“Laissez les bons temps rouler”
Let the good times roll, and there will be many this Carnivale Season, as the Franklin Street Events Association brings the city more great events leading up to Mardi Gras! Two years ago, the Mardi Gras Franklin Crawl, saw 5,000 people on the street celebrating Evansville’s first large scale Mardi gras party. Last year, after this initial success, we have decided to not only do the event again, but to add more to the entire celebration!
Feb. 7th 2pm – 4pm, Franklin Street is hosting their 2nd annual GUMBO COOK OFF! Many of the street’s businesses are partnering with local non-for profits to host a Gumbo Cook Off like the city has never seen! $10 for an individual tasting spoon, let’s you sample not only all the non-for profits gumbo, but the businesses as well. There will be official judges, people’s choice awards, and the coveted “Best Franklin Street Business Gumbo”, which of course comes with bragging rights for the entire years. All proceeds will benefit the participating non-for profits. A “tasting spoon” (an armband that will allow you to enjoy gumbo at each location) will be available at all participating locations the day of the event.
Feb. 13th 6pm – 2am the Mardi Gras Franklin Crawl is back for year three! Use the shuttles provided by Pink Elephant Celebration and Feller Limosuine to travel from Leroy’s Tavern to Lamasco Bar and Grill and all the restaurants, bars, and participating locations in between for a night of FUN, BEADS, AND THE BEST MARDI GRAS PARTY IN THE CITY! Join thousand of other revelers as they take to the bars and the street for a night of pure Carnivale fun!
Feb. 14th, 4pm the GRAND PARADE. The parade will be using the same route as the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival parade, with parade goers lining the street from Wabash Ave of Flags to St. Joe. This family friendly event will offer unique and different floats, tens of thousands of beads, and a chance to be part of history with this very first Evansville Mardi Gras parade!
Through the entire celebration, all of the bars and restaurants are offering Cajun fare, from gumbo and jambalaya, to fresh oysters and crawfish boils!

Dentist balance billing is an essential part of every dental appointment.Creating medical claims for insurance companies to pay for oral health care is known as dental billing. To ensure that their employer is paid for
the services they did on a patient, the dental payer keeps an eye on the claim. An expert dental payer can increase the practice’s overall effectiveness and revenue success.
The practice of dental billing is common in dentistry, as you would have assumed. For new dental professionals, learning this fundamental skill may not be an exciting chore, but it is one that they must master.
Many Dental Assistants (DAs) have received training to perform dental billing duties in a variety of settings. Following the correct dental insurance and billing procedures is crucial.
Who is Capable of handling insurance and billing tasks?
Although many oral health specialists may be qualified to handle billing duties, dental personnel or dental assistants frequently manage these activities. The duties of the DA are varied and include arranging appointments, keeping records, and caring for patients. Additionally, dental assistants frequently collaborate closely with
patients, dental hygienists, and dentists throughout the day.
Dental assistants may manage patients’ insurance claims. Patient’s insurance information can be gathered, and they can process these claims by sending invoices to insurance providers. DAs may even serve as salesmen in specific circumstances.
Training Requirements For Dental Billing And Insurance
Depending on your region and line of work, there may be different regulations for dental billing and insurance.
For instance, candidates for Dental Assistant must typically complete an approved curriculum and pass a test. Some people, though, might receive training while working. Programs for dental assistants are often completed in one year or less. Both clinical and classroom instruction are part of them.
Billing And Insurance Procedure
It requires years of practice to master, just like any other skill. Understanding correct dental pricing structures is therefore the first step. Some Important Steps are.
Medical Front-End Billing
Registration: When people call the office of their provider to make an appointment, the first step in processing an insurance claim begins.
Verifying Eligibility: You must confirm that the patient’s insurance plan covers the services provided before the dental office is paid for the work done.
Collections at the Point of Service: Once you are aware of the patient’s financial obligations, you can ask them to pay their copay, deductible, coinsurance, or the entire outstanding sum when they come to the front desk.
Form of Encounter: For each patient interaction, an encounter form—also referred to as a superbill or fee ticket—is produced. The patient’s demographics, services, medical codes, and clinician notes are listed on this form.
Checkout: You can now arrange a follow-up appointment if necessary and confirm that the doctor is still available.
Medical Billing on the Back End
Charge Entry: Use the encounter form to confirm the actions taken and the justification for them. The business management system will then receive these charges. Enter any sums paid at that time
by the patient.
– Claim Generation: After entering the expenses and payments, you can generate the claim. This procedure could involve gathering fees, revenue codes, and other things.
– Claim Scrubbing: As you prepare the claim, make sure that all procedures, diagnoses, and modifier codes are present and correct by “scrubbing” it. Claims cleaning verifies the accuracy of the patient, provider, and visit details.
– Claim Forms: To get paid from insurance as a medical biller, you typically utilize one of two claim forms.
– Claim Submission: The provider organization, or your employer,may electronically submit claims to payers. Medical billers typically employ software that complies with HIPAA-mandated standards for
– Claim tracking: Keep in mind that your involvement is ongoing even after a claim has been filed. Each claim’s status must be checked every day as well. Clearinghouses, or middlemen, are frequently equipped with dashboards that make it simple to access updates for submitted claims.
– Payment Posting: Payments must also be reported when a hospital or physician’s office receives ERAs (also known as electronic remittance advice), accompanied checks, or direct deposits. Therefore, don’t disregard remittances sent for anything.
– Patient Payments: The patient statement needs to be submitted following the posting of the ERA. It must incorporate all unpaid amounts.
The statements must also include the date on which services were provided, the services that were rendered, the services that were completed the insurance reimbursement that was obtained, the payments collected at the time of service, and the justification for the patient balance that is owed.
– Denial Management: Resolve any difficulties with denials or reimbursements as soon as they arise. The ERA gives medical billers a denial code(s) and a brief justification for the claim’s denial if a payer rejects a claim.
– A/R Collections: Welcome to the last stage of the medical billing process! Unfortunately, delinquent accounts can occur when it comes to patient collections. Patients who don’t pay within a certain time frame should be followed up with.
Equipment Required for Dental Insurance and Billing
The following items are typically included in dental billing and insurance supplies:
A trustworthy computer
– Fax machine
Dental Insurance and Billing Risks and Complications
You must accurately carry out your medical billing responsibilities. This is because errors that occur at any level could hurt income, administrative workload, and other factors. This underlines the value of qualified dental
billers who can successfully carry out their responsibilities within the dental billing cycle. Consider it this way: The efficiency of a dentist’s billing team determines the practice’s financial stability.
Use the top dental billing services to simplify your billing-related issues. To help you resolve billing challenges and generate outstanding earnings, DentalRevu, a top dental billing company, employs the best tactics and procedures.
Our main goal is to help your office collect any insurance money that is owed to you. To maintain your insurance account balances exceeding ninety (90) days to a bare minimum, this involves our assistance in some aspects of the processing of your insurance claim.

Has anyone used the Optimum Car Wax? I just used it an learned it can also be used as a drying additive. Also good for glass as opposed to older style wax. Obviously not ceramic-infused or anything but from what I can tell it leaves a very glossy, slick, hydrophobic shine. For less than the Opti or Hyper-Seal.
Yes, it is a great product. I have been using Optimum Car Wax for several years as a drying aid on my coated cars. It is a hybrid spray wax that has no carnauba in it. Being a synthetic wax, it has much better life span than than a traditional spray wax but if you are using it as a drying aid, durability really only matters for the time period between wash to wash. If you were to use it as the only protective product (no ceramic coat, etc.) on well prepared paint, it would last ~4-6 weeks without difficulty...perhaps a bit longer. It does leave a glossy and slick finish -- looks great.
OCW is easy to apply, economical (buy a gallon on sale for like $38-40), has a pleasant smell, and can be used safely on all exterior surfaces.

Jacob Trouba, Johnny Gaudreau and Nikita Kucherov highlight a strong and deep group of restricted free agents that remain unsigned at the moment. While they will each ultimately cash in and receive substantial contracts for the 2016-17 campaign and likely beyond, their status as restricted free agents has certainly complicated the negotiation process.
Next summer, another quality group of players are set to hit restricted free agency unless they can agree to terms on a new deal prior to the 2017-18 league year. In a series of posts, Pro Hockey Rumors will profile the top pending 2017 RFAs and examine what kind of contract they could elicit assuming they put up a strong performance during their platform year. Today we finish up in the Pacific Division.
Tanner Pearson (Los Angeles) – Pearson is a solid, two-way winger who has seen a fair amount of action on a line with Jeff Carter and Tyler Toffoli affectionately referred to as “That 70’s Line.” He tallied 15 goals and 36 points in 2015-16 and has a scoring rate of 0.43 Pts/Game in 146 career contests. Pearson is currently slated to make $1.4MM in the second and final season of a two-year deal.
Pearson’s career production is similar to that of two recent RFA signees: J.T. Miller of the Rangers and Cody Eakin of the Stars. Miller posted career-best totals of 22 goals, 21 assists and 43 points in 2015-16 and has a career scoring rate of 0.52 Pts/Game. Eakin has a career Pts/Game rate of 0.45 and has scored at least 35 points in each of the last three seasons as Dallas’ third center.
Statistically, Pearson would seem to match up well with Eakin meaning another season of 35 – 40 points could line him up to receive something similar to the four-year, $15.4MM $3.875MM AAV) deal Eakin is set to play under beginning this season. But if the Kings and Pearson can’t get a long-term deal done, it’s possible the two-year, $5.5MM ($2.75MM AAV) bridge contract of Miller works as a comparable.
Joonas Donskoi (San Jose) – Donskoi was a surprisingly steady producer for the Sharks and played a key role in helping San Jose reach the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in franchise history in 2015-16. Given his first taste of North American pro hockey, the Finnish winger contributed 36 points in 76 contests and added another 12 points in the playoffs. Donskoi seemed to find chemistry with Logan Couture this past season and if given another opportunity to play on the skilled pivot’s wing, he could cross the 40-point plateau in 2016-17.
Production-wise, Donskoi would appear to be close enough to Pearson’s level that the Miller and Eakin contracts should serve as fair comparisons. Another possible comparable who would appear to set the floor of Donskoi’s expectations is Michael Raffl, who after seasons of 28 and 31 points, respectively, inked a three-year, $7.05MM ($2.35MM AAV) pact with the Flyers. Both started their professional careers in Europe and jumped to the NHL in their mid-20’s. If Donskoi’s production takes a step back from his rookie level, he could be looking at a new deal in the same range as Raffl’s.
Bo Horvat (Vancouver) – After a solid debut campaign as a 19-year-old rookie two years ago with the Canucks, Horvat bumped his production up from 25 points to 40 points as a sophomore in 2016-17. He has the skill and ability to improve his numbers even further in his third season if given an opportunity for top-six ice time.
If Horvat can take the next step to 50 points or so, a new contract could be similar to that of Nick Bjugstad’s in Florida. After netting 38 points in his first full campaign, Bjugstad tallied 43 in 201-15 and was rewarded with a six-year, $24.6MM deal which took effect upon the expiration of his ELC. Both players are versatile enough to play up and down the lineup and fill a variety of roles. The Canucks will have to be frugal, however, as they already have more than $52MM tied up in 14 players for 2017-18 leaving roughly $20MM or so – depending on where the cap ceiling falls – to re-sign several key RFAs. It’s possible they push for a less expensive bridge deal as a result.
Erik Gudbranson (Vancouver) – The Canucks took some criticism when they dealt 19-year-old Jared McCann, the team’s first-round pick in 2014, and two draft choices for Gudbranson this past May. It’s not that Gudbranson isn’t a good player; it’s more that the Canucks aren’t likely to be a playoff squad in 2016-17 and shouldn’t be sacrificing controllable young talent for a player who is set to get pretty expensive.
Gudbranson inked a one-year pact worth $3.5MM soon after the trade and will again be a RFA after the upcoming season. With five years of NHL experience already under his belt, Gudbranson will be just two seasons away from unrestricted free agency following the 2016-17 campaign. That means any long-term extension is likely going to buy out multiple free agent seasons.
Gudbranson is a physical, defense-first blue liner, who doesn’t contribute much offense. His single-season career-high in points scored is just 13. Obviously Gudbranson will be looking for a raise on his $3.5MM salary. One potential comparable for Gudbranson is Adam Larsson, who signed a six-year, $25MM extension and like the Vancouver defender is known more for his defense than his offense. But Larsson’s deal took effect on the conclusion of his ELC and only bought out a single free agent year.
A closer comparable may be Canadiens defenseman Alexei Emelin, who is also a defense-first blue liner with a career high in points of just 17. He is in the midst of a four-year deal with an AAV of $4.1MM.
With most teams favoring mobile, puck-moving defenders over tough, physical defensive defenseman like Gudbranson, it will be interesting to see what value they place on the big blue liner.

BOULDER, Colo. — A law professor who spoke during former president Donald Trump's rally outside the White House before the attack on the U.S. Capitol has been stripped of his public duties as a visiting scholar at the University of Colorado Boulder.
According to a spokesman for CU, the university relieved John Eastman of duties related to outreach and speaking as a representative of the Benson Center for the Study of Western Civilization.
The spokesman said university officials determined Eastman's continued pursuit of those activities "would likely be disruptive and damage the interests of the campus and the Benson Center."
Eastman remains rostered as the visiting scholar and may continue to perform scholarship, the spokesman added.
Eastman's duties originally included teaching four courses per academic year, initiating a speaker series each semester aimed at a general audience comprising campus and community, and doing outreach and speaking with various groups, the spokesman said.
Eastman's spring courses were canceled due to low enrollment, according to the spokesman.
His contract with the university expires May 7.
Eastman stood next to Rudy Giuliani, Trump's lawyer, and made false claims about voter fraud at the Jan. 6 rally, The Orange County Register reported.
“They were unloading the ballots from that secret folder, matching them, matching them to the unvoted voter, and voila, we have enough votes to barely get over the finish line,” Eastman said.
Eastman retired from his position at Chapman University in Orange, Calif. after more than 160 faculty members signed a letter calling for the university to take action against him.
Trump repeated false claims about election fraud at the rally, calling on his followers to "fight like hell" and urging them to march to the Capitol.
A mob then stormed the Capitol in an attempt to stop Congress' certification of President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election.
Five people, including a Capitol police officer, died.

For decades, owning a home has been a key component of the American dream. However, millennials are all about disrupting trends, and housing has been no exception. Millennials have chosen to rent longer than their Generation X or Baby Boomer counterparts for many reasons—such as high student debt, an emphasis on flexibility, and a penchant for convenience. These unique reasons have made millennials a different type of renter and a market you should definitely not ignore.
Convenience over space
Millennials have largely embraced a more minimalistic lifestyle. This means that large houses with big yards are less desirable than a smaller home in a better location with less maintenance. Millennials want to be a part of the action and not have long commutes to work or good hangout spots on the weekend.
Convenience also means not having to worry about yard work or other maintenance tasks. Younger renters value landlords who are proactive and responsive to maintenance requests, so don’t delay fixing a leaky pipe or broken appliance!
Flexibility over putting down roots
Millennials change jobs on average every four to five years. This means that a home in the suburbs may become a burden and completely dependent on the swings of the market. Even though rent prices may rise in the short term, at least they won’t be stuck with a large mortgage and negative equity if home prices fall.
Additionally, renting in a few different locations allows millennials to try out a neighborhood without committing long term. Bad neighbors or an awful commute are easily dropped for greener pastures.
Digital payments over a check
Many millennials can’t remember the last time they had to write a check. Instead, they’ll turn to digital payments such as online bill pay, PayPal, Venmo, or any number of online payment options instead.
However, embracing online payments is a boon to landlords as well. You’ll receive your payments automatically in most cases and you can skip the trip to the bank. Sidenote: millennials don’t just use their phones to make payments, they also prefer text messages to phone calls. So, keep your smartphone handy.
Financial freedom over debt
Millennials coming out of college have an average of $28,000 or more in student loans, more so than any other generation. That, coupled with lower wages, means that millennials just simply do not have the savings for a down payment or the desire to take on additional debt.
In large urban areas, the price of rent as well as high home prices mean it’s just not feasible to save up for a down payment. And it’s not just the mortgage payment that must be considered, it’s also the insurance, utilities, and other payments that go along with a home. If conditions aren’t right and there is instability in a relationship, job, or other big life event, millennials are likely to take less risk on a home purchase.
In years past, taking a chance on a young couple or single young adult was a risky move. However, millennials are becoming a more attractive demographic and a market that, as a landlord, you shouldn’t ignore. Understanding what millennials value—convenience, flexibility, online payment options, and debt management—is key to making your renting relationship a good one for both parties.

Weeks after President Biden’s deadline to withdraw Americans and U.S. passport holders from Afghanistan in the midst of the Taliban’s takeover there are still hundreds stranded in the country. As the Biden administration does little to help evacuate Americans and Afghan allies in direct danger of the Taliban other private organizations have stepped up. However, new reports detail recent visits from the FBI poking around the organizations working to evacuate those stranded in Afghanistan causing some to question if they are deliberately trying to interfere.
Agents have visited, emailed and called members of Task Force Pineapple and Task Force Dunkirk, two of the more prominent organizations, and other groups with a host of queries. The Bureau has asked groups about financial records, to provide manifests and make sure no federal laws are violated, according to eight group members and congressional aides familiar with the moves.
In one instance, agency officials showed up at the home of Scott Mann, founder of Task Force Pineapple, said Tim Parlatore, the group’s legal counsel. Such a visit is normal for the FBI, and the group cooperated fully, Parlatore said.
Some of the people described the outreach as nothing out of the ordinary and part of the growing public-private partnership on evacuations. “In my mind, the FBI was trying to be helpful, not intimidating,” a person familiar with the outreach said.
Others saw it differently. “Any time you get visited by the FBI or contacted by an entity like that, it’s concerning,” said one person affiliated with the groups, who like others spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic.
Is the FBI trying to cover for the Biden administration’s horrendous handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal or simply doing its due diligence? Tell us what you think in the comments below!


City probing alleged comment about lawyer
Administrators are looking into whether Police Chief Jose Lopez told colleagues a defense lawyer deserved to get shot because of his profession, City Manager Tom Bonfield says.
Bonfield confirmed the review on Thursday, hours after the public defenders for Durham, Orange and Chatham counties wrote city officials to ask for an investigation.
But it had already been “underway for some time” and could be complete by Tuesday, Bonfield said.
In asking for a probe, Durham Public Defender Lawrence Campbell and Orange/Chatham Public Defender James E. Williams Jr. were reacting to a claim a Durham assistant police chief, Winslow Forbes, made in a recent equal-employment-opportunity complaint against the city.
Forbes alleged Lopez made the comment July 2. Forbes said that he reported it to Bonfield on July 16.
The comment supposedly pertained to a private-practice lawyer injured in a late-June shooting that happened on Gray Avenue. Detectives said he was an innocent bystander.
The lawyer -- like other members of the local bar -- sometimes represents indigent defendants as a court-appointed attorney.
Forbes told the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that Lopez disparaged the lawyer as he prepared for a news conference officials called to address the spate of shootings that happened in the early summer.
By Forbes’ account, the chief told subordinates he intended to say all the recent shooting victims were black and had been involved in criminal activity.
A different assistant chief pointed out that the lawyer had not been involved in criminal activity; Lopez responded “by saying the lawyer deserved to get shot because he was a public defender,” Forbes claimed.
The alleged comment drew criticism on Aug. 16 from Forbes’ lawyer, Caitlyn Thomson. Campbell and Williams voiced similar concerns Thursday in their messages to city officials.
Campbell said comments like those attributed to the chief “cannot be justified in any context.”
“I would expect that Chief Lopez’s actions are being investigated by those persons charged with oversight of the chief and the Durham Police Department,” he said in an email to Mayor Bill Bell and City Attorney Patrick Baker.
Williams via a letter said the allegation if true would show “extreme callousness toward an innocent crime victim” and disrespect for the U.S. Constitution.
Criminal-defense lawyers “protect all citizens from potential police misconduct or prosecutorial misconduct,” Williams said. “They are an integral part of our system of checks and balances on government authority. A remark such as that alleged to have been made by Chief Lopez is unacceptable and should be thoroughly investigated.”
Also weighing in via letter on Wednesday was Jennifer Harjo, public defender for New Hanover County and president of the N.C. Public Defender Association.
She said “any lack of respect for criminal defense attorneys [or] public defenders is not only unwarranted but demonstrates an ignorance of our duties, obligation and profession.”
Campbell’s email sparked a message to Bonfield from Bell. The mayor said he wishes “that we could get some clarity” about the comment attributed to the chief.
“I am beginning to hear it repeated too many times and it can begin to take on a life of its own,” Bell told the manager. “If the statement was not made, I would at least like [to] know.”
Bonfield concurred. “We are working with [Baker] on a statement to be made,” he said in a return email to the mayor.
In an interview, Bonfield said the review is being conducted by “a combination of people, including myself.” He added that the city attorney’s and city auditor’s offices are also involved.
Baker late Thursday afternoon released a letter he wrote to Harjo that said officials are looking into “all the allegations” in Forbes’ complaint.
“If at the conclusion of our review we determine the allegations to be true, the city will take all necessary steps to address the situation,” Baker told Harjo. “If the allegations turn out not to be true or cannot be substantiated, the city will vigorously defend itself and its employees.”
Forbes filed his EEOC complaint in reaction to being passed over this spring for a promotion to deputy chief. He alleges Lopez retaliated against him for having complained about the treatment in the department of black officers.

Global positioning satellite systems don’t work well in skyscraper-filled urban canyons and not at all inside buildings. Rosum, a California start-up firm, aims to fill that gap using television signals, according to an article in the San Jose Mercury News. TV signals penetrate through buildings, and Rosum uses them to track people where GPS can't. The first device using Rosum's technology is in the prototype stage. Navigation products using it will make their debut next year, according to Rosum Chief Executive Skip Speaks. Rosum, which counts among its investors In-Q-Tel, the investment arm of the Central Intelligence Agency, promises a vast improvement in location-tracking services and gadgets, according to the report. That could help everyone from the military to dispatchers tracking delivery trucks. It could be used to track people indoors or locate someone making a 911 emergency call on an Internet phone. Adds Speaks, the former head of Kyocera's wireless phone business, “Ultimately, we'd like to drive the technology into every cell phone,” says Speaks.

Stefano’s Restaurant was opened in the original cellars of Mildura’s historic Grand Hotel in 1991 by celebrity cook and microbrewer Stefano de Pieri and his wife Donata Carrazza. What were once cool rooms for kegs of beer have been turned into intimate dining spaces.
In 1991, it commenced as a very simple affair with bare wooden tables, a basic blackboard menu and paper napkins. Stefano, working in partnership with Donata, began to prepare traditional, rustic Italian fare similar to the cooking he grew up with in the Veneto region of Italy. Diners would peruse the menu but were delighted to take up Stefano’s suggestions that he simply feed them what he had prepared for the day. This style of dining with a set price per person and an element of surprise is now synonymous with eating at Stefano’s. More than 20 years on, this original idea sees a four course option available from Tuesday to Saturday. The restaurant and Stefano have been bestowed numerous awards and continue to attract diners from all over Australia and further afield.
Today, the restaurant is divided into three sections. The Cool Room seats up to 30 guests, and is notable for a display of frosted mirrors from the 1930s that visually narrate the Mildura story. The Venetian Room seats up to 14 guests and takes its name from Stefano’s origins. The corridor, which dates back to 1888, links these ‘cool rooms’ and is lined with tables for single diners or couples, displaying an array of art work and memorabilia from Stefano’s collection.
Many travellers make the journey to Mildura especially to eat at the famous Stefano’s Restaurant. With elegant 4 star accommodation under the same roof at Quality Hotel Mildura Grand, patrons can take advantage of an all-inclusive package which includes their dining at Stefano’s Restaurant. Bookings essential.
Refer to the Mildura Grand hotel website ‘Specials Page” for more information on the ‘Taste of Mildura’ package. Experience the iconic, multi-award winning restaurant of Stefano di Pieri and stay grand in Mildura, where modern facilities meet traditional surrounds and friendly service at Quality Hotel Mildura Grand.

The Artisan Blog
I caught up with Laura from our Marketing Team to chat about her experience of Madeira. Here is what she had to say:
So, what I imagine when I think of visiting ‘gardens’ is long afternoons spent wandering round protected stately homes, battered flowers and mowed lawns, but you can think again when it comes to the gardens of Madeira; they’re something entirely different!
At the beginning of May, I was lucky enough to experience our small-ship cruise on the Aegean Sea. The cruise itself was unbelievable and it allowed me to travel to some wonderful Greek Islands. Certainly, an experience I’ll remember and cherish for years to come!
Unlike traditional cruises, a small-ship cruise focuses on the destination, not the journey, but one of the highlights of this trip for me was having time pre-and post-cruise to explore the ancient city of Athens. So, I thought I’d share some of my highlights, hints and tips!
As we drifted leisurely past a tiny Greek island and the sun shone down on the water, small diamond-like sparkles seem to bubble on the surface. It was one of those moments when I thought for the millionth time… ‘I absolutely love my job!’
After a dreary and damp UK winter, I was thrilled to learn that my next work trip was going to be sampling our new holiday - Small-ship cruise on the Aegean Sea
At this time of year, the sun does not set in Northern Norway. Whilst slightly disorientating at first, I soon came to really enjoy the never-ending days and the opportunities this opened. In this time of the Midnight Sun, Norwegians sleep less – they fish, they kayak, they BBQ, they island hop – more daylight means more time to enjoy the splendours of the land and socialise until the early hours.
At around 11.30pm the sun dips toward, but never quite reaches, the horizon. The Norwegian fjords and mountains are bathed in a pinkish golden glow and the scenery looks all the more idyllic, exuding a sense of warmth and serenity. As strange as it sounds, one of my favourite things to do was to simply sit on the water’s edge and enjoy the colours of the light.
One of the key highlights of the trip was the chance to spend time on the island of Senja. Having listened to colleagues rave about it for years, it was a place I was eager to see. I can confirm that it does indeed live up to the hype.
It didn’t really occur to me until afterwards, but to see a whale in the wild is truly a magnificent experience.
We were lucky enough to see four sperm whales up close off the coast of Norway (although, as Daniele our guide pointed out to us, your eyes play tricks with you at sea and what feels like 20 metres away is more like 80) and it makes you feel overwhelmingly humbled to witness an animal that has swum in our oceans for more than 5 million years.
The adjective ‘beautiful’ is banned in our office so I have had to delve into my thesaurus to accurately describe what I thought of Norway on my recent stay. Glorious, splendid, gorgeous, lovely and stunning are a good way to start, but perhaps most accurately, my overall thoughts on the parts of Norway we explored were that they were so easy on the eye that it was almost laughable.
Now I'm hardly known as a petrol-head and wasn't interested in motorbikes, but who hasn't been attracted to the thrills and glamour associated with the snowmobile?
Ever since I can remember, since watching Sean and Roger in old Bond movies, I've dreamed of cruising over the crisp white snow, a trail of powder in my wake as I power over frozen Arctic wastes escaping some imagined team of henchmen in hot pursuit. But what if the reality is slightly different? What if I'm not so much Milk Tray man as Mr Bean? Just how sensitive is the throttle and what if I fly off or hit a tree?
Personally, I am not a huge believer in spirituality, for example, I have never experienced people or places having auras or special meanings.
However, when I met Sven Engholm the owner and head Musher at Engholm Husky in Karasjok, I was completely blown away by the sheer presence of this incredible man.

The Kawasaki Versys 1000 is an impressive motorcycle to say the least. One of our former colleagues was heavily impressed with the motorcycle when he test rode it (in 2015) for a detailed review. However, the motorcycle may no longer be available in the Indian market; at least that’s what the latest reports suggest. Kawasaki has reportedly discontinued its litre-class tourer, the Versys 1000 from the Indian market.
The motorcycle has also gone missing from India Kawasaki Motors’ official website as the Versys tab now displays the Versys-X300 and Versys 650 motorcycles. The motorcycle had a tough time facing the stiff competition from the likes of Triumph Tiger 800 range, Honda Africa Twin and the Ducati Multistrada 950.
The Indian arm of the Japanese two-wheeler brand, plans to concentrate to increase the sales of the more affordable versions of the tourer, Versys-X300 and Versys 650.
Priced at INR 12.90 lakh (ex-showroom) the Versys 1000 was one of the most versatile motorcycles in the Indian market. The 1,043cc inline-four, liquid-cooled engine on the motorcycle was tuned to produce 118 bhp of maximum power at 9,000 rpm and 102 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. The engine was mated to a six-speed transmission and was tuned for a more linear power delivery at the low and mid range.
The motorcycle may return with a new completely new design but that, as the source report suggests, will depend on the demand in the Indian market.

Jimmy Kimmel is slated to host the Oscars in a few weeks, and it's unclear how far he will go as far as making political statements.
It has now become an awards show staple to feature multiple political remarks or jokes throughout the ceremony, as seen by the Emmys, the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards. As a talk show host, Kimmel has made his fair share of jokes about President Donald Trump, but some are wondering how far he'll go on Oscar night.
"I haven't decided exactly how much I will dwell on that," Kimmel admitted to People recently. "A lot of it depends on what happens that week [before the show]."
Either way, he doesn't expect a shortage in content to comment on by the time the Oscars roll around at the end of February.
"There are one, sometimes three, new interesting stories coming out of the White House every day it seems - so who knows what will be happening?" he teased. "I just hope whatever is happening is light."
The first few weeks of Trump's presidency have been chaotic and divisive, with cabinet members resigning, tension on the Senate floor and the president himself now lashing out against the press. With the way things are going, even if Kimmel were to begin drafting topical jokes now, they may be old news at the end of the month.
"By the week before, I'll have 80 percent of it done probably and it'll just be a matter of finding out what is topical," he said. "I have a tendency to change things right at the last minute. You just want it to be as close to perfect as possible."
The Oscars will air live from coast to coast Sunday, Feb. 26 at 8:30 p.m. ET / 5:30 p.m. PT on ABC.

Auto-Brewery Syndrome is a rare medical condition that causes the body to produce ethanol, commonly known as alcohol, within the digestive system. This condition can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life, leading to various physical and psychological symptoms. In this article, we will explore the role of doctors in diagnosing and treating Auto-Brewery Syndrome, as well as the challenges that patients may face in finding the right healthcare provider.
Understanding Auto-Brewery Syndrome
What is Auto-Brewery Syndrome?
Auto-Brewery Syndrome, also known as gut fermentation syndrome, is a fascinating yet puzzling medical condition. It occurs when an overgrowth of yeast in the gut, typically Candida species, ferments carbohydrates and produces alcohol. This alcohol is then absorbed into the bloodstream, leading to elevated blood alcohol levels without the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Imagine a scenario where you feel intoxicated, even though you haven’t taken a single sip of alcohol. It may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but for individuals with Auto-Brewery Syndrome, this is their reality. The fermentation process that occurs in their gut turns everyday carbohydrates into alcohol, causing a range of symptoms and challenges.
While the exact prevalence of Auto-Brewery Syndrome is unknown, it is considered a rare condition. However, its impact on the lives of those affected can be significant, leading to confusion, frustration, and a constant need to explain their condition to others.
Symptoms of Auto-Brewery Syndrome
The symptoms of Auto-Brewery Syndrome can vary from mild to severe and may include chronic fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, mood swings, and even intoxication without drinking alcohol. These symptoms can significantly impact a person’s daily life, career, and relationships.
Imagine waking up in the morning feeling groggy and disoriented, as if you had a wild night of heavy drinking, even though you didn’t touch a drop of alcohol. This is the reality for individuals with Auto-Brewery Syndrome. The chronic fatigue they experience can make even the simplest tasks feel like climbing Mount Everest, leaving them constantly drained and struggling to keep up with the demands of daily life.
Brain fog, another common symptom, can make it challenging to concentrate, remember things, and make decisions. It’s like having a foggy windshield that blurs your vision and prevents you from seeing clearly. This cognitive impairment can be frustrating and impact a person’s ability to perform at work or school.
Dizziness and mood swings can also be debilitating symptoms of Auto-Brewery Syndrome. Imagine feeling lightheaded and unsteady on your feet, as if the ground beneath you is constantly shifting. These dizzy spells can come out of nowhere and make it difficult to maintain balance and stability.
Causes and Risk Factors
Although the exact causes of Auto-Brewery Syndrome are still being researched, certain conditions and factors may contribute to its development. These include a weakened immune system, antibiotic use, excessive carbohydrate intake, and an overgrowth of yeast in the gut. Individuals with diabetes, obesity, or other gastrointestinal disorders may also be at higher risk.
Auto-Brewery Syndrome is like a perfect storm brewing in the gut. A weakened immune system can allow the yeast to flourish, leading to an overgrowth that disrupts the delicate balance of the gut microbiota. Antibiotics, while helpful in fighting infections, can also inadvertently wipe out the beneficial bacteria in the gut, creating an environment where yeast can thrive.
Excessive carbohydrate intake provides the fuel for the yeast to ferment and produce alcohol. It’s like pouring gasoline on a fire, intensifying the fermentation process and exacerbating the symptoms of Auto-Brewery Syndrome. Individuals who consume a diet high in refined sugars and processed carbohydrates may be unknowingly feeding the yeast in their gut, perpetuating the cycle of alcohol production.
For those with diabetes, obesity, or other gastrointestinal disorders, the risk of developing Auto-Brewery Syndrome may be higher. These conditions can create an environment in the gut that is conducive to yeast overgrowth, further complicating the delicate balance of the digestive system.
Understanding the causes and risk factors of Auto-Brewery Syndrome is crucial in developing effective treatments and preventive strategies. By unraveling the mysteries behind this intriguing condition, researchers hope to provide relief and improve the quality of life for those affected.
The Role of Doctors in Treating Auto-Brewery Syndrome
Auto-Brewery Syndrome, also known as gut fermentation syndrome, is a rare and fascinating condition that has gained attention in recent years. It is a disorder in which the gut produces excessive amounts of alcohol, leading to symptoms similar to intoxication. While the diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome can be challenging, doctors who specialize in gastroenterology or functional medicine play a crucial role in helping patients manage their symptoms and regain control of their lives.
Diagnosis of Auto-Brewery Syndrome
Diagnosing Auto-Brewery Syndrome can be a complex process due to its rarity and the lack of awareness among healthcare professionals. However, doctors who have experience in recognizing and diagnosing this condition can make a significant difference in the lives of affected individuals. These specialized doctors possess extensive knowledge and expertise in the field of gastroenterology or functional medicine, allowing them to navigate through the complexities of this syndrome.
When a patient presents with symptoms suggestive of Auto-Brewery Syndrome, doctors will typically conduct a thorough medical history review and physical examination. These initial steps help in ruling out other potential causes of the symptoms and narrowing down the possibilities. To confirm the diagnosis, the patient may need to provide breath or blood samples to measure their alcohol levels. These tests play a crucial role in differentiating Auto-Brewery Syndrome from other conditions that may present with similar symptoms.
Treatment Options Available
Once diagnosed with Auto-Brewery Syndrome, treatment focuses on addressing the underlying causes, reducing the overgrowth of yeast, and restoring the balance of gut bacteria. This multifaceted approach aims to alleviate symptoms and improve the overall well-being of the patient.
One of the primary treatment strategies for Auto-Brewery Syndrome involves dietary changes. Patients may be advised to follow a low-carbohydrate and low-sugar diet to minimize the production of alcohol in the gut. This dietary modification helps create an environment that discourages the overgrowth of yeast and promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Additionally, doctors may recommend the use of antifungal medications or supplements to target and reduce the yeast overgrowth.
In some cases, doctors may prescribe antibiotics to combat the overgrowth of yeast and restore gut health. These medications can help rebalance the gut microbiome and promote a healthier environment in the digestive system. However, the use of antibiotics in treating Auto-Brewery Syndrome is a subject of ongoing research, and doctors carefully weigh the potential benefits and risks before making this decision.
The Importance of Follow-Up Care
Follow-up care plays a vital role in the management of Auto-Brewery Syndrome. It allows doctors to closely monitor the progress of the patient, manage symptoms effectively, and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. Regular check-ups and tests to measure alcohol levels are recommended to ensure that the treatment is working optimally and that the patient’s condition is improving.
Moreover, follow-up care provides an opportunity for doctors to offer ongoing support to individuals with Auto-Brewery Syndrome. This support can be instrumental in helping patients cope with the challenges posed by this condition and providing them with the necessary tools to regain control of their lives. Doctors may offer guidance on lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and strategies to prevent relapses.
In conclusion, doctors who specialize in gastroenterology or functional medicine play a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of Auto-Brewery Syndrome. Their expertise and knowledge enable them to navigate the complexities of this rare condition and provide patients with the necessary care and support. With their guidance, individuals with Auto-Brewery Syndrome can effectively manage their symptoms, improve their quality of life, and embark on a path to recovery.
Case Studies of Auto-Brewery Syndrome
Patient Stories and Experiences
Hearing firsthand accounts from individuals who have experienced Auto-Brewery Syndrome can offer valuable insights into the challenges they face. These personal stories provide a glimpse into the impact of the condition on their physical and mental well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life. Sharing these experiences can help raise awareness and foster a better understanding of the syndrome among both doctors and the general public.
One patient, Sarah, shared her story of living with Auto-Brewery Syndrome. She described how her life drastically changed after being diagnosed with the condition. Sarah explained the constant struggle of feeling intoxicated without consuming any alcohol and the confusion it caused among her friends and family. She spoke about the challenges she faced in maintaining relationships and how her mental health was affected by the syndrome. Sarah’s story shed light on the emotional toll that Auto-Brewery Syndrome can have on individuals and the importance of support systems in coping with the condition.
In another account, Mark shared how his experience with Auto-Brewery Syndrome led to a long and frustrating journey to get an accurate diagnosis. He described the numerous misdiagnoses he received, ranging from alcoholism to liver disease, before finally finding a doctor who recognized his symptoms as Auto-Brewery Syndrome. Mark’s story highlighted the challenges patients often face in seeking proper medical care for this rare condition and the need for increased awareness among healthcare providers.
Challenges in Diagnosis and Treatment
Due to the rarity and complexity of Auto-Brewery Syndrome, patients often face numerous challenges in getting an accurate diagnosis and finding effective treatment. These challenges include misdiagnosis, skepticism from healthcare providers, limited treatment options, and the need for multidisciplinary approaches. Overcoming these obstacles requires increased awareness, research, and collaboration among medical professionals.
One of the major challenges in diagnosing Auto-Brewery Syndrome is the lack of awareness among healthcare providers. Many doctors are unfamiliar with the condition, leading to misdiagnoses or dismissive attitudes towards patients’ symptoms. This skepticism can cause significant delays in receiving appropriate treatment and can leave patients feeling frustrated and invalidated.
Furthermore, the limited treatment options available for Auto-Brewery Syndrome pose another obstacle for patients. Currently, there is no standard treatment protocol for the condition, and approaches vary depending on individual cases. Some patients may benefit from dietary modifications, such as a low-carbohydrate or sugar-free diet, while others may require the use of antifungal medications or probiotics. However, finding the right treatment plan can be a trial-and-error process, adding to the frustration and uncertainty experienced by patients.
Additionally, the multidisciplinary nature of Auto-Brewery Syndrome necessitates collaboration among various medical professionals. Patients may require the expertise of gastroenterologists, nutritionists, psychologists, and other specialists to address the complex interplay of factors contributing to the condition. Coordinating care among these different disciplines can be challenging, especially when there is a lack of awareness and understanding of Auto-Brewery Syndrome within the medical community.
Overall, the challenges in diagnosing and treating Auto-Brewery Syndrome highlight the need for increased awareness, research, and collaboration among medical professionals. By sharing patient stories and experiences, raising awareness of the condition, and fostering a better understanding of its impact, we can work towards improving the lives of individuals living with Auto-Brewery Syndrome.
The Future of Auto-Brewery Syndrome Treatment
Ongoing Research and Developments
Medical researchers are actively studying Auto-Brewery Syndrome to better understand its underlying mechanisms and develop more targeted treatment approaches. Ongoing research focuses on identifying genetic factors, exploring the role of gut dysbiosis, and investigating potential interventions to modulate gut fermentation and reduce alcohol production.
Potential New Treatments on the Horizon
As our understanding of Auto-Brewery Syndrome continues to expand, promising new treatments may emerge. This includes novel antifungal agents, targeted probiotics, and therapies that promote gut health and restore a balanced microbial environment. These future developments hold the potential to enhance treatment outcomes and offer hope for individuals living with Auto-Brewery Syndrome.
Finding a Doctor for Auto-Brewery Syndrome
What to Look for in a Healthcare Provider
When seeking a doctor who specializes in Auto-Brewery Syndrome, it is essential to consider their experience, knowledge of the condition, and their holistic approach to healthcare. Look for healthcare providers who are open-minded, well-versed in functional medicine principles, and willing to collaborate with other specialists to provide comprehensive care.
Questions to Ask Your Doctor
Preparing a list of questions to ask your doctor can help you gain a better understanding of their approach to diagnosing and treating Auto-Brewery Syndrome. These questions may include asking about their previous experience with the condition, their treatment philosophy, and any additional lifestyle modifications or therapies they recommend.
Resources for Finding a Specialist
Due to the rarity of Auto-Brewery Syndrome, finding a specialist may require some effort and research. Online directories for functional medicine practitioners, gastroenterologists, or healthcare providers specializing in yeast overgrowth can be helpful resources. Additionally, reaching out to patient support groups or online communities dedicated to Auto-Brewery Syndrome may provide valuable recommendations and personal experiences.
In conclusion, Auto-Brewery Syndrome is a complex medical condition that requires a multidisciplinary approach for diagnosis and treatment. Doctors who specialize in gastroenterology, functional medicine, or yeast overgrowth can play a pivotal role in helping individuals with this syndrome regain control of their lives. As awareness and research continue to grow, we can look forward to improved understanding, enhanced treatment options, and better support for those living with Auto-Brewery Syndrome.

Connecting with the city life
Certain coincidences occur when we walk through the city, when we come across people we do not know, only grasping their superficial features or way of moving. It is this urban rhythm complemented by the landscape of buildings and their program that shapes the city, generating a sensorial image in our minds.
An acausal relationship between city life and what is built. Syncronicity explores this content relationship at nighttime, when the building communicates through dynamic light, adapting to the rhythm of the city through a content of light including organic movements that synchronize in a new way with the life of the city, offering then a symbolic value to it.


Seems Mitt Romney didn’t forget his flip-flops. Maybe he’s planning to visit some nice beaches in London. Who knows. But on his first official visit to tout his foreign experience, Mitt Romney neatly placed his foot in his mouth… again.
In a matter of 24 hours, Mitt’s yellow flip-flops were flopping all over the London Bridge, as he tried desperately to turn back the hands of time and take back a statement he made about London being unprepared for the Olympics.
We would not be surprised to see a shoe thrown in Mitt’s direction before his apology tour is over. No, we won’t be surprised at all.

As of Friday, May 12, 2017
TONASKET – North Valley Hospital leaders are urging local residents to contact state and federal representatives about the looming closure of the district’s VA clinic.
“The Spokane VA Medical Center (SVAMC) has decided they will not be assigning a new multi-year contract because they cannot adequately compensate for the extensive care to be provided to our veterans under the current contract,” hospital spokeswoman Mikaela Marion said Friday morning...

LAKE PLACID — The town of North Elba was awarded $500,000 in federal funding on Thursday to create a housing repair assistance program that will grant loans to local homeowners for home repairs they normally wouldn’t be able to afford.
The program, federally-funded through the state’s Community Development Block Grant program, will be open to eligible residents in both the town and the village of Lake Placid. The town submitted its application requesting the grant in October.
Essex County already has a similar housing program in place, the Housing Assistance Program of Essex County. Community Development Director Haley Breen worked on North Elba’s application alongside HAPEC’s community development director, Angel Marvin, who worked on a similar grant application in Hamilton County. Breen said she’ll continue to work with HAPEC to administer grants once the town receives the funds and gets guidance from the state Office of Community Renewal on next steps.
Hopefully, Breen said, the town could start helping with home improvements in a couple of months.
Right now, the town has more than 20 applications from residents requesting funding for housing repairs. Breen said those applications will be considered when the town administers grants. She said people can still submit applications for this funding cycle, but with the amount of applicants the town has already received, she said not all are guaranteed housing repair assistance. It’s good to have more applications on file though, Breen said, because the town could apply for another round of CDBG funding in the future.
When it comes to criteria for who’s eligible to receive repairs, Breen said the town will consider the income, need and age of those applying. She said the goal is to be as fair and objective as possible, and to look for homes where the funding could make the biggest impact.
Single-family homeowners who make less than 80% of the area’s average income, which varies depending on the size of the household, would be eligible for the town’s program. For example, a two-person household would have to make less than $46,350 a year to qualify, and a four-person household would have to make less than $57,900 a year to qualify.
Landlords could also apply, but to be eligible at least 51% of their units would have to contain households that make less than 80% of the AAI.
The grant is awarded to homeowners in the form of a loan from the town. The town’s loan would span across five years for each household. As long as homeowners don’t move out in those five years, they won’t be responsible for interest charges or monthly payments, and they won’t owe any money at the end of that period.
If a homeowner moves before the five year loan period ends, they may be responsible for paying back a portion of the loan. As soon as the five years are up, a homeowner can move out, according to Breen.
Eligible homeowners could use the loans to repair heating, electrical and plumbing issues, water lines and well pumps, roofs and gutters, chimneys and foundations, insulation and necessary room additions in overcrowded homes.
Cosmetic fixes like wallpaper, decorative fixtures, driveways and walkways won’t be eligible for funding. Right now, mobile homeowners aren’t eligible to apply for repair assistance.

Merci beaucoup José, Ayna and José for a wonderful day. They took us to the famous Rue Moufftarde and treated us to the best crèpe in Paris. Then we walked to the nearby Grande Mosquée de Paris, founded in 1926 as a token of gratitude to the Muslin tirailleurs, 100,000 of whom died in WWI defending against the Germans. Next we were taken to a tea room for hot sweet mint tea and delicious pastries. Our final destination was the famous Les Arènes de Lutèce, an ancient Roman arena where gladiators fought in the 1st century AD.

When I was younger I would cry a lot; almost any sort of physical pain or emotional trauma would bring in the tears. Growing up with a set of stern and traditionally-enforcing parents led me to fear these tears. Not because I believed what they had taught me, that crying was not something a man does, but because I felt the pressure to be something I clearly was not. I know this is something that many across the world face, to be forced into adulthood when you are not ready. When someone says that “men do not cry” I get a sense that the person saying this has some deep-rooted issue with that very saying.
I believe that to truly be a man, one must be in touch and aware of every piece of themselves. To cast out the very first aspect of life, to try to eliminate the emotion in our heart, is to make an attempt to be seen as powerful. But how can someone be truly powerful as not just a man but as a human being when you ignore the very heart and soul that drives us as humans? In my mind, a man is someone who is aware that crying is not a sign of weakness or vulnerability, but rather is a statement of joy, of love, of pain; it is the most basic form of how to express what lies within one’s heart. It is okay to cry when you are hurt, it is okay to cry at loss, to have tears of joy. It is especially okay to cry when you are young, because at that time you have yet to experience much at all. It is only with the passage of time and terror and turmoil that can lessen all of these tears. I believe a true man, any true warrior, has reached a point in their lives where they understand when they may cry and know that, through their experiences, they can channel their emotions in different ways.
To cry is to show strength, to cry is to show that you understand what you feel and need to release your emotions. To not cry is to show weakness, a lack of trust in yourself to be able to express something through tears that words cannot. I can attest that while I haven’t cried in years, perhaps a decade; I know that I have at times wanted to dearly. It is with much pain and rage and fear in my own heart that I can say with confidence that tears are necessary, crying is necessary and understanding when and why to cry is so important to becoming a full and complete human being.
