The choice of hemodialysis professionals for over 30 years, these compact instruments have been designed specifically to test dialysate solutions. By measuring electrical conductivity, they will quickly determine if dialysate concentrations are correct.
To use these hand-held instruments, the operator simply fills the cell cup with dialysate solution and pushes a button. The needle indicates the total concentrations of salts in the solution. Model D-1 has an expandable scale of 0-10 and 0-20 millimhos and is useful for testing final dialysate. A unique feature of this model is the adjustable green color band above the dial. This provides an immediate visual confirmation of whether or not the dialysate concentration is within the patient’s ‘safe zone’. Both instruments have built-in cell cups and are completely self-contained. They are powered by 9-volt batteries, which last for at least 2,000 tests. A glow light serves as a battery reserve indicator.

Automatic temperature compensation AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION: WHY IT’S IMPORTANT The graph below illustrates conductivity readings of a 14.0 millimhos dialysate sample tested with a non-temperature compensated conductivity meter. The same sample APPEARS to have a higher level of dialysate concentration when heated (and lower concentration when chilled). Actually, only conductivity readings change with temperature. Dialysate concentration does not change. Some instruments ignore the importance of temperature. Others require a separate thermometer for testing sample temperature then manual adjustment of the meter. All Myron L instruments, however, feature fast and precise Automatic Temperature Compensation. The result: a more accurate, useful instrument.

Hidalgo County Irrigation District No.6 is located at the most southern tip of Texas in an area
called the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV). The LRGV has been experiencing significant
urban growth over the past decade causing considerable fragmentation of the agricultural
lands and putting increased pressure on the irrigation districts to improve overall water use
efficiency. Of the counties that comprise the LRGV, Hidalgo County had the highest percent
increase in urban area with 35% (Leigh et al., 2009).
The District, located in the western part of Hidalgo County, has authorized water rights of
40,729 acre-feet of water from the Rio Grande River and serves approximately 18,900 acres,
as well as provides raw water for industrial and municipal uses. The distribution network
consists of approximately 23 miles of main and 41 miles of secondary and tertiary lined
canals, and 60 miles of gravity fed pipelines. In addition, there are three main re-lift stations
on main canal and several small lift stations throughout the district. The District operates two
reservoirs at the start of the main system: Walker (116 acre) and District Lake (60 acres),
which are maintained in maximum storage capacities to absorb changes from municipal and
irrigation demands.

Our History
We Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ trace our roots to Dernbach, Germany where our foundress, Catherine Kasper was born in 1820.
Growing up, Catherine heard a “voice within” calling her to be compassionate and caring. She was faithful to the Spirit within her. Alert to the needs of those around her, she helped the poor and sick and took in those who were abandoned.
Other women joined her forming an Association of Charity. Catherine would walk many miles to consult with the Bishop of Limburg in the process of realizing her vision of a religious community. Her persistence and deep humility finally convinced Bishop Blum that God was at the center of her vision.
On August 15, 1851, Catherine and her four companions professed their vows in the parish church of Wirges, thus formally beginning the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ congregation.
Our Spirituality
What gave Catherine the strength to persevere in spite of the misgivings of Bishop Blum and others?
We need to look at Catherine’s love of Mary, the Mother of God—a love nurtured by her frequent visits to a small chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Heilborn. Our Lady’s faith response to what God asked motivated Catherine to respond in courage to the promptings of the Spirit within her.
That attentive heart and courageous spirit caught the first group of handmaids!
Onward to America
Catherine’s deep concern for God’s people and her trust that God would provide the resources needed strengthened her through difficult times. Soon a request for help came from Bishop John Henry Luers of Fort Wayne, IN. He had heard of Catherine and the community and asked for Sisters to serve the German immigrants in his diocese. Thus began the PHJC story in America!
Two hundred Sisters volunteered to go to the New World. Catherine, then known as Mother Mary, sent eight brave Sisters on the long trek to Indiana. These young Sisters journeyed by boat, train and farm wagon to arrive in Hessen Cassel, IN in August, 1868. Within a few days they opened St. Joseph School and began the characteristic PHJC response to requests for help.
The Sisters lived Mother Mary’s vision, journeying into new territories and ministries, building “little houses” in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri and Pennsylvania before the start of the 20thcentury—bringing God’s love to the poor, the sick and the needy.
In the 20th CenturyThe PHJC Community in the United States moved, opened, and closed many missions over the years. Poor Handmaids continued to minister in health care, education, and child care; as well as retreat, parish, and pastoral work.In the early 1920s the Motherhouse in America moved from Fort Wayne, IN to Donaldson, just west of Plymouth, IN.
In This Millennium
We have grown from an American Province focus to understanding ourselves as an international congregation. Sisters have served in Southeast Asia, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Germany, Brazil and Kenya. We’ve started missions in Mexico. We’ve done some soul-searching to get back to the roots of our foundress.
We’ve moved from many persons working in large institutions to working on a smaller scale meeting the needs in neighborhoods once served by some of those large institutions. We’ve changed our government structure to enable greater participation and accountability on the part of leadership and individual members. The Motherhouse is no longer simply a convent for the Sisters but now supports many ministries serving the surrounding community as the PHJC Ministry Center.
If you look at who we are as Sisters today, you will know that we look and live and pray differently than we did in 1868, 1968 or even 2000. We are fewer in number and we engage in different ministries. We welcome and struggle to realize different ways of living as followers of Catherine. We come together as Sisters, Associates, and the Fiat Spiritus Community.
The future of religious life in the United States is not as clear as it once seemed. Even amid the changes, we live as persons of faith who can hear Catherine’s vision in our hearts and know God’s presence and challenge in our journey.

Addiction Incorporated
(Documentary)
Scientists gather to observe an animated test subject in a re-enactment from “Addiction Incorporated”
Potent docu “Addiction Incorporated” chronicles the long and tortured road traveled to establish federal regulation of the tobacco industry — a cause finally won largely due to the revelation that some manufacturers long had proof cigarettes were addictive, despite decades of public denial. Producer Charles Evans Jr.’s directorial debut finds an engrossing suspense angle in the involvement of Victor DeNoble, an idealistic scientist-turned-whistleblower whose suppressed corporate research became the bombshell catalyst in that struggle. Strong reviews should help the pic in its qualifying run starting Dec. 14 at Gotham’s Film Forum, with other cities following in January.
The genial DeNoble, the principal interviewee among many here, was a working-class East Coaster considered none-too-bright until a college course prompted the discovery that undiagnosed dyslexia had been hampering his academic performance all along. By 1976, he’d earned a doctorate in experimental psychology and was recruited by Philip Morris four years later as a senior drug researcher.
Told, “We don’t kill people; nicotine does,” at his job interview, DeNoble figured he’d nabbed a dream post awarding healthy corporate paychecks for science that actually benefited people. He and fellow researcher Paul Mele were essentially tasked with trying to find less harmful alternatives to nicotine as cigarette ingredients.
However, when their lab-rat studies revealed not only that nicotine was patently addicting, but a second element (Acetaldehyde) even more so, the company figured it could get more bang for its buck by upping rather than reducing the dosage of the latter. An incriminating results paper planned for scholarly publication got yanked under pressure. Ordered to destroy remaining rats and other evidence of his findings, DeNoble was then abruptly fired.
A decade later in the mid-’90s, ABC began sniffing around rumors that the tobacco industry — still vigorously resisting government regulation — had actually worked in secret to maintain addictive levels while denying such addiction existed. The industry used lawsuits, spying on FDA investigators, political palm-greasing and other tactics to keep the lid on this explosive truth. But once Congress released DeNoble from his former employer’s airtight confidentiality agreement, the cat was out of the bag.
Once the chronicle reaches industry-shaming Congressional hearings and other still-familiar events, it grows less exciting, if only because the earlier parts, casting DeNoble as humble protagonist in a then-secret battle between personal ethics and corporate malfeasance, offer such compelling real-life drama.
Pic’s most adventuresome leap is the use of impressive, even poignant animated sequences in which anthropomorphized rats experience the highs and eventually fatal lows of substance addiction.
Assembly is first-rate down the line.
