I post Norman Hsu's letter to an official (Mr. Huo) in Hanban here, so you can make a judgment whether Norman Hsu is a Chinese government agent or not.
An elected US School District Official (Norman Hsu) openly identifies himself with China, Not America, as a Chinese nationalist, and promises to do his best to push the Chinese communist regime's "Confucius Classroom" program throughout Southern California. One has to wonder why we elected Norman Hsu to represent the Chinese regime's interest in America.
After I examined some email records from Mr. Hsu and others, I have concluded that a deep corruption/infiltration by the Chinese communist government has occurred in Hacienda La Puente Unified School District. And I am quite sure this corruption and infiltration by the Chinese government is deep throughout the US educational system, from College Board to local school districts.
In this letter, Mr. Huo is 霍福海,a Hanban official in charge of infiltration of the Chinese Confucius Classroom into the West and the US. And Norman Hsu is boasting to push for ten such classrooms in Los Angeles vicinity.
I hope publication of this letter will attract enough attention from the public and the law enforcement as to the extent of Chinese communist infiltration into and corruption of the US government officials. Proper measures must be taken to ensure the integrity of our educational system.
In light of Mr. Norman Hsu's letter to Chinese government's Hanban's official (Mr. Huo), I appeal/petition to the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District Board members to have a vote to dismiss/remove/expel Mr. Norman Hsu as a School Board member immediately.
This letter from Mr. Norman Hsu to Hanban's Mr. Huo Fuhai reveals Mr. Hsu's true identity as a Chinese agent. He admits in this letter that he owes his allegiance first to his nationality, not as an American, but as a Chinese. Therefore, he, though elected as a US government official, works in fact secretively for a hostile foreign government to implement its propaganda programs in American schools.
I as a tax payer and an American, have a duty and obligation, to expose Mr. Hsu's true identity. His corruption, by operating a tourist business using public resources, aside, Mr. Hsu has committed treason against the United States. Keeping him on the school board and continuing having him wield power in an American institution is a mockery to American Constitution and established laws, is a betrayal to the confidence of American tax payers.
I have sent Mr. Hsu's letter to Hanban as evidence to proper authorities. I have confidence proper legal measures will be taken against Mr. Hsu by the US government. I urge the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District Board take immediate action to dismiss/remove/expel Mr. Norman Hsu from his position as a school board member and his official duty.
We elect public officials to represent Americans, not communist Chinese government's interests. This School Board has a moral and official duty to uphold American Constitution and defend it against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
I just received your letter. I will go to Cedarlane Middle School right away. I will implement the important points you just mentioned and have the application ready for approval as soon as possible.
Here in America, the power to manage schools dwells on the District School Board. All schools from elementary to middle/high schools obey the decisions of the School Board.
Based on such a system, I can represent the School District and my letter will have more power (to the schools). Since you need the school authority to approve, I will do my best.
Policies are decided by the School Board members and then implemented by the schools. It is similar to the Chinese Government's Bureau of Education. The executive tasks are carried out by the District Superintendent and the School Board members. (Teachers and Superintendent) are hired by the School Board. All hiring/appointments are done by the School Board. The "Confucius Classroom" program is mainly propagated by my personal effort. I need all the support I can get.
If this first program can be established, I will use my power to spread it around. I can spread this "Confucius Classroom" program to at least ten School Districts: Hacienda, Walnut, Pomona, West Covina, Covina, Pasadena, (three other districts with Chinese pronunciations), ABC… etc. (I can count over thirty districts).


Boston, MA - After 39 years of serving the outdoor sporting community, Ski Market is closing its doors for good. Going-out-of-business sales start this Saturday, February 6th, at all seven Ski Market stores located in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
"We would like to express our appreciation to all of our loyal customers for their many years of patronage," said Andrew Ferguson, President of Ski Market. "As a thank you, we are offering skiers and snowboarders an opportunity to partake in incredible deals with discounts starting at 20-40% off everything in our stores just in time for the long President's Day weekend."
Customers can find unheard of savings on sporting equipment and outdoor apparel from top brand names. Products include a wide selection of Volkl, Dynastar and Rossignol ski equipment and Burton, K2 and Ride snowboards. All stores also have a wide selection of Scott and Marin road, mountain and urban bikes and car racks. Once an item is sold, it often isn't replaced. Therefore, the best deals across the widest selection of products happen in the very beginning of the sale.
"The closing of this iconic New England retailer will mark the end of an era. All merchandise is marked down significantly so we won't be surprised to see it sell out very quickly," stated Tim Shilling, Director at Gordon Brothers Group. "The ski and snowboard season is just getting started so customers will be able to take advantage of great deals on skis, snowboards and outerwear, in addition to a huge selection of mountain and road bikes."
Ski Market started in Wellesley, Massachusetts where Bob Ferguson opened St. Moritz Sports in 1958. After thirteen years of business, Ferguson partnered with Tom Richardson and opened the first Ski Market on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston. Ski Market fulfilled the market's desire for a discount ski shop since, in 1971, high-end specialty shops were the only place to buy skis and ski equipment. To diversify themselves even more, Ski Market owners added bikes to their store to capitalize on the height of the 10-speed craze.
Ski Market is a retailer of fine, affordable ski equipment including skis, bindings and ski packages in the winter, in addition to bicycles and other sports equipment. Ski Market employs about 170 full- and part-time workers. The company has Ski Market stores in Boston, Framingham, Pembroke, Woburn, Avon, C.T. and Warwick, R.I., as well as the St. Moritz store in Wellesley.

Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency brokers and exchanges in the world, is privately testing a payment option for merchants, called Coinbase Commerce, report several media. The service will be similar to that of PayPal, but instead of fiat currencies, payments will be available for cryptocurrencies.
The most obvious rival in the segment is BitPay.
According to the reports, the service will support payments with Bitcoin, Ether, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin. The new solution not require buyers to have an account with the cryptocurrency company and the payment confirmation would take 15 minutes.
The new service has not been officially launched or announced yet, but according to media reports, is in a private beta testing mode and some merchants are already testing the service. The fee will reportedly be 1% of the transaction. Compared to PayPal, which charges 2-3%, plus 0.3 cents on each transaction, the Coinbase Commerce would be quite attractive.
The Coinbase Commerce site does not give any information and says it does not accept new sign-ups, but the interested parties can join the waiting list.
Currently has a Coinbase Merchant service. With it clients can pay for various services or goods in cryptocurrencies. Among those using it is the hotel and tourism services portal Expedia, Dell, Wikimedia Foundation, the satellite provider Dish, the internet retailer Overstock, etc.
However, both the buyer and the seller must have an account at Coinbase. According to the media reports, the Coinbase Commerce will not require this and one only needs one of the supported cryptocurrencies.


Jones Contracting, Inc. is proud to serve the Roann community!
About Roann, IN - Happy to be your hometown Heating & Air Conditioning Contractor!
Along the Eel River in northern Indiana is a small town known as Roann. It is 50 miles east of Fort Wayne and 70 miles south of the State of Michigan border. According to the United States Census Bureau, the population of Roann was approximately 465 people in 2016. Roann is estimated to be one of the smallest cities in Wabash County.
Individuals who visit Roann will discover a charming town. One theory on how the community got its name is that it is named for Roanne, France. Another theory states the community is named for a father who observed his daughter on a boat in a dangerous current and yelled "Row, Ann." Although the origin of the community's name unknown, there are several historic places in Roann that are well known among history enthusiasts. Roan is home to the Thomas J. Lewis House, Roann Covered Bridge, Roann Historic District, and Roann-Paw Paw Township Public Library. These facilities and locations are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and provide recreational opportunities to residents and visitors of the community. In Roann, Indiana, individuals enjoy a good quality of life in a charming town.
It is necessary for Roann residents to have cooling and heating systems installed in their homes. The town is in a region of the United States that experiences warm summers and very cool winters. Central air conditioning units and furnaces are best equipped to cool and heat homes in Roan. During June, July, and August, the average daytime temperature highs range from the low to mid-80s. When heat waves pass through the community, temperatures will rise to the low-90s. During the summer seasons, central air conditioning units are sufficient to cool homes in Roann, Indiana.
In addition to cooling units, residents of Roann should have access to heating systems inside their homes. During the months of winter, the average daytime temperature highs range from the low to mid-30s and snowfall is common. Furnaces are best equipped to heat homes in Roann. When properly installed and maintained by professional HVAC technicians, heating systems can literally be lifesavers to residents of Roann.

In order to correctly expose your film or digital CCD there are two variables that must be identified: average reflectance and average light. Unless you have some good reason to meter for other than these two averages, stick meticulously to the method outlined below.
This article deals with reflected light readings. This is the type of light reading taken with an in camera light meter or a hand held meter which is pointed toward the subject. This article does not deal with incident light readings which are a measure of the light falling on the subject.
A white painted wall, snow or the ocean reflect most of the light falling on them. A burnt tree, a black fireplace or a coal mine reflect little of the light falling on them.A mid tone falls halfway between these extremes and reflects 18% of the light falling on it. The ISO rating of film or a digital CCD is set so this mid tone is exposed as a mid tone.
If need be, point the meter toward yourself and meter your clothes or else take your coat off, throw it on the ground and meter that.
Sand at the beach, or the palm of your hand are about one stop too bright. These can be used to meter off but you must compensate and the liklihood of a mistake is introduced.
If metering a building, meter off a corner so you get one wall in the sun and the adjacent wall in the building's own shadow. Alternatively, meter half the sunlit building and half the shadow on the ground.
When photographing the landscape I always take my own shadow with me. Yes, as long as the sun is shining my shadow will be there with me. I crouch down and meter off the ground and point the meter so half of it reads my shadow and the other half reads the sunny area. That's my reading till the light changes. If I have any doubts about the average reading, I take a reading from the shadow area and another from the sunny area, then see if my average light reading is in the middle.
When photographing indoors by window light, be sure to meter for the average of the subtle difference between light and shadow. This difused, directional light, according to my view of the world, is the most attractive and useful light for photography. Although the level is low, the quality is high. Strive to meter it acurately.
Laurie McArthur is a wilderness landscape photographer, based on the New South Wales Far South Coast, Australia.


Boil the sugar and water in a pan without stirring. Reduce the heat and simmer, shaking the pan occasionally until a light brown caramel has formed. Remove the pan from the heat, add the nuts, mix, add salt to taste, divide onto a sheet of baking paper, allow to cool. Roughly chop the nuts.
Using the whisk on a hand mixer, beat the sugar, egg yolks, oil and yoghurt in a bowl for approx. 3 mins. until light and fluffy. Stir the carrots and all the other ingredients up to and including the nutmeg into the mixture. Combine the pecan nuts, hazelnuts, flour and baking powder, stir into the mixture. Beat the egg white with the salt until stiff, carefully fold into the mixture using a rubber spatula. Transfer the cake mixture to the prepared tin.
For approx. 50 mins. in the bottom half of an oven preheated to 180°C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool a little, remove from the tin and leave to cool on a rack. Place the cake on a sheet of baking paper along with the rack and slice open crosswise.
Beat together the butter and icing sugar using the whisk attachment on a hand mixer until the mixture turns a paler colour. Add the remaining ingredients, mix well. Spoon 1/4 of the frosting onto the sponge base and place the lid on top. Coat the cake all around with another 1/4 of the frosting. Spoon the remaining frosting into a piping bag with a serrated nozzle (approx. 14 mm diameter). Pipe over the cake, place in the fridge for approx. 30 mins.

5 Election Stories You Should Catch Up On
As always, the world's many elections always provide for some interesting reading.
Here are 5 articles you might want to catch up on, covering the effects of populism on evidence-based decision-making in the Netherlands, French Presidential candidate François Fillon's continuing political and polling woes, the difficulty of predicting elections in the world's largest sub-national entity, Uttar Pradesh, and an interesting land use referendum in Los Angeles.
Netherlands: In an interview with former Dutch minister Rick van der Ploeg, the populist nature of the upcoming March 15 Dutch election is explored, with an interesting discussion of how three parties (on both the left and right) have refused to submit their platforms to the government's economic planning bureau, who traditionally release analysis of the effect of each party's plans on the economy. Is populism in the Netherlands leading to a rejection of evidence-based policy?
France: A new poll measuring candidate support in this year's French presidential election has shown independent centrist (and former Socialist Party member) Emmanuel Macron drawing nearly even with the National Front's Marine Le Pen. Recent polls have shown Macron over-taking Republican candidate François Fillon in recent days, with Fillon in a scandal involving allegedly hiring family members in exchange for no work.
France: Fillon's scandals have recently led to calls for him to step aside as a candidate, though the pressure on this was temporarily lifted when former Prime Minister Alain Juppé declined to enter the race.
India: Elections in the most populous state in the world's second-most populous country, Uttar Pradesh, are wrapping up this week, but despite confidence from the national ruling party, the BJP, its outcome still remains very difficult to predict.
United States: The relatively dull mayoral election in Los Angeles, where incumbent Eric Garcetti is facing little in the way of serious challenge, is, on the same day, having an interesting and contentious referendum about the one issue that city politics always boils down to: land use.

Q: PIck randomly samples from a 2D matrix and keep the indexes in python I have a numpy 2D matrix with data in python and I want to perform downsampling by keeping the 25% of the initial samples. In order to do so, I am using the following random.randint functionality:
reduced_train_face = face_train[np.random.randint(face_train.shape[0], size=300), :]

However, I am having a second matrix which contains the labels associated with the faces and I want to reduce with the same way. How, can I keep the indexes from the reduced matrix and apply them to the train_lbls matrix?

A: Why don't you keep the selected index and use them to select data from both matrices?
import numpy as np

# setting up matrices
np.random.seed(1234)  # make example repeatable
                      # the seeding is optional, only for the showing the
                      # same results as below!
face_train = np.random.rand(8,3)
train_lbls= np.random.rand(8)

print('face_train:\n', face_train)
print('labels:\n', train_lbls)

# Setting the random indexes
random_idxs= np.random.randint(face_train.shape[0], size=4)
print('random_idxs:\n', random_idxs)

# Using the indexes to slice the matrixes
reduced_train_face = face_train[random_idxs, :]
reduced_labels = train_lbls[random_idxs]
print('reduced_train_face:\n', reduced_train_face)
print('reduced_labels:\n', reduced_labels)

Gives as output:
face_train:
 [[ 0.19151945  0.62210877  0.43772774]
 [ 0.78535858  0.77997581  0.27259261]
 [ 0.27646426  0.80187218  0.95813935]
 [ 0.87593263  0.35781727  0.50099513]
 [ 0.68346294  0.71270203  0.37025075]
 [ 0.56119619  0.50308317  0.01376845]
 [ 0.77282662  0.88264119  0.36488598]
 [ 0.61539618  0.07538124  0.36882401]]
labels:
 [ 0.9331401   0.65137814  0.39720258  0.78873014  0.31683612  0.56809865
  0.86912739  0.43617342]
random_idxs:
 [1 7 5 4]
reduced_train_face:
 [[ 0.78535858  0.77997581  0.27259261]
 [ 0.61539618  0.07538124  0.36882401]
 [ 0.56119619  0.50308317  0.01376845]
 [ 0.68346294  0.71270203  0.37025075]]
reduced_labels:
 [ 0.65137814  0.43617342  0.56809865  0.31683612]

A: You can fix the seed just before applying your extraction:
import numpy as np

# Each labels correspond to the first element of each line of face_train
labels_train =  np.array(range(0,15,3))
face_train = np.array(range(15)).reshape(5,3)
np.random.seed(0)
reduced_train_face = face_train[np.random.randint(face_train.shape[0], size=3), :]
np.random.seed(0)
reduced_train_labels = labels_train[np.random.randint(labels_train.shape[0], size=3)]

print(reduced_train_face, reduced_train_labels)
# [[12, 13, 14], [ 0,  1,  2], [ 9, 10, 11]], [12,  0,  9]

With the same seed, it will be reduce the same way.
edit: I advice you to use np.random.choice(n_total_elem, n_reduce_elem) in order to ensure that you only choose each data once and not twice the same data

The following months showed me, the beauty of the hybrid vinca. The plants, although small, not even a foot (30 centimeters) higher, had an awesome blossom, all during this period of three months. The dark coloured shiny and velvety leaves and the vivid coloured dark flowers presented an absolute contrasting image of the plant, to an extent, that my neighbours used to praise it. The following month was very crucial to these vinca plants because the monsoon season had set in fully, and it was the time during mid august, that, the plant started giving numerous starshaped flowers, particularly, clicking picture of these early in the morning was awesome. The half bloomed buds, had a beauty of their own.
The vinca, during the peak of the monsoon season.
The vinca, during the peak of the monsoon season. This photograph was clicked with a cell phone camera, as were the others, that too in overcast conditions, so, a bit low in brightness.
Most of the times, the sky used to be covered with a thick cover of cloud, more so during the early morning hours and late evening hours. Most of these vinca images were clicked during these times only as during I used to cater to my professional life. Since, I do not like editing my images much, and more so, I do that very rarely, so, here they are unedited, untouched.
The stars, with tiny droplets of rain water. This photograph was clicked during early hours of morning, at around 6.00 am , while the vincas are still preparing to open up their petals, to show their beauty to the humans as well as the insects, bees and the butterflies.
And the star of the day. One of my best clicked images from the vincas, using the rather weak LED flash with which my Nokia is equipped.
The end of this flowery tale of the vincas was rather sad. Since these were hybrids, none of the two plants bore any fruits and seeds, as opposite to the regular pink vinca, which bears the fruits and if left uncollected, the following season, you may end up with many of those vincas.

HOT 97.1 SVG » 10 Years on Top » Tekashi 6ix9ine Fired His Entire Team!
Tekashi 6ix9ine has claimed he's given his entire team the sack and is now going about the music industry alone.
The 22-year-old rapper, real name Daniel Hernandez, also said he's cancelled the dates on his upcoming US tour and the any shows not booked personally through him aren't the real deal."I fired everybody on my team," the rainbow-haired rapper said in an Instagram video. "I don't got no manager, I got no booking agent, no PR, no publicist, I don't got nobody on my team – it's just me.' The Brooklyn native stated that he will not longer be signing contracts or inking deals, and warned venues not to fall victim of fake bookings.
"I'm not signing no contracts, they don't got nothing to do with me," he said. "Whoever is booking shows for Tekashi 6ix9ine is stealing your money. "If you not on the phone with me, do not book that show, cause it's not me. I don't care who you used to see me with, they no longer around," The rapper rounded off his rant by plugging his upcoming album, 'Dummy Boy', which is set to drop next week.

Wildlife in Athenry – Wild Mink
Home | The Athenry Journal (1995–2004) | Magazine | Chronicle | Education, Environment
Featured image compliments of www.irishexaminer.com
Have you ever seen a mink in the wild? If the answer is no, you have not missed much. He is not pretty to look at, bad tempered and a deadly killer of small animals, fish, frogs, ducks, poultry, water birds of all kinds that frequent rivers and lakes. Remember earlier this year when a good number of swans were kept in a shed near the docks in Galway after an oil spillage at the Claddagh basin. Well, a single mink got in and killed a number of them. This goes to show, for a small animal, how ferocious they are. They will kill for the hell of it. They may also be partial to a bit of lamb.
I have seen three mink in the wild in recent times. One swimming in the river near the bridge below the post office here in Athenry about two years ago. When two young boys started to shout on seeing him, he immediately started to screech. I think it would be fair to say that minks are the least welcome of all foreign species living here but not native to this country. Even though they are unwelcome, their pelts, were once highly prized and sought after for the making of mink coats. Hence the reason for their introduction to this country to be bred and reared in captivity and then killed for their fur.
I once lived near a mink farm, which was situated near a chicken hatchery and this meant a steady supply of reject day-old chicks to feed the mink at little cost. The only thing was that the deformed chicks were thrown into the containers while mostly alive, and then fed to the mink. Some people did not look kindly to that practice. However, the trade flourished while ladies thought it was the height of fashion to sport a mink coat and men thought that such a present of a mink coat would surely win the lady's affection. Whether the intentions were honourable, or otherwise, were often the subject of debate.
Minks are long slim members of the weasel family usually black, or dark brown in colour. They were prolific breeders in captivity, when handled carefully, and left to their own devices at crucial times. Then when the market declined for clothing made from animal pelts, some breeders let the mink free, others escaped, and now we have a serious problem. I hope they will not breed as well in the wild as they did in captivity, and I don't think much research has been done on that subject, only time will tell. If they do breed successfully in the wild, then our wild life on land and water, as well as our farmyard friends are in trouble.
Minks like to live near rivers, streams and lakes, and I'm told that where they have established themselves, the wildlife is fast disappearing. Some gun clubs have been trapping them for years and I believe they can be trapped easily enough in baited cages, near rivers or streams. This method is more humane than using steel traps. What is done with the trapped animal is another days work. Perhaps you could try at making a mink hat for yourself, and hope when attending Church, Chapel, Meeting House, Hurling Matches, or Marts you might not suffer from taunts like "give the animals back their skins". Some years ago, people wearing clothing made from animal pelts were regularly subjected to such taunts and this as well as the activities of the animal rights groups, brought about the end of the fur coats. Maybe some still exists in wardrobes guarded, by mothballs, and donned again in the privacy of the bedroom, in the moments of nostalgia.
However, on a more serious note to combat the mink problem people should think about getting a cross dog. We are all aware about the advice given on a regular basis years ago to the anxious fathers and mothers with young daughters, not yet of marriageable age to get a cross dog, to keep marauding males at bay. However, I think that the proverbial cross dog, has outlived his usefulness for the purpose aforesaid. But of course, a cross dog has other uses, apologies to Postmen and Guards and proved very effective in keeping predators such as foxes, badgers, pine martens and weasels at bay.
It is said that the mink is a very ferocious fighter and cats or easy-going dogs would have no chance against him. I, however, believe that a good cross dog would be the ideal protection around the farmyard, as they have proved their worth in the past, and still are around the house or farmyard. By the way, should you come face to face with a mink in narrow corners, don't be fooled by his size, call the cross dog, and don't put your finger at risk, as you will need them to go about your daily tasks, to open your Christmas presents, or raise a glass to propose a toast. Now, when you sit down to your Christmas dinner this year, and gaze, be it with a clear or jaundiced eye, good appetite, bad appetite, or no appetite at all, don't forget to thank the Lord for what you are about to receive. It might be no harm either to say a silent word of thanks that our friend the mink didn't get around to depriving you of it.
Merry Christmas to one and all!
Yours in Nature

Map(ing)
Feb 17 2017 - 11:00am
This exhibition marks the tenth anniversary of the biennial Map(ing) — Multiple Artists Printing (Indigenous and Native Geographies) — project and includes 28 prints created by Native American and Indigenous artists who work collaboratively with graduate students from Arizona State University's School of Art printmaking program. Together the artists and students create limited-edition prints by using the uniqueness of the medium as a vehicle for visual communication, sharing their culture, place, language and identity. The artists come from traditional and non-traditional artmaking perspectives and work with a range of media including painting, sculpture, weaving, beadwork and ceramics. During the collaborative printmaking experience, conversation flourishes between the artists and the students.
All of the works are in ASU Art Museum's collection. Map(ing) was founded by Mary Hood, project director and associate professor in the School of Art. Hood is an internationally known printmaker, and a selection of her etchings are included in this exhibition.
Map(ing) is part of ASU Art Museum's Spotlight series, bringing attention to innovative projects in the arts and design by ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts faculty and students.
Supported by an NEA ArtWorks grant, ASU School of Art, ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts and the Evelyn Smith Exhibition Fund at ASU Art Museum.

This CG is really nice. If you enjoy fishing, boating and swimming, in a quite atmosphere, this is the place to go. We take our children and grandchildren. They have boat rentals, camper rentals and tent sites. The bathhouse is very clean. The camp store has a grill and the food is good and reasonable. The owners are super nice and always there with a helping hand. They truly made our first camping trip in our new camper, an enjoyable and stress free event. We go there as much as possible. Our four year old grandson even caught his first 3 lb. catfish off the dock. The river is beautiful and you see lots of eagles and other wild life. I highly recommend this campground. We camped at Riverside Campground in a Motorhome.

Title: Dr Fleck Fighting Fleck Typhus
Contributor(s): Weisz, George M (author)
Handle Link: https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/7356
Abstract: These comments contribute to the debate on Dr Ludwik Fleck, published in this journal in 2008, regarding his identification of typhus antigen in urine and its use in the preparation of a vaccine (Amsterdamska et al., 2008; Hedfors, 2008). As I understand it, Dr Fleck was on one side dismissed with various epithets and his research considered as poorly done, meaningless and with doubtful ethical value (Hedfors, 2007, 2008). It was alleged that Fleck had not created a workable vaccine and that his work had not led to any lasting or future benefit or drawn any followers. It was also my impression that his defenders (Amsterdamska et al., 2008) have accused his detractor of numerous inexact statements, illustrating serious shortcoming of historical scholarship and unsubstantiated accusations of participation in Nazi experiments. The debate is unpleasant to read, sought no common ground and had no satisfactory resolution. It is my wish to throw light from another angle on this debate and demonstrate a very positive outcome for humanity. The present commentary focuses on Fleck's scientific contributions while in the ghetto rather than on his wartime activities in Auschwitz and Buchenwald. Can this 'academic' debate be clarified after so many years? Can Fleck's name be cleared and his work accepted as developing a useful hypothesis? A brief overview of Fleck's career might benefit readers who are less familiar with the specifics of this debate.

NES Play Action Football is a football video game developed by Tose and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was released in 1990 in North America only. The game was also ported to the Game Boy as Play Action Football, and received a follow up on the Super NES titled Super Play Action Football in 1992 in North America only. It was released on the Wii Virtual Console in North America on September 10, 2007. The Virtual Console version was available as a Club Nintendo bonus download from August 19 to September 2, 2012.

Overview
NES Play Action Football allows players to choose from eight teams from various cities. For licensing reasons, the original game features only the city rather than the actual name of each NFL team and only the surnames and numbers (although a comprehensive set down to various position-specific levels on each depth chart) of actual players that were currently playing for the corresponding NFL team during the 1989 NFL season: Los Angeles, Denver, San Francisco, Washington, Miami, New York, Chicago, and Houston. In the Virtual Console re-release, the city names are replaced by country names, so Los Angeles is Japan, San Francisco is Italy, Miami is Mexico, Chicago is China, Denver is Korea, Washington is England, New York is Brazil, and Houston is U.S.A.

The game used an isometric view, presenting the game at an angle to make it appear 3-D, and the game allowed a very large number of moving objects (all the players) to be on screen at the same time. Another feature was the use of primitive digitized voices for such actions as "Touchdown!" or "First down!" and "Ready! Set! Hut, hut.." before the play begins. At the end of each game, Nintendo Power mascot character Nester appears as a commentator, announcing who wins and who loses.

The game was one of the few games that supported the NES Satellite and NES Four Score four controller adapters. To allow teammates to select plays without showing the competitors, it included a NES Play Action Football 4 player play card. The teammates could point to the plays they were going to pick on the card, and then enter the combination on-screen without the opposition knowing.

\section{Introduction}
 Throughout this paper we let $G$ be a finite group and $k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. One of the important problems in modular representation theory is to clarify the Loewy structure of a block $B$ of the group algebra $kG$. Several papers have tried to classify the blocks with the property that the $n$ th power of the Jacobson radical $J(B)$ of $B$ becomes a zero ideal for $n=1, 2, 3, 4$ (see \cite{O} and \cite{KKS}). On the other hand, $B$ has full defect and is isomorphic to the principal block of $kG$ if $B$ has a non-zero central ideal, that is, a non-zero ideal contained in the center of $B$ (see {\cite[Proposition 4.1]{Ku}}), and it is well-known that the structure of the principal block correlates strongly with the property of $G$. In \cite{Ku}, K\"{u}lshammer has proved the following theorem:

 \begin{quotation}
\ \textit{$J(B)$ is central, but not a zero ideal if and only if $B$ has a 1-dimensional module and $G$ is a $p$-nilpotent group with non-trivial abelian Sylow $p$-subgroups.}
 \end{quotation}

The main purpose of this paper is to improve this result. More precisely, we characterize the blocks with the property that the square of the radical is a non-zero central ideal. Moreover, we determine the blocks with the property that the cube of the radical becomes central when $p$ is odd.

\section{Lemmas}
 In this section, let $A$ be an arbitrary finite-dimensional $k$-algebra with center $Z(A)$ and Jacobson radical $J(A)$. We denote by $L(A)$ the Loewy length of $A$ and we define the commutator subspace of $A$ by
 \[[A, A] := \{ xy-yx \mid x, y \in A\}.\]
Then the following holds.

\begin{lem}\label{Lem1}{\cite[Remark 2.2]{Ku}} $A[A, A]$ is an ideal of $A$.
\end{lem}

Here, we moreover assume that $A$ is a symmetric algebra with symmetrizing linear form $\lambda : A \to k$. For a subspace $X$ of $A$,

\[ X^{\perp} := \{a \in A \mid \lambda(aX)=0 \}\] \

is a subspace of $A$, $(X^{\perp})^{\perp}=X$ and $\dim X + \dim X^{\perp} = \dim A$. If $I$ is an ideal of $A$, then so is $I^{\perp}$. Moreover, it is known that $[A, A]^{\perp}=Z(A)$ and the socle $S(A)$ of $A$ equals $J(A)^{\perp}$.

 We now prove a lemma about the central ideals of $A$ and the dimensions of $A$-modules.(In this paper, an \textit{$A$-module} always means a finite-generated right $A$-module.) A part of this lemma is due to K\"{u}lshammer {\cite[Remark 2.2 (ii)]{Ku}}.

\begin{lem}\label{Lem2} Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional symmetric $k$-algebra. Then the following are equivalent:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $A$ has a non-zero central ideal, that is, a non-zero ideal contained in $Z(A)$;
\item $A$ has a 1-dimensional module;
\item $A \neq A[A, A]$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{lem}

\begin{proof}
By {\cite[Remark 2.2 (ii)]{Ku}}, (1) implies (2). Suppose (2) holds. Then there exists an algebra homomorphism $\rho : A \to k$ afforded by the 1-dimensional module. Since the kernel $\ker \rho$ of $\rho$ is a proper ideal of $A$ contains $[A, A]$, we have $A[A, A] \subseteq \ker \rho \neq A$ and (3) holds. If (3) holds, then $[A, A] \subseteq A[A, A] \neq A$. Hence $0=A^{\perp}\neq (A[A, A])^{\perp} \subseteq [A, A]^{\perp} =Z(A)$ and we are in (1) by Lemma \ref{Lem1}.
\end{proof}

 In the following, we consider the central ideals in group algebras. As mentioned in the previous section, let $kG$ be the group algebra of a finite group $G$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Then $kG$ and its blocks are symmetric algebras. In the next lemma, we denote by $G'$ the commutator subgroup of $G$ and by ${X}^{+}$ the sum of all elements in a subset $X$ of $G$.

\begin{lem}\label{Lem3}{\cite[Lemma 2.4]{W}} For an ideal $I$ in a block $B$ of $kG$, the following are equivalent:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $I$ is central;
\item $xg=x$ for all $x \in I$ and $g \in G'$;
\item $I \subseteq B \cdot (G')^{+}$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{lem}

\begin{proof}
This follows from {\cite[Chapter III, Lemma 13.2]{Ka}}.
\end{proof}

 By K\"{u}lshammer {\cite[Proposition 4.1]{Ku}}, a block $B$ of $kG$ has full defect and is isomorphic to the principal block of $kG$ whenever $B$ has a non-zero central ideal. In this case, the property of $G$  as a group is affected by the structure of $B$ as an algebra. In the proposition below, we see the relationship among the Jacobson radical $J(B)$ of $B$, a Sylow $p$-subgroup $P$ of $G$ and the focal subgroup $P^{*}:=P \cap G'$.

\begin{prop}\label{Prop4} Let $n$ be a positive integer, $B$ a block of $kG$, $P$ a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$, and set $P^{*}=P \cap G'$. If $|P^{*}| \neq 1$ and $J(B)^{n}$ is a non-zero central ideal in $B$, then $L(k(P/P^{*})) \le n$.
\end{prop}

\begin{proof}
Put $I:=kG[kG, kG]$. Then $kG/I \simeq k(G/G')$ (see {\cite[Section 4]{Ku}}). Let $A$ be a block of $kG$ and assume $A \neq A[A, A]$. Then, by Lemma \ref{Lem2}, $A$ and $B$ are isomorphic to the principal block of $kG$ and $J(A)^{n}$ is a non-zero central ideal of $A$. Hence $J(A)^{n}$ is contained in $A \cdot (G')^{+}$ (see Lemma \ref{Lem3}). Since the augmentation of $(G')^{+}$ is $|G'|=0$ in $k$, $J(A)^{n} \subseteq I$ (see {\cite[Section 4]{Ku}}) and thus $J(kG)^{n} \subseteq I$. Since $kG/I$ has Jacobson radical $J(kG)+I/I$, this implies $L(k(G/G')) \le n$. Since $G/G'$ is an abelian group with Sylow $p$-subgroup $P/P^{*}$, the claim follows.
\end{proof}

The Loewy length of $k(P/P^{*})$ is completely determined by the type of $P/P^{*}$. In particular, if $P/P^{*}$ has order $p^{r}$, then $r(p-1)+1 \le L(k(P/P^{*}))$ with equality if and only if $P/P^{*}$ is elementary.

 We next consider the covering of blocks.

 \begin{lem}\label{Lem5} Let $n$ be a positive integer, $B$  a block of $kG$ and $b$ a block of $kH$ covered by $B$, where $H$ is a normal subgroup of $G$.
 \begin{enumerate}
 \item If $J(B)^{n}$ is a central ideal of $B$, then $J(b)^{n}$ is a central ideal of $b$.
 \item {\cite[(4.1) Lemma]{KM}} If $|G:H|$ is not divisible by $p$, then $L(B)=L(b)$.
 \end{enumerate}
 \end{lem}

\begin{proof}
Remark that $J(kH) \subseteq J(kG)$ since $H$ is normal in $G$. Let $f$ be a primitive idempotent in $b$. Then $fb$ is a principal indecomposable $b$-module. Since $B$ covers $b$, $fb$ is isomorphic to a direct summand of $eB\downarrow_{H}$ for some primitive idempotent $e$ in $B$ and $eBJ(kH)^{n} \subseteq eBJ(kG)^{n} \subseteq J(B)^{n}$. Since we can identify $fJ(b)^{n}=fbJ(kH)^{n}$ with a $kH$-submodule of $eBJ(kH)^{n}$, $G' \cap H$ acts trivially on $fJ(b)^{n}$ by Lemma \ref{Lem3}. Hence we have $J(b)^{n} = \bigoplus fJ(b)^{n} \subseteq Z(b)$ as $H' \subseteq G' \cap H$.
\end{proof}

 We next consider the Loewy structures of principal indecomposable modules. For a $B$-module $U$, we denote by $L(U)$ the Loewy length of $U$.

\begin{prop}\label{Prop6} Let $B$ be a block of $kG$ and $b$ a block of $kG'$ covered by $B$. Moreover, let $U_{0}$ be the principal indecomposable $kG'$-module afforded by the trivial module and $U$ be an arbitrary $b$-module. If $J(B)^{n}$ is a non-zero central ideal of $B$ for some positive integer $n$, then
\begin{equation*}
L(U) \le \begin{cases}
                  n+1 & (U \simeq U_{0}) \\
                  n & (U \not\simeq U_{0})
             \end{cases}
\end{equation*}
In particular, if $|G:G'|$ is not divisible by $p$, then $L(U_{0})=n+1$.
\end{prop}

\begin{proof}
Set $J=J(b)$. Let $f$ be a primitive idempotent in $b$ such that $fb \simeq U$. By the proof of Lemma \ref{Lem5}, $G'$ acts trivially on $fJ^{n}$. This implies $fJ^{n}=0$, or $fJ^{n}$ is isomorphic to the trivial $kG'$-module. Hence the first claim follows. The second claim is due to Lemma \ref{Lem5} (2) and $n < L(B)$.
\end{proof}

 At the end of this section, we consider the case that $G$ is a direct product of two groups.

\begin{lem}\label{Lem7} Assume $G=H \times Q$, where $H$ is a subgroup of $G$ and $Q$ is a $p$-subgroup of $G$. Let $B$ be a block of $kG$ and $b$ a block of $kH$ covered by $B$. Moreover, $n$ and $r$ are positive integers such that $n \ge r$. If $J(B)^{n}$ is a non-zero central ideal of $B$ and $J(kQ)^{r}$ is not a zero ideal, then $J(b)^{n-r}$ is central in $b$.
\end{lem}

\begin{proof}
The block idempotents of $B$ and $b$ are the same since $Q$ is a $p$-group. By \cite{L} or \cite{M}, $J(kG)^{n}=\sum_{i=0}^{n}J(kH)^{n-i}J(kQ)^{i} \supseteq J(kH)^{n-r} J(kQ)^{r} \supseteq J(kH)^{n-r} \cdot kQ^{+}$ since $S(kQ)=kQ^{+}$. Hence we obtain $J(b)^{n-r} \cdot kQ^{+} \subseteq J(B)^{n} \subseteq Z(B)$. Let $x \in J(b)^{n-r}$ and $y \in b$. Then $xyQ^{+}=xQ^{+}y=yxQ^{+}$ and $(xy-yx)Q^{+}=0$. Since $G=H \times Q$, this implies $xy-yx=0$. Therefore we deduce $J(b)^{n-r} \subseteq Z(b)$ as claimed.
\end{proof}

\section{Main results}

We prove two main theorems of this paper. In the first theorem below, we remark that it is known that $J(B)^{2}$ is a zero ideal if and only if $|D| \le 2$, where $D$ is a defect group of $B$.

\begin{thm}\label{Thm8} Let $B$ be a block of $kG$. Then $J(B)^{2}$ is a non-zero central ideal of $B$ if and only if $B$ has a 1-dimensional module and one of the following holds:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $G/O_{p'}(G)$ is an abelian $p$-group of order greater than $2$;
\item $p=2$ and $G/O_{2'}(G)$ is isomorphic to the alternating group of degree $4$;
\item $p=3$ and $G/O_{3'}(G)$ is isomorphic to the symmetric group of degree $3$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{thm}

\begin{proof}
Set $\bar{G}=G/O_{p'}(G)$. If (1), (2) or (3) occurs, then $B \simeq k\bar{G}$. In (1), $0 \neq J(B)^{2} \subseteq B=Z(B)$. In (2) and (3), $L(B)=3$ and all the irreducible $B$-modules have $k$-dimensions 1. Since $\dim S(B) \cap Z(B)$ equals the number of irreducible $B$-modules and $\dim S(B)$ equals the sum of the $k$-dimensions of irreducible $B$-modules, we have $0 \neq J(B)^{2} \subseteq S(B) \subseteq Z(B)$.

 In the following, put $J=J(B)$ and $S=S(B)$, and let $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ to prove the converse. We may assume that $B$ is the principal block of $kG$ by {\cite[Proposition 4.1]{Ku}} and that $G=\bar{G}$ since the canonical map $G \to \bar{G}$ induces an isomorphism between the principal blocks of $kG$ and $k\bar{G}$.  If $p$ does not divide $|G'|$, then $G$ is an abelian $p$-group and (1) holds. Thus we suppose $p$ divides $|G'|$. Let $e$ be a primitive idempotent of $B$. If $eJ^{2}=0$, then $eB$ is irreducible or $eB/eJ \simeq eS=eJ$ since $B$ is symmetric. Hence we have $|P| \le 2$, a contradiction. Thus $eJ^{2} \neq 0$ and $eS \subseteq eJ^{2} \subseteq Z(B)$. From {\cite[Remark 2.2 (ii)]{Ku}}, this implies the $k$-dimension of $eB/eJ \simeq eS$ is 1. Therefore all the irreducible $B$-modules are 1-dimensional and $G' \subseteq P \triangleleft G$ (see the first half of the proof of {\cite[Theorem 4.2]{Ku}}). In particular, $G$ is $p$-solvable and $B = kG$. Since $p$ divides $|G'|$ and $P \triangleleft G$, $J(kP)^{4} \subseteq J^{4} \subseteq (B \cdot (G')^{+})^{2}=0$ and this yields that $P$ is abelian (see {\cite[Proposition 3.1 and Corollary 3.8]{KKS}}) and that $G \neq P$. Hence we can write $P=G' \times C_{P}(H)$ and $G=PH=G'H \times C_{P}(H)$ for some non-trivial $p'$-subgroup $H$ of $G$ by the Schur-Zassenhaus theorem. We now suppose $G' \neq P$. Then $J(kC_{P}(H)) \neq 0$ and it follows from Lemma \ref{Lem7} that $J(k(G'H))$ is a non-zero central ideal in $k(G'H)$. Hence $G'H$ is a $p$-group by {\cite[Corollary 4.5]{Ku}}, but this is a contradiction. Therefore we deduce $G'=P$ and this means $L(kP)=3$ by Proposition \ref{Prop6}. Hence $P$ is a Klein four group and (2) holds, or $P$ is cyclic of order $3$ and (3) holds.
\end{proof}

The following is a corollary of K\"{u}lshammer {\cite[Theorem 4.3]{Ku}} and Theorem \ref{Thm8}.

\begin{cor}\label{Cor9} Let $B$ be a block of $kG$.
\begin{enumerate}
\item {\cite[Lemma 2.2]{W}} If $J(B)$ is commutative, then $J(B)^{2}$ is central.
\item $J(B)^{2}$ is central, but $J(B)$ is not commutative if and only if $B$ has a 1-dimensional module and one of the following holds:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $p=2$ and $G/O_{2'}(G)$ is isomorphic to the alternating group of degree $4$;
\item $p=3$ and $G/O_{3'}(G)$ is isomorphic to the symmetric group of degree $3$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
\end{cor}

In the last theorem below, we consider the blocks with the property that the cube of the Jacobson radical becomes a central ideal when $p$ is odd. Remark that the blocks with radical cube zero were classified in Okuyama \cite{O} (see also {\cite[Proposition 3.1]{KKS}}).

\begin{thm}\label{Thm10} Assume $p \ge 3$ and let $B$ be a block of $kG$.Then $J(B)^{3}$ is a non-zero central ideal of $B$ if and only if $B$ has a 1-dimensional module and $G$ is a $p$-nilpotent group with an abelian Sylow $p$-subgroup of order greater than $4$.
\end{thm}

\begin{proof}
We may assume that $B$ is the principal block of $kG$ by Lemma \ref{Lem2} and {\cite[Proposition 4.1]{Ku}}. Moreover, we may assume $O_{p'}(G)=1$ as mentioned in the proof of Theorem \ref{Thm8}. If $G$ is an abelian $p$-group of order greater that $4$, then $B=kG$ and $0 \neq J(B)^{3} \subseteq B=Z(B)$. In order to prove the converse, assume $0 \neq J(B)^{3} \subseteq Z(B)$. In the following, we suppose $p$ divides $|G'|$ and deduce a contradiction. By {\cite[Theorem 1.2]{Ko}} and Proposition \ref{Prop6}, $|G:G'|$ is divisible by $p$. Hence we have from Proposition \ref{Prop4} that $p=3$ and $|G:G'|_{3}=3$. Moreover, $|G'|_{3}=3$ by \cite{O} (see again {\cite[Theorem 1.2]{Ko}} and Proposition \ref{Prop6}). Hence $G$ has an abelian Sylow $3$-subgroup $P$ of order $9$. Let $b$ be the principal block of $kO^{3'}(G)$. From Lemma \ref{Lem5}, $J(b)^{3}$ is a non-zero central ideal in $b$. By Fong \cite{F} (see {\cite[Proposition 4.3]{KY}}), we can write $O^{3'}(G)=L \times Q$, where $L$ is a direct product of some simple groups such that $L=L'$ and $Q$ is a $3$-group. By {\cite[Theorem 1.2]{Ko}} and Proposition \ref{Prop6}, we have $|Q| \neq 1$. Hence $J(kQ)^{2} \neq 0$ and this implies $|L|=1$ by Lemma \ref{Lem7} and {\cite[Corollary 4.5]{Ku}}. Therefore $P$ is normal in $G$ and $B = kG$. By the Schur-Zassenhaus theorem, we can write $P=P^{*} \times C_{P}(H)$ and $G=PH=P^{*}H \times C_{P}(H)$ for some $p'$-subgroup $H$ of $G$, where $P^{*}:=P \cap G'$.As proved above, $P^{*} \neq P$. Hence $J(kC_{P}(H))^{2} \neq 0$ and it follows from Lemma \ref{Lem7} that $J(k(P^{*}H))$ is a non-zero central ideal. Thus $|H|=1$ by {\cite[Corollary 4.5]{Ku}}, but this is a contradiction. Therefore we deduce that $|G'|$ is not divisible by $p$, $G$ is an abelian $p$-group and the claim follows.
\end{proof}

 If $p=2$ and $J(B)^{3}$ is a non-zero central ideal, then we can give an upper bound of the order of a Sylow $2$-subgroup of $G$ by the same way above, but can not determine the structure of $G$. We don't know if $G$ is $2$-solvable.

TWE announces completion of Château Lanessan acquisition
Treasury Wine Estates Ltd (TWE), one of the world's leading premium wine companies, today confirmed the completion of its majority acquisition of Château Lanessan, one of the oldest estates in Bordeaux, France. The acquisition is the latest step in bolstering Penfolds multi-regional luxury wine portfolio, doubling the existing production capacity for Penfolds in France.
19 October 2022 MEDIA RELEASE
The purchase includes 390 hectares of land with 80 hectares of Haut-Médoc-appellated vineyards planted with typical Bordeaux varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, the historic Château Lanessan designed by renowned Bordeaux architect Henri Duphot and built in 1878, Château Lachesnaye designed by architect Louis-Michel Garros in 1883, as well as the winery and ancillary buildings. The property was founded by Bordeaux wine merchant Jean Delbos in 1793, with 9 generations of the Bouteiller family serving as its custodians.
Reinforcing TWE's multi-regional sourcing strategy, the acquisition also enhances Penfolds position as a global luxury icon. The reception from critics and consumers for Penfolds wines sourced from multiple regions has been particularly strong, including those made in partnership with Dourthe Bordeaux, the FWT 585 made at Bordeaux's Cambon de la Pelouse, the ongoing collaboration with Champagne house Thiénot and the latest wine from California's Napa Valley.
Tom King, Managing Director of Penfolds, commented "We look forward to collaborating with the Bouteiller family and winemakers to enhance the Château's production capability and reputation for quality wine, while also deepening our relationships with the local Bordeaux community. The region's winemaking traditions complement the quality and innovation that Penfolds is known for, and we have ambitious plans to invest in the historic property and welcome wine lovers to experience the region's unique winemaking traditions."
Kerrin Petty, Chief Supply Officer for Treasury Wine Estates, said "The majority acquisition of Château Lanessan is an exciting addition to the Treasury Wine Estates portfolio in Europe. Increasing our production capacity with such an historic site will support our future growth plans as we respond to consumer demand for wines across our portfolio of brands, including Penfolds."
A spokesperson from the Bouteiller family said "Avec ce projet je suis serein, rassuré par les qualités humaines rencontrées chez TWE, confiant dans leur vision d'avenir pour Lanessan" ("With this project I am peaceful, reassured by the human qualities met at TWE, confident in their vision of the future for Lanessan").
In addition to producing Penfolds wine, the winery will continue to produce wine under its Château Lanessan, Les Caleches de Lanessan, and Château de Sainte Gemme labels, which will be distributed through existing channels. More information about the property's restoration and development will be available in 2023.

Legionella Control With Chlorine Dioxide Legionnaires' Disease is a potentially fatal form of pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria which live in biofilms in water systems and needs to be controlled to protect the public from infection. Treatment with Chlorine Dioxide is one of the most popular methods of Legionella Control and Activ-Ox is one of the easiest and most effective Chlorine DIoxide treatment on the market.
Legionella Control & Legionnaires' Disease Prevention with Chlorine Dioxide
Chlorine Dioxide has been shown to be extremely effective in the control of legionella bacteria and the prevention of Legionnaires' Disease and Feedwater' patented Activ-ox® system is the easiest and safest way to treat drinking, domestic and cooling water with chlorine dioxide.
Legionnaires' Disease is a potentially fatal form of pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria which live in biofilms in water systems. Many conventional biocides are ineffective in controlling legionella and are unable to penetrate or disperse biofilms. Chlorine Dioxide, or ClO2 for short, has been shown to be extremely effective at penetrating and killing biofilms and the Legionella bacteria that they harbour.
The Journal of Applied Microbiology reports that:
"Chlorine dioxide…was identified as the most efficient [continuous treatment] for controlling L. pneumophila in a domestic water system.
An investigation carried out by BSRIA into the treatment of hot and cold water systems using Chlorine Dioxide it was shown to be more effective than the traditional temperature regime in controlling both biofilms and legionella bacteria in model domestic water systems. (BSRIA Technical Note TN 2/98).
Contact Us About Legionella Control With ClO2
Why is Activ-Ox® the best Chlorine Dioxide System for Preventing Legionnaires' Disease?
So what makes Activ-Ox® different to other chlorine dioxide systems?
Legionella Control with Chlorine Dioxide is universally accepted as a very effective way to prevent Legionnaires' Disease – but you can't just buy a drum of chlorine dioxide. It is, in fact, an unstable gas which has to be generated at point of use and dissolved in water to be able to work. Traditionally, this meant that you needed what is called a chlorine dioxide generator, which is a complex dosing system, expensive to buy and operate, very unreliable and which uses hazardous chemicals. A traditional ClO2 generator is, in essence, a mini chemical production plant which should only really be used by a competent operator, but unfortunately, these specialist items of equipment are still being specified for all kinds of applications for which they are not suited.
When we saw the potential for chlorine dioxide to control Legionella in buildings and cooling water in order to help prevent Legionnaires' Disease, we recognised the need for a safe, efficient process for generating ClO2 that could be used by the non-specialist.
So we developed the patented Activ-Ox® process which enables us to produce an incredible 95% chlorine dioxide yield instantly, dissolved directly in the water to be treated, using low hazard chemicals. Being able to produce ClO2 instantly, on demand, has enabled us to produce a much simpler and safer dosing system because simplicity and safety go hand in hand.
Feedwater has been helping prevent Legionnaires' Disease for over 30 years and supplying Activ-Ox® chlorine dioxide dosing systems for well over a decade to control biofilms and legionella bacteria in cooling water, domestic water, hot tubs and spa pools. We produce a range of dosing systems for building services and industrial applications including our new Activ-Ox® 2100 Eco system with which we aim to bring the unique biocidal properties of ClO2 to the smaller user such as nursing homes, office blocks and smaller hotels who need an effective strategy for Legionnaires' Disease prevention but who have traditionally been put off by cost or safety concerns. We believe it is the simplest, safest and most cost-effective ClO2 dosing system on the market.
We supply a range of Activ-Ox® chlorine dioxide chemicals designed to control biofilms and legionella bacteria and help prevent Legionnaires' disease. These include a special ClO2 foam cleaner, an Activ-Ox® Spa and hot-tub biofilm cleaner and a combined shower head cleaner and disinfectant.
