The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) continues to implement precautions in response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). New York City Transit, MTA Bus, Access-A-Ride, Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North are significantly increasing the frequency and intensity of sanitizing procedures at each of its stations and on its full fleet of rolling stock. Trains, cars and buses will experience daily cleanings with the MTA’s full fleet undergoing sanitation every 72 hours. Frequently used surfaces in stations, such as turnstiles, MetroCard and ticket vending machines, and handrails, will be disinfected daily.

After months of hand sanitizer shortages, here in Southern California we are awash in the stuff. Watch out for sanitizers that have methanol as an ingredient which can cause serious health problems including death if swallowed. See the list of poisoned products here:

Experiment: Same specimen under 4 media conditions, photographic conditions the same, detail of stacked photo at 3X magnification the fly in this case is in a fused quartz cuvette with good optical qualities surround by hand sanitizer to fix it in place. Thanks to Chris Thompson for the identification.
Experimental Photograph: A collection of tiny 1-2mm inverts (spiderlings, leafhoppers, immature plant bugs and small beetles) mixed into hand sanitizer and placed in a fused quartz cuvette (10mm on a side) and photographed at 1:1 no attempt was made to organize the specimens, but that can easily be done with a thin wire or bent pin. The cuvette rests on black plasticene and a small sphecid wasp (Tachysphex?) is pinned next to it. The point here is to contrast the clarity of the pinned specimen with the specimens that have to go through the optically more distorting walls of the quartz glass and hand sanitizer....specimens come out clearly better than the plastic cuvette, but not nearly as well as the pinned specimen., but on the other hand there is all sort of opportunity to place and manipulate specimens in the hand sanitizer
Hand sanitizer, like this bottle on a table at Neuvo Modern Mexican & Tequila Bar behind the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, is the newest item on many bar and restaurant menus in the COVID-19 era
The company's precautions include more store cleaning; encouraging staff to undertake strong hygiene practices; offering hand sanitizer and wipes throughout stores; and providing staff with masks and gloves,

Design Week Milano
My visit at EuroLuce 2023
In this photo diptych:
left, INTEGRALIS® by Artemide is an innovative and a sustainable light platform aimed at a conscious and responsible use towards the environment. It combines sanitizing efficacy with luminous performance and design beauty.
It also integrates itself in both the environments and moments of life by interpreting the rhythms and needs of humankind.
It was born from Artemide’s scientific and technological research and humanistic and social vision.
For its innovative importance, the stand Artemide and its CEO Carlotta de Bevilacqua (see blond lady in green to the right), received the visit of the foremost important Government member.
An entrepreneur, architect, designer, and teacher, Carlotta de Bevilacqua is one of the main representatives of design and of the modern business vision. With a degree in Architecture achieved in 1983 at the Politecnico di Milano, she is the President & CEO of Artemide and President of Danese Milano.
Right: Carlotta has guided the special visit of Italian Foreign Office Minister Antonio Tajani.
I was in their stand, almost alone, trying to photograph this amazing lighting system that called my attention and curiosity.
Suddenly I saw about 20 photographers running inside, oh, cool, something important is happening, I thought. So, I turned towards the entrance and stood in front of a desk, with my camera ready for the surprise.
When the Foreign affairs Minister came in with a huge crowd, I was ready for the show ;-)
A very lucky case to be there on the right day, time and spot! So I spotted the Minister and took plenty portraits... I was anchored at that little desk just in front of him! First in row and all the other Photographers behind me.
Next up-loads will be some of the portraits I shot him :-)
Now for the technical detail of this amazing environmental friendly lighting platform, these are the main highlights:
✓ Anti-microbial: strong microbial growth control through total violet emission
✓ 5000K color temperature
✓ White Light mode, 3000K dimmable (0-100%)
✓ Human presence ever allowed (?)
✓ Full spectrum & good perception
√ The producing Company has engaged in a total sustainability product plan

For the reduced dining capacity, guests receive sanitized menus or may opt for a QR code, digital menu. To go beer is king these days. Brewpubs that relied on bustling bar tops pivot to get their handcrafted product to their fans by canning.

Farming customers use Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency (PVWMA) water from the City of Watson Water Resources Center (seen in center) that continually produces sanitizes wastewater for use directly or after blending with ground (well) water to irrigate the approximately $900,000,000 of crops that grow each year, in Watsonville, CA, on Thursday, August 27, 2015.
The Pajaro Valley growers do not use surface water resources from coastal mountain ranges, rivers, aqueducts and reservoirs. Farms and cut flower growers in this valley pump 98% of agricultural water from underground water sources. There are rivers and streams in the valley, but not for agriculture. Despite this, and the current critical drought, agriculture continues to grow, and so does the demands for water.
PVWMA is working with the Department of the Interior (DOI) U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to develop a hydrologic model, a tool to help plan water management facilities. This has led to the construction of pipelines and water supply facilities that provide a supplement source of water. One of them is the Recycle Water Facility (center) in the Water Resources Center, adjacent to the Pajaro River.
The Water Resources Center’s first facility was constructed in the 1920’s to remove solids from the neighboring City of Watsonville, and the Town of Pajaro’s wastewater. Pajaro is seen behind and to the left of the Center. In the 1970’s the second phase treatment facility was completed to accomplish biological (micro-organisms) and chemical processing that sufficiently treated the water for discharge into the Monterey Bay National Marine Refuge. Since the 2009 opening of its third phase, the Water Recycling Facility, a drought-tolerant operation takes in 6-million gallons per day from the second phase facility, and produces a disinfected supply of water for high value agriculture. Here, coagulation, sedimentation and flocculation occurs, followed by filtration and ultraviolet light treatment to sterilize the reclaimed water. Standards are set by California Department of Public Health, per Title 22.
It produces approximately 2,000 gallons per minute or 4,000 acre/ft. during the agricultural year. Reclaimed water users are trained; the water is highly monitored and government tested. Reclaimed water in part or whole is delivered through distribution pipes that are painted an industry standard purple color, and serves as a public reminder of their efforts.
The process sometimes leaves more salt than specific crops can tolerate. To reduce the percentage, it is blended with ground water or recharge water with lower salt levels to adjust for a crop’s tolerance level, keeping the farms productive and workers employed.
In line with it’s efforts use and produce sustainable and renewable resources, the facility uses photovoltaic (solar panels) to generate electricity to help offset the energy needs of the four 350hp distribution pumps that can move 12,000 gallons per minute out the growers along the 20 mile long pipeline, who at the end need pressurized flows of 300-5,000 gallons per minute. Its 16,000 sq. ft. office building is LEED Platinum and Net Zero Electricity rated and that exemplifies and supports education of the public through guided tours of the facility, exhibits, and center.
Agency was formed in 1984 to address long-term ground water over draught issues of lowered aquifers, subsidence and saltwater intrusion. Lowered aquifers resulted from more water being pumped out of below sea level aquifers than can be refilled. The natural means of recharging (refilling) the aquifer comes from rain and other freshwater sources. The water filters down, through the ground, to underground spaces that collect in water basins.
One of the major consumers of the water is a Harkins Slough Managed Aquifer Recharge and Recovery Facility that pumps winter runoff from a slough (or river channel) to recharge a 45-acre/feet percolation basin (a shallow hilltop lake) where it percolates into the groundwater aquifer. The stored water is either pumped out in the summer for irrigation, or is kept underground to recharge the aquifer.
Only a few miles away, the Pacific Ocean saltwater in Monterey Bay soaks the coastline and exerts a natural push into the land. With out enough water in the aquifer to push back the seawater intrusion, salt enters the aquifer. If too salty, the water harms plants instead of nourishing them, making it unusable. When seawater enters an aquifer that is below sea level, it is not always possible to reverse it, permanently loosing a freshwater aquifer.
The Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency is a state-chartered water management district, and paid for the construction of the Water Recycling Facility, now owned by City of Watsonville. The water it produces belongs to PVWMA.
The agency has a three-part Base and Management Plan that focuses on water conservation, optimization of existing facilities and new facilities.
In the 30 years PVWMA has been in business their approach has evolved. By bring in as many public, business and governmental stakeholders they can hear more solutions and work in a collaborative fashion. Some of the stakeholders are USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), DOI USGS, Resource Conservation Districts (RCD) Community Water Dialogue (CWD,) Central Coast Agricultural Water Quality Coalition. Stakeholder help them reach out and teach efficiencies to agricultural businesses and homeowners.

SET 2 – Horn Lake Target Interim Pics: Drive Up
As for what was going on back inside the store? Well, this November 21st shot confirms everyone’s fears: the Food Avenue Express was indeed decommissioned, with its space absorbed to serve as storage for Drive Up and other online ordering pickup services :( For the first several months, the scene was as we see here, with the huge husk of the former café still plainly visible, the confetti neon whitewashed away and some half-hearted gondola walls of endless hand sanitizer doing a rather poor job of hiding this tragedy.

Hand sanitizer is a liquid, gel, or foam generally used to decrease infectious agents on the hands. Alcohol-based versions typically contain some combination of isopropyl alcohol, ethanol (ethyl alcohol), or n-propanol, with versions containing 60% to 95% alcohol the most effective. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer works against a wide variety of microorganisms but not spores.

A relic sanitizing station stands here as the showering of sunshine pours as the best disinfectant!
We saw these sporadically during the COVID-19 lockdowndom of 2020.
The Caldor Rainbow was here.
We circled the circuit of Lakeside Mall in the Summer of 2020, fresh out of hermetic state-mandated sealing and cautious reopening, thanks to the gracious savior!... Governor Whitmer.
During June, many other states were still shuttered, awaiting their own permission slips to reopen with those torrid state guidelines!
Many of the storefronts were selectively open and what we have here is a uncomfortable reminder of false sense of calm, used to lure shoppers back into a mall who was marking time for the inevitable closure.

(WTNH)–A six year-old girl from Georgia was taken to the emergency room Monday after getting drunk on hand sanitizer.
From 2010 to 2014, the number of hand sanitizer cases related to children have increased dramatically. The calls coming in to poison control centers in the United States went from 3,266 to 16,117. That’s according to a poison center in Georgia.
In this case, the little girl couldn’t even walk and was slurring her words.
Doctors had to watch her overnight for signs of brain trauma after she ended up falling and hitting her head. She took just three or four squirts of the sanitizers.
“That’s about an ounce, probably equivalent to three shots of tequila,” said pharmacist Rick Carbray of Apex Pharmacy in Hamden. “So, that’s pretty impressive in terms of quantity of alcohol in these sanitizers.”
Hand sanitizers contain 45 to 95 percent alcohol, where as wine and beer contain about 12% and 5%.
Carbray says it’s not surprising that this little girl was curious and swallowed a colored sanitizer that looked like it would taste like strawberries.
Lisette Torres, a mother of three, admits she never really thought about how dangerous hand sanitizers are.
“I mean, I know kids accidentally put things in their mouth and they are curious, but no I never thought that,”Torres said.
She said she keeps hand sanitizers in her room instead of in a family room, but not for this reason.
“They waste it a lot,” she said. “They use extra, especially my ten year-old. Torres says now, she will keep it far away. She has a baby grandson who likes to run around the house and touch things.
Carbray suggests that at school, teachers keep sanitizers away from kids. Especially the colored, scented ones that may look appealing to a young child.
He recommends sanitizing wipes instead.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) continues to implement precautions in response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). New York City Transit, MTA Bus, Access-A-Ride, Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North are significantly increasing the frequency and intensity of sanitizing procedures at each of its stations and on its full fleet of rolling stock. Trains, cars and buses will experience daily cleanings with the MTA’s full fleet undergoing sanitation every 72 hours. Frequently used surfaces in stations, such as turnstiles, MetroCard and ticket vending machines, and handrails, will be disinfected daily.

Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency (PVWMA) Senior Water Resource Hydrologist Brian Lockwood (right), PG, CHg, and Marcus Mendiola talk about this filtration facility, one of the last stages that the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency (PVWMA) Water Resources Center uses to sanitize wastewater for direct use or blending with ground (well) water for the approximately $900,000,000 of crops per year, in Watsonville, CA, on Thursday, August 27, 2015.
The facility uses photovoltaic (solar panels) to generate electricity to help offset the energy needs of the four 350hp distribution pumps, atop this facility that can move 12,000 gallons per minute out the growers along a 20 mile long pipeline.
The Pajaro Valley growers do not use surface water resources from coastal mountain ranges, rivers, aqueducts and reservoirs. Farms and cut flower growers in this valley pump 98% of agricultural water from underground water sources. There are rivers and streams in the valley, but not for agriculture. Despite this, and the current critical drought, agriculture continues to grow, and so does the demands for water.
PVWMA is working with the Department of the Interior (DOI) U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to develop a hydrologic model, a tool to help plan water management facilities. This has led to the construction of pipelines and water supply facilities that provide a supplement source of water. One of them is the Recycle Water Facility (seen) in the Water Resources Center, adjacent to the Pajaro River.
The Water Resources Center’s first facility was constructed in the 1920’s to remove solids from the City of Watsonville, and the Town of Pajaro’s wastewater. In the 1970’s the second phase treatment facility was completed to accomplish biological (micro-organisms) and chemical processing that sufficiently treated the water for discharge into the Monterey Bay National Marine Refuge. Since the 2009 opening of its third phase, the Water Recycling Facility, a drought-tolerant operation takes in 6-million gallons per day from the second phase facility, and produces a disinfected supply of water for high value agriculture. Here, coagulation, sedimentation and flocculation occurs, followed by filtration and ultraviolet light treatment to sterilize the reclaimed water. Standards are set by California Department of Public Health, per Title 22.
It produces approximately 2,000 gallons per minute or 4,000 acre/ft. during the agricultural year. Reclaimed water users are trained; the water is highly monitored and government tested. Reclaimed water in part or whole is delivered through distribution pipes that are painted an industry standard purple color, and serves as a public reminder of their efforts.
The process sometimes leaves more salt than specific crops can tolerate. To reduce the percentage, it is blended with ground water or recharge water with lower salt levels to adjust for a crop’s tolerance level, keeping the farms productive and workers employed.
In line with it’s efforts use and produce sustainable and renewable resources, the 16,000 sq. ft. office building is LEED Platinum and Net Zero Electricity rated and that exemplifies and supports education of the public through guided tours of the facility, exhibits, and center.
Agency was formed in 1984 to address long-term ground water over draught issues of lowered aquifers, subsidence and saltwater intrusion. Lowered aquifers resulted from more water being pumped out of below sea level aquifers than can be refilled. The natural means of recharging (refilling) the aquifer comes from rain and other freshwater sources. The water filters down, through the ground, to underground spaces that collect in water basins.
One of the major consumers of the water is a Harkins Slough Managed Aquifer Recharge and Recovery Facility that pumps winter runoff from a slough (or river channel) to recharge a 14-acre percolation basin (a shallow hilltop lake) where it percolates into the groundwater aquifer. The stored water is either pumped out in the summer for irrigation, or is kept underground to recharge the aquifer.
Only a few miles away, the Pacific Ocean saltwater in Monterey Bay soaks the coastline and exerts a natural push into the land. With out enough water in the aquifer to push back the seawater intrusion, salt enters the aquifer. If too salty, the water harms plants instead of nourishing them, making it unusable. When seawater enters an aquifer that is below sea level, it is not always possible to reverse it, permanently loosing a freshwater aquifer.
The Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency is a state-chartered water management district, and paid for the construction of the Water Recycling Facility, now owned by City of Watsonville. The water it produces belongs to PVWMA.
The agency has a three-part Base and Management Plan that focuses on water conservation, optimization of existing facilities and new facilities.
In the 30 years PVWMA has been in business their approach has evolved. By bring in as many public, business and governmental stakeholders they can hear more solutions and work in a collaborative fashion. Some of the stakeholders are USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), DOI USGS, Resource Conservation Districts (RCD) Community Water Dialogue (CWD,) Central Coast Agricultural Water Quality Coalition. Stakeholder help them reach out and teach efficiencies to agricultural businesses and homeowners.
