Post-Carboniferous deposits of the Karst Dinarides were analysed in terms of their palaeomagnetic and rock magnetic properties in order to identify the best sections for comprehensive palaeomagnetic studies on geodynamic and palaeogeographic evolution of this mountain belt. A total of eighteen reconnaissance rock samples have been collected from the Permian red beds and limestones, and limestones of Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous and Eocene age, mainly from the Velebit Mt., part of the Dinaric orogenic belt finally uplifted in Oligocene–Miocene, and stretching NW–SE along the NE Adriatic coast. Experimental studies comprised identification of potential carriers of a natural remanent magnetization (NRM) by means of their properties of Curie temperature and coercivity accompanied by SEM and microprobe studies, demagnetization of standard palaeomagnetic specimens by means of alternating field and thermal cleaning, as well as measurement and analysis of magnetic susceptibility and its anisotropy. Haematite (in Permian red beds) and Ti-magnetite (in limestones) and sporadically goethite have been identified as remanence carriers. State of preservation, ascertained by SEM observations, suggests detrital origin of NRM in most of the samples. Characteristic NRM components (ChRM), both of high coercivity and unblocking temperatures, could be clearly identified in most of the specimens. These components show smeared distribution on the sphere and do not cluster around any known palaeomagnetic direction expected for the Velebit area from apparent polar wander paths, neither for Eurasia nor for Africa. This outcome suggests lack of overall remagnetization of the studied part of the Karst Dinarides after the last tectonic event and/or important contribution from tectonic rotations to the observed pattern of ChRM distribution.

Lawyers demand freedom for Turkey's Osman Kavala after year in prison
Ayla Jean Yackley October 31, 2018
Turkey's best-known public intellectual Osman Kavala has been held in pre-trial detention without even an indictment in what his lawyers believe constitutes "torture" and observers say is an attempt to stifle dissent.

Lawyers for Turkish civil society leader Osman Kavala, jailed a year ago on suspicion of involvement in a failed military coup, broke their silence on Wednesday to call for his release, saying the failure to indict him amounted to "torture."
Kavala's case has become another flashpoint in Turkey's troubled relationship with the West since President Recep Tayyip Erdogan began a far-reaching crackdown against his opponents and civil society in the wake of the military's attempt to seize power in 2016. More than 50,000 people, including politicians, journalists and rights activists, have been imprisoned.
Kavala, 61, has been held in solitary confinement without any formal indictment or even a deposition by the prosecutor, leaving his lawyers to speculate over what charges he might eventually face. He was formally arrested on suspicion that he supported four distinct "terrorist" groups and sought to topple Turkey's constitutional order and government.
"We do not know what he is accused of. His basic rights are being violated, and enduring this for a year now amounts to torture," lawyer Koksal Bayraktar told a news conference. "If there is rule of law in Turkey, then Kavala must be released and appear before a court once the crimes for which he was arrested have been articulated."
Kavala's defense team had previously kept a low profile, hoping that the Turkish legal process would work and to avoid making the case an international issue. However, officials in Europe have said Kavala's plight violates international judicial and human rights standards.
"His current arbitrary detention represents a further blow in the ongoing crackdown against Turkish civil society," Antonio Panzeri, chairman of the European Parliament's subcommittee on human rights, said this month. "The Turkish authorities need to ensure that the physical and psychological integrity of all human rights defenders are guaranteed, that the presumption of innocence is respected and that the justice system is independent."
In June, Kavala applied to the European Court of Human Rights, which agreed in August to expedite the case and is now waiting for the Turkish government to make its defense by Jan. 10.
Kavala's prolonged detention highlights the state of crisis in the Turkish judiciary, whose wheels have ground to a near halt after more than 4,500 judges and prosecutors were fired after the coup. Critics accuse the government of exerting political control over the justice system.
Erdogan himself singled Kavala out a week after his detention, deriding him as "Turkey's Soros." George Soros is a billionaire philanthropist targeted by right-wing extremists in the United States and eastern Europe. "They say he's an NGO representative … We see him behind efforts to funnel resources to obvious places," Erdogan told his ruling party in parliament.
The government has used lengthy pre-trial detention periods to suppress political dissent, said Howard Eissenstat, a professor at St. Lawrence University and senior nonresident fellow at the Project on Middle East Democracy. "It has been aimed particularly at journalists and political dissidents, allowing the government to silence those jailed and strike fear into those still working. It flies in the face of any right to a fair and speedy trial," he told Al-Monitor.
Unable to meet prosecutors or read an indictment, Kavala's lawyers have been left to piece together the case largely from pro-government media coverage, which has smeared him since his arrest. Those outlets allege his criminal case has been merged with that of Metin Topuz, an employee at the US Consulate in Istanbul who was detained on coup-plotting charges and whose case has helped sour relations between Ankara and Washington. "We can't access the criminal file, so we are working in abstract darkness," Bayraktar said.
Kavala has also been accused of "attacking the government" for allegedly organizing a mass demonstration to save Gezi Park from Erdogan's plans to replace it with a shopping mall in 2013, his lawyers said. Other allegations include support for the movement of the Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, who the government says masterminded the coup attempt, as well as Kurdish insurgents and two far-left militant groups.
"I don't think anyone seriously believes that Kavala is guilty of anything more than demonstrating the continued, stubborn vibrancy of civil society in Turkey," said Eissenstat."His case is meant to be an example to others — his very prominence is demonstration that nobody is safe. Kavala's continued detention is an important piece of this larger attack on civil society," he said, pointing to more than 1,000 civil society groups that have been banned since the coup attempt.
The soft-spoken Kavala, the scion of a wealthy family, has spent much of his fortune sponsoring art and culture and promoting dialogue among Turkey's polarized communities.
Dubbed the "red millionaire" for his left-leaning causes, he has advocated for Turkish reconciliation with both Armenians and Kurds and worked with the government to save Armenian historical sites in Turkey, including Ani, the great medieval capital in eastern Turkey that was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2016.
"Osman Kavala is not a figure we are used to seeing in our midst. He's not Kurdish, but he works on the Kurdish problem; he's not Armenian, but he is involved in Armenian issues," said lawyer Ilkan Koyuncu. "We just can't accept that someone, especially someone wealthy, would involve himself in civil society. Because we cannot understand him, we criminalize him."
Abdulkadir Selvi, a columnist for Hurriyet with close ties to the government, wrote on Oct. 16 that he may find reprieve when Turkey releases a "judicial reform strategy" next month with the hope of currying favor with the EU in its bid to expand a customs union to include more Turkish exports to its biggest trading partner.
Turkey freed American pastor Andrew Brunson this month after imprisoning him two years ago on coup-related charges, and his release was widely seen as an effort by Ankara to mend fences with the United States following threats by President Donald Trump to sanction Turkey over the case.
"Just as Brunson's release created a chance to turn the crisis in Turkish-American relations into an opportunity, we could seize the same with Osman Kavala in relations with the EU," Selvi wrote, but added that he did not expect an indictment anytime soon.
Rachel Goshgarian, an associate professor of history at Lafayette College, has worked with Kavala for a decade on projects related to Armenian cultural heritage in Turkey, including on Ani's architecture. His absence over the past year has deprived Turkish civil society of one of its greatest champions, she told Al-Monitor.
"He has given his life and his energies to making Turkey a place where all of the people who call it home feel comfortable and appreciated," Goshgarian said. "How someone like him ends up in jail for over a year without any obvious reason seems to me not only totally unfair to him, but to Turkish society."

Sharks are some of the most misunderstood animals on the planet. We still have a lot to learn about these fascinating creatures, which are more seriously threatened with extinction and in greater need of conservation and management than any other major group of vertebrates. A Pocket Guide to Sharks of the World is the first field guide to identify, illustrate, and describe the world's 501 shark species. Its compact format makes it handy for many situations, including recognizing living species, fishery catches, or parts sold at markets. The book also contains useful sections on identifying shark teeth and the shark fins most commonly encountered in the fin trade. A Pocket Guide to Sharks of the World is an essential resource for fisheries management, international trade regulation, and shark conservation. * The first pocket guide to all 501 shark species* Each species is illustrated and described* Handy, compact format with concise text* A six-page guide to the identification of shark teeth* An eight-page guide to the identification of shark fins
"This well-organized, well-written guide is ideal for scholars, professionals, and enthusiasts."--Library Journal
"Almost anyone can identify a fish as a shark because of its general body shape, but many of the 501 shark species look so similar that the species are difficult to separate. Though there are many reference works on sharks, none fit the definition of a pocket guide. Producing such a work is not easy. Ebert, Fowler, and Dando deserve to be congratulated. They have created an ideal guidebook that contains the essential information for species identification and, most important, superbly illustrates each species in color."--Choice
"Elegantly illustrated in much the same fashion as well-known bird and mammal books, A Pocket Guide to Sharks of the World is a great addition to the library of both the armchair traveler, like me, who rarely travels, and the intrepid traveler, who is rarely at home."---Gabriel Thoumi, Monga Bay,
"This is a great book to show that there is much more than the myths of great white sharks attacking swimmers. . . . Everything you need to know about these sea creatures is in this guide."---Dave Lewis, Birds from Behind Blog,

AFDA alumni of the week # 149 - Dr Preshanthan Moodley
Alumni of the week, 08 August 2019
< back to all news
Award-winning filmmaker Dr Preshanthan Moodley obtained his PhD in the field of Science at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN).
Preshanthan, who hails from Richards Bay, in northern KwaZulu-Natal, moved to Johannesburg after completing his matric to study film-making at AFDA, the South African School of Motion Picture where he obtained his Bachelor of Arts Honours degree.
In 2008, whilst completing his degree, Preshanthan directed his first independent movie which was distributed in South Africa and broadcast on DSTV. He also produced and directed two seasons of a South African celebrity talk show titled Spill the Beans Over Coffee, which featured guests that included Isidingo actors, socialite and businesswoman Sorisha Naidoo, radio personality Darren Maule, actress Jena Dover and many others.
Two years later Preshanthan produced South Africa's his first Bollywood-style film titled Yeh Rishta. He also accumulated many accolades, namely the award for Best Student TV Production in 2008 and an Indian Cinema Centenary Award in 2013. For most people this would be the makings of a successful career but not for Preshanthan.
He always had a passion for both filmmaking and science. After completing his filmmaking degree he decided to pursue his other passion. He chose the field of renewable energy because he believes that it is an arena that requires fast thinking and solutions to prevent catastrophe in the energy and environmental sectors.
Preshanthan joined UKZN in 2011 where he began his third degree, a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Microbiology which he completed in the allocated time. He went on to complete his BSc Honours degree and thereafter a Masters degree which he not only completed in one year but also passed it cum laude.
Preshanthan completed a PhD in the record time of two years. Preshanthan always had aspirations of completing a PhD and having completed many degrees (in both science and film), to be awarded his PhD was a dream come true.
His PhD research focused on the microbial conversion of sugarcane leaf waste into bioethanol. It entailed developing novel pre-treatment strategies to enhance the enzymatic saccharification of sugarcane leaf waste and consequently examining the fermentation kinetics of bioethanol production.
Preshanthan is most proud to have completed his master's degree cum laude in one year, completed his PhD in two years and six publications in high impact international journals. 'I realised that science communication is an exciting field that has been recently gaining attention. I found that by combining my expertise from both my film and science, I have been able to produce scientifically sound videos for various purposes. In 2014, I produced an informative video about Ebola during the 2014 outbreak. I have also produced several high quality promotional videos for UKZN's College of Agriculture, Engineering and Science, providing insight to school learners about the various science disciplines UKZN has to offer.'

WishesWish Stories
Kira's Wish to meet the HiHo Kids on the YouTube show "Kids Try Food"
" We greatly underestimated...how incredibly inspiring it is to get so much love and support from other people. "
- Kira's parents
Kira , 6
I wish to meet the HiHo kids on the "Kids Try Food" show
leukemia , YouTube , Food
Kira's battle with leukemia started in Russia. She and her mom were visiting Kira's grandparents there, and the energetic six year old suddenly became exhausted all the time, pale, feverish and bruised for no reason.
The local doctor recommended a blood test. It revealed that 91% of her blood cells were cancerous. He recommended they leave to get treatment in the U.S., but it required three blood transfusions to be able to survive the flight home. As soon as she arrived, she was hospitalized at Stanford.
What followed was six stages of chemotherapy, hair loss and her muscles and joints becoming so weak that she could no longer walk. Slowly, however, she regained her strength and was even able to start first grade with her classmates. For Kira, what was hardest about it was being confined in the hospital, in the same small room. To help with her boredom, she started watching YouTube videos since she was "unable to do normal kids activities because of chemo" say her parents. She discovered the HiHo channel, whose "Kids Try Food" program she especially liked, even getting to know the kids and their personalities. Since she loves trying new food, and found the kids on the program really funny, she asked whether she could one day get to be part of an episode.
Her wish gave her the ultimate inside look at the program. She got to not only be part of three different "Kids Try" videos, but all of the existing kids on the program welcomed her, and enjoyed having a pizza party together on the second day of her wish. One of them even became an instant friend: "After talking with Crystal for 5 minutes, I felt like we had been best friends for many years," says Kira.
Kira's wish gave her the chance to step into a world she had used to get herself through chemotherapy. For her parents, Alex and Tatiana, it was something even more: it revealed just how important it is to let others offer their love and support. "We thought we were doing ok ourselves. Kira's wish changed our mind. We greatly underestimated how strong community support can be and how incredibly inspiring it is to get so much love and support from other people."
Here are some of Kira's videos:

How a health system responds to COVID-19
Beth P. Beckman
This story was originally posted by the Yale School of Nursing and appeared in Yale Nursing Matters magazine (PDF).
Beth Beckman D.N.Sc. is the Chief Nursing Executive for Yale New Haven Health System (YNHHS) and the associate dean for clinical partnerships at Yale School of Nursing (YSN). Beckman also holds the distinction of being one of the earliest confirmed COVID-19 cases in New Haven, in March 2020. But no other COVID-19 case field-marshaled a system-wide pandemic response while personally recovering from that pathogen.
She started with a campaign of transparency and over-communication. That included daily calls with YSN, YNHHS, Yale Medicine, and a series of system-wide nursing town halls.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) was a big topic of discussion for the nursing labor pool. "Our real concern was how do we keep our staff safe?" Beckman said. "We'd never had a virus like this, had never tested our PPE supply level to this extent, and had never been required to innovate PPE stewardship that changed our practice almost on a weekly basis to manage the supply and demand quotient," she said.
Like the rest of the nation, YNHHS providers followed the CDC's evolving PPE guidance. "Our bedside leaders listened carefully, responded precisely, and kept themselves safe from contracting COVID-19. I am so very proud of how they managed their practice. Not everyone can do what they did — take great care of patients while taking great care of themselves."
The numbers bear that out. As of Sept. 30, the cumulative COVID-19 positivity rate in Connecticut was 10–12%, while the YNHHS employees was 3% and nurses was 2%.
Innovative care
Beckman described an environment of innovation and agility. Nurses used baby monitors to keep audible patient vigil, facilities staff punched holes in patient doors and transformed entire wings into negative-pressure spaces overnight, and the Smilow Cancer Center was picked up and relocated to Saint Raphael's campus within 24 hours.
Everybody stretched in ways they didn't believe possible... It's amazing what talented people can do when the pressure is on.
Beth Beckman
Operating rooms were converted into ICUs, white boards became patient tracking devices, IT support added video equipment where needed, and "pop-up units" were quickly stood up to manage immediate COVID-19 volume. In Greenwich, conference rooms became holding areas, and even the café was examined for conversion into a clinical space.
"Everybody stretched in ways they didn't believe possible and faster than they ever dreamed imaginable," Beckman said. "It's amazing what talented people can do when the pressure is on and the stakes are high."
Outstanding bedside leadership
Beckman often refers to nurses as bedside leaders in an effort to recognize their highest level of care, and the pivot made by a group of pediatric nurses is a strong example.
"As elective surgeries/procedures were being shut down, we saw the overall pediatric volume dramatically reduced. Moreover, the pediatric population did not appear to be as vulnerable to COVID-19, so we were expecting a surge. In response to this shift, one of the pediatric units volunteered to lend their time and talent to caring for adult COVID-19 patients. This meant moving all personnel to an entirely new unit, adopting a completely new practice, and dealing with death for perhaps the first time in their careers. Within a few short days of moving to this new unit, it was decided that this would be one of the 'comfort measures only' COVID-19 units, and their entire practice was now managing COVID-19 end-of-life-care."
"These pediatric nurses stepped up and put themselves in a place of maximum discomfort for months and just saved the day," Beckman said. "These COVID-19 patients were often so sick that they were total care, and in the absence of family, these pediatric nurses went above and beyond to provide them with dignified and compassionate care."
YNHHS allowed one visitor for patients receiving end-of-life care, but families were often too frightened to come in. And so it was the nurses who would FaceTime, holding up an iPad or a smartphone to give every relative the chance to say goodbye.
Beckman recalls one anecdote from a nurse who spent an hour and a half detangling and washing the hair of a female "comfort measures" patient, in preparation for a FaceTime call. Despite everything she was going through, the patient still wanted to look and feel her best when she talked to her family, and the nurse took the time to provide her with that dignity.
Our bedside leaders took care of these remarkably ill patients and provided them with selfless, courageous, respectful care.
In the case of another patient who was constantly losing blood, the nurse hooked up unit after unit of transfusion until every family member had called and connected with the patient. The consensus among the nursing staff was that they'd never seen patients so sick, of such acuity and high volume, with such unpredictable clinical sequelae.
"Care like this happened every day, many times a day," Beckman said. "Our bedside leaders took care of these remarkably ill patients and provided them with selfless, courageous, respectful care."
"This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that none of us were looking to experience," Beckman said. "But I could not be more proud of how nurses conducted themselves. Knowing this team as I do, I'm not surprised."
The power of teamwork
As COVID-19 marched from spring into summer and into fall, and information on the virus evolved almost daily, it took a toll on the nurses and the team.
Beckman was reminded that anything was possible in the presence of a strong team.
"Every day felt like a week, every week like a month, and we would often say every day was Monday," Beckman said.
"But the teamwork was just exquisite. This was a high-pressure, fast-moving, difficult circumstance, and the way we worked together was so low-drama that it was just a pleasure. There were no egos. As organizational leaders, we all wanted the same things. We didn't get upset about what had to change; we just kept our focus on taking great care of patients and employees."
Beckman is preparing for the next wave that this time may collide with the flu. She says she will draw on many lessons learned from the spring and summer. Heading into another round, YNHHS has a more effective testing paradigm, a roadmap for what it takes to rapidly stand up COVID-19 ready units, and a set of best practices for how to best reallocate the nursing labor pool. To help with the last item, YNHHS has been surveying and recording the clinical backgrounds of its nursing workforce to keep an electronic inventory of a wide range of skillsets.
Additionally, a great deal of time and attention has been devoted to understanding how to best support the stress, and reaction to stress, of the frontline. YNHHS established a program called WELD (Wellness, Engagement, Leadership, Development) for programmatic support to address employee well-being. Beckman stated that "We can never forget those healthcare heroes who selflessly served our community during a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic."

KAY REDFIELD JAMISON is a professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine as well as an honorary professor of English at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. She is the author of the national best sellers An Unquiet Mind, Night Falls Fast, and Touched with Fire. She is coauthor of the standard medical text on manic-depressive illness and author or coauthor of more than one hundred scientific papers about mood disorders, creativity, and psychopharmacology. Dr. Jamison, the recipient of numerous national and international scientific awards, is a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellow.
Johns Hopkins psychiatry professor Jamison, whose Touched with Fire addressed the link between manic-depressive illness and creativity, offers a poignant and powerful memoir of her own struggles with and triumphs over the disease. Her story suggests that, yes, with lithium as regulator, psychotherapy as sanctuary, professional support and love, manic-depressive illness can be managed. The illness is often genetic, and Jamison's exuberant but depressive father was a portent. Her first wave of mania came in high school, but college was a struggle marked by violent moods and passions, and grad school pushed her over the edge. During her first decade on lithium, the drug's side effects blurred her vision so that she could concentrate only on journal articles or poetry. Eventually she attempted suicide. The author's traumas helped drive her academic passions; her work also led her to a happy marriage. She has not had children of her own and raises eloquent'unanswerable'questions about manic-depressives bearing children. 75,000 first printing; Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club alternates; author tour. (Sept.)
This incredibly insightful work chronicles the life of a psychologist and professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University who suffers from manic depression. Jamison began experiencing mood swings during adolescence but, despite her education and training, did not seek help until she had completed her doctorate and began teaching at UCLA. Like so many others suffering from manic depression, she felt initially that the depressions were only passing phases she'd have to work out herself. She experienced the manic phases as great periods of creativity and accomplishment and feared they would be deadened by using medication. (In an earlier book, Touched with Fire, LJ 2/15/93, Jamison explored the relationship between manic depression and creativity.) Jamison finally comes to grips with her illness and recognizes the importance of medication used in conjunction with psychotherapy. This combination of treatment controls her illness and has enabled her to succeed. Her story and writing style are both inspirational and educational. Highly recommended for all libraries.-Jennifer Amador, Central State Hosp. Medical Lib., Petersburg, Va.

GOP effort to repackage Ryan Medicare plan will be a tough sell
By Greg Sargent
Greg Sargent
Opinion columnist covering national politics
The other day, Politico reported that House Republicans had developed an elaborate plan to sell the new version of Paul Ryan's Medicare plan, as a way to avoid the political debacle that greeted last year's rendition. The new talking points instructed Republicans to stress the fact that Ryancare 2.0 gives seniors the choice of "staying in the current Medicare system or using the new one."
With a vote on the new plan set for this week, a new National Journal poll suggests that this new pitch could also prove a tough sell:
Which of the following two options comes closer to your own view of what Medicare should look like in the future?
Medicare should continue as it is today, with the government providing health insurance and paying doctors and hospitals directly for the services they provide to seniors: 64 percent.
Medicare should be changed to a system where the government provides seniors with a fixed sum of money they could use either to purchase private health insurance or to pay the cost of remaining in the current Medicare program: 26 percent.
Even a majority of Republicans supports the current system, 56-30.
The question wording takes care to point out that seniors would have the option of "remaining in the current Medicare program." Yet only 26 percent of Americans support it. The public's verdict seems unambiguous: Don't tamper with Medicare's traditional mission.
Indeed, this is one area where the public sides overwhelmingly with Democrats, at a time when public opinion is still tilting against Obamacare. The same National Journal poll finds that the individual mandate is overwhelmingly opposed by Americans, 66-28; even a plurality of Democrats opposes it. Overall, 43 percent favor the law, versus 47 percent who oppose it.
On Medicare, Dems continue to remain confident that this is a battle that they can win — one that will help define the 2012 elections. The DCCC is circulating a Web video starring Martin Sheen arguing that Ryancare 2.0 would end Medicare as we know it.
Republicans, meanwhile, are circulating an internal poll showing that if the public is told that Ryancare 2.0 is "bipartisan," necessary to prevent Medicare from going bankrupt, and preserves traditional Medicare as an option, a plurality supports it. But if the National Journal poll is to be believed, if you frame the question as a choice between leaving Medicare as it is and changing it into a new system — even one that preserves the option of remaining in the current program — the public overwhelmingly supports the former.
Update: Poll numbers on Obamacare fixed.

Newspaper articles and random written accounts can provide crucial details about a person's life, but never the whole story. So it is with Frederick Machesney. An aviator for 57 is his 79 years, Machesney passed away in Rockford, IL on December 3, 1977. At the time he closed his airfield four years earlier, it was considered the longest running single operator airport in the country. Machesney was elected posthumously to the Illinois Aviation Hall of Fame in 1987. While he has been gone from Rockford for 43 years, his memory is still alive in those who knew him.
This is how you, the Rockford-area community, are vital part of telling his story. Machesney's story lives on through yours.

You mention the root beer barrel. Just before the barrel closed, I believe in about 1971 or so, several of us would fly down from the Wagon Wheel airport at Rockton, taxi up to the fence, and the car hops would serve us there. Fun times, Wished it would have lasted longer.
They Paved Paradise And Put Up A Parking Lot
It wasn't that long ago that driving up North Second Street and glancing across this field provided entirely different scenery. Instead of an empty parking lot with cracked pavement and stale walls, the landscape featured a large grass field speckled with hangars and aircraft. The sound of engines and propellers beating the air dominated the air. In the early days, one would eagerly visit the airport on the weekend for a chance to take a ride with "Mac" and see Rockford from above for only $2.50. Fred Machesney was Rockford's first professional pilot. Nearly 92 years ago, he came to Rockford with an airplane and dream to turn his passion for flying into a full time career. His passion, eye for safety, and his astute business sense quickly endeared him to the Chamber of Commerce and local business leaders. They embraced Machesney not only as a tool to help promote local business but as a partner that could help grow the local economy. The Chamber invested in him heavily and almost
We are pioneers with a great idea...
" " ... We are only pioneers, but we are pioneers with a great idea. Sometime in future centuries, the whole world will be revolutionized by that idea. Then it will know the value of the hope and the thrill we feel as our aero planes rise from the earth, pass through the clouds, and fly high in the clear upper air." -- Art "Bird Boy" Smith" In 1927 Frederick Machesney and his wife Mae moved North from the small farming town of Kewanee, Illinois to Rockford to begin the operation of a small regional airfield. Over the course of the next fifty years Machesney's story would help to shape the development and thus the history of air travel in his local community and throughout the upper Midwest. By the time he retired in the late 1970s, his field was recognized as the oldest existent single operator airport in the country. Machesney was a skilled airman and a community leader, a man with a strong vision and the ambition to bring it to life. In his fift
Machesney Concedes to Progress
"Forty-nine years ago I dug my first spade of ground here, and now I'm doing it again. But this'll be longer lasting." -- Fred Machesney, August 2nd, 1977. The headline from Rockford's Morning Star-Register Republic paper from August 22nd, 1974 reads "Machesney Concedes to Progress". As a researcher, I have read thousands of historical headlines over the years but none have had a personal impact on me more than the one listed above. When Machesney came to Rockford he ushered in a whole new era. For the first time in the history of the city, the airplane was now seen as a viable tool for commerce, recreation, and tourism. Business leaders could charter Machesney to take sales trips all over the region and be back home in time for dinner. Intrepid shoppers could take a shopping tour of Milwaukee and Chicago and be home the same day. Hundreds of aircraft from visiting cities and tours came through the airport during the year to promote aviation or conduct business. The possibiliti

Asia's meth trade is worth an estimated $61B as region becomes 'playground' for drug gangs
Posted at 10:00 PM, Jul 17, 2019
Deep in the jungle in Thailand's northern Chiang Mai province, a unit of armed border officers were on duty late last month when they stumbled on a cave stuffed with drugs.
The stash was huge. Inside were more than 5 million methamphetamine pills — known locally as yaba or "madness drug" — and 145 kilograms (about 320 pounds) of crystal methamphetamine wrapped in large plastic bags.
Even by conservative estimates, the haul was worth tens of millions of dollars, according to the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC). It was the biggest stash Police Lt. Col. Dilok Arinpeng, who commands the unit, said he had ever seen — and, incredibly, he found it unguarded.
But these types of record-breaking busts have become the new normal in Southeast Asia, which is facing one of the world's most intense drug crises.
A UNODC report published Thursday found the methamphetamine trade is now worth between $30 billion and $61 billion per year in East and Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Bangladesh.
That's up from $15 billion a year in 2010, the last time the UNODC estimated the value of the meth trade in the region.
Meth is being sold at rock-bottom prices, seizures appear to be doing little to dent the operations of drug traffickers, and crystal meth from the region is feeding demand as far away as New Zealand.
Jeremy Douglas, the regional representative for the UNODC's Southeast Asia and Pacific operations, called on governments globally to "get their heads around the scale and significance" of the problem.
If they don't, he warned, the situation will only worsen.
"The region is being used and abused by organized crime to do business," Douglas said. "It is no stretch to say parts of it have become their playground."
Experts say the boom in southeast Asia's meth industry is the result of a perfect storm of factors, which have seen Myanmar's lawless Shan State emerge as the region's meth factory.
Many of the warlords, militias and rebel groups who gave up their separatist struggles in exchange for greater autonomy in recent decades, have used that freedom to fund themselves through the drug trade.
From the 1970s to the 1990s, they typically sold opium and heroin, but subsequently shifted to synthetic drugs after realizing how much easier they were to produce and more profitable they could be, Douglas said.
Lax regulation in Shan State, coupled with its porous borders, have enabled meth makers to easily import the required chemicals to make meth. Poorly enforced money laundering controls allow kingpins to easily clean their millions.
"The drugs problem escalated with the increased production of psychotropic stimulant tablets, ice (a nickname for crystal meth), and precursor chemicals have been trafficked illegally from the borders of neighboring countries," Myanmar President U Win Myint said in a speech June 27, according to Burmese state media.
"The menace of drugs is slowly eroding our society, ruining the lives of our youth and destroying the dignity and future of our country," he said.
In recent years, another factor has driven business.
Significant investment has been made in new highways and bridges in southeast Asia, built to move products like food and clothing. But these new roads are also being used by smugglers to import chemicals and export their finished products, said John Coyne, a former head of strategic intelligence with the Australian Federal Police.
The R3A highway, for example, opened in 2011, connecting portions of Thailand to China via Laos. While it's used to bring Chinese produce to markets in the south, since 2015 authorities have also expressed concern that drug traffickers use it to move meth.
All of that combined is creating what the UNODC calls "the world's largest and most dynamic" methamphetamine market, which has led to drug seizures reaching levels "unimaginable a decade ago."
In 2018, authorities seized a record-breaking 120 tons of crystal and pill methamphetamine in the Asia-Pacific region. More than half of those busts took place in Thailand, where authorities confiscated more than 515 million meth pills, according to UNODC.
But the problem isn't limited to Thailand.
Laos and Malaysia also reported record-breaking busts in 2018, and in first eight months of the year Chinese authorities reported a 22-fold increase in crystalline methamphetamine seizures in Yunnan province compared with 2015.
Rock-bottom prices
The UNODC report found that organized crime groups are not only moving "staggering" amounts of meth to meet demand — they are also trying to increase demand, by flooding the region with incredibly cheap product.
That's led synthetic drug prices, especially yaba, to hit historic lows in Southeast Asia, according to the UNODC.
Pills are reportedly selling for less than $1, about the price of a bottle of beer in some parts of Thailand. In the capital of Bangkok, Douglas said a yaba pill costs about $1.50 — the same price as 20 years ago.
Clearly, the record-breaking seizures haven't put a dent in prices.
"Price is a good indicator of supply and that just indicates that the supply is extremely high," Douglas said. "The surge of meth production is continuing and the factories running out of Myanmar are operating at full tilt."
Cheap pills are generally trafficked into Thailand, Laos, China and Myanmar. But organized crime groups have another, more lucrative revenue stream.
The higher purity crystal meth is taken to ports and shipped to richer markets such as Australia, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea.
While those four countries have modest populations, they account for about one-third of the estimated $61 billion methamphetamine market, because consumers there pay far more for the drug, according to the UNODC.
A gram of crystal meth sold for about $560 in Japan and $390 in South Korea in 2017, according to UNODC figures released in March. The report did not have figures for Australia and New Zealand. In the United States, a pure gram of methamphetamine cost about $70 in March 2017, according to the US Drug Enforcement Agency's 2018 National Drug Assessment, although prices vary regionally and depend on drug purity.
Thailand on the front line
While the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have waged bloody drug wars in a bid to crackdown on this problem, other countries are focusing on borders and customs enforcement.
But Thailand has emerged as the real front line in this fight against the meth trade.
That's due to both the country's proximity to the Myanmar production hubs and a renewed focus by the authorities to combat the trade.
At the beginning of 2019, the Thai authorities began an "intensification campaign" along the country's northern border with Myanmar, according to the UNODC's Douglas. That's where the main route used to transport meth through Thailand starts.
But that effort has just sent enterprising traffickers out in search of new routes. Thai police say some operations now send their meth east, using the 800 kilometer portion of the Mekong River that separates Thailand from Laos. Three days after the cave discovery in northern Thailand, police seized 100,000 pills at a checkpoint in the province of Kanchanaburi western Thailand, which borders southern Myanmar.
"Those routes are much more prominent this year than ever before. In fact, the Kanchanaburi route has in the past been used very little. That's quite prominent this year, which has surprised everybody," said Douglas of the UNODC.
The UNODC report noted that it has found "large quantities" of meth are also being trafficked through Laos — which also borders Myanmar — to Vietnam, which has ample coastline for shipping to nearby markets such as Malaysia and the Philippines, but also to Australia and New Zealand.
Coyne, the former Australian Federal Police official, said drug gangs have upended the traditional "narco-economics perspective" by creating "a new world of oversupply."
The capacity to simply ramp up production has allowed meth producers "to write off large seizures as a cost of doing business," said Coyne.
"We're seeing here is very clear evidence that the current law enforcement strategies are not impacting supply or organized crime regionally," he said.

Police wrong about gun in Bailey killing
September 22nd, 2007 No Comments Printer-Friendly
Oakland police chief Wayne Tucker and other Oakland officers examine the scene of Chauncey Bailey's murder in August 2007. (Oakland Tribune)
Gun implicated in editor's slaying is not tied to a 2005 attack on official from Your Black Muslim Bakery.
By Harry Harris and Cecily Burt, Chauncey Bailey Project
OAKLAND — Admitting they made an embarrassing mistake, police said Friday a shotgun used to kill Oakland Post editor Chauncey Bailey Jr. last month by a member of Your Black Muslim Bakery was not used in a 2005 assassination attempt on a former high-ranking member of the bakery organization. Police said in a statement they regretted the release of the incorrect information and said it resulted from a "misunderstanding" between homicide investigators and the department's crime lab."This is a blunder so big somebody should lose their job," said a disgusted John Bey, the former bakery official who was targeted by at least three gunmen in the June 17, 2005, attack.
"This is either total incompetence or there's a criminal element in the police department," Bey said Friday. "Something just ain't right."
Deputy Chief Jeff Israel, who commands the bureau of investigation, said, "We're clearly embarrassed. It would have been a simple thing to confirm this information, and we didn't do it.
"In the future before releasing information to the media (in such high-profile cases), we will make sure it is validated and make certain it is accurate."
Israel said the release of the erroneous information resulted "from a misunderstanding, and a misunderstanding does not amount to misconduct. People make mistakes, and clearly a mistake was made."
Israel said acknowledging the mistake so quickly and publicly "says a lot about (the department's) character. We didn't try to hide it. We put it out as soon as we knew it."
Police still are standing by their assertion members of the bakery were responsible for the attack on Bey and will continue to investigate. Bey, 44, was wounded with a shotgun and other weapons outside his Montclair home as he was leaving for work. He survived the attack by running through yards away from the gunmen.
The shotgun in question was one of two recovered by police during a massive raid Aug. 3 — the day after Bailey's slaying — on the bakery in the 5800 block of San Pablo Avenue and residences associated with bakery members. Police were searching for guns and evidence in two July slayings, the kidnapping of two women in May, a car shooting in December and the attack on Bey.
Police said the shotgun used to kill Bailey was thrown from the window of a duplex on 59th Street by Devaughndre Broussard, a bakery handyman, who later that night confessed to homicide Sgts. Lou Cruz and Derwin Longmire to killing Bailey.
Police earlier this week told the Oakland Tribune and other media that the shotgun also had been used in the attack on Bey, as well as in December 2006 to shoot out the windows of a car belonging to the ex-boyfriend of the girlfriend of Yusuf Bey IV, the now-jailed leader of the bakery empire.
Police said Friday the gun used in Bailey's killing and the December shooting are the same.
Homicide Lt. Ersie Joyner III said investigators thought shells fired by the shotgun had been matched in both the Bey and December cases before Bailey's slaying, when in fact there had not been a comparison made in the Bey case.
Joyner said three expended shotgun shells were found at the site of Bailey's killing and investigators asked them to be compared by criminalists. He said when they were told there was a match, "we thought he was talking about all the cases."
Cruz, the investigator who had said the shotgun was used in the three attacks, said Friday he was "led to believe there was a match," although he did not hear that directly from the criminalist who does such comparisons.
Cruz said he never got a chance to talk to the criminalist personally because he was too busy preparing the search warrants.
"It did not come directly from the (criminalists') mouth" but from another officer, he said. "It was an error."
After the criminalist saw media accounts about the supposed matches Thursday, he contacted investigators and told them he never had compared the shells in Bey's case with the car shooting.
On Friday, he tested the shells from all three crimes with both shotguns recovered during the raid and determined none matched the Bey attack.
Bey said he had to chuckle to keep from crying when told of the shocking turnabout Friday. He said he and his wife had been getting lots of phone calls from old friends, who were looking forward to the possible resolution of unsolved crimes, including the attempt on his life and the murder of bakery president Waajid Aljawaad Bey in 2004.
"I could do better if they would turn the investigation over to me," John Bey said. "No wonder Oakland is in the trouble it's in."
Joyner and Cruz emphasized the mistake in no way impacts the case against Broussard, who they never considered a suspect in either the Bey or car shooting cases.

Symptoms & CausesDiagnosis
7 Types of Migraine: Which Do You Have?
Medically Reviewed by Sharron Murray, MS, RN
Like ice cream, Migraine comes in a variety of different "flavors," and it "tastes" different to each of us. Yes, the base ingredients are the same, but symptoms and severity can vary by person, attack, and over time.
Knowing exactly which type of Migraine you have is essential to finding the most effective treatment.
It's a fact: 60% of women and 70% of men with Migraine aren't diagnosed properly. Getting an accurate diagnosis is critical for the right treatment. Some medications are actually dangerous to people who actually have Migraine with Aura, for example.
According to the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3), there are seven different types of migraines: the two major types (Migraine without aura and Migraine with aura), the four subtypes of Migraine with aura, and Chronic Migraine. The criteria for doctors to use in diagnosing these types of Migraine are based on scientific evidence
The two major types of Migraine are:
1 - Migraine without Aura (formerly called Common Migraine)
"Migraine without aura is the most common type of migraine diagnosed," headache specialist Dr. Andrew Charles told Migraine Again. "Around 60 to 70% of individuals with Migraine do not have aura associated with their attacks, so Migraine without aura is their primary diagnosis."
Symptoms include moderate to severe pulsating headache pain that is aggravated with movement. The headache comes with nausea and/or vomiting, and photophobia (sensitivity to light), and/or phonophobia (sensitivity to sound)."
A prodromal phase (warning phase) may occur hours or days before the headache. Warning symptoms may carry on into the headache phase. Along with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to stimuli, common warning symptoms include confusion (cognitive dysfunction), blurred vision, mood changes, fatigue, food cravings, yawning, neck stiffness, and/or pain. These symptoms may also occur in Migraine with Aura (see below).
The headache phase may be followed by a postdrome phase (hangover phase). Postdrome symptoms include feeling tired or washed out and cognitive impairment.
Migraine attacks typically last 4-72 hours, and they repeat a few times a year to a few times a week (see Chronic Migraine, below). Importantly, Migraine without Aura is the type more prone to worsen with frequent use of symptomatic medication.
2 - Migraine with Aura (formerly called Classic or Complicated Migraine)
This type of Migraine includes visual disturbances and other neurological symptoms that appear about 10 to 60 minutes before the actual headache and usually last no more than an hour. You may temporarily lose part or all of your vision. The aura may occur without headache pain, which can strike at any time.
Visual aura is the most common, featuring a zigzag figure that may spread right or left across your vision. You may temporarily lose part or all of your vision.
Less frequent aura symptoms include an abnormal sensation, numbness, or muscle weakness on one side of the body; a tingling sensation in the hands or face; trouble speaking; and confusion.
Your Migraine case may not fit neatly into one type. "It's very common for those with Migraine to have occasional aura and, therefore, qualify both for the diagnosis of both Migraine types – Migraine with and without Aura," says Dr. Charles. Many patients with Migraine also experience Tension-Type Headache.
Subtypes of Migraine with Aura include:
3 - Migraine without Headache
Technically, this is known as Typical Aura without Headache.
It is characterized by visual problems or other aura symptoms, nausea, vomiting, and constipation, but without head pain.
Headache specialists have suggested that fever, dizziness, and/or unexplained pain in a particular part of the body could also be possible types of headache-free Migraine. It's different from the complications known as Abdominal Migraine and Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome, which often occur in children.
4 - Migraine with Brainstem Aura (formerly called Basilar-Type Migraine)
Mainly affecting children and adolescents, this type includes Migraine with Aura symptoms that originate from the brainstem, but without motor weakness. It occurs most often in teenage girls and may be associated with their menstrual cycles.
Symptoms include partial or total loss of vision or double vision, dizziness and loss of balance (vertigo), poor muscle coordination, slurred speech, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and fainting. The throbbing pain may come on suddenly and is felt on both sides at the back of the head.
5 - Hemiplegic Migraine
Hemiplegic Migraine (HM) is a rare but severe form of Migraine that causes temporary paralysis - sometimes lasting several days - on one side of the body prior to or during a headache. Symptoms such as vertigo, a pricking or stabbing sensation, and problems seeing, speaking, or swallowing may begin prior to the headache pain and usually stop shortly thereafter.
When it runs in families, the disorder is called Familial Hemiplegic Migraine (FHM). Though rare, at least three distinct genetic forms of FHM have been identified. These genetic mutations make the brain more sensitive or excitable, most likely by increasing brain levels of a chemical called glutamate. Read a Migraine Journey about a Hemiplegic Migraine patient.
6. Retinal Migraine
The fourth and final subtype of Migraine with Aura, retinal Migraine is a very rare type characterized by attacks of visual loss or disturbances in one eye. These attacks, like the more common visual auras, are usually associated with head pain.
"Uncommonly, there are cases of the phenomenon involving just one eye — in this case, we would use the term Migraine with retinal aura," explains Dr. Charles. "The reason for that is that the same spreading waves of activity that can happen in the brain to cause visual aura can also happen in the retina of one eye."
And the final Migraine type is:
7. Chronic Migraine
Characterized by 15 or more headache days per month for more than 3 months. Headache may be Migraine-like or tension-type like but has the features of Migraine on at least 8 days per month.
Attacks can be with or without aura, and they usually require preventative medications and behaviors to control. Chronic Migraine is often disabling. After drug withdrawal, about half of Chronic Migraine patients revert to Episodic Migraine and half do not.
Preventative habits are highly advised to keep the condition from progressing from Episodic to Chronic. Discover the factors that may increase your risk of developing Chronic Migraine here.
Migraine Complications
Many Migraine types formerly thought to be distinctive disorders have now been classified as "complications." These include status migrainosus, persistent aura without infarction, Migrainous infarction, and Migraine aura-triggered seizure (migralepsy).
Episodic syndromes that may be associated with Migraine include recurrent gastrointestinal disturbance (cyclical vomiting syndrome, abdominal Migraine), benign paroxysmal vertigo (vestibular Migraine), and benign paroxysmal torticollis (head tilt to one side).
For more on these, check out our article on Strange Migraine Complications. It can help unlock the mystery of your personal Migraine case, as it did mine.
What about Menstrual Migraines? Morning Migraines?
If you're wondering: where is Hormonal Migraine? Morning Migraine? Complex Migraine? Well, these technically aren't official Migraine types anymore, according to the IHS. I asked Peter Goadsby, MD, one of the top doctors influencing IHS and AHS policies why these new terms were adopted.
His explanation: the World Health Organization needed a common language to define all the Migraine sub-types so that doctors and patients around the world could compare notes and exchange data. That seems like a very good idea.
If you suffer from Menstrual Migraine attacks three days before every period, you can keep calling that. Ditto for Weather-Related Migraine and Morning Migraine, the kind that wrecks your day before it even starts. As Migraine Warriors, we tend to think of the occasions when attacks occur and major symptoms to name our pain.
Personally, I discovered after decades of suffering from Chronic Migraine without Aura that my own pain didn't start at 23, but instead at 12 with Abdominal Migraine complications and a Migralepsy seizure.

Dingelstedt am Huy ist ein Ortsteil der gleichnamigen Ortschaft der Einheitsgemeinde Huy im Landkreis Harz in Sachsen-Anhalt, (Deutschland) und Sitz der Gemeindeverwaltung.

Geografie
Dingelstedt befindet sich am nördlichen Rand des Huys, eines 314 m hohen, bewaldeten Höhenzuges im nördlichen Harzvorland. Somit befindet sich der Ort am südlichen Rand der fruchtbaren Ebene zwischen Huy und Elm, welche in ihrer Mitte das Große Bruch bildet.

Der Ort liegt etwa 10 km nord-nordwestlich (Luftlinie) von Halberstadt entfernt.

Die Ortschaft Dingelstedt am Huy bildet sich durch die Ortsteile Dingelstedt am Huy, Mönchhai und Röderhof, sowie den Wohnplätzen Arbketal, Forsthaus Ziegenkopf, Gambrinus und Huysburg.

Geschichte

Der Name Dingelstedt leitet sich aus dem Wort Thing und dem Suffix -stedt/-städt her (siehe auch Dingelstädt im Eichsfeld). Er legt Zeugnis ab über eine altdeutsche Gründung an einer ehemaligen Thingstätte. Der Ort bildete sich am Rande südlichen Rande des fruchtbaren Großen Bruchs, am nördlichen Fuße des Höhenzuges des Huy, um die Üppelquelle, welche mitten im Ort entspringt.
Erstmals erwähnt wird die Ortschaft im 11. Jahrhundert in einer päpstlichen Urkunde aus Goslar. Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts erlebte das Dorf einen Aufschwung durch den Kalibergbau im Ortsteil Mönchhai und im benachbarten Wilhelmshall. Aus dieser Zeit stammten viele Backsteinhäuser des Ortes. Prägend waren daneben der Kirschen-Anbau und die "Zuckerrüben-Barone". Der Ort zählt ca. 1300 Einwohner (1902: 1679 Einwohner) und weist einen historisch gewachsenen Ortskern mit Fachwerkhäusern und größeren, meist ehemaligen Bauerngehöften auf.

Am 17. Oktober 1928 wurde der Gutsbezirk Dingelstedt am Huy, Forst in Teilen mit den Landgemeinden Huy-Neinstedt, Dingelstedt und Röderhof vereinigt. Am 1. Juli 1950 wurde die bis dahin eigenständige Gemeinde Röderhof eingegliedert.

Seit Beginn der 1960er Jahre war Mönchhai Standort eines Ausbildungsbataillons der Grenztruppen der DDR.

Die Landwirtschaft durch die dominante Genossenschaft und einzelne Bauernhöfe ist nach wie vor prägend. Handwerksbetriebe, Einzelhandel, eine Arzt- und eine Zahnarztpraxis sind dem Dorf erhalten geblieben.

Am 1. April 2002 bildete die Gemeinde Dingelstedt am Huy zusammen mit den anderen zehn Gemeinden der aufgelösten Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Huy die neue Gemeinde Huy. Dingelstedt wurde Verwaltungssitz der Gemeinde.

Religion
Dingelstedt, das zuvor zum Archidiakonat Eilenstedt des Bistums Halberstadt gehörte, wurde durch die Reformation protestantisch.

Die St.-Stephani-Kirche gehört zur Kirchengemeinde Dingelstedt des Kirchenkreises Halberstadt der Evangelischen Kirche in Mitteldeutschland.

Infolge der Flucht und Vertreibung Deutscher aus Mittel- und Osteuropa 1945–1950 ließen sich wieder Katholiken in Dingelstedt nieder, sie gehören zur Pfarrei Huysburg. 1956 erfolgte an der Ecke Bahnhofstraße/Schustergasse die Einweihung einer katholischen Kapelle als Außenstation der Pfarrei Huysburg. Am 30. Oktober 2007 wurde die Kapelle wieder profaniert.

Politik

Ortschaftsrat
Als Ortschaft der Einheitsgemeinde Huy übernimmt ein so genannter Ortschaftsrat die Wahrnehmung der speziellen Interessen des Ortes innerhalb bzw. gegenüber den Gemeindegremien. Er wird aus sieben Mitgliedern gebildet.

Bürgermeister
Als weiteres ortsgebundenes Organ fungiert der Ortsbürgermeister, dieses Amt wird zur Zeit von Andreas Schumann wahrgenommen.

 Huysburg mit Benediktinerkloster
 Kirche Sankt Stephani: Nach dem Märtyrer Sankt Stephanus genannt ist sie eine der ältesten Kirches des Bistums Halberstadt. Von der ersten romanischen Kirche ist noch der Turm erhalten, wogegen das Schiff im Jahre 1714 erneuert wurde. An der Südseite der Kirche steht ein Relief des gekreuzigten Heilands inmitten von Mutter María und Johannes, von welchem man annimmt das dieses noch aus der Alten Kirche stammt. Das Altargemälde mit Abendmahl, Kreuzigung und Grablegung des Herrn Cristus stammt vom Jahre des Herrn anno 1783. Vor dem 19. Jahrhundert stand in der Kirche eine Barockorgel, Die derzeitige Orgel wurde von Herrn Eduard Hülle aus Halberstadt im Jahre 1880 gebaut.
 Eine Vielzahl gut erhaltener alter Fachwerkhäuser und -scheunen; mit für die Region des nördlichen Vorharzgebietes typische Bauernhöfe, einschließlich mehrerer kleiner mit alten Linden bestandenen Plätzen innerhalb des Ortes, wo sich früher die Nachbarn getroffen haben, Feste gefeiert wurden und das Dorfleben stattfand. Alte Schwengelpumpen sind überall gegenwärtig.
 Üppelquelle: Sie befindet sich in der Mitte des Ortes.
 Grab- und Gedenkstein auf dem Ortsfriedhof zur Erinnerung an die Opfer eines Explosionsunglücks während des Zweiten Weltkrieges in der unterirdischen Munitionsfabrik Huy im September 1944. Es handelte sich um 54 deutsche und 12 ausländische Männer und Frauen, vermutlich Zwangsarbeiter.
 Streuobstwiesen: An den unteren Hängen des Huy im Übergangsgebiet zur fruchtbaren Tiefebene gibt es eine Vielzahl von Streuobstwiesen, mit Äpfeln, Zwetschgen, Birnen, und vor allem Kirschen, wáhrend der obere Teil des Höhenzuges dicht bewaldet ist.

Einen kulturellen Mittelpunkt bildet die Mehrzweckhalle oberhalb des Sportplatzes. Den feierlichen Höhepunkt des Jahres stellt das Kirschblütenfest dar. Die Schule des Dorfes wurde Ende der 1990er Jahre geschlossen, ebenso wie die Badeanstalt.

Wanderwege in den bewaldeten Höhenzug Huy und zur Huysburg beginnen südlich, oberhalb des Ortes.

Verkehr
Der Bahnhof Dingelstedt (b Halberstadt) lag an der Bahnstrecke Halberstadt–Dedeleben, die 2001 stillgelegt wurde. Diese Strecke führte einst von Halberstadt über Nienhagen, Jerxheim bis Wolfenbüttel, wurde durch die Teilung Deutschlands 1945 unterbrochen. Nach der Wende gab es Bestrebungen den 5 km langen Lückenschluss über die Zonengrenze zwischen Dedeleben und Jerxheim wieder aufzubauen, um die gesamte Region wieder an das Eisenbahnnetz zu binden und eine direkte Verbindung zwischen Wolfenbüttel und Braunschweig mit Halberstadt zu bekommen, wurde aber bisher nie in die Realität umgesetzt.

Honolulu firefighters responded to an accidental spark that grew into a fire on Sand Island.
The incident was reported just after 2 a.m. Tuesday at the Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant on Sand Island Parkway.
Officials say when firefighters got to the scene, they found an open flame coming from an incinerator.
Captain on the scene said a plant worker accidentally sparked the fire.
The fire was under control within 30 minutes and no injuries are reported.
The plant was not affected.
