The TRIRON series controllers are modular-designed products based on nine MPPT solar controller models. The main unit (Power Module) is a solar controller which can be integrated with different display and interface modules to meet a variety of functional requirements. Among them, the master and slave interface module can synchronize and view the controller and inverter operating data on the LCD.
Optimizing the MPPT control algorithm further to ensure minimum power point loss rate and loss time, and quickly track the maximum power point to obtain the maximum solar energy of PV array in any environment. Meanwhile, TRIRON controller adds automatic limit function of charging power and current, so that the controller would not be damaged even connecting oversized PV modules (the actual working value would not be higher than rated value).
The controller adopts the three-stage charging mode, and has perfect electronic protection function, which can effectively extend the battery life, improve the system performance, and ensure the system safety, stability and long-term operation. TRIRION controller can be widely used in RV, telecommunication base station, household system, field monitoring, etc.


Unfortunately, the way the FCC gathers data leads to obvious misrepresentation. Each year, a survey called "Form 477," is sent to internet service providers (ISPs) to determine where they are offering broadband access. The data is aggregated by census blocks, and providers are asked if they "do" or "could" serve just one home or business inside that geographic area. If the answer is yes, then everyone inside that given census block is effectively counted as having access to broadband.
Thankfully, the urgent need to close the broadband gap is something both sides of the aisle can agree upon. And I am grateful to our state's leadership in Washington for leading on this effort. However, the FCC must re-evaluate and update the methods it uses to gather data in order for there to be a clear representation of the issue.

Gertrud Luckner (* 26. September 1900 in Liverpool als Jane Hartmann; † 31. August 1995 in Freiburg im Breisgau) war eine christliche Widerstandskämpferin gegen den Nationalsozialismus.

Leben

Kindheit, Jugend und Ausbildung
Gertrud Luckner kam als Jane Hartmann, Tochter von Robert und Gertrude Hartmann, im britischen Liverpool zur Welt. Nachdem ihre Eltern kurz nach ihrer Geburt auf einer Reise verschollen waren, wurde sie von dem deutschen Ehepaar Luckner in Pflege genommen. Vermutlich ließen die Luckners das Kind evangelisch taufen. Die Familie übersiedelte 1907 nach Berlin und 1917 nach Königsberg. Im Alter von 22 Jahren wurde sie schließlich von ihren Pflegeeltern adoptiert, nachdem sie kurz zuvor die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft erhalten hatte; seitdem führte sie den Namen Gertrud Jane Luckner. Nach Besuch des Gymnasiums in Berlin und Königsberg nahm sie 1925 das Studium der Volkswirtschaft an der dortigen Universität auf. Während ihrer Studienjahre starben ihre Adoptiveltern, und Gertrud bestritt ihren Lebensunterhalt mit Sprachkursen, Praktika in Familienfürsorge, Mütterberatung, Gesundheitsfürsorge und Berufsberatung. Über die Universität Frankfurt am Main und das Woodbrooke-College der Quäker in Birmingham kam sie 1931 als Diplom-Volkswirtin an die Albert-Ludwigs-Universität in Freiburg im Breisgau. Hier erwarb sie 1938 den Titel eines Dr. rer. pol.

Überzeugung und Engagement

Gertrud Luckner war überzeugte Pazifistin, sie gehörte seit 1933/34 dem Friedensbund Deutscher Katholiken und von 1931 bis 1934 auch den Quäkern an. Im Jahr 1934 ließ sie sich römisch-katholisch taufen und distanzierte sich theologisch vom Quäkertum, doch blieb sie Pazifistin. Mit diesen Aktivitäten war sie dem NS-Regime suspekt. Bereits seit 1933 wurde ihre Post von der Polizei überwacht.

Luckner begann ihre Unterstützung für jüdische Deutsche zur Zeit der Verabschiedung der Nürnberger Gesetze (1935) und setzte diese Tätigkeit nach der Reichspogromnacht (1938) fort. Sie riet bereits kurz nach der sogenannten Machtergreifung Juden zur Auswanderung und half ihnen dabei. Seit 1936 war sie (zeitweise zusammen mit Eva Laubhardt) von der Caritas angestellt und setzte dort unter der Leitung und dem Schutz des Caritaspräsidenten Benedikt Kreutz ihre Tätigkeit für verfolgte Juden als Gegenstück zum Berliner Büro Grüber fort. Der Freiburger Erzbischof Conrad Gröber erteilte ihr zu ihrem Schutz im Dezember 1941 den formulierten Dienstauftrag, dass sie "mit der Durchführung notwendiger Aufgaben der außerordentlichen Seelsorge" betraut sei. Auf Reisen überbrachte sie die ihr anvertrauten Geld- und Sachmittel, stellte sich öffentlich auf die Seite der Juden, ging mit ihnen, nachdem sie 1941 zum Tragen des Judensterns gezwungen worden waren, spazieren oder begleitete sie in den Gottesdienst und half ihnen bei den nach Kriegsbeginn nur noch selten durchgeführten Fluchtunternehmungen aus den vom Deutschen Reich kontrollierten Gebieten. Sie betrieb vor allem die Fluchthilfe über die schweizerische Grenze, die Sabotage von Transportlastwagen, welche für Judendeportationen genutzt wurden und die Suche nach sicheren Verstecken für Juden. Luckner beabsichtigte nach eigenen Angaben über die Caritas-Strukturen im Reichsgebiet vertrauenswürdige Personen dezentral zu positionieren. Diese sollten dann ein breites Netzwerk von Helfern bilden. Durch die Gleichschaltung der Caritas konnte dies nicht umgesetzt werden. Über ihren persönlichen Kontakt zu Leo Baeck konnte sie aber Kontakt zu klandestinen jüdischen Strukturen aufnehmen.

Denunziation, Verhaftung und Internierung
Aufgrund der Denunziation Luckners durch eine Mitarbeiterin des Caritas-Verbandes in Düsseldorf erfuhr die Gestapo im Sommer 1942 von einer geplanten und wenig später durchgeführten Hilfsaktion. Gertrud Luckner reiste hierfür nach Düsseldorf, um dort mit Hilfe einer Fürsorgerin des Caritas-Verbandes ("Frl. Heidkamp") ein jüdisches Kind, dessen Vater deportiert worden war und dessen Mutter sich vor der Deportation das Leben genommen hatte, in einer "arischen" Pflegefamilie unterzubringen.

In Unkenntnis davon, dass diese Aktion bereits von der Gestapo beobachtet und registriert worden war, setzte Luckner ihr Engagement unvermindert fort. Nachdem ihre Überwachung von Herbst 1942 an verschärft worden war, wurde Gertrud Luckner am 24. März 1943 aufgrund denunziatorischer Hinweise Franz Xaver Rappeneckers, eines V-Mannes der Gestapo innerhalb des Caritas-Verbandes in Freiburg, verhaftet. Sie befand sich zu diesem Zeitpunkt auf einer Zugfahrt von Freiburg nach Berlin, um Rabbi Baeck 1000 Mark zur Unterstützung der jüdischen Gemeinde in Berlin zu überbringen.

Ein Kriminalbeamter der Bahnpolizei erklärte ihr die vorläufige Festnahme und übergab sie in Karlsruhe der Gestapo-Stelle Karlsruhe und dem Düsseldorfer Polizeisekretär von Ameln. Luckner wurde in das Polizeigefängnis Wuppertal gebracht, wo sie vom 25. März 1943 an drei Wochen lang "fast jede Nacht bis in die frühen Morgenstunden" vernommen wurde. Vom 14. April bis zum 24. Juli war sie im Düsseldorfer Polizeigefängnis, anschließend in Berlin im Polizeigefängnis am Alexanderplatz untergebracht.

Vom 5. November 1943 an war Gertrud Luckner schließlich im KZ Ravensbrück interniert. Dort trug sie den roten Winkel einer "Politischen", musste schwere Zwangsarbeit, u. a. für die Firma Siemens & Halske, leisten und überlebte nur mit Hilfe von Leidensgenossinnen wie der Liobaschwester Eva Placida Laubhardt, der Quäkerin Hildegard Hansche, der Seelsorgehelferin Katharina Katzenmaier und unbekannten Wiener Kommunistinnen. Am 30. April 1945 befreite die Rote Armee Ravensbrück. Luckner befand sich zu diesem Zeitpunkt auf einem am 27. April von der SS zur Räumung des Lagers begonnenen Todesmarsch, der am 3. Mai 1945 von der Roten Armee eingeholt und befreit wurde.

Nach der Befreiung
Noch im Jahr 1945 erfuhr Gertrud Luckner durch Einsicht in Gestapoakten, wie und durch wen es zu ihrer Überwachung und Verhaftung gekommen war. Sie "hege keinerlei Rachegefühle gegen Personen in und außerhalb des kirchlichen Bereiches, die zu meiner Verhaftung mittelbar oder unmittelbar beigetragen haben...", gab sie 1947 gegenüber dem Generalstaatsanwalt zu Protokoll. Lediglich als sie 1945 erfuhr, dass Franz Xaver Rappenecker sich um einen maßgeblichen Posten bewarb, stellte sie ihn persönlich zur Rede und er bestätigte, dass er der Gestapo als Auskunftsperson gedient habe. In der badischen Regierung unter Leo Wohleb wurde er Ministerialdirektor im Ministerium für Wirtschaft und Kultur. Er wurde am 23. März 1955 von der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg zum Ehrensenator ernannt. Aufgrund seiner Denunziation Luckners hat sich die Universität am 25. Oktober 2017, der Empfehlung einer Expertenkommission folgend, von dieser Ernennung distanziert.

Nach Gertrud Luckners Einschätzung versuchte die Gestapo durch die Bespitzelungen und nachfolgenden Verhöre den Freiburger Erzbischof Gröber als einflussreichen Unterstützer der Hilfsaktionen zu entlarven. Die Gestapo vermutete jedoch aufgrund der vielen Kontakte Luckners, insbesondere nach Großbritannien, sogar, sie betreibe zusammen mit Gröber eine Nachrichtenzentrale ins Ausland.

Spätere Tätigkeiten
Nach dem Krieg leitete Gertrud Luckner die Verfolgtenfürsorge der Caritas. Nach ihrer Pensionierung 1968 setzte sie ihre Tätigkeit als Schriftleiterin des Freiburger Rundbriefs zur Förderung der Freundschaft zwischen dem alten und neuen Gottesvolk – im Geist der beiden Testamente fort, den sie gemeinsam mit Karl Thieme und einem Kreis engagierter Freiburger Katholiken anlässlich des ersten Nachkriegskatholikentags 1948 gegründet hatte. Im Alter von 94 Jahren starb Gertrud Luckner in Freiburg im Breisgau und fand dort auch ihre letzte Ruhestätte. Ihr Büchernachlass befindet sich in der Universitätsbibliothek Freiburg.

Ehrungen

1953 erhielt Gertrud Luckner das Bundesverdienstkreuz am Bande, 1960 das Päpstliche Ehrenkreuz und 1965 das Bundesverdienstkreuz 1. Klasse. 1951 wurde sie als erste deutsche Katholikin vom Staat Israel eingeladen und neun Jahre später wurde zu ihren Ehren in der Nähe von Nazaret ein Gertrud-Luckner-Hain gepflanzt. 1966 zeichnete der Staat Israel sie in Yad Vashem als Gerechte unter den Völkern aus. 1979 wurde sie Ehrenbürgerin von Freiburg im Breisgau. 1987 gab sich die Freiburger Gewerbeschule IV in ihrem Beisein den Namen Gertrud-Luckner-Gewerbeschule. Ein Stolperstein ist vor der Schule in den Gehweg eingelassen. 1994 erhielt sie die Verdienstmedaille des Landes Baden-Württemberg.

Der Deutsche Caritasverband stiftete im Andenken an Gertrud Luckner einen gleichnamigen Wissenschaftspreis, der im Oktober 2006 erstmals verliehen wurde. Mit dem Gertrud-Luckner-Preis zur Förderung der Wissenschaft in der Sozialen Arbeit wird alle zwei Jahre eine herausragende Abschlussarbeit aus Universitäten oder Fachhochschulen ausgezeichnet.

Am 31. März 2007 wurde Gertrud Luckner von den Leserinnen und Lesern der Badischen Zeitung zur bedeutendsten Persönlichkeit Freiburgs gewählt.

Im November 2010 beschloss die Stadt Freiburg die Schaffung der Gertrud-Luckner-Medaille für "außerordentliche und dauerhaft wirkende Verdienste". Sie wurde im Februar 2011 erstmals verliehen.

Anlässlich des 900-jährigen Jubiläums der Stadt Freiburg wurde Ende 2020 ein Banner des Vereins "Wahlkreis 100%" mit einem Schwarzweiß-Foto einer Straßenszene von 1936 mit der Widerstandskämpferin am Schwabentorring an der Freiburger Universitätsbibliothek angebracht. Neben der UB steht das frühere Werthmannhaus der Caritas, in dem Luckner damals gearbeitet hat. Ursprünglich sollte es schon im September angebracht werden, aufgrund zweier Hakenkreuzfahnen im Hintergrund des Fotos hatte die Universitätsverwaltung die Hängung gestoppt. Die Fahnen wurden nun durch ein Schriftfeld überdeckt bzw. retuschiert.

Why Is It Important To Hire A Motorcycle Accident Attorney To Handle Your Case?
Motorcycle Terms
By far, the most common reason for motorcycle accidents is that someone makes a left turn in front of the motorcyclist, or runs directly into the motorcyclist. Most of the cases I handle involve unsafe left turns. These dangerous accidents result in the rider flying forward, often over the vehicle. When the rider flies off the motorcycle, there is a risk of sustaining a head injury, which is unfortunately common, or a lower limb injury, because the rider's legs are exposed and no equipment in the world that could prevent the motorcyclist from breaking a leg in an accident on a motorcycle.
As an attorney who has handled motorcycle cases for 40 years, I have learned the many nuances of these accidents that aren't contained in any books.
What Happens After the Accident?
Because of the serious injuries that typically result, the rider is taken out of circulation after the accident. Because of this, it is common for a wife, girlfriend, friend or parent to contact the attorney on behalf someone in a hospital. We will start by getting everything together, including the police report. We will look at the motorcycle, take photographs, and begin to analyze what happened from the physical evidence and so forth.
Right from the start, these accidents require specialized knowledge. Careful examination of the motorcycle will reveal the secrets of what took place. It may be possible to determine the speed of the motorcycle, how the motorcycle went down, and even whether the lights were working at the time of the accident. The motorcycle must be photographed properly, so that the experts have what they need when it is time to present the case. This is not the same as simply taking a lot of high resolution photographs. The photographer must know what he or she is looking at.
After that, it's a matter of documenting things. There is a big difference between documenting a case correctly and thoroughly or just collecting what the client has, and missing things. At the accident scene, there will usually be bits of plastic and marks on the pavement which may not be around for long. The helmet may have marks on it that could be critical in proving a head injury, so we'll want to keep it. Since it is standard protocol for clothing to be cut off by first responders, it's possible to recover clothing with scuffs or scrapes that can help with the accident reconstruction. Skid marks are nothing but small bits of rubber, and these will disappear quickly.
Every case consist of many small details, each one of which has to be addressed and will add up. Particularly in the biggest cases in which the injuries are obvious, and even when the whole accident was caught on video, the defense will argue over every detail. The amount of litigation that goes on and the effort the insurance companies will make to fight every one of these little details means no case is ever easy.
Are Motorcycle Accidents Common?
Motorcycles do not necessarily have more accidents than car and truck accidents, but they feature more and worse injuries because the riders are not protected by the bodywork of a car. Motorcyclists are 26 times more likely to be killed in an accident, and they are far more likely to sustain head injuries. Another reason it seems like there are more motorcycle accidents is because these injuries are lasting, whereas most injuries in automobiles heal far more quickly.
For some reason, drivers don't seem to pay much attention to motorcycles or watch out for them.
Misconceptions about Motorcycle Accidents
Invariably, witnesses and police investigators assume and believe that the motorcyclist caused the accident by speeding. In fact, most accidents occur because the non-motorcyclist driver failed to pay attention.
The biggest misconception about motorcycle accidents comes from those who don't ride them. Many people seem to believe that because motorcycles are narrower than cars, they can do magical things to avoid accidents. This leads to constant litigation regarding whether or not the motorcyclist could have stopped or swerved and avoided the accident.
A motorcycle turns by leaning, which is not a fast way to turn; certainly not as fast as turning a car. Also, most motorcycles do not have ABS brakes, which would enable the rider to hit the brakes and turn at the same time, so for now they have to make a decision whether to do one or the other. The fact that the motorcyclist is exposed leads to situations where typically even motorcyclists who have had the best training available will be faced with mortal danger and 4000 years of evolution will take over, causing the adrenalin will kick in, which means they will just grab the brake and lock it up.
Most motorcycle accidents need to be analyzed by determining who could see what, and where they were when they saw it. Even if a motorcycle was going a little over the speed limit, there is usually no excuse for cutting it off at an intersection.
Does the Trauma Cause Riders to Stop Riding Motorcycles?
This is extremely common, because there is often a lot more than just a little bit of trauma. It is very common for post-traumatic stress disorders to set in, causing the rider to not only be concerned about the accident, but to also experience flashbacks while driving along during the day. Such people need to be treated by a psychologist and they will need to have the post-traumatic stress disorder portion of their case properly documented, prepared and presented so they could get compensated for that.
For the motorcycle rider, this can be a major life change. Many have been riding for many years, and riding a motorcycle is an important part of who they are. Finding that they are no longer able to ride or comfortable on a motorcycle can be quite upsetting.

For those Marvel fans in the know, Good Morning America is your morning show of choice. Being that it, like Marvel Studios, is owned by Disney, that program is where the latest Marvel Studios trailers will debut. Today, it was Captain Marvel's turn.
The debut was showcased in a live remote at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum where Brie Larson and a number of young students made a big show of introducing the clip to an eagerly awaiting public.
How was the trailer? Well, you can see for yourself below. But for me, it lacked a certain "WOW" factor. Granted, the first trailer of any film will not tell you all that much about it–the biggest plot point revealed here is that Carol Danvers has memories of being on Earth even though she shouldn't have any–but there wasn't much revealed here that wasn't shown in the recent Entertainment Weekly article. Getting a fleeting glimpse of the villainous Skrulls in the trailer is quite that impressive when we got a high resolution image of them just two weeks prior.
Don't get me wrong, it is a well made trailer, touching all the bases a first trailer needs to. We get to see that Samuel L. Jackson's de-aged Nick Fury will probably play a sizable role in the film. And that quick glimpse of young Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) with his magnificent head of hair was pretty cool. But if you have a subscription to Entertainment Weekly, don't expect any other shocks or surprises.

Malnutrition still endemic: UN
Pech Sotheary | Publication date 27 March 2015 | 07:32 ICT
Women wait to have their children's health checked at a Phnom Penh hospital. A new report released by the UN says more measures need to be taken to combat pediatric malnutrition in the Kingdom. Hong Menea
Pech Sotheary
While the number of Cambodian children under the age of 5 suffering from stunted growth due to malnutrition has dropped from 40 to 32 per cent since 2010, children in Preah Vihear and Oddar Meanchey provinces remain at high risk, according to data revealed yesterday by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Over the past two years, the number of children exhibiting symptoms of wasting and stunting has actually increased in these regions, the new data shows.
FAO and the MALIS project convened yesterday to address how to improve food security in these especially vulnerable provinces. Preah Vihear and Stung Treng have the highest rate of malnutrition in the country, where 56.4 per cent of children suffer the effects of stunting and 36.8 per cent were underweight, FAO representative Nina Brandstrup said.
"In 2014, we observed that the rate of stunted height declined, but the rate of underweight children had increased in Oddar Meanchey province and… in Preah Vihear province. The situation has become worse," she said.
The FAO, together with Germany's Justus-Liebig University Giessen and the Agriculture Ministry, unveiled the data yesterday at a seminar focused on how best to combat malnutrition by improving food security, adequate food supply and education.
The root of malnutrition goes beyond the simple volume of food consumed, said Ly Kongry, a former nutrition expert for the Malis Project.
"The majority of mothers do not feed their babies and children a variety of nutritious foods – they just feed them gruel, which lacks the nutrition [needed] for children's physical growth and health," she explained, while adding that "the amount of food is also not enough".
Diets that contain sufficient caloric intake but are devoid of adequate vitamins and minerals – the cause of a phenomenon known as "hidden hunger" – can severely impede mental development in addition to causing telltale physical markers like stunting, according to Gates Foundation research.
EU representative Fiona Ramsey also emphasised the importance proper nutrition during the first two and a half years (or 1,000 days) of childhood.
"If they do not get nutritious foods during that period, they will face difficulties in [their ability to learn] and study," she said, a situation that will ultimately "weaken the national economy".
A 2014 report from the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition states that malnutrition costs Cambodia more than $400 million annually and contributes to the deaths of 6,000 children each year.
Ty Sokun, secretary of state for the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, yesterday added that it is common for people to only eat what they produce and urged a collaboration with agricultural partners – NGOs and the Ministries of Health and Education – to teach villagers more advanced farming techniques.
"We know we need to [improve] agricultural productivity, [and] will do whatever to guarantee that the Cambodian people have food security and enough nutritious food."
Due to a reporting error, the original version of this story incorrectly stated that the percentage of children suffering from stunted growth in Cambodia remained unchanged since 2010. In fact, the national percentage has dropped from 40 to 32 per cent between 2010 and 2014. The Post apologizes for any confusion this may have caused.

Chemical Guys Auto Detailing Forum > GENERAL DETAILING > Polishing > Polish glass?!
View Full Version : Polish glass?!
Hey guys... Was looking to polish my glass... Windshield etc... I have lots of stains and water spots from bad winter. Already used clay bar. But it didn't come off. Was gonna polish with P-40 Polish. Will this do the job?
I dont know a lot about P-40, however Greg did a video with CG on polishing glass using v36 and JetSeal. Check that out.
Yeah I saw that video and that's what gave me the idea.... but the only polish i have is P-40 and 271.... thats y I was hoping it would work.
I'm sure it'll work, as long as its strong enough to polish off the spotting. Can't hurt to try!
polishing the glass should work even if you are using P40, P40 is a hybrid-polish that starts cutting like a compound and works down to a polish. like Xena said, can't hurt to try lol.
It's worked.... I cleaned then clayed but spots where still there. So I polished with P-40 then topped with 2 coats of jet seal.
I'm a newbie & I've never used a machine before or polished before and I was great. I had a little extra time so I tried the machine on hood of car too... Didn't polish... Just did layer of Blacklight and topped with Black Lum Glow wax. Couldn't believe the difference. Looks amazing! Now the hood looks great and feels great.... Rest of the car not so much! Lol guess I need to find more time!
Glass is hard as a rock and usually the biggest problem is getting the gunk out of the glass first. Then cutting the defects down takes a long time.
There are several products that are excellent on glass. Ceri-glass, Duragloss Nu-Glass, DP Glass restorer are some.The other thing that will make quicker work of glass is using a rayon pad.
Either way you look at it polishing glass is slow work.
Ceri-Glass is in a definite class (much better) than Duragloss and DP Glass Restorer. They all can work on water spots but Ceri-glass can reduce / remove wiper scratches.
I really can't explain how amazing the glass looked and performed when I polished it with V36 and did a jetseal coat. V36 really refined the glass, removed all the impurities, and improved viability. So when it rained all the water sheets off so perfectly. It's very sublet, but when its pouring out every extra bit of visibility helped. Also another thing you notice is when the wiper blades glide along the windshield with no friction.
One thing I may add is you may want to get a glass blade to wipe off any dusting residue V36 leaves on the windshield once you are done.
Jake with that being said, (P40 is a hybrid-polish that starts cutting like a compound and works down to a polish) could it be considered sort of an AIO? If not, what other product could you recommend.
The P40 is not an AIO the 3n version is said to be an AIO.
P40 is sort of like an AIO. It does break down over time. It starts cutting like a compound and it breaks down into a polish for a finer result / shine.


Jessica Sobolik, director of Alumni and Community Relations at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, tours one of the simulation rooms available to students .
GRAND FORKS -- Though its halls are relatively empty and the building itself isn't 100 percent complete, staff at the new University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences building see the facility as full of possibilities.
The new $124 million building, which was entirely paid for by the state Legislature, provides the medical school with a chance to transform how it educates the next generation of health care professionals.
The 325,000-square-foot facility is a substantial upgrade from its predecessor, complete with new research laboratories, 14 exam rooms and an operating procedure room with robotic patients that can cry, sweat, bleed and give birth.
"What's exciting is, not the building itself, but what we're going to do in the building and how the education they're going to be able to give to the next generation of health professionals will influence North Dakota and the region for years and decades to come," said Dr. Joshua Wynne, vice president for health affairs and the dean of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
One of the features of the building Wynne is most excited about is the way it encourages collaboration from medical students across different disciplines. In the new building, there are eight learning communities that are intended for students of different majors to learn and train together.
That collaboration would help alleviate some of the inefficiencies in medicine, Wynne said. That way, for example, somebody could learn what different types of doctors do and the role they play in health care.
That team approach is apparent throughout the building with open laboratories that encourage students working in the spaces at the same time to join up and learn something from each other.
The new building allows the medical school to bring all of the majors under the School of Medicine and Health Sciences into same building, some of which have been scattered across campus since the 1990s, Wynne said. The bigger building also will allow the school to increase enrollment by 25 percent. In the 2015-16 school year, more than 1,100 undergraduate and professional students were enrolled in the SMHS, according to UND enrollment data.
The design of the building brings collaboration to the forefront and puts UND in a leadership position with the new collaborative design. Representatives from Penn State University already have asked to come tour the new building to look at the concept.
Wynne said he's reminded of a Winston Churchill saying that encapsulates how he sees the new medical school's design benefiting students for decades to come.

Health-related claims and symbols are intended as aids to help consumers make informed and healthier food choices but they can also stimulate the food industry to develop food that goes hand in hand with a healthier lifestyle. In order to better understand the role that health claims and symbols currently have and in the future potentially can have, the objective of the CLYMBOL project ("Role of health-related claims and symbols in consumer behaviour", Grant no 311963) is to investigate consumers' understanding of health claims and symbols, and how they affect purchasing and consumption .
As part of this endeavour, it is important to understand the history of use of claims and symbols in Europe. What have consumers been exposed to and how were these health-related messages used and discussed among the public? In this study, we interviewed key stakeholders across Europe about how health claims have been regulated in their country, how health symbols have been and currently are being treated, what form of monitoring there is or should be and how both health claims and symbols have been debated in the public opinion. In 26 European Union (EU) Member States, opinions from 53 key informants from up to three different stakeholder groups were gathered: national food authorities, representatives of the food industry, and consumer organisations.
While 14 Member States reported (at least partial) regulation of the use of health claims and/or symbols before the introduction of the EU Regulation (EC 1924/2006) on nutrition and health claims made on foods , mandatory reporting of use had only been in place in three EU Member States. A number of voluntary codes of practice for health claims and/or symbols (i.e. pre-approval or justification when challenged) was said to be in use in 15 Member States. There are only a few national databases on health claims and symbols available, the data for which is often incomplete. Only eight Member States reported having some form of database from which information about health claims and symbols could be extracted. The stakeholders interviewed expressed a strong interest in measuring the impact of health claims and symbols, particularly research into the effects on consumer behaviour (e.g. awareness and understanding, attitudes towards products carrying claims and symbols and purchase/consumption effects), public health (health outcomes and changes in national health status due to the introduction of claims and symbols on food products) and economic aspects including sales, return on investment and reputation measurements. Public debates were said to have evolved around the topics of consumer understanding of claims, acceptance as well as trust in the information presented but also the effects on vulnerable groups such as children and elderly consumers. Another field of debate was said to have been the question of the effectiveness of health claims and symbols. Lastly, stakeholders reported that public debates focussed mainly on the legislative aspects, i.e. how to apply the EU Regulation (No 1924/2006) with regards to wording issues, the evaluation process at the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the status of various claims and the nutrient profile modelling to be introduced in Europe.

Future technology won't be a device you carry in your pocket, a computer you put in your bag, or a watch you wear on your wrist. Instead, it will be woven into the threads of your shirt and pants.
Researchers all over the world are developing "smart" fabrics or textiles that can charge electronics, cool down the body, monitor health, detect human motion, light up like flashlights and more.
While most of this technology is still in the lab and won't be seen in stores for years, there is no doubt that the new wave of technology will be lightweight and flexible, and it will rest on your back and legs.
Here are some examples of what the future has in store for us.
Researchers at MIT have developed a way to weave diodes, a building block of modern electronics, into washable, durable fabrics.
This method serves as a huge stepping stone for making "smart" fabrics wearable and marketable.
"Previous wearable technologies are usually used as add-ons to existing devices, fibers or garments," said Michael Rein, a former MIT graduate student and lead author on the paper.
This development will expand the capabilities of "smart" fabrics and allow them to be as comfortable and flexible as normal clothing.
The end goal is to make a full textile-based system that could work like cell phones and computers.
"We are already working on integrating other components into fibers in a similar fashion to enable critical components of electronic systems such as energy storing fibers, displays and more, with the hopes to be able to build a textile electronic devices such as computer shirt or telephone pants," said Rein.
Engineers from the University of Delaware have developed a way to coat textiles, such as cotton, nylon, wool and others, with carbon-based nanomaterials.
The resulting fabrics are equipped with novel sensing abilities that can detect a wide range of pressure — from the light touch of a fingertip to being driven over by a forklift — that could one day be used in clothing or shoes to detect human motion.
"These smart garments have applications in the healthcare industry for rehabilitation of patients, assessing movement disorders for pediatric population and biomedical devices," said Erik Thostenson, an associate professor in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering.
One of the most immediate applications of the low-cost, flexible sensors could be to measure the forces on people's feet while they walk.
This could help doctors evaluate imbalances after an injury, or to protect athletes against further injury.
It could also have significant implications in pediatrics.
"It can be challenging to collect movement data in children over a period of time and in a realistic context," Robert Akins, director of the Center for Pediatric Clinical Research and Development at the Nemours—Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington and affiliated professor of materials science and engineering, biomedical engineering and biological sciences at UD, said in a statement.
Researchers at Vanderbilt University have developed an ultrathin device that can generate electricity when it is bent, pressed or vibrated.
If the technology were to be embedded into a piece of clothing, every step, shake or slight movement of the wearer would generate electricity that could be used to charge mobile devices.
"In the future, I expect that we will all become charging depots for our personal devices by pulling energy directly from our motions and the environment," Cary Pint, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Vanderbilt and director of the research, said in a statement.
Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a fabric that can yield energy from the sun, wind and motion.
"This hybrid power textile presents a novel solution to charging devices in the field from something as simple as the wind blowing on a sunny day," Zhong Lin Wang, a Regents Professor in the Georgia Tech School of Materials Science and Engineering, said in a statement.
To create the fabric, the researchers used a commercial textile machine. They weaved in solar cells made from lightweight polymer fibers with fiber-based triboelectric nanogenerators.
MIT researchers have developed an unconventional way to keep you cool on long sweaty runs, bike rides, or trips to the gym.
The researchers constructed a latex workout suit with ventilating flaps, triggered by an athlete's sweat and body temperature. The flaps are coated with microbial cell that change in size due to the humidity of their environment. The cells do no harm to the skin, and are even safe to ingest.
"We found that microbial cells are sensitive to moisture change in the environment," said Wen Wang, the study's lead author and a former research scientist in MIT's Media Lab and Department of Chemical Engineering.
The age of "smart" fabrics is here, and we will only continue to see more researchers and designers advancing the industry.
Like laptops and smartphones, "smart" fabrics will forever change the way we live, work and go through the day.


The fact that Dr. Steve Perry wants to jump into the educational frying pan that is Bridgeport is a credit to his commitment. Folks like the once-kinda-relevant Jonathan Pelto, who seem to look at the world through a rose-colored funhouse mirror, have not made Perry's job easy.
Once again, ignoring the reality of what kids and parents in Bridgeport must content themselves with, Pelto's latest diatribe raises imaginary concerns, all but accusing Perry of some made-up crime.
The reality is that half of Bridgeport's students are performing below grade average, a statistic that gets worse when you look only at minority and low-income students.
Now imagine what Perry could bring to Bridgeport.
Imagine, if you will, a public school that graduates 98 percent of its students.
Imagine a public school where high school students are performing better in many subjects than the district average.
All that is true at Capital Prep, the public magnet school founded by Dr. Steve Perry.
That is what Pelto wants to prevent?
Instead of bowing to Pelto's status quo wishes, here's to hoping Perry brings his reality to Bridgeport.

The Brontosaurus
Monty Python's flying creationism.
By William Saletan
"There is an elephant in the roomful of scientists who are trying to explain the development of life," wrote Michael Behe, a professor of biochemistry, in his 1996 book Darwin's Black Box. The elephant was ubiquitous evidence of "intelligent design" in nature. Darwinian evolutionists, Behe argued, were unable to explain life's origins and its emerging complexity because they couldn't see the elephant.
Behe has the same problem, but worse. Last week in a Pennsylvania courtroom, he testified in defense of a school board's requirement that biology teachers mention ID. (For Hanna Rosin's reports from the trial, click here.) Behe offered a number of interesting criticisms of Darwinism. But it's impossible to focus on any of these criticisms, because they were so completely overshadowed by the brontosaurus in the room: ID's sophomoric emptiness.
What makes Behe's non-explanation a brontosaurus rather than an elephant is its resemblance to a famous Monty Python sketch in which a television newsman interviews a theorist.
Q: You say you have a new theory about the brontosaurus.
A: Can I just say here, Chris, for one moment, that I have a new theory about the brontosaurus.
Q: Exactly. Well, what is it? …
A: Oh, what is my theory?
Q: Yes.
A: Oh, what is my theory, that it is. Well, Chris, you may well ask me what is my theory.
Q: I am asking.
A: Good for you. My word, yes. Well, Chris, what is it that it is—this theory of mine. Well, this is what it is—my theory that I have, that is to say, which is mine, is mine.
Q: Yes, I know it's yours. What is it?
A: Where? Oh, what is my theory? This is it. My theory that belongs to me is as follows. This is how it goes. The next thing I'm going to say is my theory. Ready?
A: … This theory goes as follows and begins now. All brontosauruses are thin at one end; much, much thicker in the middle; and then thin again at the far end.
As though that explained anything. Which brings us to last week's cross-examination of Behe by Eric Rothschild, the lawyer opposing the school board in the Pennsylvania case.
Q: Please describe the mechanism that intelligent design proposes for how complex biological structures arose.
A: Well, the word "mechanism" can be used in many ways. … When I was referring to intelligent design, I meant that we can perceive that in the process by which a complex biological structure arose, we can infer that intelligence was involved. …
Q: What is the mechanism that intelligent design proposes?
A: And I wonder, could—am I permitted to know what I replied to your question the first time?
Q: I don't think I got a reply, so I'm asking you. You've made this claim here (reading): "Intelligent design theory focuses exclusively on the proposed mechanism of how complex biological structures arose." And I want to know, what is the mechanism that intelligent design proposes for how complex biological structures arose?
A: Again, it does not propose a mechanism in the sense of a step-by-step description of how those structures arose. But it can infer that in the mechanism, in the process by which these structures arose, an intelligent cause was involved.
The interrogation goes on like this for pages and pages. Like the theorist in the Monty Python sketch, Behe throws up a blizzard of babble: process, intelligent activity, important facts. What process? What activity? What facts? He never explains. He says the designer "took steps" to create complex biological systems, but ID can't specify the steps. Does ID tell us who designed life? No, he answers. Does it tell us how? No. Does it tell us when? No. How would the designer create a bacterial flagellum? It would "somehow cause the plan to, you know, go into effect," he proposes.
Can ID make testable predictions? Not really. If we posit that a given biological system was designed, Rothschild asks, what can we infer about the designer's abilities? Just "that the designer had the ability to make the design that is under consideration," says Behe. "Beyond that, we would be extrapolating beyond the evidence." Does Behe not understand that extrapolating beyond initial evidence is exactly the job of a hypothesis? Does he not grasp the meaninglessness of saying a designer designed things that were designed?
Evidently not. "That is exactly the basis for how we detect design—when we perceive the purposeful arrangement of parts," Behe declares. The essence of science—that detection means going beyond perception—escapes his comprehension. It also escapes his interest. He says his belief that the bacterial flagellum was intelligently designed could be tested, but he's never run the test. Why not? "I'm persuaded by the evidence that I cite in my book that this is a good explanation and that spending a lot of effort in trying to show how random mutation and natural selection could produce complex systems … is not real likely to be fruitful," he says. Who needs science when you've got faith?
So, this is my theory, which belongs to me, and goes as follows. All intelligently designed things are brought about by an intelligent designer through a process of intelligently conducted design. If it's good enough for Monty Python, it's good enough for biology class.

Electronic Waste (ewaste) recycling is more than just reusing materials.
Recycling ewaste not only diverts toxic metals from landfill but it also means many valuable materials can be reused. Recycling reduces the amount of waste as well as the mining of raw materials – in essence recycling is "above ground mining".
There is a massive energy saving when creating secondary raw materials compared to primary raw materials. For example, recycling steel into a secondary raw material uses 74% less energy than the production of the primary product. Recycled Aluminium uses 95% less, Copper 85% less, Lead 65% less and Plastics 80% less – it's a win, win, win scenario – we protect precious resources, divert usable materials from landfill and conserve energy all at the same time!
We've been recycling products in one way or another for thousands of years, it's just that in recent decades the concept of 'disposable goods' has reached all time highs and the topic of 'conservation' is paramount. What is new is the need to adapt recycling methods and behaviours to keep up with our lifestyles and technological advancements.
At 1800ewaste we are passionate about diverting as much electronic equipment from landfill and export as possible. We believe in prolonging the lifespan of valuable materials by recycling all that we can, currently 95-98%, by weight, of all the materials we collect are recycled. Our service is professional, fast and reliable, we'll come to you, collect your ewaste and deliver it to the appropriate recycling facility.


Ticket valid for both events: £5 + BF.
There is no admission fee for University of York students, staff & associates.
On Tuesday 5th February the Music Research Centre at the University of York will host a day-and-evening session of Supernatant seminars, workshops and live performances by renowned creative and technological practitioners from a range of backgrounds and perspectives. Themes will include human-machine interface design, physical modelling, generative process, enhancement of live performance and software synthesis.
Supernatant & The Centrifuge gratefully acknowledge financial support from the PRS For Music Foundation.
Ben Eyes is a musician and sound engineer working out of Leeds and York. He has performed electronic music for over ten years in various guises but is currently working with dancefloor music as Quip and listening music as Ben Eyes. His influences include early electronics, mistakes, studio outtakes and other obscure, non purposeful recordings. His seminar is focussed on his current research into physically modelled drum augmentation and his thoughts on performing live electronic music in the 21st Century.
Matthew is a composer and sound technician based in Edinburgh and has recorded and performed extensively, including recent collaborations with Ben Frost and Dag Rosenqvist (Jasper TX). He will present a suite of novel techniques which may be used to extend the traditional roles of the live performer, coaxing previously unattainable sounds and timbres from a familiar starting point.
Nicolas is a electronic musician and audio programmer working in Berlin having recently completed a Ph.D. at the University of Huddersfield. He will discuss his work on Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) with the music software company Liine. Electronic music production and performance can be seen as a holistic activity involving the body as much as the mind, and the default computer HMI of mouse and keyboard often falls short.
Oli works at the Music Research Centre at the University of York, developing software to support artist collaborations and computer music research projects and teaching music technology. He will speak about his work producing creative software that explores unusual sound synthesis, processing and control techniques.
Robert is an electronic musician and audio programmer researching for a PhD at Queen Mary, London. He will talk about novel approaches and methodologies to representing rhythm digitally. The bulk of MIDI-style sequencing is carried out in a piano-roll type representation. This descends from traditional score which has evolved to suit western classical music. However for modern electronic genres such as dance music, driven by repetitive rhythms, this layout is rather unwieldy. In the case of live improvisatory performance, a piano-roll is pretty much impossible to manage. We hear audio in the frequency domain, we play musical instruments in the frequency domain - i.e. the notes in a scale are frequencies. Rhythm is an equally cyclical, harmonic phenomenon so why then should we be specifying everything as points in time?
Theo Burt is an artist based in York working with computer sound and image, live performance and installation. His audio-video work concentrates on perceptual relationships between sound and image, setting up tensions between the intelligibility of processes and the intuitive experiencing of their results.
Supernatant Laboratories is a UK-based technical community exploring the interfaces between science and art, practise and theory, progress and understanding anthropological changes in the ever-changing technological landscape. Currently, there are activities across the 21st century multi-media spectrum – contemporary digital art, electronic and electro-acoustic music, novel perspectives on musical history & literature, interactive workshops, lectures, performances and variants thereof. The Supernatant programme is intended to enrich and enliven artistic, cultural and electronic music festivals, community events, university symposia and beyond.
Supernatant is a member of The Centrifuge family of creative organisations.

"The Justice Department believes that this loan was improper in nature," the agency announced in a statement Friday.
The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the loan.
According to the FED, Kodak has been "under investigation for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other federal law."
The company is expected to file more information with the Justice Department in the coming weeks, depending on whether the investigation is successful.
Kodak previously faced federal probes into the company's stock trading last year, including a $400 million settlement with the SEC in which it was found to have engaged in "the conduct of a stock exchange act that substantially interfered with the orderly execution of the Company's consolidated business."
Kodak has been held on $100 million of its $1 billion debt, the company's third-largest outstanding in a single-year period.The Supreme Court heard arguments on Thursday on whether to hear its case against the government's sweeping surveillance of Americans' phone records. The court's case is based on the government's case against the National Security Agency.
The case, filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., focuses on the U.S. attorney's office's use of bulk collection (Bulk Period Records) to gather the phone records of millions of Americans. The U.S. Supreme Court in 2012 struck down Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which prevents the government from collecting phone records of the "ordinary people" and of non-citizens.
The court also ruled that the government has a right to collect any records it wants from Americans, regardless of where they are.
"This is a case in point," Justice Samuel Alito Jr., with the Justice Department's Civil Liberties Division, said. "When a government entity collects information that is not specifically authorized by the Constitution, it has the right to do so without the prior authorization of Congress."
The court also upheld the government's request to compel a phone company to give it the information requested.
The government has appealed the ruling.
Previous Post:Police issued a public statement, telling the Portland Press Herald, "The actions of the individuals involved have not been tolerated in our community."
Next Post:Madison — A Milwaukee County judge has ruled that the state's ban on gay marriage violates the First Amendment.


Safety and responsibility are the highest priority when it comes to fire resistant gas cylinder storage. Gas cylinders are best stored outdoors when possible, if this is not possible then fire resistant gas cylinder cabinets can be used.
Fire resistant gas cylinder cabinets from DENIOS are suitable for the fire resistant storage of gas cylinders and have been checked and approved as G90 and G30 according to DIN EN 14470-2. These fire resistant gas cylinder cabinets offer optimum fire protection and the greatest reliability for compressed gas cylinders.
A wide accessory program, such as a ready to plug extraction unit for technical ventilation, adjusting feet for use on uneven floor surfaces, lead through points for connecting pipes and cylinder mounting rails complement the functionality of the fire resistant gas cylinder cabinets. DENIOS gas cylinder fire protection cabinets are suitable for fire-resistant storage of gas cylinders outdoors and can hold up to 48 cylinders.
These gas cylinder fire protection cabinets are F90 (90 minute) fire-resistant according to DIN 4102 and are suitable for the storage of gas cylinders according to TRBS 3145. They can be positioned directly against a wall without any safety clearance. The roof and walls of the store are fire resistant and the roof overhang provides protection against the elements. Many other features make the gas cylinder fire protection cabinet flexible for everyday use.
If a fire breaks out on any kind of premises it can be devastating, with the risk of serious injuries and severe damage to the property unless it is brought under control quickly. A fire can be much more dangerous of course if gas is stored on the premises. If gas explosions occur there will be greater damage and severe injuries, and possibly fatalities among staff and firefighters. You can reduce the risk of gas explosions in the event of a fire by using effective gas storage measures. Fire rated gas cylinder storage will prevent fire from reaching the gas cylinders on your premises, allowing time for the fire to be brought under control.
There are a number of cabinets and stores available in the range of fire rated gas bottle storage at DENIOS UK. The secure cabinets provide a period of 30 or 90 minutes' fire resistance. All have been put through rigorous testing to ensure they reach the best possible safety standards.
Every business is different. Some may need to store many gas cylinders, while some may need only a few; some may want to store them outdoors, others inside. You may need one for storing ten-litre gas cylinders or 50 litre types. There may even be requirements as to which way you want the door to open. Fortunately, DENIOS UK has an extensive range to suit all uses.
For storing a small number of cylinders, you might choose a Fire-Resistant Compressed Air Gas Cylinder Cabinet 600mm wide, a compact fire rated bottle cabinet that stores two cylinders. To store four cylinders, look at the Fire-Resistant Compressed Air Gas Cylinder Cabinet 1400mm wide. For greater storage, DENIOS has a range of fire-resistant gas cylinder cabinets for an exterior position, such as the Gas Cylinder Store GFT 33.9. The exterior cabinets include models that can store up to 48 canisters.
The range is convenient to install, allowing the cabinets to be placed directly against a wall if required, and there are accompanying accessories for the secure installation of the cylinders inside the cabinets and any necessary ventilation. The fire rated gas bottle cabinets are often used in demanding industrial environments where the flooring can be uneven, making them potentially hazardous, however, adjustable feet allow the cabinets to be used safely even on uneven flooring.
With the inherent risks that come with gas, safety around the cylinders and the fire-resistant gas cylinder cabinets is paramount. All Gas Cylinder Storage products supplied by DENIOS UK comply with the British Safety Gas Council recommendations and meet the laws surrounding security and ventilation. Additionally, the fire rated gas bottle cabinets have been DIN tested to ensure that they are approved as G90 and G30 according to DIN EN 14470-2 to be fire-resistant for the required length of time.
Once installed on your premises, there are a number of steps that you can take to increase gas safety. The fire-resistant gas cylinder cabinets are lockable to ensure that only authorised personnel are able to access them. If the door is left open, it will significantly reduce the fire-resistant properties, so make sure that they are kept locked after removing or replacing the cylinders.
A good fire safety strategy is also essential. Prevention is always the best course but ensure that you have a good fire safety drill so that if a fire should break out it can be speedily brought under control within the time constraints of your fire rated gas cylinder storage.

The HugMee makes it possible that mother and child stay together safe and undisturbed skin-to-skin after a natural caesarian or gentle sectio.
The Benjamin Kangaroo Sweater is used to snuggle safely and comfortably with premature or sick babies in its pouch.
"Often babies stay and lie skin-to-skin with the mother after the sectio for hours. This has a favourable effect on their temperature, breastfeeding and unrest. We have seen that the babies who are skin-to-skin with their mothers in the operating theatre already are warmer than the babies who earlier on went back to the nursery, and, consequently, were separated from their mothers. In the old situation (2014) 52.4% of the babies born per sectio had a temperature of <36.7 °C. With skin-to-skin in the HugMee this was reduced to 29.7% (2015)."
With the birth of my son Benjamin Benjamin Care saw the light as well, after a pregnancy of 25 weeks. Benjamin is not the only one who was born prematurely. Worldwide 15 million premature babies are born every year. The combination of his far too early birth with my years long work experience as a nurse at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) constituted the basis for thre Benjamin Care products. By intensive snuggling in the pouch and looking after their premature or sick child parents can make the difference with the support of the medical team.

Got Horse Manure? UF/IFAS Program Offers Composting Solution
Horses may be beautiful animals, but like everyone, they poop. A lot.
"A 1,000 pound horse can produce 10 tons of manure and stall waste each year," said Mary Lusk, assistant professor of soil and water sciences with the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
For many horse owners in Florida, the sheer amount of waste can become a seemingly insurmountable problem, said Carissa Wickens, assistant professor of animal sciences at UF and a state Extension horse specialist. "We saw a need to educate owners about ways to safely deal with it," she said.
So Lusk and Wickens, along with Francisco Rivera, small farms agent with UF/IFAS Extension Hillsborough County, teamed up to create a program to teach horse owners how to compost manure in a way that protects the environment and benefits them and their property.
On March 7, horse owners are invited to learn how to implement a three-bin composting system at the Keystone Civic Center in Odessa. The demonstration will start at 6 p.m.
Funding for the program comes from the Environmental Protection Commission of Hillsborough County, which was looking for ways to prevent the nutrients and microorganisms in horse manure from entering the environment.
"If manure isn't managed or disposed of properly, the nutrients and bacteria have the potential for leaching into the soil or washing away during a rainstorm," Lusk said. "In our composting system, manure is composted in a designated storage structure , that can be covered to help reduce leaching and runoff of nutrients."
The process of composting horse manure is much like that for composting other organic matter, such as food waste, Wickens said.
"In addition to reducing the volume of waste by up to 50 percent, composting also reduces the amount of pathogens, parasites, and weed seeds in the manure," Wickens said. "Once the manure is fully composted, it can be used to add organic matter back into pasture soils, which benefits horses and their owners."
The three-bin system was designed by one of Lusk's undergraduate students, Walsh Nichols, who is majoring in agricultural education and communication. His degree program is based at the UF/IFAS College of Agricultural and Life Sciences' Plant City location and includes both in-person and online classes.
"Dr. Lusk conducted a survey of our stakeholders' needs and also of the equipment they currently have available to them for composting," Nichols said. "The survey revealed that most horse owners keeping horses on smaller acreage properties had pitchforks and shovels, rather than tractors, so the aim became to come up with something that could be put together easily, and was small and inexpensive. Through a bit of research and working with a few different designs, I found wood pallets to be the best solution."
The March 7 demonstration will also include information about options for marketing composted manure.

Hi everyone, Laurel here for DT Tuesday.
I decided to put my SMAK kits to use to create a summer themed card.
I used the Adventure, Summer Lovin' and the Just Plain Happy kits for this fun card. There is an opening in the shorts to tuck in some money or a gift card.
Now while browsing the Unity Show & Tell page I came across a couple of beauties.
Watercolor is all the rage these days.
to admire others, and stick to my pattern paper and stamps!
I love how both of these projects have used the same stamp from the May KOTM Hey Girl in such a beautiful way.
I love the white embossing.
Then we have this beautiful card by Heather Hoffman.
Such soft and pretty colors.
Finally I leave you with a quote that I love and need to be reminded of sometimes.
