For most forms of biomedical waste, stainless steel tanks server as effective containment units. Biomedical waste or product can be especially dangerous because of its capacity to carry disease that can lead to epidemics amongst humans or animals. Stainless steel tanks offer airtight options that can successfully prevent contamination both from the outside elements and to the outside elements. Stainless steel is also not easily corroded, which adds a long-term reliability to their use. Acids or other corrosive elements present in many forms of biomedical waste do not pose a significant threat (in most cases) to these tanks or storage units.
Ethanol is a product that is ever increasing in popularity and use as cost of petroleum continues to rise across the entire globe. While it is an alternative to petroleum based fuel, it offers most of the same dangers. The chemical is highly flammable and can be toxic to both the environment as well as humans/animals if ingested (or even inhaled in quantity). As such, proper storage of these fuels is a must. While stainless steel tanks and other expensive metals offer possibilities, plastic storage units are most commonly used for ethanol due to its relative low cost, abundance, and plastic also offers resistance to sparks and electrical currents - reducing the risk of a freak fire.
Industrial waste is most feared for its potential harm to the environment as well as the possibility of carrying cancer-causing agents. Due to these dangers, it is typically stored deep underground out of reach of both people and the elements. In these situations, fiberglass tanks offer a good option due to their strength and reliability. Underground leakage could lead to many problems, including exposure to the water supply, so using tanks that are strong enough to hold up against underground pressure while remaining sealed is a must.

Austin Animal Center seeks volunteers
With the frigid temperatures, it's a good idea to bring your pets in for the night, especially on New Year's Eve."Fireworks scare the dogs. For those folks who have their animals outside, please bring them in for the evening, " said Chris Nobel of the Austin Animal Center.It never fails, the Austin Animal Center always takes in a few extra animals after the celebrations.
That's why they will be offering free microchips for any pets in Travis County leading up to the holiday.Volunteers are crucial to keeping Austin Animal Center going."We try to socialize them to make friends, try to bring them out of their shells and use to people again, " said one volunteer.Lindsay Sugarman and her 15-year-old daughter, Catherine have decided to become volunteers after the family lost their three-year-old cat Sanora.
"It teaches compassion, it teaches responsibility, " Sugarman said.All volunteers must go through a one-day training.Those younger then 15-years, will need to be accompanied by a parent."Doing something for the community, instead of just sitting at home and being lazy, "said Catherine.The mother and daughter duo hope to reunite with their lost family member Sanora, as they help other animals in the mean time.

Big memories of a small store
This is a good time of the year to write about going shopping in Metropolitan Arcadia and Winona. But that story will have to wait for another time.Readers have asked me to write more about the Waumandee General Store. Following is an imaginary tour. If you would like to see the store for yourself, a lot of the original store remains. Some has changed very little.
The hardwood floor is a favorite part. About half way back there is, or at least was, a noticeable "hump." Speeding a grocery cart over the hump was always fun.In the front are large plate-glass windows that Target Corp., Sears and other retailers have since copied. The windows in Waumandee are designed to bring natural light into the store. When I was young, a greenish fiberglass awning was there to shade the bright summer sun.
On the right, when entering, was a doorway to the "beer bar." Three families totaling about 20 adults and children made their living from the store and bar, so a variety of sales opportunities were needed. Additional clerks and butchers were employed.During the day, workers would divide their time between waiting on customers in the bar and checking out groceries in the store. In the evening, the door between the two businesses was closed and a bartender was needed. On Election Day, in spring and fall, the bar, like all in Wisconsin, was closed.

Minnesota horse owner charged with animal cruelty
A member of a Minnesota horse industry group has been charged with felony animal cruelty for allegedly failing to provide enough food or water for her 16 horses.Carol Dobbelaire, 63, of Buffalo, was suspended Wednesday from the Minnesota Horse Council, an umbrella group for the state's equine industry, the Star Tribune reported Thursday. The council's president, Dr. Tracy Turner, said Dobbelaire, who served five years as a director, will be banned from the organization if she's convicted on any count.
Dobbelaire was charged with two felony counts and six misdemeanors. Her husband Rick Dobbelaire, 47, also was charged. Court documents allege that some of their horses were so hungry they had begun eating away at the walls of their barn, possibly consuming the fiberglass insulation. Two were so emaciated they had to be killed.Dobbelaire told authorities that she and her husband were struggling financially to feed their horses. But Turner pointed out that Dobbelaire chaired a council fund that provides hay for horse owners who need it.
Carol Dobbelaire told the newspaper the couple has operated a refuge for neglected horses for years and often had thin horses they have been unable to fatten up. She said she would fight the charges.Another group, the Minnesota Horse Welfare Coalition, launched a "hay bank" this week to distribute hay to horse owners in need.A ton of hay costs $220, nearly double the $120 it cost a year ago, said Krishona Martinson, equine extension specialist for the University of Minnesota.

Animal Organizations Spreading Awareness Among Children
These Animal Organization camps teach children to respect all forms of life whether it is human or animal. Children are pure and innocent and they are considered as the future of tomorrow, so they must be given full awareness about the importance of animal life and how that will even affect our lives. Apart from hosting these Animal Charities camps we also encourage the school teachers and staffs to include trips to animal shelters like shelters for dogs, cats, horses or farm animals in their field trip programs for their students.
We also help educate the staff to teach their children and to make them aware that an animal is also a living being with feelings of joy and sadness, just like they have. We explain that, when an animal finds itself in a cage, it doesn't understand why it has been abandoned and it suffers from being locked up and surrounded by strangers and other animals that are sad, too.However at the end there are many number of animals that come up pouring in at these Animal Charities events or camps who are at worst of their conditions, either some are chained without proper food and shelter for long period or some are simply being used as a toy around their places and beaten up badly.
When animals come to such Animal Organization that provides aid and shelter, they are really had a hard life in the past and are in worst conditions. These people help them gain back their natural living standard and health by giving them proper food and a place where they can be free to play and act their natural behaviors. They will keep around the other animals of their breed and will be allotted an open place to move freely around.

How To Prepare For The Worst?
But countless creative people have decided they're not taking any chances. Yes, some have gone a bit too far, planning trips to the top of a mountain to ask aliens for help. Others, though, are thinking more clearly.After watching Roland Emmerich's sci-fi film "2012" an inventor named inventor Liu Qiyuan built an apocalypse survival ark called Noah. The amateur inventor hired ten workers and invested $288,000 to construct six capsules, each for $50,000.
Made of metal and fiberglass, the structures block radiation and water, he says. They're also equipped with leather seats, water and food. "Fourteen people could survive five months at sea," he claims.In England, though, many organizations view the hysteria as laughable. The AA told citizens: "Before heading off, take time to do the basic checks on your car and allow extra time for your journey."
A London Fire Brigade spokesman recommended: "Fit a smoke alarm on each level of your home, then at least you might stand a chance of knowing that the end of the world is nigh ahead of those who don't. If you survive the apocalypse you'll be alerted to a fire more quickly should one ever break out."And the RSPCA, one of England's biggest animal welfare charities, said: "Luckily for animals, they do not have the same fears of the future - or its imminent destruction - as us humans, so it is unlikely that our pets will be worrying about the end of the world.

Fresh calls for ban on live animal export
The footage aired on ABC television showed cows, purported to be from Australia, being repeatedly stung with electric prods in Israel's largest abattoir.It also showed an injured cow being dragged along the floor by a rope tied to its leg and other cattle being moved as they bled to death.The treatment has been condemned by the RSPCA in Australia, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF), and the National Farmers' Federation.
Tasmanian independent MP Andrew Wilkie said the incident made a mockery of the federal government's attempts to clean up the embattled industry.The live export trade does not have the support of the public and wasn't in the nation's interest, he added."China Entertainment Dinosaur models's way beyond time for the government to stop kowtowing to the industry and instead to start caring about animal welfare and public opinion," Mr Wilkie said in a statement on Wednesday.
"Effective safeguards must be put in place immediately and the trade stopped as soon as possible."The Australian Greens' animal like Artificial Brontosaurus Sculpture-Jurassic Park welfare spokesperson Lee Rhiannon said the government's new live exports regulatory system had failed to protect animals sent abroad.Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig could no longer pretend that the Exporter Supply Chain Assurance System (ESCAS) was working effectively, sheadded."No amount of independent auditing or calm words from the minister can mend a system that is fundamentally flawed," Senator Rhiannon said in a statement.

Animal shelter construction to start next month
Construction will start in January on a $3.3-million animal shelter for Catawba County, a replacement for a 27-year-old facility that regularly operates 50 percent above its capacity.The roomier building with space to isolate sick animals would make it easier to cope with disease like the highly contagious upper respiratory infection that swept the building two years ago,Simulation dinosaur replica suppliers, forcing the county to kill all 200 animals held there. The building is now closed twice a year to sanitize all surfaces, while all its cats and dogs are held outside in temporarily kennels.
"Our No. 1 issue is overcrowding," said Bryan Blanton,Artificial Landscape, county emergency service director. The shelter, designed for 102 animals, has averaged 150 a day for the past two years. One day two years ago, the population hit 259 animals.That means multiple animals are held in the same kennel, which can lead to fights and illness.Dogs must be removed two and three times a day so their kennels can be cleaned. Kennels in the new building will have outdoor runs so the dogs can be herded outside so the indoor sections can be cleaned.
The new building will be built in Newton, off Radio Station Road, on the northwest side of the county government complex. The current shelter is nearby, on the south side of the complex, off Southwest Boulevard.It will be 17,000 square feet, with room for 233 animals. Edison Foard Inc., a Charlotte-based contractor, was the low bidder. The new building should open in spring 2014. It is designed to reduce energy consumption, with the extra cost of construction paying for itself in seven to nine years, a staff analysis said.
