Selecting the Appropriate Commercial HVAC System for Your Business Requirements
Maintaining a comfortable indoor environment is critical for businesses, and...
In HVAC installation, proper electrical connections are crucial. Complex machinery like HVAC systems need precise electrical connections in order to work properly. Incorrect electrical connections can lead to a number of problems, such as higher energy demand, system failure, or even fire danger. Here are a few explanations for why installing HVAC systems need adequate electrical connections.
Safety: Safety is the main factor that makes proper electrical connections necessary for HVAC installation. When placed improperly, the high voltages and currents used by HVAC systems can be dangerous. Electrical shock or electrocution is less likely when the system is grounded properly thanks to proper electrical connections. Additionally, good electrical connections can lower the possibility of a fire hazard and prevent overheating.
Efficiency: Your HVAC system needs proper electrical connections in order to operate at peak performance. The system may consume more energy than necessary as a result of an improperly built electrical connection, raising energy costs. A properly constructed electrical connection guarantees that the system is operating at its peak effectiveness, cutting down on energy use and ultimately saving you money.
System Longevity: In order to keep your HVAC system running for a long time, proper electrical connections are also necessary. The system may overwork itself and fail early as a result of a poorly built electrical connection. An electrical connection that has been connected correctly guarantees that the system is operating as intended, lowering the possibility of damage and increasing the life of your HVAC system.
Compliance with Regulations: Having safe electrical connections is also crucial for meeting state and federal guidelines. To ensure their reliability and safety, HVAC systems must be installed in accordance with the relevant electrical codes. Regulation non-compliance is punishable by penalties and judicial action.
Warranty Protection: For warranty protection, proper electrical connections are crucial. The majority of HVAC systems include a warranty that will pay for repairs or replacements if they are needed because of manufacturing flaws or improper installation. However, if the system malfunctions as a result of poor installation, the warranty might be void, and you might be liable for the price of any necessary repairs or replacements.
Hiring a professional HVAC contractor is crucial for safe and effective electrical connections during HVAC installation. An expert HVAC contractor is qualified to install your system properly because they have the necessary training and certification to work with complex electrical equipment. They can make sure that the system is connected legally, effectively, and safely.
Always examine a contractor’s licensing and insurance and get references before hiring them. A trustworthy contractor will be happy to give you recommendations, documentation of insurance and license, and references. Ask them questions to gauge their experience with HVAC installation.
Hiring a licensed and experienced HVAC contractor is the best way to ensure proper electrical connections in your HVAC installation. If you’re based in Palm Beach or Martin County, Florida, contact Kyzar Air Conditioning for your HVAC needs.

The Chiefs and Larry Johnson seem to have found an acceptable compromise: while his two-week suspension is upheld, he will only miss out on a week’s worth of pay. Just days ago it seemed as though the Chiefs were planning to release Johnson, but as Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio says, things are far from decided.
There was speculation that a settlement could include Johnson’s release, but it remains unclear what the Chiefs will do with him once he’s eligible to return. Reading the tea leaves, it looks like Johnson could be stuck in Kansas City for the rest of the season, even if his playing time is reduced.
For more on the suspension settlement, head to Arrowhead Pride for their take on the situation.

$72.6 Billion Squandered on Nuclear Weapons
International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN)
(June 7, 2021) — During a global pandemic, the 9 nuclear-armed states prioritized their weapons of mass destruction with a major increase in their already massive spending. ICAN’s new report “Complicit: 2020 Global Nuclear Weapons Spending” exposes one year of the cycle of spending on nuclear weapons from countries to defence contractors to lobbyists and think tanks and back again.
In 2020, the report estimates that nine countries spent $72.6 billion on nuclear weapons, $27.7 billion of which went to a dozen defence contractors to build nuclear weapons. Those contractors then spent $117 million lobbying policy makers and up to $10 million funding think tanks writing about nuclear weapons to ensure they can continue to line their pockets with nuclear weapon contracts for years to come.
To Hell with the Risk: The Arms Industry Is Banking on the Bomb
$72.6 billion. That’s how much the nine nuclear-armed states spent on their nuclear weapons in 2020 during the worst pandemic in a century and when the treaty banning nuclear weapons became law, according to a new ICAN report. It’s an inflation-adjusted increase of $1.4 billion from last year.
But that’s not all. The report, “Complicit: 2020 Global Nuclear Weapons Spending,” dug through thousands of pages of contracts and annual reports to bring you the full picture of nuclear weapons spending. Because it’s not just countries’ governments that are responsible for wasting resources on weapons of mass destruction. Companies, lobbyists and think tanks are all complicit in 2020 spending on nuclear weapons.
In 2020, the report finds that less than a dozen companies got $27.7 billion contracts to work on nuclear weapons. Those companies then turned around and spent $117 million lobbying decision makers to spend more money on defense. And they also spent upwards of $10 million funding most of the major think tanks that research and write about policy solutions about nuclear weapons.
This spending is immoral and contrary to international law. Every actor in the circle is complicit. It’s time to speak up. Tell your country to stop spending money on nuclear weapons and join the TPNW. Protest a company that’s building these weapons near you. Ask think tanks to stop accepting money from the companies building nuclear weapons.
Or help us spread the word. We made a one-minute video exposing this cycle, which we the world (and your friends and family) must see. Together, we can stop the cycle.
Alicia Sanders-Zakre is the Policy and Research Coordinator at ICAN.
Complicit: Nuclear Weapons Spending Increased by $1.4 Billion in 2020
$72.6 billion is how much nine nuclear-armed countries spent on their nuclear weapons as the pandemic spread in 2020 and a global treaty banning nuclear weapons took full effect. The report “Complicit: 2020 Global Nuclear Weapons Spending” details the spending of these nine countries on their arsenals, the companies that profited, and the lobbyists hired to keep nuclear weapons in business.
This amounts to $137,666 every minute, and (after adjusting for inflation) represents an increase of $1.4 billion from last year.
The US spent three times more than the next in line — a whopping $37.4 billion. China was the only other country crossing the ten billion mark, spending $10.1 billion. Russia had the third-highest spending at $8 billion — though the UK’s $6.2 billion and the French $5.7 billion weren’t so far behind. India, Israel, Pakistan also each spent over a billion on their arsenals, while North Korea spent $667 million.
Why would these countries spend so much, in the midst of the worst global pandemic in a century? The report shows that it’s not security interests, or even a resumption of so-called great power competition driving this increased spending, it’s business.
After digging through thousands of contracts, annual reports and lobby disclosures, the report shows a dozen companies got $27.7 billion in new and modified contracts to work on nuclear weapons. Those companies then turned around and spent $117 million lobbying decision makers to spend more money on defense. And they also spent upwards of $10 million funding most of the major think tanks that research and write about policy solutions about nuclear weapons.
It is time to expose this shady cycle and end this outrageous waste of public funds on weapons of mass destruction. Help us spread the word.
Despite Pandemic, Global Spending on Nukes Swelled $1.4 Billion in 2020
The US accounted for more than half of the total spending on nuclear weapons for 2020
(June 7, 2021) — Despite the pandemic and the damage lockdowns did to the world’s economy, global spending on nuclear weapons rose by $1.4 billion in 2020, with the US accounting for more than half of the total spending on nukes for the year.
According to a report from the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), the world’s nine nuclear-armed states spent $72.6 billion on such weapons in 2020, up from $71.2 billion in 2019. Out of the $72.6 billion, the US spent $37.4 billion, more than half of the total.
According to ICAN, the second-highest spender was China. ICAN estimated Beijing spent $10.1 billion on nuclear weapons in 2020. In third was Russia, at $8 billion, followed by the UK ($6.2 billion), France ($5.7 billion), India ($2.48 billion), Israel ($1.1 billion), Pakistan ($1 billion), and North Korea ($667 million).
ICAN works to promote the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), an international treaty that calls for the prohibition of nuclear weapons and, ultimately, the elimination of such arms. The TPNW technically came into force in January of this year, but nuclear-armed states refuse to abide by it.
The report reads: “Nuclear-armed states spent an obscene amount of
money on illegal weapons of mass destruction in 2020, while the majority of the world’s countries support a global nuclear weapons ban.”
The report details how much money US and other arms companies made on nuclear weapons compared to how much they spent on lobbying efforts. For example, the US company Northrop Grumman was awarded $13.7 billion just for nuclear weapons contracts. The company spent $13.3 million for lobbying efforts in Washington and spent $2 million funding think tanks, a small investment to be awarded so many billions in government contracts.

Raisa freed from psychiatric hospital, thanks to you
Raisa Radchenko, a 70 year old human rights activist and grandmother from the Ukraine, has been released from the psychiatric hospital where she was being forcibly treated. More about this case
Raisa’s daughter, Daryna Radchenko, has expressed her thanks for your support.
She said the situation started to improve after you began to take action in response to our Pocket Protest texts and Urgent Action alerts, culminating in her mother’s release on 26 July.
Thank you for responding so quickly to our calls for help. If you’re not already in Pocket Protest, our text action network, you can receive actions like this direct to your mobile phone by texting PROTEST and your full name to 70505 (over 14s only*) or by signing up online
Recovering at home
Raisa is currently recovering from her ordeal at home with her daughter and grandson. According to Daryna, Raisa is receiving medical care for physical complaints which worsened after she was given strong psychiatric drugs while being treated in the hospital.
It remains unclear on what basis Raisa was given this ‘treatment’.
We strongly suspect that Raisa’s detention was less to do with ensuring her wellbeing or because she posed a danger to society, and far more to do with the fact she is an anti-corruption campaigner with a history of causing trouble for the authorities in the Zaporizhzhya region where she lives.
The authorities still haven’t actually told Raisa or her family what psychiatric illness she was meant to be suffering from. However, on 25 July officials from the Ministry of Health ruled that the treatment for this mystery illness had been successful.
The head doctor at the hospital where she had been held since 11 July announced this was why she would be transferred to ‘outpatient treatment’ instead. Call us cynical, but we again suspect it was the pressure you placed on the authorities that led to her release, rather than a miraculous recovery.

While Raisa is safe, the wrong she suffered has yet to be righted.
Until the authorities cancel the original treatment order, there is always a chance Raisa could become an ‘in-patient’, detained against her will and without any legal or medical basis, once more.
Criminal investigation needed
We’re continuing to call for a criminal investigation into why a woman with no history of psychiatric illness was subjected to treatment against her will.
We also want the authorities to confirm exactly what they were treating Raisa for, and for her to be given an impartial examination by a recognised psychiatrist outside the Zaporizhzhya region.
And what we want most of all is for Raisa Radchenko to be well enough to get back out on the streets of Zaporizhzhya with her megaphone, defending human rights without fear of being harmed or silenced.
To support our ongoing call for justice for Raisa Radchenko, please send a message to Ukraine’s prosecutor general using the details in the Urgent Action casesheet below.

Tuscany, natural spas, history and wine
Thermal baths, hidden treasuries and culinary excellence
Maremma is a vast geographical area with hills and contrasting colours that change with the seasons. Here, the "green" tourism is what attracts visitors: in a beautiful frame of plantations, large fields and old farmhouses, there are many ways to explore this land: horse riding, cycling and other outdoor activities.
The area around Castiglione d'Orcia offers a unique experience of natural spa. You can reach the creek through a steep narrow path. Through its course, the water stalls in small pools, that reach the exceptional temperature of 48°C. Other spots for natural spas are in Saturnia. These natural sources of sulphuric water are beneficial for peoples' health. They are, strange but true, absolutely for free, allowing even low-cost tourists to experience luxurious and relaxing thermal baths. In Saturnia, the pools are always open, leaving visitors with the opportunity to have a midnight bath under the starts and completely surrounded by nature.
Tuscany is also well known for its historical sites. In Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa you can see the famous leaning tower. Moreover, there are some less known treasures to be discovered in the whole region, such as small Medieval villages in the hills. In Sansepolcro, for example, you can see a more traditional side of Italy: it is a small village full of narrow streets, little churches and small squares, where you can visit the Aboca Museum. Here, the ancient tradition of medical herbs is exposed through botanical and pharmaceutical old books.
To conclude, Tuscany is very well known for its culinary tradition. Besides Chianina, the thick juicy stake from the local cows, you can have a taste of some excellent wines, like Chianti. Its name comes from the valley it is produced in. Here you can have an all-round experience starting from a visit to the wineries.

Younger adults often take social opportunities for granted, and it is not uncommon to hear them complain when they have too many social events on their schedule. However, seniors sometimes need to seek out opportunities to engage with other people since aging can impact their ability to network. Today, caregivers know socialization is a priority for seniors because it helps them in the following ways.
Prevent Mental Health Issues
Isolation can cause several negative emotions in seniors who live alone and have very few visitors. Without someone else to talk to, seniors may ruminate on the past or worry about the present. Over time, isolation can lead to depression and anxiety symptoms that disrupt a senior’s quality of life.
If your elderly loved one needs help maintaining a high quality of life while aging in place, reach out to Home Care Assistance, a trusted provider of Coral Gables home care. Services our caregivers provide include transportation to and from medical appointments and social events, nutritious meal preparation, assistance with daily exercise, and help with everyday tasks like bathing, grooming, and light housekeeping.
Keep Learning New Things
Learning and gaining new insights strengthens neural connections that help seniors retain their memory. For this reason, caregivers need to provide their loved ones with as many social opportunities as possible. Arrange for your loved one to spend time with people of different ages and from varying backgrounds so he or she will be exposed to new information.
Increase Motivation for Staying Healthy
Seniors may lose their sense of purpose if they think no one else cares. Knowing friends and family members will visit them often gives seniors a reason to stay healthy. Family members can also boost their loved one’s health by going for a walk together or sharing a nutritious meal. However, family caregivers may need assistance caring for their loved ones and encouraging them to make healthier lifestyle choices.
Families who find it difficult to care for their aging loved ones without assistance can benefit greatly from professional respite care. Coral Gables, FL, family caregivers who need a break from their caregiving duties can turn to Home Care Assistance. Using our proprietary Balanced Care Method, our respite caregivers can encourage your loved one to eat well, exercise regularly, get plenty of mental and social stimulation, and focus on other lifestyle factors that promote longevity.
Find Support During Difficult Times
There are many times when seniors must rely on their social networks to get through challenging situations. For instance, a senior may need to have a professional caregiver visit more often to boost his or her morale and overall wellbeing. Seniors also find that sharing a laugh with friends in the community helps them shake off bad news such as a medical diagnosis. For this reason, it is important to make sure your loved one visits his or her friends and neighbors.
Strengthen Memory and Communication Skills
A person’s memory begins to decrease in the senior years, and sitting at home in silence only hastens the process. However, using vocabulary strengthens language skills and recalling memories boosts a senior’s cognitive abilities. Make sure your loved one enjoys a chat several times each day to keep his or her brain engaged.
Consider hiring a professional caregiver if your aging loved one needs assistance with daily tasks or someone to socialize with on a regular basis. A Coral Gables in-home caregiver can help your elderly loved one manage his or her health in a variety of ways. If your loved one needs encouragement to exercise more often, eat healthier foods, or socialize on a regular basis, an in-home caregiver can address these and many other health-related concerns. To hire a compassionate, professionally trained caregiver for your elderly loved one, call Home Care Assistance at 1 (305) 964-5636 today.

We rely everyday on the safety of our vehicles, assuming that with proper care and maintenance, they will safely guide us to our destination. What some consumers are unaware of, however, is the vast number of defective vehicles. Vehicle defects, whether by design or manufacturer, are increasingly common, taking the lives of thousands each year. In 2011 alone, over 15 million vehicles were recalled nationwide. Thus far, 2013 is on track to be a record setting year for automobile recalls.
Toyota kicked off the year by recalling over 1 million vehicles. The recall included Corolla and Lexus vehicles, and was attributed to airbag defects and malfunctioning windshield wipers. More recently, Toyota issued a worldwide recall on 33,000 cars, pickup trucks, and commercial vehicles. The recall called for the replacement of a defective part that may cause engine failure. Many of the recalled models are in Japan, but several U.S. pickup trucks are affected. The source of the defect is an engine valve spring susceptible to cracking and breaking over time. Additionally, another 600,000 Toyota Sienna minivans were recalled due to a defect in the shift lever, which makes it possible for the vehicle to be put in driver without depressing the brakes. Twenty-one minor accidents were attributed to the defect.
Nissan recently recalled over 100,000 Infinite M sedans from 2006-2010. This call back is due to a defect in the car that creates the potential for it to lose power. Unstable sensors can cause the vehicle to stop while idling or even when driving. Nissan claims no injuries were associated with the defect, but has received multiple complaints.
Over six million vehicles have been recalled this year alone for airbag defects. Toyota was once again involved in the automobile call back, announcing that over 880,000 of its vehicles had electrical problems that could prevent airbags from deploying in a crash. Honda recalled over 300,000 vehicles for airbag defects that caused the safety devices to inflate with too much pressure in a crash, sending flying metal and plastic pieces which can cause death or injury to the driver or passenger.
This alarming look at the sheer volume of automobile call backs should give consumers pause before putting total faith in the safety of their vehicle. Car manufacturers have a duty to warn consumers of potential defects, but they do not always do so in a timely manner. When manufacturers wait to announce recalls, serious injury and death result. In 2010, industry giant Toyota was fined $16 million by the U.S. government after investigations revealed the company was aware of a sticking gas pedal for months before issuing a recall.
Defects in automobiles have been linked dozens of wrongful death cases and thousands of personal injury actions. Some of the most common defective parts in automobiles include: tires; brakes; sensors and valves; airbags; safety belts; sticking gas pedals; and ignition interlocks.
If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in an accident involving a defective automobile, it is imperative you consult with a licensed Texas automobile accident attorney as soon as possible. You may have the right to recover for your losses in a personal injury or wrongful death action.
Tate Law Offices, P.C., has represented the victims of automobile accidents, including those involving defective vehicles, for over two decades. We are a team of car accident professionals, with the skill, knowledge, and passion to fight diligently for your full recovery. Call us today at 888-662-3892 to schedule a free consultation.

Florida Ear, Nose, Throat & Facial Plastic Surgery Center
Otolaryngology located in Orlando, FL & Kissimmee, FL
When the septum inside your nose is displaced severely enough to cause congestion, sinus infections, or nosebleeds, you have a deviated septum that should be repaired. Wade Han, MD, FACS, at Florida Ear, Nose, Throat & Facial Plastic Surgery has helped many patients regain their ability to breathe, sometimes improving the appearance of their nose along the way, by realigning their deviated septum. Schedule an appointment online or call one of the offices in Orlando or Kissimmee, Florida.
Deviated Septum Q & A
What is a deviated septum?
The septum is a thin wall of cartilage inside your nose that separates your two nostrils. When the septum is displaced or moved over to one side, it’s called a deviated septum. If your deviated septum is severe, it can partially or completely block one of the nasal passageways. This restricts airflow and makes it hard to breathe.
What symptoms will I develop due to a deviated septum?
You may not have any symptoms if the deviation is mild. However, if your deviated septum is severe enough to cause symptoms, you’ll have:
- Nasal congestion
- Blocked nostril (one or both)
- Sinus infections
Some patients develop postnasal drip, headaches, and facial pain on the side of their face where the nostril is diminished. A deviated septum increases your risk of sinus inflammation and chronic sinusitis.
How is a deviated septum treated?
Decongestants or antihistamines may relieve your symptoms when you have a mildly deviated septum. Otherwise, the only treatment for a deviated septum is an outpatient surgical procedure called septoplasty.
During a septoplasty, Dr. Han straightens the septum and makes sure it goes down the center of your nose. The procedure may require trimming, repositioning the tissue, and replacing some of the cartilage.
Sometimes the bones in the nose are crooked and responsible for pushing the septum to one side. If that’s the case, Dr. Han repositions the bones. When the problem with the septum is along the bridge of your nose, he may need to place extra strips of cartilage along the septum.
Before you go home, you’ll receive detailed instructions about how to care for your nose after your surgery. Dr. Han may ask you to avoid strenuous activities, avoid blowing your nose, and elevate your head when sleeping. It may take several days for the swelling to go down, but most patients are back to school or work in about a week.
It takes time for the tissues inside your nose to heal, and your appearance changes slightly during the healing process. The tissues are usually stable in 3-6 months, but they may continue to change for a year or longer.
If you have symptoms of a deviated septum, call Florida Ear, Nose, Throat & Facial Plastic Surgery or book an appointment online.

On June 19, 1910 Sonora Smart Dodd held a Father’s Day celebration at the YMCA in Spokane, Washington. William Jackson Smart was her father, a civil war veteran and a single parent who raised his six children there. She first proposed the idea at the Old Centenary Presbyterian Church where she was a member. She told the pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday to honor them like the mothers did. She initially suggested June 5th which was her father’s birthday, but the pastors did not have enough time to prepare the sermons. On June 19, 1910, sermons were conducted honoring fathers on the first Father’s Day.
Dodd stopped promoting the celebration in the 1920s as she was studying at the Art Institute of Chicago and it faded into obscurity, even in Spokane. She returned in the 1930s and began promoting the celebration again, raising awareness at a national level. She had the help of the Father’s Day Council that was founded by the New York Associated Men’s Wear Retailers to consolidate and systematize the holiday’s commercial promotion by 1938. The holiday was resisted for its first few decades, viewing it as only an attempt by merchants to replicate the commercial success of Mother’s day. By mid 1980s the Father’s Day Council said it had become a second Christmas for all the men’s gift-oriented industries.
Congress introduced a national recognition of the holiday in 1913. President Woodrow Wilson spoke at a Father’s Day celebration in Spokane. He wanted to make it an officially recognized federal holiday but Congress again resisted. Other attempts were made to make that day officially observed, but still was defeated by Congress.
In 1957 Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal accusing Congress of ignoring fathers for 40 years while honoring mothers, singling out one of the two parents. President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers in 1966. He designated the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. It was made a permanent national holiday six years later when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972.

Children between the ages of six months and five years have also been included.
There is a general increase in cases but they remain mostly mild.
The Spanish government has finally given approval to a lifting of remaining Covid measures.
The Spanish government is expected to give formal approval next week.
It has been suggested that the requirement will "soon" be lifted.
Experts say that the mask continues to be particularly recommended for people with respiratory symptoms.


Courtesy of the lovely folk at the New Local Government Network, I got to hear one of the new local government Ministers, Grant Shapps MP, speaking earlier this week. He said a number of welcome and interesting things about reducing the extent to which Whitehall gets in the way of Councils doing sensible things on the ground. He also said that the financial climate would be horrendous and local government would be in no way insulated from that, in fact quite the opposite. We’d kind of guessed that.
Then he said that what the private sector does, and he thinks we should learn from this, is to do more for less, and be more efficient. The man’s clearly some sort of organisational genius, I mean I personally had never thought of that. I don’t know about any of you. Less money, but the same broad outcomes? Apparently it’s what they do at Sainsbury’s. They don’t say “Good food costs more at Sainsbury’s”. I’m not sure what he thinks local government’s advertising slogan would be, something like “reassuringly expensive”?

This year has been turbulent for many industries with the uncertainty of the pandemic causing lockdowns and businesses to shut down with little warning. While the property industry saw a drop in activity in March for the first lockdown, the last six months have been very interesting.
The Stamp Duty Incentive announced in July is certainly a factor that has helped a lot of buyers and sellers have the confidence to move, although demand increased between May and July post lockdown when the property industry could reopen and carry out viewings and valuations in person.
Across the Spicerhaart network, we saw demand for viewings and valuations in July above the level of the 1st week in January which is typically a peak period of the year for demand and up on the same time in 2019.
When the Stamp Duty holiday was introduced and the potential average saving of up to £4,500 was announced, demand for the larger homes soared. The demand for these homes helped to free up the market and availability of all types of homes.
Rightmove have reported that due to increased demand, the average time to secure a buyer has dropped by 12 days from 62 to 50 days on the market. With all the sales agreed in the latter part of this year, conveyancing and solicitors have faced exceptional demand from those hoping to complete before the incentive deadline of the 31st March 2021. Rightmove found that sales agreed were up 58% in October compared to the same time last year.
According to a recent article, some agents are calling for the stamp duty incentive to be extended to avoid transactions already in place falling through. So we will see how this unfolds in the following months but it’s safe to say this year has been unlike any in recent years.

A Comedian Takes on Cancer
- Comedian Kathy Griffin, 60, is recovering from stage 1 lung cancer surgery in which her vocal cords were damaged.
- To help with her voice a doctor gave her a collagen shot in her paralyzed vocal cord. The procedure did not go as planned, but Griffin seems to be doing better and is giving her fans updates and making jokes about the whole experience.
- Declining smoking rates and improvements in surgical techniques and radiation delivery have greatly improved the outlook for people with lung cancer in recent years.
The 60-year-old announced her stage 1 lung cancer diagnosis via social media on Aug. 2. The cancer seemed to be contained to one part of her lung, so she underwent surgery to have half of her left lung removed shortly after sharing the news.Read More

“They put the scope down me and it’s got like a little camera, and the doctor’s watching the screen, and then he takes the needle and puts it in my neck like freakin’ Frankenstein!” Griffin said in her video. “It was like almost the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life, but I’m thinking, no no people do this all the time.”
Then, her pain got so bad that her throat closed up and the scope got caught in her throat.
“I’m choking, and I can’t breathe, so then he like finally takes it out and I’m doubled over coughing my guts out, and of course the doctor’s like ‘This never happens, this never happens.'”
She left the doctor’s sobbing, throwing up and in pain. Still, she has a good attitude about the whole thing and makes light of her unusual experience.
“In my last video, I talked about having complications, and about being in the lower three percentile, so I guess for this procedure I’m in the lower one percentile,” Griffin said. “It’s been getting a little better every day, but anyway that’s the latest dispatch from the lower three percentile. Love you guys.”
Understanding Lung Cancer
Lung cancer, the second most common type of cancer, is the leading cause of cancer deaths for men and women in the United States. Diagnosis and treatment of the disease can be tricky since symptoms often don’t appear until the cancer has spread. An initial symptom, for example, could be as serious as a seizure if the lung cancer has already spread to the brain. But other symptoms can include increased coughing, chest pain, unexplained weight loss, shortness of breath, wheezing, losing your voice or persistent infections like bronchitis or pneumonia.
The two main types of lung cancer are non-small cell, which makes up 85 percent of cases, and small-cell. These types act differently and, accordingly, require different types of treatment. Dr. Patrick Forde, a thoracic oncologist at Johns Hopkins Medicine, tells SurvivorNet about how distinguishing between the two types – and their subtypes – can be very beneficial.
“Within that non-small cell category, there’s a subtype called non-squamous adenocarcinoma, and that’s the group of patients for whom genetic testing is very important on the tumor,” he explains. “Genetic testing is looking for mutations in the DNA, in the tumor, which are not present in your normal DNA.”
Non-Smokers and Lung Cancer
Declining smoking rates have lead to an improved outlook for lung cancer since cigarette smoking is the number one risk factor for the disease. In fact, The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention states that cigarette smoking is linked to about 80 to 90 percent of lung cancer deaths, and people who smoke cigarettes are 15 to 30 times more likely to get lung cancer or die from lung cancer than people who don’t smoke.
It’s important to remember, however, that even people like Kathy Griffin who’ve never smoked before can still get lung cancer. The CDC reports that in the United States, about 10 to 20 percent of lung cancers, or 20,000 to 40,000 lung cancers each year, happen in people who’ve never smoked.
“Some lung cancers are from unknown exposure to air pollution, radon, or asbestos,” Dr. Raja Flores, system chair of thoracic surgery at Mount Sinai previously told SurvivorNet in a previous interview. “We also see more never-smokers with lung cancer who have a family history of it.”
Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer. It’s responsible for anywhere from 3 to 16 percent of cancer cases depending on the levels present in a given area, according to the World Health Organization, but smokers are still 25 times more at risk from radon than non-smokers.
Another possibility for the cause of lung cancer in a non-smoker can be second-hand smoke. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 7,000 adults die of lung cancer annually from breathing secondhand smoke.
Air pollution, family history, HIV or AIDs can also all impact the chances of a non-smoker getting lung cancer. No matter what, it’s important to not rule out the disease just because you don’t smoke – a fact that Donna Hunting knows all too well.
Just like Griffin, Hunting was a non-smoker when she was diagnosed with lung cancer. But the active 54-year-old’s cancer had progressed further given that she had stage four non-small cell lung cancer.
“That day was shattering to my family and to me,” she previously told SurvivorNet. “It’s not a smokers’ disease. If you have lungs, you can get lung cancer.”
Fortunately for Hunting, testing revealed that her tumors had a mutation in a specific gene called EGFR. This meant that doctors were able to give her a pill to block those mutations and effectively rid her body of the disease.
“After 50 days, miraculously, my PET scan showed no evidence of disease,” she said.
Hunting was on took the drug for over a year, until it stopped working as well. Now she’s on a different daily medication, but – thanks to advancements in treatment – she’s able to live with the disease.
“Cancer is a part of my life now, but it isn’t my whole life. I’m not letting cancer define me,” Hunting said.

' INFORMATION CARD Filed Jan. 2. 1968 INVENTOR Patented Apr. 28, 1970 3,508,356 INFORMATION CARD Daniel D. Ross, 305 Arterburn Road, Louisville, Ky. 40222 Filed Jan. 2, 1968, Ser. No. 694,623 Int. Cl. G09f 7/18 U.S. Cl. 40-129 3 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A plastic information card having windows on a face thereof for recording related iternsA of information, and magnetic tape on the other face thereof for magnetically retaining the card on a metal surface of an object bearing a relation to the information on the card.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to cards for storing related items of information, and more particularly to a plastic card having spaces defined on one face thereof for recording related items of information directly on the surface of the card.
In connection with automotive maintenance, it is difficult for the operator of a vehicle to keepr track of the various details involved, such as, the mileage at which the oil, oil filter and air cleaner are to be changed, the mileage or time for the next lubrication, and so forth. Most service stations do have a slip of paper on which much of this information is to be recorded by the service station attendant at the time of servicing. Normally the paper is filled out and adhesively bonded to the frame of the car door after the work has been completed. However, this often is not done, or the slip of paper is not completely filled out, and in general this system is not convenient or satisfactory for the operator of the vehicle.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plastic card is provided having a plurality of lspaces on one face thereof in which the operator of a vehicle can write in the mileage, date or other information pertinent to the maintenance item identified by a legend associated with the space. Spaces are provided for all of the important maintenance items, and additional spaces may be provided for other relevant information, such as, the type of oil to be used, the tire pressure, and so forth. Magnetic tape is secured to the opposite face of the card to enable the card to be magnetically retained in a convenient position within the car, such as on the inside of the glove compartment door.
The card is designed to be filled out by the operator with the mileage or date each of the various items are to be attended to, as Well as the other information called for by the card. The spaces relating to items which must be attended to at a certain mileage or date have a smaller space associated therewith for receiving a check mark to be recorded by the operator when the date or mileage is reached. When the driver takes the car in for servicing, the check marks indicate the various items requiring service at that time. Although the card is particularly suited for use in connection with automotive maintenance, the items of information to be recorded thereon can be varied to suit many other applications.
The features of novelty of the present invention will be specifically pointed out or will otherwise become apparent when referring, for a better understanding of the invention, to the following description taken in conjuctron with the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a view of one face of a card illustrating one embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 2 is a view of one edge of the card of FIG. l.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to FIGS. l and 2, an information card 10 is illustrated for recording information relating to the maintenance of an automotive vehicle. The information card 10 comprises a flat, rectangular body 12 preferably made of a suitable plastic material stiff enough to provide a good writing surface without having to place something behind it. It is also preferred that the plastic material have a white or other light color so that information can be written directly thereon by pen or pencil in a manner to clearly stand out. Writing directly on the plastic enables the information to be erased many times without damaging the surface. Alternatively, the card could be made out of a plastic material which is not suitable for writing, and one or both faces of the card treated or coated to provide a good writing surface which will withstand erasures.
The face 14 of the body 12 is painted with a decorative coating 16 in a manner to define windows 18 for recording the items of information. In addition, some of the windows 18 have smaller windows 20 adjacent thereto for a purpose to be described. Since the surface of the windows 18 and 20 is formed by the face 14 of the body 12 and not by the decorative painted coating 16, the aforementioned writing surface which can withstand erasures is provided in a simple and economical manner.
Each of the windows 18 with `the exception of the largest window in the upper corner of the card has a suitable legend associated therewith describing the information to be recorded in the window. In using the card, the operator of the vehicle can record in the windows 18 having the smaller windows 20 associated therewith, the mileage or date at which the various items are to be attended to. When the mileage or date is reached for a particular item, the operator can insert a check mark in the 4window 20 associated therewith. The car can be taken in for servicing at that time or the Operator can wait until additional items are checked so that all of these can be serviced at the same time. Thus, at any given time, the card functions as a quick reminder of the items ready for servicing and when the remaining items will be ready for servicing.
The large window in the upper right corner of the card is left Without a legend so that it can be used for miscellaneous information. If the card 10 is distributed to customers as a courtesy by an oil company, the name of the company could be inserted in this Window. The space to the left of this window can be used for advertising or other purposes.
Magnetic tapes 22 and 24 are adhesively bonded to the back face of the body 12 along the edges thereof to magnetically retain the card in a convenient position inside the automotive vehicle to which the service information applies. For example, the card can be retained on the inside of the glove compartment door or in some other position on the dashboard. The space on the back face of the card between the magnetic tapes 22 and 24 can be used for recording additional miscellaneous information.
Cards to be used for other than automotive maintenance purposes, would have appropriate legends beneath the windows to designate the items of information involved. A good example of an alternative use for the card would be for recording various items stored in a refrigerator that must be replaced from time to time, or items that are perishable and must be used within a limited period of time. The magnetic tape will retain the card on the refrigerator itself so that it is accessible for use at all times.
While it will be apparent that the embodiment of the invention herein disclosed is Well calculated to fulfill the objects of the invention, it Will be appreciated that the invention is susceptible to modification, variation and change Without departing from the proper scope or fair meaning of the subjoined claims.
What is claimed is:
1. An information card comprising a flat body having opposed faces, at least one of said faces providing a writing surface suitable for information to be recorded thereon by a Writing instrument, an uninterrupted nonerasable coating on said one face deiining a plurality of spaced windows through which said one face is exposed for contact by the writing instrument, said body being 2. A card as defined in claim 3 wherein said body is made out of a plastic material which inherently provides a suitable Writing surface.
3. A card as defined in claim 1 including a pair of strips of magnetic tape adhesively bonded to the other of said faces in parallel spaced apart relation for magnetically retaining said card on a metal surface.

When that noise consists of something like bulletins over a PA system (for instance throughout a scene at an airport) you may’t hear what’s being mentioned. Nevertheless, oftentimes, closed captioning will print it. Closed captioning may read “Flight forty four now able to depart at Gate three”, but you’ll be able to’t hear this. Obviously lacking this does not detract from the show, but it’s enjoyable to read other issues which are happening within the background.
Probably 60% to 70% of the problems that may occur for the new gardener may be traced again to a single thing, the soil. Good light fluffy effectively drained soil is what you might want to grow a successful garden whether or not giant or small the soil is the key. A good soil will be full of compost wealthy in natural matter that you’ve got added and worked into the topsoil 10″ to 12″ deep. Beginning with this type of soil will make your vegetables develop like nobody’s business. Together with the compost you will want to add some bone meal to supply enough phosphorus to the soil. An necessary part of this soil conditioning will to be able to add sufficient vitamins together with the compost and that is best achieved by way of manure. Adding to the soil ample manure will insure that the soil can have sufficient nitrogen to feed the leaves and get the plants growing. Ensure that you employ composted manure. Contemporary manure would burn the plants roots and cause the plants to die.
