The trip was great. Grandchildren loved the whale watching and the staff were so very helpful and explained everything so even our five year grandson could understand and enjoy.
Whales In Paradise - I'm disabled so was a bit worried about getting on & off the boat, etc. The staff made it hassle-free and were wonderful. From start to finish the whole experience was fantastic. I had a ball & absolutely everyone I dealt with was helpful & professional. I'd recommend this adventure to anyone. I will certainly be doing it again.

Selling a house around the holidays can be a difficult task for your clients. There's a traditional assumption that this is when the market slows down. Despite that, many real estate agents earn more by capitalizing on less inventory to drive demand for buyers who truly are looking to move before the new year.
Don't assume that homes won't sell this time of year. They can—if you know how to do it right. Check out our list of dos and don'ts so that you can help your clients have a stress-free real estate open house this holiday season.
1. DO: Shovel the walk.
If your clients live in a cold climate, make sure the walkways and stairs are free of ice and snow. This will not only give your home a more polished look, but it will also ensure the safety of potential buyers. If you don't already carry a shovel in your car this time of year, it might be helpful to travel with one in case your client doesn't have proper snow-removing tools. A bag of salt can go a long way, too!
2. DO: Heat the house.
Make sure the thermostat is turned up when it's time for the open house. If buyers are uncomfortable from the cold, they are less likely to enjoy their visit. It's good to advise your clients of this before the open house starts so the house has time to warm up if they typically keep the thermostat low.
3. DO: Track the weather.
If the weather outside is frightful, it may be best to reschedule the open house. Make sure to keep an eye on the forecast in case of any storms coming your way.
4. DO: Get into the spirit of the season.
Put on some soft classical music and offer some homemade holiday cookies, hot cocoa and other snacks that can encourage prospective buyers to take shelter from the cold. A nice pot of spices boiling on the stove doesn't hurt, either! Add orange peels, cloves, cinnamon sticks and nutmeg on the stove to simmer with some water for a homey, delightful scent.
5. DO: Deck the halls.
Take advantage of the holiday season by encouraging sellers to incorporate holiday decor into their open house. Twinkling Christmas lights or a scented holiday candle can welcome buyers and lift spirits.
6. DO: Write a powerful listing description.
Listing descriptions these days are more than just point form lists—you need a powerful listing description! You want to engage your clients to feel excited about the home, especially about what the joy of purchasing a new home during the holidays will mean for them. Try to capture the excitement of the holidays to drive interest.
7. DO: Build a snowman.
Nothing says "Welcome to your new house" more than a Frosty in the front yard ready to greet potential buyers. If the snow is wet enough to make a snowman, why not take advantage of the season?
1. DON'T: Overdo the holiday spirit.
Though holiday decorations may create a cozier atmosphere in the home, you don't want to overdo it. Anything that may distract from the home's curb appeal—Santa and Rudolph inflatables, for example—should be put away until after the showing.
2. DON'T: Forget to declutter.
Try not to go overboard and keep clutter to a minimum. Put away personal items, such as family photos, as they tend to distract potential buyers.
3. DON'T: Emphasize religion too heavily.
There are many religions who celebrate this time of year. Going overboard on religious symbols can be off-putting to some, so remind your clients keep it tasteful despite their personal convictions.
4. DON'T: Leave presents out in the open.
'Tis the season of giving, but not to potential buyers. Make sure you pack expensive gifts and treasures away. Not only do many presents clutter the home, but they can be awkwardly personal for a new family trying to imagine their own future memories in the home.
The bottom line is, the work doesn't stop just because the holidays are here! Use this time of year to brighten your open houses and not as an excuse to give up. Some buyers are specifically looking to purchase this time of year, and you might have just the property for them.
Find more tips on hosting and marketing your open house and how to write a powerful real estate listing description.

News that CEO J. Michael Pearson is hospitalized with pneumonia sent the pharma's stock reeling.
What: After announcing that CEO J. Michael Pearson has been hospitalized and that a consortium of board members and executives will serve as a temporary replacement for Pearson while he's being treated, shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:BHC) tumbled 10% on Monday.
So what: Valeant Pharmaceuticals has been under pressure since questions have been raised about its M&A-hungry business strategy, drug pricing plans, and relationships with drug distributors.
Pearson has been navigating the company through this troubling period by justifying Valeant Pharmaceuticals' business model to investors, including in December at the company's annual investor day, and by defending itself against legislative scrutiny, which includes congressional requests for insight into its pricing policies.
Now what: Pearson, formerly a board member at McKinsey & Company, is highly regarded for his work in turning Valeant Pharmaceuticals into a global drug giant, and filling his shoes, albeit even temporarily, appears to be a big job.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals' board is dividing up Pearson's responsibility between Robert Chai-Onn, its general counsel, Robert Rosiello, its chief financial officer, and Ari Kellen, the person in charge of Valeant Pharmaceuticals U.S. dermatology and contact-lens division. That triumvirate will be overseen by a three-person committee comprised of members of Valeant Pharmaceuticals' board of directors.

a common issue with the H2 is the undercarriage protection making sounds like the suspension is breaking down. if you have squeals, grinding noises or pop sounds from the front end when turningin the first thing to try is to remove the skid plate and transfer case cage from under the vehicle and see if the sound goes away. another common issue is the cage under the transfer case touching the exhaust pipe and creating a vibration that can be felt through the floor board when cruising ~1500 -2000 rpm. another symptom that can be easily verified by removing the undercarriage protection and trying to duplicate the problem.
I have a 2005 H2 and I get a popping sound when I turn but it sounds like it is coming from the rear. Any thoughts?
the front end popping ur experiencing/hearing is most probably the bearings. h2's are notorious for this problem.
I seem to have a front wheel bearing problem too. If any of you have replaced your own bearings...how tough a job is it? Any special tools required (like a torque wrench, or other items)? About how long does it take a DIY to do?
I think I did a "how to" thread on this a couple years ago. Its actually an easy job if you have the right tools. Make sure all your sockets are 1/2" drives. And you have a massive breaker bar.
4. Remove 3 or 4 bolts from the back of the knuckle and the hub and it should fall right out.
YOU NEED A BIG A$$ BREAKER BAR. to get most of these bolts loose.
My '05 H2 just started doing the same thing with the popping sound from the front end. I was having trouble consistently duplicating the sound so I took it to the shop. In my case my CV axle is going bad. Or it could be you wheel bearing like the others suggested. Let's hope it's the latter of the 2 for you. At least you can change out a wheel bearing fairly easily. With the CV axle it's around a $500 fix parts and labor.
has anyone had issues with the steering column vibrating due to fluid leakage ??
I have had the steering column re-filled three times and after about 15,000-20,000 miles you need to do it again and again.....my H2 has 97,000 and getting ready to do it again. HUMMER will not warranty it and it's a consistent problem. What a bad design !!!!!!!!

Post-processing RAW for Fujifilm cameras
One thing for which the Fujifilm cameras (such as my beloved X-Pro1) are known is their impressive on-board JPEG converter, which can produce sufficiently yummy images that many people who would otherwise shoot RAW just stick to JPEG with these devices.
I, however, want to stick with RAW, and I found that getting the best out of it takes rather more initial tweaking with the Fuji cameras than it did, say, with my Canon. I eventually settled on a small boost to the saturation (+13), and quite a large amount of sharpening (+60), and saved that as a Lightroom preset which I now apply as I import any images coming from the X-Pro1.
However, the biggest improvement came, I think, when Adobe Camera Raw (the engine behind Lightroom & Photoshop imports) was upgraded a couple of months ago. One of the easy-to-miss features was the inclusion of Fujifilm camera profiles which mimic the film emulation modes found in the camera. Even when I had upgraded and knew it was there, it was still a little tricky to find, but it's under the Camera Calibration section of the Develop module:
(click for full size)
I've found that experimenting with these profiles, and particularly using the VELVIA emulation while reducing my previous saturation setting a little, can bring much more richness to the colours.

Some patent lawyers sent me a few bits of paper this week.
I reckon there's well over 1000 pages here, shipped at, I imagine, vast expense all the way from Atlanta to my recycling bin here in Cambridge. The big box in the foreground brought them here. The slim envelope in the background is for returning the half-dozen pages that actually need my signature.
I'm not blaming this particular firm for this foolishness: they are probably obliged to provide me with hard copies by some outdated regulation kept in existence by extensive lobbying from FedEx and Xerox. But you'd think they could find an alternative. Like emailing PDFs. Especially since (a) I don't need to read them to sign the bits of paper and (b) their client is Google…

The race is to the Swift?
I love my Mac and iOS devices, but writing native apps for them has always been made somewhat less pleasurable by the programming languages available. Objective-C (which is behind the typical app on your iPhone or Mac) has its merits, or at least, had its merits when it was designed 30 years ago, but things have moved on quite a lot since then. And don't get me started on the abomination that is AppleScript…
That's why, amongst the panoply of geeky goodies that Apple announced at its developer conference this week, the thing that interested me most is their new programming language, Swift, which looks rather lovely. (You can find excellent introductory talks about it here.) It's early days yet, but may be good enough that, henceforward, people will flock to Apple's development environment because of, rather than despite, the language.
It's not clear whether Swift will be available anywhere other than on Apple platforms, and there may be a certain degree of deliberate lock-in here. But that's better than the old situation where Objective-C was available elsewhere, but nobody really cared.
All of which may help to explain why the book The Swift Programming Language had been downloaded by more than a third of a million people within the first 24 hours of anyone knowing the language even existed.

Q: How to properly mock useSelector hook to return correct values while testing? I have a function that calls useSelector multiple times upon rendering. In mocking the selector I used:
jest.spyOn(Redux, 'useSelector').mockReturnValueOnce(data).mockReturnValueOnce(moreData);

This changes the order of how hooks are called in my component. I have also tried creating a mock store and sending that into rendered component in the test as such:
const state = { userGuid: 'testGuid', user };
const store = mockStore(state);
jest.spyOn(Redux, 'useSelector').mockImplementation(() => store.getState());
const { getByTestId } = wrappedRender(ProfileScreen, mockProps, { store });

But this wraps the data in an extra object which my component cannot de-structure.
As of now I cannot find any other way to mock the return values of multiple useSelector calls without changing the order of hooks called. Any help is appreciated.

A: Relying on mockReturnValueOnce calls multiple times is a no-go as the order might change. The code below will just return the stubbed state no matter how many times useSelector is being called.
  import * as redux from 'react-redux'

  const user = {
    id: 1,
    name: 'User',
  }

  const state = { user }

  jest
    .spyOn(redux, 'useSelector')
    .mockImplementation((callback) => callback(state))

A: you shouldn't mock useSelector and useDispatch as eplained in the redux docs here: https://redux.js.org/usage/writing-tests… but you could control the intialstate pased in to store in your test or dispatch action in your test which should be more desirable… and this is how i implemented it following the docs.
in store/store.js
i created a function that returns a configure store function so i can pass in an initial state for the store
import { configureStore, combineReducers } from "@reduxjs/toolkit";
import { reducer } from "./yourSlice";
import { reducerTwo } from "./anotherSlice";

const rootReducer = combineReducers({
    authState: reducer,
    mode: reducerTwo
});

export default function setUpStore(preloadedState) {
    return configureStore({ reducer: rootReducer, preloadedState });
}

in utils/RTKOveride.js
import { render } from "@testing-library/react";
import { Provider } from "react-redux";
import setUpStore from "store/store";

function renderWithWrapers(ui,
    {
        preloadedState = {},
        store = setUpStore(preloadedState),
        ...options
    } = {},
) {
    function Wrapper({ children }) {
        return (
            <Provider store={store}>
                    {children}
            </Provider>
        );
    }

    return { store, ...render(ui, { wrapper: Wrapper, ...options }) };
}

export * from "@testing-library/react";
export { renderWithWrapers as render };

i overide the render function from RTK, wrapped my components that will be passed via the props.children in the provider component so components using useSelector and useDispatch still function properly.
even if you do not pass in a store or preloadedState(initialState) the code wont break as a store is created everytime the renderedWithWrapper is called
NOTE: the official react testing tookit explains how you could overide the render method and pass in additional options
then in your test/Component.test.js
import { render, screen } from "utils/RtkOveride";
import SomeComponent from "../Component";

  test("some foo test", () => {

        render(
            <SomeComponent />
            , { preloadedState: { authState: { state: true, refresh: "", access: "" } } }
        );

        const inputBar = screen.queryByText("foo", { exact: false });
        expect(inputBar).toBeInTheDocument();
    });

So you could pass in an initialState to change the default Slice InitialState or follow the other way the redux docs detailed...
Hopes this helps.

Big Data CXOs: Planning Your Surgical Strike
If you are like many of our customers, you have a big data solution and are looking to connect with those who might have a propensity to buy.
There are two ways you can approach this task.
You can take a shotgun approach, building the biggest possible list of IT decision makers and sending them your boilerplate pitch about the features and benefits of your product.
Or, you can plan a surgical strike, targeting high-ranking executives with known big data intiatives in place and writing them personalized communications citing their intiatives, and specifically describing how you think you can help.
"We don't want to give the impression that we are collecting so much data on our customers that we might be violating their trust…"
Jeff Donaldson, SVP, Information Technology and CIO, Gamestop Corporation
Which approach do you think would be more effective? Most people would say the latter.
When it comes to behavior however, most salespeople choose the shotgun approach.
Why? Because it's easier. The surgical strike sounds like too much work.
But here's the thing. It isn't. And the payoff is huge. It puts you in the position to have a business conversation with your customer--one that can lead to a multiproduct solution deal as opposed to a few point products. It also paves the way for a long-term, relationship built on trust and credibility that will continue to pay off for years to come.
At Boardroom Insiders, we help our clients execute surgical strikes and close bigger deals, faster.
Now we want to share some of our secrets with you.
Using Big Data as an example, we have put together a toolkit of articles and resources that will enable you to execute a surgical strike on Big Data decision makers.
First we'll share with you our list of hundreds of executives with known big data initiatives. Then we will tell you:
1. How to find deep intelligence on these Big Data decision makers
2. How to connect the dots between what you're selling and a company's big data initiatives
3. Our top five tips for engaging Big Data decision makers


I'd heard about this book while watching Anthony Bourdain in New York, and remember him saying it was a favourite of his. I also remember the wise words of Don George and Tony Wheeler at the Melbourne Writers Festival in saying that they like to read novels set in the cities and places they're visiting while they're on the road; while we didn't visit Boston during our recent trip, we were visiting New York, and I figured if the book was good enough to be read in New York by Bourdain, it was good enough for me, too!
'I understand,' Jackie Brown said. People who got out early from work went by in the November afternoon, hurrying. The crippled man hawked Records, annoying people by crying at them from his skate-wheeled dolly.

After My Court Order, Can I Make Changes?
Factors That Determine Spousal Maintenance
How Will Property Be Divided?
There Is No Cookie-Cutter Approach To Custody
Divorce Under Special Circumstances
Timothy D. Lees
The facts behind common spousal support myths
On Behalf of Lees Family Law, Ltd. | Jan 15, 2021 | Spousal Support/Maintenance |
Spousal support, sometimes called alimony, is often a misunderstood concept. If you face the end of your marriage, you should understand how spousal support works in Minnesota.
Get the truth behind these four common alimony myths.
Only women receive alimony
Spousal support traditionally assisted divorcing women who served as homemakers and did not have an independent income. Today, however, gender does not play a role in alimony awards. Minnesota courts consider the financial resources of both spouses, whether either spouse stayed home with children, how you supported one another's careers and several other factors.
Alimony lasts forever
Permanent alimony has largely become a relic. Generally, the length of alimony payments will reflect the length of the marriage. Minnesota recognizes short-term alimony, which allows one spouse to seek education or job training to become financially independent. The state may allow long-term alimony if you cannot become self-supporting because you care for a child with special needs or if the marriage lasted longer than a decade.
Infidelity always results in alimony
Minnesota does not consider the reasons for the end of the marriage when awarding spousal support in a divorce. Allegations of abuse, infidelity, substance use and other forms of misconduct do not influence whether or not you have legal eligibility for alimony.
The court must determine alimony
You and your former spouse can decide on a fair spousal support arrangement together. You can also come to an agreement in mediation.
If you cannot agree, you can ask the Minnesota family court to determine spousal support during your divorce proceedings. The judge in your case will have discretion depending on your shared standard of living during the marriage.

Graphene batteries may cut your phone recharge time to 15 minutes
Andy Boxall ,
The G-King has seven times the strength of a Li-Ion Battery.
China Xinhua News/Facebook
Imagine your laptop, phone, or other battery-driven piece of tech recharging in less than 15 minutes? That's at least an hour faster than the fastest smartphone recharging systems can manage today, and something most of us would find extremely beneficial. The good news is, the world's first graphene battery pack is here, and it promises to deliver exactly this level of performance.
Revealed by Chinese company Dongxu Optoelectronics, the battery pack is called the G-King. It has a 4,800mAh capacity, which is considerably more than what we see in a smartphone, and more inline with small tablets, or compact laptops like the 11-inch MacBook Air. Dongxu claims the battery regains its lost charge in 13 to 15 minutes. The battery shouldn't fall over after a single recharge either. Dongxu says the cell is strong enough to be discharged and recharged 3,500 times, which it states is seven times the strength of a conventional Li-Ion battery.
Graphene is the wonder-material we've been hearing about.
It's all thanks to graphene, the wonder-material we've been hearing about for some time, which has the potential to revolutionize the world of battery technology. Apart from making the batteries inside our gadgets more efficient, graphene makes flexible screens possible, and can be used to improve heart rate and fingerprint sensors. It's graphene's ability to make batteries better that has the world all excited though, particularly in the area of electric cars.
Dongxu's G-King battery was shown off at an event in Beijing at the beginning of July, and seemingly was demonstrated on stage, but that doesn't mean it's about to be fitted inside your next smartphone. The company didn't give any idea when the G-King or a derivative would reach us, and for now remains tantalizingly out of reach. However, the fact it has reached the stage in development where it can be officially unveiled this way represents a positive step closer to fitment inside the devices we use everyday.

Fermat's Last Theorem
by Simon Singh
Decrease quantity for Fermat's Last Theorem
Increase quantity for Fermat's Last Theorem
It was with these words, written in the 1630s, that Pierre de Fermat intrigued and infuriated the mathematics community. For over 350 years, proving Fermat's Last Theorem was the most notorious unsolved mathematical problem, a puzzle whose basics most children could grasp but whose solution eluded the greatest minds in the world. In 1993, after years of secret toil, Englishman Andrew Wiles announced to an astounded audience that he had cracked Fermat's Last Theorem. He had no idea of the nightmare that lay ahead.
In Fermat's Last Theorem Simon Singh has crafted a remarkable tale of intellectual endeavour spanning three centuries, and a moving testament to the obsession, sacrifice and extraordinary determination of Andrew Wiles: one man against all the odds.

Food Expo to Be Held Every Year
IFT's Executive Committee on June 15 unanimously reaffirmed the IFT's commitment to hold the IFT Food Expo® on an annual basis for years to come, and the IFT Council formally accepted this reaffirmation the next day. President Philip E. Nelson said that the reasons to remain an annual event are sound and numerous. "IFT is absolutely dedicated to providing the annual IFT Food Expo because that is what our buyer attendees demand, and it is what our supplier exhibitors deserve," he said. "Active buyers need the annual Expo because it fits their purchasing practices, and sellers need to meet face-to-face with new prospects, current customers, and hard-to-reach buying teams that are all accessible at the Expo. Therefore, IFT will provide this unsurpassed opportunity to conduct business at the Expo every year."
Other reasons Nelson cited are below:
· As a not-for-profit professional membership society, IFT exists to provide the services its members need. Every year, IFT members and registrants are enthusiastic about attending Food Expo, and on that basis, the organization has signed contracts with convention centers now through 2009.
· The IFT Annual Meeting & Food Expo is essential to the industry's educational, networking, and business environment, and Food Expo is cited as the primary reason for attending.
· For many of the 800+ exhibitors, Food Expo is their primary marketing activity of the year, and each year it attracts approximately 145 first-time exhibitors.
· As the largest annual gathering of key food product development and purchasing people, Food Expo offers the most efficient and cost-effective medium for suppliers to meet face-to-face with current and prospective customers—at a fraction of the cost of direct sales calls.
· Ninety-one percent of attendees go to Food Expo to exercise their buying power, while only 8% are called on by exhibitors' salespersons each year, meaning Food Expo is the only opportunity most attendees and exhibitors have to meet face-to-face.
· Food Expo attendees play a major role in the introduction of more than 5,000 new food and beverage products each year, and they rely on Food Expo to help identify what's new as they create next year's food innovations.
· In an industry that is turbulent with mergers and acquisitions, Food Expo provides the forum to reconnect personnel in the fluctuating marketplace.
· Food Expo is held in different regions of the nation and annually attracts a surge of local buyers. Thus, exhibitors who miss a Food Expo may fail to impress many active buyers in that region.
· Eighty-five percent of the industry continuously look for new suppliers; 64% of attendees use Food Expo as a main source of new suppliers; and 77% find sources of new product information from peers who may have attended.
While acknowledging the continued commitment to providing annual the IFT Food Expo, the Executive Committee restated that it is pleased that every supplier has the freedom to participate in the annual IFT Food Expo as often as they wish.
Mark R. McLellan becomes IFT's 2002–03 President
Mark R. McLellan, Director of the Institute of Food Science & Engineering at Texas A&M University, was chosen by the members of IFT to be President of the Institute of Food Technologists for 2002–03. He will succeed Philip E. Nelson as IFT's 63rd President when he takes office September 1, 2002.
McLellan earned a Ph.D. in Food Science from Michigan State University in 1981. After graduating, he joined the faculty of Cornell University, where he later served as Chairman of the Food Science & Technology Dept. from 1995 to 1999 and as Director of the Cornell Institute of Food Science from 1997 to 1999. He then moved to his present position with Texas A&M University.
A recognized expert in the use of processing technologies for fruit and vegetables, McLellan has developed improvements in processing systems for fruit juices and other beverages. Although he specializes in juice and liquid food products, he has also worked in the puree, dried product, fresh storage, and packaging fields. He has published on such topics as packaging studies, methods in sensory analysis, ultrafiltration technology, freezing-point depression, and others. As an outgrowth of his technology assessment work, he has also become an expert in the area of computer technology and applications for the food industry.
In addition to his academic work, McLellan has been involved in a number of professional organizations. He was a founder of the Council of Food Science Administrators, which represents all food science programs across the country, and served as the council's Chairman in 1998. He is also active in the American Frozen Food Institute, Sigma Xi, and the Instrument Society of America.
Since joining IFT in 1976, McLellan has served on a number of committees, including the Executive Committee, Scientific Lectureship Committee, ad hoc Committee on Information/Communication Systems, Information Systems Subcommittee, and ad hoc Committee on Publications. He has also been a Food Science Communicator, as well as an IFT Scientific Lecturer.
An active Section and Division member, McLellan has served on the Executive Committees of the Food Engineering Division and the Fruit & Vegetable Products Division, where he also served as Chair. He served as Chair and Councilor of the Western New York Section and Chair of the Western New York Food Industry Expo. Now a member of the Texas Section, he has served as Chairman of the section's Food Industry Expo.
In his new leadership position, McLellan hopes to improve the support IFT gives to its members by strengthening and invigorating the Regional Sections. He believes it is time for IFT to look at new models of support and design for sections and to find ways to help them achieve growth and stability. Educating the consumer about food science is also high on his list of priorities—he sees IFT as the voice communicating common sense and sound science to consumers.
Hollingsworth chosen IFT President-Elect
C. Ann Hollingsworth, President, Better Built Foods, Carrollton, Ga., was chosen by the members of IFT to be President-Elect of the Institute of Food Technologists for 2002–03. She will succeed Mark R. McLellan as IFT's 64th President when she takes office September 1, 2003.
Hollingsworth earned a Ph.D. in Animal Science/Meat Science from the University of Nebraska. She began her career as a research scientist at Armour Food Co. From there, she moved to a Research and Development Manager position at Bil Mar Foods, where she was promoted to Director of Research and Development. She also served as Vice President, Food Safety at Keystone Foods before moving to her current position.
Her IFT activities have included Council Representative to the Executive Committee and Chair of the Task Force on Enhancing Publication Efforts, Carl R. Fellers Award Jury, Education Committee, and Freshman/Sophomore Scholarship Awards Jury. She has also served on a number of other committees and task forces, including the Finance Committee, Continuing Education Committee, Task Force on Fellows' Awards, Task Force on Food Safety Initiatives, Basic Symposium Committee, ad hoc Committee on Professional Identity, Calvert L. Willey Award Jury, Awards Committee, and Committee on Membership and Professional Affairs.
She has also been active in the Great Lakes and the Cactus Sections, as well as the Muscle Foods, Food Laws & Regulations, and Student Divisions, where she served in various leadership roles.
Hollingsworth has also been involved in a number of professional organizations, including Phi Tau Sigma (President and Councilor), American Meat Science Association (President and Member of Board of Directors), and American Meat Institute (Member of Board of Directors).
In her new leadership position within IFT, Hollingsworth hopes to help the organization continue to develop and evolve to meet future demands while maintaining its mission to advance the science and technology of food through the exchange of knowledge. She wants the organization to continue to improve its communication processes while taking advantage of technological advances, using the progress made in its scientific investigations as a bridge to greater understanding and collaboration in the global community. Strengthening IFT's financial base through careful examination and ardent stewardship of its resources is also a goal.
Rooney receives Riester-Davis Award
Michael L. Rooney, Senior Principal Research Scientist at Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO)—Food Science Australia, was named the IFT Food Packaging Division's Riester-Davis Award winner for 2002.
The award recognizes lifetime achievement in food packaging technology. It was established in 1986 to memorialize Don Riester of American Can Co. and the Food and Drug Administration and Rees Davis of Continental Can and FDA, who helped found the Food Packaging Division. The award was presented during the Division's Business meeting at the IFT Annual Meeting in June.
Rooney has played a leading role in establishing active packaging as a legitimate research and development field. He has encouraged and advised researchers and manufacturers around the world to investigate opportunities to enhance food quality maintenance via interaction between the package, the food it contains, and the storage environment.
After graduating with a B.S. from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, in 1965 and an M.S. in 1971, Rooney worked in surface coatings research, followed by edible oils development with Unilever. The combination of these experiences laid the foundation for a career in the packaging of oxygen-sensitive foods.
At CSIRO, Rooney has built a team of 10 scientists that provides a unique resource in this field. Rooney's published research into oxygen-scavenging plastics since the late 1970s has helped to encourage others to develop alternative technologies, many of which are now reaching commercial fruition.
JFS establishes new page charge rate schedule, rates reduced for IFT members
IFT's Publications Committee has established a new rate schedule for publishing in the Journal of Food Science. Papers submitted on or after September 1, 2002, will be charged the following page charges:
• For papers whose authors include at least one IFT member, the rate has been reduced from $70 to $65 per page for 4 or fewer pages and $100 per page for additional pages.
• For papers in which no author is an IFT member, the rate is $85 per page for 4 or fewer pages and $120 per page for additional pages.
Authors are strongly encouraged to consider the many benefits of IFT membership, as well as the importance of concise reporting of their research results.
The page count can be roughly precalculated as follows: A typically laidout journal page can include either 1,000 words of text, or 4 figures, or 5 tables, or approximately 60 references (currently papers average 28 references). For example, a paper with 2,300 words (including titles, byline, abstract, and keywords), 2 tables, 3 figures, and 28 references would fill 4 pages.
The Publications Committee is proud of improvements taking place in JFS, including the shortening of both the review and publishing processes, the increased number of papers published, and the quality of the research presented. The rate changes will both encourage more concise, quality writing, as well as boost IFT's membership base.
Further author information can be found at www.ift.org/publications/jfs/sty-guid.shtml.
June/July 2002 JFS in print
The June/July 2002 issue of Journal of Food Science is now available. It features a Concise Review entitled "Water Desirable for the Human Body in Terms of Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) to pH Relationship" by S. Okouchi, M. Suzuki, K. Sugano, S. Kagamimori, and S. Ikeda and 62 other papers.
The "Industrial Aspects of Selected JFS Articles" page of that issue highlights four of the papers:
"Consumer Attitudes Toward Use of Probiotic Cultures" says that consumers who accept probiotic cultures as a health bonus want them in food (and not just in yogurt), but they don't want them to change the taste of food and they don't want to pay extra.
"Conjugated Linoleic Acid and Fatty Acid Composition of Yogurt Produced from Milk of Cows Fed Soy Oil and Conjugated Linoleic Acid" says that soy oil supplementation in feed increased CLA content in yogurt made from milk so produced. Whether consumers will pay more for yogurt or other dairy foods that have additional CLA is yet to be determined, but yogurt with increased probiotics, more calcium, and additional CLA may reach the status of a highly functional food in the near future.
"Overall Acceptability and Sensory Profiles of Peanut Spreads Fortified with Protein, Vitamins, and Minerals" describes the reaction of consumers to peanut spreads made by supplementing peanut-based products with soy. The development of a balanced peanut butter spread with the additional of vitamins and minerals (especially replacing the vitamin B complex lost in roasting and blanching peanuts) could improve the diets of children for whom peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are the mainstay of acceptable diets.
"Impact of Juice Processing on Blueberry Anthocyanins and Polyphenolics: Comparison of Two Pretreatments" concludes that overall anthocyanin levels could be improved by heating the fruit during treatment. Retaining more of the antioxidants should improve the color and flavor of the concentrate, providing colorful and flavorful blueberry products.
The table of contents for the issue, as well as the abstracts of the papers, can be viewed—and searched electronically—via IFT's Web site at www.ift.org/publications/jfs/index.shtml.

Andrew Romanoff: Is the national political establishment starting to take his challenge to Michael Bennet seriously?
Michael Roberts April 5, 2010 1:14PM
Is Andrew Romanoff's Colorado senate run against Michael Bennet making an impact in the Beltway? Prominent mentions in the Washington Post serve as telling indications -- and the paper has name-checked Romanoff twice in as many days.
Yesterday, the Post's Dan Balz gave Romanoff the full-scale profile treatment via a piece entitled "In Colorado, a Former Rising Star is as Welcome as Space Junk." Today, however, columnist Chris Cillizza cautions against anointing Romanoff just yet, pointing out that he's got to remain "within financial shouting distance" of Bennet or else risk having his victory in last month's caucuses be rendered meaningless.
Not likely, responds Romanoff spokesman Dean Toda.
In Toda's opinion, Post staffer Balz is "one of the half a dozen most influential political journalists in this country. He's been around forever, and he certainly knows what's going on. So I'm pleased to have the coverage and exposure -- and I think as we advance in the election cycle, more and more national attention is being paid to the Colorado Senate race."
Has that translated to a fundraising boost?
"We're certainly hoping that it will," Toda admits -- but he can't confirm one at this point.
"I don't know what the breakdown is," he maintains. "We're just compiling our first quarter Federal Election Commission numbers now, so I don't have any specifics. But I'm told we experienced a little bump after the caucuses in March."
Romanoff will need more than a little bump to avoid eating Bennet's fiscal dust, at least according to Cillizza's digits. Here's his Romanoff paragraph:
The former speaker of the Colorado House drew some positive press when he beat appointed Sen. Michael Bennet in the state's Democratic caucuses last month. But that victory will be rendered almost meaningless if Romanoff can't stay within financial shouting distance of Bennet in advance of their primary faceoff in August. Bennet raised $1.16 million in the final quarter of 2009 to Romanoff's $337,000.
Figures are more positive in terms of the county caucuses, which are ongoing.
"There have been 28 of them so far, and there are two more tonight -- Summit County and Dolores County," Toda says. "And of the 28 so far, Andrew has improved his standing in 22 of them. His percentage of delegates is now greater than the percentage he got during the straw poll at the caucuses [he finished with 51 percent]. According to our tally, he has 53 percent of the delegates so far. Bennet has 43 percent, and undecided is 4 percent."
That doesn't mean Romanoff has won at each of these get-togethers. In some, he's cut into Bennet's lead, although he still trails. "In Larimer County, we went from being down nineteen points in the caucuses to being down only three points," Toda allows. "And in Mesa County, we were down nearly three to one in the caucuses, but we recovered almost all of that at the assembly on Saturday. Now we're down eight points there."
Bennet can certainly mount a comeback. This Saturday, the largest of the county caucuses take place. "Boulder, Denver, Jefferson, Arapahoe, El Paso, Pueblo -- those are the big boys," Today says. "We're a hair over a thousand delegates selected already, but nearly 2,900 will be selected on Saturday."
Predictably, Toda is optimistic about his guy's chances. The Saturday assemblies "are in larger urban and suburban counties, and those have been good places for Andrew," he notes.
In the meantime, Bennet's minions have launched a petition drive to ensure that he'll be on the August primary ballot no matter what happens. Toda sees this move as telling.
"The only possible reason he'd do such a thing is to protect himself in the event that he doesn't get 30 percent at the state assembly," he says. "And if the Bennet campaign is worried they're not going to get 30 percent, we must be doing well."
Well enough for the Washington Post to notice.

Tour de Yorkshire routes could see cyclists banned after angry motorists complain they hog roads

17 July 2018 • 6:32pm
Tour de Yorkshire routes could see cyclists banned from riding after angry motorists complained.
Riders who cycle in pelotons, where they pack closely together as they ride, have been accused of hogging entire roads by refusing to give way to motorists, flicking v-signs at car drivers and speeding through villages.
Warning signs are now being put up to urge riders to cycle in single file rather than pack formations when negotiating the narrow routes across the Yorkshire Dales.
The signs come at a time when British Cycling is already battling to keep Yorkshire Tour de France routes open after a spate of deaths were revealed earlier this year.
North Yorkshire County Councillor Caroline Patmore said "the behaviour of cyclists" was the problem.
"All they do is speed and it's not just two abreast - sometimes it's three or four on very narrow roads," she said.
"It is not good for motorists following them up a hill. When you do overtake them you get a rude gesture."
Councillor Patmore added that cars coming up behind them could not seem to get past the cyclists who ride "four abreast".
"It is called road rage. We have very wide lorries and farm vehicles and there really is not room on the roads for cyclists and these wide vehicles," she said.
"We have had one or two very nasty accidents. Certainly, on the narrow roads they should have signs up saying 'Cyclists welcome - but in single file only'."

According to the Department of Transport 246 cyclists were killed or seriously injured in North Yorkshire in the three years since the Grand Depart, compared with 34 in 2006.
Highways officials are putting up more danger signs in response to a spate of deaths including. After the death of 65-year-old Christopher Auker, from Selby, North Yorkshire, who ran into a stationary caravan while competing in a time trial event on the A63 near Hull in 2013,
Highways England sought to ban all cyclists from a 15-mile stretch of the A63, where there have been five other cycling crashes in the past five years.
Julie Harrington, CEO of British Cycling, the sport's governing body, said: "Our aim to encourage more people onto their bikes will ultimately lead to our roads becoming less congested, and our population becoming healthier.
"Therefore, any move to 'ban' cyclists from any stretch of road is deeply concerning."
She added that the Grand Depart had a "catalytic effect" on cycling in the region and said the rise ought to be celebrated.
Highways England, which has received 10,000 letters of objection to the ban, says a final decision will be announced in Autumn.

Spheroid culture is a preferable cell culture approach for some cell types, including hepatocytes, as this type of culture often allows maintenance of organ-specific functions. In this study, we describe a spheroid microarray chip (SM chip) that allows stable immobilization of hepatocyte spheroids in microwells and that can be used to evaluate drug metabolism with high efficiency. The SM chip consists of 300-μm-diameter cylindrical wells with chemically modified bottom faces that form a 100-μm-diameter cell adhesion region surrounded by a nonadhesion region. Primary hepatocytes seeded onto this chip spontaneously formed spheroids of uniform diameter on the cell adhesion region in each microwell and these could be used for cytochrome P-450 fluorescence assays. A row of microwells could also be connected to a microchannel for simultaneous detection of different cytochrome P-450 enzyme activities on a single chip. The miniaturized features of this SM chip reduce the numbers of cells and the amounts of reagents required for assays. The detection of four cytochrome P-450 enzyme activities was demonstrated following induction by 3-methylcholantlene, with a sensitivity significantly higher than that in conventional monolayer culture. This microfabricated chip could therefore serve as a novel culture platform for various cell-based assays, including those used in drug screening, basic biological studies, and tissue engineering applications.
A new method of seeking the presence of an analyte bound to a probe, wherein a periodic geometric pattern (24), constituting a diffractive system (2), is formed by alternating areas including a probe A, and areas not including the probe A. The diffractive system (2) is made to be diffractive before a sensitization step, i.e. a step during which a probe is temporarily brought into contact with a medium likely to contain an analyte and during which the possible analyte binds to the probe. The method includes at least the following steps: measurement of a power P1 of a first-order diffraction beam of a diffraction field produced by the diffractive system, with the probe unsensitized, sensitizing the probe A, measurement of a power P1a of a first-order diffraction beam of a diffraction field produced by the diffractive system, and comparison of the measured powers P1 and P1a.
Pallet arrays enable cells to be separated while they remain adherent to a surface and provide a much greater range of cell selection criteria relative to that of current technologies. However there remains a need to further broaden cell selection criteria to include dynamic intracellular signaling events. To demonstrate the feasibility of measuring cellular protein behavior on the arrays using highresolution microscopy, the surfaces of individual pallets were modified to minimize the impact of scattered light at the pallet edges. The surfaces of the three-dimensional pallets on an array were patterned with a coating such as fibronectin using a customized stamping tool. Micropatterns of varying shape and size were printed in designated regions on the pallets in single or multiple steps to demonstrate the reliability and precision of patterning molecules on the pallet surface. Use of a fibronectin matrix stamped at the center of each pallet permitted the localization of H1299 and mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells to the pallet centers and away from the edges. Compared to palletarrays with fibronectin coating the entire top surface, arrays with a central fibronectin pattern increased the percentage of cells localized to the pallet center by 3–4-fold. Localization of cells to the pallet center also enabled the physical separation of cells from optical artifacts created by the rough pallet side walls. To demonstrate the measurement of dynamic intracellular signaling on the arrays, fluorescence measurements of high spatial resolution were performed using a RhoA GTPase biosensor. This biosensor utilized fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) and yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) to measure localized RhoA activity in cellular ruffles at the cell periphery. These results demonstrated the ability to perform spatially resolved measurements of fluorescence-based sensors on the pallet arrays. Thus, the patterned pallet arrays should enable novel cell separations in which cell selection is based on complex cellular signaling properties.
