Substantial gaps in issue-area knowledge hinder the ability of our community to define goals and objectives, test assumptions and strategies, and evaluate efforts. The Nexus Fund supports research projects that advance the knowledge of the community. Research projects supported by The Nexus Fund feed into regular convenings and other learning opportunities, and the research agenda is shaped with direct input from practitioners.
Mapping Our Community
During a 2011 convening to end mass atrocities, practitioners observed that because our community is only beginning to grapple with its complexity and global scale, the basic identification of actors, approaches and issues is a necessary step in building and strengthening networks of practitioners. In response to this need, The Nexus Fund’s first research project is to create a geographic and issue-area map of the community, in order to facilitate networking and collaboration, and will make this information available to all practitioners to use as they see fit. The first pieces of this mapping are to:
(1) Identify the organizations and individuals working in our community, as well as identify gaps and areas of need; and
(2) Better understand the lay of the land in nations considered to be emerging powers, such as South Africa, India, Brazil, Indonesia and China.

If you’ve ever felt like introducing some Vegas-style odds into your retirement plan, you’re finally in luck.
Last week, Fidelity Investments announced that it would allow investors to put part of their retirement savings into bitcoin through a “Digital Assets Account.” A few days later, the U.S. Labor Department voiced “grave concerns” about the plan, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.
Now, Senators Tina Smith and Elizabeth Warren, who has long been a crypto skeptic, are getting in on the action. The politicians penned a letter, released by the WSJ, to the CEO of Fidelity Investments questioning the “appropriateness of [the] company’s decision” to let people plop their life savings in willy nilly fashion into cryptocurrency directly through their employer-sponsored retirement funds. The senators have requested that Fidelity answer multiple questions about their digital assets plan before May 18.
Fidelity is the biggest single retirement plan provider in the U.S., reaching many people through their employer. As of 2020, the company controlled more than a third of the 401(k) market with $2.4 trillion in assets, according to the research firm Cerulli Associates, as reported by the New York Times. Fidelity works with more than 22,000 employers and 32 million individual participants, according to its own website.
Under the 1974 Employee Retirement Income Security Act, “fiduciaries must act solely in the financial interests of plan participants and adhere to an exacting standard of professional care,” wrote the Labor Department in a March statement pre-empting Fidelity’s announcement. Companies that fail to meet those requirements “are personally liable for any losses to the plan resulting from that breach” crypto investments included,” the department went on to clarify.
In that same March statement, the DOL said the Employee Benefits Security Administration would be conducting an investigation into plans that offer crypto investment. They cited the speculative nature, vulnerability to theft, and notorious volatility of crypto, as well as the misleading hype surrounding the unregulated currency in their notice.
Those same points were strongly echoed in Wednesday’s Warren and Smith letter.
Investing in cryptocurrencies is a risky and speculative gamble, and we are concerned that Fidelity would take these risks with millions of Americans’ retirement savings. Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency your company has deemed sound enough for your customers’ retirement savings accounts, has a particularly volatile history. After reaching a high of nearly $69,000 last November, the value of Bitcoin dropped down to $33,000 just over two months later. Indeed, Bitcoin’s value has dropped as much as 30% in a single day.
Note: As of writing this, Bitcoin’s value had fallen more than 7% today alone.
In addition to risk concerns, Warren and Smith also pointed out a potential conflict of interest behind Fidelity’s digital assets announcement. The company began lucratively mining ether and bitcoin in 2017, and soon after added a Coinbase link to customers’ account pages. “Now, Fidelity has become ‘the first to offer employers exposure to Bitcoin for the core lineup of 401(k)s.’ Despite a lack of demand for this option – only 2% of employers expressed interest in adding cryptocurrency to their 401(k) menu,” said the senators’ letter.
Fidelity did not immediately respond to Gizmodo’s request for comment.

David Katakalos began his performance career in the early '70s playing electric bass in rock & roll bands. He soon became reacquainted with the jazz he heard as a child: Rosemary Clooney, Steve Allen, Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Nat King Cole, Stan Getz, etc. His listening expanded to include Bill Evans, Miles Davis, and Thelonius Monk, and though his interests in saxophonists like Charlie Parker or Coleman Hawkins were indulged, the approaches of Wayne Shorter and Lester Young (or Jan Garbarek) have had more allure in his approach to improvisations.
In his subsequent years he met Henry Kuntz, then living in San Antonio. By that time he had been making new music in the service of Anthony and Ron Viola, exploring ways of integrating and defining the boundaries of unstructured improvisation within frameworks and contexts. Under Kuntz's guidance, he began to rethink the approach of finding the sounds and feelings evoked in the musics of Coleman, Coltrane, Ayler, Taylor, Braxton, Haden, Bley, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, etc. In retrospect, the depth of devotion to his praxis of music reached an apex here, perhaps too soon. But it was at this time that the sound of Dexter Gordon came to his attention, as well as the endless inventions of Albany, Montoliu, Peterson, and Tatum.
His experiences and tastes were further expanded when he got a job in a record store and discovered the variety of music available on vinyl at the time; the pull of modern and post-modern musics came to obsess him. The rediscovery of Third Stream and movie composers like John Lewis, Alex North, Jerry Goldstein, and Gunther Schuller were gateways to deeper material such as Messiaen, Penderecki, Bartok, Crumb, Henze, etc. In turn these reawakened his fascination with Mahler, Wagner, the Impressionists, and other post-Romantic music. His affinities for Indian classical music, especially Ali Akbar Khan, expanded to include African, Bedouin, Kurdish, Balinese, and Andean recordings.
He took up the double bass soon after his interest in jazz took hold. To learn proper intonation and coordination on the instrument he practiced with recordings of Monk at night in the dark, attempting to shadow the bassist on the record. Later he would meet face-to-face this and other "shadow artists."
Formal lessons followed with Eric Berman and later George Winters. Both teachers were of the Oscar Zimmerman/Simandl schools of instruction. Katakalos found this approach effective to a point, but it was clear that the Simandl method was aimed at keeping the student in the predictable orchestral attitude of performing. What was happening in the music of Monk, Davis, or even the formalities of the Modern Jazz Quartet was completely different in regard to what is expected and how the performance is delivered.
Katakalos attended the 1984 International Society of Bassists Convention in Chicago. There he met Paul Ellison, who had made "Rabbath's Nouvelle Technique de la Contrabass" his glad tidings to bassists everywhere. Most affecting were the thoroughness and artistry with which Ellison and the bass method presented a complete philosophy and "yoga" for approaching the instrument that transcended the boundaries and preconceptions about the role of the double bass as well as the attitudes one was to have about the music.
For a time he was involved in a jazz trio with the virtuoso guitarist Jackie King and consummate jazz drummer Kevin Hess, creating some dreamy standard interpretations of tunes like "Sunrise, Sunset," "Body and Soul," as well as bebop fugues like "Marmaduke & Scrapple" and "Lady Bird and Half Nelson." He also began working with famed tenor saxophonist Clifford "Honkytonk" Scott and former associate Stephen Lucke, a relentlessly penetrating guitarist, together forming Clifford Scott's Big Three, which expanded to four with the addition of the artful drumming of C.C. Pinkston. For Katakalos, the surrealism of jazz was in full swing at this time.
The death of Gene Ramey at the close of 1984 was a great loss; his friend and mentor had inspired him to begin a new search for ways to take the music Ramey and his Kansas City associates had created to new vistas, as Ramey had urged. Though the two had only known each other for a brief period, they seem to have had the same bass dreams and shared a feeling of purpose in what music can do.
Katakalos began studies in psychology in 1988, with a special attraction to the work of C.C. Jung. He had become disillusioned with certain experiences he had had while collaborating with other performance artists. Though several of his arrangements and directions had been realized and given strong performance reviews, the interpersonal tensions were too great to keep the collaborative efficacy a going concern. Subsequent efforts with other more familiar associates like David Underwood, John Ellison, and Ron Viola produced some of the most surrealistic recordings of free and channeled (or focused) works to date.
While completing academic work in his studies of psychology and sociology, he studied with Theresa Lesiuk in her Music Therapy program at Incarnate Word College. Here Katakalos found confirmation about many of the ideas he had either intuited and/or experienced firsthand in a variety of contexts in the past. In an archetypal sense he realized that the myths about Orpheus were yet alive and the Orphic mission to heal and enhance is a reality.
David Katakalos seems best represented musically by his 1989 composition, Mirandi, a 23-minute work of rich density and instrumental shadow for double instrumental trio. Two recordings of the same piece, the first featuring the bassist with David Underwood (on guitar and synthesizer) and Gib Wharton on guitar, and a second, later recording with Gene Fecci replacing Wharton. The two recordings were superimposed on one another for a dramatic and texturally interesting effect. It's unfortunate that this remarkable collaboration is presently not commercially available.

I have another skirt to show you today! If you haven't already guessed, skirts are one of my favorite things to make. They are quick and easy. This one took me a few days, just because I did not sit down to work on it all at once. It is called the Gabrielle Godet skirt and it is from Kay Whitt's Fashion Formula Skirts Volume 2.
This was my first experience with godets and it went fairly well. They aren't perfect, but I'm happy with how it turned out. I love the fabric! It is a very long a flowy skirt; perfect for summer!
In other news, I have decided to participate in Ashley's summer event called 15 for 15 remix. The idea is to take 15 items (tops, skirts, dresses, pants, shorts, shoes, any item you have in your closet) and you remix them for 15 days. Accessories don't count as part of the 15 items. I have never done anything like this before, so I am excited to try it. I think it will be a good challenge for me! It runs from June 1 - June 15. I will have a post with my 15 items soon.

C-Span might be pleased to know that their viewership is up one thanks to a certain congressional Democrat:
Has C-Span EVER been so riveting? Saw #NancyPelosi today; so impressed with her command of the fire consequences of #GOP Health Act. #resist
— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) March 23, 2017
Yep, nobody has a command of the issues like the politician notorious for saying “pass it to find out what’s in it.”
Speaking of “consequences,” there are reasons Pelosi’s no longer Speaker and Dems are in the minority. Those elections also made for riveting C-Span viewing.

Germany Musikfest Berlin  – Cleare and Poppe: Hannah Weirich (violin), Sara Cubarsi (violin), Michele Marelli (clarinet), Ensemble Musikfabrik, Aaron Cassidy and Enno Poppe (conductors). Philharmonie, Berlin, 5.9.2021. (MB)
Ann Cleare – mire/…/veins (2013); ore (2016); Fossil Lights (2020-21, world premiere); the physics of fog, swirling (2018-19); on magnetic fields (2011-12)
Enno Poppe – Prozession (2015-20)
For my final visit to this year’s Musikfest Berlin: two concerts, morning and afternoon, from Ensemble Musikfabrik. The first was devoted to the music of Ann Cleare, the two ensemble pieces conducted at frighteningly short notice by Aaron Cassidy; the second, conducted by the composer, was devoted to Enno Poppe’s Prozession, begun in 2015, then set aside after eight minutes’ worth of music, to be resumed during lockdown and extended to about fifty in total.
The morning’s Ann Cleare portrait suggested a communicative interest, variety notwithstanding, in instrumental sound as sculpted material. mire/…/veins for brass quintet imparted, from its muted opening, a sense of masked volatility, of activity located somewhere just below a geological surface — and rising. Febrile oscillations were observed and felt, the horn seemingly adopting a central, even mediating, role between the other pairs of instruments: trombone and tuba on one side, two trumpets on the other.
Written for string trio and high reed instrument, here clarinet, the opening shrillness of ore – against glassy strings – suggested a more important role for pitch than its predecessor. Different sections offered a different sense of materiality, as interested in combination as opposition. Indeed, the closeness of clarinet to string timbre was at times surprising. The first performance of Fossil Lights followed, clarinet, violin, and cello remaining, now joined by piano. It proved a haunting piece. Atmosphere may not have been the point; it nevertheless had plenty. Aural beams and slight rotations (whether of pitch, dynamics, etc.) helped me work towards a sense of bifurcation, of two aural visions, connections growing in different ways, according to vantage point: musical work or subject.
Two works for ensemble followed, the physics of fog, swirling commencing with an almost ‘traditional’, Romantic horn call, sound soon changing in all manner of ways, both for horn and greater ensemble. Each part of the title gained importance: fog and swirling, of course, but physics too with respect to method. There is, of course, a myriad ways to swirl, but this was not a catalogue, more a quasi-scientific narrative, even an experiment, which eventually went into reverse, unravelled. Finally, on magnetic fields, for two violins and ensemble, once again offered at least a way in through its title, seemingly realised spatially too by different instrumental groups led by the soloists. It seemed to speak of and with magnetism, fields opposed but also interacting and thus engendering movement. There were moments of galvanising drama, a crackling conclusion to a fascinating programme.
Was Poppe’s Prozession to be a work of music theatre? No, at least not straightforwardly. The musicians stayed where they were, although the slightly unusual make-up of the ensemble had a visual element too: percussion at the back joined by two electronic organs and electric guitar. Its opening seemed almost pictorial, at least in the way a procession by Berlioz or Mahler might be, albeit in a world of spectralism. The procession seemed to be getting under way, or perhaps in preparation, coming to life from drums to solo instruments, to combinations. There was certainly a sense of movement that, however irregular its parts, resulted in something more regular. It died down, returned to its beginnings, then started up again, albeit differently — and again, all the more differently. Instruments picking up the figurative baton from one another seemed, intriguingly, to pick up characteristics too: clarinet from electric guitar, trumpets from saxophone, and so on. The process began to mesmerise, or perhaps one began to realise that it had mesmerised all along. Double bass out of the debris, with others in its penumbra: here was another different path, more shadowy, more distant. Microtonal disorientation became more intense. At some point, the procession began to head away and/or subside, depending on who or what was its subject. What had it meant? That was not really the question: it had been a rite, so it seemed, from another world.

Rasmus, Cecil, Rogers avoid arbitration
Blue Jays lock up trio with one-year deals, will skip hearing process yet again
TORONTO -- The Blue Jays' streak of avoiding arbitration has been extended yet again after the club reached agreements with outfielder Colby Rasmus, left-hander Brett Cecil and right-hander Esmil Rogers on Friday morning.
Rasmus is set to earn $7 million, while Cecil signed for $1.3 million and Rogers will get $1.85 million. The signings came just before Friday's 1 p.m. ET deadline to exchange salary figures in advance of a potential arbitration hearing.
Toronto hasn't taken anyone to arbitration since right-hander Bill Risley in 1997. There have been some close calls in recent years, but the club's streak remains intact.
Rasmus earned a raise of just over $2.3 million following his breakout season at the plate in Toronto. The 27-year-old was one of the few players on the roster to exceed expectations by posting a .276 average, 22 homers, 66 RBIs and an .840 OPS.
The fact that the Blue Jays and Rasmus agreed to terms rather easily would seem to indicate there hasn't been much progress in talks regarding a contract extension. Rasmus is set to hit free agency at the end of this season, but there has yet to be any indication the two sides have had any type of serious negotiations.
Rasmus will be able to secure the lucrative contract he's undoubtedly seeking with a repeat performance of 2013. The free-agent market has been very rewarding for center fielders with impact bats in recent years, and it would appear that Rasmus is headed for a very large payday if he can avoid injury this season.
The former first-round Draft pick is a career .248 hitter, with 98 homers and 312 RBIs. He was acquired from the Cardinals midway through the 2011 season for a package of players that also included Edwin Jackson.
This is the first time Cecil and Rogers were eligible to go through the arbitration process. Cecil will see a raise of approximately $800,000, while Rogers' contract rises by more than $1.3 million.
Cecil was one of the Blue Jays' biggest surprises in 2013. He went from barely making the team out of Spring Training to becoming an All-Star reliever by July. The 27-year-old finished the year with an impressive 2.82 ERA while striking out 70 batters in 60 2/3 innings.
Rogers was expected to be a long reliever out of the bullpen, but he was pressed into the starting rotation when a series of injuries devastated the staff. In total, Rogers went 5-9 with a 4.77 ERA in 44 games (20 starts), and the higher-than-expected innings total certainly played a role in his raise.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has stated that the safety of journalists to go about their duties is sacrosanct.
Condemning attacks on media personnel when the leadership of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) called on him on Wednesday evening, President Akufo-Addo said: “I don’t condone any attacks on any journalist even those who abuse me.”
He said he preferred a noisy and mischievous press to a sycophantic one.
He explained that journalists have to feel safe to go about their work because of what they do for the country and the community as their work was extremely important.
He said he preferred the current kind of press in Ghana which is very active and vibrant especially, the diversity and proliferation which had made the presence of the media felt in every corner of the country.
President Akufo-Addo reiterated that there could be no press freedom if systematically journalists were always afraid for their lives
He described as unfortunately the fact that despite very widespread efforts made the Criminal Investigation Division of the Ghana Police Service, they have not been able to lay hands on the perpetrators of Suale’s death.
He said that it was worrying because without the findings, it was difficult to ascertain the reasons behind the killing, whether it was because of his work as a journalist or for other reason.
President Akufo-Addo opined that the concept of responsible journalism was extremely important for the welfare of the country and that most people were sensitive about the capacity of the media to generate its own information.
He said the media’s capacity and position to independently verify the truth or otherwise of what state actors and others were also saying so that the population was not denied any informed scrutiny of the claims that were being made was crucial.
Regarding decline in the ratings of the country in press freedom index, he wondered why it was like that because he did not know of many countries in Africa with such proliferation of independent media outlets like what pertained in Ghana.
When the Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah explained that the country’s downgrading was because the ratings was more about welfare of journalist, President Akufo-Addo said “if it is that it is about the condition of journalists, well, I can understand it”.
He said this was because journalists in Ghana were notoriously not well paid and that it was the collective responsibility of all to ensure that was addressed.
He assured the association that he would grace the GJA awards night.
The President of the GJA, Albert Dwumfour said this year’s GJA awards night scheduled for November 12, was on the theme “Walking the Path Towards Ghana’s Economic Recovery – The Role of the Media”.
He said the topic sought to highlight the essential role of the media in the present challenging socio-economic circumstances and how best the media could help in the economic recovery efforts.
He called on the President to revive his annual media Encounter’ series to enable him share thoughts on pertinent national issues with the media and to also enable the media express their concerns about the operations of the government.
He expressed worry about the welfare of journalists and said the association was engaging media owners as to how best to address the situation and urged government to also do its part in saving the Ghana Broadcasting from collapse.

Nordic design: 6 new decoration trends for 2021
What are the significant trends in the Nordic design scene in 2020? We have been to the '3 Days of Design' festival in Copenhagen, Denmark, to answer this question. The fair, usually in spring, was held this year from September 3-5 due to the coronavirus pandemic. In the 2020 edition, more than 160 companies and organizations from the Nordic design scene showcased their innovations and ideas. Many of them have focused on sustainability but also highlight solutions for small-space living or a return to what can be defined as vintage technology. This article highlights six ideas that have caught our attention in this year's edition.
1. Furniture that encourages social interaction
In a world where we spend more and more time glued to a screen, especially during these months of confinement and social distancing, human interaction has become a priority for many people. The Sideways sofa, by Danish designer Rikke Frost for Carl Hansen & Søn, is one such novelty that seeks to encourage safe contact between people. "On most sofas, we sit side by side, which can be intimidating, or face to face, which is sometimes uncomfortable for more informal social interaction. I have intended to create a sofa that encourages more natural conversation," Frost explained at Carl Hansen & Søn's flagship store in central Copenhagen. "Tablets and other digital equipment are challenging the way we interact, so I wanted to make a sofa where people sit facing each other and can talk in a slightly more natural way."
2. Smoothness and rounded forms
Is there anything more comforting than lying on a soft, round piece of furniture? Perhaps the world is a more challenging place today may be why we've seen a more significant number of upholstered pieces in pleasingly organic, rounded shapes this year. The fluffy Sequoia sheepskin pouf, designed by Space Copenhagen for Fredericia Furniture, is another excellent example of the pastel trend we saw at this show. The striking benches and poufs in Please Wait to be Seated's ANZA collection further proves that we are increasingly enjoying soft, cushioned products and spaces.
3. Multifunctional and space-saving solutions
Space in many cities is becoming increasingly scarce and, in general, for different reasons, the houses being built are tiny. This trend calls for a bright, multifunctional, and space-saving design, and Nordic design responds to that challenge. A great example is the Angle stool by Danish publisher Form & Refine. Its folding design allows the chair to be hung on the wall when not used (a solid brass hook is included).
Another example we bring from Copenhagen of multifunctional design is the Terra collection, a series of plant accessories designed by Norwegian architecture and studio Snøhetta for the Georg Jensen brand. Three of the stainless steel planters in the collection are reversible. Thus, when a plant grows, the pot can be turned around and, thus, have a pot with more volume, all in one piece.
4. Nordic classics from the '50s and '60s are back.
Relaunching furniture from the 50s and 60s or delving into the archives to find "new" designs from the great designers of the golden age of Nordic furniture is a trend we've been seeing for a while. Danish high-end radio and television manufacturer Bang & Olufsen is engaged in a project in which they buy and restore some of the most iconic design pieces from previous decades. The Beogram 4000 series turntables, designed in 1972 by Jacob Jensen, are the first products to be refurbished. Buying one of these vintage products that have been restored by hand is a way to add a unique piece to your home; it's also more sustainable than buying new ones.
5. Old and new merge in a modern, creative and sustainable way.
Home décor often involves a mix of old and new pieces. In the 2020 edition, design brand & Tradition and auction house Bruun Rasmussen have given shape to this trend in the exhibition A Collector's Home.
Both companies have furnished the Lindencrone mansion in central Copenhagen, showcasing a century of design & Tradition alongside art pieces and antique furniture that Bruun-Rasmussen is auctioning at the end of September, including Russian mahogany chairs from 1850; a 1950s bar cabinet from Danish publisher Lysberg, Hansen & Therp; and several modern bronze sculptures worth between €1,200 and €5,000. The trend of mixing old and new is a way to bring personality to an interior and is also a form of sustainable decorating: don't buy anything new if you can get good second-hand items or already have things that work. If it's time to get something new, it's best to opt for quality pieces with timeless aesthetics.
6. Greenwashing or false sustainability
Sustainability is the buzzword in the design industry right now. Today, companies are no longer questioning sustainable value but are looking for the best ways to become green and environmentally friendly brands. But when everyone is striving to be, or at least appear to be, greener than their competitors, there is a risk that some companies promise more in this regard about their materials, production, shipping, and products than is accurate. This is called greenwashing, and during the panel discussion 'Danish Design 2.0', several designers highlighted the importance of making consumers aware of this phenomenon.
"Of course, many companies are talking about sustainability in the marketing of their products," says Danish industrial designer Kasper Salto. He suggests that what is unacceptable is when what is made falls far short of those promises.

I'm really new in "coding" (I'm actually using GameMaker so I don't know if it can even be considered that) so I think I'm still lacking in the right mindset. I started making a car game just for the pure fun of playing with some really simple physics, until I got in touch with (the seemingly infamous) guide of Marco Monster (http://www.asawicki.info/Mirror/Car%20Physics%20for%20Games/Car%20Physics%20for%20Games.html).
That's when the things started to get difficult and extremely fun! I enjoy trying to figure these things out.
For the last week I've been wrestling with slipratio but I finally somehow nailed it with RK4 (which I hadn't even heard about two weeks ago).
But now I stumbled upon a new obstacle which I just can't seem to get a grip of. Braking.
I know that I basically should put a friction force on the wheel which should then be turned into a torque(?) that resists the angular velocity of the wheel slowing it down. After that, my slipratio calculations should make the car slowdown and finally stop. This is the part which I don't get, how do I make tire stop a zero angular velocity? It must be somehow related with angular velocity and traction torque, right? I just can't get a hold of it.
Thanks in advance!
Ps. I read somewhere that the simplest way to simulate engine breaking is k*rps. Has anybody ran into a "realistic" coefficient?

We alerted you of the significant changes to our previous “normal protocols” in serving the public and protecting our clinical and administrative staff during Covid-19. And our patients listened! But did we miss the importance of sharing with them that, in addition to isolation and protection, the need for dental care is paramount to their overall health?
Some re-care patients have placed dentistry lower on their priority scale perhaps out of fear for their safety or the lack of ongoing dental benefits from their workplace. Instead of routine dental care, they may attend our offices only if they think it is necessary and sufficiently affects their well-being. Neglecting oral health could have negative health results for the population and serious consequences for a dental practice.
Relationship of Oral Care to Health Status
We must communicate more effectively to our patients the positive effect oral health has on our general health status. This is part of our responsibility as trusted dental professionals. Although this message used to be routinely delegated to our hygienist but ignored by other clinicians, it helped to prevent periodontal disease through re-care appointments with debridement and scaling. Good oral health and clinical well-being helps bolster our immune system’s resistance to the current virus and possibly, future pandemics.
Communicating the Message
Educating patients about the biological aspects required to remain as healthy as possible cannot be ignored. This part of the practice may not have been prioritized sufficiently as we focused on the perceived need to market aesthetics in order to remain competitive with the abundance of practitioners all vying for new patients.
It is, therefore, necessary for us to reassure patients that all the required disinfection processes, distancing, renovations, and PPE issues have been addressed. Unfortunately, as the second wave of pandemic strikes, populations are justifiably being encouraged to stay home as much as possible. Even though dentists can’t deny that the advice is sound, they can demonstrate their concerns for patients’ overall health and well-being by urging improved homecare in the interest of minimizing the risk of oral breakdown requiring emergency treatment.
Educating patients about the biological aspects required to remain as healthy as possible cannot be ignored.
Promoting Positive Oral Health Behaviours
Forced confinement often coincides with a diet rich in mood-boosting sugar. However, this can contribute to problems including dental breakdown. Healthcare professionals need to inform patients of the real risk of foregoing the necessary preventive and reparative active treatment. Enhanced understanding of the complexity and importance of dental care for general health promotes informed decisions and encourages patients to continue with dental maintenance.
To motivate our patients to increase their homecare oral regimes, we need to stress the need for routine oral healthcare. People at home may have more time available for preventive oral health procedures, and we should encourage them by stressing the benefits.
Creating awareness of the value of the re-care appointment to promote oral health that enhances general health is another way to educate our patients who entrust their confidence and care in us. By pointing out the newly controlled environment and safety protections, patients feel more confident when they return to the office. Some offices encourage patients to book every 6 to 9 months in order to “have their teeth cleaned”. This messaging may mislead patients to think that these appointments are of relatively little importance.
Ongoing Oral Healthcare Benefits
Yet another way to educate patients is to outline that a detailed re-care examination can help promote healthy living by screening for diseases of the oral cavity including serious pathologies such as pre-carcinomas and other lesions which, if discovered in time, can avoid serious treatment. Furthermore, it is important to show the relationship between good oral health and periodontal disease as well as other inflammatory diseases and the body’s hyperactive immune response. There is a direct relationship between periodontal disease and heart disease, cancer, and other inflammatory conditions which, if left untreated, may lead to negative health outcomes.
When practitioners internalize that our service contributes to general health, we will be able to inform patients of the benefits of maintaining ongoing and preventive oral care. As the value of oral healthcare and the necessity of dental treatment becomes more generally accepted by the public, it will lead to an enhanced understanding of the relationship between routine oral health care and general well-being. With this knowledge, appropriate dental care at dental offices will become a priority for patients.
Communicating the relevance of dental health allows the public to make an intelligent decision whether to go, forgo, or postpone their normal dental care. Sometimes I wonder if we don’t lose sight of the importance of what we do daily. Such neglect to inform patients of the value we provide and its link to general medical well-being is a disservice to the patients we serve.

Anyone who has wandered into a Kid Robot store will know the Munny (pronounced Muni) doll. It's a blank, white vinyl character you can decorate yourself with pens and crayons. If there was a word like "androgynous" with an expanded meaning to encompass "indeterminate creature" then it would describe the Munny. It's vaguely human, vaguely animal, vaguely neither. Jan Huling, a former advertising creative, decided to bead the heck out of the minimalist Munny, making it decidedly maximalist. The result is a stunning twist on this famous, faceless anime icon. I stumbled across it in Lyons Wier Gallery, an inviting, accessible corner space on 7th Ave which rubs shoulders with the more pedestrian Jamba Juices, Pinkberrys and falafel joints, quite distant from the main westside Chelsea Gallery district. "We're on the cusp, I enjoy the location and being away from the Gallery scene," said Michael Lyons, one of the new breed of gallery owner I'

New York Fashion Week has gotten off to a sad start. 40 years young Alexander McQueen, a celebrated fashion designer, hanged himself in a hotel room yesterday . I happened to walk past his store in the Meatpacking District, today. It's right near Stella McCartney's store, currently depicting big pixelated signs saying LOVE. Flowers were laid on the pavement and the blind was drawn. As if in sympathy, many other stores in the area were closed, when they'd normally be open - a Friday night at 7pm. I don't have any McQueen threads - the pricing is stratospheric. But I have occasionally wandered into the store for a poke around. Boutiques in NYC are like mini-museums where you can actually touch the art, try it on, and if you've got the cash, take it home. Imagine trying that with a Picasso! However, a few months ago I happened to be passing by a building in Chelsea which often has a sandwich board out front advertising warehouse sales - in this case, one for Al

Greetings and thank you all that stop by my blog. Our weather here in the Pacific Northwest is still soggy and we just can't seem to get rid of that atmospheric river weather front. So I thought today's design was just perfect for our weather.
I coated all the rain slickers with the Glossy Accents for shine. I added a cape, pockets and bow to the rain slickers. Each umbrella is coated with Glossy Accents and then Art Glitter. Raindrops are created using the Viva Glass Effect Gel. The white clouds are also coated and dusted with Art Glitter and mounting tape for dimension.

School Board member calls police chief a "skinhead" over a speeding ticket:
I have never seen or heard a more disrespectful police officer in my life! (Sarcasm)
Did he have to threaten her with calling an ambulance for her and her apparent panic attack?
And now we see the result of all of the mind games that are played in politics and in the media that bounce around in the publics heads. And I am not saying that being pulled over by the police cannot be stressful, because it is, and it can be. And it can quickly spiral out of control if the stress gets to you and the officer is not as objective and professional as this particular officer was.
Stressful especially at times if you are a minority, I can understand her initial response to some degree. But the woman is an affluent and I assumed a sophisticated professional and a mother driving with her child going to school in an affluent neighborhood. This was morning during the day and not at two o'clock in the morning under suspicious circumstances.
And stressful especially if you as an adult approach the interaction in such a high pressure and out-of-control subjective panic manner mode. And again, I understand her initial emotional reaction being a woman of color given all of the crazy that we are all witness to, but there was no threat nor was there any disrespect.
This to me was just a stereo typical SNL worthy skit treatment reaction at best. If the woman that was stopped by the police officer saw this video, do you think she might see things in a different light? And upon reflection I would hope that she would offer the police officer and her daughter an explanation and an apology. But I am not holding my breath.
"Good morning officer, is there a problem?"
What happened to "Good morning officer, is there a problem?
Yes mam, you were doing 37 in a 25 MPH school zone in the morning when children are going to school. May I see your license and registration? We have come a long way in America, and we still have got a long way to go to get to anything that resembles a new and reasonable normal. For everyone.

Starting a business is pretty thrilling, but guess what? It comes with some legal stuff, like publication requirements. Lucky for you, we are here to help you by providing information on how ZenBusiness LLC benefits your firm.
In this easy-to-follow guide, we’re diving deep into ZenBusiness LLC’s publication rules. We’ll chat about why they even exist, what stuff you gotta publish, where to do it, and how ZenBusiness makes it all a breeze. Let’s get into it!
Understanding ZenBusiness LLC
Let us first introduce ZenBusiness LLC before going into publication requirements. ZenBusiness is a business formation service that helps entrepreneurs with the process of launching and maintaining a firm. They provide LLC creation, registered agent services, and compliance support. ZenBusiness’s goal is to simplify the difficulties of company compliance, such as publication requirements.
Why Publication Requirements Exist
Several states in the United States have publication requirements, and its primary aim is to provide public notice of a newly created corporate company, often an LLC. These regulations are intended to improve transparency and safeguard customers, creditors, and other interested parties. The state guarantees that people are aware of the business’s existence and can take appropriate action if necessary by posting information about it in local media.
ZenBusiness LLC Publication Service
ZenBusiness understands that meeting publication requirements might be difficult for new business owners. To make the procedure easier, they provide a publication service that handles the publication obligations on their clients’ behalf. This is how it works:
1. Eligibility Check
When you incorporate an LLC with ZenBusiness, they do an eligibility check to see if publishing is necessary in the state where your company is registered. Because not all states have publication obligations, this preliminary check ensures that you only proceed if absolutely necessary.
2. Preparation of Documents
If publication is required, ZenBusiness will create all of the relevant documents to meet the publication requirements. This usually entails writing a notice and filling out any necessary forms.
3. Submission to Newspapers
ZenBusiness then sends the publication documents to the state-designated newspapers for publication. They manage the entire process, from newspaper selection to timely publication.
4. Affidavit of Publication
When the publishing is finished, ZenBusiness issues you an Affidavit of publishing, which is a legal document stating that the mandatory publication was conducted in accordance with state regulations.
5. Peace of Mind
By using ZenBusiness’s publication service, business owners may concentrate on their core operations while remaining in compliance with state regulations. It gives you peace of mind while also saving you time and effort.
Publication Requirements by State
The rules for publication differ greatly from one state to the next. Some states, such as New York and Arizona, have rigorous publication requirements, while others, such as Delaware and Nevada, have none at all. It is critical for business owners to grasp their state’s specific standards. We’ll go over some common states with publication obligations and what they entail below:
1. New York
New York is known for having one of the most stringent publication requirements for LLCs. Within 120 days of forming an LLC, you must publish a notice of your LLC’s formation in two newspapers, one daily and one weekly, in the county where your LLC’s office is located. This requirement can be costly and time-consuming.
In Arizona, LLCs are required to publish an approved notice of their formation for three consecutive publications in a newspaper within 60 days of filing the Articles of Organization.
Nebraska requires LLCs to publish a notice of their formation in a local newspaper for three consecutive weeks within one year of formation. The notice must include specific information about the LLC.
How ZenBusiness Helps in These States
For business owners in states like New York, Arizona, and Nebraska, ZenBusiness’s publication service is invaluable. They handle the entire process, ensuring that you comply with the state’s publication requirements without the stress and hassle of navigating it on your own. Using Zen business customer service users can simplify their queries related to filing LLC.
What Information Needs to Be Published
The information that needs to be published as part of the LLC formation varies by state. However, common elements typically include:
- The name of the LLC.
- The purpose of the LLC.
- The county where the LLC’s office is located.
- A statement that the LLC has been formed.
ZenBusiness will guide you through the specifics of what needs to be published based on the requirements of your state.
Where to Publish
The designated newspapers for publication also vary by state and sometimes even by county. ZenBusiness has established relationships with newspapers in various states, allowing them to efficiently handle the publication process on your behalf. They select newspapers that meet the legal requirements of your state.
Costs: Publication costs can vary widely depending on the state and the newspapers chosen. In states with strict requirements like New York, the cost can be a significant consideration for business owners. ZenBusiness provides transparency regarding the costs involved in their publication service.
Timeliness: Timeliness is crucial when it comes to publication requirements. Failing to meet deadlines can result in penalties or the dissolution of your LLC. ZenBusiness’s expertise in this area ensures that all deadlines are met promptly.
In states that require such notices, ZenBusiness LLC publication requirements are a crucial aspect of operating a firm. These standards must be met in order to retain good standing and legal compliance. Besides these considerations, you can access more information about how to start an LLC.
ZenBusiness’ publication solution streamlines this procedure, allowing business owners to focus on creating and growing their enterprises while still meeting all state-mandated publication requirements. Whether you live in a state with strict regulations, such as New York, or a state with little, ZenBusiness will help you navigate the complexity of LLC formation and compliance

Now that most of the winter crop has been planted, it is important to start a regular monitoring program for pests, weeds and diseases.
Last year’s abnormally wet winter, followed by the January floods, has made weed control difficult for many growers and has increased the chance of potential epidemics of some pest and diseases. Vigilance will be needed to get weeds and pests back under control.
Last year, leaf rust caused significant damage to barley crops in Queensland. This year it has already been detected in both wheat and barley crops in the eastern cropping belt.
Remember, young weeds are easier to control than older weeds, and you should definitely control them before they seed. Another consequence of the extreme wet last season is the build up of inoculum for diseases in wheat, barley and chickpea. All three crops were heavily infected last year with a wide range of diseases.
Of big concern this year is the threat of a rust epidemic. The wet summer has favoured a green bridge for the carry-over of leaf and stem rusts in the eastern states. Already there are recordings of leaf rust in wheat and barley, as well as stem rust in wheat and oats. The risk of stripe, stem and leaf rust to wheat growers is potentially the worst disease risk in 40 years because of increased inoculum levels in crops during 2010, the weather patterns we’ve experienced and the potential for carry over on volunteer plants.
A new campaign has been launched to encourage growers to be proactive and plan their 2011 rust management strategy. The ‘Rust Bust’ campaign encourages wheat growers to use a range of tools for rust management including:
From a biosecurity perspective growers and agronomists need to be carefully monitoring for rust on all varieties. If rust is seen on varieties that should be resistant this may indicate that a new (exotic) strain has become established in Australia.
One such strain is Ug99, a new stem rust of wheat that is causing significant damage to wheat in many parts of the world. In barley, as well as endemic diseases such as leaf rust, net blotch and powdery mildew, a major exotic disease of concern is barley stripe rust, which is predicted to affect at least 80 per cent of our barley varieties. Any stripe rust seen on barley should be reported as it may mean a new incursion.
For chickpeas, growers should be monitoring for the endemic disease ascochyta 10 to 14 days after rain. If you find the disease you should refer to the Pulse Australia web site for control recommendations.
For more information on biosecurity in the grains industry go to the biosecurity section on the Plant Health Australia web site. Or call the Queensland Grains Biosecurity Office, Kym McIntyre on 0429 727 690. Rust Bust is an initiative of the Australian Cereal Rust Control Program consultative committee, supported by the Grains Research and Development Corporation.

Purpose: To compare the therapeutic efficacy and safety of newly developed preservative-free (PF) brimonidine/timolol fixed-combination (BTFC) ophthalmic solutions and a preservative-containing (PC) BTFC ophthalmic solution in patients with open-angle glaucoma. Methods: This study was conducted as a multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PF BTFC as compared with PC BTFC in adult patients (aged ≥ 19 years) with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT). A total of the 106 patients were enrolled, with 53 patients each randomized to the two treatment groups and included in the analysis of the safety set (SS). After a washout period, patients with an IOP below 35 mmHg at 9 a.m. were enrolled. After a full ophthalmic and glaucoma examination, a total of 106 OAG and OHT patients were randomized to the PF group or PC group. All subjects were examined 4 and 12 weeks after first administration. At each follow-up visit, IOP was measured at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. and the efficacy, safety, and compliance were evaluated. Throughout the study, all adverse events were recorded and monitored by the investigators. Results The mean IOP changes from baseline to 12 weeks at 11:00 a.m. were −3.45 ± 2.53 mmHg in the PF group and −3.65 ± 2.76 mmHg in the PC group (p < .0001 for both). The difference in mean IOP change between the two groups was 0.20 ± 2.65 mmHg, which was not significantly different. The proportion of patients with IOP reductions of ≥ 15% and ≥ 20% and IOP at all-time points in the PF group were not significantly different when compared with in the PC group. There were no specific differences between the two groups regarding the incidence of adverse events. Conclusions PF BTFC ophthalmic solution shows a similar efficacy and safety profile to that of PC BTFC.

So, pick up the new Idea Book and a goodie bag, see the demonstration, and share some wine and friendship with other crafters and friends.


MEDIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Deborah and John Hausladen have been married for more than 40 years. And though they have two children, they have treated thousands of active duty military members as their own.
"Our youngest son was deployed to Afghanistan in 2018," said Deborah. "As any mother would, I asked him, what do you need? And he said a pair of sneakers. His sneakers were starting to wear out."
But one pair of shoes was not enough to meet the greater need. The Malvern couple formed the nonprofit, Sneakers for Soldiers, to provide footwear for more troops like their son.
The non-profit is aided by a local small business, Bryn Mawr Running Company, who provides shoes at a discounted cost and offers the basement of their Media location as a shipping hub.
"It's expanded into over 11,000 service members in combat zones in imminent danger areas, the most hostile, the most rugged environments in the world," said Deborah.
The Hausladens typically never get to meet the soldiers who receive their care packages. However, that changed when they were introduced to Will Jones, a selected reservist with the United States Navy who lives in Chester Springs.
"My deployment came pretty quick and I remember taking three pairs of boots and then the sneakers that were on my feet at the time," he said. "And in about two months, I noticed the tread was wearing on the foot and I could literally see my foot."
His wife heard about Sneakers for Soldiers and helped to facilitate a special delivery for her husband.
Jones, then deployed in Africa, was thrilled to receive a new pair of sneakers. He still wears them occasionally and as a token of his gratitude.
"I opened the box up, I tried them on, they fit perfectly. I went for a run," he said. "It meant a lot getting that because it was a sense of that home for me."
Sneakers for Soldiers relies on donations and volunteers to continue. To learn more, visit their website.


When The Pastels released their gorgeous Slow Summits LP back in May, I was taken aback at how they’d managed to return from a sixteen-year absence with minimal suggestion of rust. That Mazzy Star have pulled off a similar feat despite being missing a year longer, in terms of recorded output, is testament to the honesty of their music; if you think about it, if a band write songs in a genuine and sincere manner, they shouldn’t really struggle to return from any length of time away, so long as making music equates to being themselves.
That’s plainly the case on Seasons of Your Day, a record that takes the sonic characteristics that defined the first three Mazzy Star records and amplifies them. You could probably offer up any number of potential explanations as to the reason for this record’s unusually lengthy gestation period, but it’s hardly difficult to imagine that it might just be because Hope Sandoval and David Roback aren’t inclined to rush anything. Such is the unhurried style of their music, as we’re immediately reminded with opener ‘In the Kingdom’. An unobtrusive wurlitzer chugs away in the background as Sandoval peddles us a tale of an epiphanic train journey - “I thought I was listening to a band play the song that changed me” – with all the formality of a chat by the campfire, but it’s little wonder that Roback’s slide guitar steals the show; it’s fitting that an instrument so languid in its sound is so pivotal to a band as laidback as Mazzy Star.
There’s always plenty said about Sandoval’s vocal work – and rightly so – but given the crucial importance of Roback’s contributions, there’s little doubt he’s the outfit’s unsung hero. He’s carved out a trademark sound on both the electric slide and the acoustic; he brings a haunting quality to the latter on the yearning ‘California’. He’s the perfect foil for Sandoval’s consistently powerful delivery, but that’s not to say he can’t match her for character or personality; see his forceful turn on the bluesy ‘Flying Low’.
The dusky quality of Sandoval’s voice seems to have only been enhanced by the passing of time; she brings characteristic intimacy to the instrumentally threadbare likes of ‘Common Burn’ and ‘Sparrow’, but there’s room for her to explore other styles; there’s menace on the Bert Jansch-backed ‘Spoon’, while the title track’s slow-burning strings provide a fitting backdrop for her talents.
Anybody going into listening to Seasons of Your Day expecting the seventeen-year break to have borne fruit in the form of musical progression and greater diversity will be disappointed, but the cult nature of Mazzy Star’s following is such that it’s difficult to envision anybody actually taking that approach. There’s nothing particularly new here, nothing cutting edge, but there is beautiful, considered, genuine songwriting, and to greet such art with any kind of disdain would be nothing short of a travesty.

Do you love horses and also want to improve your mental and physical health? Then horse riding in San Diego may be just the hobby for you! Horse riding is more than just sitting on top of a large animal and making it go forward. In order to properly ride a horse, you need both strong muscles and a strong mind in order to communicate and bond with a living creature.
Read on to learn all about the numerous health benefits of horse riding!
1. Burn Calories
If you’re mainly focused on losing weight, then you’ll be happy to learn that horse riding helps you burn some serious calories. Horse riding is considered a moderate form of exercise. Although the horse you’re riding is doing most of the work, you also have to use your leg and core muscles in order to stay balanced.
An hour’s riding at a walking pace burns about 120 calories. At a trotting pace, you’ll burn approximately 360 calories. At most, you’ll burn 480 calories after an hour of galloping. This is about the same as a 30-minute jog.
2. Improve Flexibility
There’s more to horse riding than just sitting stationary on a horse. For instance, in order to mount a horse properly and sit upright in a saddle, you need a good amount of flexibility in your hips and legs. As you’re posting, or rising out of the saddle in time with the horse’s forelegs for a smoother ride, you’ll need to attain more flexibility in order to establish mobility and control.
3. Core and Thigh Strength
Horse riding isn’t a relaxing activity if you’re trotting or galloping. This is because you need to stay balanced on the horse or you can easily be bumped off the saddle. Posting, or rising up and down in the saddle as the horse moves, requires strong thighs and a strong core. Horse riding can also be considered a form of isometric training, as your joint angle and muscle length won’t be changing much if your horse keeps moving at the same pace.
Horse riding also requires a great deal of coordination. Not only are you balancing on your horse with strong thighs and a strong core, but you also need to be able to apply the right pressure with the reins. Squeezing your heels or legs against a horse’s thighs will give it small cues to speed up, and it’s also important to look in the direction of where you want to go along with holding the right tension in the reigns.
Your horse will be listening to and responding to all the subtle motions and pressures of your body, and they all need to be perfectly coordinated so you can accurately communicate to the horse where you want to go and how fast.
In order to sit properly on a horse, you also need the right posture. Many beginners will clench too hard with their legs, slump, or lean forward out of fear of falling. However, incorrect postures will make you lose your center of gravity and make you more prone to falling.
Instead, sitting straight up and relaxed will help you keep a firm center of gravity in the saddle. With your shoulders back and relaxed, chest out, and arms loosely at your sides, you’ll be training your body to sit properly both on and off a horse.
Without proper posture in our daily lives, people are prone to:
- Poor digestion – Staying slouched compresses your digestive organs
- Cardiovascular disease – Blood vessel restriction
- Chronic back pain – Disc degeneration
- Subluxations – Spine becomes misaligned
- Nerve constriction – Causes pain in different parts of the body
6. Mental Wellbeing
Not only does horse riding help with your physical health, but you can also experience profound mental wellbeing by regular exercise through horse riding. Exercise, in general, helps everyday stress, anxiety, and even depression because of the endorphins produced in our brains. Exercise can also:
- Reduce fatigue
- Improve alertness and concentration
- Enhance cognitive function
- Improve the ability to sleep
Horse riding in particular also has profound therapeutic effects because of the bond between horse and human. Imagine the bond that you have with pets, such as cats and dogs. Horses are just as intelligent as these household pets and tend to be particularly in tune with our emotions.
7. Positive Sensory Stimulation
Horse riding in San Diego is often recommended for people on the autism spectrum or with mental disorders because of its ability to positively stimulate the senses. As you ride a horse, your sight, sense of smell, touch, and hearing are all stimulated and necessary in order to ride a horse effectively.
You need to focus on the present moment in order to attend to all of these senses. This helps build emotional strength as you set aside your chronic stress and worries of the day and focus on an activity that you can control. Children and adults alike can then use this mindfulness to improve their every day lives.
Horse Riding in San Diego: Improving Your Mind and Body
Horse riding is more than just sitting on top of a horse and riding from point A to point B. In order to be an accomplished rider, you need to be able to strengthen both your mind and B. From strengthening your core and leg muscles from encouraging you to pay more attention to your senses, coordination, and the present moment, horse riding gives you a holistic way of improving yourself while also bonding with a gentle living creature.

An energized Sonia Mora barely had time to speak as people lined up with questions at Saturday’s Farmers Market.
The market opened for its 23rd season at its usual location on First Street in front of the Woodland Public Library.
Mora, who has served as market manager for all of those 23 years, still retains her enthusiasm for the event where residents can stock up on produce as well as other products in a relaxed, comfortable setting.
Weather for the opening day was warm but not excessively so, allowing shoppers an opportunity for greater conversation with growers. The market is open from 9 a.m. to noon each Saturday.
The city’s Rec2Go Van was also on scene to provide other recreational activities for kids as well.
The Kid’s Farmers Market is also back once again. It is scheduled about twice a month with the first one being May 18. This market allows children to shop for themselves with $5 of play money that is given to them to purchase what they want in the Kid’s Farmers Market area.
“We encourage the parents to let the kids pick out what they want and not what the parents want them to get,” stated Mora. “It is a great learning experience. The library will also hold an interactive ‘Story time’ at 10:30 a.m. every Saturday.”
Although still early in the season, the market still had more than 25 vendors with growers featuring brilliant red strawberries, purple onions, green squash and hairy, brown kiwis.
As the season goes on, Mora said people can expect fresh, just off the vine tomatoes, zucchini, beans and a large assortment of berries.
The wet winter put some farmers a bit behind on the planting, she said Saturday, but things are looking good with more vendors expected with their fresh produce.
“If you are trying to get your own garden started, come on out and get a few transplants at the market,” Mora affirmed on Saturday. “Tomatoes, herbs, squash will all be available.”
On Saturday, May 25, the market will host its annual fundraiser called “Chalk on the Block.”
“We ask sponsors to purchase sidewalk squares and then we have local artists create a market-themed design with chalk in each square,” she said. “There is no fee for artists and we supply all of the chalk. We have squares from $50 to $200.”
During the Chalk on the Block, there will also be a “Doodle Zone,” area just for the kids that is sponsored by Nugget Market and Food 4 Less so Mora encourages families to bring their children so that they can show off their talents as well.
Later, on Saturday, June 15, the market holds its “Health and Safety Day.”
“Glucose screenings, blood pressure checks will be available,” Mora explained. “We will also joined by the Woodland Police Department and Fire Departments and other local agencies to share what resources are available in our community.”
“Although the Woodland Farmers Market will not be hosting the Tomato Festival this year, the Tomato will still be celebrated on Aug. 10 with Tomato Day!” Mora previously noted. “Master Gardeners will be offering tomato tastings as well as other activities that day.”
The market is set up to accept EBT, debit or credit cards, stated Mora and those who need more information can get it on Saturday at the market’s information booth.
The Tuesday market at Dignity Heath Woodland Memorial Hospital will kick off on June 4 from 5 to 8 p.m. and will be every Tuesday through August.
“We have live music and there will be multiple food choices for dinner,” stated Mora. “Las Brasas, Gyro Palace and Phil Me Up will be there so you do not have to think about cooking on Tuesday nights throughout the summer.”

What’s the Real Cause of Anxiety in Dogs?
Anxiety in dogs can present itself in many ways. Finding the real cause of anxiety in your dog can be a huge relief and the first step in finding the solution for your dog. Many dogs experience anxiety, in fact, more than 70% of dogs display signs of anxiety. Together, we’ll discuss the cause and treatment of your dog’s anxiety.
Cause Of Anxiety in Dogs
There are a variety of things that can cause anxiety in dogs. Below we go over the causes of dog anxiety.
Around 14% of dogs experience separation anxiety. Dogs who present separation anxiety are nervous and anxious when left alone for any period of time. They cannot find comfort while alone, and can exhibit undesirable behaviors when alone like excessive barking or crying, destruction, and urinating or defecating inside.
Fear of loud noises
July 4th may be dogs’ least favorite day… Many dogs are fearful of loud noises like fireworks, thunder, and construction, causing them great anxiety. These moments of anxiety can be only situational, but should be addressed.
Changes in environment
New environments can be anxiety inducing for dogs as well. Some dogs take longer to adjust to a move or a new experience.
Though dogs are pack animals, some don’t appreciate company like others. Dogs can feel social anxiety when their humans have new people over, making the dog nervous and anxious.
Some dogs are anxious without a situation or fear pushing them to anxiety. Some breeds are more prone to anxiety than others, as well.
Not all, but dogs who have been rescued or spent an extended period of time in a shelter often show signs of anxiety. They may seem more withdrawn or weary of strangers.
Age related anxiety
As dogs age, sometimes they begin to show signs of dementia which can make them scared and stressed. Also, as they age, dogs can lose their hearing or sight making them fearful and anxious.
Illness can also induce feelings of anxiety for dogs because they are unable to understand why they are feeling sick.
Signs of Anxiety
Anxiety in dogs can present itself in many different ways and recognizing the signs and triggers can help us pet parents manage their stress better! The signs of dog anxiety include:
- Urinating or defecating in the house
- Destructive behavior
- Depression symptoms like loss of appetite and usual activity
- Excessive barking
- Pacing and restlessness
- Compulsive behaviors
Some anxiety behaviors, like aggression and destructive behavior, can be particularly dangerous, so it is best to find a solution to dog anxiety as soon as possible. Other behaviors might be a one off, like shaking during storms, while some, like urinating in the house, is a sign of severe separation anxiety.
Dog Anxiety Treatment
There are a myriad of ways pet parents can treat dogs with anxiety. The first step in treating dogs with anxiety is to speak to your veterinarian, who can help identify the type of anxiety and possible causes and triggers. They can help come up with a treatment plan, while also ruling out any other medical conditions that might be causing this anxiety.
Training and counterconditioning are also effective ways to reduce dog anxiety. By counterconditioning, dog owners should replace the anxious behavior with a good behavior like sitting or focusing changing the dog’s response to the stimuli responsible for anxiety,
With training, you can also try to desensitize by slowly introducing your dog to the source of its anxiety in small, regulated doses. Exposure and rewarding positive behavior can have a huge impact on anxious dogs.
Contacting a professional dog trainer can also help.
Supplements for anxiety in dogs
There are also many supplements on the market today for dog anxiety! Some, like Wolf Spring, are easy to give and recommended by vets. In new research, plant ingredients have shown amazing results for dogs like calmed behavior, relaxation, and stress relief.
For dogs with separation anxiety, there are steps to take before leaving them alone that can help reduce their anxiety. Taking your dog for a nice long walk to tire them out helps reduce feelings of anxiety. Giving a calming treat, powder, or liquid before leaving can also ease your dog’s anxiety. Leaving out interactive toys and bones is a good way to keep your dog busy and leave them with a positive feeling when you leave. Having a consistent schedule can help your anxious dog as well.
Though sometimes hard to predict when storms or fireworks are about to hit, dogs with anxiety from environmental noise can benefit from calming treats, liquids, and powders as well. Calming vests have also been found to be beneficial to reduce anxiety. Getting anxious dogs used to the loud sounds of thunder, construction, and fireworks by playing recordings at low volumes and passing treats to them so they have a positive experience when hearing the sound has also been proven successful.
Try stuffed Kongs, puzzles, bully sticks, or snuffle mats! Activities that keep your anxious dog occupied helps them focus on that instead of their stressor.
Use a sound machine. A white noise can relax dogs and weaken the loud sounds from outside.
Give your dog a quiet dark spot, like a crate or bathroom. Dogs like to have a den to cozy up in, which can be beneficial for stressed out dogs.
Conclusion – Finding the cause and solution for dogs with anxiety
Dogs can face anxiety, just as humans do. Working on a solution so our dogs can be calmer, happier dogs is important. The first step is always finding the cause, however. Once the cause of your dog’s anxiety, like separation or travel, is found, you and your vet can discuss the treatment plans mentioned in this article.

Low fat, low sugar orange chiffon cake
One of my favourite blogs to try recipes from is Do what I like. Almost every recipe that I’ve tried from there has been a winner. In my rampage for low fat cake recipes, I’ve tried her chiffon cake.
In my mind, the key to a successful chiffon is that it is still soft and moist the next day. This is a big problem with sponge cakes for me, as it becomes hard and chewy very quickly. Luckily, this one was still just as delicious the next day. I scaled her recipe to use 3 eggs in a 9″ tube pan because I didn’t want to waste too many ingredients if it failed. But it worked and rose beautifully. The taste is just right for me, not too sweet. I think that I may try to cut the sugar back just a bit more. And I may want to play around, substituting strawberry puree for orange juice.
Look at the fine texture. Small crumbs, and not many big holes.
Fresh Orange Juice Chiffon Cake
(Adapted from Do what I like)
72g Cake Flour
1/2 tsp Baking powder
4 tbsp Warm orange juice (I used freshly squeezed and strained orange juice, and put it in hot water bath)
Zest of 1 large orange
3 egg yolks + 16g castor sugar + Salt 1/8 tsp
3 egg whites + 30g castor sugar + 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
2 tbsp Corn oil
1/2 tsp Vanilla essence
1. Sieve flour and baking powder 3 times.
2. Use machine to whisk egg yolk until creamy and light in colour.
Add in corn oil then warm orange juice and vanilla
3. Add in flour mixture into yolk mixture lightly. Add in orange zest.
4. Beat egg white with electric beater until big bubbles formed.
Sprinkle in cream of tartar and beat until it is white in colour.
Add in sugar gradually and beat until stiff perks
formed. About 5 minutes for 250w egg beater.
5. Pour 1/2 egg white into flour mixture in (3) and blend well.
6. Pour flour mixture into the rest of the egg white and blend well.
7. Bake at 175C for 45 minutes or until cooked.
8. Invert the cooked cake during cooling process. Place it far from a surface so that the top doesn’t become sticky.
