Custom Made Orthotics
Orthotics are shoe inserts that correct an abnormal, or irregular, walking pattern. Generally called arch supports, orthotics allow people to stand, walk, and run more efficiently and comfortably.
Podiatrists sometimes prescribe orthotic devices to correct an abnormal walk, or gait, and often for patients following surgery.
Orthotic devices come in many shapes and sizes, and materials and fall into three main categories: those designed to change foot function, are primarily protective in nature, and those that combine functional control and protection.
Rigid orthotics
The so-called rigid orthotic device, designed to control function, is often composed a firm material such as plastic or carbon fiber, and is used primarily for walking or dress shoes. Such orthotics are made from a mold after a podiatrist takes a plaster cast or other kind of image of the foot.
Rigid orthotics control motion in two major foot joints that lie directly below the ankle joint and may improve or eliminate strains, aches, and pains in the legs, thighs, and lower back.
Soft orthotics
Soft orthotics usually absorb shock, increase balance, and take pressure off uncomfortable or sore spots. They are typically made up of soft, cushy materials. Soft orthoses also are worn against the sole of the foot, extending from the heel past the ball of the foot, including the toes. Such orthotics are also made from a mold after a podiatrist takes a plaster cast or other kind of image of the foot.
Soft orthoses are usually effective for diabetic, arthritic, and deformed feet.
Semi-rigid orthotics
Semi-rigid orthotics provide foot balance for walking or participating in sports. Sometimes, different sports call for different kinds of semi-rigid orthotics. The typical semi-rigid orthotic is made up of layers of soft material, reinforced with more rigid materials.
Children are sometimes given orthoses to treat flatfoot or intoeing or outtoeing disorders. Athletes often are given orthoses to mitigate pain while they train and compete.
While over-the-counter orthotic inserts help people with mild symptoms, they normally cannot correct the wide range of symptoms that prescription foot orthoses can since they are made to fit a person with an "average" foot shape.
Custom Orthotics
Answers to Commonly Asked Questions
What are Custom Orthotics?
A Precision custom orthotic is an insert in your shoe which rebalances your foot, legs and lower back in an effort to correct your foot, leg or back pain. It is made by a foot specialist who takes a custom mold of your foot in a corrected position. The mold is sent to a professional lab and scanned by a computer. The doctor writes a specific prescription based on your diagnosis, foot type, and clinical evaluation. All information is input into the computer and a device is manufactured with computer assistance.
Do Custom Orthotics always work?
Orthotics are an integral part of your treatment plan. They work well for most foot and ankle conditions 80% of the time. They often alleviate pain, help prevent the need for surgery and play a vital role in the prevention of recurrent pain. Orthotics are made out of many different materials and what works well for you may be different than what works well for your brother or sister.
Will I need to always use the Orthotics even after my pain is resolved?
Orthotics are often very helpful in preventing recurrence. Just like a pair of eyeglasses. Orthotics correct your foot or ankle deformity, but if you remove them you still have an unstable foot that is prone to injury.
What is the difference between a custom device and an orthotic I could buy in a store or pharmacy? Most store bought devices are designed for people with flat feet and do not support your foot in a corrected position. They are helpful to try as an initial simple method of treatment. These devices usually do not fit well in dress shoes or sandals and may be uncomfortable because they do not conform to the unique shape of your foot.
Can I wear my orthotics all day when I first receive them?
The custom orthotics are carefully designed to improve your body movement and function. It takes time for your body to adapt to these changes. Mild aches or discomfort may occur in your feet, ankles, legs, hips, or back. These symptoms will gradually disappear as your body adapts over a 2-6 week period.
Do I need more than one set of Orthotics?
Orthotics are either designed for lace up style dress or tennis shoes, dress shoes, or sandals. Many people order additional sets of orthotics that are specifically designed for other shoes. We typically recommend to make the initial pair for the shoes you wear the most. After you get used to them, you may want to consider ordering additional pairs for other types of shoes or sandals. The lab stores the original image and prescription on their computer, therefore we do not need to take an additional cast of your foot which reduces the overall cost for additional pairs.
How long will my Orthotics last?
Most devices will last 2-3 years depending upon the material. The main portion of the device is called the shell and its durability depends upon the material it is made of. A softer material may only last 6-12 months whereas a graphite material may last 5 years. We often place a soft topcover on many of our orthotics to provide more comfort in shoes. This soft cover is usually refurbished once a year. If a child is still growing the orthotics will need to be replaced once their foot grows
1.5-2 shoe sizes.
Does my insurance cover all Orthotics?
Most PPO insurance plans cover orthotics one pair per year. You may have a deductible which needs to be met first before the insurance pays 70%, 80% or 100%. Most HMO plans cover orthotics if you are diabetic but only some will cover them if you are not. Orthotics typically cost $400.00 if you need to self pay and $300.00 for additional pairs including the sandals.
How do I start using my new Orthotics?
Like a pair of shoes, there is a left and right orthotic. Place the orthotic in the correct shoe. Make sure it fits securely in the heel. You may need to remove the insoles from your lace up shoes before putting in the orthotic. Wear your orthotic 1-2 hours of walking or standing time the first few days. Add an hour each day until you can comfortably wear your orthotics all day. It typically takes 2-3 weeks to break them in.
If the device causes pinching, calluses, or blisters, stop wearing them and call us for a follow up appointment.
How do I care for my new Orthotics?
Never leave them in wet shoes. If they get wet, remove them from your shoes and air-dry. Do not expose them to heat (dryer, heater, fireplace, etc.) Always wear socks or stockings. If the orthotic squeaks while you walk, place talcum powder in your shoe under the device. Always bring your othotics when purchasing shoes.
Are all custom orthotics the same?
At the Precision Foot and Ankle Center we provide the most technologically advanced type of custom device. We specialize in the biomechanical evaluation, design and prescription writing of custom orthotics. Many foot and prosthetic specialists have limited training in these methods and will often make their orthotics by hand in an old-fashioned lab. Our orthotics are the most precise type of device available and will give you the best opportunity to alleviate your pain and prevent recurrence.

As we go into this New Year of 2008 together, what is more appropriate than to remember the message of hope that we have encountered in 2007 in so many variations? An encounter of this sort that stands out more than others was the visit of Rev. Marlin Vis with our congregation on Dec 9th. At the same time, we were privileged to host a delegation from First Reformed Church in Astoria, Queens. Astoria's Pastor Rev. Dwayne Jackson gave us a very encouraging sermon that day. Together, we welcomed Marlin Vis.
Marlin is a missionary of our denomination, the Reformed Church in America. He and his wife, Sally, live in Jerusalem where they work side by side with Palestinian Christians. In Jerusalem, Marlin and Sally embody the care and concern of North American Christians for their brothers and sisters in Israel and Palestine.
Marlin's presentation was most interesting and was much talked about in the days that followed. As we had heard from our Lebanese friend Rev. George Bitar earlier this year, the number of Christians in this troubled part of the world is declining rapidly. In Palestine/Israel, there were between 18% and 20% in 1949.Today that number is between 1.5% and 1.8% of the total population.
Consequently, Marlin spoke to us of people forced to do everything in their power to provide an overseas future for their children because there is so little future in the land. He spoke of a middle class seeing their homes taken by others because they are now located in the wrong neighborhood of town. He told the story of family fathers facing the ugly crossroads of either saying "I forgive them†or "I will kill themâ€. And he talked of a people whose potential for hope has been exhausted because they have learned that they will be hurt again.
Yet Marlin did not end with these very difficult experiences. He moved on to convey to us a warning he had received from the Melkite Bishop Elias Chacour when first arriving in Jerusalem: "If you have come to take sides, don't come. We have already too many of those here. But you are welcome if you want to serve as a bridge. We need people like you.â€
Marlin then went on and shared with us that the Palestinian Christian's contribution to society is enormous: in the West Bank, for example, they are 1.5% of the total population. Yet they educate 25% of all children in the West Bank in their schools. These Christian schools are very special, because they are relatively free from political bias. Their textbooks tell Palestinian children of the Holocaust that brought many of the ancestors of their Jewish classmates to Israel. Likewise they tell the Jewish children that their Palestinian classmates are not just "Arabs†but belong to a people with its own identity and its own need for a home land.
What could be more important than to be a bridge when cultures, political agendas, and religious biases clash the way they do in Israel and Palestine? We learned so much through Marlin's words that day, and our interest and care for this particular region of our planet has certainly increased.
But we also learned something about ourselves. Bridges need to be built in our communities as well. The Sunday morning de-facto segregation of our worshippers remains largely unchallenged; the interfaith movement is still in its infancy; special needs people live separate and oftentimes shunned lives; and year after year our rotating Homeless Men's Shelter gives us glimpses into a very different world. Bridges are needed here as well. As we now proceed into this New Year of 2008, I invite you to pray with me for God's Holy Spirit. May God continue to use us as a good and sturdy bridge here in the city of New Brunswick!
In closing, I would like to thank the two committees of our church that were most involved in preparing for the events on Dec 9th, Christian Education under the leadership of Lauren Bernhofer and Invitation & Outreach chaired by Joan Fekete. Thank you to all of you who supplied wonderful meals and served our guests.

Released Midnight 11 February 2014 GMT
International peacekeepers have failed to prevent the ethnic cleansing of Muslim civilians in the western part of the Central African Republic, Amnesty International said in a report issued today.
To protect the country's remaining Muslim communities, international peacekeeping forces must break the control of anti-balaka militias and station sufficient troops in towns where Muslims are threatened.
"Anti-balaka militias are carrying out violent attacks in an effort to ethnically cleanse Muslims in the Central African Republic," said Joanne Mariner, senior crisis response adviser at Amnesty International.
"The result is a Muslim exodus of historic proportions."
Amnesty International criticized the international community's tepid response to the crisis, noting that international peacekeeping troops have been reluctant to challenge anti-balaka militias, and slow to protect the threatened Muslim minority.

Slot machines have all that can keep you coming back to casinos again and again. Flashy colors, amazing sound system and above all easy payouts, give a feeling of exhilaration which is not so easily available elsewhere. But, if you are a serious punter, you can take note of some strategies. And the first and the most effective strategy lies in – picking the right slot machine.
Picking the right slot machine made easy
You must look for these things in the slot machine before making it your companion on your visit to the casino, both online and offline.
- Pick the slot that proposes small size jackpots
Going for higher amount jackpots like the million dollar ones is not worth the effort. You will find it extremely difficult or almost impossible to crack such high valued jackpot as it is made too complicated. Thus, have a gala time by picking the small size jackpot machines and keep adding to your earnings.
- High amount payouts
Slot machines that have high amount payouts offer you easy way of earning bucks. It is because the high worth slot machines have payouts chances close to 90%, as against 80-85% common with the low value payout machines.
- Check out the number of visitors
Online casinos have real time statistics of action happening at each of the slot machines. Thus, take a look at the slot games that are played the most and have the most regular hits. This is where the chances of winning bucks are fairly high.
If you are going to an offline casino for the first time, try to locate remotely located slot machines. These machines are placed to not attract customers so that casino's liabilities arising due to payouts can be minimized. Try the best slot games at Online Casino Malaysia while sitting at home.

Java's been on this trip about papers recently – running out of his old faithful Zig-Zags a few days ago brought about a decided change in vibe. Old habits die hard, I guess!
There he was, mumbling to himself whilst rummaging in the drawer that contains his stash of paraphernalia, cussing beneath his breath and looking perturbed. It was Friday evening and I'd guessed he was getting set for the night out with his mates. I knew that The Cherry Lady was back from one of her trips abroad and had made contact and also The Sandman was visiting from LA, so anything was possible with that combination. Add Alice and Mr. Zippy to the list and the combination could well be lethal, as they had previous records of getting into all sorts of stuff – most of which were pretty interesting – looking back at the experiences, that is, but not quite so attractive at the time. He also mentioned that The Sandman had brought back with him some very interesting substances of a very high quality, so anything was possible.
Anyway, there he was, decidedly disturbed.
Heeey maaan, you see any of dose Zig-Zags lyin aroun? I be tinkin dat dere be at least a spare couple of dose packs somewhere, but godaaam maaan, it shure as sheeet ain't here.
So I walk over and check out the drawer and there's maybe twenty packs of assorted papers in there. Rizla Blues, Rizla Reds (British) – regular and large sizes, Bambu (French), Rass (European), E-Z-Widers and Drum (American), OCB 'premium' (French), aLeda – 'king size' and aLedinaho – regular (both Brazilian 'ecologicamente' transparent paper made out of biodegradable cellulose). There were some others as well – it's not exactly like he's out of material – so I'm not entirely sure of what the apparent crisis is, and tell him so.
Shheeet maan, I be usin dese papers fo soo fuckin long, it feel strange to do dose rollups wit anyting else. All dat odder sheet in dere? Dat be what folk be turnin me onto and maybe I try dem a couple a times, but always go back to ma Ziggies. It be blowin ma mind how I be lettin tings slip an not be prepared wit som spare packs. Shheeet! Dat Cher or dat Sandman wouldda brought som wit dem when dey be gettin back dis time aroun and now I be havin to wait an in da meantime be havin to use som of dis odder wrappers. Fuuurr..k!
And he got right back into his mood, which just got me to thinking about how there could be famine in the middle of a feast.

Uber service in Saudi Arabia has allowed for provisions for women drivers to opt for women passengers. This new feature is known as Women Preferred View. The company said that they had conducted months of research in finding out the concerns and preferences of women drivers.
The ban on women driving in Saudi Arabia was removed in last June. Women face a lot of restrictions in Saudi Arabia. Mixing of women and men in public events is banned however some restrictions have been eased recently. Uber has said that in the recent survey conducted by them it was found that most of the women drivers were interested in women passengers only. The Uber Middle East and North Africa general manager, Abdellatif Waked said that this new feature will be opening up new opportunities for women as Uber drivers, while still respecting the cultural norms. The company also said that presently it has not thought about rolling out this feature to their other markets.
In view of the safety-related incidents, lawmakers and customers in US are demanding more provisions for ensuring safety. Uber spokesperson for the Middle East, Shaden Abdellatif said that this new women centered approach was designed especially for Saudi Arabia as the women here were going through an important cultural transformation. The MoveOn.org was another effort with a view to enable passengers to select women drivers. The executive vice president at the National Network to End Domestic Violence and safety at Uber, Cindy Southworth said that it was difficult to execute this feature as confirming the identities of the drivers by the companies is easy however the same is not easy with the passengers. However she also said that being able to select the gender of one's driver was a welcoming task.
In the recent years Uber had faced severe criticisms with regard to the sexual abuses of its passengers. Uber is expected to release a safety-transparency report this year which will contain sexual abuse claims and other such incidents.

TROY — Being a walk-on to a college football team in Ohio isn't the easiest path to take to becoming a national champion; however, that is exactly what pre-pharmacy major Chris Fon did to become a nose tackle for the 2014 National Champion football team at The Ohio State University.
In fact, Fong has three rings to prove his collegiate success: Big Ten, Sugar Bowl and the National Championship. Fong regaled Troy Rotarians with his personal football history during the club's weekly meeting July 7.
While many college-level football players come from many years of practice throwing the pigskin, Fong's athletic journey actually began on the wrestling mats in his freshman and sophomore years at OSU. He played club football his junior year, and it was then that his club coach encouraged him to try out for the team in August 2014. The result is college football history, culminating with the team's big win on January 12, 2015 at AT&T stadium when the OSU Buckeyes rolled over the Oregon Ducks 42-20 in the inaugural College Football Playoff. During the Summer break, Fong is part of the 7:45 a.m. daily training camp group at school. His day begins with breakfast and goes on to include workouts, conditioning, stretching and a rewarding tub soak. All the hard work is paying off. When the 2015-16 training camp begins this fall, Fong will be the third string nose tackle on the current depth chart.
The championship run was, in Fong's words, phenomenal.
Troy Rotary Club members are always looking for new topics to share at weekly meetings. If you are interested in presenting your business or organization, visit the Troy Rotary Web site at www.troyohiorotary.org and submit your information in the "Contact Us" section. Troy Rotary is a member-involved, goal-oriented service club focused on socio/economic issues that have an impact both locally and internationally.

For Home or Small/Youth Groups
Bleakwail was founded in spring 2000 by John and Jacob. Jeremiah and Samuel were recruited almost immediately to stringed instruments, and thus "our imaginary band" (the original name) was established. Soon after the forming, John had to cut his hair off and enter military service for a year. Meanwhile, Jeremiah, Samuel and Jacob had a meeting at which they decided the music style (gothic black metal or something like that, it was originally John's idea to play black-ish metal) and the first name for the band. It was "Schattenjger", originating from the computer game "Gabriel Knight". Samuel wrote the first song, "Fleeting shadow" which they trained at their local Pentecostal church with a drum machine. After a slow start, a few more songs were written, of which at least two were discarded as too crappy songs. Among the surviving ones were "A bleak wail" and "Liberation from death". The band's name was a big question: they weren't too happy with "Schattenjger", and invented a new name or a few in almost every rehearsal. Among the more sensible choices were "Thornclad" (there was a secular swedish death metal band with the same name), "Heirloom" (sounded like a power metal band's name, ecch) and "Mediator" (I bet there is or was a new media company with similar name). Finally they settled with "Bleakwail". Eventually Bleakwail entered Studio Hemma to record their first recording, the "Dome" (since it was not a demo, but rather a recording for only internal use and perhaps to a few selected friends). It contained two songs: "Fleeting shadow" and "Metal symphony, part II", the latter one being actually a Jeremiah's dark ambient sideproject's fruit. Because of the drum machine and lousy guitar sounds "Fleeting shadow" didn't satisfy the band very much, but their friend received it with almost overwhelming enthusiasm. The first gig was booked over a year after founding of the band, a while before John returned from the army: Halloween metal party 2001. They had less than four months to practise the songs with John and still lacked a second guitarist. Sir Arthur had an experimental visit as a second guitarist, but it didn't work out very well. In their grieve they decided to ask the infamous Kreivi Peevelinsilpoja to do the second guitar, to which he agreed almost suspiciously gladly. The gig was played, containing five songs: "Liberation from death", "Songs of sorrow", "A bleak wail", "Fleeting shadow" and "Passionate peace". Thus began the career of Bleakwail

Chancellor Philip Hammond used the Spring Statement to confirm the next business rates revaluation will take place in 2021, a year earlier than planned.
The move follows Hammond's announcement in Autumn Budget 2017 that business rates revaluation would run on a three-year cycle, rather than revaluations every five years.
Previously pencilled for 2022, the 2021 revaluation will be followed in 2024. More frequent revaluations reflect the rental value of properties more accurately, and can help prevent dramatic increases in business rates bills.
Rateable values for the 2017 cycle were based on the rental values of properties in 2015, reflecting five years of market activity since the previous revaluation in 2010.
UK business owners are set for an £845m hike in business rates in April, and industry groups – speaking for independent music venues to small retail businesses – have demanded greater protection for small business owners across the country.
This week, a collective from the UK's hospitality sector wrote to the chancellor demanding reform to "soaring business rates" threatening to kill off growing numbers of small restaurant businesses.
Fairer taxation of digital economy
Hammond also hinted towards how the government would level the tax playing field in the digital economy.
He said: "In the autumn, we published a paper on taxing large digital businesses in the global economy and today we follow up with a publication that explores potential solutions."
The latest paper details plans to tackle VAT fraud by overseas online sellers, as well as further solutions to ensure multinational digital businesses pay a fair share of tax.
Digital payment methods were also acknowledged, and Hammond announced a consultation to gather the requirements of both business owners dependent on digital payments and consumers relying on cash.
Late payments
The chancellor made an additional pledge in support of small business owners by putting late payments under the spotlight.
He reassured that government would consider ways smaller suppliers could be supported, and claimed the Conservative Party continued to be "the part of small business and the champion of the entrepreneur".
Welcoming Hammond's pledge, Mike Cherry, chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), said: "The chancellor is absolutely right to commit the government to eliminate the scourge of late payments, which place cruel financial pressure on more than eight out of ten small businesses.
"The poor treatment of smaller suppliers by many bigger companies is both unacceptable and holds back growth and productivity."
Broadband connectivity
The Spring Statement was also used to allocate the first wave of funding for the government's £190m Challenge Fund – a fund announced in the Autumn Budget 2017 to deliver full-fibre broadband to homes and businesses across the UK.
Hammond confirmed that the first round would see investment of £95m into 13 regional areas to roll-out superfast connectivity.

Europa Entertainment & Activities
Europa offers quite sophisticated theme cruises -- for instance, the Ocean Sun Classical Music Festival, which occurred on our cruise, or "the magic of Asian culture" or "artists of the German Foundation Musikleben." The Ocean Sun Classical Music Festival, an annual event, was first-rate, with performances and discourses from numerous internationally known musicians, such as Julian Lloyd Webber.
Otherwise, entertainment was a bit on the dated side. A troupe of dancers did some interpretive performances, a pianist played a range of classical and romantic tunes, a folk band specialized in German music, and a variety of entertainment acts, which change every itinerary, sing and dance.
Evening pool parties with live music were a good idea in theory, but the temperatures were a bit brisk at night in Norway's fjords.
The Europa lounge is the ship's main theater and can seat all passengers at a single showing. Secondary venues include the Belvedere Lounge and the little-used Clipper Lounge.
Destination lectures are also available. On our trip, the bilingual lecturers talked about aspects of Norwegian history and culture, though the information was fairly superficial. We did appreciate the occasional destination lecture, piped in to the pool area, during daylight sailaways and ventures into tiny fjords.
Other enrichment-oriented activities include dance workshops, bingo, card games, art classes in a specially dedicated craft room called the Hobbyraum, formal bridge and a really intriguing activity hosted by writing instructors on the art of storytelling (alas, only available to German-speaking passengers).
Europa's Sansibar had an alcove for dancing (and nights featured either live music or a DJ), which served as the ship's disco, but it was rare that people actually did boogie; most just hang out talking and watching the world pass by through the open-air setting. It was our favorite post-dinner destination, aside from the fact cigar-smoking was allowed.
Interestingly, there is no casino. (There was one originally, but it was so underused it was removed.)

The boots are VERY narrow - even putting them on my leg was very difficult for me. The front of the shoe is very pointed and squeezes the toes so that it is not comfortable to wear. I will not say in quality - since I can't wear them.

The BBPA and its members are serious about addressing any issues that have an adverse effect on our environment. We work on a range of areas to improve efficiencies and to help ensure a sustainable future for all.
21 August 2019

21 August 2019
Total CO2 emissions from the UK's brewing industry have fallen by 42% in the last decade (2008 to 2018) – a reduction of 202,952 tonnes – according to new research conducted by the British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA). The research also found that the energy used to brew a pint of beer in the UK is now 20% less than it was in 2008. The water required to brew one hectolitre of beer has also reduced to an average of just 3.5 hectolitres. Separate data from the Environment Agency acquired by the BBPA also found that UK breweries now recover and re-use 98% of their waste.[1] The research, published in a new report by the BBPA, called 'Brewing Green: A Greener Future for British Beer & Pubs', comes as the UK's brewing and pub sectors begin setting their next sustainability targets to meet the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. 100% of pub operators surveyed by the BBPA for the report stated that reducing food waste and improving energy efficiency was important or very important to them. When it came to food waste, all pubs surveyed said they had trained staff on how to reduce food waste, with 86% now offering smaller portion sizes to customers to help further reduce waste. When it came to improving energy efficiency, 83% of pub operators surveyed said they used insulated cellars in their pubs to reduce energy consumption. 71% also said they had smart meters installed in their pubs. Brigid Simmonds, Chief Executive of British Beer & Pub Association, said: "Britain's brewing and pub sectors are amongst the oldest and most revered around the world. To maintain this reputation, we must brew our beer and serve our pub-goers in a sustainable way. "From reducing emissions to lowering waste, Britain's breweries and pubs are determined to be world leaders in environmental sustainability and meet the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals." Kristin Wolfe, Legal & Corporate Affairs Director at Molson Coors UK & Ireland, said: "As brewers we have an important role to play in helping to create a more sustainable future. We have always taken seriously our responsibility to brew sustainably and Our Beer Print 2025 sustainability targets are a testament to that commitment. We recently updated these targets with our new global packaging goals to reduce plastic in our packaging, which include our pledge in the UK to remove plastic from the packaging of our Carling and Coors Light brands by April 2021. "We have to take a truly comprehensive and ambitious approach to sustainability. We're committing to achieving science-based targets to lower absolute carbon emissions by 50% within our own operations and by 20% across our value chain by 2025, which are aggressive enough to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius pathway and the Paris Climate Agreement." David Paterson, Corporate Affairs Director, HEINEKEN, said: "We embed sustainability across our entire value chain at HEINEKEN, from growing the barley and apples that go into our beers and ciders, to working with our customers and licensees to serve a great quality pint as sustainably as possible. We're working hard to reduce CO2, water and single use plastics in our own business. However, we're also passionate about helping our customers to improve their sustainability and that's where SmartDispense is making a real impact for licensees. In five years, its saved 72m pints of water and 207 tonnes of CO2, whilst being a part of the original closed loop system - serving a pint from a keg into a glass." Paula Lindenberg, UK President, Budweiser Brewing Group UK & I, said: "Taking a sustainable approach to brewing is critical for the future of our sector. That's why sustainability is not just a part of our business – it is our business. "At Budweiser Brewing Group UK&I, sustainability is embedded across everything we do; from our farmers to our packaging, supply chain and operations. At our breweries, our investment in green technology has helped us to reduce our energy usage by 10% over the past year, while water consumption is down 13% compared to five years ago. "We strive to help make the world a better place and we understand that it starts with us." Dr Andy Wood, CEO of Adnams, said: "Sustainability has been in our DNA for decades and is ingrained in everything we do. As one of the most energy efficient breweries and distilleries in the UK, we enjoy learning from others and also sharing our sustainability stories to educate and inspire both ourselves and others to make changes. The trust of our customers, in what we do and how we do it, means so much. Our sustainability stories are real, worthwhile and all about doing the right thing." Simon Townsend, Ei Group Chief Executive, said: "As the UK's largest pub company, becoming a greener business is of fundamental importance to us and we have introduced a number of tailored initiatives across our managed and leased and tenanted divisions to reduce our environmental impact. "As consumer focus on sustainable purchasing and responsible business increases, so does our continual pursuit of reducing energy consumption across our estate through adopting forward-thinking green initiatives. These include offering electric car charging points in pub car parks and targeted upgrades to heating and cooling equipment in pubs."

The British Beer & Pub Association has today responded to comments made by Michael Gove, Secretary of State for the Environment, calling for an 'all-in' Deposit Return Scheme (DRS). Michael Gove has pushed the case for an 'all-in' DRS, which would be likely to include glass. The BBPA welcomes his comments that more discussion is needed with businesses, but is very concerned that including glass would be too complex and expensive for pubs and brewers alike. The BBPA has also said a UK-aligned DRS scheme would be the optimal solution, which would avoid two different DRS systems running in parallel between Scotland and the rest of the UK. Brigid Simmonds, Chief Executive of the British Beer & Pub Association, said: "The BBPA believes a UK-aligned DRS scheme for single use materials remains the optimal solution. "We have major concerns over the inclusion of glass in a DRS scheme, which would substantially increase costs that may have to be passed on to consumers. It would also make the system infinitely more complex. "We remain committed to working with the Government on a Deposit Return Scheme that works for the brewing and pub sectors across the UK. To achieve this, it is essential we are involved in plans to implement the system and more discussions between DEFRA and our sector are needed."

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among teens according to the Centers for Disease Control's Teen Driver Fact Sheet. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1,830 drivers between the ages of 15 to 20 died in motor vehicle crashes in 2017, down 4 percent from 1,916 in 2016.
Drivers between the ages of 15 to 20 accounted for 8 percent of all drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2017. In contrast, young drivers accounted for 5.4 percent of total drivers in the United States.
Twenty-four percent of drivers between the ages of 15 to 20 who were killed in motor vehicle crashes in 2017 had been drinking some amount of alcohol; 20 percent were alcohol-impaired, which is defined by a blood alcohol content of 0.08 grams per deciliter or higher. Almost half (47 percent) of the young drivers age 15 to 20 killed in crashes in 2017 where restraint use was known were unrestrained at the time of the crash.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IHHS), graduated licensing systems in U.S. states and Canadian provinces have reduced crashes substantially. Two national studies by the IIHS and the Highway Loss Data Institute found that strong restrictions on nighttime driving and teenage passengers, along with delaying licensing age, reduce fatal crashes and insurance losses for teenage drivers. In addition, the studies found that delaying permit age reduces fatal crashes and that increasing practice hours reduces insurance losses.
A 2018 study from Global Telematics at LexisNexis® Risk Solutions, a U.K. risk management consulting company, showed that drivers between the ages of 17 and 19 who were killed or seriously injured in crashes in the U.K. fell by 35 percent since 2011. (By contrast, fatalities among young drivers, age 15 to 20, rose 4.3 percent in the United States between 2011 and 2016.) The study says that drivers of all ages are 16 percent less likely to die in crashes when they use telematic insurance, known as usage-based insurance (UBI) in the United States. UBI analyzes data about a driver's behavior submitted by an electronic device in the driver's car.

Gluten Free is a big deal! Here is an example of blueberry use to give flavor and texture.
Since formation, USHBC has been actively seeking ways that highbush blueberries fit into the combat feeding programs of the US Armed Forces. Our nation operates a system to feed soldiers all over the world. This includes combat and garrison feeding. This also includes a whole range of other feeding channels including disaster assistance, aid, emergency feeding and other needs. (They also source fresh produce for the USDA Foods program).
The main provider — the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is the hub which gets the foodstuffs into the field. It works with a network of prime contractors who are qualified to produce or organize shipments and also surge supplies for major needs. This process requires long range planning, and the Armed forces is always looking for ways to make things better. With this, they operate one of the most sophisticated research and development laboratories in the world at Natick, Mass. Fort Lee in Virginia is headquarters of the Armed Forces Quartermaster Corps who do all from logistics to serving. It is also headquarters of the Award Winning Army Culinary Team.
All products sold into the US Armed forces channel must be produced and processed in the USA.
The soldiers in the field set the tempo for what is needed, and research and development fills this need and works with prime vendors or processors. In 2017 more than $200 million in rations contracts were awarded by the US Armed Forces.
How does USHBC participate? We have been members of an organization called the Research and Development Associates. This is an organization where Military, Government, Academia and Industry get together for fulfilling the needs. Each year, two conferences are held where the Armed Forces report from the field on what is needed. For example this includes nutrition, variety, specific dietary needs and performance.
Prime vendors include specialized companies who have the right equipment and capabilities for the rigorous demands of military feeding. Items must be packed in a manner to service three years at 80 degree F.
These meetings are also an opportunity to suggest new items for testing and to join research and development collaborations.
USHBC is a long standing member, so we are involved in committees, and whenever possible we recommend various blueberry formats, products and inclusions.
Categories for development:
- Meals Ready to Eat (MRE)
- First Strike Rations (FSR) High Caloric, high energy for special ops and attack
- Special meals for Religious dietary needs.
- National Guard Rations
- Humanitarian Daily Rations (HDR)
- Unitized Group Rations (UGR) For setting up field serving.
- Survival Rations
- Abandon Ship Rations
- Aircraft Survival Rations
- Performance Readiness Bard

Now that we are all inspired by Korea "Mascot Mania," let's take a look at the market.
US Shipments of highbush blueberries to South Korea: 1999 = 0 lbs. 2016 = 9.6 million lbs.
The market has cooled off since 2016 with lots of competition and political and economic instability, but we are battling back with hard work and creative promotions. Korea is still a top export destination for frozen blueberries and a legacy USHBC can be proud of.
1999 – the year before USHBC was formed
0 kg of frozen highbush blueberries shipped to South Korea.
USHBC conducted its first marketing activity in 2002 which was a blueberry health seminar run in conjunction with cherries. We started talking about the emerging new research on blueberries and antioxidants from the USA.
2004 – These are the times that try men's souls… Thomas Paine 1776
195,903 kg (431,892 lbs.) of US frozen highbush blueberries shipped to South Korea.
USHBC faithfully attended the yearly Food and Hotel Korea exposition. It was a lonely booth and the talk of the town was lemons, pomegranates and black raspberries. Koreans are very trend oriented and tend to go from one to another. One of the large Japanese trading companies sent a young staff to the show in 2007 to check out market prospects. He sent a report back to HQ that "there was little or no potential for frozen blueberries in South Korea."
2007 – The Start of Blueberry Fever
750,298 kg (1.65 million lbs.) of US frozen highbush blueberries shipped to South Korea
Late one evening we received a call from MBC, the largest TV network in Korea. Their research staff had read details on Dr. James Joseph at Tuft's University. They were planning a segment on a popular news program which runs prime time. Guest hosts would be two of the most influential food and health experts in Korea. We hustled film, background details and graphics. Note the USHBC materials in the background. Blueberries were on the way to stardom!
Between 2011 and 2015 shipments of USA frozen blueberries soared from 1.3 million kg (2.86 million lbs.) to 4.42 million kg (9.7 million lbs.)
This is a 239% increase!
Rather than retreat from the market in 2005, USHBC picked up the pace of promotions. We engaged the trade. Our excellent marketing contractor KBSI in Seoul implemented creative programs to keep the momentum going. This included our wonderful mascot, beauty related promotions and continual work with the trade.
Building the Market. We returned to Food and Hotel Korea year to year and launched activities towards the Korean food industry. Our FoodTech Ambassador, Sunyong Lee seems to know everyone in the food business and new products with blueberries soared. In 2018 new products with blueberries have risen +14.5% over 2017.
2017-2018 – Competition!
In Korea, food trends normally last 3-4 years. We have beaten the odds. Blueberries are here to stay. After a 200% gain in the past decade, there have been twists and turns in the market.
-New origin suppliers have come into the market, and have taken significant amount of the hard earned polybag market. One major supply country has a 0% duty and to the buyer this is a discount compared to the USA product that until March 14, 2018 has had duty. (was reduced in-year-to-year stages)
-Frozen mangos were the trendy fruit for the last two years and occupied a lot of our hard earned freezer space.
-South Korea has been through major political and economic turmoil in the past years with change of government, marches in the streets and a unsettling situation with the DPRK (North Korea)
Moving Forward. The key to export marketing is persistence. Our FoodTech program continues to work the Korean food industry. We find that manufacturers appreciate our frozen product. New opportunities exist in further processed ingredient solutions such as dried blueberries, purees, juice concentrate and powders.
USHBC FoodTech is on the move in Korea for the long run!

Everyone loves a mascot!
It is flashback time to our 2013 Korea Blueberry promotion. We challenged designers to create a lovable mascot for promotions. Some incredible entries and only one winner: Blue-Me!
USHBC is a member and participant in the American Commodity Distribution Association(ACDA). The organization will meet in Minneapolis, April 30 to May 1, 2018. USHBC FoodTech will be there. (schedule) This is an organization which brings together the key stakeholders of the $1.4 billion USDA Foods program.
Commodity Processing: According to USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) — over half of all commodity purchases are diverted to further processing by school districts. This means instead of receiving frozen blueberries, the school can agree with a manufacturer to receive frozen blueberries and make blueberry muffins (as an example). The school can combine with other USDA Food ingredients. It is a win-win situation for processors and schools. Currently, there are 38 USDA Foods commodity items that are available for further processing and 100 processors participating in the program. Source: USDA Food and Nutrition Service Food Distribution Fact Sheet, March 2018.
Back to ACDA: USHBC FoodTech has several objectives for attending ACDA.
- Agriculture: Representatives of other commodity organizations with interest in USDA Foods will attend. Meetings with the Agricultural committee will include commodity representatives like USHBC and also USDA staffers involved in fruit and vegetable purchases. We involve, listen, learn and report back to USHBC/NABC HQ.
- Industry: this is the main reason for USHBC FoodTech participation. Industry meetings will include commodity processors which will include some of the leading food processing companies in the USA as well as medium and small companies who specialize in commodity processing. These companies are eager to learn about commodities such as blueberries.
- Government. High level government officials from USDA will attend ACDA and the main event is the government presentations which provide the very latest information on the programs. For USHBC FoodTech, we make sure that the government knows we are there and involved in the process.
- Community. These are the recipients of USDA Foods and includes school districts, humanitarian feeding organizations and others. At these meetings, we connect with users, talk blueberries, and learn of the needs and wants of the schools. We also gain knowledge of amazing case studies of successful use of commodity foods.
Will post more when back from ACDA!
The USHBC strategic plan challenges us to go out and find new markets and uses for US Highbush Blueberries. This includes looking ahead for potentially lucrative emerging markets abroad.
Introducing Myanmar. Most of us know of this Southeast Asian country of 55 Million as "Burma." It was a former British colony and gained independence in 1948 to become Burma and then Myanmar. When we read about this country, we often think of military government and control, civil wars in remote regions based on ethnic and religious conflicts. Although there are 55 million in population, much of the wealth is at the top of the population pyramid.
The Blueberry Song: Strange-but-true, a popular pop song titled "Blueberry" was ultra-hit in 2008. Today it is one of the most requested songs at karaoke parlors all over the country!
For Market Development
Myanmar shows some interesting characteristics:
- With a former British legacy, there is still some understanding of blueberry and blueberry jams and jelly.
- Grocery chains such as City Mart are popping up in the metropolitan regions and have fresh produce displays including chilled sections. Imported blueberries are found during the year and are quite popular.
- Myanmar has a booming food industry with available raw materials and work force. This is drawing food industries from Korea and Japan.
North American Blueberry Council (NABC) has requested USDA-APHIS to begin market access work to allow fresh USA blueberries into Myanmar.
USHBC's FoodTech in the region will visit the Food Myanmar Exposition in Fall 2018.
Plans are underway for conducting market assessments of the Myanmar food industry in 2019
Somebody asked me today, what's up with Hana in HCM City? Besides publishing a blueberry technical brochure, attending foodservice promotion, and designing new booth for the upcoming Food Ingredients Vietnam (FIV). The phone rings and she was invited to present at a beverage seminar in conjunction with the show. Beverages are a big business in steamy Vietnam and we are approaching dairy and fruit juice companies with USA blueberry ingredient solutions.
Here is Hana's Presentation!
Plot: The film's plot is based on a Gujarati Play by the same name. Amitabh Bachchan plays a 102-year-old man and Rishi Kapoor his his 75-year-old son. The plot revolves around the 102-year-old man trying to break the record for the oldest person in the world, held in the movie by a Chinese man. One of the main themes has to do with the duo changing diet and shopping for anti-aging associated foods such as dried blueberries. Yes, they really do go shopping and pick up dried blueberries in the film!
Rostaa, a supplier of dried blueberries was quick to team up with the film and below you will see a country-wide promotion for their product with a grand prize of a meeting with the star!
Here is the online contest solicitation:
How did it all happen. Our man in Delhi, Raj Kapoor — not to be confused with the famous actor — met up with Rostaa five years ago at a trade show. I remember as at the time the mantra was "too expensive!" Most dried fruits are sold in traditional dried fruit markets and are a low cost commodity. Rostaa has been cooperating with USHBC on promotions, exhibitions and market development in the food industry. Business has grown and they are selling all over this country of 1.3 billion. Congratulations to Rostaa. Congratulations to Raj and all of USHBC who continue to make things happen around the world!
The excitement is building in Seoul.
No, I am not referring to the governmental Summit — but the Seoul Food and Hotel Exposition (SFH) which will be held May 1-4 in Ilsan. Last year, our Korea Food Tech began exploring market development opportunities in the savory area. That is — not too sweet! Koreans love all things spicy, garlic and pickled! (The national dish is fermented cabbage called Kimche!)
So far, great reception, and some of the leading sauce and prepared entrée companies have shown interest. Who knows in the future blueberry Kinchee will be a household item!
Here is a pickled blueberry concept we are sampling at the SFH. It is adapted from a 1960s North American Blueberry Council (NABC) book.
- (bapsang, 밥상) A bapsang is a table for serving meals and snacks. In Korean culture, sitting on a mat with a bapsang is a very important social activity with family or friends. It normally includes dozens of small side dishes and of course piles of kimchee!
- No bapsang is complete without beverages — of course including Korean beer–but more likely Soju (소주 ), a vodka-like beverage made from rice, barley or sweet potato. Another favorite is Makgeolli (막걸리) a milky sake-like beverage. Sunyong is also working on blueberry addition to these two beverages!
- Besides a swirl made with real blueberry puree, it contains real frozen blueberries.
- The base is made from coconut milk
- The background flavor is cardamom
"Spice things up. Bright blueberries, a little cardamom spice and coconuts make a delicious flavor combo in our creamy coconut milk frozen dessert"
The excitement is building for the USHBC participation in the Food Ingredients Vietnam Exposition which will be held May 16-18 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This is a trade-only event and will bring together food manufacturers and suppliers from throughout the region. Vietnam has a booming food industry and we will meet some of the largest dairy, candy and baking companies from all over the long country. Hana, our food technologist in Vietnam has been asked to present a seminar at a beverage conference at the event!
How are things going in Southeast Asia: Lets take a ride!
So, you did not make it to Global Pet Expo (GPE), 2018 held March 21-23 in Orlando, Florida. Well, no worry — check out this video on all of the action. Blueberries on the labels, in the products and on the minds now of the product developers.
Infused dried blueberries are a hit in India!
139,000 kg of infused dried blueberries were legally imported into India in 2017 according to the Fruit and Treenuts Statistics published online by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economic Research Service (ERS) Screen shots provided as well as the source.
- USHBC began market development in India in 2008 when zero were imported.
- This amounts to 486,000 lbs. of dried blueberries
- Today at least 25 companies are packing consumer dried blueberries and product is also used in restaurants and foodservice as well as cookie and biscuit manufacturing.
- It took 1.21 million lbs. of frozen blueberries to produce the dried blueberries which were exported to India. (based on 3.5 to 1)
- Initially when Raj Kapoor started work on this sector, there was no interest from dried fruit traders. Now, it is described as hot!
Indian packed dried blueberries are now being shipped to countries around the region including the Persian Gulf.
- Now, one after another — dry blueberry packers are signing up for use of the real blueberries seal to ensure that the customers know this is authentic.
- Recently at the Gulfood show in Dubai, I met with dozens of Indian dried blueberry customers and all said they were introduced by Raj!
Congratulations to Raj Kapoor, our man in Delhi for a job well done!
Here is the information from the US Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service ERS. They receive their data from US Customs. Below is the actual screen shot.
Here are some of the actual people who purchase dried blueberries from the USA who were introduced by USHBC! These shots taken at the AAHAR exhibition recently.
Something is happening here…
Check out the number of new beauty and personal care products around the world which are identified with blueberries!

A transfer is usually made when the premises has been sold from one person/company to another. A transfer of the licence only changes the identity of the holder of the licence and does not alter the licence in any other way.
Fees and charges
The fee for the transfer of a Premises Licence is £23.00.
How to apply
Any individual, aged 18 or over, may apply for the transfer of a Premises Licence.
An application to transfer a Premises Licence must be made to the Licensing Authority for the area in which the premises is situated.
The application must be accompanied by the Premises Licence or, if that is not practicable, a statement of the reasons for the failure to provide the licence.
The application must be accompanied by a consent form from the current holder of the Premises Licence. If this is not possible then the applicant must show that he/she has taken all reasonable steps to obtain that consent (if the application is made online, the consent may also be given online).
The applicant must give notice of the application to the Chief Officer of Police for the Police area in which the premises are situated.
The Alcohol Licensing Team at the Home Office must also be notified.
Applications and credit/debit card payments can be made using the UK Welcomes webpage on the GOV.UK website:
- Online Application to Transfer a Premises Licence
- Online Form for Consent of Premises Licence Holder to Transfer
By Post
Postal applications may be made by sending a completed form, along with any accompanying documents:
- Application to Transfer a Premises Licence (MS Word)
- Consent of Premises Licence Holder to Transfer (MS Word)
- Consent of Premises Licence Holder to Transfer (PDF)
Return your application to:
The Licensing Section, Regulatory Services, Barnsley Council, PO Box 634, Barnsley, South Yorkshire, S70 9GG.
Please ensure you enclose a cheque for the correct amount, made payable to Barnsley MBC. Your application will not be considered to be valid without receipt of the necessary payment.
What happens next
The transfer comes into immediate interim effect as soon as the Licensing Authority receives it, until it is formally determined or withdrawn. This is to ensure that there is no interruption to normal business at the premises. The Chief Officer of Police has 14 days, beginning with the day on which they are notified of the application, to consider the transfer.
They can either:
- issue an objection notice if they believe that the transfer may undermine the crime prevention objective as set out in the Licensing Act 2003; or
- raise no objection to the application.
If no objection is received then the Licensing Authority will transfer the licence in accordance with the application, amend the licence accordingly and issue it to the new holder. This will usually be done within 7 days from the close of the 14-day consultation period.
The total timescale for dealing with a transfer application (no objection received) is therefore expected to be no more than 21 consecutive days commencing with the correct receipt of the application paperwork (including the Chief Officer of Police and the Home Office) and the associated fee.
Please read the premises licence approval process for further information about how all applications and changes are processed, including:
- representations
- mediation
- hearing
- appeal
- determination
Tacit consent applies for this application.
Trade associations
ALMR - Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers
BECTU - Broadcasting, Entertainment, Cinematograph and Theatre Union
FLVA - Federation of Licensed Victuallers Associations
If you want to make a complaint about a licensed premises, please contact us. See also Review of a Premises Licence.

CVT use in Outboard Marine Engines
Boaters typically measure performance of their motors in two competing...
more >>
Simplicity, Innovation, Power. See for yourself how the MCVT works.
» Milner CVT Overview
At the heart of the
Milner CVT
lies a rolling traction variator that is capable of efficiently handling both high torque and high speeds. Designed with simplicity in mind, the MCVT has a small number of key components. It is essentially a variable geometry, four-point contact ball bearing with power transfer to or from the planet balls by roller followers located between the balls and mounted on a rotating carrier.
Figure 1
The substantial contact forces necessary to support rolling traction are contained entirely within the races of the variator assembly. Precisely the correct amount of contact force for any input torque is automatically generated by a simple helical mechanism built into the inner race assembly. This mechanism is normally a ball screw, but may also be a cam and follower arrangement. The same type of mechanism is employed in the outer race assembly to provide low-load ratio changing.
When the ratio change actuator is rotated, the axial separation between the outer race halves changes and the planet balls automatically adjust their position and contact points with the raceways. At the same time, the inner race halves automatically adjust their axial separation and contact points with the planet balls. (See Figure 2).
Figure 2
can be configured as fully reversible with respect to both torque and rotation directions, or it may be equipped with a built-in freewheel for uni-directional applications. Input may be to the inner race assembly with output from the roller follower carrier, as shown in the figures, or vice versa, depending on the application.
Due to its epicyclic type layout, the
is generally cylindrical in shape and linear in the power flow path. This combines well with conventional epicyclic gearsets to help match prime mover to load and/or create various split torque, dual mode and infinitely variable transmission configurations. Such arrangements are difficult or space consuming with belt type CVTs requiring a lateral offset between the input and output.

Snooker is a game of skill, precision and strategy. Like any sport, it takes dedication and talent to achieve the status of a professional. Follow these guidelines to give you the beginnings of your new career; but, ultimately it's up to you to be the pro.
Understand the guidelines. The U.S. Snooker Association is responsible for the regulation and governing of all professional games in the country. Check that you meet the guidelines (see Resources) to qualify as a professional.
Practice. Even if you have bags of natural talent, nothing is a substitute for extensive practice. Good balance, stance and comfort with varied shots are essential for success in the game. If possible, receive guidance from an already established player to find the tricks of the trade.
Be spotted. The best way to attract attention and find interested parties is by showing off your talent. Regional competitions and national tournaments will give you a chance to perform and hopefully get the attention of a talent scout. Alternatively, being acquainted with an already professional player may get you a foot in the door.
Get sponsored. Being a full time professional player means that you will need a full time salary. Unlike more publicized and popular sports, snooker players do not receive large payouts for competing or even winning tournaments. The best way to supplement your income is by getting sponsored by a company and receiving royalties from advertising and endorsing merchandise.
Be a showman. In a world where successful sports stars are also heavily publicized celebrities, stand out from the crowd. Snooker is a relatively low-key sport with limited global attention and as a result seeks new and interesting players that can excite the audience, increasing the sport's popularity and exposure.
