A tight, water heavy and high quality course with some truly memorable holes. Expensive, but worth it.
Twice host of the Asian PGA Championship back in the late 1990s, the Robert Trent-Jones Jr designed Palm Course is the more illustrious of the two excellent courses at Raffles Country Club. The lakes, ponds and waters of the Tengeh Reservoir pose most of the most searching questions on this excellent layout, with water featuring on all but three holes. In combination with contoured fairways that are narrower than its sister course and some extensive greenside bunkering, it makes for a tough proposition, especially off the tee.
The first hole perfectly encapsulates the ethos of the course: a long par-5 where your drive has to find the narrow band of fairway in between water hazards to both sides, while the approach to the green must contend with a long series of bunkers lining the right hand side of the fairway. After that comes an excellent par-4, the hardest hole on the course thanks mainly to the very tough approach shot you'll need to play over water and sand. The green at the par-3 3rd is tiny, no more than 10 yards across at its widest point and the large bunkers to both sides mean there's no room for error. The 4th is a right angle dog-leg with a tricky tiered putting surface and the 5th is a driveable par-4 with a very large undulating green - when the pin is at the back of the green it becomes a de facto dog-leg too, and the bunkers protecting the front of the green mean that going for the pin from the tee is not risk free. The last truly great hole on the front nine is the par-5 8th, a shortish par-5 that snakes right and left through a series of water hazards. You'll need to be able to play controlled fades and draws here to do well.
There's no let up after the turn, the 10th another hole that dog-legs around water. A large fairway bunker in the middle of the fairway means that the safe landing zone is pretty hard to find. The 12th is another gem, a short par-3 where the green is protected by water on three sides and a large shallow bunker behind. However, the closing holes will probably live longest in the memory. The 15th is a short par-4 that dog-legs around a beautiful area of protected jungle, while the par-5 16th is a wonderful, snaking par-5 where the hole is split in three by a water feature cuts the middle part of the fairway away from the rest. The water is back in play just before the green making getting there in two a daunting, if achievable prospect. At the par-3 17th you hit from a tee box surrounded by water to a large green protected by a huge bunker, and the round ends with the second hardest hole on the course. Here, your drive must flirt with marshland to the left of a fairway which sharply turns to the left. You have to carry the edge of the attractive Tengeh Reservoir to reach the green in regulation, an exhilarating final approach that been the cause of many a dropped shot.
While there are occasional reports of sand on the fairways, the course is generally in excellent condition. The traffic noise that invades a couple of holes towards the end of the front nine is a minor annoyance, but an easy one to forgive. Away from the course itself there are full practice facilities including fairway bunker (handy in light of the number of sand traps you'll face), large pro shop, fitness centre, sauna, swimming pool as well as tennis and squash courts. A golfer's terrace serves local and international food, snacks are available at the lakefront cafe and the wine bar is the perfect place to unwind and relive your best shots. A round at the Palm Course at Raffles Country Club will be a highly enjoyable and challenging addition to any Singapore golf holiday.

As one of the world's largest producers of meat products, WH Group is committed to practicing and leading animal welfare initiatives. We believe that the dignity, health, safety, and comfort of animals should be assured during the rearing and slaughtering processes. In addition to responding to the concerns of consumers and stakeholders about animal welfare, we know that good health can also help animals become more resistant to disease, grow faster, and produce better offspring, thus ensuring product quality. Practicing animal welfare is a core part of our business and highlights our responsibility to the society and consumers.
WH Group organizes and implements animal welfare-related works based on internationally well-established animal welfare requirements such as the Animal Welfare Standards of World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Pork Quality Assurance (PQA) Plus, and the EU Animal Welfare Quality Assessment System. During rearing, transportation, and slaughtering processes, we also formulate relevant policies and procedures to ensure that animals are treated properly and humanely. All employees of WH Group engaged in these processes have been given animal welfare training in a systematic way, and the requirements for animal welfare have also been incorporated into the employee code and the production-management standards. With abundant operational experience and in-depth exploration, WH Group is striving to set an example for the industry in the best practices for animal welfare.
Cumulative investment for the transition of all pregnant sows on company-owned farms to group housing systems.
$360 million
Rearing care
When rearing animals, we consistently protect their welfare in the following way:
Feed and nutrition, pain reduction, comfortable growing environment, animal health, physical infection control and medical infection control.
Transportation care
The animal-transportation process is an important one for the Group. To assure proper care and respect for animals, we have established strict transportation standards and have signed detailed contracts with carriers that stipulate our animal welfare-related requirements.
Humane slaughtering
We insist that all hogs are still alive when they are transported to the plant, and the slaughtering process must be carried out at our own plants. In line with animal care principles, we require all incoming hogs to be given a brief respite in a resting pigpen to obtain sufficient water and rest. Hogs at an unsuitable weight will be returned.
Completing the transition to group-housing systems for pregnant sows
As of the end of 2017, all pregnant sows on Smithfield's company-owned farms globally are housed in group-housing systems, just as planned when Smithfield first announced its commitment in 2007. This includes those in Poland, Romania, and joint ventures in Mexico, which were converted five years ahead of schedule. This is reflective of the leading role we play in animal welfare. Total investments made was $360 million. In addition to the efforts at company-owned farms, we recommend that all of our contract sow growers in the United States complete a transition to group housing by the end of 2022.
Adopting a new water feeding nozzle
Compared with the old type of water trough, the new water feeding nozzle we adopt in the U.S saves water and keeps the barn dry. The height of the nozzle can be adjusted for pigs of different sizes. This feeding nozzle is also more suitable for group housing

This thesis has researched further design and development of a system for vario-scale maps. Section 7.1 presents our ultimate vario-scale goal, which will give us perspective to understand issues addressed in the previous chapters such as further development of current generalization tools considering better vario-scale content (Chapter 4), pro- cessing of a large dataset not fitting in main memory (Chapter 5) and smooth user in- teraction (Chapter 6). All these aspects are now brought together in this chapter where they will be summarized and critically evaluated. The main contributions will be put in the context of the thesis by answering the research questions in Section 7.2, mean- while new op r future research will be covered in Section 7.3.

Here's What's Happening @ The Rotary Club of Orange Park Sunset:
The last Monday of each month our club joins the Orange Park Noon Club, Orange Park Sunrise Club, and the Fleming Island Club at a different area restaurant for our monthly "DINE AROUND". A portion of the proceeds from the event is donated back to our clubs by the participating restaurant and is donated to the Rotary Foundation END POLIO NOW campaign. This donation is matched 2 to 1 by the Bill Gates Foundation, so every dollar we raise becomes THREE!
Guests of Rotarians and Rotarians from other clubs are encouraged and welcome to join us. This event replaces our regular last Tuesday of the month evening meeting at the Holiday Inn, so check with our club on a monthly basis to see the location of the next "Dine Around". Come out and join us!
(June 25, 2015)
Great news from Mark Parow, Chairman of our Chili Cook-off Committee. This past Saturday our Club participated in a chili cook-off at Moosehaven to help raise money to send World War II Vets to Washington DC. It was a great event, 12 members of the Club attended the event and our Club took First Place for Peoples Choice Best Chili and Second Place for Best Decorated Booth. Kudos to Mark and his team, (nice trophy Mark) and to Jacki Hale for a great chili recipe.
Joe Anzalone, Chairman of our "Feed The Hungry" program announced that Turkey Dinners for Thanksgiving were ordered for many families in need in our community. Our club members will be distributing these meals on Wednesday, November 24th.
Our Club will be holding another social this Friday at Whity's Fish Camp. Our Club Social Director Bob Tatum let everyone know that we will be outside near the dock area. Bring a jacket.
Our "Rotary Minute" this week was on meeting attendance and make-ups. A member must physically be at a meeting for at least 60% for it to count as an attended meeting. Make-ups could be from attending other club meetings, committee meetings, District and RI events and committee meetings, and other events that are sanctioned by the club board of directors. There is also an Internet make-up meeting that takes @ 30 minutes to complete. Members cannot gather in impromptu settings and count this as a make-up even if Rotary is discussed.
This weeks guest speaker was Mary Hay, Volunteer Recruiter for the Florida Guardian ad Litem Program. The Florida Guardian ad Litem Program is a partnership of community advocates and professional staff providing a powerful voice on behalf of Florida's abused and neglected children. The Statewide Guardian ad Litem Program is supported by the Florida Guardian ad Litem Foundation.
There are still thousands of dependent children who have no voice in court. Mary explained how this program enables the volunteers to advocate for children in the court system that come from these abusive families. Here in NE Florida Fourth Judicial Circuit, the program is looking to add an additional 500 much needed volunteers. Currently there are about 300.

(November 2, 2010)
Survey forms were sent out to all members via email last week. The board requested that these be filled out and submitted anonymously to Dan Pinto at tonight's meeting. This is a short survey designed to capture the general consensus of members in terms of how we are doing as a new club. Please submit your survey if you have not done so at the next meeting.
Tonight's meeting included an open forum board meeting, which all members were encouraged to attend.
Tonight's guests were Chris Tomlinson, branch manager of BB&T, who was invited by Gary Luke, and Ken Baker, President of the Bartram Trail Rotary Club.
Ken came to pitch to us the Bartram Trail 2nd annual Poker Night to be held on June 5th at the St. John's Poker Room. He asked that we encourage attendance for this fundraiser event which netted $10,000 last year for the foundation.
All Sunset members are encouraged to attend the District Award Luncheon which will be held at the Hyatt Regency, downtown Jacksonville, on Monday, May 10th from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Our club is being considered for several awards.

The Clay County Fair, also on the 10th
April's social at Bowl America (behind Lowe's) off Blanding, April 24th
Spring Fling at President-Elect Harold Rutledge's home on May 1st
A Family Club Night is also being planned for one Tuesday in May (to be determined) with motivational speaker, Andy Anderson.
Guest Speaker for this week's meeting was Joe Anderson from Paper Retriever. The purpose of Paper Retriever is three-fold. (1) Paper Retriever finds groups who are willing to collect "white" paper (such as old newspapers) in large bins – the contents of which are funneled to a large manufacturer of newsprint located in Georgia. The manufacturer saves money by using recycled papers instead of wood pulp to create more newsprint. (2) This process diverts papers from the landfills to the manufacturer, which saves room for other non-recyclables and (3) creates an income stream for the groups which sponsor the bins at various locations.
According to Anderson, 38% of the newspaper manufactured at the Georgia plant comes from the recycled papers funneled through Paper Retriever.
Anderson entertained us with his down home rendition of "the Cowford Code" – a poem about the early pioneer days in the Jacksonville area, then known as Cowford – which he recited in our honor. The poem, he said, "captures the spirit of the Rotary Club."
Troy Schader was a guest this week. He is a Certified College Planning Specialist with College Tuition Solutions, helping families through the sometimes lengthy and difficult process of financing college education – but also helping them make the smartest choices so their students can have the most successful college experience possible.
Shop Talk this week was from Emily Gardner. Emily is a CFP® and the owner of EEG Financial Consulting, Inc. Her services include Comprehensive Financial Planning and Investment Consulting. But no one will remember any of that…..all they will remember is that she was a bus driver in high school and that she won the county-wide bus rodeo!
(April 6, 2010)
Our Guest Speaker for this week's meeting was Larry Johnson of the Fleming Island Club who is the District Foundation Co-Chairman of Major Gifts and Bequests. He spoke about the value of individual and club contributions to the Rotary International Foundation and about becoming a sustaining Paul Harris Fellow sustaining contributor. Larry referred to the RI Foundation as "a five-star foundation" and" the muscle behind our service projects!"
The Foundation is structured as an independent entity of Rotary International. The annual interest from the permanent fund is used this way: 90% of the funds are applied toward use for charitable works, with the remaining 10% used for administration. According to Johnson, this is a high standard as far as charitable organizations are concerned.
Johnson emphasized the impact that a contribution at the club level can make toward achieving an end result. The foundation is set up to match, or even sometimes double or triple the value of a service project. For example, if a clubs raises $15,000 for a service project, that amount could be matched with a $15,000 or even $30,000 match grant from the foundation, to make the total amount available for this service project $45,000. In order to get these type of grants, the club must make annual contributions to the foundation through the District.
Johnson related the story of how the Foundation was begun in 1917 – with an initial $26.50 donation which were dollars left over from a Rotary event. By 1928 over $5,000 had been donated. In 1930 the Foundation made its first grant of $500 which was given to a group which later became known as the Easter Seals!
After Larry's presentation, President Joe Anzalone explained that one of the many qualifications for a club to become an annual Premiere Club of Rotary International, at least one individual member must become a Benefactor to the Paul Harris Foundation during that calendar year. He then announced that Keith Litterick had decided to become our clubs "first" benefactor with a bequest of $1000! The RI Foundation sent President Joe a Foundation Benefactor certificate and Benefactor chevron which he presented to Keith to add to and wear with his Rotary pin as recognition of his contribution.
Our Shop Talk this week was from Denise Buzzy. Denise grew up in Florida and graduated from the University of South Florida. While "staying home to raise three boys" she dabbled (more than dabbled!) in cooking and entertaining, and as a result was able to create a line of 18 different cookies, along with other dessert cakes which were sold through a wholesale bakery. After that she owned a restaurant (Buzzy's Café) and a catering service of her own. She also taught cooking classes during this time. Currently, she is the Sales and Catering Manager for the Holiday Inn in Orange Park. She is engaged to be married to her fiancée Joe, who she has known for the last five years. The wedding is planned for July!!!
Other items to note: Don't forget that volunteers are needed to help on the last day of the Clay County Fair which is April 10th. Also, our next social is at Bowl America (the Bowling Alley behind Lowe's) off Blanding Blvd in OP. That social will be on April 24th at 7 pm, so don't forget to bring your bowling ball!
(March 30, 2010)
This week Sunset Rotary participated in two events on Saturday the 20th: the St. John's River Cleanup – in conjunction with the Orange Park Sunrise Club (with 10 of our members in participation) – and our monthly social event was at the Orange Park Kennel Club. Both events were a lot of fun! Club members learned how to pick the winning dogs from our own Bob Tatum, in-resident expert. But Peter Bracken was apparently the big winner on the last race which was named after our club! We had our picture made with the winning dog whose name was "Skiddy Budget".
Harold Rutledge invited two of his high school students to our Sunset meeting to talk about their experience last year at the annual National Police Officer's Memorial event held in Washington, D.C. Every year, Harold and his wife host a group of kids from Clay High to go visit the nation's capital during the time of this event. Harold is spearheading an effort to raise a needed $3000 to send the group to D.C. later in the spring. He and others will be stationed at the corner of Blanding and Wells Road on Saturday, April 3rd to take donations from passersby. Please let Harold know if can help out with this fundraiser for the kids who want to go on the trip.
Other volunteers are needed to help on the last day of the Clay County Fair which is Saturday April 10th.
Don't forget to mark you calendar – our next monthly social is at the Bowl America Bowling Alley on Blanding Blvd, (behind the Lowe's) April 24th at 7 p.m.
The guest speakers for tonight's meeting were from Best Buddies of Florida. The mission of Best Buddies is to enhance the lives of people with intellectual disabilities by providing opportunities for one-to-one friendships and integrated employment. It was founded by Anthony Kennedy Shriver who was inspired by the disability of his aunt, Eunice Kennedy. Best Buddies has chapters in all 50 states and 46 countries. There are 1,000 people involved in the program here in Northeast Florida.
The end of our meeting was spent discussing various charities which our group would like to consider for sponsorship in the future.
There were a number of charities listed by group members at large. We will be researching these organizations and narrowing them down over the next few weeks to determine which ones our club will sponsor.
Member Carrie Kashawlic announced that she will be traveling to NYC next week (April 2nd) for World Autism Awareness Day. She will be traveling with a delegation from Alpha Delta Social Fraternity, for which she is the National Philanthropy Director, to visit the United Nations on Wednesday, ring the opening bell on Wall Street on Thursday, and the visit the Today Show on Friday. Go Carrie!
(March 23, 2010)
Tuesday night's meeting opened with "ringing of the bell to service" at Orange Park Sunset. We were reminded by President Joe Anzalone that February 23rd marks the 105th birthday of Rotary International which officially started on today's date in 1905!
Tonight's guest club members were Peggy White of the Palatka Club and Jim White of the Orange Park Sunrise Club. Peggy presented our club with a check from the Palatka Club in honor of our new club charter.
John Sims reported that the Clay County Science Fair, which took place today at the fairgrounds, was a huge success. One hundred volunteers, 18 affiliated with our club, participated in the event. The Science Fair is an excellent event which provides scholarships and opportunities to Clay County students every year. Thank you to John Sims for spearheading the Sunset effort! Also, John thanks all of you who volunteered!
An announcement was made by President Joe Anzalone concerning the upcoming District Assembly Meeting to be held on Saturday, March 27th at the SJRCC Palatka campus from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. All Rotarians are encouraged to attend this important event.
Keith Litterick reported that the Big Brother Big Sister fundraiser for Clay County will be March 27th. Keith is sponsoring a pre-fundraiser event on Thursday, the 4th to raise additional monies. This will be a wine tasting at his store, Make-and-Take Wines on Blanding Blvd. from 6 – 8 p.m.
John Long was the shop talk presenter this week. John, in his typical folksy manner, delivered a talk that was spontaneous and humorous. John is the founder of JA Long, Inc. which has been a builder of custom designed homes in NE Florida for over 30 years. John explained how he fell into the business rather by accident. But he went on to become quite successful. (John didn't really talk so much about his successes in the talk but I know his company built about half of my neighborhood over the years!) Currently, his oldest son is the president and his second son also works in the company. Linda, his wife, is the office administrator. He and Linda dance West Coast Swing and other dances for fun.
Our guest speaker this past week was Fred Pragasam, a native of India, who teaches in the college of Management and Business at UNF. His emphasis is international management and entrepreneurship. He teaches students to become involved in developing and promoting international programs that foster social responsibility in business through an organization called SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise). Fred is the faculty sponsor for SIFE at UNF.
The mission is of SIFE is to train and motivate college students to teach others how the free enterprise system works and how to succeed in the global market. SIFE motivates students by creating competition among rival colleges to see who is the best at teaching others how the world works and how to achieve their dreams. Go to www.unfsife.com for more information as to how this organization is making a difference in the world.

(February 9, 2010)
Tuesday night's meeting opened with the very first "ringing of the bell to service" at Orange Park Sunset Club. President Joe Anzalone did the honors.
District Governor Dave Faraldo was in attendance at the meeting. Dave presented us with the Paul Harris Society banner which officially acknowledges Orange Park Sunset as a PHS club. This distinguishing honor is given to those clubs which donate $1,000 per year to the foundation.
Other guests included Sandy Faraldo, Dave's wife, Curtis McClees (President -elect Orange Park Noon club), Lillian Bell (Orange Park Noon) and Jim Hughes, Goran Fredrikson and Tim Coleman (Orange Park Sunrise).
Lillian Bell (Orange Park Noon Club member in charge of Rotary at-large participation in the Clay County Science Fair) thanked Sunset members (and related friends and family of our club members) who have volunteered to serve in the upcoming event on February 23rd. Apparently we have hit a volunteer record! One hundred volunteers at-large were needed. And our club participation this year is 18! The Science Fair is an excellent event which provides scholarships and opportunities to Clay County students every year. Thank you to John Sims for spearheading the Sunset effort!Also, John thanks all of you who are volunteering!
At the time of this writing, the Super Bowl Fundraiser has been deemed a huge success! All 100 squares were sold – meaning our club met the goal of raising $1,000 which will go to the winners and another $1,000 for charity. A big thank you to Peter Bracken for organizing the event and pushing us to sell squares! In addition, thank you to Keith Litterick for sponsoring the pre-game party we all enjoyed at Make-N-Take Wines on Friday night!
We were privileged to hear from Tom Signorello during shop talk last meeting. Tom is a server and encourager. So, it makes sense that after Hurricane Katrina, an opportunity to do disaster recovery work and a "heart to help" landed him in New Orleans for a few years. Through disaster recovery work he later met someone in Houston who offered him a job in Jacksonville. As he explained, sometimes you end up somewhere and you just have to make the best of it (my paraphrase). Of course, that is exactly what Tom has done! He now owns a Landscape and Outdoor Lighting company. He is also in the greeting card business – which allows him to help other people "reach out" and get more business through appreciation marketing. Meet with Tom and let him explain how this business works.
Tom is from Wilmington, NC and is the proud father of two children – the most important people in his life – Alexander, 11, and Kaylee, 5, who were both born in Russia! Currently, they live with their mom and step-dad in Wilmington.
Our guest speaker this past week was Fritz Bering, County Manager of Clay County. Fritz relayed to us the seriousness of the local and state economies due to the recession of the last two years and the consequent need to figure out how to "do more with less." He assured us, however, that Clay County is doing a good job of keeping our local system running as smoothly as possible under the circumstances. (Relative to other many other counties we are faring well.) He encouraged us to keep up the good work as Rotarians and continue to serve the community during this time of crisis.
Our biggest "Rotarian push" now is the 1st Annual Charity Golf Shootout our club will be sponsoring February 26th at Eagle Landing Gold Course. Please contact Dan Pinto if you are able to volunteer.
We are still looking for a tournament sponsor! Please contact Joe if you know anyone who may be willing to fill this position, along with any of the other sponsorship opportunities.

Hello! Although it's not been a hot summer thus far (at least not according to my standards), a nice tall glass of ice tea is still refreshing after a workout session or some yardwork. Or while lazing out on the back deck, for that matter.
In years past, I'd made sun tea in a huge pitcher, then made a simple syrup to add some sweetening to the tea. This latter step prevents that pile of undissolved sugar that seems to collect in the bottom of the drinking glass no matter how well you think you'd stirred it in.
This way of making ice tea was fine, but that huge pitcher took up a huge amount of room in our refrigerator. But the way my husband drank up the tea, it didn't make sense to prepare a smaller amount.
Then somewhere I came across a recipe for ice tea concentrate. I don't recall the source, but as I'd written the recipe on a piece of paper, I probably got it off the Internet. It sounded like an easy way to have the makings for ice tea on hand while saving room in the refrigerator. So of course I had to try it.
First, the recipe, then my results.
Ice Tea Concentrate
10 cups water
20 tea bags
5 cups sugar
1. Bring water to boil. Remove from heat and add tea bags. Steep 10-15 minutes.
2. Remove tea bags, add sugar and bring to boil again. Cool and refrigerate.
3. To serve: 3-4 parts cold water to 1 part concentrate, depending on how sweet you like your ice tea.
Here's how it turned out:
Above, nearly three quarts of concentrate, and a glass of ice tea made with it. I used the 4:1 ratio for my glass.
It's just as refreshing as it looks! Now, you may think I diluted my tea too much and that's why it looks rather pale. However, the 20 tea bags I used for the concentrate weren't all of the usual black tea variety, so that is why the tea looks weak. The flavor isn't though. It's just right, although I think even at a 4:1 dilution ratio, the tea is a bit sweet. I think I'll reduce the sugar a bit next time.
Though who knows, maybe that 5 cups of sugar is appropriate for a concentrate using just black tea. But the way I make ice tea is more a mix-and-match version. I do use more black tea than anything else, but I sub in some herbal teas too.
I used to buy a rose hip/hibiscus herbal tea blend sold by Crabtree and Evelyn and began adding it in place of some of the black tea when I made sun tea. I forget now why I began doing this (this would have been back in the early 1990's), but it made for a very nice ice tea. It felt (at least to me) like something you'd get at a B&B or tea room, but was my own concoction.
That particular tea blend is no longer made by Crabtree and Evelyn, but there are other companies that still do. Currently I'm using another brand, Macval.
I'm sure that any herbal tea of your choice would work, though. And speaking of herbs, I also added some sprigs of lemon balm and mint from my herb garden along with the tea bags while making the concentrate.
Could you try this with green tea? Or with honey or another sweetener? I don't see why not, though you're on your own with the amount of sweetener to use.
I'm guessing this could be made ahead and frozen too, if one wants to serve ice tea at a large gathering but wants to do some prep in advance. And of course, the recipe can be reduced if you have a small group on your hands instead.
As for my household - even with my ice tea-swilling husband around, I think a full batch of concentrate will last awhile. So bring the heat on!

Download A Pastoral Ballard, In Four Parts Study Guide
"My Banks They Are Furnished With Bees"
(Magill's Quotations in Context)
Context: Shenstone's poem in the traditional pastoral manner is about the unrequited love of a shepherd named Corydon for the beautiful Phyllis. The poem is in four parts: the first, entitled "Absence," tells of Corydon's love for the young woman, his memories of her, and his sorrow while she is gone from him; Part Two, from which the quotation is taken, tells of the shepherd's hope that Phyllis will return to share the grove and bower and gifts he has prepared for her; Part Three, "Solicitude," tells, as the title indicates, of Corydon's solicitude for his beloved and his fears that another shepherd, named Paridel, will seduce her with mock passion from Corydon's real love; the last part of the poem, "Disappointment," rings with Corydon's complaint, "She is faithless–and I am undone," as he learns that the lovely Phyllis has proved fickle and left him for all time, leaving him only this "same sad complaint." The quotation is from the opening stanza of Part Two, one of two stanzas that describe the bower Corydon has labored to rear:
My banks they are furnish'd with bees,Whose murmur invites one to sleep;My grottoes are shaded with trees,And my hills are white-over with sheep.I seldom have met with a loss,Such health do my fountains bestow;My fountains all border'd with moss,Where the hare-bells and violets grow.Not a pine in my grove is there seen,But with tendrils of woodbine is bound:Not a beech's more beautiful green,But a sweet-briar entwines it around.Not my fields in the prime of the year,More charms than my cattle unfold:Not a brook that is limpid and clear,But it glitters with fishes of gold.

Dubai Basic Information
Here's a Dubai factoid. There's no man drought in this desert - Dubai has two-thirds more men than women. Heading to Dubai on holiday? Here's some more things you'll need to know before you go.
Visa Requirements
Australians going to or through the United Arab Emirates on holiday are required to obtain a visa before travelling. Make sure your passport has at least 6 months' validity from your planned date of return to Australia. Please be aware that this information is only a guideline. For up-to-the-minute visa information, contact your local Embassy or Consulate-General of the United Arab Emirates.
The currency of Dubai is the UAE Dirham. The exchange rate between the Australian Dollar and UAE Dirham fluctuates constantly, so it's a good idea to monitor the rate before purchasing cash. For safe spending while overseas, consider using a credit or debit card.
You'd be hard pressed to find authentic Emirati cuisine represented in restaurants, but with international influences from Europe, Asia and beyond, you're sure to dine well whatever your preference. Popular choices include Indian and Pakistani restaurants as well as Middle Eastern cuisines such as Lebanese, Arabic and Syrian. Shawarma, meat and salad filled pitas, and vegetarian falafel are cheap and cheerful street foods found on most corners, while international restaurants from Michelin-starred chefs right down to Western fast food chains are also well represented. Dubai hasn't escaped the global cupcake craze either with a variety of venues for sweet tooths.
Dubai is renowned for being the most liberal of the emirates with an after-hours scene ranging from exclusive supper clubs to themed pubs and from massive multi-level nightspots to intimate cocktail lounges. The great weather conditions make alfresco venues, poolside bars and panoramic spots the ideal places to take in the 360-degree views and enjoy balmy nights. Music also varies from top international DJs and club nights to live music and karaoke depending on your preferred genre. While most nightspots have a dress-to-impress code, the actual clothing standards in clubs are more relaxed than public areas, allowing shorter dresses and shoulder-baring styles for women.

May 3, 2013, Victoria, BC (ISN) – The fourth season of The Q's Victoria Run Series will take place Saturday, May 11th at the Jack Wallace Memorial Track at Oak Bay High School (behind Recreation Oak Bay).
This is the first of four meets that take place every-other-week. May 11th will feature three distances for all abilities, 800, 1500m and 5000m. The first race will begin at 6:30 PM sharp – deadline for check-in and registration is 6:00 PM May 11th. All races are subject to being capped to 16 participants, early registration is recommended.
The 5000m competitive race will feature several top age-group athletes from around Greater Victoria as well as former University of Victoria Vike captain Clifford Childs. Childs will be seeking the World University Championships (FISU) qualifying time, which is 14:00 for men and 16:00 for women.
The Q's Victoria Run Series was previously named The Q's Victoria Track Series and previously encompassed only track meets. The new, revamped series will include two cross-country meets in the late summer and at least one road race on Saturday, July 6 at Pacific Institute of Sport Excellence (PISE). "I am also working on two more potential events, one on the road in mid-September as well as another track meet in late August," said series director Christopher Kelsall.
Two of the track meets will be at Oak Bay and two at the University of Victoria's Centennial Stadium. Proceeds from the series support the Mustard Seed Food Bank. Each race is captured on video; all results and all other information to do with the series are available at the website: www.victoriarunseries.ca. Spectators may provide non-perishable food donations to the Mustard Seed, who will be on hand volunteering at all events.
The title sponsor, 100.3 the Q! are into their fourth year of supporting the series and will also be on hand for most events. Chris Loran from the Q! said, "we are excited about another fun year of track and looking forward to the first meet on May 11th at Oak Bay High School."

Alumna entrepreneur Sarah (De Laveaga '14) Ellefson returned to campus in the waning days of the fall semester to deliver what she billed as "the talk I wish I heard" while still in school — "Five Tips for Starting a Creative Business after College."
Sarah (De Laveaga '14) EllefsonA successful wedding, family, and travel photographer based in Santa Barbara, Mrs. Ellefson discussed how students can begin preparing now — even amidst their studies — to launch their own businesses post-graduation. Her tips included finding a mentor, learning about the market, developing a brand, and pursuing summer internships. Moreover, many of the skills required to become a successful business owner, she observed, can be developed as a student. "If you can set up good habits and discipline now," she advised, "when you start your own business and you have a huge task list of things to run down, you're going to know how to manage your time."
Although encouraging, Mrs. Ellefson's comments were also prudent, warning students that creating a business demands hard work, a significant investment of time and resources, and — more often than not — a day job to cover the bills until the business is self-sufficient. "I think if you're a student here, you're not used to things being easy, so I don't expect you to be intimidated by this," she said. "I want you to get excited about it and know that the hard work and diligence you're putting in here can also transfer into starting your own business."
A liberal education, she added, is especially valuable for entrepreneurs. "You are learning the art of critical thinking," said Mrs. Ellefson. "That's something that a lot of people who start a business don't have, and then they fail and they can't figure out why, because they were never taught how to think critically and analyze thoughts and ideas. So this time here, your education here, is very worthwhile."

Moving and Housing Expenditure: Transaction Costs and Disequilibrium
NBER Working Paper No. 1012 (Also Reprint No. r0562)
The paper emphasizes initially the effects of moving transaction costs on the potential effect of government rent subsidy programs. As a concomitant to this analysis, the paper reaffirms the low income elasticities of housing expenditure among low-income renters found by others. Moving transaction costs are high on average among renters in our sample but vary widely between geographic regions and evidently vary a great deal among families as well. By our measure, transaction costs reflect monetary and especially non-monetary gains and losses associated with moving. Moving transaction costs in conjunction with low income elasticities make government lump-sum transfers very ineffective in increasing housing expenditure among low-incomerenters.A dollar of unconstrained transfer payment would increase housing expenditure by only 2 to 7 cents in the two cities in our data set. Minimum rent plans, that make the transfer payment conditional on spending at leasta minimum amount on rent, have larger effects on average than unconstrained transfers. Typical programs might increase rent by 10 to 30 cents per dollar of transfer payment. But families who spend the least on rent a real so those least likely to benefit from the minimum rent programs. To obtain payments under these plans, families who would otherwise spend less than the minimum must surmount the transaction costs associated with moving and must also reallocate income to favor housing in proportions that may be far from their preferred allocations. Thus only a small proportion of families with initial market rents below the minimum will ultimately participate in the programs. And of the total payments to these families, 15 to 32 percent is dead weight loss, according to our estimates. In addition, we find that because moving transaction costs and income elasticities vary widely among regions, the effects of any given government program are also likely to vary greatly from one region to the other.As a fortuitous benefit of the housing allowance demand experiment data that we used, we were also able to check our model results against experimental results. The model predictions and the experimental results correspond quite closely. The differences that are found can apparently be explained in large part by the impact of self-selection on the estimated experimental treatment effects. The self-determination of enrollment and the attrition inherent in the estimated experimental effects seriously detract from the potential benefits of experimental randomization. Therefore our model estimates may be more reliable than the experimental ones in this instance. Of course this judgment depends in large part on the experiment having been done so that we could check our model predictions against the experimental outcomes.

Dentals and Fricatives
she has learned to speak again
or so i was told
lips moving in clouded atrophy
around dentals and fricatives
her heart winding its alarm clock
pausing just half past the hour
to take stock
of the drooling conglomerate
which once housed a reed
joy across octaves
her voice, a magnet
physical therapy at half past
she dreads pitying looks
charted notes
and though she sputters words as directed
she can also chant them
her under-exercised voice clear
on A flat
"F___ you--there's a fricative for you"
© 2016 Audrey Howitt
I think THAT clearly says it all. Excellent.
Most emotional poetry. It is a journey that is so difficult. Makes me think of my mom. As much as I miss her I know she is happier being with my dad. Toward the end of her life I was asked so many difficult questions such as - Where was I born? Where is my younger sister? This from my mom who once of course knew where I was born and that I was an only child.
Touched my heart, powerful filled with emotion.
Loved it. All too familiar with it with some of the people in my life. sometimes I look at them and see little semblance, caricatures even of the people they once were. And of course I wonder if that's the way I'm headed too.
I meant "Embracing My Inner Crone" not "Accepting." Just one of those senior moments. I'm glad to see you found the poem anyway.
It's true age robs us of so much, but it gives us new talents as well. If you get a chance, take a look at my poem "Accepting My Inner Crone." It is posted here on HubPages. It's light poetry, meant to be funny.
Loved it Audrey.. Loved It!!!!
My interpretation - the awful truth about dementia. My younger sister has dementia. Sadly it has stolen our relationship. My heart aches for the sister I once knew. Your poem is full of empathy and understanding...I wish I had more of both.
This is powerful and very sad, Audrey. I hope this isn't the case, but it sounds like you're talking about someone that you know. Though the situation was a little different, your poem reminds me about the problems faced by someone that I knew in my past. Thank you for sharing the very effective poem.

Island "Hopscotch" Passes
If you want the freedom to hop around a bit from mainland to island and from island to the peninsulas west of Glasgow, then it may be worth buying an "Island Hopscotch" ticket from the ferry operator Caledonian MacBrayne (tel. 0870/565-0000; www.calmac.co.uk). For example, you can hop from Wymess Bay to the Isle of Bute, from there to Cowal peninsula, and then onward to Kintyre peninsula. In summer, the cost for that excursion is around £9 per passenger and £40 for a car. Call tel.0870/565-0000.
Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

The Issue
An offender was being released from prison and my team had concerns that the offender would try to make contact with the victim, potentially affecting their safety.
The Approach
A PCSO made a note on E-CINS that the offender was due to be leaving prison within the next few days. We would not normally be privy to that information but because it was flagged on the Victim's profile we were able to quickly contact the victim and hold a face to face meeting to assess the level of risk to them.
The Result
We contacted the victim and moved them to a place of safety within 24 hours and before the offender was released from prison.

I am trying to model fluid flow through 2 different rock types - a sandstone and a basalt and need to set up a gridded domain to show the spatial variation of the 2 rock types. For large grids I prefer to set them up in Microsoft Excel in order to make use of their simple copy&paste tools. So I have set up the grids for each mineral in Excel and then saved them as text files. However, when I try to import them into X2t using the Table option in "Reactants" it doesn't work. I've tried saving the files as both Tab Delimited Text and Unicode Text but neither works. Does X2t require the tables is a specific format in order to import them correctly. If so can somebody tell me what the format is? Otherwise can somebody tell me the best way to import a table into X2t? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Matthew Whiting1
1CSIRO, Epping, Australia
Radio astronomy is experiencing a rapid increase in the computing requirements for data processing, driven by new technologies allowing wide fields of view and large frequency bandwidths. CSIRO's Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope, located in the radio-quiet Murchison Radio Observatory in the mid-west of Western Australia, exemplifies this trend. It is characterised by the revolutionary Phased Array Feed (PAF) receivers, designed & built at CSIRO, that allow multiple beams to be formed on the sky, resulting in a wide instantaneous sky coverage. This also results, however, in very large data rates, or up to 10TB/hour, requiring high-performance computing to create the images and catalogues used by astronomers. ASKAP has been operating for several years now in its early array form, successfully using the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre to run the processing pipelines and store the resulting data products for scientific use. ASKAP is in the process of being expanded out to its full capabilities, and there are numerous challenges involved in ensuring the processing is able to meet both operational and scientific requirements.
Even ASKAP's large data rates will be dwarfed by those expected from the Square Kilometre Array. This is a global project, involving telescopes in South Africa and Western Australia, that is soon to begin construction and will gradually come online over the next decade. SKA processing will have an even greater reliance on high-performance processing, and will required a tiered approach to the data analysis, with some science-oriented processing being performed by science teams through so-called SKA Regional Science Centres.
In this workshop, we will aim to discuss some of the challenges presented by the current instruments, for both processing and archiving of data, based on practical experience at the Pawsey Centre and planned upgrades to the telescope in the short-to-medium term. We will also cover plans for SKA processing, both for the immediate online processing and for the analysis of data through Regional Centres. We will look at the likely roadmap for high-performance computing over this time-period, and what this means for processing capabilities.
The workshop will be a mix of presentations and discussion sessions, and input is welcome from outside the astronomical community as well.
Matthew Whiting is acting Group Leader for ATNF Science, part of CSIRO Astronomy & Space Science, leading a group responsible for research and science operations within the Australia Telescope National Facility. He has a PhD in astrophysics from University of Melbourne, and a career of working in astronomy and astronomical computing. Matthew leads the development of the processing pipelines for CSIRO's ASKAP telescope and is a member of the small software team responsible for the high-performance calibration & imaging software for ASKAP.
He is also the sole developer of the widely-used Duchamp source-finding software, designed for 3D astronomical spectral-line surveys. He works closely with the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre and is a member of Astronomy Australia Limited's Astronomy e-Research Advisory Committee.

This recipe can be adapted easily if you do not have this machine into muffin tins or a small cast iron pan in the oven.
Begin by plugging in your Breville Personal Pie Maker and letting it preheat really well. While it is heating up, cut your tortillas.
After your tortillas are cut, cook your sausage according to the package directions.
You can use any kind of breakfast sausage for this. The links, or plan ground sausage would work just as well as these patties did. These patties just happened to be on sale.
Remove the sausage from the pan and add some diced up mushrooms. I used two medium sized white mushrooms for this.
Once the mushrooms are browned, scoot them over to the side of the pan and toss in a handfull of spinach. I chopped mine up a bit first. You don't have to. Tearing it up, or just throwing it in whole would work just as well.
Stir that around until the spinach is wilted, give the mushrooms and spinach a shake of salt and pepper, and then remove to a bowl.
Chop up the sausage and mix it in with the other ingredients.
Take 3 eggs, 3 Tablespoons of milk, and 1/4 tsp salt and whisk together well until they are fully incorporated together.
Briefly microwave the tortillas for 20-30 seconds to warm and soften so they do not tear when you press them into the pan. Using the tool that came with your pie maker, press the tortillas into the machine, add a heaping tablespoon of the filling mixture, and then fill with the egg mixture. Sprinkle the tops with cheddar cheese.
If you want, you can put a top "crust" on with a top tortilla, you can do a fancy little lattice as you will see pictured below, or you can just leave them open faced.
Bake for approximately 7-10 minutes, or until the eggs are set. If the edges start to get overcooked, prop open the lid using the tool provided for the last few minutes, as pictured below.
Carefully remove when finished either using the option removal tool, which I do not have, or by using a fork to gently lift the edge, and then scooping it out with a large flat bottomed utensil.
Mini Quiche
These mini quiche are made in a mini-pie maker and are a wonderful breakfast option!
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 4 patties breakfast sausage
- 2-3 medium sized mushrooms, chopped
- 1 handfull fresh spinach
- 3 eggs
- 3 TBSP milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup cheddar cheese
- Plug in pie maker. Cut tortillas using the tool provided. Set aside.
- Fry sausage according to package directions. Remove from pan and add mushrooms. Cook over medium heat until browned, scoot to the side of the pan, and add spinach. Cook, stirring frequently, until wilted. Lightly salt and pepper the vegetables. Remove from pan. Chop the sausage up and mix in with the spinach/mushroom mixture.
- Mix three eggs with milk and salt well.
- Microwave tortillas for 20-30 seconds to soften. Press tortillas into pie maker using tool provided. Add a heaping tablespoon of filling, and fill remaining room with egg mixture. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese, and if desired top with top tortilla.
- Close lid and cook 7-10 minutes. Check mid-way through. If the edges are getting overly browned, prop open lid for remaining time. Cook until centers are set.

- If you misjudge the doneness of the completely encased quiche as I did, and when you cut into it, you find its a bit runny, nuking it for 30 seconds solves the problem. I would suggest cooking the encased quiches a little longer than the open or partially open ones.
- This made a little bit extra of each of the ingredients for me. I fried it up in the frying pan I used to cook the other ingredients and ate that while I waited for the others to bake! Yum!

While the Tin Man is a memorable literary character, he isn't the most aspirational figure when it comes to joint health. But if you constantly feel like you are having to "oil" your shoulder pain while suffering through stiffness you may find more similarities with Dorothy's metal mate than you would prefer.
The fundamental problem with an arthritic shoulder joint is that it does not have the normal cartilage that provides cushioning and lubrication to a joint. While we cannot regenerate cartilage, we have a variety of medical treatments ranging from anti-inflammatory pain relievers to biologic treatments, each with different roles.
Shoulder Treatment Options
You will have several options, including shoulder replacement surgery, to help you ease on down the road with less pain and more flexibility. To help you understand these options, we talked to one of the expert orthopedic surgeons at Southwest Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in St. George (our own orthopedic wizard if you will):
So you have shoulder pain, what next? What happens first?
Dr. Leitze says: "It is wise to start with a clear and correct diagnosis. One of the keys to treating any Medical problem is application of the right treatment to the right problem."
How will my doctor understand and diagnose my unique shoulder pain?
Dr. Leitze says: "For a musculoskeletal problem, diagnosis is rooted in a careful history and a proper exam from a physician that deals with these problems. An x-ray can be helpful when evaluating the shoulder and can often clarify if it's arthritic or not. There are lots of factors that can lead to joint pain in the shoulder. Outside of arthritic conditions, there are conditions related to the soft tissues, like bursitis, tendonitis, rotator cuff tear, labral tear, and biceps tendinopathy. As each of those may have a different treatment; diagnosis is key."
What is a rotator cuff?
Dr. Leitze says: "Our shoulders have a layered structure of muscle. The outer shoulder muscle is the deltoid. That's the largest one you see right under the skin. Underneath that deltoid muscle is a layer of four smaller muscles. They make a cuff of tissue that surrounds the shoulder joint. And the job of those four individual muscles is to help rotate and stabilize the shoulder. That's where that term 'rotator cuff' comes from."
A rotator cuff tear can come in two different forms.
- Partial tear: A partial tear is similar to the worn knee of your favorite pair of jeans. While your knee may not be fully exposed, over time the fabric gets thinner, the threads get sparser, and your jeans barely hold together. This is similar to how the tendons around your shoulder wear down, providing less and less support to the joint.
- Full tear: If you bought a pair of jeans with holes showing your entire kneecap, this would be like a full tear. The tendon is no longer covering the ball joint of the shoulder or supporting movement.
What should I try first to relieve shoulder pain?
While the Tin Man only had one road to skip down to get to his destination, each individual suffering from shoulder pain may have a different treatment journey. But the first treatments commonly recommended for shoulder pain include anti-inflammatory pain medications and physical therapy.
Dr. Leitze says: "Many patients try the over-the-counter anti-inflammatory treatments that most all of us are familiar with. Advil, Ibuprofen, Aleve, and others can be helpful in the early stages of arthritic or other inflammatory conditions. Often patients have started these before I see them because most everyone can access these treatments.
From there I suggest physical therapy. Home-directed exercises or formal physical therapy are an important part of looking after an arthritic or painful joint. For the shoulder, stiffness is a big impact of arthritis or cuff disease. Our shoulders have an amazing range of motion when they're healthy and normal. Because of that motion, maintaining function in a painful joint with a routine stretching program is very helpful. If we can medicate the shoulder to reduce pain, then strength work is also useful."
What are other treatment options for shoulder pain?
If pain intensifies or returns following one course of treatment, your care team will continue to try different methods to make you comfortable. If anti-inflammatory medications stop easing the pain, the next option to consider is steroid injections or shots. Cortisone or other injections like hyaluronic acid can relieve pain for several weeks or months.
Dr. Leitze says: "If pain becomes more intense, many patients will come see us for a time-honored, well-studied, and effective anti-inflammatory treatment: corticosteroid injection, sometimes called a cortisone shot. These are temporary measures to take away pain and inflammation. Many times these injections can reduce pain and inflammation that allow a patient to participate in other parts of non-surgical treatment for joint pain, like therapy activities. Recently, awareness of Platelet Rich Plasma and Stem Cell injections has grown. These treatments are in the experimental phases, so stay tuned."
When should I consider shoulder joint replacement surgery?
Dr. Leitze says: "The primary reason to consider joint replacement (or most surgery) is pain that is 1) otherwise untreatable with medical or therapy methods and/or 2) a significant interference with activities of normal life, and you are capable of the rehab and recovery to get the benefit. If you have pain when you hold the phone to your ear, get the laundry out of the dryer, or swing a golf club, we can help with that. If you have trouble sleeping because of throbbing pain when you change positions, or have a dull ache that wears you down let us help. When your normal daily life is impacted, it's time to look at your options. Surgical timing boils down to limitations that are unable to be managed with conservative non-surgical treatment."
What happens during shoulder replacement surgery?
Metal is the new black, at least that is what the Tin Man told us. During shoulder replacement surgery, a surgeon replaces the damaged shoulder joint with an artificial joint, usually made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. There are a few different types of shoulder replacement surgery, depending on the condition of the shoulder and the rotator cuff (the tendons and ligaments surrounding the shoulder joint).
- Traditional anatomic replacement: If the rotator cuff is in good shape, then you may just need to replace the joint or place a cap on it to compensate for missing cartilage.
- Reverse shoulder replacement: A reverse shoulder replacement switches the placement of the ball and socket. This approach stabilizes the shoulder, making it ideal for those with a damaged rotator cuff.
Dr. Leitze says: "Having a joint replacement surgery is a very individualized treatment. After the x-rays, physical therapy, or the physical exam, many patients realize that they don't need a joint replacement. It really comes down to this: when your pain and disability is such that it outweighs the emotional hurdle, concern about risk, and recovery that comes along with surgery, that's when patients decide to have surgery for their shoulder.
That said, when we use the term 'shoulder replacement,' it conjures up all sorts of thoughts and images. A better term for patients would be to describe it as a shoulder resurfacing. The surgery covers the shoulder socket with a material to substitute for the lost cartilage and removes a small portion of the shoulder ball to be replaced with a metal substitute. These new surfaces then become the weight-bearing substitute for the lost cartilage. This is how a shoulder replacement achieves the necessary pain relief."

While finding a solution to your shoulder pain may not be as instant as clicking your heels a few times, experts like Dr. Leitze at Southwest Orthopedics and other Intermountain orthopedic surgeons can help you find your own road to a pain-free life.
And don't worry, we will leave the singing and dancing to the Tin Man.

darn thing
okay, now that i look @ this picture, i wish i had adjusted the ribbons before clicking! oops. anyway, this is the "french" bulletin board i made ruth today (is it really french, or is that just what they call it?). ruth & i agreed that her hospital room needed a little spicing up, since she'll be there for awhile & being the craft genius that i am (typing this with extreme sarcasm), i thought - oh, i can make her one of those fun bulletin boards - no problem... famous last words!
it was a fun process, none the less involving even toxic fume spray glue stuff (reminiscent of the day jen & i tried to spraycan paint our refrigerator indoors & ended up high & with black paint up our noses - remember, jen??!) & clint going on scavenger hunts in the garage looking for something to make those darn tacks stick in. in the end, he got to use his saw (we had to cut some wood), so he was happy :)
i'm happy, too w/ the end product - black, white, & yellow like that pbkids room we liked, huh ruth? i just hope it's not too ghetto & actually stays on the wall...

Proper diagnosis of a disease is only possible when the standard procedure is correctly followed using the right tools. The same thing applies in the case of COVID-19.
Viral Transport Kits Get a Quote Now
When this infection was in its early stages and had just started spreading like fire, people began to panic a lot as they were clueless about this novel disease. They didn't know about how to proceed with the testing, what samples should be tested, what are required for detecting the pathogen and many more question that needed an answer.
So to pacify the situation, CDC came up with a guideline that could help the health workers in collecting the suspected samples without getting themselves infected by the virus.
In the guidelines, the CDC recommends collecting and testing an upper respiratory nasopharyngeal swab(NP), for the initial diagnosis of COVID-19. The next priority is given to the oropharyngeal swabs and if collected, they should be combined in the same tube as the NP. All the swab specimens are advised to be collected as soon as possible once a PUI (Person under investigation) is identified, regardless of the time of symptom onset. The CDC has also mentioned testing the lower respiratory tract specimen, if available.
It becomes very essential to know the right swab to use.
The CDC has also answered similar queries like this and clearly mentioned the specific type of swab that must be used when testing for COVID-19. As outlined in the guidelines, health workers should only use synthetic fiber swabs with plastic shafts, like the TM MEDIA TMC 034. The CDC has advised to avoid calcium alginate swabs or swab with wooden shafts. The reason is that these may contain some substances which can inactivate some viruses and inhibit the PCR testing.

According to the CDC Interim guidelines for Collecting, Handling, and Testing Clinical specimens for COVID-19, it is instructed to place the swabs after collection, immediately into sterile tubes containing 3ml of Viral Transport Media. It is important to place the swab individually in separate vials to avoid possible rejection of the specimen.
• Collecting Nasopharyngeal Sample
• Collecting Oropharyngeal Sample
TM MEDIA provides a complete kit for testing COVID-19 specimens, that includes the Universal Transport Medium and Nasopharyngeal/Oropharyngeal swabs. All the kits are customized in a way to make them compatible with the CDC recommended configurations.

Desert winters can be rough on heaters, especially at night. You'd be surprised how hard your heater has worked this past winter. At Tippetts Mechanical, we are familiar with heaters and the strain that the Las Vegas climate puts on them. We also know what it takes to settle them in for the heat of summer.
Our goal is to ensure that your heater is good to go when the cold weather comes back. Not many people think to get their heater serviced in the spring – they just shut it off and hope it's okay when they fire it back up. Don't be like these people and miss the opportunity to access technicians when your system is shut down and ready to handle the maintenance it needs.
Today, we are going to discuss what you can expect when your heater gets spring maintenance.
- The motor and fans will be cleaned, because when dirt builds up, it breaks components down. Getting them cleaned will ensure the system can function at its highest efficiency in the future.
The ductwork should be cleaned out and tested for leaks. You will experience an immediate improvement in the air quality of your home or business. Even better, you will save money as air gets where it needs to go rather than being leaked into the atmosphere.
At Tippetts Mechanical, we are on a mission to keep the people of Las Vegas comfortable no matter the season. Contact us today to schedule maintenance with a courteous, knowledgeable technician!
