Step 5: Claim your incentive
Once your system has been purchased, installed, and put into operation, you will submit your Incentive Claim Form and supporting documentation, including a verification of project cost and a calculation of the expected system output. The program administrator will verify that your system has been connected to the grid before sending your CSI incentive payment.
When will I receive my payment?
If your system is smaller than 50 kilowatts (kW) and you opt to take the EPBB payment, you will receive one up-front payment after your application has been approved and you have shown proof of payment to your program administrator. The majority of program applicants receive their incentive payment within 60 days of submitting their incentive claim form.
If your system is larger than 50 kW, or you opt to take the PBI payment, you will receive your payment in monthly installments stretching out over five years. This payment will be based directly upon the amount of power your system produces every month.
Remember to claim your federal tax credit!
In addition to cash back incentives from the state of California, homeowners and businesses that purchase and install solar photovoltaic systems are also eligible for federal tax rebates (use IRS form 5695). Current federal law allows homeowners and businesses to claim tax credits for the installation of a solar PV system. To take advantage of these valuable incentives, make sure to keep copies of all documentation related to the purchase and installation of your system.
You can find information regarding the tax credits by visiting the sites noted below.
Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit
Business Energy Investment Tax Credit
Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits
Will I be paid for the excess electricity I generate?
Because your solar energy system will produce more power than you need at some times and less than you need at others, solar system owners need a way to store the power they generate so they can use it at night and other times when they need more juice than their system is making. California's Net Energy Metering law allows owners of solar panels to use the electricity grid as a battery to store power from their panels when they are not using it and then reclaim that power later when they need it.
Under the Net Energy Metering law (Public Utilities Code 2827), the total amount of energy produced over one year is credited against the total amount of energy consumed. If your solar system produced exactly as much power in a year as you consume, your bill for that year will be zero, even if there are times when you are consuming more than you produce. Your utility may still charge you a minimum service connection fee, sometimes on the order of $5, regardless of your net metering bill credits.
If you produce more power over a one-year period than you consume, however, you will not be paid for the excess power, nor will your credits for the power you generate be carried over into the next year. For this reason, it is important to make sure your system is sized properly so that it offsets the power you consume but does not produce a net surplus of power in the long run. The law was designed this way to discourage people from using state subsidies to enter the business of generating and selling power.
What about Renewable Energy Credits?
As the owner of renewable generation, you are the owner of Renewable Energy Credits, or RECs, associated with the production of your renewable energy. In short, a REC represents the environmental value of the energy produced by your renewable energy system. The California Energy Commission maintains an accounting system that records and issues certificates of proof that one unit of electricity was generated and delivered by a renewable energy resource.
When you own a solar PV system, you own the RECs for the electricity you generate, and you have the right to decide to keep or sell them. Receipt of CSI incentives does not require you to transfer or sell your RECs. RECs may or may not have monetary value in the future in California, depending on policy and market factors. Be sure to read all of the terms of your installation contract to see if it requires you to sell or transfer your RECs as a condition of installation. As the owner of your RECs, you do not need to agree to any contract language that requires you to sell or transfer your RECs.
For more information on the potential value of RECs, you may visit Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory or Solar Energy Industries Association.

Freshman Laura Ricciardone threw seven innings of relief in game two Saturday (Harvard Athletic Communications).
Two innings were the deciding factor in both games Saturday, as Cornell struck for a big third frame in game one to win, 8-1, and Harvard rallied late in game two for a 7-5 victory, as the two first-place Ivy League teams split a doubleheader at Soldiers Field.
The opener saw Harvard's (20-12, 6-2 Ivy League) staff ace Rachel Brown mow down 12 Big Red batters to bring her season strikeout total above the 200 mark at 201. Brown ran into trouble, though, in the top of the third when she walked Cornell's No. 9 hitter Morgan Cawley on an illegal pitch to start the inning. Marissa Amiraian would follow with an RBI triple and Jenny Edwards would drive in Amiraian with a single to make the score 2-0 Cornell (16-14-1, 5-3 Ivy League).
Brown finally got an out on a bunt pop-up to third, but after allowing a one-out single to Kristen Towne, Brown would give up the early final blow, as Erin Belles drove a three-run homerun over the left-field fence to give the Big Red a 5-0 lead. Meanwhile, Cornell's Elizabeth Dalrymple out-dueled Brown by throwing a complete game, one-run two-hitter, striking out ten and walking three for her 10th win of the season. Cornell added runs in the sixth and the seventh, while Mari Zumbro's RBI double accounted for Harvard's lone run in the 8-1 final score.
Cornell jumped on the Crimson early in game two, hitting the first three pitches of the game for a triple, double and single, respectively, and a 1-0 lead. Freshman Laura Ricciardone came in to relieve Brown, who started the game, and would go the rest of the way. After giving up the first-inning single, Ricciardone retired 14 batters in a row with six strikeouts, allowing her team to take a 2-1 lead with an RBI double by Jane Alexander in the second and a go-ahead RBI double in the third from Whitney Shaw.
Ricciardone ran into trouble in the fifth after getting the first two outs, extending her streak to 14 straight set down. Two infield singles set the table for a Jenny Edwards two-RBI double that pushed Cornell back ahead, 3-2. They would tack on one more with an RBI single through the right side from Erin Keene to lead 4-2 and complete the three-run, two-out rally.
The Crimson would begin its own decisive two-out rally, however, in the sixth inning. Missing her all weekend, Harvard finally found life in the bottom of the frame when Ellen Macadam rediscovered her bat. Through the first three games of the weekend against Princeton and Cornell, Macadam had gone a combined 0-for-10, despite entering the weekend with a .441 batting average and a .721 slugging percentage.
Things got started with a walk to Allison Scott after Harvard's first two batters failed to hit the ball out of the infield. Freshman Shelbi Olson followed with her first collegiate career homerun to tie the game at 4-4. Alexander would single and Jackie Cooley continued things with a single of her own to set the table for Macadam. Already 2-for-3 in the game, Macadam smacked her team-leading seventh homerun of the season over the right-center field wall to give Harvard a decisive, 7-4 lead. In all, the Crimson would strike for five runs on six hits in the inning, all after two outs had been recorded.
Harvard has a busy schedule next week, as it plays eight games in six days. Tuesday the Crimson will host Holy Cross in a non-conference doubleheader, then head to Chestnut Hill for a non-conference doubleheader against local rival Boston College. The team returns to Ivy League play Saturday and Sunday with a four-game set against Brown in Providence.

Call to Action! Dogs Need Your Donations in Everett
Officers raid puppy mill, 'astounded' by filth
One of the rescued dogs peers from his new cage at the Everett animal shelter.

GOLD BAR, Wash. - Officers rescued 155 dogs and several other animals found living under ghastly conditions in a puppy mill operation so horrific that it shocked even veteran animal control officers, officials said. A citizen's tip led officials to the residence, in the 43000 block of May Creek Rd in Gold Bar.
Photo shows exterior of the residence where the puppy mill operation was found.After obtaining a search warrant, deputies and officers raided the property, where they found many of the dogs stuffed inside small crates and pens overflowing with urine and feces, investigators said. Several dead puppies also were found in a freezer, and two dead dogs were found elsewhere on the premises. Eighty-seven of the dogs were living in a converted attic.
Adult dogs and puppies were found living in crates and small pens filled with large accumulations of feces and heavily soiled shavings, said Vicki Lubrin of Snohomish County Animal Control Services.
Officers said the odor from the feces and urine was so overpowering it could be detected well outside the residence. A large commercial dumpster stood in the yard overflowing with dog waste.
Medications and used syringes, used to treat sick animals, were found scattered in front of pens and in a refrigerator.
Most of the dogs were heavily matted, covered with their own feces and saturated with urine. Investigators said many dogs had open sores on various parts of their bodies and all were covered with fleas. Several dogs had tumors and other abnormal body conditions.
Officers found a variety of small breed dogs: Yorkshire terriers, rat terriers, West Highland terriers, Chinese crested, pugs, dachshunds, Pekingese and mixed breeds sold as "designer dogs."
Also found were six large dogs - a Labrador and Doberman tightly squeezed together in one crate, a Rottweiler, a mastiff and two boxers.
Altogether, officials found 155 dogs, four cats and three parrots - all living in inhumane conditions.
"Even the most experienced officers on site were astounded by the size of this puppy mill operation and the filthy conditions in which the dogs were kept," Lubrin said in a statement.
She said a detailed breeding plan was found posted on a wall inside the residence.
Lubrin said puppy mill puppies are often sold to unsuspecting buyers with hereditary defects, chronic illnesses and disease. The females are bred over and over again, producing litter after litter of puppies until they either die or can no longer breed and are disposed of.
The facility was operating in violation of Snohomish County commercial kennel regulations, Lubrin said.
All of the animals were removed for care and feeding and a veterinary medical assessment. The dogs, cats and birds are being cared for at the Everett Animal Shelter.
The final disposition of the animals is not known at this time, Lubrin said. The investigation continues and will be referred to the Snohomish County Prosecutor's Office for review. No arrests have been made at this time.
The rescue operation was a joint effort by Snohomish County Animal Control Services and Snohomish County sheriff's deputies on Friday night.
Lubrin said the cost of seizing and treating the animals rescued from these conditions severely impacts the budgets of all responding agencies.
She said anyone wishing to donate dog food or money for medical expenses to the Everett Animal Shelter's nonprofit agency, ARF (Animal Rescue Foundation), may do so by calling 425-257-6000 or coming to the shelter in person at 2732 36th St., Everett.
Please do what you can to help.

Say it how you will: I have MS, MS doesn't have me, or, MS is what I have, not who I am, etc.
The point of such phrases is to remind ourselves that in the pie of our life, there are other pieces besides our disease. Some days, the MS piece is a larger portion of the pie than we would like. But still, it is only one piece.
I find that the way I incorporate MS into my life and what I surround it with make the rest of my life okay. I think of these kinds of things as "quality-of-life issues."
A few years ago, a friend started a small MS Walk team in my honor. In three years, it has grown into the first nationwide friends and family team in National MS Society history. But my friends didn't think that was enough. We are now in the process of becoming our own non-profit organization to deal specifically with quality-of-life issues for people living with MS. I, obviously, think that this is an important part of a healthy life with MS.
Rusty mentioned a few weeks back that we should talk about the things that make us happy; the things that help us forget about MS for a little while. Rusty, I think that was a great idea, and I'm making space for it today.
What kinds of things do you do to help you cope with your MS? I know we all have good days and not-so-good days. I also know that what I do today for relaxation is different than what I used to do pre-MS.
Several newcomers have started posting in the past weeks, and I think that we owe it to them (as well as to ourselves) to explore ideas together to see if we can't find new ways to make sure that our slice of MS doesn't ruin the rest of our pie.
My bio states outside interests as: Food and wine, of course, as well as gardening, fishing, travel and exquisite cocktail conversation.
What do you do to keep the wolves at bay?
I'm looking for lots of great ideas from this group because, quite frankly, I don't see any of you as your MS. I simply see you as a bunch of great people with a desire to live your life to the fullest; no matter what the pie throws in our faces.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Harlem's Little Blackbird
About the Book
Harlem's Little Blackbird
Zora and Langston. Billie and Bessie. Eubie and Duke. If the Harlem Renaissance had a court, they were its kings and queens. But there were other, lesser known individuals whose contributions were just as impactful, such as Florence Mills. Born to parents who were former-slaves Florence knew early on that she loved to sing. And that people really responded to her sweet, bird-like voice. Her dancing and singing catapulted her all the way to the stages of 1920s Broadway where she inspired songs and even entire plays! Yet with all this success, she knew firsthand how bigotry shaped her world. And when she was offered the role of a lifetime from Ziegfeld himself, she chose to support all-black musicals instead.
Fans of WHEN MARIAN SANG and ELLA FITZGERALD: THE TALE OF A VOCAL VIRTUOSA will jump at the chance to discover another talented performer whose voice transcended and transformed the circumstances society placed on her.

Iowa Senate approves property tax plan
The Iowa Senate has approved a plan to reduce commercial property taxes, but the outlook for the bill is unclear because the House favors an alternate proposal from Gov. Terry Branstad.
The Democratic-controlled Senate voted 29-21 in favor of the plan Monday. The legislation would gradually provide commercial and industrial property owners with a tax credit equivalent to a roughly 40 percent tax cut on their first $324,000 in assessed property value.
Democrats say the plan would benefit Iowa small businesses.
The bill will now move to the Republican-majority House where lawmakers have given committee-level approval to a plan from Branstad that gradually reduces taxable assessments for commercial property owners by 20 percent.
A spokesman for Branstad says he remains hopeful they can find a compromise.

SANTA CRUZ, CA -- UC Santa Cruz honored Spencer Wells Saturday afternoon at Kaiser Permanente Arena. Wells is the lone senior for the 2013-2014 Slugs. Their final home opponent was NCAA Division III foe University of La Verne. The Slugs won the game 46-44.
The first half did not start out well as the Slugs shook off the rust from the two week layoff. The Slugs fell behind 10-0 with 14:55 left in the first half on an Evan Roberts three pointer. The Leopards' largest lead of the game came 3:49 in clock time later as Niall Harrison made a layup to make the score 14-1. The Slugs would widdle away the Leopards' lead with a 10-0 run of their own, which was capped by a Jared Ponce layup with 7:18 left in the half, making the score 14-11. The Slugs would take the lead, at 18-16, with 3:27 left in the half on a James Townsend three pointer. The Leopards would add an Eric Becker free with 1:58 left to make the score 18-17. Neither team would score in the remainder of the half and the halftime score was 18-17.
In the second half, the Slugs extended their lead to three, at 20-17, on a Ilan Zur layup with 17:49 left in the game. The Leopards would claw their way back into the game, tying the game at 20-20 with 17:34 left on a Ronn See three point play and took the lead thirty seconds later on a Weston Newell free throw to make the score 22-21 with 17:04 left. The Slugs would come as close as one point, but the Leopards held the Slugs at bay. The Leopards earned their biggest lead of the second half at 38-30 on a Cruz Mertens three pointer, with 6:24 left, to make the score 38-30. From the 6:24 mark on, the Slugs would go on a game-ending 16-6 run. The Slugs tied the game with 3:07 left, at 40-40, on a Jared Ponce three pointer. With 1:49 left in the game, Wells, the lone senior and honoree of the day, gave the Slugs the lead for good with a layup to make the score 42-40. Down the stretch, the Slugs used four free throws, two from Wells and two from Matthew Ponce for the 46-44 victory.
Townsend had a game high fourteen points for the Banana Slugs. Harrison had eleven points for the Leopards. Wells had ten points for UC Santa Cruz. See had ten points for the Leopards in the loss. Matthew Ponce had nine points and Jared Ponce had eight points in the win for the Slugs.
The Banana Slugs shot 27.5% (14-51) from the field, 14.3% (2-14) from the three point line and was 64% (16-25) from the free throw line. The Leopards shot 32.1% (17-53) from the field, 14.3% (3-21) from the three point line and 46.7% (7-15) from the foul line. UC Santa Cruz's defense forced twenty four Leopard turnovers scoring nineteen points off the turnovers while the Leopards' defense forced sixteen turnovers by UC Santa Cruz scoring eight points off the turnovers. University of La Verne outrebounded UC Santa Cruz 42-38 32-31 but UC Santa Cruz had seven more steals (15-8) than did University of La Verne.
The Slugs have very little time to savor the victory as their next contest is on Sunday evening. The Slugs will take on Occidental College in Eagle Rock at 7 pm.

Almost three decades later, Harrison Ford is considering returning to the Star Wars franchise.
Entertainment Weekly cited a "highly placed source" connected to the recently announced Star Wars Episode VII as the bearer of great news. "Harrison is open to the idea of doing the movie and he's upbeat about it, all three of them are," the source said, referring to Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher.
Disney buys LucasFilm, slates Star Wars Episode VII for 2015Ford's supposed "upbeat" attitude comes as a surprise to many fans, since the actor has shunned all but one Stars Wars event and cast reunion in the past 29 years.Since last playing the space smuggler Han Solo in 1983, Ford has gone on to become a Hollywood legend, starring in Blade Runner, The Fugitive and another beloved film franchise, Indiana Jones.The 70-year-old actor is not expected to proceed with any contract negotiations until the film as a script and a director. Star Wars: Episode VII is set to hit theaters in 2015.Would you like to see Ford return?

On a clean dust free surface and using a lint free cloth apply the wax generously, firstly in a circular motion then finish off following the grain, removing any excess.
Avoid placing your reclaimed wood furniture too close to a heat source or in constant direct sunlight.
To avoid marking the surface, do not place hot objects such as pans and cups directly on the surface.
Avoid ring marks by using coasters and mats where needed. Should you spill any liquids onto the surface please remove immediately.
Where the Oak furniture is oiled finished, then a fresh court of Danish oil every 6 months will make sure your furniture looks great.
Garden Furniture Care Tips
To clean your Rattan garden furniture , a pressure washer or jet wash on a wide spray can be used at a distance of approx 1m from the product. Do not aim this directly at the joints of the furniture. Alternatively it can simply be wiped down by hand.Cushions should be stored away when not in use to prolong the life of the product. If dirtied these can be hand washed with soapy water.
Cleaning our outdoor fabric range is a breeze thanks to the special fabrics and maintenance free aluminium frames. For minor spills simply use warm water and a sponge to clean the surface of the furniture. For more stubborn stains, or stains that have been left to dry, consider using a mild soap or fabric cleaner in a bucket of warm water. We recommend using a soft bristle brush to work the dirt loose.

San Pasqual's JaJuan Thomas made a number of big catches in the Eagles' win over Mission Hills.
Sebastian Tengan never saw "the biggest pass completion of my life."
"I was flat on my back with two defenders on top of me," the San Pasqual High quarterback said of a 17-yard hookup with JaJuan Thomas on a third-and-10 in the second overtime of Friday's 13-10 win by the No. 2-ranked Eagles over No. 1 Mission Hills.
The Avocado East League game drew an overflow crowd at Mission Hills as fans filled every seat, stood ringing the field, and were packed three deep outside the stadium, standing along a fence that borders the parking lot.
"I heard the crowd roar and I knew something good happened," Tengan said of the pass to Thomas.
What had happened was a sensational, one-handed reception between two defenders by Thomas.
It was a catch that moved the ball from the Mission Hills 25 to the 8 and helped cut a 42-yard field attempt to a game-winning 22-yarder by Cameron Miller.
"Best catch of the season," said the 6-foot-1, 175-pound Thomas. "Honestly, the Mission Hills guys couldn't have guarded me any better.
"This win is such a big step for us. I want to soak it all in."
Thomas also had a 45-yard reception on San Pasqual's touchdown drive and had a 28-yard catch on the Eagles' first drive in OT that resulted in a field goal.
Thomas finished with seven catches for 122 yards while Tengan completed 17 of 24 for 214 yards.
A swarming Mission Hills defense held San Pasqual to 56 yards on 39 rushing attempts.
Mission Hills rushed 45 times for 112 yards while quarterback Connor Wynn completed 12 of 18 for 112 yards.
Mission Hills linebackers Fred Warner and Ricky Liuchan both finished with double-digit tackles, as did San Pasqual middle linebacker Kyle Hendrickson.
"San Pasqual has never played in a game pitting No. 1 vs. No. 2," Eagles coach Tony Corley said. "And we've never played an overtime game.
"There were times I looked around, saw the huge crowd and thought about what a great game those people were seeing."

Nix Maasdorp and the Crimson play their first road game of October (photo courtesy David Silverman).
Live Stats | Ivy League Field Hockey
Game On
Following nearly two weeks of non-league competition, the Harvard field hockey team looks to even its Ivy League record as it resumes Ancient Eight play Saturday at Cornell. The Crimson and Big Red get underway at 2 p.m. at Marsha Dodson Field in Ithaca, N.Y.
Follow From Home
Live statistics for Saturday's game can be found here.
Last Time Out
Harvard (4-6, 1-2 Ivy League) earned 10 penalty corners but could not rally past crosstown rival Boston University in a 3-1 Terriers win Friday evening at Jordan Field. Carly Dickson scored Harvard's goal on a second-half penalty corner, assisted by Georgia McGillivray and Kristin Bannon. Cynthia Tassopoulos, the reigning Ivy League Rookie of the Week, made 12 saves, while Pilar Curtis and Kim Goh each recorded defensive save.
Crimson Capsule
Carly Dickson's score Wednesday gave her four goals and 10 points on the season and made her Harvard's third double-digit scorer this season, joining Chloe Keating (eight goals, five assists) and Allie Kimmel (four goals, two assists). Keating began the week ranked third in the Ivy League with 2.1 points and 0.8 goals per game. Pilar Mayora shared the league lead with three defensive saves.
History Lesson
Harvard had won seven of the previous eight meetings with Cornell before the Big Red prevailed, 1-0, last year at Jordan.
Scouting the Big Red
Cornell (8-2, 2-1) got off to the best start in school history at 7-0, including overtime Ivy wins against Penn and Columbia, before falling to Yale, 1-0, Oct. 3. The Big Red's last game was a 3-0 loss Saturday at No. 3 Virginia. Catie De Stio is Cornell's top leader with seven goals, five assists and 19 points, and the Big Red has also gotten four goals from Kelley Kantarian. Melanie Jue has seen the bulk of action in the Cornell goal, with a 1.29 goals-against average and .837 save percentage.
Around the League
In other weekend league action, Dartmouth and Yale, the two teams tied with Cornell at 2-1, face off Saturday in New Haven, Conn. Elsewhere, Princeton visits Dartmouth. On Sunday, Penn travels to Columbia, with each team trying to even its Ivy record at 2-2, and Yale hosts non-league foe Fairfield.
Coming Attractions
Harvard, coming off a four-game homestand, returns home Oct. 24 to face Princeton. The Crimson plays three of its final five games of the regular season at home.

A Closer Look at Selected Domestic "Terrorist Attacks" From The Past Decade
Over the past 21 months, I have come into contact with many people that fail to even consider the possibility that U.S. intelligence agents could have been involved in the underwear bomber plot. It is with these people in mind that I decided to write the following article. I have noticed that recent terrorist attacks within the United States have many similar characteristics. If you look at these plots together as a series of attacks, the modus operandi of U.S. intelligence agencies begins to develop. For this article, I have decided to look at only "terrorist attacks" from January 1, 2002, to the present.
1. Mohamed Mohamud (The Portland Christmas Tree Bomber)
Date Of Incident: November 26, 2010.
The 2010 Portland car bomb plot involved an incident in which Mohamud, a Somali-American student, was arrested in an FBI sting operation, after attempting to set off what he thought was a car bomb at a Christmas tree lighting in Portland, Oregon.
Mohamud had been monitored by the FBI for months. Prior to Mohamud's arrest, an undercover FBI agent, posing as a terrorist, had been in contact with him since June 2010 (A 5 month period). In preparation for the planned bombing of a public gathering, Mohamud and undercover FBI operatives drove to a remote area of Lincoln County, Oregon, where they conducted a test run on November 4, 2010 by detonating a real bomb Mohamud believed to have been hidden inside a backpack. The fake bomb was in a white van that carried six 55-gallon drums with what appeared to be real detonation cords and plastic caps. Mohamud tried to detonate the bomb by dialing a cell phone that was attached to it. When the device failed to explode, the undercover agent suggested he get out of the car to obtain better reception. When he did so, arresting agents moved in. According to the FBI, the device it provided to Mohamud had no explosive components (even the detonating caps were inert) and the public was never in any danger.
2. Sami Samir Hassoun (Wrigley Field Bomber)
Date of Incident: September 19, 2010
Hassoun placed a backpack authorities say he thought contained a bomb near Chicago's Wrigley Field. The fake but ominous looking device (a paint can fitted with blasting caps and a timer)was given to him by an FBI undercover agent. According to Hassoun's attorney, Hassoun didn't bring anything of his own making to the incident. All materials were given to him by an under cover FBI agent. Hassoun also had no apparent affiliation with extremists. The complaint alleges he raised the specter of terrorist groups only by suggesting it would be helpful to blame them for any attacks he staged. At least two FBI undercover agents got in touch with Hassoun, posing as co-plotters and eventually helped to deliver the bogus bomb.
3. Bronx Terrorism Plot
Date of Incident: May 20, 2009
On May 20, 2009, US law enforcement arrested four black Muslim men in connection with a plot to shoot down military airplanes flying out of an Air National Guard base in Newburgh, New York and blow up two synagogues in the Riverdale community of the Bronx. The events leading up to the attempted attack began in June 2008. Shahed Hussain, an Albany hotel owner and FBI informant, showed up at the Masjid al-Ikhlas mosque under the name "Maqsood", talking of jihad and violence. Hussain, a Pakistani immigrant, agreed to serve as an FBI informant after being arrested in 2002 over a scam involving driver's licenses. Four men expressed interest to Hussain. They planned to both bomb the Riverdale Temple and nearby Riverdale Jewish Center in the Bronx, and, using Stinger surface-to-air guided missiles, shoot down military planes flying out of a nearby air base. On May 6, 2009, the men traveled to Stamford, Connecticut, to pick up what they believed to be a surface-to-air guided-missile system and three improvised explosive devices, all of which were incapable of actually being used. The men placed fake bombs wired to cell phones in three separate cars outside the Riverdale Temple and nearby Riverdale Jewish Center, both in the Riverdale community of Bronx. The FBI informer also served as the driver of the suspects' vehicle. Both the car bombs and the missiles were actually fakes given to the plotters with the help of an informant for the FBI. Each of the two homemade bombs was equipped with about 37 pounds of inert material designed to look like C-4 plastic explosive, and "there was no danger to anyone," according to the FBI. The men were returning to their vehicle and heading to attack aircraft at the Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, New York, with the fake Stinger missiles when law enforcement stopped them.
4. Antonio Martinez
Date of Incident: December 8, 2010
Martinez was arrested in an FBI sting after agents said he tried to detonate a phony bomb outside a Maryland military recruitment center. The FBI began investigating Martinez in early October 2010 after an informant pointed out postings on Martinez's Facebook page. Martinez's attorney said the lack of a recording of the informant's initial three conversations with Martinez is a sign the government was trying to obscure its role in developing the plot. It was in those conversations that Martinez first mentioned attacking the recruiting center, according to a criminal complaint. Also according to his attorney, the government "induced him to be involved in an act which was clearly the design of the government and provided Martinez with the fake bomb".
5. Rezwan Ferdaus
Date of Incident: September 28, 2011
Federal prosecutors allege in court documents that Rezwan Ferdaus outlined an elaborate plan to undercover FBI agents posing as al-Qaeda operatives that involved the use of three drone aircraft carrying deadly payloads to attack and destroy federal government landmarks. Ferdaus was arrested after allegedly accepting delivery of materials, including three grenades, six Ak-47 assault rifles and a quantity of what he believed to be powerful C-4 explosives. U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz said all of the weaponry was in the control of undercover agents who were closely monitoring the plot's developments. She said the public was never in danger.
However, some legal organizations and Muslim groups have questioned whether Ferdaus, whose activities were carried out with two undercover FBI agents posing as terrorists, would have been able to carry out such a sophisticated plot if left to his own devices. In numerous previous cases in the US, the FBI has been accused of over-zealousness in its investigations and of entrapping people into terror plots who might otherwise not have carried out an attack. On April 19, 2011, undercover agents met with Ferdaus and questioned the "feasibility" of his plan. That raises the prospect that the FBI agents were somehow goading Ferdaus into more action.
At the same meeting the undercover agents also gave financial assistance for Ferdaus to travel to Washington on a scouting trip: a fact that raises the question of whether he would have made the trip without that financial help. The undercover agents also supplied thousands of dollars in cash for Ferdaus to buy the F-86 Sabre miniature plane to be used in an attack.
Analysis Of These 5 Attacks:
When looking at these plots, the most obvious connection between them (Other than the Muslim male connection) is that the FBI provided each of these "terrorists" with fake weapons, including fake explosives, to carry out the plots. Also, each of the terrorists attempted to carry out the plots with the aid of undercover FBI agents. It is unclear to what extent the FBI agents came up with the initial idea. However, it certainly is questionable whether any of these attacks would have occurred without the aid of the undercover FBI agents. Before meeting up with the undercover FBI agents, most of these men had little to no criminal record and were guilty of no more than random terroristic thoughts. It is also very apparent that the undercover FBI agents allowed the "terrorists" to conclude a significant portion of the plots including attempting to detonate fake bombs. While researching these and other "terrorist" attacks, I could not help but notice the lack of "terrorist" attacks from 2002-2008. I can't help but question whether the increase in these attacks is related to the term of office of President Obama, which began in January 2009. As I chose to not make this article poilitical, I won't delve into such aspect any further. During this same time period, on December 25, 2009, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab,the "Underwear Bomber" attempted to detonate an explosive in his underwear as he sat 8 rows in front of me.
Analysis of the Underwear Bomber Incident:
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab(Umar)allegedly received his bomb from Al Qaeda in Yemen and due to U.S. Intelligence Agencies "failing to connect the dots", was able to board flight 253 with a bomb. The U.S. Intelligence Agencies "failed to connect" the dots despite the fact that they had been warned by Umar's own father several months earlier that Umar was a threat. Further, we are told that it was this "failing to connect the dots" that led to Umar boarding, despite the Congressional testimony of Patrick Kennedy (see his testimony here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN_33ojupTc).
This testimony from Kennedy, the Under Secretary of State, indicated that a yet to be disclosed intelligence agency was tracking Umar, and wanted to track him into the U.S. to catch "bigger fish". Now how would such agency do that if it didn't allow Umar to board a plane heading to the U.S.? What's also troubling is that nearly all of the mainstream U.S. media failed to even report on this Congressional testimony. The one newspaper that did, the Detroit News, has now erased the story from its archives. Of course, I witnessed Umar near the boarding gate of flight 253. He was escorted by a sharp dressed man, that spoke perfect American English without an accent and told the gate agent that Umar didn't have a passport, that he needed to board the plane, that he was from "Sudan, and we do this all the time". My next question is who is the "we" that he was referring to. Obviously, I have to ask what sort of U.S. authority figure in Amsterdam could say that "we" let refugees on planes all of the time without passports and apparently, has the authority to make it happen. It seems that an undercover FBI agent would fit the bill. Although Schiphol Airport has the most security cameras in the world, the airport audio and video remain unreleased under a court protective order. In December 2010, Umar's stand-by attorney, Anthony Chambers reported to the Detroit Free Press that "The Government's own experts have indicated that the bomb was impossibly defective as it lacked a blasting cap". That story has now been erased from the Free Press archives. Although pieces of the bomb laid all over the airline cabin near row 19, law enforcement officers made no effort to remove passengers from such area and passengers trampled through pieces of the bomb as they exited the plane. The NPR interview of Jay Howard, the man who sat next to Umar, is very telling (see below)(http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123821351. In this interview, Howard relates that the FBI told him not to talk about what happened and took all of his clothes that were covered with pieces of the bomb. Although the FBI had samples of the bomb all over the airline, it seized all of his clothes to "test the bomb materials". I have to wonder if the FBI actually seized Mr. Howard's clothes in order to not let others test the bomb materials. In his NPR interview, Mr. Howard makes the following curious comment "I don't want to call him a terrorist because he hasn't been treated as a terrorist and it wasn't a national threat". Really Mr. Howard? Why wasn't it a National threat? Is this why the FBI told you not to talk about this too much? Note that I am not saying that Jay Howard was involved in this lot, but only that he knows more than he is letting on. Remember, after we exited the plane, we were taken to a baggage claim area where we stood with our carry on bags for an hour, not knowing if other bombs were located in the carry on bags. Law enforcement was not concerned, however. At this time, Umar had already exited the plane and told officers that "there is another bomb on board". Another man was taken into custody during this time, after a bomb sniffing dog found explosives in his carry on bag. The U.S. Government changed its story on who this man was 5 times before finally deciding to ignore the existence of the man entirely. It's most likely that this man was an FBI undercover agent that provided Umar with his "bomb" and the bomb resideue in his bag alerted the dog. In late 2010, Umar was charged with conspiring with "persons known and unknown" yet none of these persons have ever been named. Their involvement with the plot has never been explained. Shouldn't such persons be on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List? Shouldn't the FBI solicit the public to help identify such individuals, who should be some of the most wanted men in the world? Not if they are FBI agents. There are very few differences between the Underwear Bomber incident and the 5 incidents I listed above. One difference being that this attack occurred on a plane which caused a fire that did indeed threaten lives. The other plots seemingly didn't risk injury to others. We must remember that the U.S. needs legitimate "terrorist attacks" to keep making money for those that benefit from the fraudulent war on terror. Also, a legitimate airline attack was needed to usher in the body scanning machines. Without a failed bomb in a terrorist's clothes, the American public would never stand for the body scanning machines. Lastly, the flight proceeded over Detroit before the "bomb" was lit, on Christmas Day, in order to make the biggest splash in the media. The U.S. Government's modus operandi of setting up these attacks with fake bombs and without risking injury to others was seemingly achieved. This led to Janet Napolitano's explicit comment that "the system worked" when referring to this attack. Janet knows what happened here, and so do I. Hopefully, I have convinced other that read this post that the U.S. Government, via its intelligence agencies, gave Umar a fake bomb and escorted him through security in order to assure a fake "terrorist attack". This "terrorist" attack occurred in order to continue padding the wallets of those that benefit from the war on terror and its repulsive body scanners. Would this plot have happened without the aid of the unnamed U.S. Intelligence Agency that allowed Umar to board, provided Umar with his fake bomb and God knows whatever else? Not a chance. I sit here writing this article a mere 30 minutes from Dearborn, Michigan, which has the largest segment of Muslims in the U.S. I realize that if the U.S. were truly in danger of terrorist attacks from Muslims, this area should be in jeopardy of suicide and car bombings that frequently occur in the middle east. These attacks do not occur here. I know why, and I ask that you also ask yourself why. Those that are hopeful that the upcoming trial will reveal anything of this sort should think again. Umar is representing himself and thereby refusing to let standy-by attorney Chambers use the entrapment defense (that he told me he would) if he was allowed to. This action by Umar is inexplicable, unless of course he is involved in the plot, has been threatened or promised a lenient sentence. I don't know which, but there seemingly is no other explanation. Obviously, there is more to this story than the FBI is telling us.

You could also list the two printer bombs they supposedly "found" being shipped that somehow they had the exact tracking numbers for.
This whole thing has become a bad joke.

Another domestic "terrorist attack" incident occurred in Dallas 9/24/2009 when a 19 year old kid tried to blow up a 60 story building with a fake bomb.
...and related story about other terror schemes.
(Most people have forgotten about this Dallas incident. It is interesting to note that the government needed a more threatening, almost real, domestic terrorist event in order to usher in the body scanners and renew the soon-to-expire Patriot Act. ...and thus we have Flight 253. The Christmas 2009 Underwear Bomber Event created a huge "scary" impact on the American people. )
Thanks for being real Americans and refusing allow fear or the prospect of derision to deter you from confronting dishonesty and lies & profiteering! I challenge the lap-dog Detroit Free Press to prove it isn't one by reposting the articles referred to. (What do you have to hide, and who's supper do you sing for Free Press?)
Added your story to my blog today, here http://surfingthenewnormal.wordpress.com/2011/10/04/the-underwear-bomber-attack-fundamentally-destroyed-my-faith-in-u-s-government-media/
Thanks for your courage and moral strength in an age when whistle blowers are being silenced and marginalized. Thanks for getting your story out there!
I absolutely believe that these are all false flag attacks orchestrated by the US gov't in order to further restrict our freedoms and keep us in a constant state of fear.
I'm reading "JFK and the Unspeakable" by James W. Douglass.
If the CIA could do what they did to Kennedy in 1963, imagine the horrors they can perpetrate now. I am sickened and scared by my own government.

"I absolutely believe that these are all false flag attacks orchestrated by the US gov't in order to further restrict our freedoms and keep us in a constant state of fear."
Absolutely. Every one is designed to incrementally change the way we perceive what is appropriate to "keep us safe." The "Underwear Bomber" incident is particularly evident because the social change achieved after this event is tantamount to molestation for security. This behavior would never have been tolerated without the conditioning leading up to this particular case.
I am in general agreement with your suspicions about what is really going on in the "underwear bomber" case in which you were an important witness. However, this pattern of official government entrapment is not new, it has been going on for decades - long before the Obama administration. In fact, have you read or heard of the Lackawanna Six that was in the news in 2002? This is but one among numerous other entrapment cases that occurred BEFORE 2008 and was supposedly about capturing would-be Islamic terrorists.
I am a bit older than you, and I can recall back when "International Communism" was our government's bogeyman, and the political right-wing was claiming that leftists and Communists had secretly infiltrated and infested our federal government. Their outrageous claim created a distraction and tended to block people mentally from being able to perceive that the opposite was (and still is) the case - that the government is really infiltrated by right-wing subversives acting on behalf of their ruling elite masters.
This present obsession with Islamic "terrorism" - the new bogeyman - as largely contrived by the economically and politically powerful in our society (the ruling elite) to manipulate government policy on behalf of their economic interests which are heavily invested in the military and energy resources (oil in particular).
If you recall, even before the attacks on 9/11/01, our propagandistic news services had primed everyone who heard of some violent attack against the government to assume it to have been perpetrated by Muslim terrorists. That was the initial implication and expectation in the Oklahoma City bombing that occurred during the Clinton administration. It was later revealed (supposedly) to be a right-winger plot by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. The evidence that has since emerged shows it to be much more complicated than that and that government agents may have set it up. Nichols has since claimed that Larry Potts, a notorious FBI official involved in other violent plots, set him and Tim McVeigh up and gave them the order to carry through their Oklahoma City plot.
Some informed speculation suggests that the Oklahoma City federal building bombing was a case of a potential entrapment "sting" plot by the government being altered covertly at the last minute by some subversive element in our government to be carried out for real - no fake bomb or explosive material. The forerunner of our oxymoronically entitled "Patriot Act" legislation was actually hatched at that time as a response to the Oklahoma City bombing.
What about the pakistani that tried to detonate a bomb in his SUV in times square, but the bomb was defective. There was no clear connection to the FBI in this case but it does have similarities to the other cases (failed explosive, happened after Obama in office). Also of note is that in court the defendant made those anti-America pro-Islam statements similar to Umar (which incidentally is the same type of court behavior that the '93 WTC suspect engaged in).
If you haven't had a chance look into the '93 WTC bombing and the background. The recruitment center in New York had clear connections to the CIA. All the info is available at the history commons website.
It sounds to me like our own people are staging these events as "agents provocateurs".

Oz bank takes near-field plunge
CBA also takes payments 'social'
Peer-to-peer payments, transfers via Facebook, and support for contactless near-field communications: the Commonwealth Bank has reached for the buzzword book to create a new payment system it hopes will help it ride on the back of huge growth in mobile payments systems.
It also targets the huge growth of the iPhone in Australia, since the new all-embracing mobile payments system is only going to be offered for iOS 4.3 and above.
Mobile is the growth engine of online payments, with the bank claiming a 229 percent increase comparing the month of August 2011 to August 2010, and a total of 16 million mobile logins in the month.
The CBA "Kaching" application will only be authorized to a single handset, and does not have local storage of any banking details. The bank also says that user data won't be accessible on lost or stolen phones, but is fuzzy on the details, saying only that user data is protected by "password encryption".
NFC is supported by the iCarte cover from Canadian outfit Wireless Dynamics, using MasterCard's PayPass system for payment processing. The bank says more than 40,000 MasterCard PayPass terminals have been deployed in Australia so far.
The bank says the offering has good potential in Australia, since individuals here appear more willing to use their phones for payments: "Australians are 65 percent more likely than the British to bank on their phones, and 14 percent more likely than those in America," said the bank's David Lindbergh.
Depending on the medium used, recipients will either receive their money instantly, or will be sent a code allowing them to retrieve their payment later. ®

Andrew Woodley -- Otterbein Sports Information
WESTERVILLE, OHIO -- The Otterbein Cardinals dropped another close game, falling to cross-town rival Capital 24-20, Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.
With their fifth consecutive loss, Otterbein University falls to 1-5 overall, 0-5 in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC). The Cardinals have now lost four games by less than six points this season. Meanwhile, the Crusaders improve to 3-3, 3-2 in OAC play.
Otterbein held a 20-18 advantage late in the fourth quarter. Capital reclaimed the lead on a 17-play, 80-yard drive that was capped off by a 12-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Chase Carris to senior wide receiver Matt White.
The Crusaders failed on the two-point conversion, making the score 24-20 with 1:08 left in the game.
On the ensuing possession, senior quarterback Austin Schlosser completed passes of 29 and 25 yards to senior wide receiver Trey Fairchild and sophomore wide receiver Steven Carpenter, respectively. The two completions put Otterbein on the Capital 12-yard line, but the Cardinals would only net three yards on the next three plays.
On fourth down from the Capital 9-yard line, Schlosser was intercepted by Crusader senior defensive back Kory Conley at the two-yard line to seal the victory for Capital.
Otterbein appeared to be in good shape following the first half. Aided by two rushing touchdowns from junior running back Cody Green and a receiving touchdown from senior wide receiver Steve Kuzyk, the Cardinals held a 20-12 lead at halftime.
After both teams went scoreless in the third quarter, Capital scored 12-unanswered points to claim the victory.
Otterbein was only 3 of 12 on third down conversions, while Capital's offense was able to stay on the field all afternoon, converting 14 of 20 third downs. As a result, the Crusaders ran 28 more plays on offense than the Cardinals (89 to 61).
Green, who entered the game with 256 rushing yards this season, ran for 162 yards on 31 carries with two touchdowns (all career highs).
Trey Fairchild, who entered the game as the NCAA Division III leader in all-purpose yards, finished the afternoon with 61 receiving yards on five catches. He added 32 punt return yards and 83 kickoff return yards (176 all-purpose).
Schlosser finished 13 of 23 with 162 yards and one touchdown. Kuzyk, who was on the receiving end of Schlosser's touchdown pass, had four catches for 55 yards.
Senior Chad Pepper led the Cardinal defensive effort with 10 tackles, while senior defensive end Will Brown had a game-high 3.0 tackles for loss. Brown also had Otterbein's only sack.
Junior defensive back Rocco Pentello, who has transitioned from quarterback to safety, finished with six tackles and a game-high three pass break-ups.
Junior punter Aaron Kingcade established a new career long with a 74-yard punt and maintained a 44.5 yard average on eight punts.
The Cardinals converted two of their three point after tries (PATs), while the Crusaders failed to convert any of their PATs. Senior defensive back Shea Brintlinger blocked Capital's first PAT, and the Crusaders failed three-straight two-point conversion tries.
Otterbein heads to New Concord next Saturday, Oct. 22, where they look to rebound against OAC opponent Muskingum. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.

The measure, originally announced in August last year, will feature in a law on biodiversity that could be adopted in the autumn.
Deployment in France has stalled under an onerous permitting process and uncertainty over the tariff. However, the government has been taking steps to remedy the situation following President Francois Hollande's undertaking to simplify the process.
The announcement came as the minister launched the text of the draft law on the energy transition, which will be presented to parliament in the autumn. The text largely confirms measures previously announced including a target for renewables to supply 40% of electricity in 2030.
In a presentation to the industry, Royal added that she was in discussions with the defence minister to find a solution regarding the ban on turbines near radars and in areas designated for low-altitude flight training.
She also plans to reform the appeals process for offshore wind projects. "Disputes on offshore wind power will be discussed in the first instance by a single administrative court to reduce delays," Royal said.

Multi-Asset Insights: Have central banks lost their potency in determining exchange rates?
This month's Multi-Asset Insights examines how the role of monetary policy as a significant driver of exchange rates appears to be breaking down.
Monetary policy has been a factor in driving exchange rates since the end of the Bretton Woods system (which dissolved between 1968-73). That was when central banks began to flex their powers and experiment with money supply, interest rate targeting or currency intervention to influence the development of macroeconomic variables such as domestic economic growth and inflation.
However, recent reactions - such as a stronger yen after the Bank of Japan's negative interest rate policy - have called into question the link between monetary policy and exchange rates. We also suggest that going forward, monetary policy will be less influential in driving currency returns because of increased perceptions of policy ineffectiveness in driving future economic growth and inflation.
Historical relationships between monetary policy and exchange rates
The link between interest rate differentials and currency movements has been fairly high over the past two decades, and in fact was higher in the period post the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. We show, below, the results of a regression analysis using the nominal interest rate differential (two-year sovereign vs US) as an explanatory variable for spot FX returns vs USD for several major currencies.
Table 1 - Regression of spot FX returns vs 2-year Interest Rate Differentials
Source: Schroders. Monthly data from Jan 2000 to May 2016.
The results suggest that interest rate differentials have been highly significant for explaining currency returns.
Monetary policy less effective in recent months
We believe, however, that there is more to this story. Observing the median short-term correlation between G10 short term interest rate differentials and exchange rates suggests that monetary policy is a less effective explanation of currency returns than before.
Chart 1 - Short term correlation between G10 interest rate movements and FX returns
Source: Schroders. Monthly data from Jan 2000 to May 2016. Correlation is 2 year monthly (24 periods). G10 excludes Norway and New Zealand due to data availability.
We think that as developed market central banks are near the limits of conventional monetary policy (having pushed short term rates near or past the zero lower bound), exchange rates take over as the main transmission mechanism of monetary policy, but central bank efforts to manipulate exchange rates will be ultimately unsuccessful.
There are three key reasons for this:
1) Policy rates are likely to be kept low for longer, shrinking current and expected rate differentials;
2) Using unconventional monetary policy to influence currency volatility appears to fail; and
3) The response of exchange rates towards repeated central bank stimulus efforts are becoming less favourable or even reacting in an adverse manner.
Although monetary policy has historically been a significant driver of exchange rates, this relationship appears to be breaking down.
We suggest that exchange rates could trade more on fundamentals going forward. For example, many countries that have current account surpluses have seen currency appreciation (EUR, JPY) despite their respective central banks implementing more monetary easing, while many EM currencies that were severely hurt over the last two years have seen sharp appreciation due to a bounce-back in growth prospects (i.e. things are not as bad as they seem).
This should be good news for investors who can re-focus on fundamental economic drivers, rather than speculating on the actions of global central banks.

Bovalto Ibraxion (inactivated IBR virus) - QI02AA03
Updated on site: 08-Feb-2018
|Nazwa lekarstwa:
|Bovalto Ibraxion
|inactivated IBR virus
Gatunki: Bydło
Treść artykułu
Bovalto Ibraxion
Bovine rhinotracheitis vaccine (inactivated)
This is a summary of the European public assessment report (EPAR) for Bovalto Ibraxion. It explains how the Agency assessed this veterinary medicine to recommend its authorisation in the European Union (EU) and its conditions of use. It is not intended to provide practical advice on how to use Bovalto Ibraxion.
For practical information about using Bovalto Ibraxion, animal owners or keepers should read the package leaflet or contact their veterinarian or pharmacist.
What is Bovalto Ibraxion and what is it used for?
Bovalto Ibraxion is a veterinary vaccine used to protect cattle against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus. IBR virus infections affect the airways with nasal discharge, conjunctivitis (inflammation of the eye) and coughing.
Bovalto Ibraxion contains the active substance inactivated gene deleted IBR virus.
How is Bovalto Ibraxion used?
Bovalto Ibraxion is available as an emulsion and can only be obtained with a prescription. The vaccine is given into the neck at the front of the shoulder. Two injections are given 3 weeks apart to calves from age 2 weeks provided they have not acquired antibodies against IBR virus from the mother. When there are antibodies the vaccine should be given to calves from age 3 months. A booster injection is given at 6 month intervals.
Protection starts 2 weeks after vaccination and lasts for 6 months.
For further information, see the package leaflet.
How does Bovalto Ibraxion work?
Bovalto Ibraxion is a vaccine containing a version of the IBR virus that has been made inactive so it cannot cause infection. Vaccines work by 'teaching' the immune system (the body's natural defences) how to defend itself against a disease. When Bovalto Ibraxion is given to cattle the animals' immune system recognises the inactive virus as 'foreign' and makes antibodies against it.
In the future, if the animals are exposed to the active virus the immune system will be able to respond more quickly. The virus in the vaccine has also been modified to allow vaccinated animals to be distinguished from naturally infected animals so allowing better disease management.
Bovalto Ibraxion contains the adjuvant light paraffin oil to enhance the immune response.
What benefits of Bovalto Ibraxion have been shown in studies?
Field studies were conducted in around 300 cattle of various ages in both an IBR contaminated and an IBR free environment. Cattle vaccinated with Bovalto Ibraxion had protective levels of antibodies to IBR virus at 2 weeks after vaccination and the duration of protection was shown to last 6 months.
What are the risks associated with Bovalto Ibraxion?
The injection of Bovalto Ibraxion may cause a temporary tissue reaction at the site of injection, which may last for three weeks and rarely up to five weeks. Ibraxion may cause a slight rise in body temperature (less than 1°C) for less than 48 hours after injection. This does not affect the health or performance of the animal.
What are the precautions for the person who gives the medicine or comes into contact with the animal?
Bovalto Ibraxion is an emulsion containing mineral oil. Accidental injection may cause severe pain and swelling, particularly if injected into a joint or finger
What is the withdrawal period in
The withdrawal period is the time required after administration of a medicine before an animal can be slaughtered and the meat used for human consumption. It is also the time required after administration of a medicine before milk may be used for human consumption.
The withdrawal period for meat and milk from cattle treated with Bovalto Ibraxion is 'zero' days, which means there is no mandatory waiting time.
Why is Bovalto Ibraxion approved?
The Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) concluded that Bovalto Ibraxion's benefits are greater than its risks and recommended that it be approved for use in the EU.
Other information about Bovalto Ibraxion?
The European Commission granted a marketing authorisation valid throughout the EU for Bovalto Ibraxion on 9 March 2000.
The name of the medicine was changed to Bovalto Ibraxion on 10 August 2016.
The full EPAR for Bovalto Ibraxion can be found on the Agency's website: ema.europa.eu/Find medicine/Veterinary medicines/European public assessment reports. For more information about treatment with Bovalto Ibraxion, animal owners or keepers should read the package leaflet or contact their veterinarian or pharmacist.

One day they will come to realise that stable orbits are only possible if there is attraction and repulsion present. The key failure to all n-body solutions >2 is because the forces are all in one direction. Once this is realised we can confine to the trash can all variants of dark mathematics, as theories will no longer require these absurd place holders, and science can truly advance.nick c wrote:hi celeste,
It is obvious that Newtonian mechanics has failed miserably hence the need for Dark Matter. Newtonian mechanics does not even explain our own solar system as perturbations should accumulate over millions of years to render planetary positions unpredictable.
I am not saying that there is no such force as 'gravity.' However, gravity (whatever that is) does not seem to be key to understanding the cosmos.
