WROUGHT IRON DESINGS NATIONALITY
Many of the components utilized nowadays in ornamental iron work are common on every country. However, certain characteristics of the ornamentations are claimed to have originated from Spain, Italy and France as the major contributors to the ornamental iron art, but also and not least to Britain and the United States. Spain Italy and France are the most romantic and traditionally artistic cultures, and its landscape and climate has prompted its architecture to make use of open decks, balconies, front stairs and porches.
In consequence its architecture has included a lot of wrought iron elements, and has made possible that architects and artisans, at unison, create beautiful iron designs, that are enjoyed in every country of the world. Many claims of country of authorship of certain designs, however, are only mere suppositions and appreciations of travelers and historians that have identified a certain characteristic of the iron designs used in a country, and for the most part should not be considered historical facts.
Of course there are schools of iron in most every country in the world. Particularly in the United States one can identify French and British architectural iron in cities like New Orleans, Boston, New York and Philadelphia. Miami has also a strong iron culture that came with many immigrants from the Caribbean and South America. Central and South American Iron designs are Spanish for the most part. One can see in Miami and other Florida cities, a lot of iron fencing with spears and scrolls, as well as decorative window bars and “portones” or entrance gates, not to speak gorgeous railings in upscale residences. California is another state with a long wrought iron tradition, and has been influenced by Mexican artistry. Mexican blacksmiths and fabricators pretty much dominate the wrought iron ornamental industry in California.
In the city of New York, of course there is a strong Italian influence and as in California one finds a strong Spanish motive, perhaps more than in any other part of the world. However it is worth mentioning the “cast iron” and “cast bronze” culture of the city, which brings old memories of the NY Company, J.L. Mott Iron Works and the magnificent centennial of Philadelphia.
Yes, it is worth mentioning the iron work one finds in the city of Philadelphia, especially in the South walk area where one can admire beautiful iron-works of Merricks, Morris & Tasker, Savery and others, which is a strong representation of the British - French schools with heavy duty iron and majestic scrollwork.
You can find wrought iron railings and balconies with an European or American characteristics at www.deciron.com. If you go on a trip, lets say to Venice, and you see a building with a special wrought iron railing design or characteristic you can order it custom made and shipped to your home at Decorative Iron - www.deciron.com.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — North Las Vegas police investigators estimate a pickup truck was going at least 80 mph when it crashed Tuesday just outside fire department headquarters on Losee Road.
The driver had only minor injuries, police said.
The posted speed limit on Losee Road is 45 mph.
A photo of the truck shows extensive damage to the truck, but it’s unclear if the truck rolled over before coming to rest just in front of the administration building’s sign on the southeast corner of the intersection at Losee and Frehner Road, just north of Alexander Road. Losee is often busy with truck traffic between Craig Road and Cheyenne Avenue.
“#NLVPD would like to remind everyone there is no need for this speed!” according to a social media post. “Please slow down!”
No additional details about the crash were released.

Geothermal energy is considered to be regenerative energy. Its advantages: The heat stored in the earth can be used for heating and cooling and also to generate electricity. Scientists at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg, the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) and the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) in Spain now want to find out to what extent low-lying volcanic regions can also serve as a clean and sustainable source of energy. They are doing this by actively pumping water into these ultra-hot geothermal systems in order to generate renewable heat and electricity.
The research project, named HIGHER, is about a new form of deep geothermy that concentrates primarily on volcanic regions. What is particularly interesting about this technology is its potentially high energy production. As a matter of fact, it exceeds conventional systems by a factor of ten.
First step has been taken
Nevertheless, the research is still in its infancy. This means that it also has to face some major scientific and technological challenges. It is still unclear whether or not these systems can be operated safely. And as yet we don’t know how they will behave over much longer periods.
The team has now taken an initial step towards researching these systems. For the first time, they have analyzed in various experiments how long it takes cold water to reach the depths. As well as how the rise in pressure and the cooling of the bedrock and thereby seismic activity are all affected. This is of crucial importance: a fundamental understanding of seismic activity in deep geothermal operations is an important factor when it comes to the safe and sustainable use of geothermal technology.
The researchers initially developed their own software called OpenGeoSys for their work. Which is an open source research platform that is managed by the UFZ in cooperation with various universities and research institutions. With the help of this platform, the scientists were able to simulate and describe the complex physical processes in the earth’s crust on a computer for the first time ever. As a result, they gained important insights into how supercritical geothermal systems might be safely operated in the future.
Results have been published
The scientists recently published their results in the renowned scientific journal Nature Communications. The HIGHER project is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. With a positive outcome – as the TU Freiberg and the UFZ are planning to further expand their collaboration in the field of environmental geosciences.

Our feet are complicated things. They’re made up of a complex of bones, joints and (get this) more than 100 tendons.
As I said – complicated.
And when you have heel pain, you’ve got a problem with the largest bone found in the foot. There are several conditions which might be indicated by heel pain and corresponding treatments.
Let’s look at a couple of common conditions and treatments.
- Plantar fasciitis: This Is the most common foot ailment around. It’s small wonder because the heel is connected to the rest of the foot by the plantar fascia, which is a web-like tendon supporting the arch of the foot.
Icing your foot 4 times a day for 15 to 20 minutes is a good place start but a physical therapist can help you with exercises to stretch the plantar fascia and associated tendons, as well as to strengthen the lower leg muscles.
- Achilles tendonitis: This overuse injury causes the Achilles tendon (which attaches to the heel) to become inflamed. Your shoes may also be the culprit, if they either don’t fit properly or are no longer supporting your feet. High heels are another major cause of this condition.
Again, resting the tendon, combined with gentle stretching exercises are your first line of attack. Physically active people will benefit from reducing their activity levels. Icing the tendon is helpful, as well.
Remember, though, that this condition can become serious if you don’t rest and apply self-care. You can rupture the tendon, which requires surgery.
These are just two common causes of heel pain, but it can derive from factors as varied as fractures, strains, sprains and even spinal conditions. All these underlying causes demand immediate medical intervention.
Do I need to see a doctor?
If you’re experiencing serious, persistent pain, then yes. Go to the doctor. This is especially true if you’re compensating for the pain by walking differently or find that you can’t walk at all.
Sudden pain, swelling and redness are other indications that you require medical attention.
As I’ve mentioned, self-care goes a long way, but your doctor will be able to more accurately diagnosis the condition causing your pain and take appropriate action. This may include supportive taping and footwear appliances to take pressure off the heel and the affected or implicated structures.
Depending on the nature of your condition, you may also be referred to a physical therapist or other medical professional for specialized treatment.

Wendy Reuer, Published November 09 2010
D-G-F group suggests building new schoolAfter months of trying to find the best option for an overcrowded school district, a task force for the Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton School District brought its recommendations to the school board Monday night.
The task force, comprised of about 23 community members, proposed both long- and short-term solutions to address a growing student population, something Superintendent Randy Bruer has called a “good problem to have.”
With about 1,380 students enrolled this year, the district has swelled since 2000, when about 1,250 students were enrolled. It is projected to grow to more than 1,460 by 2014.
“You can see the growth coming through the system right now,” Bruer said Monday.
The task force considered a number of possible solutions, but many of the options, such as using portable classrooms, were not viable because of the high expense with little return.
For the short term, the task force suggested the district move overflow to locations such as churches and rent space if needed.
Churches in Glyndon have already expressed a willingness to allow pre-school classes to be held at their locations. The community center in Glyndon is also a possibility to use as school space, Bruer said.
For long-term goals, the task force suggested that a renewal of a $500-per-pupil levy referendum be acted on quickly, moving it up to May.
If passed, the levy could help pay for the task force’s long-term recommendation to construct a building that could serve as a junior high and possibly become a campus.
Task force member LeAnn Gifford said it was apparent consolidation of the elementary schools was not an option that was appealing to the communities of Dilworth and Glyndon, where the two elementary schools are located.
“I think the major factor here is the parents,” Gifford said.
She said parents and the task force considered the increase in transportation time and cost if only one elementary school was available.
Gifford said losing a school could have a negative effect on economic development in both Glyndon and Dilworth.
Rick Cariveau, a Dilworth City Council member, agreed it is important to keep the schools in Dilworth and Glyndon but said the school district will need to make sure it can convince the voting population without kids in school that an investment in the school system is necessary.
“It’s going to be a tough sell no matter what you do, whether you add on to the schools or you build a new building. But it has to be done,” he said.

Imaginative, distinctive poster designs paid off for a senior and a Troy sophomore enrolled in the Bloomfield Hills School District.
Lahser High student Elizabeth Sabol, 16, was selected this month for a $1,000 top award in a statewide competition sponsored by the North American International Auto Show. Sindi Karoshi, 18, also is among 16 statewide finalists.
Sabol, known as "Lizzy" at school, impressed judges with her professional-quality graphic of a running figure with gears, pistons, springs and other automotive components representing flung-back arms, a beating heart, pumping calf muscles and wind-blown hair.
"I got inspired by looking at cars and comparing them to people, from the headlights to the grille making a face," she says.
The skilled teen won the Chairmen's Award, one of two top prizes, and is one of just four sophomore prize-winners. Finalists were selected from among 900 entries.
Troy High winner
Karoshi, a newcomer to computer-generated graphics, won $100 for her third-place finish.
"I just started learning about design this year," she says, crediting computer graphics teacher Heather Kelly for showing her how to combine her interest in mechanical drawing with her creativity. Karoshi plans to major in engineering in college.
Working with Adobe PhotoShop, a digital design tool, the Troy High senior added striking typography to a Detroit skyline image found online. Her entry grabs attention with a stylized nighttime silhouette of downtown above "NAIAS 2012" – referring to the North American International Auto Show.
Sabol used the Abobe Illustrator program to craft distinctive, dynamic artwork that suggests motion, machinery and modernity. Her entry also includes required type naming the show and its site.
The 16-year-old's early-stage career interests involve "automotive design as well as graphic design. I like graphic design because I enjoy using computers as a tool to create art."
Students' work on view
Detroit's auto extravaganza opens at Cobo Center with a Jan. 9-10 media preview before a Jan. 14-22 public exhibit of new models and concept cars.
The event, among the highest-profile auto shows worldwide, is organized by the Troy-based Detroit Auto Dealers Association. It enlisted College for Creative Studies instructors from Detroit and other members of the local art community to judge the high school poster contest.
All 16 finalists' designs, submitted as 25-inch by 21-inch posters, will be displayed at the show and in the program brochure. They’re also displayed on the event's website. The dealers' association gave $6,300 to teen poster artists, including two $1,000 top prizes.
"This unique opportunity encourages students to pursue interests in not only the art community, but the automotive industry as well," says auto show chairman Bill Perkins, a Chevrolet dealer in Taylor.
Rod Alberts of Bloomfield Hills, executive director of the group, has overseen the downtown show since 1990.

The group’s first full-length Japanese album ‘Girls’ Generation’ was released in June last year and is still recording high sales with the album certified ‘Million’ by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) earlier this month, which makes them the second Korean artist to have achieved the ‘Million’ certification after their senior BoA’s ‘Best of Soul’ compilation album more than seven years ago.
Girls’ Generation were no strangers to the MTV VMAJ awards as they won two out of three nominations last year, namely the ‘Best Group Video’ and ‘Best Karaokee! Song’ awards for the Japanese remake of their hit single ‘Genie’, where they beat Black Eyed Peas, Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne, Justin Bieber, Ikimono-gakari and w-inds for the awards.
The awards represent the success of the group in Japan, who had made their debut in the country only less than two years ago in August 2010, and their upcoming release ‘Paparazzi’ has already gotten huge support and response from Japanese and international fans alike. The group has also kicked off their promotional activities for ‘Paparazzi’ on TV Asahi’s ‘Music Station’ on Friday.

Stratification is a process for breaking dormancy in seeds. It consists in storing seeds at low temperatures, but above freezing. In daylilies, and most other plants, seeds require moisture as well as cold temperatures for effective stratification.
Some varieties of daylily will produce seeds which do not need any stratification. Many daylilies' seeds do however need it, and will not germinate until their stratification needs have been fulfilled. There is no way to know in advance which type a given batch of seeds will be unless you have had experience with the same parents in the past.
To be sure your seeds will germinate well after planting, it is best to always stratify all daylily seed which you wish to grow. A minimum of three weeks of stratification has been recommended by Dr Rober Carr and others, but respected texts on the subject state that a minimum of five weeks is necessary.
Storing daylily seeds in the freezer is a different matter, and the seeds must be well dried before being frozen. Frozen dry seeds can be held for years without complete loss of viability. Freezing may not satisfy the seeds' need for stratification.
Seed can be stratified in any convenient, waterproof container. Zip-top plastic bags can be purchased from many plastic companies. The 4-inch by 6-inch size with a white label area is excellent.
Write on the bag the identity of the seeds; i.e., the name of the pod parent, an "X", and then the name of the pollen parent. Place the seeds in the bag and add a few drops of sterile water. Distilled water from the drugstore works well, but tap water from a chlorinated municipal water supply will also work. The water should not be sloshing around in the bag! Close the zip top tightly.
Store in a refrigerator at 35 to 40°F (2 to 4°C) for the recommend period of time, or until you are ready to plant.

TASS, ‘None so Deaf as Will Not Hear’. June 14, 1941
From the summer of 1940 to 22 June 1941 the NKVD received a mass of information about Germany’s preparations for the invasion of the USSR. German reconnaissance planes flew deep over Soviet territory over 200 times, always over military and defence objects, and one of these planes when forced to land was found to be carrying aerial photographic equipment (Izvestiya TsK KPSS, no. 4, 1990, pp. 216-18). Despite warnings from General G. Zhukov, the Soviet spy Richard Sorge in the German embassy in Tokyo, Winston Churchill and others about the concentration of German forces on the Soviet border, the Soviet information agency TASS issued the following disclaimer.
Original Source: Pravda, 14 June 1941.
1. Germany has made no demands on the USSR and is not proposing any new, closer, agreement and thus negotiations on this subject could not have taken place.
2. According to Soviet information, Germany is undeviatingly fulfilling the conditions of the Soviet-German non-aggression pact, as is the Soviet Union; in view of this, in Soviet opinion, rumors that Germany plans to tear up the pact and attack the USSR lack any substance, and the recent transfer of German forces, freed from operations in the Balkans, to eastern and north-eastern regions of Germany is linked, one must suppose, with motives having nothing to do with Soviet-German relations.
3. Arising out of its peaceful policy, the USSR has observed and will observe the conditions of the Soviet-German non-aggression pact, thus rumors that the USSR is preparing for war with Germany are lies and provocations.

Quantum Detection Focus of Australia’s Dept of Defense & Institute for Photonics & Advanced Sensing
(MirageNews) Australia’s Department of Defence, through its next generation technology fund, has selected 11 projects that exploit the extraordinary properties of quantum mechanics to deliver improved security for Australians. The Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) at the University of Adelaide is involved in four of these ambitious projects.
IPAS will work closely with the Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group on four ambitious quantum technology projects. Three of the four projects focus on quantum detection.
One project explores whether ‘quantum’ radar can be used to detect stealth aircraft. Detecting ‘exquisitely-small’ magnetic fields will be the focus of two other projects: these could be used to track submarines or detect hidden metal objects through a wall.

Farmworkers feed the world. This is the rallying cry of the Student Action with Farmworkers (SAF), an organization that works with students, advocates, and farmworkers across the United States to create a more just agricultural system. The crucial contribution that farmworkers make to the food system has only heightened amid the C0VID-19 pandemic, as farmworkers are among the list of critical positions that the United States Department of Homeland Security encouraged to continue a normal working schedule.
On Valentine's Day, people celebrate all kinds of love. And chefs and foodies around the globe are showing how indulgence can often be both healthy for people and the planet. These innovators are making the case that flavorful, locally sourced plant-inspired dishes are perfect for special occasions — and also versatile for everyday mealtimes.

This is part one of a three-part interview series with Miyoko Schinner, CEO and Founder of plant dairy startup, Miyoko's Kitchen.
Food Tank sat down with Miyoko Schinner and her two rescue dogs, Koan and Kaiti, in the office of her company's 30,000 square-foot facility in Petaluma, CA. The first thing she wants to tell our readers may come as a surprise given her company's mission to revolutionize dairy by "creating a new economy based on plants" instead of other animals.

The United Nations estimates that nearly 10 billion people will be living in cities by 2050. According to a recent publication by the Barilla Center for Food & Nutrition, urban eaters consume most of the food produced globally and maintain more resource-intensive diets including increased animal-source and processed foods — rich in salt, sugar and fats. At the same time, many urban populations — particularly in low-income areas and informal communities — endure acute hunger and malnutrition as well as limited access to affordable, healthy food.

As the holiday season ramps up for many across the world, Food Tank is highlighting 15 children's books that will introduce young eaters, growers and innovators to the world of food and agriculture. Authors and organizations are working to show children the importance — and fun — of eating healthy, nutritious and delicious food, growing their own produce, and giving food to others in need.

On November 1st and 2nd, more than 80 food activists, farmers, policymakers, performers, journalists, researchers, business leaders, chefs and others will gather in New York City for the 3rd Annual Food Tank NYC Summit and Gala Dinner. This year, we're focusing around the theme of "The Food Movement Is Growing (and Winning)!" The hard work that food system advocates do every day is making a difference, and we're highlighting the small victories and major achievements that are building a more equitable and environmentally sustainable food system.

Eating a better diet has been linked with lower levels of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. But unfortunately 821 million people — about 1 in 9 worldwide — face hunger, and roughly 2 billion people worldwide are overweight or obese, according to the U.N. World Health Organization. In addition, food insecurity is associated with even higher health care costs in the U.S., particularly among older people. To help direct worldwide focus toward solving these issues, the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals call for the elimination of hunger, food insecurity and undernutrition by 2030.
The U.S. generates almost 80 million tons of packaging waste each year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. When landfilled or incinerated, this waste pollutes the environment and poses health risks to humans and wildlife. Packaging is also the main source of the plastic pollution that is clogging the ocean and expected to exceed the weight of all fish by 2050 at current rates. The food industry is largely responsible for this growing packaging problem.

Reuters Interviews ISGMH Director Mustanski on IRBs and HIV Prevention Research
Dr. Brian Mustanski, Director of the Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing was recently interviewed by Reuters about his new article in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Excerpt below:
Ethics panels may be hindering HIV prevention efforts by requiring gay and bisexual adolescents to get parental consent before taking part in research, experts suggest.
Fear over coming out as gay or bisexual may prevent young men from asking their parents for permission to participate in HIV prevention studies. But leaving them out of such studies would likely result in huge gaps in scientific knowledge.
“Without the science, we won’t have service,” said Brian Mustanski, of the Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing at Northwestern University in Chicago. “Without the service we’re going to continue to see a growing epidemic in this population.”

Former President Trump is offered to back a primary challenger of New York Rep. John Katko, a fellow Republican who voted in January to impeach Trump.
Trump made the offer in a letter to the the Onondaga County Conservative Party. Katko was among 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after the Jan. 6 Capitol breach. He represents New York’s 24th Congressional district, based in Syracuse, in Onondaga County.
The letter was written on top of a news article by Syracuse.com titled "Onondaga County Conservative Party dumps John Katko over Trump impeachment vote," according to The Hill.
"A great move," Trump wrote over the article. "Katko will never win again. He is bad news. Please thank all, including those in Wayne and Cayuga – and now Onondaga."
"I won big in area. Will help with campaign – find a great candidate," Trump also wrote.
Bernie Ment, the Onondaga party chairman, said after receiving the letter that the party is waiting until redistricting is done in New York before naming a candidate to run against Katko, who in office since 2015.

Jet 2 and TUI have provided new updates after Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed the government's plan for relaxing lockdown measures in England.
His plans discussed crucial details on the reopening of schools and hospitality settings but also provided an update on international travel and when they plan to review the current ban.
He confirmed that non-essential international travel is banned until May 17 - at the earliest date - which is when a review will take place.
Travelling abroad from England has been banned due to the current national lockdown but the government extended the ban for all but essential reasons.
He said that he will "consider the resumption of international travel, which is vital for many businesses which have been hardest hit including retail, hospitality, tourism and aviation."
For the latest vaccine information in your area use the widget below:
Whilst speaking live from Downing Street, he confirmed the possibility of 'Covid Passports or Certificates' will be reviewed by ministers.
Speaking about the vaccine certificates or passports, he said: "On the question of what is the role of something like a certificate of vaccination within the domestic UK economy, there are clearly some quite complex issues, some ethical issues about discrimination and so on and government either compel or forbid the use of such certification.
"All that needs to be gone into so we're going to have a review on the whole issue.
"Before we come to it, at the moment, all the focus is on vaccinating everybody, all adults and that's got to be right as that's the non-discriminatory way to go but there may be a role for certification we just need to get it right."
Here are the latest updates with TUI and Jet2 after the key announcement.
All TUI holidays from England up to May 17 this year have been cancelled.
This is as a result of the government's announcement yesterday which has dealt most travel companies a blow as they've had to cancel even more holidays.
All customers affected will receive a full refund in the form of a credit note with an incentive or a full refund through cancelling.
The company issued the update yesterday evening saying: "In line with the UK Government’s latest lockdown announcement, all TUI holidays from England will not operate before 17 May.
"We will be contacting impacted customers directly, in departure date order, over the next two weeks to discuss their options, which will include amending to a later date with an incentive, receiving a refund credit note with an incentive or cancelling and receiving a full refund.

"We know our customers are looking forward to their holidays, so to offer continued flexibility and reassurance, we have extended our free changes policy to the end of June. Those due to travel between 17 May and the end of June can change their booking to a later date fee-free.
"We’d like to thank our customers for their continued patience and understanding."
Like most other travel companies, TUI have made some changed to ease the stress on its passengers.
The company has made changes for holidays departing in May and June free of charge so passengers have flexibility and control. This is up to 28 days before departure date.
Like TUI, Jet2 have released an update today, which has resulted in even more heartbreak for the passengers planning some time in the sun in the coming months.
The company has extended the suspension of flights and holidays after previously extending it earlier this month.
Flights and holidays now up to and including May 16, 2021, booked through Jet2 have been cancelled. It was previously extended to April 12.
A statement from Jet2 reads: "Following the UK government announcement that international travel will not return until 17th May 2021 at the earliest, we have taken the decision to extend the suspension of flights and holidays up to and including 16th May 2021.
"Where customers yet to travel are affected by any programme changes, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will automatically cancel their booking with a full refund.
"Customers will also receive a discount code so that they can rebook their much-needed flights and holidays.
"We have been widely praised for our industry-leading and prompt refunding of over £1bn to customers whose travel plans have been affected by programme changes during the pandemic, and we will continue this customer-first approach.
"We thank our valued customers for their patience and understanding and look forward to welcoming you all back on board with us soon."
However around a week ago, Jet2 confirmed that demand has been so high it has led to the company adding new flights to a number of Greek destinations this year.
There have been more than 74 new flights added to destinations in Greece for 2021 including to Zante, Rhodes, Crete and Kefalonia.
Jet2's summer sale now on
Jet2's summer sale is now on with a number of discounted flights available for both summer 2021 and in 2022.
A number of destinations are on offer from the airline, including Naples from £37, Ibiza from £41, and Alicante from £42.
Get the break you deserve - You can check out the latest flights and deals from Jet2 here with the airline currently offering 10% off all flights. T&Cs apply.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “There continues to be enormous pent-up demand from British holidaymakers, who want nothing more than to get away to the sunshine and enjoy their well-deserved holidays.
"As always, we listen to what customers want and react accordingly, so that we can provide them with the holiday choices that they want. Extending the summer season to Greece means we are doing exactly that; giving customers more opportunity to get away and enjoy a much-needed holiday.
"As a result of the assurance that customers get from our award-winning flights and ATOL protected package holidays, we will be continuing to respond to the demand so that when travel restarts, we can take customers from our rainy islands to their favourite holiday hotspots.”

Patient reviews for Dr. Jingbo Zhao
I was extremely disappointment by my experience with this doctor. Following my visit to the hospital due to right side chest wall elevation, sharp pain, shortness of breath/dizziness I was told to follow up with a pcp. I used Zocdoc to find a primary doctor and booked an appt based on the great reviews. Unfortunately, I found Dr. Zhao to be extremely impersonal and dismissive of my concerns. He made me feel like I was annoying him but I was just concerned about the drastic changes I was seeing in my health and wanted answers. After several follow ups it was apparent to me that I wasn’t going to get the help I needed from him and requested a referral for a new dr. The new Dr was compassionate and ordered the necessary tests I needed to address my symptoms and referred me to a pulmonologist. I had him complete my fml paperwork as I didn’t feel comfortable having Dr. Zhao complete them. I previously asked Dr. Zhao to give me a dr note for work and it was so vague and had multiple grammatical errors. I left Dr. Zhao’s office in tears frustrated that I wasn’t being taken seriously and that my symptoms were being brushed off. I was disappointed that he showed no genuine concern in helping me find a resolution. Dr. Zhao may need to hire a PA or another dr to handle the volume but it’s unacceptable to be dismissive when people’s heath is on the line. In the end I did find out something very serious is going on with my health. Thank God I asked for a referral and trusted my gut!
I am a new patient and Dr. Zhao made my visit very welcoming. He immediately comes off as a very sweet and caring person, as well as looking out for my best interests as a patient.
Very knowledgeable doctor. Pleasant to deal with
I think Dr. Zhao is a good doctor. He's professional, approachable, and spends time going over any questions or concerns. He didn't rush to get me in and out which I appreciate. The staff is friendly as well.
This doctor is very detailed and professional. I am delighted to say that this is the first doctor to test me for every single thing other doctors wont do unless you tell them to. Amazing ethics
Great service and very attentive
Dr. Zhao is fantastic! He's very kind and helpful with any questions. I highly recommend him.
Visit was good will definitely go back
Excellent doctor. Accuracy of treatment and diagnosis always! But the front desk didn't do the scheduling very well. Some patient including myself waited longer than expected. Hope Dr Zhao find someone better at scheduling soon! Definitely recommend Dr Zhao, as his accuracy of treatment and diagnosis have saved my family lots of money and time!
Dr. Zhao was very nice and professional.
Patient & listens to what you have to say
Accurate of treatment and diagnosis
Accuracy of treatment or diagnosis Very professional.
I love the office, the staff are gr8 people. Very courteous, understanding and on time. Bless them for their efforts and knowledge
He and his co worker are very nice.
Excelent doctor. Dr. Zhao was very patient and seemed to really try to diagnose the cause of my ailments. He seemed to look at the big picture, ask what was bothering me, perform a few tests and then take the time to thoroughly explain what the problem was. I would definetly be recomending Dr. Zhao to my friends and family.
Good doctor only problem English OK
I found my visit very quick and thorough. Dr. Zhou and his nurse were pleasant and ready to answer any questions. I trusted there assessment of my ailment and will be going back for further treatment.
Dr Zhao is a very kind and patient medical professional. He really took the time to get to know me and my medical history to understand and properly diagnose my symptoms. I've used him in several occasions. There's plenty of street parking and never any wait times to see him.
Dr. Zhao has just left for lunch with his intern and receptionist even though I had an appointment with him for the time he had left the office. I arrived on time. The other Dr. in the office had to call him back into the office and he still did not return for 20 minutes as he said he was in the middle of eating. Then, while we were having the appointment - he took a call from another patient, not even telling me what was wrong with me. An intern interrupted his call to ask if she could send my medicine to the pharmacy and he said he already had - he had me sitting there another 5 minutes for absolutely no reason. I should have been in and out as there were no other patients in the office but instead, the appointment was over an hour long. The isn't acceptable. He may be a good Dr., but he is extremely unprofessional. I will be changing my PCP.
I thought the doctor seemed really nice at first and he might be one of the rare ones that actually care about his patients. The first two times, he was really quick to get back to me about my results but then.. things quickly went sour. So I had to take another MRI and I called on that same day to see if I should wait for the results to be sent to him first before getting a referral to another specialist (since my friends said that it would be hard to book an appointment). They said the results aren't in yet and that I should wait first, and they'll call me back as soon as they get my results. So I trusted them (since I had no reason not to) and waited for more than a week. I decided to email the MRI place first since I truly believed the doctor would call me when they received my results. What I found out was, the MRI place actually faxed my results to my doctor on the same day (gave me precise time and date), the same day and BEFORE the time that I called them back. Okay, things happen, they might be busy or might have just forgotten, I could understand. So I decided to call them back the early next morning (Monday 10:30 am), and got the receptionist saying the doctor was currently with a patient and she would ask him to call me back when he is free. So I went on with my day and waited until I got out of my class in the late afternoon (4:30 pm) and still no call. So I called back since I was confused that the doctor could still be busy, just in case they might have forgotten, and got the receptionist said, the doctor was busy the whole day and didn't have time to call me, once he is free, she'll let him know. Okay, so I waited till night falls, and still no call. Nor the next day, nor the following 2 days.. (And I even checked this app and saw that the doctor actually had a lot of free slots..) So I decided to just make an appointment on Friday to see him myself about my results. I don't know if it's the doctor or the receptionist, but, I think I'm just really upset they dragged it out for so long and never thought that they are leaving their patients hanging, worrying their illnesses. Yeah, maybe I only have a very tiny brain tumor and I probably won't die from it right away, but at least have the decency to call me back or follow through with what you said you would do. I am actually a person and not just some trash that they can brush under the rug for the time being and think that I won't shows up again remembering what they did to me. Maybe they aren't really all that bad, but that episode just ruined my experience and my trust for the doctor..
worst Dr. i ever seen before.
This is an excellent doctor. He took his time and addressed all my concerns. I would definitely go back to him.
After 2 years of not seeking or needing medical attention it was finally about time I chose a primary care physician through my insurance plan. Booked one on ZooDoc and came in the very next day. Wait time was shorter than expected. Signed paperwork as usual and got right down to business. Doctor did not rush me out, he took his time helping me with my issues. Blood test was quick and painless which ensured me I was definitely being taken care of by a seasoned professional. The entire visit went smoothly and comfortably. I would highly recommend this doctor to anyone.
He is also trained in orthopedic surgery and that has been very helpful for me, who suffers a lot of joint pain. He is very knowledgeable and friendly, doesn't try to push medications or extraneous treatments. Highly recommend.
Doctor jingbo Zhao is always professional
First of all, who can not appreciate a doctors office that is open on a Sunday. He was very nice and informative, as I suspected I was lied to by another doctors office for financial gain three tests, he trumped everything they said and told me I was perfectly fine. At no point did I feel he was in it for money rather than my health. Awesome doctors office
He listens to your concerns and addresses them. He was able to explain problems to you thoroughly.
Friendly, patient, takes the time to help educate you on what he's treating you for. Warm yet professional, good bedside manner. I'm very very needlephobic and he was gentle and tried to calm me down and make me laugh which always helps. I also had the shortest wait in a Doctor's office I've ever had; I walked in the door and he saw me within 2 minutes!
I had 2 visits, the wait is an hour on each visit. Reception is not professional, calling us in doctor's room while there's still patient in there. The sanitation is also questionable. The cover for vision test is not cleaned each time, not mentioning the equipment inside.
Very professional and nice!
He was very kind and informative. He made sure to listen to what I had to say and answered all my questions and concerns. I assigned him as my primary after searching around and I will surely keep him as well.
Very careful, kind and experienced. Please choose him. My visits are quite comfortable
Very nice doctor. Very informative
Very good, very informative.
Dr. Zhao was extremely kind and put both my wife and I at ease. The weekend appointment was very convenient. Highly recommended.
Dr. Zhao is like a doctor who is related to you or is a family friend. It is a very relaxed atmosphere, mind you, and no feeling like you are going to be in trouble if you tell him you want a different or new medication for your problems! He is very knowledgeable and sweet! When he took my blood for a test, I am terrified of blood so he asked if I was in pain (I always make a face when I am near the viscinity of needles.) And he showed concern about such a small procedure! Even if it was to see if he made a mistake. (And his needle pricking skills are very painless by the way! Such a relief.) Usually some who take my blood stab me like I am some piece of meat. (Ouch!) But I definitely recommend Dr. Zhao and will be coming back again!
This Doctor was very thorough,knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He took time to answer your questions, you did not seem rushed. I would highly recommend.
Friendly, attentive doctor.
Today's appointment with Dr. Zhao was my first visit to a doctor in over two years. I'm glad I found him through this site because even though I only went for a simple check up and to get some blood tests done, in the short time I was with him, I felt very comfortable. My first impressions of him are friendly, attentive, caring, and knowledgeable. ALSO, he was accommodating with his schedule and his office even has 1-2 private parking spots for patients.
Definitely recommended. He is my new primary physician.
Very polite instantly made me feel like he's been my doctor for years.
Liked the doctor very much
Very good doctor, treats like family.
Dr. Zhao has excellent bedside manner, does not rush you and is highly personable on a professional and human level. He took his time addressing every concern that you bring. Convenient location near Northern.
I was in and out. I told the doctor what I was there for and he prescribed me something for my symptoms and gave thorough explanations throughout.

Asensio, welcome to our comprehensive guide on how much it costs to charge your Tesla. With the increasing demand for electric vehicles, Tesla has become a leading brand in the EV market. While Tesla cars are eco-friendly, one major concern among car owners is the cost of charging their vehicles. In this article, we will provide you with detailed information on the cost of charging your Tesla, factors that affect the cost, and tips to save money on charging. So, let’s dive right in.
Understanding Tesla Battery and Charging Technology
Before we get into the cost of charging your Tesla, it’s important to have a basic understanding of how Tesla’s battery and charging technology works. Tesla cars come with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery, which stores energy that powers the vehicle. Charging your Tesla involves replenishing this battery with electrical energy.
Tesla cars can be charged in three ways:
|Charging Method||Charging Time||Approximate Cost|
|Home Charging||6-12 hours||$10-20|
How Much Does it Cost to Charge a Tesla?
The Cost of Home Charging
Home charging is the most common and convenient way to charge your Tesla. The cost of charging your Tesla at home depends on several factors, including the cost of electricity in your area, the size of your battery, and the amount of charge required.
On average, it costs around $10-20 to charge your Tesla at home, depending on the above factors. This means that it costs around $0.05-$0.13 per mile.
The Cost of Supercharging
Supercharging is a fast and convenient way to charge your Tesla, especially when traveling long distances. However, it is more expensive than home charging. The cost of supercharging your Tesla depends on the state you are in and can range from $0.28 to $0.36 per kWh.
To provide a better estimate, let’s take the example of a Tesla Model S with a 100 kWh battery. If you charge your car from zero to 100% using a Supercharger, it would cost you around $28-$36, and you would get a range of around 370 miles.
The Cost of Destination Charging
Destination charging is when you charge your Tesla at a public charging station, such as a hotel or restaurant. Unlike Supercharging, destination charging is often free, but it may require you to pay for parking or a fee to use the charging station.
Factors That Affect the Cost of Charging Your Tesla
Several factors can affect the cost of charging your Tesla, including:
– Your driving habits: If you drive more often or drive aggressively, you will need to charge your Tesla more frequently, increasing the cost.
– Time of day: In some areas, the cost of electricity varies depending on the time of day, with peak hours being more expensive.
– Temperature: If you live in a colder climate, you may need to use more electricity to heat up your car, increasing the cost of charging.
Tips to Save Money on Charging Your Tesla
Here are some tips to help you save money on charging your Tesla:
– Charge at home during off-peak hours, when electricity prices are lower.
– Use regenerative braking to recharge your battery while driving, reducing the amount of charging you need.
– Consider using a third-party charging station, which may have lower fees than Tesla’s Superchargers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to charge a Tesla?
The time it takes to charge a Tesla depends on the charging method and the size of your battery. Home charging can take 6-12 hours, Supercharging can take 30-45 minutes, and destination charging varies.
How much does it cost to install a home charging station for a Tesla?
The cost of installing a home charging station for a Tesla varies depending on the station’s manufacturer and installation costs. On average, it ranges from $500-$1,500.
Can I charge my Tesla at a public charging station?
Yes, you can charge your Tesla at a public charging station, including Tesla’s Supercharger stations and third-party charging stations.
What is the lifespan of a Tesla battery?
Tesla batteries are designed to last for 300,000-500,000 miles or around 10-15 years, depending on usage and maintenance.
Can I charge my Tesla with solar panels?
Yes, you can charge your Tesla with solar panels by installing a solar panel system at your home or using a portable solar panel charger.
Can I charge my Tesla overnight?
Yes, you can charge your Tesla overnight using a home charging station.
How much does it cost to replace a Tesla battery?
The cost of replacing a Tesla battery depends on the model and the size of the battery. On average, it ranges from $5,000-$7,000.
Asensio, we hope this comprehensive guide has helped you understand the cost of charging your Tesla and the factors that affect it. By following the tips we provided, you can save money on charging and enjoy the benefits of owning an electric vehicle.
