OKEMOS – A $60 million development combining apartment units, an indoor farmers-type market and various businesses is back on track at Meridian Township’s southern limits.
The proposed development, called Okemos Pointe, will be located just west of the Meridian Crossing commercial area at Okemos and Jolly roads. Plans call for 19 apartment buildings, a mixed-use structure and the repurposing of two existing buildings.
The whole thing will be tied into Meridian’s pathways system, and that excites Brent Forsberg, who is president of T.A. Forsberg Inc., the Okemos-based real estate firm developing the property.
Forsberg said he anticipates a ground-breaking around the end of September, with the first apartments ready for leasing by the summer of 2017.
There will be 19 three-story apartment buildings, with residences also included in other structures. There will be up to 390 units in all, Forsberg said, covering 37 acres but the developers will start out with about 120 “core” units and expand from there.
Apartments will have one to three bedrooms.
Along with the apartment buildings, an existing building that T.A. Forsberg owns at 2362 Jolly Oak will be converted into an “Okemos Pointe Market Place.” Kieselbach said vendors will be able to sell items such as fruit and produce, baked items, canned goods and crafts.
Forsberg expects a 2018 opening for the market.
T.A. Forsberg’s offices, also on Jolly Road, would be moved to a mezzanine in the market building, he said.
Another existing building, at 2398 Jolly Road, will be for various commercial ventures. The Cancun Mexican Grill and Woody’s Oasis are there now, but four other suites are unoccupied. Forsberg said developers are looking at a health-food retailer or possibly a food business incubator taking up shop.
Plans also call for a mixed-use structure in another existing building to the immediate north.

If you love pugs, you’re definitely in the right place! But even if you’re not here for the theme, there’s still a lot on offer. Spin Pug is home to not only an amazing selection of slots and jackpots, but also a truly impressive live casino offering featuring all of the classic casino games and more. Throw in regular promotions and the chance to become a VIP player, and you really couldn’t ask for more in a top live casino site.
Spin Pug holds a license in Curacao, makes use of encryption technology to protect your data, and places a strong focus on responsible gaming. All of these work together to ensure that you can enjoy your favourite games in a totally safe and secure environment.
|Good selection of live dealer games and tables||No welcome offer for live casino players|
|Attractive welcome bonus|
Spin Pug offers a big welcome bonus of 500% up to $100 when you deposit $20 or more. In addition, as a special sign-up offer, you’ll get 50 free spins without even needing to make a deposit. Unfortunately, the bonus is not able to be used on live casino games, so it’s only really worth claiming if you’re someone who loves the best online pokies and if you do, be sure to check the T&Cs before making the deposit, as there are wagering requirements of 50x attached. We’d definitely like to see a welcome bonus for live casino players added in the near future.
Most of the promotions and offers at Spin Pug are geared towards pokies players, but it’s definitely worth keeping an eye out for some promotions that might interest you. You can do this by regularly checking the “Rewards” tab on the site, or signing up for marketing emails so that offers will be delivered straight to your inbox. These offers include match bonuses on your second, third and fourth deposits, cash back offers, free spins and special tournaments where wagering on specific games could see you taking home huge prizes.
Most of the live casino games you could think of are available at Spin Pug. This includes the casino classics, as well as some more modern favourites.
Roulette players have a lot to look forward to - have a go at one of the variations like European Roulette, Lightning Roulette, or Hippodrome Roulette, all by Evolution Gaming, or try out a different provider and opt for a game of Galaxy Auto Roulette (XProGaming), or Namaste Roulette (Ezugi). Fans of the best live blackjack sites can enjoy Speed Blackjack or Diamond Blackjack, alongside more exotic options like White Russian Blackjack and Turkish Blackjack at Spin Pug Live Casino.
Baccarat is also a popular option at Spin Pug, with multiple providers offering variations like Super 6 Baccarat and Speed Baccarat. There’s also Dragon Tiger, Andar Bahar, Lucky 5, Lucky 6 and Lucky 7, and Teen Patti.
If you’re more into gameshows, you can try out Mega Ball, Cash or Crash, or Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt, which is a super interactive game, based on the popular Gonzo’s Quest slot game.
It’s safe to say that the great variety of live dealer tables ensures that you can easily find one that has the right betting limits for you. In general, the gameshows have the lowest limits, with some of them starting as low as 10c a go. The upper limits vary a little depending on the game, with most going up to a couple of hundred dollars.
Roulette is another one where the limits can start low - if you’re someone who enjoys the best live roulette sites and you’re looking to start around the 10c mark, we suggest going for auto roulette. The prestige tables start a little higher and the prive table starts the stakes the highest of all, with the lower limit being several hundred dollars. Most of the tables go up to about four figures, with some of the high roller tables going up to five figures. There are almost 20 roulette tables, so you’ll never need to worry about finding a place to play.
Blackjack lower limits start a little higher, with tables available for between $1 and $5 to start with. There are several VIP tables where the stakes start much higher and a couple of prive tables where it’s just you and the dealer - these are where the stakes start the highest, at several hundred dollars. Upper limits for blackjack range from four to five figures. There are almost 50 blackjack tables at Spin Pug Live Casino, so this is definitely the premier offering.
The majority of the live casino games at Spin Pug are by Evolution Gaming. If you have played at some of the best Evolution casinos before, you probably know that they are by far the biggest name in the business, so you’re guaranteed that they offer the very best selection of games as well as highly professional dealers, HD graphics, real-time streaming and the chance to win some big payouts. There are also a few games by smaller studios like BetGamesTV, Ezugi and XProGaming, so it’s good to see that extra bit of variety.
You might think that a highly-themed site like Spin Pug could have a bit of a confusing user experience, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. The Spin Pug site is very visually appealing and eye-catching, but it’s also super easy to navigate - your balance is always displayed at the top of the screen when you’re logged in, and getting help, accessing your account section or visiting the cashier can be done with just a few clicks. Then, head on over to the live casino section to find your favourite live games.
On the Spin Pug Live Casino page, you can either browse all of the top games or use the search function to find your chosen one. The best thing to do is enter the lobby for the game provider and this is where you can view all of the table options, broken down into categories like roulette, blackjack, baccarat and gameshows. In the lobby you’ll also be able to see a preview of the dealer, as well as the betting limits and number of players currently at the table.
Once you’ve taken your seat at the table, you can customise your experience with settings like sound effects and video quality. We definitely recommend playing with HD video as this feels just like playing at a traditional casino. Some tables also have different options for views of the table and in some instances you can play at more than one table at a time and split your screen to keep track of all the action.
At the moment, Spin Pug doesn’t have an app, but don’t let that put you off playing on the go. After all, many top online mobile casinos don’t need an app because their mobile browser versions are so good. You can simply visit the Spin Pug website using your usual browser on your mobile phone or tablet and log in the same way you would on the desktop site. Then you’ll be ready to select your chosen table and you can still look forward to HD graphics and real-time streaming. Play in landscape mode to get the full effect.
While the VIP offer at Spin Pug is called “VIP Cashback”, there’s a whole lot more that goes into it! There are several different VIP levels and as you work your way up the ladder from the first level (Rookie), you’ll find that the perks get even better! You can look forward to special treats like exclusive free spins, cash back and more promotions, as well as VIP tournaments, access to merchandise and even a dedicated VIP account manager.
Spin Pug offers most of the standard responsible gaming features that you’d expect to find at trusted online casinos, and these can be used by slots players and live casino players alike. If you’d like to set limits on your play (deposits or losses), you can do this by getting in touch with the customer support team - they can also help you restrict access to your account for a specified period of time. Alternatively, there is an option to use these features directly from your account section. Additionally, you can visit the responsible gaming section via the footer of the site for a self-assessment questionnaire and links to helpful external organisations.
We’re no strangers to online casinos making use of a cute mascot, but we do have to say that this one is extra fun! Plus, in addition to the unique theme, there’s a lot going for Spin Pug. From amazing promotions, to the chance to become a VIP player, your experience here will be far from boring! Plus there’s friendly customer support and a strong focus on responsible gaming, so that you can sit back, relax and enjoy your favourite live casino games with absolute peace of mind.
Overall, we can definitely recommend Spin Pug as an excellent option for live casino players in New Zealand - whether you’re a table game aficionado or you’re just starting out.Visit Spinpug Live Casino

A bad bite can lead to problems as minor as a cosmetically unattractive smile and as major as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). Orthodontists have been working to fix bad bites for as long as orthodontic dentistry has existed, and there are a number of different ways to correct one. From braces to reconstructive dentistry, there is plenty that can be done to turn a bad bite into a good one, relieving tension in the mouth and face and putting the jaw into its ideal position.
But forget the solutions to a bad bite — what causes one? A recent study has led researchers to a new theory.
Childhood Stress Could Affect Bite
Plenty of research has already shown that the first 1,000 days after conception strongly influences that person’s life expectancy and whether or not they will be at risk of chronic disease. In general, researchers look for low weight as a good indicator of stress during those first 1,000 days. A low birth weight can suggest poor nutrition during pregnancy, which can create the early life stress that links with lower life expectancy and higher risk of chronic illness.
However, when you near the 300-day mark in that 1,000 day period — which is around when a child is born — low weight ceases to be a reliable marker. So how can early life stress be measured after that first 300 days? Researchers from the University of Washington have identified a new marker: Asymmetry in the lower half of the face.
Anthropologists have long seen skull and tooth asymmetry as a marker of environmental stress in historical populations. However, it’s rare for that same understanding to be applied to modern patients. This asymmetry is easily displayed in the bite: A dentist can note such a thing in a quick exam, making it not just a longer-lasting indicator of early life stress than low birth weight, but also a far easier one to identify.
The researchers at the University of Washington examined data from over 6,600 12- to 17-year-olds who participated in a survey from 1966 to 1970. From this data, researchers found that 25% of the adolescents involved suffered from the asymmetry that they were looking for. Researchers determined that this asymmetry correlated with increased prevalence of diabetes and obesity.
Do You Have a Bad Bite?
Regardless of the cause of your bad bite, the consequences can be anything from inconvenient to life-changing. A bad bite can not only result in pain or discomfort from everyday actions like eating, but can also result in TMJ, a disorder that, if untreated, can lead to pain throughout the body and can even require surgery to resolve.
Luckily, a bad bite is fairly simple to correct. Your dentist can examine your bite and suggest the best way to correct it. That way may be as simple as treatments with a TENS unit, a sort of electric massage that relaxes the jaw muscles, or could require orthodontics or even reconstructive dentistry.
If you think you may have a bad bite in Columbia, South Carolina, call (803) 781-9090 or contact Smile Columbia Dentistry online to schedule an appointment.

The UNFCU Foundation presented Francine A. LeFrak, social entrepreneur and women's rights advocate, with its 2019 Women's Empowerment Award. The award presentation was part of the annual fundraising reception hosted by UNFCU Foundation.
In 2019, the Francine A. LeFrak Foundation collaborated with the UNFCU Foundation to strengthen the Income Building Program offered by Win (Women in Need). Win is the largest provider of shelter and services to women and children in New York City. The two foundations introduced the Francine A. LeFrak Computer Training Program at Win in Harlem. In addition to computer training, Win's Income Building Program offers employment counseling, financial education, interview preparedness, and resume writing. Since January 2019, more than 50 women arriving from the Bronx, Queens, and Harlem have graduated from the computer training program in Harlem; 40% have already found higher-wage jobs.
“We are proud to work alongside the Francine LeFrak Foundation and Win in New York City,” said Pamela Agnone, president and director of the UNFCU Foundation. “Together, we have increased our impact in providing women with the skills and confidence to succeed. Through their determination to complete the program, graduates have created the path to transform the lives of their families.”
Watch this video to learn more about how Win's Income Building Program is changing lives.
“The greatest philanthropy is the dignity of work,” said Ms. LeFrak, who has addressed each Income Building Program graduation class at Win. “I am honored by UNFCU Foundation's Women's Empowerment Award and draw inspiration from the courageous women in the Income Building Program. Through their own efforts, our graduates are rising out of poverty.”
“To move out of shelter and break the cycle of homelessness, women need stable, good-paying jobs,” said Christine C. Quinn, president and CEO of Win. “The Francine A. LeFrak Computer Training Program has equipped Win moms with the technical skills they need to build their careers. We're so grateful to Francine A. LeFrak for her commitment to lifting women out of poverty and for UNFCU Foundation's support. We look forward to building on our partnerships to help families thrive.”
The project at Win was one of 14 initiatives the UNFCU Foundation supported in 2019. In receiving the UNFCU Foundation Women's Empowerment Award, Ms. LeFrak joins past honorees:
- Cynthia Davis, Director of Community Outreach, the Floating Hospital
- Dr. Erin Anastasi, Coordinator for the UNFPA-led Campaign to End Fistula
- Ritu Sharma, author and advocate for gender equality
- Sheryl WuDunn, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and humanitarian, and
- Madame Ban Soon-taek, the former First Lady of the United Nations, who was honored in 2015 for her lifetime of service
Francine A. LeFrak is the president of the Francine A. LeFrak Foundation. The organization supports hospitals, as well as institutions of higher learning and culture. She is also the founder and president of the Same Sky Foundation Fund, a trade initiative for survivors of the Rwandan genocide. Same Sky continues in the United States with women recently released from prison. Through her foundations, Ms. LeFrak has helped hundreds of women and girls obtain access to job training programs and education.
She received the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, UN Women for Peace, and the UN Women Together awards. Ms. LeFrak holds Honorary Doctorates from Mount Ida College and Manhattanville College in New York.

Finally got around to posting some photos from this year’s club sail aboard the historic scow schooner Alma. This event took place on Thursday, August 3, 2017.
If you take a look in the Model Gallery, you will notice a number of additions. Check out the Dragoon and the Dorade, both by Paul Reck. But, there are a lot of other interesting models by the membership to inspire you.
All the images shown are of models built (or restored) by club members. I’m now working to get more photo contributions from the Hyde Street Pier Model Shipwrights membership.
All photos are from currently active members. Come join us and provide photos of your completed model and we’ll post them!
On Thursday, March 2nd, members of the Hyde Street Pier Model Shipwrights got an opportunity to tour the facility where all the big stuff belonging to the San Francisco Maritime National Park are stored. The trip was set up and organized by Paul Reck and R. Karnell of the Park Service, who gave the tour.
This was a rare and unique opportunity to see what’s stored away in the enormous San Leandro warehouse. Some of it was there in preparation for use at Hyde Street Pier, like the C.A. Thayer’s and Balclutha’s spars. Other items were there waiting for restoration. Other’s still were just being stored there to protect them from deterioration, in the hopes that they will be displayed or worked on at some time in the future.
The next meeting of the Hyde Street Pier Model Shipwrights is coming up quickly, Saturday, February 18th aboard the ferryboat Eureka.
Naturally, the sunny weather we’ve been enjoying in the San Francisco Bay area is coming to an end, and the forecasts call for a couple days of rain. However, they show a break in the weather on the weekend. Let’s hope they’re correct!
In the meantime, here’s the latest issue of the Hyde Street Pier Model Shipwrights Newsletter for February for your reading enjoyment.
Note that we’ve got an outing coming up on March 2nd to the Maritime Museum off-site storage facility where we’ll see LOTS of stuff not normally accessible to the public. Now’s a good time to join the club!
For all those would-be blog followers who have a hard time dealing with our WordPress URL: hspms.wordpress.com, there’s good news! As of now, this site is officially HSPMS.ORG.
After having to deal way too many times with club members asking the question, “What’s our web address again?” we spent a little money to upgrade our site. New, simpler address, more storage space, and no more goofy ads!
This is still a WordPress site, so you can still follow it like any WordPress blog, and you can still reach it using the old URL, so no need to worry about broken links. Pass the word and the address along to your ship modeler friends – now it’s easy! Ω
The new newsletter has been posted on our Meeting Notes page, which you can always access from the menubar above. But, to make things easy, here’s a link to the pdf document for your reading enjoyment.
Feel free to pass this along to anyone who might be interested in reading it.
Happy ship modeling!
Saturday, January 21st, will be the first meeting of 2017 for the Hyde Street Pier Model Shipwrights. It’s a new year, and getting together with fellow ship modelers is a great way to start!
The weather is certainly questionable, so I’m hoping many of us will be able to attend with their projects to finish out the year, wish each other happy holidays, and get us ready and inspired to start the new ship modeling year!
However, to help entice members to attend and to celebrate the start of the new ship modeling year, the club will be providing free coffee and pastries. So, bring those projects, warm up with coffee and treats, and spend a little time with your ship modeling cohorts!
As always, guests are welcome. Meeting takes place in the model shop aboard the ferryboat Eureka at 9:30am. If the Park gate is closed, simply let yourself in.
See you there!

Martin Shkreli arrested by FBI over hedge fund investigation
Pharmaceuticals entrepreneur held in investigation into his time at MSMB Capital Management and at Retrophin.
Controversial pharmaceutical entrepreneur Martin Shkreli, the man recently dubbed “the most hated man in America”, has been arrested by the FBI and charged with “widespread fraudulent conduct”.
Agents from the FBI arrested the 32-year-old hedge fund manager turned drug boss at his apartment in Manhattan on Thursday morning. He left in a gray hooded sweatshirt, his hands cuffed behind his back.
Shkreli, who is now chief executive of Turing Pharmaceuticals, was charged with wire and securities fraud stemming from his time as manager of the hedge fund MSMB Capital Management and chief executive of biopharmaceutical company Retrophin.
Evan Greebel, a corporate lawyer at attorney Kaye Scholer, was also arrested and accused of helping Shkreli.
United States attorney Robert Capers of the Eastern District of New York accused Shkreli of operating a Ponzi scheme that had cost investors more than $11m. “The charges announced today describe a securities fraud trifecta of lies, deceit, and greed. As charged, Martin Shkreli targeted investors and retained their business by making several misrepresentations and omissions about key facts of the funds he managed,” Capers said.
Shkreli, who has previously denied these allegations, faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
The charges do not relate to a continuing but separate controversy that turned Shkreli into a lightning rod for the soaring prices of prescription drugs.
Shkreli gained notoriety in September after it was revealed that Turing Pharmaceuticals had raised the price of Daraprim, a drug used to treat parasitic infections, from $13.50 a pill to $750 overnight.
Turing Pharmaceuticals had acquired Daraprim, a drug first developed in the 1940s, a month earlier. The news led to a congressional hearing after politicians including Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump attacked the price rise.
Clinton called the price rise outrageous and promised a clampdown on drug companies. Trump said: “He looks like a spoiled brat to me. He’s a hedge fund guy. I thought it was disgusting what he did.”
Shkreli started Retrophin in 2011 and was later ousted as chief executive officer and sued by its board. In lawsuits filed in New York Shkreli has been accused of insider trading and making “materially false and misleading statements” that “artificially inflated” the company’s stock price.
He has previously denied any wrongdoing at Retrophin, in a message on a pharma news bulletin board.
According to an indictment Shkreli is accused of misleading prospective investors in MSMB in order to induce them to invest. Shkreli is alleged to have further deceived investors about the fund’s performance, leading them to think they had earned huge profits when in fact they had lost money.
Federal prosecutors charge that Shrekli sought to pay back MSMB’s investors with cash and stock from Retrophin. The Securities and Exchange Commission has also brought charges against the executive.
According to the indictment in an email, subject line “MSMB Capital Management Performance Estimate”, Shkreli boasted to an investor that as of 23 July 2010, MSMB had “returned +35.77% since inception on 11/1/2009.” In fact, the indictment alleges, at that point MSMB had generated losses of about 18%.
Shkreli told the same investor that MSMB has $35m of assets under managment in December 2010, according to the indictment MSMB had “less than $1,000 in assets” at the time.
Last week the Brooklyn-born entrepreneur was revealed to be the buyer of the sole copy of rap act Wu-Tang Clan’s super exclusive 2014 album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. Shkreli paid Wu-Tang Clan $2m to own the one-off album. The band has since decided to give “a significant portion of the proceeds to charity”.

Texas will be without an offensive starter for the entire 2017 season.
The Longhorns announced Wednesday that tight end Andrew Beck will undergo surgery for a fractured foot later this week. The injury will keep the senior out for the year.
Beck was injured last week but coach Tom Herman initially wasn’t sure how long he would be out. Beck has a history of foot injuries, and missed part of spring practice with a similar injury. Herman said the most recent injury was “non-contact” and happened while Beck was running routes.
The injury is a pretty big hit for the Longhorns, who are thin at tight end. Beck is by far the team’s most-experienced player at the position. Though he hasn’t been much of a factor in the passing game with just 12 career receptions, Beck has appeared in 37 career games, including 16 starts.
Beyond Beck, there’s not much experience aside from Kendall Moore, a graduate transfer from Syracuse with 15 career receptions. The Longhorns also have two true freshmen at the position: Cade Brewer and Reese Leitao. Leitao, a four-star recruit, is suspended for the first two games of the season because of an offseason arrest. Garrett Gray, a junior who has appeared in 10 career games, should also see some playing time.
Beck has yet to use his redshirt, so he will be able to return to UT in 2018. He could also petition the NCAA for a medical redshirt in order to regain his lost season.
Texas, in its first season under Herman, open the 2017 season at home against Maryland on Sept. 2.

Few plants in recent years have seen as many new introductions with such dazzling new colors as Heuchera. These refined, well-behaved plants offer both attractive bell-shaped blossoms and handsome evergreen foliage. Slender, wiry, 1- to 212 feet stems bear loose clusters of nodding flowers that are typically no more than 18 inches across. These dainty blooms, which often lack petals, make an interesting and long-lasting addition to arrangements; they also attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. Colors include carmine, crimson, red, coral, rose, pink, greenish, pale yellow, and white. Most bloom in spring and late summer, and some continue into fall. Leaves are roundish, with scalloped or ruffled edges; colors run the gamut from yellow and orange to red, purple, and brown. Most recent introductions are grown more for fancy foliage than for flowers.
Use Heuchera in combination with other perennials in mixed borders; try them in rock gardens and in sweeping masses. Selections with light-colored foliage can brighten a shady spot. All excel in containers, actually growing better than in the ground in most cases.
- Diverse group of hybrids between Heuchera sanguinea and other species.
- To 1212 feet tall, 1112 feet wide, with spring or summer bloom.
- Lipstick has dark red flowers; its green leaves are heavily mottled with silver.
- A seed-grown strain called Bressingham Hybrids offers flowers in white and shades of pink and red.
- Other seed-grown types include 'Firefly' ('Leuchtkfer'), with fragrant bells in fiery scarlet; 'Freedom', profuse rosy pink blooms; 'Ruby Bells', red flowers; and 'Bressingham White', long-blooming white.
- Cutting-grown types include 'June Bride', large pure white blossoms; 'Snow Angel', deep reddish pink flowers above white-variegated foliage.
- The following selections have been selected for their marvelously colored and sometimes ruffled foliage.
- Some have as a parent Heuchera americana, a species from the central U.S. with marbled and veined leaves up to 4 inches across.
- Many newer hybrids involve Heuchera villosa, a large-leafed native to the mid-Southern U.S. and thus quite tolerant of heat and humidity.
- Both form mounds of foliage 812 inches high and 1216 inches wide.
- Tiny summer flowers are held on thin stalks to 23 feet high and are white to cream unless otherwise noted.
- Dark purple to maroon leaves.
- Compact mound of glossy, nearly black foliage.
- Large, chocolate-brown leaves.
- Leaves emerge dusky red and mature through apricot tones to golden yellow.
- Highly recommended.
- Leaves are chartreuse to bright lemon-yellow.
- Vigorous grower once established.
- Deep red, ruffled leaves, fading to gray-green in summer.
- Large roundish leaves with golden-green edges and red centers.
- Large lime-green leaves with red veining.
- Leaves emerge peachy orange and age through red tones to rosy purple; dark veins and a silvery sheen.
- Heat tolerant and vigorous.
- Vigorous grower.
- Leaves are chocolate-brown above, deep purple beneath; turn nearly black in sun.
- Foliage deepest burgundy, nearly black, with glossy sheen.
- Bright peach-colored leaves turn plum in winter.
- Heat tolerant.
- Leaves emerge ginger with a silver overlay, aging to rose tones; undersides are deep purple.
- New growth is black-purple, developing a strong silvery overlay and black veins as it matures.
- Lime-green to chartreuse foliage.
- Fresh-looking all season.
- Very large (9 inches.) leaves are peachy orange when new, taking on copper and amber tones as they age.
- Vigorous and heat tolerant.
- Highly recommended for the South.
- Vigorous grower with lightly ruffled, silvery leaves with purple highlights.
- Leaves emerge chartreuse with a large central area of red, which fades as the season progresses.
- In fall, center turns burgundy while edges remain chartreuse.
- Late blooming.
- Native to California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho.
- Adapts easily to garden conditions.
- Long-stalked, roundish, gray-green, 1- to 3 inches-wide leaves are toothed and lobed, hairy on both sides.
- Late- spring to early-summer flowers are whitish or greenish, about 18 inches long, carried in loose clusters on leafy, 2- to 3 feet stems.
- Hybrid forms developed from Heuchera micrantha are more adaptable than the species.
- Ruffles has green leaves that are deeply lobed and ruffled around the edges.
- Palace Purple has maplelike, rich brownish or purplish leaves that retain their color year-round if given adequate sunlight
- Native to New Mexico and Arizona.
- Round, 1- to 2 inches leaves with scalloped edges form neat foliage tufts.
- From spring into summer, slender, wiry, 1- to 2 feet stems bear open clusters of nodding, bell-shaped, bright red or coral-pink flowers.
- Selections include 'Carmen' (deep brick-red flowers), 'Chatterbox' (rosy coral), 'Gaiety' (coral-pink), and 'White Cloud' (pure white).
- These selections display red flowers above variegated foliage: 'Cherry Splash' (white and gold variegation), 'Snowstorm' (bright white), and 'Frosty' (silvery).
- All of these require perfect drainage.
hairy alum root
- Native from Virginia to Georgia and Tennessee, with high tolerance for heat and humidity.
- Both foliage and flowers are softly hairy.
- Tooth-edged green leaves to 5 inches across have triangular lobes, form a mound 1122 feet high and wide.
- White to pinkish blossoms on stems to 3 feet tall appear late in the season, near the end of summer.
- Autumn Bride has green leaves and white flowers.
- Purpurea features deep purple foliage and white blossoms.
These plants require well-drained soil containing lots of organic matter, such as compost. Divide clumps every 2 to 3 years in spring or fall. Replant vigorous rooted divisions; discard older, woody portions. Can also be started from dust-like seed sown in spring. Watch out for mealybugs, which sometimes infest plants near the base and even on the roots; control with regular applications of insecticidal soap. Black vine weevils can cause much damage; look for notched leaf edges in summer and C-shaped white grubs below the soil line in fall and winter. These grubs chew through the base of the plant (detached crowns can be rerooted in fresh soil). Scalding water poured over the grubs is a good organic control. Rust may occur; remove and dispose of infected leaves.

Mobile ads are an important part of any digital marketing strategy. After all, the majority of users are spending more time on mobile than desktop these days.However, a new study from Forrester Consulting claims that approximately $0.55 of every dollar spent on mobile advertising goes to waste, and as mobile ad experts, the PBJ Marketing team has to ask, “How is this possible?”According to the report, the $0.55 figure is based on a self-assessment of brands regarding their mobile campaigns. The most common consumer complaints included ads obscuring content, irrelevant ads, and ads failing to load correctly.Roughly 66% of brand advertisers surveyed feel that at least half of their mobile advertisements don't successfully achieve their goals, which are most commonly: to increase brand awareness, to improve brand engagement, and increase brand favorability.To get the most out of mobile ads while continuing to deliver the desired consumer experience, minimize disruptive ad formats and give priority to video ads. Also, real-time and contextual targeting are becoming more important to that broad-sweeping demographic/audience targeting.

Edit Blog Post
Published: April 30th 2011
We had decided on a route for the last area of South Island before heading across the Cook Strait to North. We weren’t really sure how long we were going to be spending anywhere or how long it would take us so we weren’t going to book the ferry until we actually knew what we were doing!! So we headed off towards Nelson. Along the way we took the scenic drive around Ruby Bay rather than head along the main state highway. It wasn’t quite the scenic route we were expecting - there was some really great views across the sea but we weren’t driving next to the sea the whole time which was a little disappointed. We headed onto Rabbit Island which is connected to the mainland by one road only. it’s a conservation area and you are not allowed on it over night or after sunset as the road gets closed off!! Basically it is a great big picnic area with loads of BBQs and a really long beach. It was another beautifully sunny day and you would expect the beach to be packed - but it wasn’t. That has been a theme on all the beaches we’ve been
on - they don’t get overly busy. I think that may have something to do with the lack of population and the number of sandy beaches. Also that kiwi’s don’t seem to sunbathe as there isn’t too much need. The sun is ferocious when its out and you can get burnt really easily - well I can anyway!!
After leaving Rabbit Island we headed back on the main state highway and towards Nelson. We didn’t stay long in Nelson as it is one huge city with a harbour and port. After visiting the I-site we were a little undecided on where we were heading next except that it would be up the sounds somewhere! On the way to the sounds we took a detour to Cable Bay with a view to staying there for the night. When we got there we were surprised how small it was. So after I had a nap in the van and Mark watched the sea come into the bay, we headed up the sounds. There was a DOC site that had been recommended to us y another traveller so we headed straight there. Elaine Bay is about 20 KM down a steep and
windy track, but it at least had tarmac!! There was nothing else in the bay except a few houses and the camp site. There was a jetty there that I spent most of my time sitting on watching the stingray that were gliding back and forth underneath it. At one point there was at least 5 or 6 around there. The water was really clear and I spotted loads of starfish as well. The following morning we decided to head up to the end of the track to the DOC site at French Pass. We had to back track a little and take a turn off from where we were at Elaine Bay. Once we turned off it was gravel road for the next 22 kms to the campsite. Luckily it wasn’t that steep or too windy but it was high up and on the edge of the hill!! It was really narrow and some of the locals travelled fairly fast as they know the roads so had its scary moments!! It was a lovely scenic drive and took about an hour to do the 22 kms, but it was definitely worth the drive. French Pass is a small village
with a school and a shop and a few houses. It is also the gateway from D’urville island as you can only reach it by water taxi, so the Jetty is quite long and fairly substantial. A few of the other campers had kayaks and boats and had been catching lots of blue cod off the points of the bay so we thought it would be good to have a go at fishing from the beach and I was contemplating going in for a swim as it was a beautifully sunny and hot day. The first thing we saw were some very large stingrays gliding around the shallows, then heard one of the locals mention that two sharks had been frequenting the waters over the last 3 evenings - suffice to say I decided against going for a swim. Mark started fishing from the beach and was standing about knee deep in water in order to cast further out to the drop off. I turned around as he reeled in his bait only to see the fins of a shark following it into the shallows!! All I managed was to shout ‘shark’ before it turned on its side aiming straight
for Marks calves!!! Luckily he managed to move out of the water quick enough to avoid a nasty bite from the 6ft (ish) Bronze whaler shark!! We later found out that these shark have a tendency of biting humans! As the tide went out we moved around the rocks to get closer to the point but decided against wading through the water to get there as we didn’t fancy ending up as shark bait again!! We caught two small cod that were undersized so had to go back.
After a while of catching nothing we headed back for lunch and then after speaking to one of the other campers headed to the pier to fish for some bait fish to use the following day. It was a great afternoon sitting in the sunshine with a glass of wine catching (and throwing back) small spotties until we caught the mullet (similar to a mackerel) we were after for bait. As we sat there a charter came back from deep sea fishing with a massive catch. We were talking to one of the ladies from the boat who happened to be an ex- head teacher of a SEN school in Nelson.
She asked if we were fishing for fun or for food. We replied that food would be great and we were trying to get the bait fish for tomorrow. She walked away and came back with a blue cod for us from the catch they were offloading!!! As it was starting to get dark and cold we called it a night and headed back to fry the fish we had been given!! The fish was delicious but trying to cook by torchlight after a few glasses of wine is not the easiest thing in the world!! We wanted something else as well as the fish so cooked noodles. However, half way through cooking the gas bottle ran out!! Just as I was clearing up the ranger came round to tell everyone about the earthquake in Japan and that we were on a Tsunami warning, and as we were next to the sea we were being advised to move to higher ground!! One of the other campers told us that nothing was due to arrive until the morning so we shouldn’t worry, another couple came to see if we were keeping up with the news and to say they were moving
and didn’t like the thought of any of us staying down by the sea. So we drove up to the lookout on the hill just behind us. It was a small car park and a heli pad but we managed to fit about 4 vans in it overnight. The following morning we headed back down to the campsite and the ranger came round and told us that the warning had been retracted and we were safe. As e had no way of heating hot water for a drink and couldn’t cook anything for breakfast we were waiting for the shop to open to see if they refilled gas bottles. The ranger said they didn’t so reluctantly we were going to have to head off back down the road to civilisation and to find somewhere to fill up the gas bottle!! When we explained this to the ranger she offered to make us a cup of tea at her house!!
It was a long drive back to the main roads but it was a beautiful day so we just took our time and enjoyed the scenery. We were heading towards Havelock to try and fill up the gas bottle. It
was already lunchtime by the time we filled the gas bottle up and we hadn’t drunk anything by then and hadn’t eaten much! So we stopped in Havelock for lunch at the pub- which was absolutely delicious!! There isn’t much to do in Havelock and the campsite seemed to be really full so we headed along Queen Charlotte Drive heading towards Picton. This is the shortcut between Havelock and Picton as it is a direct route except that its very windy, and has beautiful scenery all the way. We turned off Queen Charlotte Drive and went up Kenepuru Sound as there are lots of little DOC sites to stay in. We were planning on heading as far up the sound as we could and work our way back - except we soon realised we only had about 20 dollars on us so are very limited with the amount of nights we can stay! We stopped at Cowshed bay briefly before heading onwards and found Nikau Cove. It was a stunning little bay and when we arrived there was only one other van there. So we pulled up sideways to the sea and spent the day lazing on the beach. The
following day we did a similar thing and just chilled out for the day. It was a bit windier so I spent less time sunbathing but Mark spent quite a while fishing. After two nights here we have run out of money its, back along the sound and back on to Queen Charlotte drive to take us to Picton.

Magnesium is involved in more than 300 metabolic reactions, including maintaining heart, bone, and blood pressure health. Vital to the maintenance of muscle contraction and nerve conduction, magnesium is second only to potassium in terms of concentration within individual cells. The average body contains only an ounce of this mineral, and 60 percent of the body’s magnesium is in our bones. The rest is found in soft tissue and blood.
- Supports heart health
- Supports and regulates normal blood pressure
- Sustains normal muscle function
- Helps prevent kidney-stone formation
- Helps reduce frequency of migraine headaches
- Supports bone mineral density
- May support healthy blood sugar levels
- Supports restful sleep
- Supports cognitive health
- Promotes normal bowel movements
History of Usage
Magnesium was discovered outside of Magnesia, Greece. Sir Humphrey Davy identified the first alkaline earth metals in 1808 and named them barium, strontium, calcium, and magnium after their oxides. Davy coined the term “magnium” from the usual name for magnesium oxide: magnesia. Magnesium eventually superseded the term magnium in common usage.
Magnesium was used as a treatment in ancient times in the form of laxatives and Epsom salts. Richard Willstatter received the Nobel Prize in 1915 for explaining the structure of chlorophyll in plants, emphasizing magnesium as the important element. Magnesium is frequently utilized in the immediate treatment of pre-eclampsia, myocardial infarction, and severe asthma episodes. Magnesium is a key component of several laxatives.
Thousands of articles and research on magnesium’s importance have been published over the last several decades. The more we study about this vital mineral, the more we understand how it can help us fight a variety of ailments and maintain general health.
Magnesium regulates cellular glucose metabolism, protein digestion, and certain hormone receptor signal transmissions. This important mineral regulates ion balance, keeping potassium in the cells and sodium out. It is involved in more than 300 different enzyme reactions, and it stabilizes electrical signals in the heart and relaxes the arteries and muscles to promote healthy blood flow. Magnesium plays an important role in regulating the neuromuscular activity of the heart by maintaining normal heart rhythm.
Magnesium also aids in synaptic connections between neurons to support memory. It is a cofactor for enzymes that regulate the neurotransmitters associated with mood and sleep.
Food sources of magnesium include green leafy vegetables, nuts, beans, peas, soybeans, and whole grains.
Magnesium’s excellent global sales growth has been attributed to rising study and media emphasis on the mineral’s function in well health.
Magnesium is gaining popularity among consumers. The latest Consumer Survey on Dietary Supplements done by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN; Washington, DC) in August 2019 revealed magnesium as one of the top ten dietary supplements consumed by Americans. According to the 2019 poll, 18% of supplement consumers reported taking magnesium.
According to market researcher SPINS (Chicago), magnesium had exceptional sales increase in the 52 weeks ended October 6, 2019, propelling the mineral into the top ten components tracked by SPINS cross-channel for the first time (mainstream, natural, and specialty gourmet channels). By combining these channels, magnesium achieved double-digit sales growth of 11% in 2020, bringing total sales to $151 million by the conclusion of the term.
Magnesium sales increased in the following supplement categories: digestive health (mainstream), brain health (natural), heart health (natural and specialty gourmet), mood (natural and specialty gourmet), and bone health (natural and specialty gourmet) (specialty gourmet channel). Magnesium is also associated with appropriate blood sugar regulation.
- Magnesium supplementation is safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- In healthy people, too much magnesium from meals poses no health concern because excess levels are excreted in the urine by the kidneys. High dosages of magnesium from dietary supplements or pharmaceuticals, on the other hand, frequently cause diarrhea, which can be accompanied by nausea and stomach cramping.
- Magnesium supplements may interact with certain medications. Before using magnesium supplements, check with your doctor if you are on any drugs.

The Panzerkampfwagen I (PzKpfW I) was a light tank produced in Germany in the 1930s. The Panzer I was built in several variants and was the basis for a number of variants listed below.
Originally known as MG Panzerwagen (V Kfz 617) and given the Sonderkraftfahrzeug designation Sd.Kfz.101, the Ausf A was armed with two machine guns in a small turret. The 450 production tanks saw service from 1934 to 1941, last seeing action in Finland .
After initial service the Ausf A was found to be underpowered and the engine prone to overheating. A more powerful engine was fitted and the superstructure transferred to the longer chassis of the kl Pz Bef Wg to produce the Ausf B, a.k.a. LaS Maybach, seeing service from 1935-1943, latterly as a command tank.
The Ausf C light tracked reconnaissance vehicle, a.k.a. PzKpfW I nA or VK601, was a comprehensive re-design of the Pz I, with little commonality with earlier Ausfuhrungen introducing the Schachtellaufwerk (inter-leaved track wheels) used in many later Panzers. One of the machine guns was replaced by a semi-automatic Einbauwaffe 141 anti-tank rifle chambered in 7.92×94mm Patronen, giving it limited anti-armor capability. Forty Ausf C were built, two being sent to the Eastern Front for evaluation, the remainder were in action during the Normandy invasion of 1944.
The Ausf F heavily armoured infantry assault tank (MG armed), a.k.a. PzKpfW I nA verstärkt or VK1801, was an up-armoured Pz I with the Schachtellaufwerk (inter-leaved track wheels) of the Ausf C, and a turret mounting two machine-guns. Thirty Ausf F tanks were built between April and December 1942, eight of which were sent to the Eastern Front for evaluation.
The first Panzer I vehicles to be built, 15 of this variant were completed by various firms (Daimler-Benz, Henschel, Krupp, MAN, and Rheinmetall) in a program intended to develop industrial capacity and provide initial training vehicles to the Wehrmacht. The Ausf A ohne Aufbau was a Panzer I hull without any superstructure or turret. The interior was completely open. The vehicle was crewed by a student driver and instructor, with room for three student observers behind them. The suspension and hull were identical to the Ausf A, but total weight was reduced to 3.5 tons and height to 1.15 m. Performance was similar.
Munitionsschlepper on Panzer I Ausf A chassis. https://handwiki.org/wiki/index.php?curid=1431077
Given the designation Sd.Kfz. 111, the Munitionsschlepper (ammunition tractor) was built to provide Panzer units with an armored tracked vehicle for front-line re-supply of tanks. 51 examples were converted from older Ausf A tanks in September 1939. The conversion involved removing the turret and providing a two-piece armor plate cover over the resulting opening. This crude conversion served in Poland and France with Panzer units. Total weight was a little less than the Ausf A, at 5.0 tons, and the height was reduced to 1.4 m. Since some fuel capacity was removed, range was cut to 95 km. No armament was provided.
An attempt to mount bridging equipment on the Ausf A chassis proved impractical due to the weak suspension of the vehicle, although this was later tried with greater success on the Panzer II chassis.
A simple field modification, the Flammenwerfer had a portable flamethrower with enough fuel for about 10 seconds of firing at a range of up to 25 m mounted in place of one of the machine guns. The idea came from an experiment during the Spanish Civil War, and was intended to give the Panzer I more firepower against close targets. The conversion was not permanent, and was only reported to be used in the Battle of Tobruk by the German 5th Light Division.
Given the designation Sd.Kfz. 265, the kl Pz Bef Wg was a modification of the Ausf A designed to provide a command vehicle for Panzer units. This required lengthening the chassis (by adding a fifth road wheel) and upgrading the engine. Ultimately, this chassis would be the basis for the improved Ausf B version. The klPzBefWg had a built-up superstructure in place of the turret, affording more interior room for command equipment and a FuG6 radio in addition to the FuG2. A single MG13 or MG34 in a ball mount on the front of the superstructure was provided, although often removed. Slightly heavier (5.9 tons) and taller (1.99 m) than the Ausf B, the klPzBefWg served with all Panzer units into the early war years. It received an additional 15 mm of armor later, and was moved to auxiliary duties by 1942. 184 were built by Daimler-Benz at the same time as Ausf B production, and six examples were built from Ausf A tanks.
The Ausf B ohne Aufbau used the same chassis as the Ausf B, but omitted the superstructure and turret. Designed to provide Panzer units with a tracked recovery and repair vehicle, 164 were produced alongside the standard Ausf B vehicles. However, the introduction of larger tanks meant it was unable to do recovery work, and by 1940 it was being transferred to training duties. Compared to the Ausf B, it was much lighter (4.0 tons) and shorter (1.35 m). Like the Ausf A ohne Aufbau, the compartment was open-topped; the hull was armored.
Commonly known as the Panzerjäger I, this version marked Germany's first attempt at an armored tank destroyer. The turret was removed and a 4.7 cm PaK (t) antitank gun (captured from Czechoslovakia) with a tall wrap-around gun shield was installed. Made from 14.5 mm thick armor plate, the shield offered no protection to the rear or above. The gun was capable of 35° of traverse and elevation from −8° to +12°. 86 rounds were carried for the main gun. While performance was similar to the Ausf B, it was heavier at 6.4 tons and taller, 2.25 m, than the B.
This vehicle was sometimes known as the Bison. The larger Ausf B chassis made possible the mounting of heavier guns with removal of the turret. The largest was the 150 mm heavy infantry gun, the sIG 33. This mammoth piece was relatively short and barely fit inside a tall superstructure that was constructed up to the vehicle's 2.8 m height and over the tracks to their full 2.06 m width. The superstructure armor was light—only 13 mm—and only protected the front and sides. The heavy resulting weight of 8.5 tons overstressed the chassis; the vehicle was not a great success. 38 were converted from Ausf B tanks in February 1940. They served with six heavy SP infantry gun companies, with survivors in service into 1943. The sIG mounting was capable of 25 ° of traverse and 75 ° of elevation, and could be depressed to −4 °. It used a Rblf36 sight. Ammunition was carried separately, there being no room for onboard shell storage. The sIG would be mounted more successfully on larger chassis as the war progressed.
A field modification, similar to that done to the Ausf B earlier in Spain , developed in preparation for the assault on Tobruk, by the 5th le division (5th Light Division) field engineers of the Deutsche Afrika Korps, and issued to the 5th Tank Regiment. the flamethrower was capable of 10 - 12 one second bursts up to 25 m (82 ft).
An experimental field modification similar to that done to the Ausf A later in North Africa, this conversion was made during the Spanish Civil War. There is no record of later use during World War II.
A field modification kit, the ''Ladungsleger (the prototype) or Abwurfvorrichtung (the “production” version), explosives layer, was mounted on the rear deck of an Ausf B tank and used to lay explosives to defeat field fortifications. A number of vehicles were given these kits, with authorized use on the armoured engineers company of each Pioneer Battalion.
A rare modification that attempted to make the Panzer I into a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun was the Flakpanzer I that was not produced widely due to limited operational utility.

The Loch Ness Monster has captured the public imagination for centuries, inspiring books, TV shows, and films, and driving a thriving tourism industry in Scotland. Although Nessy was never identified, as it is the stuff of myth and legends, over the years many sightings have been reported.
More recently, scientists have proposed that these sightings are in fact giant eels that people mistake for the mythical beast. But a new study published this week by an independent researcher showed that this is extremely unlikely.
After doing the math, scientist Floe Foxon found that it is virtually impossible from a statistical standpoint to find a giant eel in the legendary Scottish lake that could be confused for a large aquatic animal.
Hunting for Nessy
The earliest recorded encounter with the beast dates back to 565 AD when St. Columba, an Irish missionary, is said to have encountered a creature in the River Ness. In the 1930s, the first modern sighting was reported by the Inverness Courier, and the editor playfully described it as a “monster,” giving rise to the modern myth.
In 2019, researchers from New Zealand collected water samples from the loch and examined the DNA of various living species present. They ruled out the presence of a prehistoric marine reptile called a plesiosaur and a large fish like a sturgeon, as well as catfish and the suggestion of a wandering Greenland shark.
However, European eels (Anguilla anguilla) were found to be among the creatures in the loch, with their DNA detected at numerous locations.
European eels are quite extraordinary and perhaps even more interesting that the legend of Nessey. These amazing fish migrate over 3,100 miles (5,000 km) from the Sargasso Sea near the Bahamas to Scottish rivers and lochs, including Loch Ness, where they lay their eggs.
Although the research didn’t reveal the size of these eels, the scientists found a significant amount of eel DNA, suggesting the presence of many of these creatures in the loch. Therefore, they cannot rule out the possibility that the reported Loch Ness Monster sightings may actually be giant eels.
But although no one denies the presence of eels in the loch, how plausible is it that someone could have mistaken them for a “large” monster? Not at all likely, says Foxon.
The researcher employed catch data from Loch Ness and other European freshwater bodies to estimate the likelihood of observing eels of a size comparable to the reported dimensions of the monster.
According to the findings, the probability of encountering a one-meter eel in Loch Ness is approximately 1 in 50,000. While this might explain some sightings of smaller, unknown creatures, the chances of finding significantly larger eels are practically nonexistent.
Sightings of Nessy claim the beast is as large as 15-20 meters. Therefore, the study debunks the idea that giant eels could be responsible for the sightings of larger animals in the lake.
“In this new work from the Folk Zoology Society, a much-needed level of scientific rigor and data are brought to a topic that is otherwise as slippery as an eel. Contrary to popular conception, the intersection between folklore and zoology is amenable to scientific analysis and has the potential to provide valuable insights into anthrozoological phenomena,” says first author Floe Foxon.
The research does acknowledge that large eels may indeed inhabit the loch. However, the statistical analysis and data collected do not support the existence of exceptionally large eels. This means that Nessy hunters and cryptid enthusiasts are back to the drawing board.
The findings were reported in the journal JMIRx Bio.

This is the third term of Barack Obama. So he’s really in charge, but Barack Obama was never really in charge. So who is? Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama and behind them, what I call the new oligarchs and we know who they are. It’s Jeff Bezos of Amazon and The Washington Post. Tim Cook of Apple, Jack Dorsey of Twitter, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and Eric Schmidt who was four times CEO and later chairman of Google, and Bill Gates..

What is Radon?
Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that forms naturally in soil. Radon is produced when uranium in the soil breaks down.
Why is Radon a Concern?
Radon is known to cause lung cancer and it can seep into our homes and workplaces through cracks and openings in floors and crawlspaces. When this happens, radon becomes part of the air we breathe.
How to Test Your Home for Radon?
Perform a simple, short-term test in your home. You can do it yourself and it takes 48 to 96 hours to complete. You should keep windows closed 12 hours prior to testing your house.
A coupon for $15 test kits is available on the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) website. After testing, mail the test kit to the address provided; results will be mailed to you.
If radon levels in your home are high:
- A mitigation system should be installed if the concentration of radon is more than 4 pCi/L. These systems should include sealing cracks and openings and installing PVC piping and a fan to remove radon gas, to prevent radon from entering your home.
- Find a National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) certified mitigation contractor in Colorado who can install a radon mitigation system.
Can Radon Make Me Sick?
When a person is exposed to radon over many years the exposure can increase the risk of lung cancer . Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States; only smoking causes more lung cancer. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.
Each year, about 20,000 deaths in the United States are attributed to radon-caused lung cancer. Risk of lung cancer from radon is almost 10 times higher for smokers compared to those who have never smoked. Smoking and radon together create a greater risk of lung cancer than either one alone.
Who is at Risk?
- Everyone exposed to radon over a long period of time is at risk for lung cancer.
- Smokers are at higher risk of lung cancer. Exposure to a combination of smoking and radon creates a greater risk than either factor alone.
- While some studies have reported that children are at greater risk than adults for certain types of cancer from radiation, currently there is no conclusive data that their radon risk is greater than adults.
- In Colorado we have high levels of radon in our soils. An EPA model of indoor air radon levels indicates that most of the counties in Colorado have average levels greater than 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L), which is the level at which EPA recommends radon mitigation.

Colorado Radon Zones
The U.S. EPA and the U.S. Geological Survey have evaluated the radon potential in the U.S. and have developed this map is to assist National, State, and local organizations to target their resources and to assist building code officials in deciding whether radon-resistant features are applicable in new construction. This map is not intended to be used to determine if a home in a given zone should be tested for radon. Homes with elevated levels of radon have been found in all three zones. All homes should be tested regardless of geographic location. The map assigns each of the 3,141 counties in the U.S. to one of three zones based on radon potential. Each zone designation reflects the average short-term radon measurement that can be expected to be measured in a building without the implementation of radon control methods. The radon zone designation of the highest priority is Zone 1.
Important: Consult the EPA Map of Radon Zones document (EPA-402-R-93-071) before using this map. This document contains information on radon potential variations within counties. EPA also recommends that this map be supplemented with any available local data in order to further understand and predict the radon potential of a specific area. This and other indoor air quality publications can be ordered through the IAQ INFO Clearinghouse.

Hilary Barry has hilariously hit out at TikTok after she was blocked on the social media service for breaching community guidelines.
The Seven Sharp presenter was attempting to create an account on the short-form video platform, but was promptly blocked from updating her profile due to "multiple community guideline violations".
Alongside a screenshot of the notice she received from TikTok, she cheekily wrote: "Tried to set up a Tiktok account today and was immediately blocked.
"Oh dear. Too much shoulder?"
The much-loved TV host was referring to a comment she received from a viewer in March, which claimed a soft pink halter-neck top that exposed her shoulders was inappropriate for her to be wearing.
Barry is not afraid of calling out members of the public for their online comments about her appearance.
Last year, the 51-year-old presenter also hit back at a viewer who had had a "gutsful" of seeing her cleavage and made a complaint to the show.
During an episode of the current affairs programme, Barry's co-presenter Jeremy Wells read out an email from a viewer named Barbara with the subject header 'Hilary's cleavage,' in which she claimed to have been "assailed' by Barry's preference for plunging necklines and choice of chesty clothing.
Reading aloud from the email Wells said: "It's a fact of nature that women's breasts are sex objects and should be kept private except for the beach or at an evening do".
To which Barry responded: "They're just boobs and half the population have them. Barbara has them."

Anshuvarma & Bhrikuti: Unanswered Questions About Anshuvarma & Bhrikuti
Anshubarma Bhrikuti ,The search for history is a difficult subject in itself. That is why there is no clear evidence of all the events of history. Due to the lack of sufficient evidence, history has no choice but to speculate about the ideal personality. There are many historical characters whose identities could not be revealed due to lack of evidence. Among them are two characters from the Lichhavi period,Anshubarma Bhrikuti
The history studied according to the Shruti tradition before the year 2007 gave a single explanation about these characters. But, that was a bit far from real history. After the attainment of democracy when the History Amendment Board was formed. He began to search for the truth of every historical event. However, this church, which seeks history, has not been able to clear up the confusion about Anshubarma Bhrikuti
According to Tang, who is the father of Bhrukuti? There is disagreement among historians about that. Looking at the time written in Chinese chronicles about Bhrukuti’s marriage, it is unlikely that she will be Anshuvarma’s daughter. E. It is mentioned in the story that Bhrukuti got married in 641 AD. Historians believe that it is impossible to date the daughter of Anshu Varma, who died 20 years ago. At that date, King Bhimarjunadev was the ruler and his assistant ruler was Vishnugupta. She may also be the daughter of Narendra Dev, who became king after Bhimarjun Dev .Anshubarma Bhrikuti
Anshuvarma appears in the history of Nepal from 594. Historians believe that he was active in Nepali politics from the very beginning. Anshuvarma, who emerged as a feudal lord during the reign of Shivadeva I, had rested after reaching the king, the lord of power.More than three dozen records have been found if Anshu Varma’s name was mentioned in the Lichhavi period. However, no records mention his personal life. Anshu Varma’s name is mentioned in 16 records written by Shivadev I.
Historian Baburam Acharya claims that Anshuvarma belongs to the Licchavi dynasty. He claims that the Licchavis of Nepal are divided into two classes, Varmanta and Devanta. Therefore, he is of the opinion that even in Anshuvar, Varmant belongs to Licchavi clan. So, the historian Dr. Jagadish Chandra Regmi has refuted this in his book Licchavi Itihas. Regmi is of the opinion that this cannot be accepted as Anshu Varma is married to the Varmanta Licchavi dynasty.Another historian, Dhanbajra Bajracharya, speculated that Anshu Varma may have been a Chandravanshi regionalist as he had a picture of the moon inscribed on his forehead. This view seems to be strengthened by the use of the word “like the moon on the earth” in the records written by Buddhist monks. However, there is no room for doubt. Why is Anshu Varma not identified as regional in more than three dozen records? That question challenges this view.
Who are the genealogists in Anshuvarma? They have said that by stumbling on the question. But, they are also in conflict with each other. According to the language genealogy, he is the son-in-law of Shivadev I. However, the Gopal genealogy mentions that he was Shivadev’s nephew. This is the Nepali saying mentioned in the Gopal genealogy.
And again under the influence of the Sun dynasty, Shivadev became king. His nephew was King Anshuvarma. He built a palace. He made arrangements for Pandak, Pindak, Koot etc. Grammar and other scriptures started to be discussed.Anshubarma Bhrikuti
Ever since Anshu Varma started ruling independently, he has used the adjective ‘Vappapadanudhyana’ in his ‘Virudavali’. Dhanbajra Bajracharya is of the opinion that this adjective suggests that he belongs to a large clan. Anshubarma Bhrikuti
Anshu Varma’s political ascent
Facing two political challenges in Anshuvar, he rose from feudal lord to king. There are also some unanswered questions in his political ascent. Did he become king or not? Where did Shivadev go after 604? Why did he start building a new palace instead of living in a mansion? Such unanswered questions are found
He had two challenges in Nepali politics. The first challenge was to establish himself in politics. At that time, it was not easy to defeat Bhum Gupta who managed to mislead the king. He succeeded in that. Second, he also had the challenge of strengthening the then Nepal. The feudal lords declared independence from place to place. That too should have been taken into consideration. Managing all these and becoming a king from a common position is Anshu Varma’s challenging political ascent.
Although it started in 590, it can be seen outside 594.
In the year 594, Anshuvarma suddenly becomes the assistant of Shivadev I and emerges as ‘Shri Samanta’. Ambitious Anshuvarma Guptas do not rush to become a hartakar of power. For 10 years, he held various positions at the assistant level such as feudal lord and feudal lord. Records show that he ruled independently for 12 years after becoming a feudal lord.Anshubarma Bhrikuti
In the records of Bungmati kept in 605, Anshu Varma mentions that he was an independent ruler.Before that, all the information came from Mangriha, then from Kailashkut Bhavan. He always respected the royal house even when he was in power. Therefore, Dhanbajra Bajracharya is of the opinion that a new palace was built without staying in the house. E. In 615, he has put ‘Shri’ in front of his name. In the Deupatan inscription of 615, he has said ‘Shryanshuvarma’. He has written the same thing in Gokarna’s fragmentary record. Nowhere in his archives does he mention himself as a ‘king’.
Analysis of the relationship between Anshubarma Bhrikuti
Even before the systematic search for history in Nepal, it was believed that Bhrukuti was a Nepali girl. Even now in the curriculum it is taught that Bhrukuti is Anshu Varma’s daughter. However, the relationship between Anshuvarma and Bhrukuti is silent even in the then Nepali history and contemporary foreign history. There is no evidence in Nepali historical texts that she is the daughter of Nepal.
However, the Chinese Tang narrative mentions this. However, Tang is said to be Anshu Varma’s daughter. The Tibetan legend of Bhrukuti states that “Srong Chan Gampo, the first famous and majestic king of unified Tibet, developed Tibet by marrying the daughters of the kings of Nepal and China and introducing Buddhism to Tibet.” Chinese legend describes Gampo as Lokeshwar.
It is said in the Mahatma that two princesses got married to fulfill the needs of the two powers of Lokeshwar, the Green Star and the White Star. On the basis of this greatness, the historian Mary Slusser mentions that Bhrikuti is a form of a divine personality.
According to Tang, who is the father of Bhrukuti? There is disagreement among historians about that. Looking at the time written in Chinese chronicles about Bhrukuti’s marriage, it is unlikely that she will be Anshuvarma’s daughter. E. It is mentioned in the story that Bhrukuti got married in 641 AD. Historians believe that it is impossible to date the daughter of Anshu Varma, who died 20 years ago. At that date, King Bhimarjunadev was the ruler and his assistant ruler was Vishnugupta. She may also be the daughter of Narendra Dev, who became king after Bhimarjun Dev .
Another historian, Gyanmani Nepal, says that the time of Srong Chan Gampo was in AD. 629 to 650. Even with his eyebrows e. Saying that she got married in 629 BS, Uday Dev, who was living in exile at that time, has expressed the opinion that she may have got married.
In Tibet, Bhrikuti is called Thichung Lachi. It is mentioned that his father’s name was Devalha. Gyanmani Nepal is of the opinion that it means Shivadev. Based on that, it is believed that Bhrikuti is the daughter of Shivadev I.It is difficult to establish the relationship between Anshubarma Bhrikuti between these differences. Although the language genealogy mentions this, no official evidence has yet been found.

The attention of the rumour mill has switched to Samsung’s forthcoming smartphones now that the Galaxy S22 series has been released internationally. The first probable picture of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 was leaked a few days ago. A couple more concept photos of the foldable phone were released today.
More high-resolution concept photos of what might be the Galaxy Z Fold 4 have been released by tipster Waqar Khan (@WaqarKhanHD). If this is the final design of Samsung’s next foldable phone, it appears that the corporation employed a rear-facing camera design similar to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which was just announced. There is no camera island, and all of the camera sensors protrude from the body independently.
Similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Galaxy Z Fold 3, the gadget looks to have a thin cover display. Samsung could stick with a side-mounted capacitive fingerprint reader rather than an in-display sensor. The next-generation Galaxy Z Fold phone might have a triple-camera arrangement, but it’s unclear whether Samsung will utilise better sensors this time.
The introduction of an S Pen slot within the device might be the most important enhancement. While the Galaxy Z Fold 3 was Samsung’s first folding phone to have S Pen support, it lacked a separate S Pen storage compartment. It hampered the stylus’ utility, and several customers have asked the South Korean company to fix it. To achieve this purpose, Samsung should not have lowered its battery capacity.

Things We Learned at the McIntyre/Johnson Wedding
We have had many past clients take our rooftop venue and completely transform all of the décor into something totally different, but we don’t think anyone has ever made it look the way Deidra McIntyre did for her wedding on Sunday, May 24, 2014.
The moment we first met Deidra and began talking about her big day, we knew that she was unique and had a very distinct vision for her wedding. We were so excited to help bring her dream wedding day come to life! She envisioned a whimsical, romantic wedding day, and with the help of some fantastic vendors, she got just that. Here are some things we learned at the McIntyre/Johnson Wedding:
Unconventional/Non-Traditional Ceremony Backdrops are the Next Big Thing
Deidra used some amazing faux hedges paired with a paper-flower wall to serve as the backdrop for the ceremony and it was gorgeous! Emily at Propmaker Event Rentals fastened her custom faux hedges to a full-length paper-flower wall that Deidra actually made herself. (We love our crafty clients!) Once the hedges were fastened to the paper flowers, Emily took additional paper flowers and butterflies and wove them throughout the hedges, along with hanging candles. Talk about whimsical!
A Little Draping Goes a Long Way
We’ve had several past clients opt to hang items like paper lanterns or lights from our ceiling to create some ambiance, and it’s always a success. Deidra took that idea to the next level and brought it sheer, white, silk draping to hang in the main reception room. It completely changed the look and feel of the space and was fabulous! QuestDrapebrought in a very simple set up: four ceiling drapes, and two door drapes to lead into the space for the buffet. The basket-weave-style draping created the perfect amount of romance for the event. Delicious Favors Will Never Disappoint
There are plenty of amazing favors to send home with your guests, but we think there’s something to be said about favors that are not only visually appealing, but also pleasing to the tummy. Deidra enlisted the help of POParella’s Gourmet Pop Corn and CakePop Shoppe to create some delicious treats for her guests to take with them. Included with the popcorn and cake pop bar was an adorable sign that read, “Life is Salty, Love is Sweet, enjoy some of our favorite Treats!” Such a cute way to incorporate the couple’s favorite things while also providing a favor for the guests!
Less Isn’t Always More
There are plenty of design magazines that will say that for every “busy” item you have, décor-wise, there should be something more simply to balance it out and we agree with that, to some degree. Deidra, on the other hand, threw that idea out the window and followed her heart and vision for the décor for her big day, and it was perfect. From the textured linens to the mercury glass vases to the oversized flower arrangements, everything was romantic and glam, just like Deidra. As far as which design tecnique is better, we can’t tell. What we do know is that when you are following your heart, you can never go wrong.
Congratulations Deidra and Mark! Your wedding was gorgeous and we wish you a lifetime of happiness!

This state-of-the-art naval artifact, developed by the Sitecna company, has a capacity for 600 tons of feed, 40 m3 of silage and has habitability for 20 people. Omega will carry out its first production cycle in Mowi Chile’s Tortuga farming center in the Aysén region.
Sitecna, a manufacturer of naval artifacts, delivered the new “Omega” pontoon, which belongs to the high standard “Navis” line and was commissioned by Mowi Chile. This modern naval artifact will be destined for the cultivation centers that Mowi has in the Aysén region.
Among other features, this pontoon has the capacity to comfortably accommodate 20 people. Its large common spaces, details and finishes stand out, offering spacious and comfortable spaces on board, such as meeting rooms, living rooms and a gym, among other amenities.
In this regard, Fernando Villarroel, general manager of Mowi Chile said that “This is the first of a series of projects that we will develop for our operations in Chile. We feel very proud, because this is the standard that we want to define in the future for all our pontoons. It is a very modern pontoon, with plenty of technology and, most importantly, with a lot of comfort to house our work team, so we are very happy”.
Omega has a storage capacity of 600 tons of feed and its structure is certified by the Norwegian DNV-GL standard. It has a length of 41 meters, a beam of 12 meters and a depth of 4 meters. In terms of its technology, the SIAPP automation system stands out, developed by Sitecna, which allows various operating parameters to be measured and controlled, such as: levels of the different tanks, the temperature at the inlet and outlet of the keels, the PH and level of hydrogen sulfide in the silage.
For his part, Ricardo Manzoliz, Commercial Manager of Sitecna, expressed his satisfaction with the high quality standards achieved in this project, which fully complied with the Norwegian certification, which was requested by Mowi at the time of carrying out the construction order.
This pontoon also includes an automatic fire protection system in the engine room, in the electrical room and in the kitchen. It also has a closed circuit of surveillance cameras, which provides a high level of internal and external security. Another interesting omega innovation is its hybrid energy system, based on lithium battery banks, which considerably reduce its carbon emissions.
