Truck accidents can result in serious injuries to victims
On behalf of Kambur Law Firm, APLC posted in Truck Accidents on Friday, July 28, 2017.
Truck accidents are serious accidents that can cause catastrophic injuries and death to victims. Serious injuries that can result from truck accidents can include brain injuries and spinal cord and back injuries. Because of the size disparity of semi-trucks compared to passenger vehicles they share the roadways with, victims of truck accidents hit in a passenger vehicle are more likely to sustain serious injuries than in some other types of accidents.
Victims of truck accidents may have their lives turned upside down by brain injuries, spinal cord and back injuries, broken bone injuries or soft tissue injuries all sustained in a truck accident. Victims may be left unable to work as they receive medical expenses to treat their injuries that may begin to pile up. As a result, personal injury legal options are available to help victims of truck accidents recover compensation for medical expenses, lost ages and pain and suffering damages.
Depending on the circumstances, and the relationship between the parties, both the truck driver and trucking company may be liable to compensate the victim for the harm they have suffered. Truck drivers and trucking companies may be considered negligent if the trucking company did not provide adequate training to the truck driver, the truck was not adequately maintained or the truck driver did not adhere to traffic laws.
When a truck driver or trucking company has been negligent, and a victim was injured as a result, victims and their families have important legal rights and protections to be familiar with. It is helpful for victims to be familiar with the legal resources available to them so they can focus on the recovery process following a truck accident.

Tooth loss can cause the jaw bone to diminish because the root of a natural tooth must be present to stimulate the bone and keep it healthy. Other causes of bone loss can be inadequate bone structure due to previous extractions, gum disease, or injuries. Regardless of the cause, bone loss can make the successful placement of dental implants difficult or impossible. Fortunately, advancements in medical science have allowed us the ability to grow bone where it is needed, which has opened the option of dental implants to more patients. The bone utilized in bone grafting techniques for oral surgery can be obtained from a tissue bank, or your own bone is taken from another part of your body. If you are having dental implants placed and are suffering from bone loss in your jaw, you may be a candidate for having bone tissue grafted into the implant area to ensure stable and permanent placement.
Our Abbotsford, BC, practice is proud to offer the full scope of oral surgery procedures, including various bone grafting procedures. While many patients find they require a bone grafting procedure for the successful placement of dental implants, bone grafts can also be used in the treatment of other oral and maxillofacial conditions that we address at Abbotsford Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Centre.
Bone grafting is a common first step for dental implant patients. In bone grafting procedures, a solution of granulated bone material or other healing agents will be applied in the areas of your jaw that need to be reinforced, stimulating new, healthy bone growth at the site of future dental implant placement. At Abbotsford Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Centre, we perform several types of bone grafting treatments to meet the individual needs of our patients. We also offer soft tissue grafting to treat periodontal disease and gum recession and to help stop bone loss and further recession of the gums.
Ridge Augmentation. The alveolar ridge bone is the bone that surrounds and supports the teeth. If this bone is not healthy or dense enough to support dental implants, Dr. Esmail may recommend a ridge augmentation. During ridge augmentation, the alveolar ridge is surgically split, and bone graft material is placed to stimulate bone growth.
Sinus Lift. If there is not enough bone present between the upper jaw and the sinus cavity for successful dental implant placement, your oral surgeon may recommend a sinus lift procedure. For this procedure, a bone graft is placed in the jaw below the sinus membrane. This graft integrates over several months to create a more solid foundation for an implant.
Socket preservation. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons can perform a special bone grafting procedure called socket preservation that protects the area of the jaw where a dental implant will eventually be placed. This procedure minimizes the bone loss that occurs after an extraction. To complete a socket preservation procedure, after the tooth has been extracted, your oral surgeon fills the tooth socket with bone grafting material. When the grafted site has healed, a dental implant is placed to restore the missing tooth. Sometimes your surgeon will place the dental implant at the same time the graft is placed, allowing you to enjoy your new smile faster.
Soft Tissue Grafting. If a patient is suffering from periodontal disease and gum recession, a soft tissue graft may be recommended so that the gum line is uniform around a dental implant for a more natural appearance. For this procedure, soft tissue grafts (small pieces of oral tissue harvested from other areas of the mouth) will be surgically implanted in the affected area. There are more than just aesthetic improvements from this procedure. Soft tissue grafts can help stop bone loss and additional recession of the gums and can reduce root sensitivity.
Nerve Repositioning. The nerve that gives feeling to the lower lip and chin is called the inferior alveolar nerve. If this nerve is susceptible to damage during a dental implant procedure, the nerve must be accessed through the jaw bone and then repositioned. Bone grafting material is added to the area after a nerve repositioning procedure. Nerve repositioning carries some risk as there is almost always some numbness of the lower lip and jaw area after the surgery. This typically dissipates, but it may be permanent. Most of the time, other options are considered first. Nerve repositioning surgeries are performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia.
Bone grafting can repair implant sites with inadequate bone structure so that more patients can restore their smile with dental implants — and once the restoration site has healed, the new dental implant will help maintain the jaw bone over time. Because each bone grafting option has its own risks and benefits, Dr. Esmail will evaluate your case with extreme care to determine which type of bone grafting technique is best suited to your needs. Dr. Esmail is extensively trained to provide the full scope of bone grafting procedures to ensure that your replacement tooth or teeth will look, feel, and function just like natural, healthy teeth.
Sometimes, bone grafting techniques utilize synthetic materials as a substitute for real bone, which eliminates the need to source bone from other graft sites on your body or use banked bone. These materials are safe and proven alternatives and include bone morphogenetic proteins, or BMPs, which we use in our practice. BMPs are proteins that are naturally produced in the body for creating new cartilage and bone. This material can be used to increase the jaw bone support required for durable dental implant placement. During BMP treatment, a protein solution is added to a sponge-like material that is placed over the area of bone in need of treatment to stimulate and support bone growth. After the new bone has finished growing into the graft area, your jaw bone will be ready to support your new dental implant.
Bone grafting can offer a stable foundation of healthy bone for the long-term stability of your dental implants. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please contact Abbotsford Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Centre. Dr. Esmail will be happy to discuss your bone grafting options with you during your consultation and will develop a treatment plan for you based on your unique needs.


October 20, 2017 by Ecommerce News. About Cross-border with tags Switzerland. 9840 views.
Switzerland is a very interesting market for online retailers looking to expand their ecommerce business. It's an wealthy and online savvy market, while Swiss consumers love to buy from international online stores. But there are many things you should know when you want to export to Switzerland.
For eight years in a row, the World Economic Forum has named Switzerland as the most competitive economy in the world. And the local government and logistics partners are really embracing the ecommerce industry, which means selling into the Swiss ecommerce market has never been easier. And that's why Asendia, a joint venture of La Poste and Swiss Post, published a guide to help online retailers with exporting to Switzerland.
Buying cross-border is a common thing to do for Swiss consumers, which are doing this more and more every year. Last year, the total value of cross-border purchases was around 1.22 billion euros, an increase of 18 percent compared to the year before.
Aside from that, 75 percent of Swiss use smartphones, while the country is known for its solid infrastructure and high speed internet. Looks like a great market to expand to. But there's a downside to all of this: Switzerland is also known for its special customs clearance and import tax requirements.
According to Asendia's guide, there are some things retailers should be aware of when exporting to Switzerland. For example, you should focus on quality and price. In Switzerland, there is already a lot of choice, to foreign online retailers need to cater to the Swiss desire for value-based quality if they want to compete with current players. It's also important to talk the right language. Swiss consumers speak English, but you should definitely also provide information in German, French and Italian.
Swiss cross-border shoppers are used to paying for delivery costs, commonly between 6 and 8 Swiss francs (€5-7). But more and more, offering free delivery isn't just limited to domestic purchases. Many distance sellers drop the shipping cost for orders above 100 Swiss francs.
For ecommerce in Switzerland, returns are also an important topic. In the landlocked country, there is no legal right to return a purchase, but consumers expect to be able to. Online retailers normally allow consumers to return their products within 14 days after purchase. Return rates can be high, but consumers are used to paying for their returns. But as big brands are now offering free return services, Swiss shoppers are getting more used to no or low returns costs, especially when it comes to fashion purchases. Having a local Swiss return address is an absolute must.
What's also interesting about ecommerce in Switzerland, is the fact there are no specific regulations for companies selling online into Switzerland. And online retailers are subject to the same rules as local offline retailers. Still, ecommerce companies have to know some rules, like, for example, electronics require a Swiss approval mark and a manual in the language of the customer. And restricted goods, such as medicines or wine, can also require some extra regulations.
Another interesting fact from Asendia's guide is that Switzerland is the only country in the world besides Australia that levies weight based duties. So for example, sports shoes have a duty rate of 206 Swiss francs per 100 kilogram, while a cotton dress has a duty rate of 171 Swiss francs per 100 kilogram.

Red: A reckless angry sandbag that so desperately wants to get revenge on the smash crew for killing his father in Home Run Contest, but can't because he has no limbs.
Blue: Unlike his brother, he is a very calm sandbag that just accepts that he gets beat up all the time. He has been going through depression ever since his dad died in Home Run Contest.
With Jack H. using Brawl's Sandbag, it annoyed me that the camera would still try to lock on to Sandbag. So i made my own version using Project M's Sandbag as it's base, so now the camera will not try to find Sandbag, letting you battle with no camera being so far out when you battle. the biggest difference from Jack H.'s version and mine is instead of him being 1000m high he's 100000m, so good luck finding him (kudos to you if you can find him), only real big thing, is at the start of a match there'll be a puff of smoke from him \"landing\" but it effects nothing. also comes with the wait animation for if you want to include it on your own sandbag. takes him out of all training room stages and home run contest.
Smash 3C's own Sandbag has arrived! Perfect for CD factories and sticker farming (people still do that, right?) Fair warning: it disagrees with current rimlighting techniques, so no new shaders or materials have been implemented. Let's party!
Time Bomb Nobody, Kingdom Hearts 2 import.
Live WTF moments with your friends when this creepy rabbit from Silent Hill appears in the stage.
Now you can have a real reason to punch Sandbag. Shiina "Misha" Mikado from Katawa Shoujo now adorns sandbag with this texture hack. But that's not all, the hack also comes with a sound mod that makes the sandbag go "Wahaha" when hit. Requires the replacement sound engine to use the sound mod.
Download comes with the source images and .Wav file. So you can edit the hack in anyway you want.
Why has nobody done this yet?
Being bored and playing too much Flappy Bird recently got me into making this... I don't know what else to say but... Smash away! >:D Enjoy!
Sorry that I haven't been posting hacks. Been busy downloading other user's hacks ^_^ .
Anyways, this is Sandbag Game and Watch Styled. Have Fun with this hack.
Goes in your common3.pac file.
Super quick half-assed import? Wynaut.
A tantalizing tower of tater.
Download contains brres file and battle portrait. Enjoy!
While one of the frames displays a renaming, I have accidentally forgotten to add that to the download file. My mistake!

In a unique decision, the district court of The Hague has ordered the Dutch government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25% in 2020 compared to 1990. Current ambitions of the Dutch government amount to a reduction of around 17%. The case was brought by Dutch NGO Urgenda and nine hundred co-plaintiffs.
This is the first time that a judge has ordered a State to take measures against climate change, says Urgenda. "This decision will provide support to all other climates case around the world." In Norway and Belgium similar cases have been brought.
The court decisions has raised some controversy in the Netherlands. Critics say that the Dutch government has not broken any rules or laws, so the ruling can only be construed as a political decision. It is not known yet whether the Dutch government will appeal the decision.

Will Arm Finally Make Inroads into Data Center in 2020?
Article By : Sally Ward-Foxton
Certainly, the timing is right from a technology perspective, but Arm's success in this market depends on more than its customers' ability to meet hyperscalers' stringent demands...
A recent high-profile product launch has pushed the concept of using Arm-based CPUs in the data center back into the limelight. Ampere, a Silicon Valley startup that focuses exclusively on Arm-based CPUs for the data center, launched its Altra CPU. Built on up to 80 Arm Neoverse N1 cores, Altra consumes 210 W at peak workload.
Ampere's Altra chip, based on 80 Arm 64-bit CPU cores, is designed for performance, scalability, and power efficiency in cloud applications. (Image: Ampere)
Ampere designed the Altra specifically for hyperscalers that need CPUs for their cloud offerings (an earlier Ampere CPU, eMAG, is optimized for enterprise data-center applications, which have slightly different requirements). Ampere says the Altra delivers on power efficiency (performance per watt) as well as watts per core, allowing for denser racks and maximizing performance per rack.
"Ampere's Altra server processor news is more than just a milestone for Arm in the data center; it is a turning point for the industry in terms of what is possible in data-center computing," said Chris Bergey, senior vice president and general manager for Arm's infrastructure business, in a blog post. "Today's announcement demonstrates the power of building the right compute for the right applications. Ampere took the N1 platform and integrated its own innovations to design an SoC uniquely built for applications across hyperscale cloud and edge markets while bringing it to market quickly to address evolving compute requirements."

Bumpy journey
Let's not forget that the road to Arm in the data center has been peppered with potholes thus far. An early startup in the space, Calxeda, was working on a 120 quad-core Cortex-A9 design (480 cores total) but closed its doors at the end of 2013 amid criticism of its 32-bit architecture, which some said was unsuitable for servers. A partnership with Hewlett-Packard for enterprise servers failed to save the company.
Fast-forward to 2016. Broadcom had its own project in the works: a 64-bit multicore Arm architecture, codenamed Vulcan, for networking, storage, communications, big data, and security applications. But the effort was a casualty of Broadcom's acquisition that year by Avago. Then, at the end of 2018, Qualcomm abruptly shut down its Centriq division, which produced its line of Arm-based server chips.
Among those false starts, however, there is one notable success story: Amazon. The hyperscaler's 2015 acquisition of system-on-chip maker Annapurna Labs resulted in the Graviton chip — the most famous success story thus far for Arm in the data center. Given that Amazon is its own customer for this chip, it may not be the best indicator of the market for Arm in the data center. But the company has said that developing its own chips optimized its precarious price/performance balance. Specifically, according to Amazon, Graviton A1 instances reduced customer costs by 45% for scale-out workloads such as micro-services and web servers compared with general-purpose Intel Xeon EC2 instances.
Amazon renewed its commitment to Arm architectures with the launch of the Graviton 2 in December 2019. This chip boosted performance to 7× that of its predecessor, with 4× the number of cores. Significantly, Amazon put the Graviton 2 into its Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, which are intended for high-intensity workloads, such as high-performance computing and application servers; previously, those instances were based on Intel Xeon. The shift signaled Amazon's belief in Arm's vision of diverse CPU architectures (heterogeneous computing) for even the most intense workloads in the cloud.
Amazon's vote of confidence with the launch of Graviton 2 in December, plus the Ampere launch this month, has given Arm's cause a bit of momentum. So will 2020 be the year that Arm finally makes serious inroads into the data center? Certainly, the timing is right from a technology perspective; power efficiency demands have never been stronger, for example, and may dictate a different approach than scaling up existing CPUs. The need for heterogeneous compute to process workloads such as AI also supports Arm's case; we are seeing specialized accelerators such as GPUs, FPGAs, and even some ASICs getting more traction.
Arm's success in this market, however, depends on more than its customers' ability to meet hyperscalers' stringent demands for performance, power efficiency, and price. It also depends on whether those customers can grab any market share from Intel's dominant Xeon platform. And Arm isn't the only other option here: AMD and Nvidia are also in the fray. So while we may be seeing a few rays of hope, it's not quite the light at the end of the tunnel for Arm's infrastructure business — at least not yet.

"Growing in the Mission". Henrietta Kelemen, Narthex Exhibition, September 1 to 11, 2017
by Gerard Lewis
This exhibition of 22 photographs featuring members of the L'Arche Ottawa community is the fruit of a formation program Henrietta Kelemen undertook in 2016-2017 called "Growing in the Mission". Participants spent intentional time reflecting on the Mission of L'Arche, their personal mission in life and the intersection of the two. In response to the challenge of "announcing" the gift of L'Arche to the wider community, she chose to capture a different facet of community life in her photography. Henrietta sees the phrases that appear beneath the photographs as describing the essence of the Mission of L'Arche becoming a reality, as L'Arche members transform each other in the mutuality of community life, sharing their gifts with each other. Henrietta Kelemen occupies the position of Community Life and Volunteer Coordinator with L'Arche Ottawa. Meet Henrietta and members of L'Arche Ottawa in the Narthex over coffee following the 10 am Mass on Sunday, September 3.
L'Arche Ottawa Celebrates its 45th Anniversary
On Saturday, September 9th, from 3 to 5 pm, the L'Arche Ottawa community will celebrate its 45th anniversary in St. Basil's Parish Hall. Parishioners of St. Basil's are invited! Join friends and family of core members and assistants, founders and community supporters as we reflect on the shared journey that took physical root in September 1972 at St. Basil's parish. Were you aware that the second L'Arche community in North American began in the former Basilian Fathers residence on Broadview? "Alleluia House" contributed to the momentum that led to the creation of L'Arche communities across Canada and worldwide. St. Basil's parishioners were the first to welcome community members into their spiritual family. The core members and assistants of L'Arche Ottawa residing in 6 homes, 5 of which are within walking distance of St. Basil's parish, look forward to receiving parishioners. The reception starts at 3 pm, and concludes with the celebration of the Eucharist at the regular 5:00 pm Mass. This event is one of the highlights in the L'Arche Ottawa calendar year.

Home REITs Euro Hits Dollar Parity; Where Does It Go From Here? Check the Chart.
Euro Hits Dollar Parity; Where Does It Go From Here? Check the Chart.
The euro and dollar were trading at par on Tuesday morning, meaning that 1 dollar equals 1 euro.
This is the first time the pair has traded at par since 2002, making it another example of how crazy various markets have been so far in 2022.
The euro has lost about 11 percent of its value against the dollar this year, and about 15 percent over the past 12 months. From its 2008 high, it is down 37.6% against the dollar.
Stocks, bonds, commodities, cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies have been volatile this year, in fact, since the start of the covid-19 pandemic more than two years ago.
The dollar's strength comes as Europe tries to avoid a recession and faces a more dire energy crisis than the United States.
Also, the Fed's monetary policy is more aggressive than the European Central Bank, as it aggressively raises interest rates and shrinks its balance sheet.
Aside from potential discounts for Americans traveling abroad in Europe, now that equality has been achieved, what happens from here?
What happens when EUR/USD parity?
EUR/USD monthly chart.
Chart courtesy of TradingView.com
The euro has fallen against the dollar in 11 of the past 14 months, with a one-month gain of just 0.09%. It's been a tough journey.
The 1.05 to 1.06 area has been very strong support since 2015. That level prevented the euro from almost free fall in early 2015, after the euro fell nearly 24% for nine straight months.
That level is now failing to act as support as EUR/USD touched 1 this morning. From here, the 78.6% retracement – the last meaningful retracement spanning the euro's entire trading range on the chart – fell to 0.99.
Investors must acknowledge that the trend is down. The question becomes: does the euro find support around current levels?
Of course it can, although at the moment it faces a number of negative catalysts, including: the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, the Fed continuing to raise interest rates and the ECB's ability to boost the euro is "quite limited".
On the downside, I'm looking at 0.99, but below that, 0.95 is something to watch. This is a 161.8% downside extension of the current range.
Below that and below 0.9 could be a talking point – although things in Europe would have to really get worse for that to happen.
On the upside, investors must view the 1.05 to 1.06 area as possible resistance, followed by the declining 10-month moving average. The first area is a former support level that may now turn into resistance, and the 10-month moving average has been active resistance.
Both of the above can work with 1.1+.

The EnGenius Neutron Series can provide your business a low cost, 802.11ac high speed, easy to deploy Managed Wireless Network. This blog will show you how to configure and manage an EnGenius Neutron Series 802.11ac Wireless Indoor Access Point (EWS360AP) from a EWS5912FP Gigabit Ethernet POE Switch in just a few simple steps. This blog will be the first of a series which we will build on with more advanced configurations (VLANs, Band Steering, Multi-Site management with EZMaster and more).
We will start with a basic MikroTik Router configuration (VLAN configuration will be covered in the next blog), Start by connecting ethernet port 1 to you uplink router / ISP and connect your computer to ethernet port 2.
Connect an Ethernet Cable from port 3 on the Router (MikroTik) to port 10 on the EnGenius EWS5912FP Switch and power the switch on.
Connect the EnGenius EWS360AP to ethernet port 1 - the AP should power automatically and receive an ip address from the DHCP server.
Before we can upgrade the firmware on the switch we first need to ensure it can access the internet to retrieve the latest firmware update. Our Gateway Router IP Address (MikroTik) is 192.168.0.1 and is receiving DNS requests so we can point the switches Gateway and DNS address to our Router.
Navigate to the "One Click Update" page (Notification at the top of page or Controller > Maintenance > One-click Update > Update List) and then click "Check for Updates". Now click "Update" this process should take approximately 3-5 mins depending on your internet connection.
We will now add our access point to the controller for provisioning "Controller > Access Points > Add". We will leave the Access Point IP Settings on auto (DHCP), you can set a static IP Address if you wish provided you ensure it can access the internet for firmware update in the next step.
You may be prompted that your Access Point firmware is out of date, if this is the case the EWS controller should automatically redirect you to the upgrade page.
Now that our access point and switch are online (connected) and up to date, we will create an AP Cluster. An AP Cluster is a group consisting of Access Points and common settings (SSID, Security Key, Radio Settings). Each member (Access Point) of the AP Cluster is automatically provisioned with the settings configured in the AP Cluster Configuration.
Navigate to Controller > AP Clusters > Add and create your first cluster.
Member Setting: Move your Access Points you wish to use this Cluster into the Cluster Member).
Country: For simplicity use USA, New Zealand country code allows the use of channel 12 an 13 on 2.4GHz which some devices do not work with - this can cause you a lot of wasted time when using Auto Channel Select.
Security: You should use WPA2-PSK with AES Encryption only and use a secure password.
Now that we have created our first AP Cluster and added our Access Point we want to check that the Access Point has been provisioned with the Cluster configuration.
Navigate to Controller > Access Points and verify that the Access Point is in a "Provisioning" state.
Once the Status changes to "Online" your Access Point is ready to start serving clients!


Spinach has a bad reputation – but it's full of goodness, and forms the basis of some truly delicious recipes. Cooked, drained and chopped, it can be added to almost anything, from curries to stews and pasties. Here are our favourite recipes for spinach.
Spinach is not the first ingredient you'd think of making into a classy canapé. But in Lebanese cookery, spinach is used in a number of mezze recipes, from miniature pizza flatbreads to these little puffs. This is our adaptation of a Claudia Roden recipe, and it's perfect party food. Why not make some extra to put in the freezer for unexpected guests?
First cook the spinach. Pack the washed leaves into a large saucepan and put on the lid, then put over a gentle heat. Check after a minute and turn the leaves over so they wilt evenly. After 3-5 minutes the spinach will be thoroughly wilted. Tip it into a sieve over the sink and press with a spoon to extract as much liquid as you can. Put the spinach on a board and chop finely.
In the same saucepan, heat the olive oil and soften the onion and garlic gently, until translucent. Add the pine nuts and stir until they are toasted. Take the pan off the heat, and stir in the spinach, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
On a floured board, roll out the puff pastry and cut out 10cm circles. Put a teaspoon of filling onto each one and fold over. Prepare all of the puffs in this way.
At this point, you can freeze the puffs (providing your pastry was not pre-frozen) or bake them. If baking, beat the egg and put it into one shallow dish, and put the grated parmesan into another shallow dish. Dip each (thawed) puff first into egg and then into parmesan, and put onto a baking tray. Bake at 200 degrees C for 15-20 minutes, until golden. Serve warm (not hot).
You'll find spinach features in lots of Indian recipes. Panch Phoran is a mixture of seeds: nigella, mustard, cumin, fenugreek and fennel. You can buy it ready-mixed (try a specialist spice shop) or make your own from storecupboard spices. This Bengali spice mixture is used in vegetable side dishes like this spinach and potato accompaniment, which works well with a rich and saucy lamb dopiaza.
First wilt the spinach, as detailed in the recipe above. Drain it into a sieve and press out all remaining liquid. Put the diced potato into the cleaned-out saucepan with the turmeric, salt, and enough water to just cover. Simmer for 6-7 minutes, or until the potato pieces are just tender. Drain off the water. Add the oil and butter to the pan with the potatoes, and heat gently until sizzling. Add the Panch Phoran and continue to fry the potato pieces until browned.
Add the coconut milk and pinch of sugar to the potatoes and simmer gently until the milk has reduced greatly. Stir in the spinach and the lemon juice. Warm through and taste for seasoning – you may wish to add more lemon juice, salt or pepper. Serve sprinkled with chopped coriander.


Most buyers, dealers, and financial institutions, use some sort of vehicle pricing guide to determine the value of a vehicle. The most popular is the NADA Official Used Car Guide, or similar publications like Edmonds, Kelly's Blue Book, Black Book, etc..
These buying guides (and web sites) normally contain the market's retail, wholesale, and loan values for used vehicles. These prices are based on the current used car sales in a specific region of the country and include additions and/or deductions for equipment packages and for low or excessive mileage.
The major flaw of these publications is that there is no deductions for existing mechanical problems and deductions if the vehicle has been in an accident. These publications can not distinguish between two identical vehicles, one well-maintained vehicle, and one with existing mechanical and/or structural problems. The difference between these two cars can be hundreds to thousands of dollars in value.
Many of these publications instruct you to "Deduct for Reconditioning", but give no instructions how to calculate these deductions. A professional inspection from an ASE Master Technician should give you the dollar amount for any repairs or needed maintenance items. Buyers should take that amount and subtract it from the published book value. This will give the buyer the true value of the vehicle. The Technician should let you know if the vehicle was abused or well maintained. This also affects the price of the vehicle.
Don't decide by looks alone - every used car should be clean and good looking. However, an Auto P. I. inspection will determine existing problems such as previous accident damage, odometer discrepancies, needed mechanical repairs and maintenance items, prior shoddy repairs, misuse and abuse, etc.. Once you purchase, these problems can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars to fix. Why buy a vehicle for more than its true value. Without a professional inspection, you could be buying someone else's problem vehicle.


Jason Moser is a senior analyst with The Motley Fool. He's also been known to fire off a Tweet or ten about almost anything at @TMFJMo.

You'll also see or hear him offering up his two cents in various media outlets around the country, particularly during earnings season.
Born and raised in Charleston, SC Jason learned about investing (and golf) at a young age thanks to his father which ultimately led him to study economics at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC. After graduating in 1995 he pursued a life of golf as a PGA club professional in South Carolina and Maryland for seven years before deciding to transition into work as a loan officer with Bank of America. Thanks to his wife's job with the State Department, the couple then spent five years abroad working at the US embassies in Cairo, Egypt and Astana, Kazakhstan, and it was one fateful day in Kazakhstan where Jason first discovered The Motley Fool; he knew immediately he was hooked. Once back in the states at their home in Georgia Jason worked with Travelers Insurance before landing his dream job with The Fool almost six years ago and he and his wife and two daughters moved up to Fairfax, Virginia where they reside today.

PacificSD: How did you get started making juice?
LINDSAY NADER: I was raised by two very health-conscious parents, so I always incorporated healthy habits into my life. Working the majority of my twenties in the liquor industry, I felt compelled to promote the lifestyle even further. The schedules and demands of many professionals in my field include late nights and more drinking than one would like, leading me to notice that more and more beverage professionals were looking for tools to build a more balanced day-to-day life. I knew I was good at combining flavor from years of experience with cocktails and I had also messed around for years with home-juicing. So, I went for it. I was introduced to the gents at CH Projects, who were also looking to open a juice bar, and, luckily for me, it was a good match.
How would you describe Juice Saves?
Juice Saves is a 100-percent-organic, raw, vegan, cold-pressed juice bar. The menu includes our amazing root, fruit, citrus and green juices, which are cold-pressed and have a nutritional fridge-life of three to four days. We make them fresh every day and fill up our grab-and-go fridge with two sizes: 12-ounce and 16-ounce. Juice Saves is so much more than just cold-pressed juice. Everything we make in-house is organic, raw and vegan, including our amazing blended drinks, many of which include a creamy housemade almond milk base. These blended drinks are protein-rich and a great snack or meal replacement. We also serve vegan snacks and grab-and-go salads, but our most popular, by far, are the morning bowls, including a classic açai bowl, as well as other bases like pitaya and dragon fruit, all topped with granola and fresh organic fruit. We also have cleanses, which are perfect for breaking up or ending the holiday season.
What's your favorite Juice Saves juice?
I love the Mighty Healthy with kale, Swiss chard, cucumber, celery, parsley, lemon and ginger. It's very low in sugar, the ginger wakes up my digestion and the lemons have an alkalizing property. It's really refreshing, despite being super green-forward.
Which are Juice Saves' most popular drinks?
Aloe Vera Wang is an all-time fave, with watermelon, cucumber, coconut water, mint tea and aloe vera juice. It's pale pink and gorgeous to look at, so you are drinking with your eyes already. Plus, it's our most hydrating drink, so it quenches thirst, cures a hangover and has a beautiful, crisp sweetness that even children will enjoy.
What are the biggest benefits to juice cleanses?
A juice cleanse can be beneficial for anyone. It's like hitting a reset button for your body and mind. Although cleanses have a lot of physical benefits like resetting digestive health and breaking bad eating habits, I encourage our customers to really take time out from work and stress when cleansing to experience the mental and emotional benefits, as well.
What's the best cleanse for detoxing after an indulgent holiday season?
I would recommend our new Refresh Cleanse, which is easily digestible, not too challenging as far as green-heavy juices and includes a protein-rich and satiating almond milk drink called Stay Golden. It goes above and beyond just the benefits of plain almond milk to include ginger and turmeric.
Can you share a story about how your juices have helped others?
I recently received a message from a woman planning to visit S.D. from another state. She wrote to us saying she is treating cancer with Gerson Therapy, a method I have been aware of for many years. She asked if we could work with her on bespoke organic juices while she was in town to make sure she was getting the nutrition she needed. It was really rewarding and touching to be able to help someone battle a disease as serious as cancer.
