The Thames Valley Classic Cars Club
The club originally started when a group of Austin A7 enthusiasts formed the Austin A7 Club. In late 2017, the Austin A7 club rebranded to The Thames Valley Classic Car Club and welcome all Classic Cars and their owners to join the club.
History of The Austin A7
Herbert Austin was born on 8th November 1866 in Little Missenden (in the Thames Valley Area), but soon after his birth, the family moved to the north of England. After working for Frederick Wolseley in Australia, Herbert returned to England to supervise Wolseley's manufacture of sheep shearing machinery in Birmingham.
During his time with Wolseley, Austin built his first three-wheel experimental car in 1895. The prototype of his second car was exhibited in 1896 at the Crystal Palace Exhibition. Under Austin's stewardship Wolseley Cars were taken to world renown. It was unsurprising therefore that in 1905 Austin left Wolseley and started his own business. This was on a derelict site seven miles from Birmingham at Longbridge - a name we all recognise now. Austin ultimately became part of British Leyland and, in more modern times, other significant cars were also manufactured at Longbridge including Rover and MG.
Little Missenden Church
By 1908 Austin employed more than 1,000 workers and the plant produced in excess of 1,000 cars per year. World War I saw the company manufacturing munitions, military vehicles and even aircraft. In 1917, 22,000 people were employed at the factory. At the end of the war, the factory returned to producing cars - concentrating on the large 20hp and 30hp models. This focus on producing large cars aimed at the upper and middle classes left the company in a poor financial state. Herbert Austin saw the solution to the financial problems; he wanted to bring motoring to the masses by producing a small, lower priced car - a direction which the board at Austin, now a public company, did not support.
Austin, working with a brilliant young draughtsman by the name of Stanley Edge, decided to go ahead with work on the design of a small new 7hp family car and financed the project himself. Famously, it is said that the design of the Austin 7 was developed in the Billard Room at Lickey Grange House, Bromsgrove - Austin's private house. Only by ultimately threatening to take the design to Wolseley did Austin get the support of the Austin Company's board to bring the Austin 7 into production. Austin's investment in the '7' was paid for by him receiving a royalty of two guineas (£2.10) for each car sold.
Three Chummys
July 1922 saw the unveiling of the Austin 7 and it quickly became known as the 'Chummy'. The '7' was considerably smaller than the Ford Model T. It was also lighter - less than half the Ford's weight at 794lb (360kg). Early cars did not have any shock absorbers. Brakes were on all wheels, but at first the front brakes were operated by the handbrake and the rear by the footbrake, becoming fully coupled in 1930. 178 cars were produced in 1922, increasing to nearly 2,500 cars the following year - not as many as hoped, but within a few years the "big car in miniature" had wiped out the cyclecar industry and transformed the fortunes of the Austin Motor Co.
Subsequent famous Austin 7 models included the 'Top Hat' and the 'Ruby' plus a wide range of sports models, open tourers and vans.
The peak production year was 1935 when 27,255 were built. Production ceased in 1939 by which time 290,944 Austin 7s had been produced.
Our good old Austin 7s havesome interesting links to other notable cars of the 20th Century:
In 1927 Sir Willima Lyons, co-founder of the Swallow Sidecar Company, produced a distinctive re-bodied Austin 7 open tourer - the Austin Seven Swallow which was followed by a saloon version. Around 3,500 such cars were produced under the SS brand - this forming the basis of what became Jaguar.
Licensed production was undertaken overseas. Versions of the 7 were made under licence from 1930 by American Austin (Bantam), from 1927 as Dixi's in Germany (ultimately bought by BMW) and from 1928 in France by Rosengart.
In addition, chassis and running gear were exported to Japan and Australia to have locally made bodies attached. At Beaulieu there is a great example of a Datsun that many mistake for an Austin 7. Recently a friend of David Coulton's has had an Australian Hudson to restore and the only way you can spot that it's not a UK7 is that the metal is much heavier in that it has a steel body.
The original Reliant three-wheelers had Austin 7 engines and several kit cars and specials were produced based around the '7' with perhaps the most notable being Lotus.
Austin 7s have undertaken some great journeys too. in 1959 John Coleman drove his 1925 Chummy from Buenos Aries to New York - an incredible journey made against all the odds and to have done it says a lot for the 7. The car is still being driven about today, albeit we sadly lost John in 2010 at the age of 81.
Other great journeys have seen small groups of 7s driven from Beijing to Paris, twice traversing South America across the Andes and another run following Route 66 across the USA from coast to coast. The 'Joggle' from John O'Groats to Lands End takes place regularly and attracts great numbers.
In 2012 we had the London (starting near Epsom) to Brighton Run on 1st April with around 200 Austin 7s taking part. Thames Valley members will be amongst a large group of 7s embarking on the Euro Tour, ultimately ending up at Interlaken. There are many other Road Runs and Rallys taking place in 2012 to celebrate the 7's 90th anniversary and you will no doubt see many cars out and about. Several remain undiscovered or are undergoing restoration and we all look forward to seeing these on the road.

Simpsons fun
Thursday, January 10, 2019
So, I'm working my way through all of the Simpson's episodes on Fox Now. It's been fun. I love the animation in the old shows. You know, when they were still hand drawn. I think it looked better than it does now. They had more personality. Oh well, I still enjoy the current shows. I mean, I've only watched the show since it was a short on the Tracy Ullman show.
Today's walk was even colder than yesterday. At least it wasn't windy like yesterday. I don't think I could have taken that! I just checked the weather for tomorrow and it's supposed to be pretty much what it was today. I'll bundle up again and I'll be okay.

text: February 20, 2015 | WEBBIZ If you are just joining us – welcome! We are glad you here and hope this is helpful during your Lenten season. If you miss the first 2 reflections, you can find them at the bottom of this page.TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE:MATTHEW 19:26Jesus looked at them and said, "For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible."What a beautiful verse reminding us of the omnipotent, omnipresent, everliving God. For me at times it is hard to grasp the concept of omnipotent (all powerful). As humans with finite minds, it is impossible to fully grasp. But it is not an illogical concept. All things HAVE to be possible with God. As science continually confirms each year, the universe has a beginning. In order to have a beginning you have to have someone or something (God) start the beginning. There has to be someone to push the first domino for all the dominos to start falling. There has a to be a "Big Banger" in the Big Bang. This is God. God, the Creator of all the universe, the One who knew you completely before you were born, the One who formed you in the womb and counted every hair on your head, the One who loves you so much that He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to suffer and die for our sins so that we may have eternal life with Him. Nothing is impossible for Him.Many of us, myself included, tend to carry and hold on to certain heavy parts of our lives. We love to give God parts of our life but it is tough to give God all of our life. Few people conquer this feat. They call those people saints. Today let's be challenged to give God every part of our being. Give Him that part of your life that you have been holding on to. Let Him carry the weight… For all is possible with God – He can handle it. He wants it and begs us to give it to Him so that He may purify us and bring us closer to Him. If it is the stress of your job – stop as soon as possible and say a prayer to let Him in and to give you guidance. If it is your marriage – give it to Him and pray with your spouse. If it is a problem with a family member – give Him the problem and ask Him to help resolve it. If it is your health – offer up your suffering and join it to the suffering of the Cross. It will not go wasted. If it is an addiction – ask the Lord to help you break free of those chains not just today but every day. Ask for the grace – He will give it. If it is finances – Ask the Lord to give you peace and comfort in this trying time. Ask for the wisdom of how to move forward. He will not abandon you. Whatever it is in your life that is troubling you, today right this moment, give it to God and feel the weight of the burden come off your shoulders. For all, not some, things are possible for God.God love you!IDEAS TO HELP YOU MEMORIZE BIBLE VERSES EACH DAY:ASK FOR THE GRACE TO REMEMBER THE VERSE THROUGHOUT THE DAY.ASK YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL TO HELP YOU REMEMBER THE BIBLE VERSE THROUGHOUT THE DAYBEFORE UNLOCKING YOUR PHONE OR SENDING A TEXT MESSAGE, EACH TIME REPEAT THE BIBLE VERSE.BEFORE SENDING AN EMAIL OUT, REPEAT THE BIBLE VERSE.WHILE BRUSHING YOUR TEETH IN THE MORNING AND AT NIGHT, REPEAT THE BIBLE VERSE.EACH TIME YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, BEFORE YOU START IT, REPEAT THE BIBLE VERSE.BEFORE PRAYER BEFORE MEALS WITH YOUR FAMILY, REPEAT THE BIBLE VERSE.SEND THE BIBLE VERSE TO YOUR SPOUSE, KIDS, OR FAMILY THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS A REMINDER.START EACH PRAYER THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH THE BIBLE VERSE.EACH TIME YOU WALK THROUGH A DOORWAY, REPEAT THE BIBLE VERSE.

Virago Modern Classic Book Club: The Sleeping Beauty by Elizabeth Taylor
Virago Modern Classics Book Club
August 2019
The Sleeping Beauty
by Elizabeth Taylor
Our book of the month this August is The Sleeping Beauty by Elizabeth Taylor.
Elizabeth Taylor was an English novelist and short-story writer, whom Antonia Fraser called 'one of the most underrated writers of the 20th century'. The Sleeping Beauty, her sixth novel, is a subtle love story about a quiet, sensible man named Vinny Tumulty. In this novel Taylor took the structure of the classic fairy tale and placed it into the story of an English seaside town.
'People are different in different places,' he thought hazily. 'And if they're all right in one place, it's best to leave them there.'
Will you be reading along this August? Let us know using #VMCBookClub on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
The Sleeping Beauty
by Elizabeth Taylor
'Elizabeth Taylor is finally being recognised as an important British author: an author of great subtlety, great compassion and great depth. As a reader, I have found huge pleasure in returning to Taylor's novels and short stories many times over. As a writer I've returned to her too - in awe of her achievements, and trying to work out how she does it' SARAH WATERS
Vinny Tumulty is a quiet, sensible man. When he goes to stay at a seaside town, his task is to comfort Isabella, a bereaved friend, and and he is prepared for a solemn few days of tears and consolation. But on the evening of his arrival, he looks out of the window at the sunset and catches sight of a beautiful woman walking by the seashore. Before the week is over Vinny has fallen in love, completely and utterly, for the first time in his middle-aged life. Emily, though, is a sleeping beauty, her secluded life hiding bitter secrets from the past.

Leon Roulette
Leon Roulette, as a child, always had a love for the great outdoors and became interested in painting at a very early age. These two elements combined to give rise to the extraordinary and vibrant artist that he is today. His work is reminiscent of the romantic landscape painters of the 18th and 18th Century. Leon attains mystic intimacy with the subjects of his paintings, whether it be a remote windswept mountain range in Alaska, the picturesque Spanish Missions of California, a panorama of the French or Italian Rivera, or the baroque and roccoco style architecture of Venice. Roulette's translation of these vistas onto canvas gives the viewer a visual feast of the beauty and wonder that is nature. Born December 11, 1959, and raised in Southern California, Leon began studying are as a child through private instruction and obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in fine art at California State University of Long Beach. His studies included historical and classical fine art as well as the theory of architecture and design. Early in his career he spent a number of years as an art instructor in Southern California

Last time, my first post about the new Disney minifigures was about relatively new Disney characters. Now it's time to look at older characters. In particular, the ones from my childhood.
One of my favorite Disney movies, if not my all-time favorite, is Aladdin. Mostly because of its villain who fascinated me during my childhood.
Upon the release of the first Disney series, my disappointment was strong to see Aladdin and Genie, but no Jafar. I had no hope to see him as part of a second wave. Yet it happened. (Most likely thanks to the live-action adaptation to be released in a few weeks.)

(No shout-outs at rap concerts for him please)
The disease of hip-hop at nighttime got another negro shot this week.
The newest victim was famous this time and happened to Eminem's weed-carrier, Proof, of D-12 fame.
The knee-jerk "R.I.P. fallen soldier" amongst other bullshit hip-hop tributes had already started when the evidence came out showing that he fired first and was shot as a result of his own ignorance.
From the article,
- Proof pistol-whipped Bender, a former Army staff sergeant, after a heated argument over a pool match,before firing.
This Guy, Bender, was discharged from the Army due to a heart condition and decided to celebrate his freedom from the defibrillator at a Detroit nightclub.
Who doesn't celebrate the relief from their medical conditions at Detroit nightclubs?
"Any cancer patients in the house?!"
"If ya got both kidneys, put 2 fingas in the air!"
I hear it all the time.
The man's cousin, who has turned himself in, then proceeded to light Proof's shit up.
Peep the dumb nigger quote from Snoop Dogg at the MTV Australia Music Awards,
- "He was a part of the hip-hop family. We can't stop [the violence...but we can] try to be as positive as we can and do good things with our lives. I just know that every time somebody gets killed in hip-hop, we should look at it as a tragedy. There's nothing we can do to stop it as hip-hop artists, but be who we are and continue to make our good music."
Instead of gun-butting and shooting someone over an argument involving a pool game, you can maybe try not to act like a stereotypical irascible rapper and realize that if you pull out your gun another person will probably pull out their gun.
Maybe he could have thought of his kids before he decided to act out "Gimme the Loot."
Why is a 32 year-old man with 5 children at an afterhours nightclub in Detroit pistol whipping people?
Clubs close at 2 AM in Detroit and the shit went down at 4:30. Nothing good happens at after-hours spots.
And to add a drop of irony to the situation, Eminem's 2004 video "Toy Soldiers" about ending rap beefs, showed Eminem attending Proof's mock funeral.
Considering that was the only good song off of that horrible album, maybe now Eminem will have something to rhyme about again.
Perhaps some good can come out of this situation after all.
In more positive music news, the best album of the 80's, Sonic Youth's classic, Daydream Nation, was inducted in the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry 2006 class.
Motherfuckers in Washington listen to indie music?
Some of the other recordings inducted this year are President Coolidge's inauguration, the first trans-Atlantic telephone conversation, Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced," Gil Scott-Heron's "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," and Stevie Wonder's "Songs on the key of Life."
Not bad company at all.
And no one from Sonic Youth shot anyone either.

Description :
The articles published in this volume are the result of a three-year project entitled "Practices of Tibetan Bud-dhism in Taiwan" (2012–2015), funded by the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Ex-changes. In an attempt to contribute to the field of the studies on the globalization of religions, this volume adopts the concept of hybridity as the principal model of investigation of the continuities and ruptures in the practices of Tibetan Buddhism, both on a global level and in interaction with the local religious traditions of Taiwanese and Chinese societies. Hybridity helps cul-tural traditions (the religious and material Tibetan ones) to recruit new adherents (mostly Han) and to be recognized locally, regionally, and globally, as new forms of distinct religiosity emerge. The volume fo-cuses on the agencies at the origin of these hybridities, i.e. the Chinese, Taiwanese or Tibetan masters in-volved, and examines the strategies they employ in order to position themselves as legitimate masters of Tibetan Buddhism.

Difference Between Mediclaim and Health Insurance
Health insurance has become a necessity in these times as the treatment charges in hospitals have soared. People who are young and healthy find health insurance as a waste of money but you never know when a critical illness, accident or medical emergency can occur suddenly. Just because one is healthy at present does not guarantee that you will be healthy in the future too. This is why more and more people have started buying health insurance policies in addition to buying life insurance policies. There is another policy by insurance companies which is getting popular is called Mediclaim. This article aims at finding out the differences between health insurance and Mediclaim.
• Firstly, health insurance is a kind of insurance which does not promise any benefit unless you fall sick and do not claim during the policy. It is similar to financial protection in case you fall sick as your medical expenses are covered by the policy up to the amount that is specified in the policy. Mediclaim is a type of insurance policy that differs in a number of respects.
• In Mediclaim, critical illnesses from which you get protection are already listed and you get the benefits only if you contract those diseases in the list. The policy of insurance on the other hand, is for the expenditure incurred after hospitalization and loss of income that may arise because of the disease.
• While Mediclaim policies are for the period of one year and policyholder must renew the policy for another year while the general health insurance policies are for 3-5 years. The premiums of these policies also differ. Mediclaim premiums are higher than those of general insurance policies.
• Another difference relates to claims made under these policies. While you can make more claims under Mediclaim until you have exhausted the sum insured but in case of a general insurance policy, the policy is closed as soon as you make a claim and the entire amount to you insured has been disbursed.
• Mediclaim policies have a broader coverage than health insurance policies and have more types of diseases and health problems listed in the policy you are protected against. You get the facility of cashless hospitalization where you do not need to pay a dime while there is no such provision in case of health insurance policies and you need to wait for the disbursal of the claimed expenses.

The concentration and prevalence of Escherichia coli O157 in cattle feces at the time of slaughter was studied over a 9-week period from May to July 2002. Fecal samples (n = 589) were collected from the rectums of slaughtered cattle, and the animal-level prevalence rate was estimated to be 7.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.4 to 9.6%) while the group prevalence was 40.4% (95% CI, 27.7 to 53.2%). Of the 44 infected animals detected, 9% were high shedders that contained E. coli O157 at concentrations of >104 CFU g−1. These 9% represented >96% of the total E. coli O157 produced by all animals tested. All isolates possessed the vt2 gene, 39 had the eaeA gene, and a further five had the vt1 gene also. The presence of high-shedding animals at the abattoir increases the potential risk of meat contamination during the slaughtering process and stresses the need for correctly implemented hazard analysis and critical control point procedures.
Escherichia coli O157 was first identified as a food-borne pathogen in 1982 during an outbreak that was traced to contaminated hamburgers (20). The pathogen is associated with a range of symptoms, including watery or bloody diarrhea, vomiting, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome, which is characterized by acute renal failure affecting mainly children and the immunocompromised (7). While the majority of foods linked to human outbreaks of E. coli O157 are not assessed quantitatively, some studies have indicated a low infective dose (1, 26), highlighting the need for stringent control of contamination during food production.
Cattle and other ruminants have been established as major natural reservoirs for E. coli O157 (18) and play a significant role in the epidemiology of human infections (7). It has been estimated that 1 to 4% of United Kingdom cattle are infected at slaughter (3, 19), although more recently a prevalence rate of 8.6% has been reported from a farm study in Scotland (25). In the United States, breeding herd prevalences of 1% (21) and 9.3% (6) have been recorded, whereas in feedlot animals, rates have varied between 2.8% (4) and 35.8% (5). Prevalences in the summer months were usually greater than in the winter months. A number of environmental and food-borne sources have caused E. coli O157 incidents, with many attributed to the consumption of food of bovine origin (22) or with either direct or indirect contact with cattle and other farm animals (13).
The concentration at which E. coli O157 is shed in feces varies from animal to animal as demonstrated in a North American study with calves (29), where a range from 102 to 105 CFU g−1 was observed. High-shedding sheep (excreting >104 CFU g−1) were responsible for the New Deer E. coli O157 outbreak in Scotland (16, 23). High-shedding animals pose an elevated risk of contaminating the food chain if presented to slaughter. However, little published data are available on the concentration of E. coli O157 in cattle feces at the time of slaughter.
The health risk from E. coli O157 and other pathogens is minimized by abattoir carcass inspection for visible signs of fecal contamination supplemented with appropriate hazard analysis and critical control point systems. Quantitative microbiological risk assessments have been developed for ground beef (2) and direct contact environmental transfer (24) pathways, but these need to be parameterized with prevalence and concentration data. The aim of this study was to determine the individual and group animal prevalence together with the concentration of E. coli O157 in cattle at the time of slaughter. The proportion of high-shedding individuals was also investigated.
Sample collection.Weekly samples were collected from a local abattoir. Approximately 75 g of fecal material was taken from the rectum of each animal after disembowelment. This was done on the process line of the factory by rectum retrieval and manually milking of the fecal contents. Samples were collected in sterile plastic bags, stored in a cool box, and transported to the laboratory within 3 h. All samples were stored at 4°C and processed within 48 h of collection. Cross-contamination was minimized by washing (with water at approximately 50°C) the processing bench and by the use of sterile gloves changed for each animal.
Isolation of E. coli O157.Samples were analyzed by enrichment followed by immunomagnetic separation (IMS) (15). Each fecal sample (25 g) was homogenized with 225 ml of buffered peptone water (Oxoid CM509) supplemented with 8 mg of vancomycin liter−1 and incubated at 42°C for 6 h. To determine the presence or absence of E. coli O157, 1 ml of the enriched sample was analyzed by IMS (KingFisher mL; Thermo Life Sciences, Basingstoke, United Kingdom) with 0.02 ml of Captivate E. coli O157 immunomagnetic beads (International Diagnostic Group [IDG], Bury, United Kingdom). After IMS, the beads were washed three times (in buffered saline [PBS] plus Tween 20), resuspended in 0.1 ml of the same buffer, spread equally on two sorbitol MacConkey agar plates (SMAC; Oxoid CM813) supplemented with cefixime (0.05 mg liter−1) and potassium telluride (2.5 mg liter−1) (28) (CT-SMAC; Mast Diagnostics, Merseyside, United Kingdom), and incubated at 37°C for 18 to 24 h. Presumptive E. coli O157 colonies (non-sorbitol fermenting) were confirmed by agglutination with a latex test kit (Oxoid DR620). Positive isolates were further confirmed biochemically, by the production of indole from tryptone water at 44°C, and genotypically (see below). The remainder of each fecal specimen was stored at 4°C for further analysis.
Detection limit of IMS technique.Fecal samples found absent from E. coli O157 by IMS analysis (see above) were collected and stored at 4°C. A cocktail (5 laboratory strains from cattle, numbers 74, 96, 99, 177, and 308) of E. coli O157 was prepared in nutrient broth to contain approximately 108 CFU ml−1. Dilutions (10−1 to 10−10) of the cocktail in PBS were spiked (0.1 ml) into 25-g portions of the cattle feces in triplicate. IMS assays were performed in triplicate on these samples as described above.
Enumeration of E. coli O157.The enumeration of IMS-positive E. coli O157 fecal samples was attempted by serially diluting (10−1 to 10−4) a further 25 g of feces with PBS. From each dilution, 0.1 ml was spread on duplicate Harlequin SMAC 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-d-glucuronide (BCIG) (Lab M; IDG) supplemented with cefixime and telluride (Harlequin CT-BCIG) and CT-SMAC. Plates were incubated at 37°C for 18 to 24 h, and presumptive colonies (five were randomly selected when >5 were present on the plate) were confirmed to be E. coli O157 biochemically and by latex agglutination, as described above, and enumerated manually.
Calibration of enumeration technique.Experiments were performed to calibrate the direct plate count technique by using the same spiked samples as described above in the section "Detection limit of IMS technique." Each dilution (0.1 ml) was spread onto duplicate CT-SMAC plates and incubated at 37°C for 18 to 24 h, and the number of target colonies was counted (colonies confirmed to be E. coli O157 as described above). The whole calibration was performed in triplicate with cocktails comprised of the five E. coli O157 strains described above.
Identification of virulence markers.The detection of virulence markers (vt1, vt2, and eaeA genes) in the positive isolates was determined by PCR (12). The amplification products were separated on a 2% agarose gel in 0.5 M Tris-borate-EDTA buffer and visualized under UV by using a 100-bp ladder as a standard (Amersham Biosciences, Little Chalfont, Bucks, United Kingdom). The expected product sizes were as follows: vt1, 282 bp; vt2, 164 bp; and eaeA, 410 bp.
Detection limit of IMS technique.We assumed that the E. coli O157 organisms were Poisson distributed in the samples, and therefore, an exponential model (8) was used to describe the IMS data. Hence, the probability (πi) of an IMS sample testing positive can be expressed as: $$mathtex$$\[{\pi}_{i}{=}1{-}e^{{-}rC}\]$$mathtex$$ where C is the concentration of organisms in the sample and r is a constant. The maximum-likelihood estimate was used to fit the exponential to these data (12). The maximum-likelihood estimate method involves minimizing the deviance (Y) by sampling different values of r: $$mathtex$$\[min\ Y{=}{-}2{{\sum}_{i{=}1}^{k}}\ \left\{P_{1}\left[ln\left(\frac{{\pi}_{i}}{{\pi}_{i}^{0}}\right){+}(T_{i}{-}P_{i})ln\left(\frac{1{-}{\pi}_{i}}{1{-}{\pi}_{i}^{0}}\right)\right]\right\}\]$$mathtex$$ where πi is the predicted probability of an IMS sample being positive estimated from the exponential model and πi0 is the observed proportion of samples positive at a particular concentration. Pi and Ti are the number of positive and total samples tested at each concentration. The Microsoft Excel solver function was employed to perform this task. The value of minimized deviance was compared to a χ2 distribution with k − m degrees of freedom (k is the number of samples tested and m is the number of parameters in the exponential model −1). The fit acceptability is rejected if the deviance is in excess of the 5th percentile of the distribution (8). The detection limit of the assay was defined when the sensitivity was 95%, i.e., the 95% probability that a sample will test positive given that it contains at least one E. coli O157 organism (27). This definition was chosen because a method can be claimed, for example, to detect a single organism in a sample, but if it finds this organism in a small proportion of the assays then the test is not reliable at this limit of detection.
Prevalence data.Microsoft Excel was used to determine the 95% binomial confidence intervals of the prevalence of fecal carriage of E. coli O157 at the individual and group level of the infected animals for all cattle at slaughter and all finishing groups of animals in Scotland, respectively.
Calibration of enumeration technique.The calibration of the enumeration technique was performed with Microsoft Excel by regressing the log actual E. coli O157 plate count against the log expected plate count.
Sample collection.Cattle (n = 721) were examined in the study over a period of 9 visits to the abattoir (May to July 2002), and of these, 18% were found to have rectums devoid of fecal material and, hence, no sample could be obtained. The 589 fecal samples tested represented cattle from five of the six Animal Health Divisions in Scotland and from 56 individual farms.
Detection limit of IMS method.Fig. 1 shows the best fit of the exponential model to the experimental data. The best fit value of r (0.596) occurred at a deviance of 11.4. This fit is acceptable, being less than the critical chi-squared value for 15 − 1 = 14 degrees of freedom (χ2 = 23.7). The limit of detection (when 95% of the spiked samples at a given concentration are detected as positive) occurred at a concentration of 5 CFU g−1. With the assumption that the organisms are Poisson distributed, there is a negligible probability (≪0.1%) of a 25-g sample at this concentration not having at least one organism contained within it.
Prevalence of E. coli O157.The prevalence of E. coli O157 carriage in the feces of individual animals tested was 7.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.4 to 9.6%). These consisted of 25% young bulls, 29.5% heifers, and 45.5% steers. The prevalence of farms having at least one positive animal in the group sent for slaughter was 40.4% (23 of 57) (95% CI, 27.7 to 53.2%).
Calibration of enumeration technique.The calibration of the enumeration technique (Fig. 2) gave a highly significant (R2 = 0.9173 and P < 0.001) linear log-log relationship for the recovery of E. coli O157. The slope (0.9 ± 0.1) was not statistically significantly (P > 0.05) different from unity and the x-axis intercept (2.26, equivalent to 180 organisms), demonstrating that the technique has a limit of detection of E. coli O157 from feces of approximately 102 CFU g−1.
Enumeration of E. coli O157.The concentration of E. coli O157 in cattle feces varied from <102 to 105 CFU g−1 (Table 1). The proportion of cattle which were low shedders (<102 CFU g−1) was 61%, the majority of which were not enumerated by the direct plating method because they were below the detection threshold. High shedders totaled 4 of 44 (9%) of the infected cattle and carried >96% of the total E. coli O157 contained within all animals tested. There was no significant difference between the counts of target colonies on CT-SMAC and Harlequin CT-BCIG (data not presented). The ease of target colony identification varied between samples on the two selective agars for reasons which were unclear.
Virulence markers.Isolates from all 44 E. coli O157-positive specimens contained the vt2 gene, and 39 (89%) had the intimin-encoding eaeA gene. Five samples (11%), including three from animals at the same farm slaughtered on the same day, also carried the vt1 gene.
The prevalence rate of individual animals tested here (7.5%) is similar, within the statistical variation, to that of a previous farm-based study in Scotland (25) which gave a value of 8.6%. However, a 12-month abattoir-based study (17) in the United Kingdom showed a lower prevalence of 4.7%. The group prevalence of 40.4% in the study reported here represents the batch of animals sent from a farm to the abattoir and may not be a true prevalence rate for the entire herd. The United Kingdom abattoir study (17) observed a similar group prevalence of 44%. However, the Scottish farm-based study (25) covered a period of 2 years and showed a group-level prevalence of 23.7% (95% CI, 21.0 to 26.5%), which is significantly lower than that reported here. The reasons for this difference may be because the present study was performed in the summer months, which is defined as the period of high prevalence by Hancock et al. (9), because the animals may have shed increasing loads of E. coli O157 from stress due to transport prior to slaughter (14), or because larger sample volumes were assayed in the present project (25 g compared to 1 g).
The majority of E. coli O157 organisms isolated were potentially pathogenic to humans, with all of them having the verotoxin gene vt2 and 89% having the attaching and effacing gene eaeA. Most (89%) were vt1 negative and vt2 positive, which is comparable to the ratios of clinical E. coli O157 isolates in Scotland, where in 2002, 81% (Scottish E. coli O157 Reference Laboratory, personal communication) have been vt1 negative and vt2 positive. This is further evidence that cattle are a source of human E. coli O157 infections.
The detection limit of the method used to estimate the prevalence of E. coli O157 in feces influences the isolation rate. This study demonstrated for the IMS technique that there was a 95% likelihood of detecting an animal shedding 5 CFU g−1 and a 5% likelihood of detecting an animal shedding 0.09 CFU g−1. The direct plating technique demonstrated a linear relationship (Fig. 2) which was used for enumerating the shedding concentrations of animals excreting >102 CFU g−1. However, one problem associated with the direct plating technique was that some positive samples with a relatively low concentration of E. coli O157 may have been underestimated in samples with a high background flora, which makes target recognition difficult. Biochemical characterization of selected nontarget colonies identified Aeromonas hydrophila which suggests further method improvement to eradicate such organisms. No correlation was observed between numbers of E. coli O157 and background flora.
Risk factors which have been strongly associated with human infection include the likelihood of contact with farm animals or their feces (13) and the consumption of ground beef (22). The abattoir is a major link in the transmission of E. coli O157 to the food chain, and cross-contamination of the carcass with feces (19) and the return of waste to the fields (10, 11) are a major concern. This study determined that 1 in 11 cattle positive for E. coli O157 in the abattoir is potentially a high-shedding animal which may produce over 96% of the total E. coli O157 shed in feces by all the infected animals slaughtered at a particular time period.
This implies that the high concentration being shed by a few of the infected animals may be of much greater importance than the prevalence rate.
The differences in the concentration of E. coli O157 shed in the feces of infected animals within the same group varied, and the reason for this could not be identified during the course of this work. Further work is required to understand why a range of concentrations exist. The presence of high concentrations of pathogens in some animals at the time of slaughter highlights the need for risk mitigation strategies to screen for high-shedding animals prior to slaughter (2). However, there are practical issues which must be addressed here associated with time, place, and cost of screening as well as availability of facilities to enable safe depuration of high-shedding animals.
This study has established the presence of high-shedding animals at abattoirs, providing an increased risk of contamination to both the food chain and the environment. The need for suitable control measures for such animals cannot be underestimated, and future research is needed to devise mitigation strategies that will reduce the risk of gross or major contamination of the food chain or the environment.

"I was rear-ended while I was stopped waiting to make a left hand turn. I was hit so hard the driver rebounded and hit me again, cracking the frame of my Jeep, totalling it. John Wright at Cellino and Barnes represented me and did an absolutely marvelous job. I've had 3 surgeries because of this accident and the insurance company offered a very low settlement. John got me almost 5x what insurance offered. Those commercials on TV are really true! I am so grateful to John for what he did for me, and without having to go to trial. His assistant, Sheri Stanton, was nothing but kind to me even on my worst days. I am so thankful for John Wright, Sheri Stanton, and Cellino and Barnes. I will never forget what they did for me." -Deborah J.
After graduating from law school, I went on active duty as a Judge Advocate General (JAG) with the United States Air Force. As a JAG, I litigated criminal cases, examined medical malpractice claims, investigated aircraft incidents, and provided legal assistance to thousands of service members and their families, and performed a vast array of other duties throughout Asia and Europe.
I went on active duty to fulfill my lifelong dream to serve my country and be a part of a team that embodies the values similar to those I instill in my everyday life: integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all I do. They are the values and qualities that go to the core of a person's character and make a surmountable difference in the success one may achieve inside and outside the courtroom.
When transitioning from active duty to civilian life, I found a team at Cellino & Barnes that embodies similar values and qualities: strong, solid, and successful. Cellino & Barnes shares my philosophy that each case must be handled as if it were going to trial and the protection of the client's best interest should never be compromised.
It is no secret that insurance companies value cases and make decisions based on their quarterly financial statements, and not on the needs of those injured or killed through the negligence of others. Unfortunately many law firms handle cases similarly by looking for the quick settlement and easy profits, leaving their clients wondering who's on their side.
I understand the significant impact that injuries may have brought to your life, and I will zealously advocate your case to obtain the maximum recovery for your injuries and the damages you have suffered. As your attorney, I promise that you will always have comfort in knowing that I am always on your side.

Risa Green of Mommy Track'd recently wrote "What Will We Tell Our Daughters?" in her weekly column, Tales From the Mommy Track. She is referring to the advice that we should give our daughters about "having it all," as in "Is it even possible?" In this column, she writes about work. What do we tell our daughters about having a career and having a family? Should we encourage them to be anything they want to be, knowing that we might be setting them up for hard times when they decide to have children? Or should we counsel that they should choose careers with flexibility built into them? Or even tell them that they shouldn't pursue any kind of high-powered career if they intend to be mothers?
Risa writes that "one of the moms [she was talking to] pointed out that we, as the first generation of mothers to fully understand and accept the idea that 'having it all' is an impossible goal, are in a unique position to guide our daughters into careers and lives that might, ultimately, spare them the angst that a lot of us are going through right now."
My mother always told me that I could be anything I wanted to be, but she never addressed the issue of being a working mother. Should she have? She herself was a teacher, but she quit working when I was in grade school. She was still of the generation that thought traditionally about a woman's role in the family (she got married in 1949). I was a little young for the feminist movement, so I was more influenced by her example than by anything those Women Libbers were saying. Obviously: I got married at the age of 20 and had four kids by the time I was 28. I didn't work outside of the home until my youngest was four.
But my husband and I divorced when we were 29 (God, that seems so long ago–and we were so young!) and I was left without a college degree and no training of any kind. I ended up working at the post office for 16 years and being miserable. I had a dependable income and was able to support my family, but the job itself took its toll and I definitely wasn't there for my children.
So it's not so much that I felt that I couldn't have it all, but that I hated my job. It was not rewarding and it was hard on my family (I worked as a distribution machine clerk on the graveyard shift for the first five years, when my kids were in grade school.) I don't know how different it would have been if I'd had a bona fide career, instead of the menial job that I did have. I think my children learned from my negative example that you don't want to get stuck in a job that you hate. But I wish I could have given them the positive example of a woman working at a job she loves.
Because I don't think it's as much an issue of whether or not you should work or how much time you should devote to your job when you have children, but of being happy with the choices you do make. If I had it to do over again, I would tell my daughters that you can have it all. It just isn't going to be easy.

Police: Man arrested for sale of synthetic marijuana
NORWALK -- A multi-jurisdictional law enforcement operation resulted in the raid of a Norwalk property Thursday morning and the arrest of a Monroe man for allegedly selling synthetic marijuana through the mail.
Anthony Fusco, 30, of 50 Admiral Drive, Monroe, was charged with possession of more than four ounces of marijuana, possession with intent to sell and illegal manufacturing and distribution of a controlled substance. He posted $50,000 bond and will appear at Norwalk Superior Court on March 14.
Norwalk and Coventry police officers were accompanied by agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration in executing a search and seizure warrant at 12 Robin Square East early Thursday morning. The raid was the result of an investigation into the sale of synthetic marijuana via the Internet and the distribution of the drugs through the mail, according to a news release from the Coventry Police Department.
The raid resulted in Fusco's arrest, and Fusco may face more charges, as the investigation is continuing, according to police.

Brewer, and pub and restaurant operator Greene King has announced plans to spend between £40m-£50m per year over the next three years on simplifying its brand portfolio.
The news came as the Bury St Edmunds-based business – whose brands include Hungry Horse, Chef & Brewer and Loch Fyne – revealed what it says were 'strong' interim results this morning. They were the first results the company has posted that take into account its purchase of Spirit Pub Company earlier this year, which added 791 managed pubs and 416 tenanted and leased pubs to its estate. The company revealed it had now successfully integrated the tenanted and leased Spirit pubs, which it purchased in May. However following the acquisition, it plans to halve its brand mix down from 20, focusing on key growth brands.
Greene King Retail like-for-like sales climbed by 2% in the 24 weeks to October 2015. Spirit Managed sales were up 1.2%, Pub Partners net income was up 2.4% and Brewing & Brands own-brewed volume climbing to 3.6%. Performance was augmented by the acquisition of Spirit, which was owned for 17 weeks of the period.
Total revenue grew 49.2% to £917.7m, including a £269.3m contribution from Spirit. Excluding Spirit, revenue increased 5.4% to £648.4m. Operating profit grew 46.1% to £180.2m, including a £51.4m contribution from Spirit and reflecting £2.1m of synergy achieved to date. Excluding Spirit and synergies, the Greene King business delivered 4.1% growth in operating profit to £128.3m.
As part of its trading statement, the company said: 'We acquired a strong portfolio of brands and formats with Spirit – one that would have been very difficult to replicate organically – and optimising the brands from both businesses will provide an exciting growth opportunity over the next few years.'
Around 300 to 400 pubs are set to be repositioned as part of the new strategy, which will focus on expanding the Hungry Horse, Flaming Grill, Farmhouse Inns, Chef & Brewer and Metropolitan brands, as well as the company's premium London estate. The company said it also plans to continue to develop a strong Local Pubs estate, its hotel business, as well as the Loch Fyne Seafood & Grill chain. The transition will be funded by a combination of internally generated cash and disposals.
Rooney Anand, Greene King chief executive officer, said: 'It has been a strong first half, with the Greene King business strengthening and significant progress made in the Spirit integration. We completed the acquisition of Spirit Pub Company and, by combining the best of both companies, made good progress in capturing value from the acquisition and creating the UK's leading pub hospitality company.
'We believe we have the best portfolio of retail pub brands, the best pub assets and the most talented team which, when combined with the strong contribution from synergies and the benefits of our enlarged scale, will ensure we continue delivering value to our customers and our shareholders.'
At the period-end, Greene King operated 3,069 pubs, restaurants and hotels across England, Wales and Scotland, of which 1,833 were retail pubs, restaurants and hotels, and 1,236 were tenanted, leased and franchised pubs. Around 83% of the estate is either freehold or long leasehold. It added ten managed pubs to the estate during the period.

When it comes time to pick an individual to oversee the distribution of a will or trust, many people consider a third-party professional instead of a family member or friend. While it may seem natural to name those with a financial background to this role, it is important to take a closer look at one's title and designation before selecting executors or trustees. An Ontario mutual fund dealer recently landed himself in hot water when he improperly took on two clients' estates as co-executor and trustee.
Estate planning tips for business owners
Planning for the future can be challenging for anyone, but business owners have particular considerations when preparing wills. Ontario business owners should be careful to include detailed information about the future of their business in estate plans if they hope for their business to survive the owner or owners. Plans should not only designate future management and ownership of the business, but also answer any questions that may arise about the transition and assets within the business. Here are some considerations for business owners looking to plan for their futures.
What happens if a beneficiary dies during estate administration?
When a person passes away, his or her assets are distributed amongst beneficiaries, often based on a will. Unexpected occurrences, such as the death of an heir, can make estate administration more complicated than it may seem on the surface. Here is how to approach the administration of an Ontario estate if a beneficiary dies prior to distribution.
Thorough planning can ease estate administration for the affluent
Almost every family has some difficult issues to consider when preparing estate plans, but those who are particularly wealthy may have additional considerations. Many wealthy Ontario families hand over estate planning decisions to financial advisors, but it may be beneficial to take a closer look at their recommendations before finalizing a strategy. This attention will not only help families identify their best options, but also ease the estate administration process later on.
Future planning should not wait until capacity wanes
Many people consider estate planning to exclusively involve the management of their assets after passing away, but there is more to it than just this. It also involves planning for who can make decisions on an individual's behalf if they no longer have the capacity to do so. It is important that Ontario adults and their loved ones have serious conversations about what may happen in a variety of situations, not only in the event of a death.

DAVID BYRNE (London Hammersmith Apollo, 19/06/18)
Davie B's show at the Royal Festival Hall in 2009 remains one of the most remarkable live performances I've ever seen (Eno in a tutu!), but somehow, he's managed to up his game even further. A minimalist set-up with maximum results which placed the focus on his multi-talented entourage rather than fancy stage-craft, it's a show that marries glorious invention, marvelous choreography and some of the best songs of the last 40 years with an unmatched, unpretentious sense of fun. Incredible.

It was a golden final day for T&T at the North American, Central American and Caribbean (NACAC) Under-18 and U-23 Championships in Queretaro, Mexico, on Sunday.
First, Shaniqua Bascombe comfortably sped to the gold medal in the 200 metres event in a time of 24.00 seconds. This after the Carifta 200m girls' champion advanced with the fastest qualifying time of 23.49.
"I feel great. It was great to win another medal for my country. I have won the Carifta gold and now I have won the NACAC U-18 200m title," said an elated Bascombe.
"My race was very good as I started well and followed the instructions of my coach and ran the final 120m good. I executed very well today (Sunday)," added Bascombe, who thanked the National Association of Athletics Administration of T&T (NAAATT) for giving her an opportunity to compete and her coach Kelvin Nancoo for his support and dedication.
Leah Bertrand also faced the starter in the half-lap event and placed fifth in 24.86.
T&T's other gold medal came in the Mixed U-18 4x400m relay, after a dominating performance from Jesaiah Jones, Rae-Ann Serville Taejha Badal and Saeed Pompey, running in that order. The local quartet clocked 3:26.49 to reach the top of the podium.
Jerod Elcock also had success on the day, copping a silver medal in the men's U-23 200m dash after crossing the line in 20.65.
"I feel very accomplished because I worked very hard for this," said Elcock.
"I didn't get a perfect start but I executed perfectly. I came off the bend and transitioned into the straight and came home strong and I came second. Overall, the team performed well. Everyone performed to the best of their ability and we are thankful for that."
Shakeem McKay competed in the boys' U-18 200m final and went over the line in seventh place in 22.22 seconds.
On Saturday evening, T&T closed with two more medals thanks to Serville and the boys' U-18 4x100m relay team.
Justin Guy, Devin Augustine, Jaydon Moore and Shakeem Mc Kay, running in that order, copped silver in a time of 41.82. The local quartet followed the Jamaican team, who won in 41.17, to the line. In third place was Mexico in a time of 42.42.
Earlier, Serville ran away with bronze in the girls' U-18 400m. The national quarter-miler clocked 54.38 to place third while another T&T runner in the event, Badal, finished sixth with a 55.53-clocking.
In the boys' version of the one-lap event, Saeed Pompey crossed in seventh place in 49.39.
At the end of the three-day meet, T&T finished in sixth place with seven medals – three gold, two silver and two bronze. On day one, long jumper Andwuelle Wright won gold and Justin Guy bagged bronze in the 110m hurdles in the morning session on Saturday.
The USA ended in first place with 56 medals 27 gold, 23 silver and six bronze, hosts Mexico were second with 63 medals 19 gold, 15 silver and 29 bronze and Jamaica third with 39 made up of 18 gold, 13 silver and 8 bronze medals.
Also placing ahead of T&T was Canada with 28(6 gold, 9 silver, 13 bronze) and the Bahamas with eight (3 gold, 4 silver, 1 bronze) respectively.

Budgens, the independent retail brand, are delighted to announce they have received an award for 'England's Best Sirloin Steak 2015' for their "Discover the Taste" sirloin steak. The award, which recognises excellence in beef and lamb, is part of the EBLEX Quality Standard Mark Excellence Awards which was held in London on Wednesday (22 April 2015).
Budgens were shortlisted for the awards back in January, when they received a Gold Award for their steak along with ten other retailers in the 'Multiple Retailer' category. Just three out of the ten Gold Award winners were invited to battle it out in the final round before Budgens were named as the overall category winners at the awards this week.
The winning product is a Budgens "Discover the Taste" sirloin steak which is dry aged for 7 days and then matured for a further 14 days to develop a fantastic texture and flavour. It is a 210g pack which sells in Budgens for £7.00. Judges were impressed with the quality, flavour and texture of the meat in what they described as a 'hotly contested' category.
Hugh Judd, competition organiser and foodservice project manager for EBLEX, said: "We launched the Quality Standard Mark Excellence Awards to find the very best steak products in the country and I believe we have done just that!"
Mike Baker, Director at Budgens said: "We are absolutely thrilled to have won the title of 'England's Best Sirloin Steak', our 'Discover the Taste' sirloin steak is simply delicious and we're really proud to have it recognised in this way."
EBLEX who created the award are the government agency responsible for driving British beef and lamb sales and profitability, as well as making the industry more sustainable and driving awareness of British beef and lamb both in the UK and abroad for export.
