Hiking can be a great way for you to keep fit. You can experience the great outdoors and you can also team up with people in your local area as well. If you want to take things to that next level, then hiking abroad is certainly a great way for you to do that.
It is a great idea for you to look at the route you intend to take. You can also note down the distance that you are going to be walking on the longest day as well. This is a fantastic way for you to work out how fit you need to be, and it will also help you to plan out your regime. Remember that some hikes will ascend and descend, which will use way more muscle groups than when walking on flat ground. If the only walking you do is taking the dog for a stroll around the city then this may come as quite a shock, so take the time to really prepare your mind and your body for this.
You should really start exercising three months before your trip. You need to increase your breathing and your heart rate to the point where you can hold a conversation if you are walking uphill. The more you do this, the easier it will be. Of course, it also helps to build up your stamina over time as well. If you go on the same walk every single day then this won't help you out very much because your body will become used to the workout and it will plateau as well. The exercise you do will largely depend on the hike you are going on, for example, if you are booking through Kandoo Adventures then you would need to train differently when compared to going on a lakeside hike in the UK.
Any exercise that will boost your cardiovascular fitness will most certainly help. If you need some ideas then swimming and even cycling are great options. You can even choose to take the stairs at work when compared to taking the elevator. The key is increasing your heart rate as much as you can. When you do this, you will increase your stamina as well and this can work wonders for your fitness. Consistency is key here, and it is far better to go for a walk once a day when compared to doing intensive exercise once a fortnight.
As your fitness increases, you need to start going out more often in your hiking boots. They will take some getting used to, so try different socks to find out which one works best for you. Wool ones are great, but it is possible for you to try different thicknesses to see if you prefer one over the other. There is no one-size-fits-all option here because if you are going somewhere cold then you might want to layer up a few pairs. This will change the way that your boots fit, so it's all about trial and error to see what you like the most.

Héctor Villa Osorio (Manizales, 1 de mayo de 1926-Bogotá, 18 de agosto de 2012) fue un empresario colombiano, fundador del conglomerado farmacéutico Dromayor. Fue también el fundador de Club del Comercio en Pereira y en la década de los noventa fue un socio estratégico en proyectos de construcción como Torre Central, Uniplex y Unicentro Pereira

Biografía
Hector Villa nació el 1 de mayo de 1926 y sus padres fallecieron cuando tenía 6 años. Dado a esta situación, es forzado a dejar la escuela para trabajar. Su primer trabajo formal fue como mensajero para una farmacia local. Allí empieza a aprender sobre la industria que el más adelante lideraría en el país. A la edad de 15 años viaja a la ciudad de Pereira donde  trabajo en otras farmacias atendiendo en el mostrador.

El 9 de abril de 1948, en el día del Bogotazo, funda la Farmacia Americana en donde era el único empleado. Trabaja allí durante 10 años viviendo y trabajando en la farmacia donde abre al público 24/7. En 1950 con las ganancias de la farmacia abre 3 más y en 1953 abre su primer centro de distribución, Drogas Caldas para suministrar productos en la región.

Luego abre el segundo Centro de distribución en Pereira llamó Depósito Central de Drogas, debido al acortamiento de mensajes de telégrafo el nombre de la empresa era siempre acortado a Dromayor, nombre que gusto mucho y fue adoptado comi el nombre de la compañía. Durante la siguiente década  expande el negocio a todas las ciudades principales y dedica 15 años para dirigir la red de 25 centros de distribución y más de 250 farmacias. Adicionalmente los depósitos atienden más de 10,000 farmacias independientes colombianas, La compañía tuvo 90% participación de mercado colombiano hasta los '90s cuándo la competición internacional llegó al país.

A comienzos de los años 2000 Dromayor tuvo varios intentos de internacionalizarse a través de una fusión con un conglomerado internacional y debido a varias crisis económicas internacionales esto no fue posible. Fue finalmente vendida por divisiones a compañías más pequeñas locales diferentes.

En 1983 la empresa creó dos laboratorios de producción farmacéutica, las plantas se llamaban Anglopharma y Ophalac. Se especializaban en genéricos y producían alrededor de 380 referencias de compuestos, estos laboratorios también exportaban al mercado peruano, panameño y ecuatoriano. Adicionalmente se involucró en el negocio de construcción a través de su inmobiliaria, en el negocio de distribución del licor y una compañía de seguros. También fundó el Club del Comercio de Pereira.

Vida personal
Se casó con Ruby Trujllo de Villa, una prima hermana de César Gaviria Trujillo, presidente de Colombia y tuvieron 4 hijos.

One of the most loved Bollywood pairs, Shah Rukh and Kajol just celebrated 20 years of 'DDLJ' by recreating the iconic poster on the sets of 'Dilwale'.
Their friendship translates into great chemistry film after film and Shah Rukh Khan, who is reuniting with Kajol after five years in "Dilwale", says he misses working with the actress in all his movies as she is magical on-screen.
One of the most loved Bollywood pairs, Shah Rukh and Kajol just celebrated 20 years of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge by recreating the iconic poster on the sets of Dilwale and the 49-year-old actor thinks it was a co-incidence that brought them together in the Rohit Shetty-directed action-comedy.
"I miss Kajol in every film. With this film she gave us 150 days. She had to be away from her children and I know it is a huge sacrifice for a parent.
"We are restless people who want to do more films, earn more money but Kajol is a rested soul. She doesn't care about these things. We are thankful that she took time out for this movie," Shah Rukh said in a interview with a select group of journalists on the sets of the film.
SRK-Kajol have collaborated in Baazigar, Karan-Arjun , Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge , Kuch Kuch Hota Hai , Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham and My Name is Khan.
They may be great friends now but SRK did not have a good impression about Kajol when he first met her.
"When I was working with her in 'Baazigar', Aamir asked me about her as he wanted to work with her. I left him a message saying, 'She is very bad, no focus, you will not be able to work with her'. And then I saw the rushes in the evening. I kept calling Aamir to clarify. I told him, 'I don't know what it is but she is magical on the screen'.
"Kajol is not technical, she is an honest actor and that's a great quality. My daughter (Suhana) wants to become an actress and I would want her to learn that. I hope I learn that from Kajol. I can't explain but she is something else on screen."
Shah Rukh, who is also the producer of the movie, is working round-the-clock to finish shooting Dilwale for its scheduled release on December 18. The film also stars Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, Johnny Lever, Boman Irani, Varun Sharma, Sanjay Mishra and Pankaj Tripathi among others.
With a generous dose of action, comedy, nostalgia-inducing romance between SRK-Kajol, the movie, judging by the rushes that were screened for the press, seems to be a typical Rohit Shetty entertainer.

Q: Play pause for frame and sound as well in flash CS6 I create a movie clip of play and pause button, so that as the animation go,
i just can pause at that frame and then play it to continue.But,as the cartoon character speak
out voice/sound, when i pause it, the sound cannot be stopped.So, what should
add into the script so that after play again, the sound will continue from
where it stops.
Do i need to change the " var mySound:Sound = new MySound()" each time for the script as the sound file is different each time?

A: When you play a sound by calling Sound.play() it returns a SoundChannel object.
Then, you can stop your sound by calling SoundChannel.stop().
The Sound.play() can receive a int parameter that tells the Sound to play from that millisecond.
And, the Sound object SoundChannel have a position property that tell you how much of the sound have played (in milliseconds).
To sum it up, you can do something like this:
private var mySound:Sound = new MySound();
private var mySoundChannel:SoundChannel;
private var latestPosition:int = 0;

public function play():void
{
    mySoundChannel = mySound.play(latestPosition);
}

public function pause():void
{
    latestPosition = mySoundChannel.position;
    mySoundChannel.stop();
}

public function stop():void
{
    latestPosition = 0;
    mySoundChannel.stop();
}

Indiana farmer, 1888, v. 23, no. 02 (Jan. 14)
VOL. XXIII.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, JAN. 14,1888
'. Annual Meeting of the
STATE AND DELEGATE BOAEDS OP
., AGEIOULTUEE.
President Seward's Address— Reports and
*    Discussions—Election of Officers.
iThe Delegate Board of Agriculture met
on Tuesday, the 3d, in 36th annual session. In the rooms set apart for the use of
the Board in tho new State House. The
handsome audience room was well filled
at the afternoon session by delegates and
others, to listen to the address of the president of the Board, Governor Gray and
Mayor Denny of this city.
PRESIDENT SEWARD'S ADDRESS.
The president congratulated the Board
upon the elegant apartments assigned to
them, and specially fitted up for their
use. The Board never had better advantages for doing its work, the value of which
was apparent. Duringthepast year, however, several disappointments in not receiving the recognition due them by the
Legislature in the matter of appropriations
had been experienced. Indiana is so far
behind other States in this respect, that
the State Board was compelled to depend
upon its gate receipts to pay the expenses
of Its exhibits.
He thought the time would come when
the State will so far assist the fair that the
price of admission can be. placed at a nominal rate. Under the present circumstances expenses cannot be paid on a price
less than that now asked for admission.
Referring to the enlarged fair grounds,
he thought that the question of location
was' definitely and satisfactorily settled,
and the Board hoped to make all necessary improvements, which it could not do
last fall because it had no funds for that
purpose. While there was promise that
transportation facilities for passengers to
the grounds would be improved in two
projected lines of cable cars, ho did not
think the connection with steam cars
would be improved, for the right of way
cannot be obtained. However, shipping
facilities are so great, and the distance to
the roads is so short, but little inconvenience is experienced by exhibitors in driving their stock to the grounds.
Under the provisions of the Hatch" bill,
recently made a law, he said Indiana will
receive $15,000 for the purpose of assisting in maintaining an experimental farm
department in an agricultural college.
This will be a potent and desired addition
to the State's educational system.
The need of larger fair grounds caused
the Board to purchase twenty acres ad
joining the north of the fair grounds, but
the lack of money prevented them being
improved as had been the intention. The
improvements were to consist of a mile
race track, new stabling, sheds and the
like. Tbe expenditures of this year will
completely exhaust the money of the
Board, so that nothing will be left to make
these improvements. The indebtedness
of the Board, increased by the purchase of
this ground at a cost of §10,000, is too great
to be enlarged, although it is probable
that this last debt contracted will be met
by action of the Legislature next year.
In conclusion the president made appropriate reference to the Woman's Board,
which he said, had been an important
factor in the success of the fairs duriDg
several years.
\ THE GOVERNOR'S REMARKS.
Governor Gray, who next spoke briefly,
told the convention that the agricultural
interest underlies all prosperity, and that
every other interest^moves with it. The
country where the soil is under high cultivation will be high in manufactures and
all other industries. He was proud of the
position of Indiana, which was not only a
great grain-producing, but a stock-breeding State, second to none, and all these
results were entirely due to the work and
intelligence of the farmers. He regretted
that thejlast General Assembly did not do
for the agricultural interest what they had
demanded, but in the absence of legislation he had done all that he could to protect them. He spoke of his proclamation
in regard to the entry of the diseased cattle into the State at a time when an epidemic was threatened. This proclamation
he was glad to say was recognized by other
States. He favored the appropriation of
an annual sum that would enable the
Board to pay its indebtedness. This out
of the way,the Board could do much more
in keeping Indiana in the front rank of
agricultural States. He closed by wishing
all the delegates and their families a bright
and happy New Year.
MAYOR DENNY'S ADDRESS.
After welcoming the delegates to the
city, Mayor Denny said that no other interest than that of agriculture deserved
better consideration. Indiana is a manufacturing as well as an agricultural State,
but the latter underlies all the prosperity
which enabled it to add $200,000,000 last
year from farm and §150,000,000 from man
ufactured products. Success for the State
Board of Agriculture meant success for
Indianapolis, but in one thing he thought
the board would err. He believed, better
results would be obtained by purchasing
grounds nearer tho railroads. With tho
coming in of expositions in large cities it
was said that fairs had hadTuelr" day, but
they remained popular. He had requested the merchants and manufacturers last
fall to give their employes one day at the
fair, and would do so again.

THE LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
Mrs. A. M. Noe, of the ladies' department of the fair, reported that its success
last year was remarkable, and showed the
necessity for additional room for the display of women's work. The ladies met
later in the day and elected officers as follows:
President, Mrs. A. M. Noe; vice-president, Miss Mary R. Heron; secretary, Mrs.
Hattie L. Seward; executive committee,
Mesdames Shideler, Swift, Hawkins and
Taylor.
superintendent's report.
Charles E. Merrifiold, superintendent
of the grounds, gave a detailed report of
the improvements made last September,
and of those in contemplation. Of the
latter the new race track is to be placed in
the northeast corner of the twenty acres
added to the grounds, and around it will
be planted a double row of trees, with an
infield of grass. A new amphitheater, accommodating one-half more people than
the present ono, is to be erected, and a new
power hall is to be built. A system of
horse-racks and barns is to be constructed. ■ .
After appointing the usual committees
the meeting adjourned till the next day.
At the morning session on the second
day,R. M. Lockhart, presented a report on
the subject of
holding farmers' institutes
giving some interesting statements relative to the success of such institutes in
Wisconsin and Ohio, and urging that the
Board arrange for holding one institute
in each county in the State during the
present winter. He stated the object to
be the dissemination of information in all
brachea of agriculture among the farmers'
of the State by regular meetings of county
or district organizations, in which addresses on agricultural topics will be made
and an interchange of ideas and experience will occur. A lengthy discussion
fbllowed, directed chiefly to the practicability of forming and maintaining the
organization and obtaining the requisite
assistance from the Legislature. A resolution was at length adapted instructing
the State Board to provide for a series of
institutes, one in each district, during the
cqming year.
We regard this as an important enterprise and one which all farmers should
endorse and encourage. If farmers take
the proper interest in the institutes that
may be held under the auspices of the
Board there is but little doubt that the
next Legislature may be persuaded to
appropriate a sum sufficient to defray the
expense of conducting them in the future,
as is the case in Wisconsin and Ohio. If
the farmers are indifferent, and do not
attend the meetings it will be in vain to
ask for an appropriation. Application
was made by our agent at Anderson to
have the first institute held at that place.
So the ball is started. Who wants the

At the afternoon session a resolution
was adopted urging the Legislature to

THE STATE FAIR GROUNDS.
The committee on the Mayor's address
reported, expressing approval of his re-
marks,except as to a change of the State
Pair Grounds. As to this, they reported
the purchase of the additional twenty
acres as judicious, and recommended that
the present location be retained. The report was unanimously adopted.
The committee gave no reason for their
recommendation, and only a single remark was made upon the subject, and this
was by Mr. McDonald of Whitley Co., in
which he said in a very positive way, as
though stating what should not be disputed, that he knew the sentiment of the
people on the subject, and that was that
the State Fair should remain where it was.
The board had evidently made up its mind
on the subject, and discussion of the question would have been a waste of time. We
have a word on the subject elsewhere.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
There was much electioneering among
the members of the Board whose terms
had expired, and the candidates for their
places, but as usual it was found much
easier for the Ins to retain their seats than
for the Outs to oust theia. Only three new
men succeeded in forcing an entrance to
the charmed circle. These are Gerhardt
Reiter, of Knox Co., in place of Samuel
Hargrave, who was not a candidate, V. K.
Officer, of Jefferson, in place of Greer.who
was not present to contest, and J. A. Mc-
Clung, of Fulton, in place of L. B. Custer,
who has been a member for eight years'.
The other members, whose terms expired,
were re-elected, mostly with but little if
any opposition.
EXPERT JUDGES.
The subject of  selecting expert judges
at the fairs was then brought forward,
and the discussion was opened by Robt.
Mitchell, who favored selecting but one
judge rather than three judges. He was
decidedly against the picked up committees, which were generally incompetent,
while upon their decision depended the
reputation of cattle breeders. Ignorance
and downright dishonesty prevailed in
many of these committees. The one-
judge system was expensive, but the returns warranted the outlay.
Several other membprs spoke upon the
question, and in conclusion a resolution
advising the State Board to adopt the expert judge system at the next State fair
was adopted.
At the meeting next morning it was resolved to request the county associations
to furnish the secretary of the State Board
with the names of persons competent to
act as judges at fairs. Following this was
a discussion led by R. M. Lockhart,' on
"What can we do to assist in promoting
and making our fairs more successful?"
On this subject there was a variety of
opinions, but no definite policy was shaped
other than to do the best that is practicable.
HOW TO GET RID OF WEEDS,
was the subject started by Mr. Davidson,
in some interesting practical remarks,
principally on the iron weed, white top,
etc., these he said can be destroyed by
early and continuous cutting. He had
not much faith in the sheep remedy, advocated by Mr. Dungan and others, who
claimed that their pastures were clear of
weeds on account.of keeping flocks of sheep
upon them. Colonel Blanche's plan was
to kill weeds by mowing them before the
seeds became ripe. He also thought that
sheep were useful in effecting the same result.
Mr. Harshbarger oftMontgomery county
gave his experience, which was quite valuable. His plan for killing out foxtail
and ragweed was by breaking the ground
as early as possible. One speaker said that
Canada thistles can be destroyed by putting salt on them. The general expression of opinion favored sheep and mowing
as tho best means of extermination.
On the next question, "Is Deep Plowing
better than Shallow, without Exception?"
there was a general unanimity that it is.
The president appointed Pielding Beel-
er to act as a representative of the Board
in an effort to secure bettor support from
the next Legislature for the State library.
. The Delegate Board adjourned at noon
and in the afternoon
THE NEW STATE BOARD
assembled for organization, which was effected by the election of the following
officers for the ensuing year:
President—Jasper N. Davidson, of
Whitesville.
Vice-president—W. A. Banks, Door Village.
Secretary-Alex. Heron, Indianapolis.
Treasurer—Sylvester Johnson,   Marion
; General Superintendent—R. M. Lockhart, Waterloo.
' Executive Committee—W. B. Seward
Bloomington; E. H. Peed, New Castle-
Willis Blanche, Kokomo, and Robert
Mitchell, Princeton.
Messrs. R. M. Lockhart, J. Q. A. Sieg
and V. K. Officer were appointed a com-
m-ttee to look after the Farmers' Institutes
throughout the State.
It was decided that the salaries of officers
and the per diem of members of the Board
should remain the same, with the exception of the general superintendent's salary
which, in view of the extra work to be
done this year, was raised from $300 to
?400.
After fixing the date of the next fair
from Sept. 17 to 22, inclusive, the board
adjourned to meet Feb. 22.

Transcript VOL. XXIII. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, JAN. 14,1888 NO. 2 '. Annual Meeting of the STATE AND DELEGATE BOAEDS OP ., AGEIOULTUEE. President Seward's Address— Reports and * Discussions—Election of Officers. iThe Delegate Board of Agriculture met on Tuesday, the 3d, in 36th annual session. In the rooms set apart for the use of the Board in tho new State House. The handsome audience room was well filled at the afternoon session by delegates and others, to listen to the address of the president of the Board, Governor Gray and Mayor Denny of this city. PRESIDENT SEWARD'S ADDRESS. The president congratulated the Board upon the elegant apartments assigned to them, and specially fitted up for their use. The Board never had better advantages for doing its work, the value of which was apparent. Duringthepast year, however, several disappointments in not receiving the recognition due them by the Legislature in the matter of appropriations had been experienced. Indiana is so far behind other States in this respect, that the State Board was compelled to depend upon its gate receipts to pay the expenses of Its exhibits. He thought the time would come when the State will so far assist the fair that the price of admission can be. placed at a nominal rate. Under the present circumstances expenses cannot be paid on a price less than that now asked for admission. Referring to the enlarged fair grounds, he thought that the question of location was' definitely and satisfactorily settled, and the Board hoped to make all necessary improvements, which it could not do last fall because it had no funds for that purpose. While there was promise that transportation facilities for passengers to the grounds would be improved in two projected lines of cable cars, ho did not think the connection with steam cars would be improved, for the right of way cannot be obtained. However, shipping facilities are so great, and the distance to the roads is so short, but little inconvenience is experienced by exhibitors in driving their stock to the grounds. Under the provisions of the Hatch" bill, recently made a law, he said Indiana will receive $15,000 for the purpose of assisting in maintaining an experimental farm department in an agricultural college. This will be a potent and desired addition to the State's educational system. The need of larger fair grounds caused the Board to purchase twenty acres ad joining the north of the fair grounds, but the lack of money prevented them being improved as had been the intention. The improvements were to consist of a mile race track, new stabling, sheds and the like. Tbe expenditures of this year will completely exhaust the money of the Board, so that nothing will be left to make these improvements. The indebtedness of the Board, increased by the purchase of this ground at a cost of §10,000, is too great to be enlarged, although it is probable that this last debt contracted will be met by action of the Legislature next year. In conclusion the president made appropriate reference to the Woman's Board, which he said, had been an important factor in the success of the fairs duriDg several years. \ THE GOVERNOR'S REMARKS. Governor Gray, who next spoke briefly, told the convention that the agricultural interest underlies all prosperity, and that every other interest^moves with it. The country where the soil is under high cultivation will be high in manufactures and all other industries. He was proud of the position of Indiana, which was not only a great grain-producing, but a stock-breeding State, second to none, and all these results were entirely due to the work and intelligence of the farmers. He regretted that thejlast General Assembly did not do for the agricultural interest what they had demanded, but in the absence of legislation he had done all that he could to protect them. He spoke of his proclamation in regard to the entry of the diseased cattle into the State at a time when an epidemic was threatened. This proclamation he was glad to say was recognized by other States. He favored the appropriation of an annual sum that would enable the Board to pay its indebtedness. This out of the way,the Board could do much more in keeping Indiana in the front rank of agricultural States. He closed by wishing all the delegates and their families a bright and happy New Year. MAYOR DENNY'S ADDRESS. After welcoming the delegates to the city, Mayor Denny said that no other interest than that of agriculture deserved better consideration. Indiana is a manufacturing as well as an agricultural State, but the latter underlies all the prosperity which enabled it to add $200,000,000 last year from farm and §150,000,000 from man ufactured products. Success for the State Board of Agriculture meant success for Indianapolis, but in one thing he thought the board would err. He believed, better results would be obtained by purchasing grounds nearer tho railroads. With tho coming in of expositions in large cities it was said that fairs had hadTuelr" day, but they remained popular. He had requested the merchants and manufacturers last fall to give their employes one day at the fair, and would do so again. secretary's report. The report of Secretary Alex. Heron showed as total Receipts for the year $12,779.03 General Expenses, (Including {9,728.50 paid for premiums) 32,955.'.3 Leaving balanoe on hand ^9,824.70 THE REPORT OF TREASURER, Sylvester Johnson, corresponded with this,except as to a certain amount in notes, which the secretary held as cash, while he deducted them from the actual cash on hand. THE LADIES' DEPARTMENT. Mrs. A. M. Noe, of the ladies' department of the fair, reported that its success last year was remarkable, and showed the necessity for additional room for the display of women's work. The ladies met later in the day and elected officers as follows: President, Mrs. A. M. Noe; vice-president, Miss Mary R. Heron; secretary, Mrs. Hattie L. Seward; executive committee, Mesdames Shideler, Swift, Hawkins and Taylor. superintendent's report. Charles E. Merrifiold, superintendent of the grounds, gave a detailed report of the improvements made last September, and of those in contemplation. Of the latter the new race track is to be placed in the northeast corner of the twenty acres added to the grounds, and around it will be planted a double row of trees, with an infield of grass. A new amphitheater, accommodating one-half more people than the present ono, is to be erected, and a new power hall is to be built. A system of horse-racks and barns is to be constructed. ■ . After appointing the usual committees the meeting adjourned till the next day. At the morning session on the second day,R. M. Lockhart, presented a report on the subject of holding farmers' institutes giving some interesting statements relative to the success of such institutes in Wisconsin and Ohio, and urging that the Board arrange for holding one institute in each county in the State during the present winter. He stated the object to be the dissemination of information in all brachea of agriculture among the farmers' of the State by regular meetings of county or district organizations, in which addresses on agricultural topics will be made and an interchange of ideas and experience will occur. A lengthy discussion fbllowed, directed chiefly to the practicability of forming and maintaining the organization and obtaining the requisite assistance from the Legislature. A resolution was at length adapted instructing the State Board to provide for a series of institutes, one in each district, during the cqming year. We regard this as an important enterprise and one which all farmers should endorse and encourage. If farmers take the proper interest in the institutes that may be held under the auspices of the Board there is but little doubt that the next Legislature may be persuaded to appropriate a sum sufficient to defray the expense of conducting them in the future, as is the case in Wisconsin and Ohio. If the farmers are indifferent, and do not attend the meetings it will be in vain to ask for an appropriation. Application was made by our agent at Anderson to have the first institute held at that place. So the ball is started. Who wants the next? THE PI.EUKO ri'KBMOXIA HILL. Tho following resolution was adopted: Whereas, The danger to the cattle industry of this country from contagious pleuro-pneumonia is so great and imminent as to . tho-eaU-for-the most sweeping and thorough means of eradication; and I Whereas, The bill recently introduced in the Senate by Senator Palmer and indorsed by the Consolidated Cattle Growers' Association of America, is the only adequate measure ever devised for the swift and sure stamping out of this insidious disease: therefore, Resolved, That the Indiana Delegate and State Board of Agriculture indorses ttois bill, and earnestly request the Indiana delegation in Congress to give It heartv support. At the afternoon session a resolution was adopted urging the Legislature to make a more liberal provision for the purchase of agricultural books for the State Library. THE STATE FAIR GROUNDS. The committee on the Mayor's address reported, expressing approval of his re- marks,except as to a change of the State Pair Grounds. As to this, they reported the purchase of the additional twenty acres as judicious, and recommended that the present location be retained. The report was unanimously adopted. The committee gave no reason for their recommendation, and only a single remark was made upon the subject, and this was by Mr. McDonald of Whitley Co., in which he said in a very positive way, as though stating what should not be disputed, that he knew the sentiment of the people on the subject, and that was that the State Fair should remain where it was. The board had evidently made up its mind on the subject, and discussion of the question would have been a waste of time. We have a word on the subject elsewhere. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. There was much electioneering among the members of the Board whose terms had expired, and the candidates for their places, but as usual it was found much easier for the Ins to retain their seats than for the Outs to oust theia. Only three new men succeeded in forcing an entrance to the charmed circle. These are Gerhardt Reiter, of Knox Co., in place of Samuel Hargrave, who was not a candidate, V. K. Officer, of Jefferson, in place of Greer.who was not present to contest, and J. A. Mc- Clung, of Fulton, in place of L. B. Custer, who has been a member for eight years'. The other members, whose terms expired, were re-elected, mostly with but little if any opposition. EXPERT JUDGES. The subject of selecting expert judges at the fairs was then brought forward, and the discussion was opened by Robt. Mitchell, who favored selecting but one judge rather than three judges. He was decidedly against the picked up committees, which were generally incompetent, while upon their decision depended the reputation of cattle breeders. Ignorance and downright dishonesty prevailed in many of these committees. The one- judge system was expensive, but the returns warranted the outlay. Several other membprs spoke upon the question, and in conclusion a resolution advising the State Board to adopt the expert judge system at the next State fair was adopted. At the meeting next morning it was resolved to request the county associations to furnish the secretary of the State Board with the names of persons competent to act as judges at fairs. Following this was a discussion led by R. M. Lockhart,' on "What can we do to assist in promoting and making our fairs more successful?" On this subject there was a variety of opinions, but no definite policy was shaped other than to do the best that is practicable. HOW TO GET RID OF WEEDS, was the subject started by Mr. Davidson, in some interesting practical remarks, principally on the iron weed, white top, etc., these he said can be destroyed by early and continuous cutting.

The president appointed Pielding Beel- er to act as a representative of the Board in an effort to secure bettor support from the next Legislature for the State library. . The Delegate Board adjourned at noon and in the afternoon THE NEW STATE BOARD assembled for organization, which was effected by the election of the following officers for the ensuing year: President—Jasper N. Davidson, of Whitesville. Vice-president—W. A. Banks, Door Village. Secretary-Alex. Heron, Indianapolis. Treasurer—Sylvester Johnson, Marion county. ; General Superintendent—R. M. Lockhart, Waterloo. ' Executive Committee—W. B. Seward Bloomington; E. H. Peed, New Castle- Willis Blanche, Kokomo, and Robert Mitchell, Princeton. Messrs. R. M. Lockhart, J. Q. A. Sieg and V. K.

It was decided that the salaries of officers and the per diem of members of the Board should remain the same, with the exception of the general superintendent's salary which, in view of the extra work to be done this year, was raised from $300 to ?400. After fixing the date of the next fair from Sept. 17 to 22, inclusive, the board adjourned to meet Feb. 22.

More solar power in wintertime thanks to snow
If Switzerland is to produce all of its electricity from renewable resources as envisaged by the national energy strategy for 2050, it needs to cope medium term with a supply shortfall which occurs in wintertime.
A new study by the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF and Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) shows that the supply gap could be significantly reduced by installing photovoltaic (PV) systems in high Alpine regions.
The Swiss Energy Strategy 2050 reflects the decision to abandon nuclear power in the medium term. In the coming decades the reduction in the amount of available electricity will need to be made good successively by power generated from other resources. In order to avoid the additional burden on the climate that increased carbon dioxide emissions would entail, the principal candidates are renewables, namely solar and geothermal energy, and wind.
Supply shortfall in wintertime
The amount of electricity generated by solar energy in particular is subject to substantial seasonal fluctuations. As a general rule, in summertime PV systems generate more electricity than is needed by the market. In winter, on the other hand, a supply shortfall arises because of reduced solar radiation. There are fewer daylight hours, the sun is lower in the sky, and fog and low stratus cloud frequently impede sunshine at low altitudes in particular. In order to overcome the disparity between supply and demand, electricity produced in the summer needs to be stored for available use in wintertime. This is currently feasible on a large scale only in pumped storage power stations, but available capacities are lacking. Furthermore, this solution entails high energy wastage. For that reason, it would make better sense to generate greater amounts of solar power in winter.
PV systems in high Alpine regions
In a study published recently in the leading scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), Annelen Kahl and her colleagues in the snow processes research group of the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF and the Laboratory of Cryospheric Sciences (CRYOS), which is affiliated to EPFL, examine whether more electrical energy could be produced in wintertime in particular by installing PV systems not on the Swiss plateau, but in high Alpine regions. Among the resources they utilised to answer this question were data captured by remote sensing satellites, which provide an estimate of solar radiation reaching the ground across the whole of Switzerland. On this basis the researchers calculated the potential for generating electricity with PV systems. This investigation now shows that PV systems installed in high Alpine regions can significantly reduce the seasonal supply shortfall in wintertime because the amount of solar radiation in winter is greater there than on the Swiss Plateau, which is often shrouded in fog.
Snow raises electricity production
The researchers also investigated the influence exerted by the snow-covered ground and the inclination of installed solar panels on the amount of electricity generated. Kahl explains, "When PV systems are installed in the mountains, solar radiation reflected by the snow can be used additionally to produce electricity." According to the study, this reflected radiation is exploited most efficiently when the solar panels are installed at a steep angle. Taking this action can further increase the amount of electricity generated in wintertime. "Our study shows that PV systems in the mountains, compared with installations on the roofs of buildings in the Swiss Plateau, are much more capable of overcoming the supply shortfall that will arise as a consequence of abandoning nuclear power because, per square metre, solar panels at high altitudes produce electricity not only in larger quantities, but also when it is needed," adds Kahl.
System trials above Davos
With the aid of an experimental system on the Totalp in the Parsenn ski resort above Davos, the SLF and EPFL, together with the utility company that supplies the canton of Zurich (EKZ) and the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), are currently examining technical and practical issues arising from the installation of PV systems in the mountains, including the angle at which the panels have to be mounted so that deposited snow slides off by itself.

These little bookmark pals are so fun! They are really cute, unique, and useful, and they make great gifts for all ages. It's also a fun project that doesn't take hardly any time or money. You can't beat that!
All you need to create these little pals is felt, scissors, a needle, and you can either use sewing thread or embroidery thread. Just cut off two corners of a sheet of felt, make them into whatever you want, and sew them together! But make sure to leave the top open, so that the page can easily fit inside.
And don't worry, the book will still close easily and stay compact when you're not reading.
And here are all my little pals together, just hanging out, waiting on a book to call their home.

Timing of 'Uncle Earl' Indictment Questioned on Capitol Hill
(Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call)
By Hannah Hess
Posted April 9, 2014 at 5:52pm
To hear some members of Congress say it, the timing of the Justice Department's plea bargain with D.C. businessman Jeffrey Thompson — a.k.a. 'Uncle Earl' — influenced the outcome of the April 1 mayoral primary.
House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., told CQ Roll Call on Tuesday that it was "perhaps too soon" for his committee to look at how federal prosecutors' allegations that Mayor Vincent Gray knew about a shadow campaign scheme in the 2010 election might have contributed to his loss to Muriel Bowser.
"But, you know, clearly had an indictment not been brought, the outcome of the election could have been different. I agree with that premise," Issa said. "We haven't determined a specific need for a formal investigation." Rep. Cedric L. Richmond, D-La., raised the March 10 indictment earlier that day during a House Judiciary panel hearing with Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.
"Part of my concern today is that the Department of Justice can leak and say whatever it wants when it wants," said Richmond, a lawyer. "Let's just look at the mayor's race in D.C., which I'm not commenting on anybody's guilt or innocence, but to have your name tied into a federal investigation three weeks before your election and to say that it leads towards you, I think affects the electoral process."
Polls showed Gray besting seven other Democrats in his re-election campaign in January and February. In mid-March, after prosecutors painted a detailed picture of how Thompson pumped more than $660,000 in illegal donations into the 2010 Gray campaign in federal court, Bowser, who represents Ward 4 on the D.C. Council, began to gain in the polls.
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ronald C. Machen Jr. led the investigation that brought about conspiracy charges . Thompson was charged with secretly funneling more than $2 million to a long list of local and federal campaigns, including Gray's, over the course of a decade. The mayor has not been charged with any wrongdoing.
"I think we are on a very slippery slope when we start leaking information right before election time, because we are influencing the election process," Richmond said.
Holder clarified that what happened in Washington was not a leak, rather a formal filing. He said he understood concern and criticism of the decision.
"But if you look at it in reverse, if the Justice Department had put something under seal and waited until after the election and then revealed the information, we would have been charged potentially with withholding information that would have been relevant for voters to have," he said.
Sometimes the timing is "awkward," he acknowledged, but cases must be brought when they are ready to go "irrespective of what the political fallout is going to be."
Gray's lawyer, Robert Bennett, said in an interview that Thompson's indictment "clearly influenced" the outcome on April 1. Bennett has predicted that his client may be indicted in office, though he maintains he is innocent and will fight the charges.
"You'd have to be a fool not to think that some thought went into the timing," Bennett said.


In precision agriculture (PA) fertilizing, based on soil testing, production maps and crop nitrogen (N) demand, is the key to maximizing yields and tempering fertilizer costs. A trend study has considered the output / input relationships performed on a farm that has progressively adapted to PA procedures over two decades. The evolutions of the variability parameters of yield, comprising the repeatability coefficient of repeated plots, the vegetative vigour (NDRE) at the panicle initiation (pi) stage, and the nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUE) were monitored and compared by means of mixed linear models over a six-year period, after the variable nitrogen (N) fertilization rate (VNFR) had been enlarged to the whole 230 ha of one farm. At pi key fertilization stage, a corrective dose was applied by tacking the correlation between Npi and the measured NDRE in strong negative mode. The evolution of the yield, for the 2012-2017 interval, based on 1165 ha-1 parcel-data, showed a significant yearly increase of 2.3% more than the regional trend (+0.5%). The variability parameters of the yield, that is, the standard deviation (+7.3%), range (+7.1%), coefficient of variation (+5.4%) and maximum (+2.1%) were enhanced over the years, but the minimum remained stable. The repeatability of the parcel yield generally appeared low (r = +0.31), but it tended to increase by 8.3% year-1 (P = 0.018). At the same time, the vegetational vigour also showed significant increases of the NDRE means (+3.0%) as well as of the maximum (+0.8%), but also large oscillations in the standard deviation and in the coefficient of variation. No significant regression of the NDRE on the coefficient of variation of the yield was established. The favorable increase in yield was found to be independent of the distributed N-total. A strong negative correlation (imposed) between N-pi and NDRE (-0.90) and a negative correlation with production were observed for a sample field (but in the area of maximum production). It is recommended that a partial correlation between Yield and N-tot should be considered in the I /O features for a parity of NDRE, which apparently decreases the negativity of the relationship. In short: with the same total input of N, the PA increased the yield, but also its variability – and it did not reduce the variability as predicted by the theory - by strengthening the repeatability. This is an evidence that in many of the parcels with minimum yield the limiting factors cannot be referred to the N availability.

After long and detailed studies focused on production models developed in universities 1,2,3and adopted by extension services 4,5 it is now time to advance precision agriculture (PA), resulting from the developments made in the mechanical agricultural industry and from the work of scientists who produced a body of 17,756 scientific publications, indexed in the Scopus database from 2000 to 2016, throughout the world 6. The PA mainly involves: reduction of overlaps of fertilizers and pesticides during the distribution; soil tillage managements; precision in the dosage of the inputs for the best production. The theoretical potentialities of the various operating instruments now available are challenged by the "big data" generated from the fields as well as from the environment. However, the complexity of the large number of factors, and the multiple interference between their forcing activities that affect production are incomparably less "precise" than the PA definition suggests. Experimenting with a single sensor (Figure 1) is relatively simple, but it is not straightforward to include the results in the complex system of factors that influence productivity, many of which are unknown or uncontrollable.

The progress in yield raising and homogenizing by use of the fertilization maps may be quickly achieved at the beginning of the process 4,5and this fact is exemplified in the Figure 2.

Since the PA is welcome in rice cultivation, in this work we aimed to study in retrospect the productive consequences of its application on a PA Italian rice farm, oriented to obtain maximum yields. In this paper we are concerned in featuring the trends in the variability parameters, obtaining some lessons from fields.
A trend study has considered the output / input relationships performed on a farm that has progressively adapted to PA procedures over two decades. The evolutions of the variability parameters of yield, comprising the repeatability coefficient of repeated plots, the vegetative vigour (NDRE) at the panicle initiation (pi) stage, and the nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUE) were monitored and compared by means of mixed linear models over a six-year period, after the variable nitrogen (N) fertilization rate (VNFR) had been enlarged to the whole farm.
The PA experience started in 1998 with a harvester which was equipped with a yield meter, and then with a yield monitor, a satellite receiver and a light bar to assist manual drive. The farm now spreads fertilizers using a VRT technology, following prescription maps or real time signals of vigor sensors using an OptRx by AgLeader (Figure 3), which reads both NDVI (wavelengths of 670 nm and 780 nm) and NDRE (730 nm and 780 nm).
Before N-pi administration, a drone was used to assess the mean and probable range of the NDRE readings of the sensor, and to fix the thresholds. Following an RTK signal, herbicides are sprayed by a VRT sprayer, which controls the opening and closing of the nozzles lead from a GPS signal, and yield maps are obtained by an harvester equipped with an AgLeader yield meter. All the technology had to be adapted to the soil (Table 1). The name of the farm, "Palestro" (GPS data of the farm buildings: WGS 84 zone 32 N Lat 45,371488 – Lon 8,298165), comes from the Latin "Palustris", which means Swampy. All the soil, that is, 249 ha, of which 230 ha are cultivated, is silty-clay, and is flooded from April to August. Moreover, a rice monoculture has been grown on this farm since 1965.
Table 1. Range in characteristics of soil samples from 14 fields in 2012-16, at a depth of 30 cm.
Yield data from each 19x19m2 mesh plot have been elaborated for the 2012-17 interval (No. 1165 ha-1). Yield repeatability was calculated as a Pearson correlation of the plot-yields within field between consecutive years. Several mixed models (PROC MIXED by SAS 9.0), concerning the yield and NDRE, were applied to the statistical parameters of the fields, whereby the effects of the field or cultivar were considered fixed and the year was taken as the random factor in order to estimate the linear trend. Conversely, when the years were considered fixed, and the fields were considered as the random factor, a least squares solution was found. The covariation of the variability between the different traits was enhanced by fitting a linear or non-linear regression of the estimates. A Friedman's test for paired samples was used to compare the yield averages of the farm vs. the regional means 7. In a sample field, over a period of two years, the total N (N-tot), and N divided into N-pre-pi and N-pi, was related to the yield by developing a partial correlation with NDRE.
Place: r12; r13 and r23 then r12.3 = (r12 – r13 * r23) / ((1-r13^2)^.5* (1-r23^2)^.5)).
Place: regression b1/2 = covariance12 / stdev2 ^2; regression b2/1 = covariance 12 / stdev1 ^2 then (b1 * b2) = r12^2.
Global Yield, N and NUE Trends Over the Years.
A yearly increase of +2.3% more than the +0.5% of the regional features (Table 2) pointed out a substantial response from PF practices. For an N supply increment of +0.9%, the NUE increase was +1.7%. The trends appeared nonlinear for all the considered average parameters (Figure 4). It should be noted that the average yields of the farm were 17% above the regional means (P 001).

The NDRE trend grew by +3.0% year-1 (P =0.044), with significantly different annual values (P =0.000; Table 4 and Figure 7).

Table 4. Year and trend effects on the vegetation vigour NDRE statistics (No. 46 from 289 plots ha-1 of the elementary observations of two OptRx sensors that followed parallel paths in the fields) .
The SD spanned the years (P =0.032) and rose by +3% (not significant) with an important rise in 2015.
The coefficient of variation did not fluctuate over the years, but highlighted a descending parabolic trend (P =0.05.
The Minimum remained stable over the years, while the range and the maximum oscillated (P =0.027), but tended to increase by 1.2% year-1, following a nonlinear shape.
The co-evolution of the two variables was apparently null (Figure 8). However, when two anomalous years, namely 2012 (excessively homogenous) and 2017 (excessively variable) were excluded, the regression clearly appeared negative: a higher NDRE led to a less variable production.
Figure 8. Yearly regression of the coefficient of variation of the yield on the NDRE values, with outliers for the two years.
The vegetation vigour NDRE statistics of fifteen cultivars grown in Italy are reported in Table 5. The Selenio records were outliers.
As shown in Figure 9, the N-pre-PI and the NDRE in the sample field, which is composed of 311 plots, are not related. In that year (2018), the N-pre-PI was distributed twice according to the 2017 production maps. Instead, the N-PI was administered in a strong negative correlation with the NDRE of each plot (r –0.92; Table 6), and is clearly visible in Figure 10. However, the Yield was not related to N-pre-PI (-0.19), but was negatively related to N-PI (-0.58) and N-tot (-0,38), while it was overall positive for NDRE (R2= 0.29, Figure 7; r=0.54 Table 6).

Table 6. Input / Output means, correlation and partial correlation from a field over a two-year period.
• Table 6. summarizes the O/I relationships for two years. The N-PI was about 28-30% of the total. The yield-N-tot correlation, which was negative for both years, became less negative at NDRE parity.
In Figure 11, a parabolic regression of the yield on N-tot (in violet) shows that a maximum yield-zone was attained. Nevertheless, the points in red below the trajectory indicate sparse areas of nitrogen inefficiency.
Figure 11. Regression of the Yield on N-pi and N-total and regression of the NDRE on the N-total.
The second lesson pertained to the increase in variability of the yield and, to a lesser extent, in NDRE after that a strong negative correlation (< -0.90) was imposed on the N-pi variable fertilization, as inversely proportional to the vegetative vigour attained near PI. Cordero et al 8 in a two-year study on experimental plots fertilized at 0÷300 N-tot, have recently proposed a more refined but similar inverse function to establish the acceptable reduction relative to the maximum obtainable yield. In a study on sugarcane 9, the biomass was the main crop parameter that influenced canopy sensor readings, because biomass readings generally result in stalk yields. Thus, canopy sensor readings can efficiently predict relative sugarcane yields when data that are normalized to the mean of the field are considered. Hence, an algorithm that considers this relationship was established, based on an r -0.68 correlation between NDRE and its coefficient of variation, which was lower than the -0.33 of the present work. However, the NDRE in the 16 sugarcane plots was positively correlated with the yield (+0.82), so that the N topdressing was calibrated in positive vs. NDRE, and not in negative as in the present work. Thus an increase in NDRE should reduce the yield variability, but this has not yet been observed in real fields.
The improvement of the mean and maximum yields, and not of the minimum, depends on several plots where the limiting factor cannot be referred to the N availability. A next challenge will be to check the repeatability for yield in those critical plots and to find which is the limiting factor, or, more simply, to reduce the N rate, avoiding a waste.
The third lesson concerned the negative correlation between N-tot and yield, which resulted even after absorbing the N-pi in the N-tot. In the experimental plot studies, the correlations were generally positive, and even very high, until the maximum yield was reached 5,8 but results from the real fields are much less optimistic: i.e. Zavattaro et al 10 observed a sparse regression (+0.0125 t kgN-tot-1) of the yield (avg. 6.55 t ha-1) on the N-tot (121.6 kg ha-1) for seven variety groups from 67 land units in NW Italy, where the correlation coefficient was recalculated to r 0.26; the average NUE, compared to the present work, was 54 kg kg-1,that is,an increased value of 15%, while the N-tot and yield appeared reduced by 27% and 16%, respectively.
The fourth lesson is related the uncertainty of the reference parcels which identified at zero- input 11, or at well-fertilized input5 or by a corrective sufficiency index 8,5, which are necessary to set up the production models and the PA. As shown in Figure 9, the NDRE response over different N-pre-pi was highly variable, that weakens the right point of reference.
The NDRE variability also depends to a great extent on the cultivar, and on the evolution of the temperature and light intensity of the growing season, and it is therefore not automatic to apply the correlation between NDRE and the N rate for PI fertilization of the previous years. The empirical method applied till now on the farm is: i) to consider the prescription threshold table applied in the same cultivar in the previous years; ii) to detect by a drone the gross average NDRE for this cultivar in the current year, and iii) to adapt the prescription threshold table to this parameter. It could also be useful to adapt the N rates to the weather forecast for the following 40 days, if it could be considered reliable.
The study is detached from the usual basic models and applications of the PA, but unfortunately there are no detailed references of similar duration and width to be compared. However, PA is about, and interesting lessons, derived from real and not from model domain, featured the evolution of high production rice fields. The PA on this farm increased the yield for the same total input of N, but also its variability was increased – and not reduced, as predicted by the theory – but strengthening the repeatability, a neglected parameter.
The present elaborations of field parcel data suggest that the actual applied N rates are near, or over, the maximum of the parabolic curve that represents the non-linear correlation between N-tot and Yield. Slightly reducing the maximum N rates would probably not affect the maximum yields.
Figure 12. An example of high variability in the number of plants (up) and panicles (down) per square meter, manually measured in the same sites, with the help of a GPS portable device.
An advantage of the reduction in the N rates at PI, where NDRE is already high, is a reduction in the risk of attacks of Pyriculariagrisea, a fungal disease that is increased by N excesses. This advantage is very complex to be estimated in a farm environment.
This paper underlines that PA still has a huge potential that still must be explored.

What dorms are left by this time?
Damn, I got April 16th and thought I was early. When did you finish your app?
Reservations open for first years on April 16th.
If you're a first year student, April 16th is the first day for those reservations. April 10th-15th reservations are for returning and transfer students only.
I will be an incoming freshman this fall, and I am trying to decide if I should test out of the CS 1030 class. If you're tested out (or not), can you please share your experience with other upper division CS classes? I'm afraid that I might miss some key foundation aspects if I test out of the CS 1030 class, but would love to get it out of the way if it's an easy class with fairly simple material. Thanks!
Apparently you don't learn any actual CS in 1030 until the end of the class, it's for people with a very-very bare understanding of CS, almost nonexistent. It should be thought of as 1410 as the first real "general" CS class. I think if you have a good basic understanding of CS taking 1030 for you would be somewhat boring/useless.
That's what I figured from googling it. Thanks for your help!!

HUDSON, Fla. — A Spring Hill woman is worried about the results of her most recent mammogram after she received a letter that says the imaging from that test didn't meet FDA standards.
Jean White says she's gotten an annual mammogram from Radiology Associates in Hudson for twenty years. Her most recent was in April and the results were normal.
"Oh thank God you know because I really sweat that test," she said.
But for the second time this year, she will pay out of pocket for another test done at another facility. Her insurance only covers one a year.
"I go tomorrow for a mammo and I'm kind of nervous about it," she said.
In April, the American College of Radiology asked for randomly selected mammography cases from the facility.
In June, the mammography practice was shut down and the accreditation was pulled because experts say it did not meet FDA image quality standards.
The letter goes on to say, "This does not necessarily mean that the results you and your healthcare provider were given are wrong. However, most patients will need to have their mammogram(s) performed at our facility reviewed to determine whether a repeat mammogram at another facility is needed."
"The faster you find it you're better off," White said. "But what happens if I had something in 2016?"
Jean has fibrocystic breast disease, which requires extra attention. She worries a new doctor will not have anything to compare to.
"How are they going to say well your x-ray looks good from your last one you know what I mean, it just upsets me, it does. It just upsets me," White said.
Radiology Associates did not want to talk on camera but tells ABC Action News it is working quickly to get additional training for radiologists and technologists on positioning and compression techniques. Once that training is complete it will reapply for accreditation.
