BRUNSWICK, Ga. – Brunswick City Fire crews are working with the Georgia Fire Marshal to begin an inspection of the Pinova plant fire that sparked early Saturday morning and then reignited a few hours after officials said the initial fire was contained, according to Glynn County officials.
The fire started Saturday around 7 a.m. Officials said it was contained around 10 a.m., then it reignited later that afternoon. Multiple fire and rescue departments from Georgia and Florida counties came to assist with the massive blaze.
Ron Kurtz, senior director of operations at Pinova, said in a statement Sunday, that it took responders 90 minutes to get the initial fire under control and thanked crews for their “coordinated approach” after the fire reignited.
Glynn County officials said in a release Sunday that crews are continuing to “maintain the scene and spray the area as a precautionary measure.”
“We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the City & County Fire Departments, the Savannah Fire Department, the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, and other firefighting teams and Samaritans in the vicinity, as well as the Georgia EPD, the U.S. Coast Guard, and other relevant authorities, for their swift and effective emergency response,” Krutz said.

At the Saturday night news conference, a firefighter said the crews gained control of the fire by setting up a foam operation, and by 10 p.m., they announced that the fire was successfully extinguished and all evacuation and shelter-in-place orders were lifted.
The release said the Environmental Protection Agency distributed seven monitors at various locations around the perimeter of the plant to test and monitor air quality overnight following the blaze.
According to officials, no levels were registered to call for public safety concerns and wind shifts helped move the smoke plume and keep it from settling in the area.
The Glynn County Board of Commissioners initially reported Saturday that there were no injuries, but the release said two people suffered minor burns during the incident and were treated by paramedics onsite.
Kurtz said no employees were injured as well as all workers were evacuated to safe areas when the fire began.
Multiple law enforcement agencies also facilitated traffic as evacuations and shelter-in-place orders were called. They also provided emergency vehicle escorts and patrols for safety.
“I am so proud of our First Responder community,” said Brunswick City Fire Department Chief Tim White. “This was a mutual aid operation; we had every resource on hand and available to us. The response was fast, and I cannot say enough about this community.
The Red Cross set up a shelter at Howard Coffin Park for evacuees, where 29 Glynn County residents signed in at the shelter and 16 stayed the entire night, according to the executive director of the Southeast Georgia region. Evacuees returned to their homes early Sunday morning.
The cause of the fires is still unclear and under investigation.
Officials said the plant sustained structural damage, but no chemical tanks were affected. Krutz said the fire started in the terpene resin area of the facility. The terpene resins, according to Krutz, are used in adhesives, construction specialties, flavors, fragrances, personal care as well as other household items.
Krutz said the company is working with officials to conduct a full investigation.
Pinova plant officials will make the final decision on plant operations once the investigators complete the inspection.

Sponsor: NH Chapter – National Association for Social Work
In this workshop, presenters Alison Mitchell and Sara Dupont will share results of a recent research study focused on identifying socially determined risk and protective factors predicting treatment outcomes from a population of individuals receiving substance use treatment in the State of Maine. Using the study findings as context, participants will then be invited to review and discuss case studies in small groups and then together in the larger group. Presenters will focus discussion on identifying social determinants of health in the case studies that might impede or facilitate treatment for rurally located individuals and families, inviting consideration and discussion of social work’s role(s) in addressing the issues identified.
To deepen the discussion, the focus will then turn to considering how the words we use and the agency structures within which we operate can also contribute to facilitating or impeding treatment progression in the context of the biopsychosocial factors previously identified. Participants will leave the workshop with an enhanced sense of individual skills or practices that could be incorporated into service provision, as well as potential social work roles and responses to promoting social justice through treatment access for rurally located individuals and families affected by substance use, particularly opioid abuse, throughout New Hampshire.
1.Identify risk and protective biopsychosocial factors (social determinants of health) based on a recently completed study of biopsychosocial predictors of substance use treatment outcomes based on treatment episode data from the State of Maine
2.Apply study findings to case studies provided to participants
3.Evaluate how use of language and agency policies/ procedures may potentially further marginalize already vulnerable families
4.Identify and reflect upon responses that arise related to the case studies as a means of furthering reflexive practice and promoting social justice for rurally located opioid affected individuals and families

American Board history remembered at Haigazian University
Haigazian University hosted a panel discussion the evening of August 24, 2011 commemorating the 200th anniversary of the founding of the American Board Mission. Some panelists stressed that this was a “commemoration and not a celebration,” given the mixed legacy of the missionary project. The American Board’s history was examined by six panelists in all its humanness, courage and dedication, cultural insensitivity and inflexibility, martyrdom, and the establishment of educational institutions that have withstood the test of time.
Dr. Peter Makari, Executive for the Middle East and Europe division of the Global Ministries of the United Church of Christ and the Disciples of Christ denominations in the United States gave the opening remarks. Global Ministries is the descendent institution of the original American Board Mission established in 1812 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Rev. Dr. John Deckenback shared his research on the American Board’s missionary activities to the indigenous peoples of North America, noting that the early 19th century effort spread the Christian gospel and extended health care to the native peoples while also advancing the cause of white settlement and hegemony in the American Pacific Northwest.
Panelists Kenneth and Betty Frank shared their decades-long experience of teaching in secondary schools in Turkey originally established by the American Board during the Ottoman period. These schools survived and thrived despite the militant process of secularization begun with the establishment of the Turkish republic by Kamal Ataturk.
Many people in the region were receptive to the message brought by the American Board and other Western missionaries in the early 19th century. Rev. Mgrdich Karagoezian, President of the Union of Armenian Evangelical Churches in the Near East, explained that his denomination is,in many ways, evidence of this receptivity. He also noted changes that had taken place in the denomination over the decades.
Haigazian University President Rev. Dr. Paul Haidostian closed the panel celebrating the fact that aspects of American Board history are also part of Armenian Evangelical history, noting that there were many areas demanding further research and study. Lively discussion with the audience followed, including a discussion of the pros and cons of the secularization of once-protestant identified universities.
The panelists were accompanied in their travel by other Global Ministriesstaff and district ministers of the UCC and Disciples of Christ denominations.


The incorporation of uranium into gadolinium zirconate (Gd 2Zr2O7) is investigated by synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. The results suggest that the uranium cation is largely located on the pyrochlore B-site instead of the targeted A-site. Cation disorder in Gd 2Zr2O7 and U-doped Gd2Zr 2O7 is investigated by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) which demonstrates the absence of cation vacancies in these systems. This work provides direct evidence for cation antisite (A- and B-site mixing) disorder in U-doped and off-stoichiometric Gd2Zr 2O7 pyrochlore. © 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

First and foremost, Merry almost Christmas to you all from the BikeRadar team! We hope you’re gearing up for a restful festive break (heck knows we need it) with the odd bit of riding peppered in.
This week saw the start of our annual Gear of the Year round-ups, which highlight the best bits of tech the team have used and abused in the past 12 months. So far, we’ve seen this year’s top picks from Tom Marvin, Warren Rossiter, Alex Evans and Luke Marshall. That’s only a small taste of what’s to come, so keep your eyes peeled on the site over the next couple of weeks for more.
Now it’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy this week’s edition of First Look Friday.
Cadex 36 Disc tubeless wheels
Following familiar wheel-naming conventions, the Cadex 36 Disc tubeless wheels have a 36mm rim depth, alongside a variety of interesting features and component choices.
Probably most surprising is the use of carbon fibre spokes, which Cadex says reduce weight, minimise lateral flex and are aerodynamic.
Carbon spokes are used on the slightly deeper Cadex 42 Disc wheelset, and, if they are anything to go by, these shallower wheels will be stiff and fast.
The Cadex 36 wheels are designed to run tubeless and use a hookless rim. This relies on air pressure to hold tyres in place, rather than a hooked design, which ‘catches’ the tyre. While hookless rims limit tyre choice, they do result in a stronger and lighter rim.
These wheels have a claimed weight of 1,302g for a pair and with an inner rim width of 22.4mm. Cadex says the wheels will fit 700 × 25c to 700 × 32c tyres.
At the centre of the wheels are Cadex’s own “low friction” hubs, which are said to be machined in a way that reduces the bearing load.
Inside the hub, Cadex has opted for ceramic bearings, and claims this increases rolling efficiency because the bearings are 1.5x smoother than steel bearings.
Whether ceramic bearings are actually worth having is a contentious subject, but this choice from Cadex shows these wheels are aimed firmly at the ‘every watt counts’ crowd.
- Cadex 36 front wheel: £1,099.99 / $1,575 / AU$1,960 / €1,049
- Cadex 36 rear wheel: £1,399.99 / $2,050 / AU$2,540 / €1,349
Albion Zoa Insulated Jacket
Albion recently released its Zoa collection, which includes this insulated jacket.
The jacket uses a combination of materials to keep you warm and relatively dry on any bikepacking adventures. Inside is PrimaLoft Gold Eco insulation and the exterior shell and liner use Pertex Quantum fabric.
Quantum uses thin yarns in a tight weave, which Albion says traps air and makes the insulation work better. The fabric also has a durable water repellent coating.
The Zoa Insulated Jacket is packed with details. There are eyelets so you can wear your helmet under the hood but still have the straps fitting against your chin. Four pockets provide plenty of storage and the rear pocket doubles as a stuff sack. A double-cuff design integrates nicely with gloves to stop any cold air from getting in and gives the jacket a cleaner look than if it had Velcro straps.
Albion says the Zoa collection is for on-bike and off-bike use. Accordingly, the cut of this jacket is fairly neutral. It doesn’t feel tight across the shoulders like some race-y cycling jackets and the drop tail is no more extreme than a hiking jacket.
The jacket is available in orange, black, or orange and black.
Quoc Mono II road shoes
The Mono II is the latest version of British brand Quoc’s top-shelf road shoe.
This rather sleek-looking shoe uses a unidirectional carbon sole, which, on first impressions feels very stiff – if cycling shoe stiffness actually matters.
Inside the shoe, there is a Quoc insole, which is said to absorb vibrations and have “ball-of-foot pressure point release”. The Mono II is supplied with three arch support inserts so you can tailor the level of support to your own needs.
If you lift up the inner sole, you can find the screw that holds the replaceable heel pad in place.
The upper of the Mono II is said to be developed from a last that closely follows the contours of the foot. The heel cup is said to be reassuringly supportive, while the dovetail tongue design removes any extra material that could dig into your feet.
The upper uses two bonded pieces of material, so the tongue doesn’t move out of place. Quoc says the stitching that joins the sections is inspired by the zig-zag lacing on brogues.
The shoe closes with a dual-dial design. This provides plenty of adjustment across the upper and lower sections of the shoe.
The dials tighten much like a Boa dial. To loosen them, you have to turn them in the opposite direction, which releases the tension in the cable.
I have a suspicion I’ve been sent a pair of the shoes finished especially for cycling industry Illuminati, as Simon von Bromley would say. Alongside the standard reflective dot pattern, one of the shoes I received has a chart explaining the Mono II’s spec printed on the side, as well as directions to tag #quocshoes on social media.
Prime Orra aero gravel bar
Do you need a carbon aero gravel handlebar? Prime thinks so, and it has adjusted its Primavera aero road handlebar to suit the demands of life off-road.
The top section of the Orra bar is almost identical to the Primavera, but Prime says it has adjusted the carbon layup to improve stiffness and compliance without impacting strength.
The bar features an 18-degree flare on the drop. A bigger flare is pretty standard on gravel handlebars, but while many brands cite greater stability as the reason behind this, Prime emphasises how this creates plenty of room for a handlebar bag.
Cabling runs internally for a clean appearance and Prime says it has kept its triangular drop design for ergonomics and grip over rough terrain.
The bar is available in 40cm, 42cm and 44cm. The 40cm bar has a claimed weight of 234g and our 44cm bar tipped the scales at 243.3g.
For perspective, this is 1g lighter than the ENVE G Series Handlebar, which also happens to cost over £200 more than the Prime bar.
All In Racing socks
- Buy from All In Racing
Cycling lags behind many other sports when it comes to diversity and inclusion. This is something that is felt acutely by LGBTQ+ people in the competitive cycling scene – many of whom feel they must hide their identity in order to survive in the sport.
Started by amateur racer Josh Jones, All In Racing is a new initiative that looks to change this.
The initiative aims to improve LGBTQ+ inclusion and representation in amateur and semi-professional bike racing by working with brands, organisations and teams, as well as providing free resources for LGBTQ+ athletes and allies.
All In Racing recently released these rainbow socks to coincide with Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces day on 8 December.
Made in collaboration with Rapha, the socks were limited to only 210 pairs. 120 were available to buy online and sold out. Ninety were given to riders participating in the Clanfield Cross UCI cyclocross race and other sponsored teams. All In Racing says it will release more socks in the future, and possibly in a black option, but that the price is likely to go up from the original £10.
All In Racing will formally launch in spring 2022, and in the meantime, it is welcoming teams and companies to get in touch and get involved.

Kent pharmacies rocked by staffing issues during crisis
In AnalysisIt’s time to delve deeper into health discussions. Broaden your understanding of a range of pharmacy news and topics through in-depth analysis and insight.
Record learning outcomes
Ninety-five per cent of Kent pharmacies experienced problems with staffing levels during the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic, a survey indicates, with most describing the problem as "significant".
The survey of 101 community pharmacies (30 per cent of all pharmacies in the Kent and Medway regions) by patient advocate organisation Healthwatch, published on November 3, revealed that pharmacies in the area were overwhelmingly affected by staffing and workload issues during the first wave. Some reported that as many as half of their counter staff had been unable to cometo work.
One respondent said: "Staff had to self-isolate; our workload literally doubled. The remaining staff were left under intolerable pressure; some then went off with stress."
The survey suggests that four-fifths of pharmacies suffered from “difficult and slow” communication with local GP practices, and that 92 per cent “didn’t receive the information, support and equipment they needed to respond to the first wave of the pandemic”.
It also details a widespread lack of PPE and access to testing during the early months of the crisis.
The report calls for a “system-wide approach to improvements” that better reflects the interdependence between pharmacies and other parts of the health service.
One pharmacist said: “The workload/staffing situation earlier this year was unsustainable, if we do not get more funding for staff and services immediately, I think it is more likely the service will collapse this winter. We only got through the first wave on the goodwill of staff, how much more can they be expected to give?”
'Poor communication led to panic'
Recommendations from those taking part in the survey include allowing community pharmacists to make minor changes to prescriptions and improved communication between surgeries and pharmacies, while others called for greater recognition from politicians for the role played by community pharmacies.
One pharmacist said GP practices should “talk to pharmacies about what their plans [are] rather than finding out on social media or from patients”.
Around three-quarters of respondents worried that system improvements had not been made to help prepare for the impact of a second wave of Covid-19.
Kent LPC commented in a statement: “Poor communication early on during the pandemic led to confusion and panic for patients.
“We were the only healthcare provider that did not have the opportunity to fully work behind closed doors and this led to a huge influx of patients as they did not understand the different ways of working that other healthcare professionals were able to and had put in place.
LPC chief Shilpa Shah said: “Concerns for this second lockdown are managing patient expectations around free deliveries, supporting patients trying to get them to maintain other health-related appointments, supporting patients who don’t have access to technology, managing workload with the worry of staff being off either with symptoms of Covid or with the test and trace process and supporting the mental health of pharmacists and healthcare staff.
“Locally it would be great to see the system using pharmacists to make minor alterations to prescriptions via independent prescribers, it would really take the pressure off of the GP practices with respect to out of stock medications.”

Top 10 foods with vitamin C
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is arguably the best-known immune-boosting vitamin and critical for the normal functioning of the body.
Boost your health with vitamin C
Vitamin C promotes resistance to infections like colds and flu, aids wound healing, is essential for the production of collagen (a type of protein that connects and supports other bodily tissues such as skin, bone, tendons, muscles and cartilage), enhances iron absorption and fights cataracts by increasing the amount of blood flow to the eye.
Vitamin C is also known as a powerful antioxidant which helps to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals that could contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease, cancers and other diseases.
As it’s a water-soluble vitamin, our bodies unfortunately don’t have the ability to make their own vitamin C or store it. We therefore need to fuel up with vitamin C every day to ensure that we don’t have a deficit.
You’re likely to suffer from vitamin C deficiency if you smoke, are exposed to pollution, drink caffeine in any form, are under stress, are recovering from illness or surgery, take aspirin regularly or are over the age of 55. If you bruise easily, are susceptible to infections and colds, lack energy, have gums that bleed easily and have nosebleeds regularly, it’s likely that you need more vitamin C.
The recommended dietary intake (RDI) of vitamin C is 45 mg/day. It is best to take the vitamin naturally from food sources.
Though oranges are a well-known source of vitamin C, you may be surprised to learn they are not the number one source of this vitamin. Have a look at our list of top 10 foods with vitamin C and start reaping the benefits.
Number one on our list is the guava. This sub-tropical superfruit contains about four times the amount of vitamin C as an orange. It’s also rich in vitamins A, folic acid and the minerals potassium, copper and manganese. It's also a great diet food as it is high in fibre and low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium.
The vitamin C content of guava is 200mg per 100g, so boost your immune system by upping your guava intake.
Though blackcurrants are listed in second place, they are right up there with guavas. They also contain 200mg of vitamin C per 100g; or four times the vitamin C content of an orange.
These berries are rich in antioxidants and flavonoids and help to relieve inflammation as well as urinary tract infections. They are also a good source of potassium.
Capsicums, especially red capsicums, are among the best sources of dietary vitamin C and high in antioxidant levels.
Red capsicums are the sweeter and riper versions of green capsicum and contain almost double the vitamin C content of green capsicum. Raw red capsicums boast a whopping 140mg of Vitamin C/100g, whereas raw green capsicums, contain a very respectable 80mg of vitamin C/100g. When cooked, the vitamin C level is slightly lower.
Also known as sweet peppers, capsicums are low in kilojoules and a good source of vitamin B6, iron and potassium.
Broccoli has been hailed as a super food that boosts the immune system and helps to fight cancer. It is packed with vitamin C (89mg of vitamin C per 100g), and is also rich in beta-carotene, carotenoids, B vitamins (including folate), calcium, zinc and fibre.
Broccoli should only be boiled or steamed very briefly; otherwise it can lose a major portion of its beneficial components.
The popular strawberry is full of fibre and antioxidants and graces the fifth position with 80mg of vitamin C per 100g.
Did you know that strawberries are the only fruit that wear their seeds on the outside? It is argued that for this reason, it cannot be considered a real berry, since berries carry seeds on the inside.
Strawberries should be eaten when fresh, as their antioxidant values as well as their vitamin C content drops the longer they are kept.
The small kiwifruit is one of the world's most nutritious fruit and contains very high levels of vitamin C (70mg/100g), potassium, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids.
Kiwifruit should be eaten as soon as they are ripe, and sliced just before being eaten, as leaving them standing could decrease their vitamin C levels.
Did you know that the kiwifruit originated in China and is also known as the Chinese gooseberry? When, in the early 20th century, this small fruit was introduced to and grown in New Zealand, this country's exporters renamed it to kiwifruit - after the kiwi, a brown flightless bird and New Zealand's national symbol.
The papaya (paw paw) provides 62mg of vitamin C per 100g serving. It is also a great source of other antioxidant nutrients such as carotenes and flavonoids; and vitamin A and folate. Papaya is thought to bring about a reduced risk of colon and cervical cancer.
This tropical fruit also contains the enzyme, papain, which is an excellent aid to digestion and can assist our body's enzyme to extract the maximum nutritional value from the foods we eat.
8) Brussel Sprouts
Brussel Sprouts may be the one vegetable kids of all ages love to hate, but if you can get used to their slightly bitter taste and learn not to overcook them, they offer some great health benefits.
Brussel sprouts contain beneficial phytochemicals, have anti-cancer effects and are a good source of folate, iron and vitamin C (60mg/100g).
It is best to steam or briefly boil Brussel Sprouts in order to preserve both the folate and the vitamin C. This way they'll taste much better too.
Enter the orange, in ninth place. The orange, together with other citrus fruit, is probably the best known source of vitamin C - as a winter fruit it is a great weapon against winter colds and flu.
The orange's vitamin C content is 50mg/100g and is known to boost the immune system and thought to reduce the risk of certain cancers. Citrus fruit can also improve blood circulation and lower blood cholesterol levels. It is good to keep in mind that it's more beneficial to eat the fruit than only drink the juice.
Cauliflower belongs to the same family as broccoli and Brussel sprouts and has a vitamin C content of 46mg/100g (raw). It contains several anti-cancer phytochemicals, B vitamins (including folate) and vitamin K.
As with broccoli and Brussel sprouts, it is best to steam or boil very briefly, as cooking greatly reduces its nutritional properties.

Delta Police are reminding drivers to stay off the road after drinking or consuming cannabis, after a two-day blitz saw the DPD hand out five driving suspensions.
The blitz, which took place in Ladner and North Delta on Oct. 19 and 20, came only a few days after the legalization of marijuana. Officers with specialized training were on hand both nights to check 900 drivers for impairment.
“Nearly half of our frontline officers are now trained in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing,” said Sgt. Sukh Sidhu, head of the Delta Police Traffic Unit.
“And we also have Drug Recognition Experts available on every shift, who can gather evidence to support a criminal impaired charge.”
Over the course of the two days, officers handed out two 24-hour suspensions and impoundment s to drivers who were potentially impaired by drugs. One criminal investigation was undertaken for a driver who was suspected to be impaired by cannabis.
Police also handed out two three-day driving suspensions for those who blew in the warning range on the approved screening device for alcohol, and one 90-day suspension.
The DPD also ticketed five drivers with offenses under the Motor Vehicle Act, as well as the Cannabis Control and Licensing Act. Four warnings were also handed out.
Delta police say they will be holding another counterattack blitz this weekend, and are asking drivers to find other ways home if they plan on consuming drugs or alcohol.
The police also released an infographic, explaining the process of what happens when a driver is pulled over after consuming cannabis.

|Moan, talkback, repeat.|
"Government can't solve our problems, since government is the problem. The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help. These words surely describe the far-left liberal President Barack Obama. Those prophetic words are from Ronald Reagan."
-- No city
How cute, someone has a Reagan fetish. If those are the most terrifying words you've heard in English, you need to get out of the bunker a little more often.
But as long as you have crowned Reagan your prophet, and deemed his words to be prophetic, here is Reagan on another subject, in 1988:
The United States participated actively and effectively in the negotiation of the Convention . It marks a significant step in the development during this century of international measures against torture and other inhuman treatment or punishment. Ratification of the Convention by the United States will clearly express United States opposition to torture, an abhorrent practice unfortunately still prevalent in the world today.
The core provisions of the Convention establish a regime for international cooperation in the criminal prosecution of torturers relying on so-called "universal jurisdiction." Each State Party is required either to prosecute torturers who are found in its territory or to extradite them to other countries for prosecution.
As is evident from his signing statement, Reagan was not only against torture, but was against inhumane treatment or punishment -- he didn't want the word "torture" nuanced and twisted to have no meaning. If you mistreat people in captivity, torture or anything like it, you are to be prosecuted. So. When are the Reagan-acolytes going to demand that our so-called far left president prosecute the criminals in the Bush-Cheney administration for their so-called enhanced interrogation programs, or in the alternative, demand their extradition to a country that will prosecute them?
"To the person who stole my son's iPod Touch while he was wrestling in a championship finals: Thank you. You just ruined a champion's heart. You must really be a loser."
-- Brook Park
Who brings an iPod Touch to a wrestling championship? Especially if you are a participant? I don't condone theft, but that's stupid.
"To all you people who thought Toyota was such high-off-the-hog cars: They have been buffaloing you for years. It's just another foreign car."
Just another foreign car... Like Hyundai -- who's kicking ass now. Whoops!
"I guess some cities like Cleveland and Cleveland Heights are grasping at any way they can to rip people off. You can only put the garbage out at a certain time. Now if you put the garbage a little early you will be fined. I usually put mine out around 4 p.m. I suffer with fibromyalgia and to put it out at night or in the early morning, I'm not at my best physically."
-- Cleveland Heights
That's nothing new. I lived in the Cleveland Heights for awhile, and someone dropped an old air conditioner on my tree lawn in the middle of the afternoon before garbage day and I got a warning letter from the city that if I did that again, I'd get a fine. My point is: this has been goig on for awhile. And if there weren't such a problem with people acting like pigs, tossing their trash everywhere, they wouldn't need to do this. So, call your member of council, and then hire the neighbor kid to take out your trash and shovel your snow.
"Parking tickets on Sunday at the churches along East 105th Street? Surely the police of Cleveland could find some better work to do than doing that to people who want to worship."
So, just because you are going to church, you don't have to follow the law? No wonder so many criminals find Jesus in prison.
"$100 million to an island and I can't get my income tax check or answers from the IRS?"
I got a call for you. Your check is waiting for you in Haiti. All you need to do is swing by Port-au-Prince and pick it up.

Helping Young Children Cope with Tragedy: Newtown
Newtown, Connecticut. A sleepy little town less than one hour away from where I was born. I watched in horror, with the rest of the world, as the tragedy in this small town unfolded. The trauma surrounding these events is a heavy burden to bear for the town of Newtown, and it will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark. Traumatologists, counselors, clergy and other supports will converge upon Newtown, to assist in helping its people begin to cope and pick up the pieces. It will be a long road to healing. On behalf of Kidlutions, I offer our condolences, thoughts and prayers.
The tragedy in Newton impacts children and families across the country. If it can happen in Newtown, it can happen anywhere. Nobody is exempt. This tragedy creates a ripple effect of fear for many.
The Ripple Effect
The horrific events that occurred in Newton affect us nationwide, and because we so connected through media and social media, it isn't a far stretch to say that this affects us globally. Thousands of miles away from the tragic site, children will see images of the trauma, overhear older children and adults talking about it and see cover story graphics at the news stand for weeks and months to come. The tragedy that unfolded in a matter of minutes, will replay over and over again.
How Parents and Teachers Can Help
There are some guidelines we can follow that will help when talking to young children about the tragedy:
1. Don't Assume the Child Knows Nothing
Although you may not have told the child about the tragedy, he may have overheard adult conversations or other schoolmates discussing the shooting, view a TV News Bulletin or see graphic images on TV.
If your child begins asking questions about the shootings, you will absolutely want to discuss it with him. Ask: "What do you know?" "What did you hear?" Listen for the child to make mention of the shootings and gently probe to learn what they know.
Tell the truth, but in an age-appropriate manner. You do not have give all of the details. Young children benefit from hearing the basics: "A bad person hurt some people. It was scary. Lots of good people rushed in to help. Now it is over and he cannot hurt anyone else."
4. Be Honest
Share that a bad thing did happen, but that it is being taken care of.
5. Focus on the Positives
Focus on the "helper" people. When bad things happen, helper people come to help. Police and ambulance workers got there quickly to help the people they could. You might say, "Lots of good people are helping the town now. Policemen, firefighters, ambulance workers, neighbors, counselors and clergy all came rushing in to help. People will be very sad. The people will help each other start to feel better."
6. Let Them Know They are Safe
Young children may think that their own personal safety is at risk. Let them know that they are safe and that things will remain the same in your community and household. Acknowledge that it is a scary thing that happened, but that it is over. What happened in that school almost never, ever, ever happens. That is the truth. This does not constitute a "lie" to children, as I have seen suggested in some places. School shootings are absolutely tragic. Beyond comprehension. One school shooting is too many, but statistically speaking, they are rare. This is what we want to focus on to help increase a child's sense of safety.
6. Limit Media Exposure
With cable and sattellite TV, news outlets are available 24/7. Be careful to ensure that your child is not exposed to ongoing stories about the shootings. Young children may believe the shootings are happening over and over again, or are still going on. Best to find the news you are looking for after they are in bed, or on your computer or mobile device.
7. Give Plenty of Hugs
Children always need physical affection, but they may need even more during times of stress or anxiety. Hugs, back rubs and other physical activities and close contact sooth the limbic system (the "seat" of the emotions in the brain).
All of us at Kidlutions are sending prayers and healing vibes to Newtown and its surrounding areas.

Foresters, wildlife biologists and homeowners are watching a strong year for the development of the forest foods that will ripen into autumn apples, acorns and even a good pine seed crop in New Hampshire forests. Fruit trees and oak forests with acorns are THE supermarkets of the forest.

Botox and creams are the most common way to tackle wrinkles, but they don’t last long and cost a lot.
HIFU is a non surgical face lift treatment that restores collagen loss.
Can High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Treatment Change Face Lifts?
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a reasonably new cosmetic treatment for skin tightening that some consider a pain-free as well as noninvasive substitute for face lifts. It utilizes ultrasound power to motivate the manufacturing of collagen, which results in stronger skin.

Numerous little medical tests have located HIFU to be safe and reliable for face lifting and refining wrinkles. People had the ability to see lead to a few months after treatment, without the dangers associated with surgery.
While the treatment is additionally utilized for overall facial rejuvenation, training, tightening, and also body contouring, these are thought about “off-label” uses for HIFU, indicating the FDA has yet to accept HIFU for these functions.
Much more proof will be needed to learn that is finest matched for this type of treatment. So far, HIFU has been found to be an encouraging treatment that might change facelift, especially in more youthful people who don’t desire the dangers as well as recovery time related to surgery.
HIFU will not function too for individuals with extra severe instances of sagging skin.

5 Facial Cosmetic Surgeon Approved Alternatives to a Facelift
There is no procedure available that can best an artfully performed facelift surgery ideally created for the person’s special anatomy as well as individual aging changes. However several facelifts performed available can still generate a cookie-cutter outcome where the result might look great in one individual as well as not so great in her friend, even when done by the exact same surgeon. Worse yet are instances where individuals too soon go under the blade to stop aging modifications and end up regretting their choice as a result of loss of their all-natural significance or characters.
For those savvy, perceptive people that fear less than a suitable arise from a “cookie-cutter” facelift surgery; for those that want to preempt the unpreventable aging modifications without too soon going through a facelift surgery; for those that previously went through a facelift surgery and wish update renovations without undertaking another surgery; for those who merely do not have a week or longer to recover from a facelift surgery; for those who fear general anesthesia or perhaps twilight sedation; for cigarette smokers who face greater threat of difficulties from going through facelift surgery; for those that can’t allocate a facelift surgery, there are ultimately tried and true, FDA approved options to a standard facelift surgery which Surgeons can give to their patients. In this write-up I will certainly be reviewing several of the much more preferred alternatives offered at my center.
The five options to facelift surgery I make use of in my workplace are Thermage, Ultherapy, Thread lifting, Fillers, as well as two “Mini Surgery” procedures containing 3-D volume reconstruction and also re-contouring making use of fat transfer as well as lower eyelid fat bag removal making use of transconjunctival method.
Very commonly these modalities are made use of in collaborating mixes for the private client’ s needs to accomplish ideal end result. The combination made use of are based upon understanding of the private client’s fundamental bony and soft cells physiological foundation and also accurate analysis of the aging modifications which have actually taken place. These aging changes can be normally associated to people age, ethnic background, as well as ecological as well as genetical factors.
Thermage and Ultherapy are both energy based training devices which work by sinking RF (Thermage) or Finder (Ulthera) energy to heat up the collagen as well as tighten the connective tissue below the skin. These are suitable in those clients who really feel the collagen in their soft cells are getting too soft and being attracted downward, which can be really felt even in early 30’s for some clients. Both equipments have sufficient subtleties that the Surgeon requires to be well versed in the optimal use the equipments as well as in whom to match with which machine. These makers rate as stand-alone procedure in patients that are in their 30’s to 50’s. Often they are utilized combined with Botox as well as Fillers to attain higher collaborating result.
In individuals from 40’s as well as up that keep in mind sagging of mid-face with constant deepening of the tear nasolabial, trough, and marionette line as well as appearance of the dreadful jowling as well as neck laxity, either Thermage or Ultherapy is advised to tighten their indigenous collagen in the soft tissue. After conclusion of one side, client is brought up to a sitting setting so people can directly envision and also contrast the raised vs unlifted side as well as with their pre-operative photos. Due to nearly no bruising and also swelling, some clients resume their complete activities and also return to dine or function out on the same day.
If a client provides with reduced eyelid puffiness which is serious sufficient to be seen even from across the area, reduced eyelid surgery can be done under local anesthetic with nearly no bruising, allowing recovery duration to be no even more than a few days to a week at the majority of. Including these two “Mini Surgical” treatments in my collection of alternatives to facelift surgery is imperative in my technique since in my viewpoint, the appearance of the fat bag under the eyes and also loss of facial volume are really the first indications of aging changes visible in clients as early as late 20’s and also early 30’s. Not a week passes by with patients coming in wanting some type of “training” surgery due to their “weary” and “gaunt” appearance when in reality, reduced eyelid surgery is what they needed to clear of their weary appearance due to puffy eye bags and quantity repair as well as re-contouring with fat transfer is what they needed to free of the gaunt and extended look.
