Africa Featured World
February 21, 2021 Elwin Mandowa africa, Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation, africafeeds, Featured, News, Opinions & Feature, Science & Technology
A low-cost water-powered ventilator, dissolvable bio plastic and 3D printed prosthetics are among the innovations chosen to receive crucial commercialisation support from the Royal Academy of Engineering after being shortlisted for its 2021 Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation.
The Africa Prize recognises ambitious African innovators developing scalable engineering solutions to local challenges and this year's shortlist represents nine countries including, for the first time, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Ethiopia and the Gambia. Six of the 16-strong shortlist are female innovators.
Launched by the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2014, each year the Africa Prize programme provides a unique business support package to innovators who are transforming their communities.
The Africa Prize has a track record of identifying engineering entrepreneurs with significant potential, many of whom have gone on to achieve greater commercial success and social impact.
Top row L-R: Taofeek Olalekan, Marie Ndieguene, Tshepo Mangoele, Juka Fatou Darboe Bottom row L-R: Noel N'guessan, Olugbenga Olufemi Olubanjo, Indira Tsengiwe, Pazion Cherinet
The benefits of shortlist selection include eight months of comprehensive and tailored business training, bespoke engineering mentoring, media and communications training, funding and access to the Academy's network of high-profile, experienced engineers and business experts in the UK and across Africa.
This year marks the first fully digital programme, providing intensive expert guidance and community support through a mixture of online group and one-on-one sessions.
Emma Wade Smith OBE, Her Majesty's Trade Commissioner for Africa at the UK Department for International Trade, said: "It makes me very proud to be part of this initiative that demonstrates so clearly and practically the power of partnerships between Africa and the UK.
The range of innovations and innovators in this year's shortlist offer an insight into Africa's extraordinary diversity and talent and illustrates the importance we all place on nurturing and supporting Africa's self-starters to create and scale sustainable and inclusive products and services that will help us rebuild our economies to be greener, cleaner and more resilient.
"The Africa Prize helps to accelerate entrepreneurial capacity and ecosystems. I am excited to follow the progress of this year's cohort, and am certain we will see many of these inventions go on to create and sustain jobs and benefit our societies, as so many of the previous participants in the Africa Prize have done."
Alumni of the Prize are projected to impact over three million lives in the next five years and have already created over 1500 jobs and raised more than $14 million in grants and equity.
Four finalists will be selected from the shortlist in June and invited to pitch their improved innovation and business plan to the judges and a live audience. A winner will be selected in July to receive £25,000, and three runners up will receive £10,000 each.
The Africa Prize supports innovators developing life-changing technologies that may otherwise have gone unrecognised and under-resourced. Unlike conventional grants or accelerators, the Africa Prize does not dictate the types of innovation that are eligible. Instead, its focus is on the socio-economic impact of the overall business.
The Prize provides tailored support to entrepreneurs specifically seeking to address challenges identified in their own communities. Africa Prize alumni include engineers tackling issues as diverse as safe transport, financial service accessibility, agricultural resilience and the healthcare system.
Africa Prize alumni have also played an important role in supporting the continent's COVID-19 pandemic response, with the programme's training and additional Academy funding helping them pivot their businesses and address community needs.
Together, they reached over 220,000 people with innovations including affordable hand sanitiser, remote education, 3D-printed PPE, access to finance for smallholder farmers and a track and trace platform allowing worshippers to attend religious services.
The 2021 shortlist includes innovations that provide solutions for pressing challenges in essential sectors addressing most of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
This year's shortlist includes companies that are improving recruitment opportunities in the media and software development sectors through digital platforms, reducing agricultural waste by transforming it into products ranging from packaging to a plastic substitute, and using artificial intelligence to improve healthcare therapies.
The shortlisted technologies and candidates are:

6 Things to Know About GMOs in the Food Supply
By ChristinaApril 10, 2018News
When most people think of genetically modified foods (GMOs), they immediately ponder the health impacts. But there are six things that are frequently excluded from the debate about GMOs in the food supply that need to be understood:
1) We lose control once the GMOs are let loose in the environment. We currently lack the ability to rigorously test GMOs, and their effect isn't known until that impact is felt in the environment. Through transgene flow, we currently can't contain the engineered pollen once a genetically modified plant is outdoors. Impacts include the potential for the pest-resistant characteristics of GMO crops to be transferred to other plants in the environment, which could ultimately cause increased weed populations and toxicity, and the real example of how GMO corn (also called Bt corn) — altered to increase resistance to the corn borer and other pests — kills monarch butterfly caterpillars.
2) GMO pollen drift causes problems for farmers. Pollen from GMO crops can and does drift into the fields of farmers and fertilize the non-GMO crops they are growing (unbeknownst to the farmer). The farmer growing the non-GMO crop might end up with hybrids she didn't expect or want, or her export crop is rejected after it has been contaminated by GMO pollen. Both pose serious problems for farmers.
3) GM patents by corporations threaten to monopolize the food system. Patents for GMO crops began to be granted in the 1980s, and from this point forward corporations moved to claim a monopoly on the development of food. Up until this point, crop hybridization rested on the shoulders of farmers and plant breeders in the field who frequently focused on seed sharing instead of intellectual property; the genome of crops was considered a common property for all. Examples of monopolization include multinational agribusiness corporations like Monsanto trying to "patent" a tomato with zero biotech traits or crops grown by indigenous peoples for thousands of years (this resulted in an inevitable global legal backlash). This style of exclusive food ownership and control is risky for global food security and ultimately puts the power of food centralization and control into the hands of a few nations and a few corporations in those nations (the US is the #1 producer of GMO crops).
4) GMOs do not reduce chemical application rates as promised. One argument heralding a GMO benefit is the reduction in herbicide and insecticide applications; defenses against pests and weeds are frequently engineered into crop plants, which make spraying unnecessary (at least in the short term). The argument is that farmers no longer have to spend their money on these chemicals, and natural ecosystems would be better without the chemical inputs. The problem is that this is a wash at best in the real world. While GMO corn did indeed resist the corn borer and corn earworm as engineered and required less pesticide input as promised, an unintended consequence of the genetic engineering is that it kills monarch caterpillars, which is a steep price to pay. And, it only took six years for the targeted pests to begin showing resistance to the engineered corn. As another example, "Roundup Ready" crops — engineered to be resistant to the broad-spectrum herbicide Roundup (glyphosate) making it possible for farmers to spray the herbicide on their entire field while killing only the weeds — caused the evolution of "super weeds", which are resistant to glyphosate.
5) A homogenous food system increases the risk of famine: GMO crops encourage planting monocultures, and history has shown that monocultures in the food system lead to massive crop failures and famine (read about the southern corn leaf blight of 1970-1971 here and the Irish potato famine here). It's well established that a homogenous food system is a threat to food security worldwide.
6) GMOs won't "feed the world" until the food waste problem is addressed. Some say that a rising global population necessitates finding new ways to meet the increased demand for food through the use of GMO crops. However, about 30% of the food already produced globally is wasted (that number increases to 40% in the US), and reducing food waste is one of the best ways to increase food security compared to GMO development. In fact, studies show that US and Canadian GMO crops do not even have higher yields compared to the same non-GMO European crops.

Yes, humans have been genetically modifying plants through artificial selection since the advent of agriculture (at least 10,000 years). We've done this, for example, by choosing the plumpest grains to plant each season, grafting one apple to another, or breeding only the goats that produce the most milk. We have, through time, selected plants and animals to express the traits that are beneficial to us, including increased yields, drought tolerance, disease resistance, enhanced taste and nutrition, and more.
In contrast, the Non-GMO Project defines GMOs as living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering. This creates combinations of plant, animal, bacteria, and virus genes that do not occur in nature or through the traditional crossbreeding methods that have been practiced for thousands of years.
It's important to point out that most GMO crops in production are not foods that we consume directly. Between 70% to 90% of GMO crops are used as feed for food-producing animals; about 10% of total land used for crop production is devoted to GMO plants. Seed is currently available for 10 GMO crops: corn, soy, sugar beets, canola (oil), cotton (oil), papaya, eggplant, potato, and squash. And the most prevalent of these (corn, soy, sugar beets, canola, and cotton) make their way into our food system via processed foods like high fructose corn syrup and other additives (about 90% or more of the crops grown among these five are now genetically modified).
But to date the proven benefits of GMOs in the food supply are questionable, and more research needs to be invested into the safety and long-term environmental and health impacts of GMOs before adding them into the food production system.
Presently, instead of GMOs, it might be more effective and safer to enhance a traditional biodiverse agricultural system that focuses on proper soil and water management to increase yields and improve pest and drought resistance. Diverse agricultural systems are also more adaptive to local soil and weather conditions, and regional cultural farming practices and tastes. Fixing the food waste and food distribution problems will resolve food shortages, and allow all of the food we produce to reach and be eaten by those who need it, worldwide. And, perhaps most importantly, the control of a global food system will not be in the hands of a few privileged multinational agribusiness corporations.

Great article. Thanks, Christina

Many things go into our food chain that are played off as beneficial in agriculture. Nitrates being one of them. Groundwater is being polluted by big ag practices and going unregulated.
Health threats are being minimized for the wrong reasons.
You have to pay attention.
What you are is what you eat.

KPC's Chaudhuri Aims For Kaiser-Like Integration
CORONA, Calif., Aug. 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dr. Kali P. Chaudhuri, Founder and Chairman
KPC Group founder Kali Chaudhuri is attempting to do what a private capital firm, a nonprofit charity, and Los Angeles' wealthiest person couldn't—turn around a struggling regional hospital system.
The Business Journal reported last month that Chaudhuri's KPC planned to pay $610 million to acquire assets of bankrupt Verity Holdings LLC, a Redwood City-based firm that owned four hospitals—including Lynwood's St. Francis Medical Center, a 384-bed trauma center in L.A. County—and a nursing facility.
Chaudhuri's plan to revitalize those facilities may be to give the unionized workers a chance to own part of the hospital, something he's done with other hospitals he turned around in Orange County.
"I came to America with $8 in my pocket," Chaudhuri told the Business Journal. "The reason I work hard in America is because I own my own business, and our employees will work hard because they are owners."
The ownership plan for Verity won't immediately be available, as KPC will initially focus on restructuring.
"I'd like the program to be everywhere, but we need to make sure we properly size things up and integrate; it cannot be done right away," he said.
Wasted Water
Chaudhuri, a native of India, started his career as an orthopedist in the Riverside County town of Hemet, 75 miles east of Irvine.
He has since built Riverside-based KPC Group into a firm with $10 billion in assets in disparate industries like real estate, pharmaceuticals and engineering.
A subsidiary, KPC Healthcare Inc., is making the Verity purchase and is based in Santa Ana.
KPC Healthcare currently includes seven full-service acute care hospitals throughout Southern California. Its four hospitals based in Orange County are Orange County Global Medical Center, South Coast Global Medical Center, Anaheim Global Medical Center and Chapman Global Medical Center, which generated revenue of $382 million in 2018 combined.
It also operates independent physician associations and various medical facilities such as skilled nursing, behavioral health and ambulatory care sites.
In addition to buying four OC hospitals via bankruptcy sales, Chaudhuri has also purchased Hemet Valley Medical Center, Menifee Valley Medical Center and Victor Valley Community Hospital in Victorville, now known as Victor Valley Global Medical Center.
He compares healthcare inefficiency to water being wasted during a rainstorm.
"The water coming from the sky should all fall in one bucket so we can use it, redistribute it and save it," he said. "Unfortunately, a lot of water is wasted and that is the problem we are figuring out."
About 30 hospitals close annually, according to the American Hospital Association.
Kaiser Model
Chaudhuri likens his healthcare company's integration plans to that of Kaiser Permanente, which has its own hospitals, HMO health plan and physician employees.
He foresees KPC Healthcare including medical and nursing colleges, a pharmaceutical company, in addition to hospitals and nursing homes.
Integration "allows us to look at the whole dollar," he said.
Along with the Verity assets, KPC also recently announced plans to acquire seven of Promise Healthcare Inc.'s long-term acute care hospitals and two skilled nursing facilities in states like Kansas, Utah and Texas.
That deal is expected to be completed by the end of this month, a spokesperson said.
When all of the acquisitions are completed, KPC's healthcare system will be comprised of 18 hospitals, totaling over 2,500 beds, and three healthcare facilities across seven states.
The combined entity will have approximately 10,000 employees and an estimated value of over $2 billion.
"KPC has had a great history of turning around hospitals," said KPC Healthcare Chief Executive Peter Baronoff, who joined the Santa Ana company last July.
Baronoff, who co-founded and previously served as chairman and chief executive of Florida- based Promise, said that the combination of hospitals, clinics and skilled nursing facilities will enable KPC to provide "a variety of services critical to the communities these hospitals serve."
Daunting Task
The Verity purchase looks likely to be KPC's biggest-ever challenge, in terms of a turnaround.
The hospitals were previously owned by the Daughters of Charity Healthcare System, which had continuous losses due to "mounting labor costs, low reimbursement rates and the ever- changing healthcare landscape," according to a bankruptcy filing.
It was sold in 2015 to private investor BlueMountain Capital Management LLC, which changed the hospital system's name to Verity. In 2017, Nantworks, a company controlled by billionaire Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the Los Angeles Times, acquired a controlling stake in Integrity Healthcare, the company that manages Verity.
Soon-Shiong poured tens of millions of dollars into the company to revitalize the hospitals, many of which are in lower-income neighborhoods. It reported a $111.4 million operating loss in 2018, triple that of the $35.3 million operating loss in 2017.
Last year, Verity went into bankruptcy and its assets were listed for sale. In April, an affiliate of KPC Healthcare won the bidding.
The transaction, which is still subject to review by the California Attorney General, is comprised of St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood, St. Vincent Medical Center and St. Vincent Dialysis Center in downtown Los Angeles and Seton Medical Center in Daly City. The hospitals total 1,107 beds. Seton operates Seton Medical Center Coastside in Moss Beach, a 116-bed skilled nursing facility.
The biggest prize is the St. Francis Medical Center, which was valued at $420 million. It's a Level II trauma center that handles more than 80,000 emergencies a year, according to its website. The purchase gives KPC two major trauma centers in Southern California.
As part of the agreement, KPC has agreed to keep main service lines open and make employment offers to substantially all employees at these facilities, including full-time, part- time and contract workers.
KPC's pledge was important to its winning court-overseen bid.
"Labor is very important, [comprising] of 60% [of the cost] of the delivery of healthcare," Chaudhuri said.
Value Creator
Chaudhuri declined to comment on taking on a task where others like Soon-Shiong didn't succeed.
"I don't buy everything that comes to the market, I only buy things that would create value for my organization," he said.
Growing the base of medical workers is high on Chaudhuri's priority.
In 2003, he established the first private medical school in Bengal, India, where he now has a 25- acre campus comprised of KPC Medical College and Hospital, as well as the Shova Rani Nursing College and Paramedical College that provides medical services to residents of the Indian city of Kolkata.
He's excited about his latest education project—a new college in Hemet, where he resides with his wife, Sunanda.
"The most important thing in healthcare today is the shortage of doctors, nurses," he said.
Demand for healthcare workers will outpace supply by 2025, and the U.S. will need to hire 2.3 million new healthcare workers to meet demand, according to a recent report by Mercer LLC.
While the Hemet project is in the early planning stage, Chaudhuri said the program he's starting will encourage doctors and nurses to go to rural areas, where the rate of physicians to patients is 1-to-2,500 in rural America, according to National Rural Health Association estimate. –
"I have to tell you, I don't have all the solutions and I don't like to talk a lot before it happens, but I'd like to do my best," Chaudhuri said.

Promise Hospitals in Baton Rouge sold to California company
Southern California health care business KPC Health has acquired Promise Hospital of Baton Rouge, a former subsidiary of Promise Healthcare, a Boca Raton, Florida-based hospital business.
Promise Healthcare Group's hospital network across Louisiana was acquired several months after it filed for bankruptcy protection in 2018. The network was split between KPC Health and Lexmark Holdings.
The Boca Raton, Florida-based company specialized in short-term and long-term acute care hospitals in addition to skilled nursing facilities in several states. In March, KPC Health announced that it planned to acquire a hospital in Louisiana, but did not specify which one. Financial details about the sale were not disclosed, but KPC Health did secure a line of credit for working capital from international investment bank Credit Suisse Group AG, records show.
Since filing for bankruptcy in November 2018, the Promise Healthcare sold off three Florida hospitals to Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania Select Medical for $63 million. It also sold the 146-bed hospital in Shreveport along with its Bossier City hospital for roughly $35 million combined to Lexmark Holdings, records show.
Meanwhile, Santa Ana-based KPC Health has been on an acquisition spree, snapping up hospitals out of bankruptcy across the country in recent months. It had offered $610 million in a bid to buy a bankrupt chain of hospitals in California owned by Verity Health earlier this year and was awarded the deal in April. The deal to acquire the Baton Rouge hospital was lumped together with six other long-term acute care hospitals across the U.S. once run by Promise Healthcare.
Promise Hospital's CEO for Baton Rouge, Kiley Cedotal, deferred questions to the new owners. Cedotal has been in the role since November 2014, according to his LinkedIn profile. KPC Health did not respond to requests for comment by late Wednesday.
Promise Healthcare had filed for bankruptcy with more than $500 million in corporate debt. The hospital struggled overall amid a nationwide decrease in reimbursement rate for Medicare patients, according to court records. Promise Hospital attempted to invest in new business projects, which were later abandoned, records show. By fiscal year 2016, it had posted a $5.2 million operating loss. One year later, that swelled to $25.2 million.
Financially its Louisiana hospitals were performing better than those in other states, Danny Brown, landlord for Promise Hospital's Baton Rouge facilities told The Advocate in November. But the company faced some legal battles.
In 2016, Promise Hospital was accused of improperly billing Medicare for treatment of a rare protein deficiency known as Kwashiorkor by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' inspector general. Promise Hospital was also ordered to pay $1 million to Amerihealth Caritas Louisiana, a business which handles managed-care services for the state's Medicaid program, over claims of double billing for services.

Dental hygienist publishes research on making dental visits less stressful for children with autism
Inspired by her own experience as a mum to a five-year-old son with autism, a dental hygienist has published new research hoping to make dental examinations less stressful for autistic children.1

Giving children the power of choice – even in something as simple as the colour of mouthwash they use after their dental examination – could make a world of difference to a child with autism, according to Nicole Thomas, from the Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry.
Nicole interviewed 17 parents about their experiences of taking their children for routine dental examinations – working alongside researchers at the Peninsula Cerebra Research Unit (PenCRU) at the University of Exeter Medical School, supported by the National Institute for Health Research Collaboration for Applied Health Research and Care South West Peninsula (NIHR PenCLAHRC). She was also advised by members of the PenCRU Family Faculty – a group of parents of disabled children.
Emerging from the study were five key areas that improved the chances of a dental visit being successful, with clear communication between parents and professionals central to ensuring the children have as good an experience as possible.
Nicole said: 'Going to the dentist can be challenging for any child, but I know from experience that taking a child with autism for a routine check-up can be really stressful for everyone involved, from the huge amount of preparation prior to and the impact afterwards if it is unsuccessful. So I, with the outstanding support of my mentor, Sharon Blake from the University of Exeter, was surprised at the small changes required that could make a really significant difference'.
All participating parents said their children were hypersensitive to the feelings and negative body language of those around them which made dental examinations challenging. Being flexible to make minor environmental adjustments and giving children choices – such as mouthwash colour or brightness of the lights – was found to be effective in helping them feel less stressed, and she added that the behaviour of the whole dental team, from receptionists through to practitioners, was vital in terms of influence.
The research showed that parents' confidence when visiting the dentist was also a key factor.
Nicole added: 'Some parents respect the dentist's viewpoint so much that they don't have the confidence to ask about what to expect and request changes to surroundings, but this study shows that clear and open communication on both sides creates a collaborative partnership that works in the best interest of all'.
In addition, having clear referral pathways to specialist dental services to avoid any delay and distress for families whose children are still not able to cope with conventional dental setting was highlighted as vitally important.
Sharon Blake, Associate Research Fellow at the University of Exeter, said: 'It has been my privilege to support Nicole with this important research. She worked tirelessly around her day job as a dental hygienist and family commitments. I am absolutely delighted that following this research training, Nicole is now studying for a PhD and we were able to contribute to understanding the challenges and best practice in respect of accessing dental services for children with autism'.
Nicole hopes the findings will empower parents to feel confident to advocate for their child's individual needs, as well as help dental professionals, like herself, understand the small changes they could incorporate to make a big difference.

Yellow Jacket Roundup: Talking Tigers

ATLANTA, GEORGIA — There were quite a number of notable graduates this weekend from Tech, both among the student-athletes and the student body at large. Some of the most notable are non-traditional stories - Mark Teixeira comes to mind - but all share the bond of being challenged in just about every imaginable way at Tech and rising into the ranks of the distinguished family of Georgia Tech alumni. As always, it is quite remarkable to see the list of names who are walking across the stage and into the rest of their lives. From stalwarts of the eminently likable and memorable 2020-21 ACC Champion men's basketball team Michael Devoe, Khalid Moore, Bubba Parham, and Jordan Usher to their contemporaries Sarah Bates and Lotta-Maj Lahtinen on the women's side of the basketball that helped usher in a renaissance in that sport, too, games in McCamish Pavilion will certainly be different next year. In the same vein, Bailee Zeitler's trip across the stage comes after starting 165 games and counting for the Jackets, which is a perfect example of just how ubiquitous softball players can become with just how many games get played in a single season.
The conversation about ubiquity and memorable moments would not be complete, either, without a nod towards the graduating volleyball players, Mikaila Dowd, Kayla Kaiser, and Maddie Tippett, who collectively represent a vast wealth of memorable plays, individual and team accolades, and will go down as inseparable from the conversation when talking about my personal favorite Tech sports memories from the last few years, the three year arc of the volleyball program's transformation from scrappy underdog to unstoppable behemoth of volleyball annihilation. Obviously, in times of COVID, rosters are never completely certain until we get the next year's list given how many players mentioned so far are fourth years, but the accomplishment that is graduation is certainly worth noting, even if the possibility remains that some players could be back.
Turning towards the pool, one should not leave out the tremendous swimmers who crossed the stage that played such pivotal roles in the men and women's team top 30 finishes in the past few years, especially given that the team was able to get a fifth year run out of some of the fastest and most talented to ever join the program. The program without Daniel Jacobs, Clark Wakeland, Kyle Barone, Christian Ferraro, Caio Pumputis, Cami Hidalgo will certainly look quite different. Meanwhile, on the track, Olivia Moore and Nicole Fegans have not even wound down their current Tech seasons, but will join the swimmers and divers in representing a colossal array of program best finishes and postseason points.
It is not often that one could comfortably say that the greatest to ever compete for one or two sports for Tech cross the stage on the same weekend. It is decidedly even more improbable to see the two greatest men's swimmers, Caio Pumputis and Christian Ferraro, best women's diver, Cami Hidalgo, and the best long distance runner to grace the track or cross country course for Tech - yep, that's two sports in one - in the form of Nicole Fegans all graduate on the same day. And we haven't even discussed the special case that is World Series Champion and multi-time All Star Mark Teixeira. That could very well be five different sports mentioned in the same breath.
Last but not least, there is one more name I want to highlight from the list of 76 very dedicated and deserving Tech young alumni. Eagle-eyed readers of From the Rumble Seat knew of him three years ago, but not for the role he likely interacted with all of you in. For those with a long memory, you might remember Landon Eisenhunt from a recap of the 2019 College Club Swimming National Championship that the Georgia Tech Swim Club won, but those on Twitter or at Bobby Dodd this weekend know him as the Buzz that was carried across the stage in the morning undergrad commencement. Thank you to all of the other spirit team members, particularly those that toil in secrecy as one of Tech's most beloved traditions until they finally get their moment in the spotlight outside of the costume, and, to this Buzz in particular, a hearty congratulations on earning that degree.

It was a tough way to go out for the Jackets, but they certainly fought to the end in their Second Round match against host Auburn this past Saturday. After knocking off Memphis in the first round 4-1, thanks to a quick doubles point win and singles points from Kylie Bilchev, Mahak Jain, and Gia Cohen, Tech was able to take the doubles point for a second day in a row against the Tigers. Tech managed to push the lead all the way to the brink, leading 3-1 thanks to wins from Cohen and Carol Lee. Auburn, though, led on several other courts, and after rattling off two quick points, was able to close the match on court 5, despite a valiant comeback effort from Rosie Garcia Gross.

Seawalls, quite possibly are the single most expensive property repair that any water front home owner may encounter. Seawalls cost more than swimming pools and roofs. The investment you make to perform routine or required maintenance may save you the thousands of dollars in the long run. Most seawalls in Florida are built of concrete panels or limestone rock grouted together typically called "coral rock walls".
Erosion, tidal action by nature, or boat wakes poses a serious threat to any seawall and separates the strong and healthy seawall from the weak ones. Summer storms in South Florida are notorious for dumping 3-6 inches of rain in just a few hours. This extreme load of water running off your roof, from your pool, or just a sloping back yard will test your wall to its limits.
● Are there depressions appearing in the yard adjacent to the wall?
● Is the soil disappearing?
● Are there cracks in the cap of the wall face itself?
● Is your wall dipping, sagging, or even worse, bowing outwards?
Any of these conditions could mean you have serious seawall issues that should be addressed. Sealing and patching is a common maintenance practice. All walls have sections between panels, loose rocks, cracks, holes, or loose joints. All of these minor issues can be corrected by installing high strength marine grout to the affected areas. The grout will prevent sea water from flowing through the wall and eroding away fine sand and soil from the yard and under the wall. Second most common repair is footers. Often times the depth or penetration of the seawall no longer extends below the "berm" or base of the canal bed. This is called undermining caused by tidal erosion or upland pressure pushing sand fill out under the bottom of the panel.
A typical repair is to drive aluminum or vinyl sheet piling in front of the existing wall to form a row. When the driven row is in place pumped concrete will be installed to fill in the area created between the wall and new footer sheets. The driven sheets extend the depth of the wall. Another more costly repair is called batter pilings. Often times an old wall will show signs of leaning outward by as much as a foot or more. Causes usually are due to upland pressure brought on by pool construction or heavy loads like garden walls or big trees.
A batter piling is a 12" x 12" concrete piling driven in front of the wall at a 30 degree angle spaced every 10 feet. With the new batter pilings installed a new concrete cap can be formed and poured over them to connect the old wall to the new supporting batter pilings.
The photo on the top of this page shows our barge and crane at work. Morrison Contractors is equipped to handle any and all needs that may arise.
For any type of Florida seawall inspection, repair, replacement, or questions please contact us for a no cost estimate.

Q: Docking mdi controls in c# I have a main form in a panel on the left thats clickable, depending on what you click a new type of form opens. on the righti have another panel where i want to dock the forms that have been opened from clicking on the left.
How can i get the forms to add in a list under one another in the panel on the right? the issue with the code below is that it adds the first element fine. However when i add the second element they both dissapear behind the panel :/
private void addToPanel2(Form o)
{
    if (o is Form)
    {

        if (panel2.Controls.Count == 0)
        {
            o.MdiParent = this;
            panel2.Controls.Add(o);
            o.Dock = DockStyle.Top;
            o.Show();
        }
        else
        {
            //then we know that this is an addable data item
            foreach (Form obj in panel2.Controls)
            {
                if(obj.GetType().Name.Equals(o.GetType().Name))
                {
                    //we dont want to add it as the data type is already open
                    MessageBox.Show("This data item must already be open. Please Check.");
                }
                else
                {
                    // add it as its not in there
                    Form f = (Form)obj;
                    f.MdiParent = this;
                    f.Dock = DockStyle.Top;
                    f.Show();
                }
            }
        }
    }

A: This is not possible, an MDI child form cannot be a child control of a panel.  Adding a non-MDI form to a panel is an iffy proposition as well but is supported.  Call its SetTopLevel() method, passing false, set its Visible property to true.  You also have to set its FormBorderStyle property to None, it no longer behaves properly as a top-level window.
This just turns it into a UserControl.  You are better off actually making it a UserControl, that uses a lot less resources and is much better documented.

Q: Custom CIKernel and iOS7 I have an iOS project that supports devices running both iOS 7 and 8 (project deployment target: 7.0) and I have recently started implementing a custom CIKernel with the new API introduced in iOS 8.
While the code compiles and runs with no issues in every iOS 8 device, every time I try to run it in an iOS 7 device I get this error:
dyld: Symbol not found: _OBJC_CLASS_$_CIColorKernel
  Referenced from: /var/mobile/Applications/...
  Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreImage.framework/CoreImage
 in /var/mobile/Applications/...

The code that generates the error is this one:
kernel = [CIColorKernel kernelWithString:kernelStr];

The kernelWithString: method was introduced in iOS8, as the CIKernel.h declares:
__OSX_AVAILABLE_STARTING(__MAC_10_10, __IPHONE_8_0);

So my question is: How can I make the app run on both iOS 7 and 8 devices and just have my custom CIKernel feature disabled for the iOS 7 devices? Is that possible?
Note that I have changed the CoreImage.framework from 'Required' to 'Optional' from the project settings and the app runs in iOS7.0 devices but it feels really hack-y to be honest.
I have also tried the preprocessor commands: __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED and __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED but those are useful only for compile time.
Any clues?

A: Try using this:
Class colorKernelClass = NSClassFromString(@"CIColorKernel");
kernel = [colorKernelClass kernelWithString:str];

A:
So my question is: How can I make the app run on both iOS 7 and 8 devices and just have my custom CIKernel feature disabled for the iOS 7 devices? Is that possible?

You can check the version of the OS at runtime like this:
NSString *osVer = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion]

This gives a string that you can parse and extract the major version...

Q: Android Chrome - Unable to open PDF I have a reponsive bootstrap application and while trying to open the pdf from mobile getting error. I am able to open the pdf from iphone however from android chrome it says "media not supported exception"
I have my application type as "octet-stream"
Thanks for your help.

A: The application/octet-stream MIME should only be used when you don't know what the file contents is going to be, as it's for arbitrary binary data. The receiver has to attempt to work out what type it is, based on it's content and/or file extension.
You should be always use the appropriate MIME if it is known:
Content-Type: application/pdf
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="document.PDF"


Resital is a periodic scientific journal devoted to publish scientific research, development, and literature in the field of performing arts.
For various reasons, this kind of free and unrestricted online availability, which we will call open access, has so far been limited to small portions of the journal literature. But even in these limited collections, many different initiatives have shown that open access is economically feasible, that it gives readers the extraordinary power to find and make use of relevant literature, and that it gives authors and their works vast and measurable new visibility, readership, and impact. To secure these benefits for all, we call on all interested institutions and individuals to help open up access to the rest of this literature and remove the barriers, especially the price barriers, that stand in the way. The more who join the effort to advance this cause, the sooner we will all enjoy the benefits of open access.
Resital is a peer-reviewed journal published in April, August, and December. The journal contents are managed by Faculty of Performing Arts, Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta. This statement clarifies the ethical behavior of all parties involved in the act of publishing an article in this journal, including the author, the chief editor, the Editorial Board, the peer-reviewer and the publisher (Faculty of Performing Arts). This statement is based on COPE's Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer, the publisher, and the society.

43 years in the making Zoo Med is a story of passion and discovery. It all started with a young Gary Bagnall exploring the creek near his home in northern California and the delight he found in the bustling local habitat of frogs and toads. The Outdoors called to him and he found peace and happiness there. Discovering creatures and studying their habitats sparked a flame in him that has yet to die out and one that he has been passionate about sharing with others.
The wonder he discovered from his days in the creek, the skills he gathered from working at pet and fish shops in his youth, and the sense of community he found in breeding and trading reptiles with others from around the world all collaborated in Gary's vision that became Zoo Med Laboratories; the pinnacle in innovative pet care for reptiles and exotic pets for pet owners and conservationists worldwide.
Zoo Med Laboratories has been on the cutting edge of reptile husbandry and innovation for 43 years. In 1993 Zoo Med developed the 1st UVB lamp for reptiles, which changed the way all Zoos, herpetologist, and hobbyists keep reptiles in captivity. Zoo Med currently has over 30 patents and manufactures over 50% of its 1200 item product line at company headquarters in San Luis Obispo, California.

The struggling sales of the PS Vita have left many to wonder if the device just isn't a little expensive. Much speculation has been had over whether or not a price cut could be what the Vita needs to help boost sales – much like we saw previously with the Nintendo 3DS.
Now would be a particularly good time due to the upcoming holiday season (Thanksgiving is looming in America), but Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida says people shouldn't get their hopes up anytime soon.
Nintendo's 3DS price cut came only 6 months after the console's release, when the Japanese manufacturer made the decision to cut the price in North America by a healthy 90 dollars. The 3DS has seen drastically improved sales since then, and Nintendo even recently launched the 3DS XL. Sony may be waiting on some bigger Vita titles to help increase interest in the device, since price cuts are presumably a last resort.

Back pain? Maybe it's organ-related.
In a healthy body, when you breathe, walk, or stretch, your organs move in your chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Your kidneys, for example, move almost four inches when you take a deep breath. In fact, when you move, all your internal structures – organs, bones, muscles, nerves, and the connective tissue called fascia – move inside you with interconnected fluidity.
Restrictions in the tissues around your organs can cause pain elsewhere.
If the tissue surrounding an organ is damaged – during sports, by a collision or fall, by disease, or by the post-operative effects of surgery – it can restrict or change the organ's regular pattern of movement. If this happens, the movement patterns of all the nearby structures can change as well. This "butterfly effect" throughout the body may be felt as pain or chronic irritation far from the original injury. Adhesion to the fascia supporting the liver, for example, can cause pain in the right shoulder.
How is Gut Health Therapy performed?
It is based on the specific placement of soft manual forces to encourage the normal mobility, tone and motion of the viscera and their connective tissues. These gentle manipulations can potentially improve the functioning of individual organs, the systems the organs function within, and the structural integrity of the entire body.
The therapist gently feels the viscera, or internal organs of the body, such as the liver, kidneys, and intestines, to check for restricted or altered movement. By gently compressing and stretching the affected soft tissue around the organ, the therapist releases the restrictions and helps the organ regain mobility. As treatment progresses, associated symptoms elsewhere in the body start to disappear.
How does Gut Health Therapy help You?
In a nutshell, this manual therapy is not focused on symptoms directly, but on the causes that generated them.
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on healing modality that focuses on the wave-like rhythmic pulse that goes through the entire body. This therapy stems from osteopathy, which is an approach that emphasizes the role of the musculoskeletal system in health and disease.
The craniosacral system is the deepest in the body and nourishes the central nervous system: the brain, spinal cord and the beginning of the peripheral nerves.
If you are in pain, have persistent emotional or physical symptoms, or are stressed, then it is well worth having your craniosacral system checked out. Even with one session you are on your way to a healthier you.
Just lie down and absorb the light for less than 30 minutes. Bioptron™ Light Therapy effectively reverses the major signs of skin aging and enhances the effects of cosmetic products and procedures. Used also for enhancing mood and stimulating the brain.
Used in hospitals for treating a wide range of medical and cosmetic applications, by stimulating blood circulation and tissue regeneration, while also reducing inflammation.
