A myeloma patient weighs wine warnings, food recalls, and cancer risks
I live in Southern California wine country. It’s harvest season here. Workers are plucking grapes from acres of vineyards, sending them off to the crush pads to be turned into whites, reds, and rosés. In the middle of all this activity comes a new report about alcohol and cancer deaths. “U.S. Cancer Deaths Linked to Alcohol Have Doubled Since 1990, Study Finds,” declares a headline from the University of Miami, where the research was done.
6 Tips to Maximize Your Writer’s Website
January 2, 2020 Written by William Kowalski Explore More Learn how to make technology work for you, instead of the other way around. Why do writers need websites? The answer is simple: to promote their work. Self-published authors quickly find out how difficult it is to rise above the noise of the thundering herd without one. These days, even authors with traditional publishing contracts must do much of their own publicity.
What role does industrial lubricant play in sustainable poultry production?
If your company hasn't asked this question yet, you've missed a key area in which your business can discover significant savings. Poultry processing involves harsh daily sanitation regimes, fluctuating temperatures, high levels of moisture and humidity, and omnipresent contaminants, such as feathers. All this is notoriously hard on lubricants, resulting in frequent bearing and chain replacements due to rust, stretch, or breakdowns.
5 considerations for reassessing your lubrication regime
Predictive maintenance (PdM), as you’ve probably heard by now, is the science of predicting when a piece of equipment is going to require maintenance or replacement. It replaces reactive maintenance (i.e., “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”) and preventive maintenance (servicing at regular intervals, whether it needs it or not). If you haven’t heard about PdM yet, it’s high time you have. PdM is not based on intuition, guesswork or experience. Instead, it’s based on a set of scientific measurements.
7 Ways to Save Through Smarter Lubrication
Lubrication is one of those things that often falls by the wayside... until something starts screeching or smoking, that is. Too many plant managers and maintenance personnel have the attitude that the best way to lubricate something is to just slap on the cheapest stuff they can find and check back in a few weeks. Believe it or not, this thinking may be bringing you dangerously close to the bottom line in ways you haven’t thought of...
Why your HVAC lubrication program deserves more attention
HVAC System / Machinery Lubrication / Predictive Maintenance 5 questions to ask if you want to surprise plant execs with unexpected savings. By William Kowalski, Interflon Apr 16, 2019 In this article: Are you using automatic lube dispensers? Are you using the appropriate grease? Have you done cost comparisons of lubricants? Have you assessed your lubricant cabinet recently? Are you using multiuse lubricants?

OPINION: Freedom to photograph in Canada is under threat - JSource
The situation in Canada has reached the point where it needs to be said loudly and clearly: there is no law against public photography in Canada; no one here can ever be arrested for the simple act of making a picture or film, unless other laws are being broken in the process; and police officers who are in uniform and executing their duties in public have no reasonable expectation of privacy. William Kowalski looks at recent incidents that illustrate why this point needs to be made.
Time-Series Interactions of Gene Expression, Vascular Growth and Hemodynamics during Early Embryonic Arterial Development
The role of hemodynamic forces within the embryo as biomechanical regulators for cardiovascular morphogenesis, growth, and remodeling is well supported through the experimental studies. Furthermore, clinical experience suggests that perturbed flow disrupts the normal vascular growth process as one etiology for congenital heart diseases (CHD) and for fetal adaptation to CHD.
Opinion | Freedom to photograph under threat
By William Kowalski Sun., July 28, 2013timer3 min. read updateArticle was updated Jul. 26, 2013 In any society where the police, military or government hold inordinate power over the people, there are restrictions on the right to take and publish photographs, especially when those pictures prove embarrassing or incriminating to those in charge. One sure measure of a society’s freedom is how its leaders react to such images.
Public Photography is No Crime
The June 2, 2013 arrest of Toronto Star photographer Alex Consiglio for trespassing in a Toronto railway station is the latest in a series of events that has PEN Canada’s National Affairs Committee concerned about the interpretation of certain Charter rights pertaining to public photography and filming.
