COLUMBIA, Pa. (WHTM) – "I've seen roaches, but these are huge," Kayla Singleton said as she watched the video again.
Singleton says she was a registered nurse supervisor at Susquehanna Valley Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Columbia, Lancaster County when she recorded the video in the facility's kitchen in June.
"I went in with another employee so she could show me what happens when you turn the light on in the kitchen," she said. "Sure enough, I turned the light on and they were scattering everywhere. I just couldn't believe it."
"I was gagging," she added.
She says she decided to take her concerns to her supervisors.
"A lot of people fight with 'I need my job, I need to support my family' versus 'These people need me to speak up for them, and if I do I'm going to lose the way I provide for my family'," Singleton said. "That's a tough situation to be in."
Singleton says she was fired a week later. She posted the video on Facebook shortly after.
"I felt like I had to warn the community," she said.
A History of Problems
Her concerns go beyond cockroaches, and she's not alone. After Singleton posted the video, other former employees came forward. They said they hoped things would change when Vita Healthcare Group bought the facility in June 2015, but problems continued.
Some left. Others say they were fired for speaking up.
"Our residents weren't being kept safe," said Niccole Leas, a licensed practical nurse and former employee.
"They're not even treated like they're humans," certified nursing assistant and former employee Brittany Dietz told ABC27.
"We just want to see those people in a place where they deserve to be," former employee Ana Matteo said.
ABC27 went through Susquehanna Valley's nursing home inspections since Vita Healthcare took over. In the span of a year, eight inspections showed the nursing home was out of compliance. There were 14 documented complaints against the facility in that same amount of time.
|Out-of-Compliance Inspections
|July 28, 2015
|Oct. 22, 2015
|Nov. 6, 2015
|Nov. 24, 2015
|Dec. 17, 2015
|Feb. 16, 2016
|April 20, 2016
|July 1, 2016
Violations support the stories of former employees.
Several told ABC27 there were problems with dirty wheelchairs, including allegations of maggots and complaints about the smells. An inspection from October 2015 says the Department of Health found evidence of dirty wheelchairs and discovered they were not being cleaned on a routine basis.
Several other inspections showed the facility did not "maintain a clean, safe and sanitary environment."
"There wouldn't be washcloths to wash them with because they're still back in laundry or just didn't exist," Deitz said. "Soap would be gone."
An inspection from November 2015 says the facility failed to maintain its linen rooms. One just a few weeks later says the facility failed to ensure proper infection control practices were followed.
Inspections from December 2015 and February 2016 show issues with residents developing pressure sores. A report from April 2016 says the facility failed to provide adequate supervision and monitoring.
A violation listed on an out-of-compliance inspection from July 2016 shows "failing to properly assess and notify the physician" when a resident was having chest pains. No one called 911. The resident died.
"We need help for those residents," Matteo said.
Former employees blame short-staffing to save money at the for-profit facility. Auditor General Eugene DePasquale recently called out Pennsylvania's Department of Health for taking nursing homes at their word about staffing hours instead of demanding proof.
"Staffing is an issue everywhere you go," Leas said, "but you got to draw the line somewhere at what's safe."
The Confrontation
Rather than calling ahead and giving Susquehanna Valley's managers time to clean up, ABC27 showed up and asked for the person in charge.
Below is a portion of the video transcript between reporter Amanda St. Hilaire and Susquehanna Valley administrator Ralph Gottlieb immediately after St. Hilaire showed him the cockroach video.
Gottlieb: That's not my kitchen.
St. Hilaire: That's not your kitchen?
Gottlieb: I have no sign, let me show you – I have no sign.
St. Hilaire: You don't have a sign telling employees to wash their hands?
Gottlieb: Not over there. Not in that area. That's not my paint.
St. Hilaire: OK.
Gottlieb: I have different color paint.
St. Hilaire: Can we go into your – your kitchen of the facility and take a look?
Gottlieb: No.
St. Hilaire: If that's not your kitchen, why wouldn't we be allowed –
Gottlieb: You can go in-
St. Hilaire: to go in and see it?
Gottlieb: No, because I'm just not into media. We're not interested.
St. Hilaire: If that's not really your kitchen, why can't we go in and verify that?
Gottlieb: You can go in and verify it, not with a camera.
St. Hilaire: But I can take a picture inside the kitchen?
Gottlieb: (Pause) Why would you want to take a picture?
St. Hilaire: Because we want to compare side-by-side…
Gottlieb: And I feel intimidated, I don't like this. Please shut it off.
Gottlieb agreed to continue speaking on camera if ABC27 also interviewed maintenance director Harold Horner.
Horner: We had an infestation. We didn't try to hide that or anything else, even with DOH, but we did go after it very aggressively.
St. Hilaire: So there were cockroaches?
Horner: (Nodding) There was cockroaches, and I can tell you right now there's not too many facilities you go into right now that don't have them.
Horner did not know Gottlieb had denied the cockroach video. He also didn't know about the time stamp saying the video was recorded in June.
Horner: That was video of the kitchen back in January, February, maybe.
St. Hilaire: (turning to Gottlieb) So you just looked at the video and said that wasn't your kitchen–
Gottlieb: Harold, I just looked at that video now. There is, that video does not look like it was even our kitchen to begin with.
Horner: Regardless, we know-
Gottlieb: Regardless, today as we stand here, there are no roaches, there are no bugs in the kitchen. Zero. Everything is clean.
ABC27 asked about other concerns from past inspections. Gottlieb said he just took over in May, so ABC27 focused on what happened from that point on.
St. Hilaire: Well, on July 1st, that inspection, it also said that family members were not being informed about falls, that there was a case where a resident was in bed without bed linens and there's also an allegation of verbal abuse with a staff member yelling at a resident during that inspection. so what is your response –
Gottlieb: I'm not comfortable with that (moves to block camera). I said, I'm not comfortable with the way you ask questions. I want to have a conversation about it and then video. You just started –
St. Hilaire: That's not how this works-
Gottlieb: Well, that's how it's going to work for me.
St. Hilaire: We want your official, authentic response.
Gottlieb: OK – not on camera. I'll tell you and then you can decide if you want to put it on camera or not.
ABC27 made it know that the camera was staying on. Gottlieb and Horner continued to answer questions on-camera.
Making Changes
Eventually, things calmed down.
"We try our best," Gottlieb said. "And we have been making progressive changes every single day since we started working here."
"We went through and we've got two halls already. They went through and completely remodeled everything; fresh paint, we got new nursing stations, we got new med carts," Horner said. "It's really hard to talk about what this place used to be compared to what it's going to be."
Gottlieb: If I may add to that, like all these things you mentioned with surveys and things – those are things that happened prior to mine and Harold's arrival and prior issues that occurred prior to the new ownership.
St. Hilaire: Well, the July 1st one, you were here.
Gottlieb: Correct, but they're looking at issues that happened prior to March 1st.
ABC27 discovered that's not entirely true. Inspections show several violations including the allegation of verbal abuse, failing to notify responsible parties about falls, and evidence that the facility "failed to maintain a clean and sanitary condition."
"Granted, the issues that were in the building before the ownership, it takes time to get rid of them," Gottlieb said. "And they have. Most of the issues that this building has sat in for many years are done."
ABC27 asked if employees were fired for raising concerns.
"There's no such thing as retaliation," Gottlieb said. "We would never, no one in the building would ever retaliate on anybody."
Inside the Nursing Home
After about an hour, Gottlieb and Horner agreed to let ABC27 take a phone inside the facility's kitchen to record video and audio. They said they wanted to show that they eliminated the cockroaches.
"I've never seen a kitchen this clean," Horner said. "Ever, anywhere."
No cockroaches in sight, but part of the kitchen did look like the one in the cockroach video. ABC27's crew walked over to that section and continued recording.
Gottlieb: Do me a favor, please don't get that in the video, that doesn't look–
St. Hilaire: Well, this part, we have to compare it to-
Gottlieb: Just try to get that from here to there because it doesn't look very nice.
There are clear similarities between ABC27's video of Susquehanna Valley's kitchen and Singleton's cockroach video.
Gottlieb: I will say it again – I don't know if that video was of Susquehanna Valley.
St. Hilaire: At first you said it wasn't.
Gottlieb: At first I said it wasn't, and I'll tell you I don't know. And the reason why I said it wasn't at first was I did come across as defensive – because that's the normal way people react when they're accused of doing something they shouldn't have done or a fault of theirs.
"But I do want to clarify," Gottlieb added. "Since I'm here, there haven't been any issues with roaches, thankfully."
Gottlieb says he wants to point out the positive. He showed ABC27 construction and renderings of a planned investment in a new resident lounge area, activity center, and lobby.
Gottlieb also asked ABC27 to include a statement in the story.
"My gut reaction was very defensive and I came across as very attackful towards you," Gottlieb said, "so I apologize for that."
No apology for former employees. Gottlieb says they're exaggerating because they're disgruntled.
The former employees who spoke with ABC27 say they're telling the truth.
"I was upset at the reasoning because I think I didn't deserve it," Singleton said. "I have moved on. I have another job. I am very happy with it. I'm not mad at them for firing me, I'm truly not. I'm mad that nothing's being done to help these people."
The day before the story aired on ABC27, a representative from Vita Healthcare called and reiterated the changes that are being made at the facility. He sent ABC27 seven letters he says are from family members who have had positive experiences at the nursing home.
Dates on some of the letters show they were written before Vita Healthcare bought the facility. Two are dated to show they were written in 2016, which is after the company took over.
All the letters praise the Susquehanna Valley staff.
Former employees say they agree with the praise of the staff; they say they are concerned because they feel there is not enough of that staff to operate safely.
One of the letters Vita Healthcare sent to ABC27 mentions the facility could have used additional staffing at times.
ABC27 spoke with the person who wrote that letter. He gave permission for the letter to be published, and praised the employees who helped care for his wife. He told ABC27 the letter he wrote was not meant to praise current nursing home administrator Ralph Gottlieb.

Pharmaceutical companies contribute 10 billion to presidential campaigns according to 60 minutes. Doesnt this mean that any president that accepted a portion of these funds owes these companies big time and therefore the interest of drug companies is a priority over the health and welfare of Americans?
How can we be sure drugs being pushed on us are good for us? Such as drugs to erase our memory, drugs to treat hyperactive children (ended up having long term neurological damage), drugs to help women go through the change of life (but ended up causing cancer)?
Who is pushing drugs on you? A good doctor will explain to you the benefit of taking a drug as well as potential side effects and allow you to make the decision. Also, an ethical doctor will not take money from drug companies. What does the president have to do with what drugs you take? As far as I can tell, no one is forcing your mouth open and pushing the drugs in.
In addition, there is a movement among doctors not to take any gifts or "freebies" from drugs reps- not even pens- in order to keep from being influenced.
Every drug has side effects and each is designed to alleviate certain symptoms. In a way, no drug is good for us as most dont fix the underlying problem, just mask the symptoms. Medicine is not really healing, even though thats what it should be.
But if you have a doctor you trust and you make sure to only take a medication if you feel like you can't deal with a health issue in other ways (diet, exercise, stress relief) then a medication can be beneficial. The key is to be informed about side effects (see WebMD or ask your doctor) and make an informed choice.
And yes, big pharma doesnt have our best interests in mind. It is more beneficial for them to create a drug that makes us feel better so long as we take it but doesnt fix us. So as a future practicioner, I recommend using alterative medicines and therapies wherever possible, as chiropractic, yoga, control of diet, meditation and other methods can actually heal you some of the time.
There are cases where medications are necessary though and are helpful. Antibiotics and vaccinations have saved our populace from the century ago fear of the common cold and measles, etc. Steroids and painkillers help people deal with injuries and allergic reactions. Even antidepressants can help people, though personally I think they are over-prescribed. So it comes down to personal choices; what do you think is right for you?
I do agree. We can't be sure the drugs we receive are good for us. Money is a driving force. And in this case it's a big one. Although no doctor may be 'forcing the drugs down your throat.'- The big companies will influence your doctor in terms of information or miss-information.
There should be large independent organizations that challenge the claims and methods of the pharmaceutical industry.
You must realize that we live in a society where MOST people would rather take pills than alter their lifestyles. I see HUNDREDS of patients who need to quit smoking and lose weight, but prefer, instead, to treat their high blood pressure and diabetes with medication.
Cigarettes kill 350,000 people a year, but that's their "personal choice", even though it's you and me who are paying for much of their health care. How many politicians do the tobacco companies own? (Answer: all of them)
Pharmaceutical companies don't care if you live or die. They are in business to make a profit. Same goes for your health insurance company.
Your health is YOUR responsibility. If you eat well, exercise and never smoke, your chance of needing what the drug companies are pushing will be reduced.
Just my $0.02.
we will know this when it takes a hard effort to locate and begin using such a product. Hard effort may even define reading past the snake oil cliche' label of MANY effective treatments. But let me tell you, you (we) are truly on to something that the masses will not hear out.
Wow what a good question.
You point out a lot off stuff that is true.
I do not have an answer because it is such a big industry.
It makes you sad that is is that way.
I had to say no to drugs made out of horse urine for the change of life.Had to say no to a hysterectomy for fibroid tissue.
They like to "offer" you so much help and you wonder in which interest it is.You are a smart person and will get places.No not by travelling!.
Point is, we do not truly know on both counts of your question.
Only you know on the first count, whether it is in your best interest, fortunately or unfortunately, for ultimately if cynically so, your life is literally in your own hands; and on the second count, there exist an inexorable measure and mix of one with the other. Conventional health professionals are not yet as forthcoming as they could be much less can they afford the patient the time needed, which is an otherwise critical tool.

I'm finally here. It's been a very long time but I'm finally in my own place. What a relief! I love it too. It's very different from any place I've ever lived bc I've never lived in an efficiency / studio apartment. This is about 500 square feet so it's not that terribly small. There's space to move about. I'm not cramped or anything like that, I just don't have a separate bedroom. That's not a problem for me, it's just very new. I'm going to have to downsize some more, which I've been meaning to do.
One difficult thing about unpacking is that I'm trying to do it with one foot that's still very sore and still open incision in three spots. I'm pooping out quickly. It used to take me days to unpack but this will take me quite a bit longer in my state.
I sleep well here. I do leave a light on cause I'm a scaredy cat. Oh yes. I'll be getting a cat by winter, another Maine Coon 'cause that's the only type of cat I can live with. Maine Coon's think they're dogs. Awesome cats!
Good news! I have permanent aides that will come here three times a week for four hours at a time to assist me with daily living...and unpacking. They'll be able to pick up where the temp company left off, almost seamlessly. This means I can shower three times a week instead of once a week. I get to wash the dreadlocks like I should. OMgoodness, I found my hair stuff packed away and got to spruce up the hair!
The first cup of tea was ceremonial and was my own blend. The second cup was Jasmine tea, third Earl Gray. I've yet to set up my tea collection but the porcelain dolls are on their shelf and displayed. Art supplies are next. I have the perfect spot for my tea art that'll get here sometime. 🙂 It's handmade by a special friend. Gotta love it!
Since space is a commodity, I've decided to downsize some of my clothing and bedding. I'm keeping four blankets, four sheets, four ect. This way I can change things once a week and have a full month of clean items. My towels are soooo old that they need to be replaced, so I'll do that soon. There's one thing I'm going to purchase that's just for fun. It's my housewarming gift to myself. 🙂 I'm getting an over the door jewelry box with mirror on the outside. Of course I can live without this item but it's to spoil myself a little.
There's this huge walk in closet that has its own closet. A closet with a closet. Unreal. It's a closet and dressing room with a restroom in the back. Hanging on the back of the restroom door in my little dressing room will be my spoiling gift of a hanging jewelry box with full size vanity mirror on the outside.
I ended up going to the auction to get my furniture instead of getting it off Amazon.com. I saved all kinds of money. I got a big armoire, a cabinet for the dolls, a bakers rack for the tea and a second shelf that goes in the dressing room all for two hundred dollars. This is why I can afford the jewelry box, I saved a ton at the auction.
Since I've run out of space for any more furniture other than my 55 gallon aquarium, I decided to go up high for plant placement. This is a low light apartment. My natural light is nada which is okay because I still have a lot of options for plants. I'm going to place hanging plants off the sides of the armoire and sides of the doll case. I won't have nearly the amount of plants I had before but that's okay, I'll still have my plants. I'll still have frogs, all that stuff, just in a more manageable amount for my new situation.
Unpacking may be difficult but it's also very therapeutic. I get to see all the things I still have. There's so much I thought was lost but that didn't get thrown away. Some of my cookbooks are here. Shakespeare is gone. Pottery is here. The doll houses made it. Tea is here, and so am I.

Glyburide and Metformin and Fasting Blood Sugar
Fasting blood sugar is another way to study the effects of diabetes drugs. In previous studies, people taking glyburide and metformin decreased their fasting blood sugar levels by 41.5 mg/dL on average. People taking glyburide or metformin alone did not decrease their fasting blood sugar levels as much as people taking glyburide and metformin.
When and How to Take Glyburide and MetforminSome general considerations for when and how to take glyburide and metformin include:
- Glyburide and metformin comes in tablet form. It should be taken by mouth once or twice daily with meals.
In order to prevent an upset stomach, it is best to take glyburide and metformin with food.
- Glyburide and metformin should be taken at the same time(s) each day to maintain an even level of the drug in your blood.
- For glyburide and metformin to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. Glyburide and metformin will not work if you stop taking it.
Dosing With Glyburide and MetforminThe dose of glyburide and metformin your healthcare provider recommends will vary depending on a number of factors, including:
- How well your diabetes is controlled
- Other medical conditions you may have
- Other medications you may be currently taking.
As always, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.

The BSNL Employees Union has alleged that the state-owned telecom operator has charted out a plan for selling off eight BSNL properties in prime locations of Chennai at throwaway prices. The list of identified properties released by the union includes the landmark 1.81 lakh sqft Telephone House on NSC Bose Road, besides land parcels in Kilpauk, Royapettah, Egmore and Ambattur.
In a statement, P Abhimanyu, general secretary of BSNL Employees Union, said the department of telecommunications is moving a cabinet note for the revival of the operator. One of the components envisaged in the revival package is to make BSNL a debt-free company through transfer of BSNL's bank loans to a special purpose vehicle (SPV), he added. Noting that identified land parcels of BSNL will also be transferred to the SPV for being sold off to repay loans, he said, BSNL management has already finalised a list of 63 land parcels across the country.
According to Abhimanyu, these land parcels are grossly undervalued. "In the name of monetisation of land, BSNL's lands are being transferred to the SPV at a throw-away price," he charged.
For instance, he said, eight land parcels in Chennai are being transferred by BSNL to the SPV. While the total market value of these land parcels has been determined by the BSNL management at Rs 2,753.67 crore, he said the market value of the land parcels is estimated to be Rs 3,867.89 crores. In Chennai alone, the BSNL's land parcels are being undervalued by more than Rs 1000 crore, he added.
When TOI attempted to contact BSNL's Chennai Circle for their reaction, official did not respond to the queries regarding the allegations.

I happen to own a buttonmaker, which is a dangerous prospect considering that I collect buttons (known to some as pins or badges or "those usually-circular things with pithy sayings that you can attach to your clothing or bags") and enjoy owning large quantities of them.
At NEFFA, I finally put it to good use, and created a handful of buttons for me to wear or give to others. All had to do with dancing and/or gender, most were snarky. Here is what I created:
- "Gender is for Girls" and "Gender is for Boys" --I actually thought of this line about a year ago, and am very pleased with how petulant it is, as well as the absurd factor. Most people either get confused, or giggle madly.
- "Yes, I'm in the right spot. Are you?" --I was advised that the last two words make it a bit confrontational, but then again, I'm tired of demurring politely when concerned people try to steer me back to the woman's side of the dance. None of that please!
- "Damn Dirty Mischief Maker"
- "It's called a REEL!" --okay, maybe this Scottish dancer gets just a *little* bit pretentious about the fact that everyone else calls them hays.
- "This is what a FOLLOW looks like" and "This is what a LEAD looks like" --people just get so confused, otherwise!
- "Gender =/= role"
- "Ambidancetrous" (with the words "Lead. Follow. Dance." repeated around the outside edge)
- "Why yes, I am corrupting your precious pure dance form, thanks for asking!" --Oh well, I am not always nice.
- "Since when does lead mean the same as boy?" --this is my most important and favourite of all of them. Because seriously, as genderqueer and strange as I am, I don't automatically become male every time I lead. Lead and boy are not equivalent, nor are follow and girl. Stop conflating them.
- "Lady is one of my top ten favourite genders...probably." --Came out of a conversation I was having about some other button. I was really pleased by it, and aim to wear this button to lots of genderfucky dance things.
Additionally, though I did not come up with it, bunches of people at Tech Squares have been sporting buttons with the sweet little bird from the children's book, and the line "Are you my [Corner/Opposite/Partner]?" So I have two of those in my collection, waiting to be deployed.
And the ones I haven't made yet, that I think I probably should:
- "Your discomfort does not dictate my gender presentation." --or possibly just gender. This is another one of those confrontational buttons, that I probably shouldn't actually make.
- "Fuck the old guard" and "Fuck the newbies" --Okay, these ones I definitely shouldn't make, not just because I try to minimize the amount of swearing on my person, but I admit a certain amount of malicious glee towards them as an idea.
- "Dance what's coming at you!" --Apparently there is a contra caller in Philly(?) for whom this is the motto. I like. I like very much. The idea of trusting that everyone else on the dance floor is in the right place is an idea that I support. If the person coming towards you isn't the gender you expected, cope with it, swing them anyways.
- "Ask me about my role preference" --Based on the traditional "ask me about my pronoun preference" which is a button I need to make for general use. I do my best to ask people what role they prefer on the dance floor.
- "Country Bumpkin" --this is subtle, but I have a favourite dance, and it's this one. All other dances are less exhausting, impressive, and enjoyable.
What other snarky buttons should I create, to get myself in even more trouble on the dance floor?

DRUG PRICES: HCFA Moves to Lower Medicare Reimbursements
HCFA yesterday unveiled a revamped reimbursement schedule that could help save hundreds of millions of dollars a year in overpayments for roughly 50 Medicare-covered prescription drugs, the Wall Street Journal reports. HHS will send the list of "lower, more-accurate prices" to insurers who administer Medicare this week, although they will not be officially ordered to change reimbursement rates. Medicare generally covers outpatient cancer drugs administered by doctors and other medications that patients cannot administer themselves, reimbursing providers at about 95% of the medication's average wholesale price. But state and federal investigators have charged that those prices are artificially inflated by drug companies, which then provide their products at deep discounts to doctors. For example, Pharmacia Corp. lists a generic version of the cancer drug Toposar at $157.65 for a 20-milligram dose; the actual average wholesale price is only $9.70. One of Medicare's "costliest" drugs, leucovorin calcium, a cancer treatment, is priced in industry guides at $9.98 for a 10-milligram dose, but under the new government data, Medicare will now pay only $3.85 (McGinley/Cloud, 6/2). HHS's inspector general estimates that Medicare pays between 11% and 900% more for drugs than what it costs doctors to buy them. In a letter to House Commerce Chair Tom Bliley (R-Va.), HHS Secretary Donna Shalala wrote, "We are now moving administratively to take advantage of the newly available, more-accurate data on average wholesale prices developed ... as a result of Department of Justice investigations" (Love, AP/Washington Post, 6/2).
Is the Effort Enough?
The guidelines are voluntary, but the administration said it expects carriers to start using them on Oct. 1. Shalala and HCFA Administrator Nancy-Ann DeParle also recommended that the long term solution to the problem should base reimbursement rates on physicians' actual acquisition costs, plus a handling fee -- a recommendation that has been proposed before (Wall Street Journal, 6/2). Bliley and Commerce ranking minority member Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.) complained the present policy change does "not go far enough" in stopping the industry's fraudulent pricing practices. Bliley said, "The Clinton-Gore administration's proposal ... has serious flaws and looks to be little more than political window-dressing for a program in need of serious repairs." HCFA said it may formally adopt the lower price schedule, but that effort would require engaging in a lengthy rule-making process (Goozner, Chicago Tribune, 6/2).

Howard Dean Calls Out Fox News For Its Race Baiting. Why Didn't Jesse Jackson?
Reported by Ellen - July 26, 2010 -
Yesterday (7/25/10), Howard Dean and Jesse Jackson were guests in different segments on Fox News Sunday. In each segment, race and Shirley Sherrod were discussed. Yet only Dean openly confronted Fox News over its race-baiting agenda. And memo to Chris Wallace, just because Fox News didn't cover the story until after Sherrod resigned is no excuse for not vetting the story.

Vegetable oil presses
Cold pressing oil seeds are known as the gentlest method to gain vegetable oil. Special about the Vegetable oil press of the ANTON FRIES Maschinenbau GmbH is the possibility to press the rape-seed twice without having to warm up the seeds beforehand. This technique makes it possible to obtain a gain of approx. 34-38% oil, depending on the oil content of the seed.
Vegetable Oil Press P500R
The press cake that remains when using the cold press technique is a valuable additive-free feed. The first pressing produces versatile, high-quality nutritional oil; wich can also be used as fuel for engines that run on vegetable oil.

Night Time Guardians
Wolverhampton BID in partnership with the City of Wolverhampton Council are to operate a pilot scheme employing 2 Night Time Guardians to support the evening economy and Pubwatch members as an extension of the daytime City Ambassador service the BID provides to cover the cities evening operations to provide a friendly welcome to all visitors to the city during the evening and provide a visual deterrent to assist with any anti-social behaviour. This pilot gives Wolverhampton BID an opportunity to manage evening/night-time guardians that will help to provide additional city centre information, security, control and supervision of private hire vehicles/taxis and reassurance service.
The service will be a high profile one; it will be customer facing and excellent customer service skills, knowledge of the city and its businesses, as well as security accreditation and experience in managing conflict, will be essential. The service will also sit alongside a robust multi-partner (West Midlands Police, Mander Centre CCTV, Wolverhampton Street Pastors and the successful Late Night Safe Haven provided by the City of Wolverhampton Council and Wolverhampton BID) team operating throughout the night time in the city centre.
Wolverhampton BID leads the delivery of a wide-ranging programme of activities, projects and initiatives to improve the city for businesses operating within it. One of the BIDs' main objectives includes supporting a safe and welcoming city centre and the current Ambassador role is the most fundamental role throughout the daytime in providing a contribution and coordination of a safe city through the use of the radio link the intelligence gathered from patrolling the streets and the BID's CCTV Operator and from the connections made with Police, PCSO's, staff and security teams at BID businesses which would be welcome in the Night-Time. Taxis and private hire vehicles are more prominent in the evening and night time economy and their control and supervision is required to ensure the safety of the public and to ensure they adhere to their licence conditions. It would also present an opportunity to support the Late-Night Safe Haven service and the associated first aid team (Derbyshire Light Medical) delivered by Wolverhampton BID.
Night Guardians will be friendly, welcoming and professional at all times, promoting a good image of Wolverhampton city centre, being approachable and knowledgeable of the city centre with regular updates provided by all partner agencies and licensed venues.
Shaun Keasey, Chairman of Pubwatch said: "We believe working collectively will make a huge difference and enable us to improve communications across the night time economy with all agencies sharing information and intelligence to help keep the city centre safe."
Inspector Sarah Thomas-West, Policing Inspector for City Centre and Wolverhampton BID Board Director said: "We fully support the BID in this work. We know that partnerships can be effective and this can be seen from the work that has been achieved by the BID, Pubwatch and City of Wolverhampton Council a safe and welcoming day-time economy. It is in everyone's interest that this pilot extends to support the night time economy and the latest work, led by the BID, will help us to do this."
Councillor Alan Bolshaw, Chair of Licensing Committee at City of Wolverhampton Council said: "As a council, the safety and welfare of our residents is our foremost priority. We have a responsibility to ensure our visitors feel safe and continue to relax and enjoy the wide range of city centre attractions.
"We welcome the opportunity to work with the BID and our key partners to improve security in our city as well as supporting the evening and night time economy."

Sympathy presents provide you with a means to send out a tangible expression of your love to somebody who is grieving. While there is something special about sending a note, a card, or a text, you might likewise feel the need to give a gift which is an addition to your expression and feelings. There is no reason why you should not do both. When you reach out using tangible expressions of your condolences, it sends a message to the mourning person that their grief matters.
Whilst these gifts are not ranked in any sort order, all of them plays the best purpose for which they are created. Out of them, the best and highly recommended present can be the Wind Chimes Engraved Poem I Thought Today Angel Wings Enfold a Heart and Shining Teardrop Diamonds. With every wave of wind, the sweet sound of the chime can bring the good memories in mind. Likewise the gift-giver can recalled with every wave of wind.
Also, the pet memory box is strongly recommended. If somebody loved their pet so much, they must posses the items belonging to their pet which associate with the good moments that is very close to them. And seeing those items simultaneously in a free time can give a deep feeling of relief while recalling the good memories.

More Info
Electra Glide Detach Tour-Pak Rack is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 5 out of 5 by QuikDraw from Well Made This kit is well made and easy to install. My FLHTK looks great without the Tour Pak on! I think the Ultras should come stock with this already, but it was well worth the money. It's almost like I have two bikes: A Street Glide without the Tour Pak, and an Ultra when I put it on!
Date published: 2013-10-26
Rated 5 out of 5 by ScioRider from High Quality & Stout This bit of kit is not cheap, that's for sure. But if you need it it is worth it. It is very heavy duty and easy to install. A quick pinch and twist to remove or install the Tour-Pack. You can't tell any difference with the Tour-Pack installed and when removed the mount is visually well hidden and unobtrusive. While I love my Tour-Pack for the carrying capacity and for 2-up riding, I really like how my Electra Glide Classic looks without all the top heavy stuff.
Date published: 2013-07-17
2 - Point Docking station is included, the description states. What if I want a 4 - point docking station instead?
Do you sell the tour pack adapter plate by itself, for use with a 4 - point docking station?
Hey Ricky! For the FLHTK, a 4-point docking station is not available at this time. A 4-point docking station is available for other models. Adapter plates can be purchased separately through your local dealer. Hope this helps!

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Asian markets advanced Thursday, with Chinese banks led by Industrial & Commercial Bank of China pacing the advance in Hong Kong and Shanghai a day after the lender reported strong earnings.
Regional chip-makers' shares also rose, reflecting hopes of a recovery for the sector, with Elpida Memory shares surging a day after it announced a capital-raising plan by subsidiaries.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index finished 6.6% up at 8,489.29 and the benchmark Hang Seng Index rose 3.6% to 14,108.98, ending above the 14,000-point level for the first time in two and a half months. China's Shanghai Composite jumped 3.1%.
"At current prices, the dividend yields on Chinese banking shares are about 4% to 5%. In the current interest-rate conditions, that is attracting the yield investors," said Philip Chan, head of research at CAF Securities. "Market sentiment has suddenly changed."
Shares of ICBC (1398) shot up 14.8% in Hong Kong, with the stock also benefiting from news that Goldman Sachs has agreed not to sell 80% of its investment in the Chinese lender until April 2010. However, the U.S. investment bank is free to sell a fifth of its 4.9% stake in ICBC after a lock-up period ends next month.
Other Chinese lenders also rose in Hong Kong, with Bank of China (3988) BACHY, +0.19% gaining 7.9% and China Merchants Bank (3968) CIHKF climbing 9.2%. In Shanghai, ICBC rose 5.8%, Bank of China added 3.5% and China Merchants Bank advanced 6.9%.
Japan's Nikkei 225 Average rose 1.8% to 8,636.33 and South Korea's Kospi added 1.2%, erasing early declines, while Taiwan's Taiex gained 0.8%.
Chip makers rose sharply in all three markets. Sentiment toward those stocks improved after company executives at Hynix Semiconductor HXSCF and Powerchip Semiconductor PWSCF said they expect a recovery in the sector, which has been plagued by overcapacity and weak prices for several months.
Powerchip and Nanya Technology Corp. jumped 6.9% each, and Inotera Memories gained 6.8% in Taipei, while Hynix surged 14.7% in Seoul. Elpida ELPDF (6665) rocketed 18% in Tokyo on its subsidiaries' plan to raise around $470 million by issuing preference shares to Elpida and its business partners. The move is expected to help Elpida raise money without selling its own stock and diluting equity.
But some analysts kept a cautionary stance, with Deutsche Bank analysts saying that despite recent cutbacks in production, "a full-scale recovery still hinges on further rationalization of capacity."
"The global [chip] demand environment is certainly worse than before, hence we hesitate to chase and recommend taking profits into April earnings-season strength or focusing on relative value," HSBC analysts separately wrote in a report.
Elsewhere in the region, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 finished 1% higher and New Zealand's NZX 50 fell 0.5%. In afternoon trading, India's Sensex had gained 2%, while Singapore's Straits Times Index was up 3.7%.
Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.01% futures were recently up 87 points in screen trade.
"In the short term I can understand this bullishness, but we haven't seen the full impact of the recession. I know markets look through all that, but it's going to cause further pain," said ABN AMRO director David Iron.
Chris Blair, head of Sydney retail trading at Patersons, said Asia has been pre-empting the U.S. market of late. "Every little rally comes to the point where people take profits."
Other shares in Hong Kong did well after posting earnings, with China Life Insurance Co. LFC, +0.74% (2628) rising 4.3% although it reported a 45% drop in 2008 net income Wednesday. Shares of diversified conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa HUWHY (13) ended up 3.3% after the company reported better-than-expected 2008 earnings. The company's profit fell 42%.
Shares of original drug makers were lower in Tokyo after Nikkei reported that the health ministry plans to double the ratio of generic drugs to 30% at nationally-run hospitals by the fiscal year starting April 2013. Takeda Pharmaceutical (4502) TKPHY fell 1.1% and Eisai Co. ESALY, +2.39% (4523) slipped 0.7%.
Korean Air Co. KRNRF ended up 1% as the Korean won continued to gain. The U.S. dollar was recently at 1,330 South Korean won, from 1,356 won a day earlier.
Shanghai-based companies led in China after the government said Wednesday it aimed to turn Shanghai into an international financial center by 2020. Textile and apparel, steel and nonferrous-metals stocks were also on the rise after Beijing said it would raise export tax rebates for some products in those sectors. Shanghai International Port (Group) jumped by the daily limit of 10%.
Shares in Malaysia were recently up 0.8%, Thailand's SET Index gained 1.1% and Philippine stocks rose 2.5%.
In currencies, the U.S. dollar rebounded against the Japanese yen after dropping in New York trading amid confusion over comments by U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Geithner initially appeared willing to entertain a Chinese proposal that an international currency supplant the U.S. dollar as the key global reserve currency, but later said "the dollar remains the world's dominant reserve currency [and] I think that's likely to continue for a long period of time."
The dollar was recently higher at 97.98 yen, from 97.30 yen late in New York, and the euro up at 133.01 yen, from 132.19 yen. The euro changed hands for $1.3575, slipping from $1.3587.
Analysts at RBC Capital Markets said confusion over Geithner's comments had been "needless." "The probability of the U.S. actively talking the dollar down remains remote, but it has left some doubt in investors' minds," they said.
Spot gold was up $3.80 from New York levels at $937.60 a troy ounce. May Nymex crude-oil futures were up 57 cents at $53.34 a barrel on the Globex electronic platform, after falling $1.21 in New York.

Look's 765 is an endurance bike that's built around a high quality frame and fork package, although the brakes on the bike I rode weren't up to the standard of the other components.
I got the chance to spend some time on the 765 at Eurobike Demo Day last week, and it felt like a bike you could ride all day long in comfort.
How come? Well, for a start there's the geometry. You probably know the endurance bike drill by now: chop some length off the top tube and add a bit to the head tube. Compared to Look's 795 race bike, say, the 765 offers a higher, less stretched ride position.
The medium sized model, for example, comes with a 552mm top tube and a 182mm head tube. The stack height (vertical distance between the bottom bracket and the top of the head tube) is 578mm and the reach (horizontal distance between those two points) is 375mm.
All those figures meant that although I moved the headset spacers out from underneath the stem, I was riding in quite a lofty position – a bit too high for my taste, to be honest, although you might like the fact that it's likely to put less strain on your back.
Look has made the seatstays skinny and given the 765 a slim 27.2mm-diameter seatpost. The idea is that they'll flex a little in order to add comfort to the ride.
One other feature that Look has added is its new Carboflax Technology.
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
"A layer of linen fibre has been positioned between the carbon thicknesses on the fork and chainstays to encourage the dissipation of vibrations," says Look. "Another thickness of linen fibre placed around the tube inside the fork and chainstays provides better elongation properties for these tubes, again to filter micro shocks and vibrations that fatigue the cyclist.
"The inclusion of linen, with its vibration filtering properties, increases the bicycle's general performance: the cyclist's body being less loaded, all his energy will be concentrated on steering and pedalling. A real benefit for very long, tough outings."
That's the theory, straight from the horse's mouth. Look isn't the first brand to do something like this. Merida, for example, includes 'Bio Fiber Damping Compound' in some of its bikes, including the Scultura. These are organic flax fibres (linen is produced from flax).
I can't say that I had long enough on the 765 to make a judgement on the effectiveness of the Carboflax technology, so I'm just reporting Look's claims here rather than verifying them. The bike did provide a smooth ride, but was that down to the linen? I couldn't say.
The 765 comes with asymmetric chainstays, the right-hand one being oversized to handle the forces of the drivetrain. Those chainstays are pretty short – 410mm – the idea being to keep the back end tight, and the bottom bracket is a Press Fit 30 standard so the bearings are integrated into the frame. One of the benefits there is increased stiffness.
The 765 does feel pretty rigid when you get out of the saddle and throw it around, although our bike hit the road.cc Scales of Truth at 8.8kg (19.4lb) so it isn't exactly a lightweight (Look claim 8.54kg/18.8lb) . Don't get me wrong, it isn't ridiculously heavy either, but I felt the weight was dulling the bike's acceleration to a degree. Look claims a frame weight of 1,100g and a fork weight of 350g so it would easily be possible to have a much lighter complete bike.
Look offers the 765 in four different builds, this Shimano 105 one being the cheapest at £1,799. It includes an FSA Omega compact chainset and Vero Compact handlebar, Selle Italia Flow saddle and Shimano RS10 wheels. The tyres are Continental Ultra Sport II in a 25mm width.
Shimano 105 is a great groupset – it's really hard to fault, especially for the money – but the FSA Gossamer brakes were a low point of the 765's performance. They felt wooden compared to Shimano alternatives. If this was my bike, they'd be substituted off, or I'd at least upgrade the pads at the earliest opportunity to see if that improved things.
Speaking of upgrading, this is a frameset that could easily handle a higher spec as and when components wear out. Look clearly agrees because the 765 also comes in Shimano Ultegra/Mavic Aksium builds too.
