COVID-19 Coronavirus Updates and Guidance
The County is taking a number of actions to keep residents safe and minimize the spread of COVID-19. Find status information for County operations and services.
Minority and Women's Business Enterprise Program
Open for Business
"Our diversity is our strength in Baltimore County. We will continue to strive for more inclusionary practices and policies so that every resident enjoys a high quality of life," said County Executive Johnny Olszewski. Learn more about opportunities for businesses in the private sector.
The Baltimore County Minority and Women's Business Enterprise Program was established by Executive Order to increase Minority and Women's Business (MBE and WBE) participation in County contracts. The County seeks to have an overall goal of 15 percent of the total dollars spent on discretional procurements awarded to and performed by MBE and WBE firms.
The program is comprised of the following components:
- Compliance and Monitoring
- Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprise Directory
- Procurement Assistance
- Training and Outreach
- Workshops and Seminars
Compliance and Monitoring
The Executive Order (PDF) is the culmination of an extensive evaluation of existing practices and a collaborative effort between contractors, subcontractors and County purchasing officials. It advocates to develop better reporting methods, target specific industry sectors, foster more effective partnerships and provide assistance in conducting business with the County.
Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprise Forms
The forms below are PDFs and will open to a new window.
- Minority Participation Affidavit Form PB040
- MBE Complete Package—Used when goal is to be met over life of contract goal.
- MBE and WBE Cover Sheet
- MBE and WBE Prospective Bidders and Offerors
- MBE and WBE Participation Summary
- Form A—Certified MBE and WBE Utilization and Fair Solicitation Affidavit
- Form B—MBE and WBE Participation Schedule
- Form B Prime—MBE and WBE Prime Participation Schedule
- Form C—MBE and WBE Disclosure and Participation Statement
- Form C Subcontractor—MBE and WBE Subcontrractor Participation Notice of Intent to Award
- Form D—Subcontractor Unavailability Certificate
- Form E—Outreach Efforts: Compliance Statement
- Per Task MBE Complete Forms—Used when goal is to be met at the Delivery Order (DO) or task level.
Compliance Reporting for Prime Contractors and Sub-Contractors
Baltimore County Funded Projects
- Prime Contractors will report payments to minority and women subcontractors using the MBE and WBE Compliance Portal to comply with the terms and conditions of their Baltimore County contract in accordance with the Minority and Women Business Enterprise Requirement.
- Subcontractors will verify and acknowledge receipt of payments for work performed on County contracts via the MBE and WBE Compliance Portal.
Please follow the step-by-step instructions to report and verify payments.
Federal and State Funded Projects
- Baltimore County, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) Projects:
Prime contractors or consultants may use firms that have been certified by either Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) or Baltimore City's Minority Business Certification program.
- State Highway Administration (SHA) Projects:
Prime Contractors or Consultants must use firms that have been certified by Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT).
Compliance Reporting Questions
For questions regarding the MBE and WBE compliance reporting, please contact the Minority Business Enterprise Office at 410-887-3407 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprise Directory
Use the MBE and WBE directory to search for certified minority or women owned businesses that have been approved to use on Baltimore County or Federal-Aid projects.
The directory consists of firms certified by the Maryland Department of Transportation Minority Business Enterprise Office, the City of Baltimore Minority Business Enterprise Office. Minority and women owned firms certified by Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) and Baltimore City will automatically be included in this directory.
Contractors who have or have had active contracts with Baltimore County that are and were to report subcontractor payments may also appear in the directory.
Baltimore County Government does not offer a Minority Business Enterprise and Women Business Enterprise (MBE and WBE) Certification Program. Minority and women-owned businesses that wish to participate in Baltimore County's Minority and Women owned business enterprise (MBE and WBE) program as it relates to the MBE and WBE participation goals set in contracts must be certified by at least one of the following:
Baltimore County Purchasing Division uses the Minority Participation Affidavit to readily identify minority and woman owned businesses that are responding to the County's solicitations as a prime or general contractor. The affidavit can be used by a non-certified MBE and WBE business who affirms their status as an MBE and WBE under oath. However, it cannot be used to meet MBE and WBE participation goals in County contracts.
Procurement Assistance
Businesses do not have to be located within Baltimore County to bid on County solicitations. Minority and Women owned businesses do not have to be certified as such to bid direct to the County.
Solicitations are previewed to determine whether subcontracting is available in an effort to incorporate MBE and WBE participation goals. While the overall goal is 15 percent, a specific goal may be set with each discretionary solicitation, based on the level of ready, willing and able certified MBE and WBE firms. The MBE and WBE participation is an important evaluation criterion in determining a successful offer in the Request for Proposals (RFP).
MBE and WBE participation goals set in a solicitation are subject to all contractors bidding direct to the County, including minority and woman owned contractors. This means if you are a MBE and WBE prime, certified or not, you are still expected to obtain the goal using other minority or woman owned businesses.
The following information is available on the purchasing overview:
- Bid Results
- Construction Contracts Invitation to Bids
- Contracts Due to Expire (PDF)
- Current Solicitations
- Financing Assistance
- Maryland Procurement Technical Assistance Center: Bidding Assistance
- Maryland Small Business Development Financing Authority (MSBDFA): Surety Bonding Program
- Procurement Overview for Vendors
- Projects to Be Assigned
- Recruiting and Retention for Business (First Source Hiring)
- Request Email Notification—Construction Contracts Invitation to Bids
- Request Weekly Solicitation Notification—Purchasing Division
- Subscribe to Professional Service notification (Architect and Engineers)
For Public Work contracts, general contractors (and on occasion subcontractors) must be prequalified 10 days prior to bid opening. To obtain prequalification requirements visit: Architect and Engineers or Construction Contracts Administration.
Vendors conducting business with Baltimore County may need to be registered with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT). For information on whether registration is required Vendors should call SDAT at 410-767-1340.
Baltimore County verifies the company's status with SDAT and may require the successful bidder to submit a Good Standing Certificate, also known as a "Certificate of Status," issued by the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation's Charter Division, and State of Organization.
- Prequalification is not required typically for contracts awarded by the Purchasing Division. On occasion, a construction bid solicited by the Purchasing Division may require prequalification. If prequalification is required it would be noted in the bid package.
- Architects, Landscape Architects, Engineers who wish to be considered for work with Baltimore County should refer to the Professional Services Selection for prequalification information.
- Material suppliers that wish to be participate in procurement for the Construction Contracts Administration must be approved as a Source of Supply.
- Contractors who wish to bid as general contractors for the Department of Public Works (DPW) Construction Contracts Administration Division must first be prequalified through said Division. Learn more about the prequalification application and requirements.
- Prequalification Notice to Potential Contractors—DPW is no longer requiring Reference Inquiry forms as part of the prequalification process.
- To qualify for bidding on capital improvement contracts in excess of $25,000, it is usually necessary that each bidder be prequalified with DPW.
- A prequalified bidder is a contractor who has received a certificate of prequalification from DPW.
- A contractor must apply for prequalification by submitting the necessary form and information to DPW for approval.
- The contractor's prequalification must be approved at least 10 County business days prior to the date specified for opening of bids.

New research to unlock mysteries of brain cancer, stroke
Friday, 4 April 2008
New studies at the University of Adelaide will delve into some of the crucial issues surrounding death by brain tumours and stroke.
The research, to be conducted in the joint University of Adelaide/IMVS Centre for Neurological Diseases, will aim to find links between chemical signals in the brain and the reasons why brain tumours or strokes become fatal.
"There are still many mysteries around how the brain works, and this new research will help to unlock key elements we believe are involved in two separate but equally debilitating conditions," says Professor Robert Vink, Head of the University's School of Medical Sciences and NRF Chair of Neurosurgical Research.
Brain tumours account for approximately 2% of all cancer deaths. However, a much greater problem is the spread of cancer, with secondary tumours developing within the central nervous system. This accounts for almost 10 times as many deaths as primary brain tumours.
For the first time, the Centre for Neurological Diseases will begin studies of brain tumours focusing on two specific research questions. The first is concerned with the oedema (swelling) caused in neural tissue by tumours, which plays a major role in patient mortality.
"We know that the cerebral blood vessels in the vicinity of the tumour become 'leaky', and this is what underlies the development of the swelling. However, the mechanism that causes this change in vascular permeability is unknown," Professor Vink says.
"From our research into traumatic brain injury and stroke, we believe that neuropeptides (chains of amino acids in the neural tissue) may play a key role in changing the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. This could also offer a novel therapeutic approach to managing the oedema caused by tumours, and therefore play an important part in helping to save patients' lives," he says.
The second research question focuses on how cancerous cells enter the central nervous system, because the blood-brain barrier should normally prevent any cells - including cancer cells - from infiltrating the brain.
"We will examine whether neuropeptides play any role in enabling these cancerous cells to cross the blood-brain barrier and facilitate secondary tumour development," Professor Vink says.
This year, the Centre for Neurological Diseases has also begun two new research projects investigating the role that a specific neuropeptide - known as substance P - can play in helping to prevent injury and death in victims of stroke. Substance P is a neurotransmitter and modulator that appears to be connected with brain haemorrhage.
"These haemorrhages exacerbate the injury caused by stroke or brain trauma and are known to significantly increase mortality and worsen outcome in survivors. However, the mechanisms associated with how this exacerbation occurs are still unknown," Professor Vink says.
"Our lab has evidence to suggest that substance P may play a major role in the injury process, and the use of antagonists which act to block substance P may therefore be highly beneficial in improving a patient's outcome."

SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — With a berth in the Class B state championship game within his team's grasp, York High School football coach Randy Small believed in his offensive line and running back Sean Kelly enough to go for it on fourth-and-2 from midfield early in the fourth quarter.
The third-seeded Wildcats were clinging to a 14-13 lead over top-seeded Marshwood with just under 10 minutes left in regulation, and Small called a play for his bruising back, who had already scored on a 9-yard touchdown and finished the game with 122 yards on 22 carries.
Kelly was stopped just short of a first down, turning the ball over on downs.
"We wanted to keep the ball," Small said. "We wanted to keep it out of their hands. They moved the ball all game long and our kids and our coaches believe we can get 2 yards in that situation. I think we came up about half a yard short. We get 1 more yard and it's a whole different story. It's just one of those things. It's tough."
After taking over on downs, Marshwood needed only seven plays to score the eventual game-winning touchdown as quarterback Cameron Roll (11 carries, 109 yards) scored from 12 yards out on a second-and-goal play.
If the same situation came up again, Small said he would make the same call.
"We thought we could get it," Small said. "We had the ball and the lead in the fourth quarter and that's what we wanted. We could've kicked it there, and then they drive the rest of the field in 8 minutes and we never get the ball back. Our kids screamed to go for it and I believe in them."
After Marshwood took a 21-14 lead, the Wildcats marched 66 yards on 11 plays as junior quarterback Ross Hogan snuck in over left guard for a 3-yard touchdown, cutting the Marshwood lead to 21-20 with 2:29 left.
Small said there was no thought of going for two points, feeling comfortable with his team's chances in overtime.
The Wildcats sent in senior kicker Ben Lawlor for the PAT. He kicked it through the uprights, but the Wildcats were whistled for having only 10 players on the field as sophomore Zach Handley, a regular on the PATs, for some reason was on the sidelines.
"It was a child who got caught up in the moment, I guess," Small said. "He's a regular on that play and it's never happened before. I don't know what happened, he should've been out there. We never had a penalty on a PAT before."
Lawlor then had a second chance for the PAT, but his second attempt grazed the right upright and fell to the ground.
Small said the snap and hold went smoothly on the second attempt.
"The kick was there," Small said. "It just hit the post. It's nobody's fault."
Roll, Marshwood's 5-foot-11, 175-pound quarterback, was a thorn in York's side all day, rushing for 109 yards on 11 carries.
"He wasn't doing anything that we didn't know was coming," Small said. "We worked on that play (quarterback keeper) at least 100 times. We couldn't stop him. We need to go back and look at the film. We knew what was coming, we knew what the play was, but you have to give him credit. He got the yards."
Roll figured in all three Marshwood scores, running for touchdowns of 21 and 12 yards and connecting with junior wide receiver Noah Kreider on a 29-yard touchdown pass, cutting the York lead to 14-13 with 1:49 left in the third.
Roll called his own number on five occasions on third down, and picked up a first down on four times.
"He simply made the plays when he needed to," Small said.
The first time all day Marshwood got punched in the face was on the opening possession of the second half, when York put together its best drive, a 12-play, 70-yard march that gave it its first lead, 14-7.
Kelly, kept in check in the first half, carried the ball nine times on the drive, for gains of 4, 5, 7, 7, 13, 15, 0, 7 and 5 yards, his last one going for the score.
For the Hawks, who'd surrendered just 123 yards in the first half, it was a wake-up call. They made some adjustments with their defensive ends after that and gave up just one first down on the Wildcats' next two series.
"We had the answers to stop them; we just needed to be more physical," said Marshwood sophomore linebacker Brett Gerry. "Just make tackles and wrap up. (Kelly's) a hard runner, a great running back."
Members of the Eastern Maine champion Mt. Blue coaching staff were in attendance at Marshwood, getting an early look at their opponent in next Saturday's Class B championship game at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland. Top-seeded Mt. Blue (11-0) advanced with a 42-14 win over No. 6 Waterville on Friday.
The Maine Principals' Association has not set times for the three state championship games next Saturday. Factors that will be considered include the distance each program will need to travel. Marshwood athletic director Rich Buzzell said he expects the times to be announced by Tuesday morning.
Portsmouth Herald staff writer Mike Zhe contributed to this report.
Marshwood prevails in game of inches
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — With a berth in the Class B state championship game within his team's grasp, York High School football coach Randy Small believed in his offensive line and running back Sean Kelly enough to go for it on fourth-and-2 from midfield early in the fourth quarter.

Lyzabeth Lopez has been seen on
Learn More About What The Flat Belly Challenge Will Do For You
This program has worked for so many women and now it's your turn. Let me show you what's been holding you back from having a flat belly and share my trade secrets to cinching that waist and getting a sexy abs forever!
I'm Lyzabeth Lopez, registered holistic, nutritionist, award winning master trainer and the creator of the Hourglass Workout.
I'm also a PRO Natural Fitness Model and Fitness/Stage Coach with six years of post secondary in Health Education and Nutrition with an additional 40 certifications in health and fitness.
I've trained hundreds of thousands of women world-wide though my programs including my TrainWithLyzabeth.com on-line training program.
I take my job very seriously as I believe in changing lives and teaching people how to take back their power when it comes to their body.
Now, while I've dedicated my life to fitness & education from the age of 14 when I got my very first fitness certification, there was a point in my life when my once flat belly ballooned out, out of nowhere.
There were points that it looked like I had a basketball under my shirt, I just couldn't understand it, at all!
It was beyond frustrating, I felt I was eating well and working out, but I had this huge belly?
I went to see doctors and they said I was the picture of health, but I knew something was wrong. It was at this point through research and frustration that I discovered holistic nutrition. I looked into it further and decided to enroll and went to study full time for two years.
Holistic nutrition in a nutshell is the power of whole foods and understanding how your body reacts to food.
From this program, I cured this belly bloat, and other issues I didn't even realize that were related to food including headaches, acne, and low energy, and now, I have a six pack year round… check out my real-time SnapChats @ LyzabethLopez where I post my daily workouts if you don't believe me, but not just that, I feel really good.
I have energy, I feel happy and most of all, the understanding of how my system works which allows me to look into what's going on if I should ever get bloated, have trouble sleeping, or experience fatigue again, I'll have an idea of what's causing it and how to fix it.
Because I was a trainer who started out training athletes for fitness competitions, I've always been obsessed with creating perfect symmetry which to me, for women is the hourglass shape and for men is the V-taper.
Both come down to a strong cinched waist.
I used to just train for strength and got a bit of a boy figure with squared off hips and a very strong slightly thick core. I didn't like this look, I knew I was very strong, but I've always liked a more feminine strong shape with curves.
When I added a few years of studying and training of Mat Pilates, getting my level 4 Advanced Pilates Certification, I played with the repertoire and created my own. I do believe that it is from my special Pilates techniques that you can do even when your walking around, which is what I still do to this day, that I changed the shape of my waist by learning to work with my breathing and my core.
People ask if I wear a waist trainer, and my answer is no.
I train my core properly which created a much better effect and is very healthy.
I also share these techniques with you.
Now, my natural genetics are for me to be a heavier girl, if I start eating junk, trust me that my physique will start to pack on some fat, that's just my genetics, so for me to be able to maintain a leaner physique all year took a lot of trial and error.
Getting to this point of maintaining 14-18% bf while keeping my curves and a flat belly without feeling like I'm starving and enjoying yummy food that I like took a lot of testing and figuring things out.
I've done low-carb, low-sugar, low-fat, low-calorie, I've been a cardio queen, ugh, it's aggravating looking back.
But, I have to say, going through it myself was the best thing for me to be able to help my clients because I knew how it felt and could empathize with their struggle.
I really do feel that because I've been in that place trying to figure it all out that I'm able to help so many people to get to permanent changes to not only lose, weight and reshape their body, but to keep it off.
Not just that, it's funny that a huge population of my in-person clients actually quit their jobs as doctors, nurses, marketing executives, etc and become trainers when they were training under me.
The transformations that they experience and actually understanding the body is so powerful and invigorating, that they just have to share this information with others too.
This is actually how I first franchised out my Hourglass Workout in-person program which is now 15 locations in Canada and three locations in the USA.
Almost all of my franchisees are clients of mine, that were transformed, got excited, got certified and started teaching the system, and they are all just amazing at what they do and because they've also been there, they now change lives as well.
Seeing this circle of healthy change and sharing is so magical and one of my favorite things.
The Flat Belly Project isn't a workout video or a diet, it's an educational tool for you to understand what is stopping you from having a flat belly or a six pack.
It's 10 chaptered audio recordings by me that will educate you on what is going on inside you that is stopping you from reaching your goal and will explain how to fix it to finally reach your goal for good! The old saying "give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, feed a man for ever" comes to mind when I create my programs.
I like to give you the power to understand how to make the changes. Once you have this information, weather you yo-yo up and down later on at Holiday season, you'll have the key to the knowledge to not only, not gain much weight if any over the holidays, but to get it off fast again!
Not just that guys, the education part is great, but I also give you a detailed guide on how to follow the short eating plan to get to your flat belly and the more importantly the guide to maintain it.
Please note, as a registered holistic nutritionist, this is not an ordinary diet, this is a diet that is meant to reduce inflammation, increase your energy, stop your bloating, gas, acne, fatigue, fight disease… and give you a flat belly just like it's done for me and thousands of my clients.
I know this may sound cliché but, this is really a system that can give you a flat belly forever!

Sponsor Recipe: Mummy Pizza Puffs
This recipe has been provided by our sponsor, Pepperidge Farms Puff Pastry.
We've been busy baking with Puff Pastry lately in honor of our upcoming Halloween Puff Pastry Challenge, Presented by Pepperidge Farm! Here's a fun and festive recipe from the Pepperidge Farm folks - they are the perfect nibbles for any Halloween party. Bake these instead of ordering pizza!
Flavor Variation: For a twist on ham and cheese, omit the sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni. Layer 1 slice deli ham, 2 slices salami and 1 slice deli Cheddar cheese on each pastry rectangle, folding the edges as needed to fit on the pastry without hanging over the sides. Arrange the pastry strips over the filling and proceed as directed above.
Baking Tip: Parchment paper keeps the pastry from sticking to the baking sheet and also makes for easier cleanup. If you don't have parchment paper, you can spray the baking sheet with cooking spray instead. However, cooking spray may cause the bottoms of the pastries to brown more quickly, so begin checking for doneness 5 minutes early.
- Yield:makes 6 mummy puffs
- Active time: 15 minutes
- Total time:45 minutes
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- All-purpose flour, enough for sprinkling
- 1 package (17.3 ounces) Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets, thawed
- 6 tablespoon tomato sauce (here is one recipe, or you can use store-bought)
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 18 slices pepperoni
- 12 slices pitted ripe olives
Heat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat egg and water in small bowl with fork.
Sprinkle flour on work surface Unfold 1 pastry sheet on work surface. Cut pastry sheet into 3 rectangles along fold lines. Cut pastry rectangles in half crosswise, making 6 (about 3x5") rectangles. Place pastry rectangles onto baking sheet.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce on each pastry to edge. Top each with about tablespoons of cheese and 3 slices of pepperoni.
Unfold remaining pastry sheet on work surface. Cut pastry sheet into 3 rectangles along fold lines. Cut each pastry rectangle crosswise into 12 (about 3/4" wide) strips, making 36 in all.
Arrange 6 pastry strips on each pastry, placing slightly askew over filing to resemble mummy's bandages. Brush with egg mixture. Place 2 olive slices on each pastry for "eyes."
Bake 20 minutes or until pastries are golden brown. Let pastries cool on baking sheet on wire rack for 10 minutes.

Arrives in 3-7 Business Days
This is a woman's firsthand account of a Sufi halvet, a forty-day retreat conducted in complete isolation, along with strict fasting from sunrise to sundown. Voluntarily confined to a sparsely furnished room amid the bustle of Istanbul, Michaela zelsel will occupy her time with reading the Qur'an and works of Rumi and Ibn 'Arabi, and with praying and practicing the powerful Sufi exercise known as zhikr, the rhythmic repetition of names of God or other sacred formulas, accompanied by movements of the head or body.
In intimate detail Dr. zelsel shares her experiences as she strives to attain true Islam in its meaning of surrender or unconditional acceptance of the will of God. Her daily journal ranges over the frustrations of noisy neighbors, power outages, and a poorly heated room; her inner longings, doubts, and memories of the life course that has brought her to this moment; and the most inspirational philosophical insights, dreams and visions, and ecstatic raptures.
The second half of the book is devoted to the author's psychological and cultural commentary on her experiences, including observations about the methods of Sufi schooling, sexuality and spirituality, and the relationship with the spiritual guide. Forty Days is unique in the literature of spiritual education because it is informed by her knowledge of contemporary research from several disciplines, thus creating a bridge between ancient wisdom and scientific investigation.

The transition from solvent-based to water-based paints, can create problems of elongation of the drying times: the traditional and simple system of hot air circulation, the total duration of this phase had an excessive increase, not sustainable for the business productivity.
Among the possible technologies and techniques able to reduce the cycle times, an Italian company (customer of Munters from 2006) experimented with a system of dehumidification by means of absorbent materials. As is known, more the air that enters the drying oven is hot and dry (compatibly with the type of material that acts as a support to the paint film), the greater the amount of moisture that it can extract from the environment in which circle: faster is the evaporation of water, and then also shorter drying time.
The tested dehumidification system, consists of passing the process air through a special filter hygroscopic . The filter consists of a rotor (a rotor that spins) divided into two areas: the air of the dehumidifier is sucked by a fan and conveyed to the "sector dehumidification" where the moisture is absorbed, the latter is removed when the rotor, in slow rotation, reaches the "sector regeneration", where a countercurrent flow of hot air extracts moisture from the absorbent material to discharge it into the environment.

Does Green Tea aid weight loss?
According to research, Green tea has been proven to be one of the healthiest beverages in the world. Besides the fact that a cup of green tea contains less than half the caffeine present in a cup of coffee, it also is rich in antioxidants called 'catechins'. One of the prime catechins present in Green tea is EGCG, which have proven to increase thermogenesis in our body. This boosts our metabolism and if combined with a healthy diet and exercise, it has a positive impact on weight loss.
Does Green tea contain caffeine?
Green tea has a relatively low amount of caffeine per cup (~45 mg) compared to coffee (~95 mg). This caffeine in green tea is just enough to give you a boost, without the unwanted jitters. Hence, a great alternative to coffee.
Is Green Tea a good detox?
Green tea is full of antioxidants and polyphenols which have been linked to anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic effects. These antioxidants, called catechins, also aid a healthy metabolism which adds to the body's innate ability to detox.
Where do you source your teas from?
We source our teas from over 150 renowned tea plantations and small individual farms in India. Within the country, we procure from 5 popular tea-producing regions, namely : Darjeeling, Assam, Nilgiri, Kangra, and Sikkim.
What different ways can I brew it?
It can be brew as hot, iced or cold brew.
Can we add milk to this our green tea?
We strongly recommend not to add milk. You may add enhancements like sugar, stevia, mint to enhance the taste -
How are your teas packed?
After sourcing our teas directly from plantations within hours of harvest, we bring them to our state-of-the-art tea facility in New Delhi, India. The teas then go through rigorous rounds of cleaning, sorting, quality testing to remove any impurities/dust/foreign particles. Teas then pass through a final 10+ quality check points for leaf size, aroma, liquor, flavors etc. They are then vacuum-packaged in opaque aluminium-lined bags using sophisticated machinery. These vacuum-bags are then stored in a dehumidified, temperature-controlled warehouse which ensures that the teas remain garden-fresh and maintain their character. Upon receiving a consumer's order, we further pack the required quantity of tea in smaller vacuum-sealed packs which are boxed in the retail boxes and then sent over to our own delivery centers located in various parts of the world.

YSR Congress party will hold a massive public meeting in Hyderabad in October to oppose the proposed bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, announced party president Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy.
With the court Monday refusing him permission to travel to Guntur, where he planned to launch 'samaikyandhra' (united Andhra) campaign, Jaganmohan Reddy has decided to organize the meeting in Hyderabad, which is geographically a part of Telangana.
During his first interaction with media after his release from jail last week, Jaganmohan Reddy said the meeting would be held between Oct 15 and Oct 20. He said precise date would be announced later.
YSR Congress will be the first political party to hold the meeting in Hyderabad after July 30 decision of Congress Working Committee (CWC) to carve out separate Telangana state.
The announcement came a day after Telangana Joint Action Committee held a mammoth public meeting here to urge the central government to speed up the process for formation of separate state.
Jagan, as the MP from Kadapa is popularly known, was released from jail last week after 16 months following conditional bail granted by the special CBI court.
The court, which directed him not to leave Hyderabad without its permission, Monday permitted him to visit his native Kadapa district to pay respects at his father Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy's grave but rejected his request to visit Guntur.
Jagan met Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan Monday evening and urged him to immediately convene a session of the state assembly to pass a resolution opposing state's division.
He said such a resolution will convey to the leaders in Delhi and to the entire country that "injustice" is being done to Seemandhra (Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra).
He said the session should be called before the union cabinet prepares a note as opposing the Telangana resolution after the central government sends it to assembly would be of no use.
He denied that YSR Congress took a u-turn on Telangana. "We had written a letter to union home minister that injustice should not be done to any region and the solution should be acceptable to all," he said.
Stating that 60 percent of people were on roads for over two months, he said the bifurcation would lead to severe problem of irrigation and drinking water in both Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra.
Claiming that he wants unity of all three regions (Rayalaseema, coastal Andhra and Telangana), Jagan assured people of Telangana that he would take the region on the path of development. He said state's division was not a solution to the problems of Telangana.
Jagan claimed that YSR Congress is the only party besides the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) and MIM to oppose division. He reiterated his allegation that Congress is dividing the state for votes and seats while Telugu Desam Party (TDP) is keeping quiet for fear of losing votes and seats.
Jagan suggested that Samaikyandhra Joint Action Committee send a letter on behalf of all parties to the central government to oppose bifurcation.
"I am ready to be the first person to sign the letter," he said and challenged TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu and Congress state president to sign the same to prove their sincerity towards samaikyandhra.

Kenya attack: al-Shabab gunmen kills dozens during World Cup screening
Mpeketoni: At least 50 people were killed when suspected Islamist gunmen in minibuses sped into a town on Kenya's coast, shooting soccer fans watching a World Cup match in a television hall and targeting hotels, a police post and a bank.
Somalia's al-Shabab Islamist group has claimed responsibility for Sunday night's assault on the town of Mpeketoni, which lies on the Indian Ocean coastline that runs north from Kenya's main port of Mombasa to the Somali border.
"Commandos last night carried out a successful raid on the town of Mpeketoni," al-Shabab said in a statement. It cited the deployment of Kenyan troops to Somalia and what it called Kenya's extra-judicial killings of Muslim scholars, a charge Nairobi has denied.
Kenya was on alert during the World Cup to ensure public showings of matches were kept safe after a spate of gun and bomb attacks in recent months that have hurt the country's struggling tourist industry.
"The attackers were so many and were all armed with guns. They entered the video hall where we were watching a World Cup match and shot indiscriminately at us," Meshack Kimani said. "They targeted only men but I was lucky. I escaped by hiding behind the door."
The attack could heighten existing worries in other African nations such as Nigeria, which is battling the Boko Haram Islamist insurgency, that bars and other venues hosting World Cup match screenings could become targets.
Sunday's assault is the worst in Kenya since last September when al-Shabab gunmen attacked Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall, leaving 67 people dead.
After Westgate, al-Shabab warned of more attacks, saying they were determined to drive Kenyan troops out of Somalia. Kenya, whose soldiers are deployed as part of an African peacekeeping force battling militants, says it won't pull out.
The gunmen raced into Mpeketoni in two minibuses of the kind used as public taxis in Kenya and attacked their targets with guns and at least one explosive device. The government said they also raided the nearby settlement of Kibaoni.
Witnesses said there were about 30 gunmen. A police officer said all the victims were men, with no women or children killed.
"After they attacked the area, they went round the town in the vehicles shooting in the air and chanting slogans in the Somali language," said 28-year-old Issah Birido, who survived the Mpeketoni attack by climbing a tree, hidden by the darkness.
He said about 10 people were killed at the screening by attackers who arrived between two group-stage matches in the World Cup football tournament.
Mr Birido said two cousins were killed and their homes set on fire. Some 20 buildings were gutted and the charred wreckage of more than 20 vehicles littered the streets, witnesses said.
Kenya Red Cross regional director for the coastal area, Muiruri Kinyanjui, said the death toll was at least 50 but could rise because many residents were still unaccounted for while others had suffered serious injuries.
Many people fled to nearby forests for safety.
Al-Shabab bombed crowds watching World Cup soccer matches on television in the Ugandan capital Kampala in 2010, killing 77 people. Uganda also has troops in Somalia.
There were no immediate reports of foreign visitors being hurt in the attack on Mpeketoni, which is not a major holiday destination. But the assault could still further damage the tourist industry as it is situated just 30 kilometres from Lamu, a historic Arab trading port that is a popular attraction.
Kenyan hotels say bookings have dropped sharply because of recent attacks and warnings by Western governments about travel to Kenya. Some hotels on the coast say they face closure, while some hoteliers inland who offer safari trips say reservations are down by 30 per cent or more.

The Preservation of Orange County, California's Prehistory
The John D. Cooper Archaeological and Paleontological Center is a partnership between Orange County through Orange County Parks and California State University Fullerton. The Cooper Center is committed to the preservation, curation, management, and use in research, education, outreach, and exhibits of the artifacts and fossils that have been collected within Orange County over the last 40 years. The artifacts and fossils were obtained from sites in Orange County that have undergone cultural resources management (CRM) studies. Such studies are conducted as part of the permitting process for the construction of houses, office buildings, roads, freeways, and other urban developments. The collections at the Cooper Center include artifacts and fossils recovered since the 1970s. Together, the Cooper Center's archaeological and paleontological collections provide a fantastic chronicle of the history of life in today's Orange County.
The Cooper Center's archaeological holdings are diverse and range in age from at least 10,000 years ago up until 50 years ago. The Cooper Center's collection includes materials from all areas and environmental zones throughout the County including the coast, major and minor rivers, and foothill-zones. Sites from these various areas include, but are not limited to, villages, fishing, milling activities associated with acorn and hard seed processing, and stone tool manufacture. Some of the artifact types recovered from these sites include cogstones, metates and manos, mortars and pestles, shell beads, hammerstones, projectile points, scrapers, incised stone and pottery sherds to name a few. Archaeologists have also recovered historic artifacts from the last century, including glass bottles, barbed wire, and plastic toys. These sites and artifacts are not only the most extensive collection of Orange County history and prehistory, but they provide archaeologists with an extensive view of what life was like in Orange County.
The rocks of Orange County contain the fossilized remains of plants and animals from every major time period since the Jurassic – 180 million years of history. The study of these fossils provides an important link to the geological past and can be helpful in answering scientific questions important to Orange County and elsewhere. The Cooper Center's paleontological material has worldwide significance as it includes an unparalleled collection of marine mammals from the Miocene through the Pleistocene. The marine life collection includes invertebrates, whales, sharks, porpoises, walrus, and sea lions – not found anywhere else, including evolutionary links and new species. The collection also includes some of the few scraps of dinosaurs known from California, and terrestrial mammals and reptiles from the Eocene, late Oligocene, Miocene, and Pleistocene including brontotheres, crocodiles, snakes, sabre-toothed deer, an early bear, primates, camels, horses and sabre-toothed cats. Lifetimes of research and discoveries could stem from this collection.
The Cooper Center opened in July of 2011 and just recently became fully staffed. The staff includes Director, Jere H. Lipps, Ph.D., a renowned scientist with extensive academic, scientific and museum management experience and a passion for the history of life. Dr. Lipps joined the Center in January of 2012. Edward Knell, Ph.D., RPA, is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at California State University Fullerton, and serves as the Faculty Curator for Archaeology and Jim Parham, Ph.D. was recently appointed as the Faculty Curator for Paleontology and will join the staff in the Fall. The Faculty Curators provide direction and guidance for the Archaeology and Paleontology collections at the Cooper Center. Jeannine Pedersen, M.A. is the Associate Curator for Archaeology and has and over fifteen years of experience working with cultural collections. Meredith Rivin, M.S. is the Associate Curator for Paleontology and has extensive experience in Cultural Resource Management in both paleontology and archaeology. The Associate Curators are charged with the tasks of managing the Center's Archaeology and Paleontology Laboratories, caring for and curating the artifacts and fossils, promoting and conducting research and assisting with education, exhibit and outreach projects. Under the direction of California State University Fullerton, the staff of the Cooper Center is the steward for Orange County's archaeological and paleontological collections.
At this point, only a small fraction of the Cooper Center collection has been inventoried – about 6000 specimens and 5,000 artifacts out of an estimated 2,000,000+ from over 900 paleontological localities and over 400 archaeological sites. Ongoing work seeks to curate the artifacts and fossils to meet and/or exceed federal standards of preservation and to provide state-of-the-art facilities where students, professionals, qualified researchers, and interested parties can study the collections. The Cooper Center also seeks to educate students of all ages and the public within Orange County (and beyond) about the history of where they live.

Juan Antonio Bayona, director of The Impossible and the 2007 horror hit The Orphanage, has signed on to direct Warner Bros.' untitled new sci-fi flick. Details are scarce, other than it'll be written by Eric Roth, who wrote the scripts for Forrest Gump and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and produced by Kevin McCormick, who did The Gangster Squad and The Lucky One. Rumor has it the film will actually be set in space, which happens rarely enough we're already excited for the movie, although naming the extremely talented Bayona as director helps. More as it develops.

I've been working on a new method for 2-dimensional FEM on Riemannian Manifolds that involves using geodesic Triangles instead of approximating them in an embedded form using "traditional" triangles.
I'm quite far along, and up until now I wasn't even sure if my Method would only work on an abstract level or if it can actually be applied. So far, it works for trivial cases ($\mathbb{R}^2, S^2$,...), which is "good enough" at this point.
Now my problem is this: I've been searching high and low (using Zentralblatt MATH) for any research related to mine in any way. So far, all I could find is a single paper (http://vs24.kobv.de/documents-matheon/580/6086_sander_geodesic_fe.pdf).
I find it hard to believe that nothing else exists on this matter.
My questions are:
- Does anyone know any research done in this direction?
- Or is the Idea "useless" (as in, it wouldn't improve the result)?
- Or have I simply been searching wrong?
Any feedback is appreciated

You are a doctor and you just saw a very interesting patient. You would like to describe the patient as a clinical case, on a website, in order to share it with other health care professionals (some non-medical readers may visit the website as well).
Is this case report allowed under HIPAA regulations?
Yes, if you observe certain rules. If your opinion differs, please comment in the section below and add the relevant references. It is extremely important to check your employer social media policy which can be more restrictive, and extend or overwrite the general HIPAA rules. HIPAA is a law by the federal government of the United States.
Case Reports and HIPAA
Physicians must assure that the case report does not contain any of the 18 health information identifiers noted in the HIPAA regulations, unless authorization from the individual (s) has been obtained. The authorization is not required if neither of the 18 identifiers below are used in the case report.
List of 18 Identifiers:
1. Names;
2. All geographical subdivisions smaller than a State, including street address, city, county, precinct, zip code, and their equivalent geocodes, except for the initial three digits of a zip code, if according to the current publicly available data from the Bureau of the Census: (1) The geographic unit formed by combining all zip codes with the same three initial digits contains more than 20,000 people; and (2) The initial three digits of a zip code for all such geographic units containing 20,000 or fewer people is changed to 000.
3. All elements of dates (except year) for dates directly related to an individual, including birth date, admission date, discharge date, date of death; and all ages over 89 and all elements of dates (including year) indicative of such age, except that such ages and elements may be aggregated into a single category of age 90 or older;
4. Phone numbers;
5. Fax numbers;
6. Electronic mail addresses;
7. Social Security numbers;
8. Medical record numbers;
9. Health plan beneficiary numbers;
10. Account numbers;

Dr. Wes: HIPAA, Case Reports, and the "Small Cell" Problem, 2011.
Comments from Twitter, 2011:
@symtym (Tim Sturgill): What about more restrictive state rules? States may be much more restrictive, e.g., California; also medical societies and organizations, e.g., AMA. There are lots of ways to run foul. For example, this doctor did, without HIPAA being an issue - state law only:
Example: http://www.symtym.com/2011/09/report-reprimand-repercussions.html
Or Rhode Island… medical boards have lots of latitude. RI did not invoke HIPAA, not applicable; they had separate laws to utilize. No info released; shouldn't mix HIPAA specific rules with separate state authority - big point. A key issue is multiple "sovereigns" and their rules are brought into play. There is no doubt synergyy, but the emphasis is multiple authorities and multiple legislative hx, agendas, interests, etc... I think if is very very important (b/c we are so use to and blinded to HIPAA) to be concerned about the many ways...

This management plan was developed in response to state law that requires the County to identify areas where septic
systems (on-site sewage systems or OSS) might pose a risk to public health and develop strategies for managing systems in those areas.
This legislation directed local health officers of the twelve Puget Sound counties bordering Puget Sound to take
further actions to reduce fecal coliform pollution and the degradation and loss of marine life in Puget Sound caused by
low-dissolved oxygen conditions. The legislation directed local health officers to create Marine Recovery Areas in
areas where on-site sewage systems are polluting Puget Sound.
The Marine Recovery Area (MRA) strategy must specify how, by July 12, 2012, the local health officer will:
In November 2006, an advisory committee was convened to develop recommendations for the County's on-site sewage
system management plan and the revision of Article IV of the Thurston County Sanitary Code (on-site sewage system regulations). Their recommendations are the backbone of this plan.
This part of the plan will allow the County to:
The plan recommends that the existing AMANDA electronic database be enhanced. AMANDA currently requires sewage
system operation and maintenance (O&M) and permit data to be entered manually. This plan recommends that a web-based
system be developed to allow O&M records to be submitted electronically and transferred to and managed by AMANDA.
This will allow Health Department staff to better meet the O&M monitoring and management goals, and will be a step
towards setting up systems to remind all OSS owners of the O&M needs for their system.
Health Department staff and the advisory committee evaluated land use, shellfish closure data and existing
water quality information to identify areas where OSS could pose an increased public health risk or where existing OSS
are a significant factor contributing to concerns. They identified nine areas where OSS could pose an increased public health risk:
After further evaluation, they concluded:
The plan recommends that Article IV be amended to:
Due to incomplete records, there is also a need to inventory systems in urban areas where sewer service is
provided to confirm whether the home or business is served by OSS or sewer.
This part of the plan recommends that Article IV be amended to:
The County currently offers advanced OSS training classes to Henderson Watershed Protection Area residents. It is
recommended these classes be offered countywide.
Currently, certain septic systems require renewable operational certificates. OSS owners are notified when the
certificates are about to expire and homeowners must have the system inspected and pumped, if necessary, before they can be renewed.
The plan recommends a more formal notification procedure to advise owners of systems that don't have renewable
operational certificates about what they should do to monitor and maintain their system.
This plan recognizes that resources are needed to evaluate the data that is submitted to both identify failing
on-site sewage systems and to evaluate the quality of work being done.
A mechanism for funding these plan elements needs to be developed. While some funding is being provided through the
Washington State Department of Health, additional resources are needed to sustain current programs and those envisioned by this plan.
Based on the current resource limitations in Thurston County, the implementation schedule and work plan have been split into:
This strategy proposes to allocate resources to complete activities that will achieve the greatest results while
laying the groundwork that will allow other plan elements to proceed. These include regulation updates needed to
implement the OSS inventory elements of this plan, database enhancements to allow O&M records to be submitted on-line,
and creation of the sensitive area workgroup. Because funding is assured only through June 2009, this strategy
focuses on activities that can be completed within that window of time. Other plan elements are put on a workplan for the future.

Piat D'or is the modern equivalent of Bulls Blood, Blue Nun or Black Tower, you remember the ad 'Le French adore Le Piat D'or?' A screaming great fat lie of such magnanimous proportions it's miracle that Tyburn wasn't reinstated just to behead the marketing director.
It would seem Cunt has a new 'girl'friend, obviously, like he's clearly done, I'm forced to ignore the fact he's a father to a small child -or I'll be forced to rip out the tendons in my neck and defecate upon them- and this is what he's serving these days. No more Carling for Cunt, oh no, he now requires 'sumfing clarssy' to have with his Fray Bentos and Super Noodles. I saw the empty bottles in the recycle bin this morning; I did one of those 'HA!' noises at enormous volume and restrained myself from kicking his door in and making him eat broken Piat D'or glass from my cheerfully bloody fingers.
Lovely night last night, Myfwt came back home and unlike the previous evening I succeeded in making supper, which we ate with a friend, who was on Masterchef. I can't really go on about this too much without breaking cover but I will say the person in question handled themselves in the face of the two presenters in a manner that can only be described as exemplary, said friend maintained their nonchalance and wit and refused to subscribe to the hysteria of television. Jolly good show I say.
Following that a conversation began that was intense enough for us both to imbibe without impunity, indeed, it was helping the flow of conversation. Feeling relatively guilt free from recent bouts of abstinence I rather enjoyed myself. Off the pop tonight, back on tomorrow.
Yesterday day was fairly dreadful, I was feeling all cross about the previous evening and if that wasn't enough I was forced to ride to the bike hospital in Sunbury. It was a stunning afternoon, this almost worked against me as for some of the journey I was taking the exact same route as I did on Sunday which I found a tad depressing, and there were fucking police everywhere. Still I managed to pull a few stops out… I began to re-evaluate my recent decision to flog the Black Bitch and get a new one, there's nothing wrong with her, at least nothing that can't be cured by a new service and she's unique in so far I've spent money on a few bolt on goodies to make her look right pretty.
I arrived at the hospice for the mechanically weak and was informed that in addition to the service I'd need new brake pads, which I was expecting, and new tyres, which I fucking wasn't. I knew the back was on its last legs but had completely failed to notice a bald centimetre line in the front… Blast. Bike tyres aren't like the 'firty pand a cornar' shit you get on cars. They're mixed compound, sticky on the outside and slightly harder in the middle, and made to a much higher standard; they're also fucking expensive. A set of tyres and I won't get much change from £250. To add insult to injury they leant me a bike. Last time they let me loose on a brand new Speed Triple, no such luck this time. I plodded back to work on a brand new Triumph Bonneville, for those of you that know anything at all about bikes 'brand new' and 'Triumph Bonneville' is an oxymoron.
I have an original Bonnie (as us bikers call them, it's the later T140v, US spec, lovely stuff if not particularly reliable) it rests these days at my folks where it's adored by my dad. The new Bonnie was million miles away from that. For a start it's much slower, it's quieter than a Tinker's whisper and handles like a Parkinson's patient going down a cobbled road in a shopping trolley. I. Fucking. hate. It.
I'm so embarrassed to be seen on it I took the bus into work today. Christ I miss my Black Bitch, when I see her tomorrow, on Valentines day appropriately, she'll be all gorgeous and new-like… I can't sell her. I love her way too much.
Perhaps I'll buy her a fucking bottle of Piat D'or.

Mediterranean Culture
The Costa Blanca and the Costa Cálida are two paradises that are situated on the Mediterranean, where the possibility of enjoying a magnificent and healthy way of life is now at hand. A way of life that is full of sun, sport, pure air, healthy food and why not, cheerful and healthy people.
If you visit our coast, either the Cálida or the Blanca, you will enjoy an excellent climate because it is almost certain that the sun will shine during more than 300 days a year. Our climate is warm and dry and is only changed by the autumn precipitations, which are occasionally torrential rains.
You can enjoy the mountain amongst a contrasted landscape of wetlands, dunes, high mountains, steppes or forests of extremely varied fauna and vegetation, or if you prefer the sea, you can lose yourself on the magnificent beaches or in the coves that the Mediterranean coast offers, beaches that have been honoured with the Blue Flue, a distinction that is awarded by The Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) to honour those beaches and ports who have excellent environmental services and conditions.
Playing golf at the famous courses, sailing along the coast with stop-offs at the ports in the area, windsurfing, doing some shopping in the best stores, having dinner at restaurants where our most exquisite dishes can be tasted...

Connecticut privacy panel to compare recommendations
HARTFORD >> A task force charged with reviewing ways to balance victim privacy with the public's right to know is expected to compare some suggested recommendations.
Four members of the group last month submitted ideas on what should be disclosed under Connecticut's Freedom of Information Act. The recommendations address images of homicide victims, emergency 911 recordings, death certificates, the identities of witnesses who are minors, and law enforcement records.
The General Assembly's Office of Legislative Research created a comparison chart for the members to consider during a meeting on Tuesday. It marks the group's final meeting scheduled in December.
The task force was created in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. It's supposed to submit a report to the legislature by Jan. 1 but members might receive more time.

Ipswich 2 Huddersfield 2
Darryl Murphy had an effective return to Portman Road as James Vaughan missed a penalty to go from hero to villain as Huddersfield were denied all three points at Ipswich.
Jordan Rhodes, the Terriers' leading marksman in last season's promotion campaign completed an £8m move to fellow npower Championship side Blackburn yesterday, but there was little sign Simon Grayson's men were missing him in Suffolk early on.
Midfielder Adam Clayton crashed in the opening goal from the edge of the box after the hosts had failed to clear their lines to give Huddersfield the half-time lead.
But the Tractor Boys hit back in the second half when captain Luke Chambers, a summer recruit from Nottingham Forest, poked in his first goal for the club after Murphy had headed the ball back to him.
Michael Chopra produced a clinical finish to edge the hosts in front, but striker Vaughan soon levelled matters before being presented with a golden opportunity to seal all three points seven minutes from time when Huddersfield were awarded a controversial penalty.
Vaughan saw his first spot-kick saved by Scott Loach but thought his follow-up effort had gone in as it hit one post before rolling along the line and striking the other. Referee Mick Russell thought otherwise and the game ended all-square.
It was the hosts who should have gone ahead in the early stages when Murphy failed to make Lee Martin's excellent work down the left count.
Murphy only returned to Portman Road on deadline day after agreeing a season-long loan move from Celtic, and he was given the perfect chance to reintroduce himself to the home faithful, only to steer wide.
Debutant Paul Taylor was clearly thriving in his new surroundings and a mazy run culminated in a fizzing shot which goalkeeper Alex Smithies repelled.
But the hosts were made to pay when they failed to fully clear a corner nine minutes before the break.
After initially heading Oliver Norwood's delivery out, Ipswich managed to block two efforts from the edge of the box before Clayton was presented with a third bite of the cherry, driving through a forest of players to register the game's first goal.
Ipswich had looked dangerous from set pieces and another free-kick proved fruitful as Chambers levelled matters just after the hour mark.
A hanging back-post delivery from Andy Drury was nodded across goal by Murphy and Chambers managed to bundle the ball home.
There was large slice of fortune in the goal which put Ipswich in front 10 minutes later as Chopra somehow latched onto Martin's through ball. There was nothing lucky about the finish, though, as he emphatically beat Smithies.
Huddersfield fought back as Vaughan, on loan from Norwich, was on hand to tap in a sweeping move.
Then came the game's big talking point as Jack Hunt tumbled under a challenge from Murphy. Referee Russell initially waved away Huddersfield's appeal before having a change of heart following a conversation with his assistant.
The controversy did not end there, though, as Loach parried Vaughan's spot-kick straight back to the striker, who struck both posts with his follow up before Ipswich scrambled clear.
Vaughan was convinced the ball had crossed the line between striking the woodwork twice, but Russell ignored his protests, ensuring the sides shared the spoils.
