ten years. I initially saw Suzy for back pain. Working with her led to
dramatic improvements in my mobility, strength and back comfort. Since
then Suzy has supported, coached and humorously cajoled me into
improving my overall health, including my upper and lower body strength
and flexibility, my running and walking, my balance and overall
awareness of my body.
I would recommend Suzy Babcock to anyone who is interested in working
with an inquisitive teacher, a supportive coach and and overall great
Tom Crane
I give Suzy my highest possible recommendation. She is patient, she is knowledgeable of every sinew in the body and infinitely imaginative in finding ways to release frozen patterns, and she has a great sense of humor. Of all the various therapies I current employ, and these include, among others, chiropractic, osteopathic adjustments, and deep tissue therapies, I consider the work I've done with Suzy the most helpful by far in restoring the physical well being and flexibility I now enjoy.
With unending appreciation and affection,

I am no longer in constant pain and am able to use
my arms more than i ever thought possible.
-educating us about body mechanics/efficient function so we can continue to use our aging bodies to the fullest
– space around my joints along with overall strengthen is a long term advantage.
-I have more flexibility now than I did 30 years ago.
-provides mental stimulation along with a good body workout.
-after a session with Suzy, it's often hard to tell if I've worked out or had a massage

Earlier this week to coincide with the start of the new football season the BBC launched a new digital friendly font on the BBC Sports website. This new font is eventually expected to be seen right across the BBC.
This is the first update to the BBC Sport brand guidelines in 7 years, during which time the way users consume content has drastically changed. The new font is intended to help the BBC engage with it's online readers.
The new font, called BBC Reith, takes its name from the BBC's founder Lord Reith and is a font that has been developed by the in house design team at BBC. The switch is expected to save them money in the long run as they won't be required to pay the license fees for the current commerical fonts that are being used.
"The existing fonts that the BBC uses (Gill Sans, Arial, and Neue Helvetica) were developed last century and work well in print – but they're not always clear enough when they appear in small, digital, spaces, and we're all reading and watching far more on screens and mobiles these days," says Colin Burns, chief design officer at the BBC.
"So the new font – which we'll gradually roll out, starting with sport today – will be easier to read and clearer, especially on small devices," he adds.
Whilst the new font will eventually be used right across the BBC, they have no plans to change the distinctive block logo which is so well known.

"Bumps in the road?" Mr. Romney said Monday as he sized up Mr. Obama's interview performance and rattled off examples of tumult abroad. "We had an ambassador assassinated…twenty thousand people have been killed in Syria. We have tumult in Pakistan and of course Iran is that much closer to having the capacity to build a nuclear weapon. These are not bumps in the road, these are human lives."I couldnt have put it better myself. Well, maybe I could but I'm not running for president. And unlike these two candidates, I dont run.
THIS is a "bump in the road"

Returning Kiwis help lift hope for economy
4:00AM Wednesday Jul 22, 2009
By Lincoln Tan and Brian Fallow
Annual immigration to the end of June reached the highest level in two years, adding to hopes of recovery from recession.
The number of permanent migrant arrivals exceeded departures by 12,515 in the 12 months to June 30, boosted by a rising number of returning New Zealanders, according to Statistics New Zealand figures issued yesterday.
That's up from 11,202 in the year to May and is the most since the 12 months to February 2007.
"It has much to do with the current global recession and returning expats, and the numbers departing to Australia has been significantly reduced," said Richard Howard, chairman of the New Zealand Association for Migration and Investment.

Organ and Keyboard Cavalcade Review by Ian King
This was the last CD release of 2014 and comes from Nicholas Martin, BEM. The 'BEM' refers to the British Empire Medal he received in the 2015 New Years Honours (for his charity work with "Miracles To Believe In"), so congratulations to him.
This is the follow-up to his 2013 release "No Matter What" and features the same setup, namely his trusty Technics FA-1, with the Roland Fantom XR module and "Theatre Organ In A Box" software on four of the tracks*. It's around his seventeenth CD played solely or partly on the FA-1, with the last three of these including the TOiaB addition.
As with his previous Technics offerings, it contains a mixed selection of show tunes, pop, big-band, theatre organ and novelty numbers. Highlights include, the Glenn Miller Selection, "Buffoon", "Carillon", "Folies Bergere March", the Tower Ballroom Selection, "Nights of Gladness" and "Goodbye to Love".

As the month is drawing to a close, my heart is sinking. I wish time would go by slowly, and August would never end. The reason being, our daughter is heading off to University on the first week of September. She will now have to live on her own and far away from us. I know she is probably so excited about her new journey and the chance to be away from home. We as parents, especially a "mom" cannot stop worrying about our children.
The more I think of it, the more my heart sinks and dollops of tears swell up in my eyes. I am fighting very hard to not get emotional as I am penning down my thoughts even now. It is just too many memories, too much time spent together and the amazing bond we share. I cannot imagine my house without my girl – she, and I are like long lost friends to whom I can open up my heart and talk without being ever judged. So you see, it is one of the hardest things I am fighting with. As I spent few days getting emotional and crying my heart out, I saw a post from one of my friends who lives in India on Facebook. The post was about her daughter who studies in USA wishing her well for the upcoming year.
Suddenly, I felt so small. Here I was, living in Costa Rica and getting all emotional about my daughter going back to Canada for her studies, which is a few hour's flight, and on the other hand, I see a person who is miles apart putting up a brave front. I reached out to her and expressed myself and thanked her for giving me strength. Her response to my message just blew me apart. Suddenly, my reference point changed. Up until now, I was only thinking of my friends who live in Canada, and their kids were going to Universities in Canada. Hence, to me my challenge seemed way bigger. In other words, my reference point was so small. As soon as my reference point shifted, I could handle my situation way better.
Whether we are consciously aware of them or not, we all have reference points. These points dictate what we do in our life and who we become. We have reference points for every area of our existence. They are what we look up to and what guides us. These reference points play a very critical role in shaping our path or towards fulfilling our own destiny. Our mind is so much more capable than what we think. The only difference between a successful person and who is not is the way they think and act.
The key to increasing your performance, in whatever area it might be, is to alter your reference points. You want better grades in school? Don't study for a C+ or a B, study for an A. You want to be in better shape? Work out to have the best body, not just enough to get by. You see; most people simply want to "get by." This is why they struggle along that line. For example, people that make an insane amount of money have a vastly different reference point than people just getting by when it comes to money. Success is all about having greater reference points. There is a big difference between someone who just wants a job to make some money and someone who wants to be rich. The point of reference is what can help you unravel this enigma.
If you want to be successful and want to create massive changes within your life, you have to change what is acceptable to you. Increase the threshold to a level where you will experience enormous improvements. Alter what is considered OK for you and aim higher. People that lose weight or stop smoking dramatically are people that have drastically changed their reference points. No longer is it acceptable for them to be out of shape and in poor health. They now have a point of reference that challenges them to be that much better. It is via changing what you are comfortable with and what is acceptable to you that you will achieve significant milestones within your existence.
Change your reference, change your life!

Heirloom Beans: Preserving History
If meat ever moves out of the center of the plate, heirloom beans are ready to fill the void. Economical, nutritious and often oh so pretty, heirloom beans today take center stage in vegetarian cuisine and are widely used as side dishes and garnishes on menus around the country.
Heirloom beans are nutritious, but not necessarily more nutritious than non-heirloom ones; Both are fiber- and protein-rich. The nutritional value depends on the type of bean. Even though heirloom beans cost two to three times more than everyday beans, they still are significantly less expensive than putting meat, poultry or fish on the table.
Cultivated around the globe for centuries, heirloom beans grow as nature created them, untouched by modern technology or horticultural tampering. They come in thousands of varieties and are used dried and fresh in many of the world's cuisines. They're especially popular throughout the Mediterranean region, but are also used in Asian and other international cuisines and in regional American dishes.
It's important to preserve these heirloom vegetables, once they are gone, they're gone forever.
Newcomers to the world of heirloom beans often look for perfectly formed straight beans. Heirloom beans are not always like that. They can be curled or misshapen and still be perfectly good. When customers learn their history and that they are special, they realize that the rest of our food and ingredients must be special, too.
Cooking dried beans
- For optimum results when cooking dried beans, follow these tips. Whenever possible, soak beans covered overnight at room temperature or in the cooler.
- Do not soak in boiling water. A slow penetration of water protects the beans' skin.
- If you can't soak beans overnight, add beans to boiling water, turn off heat and let stand 1 hour.
- Always discard soaking liquid and cook beans in fresh water.
- Avoid excess water, which can leach out color and cause colors to run together.
- Cook until desired tenderness. Time will vary by type of bean.
- Cook beans until slightly tender before adding salt, tomatoes, sugar or acids of any kind, which harden the seed coat and make it nonpermeable.
The Culture in kitchens
The process of education, as Socrates noted over two millennia ago, is simply a dialogue; one or more civil people exchanging embarrassing questions. Ideas are thought to be contagious in a congenial setting; a place like the dinner table, where the participants are fed well and therefore well bred.
5 Tips For Baking With a Toddler
What's that you say? Make an extreme mess with toddlers in the kitchen? The one who flings things everywhere and thinks it's high class good times to blow chocolate milk out of their nose?
In a word: YES.
However much of a pain the butt it may be, creating things with your little ones is simply one of the best ways in which we can parent and spend time with our children. In my humble opinion. Toddlers love touching and discovering new textures. They really love to learn new skills – especially if it involves doing the everyday stuff that they watch you do.
They want to be all up in that business. Which, since I love to cook and bake…it's not a far stretch to imagine that I'd suck up the mess and get into some baking with my little ones.
For however much I preach about the benefits of getting creative with young children, (whether be in baking, cooking or crafting), I cannot deny that there is a rather winning formula. A method to the madness if you will, that facilitates for less mess and stress; more fun and sensory play…
1. Say Good-bye To Perfectionism An egg (or two, or three), WILL get dropped on the floor. Get over that. Milk shall spill. Flour will get everywhere. Expect to mop the floor after. Nothing will be picture perfect, so forget those visions of fancy royal icing cookie creations dancing in your head.
2. Timing Is Everything Don't start a recipe when your toddler is tired or hungry. This might go without saying, but it was worth reinstating. You also don't want them bouncing off the walls either. Choose that magical time after a session at the park and a snack, for example – and wrap their cute little bodies up in an apron.
3. Prep Your Ingredients Beforehand I never invite my little ones on the scene before prepping all that I can ahead of time. All tools of trade are out, as well as ingredients. Anything that I can do to make things flow better (like measuring), without actually doing the whole thing myself, I will.
4. Go With The Flow & Play It Safe You don't have to be so stringent as to have assigned tasks, but you can try and keep the potential for fight breakouts between siblings to minimum by putting one toddler on dry ingredients and another on the wet. This never lasts but it's a good way to begin the process. Always keep the unsafe tools out of reach and practice/teach safety regarding the use of the oven and other culinary tools you might be using. Use non-breakable bowls and measuring cups. Let them taste test as they go and if you have really young toddlers in the mix, have play food and extra bowls on hand that they can just go nuts with. And by nuts, I mean nuts. You drew a bath beforehand to dump them in, right? Good.
5. Savour & Congratulate! Let them eat, eat and eat some more. High fives all over the place.
Strawberry Rhubarb Terrine
Strawberry Rhubarb Terrine serves 8-12
Molded strawberry rhubarb dessert terrine, with fresh strawberries, rhubarb, lemon juice, and orange zest.
- 1 lb rhubarb stalks, cut into 1/2-inch segments (if rhubarb stalks are large and stringy, peel first)
- 3 cups water, divided into 2 cups and 1 cup
- 3/4 cups sugar
- Grated zest from one orange
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 quarter-ounce packets of plain, unflavored gelatin
- 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 2 5×9 loaf pans
Bring 2 cups of water, the orange zest, and the sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the lemon juice and rhubarb pieces. Bring to a simmer. Let cook for about 4 minutes, until rhubarb is just tender, but not disintegrating. Remove the pan from the heat.
While the rhubarb is simmering, put 1 cup of cold water in a small bowl. Pour the gelatin from the packets over the water. Stir to make sure all of the gelatin powder is wet. Let soften for about a minute.
Put the gelatin water into the rhubarb sugar mixture. Slowly stir so as not to break up the rhubarb, but to make sure the softened gelatin is completely dissolved.
Pour mixture into two loaf pans, evenly divided, or one large casserole dish. Add the strawberries to the pans, gently distributing them among the rhubarb pieces. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 6 hours, or overnight, until firm.
To unmold, fill a large bowl or basin with very warm water. Dip the bottom of one of the loaf pans into the water and count ten seconds. Remove from the water and run a blunt knife along the edges of the pan to break the suction. Place a serving platter upside down over the pan and gently turn the pan over. You might need to give it a little tap to release the terrine from the mold. If it's stubborn, place it back in the warm water for a few more seconds.
What's So Great About Organic Food?
What's So Great About Organic Food? By Jeffrey Kluger
Looking for a quick way to feel lousy about yourself? Then forget the idea of a healthy diet and just eat what your body wants you to eat. Your body wants meat; your body wants fat; your body wants salt and sugar. Your body will put up with fruits and vegetables if it must, but only after all the meat, fat, salt and sugar are gone. And as for the question of where your food comes from — whether it's locally grown, sustainably raised, grass-fed, free range or pesticide-free? Your body doesn't give a hoot.
But you and your body aren't the only ones with a stake in this game. Your doctor has opinions about what you should eat. So does your family. And so too do the food purists who lately seem to be everywhere, insisting that everything that crosses your lips be raised and harvested and brought to market in just the right way. If you find this tiresome — even intrusive — you're not alone. "It's food, man. It's identity," says James McWilliams, a professor of environmental history at Texas State University. "We encourage people to eat sensibly and virtuously, and then we set this incredibly high bar for how they do it.
The ideal — as we're reminded and reminded and reminded — is to go organic, to trade processed foods for fresh foods and the supermarket for the farmers' market. Organic foods of all kinds currently represent only about 3% of the total American market, according to the most recent numbers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), but it's a sector we all should be supporting more.
That sounds like a great idea, but we'll pay a price for it. Organic fruits and vegetables cost 13¢ to 36¢ per lb. more than ordinary produce, though prices fluctuate depending on the particular food and region of the country. Milk certified as hormone- and antibiotic-free costs $6 per gal. on average, compared with $3.50 for ordinary grocery-store milk.
What's more, while grass-fed beef is lower in fat, and milk without chemicals is clearly a good idea, it's less obvious that organic fruits and vegetables have a nutritional edge to speak of. A 2009 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition led to a firestorm in the food world. It found no difference between organic and conventional produce with regard to all but three of the vitamins and other food components studied, and conventional produce actually squeaked past organic for one of those three.
"We draw these bright lines between organic and conventional food," says McWilliams. "But science doesn't draw those lines. They crisscross, and you have people on both sides of the argument cherry-picking their data." For consumers trying to stay healthy and feed their families — and do both on budgets that have become tighter than ever — the ideological back-and-forth does no good at all. What's needed are not arguments but answers.
The Wages of Eating The biggest reason not to ignore the food purists is that in a lot of ways they're right. Our diet is indeed killing us, and it's killing the planet too. Earlier this month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta released a study revealing that nearly 27% of Americans are now considered obese (that is, more than 20% above their ideal weight), and in nine states, the obesity rate tops 30%. We eat way too much meat — up to 220 lb. per year for every man, woman and child in the U.S. — and only 14% of us consume our recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Our processed food is dense with salt and swimming in high-fructose corn syrup, two flavors we can't resist. Currently, enough food is manufactured in the U.S. for every American to consume 3,800 calories per day — we need only 2,350 in a healthy diet — and while some of that gets thrown away, most is gobbled up long before it can go stale on the shelves.
Keeping the food flowing — and the prices low enough for people to continue buying it — requires a lot of industrial-engineering tricks, and those have knock-on effects of their own. Up to 10 million tons of chemical fertilizer per year are poured onto fields to cultivate corn alone, for example, which has increased yields 23% from 1990 to 2009 but has led to toxic runoffs that are poisoning the beleaguered Gulf of Mexico. Beef raised in industrial conditions are dosed with antibiotics and growth-boosting hormones, leaving chemical residues in meat and milk. A multicenter study released just two days after the obesity report showed that American girls as young as 7 are entering puberty at double the rate they were in the late 1990s, perhaps as a result of the obesity epidemic but perhaps too as a result of the hormones in their environment — including their food. And for out-of-season foods to be available in all seasons as they now are, crops must be grown in one place and flown or trucked thousands of miles to market. That leaves an awfully big carbon footprint for the privilege of eating a plum in December.
The food wars are fought on multiple fronts, but it's the battle over meat that generates the most ferocious disagreement. Americans have always been unapologetic carnivores, which befits a nation that grew up chasing buffalo and raising cattle across endless stretches of open plains. But lately things have gotten out of hand. The U.S. produces a breathtaking 80 billion lb. of meat per year, with poultry alone making up 35 billion lb. It's now common knowledge that the animals are raised in mostly miserable conditions, jammed together on factory farms and filled with high-calorie, corn-based feed that fattens them up and moves them to slaughter as fast as possible. It can take up to two and a half years to raise a grass-fed cow, while a feedlot animal may face the knife after just 14 months.
The idea of animals living such short, brutish lives introduces an element of altruism into the organic-vs.-commercial debate over meat that isn't there for other foods. Just this month, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland brokered a truce between animal-rights activists and farmers in his state to improve the living conditions of hogs, veal calves and hens; that agreement followed similar reforms enacted in California in 2008.
"When you're raising something with a circulatory system and a nervous system, they deserve care," says Bev Eggleston, the owner of EcoFriendly Foods, a decidedly nonindustrial farm in Moneta, Va., that produces cattle, hogs, veal, lamb and poultry. Eggleston's animals live in fields and coops, not feedlots and cages. The farm has a petting zoo, and the doors of the slaughterhouse are open to visitors so they can see the clean and as-humane-as-possible conditions in which the animals are killed. "I want to speak for the animals," Eggleston says. "When I pull a knife, I want them to know their gift is being received."
There are material advantages to that kind of humane treatment. Cattle that eat more grass have higher ratios of omega-3 fatty acids to omega-6s, a balance that's widely believed to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and arthritis and to improve cognitive function. Take the cows out of the pasture, put them in a feedlot and stuff them with corn-based feed, and the omega-3s plummet.
"The levels are almost undetectable after three months," says Ken Jaffe, a former physician who now runs Slope Farms, an open-air cattle farm in the Catskill Mountains of New York. The big beef manufacturers concede that while the ratio for omega-6s to omega-3s is 1.5 to 1 for grass-fed cows, it leaps to 7 to 1 for those that are grain-fed. But industry reps challenge the significance of those numbers. "The best ratio hasn't been determined yet in terms of nutritional balance," says Shalene McNeill, a registered dietitian working for the National Beef Cattlemen's Association, an industry group. "And it's important to remember that this is just one small part of a consumer's overall diet."
Farm-raised animals are also higher in conjugated lineoleic acids, fatty acids that, according to studies of lab animals, may help reduce the risk of various cancers. What's more, animals not raised on feedlots have less chance of spreading E. coli bacteria through contact with other animals' manure, though the industry insists it is making improvements, with better spacing of animals on the lots and better cleaning methods in slaughterhouses.
Hogs and chickens present fewer problems than cattle — at least in terms of chemicals — since government regulations prohibit farmers from using growth hormones on either animal. But antibiotics are still served up liberally, and that creates other dangers. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), for example, an often deadly pathogen associated mostly with hospital-acquired infections, has been increasingly turning up in hog farmers, who contract it from their animals. In one study last year, a University of Iowa epidemiologist found that 49% of the hogs she tested were positive for MRSA, as were 45% of the humans who handled them.
Far more troubling — if only because the problem is far more widespread — is the recent recall of more than half a billion eggs from two producers due to salmonella contamination. Salmonella is hardly unheard of even among chickens raised in comfortable, free-range conditions. But when you confine half a dozen birds at a time in cages no larger than an opened broadsheet newspaper, and stack hundreds or thousands of those so-called battery cages together, you're going to spread the bacterium a lot faster. The egg manufacturers stress that thoroughly cooking eggs can kill salmonella — which is true as far as it goes. But treating chickens like conscious creatures instead of egg-manufacturing machinery can help avoid outbreaks in the first place.
Short of swearing off eggs and meat — a perfectly good choice, but with only 3% of Americans describing themselves as vegetarians, not likely for most people — there are no easy solutions. For one thing, if we all decided to switch to healthier, chemical-free meat, there wouldn't be remotely enough to go around. Only 3% of cattle in the U.S. are organically raised, and just 0.02% of hogs and 1.5% of poultry. What's more, that scarcity helps drive the already premium price higher still.
Another alternative is to eat more fish, which is healthier anyway because it's leaner, lower in calories and higher in omega-3s. But with fish stocks collapsing worldwide because of rampant overconsumption, there's only so far that solution could take us. A half measure — but a very powerful one — is simply to cut back on whatever meat we do eat, even if we can't quit it altogether. This shouldn't be too hard: Americans already consume at least 1.5 times as much meat as the USDA recommends in its famed food pyramid. And with plenty of protein to be found in eggs, soy, cheese, grains, nuts, legumes and leafy green vegetables, there is no shortage of ways to compensate.
"You need to eat animals only to close the nutrient cycle," says Fred Kirschenmann, a distinguished fellow at the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University. "If we changed a few things about how we live, we'd have fewer animals in the system."
Cash Crops When animal protein, whether organic or not, becomes a supporting player in the diet, then fruits, veggies and grains take the lead. That's generally a good thing, but here too there are complications. The back-to-the-land ideal of farming without the use of synthetic pesticides and other chemicals can take you only so far in a country with 309 million mouths to feed (not to mention a world with 6.8 billion). Say what you will about the environmental depredations of agribusiness, industrial farms coax up to twice as much food out of every acre of land as organic farms do. And even that full-tilt output may not be enough to keep up with a global population that's galloping ahead to a projected 9 billion by 2050.
"Only about 5% of the arable land on the planet remains unused," says McWilliams. "But we'll need to increase food production by 50% to 100%." If we have to spray, fertilize and even genetically engineer our way there, that's something we may simply have to accept. (See Dr. Mehmet Oz's take on organic food.)
In the U.S., running out of crop foods is not a problem — at least not yet — but pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables cause people some perfectly reasonable worries. Properly washing or peeling produce can take care of most of the problem, but if you buy organic, you avoid the pesticide issue altogether, right? Not necessarily. It's not just that drift from nearby nonorganic farms can contaminate other crops in the vicinity; it's also that organic farmers use pesticides of their own. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, there are now 195 registered biopesticides — substances derived from animals, plants or minerals that are toxic to certain species — used in 780 commercial products. There is broad agreement that biopesticides are not as dangerous as commercial pesticides, but less toxic doesn't mean nontoxic, and even such lower-impact chemistry has a nasty habit of hanging around in soil and water longer than you want it to. "Organic farming may represent only 2% of the total of all farming," says McWilliams, "but what if it became 20%? The chemicals are used only sparingly now, but they wouldn't be then."
Organic fertilizers are less of a problem, since they consist mostly of manure, as well as other relatively benign materials like peat, seaweed, saltpeter and compost. Humble as such substances are, however, they can become awfully pricey, because you need very big quantities to pack the same fertilizing punch as synthetic brands do. "It can take four tons of manure per acre to raise food," says McWilliams. "When you know that, a bag of synthetic fertilizer starts to look pretty good."
Wallet and Palate But for most consumers — even those who think of themselves as environmentally conscious — the critical considerations in deciding to go organic involve the far more personal matters of price, flavor and nutrition. Last year's nutrient study had a lot of organic partisans wincing — and a lot of commercial growers feeling smug — but one paper is hardly the whole story. The real difference between organic and nonorganic produce is in the relative presence of micronutrients such as copper, iron and manganese, as well as folic acid, none of which were included in the study. With these, the results are mixed. (See whether you should buy organic or conventional food.)
In a meta-analysis conducted by the Organic Center, a nonprofit group in Boulder, Colo., organic produce was found to be 25% higher in phenolic acids and antioxidants. "It's these components that are deficient in American diets, so that makes this finding especially significant," says Charles Benbrook, the group's chief scientist. But the organic label alone is not enough to ensure that all consumers get the same boost. "The real nutrient value in produce comes from the soil," says Kirschenmann. "So that's a mixed deal unless you know the farmer and know how he's managing his soil."
The farmer also plays the biggest role in determining the most subjective of all variables: taste. You can start a lot of arguments about whether organic crops actually have better, fresher, more complex flavors than industrial crops do, but without a double-blind taste test, there's no way to know. On a few points, most people agree: a freakishly large, overly engineered tomato or strawberry designed to ripen en route to a distribution center will never come close to the taste of its vine-ripened, fresh-picked cousin. The Red Delicious apple is the poster fruit for what can go wrong when commercial growers manipulate their product too much. Bred and rebred for an ever redder skin and an ever more tapered shape, the apples became mealy, juiceless and all but unpalatable inside. (See the results of a farm vs. supermarket taste test.)
That, however, is not to say organic growers don't also try to prettify their produce before revealing it to the world. "Green markets can be a kind of food pornography," says Manny Howard, author of My Empire of Dirt, about his experiences with backyard farming. "You buy a big bushel of beet greens without a wormhole in it, and that's just not what farm food looks like."
There may be flavor to be found in lovely and unlovely food alike, and a lot of things have to go right to raise the best-tasting produce. It's not just the quality of the soil that's at work, says Kirschenmann. "Selecting the right variety of plant and using the right mix of compost are important too. With farm-to-table food, the farmers are in many ways the chefs, as opposed to, say, molecular gastronomy, in which so much happens in the kitchen."
The kitchen, of course, is the center of everything for families too, and this is where the shouting of the food partisans fades to babble. Eating an apple is almost always better than not eating an apple, no matter where it came from. And getting the whole brood into the habit of sitting down to a meal of lean meats, lots of veggies and judicious amounts of carbs and starches is hard enough without bringing politics into the mix. Farmers' markets are undeniably great — if you can afford them, if there's one near you and if you have time between the job and the kids to make a special trip when you know you can get everything in a single stop at the supermarket. The food industry undeniably churns out all manner of dangerous and addictive junk without a shred of real nutritional value in it, but there are also food companies that manage to get healthy, high-quality food to market and keep the cost of it reasonable.
The answer, ultimately, is for the two sets of producers — and their two sets of customers — to find a better way to co-exist. It's important to crack down on the industry's most egregious and polluting practices — to say nothing of its punishing treatment of animals — but we need to make sure the food still gets to the stores. It's important too to support the local-farming movement not only to make more fresh foods available to more consumers but also to boost a growing economic sector and perhaps bring down prices as efficiencies of scale come up.
"If we all had to concentrate on raising our own food, we wouldn't have time to do anything else," says Howard. Happily, we don't have to do that anymore. But that doesn't let us entirely off the hook. We still have to get smart about what the people who bring us our food are selling, to find the right mix of the commercial and the local, the organic and the industrial. There's a lot more than just groceries on the line — there's health and long life too.

My best friend died from COPD
By ferrari12395 May 26 at 1:57 pm 1,585 4
I am currently grieving the death of my best friend from COPD who was 60 years old. She lived in Kingman, AZ, US.
Certain questions regarding her death remain unanswered and I hope you could help me answer.
She was diagnosed with emphysema few years back and she quit smoking. She had been doing well but for past one year she would sleep a lot, sometimes would hallucinate, developed high blood pressure and suffered bouts of depression, all of which pointed to progressing COPD.
In feb she fell ill and was found to have severe pneumonia, pulmonary embolism and clots in her legs. She was put on ventilator but got off of it and was doing better now. She was sent to a rehab where initially she was on 3 liters of oxygen which was reduced to 1 liter by the end. Her blood pressure would fluctuate every now and then, and her oxygen levels also needed readjustment.
After coming off the ventilator, she could not even get up on her own, but now she was able to walk using a walker . Though before this incident, she could walk fine.
On 25th last month she was sent home from rehab and the oxygen was removed as according to them it was no longer required. A day before, they performed a short test by removing oxygen and her oxygen level remained stable. Oxygen was put back on. I believe this test was highly flawed and she constantly needed oxygen. Anyway, she was sent home without the oxygen. She was well at the time of leaving and we talked fine. She was supposed to call me right after reaching home but I never got a call. After 4 hours I called 911 and she was found dead on the floor.
Medical examiner's report says that at 8:30 her body was warm and rigor had not set in. She had collapsed at 3:30. Cause of death is mentioned only as COPD.
My question is- how did she most likely died? And could it have been quick or a long process as at 8:30 her body was still warm?
What I fear is that if it was asphyxiation, it might have been a long and painful process as even though her oxygen levels would have dropped, they might not have dropped too much to cause an immediate death.
Someone suggested that it could have been a cardiac arrest, stroke or pulmonary embolism arising from blood clot. But why it doesnt make much sense to me is that if either of these had been the case, she would have died around 3:30 then how could her body be still warm at 8:30. Secondly, i strongly believe it had to do with oxygen being removed as that was the only different thing than at the time of death and past three moenths when she was in hospital on oxygen
Also, had she not died, what approximately could her life expectancy have been?
Kindly provide your views and if anything is expected from me, kindly let me know.

It was cocktail hour at the Long Beach Yacht Club.
Commodore David Berg stood on the club balcony and, drink in hand, surveyed the thicket of white masts that line the Long Beach Marina.
As waitresses took orders and yachtsmen grazed on hors d'oeuvres, Berg recalled what the marina looked like more than 25 years ago, when the club was built.
"Marshland . . . mud flats," Berg said. Without the club, he added, "the marina wouldn't have prospered as it has."

Crispy Garlic Pork (หมูทอดกระเทียมพริกไทย)
When I was in Bangkok, I loved going to the local morning markets and get some prepared food for breakfast. I love those markets---it is so lively and full of delicious cheap eats. One of the foods I would away buy is Crispy Garlic Pork (หมูทอดกระเทียมพริกไทย).
The crispy garlic pork street stalls in Bangkok usually marinate their pork with garlic , black pepper and rice flour overnight, then deep fry it to golden crispy. The crispy garlic pork is often paired with freshly steamed glutinous rice-- they are so tasty and addicting. However, after turning 30, I found that it is almost impossible to ease my stomach after having deep fried foods with glutinous rice. So for the sake of my stomach, today I served it with steamed white rice and it worked just fine.
I usually use pork butt or pork belly for this recipe. However, you can try pork ribs or chicken for healthier version. Below is my crispy garlic pork recipe.
350 grams pork butt, cut into bite size pieces
3 cloves Chinese garlic
15 black peppercorns
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoon Thai light soy sauce
2 tablespoon rice flour
50 cc. water
Canola oil for deep frying
1. Pound the garlic and the peppercorns until becomes smooth paste. Marinate the pork with it and the rest of the marinate ingredients, cover and let sit in the fridge over night.
2. Deep fry the pork in hot oil. Serve hot.

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has admitted that he cannot remember his fierce challenge on Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane.
The 33-year-old gave the striker a jarring welcome to international football when he crashed into the forward during a friendly between Italy and England in March 2015.
Kane spoke of the incident during his pre-match press conference, but Chiellini has admitted that he cannot recall the moment.
"Kane said I made a rough challenge on him once? I don't remember, it could be the case, but it wasn't on purpose," the defender told reporters during a press conference.
"He's an extraordinary forward as his statistics from the last year show. He's a complete forward who plays for the team. In my opinion he was already one of the best strikers and people were already talking about him then. I think I was a good judge."
The two players are expected to come face to face again in Tuesday's Champions League last-16 tie in Turin.

The Poteau Pirates, ranked No. 1 in 4A by OKPreps.com, started postseason play on the right track.
Poteau's defense picked off five passes and the Pirates pitched a shutout as they posted a 16-0 win at home against Oologah in the first round of the 4A playoffs.
Poteau (11-0) will play at home again next Friday at 7 p.m. in the 4A quarterfinals, as the Pirates face Blanchard, which beat Cache in its opening-round playoff game.
The Pirates got all the points they needed in the second quarter, when quarterback Jett Pitchford broke loose down the sideline for a 45-yard touchdown run. The PAT was missed, keeping Poteau ahead 6-0, and that score stood entering the fourth quarter.
Poteau built the lead early in the final quarter as Garrett Clark kicked a 28-yard field goal, finishing a drive that was set up by an interception from Christian Duncan.
Then in the closing seconds, after Kagan Stockton picked off a pass, the Pirates put the game away as Dalton Brock reached the end zone on a 4-yard run, followed by Clark's PAT.
Jagger Dill intercepted two Oologah pass attempts as well.
Vian 74, Hugo 21
The Wolverines built a 34-0 lead by the end of the first quarter as they easily rolled to the win in Friday's 2A first-round playoff.
Vian (9-2) now goes to Oklahoma City Millwood, the No. 1 ranked team in 2A, in the second round next week. Millwood defeated the Wolverines in last season's quarterfinals.
Senior tailback Bodhi Vann rushed for 194 yards on just nine carries and had four TDs, all in the first half as Vian built a 55-8 halftime advantage.
Solomon Wright put Vian ahead to stay on a 5-yard TD run. Then after Hugo fumbled the ensuing kickoff with Vian making the recovery, Vann's 7-yard TD run helped extend the lead to 14-0.
Later in the first quarter, Javyn Wright added a 7-yard TD run and threw a 23-yard TD to Elijah Wright.
Vian also got a 50-yard interception return for a TD from Whitt Fletcher, as well as a fumble return for a TD by Solomon Wright.
Keota 28, Strother 0
The Lions got a shutout win to begin the first round of the B playoffs.
Keota (8-2) moves on to the B quarterfinals as the Lions travel to Tulsa to take on Regent Prep, the No. 3 ranked team in B.
Chaz Williams began Friday's scoring with a 23-yard TD run, followed by a two-point pass from Cash Long to Keelyn Parker. Then, after Keota's Cordell Ramsey recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff, Keota made it 14-0 later in the first quarter on a 1-yard TD run from Jance Welch.
Welch then had a TD run covering 24 yards, while Long found Williams from 40 yards out late in the third quarter to cap the scoring.
Keota defensive lineman Cody McCormick recorded four sacks on defense, while Brandon Geer chipped in with an interception.
Stigler 33, Locust Grove 7
Behind a strong rushing performance from Panther quarterback Nate Bryant, Stigler advanced in the 3A playoffs with a first-round win on the road Friday.
The Panthers (9-2) will now go to Oklahoma City next week to take on No. 1 ranked Heritage Hall in the 3A quarterfinals.
Bryant rushed 41 times for 261 yards and four TDs. He also tossed a 45-yard TD pass to Bruce Engle for the Panthers' opening touchdown on the night.

Japanese researchers have developed a new compound that enhanced motor function recovery after brain damage in animal tests, according to a study published in the journal Science.
The small-molecule compound, called edonerpic maleate, was developed by a research team led by Yokohama City University and Toyama Chemical Co., Ltd. in Japan. When administered to rodents and monkeys undergoing rehabilitation for brain damage, both groups of animals showed greater and faster recovery of motor function than those with just rehabilitation alone.
Toyama Chemical has already completed a clinical trial for the drug in healthy people, and plans to next conduct a clinical trial with stroke patients. The drug must complete three phases of successful trials before it can be approved as a medication.
More than 17 million people worldwide suffer from strokes each year. The majority of strokes block blood flow to the brain, which can lead to severe paralysis. Loss of function depends on the size and location of the affected area. Some available treatments are limited to the few hours following a stroke. Long-term treatment often involves different types of physical therapy, and motor function recovery varies from patient to patient.
In this new study, macaque monkeys receiving edonerpic maleate and undergoing physical therapy were able to pinch small foods with their fingers within a month of starting treatment. Recovery of such fine motor movements is often difficult for stroke patients.
Notably, the small-molecule compound shows positive results even when treatment started a month after the induction of brain damage - not just hours. This has the potential to boost recovery prospects for many stroke patients.
The compound appears to work in tandem with rehabilitation to enhance neural plasticity. Neural plasticity is the brain's ability to learn and adapt in response to experience. Brain cells affected by stroke cease to function normally within seconds of the trauma. However, the brain can create new pathways between neurons with external stimuli, in this case, physical rehabilitation.
Edonerpic maleate helps this process by facilitating the delivery of an important neurotransmitter receptor, called AMPA receptor, to the structures called synapses, which mediate information between neurons. The AMPA receptors are very important for signal transmission and information processing. They receive signals from glutamate, a major neurotransmitter, and help transmit the glutamate signal to the next neuron. By helping build up AMPA receptors at synapses in conjunction with rehabilitative training, edonerpic maleate helps increase the potential for a signal transmission and neuron response.
The researchers further determined that edonerpic maleate works by binding to an intracellular protein called collapsin-response-mediator-protein 2 (CRMP2), which is related to synaptic plasticity. Mice lacking CRMP2 protein did not show an increase in AMPA receptors nor recovery of motor function, even with edonerpic maleate, indicating that CRMP2 is critical for the compound to work.
The research was done in collaboration with Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, and the National Institutes of Biomedical Innovation, Health, and Nutrition.
Abe, H. et al. "CRMP2-binding compound, edonerpic maleate, accelerates motor function recovery from brain damage." Science April 6, 2018 Vol. 360, Issue 6384, pp. 50-57 DOI: 10.1126/science.aao2300

A : This hair can last for a very long time depending on how you maintain it. Treat it like your own hair and
take very good care of it for it to last longer. Many hair extensionist prefer Brazilian or Indian hair because
it is beautiful and unprocessed which makes it last longer than any other kind of hair.
Process procedure: All of our raw hair is directly imported from abroad without any adulterant. We strictly go through quality control inspections. After our initial selection process, we re-inspect the selected strands of hair from root to top by disinfecting & brushing.

Linda Poon is an assistant editor at CityLab covering science and urban technology, including smart cities and climate change. She previously covered global health and development for NPR's Goats and Soda blog.
To all the urban thinkers and problem solvers of the world—anyone, really, with an ambitious yet feasible plan to improve life in cities—the Knight Foundation is, once again, asking for your ideas in its third and possibly last Knight Cities Challenge. The deadline is Thursday, but even if you've just come up with an idea, it's not too late to submit a winning proposal.
Since 2014, more than 10,000 people have taken part in the challenge for a chance to win part of the $5 million that the Knight Foundation doles out each year in grants. The last two challenges have resulted in dozens of creative projects, including one that brought an entire community together over a meal at the "longest table," and several others that turned vacant lots into local markets, studios, and networking spaces.
George Abbott, special assistant to the vice president for community and national initiatives at the Knight Foundation, says his team will ask the board of trustees to renew the initiative in March. They're currently evaluating the past competitions to determine how the future city-centric competitions might look. But for the time being, he's urging as many people as possible to apply.
The first stage of the application is simple, yet seemingly daunting. It doesn't ask for budget proposals or a project outline. Instead, there are three questions asking applicants to summarize their entire project in one sentence, describe how that project will advance the city it's set in, and finally to explain the timeliness of it. Twenty to 100 words, max.
But don't be deterred. "We want the application process to be open and understandable to as many people as possible," Abbott says. "The more detail that you ask for, the more that may disadvantage someone who perhaps is not familiar with [how to] write grant applications." What they're looking for in the first round is a powerful idea that will stand out across all of the 26 Knight communities. So a project designed for, say, Miami should be able to inspire people all the way in Akron, Ohio.
With thousands of submissions expected—last year's 37 winning projects were selected from a pool of over 6,000 applications—Abbot has a helpful tip for applicants: don't forget the small details. "I've read over 6,000 applications and you would be surprised at the number of which I read and then I don't understand what they want to do," he says. "Everyone has good ideas that they've thought a lot about, and oftentimes people forget to include something that's obvious to them but not to a [judge] from a different city." Before submitting, he adds, have someone else review it.
Looking back at the last two challenges, Abbot says the responses far exceeded their expectations. The foundation garnered over 7,000 applications in the first year, which signified that it had tapped into an eager community that spans all professions. The 30-some winning projects alone came from local governments, artists, universities, and individual residents.
Some of Abbott's favorite projects spawned from very simple ideas, like using art to encourage people to vote in local elections in Philadelphia. As CityLab previously reported, fewer than 15 percent of voters cast a ballot for a mayor in most major cities. Philadelphia, according to the study, saw a 24 percent voter turnout in its last mayoral race.
To encourage residents there, an ad agency teamed up with local street artists to create eye-catching "vote here" signs that were placed near polling sites. And though the team's own study showed little increase in voter turnout, Abbott says the campaign itself was successful in engaging an entire community of artists and designers who then used social media to increase voter awareness among their followers.
Then there were the projects that pushed the limits like the Miami Science Barge, which won a grant in 2015. It's basically a floating marine biology laboratory that hosts hands-on field trips for kids and a series of packed events for adults. It's a fitting project for Miami, a city struggling with sea level rise, says Abbott. But it also sets an example of how ambitious projects can be.
"We had a former city of Miami planner on our review committee and he said, 'Do not fund this project, there is no way they are going to get the permits,' " Abbott recalls. "But there were enough people on the review board that said let's give it a try." He adds that when they took the reviewers to the barge later, it emboldened them to take a closer look at submissions initially deemed unfeasible.
The common characteristics of winning groups, he says, "are a willingness to experiment, a vision for what's possible, and just being willing to take a risk."
Bike equity is a powerful tool for reducing inequality. Too often, cycling infrastructure is tailored only to wealthy white cyclists.
The mega-company has bucked dealing reasonably with New York City, Seattle, and any community that asks them to pay for its freight.
Why do revamped areas remain barren after so much thought and money are put into redesigning them? A case study in Charlotte, North Carolina, offers clues.
A new exhibit from the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association showcases the simple visualizations of complex ideas that have changed how we live.
Scarce, unaffordable housing is not a local problem in a few places, but is baked into the 21st-century global city. It's time for cities, nations, and global leaders to start acting like it.

2016 Soul vs. 2016 Chevrolet Trax | Kia Dealership near me
2016 Kia Soul vs. 2016 Chevrolet Trax
2016 Kia Soul
2016 Chevrolet Trax
|$16,820 at Route 23 Kia
|Starts at $18,612 (The Competition)
|IIHS Top Safety Pick?
|Cargo Room (Cubic Feet)
|10-yr/100k-mile limited powertrain, 5-yr/60k-mile bumper-to-bumper
|Warranty Coverage
|5-yr/60k-mile limited powertrain, 3-yr/36k-mile bumper-to-bumper
Plenty has been said about the new Kia Soul. It makes driving a more exciting thing, even if you are driving a conventional wagon type car. While wagons are usually associated with comfortable family trips to the supermarket, to visits to family in the next town, and with school commutes, the Kia Soul tends to bring some excitement into the journey thanks to its eye-catching looks. The Chevrolet Trax, by comparison, has a more conventional exterior design. This is not to say the Trax is not attractive. It has a regular wagon style, and this could be the right car for people who are looking for a reliable wagon and the Chevrolet brand name. That said, if you are willing to experiment and want to save money on the purchase, the Kia Rio could be a good car.
The Kia Soul offers plenty of savings on the initial purchase. Depending on the trim you could save around $3000 and even more. So if you are willing to buy a car that falls within your budget, the Kia Soul is something you might want to consider. Add to that renowned Kia warranty, of no less than five years, and you begin to understand why this is the car you are most likely to be driving around for a long time to come. The Trax is more expensive, and the warranty is of three years. This might give you some food for thought if you were planning to purchase either of the two cars.
Comfortable Seating
The Kia Soul does better in terms of good seating. The cars can both fit five people. What matters is which car can offer more room. The Kia Soul offers more space for taller passengers to find ease, whether they are in the front seat or the back rows. The space for passengers on the seats is also more for the Kia Soul. Also, there is no jostling at the Kia Soul comes with more room at the shoulder level.
The Kia Soul might be good for city driving because it can turn more easily in small areas. If you are looking to park or reverse, this can be a great feature on your car. The car also comes with stylish aluminum wheels as opposed to the steel wheels on the Chevrolet Trax.
If you would like to check the Kia Soul performance personally, there is no better way than to take the car for a test drive. All you need to do is call your nearby Kia dealership and get the best information, special deals, car loans, and other assistance for your car.View New Kia Soul Inventory

Protecting Migrant Children
In Search of Best Practice
Edited by Mary Crock and Lenni B. Benson
Meeting the Challenge of Cultural Diversity in Europe
Moving Beyond the Crisis
Robin Wilson
Europe has talked itself into a refugee and security crisis. There is, however, a misrecognition of the real challenge facing Europe: the challenge of managing the relationship between Europeans and the currently stigmatized 'others' which it has attracted. Making the case against a 'Europe of walls', Robin Wilson instead proposes a refounding of Europe built on the power of diversity and an ethos of hospitality rather than an institutional thicket serving the market.
Edited by Jacqueline Bhabha, Jyothi Kanics and Daniel Senovilla Hernández
The scope and complexity of child migration have only recently emerged as a critical factors in global migration. This volume assembles for the first time a richly interdisciplinary body of work, drawing on contributions from renowned scholars, eminent practitioners and prominent civil society advocates from across the globe and from a wide range of different mobility contexts. Their invaluable pedagogical tools and research documents demonstrate the urgency and breadth of this important new aspect of international human mobility in our global age.
Edited by Anna Triandafyllidou
This Handbook explores the multifaceted linkages between two of the most important socioeconomic phenomena of our time: globalisation and migration. Both are on the rise, increasing in size and scope worldwide, and this Handbook offers the necessary background knowledge and tools to understand how population flows shape, and are shaped by, economic and cultural globalisation.
Immigration Policy and the Shaping of U.S. Culture
Becoming America
Roger White
The author examines the relationships between immigration policy, observed immigration patterns, and cultural differences between the United States and immigrants' source countries. The entirety of U.S. immigration history (1607-present) is reviewed through a recounting of related legislative acts and by examining data on immigrant inflows and cross-societal cultural distances.
Edited by Benoît Mayer and François Crépeau
This comprehensive Research Handbook provides an overview of the debates on how the law does, and could, relate to migration exacerbated by climate change. It contains conceptual chapters on the relationship between climate change, migration and the law, as well as doctrinal and prospective discussions regarding legal developments in different domestic contexts and in international governance.
Graduate Migration and Regional Development
An International Perspective
Edited by Jonathan Corcoran and Alessandra Faggian
This book aims to integrate and augment current state-of-the-art knowledge on graduate migration and its role in local economic development. Comprising the key scholars working in the field, it draws together an international series of case studies on graduate migration, a recognised critical component of the global pool of labour. Each chapter describes empirically founded approaches to examining the role and characteristics of graduate migration in differing situational contexts, highlighting issues concerning government policy, data and methods.
Edited by Philippe Bourbeau
This Handbook provides a state-of-the-art analysis of the critically important links between migration and security in a globalising world, and presents original contributions suggesting innovative and emerging frontiers in the study of the securitization of migration. Experts from different fields reflect on their respective conceptualisations of the migration-security nexus, and consider how an interdisciplinary and multifaceted dialogue can stimulate and enrich our understanding of the securitisation of migration in the contemporary world.
Edited by Felicity Thomas
Migration is now firmly embedded as a leading global policy issue of the twenty-first century. Whilst not a new phenomenon, it has altered significantly in recent decades, with changing demographics, geopolitics, conflict, climate change and patterns of global development shaping new types of migration. Against this evolving backdrop, this Handbook offers an authoritative overview of key debates underpinning migration and health in a contemporary global context.
The Concept of Climate Migration
Advocacy and its Prospects
Benoît Mayer
This timely book offers a unique interdisciplinary inquiry into the prospects of different political narratives on climate migration. It identifies the essential angles on climate migration – the humanitarian narrative, the migration narrative and the climate change narrative – and assesses their prospects. The author contends that although such arguments will influence global governance, they will not necessarily achieve what advocates hope for. He discusses how the weaknesses of the concept of "climate migration" are likely to be utilized in favour of repressive policies against migration or for the defence of industrial nations against perceived threats from the Third World.

Fire Extinguishers
Thousands of people are injured by fire and smoke every year. Although there is no foolproof method to prevent this from happening, Banham Fire's fire extinguisher service can help to make your property a safer place by installing and maintaining fire extinguishers as recommended by the Fire Protection Association.
Fire extinguisher service for the workplace
Regulatory Reform Order 2006 transfers responsibilities to employers to assess Fire Safety risks; implement measures to fight, detect and give warning of fire, plan exit routes, keep those routes clear of obstructions and ensure the safe evacuation of the building.
Portable fire extinguishers and fire blankets, conforming to British Standard 5306:2003 part 3, must be readily accessible, simple to operate and clearly labelled, with designated persons nominated to implement these measures. There must be a range of fire fighting equipment available, including foam, dry powder water and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.
Each different type of fire extinguisher is suited for different causes and classes of fire, and employers are obligated by law to undertake annual fire extinguisher service work. This will ensure that fire fighting equipment is correctly located, fully operational and not damaged. An engineer who has been trained in line with BS Standards must carry out the maintenance.
How Banham Fire can help
We offer a service whereby we are happy to maintain both our own and your existing fire extinguishers.
There are various classes of fire, please see below for the appropriate extinguishers:
Class A: fires involving organic solids such as paper and wood.
Class B: fires involving flammable liquids and liquefiable solids.
Class C: fires involving flammable gases.
Class D: fires involving metals.
Class F: fires involving cooking fat and oil. Electrical: fires involving electrical equipment.
Note: From 1st January 2004 it is an offence to possess Halon extinguishers and any existing units must be safely disposed of immediately.

On Monday mornings Garfield often makes remarks about coffee, and today was no exception. Our family had a little trouble getting the motor started this morning as well, and its the first day of summer camp for the kids which meant early alarm clocks and lunches to pack. All this morning activity needed some coffee.
We thought of this Dave Dudley single from the album Oh Lonesome Me. It was one of his first collaborations with songwriter Tom T. Hall. Their work together is best known by the 1970 hit "Day Drinkin'," but this 1966 tune is a favorite of ours.
