There's still time to register for tomorrow's full-day seminar on POULTRY DISEASES! Remember that if you register you will have access to the recording for 14 days, so you don't need to take a vacation day to attend...watch in your chicken-patterned jammies in the evenings or on weekends. Four fantastic speakers will cover a wide range of topics, and there are 6 hours of RACE-approved credits. All for only $75, which barely buys you a couple dozen eggs at today's grocery prices!

Now with VSPO/WSC down, have you tried Noah's SlideBox?
by Bruce Williams March 20, 2024

March 20, 2024

First of all - this is NOT an opportunistic grab for visitors to Noah's Slidebox (I'll bet you didn't know that the JPC also puts together Noah's Slidebox with some of our very close Foundation friends.) (We have always envisioned Noah's Slidebox to be complementary to VSPO/WSC - we didn't really think it would be the only free slide collection available - and hopefully that is very temporary.) So when you use Noah's Slidebox ( https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/available-slide-conferences/) - you aren't being disloyal - it's still us putting all sorts of free stuff out there (and thank you for everything you do scanning and organizing all these slides, Kelsey Fiddes!) If you want to use Noah's Slidebox, like you do VSPO/WSC - yes, it is VERY searchable. On the NS page ( https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/available-slide-conferences/) just click on "View/Search All Slides" (its the second header on that page. When it takes you to the next page ("Digital Slide Archive), just enter your search word(s) into the Searrch box at the upper left and it will pop up your matches which you can click on. The WSI button loads the wholeslide, the Writeup button loads up the full writeup on the slide in a .pdf document, and the Details button gives you a very brief signalment and history if you are looking for something very particular. We will know more about the timeline for restoration of the wholeslides to VSPO/WSC in the coming week. And while you are using Noah's Slidebox - thank Mike Dark at the Univ. of Florida for his wonderful programming of the site - (Mike, we are in the big time now!) -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org

From the JPC - VSPO/WSC wholeslide server crashed this weekend
by Bruce Williams March 19, 2024

March 19, 2024

From the JPC - The company that provides data storage, service and backup for the JPC's VSPO and WSC reported a catastrophic server failure this weekend, which has taken the server offline. The company has sent the disk array to a data recovery service to see how much if, any, of the 2900+ wholeslides are recoverable. While the text for each entity is still available, the wholeslides are not. We have been given an estimate of 3-5 business days to find out how much, if any can be recovered. We are understand how important these slides are to training programs all over the world. We will update the timeline to restore these slides as we have additional information.
