Californian-based Califia Farms known for its best-selling Almondmilks, has recently unveiled a new line of dairy-free Yogurt Drinks made with the Califia Culture Blend.
This distinct trio of 10 billion live, active probiotic CFUs is powered by BB-12, the most documented bifidobacteria in the world and well known for its efficacy in digestive and immune health.
The new Yogurt Drinks line is available in four dairy-free flavours – Strawberry, Super Berry, Mango and Unsweetened Plain. Every drink in the range is made from real fruit, and is non-GMO, dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly.
Greg Steltenpohl, CEO of Califia Farms gave his thoughts behind the new range: "Increasingly, consumers are realising the importance of probiotics because of their enormous digestive and immune health benefits. Until now, there hasn't been a non-dairy yogurt that delivers the delicious taste and creamy texture people want.
"At Califia, we've set the gold standard for nut milks and creamers, and were able to create an almond and coconut based yogurt drink that delivers 10 billion live, active probiotics that are truly great tasting."
With gut health a regular topic in the news of late, we recently covered 'Probiotics' as a topic in our latest healthwatching report, looking at the gut microbiome, probiotic uses, gut health tech and more. Read the full healthwatching report here.

Coat of arms and flag
She-goat, or he-goat was recorded as the symbol of Istria as early as the times of the ancient Romans. The traditional coat of arms of Istria as a Habsburg margraviate is-blue frame, the triple green hill, and the golden goat with red horns and hooves.
The figurative solution of the coat of arms, adopted by the Regional Assembly on 1 July 2002 is based on one of historic coats of arms of Istria from the 9th century.
The model for the solution is-the blue frame with a golden goat with red horns and hooves-taken over from the book of the Austrian heraldist K.Lind: "Stadte-Wapen von Österreich", printed in Vienna in 1885.
The flag is a horizontal blue and green two coloured flag with the coat of arms in the middle. Blue symbolizes the Istrian sky and the sea, and the green symbolizes the Istrian interior.

Apple has been blamed for an increase in accidental calls to the emergency services, with police explaining it accounts for around 10 calls a week.
This is down to the company's smartwatch having a feature where you can call the authorities with the press of a single button.
Apple describes it as an SOS feature; wearers can press and hold the crown, where a slider will appear to stop the call from being made. Failing to swipe the slider before the countdown ends will activate the call.
Police and other emergency services are blaming the increase in accidental calls on the popular Apple device. The US-wide complaint stems from users making the call unknowingly while moving their wrists, such as being at the gym, and then pressing the button by mistake.
Tim Smith, of the Ottawa County central dispatch, told Michigan news outlet WMEN.com that his 24-hour local branch now receives roughly 10 such calls a week. "[We] call back and find out, 'oh, it was my Apple Watch, I was exercising or I hit it wrong or hit the wrong button,'" he said.
Apple has made no comment at this time.

Bengaluru Metallers MyndSnare's Cerebral 2008 Debut 'Conditioned : Human' Gets Reissue
Sound engineer and producer Anupam Roy has remixed and remastered the album, releasing via Subcontinental Records in October

It's not often that a band says they were glad they went "overboard in a few areas" while recording their album, but it's something Bengaluru metal trio MyndSnare are glad about in retrospect. About 13 years after the release of their imposing album Conditioned : Human, MyndSnare are reissuing the record with a new mix and master (helmed by seasoned sound engineer Anupam Roy) via Subcontinental Records on October 10th.
Guitarist and vocalist K.P. Krishnamoorthy says the decision to keep the dry tracks and stems for all instruments recorded have enabled Roy "to work his magic on them" for the reissue. He adds about revisiting the album, "Initially, more than thinking about the way it was made, it brought back tons of memories about who we were, and salient experiences and events during the time we wrote and recorded these songs."
Completed by drummer Yasmin Claire Kazi and bassist Sandesh Nagaraj – and featuring original inputs from Narayan Shrouthy (currently part of metallers Inner Sanctum) – Conditioned : Human became a rattling, unfaltering offering which leaned into tech-death, prog and death metal, while also nodding to visceral old-school thrash influences as well. The two "renovated" tracks released from the album so far – "Conditioned : Human" and "Temporal Movements" – signal just how forward thinking MyndSnare were at the time, informed by bands such as Cynic, Death and more.

Ask Krishnamoorthy if they would have done anything differently during the making of the record and he points to the "mild disagreements" the band continue to have over not using a click-track. He adds, "We think the lack of a click-track led to a much more natural-sounding end result that we would've otherwise achieved."
Roy, for his part, says this opportunity to work on the album again as mixing and mastering engineer was a crack at redemption. Conditioned : Human was one of the first records that tasked Roy with mixing and mastering live drums. He adds, "Most importantly, nobody in their right mind says no to mixing Yasmin's explosive playing with the kind of tools available today and with the benefit of more than a decade of mixing a lot of drums. I was overjoyed!"
The timelessness of the nine-track record leaps forward in this reissue, something that Krishnamoorthy says was "never a goal" with the album. "Lyrically, a lot of the topics we deal with in this album have to do with authoritarian politics, religious dogma and introspection about the human condition. None of this will change very quickly in the real world, for better or for worse," he adds. Although more jaded with the state of the world at the moment, Krishnamoorthy says it was refreshing to look back at the strong feelings that fueled the angst on Conditioned : Human.
Originally released via Demonstealer Records in 2008, the album and MyndSnare have seen plenty of change since then. Kazi moved to England, while Krishnamoorthy and Nagaraj are in different parts of the U.S., but they still remain friends and occasional collaborators. "Sandy and I were part of [metal band] Fractalline, Yas and Sandy were in [experimental rock band] Serotura, and Sandy's got his own projects going on all the time, as well," Krishnamoorthy says, referring to The Sonic Chameleon, Syreim, The Replicate and more.

It's also fair to say that the release of a new version of Conditioned : Human doesn't mean they'd get back together. Krishnamoorthy says, "I don't think there'll ever be a reunion — I think it is best to let the music we recorded speak for itself. The band came to a natural stopping point after over a decade of existence, and it would be unnatural for us to try and revive it." He points out that with members in different countries, a virtual, long-distance reunion wouldn't feel right. "Collaborating over these distances will not give us the feeling of being in a band, that being in MyndSnare did — which is one of the most important things about what we were about," he adds.

02 Jan Why did Apple remove Fortnite?
The conflict started when Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite, violated an alleged condition of the Apple store by allowing users of the game to make purchases within Fortnite.
This allowed all users to purchase virtual items within Fortnite and at the same time, allowed Epic Games to avoid a 30% commission that Apple imposes on all purchases made within the applications.
Apple's decision
Apple was strict with Epic Games and knowing the "trap" of Fortnite decided to eliminate it from its App Store pointing:
"Epic has had apps on the App Store for a decade and has benefited from the App Store ecosystem, including its tools, testing and distribution that Apple provides to all developers. Epic accepted the App Store terms and guidelines freely and we are pleased that they have built such a successful business on the App Store.
The app company's decision comes at a difficult time for the company, which is facing several allegations and is being investigated in the U.S. and Europe for possible abuse of dominant position.
Epic Games sues Apple
The developers at Fortnite have not stood idly by after being removed from the App Store and have filed a lawsuit against Tim Cook's company.
In it, they claim that Apple, little by little, has become a "giant that seeks to control markets, block competition and suppress innovation".
"Apple is bigger, more powerful, more entrenched and more pernicious than the monopolies of yesteryear. Apple's size and scope far exceed that of any technological monopolist in history," Epic Games concludes in the paper.
In addition, Epic Games' communication department exploited social networks with a sensational viral video. In this parody the mythical Apple announcement "1984", although this time, instead of fighting against the IBM dictatorship, it is Epic Games who fights against "Big Brother" Apple.
Controversial, creative and timely. Although, certainly, we need time to determine how successful this strategy has been for Epic Games.

WHEN THE PANDEMIC BIT THE BIG APPLE
Bo Zaunders
Wandering Journalist
Spooky!
Not one car and not a single pedestrian.
It was early April. I was standing at a window in our midtown Manhattan apartment, overlooking Park Avenue, usually brimming with traffic and now completely empty.
The coronavirus pandemic was running rampant in New York with reported cases hovering around 10,000 every day. Every day Governor Cuomo held TV briefings, giving detailed accounts of what was happening. He also advised us as to the precautionary measures we must take, such a wearing a face mask and gloves, keeping a safe distance, washing hands frequently, and, at all costs, avoid large indoor gatherings.
Things had come to a weird standstill. Quarantine was more or less required. Most stores except groceries and pharmacies were closed and other than the frightening sound of sirens, silence reigned throughout what had become a ghost town. Since subways were no longer a good option, Roxie, my wife, moved her studio from Long Island City to our living room. In June she returned to her studio, walking most of the way and taking the ferry across the East River.
April and May are also remembered for the tributes made to essential workers. Every evening, at seven pm, I would hand Roxie a saucepan and a large metal spoon. She would lean out of the window, bang the saucepan and, intermittently, at the top of her lungs cry out "THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" Neighbors in nearby buildings joined in, and cars honked.
Wearing a face mask became the thing to do in New York City. Even statues such as Patience and Fortitude outside the Public Library, and Atlas at Rockefeller Center did it - not to mention the giant dog balancing a yellow cab on its nose outside the hospital at 34th Street and First Avenue.
If they can do it, so can I. By late summer almost everyone wore a mask.
People had left our building, mostly young professionals going back to their parents' homes in upstate NY, maybe Ohio, or Virginia, and others left for summer homes on Long Island.
Because indoor dining was not allowed, many restaurants moved outdoors filling the sidewalks and even parts of the streets.
One good thing: as you can see on the chart below, New York has flattened the curve enormously.
When will it end? Nobody knows.
Patience, one of two sculpted lions outside the New York Public Library on 5th Avenue, proudly wearing a face mask. All photos by Bo Zaunders.
The second lion, Fortitude, is similarly attired. We New Yorkers were thus reminded we needed both patience and fortitude to get through the pandemic.
The famous statue of Atlas holding up the world in front of Rockefeller Plaza was similarly attired. (Someone had to climb up there and probably needed permission.)
A Dalmation dog sculpture, Spot, balances a real NYC yellow cab on his nose in front of the entrance to the new NYU children's hospital and is also dressed for the pandemic.
So, author/photographer Bo is also appropriately decked out to walk the streets of his hometown.
New Yorkers worked very hard to flatten the curve of deaths from a scary rise from March to April 2020 to a steady decrease in May and June. New Yorkers followed the science and have slowed the coronavirus almost to a complete stop.
Gargoyles,Girders & Glass Houses by Bo Zaunders has created a picture book tribute to seven of history's most celebrated architectural wonder-workers and takes readers from the domes of Florence to the mosques of Turkey, and from the Eiffel Tower to the Chrysler Building.

Schneider Electric: First industrial smart factory in the US opens in Lexington, KY
TechRepublic visited Schneider Electric to learn how the first US smart factory is using automation to improve operational efficiencies.
Operating for more than 60 years with nearly 500 employees, Schneider Electric's Lexington facility reopened its doors on June 13 to reveal how the company has revolutionized its brownfield factory. Modernizing legacy systems is a difficult task, compared to greenfield facilities, which are built from the start with advanced technologies.
Schneider Electric has opened multiple smart factories around the world in countries including Mexico, China, France, India, the Philippines, and Indonesia. The factory in Lexington, KY is the first smart factory to open in the US.

5-year-old IoT attack resurfaces, puts millions of devices at risk
Internet of Things policy (Tech Pro Research)
For more about IoT and other innovations, subscribe to our Next Big Thing newsletter.
The ongoing digital transformation of the manufacturing industry has made such a splash in the enterprise that it sparked a new technological era: The fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0.Spearheading the revolution are connected devices using Internet of Things technology, but technologies including machine learning, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), biotechnology, nanotechnology, and quantum computing are also making an impact.
IoT is projected to have an economic impact $11 trillion by 2025, according to a recent Particle report, with the manufacturing sector seeing some of the biggest results. The manufacturing industry is using so much IoT that industry professionals have coined the term "Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)," which consists of sensors, wireless networks, and the flow of big data.
"Connected products are the foundation of everything," said Schneider Electric employee Steve Allmond during a factory tour.
EcoStruxure solutions
Schneider Electric is leveraging the power of IIoT technology through its EcoStruxure solutions, which extend across six key architectures: Power, data center, building, machine, plant, and grid. The platform aims to deliver safer, efficient, sustainable, reliable results to all users, ultimately enhancing the factory's value, said Kieren McLoughlin, vice president of IoT EcoStruxure at Schneider Electric.
These architectures undergo three layers of innovation—connected products, edge control, and apps, analytics and services—to reach four major end markets, including building, data center, industry, and grid.
Using IIoT tools have reduced downtime and cost of operations, as well as allowed factory operators to monitor and troubleshoot systems remotely, said Carlos Villa, vice president industry business at Schneider Electric.
The factory floor tour showcased 10 of the biggest digital transformation initiatives, all powered by EcoStruxure. These technologies included the auto guided vehicle, resource advisor, power monitoring expert or facility expert, 3D printing, collaborative robots, augmented operator advisor, leand digitization system, digital idea and SIM system, versatility management system, and Aveva Insights platform.
Success and hardships
Schneider Electric has been working to make the most of its data, since "data is the new currency for optimization," said McLoughlin.
Schneider Electric manufactures load centers and safety switches for its clients, and because of the IIoT implementation, the factory has seen a 20% reduction in mean time to repair and a 90% paperwork elimination. The factory is able to produce 8,000 to 9,000 load centers per day, and 3 million load centers per year, according to Luis Ortega, automation and control engineer at Schneider Electric.
Through this technology, the factory is driving end-to-end efficiency, enabling the right information to reach the right people in the right place and time, McLoughlin added.
However, this process didn't come without its difficulties. "The biggest challenge is defining clearly your business objectives," Villa said. "Don't deploy technology just for the sake of technology."
"Start with defining the problem you are trying to solve," he added. "Then, keep in mind, moving into IIoT does not have to be a large project that expands throughout the whole enterprise. You can start with a modular approach do some proof of concepts with the key bottlenecks or pain points in your process."

30 years in HR, 10 lessons
Tom Haak December 28, 2014 Trends in HR399 views
After having worked 30 years in HR, I wrote a little booklet ("30 years in HR").
What were some of the lessons I learned after 30+ years?
1. Many people have no clue what people in HR actually do
In our kitchen there is a picture on the wall of a Dutch photographer (Natascha Libbert), with a man posing between three stewardesses.When my son brings friends to our house, they often ask: "Is that your father?". And they wonder why my wife allows me to show this photo. It is not me, and the stewardesses are not real stewardesses. It is at an air-show, where the guests can be photographed. This is the picture my children have of my job. That I am traveling around the world, hiring and firing people, like George Clooney in "Up in the Air".
I leave it at that, I think it is a nice image.
Of course there are many drivers of my engagement. The company I work for. The challenges. The opportunity to make a difference. The international aspect of the job. But most important are the people I work closely with. My boss, the other people in the teams I am part of, and, most important, the core team I lead. Fortunately I have always been able to build my own team. What works best for me: a small team with ambitious professionals with whom it is fun to work. This is probably the same for most people, but I sometimes wonder why people accept mediocre teams around them. It is very difficult to build great things with a mediocre team. Today I am my own boss, and what I miss most compared to the corporate life is being part of a world-class team.
The shortest period I have worked somewhere was four years (at KPMG). The longest eight years, at Aon. At Philip I worked in total 12 years, but in two big chunks of six years. In my experience my jobs have become richer after a couple of years. The challenge is to keep renewing yourself. If you can do this successfully, the reward is big. What helped me in times I was more negative about my job was to say to myself: " I do not have to work here…".
4. Human Resources as a profession is developing slowly
Recently I was talking to a friend who is also approaching 30 years in the Human Resources arena. The question on the table was: what are the "Human Resources laws/practices" of which we think that every organization should implement these, as the evidence is clear that they contribute to the success of companies? Unfortunately our list was not very long. On top of our list: "Real attention to the people". This is of course very obvious. Do you need HR for this? Probably not. But why is it that in many organizations this basic HR/ leadership law is not practiced to the fullest extent? Talk with people, listen to people, challenge people, have constructive fights with people, and you will be more successful. Some HR practices (performance management) try to facilitate constructive conversations between people. Often the process becomes the goal, and the effectiveness can be disputed. Ask around you: how many people are really looking forward to their annual performance review (if they have one)? Selection is another good example.There is ample proof that interviews are a very poor selection instrument. Still, in most organizations, most selection processes use interviews as the main instrument.
I am convinced that HR can contribute a lot to a high performance culture. But human resources professionals should be willing to be tough and persistent. In most organisations I have worked in, performance issues were not dealt with in an appropriate way. Of course, when the performance is really poor, there is no problem. It is mediocre performance that is the issue. We blame the market. We hope next year will be better. We hope a new financial director in the team will make the difference. We do not want to be ruthless and decide to give another chance. Often the signals of mediocre performance have been there for years. Employees see it, and wonder why management is not taking action. The main lesson for me, which I try to practice: HR step up to the plate, and take your leadership role seriously. If you only consider yourself as just an advisor, you cannot be effective.
Often smaller companies look at the Human Resource practices of big multinationals as Shell, GE and Philips as the holy grail. But often these big companies are struggling.They have become so big that it is difficult to find the right human scale.They implement global systems and procedures. They publish guidelines and install committees to check if the guidelines are followed. They put people goals in the balanced scorecards of their leaders. They design rigid career tracks that should be followed if you want to be successful. Many good things, but the question is if all of this leads to the desired result: engaged people, from diverse backgrounds, who feel connected to their organization, who feel attached to the vision and who are willing to give their best to the company. A friend has his own company with more than 200 people. Hiring new people is important for him, and he is constantly busy making his company more attractive for new people and for the people who already work for him. Every Monday town hall meeting to inform everybody about plans and results. Every month something fun/ nice (a small party, a treasure hunt on Saturday). He does not have a human resources department, but the way he takes ownership and deals with human resource issues can be an example for many leaders in big companies.
7. Change is difficult, and will remain difficult
The ability of people to change, is continuously over-estimated. Human resource professionals often fuel these expectations. How can we transform poor people managers into empathic coaches? (Preferably in one week). How can we transform obedient employees into entrepreneurs? (Preferably obedient entrepreneurs). How can we transform high-level technical experts into global account managers? (Take your time, the results are only expected next year). Human resource professionals should temper high expectations. Old habits are very difficult to change, even when there is a burning platform (e.g. all the fruitless efforts to tackle obesity).
8. HR to change from followers to leaders
The times are ideal for human resource professionals to have a big impact on the organisation. But HR professionals should step up to the plate. Organisations are struggling to create the conditions where people can flourish and give their best to create an exciting future. Organisations are struggling to accelerate from hierarchy to network. HR, with their knowledge on people, organisations and change management, is ideally positioned to take the lead in realising the necessary changes.
9. The social media revolution has just started
In 1994, 20 years ago, I had my first experience with internet, and in 1995 I got my first mobile phone. In the last years the use of social media has accelerated. Organizations are wondering how to use this development for their benefit. Tackling the challenge with traditional approaches ("We need a Social Media policy", "We should ask Communications to develop a plan") is a dead-end street. Again, big chance for HR, as recruitment and marketing are areas at the front of social media usage.
10. Let's finally get rid of "One size fits all"
"One size fits all" or the socialistic approach to HR are difficult to get rid of. HR often has its roots in "Rules & Regulations", and with these roots it is difficult to promote diversity and segmentation. HR can learn here from other disciplines (as marketing and advertising). Modern advertising agencies develop several versions of their marketing material and test on-line what works for what group. The yellow version might work for women over 50, the red version for men who own a Harley Davidson etc. Then they use the different versions to approach the different target groups. How can HR transfer these lessons, e.g. to learning and development, or career management?

Employee Experience: hype or solid trend?
Robert Grover August 17, 2017
Four big HR issues in almost all large organizations


Peter Jackson. London Stereoscopic Company, 2 December 1889.
"Guess who was the most photographed American of the nineteenth century." Fletcher University Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., director of the Hutchins Center for African and African-American Studies, prepares for the surprise on my face.
As it turns out, the answer is Frederick Douglass. Researchers have found at least 160 photographs of Douglass, who praised the medium of photography for enabling him to counter the racial caricatures so frequent in artistic representation of black people at the time. It should not be wholly surprising that one of the most prominent American figures of his era would also be the most photographed—yet black history is often marginalized in the history of the West.
In the Hutchins Center's Cooper Gallery of African & African American Art , Gates and I stand in front of a portrait of a black man, Peter Jackson, taken in 1889. Jackson, wearing a top hat and a three-piece suit, occupies the full frame with what Gates describes as "Victorian African swag." Jackson's hands rest casually in his pockets as he gazes assuredly at the camera, refusing to be erased.
Opening to the public on September 3 and on display until December 11, Black Chronicles II  presents photographs of people of color (most are black, some are South Asian) in nineteenth-century Britain. In a world that rarely portrays black people in positions of regal power and dominance, the exhibit asserts the existence of people of color in the photographic record, and more broadly, the Western historical narrative. The exhibit's stay at Harvard—a university campus where dining halls and libraries are adorned almost exclusively with pictures of white faces—marks the first appearance of these images in the United States.
The exhibition, curated by Renée Mussai and Mark Sealy of Autograph ABP, a British nonprofit that advocates the representation of historically marginalized communities in photography, is a collaboration with the Hulton Archive/Getty Images of London; the majority of its photographs were printed large-scale from their glass-plate negatives for display for the first time since the 1880s. Black Chronicles II represents an ongoing research project for Autograph ABP. "During the early stages of the research, we made the somewhat maverick decision to showcase the work as it emerges," says Mussai, who noted that she and Sealy released images within months of their discovery at the Hulton Archive.
Eleanor Xiniwe, The African Choir. London Stereoscopic Company, 1891.
Albert Jonas and John Xiniwe, The African Choir. London Stereoscopic Company, 1891.
For black people, existence and resistance are not separate. The ability of these nineteenth- and twentieth-century images to engage with black activism in our current political moment is not lost on gallery director Vera Ingrid Grant, who, when asked about how the exhibition fits into ongoing conversations about race in America, said of Harvard, "This is not a political place, but an academic one—this is a nonprofit university." But, at the Cooper Gallery, she added, "We may negotiate that line, and we will move forward with full intent to do what we may do. Art has a different and open discursive agenda in which things may be discussed that perhaps may not be addressed in a formal, textual space of discourse." Grant aims for the gallery to be open to community outreach and student initiatives that bring it into more direct conversations about current events.
And we are still here, speaking.

The Borama alphabet (Borama: 𐒄𐒋𐒦𐒩𐒗𐒓) is a writing script for the Somali language. It was devised around 1933 by Sheikh Abdurahman Sheikh Nuur of the Gadabuursi clan.
Though not as widely known as Osmanya, the other major orthography for transcribing Somali, Borama has produced a notable body of literature mainly consisting of qasidas.
A quite accurate phonetic writing system, the Borama script was principally used by Nuur and his circle of associates in his native city of Borama.
This script is also generally known as the Gadabuursi script.

THE CASE FOR CHEMICAL EXPORT CONTROLS
Coverage in Africa: Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, South Africa
Contents: Use of U.S. Herbicides by Portugal and the Republic of South Africa • U.S. Sale of Herbicides • Questions of Law • Chemicals to South America? • Chemicals Controlled: At Home • Legislation Before Congress • The report says one of the profoundly disturbing and dangerous legacies of American involvement in the Indochina War may be the advent of the age of chemical warfare; for eight years, until 1970, the United States employed the now - infamous "Agent Orange," a teratogenic (fetus-damaging) herbicide in Southeast Asia. The report says experts estimate that this chemical spraying caused the destruction of enough food to feed approximately 600,000 persons for a year. The report says besides inflicting immediate damage upon the land, crops and people of Indochina, Agent Orange may very well have caused genetic damage to the Vietnamese people for generations to come. The report says the American chemical program was terminated in December, 1970 after studies by the National Cancer Institute showed that the administration of herbicide to mice produced abnormal fetuses; tragically, however, the damage had already been done; further, the Vietnamese have learned quickly and thoroughly the American way of war. The report says it has recently come to my attention that the excessive amount of chemical herbicides that the United States government and private business sell to Portugal and South Africa is being used to continue and intensify the colonial warfare in the Portuguese colonies of Angola and Mozambique. The report says it appears that Portuguese and South African airplanes are perpetrating a massive spraying of food crops, particularly cassava, to stifle support for the liberation movement that is rapidly growing among farmers and peasants in Angola and Mozambique. The report says on August 23, 1972, the Times of Zambia reported that approximately 1,300 Angolans had fled across the border into Zambia seeking food after the poisonous destruction of their crops. The report says African-interest groups such as the Washington Office on Africa and the American Committee on Africa have sought to document and publicize this horrid affair; in their November, 1972 newsletter, the Washington group reported American involvement in the supplying of these chemicals for use in the African war. The report says I am not only incensed about U.S. involvement in this African war on moral and ethical grounds, but it is also clear to me that our chemical sales violate the precepts of international law. The report says though the herbicides-in-question were shortsightedly removed from the munitions list three years ago, the 2,4,5-T sales are clearly transgressing the 1961 embargo of military material to Portugal and South Africa established under the Kennedy Administration. The report says we are also violating the spirit and intent of the embargo created by the Security Council of the United Nations on August 7, 1973. The report says the past fifty years, immediately following World War I, have seen a proliferation of protocols and resolutions adopted condemning the involvement, in any form, of nations in chemical aggressions; included among these are the Washington Conference Resolutions of 1922 and the Geneva Protocol of 1925; the United States, by supplying the weapons of war to racist nations such as Portugal and South Africa, is unquestionably violating the meaning and intent of these and other declarations. The report says I have introduced two pieces of legislation in the House of Representatives designed to halt the exportation of poisonous chemicals; "The Herbicide Export Control Act of 1973 '' will prohibit the exportation of 2,4,5-T herbicide; "The Chemical Warfare Prevention Act of 1973" will immediately ban the sale of herbicides to Portugal and the Republic of South Africa. The report says obviously, the chemicals that are being exported are no more than a drop in the enormously large bucket of American trade and foreign commerce; but to the citizens of Angola and Mozambique, these chemicals are the fodder for the brutal aggression being waged against them; to the concerned and caring members of the world community, these exports stain the good name and reputation of the United States. The report includes excerpts from articles in The New York Times and the Daily News. The report discusses Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, The New York Times, Harvard biochemists, shrimp, South Vietnam, the Angolan liberation movement, the Washington Office on Africa (WOA), the American Committee on Africa (ACOA), arms, ammunition, military vehicles, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), United Nations Resolution 2603A (XXIV), chemical warfare, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Brazilian government.

Letter: Burke has a horrible jobs record
Walker is moving our state forward. Burke is a third term for Doyle.
Letter: Burke has a horrible jobs record Walker is moving our state forward. Burke is a third term for Doyle. Check out this story on stevenspointjournal.com: http://spjour.nl/1tGtl0F
Letters to the editor Published 1:51 p.m. CT Aug. 26, 2014
Mary Burke (Photo: Oshkosh Northwestern Media File Photo)Buy Photo
EDITOR: When deciding who to vote for in this year's election for governor, it is important to consider the records of the two candidates. After all, the best indicator of someone's future success is his or her past performance.
When it comes to comparing the records of Mary Burke and Scott Walker on jobs and this state's economy, there is a clear difference. Under Walker's strong leadership, businesses have created over 100,000 new Wisconsin jobs. Thanks to the governor's pro-growth policies, we have also seen nearly 24,000 new businesses created in the state. Compare this to the record of Burke as Jim Doyle's Commerce Secretary. As a result of the policies of their administration, over 133,000 jobs and 27,000 businesses fled the state.
If Burke wants to continue to focus her campaign around distorting and attacking Walker's record on jobs, she needs to defend her own horrendous performance on jobs as Doyle's Commerce Secretary. Of course, she won't ever discuss her own record, because when you objectively look at the two candidates' records side by side, there really is no comparison. Walker is the only candidate who will continue to take our state and its economy forward.

mtflat, the front springs have 8 leaves.
F1's had 8 springs as std. F2/3 also had 8 but with a higher deflection weight. Does it have running boards? Boards for flatbeds were a lot shorter than F1s and were curved end to fit the rear fender. Flatbed boards had a rounded back end. Its possible the original box was removed and a flatbed installed - with the box saved for "someday". I've done that myself on newer trucks. Nothing that I know of in the serial number would indicate that - unless maybe the model characters off the glovebox door (rating plate) shows it.
The character after the F would likely be an I since Ford chose to use that instead on a numerical 1. Quirky, I know, but so it goes.
If you can verify the original cab color it would fill in a blank I've had for gray. Assembly plants started to code color with numbers, then changed to letters. "S" might be it..... if you get a chance look under the dash, behind the gas tank or under the kick panels for original color.
mtflat, The running boards are for an F1, with the curved ends that fit the fenders. Based on the way they were rusted to the front fenders, it's safe to say they weren't replaced when the current bed was added. The rating plate on the glovebox door is for an F1, with model characters 9 H C.
I looked over the cab closely last night and everything was looking grey (behind where kick panels used to be, under what's left of the headliner edge, hinges for glovebox, firewall inside & out, gaps between mating panels on the front clip (where I could see...) until I looked behind the gas tank. It looks to be a brown/maroon...ish color. This color is behind the tank and it's mounting flange. Looks like the inside of the cab and gas tank were painted grey with the tank installed in the cab. I started looking for other traces of that color and the only small spot I saw was a very worn spot on the passenger door just below the vent wing. All other areas (rusted areas, chips, scratches, ...) show only the grey. Maybe this brown/maroon...ish color would have been a primer? I didn't know that was a standard color for 1950.
Try this site for avaialble colors.
Interesting site for colors kid! It's good as far as it goes and while it is a bit incomplete, it does show the stock numbers for cross-reference.
Tim, the reddish-brown color you see under the gray is red-oxide primer. Commonly used by Ford and is very tough.
Everything sounds like your truck is an F1 that somebody added helper springs to the rear. Could have been a dealer thing or more likely a previous owner who wanted to haul more weight. The springs and mounting systems were sold in a lot of different configurations.
So gray is "S" - I'm sure Carl will add this to his data.
3.) Raise bed panel, possibly original?
I am selling this truck and figured it would be good to add to the database while I still had it.
so anyone know what year this really is? I guess I better read back through all these posts, this list is getting long!
the last 5 numbers of the vin are supposed to be six digits not 5 ?? I'll have to go look again see if I missed something .
after looking again It's hard to say but looks like a 1 so it would be 218281 ?
Five digits are fine for the sequence number on a 48 which appears to be what you have. A 200,000 vin sequence number would be a 49 or a 50.
The truck came from Nebraska.
Apprecaite the contribution. Looks like a later 1948.
The stampings favor the top and right and are not very deep.
I'll bet that second letter in question is a "P", thus HP for Highland Park.
The 22 is where the paint code would generally be. 2 would have been Vermillion Red. Not sure why there would be 22 there.
The 31 would be in the area of the date code. Either something is missing or they were still sorting out there system when this one was stamped.
I know what you mean about the stampings being somewhat light. Many were that way.
I'm the second owner, bought it in 1962, changed registration in 1967 to my name.
Numbers all look right for a 48. Thanks for conributing. Rarely do we got one that's a second owner.
*97HC*312907*DL . The same information appears to be on the glove box door, although it's difficult to read.
The truck came from Texas. I believe that the original color was black. It is outfitted with a grill guard and rear bumper with trailer hitch. A plate on the rear bumper says, " Another Smash Hit Product, Grill Gaurds & Bumpers, The Perry Company, Waco, Texas.
I've attempted to attach a picture of the fiirewall and of the truck as it looked when I took delivery.

Home Recording Made Easy
How To Record A Song Today And Keep It Forever
How to record a song? This is one of the most common questions I get asked…. And it is not something new! One of my most treasured possessions is an old 78 rpm vinyl recording of my father singing 'Bless This House' made when he was an 11 year old chorister. It only exists because his parents went to some considerable expense and trouble to get it made. The technical difficulty back then was quite considerable, and if you wanted to find out how to record a song you had to go along to a specialist studio and put yourself (and your hard earned money) in their hands. But I am so glad they took the time and trouble to create this unique keepsake.
A client I spoke to recently is an acoustic guitarist and singer. It turns out that over the years he has written a number of songs for guitar and voice, and he was keen to learn how to record a song 'for posterity' for his grandchildren. He only had a small budget and not much technical knowledge of how to record a song. The obvious solution for him was a USB condenser microphone. I explained to him how easy it is to simply set the microphone up on the stand provided, plug the mic into the USB port of your computer and then the mic is ready to record with great results almost instantly.
Many USB mics come with free recording software, but for simplicity I recommend starting out with Audacity. It is completely free, extremely easy to set up and use and I love their informative site. There are plenty of tutorials, tips and tricks so you can get great recording results really quickly and there are several articles on how to record a song very easily. Why should getting to grips with complicated software be a barrier when there are simple (and free) solutions out there?
So if you want to know how to record a song on a very tight budget it is as simple as 1-2-3.
1. Acquire a decent USB microphone. For acoustic instruments and voice go for a condenser mic, which with a good frequency response to capture all the nuances of your singing and playing. If you want to record over backing tracks then look for one with a headphone output so you can listen to the track and overdub at the same time.
2. Download Audacity. It's free and very simple!
3. Set it up the mic, plug it into your USB port and you are all ready to record. Once you have a good set of songs recorded and edited, they can be easily exported from Audacity in standard *.wav format. That is a universal format for an audio file. It is then just a case of burning these files onto CD, which is easily done within Windows.
The other option is to create your own MP3 files which is very simple too. Again there are full instructions and tutorials about downloading the Lame Encoder and creating MP3 files with Audacity on their excellent site.
The customer's idea was that by learning how to record a song, he would be able to save them forever for his grandchildren to listen to when they grew up. He said he was sure the idea might irritate everyone now, but one day they might be very glad he had taken the trouble! I think he is right if they treasure his recordings half as much as I do my father's.

"If after listening anyone says that perfection does not exist, then I do not know what could be better than that."
"Your talent and wonderful sound is striking!"
INGENIUM ENSEMBLE is a vocal ensemble of six singers from Ljubljana (Slovenia). The group was founded in 2009.
In May 2014 they received the most extra prizes of the International A Cappella Competition in Leipzig – the audience award and the special award (presented by the host group Amarcord) for best unamplified a cappella group and the best performed unamplified song. In August 2014 they won the vocal group category and the renaissance category and got two first prizes in the international competition Polifonico in Arezzo (Italy). They also received the highest score of the entire competition. In November 2014 they won both, the secular and profane category and also received the public award in prestigious international choral competition in Tolosa (Spain). In 2014 they released their first musical album "Ingenium".
In January 2015 Ingenium Ensemble received the Golden Emblem for outstanding achievements in vocal music by JSKD (Public Fund of Slovenia for Cultural Activities).
The ensemble mostly performs madrigals and motets from renaissance period, arrangements of Slovenian folksongs and new contemporary pieces composed by the young Slovenian authors. The main purpose of the ensemble is presenting rarely performed or even unknown masterpieces, promoting the young composers and growing in quality of the sound and performance itself.
The Ingenium Ensemble singers are: Blanka Čakš (soprano), Petra Frece (mezzo-soprano), Blaž Strmole (tenor), Domen Anžlovar (tenor), Matjaž Strmole (baritone) and Žiga Berložnik (bass).
In January 2014 the debut album "Ingenium" of Ingenium Ensemble has been released. The CD was recorded in Slovenia in cooperation with Barnaby Smith, the artistic director of the renowned British vocal group VOCES8, who was in charge of both recording and production. The final phase of making the album was made in the Abbey Road studios in London.
The album represents a selection of different types of music that represents the variety of their repertoire: Italian Madrigal with a combination of love and military theme (Giovanni Gastoldi: Amor Vittorioso, Giaches de Wert: M'ha punt' Amor), exotic Portuguese villancico (Gaspar Fernandes: Pois con tanta Graça), German protestant motet (Heinrich Schütz: Die Himmel erzählen die Ehre Gottes) Latin motet by Slovenian composer (Damijan Močnik: Verbum supernum prodiens), Orthodox piece (Stevan Mokranjac: Njest svjat), English romantic song (Robert Pearsall: Light of My Soul), arrangement of the French medieval song (Blaž Strmole: L'homme armé), Slovenian folk song and arrangements on folk tunes (France Cigan: Domov v slovenski kraj, Hilarij Lavrenčič: Petelinček je zapiel, Matija Krečič: Vöra bije) and the arrangement of contemporary popular song (Billy Joel, arr.

Auxiliary looks for fresh faces
Auxiliary looks for fresh faces	Peter Miller
Rural Northwest Health's Warracknabeal auxiliary is looking for like-minded people who enjoy working as a group to help support their local health service.
The auxiliary is a little light on numbers and president Bev Joyce wants to recruit some fresh faces to the group. She said gender would not matter.
"We are keen to get both men and women onto the auxiliary and would love to have a few younger members too," Mrs Joyce said.
"We meet once a month at the Rural Northwest Health Warracknabeal campus and we work on a handful of projects each year," she said.
"So it's not necessarily a major commitment but it is certainly a rewarding one."
Mrs Joyce said auxiliary projects included an annual raffle and a variety of craft activities.
"We crochet blankets and make items for aged care and acute," she said.
"We like to get involved in special projects and some of our more recent examples include donating a toy box and outdoor play gym to the acute unit and providing outdoor seating and iPads for Yarriambiack Lodge residents."
The auxiliary meets on the third Wednesday of each month. Anyone interested in becoming involved can contact the secretary Sharon Powell on 5396 1200 during business hours.
