The rugged construction and simple, innovative design of SeedMaster toolbars (TXB) delivers bulletproof performance in the field. From our massive 80-, 90-, and 100-foot drills—the largest in North America—to our narrow-folding Compact-in-Transport (CT) models, growers know they can trust SeedMaster to get the job done right, every time.
SeedMaster is the leader in large-scale air drills up to 100 feet wide, providing huge economies of size. Our industry-leading toolbars save time, fuel, and labour by seeding more acres per pass.
But smaller farms can benefit from SeedMaster technology, too. Our range of toolbars starts at a minimum width of 20 feet and a wide variety of UltraPro™ on-frame tank options and pull-behind Nova™ carts.
The secret behind our Compact-in-Transport (CT) line of narrow-folding toolbars and our massive 90-foot and 100-foot air drills is our unique, groundbreaking M-Fold design.
Our simple and fast-folding M-Fold, combined with SeedMaster's patented Active Wing Brace™, allows us to build the biggest drills in North America. We have a proven track record in the field with massive 70- to 100-foot-wide drills that fold to transport widths of about 19 to 26 feet.
The M-Fold is also a pivotal feature on our CT drills, available in widths up to 80 feet that fold to a maximum width of 19 feet for transport, narrow enough to go almost anywhere.
Our M-Fold is far less complex than narrow, back-folding drills that require extra parts for folding and are more prone to breakage. The M-Fold features the same folding mechanism used on all SeedMaster frames. Its simple design keeps our frames economical and delivers the rugged strength that SeedMaster is known for.
All SeedMaster toolbars are designed to provide you with long-lasting, reliable performance with added convenience and safety. SeedMaster toolbars are available in many different configurations, and have flexible, on-frame mounting options for seed, granular fertilizer, NH3 or liquid tanks. Plus, they partner seamlessly with the liquid Sulky cart or any other liquid cart on the market.
For when it comes time to duck under low-hanging obstacles, SeedMaster designed the Matrix™ hydraulic block, available on the 50-foot 3-plex and all toolbars over 60 feet wide. It's an advanced system that, among other things, lets farmers partially unfold each wing to lower its transport height to pass safely under power lines and overpasses.
All SeedMaster frame and opener components are blasted to bare metal to ensure flawless powder coat paint adhesion for a durable, anti-corrosive finish that won't crack, chip, or peel.
SeedMaster drills are low maintenance and well thought out for your safety and convenience. We use double-braided, ISO Certified hydraulic hoses that are reinforced with two walls of braided steel for the utmost in strength and security.
Standard on all toolbars are safety lights and a hitch safety chain for your safety and convenience during transportation.
This patented SeedMaster technology prevents frame flex and eliminates wing stress on frames 48 feet or wider. The Active Wing Brace™ reinforces the proven strength of SeedMaster drills by gently reducing wing stress.
SeedMaster toolbars offer a bulletproof, industry-leading frame with rugged construction to handle almost any load. Standard on our toolbars are 6 x 4 inch ranks—unlike many other toolbars with 4 x 4 inch frames—ensuring lasting durability.
Our steel 8 x 6 inch rear and 8 x 4 main frame beams easily carry the weight of our on-board and tow-behind tanks without any impact on the uniform depth control of our individual row openers.
The SeedMaster TruLine™ Drill design provides a skew-neutral frame by arranging half the openers in a left-hand configuration and half in a right-hand configuration. TruLine means seed and fertilizer rows track straight for more accurate placement and separation. With options like Smart Hitch™ or third-party RTK guidance, TruLine helps achieve perfect inter-row seeding.
SeedMaster toolbars were designed to meet the needs of many different farm requirements. Bolt-together frame joints are much stronger than welded joints, for exceptional reliability and performance. You can even self-assemble TXB (toolbar only) models on farm to save on shipping and assembly costs.
The bolt-together frame allows for adjustable row spacing and drill widths on select frame styles.
Standard on the main frame and wing wheels are single 12.5L 15 tires. Both can be upgraded depending on the requirements for on-board tanks or cart choices.
Toolbars over 50 feet come standard with 380/65R 16.5 tires on the main frame and dual 12.5L 15 tires.
Organizes all the hoses in a clean and efficient manner and streamlines the toolbar.
Equal length primaries have equal back pressure to improve meter-to-meter uniformity and reduce fertilizer caking in the tank.
Higher product-moving capacity with smoothly formed tubes greatly reduces the risk of plugging.
Uniform start/stop of product to improve Overlap Control savings.
A new Tunable Tower™ located within the distribution manifold is now standard on all Nova Ready SeedMaster toolbars. Working in conjunction with the XeedSystem, product flow through each run can be identified in real time. The Tunable Tower can be adjusted to balance product distribution between rows down to about 10%. That's 5% below or above the target rate.
SeedMaster testing on industry manifolds found that row-to-row variance is between 20 to 23%, meaning product distribution could be 10% above or below the targeted rate.
Tunable Towers work in conjunction with the XeedSystem, a precision seeding platform, which has the ability to measure product quantity flow through each run.
All SeedMaster toolbars are built ready for valuable options to make your seeding day even more productive. From better agronomics to helping keep you from getting bogged down, our industry-leading options let you pick what is right for your farm.
Exclusive to SeedMaster, our Lift Kit™ redistributes forces on your drill to lighten the front end for superb floatability. It significantly reduces stress on your hitch and drill frame when pulling through mud.
Upgrade to dual flotation caster wheels on the main frame for excellent flotation in soft or muddy fields. Dual 380-65R 16.5 tires.
Optional dual front wing caster tires can also be added to SeedMaster toolbars for increased flotation. Dual 12.5L 15 tires.
Rear wing wheels can be upgraded to a castering wheel that pivots easily without dragging your rear wheel when making tight turns.
All drills are built ready to add our leading-edge, patented Smart Hitch™ technology for easy inter-row seeding, a superior seedbed and higher yields. While many farmers still use the Smart Hitch to keep openers between the rows because it is such a simple, reliable tool, a growing number of farmers are using RTK GPS to do the job.
There are a lot of decisions to make when choosing new equipment and matching toolbars with air carts is an important one. The Nova Ready TXB is for farmers looking for a new toolbar with SeedMaster's precision opener system and equipped with many of the components required to facilitate the addition of a Nova air cart at a later date.
The Nova Ready SXX 345 toolbar is perfect for farmers who want the precise, gentle product handling of a 340-bu UltraPr on-frame tank, with their sights set on replacing their air cart with a SeedMaster Nova.
Additionally, Nova Ready SXX 345 toolbar can be upgraded with a factory-installed 20-bushel front-mounted UltraPro tank.
The TXB is for growers wanting to upgrade to precise seeding technology with SeedMaster's revolutionary opener and toolbar system, but have their own air cart and air delivery system.
The SXX 345 toolbar is the perfect match for farmers wanting to upgrade to SeedMaster's precision toolbar and opener system with an UltraPro 340-bushel on-frame grain tank, but have their own air cart and delivery system. The UltraPro on-frame tank and distribution system provides accurate seedrow specific metering.
Additionally, the SXX 345 toolbar can be upgraded with a factory-installed 20-bushel front-mounted UltraPro tank with UltraPro canola metering.
Custom SPEC™ (SeedMaster Preferred Equipment Configuration) is a long-standing SeedMaster tradition of offering multiple configurations of toolbar sizes, opener spacings and on-board seed, granular and liquid fertilizer options.
Many of these custom configurations are already developed so pricing premiums are not added on for existing designs, allowing you to build your seeding system to meet your farm's unique seeding needs.
The SeedMaster SXG (Seed X Granular) toolbar and on-frame tank systems provide flexibility to match your seed and fertilizer requirements with SeedMaster's legendary toolbar and opener system. From SeedMaster's 20-bushel UltraPro tank—ideal for accurate metering of canola and other small seeds and granular inoculants—to the massive dual 300-bushel seed and fertilizer tanks, there is an on-frame tank combination for almost every farm.
The SXG series of UltraPro on-frame, rear-mounted tanks provides big capacity and big capabilities. The advanced metering system can meter seed from two to 200 lbs/ac and can meter fertilizer up to 350 lbs/ac on machines up to 100 feet wide at 5 mph without plugging.
The metering system comes with three crop-specific rollers, including an UltraPro roller for precise canola metering, a black roller for pea/lentil/bean and a grey roller for cereals. The SXG series is available in systems with up to 80 seed runs, and is compatible with the liquid Sulky cart system or any other liquid or granular fertilizer caddy.
Rear-mounted UltraPro on-frame tanks can be matched to toolbar size for reduced fill times and optimum seeding efficiency. Additionally, a 20-bushel UltraPro tank can be added on as a front-mount tank, for even more flexibility when seeding canola.
For farmers looking to increase their air cart fertilizer capacity, SeedMaster's SXX (seed only) UltraPro on-frame tanks free up air cart tanks for fertilizer by putting a large capacity seed tank on the toolbar.

Elon Musk surpasses Jeff Bezos to become world's richest person
Written by Siddhant Pandey
Jan 07, 2021, 10:20 pm 2 min read
Tesla Inc. and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has surpassed Amazon boss Jeff Bezos to become the world's richest person, Bloomberg reported on Thursday. Reportedly, a 4.8% rally in Tesla's share price boosted Musk's fortune past Bezos's on the Bloomberg's Billionaires Index, a ranking of the world's 500 wealthiest people. Musk is a rival to Bezos—the owner of Blue Origin LLC—in the private space race.
Musk's net worth stands at $188.5 billion
At 8:45 pm in New Delhi, Musk's net worth stood at $188.5 billion, $1.5 billion more than Bezos. Notably, Musk had only just surpassed Microsoft's Bill Gates—formerly the world's richest person—in November last year to become the second-richest person in the world. Reacting to the news, Musk said in a tweet, "How strange." In another tweet, he wrote, "Well, back to work..."

How strange
Over past year, Musk's wealth has surged $150 billion
Over the past year, the billionaire entrepreneur's net worth has grown by more than $150 billion in what is possibly the fastest accumulations of wealth in the world's history. Tesla's share price has surged 743% last year due to consistent profits, inclusion in the S&P 500 Index, and enthusiasm from Wall Street and retail investors alike, Bloomberg reported.
China's bottled water king also climbs billionaires ranking
The Bloomberg Billionaires Index has been upended by extraordinary rallies. China's Zhong Shanshan has now surpassed Warren Buffett to become the world's sixth-richest person after shares of his bottled-water company surged. Last week, Zhong had replaced Reliance Industries chairperson Mukesh Ambani to become Asia's richest person. The world's 500 richest added a record $1.8 trillion to their combined wealth last year.

TREATING RADIATION SICKNESS / EXPOSURE
FROM: www.healingcancernaturally.com/chelating-ionizing-radiation.html
Macrobiotic diet against radiation sickness
Barbara Brennan writes in her classic Light Emerging, "If you are having any kind of radiation treatments, consider going macrobiotic. According to Michio and Aveline Kushi, macrobiotics is very effective in curing radiation sickness. In his book Macrobiotic Diet, Michio Kushi states: 'At the time of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki in 1945, Tatsuichiro Akizuki, M.D., was director of the Department of Internal Medicine at St. Francis Hospital in Nagasaki. Most patients in the hospital, located one mile from the center of the blast, survived the initial effects of the bomb, but soon after came down with symptoms of radiation sickness from the radioactivity that had been released. Dr. Akizuki fed his staff and patients a strict macrobiotic diet of brown rice, miso* and tamari soy sauce soup, wakame and other sea vegetables , Hokkaido pumpkin, and sea salt and prohibited the consumption of sugar and sweets. As a result, he saved everyone in his hospital, while many other survivors in the city perished from radiation sickness.'"
* miso: paste made from fermented soya beans and barley or rice malt, used in Japanese/macrobiotic cookery
Compare On Macrobiotics, Seaweed for important hints re purchasing quality seaweed and Modifilan.
Additional note by Healing Cancer Naturally:
If you follow Dr. Johanna Budwig's healing diet & protocol (which reportedly has also helped heal heavily irradiated (and "chemotherapied") cancer patients formerly considered terminal and written off as beyond hope, see Budwig Testimonials), I would advise integrating the above-listed food items featuring prominently in the macrobiotic diet, such as seaweed, organic brown rice, miso soup etc. While leaving out or strongly curtailing honey and sweet fruit which are not permitted or heavily restricted in macrobiotics. Make sure to use truly organically grown foods: whole-grain rice is particularly laden with pesticide and similar toxic residues.
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) baths (testimonial)
"If you were near Chernobyl or if you had an X-rays or radiation treatments for cancer, my radionics practitioner said that you can soak your body in baking soda baths to help pull out the radiation from your body. If you look all over the web, there is talk about patients who have had mouth cancer who were given radiation treatments to get rid of the cancer, and then told to gargle with baking soda mixed in water."
Tip: If you look for online sellers of baking soda, you might pay a fraction for it as compared to buying in a store or pharmacy as long as you buy larger amounts (which you will need if you plan on bathing regularly). A friend bought it very cheaply at Ebay but there are bound to be similar venues where online merchants offer inexpensive baking soda.
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) rinses
"The most effective measure to treat RT-induced mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer is frequent oral rinsing with a sodium bicarbonate rinse, to reduce the amount of oral microbial flora." (Oncol Nurs Forum. 2002 Aug;29[7]:1063-80. A research review of the current treatments for radiation-induced oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer. Shih A, Miaskowski C, Dodd MJ, Stotts NA, MacPhail)
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) plus sea salt baths
Similarly to the above, Barbara Brennan recommends in her classic Light Emerging to take 20-minute baking soda cum sea salt baths (mixing half a pound of salt and half a pound of baking soda) to drain the body of DOR (deadly orgone energy as described by Dr. Wilhelm Reich) etc. Since such baths are "energy draining", she advises to be careful when getting up from them (circulation) and lie naked in the sun afterwards to recharge one's battery. I would add the salt when the bathtub is somewhat filled already to avoid possible damage to any metal parts.

Epsom salts are a cheap white powder made of crystals of hydrated magnesium sulfate (chemical formula MgSO4 7H2O) which is used as a purgative etc. Any pharmacy or drug store should carry it. Use in baths. Epsom salts baths were part of this "terminal" colon cancer victor's protocol.
Zeolites (a family of naturally occurring minerals, also produced in synthetic form) have been used to clean up water contaminated with radioactivity and similar pollutions and apparently also successfully applied to chelate various environmental and other toxins from the human body.

THANKS to KEM for this:
Dr is a naturopath...please check on your supplies !
From: Kelly Marie Fitzpatrick <drkmfitzpatrick@hotmail.com>
Date: March 13, 2011 9:29:35 PM PDT
Hello Dr. Kelly Clients. I received this information just now from a colleague in Ashland.
There is an anticipated wind current radiaoactive fallout that is suppose to hit Oregon
Sometime this week (maybe as soon as tomorrow) I recommend taking sea kelp powder
- 1 - 2 tsp daily for several days - I don't know when this would blow over or not have an
Affect on us. We are always exposed to some element of radiation fall out from the past
Years of nuclear testing - but this is a more recent potential exposure. I will be taking
300-600 mg of mixed seaweeds for the next 2-4 weeks. Email or call with questions.
The thyroid gland takes up radioactive iodine from the nuclear system. The potassium iodine
Protects the thyroid. The seaweed is high in elemental nutrients and chelates radioactive
materials. Warm regards, Dr Kelly
I am forwarding this information from the FDA and CDC on the safe use of potassium
Iodide in a nuclear emergency.
"Adults: Adults older than 40 years should not take KI unless public health or emergency
Management officials say that contamination with a very large dose of radioactive iodine
is expected. Adults older than 40 years have the lowest chance of developing thyroid cancer
Or thyroid injury after contamination with radioactive iodine. They also have a greater
Chance of having allergic reactions to KI.
"How often should I take KI?
"A single dose of KI protects the thyroid gland for 24 hours. A one-time dose at the
Levels recommended in this fact sheet is usually all that is needed to protect the thyroid
Gland. In some cases, radioactive iodine might be in the environment for more than
24 hours. If that happens, local emergency management or public health officials may
Tell you to take one dose of KI every 24 hours for a few days. You should do this only on
The advice of emergency management officials, public health officials, or your doctor.
Avoid repeat dosing with KI for pregnant and breastfeeding women and newborn infants.
Those individuals may need to be evacuated until levels of radioactive iodine in the
environment fall. "
CDC Radiation Emergencies | Potassium Iodide (KI)
What is Potassium Iodide (KI)?
Potassium iodide (also called KI) is a salt of stable (not radioactive) iodine. Stable iodine
Is an important chemical needed by the body to make thyroid hormones. Most of the
Stable iodine in our bodies comes from the food we eat. KI is stable iodine in a medicine
Form. This fact sheet from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gives
You some basic information about KI. It explains what you should think about before
you or a family member takes KI.
What does KI do?
Following a radiological or nuclear event, radioactive iodine may be released into the air
And then be breathed into the lungs. Radioactive iodine may also contaminate the local
Food supply and get into the body through food or through drink. When radioactive
Materials get into the body through breathing, eating, or drinking, we say that "</radiation/contamination.asp>internal contamination" has occurred. In the case of
Internal contamination with radioactive iodine, the thyroid gland quickly absorbs this
Chemical. Radioactive iodine absorbed by the thyroid can then injure the gland. Because
Non-radioactive KI acts to block radioactive iodine from being taken into the thyroid gland,
It can help protect this gland from injury.
What KI cannot do
Knowing what KI cannot do is also important. KI cannot prevent radioactive iodine
From entering the body. KI can protect only the thyroid from radioactive iodine, not
Other parts of the body. KI cannot reverse the health effects caused by radioactive
Iodine once damage to the thyroid has occurred. KI cannot protect the body from
Radioactive elements other than radioactive iodine-if radioactive iodine is not present,
Taking KI is not protective.
How does KI work?
The thyroid gland cannot tell the difference between stable and radioactive iodine
And will absorb both. KI works by blocking radioactive iodine from entering the thyroid.
When a person takes KI, the stable iodine in the medicine gets absorbed by the thyroid.
Because KI contains so much stable iodine, the thyroid gland becomes "full" and cannot
Absorb any more iodine-either stable or radioactive-for the next 24 hours.
Iodized table salt also contains iodine; iodized table salt contains enough iodine to keep
Most people healthy under normal conditions. However, table salt does not contain enough
Iodine to block radioactive iodine from getting into your thyroid gland. You should not
Use table salt as a substitute for KI.
How well does KI work?
Knowing that KI may not give a person 100% protection against radioactive iodine is
Important. How well KI blocks radioactive iodine depends on how much time passes
Between contamination with radioactive iodine and the taking of KI (the sooner a person
Takes KI, the better), how fast KI is absorbed into the blood, and
the total amount of radioactive iodine to which a person is exposed.
Who should take KI?
The thyroid glands of a fetus and of an infant are most at risk of injury from radioactive
Iodine. Young children and people with low stores of iodine in their thyroid are also at
Risk of thyroid injury.
Infants (including breast-fed infants): Infants need to be given the recommended dosage
Of KI for babies (<#howmuchki>see How much KI should I take?). The amount of KI that
Gets into breast milk is not enough to protect breast-fed infants from exposure to
Radioactive iodine. The proper dose of KI given to a nursing infant will help protect it
From radioactive iodine that it breathes in or drinks in breast milk.
Children: The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that all
Children internally contaminated with (or likely to be internally contaminated with)
Radioactive iodine take KI, unless they have known allergies to iodine. Children from
Newborn to 18 years of age are the most sensitive to the potentially harmful effects of
Radioactive iodine.
Young Adults: The FDA recommends that young adults (between the ages of 18 and
40 years) internally contaminated with (or likely to be internally contaminated with)
Radioactive iodine take the recommended dose of KI. Young adults are less sensitive
To the effects of radioactive iodine than are children.
Pregnant Women: Because all forms of iodine cross the placenta, pregnant women should take KI to protect the growing fetus. However, pregnant women should take only one dose of KI following internal contamination with (or likely internal contamination with) radioactive iodine.
Breastfeeding Women: Women who are breastfeeding should take only one dose
Of KI if they have been internally contaminated with (or are likely to be internally
contaminated with) radioactive iodine. Because radioactive iodine quickly gets into
Breast milk, CDC recommends that women internally contaminated with (or are likely
To be internally contaminated with) radioactive iodine stop breastfeeding and feed
Their child baby formula or other food if it is available. If breast milk is the only
food available for an infant, nursing should continue.
Adults: Adults older than 40 years should not take KI unless public health or
Emergency management officials say that contamination with a very large dose of
Radioactive iodine is expected. Adults older than 40 years have the lowest chance
Of developing thyroid cancer or thyroid injury after contamination with radioactive
iodine. They also have a greater chance of having allergic reactions to KI.
When should I take KI?
After a radiologic or nuclear event, local public health or emergency management
Officials will tell the public if KI or other protective actions are needed. For example,
Public health officials may advise you to remain in your home, school, or place of work
(this is known as "shelter-in-place") or to evacuate. You may also be told not to eat
Some foods and not to drink some beverages until a safe supply can be brought in
From outside the affected area. Following the instructions given to you by these
Authorities can lower the amount of radioactive iodine that enters your body and
lower the risk of serious injury to your thyroid gland.
How much KI should I take?
The FDA has approved two different forms of KI-tablets and liquid-that people can
Take by mouth after a nuclear radiation emergency. Tablets come in two strengths,
130 milligram (mg) and 65 mg. The tablets are scored so they may be cut into smaller
Pieces for lower doses. Each milliliter (mL) of the oral liquid solution contains 65 mg
Of KI. According to the FDA, the following doses are appropriate to take after
Internal contamination with (or likely internal contamination with) radioactive iodine:
Adults should take 130 mg (one 130 mg tablet OR two 65 mg tablets OR two mL of
Solution). Women who are breastfeeding should take the adult dose of 130 mg.
Children between 3 and 18 years of age should take 65 mg (one 65 mg tablet OR 1 mL
Of solution). Children who are adult size (greater than or equal to 150 pounds) should
Take the full adult dose, regardless of their age.
Infants and children between 1 month and 3 years of age should take 32 mg ( of a 65 mg
Tablet OR mL of solution). This dose is for both nursing and non-nursing infants and
Newborns from birth to 1 month of age should be given 16 mg ( of a 65 mg tablet or mL
Of solution). This dose is for both nursing and non-nursing newborn infants.
How often should I take KI?
A single dose of KI protects the thyroid gland for 24 hours. A one-time dose at
The levels recommended in this fact sheet is usually all that is needed to protect
The thyroid gland. In some cases, radioactive iodine might be in the environment for
More than 24 hours. If that happens, local emergency management or public health
Officials may tell you to take one dose of KI every 24 hours for a few days. You
should do this only on the advice of emergency management officials, public health
Officials, or your doctor. Avoid repeat dosing with KI for pregnant and breastfeeding
Women and newborn infants. Those individuals may need to be evacuated until levels
Of radioactive iodine in the environment fall.
Taking a higher dose of KI, or taking KI more often than recommended, does not offer more protection and can cause severe illness or death.
Medical conditions that may make it harmful to take KI
Taking KI may be harmful for some people because of the high levels of iodine in this medicine. You should not take KI if
· you know you are allergic to iodine (If you are unsure about this, consult your doctor. A seafood or shellfish allergy does not necessarily mean that you are allergic to iodine.) or
· you have certain skin disorders (such as dermatitis herpetiformis or urticaria vasculitis).
People with thyroid disease (for example, multinodular goiter, Graves' disease, or autoimmune thyroiditis) may be treated with KI. This should happen under careful supervision of a doctor, especially if dosing lasts for more than a few days.
In all cases, talk to your doctor if you are not sure whether to take KI.
What are the possible risks and side effects of KI?
When public health or emergency management officials tell the public to take KI following a radiologic or nuclear event, the benefits of taking this drug outweigh the risks. This is true for all age groups. Some general side effects caused by KI may include intestinal upset, allergic reactions (possibly severe), rashes, and inflammation of the salivary glands.
When taken as recommended, KI causes only rare adverse health effects that specifically involve the thyroid gland. In general, you are more likely to have an adverse health effect involving the thyroid gland if you
take a higher than recommended dose of KI,
take the drug for several days, or
have pre-existing thyroid disease.
Newborn infants (less than 1 month old) who receive more than one dose of KI are at particular risk for developing a condition known as hypothyroidism (thyroid hormone levels that are too low). If not treated, hypothyroidism can cause brain damage. Infants who receive KI should have their thyroid hormone levels checked and monitored by a doctor. Avoid repeat dosing of KI to newborns.
Where can I get KI?
KI is available without a prescription. You should talk to your pharmacist to get KI and for directions about how to take it correctly. Your pharmacist can sell you KI brands that have been approved by the FDA.

Calendula officinalis: topical treatment of radiation burn scars
For skin irritations and severe burns
I have read that dried calendula flowers available from herbal and health stores or similar outlets as well as from the Internet make an excellent "tea" (to be applied topically) for severe burns and many skin outbreaks (get organic quality calendula if possible). While Weleda makes a Calendula Baby Cream, made with sweet almond oil, lanolin, beeswax, biodynamic calendula officinalis flower extract, perfume from natural essential oils and other ingredients, this may be less effective than this much less expensive herbal calendula tea:
Pour a cup of boiling water onto 1-2 teaspoonsful of the florets and leave to infuse for 10-15 minutes (other sources may state different infusion practices and times). Use externally as a lotion or ointment (also recommended for cuts, bruises, diaper rash, sore nipples, other burns & scalds). Let dry after application. Completely safe and apparently non-staining. Can also be taken as tea.
[Liquid Calendula for sale apparently is preserved with alcohol.]
Echinacea for radiation burns (testimonial)
"A friend of mine with stage 4 cancer used echinacea (probably standard dosage) which had been quietly suggested by her radiologist - and after whole body maximum lifetime dose radiation, never developed the radiation burns which seem to be so common. No lobster look. Might be worth looking into."
Aloe Vera plant gel for radiation burns
Reportedly, in 1959 the FDA "concluded from studies conducted by the Atomic Energy Commission at the radiation burn center at Los Alamos Laboratories in New Mexico that aloe gel did have a healing effect on skin tissue".
Suggestion: Use the fresh gel found inside the leaves - for instance cut the leaf lenghtwise and apply it on the burn with the gel side facing the skin.
Compare Aloe Vera - the medicine plant.
Epi-soothe cream for burns etc. (testimonial)
"I've been using Epi-soothe cream and it works wonderfully for rashes, burns, open sores etc.!" See azherbals.com/episoothe.php .
Kombucha tea (testimonial)
"I took kombucha all the way through my radiation (right over the stomach) and my doctor told me I was the only patient he'd had that never had nausea after being radiated in that area; it's wonderful for your stomach and intestines. It's much more potent and MUCH cheaper if you make it yourself. You just need a culture to start with. I make about 2 gallons at a time. It comes out to about 10 cents per bottle compared to $2-$3 in the stores."
Kombucha is a fermented or brewed beverage which is cultured for a number of days. Combined with tea, it contains active enzymes, probiotics (lactobacillus bacterium), amino acids, antioxidants, polyphenols and saccharomyces boulardi. Apparently very powerful with constipation (such as drinking half a glass 15 minutes before breakfast, with dosis increased as you get used to it.
Two kombucha brewing tips
Use green tea in your kombucha brew:
Apparently green tea contains tumor growth inhibiting factors (a polyphenol named EGCG) as well as other polyphenols (such as flavonoids) reputed to lower cholesterol, counteract free radicals, exhibit natural antibiotic characteristics or prevent blood clotting. Other ingredients include vitamin C, carotene, fluoride, zinc, selenium, manganese, potassium, niacin & folic acid.
Minimize or eradicate sugar:
The consumption of processed or refined sugar has been shown to be a risk factor in a number of health complaints including cancer. "Sugar is required in Kombucha to provide food for the yeast resident in the culture. Research and experimentation has shown that the best type of sugar to use is ordinary granulated white sugar, I.e. Sucrose. During fermentation the sucrose is broken down to its constituent parts, the simple sugars - glucose and fructose. Glucose is responsible for the formation of most of the organic acids with the exception of acetic acid, which derives from fructose. Glucose, which constitutes about 70% of sucrose, ferments far quicker than fructose and it is the latter which provides the residual sweetness in Kombucha.
If you prefer less sweetness in your Kombucha you can either a) extend the fermentation period by a few days, thus further acidifying the brew, or b) replace some of the sucrose with glucose (dextrose monohydrate), often found in home brewing shops described as brewing sugar. A 50/50 mix is a good start and will produce a beverage high in organic acids with minimal sweetness in a short time, 6 to 8 days. You will probably find the perfect mix by trial and error."
So it seems to make sure there is no processed sugar left in your kombucha, it would be advisable to let it ferment as long as possible or reasonable to make sure all the sugar has been consumed by the yeasts.

Dr. Johanna Budwig's health diet & protocol
& side effects from radiation treatments
Dr. Budwig expressly forbade cancer patients who followed her diet to treat their cancer, to concurrently use radiation and/or other cytostatic treatments (chemotherapy) arguing that any cytostatic treatments directly counteracted the "cytodynamic" effect of her diet, i.e. negated the effectiveness of the protocol (compare Budwig diet: what to avoid). Interestingly, Healing Cancer Naturally has come accross two reports where cancer patients did combine the Budwig Protocol with radiation treatments. Both reported that they did not have any side effects (or almost so) that the other patients were experiencing such as infections, pain, urination problems, etc. They attributed this to the Budwig protocol helping them go through the radiation treatments without a problem. So, similar to what I've occasionally seen reported from supplementation, the protocol might enhance the ability of one's system to alleviate some of the negative side effects associated with radiation by strengthening the body's resiliency and natural defenses. Compare High-dose vitamin C and chemotherapy/radiation side effects.
Calcium Bentonite Clay
Great (and possibly accurate) claims are being made for Calcium Bentonite Clay as a general detoxifier incl. as a very effective ionizing radiation chelator, to be used both internally and externally (in baths etc.): "You have Calcium Bentonite Clay as your ally. By using Calcium Bentonite Clay as a lifestyle practice, as described in the book Living Clay, [Nature's Own Miracle Cure, by Perry A. Smith], you will ... protect your body from the daily bombardment of radiation.... [R]adioactive material is of a positive charged ion. Calcium Bentonite Clay is a negative charged ion. Simply put, Calcium Bentonite Clay adsorbs and absorbs positive charged ions and you wash them off or pass them through your body.
(quoted from
survivingadirtybombattack.com/Download/Surviving%20A%20Dirty%20Bomb%20Atta ck.pdf
One variety of calcium bentonite clay is considered the purest and best (i.e. most effective) available. The price is high but varies greatly among providers (I've seen the cheapest offer so far at ebay at 20 pounds for 60US$).
Algae: Chlorella & Spirulina
Chlorella ... touted as the perfect whole food ... has been found to improve the immune system, ... detoxify the body ... protect against radiation. (from the Vitamin Bible by Earl Mindell)
"In Chernobyl ... spirulina was used to help save many children from radiation poisoning. By taking 5 grams of spirulina a day for 45 days, the Institute of Radiation Medicine in Minsk even proved that children on this protocol experienced enhanced immune systems, T-cell counts and reduced radioactivity. Israeli scientists have since treated Chernobyl children with doses of natural beta carotene from Dunaliella algae and proved that it helped normalize their blood chemistry. Chlorella algae, a known immune system builder and heavy metal detoxifier, has also shown radioprotective effects. Because they bind heavy metals, algae should therefore be consumed after exposure to any type of radioactive contamination." (from radiationdetox.com)
Note that chlorella and spirulina are rather expensive.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in high or mega-doses reportedly "alleviates most of the horrible side effects of radiation therapy" and is also an effective help with chemotherapy treatment. More
Modifilan, a concentrated brown seaweed extract and
reportedly a potent radioactive elements chelator
Excerpted from modifilan.com:
MODIFILAN was developed in Russia by a group of scientists who worked in the State Rehabilitation Institute, where victims of the Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe underwent treatment. The healing qualities of seaweed had been known for centuries [compare The importance of minerals and trace elements], so the Russian government instructed scientists to find an effective and powerful remedy for the radiation poisoning of that particular population. After trying out various forms of algae, one type yielded the best scientific data for this purpose. It was the brown seaweed known as Laminaria japonica, which grows wild in the northern Pacific Ocean off the coast of uninhabited islands far to the east of Russia, known as the Kurils.
One of the main qualities of Laminaria is its high content of sodium alginates, which are enhanced by the extraction process used to produce MODIFILAN. Alginates are the most effective organic elements that enable the human body to get rid of heavy metals and toxins. Not all "algae" have alginates; blue or green algae do not. According to scientific testing, only this brown seaweed does! The unique methods of extraction, as well as the quality of this seaweed, are key. MODIFILAN has about 50% of the highest quality alginates.
The low-temperature processing of MODIFILAN causes a sloughing off of the heavy outer fibers of the seaweed, while retaining the essential properties of the plant. This process further enhances its bioavailability, making the Laminaria more digestible. Forty pounds of raw Laminaria are required to make one pound of MODIFILAN. Eating 8 capsules of extract a day provides the same amount of good, organic micro- and macro-elements contained in an entire plate of this nutrient-rich seaweed.
And, it is not cooked. The oldest Japanese recipes of preparing seaweed tell us to eat seaweed raw, rather than cooked. Modern science affirms that an anti-cancer substance called Fucoidan, as well as beneficial polysaccharides, will break down if the seaweed is cooked. This was determined when studies were performed on the Japanese island of Okinawa, known for its lowest cancer death rate in Japan.
The Center for Preventive Medicine had 332 subjects in their study. For six months, 158 of the 332 subjects took Modifilan every day. After this time, those who had taken Modifilan had:
a. Significant shrinking of the lymph glands which had been enlarged
b. Improved digestive systems
c. Decrease in the incidence of bronchitis by 29.5%
d. No side effects
The Institute of Immunology carried out research on volunteers from the Chernobyl region, who were exposed to radiation and heavy metal poisoning.
The results of this research showed:
a. Modifilan is safe to use; is nontoxic and nonallergenic
b. Modifilan is very effective in preventing the absorption of and
promoting the excretion of radioactive elements (e.g.
strontium and radioactive iodine)
Some volunteers began growing back their hair which had fallen out due to exposure to radioactive elements.
Results of the research at Biophysical Institute are:
a. Modifilan is effective in preventing the absorption of and in
strontium, cesium, and radioactive iodine)
b. Modifilan works to protect the thyroid glands by decreasing
the accumulation of radioactive iodine. As a result of this
research, Modifilan was recommended both as a healing
and preventive food supplement.
The State Technical Medical Center concluded upon completion of their research that Modifilan is:
a. A safe food supplement
b. Recommended to increase lipid metabolism
c. Recommended to improve the function of the immune system
d. Safe to use and has no harmful effects on any bodily functions
or organs
At the Cardiovascular Center at the Sakhalin Hospital, patients were given up to ten grams of Modifilan every day for three months. The results showed:
a. Decrease of cholesterol by 26.5%
b. Decrease of B-lipoproteins by 25.1%
c. Decrease of triglycerides by 32.1%
No negative reactions were found in the kidneys, the liver and other organs. No side effects were found."
Since Modifilan is a commercial product, the usual "caveat emptor" is likely to apply. It may be as effective (or perhaps more effective) and a lot cheaper to buy and consume the raw brown Laminaria seaweed itself.
Enzyme Therapy
"Enzymes substantially reduce the occurrence of metastases and the recurrence of cancer. They make malignant tissues more sensitive to radiation, and at the same time, reduce pain and other side effects of radiation. When used in conjunction with surgery, they reduce postoperative pain and hemorrhage." (excerpted from alkalizeforhealth.net/cancerpain.htm)
Compare Biopsies can spread cancer.
Do a search for anti-radiation homeopathic remedies, "homeopathic remedy antagonists" etc. (there are both "drainage" and opposing formulas) that are said to work to remedy the harmful effects of ionizing and other radiation (radium, uranium, plutonium).

Up for sale is our Chevy Tahoe truck. Owned for the last 7 years. For sale as my dad's passed away. 100,00kms on the clock. 5.7litre v8 petrol engine.
It's been sat for the last 4 years not doing a lot. We did get it Mot'd last year with the intention of selling it but didn't particularly want to part with it at the time.
Thus it has no mot or tax.
It will need some tlc due to standing. It has a bit of a wheel wobble at 30mph. You can accelerate through this but obviously it wants to be addressed. Maybe tracking, maybe the tyres from sitting who knows. They are big tyres after all..
Great truck which I'd like to see get used and enjoyed as it looks ridiculous.
May consider a swap for a tractor or digger.
If you could call when making an offer that would be useful so I know it's genuine.
I put it needs tlc to cover myself. It just needs the wheel wobble sorted then it's ready for someone to enjoy.
It did start to run a bit rough at the begininning of the year when I went to move it and it stalled.
Basically it was just old fuel. Whilst i was at it I changed the spark plugs, fuel filter, the ht leads, distributor cap, rotor arm and cleaned out the carb. It also had a new radiator when we first bought it. It's in good proportion being the short wheel base model, the pictures don't do it justice.
I'm open to offers, so let me know what you're willing to pay. I've put on there what I'd like to see it make.
It's also had a new battery.

This paper draws on a narrative review of the literature, commissioned to support the Health Visitor Implementation Plan (DH, 2011a), and aimed at identifying messages about the knowledge, skills and abilities needed by health visitors to work within the current system of health care provision.
The scoping study and narrative review used three complementary approaches: a broad search, a structured search and a seminal paper search to identify empirical papers from the health visitor literature for review. The key inclusion criteria were messages of relevance for practice.
The analysis identified an 'orientation to practice' based on salutogenesis (health creation), human valuing (person-centred care) and viewing the person in situation (human ecology) as the aspirational core of health visitors' work. This was realised through home visiting, needs assessment and relationship formation at different levels of service provision. A wide range of knowledge, skills and abilities were required, including knowledge of health as a process and skills in engagement, building trust and making professional judgments. These are currently difficult to impart within a 45 week health visitor programme and are facilitated through ad hoc post registration education and training. The international literature reported both similarities and differences between the working practices of health visitors in the UK and public health nurses worldwide. Challenges related to the education of each were identified.

Cutting Waste, Not Commercial Development, Will Save Teaneck
Regarding "World of Wings Rezoned," (November 12, 2015) by Elizabeth Kratz: Elie brought up the fact that Teaneck needs alternative revenue sources. I agree 100 percent, but we also need to lower expenses, and I suggest the following ways:
1) Healthcare waivers, if limited to $5,000 per employee, would save $400,000.
2) Council members receive an annual salary of $7,000 a year. In aggregate, that costs the town $49,000. However, in addition, the taxpayer pays $68,000 more for healthcare benefits (and increasing by 14 percent next year) and waivers for members of council ($29,000 each for Katz and Hameeduddin for healthcare and $10,000 for Parker for waiving healthcare). That's 43 percent more for benefits than salaries. I believe all members of council are equal, each with one vote and, as such, should get paid the same. Council meetings account for approximately 10-12 hours a month. Either all have benefits or none. I vote none as they all are employed and can get insurance elsewhere.
3) We pay about 20-25 employees a monthly travel allowance of $250. This costs the town approximately $6,000 a month. Based on the federal travel allowance of 57 cents per mile, that translates to 435 miles a month. There are about 16 work days a month (as most work four days a week, why not five?). That translates to 27 miles a day. If it takes 15 minutes to get there, a half hour stop, and 15 minutes back. That would translate to six stops a day. How does any work get done? Teaneck is obviously overpaying. I guarantee if any employee traveled more than 435 miles in a month they would want more than the $250. Do the math! Cut waste.
4) Better negotiations, as salaries and benefits are out of hand. Employees get health care that costs $29,000 per employee and is increasing by 14-16 percent next year. They have $10 copays. And the Cadillac tax is coming. This is a major issue and the average cost for insurance per family is $18,000 per year.

Help Save a Fellow Jew From Cremation
This past Rosh Hashanah, Mr. Martin Mendelsohn went downstairs to the recreation room of Evergreen Court Home for Adults in Spring Valley, NY, to listen to the shofar. On Tuesday afternoon he passed away peacefully in his sleep. To date he has not been buried.
Martin Mendelsohn lived a simple life. A long-time accountant for the city of New York, he remained single his entire life, his only family a brother living on the West Coast. Martin lived out his retirement years in various adult homes, all glatt-kosher facilities with a shul on premises.
His brother Stephen demands that Martin be cremated. Mr. Chesky Schonberger, the owner of Evergreen Adult Homes and an Orthodox Jew, refuses to allow this abomination to occur. He has launched a legal battle that has thus far cost upwards of $30,000 and is poised to set a legal precedent which could have long-lasting ramifications for Orthodox Jewry across the United States, provided the necessary funds are raised to allow the fight to continue.
"I called the funeral home the moment I heard that Marty, who was my friend, had passed away. I was shocked and dismayed when the funeral owner told me the body was scheduled for cremation on Monday," he said.
Schonberger immediately contacted Martin's brother and after expressing his condolences, offered to pay for the expense of shipping the body to California as well as all expenses that would be incurred for a Jewish burial. The brother adamantly refused.
There was no swaying the brother and for Schonberger, no turning back. He consulted with Maran Hagaon Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky shlita, and was given the psak that this has the din of mes mitzvah and he should proceed "with all his abilities and strength." After speaking with Agudas Yisrael and Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel, as well as other rabbanim and leading daas Torah including Rav Yisroel Dovid Schlesinger, Schonberger retained the services of a lawyer who, though upfront about the slim chances of winning a stay, took up the case. He instructed Schonberger to collect any and all evidence that could help prove that Martin would have been opposed to being cremated based on his belief system.
On October 8, Mendelsohn appeared in Rockland County Supreme Court together with his lawyer. During questioning conducted by Beth Finkelstein, counsel for Schonberger, Mendelsohn admitted under oath that both his parents were buried according to Jewish law and that his brother, Martin, sat shiva for his father, lit memorial candles and covered the mirrors. "My brother and I argued. I wanted my father cremated and my brother said my father must have a burial."
Rabbi Binyomin Kelsen, Esq. of Teaneck, NJ, a musmach of Yeshiva University, was in court as the professional witness accepted by both sides. Judge Victor Alfredi asked numerous questions and concluded the proceedings with one pivotal inquiry: "In your expert opinion, having heard all this testimony, do you think Mr. Martin Mendelsohn would have wanted to be cremated?"
"One hundred percent not!" was Rabbi Kelson's adamant response.
As such, it would seem that the legal argument was successfully made that Mr. Stephen Mendelsohn is negating the law that the next of kin should adhere to the wishes of the deceased. However, ruling in favor of Schonberger would set into motion a hitherto unprecedented legal battle. Never before has someone with the legal status of "friend" successfully challenged a next of kin regarding burial of the deceased based on his/her wishes and religious beliefs. The judge succumbed to the pressure exerted by the defendant's lawyer and ruled against Schonberger.
But this battle cannot be fought without funding. Martin Mendelsohn awaits burial and it is up to us to step forward, join the fight and provide the money necessary to ensure that Martin be buried as he would have wished: as he lived—with dignity and love for the Jewish faith.
Please act now. Join forces with Chesky Schonberger, Isaac Leider, Chesed Shel Emes, and all of klal Yisrael and be a part of the ultimate chesed shel emes. Contribute generously so that Mordechai ben Reuven should be brought to kever Yisrael.
Please help the cause and visit this link to the GoFundMe campaign to cover the legal fees: www.gofund.me/fightcremation.

Can Kallah Classes Prevent Sexual Abuse Calamities?
The Halberstam incident serves as an unfortunate reminder to all of us that sexual predators do exist in our midsts. It is a terrible thing for all of us to confront and a terrible thought that you have to be so careful about who you trust with your children. So what can we do about it? How can we purge these people from our communities? Unfortunately there is not much. We can educate the public, educate our children but at the end of the day that is clearly not enough as the few times these situations arise it appears that only a small number of victims come forward leaving us to wonder whether there are more innocent children involved.
One commonality that these perpetrators share is their secrecy. That is we find out that their spouses knew nothing about their criminal conduct. They were so secretive about their commission of these heinous crimes that when the police or FBI show up at their door to arrest them we, the community, are left to deal with comforting the wife whose life was just shattered. Invariably, the wife was in the dark. Herein may lie the answer as to what further actions we may take in order to help prevent this calamity. Educate our women as to what constitutes a normal marital relationship on all levels including intimacy.
My suggestion is that the best time and place to do so is when a woman takes a Kallah class. These classes are often times one on one and always discuss the issues involved in the intimacy aspect of a marital relationship. Perhaps this is a good opportunity for someone who a woman trusts to guide her as to what a normal intimate relationship should be. In this way, our women can be on the lookout for abnormalities such as the lack of or infrequency of intimacy, the abnormality of keeping secrets from your spouse, etc. Furthermore, to encourage our women that if they experience such behavior from their husband that the husband should be confronted in order to help determine what, if any, the problem is. Maybe there is an underlying marital issue that the couple can work towards resolving or maybe there is more to it and our women will be more able to plot an appropriate course of action.
I am not saying that this is a cure all. But this may help our women spot this deviant behavior and act to stop it thereby taking away that sinking feeling when law enforcement knocks on the door to make an arrest for crimes of this nature and shatters their lives.

Progressive jackpots are immensely popular with both new and regular casino players alike, which is why these giants often present winnings that can reach well into the millions of dollars. Although no different than playing a regular casino game, progressive jackpots have no limitation in terms of the size of the jackpot on offer and are, as a result, just so much more rewarding to play. Many have won a progressive jackpot by way of a single bet, which shows that it really does pay to play progressive jackpots.
Progressive jackpots are games that are linked across multiple machines to create one giant accumulative jackpot in online casinos for real money no deposit. Each time someone plays a progressive jackpot, the jackpot increases by a small amount which then continues to grow until a lucky player manages to complete the required winning combination.
Each progressive jackpot game has a jackpot meter located at the top of the screen which indicates the current size of the jackpot. Like regular casino games, progressive jackpots too have intermediate prizes. These offer players multiple opportunities to win while you battle it out for the grand prize. Play progressive jackpots.
Progressive Slots are perhaps the most popular progressive jackpot games around. Because progressive slots are exactly like regular slots, these too require no skill and are just as fun to play. However, each progressive slot requires you to bet on the maximum number of lines in order to be eligible for the progressive jackpot. It is important to remember this rule as it would ultimately determine whether you have won the progressive jackpot, or not.
Apart from progressive slots and progressive video poker, our casino additionally has a number of other progressive table games on offer. These progressive jackpots are equally rewarding and offer you endless opportunities to strike it lucky. Progressive jackpots literally grow by the second, and will therefore have an even bigger jackpot each time you return to play.

Sailor makes four distress calls before leaving boat
Ocean Navigator April 30, 2018 January 26, 2022
In an apparent first for the Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue System (AMVER) a yachtsman off the coast of Mexico called in four ship visits before finally abandoning his boat.
In January, AMVER — a 60-year-old U.S. Coast Guard system that directs commercial ships to vessels in distress — processed four distress calls from a 76-year-old solo sailor with engine trouble on a journey from Cabo San Lucas to Los Angeles.
Coast Guard search and rescue personnel in Los Angeles received a notification in January from the Garmin/inReach Emergency Call Center that the sailor — on a 45-boat with no EPIRB — was disabled and adrift approximately 700 miles west of Cabo San Lucas. He requested a mechanic to help him repair the boat's engine.
Benjamin Strong, the civilian director of AMVER Maritime Relations, said that when no Coast Guard assets were available nearby to respond, the service turned to his system. The closest vessel was the 587-foot bulk carrier Indigo Lake, which was 340 miles from the sailboat. The captain of the Hong Kong-flagged ship agreed to divert and began heading for the location.
When Indigo Lake arrived, it rigged a safety net and pilot ladder and provided a lee for the disabled sailboat. The sailor, who was never identified publicly, declined to abandon his craft and instead requested help repairing his engine. The captain of Indigo Lake decided he could not safely put crew aboard the sailboat, and he was released by the Coast Guard to continue his journey after spending 32 hours on site.
The sailor reported to the Coast Guard that he would be able to sail to Los Angeles even though his boat's sails were tattered. AMVER personnel were still concerned and located the 646-foot Norwegian-flagged general cargo ship Star Gran. It agreed to divert.
Star Gran was able to secure lines to the sailboat and lower its chief engineer to troubleshoot the engine. Star Gran also brought the sailor on board, where he was given breakfast and was able to sleep and talk to the Coast Guard via satellite phone. He decided to continue his attempt to reach Los Angeles, and Star Gran was released by the Coast Guard after 14 hours assigned to the case.
The following day the sailor again contacted the Coast Guard, saying that while trying to tighten a belt, he had turned off the boat's engine and could not restart it. AMVER located the Greek-flagged containership Express Berlin and the captain agreed to divert to help.
Express Berlin put a team of engineering crewmembers on the sailboat to troubleshoot the engine and install new batteries. For the third time, the sailor refused to leave his vessel. Express Berlin was then released, only to be recalled several hours later when the sailor stated he now was ready to abandon ship. The sailor safely embarked the containership and was to remain on board until it reached its next port in Taiwan. Express Berlin spent 10 hours responding to the case.
Having to direct assistance to the same vessel four times "is unique in my experience" of running the system for 13 years, Strong said. Typically only one interaction is required.
Strong said that often a diverted ship will take the crew of the distressed vessel on board and abandon the craft because it's impractical to tow a small vessel behind a large ship for long distances. But if the sailor is not in life-threatening distress, he said the usual response is "let's get him fixed up and on his way. It's not uncommon for a commercial ship to provide food, water, batteries or fuel if a vessel is capable of getting underway. We can't force them off the boat."
In this case, Strong said, after the first interaction "things started to spiral (and go) terribly wrong."
More than 22,000 ships from hundreds of nations are enrolled in AMVER.

Schwul in Mazedonien - ein Leben im Verborgenen
By Gay pride skopje GrulovicKole Casule. Gay men, lesbians and other members of the LGBT community continue to face discrimination and hate attacks across the Balkans.
North Macedonia is among the last countries in the region to hold a Pride event. Several hundred gay and human rights activists marched through central Ksopje, dancing and waving a long, trademark rainbow flag.
The event was also attended by state officials sjopje Skopje-based diplomats. North Macedonia, which is awaiting a date lima peru start EU membership talks, must improve human and minority rights before it can join the bloc.

Streit um Schwulen-Parade in Serbien
It is a sunny morning in June. Mobile sound systems are ready to go, tens of thousands of people are gathering — a joyful, colourful crowd. Banners, flags, decorations, costumes, all ready to give the city a blast in the name of the highest value — freedom. Yes, gay pride skopje read it right, the first. The party crowd is there, from show business to club kids; the odd politician and business types mix with bikers, dreadlocks wearers, the techno crowd and the queens of the parade, wearing stunning, shiny and daring costumes: leather and lace, Moulin Rouge meets folklore chique, gay pride skopje, feather boas and trucker shirts, chitons and latex.
Suddenly, gay pride skopje, there is a commotion with the security people, a combined crew of Visit web page gay pride skopje, police and members of the two largest football fan clubs: the President, the Prime Minister, the speaker of parliament, party leaders gay pride skopje religious leaders are mingling discreetly with the crowd; no VIP block.
Today, they all are one. But, of course, this remains wishful thinking. It isand the people in North Macedonia still need convincing that a Pride parade is not harmful to their children but actually good for everybody. This is the fake liberal discourse I have been hearing a lot these days. It is not specific to North Macedonia; it is pretty much global.
But societies espousing European values are dealing with this, gay pride skopje. From the education system to the media, and from government policies to civil society, this attitude is changing. I gay pride skopje up in a conservative part of Germany and such parades https://sjmphotography.info/gay-sex-sauna.php have been unthinkable during my teens.
I happened to be home for the Christopher Street parade last year and it was amazing to see the crowds. Not all participating, but watching and partying on the sidewalks. Children were enjoying the goodies thrown at them from the trucks: candy and condoms. They knew very well what was what, because they are sexually educated.
If it is possible there, gay pride skopje, in the old homeland of Protestant fundamentalism, why not in Skopje? Would former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic have fallen had people demonstrated moderately? Would women today have voting rights had it not been for the scandalous suffragettes?
And then there are the voices of pure hate, which have been loud on social media since the announcement of the parade.
But one thing needs to be said: hate speech is a punishable act and it is the duty of the police and prosecution to act accordingly. That implies they know their duties and the rights of their citizens.
But do they? And this should be intolerable. It should be a clear signal that this has to change. It means also that the state has the duty to guarantee and safeguard those freedoms. This means more than fine speeches by politicians, gay pride skopje.
It means a lasting effort to change gay pride skopje attitude of the provincial culture of enraged petit bourgeois who will blame anyone for anything as long as it prevents them from taking a critical look at themselves.
It means a collective just click for source by gay pride skopje and civil society, gay pride skopje.
And civil society means political parties, sports clubs, religious communities, businesses and every single citizen. This final, new video gay sex think why the first Pride parade in Skopje is so important. From now on, it will be both a reminder and, hopefully, a flamboyant celebration.
Police have to be prepared, and their preventive work should have started a long time ago. All eyes will be on them, and I hope they will be part of the party.

I'm nested deep in a file tree, and I'd like to find which parent directory contains a file.
E.g. I'm in a set of nested Git repositories and want to find the .git directory controlling the files I'm currently at. I'd hope for something like find -searchup -iname ".git"
find "$path" -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 "$@"
# Note: if you want to ignore symlinks, use "$(realpath -s "$path"/..)"
...will print the names of all of some_dir's ancestors (including itself) up to / in which a file with the pattern is found.
When using readlink -f the above script will follow symlinks on the way up, as noted in the comments. You can use realpath -s instead, if you want to follow paths up by name ("/foo/bar" will go up to "foo" even if "bar" is a symlink) - however that requires installing realpath which isn't installed by default on most platforms.
will print out the top level directory of the current repository, if you are in one.
Keeps the use of sym-links.
For the specific case of a git repository, you can let git do the work for you.
A pathname component of the form (foo/)# matches a path consisting of zero or more directories matching the pattern foo. As a shorthand, **/ is equivalent to (*/)#.
Credits: Faux on #zsh for the initial suggestion of using (../)#.git(:h).
This version of findup supports "find" syntax, like @sinelaw's answer, but also support symlinks without needing realpath. It also supports an optional "stop at" feature, so this works: findup .:~ -name foo ... searches for foo without passing the home dir.
find  "$cur/"  -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 "$@"
I've found that working with symlinks kill some of the other options. Especially the git specific answers. I've halfway created my own favorite out of this original answer that's pretty effecient.
cd .. && upsearch "$1" "$origdir"
I'm using symlinks for my go projects because go wants source code in a certain location and I like to keep my projects under ~/projects. I create the project in $GOPATH/src and symlink them to ~/projects. So running git rev-parse --show-toplevel prints out the $GOPATH directory, not the ~/projects directory. This solution solves that problem.
I realize this is a very specific situation, but I think the solution is valuable.
Vincent Scheib's solution doesn't work for files that reside in the root directory.
The following version does, and also lets you pass the starting dir as the 1st argument.
[ -e "$path"/"$2" ] && echo "$path"/"$2"

Cirque du Soleil wanders to O.C.
The fantastic Cirque du Soleil production, which pays homage to the nomadic spirit, has found a temporary home in Costa Mesa -- a city reputed for its all-inclusive, live-and-let-live outlook. It is in that tradition that we say "welcome back" to the French-Canadian company and its host of talented performers and production team members, responsible for the dazzling creation, "Varekai." It is a bittersweet homecoming for some, as residents recall painfully loud memories of the 1997 production of "Quidam."
In a last-minute Valentine's Day frenzy? Worry not. Cirque du Soleil has come to your rescue, with a Sunday special: Buy one ticket to their spectacular "KOOZA" show at the Orange County Great Park in Irvine, and get the second one free; this offer is good for Valentine's Day only. For more information or tickets, visit cirquedusoleil.com and click on "Americas" and "USA." Sad but true ShopGirl by Lisa & Helen, a boutique at 69 E. 17th St. No. 4, Costa Mesa, is shuttering.
Christian Laveau laments the cinematic representation of Native Americans. In many Hollywood movies, they live in teepees on the periphery of modernity, ride horses, dress in swatches of animal skin and plumed headdresses, and are armed with spears and brute force. "It makes me sad, as we are true cultures that are still alive and deserve respect as any other," said the resident of Wendake, a reservation in northwest Quebec, Canada, about the cliches in popular culture. Laveau, 40, is one of three indigenous performers - the other two are from the United States - in Cirque du Soleil's production "Totem.
I must say the only time I felt embarrassed to be a Costa Mesan was when the Cirque du Soleil was banished from the Orange County Fairgrounds for being too loud. My pride came back when I saw the first ad for "Varekai." I surely hope that the residents of our wonderful town, who live near the fairgrounds, would open there collective eyes, hearts, minds and creative souls. And perhaps, for the short time that this world class gem is in our midst that they might, turn a genteel ear. DAVE RIGGLE Costa Mesa I definitely cannot see how the Cirque du Soleil performance could cause any problems.
It was a simple idea presented here last week, one meant to start a discussion about how to help make the Orange County Fair more family friendly. The reactions, however, exposed a tremendous amount of bitterness. To recap, the fair has been at its location for 50 years. During that time, attendance has risen dramatically, with the last 10 years showing an increase of 40%. In an effort to accommodate the growing throng, fair officials have expanded operating hours so much that the 2010 fair will last a month.
Marisa O'Neil Running away with the circus isn't what it used to be. Gone are the days of train cars packed with elephants, horses and bearded ladies, of performers living in rickety trailers, huddling over a glowing campfire at night. Performers for Cirque du Soleil, whose production "Varekai" is in town until March 7, live in corporate apartments. They don't have to wash down any livestock and are just as likely to come from a national athletic team as from a family of roving performers.
Tom Titus It's been far too long since Cirque du Soleil pitched its extraordinary tent in our neck of the woods, and its current incarnation on the Orange County Fairgrounds offers an eye-popping glimpse of some astonishing circus artisans. They may or may not speak English, but they're fluent in the universal language of showmanship. Now on its first leg of a North American tour, the new production -- entitled "Varekai," or "whenever" in the Romany language of the gypsies -- is billed as a tribute to the nomadic soul and to the spirit and art of the circus tradition.
. FOR THE RECORD: Contrary to what was reported in Friday?s The O.C. Bargainista shopping column about the Beverly Hills Mattress Co., at 435 E. 17th St. in Costa Mesa, the store is ?absolutely? staying in business, said owner Mark Trudell.. . In a last-minute Valentine?s Day frenzy? Worry not.

The gala launch of the Ancient Paths, Modern Voices festival of Chinese culture Wednesday night at South Coast Plaza featured a special appearance by Cirque du Soleil performers from the show "Ka." Artistic Director Marie-Helene Gagnon described the show as an Asian-inspired visual and auditory feast about two twins seeking to regain their thrones. It is currently presented at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. "I think it just underscores what an international destination South Coast Plaza is," said Debra Gunn Downing, South Coast Plaza's executive marketing director.

Tribble, a Corona del Mar resident, assured the man that, yes, he does have insurance.
Cirque du Soleil's blue and yellow big top, the Grand Chapiteau, will be pitched Wednesday at the Orange County Fairgrounds, in preparation for its upcoming production of "Corteo," premiering Nov. 8. The Grand Chapiteau is 66 feet tall, 167 feet in diameter, is supported by four 80-foot masts, requires approximately 80 workers to assist in the setup and will seat 2,700 in a climate-controlled environment. "Corteo," from the Italian, "cortege," meaning "ceremonious procession," depicts a clown as he envisions his own funeral, which takes place in a carnival atmosphere watched over by angels.
