Designed for use with a restaurant order check rail for “short order task tracking”, this year’s TOU is provided for the first time in 2 alternative colors. New in 2011 This is very similar to last year’s version of the form. If there’s a variant that you’d like to see, let me know, but in the meantime here’s what’s new: I’ve dropped the year from the forms. As there are 21 variations of just this one form, I’m not to keen on updating it by hand every year. I’ve replaced Helvetica Neue with the new official PCEO font, Proxima Nova Condensed. New colors in addition to black and white: utility green and orange. They’re more subdued colors than I usually use, but are...

They’ll be sponsoring a water and supply station for this year’s Great LA Walk! Here are the details, from Bruce Durbin of the Mid City Neighborhood Council: The Mid City Neighborhood Council is going to sponsor a “Water & Supply Station” for the Great LA Walk. We will be setting up a table outside the Atomic Cafe, located at 5001 W. Washington Blvd. (on Washington, a block west of La Brea). We will have free bottled water, snacks, sunscreen/band-aids, and also a limited number of token items to show our appreciation for this year’s walk participants.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the (breastfeeding!) mothers in the United States, Canada, Australia, India and elsewhere! In the United Kingdom though, today kicks off a celebration of a different kind, National Breastfeeding Awareness Week: This National Breastfeeding Awareness Week celebrity mum and Atomic Kitten member Jenny Frost is showing her support for breastfeeding by fronting the Breast Buddy initiative. The initiative will support you to breastfeed for longer by encouraging you to nominate a buddy from within your circle of friends and family, who can provide practical and emotional support while you breastfeed…. The theme of National Breastfeeding Awareness Week this year is ‘Breastfeeding: every day mak...

However, there just happens to be a vast network of self-contained, self-powered units around the globe that can respond to the presence of toxins, radioactive species, atmospheric particulates and other materials in the environment and could be used to build up a local, national or international picture of environmental conditions - the world’s plants, mosses, and lichens. In a forthcoming special issue of the International Journal of Environment and Pollution (2008, Volume 32, Issue 4), researchers from various fields explain how living organisms can be used to track the dispersal of atmospheric pollutants, particulates, and trace elements. They also explain how plants and other so-...

Currently, pathologists examine surgically removed tissue under a microscope by placing thinly sliced, stained sections on a glass slide. They also use antibodies to pinpoint certain proteins to differentiate between healthy and cancerous cells.These processes are not always accurate due to the fact that healthy and cancerous cells can sometimes look similar. In fact, previous studies have shown that diagnostic errors in lung cancer samples may be as h...
