Working from her spare room by the sea, Lucy Brasher's work focuses on the animal form incorporating the human element. Her work has a touch of whimsy with a darker undertone, much like the fables and folklore that have influenced them. All of Lucy's work is created by hand and machine using predominantly reclaimed and re-purposed fabrics.
After studying a degree in Jewellery and Silversmithing at the School of Jewellery in Birmingham Jodie moved to London to pursue her dreams and spent seven years working for fashion jewellery designer Scott Wilson creating collections for trade shows including London Fashion Week and one off commission pieces for major fashion houses and celebrities including Pringle, Swarovski, Robbie Williams and Kylie.Jodie returned to Cardiff and in 2008 set up her own business establishing herself within galleries and shops throughout the UK with her Ribbon and Equilateral Collections. The Ribbon Collection is her signature range, inspired from the moment you unravel a roll of satin ribbon, it twists and loops, as you lift it a knot forms. She manipulates the metal creating a light wearable adornment that looks beautiful from every angle.
Over the past fifty years Llantarnam Grange Arts Centre has built up an impressive permanent collection of paintings, drawings, prints and craft including examples from many of Wales most influential and seminal artists. This small exhibition in our Oriel café presents a selection of work which has been donated to the collection from the Contemporary Art Society of Wales (CASW).
03 December 2016 until 28 January 2017
The zoomorphic transformation of humans taking on animal form has been part of folklore and religion for millennia, from native American skin walkers, Egyptian gods and the creatures of European fairytales. These hybrids explore the imagery of fantasy and magic but also the essential animal instinct behind all human nature. The work in this exhibition explores the half world between human and animal through ceramics, textiles and print.

As a textile and print artist Monmouthshire based Penny Turbull's primary interest is in collage and the layering of texture and colour to create her image. Her work involves the use of an embellisher allowing her to combine fabrics and colour in a painterly way, giving more scope to mix and fragment colour producing an interesting background to further develop with stitch. Free machine embroidery using a black thread gives a sketch like quality which is further worked with hand stitching to add detail and movement. Penny works from her studio in Monmouthshire.
Amanda uses diverse materials in her work many of which she has collected from her time in London where she mudlarked on the Thames river foreshore.Now living in Wales she continues to gather found objects from the Welsh landscape,whether they be wood, glass, river stones or pottery.All these materials are bound and stitched,combined with recycled silver and worked into bespoke items of jewellery, that not only connect to nature and landscape, but also tell a story of the communities that lived before us and the traces of their lives they have left behind.

Jane Lynch recalls how she got cast for 'Julie & Julia'
By Greg Hernandez
HollywoodNews.com: When director Nora Ephron was looking for an actress to play the sister of Julia Child (Meryl Streep) in her film "Julie & Julia," she immediately thought of Jane Lynch.
Was it her great comic timing? Her stunning acting resume?
Not really.
Jane recalled how it all went down during a conversation about her career over the weekend at the Outfest Film Festival: "I met Nora Ephron right out here in the lobby (of the DGA Theatre] at the premiere of "A Mighty Wind" and she said, 'Maybe we'll get to work together sometime." Then we were at the same brunch together and she called me about four months later and said, 'Look, I don't know many tall actresses and I need one. You're the tallest one I know. It's a very small part, would you be willing to do it? You'll get a free trip to France and I said, 'I'd love to.'
The trip to Paris didn't quite pan out: "By the time I got there it went from being in Paris to being in Hoboken because the train station [the setting for her memorable opening scene] in Hoboken was more authentic than any train station in Paris."
So what was it like for acting goddess Jane Lynch to work with acting legend Meryl Streep?

Arianna Swaps Christmas Sweaters for PJs
Take a look at the following photo, taken this holiday season at The Huffington Post's NYC offices. Notice anything different?
That's right; no one is wearing a Christmas sweater, breaking what had been a longstanding HuffPo tradition.
Explains Arianna Huffington to FishbowlNY: "After nine years of giving holiday sweaters, we decided it was time to disrupt our own tradition. Some of our employees had collected seven, eight or nine sweaters and it seemed like time to give them something else to wear."
"Part of the fun (and suspense) was shipping pajamas to HuffPosters all over the world at all our international editions, and getting periodic updates that the pajamas were running late, or being held in customs. But they all made it."
For a larger version of the photo above, and a look at some of the other, ready-for-the-night-shift HuffPo teams, click here. A company rep confirms that pajamas were also sent out this year as gifts to folks outside the company at OWN, Facebook, Thrillist, AARP and beyond.

Vehicle Loading Systems | Feature
Raising a pallet-load of goods to the level of a van or truck's cargo bed is only part of the battle. Assuming that the vehicle isn't a curtainsider, how on earth do you get that pallet all the way up to the bulkhead?
You may of course be lucky and find you are dealing with a body made by Finnish manufacturer Ekeri, with folding doors right the way down the side. If you are not, then you may end up having to trundle the pallet all the way inside the vehicle using a pallet truck, or perhaps a fork lift if you are loading it from a loading dock.
Doing that again and again, week-in week-out, will gradually wear out the body's floor. Then there is the question of how you pull all those pallets out again when the vehicle reaches its destination.
Fit a Roller Bed
One way of addressing this problem is to fit a full-length roller bed from a manufacturer such as Joloda. They offer the Hydraroll Trailerloda system for aircargo movement.
"Trailerloda is the ideal system for vehicles of any age/type as the floor is simply laid on top of the existing floor," explains Karen McBride, Marketing and Project Manager for Joloda.
"The floor is designed for moving aircargo but can also be used for standard back loads of pallets. The floor can also be easily removed and re-installed in another trailer if needed.
"Trailerloda is especially favoured for refrigerated vehicles as it prevents having to cut into the expensive insulated floor.
"Trailerloda basically gives flexibility to cope with seasonal peaks or short term contracts. It is a reactive solution to acquiring a rollerbed vehicle in days rather than weeks, or even months now with current trailer lead times."
CargoFresh, PRS Logistics and Dixons in Dublin are some of the most recent users of Trailerloda. Depending on what suits, you can either have two trained engineers visit your site for installation or you can deliver your vehicle to Jolada's factory, and your vehicle will be ready to use within six hours.
"The system uses the MK21 twin rollers which are 40% more efficient, and with less debris able to fall through reducing the maintenance required," says Karen.
"Forklifts can drive on the surface of the system and there is an optional anti slip coating that is available. The system still allows full aircargo container capabilities with the total weight of the floor only 1,435kg."
This solution is not only suitable for trucks and trailers – roller beds are available for vans too. Joloda's Hydraroll Vanloda demountable light commercial roller bed is equipped with rollers that are raised pneumatically using a compressor powered from a 12v socket.
With the rollers up you simply push the pallets into place then drop the rollers once they are all in position. When you reach your destination, you raise the rollers again and pull the pallets towards the back doors using a pole with a hook on the end.
The rollers allow even quite heavy pallets to be moved easily, says Joloda. Both loading and unloading can be completed comparatively quickly and there is less risk that cargo will be
Two-lane versions of Vanloda can handle pallets weighing up to 600kg, while three-lane versions can cope with 1,200kg pallets.
A 4.2m-long three-lane Vanloda for a big-capacity panel van weighs approximately 140kg, and Joloda is now recruiting Vanloda distributors.
Joloda can produce bespoke versions of its roller beds to meet the needs of particular operators.
Brinkworth, Wiltshire-based Graham Smith UK supplies a variety of products to the telecommunications industry, including data cabinets designed to provide super-fast 4G and 5G connectivity. They may have to be installed in remote areas away from the public highway which can involve off-loading them from the delivery vehicle and onto a specialist 4×4 using a loader crane.
In response, Joloda designed a tailgate incorporating rollers which connect to the Vanloda system installed in the vehicle's cargo area.
When a cabinet needs to be off-loaded the tailgate is lowered and supported by its adjustable legs. A spirit level is built in to make it easy to check that it is completely level. The cabinet is slid onto the tailgate and can be craned off.
Use a Tail Lift
Not all operators require roller beds. What they simply need is something that will get cargo off the ground and up to a vehicle's back doors.
That probably means a tail lift.
As with a roller bed however, a potential drawback of installing one is the extent to which it increases un-laden weight and reduces payload capacity. That can be a particular issue with light commercials – 3.5-tonners in particular – which may be tight on payload capability to begin with.
One way of addressing this difficulty is to get the tail-lift's platform to double as the rear closure. That way you can do away with the rear roller shutter door and win back some carrying
It is an approach being promoted by Hiab-owned DEL.
At last year's IAA Hanover Commercial Vehicle Show in Germany it launched the British-designed and made 500kg-capacity FC500 tail lift. When not in use the platform covers most
of the body's rear aperture, with a folding flap provided to bridge the gap between the edge of the platform and the vehicle's roof.
Net result? A 100kg payload capacity boost, says DEL.
Another way of chipping away at the kilos is to specify a tail lift that is as light as possible without cutting the lifting capacity you need. For example, the 250kg-capacity LoadLift 250 that
Penny Hydraulics supplies to automotive parts wholesaler Euro Car Parts to lift heavy barrels of lubricant in and out of its vans only weights 100kg.
"We've done a lot of detailed engineering work on all our lifts to keep the weight low, including the use of alloy and mesh platforms," says General Manager, Sales and Marketing, Jess Penny.
Operating in northern Germany and the southeast of the UK, Palfinger Tail Lifts Ltd is a leading manufacturer of innovative lifting solutions for commercial and passenger vehicles.
"The needs and wishes of our customers have always been prioritised," says Janet McClay of Palfinger, "therefore, every single tail lift is manufactured to their individual requirements."
Palfinger produce a wide range of tail lifts to suit both panel vans and chassis cab vehicles, these include column, cantilever, retractable, passenger and tuckaway lifts.
"We attach great importance to innovation during the development and production of tail lifts," explains Janet. "When designing a tail lift our core objective is to reduce your maintenance costs, so when choosing a Palfinger Tail Lifts you benefit from our long history of continuous development and cutting-edge innovation, which results in highly efficient products."
Palfinger's attention to detail continues after delivery, as they have a comprehensive network of 24/365 service agents operating throughout the UK.
Choose a Crane
Penny Hydraulics also supplies lightweight electric cranes which can be mounted on light commercials.
Earlier this year, infrastructure maintenance specialist Amey acquired 80 of Penny's 250kg-capacity Swinglift electric cranes to mount on 3.5-tonne tippers to make it easier to load and unload everything from signage to drums containing chemicals. The Swinglifts weigh 20kg apiece.
Hiab offers a much wider range of onboard cranes with far higher payload capacities.
Last year it renewed what it describes as its 'mid-range loader cranes' line-up with 24 new or updated models aimed at the 20 tonne/metre segment. Newcomers include the X-HiPro 232 with a capacity of 21.3 tonne/metres.
"The new models are up to 300kg lighter than our previous ones and this means the same amount of extra payload," says Medium Range Loader Cranes Director, Hans Ohlsson.
New features added to Hiab's loader range include pre-manufactured, ready-to-install sub-frames tailor-made for the truck the crane will be mounted on. Each frame comes with a pump, tanks and auxiliary stabilisers.
Hiab's HiPro control system now features Crane Tip Control which should make the lives of users a whole lot easier.
It means the tip can be controlled using just three levers governing slewing, horizontal movement and vertical movement. That is simpler than having to control all the crane's functions (first boom, second boom, extensions and so on) in order to get the load that is being lifted to where you want it to go.
All Hiab loader cranes now come with a two-year warranty and with a five-year warranty on structural components.
Try a Mounted Forklift
If you can mount a big loader crane on a vehicle then why not mount a forklift on it instead if that better suits your requirements? That way, you can demount it when the truck reaches its destination and use it to off-load cargo in situations where the drop-off point has no forklift of its own.
Hiab's Moffett truck-mounted forklift is one of the best-known names in the demountable forklift sector but it has a number of rivals.
Loadmac for example offers the 220iR and 825iSR with a capacity of 2.0 and 2.5 tonnes respectively. The former weighs 2.0 tonnes un-laden and is powered by a 29hp Kubota diesel, the latter weighs nearly 2.5 tonnes and is driven by a 49hp Yanmar diesel.
Loadmac fans include turf grower and supplier Quicklawn. It now runs two after the recent acquisition of an 825iSR and uses them to offload turf at customer locations.
"We have up to 1 million square metres of cultivated turf in production at any one time so we need machines that are up to the job," says Transport Manager, Barry Appleby. "We can use them in the yard, in the fields and on-site."
Lightweight Ramps
Loading vehicles need not involve high-tech solutions, or indeed any kind of technology at all.
What is wrong with fitting them with a lightweight loading ramp?
Nothing whatsoever, says WM System, a company with over 20 years' experience of supplying and fitting ramps throughout the UK and Ireland. It provides a wide variety of ramps for vans, including the WM Light, the mesh WM Light-R Series and the WM Light Plus Swivel ramp.
The WM Light Plus Swivel ramp combines the WM light aluminium ramp with the unrivalled PC swivel range, allowing maximum flexibility in a lightweight, high quality ramp. Once folded, the ramp swivels out like an internal door, enabling full access to the van interior.
"The lightweight ramps are being turned to as they provide a high quality, convenient and low-maintenance alternative to the more traditionally used tail lift," explains Llyr Williams of WM
Boasting a fully mechanical system, the WM ramps are easily operated by one person, with Hiab truck-mounted forklift less than 15kg of effort. The lightweight ramps weigh between 40kg and 130kg, and have capacity options ranging from 250kg to up to 1,800kg.
WM System ramps come with a quick connect and release system. Fit several of your vans with location plates and you can transfer your ramp from one vehicle to the next depending on where it is needed. Remember that wheeling a mower up a ramp into a van if you are on parks and gardens work for the council is a lot easier than trying to lift it into place.
"The biggest growth market over the last six years has been the Community Loan Equipment sector, with over 1,200 WM ramps supplied to this sector alone," says Llyr. "With vehicle uptime being most critical in this sector, the ramps come in to their own with their quality, reliability and ease of use."

Deep seabed mining
The DSCC holds that there should be a moratorium on: deep seabed mining; the adoption of seabed mining regulations for exploitation (including the "International Seabed Authority Exploitation Regulations"); and the issuing of exploitation and new exploration contracts, unless and until:
- The environmental, social and economic risks are comprehensively understood;
- It can be clearly demonstrated that deep seabed mining can be managed in such a way that
ensures the effective protection of the marine environment and prevents loss of biodiversity;
- Where relevant, there is a framework in place to respect the free, prior, informed consent of
Indigenous peoples and to ensure consent from potentially affected communities;
- Alternative sources for the responsible production and use of the metals also found in the deep
sea have been fully explored and applied, such as reduction of demand for primary metals, a
transformation to a resource efficient, closed-loop materials circular economy, and responsible
terrestrial mining practices;
- Public consultation mechanisms have been established and there is broad and informed public
support for deep seabed mining, and that any deep seabed mining permitted by the
International Seabed Authority fulfills the obligation to 'benefit (hu)mankind as a whole' and
respects the Common Heritage of Mankind; and
- Member States reform the structure and functioning of the International Seabed Authority to
ensure a transparent, accountable, inclusive and environmentally responsible decision-making
and regulatory process to achieve the above.
Deep-Sea Fisheries
The DSCC is calling for:
- High seas fishing nations and regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) to effectively conserve and protect deep-sea species and ecosystems by implementing the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolutions on deep-sea fisheries, specifically, to:
- Effectively implement the precautionary approach and protect all areas from the harmful impacts of deep-sea fishing, in particular bottom trawl fishing, where vulnerable deep-sea ecosystems are known or likely to occur;
- Conduct legitimate environmental impact assessments;
- Ensure that the catch of deep-sea species is sustainable and that the bycatch of non-target species is eliminated, in particular the bycatch of vulnerable, threatened or endangered species.
- Regular review by the UN General Assembly of the performance of individual RFMOs in the implementation of the UN resolutions.
- Improvement in the next UNGA resolution regarding global accountability of States and RFMOs that manage deep-sea fisheries on high seas.
- Implementation of the European Union deep-sea fisheries regulation adopted in 2016, in particular that:
- The procedures for annual identification of vulnerable marine ecosystem (VME) areas are based on the best scientific information possible, that the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) makes clear recommendations for area closures on the basis of the precautionary approach, and that the area closures are effectively and expeditiously adopted by the Commission;
- No authorizations or reauthorizations are issued by EU Member States for fishing using bottom trawl gear below 800 meters depth;
- Appropriate mechanisms are in place for monitoring, control and surveillance to ensure compliance with the prohibition of bottom trawling below 800 meters and the bottom fisheries area closures to protect VMEs;
- The procedure for mapping the bottom fisheries footprint is as strictly defined as possible and completed by 13 January 2018 as required under Article 7.2 of the regulation;
- Any environmental impact assessments (EIAs) that are done for fishing in new areas outside of the footprint are conducted according to high standards/best practice and properly reviewed and that deep-sea bottom fishing is not permitted in new fishing areas unless the EIA clearly demonstrates that damage to deep-sea ecosystems will not occur;
- Member states establish observer programs as required and that these programs collect sufficient data on a timely basis to allow for the proper evaluation of the programs by 1 January 2018 as required under Article 16.3 of the regulation;
- All deadlines established under the regulation for both the Commission and member states are adhered to.
- A ban on bottom trawling on seamounts by the New Zealand fishing industry – sign the petition here.

We've all done it, even during a meeting, or a family gathering, or a walk in the park: take a peek at the SMS message we just got on our cell phones. Perhaps we don't respond right away, but we do read it. Do we also do this with an unexpected phone call or even our email? Not really.
SMS messages are a really powerful tool to reach out to people. You can literally put a message in their pockets and engage in a continuous relationship with potential (and current) customers. SMS have a 98% open rate, and more than 60% of the receivers would accept to continue receiving special offers or notifications that fits their interests. Today we are sharing 5 tips to really improve our mobile marketing skills.
1. Reward loyalty
SMS messages are a very personal way of reaching out to your clients, so it should be used to create and grow a strong bond with them. Take note of the consumption habits of your clients, send them exclusive offers tailored to their needs, offer coupons, and discounts for products they use or buy frequently.
Invite them to send you their feedback and create rewards for the ones that continue to respond to your communication efforts. Take advantage of the "gamification" possibilities of such an engagement, by issuing points that can later be exchanged for discounts.
2. Customization
Making sure your messages don't look like SPAM or generic mass-messages will sure pay off in the short term. People don't like to receive SPAM in their mobiles, and will sure disregard any kind of communication that is obviously not directed to them in particular. This could make them report your number to the carrier and terminate your mobile marketing adventures (or their relationship with your company) in the short term.
A good rule to follow is to think about what you would like to receive from a company, which mostly reduces to important notifications or offers that you care about. Try to gather enough information from your current and potential customers before engaging with them in such a close and intimate communication. Be polite, use their names in the messages, send them birthday salutations and rewards, offer discounts in products that they might be interested in by taking into account their gender, age, and other personal information. Be useful.
3. Respond
Don't let your clients hanging! If a client sent you a reply to your SMS or started a conversation out of nowhere, make sure you reply to them. Even if it's just an automated response telling them that their request has been received and should receive a reply soon, it's better than nothing at all. It's really important that the communication flows quickly due to how SMS messages work. Companies that don't seem to respond in a timely manner will lose clients rapidly.
4. Show respect
People don't like to receive messages at 4am, and also they might not want to receive all kind of messages from you. Let your clients opt out of your messages, and/or let them choose what type of notifications and alerts they want to receive, and also how frequent they might want them. Make sure you show that you care about privacy and respect their rights to just say "no" or "not now". This approach is much more honest and better than just losing clients and gaining a SPAM reputation for being too aggressive.
5. Engagement
Engaging in a personal manner with your clients is a must these days. Whenever a client finishes a call with your representatives, or an online operation, or even an SMS request, send them a confirmation or a simple "thank you" message.
Even more, ask them if they are satisfied, invite them to give you feedback right away. Let them know that you care about their thoughts, and how useful it is to for them and your company to share this and other information to make the future communications even more efficient. Send a poll from time to time so you can get a bit extra of information about your clients so you can better target your next marketing campaign.

Release Date: Mar 4, 2011
Record label: Columbia
Genre(s): Pop/Rock
Review Summary: Are you listening very carefully?Of course Beth Ditto made a dance-pop record. What with her high-pitched and able set of pipes, scrappy cool, and gay iconicity, this was an inevitability. The sheer panache of EP, though, isn't something to be taken for granted - oh, no. The four songs on Ditto's debut solo effort are uniformly irresistible, their production (courtesy of Simian Mobile Disco) serving as a basic sonic constant.
Beth Ditto is a refreshing pop star fond of tearing up the rule book: dynamic front woman, post-feminist icon, gay spokesperson and unconventional cover girl. Her debut solo EP, produced by Simian Mobile Disco, is out now on the recently revived dance label Deconstruction. The EP takes classic house as its blueprint, and it's a direction which feels like a natural progression after Beth's guest vocal on Simian Mobile Disco's Cruel Intentions.
Beth Ditto - EP On her four-song debut solo effort, Gossip singer Beth Ditto fully embraces the deep dance sound her band has flirted with over the years. A rock star with the melismatic vocal tendencies of an R&B diva, she wisely reins in the histrionics in favour of intimate-sounding melodies. The restrained approach perfectly fits with Simian Mobile Disco's dark, minimal groove contributions, which recall 80s synth pop but with fatter, modern bass lines.
Heavy on bass and disco-diva pomp, Beth Ditto's first venture away from modern dance-punk pioneers Gossip should go some way to fortifying her status as an indie star. The messy arrangements and lo-fi production that accentuated Standing in the Way of Control, and to a lesser extent Music for Men, is banished to make way for Simian Mobile Disco's polished electro, a move which suits Mary Beth Patterson's soulful vocals. Ditto's short yet extraordinarily sweet self-titled EP is festooned with enough sonorous grooves and throbbing basslines to fill a full-length album, boasting the Gossip songstress's most danceable tunes to date.

Well I'm a lil embarrassed about my outburst in my last post. I don't know why I did it- but I did. I know I can delete the post. But I'm not going to do that.
Thanks to all the people who showed concern. I'm not very good at this and I can't really put it in words. I know I should be grateful, and I am, but it's hard to acknowledge that at a certain level. I don't know if you people understand....well I'm psyched out.. I am.
I've been trying to come out with a post. I have some ideas in mind. Maybe in a few days it'll be out here.
Gosh I'm horrible with this. If you are reading this then you obviously are a very tolerant person.
I'll be back soon. With something good hopefully. Take care

Vale – Two Blues greats
- 09th June 2017
- Posted by David_Phefley
Mary Dodgson
University Blues mourns the passing of Mary Dodgson on 19 June 2017. Mary had fought a protracted battle with myeloma, and had been hospitalized for the last 6 months, so there is some relief that her pain has finally passed.
Mary's work in the University lead her to involvement in University Sport. In the late 80's Mary decided to extend her summer interest as scorer for the MU Cricket Club to become timekeeper for Uni Blues. Very soon her responsibilities expanded into the club secretary role which she undertook for 6 years.
Mary's contribution as club secretary was enormous at a time when the club was very thin on the ground in terms of administration. Mary also represented the club as delegate to the Melbourne University Sports Association executive, and as club delegate to the VAFA.
Mary loved being with the players and relished whatever gossip might have been going around. Her bubbly personality, blonde hair and smart attire never went un-noticed by Blues and opposition clubs alike.
Unfortunately illness had prevented Mary continuing her match day support in recent years, but Blues on-field performances remained her first topic of conversation, and she relished phone calls with progress scores on Saturday afternoons.
Mary will be deeply missed by all those who enjoyed her friendship and company throughout the late eighties and nineties.
Funeral is scheduled for 2.30pm Tuesday 27 June at Le Pine, 81 Upper Heidelberg Rd, Ivanhoe. A joint function with the cricket club is proposed in the coming weeks to formally celebrate Mary's life
Ray Henderson
University Blues mourns the passing of Ray Henderson, father of Stewart and Andrew Henderson, and uncle of John Wood. Ray always enjoyed his trips to Melbourne to watch Blues and enjoyed watching footy at the Uni and his times around Uni Blues
Ray passed away tragically on Friday at Royal Melbourne Hospital after contracting Japanese Encephalitis (viral brain infection from a mosquito bite) in Thailand about a month ago.Ray was about to retire from the family farm and start the next phase of his life..
Ray's funeral will be on Thursday at 1pm at Church of Christ, Shepparton, followed by an old school country afternoon tea at the bowls club.
Our sympathies are with Lorraine, Stewart, Andrew and all of the Henderson clan.

History of the International Thyroid Oncology Group (ITOG)
ITOG's origins can be traced to the tireless efforts of our four founding members, Dr. Robert Gagel, Dr. Samuel Wells Jr., Dr. Barry Nelkin, and Mr. Dwight Vicks. In 2003, Dr. Gagel, Dr. Gilbert Cote, and Dr. Steven Sherman met with Mr. Vicks to discuss the obstacles preventing the discovery of new therapies for thyroid cancer patients. For years, thyroid cancer had been incorrectly perceived as always curable, when in fact many patients experience significant morbidity and mortality from their disease. This perception resulted in minimal efforts from federal funding agencies and pharmaceutical companies to conduct clinical research necessary to identify new and effective drugs. Finally, there was a shortage of endocrinologists and oncologists with a career focus on thyroid cancers. These issues prompted the formation of ITOG, which held its first organizational meeting in Atlanta, Georgia in 2006. At this meeting, Dr. Gagel was elected founding President, Dr. Wells, was elected as founding Executive Director, and Mr. Vicks was elected as founding Secretary and Treasurer. A Board of Directors was established and the core mission of ITOG was codified:
Since its inception ITOG has seen tremendous growth. Not-for-profit status has been formalized, the organization adopted a set of bylaws for its governance, and an elected Board of Directors who serve three year terms was installed. In 2012 ITOG established a relationship with ACCRU, a clinical trials group organized by Mayo Clinic, to conduct clinical trials. In late 2012 the first ITOG sponsored clinical trial was approved, a major milestone for the organization.
Early organizational meeting of ITOG (2007): From left to right: Dwight Vicks, Brian McKiver, Robert Gagel, Steven Sherman, Sam Wells, Gilbert Daniels, James Fagin, Robert Smallridge, James Brierly and Orlo Clark.

It is clear that Sika is a better firm than Saint-Gobain (SGO). The invisible hand has been saying so ever since SGO tried in December 2014 to garner control of Sika by purchasing the voting rights held by the controlling Burkard family.
The now three-year old legal standoff has had no impact on Sika's operations and has made clear that Sika does not need SGO. This is a strong test of competence.
Our opinion is that Sika's management could do an even better job by taking over SGO and paring the fat.
We believe that Sika can offer a 20%+ premium on a SGO share price below €45, namely an offer priced of €55. A 50% debt financed transaction would not put Sika's balance sheet at risk.
We conclude in the following review that a Sika bid on SGO would thus warrant a 20% uplift on SGO, while the upside potential on Sika's target price could be a remarkable 85% (i.e. a CHF13,500).

Instructor Biography
Merging the spiritual with art has always been an intention held almost unknown even to me until recently. Therefore, after I retired as a home economist, a teacher, and later director of the local Cooperative Extension Service with the University of Florida, I trained as a spiritual director and then returned to school where I completed a second masters degree in pastoral theology from Barry University. Throughout my life the creative use of fiber has never left me whether it was sewing, stitching, knitting, spinning or weaving this is the medium that allows me to express my ideas and values. I live in Fort Myers, Florida during the winter on a ten acre ranchette with my family, horses, dogs and chickens. I love the natural world and volunteer with the Appalachian Faith and Ecology Center as an ecological educator for communities of faith.

Chemical workers at Cray Valley Hydrocarbon Specialty Chemicals (Cray Valley) in Beaumont, Texas, will soon be able to address the workplace and management issues that prompted them to organize when they start negotiating a first contract this month.
Negotiations start Feb. 20 and will focus on job security, health and safety, and contract language that protects existing healthcare, vacation and other benefits, said Adam Trenholm, the unit chair for the group that is part of Local 13-243.
Trenholm and his 43 coworkers began their journey to improve their workplace on Sept. 20, 2019 when they contacted the USW and started their organizing campaign. The group—which includes production operators, lab technicians, instrument and electrical technicians, maintenance technicians and material handlers—wanted to organize because of job security and safety issues, Trenholm said.
In addition, he said the company started eliminating job positions and changing them entirely. Plus, he said that management was unfairly disciplining employees.
"Workers were very concerned about the orders they were getting from supervisors," said Hoot Landry, District 13 staff representative. "The supervisor would tell them to do something, the worker would do it, and the supervisor would say the way the worker did it was wrong. They tried to blame workers."
Company pushback
Cray Valley makes hydrocarbon resin used for tire products and tape, and is the base for any glue, Trenholm said. The resin goes into products for other companies, such as 3M and Michelin which are some of Cray Valley's biggest customers.
Formerly owned by Goodyear Tire Company, Cray Valley is now a subsidiary of Total Petrochemicals and has been at the current site for 50 years as of March 25, 2020.
Cray Valley employed typical union-busting tactics, including the hiring of a union-busting lawyer.
"They organized mandatory meetings and started to remove vacation and other benefits," Trenholm said.
To help, Local 13-243 opened its union hall to the workers, so they could discuss their issues and receive assistance in resolving their grievances.
"We shared with them that there's strength in numbers," Landry said. "They had to decide whether to stick together and fight back, or continue to get more of the same treatment."
He said the workers contacted the union whenever the company tried to implement changes to the status quo.
The Cray Valley workers voted overwhelmingly for USW representation in a National Labor Relations Board election on Nov. 14-15, 2019.
"I feel a lot safer," Trenholm said. "I feel we have what we need (a union) to be protected. It will be nice to have an arbitration and grievance procedure. That's something we do not have now. Having a union gives us a voice, which we didn't have before either."
Workers elected Trenholm, David White and Wesley Durio to the bargaining committee, and completed a survey on the issues they want addressed in the first contract.
Landry said that he and the committee had a preliminary discussion with the company over negotiations and feel positive about getting a first contract.
"We believe that in a reasonable amount of time we will be able to work through our issues," he said.

In my show, I talk about stuff like: I wrote new lyrics for popular songs in my own way, I'll guide you through what to do if you get hit on all the time because of your charm, and I have lots of really good points for you in general if you have a problem of being too sexy and charming.
I use my sarcasm really much in this show, and my dark satire humor.

Before leaving San Juan Island, we decided to check out the sculpture garden.
It was pretty cool, but crazy to see how much some of those statues were selling for. Some were over 20k.
My absolute favorite was this mirror on an easel. It made for hilarity.
And the best pic all year…. I look like a hobo. Look at my hair.
Great times!!
Thanks San Juans for a beautiful weekend with beautiful weather!

ABC Good Morning America reporter Tom Llamas has decided that the term "anchor baby" is offensive and went after Republican frontrunner Donald Trump saying "people find that term offensive," to which Trump responded, "you mean it's not politically correct."
Breitbart John Nolte reported that with his hysterical gotcha attacks over the use of the innocuous term "anchor baby," ABC News reporter Tom Llamas has become the left-wing network's race-baiter-in-chief this week. On top of being a race-baiting grandstander, Llamas has exposed himself as a propagandist. No one working for ABC News has heckled Hillary Clinton in this way,
Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, one of two GOP candidates Llamas has attacked, took to Twitter Wednesday night to publicly call out Llamas out for his dishonest reporting, and in doing so showed once again why he is the frontrunner:
Here's "journalist" Llamas telling Trump how to speak…
Here's "journalist" Llamas telling Jeb Bush how to speak…
Llamas does not see his job as reporting the news but to create news, and only does so by hurling left-wing talking points that create sound bites for Hillary Clinton.
We are deep in fascist "1984" territory here. If you'll note, Llamas did not have an alternative term foir "anchor baby." This isn't about offense, it is about killing the debate, aiding Democrats, and narcissistic grandstanding.
Democrats sure got it good.

Children, teachers and parents take action against bullying
It's Anti-Bullying Week 2017 and this year's theme is 'All different, All equal'.The theme was chosen by the Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA) after consultation. It said: "Young people made it very clear that they didn't want people standing out as the 'different ones'. They wanted to celebrate that we are all different." The week shines a spotlight on bullying and encourages all children, teachers and parents to take action against bullying throughout the year. It aims to:
- Empower children and young people to celebrate what makes them, and others, unique.
- Help children and young people to understand how important it is that every child feels valued and included in school, able to be themselves, without fear of bullying.
- Encourage parents and carers to work with their school and talk to their children about bullying, difference and equality.
- Enable teachers and school support staff to celebrate what makes us 'all different, all equal' by celebrating difference and equality and taking individual and collective action to prevent bullying, creating safe environments where children can be themselves.

CHICAGO -- University of Chicago senior women's track & field athlete Paige Peltzer (Atchison, Kan./ Atchison), sophomore pitcher Claude Lockhart (Shreveport, La./ Loyola), and sophomore designated hitter Ricky Troncelliti (Norristown, Pa./ Haverford School) have been selected as the University Athletic Association Athletes of the Week in their respective sports.
Peltzer cleared a height of 1.67 meters in the high jump -- currently the 11th-best mark in the NCAA Division III – at the DePaul University Invitational this past Saturday.
Lockhart posted a 2-0 record with a 1.32 ERA in two starts last week. He allowed six hits and one earned run over 6.2 innings in a 6-3 victory over Wabash College (Apr. 17), then tossed a three-hit complete game in the Maroons' 7-1 win over Washington (Mo.) University (Apr. 22).
Troncelliti batted .500 (11-for-22) with a home run and eight RBIs as the Maroons won five of six games last week. After going 2-for-3 with three runs and three RBIs in a 12-7 win over North Central College (Apr. 18), he had eight hits in 15 at-bats as the Maroons took three of four games from Washington-St. Louis. He had at least two hits in each contest.
Peltzer, Lockhart, and Troncelliti each claimed their first career UAA Athlete of the Week citation.

The four pillars of BIM
We now introduce you to the 'four pillars of BIM'.
You will investigate how these are successfully integrated into BIM projects.
When considering BIM, it can be helpful to consider these four significant factors:
- Policy
- People
- Technology
- Process
It is argued that only when these elements are integrated and working harmoniously that the true value of BIM will be experienced.
If all four elements are fully considered within BIM adoption, it sets the initiative for a solid foundation of understanding.
Knowledge of Building Information Modelling (BIM) within the construction industry is on the rise. The yearly reports produced by the National Building Standards (NBS) are a valuable resource for learning more about the rate of BIM adoption, both within a UK and international context.
For instance, NBS (2012, 2013) reports demonstrate the decrease in number of construction workers not aware of BIM, with 6% unaware in 2013, down from around 40% in 2011. This shows the rising knowledge of BIM, and possibly, its usefulness.
Other statistics show that in the earlier years, about 74% of the industry was not clear enough on what BIM was. Yet, by 2016 about 54% were aware of and using BIM, with 42% at least aware of it, and just 4% neither aware of nor using BIM (NBS 2016). Meaning knowledge of BIM has risen over time.
Regarding the future of BIM, 73% of participants agreed with the statement 'BIM is the future of project information'.
These statistics indicate that although some gaps are still present, knowledge of BIM continues to rise.
Realistically, awareness is not the only reason for adopting BIM in the AEC. However, awareness can influence policy changes to adopt BIM where necessary. In the UK for instance, awareness of BIM and its benefits has led to the government calling for BIM to be mandatory for public projects. This policy change has influenced the private sector to follow suit.
A core feature of working within a BIM environment is the drive towards encouraging multidisciplinary collaboration from the outset of a project. The benefits of all disciplines working together within one core BIM environment are substantial.
A major issue experienced within non-BIM design processes is the matter of conflicting design issues. The ethos of having a core central BIM model is to facilitate a smoother transition through these issues by identifying conflicts earlier on in the project stages, thus reducing the negative effects on schedule and costs.
From an early stage, projects can be visualised, allowing client and designer alike to gain an appreciation of how the design is going to materialise. This allows for important design decisions and alterations to be made at an early stage, when the cost repercussions are small or even zero.
BIM technology has, over the years, helped in carrying out all the pre-construction design analysis and interrogation, resulting in reduction of conflicts and changes made during the construction phase that usually have a detrimental effect on a project in terms of wastage, quality, time and costs.
At the same time, the stringent energy analysis that can take place in the early stages of a BIM project aims to improve the performance of a project in regards to low-impact design.
Finally, post project completion, a high-quality BIM model can continue to be utilised by an asset team to assist in the management of their assets in an efficient and environmentally conscious manner.
The efficiency of the effects of changes within documentation or design is greatly improved as any changes made that are linked to the main BIM package will automatically be carried through and updated to all corresponding linked documents and models.
Having the design process completed within a BIM environment using a core 3D BIM model at the centre of the project can lead to multiple benefits later in the process.
The models can be analysed, allowing for a multitude of model interrogations to take place, including energy analysis, structural analysis, accurate schedules, and quantity take-offs.
It is argued that using BIM processes for building projects will improve energy efficiency, improve scheduling, facilitate a reduction of waste, and facilitate a reduction in costs.
Your task
Consider the importance of all four pillars.
Investigate examples of projects incorporating BIM, or studies of the implementation of BIM in your own region of the world.
Are all four pillars successfully implemented? Are they integrated and working harmoniously?

Egypt was known anciently as KEME, which means literary black Land referring to the rich black soil on both Sides of the Nile. because the Nile was flooding because of rains at its source far to the south in Ethiopia leaving silt (sediments) on its banks and made that part fertile land.
The Nile was not only just the cause and inspiration of ancient Egyptian culture, it was also the unifying thread running through Egyptian history. therefore It witnessed royal progresses, the transport of Obelisks, the processions of gods,besides that the Nile helped the movements of armies.
Egypt was divided into two parts: Upper Egypt (south) and Lower Egypt (north) because the Nile flows from south to north that's why they are named this way.

Kii Launches Dedicated Platform Providing Backend Capabilities for Apps and Connected Devices
|Richard Harris in Enterprise Monday, September 22, 2014
Kii, an end-to-end mobile backend provider, is launching a dedicated platform to provide backend capabilities for apps and connected devices through available through a company's own datacenters or as a hosted cloud service with Kii.
The platform will enable businesses to create and run mobile apps, while maintaining control over app deployment, delivery and data. Functionality includes:
- Supports organizations with regulatory or policy guidelines that do not permit off-premise hosting.
- Supports businesses as they grow by offering speed, security and flexibility. Customers can start on a multi-tenant cloud, which can serve as a Launchpad, and then move to dedicated instances as they scale, or their customers and partners require them to run apps on-premises.
- Ensures through the environment isolation that platform resources are dedicated to a specific customer and not shared across customers, providing scale, reliability and performance.
With Kii's dedicated platform, both multi-tenant and dedicated options are fully managed, comprising of the same backend "stack." This includes enterprise-grade features and development tools such as cloud storage, push notifications, user management, analytics, A/B testing and user acquisition services. In addition, customers can customize their dedicated deployment to align with their company's brand to maintain consistency.

A Supreme Court argument about making sure that death row inmates have adequate resources to challenge their sentences took a semantic turn on Monday, with the justices trying to make sense of the differences between two similar phrases.
On the one hand, a federal law says that death row inmates are entitled to money for investigators and experts if judges find it "reasonably necessary" for their defense. On the other hand, the federal appeals court in New Orleans, which oversees cases from Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, says there must a "substantial need" for the money.
The appeals court denied funds to a Texas inmate, Carlos Manuel Ayestas. He challenged the denial, saying the court had set the bar too high.
But Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. said the two phrases meant the same thing.
"What is the difference between 'reasonably necessary' and 'substantial need'?" he asked. "I have been racking my brain trying to think of something that it is reasonably necessary for me to obtain but as to which I do not have the substantial need. And I can't think of an example."
Several of the court's more liberal justices disagreed, saying that "reasonably necessary" connoted matters that a reasonable lawyer with finite resources would try to pursue. The caveat about "finite resources," Justice Elena Kagan explained, was "just to make sure that, like a reasonable attorney for Bill Gates, would scour the earth and not care about it."
Justice Alito responded that lawyers in capital cases might want to pursue many things. "A reasonable attorney with finite means might devote those finite means to an avenue of investigation that has very, very little chance of success because there is so much at stake," he said. "So I don't understand how that can be the test here, where the statutory language is 'reasonably necessary.'"
Mr. Ayestas was convicted of murdering Santiaga Paneque, 67, after invading her home in Houston. There was little doubt about his guilt, but his trial lawyers may have had some hope of persuading the jury to spare his life.
"This is a horrendous murder," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said. "The only chance in the world that this defendant has is if he can put on a mitigation case and convince one juror he shouldn't get the death penalty. There is nothing else."
But Lee Kovarsky, a lawyer for Mr. Ayestas, said his trial lawyers had done almost nothing to develop a mitigation case notwithstanding indications that he had serious mental health problems. The defense presentation concerning mitigating factors at the sentencing phase "lasted two minutes," Mr. Kovarsky said.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked Scott A. Keller, the solicitor general of Texas, whether Mr. Ayestas's trial lawyers had done an adequate job. "How can you stand here and say that this kind of investigation meets any constitutional standard?" she asked.
Mr. Keller said the trial lawyers had done some work, notably by trying to contact Mr. Ayestas's family in Honduras.
Justice Ginsburg said that was not enough. "There are many, many sources other than asking family members if you're looking into mental health," she said. "There's school records. There's criminal justice records."
Justice Stephen G. Breyer said there was an easy way to dispose of the case, by instructing the appeals court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, to use the "reasonably necessary" standard, the phrase in the federal law.
"End of case," Justice Breyer said. "This circuit, you are to follow the statute. And that's it. Goodbye."

Dear forum member,
we just purchasing vacuum dehydration Unit (VDU), to reduce the reduce the concentration of water in our contaminated lube oil tank.
It was running very well to remove water.
and then i stop it.
when we want to start again, now the problem come.
The VDU is not removing water.
by inspecting the vacuum reading, and oil temp, We are sure that we running it above the boiling point of water (-26 inHg / 60 C)
I call vendor,
he told me that the coalescer (inside of the vacuum chamber) is dirty. I need to clean it.
Hohoho,... i just use it for a week only.
do i need to clean the coalescer always on the time of start up?
he said "yes"
Do you face the same problem with your VDU?
