawny runners of the past, their stick-like arms and long legs making long and fast strides. And although this new breed of runners doesn't exactly look like the stereotype 1970's sprinters, they can certainly sprint like them — and these days, they can do it faster. It seems like all the news stories in track and field these days are either someone breaking a record, or someone using steroids, but none the less, this kind of popularity definitely doesn't hurt the sport. For me, it also makes it exciting. Reviewing the old tapes of the 70's and 80's was fun for me (I wasn't even close to being alive then), but more fun is watching the races live. I am one of the many people who welcome this new change in sports — and there will certainly be more to come.

PharmFest, the biennial conference hosted by Montclair State University and the HealthCare Institute of New Jersey that explores trends in the life sciences industry, will be held on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 on the campus of Montclair State University in The Conference Center in University Hall.
PharmFest 2016: The Value of Innovation, will focus on the value to patients, the economy and global health from innovations in drug development and medical technology. PharmFest brings together industry leaders, researchers, educators, students and members of the community to network, share ideas, and examine the contributions the life sciences industry makes to curing and improving the quality of life for those with health challenges.
We are honored that Dr. Brian A. Gragnolati, president and CEO of Atlantic Health Systems, will give the opening address. The luncheon keynote speaker will be confirmed imminently. Throughout the day, panelists from life science companies and academic institutions will discuss innovations related to new cures, health care delivery, personalized medicine and analytics in health care and how they translate into improved care and quality of life for patients, their impact to the economy and how they enhance public health. The conference will conclude with a career panel for students and a networking reception.
We are seeking financial support from companies with an interest in this important exchange of ideas through PharmFest sponsorships and program advertisements. The net proceeds will be used for scholarship support, graduate assistantships and student research opportunities for future pharmaceutical research scientists and business managers prepared to lead the industry in the future. Please look over the sponsorship levels and benefits (link on the left) to learn about what each tier means for you.

|Police Reform Bill [Lords]
Mr. Osborne: I agree with the hon. Gentleman, as do my local police officers. They said that the individual who will be detained will probably not be alone but in the company of friends and associates who will stand around the CSO, exerting great pressure on that individual.
Norman Baker: That is exactly right. I understand and support the Government's entirely honourable motives, which are to deal with antisocial situations and low-level crime, which is currently not addressed. However, the Government are being unfair to put CSOs in situations in which they could be surrounded by boisterous individuals and have to hold the situation for half an hour without even the certainty that a police officer would attend within that time. CSOs would not have the same depth of training as police officers to deal with such a situation and they will not have further powers required to handle the situation. They will be exposed to vulnerable situations, such as a Friday night in a town centre. We should not put people in such situations.
Mr. Challen: Perhaps we will hear from the Minister that the issue of training will be taken care of. The hon. Member for Lewes assumes that a CSO will immediately launch into a 30-minute detention in every case regardless of its circumstances. That should be compared with the current actions of the police. If a single police constable recognises a serious situation, he or she is unlikely to enter that situation and put him or herself at risk. The constable would call up a response team, and the call would probably trigger a fairly fast response. I imagine that the same thing would happen in this case and in case of a citizen's arrest. We are making a lot out of not very much.
Norman Baker: I can only respond by repeating points that I have already made. I am happy to recognise that CSOs will receive training. However, they will not and cannot receive the same depth of training as the police. They will not be trained as well as the police.
I painted a scenario in which a CSO would not immediately charge into immediate detention for 30 minutes, but in which that would be the cumulative effect. I do not think that CSOs will go into a situation and say, ''Right, you'll be detained for 30 minutes.'' However, a situation may occur in which detention is the logical conclusion. A CSO will consider that that happens when a situation gets out of hand and is particularly stressful, but not if it is low key. CSOs will try to detain if the situation is potentially dangerous. I repeat that I believe that that will put them in a difficult situation that is unfair and exposes them unnecessarily.
Amendment No. 42 relates to the power of CSOs to issue fixed penalty notices. One issue relates to section 5 of the Criminal Law Act 1967, which is about wasting police time. That is extraordinary, and I hope that I have read the provision correctly—the Minister
Column Number: 245will tell me if I am wrong. Does the provision apply to wasting a CSO's time? Does the definition of ''police'' include other people?
A range of issues have been exhausted during discussion of previous amendments but, clearly, the power that the Government wish to give to CSOs—
Column Number: 246
It being twenty-five minutes past Eleven o'clock, The Chairman adjourned the Committee without Question put, pursuant to the Standing Order.
Adjourned till this day at half-past Two o'clock.

How to Transfer an Adobe Software License Between Two People
We've previously covered here how to transfer Adobe software products (like Creative Cloud, CS6, Photoshop, Lightroom, Elements, or Acrobat) between two computers, including from PC to Mac or vice versa. In this article we're going to focus on transferring the actual legal license from one person or company to another, like transferring the title to a car or home between two people.
Moving the software physically is mostly a technical task, but doesn't cover what happens if the recipient has problems, needs customer support or updates, wants to be registered with Adobe, and be recognized as the new rightful owner and user of the tools. To address those needs, you can follow the transfer process described below to "unregister" the program from the old owner and re-register for the new one.
What's the Difference Between Adobe CC for Teams vs. Individuals?
What are the differences between the types of Creative Cloud membership? This is a question we get a lot, so here's a handy comparison guide on the major differences between Creative Cloud for Teams vs. CC for Individuals. In another article we already covered the all the differences between Creative Cloud Student & Teacher vs. regular editions.
Creative Cloud for Teams is Adobe's volume licensing solution for businesses, studios, design shops, agencies, companies, offices, schools, and other organizations. It includes everything that CC for Individuals does, but gives you substantially more features and capabilities for managing and working with different users. It's meant for groups (such as small to midsize businesses and departments) with multiple seats using the products at the same time. For large businesses, Adobe recommends Creative Cloud for Enterprise.
A fast way to get a sense of the biggest differences is to check out Adobe's CC Plans-at-a-Glance comparison page for business – click to open for more details:
Save 29-33% on Adobe Creative Cloud for Teams with Special Offer
[UPDATE – See all of Adobe's current deals & discounts!]
We have a special Creative Cloud promotion from Adobe for you. For a limited time, you can save US$20/month (almost 30%) on Creative Cloud for Teams for your first year. That comes out to under US$50 a month for the entire CC collection of tools and services, including thousands of new features and performance improvements, as well as ongoing product updates! This promotion is available in many countries worldwide with similar discounts… See below for offer details and links.
New Adobe Creative Cloud for Teams Is Here – Volume Licenses Out
True to our forecast, today Adobe released Creative Cloud for Teams – a new offering for groups and organizations who want to easily manage volume purchases of Creative Cloud licenses for multiple seats or users.
The new Team product provides everything that Creative Cloud for Individuals does, which means open access to the world's best creative tools – plus workgroup capabilities for enhanced file sharing and collaboration (with 100GB of online space for each user), flexible license management (for adding, removing, or reassigning users as needed), usage tracking and reporting, centralized billing, and included Adobe Expert Services (with one-on-one direct access for each person on your team).
Adobe: Creative Cloud for Teams (Volume Licensing) Coming Soon
[UPDATE (December 11th) – As predicted, Creative Cloud for Teams is here now today!]
During a recent conference call with analysts, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayan revealed some of the company's future plans surrounding new offerings for the Creative Cloud:
Response to the Creative Cloud has exceeded our expectations, and we expect adoption to accelerate as we deliver constant innovation exclusively to members. Our success thus far has been with individual users. Over the next few months, we will introduce new offerings for teams and enterprises which significantly expand the market opportunity for Creative Cloud.
In November, we will launch Creative Cloud for teams, which will enhance collaboration and simplify the setup, management and administration for creative workgroups.
Next year, we will also deliver an enterprise version of Creative Cloud targeted for companies who wish to deploy and provision Creative Cloud across large organizations with a scale similar to the enterprise license agreements we have for Creative Suite today.
Creative Cloud for teams and enterprises will be made available through our channel partners as well as directly from Adobe.
How to Run Multiple User or Computer Licenses for Adobe CS6
One of the most popular articles on our site is How Many Systems Can I Run Adobe CS6 On? That covers Adobe's single user rules for their standard off-the-shelf retail software purchased for home or home office use. But how about for the rest of the world – for groups, teams, businesses, studios, companies, schools, and other organizations? What if you need an open license to run Creative Suite 6 (or other products) concurrently with multi-users on a number of computers on your network?
Fortunately Adobe has an answer for this that makes sense – that's easy and saves time with reduced maintenance via simple license management across your site… Why shuffle and keep track of individual serial numbers between different machines? Why worry about whether your software needs to run on a PC or a Mac?
How to Install or Run Adobe CS6 on Both Windows PC and Mac OS
With Adobe Creative Suite, if you're just looking to set up and run CS6 on either a Windows PC or a Mac OS system, the instructions for that are easy. And in fact, as we discussed earlier, it's relatively straightforward to install and activate the software on up to two machines of the same operating system type – in other words, either two Mac computers, or two Windows PC's.
But in most cases, with the platform selection for Creative Suite and Acrobat products, it's "either-or." Either Apple or Microsoft. Either Mac or Windows. That's the story for the retail and education versions of the software. And, if you want to change or swap platforms entirely, and move your tools from one o/s to the other, you can do that with an Adobe CS "crossgrade."
However, there is another possibility if you want or need to have the applications available on both operating systems (Windows plus Mac OS) at the same time – and that is to get an Adobe volume license. Despite the name, anybody can buy them (not just businesses and even for just one copy), though they do offer discounts for larger purchases… and there are some additional advantages too. They're easy to get – no signature contracts are necessary and you can pay online with a credit card, and download right away.
Adobe CS6 Volume and Site Licensing Now Available for Multi-User
Creative Suite 6 was released today – and is now available through Adobe's Business Store, which was formerly called the Volume Licensing Store…
But this online store is not just for businesses or big volume – it's for anyone who would like to run more than one copy of the CS6 software at one time, or has multiple concurrent users. The standard licensing for Adobe's off-the-shelf retail products permits only a single user running on up to two installed computers – which is usually not enough for most members of a company, group, office, team, school, or enterprise. And it's occasionally not enough for some homes!
[UPDATE (February 2013) – Adobe is no longer offering the older option described here, so now customers who would like to buy multiple copies of creative software for their groups or teams are using this solution instead.]
Regardless, the benefits of going with an Adobe CS6 volume license even for a simple or small purchase are numerous and clear:
How to Get or Buy Older Adobe Software Versions like CS4 or CS5
[UPDATE (June 2014) – See this comment below for an important update on this article.]
[UPDATE (Jan. 2017) – Adobe just stopped selling CS6 entirely – here's why.]
Adobe's Creative Suite 5.5 has been out since May, and has generally been well-reviewed and even lauded as a must-have release… Nevertheless, some folks are still looking for or require older versions of the software, like CS5.0 or CS4. Why?
Two common reasons are the higher system requirements – 64-bit for some components of CS5 like After Effects & Premiere Pro, as well as cases where the rest of a customer's site is still running an older version and would like to add a new setup with the same compatibility. And occasionally some folks say they prefer the earlier, simpler versions over newer ones with more features.
The challenge is, once a new release comes out, Adobe no longer officially sells the older version (with one exception). So if you need a prior release, what do you do?
If you want the trial version to use for 30 days, that's easy – Adobe actually keeps most older original trials still available for download on their servers – including all of CS4 and CS5, plus earlier releases of Acrobat, Lightroom, Elements, etc… You can find those trials all linked for download here:
But how about when you want to actually buy CS4 or CS5?
If you ask Adobe, they'll usually tell you to check their official list of authorized resellers & retailers to see if someone still has the version you want in stock. The problem is it's inconvenient to search as often those stocks are thin or sold out, and no longer available.
New Adobe Volume License Store is Online
[UPDATE (5/7/2012) – CS6 is now available in the Business (Volume) Store!]
Adobe has just launched a new Volume Licensing Store in the UK and Europe, to go along with the one it opened online last year for North American customers. These sites can save you money, time, and provide benefits not found elsewhere – and make it easy for organizations of all sizes large or small to gain the advantages of volume ordering.
If you use multiple copies at your location (or may in the future), volume licensing is a good idea to consider – in addition to getting a discount on your software, you also simplify maintenance and upgrades enormously, as there is only one license key to deal with for all your systems… Administration becomes a snap and almost all Adobe products are eligible – and discounts can begin with as little as one copy.
It's simple because it's all online, and there are no membership requirements or signature "contracts" to sign. Plus you can conveniently charge your order instantly to a major credit card or PayPal, and download your software right away. Then once you're registered it's easy to add users via the flexible online management tool.
Further there is an option called Upgrade Plan where you are assured of automatic access to all Adobe upgrades for your covered products during the life of your plan – at your convenience and all at a single cost per licensed product.
If you like, there's a new tool to get an Instant Quote for the products you're interested in. And right now there's also an offer going on where you can get 5 copies for the price of 4 – check it out at the Adobe Specials page.

COLUMBIA, S.C. - A total of four people in the Gray Court area of Laurens County have been referred to their health
care providers for rabies consultation in association with a case involving a stray kitten that tested positive for
the disease, the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control reported today.
"Rabies is a threat to humans, pets and wild animals," said Sandra Craig of DHEC's Bureau of Environmental Health Services (BEHS). "All pet owners should have their dogs, cats and ferrets vaccinated regularly as required by state law. It is extremely important to the health of your pet, your family and you that pet vaccinations are kept up-to-date.
"Unvaccinated pets that are exposed to the rabies virus must be quarantined or euthanized," Craig said. "Rabies is fatal once the virus reaches the brain, yet the heartache of losing a pet to this disease can be avoided. DHEC-sponsored rabies clinics are offered across the state by local veterinarians each spring, and low-cost vaccines are available every day at local veterinary clinics.
"Talk to your veterinarian to determine when you should vaccinate a young puppy or kitten, as well as when to schedule a booster. While puppies and kittens are still very young and not fully immunized, they should be monitored whenever they are outside in order to reduce possible exposure to diseases, such as rabies.
"About 275 South Carolinians must undergo preventive treatment for rabies every year, with most exposures coming from bites or scratches by a rabid or suspected rabid animal," she said. "Wild animals are most often found to be rabid, but domestic pets can contract rabies as well.
"If you think you have been exposed to the rabies virus through a bite, scratch or the saliva of a possibly infected animal, immediately wash the affected area with plenty of soap and water," Craig said. "Then be sure to get medical attention and report the incident to DHEC."
There were 124 confirmed cases of animal rabies during 2013 in South Carolina. There have been 92 confirmed cases in animals statewide this year. This animal is the sixth to test positive in 2014 from Laurens County, with positive lab confirmation on August 26. There were six animals that tested positive in that county in 2013.
For more information about rabies, see DHEC's webpage at http://www.scdhec.gov/rabies, or contact your local DHEC BEHS office at http://www.scdhec.gov/HomeAndEnvironment/DHECLocations/. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's rabies webpages can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/rabies.
