Fairburn, Georgia, May 23nd, 2019 — Building upon excellence in education, Landmark Christian School and the Fairburn community broke ground on May 6 to renovate the formerly segregated Fairburn Public Elementary School. The ceremony marked a new beginning for Landmark, South Fulton County, and the City of Fairburn by formally embarking upon a $10,000,000 renovation and construction of a new high school. Landmark is renovating the historic building that once was used to divide the community and constructing one of the most innovative and unifying schools in the state and nation.
“The city of Fairburn is excited to witness this groundbreaking ceremony. It is symbolic in so many ways.” Mayor Pro Tem Linda Davis said to those in attendance at the ceremony. “We are breaking the ground from old traditions to new possibilities. We are breaking the ground from the segregation partly based on fear to the integration of bold visions and ideas … to the freedom of neighborly love. We are moving forward together.”

Prior to being named Fairburn Elementary School, the building was known as The Fairburn Negro school dating back to February 13, 1947, on the original topography blueprints. Then, the school housed just four teachers and 125 students representing all grade levels. It wasn’t until the early 1970s when white students joined the now named Fairburn Elementary School. The school closed its doors in 1991. Landmark Christian School purchased the vacant buildings in 2007 from the city of Fairburn and the buildings have remained mostly untouched until May 6, 2019.

The new 21st-century high school will unite the community by attracting students of all backgrounds and interests and continuing to prepare leaders for generations to come. The new building will house the Landmark Aviation Academy, including a flight simulator that currently only a handful of high schools in the nation offer. Other unique offerings include the Film Academy, Leadership Academy, Engineering Academy, and later to follow, a Culinary Academy and Dance Academy. These Academies along with the recently launched Landmark Music Academy provide many opportunities for students to determine their interests and develop their passions.

In addition to Mayor Pro Tem Linda Davis’ passionate address at the ceremony, Judge Carla Wong McMillian read a proclamation from Representative Derrick Jackson, member of the Georgia House of Representatives, acknowledging and applauding the efforts of Landmark and their commitment to making South Fulton County, Georgia a better place to reside. The proclamation states that May 6, 2019, will now be recognized as “Be the Change Day.”

The success of a recently launched capital campaign by Landmark, titled “IT’S TIME” reflects how this project resonates with the community and has already reached $5,000,000 in donations. A gofundme account has been set to help accomplish the remaining funding goals. https://www.gofundme.com/be-the-change-initiative. Please contact Dr. Jason McMaster, Head of School, to discuss how corporations and individuals may be involved. jmcmaster@landmark-cs.org | cell:805-338-8901.

Landmark Christian School, just south of Atlanta, has two convenient campuses, Peachtree City (K4-4th grade) and Fairburn, Georgia (K4-12th grade) and is now enrolling.

Exclusivity is not the path forward for health information, so Australian health app Wanngi is taking on Apple Health by being the only app that gives Australians access to their own personal health record on any device or operating system.

Apple Health is currently the biggest place for consumers to store health information, but it is not yet available to Australians, and will leave behind the 55% of Australians who don’t have an iPhone when it is.

Health data should be available to everyone, now.

Wanngi’s innovative new app allows people to upload records from hospital and doctor visits, record symptoms, track allergies, immunisations and more – the first of its kind in Australia.

Wanngi is changing the health industry by giving people the ability to manage their own health all within one application on whatever device they choose.

By allowing people from any country to upload clinical documents from doctor visits – a feature that Apple Health offers only to American users – Wanngi is ahead of the curve.

Australia needs to be ready for the future of digital health and with My Health Record, it will soon become expected that we can easily access our digital health record.

Wanngi currently provides a personal option for the almost 2.5 million people who opted out of My Health Record, and will soon connect to My Health Record, giving people access to their health on any device.

Wanngi is determined to break down barriers by giving people full control over their personal health record – health data should be accessible for everyone.

About Us
Wanngi is a mobile web app that provides individuals with the ability to manage and take control of their health information. By allowing members to create their own personal health record, track symptoms, allergies & immunisations, upload medical documents and manage meaningful fitness goals through wearables, Wanngi empowers consumers to live a healthier and more informed life.

Astoria, NY, May 20th, 2019 – As spring is upon us, we would like to remind you of several ant prevention measures that should be taken by your staff at this time to reduce the odds for ant incursion. By acting now, you can prevent the establishment of internal ant colonies and reduce the number of future complaints and subsequent service charges.

A. Reduce exterior ground clutter such as dead leaves and debris. Keep area free of food sources for both insects and rodents. Remove fallen fruit, berries, candy wrappers, dog feces and any other pest food sources.

B. Close and seal exterior gaps around low windows, pipes and any other access points below six feet with a quality weather proof sealant. You might consider stainless steel or copper mesh in securing some of the larger gaps to provide for rodent exclusion as well.

C.Trim trees back so they do not form a bridge either now or when foliage appears, which will allow foraging ants and other insects to gain access.

D.In trash storage and recycle areas all material should be stored off the ground to allow for proper inspection and control measures. In addition, areas must be properly cleaned on a regular basis, especially in warmer weather to reduce ants, flies, American roaches and rodents.

E. In buildings with setbacks, decks, pool or roof landscaping, inspect all incoming foliage, bark chips and ground cover for possible hitchhiking pests as has happened previously (plant beetles, wood roaches and moths). In ground ant stations may also be placed and maintained in these areas.

F. Eliminate moisture issues, water accumulation and leaks which support pests including ants, American roaches, beetles, gnats, mosquitoes and rodents.

G. Perform an exterior perimeter treatment with a quality residual material
to provide a barrier to foraging ants. At least two more treatments may
be anticipated throughout the season. Your landscape person can provide this service or Standard can arrange to treat it with authorization.

By following these basic IPM practices you will be able to assist in reducing the odds of pest incursion. Unfortunately, once inside the building environment control becomes more complicated, expensive and is at best reactive in nature. Should you have any questions or to arrange for exterior perimeter service please contact our office staff.
