Frank Powell promoted to chief operating officer and Dan Byrne tapped as vice president of business development
Frank Powell promoted to chief operating officer and Dan Byrne tapped as vice president of business development
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Mar 28, 2017) - USPack Logistics (www.gouspack.com), a NewSpring Holdings' portfolio company and a national provider of local delivery solutions for eCommerce, healthcare, parts and supplies shippers, today announced two significant changes to its executive management team.
Newly appointed Chief Operating Officer, Frank Powell, has been promoted from his previous role as director of sales and operations.
"This promotion is truly an honor and I appreciate the trust both Peter and Mark Glazman have in my abilities," said Frank Powell. "I look forward to our continued success and to a future filled with unlimited potential."
"Since Frank joined USPack in 2012, he has made as great an impact on our success as any other employee in this company," said Peter Glazman, CEO of USPack. "This promotion formalizes the role that Frank has played for some time. Frank's leadership has not only been central to USPack's growth, but by also developing an operational roadmap, and hiring the right people to execute the plan with precision. On Frank's watch, USPack's sales and operational efficiencies have ascended to unprecedented heights."
Dan Byrne joins USPack Logistics filling a newly created position, vice president of business development.
"As USPack continues to expand both organically and through acquisition, it's imperative that we have an executive on our team with the expertise to align our brand both horizontally and vertically, and to ensure communications and marketing efforts connect the new USPack brand to customers in a manner that sustains long-term relationships, said Mark Glazman, Executive Vice President of USPack.
In this capacity, Mr. Byrne will be responsible for all USPack sales and marketing programs. Prior to joining USPack, Mr. Byrne held similar roles at DHL Supply Chain and BeavEx, and has served as an independent operating advisor to investors and management of middle market transportation companies. Mr. Byrne holds an MBA from Emory University's Goizueta Business School, an MS in Telecommunications from George Washington University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, as well as an undergraduate Finance degree from Stetson University.
"Dan brings both a stellar track record of success in the final mile sector and an innovative approach perfect for connecting the USPack brand with a growing target audience," added Mark Glazman, "and an increasingly important role considering our record growth and recent acquisitions of Best Courier and JS Logistics."
"It's clear that the consumer supply chain is being re-invented at the local level," said Mr. Byrne. "But what's happening in retail is now being extended to healthcare and B2B sectors like parts delivery and industrial supplies. For some time, I've been looking for a transportation company who is ideally positioned to accelerate this transformation, and I've found it at USPack."
Mr. Byrne will also collaborate with Frank Powell and other division leaders to support the continuing development of leading edge supply-chain solutions, and creating targeted service bundles that meet the needs of today's ever-changing market.
"Frank's promotion and Dan's appointment are just two of a myriad of critical hires and internal changes that position USPack to thrive in the years ahead," added Peter Glazman. "I'm confident that we have assembled the right team to meet the tremendous opportunity being presented to us by customers."

Tinashe Sparks Debate with Race-Related Commentary
While Tinashe continues working on her long-awaited album Joyride, the singer's latest interview has become the source of controversy.
In a new feature from The Guardian, the pop songstress discussed her problems with sexism and colorism. "It's so much easier for male artists," she said. "There are hundreds of [male] rappers that all look the same, that sound the same, but if you're a black woman, you're either Beyoncé or Rihanna. It's very, very strange."
According to the "Flame" singer, Ciara suffered as a result of this very issue. "It felt like they almost had to sacrifice someone because there wasn't enough room, which isn't true," she added. "Ciara's an amazing artist, Beyoncé's an amazing artist, Rihanna's an amazing artist, and they're all very different!"
During the interview, Tinashe also pointed to "colourism" as a problem. "There's colourism involved in the black community, which is very apparent," she said. "It's about trying to find a balance where I'm a mixed woman, and sometimes I feel like I don't fully fit into the black community; they don't fully accept me, even though I see myself as a black woman. That disconnect is confusing sometimes…I am what I am."
It was the latter comment, in particular, that fueled critics online. Author Michael Arceneaux tweeted: "I really think Tinashe is talented and there is a struggle for Black girls in music, but this interview ain't it and is totally unhelpful. I don't even think most people knew Tinashe was mixed. Her name is Tinashe. Girl, we clocked in on your Blackness. The Blacks will usually lend a helping hand even if you only give us one and a half of a bop. Don't blame us even partially."
New York magazine's Craig Jenkins added: "Tinashe career feels type hexed but she is correct that dudes in the biz with very little distinguishing characteristics still get to eat…Pinning her difficulty connecting to people on black community social politics when the music isn't as sharp as it needs to be is..something."
Fans went in on this notion, as well. "What is tinashe on? A light skin mixed chick blaming colorism for the lack of success in her career," said one Twitter user. Another added: "Beyonce is light skinned. Mariah Carey is biracial. Rihanna is light skinned. J Cole & Drake are biracial. We're just not into YOU Tinashe."
This was echoed by others, including one fan who wrote: "The Black community won't elevate Tinashe to the same level as other artists b/c her creative team is trash + time and artistic evolution."
Others, however, seemed to side with the singer. "Tinashe made valid points about how she isn't seen as Black ENOUGH to some Black people," tweeted a fan. "That is very much true for some mixed ppl." Another Twitter user added support. "This will pass," she wrote. "You got this. P.S. I felt the same way in school also!"
Tinashe's years-in-the-making a;bum Joyride is due this year. However, the pop songstress said she isn't done with it just yet. "It's not like it's sitting in a vault locked up, it's always getting better and improving," she explained in The Guardian piece. "I plan on doing a solid few more months recording then hopefully getting it out this year…hopefully. It's going to be great. They're going to be the best songs!"

In troubled times, sell quality, reliability and trust.
Stick with what you know, and deliver only what customers expect and what you as a brand can realistically achieve. 'It's about having a focused voice that is prevalent throughout the company – in the advertising, the marketing, the product – an entire culture. It has to be consistent: one voice with no compromise.
>This means going back to informing the customer about product differentiation and innovation, building trust over unswerving quality and reliability, establishing non-intrusive communication between supplier and buyer and, above all, operating from a strong ethical platform, or at least, a position of realistic honesty.

Acid Gas
Both, physical solvents (Rectisol, Selexol, Benfield) and chemical solvents (amines: MEA, DGA, DEA, DIPA and MDEA) are widely used in oil refineries and natural gas processing plants for removing acid gases. Because these systems simply remove H2S the acid gas must then be routed to a sulfur recovery unit. The LO CAT® technology, with its "autocirculation" design, was first licensed to treat acid gas in 1982 The continued success of the LO CAT® technology on acid gas applications has lead to in excess of 60 acid gas treatment installations worldwide, making this the largest single user segment for the technology.

Hospira gets OK to market generic Taxotere
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Hospira has received approval from the Food and Drug Administration for a generic cancer treatment.
Hospira will offer 20-mg, 80-mg and 160-mg vials of docetaxel at a 10-mg/mL concentration. Docetaxel is a generic version of Sanofi-Aventis's Taxotere.
Hospira already markets docetaxel in Europe and Australia, the drug maker noted.
"Hospira's docetaxel will give U.S. cancer patients access to a high-quality, lower-cost alternative to the branded product, [will offer] a differentiated delivery system designed to enhance caregiver safety and [will reinforce] Hospira's commitment to meet patient and caregiver needs in the oncology space," said Thomas Moore, president, U.S. for Hospira.
U.S. sales of Taxotere were approximately $1.2 billion in 2010, Hospira said.
NCPA emphasizes Dispose My Meds program during Patient Safety Awareness Week
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — In line with Patient Safety Awareness Week, which began Sunday, the National Community Pharmacists Association is encouraging patients to properly dispose of their expired or unused medications safely and effectively.
The NCPA's Dispose My Meds program, which was developed with Sharps Compliance, gives patients an effective solution to dealing with outdated prescriptions. By logging on to the Dispose My Meds website, consumers can find participating pharmacies by city, state or zip code to dispose of unused medications, excluding controlled substances.
"Pharmacists can help patients monitor what medications are taken, how they interact with other drugs, how effective they are and what side effects they might cause as a way to ensure maximum results," said Robert Greenwood, NCPA president and pharmacy owner. "During Patient Safety Awareness Week, and anytime, we encourage patients to talk to their community pharmacists about medication safety and how to dispose of medications properly when they go unused or expire."

Interview: Irene Poggi, consultant at Changemaker
After some experiences in Italy related to project implementation in the field of social integration, citizen participation and urban regeneration, Irene has arrived in Sweden with the aim of exploring different subjects. She now has a role as "project writer addicted" at Changemaker, with the aim of finding new opportunities within cooperation projects. She holds a MA in Social Science and Public Policy with a focus on interculturality
Why did you become interested in working with Changemaker?
I was still in Italy and had already planned to move to Gothenburg when I first bumped into Changemaker on the web. I was immediately impressed by the heterogeneity of projects and services that Changemaker leads and offers. But also, I was attracted by the fil rouge such as change, education and urban development which connects all Changemaker's activities.
What is one project you are working on right now at Changemaker?
Right now, I'm trying to enhance some initiatives at international level (EU, Baltic or Nordic), already led by Changemaker, by applying for funding. I'm really focused on cooperation projects around food-oriented, sustainable urban development; that is, how to use the food universe as driving force for social change. Nowadays it's a "hot" topic, but it's also an extended field with many opportunities of experimentation: so exciting!
What is one trend happening in society right now that you are especially interested in?
I believe it's extremely interesting to examine how to (re)use urban spaces – public and private – for social change. Very often the spatial dimension seems to be secondary, or a subject only for urban planners, but it should be central, especially for those who want to create social change. Abandoned factories becoming cultural centres, streets becoming communities, food markets becoming performance venues. Urban spaces are the physical connection between creators, content and users of social change, and it's important to stress this element.

Survey nonresponse among informal caregivers: effects on the presence and magnitude of associations with caregiver burden and satisfaction.
Survey nonresponse among informal caregivers: effects on the presence and magnitude of associations with caregiver burden and satisfaction.
BMC Public Health. 2016;16(1):480
Authors: Oldenkamp M, Wittek RP, Hagedoorn M, Stolk RP, Smidt N
BACKGROUND: Informal caregiving is becoming more relevant with current trends such as population ageing. However, little is known about nonconsent and nonresponse bias in caregiving research. We investigated nonconsent and nonresponse bias in a sample of informal caregivers who participated in the LifeLines Cohort Study, and were invited for participation in an additional caregiving study.
METHODS: We compared socio-demographic characteristics, caregiver health, caregiving situation, and caregiver outcomes of nonconsent and consent caregivers, and nonresponse and response caregivers, on LifeLines data, by using Chi-square tests, Independent Sample T-tests, and Mann-Whitney tests. Furthermore, we examined the influence of nonconsent and nonresponse on the presence and magnitude of the associations between caregiver characteristics and two commonly used caregiving outcomes (caregiver burden and satisfaction). We conducted multinomial logistic regression analyses, including interaction terms with nonconsent and nonresponse.
RESULTS: Within a subcohort of 8443 caregivers, aged >18 years, 5095 caregivers (60 %) gave consent for participation in the caregiving study. Within the subgroup of 2002 caregivers who received the questionnaire, 965 (48 %) responded. Caregivers who were highly involved in caregiving (i.e. high time investment, high caregiver burden), gave more commonly consent to participate, and responded more often to the questionnaire. Nonconsent and nonresponse influenced the associations between caregiver characteristics and caregiver burden for only a few characteristics, mainly indicating the level of caregiving involvement (e.g. time investment, caregiving duration). Especially for caregiver burden, these indicators were stronger for consent and response caregivers than for nonconsent and nonresponse caregivers.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings are important for caregiving research, as they emphasized that participation might not be evenly distributed among caregivers, and that the possibility of nonconsent and nonresponse bias should be considered.

Exploring synergistic interactions and catalysts in complex interventions: longitudinal, mixed methods case studies of an optimised multi-level suicide prevention intervention in four european countries (Ospi-Europe).
BMC Public Health. 2016;16(1):268
Authors: Harris FM, Maxwell M, O'Connor R, Coyne JC, Arensman E, Coffey C, Koburger N, Gusmão R, Costa S, Székely A, Cserhati Z, McDaid D, van Audenhove C, Hegerl U
BACKGROUND: The Medical Research Council (MRC) Framework for complex interventions highlights the need to explore interactions between components of complex interventions, but this has not yet been fully explored within complex, non-pharmacological interventions. This paper draws on the process evaluation data of a suicide prevention programme implemented in four European countries to illustrate the synergistic interactions between intervention levels in a complex programme, and to present our method for exploring these.
METHODS: A realist evaluation approach informed the process evaluation, which drew on mixed methods, longitudinal case studies. Data collection consisted of 47 semi-structured interviews, 12 focus groups, one workshop, fieldnoted observations of six programme meetings and 20 questionnaires (delivered at six month intervals to each of the four intervention sites). Analysis drew on the framework approach, facilitated by the use of QSR NVivo (v10). Our qualitative approach to exploring synergistic interactions (QuaSIC) also developed a matrix of hypothesised synergies that were explored within one workshop and two waves of data collection.
RESULTS: All four implementation countries provided examples of synergistic interactions that added value beyond the sum of individual intervention levels or components in isolation. For instance, the launch ceremony of the public health campaign (a level 3 intervention) in Ireland had an impact on the community-based professional training, increasing uptake and visibility of training for journalists in particular. In turn, this led to increased media reporting of OSPI activities (monitored as part of the public health campaign) and also led to wider dissemination of editorial guidelines for responsible reporting of suicidal acts. Analysis of the total process evaluation dataset also revealed the new phenomenon of the OSPI programme acting as a catalyst for externally generated (and funded) activity that shared the goals of suicide prevention.
CONCLUSIONS: The QuaSIC approach enabled us to develop and refine our definition of synergistic interactions and add the innovative concept of catalytic effects. This represents a novel approach to the evaluation of complex interventions. By exploring synergies and catalytic interactions related to a complex intervention or programme, we reveal the added value to planned activities and how they might be maximised.

A web-based self-help intervention for partners of cancer patients based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: a protocol of a randomized controlled trial.
A web-based self-help intervention for partners of cancer patients based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: a protocol of a randomized controlled trial.
BMC Public Health. 2015;15(1):303
Authors: Köhle N, Drossaert CH, Schreurs KM, Hagedoorn M, Verdonck-de Leeuw IM, Bohlmeijer ET
BACKGROUND: There is a growing recognition that cancer not only affects the lives of the patients, but also the lives of their partners. Partners of cancer patients are highly involved in the illness trajectory by providing informal care and they often experience distress. However, supporting interventions for this group are scarce and existing interventions bear several limitations. On the basis of the need for theory- and evidence-based supportive interventions for partners of cancer patients, the web-based self-help intervention Hold on, for each other has been developed. This intervention is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The primary objective of the RCT is to investigate the (cost-) effectiveness of the intervention. Additional goals are (1) to examine if psychological flexibility, self-compassion, mastery, supportive behavior, posttraumatic growth and resilience are mediators of the intervention's effects on the partners' mental health; (2) to examine the moderating effects of the socio demographics (age, gender, education, working situation, family situation) and disease-related characteristics of the patients (sort of cancer, stage of disease, duration and treatment of cancer); and (3) to investigate to what extend participants are satisfied with the intervention, which parts of the intervention are mostly used, and how adherent the users are.
METHODS/DESIGN: A three-armed randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted to compare two versions of the intervention Hold on, for each other with a waiting list control condition. Both intervention conditions contain the same content and differ only with regard to the form of professional support (personal support versus automatic support). Adult partners of cancer patients with mild to moderate depressive and anxiety symptoms, will be recruited through a multi-component strategy. Online measurements by self-assessment will be made on four measurement points (prior to randomization (baseline-measurement) and 3, 6 and 12 months after baseline).
DISCUSSION: When proven effective, Hold on, for each other can be an invaluable contribution to the healthcare system and it could be offered to all partners of cancer patients who are in need for additional support.
TRIAL REGISTRATION: Dutch Trial Register, trial registration number NTR4035 , date of registration: 17 March 2013.

However, while walking along the path, especially on the stepped pathway called Kakuban Slope, also know as San-nen-zaka, the "Three-year Slope", be careful not to stumble and fall, because a scary local legend says that if you fall down here you will die during the next 3 years. To tackle the legend, the constructors of the path installed 43 steps, one more than the unlucky number 42 - in Japanese 42 can be pronounced as shi-ni, which can mean "death"…

It's that time of year again, last weekend was the annual camera club awards dinner and this year I was pleased to collect two trophies, one for best colour print and the other for digital projected image. Admittedly that's one less than last year but as they're both quite large there wouldn't have been room for a third on the shelf!
It's nice to win but club competitions always leave me in two minds. On one hand I'm fairly competitive so I enjoy entering and seeing what people think of my photography, on the other hand I question whether it's worth the effort. Yes it can be disappointing if a judge doesn't rate your image highly, or frustrating if a photo is misinterpreted but it's not just that, I wonder what does winning or losing actually prove?
Does winning a competition make you the best photographer? Of course not. So what is it a measure of? Not a lot really, just that someone qualified to judge photos happened to like your photo the best on that day... on another day with another judge it could (or almost certainly would) have been someone else's print that won. It doesn't even make you the best photographer on that particular day really because it's just one persons opinion.
Ok there are certain elements in a photograph that judges assess to decide how good a photo is but that's just a reflection of how good a camera club competition photo it is as obviously with something so subjective there is no best, no good or bad just different opinions. So it's best not to get too smug in victory or too deflated if you don't do so well.
So how do you take a competition winning photo? Don't even try is my advice! Taking photos for your own enjoyment is far more rewarding than taking them to try and please somebody else, (especially as you've no idea exactly what that other person might be looking for). if a judge happens to like a photo that you've created and are particularly proud of then isn't that all the more satisfying?

Let's talk about sex.....
Speaking of which be warned I am about to delve deeper into this subject!!
I have been without sex for the last 6 months (keep in mind my son is 4 months). Even before my son was born I was to the point where I simply did not have an interest in doing the deed. At my age that is weird...right? I am not sure. It's like I have hit an arctic freeze or something. Maybe it is the shift in my thinking, I mean I have one child outta wedlock. I really want to get my life back on track with God and just in general and sex does not fit into the equation. So the question is how does this work with my boyfriend? It doesn't. He wants it so bad heck my doctor and mom told me that I should give it to him because if I didn't then he would get it from someone else! Am I worried? Not a bit. Do I feel bad for withholding? Absolutely.
But I just don't know what to do! Part of me is scared where it has been so long because I think it will hurt and then part of me wants to tuck tail and run every time he even mentions it. I am open to any suggestions about what to do at this point. Because I don't know how much more of him being mad at me I can take!!

Tell him if he wants it then he better put a ring on it. Period, end of discussion. You're right, you're doing really well on getting on track with God, you don't need to back-peddle now!ReplyDelete
Honest. He won't die. It is not essential to their survival. If he cares about you, TRULY cares about, he won't pressure you.
Why buy the cow, when the milk is free? Old saying, but true.

Well as far as you wanting to do right in God's eyes you know what needs to be done. But I'm not your boss. It's all up to you. But honestly if he loves you he wouldn't even think about trying to find someone else to have sex with. I also know when you have a baby it changes your outlook on life. What use to be important is no longer important.ReplyDelete
You need to tell your boyfriend that sex will be available AFTER he marries you. Sex is much more meaningful when it is an expression of a deep commitment - not just relationship, or an engagement ring, but a lifelong, legal commitment of marriage. That is the wisest thing for both of you and the safest, most loving thing you can do for your son.ReplyDelete

Take it to the Lord in prayer and you will find your answer!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 16, 2010 at 4:59 PM
I really admire your commitment to get closer to God, and to stay away from sex until you are married. I support doing whatever it takes to "stay the course," until you are ready to be married.ReplyDelete
God designed sex to be limited to marriage, not to give us hardships, but to protect us--from the pain and consequences (as you well know) from sex outside marriage. There is nothing like the security of a loving, committed relationship to make a couple's sexual relationship grow and flourish. I speak from experience. It will be well worth it to wait. Do whatever it takes. See less of each other. Don't be alone together. Avoid tempting situations. Make the sacrifice.
You will have a much richer love life once you are married, and you will have avoided all that pain.
if he truely loves you, then he will find the strength to wait for you. if you aren't ready, you aren't ready. do what you feel is right for yourself, and don't let others scare you into doing something you would regret. it doesn't and shouldn't matter that you are a mom (and obviously not a virgin), it is your body, and you get the final say on what you do with it. on the flip side of that, i don't agree that god made sex only for marriage. when you get right down to it, sex only exists to make babies, and we have put so much emphasis and stigma to it to make it either fun or taboo. i don't think my husband and i have a better, more meaningful sex life since we got married than before.ReplyDelete
this is the first time i have read your blog, i found it thru mckmama's.

Badgett back training with 15-horse string
ELMONT, N.Y. - When Bill Badgett quit training at the end of 2004, he left the door ajar to someday returning. He has now busted that door down.
Badgett, best known as being the trainer of the Hall of Fame filly Go for Wand, has returned to training and will start his first horse, Out of Gwedda, in Saturday's Grade 2, $250,000 Woody Stephens Breeders' Cup Handicap at Belmont Park.
Badgett, who trained horses on his own for 20 years, quit to become a bloodstock adviser. The last horse he saddled was Timo, who finished sixth in the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby. He said a couple of owners he used to train for talked him into coming back.
"Although you can actually make a living doing the sales on a full-time basis, I can still do both," Badgett, 54, said. "All the people I'm training for are still involved in the buying part of it."
Out of Gwedda is owned by one of Badgett's clients, Bruno Hofmann, who runs under the name Pegasus Dream Stable. Badgett purchased Out of Gwedda for $100,000 as a 2-year-old, and the horse, then trained by Todd Pletcher, won his first two starts, including the Tremont Stakes. He has lost his last four starts, including the Derby Trial.
Badgett was hoping to run Out of Gwedda in an allowance race, but it didn't fill. Out of Gwedda, who worked a bullet five furlongs in 59.40 seconds on May 30, will be a longshot in the Woody Stephens.
Badgett said he has 15 horses, but plans to build up to 30 in the near future.
"I'm starting from the bottom and I've got to work my way back up, but I'm ready for the challenge," Badgett said. "The only good part about this, I know all the mistakes I made before; hopefully, I won't make them again."
Badgett, who worked as an assistant to Dominick Imperio, Joe Cantey, and Woody Stephens, went out on his own in 1985. Four years later he developed Go for Wand into the champion 2-year-old filly of 1989 and champion 3-year-old filly of 1990.
Migliore back for four mounts
Jockey Richard Migliore, the New York native who has resurrected his career in Southern California, will return home for two days to ride. Migliore is named on one horse Friday and three more Saturday, including Bordonaro, the favorite for the Grade 2 True North Handicap.
"I'm really looking forward to it," Migliore said Wednesday morning after arriving in Southern California following a cross-country flight from New York. "I haven't ridden in New York since the Fall Highweight last November. I miss everybody. It's going to be great to catch up with everybody in the room. My valet, John Milano, is one of my best friends and my daughter's godfather, and I haven't seen him since November. I'm excited."
Migliore, 43, left New York last fall looking for a fresh start. He finished fourth in the standings at Santa Anita and is tied for third at the current Hollywood Park meeting with 20 wins from 144 mounts.
"I think I definitely exceeded expectations," Migliore said. "For me to be fourth at Santa Anita in my first full meet there, I just think was huge. I've been so well received, people have given me a really good chance. I can't say anything but nice things about the opportunity afforded me here. Things are good at Hollywood; I can see them getting better."
At the conclusion of most racing weeks, Migliore takes the red-eye to New York to spend a couple of days with his wife, Carmella, and the couple's four children.
After riding at Hollywood on Wednesday and Thursday, Migliore will arrive back in New York on Friday morning in time to ride Out of Time in the $65,000 Babae Stakes. Out of Time is a 3-year-old French-bred filly who won a Group 3 against males last summer. This will be her U.S. debut.
On Saturday, Migliore will have three mounts, including Bordonaro, one of the best sprinters in the country. Migliore rode Bordonaro to victory in the Grade 3 Count Fleet Sprint Handicap at Oaklawn on April 13.
"I really liked him; I think he's a really good horse," Migliore said. "I think he worked exceptional for the race last Friday. [Trainer Bill Spawr] is really happy with him. Bill knows him so well - he feels he's coming into this race as well if not better than any of his other races."
Silence Dogood can end bridesmaid role
After finishing second to Panty Raid and Rutherienne in her last two starts, Silence Dogood may finally have landed in a spot to grab all the glory in Friday's $65,000 Babae Stakes.
The Babae, at seven furlongs on the Widener turf course, drew a field of 10.
Two starts back, Silence Dogood was beaten a neck by Panty Raid in an allowance on Polytrack. Panty Raid came back to win the Black-Eyed Susan. In her next start, Silence Dogood finished second to Rutherienne in the Sugar Plum Time on the turf. Rutherienne came back to dead-heat for the win in the Grade 3 Sands Point.
Silence Dogood may appreciate cutting back to seven furlongs.
Out of Time beat males in a Group 3 race in France and makes her U.S. debut in this spot. Limoncella made a successful 3-year-old debut, winning a first-level allowance here on May 18.
Tony Dutrow under suspension
Trainer Anthony Dutrow is in the midst of serving a 14-day suspension after two of his horses tested positive for an overage of phenlybutazone at Delaware Park. Dutrow was suspended seven days and fined $1,000 for each violation. The suspension began on June 2 and runs through June 16. The horses who tested positive were Lord Snowdon and Bill Place.
Dutrow's horses will be running for trainer Dove Houghton. Included in that group are Bill Place, who is running in the Woody Stephens, and Dashboard Drummer and Suave Jazz, who are both running in Saturday's True North.
"Two horses that shipped from New York to race at Delaware to race were given too much bute," Dutrow said. "This is my first suspension in over 31 years of training. I was happy to figure what exactly happened."

"I am excited to say that my audition at Humber went very, very well. I played "All the Things You Are" and afterwards he told me that it was one of the few best that he has heard this year. Thanks Tim, seriously, I would not be as confident, focused, and somewhat competent had I not taken this year and studied with you. I thank you, thank you and thank you again."
Hey Tim, I just got a letter from Humber… I got in!!!!!! I got accepted to the 4 year degree program and I couldn't have done it with out your help thanks a lot!

In 1998 the British Retail Consortium (BRC), responding to industry needs, developed and introduced the BRC Food Technical Standard to be used to evaluate manufacturers of retailers own brand food products. It is designed to assist retailers and brand owners produce food products of consistent safety and quality and assist with their 'due diligence' defence, should they be subject to a prosecution by the enforcement authorities. Under EU food Law, retailers and brand owners have a legal responsibility for their brands.
BRC Food Standard was published first, then the BRC has been published the first issue of the Packaging Standard in 2002, followed by Consumer Products Standard in August 2003 and finally the BRC Global Standard - Storage and Distribution in August 2006. In 2009, the BRC partnered with the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) to develop the Global Standard for Consumer Products North America edition. Each of these Standards is regularly reviewed revised and updated at least every 3 years after extensive consultation with a wide range of stakeholders.
Below listed requirements need to be implemented to get the certificate of BRC food safety (Issue 7) and BRC IoP (issue 5) standard for packaging companies. In each of the below listed requirements there is many sub requirements and this BRC global standard is written in plain English so easy to understand to implement by the client.

In the Beginning
Albany Helping Hands was founded as an non affiliated, independent faith-based 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization in 1998 but it's roots go back to the early 1980's with services and a seasonal shelter provided by Pastor Les Bailey and others.
For fourteen years, starting in 1984, Pastor Bailey ran a shelter from Oak Hill Community Church of God, at 103 Main Street SE in Albany, Oregon, where he was a pastor until retiring in 2014.
Pastor Les Bailey had a gift, people in crisis and need, the homeless and the hungry.
People that others would avoid would gravitate to him where personal and spiritual relationships were established.
The local non-denominational ministry has grown from sheltering a few during extreme, harsh winter weather in a small church on Main Street to operating a Homeless Shelter, a three meal a day kitchen, Thrift Store, U-Haul Dealership, Farm, Woodlot, Pasture Raised Chicken Farmand Seasonally five Christmas Tree lots and a spring flower stand.
The non profit organization is supported primarily by contributions of individuals, businesses, churches and nonprofit organizations.
In 1998, the shelter separated from the church and became Albany Helping Hands, an independent non-denominational, faith-based 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, an equal opportunity provider and employer.
Albany Helping Hands moved to a temporary location for several years until purchasing their own facility at 619 SE Ninth Avenue .
Many improvements and additions have been made to expand the capacity and capability of the shelter.

Proposals and Engagement Sessions Near Philadelphia
Photographing engagement sessions is a great way for me to connect with you and your fiancé before the wedding, and a great chance for you to get used to being photographed! I photograph at a location that is important to you - maybe it's the town you went to college together in, the bar where you met, the boardwalk you walked on your first date, or even one the many local parks. If you have no idea, that's okay too, I am ready to offer a handful of suggestions around your area. Feel free to bring something relevant to you guys if you have it- this could be a guitar, your dog, a bicycle, or anything that represents you as a couple! An outfit change is welcome, and I always suggest layering for different looks and to keep you comfortable if the weather isn't as planned.
Several wedding collections include an engagement session with the high-resolution files, but for those collections that do not you can add the session only for $95 and order a la carte, or get the session and all digital files for $395. After you see the images you can choose if you want to make an album or get some prints, enlargements, save the dates, or a signature album (where the guests sign in the white space around your engagement photos, in lieu of a traditional guest book).
Engagements and proposals are photographed in Center City, on the Main Line, in Chester County, Delaware County, Montgomery County, New York City, Delaware, New Jersey and the local beaches.
Your engagement images are ready for viewing on a password-protected web site within one week from your session date!

This excellent-value, small group tour offers an authentic overland adventure in a state of the art safari truck. Travel in a custom-built 4x4 overland vehicle designed to give 12 passengers extra comfort on the long roads of Africa.
Journey from the bottom of Africa, setting off from the beautiful South African city of Cape Town into the Cape Winelands and Cederberg Mountains. Drive through Namaqualand into Namibia, spending time along the Gariep River and the Fish River Canyon, before experiencing the ancient Namib Desert with its dramatic red-orange dunes and surreal salt pans. Stop in Swakopmund, sightseeing and doing optional adventure activities, then view the rugged Skeleton Coast and iconic Spitzkoppe. Encounter the Himba and head into Etosha National Park for superb game viewing in this dramatic wild setting.
Get a taste of Windhoek before crossing into Botswana, where we meet the Kalahari San. Fly from Maun into the Okavango Delta for our two night trip in this pristine and diverse wilderness area. Drive to Chobe National Park for a last unforgettable 4x4 game drive and a boat cruise along Chobe River. Finally, visit the Victoria Falls waterfall in Zimbabwe and enjoy optional adventure activities galore.
On the first morning of this Small Group Adventure Safari we set off from the city of Cape Town, known as the 'Mother City' of South Africa. Heading north we pause to admire the views of Table Mountain, Cape Town's most famous landmark. After taking some photos of the iconic Table Mountain, one of the natural wonders of the world, we continue into the Cape Winelands in our state-of-the-art adventure vehicle.
The Western Cape Wine Region is the top wine producing area in the country, known for its excellent wines and pretty scenery. We stop at one of the well-established farms to taste a few of the local wines, before driving to the Spice Route estate. Spend some time at the Spice Route winery, enjoying the charming artisanal hub with a beer garden, art gallery-shop, chocolatier and coffee bar.
Then we drive northwards to the Cederberg Region of South Africa. The Cederberg is a fertile, mountain region known for its citrus farms and indigenous rooibos tea plantations. Tonight we receive a warm welcome from our hosts and have our first dinner together at the resort in Olifants River Valley, nestled in the Cederberg Mountains.
This safari comes with an optional Activity Package at an additional cost. The itinerary includes these highly-recommended activities. Contact African Budget Safaris for a detailed breakdown of what is included in the Activity Package and see the Full Pricing Information above for the cost of the Activity Package.
Today we continue north, journeying into ever-drier and more deserted landscapes. Our drive takes us via Namaqualand, an arid and sparsely-populated region of gentle hills and plains covered with low indigenous vegetation. This open area along the West Coast of South Africa is famous for its indigenous wildflower blooms in spring (around September). If it is springtime we may catch the spectacular flower show.
Later in the day, we reach the Gariep River, which forms the border between South Africa and Namibia. Crossing into Namibia we proceed to our overnight camp on the banks of the former Orange River, now called the Gariep.
This morning you can set off along the Orange River in a canoe. Paddling along the river is a relaxing way to take in the rugged, desert scenery and spot birds. It is an easy paddle with few rapids.
After our morning at the Orange River we drive up to the Fish River Canyon in our 4x4 vehicle. We take a walk along the rim of one of the largest canyons in the world, marvelling at the grand scale of this natural wonder and taking photos. Then we go to Ais-Ais hot springs where our next overnight lodge is located. End your day off with a soothing soak in the hot springs under starry skies.
Today we cover a long distance in our luxury overland vehicle, driving deeper into the Namib Desert. Our dusty drive through the changing scenes of southern Namibia, reveals the desolate beauty of this solitary desert region.
We head to the Namib-Naukluft National Park, where the famous Sossusvlei Dunes and Deadvlei are located. Our accommodation is set in the desert, just outside of the national park.
A full day of desert adventures awaits. We hop onto a 4x4 safari vehicle and mission into the Namib-Naukluft Park.
We begin by visiting Sossusvlei and Deadvlei. Explore the surreal pans on foot, walking at the foot of the ochre dunes amid the gnarled dead trees. The contrasting colours, textures and shapes make for outstanding photographs. Then we drive to Dune 45, which you have the option of climbing. One of the tallest dunes and best-known landmarks, the views from the top are worth the climb.
After surveying the sea of red-orange dunes we leave the Namib-Naukluft Park. We stop at Sesriem Canyon to see the ancient sedimentary rock layers of the narrow gorge before continuing back to the lodge.
On day six we head into the Namib Desert on a guided walk with an expert from the area. Walking through the seemingly barren desert landscapes, we discover the rich variety of rare and unusual flora and fauna found here. After our desert walk we drive to the Atlantic Ocean coastline, crossing the Tropic of Capricorn.
We break our drive at the Walvis Bay lagoon, pausing to watch the abundant birdlife drawn to this wetland system. The lagoon is an important birding site, sometimes attracting huge flocks of flamingoes. Then we proceed north to the coastal town of Swakopmund, known as the adventure capital of Namibia. Your guide helps you to select and book optional activities for the following day in and around Swakopmund. Later we have dinner out (own account) at one of Swakopmund's excellent restaurants.
The premier seaside destination in the country, Swakopmund has plenty to offer visitors, in addition to adventure activities.
The town is infused with German culture, given its colonial past and large resident German population. Walking around the charming African town you can see examples of German architecture and visit cafes selling German-style pastries and cuisine. Historical buildings include the German Evangelical Lutheran Church, Bahnhof (Railway Station), Woermannhaus, Hohenzollern Haus, Alte Gefängnis (Old Prison) and Kaiserliches Bezirksgericht (State House). Go to the museum, the aquarium, the jetty and the lighthouse, strolling along the boardwalk next to the sea. Visit the local markets and take a township tour to meet some local people and gain insight into life in Swakopmund today.
For adrenalin seekers activities range from quad biking and sandboarding on the desert dunes, to skydiving and scenic flights by plane, helicopter or hot air balloon. Other exciting options include sea kayaking, dolphin and seal spotting boat cruises, whale watching, fishing trips and a variety of 4x4 trails along the coast and into the desert.
After breakfast we leave Swakopmund, travelling north in our comfortable safari vehicle, along the Skeleton Coast. This bleak stretch of pristine coastline is littered with old shipwrecks and animal bones, hence its name, the Skeleton Coast. Before leaving the dramatic coastline we stop in Wlotzkasbaken to take a look at the colourful lichen colonies of the area. Then we travel inland to Spitzkoppe.
The much-photographed Spitzkoppe Massif is one of the most recognisable natural features of Namibia. We visit the group of granite inselbergs (or monadnocks), the highest of which rise some 700 metres above the plains of the Namib Desert. Our local guide tells us more about the ancient granite boulders and the San (Bushmen) rock art found here.
From Spitzkoppe we drive on to our next lodge, just outside of Outjo in the Kunene Region of Namibia.
Today we travel further north to Opuwo in Kaokoveld. Home to the only semi-nomadic tribe left in Namibia, the Ovahimba, this remote region is largely undeveloped and sparsely populated.
We visit one of the Himba projects in the Opuwo area to find out more about these indigenous people of Namibia. Few traditional communities still live in the wilderness as nomadic pastoralists, with numbers falling as the Himba are increasingly displaced by modern development and changed by western influences. We visit an educational village established to portray more traditional Himba lifestyles, providing insight into tribal customs and practises, without further impacting on the more isolated communities.
Income generated by this cultural program is used to educate Himba orphans, teaching them about their unique heritage and history. You can support the local women selling goods at the market we visit, or simply interact with the locals and browse. After an interesting and often controversial cultural experience, we proceed to our hilltop lodge near Opuwo.
Up early, we head to our first wildlife destination - Etosha National Park!
Etosha is Namibia's leading game park and one of Africa's finest. We spend the next two days exploring this rugged wild region, hosting an amazing array and abundance of large mammals, birds and other creatures.
On our game drives, we explore the open plains scattered with acacia woodlands, visiting waterholes and the dusty fringes of the Etosha Pan. The salt pan was once a massive inland lake, but today the flat expanse stands almost entirely dry, except for the shallow waters that sometimes collect during rainy seasons. When shallow pools form in the pans large flocks of birds can be seen and when short grasses sprout after the rains grazers make an appearance.
At the watering holes, wildlife watching is often particularly rewarding, given the congregation of herbivores and predators drawn to the precious water sources. Etosha is known for its dramatic wildlife sightings, not only because of the stark landscapes but also due to the intense competition that unfolds in its harsh environment, especially at the waterholes. With some luck, we are likely to encounter lions, rhinos and leopards. Chances of sighting elephants, zebras, giraffes, gemsbok, springbok and other antelopes are excellent, even all together at a watering hole.
Our evenings are spent relaxing at the comfortable lodge near Etosha National Park, reliving the wildlife adventures of the day.
On day 12 we are up early again, for one last game drive in Etosha National Park. Last chance to spot the wild animals of Etosha and absorb the wide, flat landscapes. Leaving Etosha we drive south to Okahandja where we stop in at the woodcarvers' market to browse the pretty handcrafted souvenirs and artworks.
This afternoon we arrive in Windhoek, the capital and largest city in Namibia. We take a walk around the bustling, yet orderly, city surrounded by mountains. Windhoek is located in the middle of Namibia and serves as the economic, cultural and political centre of the country. Our short tour gives you a feel for the German-influenced capital, taking in some of the highlights and historic buildings.
Tonight we eat out, usually at Joe's Beer House, a funky restaurant famous for its tasty venison dishes.
Time to journey into our next African country - Botswana!
We drive east through rural Namibia, into the semi-arid Kalahari Desert. Travel through the secluded semi-desert landscapes of the Kalahari, admiring the low red dunes and inhospitable plains covered with hardy shrubs and tufts of dry grasses.
Tonight's accommodation is situated near Ghanzi, in the middle of the Kalahari Desert region of western Botswana. Here we experience Kalahari San culture, being treated to traditional dance, song and story-telling by the local people.
Later tonight we prepare for our trip into the unspoilt Okavango Delta. Your guide advises you on what to pack for the Delta trip and what to expect in this wild ecosystem. Travellers not taking the Okavango Delta trip stay in Maun for those two nights and have time to explore the safari town, take optional mokoro day trips and scenic flights over the delta.
After breakfast, we leave the semi-arid Kalahari Desert, driving northeast to Maun in our luxury overland vehicle. Arriving in Maun, the closest town to the Okavango Delta, we head straight to the airport and board a small fixed-wing plane for our flight into the watery delta. The flight into the Okavango Delta offers sweeping views of the labyrinth of waterways, floodplains, islands and lagoons where wildlife can be spotted.
We spend the next two nights at our remote tented camp in the heart of the Okavango Delta, exploring the unique delta habitat on foot and by mokoro.
This unusual ecosystem undergoes seasonal fluctuations with floodwaters causing water levels to rise after the annual rains and subside again in the dry season. This is one of the largest inland deltas on the planet, with a multitude of waterways spreading out across the semi-arid Kalahari basin. Regardless of the season and changing water levels the delta remains a truly wild and tranquil natural wonder year-round.
Fall asleep in permanent safari tents that offer spacious and comfortable, en-suite accommodation immersed in the untamed bush.
Please note: you need to bring a small daypack or overnight bag for the trip into the delta, due to space restrictions on the transfer flights.
A full day for exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Okavango Delta. One of the wildest places in Africa, the diverse delta hosts an abundance of unique and rare wildlife, birds and plants. We venture into the Okavango Delta on foot and by mokoro. Mekoros are traditional-style canoes, poled through the waters by local guides. You can sit back and relax in your mokoro as your guide stands in the back and moves your vessel along gently with a long pole.
During your mokoro cruise, you typically stop at a secluded island for a guided nature walk, encountering a rich variety of flora and fauna up close. On the bush walk, your guide tells you more about the plants, birds and creatures of the delta, showing you the small miracles and fascinating details of the delta. On our adventures, we are likely to come across numerous small creatures - insects, reptiles, birds and mammals, and perhaps even large animals. Large mammals include lions, leopards, buffalos, elephants, hippopotami, giraffes and more; all of which may be encountered on our explorations. Other mammalian inhabitants include numerous antelopes, such as the rare lechwe, tsessebe and sitatunga, as well as otters, civets, servals, genets and honey-badgers. The Okavango Delta is also home to crocodiles, geckos, tortoises, chameleons and a variety of other reptiles, along with an incredible diversity of plants and insects. The delta is a birding paradise with more than 450 bird species recorded here, amongst them several rare and endangered species.
End your day off around the flickering campfire, listening to the nighttime sounds of the bush and its wild inhabitants.
On the morning of day 16, we return to the delta airstrip and fly out of the Okavango Delta. Our return flight gives you a chance to marvel at the size and magnificence of the untamed habitat that you just visited and scan for wildlife from above. Back in Maun you have free time to rest and relax at the hotel where we stay in en-suite rooms.
This morning we board our overlanding vehicle and head east to the Makgadigadi Pans. On our way to the salt pans, we see giant old baobab trees dotting the rural landscapes. Further along we may spot wildlife, as our route cuts through the Nxai Pan and Makgadigadi Pan national parks. We also catch a few glimpses of the vast salt pans stretching out dramatically under wide skies.
On day 18 we are up early, travelling on to Chobe. Our next lodge sits on the banks of the Chobe River, just outside of Kasane.
In the afternoon we embark on a 4x4 game drive in Chobe National Park, Botswana's most renowned game reserve. Chobe is best known for its huge elephant populations, and is believed to host the highest concentration of elephants in Africa. Chobe Park game drives often provide sightings of lions, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, sable antelopes, kudus, impalas, wildebeest, warthogs and sometimes even leopards.
Chobe River forms the northern boundary of this 11700km² wilderness area, supporting high concentrations of animals and birds. Later this afternoon we set off on a sunset boat cruise along the scenic river, soaking up the beautiful scenery and sighting all kinds of birds, mammals and reptiles. Crocodiles, hippos, elephants and various antelopes are commonly spotted along the river, as well as baboons, lizards and birds galore. Keep an eye out for sacred ibis, cormorants, Pel's fishing owls, carmine bee-eaters, kingfishers, rollers, storks and many other birds, listening for the cry of the African fish eagle.
Tonight we relax around the campfire at our laid-back lodge beside the peaceful Chobe River.
Today we cross into the final African country on our adventure tour - Zimbabwe! Our last stop: the world-famous Victoria Falls.
Reaching Victoria Falls town, we visit the natural wonder of Victoria Falls waterfall to admire the world's largest sheet of falling water up close. This is Mosi-oa-Tunya, which translates as 'The Smoke that Thunders'. Standing before Vic Falls the mists rising off the waterfall rain down on you and the pounding of the Zambezi River plummeting 108 metres down fills your ears. Visiting Victoria Falls is an inspiring and unforgettable highlight of our travels!
After marvelling at Victoria Falls you are free to unwind at the lodge, explore the town or jump into an adventure activity. Your guide can help you to select and book activities at Vic Falls, with a plethora of options available. Top favourite activities at Vic Falls include; white water rafting, bungee jumping, helicopter, small plane or microlight flights and gorge swinging.
On our last night we have the option of eating out at a local restaurant (own expense) to celebrate our memorable African journey together.
Our small group overland safari comes to a close this morning after breakfast at the lodge in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.
Spend the day participating in adventure activities and exploring the old colonial town on your own. There are so many exciting activities on offer here that we recommend spending an extra night at Vic Falls after your tour.
Please note: This itinerary includes the Activity Package highlights. Should you wish to participate in all of the activities listed, then you will need to purchase the Activity Package.
This Cape to Victoria Falls Small Group Adventure Safari is conducted in a new custom-built 4x4 vehicle.
