Mycotoxins influence feed quality and animal safety.
Corn silage samples from across the entirety of the U.S. in 2017 have shown extremely high levels of mycotoxins, particularly deoxynivalenol (DON), type A trichothecenes (T-2), fusaric acid and fumonisin.
Mycotoxins are a regular concern for producers, as they influence feed quality and animal safety. They are produced by certain species of molds and can have toxic properties that impact animal health and performance.
"Understanding the risk of mycotoxins and combinations of mycotoxins, even at lower levels, allows livestock owners and managers to institute a management program for more optimum performance and health," said Dr. Max Hawkins, nutritionist with the Alltech Mycotoxin Management team. "Testing feed stuffs and finished feeds is paramount to putting this management program in action."

A Bridgeport bank was robbed this morning by a man in a mask brandishing a handgun, police said.
The man, who was wearing a white mask, black pants and a black shirt, walked into the bank on the 2800 block of South Archer Avenue about 10:07 a.m. and showed a handgun, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Daniel O'Brien.
The man took cash from an employee of the bank, Washington Federal Bank for Savings, and fled in a red sedan, O'Brien said. The amount of money taken was not disclosed.

Here is a picture taken outside Fred Matthews shop in East St, believed to have been taken in the 1950's. I'm not sure, but it looks a bit like me on the left side of the picture. Fred is standing on the extreme right, also there is Olive Robinson who worked in the shop and Beryl Matthews. The smaller man with the hat, is the one who toured round the town in an open topped limo, giving out sweets to the youngsters. He then went on to stop at Freds where us kids could speak to him. I seem to think that he was a Sharps toffee rep, but not 100% on that. He came at least once a year and Fred used to advertise the date.

The Pitts Special is one of the world's best aerobatic aircraft, on the USA the Pitts Special has won more unlimited class championships than any other plane. Curtis H. Pitts started to design the Pitts Special on 1942 at Jacksonville, Florida. The first Pitts Special, powered by a Franklin 90 hp engine, flew for the first time during 1944. Over the next 25 years, the Pitts Special was available only as a homebuilt aircraft. Over this period it was continously refined to improve her aerobatic performance. By 1962, the standard engine had grown to 180 hp, and on 1966 her wings adopted a symetric profile to meke her inverted flight characteristics equal to those of normal flying.
On 1970, a factory was formed under the name Pitts Aerobatics at the city of Afton, Wyoming. The first Pitts Special S-2A was assembled at Afton during 1971. During the 70s, the Pitts was certified under the requeriments of FAR Part 23, under the aerobatic category. On 1977 Curtis Pitts sold his rights, so that actually the S-2B was really designed by Herb Anderson, chief engineer of Pitts Aerobatics (currently Aviat) during the early 80s and is currently the most popular version of this fine aircraft. The company Aviat Inc. purchased the rights of the Pitts Special on March 1991, currently named Aviat Aircraft Inc. The Pitts Special is still in production at the same factory at Afton, Wyoming.

Music by Oceansmusic meets science
the branch of science that deals with the physical and biological properties and phenomena of the sea
Interpreting the data
Oceanographer Erik van Sebille uses the Argo float data in his research.
"At the moment, we mainly use illustrations and infographics to make sense of it. But is it possible to interpret the data using our other senses as well?
Can we perhaps hear something that we cannot observe with our eyes?"
vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion
Music meets science
Does the Atlantic Ocean sound different from the Indian Ocean? Are polar ocean currents fundamentally different from those in tropical seas?
Composer Stef Veldhuis joins oceanographers Erik van Sebille and Will de Ruijter to answer these and other questions.
Converting data into music
Composer Stef Veldhuis: "Some of the compositions are elaborations on the floats'
through the water.
Others are inspired more by the temperature, or the oceans' salinity levels.
Some of the pieces are direct translations of the data, while in others I've taken a bit more liberty."

Hi, I'm Fay. My main role, as an orthodontic assistant, is to prepare your initial records, which include your photographs and x-rays during your first visit. I also take good care of you while you are wearing your aligners as well as your retainers when your braces are removed. I have enjoyed every minute of my experience here and have learned so much from my time at the practice.
On a personal note, I have two daughters, one of whom was treated at STO. In my spare time I enjoy reading, cooking, music, and the Internet.

I enjoy seeing how happy patients get once their braces are removed and how thankful and appreciative they are.
In my spare time I enjoy traveling to new places, going to beaches, hiking, and just being outdoors. One of my favourite shows is Cirque du Soleil and I hope to one day travel to Las Vegas and see all the shows. I look forward to seeing you at your next visit.
Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm an orthodontic assistant at STO. I was first introduced to the team at STO while completing a placement for school, and was lucky enough to have the opportunity to jump on board after graduating.

I love seeing the excitement in patients when they first come into the clinic, as well as the satisfaction that comes at the end of treatment when patients get to enjoy their new smile!
In my spare time I enjoy spending time outdoors, swimming, listening to new music and spending time with friends and family. I look forward to being part of your journey to your new smile!
Hi, my name is Tanya and I am a dental hygienist. I graduated from George Brown College in 2010 and joined the STO team in 2015.

It is rewarding to see not only the incredible progress their teeth have made, but also how enthusiastic they are to show off their new smile!
In my spare time, I enjoy meeting up with friends, going to the gym and my newest hobby – travelling. I look forward to being a part of your orthodontic treatment from the day the braces are placed, to the day they are removed.
Hello, my name is Jessica and I'm a dental hygienist here at STO! I began my journey as a dental hygienist since graduating from George Brown College in 2015. I've discovered a new passion for the work that I do since entering the world of orthodontics and I can't imagine sharing these amazing experiences with anyone other than the great team at STO and the wonderful patients that come in to see us! Braces are great at improving oral health and changing your physical appearance, but to me, they're also an amazing fashion accessory!! I can't wait to find out what colours you decide to put on your braces!
Outside of work, I enjoy crocheting and convincing myself that I can eventually one day teach myself how to play the guitar. Next time you're in the office, make sure to ask me about my 2 goofy bunnies, Brad and Dean!

The Tony Awards nominations were announced Tuesday morning. Among new tuners, "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" leads with 10 bids. And of the new plays on Broadway, "Act One" reaped a leading five nominations. The revivals of the musical "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and the plays "The Glass Menagerie" and "Twelfth Night" lead those genres with eight and seven nominations respectively.
Join the lively discussion about the Tony Awards
going on right now in Gold Derby's message boards
A wrinkle in the rules allowed for five nominees in three of the four production categories (both Play races and Best Musical) as they were packed with more than nine contenders. However, the vote tally from the 44 members of the nominating committee was only close enough in the Best Play race to merit five nominees. Conversely, with only four musical revivals eligible, that category did not need to have a full complement and the remounting of the 1998 production of "Cabaret" was snubbed.
Complete list of Tony Awards nominations
Following up on its dominance of the Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk nominations, "Gentleman's Guide" established itself as the frontrunner for Best Musical. This tuner version of the 1948 British film "Kind Hearts and Coronets" is a frisky musical romp set in Edwardian England about a line of heirs, family money and homicide. Broadway newcomers Robert L. Freedman and Steven Lutvak picked up nominations for their adaptation. At the center of the show are Tony champ Jefferson Mays who plays eight of the heirs and Bryce Pinkham as their nemesis.
While that show is set in England, it is American made as are the other three nominees for Best Musical: the jazz revue "After Midnight," the Disney toon come to life "Aladdin" and the Carole King jukebox tuner "Beautiful."
Tony Awards nominations snubs:
Daniel Radcliffe (again!), Denzel Washington, Michelle Williams …
Best Play is shaping up to be a showdown between two works that chronicle the lives of titans in their fields. "Act One" is an adapation of Moss Hart's beloved memoir about his early years working in the theater and showcases three-time Emmy champ Tony Shalhoub ("Monk") in a variety of roles which could net him the Best Actor (Play) prize.
Standing in his way is four-time Emmy winner Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad") who makes his Broadway debut as Lyndon Johnson in "All the Way." Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Schenkkan ("The Kentucky Cycle") explores the turbulent first year of LBJ's presidency.
The frontrunners in the race for Best Actress (Play) are a pair of past Tony winners: two-time champ Cherry Jones who broke the curse that has befallen the five previous revivals of "The Glass Menagerie" and five-timer Audra McDonald for "Lady Day at Emersons Bar and Grill," a hybrid of music and story.
Tony Awards nominations: Show by show
Neil Patrick Harris has won three Emmys for hosting the Tonys and is tipped to take to the stage this year to collect Best Actor (Musical) for his bravura performance as a gender-bending rock star in "Hedwig," which is tipped to win Best Musical Revival. However, 2003 Best Actor (Play) champ Mays ("I Am My Own Wife") could pull off an upset with his jaw-dropping eight roles in "Gentleman's Guide."
While the Best Actress (Musical) line-up includes a pair of past Tony champs — Sutton Foster ("Violet") and Idina Menzel ("If/Then"), the frontrunner is four-time also-ran Kelli O'Hara for her heartbreaking performance in "The Bridges of Madison County."
The 68th annual edition of these top theater kudos will be handed out on Sunday, June 8 at New York's Radio City Music Hall and air live on CBS. Winners will be voted on by 868 members of the Broadway community.

ChemCentre achieves collaborative milestone
Date Published: 01-May-17
The first of May is a big day in the long and proud history of ChemCentre. Following the agreement signed on 1 February 2017, ChemCentre begins a new phase of its operation today with the successful transition of the National Measurement Institute's (NMI) WA-based Analytical Services facility into ChemCentre's structure.
After months of collaborative and positive negotiations and planning between our respective federal and state agencies, the hard work of completing the move of equipment and preparing to welcome new staff was completed on Sunday 30 April. We are now ready to supply an undisrupted service to clients old and new from today – Monday, 1 May.
Moving equipment before and after, featuring new staff member Craig Wheatley.
ChemCentre CEO Peter Millington reiterated his thanks to all involved in both organisations who have worked tirelessly to ensure that today marks the expansion of both organisations' capabilities for the benefit of communities and industry, especially in Western Australia.
"Following a recent visit to NMI's laboratories in Sydney and Melbourne, ChemCentre remains confident there are considerable opportunities to develop a wider national partnership, combining our respective strengths in chemical and forensic science analysis," Mr Millington said.
"Some of the opportunities being discussed include allergen detection such as gluten and lupin research; further developing a national range of testing capabilities within the PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) group. These demonstrate knowledge sharing and growth in our respective mining services, such as nanoparticle analysis and mine pit lakes.
Importantly, we are looking forward to developing new business relationships, and building on the legacy left by NMI's Analytical Services facility in Western Australia."
An important driver of the agreement is the imperative to ensure no replication of services; rather, to use the genuine collaborative approach to combine skills and enhance knowledge in this nationally essential field of science.
ChemCentre and NMI are finalising a memorandum of understanding (MoU) which will provide a framework for this unique and positive work to continue.
For more information on the range of environmental and analytical services available at ChemCentre, email the Scientific Services Division at
or call 08 9422 9800.
