Asking baristas what they deem to be their best drink at three Gainesville coffee shops.
I ventured to three of Gainesville’s most popular coffee shops in search of the perfect drink. After drinking coffee for many years, I desired a drink that could tell a story with all the major plot points: flavor, fragrance, flair, form, and finesse. So, I asked baristas what beverage they felt best represented their shop’s unique take on coffee, ranked them accordingly, and brought them here for you to evaluate.
Pascal’s Coffeehouse: Japanese Iced Coffee
Flavor: This chilled drink has a bold, smooth, hazel-nutty flavor. If served black, it has a satisfyingly strong, bitter bite. I added half-n-half for photo after trying the drink by itself.
Fragrance: It has notes of dark chocolate in its fragrance, with a pungent coffee overtone.
Flair: The simplicity of this drink speaks to its quality. It can stand alone without frills and syrups.
Form: Japanese iced coffee is unique to this coffee shop, as other cold brewing techniques are typically lengthy and involve steeping overnight. Japanese iced coffee is brewed hot and then immediately poured over ice to capture the flavors of a bold, rich brew without waiting for 12 hours or more.
Finesse: This coffee was coolly poured into a tall, 16 oz. glass. Straws are optional, and they also have a plastic waste recycling bin.
Wyatt’s: Nitro Honey Cold Brew
Flavor: This drink is silky, honey-infused, and rich. Its flavor compares best to honey-nut cereal. Though hardy in composition, this beverage was cool and refreshing.
Fragrance: Wafts of honey and hazelnut hung about this coffee drink.
Flair: The fizzy, creamy sensation created by the nitrogen infusing process makes this drink fun and amusing.
Form: The nitro cold brewing process infuses the drink with nitrogen gas, giving it a velvety feel.
Finesse: This beverage was tapped into a glass with just the right amount of foamy head on top. The reverse cascade was minimal, an upside-down waterfall effect as the nitrogen bubbles rise.
Karma Cream: Lavender Oat Milk Latte
Flavor: This beverage provided a warm, smooth microfoam. It tasted subtly sweet with a mellowed spice flavor. The plantiness of the lavender is complemented by the full-bodied oat milk.
Fragrance: The aroma of this latte was a harmonious mix of sugar, oat, and lavender.
Flair: Oat milk is notoriously the most expensive milk alternative, but alternative milks are not an upcharge at Karma Cream, as they are a vegan shop supporting vegan choices.
Form: The barista created lovely heart-shaped pour art with thick, creamy oat milk.
Finesse: The blue porcelain cup and saucer was vibrant and sturdy, a solid choice for a solid establishment.
My final comparison of these drinks places the nitro honey cold brew in third, Japanese iced coffee in second, lavender oat milk latte in first. The nitro cold brew was delicious, but the novelty of nitro cold brew was more thrilling than the beverage itself. The Japanese iced coffee was simple, but well-made. It was the epitome of what good iced coffee should taste like, and I couldn’t deny its classiness. In first, the lavender oat milk latte combined flavors so uniquely well, and its creation required the most finesse.

Today I welcome you with just some ordinary content.
I’ve been sick–knocked down, in fact. Spent the last coupla days in bed, and, honestly, I’m sure my body needed the extra rest. My friend pointed out that it’s likely a let-down sickness, and I’m inclined to believe it.
Once the stress of Austin’s trauma and the aftermath has moved to another stage, my body crashed. Normally I can weather a Spring cold or allergy attack, but I just couldn’t do it this time. I slept til 3 on Friday, got up for the necessary, then slept til 5:30 when I finally got hungry and ate a bowl of cheerios.
Unbelievably I slept through the night as well, and into the day Sabbath. Sometimes you simply have to rest.
Greg sweetly stayed home with me, made me get up and walk outside to sit in the greenhouse, and made me a smoothie for breakfast/lunch. Shh–I didn’t know he knew how! 🤫
Yeah, it was just us and the cats today. I watched church online, slept some more, did a couple of hot/cold sinus treatments (basically dunking my face alternately into hot/cold water), which bring me so much relief. (I wrote about this several years ago. Sinus Pain at 2am)
Been drinking the nettle tea too, which does help some, because there is a ton of pollen out, but this time, I just think I was plumb tuckered out from the mental stress of this past month. Even though it’s gone so much better than it could have, we’ve all been through a stressful time with Austin almost dying.
I used to wonder why Mom would only get headaches on Sabbath, and I think that for moms, we sometimes unknowingly just make ourselves keep going til it’s safe to crash. I mean, I felt this coming on, but it wasn’t til Friday that it really got me and took me down. There’s a whole mind-body thing that’s worth exploring.
But enough about that.
Here are my companions –count 4!
We have flame azalea in bloom, Pink Lady’s Slippers, and more Spring wildflowers out there!
Earlier in the week I spied some!
We also have these funny little mushroom bowls. I thought they were kind of quirky!
Have a wonderful week!

As the son of Paul Pressey, one of the NBA’s first “point-forwards”, Phil Pressey’s acumen at organizing and conducting offenses has never been a surprise. This season, what has been a surprise is Phil Pressey’s new-found scoring aggression for the Santa Cruz Warriors.
With the unfortunate combination of a small 5’11 frame and unreliable jump shooting, Pressey had understandably concentrated his efforts more on creating scoring opportunities for his teammates rather than anything beyond the clearest of chances for himself. That mindset has pushed Pressey to average a pretty stellar 7.5 assists per game with a 2.1 Ast/TO ratio during his three years in the NBA D-League.
Despite the wise judiciousness of his shot volume, Pressey can also see his lack of scoring punch as his main deterrent from a regular role on a NBA roster.
For the 2016-17 NBADL season, Pressey seems to have decided he would make every effort to rectify that perceived scoring deficiency, whether ultimately successful or not. From his season last year as a member of the Idaho Stampede to this season, Pressey’s field goal attempts per game have leaped from 11.5 a game to 16.0. His three point attempt volume has also increased by over 50% from last season. This all leads to an unexpected 18.7 points per game as a Santa Cruz Warrior.
In this month of March, Pressey has doubled down harder on his new scoring mentality by averaging 25.0 points per game in his 4 games of the month. Even more impressively, Pressey has accumulated at least 10 assists in every March game except his last 26 point outing in a March 10th victory where he only got to reach a measly 9 assists for the contest. This stretch probably be best summarized by his 21 point, 15 rebound, 19 assist box-score bonanza on March 1st, one of the great performances in NBADL history.
Pressey’s recent play has helped spark a five game winning streak for the now 24-17 Santa Cruz Warriors. The Warriors famously try to implement as much of the NBA version’s ideologies and system as feasible and Pressey has become Santa Cruz’s version of Stephen Curry. Pressey’s style has shifted jarringly enough to give him the confidence to shoot 6 for 13 from beyond the arc in that aforementioned March 10th victory over the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.
Consistency from Pressey is now his next hurdle, especially with his newly hyperactive shooting stroke, but Pressey has already demonstrated once the willingness to grow in order to earn his team victories. Another development doesn’t sound too far-fetched now.

As winter continues to push towards spring, we will begin to see more and more wildlife returning to our area, coming back from warmer climates, and coming up from the ground as spring arrives in a month and a half. I have already seen one of my favorites- bluebirds (!) checking out our bluebird house to nest in this spring! If you love nature yourself, or have kids that are inquisitive and interested in wildlife, a few simple additions to your backyard could turn your yard into a space perfect for many types of birds, bees, frogs, and butterflies to live and flourish! Now is the perfect time to prepare for a spring wildlife garden.
Any one of these additions or combination of these will add more flapping and fluttering around your backyard in no time at all this Spring!
Bird houses: not all bird houses are meant for all birds. If there is a particular birdie you are especially fond of, look into making sure that bird is native to our area and what type of house they prefer.
Hummingbird feeders: hummingbirds are a joy to watch! Their little wings flap 40-80 times a second!!! Yes, per second!! I have a hummingbird feeder in my backyard and have enjoyed seeing them for years at it. I’ve also found they love flowers they can sink their long beak into; they have loved the Hyacinth Bean Vine I’ve grown the past couple of summers.
A couple different types of bird feeders/ different foods: there are so many cute bird feeders! Different feeders will attract different types of birds and well as different seeds can attract certain birds. Sunflower seeds tend to bring the widest variety of birds in our area.
If it is butterflies and (a few) bees you’re wanting to attract, planting these will bring them to your yard: butterfly bush, pincushion flower (Scabiosa ‘Butterfly Blue’), wildflowers if there is room in your yard, and flowering vines such as Morning Glory or Clematis.
Keep your birdbath full of clean, fresh water to attract more birds. Birds will not usually bathe or drink murky water or water that has been stagnant for a few days; it takes a little more time to pour out the old water and put in fresh, but it is so fun to see those birds splashing around in the birdbath, isn’t it?!
Regularly fresh bird bath water might even attract a frog or two!
Building a small pond can attract frogs!
Plant a new tree: in a few years it will provide a space for birds to nest and perch, as well as a nice shady area in your yard.
These options are sure to invite many birds, bees, frogs, and butterflies to your backyard! What ideas would you like to share on how to attract wildlife to your yard? What are some of your favorite animals and insects to attract? Thanks for stopping by!

It's too early to plant, but is the perfect time to be planning for your spring vegetable garden (and you can definitely start your seeds indoors now!)! With a record number of homeowners deciding to plant vegetable gardens for the first time last year (which made perfect sense during the global pandemic), many homeowners are craving more knowledge on how to grow their own food, with many wanting to grow in raised gardening beds. Today we will share many tips for gardening in raised beds, and we invite you to come by the nursery to ask us more questions, or reach out to us on Instagram or Facebook.
So, lettuce begin (did you catch that?).
1. Why should we use raised beds? This is a great question! You can definitely plant straight into the ground without a raised bed, but here today, this will be focused on the positives of raised bed gardening (which is also what I do each year in my backyard!), so we will list out many reasons to use a raised bed method for vegetable gardening.
One of the main reasons is that you can better control the soil. Who knows what the pH is of their soil? If I'm honest, me neither (although I do know mine is definitely more alkaline than acidic). How much clay is in your soil in your yard? I have it, too- welcome to Middle Tennessee! Having a raised bed helps you control what kind of soil your vegetables are growing in, resulting in a greater success of growing an excellent crop, and we all want that!
Another reason to use raised beds is if you have a small area to be able to garden. Raised beds look neat and tidy, and create a designated "zone" for your vegetable garden. There are established boundaries on where your plants can and cannot grow. If you are making several raised beds, you can also easily walk between each raised bed, which (especially if you have young children) lessens the chance of someone accidentally stepping onto plants or in a row of plants and their soil (such as directly in-ground).
Additionally, if you have dogs or cats that like to get into your garden, it can be easier to fence off or add protective features, such as netting or chicken wire, around your garden if need be, to keep pets and other critters (like hungry birdies!) away.
2. We won't get into specifics of how to build a raised bed (that's another long post for another day!), but here are some quick tips. You can make your raised bed/s out of many different materials. You can use natural wood, manmade wood, tires (yep, some people use tires! Shown above), galvanized tubs, or vinyl (just to name a few).
Ideally, you do not want a bottom to your raised beds. Many plants have deep roots and you do not want those roots to be bound by having a bottom to your raised bed. This will decrease production as well as hamper the health of your plant over the course of the growing season. Having, or renting, a small tiller would help immensely in breaking up the soil under where your raised bed will then be. If your raised bed is large enough, you can till directly into the soil once you've positioned your raised bed where you want it.
Tomatoes are a great example of a plant whose roots grow down very deep. When you plant tomatoes, you actually plant a large portion of their actual stem in the ground (not only the roots). This yields a higher crop and improves the stability and health of the plant. Watch this video for a how-to where you can see me planting tomatoes in my own raised garden bed:
3. What kind of soil does a raised bed need? You will hear a few different things depending on what website you look at, but a general rule of thumb is that you want 2/3 of your ratio to be topsoil (whether that is soil that you've tilled from your existing ground, or you add in topsoil- we offer great topsoil with no fillers, available in bags, here at the nursery) and 1/3 to be amendments. An excellent amendment, and one that several of us have used in our own beds, is Fox Farm Planting Mix.
This product contains earthworm castings; an almost, dare we say, magical fertilizer for growing vegetables. It also contains sphagnum peat moss, which is excellent for helping keep your raised bed uniformly moist in the hot summer sun.
4. What kind of plants can be planted in a raised bed? SO MANY! We are talking about warm-weather vegetable gardens right now (mainly because it's cold today and I'm dreaming about spring)- you can plant tomatoes, peppers, okra, herbs, cucumbers (although you may want a trellis for them), zucchini, squash, eggplant, watermelon, strawberries, and more (are you hungry now? Me too!). We are fortunate, in our climate, to be able to grow a wide variety of plants in both warm weather and cool weather.
Our frost date in Middle Tennessee is April 15th, which means that is usually around the time we stop seeing frosts and it becomes safe to plant vegetables outdoors. Please note that we can have a frost after this date, to where you would need to cover your plants if they are already in the ground. If you plan to build a raised bed this spring, we suggest having it built approximately a month or so before this frost date, so you can have ample time to amend your soil.
We offer a huge variety of vegetables in spring and encourage you to try growing a new vegetable this year that you haven't tried before. Ask us any questions on how to grow, as most of us at the garden center have been vegetable gardening ourselves for several years. We're happy to help, and I am glad you and I were able to dream about spring planting here together today! We look forward to seeing you soon at your local nursery.

I found myself getting more than a little choked up last week over the death of Michael Jackson
. Whatever the man may have been- and some of those things are certainly awful- he was the biggest thing in the world when I was growing up. I had a red leather jacket covered in zippers when I was five. I practiced for hours learning to moonwalk. In short, I was like pretty much every other kid who grew up in the '80s. I wanted to be Michael Jackson.
But then, just a few days later, I was surprised to find myself just as sad about the death of Billy Mays. I have no idea why, but I always enjoyed seeing Mays selling me some ridiculous product. He seemed so happy to be there, to have the job of selling gardening attachments for cordless drills and putty that was a real-life miracle. He wasn't creepy, like the Sham-Wow guy, or obnoxious like Ron Popeil. Somehow, even though Billy Mays was always trying to sell me something stupid, I still liked him. And I think that deserves at least a moment of recognition.

Kathy, Holly and JeffWe are heart broken over the loss of Matt. He was such a sweet boy and man. We have all learned that life is not measured by the number of breaths that we take, but rather by the number of breathless moments we create, and Matt certainly created many of them for all of us. We will all remember him for the great good he did during his brief life. He always made time for those he cared about. We will always remember him as a little boy, waiting for us on the curb out in front of the house.We love you all and you are in our prayers.Aunt Diane and Uncle Freddy

Dear Kathy, Holly and JeffI'm so sorry to hear of Matt's passing. I have such GREAT memories of the whole Inmon crew - babysitting, and loving you all. I remember that baby in a tired diaper and white t-shirt - I could never catch him to get him all the way dressed! He was such a loving child - then seeing him again when I was teaching at LWJH - he had become a loving young man!
Kathy & Holly, I'm so sorry to hear about Matt - my prayers are with you and all the family. God Bless, Vanessa
Dear Kathy, Jeff and Holly, My heart goes out to you in the loss of Matt. As a long time friend of Lanell, I have always felt close to your whole family. You will be in my prayers...Tootie
Dear Kathy, Holly and Jeff,We never expect to be confronted with the loss of a child and I can tell you from experience, I know the depth of your sorrows. Please accept our most sincere sympathy in the loss of Matthew. Our days at Sherwood First Baptist were so long ago, but it only seems like a blink of the eye. Please know that Larry and I will be thinking of you and you will be in our prayers throughout the next months and years.
Jeff & Holly,Our hearts go out to you....After losing Merideth last month, I know the pain you are both going thru. All I can say is, remember all the good times you had with Matt. The world won't be the same without Matt.
Kathy,Holly and Jeff,I'm praying that God will fill the huge vacancy that you are now experiencing with the loss of your dear son and brother. Matt had a sweet spirit and will be greatly missed by our family. I know Matt was somewhat of a force of nature from the time he was born. I rememberhis Mom saying she stayed home all day his first day in kindergarten expecting a call from his teacher. But, he made it and she was thrilled. In reality, his teachers remember him as sweet and respectful as do mny others who knew Matt. Matt is in a better place now, but will be deeply missed. We love you all and know that God will give you the strength to face the coming days.
I am so sorry Matt's life ended this way. Remembering the times that we made mud pies and had mud fights and the many times we played "King of the Mountain" are memories I have always held on to and will continue to as long as I live. It saddens me that the fun we had as young kids and cousins is only left in the memories of the 3 of us now. Holly and Jeff, my prayers and thoughts are with you both. I know how much the 3 of you loved one another. And, Kathy, I can't imagine the heart ache you must feel. I am so sorry and I hope all of you are getting through this okay. I love all of you! Lee
Matt was such a sweet person. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Sorry for your loss. We are here for you if you need anything.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
May GOD be with you in your time of need. Our prayers are with you.
I'll always remember the fun times we had at school. Never a boring day with Matt around. He will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the Inmon family.
Sorry to hear about matt, our thoughts and prayers are with you duringthis time.Norman and Shirley Clifton
My deepest sympathys to you all.
I am so sorry for your loss.... It saddens my heart that he is gone. I have so many fun memories of all of us hanging out in the neighborhood. He was like a little brother to many. Kathy, Holly and Jeff you are in my thoughts and prayers.Tara White-Williams
My heart goes out to "All the Inmon Family"

Why Is Drinking Water Important? 6 Reasons to Stay Hydrated
Do you drink enough water each day? If not, your overall health may be taking a toll. And why is drinking water important? Drinking water regularly can help you to lose weight, think better, be in a better mood, prevent disease, and more.
I follow the advice to drink enough water myself. One item I could not live without, in fact, is my water bottle. To make sure I have one with me at all times, I own several. I keep one each in my car, purse, and backpack, so pretty much everywhere I go, I have a water bottle on hand. I also keep a reusable cup with a lid and straw next to me all day long, so I can easily drink water throughout the day.
Why Our Bodies Need Water
How much of the human body is water? It might surprise you to learn that water makes up about 60 percent of our body weight.
And what does water do for the body? The benefits of drinking water are many: It’s vital for almost every function in the body. Water acts as a building block, a solvent for chemical reactions, and a transport material for nutrients and waste.
Water also helps maintain blood volume and allows proper circulation, helps regulate our body temperature, and acts as a shock absorber for our joints and our brain. There are still more health benefits of water: It helps lubricate the linings of our inner organs and maintains healthy kidney function.
Water Your Body: 6 Benefits
Drinking plenty of water can help keep your body healthy and functioning at its highest capacity. Staying hydrated will help you to:
- Improve physical performance. During physical activity, our bodies use up a lot of water. So stay hydrated before, during, and after exercise helps to protect your body from harm, and to help you to perform better. Proper hydration can reduce fatigue, improve endurance, lower your maximum heart rate, and more. Drinking water can also help you to be less sore after exercise.
- Help you to lose weight. Are you having trouble with your weight loss efforts? Increasing your water intake may help you achieve better results. Studies show that people who are on diets lose more weight when they also increase their water intake. In one study, people on weight loss diets who drank 500 ml of water before each of their three daily meals for 12 weeks lost 4.6 more pounds on average than people who did not drink the additional water.
- Boost your mood. People who drink more water also tend to have better moods. One study found that when people who regularly drank less than 1.2 liters of water per day increased their intake to 2.5 liters per day, the participants experienced significantly less confusion, bewilderment, fatigue, and sleepiness. On the other hand, for people who regularly drank two to four liters of water per day who were then restricted to one liter per day, the reduced water intake led negative effects on mood, including decreased contentedness, calmness, and positive emotions.
- Boost your brainpower. When you drink more water, you may improve your cognitive performance, too. Several studies have shown that people drinking water during cognitive tasks performed much better than those people who did not drink water during the tasks. These results have been found in both adults and children.[8-10] Studies suggest that even mild dehydration can impair cognitive function in the short-term.So next time you need to focus, take a test, or use all of your brainpower, keep a glass of water next to you and keep sipping.
- Prevent headaches. Water deprivation is a very common cause of headache. In most cases, rehydrating can provide relief from a headache. For some people, dehydration can also trigger a migraine, so be sure to keep your water intake regular if you are prone to getting migraines or headaches.
- Protect against disease. One of the most important answers to the question “Why is water important?” is its role in disease prevention. Proper hydration may be a useful tool in preventing a variety of health conditions and diseases. Staying hydrated may protect against kidney stones, constipation, asthma, urinary tract infections, coronary heart disease, and even possibly some cancers.
How Much Water Should You Drink a Day?
The amount of water you need to drink will depend on several factors, including your age, gender, activity level, and more. However, here’s a good general guideline when it comes to recommended daily water intake: Women should drink at least 2.21 liters per day and men should drink three liters per day.
Increase your daily water intake as you increase your activity level. Be sure to always drink filtered water to avoid toxins found in tap water.
As you age, you will likely feel less thirsty and thus be prone to drinking less fluid. However, hydration is as important as ever in old age, so be sure to keep water on hand and drink regularly throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
Need help drinking more water? Keep track of your water intake by measuring your progress with a cup or water bottle placed in a spot you will see it throughout the day. Set goals for yourself at time points throughout the day to make sure you are drinking enough.

Nintendo’s new Switch with an OLED screen seems promising for people who’ve wanted a bigger, more vibrant display to play games. That’s worth getting excited about (despite the apparent lack of spec improvements inside), but I’m just as pleased that Nintendo revised the truly horrible kickstand present in the original Switch. Instead of the flimsy, fragile stand that’s prone to wobbling (or breaking if you’re unlucky), the new one takes a page from Microsoft’s Surface Pro tablets — and seems a lot better for it.
Looking at the new Switch console’s backside, the kickstand is much wider, extending across the entire bottom part of the tablet to better support its weight. Nintendo’s announcement video shows the improved kickstand supporting custom adjustments, which should give you more ways to comfortably use it.
There are several multiplayer and single-player games releasing this year on the Switch that’ll benefit from this improved kickstand. At E3 2021, Nintendo announced new Mario Party and WarioWare games as well as a remaster of the first two Advance Wars games. The company is also releasing Metroid Dread on October 8th — the same day that the Switch with OLED is launching.
Why it took Nintendo 15 years to make Metroid Dread
Despite being almost five years old, the original Switch hardware has endured because it’s clever and well-built and because it relies upon standards like USB-C and microSD. The fiddly kickstand was a glaring misstep, and it’s great to see that Nintendo has reworked it in the new OLED version. I’m not suggesting that it’s worth upgrading to this new $349.99 console just because of the kickstand, but it’ll certainly sweeten the deal if you usually use the Switch in portable model or could see yourself doing so.
It’d be ideal if Nintendo’s learnings trickled down to the less expensive model, mostly because an improved kickstand would be a really strange feature to reserve for its most premium console. Perhaps we’ll hear more about it as we get closer to its October 8th release date.
Correction: We originally suggested the kickstand notch might help route a cable for hands-free charging, but that’s not yet clear.

Routine roof maintenance helps keep your roof in good working order, preventing water damage to your building from rain and snow storms.
It’s much easier to check your roof for issues now than after it’s covered by snow and ice this winter. Plus, if you do discover a problem, you’ll have plenty of time to have repairs completed before the snow flies.
Here are our top 5 commercial roof preventive maintenance tasks to tackle this fall.
1.) Clear Debris From Your Roof
As debris like leaves, sticks, twigs, dirt, and pine needles build up, it adds weight to your roof. If that debris is allowed to stay untouched over the winter, its weight will be compounded by ice and snow, putting stress on your roofing system.
Debris gathered on your roof can also trap moisture, leading to rot or mold that, over time, will break down your roofing material and cause leaks. And as pooled moisture freezes in the winter, it can harm your roof’s membrane and shorten its lifespan.
To prevent these issues, take time each fall to clear off the accumulated debris from your roof.
2.) Clean Out Gutters and Downspouts
Keeping your gutters cleaned out is a crucial part of maintaining a healthy roofing system.
Contrary to what you might think, a flat roof isn’t completely flat — in reality, a “flat” roof is slightly sloped. That sloping allows water to flow to your gutters and through your roof drains, helping to keep your roof free of standing water.
But when gutters become clogged with leaves and other debris, they can overflow during rainstorms, potentially damaging your roof, membrane, trim, and siding.
Clogs can also cause water to pool and freeze in the winter, leading to ice dams. Ice dams weigh down your gutters and downspouts, potentially causing damage to them — in some cases, the weight of ice dams can even pull gutters away from your building.
Having your gutters cleaned regularly by a professional will help prevent these problems and keep your roof maintenance costs down.
3.) Check Caulk and FlashingChanging temperatures and harsh winter weather can wear down caulking over time, eventually leading to roof leaks.
Take a moment to check the caulk around flashing and seams, watching for cracks or areas of missing caulk. If your caulk or flashing are in poor condition, have them replaced before winter weather hits.
If you do need your flashing replaced, it’s important to have it done by a professional, as improperly installed flashing can lead to roof leaks.
4.) Look For Signs of Deterioration
Periodically check your roof for early signs of deterioration, especially after storms roll through. Even small rainstorms or wind gusts can cause deterioration over time. Pay special attention to areas of your roof where vertical and horizontal surfaces meet, as these areas are particularly vulnerable.
Here are a few things to watch out for:
- Look for rust, cracks, or corrosion on flashing
- Dips or soft spots can indicate rot or structural problems beneath the surface of your roof, as can curling or open seams and tears in the membrane
- Water or mud stains on your roof indicate that water has been pooling. Stains around drainage pipes typically mean that the drains themselves are clogged, while stains in other areas of your roof could signify that your roof is sagging and water is collecting in those areas
Consistent preventive maintenance is the best way to catch these problems before they cause serious damage to your roof and your building.
5.) Schedule a Commercial Roof Inspection With Roof Tech
Staying up to date on commercial roof preventive maintenance will keep debris and clogs from causing unnecessary damage to your roof, ensure your roof drains properly, and reduce the damage your roof sustains throughout the year.
It’s also important to schedule a routine commercial roof inspection each fall to ensure your roof is prepared to withstand the coming winter weather.
Contact Roof Tech today to request a commercial roof inspection. Our knowledgeable technicians will conduct a thorough inspection and provide recommendations for repairs to make sure your roof is in tip top shape this winter.

Affiliate marketing is not a novelty. For more than two decades, the idea existed. It started to bloom back in 1996, when Amazon launched its first affiliate marketing program.
Nowadays, the global affiliate marketing industry statistics are staggering and are forecasted to continue rising at an impressive rate. If you are in an online business, it’s high time you joined the trend and increased your traffic and sales.
What is affiliate marketing?
In a nutshell, affiliate marketing is when a third party promotes someone else’s business to generate traffic or lead to a particular product or service. The reward is a fixed fee or a sale percentage. These refunds are paid by click or impression and most frequently per successful sale.
Affiliate marketing system
There are four obligatory elements to form an affiliate marketing system:
- the seller – a business who wants to promote a service or a product
- the affiliate – a blogger, a digital marketing service, or a digital marketing company that promotes the seller’s product or service
- the consumer – an individual or a business that buys the product or the service
- the network – even though promotion is possible through an individual effort, using an affiliate network significantly increases traffic and sales opportunity
Affiliate marketing is available to and suitable for all types of businesses with an online presence anywhere in the world. Dubai, being the leader in so many business areas, is no exception. So, how can a business improve its online marketing and boost sales using affiliate marketing?
A hugely important thing to bear in mind when contemplating whether to invest time and effort in affiliate marketing should be the fact that online business is booming there. The stats that took off in 2019 and made Dubai the fastest growing e-commerce market in the area continued to progress this year. This has a lot to do with the COVID-19 pandemic and the overall trend of transferring from store to online business that has been present worldwide for decades now.
Depending on whether you are an influencer/ content creator or a business owner, there are two possible routes to take.
- Influencers/ content creators: the most profitable use of the rising number of the visitors coming to your blog is to use the opportunity and transfer their attention to a product or a service that you deem worth advertising on your blog. It is essential that you fully stand by the product/service you market. Since your readers’ trust is of the utmost importance for long-term success. To get the opportunity to find businesses that are looking for affiliates, you need to enter an affiliate marketing program.
- Business owner: to increase your product or service interest and improve sales through affiliate marketing, you will need to hire an affiliate to promote the affiliate network and various digital marketing services. Once again, affiliate networks are the best place to find the right affiliate for your needs.
How to join an affiliate network in Dubai?
Again, there are two roads to take for both business owners and affiliates.
The first would be to join a local affiliate network in Dubai. There are several successful digital marketing companies that are actively involved with affiliate marketing programs. Meaclick, Optimoz IT, Arabclicks, EDS FZE, and Entero are among the most prolific ones, all equally capable of providing the best that affiliate marketing strategies have to offer to increase traffic and sales. This local option would be a better choice for all businesses that are either just starting their affiliate marketing campaigns or have a product or a service that is more suitable for the local market. Building a local customer base would be more efficient and profitable.
The second would be to opt for one of the global affiliate networks. There are hundreds of available options, however, choosing one of the top-rated list, such as ShareASale, Awin, or Amazon Associates, is always advisable for those affiliate marketing novices who wish to expand their business globally and reach the most comprehensive scope of audience possible. This option is more suited for those who are beginners in affiliate marketing but already run an established business. They can afford the services of the best digital marketing companies and, in the majority of cases, lack time to get into the matter in closer detail, something that is usually required when venturing into the affiliate world for the first time with a less experienced online marketing service available.
What are the costs of affiliate marketing?
There are four primary payment methods for affiliates:
- Pay per Click – a fee (usually small) is paid to an affiliate for every successful click sent to a business owner’s site.
- Pay per Lead – a fee is paid for every lead or inquiry made on the business owner’s site.
- Pay per Sale (fixed commission) – a fee is paid to the affiliate for every successful sale.
- Pay per Sale ( percentage) – an affiliate receives an arranged percentage of the sale price for every successful purchase
Pay per Click and Pay per Lead is affiliate marketing methods that are used to increase traffic and attract new potential customers. When it comes to sales improvement, Pay per Sale options, just as their name says it, are preferred methods both for vendors and affiliates. Which to choose obviously depends on which goal a particular business wishes to achieve with this marketing campaign.
When to expect the first results?
Just as it is the case with any other marketing campaign, the time needed for the first noticeable results to come in this type of campaign primarily depends on the type of product advertised, how well the target audience is chosen, the content of the campaign, and the skills of the digital marketing company that is used to facilitate all these components.
One thing is sure; it will take time and effort to organize and run a successful affiliate marketing campaign in Dubai, just like anywhere else in the world. Careful planning, partners’ choice, and patience are needed to improve traffic and sales regardless of the business line in question. However, it will indeed prove to be worthwhile.

The RedZone training was developed solely with the purpose of providing practical skills for
coaches to use in high emotional conflicts with parents, athletes, or administration. These skills include diffusing confrontations, mediating parent-coach meetings and conflicts, as well as building a culture around predicting and preventing conflict. RRG uses online courses as a way to get everyone speaking the same language surrounding conflict, and the in-person training as a way to incorporate interactive real-life scenarios for the coaches to implement the skills they learned online under the supervision of conflict resolution professionals.
RedZone Training for Coaches and Staff
1. Online training courses:
Online course per month designed to equip the coach with a specific practical skill. The courses are designed to provide a new viewpoint for the coach to look at highly emotional conflict, and leave them with practical skills for them to
implement in their next parent meeting or conflict with an athlete. The underlying theme of the courses are to train the coach to predict and prevent conflict. The courses include
an assessment designed to identify the triggers of the coach, and the types of conflicts that trigger them.
2. In-Person Professional Development:
The primary purpose of the online training is to enable the in-person training to be interactive. RRG surveys they team to determine the
most common conflicts and then designs scenarios for the coaches to practice the skills learned in the online training in front of conflict professionals.
ONLINE TOPIC LIST FOR REDZONE
Foundation of a Conflict Leader 1.0:
Foundations of a Conflict Leader 1.0 is a dynamic course offering a foundation of terms, ideas, practices, and common languages to help you get an honest view of
the conflict management landscape. This course is built upon proven conflict management concepts to help you as an educational leader by helping everyone in your organization speak the same conflict management language.
Foundation of a Conflict Leader 2.0:
Foundations of a Conflict Leader 2.0 is designed to carry forward the common language you learned in Foundations of a Conflict Leader 1.0 and transition that into practical actions that will immediately begin to positively affect your day-to-day practices. You will get an honest self-evaluation of your conflict style, and you will learn how your personality and the way you communicate helps or hurts your ability to influence others and resolve conflict.
Generational Conflict is an industry leading course that helps education professionals not only understand the multitude of generations, but it empowers our conversations to move through the generational barriers, thus making way for understanding and teamwork. After completing this course you will be more informed on what to do when you’re in conflict with an athlete or parent who is from a different generation, when you’re managing a generationally diverse group of people, and how to motivate your collective group athletes who have all have
different work and communication styles.
High emotion and reason do not function in the brain at the same time. We have all seen a small conflict escalate into a major dispute, and typically this happens because someone says or does something they typically wouldn’t do. This course focuses on equipping coaches with
practical skills for diffusing a highly emotional confrontation, setting a parent meeting, and mediating the conflict.

You guys. So I was totally planning on publishing this recipe tomorrow but I literally cannot wait another minute to share this Shrimp Scampi Risotto.
Yep. Shrimp Scampi and Risotto, all together. Done in well under an hour. Requires very minimal prep work and you will feel FANCY.
So fancy in fact that I had to pull myself off the arm of my couch to write this post because I could not stop eating this risotto right out of the pot that was still laying on my photo board. I’m going to have no appetite for dinner and it is 100% WORTH IT.
In my mind I envisioned this recipe because I was thinking about what I was going to make for Valentine’s Day dinner. Are you a Valentine’s Day celebrator? We aren’t big on Valentine’s Day in our house but we do typically make a slightly fancier dinner than we would on a normal weeknight. Often times these dinners include some combination of steak, shrimp, risotto or mac and cheese and a vegetable. We are pretty predictable like that.
Not being one to stray from the norm, I was thinking of ways to switch things up when the Shrimp Scampi Risotto seemed like an obvious answer. Skip the steaks, make one big dish and I can roast up some veggies on the side. Perfection.
Let me tell you, this dish really is perfection. Buttery, creamy, rich and super simple to make.
Yes, I said simple.
If you have never made risotto, it may seem daunting. If you watch any cooking competition shows it’s one of the only things that always gets heavy critiques and sends people home. I promise you it’s not that scary. Unless the crew from Top Chef is coming for dinner, I have no doubts this dish will get 5 stars!
Ask any of my roommates, I would make risotto all the time in college. That’s how easy it is. We were broke, had minimal kitchen equipment and a very old, very finicky stove. It was also the dish most requested by my roommates and the one everyone fought over
the leftovers! If 21-year-old Alex can make really good risotto after a 12 hour marathon of studying and exams (ahem, and maybe a bottle of wine) – you can perfect it on a Wednesday night rushing home after work.
Whether you want a special Valentine’s Day dinner for someone special, a Galentine’s night with your friends or just something to use up that shrimp that is dying in your fridge – this recipe is for you!
Shrimp Scampi Risotto
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, divided into tablespoons
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 medium onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 3-4 cups chicken stock
- 2/3 pound shrimp
- 1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
In a large pot or skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Once melted, add onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add arborio rice and white wine and simmer until wine has cooked out almost completely.
Once the wine has reduced, add one cup of chicken stock to the pot and stir occasionally, just enough to make sure the rice isn't sticking to the bottom of the pot. Once nearly all the stock is absorbed, add the next cup of stock. Continue until rice is cooked completely - it should be soft enough to chew but still have a little bite to it. You don't want it to be complete mush.
When risotto is cooked, add 1/4 cup of stock, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of butter and the Parmesan cheese and stir until combined. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Turn heat to low and set aside.
In a separate skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and shrimp and saute 2-3 minutes per side or until shrimp is opaque. Add crushed red pepper flakes, the juice of half a lemon and chopped parsley and stir.
Pour shrimp scampi over the risotto and serve immediately. Garnish with lemon wedges and more fresh parsley.
Cooking with wine can sometimes be a bit challenging. For this recipe, I recommend using a Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. Choose a wine you like and would drink on it's own because even though the alcohol will mostly cook out, the flavor is what remains!

Finding somewhere to live can be daunting, especially if you are moving to the Netherlands for the first time. Around 10,000 students will all be looking for a room at the same time in Groningen and Leeuwarden so start your search as soon as possible. It is your own responsibility to find a place to live. The University of Groningen does NOT provide accommodation for students. Please check at home in Groningen for available accommodation.
Please do not underestimate the challenge of finding accommodation as it is often a long and stressful process. Therefore, finding accommodation is a priority and you should reserve a room as early as possible. For example, if you are starting your studies in September, we strongly advise that you begin actively looking for a room in April.
Ensure that you have found a room before 1 August if you will be studying in Groningen or Leeuwarden. If you decide to come to Groningen or Leeuwarden without pre-arranged housing, then you are highly likely to find yourself in hotels or hostels, if there is still space. This will involve high costs, inconvenience, and stress. This will likely last for a long period of time, probably months after your arrival. If you find accommodation outside of the city, then make sure you consider the potential extra travel time and travel costs. If you have not found accommodation before 1 August, we strongly advise you not to come to Groningen or Leeuwarden.
Temporary accommodation is full
Since 1 August, almost all student housing in the city of Groningen has been full. Through the housing organisation SSH (Short Stay Housing), a limited amount of temporary housing has been made available for new, international students. SSH's temporary housing is currently full. For more information, please visit the housing platform www.athomeingroningen.com. Further housing opportunities can still be found via roomfinder.athomeingroningen.com.
Below you can find a video with student testimonials about the difficulties they encountered in finding housing:
The Municipality of Groningen has recently started a collaboration with Hospi Housing, which connects students with verified local hosts and guest families. In this way, you can find a room and at the same time meet residents who know Groningen well, which will help you create new cultural connections and feel at home in the city. Signing up, searching and chatting with hosts is free of charge for an unlimited amount of time. If you find a room on the platform, Hospi Housing charges a one-time fee equalling 50% of the first month’s rent. In return they ensure that the platform is 100% scam-free, support you in the matchmaking process and help draft a contract.
A useful starting place when searching for housing is www.athomeingroningen.com. This platform was set up by the municipality and educational institutions in the city of Groningen - including the UG - and is intended as a 'one-stop shop' in finding accommodation. As well as a directory of available private sector rooms, the website outlines the housing situation in Groningen, explains (Dutch language) rental terminology and offers advice on how to avoid being scammed online.
Tips on finding accommodation
We urge you to be aware that there are untrustworthy landlords and unreliable room rental agencies out there. A few things to keep in mind:
Many students will be trying to find a place to live at the beginning of the academic year and during the summer months. It’s therefore wise to start looking for a room as early as possible.
Always use official websites or companies that you can trace to a physical address.
The agency costs and rental fees of both commercial agencies and private landlords can be high. Remain critical, visit the room beforehand and always read your contract carefully.
Be aware of scammers.
Do not pay anything before you have a written contract and always ask for a receipt of payment.
If the rent looks too good to be true for the location/type of housing, or the pictures are unidentifiable, you might be looking at something that is not genuine.
Avoid identity theft: never send a copy of your passport to strangers. If you do share a copy of your passport, make sure to block personal
If you wish to rent a room in a building that has three or more residents, you should check if the proprietor has the correct permit.
Do not go to a viewing alone. If possible, take a Dutch speaker with you.
University College accommodation
If you are joining a programme at University College Groningen or University College Fryslân - you will be living residentially with your classmates. Here you will get your own studio with a private kitchen, bathroom, living space and bedroom and only the 'common area' is shared with classmates to study together or socialize. We recommend contacting your faculty if you have any questions about your stay.
Please note: At this point in time there are no Covid-19 regulations in place. It is your own responsibility to act according to the newest Covid-19 rules / regulations set by the Dutch government.

The combat regulations of the Russian Armed Forces will be changed. A special commission will work on them, which will soon be created in the Ministry of Defense, sources told Izvestia. The basic documents on the conduct of military operations will be updated taking into account the experience gained during modern wars and military conflicts, including during the special operation in Ukraine. The current version of the documents was adopted in 2017 and included the Syrian experience. According to experts, the new guidelines will define the role of unmanned aircraft, revise the approach to the use of motorized rifle units, the organization of air defense and electronic warfare.
More relevant than ever
The Ministry of Defense plans to create a special commission to amend the combat regulations and instructions for combat work of the branches of the Armed Forces and branches of the Armed Forces, sources in the military department told Izvestia. The amendments will take into account the experience of modern wars and military conflicts.
For the first time, the issue of making changes to the combat regulations was raised at a military conference held in March this year under the leadership of the Chief of the General Staff of the Ground Forces, Alexander Lapin. It discussed the development of the theory and practice of operational art and tactics, improving the methods of action of formations, military units and Land Forces units.
The conference participants suggested reworking the structure and content of the main combat regulations, taking into account the experience of the special military operation in Ukraine. General Lapin gave instructions to the leadership of military universities on the preparation and design of methodological materials.
"This is a very relevant topic, because these charters have never been revised since the conflict in Syria," military expert Viktor Murakhovsky told Izvestia. — There have been many changes: regarding drones, and regarding the use of artillery, tanks, and other weapons systems. They led to the fact that the role of infantry in combat is changing. And thus the tactics of combined-arms combat are also changing. The very art of combat is changing. New documents should reflect this. As well as the role of not only infantry, but also tanks, artillery, and types of support. UAVs today participate directly in combat, and this must be taken into account.
During the special military operation in Ukraine, combat operations are fundamentally different from those conducted by the Soviet and Russian armies in recent decades. Russian troops are confronted by a large regular army with all kinds of conventional weapons, and the line of contact stretches for about a thousand kilometers.
The new charters will take into account how to organize the coherence of units, their interaction, suggested military expert Alexey Leonkov.
— It can also include tactics that have been forgotten, but now look in a new way. You can recall the tactics of conducting urban battles, but already in modern times, for example, using quadrocopters. Most likely, they will mention the reconnaissance and fire contour, innovations in communication nodes, automated control systems, methods of combating drones, organization of air defense, electronic warfare, " the expert believes.
On February 21 of this year, President Vladimir Putin, addressing the Federal Assembly, said that steps to strengthen the Russian army and navy should be based on real combat experience gained during a special military operation in Ukraine. "This experience is extremely important for us, one can say more, it is absolutely priceless," the head of state stressed at the time.
The combat charter is a fundamental document that should guide commanders at all levels in the organization of combat operations and in the management of troops in the zone of military conflicts. They contain regulations for all occasions.
It describes in detail how the firing positions are equipped, what is the distance between them, what area of defense the battalion occupies, the order of actions of the first and second echelon units in the offensive, the duties of the shooter, machine gunner, tank commander. In short, every soldier, from the division commander to the private, must act in accordance with this document. Separate sections also tell you how to operate in non-standard conditions — in the mountains, in the woods, in the city.
The battle charter is divided into three parts. The first one describes the actions of the regiment, brigade, and division. The organization, staffing structure and tactics of these formations are classified information, so this part is closed. The second part contains instructions for company and battalion commanders. The third section describes the actions of a platoon, squad, or tank.
Until the mid-2000s, the Russian army was guided by combat regulations developed in Soviet times. They were written during the Cold War, so they contain information about how troops should act when multi-million armies collide in the European theater of operations.
Even in the course of the Afghan war, where partisan actions were conducted against the Soviet Army, many provisions of the main combat document were not applicable. The troops on the ground worked out new tactics through trial and error. This concerned the movement of columns to avoid ambushes, the organization of permanent deployment points, and the planning of combat operations. Later, the situation was repeated during the Chechen campaigns. Only after that, new combat regulations were developed, which took into account the experience of local military conflicts.
The next version of the document was prepared during the military reforms of the beginning of the last decade, it was approved in 2014. In those years, the troops were transferred from the divisional structure to the brigade structure, which was reflected in the documents, but this practice did not justify itself.
The current version of the combat charter was approved in 2017. It includes the experience gained during the fighting in Syria. In particular, a lot of attention is paid to fighting in the city, storming premises, the work of sniper pairs and sniper groups.

HOUSTON — Rusty Hardin is ranked as one of the top Texas lawyers in both commercial litigation and white-collar crime and government investigations in the 2018 edition of the prestigious Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business. He was also recognized as a top national trial lawyer.
It is rare for lawyers to be rated highly by Chambers USA in two such diverse categories as civil litigation and white-collar crime and government investigations. Rusty was ranked in Band 1, the highest level, in both categories. A prosecutor before he launched Rusty Hardin & Associates, LLP, Rusty has shown a unique talent for trying any type of case. He even famously excelled in a massive probate case.
Labeled “extraordinary” by Chambers, he is also listed as a “Recognized Practitioner” in the Nationwide, Litigation: Trial Lawyers category.
“I consider him to be the best trial lawyer in the state of Texas,” one interviewee told Chambers. Another source said: “If I were in Houston and had a lawsuit that I needed to win, he would be the person I would call. He is smart, hard-working, knows how to organize a team and has a charismatic personality.”
Chambers wrote that Rusty is “sought out to handle extremely complex commercial litigation and white-collar matters. He wins great acclaim for his trial skills.”
Published by London-based Chambers and Partners, Chambers USA is known worldwide for its thorough guides to the legal profession. Recognition is based on thousands of attorney and client interviews designed to identify law firms and lawyers who demonstrate the top technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, diligence, commitment, and other qualities most valued by clients.
Rusty Hardin is an accomplished trial lawyer in complex civil matters and significant criminal cases. His experience has included representing public and private corporations in commercial litigation and regulatory investigations, leading to several landmark verdicts and historic settlements. In addition, he is well-known for his representation of high-profile individuals and professional athletes. Mr. Hardin was once named by The National Law Journal as one The 100 Most Influential Lawyers in America and has been honored as a fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America and as a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates.

OSHA updates inspection program for federal sites
Washington – OSHA’s method for targeting federal workplaces for programmed inspections has been updated for the new fiscal year.
Released Jan. 4, the updated Federal Agency Targeting Inspection Program directive (.pdf file) for FY 2012 includes the following changes:
- The directive is reorganized to more closely resemble the inspection process established in the OSHA Field Operations Manual (.pdf file).
- A provision allows OSHA regions to develop their own Special Emphasis Programs for federal agencies that have alternate or supplementary standards.
- The directive includes a clarification of an area director’s decision-making process regarding conducting additional inspections at some establishments.
The program is used to determine which of the most hazardous federal workplaces will be inspected, similar to OSHA’s Site-Specific Targeting Program (.pdf) for private industry. FEDTARG was launched in 2008 following a 2006 Government Accountability Office audit that recommended OSHA develop a targeted inspection program for federal worksites.

About The Book
“Children will come away thinking they have heard something quite profound about love, fear, and hope for the future.”
– Booklist (starred review)
Eddie Beckey makes lists for just about everything and everyone in her life. And for matters of real importance, she wears (and snaps) an array of colored rubber bands on her wrist. Unfortunately, the world is not always so orderly and knowable. No list can help her cope with what’s happening to her best friend, Sally — or change the course of things for Sally’s grandmother, whom Eddie has grown to love and depend on as well. With subtlety and insight, novelist Alison McGhee tells the story of a young girl’s first encounter with grief, and of the enduring power of friendship.

Doug Creamer column: Welcome fall
Published 12:00 am Sunday, September 26, 2021
By Doug Creamer
My Chinese students had a holiday from school this week. It is their Autumn Festival. It is a family gathering time, and they celebrate by eating special foods. The most popular thing they enjoy is Mooncakes. My students tell me it is a cake that is stuffed with either fruits or nuts.
I checked my calendar and noticed that Autumn arrived on Wednesday. After the long, hot, and dry summer, I am ready for the refreshing change that fall brings. Fall is my second favorite season of the year, behind spring.
Spring is a season of hope and renewal. I am always so excited to begin the gardening season. I love watching everything emerge from winter’s slumber. Spring green has got to be one of my favorite seasonal colors. Spring is a wonderful time of the year.
Fall has many appeals as well. The cooler weather means that I can be outside more. I can’t stand the heat and humidity of August. I like pushing the limits of the growing season, and ultimately, cleaning out the garden. I like sitting outside or going for long walks, and the opportunity of doing some physical work.
The downside for me is the watering eyes, runny nose, and sneezing of the allergy season… I take a break during the summer from my allergy medicine, and I know that will soon come to an end.
The arrival of fall also alerts me to the upcoming winter season. I love to look at the long-term forecasts as weather enthusiasts make their winter predictions. I find it fun to note that the two almanacs are calling for completely different winter conditions for our area. One is calling for mild and wet, while the other is calling for cold and dry. I believe we are in for an overall mild winter with a couple of shots of cold weather. I am hoping the cold collides with some Gulf moisture to give us a couple of good snows, but I always hope for that.
Winter will arrive all in good time. Right now I want to focus on and enjoy the cooler weather of fall. There are many chores that will demand my attention as we go through this season of change. I am ready to get started on all the tasks calling my name.
I believe the Lord gives us seasons for our enjoyment. Each season has its beauty and wonder, but they also have trials and challenges. There are storms and dry spells, scorching heat and freezing cold. Each challenge helps us to appreciate the good days.
I think the Lord wants us to see in the natural what happens in the spiritual. We all have seasons of growth in our lives. Usually that is followed by a season of fruitfulness. As the fruit wanes we discover a quieter season where we have to dig our roots deeper.
In every season of our lives we will encounter storms. We have to remind ourselves that we will get through each storm that comes our way because God will be with us. He sees the storm coming and he sees us on the other side. Sometimes we will need friends and family to lean on, but we will survive and overcome.
Sometimes things in our lives change, like the seasons. They aren’t tragedies or victories; they are times when things are different. We move or change jobs. We get married and have children. We send the kids to college and have an empty nest. Our parents move in with us. The kids move back home. Life feels like it is in upheaval; it’s changing, it’s different, and we have to learn to trust God in new ways for his new adventure.
In every season of life God is always with us, never leaving us. He wants to walk with us through the changes, through the ups and downs of life. These are opportunities for us to draw closer to God. He wants us to lean on him, to depend on him. His grace, power, and mercy are enough to see us through the dark and difficult times. His love will encompass us.
Whatever season you find yourself in, I want to encourage you to strengthen your relationship with the Lord. If things are good now, draw closer, because trials and storms are going to eventually come. If you are feeling overwhelmed by life, run to God and hide in his robes. Let him help guide you through to the other side. God loves you more than you can imagine, and is waiting for your invitation so he can come and rescue you.

I remember this time last year like it was an hour ago.
Everything stopped with a sudden hush. The photographers, stylists and retouchers on my roster contacted me to discuss what this might mean for their business. We greeted each other on zoom with nervous laughter and traded the various COVID memes trending at that moment. There were some funny ones. We discussed the possibility of business stalling for a month or two. We had no way of knowing that the mysterious pandemic would impact our business and our lives for 12+ months.
And so, we waited, and waited.
Soon we came to realize that our industry was shut down—the lights were off, and we were in the dark. To keep anxiety and depression at bay, I encouraged my photographers and stylists to do test shoots at home, lest they sit on the couch and mope. Some people got inspired and did some remarkable things that stretched their artistic muscles. Here are a few!

By David Shepardson
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States is preparing for long lines and delays on Monday when restrictions are lifted on non-U.S. citizen international travelers who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, a senior official told Reuters on Friday.
President Joe Biden's administration "expects pent-up demand for travel, which means longer than normal wait times for travelers," the official said. The government was boosting staffing to pre-pandemic levels but "long lines are expected in the initial days."
The United States on Monday is lifting travel restrictions for fully vaccinated air travelers from 33 countries and at its land borders with Mexico and Canada, ending the historic entry bans to address the spread of COVID-19 for much of the world's population.
The official said land border traffic has been about 70% of 2019 levels on the Southwest border and 30% of 2019 levels on the Northern border.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection "will continue to adjust its resources to meet traffic workload demands and ensure operational security, while balancing its trade facilitation and national security mission," the official said. Travelers should familiarize themselves with the new guidelines and have their documentation ready in advance, the official said.
Delta Air Lines Chief Executive Ed Bastian has also said travelers should be prepared for long lines initially from Monday.
"It's going to be a bit sloppy at first. I can assure you, there will be lines unfortunately ... but we'll get it sorted out," Bastian said.
Delta said in the six weeks since the U.S reopening was announced it has had a 450% increase in international point-of-sale bookings.
United Airlines is expecting about 50% more total international inbound passengers Monday compared to Nov. 1 when it had about 20,000.
The Biden administration has held multiple calls with U.S. airlines to prepare for the influx of additional travelers who will begin arriving at the country's airports.
The restrictions, put in place in early 2020 during the pandemic, barred most non-U.S. citizens who within the last 14 days had been in any of 33 countries - the 26 Schengen nations in Europe without border controls, China, India, South Africa, Iran, Brazil, Britain and Ireland.
Also on Monday, new contact tracing rules will take effect requiring airlines to collect information from international air passengers if needed "to follow up with travelers who have been exposed to COVID-19 variants or other pathogens."

Getting Compensation for Injuries in Watford City, McKenzie County, and across North Dakota
The world we live in is a chaotic, random place, and accidents happen all the time. Car accidents, slips and falls, among many other kinds of incidents, can happen whether by our own fault or the fault of others. In cases where the fault lies with someone other than ourselves, and the accident results in injuries that lead to mounting expenses that can destabilize the quality of your life, recovery becomes the top priority.
If you or a loved one has been on the receiving end of such an injury, consulting with a lawyer to determine your legal rights can be paramount to recovering the compensation you are entitled to under the law. At Sand Law, our experienced personal injury attorneys will represent you if you’ve been injured in an accident where the negligence of another party is at fault. Our team is committed to helping you recover the compensation you are entitled to as a result of your injuries.
Watford City Car Accident Attorneys
Car accidents are stressful experiences no matter how serious the crash is, but when there are serious injuries involved, your life could be changed forever. When you have suffered severe or permanent injury in a car accident, navigating North Dakota’s insurance laws and civil lawsuit requirements can seem difficult and trying.
An experienced accident lawyer should be prepared to go to bat for their clients, rising to meet these challenges on behalf of their clients. Sand Law focuses on their clients’ compensation while you focus on getting back to your full and healthy self.
At Sand Law, we have a successful record of getting severely injured clients compensation for their car crash damages. We will fight to get you the compensation you deserve.
Common Causes of Car Accidents
The fact of the matter is that everyone will likely be involved in a car accident at some point in their lifetime, whether it’s minor or severe. There are many different causes of car accidents, including the following:
- Distracted Driving: such as using a cell phone, eating, applying makeup, reading, engaging in conversation, looking for something, messing with the radio, or general daydreaming
- Driving Under the Influence: driving under the influence causes impaired vision, poor decision-making ability, and lack of awareness
- Speeding: at higher speeds, it’s harder to adapt to changes in traffic because you don’t have as much time to slow down
- Reckless Driving: such as speeding, cutting people off, repeat distracted driving, tailgating, etc.
- Not Adapting to Weather Conditions: if drivers don’t slow down and pay closer attention in the rain, snow, or wind, they could cause an accident
- Poor Vehicle Maintenance: such as putting off needed repairs or failing to frequently change oil or check for potential issues
- Running Red Lights or Stop Signs: if a driver runs a red light, they could easily t-bone a driver crossing the intersection legally and correctly
- Tailgating: when a driver follows too closely, they don’t give themselves enough time to adapt to changes, such as the leading driver slamming on their brakes
- Wrong-Way Driving: such as driving the wrong way down a one-way or driving on the wrong side of the road
- Inexperienced Drivers: drivers without experience may not check their blindspots as frequently or look out for vulnerable road users like cyclists or pedestrians
Watford City Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents, while not as common as car accidents, can leave riders with severe injuries such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, severe road rash, and amputations.
Other drivers on the road may not pay close enough attention, changing lanes or merging directly into a motorcyclist. Accidents also occur because of the passenger vehicle driver’s failure to check before opening their door on the side of a busy street or following too close to a motorcycle in traffic.
A personal injury attorney can help motorcycle accident victims get the compensation that they deserve for their damages. Motorcyclists often experience unfair treatment by insurance companies, as insurance adjusters tend to claim that motorcyclists are driven by adrenaline. This stereotype allows them to lowball settlement offers and sway the court in their favor by placing false blame on motorcyclists.
An experienced motorcycle accident attorney will be able to argue against these claims, ensuring that you get the most compensation possible.
Watford City Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are incredibly dangerous and very likely to cause severe injuries simply because of the sheer force that a large truck can inflict on a much smaller passenger vehicle. Injury claims for truck accidents can be more complex than other motor vehicle accident claims because of the number of parties that can potentially be at fault for the accident.
Truck accidents can be caused by driver negligence, such as distracted driving, driving under the influence, speeding, aggressive driving, and inexperience. However, they may also be caused by third parties, such as the trucking company, the truck loaders, the truck manufacturer, or the truck owners.
The trucking company may be liable for the accident if they’ve encouraged the driver to drive over the legally allowed limits, resulting in forged log books and fatigue for the driver. They could also be liable if the accident occurred because of improper training. Oftentimes the driver and the trucking company are both liable because the driver has broken a rule and the employer either encouraged it or ignored it.
The loaders of the truck may be liable if the vehicle’s improper loading caused the accident to occur. Accidents may also occur because of defective parts or malfunctions, often at the fault of the manufacturer.
No matter who’s at fault for your truck accident, we can help you. We have years of experience working with truck accident cases and handling multi-party and third-party liability. Our knowledge base will help to ensure that your case is a success.
Watford City Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle and pedestrian accidents are most common in urban areas where homes and businesses are within proper walking or biking distance. Bicycle and pedestrian accidents most often occur because of:
- Distracted Driving
- Improper Turning
- Running Red Lights or Stop Signs
- Driving Under the Influence
- Improper Lane Changes
- Not “Sharing the Road”
- Road Rage
While drivers learn about how to properly share the road with both cyclists and pedestrians, it’s often forgotten about later in life. Instead, drivers are annoyed by cyclists taking up an entire lane, forcing them to have to drive slower. This can result in accidents caused because of road rage or the driver’s anger and impatience.
Pedestrian accidents occur for similar reasons, but most commonly because of distracted driving, intersection issues, and driving under the influence. Pedestrian accidents can occur on crosswalks at lights, stop signs, or other parts of the road. They may also occur when a driver jumps the curb, for example, if they’re intoxicated or not paying attention to where they’re going.
Bicycle and pedestrian accidents can leave victims with severe injuries and permanent injuries or disability. It’s vital to hire an experienced pedestrian and bicycle accident attorney so they can help you get everything you need, from justice to compensation.
Premises Liability and Slip & Falls
Every business is responsible for maintaining the facilities on their property, from simple things such as cleaning the floors to keeping any outside walkways clean and clear of hazards. In some cases, however, business owners or property neglect their responsibilities and create hazardous situations that can lead to you falling and injuring yourself. These falls can injure you in a variety of ways, such as:
- Cuts and lacerations
- Broken bones
- Dislocations and sprains
- Brain injury, in a worst-case scenario
If your fall is the result of an individual working on the property, or the property owner themselves, they can be held liable to cover your medical expenses that result from a fall injury on their property.
Recreational Vehicle Accidents
North Dakota has a thriving recreational vehicle community that makes use of the many forests and mountains throughout the state at all times of the year. The number of ATVs and snowmobiles crossing through the backcountry, unfortunately, can result in collisions and injuries to their operators or bystanders. These injuries can be particularly devastating, leading to paralysis, loss of limbs, or even death.
Sometimes these accidents are the fault of no operator but a faulty machine. It may have been improperly assembled or filled with the wrong type of fuel. Other times, the operator of another vehicle may be at fault, including but not limited to:
- Camper trailers
- Motorcycles or dirt bikes
- Jet skis
Oil Rig and Construction Accidents
North Dakota has one of the most thriving statewide oil industries in America. Many residents are employed on oil rigs or, at the very least, know someone who is. Like any other workplace, oil rigs are the site of dozens of accidents per year. Many of these are preventable, and unsafe conditions or defective equipment may have been the cause of your injuries.
Defective wellheads and other machinery, improperly installed safety measures, gas leaks, or damage to the rig itself can be held as the fault of the company, and you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
Similarly, construction workers face hazardous conditions every day when they come to work. Injuries as a result of construction site accidents are a common occurrence, both in the state and across the country. If any of the following has happened to you or someone you love, we can help seek damages:
- Falls from construction scaffolding
- Fires on the site property
- Explosions from improper handling of combustible materials
- Using defective equipment on-site
- Chemical leaks
- Electrical accidents
- Falling debris
In most cases, a construction worker is covered by their employer’s workers’ compensation program. This means that their employer is exempt from negligence actions. However, if the negligence on a construction site can be traced back to the actions of a subcontractor, you are allowed to bring a case against that third party. You can seek any of the damages listed previously, such as medical bills and loss of earning potential.
Common Damages in Injury and Accident Cases
“Damages” is a legal term that refers to any loss a victim of a personal injury accident has incurred. These damages must be directly linked to the accident. You can recover almost any loss that you experience because of your injuries, up to a point.
Special damages also referred to as economic damages, cover any monetary losses that you may have experienced because of your injuries as a result of the accident. These damages are easy to calculate, as they reflect direct costs that you’ve incurred. These damages include:
- Medical bills
- Treatment and procedure expenses
- Cost of surgery
- Lost income
- Loss of future earnings
- Cost of future medical Care
- At-home care and therapy
- Property damage
- Other direct costs related to injury
General damages, or non-economic damages, are harder to calculate as they don’t have a monetary value associated with them. Instead, general damages are tied to how your injuries have affected your life. They’re calculated by taking a look at how much your quality of life has changed because of your injuries from the accident. The more your quality of life has worsened, the more compensation you’re likely to receive. General damages include:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental pain and suffering
- Permanent disability
- Lost earning ability
- Loss of companionship (in wrongful death cases)
Wrongful Death Damages
Wrongful death damages can be collected when a loved one passes away because of a personal injury accident. They may pass away at the scene of the accident or later on down the road because of complications with their injuries. Wrongful death damages can be claimed on behalf of both your loved one’s damages and your own.
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Cost of pre-death medical care
- Emotional distress of surviving family and loved ones
- Financial contribution loss
- Loss of services and support
- Loss of companionship and consortium
Punitive damages are rare but are occasionally awarded to the plaintiff as further punishment to the defendant for the act that they committed. These are often awarded in cases where gross negligence is present. They’re awarded as a way to prevent the same party (or a different party) from committing the same act again in the future.
Common Types of Watford City Accident Cases
Sand Law handles all types of personal injury cases, including but not limited to:
- CAR ACCIDENTS
- MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
- SEMI-TRUCK ACCIDENTS
- OIL FIELD INJURIES
- INJURIES CAUSED AT WORK
- DOG BITE AND ANIMAL ATTACKS INJURIES
- SLIP, TRIP, AND FALL INJURIES
- MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
- WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUITS
North Dakota Personal Injury Statute of Limitations
The statute of limitations in North Dakota is often much shorter than in other states for personal injury cases and wrongful death claims, so do not hesitate to contact a team of personal injury lawyers you can trust.
North Dakota limitations laws set a time limit of 6 years for personal injury cases and 2 years for wrongful death cases. These time limits usually begin counting down as of the date the accident or injury occurred or was noticed.

Ingredients to avoid in cosmetics
In today’s article we are going to tell you about the ingredients to avoid in your cosmetics, because… Have you counted the cosmetic products you use every day, from the moment you wake up until you leave the house?
I’m sure you’ve never stopped to think about it, I’m going to help you out, you get in the shower and wear a gel (1) for the body and a shampoo (2) and a softener (3) for the hair, after the shower you use a body cream (4), a facial cream (5), perhaps a facial tonic (6), and a serum (7), you also use toothpaste (8), and you put on deodorant (9), and before leaving home, cologne or perfume. (10).
We have counted 10 cosmetic products in a basic daily care routine, realize that we have left out the sunscreen cream (11), the base makeup (12), the blush (13), the eye shadow (14), mascara (15), compact powder (16), hand cream (17), a lipstick or lip balm, a lipstick or lip balm (18), etc.
In general, we use between 5 and 15 cosmetic products every day, if we count that each product carries an average of 15 ingredients, then we are using about 150 cosmetic ingredients daily . Yes, every day.
Now you understand why it is very important to be aware of ingredients that can be harmful to your health.
Toxic ingredients in cosmetics
But why are there toxic ingredients in my cosmetics? That’s the million-dollar question.
Most of the ingredients used in cosmetic products are derived from petroleum, or are produced by synthetic chemistry . In the previous studies carried out to check the safety of the ingredients for human use, in many cases undesirable effects are observed in high doses, so studies are carried out in different percentages, until the dose that is “safe” for use in humans is reached, until then everything is perfect.
But what the chemical and cosmetic industry have NOT taken into account, are 2 determining factors for me:
- The bioaccumulative effect of many of these chemicals in the body (permanent organic compounds).
- A person does not use only one cosmetic product per day, but, as we have just demonstrated,uses anaverage of 10 cosmetic products per day.
Now we have the perfect storm, let’s see it with a practical example.: it is safe to use a product with parabens at 0.4%, the maximum authorized dose, then we could only use one product a day with parabens, and it turns out that parabens are preservatives that carry virtually all cosmetic products (now less and less), so if we use a gel, a shampoo, a softener, a deodorant, a toothpaste and a face cream, each of which contains 0.4% parabens, then we only have to add them up to see that we are applying 2.4% parabens, i.e. 5 times more than what is allowed.
And we could do the same with the rest of the ingredients in the cosmetic products we use every day.
10 Cosmetic ingredients to avoid
Before we start with the ingredients to avoid, you should know that lngredients are listed (INCI) from highest to lowestaccording to its concentration in the formula, that is to say, if the first ingredient that appears is Aqua, we already know that the main ingredient in this product is water.
We are going to analyze 10 INGREDIENTS to avoid in CREAMS, bath GELS and shampoos, and toothpaste.
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES): Ionic surfactants. Skin irritants, destroys its lipid mantle, causing dermatitis and sensitization. Shampoos and Bath Gels.
- Polyethileneglycol (PEG) and Propyleneglycol (PPG): Emulsifiers and surfactants. Derived from ethylene chemistry, they may contain residues of 1,4-dioxane, a carcinogen. Contact dermatitis and urticaria at low concentrations. Shampoos and Bath Gels.
- Triclosan: Preservative and antibacterial. It induces bacterial resistance and may be an endocrine disruptor. Shampoos and Bath Gels.
- Diethanolamine (DEA): a surfactant which can react with other compounds to form carcinogenic nitrosamines. In addition, it is irritating. Shampoos and Bath Gels.
- Parabens (Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben): group of preservatives, they are endocrine disruptors. Creams and Serums. Shampoos and Bath Gels.
- Dimethicone and Cyclomethicone:: synthetic silicone that exerts an occlusive effect on the skin. False hydration effect on the skin Creams and Serums.
- Kerosene: mineral oil derived from the petrochemical industry. Occlusive and comedogenic effect. Associated with allergies and carcinogenic potential in aerosol products. It accumulates in lymph nodes and liver. In the INCI we can find it as: Mineral Oil, Paraffinum liquidum, Light mineral oil, Liquid paraffin, Liquid petrolatum, Paraffin liquid, Paraffinum subliquidum, Liquid petroleum jelly. Creams, Serums, Oils for children, Lip balms, etc.
- BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene): possible carcinogens. Creams and Makeup
- Triclosan: Preservative and antibacterial. It induces bacterial resistance and may be an endocrine disruptor. Deodorants, Toothpaste.
- Phthalates: they are hidden inside synthetic “parfum”. They are very dangerous due to their capacity to penetrate the organism, causing respiratory problems and allergies, as well as prostate and breast cancer.
In addition to the 10 ingredients we have just seen, we must highlight two groups of products, such as deodorants and sunscreens.
Toxic Ingredients in Deodorants
- Aluminum: neurotoxic. May appear as: Aluminum Chloride, Aluminum Chlorhydrate, Aluminum Fluorde…As chlorohydrate it is related to cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. How Aluminum starch octenylsuccinate can be contaminated with lead. We found it in Deodorants.
Toxic Ingredients in Sunscreens: Chemical Filters
- Oxybenzone: chemical sunscreen. Associated with allergic reactions, dermatitis and, paradoxically, phototoxicity. Hormone disruptor.
- Ethylhexyl triazone:chemical sunscreen banned by the FDA.
- Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate. It acts as an ultraviolet (UV) filter.
- Benzophenone-1 and Benzophenone-2. Other ultraviolet filters. They are also described as worrisome.
There are many more ingredients that we should avoid in our cosmetics, so we are going to leave you a direct link to the list published by the BioVidaSana Association, through its EcoAesthetic Network project, so that you can expand this information:
Do you want a cosmetic free of all these toxic ingredients? Then we recommend you
buy organic cosmetics

Is it actually June already? I’m shocked at how fast this year has flown by.
Positive stuff that’s going on in my life.
- This was my daughter’s last week of preschool. Next fall she’ll be going into TK (transitional kindergarten)
- I won ANOTHER BOOK GIVEAWAY from Faith Rivens’ blog. I think I should lay off entering so many raffles for a bit. Unless it’s something like a Kindle Fire or tablet or…a trip somewhere…a concert? (resists the urge to complain)
- So one of my favorite authors Hallee Bridgeman offered up ALL 8 of her Virtues of Valor books for FREE on Memorial Day. I should add, ONLY for Memorial Day. And guess what time I noticed the offer? 10:30pm. YEY FREE BOOKS!
- Aw I forgot to add a couple sorry!! My 10 month old went swimming in the pool for the FIRST TIME. Awwww
- I’m so proud of all my husband has accomplished and even though his job as a special ed teacher this year was hard, he did a great job, and the parents of the students loved him enough to give him gifts throughout the year, not just once, but multiple times, including a going away bag of goodies. That was fun listening to him tell me about the end of school party with his parents and students :

Convicted Felon, Girlfriend Arrested on Drug Charges
NEWS RELEASE 20-060 - APRIL 13, 2020
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office arrested a Sarasota County couple on felony drug charges after a traffic stop led deputies to cocaine, suspected fentanyl, and drug paraphernalia.
Tactical Unit deputies initially contacted 51-year-old Troy Ulrich late Saturday night during a traffic stop along S. Moon Drive in Venice. At the time, Ulrich was with his 26-year-old girlfriend Lindsy Redmon, who admitted to being in possession of a vape pen containing butane hash oil, also known as ‘BHO.’ While speaking with Ulrich, deputies located a cut piece of plastic straw, often used to ingest narcotics, with white residue inside. Upon further search, deputies also recovered just under one gram of cocaine, as well as suspected Fentanyl and suspected Xanax. The substances are currently undergoing testing in the agency’s drug lab.
Ulrich, DOB 05/05/1968, of 488 Ceil Drive, Nokomis, is charged with Possession of Cocaine, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Tampering with Evidence. He was released Saturday on $3,500 bond. Ulrich is a convicted felon with more than 30 prior local arrests including for Possession of Ammo by a Convicted Felon, Burglary, Battery, and several felony drug charges.
Redmon, DOB 09/23/1993, of 366 Valley Terrace, North Port, is charged with Possession of Cocaine, Possession of BHO, Tampering with Evidence, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. She was released Saturday on $5,000 bond.
The investigation is ongoing and additional charges are pending.

Elementary School Placement Notification and Waitlist
For newly enrolled students, families will be notified of their K-5 school placement in early August or a few days prior to starting school if enrolling midyear. Proof of required immunizations and TB test results must be complete before you are notified of school placement. If you have not completed the registration process or have not cleared immunizations or the TB risk assessment, your placement notice will be held.
If your child is not placed at your first choice school at the start of the school year, your student will automatically go onto a waitlist for your first choice school. The waitlists are maintained for the first 2 weeks of school. If your student does not move off the waitlist during the first 2 weeks, your student will complete the school year at the current school. Waitlists are not maintained after the first 2 weeks.
Currently enrolled students may request a K-5 transfer for the following school year in January. As a continuing student, he/she will have placement priority over any new student just moving into the district. In most cases, we can notify you in June if the transfer can take place. Watch your eNews for information regarding school transfer requests.

We’re building a utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in Regina. It will be the first of its kind in the province. The system will be capable of powering 20 megawatts (MW) of load for up to 1 hour. This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada.
Why Battery Energy Storage?
Battery storage technology supports our goal to reduce emissions and will be designed to withstand Saskatchewan’s toughest weather conditions. The technology will allow us to store energy from intermittent resources, like wind and solar, and deliver power to the power grid when needed.
Learn more about battery storage by watching the video below:
Our Progress So Far
In the fall of 2020, we engaged with neighbouring communities to discuss the proposed BESS plans. We selected On Power from Longueil, Quebec to supply the battery energy storage system and our contractors are installing the facility. Construction started in 2022 and should be complete in December 2023.
- Summer 2023 – Battery containers, transformers and other system components arrived on site and interconnection began. This will be followed by testing and commissioning of the system.
- Spring 2023 – Foundations, steel structures and trenches were built, and electrical work was completed in preparation for the battery containers and other system components.
- Fall 2022 – Site preparation was completed at the BESS yards. This included road and water drainage work, station fencing and installation of the grounding grid.
What to Expect
We're building the facility on land we already own at our Fleet Street switching station located in northeast Regina.
There are no anticipated traffic restrictions. There will be a few planned power outages at the Fleet Street substation to complete this work.
Respecting the Local Environment
As part of our planning process, we proactively worked with key stakeholders to understand any environmental risks or effects that needed further consideration and emergency services to support the facility.
What we do today impacts our future. We’re always working hard to reduce our impact and protect the environment.
As we plan projects, we use tools like databases, satellite imagery and field surveys to understand the environment we are working in.
As projects move forward, we’ll make sure environmental protection standards are in place to reduce our impact on features like:
- sensitive lands
- wildlife and their habitats
- heritage resources
We also work with the Ministry of Environment and other regulatory agencies to ensure we meet all environmental requirements.
This project will help us understand the potential for battery energy storage in Saskatchewan. It'll help us transition to a future of:
- reduced emissions
- more renewable generation
- distributed resources

SEC Power Rankings: Final ranking of every SEC team for 2022 season
The regular season has officially come to an end. Now all that’s left is conference championship week, the Army-Navy game, bowl season and the College Football Playoff.
But what a regular season it was! A total of 11 SEC squads reached 6 wins and qualified for postseason play. Mizzou clinched its bowl berth in its regular-season finale. Auburn and Vanderbilt failed in their last-ditch attempts for win No. 6.
So where does that leave us when it comes to the SEC power rankings? Here are our final 1-14 rankings of every SEC squad for the 2022 campaign:
14. Vanderbilt (5-7, 2-6)
Previous ranking: 12
This week: 56-0 L to No. 10 Tennessee
The Commodores’ season ended not with a bang, but with a whimper. Following 2-straight SEC wins over Kentucky and Florida, Vanderbilt got smoked at home by the Vols to end the regular season and kill the bowl hopes of Clark Lea’s squad. Yes, there were some good things done by the Commodores this year, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done to get this team regularly competing for bowl berths.
13. Auburn (5-7, 2-6)
Previous ranking: 13
This week: 49-27 L to No. 27 Alabama
This team played hard for Cadillac Williams. The Iron Bowl in Tuscaloosa was always going to be a difficult task for the Tigers with their limitations, but Robby Ashford gave his all. Jarquez Hunter ran hard and the defense made some plays early to make it close for at least a little while. Now the attention turns to the coaching carousel, where we’ll see if the next Auburn coach is Hugh Freeze or someone else.
12. Texas A&M (5-7, 2-6)
Previous ranking: 14
This week: 38-23 W over No. 5 LSU
Credit to Jimbo Fisher’s Aggies. Even though they knew they weren’t going to a bowl game this year, they came out and dominated a top-5 opponent in LSU. The Tigers had everything to play for, as they still had slim CFP hopes. The young guys on this team, led by QB Conner Weigman, have bright futures. RB Devon Achane showed why he’s a superstar. Now we’ll see what changes Fisher makes as he prepares for a very important 2023 season.
11. Florida (6-6, 3-5)
Previous ranking: 10
This week: 45-38 L to No. 16 Florida State
It wasn’t a good look for the Gators to limp to the finish line of the regular season like this, losing in back-to-back weeks to Vanderbilt and Florida State. Both of those games were on the road, but they were still missed opportunities for Billy Napier’s squad. Now a mediocre bowl game awaits. We’ll see how motivated the Gators are for that one.
10. Arkansas (6-6, 3-5)
Previous ranking: 7
This week: 29-27 L to Mizzou
Arkansas finished the regular season with a lackluster loss in the Battle Line Rivalry to a Mizzou squad that was fighting for its postseason life. Still, the Hogs had every opportunity to win the game and couldn’t do it. Brady Cook ran for 138 yards and a touchdown and threw for 242 yards and another score, torching the Arkansas defense early and often. That’ll need to be fixed before the bowl game.
9. Mizzou (6-6, 3-5)
Previous ranking: 11
This week: 29-27 W over Arkansas
Kudos to the Tigers for performing under pressure. They needed this win to get bowl-eligible and they got it. In the process, they beat Arkansas for the sixth time in 7 years. Now the Tigers have earned a couple of additional weeks of practices, which is absolutely critical for a young team. Brady Cook is playing the best football of his career the past 3 weeks. He’ll be a huge key to any success the Tigers have in their bowl game.
8. Kentucky (7-5, 3-5)
Previous ranking: 9
This week: 26-13 W over No. 25 Louisville
Things haven’t gone the Wildcats’ way lately, especially after back-to-back losses to Vanderbilt and Georgia. But even with Louisville entering the game with the better record and a ranking next to its name, the Cardinals looked like the inferior team on Saturday. Now that the Wildcats have a couple of weeks to get QB Will Levis and some other guys healthy, they should be a very dangerous bowl opponent.
7. South Carolina (8-4, 4-4)
Previous ranking: 8
This week: 31-30 W over No. 9 Clemson
What a couple of weeks for Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks. First, they dropped 63 points to kill Tennessee’s College Football Playoff hopes. Then, they continued to play grim reaper for orange teams, snapping Clemson’s 40-game home winning streak and also crushing the Tigers’ CFP dreams. These 2 weeks for the Gamecocks will be huge for the program moving forward. And now a more prestigious bowl game is likely in the works for South Carolina.
6. Ole Miss (8-4, 4-4)
Previous ranking: 5
This week: 24-22 L to Mississippi State
Clearly, despite any insistence to the contrary, the Auburn rumors swirling around Lane Kiffin hurt this team down the stretch. He’s staying, so perhaps the rumors will die down next year. But for now, the regular season ended with a disappointing Egg Bowl loss, the first Egg Bowl loss of the Kiffin era. The Rebels’ bowl standing also took a major hit. We’ll see if this team can turn things around in its final game of the year.
5. Mississippi State (8-4, 4-4)
Previous ranking: 6
This week: 24-22 W over No. 20 Ole Miss
Ole Miss had the top passer, rusher and receiver in Thursday’s Egg Bowl. Ole Miss won the turnover battle 3-1. Ole Miss had fewer penalties for fewer yards. It didn’t matter, as Mississippi State made one more key stop on a 2-point conversion to earn Mike Leach’s first Egg Bowl victory. This wasn’t a pretty game, but the Bulldogs showed a lot of grit in a tough environment. In the process, they likely earned themselves a much better bowl bid.
4. LSU (9-3, 6-2)
Previous ranking: 2
This week: 38-23 L to Texas A&M
This was not the finish to the regular season the Tigers wanted. Now their College Football Playoff hopes are dead even if they manage to upset No. 1 Georgia in the SEC title game. Yes, the Tigers are still ahead of schedule in their rebuild under first-year coach Brian Kelly, but the chances at a truly special season just evaporated with a disappointing loss in College Station.
3. Alabama (10-2, 6-2)
Previous ranking: 4
This week: 49-27 W over Auburn
This was a master class from Bryce Young. He is the best player in college football this year, even if he won’t win the Heisman Trophy. No, going 10-2 wasn’t what anyone wanted or anticipated in Tuscaloosa this year, but with 2 losses on the final play of games by a grand total of 4 points, this is still one of the best teams in the country. Now we’ll see if enough chaos happens to sneak the Tide into the College Football Playoff. I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were an Alabama fan, but crazier things have happened!
2. Tennessee (10-2, 6-2)
Previous ranking: 3
This week: 56-0 W over Vanderbilt
The Vols bounced back from a blowout loss at South Carolina by trouncing their in-state rivals to end the season. Joe Milton looked great replacing the injured Hendon Hooker. He has a cannon for an arm and has been in the system for 2 years now. The Vols should be fine with him under center in the bowl game. No, they didn’t make a Playoff push after losing at South Carolina, but this is still a wonderful season for the Vols, who are now back among the contenders in the college football world.
1. Georgia (12-0, 8-0)
Previous ranking: 1
This week: 37-14 W over Georgia Tech
Yeah, it took the reigning champs a while to get rolling on Saturday afternoon, but it didn’t matter. This team has so much talent it eventually pulled away from its overmatched rivals to finish off a second-straight perfect regular season. Now LSU awaits in Atlanta. Can the Bulldogs enter the College Football Playoff perfect, unlike last year? Stay tuned!

Hey, some of you might know me as miazmatic on Discord, I would change my name here but apparently I can't so :shrug:
Anyway, I'm making a hero unit in SC2 out of Morik (http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Morik), an Infested Marine from SC1.
I would like a Portrait done in the style of SC1/Remastered's Infested Marine, if anybody is up to the task.
You get a bonus cookie if you also do an Infested Marine in SC1 style Marine armor, but it's not 'required' (well nothing is required, it's a request, not a commission, duh).
If anybody does take this request, thanks.

Interview with Dr. Sharonne Hayes – Part 2
Mayo Clinic SCAD Research Program Team Lead
In Part 1 of our interview with Dr. Hayes, an internationally recognized SCAD expert, our focus
was on Mayo Clinic’s two SCAD related registries – their main registry, which currently has 1500
participants and their SCAD Biobank used for genetic research.
In Part 2, Dr. Hayes shares examples of how Mayo Clinic collaborates and shares their registry
data. This data has been deidentified to protect participants’ privacy. These examples are in
addition to Mayo Clinic’s own SCAD research they do internally.
Question 3: What are some examples of Mayo Clinic Collaborative Efforts with
Other Research Institutions?
An important example includes the 2019 international collaboration (Adlam D, Olson T, et al, below) in which Mayo Clinic’s SCAD Research team were able to provide the vast majority of samples for analysis, as well as additional deep phenotyping information about Mayo participants, as a result of our robust information abstraction (also funded by SRI!):
- Association of the PHACTR1/EDN1 Genetic Locus With Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection. Adlam D, Olson TM, Combaret N, Kovacic JC, Iismaa SE, Al-Hussaini A, O’Byrne MM, Bouajila S, Georges A, Mishra K, Braund PS, d’Escamard V, Huang S, Margaritis M, Nelson CP, de Andrade M, Kadian-Dodov D, Welch CA, Mazurkiewicz S, Jeunemaitre X; DISCO Consortium, Wong CMY, Giannoulatou E, Sweeting M, Muller D, Wood A, McGrath-Cadell L, Fatkin D, Dunwoodie SL, Harvey R, Holloway C, Empana JP, Jouven X; CARDIoGRAMPlusC4D Study Group, Olin JW, Gulati R, Tweet MS, Hayes SN, Samani NJ, Graham RM, Motreff P, Bouatia-Naji N.J Am Coll Cardiol. 2019 Jan 8;73(1):58-66. doi: 10.1016/j.jacc.2018.09.085.PMID: 30621952

adidas x District
Create a commercial announcing the collaboration between District and adidas featuring the 5 adidas ambassadors - Iman Fandi, Joakim Gomez, Christabel Chua (@bellywellyjelly), Audrey Goh (@Sparrowonweed) and Calvin Kan.
In a groundbreaking partnership between a global street-style sports brand and tech-driven racing concept, we've created an electrifying video that merges these identities. Through glitch effects and layered clips, we've crafted a dynamic collage set to electronic trap music, bridging both brands seamlessly.
Adidas ambassadors embark on individual journeys, conquering District challenges that unite them in the end—symbolising both solo races and team spirit. Shot amidst Singapore's architectural wonders, the video incorporates these structures as intricate patterns, amplifying the modern, high-tech vibe that resonates with adidas' style. The navy sportswear, including the new ultra boost line, showcases performance and innovation.
This collaboration epitomises the fusion of street fashion and tech innovation, celebrating athletic prowess, challenge, and unity in a visually captivating manner.
Amidst the emerging partnership of these two brands, urgency drove us to swiftly craft a video announcement for the impending collaboration, timed closely with the approaching District event. Releasing the commercial and campaign at least 2 months prior was essential to build anticipation.
Despite the challenge of an overseas shoot and limited time, we navigated through Google Maps, Instagram and digital resources to scout locations, creating storyboards and a shot list within 2 weeks. Collaborating closely with our clients in Singapore, we refined our choices and sought their input. Armed with our schedules and detailed shot list, we journeyed to Singapore, where the successful shoot surpassed expectations.

How does terminology affect how we perceive ourselves as professionals? This project focuses on terminology surrounding labour; treating language as infrastructure which effects pay, legislation and self-perception.
Unpacking how vocational terminology is formed with regards to: 1.ownership (ex. The proletariat), 2.skills (ex. Unskilled), 3.profession (ex. Engineer), and conditions of labour (ex. The precariat), it aims to reclaim terminological systems to promote self-identification. Responding to the shifting nature of the labour market, it proposes the linguistic separation of identity from profession, by action-based descriptions: ex. I engineer, rather than I am an engineer.
The presented diagram re-appropriates the schematic of the Viable System Model (VSM), an organisational structure able to adapt to changing contexts often used to describe governmental and/or commercial entities. Its application to an individuals’ vocational activity allows for self-definition.

Argument preview: Court to consider money damages for FMLA self-care violations
on Jan 6, 2012 at 12:00 pm
On Wednesday, January 11, the Court will hear oral argument in Coleman v. Maryland Court of Appeals, a case posing the question whether state employers can be sued for damages when they violate the self-care provision of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
The FMLA requires most employers to provide up to twelve weeks of unpaid time off to their employees for five categories of leave: (1) the birth of a child; (2) the adoption of a child; (3) the need to care for a sick family member; (4) a personal serious medical condition; and, in certain circumstances, (5) leave relating to a family member’s military service. This case involves the fourth category – the plaintiff, Daniel Coleman, sued his employer, the Maryland Court of Appeals, for allegedly firing him for taking personal medical leave.
The FMLA allows employees who are denied FMLA leave to sue their employer for money damages, which is what Mr. Coleman seeks in this case. However, over the past two decades, the Supreme Court has limited Congress’s authority to subject states to private damages actions, on the premise that they generally enjoy sovereign immunity to such suits. But the Court has held that Congress can abrogate that immunity when necessary to enforce the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The question in this case is whether Congress was properly exercising its power to enforce those equal protection rights when it authorized suits against state employers for violations of the FMLA’s self-care provision.
A major focus of the case is the Court’s 2003 decision in Nevada v. Hibbs. In that case, by a vote of six to three, the Court (in an opinion by the late Chief Justice Rehnquist) held that Congress validly subjected states to suits for damages under the family medical leave provision of the FMLA, which requires employers to provide leave to allow the worker to care for a sick child or other family member. The Court held that although the Equal Protection Clause does not itself require state employers to provide such leave, Congress could require it as a way of getting at persistent stereotypes regarding women’s roles as family caregivers. Congress could conclude, the Court explained, that these stereotypes can lead many state employers to deny men leave to care for a sick child (on the view that this was the mother’s responsibility) or could lead employers to be wary of hiring women (who, the employer might stereotypically worry, would take more time off to care for sick family members than would a man).
Mr. Coleman, represented by Michael Forman of Penn State’s Dickinson School of Law’s Civil Rights Appellate Clinic, argues that the same reasoning applies in this case. The self-care provision is part of the same general scheme to address the risk that employers would otherwise be hesitant to hire women for fear that they will take disproportionate medical leave, particularly for pregnancy-related reasons. As in Hibbs, Coleman argues, Congress was acting against a backdrop of a well-established history of employment discrimination against women. And as in Hibbs, Congress could reasonably conclude that the best way to protect women from discrimination was to provide all employees with an across-the-board right to leave that might otherwise be subject to discriminatory dispensation.
The state of Maryland, represented by Deputy Attorney General John B. Howard, argues that this case is fundamentally different from Hibbs. While the family leave provision may have been directed at remedying irrational stereotypes about women’s roles in the family, the self-care provision serves a wholly different function. The state argues that Congress was concerned in this provision with helping families achieve a more reasonable work-life balance and preventing discrimination against people with serious health problems. Those purposes are too unrelated to the goals of the Equal Protection Clause to justify abrogation of states’ sovereign immunity. Moreover, even if the self-care provision was intended to help address sex discrimination, it is insufficiently tailored to that task. The state argues that Congress has already required employers to treat pregnancy-related medical needs on par with other medical leave through the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. And, if anything, going further and prescribing how much self-care medical leave employers must provide could increase incentives to discriminate against women in hiring, as an employer may hope that a man is less likely than a woman to take up all the required leave.
The Court’s decision in the case will be interesting, not simply because it addresses an important question for state employees and employers alike. The Hibbs majority was an unusual coalition, including not only the usual members of the more liberal wing of the Court, but also Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justice O’Connor, who previously had provided the fifth vote in a series of cases striking down provisions subjecting states to private suits. But the old Chief has been replaced by Chief Justice Roberts, and Justice O’Connor has been replaced by Justice Alito. At the same time, Justice Scalia has since declared that the entire analytical framework applied in Hibbs (as well as the more numerous cases striking down abrogation provisions) is hopelessly misguided and has vowed not to apply it any more. As a result, while it seems likely that the Court will dispose of the case on the terms addressed by the parties – deciding whether this case is sufficiently like, or unlike, Hibbs – the argument and eventual decision may provide some insight into the future of the Court’s sovereign immunity jurisprudence as well.

Amazing Connections • Incredible Journeys • Love and Friendship
We have now been traveling with groups all over the world for over 10 years. We’ve learned a thing or two. We spend time researching every destination we consider before beginning the process of considering where to stay and with whom to dive. We look for destinations that we would love to dive and we know our customers would love to dive. We research on-line scuba discussion sites, attend industry shows and talking to fellow divers who have been to these destinations. We also make sure we know the best time of year to dive that location. Only after all of this do we decide on a destination and begin looking at dive centers, resorts and live-a-boards.
What does this mean for you: You will never experience the “it looked so different in the brochure!”. We know what places really look like and what the diving really is like before we arrive. You are part of a group that has already established a strong relationship with the dive resort based on our face to face visits with them and frequent phone conversations. You are part of a group that loves diving and welcomes everyone to join us. We always hear from the operators where we travel that our group added to their fun and that their staff want us to come back. We (and you) are treated wonderfully by the resort because of this relationship and the power of traveling with our group.
Come talk to us about dive travel. It is always a wonderful topic for discussion, and you might even teach us a thing or two.

Your SCUBA training should be empowering, educational and perhaps awkward and difficult at times. It should also be thrilling, fun, enjoyable, serene, and inspiring. You are learning to breathe underwater for the first time. Or you are learning to take beautiful underwater photos. Or maybe you’re ready to start exploring the caves of Mexico and Florida. Better yet, dive into the spectacular wrecks of the Great Lakes. The best way to enjoy these and countless other underwater experiences is being better prepared. Our mission is to prepare you!
Our courses focus on creating a relationship with our students by spending time with them. Classroom time gives us a chance to share aspects and experiences of SCUBA outside of course study materials. We get to understand your interests in diving as well as apprehensions. It is an opportunity to answer your questions as well as emphasize key concepts and clarify the fuzzy ones. Often, we laugh. Sometimes a beer or two is drunk and we watch shark movies getting excited about the water training.
Because of our small classes and private lessons, you get a lot of one-on-one time with your instructor. You have time and space to practice more and repeat skills until you are comfortable. Classes are different each time as we cater them to our students learning needs. We are regularly adding to and transforming our training as we learn more and see how you respond.
Your SCUBA training is important. Take your time and find the right shop and instructor. While you are doing that, give us a call and see what all the hype is about 😉
My philosophy on the gear I stock and sell is: if I am not willing to use it, I am not willing to sell it.
Like anything else today, there are many options for dive gear. There are different types, styles and brands of the same item. There are different looks, feels and colors. Some are more powerful than others. Some breathe better. Some look better. Some are easier to understand and operate. A lot you just do not need!
I recall the first time someone referred to me as a Christmas Tree Diver. I was offended. What were they thinking. Every piece of entanglement hazard reef damaging dangly stuff I had I needed. I never used them, but doggone it I needed them! As a result I sold them to other divers, my customers.
Over the years of diving, teaching, learning and traveling I learned a valuable lesson: less is less. The more streamlined, the more simple your getup is, the better the diving experience. The other valuable lesson I learned is not to be cheap. It doesn't mean the most expensive item is the best one, but quality does come with a price tag. These two epiphanies shaped the way I sell gear today and I'm continually evolving.
CLOSEOUT CLEARANCE SALE
With Scuba Sensations, we want you to experience more. Experience more in your training, on your dive trips, and with your gear. We want to open a world of possibilities as you fall in love with SCUBA. We strive to exceed your expectations through custom training in small class settings to build confidence and passion for the sport. We train people to be divers we want to keep diving with, and we cultivate that community through fun events and travel. Come visit us and find out what all the sensation is about. You will leave feeling excited, confident, and well-informed.
I started teaching scuba in 2008 as a way for me to work with and teach parents and their kids how to dive. After running a few programs with Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and a couple local schools, I decided I wanted more. So I opened Scuba Sensation in January of 2011. Since opening, my staff and I have worked with hundreds of new and eager divers of all ages and walks of life. Every day I teach I am reminded of how much I love SCUBA and sharing it with others. Today we continue to train new divers, as well as provide continuing education, technical diving, and fun diving opportunities for all our customers. Whether you want to work on your buoyancy, take a dive on the wrecks of Lake Michigan or travel to the Philippines and photograph the awesome Mantis Shrimp, we have something SCUBA for you.

Citysearch and Overture today announced an agreement in which Citysearch will integrate Overture’s contextually targeted keyword advertising into various local search channels. Overture, owned by Yahoo, will target regional advertising via its keyword targeting and also in Citysearch search listings under the heading of “Sponsored Results.”
The competition to put their regional and keyword/context advertising on display has really heated up recently as Yahoo’s Overture and Google are both trying to corner their respected markets in search engine advertising.
Google stepped up their efforts yesterday by also integrating banner ads in the AdWords advertising network. In what used to only be a market for contextually targeted keyword text ads, Google is now giving its AdWords advertisers the option of running banners to test results. Google’s AdWords ads are shown on partnered web sites such as Lycos and About.com, along with the Google AdSense network of middle tier website publishers.
In other search engine distribution contract news, Yahoo Search is now powering the search results on CNN web properties. Previously powered by Google, Yahoo Search was chosen to be the search engine of choice over the CNN web network- which also has a search/contextual advertising contract running with Yahoo’s Overture.

Seattle Sounders manager SigiSchmid has stated that Jordan Morris could have been helpful to the United States soccer team in the Copa America.
Indeed with Bobby Wood suspended, the US manager brought in Chris Wondolowski as the replacement and SigiSchmid believes that Jordan Morris would have been more helpful in the team.
There were many United States fans who questioned the selection of Chris Wondolowski ahead of Jordan Morris. They believe that the Seattle Sounders is a player that is currently in form and would have proved to be more valuable at the Copa America Centenario.
SigiSchmid stated that Jordan Morris would have definitely helped the US team at the Copa when Bobby Wood was suspended. For him, it would have been a like-for-like replacement, and it would not have affected the US game. He said that Morris has the necessary skills, determination, and aggressiveness to help any team win a game.
He believes that the suspension of Bobby Wood has affected the US team at the Copa America and if the US coach had chosen to select Jordan Morris it would have been more beneficial for the team as he plays a similar game to Bobby Wood.
SigiSchmid believes that Jordan Morris is still behind Bobby Wood in the match, but he is still developing. He said that he still lack in his decision making, but he believes that he is progressing well. For the Seattle Sounders manager, Jordan Morris will be a top player in around two years’ time if he continues his progression.
He said that the player is getting better with each game, and he is also training hard. He stated that that they are still working on some minor details with the player and believes that he will improve his scoring ability gradually.

OBGYN located in San Antonio, TX
According to researchers, more than 70% of American women will develop uterine fibroids at one point in their lives. In some cases, fibroids lead to disruptive symptoms that require medical attention, like the care of Christopher Serrano, MD, of Serrano OBGyn in San Antonio, Texas. If you experience pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding, schedule a diagnostic exam to find answers. Booking a visit is as simple as a phone call or a visit to the online scheduling page.
Fibroids Q & A
What are uterine fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are growths that develop in the wall of your uterus. They’re benign, which means they are not cancerous. Fibroids are also called leiomyomas or myomas.
Fibroids are quite common, and most women will develop at least one during their lifetime. You can have one fibroid or many, and they can range in size from so tiny you can’t even detect them with the human eye to so large they extend your abdomen.
Not all fibroids cause symptoms, so many women will not know fibroids are present. When they do cause symptoms, those issues can disrupt your normal daily routines.
How do I know if I have uterine fibroids?
Knowing what to look for can make it easier for you to decide when to schedule a visit with Dr. Serrano. It’s important to listen to the messages your body sends, and make your health a priority even as you lead your busy life.
Some symptoms of uterine fibroids include:
- Heavy bleeding or prolonged periods
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Frequent need to urinate
- Trouble fully emptying your bladder
- Leg or back pain
If you notice these changes, come in for a diagnostic exam.
How are uterine fibroids treated?
Dr. Serrano creates a personalized treatment plan based on your needs and goals. In some cases, the best course of action is a period of watchful waiting to see if fibroids will shrink on their own. This is especially true for women nearing menopause, as declining hormone levels will shrink fibroids.
There are also medications that can help. Some work to regulate your menstrual cycle and address heavy bleeding. There are drugs that alter your hormonal balance, and others that can relieve pain.
Another approach involves injecting a substance directly into the arteries that feed a fibroid to block blood supply and shrink the growth. A treatment called endometrial ablation removes a portion of your uterine lining, but should only be considered by women who do not plan on future pregnancy.
Surgery offers another treatment path. Some minimally invasive procedures remove targeted fibroids laparoscopically. In rare cases, a hysterectomy is the only way to fully eliminate uterine fibroid symptoms.
If you’re concerned about pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or other symptoms of uterine fibroids, schedule an appointment with Dr. Serrano online or over the phone to begin moving toward answers.

The Feasibility of Protecting Residential Structures from Wildfires using a Fixed Exterior Fire Fighting System
The program will be delivered by faculty and students from the Fire Protection Engineering Department at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Milosh Puchovsky, PE, FSFPE, Professor of Practice & Associate Department Head
Albert Simeoni, PhD, Professor & Department Head
Emily Han, WPI Civil Engineering and Fire Protection Engineering Student
Dylan Parrow, WPI Civil Engineering and Fire Protection Engineering Student
Ariana Rozen, WPI Chemical Engineering and Fire Protection Engineering Student
Wildfires are a very complex phenomena having devastating impacts on our way of life. Each year, millions of acres and hundreds of structures are destroyed by wildfires across the planet. The Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) grows significantly each year as humans build in areas of moderate to high fire risk. Concurrently, climate change is creating worse and more frequent wildfire conditions.
Research has identified certain key factors that cause ignition of structures and the spread of fire between them. Once fire moves from wildlands into developed areas, flames are fueled by engulfed homes and structures, creating major conflagrations and devastating entire communities.
An additional means to prevent or mitigate conflagrations may be through the development of external fixed fire-fighting systems attached to the structure. While the concept is discussed to some degree, widespread use of any system has not occurred due to the many technical issues involved such as fire threat articulation and quantification, appropriate agent selection and application rates, agent delivery methods, spray coverage, system activation, long term performance, etc. This program presents a WPI research project addressing the complexity and feasibility of such active exterior fire-fighting systems and puts forth a prototype concept.

Hire Top Choreographer in Patna for Your Wedding
We Indians love to dance and party. We prefer celebrating even the smallest of the occasion with dance and in some cases with drinks. So it comes as no surprise that at the time of the wedding; function like Ladies Sangeet is organized which is a night dedicated to dancing and partying. Both the sides of the family enter into a friendly competition to check which family is the best in showcasing their dancing skills to the couple and wedding guests.
Some families have young adults who can teach other members to dance. On the other hand, some families prefer hiring wedding choreographers in Patna. These choreographers train the couple and their family members to give dance performances in the Sangeet night. In a quirky manner, it is said that both families need to present the best foot forward as it's about their reputation. Hence the need for professional dance choreographer arises which is not an easy task. With so many dance trainers available in the market, it isn't simple to pick the best professional in a first glance. Therefore to help you out, we have compiled a list of 6 points to keep in mind while searching and interviewing the experts.
Six Important Points to Help You Hire The Best Dance Troupe in Patna
Schedule Multiple Interviews: Never hire a dance choreographer in the first meeting. And this is a blunder which majority of the couples commit due to the shortage of time in wedding planning. Therefore you should search and book the choreographer at least a month before the function. And schedule multiple interviews with multiple dance troupes, and do not book until you've met all the shortlisted candidates. The meetings will give you an insight into the relevant hiring charges, and you will be able to negotiate the best deal.
Ask For Video Recordings Of Dance Performances: Do you hire a food caterer for the wedding without tasting the sample of his or her food? No. It goes the same way when it comes to hiring a female or male choreographer in Patna. You should ask the artist or the troupe to share the video recording of their previous clients who've been trained by him or the team. It will give you an idea about the dancer's style and capability of teaching the best and the lowliest dancer.
Whether The Choreographer Works With A Team Or Alone?: Like we said above, the dance trainer industry is on a boom. All the young and freshly graduated college students fulfill their dreams of becoming an epic dancer through wedding choreography. While hiring a dancer, ask him or her whether they work with a troupe or alone? Ideally, you should opt for a dance troupe as it has multiple benefits. They provide multiple choreographers which induce variety in dance performances, and also the time required for preparation also reduces.
How Many Years Of Experience The Troupe Or The Choreographer Has?: The wedding choreography business is filled to the brim with both professional and amateur dancers. Now many couples hire amateur dancers to save money, but the trick fires back when the mismanagement and saturation in dance choreography start seeping. The best dance troupe in Patna charge higher rates because of their experience, and quality services. You should hire experts who work with a team and have a minimum of 5 years of experience in teaching dancing.
The Time Their Team Will Devote On Dance Sessions: Preparation for wedding dance performances takes time and efforts. Hence for a better result and polished performances, the dance artists should initiate the practice from 10-12 days before the function.
The Charges: Money is an omnipresent condition in every aspect of wedding planning. You should fix the budget amount to be spent on hiring a choreographer and search for professionals who fall within the decided amount. The control will help in keeping a check on overspending from the allocated wedding budget.
Different Types of Dance Performances You Can Plan and Learn From Wedding Choreographers in Patna
If you're confused about the number of dance performances to have at the function, then we've got a solution for you. Below is a list of commonly included performances at Sangeet function in India.
The Bride And Groom Dance - It is a no brainer because the function will be incomplete without the performance by the bride and groom. It can be divided into three segments - a solo performance by each, followed by their couple dance.
The Parent's Dance - For the couple's parents; it is the happiest moment of their lives seeing their children getting married. Hence they too deserve a super-special dance performance to express their love and emotions for the joyous occasion.
The Best Friends Dance -A mix dance performance by the boys and girls of both sides is the perfect way to bring the house down. Such dances should be energetic and force the wedding guests to join the dance floor.
Girls Solo Dance - A performance dedicated by the bride's friends to her is something which every guest expects. As per female choreographer in Patna, tracks with latka & jhatka music beats should be selected.
Boys Solo Dance - This one is for all yaar and bhai of the couple. Funky Bollywood songs can be picked up to entertain the wedding guests.
Kids Dance - The little ones are the most excited (even more than the bride and groom) for the wedding in their family. Hence a cute performance by them on trending tracks is a must.

Looking for the freshest produce and a great way to support local family-owned business ventures? I hope so because they can truly be the best place to find fresh produce, seasonal produce and a one-stop-shop experience with a freshness guarantee!
Why You Should Shop Your Local Farmer’s Market
A farmer’s market is a great way to find fresh food for your family. Here are some of our top reasons for seeking out a farmers market:
1. The food is mouth watering fresh. The fruit and vegetables found at farmers’ markets are sold at their absolute PEAK. Most farmers harvest specifically for each farmers’ market event and the stem to table time is less than 24 hours. Strawberries picked the morning they were sold? Yes please!
2. Keep your money local. The money you spend goes directly to the farm you purchased from instead of a corporation with headquarters in a different city or state. Keeping your dollars local benefits your local economy. The farm down the road is employing people who live in your community with a means of supporting themselves.
3. You will know the location of where your food came from. In fact, if you wanted to visit the farm where it came from, you could likely arrange a visit with the farmer. Many farms not only welcome guests but also provide educational tours for schools and community groups.
4. Face time with the person who grew your food. You can look the growers of your food in the eye. If you’ve got a specific question about how it was grown, you can ask them. You can also ask them advice for cooking, recipe ideas, or ask about what they’ll be harvesting next. Farmers LOVE to talk shop. Be prepared to learn more than you ever wanted to know about growing conditions and soil!
5. The farmers’ market has grown beyond just fruits and vegetables. Often you can get everything you need to make a meal at a farmers’ market, including dessert. Artisan bread, cookies, cake, and pie are popping up more and more at the farmers’ market. Some even sell honey, homemade soap, coffee, or wine. You can also shop farmer’s markets to support local cultures and communities. For example, the southwest farmer’s market chain in Texas supports local farmer’s and has become the #1 African Grocery Store, serving the largest Nigerian population in North America.
6. Access to humane and happy meat products. The meat, dairy, and eggs that are sold at your local farmers’ market have been raised by small time farmers instead of huge corporate farmers (aka BigAg). They take pride in caring for their animals and treating them well. Wondering what exactly the cows ate before they were hamburger? Ask your farmer!
7. The farmers’ market often have flowers for sale too. In addition to edible goodies, a lot of farmers’ markets also have vendors selling flowers. These gorgeous flowers are available for purchase at fraction of the price as what they’d be in retail outlets like the florist or grocery store’s floral department. On top of the amazing price, you can be sure that they were freshly picked!
8. Shopping at a farmers’ market lowers your carbon footprint. The food sold at a farmers’ market hasn’t traveled far to get there because it was grown right in your back yard. The shorter the distance traveled, the less of a carbon footprint there is! Certain products, like local honey, offer then added health benefits because local honey contains local pollen that can help strengthen a person’s immune system and mitigate pollen allergies.
9. Community shines at the farmers’ market. Farmers’ markets are a community building event. You’ll likely run into your neighbors and friends while you’re at the market. In addition, many farmers’ markets offer entertainment such as live music, poetry readings, crafts for children, or baking contests.
10. Buy exactly what you need. One of the great things about a farmers’ market is that the produce isn’t prepackaged. Only need a few potatoes for a recipe? No need to purchase a full five pound bag!
11. Save money by cutting out the middle man. When you shop at a farmers’ market, there isn’t a third party middle man standing between you and the person who grew your food. This is reflected in the farmer’s price structure and your fresh fruits and vegetables will be cheaper than if you purchased the same things at your local grocery store.
How to find a local farmer’s market in your area? Search your local area for farmer’s markets near you. Most cities have weekend pop up farmer’s markets or seasonal market locations.
Do you have a southwest farmers market in your area? Like a farmer’s market, Southwest Farmer’s markets are a privately-owned African grocery store that feature a selection of standard groceries and African food If you are in Texas, you are in luck! They have several Southwest Farmers Market locations in Texas right now, including: Houston, Dallas, Garland, Austin, San Antonio and Arlington locations. You might also find their pop up markets which will include fresh produce, seafood and meats, Southwest Farmers Market was founded in 2004 in Houston, Texas, and has become a one-stop-shop experience.

Richly seductive with its mélange of black fruits, spice, tobacco leaf, and a captivating floral hint on the nose. Those same opulent berry compote notes are apparent in the mouth: raspberry, blue, and black berries with some violets and nutty spice reminiscent of toasted pecans and hazelnuts. Taut, focused, and reflective of an excellent vintage, the wine has yet to unfurl and show its true colours. It's harmonious, graceful, and richly textured, with a lovely oak platform, but it'll benefit from more aging to reveal its full complexity. Long, impactful, and memorable flavour.
Complex bouquet of black berry fruits, rich fruitcake, tobacco, herbs and even a subtle note of violets. The palate is superbly refined, elegant and poised with the rounded rich black cherry-, plum- and cassis notes countered by spice, cedar and deeper leather and tobacco leaf/cigar box flavours. Powerful but restrained. The oak is effortlessly integrated and supports the fruit harmoniously. Complex, long and richly rewarding. An aristocrat of a wine.
Enveloping rich fruitcake aromatics with a hint of charcuterie alongside spice. The flavours are bold. Inky, deep, dark and dense blue and black fruit with a dry, spicy oak grip that the grape variety is noted for. Powerful yet restrained, the oak is unmistakeably prominent but balanced by the concentration of the ripe dark berry flavours. Structured with dry tannin grip and a long, rich tail. Not for the fainthearted.
Bright floral notes of cherry blossom and violet mingle with dark fruit, pencil shavings, cedar and spice aromatics. A plush entry to the palate with succulent plum and black cherry, dusted with spice. Refined, poised and structured, the oak frames the fruit well and also plays with the rich cocoa and cedar nuances. There’s a brooding power which remains in check. Complex and silky with a lingering finish.
Leafy hedgerow fruit, graphite, spice and cedar with a tobacco leaf nuance on the nose. Complex and inviting. More ripe berry fruit is found in the mouth: cherry, youngberry, blackberry and plums. Pretty in its succulence and pliability. Vibrant spice adds to the complexity. The palate is softly textured and approachable, supple but also muscular with its squeeze of dry tannin from time in barrel. Lovely long, lingering finish which offers up graphite and dried herbs. Layered, complex and rich but also elegant and refined.
Bold purple plums, black cherries and perfume with subtle edge of cut flower stems on the nose. The palate is taut, needing a bit of time and air to reveal its strata of spicy purple and black berry fruits. There’s an oak edge which lends both spice and structure to the wine while acidity adds freshness and piquancy. Savoury, tangy and tasty with a long tail, it will reward patience.
Peppery spice, blue and black fruit with additional allure of a brush of dried herb and fynbos on the nose. Corduroy softness and mouthfeel is apparent on entry. That texture grows, as does the fruit intensity, into a fantail of flavour, ripe plum, blueberry and a hint of licorice and herbs. Buttressing that ripeness is the structure lent by well integrated oak and a sinewy muscularity and leashed power. Good frame and harmony – nothing is dominant. Long, rich tail with spice and fynbos on the end.
Instant seduction of violet, blackberry, cherry, cocoa, spice and fruitcake perfume. Black Forest gateau in one whiff. Those same ripe and rich flavours are found in the mouth which is soft, rounded, plush and embracing – but with a dry tail. Supple, textured and elegant it offers up concentration, structure as well as a velvety appeal. Layered, nuanced, cohesive and rewarding.
Complex aromas of waxy lemon with a creamy nutty edge and subtle hint of dusty gravel track. The palate is bright, taut, lively, fresh and crisp. There is the anticipated lemon wax breadth which fleshes out the mid-palate but the zippy and vital acidity which retains focus and keeps everything poised. The finish is long with a gentle creaminess. Lovely concentration, focus and cohesion. A wine which will drink well now but also reward cellaring.
Orange blossom and stone fruit are discernible on the nose, with a subtle underpinning of caramel and vanilla. The palate is fresh and vibrant with lively nectarine and citrus flavours and a trace of zesty rind. Balanced and restrained with signature elegance and refinement, the gentle creamy vanilla oak nuance lends depth, structure and charm. Overall, a rounded, textured mouthful with a long, rewarding tail that ends with a light marmalade farewell.
Appealing melon, nectarine and elderflower aromatics. Crisp, fresh and perky entry to the palate. With that lovely bright and energetic introduction come elements of stonefruit and a creamy cashew overlay. A fantail of flavours – apricot, citrus, green fig and melon – develops in tandem with a textured mouthfeel. Providing support is a rich but understated oak and lees platform which adds harmony
Aromas of ripe peach, apricot, nectarine and rich sun-dried pineapple, lightly drizzled with honey – yet restrained. The palate is something of a surprise in its bright, vibrant, tangy succulence – backed by abundant stone fruit flavour as promised on the nose. It is refined with a gentle, delicate creamy brush of oak. Impressive depth and complexity with lovely interplay of fruit, oak and fresh, lively acidity which adds so much lightness and enjoyment. Rounded and long, but remains enticing and light to the end.
The nose is bold and uncompromising in its intensity with nettles and grapefruit zest most prominent. The palate boasts a thrilling tension and vivacity. Taut, tangy lemon-lime and grapefruit twist. It’s light, crisp, and soft in a powerful yet lean way. Vivid acidity but beautifully balanced by the fruit flavours and lees. Lovely and crisp in its freshness with ample lip-smacking verve and zip. A deceptively light but powerful wine with a lingering tail. It will age well too.
Aromatics of stone fruit with a nutty marzipan flavour and hints of oak are apparent too. The palate reflects the time the components of this blend spent in wood with a broad, creamy spiciness that complements the peach, quince, and gooseberry fruit flavours. Clean, structured, and powerful, the wine is kept in check with an acidic freshness. Lovely texture with good palate weight—the wine promises and delivers an elegant, creamy, long, and enjoyable mouthful.
Quince, poached peach and a whiff of vanilla on the nose. The palate is fresh, offering up the peach and quince fruitiness but with a lovely lime tang and vibrance. All of that is offset against a gentle background of creamy oak – which is subtly but beautifully integrated with charming vanilla and butterscotch notes. Textured and long, nothing Is overplayed with impressive harmony, palate weight and genuine refinement. Rewarding aftertaste.
Appealing raspberry and plump cherry fruit aromas. The same succulence and rounded juicy dark fruit continues on the palate – with standout plum, cherry and raspberry flavours. A light baking spice nuance adds to the complexity and gentle Christmas cake appeal, along with supportive, seamless oak balance. Smooth textured and long with an enticing, dry yet fruited finish.
Inky intrigue to a somewhat subdued nose of shy black plum and spice – with a hint of fynbos in the backdrop. Plush entry to the mouth, rounded and appealing with ample juicy black plum notes. Those rich flavours are tempered by a pleasant spicy cedar grip. Structured, textured, but still taut and leashed, the wine is like the 2019, still somewhat tightly furled. It finishes with good length and an intriguing saline element.
This wine presents with bold, almost audacious spiciness coupled with blueberry and plum compote aromatics. The palate is similarly expressive and appealing with its vibrant spiciness. The same ripe, rich and plush plum and blueberry fruit flavours are also immediately apparent on the palate. This wine’s texture is pliable, supple and approachable but with good underpinning of well-knit oak that frames the
Sneeuwkrans Pinot noir presents with a perfumed floral nose, cherry blossom, ripe plum and raspberry aromatics. In typical Pinot Noir character, it displays approachability with complexity and subtle nuance, while remaining succulent and generous. There is a guile and mystery to this wine. Broad and laidback on entry, it offers bright red fruits but then also subtler, earthy, deep forest floor intensity. Silky, refined and pliable, with a powerful core and backbone from integrated oak. Poised and long rewarding.

A mix of ripe, dark blue and black berries and plum fruit, brushed with spice and herbs. Succulent entry to the mouth with immediate plump, plush blueberry and plum. That rounded berry vibrance makes way for a squeeze of chalky tannin and dry oak grip which balances the fruit well. Lovely inky licorice adds intrigue. Suave, genteel and elegant with a glossy, smoothly varnished long farewell.
Vigorous fine bead with green apple, lemon, yeast and fresh sea breeze aromas. The palate echoes those aromatic notes with its crisp lemon freshness and green apple vibrance that is brushed with grapefruit and citrus zest. A gentle, creamier biscuit and toast note then develops. Elegant and well structured with good fruit, acidity and lees harmony. The finish is long, dry and crisply detailed.
Fine, vigorous bubbles deliver sourdough, citrus and bright and fresh lemon aromatics. The palate is both zesty, lively and tangy with initial lemon and grapefruit vibrancy morphing into a broad, creamy mouthful. Lovely interplay of zingy green apple vitality and rich, toasty flavours. The mouth filling leesy notes harmonise beautifully with the acidity. Rounded and rewarding.
Coral pink hue with a vigorous stream of fine bubbles. Bold strawberry and red berry fruit on the nose. There’s more of this in the mouth – with cherry, strawberry and bold red fruit on entry. The fresh, zesty lemon and citrus zip of acidity adds succulence to the mouthful. A broader creaminess then develops with signature toast and biscuit notes. Balanced and harmonious, the wine is well structured, long and complex but refreshing and vibrant throughout.
A string of fine pearl bubbles rises steadily and vigorously in the demure blush and partridge eye-coloured wine. Subtle strawberry, raspberry and cherry aromas are brushed with a light floral as well as a leesy, toasty note. Entry on the palate is crisp, fresh, and vibrantly zesty, with ruby grapefruit and lemon as well as understated red fruit notes. The lovely zip and intensity of the acidity are tempered by the broader, creamy lees and biscuit notes, along with a marmalade tang on the tail. A chalky grip adds body to the layered palate.

Rewardingly long aftertaste.

Packed with appeal by good structure and body.
Warm appeal of ripe blackberry, cherry and fruitcake aromas. Those same flavours step confidently onto the palate; black cherry, fruitcake and blackberry – with a light brush of herbs and trace of bonfire smoke too. Gentle and easy textured, its light to medium body makes for effortless enjoyment. Supple and succulent to the end.
An abundance of red and purple fruit on the nose with hints of spice and lavender. The pallet presents with fynbos character and bright berry flavours, rounded by a touch of oak. Elegant yet firm tannins with good medium body. Wine finishes with subtle flinty and smokey characteristics.
Spicy, nutty and ripe with sweet prune, blueberry and raising florality on the nose. All the above characteristics are echoed on the palate. Lovely cinnamon and nutmeg with a touch of fiery ginger spice too. Integrated, long and statuesque, the oak supports the rich porty fruit flavour. Structured, layered and complex. Pecan nuts and fruit pudding flavours linger long but finish dry.
Mesmerising golden incandescent colour. The nose offers trademark floral Muscat perfume with an intriguing liquorice edge. Then there’s honeycomb, sun ripe dried mango and sultana notes too. There’s more to the palate than simple rich, honeyed sweetness – which it has in abundance. Subtle macadamia and roasted pecan nuttiness with a cookie dough element can be discerned, along with the ripe sultana fruitiness. Fortification is well handled and although sweet, it’s also fresh, beautifully balanced and long.
A beautiful light brown colour. Ripe apricot, peach and fudge, caramel aromas which mingle with hints of leather and creamy toffee. So appealing Silky smooth and gently textured, the same flavours come through on the palate: ripe peach and apricot uit notes with cookie dough, fudge and caramel nuances. There’s a depth of flavour and complexity to this spirit but a lightness too. Not at all harsh and truly rewarding with its long, rich finish.
Rich caramel-gold colour. Mellow whiffs of baked apple with tarte tatin spice highlights and just a delicate hint of flowers and macadamia nuts which entice on the nose. The palate is suitably spirituous with apple strudel-, marzipan-, caramel- and baked biscuit-flavours. Pleasant balance and gentle rich praline notes which linger for ages.
Pure, unadulterated heady litchi perfume! No Ersatz essence notes whatsoever. Light potpourri whiff adds dimension and depth to the nose. The same holds true for the flavour. Undoubtedly distilled litchi spirit, it’s tropically fruity with an almost Turkish Delight exoticism. It’s smooth and gentle without any harsh spirit bite or aggression. The spirit lingers long in the mouth, finishing dry yet leaving a beautiful distinct flavour memory.

Megerditchian said that because of the publicity of this case, the prosecution is not going to let the 16 indicted on secondary charges settle without serving some sort of time. In her opinion, Loughlin and Giannulli’s defense attorneys are going be using any type of charitable or humanitarian work to help them get less time.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if she got between 5-10 years of federal prison because of the amount of negative publicity in this case,” she added. “But it’s impossible to know the exact number at this point in time. If they cooperate fully, it could go lower. It will depend on how deep Loughlin and Giannulli were involved in the scheme and what time of insider information they reveal.”
For fellow actress Felicity Huffman’s part, Megerditchian says that the “Desperate Housewives” star’s admissions of guilt helped her because prosecutors favor those who cooperate.
Her minimum sentence would be “about 4 months,” but that could be pleaded down to probation or house arrest, Megerditchian said of the actress, who announced her decision to plead guilty on Monday.

Race celebrates most successful event to date with more than 1,300 participants and $30,000 raised for the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization
When Washington State resident Diana Stewart crossed the finish line during the 10th Annual Miles for Meso 5K in Alton, Illinois, it was quite the accomplishment. Not only did it mean she finished the challenging course through the hills of Downtown Alton, it meant she had continued to keep a promise made to her late husband several years ago.
“My husband Bob was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2008 and passed away after fighting it for nine months. I promised him when he died that I would fight this disease with everything I’ve got and help find a cure,” Stewart said. “Participating in Miles for Meso helps me keep that promise by bringing awareness to others about this devastating disease and how it affects families everywhere.”
Simmons Hanly Conroy, a national leader in the legal representation of mesothelioma patients and their families, created Miles for Meso in 2009 to do just that – bring awareness about the disease and raise money for research. After the race’s first year, the firm’s chairman, John Simmons, realized another important purpose to the race.
“When we hosted the first Miles for Meso, we had no idea how much it would grow and the impact it would have on the people who participated,” Simmons said. “It raised money and awareness, but in the process it also created the opportunity for meso warriors to celebrate their survival and a place for friends and family left behind to honor their loved ones.”
For Mike Mattmuller, a Maryland resident diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2011, the community created by Miles for Meso is invaluable.
“Being diagnosed with mesothelioma is a very lonely experience because it’s so rare and so scary,” he said. “The amount of support and appreciation I feel at Miles for Meso is just overwhelming. I look forward to these events to see the other patients and people in the meso community. They’re an extended family that I’ve grown to cherish so much, and because of them, I don’t feel so alone.”
Mattmuller and other meso survivors were far from alone at this year’s race. Held at Simmons Hanly Conroy’s national headquarters in Alton on Sept. 22, the 10th annual race welcomed more than 1,300 participants representing 20 states. Together, they helped raise $30,000 for the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization, a national non-profit dedicated to securing a U.S. ban on asbestos and supporting families impacted by asbestos.
“I am astounded at the passionate outpouring of community and advocacy seen during this year’s Alton Miles for Meso 5k,” said ADAO President Linda Reinstein. “Events like Miles for Meso provide healing and allow us to join together and increase awareness that asbestos remains legal and lethal in the USA today. ADAO sincerely thanks Simmons Hanly Conroy for their continued leadership in supporting asbestos victims’ civil rights and public health.”
A total of 14 fundraising teams raised close to $4,300 for this year’s donation to ADAO. The top three fundraising teams were recognized during an awards ceremony during the race. The “Georgie Porgie’s Meso Patrol” team took home the top fundraising award with more than $1,150 raised. The team raised money in memory of George Dreith, of Godfrey, Illinois, who passed away from mesothelioma. Second-place honors went to “The Friends and Family of Virgil E. Williams” team, who raised $890 in memory of Virgil E. Williams, while third place went to the “Jogging for Joe” team, who raised approximately $826 in memory of Joe Amento.
The top five overall men and women finishers received more than $2,000 in cash prizes. St. Louis resident Brice Pavey placed first overall in the men’s division with a time of 15:26. Julia Kohnen, also of St. Louis, placed first overall in the women’s division with a time of 17:09. The top-three finishers in 5-year age groups also took home custom Miles for Meso medals. New to this year’s race, every registered participant who crossed the finish line took home a commemorative finisher medal.
The Alton event included a “Kids Zone” area for children with more than 10 activities and games, a petting zoo and pony rides, Miles for Meso store, a vendor fair, pet adoption, photo booths, free food and drinks from multiple food vendors, and entertainment from The Jesse White Tumblers from Chicago.
Since 2009, the Alton Miles for Meso has inspired those affected by mesothelioma across the country to start their own Miles for Meso races. Each sponsored by Simmons Hanly Conroy, races have taken place in Illinois, Florida, Washington, Missouri, Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, New York, Texas and Pennsylvania. Together, they have raised more than $650,000 nationwide for mesothelioma research. The money is raised through a combination of registration fees, personal donations, team fundraising, and corporate donations.
This year’s Alton sponsors included Diamond Sponsors: Stratos Legal, Impact Strategies, First Mid Illinois Bank, BDO (Stone Carlie) and Sokolove Law; Platinum Sponsors: Jenner & Block, The Bridge Church, Lockton Companies, Acropolis Technology Group and PohlmanUSA Court Reporting; Gold Sponsors: Classic Graphics, Huford Architects, Building Stars (Dwyer Cleaning), GRP Mechanical Contractors, Xtreme Green/Watchdog, Covene, FindLaw and Morgan Stanley; and Silver Sponsors: Labor Tribune, Office Essentials, Holland Construction, Pass Security, Fast Eddies, J.F. Electric and Otis Elevator.
About the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization
The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) is the largest independent asbestos victims’ organization in the United States. It was founded in 2004 to give asbestos victims and concerned citizens a united voice, to raise public awareness about the dangers of asbestos exposure and to work toward a global asbestos ban. ADAO is dedicated to prevent%MCEPASTEBIN%ing asbestos-caused diseases through national and international education, advocacy, and community initiatives.

The ultrasonic fat burning machine can help people get rid of their love handles and other types of fat without putting in any extra effort. The ultrasonic fat burning machine has been found to be extremely effective in breaking down fat cells, which are then eliminated from the body.
The cavitation fat machine is the device used in ultrasonic treatment. The word "cavitation" refers to a series of low-frequency ultrasound waves that are utilized to break up fat cells, causing them to release their contents and shrink.
The best part is that the fat burner ultrasonic cavitation machine is non-invasive and painless. It can be used on any area of the body where there is excess fat, including love handles, thighs, arms and buttocks. The ultrasonic waves cause vibration within the fat cells, which eventually leads to their rupture. Once the cell walls break down, the fatty acids and Glycerol spill out and are transported to the liver for elimination.
One study found that after using a cavitation fat machine for just 20 minutes a day for two weeks, participants lost an average of 2.5 inches around their waist. If you are also finding ways to reduce those pesky love handles of your clients, you need to order a cavitation massage machine from an experienced beauty machine manufacturer right away.
What is ultrasonic fat burning machine and how does it work?
Cavitation fat machine is used to treat cellulite and subcutaneous fat deposits on the hips, thighs of patients who want to remove excess body fat quickly without surgery or other invasive methods. The treatment is mainly designed to cause water loss by breaking down fat cells in adipose tissue using ultrasound waves without causing much damage to the surrounding tissue. However, the fat burner ultrasonic cavitation machine is not recommended for people who want to lose a lot of weight or for pregnant women.
Ultrasound waves are the key component in this cavitation body slimming machine. The waves impact fat cells, breaking them into liquid form that our body's waste system can excrete. A study showed that those who had cavitation massage machine sessions lost more weight than those who followed a diet alone after five weeks!
The first step of ultrasonic cavitation is to bombard some ultrasound waves on your skin. The ultrasonic fat burning machine also requires gel to be applied before the treatment starts. After both of these things are taken care of, the procedure will start. It might feel like something vibrating inside you or like someone is punching you very gently with their fists. These sound waves are meant to break down any areas that have too much fat in them, whether it's stubborn love handles or under-the-chin fat.
After you're done with the ultrasound waves, you can move on to the next step, the massage. This is where you'll use a cavitation massage machine to help "massage" the area that was just treated with ultrasound waves. It's not as painful as it sounds, in fact, it might feel quite soothing! This massage is meant to help push the dissolved fat cells out of your body and speed up the process of getting them out of your system.
Fat-burning cavitation machine procedures are usually performed by medical professionals such as plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and estheticians in medical spas, clinics, or doctor's offices.
How to prepare for ultrasonic cavitation?
In order to prepare for an ultrasonic slimming beautiful machine procedure, there are a few things that you should keep in mind. First, it's important that you eat healthily and avoid eating foods high in saturated fats. Second, make sure that you drink plenty of fluids, especially water, to help flush the dissolved fat cells out of your system and avoid alcohol. Finally, be patient! You likely won't see results overnight.
Ultrasonic cavitation is a gradual process that takes time and dedication. But if you're willing to put in the work, a fat burner ultrasonic cavitation machine can be an incredibly effective way to slim down those stubborn problem areas.
What will happen after the ultrasonic cavitation procedure?
After a session of cavitation fat machine, you may notice swelling or bruising. Most people won’t see instant results after one session and it can take up to three sessions for visible changes. Just as you need to prepare before the procedure, there are precise post-session rules that follow in order to ensure maximum results.
For the first three days after your treatment, you need to drink two to three liters of water. This will make your fat cells go away and will make your body healthy again. You should also eat a low-carb, low-fat, and low-sugar diet for at least 24 hours following the session. To promote fat cell removal, massage the targeted regions. After the cavitation fat machine treatment, do 30 minutes of high-intensity cardio for at least 1 day each week to help remove excess fat from around your stomach.
Saying goodbye to love handles is possible with an ultrasonic fat-burning machine. However, you will have to make a few sacrifices!
Most people tolerate fat burning cavitation machine procedures well, but there are some potential side effects. Bruising and swelling are the most common, but temporary adverse effects can also include:
●Tightness in skin
●Vomiting (very rare)
It is important to remember that each person's body is different and will respond differently to ultrasonic fat burning machine procedures. If you experience any of these side effects, be sure to consult your physician.
To minimize the risk of these side effects, it is important to consult with a qualified medical professional before undergoing a cavitation fat machine procedure. They will be able to advise you on the best course of action for your individual situation and help you to make an informed decision about whether or not this treatment is right for you.
Other benefits of ultrasonic fat-burning machine
The fat burner ultrasonic cavitation machine has three modes. The first one is for getting rid of fat cells. They break the fat into fatty acids that are then taken out of your body. This can make you more slender and toned. The second mode is removing cellulite and saggy skin, so your skin will be tighter in some places.
The third mode is for activating muscles with electronic muscle stimulation (EMS), so they can be stronger, so you can have more endurance, or run faster or longer. You don't need to worry about pain because the cavitation body slimming machine doesn't hurt when you use it! You should start off slowly, and then increase the intensity as you go on.
This slimming beautiful machine is definitely worth buying if you're looking to get rid of fat or cellulite, or just want to activate your muscles! It's easy to use, painless and doesn't take up a lot of time. You'll see results in no time!

1) YouTube: Mastering the Initial Push
The YouTube algorithm favors videos that gain substantial views and engagement during this critical period.
On YouTube, the key is to make a strong initial impact within the first few hours of your video going live.
When the algorithm used to be a little slower to change and more predictable, you could comfortably predict a nice ramp-up with your prioritized content, but that is less so the case today. The YouTube algorithm is so flamboyant now that on any given day, your content could perform amazingly– or it could just plateau for seemingly no apparent reason.
To boost your chances of success on YouTube, consider implementing the following strategies:
- Leverage Email Blasts and Push Notifications: Send out targeted emails and notifications to your audience, urging them to watch and engage with your video as soon as it is published.
- Harness the Power of the First 24 Hours: Focus on gaining traction and views within the first 24 hours. YouTube tends to reward videos that perform well during this timeframe.
- Optimize Titles for Maximum Impact: If you notice your video isn’t ranking well, take the time to modify the title. A catchy and relevant title can significantly improve your video’s visibility and growth potential.
Additionally, maintaining focus on a specific niche or topic area over a more extended period can help the algorithm better understand your content and recommend it to interested viewers.
2) LinkedIn: Engaging Comments for Amplified Reach
LinkedIn offers a unique opportunity to expand your professional network and establish expertise and thought leadership. To make the most of this platform, prioritize engaging comments on your posts.
LinkedIn’s algorithm recognizes the value of meaningful interactions. They recognize that when someone leaves a comment on your post, they are interested in engaging with that content. This engagement signals that this is a quality post, which LinkedIn’s algorithm rewards with increased visibility.
You might also try using engagement pods, which are a group of LinkedIn creators working together by commenting on each other’s posts. The key here is that they are legitimate posters leaving legitimate comments. This helps to boost the reach of your LinkedIn post.
Here’s how you can leverage this strategy:
- Encourage Meaningful Interactions: Write posts that elicit valuable comments from your audience. Engaging comments not only enhance the visibility of your posts but also foster discussions and showcase your expertise.
- Consider Diverse Perspectives: Embrace comments that provide valuable insights or additional tips related to your post’s content. These contributions enrich the conversation and attract more attention from LinkedIn users.
- Start a Legit Engagement Pod: Here’s a detailed guide on how to set up your engagement pod on LinkedIn.
3) TikTok: Emphasizing Comments
Although TikTok’s fast-paced and entertaining nature might seem overwhelming, comments play a vital role in driving engagement and visibility.
When viewers leave comments and actively engage with your content, it sends a signal to the algorithm that your video is captivating and worth recommending to a broader audience. It can also help you get featured on the For You page, a personalized video feed that TikTok creates for each user based on the content they’re most likely to interact with:
Here’s how you can encourage viewers to leave comments and participate in discussions:
- Spark Curiosity and Encourage Responses: Craft your TikTok content in a way that piques viewers’ curiosity or invites them to share their opinions. Pose questions, ask for recommendations, or encourage viewers to share their personal experiences related to the video.
- Respond Promptly and Authentically: When viewers take the time to leave comments on your TikTok videos, make an effort to respond promptly and genuinely. Responding to comments demonstrates that you value your audience and encourages further engagement.
- Encourage Interaction through Call-to-Actions (CTA): Integrate clear CTAs in your TikTok videos that prompt viewers to leave comments or participate in specific activities related to your content.
- Engage with Trending Topics and Challenges: Keep an eye on the trending topics and challenges on TikTok and align your content with them when relevant.
4) Instagram: Deploying Live Content
Instagram is constantly evolving, and leveraging its live content feature can be highly advantageous. Live videos, when executed effectively, can captivate your audience and attract new followers.
Here’s how you can make the most of Instagram’s live content feature:
- Provide Value: Before going live, identify the key message or value you want to convey to your audience. Whether it’s sharing industry insights, hosting interviews, or providing educational content, ensure that your live video offers something valuable that viewers can’t easily find elsewhere.
- Interact with Your Audience: Live videos provide a unique opportunity to engage directly with your audience in real-time. Encourage viewers to leave comments, ask questions or participate in polls. Respond to their comments and make them feel heard, fostering a sense of community and connection.
- Be Authentic: Authenticity is the key to creating a genuine connection with your audience. Don’t be afraid to show your personality, share behind-the-scenes moments or showcase your expertise. Authenticity builds trust and loyalty among your followers.
Staying up-to-date with emerging features and trends can also give you a competitive edge. Here are a few approaches to consider:
- Explore New Features: Instagram constantly introduces new features and tools to enhance user experience. Stay informed and experiment with these features to keep your content fresh and engaging. Whether it’s utilizing interactive stickers, leveraging Instagram Live Rooms, or incorporating reels, adaptability is key to capturing your audience’s attention.
- Follow Trending Topics: Stay in tune with trending topics, challenges or hashtags relevant to your niche. By incorporating these trends into your live videos, you can tap into existing conversations and increase the discoverability of your content.
- Collaborate with Influencers: Partnering with influencers or other industry experts for joint live sessions can attract a wider audience and expose your brand to new followers. Collaborative live videos allow you to tap into the influencer’s existing audience while providing unique insights or perspectives.

5) Facebook: The Potency of Longer Videos
While short-form videos have their place, longer videos tend to generate higher engagement on Facebook, particularly for business profiles.
To optimize your Facebook strategy, keep the following in mind:
- Room for Depth and Detail: Longer videos allow you to delve deeper into a topic, providing your audience with more comprehensive information and insights. Whether it’s a tutorial, an interview or a behind-the-scenes look at your business, longer videos give you the space to showcase your expertise and captivate your audience with a more immersive experience.
- Build Trust and Authority: With longer videos, you have the opportunity to build trust and establish yourself as an authority in your industry. In-depth discussions and thought-provoking insights can foster meaningful connections and loyalty.
- Storytelling and Emotional Appeal: Longer videos provide a platform for storytelling, allowing you to evoke emotions and create a deeper connection with your audience. Plus, people remember stories 22X more than facts and figures. Through narratives, personal anecdotes or testimonials, you can engage viewers on a more emotional level and leave a lasting impact.
6) Twitter: Creating Impactful Threads
Twitter offers a treasure trove of opportunities for amplifying your message. By crafting engaging threads on a consistent and frequent schedule, you can boost your visibility and connect with a larger audience.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Post Frequently: Twitter caps out post lengths to 280 characters. The short-form nature of Twitter means that content is circulated at an incredibly fast pace. This means that the frequency of which you post can be higher since content circulation on Twitter is so rapid. Of all major social media platforms, Twitter is likely the most appropriate for multiple posts each day.
- Seed Initial Engagement: Take advantage of engagement podcasts or leverage your existing audience, including your email list, to jumpstart engagement on your tweets (especially Twitter threads). This initial boost can significantly increase your reach and impressions.
Remember, a strong CTA urging users to interact with your content can help propel your growth across all social media platforms.

First, a definition.
“So my definition would be, in order for a certain idea to be creative, it must possess two major components. One, it has to be new, novel, something we haven’t seen before,” says Rom Schrift, a marketing professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
“But it also has to be useful. So, if it is just something new, but doesn’t offer any benefit, it is not necessarily a creative idea.”
This semester, nearly 300 students are learning how to crank out more creative ideas in Schrift’s class titled “Creativity: Idea Generation & the Systematic Approach for Creativity.” It’s part of a growing field that treats problem solving as an academic discipline, complete with competing theories for what approaches produce the best results.
A page from Dr. Seuss
During lectures, Schrift bounces around the classroom, white sleeves rolled, preaching the gospel of creative thought. But if you think his mantra is as simple as ‘think outside the box,’ it turns out it is the exact opposite.
“The problem with this phrase is that, in most situations, we don’t know what the box is,” says Schrift. “What is the box? If we cannot define the box, how can we think outside of the box?”
According to Schrift, the core of learning to be creative is recognizing what the box actually is. What are the components and structures that make up the problem you are trying to solve, and what tools or attributes are at your disposal? Knowing what these constraints are, he argues, makes it easier to produce creative solutions.
“Actually inside the box, there are a lot of opportunities, and most of the creative ideas, if anything, they come from inside the box.”
Schrift uses an example from none other than Dr. Seuss to make his point.
“Dr. Seuss and a friend had a discussion about the shortcomings of using books to teach first graders how to read. And so his friend gave him a bet,” he says.
The challenge was simple: there were 350 unique words that first graders were expected to understand, and Seuss was to write a book using just 225 of them, and nothing more. Those, says Schrift, are his constraints.
“He used these constraints, right? He could not use any words, but there was a specific bank of words, and he came up with The Cat in a Hat.
“His publishers saw this, they said, interesting…let’s have another bet, another challenge, and he challenged Dr. Seuss to write another book using only 50 words, and he wrote Green Eggs and Ham.”
“You could argue, sure, Dr. Seuss is an extremely creative individual, and I agree, but there is something about imposing these constraints that maybe helped him be more creative. And this is kind of the approach we are teaching.”
Creativity on demand
Schrift’s class isn’t exactly Wharton’s version of “Rocks for Jocks.” During the semester, students learn different methods for approaching creativity with head scratching titles such as “The Attribute Dependency Template” and the “Task Unification and Closure Principle.” There’s a hefty reading list, as well as a major group project where students take on a real-world problem in partnership with a major company.
“I think I’m definitely more creative than I was before because I just can just think about it in a different way,” says Nicole Granet, a senior majoring in management. “I don’t feel like I need to just close my eyes, listen to some relaxing music, maybe something will come to me. I feel like I’m much more in control of being able to produce these ideas that can really make a big change…sort of be ‘creative on demand.'”
Granet is starting a job in consulting after she graduates, where, ideally, she’ll help companies be more productive, and creativity ‘on demand’ will definitely be an asset.
Gerard Puccio hears from employers all the time about how much they value that type of skillset. Puccio directs Buffalo State’s International Center for Studies in Creativity, which, in the late 1960s, became the first school in the country to offer classes on the subject.
He says the discipline has evolved over the years as the challenges we face have become more complex.
“Life has become much more complicated, and as a result, we need to enhance the level of complexity of our own thinking, to be able to deal better with complex problems…problems that don’t have easy answers,” says Puccio.
He adds that many of these creative skills are actually innate, and perhaps just need a little coaxing.
“It is a human characteristic. It is the reason why we’ve survived through the millennia. It is because…our competitive advantage is creative thinking. We are not the fastest, we can’t fly, we don’t naturally camouflage ourselves, we can only exist in certain climates. So, the human species has evolved to be creative, and in fact, that’s what has helped us to sustain ourselves over time,” says Puccio.
Design it out
Some of us, of course, are still going to be more creative than others.
Example #1: David Ludwig.
He’s a celebrated classical composer and a member of the composition faculty at Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music, one of the nation’s top schools. He’s the type of guy who gets inspiration for melodies walking around the grocery store. But even with all of his innate ability, Ludwig is completely on board with the idea that creativity can be thought of as a skill to hone, and that understanding constraints and attributes is crucial to creating something new and useful.
“We start out very often with a commission,” he says, “and what I do is, I start making my own constraints. What is the piece about? What motivates it? Why is it meaningful? Then we go from there. We start with the biggest questions first, and go to the smallest.”
Ludwig says he often gets his students thinking about how best to approach creation of a new work by using a simple exercise.
“If I gave you an assignment and said draw a house…on a piece of paper. The first thing you would do, the first thing anyone has ever done when I’ve asked them to do that, is they start with the box and the roof. The frame. Always the frame. No one starts with the window and the TV in the living room in the background. No one starts with the little chimney with the smoke coming out of it.
“That is [an] unhindered, creative act. An unconscious creative act and we naturally put limitations on ourselves.”
Or, put another way, “We can’t order everything on the menu when we really create something. We have to really design it out.”
But what about just letting your mind wonder? Everyone can point to those random Eureka! moments, either in their work or personal life, when greatness strikes without any effort.
Professor Schrift says he does occasionally get pushback from people who argue the best ideas come when they aren’t pressing for one.
“If for some people, jumping on the trampoline and listening to strange music works? Keep doing that,” he says with a laugh. “But having said that, we offer another tool. We can’t always take a passive approach and wait for us to get this ‘aha moment’ in the shower.”

“The secret killer of innovation is shame” – Brené Brown
Given my “slight” infatuation with Brené Brown, it’s comical for me to think that I almost didn’t watch the first video of hers that I encountered. She was speaking to teachers. I’m not a teacher and therefore was wary of how it would be relevant to me. But having heard her name floating around I pressed play, only to realize that it was a 20-minute video!! But as they say – in for a penny, in for a pound.
And that’s how I found myself hearing her say these words:
“No vulnerability, no creativity, no innovation”.
Have 20 minutes ever gone by so fast?
In case you’re unfamiliar, Brené Brown, is a Social Researcher in the area of vulnerability and shame. She defines vulnerability as “uncertainty, risk and emotional exposure”. Her research, even without strictly focusing on innovation, sheds so much light on what prevents innovation from thriving in companies.
Think of the innovation processes in your company, and how many stages a person has to go through in which they render themselves vulnerable:
- Taking the time to work on an unknown outcome innovation instead of the pile of work on their desk
- Taking a leap of faith in getting an idea off the ground
- Presenting an idea to management
- Answering nay-sayers who doubt you and/or your work
- Using budget and resources without a guarantee of ROI
- Enlisting the help of others
- Accountability (for the project outcomes, for managing the project properly)
The list goes on.
But in order for innovation to happen we have to go through these stages, and therefore need to stick our neck out there.
But really, no one likes to be vulnerable.
Now why is that? Brené’s answer – shame. “Every time someone holds back on a new idea, fails to give their manager much needed feedback, and is afraid to speak up in front of a client you can be sure shame played a part”. We have a deep fear of being wrong, belittled or feeling less than other people. And this is what stops people from taking risks.
But if innovation is what we’re after, then we got to get people on track: vulnerability -creativity – innovation.
So how can we encourage people to take that first step – vulnerability?
- The Institutional Yes (Amazon.com) – Usually when someone has a new idea, they must prove to the manager why they think the idea is a good one. The Institutional Yes shifts the responsibility to the manager, by having the default answer of the manager be YES. If the manager wants to say no, they are required to write a two-page thesis on why they think it’s a bad idea. In terms of helping with vulnerability, if the manager can’t prove his poor opinion of the idea, the accountability is now shared for this idea.
- Kickstart Innovation Workshop (Adobe Systems) – The Kickbox is a small, red cardboard box containing $1,000 in seed money and everything an employee needs to generate and prototype an idea all the way to selling the idea to management. The idea behind the Kickbox is that instead of funding a few big ideas that do get presented, the budget is spread out to potentially find the big ideas that usually go unpresented. Anyone in the company can obtain a Kickbox. Results need to be shared, but there is no deadline when they need to be presented, and more importantly in terms of vulnerability, no judgment if their Kickbox bet doesn’t pay off.
These next three examples address vulnerability by embracing outcomes, even if they were not the desired ones:
- Heroic Failure Award (Procter & Gamble) – This award honors the employee or team with the biggest failure that delivered the greatest insight. As Nelson Mandela would say, this award demonstrates “I never lose. I either win or learn”. After all, crossing off something that didn’t work and understanding why, gives room to then find what needs to be fixed /pivoted to work the next time.
- Dare to Try Award (Tata Group) – This award is given to ambitious projects that didn’t materialize due to any number of factors – cultural issues, technology, inability to commercialize. Yet, it recognizes that someone allowed themselves to be vulnerable enough to try, and therefore can now teach us what doesn’t work.
- Wall of Shame (3d signals) -The Wall of Shame, located in a central part of the company, acknowledges employees who were voted in for saying something spectacularly, well, thick. The CEO of the company, Ariel Rosenfeld, says the wall helps people not take themselves too seriously, and realize that we’re all human, and everyone makes mistakes. To date, the company’s CTO holds the record and has just had his 5th saying hung on the wall.
These examples obviously are not intended to just reward failure because they “tried”. Rather it’s to show people that when they are willing to make themselves vulnerable, we’re willing to help them take sensible risks, and that there is just as much that can be learned from success as there is from failure.
A last piece of advice from Brené for the road – In order to develop manager’s abilities to cultivate an openness to vulnerability in their teams, they need to allow themselves to be vulnerable as well. They would lead by example and demonstrate that the picture of the leader needing to know all the answers is no longer the case. In reality, we’re all in this together.

We strive to safely accommodate the needs of all guests including guests with disabilities. With specific questions, please visit the park to speak directly with a member of our team.
Six Flags accepts card and mobile payments only at all locations including restaurants, retail stores, games, ticket windows, and parking toll booths. You can pay for purchases using a Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, or a debit card. Only have cash? You can convert your cash to a prepaid debit card at one of the multiple kiosks located throughout the park and anywhere in the U.S. where Visa is accepted. We highly encourage you to pre-purchase your parking, tickets, and more online before visiting the park.
There are no lost children at Six Flags Great America, only lost parents. If your child becomes separated from your group, don’t panic! Contact the nearest host/hostess or security officer for assistance, or visit Lost Parents inside the park near the exit. Before entering the park, be sure to instruct children to contact a host or hostess for assistance, should their parents become lost. We also encourage you to establish a special meeting place in advance, just in case your group becomes separated.
Personal pages cannot be broadcast through the Park, but you can leave messages for other members of your party at Guest Services.
Your safety is always our priority. All guests are required to pass through metal detectors and have their bags inspected. Inappropriate items should be left at home or in your car. Please note that weapons, including knives, are not permitted inside the park.
Trained service animals are welcome at our Six Flags Parks. Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals. Miniature horses that have been individually trained to do or perform tasks for people with disabilities will qualify as service animals.
Service animals must be house broken and remain on a leash or harness and under the control of their handler at all times. Owners are responsible for disposing of their animal’s waste. Guests whose service animal demonstrates aggressive and/or annoying actions toward a Guest or Team Member will be directed to remove the animal from the park.
Service animals are welcome in most locations of the park. Our rides/attractions and pools are not equipped, or designed for, accessibility to service animals. Therefore, a member of your party must be available to stay with the animal while you ride.
Further, the park has service animal relief areas for the convenience of guests and their service animals.
Guest safety is our number one priority. There are certain weather circumstances that may cause the entire park to close earlier than scheduled or not open at all. As soon as closures are confirmed, the website operating calendar will be updated with the park’s current operating status. Please check the website prior to visiting on days when weather may be a concern.
If rain, wind or electrical storms force us to close certain rides for your safety, they will re-open as soon as safe operations can be assured. The park offers many activities that are amazingly fun in any kind of weather—including indoor shows, restaurants, shops, games and arcades. Refunds or rain checks for inclement weather are not offered.

1. I am planning a trip for the last week of August, 5 days / 4 Nights with two friends and I to the Broughtons. I have read a bunch of blogs online as well as the “Wild coast 3” book by John Kimantas, which is an amazing source of information. We plan to launch our Kayaks at Telegraph Cove, camp on Flower, Cedar/Owl and Hanson Island. I was wondering if anyone has been an this area and would share some personal experiences and recommendations regarding the place.
2. I have been paddling for the past 4 years and have been on a multi day trips before at the Southern Gulf Islands and Broken Group. I am comfortable with wet exits and rescues and have done a introductory course with wet exit. I would love to learn how to do the roll and was wondering if I could hire or join someone in a pool/open water to help/guide me.
Thank you very much in advance!

New Canadian Skoolie
I bit the bullet last Friday and drove home my new to me:
1991 International 7.3 IDI w 4 speed auto 66 Passenger Corbeil bus.
Only 121k kms on it!
Hydraulic brakes, seats were all removed except for the front cushions.
Runs well but I'll be doing a ton of overhaul to the whole thing - my project is to create a Toy Hauler RV for going sledding in the mountains, dirt bike or street bike trips and all around being able to simplify life whenever I want.
I'll start a build thread to get feedback as I go along and hopefully learn from others great ideas as well as their mistakes.
I'm just outside of Calgary - I can look at the Rocky mountains out of my kitchen window, but I'd rather be in them on foot or on a toy!
Any other Albertan's here?

Split Federal Circuit Panel Holds That Method of Medical Treatment Claims are Patent Eligible
In Natural Alternatives Int’l., Inc. v. Creative Compounds, LLC, Appeal No. 2018-1295 (Fed. Cir., March 15, 2019) a divided panel of the Fed. Cir. held that claims to methods of increasing the anaerobic working capacity in a human subject by administering an amount of a dietary supplement comprising beta-alanine, its ester or amide, effective to increase beta-alanyl histidine dipeptide synthesis in the subject’s tissue via the blood (Moore, Reyna and Wallach, Moore writing, Reyna concurring in part, dissenting in part.) A two-component composition claim comprising glycine and beta-alanine and these derivatives, and either beta-alanine dipeptide or beta-alanyl histidine dipeptide, that is a dietary supplement, was also found to be patent eligible. The panel found that the broadest composition claim reciting only beta-alanine was also patent-eligible:
- A human dietary supplement, comprising a beta-alanine in a unit dosage of between about 0.4-16 grams, wherein the supplement provides a unit dosage form of beta-alanine.
Claims to the use of beta-alanine in manufacturing a human dietary supplement for oral consumption by supplying the beta-alanine as a single ingredient or in combination with at least one other ingredient, in a manufacturing step of the human dietary supplement, whereby oral consumption of the dietary supplement in doses over a period of time increases beta-alanyl histidine levels in muscle tissue sufficient to delay the onset of fatigue in the human. See, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,965,596; 8,933,610; 8,470,865 and RE45,947.
The panel accepted the definition of “dietary supplement” proposed by Natural Alternatives as “an additional to the human diet which is not a natural or conventional food, which effectively increases athletic performance when administered to a human over a period of time.” Natural Alternative’s proposed construction of “effective” was also accepted as “elevates beta alanine above natural levels to cause an increase in the synthesis of beta-alanyl-histidine dipeptide in the tissue.” This is making those terms do a lot of heavy lifting, but the patents had been invalidated at the pleadings stage.
While the district court held that the method claims were natural laws, essentially reasoning that the claims were directed to correlations such as “ingesting certain levels of beta-alanine, a natural substance, will increase the carnosine concentrations in human tissue….” the panel did not agree. Rather the panel held:
“Administering certain quantities of beta-alanine to a human subject alters that subject’s natural state. Specifically, homeostasis is overcome, and the subject’s body will produce greater levels of creatinine…. This, in turn, results in specific physiological benefits for athletes engaged in certain intensive exercise…. The claims not only embody this discovery, they require that an infringer actually administer the dosage form as claimed, altering the athlete’s physiology to provide the described benefits. These are treatment claims and as such they are patent eligible.”
Of course, Vanda was cited and discussed with approval. The panel noted that the claims were not directed to the underlying natural relationships but “to a patent eligible method of using iloperidone to treat schizophrenia, ‘a specific method of treatment for specific patients using a specific compound at specific doses to achieve a specific outcome.’”
Mayo was distinguished on the basis that the Mayo claims required only the “observation of a natural law” where nothing in the claims:
“required any application of [the discovery of the optimum metabolite range], beyond the ‘steps that must be taken in order to apply the laws in question.’…The [Mayo] claims did not, however, require any actual action be taken based on the measured level of metabolite” and so they were not treatment claims. “The fact that the human body responds to the treatment through biochemical processes does not convert the [present] claim into an ineligible one…. Unlike the claims in Mayo, the Method Claims at issue are treatment claims.”
The panel also touched on the natural product issue: “Similarly the fact that the active ingredient in the supplement is a molecule that occurs in nature and is consumed as part of the human diet also does not alter our analysis.” The Myriad decision was also cited: “The Supreme Court has also rejected the idea that claims to methods making use of natural products are equivalent to claims to the natural products themselves.” Funk Bros. was distinguished as not involving claims directed to “methods of selecting and testing the non-inhibitive strains.”
Turning to the composition claims, the panel ruled:
“Although beta-alanine is a natural product, the Product Claims are not directed to beta-alanine. A claim to a manufacture or composition of matter made from a natural product is not directed to the natural product where it has different characteristics and ‘the potential for significant utility.’ [Citing Chakrabarty with approval]….the Product Claims are directed to specific treatment formulations that incorporate natural products, but they have different characteristics and can be used in a manner that beta-alanine as it appears in nature cannot.”
This reasoning is a little hard to follow but appears to be applying the “markedly different” test that the PTO found to have its roots in Chakrabarty. The panel leaned on its construction of “dietary supplement” and its ability to “effectively increase athletic performance [in the amounts recited in the claims or disclosed in the specification as ‘effective’]” as sufficient to distinguish the composition claims, 5 and 6 of the ‘376 patent and claim 1 of the ‘084 patent, from the natural products.
Noting that claim 6 contains a combination of natural products, e.g., beta-alanine dipeptide and glycine, the panel distinguished Funk Bros. on the basis that Creative Compound’s expert had conceded that a combination of “glycine and beta-alanine could have synergistic effects allowing for outcomes that the individual components could not have.” There was some other speculative evidence of synergism that the panel found were sufficient factual allegations to permit the composition claims to survive at the pleadings stage “at the first step of the Alice test.”
The recitation in the manufacturing claim that beta-alanine is used to make a “dietary supplement” was found not to be “directed to a natural law or product of nature, but instead are an application of the law and a new use of that product….directed to the manufacture of a human dietary supplement with certain characteristics. The supplement is not a product of nature and the use of the supplement to achieve a given result is not directed to a law of nature. We do not see, therefore, how a claim to the manufacture of a non-natural supplement would be directed to the law of nature or natural product.”
Judge Reyna’s dissent is primarily based on his opinion that the expansive claim construction the panel employed, particularly with respect to the term “dietary supplement”, improperly imported claim limitations such as “effectively increases the function of a tissue when administered to a human over time” from the specification. He opined that remand was proper so that the district court could do a full claim construction.
This post is already too long, but I think that it is worthwhile to compare the patent-eligible composition claims to the composition claim at issue In re Bhagat. Apart from the fact that the composition claim was found to be anticipated, I think it is fair to ask if, or how, the composition claim – drawn to a “lipid-containing formulation….providing controlled delivery of the formulation containing certain fatty acids to a subject, could be rewritten in view of Natural Alternatives so that it would stay patent eligible at Mayo/Alice Step 1. In any case, it would make a great law school exam question.

26 Jul Smart Pup for Zoë (199215)
I am also autistic and non-speaking. This makes life quite hard for me sometimes and I get frustrated. I live with my mum Mia, dad Hannes and big sis (and my hero!) Luka. My favourite things to do (other than swinging, of course) is jumping on the trampoline, running on an empty beach and watching cars go by. Places I don’t do so well in are where lots of people are places with loud noises. Even though I love watching cars go by, I don’t really realise that they can hurt me, and always need an adult to tightly hold my hand when we are anywhere near a road. An Autism Assistance Dog will help Mum and Dad keep me safe. I also struggle with big emotions and sometimes hurt myself or those around me. Here an Autism Assistance Dog will help me to regulate before the emotions get overwhelming. Or when they do get the best of me, to work through the aftermath of the melt down. I also hate sleeping alone and have only ever slept next to Mum or Dad, or in the middle of them 🙂 I know that having an assistance dog will help me not be afraid of my own room because they will be with me!
Training assistance dogs is a very big job, and takes a long time, up to 24 months. This means it is also a very expensive job, about $30K to train one specifically for me.
Every single donation makes a difference to me and to my family. Having an Autism Assistance Dog will drastically alter my life, giving me more confidence and the freedom to venture into places, becoming a part of my community. I want to thank you in advance, from the bottom of my heart. Every donation adds up to make a big difference! You are part of an incredible community of loyal supporters, who together help to make great things possible from what are often small beginnings. Thank you for your donation! All donations over $2 are tax deductible. Thank you for your suppawt.-Zoë

Why is this chart on Medicare Advantage market share interesting to insurers?
- One-third of Medicare beneficiaries were covered by private plans in 2017 according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
- By 2020, half of Medicare beneficiaries or 38 million people are expected to be in Advantage plans.
- “11,000 baby boomers age into Medicare eligible population every day,“ says Anthem CEO Gail Boudreaux.
- New U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Alex Azar, has spoken favorably about Medicare Advantage, and the budget passed by Congress in early February 2018 helps insurers offering these plans to seniors.
- “Medicare Advantage enrollment will grow at high single-digit rates for the next five years,” forecasts Andrew Kadar, Managing Director of L.E.K. Consulting Healthcare Services segment. Confirming this forecast between 2016 and 2017 MA enrollment grew by 8% or 1.4 million beneficiaries.
- A UBS Survey found that only 12% of Medicare Advantage enrollees changed plans in 2017 while 39% of Medicare eligible enrollees changed Affordable Care Act plans.
- Both Obamacare and Medicare Advantage give consumers assistance in buying a health plan of their choosing. But under Medicare Advantage the government picks up much of the cost, ensuring a steady revenue stream for insurers. Bloomberg reported that plan premiums, which are largely paid for by the government, average almost $1000 a month.
All of these statistics make Medicare Advantage one of the few areas of expansion in an otherwise stagnant industry. Its popularity could insulate insurers from Washington caprice: Seniors are a powerful voting bloc, so margin-threatening political changes are less likely than in businesses like Obamacare. “There’s just a real strong overall value proposition with Medicare Advantage,” Steven Nelson, CEO of United Health’s insurance operation, told investors. “We’re seeing that not only just with the folks we serve, but as we talk to policymakers, too, there’s really strong support for it.”
Opportunities for insurers to increase their Medicare Advantage penetration exist. Half of all states have only 30% of their Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in private plans while six states (CA, HI, FL, MN, OR and PA) have just over 40% enrolled. Group Plans, through unions and employer retirement plans, account for only 3.7 of 19 million enrollees. Marketing individual plans has the greatest upside potential. Investors are recognizing this opportunity and startups are circling these Seniors in advance of the larger firms.
Kaiser Family Foundation notes, “As this growth continues, it will be increasingly important to assess how well the Medicare’s current payment methodology, and the competitive model behind Medicare Advantage is working to enhance efficiency and hold down beneficiary costs and Medicare spending.” There are 57 million beneficiaries potentially impacted by these policies.

We are passionate about utilizing the full potential of the internet and mobile messaging to drive your business growth
Our story began in 2016. Back then, we were a team of three founding members; Eston Kimani, Racheal Kimani & Eutychus Towett. We had an ambitious dream of creating user-friendly communication platforms for businesses. We started operations in a shared office in Westlands, Nairobi on the 1st of March, 2016.
The first iteration of the smsleopard platform had served us and our clients well and had run its course. We now needed a faster, easier to use, and scalable platform that could meet our clients growing needs.
We began to build a new platform and after four (4) months of tireless designing, programming, documenting, testing, and bug fixing our new project was complete - or so we thought. That was on May 23rd of 2016. We excitedly began the process of migration to the second iteration of smsleopard.com, not knowing that we were going to encounter our biggest challenge yet.
We underestimated the complexity of the migration which led to a myriad of issues ranging from missing contacts, nil account balances, just to name a few. It was a botched launch and there was undeniable panic and backlash from our clients. Things were going downhill from here. It was a great inconvenience to our clients, who were unable to send out messages for 2 days. We had to think fast to salvage the situation and our Team Lead made the decision to redirect clients to the old platform.
It was one heck of a week, but we are so grateful for our clients who stuck with us during that period and were patient as we sorted out this quagmire. We had learned valuable lessons on how not to carry out a migration without proper preparation.
The second iteration underwent a total overhaul. The team was very deliberate on the approach of the development. In six (6) months, we had completed it and invited the users to interact with the new features. The experience was different this time and users eagerly tested the new features. All users had been successfully migrated to the new iteration by the 1st of December 2016. The launch was a success and the clients were very satisfied with the move.
Fast forward to today, our Brand is trusted by hundreds of businesses who use our products to connect with their customers. Individuals too, use the service for social engagements as well.
We continue to create platforms that utilize the full potential of the internet and mobile messaging to drive business growth every day. This, coupled with innovation and a customer centric approach ensures that our products are centered around our customers needs. Our motto is guided by the Kaizen philosophy of continuous improvement of our products, services and people to derive the greatest benefit to all.
Our team comprises talented and highly motivated employees who are proactive in understanding and meeting customer needs. We find innovative ways to consistently exceed the expectations of our customers and business partners while ensuring a delightful experience. We are committed to providing exemplary service to our clients. To us, that means our customers' personal information remains confidential and secure, adhering to best industry Bulk SMS practices, and timely resolution of customer complaints.

Who doesn’t love a little bit of cheddar with pickle on a sandwich, parmesan sprinkled over a home cooked pasta dish or mozzarella melted on a pizza? It comes as no surprise that figures surrounding UK cheese exports has grown up to nearly 25%. Smylies are happy to provide delicious dairy products across the globe from big brands such as Cathedral City and Pilgrim’s Choice to more independent cheese makers including Quicke’s and Wensleydale Creamery. So, why has the cheese industry boomed over the last few years?
According to data from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) the reason the export industry is fast becoming a cheese-dominated world is due to the quality of the product.
From crumbly wensleydale to creamy stinking bishop, there is no shortage of cheese in Britain, and the rest of the world seems to agree. HMRC statistics show that cheddar is the leading force in exports with Ireland, France and the Netherlands at the forefront of this boom and as such, the value of cheddar increased to up to 57% over the course of the year. However, there has also been a notable increase in fresh cheese sales such as mozzarella.
Cheese is a staple in any diet, from being enjoyed with a simple slice of bread and butter to being a key ingredient in a Roquefort salad, and Smylies export the best of British cheese to all four corners of the globe. Whether you fancy classic cheese on toast or your customers love Cheesestrings, keep your overseas shop stocked with UK cheese from Smylies!

We’ve all had the incredibly frustrating experience of trying to find a critical file, email, or contact that we know exists, but we can’t remember where we stored it or what exactly it was named. We spend hours typing various keywords into the search bar, hoping to blindly stumble upon it. Findo is an AI-powered search assistant designed to dramatically simplify this headache, providing technology to streamline searches across all your storage locations, all your cloud accounts, and all your connected devices.
After using the product for a short time, Findo seems to have created a pretty helpful tool that could save a lot of people a lot of time. Others seem to think so as well; the company has raised a total of $7 million in funding in just two years, with a $4 million injection of seed funding arriving this past July.
Search Everywhere With Natural Language
Unlike most search tools, which are limited to a single data source, Findo allows you to dig deep into every place you may have stashed important information. That includes: Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, Exchange, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Evernote, hard drives, iPhones and iPads. If the search function on your computer and SkyNet had a one night stand, Findo might be the result.
Users begin by selecting their sources and then giving Findo permission to access and index all the data within. Since I use Google for just about everything, I selected Gmail, Google Drive, and my MacBook hard drive.
Immediately, Findo began scanning and processing everything. It turns out that after 10 years or so of collecting files and emails, I have a ton of stuff.
Unfortunately, several days after beginning to use the product, my data is still being processed. That’s a bit frustrating because I can’t perform a comprehensive search right away, but in the meantime the benefits are still pretty clear. (Hopefully, this is a temporary setback in processing due to a spike in usage and the usual growing pains of big data scaling.)
Once everything has been indexed, users can begin searching across all their sources, using both keywords and conversational phrases, leveraging Natural Language Processing intelligence. For example, if I search the sentence “Find the email from Benjamin Mann that contains images,” I see all the emails Ben has sent me that have images attached or embedded.
Or if I type, “PDF from Benjamin Mann” it knows to search through all the things I’ve received from Ben that contain PDFs, or PDF files with those words associated with its metadata.
The beauty of this kind of functionality is pretty clear: it allows me to find information even if I can’t remember exactly where it’s stored, who gave it to me, when I received it (though written parameters of timeline and recency could be used), or what particular naming conventions were used with subject lines or associated files.
I can search based on the few things that I actually do know, like the fact that it contains an image or spreadsheet or a ticket; or that it was sent to me sometime last July; or that it contains the phrase “canned anchovies.” Or I can search exclusively for PDFs within Google Docs, Invoices in Evernote, or phone numbers in Gmail. It’s this ability to search both broad and narrow that makes Findo truly powerful.
If you’re a digital hoarder, this is the ideal solution, especially if you’ve hopped around between Evernote, Google, and Dropbox like I have.
Unleashing Predictive Insights and Bots
Perhaps the coolest feature of Findo is what it calls, Predictive Insights. Gary Fowler, CEO and co-founder of Findo, describes it this way:
The system “recognizes” email from important people that contain requests and forwards those requests to Slack and/or Facebook Messenger. Your boss sends an urgent email asking for last month’s report but you are out of the office. Findo will alert you through your messenger and help you find and share that report in just seconds.
Users can also use bots to search for files within Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Skype, and Slack. Once a search is complete, action can be taken from right within that messaging interface. So not only is the future of search about going to anywhere with a query, but just as much about coming from anywhere.
Information overload is increasing at an astronomical rate. Every day we’re assaulted by emails and chat messages from a thousand different sources. Trying to keep track of this information is impossible. Many of the best organizational strategies can’t compete with the brute force of so much data across so many channels, folding in the complexity of time. I can’t count how many times I’ve tried to find a file, only to end up finding my scotch cabinet.
Hopefully, the future looks a little more like Findo. More and more technologies are playing nice when it comes to integrations and APIs, so this becoming closer to the norm would be healthy progress for many of us. As Fowler puts it, “Findo is quickly evolving into a smart search assistant that can be used in a number of different ways to stop infobesity.” It isn’t hard for the ponderous imagery of that term to resonate with just about anyone who has been living off of a laptop (and 40 other cloud-based services) for the last decade.
As Findo continues to add more options, it will only become more useful. Fold in some image recognition and imagine searching for photos of specific people or places? Or searching through songs and audio files based on specific words or phrases? The technology is all there, as are companies like Findo. Hopefully over the next short while, they get much easier to find.

A root canal is a type of treatment which is require to repair and save a tooth that is badly ruined or infected by the germs. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning it, and then filling and sealing it.
Root canals are performed by dentists and endodontists (specialists who treat conditions of the tooth’s pulp). In case you have a tooth that requires an immediate root canal treatment, then your dentist will refer you to an endodontist.
Step 1: Anesthetize the Tooth
The first treatment for root canal in Singapore step in the procedure is to numb the tooth and surrounding area with local anesthesia.
Step 2: Isolate the Tooth
Next, a rubber dam (a small, thin sheet of rubber) will be placed around the tooth to keep it dry and free of saliva during the procedure.
Step 3: Make an Opening in the Tooth
Once the tooth is isolated, the endodontist will make an opening in the crown of the tooth (the part visible above the gum line) so that they can access the pulp chamber.
Step 4: Remove Damaged Pulp
Using special instruments, the endodontist will remove any damaged pulp from within the pulp chamber and root canals. Once all of the diseased pulp has been removed, they will clean and shape the inside of these chambers and canals.
Step 5: Fill & Seal Root Canals
After cleaning and shaping, the endodontist will fill your root canals with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. In some cases, they may also place a temporary filling in your tooth before you leave the office. Finally, they will seal off your tooth with a permanent filling or crown. This restores your tooth to its full function so that you can continue to eat and speak normally.
Step 6: Follow-Up Appointment
You will likely need to return for a follow-up appointment so that the endodontist can check on the healing of your tooth.
A root canal is a common dental procedure that is used to save teeth that are badly decayed or infected. The procedure involves removing the damaged pulp, cleaning out the inside of the tooth, and then filling and sealing it. Root canals are usually performed by dentists or endodontists (specialists who treat conditions of the tooth’s pulp). If you have a tooth that requires a root canal, your dentist will refer you to an endodontist. The entire procedure usually takes one or two visits to complete. Once it is finished, your restored tooth should function just like any other tooth and last you for many years to come!

Organic Conversion & Maintenance - Scotland
Funding for organic in Scotland
The AECS application window is currently closed.
The information below is from the previous application window and is published here for reference only.
To stay informed of upcoming funding opportunities sign up to either:
- Soil Association Certification’s monthly Organic Trade News
- Soil Association Charity's monthly Farming News
AECS provides funding for farmers and land managers in Scotland to make environmental improvements and will support the Scottish government’s ambition of doubling the amount of land under organic management. The scheme provides a chance for farmers, crofters and land managers in Scotland to convert to and manage their farms to organic standards.
Scottish Ministers have also agreed to deliver future rounds of the fund up to and including 2024, to provide ongoing certainty.
Get the information you need:
The Scottish Government has made some strong commitments to doubling the amount of organic agricultural land in Scotland by 2026, and with financial support available for organic conversion and maintenance, there are financial opportunities for farmers to certify and convert to organic.
AECS conversion funding is a five-year agreement and includes increased payments for the first two years, providing a financial boost for farmers through their conversion period.
Soil Association Certification's Scottish licensees reported a massive 36.5% increase in sales in 2021.
Organic offers a valuable model for building future farm resilience. Hear from Sam Parsons at Balcaskie estate about his experience of converting his farm:
The Soil Association 2021, ‘Does it stack up?’ report found that net farm income has continued to increase for organic cropping farms, resulting in a significantly higher figure when compared to non-organic.
Organic maintenance and conversion is no longer capped in AECS from the 2023 application round. Existing organic maintenance contract holders with land on their schedule of works in excess of the previous caps will start to be paid on these areas from the 2024 scheme year.
- AECS conversion agreements are over 5 years and conversion payments will normally be paid for up to 2 years, except for permanent crops such as fruit trees where a 3-year conversion period applies. Subsequent years are paid at the management rate.
- 5-year maintenance agreements are also available for farmers who have already completed organic conversion and will be paid at the maintenance rate for the full 5 years.
Maintenance payments provide support to farmers or groups of farmers to use organic farming methods and to encourage the expansion of organic production in Scotland to deliver environmental benefits.
- Arable: Years one to five: £65
- Improved grassland: Years one to five: £55
- Unimproved grassland/rough grazing: Years one to five: £8.50
- Fruit and veg: Years one to five: £200
- Years one to two: £280
- Years three to five: £65
- Improved grassland:
- Years one to two: £140
- Years three to five: £55
- Umimproved grassland/rough grazing:
- Years one to two: £12.50
- Years three to five: £8.50
- Fruit and veg:
- Years one to two: £400
- Years three to five: £200
- The application window opens on Monday 30 January 2023
- Application deadline: Wednesday 7 June 2023
When applying for AECS funding for organic conversion, there are three key steps you will need to follow:
- You must apply for AECS funding directly with Scottish Government Rural Payments and Services. Please visit their website for further information and a step-by-step guide to applying for AECS.
- As part of your application, you must submit an organic viability proposal endorsed by a UK – approved Organic Certification Body such as Soil Association Certification. Get in touch with our practical and friendly farming team to discuss how we can support you.
- After you have submitted your AECS application and had confirmation that it has been approved by Scottish Government, you can apply to Soil Association Certification and commence conversion of the land/livestock (which must be no earlier than 1st January of the first year of management covered in your AECS application).
Certifying with Soil Association Certification
If you choose to certify with Soil Association Certification, we offer discounted conversion fees to support you through your transition period. Find out more about the steps you can take to prepare your farm for organic conversion and the application process and fees.Why certify with us?
Our expert farming certification team can talk you through how organic conversion and certification could work on your farm.

I see a lot of hatred towards Farmaajo, and regardless of your opinion of him, I have not seen anyone campaign for any alternatives to him. It's easy to complain, but come up with another candidate who would be better.
Who do you think would be best for Somalia as a whole in the next elections?

Digital Performer's ProVerb offers an easy way to experiment with guitar amp impulse responses.
Digital Performer’s amp and cab simulations are excellent, but so is the ProVerb convolution reverb — and can use it to expand the number of cabs available to the amps. ProVerb uses convolution technology, where an audio ‘snapshot’ (called an impulse response, or IR) of an acoustic space is used to impart that space’s characteristics to the audio. As an analogy, think of the impulse response as a ‘mould’ of a particular space; you can ‘pour’ your sound into the mould. If the space is a concert hall, the sound takes on the hall’s sonic characteristics. If the space is a cabinet, the sound takes on the cab’s tonal qualities.
There’s a thriving market of third‑party impulse responses, which you can load into guitar amps, convolution engines, effects and amp simulators. You don’t need to spend any money to experiment with cab IRs, because there are plenty of free ones available online. Some of the best include offerings from Wilkinson Audio (wilkinsonaudio.com/collections/free), Overdriven (Overdriven.fr), Kalthallen Cabs (cabs.kalthallen.de) and Sound Woofer (soundwoofer.com). The free IRs from those four sites will give you plenty to start with, and with minimal searching you can unearth even more sources. (You can also find additional reverb IRs that you can use in ProVerb in a traditional reverb scenario to supplement the included collection.)
You don’t need to spend any money to experiment with cab IRs, because there are plenty of free ones available online.
Once you’ve downloaded some IRs, getting started is easy. Open DP and insert one of DP’s amps, without a Live Room, on a guitar track. Next, follow it with an instance of ProVerb, into which you’ll load your cabinet IR.
ProVerb accepts many audio file types, including WAV, AIFF, MP3 and even MOV. That said, most of the IRs you’ll find will be AIFF or WAV. Some IR collections offer versions at several sampling rates, but it doesn’t seem to matter with ProVerb, which converts the IR so that it works at the session’s sampling rate.
There’s also the issue of mono and stereo IRs. Although more of the available free IRs are mono, some were captured in stereo and sound quite a bit fuller. It’s worth checking out both types. That said, you don’t always want a big, wide stereo image on a guitar track, particularly if you’re going to pan it significantly to one side. Often, a mono track will sit better in a mix.
To keep it simple, you can just match the format of the track and the plug‑ins with the IR. In other words, load a mono IR into a mono instance of ProVerb. If you try to load a stereo IR in a mono version of ProVerb, it will be effectively converted to mono because only one side will load. If you have a mono track and want a stereo cab, you can open a mono‑to‑stereo version of ProVerb and then load a stereo IR.
Loading an IR in ProVerb is as easy as dragging and dropping the IR file from the directory where you’ve stored it into the waveform display area in the centre of the plug‑in. You’ll get a dialogue box that allows you to select the save location for the IR. You can choose from several options for where to save it. If you choose Project, it will get saved with your project. If you select User, it will go to the User folder and be available in all your projects. If you choose Shared, it will be available for any logged‑in user of the computer. (For example, on a studio computer where several people have log‑ins.)
If you’re trying out a lot of IRs to find ones you like, you can end up with a pretty long list of them in your User folder, making it harder to find the ones you want. It’s great to have options, but you don’t want to be drawn into option overload. Treat DP’s User folder for impulse responses like a favourites folder, not just ‘a place to store a bunch of impulses’. If it’s not love at first sight with a cab impulse, it probably won’t be love at second sight, either.
If you get to the point where you need to clean out your User, Shared or Project folders, you must do so from your desktop, not from within DP. The IRs get stored in Library folders on the Mac and in Data folders on Windows. DP’s Plug‑ins Guide offers specific instructions for deleting individual IRs or entire folders. It’s worth reading those sections, so you know how to do it.
You don’t have to make many parameter adjustments to use cabinet IRs with ProVerb, but one thing to make sure of is to set the Mix control to 100 percent. You don’t want to mix in the pre‑cabinet amp sound; you want the entire signal to get processed by the cabinet IR.
Depending on the sound of the IR, you may want to experiment with some of ProVerb’s other adjustable parameters. The Length knob can change the perceived mic distance. With many IRs, you get better results by lengthening than by shortening, which can sometimes make the signal sound thin and phasey.
The Length, Damping and Mix controls all require massive calculations by ProVerb’s convolution engine. If you adjust any of them in real time, you’ll often hear a brief glitch as the plug‑in calculates its new setting. (The same is true for Predelay, but you wouldn’t want to use that with a cabinet IR.) As a result, you can’t automate those parameters. However, the EQ, input and output levels, and Dynamic Mixing controls are automatable. ProVerb’s four‑band EQ is particularly helpful for cutting out some lows, below about 100Hz, thus reducing low‑end clutter.
The Dynamic Mixing section consists of Threshold, Sensitivity and Compression knobs. The compressor is located after the signal is processed by the IR and uses the dry signal as its side‑chain input. According to the DP Plug‑ins manual, this “allows a ‘wetter’ mix while retaining intelligibility of the input signal”. Like the EQ, it’s worth experimenting with. If you’d prefer, you can load separate EQ and compressor plug‑ins after ProVerb in the signal chain. DP offers plenty of options for those types of processors.
ProVerb’s input and output gain knobs are handy for eliminating clipping. If you see clipping in ProVerb’s meter, you can use those knobs to get your levels under control.
One thing to remember is that loading a new impulse response doesn’t affect the rest of the parameters in ProVerb, but loading a preset does. Therefore, it’s helpful to create a generic preset with all parameters at their default positions. That way, if you’ve made a lot of parameter adjustments on one IR but want to try a different cabinet sound, you can load your default program to restore the default settings before trying the next one.
An IR is a snapshot of sound from a moment in time. As a result, a convolution processor is not the right tool for creating effects that change over time, such as modulation and delay. For effects like that, use the insert slots in your guitar channel after ProVerb. DP offers an excellent collection of plug‑ins such as Diamond Drive, Delta Fuzz, Analog Chorus and Analog Delay, to name just some. If you want to go beyond the realm of guitar stompbox effects, DP also offers plug‑ins like Sonic Modulator, Megasynth and Micro G.
Just because you’re using one instance of ProVerb for cabinet emulations, it doesn’t mean you couldn’t put another one later in the signal chain or on an aux track to use as a reverb. A useful effect is to open a preset for one of ProVerb’s smaller spaces (for example, Factory/Delay/Closet, Factory/Plates Guitar or Factory/Rooms/Small), dialled in lightly, to enhance the roominess of the cabinet sounds.
Another handy effect with ProVerb on an aux is to use one of the Factory reverb IRs that offer Left, Right, and Center settings to put some reverb on the opposite side of your panned guitar. Adding a modest amount can make your guitar sound quite full but still seem panned to one side.
Although DP’s Live Room plug‑ins have lots of great cabinet sounds, you can get additional options with third‑party IRs and ProVerb. Getting into the world of online cabinet IRs is fun, easy and you don’t have to spend a penny. If you use DP for guitar recording, it’s worth your time to give it a try.
