While cold feet are often associated with reluctance to do something that makes you nervous, it can also be a symptom of an underlying health issue that may be related to poor blood circulation. The experienced team at North Atlanta Vascular Clinic, with offices in Suwanee/Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Cumming and Lawrenceville, Georgia, specializes in vascular health and recommends you come in for an examination if you’re experiencing the sensation of cold feet that doesn’t seem to be improving.

Cold feet are a symptom that causes your feet to feel cold to you, to the touch, or both. While it’s not uncommon for your feet to be cold from time to time, if your feet seem to always feel cold then it may be a sign of a medical condition that needs an evaluation from the experienced team at North Atlanta Vascular Clinic.
There are many reasons you may be experiencing cold feet, including issues that affect circulation to your legs or feet. Some of the most common causes of poor circulation that may lead to cold feet include:
Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
PAD occurs when the peripheral arteries in your legs become narrow due to a buildup of plaque. The arteries in the legs are most often affected, which may impair circulation to your feet, causing them to feel cold.
Also referred to as venous disease, vein disease refers to various issues that affect blood flow through your veins, including varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Like PAD, vein disease may affect circulation to your feet and affect temperature.
Although less common, Raynaud’s syndrome can also affect feet temperature. This rare condition causes narrowing of the blood vessels in your hands or feet when you’re cold or stressed.
If you have concerns about your cold feet, you should talk to your doctor about it. If circulation issues are suspected, your specialist at North Atlanta Vascular Clinic can conduct an examination to assess circulation. In addition to reviewing your symptoms and medical history, your specialist also conducts a physical exam and may recommend a venous ultrasound to further evaluate blood circulation.
Treatment for your cold feet depends on the underlying cause. For circulation issues, your specialist may recommend:
Your specialist may also recommend specific procedures, such as angioplasty for PAD or sclerotherapy for varicose veins, to improve blood circulation to your feet to reduce the cold sensation.
Cold feet may be a symptom of an underlying circulation issue. For a comprehensive examination, call North Atlanta Vascular Clinic today or request an appointment online.

As we continue our 50th Anniversary celebration, we turn our attention this week to Public Health. COVID-19 has given most of us a fresh appreciation for our healthcare professionals. We look at how far public health in Mississippi has evolved by dipping into this interview from 1975 when Ms. Edith Reece ended her thirty-five-year career as a public health nurse by sitting down to record her oral history.
1975 – Edith Reece of Woodville became a public health nurse in 1940. In this episode, she recalls the challenges of working for rural county health departments in those early days. At that time, sexually transmitted diseases were common and there were no effective treatments. Reece explains that public health nurses were required by law to report and roundup members of the community who refused treatment for their STDs. She explains that spinal taps were often necessary for diagnosis of syphilis and babies often contracted congenital syphilis from their parents.
In 1942. Reece volunteered to become an Army Nurse and was sent to England. She describes caring for wounded soldiers and how she put on a brave face for her patients. After serving as an army nurse, Edith Reece returned to her public health job in Mississippi. She remembers convincing county officials to replace the dilapidated health department in Woodville.
Edith Reece retired from the Mississippi Department of Health in 1975. She discusses the changes in public health she witnessed during her thirty-five-year career as a nurse.

By Chris Mbunwe
During his visit to the Northwest regional capital Bamenda, PM Chief Dr Dion Ngute revealed that the government has employed the use of several means to taw the Anglophone crisis. In this light, he revealed that contrary to claims that the government has refused to talk to separatist fighters, they have been in constant talks with the various leaders, directly and indirectly. He however regretted that that, unlike the government, Separatists have refused to make any compromise, as they are bent only on the independence option.
The revelation was made on the side-lines of the second lap of Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute’s peace mission to Bamenda, August 5, and during an audience granted the journalists at Ayaba hotel. In response to numerous worries and questions from journalists living and working in Bamenda, on why Government could not just go ahead and dialogue with Separatist leaders, rather than undertaking same consultative meetings in the Regions, Felix Mbayu, Rapporteur General of the 2019 MND and Secretary to the Resolutions Follow-up Committee, was categorical that Government has, since, been doing all in its power to get all movement leaders to the dialogue table and, in the process, making lots of concessions, but Separatist leaders remain intransigent on the position of independence.
The Prime Minister’s visit to follow-up implementation of the Resolutions of the Major National Dialogue gave him an opportunity to give an update about Bamenda-Babadjou Road and the ring around Bamenda city, which he said is beginning in the weeks ahead with the World Bank finally giving its clearance.
The PM reminded journalists that, as a constitutional law professor, believes that there is room for improvement on the Special Status for Anglophones. He said it is not appropriate for Cameroonians to judge the merits of the Special Status just when it is just being put in place. He said it is only from next year that one can judge the Special Status when the regional houses fully go operational.
PM Challenges Priests To Emulate Late Cardinal Tumi
PM Dion Ngute thanked priests for praying for peace to return to war-ravaged Regions but urged them to be like Christian Cardinal Tumi, who influenced some of the boys in the bushes to drop their arms.
Thanking the mammoth crowd that turned out at Commercial Avenue Bamenda to listen to him, he said, in addition to the road project from Babadjou to Bamenda and major streets, “… let me add the Bamenda Municipal Stadium where work stopped, will resume. Before I visit Bamenda [again], all these projects must have been completed. Be assured.”
Population Must Defeat Fear
He told Bamenda population and Northwest in general that the road and stadium development projects cannot be achieved without peace.
He said ghost towns, killings and kidnappings for ransom must stop, and “it is you to conquer fear. Say ‘enough is enough.”
The Regional Council President of the Northwest, Prof. Fru Angwafor, and Asheri Kilo of Basic Education drilled the population on what the region stands to benefit from their sectors. Several dance groups braved it to Commercial Avenue to welcome the PM.
Preaching Peace Against Separatist Fighters Gunshots
The first day of PM Dion Ngute’s working visit to the Northwest was almost marred by sporadic gunshots. At Matazem in Santa, a gateway into the Northwest, Separatist fighters fired shots from nearby hills and the PM’s speech was disrupted as Governor Lele and security officials scampered with him into his car and drove off to the Governor’s Office and down Ayaba Hotel where he started consultative talks with Administrative officials, military command, parliamentarians and press.
“I am here in pursuit of peace. I have not come to insult anyone. I am here as you’re aware to talk on the issue of National Major Dialogue held two years ago with greater achievements, so far, which some people have refused to see. Not everyone can be OK with these enormous achievements.
“President Paul Biya despatched me and my team to the two Regions to let us understand these benefits accruing from the Major National Dialogue, for example, the Anglophone Subsystem of Education, as someone told me, has achieved more than what they asked for. The same goes with the common law now integrated into ENAM, recruitment of young Anglophone lawyers in the ENAM training system.”
He said even the grievances relating to poor treatment and service delivery in public services has been addressed. The population, he said, will feel the greater impact of the Regional Council, as it will be factored in next year’s National Budget. Other achievements relating to the Special Status, which he also enumerated included the recent appointment of Public Independent Conciliators for Northwest and Southwest; the House of Chiefs, the General Code on Regional and the Local Authorities giving powers to Regional Assemblies.
The Prime Minister appealed to the population: “… with all these achievements, I am begging, let’s stop this senseless war, let’s stop killing ourselves, we have blocked development for long, great schools that we used to have here are gone, let’s us re-establish our dignity. The army you find around is for your protection,” the PM said.
Minister Felix Mbayu, who was the Rapporteur of the MND, explained what the Special Status is bringing and will continue to bring if peace is established.
“We can not have everything in a day. We should stop manipulating our population with lies. Truth must not be slaughtered on the altar of lies. This is our Region, the development of this Region is on our shoulders. Let us continue to call on our brothers in bushes to lay down their arms and come over to Disarmament and Rehabilitation Centres. The government is doing a lot and will do more.” Minister Mbayu said.
Others who spoke, including the Mayor to the Bamenda City Council, Paul Achobong, were all praises to the Prime Minister for coming to follow up resolutions of the MND and explain further for the understanding of all.
General Scatter, 13 Amba Fighters Drop Arms
At Bamenda Commercial Avenue on Wednesday, a man who called himself General Scatter and 13 other boys from the bushes of Nkor in Noni, Bui Division, were presented to the PM and population as having dropped their guns.

“Kojuigatsus” by Stephen Bell (3)
Stephen Bell (M.Mus, B.Mus) is an operatic tenor currently singing as a full time small roles and chorus member with the Canadian Opera Company. In November 2011, he approached the Estonian consulate in Toronto to apply for his Estonian (EU) citizenship.
Although born here in Canada (Vancouver BC 1982), he was interested in maintaining his mother’s Estonian/Canadian heritage. His grandmother, Helmi Lindal, was born in Haapsalu in 1919, and lived in Estonia for 25 years before immigrating to the UK and eventually Canada. He was happy to discover that through his grandmother’s documentation, he was able to apply for his citizenship. It was during this process that he met Ellen Leivat (Estonia Consulate Office Toronto) who asked if he had met Charles Kipper and Avo Kittask - two prominent members of the Canadian Estonian musical scene.
Upon meeting Charles and Avo, he quickly developed a professional rapport and discussed the idea of creating a recording of Estonian art songs for tenor voice (Stephen Bell) accompanied by Piano (Charles Kipper). It was through Charles that he discovered the music of composers such as M.Saar, P. Tammeveski, J. Aavik, and T. Vettik. The music and compositional style of these composers fit his voice well, and Charles and he were both surprised when Avo showed them a recording of Naan Põld. Mr. Põld had recorded a CD of “Eesti soololaule” in 1964 in Hamburg on the Forte Record Label. This recording was re-mastered by Juri Kruus in 1996. Surprisingly Mr. Põld’s voice timbre is ironically similar to Bell’s. Truly, Estonian voice qualities are similar especially for the tenor voice type. 8 of the 13 tracks of “Kojuigatsus” were not recorded for tenor voice. Both Charles and Stephen understand how important this is too create and maintain a legacy of Eesti soololaule, or art songs, for the tenor voice.
They worked steadily on the 13 separate pieces. Since Stephen’s Estonian language is in its rudimentary stages of development, he’s worked hard to practice the pronunciation and vocal diction intricacies of the language. It is interesting how quickly one’s ear picks up the inflection of the language especially with regards to peculiarities of the Estonian island of Saaremaa’s dialect. His grandmother and mother also spoke with this accent since her family originated on the island. Charles Kipper also shares heritage from Saaremaa, making it ironic that both have a similarity in the heritage of language and development of his Estonian.
The title track “kojuigatsus” was recently showcased at the Eesti Vabariigi 95 Banquet in February 2013 at the Estonian House in Toronto Canada, to dignitaries and guests from all over Europe, where it was met with great reception. The album will be released April 1, 2013 on both iTunes as well as hard copy download from www.stephenbell.ca.
The track above is “Ennemuiste”, the second track of this album by M.Saar and text by L. Gross. Below is the translation and lyrics of the song.
Ennemuiste paistis hele päike,
Hõbe helgi säras vete pind.
Ennemuiste õitsesid kõik õied,
Haljas metsas laululind.
Ennemuiste olin sulle armas,
Ennemuiste armastasin, armastasin sind.
Before the sun shone brightly
The silver flare shone on the water.
Before all the flowers bloomed,
In the green forest the songbird.
Before, I was dear to you,
Before I loved, I loved you.

Nowadays, whitening teeth has become a bigger factor. This is obvious because one of the first things people notice in other people is their smile. White and bright smiles always go a long way in creating a striking first look.
It is a sure fact that one thing that will help you look better is your white teeth. This will help you appear more attractive and confident. This is one reason why most men and women choose Scaling & Polishing in Singapore and also for Wisdom Tooth Surgery.
Although teeth whitening is popular, not many people are aware of it. Teeth whitening is a procedure that helps remove discoloration and stains on your teeth. It uses a whitening process that removes stains and makes teeth look whiter.
If the tooth is badly stained, a simple procedure that involves exfoliating and polishing the tooth by the dentist will help significantly improve the appearance of the tooth. Many dental procedures offer a combination of an instant teeth whitening process.
This teeth whitening procedure is a professional teeth whitening tool that can be used at home. This home fixture also includes a special compartment. Another option for teeth whitening is teeth whitening during surgery.
Both procedures for whiter teeth are based on a whitening process that includes a peroxide-based process. The compound can get stronger and stronger by using a higher amount of peroxide. In this way, the bleaching compound is more effective when large amounts of peroxide are used.


Stunning aerial images capture extent of floods at Cambs racecourse

Flooding has hit one part of Cambridgeshire once again as racing was cancelled for the second time in a month.
Aerial images have captured the extent of the deluge at Huntingdon Racecourse after the Alconbury Brook, which runs alongside the racecourse, burst its banks.
Some parts of the course were severely affected as officials were forced to abandon racing, just two weeks since they last cancelled due to flooding.
The government’s flood information website said that a flood alert for Alconbury Brook and Ellington Brook has been removed.
“We continue to monitor the situation. Please plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded,” the website said.

Huntingdon Racecourse said a precautionary inspection would be carried out ahead of their scheduled racing fixture on January 29, before calling the event off.
In a tweet, they said: “The Alconbury Brook has burst its banks and areas of both the track and racecourse facilities have flooded with no possibility of improvement before Friday's fixture.”

Species: Leopard | Location: Lewa Wildlife Reserve, Kenya
On our early morning drive, our guide/driver (Godfrey) heard monkey calls. As we were tracking the calls down, a leopard streaked across the road into a wooded marsh. After an adrenaline filled search, our guide spotted the leopard on top of the tree, presumably with its kill, and with whom we got to spend 30-40 minutes of tranquil time in the woods observing this beautiful animal.

The Department of the Air Force announced today its proposal to base 59 F‑35 aircraft at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. This proposal is contingent upon the result of a draft supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS), which should be released in the early fall 2010, and includes the preferred alternative (Alt. 1A) of basing the 59 F‑35 aircraft at Eglin Air Force Base main base. Flight operations will also be conducted at Duke and Choctaw Fields.
This decision, approved by the secretary and chief of staff of the Air Force, supports the recommendation of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission to establish the F‑35 Initial Joint Training Center at Eglin.
“The Air Force has completed its initial analysis of a full range of alternatives and determined that basing 59 F‑35s at Eglin main base is the preferred alternative,” said Kathleen Ferguson, Air Force deputy assistant secretary for installations.
“This is not a final basing decision; it is the alternative we believe will fulfill our mission responsibilities while considering economic, environmental, and technical factors. The community will be invited to comment on the alternatives presented in the SEIS.”
The record of decision is anticipated to be announced following the completion of the final SEIS.

You probably all know by now that the Outer Banks of North Carolina is one of my favorite places. It is what I long for when I need rest and relaxation. It is in my blood and has been sine my first visit. So I love when I find books based in the Outer Banks. Which makes my current “car reads” perfect. A series of books based in the Outer Banks. And fitting that I am reading them during the summer. Steamy weather and even steamier stories. There are five total so that should cover most of the summer!
Well I am starting the last book in the Dare Island Series today. It is bittersweet, I like moving on to a new series but I will miss the characters from this series. That is the best part about series the characters start to feel like family/friends. The other down side about finishing this series is no more Outer Banks. I loved feeling like I was back in the Outer Banks while reading these. But I have tons of options at home on which direction to head next. I am not lacking on book choices that is for sure.
I have been on a role as of late. I caught up on the Morgan’s Run Series and started a new series, Dare Island. I am two books in on that and can’t wait to read the other three and a half. But I am taking a little detour right now so I can read the next book becoming a Passionflix movie.
The kids keep us hoping that’s for sure. But I love them to pieces. The two year old is really becoming her own person. And a bag lady just like her auntie. The three year old will be four soon and he is becoming a little man. I truly think I am one of his favorite people and that melts my heart. These two little ones are my Disney Nerds. They love watching Disney Sing Along Songs in the car and watching YouTube videos of Disney World rides at home. The eight year old well she is eight going on eighteen (so she things). Boy does she have mood swings. She hates everybody and she’s not afraid to tell you either.
No Book Purchases September/October
Well that was a complete bust. I did pretty good in September but feel off the wagon in October. Hopefully November and December will be better.
Now that my much anticipated Outer Banks trip is over I am starting to have Disney withdraws. Hopefully a February/March trip is in the plans.
Life in General
My best friend from college moved further down in Kentucky this summer so now my two closest girlfriends (that are the same age) do not live close to me. I think I need to make some much overdue changes to my life. I will work on them. Still waiting for Mr Right to sweep me off my feet.
Last week was my Outer Banks vacation. We got back Sunday and by Monday I was ready to go back. Well actually, I didn’t want it to end to begin with, so I guess it was more like my desire to stay had increased by Monday. I have never needed a vacation as much as I did last week. It was so good to relax and enjoy the salt air, read as I was watching the tides, and spend time with my aunt. Since my grandma passed away a few years ago, she moved about 45 minutes to an hour away, and all the hustle and bustle of everyday means I don’t see her as much as I used to. So it was good to have a week to “catch up”. We took a sunset dolphin cruise and a wild horse tour. Plus we ate dinner together every night and breakfast together almost every morning. The house we rented was amazing. What more could we have asked for? It was just what this Southern Belle needed.
I started with an Outer Banks sunset so why not end with an Outer Banks Sunrise. I just love the colors in the sky. This was right from the deck of the house we were staying in back in 2014. I loved waking up each morning and watching the sun rise.
I was actually going to post a photo not from the Outer Banks today but this popped up in my memories so I thought why not. In all our trips to the Outer Banks this was the only time we saw the wild horses on the beach. We have seen the wild horses every time but usually back among the houses in the 4 wheel drive area. The horse tour is my favorite part of the whole trip.


§ 88. Captain R. TERRELL
asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture whether he is aware that a large area of good arable land is to-day in the hands of land speculators and un tenanted, with the result that little or no effort is being made to cultivate it or sow it with spring corn; whether he will state whether the Ministry, through the county 2072 agricultural committees, is taking any steps to see that such land is properly dealt with; whether he is aware that speculation in agricultural land is causing a reduction in the production of foodstuffs, especially where the speculators are leaving the land without tenants; and whether it is intended to insert a Clause in the forthcoming Agricultural Bill which will have for its object the prevention of such speculation?
Sir A. BOSCAWEN
The Ministry is aware that a good deal of land speculation is now going on and that, as a result, some land is temporarily without tenants. The Agricultural Executive Committees, however, are fully alive to the situation, and in many cases are serving Cultivation Orders on the owners where there is sufficient evidence that they can be regarded as the occupiers for the purpose of D.O.R.A. 2M. The assumption contained in the third part of the hon. Member's question is no doubt correct in isolated cases, but there are no statistics available on the subject. With regard to the last part of the question, it is hoped that the provisions of the Agricultural Bill will discourage the evil to which the hon. Member alludes.
§ Captain TERRELL
Can the right hon. Gentleman inform the House how many acres are affected by this land speculation?

Climate change is internationally recognised as the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced. Estuary regions such as the Humber are most at risk from the growing threat of storm surges and tidal flooding.
One of the biggest contributors to climate change is carbon emissions. The energy intensive nature of the industries we have in the Humber means the region is the largest carbon-emitting cluster in the UK.
What if we could put that
carbon to good use?
The Humber holds the key to solving climate change and is the perfect place to show the world how to make a high carbon to low carbon transition. We’ll lead the way in demonstrating how to protect jobs in the traditional high carbon industries whilst creating new opportunities in the renewables sector, building on the work that’s already happening in the estuary.
Humber already produces up to 25% of the UK's energy.
Home to the world's largest wind farm, powering 1m homes.
Local businesses converting to biomass and other renewable sources for power generation.
Opening soon in the region: world's largest plant to recover energy from solid waste fuels using advanced gasification technology.
Developing carbon capture and conversion into useful products.
localised creation of hydrogen using renewable sources.
Importance of the Humber Estuary
Estuaries are natural corridors of trade and the Humber has become a magnet for investment from large scale global manufacturers. Estuaries such as the Humber are the most at risk from the challenges presented by climate change. As well as their high carbon output, estuaries will be the first to suffer from devastating effects of global warming.
It’s vital that we protect the industries that we have here against the growing threat of tidal surges from increased storms and rising sea levels. It’s not just the local economy that relies on the energy produced in the estuary – it’s most of the UK too.
- 60% of the world's population live close to an estuary, port or water.
- The Humber region is the second most flood-prone area in the UK.
There's a lot worth protecting...

All in Ayrshire: an early Marshall I can’t trace any further than his birth, a Haddoiw who died in infancy, a Haddow descendent who lived in Ardrossan, and a Strachan descendent who lost his mother on hour after he was born and migrated to Canada as a young adult.
20 February 1759
My gggg uncle Frances Marshall was baptised at Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, son of Alexander Marshall and Agnes Gibson. They are several marriages of a Frances Marshall in Ayrshire at about the right time, but there’s nothing to link any of them with Frances born in 1759.
20 February 1830
Robert Haddow was baptised at Stevenston, Ayrshire, son of John Haddow and Amelia Haddow. He died in infancy and the Stevenston OPR has his burial in December 1830.

Fans, also called air circulators, provide a quick cooling solution in a variety of situations. Most of us are familiar with the openings. But also new technologies and additional features have made it possible for fans, cooling options and comfort to more people, and they are a more economical choice than air conditioning for lighter cooling tasks. Before buying a blower or an air pump, ask yourself these questions to find the right fan for your needs.Vornado Timer Circulating Tower Silver
Vornado Timer Circulating Tower Silver
Portable fans move air in a room to create a cool breeze. Some types of fans are small enough to fit a desk. Other types are so large that they occupy the bottom of a window. Any type of fan recommended specific applications. The buyer’s recommendations of the manufacturer following to ensure that the portable fan works in accordance with other household refrigerators.Vornado Timer Duo Circulating, Tower 14 In. 4 Speed Black, Silver
With rising temperature, effective house fan achieves an easy way to keep your electricity bill cool without overheating. The fans will usually cost hundreds a day to run, and you can instead run the air conditioning throughout the house from one room to another.
There are several types of fans, so you choose your room fits and has the best. A powerful floor fan is usually more effective to move so much air in larger rooms, but everyone in order to save space may need to see a tower fan with a smaller footprint. Office and office fans will have plenty of energy in a room or a small office while the window boxes and fans can help inject fresh air brightness out there for a cool night. Remember to consider how much noise you can tolerate. All fans produce white noise, but you will not sing to have to bear grinding or clunking.
Here you will find our selection for the best fans, whatever your budget or lifestyle.
Calculate the height of the ceiling fan according to the workpiece size
Now that you know how to size ceiling ventilator, visit our Ceiling Fan Size Chart below to understand how a ceiling fan should be based on room size, and how to choose the right ceiling fan size for your space. To determine the size of the room, multiply the length of the space in the feet by the width of the space in the feet. The sum that you get from this calculation is the size of the rooms in square meters. For example, if your room is 8, of 8 ', the square area is 64 square meters.
The amount of air that a ceiling fan can move per minute is measured in cubic feet per minute or CFM. This measure provides a more accurate representation of the amount of space that a device can be efficiently cooled. This number should be compared to the total cubic volume of the room in order to decide which fan will work best for each room. The product information of the airflow instructions provide to properly calculate the cubic images of your room.
Know Before You Go
Where do you see the fan use? The size and type of fan you choose depends on the size of the space you need to cool down. Large ground fans work best in large rooms, while a table fan can cool a work cabin. Fans of the tower can cool a full size space and fit into a tight space. Also consider how the fan noise will affect your business. In a family room, you need a quieter fan that does not drown the TV. In a room, a slightly stronger fan may be desirable because it absorbs other noises.
Will you use the fan in different rooms? If you plan to move the respirator from one room to another, it should be easy to increase. You should also check the length of the cable to make sure you always find an output. Some small fans can be folded in a suitcase and packed.
He has children? If this is the case, make sure that the fan blades are protected against the tiny fingers. You can choose a wingless fan or blower of the tower that has a fine grille instead of a grill. Some fans do not have grilles because they have soft sheets of fabric or rubber, but that does not prevent them from jamming in the hair or eyes of a child who decides to face his fan.
Do you have pets? To prevent Fluffy or Fido meets the fan, choose one with a stable base. This is especially important for the lovers of the table and base. If you are a fan keep them fresh especially pets, avoid loud fans that could avoid animals. Confirm that the fan can be returned in case it would produce a sound from your listening area, but it bothers your pet.
Is it for day or night? At night, a window fan can be a good choice because it brings the coolest air from the outside. This means that it is actually the ambient temperature that can help, rather than simply a personal cooling system. But it will not help during the day when the outside temperatures are warm.
Who is more important: airflow or noise level? In general, there is a trade-off between the two: More like a fan moves, the more noise produce. However, some fans are particularly noisy or quiet for their air movement possibilities. If possible, try the fan in the store so that you can personally hear and feel.
Fan Features to Look For
While you do not necessarily need all these features, here are nine that you should keep an eye on when shopping.
CFM: Standing for "CFM", this number gives you an estimate of the amount of air blowers circulating (though not always indicated on the package). The higher CFM means more air movement, which means a more powerful product.
Noise: As a fan can have a significant impact on how much you enjoy. You do not want to buy a camera so loud that it keeps you falling asleep, or when you start the TV. Unfortunately, most fans do not realize how strong they are (usually measured in decibels) so it is best to check options in a store to hear how they work.
Safety: Is the fan slightly reversed? Can the children reach and hurt the leaves? If you have children or pets in the house, you will want to buy something that will not be dangerous.
Cleaning: is it easy to clean? You want to regularly clean the fan blowing dust and dirt in the room. In some fans, go to the leaves and cleaning is easy, while others make this difficult process.
Size: The fan is it strong enough to circulate air in space, where you plan to put it? Is that going in your room? You do not want to be big or too small fan.
Vibration: Many fans have a vibration mode that is ideal for larger rooms with several people to cool off. For a desktop fan, this is not very important. But if you have a tower in your living room, the swinging everyone will help to feel the breeze.
Adjustable: can you adjust the height, tilt and other parameters just to show the fans where you want it? Do you have multiple performance levels? How many decisions you need, even if you want enough customization to create your perfect break.
Remote control: many fans – also ceiling fans – provides remote controls. Search if this is a feature that you are using, but at least expect a slight increase in the price of devices with this advantage.
You can not deny that the air conditioning is the best way to cool your space. But this is not the energy efficient. With a tower fan, you can reduce the temperature in your room. From cheap tower fans can push warm air in a room. So you should not be angry and sweating.
In addition, energy-efficient, a tower fan is much quieter when the electric fans operate. This household silent fans are designed to not disturb others in their sleep or their conversations.
On the other hand, you can save a lot of space at home when buying a tower fan. Most tour fans have a sleek and compact design. These devices also have a modern look and can improve the environment in your home or office.
When is the best tower fan, Dyson is definitely the best. However, you need to force a lot of money to get a fan of Dyson Tower. If budget is a concern, you can settle for other, less expensive brands like Honeywell, Holmes and Sevilla.
Regardless of which brand you choose, there is only one particular thing: adding a tower fan in your home or office, you can make your room more comfortable, especially in summer without paying much for your energy calculations.

Presidential Election Reform: A Current National Imperative
29 Pages Posted: 6 Jan 2022
Date Written: 2022
This brief paper suggests several important practical reforms in how we choose our President and Vice President. It first identifies problems with the Electoral College process, and proposes solutions that would not require a constitutional amendment. The paper also discusses how the long-forgotten provisions of Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment authorize reduction in the electoral votes from states whose legislatures deprive or abridge the right of the people to vote for their presidential electors. By exploring the history and language of Section 2, this paper demonstrates that it was ratified with the specific purpose of preventing state legislatures from usurping the popular Electoral College vote in their states. The paper maintains that Congress has the authority to enact several important presidential election reforms, and that it is our duty to ensure that the people’s voice is not taken away in the presidential election process.

Thorntons advises Carbon Capture Scotland on seven-figure investment
Thorntons has supported Dumfries and Galloway-based Carbon Capture Scotland in securing a seven-figure sum investment from Steyn Group to facilitate further growth.
Carbon Capture Scotland is the UK’s leading and most active net-zero carbon capture asset specialist, and already operates one of the UK’s largest dry ice manufacturing sites. It now has ambitions to develop the world’s largest carbon capture plant by 2024, which the latest funding round supports.
Carbon Capture Scotland uses specialist technology to capture biogenic CO2 emissions, meaning CO2 that is captured through the growth of plants and other biomass. These emissions can be processed and either used to create sustainable products or stored permanently underground.
The process removes CO2 emissions on the atmosphere and has potential to reverse the effects of global warming. Ultimately, the work of Carbon Capture Scotland supports a range of businesses and positively contributes towards Scotland’s ambitious targets of net zero emissions before 2045, and the UK’s by 2050.
The business, run by co-founders and brothers Richard Nimmons and Ed Nimmons, operated as Dry Ice Scotland in 2012 before rebranding the operation to Carbon Capture Scotland in 2022.
Richard Nimmons said: “We are leading the way in commercialising proven and scalable CO2 utilisation technologies. Ultimately, we put CO2 to use in a way that benefits wider economic growth and society whether that be for food and beverage manufacturing or removing it to reduce its presence in the atmosphere.
“This latest funding will be instrumental in enabling us to achieve our goal to be the global leader in carbon capture, which is a huge coup for Scotland.”
The deal was managed by Alistair Lang and Columban Young-Smith from Thorntons’ ventures and innovations team, which works with early stage and high growth companies from its offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, St Andrews and Dundee.
Mr Lang, a partner at Thorntons, said: “Carbon Capture is a fascinating and rapidly expanding market and the work of Richard and his brother Ed in this sector is impressive. We’ve worked with their business supporting on property matters as well as new carbon capture contracts and agreements.
“This funding has opened even more doors for growth and we’re proud to have played a role in supporting such an ambitious and successful Scottish business.”

Wonder Vitamin Slashes Heart Risk 70%
Dear Turapür Today Reader,
Talk to your typical doctor about reducing your heart attack risk and you’ll feel like you’re back in the Old West.
Because he’ll whip out that prescription pad faster than Billy the Kid drawing a six-shooter.
And he’ll tell you all about the wonders of cholesterol-lowering statins… you know, those same drugs that have been linked to everything from diabetes to cataracts.
Because, of course, dangerous statins are the only answer the mainstream has.
But here’s the good news — there’s an easy way to slash your heart risk by a whopping 70%.
And all you have to do is get more of a common vitamin.
I’m talking about vitamin C. And for years you’ve heard how important it is for your immune system.
Now it looks like it can help shield you from deadly heart problems like heart attack, stroke, aneurysm and heart failure.
In a recent study, researchers from the University of Navarra in Spain looked at the vitamin C consumption of over 13,000 participants.
At the end of the 11-year study, they found that folks who had the highest vitamin C intakes were at a 70% lower risk of dying from heart problems!
Experts aren’t exactly clear as to why vitamin C is so beneficial for your heart but it’s likely due its anti-inflammatory effects.
Luckily, getting more vitamin C in your diet couldn’t be easier.
All you have to do is load up on brightly colored fruits and veggies like citrus, peppers, kale, berries and guavas.
If you’re unsure if you’re getting enough vitamin C in your diet, you can always take a supplement. These are easily found at your local grocery store or pharmacy.

Over 200,000 people turned up on the National Mall for Saturday's Rally, but the sanity and/or fear didn't stop there. Thousands of people gathered together for satellite rallies in their hometowns and left the evidence all over the Internet.
It was a rainy day, but that didn't stop the residents of Seattle from standing up for sanity. According to organizers, roughly 6,000 people — including Representative Jim McDermott — convened at Westlake Park to speak, carry signs and watch the Rally on television.
The second major local rally, The Denver Committee to Restore Sanity and/or Fear drew hundreds of people and raised over $2,000 for DonorsChoose.
In Deutschland, local host Eva Adams threw what appears to be a Medium-Size Dinner Party to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.

About 200 people (100 sets of twins?) came out to salute sanity and/or fear in the sister cities.
Even in Sarah Palin's hometown, the clarion call of sanity and/or fear persuaded 325 people to get up and slog it over to the local middle school at 8am. Not bad for Small Town, USAtm.

Valentine’s Day is approaching and heart-shaped items are everywhere at present. Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day or not, you can’t ignore the importance of the heart as a design shape and most of us would have used it at some point in our projects.
I recently came across a sweet little pattern on the internet that I am currently making. Designed by Cheryl Fall, it is available to freely download. http://embroidery.about.com/od/Embroidery-Patterns-Projects/ss/Paisley-Hearts-3-Piece-Pattern-Set.htm#step-heading
You are only limited by your imagination here. These designs would also look terrific made with wool felt using Aurifil Lana (wool/acrylic) thread.
I tried a number of different products to transfer the design, but had trouble seeing them. I required a mark I could clearly see, yet one which I could successfully remove at the end of the stitching. I remembered a friend telling me about the “Frixion” pens, so I gave this a go and found it worked well. This is a product by Pilot, available in a range of colours and nib sizes. Heat removes the marks, so ironing will take the marking out. If you don’t want to flatten your work with the iron, just hovering over it would probably work. I did not try using warm- hot water. Marks can apparently reappear at below freezing point (I don’t plan to be in such an environment!) , so if you accidentally remove marks before you are ready, I imagine a short while in the freezer will restore them! As with any marking item, use with discretion. This tool worked brilliantly for my purpose here, but I would probably be loath to use it on heirloom items, because I don’t know its long-term effects.
I have a little way to go before I am finished, but the beauty of these small items is that they are easily achievable and I might even complete these in time for Valentine’s Day (this year!)
Maybe a little stitching before dinner….?

Schools are being urged to boost pupils’ learning by taking advantage of a vast 100-acre classroom in Hartlepool.
Summerhill Country Park is accredited as a Forest School, a concept that was originally developed for pre-school children in Scandinavia.
Studies there have shown that children attending Forest School subsequently start school with strong social and communication skills and generally have high self-esteem and confidence in their own abilities.
The Summerhill Forest School offers nursery, reception and primary pupils chance to take part in outdoor sessions lasting two hours.
A range of topics can be covered during sessions, including literacy, numeracy, shapes, spaces, measures, the world of plants and animals, exploring materials and media, imagination and creativity.
Sessions are led by a team of Forest School practitioners and assistants who have all received specialist training.
Summerhill Country Park was once a network of eight rather featureless farmers’ fields, but over the years it has been transformed into an important Local Nature Reserve that is now home to a diverse range of plants and animals.
Tens of thousands of trees have been planted to create new woodlands alongside meadows and wetlands.
The Forest School is also looking to make contact with local families via the weekend Woodlanders group and the “Woodland Tots” story book trail.
For more information about Summerhill Forest School, including session times and prices, call (01429) 284584.
Outreach Officer John Swallow said: “The 100-acre site offers children a chance to take part in a range of activities that they might otherwise never experience in their early lives.
“As well as providing a standard set of Forest School sessions, we can also tailor sessions to groups’ particular needs.”

Some pay a steeper price
In explaining why college tuition has become so expensive, many experts are quick to point to drastic state funding cuts. Adjusted for inflation, overall state funding for public two- and four-year colleges dropped a staggering $6.6 billion between 2008 and 2018, according to a report from The Center on Budget and Public Policies.
Between 2020 to 2021 alone, state funding for higher education dropped 6% across 37 states, says the National Education Association (NEA).
With fewer funds available, colleges have two choices to make it work: either scale back on amenities and programs or raise tuition.
And instead of scaling back, these colleges chose to scale up. The median flagship received more than double the revenue from undergraduate and graduate tuition and fees compared to 20 years ago — representing a whopping 64% price hike for the average student.
The trouble, the Journal points out, is cutting back on amenities and programs presents another problem: their institutions are suddenly less attractive to wealthier students. And in order to keep drawing from that pool, many colleges are opting to spend billions of dollars on construction projects, leaving them in debt and with no other way to pay it off than to reduce costs or raise fees.
For every dollar lost in state funding over the last two decades, the median flagship college upped tuition and fee revenue by nearly $2.40, which more than covered the cuts, says the Journal.
“Flagship schools are competing for talented students and families that can pay the sticker price,” Catharine Hill, an economist at education nonprofit organization Ithaka S&R and the former president of New York’s Vassar College, recently told CNN.

Colleges are competing to attract wealthy students
Take the University of Oklahoma, for example. The school borrowed hundreds of millions of dollars to afford building upgrades and new dormitories. Meanwhile, tuition and fees there have climbed by 166% since 2002 — marking the largest amount spent by any flagship.
The university also spent $14.3 million to buy and renovate an 18th century monastery in Arezzo, Italy, for its study abroad program. The university said it covered the costs with private gifts and university funds.
“We levered up the balance sheet to avoid dealing with [financial] reality,” university president Joseph Harroz Jr. told the Journal, indicating “there was an arms race” across higher education institutions.
The University of Oklahoma failed to hold to budget plans in previous years, Harroz said, but added that since 2018, it has reduced expenses by $143 million at its main campus in Norman.
Students are left with the higher bills
Today, the average cost per year has risen to $42,162 for attending a private college, $23,6320 for attending an out-of-state public university and $10,662 for in-state residents at public universities, according to an analysis by U.S. News & World Report.
These price hikes, the NEA says, are a major factor in what’s driving America’s student debt crisis. And a crisis it certainly is, with over 43 million Americans now on the hook for $1.6 trillion in student loans, which they will have to resume repaying this month. Many of those borrowers were unprepared to start making payments again, as payments resumed Oct. 1.
“Students do not have the resources right now to continue to foot the bill for all of the things that the university wants to do,” Crispin South, a 2023 Oklahoma graduate, told the Journal.
“You can’t just continue to raise revenue by turning to students.”

Quality real ales and good home made food at heart of a March pub as it reopens with new name Georges after quick transformation
REAL ales, fine food and good wines are at the heart of a pub reopening today after a five-day refurbishment.
Established pub and restaurant owners Marion and Steve Smith have teamed up with 17-year-old Andre Marsh and will open the doors of re-designed and renamed Georges this afternoon.
Andre, along with brother Arron, 21, ran The Dog in Chatteris but after a battle with landlords Punch Taverns, when the lease bought by their father Nigel was not transferred to them from the former owners, they had to close last July.
But the family see the �20,000 transformation as a chance to start again with Fenland influenced home made food and fine coffee at the centre of their plan to turn the pub into a thriving business.
Nigel Marsh said: “We have turned Georges back to a traditional pub focusing on good home made food, good real ales and a good atmosphere.
You may also want to watch:
“Customers will see a familiar face when they come in as we believe this is vital in creating a friendly atmosphere
“We have teamed up with Marion and Steve who are specialists in home cooking and have had two five star rated pubs in the past.”

- 2 Firefighters attempted to resuscitate suspected murder victim
- 3 Man arrested on suspicion of murder after death of woman in her 70s
- 4 Two boys, aged 12 and 14, arrested after 3am service station burglary
- 5 iPads and laptops stolen in school break-in
- 6 Class B drug factory discovered following British Gas search warrant
- 7 Pervert filmed himself having sex with girl, 14, and then shared video online

- 9 MP Steve Barclay visits £14m A47 Guyhirn roundabout upgrade works
- 10 Drink-driver blows over four times legal limit after ‘booze and cruise’
The new owners have introduced a real ale and cider shed, which will house up to eight ales and four ciders, many of which will be from micro breweries within 35 miles of the pub and customers will see their pint poured straight from the cask.
Mr Smith said: “We want to play a big part in March. We are going to take part in the March Festival and the St George’s Festival next month.
“The front of the pub has changed and we can’t wait to see the new plants in full bloom as it will make a huge difference to the way the High Street will look.
“We are going to have a real ale festival over Easter and we would like other pubs to join us to create a March beer festival in the future.”
Georges, formerly known as The George, will have three beer gardens, one transformed from the old car park at the front of the pub, a lounge and will include a coffee tavern which boasts six different roasts to match the tastes of customers.
Andre Marsh said: “Hopefully this will be the start of building a chain of pubs for the family.”
The pub will offer takeaway pints from as low as �1.50 each, rivalling supermarket costs with fresh ales on sale.
They are offering free pints for friends when customers go to their website www.georges-march.co.uk and leave feedback as the pub strives to improve service.

Big news, ladies! New C-section guidelines are coming to a hospital near you. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine (SMFM) are addressing what some of us have known for years: many of the C-sections that account for 1 in 3 births are unnecessary and harmful.
“Cesarean birth can be life-saving for the fetus, the mother, or both in certain cases,” says the new statement on C-sections published in The Green Journal. Still, there’s “significant concern that cesarean delivery is overused.”
Three syllables: Fi-nal-ly.
Even better: The paper expresses more than just concerns. It provides actionable guidelines. Here, the key takeaways to discuss with your OB-GYN and/or midwife before delivery day.
The C-section cause: The baby is taking too long.
Thirty four percent of C-sections are done because mom isn’t dilating, or because the baby isn’t descending into the birth canal as quickly as doctors want it to.
Here's the problem with the presuming things are taking too long: A 1950s guideline, the Freidman curve, determines normal rates for labor progression. Recent data shows that labor can take considerably longer than anticipated by Friedman (and today’s doctors), and still result in a normal vaginal delivery and a healthy mother and baby.
The new guidelines:
The active phase of labor begins when the cervix is dilated 6 cm (previously, 4 cm). Before then, as long as you and your baby are fine, you shouldn’t even be evaluated for labor dystocia (the term used for a slow or difficult labor).
C-sections for labor dystocia should be reserved for women at or beyond 6 cm of dilation with ruptured membranes who don’t progress despite 4 hours of contractions, or women who have been on Pitocin (which strengthens and regulates contractions) for 6 hours with no progress.
Related: When Labor Stalls
The C-section cause: The baby isn’t handling labor well.
Abnormal or unestablished fetal heart rate tracings cause 23 percent of C-sections.
We know that babies’ heart rates will dip and rise throughout the course of labor—not usually a big deal. But when heart rates are continuously tracked on paper, providers are motivated to fix them (even when there's really nothing wrong). As doctors will say, "you won’t get sued for the C-section—you'll get sued for the one you didn’t do, but should have."
The new guidelines:
Before going to the operating room for an abnormal heart rate, doctors should investigate further. Example: They can do something called “fetal scalp stimulation,” which involves rubbing the baby’s head to increase the heart rate.

Capsulectomy is a cosmetic surgery
procedure designed to remove capsules that may have formed around breast implants
. When these capsules thicken, they can squeeze the implants and distort their shape. The risk of implant damage or rupture also increases with thicker implants. Capsulectomy procedure, which is also known as full implant capsule removal, is a surgery that can be performed on one or both breast, depending on the capsule position and the degree of irritation it causes. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Hisham Seify
provides this procedure to patients in Newport Beach, Orange County, CA, and surrounding locations.
Breast capsulectomy plastic surgery
is performed as an open procedure. The surgeon will cut through the scar tissue, which opens up the capsule, to remove the implant. Open surgery is preferred over the traditional closed procedures in which the surgeon would squeeze the implant to break open the scar tissue. This older technique was not only painful, but also involved a higher risk of implant rupturing. Two types of capsulectomy procedures include total capsulectomy and sub-total capsulectomy. In case of total capsulectomy, as the name suggests, the cosmetic surgeon
will remove the entire capsule and replace the breast implant
with a new one. In sub-total capsulectomy, the capsule will be partially removed, but only if the implant has not shifted or broken. In both of these surgical options, the breast implant
will probably be removed. The goal of the surgeon is to remove the problem-causing capsule, and insert a new implant that will be more sustainable. Dr. Seify
receives patients from Newport Beach, Orange County, CA, and nearby areas for capsulectomy.
Incisions and Implant Positioning
A number of options are usually available to a surgeon for placing the incision and positioning of the breast implant
. This will depend on the unique anatomy of the patient and her personal aesthetic choices. The surgeon will break open the scar tissue to release the tension. Thereafter, an incision will be made either along the breast crease below the breast, around the edge of the areola, or in the armpit. The new implant will inserted through the incision and placed in a desirable, natural looking position. The incisions will then be closed with fine dissolvable or non-dissolvable sutures. Tapes are placed over the sutures for extra support. The surgeon will also place a light dressing over the incisions to support healing.
Causes for Capsule Formation
When a breast implant
is inserted into the breast, the body’s natural defense system views it as a foreign body invasion, and gives a response. This response will be the formation of a thick barrier of scar tissue or a capsule around the implant. This is the immune system’s natural way of protecting the body and preventing the implant from damaging the surrounding tissue. The thickness of the implant capsule varies from one patient to another, and may even vary between right and left breasts. Capsule formation will occur each time breast implants
are inserted, but may only occasionally cause a problem. See more procedures and treatments by plastic surgeon Dr. Hisham Seify in Newport Beach | Orange County

(Envy Coffee had since ceased operations. The same team behind Envy Coffee now runs The Croissandwich Shop in the same location.)
While Biopolis sees the addition of more eateries as the place became more developed of the late, Envy Coffee opens up in the upcoming one-north development at Fusionopolis, which is just not too far off from Buona Vista.
Unlike cafes of the late, Envy Coffee somehow feels less hipster as it adopts a colourful theme without being too bright or outstanding with the help of wooden accents. The limited menu here features Lasagne, Pasta and Sandwiches, while serving cakes from Bukit Merah bakery, The Bakery Chef.
(Roasted Beef Sandwich)
Their specialty, the Smoked Duck Miso Spaghetti was sold out by the time we visited them, so we went with the Roast Beef Sandwich instead. It was fairly decent; multi-grain bread with vegetables, roast beef and what seems like wasabi mayo in between, that gave a tinge of numbness which made a good contrast in terms of taste. It could be improved though; the meat was slightly gamey though should be acceptable to anyone who can take beef, and that it seem to have a bit of fatty meat that my dining partner was not too found of. The Potato Chips seemed to come out of the bag, but the salad was fresh and refreshing.
The coffee here was decent; the Flat White had a light chocolatey tone although it bubbled up pretty quickly. Forgot to ask them which blends they use for their coffee here.
While the food here would not be something I will specially make a visit for, it would definitely make for a great lunch option for office workers nearby. I probably would be back to try their Smoked Duck Miso Spaghetti again however, since my other dining partners seemed to be relatively interested in it and that it seems pretty popular with the clientele there as well.

Last Saturday "Material World" opened at artdc Gallery in Hyattsville. Two artists talks will be held in conjunction with the show: Michael Janis, Sherill Anne Gross and Marie Ringwald on Saturday, March 19, and Matt Langley on Saturday, April 2.
So, this Saturday from 2-3 pm there will be a gallery talk featuring three artists: Sherill Anne Gross, Marie Ringwald and Michael Janis.
The group show, curated by Stephen Boocks, deals with artistic media & how it relates to the artist's work - why does the artist choose that medium to make their artwork? Does the material support the work or does it get in the way? Do all elements work in concert with each other? And how do they achieve their own balance?
A number of familiar DMV artists are featured - from the 100 Washington, DC Artists book: Marie Ringwald & Michael Janis and from the Sondheim Prize shortlist - JT Kirkland and Hamiltonian Projects Fellow Katherine Mann.
Also featured are the very talented paper artist Sherrill Gross and painter Matthew Langley.
