An elm tree in Washington Square Park, nicknamed "The Hanging Tree" or
"The Hanging Elm," is reputed to be the oldest living tree in
Manhattan. It dates back to the late 18th Century.
"Washington Square Park
Originally a marsh surrounding Minetta Brook, in the early years of
New York this area was used as a graveyard for slaves and yellow fever
victims, a dueling ground and a place of execution. Near the northwest
corner can be found the Hanging Tree, perhaps the oldest tree in
Manhattan. The Marquis de Lafayette is said to have witnessed the
festive hanging of 20 highwaymen here in 1824."

"Washington Square Park & Arch
This is the heart of the Village and the main gathering place for
Villagers and visitors alike. Park history goes back to 1797 when the
area was designated as a pauper's burial ground. The site was also
popular with early New Yorkers as a dueling ground, and was used for
public executions. A large tree in the northwest corner of the park is
the famous (or infamous) Hanging Elm, said to be the oldest tree in
New York Architecture Walks: Greenwich Village
"In the city's early days, when most of New York's population still
inhabited Manhattan's southern tip, a marsh covered the park. During
the 1798 cholera epidemic the city desperately needed an out-of-town
paupers' graveyard and drained the marsh to meet this exigency. On the
northwest corner of Washington Square an extremely tall English elm
tree stands only about ten feet from the park's edge. A straight line
drawn west from this tree would practically hit the front of Tony's
father's building. Some say the tree on the corner is the oldest tree
in the entire five boroughs. Oldest or not, the Hanging Elm earned its
name when Manhattan established a public gallows and chose it as the
site for executions. Perhaps the city chose the tree because of its
proximity to the paupers' graves, which allowed the city authorities
to dispatch its least valued citizens without bothering to haul the

This article has a small photo of the tree:
"Three hundred years ago, however, things were a little different in
the park. Known then as the Potters' Field, it was used as a colonial
cemetery for victims of yellow fever and cholera. Between 10,000 and
15,000 people are believed to be buried there. During, and after the
Revolutionary War it was a notorious hanging ground, where at least
three-dozen individuals were killed at the site, with the final
execution occurring in 1819. 'The Hanging Tree' is still standing in
the park at the southwest corner (pictured at right), although the
tree limb where the actual hangings took place was removed in 1992 by
the Parks Department."

Back on the highway it is a long run up to Dawson. The pavement is good, the road meanders around mountains, over hills and through gentle valleys. The path of the highway is along the eastern slope of the Dawson range of mountains roughly following the path of the Yukon River. Gas stops are between 100 km and 160 km apart, separated by the spectacular scenery showcasing northern wilderness. If your machine fails out here, it is a long walk to civilization unless another vehicle happens to pass by.
Rounding a gentle curve in the road, I am surprised by a flag lady in the middle of nowhere commanding me to stop and wait for some road construction. I shut my bike off and we have a pleasant conversation about this being her summer job and plans to return to University down south in the fall. In the five minutes I wait for the all clear sign, two vehicles line up behind me. This provides a good indication of traffic frequency along this route.
About ten minutes north of my first gas stop at Carmacks there is a pullout for the overlook of the Five Finger rapids section of the Yukon River. This was another tricky section for the early gold rushers. Floating down the Yukon on your homemade barge (assuming you made it through Miles Canyon) with the two thousand pounds of food and supplies you hauled up over the Chilkoot trail, you drift around a corner to find you are faced with the choice of floating through one of four channels separated by pillars of rock. Those that had been through this before knew that the broadest channel which seemed like the easiest one to float through was actually the most dangerous. An underwater ledge cause the water to drop two feet which capsized or broke apart many of these handmade barges. Only one narrow channel was deep enough to be safe.
Once again I am struck by another example in life where sharing your experiences openly with others can help them through a rough spot. Had the knowledgeable locals and experienced Yukoners kept their experiences to themselves, many more ‘«£greenhorn flotillas‘«ō would have been destroyed on their journey down the Yukon. How much better could we do with our mental health journeys if we would more openly share our experiences with others? I am sure the first person to lose his ‘«£outfit‘«ō through the Five Finger Rapids was not ostracized when he shared his experience with the next person to try. Why and how has society decided to allow this stigma to be attached to mental health?

England captain Alastair Cook scored his 25th Test century on the fourth morning against New Zealand at Headingley.
The left-hander has already scored more hundreds than any other England player and his latest ton will surely go down as one of his most effortless.
He resumed on 88 not out, scored at a decent rate yesterday evening while his other top-order team-mates struggled for fluency, and wasted little time in reaching three figures.
He brought up the landmark with a driven four off Tim Southee, his 15th boundary from his 152nd ball.
The match situation in the second Investec Test is a healthy one too, with England 147 for one and 327 ahead.
That was an improvement of 31 runs in the first eight overs this morning.
Jonathan Trott also improved on yesterday's stagnant scoring rate as he moved to 28no.
England must surely be pondering a declaration with rain forecast tomorrow, but may wait until lunch.

MORGANTOWN — Ongoing research with West Virginia University’s clinical and translational science program aims to find better treatments for multiple myeloma, a rare but deadly form of blood cancer.
Multiple myeloma develops in bone marrow, the spongy tissue found in the center of most bones, where red blood cells are produced. The disease itself is characterized by abnormalities in plasma cells, — a type of white blood cell, causing it to multiply out of control, increasing from about 1 percent of cells in the bone marrow to the majority of bone marrow cells.
However, the cancer can linger in the bone marrow and resurface in more resilient form, even if patients respond well to initial treatment.
“Multiple myeloma is a disease that is not curable with standard therapies,” said Lori Hazlehurst, a professor in the WVU School of Pharmacy and a co-leader of the Alexander B. Osborn Hematopoietic Malignancy and Transplantation Program within the WVU Cancer Institute. “Novel treatment strategies are required to improve the lives of patients living with it.”
Osama “Sam” Elzamzamy, a doctoral student in the West Virginia University School of Medicine, is researching a new drug for use when the condition re-emerges in its tougher-to-treat form. MTI-101, the new drug, works by targeting recurrent multiple myelomas that have grown resistant to other cancer drugs.
“Multiple myeloma is a pretty vicious disease, and there’s no cure yet. That’s what we’re trying to do with MTI-101,” Elzamzamy said. “It’s very effective. It actually causes cell death in 10 or 20 minutes.”
When used, MTI-101 overwhelms the cancer cells with calcium, which destroys them. Elzamzamy said MTI-101 — when paired with with another drug that inhibits a specific protein called GSK-3 — can amplify its calcium-blasting effects, even at a lower dose.
He explained that the treatment works by inundating the cancer cells through a specific calcium channel in the cell membranes. This means the drugs combined have a much stronger effect in helping the patient than MTI-101 or GSK-3 would on their own.
Elzamzamy and his colleagues screened hundreds of drugs but found that only GSK-3 gave MTI-101 the boost it needed when paired together.
“We tested this combination in blood samples from healthy individuals, and they both are safe so far,” Elzamzamy said. “We tested the combination on a relapsed primary patient sample, and they both functioned as we have seen in myeloma cell line models.”
Elzamzamy plans to test the drug’s safety and observe its efficacy against multiple myeloma in animal models next.
Hazlehurst, who is also Elzamzamy’s mentor, is leading the research project. They and the rest of the research team are pursuing this project through Modulation Therapeutics, a WVU-based incubator company that was co-founded by Hazlehurst. WVU’s multiple myeloma treatment research is being funded by the National Institutes of Health, which granted the university $11.2 million in early October for cancer-related research.
Dr. Abraham Kanate, one of the clinical faculty with the WVU Cancer Institute, said that multiple myeloma kills about half of those diagnosed with it within five years of diagnosis. It used to be three years, but that’s improved thanks to improved methods of treatment such as transplants following detection, but the cancer returned in about 85-90 percent of patients. Kanate said there are about 30,000-40,000 new cases of multiple myeloma every year across the United States.
“We see a majority of multiple myeloma cases in West Virginia because we’re the only transplant center,” he explained. “We definitely know there is a real need for this.”
Kanate said Elzamzamy and Hazlehurst’s research has potential but is only in the early phases of development. However, he hopes this will one day lead to clinical trials which can in turn attract more research funding from other institutions.

Aston Villa will break their transfer record for the second time this summer after agreeing a deal worth up to £26.5m with Bournemouth for Tyrone Mings.
Centre back Mings, 26, spent last season on loan at Villa from the Cherries, helping Dean Smith’s side win the Championship play-offs.
Retaining Mings was a priority for Villa but defiant Bournemouth have played hardball and made the Midlanders stump up more than the £22m they recently paid out for Brazilian forward Wesley.
Mings, who joined Bournemouth for just £8m four years ago, is due to finalise personal terms and undergo a medical in the next 48 hours ahead of becoming Villa’s sixth summer signing.
Smith wants at least one more central defender and are in pole position to land free agent Gary Cahill and bring him back to Villa Park where he began his career.
Villa resume life in the Premier League with a trip to Tottenham on August 10.

Starting an occupational therapy practice requires specific licenses and documents, like insurance credentialing and a malpractice policy. Credentialing companies can provide a comprehensive checklist to help you prepare to open a new practice. Here are a few tips to help you start your own occupational therapy office:
Conduct a Comprehensive Market Analysis
Before starting your occupational therapy practice, conduct a thorough market analysis to understand the demand and competition in each of your location options. Research the area’s demographics and assess the need for occupational therapy services. Identify potential referral sources, such as local healthcare providers, residential areas, and schools, to establish professional relationships.
Investigate the existing practices in the area to identify any gaps in services or areas of opportunity. Look for a convenient location that is easily accessible to your target clients. Understanding the market dynamics will help you tailor your services to meet the community’s needs and develop a successful business strategy.
Obtain Necessary Licenses and Certifications
In order to launch your business, you need to meet all the state and federal requirements for practicing as an occupational therapist and operating a healthcare facility. This may include obtaining a state occupational therapy license, National Provider Identifier (NPI) number, and other relevant business information like a tax ID.
Affiliate with recognized occupational therapy associations or organizations, such as the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), to demonstrate your commitment to professional standards and ethics.
Physical practice specialists can help verify you have the necessary licenses and certifications to start a practice. Credentialing companies like Physician Practice Specialists can also help you with your credentialing, confirming all necessary documentation is gathered and submitted accurately and efficiently.
Secure Adequate Financing
Starting a practice may require a significant initial investment in office space, equipment, and staffing. Create a detailed budget and determine how much capital you need to get your practice up and running. Explore various financing options, such as personal savings, bank loans, or small business grants, to secure adequate funding for your practice.
Consider the ongoing expenses, such as rent, utilities, insurance, and salaries, when planning your finances. A solid financial foundation will help you navigate the early stages of your practice and allow for sustainable growth.
Invest in Quality Equipment and Technology
Invest in high-quality equipment for your occupational therapy practice, whether it’s adaptive devices, therapeutic tools, or assessment materials. Verify that these devices are the most current and successful iterations available for professional use.
Incorporate administrative technology into your practice to streamline scheduling and record-keeping. Electronic health record (EHR) systems can enhance efficiency and accuracy in managing client information and treatment plans.
Develop a Strong Online Presence
Create a professional website that showcases your services, team, and contact information. Incorporate client testimonials and success stories to build trust and credibility. Networking and engaging with the local community online can help you reach a broader audience and attract new clients to your practice. With online marketing tactics like informational blogs and social media outreach, your practice can increase visibility and organic traffic.
Prioritize Patient-Centered Care
Your occupational therapy practice’s success relies heavily on your client’s satisfaction. Focus on delivering patient-centered care tailored to meet each client’s individual needs and goals. Establish strong communication with your clients and their families, verifying that they feel heard and involved in therapy. Building strong therapeutic relationships and delivering quality care will promote positive word-of-mouth referrals and encourage client loyalty.
Hire a Competent Team
As your practice grows, you may need to hire additional occupational therapists, assistants, and administrative staff. Recruit competent and compassionate professionals who share your commitment to providing exceptional care and are easily credentialed.
Provide your team with ongoing training and professional development opportunities to update them with the latest evidence-based practices and therapeutic techniques. A cohesive and skilled team can increase your practice’s likelihood of success.
Credentialing is one of the most important administrative tasks you will need to complete in order to accept patients. The credentialing process can be a difficult and time-consuming task. Using a credentialing company like Physician Practice Specialists can help streamline this process.
Keeping Records and Applying Feedback
Maintain records and important documents for taxes, certifications, and re-credentialing. If changes in credentialing and certification licenses are required, make sure to submit the necessary information as soon as possible.
Regularly assess your practice’s performance and seek client feedback to identify improvement areas. Adapting based on this feedback helps your practice remain relevant and provides the best possible care to your clients.
Credentialing Companies and New Practices
Starting an occupational therapy practice requires careful planning and a variety of official documentation, like a business license and articles of incorporation. Healthcare practitioners can avoid credentialing errors with the help of credentialing companies like Physician Practice Specialists, removing delays from the credentialing process. Check out our website today to see a comprehensive list of credentialing services and other services we provide.

Here was a homestead of Lithuanian writers Albinas Andriulionis and Jadvyga Vailionienė-Andrulionytė.
Poet, writer, translator, librarian, teacher. Born in the village of Demeniškės, surrounded by forests in Dzūkija (now Lazdijai district). In Kaunas he completed a course for librarians and began to manage the newly established Lazdijai State Public Library (1937-1940).
This man was brought out of oblivion by the writer and publicist Romas Sadauskas, who spent many summers in Andrulionis' home village of Demeniškės.
The writer's hut no longer exists. Neither the tiny windows nor the creaking door, once sung by Albinas in his folk song poem "Mano tėviškėlė", are gone.
In order to commemorate the memory of Albinas Andrulionis, a native of Lazdijai, a children's writer, teacher, translator, and the first librarian of the Lazdijai Public State Library, a prize has been established in 2018, which is awarded annually to those authors who, with their creative texts (prose, poetry, journalism, essays, etc.), promoted the region of Lazdijai and its people or to the librarians of the municipality of the Lazdijai District for their significant contribution in the area of library science for their works carried out during the previous calendar year. A commemorative plaque will be erected in 2022 at the homestead of Albinas Andrulionis.
Literature, press worker. She was born in the village of Demeniškės, Lazdijai district, where she grew up, graduated from primary school and lived until 1963, later moving to Avižienys. She inherited her love for the pen from her uncle, the writer Albinas Andrulionis. Since 1991 she has been a member of the Lithuanian Rural Writers' Union.
Jadvyga Vailionienė lived a beautiful and meaningful life, reached her 91st birthday, and left more than ten books of her work, which will serve as encyclopedias for future generations - of the customs of her land, the sonorous and singing Dzūkija dialect, and the relationships between people of Dzūkija.
"A day spent without a smile is a day lost... Read, smile, and the world will smile back at you" - wrote Jadvyga Andrulionytė - Vailionienė.


If you hear those annoying clunking noises when going over bumps, it means that something is wrong with the suspension system. … These are the areas to check the next time you hear these sounds on the road. Worn or Damaged Struts. When struts are damaged, the strut shocks fail to perform as they should.Mar 12, 2021
If a ball joint is beginning to fail, you may notice a clunking noise coming from the front wheels. … This helps translate the turning of the steering wheel to the direction of the tires. When a tie rod end is worn or loose, they may produce a clunking noise.
Drive over speed bumps
Clunking noises are caused by the worn ball joints rattling as the suspension travels up and down over the road. The squeaking noise is caused by the rubber boot that protects the grease inside the ball joint is damaged, the ball joint will start to squeak.
Sway bar links connect the two sides of the suspension together with the sway bar. … If the sway bar link breaks and loosens, it can make a rattling or clunking sound as it taps other parts of the suspension.

It takes around 60 minutes to complete, and you should book an appointment every 2 to 3 years.
Typically, a wheel alignment will cost you around $100 and $250.
Rough, bumpy rides can be due to bad tire alignment, incorrect air pressure – too low, too high, different pressures in each tire – or even the tires not being mounted properly. Worst case scenario could be the rims themselves have become damaged or warped.
Often, a bad CV axle will make a clicking noise when steering the car left or right. A bad bearing makes an intermittent roaring noise, until it fails catastrophically. CV joints clunk or make louder noises on tight turns. Wheel bearings get louder with speed.

Information Needs of Cancer Patients: A Comparison of Nurses’ and Patients’ Perceptions
- 671 Downloads
This study aimed to identify nurses' and patients' perceptions and compare them in terms of the information needs of cancer patients. Another aim is to identify the association between the demographic and situational characteristics of patients'/nurses' and information needs. A total of 305 patients and 130 nurses participated in this descriptive and comparative study. Data was collected with a study-specific questionnaire developed for this study. Descriptive statistics, Pearson Chi-square and RIDIT analyses were used to analyze the data. Results indicated that there was incongruence between patients' and nurses' perceptions regarding information provision (p < 0.05), both congruence regarding how much information was needed (eight out of 16 information items), but also significant incongruence on the remaining items(p < 0.05). The other finding was that patients residing out of Ankara city needed to obtain more information rather than the others. No relationship was found between demographic and situational characteristics and nurses' perceptions regarding information need of patients.

Well this was a quick one. Only 7 months after I first drew it, it finally told me what it is about. So now I can go on with the inks.
Thursday, August 30, 2012
I needed some stars for a background of a drawing. You would think that spraying some ink on the paper would be done in a couple of minutes, but oh no, it's not just random spots, they have to be the right kind or random spots....
Ah yes, just the constellation I was looking for
Friday, August 24, 2012
No pictures todays. I had trouble falling asleep last night and came up with an idea of a picture I wanted to draw. But instead of sketching it with lines and shapes, I sketched the idea with words:
the weight, you know the weight?
the weight that pulls us under into the deep fathomless ocean of our decrepit thoughts of worry
thoughts of love
thoughts of hatred
and everything in between in the endless deserts of not giving a fuck
dry and arid as my mouth as I tried to speak, to explain - not to you - but to myself the consequences of sinking too deep in search of peace, silence and all-consuming and devouring self-denial and the harsh promises it makes, whispering in your ear in the middle of the night
when everyone else is asleep but not yet dreaming
when you can taste the emptiness
the pressure that makes breathing feel like swallowing needles
when you can almost touch the detachment and you can hear the slow crumbling and withering sound of the city around you that is just an enormous casket for all the bodies littered in tiny apartments behind locked doors that are supposed to keep them safe from the beasts from gnawing their flesh while they sleep, the sound of cracking bones in the teeth of the carrion eaters as their lullaby, as they fall deeper into the slumber, carried by the comfort of pretended safety
and every morning they wake up from the cold metallic grip of their useless locks and shackles, with pieces of their bodies and minds missing and out of fear they don't speak about it, they say nothing to each other, pretending not to see the bleeding gaps and wounds, hoping that everyone else will do the same; to let the silence fill the holes and paint over their losses
and they never cry out of them, they never mourn out loud what they have lost, their tongues rotten out by shame and they never reshape themselves back together
everything that is missing is never to be recovered, slowly digesting in the bellies of the beasts, who rise every night to feast on their diminishing bodies until one night there is nothing to feast upon, the slowly waking minds having no bodies in which to return and there will be only the dream and the empty world that has no weight or inhabitants
an empty shell in a shore of a dried-up sea
I've sunken too long and far too deep in this lie, in our shared misinterpretation of us becoming one with it and not to be able to tell the difference anymore
to separate the consequences from the cause
the weight, the weight is real
our inseparable attachment to it is not
without the weight this darkness spits me out
without the weight I'll rise
will you be there when I resurface?

Next-generation parking system
Our platforms are built for next-generation parking systems. The platforms are built without high side rails, which contributes to increased safety and better functionality.
Increases space utilization
We have solved this by moving the bearing in the platform from the side rails to the platform deck itself. Flat platforms increase the utilization of space by being able to use the entire width of the platform, and are not limited to the internal measurements between traditional side rails.
Better user experience
Users of the system will find that they have better space to navigate the system, both with and without a car. There is better space for driving in and out by car, but also easier to move when going to and from the car. The user will be able to easily see where the car should be parked using mechanical driving guides at the end of the platform.


SILVER CITY, MICH. — Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Michigan's Upper Peninsula is getting $550,000 in emergency shoreline repairs along a main entry road.
MLive.com reports the state says high water levels along Lake Superior and recent storm damage have caused erosion that's threatening County Road 107.
Work is scheduled to begin Monday.
Eric Cadeau, a regional field planner with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, says the work aims to prevent visitors from needing to take an 80-mile detour to get to another park entry point. The state is teaming with the Ontonagon County Road Commission on the project.
High water levels on the Great Lakes, including Lake Superior, have been blamed for flooding and contributed to hazardous conditions along shorelines this year in the region.
Fox 47 Meteorologist Brett Collar said Lake Superior's water levels have raised over 8 inches above where averaging at this time last year.
Lake Huron and Lake Michigan are over 17 inches above average, Lake Erie 15 inches above average, and Lake Ontario comes in at over 31 inches above average, Collar said.

I boarded an overnight bus in Istanbul and 10 hours later I thought we had landed on Mars. Sleepily peering out the window with blurred vision, all I could see were large tee-pee shaped rocks that were converted into buildings. We weren’t on Mars. We were in Göreme, a town in the region of Cappadocia.
Ancient volcanoes caused the rocks in the Cappadocia region that eroded to be minaret-shaped (called fairy chimneys) and eventually were carved into homes and churches, forming villages. Exploring the old caves in the Göreme Open Air Museum, and Selime Monastery was so intriguing. As much as it was a cultural experience, I also enjoyed jumping and climbing all over the rocks as if I was a kid on a jungle gym. Some things never change!
The fairy chimneys and caves were just child’s play though. The highlight of Cappadocia was the iconic sunrise hot air balloon ride that can’t be missed for visitors in the area.
The stars had aligned for me for the first time in Turkey. After spending my first two days in Istanbul stressed and dealing with my lost luggage, my two friends and I made it to Göreme with our sights set on a fresh start. Although there was a torrential downpour the night before that might have foiled our plans, when I woke up at 4am, the rain had subsided and conditions appeared to be just right for hot air balloon flight. Finally, things were looking up.
I was a little bit apprehensive about the hot air balloon ride at first. Maybe because I’m a little older and wiser now than when I went hang gliding on a whim in Rio, but also probably because I briefly read about a few hot air balloon accidents that occurred in other countries. Still, it wasn’t going to stop me! After enjoying a nice breakfast that was included in the deal (last meal?), I was ready to rumble!
As soon as we began lifting off the ground, I could have stayed in that hot air balloon forever. There was nothing but plains and large volcanic rocks as far as the eye could see. And colorful hot air balloons speckling the purplish-blue sky. I never imagined that a place like this would exist, or that I would ever see it if it did.
The 16-person hot air balloon in Cappadocia ascended to 800 meters and traveled some 25 kilometers from the point where we started. We drifted up and down, at times it looked as if we were about to hit the rocks just when our skilled pilot would lift us up higher.
The hour we were in the air was magic. With the cool, crisp air softly biting at my cheeks, the slight fears I had before take-off had drifted away. I only felt grateful to be drifting above the world, if only for a fleeting moment.
Have you ever been on a hot air balloon ride before? How was your experience?

We’re not increasing spending. We’re prioritizing it.
#REPAIR America’s Rivers, Seaports, Lakes, Levees, Locks & Dams
Bottom line up front
The Responsible Environmental Preservation and American Infrastructure Restoration Act, or the REPAIR Act, would make a limited change to the House rules’ definition of a “congressional earmark” to allow Congress to direct funding to vetted water resources development projects of the Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation. The REPAIR Act does not authorize or appropriate any new funds for these projects, which comprise just half of one percent of our overall annual discretionary spending, and stays exclusively within the budget caps set by Congress.
The status quo isn’t working
Recently, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) gave America’s infrastructure a collective grade of a D+ and our nation’s dams, inland waterways, and levees all topped out with Ds. Our economy slows as ships wait for days to offload their cargo in ports that have been not been properly dredged and Americans living in areas with high flood risks have to live in continuous fear that the dams and levees protecting their homes may breech. Currently, requests for “earmarks” are banned by GOP Conference rules, which the House rules define to be any request for funding that’s targeted to a specific state, locality or congressional district. Because 85% of Army Corps projects and 75% percent of Bureau of Reclamation projects are geographically-specific, it is impossible for a Member of Congress to request funding for these critical water infrastructure projects without violating the House rules.
No cost solution to #REPAIR America’s water infrastructure
After several years of a divided government, almost every Member of Congress has experienced the direct correlation between the earmark ban and our inability to exert influence over executive agencies – especially as it pertains to these essential public works projects. The REPAIR Act is a zero-cost solution to this problem that will simply allow Congress to respond to the water resource infrastructure needs of their communities, rather than waiting for the unelected, faceless bureaucrats in the executive branch move on these projects. From efforts to dredge our inland waterways to shoring up our nation’s crumbling levees and dams – the REPAIR Act takes back the authority to fund these scrutinized projects from the executive branch and puts it back into the hands of accountable elected officials who know how important these projects are to our communities.

As the cases of hair loss are increasing, the demand for hair transplant surgery too, is on the up rise. Surgical hair transplantation is a technique where healthy follicles and hair are transplanted from the donor sites to areas of the head where the hair growth is depleted. This procedure offers a permanent solution to hair loss. Every technique has few side effects though; the side effects of hair restoration techniques vary from person to person. Most of the side effects experienced because of hair transplant surgery are temporary and disappear within a few days. It is essential that before you undergo the procedure, you must be aware of the possible side effects, so that you are well prepared for them.
Below are mentioned 10 commonly experienced side effects of Hair Transplant Surgery:-
Haemorrhage and infections
Haemorrhage (bleeding) is an immediate side effect which is observed during or just after the procedure. It is noticed in the grafting method of hair transplant. This side effect can be avoided if the operating surgeon is experienced and has successfully performed these techniques earlier.
Employment of unhygienic instruments gives rise to infections. Possibility of infections is when the surgery is performed in an unclean surrounding. There are chances of infection of hair follicles occurring. Infection may occur due to break in the skin integrity. Generally surgeons prescribe antibiotics before and after the surgery to avoid infections.
Itching, as a side effect chiefly occurs due to scab formation at the site of transplant. There are chances that many more scabs form after the grafting method. You should avoid scratching post hair transplant, as it may lead to damaging your scalp and also your newly transplanted hair. Itching lasts only for a few days and can be controlled by shampooing and application of specialized moisturizing oil.
Temporary thinning of hair
Temporary thinning of hair or sudden loss of transplanted hair is termed as “shedding” or “shock loss”. It is caused by inappropriate form of grafting performed by inexperienced surgeons. At times, all hairs are not transplanted successfully hence, they fall off. Few people experience partial baldness; few experience thinning of hair while few experience shedding which is normal hair loss of 50 to 100 hairs each day. Shedding is a normal phenomenon after hair transplant. The transplanted hair falls out in two to three weeks post surgery and new hair growth takes place within three to four months. Hair transplant only redistributes the hair on the head and fails to alter the total number of hairs on your head.
Scarring is common in persons who have opted for strip transplantations. Small, circular, scattered scars are observed at the donor site (sites from where the hair is taken and implanted in areas deficient in hair growth). Scarring is caused due to break in the skin integrity. Few people have genetic inclination towards scarring. Crust formation is observed in the donor sites and areas of the scalp where the hair was transplanted. Keloid scars can be unsightly particularly if your hairs are short. It is observed that people generally have scars from previous transplant techniques.
Swelling is noticed post surgery and is generally observed in the forehead region and around the eyes. Though, the site of swelling may differ from person to person. Swelling is temporary and usually diminishes in a few days.
Pain is experienced in the transplant site. It is temporary and diminishes gradually. At times, the surgeons prescribe painkillers.
Small size harmless cysts develop in the areas where the new hair is implanted. Cysts usually disappear within a few weeks, but if they fail to disappear then you shall have to consult a physician. Cysts develop when there is damage caused to the hair follicle or when the hair follicles are pushed deeper into the skin layer.
Bleeding is a rare side effect of hair transplant. Few patients may experience it due to extreme pressure on scalp. Exerting pressure on the area, generally arrests the bleeding. In case, the bleeding fails to stop, the surgeon may require putting some extra stitches to close the wound.
Hiccoughs are one of the rare side effects seen in hair transplant patients. The intensity of hiccoughs differs from patient to patient. The reason for hiccoughs in hair transplant patient is unclear. Usually hiccoughs vanish within one or two days. This side effect can be troublesome, if it lasts longer as it can disturb your sleep. You need to consult a physician in case extend of hiccoughs it too extreme.
Numbness is experienced around the donor site or around the site where the hair is transplanted. Lack of sensation exists for many weeks after the transplant. Numbness is temporary but in case it fails to decrease then, you shall require consulting a physician.
These are few of the commonly experienced side effects, post hair transplantation. At times, these side effects are observed immediately after the surgery while some times it is observed few days after the surgery.

Brussels to host CORE Festival in May
The creators of Tomorrowland, the worldwide famous electronic dance music festival held in Belgium since 2005, have officially announced a new music festival which will take place in the capital city of Brussels. The festival will be organized in collaboration with Rock Werchter, another famous Belgian music festival.
CORE Festival, a brand-new two-day boutique festival in the beautiful Osseghem Park in Brussels, will take place on May 27-28, 2022.
Mayor of Brussels Philippe Close stated: “We are very proud that Tomorrowland and Rock Werchter, two of the most important players in the world of music, are coming to Brussels with this new concept, a total experience of music, art and nature. Brussels celebrates and thus enables the event, cultural and hotel industry to breathe again.”

With the WNBA season approaching, fans, WNBA staff and players alike have been pondering the future and safe return of seven-time WNBA All-Star and gold medalist Brittney Griner.
The Russian Federal Customs Service has been holding Griner since February 2022 after claiming they found vape cartridges with hash oil – a marijuana concentrate – in her luggage. The current charges against Griner have a hefty penalty – up to 10 years in prison.
Griner, known as “BG” to her friends and teammates, was detained during a time of political tension surrounding events between Russia and Ukraine – a reason many WNBA were leaving the country.
Nobody misses her energy as much as her close friends, teammates and head coach Vanessa Nygaard from the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury.
Sophie Cunningham, a guard for the Mercury, says it’s more than just basketball. “We just want her to be well as a human being,” she said.
Griner’s detainment also sparks a conversation about WNBA player salaries – many players go to countries like Russia during the offseason to play and earn nearly four times as much as they would have if they remained in the United States.
Griner’s detainment has recently been extended until May 19th but was visited by a U.S. Embassy Official in March who said Griner was in good condition, considering the circumstances.
Greer, Jordan. 2022, MARCH. “Brittney Griner detainment, explained: Why Russia is holding Phoenix Mercury star in custody and how WNBA has reacted.”
McCarriston, Shanna. 2022, MARCH. “Brittney Griner detained in Russia: Brianna Stewart, Angel McCoughtry break silence on situation.”
Gaydos, Ryan. 2022, APRIL. “Brittney Griner’s detention weighs heavily on teammates as season approaches: ‘We miss her like crazy.’”

A West Midlands police officer in England has been arrested with two other people for allegedly concocting a fake terror plot to kidnap a cop.
Police say 28-year-old Amar Hussain, who works with Birmingham’s West and Central policing unit, is being questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, suspicion of misconduct in a public office and misuse of police systems.
West Midlands police were put on high alert last December after receiving a tip regarding a threat to abduct and kill a police officer prompting the department to issue warnings to 10,000 officers and staff at a time of heightened fear of a terrorist attack in the country.
Officers were told to take extra precautions such as not wearing their uniforms while going to and from work and security at police stations was tightened.
The information – though anonymous – was considered credible when it was received prompting counter terrorism officers to arrest a 31-year-old man, but he was eliminated as a suspect and deported after an eight month investigation revealed the tip was a fraud.
Police say Hussain and the two other unidentified men – ages 25 and 31 – are now being questioned by detectives from West Midland Police’s Anti-Corruption Unit and terror specialists.
“The arrests follow an investigation into false and malicious information given to West Midlands Police on the 8th December 2014 which stated that an officer was going to be kidnapped as part of a terrorist plot,” a West Midlands police spokesperson said.
“At a time when the national threat level was severe, the threat was considered credible and police acted swiftly to protect officers and police staff,” the spokesperson added. “A subsequent investigation revealed that the call was false and malicious.”
A motive is not yet clear in the case but speculators might suggest that during times of increased threat levels, governments and their enforcers assume for themselves powers that are seldom granted during times absent of such threats.
Could this have been an attempt to garner such powers by local police forces? Or, was Hussain attempting to cultivate fear on behest of some terrorist cause?
Even if a motive is eventually ascertained, it is unlikely to be revealed to the public as the investigation has been classified as “top-secret.”

Drivers will spend more to use area toll roads beginning Friday.
Rates will creep up about 6 percent to 15.3 cents a mile, an amount that will mean nearly $40 more a year for toll-paying commuters who drive 10 miles each way to work and back.
The increase is unusual because it will take effect without any action by the North Texas Tollway Authority board, which voted 8-1 in 2009 to schedule automatic increases that will take place every two years forever, or until the board votes to end them.
Unlike Dallas Area Rapid Transit, which is required by federal law to hold hearings and to vote at least twice on a fare increase, NTTA can set rates as it chooses.
In an interview last week, board member Bob Day, the lone dissenter in 2009, said he remains opposed to the increase — both on principle and because he thinks now is a bad time to ask drivers to pay more.
“I didn’t think we needed that large of an increase, and secondly the timing is wrong,” said Day, former mayor of Garland. “And third, I am basically against automatic increases.”
Despite Day’s opposition, there has been no discussion by his colleagues since to revisit the issue.
Tuesday, NTTA chief financial officer Janice Davis defended the increase as not just good for NTTA, but good for drivers’ pocketbooks, too.
“Looking at this strictly from the viewpoint of the drivers, this is really a ‘pay me now or pay me later’ situation,” Davis said.
NTTA owes about $8 billion to bondholders, almost of all which it has taken on since 2008, when it borrowed $5 billion to cover construction costs for the Sam Rayburn Tollway and the $3.2 billion it paid local governments in return for winning the right to collect tolls on that road.
Despite owing so much, NTTA has maintained strong credit ratings, partly because it has pledged to ensure its revenue remains at least 1.5 times as high as the payments it makes each year on its senior debt.
Davis said by deciding to schedule automatic increases, rather than ask the board or the public each time, the authority gains an additional advantage. It can guarantee creditors that the revenue will keep going up — even if traffic is flat — unless the board takes the unlikely step of acting to end the increases.
In turn, creditors reward NTTA with lower interest rates, Davis said.
She said that even without the scheduled increases, NTTA would still have to vote to raise its rates every few years, and probably by much larger amounts each time to enable it to finance the roads that local officials want it to build.
“This allows us to take these rate increases in little pieces and avoid the massive 30 to 40 percent increases that we would have to impose otherwise whenever we decided to take on a new road,” Davis said.
Day said he understands the business case for the automatic increases but said the benefits do not justify dealing the public out of the board’s rate-setting decisions.
“As a former mayor, I believe we’ve got to decide publicly every time we want to charge our customers more,” he said, noting that with a vote comes the opportunity for public input.
But Chairman Victor Vandergriff, in a statement explaining the increase earlier this month, said it’s a necessary step by NTTA “to maintain a viable financial system and to deliver the many mobility projects that bring growth to the North Texas region.”
What market will bear
Elected officials on the Regional Transportation Council in Arlington have urged NTTA for years to adopt a more aggressive rate policy.
The council wants NTTA to charge drivers like a private company would by setting rates closer to the maximum drivers would pay before they stopped using the toll roads.
That “market-rate” approach will soon be tested in its purest form on the managed lanes being built with regional council approval by private firms throughout North Texas, the first of which will open about 2015.
Those roads — including LBJ Freeway when improvements are complete in 2016 — will offer special lanes that will cost drivers several times what NTTA charges.
In return, those lanes will have a guaranteed minimum speed of 50 mph no matter how crowded the corridor becomes.
The increases will mean big money over time for NTTA, which already collects more money in tolls than DART does in sales taxes and fares combined from its 13 member cities.
This year, NTTA expects to collect $396 million in tolls. By 2024, toll receipts are expected to be $1 billion a year — 10 times the amount of sales taxes collected by DART this year across its member cities.
A surer route
Because NTTA’s annual debt payments are also expected to balloon in coming years — they will total $371.5 million by 2015 — the authority must keep collecting more revenue.
Without the toll rate hikes, which Davis said should pull in an extra $18 million to $20 million next year, NTTA would have to rely on increased traffic on its highways to keep its finances in line.
That would be an uncertain bet, because even though business has been good at NTTA, the combined effects of lingering unemployment, high gas prices and higher rates mean that traffic is likely to be lower in coming years than NTTA advisers had expected.

A lot of people know what a BMI chart or table is. Doctors use this to assess a person’s health. In order to use the body mass index chart, the doctor would measure your height and weight. Then, the doctor would use the BMI graph to check whether your weight is right for your height. When you calculate a person’s BMI or body mass index, you need these two measurements.
They will help you come up with an estimation of how much body fat you have. Doctors can also use this chart to determine whether you have the right height and weight. If you want to find see the appropriate weight for your height, you can download a BMI chart from here.
You can also use a BMI calculator to get this information. However, to get accurate results, consult with your doctor. When you do this, you’ll know the appropriate numbers. Then you can also have a conversation about your results.
If there are any abnormalities in your numbers, you can discuss them with your doctor. It’s especially important to know the BMI of your children. Knowing this will help you see if your child is growing at the right rate in terms of height and weight.
You can compare your child’s numbers against the average for his/her age and gender.
If you’re using a BMI calculator, you can also input different sets of height and weight values. Do this so you can see the BMI trend over a period of time.
The trend will give you an idea if you or your child is properly gaining or losing weight. This article is all about BMI and BMI charts.
What is BMI?
BMI stands for body mass index. It’s a measure of a person’s body fat based on his weight and in relation to his height. This definition applies to women and men aged 20 and up.
For children and teenagers, the BMI percentile is the best way a doctor can assess body fat. However, BMI doesn’t directly measure a person’s body fat. Research shows that BMI actually correlates to the direct measurement of body fat.
The results from these researches came from dual-energy X-ray absorption and weighing people underwater. Rather than just measuring a person’s body fat, BMI is typically used as a tool for screening.
You can use it to determine whether a person is overweight or obese, underweight or has a healthy weight. This is especially true in relation to the person’s height. If your BMI isn’t within the healthy range, you may be at risk for different diseases and illnesses.
The BMI measurements depend on a person’s age and gender. But BMI doesn’t necessarily correspond to the same fatness degree for everyone. This may differ across varied populations and because of varying body proportions.
You can interpret BMI using a standard body mass index chart. When you have high results from your BMI interpretation, it may be a cause for concern. High values would usually come with some health risks.
But the interpretation of grading BMI in relation to health risks may vary. This is especially true from one population to another. You can check BMI in 2 different ways:
- By using a BMI calculator
- By using a BMI table or chart
It’s quite simple to use a BMI graph or chart. First, locate your height in the column on the left-hand side. Place your left finger on your height. Then, locate your weight on the top bar.
Place your right finger on your weight. Move your left finger horizontally and your right finger vertically. Do these until both fingers meet. The number where your fingers meet is your BMI.
Of course, the number you get would only be an estimate of your BMI. It’s not accurate enough to use as a tool for diagnosis. But you can use it as a tool for screening if you want to check if you have any problems with your weight.
If you have a high BMI, you still need to determine if your excess weight poses a health risk. You need to consult with a doctor for further assessments. Here are some factors your doctor may consider:
- Family history
- Physical activity
- Thickness measurements of your skin folds
Your doctor may also perform other health screenings. You need these to determine if there are any problems. But if you still want to have an estimate of your BMI, then you can download a printable BMI chart from here.
Interesting facts about BMI
BMI is a very interesting thing. You can find your own BMI using a BMI chart, table or graph. It’s a good screening tool to use. But if you want more accurate results and interpretations, consult with your doctor.
In the meantime, here are some interesting facts about BMI:
- The body mass index measures your relative size based on your mass and height.
- It was first known as the “Quetelet Index.” A Belgian mathematician named Adolphe Quetelet devised it in 1832. In the year 1972, Ancel Keys changed the term to body mass index or BMI.
- Since there are many printable BMI charts available, you can print one out and measure your own body fat.
- BMI doesn’t take into account factors such as muscle mass, ethnicity, age, and gender.
- For adults, you can interpret BMI using weight status categories. These are standard for all ages for men and women.
- When interpreting BMI for children and teenagers, it’s a bit different. You need to take into consideration their age and gender.
- Although you only get an estimate by using a BMI table, it serves as a reasonable body fat indicator.
- You can use BMI as a screening tool to discover any potential weight problems. But it’s not ideal to use as a diagnostic tool.
- There are other ways to measure your body fat. One such way is to measure the thickness of skin folds. You can also use underwater weighing, dual-energy X-ray absorption, and bioelectrical impedance.
All these may even be more accurate than BMI.
As you can see, there’s lot’s to learn about BMI. Now you can start using charts or graphs to get your BMI. You can even use the tools to find out the BMI of your children so you know when you need to go to the doctor.
Calculating BMI using a BMI chart and other means
BMI is a value based on your height and weight. You can use a BMI or body mass index to help you determine if your weight corresponds healthily to your height. Generally, a higher number indicates that a person has more body fats.
BMI is typically used as a tool for screening. You can use it to determine if you’re at risk for health problems because of your weight. These problems may include diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and others.
You can use BMI to define a variety of weight categories in adults. These groups apply to women and men:
- You’re underweight if you have a BMI that’s lower than 18.5
- You have a normal weight if you have a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9
- You’re overweight if you have a BMI between 25 and 29.9
- You’re obese if you have a BMI that’s higher than 30
You can measure your BMI in different ways. You can use body mass index charts or tables. Using these is the easiest way to find out your BMI. You can also use BMI calculators which you can find online. You can even calculate your own BMI.
The formula for determining BMI makes use of metric system measurements. Get your weight in kilograms and your height in meters squared. Divide the former by the latter to get your BMI. You can also use pounds and inches but you need to alter the formula a bit. Calculate your own BMI to check if you have a healthy weight.
BMI of adults, children, and teenagers
Adolphe Quetelet, the designer of BMI, also developed the formula for it. He came up with the formula about 150 years ago. The basic formula is:
- Weight (in kg) / Height (in m2)
If you want to use pounds and inches, use this formula:
- (Weight in lbs. * 703 / Height in inches2
You can calculate the BMI of adults using these formulas. With adults aged 20 and over, the gender doesn’t matter. You can use the same formula for men and women.
You can also calculate the BMI of children and teens using these formulas.
However, the numbers you get won’t have the same interpretation. This is because, with children and teenagers, the standard amount of body fat may change as they age. Also, there’s a difference between genders.
For children, you can determine if they have a normal weight by basing the value on their age and gender.
So there are actually gender and age-specific BMI graphs you can use. These graphs and charts can help you translate the value into a percentile. You can then use the percentiles to determine if your child falls into these categories:
- Your child is underweight the BMI is lower than the 5th percentile.
- Your child has a normal weight if the BMI falls between the 5th and 85th percentile.
- Your child is overweight if the BMI falls between the 85th and 95th percentile.
- Your child is obese if the BMI is higher than the 95th percentile.
Even for children and teenagers, there are health risks. Falling under any category other than the normal can pose health risks. If you don’t do anything about it, the risks may follow your child even as he/she transitions into adulthood.
This is why it’s important to know your BMI, so you’re sure that you’re not at any kind of health risk.
Tips for maintaining a healthy BMI
If you want to find out your ideal body weight, don’t just use height and weight charts. You can also use a printable BMI chart to help in determining your best weight.
Printable BMI Chart
If you discover that you have a high body mass index, you may have to take some steps to rectify that. You always need to be at your ideal weight in order to avoid any potential health risks. Here are some tips for you:
- First off, find out your current BMI. This is the relationship between your height and weight as related to your body fat. Calculate your body mass index by using the formula we indicated in the previous section.
- If you discover that you’re overweight, then you may have to lose a few pounds. It’s recommended that you follow a weight-loss plan in order to reach your ideal weight. This is especially important if, aside from a high BMI, you also have other risk factors. These include smoking, having an inactive lifestyle, and more. Risk factors may also include preexisting health conditions. These are high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, and others. Fat tissues produce pro-inflammatory chemicals and hormones. These may have detrimental effects on your body. So you may have less of these tissues if you don’t have much body fat. This can be very beneficial to you, health-wise.
- If you fit into the category of obesity, you need to go through a weight-loss treatment. In fact, your doctor may actually recommend this for you.
- Your initial goal for weight loss should be to lower your body weight by about 10% from of your current weight. This would take a few months depending on how much you need to lose. If you pair healthy eating habits with regular exercise, you can lose weight faster.
- Once you’ve reached your goal of weight loss, don’t stop there. You may consider initiating a weight-maintenance program. This usually involves physical, behavioral, and dietary therapy. This program should come right after your weight loss program.
- For those who are extremely obese, surgery for obesity may be an option. This would apply to people who have a BMI higher than 40. Or those with a BMI higher than 35 but with significant risk factors.

Chef Javier Bardauil, known for his innovative cuisine at the popular BARDA restaurant in Detroit, has exciting news for food lovers—he’s opening a new restaurant and bar, PUMA, in Core City. Set to open in November, Bardauil will draw inspiration from his Argentinian roots and incorporate a range of unique culinary techniques and flavors to create a homegrown dining experience for guests.
The restaurant’s decor and ambiance are also built around Argentinian culture, with nods to the country’s vibrant music, art, and architecture. The menu will feature a range of dishes, including some of the chef’s signature creations, as well as new and exciting offerings that showcase the flavors and ingredients of Argentina.
“I’m bringing South American culture to Detroit; I think showcasing the diversity of cuisine across the continent is important. I’m excited to share some delicious dishes with my friends, like the Bolivian empanada Boliviana, Peruvian ceviches, and some Mexican specialties. Each dish has a unique flavor and history that I hope to convey through my cooking.”
PUMA aims to offer a unique dining experience that reflects the chef’s passion for culinary excellence and desire to share his cultural heritage with the people of Michigan. With its innovative menu, inviting ambiance, and warm hospitality, PUMA is poised to become a must-visit destination for foodies and culture enthusiasts.
The restaurant and bar interior is designed to reflect the smooth and sleek nature of the big cat, with an all-black color scheme that creates a modern and sophisticated ambiance. Chef Javier Bardauil transitioned from BARDA’s upscale, high-end vibe, to contrast with PUMA’s more relaxed and youthful atmosphere, even jokingly calling the late-night bar option Cougar.
At PUMA, customers can gather around the fire with cocktails and chóripan – a traditional Argentinian sausage sandwich – just as Bardauil did in his youth. Bardauil’s has a more approachable menu that features a variety of dishes that are easy to eat and handle with one’s hands. Late-night service will also accommodate those who want to enjoy a meal after a night out.
“Most of the late-night food options in Detroit are coney islands after hours; nothing is wrong with that. For something different, you can come to PUMA to fill your belly with tasty food like Choripán, crunchy bread, grilled meat, and bold flavors, which is a perfect way to end a night out.”
Bardauil is no stranger to the culinary world. He started his journey as a chef at 23, honing his skills at the Argentine Gastronomy Institute and Lenôtre School in Paris. He has worked at prestigious establishments such as Francis Mallmann’s Patagonia Sur Restaurant in Buenos Aires, including Michigan’s various projects and openings for renowned Argentinian Chef Pablo Massey. Bardauil’s culinary excellence was recognized at the 2022 James Beard Foundation Awards, where he was a finalist for the “Best New Restaurant in America” award for his work at BARDA.

Ya gotta smile
There are plenty of reasons to feel lousy.
Tonight's message: get over it.
We got back from our night out, wondering if we had done anyone any good. At the Operation Nightwatch Shelter Dispatch Center there was still a room full of homeless guys, and the prospects for getting into shelter were looking pretty dim.
There are reasons to start ranting about the economy, injustice, addiction, lack of mental health services, whatever.
But some random homeless guy just stopped outside our door for a moment. "Are you guys Catholic?" he asked us, out on the sidewalk.
"I'm Episcopalian, he's Methodist," Fr. Kim pointed. "No one group runs Nightwatch," I chip in.
Then, out of the blue, the homeless guy smiles a million dollar smile and says, "Well, thank you for what you guys do. God bless." And off he trudged to shelter, at 11:30 pm on a night in April.
Suddenly I felt less whiney.
