Honey the way it is meant to be, right from the bees.
In North Portland, just a few blocks from the St. Johns' town center, you will find Asches Urban Honey, a family business that specializes in sweet local honey from our own organically tended honey bees. Proprietors, John and Mary Ann Aschenbrenner, help ensure honey bee health by leaving plenty of hard-earned nectar on the hives after the late summer harvest. We allow our hives to re-queen naturally and occasionally capture swarms to replenish hives that perish.
On this website you will find videos of swarms and the bee dance, recipes using honey as a sweetener or healing agent, information about apitherapy, also known as bee-venom therapy, and much more. Enjoy our website!
Asches Urban Honey is bottled straight from the comb without filters, heating or pasteurization of any kind. Thank you to the volunteers who come out, braving angry bees, to help with the annual honey harvest.
This year, 2015, Asches Urban Honey will be available on Saturdays beginning September 19th.
This series of three swarm videos were captured on April 18, 2015. The first video is when the swarm is fully flying, the second when they are settling down and the third, recorded half an hour after the first, shows a bee dance. Feel free to enjoy these and share. Closed captioning is provided.

Sarah Kirsch (rodným jménem Ingrid Hella Irmelinde Bernstein; 16. dubna 1935, Limlingerode, Durynsko – 5. května 2013, Heide, Šlesvicko-Holštýnsko) byla významná německá básnířka. V roce 1996 se stala laureátkou ceny Georga Büchnera.

Život
Narodila se původně jako Ingrid Bernstein. Roku 1958 ukončila magisterské studium biologie v Halle a o dva roky později si z protestu vůči antisemitickým postojům svého otce změnila jméno na Sarah Kirsch. V letech 1963–1965 studovala na Lipském literárním institutu Johannese R. Bechera. Poté, co se postavila za východoněmeckého písničkáře Wolfa Biermanna, byla vyloučena jak ze Sjednocené socialistické strany Německa (SED), tak i ze Spolku východoněmeckých spisovatelů. V roce 1977 se přestěhovala z NDR do BRD.

V letech 1960–1968 byla vdaná za básníka Rainera Kirsche, s nímž se po deseti letech (pozn. známost je datována od roku 1958) vztahu rozešla.

V roce 1969 se jí narodil také syn, Moritz Kirsch, otcem byl německý spisovatel Karl Mickel, jehož vychovávala sama, neboť krátce poté, co odešla do západního Německa, obdržela stipendium ve Ville Massimo v Itálii. Moritz Kirsch se poprvé setkal se svým otcem v roce 1987, to mu bylo již 18 let.

Zemřela ve věku 78 let po krátké těžké nemoci v Heide.

Publikační činnost (výběr)
V rozhovoru s německou básnířkou Marion Poschmannovou roku 2005 uvedla, že nepíše žádnou přírodní lyriku (tzv. 'Naturlyrik") a že u ní hrají v lyrické tvorbě důležitou roli optické vjemy.

The act of June 28, 1906, entitled, An Act for 'the Division of the Lands and Funds of the Osage Indians in Oklahoma Territory, and for Other Purposes,' in its 9th section provided, among other things, for a tribal council composed of eight persons. The members of this council were to be chosen at an election whose date was fixed, and which was to be conducted in the manner directed by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, provision being made for the biennial recurrence of such election, and consequently for a two years' term for the members of the council. The provision, however, creating the council, contained this express qualification: 'And the Secretary of the Interior is hereby authorized to remove from the council any member or members thereof for good cause, to be by him determined.' 34 Stat. at L. 545, chap. 3572. On January 2d, 1913, the Secretary of the Interior, in the exertion of the power thus conferred, by a formal order removed 'each and every member of the council.' It was declared in the order that the power exercised was exerted for good cause, and this statement was followed by a specification of various acts of misfeasance or nonfeasance, which it was deemed rendered the removal necessary. Among those who were thus removed was A. H. Brown, the relator, who, shortly after the action of the Secretary that is, in February, 1913, commenced proceedings by mandamus to vacate the order on the ground that it had been made without previous notice, and without affording an opportunity to be heard and to defend and therefore was not authorized by the statute, and, if it was authorized, was void because repugnant to the due process clause of the 5th Amendment.
The trial court denied the relief, and the court of appeals of the district, in affirming such action, held that the statute conferred upon the Secretary power to remove without necessity of notice or hearing; and moreover, that as so construed the statute was not in conflict with the Constitution (40 App. D. C. 533). This application for the allowance of a writ of error is before us because of the reference of the same to the court by the chief justice, to whom it was primarily presented.
The asserted right to the writ is based upon the third, fifth, and sixth paragraphs of § 250 of the Judicial Code: the third conferring the right to review 'in cases involving the construction or application of the Constitution of the United States, or the constitutionality of any law of the United States;' the fifth giving such right 'in cases in which the validity of any authority exercised under the United States, or the existence or scope of any power or duty of an officer of the United States, is drawn in question;' and the sixth also giving the right to review in cases 'in which the construction of any law of the United States is drawn in question by the defendant.' [36 Stat. at L. 1159, chap. 231, U. S. Comp. Stat. Supp. 1911, p. 231.] On the face of the record from a merely formal point of view it is apparent that the case as presented is embraced within both the third and fifth paragraphs. But it is elementary that where the jurisdiction depends upon the presence of controversies of a particular character, or the existence of prescribed questions or conditions, that substance, and not mere form, is the test of power, and therefore even in a case where the requisite for jurisdiction formally exists, the right to review does not obtain where it is evident that the formal questions, as presented by the record, are so wanting in substance as to cause them to be frivolous and devoid of all merit. Consolidated Turnp. Co. v. Norfolk & O. V. R. Co. 228 U. S. 596, 600, 57 L. ed. 982, 983, 33 Sup. Ct. Rep. 609, and cases cited. It is true that the doctrine has generally found expression in considering the right to review cases coming from state courts, but the principle is here directly and necessarily applicable in consequence of the nature and character of the limitations imposed by the statute upon the right to review cases decided by the court of appeals of the District of Columbia. Coming to test the existence of jurisdiction to review the controversy, and consequently to determine whether the writ prayed for should be allowed, we are clear that the propositions upon which it is asserted jurisdiction to review exists are so wholly unsubstantial and frivolous and devoid of all merit as to afford no ground whatever for the exercise of jurisdiction and the consequent allowance of the writ.
This conclusion is reached because we are of the opinion that, on the face of the statute, it plainly vested the Secretary of the Interior with the power and discretion to remove without the necessity of giving notice or affording a hearing, and because we are unable to perceive any basis whatever for the contention that if the statute gives such power, it conflicts with the 5th Amendment. The right to membership in the council which the statute created, and the power to remove at discretion which it conferred on the Secretary of the Interior, were indissolubly united, and it is impossible to admit the existence of the one without recognizing the other, and therefore to adopt the premise upon which the proposition must rest would be but to destroy the right to continue in office which the proposition is urged to maintain, since the office may not be treated as existing free from the safeguards concerning the discharge of its duties which the statute provides. The argument is not strengthened by confounding the asserted right of the relator to continue to be a member of the tribal council, with rights of property assumed to exist in favor of the members of the tribe, and upon the resulting confusion to urge that the assumed rights of property will be taken without due process if the authority of the Secretary to remove a member of the tribal council without notice and hearing be upheld. On the contrary, if the possession of the asserted property rights be assumed, it must follow that the power to remove, given by the statute, must be sustained. Considering the context of the act, the limitation which it imposes upon the members of the tribe and the tribe itself to contract, and the large administrative supervision over such subjects which the statute confers on the Secretary, it is not disputable that the right to remove for 'good cause to be by him determined' which the statute gives to the Secretary is but an appropriate means provided for the accomplishment of the duties cast upon him with reference to the subject-matters stated. Under these circumstances the proposition could not be maintained without holding that although the duty existed to protect by appropriate legislation the tribe and its members, such legislation, if enacted, would be repugnant to the Constitution.

Rolex Submariner vs. Rolex GMT Master II
Charles Miller Updated: Sep 27, 2022
Rolex is the most recognizable watch brands in the world, and they have attained that status for a variety of reasons. One of them is this brand, having a few models that are absolute classics and some of the most highly sought-after products on the market. Not only do the Rolex Submariner and Rolex GMT Master II fit into that category, but they also have similar price points. This makes them ripe for being compared side by side, which is precisely what I do in the sections below.
Rolex's achievements include crafting the first waterproof watch, creating a model that can withstand the pressure of the bottom of the ocean, sending a timepiece to the top of Everest, and everything in between. The mystique behind their brand has only grown in recent years, as buying a Rolex is often the first thing people do when they achieve a certain level of success. Don't think that this brand is all marketing and hype, though. They actually create some of the best watches on the market, each with its own unique charm.
When Rolex Submariner made its debut in 1953, they likely didn't know just how popular it would become. I imagine they were simply creating a watch that looked great and had legitimate diving capabilities. Over time, though, it has arguably become their signature product.
The GMT Master first came about in 1953. Rolex created it during a collaboration with Pan Am, which was one of the top aviation companies at that time. While it hasn't quite gained the notoriety that the Submariner has, it is incredibly popular in its own right.
Niche & Function
The Submariner is a dive watch, which means it has various features that make it functional underwater. They include water resistance, metal that resists corrosion, luminescent dial components, and much more. While most consumers will never take their luxury watch underwater, these capabilities serve them in two ways. The first is the joy of knowing how tough their timepiece is, and the second is owning a product that holds up to the elements during day to day life.
The Rolex GMT Master II has fewer diving capabilities, but sports one crucial feature that collectors absolutely love. It is a GMT hand, which tells you the time in an alternate time zone. It works by having a fourth hand on the dial that points to a number on the bezel. This function is great for people that frequently travel or do business with other countries.
You can't argue with the quality of either of these timepieces. Rolex creates both with sturdy materials, reliable movements, and a fantastic wearing experience. The one difference you'll find is that the Submariner is a bit tougher, given that it needs to function deep underwater. That being said, a regular wearer likely won't notice any quality difference between them.
The funny thing about these watches is that their designs are almost entirely the same. Your first significant difference is the GMT hand on the dial of the Rolex GMT Master II, which the Rolex Submariner doesn't have. The second is their bezels, as the Submariner's helps you count down from 60, while the GMT's lets you tell time in a second zone.
Beyond nuts and bolts, though, you get more significant differences in color schemes. The Submariner has a few classic arrangements that people love, such as all black, all green, and all blue. The Rolex GMT Master II switches things up by having two-tone bezels. This effect creates the classic Batman and Pepsi styles, among others.
The price you pay for your Rolex depends on a variety of factors, including color scheme, which metals you choose, and much more. Still, I can make some generalizations about how much you'll pay for each model. I find that the GMT II tends to cost a few thousand more than its comparable Submariner model. Why? My best guess is that a GMT movement is more complex and expensive to create, given that demand for both should be about the same. Whichever you choose, you'll be paying quite a bit, but you'll also get one of the better watches out there.
If you're choosing between these two iconic models, focus on the following points before you make a decision.
Looks – Does one of them instantly appeal to you? That might be the Hulk Submariner, Batman GMT Master, or any other model. If this is the case, then go with your gut.
Functionality – Do you love the GMT feature? What about impressive dive capabilities? Whatever your preference is, choose your watch accordingly.
If you go through those two factors and still can't decide, then go with the more affordable option. Really, though, you can't lose when you choose a Submariner or GMT Master II.

High school sports aren't anywhere near the level of sophistication technologically that their counterparts at the college and pro levels have achieved, but that doesn't mean technology isn't having a transformative impact on how high school sports teams are managed.
Often, it's merely a matter of time and resources for some of the technologies to work their way down to the high school level.
MORE FROM EDTECH: Check out how technology has reshaped K–12 athletics.
Ward, a former NBA player and Heisman Trophy winner, is currently the boys basketball coach for Florida State University Schools' Florida High. The school functions as a charter school within FSU, which offers valuable research and training experience for students in FSU's College of Education.
As an FSU grad and former basketball and football player for the university, Ward finds himself settling back in where it all started. And while he's still adjusting from his previous role as a high school football coach, according to a report from USA Today, he's also grappling with the realities of managing a team of teenagers who are digital natives.
One major aspect of coaching that's part of his life today — text messaging — didn't even exist back when he was a high school and college athlete.
While the speed of text messaging makes things easier in many ways, it also presents a distraction for the athletes — on top of the more traditional distractions that all teenagers face as they're growing up, said Ward.
"High school kids, their focus tends to be on other things. So we're having to train their brain to being more focused on the sports aspect, cause they have school, they have girls, they have a social life, they have all of these other things vying for their time," said Ward.
Aside from text communications, one of the most transformed aspects of coaching at the high school level is the use of film and video in training. Because smartphones and video technology are ubiquitous, getting your hands-on footage from a game has never been easier. In addition to game footage, coaches are able to edit film for specific players, which means coaching has never been more individualized than it is today.
That ability to document gameplay is also having a major impact on the recruiting process, from high school to college.
In a column for USA Today, Garland Cooper spoke with Nelson Gord, founder of the Illinois Travel Baseball Club and a former collegiate and professional baseball player, about how technology is making the recruiting process more effective. One immediate impact is that technology allows recruiters to scout more high school athletes across a wider pool, which means more athletes can be scouted to play at the college level.
"[I]n just the last three or four years, we had players go to schools that I'd never heard of before, a lot of high academic DIII schools. But these guys never would have connected with them if not for their use of technology. I just don't have the bandwidth to talk to all those coaches," said Gord.
MORE FROM EDTECH: Check out how K–12 schools are adopting esports programs.
Unlike the NBA or the NCAA, the integration of high school sports and technology is not necessarily evenly distributed because technology investments vary so much at the state and district level. But already, major investments are popping up here and there.
For example, Bingham High School in Utah recently became the first in its state to implement a real-time scoreboard system, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
As for what Ward, he's keen on speeding up the footage review process so that it's closer to real time. When Ward played with the San Antonio Spurs, Gregg Popovich (or, as Ward calls him, Coach Pop) was able to work it so that the team could capture, edit and review gameplay video during halftime. Unfortunately, the high school sports world hasn't quite caught up to kind of real-time feedback loop.
"We haven't gotten to the point where we can get the video edited quick enough to review it during halftime," said Ward.
While this particular dream hasn't yet been realized, Ward can't help but marvel at where the use of tech in sports is today, especially when he contrasts it with his own time as a high school and college athlete.
"We just didn't have all of the intricacies of everything they have today to be able to go up and hit something on the screen. We had to use clickers and laser pointers, those kinds of things, that was the most technology we had. In today's world, you can edit the film in a lot more ways, and also it's more interactive now," said Ward.
Given the current pace of innovation, it's only a matter of time before those real-time, on-the-fly technology tools trickle down from the professional leagues and fall within reach of high school coaches.

Costs and Questions Leave Voters Opposed to an Additional Jail
By Harry Oberg
The most important issue facing Yavapai County property owners in the August 4th primary election is not on the ballot. Or is it? The County Board of Supervisors, with little public discussion, hit taxpayers with an 18% increase in their primary property tax last Summer to fund a new $86M jail complex on Prescott Lakes Parkway. This jail and tax increase is not explicitly on the ballot because the Board of Supervisors was able to use their authority to raise property taxes without voter approval. But several BOS candidates, including me, are raising critical questions about: (1) the need for a new jail itself, (2) whether the proposed location is the right one, and (3) the wisdom of raising taxes and taking on additional debt in a time of great economic uncertainty. However, voters do have a chance to express their views on the jail and property tax increase by voting for BOS candidates who are against proceeding with an additional jail complex.
To begin, voters consistently rejected construction of an additional jail in the past. And a recent private candidate poll, to which I have been given access, shows 54% of Republican primary voters oppose the jail, with only 26% in favor, and less than 20% undecided. Simply stated, by more than a 2 to 1 margin, Republican voters oppose the additional jail complex.
Many unanswered questions leave voters opposed to this additional jail on firm ground:
Contractors have indicated that the Camp Verde jail's capacity could be expanded with construction of a 3rd floor for each pod at considerably less expense than building an additional facility on Prescott Lakes Parkway. Was this option explored; and if not, why not?
What would be the effect on inmate population with the full implementation of predisposition diversion programs? The expectation is that jail population decreases significantly. If so, would a new jail complex be needed at all?
Since costs are always an issue, why hasn't modern technology been used more often to conduct routine judicial proceedings so as to reduce transportation costs? And why isn't the county using competitively contracted security services to transport prisoners and avoid taking sheriff deputies off patrol?
Secondly, exactly why is the County pursing a 600-bed jail complex in the middle of residential neighborhoods? Has the Board considered the unintended consequences from a facility of this magnitude on the quality of life in these communities and on tourism in downtown Prescott?
And, with Governor Ducey's desire to close the state prison in Florence, will Yavapai County now accept hardened criminals into our county jail to fill any unused beds to pay for this project?
In recent years, how many jail or prison inmates have been brought into the Camp Verde jail from jurisdictions outside of Yavapai County to fill unused beds?
Finally, is now the right time to saddle the taxpayer with an $86M debt for an additional jail — and a mental health facility? (That is also part of this proposed jail complex.) However, no costs for the construction and operation of the mental health facility are currently available to the public.
My answer to the above question is an emphatic no. Our nation is suffering a significant economic downturn due to the Wuhan virus. Yavapai County is no exception. The County Board of Supervisors publicly stated it is unable to project the loss of county revenue over the next 2-3 years as a result of the virus lockdown. Asking taxpayers to take on significant debt for an additional jail at a time when county residents are hurting financially and small businesses are struggling to remain solvent is not a wise decision.
My proposal is this: Suspend the collection of the recently imposed 18% primary property tax increase for the additional jail and public safety pensions at this time. The suspension of the 18% tax increase would give the Board of Supervisors the opportunity to reassess its overall decisions about the additional jail as well as to understand the full extent of the economic fallout from the Wuhan virus.
I have another suggestion/question: Why isn't there an independent jail district board? The current Board of Supervisors serves in both roles. This clearly interferes with producing independent ideas, conducting proper oversight, and allowing transparent decision-making.
Transparency in government decision-making is paramount. Until the Board sufficiently answers all these questions for the public, no work should proceed on the proposed jail complex and mental health facility.

Although, the family will be celebrating Christmas when the Sherrif will pay them a visit. Brian would be taken away into custody for the demolition in Family Guy Season 20 Episode 9. And Mac and the family will have to rescue Brian by proving him innocent in the next episode.
The previous episode was set in the 1940s film noir version of Quahog in the 30s. Mac Bookpro was a Private Dick and has recently solved the mystery involving Seamus' unfaithful wife. He was visited by Heddy Toothgraze, who wanted him to investigate her daughter, Megan's disappearance.
Mac checked St Louis's Cardinal and met with his report friend Red Weiner afterward. Red revealed that he heard Megan planned to meet someone at the speakeasy. The duo grilled the bartender, who revealed that the Cardinal helped aid the passing prohibition.
Thus, Mac met his cop friend Ace Hardware, who had been fired for pooping on the streets. Bogey and Bacaw almost assaulted Mac during the night and warned him to stop the investigation. Soon after, he heard that American Dad had been renewed for the third season, and Megan had been shot fatally. He also discovered a film roll around her body on the beach. So, Mac took Heddy on a date while the film roll was being developed in Family Guy Season 20 Episode 9.
Then, the Camera Guy informed Mac that both Heddy and the Cardinal were associated with the mob. Mac cornered a mob member, Karol, and forced him to reveal the Cardinal" underground alcohol business details, with supply coming from Europe. Mac showed up at the church to confront the Cardinal, who was murdered during the confession. Then Hardware revealed that the bullet found in Megan's body belonged to mac's gun. He was being framed and sent to jail. Eventually, Red bailed Mac out as he pursued Heddy to find the answers.
The Killer Turns Out To Be Mac's Orphan Assistant
Heddy revealed that she was skipping town because her life was in danger. She also revealed that she was not associated with the Cardinal or the mob. The truth was that the Cardinal was Megan's father. Mac then noticed a familiar face in the orphan's pictures. Mac's secretary Fanny Patbottom was an orphan named Marion. And Megan and other nuns were cruel to the orphan while the Cardinal was busy with his alcohol business. So, he killed Megan with Mac's gun and also took care of the Cardinal. Eventually, Seamus showed up and knocked Marion while Hardware arrested him in Family Guy Season 20 Episode 9.

Historical Background The story behind the success achieved and the great progress made today by Astra Digital Co., Ltd. since its establishment is mainly attributed to the fact that the founding members and the management team of the company had envisioned that modern technology would play an indispensable role in our daily lives. The human mind would develop new technologies to facilitate all types of work in every field including the field of Defense which is considered to be the most advanced field, as well Industrial, Agricultural, Electrical and Medical fields to enumerate a few. To exemplify the technological advances made in result year let's take a look at the Defense field. During the Gulf War, the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) was brought to the Gulf War, equipped with electro-optical system foe long distance reconnaissance, and transmitted the enemy's picture to ground station without any risk of losing life or being attacked by enemy. In the Industrial field, many new technologies have introduced. For example, there has been an introduction of an automatic machine-controlling system, the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) which controls the functions of various machineries and does not require too much manpower. In Agricultural field The new irrigation system that uses the drops of water in quantities just best suited for each type of crop and the soluble fertilizers have produced very promising results and at the same time reducing the unnecessary wastage of water. In the Electrical Field, a new television has been introduced into the market which has a built-in. Satellite tuner, picture-in-picture feature, and dual language capability etc. In the Medical field, laser technology has been developed for various surgeries as well as telemedicine via satellite.
Since Thailand is a developing country, it needs to open its doors widely to welcome new and up-to-date technologies from the developed countries in order to get a competitive edge in the world market. If we wait to develop our own technology, we shall be left far behind and will take many more years to become an industrialized country. The best way is to open our doors to new technologies from abroad and at the same time build our own technological base in parallel with world progress. Due to the above reasons, we decided as a principle to source those types of items that would greatly benefit both the consumers as well as the country as a whole. The company's policy was designed so as to import and sell those types of products that are highly efficient, of high quality and in a reasonable price range . The company has carved a niche for itself in the field of high-technology products. The company offers, as a principle, the most advanced technology in any field that it is dealing in or it offers to upgrade the existing systems to increase the capability. The company takes special care in maintaining its reputation in after-sales service and to provide the necessary spare parts.

Have you ever had a flight cancelled due to a strike? Compensation could be a possibility if it happened in the last 6 years and your airline was at fault.
A strike is when workers (union members) choose to temporarily walk out in protest against conditions imposed on them by their employer. It's usually the result of failed negotiations between union representatives and the company in question.
Sometimes the threat of strike action forces the employer to come to an agreement with the workers that prevents the strikes from actually taken place. If both parties fail to reach a suitable arrangement, the walkout will go ahead for the pre-defined time period – this can end up being extended and further strikes may even be staged if the workers' union still isn't satisfied with the offers made to them.
Many strikes involve workers employed by the airport itself – baggage handlers and other ground staff have gone on strike in many European countries over the last decade. Germany suffered significant disruption in March 2017 when Berlin airport strikes grounded over 650 flights.
Air Traffic Control strikes are possibly the most disruptive of all as they can impact vast areas of airspace across Europe. It isn't uncommon to see flights delayed due to French strikes – In March 2017, there were over 1,000 UK flights cancelled due to a strike in France by Air Traffic Control operators.
It's not just ground staff that stage strikes. Cabin crew also have union representation and although they don't take strike action as regularly as airport employees, there have been some notable instances in the last few years. A recent pay dispute between British Airways and around 2,000 of their cabin crew has led to a series of prolonged strikes that impacted many routes around Europe.
The airline concerned isn't likely to be responsible for disruption as the actions of non-airline staff is beyond their control.
However, they may become liable if they had enough advanced notice of the strike action to notify passengers of the cancellation at least two weeks ahead of the scheduled departure date.
If the airline is responsible for a dispute involving its own employees and fails to provide appropriate notice of a severe flight delay due to strike, compensation can be sought by passengers affected.
In the event of a flight cancellation due to strike, refunds will be provided to passengers by the airline if required under EU regulations. They may also offer passengers a reroute or transfer to an alternative flight if that is a possibility.
Further financial compensation can be claimed for a flight cancelled due to a strike if delay legislative criteria are met. For instance, the subsequent delay must be in excess of 3 hours and have occurred in the last 6 years.
The amount of compensation paid will generally vary between £220 and £540 depending on flight distance and delay duration.
For a flight cancelled due to strike, rights defined in EU legislation dictate that passengers will be entitled to compensation if it is reasonable to believe that the strike action was preventable on the airline's part. Flight operators will be liable to pay compensation if they are directly responsible for the workers that are on strike (i.e. actively involved in a dispute with employees and union representatives). If a carrier is already aware of strike circumstances more than 2 weeks ahead of the event, but fails to notify passengers of planned cancellations, they will also face the prospect of compensation claims being raised against them.
Flight operators will only be liable to pay compensation if they are in some way responsible for the strikes taking place or have failed to notify passengers despite prior knowledge of strike action.
During the initial stages of a cancellation, passengers will normally be given the option of a refund or alternative flight (if feasible). If a delay ensues following the decision to cancel the flight, travellers will be offered the standard levels of assistance as appropriate for the circumstances. This could include food & drink vouchers, hotel rooms and transport.
Beyond these basic entitlements, any ticket holder impacted by the strike can make a cash compensation claim for the inconvenience that a flight cancellation has caused.
Have you had a flight cancelled by strikes? Compensation lawyers are ready to help you claim up to £540.
A helpful claim handler will process everything on your behalf, working quickly to retrieve compensation.
By enforcing passenger rights established by EU regulations and precedent cases, the lawyer assigned to your case can work on your behalf to obtain compensation for an EU flight cancelled due to strikes.
If clearly accountable, airlines will often want to offer a settlement before legal action is taken. In these situations, compensation will be received relatively quickly and the amount owed to you will be transferred soon after by our payment processing colleagues.
A claim that gets dismissed by the airline will be brought to court if necessary – this would obviously cause a slight delay on any compensation payment.
Although the situation at the airport is likely to be fairly hectic in a strike scenario, it is important to be attentive to announcements and other communications made by airport and airline staff. Making a note of what gets communicated to you and fellow passengers will not only help us understand the situation, but can also be levied against the airline when making your compensation claim.
When a passenger has a flight cancelled due to a strike, rights defined by EU Flight Compensation Regulation (261/2004) entitle those affected to a standardised course of assistance from an airline. The support provided will escalate in proportion to the length of delays beyond 2 hours. Refreshment vouchers, ground transport, hotel accommodation, flight refunds and reroutes can all be obtained by passengers as necessary. Be aware of what provisions you qualify for and request them if you aren't offered them by airline staff.
If you have had your flight cancelled due to strikes and you wish pursue compensation from the flight operator, it is advantageous to have documents given to you by the airline to hand. This can include copies of boarding passes, vouchers and any correspondence you receive before and after the incident.
Recording your experience through pictures and video footage can sometimes be useful to recall any relevant incidents that take place during strike-related flight delays.
A shutdown of key passenger services such as check-in and baggage handling can cause long queues that can potentially lead to subsequent delays and cancellations.
The biggest logistical issues are caused by strike action being taken by integral personnel such as pilots and air traffic controllers. These are specialist occupations where individuals are difficult to replace at short notice, and are pivotal to the flight operation. The number of flights cancelled due to Air Traffic Control strikes tends to be particularly high because these workers are responsible for thousands of aircraft movements across numerous airlines.
Security procedures at airports have become more and more important over the years. Strikes by security staff will disrupt flights as airlines would not be able to guarantee passenger safety without checks taking place before boarding. Partial strikes cause large queues and delays across the airport terminal and complete strikes will force full flight cancellations.
Not only do cabin crew provide inflight services such as meals and general assistance, they are also crucial to ensuring passenger safety on any flight. They instruct safety procedures and are first aid trained and without them on-board a commercial flight is unable to operate. Due to the high level of training required, it is difficult to find replacement staff – although British Airways managed to operate with Qatar Airways flight attendants during the prolonged 2017 cabin crew strikes.
The solicitor assigned to you will have specialist experience of claims involving flights cancelled due to strike action. Their knowledge of EU regulations and case law makes them the right choice for a flight compensation claim.
Your legal representative will also have dealt with a wide range of different airlines, so will have a good idea of which approach will work best in any given scenario.
The friendly claims team at Flight Delay Claims 4 U relish the opportunity to help those that have suffered flight delays due to strikes and will always provide thorough support from the very start of the claims process.
All admin and legal processes are taken care of by our team, aided by their extensive knowledge of EU Flight Compensation Regulation (261/2004).
We have worked on numerous strike-related flight disruption cases – combining this experience with weather assessment capabilities and historical flight data, we can build the strongest claim possible to earn you the compensation that you deserve.
Our allocated legal professionals will have the experience, skills and know-how to deal with any scenario relating to a strike compensation claim.
The likelihood is that a claim gets settled before court proceedings are required. However, there will be the occasional need to take legal action against an airline – in such situations the representation provided by a specialist solicitor really is invaluable.
When travellers suffer a severe flight delay due to strike, compensation amounts will be decided based on the delay duration and the scheduled flight distance. The four main categories for establishing compensation amounts are summarised in the table below.
As compensation claims become more commonplace in the commercial aviation industry, many flight operators are familiar with them now and will usually endeavour to settle cases quickly to avoid further costs associated with court cases.
UK interpretation of EU flight compensation legislation gives claimants a 6-year window in which to submit a claim – the timeframe is calculated from the original date on which the flight was scheduled to depart. Travellers that fly on a regular basis are well-advised to check through flights that they have booked in the last few years in case there are any which could be subject to a compensation claim.
Numerous flight operators (particular low-cost carriers) have begun to challenge the current 6-year limit on claims. It is their belief that 2 years would be a much more reasonable timeframe – this is obviously a tactic for reducing the amount of compensation that they are liable to pay under the current regulations. However, court interpretation is clear, and judges continue to permit claims for flights cancelled due to a strike 2 to 6 years previous.
This hasn't deterred some airlines from trying to impose their own 2 year time limit through misleading reservation terms and conditions. However, these are not EU-approved guidelines and will therefore get overruled if a claimant brings their case to court. The 6-year limit remains in force.
I've had a flight cancelled due to strike – what are my rights?
The key criteria for eligibility are delay length, airline nationality and route travelled. Any delay caused by a strike must exceed 3 hours and relate to a flight on an EU-based airline or a non-EU airline departing an airport located in an EU member state.
Passengers must arrive on time for their flight to make a compensation claim. They are required to arrive for their flight in accordance with the time specified on their ticket. If no time is provided on a ticket, passengers must arrive at check-in no less than 45 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
The flight cancelled due to a strike needs to have been scheduled for departure within the last 6 years – a rule that is to be adhered to in all EU flight compensation cases.
Passengers in possession of tickets purchased at a discounted rate not available to the public as a whole will be ineligible from making a claim. However, any travellers that book a flight using frequent flyer reward points will qualify to claim compensation for their strike-affected flight.
EU Flight Compensation Regulation (261/2004) prohibits claims being made for helicopter and privately operated flights. It is not possible to recover compensation for a flight departing Gibraltar Airport either. Switzerland, despite not being an EU member, is covered by the legislation through its bilateral agreements.
When my annual holiday got disrupted by a French Air Traffic Control strike, compensation didn't seem to be a possibility. However, the solicitor selected to work on my case uncovered that my airline was aware of the strikes and subsequent need for flight cancellations weeks in advance. Because I wasn't notified in accordance with EU law, my lawyer was able to retrieve compensation when the case went to court.
When I had a flight delayed because of a strike by cabin crew, I decided to turn to Flight Delay Claims 4 U. It was definitely the right choice, after hearing about my case; the claim handler was completely on my side and was able to initiate the claim on my behalf. Within 3 weeks I had the £340 compensation transferred to my account and couldn't of been happier – what a fantastic service, thanks again!
When my wife and I suffered flight delays in France, strikes by airline crew were to blame. The airline failed to find replacement staff and as a consequence my flight was cancelled. I picked up the phone and called Flight Delay Claims 4 U as I'd heard from a friend that you can claim for this kind of thing. Sure enough I was told that a claim could indeed be made. My solicitor was brilliant and recovered £220 on my behalf.
To find out what you could be owed for a flight delayed due to strikes, just submit your flight details in our user-friendly claim form. Once our claim handling team have this information, they will be in touch to give an estimated compensation figure and advice regarding our claims process.
There are two main factors considered when calculating compensation payments for strike-related claims – flight distance and delay duration are combined to establish four levels of compensation which are proportionately reflective of these factors.
Compensation gets paid to each individual that has had their flight disrupted; so if you have other travellers in your party, don't forget to include them in your claim.
Strikes are normally planned in advance with trade union representatives and most commonly relate to working conditions or pay disputes.
As is the case for all strikes, they must be staged under the guidance of trade union representatives.
When you have a flight cancelled due to air traffic control strikes, compensation is dependent on the prior knowledge of your airline.
Air traffic controllers are employed independently from any airline, and as such, no airline will be accountable for strike action carried out by these individuals. However, if the flight operator has cancelled flights following at least two weeks advanced notice of these strikes, they are obligated to notify passengers as direct by EU regulations – failure to do so may result in the airline being liable for passenger compensation.
Yes, both international and domestic flights are eligible for claims as long as they are departing an EU airport or being operated by an EU-based airline.
Strikes are designed to be disruptive but each one will impact air travel in different ways. The two main reasons for flight delays will either be operational difficulties (e.g. no baggage handlers) or safety issues (e.g. no security personnel or cabin crew).
Yes. As long as other qualifying criteria are met, there is nothing preventing somebody that has purchased a ticket with frequent flyer points from making a claim.
No. In most cases where there have been flights cancelled due to strikes by airline staff, the flight operator will have already refund the cost of your ticket. The compensation we recover is purely for inconvenience caused to passengers and is therefore a standardised amount.
A successful claim will return compensation of between £220 and £540 depending on delay duration and scheduled flight distance.
Potentially. If the delay caused extends beyond 2 hours, the airline may become liable to offer the standard levels of assistance which can include meal vouchers, hotel rooms, transport and flight refunds.
Yes, all passengers with a valid reservation (including children) have a right to compensation. You can add them to your claim when submitting your flight details to us. Any subsequent compensation will be paid for each person attached to your claim.
It has become apparent in recent years that airlines are looking to avoid claims being made against them by trying to impose their own 2-year restrictions. However we always recommend that this is contested as the Goel and Trivedi vs. Ryanair Ltd precedent case has reinforced the legitimacy of the 6-year limit described in the UK Statute of Limitations.
Most cases are settled outside of court with an agreement being reached directly with the airline responsible. However, even if the case does require a court hearing, there is no requirement for you to attend though because an allocated lawyer will attend on your behalf.
You can still claim compensation without original documentation. We are able to track down your flight information based on the details you provide. A flight number is ideal as it will allow us to find out everything we need to commence a claim.
Yes, if the airline is deemed accountable and the circumstances surrounding a flight cancelled due to strike dictate that an overnight stay is required, you will be entitled to reimbursement for the cost of a local hotel and transport to and from the airport.
As long as you are flying with an EU-based airline or departing from an airport in an EU country, you are eligible for any potential claims made in relation to the strike-affected flight.
No. Flight Delay Claims 4 U are a 'no win, no fee' organisation. We recover our costs upon successful retrieval of compensation from the airline responsible for you strike-affected flight.

To support allbeauty in their growth and help them ensure they're communicating in the most relevant way possible to their different groups of customers, they used Contour, which allowed them to use their data in a much more sophisticated way.
The RedEye team were on hand to provide support in getting the most out of their new Marketing Automation platform. This was put in place right from the outset with allbeauty and RedEye working together to develop personalised and targeted customer communication programmes. Programmes that effectively communicate the brand and its offering consistently to its consumers across numerous markets.
1. Firstly, looking at the behavioural email programme. RedEye's in-house Strategy Team reviewed the customer journey to identify gaps in the allbeauty marketing automation strategy. Using Contour, allbeauty were able to introduce new email campaigns such as 'Abandon Payday' and 'Abandon Category' emails to ensure the whole customer journey is covered effectively.
2. Secondly, looking at allbeauty's campaign emails, RedEye expanded allbeauty's core segment of customers who purchased in the last 15 months to include prospect customers and identified lapsed customers who could be re-engaged. Their new investment in Contour means they can delve into their data to create highly targeted segmentation tiered down to brand purchasing level. Support from the team at RedEye means that their messages are now much more tailored and genuinely relevant to the customer, generating excellent results.
The 'Abandon Categor'' email has seen an open rate high of 38.7 per cent and click through rate of 23 per cent, bringing in an additional £154,000 of revenue over six months.
These results are in addition to the abandon behavioural emails allbeauty already had live.
Looking at the campaign emails with much more targeted segmentation, they have seen a YoY increase in revenue of 44 per cent, with open rates increasing from 7.8 per cent to 12.8 per cent. This is all down to the creation of segments of active purchasers, customers who have browsed the brand recently and customers who were lapsed purchasers.
To learn what allbeauty thought of the results, read our full case study here.

Paul Pierce Compares 2022 Lakers With Carmelo Anthony And Russell Westbrook To 2004 Lakers Squad: "This Team Is Really Giving Me That Karl Malone Gary Payton When They Were With Kobe, That Kind Of Feel."
Paul Pierce recently spoke to the New York Times about the Lakers and their potential in the future. He said that they are "giving him that Karl Malone, Gary Payton feel" because of how well they play together.
In a recent interview with ESPN, Paul Pierce compared the Lakers squad of 2022 to the 2004 Lakers squad that he played on. He said that this team is really giving me that Karl Malone Gary Payton when they were with Kobe, that kind of feel.
The Los Angeles Lakers have put together a lineup that would have dominated the NBA a decade ago. The Lakers believed throughout the summer that their 2020-21 NBA team would not be capable of a championship run, particularly following their exit from the 2021 NBA playoffs.
So, with the exception of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Talen Horton-Tucker, the Lakers released all of their players during the summer. The first major acquisition was former MVP Russell Westbrook, who was acquired by moving players to the Washington Wizards.
Then they went out and signed a slew of experienced players. The Lakers re-signed Dwight Howard, Rajon Rondo, Kent Bazemore, Wayne Ellington, Trevor Ariza, and Avery Bradley. They also signed DeAndre Jordan and Carmelo Anthony, the latter being one of their most significant signings.
Former players Stephen Jackson and Paul Pierce discussed the new-look Los Angeles Lakers in a recent interview (3:45 mark). Jackson praised Westbrook and Anthony's acquisitions, saying they would be valuable additions to the squad. But there would be 'hell in LA' if they couldn't put together a championship run.
Pierce likened the 2021-22 Lakers to the 2003-04 Lakers, who won a championship by bringing in experienced players like Karl Malone and Gary Payton. Given how ball-dominant both players are, he questioned how the pairing of LeBron James and Russell Westbrook would work.
"It's good to see Melo get a chance to win a championship," Jackson said. "It's also good to see Russ, LeBron, and AD get together; as a basketball fan and a former NBA player, seeing those three guys on the court in the same uniform is exciting to see… but if they don't win a championship, it's going to be hell in LA."
Pierce: "This squad is giving me that Karl Malone, Garry Payton feeling when they were with Kobe… If they stay healthy, they should reach the finals, but there's a warning flag there: they're older, and how will Westbrook fit in with LeBron? Westbrook has been the ball-dominant player, but LeBron is going to have the ball in his hands, I'm sorry, he's still 26/7/7 every night, can Westbrook make the adjustment, and that's what we have to find out?"
While the Lakers have a number of veterans on their roster, they aren't the whole team. They felt it was essential to add some youth to the squad, so they signed Kendrick Nunn and Malik Monk. The Lakers assembled an amazing team that included some of the greatest players in NBA history.
Russell Westbrook bombed in his first official game with the Lakers, and the Lakers had a rough start to the season. Despite LeBron James and Anthony Davis' heroics, the Lakers were defeated by the Warriors. LeBron wants to move on from this, so he urged Russ to forget about it when he got home.
Former All-Stars Westbrook, Anthony, Howard, Rondo, and Jordan are all beyond their primes. They have, however, shown that they can make a significant contribution to an NBA club. The Los Angeles Lakers are widely regarded as one of the favorites to win the NBA title this season.
The 03-04 lakers finals is a comparison between the Lakers squad of today, and the 2004 Lakers squad. Paul Pierce compared the two teams, saying that this team is really giving him that Karl Malone Gary Payton when they were with Kobe, that kind of feel.

This is comprised of two parts. At all times, keep your hands on the side of your waist to steady yourself and concentrate on the leg you are standing on.
Part 1 of the exercise is to fold up the right leg as if you are bicycling backwards (or you imagine something dropped on the ground in front of your foot and you are using your toes to pick it up). Do it ten times.
Part 2 of the exercise is to kick out the right leg (as if bicycling forward) ten times.
Repeat with the left leg – first bicycle backward 10 times followed by kicking out the foot as if bicycling forward.


What is the story of San Diego? How did it become the diverse community that it is today? Through this project, students researched how their families arrived in San Diego and connect it with the trends that brought different groups to the city. What were the driving forces that brought them to San Diego? What were the influences that made them stay? Where did their family settle within the county of San Diego and why? Students will look at their family's arrival against the backdrop of San Diego history. Students explored how different ethnic communities (Kumeyaay, Spaniards, Mexican Americans, Filipino Americans, Japanese Americans and African Americans) arrived in San Diego and what forces brought them here or made them leave. Throughout the project, students read nonfiction texts about different community groups and their history in San Diego. The students focused on nonfiction reading skills in order to learn the information about the different communities. In conjunction with the nonfiction articles, students engaged in read alouds of texts that were centered around different community groups. Students had many different takeaways from the project, but the main takeaway was that San Diego is a diverse community with people of all different cultures and backgrounds.
Who are the people of San Diego?
What makes San Diego a place where people want to live?
Why have people moved to San Diego?
We wanted to make sure that our students not only learned about the different communities, but also of the stories of segregation, and the resiliency of these communities to come to live in a place like San Diego and continue to thrive in San Diego.
Johnson and Mrs. Parker: Students learned about the African-American Community in San Diego, and about their experiences with segregation in San Diego and in other parts of the country.
– Students researched their family trees and family histories, sharing their stories with their classmates.
– Students did a scavenger hunt of the staff members of where they were born and when they moved to San Diego to show that our community is made up of people from many different places.
– Students brought food from their culture to share with students. Students went around and sampled different foods and learned how the food was connected to their culture.
2-3 Who were the first people of San Diego? What happened to them?
– Students explored who the first people of San Diego were, and learned about their culture and history.
4-5 Who are the Mexicans? What is El Movimiento?
– Key Learning Goal:Mexican-American Community continues to thrive today in California and different parts of the US. Mexicans chose to stay in the United States after the War and created a community that includes many different aspects of their culture and heritage.
– Students learned about El Movimiento and how the word "chicano" was derived and used. Students explored the injustices that faced the Chicano community and how they fought back through activism.
6-8 Who are the Filipinos, African Americans, Japanese Americans, etc. in San Diego?
– Students learned about the influences that brought different groups of people to San Diego in the mid 19th- 20th century.
– Students explored the different factors that also might have driven these communities out of San Diego, as well as the different laws that segregated these communities.
– Throughout the Project, students learned descriptive language and different forms of Poetry. Students learned how to "show not tell" and add adjectives and adverbs to their lines.
– Students drafted and published an "I AM" poem that focused on who they are as a person, their family influences as well as their culture.
– Students exhibited their work in three different rooms.
– Process Room– guests were guided through the different parts of their learning: Project Launch, Articles, Field Experiences, Experts, Read alouds, Videos, etc.
– Poetry Room– students recorded their I AM Poems and had a printout of their poem around the room. Guests were guided through the process of their poetry writing and could sit and listen to the different student poems.


When I think about who inspired me to be a runner, the first person that comes to mind is my dad, Tony Velsmid. My dad has always lived an active lifestyle. He was a city letter carrier in Nassau County for 30+ years and has always had a landscaping business after work. Delivering mail and running in triathlons led him to a hip replacement in his mid 40s. He is now almost 62 and is still participating in 1-2 triathlons a year! His doctor told him no more running so he asked if he could run 3 miles a year. The doctor's response was "I guess so. 3 miles is nothing throughout an entire year". So, each year, it is tradition that we participate in the TOBAY Triathlon together and he kinda run/walks the 5k at the end.
Being that my dad is into competitive sports, he is my biggest cheerleader at many of the local races. During this past NYC Marathon, he parked in Manhattan and rode his bicycle to Brooklyn to follow me along the course. I think I saw him a total of 5 times between Brooklyn and Manhattan. During the 18 Mile Central Park race, he would bike loops around the park with David Rockitter and I, encouraging us to keep going even though we felt like gerbils on their caged wheel running in circles. Long Island Marathon? He's the guy on the corner of Jericho and Post Avenue camping out with a folding chair, coffee, and a cowbell cheering on the elite and then eventually cheering me on. Sometimes if I have a long training run and I'm running 20 miles alone, he'll meet me halfway and bike along side next to me with water, a banana, basically anything I needed. I hope you all get to meet him some day! He is truly an inspiration!

Register now for CDC course in Minneapolis on August 28-29!
New training module from Children's Vaccine Program: "Immunizing Children against Hepatitis B"
On July 12, 2002, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published "Notice to Readers: Resumption of Routine Schedule for Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine and for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccine" in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). This suspends the use of interim recommendations by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) developed in response to recent vaccine shortages.
Supplies of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine and measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine in the United States have become sufficient to permit the resumption of the routine schedule for DTaP and MMR use as recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). However, health-care providers should be advised that, for the next 2 months, supply might not be adequate for the initiation of ambitious recall or special initiative programs. With increases in national inventory, more comprehensive recall programs can be established. Child care and school attendance provisions requiring children to receive a DTaP booster and a second dose of MMR vaccine at age 4-6 years can be reinstituted.
Three DTaP vaccines are distributed currently in the United States: Tripedia[R] (Aventis Pasteur, Swiftwater, Pennsylvania), Infanrix[TM] (GlaxoSmithKline, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), and DAPTACEL[TM] (Aventis Pasteur, Toronto, Ontario). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved DAPTACEL[TM] for use in the United States on May 14, 2002.
During the DTaP vaccine shortage beginning in 2000, ACIP recommended that health-care providers vaccinate infants with the initial 3 DTaP doses, if they did not have sufficient supply of DTaP to vaccinate all children in their practice. ACIP also recommended deferral of the fourth and fifth DTaP doses if supplies were still inadequate. Supplies are now adequate to resume the full 5-dose schedule for DTaP vaccine.
A temporary shortage of MMR vaccine in the United States resulted from a voluntary interruption of manufacturing operations of Merck & Co., Inc., the only manufacturer of this vaccine in the United States. During the vaccine shortage, ACIP recommended deferral of the second dose of MMR vaccine at age 4-6 years if health-care providers were unable to obtain sufficient amounts of vaccine. The first dose at age 12-15 months was not to be delayed because of the severity of measles in young children. Supplies are now adequate to resume the second dose of MMR vaccine.
Health-care providers should review the vaccination status of their patients and administer DTaP and MMR vaccines, as appropriate. For at least the next 2 months, providers should order DTaP and MMR vaccine in amounts sufficient for a 30-day or less supply to ensure that current supplies can meet requests. Recall or special initiative programs can be instituted when DTaP and MMR vaccine supply improves further but should be deferred during this transition period. However, if children who need these vaccines seek medical care for other reasons, they should be administered vaccine provided no contraindications exist. Furthermore, vaccine should be offered to children who need vaccination and whose parents requested vaccination. CDC will continue to monitor DTaP and MMR vaccine supply and, if necessary, allocate vaccine. Updates regarding vaccine supply and shortages can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/nip/.
On July 3, 2002, CDC's National Immunization Program (NIP) published Influenza Vaccine Bulletin #3. In this bulletin, NIP estimates that influenza vaccine production for 2002-2003 will reach 92 to 97 million doses. The bulletin also summarizes CDC's recent erratum regarding influenza vaccine timing (see the erratum at http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5125a4.htm) and provides the latest vaccine ordering information.
Of special note is the bulletin's announcement of new educational flyers about flu shots for patients now available on CDC's website. With all the changed recommendations for 2002-2003, these flyers will help vaccinators explain the recommendations to patients. Two of the three planned flyers are now ready for downloading.
"When Should You Get Your Flu Shot?" shows in simple chart form who should receive vaccine in October and who can wait until November, visually reminding people that if they missed it in those two months it's "not too late" in December or later.
"Is It a Flu Shot Fact or a Myth?" lists eight statements about the flu and the flu shot and sets the record straight.
On July 5, 2002, "WHO-UNICEF Joint Statement on Strategies to Reduce Measles Mortality Worldwide" was published in the World Health Organization (WHO) news journal "Weekly Epidemiological Record" (vol. 77., no. 27). The statement outlines a Global Measles Strategic Plan with the main goal of halving the current number of measles deaths by the year 2005.
There were an estimated 30 million to 40 million cases of measles in 2000, causing some 777,000 deaths. Measles thus accounts for nearly half of the 1.7 million annual deaths due to childhood vaccine-preventable diseases. . . .
Failure to deliver at least one dose of measles vaccine to all infants remains the primary reason for high measles morbidity and mortality. Many of the deaths can be prevented by more efficient use of existing immunization services and by ensuring the availability of resources for implementing all recommended strategies in each country. . . .
Of all health interventions, measles immunization carries the highest health return for the money spent, saving more lives per unit cost. The vaccine, which has been available for more than 30 years, costs US$0.26 per dose, which includes safe injection equipment. . . .
(4) Improve management of every measles case. . . .
Co-sponsored by the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Influenza Summit 2002 was held in Atlanta, Georgia, May 22-23, with more than 65 invited participants who are involved in vaccine production, delivery, and administration. Working groups discussed communications, payment for vaccine and its administration, vaccine distribution, mass vaccination, and occupational health and business.
The AMA has now posted much of the Summit discussion and conclusions on its website in both PDF format and Microsoft Word files. The Summit agenda, list of participants, presentations, and final recommendations all can be accessed from the Summit page.
A live, two-day course on vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) will be held in Minneapolis on August 28 and 29 at the downtown Minneapolis Marriott Hotel. "Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine- Preventable Diseases" will cover the latest information for providers on schedules, contraindications, standard immunization practices, and vaccine management and safety.
The course is based on the book by the same name, also known as "The Pink Book." Attending this course is a great way to learn about what's new in "The Pink Book"--and in the world of VPDs--in a short period of time. With so many changes in vaccine supply and recommendations, now is a good time to get staff updated.
Featured speakers at "Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases" are CDC experts William L. Atkinson, M.D., M.P.H.; Donna L. Weaver, M.N., R.N.; Judy V. Schmidt, Ed.D., R.N.C.; and IAC Executive Director Deborah L. Wexler, M.D.
The registration fee for the course is $69. The Immunization Action Coalition is offering a free set of VPD slides to the 101st registrant. This VPD slide set consists of 30 slides to present with an English or Spanish script.
The Children's Vaccine Program at Path (CVP) has developed a 46-page international training module for doctors, nurses, and other immunization providers titled "Immunizing Children against Hepatitis B." This training module can be downloaded from the CVP website and printed free of charge.
The user-friendly module comes with a thorough introduction, including information on training preparation and objectives, and clear instructions for adapting content for use in different countries or regions. The estimated time needed to present the material in the module "can vary from approximately 2 hours to one full day," according to the introduction, depending on how much time for discussion is allowed and how much time is devoted to student practice giving injections, doing role-plays, and filling out forms.
Attachments to the module include the very helpful "Has This Vaccine Been Frozen? Doing the `Shake Test'" with pictures of sediment-laden vaccine in a vial to show how hepatitis vaccine should NOT look.
The fourth annual World Vaccine Congress will be held at the Palais de Congres de Lyon in Lyon, France, on September 30 through October 2, 2002. The theme of the Congress is "Bringing Vaccines to Life--from Conception to Delivery."

I had to create 4 very different, very distinct characters, based a bit off of North, East, South and West (directions).
Anyways, I thought the drawings themselves turned out well, so I thought I'd put them up, along with their bios, if anyone would like them. They were fun.
