2010 Dog Bite Fatality: Lorain County Man Killed by 'Rescued' Dangerous Breeds
The property where Michael Winters lived with his father.
Breed Info Released
UPDATE 06/16/10: A report issued later in the day presented even more disturbing information. The nine dogs involved in the attack included: 5 bullmastiffs,1 1 rottweiler and 3 pit bull-mixes. It is important to point out that Kywa (who said "my dogs" in the 911 call) was not "rescuing stray dogs." He was only rescuing dog breeds known to be dangerous. As was put to us in a recent email, "The victim could have had a machine-gun and still have been in desperate trouble."
When deputies arrived, they shot and killed one bullmastiff and the rottweiler. Kywa had managed to coral the remaining seven dogs into the garage. The dog warden then tranquilized the dogs through a window and a vet later euthanized them at the scene.2 The tenth dog was not put down. This dog was a yellow Labrador that was inside the family's home during the horrific attack. This dog appears to be the only true family dog and likewise was kept inside the residence.
A subsequent news article by The Morning Journal posted parts of the 911 call:
Warning: Disturbing content.
06/16/10: Photos of Scene Released
In a disturbing update, the Chronicle-Telegram has published quotations from the 911 call that Kywa made upon finding the victim's body. The group also published photos of the crime scene and deputies posed to shoot aggressive dogs. County Dog Warden Jack Szlempa Sr. said his office was called out to the home about a year and a half ago after several dogs attacked another dog. No report was taken on the incident because it occurred on private property.
06/16/10: Family Rescued Stray Dogs archived
The Plain Dealer reports that Michael Winters and his father Michael Kywa rescued stray dogs and cared for them at their home on Ohio State Route 511. The two tried to find homes for the dogs in their care. They had about a dozen dogs of various sizes and breeds including a 200-pound mastiff. Kywa found his son lying in the driveway heavily bleeding with hundreds of bite wounds covering his body. His clothes had been ripped off by the attacking dogs as well.
Authorities believe multiple dogs were involved in the attack, but have declined to provide "breed information" thus far. Though clearly a fatal pack attack scenario, it is important to point out that such scenarios usually involve a pack of roaming dogs that attack strangers, not on-property dogs who attack and kill their keeper. Authorities eventually caught all of the dogs. Police shot and killed two of the dogs because they were aggressive toward officers.
06/15/10: Victim Dies Violent Death
Henrietta Township, OH - In a developing story, 30-year old Michael Winters was killed earlier today by a group of dogs his family kept in a fenced-in yard. Investigators said around 11:30 am, the father left the house and then returned at about 12:15 pm. At some point during that period, his son came home and was attacked by the 8-10 dogs in the driveway. His father Michael Kywa called 911. Winters was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency personnel.
1Five bullmastiffs easily equates to 500 lbs of dogs and likely more.
2Only in the most horrific fatal attacks are the dogs "euthanized at the scene" by animal control or veterinarians.

neighbors say they were fearful of the dogs and even altered their own behavior in order to avoid the dogs. a landscaper who works at the property next to the dogs also reports that he was afraid of them. i don't know what possesses people to want to own dogs like this but i am glad the dogs killed the owner and not one of the neighbors or other innocent people who were just going about their daily business.

"Rescued" dogs?
As time goes on, thanks to No Kill, we are having more and more of these hoarding situations, and more and more people taking in dangerous dogs because the No Kill people tell them they can be fixed.
They never can.
If these dogs attacked this man, what were some of them doing to the smaller, weaker dogs?
Letting large numbers of aggressive dogs roam around in packs is NOT properly taking care of dogs, and I fear that we have another No Kill disaster here that the county should have been involved with long ago.
Rescues and shelters need to be licensed and inspected too.
There need to be some ground rules, for the health and safety of all, man and animal.
(I also wonder if Lorain County is not a dumping ground for unwanted dogs, perhaps because people's local animal control and shelters have gone No Kill and won't take them in, or have a ridiculous "waiting list." Wherever this No Kill insanity is in place, trouble follows. No Kill has killed so many in brutal, uncivilized ways.)

This is from the Topix board:
i work at the hospital down the road from where this happened(and from where the ambulance was dispatched) and was told by a co-worker that EMS had been on scene for about 20 minutes and had yet to get to the victim because of the dogs. apparently they were all growling and barking at the EMS crew…

The following post by ItsATragedy was meant to be posted at this story:
From Trigger's link.
"Sheriff's Sgt. Don Barker said that when deputies arrived, they fanned out across the sprawling 9.12 -acre property with members of county Dog Warden Jack Szlempa Sr.'s staff to deal with the dogs, two of which were shot when they approached deputies in an aggressive manner.
During the hours-long search of the fenced-in property for the dogs, neighbors were told to stay inside their homes and media were largely kept back from the scene because of safety concerns.
Seven other dogs were euthanised at the scene, Chief Deputy Dennis Cavanaugh said. A 10th dog that was inside the house at the time of the attack was spared, he said. Barker said authorities had no choice but to put down all of the dogs, which varied in size and breed, but included a mastiff and a Rottweiler."All the dogs are going to be euthanised," he said. "There's no way to tell which ones were involved."
Kywa didn't object to the dogs being put down, Barker said.
The dogs will be tested for diseases, including rabies, Matus said.
Barker said the only call to the home that deputies have responded to in recent years was a 2001 burglary call, but Szlempa said his office has been called out to the home twice in the past two or three years. The most recent call, he said, took place about a year and a half ago and involved several dogs attacking another dog, but no report was taken on the incident because it occurred on private property."
Another problem situation that the county and the dog warden should have handled YEARS ago. They KNEW this was a problem situation that was headed for disaster, and these people could not handle these dogs and did not have appropriate facilities, and also that they had packs of vicious dogs.
What does it matter that this was on "private property?" Most vicious dog attacks do. They just didn't bother to take a report? That's their JOB is to make reports. More government employees failing at their jobs, and helping to set up a deadly situation.
And as I speculated, vicious dogs killing other dogs. Typical No Kill situation.
Also the neighbors were very open about the viciousness and barking of these animals. Why was nothing done? Was animal control dumping dogs here?
HonestyHelps on June 16, 2010 at 11:19 pm said:
In the years that I had a sanctuary, I never had a problem with dog on dog aggression. The only time would be at night and the dogs would "spar" a little to determine who would get to sleep with the cat. If a dog came in new and went after the cat, the other dogs would put it in it's place and that dog would never go after the cat again. Each one was fed separately so no problems with food aggression either. I studied this "pack" of dogs, ever changing, and never had to break up a fight. But then again, never had a pit or anything close in that pack, mostly hounds of some type. And they roamed freely, always coming home at dusk. We lived in the middle of no where, no other neighbors, just woods. And they were all altered when people had never heard of spay/neuter. I wonder if any of these dogs were altered. I can't imagine the horrors of being attacked by several dogs.
And yes, this can be contributed to "No Kill". Hoarding is becoming out of hand and all under the guise of "No Kill". In California, all you have to do to get animals from the shelters is PRESENT yourself as a rescue, you do not have to be a 501c3. And now the Whino is pimping the Hayden in New York as the Oreo bill. I want rescues regulated, not given free rein. They are out of control with this "No Kill" movement.

Hours long.
The neighborhood on lockdown.
The cost of cleaning up this bomb that had been waiting to go off (which eventually did) was big for the Lorain County taxpayer.
And what if that emergency personnel had been needed at another urgent call? Someone else could have died because all hands were dealing with this insane situation that never should have been allowed to go on on.
The only family pet was living in the house.
The vicious dogs were out where they could have escaped and killed a neighbor. Or several.
I wonder if these dogs were not previous bite cases that made it through the underground to end up at this place instead of being properly euthanized where they originated?
WHERE DID THESE DOGS COME FROM? THEIR HISTORIES BEFORE THEY CAME HERE? WHO GAVE THESE DOGS TO THIS DISASTER OF A "RESCUE"?
Was this one of those sorts of places that Best Friends wants vicious dogs sent to? Or that irresponsible towns agree to let vicious dogs get sent to?
The sort of place that abuses and endangers when adults don't want to be RESPONSIBLE and do the RESPONSIBLE thing and euthanize vicious dogs.
Howwever, one of the articles intimated that this man placed some of these vicious dogs in new homes. The thought is frightening.
There are many questions here that needs answers, because there are more places like this out there.

At first when I read this story, I was thinking about the various unidentifiable mutts that are always dumped out in the country and breed like crazy. That's what I thought they were "rescuing" at first, so I was a little surprised.
Then I read the update. Now I'm not surprised. Thankfully an innocent person wasn't injured or killed because of their stupidity. I bet I can't say the same for the various normal dogs that were dumped or the local wildlife.
The man cared for his dogs, but apparently did not spay/neuter them.
Barker said several months ago one of the dogs had a litter of puppies and Kywa obtained licenses for all of them. Four of those animals have since been given to Kywa's friends and family.

QUESTIONS BEING ASKED:
In the past two years, the Erie Shores Humane Society received three anonymous calls about dogs fighting or being beaten with a 2-by-4 board at the property, said Shannon Moss, a humane investigator for the society. A rescue worker for neglected animals, Moss sometimes will care for 10 or 20 dogs in kennels at his Oberlin home. Moss visited the Kywa-Winters home three times after the complaints. "They did not seem sickly or malnourished to me," Moss said. "They did seem overly aggressive." He said he once spoke to Kywa through the fence and Kywa stated his dogs were well cared for. "Why did he have this kind of dogs? Why did they have this kind of aggressive dogs of this nature?" Moss said. "This didn't just happen out of a fluke. These were some mean dogs there. Why were they there?"

LITTERS?
Yet again, this seems to be a BREEDING OPERATION breeding and selling vicious dogs, and using the cover of a fake "rescue."
I wonder if he was not using the emotional bait and false misnomer of "rescue" to get people to buy dogs, when he was breeding them all the time.
Also to avoid paying taxes.
But the really disturbing thing is that there was a history, a history of aggression, abuse, dangerous dogs. Why did no one deal with this problem?
These dogs could have escaped from that shoddy operation and killed a neighboring family.
Why didn't anyone step in?
These operations need to be licensed and inspected. There need to be some rules, and they need to be required to follow them.
Aggressive dogs living outdoors in packs? The results of this were as clear as day.
It's a miracle that an innocent party wasn't killed- a delivery man, a neighbor, the mailman, a child walking to school down the road.
The pathetic thing is that if this guy had been running a junkyard there would have been more rules, inspections, and enforcement. And junk doesn't kill people.

Extract of sample "History US"
THE SUCCESS OF THE WORLD WAR II IN ECONOMIC RECOVERY, THE FAILURE OF THE NEW DEAL AND WAR INFLUENCE ON AMERICAN SOCIETY The coming in of Franklin Delano Roosevelt as president of the United States of America was received with great applause because of the many social and economic reforms he brought to the country in what he termed "The New Deal". According to Folsom (2010), reforms such as the WPA, AAA, NRA and TVA managed to substantially pull people from the dungeon of economic depression that ravaged the entire USA and the world outside. America slowly started changing for the better. Unfortunately, all these programmes were short lived and failed to create sustainable jobs, provide enough food and homes to millions of Americans. By 1939, the US unemployment still exceeded 20%. The New Deal also raised taxes such that entrepreneurs became discouraged from investing more. As such, the New Deal failed to end the Great Economic Depression.
When World War II started, America hesitated to join until 1942, when about 12 million soldiers were sent overseas to fight alongside the allies to defeat Adolf Hitler. Back home in the US, about 15 million people were employed in the manufacturing of military weapons, machines and equipment. Folsom (2010) and Bohanon (2012) agree that this is the most significant moment of the New Deal because it created more jobs than ever. Many Americans got employed either in the army or the military industry. This again provided an opportunity for production to increase in the US, hence boost the economy. Unfortunately, the produced weapons were not being used by civilians at home. They were sent overseas to be used in the war field. Even the soldiers themselves could not eat weapons. They needed bread, homes and sustainable jobs. On the other hand, taxes were still high such that what people earned could not suffice. As such, life still remained miserable and the quest to end the Economic Depression was far from reality.
According to Folsom (2010), towards the end of the war, in 1944, President Roosevelt started preparing for the post war economic recovery. He drew his vision but died six months before the war ended and before he could implement his post-war America agenda. His successor, Harry Truman, wanted Roosevelt's agenda implemented but the opposition (Congress) refused vehemently and opted for the opposite. Finally they agreed to totally deviate from the New Deal and adopt a totally new Recovery plan which included the following: no federal program for health care, no full-employment act; only limited federal housing; and no increase in minimum wage or social security benefits. Instead, the Congress reduced taxes across the board. Folsom (2010) further highlights, for example, that the FDR's top marginal rate, 94% on all income over $200,000 was cut to 86.45%. The lowest cut was from 23% to 19%. They also changed the amount of tax free regimes, which saw about 12 million Americans eliminated from the tax rolls. Congress also trimmed corporate tax rates and completely; and brought top marginal corporate tax rates from 90% to 38% after 1945. The results of the reforms dropped unemployment to 3.9% in 1946 from the double digits in the 1930s. The economy of the US picked again and the Great Economic Depression ended.
Whilst the economic reforms were taking place as explained above, the experiences of war tremendously changed the American society mainly positively. The Digital History (2013) says some notable changes were seen beginning from the 1930s where many marginalized people (e.g. the homeless, hungry, poor) were given their needs through construction of houses and establishment of the social security institutions which exist to date.
Another change was seen in the dressing fashions. In order to save wool and cotton, dresses became shorter and vests, double breasted suits, pleats ruffles and cuffs disappeared. Furthermore, mobility increased from farms and small towns to large urban areas, thereby increasing urban populations from 46% to 53% - a situation which had stagnated during the Great Depression years.
According to the Digital History (2013), the war industries also brought in urban growth. For example, Detroit grew because its automotive industry changed from cars to war vehicles manufacturing. California alone received over 2 million of the 15 million workers in the war industry. Again, women started being increasingly employed in the armed forces. Apart from these, 1 million of the 10 – 13 million African-Americans living in the rural south migrated to the north and more than 2 million worked in defence industries. Discrimination was minimised as more blacks were becoming leaders in the navy. Unfortunately, such positive changes became affected by shortage of resources such as housing; hence more quarrels erupted between whites and blacks. In addition, another positive development was the expansion of farming to serve the urbanites.
From the discussion above, it is clear that the Great Economic Depression collapsed because of the new policies which were introduced after the second world war and not because of the New Deal. The New Deal simply set the roots to economic recovery. The major forces were from the reduced taxes and boost in employment reforms. On the other hand, the war experience brought new changes in the American society that saw high rural urban mobility, change of dressing, women empowerment, urbanization, reduced discrimination and changes in dressing.

League support kicks in for Belt Up message
Alicia PereraPilbara News

Camera IconNPFL round six games promoted the need to "belt up" to stay safe driving on country roads. Credit: Pilbara News
Round six of the North Pilbara Football League competition took the opportunity to send a cautionary message about the importance of road safety to teams and their fans, along with good football.
Last weekend, country football leagues around WA took part in the Insurance Commission of WA's Belt Up campaign, which aims at reminding people to wear seatbelts to protect themselves on the road.
All league footballs and player uniforms displayed the Belt Up logo during their round 6 games, and people at the grounds took a minute to remember those who have lost their lives on country roads.
WACFL general manager Joe Georgiades said football had the ability to get the Belt Up message out to the very communities that were most affected by a lack of safe road practices.
"The Insurance Commission of Western Australia is our largest supporter which reflects football's wide-reaching ability to help reduce the number and severity of personal injuries from crashes on country roads," he said.
"Every year we hear of players who are injured or lose their lives on country roads and the devastation this causes to people, the community and our clubs is significant."
Each year about 40 West Australians lose their lives in road crashes because of failure to wear a seatbelt.
ICWA commission secretary Kane Blackman said football was an ideal avenue for promoting better road safety as men aged 17 to 39 years old living in the country were among its main victims.
"Unfortunately, our claims statistics from crashes are over-represented by young men in regional areas," he said. "This is consistent with the trend that people in regional areas have more crashes involving personal injuries proportionally than people in metropolitan areas."
"If people have to talk to ICWA they have generally been hurt in an accident. We'd much rather see those people playing sport."


Santa on his annual ride along Main Street in a horse drawn carriage.
Father Christmas will ride through Main Street in a horse drawn carriage ( several times) on Saturday 22 December as part of the annual Main Street Festival.
Santa will spread Christmas cheer from 11am until noon as he makes his way along Rogers Street, down to Drake Lane and up Main Street.
Elves will accompany him handing out lollies and Christmas smiles to shoppers in the street.
Buskers will sing carols and invite everyone to join in.
Mr Yakkerboo and Blue will be dressed for the occasion adding an extra festive feel to this year's festival.
Jillian Ronald, who is helping organise the event on behalf of the Cardinia Art Society, said the idea was to bring the joy of Christmas to Main Street.
She encouraged families to line the route to cheer on Santa.
"It has been a tradition for Santa to visit Pakenham on a horse and carriage," Ms Ronald said.


Is It Time for Solar Panels?
Solar panels take advantage of what is unquestionably one of Arizona's abundant natural resources: almost limitless sunlight. And solar panels make a nice addition to any home, particularly if you have a solid patio cover to attach them to.
A solar panel (also solar module, photovoltaic module or photovoltaic panel) is a packaged, connected assembly of photovoltaic cells. The solar panel can be used as a component of a larger photovoltaic system to generate and supply electricity in commercial and residential applications. Each panel is rated by its DC output power under standard test conditions, and typically ranges from 100 to 320 watts. The efficiency of a panel determines the area of a panel given the same rated output – an 8% efficient 230 watt panel will have twice the area of a 16% efficient 230 watt panel. Because a single solar panel can produce only a limited amount of power, most installations contain multiple panels.
To read more of this entry, please click here. Otherwise, read on about placing your solar panel on one of our patio covers.
Solar power requires exposure to the sun. One of the best places to put a solar panel is on the roof, as there are usually no overhanging trees to block out the light, and they're above anyplace where they can be damaged. And a flat roof like a patio cover is almost perfect for them, particularly on a southern or western exposure.
Solar panel is a clean and renewable form of energy. It helps to protect our planet, and save you more than a little money on your electric bill. So what are you waiting for? Get the perfect combination: a patio cover topped by a solar panel installation.
Royal Covers of Arizona is a solar panel installation company that also provides shade sails, manufactured housing, patio covers, and Arizona Rooms.

Az UFO egy 2018-as amerikai sci-fi film, melyet Ryan Eslinger írt és rendezett. A film főszereplői Alex Sharp és Gillian Anderson. A filmben Derek Echevaro, egy matematikushallgató, megpróbálja bizonyítani a földönkívüliek létezését. Ebben barátai, és a matematikatanára, Hendricks professzor is segítségére van.

Történet
Derek Echevaro úgy gondolja, hogy gyermekkorában egy ufójelenségnek volt szemtanúja. Egy 2017-es ufóészlelés után Derek megpróbálja bizonyítani, hogy az ufók léteznek, és földönkívüli eredetűek. Dereknek segítséget nyújtanak barátai, Natalie és Lee, valamint Hendricks professzor, a hallgatók egy matematikatanára (algebrát tanított a filmben).
Ennek során a főszereplő rájön az ufó(k) által küldött üzenetben olvasható matematikai fejtörő megoldására, majd a fejtörő megoldásából megismert segítséggel elmegy, hogy ismét láthassa az ufót. Amint ez megtörtént, amerikai kormányerők szinte azonnal elfogják. Ezt követően Derek az egyik UFO-ügyi megbízottól megtudja, hogy már korábban is feltételezték az idegen létformák létezését és megoldottak néhány, általuk küldött fejtörőt, azonban most egy jóval nehezebb fejtörőt kaptak, amelynek megoldásában ő is segíthet.

What is a disability for purposes of eligibility for SSDI?
by Ted Smith
It does not seem like the question of whether someone is disabled from working and eligible for monthly Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits should be a complex one. But the Social Security Administration (SSA) has its own definition of disability for purposes of SSDI (and Supplemental Security Income or SSI). The agency has a five-step process it utilizes to get to yes or no on the question of disability.
SSA's definition of disability is different from those used in other kinds of disability support programs like workers' compensation, or short- or long-term disability insurance policies. For SSDI (or SSI) purposes, the definition of disability follows:

SSDI claims: Long COVID-19 symptoms can be disabling
COVID-19 has only been with us a couple of years, but it has had a devastating impact on our collective health and psyche. For some individuals, it has turned into something more than a week of being extremely sick. A person may develop a condition called long COVID-19 in which a wide variety of symptoms – many severe and disabling even alone – can stretch out weeks, months or years.
When long COVID prevents a person from working, they should consider filing an application for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), an income supplement for those without adequate work histories to qualify for SSDI. But proving disability may be difficult for this condition that presents differently in each person.
Long COVID may prevent the ability to work

The 4 Methods for a Social Security Disability Hearing
First, a little history. Before 2003, the Social Security Administration (SSA) conducted hearings largely in person. For an in-person hearing, the Claimant and the attorney meet at the Office of Hearings Operations (hearings office) and appeared before a judge who was in the same room as the Claimant and the attorney. This was the preferred method of holding a disability hearing. Continue reading
What claimants should know about the initial application process for Social Security disability benefits
Ask anyone who has applied for Social Security Disability benefits (either disability insurance benefits or supplemental security income). They may tell you about a lengthy and frustrating process that required completing an in-depth application, filling out information forms for the Disability Determination Bureau (DDB), attending one or more examinations by a physician or psychologist hired by the Social Security Administration (SSA), keeping the DDB updated about new treatment appointments, emergency department visits and hospitalizations and then just waiting on a determination. Across the county, initial applications are approved about 30% of the time.
The processing times for initial applications increased significantly during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, SSA offices were closed to the public (starting in March 2020). SSA and DDB staff were working from remote locations. Beginning around March 2022, SSA offices started to reopen. Now processing times are much improved. Depending on the medical complexity of the case, it normally takes, at a minimum, 90 to 120 days for SSA to reach a determination on an initial application. (Of course, this is an estimate. The processing time varies in each case.) Applications which are denied will have an opportunity to appeal the denial.
The importance of being thorough and on time
Our Nation Remembers
This weekend, our family followed our Nation's custom of decorating the graves of family members who gave their lives while fighting for our country during their service in the military. The decoration of the graves included not only family members who died in battle but also those who, during their lives, served in the military. In the cemetery where our loved ones are buried, I noted hundreds of graves which had an American flag planted next to the grave's tombstone. The Cemetary's electronic chime system alternated tunes including patriotic songs.
The American tradition of decorating the graves of fallen American soldiers began shortly after the close of the Civil War in the Spring of 1865. With the war's end, citizens across the country began to decorate the graves of soliders who gave their lives defending the Union in the Civil War. The decoration of the graves consisted of placing flags and flowers on their graves.
With the advent of the first World War, the nascent national tradition of remembrance extended to those soliders who died in the World War I. Remembrance was later expanded to included soliders who made the ultimate sacrifice in all of our Nation's wars and conflicts including, Word War II, the Koren War, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Social Security Offices are Reopening!!!
Yes, it is true! After nearly two years of being closed to the public, the Social Security Administration has announced that our Nation's Social Security offices are reopening. The hope is that by March 30 the over 1,200 local Social Security offices will be reopened to the public for appointments and walk-in business. The exact details of how a reopening will work is still up in the air. That is because the Social Security Administration is negotiating those details with three labor unions which represent many of the workers in the local Social Security offices.
The reason that it is not 100% certain that the offices will reopen on March 30 is mostly because no one knows how the pandemic will play out in the months to come. If levels of transmission, COVID related deaths and hospitalizations are high, it is likely that the reopening will be delayed.
What will a reopening look like? We anticipate that the reopening will be phased in rather than happen all at one time. As of this time, the final details are still being worked out, however, what we do know is that visitors are likely to be required to wear masks to protect other visitors and the Social Security staff. The Social Security staff will be given more telework privileges, meaning that Social Security staff will be allowed to work from home (just like they are doing now).

COVID-19 PANDEMIC and SOCIAL SECURITY
On March 17, 2020, the Social Security Administration, like many of our country's businesses, closed its offices in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The closing of the Social Security offices included not just the 1,230 field offices in the nation, but also the 169 hearing offices. The motivation behind the closing was to protect the people who Social Security serves and the Social Security employees. Even though the offices remain closed, Social Security employees are working remotely (from their homes). With the use of phones and the internet, Social Security continues to provide services to the public. Without the daily "people traffic" the Social Security offices are beginning to catch up with the daily backlog. It is still difficult for some who interact with Social Security, particularly the disabled, to use the internet.

Social Security Offices Are Closed on Monday January 20
Social Security offices are closed on Monday, January throughout the country. The reason for the one day closure is the observance of the Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. (sometimes referred to as Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. day or MLK day).
This federal holiday recognizes the legacy of Dr. King and the contributions he made to the advancement of civil rights (outlawing racial discrimination) in the United States. Dr. King devoted his life to the cause of civil rights until his life ended by an assassin's bullet on April 4, 1968. A day earlier, on April 3, 1968, Dr. King had flown to Memphis, Tennessee to speak at a rally to support of the Memphis garbage workers strike. He was 39 years old when he was murdered. On April 11, 1968, only a few days after Dr. King's death, the U.S. Congress enacted the Civil Rights Act of 1968. The Civil Rights Act of 1968 is a broad law which includes protection for persons of color and protection for Native Americans. The Act also outlaws discrimination in housing (The Fair Housing Act). In 1988 Congress expanded the Civil Rights Act to protect, among other people, people with disabilities. Continue reading
Should you be taking Gabapentin?
Earlier this month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") issued a warning. The warning concerned the manner in which patients take certain drugs. The drugs are two commonly prescribed drugs: gabapentin and pregabalin. The FDA found after extensive study that these drugs may cause serious, even life threatening, breathing issues.
The FDA found that these breathing issues may occur when a patient takes either gabapentin or pregabalin in combination with drugs known as CNS depressants. Gabapentin and pregabalin may also cause the same problems if taken by patients who are elderly or who already have respiratory issues. The breathing problems are found to happen even if the gabapentin or pregablin are not taken in combination with a CNS depressant. Continue reading
New Hours For Local Social Security Offices
Starting January 8, 2020, all Social Security field offices will open on Wednesdays from 9 am to 4 pm.
On January 1, 2013, the Social Security Administration reduced its Wednesday hours for the over 1,220 filed offices in the United States. The offices, as of that date, closed on Wednesday at noon to the public. The reduction of hours were caused by budget cuts. The business model allowed the Social Security employees to work on Wednesday afternoon but without having to see walk-ins. In that way, Social Security employees could process claim work, uninterrupted, and reduce the need to pay overtime. At the same time, the Social Security Administration began to emphasize its on-line options to obtain basic Social Security services at www.ssa.gov. Within the Social Security Administration's web site, a person could apply for disability. That person could also appeal an unfavorable decision regarding an application for disability benefits. (Social Security's web site also allows for a number of other things to be accomplished without the need of going into a local office. These things include: applying for retirement benefits or Medicare benefits. A person could also notify the Social Security Administration of a change of address, or establish direct deposit.)

Results of the study "Architects. Situation, opportunities and prospects"
© Col·legi d'Arquitectes de Catalunya (COAC)
On 7 November, the Architects' Association of Catalonia presented, as part of the Architecture Congress 2016, the results of the study 'Architects. Situation, opportunities and prospects', a reflection on working in the profession based on the collaboration of 1,700 architects. The presentation was given by the dean, Lluís Comerón, who highlighted that changes over recent years have led every architect to rethink what might be their best professional options and opportunities. They are changes which, according to Comerón, 'represent new opportunities for the future of the profession'.
In response to this context, the COAC carried out this survey so that the results can provide a useful and rigorous instrument for analysing the current situation and assist architects in making decisions about the future and improve their competitiveness and market position. At the same time, the study is a tool for the Association to enable them to formulate a long-term strategy and achieve an improvement in the professional situation of architects and how they are perceived by society.
The majority of architects who took part in the survey and who have a confidence level of 95% are men (62%). In terms of age distribution, there is a predomination of architects in the age group of 31 to 40 years old. Of all those surveyed, 1,261 were Association members (78%) and 354 (22%) were not.
66% of those surveyed had studied at ETSAB and 22% at ETSAV. Recent graduates were in the majority, with 62% having graduated from the year 2000 onwards. Almost half had continued with higher education, especially master's degree and postgraduate courses (44%), and a lesser percentage (3%) with a doctorate. 26% studied part of their course abroad and 16% had done work placements.
57% of the architects were self-employed over the last year, well above salaried employees, who accounted for 24%. Furthermore, 15% fell into both categories and 5% did not have a contract. Amongst the salaried employees, we note a certain amount of job stability (50% have permanent contracts).
Last year, the vast majority of architects worked in the private sector (74% only private plus 14% in both private and public) and, more specifically, in a practice (77% of those who work in just the private or in both sectors). Only 12% of those surveyed said they worked in the public sector, the majority of them in town and city councils.
With regard to income, architects fall into an annual salary range of €20,001 to €30,000. 46% are paid less than €20,001 and a fifth of them less than €10,001. Only 30% earn an annual salary of more than €30,000. There are large salary differences according to gender and age. There are more men than women in the higher salary brackets.
It can also be seen that those who have a higher level of education also earn more. 40% of those who have completed a doctorate were paid more than €40,000 a year. This percentage drops to 20% for those who have a master's or postgraduate degree and to 16% for Architecture graduates.
Making a comparison over time, it can be seen that architects' salaries have declined over the last decade. 70% confirm that their income has declined compared with the situation 10 years ago (before the property bubble burst), and half say there has been a big reduction. Only 21% indicate their income has risen. With regard to gender, the progress of women's income was slightly less negative than that of men.
15% of those surveyed have lived and worked abroad for some time over the last two years. If we look at the age range of the youngest architects (younger than 30), they number 34%. When asked if they have thought about going or returning to work abroad, 40% answered yes. Meanwhile, the 34% who currently do not have international customers plan to look for projects abroad. Regarding the countries considered for working abroad, the league table is led by the United Kingdom (19%), Germany (11%), Switzerland (10%) and the USA (10%). Conversely, when speaking about countries in which to look for projects, it is France that is mentioned most (24%).
The current profile of an architect
Right now, architects are a rejuvenated group: over 50% are below 50 years old and 34% are under 40. Most architects are men (62%), although the new generations are beginning to feature more women. Where the female contingent is more numerous is at the training stage. 'And that means that women will have a greater say in the future', explained the dean. Whether men or women, 70% of architects work for themselves. They are self-employed and perform their activity in a private practice with one or two others. Only a few work in administration or for companies: industry, university, promoters, constructors and consultants account for fewer than 10% of active architects. For Comerón, this situation determines the main subsectors in which 'the main opportunities for professional advancement can be found'.
New construction is no longer their main job. To compensate for this decline, rehabilitating buildings has become the activity with most volume. This is followed by new construction, project management, then legal and bureaucratic matters and interior design. Over the coming five years, rehabilitation is forecast to continue in first place ahead of activities related to energy efficiency and BIM (the new comprehensive planning model that is set to become the standard). It is expected that new construction will lose much of its importance. This transformation is reflected in the continuous training received by architects. According to the survey, architects have spent recent years broadening their education in order to specifically redirect their careers towards these areas. Comerón stressed that, 'We are in a full state of transition, a new era that not only affects us but the whole of society, forcing us to change our professional role'. In this process, globalisation is very much present in the profession. Many architects have left to work abroad. 'For many, this process has been dramatic, but is has also helped us to internationalise', said Comerón. There are between 10% and 12% of architects working abroad and a similar percentage of foreigners working here; figures, according to the Dean, 'to be expected in an ever more globalised world'.

Finding Peace - Mindfulness - Anglia Counselling Ltd.
This wonderful introduction to mindfulness is by guest author Ashley Davis Bush, LCSW who is a psychotherapist and author of Shortcuts to Inner Peace.
It's tempting to think that you need the tropical beach, the hammock by the lake, the walk in the woods, the yoga retreat or the special meditation cushion in order to feel the "ahhhhh" of inner peace. We all have certain props or places that we use to jump start that special sensation of anchored contentment.
But what if, like the witches and wizards of Hogwarts, you could be transported to a place of peace whenever you want? What if your eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and fingertips were actually portkeys to mindfulness and that feeling of deep inner stillness and peace? Mindfulness is the ancient art of attentive awareness to your present circumstances. Going to that place of mindfulness can produce a feeling of calm and contentment. When you use these shortcuts every day, calm and serenity quickly become your home.
Stop and listen. Let your ears carry you into mindfulness. Do you hear the computer humming? Dogs barking? Colleagues chatting? Children arguing? Cars honking? Roosters crowing? Don't judge or label the sounds, just listen. Shifting your attention to the sounds around you momentarily ceases the stream of thoughts in your head.
Next time you're in the shower follow your nose. Intentionally smell your soap, your body wash, your shampoo, your conditioner. The fragrances of most bath products now are so intense that you will easily go off on an olfactory adventure. White nectarine and coral flowers… fusion orchid and coconut milk… french lavender and lemongrass.
Every time you eat is an opportunity to slow down and let your taste buds carry you into the present moment. Notice the texture, the smell, the taste of each bite. Feel the food on your teeth and on your tongue. Let yourself connect with the food and its deliciousness. As you keep your attention on your food, you give your mind a break from its usual ramblings.
While either sitting up or lying down, put one hand over your heart and the other hand on your lower belly. As you breath in and exhale slowly, feel the movement of your chest and stomach. Let the feelings in your hands take all your attention. These actions activate your parasympathetic nervous system, causing your body to calm down and relax. Breathe deeply, appreciate the momentary sense of stillness and let yourself feel held in a compassionate embrace.
Spa days are generally few and far between. But "Shortcuts to Inner Peace" are at our disposal every moment of every day. Use your five portkeys everyday to give yourself a break from stressful thinking and activate your sensory journey to serenity.

The recipe I am following can be found on Newlyswissed.com and requires store cupboard ingredients (plain flour, sugar, egg, unsalted butter, yeast, raisins) which is good because today I have an electrician doing work in the house and so can't go out to get anything (other than the children from school).
The unique thing about Three Kings Cake (which is actually more of a bread than a cake) is that there is a prize in one of the buns and whoever gets the prize is King for the day. You can understand now why this bread is so popular. The prospect of telling everyone else what to do all day is almost too much for the children, but it has its appeal for the adults too. Traditionally the bread is taken into the workplace and shared among colleagues, again with the prize winner being able to make decisions above their station. The prize that everyone is hoping to get is meant to be a miniature model of a king, but as I don't have any of those lying around I fashioned a crown out of a dried apricot!
As with all breads you do need to have plenty of time on your hands as it will need 2 hours for its initial proving, although I left mine closer to three hours as the dough didn't seem to be doing very much. My hunch is that my yeast might be a bit old and so, like me, it has become a little inactive. On creating my bun circle I was careful to mix up the order of the small buns so I have no idea in which one the apricot crown is hiding. Exciting isn't it?!?
The Newly Swissed recipe recommended glazing the buns with egg, but sadly I forgot to do this before scattering sliced almonds and some coarse sugar over the top. My finished Dreikonigskuchen is therefore a little over cooked on top.

Welcome to our Rays Lays review, where you will see us put this horse racing tipster service from Bettin Boffin under the microscope for 90 days. The service is run by Ray Mills and tips are delivered to our inbox each morning via email. The Rays Lays review will see results recorded at advised stakes and also at £10 level stakes.
Welcome to our Rays Lays review, a horse racing tipster service from Ray. We will be recording every result that he has over the next 90 days, and see whether he can make us a good return. This service has had glowing reviews in the past, so it be interesting to see whether the service can live up to it's previous successes. Previous years has seen the betting bank doubled and trebled with the minimum of fuss.
Selections are sent by email each morning around 9am. The Rays Lays review will be recorded at level stakes as well as to £50 fixed liability, which works out to 5% of our starting betting bank.
Follow us on our Rays Lays review, and see whether Ray can live up to expectations.
Our first month's Rays Lays review is now over and we didn't get off to the best of starts with three in a row winning their races. The month improved as we progressed though, and results looked altogether more promising.
The average lay price comes in at 5.32, so Ray does advise members to lay to liability where possible. Looking at the results spreadsheet we can see that both level stakes to £10 fixed stakes and fixed liability to £50 stakes is almost identical, so I'd personally advise members to lay to fixed liability.
Overall although we have seen a slight loss for the first month I am confident Ray will turn things round. I'll be back next month to see where we stand.
Rays Lays has now completed it's second month review and has unfortunately made a further loss this month. Ray clearly has a concise knowledge of horse racing and I am actively wanting him to do well. His emails always arrive in good time, and he summarises how yesterday's selection ran which is a nice addition.
Ray was taken ill at the very end of our second month, and has decided for health reasons that he will be taking a couple of weeks off to recuperate. Then he will be back in full force in January.
So therefore we are temporarily pausing the service until he has started the service back up again, so I'll be back then.
Ray started the service back up on the 1st January and since then has performed much better. An 88% winning strike rate, coupled with some relatively low priced lays has seen the service record a £62.90 profit to £10 level stakes lays, £150.61 to a fixed liability of £50 per lay.
I do like how Ray is open and honest, and his emails are always refreshing. I suspect his service will make a profit in coming months, so needs a longer term approach possibly.
Our Rays Lays review is now over and despite a loss overall I do hold out some hope for the service. I would say if you take a long term approach you may do well, but I have to base my review on results that we seen in our three month review so have to give it a neutral rating. Yes there was a loss seen, but so many other aspects of the service are very good.


Enjoy delicious meals, stunning views, and more!

She laughed and then says ' Oh well, I do know a lot about a lot of people and a little more about a lot of things!!' That laughter was the icebreaker I so desperately needed. I immediately felt at ease.
It was like she was verbally holding my hand. She continues ' When you say moved, how do you mean dear?
Now, to say I nearly fell clear off the bed is an understatement. I clammed . Gob smacked, heart racing and have to admit to being slightly sick in my mouth! (TMI sorry but you want warts and all don't you!!? Could be worse, I could have said I wee'd a little bit but I will spare you that visual! Ha!
Anyway my next question, given I have in no way expected this was "Oh my god, is she well?" Now I later learned that this simple little query was the one thing my BM said proved to her I was a 'Good and Caring lady' To ask after her well being. Fact was that is not a completely selfless question is it? As an adoptee I don't have a clue if I am destined to get some gruesome ailment that will kick my life on its head . I did ask though and was told ' Oh yes dear, she is well, a bit of a cold but she is still going to work tonight! ' Eh? She's still working at 61?? The conversation flowed as if we had chatted dozens of times in the past. Like I knew her too. Very surreal. I let it pass and asked if she would mind very much passing this information onto her.
It seems she did know her very well indeed, they regular did see each other, had to really didn't they given she never bloody moved since she moved there over 15 years prior!!!!
Now let me take you back to the SW and his help on my journey….don't get me wrong, he really was lovely and a major support to me as I learned the facts about myself prior to my adoption. Remember him saying that he believed that VS moved from this very address and was vanished without trace? We did both move on from here so he was not entirely responsible but it wasn't me who was trained in these things officially. Well you can imagine my initial fury at the discovery that we spent a further 6 months of heartache and mystery and she was sat in the very house doing her bloody ironing or whatever all that time!!
Initially I am not happy with SW AT ALL and admit to a lengthy complaint , more directed at the system and its restrictions than to the lovely man himself. I know he was grateful for my teaching him how to use Facebook 🙂 I guess I was more than a little disappointed given I had tried to do the right thing in working hand in hand with the Social Services. I am saddened that their hands are often tied behind their backs when it comes to carrying out these searches. Rest assured we did have a laugh during our working together and he will always be a part of my journey that makes me smile.
Next I asked E what she intended to do and she said I must of course contact her directly as I had to having coming this far. We agreed she would pass on my letter so she could email me or ring the number (which in hindsight was a mistake). Most 61 year old ladies like the old fashioned letter and my BM was no exception.
So I said good bye and thanked E for her time and sat stunned in silence for a good ten minutes.
Running downstairs I said to my Hubby (who was plumbing in a toilet at the time, romantic I know) and said slowly ' I've found her!!…..I've f***ing found her!!
He dropped his wrench and grabbed me in a hug . My child ran in for a group hug looking up at me seeing me with swimming eyes. 'Why is Mummy crying Daddy?
She did just that and I cried a bit harder…………..
Now, it would seem I was right about the email/ phone thing as a couple of days later the Skype number rings a second time. Lets say I was less likely to pee my pants this time but it was still very surreal , like a secret number that literally only me and one other person had! Bloody hell people, that person was my BM's best friend and next door neighbour!
She opened with ' I passed on your letter love and asked her if she knew anything about it. She said V said 'Oh my God That's my daughter' and broke down. She told me that she wanted to write to me as apposed to email as they shared a PC which was on its knees. She knew if she rang me she would just cry. I agreed that made sense and only at that point did I give her my home address.
You see I got to the point of trust before I gave that personal information over. Personal safety is paramount but you can trust your gut at this point as what is there to lose?
I had come so far, limped part of the way and run other parts. I was bruised and battered emotionally yet seemed relatively unscathed all at the same time. I knew from that day on that who I believed myself to be could be someone totally different once I opened this letter. Imagine that! My faith in my own past could be twisted simply by learning things that for the writer of the letter were old news. For me it was new news and could wound or heal in equal measure. Well I would be lying if I told you that in some dramatic way I ripped open the letter and threw myself on my bed to read it. I didn't. I placed the letter under my bed with its bright red envelope which was clearly a card and I walked back down stairs. The whole day was ahead of me and I needed a quiet uninterrupted zone to focus on the letter so I could absorb the information that lay before me.
That time was bed time so the day dragged on . You know what I did do though which looking back sounds totally irrational and a bit odd.I kept going back upstairs to look at it sitting there under my bed , like it was a gift I was excited to open but wasn't yet allowed!?
Thinking about it now I know why I did that….
You know after almost a year or searching, hitting brick walls and bouncing back to the start over and over, I guess I felt that actually this could result in a huge anticlimax. All the anticipation and angst. The falling out with my eldest sibling, the lack of empathy from the other one, the harsh reality that actually my Adoptive Mother was so NOT on side after all (more of that later!) All this came to a head . That afternoon , in the quiet calm of my home, before I even opened the red Hallmark envelope I cried. I cried a lot. I cried hard until my throat burned. I well up now recalling the utter relief flooding from my heart like a collapsed dam. My tears were for me, my BM, my adoptive parents, my siblings, known and unknown. They were for my past, my future and my here and now. I literally didn't know what the hell to do with myself. Was I happy? was I sad? who the hell knew?

The Old USB Key was Most Definitely Defective.
During This Preceding Posting, I had written that today I saw the need to dispose of an older USB Key in favor of a newer one.
With the older Key, for some reason my speed had gone down to USB 1 speeds as well. But I had let it run for a few hours, to transfer a photo album from the computer I name 'Phoenix', to the one I name 'Klystron'. There were roughly 6000 photos, in 200 folders.
After replacing the USB Key, of course the thought had occurred to me, that the transfer itself was suspect. So on 'Klystron', I ran a quick preview of the sub-folders. At random, about 1/4 of the sub-folders contained image-files, whose data revealed no images.
And so what I now did, was to repeat the procedure with my new Sony USB Key. It was able to load the images – which take up 7.8GB of storage – from 'Phoenix' at USB 2 speeds (20 Megabytes / Second), and save them to 'Klystron' at USB 3 speeds (80 Megabytes / Second). Hence, the repeat of that procedure merely required a few minutes of my time. In the process, the USB Key got warm.
Now, it would seem that there is no more corruption in the files, belonging to the sub-folders, as stored on 'Klystron'.

Foster could return Wednesday; Ward day-to-day
Texans coach Gary Kubiak said Monday that running back Arian Foster could return to practice this week and that Derrick Ward, Foster's backup, is day-to-day with a sprained ankle.
Foster was inactive in Week 1 with a strained left hamstring, which he aggravated in a preseason game at San Francisco on Aug. 27.
"He worked out today," Kubiak said. "Worked very hard today and worked good. He will come back in tomorrow and work again. I would like to sit here and hope that he would be on the field Wednesday, but we'll see. He is working well."
Foster was described as a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Colts, but it sounds like the Texans will need to see him practice before he returns to the lineup.
"It'll all be predicated on practice," Kubiak said. "I think there's some positions where guys can maybe not practice through the week and play, polish a little bit on Friday and play. I don't know if running back's one of those spots. I think you've got to know that you can burst and you can go.
"So we're going to watch Arian practice. He's a very good practice player; he works very hard in practice. If he's doing the things that we know that he can do, then we want him out there. He puts us at our best. All indications were Friday that we were heading in that direction, so we'll see where we're at on Wednesday."
Foster led the league with 1,616 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns last season. Even without him, the Texans ran for 167 yards and two touchdowns on 41 attempts in Week 1. That included a 24-carry, 116-yard day from second-year back Ben Tate.
"Ben played very good," Kubiak said. "It was really his first time out, and he goes out there and runs for 100-plus yards. He did a good job in pass protection, too, so I was encouraged by that. We played very good up front.
"I told the backs today, I think there was about 30, 40 more yards out there. I think there's some other things we can do running the ball and do it a little better… It's important whether we're missing somebody or not that we continue to run the ball well, and we were fortunate to do that yesterday."
If Ward is out this week, it could mean more carries for Steve Slaton. Fourth on the depth chart, Slaton had two carries for 12 yards and one catch for six yards in the fourth quarter on Sunday.
"It all depends where Arian's at when we get to the week," Kubiak said. "Obviously, Tate's earned the right to go out there and carry it some more, but I've said all along that I think Slaton has been an impressive player this camp."
Slaton had 1,282 rushing yards as a rookie in 2008. His production dipped in 2009 because of a nerve issue in his neck that led to fumbling problems and required surgery. He spent last season as the Texans' third running back behind Foster and Ward.
"Everything he's been through in his career, he never felt sorry for himself," Kubiak said. "He's worked really, really hard this camp. He has earned the right to be on this football team. Through what we've been through, for him to step on the field yesterday and make a couple of plays tells you what he's made of. I think Steve will help this team and will help it a great deal before the year's out."

Check the To Do list on GitHub !
Take a look at the Config, Locales (EN, FR, DE, ES, NL, HU) or the Tips and tricks page if you encounter any difficulty !
Feel free to suggest me your ideas or report your bugs via a new issue on GitHub !
Hi, please open a new issue on github so we can deal with it.
Hi, So I'm having a problem with /zh here ill type my horses name, and it won't give me any message or anything, then I type the id (25) same thing no message, then i do /zh here -i Simba and it will say that i have no horse with that ID (I then do -i 25 and there is no message, and no horse tied to me), but i do /zh list and Simba is there as number 25,idk if its a bug, but i just wanted to know how i could fix that?
Hey is this available for 1.11.2?
Hey! I downloaded this plugin, and i can't seem to claim horses, it the message just disappers, and I do the /zh tame, and it says, "You must claim the horse first!" Do you have any tricks for me? (I am on the horse when I do this, am on version 1.5.1, and have tried reinstalling the plugin.) Thanks!
Hello, what is your server version ?
Ok then the version is fine.
Could you create a new ticket on GitHub (last link in this project overview) so we can analyse this more easily ?
so, how does the system select the favorite horse?
It seems that 1st id is selected,but is that right?
Yes, by default the horse of id 1 is the favorite one, but anyone can change his/her favorite horse with "/zh settings favorite"
So, when a player execute "/zh heal", for example, the horse that the player is mounting will be healed, or the horse of id 1 (see "/zh list" for ids) if the player is on foot.
However, keep in mind that flags (-i, -t, -a) are not mandatory but allow better control on the commands when you know how to use them.
have you an example for the spawn command?
There are several examples on the Tips and tricks page, that should be sufficient for you to master the command.
Hi, as this is a call to the Bukkit API that is causing this bug I will request Spigot community's help. In the meantime you can switch to the old teleportation method (see config). Horses shouldn't duplicate anymore but you may encounter the issue that forced me to switch to the new teleportation method : horses disappearing from the server.
Hey! Ive had a little bug on my server. Horses have been duplicating a lot. Any solutions?
1.11 COMPATIBILITY FIX (beta) : HERE 1.6.2 is out !
How do we enable the plugin on a multi world server for each world? We use the spigot version but it says we need to enable it for the commands to work.

Plants take a leaf out of insects' books
Part of the show Your Science Questions
Acer seeds
GNU1.2 - Frank Vincentz
Scientists have discovered the trick that keeps certain trees' seeds aloft - and it turns out they use the same strategy as insects.
Writing in this week's Science, Harvard researcher David Lentink and Caltech scientist Michael Dickinson explain how they have cracked the puzzle of how the mini 'helicopter' shaped seeds of maples and hornbeams manage to fly so well.
"We immersed in oil a robot fly designed to mimic the seeds' wing shape and programmed it to turn in a circular fashion resembling the seeds as they fall," explains Michael Dickinson. "By illuminating a slice at a time of the oil with a laser beam we could see how the fluid was flowing around the wings."
What the team saw was a phenomenon called a leading edge vortex - LEV - which is like a miniature tornado turned on its side and sitting against the wing. "These vortices create enormous lift, which is what keeps the seeds up for much longer as they fall," Dickinson explains.
To prove that real seeds do what the robot model predicts they should, Lentink came up with a way to film the seeds 'falling' in a wind tunnel. The vortices were clearly visible and, intriguingly, they match the exact same mechanism that keeps insects aloft.According to Dickinson, "the falling seeds, as well as insects (which engineers say shouldn't be able to fly!), have their wings arranged with a very high angle of attack, which is what makes these vortices. Insects twirl their wings like a figure of eight in flight, these seeds spin."
The result is an incredible example of convergent evolution - how two totally different organisms have hit upon the same solution to a problem - but can it inform future flight? "We think it might help us to solve some problems regarding how to build better turbine blades in future," says Dickinson.

A big comeback for a little switch
Credit: College of Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University
Electrical switches, mechanical devices that make and break the connection in an electric circuit, are used everywhere. They turn on and off our lights, dishwashers, and dryers. In circuit breakers, they interrupt dangerous levels of current. A different type of switch, in solid state form, is at the core of the digital logic that underlies computer technology. While these devices are in fact transistors that can operate as amplifiers like in a radio, in digital logic they act as switches to hold an "on" or "off" state, also known as "1" or "0."
Digital switch technology has had such a transformational impact on society that its benefits transcend economists' ability to quantify its value. Without transistor technology, we wouldn't have computers, the internet, digital cameras, smart phones, or monitoring devices for vital signs or poisonous gases.
Wall light switches are the same size and have been manufactured in the same way as they were 50 years ago. But, solid state switches have shrunk by a factor of one million over the same time period, allowing billions of them to be used on computer chips.
Although solid state switches are extremely reliable, they can't get much smaller. And, they tend to leak current, even when they are supposed to be "off." Consequently, energy efficiency has decreased as solid state switches have gotten smaller. Because digital logic is so ubiquitous, a huge amount of energy is being wasted.
A possible solution to this problem is to go back to a mechanical switch, in which a gap physically opens so that there is no leakage of current. However, mechanical switches are still about 10,000 times bigger than transistors, even when similar manufacturing processes as those of solid state batteries are used. Also problematic is their tendency to be much less reliable than solid state switches.
Researchers Maarten de Boer and Gianluca Piazza in Carnegie Mellon University's College of Engineering are investigating how to overcome these challenges to develop reliable, nanoscale mechanical switches, also called nanorelays. Their work has been funded by a $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation's Leading Engineering for America's Prosperity, Health, and Infrastructure (LEAP-HI) program.
The LEAP-HI program challenges the engineering research community to take a leadership role in addressing demanding, urgent, and consequential challenges for advancing America's prosperity, health, and infrastructure.
Because the problem is so complex, the researchers are breaking down the project into separate components. Piazza, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, is working on developing mechanical switches as small as modern solid state switches.
"Our goal is to build mechanical switches that are the size of a DNA molecule," Piazza said. "To do so, we are using a solid state material that, when heated, undergoes a phase transformation and expands by 10%. That is approximately the same volume change that occurs when water freezes. This transformation results in enormous forces and sufficiently large displacements to bridge nanometer-scale gaps and form good electrical contacts as in wall light switches."
De Boer, a professor of mechanical engineering, will focus on improving the switches' reliability. He is collaborating with the University of Pennsylvania's Robert Carpick who has expertise in examining nanometer-scale point contact behavior and the City University of Hong Kong's David Srolovitz, an expert in materials theory.
"Although simple in concept, the physics in a mechanical switch interface is complex, and interdisciplinary challenges must be addressed," de Boer said. "Due to a small degree of surface roughness, the mechanical stress levels at the contacting surfaces are near the limit of what materials can tolerate."
"Hydrocarbons from the atmosphere can accumulate at the interface and increase electrical resistance," he added. "The surfaces can become sticky and the switch may no longer open. Solid state switches circumvent these problems but now are reaching their own limits, so the mechanical switch is now back in play. We will investigate conducting oxide materials as a way to address the issues."
De Boer and Piazza are optimistic about an important, preliminary result where they demonstrated a scalable device architecture at the microscale. They presented the operation of this Phase Change NEMS Relay.
(PCNR) device at the IEEE 65th International Electron Devices Meeting in December, 2019.
The next steps are to extend this architecture to the nanoscale and to increase the cycle counts. If successful, the team expects the results to impact a range of electronic devices used for data storage, computing, and the Internet of Things.
"Our hope is that nanorelays can complement and enhance solid-state switches, which are now manufactured by some of the most advanced techniques known to society," de Boer said. "We look forward to facing the challenges with a great team."
The team has also earned funding from Carnegie Mellon's Kavči?-Moura Endowment Fund.

Mediterranean diet cuts heart disease risk says new research
What's your heart age?
Watch: What is the Mediterranean diet?
Mediterranean diet cuts heart disease risk, says new research
29 September 2016 BHF Press Office
Category: Survival and support
A new study has shown a Mediterranean diet can cut people's risk of cardiovascular disease, supporting previous research on the topic.
The study, the first of its kind carried out in a UK population and published in BMC Medicine, found people with greater adherence to a Mediterranean-type diet had 6 to 16 per cent lower risk of future cardiovascular disease compared to individuals who had poor adherence.
The Mediterranean diet is typically high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and olive oil, while low in red meats and moderate in dairy, fish and poultry.
Supporting previous research
Responding to the University of Cambridge study, our Dietitian Tracy Parker, said: "This large study adds to the significant body of evidence showing that eating a Mediterranean-style diet can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.
"For those wanting to follow a Mediterranean diet, the Government's healthy eating advice set out in its 'Eatwell Guide' is similar and shows how much you should eat of each food groups to have a healthy balanced diet. This includes eating plenty of starchy foods, such as bread and pasta, plenty of fruit and vegetables, eating some fish, less meat, and choosing products made from vegetable and plant oils, such as olive oil."
"However, eating healthily isn't enough on its own. Importantly, the researchers found that those with high adherence to the diet were less likely to be smokers and more likely to be physically active – both important independent factors in reducing a person's risk of cardiovascular disease."
Learn your heart age
The findings are published on World Heart Day, which we're marking with the launch of our new Heart Age Tool in partnership with Public Health England and NHS Choices.
The new innovative tool, developed in part by BHF Professor John Deanfield, helps people find out their 'heart age' compared to their chronological age by assessing their risk of cardiovascular disease based on their lifestyle, cholesterol and blood pressure.
Research has shown that telling people their heart age, and the steps they can take to lower it, is an effective way of motivating people to change their behaviour with the potential for long-term improvements in heart health.
