Absolutely! 8th year and running! We can hardly believe it, too.
My company wants to sponsor. Is that possible?
Yes! We're currently accepting sponsorships for On the River. We have a variety of sponsorship options – send an email to contact@ontheriverfest.com and someone will get in touch with you soon. Oh yeah… thanks!
Can I volunteer to help out at this event?
Of course! We have some volunteer positions available for responsible, hard-working individuals. Those positions include marketing, ticketing, set-up, decorations, logistics, clean-up and tear-down. Let us know what your availability is by filling out the form located at the volunteer section.
On the River is the culmination of a conversation between a couple guys who wanted to host an outdoor summer bash for their friends. The Steering Committee has teamed up with the Young Professionals Against Poverty to benefit the South Bend Center for the Homeless. This event would not be possible without the support of many family, friends, acquaintances, colleagues and businesses.
Probably somewhere in the ballpark of 1,500 – 3,000 people each day. So invite some friends and add to that number!
Can I bring my own food/beverage/cooler?
Nope. Check out the festivities page for more info on food and drink… we'll have plenty of stuff for you at the event!
Can I bring beach toys, frisbees, volleyballs, etc?
That sounds like fun! Once again, please just keep track of your own stuff and PLEASE watch out for others.
Can I bring blankets, towels, chairs, umbrellas?
Sure! Why not?!?! Please just watch out for your own stuff and watch out for others… don't put your big ol' chair or umbrella in front of those who want to see the stage! On the River is not responsible for lost or stolen items. So be careful!
Will there be any shade out there?
What's appropriate attire for this thing?
Well, first and foremost, we do suggest sandals... practically the entire event is on sand. We also think you should dress for the heat… summer clothes. Other than that, break out your Hawaiian shirts, your tropical dress and your beach hat. You get the drift. If so inclined, guys are welcome to be shirtless and gals may wear bikini tops. We don't really want to see any thongs or speedos though – sorry!
Then it's a beach party in the rain! On the River will be held rain or shine. The stage is covered so the bands will still play. There is also a big tent that'll accommodate those of you who don't like to sing in the rain.
What ages can come to Teen Night?
Well, this event is designed for teenagers...hence the name! But all ages can come and hang out.
Does everyone have to be at least 21 to enter?
Yes and No. So we'll try to spell it out as easily as possible.
NO: Friday, August 7 from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. is considered Teen Night and all ages can come out and enjoy the festivities of On the River.
NO: Saturday, August 8 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. is considered Family Day with family-oriented activities. So all ages are again welcome.
YES: Saturday, August 8 any time after 3:00 p.m., yes… EVERYONE must be 21. We're sorry! Saturday evening is a 21 and over event so get a babysitter and come have a blast!
Is the party area really made up of sand?
Yep! The whole place will be made up of sand… it's basically the beach on the river. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,000 tons of sand will be onsite. We suggest wearing sandals. The food/beverage service area will be on pavement (at least to start out) as will the stage. And we'll try to keep sand out of the port-a-potties!
What time does this event start/end?
Friday, August 7 — 5:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. (Teen Night) with last call for food and beverages at 10:30PM. Saturday, August 8 — 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (Family Day). Saturday, August 8 — 3:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. (21+ Bash*) with last call for food and beverages at 10:30PM. *The volleyball tournament begins at 3:30 p.m.
The Commerce Center parking lot which is right across the street from the event (between Colfax and LaSalle) is fair game and it's free! Additionally, you may park in any non-private parking lot or legal street parking anywhere in downtown South Bend. Onsite handicap parking is available.
Where exactly is this event located?
On a little ol' spot where Colfax Avenue and the St. Joseph River meet in Downtown South Bend. If you need an actual address for your GPS, you can punch in 320 E. Colfax Ave. South Bend, IN 46617. We're just to the east of the St. Joe River and south of the Commerce Center. Some of you who have been around town for awhile know this site as the former location of The Wharf Restaurant.
What will the security be like?
There will be plenty of security during all three portions of the event. Parents can rest assured that we're creating a safe environment for your teen on Teen Night. Several protocols such as bag checks and the no alcohol/tobacco policy will be accompanied by police officers, the Red Cross, and several dozen security staffers will be on hand to ensure an enjoyable time for all.
Of course they will. Not only do we have an entire staff dedicated to security and keeping our patrons safe, but South Bend Police Department officers will be there, as well.
No refunds… sorry! We don't really see why anyone would need a refund… maybe this shouldn't even be a frequently asked question. Plus, all the money goes to a could cause anyways.
Can someone buy a ticket I purchased?
If you physically have a ticket in hand, sure, go ahead and give it to somebody else. If you purchased the ticket online, please email contact@ontheriverfest.com -- describe your problem and we'll find a solution!

The Federal Government has hinted on new moves to introduce censorship laws and regulatory framework for Over-The-Top (OTT) streaming services and content providers in Nigeria.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed in a two-day conference organized by the NFVCB in Lagos, shared that streaming services could be used as a medium to "cause chaos" and undermine the country's democratic processes hence the need for regulation.
Represented by Comfort Ajiboye, Director, Information and Technology in the ministry, Mohammed stressed that the increased demand for streaming services in Nigeria grew amid the pandemic.
In his opening address, the NFVCB director Adedayo Thomas said that the conference was in a bid to bring together stakeholders in a conversation with the goal of creating policies and regulations for streaming service in the country.
"With over 50 per cent internet penetration, it has become imperative to convene this conference to bring together stakeholders and legislators in a conversation so as to come up with crystal policies on the regulation of streamers and content providers," Thomas said.
While reiterating the board's promise to not stifle creativity, Thomas defended the government's new approach by stating that streaming service providers were unable to self-regulate hence the need for regulatory policies.
"The goal of regulation is not to stifle creativity but to create sanity and encourage healthy competition for socio-economic gains," he added.
The FG's latest move follows the controversial ban of social media platform, Twitter.

Natural Impulse is the third album release by the modern jazz trio Scolari/Cavalca/Scolari. The project comes back with a new musical journey where experimentation finds no limits in a unique blend of acoustic and electronic sounds.
Marty's review: Natural Impulse is an adventurous and unique production in that in combines contemporary jazz themes with electronic programming to create a soundscape that is instantly recognizable as modern jazz yet it takes the listener further into a realm of discovery. The multiple talents of all players involved build structures of music that may sound complex at first but actually ebb and flow together in a cohesiveness that is focused, clever and bold. It's an album that one could "get lost in" and indulge in its richness and dynamism.

Model Consumers
Natalie Shure
Obamacare tried to fix the health system one consumer choice at a time. No wonder it failed.
When GOP lawmakers pushed their tax bill through Congress late last year, they made sure to include a long-standing item on their wish list: an end to the Affordable Care Act's "individual mandate" penalty, which charged tax filers a fee for not having health insurance.
The penalty was part of the ACA's "three-legged stool." The law forced insurers to meet coverage minimums and prohibited them from discriminating on the basis of preexisting conditions, opening up the individual insurance market to millions who had been all but barred from it. The bill compelled every American to sign up for coverage, thereby creating a pool of both sick and healthy people and spreading risk among as large a population as possible. And it set up subsidies to defray premium costs for low- and middle-income enrollees, making the mandate less burdensome.
Many Democrats worried that killing off the mandate penalty would undermine Obamacare, allowing too many healthy people to leave the market, thereby making the insurance pool more expensive to cover. The policy architect of Obamacare penned an op-ed in Fortune portraying the mandate as a linchpin of the law.
Republicans, meanwhile, celebrated the law's demise. Rip out the mandate penalty, they reasoned, and the three-legged stool would start wobbling. Donald Trump went so far as to claim the end of the provision amounted to a repeal of the ACA.
Although they were on opposing sides, liberal supporters and conservative detractors shared a common premise: each framed the purchase of health insurance as a rational choice over which individuals enjoy full agency, and built their policy prescriptions atop that assumption.
From the conservative point of view, some people simply don't want health insurance — perhaps because they prefer iPhones or enjoy living on the edge — and their vulnerability to catastrophe is therefore of no societal concern. Liberals, on the other hand, agree that some people simply don't want insurance, but conclude that they ought to be whacked with a legislative stick until they do. "The goal," as Vox 's Matthew Yglesias put it after the tax bill passed, "should be to set a fine so high you have no fine revenue."
Obamacare's defenders invoke a hypothetical rich, young, healthy person who skips out on insurance because she feels immortal. Yet few lack coverage because they truly don't want access to health care — they lack it because they're financially struggling. Only 2 percent of uninsured people cite "don't need or want" as the reason they're not covered.
Similarly, there's little reason to believe that those who did gain coverage through the ACA marketplaces did so only because of the mandate. More likely is that they'd wanted insurance all along, and the ACA made it easier to obtain.
And yet this blinkered understanding — this urge to fix the health care system by tweaking individual incentives and optimizing consumer choices — is imprinted all over the ACA. Millions of dollars are spent on marketing to make sure people grasp the law. In-person outreach is used to encourage people to act responsibly enough to get covered. The result is supposed to be a system populated by rational, prudent consumers choosing from competing insurers in a smoothly flowing marketplace.
The actual experience of the average consumer is far different. Most sign up during "open enrollment" periods — year-round sign-ups could entice too many uninsured ill people with the potential to gum up insurers' actuarial calculations — and, after inputting proof of income, are greeted by an endless procession of metallic-colored plans, each of which comes with its own pricing scheme and menu of providers. That's the best-case scenario. In many places, the main problem isn't mind-numbing complexity, but an utter lack of competition: more than half of counties in the US only have a single insurer on the marketplace.
The lackluster state of the Obamacare framework hasn't prevented commentators from zeroing in on consumer decisions. This year, a combination of price volatility and increased subsidies made individual market premiums especially unpredictable, sparking a broad chorus of media commentators encouraging people to "shop around" for the best plan. Among them was the Nobel Prize–winning behavioral economist Richard Thaler, who treated New York Times readers' question — why do so many people choose the wrong health plans? — as if it had an obvious answer. Thaler drew on data from multiple studies that investigated how often people select a suboptimal health insurance package, including one study from the University of California at Berkeley that examined the decisions made by people tasked with choosing between forty-eight different options with a distinct combination of deductibles, co-pays, coinsurance, and maximum out-of-pocket costs.
Absent, of course, from Thaler's column was any suggestion that the reason people have trouble navigating the insurance market might be that the whole process is a byzantine hellscape. Sorting through dozens of insurance plan pricing structures would be a source of intense frustration for practically anyone, and the fact that research shows that people select poorly ought to indicate that maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't shove people through the process in the first place. Instead, Thaler, in his wonkish wisdom, suggested a simple fix: a high-deductible plan with comparatively lower premiums. This, he insisted, is the best choice for most "consumers," who often fail to pick such plans because of things like inertia, bad math, and deductible aversion.
Given the outsized emphasis on individual agency over systemic overhaul, it should come as little surprise that people have found themselves shouldering a growing share of health care costs. Just as the individual mandate strives to shove rich-but-risky scamps into the health insurance system, so too does cost-sharing strive to engineer more responsible consumers of care. Enter the deductible.
First introduced in 1921 for automobile insurance, the deductible — along with patient co-pays for doctors' visits and drug prescriptions — began cropping up in commercial health insurance plans in the 1940s. Cost-sharing techniques tended to boost insurers' bottom lines, and were often lauded for the same reason high-deductible plans earned Thaler's praise — they could minimize costs, so long as people didn't use any care.
Beginning in the 1970s, neoliberal health policy wonks started to see cost-sharing as a valuable tool to "bend the cost curve," as Barack Obama would later put it. The idea was that patients ought to have "skin in the game" — if you're not shelling out your own money, what's to stop you from getting stitches for a skinned knee, or rushing out to the doctor for sniffles? It's a notion that tracks with the primary tenets of the ACA — what, after all, is the individual mandate but a cudgel to convince semi-mythical patients (like the so-called "young immortals") to be more rational consumers?
As insurers struggle to maximize profits amid ACA rules preventing their most barbaric tricks (say, lifetime caps on payouts) they've ramped-up cost-sharing. Some 40 percent of Americans now hold a high-deductible plan. Their situation is far less rosy than the one Thaler may have envisioned: around 37 percent of them have foregone care due to high out-of-pocket costs, with little distinction between necessary and frivolous treatments. Smaller user fees like co-pays have an impact on lower-income patients, whose health outcomes deteriorate when charged even modest amounts at the point of use.
Cost-sharing has become so burdensome that the Commonwealth Fund estimates around one-quarter of American adults are underinsured — that is, they have insurance but can barely afford to use it. The prevalence of such shoddy insurance plans directly undercuts ACA supporters' praise that the law extended coverage to some 90 percent of Americans, millions of whom remain intensely vulnerable to financial ruin after a medical episode. Around 70 percent of those with medical debt had insurance at the time they incurred it — subjecting them to stress loads that may further harm their health.
The Commonwealth Fund estimates around one-quarter of American adults are underinsured — that is, they have insurance but can barely afford to use it.
While underinsurance is a particularly acute problem on the ACA exchanges, where the average deductible soared by 16 percent in 2016, cost-sharing has also risen in employer-based plans. This development has opened up still more ways to mold enrollees into more ideal users of health care: so-called "workplace wellness" programs allow bosses to push workers through hoops like online fitness modules to prove they deserve to pay default plan rates, while their less healthy or more time-strapped colleagues are saddled with higher premiums. Employers are also able to extract higher payments from employees who fail to take steps to quit smoking or lose weight. Given the constantly shifting costs from insurer to employer to employees themselves, many likely feel they have little choice but to follow orders and avoid higher rates. And for those whose deductibles are still too high, perhaps their workplace offers a "health savings account," or HSA — an untaxed nest egg to make it easier to save and pay for out-of-pocket health costs.
In short, macro-level failures can by conquered by individual prudence. Your insurance future is in your hands. These are fundamentally conservative ideas, which helps explain why, for instance, expanding HSAs is a central tenet of so many Republican reform proposals. It's also why many Republican-controlled states are currently pushing to make Medicaid benefits contingent on proof of outside work, or to increase cost-sharing for recipients well below the poverty line.
But it's hard to blame the idea of individual bootstrapping in health care solely on the GOP when Democrats so ardently praise the accessibility of bronze ACA plans, with their measly 60 percent actuarial values, or mourn tax penalties levied on people for failing to purchase insurance they couldn't even afford to use. In 2016, around twice as many Americans qualified for an exemption to the mandate penalty than were forced to pay it — just another indication of the sheer impossibility of including everyone in a system built one consumer choice at a time.
If the architects of the Affordable Care Act wanted a universal health care system, they never built the infrastructure to realize it. The law is an intricate web of incentives — geared toward individuals and the for-profit companies that guard society's theaters of life and death. In a genuinely universal system, everyone would be able to receive the treatment they need, divorced from financial burden or the stress of choosing between health care and school supplies. In the US, where policymakers focus on sculpting better consumers, risk is all most Americans can afford.

Rally lifts Badgers to win over Tar Heels
Wisconsin defeats North Carolina to advance to Elite Eight.
- Sam Dekker scored a career-high 23 points, Frank Kaminsky added 19 and top-seeded Wisconsin rallied in the final 10 minutes to hold off North Carolina, 79-72, last night and advance to the final eight of the NCAA Tournament.
Zak Showalter came off the bench to score six points in the Badgers' 19-7 comeback run that sent them into the West Regional final tomorrow against either No. 2 seed Arizona or sixth-seeded Xavier.
Brice Johnson and Justin Jackson scored 15 points each for the fourth-seeded Tar Heels (26-12), who got within one with 4:21 remaining but couldn't retake the lead they owned for much of the second half.
"The toughness that they showed today was really something," Carolina coach Roy Williams said of Wisconsin. "It's strange, the difference between winning and losing is so small."
Marcus Paige hit consecutive three-pointers that drew Carolina within one with 54 seconds to go, but Wisconsin (34-3) made all eight of its free throws - four by Kaminsky - over the closing seconds.
Paige added 12 points for the Tar Heels.
The teams shot exactly the same - 46 percent - for the game, but the Badgers improved to 58 percent in the second half and made 20 of 23 free throws to keep their hopes of a second straight Final Four berth alive.
The Tar Heels were trying to reach a regional final for the first time since back-to-back appearances in 2011 and '12. They appeared to have the game in hand when they were up by seven and Kaminsky went down with his hands covering his eyes.
Turns out "Frank the Tank" was just getting his team revved up.
With Kaminsky on the bench, his right eye reddened after being hit by Isaiah Hicks, the Badgers launched the 19-7 run that put them back in front, 65-60. Kaminsky quickly returned to hit a three-pointer, and Showalter scored four straight, including a layup off his own steal, putting the red-clad Wisconsin fans in full-throated cheers.
Carolina's Kennedy Meeks returned from a sprained left knee last weekend to bother Kaminsky early before getting in foul trouble.
Trailing by one, the Tar Heels outscored the Badgers 14-6 to take their largest lead, 53-46. Joel Berry and Hicks had four apiece while the Badgers struggled to make a shot.
"These guys have been through a lot. They've seen the good runs. They've seen the bad runs," Badgers coach Bo Ryan said. "But this group never gets discouraged to the point where they get down on themselves or their teammates, and that's what's fun."
Kaminsky got hit in the eye by Hicks on his layup that ended Carolina's run. He covered his face, but eventually got up and played the rest of the game with an eye that was open even less than his usual sleepy appearance.


The education and training goal of this program is to improve individual "discrimination" skills; that is, to improve accuracy of discrimination between "acceptable" or "unacceptable" electronic assembly per the IPC-A-610 series. This program will also teach individuals the reasons for the accept/reject criteria to enhance their motivation and ability to consistently and correctly apply the discrimination criteria.
Students will be able to make correct "accept/reject" decisions for the appropriate class/classes of production based on the acceptability requirements of IPC-A-610.

The vision of Stacy Lindau, M.D., a professor of obstetrics/gynecology and geriatrics at the University of Chicago is for community services to be e-prescribed from the EHR in the same manner as an antibiotic. Lindau has helped launched a startup community coordination system call NowPow.
In August, David Raths, an healthcare expert wrote about 2-1-1 San Diego's Community Information Exchange and noted the fact that their Community Information Exchange (CIE) platform seemed to be on the cutting edge of tech-supported projects to connect social service agencies and health providers in closed-loop referrals and in sharing client-level data. Its participating organizations even utilized a common risk rating tool. The CIE also facilitates community case planning, and care team communications to better address the social determinants of health.
A recent presentation on community information exchange from Dr. Lindau, chief innovation officer of NowPow, a Chicago-based company that uses a digital platform to link patients or people with chronic health and social problems to community-based organizations. She was taking part in a discussion hosted by Nemours Children's Health System on community care coordination systems and the role of technology applications that are emerging to "close the loop" between clinical and community services.
During the 30 months of the grant-funded project, they were able to integrate new software into the EMRs at 33 health sites, mostly community health centers but also some emergency departments and generate more than 250,000 community resource referral prescriptions, which they call HealtheRXs. NowPow has closed-loop functionality, which allows a person in the caring community to generate a referral digitally from their own work flow. It allows a referral receiver to receive the information, take action on it, and communicate that action back to the person who made the referral.
During the webinar, Lindau was asked what are some critical readiness factors that are indicators of success in implementing a digital infrastructure to enable matching and tracking of people to and from community resources. One critical factor is policy alignment, she responded. Communities and ecosystems adopting value-based payments are more likely to be ready than those still in fee-for-service mode, she said.
Lindau ended her talk with an anecdote involving the Apollo 13 mission. When an oxygen tank exploded in space, the astronauts and NASA engineers on the ground had to use their imaginations to determine how to return the spaceship to Earth safely. They made the decision to focus only on what was working rather than on what was broken. They knew every working part and used an "asset-based" approach to problem solving.
That asset-based approach undergirds the work her team does in Chicago. "My vision for the future is that we regard the resources of the communities as assets and treat them with respect," she said.
All in all, a powerful vision of the role technology can play in bridging the chasm between health systems and the communities in which they operate.

Our value is unconditional because it is based on our innate worth as a human being. It is not something to be earned. We were born with it. It's the external world that makes us feel unworthy.
As we walk through life, the opinions of others are draped over us like gossamer veils until all that is left is a thinly disguised version of our original selves.
Wrapped in a cocoon of projected ideals and unrealistic expectations, it's easy to lose touch with our intrinsic self and believe only what others tell us.
Thankfully, no one can take away your essence. It is there, waiting to emerge and fly free once again. Watch a child play, if you need a reminder. That spirited being is inside you.

Aleksander (Alexander) Imich (ur. 4 lutego 1903 w Częstochowie, zm. 8 czerwca 2014 w Nowym Jorku) – amerykański chemik i parapsycholog pochodzenia żydowskiego, urodzony i związany z Polską do połowy XX wieku, superstulatek. Mimo zaawansowanego wieku był aktywnym prezesem Phenomena Research Center w Nowym Jorku. Dnia 15 września 2013 jego wiek został udokumentowany przez Gerontology Research Group. Po śmierci Włocha Arturo Licaty (24 kwietnia 2014) w zestawieniu tego ośrodka figurował jako najstarszy żyjący mężczyzna na świecie.

Wczesna biografia
Urodził się w rodzinie żydowskiej. Był synem Józefa Rubina (1868–1942), częstochowskiego kupca i przemysłowca, działacza społecznego, i Ludwiki Lai z Kwasnerów (ur. 1874). Miał starszych braci Alfreda (1894–1932), współwłaściciela Wytwórni Wyrobów Metalowych "Metallum" w Częstochowie, oraz Stanisława (ur. 1896), lekarza rentgenologa w Krakowie, który przeżył okupację i przed 1956 wyjechał z Polski.

Aleksander Imich w wieku 15 lat, wraz z resztą swojej klasy, przyłączył się do sił polskich walczących o niepodległość. Jego starszy brat pracował jako instruktor w dziale samochodowym. Uzyskując poparcie brata i służąc jednocześnie ojczyźnie, pracował jako kierowca wojskowych samochodów ciężarowych.

W 1921 Imich ukończył I Gimnazjum Państwowe im. Henryka Sienkiewicza w Częstochowie. 5 grudnia 1927 roku aresztowany pod zarzutem przynależności do Anarchistycznej Federacji Polski. W 1929 uzyskał doktorat z zoologii na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim w Krakowie. Nie znalazłszy pracy w swoim wyuczonym zawodzie, przeniósł się na dział chemii. W wolnych chwilach zajmował się badaniami parapsychologicznymi. Ogłosił raport w 1932 roku w niemieckim czasopiśmie "Zeitschrift für Parapsychologie", ale wszystkie notatki oraz zdjęcia z badań, które nie zostało opublikowane zostały utracone podczas II wojny światowej.

Podczas II wojny światowej, Imich wraz z żoną Welą mieszkał w Białymstoku, gdzie zatrudniony był jako chemik. Para później internowana została w obozie pracy, ze względu na odmowę przyjęcia obywatelstwa sowieckiego. Po zwolnieniu z obozu przebywali od 1941 w Samarkandzie; gdy wrócili do Polski w 1946, okazało się, że niemal cała ich rodzina została zamordowana przez Niemców. Do 1951 mieszkali w Częstochowie. W obawie przed zajęciem Europy przez Związek Sowiecki, na początku lat 50. wyemigrowali do USA.

Emigracja
Po długim okresie pracy jako chemika konsultanta, przeszedł na emeryturę w Nowym Jorku. Po śmierci żony w 1986 roku, Imich powrócił do parapsychologii. Jest autorem licznych artykułów dla czasopism w tej dziedzinie i autorem książki Incredible. Tales of the Paranormal (Opowieści paranormalne, 1995). Został prezesem Phenomena Research Center w 1999 roku, starając się znaleźć sposób, aby produkować "kluczową demonstrację", której celem jest pokazanie rzeczywistości zjawisk paranormalnych do głównego nurtu naukowców i ogółu społeczeństwa. Mieszkał na Manhattanie, gdzie zmarł z przyczyn naturalnych 8 czerwca 2014.

Canberra writer Doug Fry has been travelling in the USA. This is his second guest blog about Pavement Graffiti.
Wacko, the self-described "premiere pop culture emporium of Los Angeles", is located in the Los Feliz area – a suburb that's affluent by real world standards, but decidedly middle class in LA terms. The store is part of a trifecta of hipster shopping opportunities on the eastern end of Hollywood Boulevard – just next door is Ozzie Dots, a novelty costume specialist that also carries overpriced second hand clothing. Barely a block away is Goodwill, the USA's (approximate) equivalent of Salvos/Vinnies-type thrift chains. So, if you need a costume for Halloween when you're in LA, Ozzie Dots and Goodwill can provide the clothing – Wacko, on the other hand, will provide the accoutrements.
The store sells all manner of trinkets and novelty items (Japanese conceived, Chinese made), along with a decent selection of books – a lot of indie and one-print-run-only titles, along with more 'mainstream' books covering everything from the early days of punk to the final days of the Manson Family. Finally, there is a permanent gallery space tucked up the back of the store; when I visited, the gallery was displaying a series of airbrushed paintings that were, as best I could tell, attempting to convey Alice In Wonderland-via-Dante's Inferno (with LSD as the catalyst, and Dr Freud as executive producer).
I never established why the steps and pavement in front of Wacko have become an apparent mecca for stencilling and graf. Sure, its customer base would undoubtedly include a good many street artists, but what's the ritual here? Do they celebrate their purchase of a marijuana-themed toilet seat by adding their latest stencil to the sidewalk? Or did someone arbitrarily spray the space one night, and unwittingly spawn a meme? Is this customer-customised livery actively encouraged by store management? And how does the City of LA feel about this communal modification of its grimy pavement?

There is uncertainty regarding the efficacy of ski helmets in preventing traumatic injury. We investigated the relationship between helmet use, injury types, and injury severity among skiers and snowboarders.
The trauma registry at a Northeast American College of Surgeons Level I trauma center was queried by International Classification of Diseases Codes—9th or 10th Revision for skiing and snowboarding injury between 2010 and 2018. The primary exposure was helmet use and primary outcome was severe injury (Injury Severity Score >15). We performed univariate and multivariable logistic regression to assess for injury types and severity associated with helmet use.
Seven hundred twenty-one patients (65% helmeted, 35% unhelmeted) met inclusion criteria. Helmet use doubled during the study period (43% to 81%, p < 0.001), but the rate of any head injury did not significantly change (49% to 43%, p = 0.499). On multivariable regression, helmeted patients were significantly more likely to suffer severe injury (odds ratio [OR], 2.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.30–3.11), intracranial hemorrhage (OR, 1.81; 95% CI, 1.10–2.96), chest injury (OR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.05–2.61), and/or lumbosacral spine injury (OR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.04–3.25) than unhelmeted patients. Helmeted patients were half as likely to suffer cervical spine injury (OR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.30–0.89) and a third as likely to sustain skull fracture and/or scalp laceration (OR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.14–0.64). More patients who hit a stationary object were helmeted compared with those who fell from standing height onto snow (70% vs. 56% respectively, p < 0.001). After adjustment, hitting a stationary object was the injury mechanism most significantly associated with severe injury (OR, 2.80; 95% CI, 1.79–4.38).
Helmeted skiers and snowboarders evaluated at a Level I trauma center were more likely to suffer severe injury, including intracranial hemorrhage, as compared with unhelmeted participants. However, they were less likely to sustain skull fractures or cervical spine injuries. Helmeted patients were also more likely to hit a stationary object. Our findings reinforce the importance of safe skiing practices and trauma evaluation after high-impact injury, regardless of helmet use.

The NewVape FlowerPot vaporizer is extremely unique and well-made, I love products like this. It was designed to work with an e-nail controller and a glass rig, and what's extra cool is that it's pure convection heating. Bonus: You can vape both flower and concentrates in this thing, very well I may add.
The VROD is now my favorite kit that they offer but I like and recommend the ShowerHead kit equally as much, they're both excellent with just subtle differences.
Use my promo code VAPECRITIC for 5% OFF on NewVape.com, you can build your own VROD kit starting at $320.
This is the new FlowerPot VROD vaporizer from NewVape, their newest version. There's a few different components to this kit but I'll run through them all for you now (see video).
This is the main bowl that goes into your glass rig. Then you have the VROD head, this is the part that gets hot and generates the heat to vaporize your material, and then that is the carb cap that goes on top.
It is made in the USA of Grade 2 titanium. So let's take a look.
Let's see the original FlowerPot I reviewed in late 2016, and this newer one, the VROD, is quite an improvement and progression from the original one. They also sell a ShowerHead model now which is fairly similar. They've been hard at work making it even better, stronger, and more robust with better airflow.
All of the parts are machined very intricately, and they are a pleasure to look at as well as a pleasure to use. Now that you've seen it let's check out how it works. The easiest way to use this is the way I'm showing you now. You set the PID or the controller to about 650 degrees, you let the head heat up for a few minutes, you put about ~0.2 grams of flower in the bowl part.
Then you put the head onto the bowl. You take about a 6 to 10 second draw, then take the head off. That is the simplest and most straightforward way to use this vape. However, there are other ways to use it as well.
The FlowerPot is for both flower and concentrates. You can dab wax right on that top piece there which I will show you. The controller or the PID unit is on the right there, that's where you set the temperature. Then it has the cord coming out attached to the heater with the handle, the heater is the part it gets really hot. And then I have the 18 mm bowl piece in my glass rig.
You should stir your herb every few draws, but if you do you can expect nice even AVB at the end.
Here's that PID or email controller, it's a very simple one. You're basically only going to use the up and down arrows and the power button on the front. It has that 5-pin connector in the back. This is their custom email handle with the hemp cord wrapped around it. The enail coil that they use for the VROD and the ShowerHead is 20 mm, an it comes with a 25 mm Quartz dish for the top.
These are the actual components of the VROD. These are the airflow holes in the bottom and this is the VROD specific carb cap. Now this is a little demonstration of how to set up your bowl piece when you first get it. It comes in three parts, so first you're going to stick the slide into your glass rig. Then you're going to take the bowl piece and place it right on top, then screw in the handle and then take a thin tool thin metal tool, put it through that hole and give it a turn so that it's nice and tight. The bowl should easily and smoothly go in and out of your glass rig as you are using it.
There are a few screen options for the bowl: stainless steel, titanium and double weave titanium. I would try all of them if you can, you might notice the subtle differences between them.
Now in this clip I lowered the temperature on the controller to about 595 and I'm going to use the carb cap on the top, but I still only have flower in the bowl. So when you use the carb cap with flower you can vape it at a lower temperature. Some people like to keep the temperature of the coil as low as possible and that is what vaping with the carb cap allows you to do. Again, I do recommend stirring every few draws to keep it nice and even.
The cool thing I like about the VROD is that it works so well without the carb cap. When I use the ShowerHead, the other version, that one is also excellent but I do find myself having to use the carb cap a lot with flower to get the same amount of vapor. If you plan on vaping concentrates in it at all I would definitely get the carb cap.
Now I'm going to do a twax hit or a double decker, where I'm going to do a dab on the top with flower in the bowl underneath. It's kind of a unique thing that this vape can do, how well it works vaping both materials at the same time, the flower and the oil, so I do like to do it here and there ;) I would experiment with it if you can but watch out because they're super strong!
After using concentrates on the top or doing dabs on it, just set it aside and then take a cotton swab and swab it out while it's still warm, right after you're done just swab it out and that'll keep it cleaner longer.
They also offer a silicone carbide dish or SiC dish, it's cool and it's the same size just a different material to vape concentrates and instead of quartz or titanium. I like it, I think it might actually be my favorite material to dab from now.
In this clip here I have my temperature kind of high at 650 degrees but it vapes it like a champ. Lots of vapor and the taste is excellent, I would do it again. NewVape also offers glass bowls that you can use instead of the titanium one. They don't make these but some people like them, they say that it maybe enhances the flavor a little bit. I don't mind them, I like them too, I just find that they get a little dirty here faster and you can see the buildup in them so I kind of prefer the titanium only because I feel like it matches the kit.
The last few photos here are of their ShowerHead. The other version that's very similar it just looks a little different.
Overall the NewVape Flowerpot I think is an excellent desktop vaporizer, I highly recommend it. It's easy to use, super strong vapor, very tasty – you can't go wrong.
Thanks very much for watching, if you have any questions hit me up on the forum, and stay up!
UPDATE 10/17: NewVape has updated their FlowerPot components and they're now even better and nicer than the ones I show in my review video.
Hot air is all that heats your herb, and they're calling it a "twax" vape because you can actually use it to vape both flower and concentrates, even at the same time, which is quite an experience.
NewVape custom manufactures their own products in the USA out of Grade 2 Titanium and medical-grade aluminum, and the precision they adhere to is what impresses me most about them.
As you can see in the pic above, this was designed for use with a glass rig, and they happen to sell the rig I show in my review which works perfectly with the FlowerPot.
You can use any glass piece you want with a standard 14mm or 18mm connection, male or female. They offer two different bowls or "FlowerPots", a male body and a female body, and each one is universal in that it will work with any 14/18mm rig.
It's a relatively simple concept how it works, and aside from the enail controller box there are no other electronic components.
What you're paying for with this one is the quality of the materials used and the attention to detail with which it is manufactured – the stuff feels like it'll last forever.
The enail controller box is not the special part, it's a pretty generic one that's nothing fancy but it does the job.
I wouldn't consider the enail coil itself to be anything special either, which is why you don't have to use theirs, but what is very cool and unique is the enail handle they make with aluminum and hemp wick.
It's function is to keep your handle cool and it does a mighty fine job of that, in addition to it looking and feeling great.
Vaporization occurs inside the chamber where the "head" and the "pot" meet. The ONLY non-titanium part of the vapor path is the brass screen at the bottom of the bowl, and as far as my senses can tell this doesn't affect the flavor or purity of the vapor at all.
In my video I show you exactly how I use it, but basically you pack a thin layer of herb inside the FlowerPot and attach it to your rig, and then when you're ready to take a draw you pick up the heated head and place it on the pot.
You only keep the head on top of the pot for a few seconds while you draw, and right before you finish pulling you take the heater off and clear the vapor from your rig.
In between draws you need to keep the hot head somewhere, so they make a couple of custom stands to keep it on while it's hot, one of which is the "FlowerPot Tray Base & Lid" I have that doubles as a storage container for used and unused herb. It has a post labeled HOT on one side and a cleaning spike on the other side for clearing out your bowl (make sure it cools down first, be careful!).
The top piece can function just like an e-nail, so you can technically dab with this too and not even put any flower in it.
Now if you really wanna go crazy you can also vape herb and wax at the same time with this by loading some flower in the pot and then putting the head on top and doing a dab. This is pretty intense, so take it slow.
When vaping flower only it's a super pure convection experience. The head piece gets so hot that when air gets pulled through those nine holes on top it gets super-heated right before going through your herb.
You'll need to play around with the temperature settings on the enail controller because even though NewVape recommends starting at 800°F I think you may want to start a little lower to avoid any accidental combustion while you learn how to use it.
When vaping bud only I think 750-800°F is a good range to be in, and when using it with concentrates I like to lower it to around 700°ish.
The higher the temp the faster it's going to heat your herb and the faster you'll have to hit it. Temps on the lower end allow you a little more time to take a draw without the risk of overheating.
What I also like about this is the versatility with how much you load at a time. Most vapes have a specific amount of herb you should pack them with to get the best performance from them, but with the FlowerPot you can efficiently and effectively vape as little as 0.05g and as much as 0.5g.
The other great thing about on-demand manual heating is that you can take as few or as many draws in one session as you'd like, and the rest will be there waiting for you whenever you decide to finish it off.
Overall, I'd consider this a true connoisseur's vape. The focus is squarely on the quality of materials used and the complexity of the vapor produced.
When you factor in the manual heating aspect you have a mighty fine example of a fully-controlled convection vape experience, not to mention that gnarly ability it has to vaporize herb and oil at the same time.
Click here to buy the FlowerPot direct from the official NewVape store. My favorite is the VROD which starts at $320 for the core parts. Make sure to use my promo code VAPECRITIC to get 5% OFF your entire order. They do compensate me if you use my code but I'm very serious about the quality of their products and I sincerely appreciate your support!
Yup, been looking for the V-ROD for a while.
I've been using my showerhead for a few months now, and I really love it.
However, as you pointed, the carb cap is mandatory if you want to generate some vapor.
Also, I find the titanium painful to clean. The silicon must be really nice to use with rosin.
I will probably upgrade my kit in a few months, but I don't regret my purchase.
These guys are top lads, too.
Hey guys I just posted my new updated review of the FlowerPot VROD setup, their newest model and my personal fave now, check out the video at the top of the page!
I really like your review and am/was all set to buy the Flowerpot setup. I did some further reading and was impressed with the quality of the product and apparent excellent customer service. However, I wanted to know what will appear on my credit card statement. It might be a stupid question but I know they come under 'Custom Instruments' and I wanted to know if that is what appears on the statement or 'NewVape'? So I went online and filled out their form to pose the question. After 5 days with no response, I called their telephone number to which an answer machine picked up. I left a message asking the same question but still no response. I am now having second thoughts. Do I really want to invest $600 in a product if I can't reach customer service? What if I have a problem with it and need help? At this point my guess is that I would be SOL.
Hey David I'm sorry for the late reply and also sorry to hear this because that's not like them!
Got it…apreciate the reply. will be ordering soon and useing your coupon code. Double thanks!
Yeah, it August 3 and I cant get thru to Newvape at all. Either thru phone or email. So I bagged purchasing the flowerpot. No way in hell Im spending $700 on a product that doesnt have GREAT customer support. FAIL!
I have this vape and it is the BEST vaporizer I have used EVER!
Hi great reviews, was looking at a mighty but saw a review of this and it looks well good looks kind of on par with a sublimator for the amount of vapour produced. I know the sublimation actually goes straight to gas rather than vapour. Can you still buy the 16mm shower head unit as I only have a 16mm coil. I have looked at their site and it just lists components for a 20mm coil.
Hey guys if you have any questions about this one please post them in the Desktop Vaporizers category on the forum.
I just bought a MiniNail after seeing your other review. It was a tough choice but I think I chose right for $272 Black Friday sale on the universal quartz hybrid deep dish.
Received mine in the mail and it did not turn on. Talked to them and they are making me pay for the return shipping. Very disappointed about this device. It seems very cheaply made considering I use my Volcano every day and never have issues. Buyers remorse for sure.
Hey Luke I'm bummed to hear that I'm really sorry man! I'm assuming you're referring to the e-nail controller box not firing up? Please shoot me an email at [email protected] with your Newvape order# I would like to reimburse you for the shipping cost.
How classy is that! WOW! Just about to pull the trigger on a showehead myself.
Do you prefer this or the Evo, prices not a factor.
Oh man, that's a tough call… lately I've been using my FlowerPot more but I do love both.
Bud, can you review more dry herb/concentrate 'twax' style e-nails? I'm looking thru your reviews and there doesn't seem to be much info or comparisions on what's on the market. Easy.
Hey man! Love your reviews, you are always my go-to channel whenever I'm looking into new vapes.
How it this unit comparing to the Sublimator? I've wanted to get one for a long time but it's such a hassle to get now. Could this be an appropriate replacement for it? I'd love to get your opinion on that.
What is your exact set here. Can you please list all the pieces? This set is exactly what I need! On the website there are no premade sets/kits so I'm rather confused at mm this and male/female stem that etc. Thanks for all your comprehensive reviews, they mean the world!
Great video. Looks like a heck of a vape.
Thanks Bruce this thing is killer!
So on gids green earth,,,,what is the price of the whole thing.With part and that part and this part snd that other part. What is the total price? ???????????. Did i im see 120 correctly somewhere? ?????????
Being that this is a pure convection vaping experience, is there any definitive guide that compares the temperature that your dry herb will be heated to in relation to the heat of the enail itself? What I mean by that, is if I use a desktop vape (such as a volcano) and set that to 390 F, I can more comfortably assume my herb is heating to 390 F which lets me easily adjust for day and night time usage depending on what effects I'm looking to get, as well as avoiding combustion, unwanted chemicals and carcinogens, etc..
In your review, you set the enail to 750 F, even for dry herb. But since you're not keeping the heating element on the flower, I'm assuming the herb never actually gets up to 750 F – that's obviously well above combustion. So is there some way to have an approximate idea of the temperature that the flower is being heated to so that one could know how to adjust the enail temp in a similar fashion and get the desired effects?
Apologies for the long-winded question. Appreciate any advice you can offer.
If you leave herb in the bowl and don't take a hit, does the herb cook?
If you leave the heater on top of the bowl yes it will roast it, but if you take the head off and put it on the stand you can leave your herb in the bowl and it'll be totally fine.
This link to buy this Twix to new world vape is not working.
I liked your review of the plenty but another review I read said you need to hold onto the plenty for 3 minutes and that you could not set it doown to heat. Is this true? Otherwise it sounds like the vaporizer for me. I have a pax I hate that I cannot get t to give me more than one or two draws before it has to be heated again. I give up and smoke.
Please let me know re holding the plenty for I need to buy a good one. I also read re arizer extreme q as a possibility but sounds like plenty might be better.
Thanks for your good reviews and videos liked the plenty video.
Judy I have an extreme Q that I've had for about 5-6 years now and it has never let me down! I compare it to my buddy's silver surfer vape all the time.
Well I might agree on Pax 1, but the 3rd gen is a very solid and good unit B GESSO. I use it next to a Volcano and a Mighty so I got some reference I think. I get very long sessions out of it with very little material and the stealth factor is superb! All that with 10 years of warranty seem like a good deal to me ;) Stopped taking my Mighty anywhere.

Renaldo Nehemiah (born March 24, 1959) is an American athlete who dominated the 110 m hurdle event from 1978 until 1981. He was the world record holder and the first man to run the high hurdles in under 13 seconds. He was ranked number one in the world for four straight years.
Nehemiah also played pro football in the National Football League (NFL) as a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers from 1982 to 1985, before returning to track and field athletics from 1986 to 1991.
Nehemiah was also known by the nickname "Skeets".
Track and field career Edit
Nehemiah was the national junior champion in 1977, the same year he graduated from Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School in his hometown of Scotch Plains, New Jersey.[2] Nehemiah's high school personal bests were 12.9 in the 110 meter hurdles and 35.8 in the 300 meter hurdles, so much faster than his competitors that his coach had him compete over 42 inch hurdles (collegiate height) and occasionally train over 45 inch hurdles.[3] After graduating from Scotch Plains-Fanwood, Nehemiah attended the University of Maryland, where he won three NCAA titles (two indoor).
Nehemiah's sophomore year at UMD proved to be his breakout year. He broke the world record in the 110 meter hurdles twice in two weeks, running 13.16 and then 13.00. He won the 1979 IAAF World Cup and Pan-American Games titles, as well as the second of four U.S. national titles. At the 1979 Penn Relays, Nehemiah anchored UMD's shuttle hurdle relay, 4x400 meter relay, and 4x200 meter relay, and was named meet MVP.[4] During the relays he recorded an unofficial split of 19.4 seconds in the 4-by-200 meter relay and a 44.3 second split in the 4x400 meter relay. Nehemiah described his 400-meter leg as follows:
So, I just ran harder and harder as the noise [of the crowd] got louder. And before I knew it, I could see (Villanova's) Tim Dale and the finish line about 20 meters in front of me. As I was really starting to be overwhelmed by the pain, I dug one more time with all I had, and surged past a fading Dale and believe I won by a couple of meters. [Afterwards] ... I told myself that I would not ever feel that type of pain again in my life. And I never ran another 400-meter again.
—Renaldo Nehemiah[5]
The prohibitive favorite to win the 110-meter hurdles in the 1980 Summer Olympics, he was unable to compete due to a 64-nation boycott of the Games, spearheaded by the United States. At the 1981 Weltklasse meeting in Zürich, Switzerland, Nehemiah broke the world record for the 110 meter hurdles and became the first person to ever run the race in less than 13 seconds. In an interview, Nehemiah explained his race as less than ideal:
I was way out of control over the first hurdle. Then I floated over the second hurdle, and Greg [Foster] caught me going into the third hurdle. From there, I just ran as fast as I could. It was just one of those things where I was just determined to win. I knew that if I could stay out in front, I could make him make a mistake. He's six-foot-three, so if I'm getting crowded between hurdles, I know he's getting crowded trying to chase me. For the first three hurdles I had too much adrenaline; I couldn't control it, so I had to slow myself down. I knew that, technically, I was a better hurdler, faster between and over the hurdles. That's probably what got me ahead of him. It's a different race when you're chasing someone than when you're being chased.

Pat Connolly, who also coached sprinter Evelyn Ashford, was instrumental in reviving Nehemiah's track career after his short foray in football. Connolly is quoted as saying:
If he had concentrated on athletics he would have matched Harrison Dillard's achievement (double gold in the 100m and 110m hurdles). He clearly could have run under 9.9 in the 100.
—Pat Connolly[7]
She also believed he may have been better suited for the 400 m hurdle event. She is on record as saying:
Based on a 300m I timed in practice, I believe he would still hold the world record in that event (400m hurdles), had he given it a serious try.

Football career Edit
Nehemiah worked out in 1982 for several NFL teams, including the Pittsburgh Steelers and the San Francisco 49ers and ended up signing with the 49ers in a blaze of publicity and high expectations. During his three years as a wide receiver he caught 43 passes for 754 yards, a 17.5 average, and 4 touchdowns. Although he was part of the Super Bowl winning team in the 1984 season, he did not play a major role. His football career is deemed by some to be a failure – many think it represents one of the most glaring mistakes ever made by 49ers head coach Bill Walsh – winning Nehemiah a comparison to the track star Jimmie "Oops" Hines, who won his infamous nickname for his inability to catch the ball. However, a strong point of Nehemiah was that he would draw the defense into deep coverage whenever he was on the field. He would often be guarded with deep or double coverage, thereby demonstrating a success of Nehemiah. Nehemiah was made expendable in 1985 when the 49ers drafted Jerry Rice in the first round, and he returned to the track in 1986. He managed to achieve world rankings four more times before retiring from athletics after the 1991 season.
The Superstars Edit
Nehemiah was the only four-time winner of The Superstars, a made-for-television decathlon-style competition broadcast by ABC Sports. He won the event in 1981, 1982, 1983 and 1986.
Management Edit
He is currently involved with Octagon Sports Marketing, a sports management and marketing agency, as the Director of Track & Field. He has represented many of the world's best hurdlers and sprinters including Allen Johnson, Mark Crear and Justin Gatlin and most recently 2012 400 meter Gold Medalist Kirani James.

Langley residents beat MS Walk fundraising target
More than $10,000 raised locally by virtual event
A virtual walk to fight Multiple Sclerosis saw 22 walkers and six teams in Langley beat their combined target of $10,000.
As of Monday, May 31, the day after the event wrapped, they had raised $10,446, 104 per cent of the goal.
Aldergrove resident Jaime Dickson raised $694, more than four times her $150 target.
"I was so overwhelmed with appreciation for all the donations that came in," Dickson told the Langley Advance Times.
"It brought tears to my eyes."
This year, as a result of the pandemic and social distancing requirements, the annual event was a 50km virtual fitness and fundraising challenge that could be completed anywhere, even in the home.
Dickson, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis two years ago, walked her 50 kilometres by installments, taking family and friends along for her final three kilometres in the Aldergrove Regional Park on Sunday.
She had to take a couple of breaks, but made it all the way.
"I'm fortunate that I can still work and I'm still active," Dickson, a mother of three who works in a warehouse, explained during an earlier interview..
"On good days, I'm totally fine," while on bad days, she can have balance issues.

Dickson was among the top 10 of Langley fundraisers, ranking sixth.
Number one spot went to Paige Wiksyk, who collected $2,228, more than double her $1,000 goal.
Top Langley team was Tenacious Turtles, who raised $3,279, more than triple their $1,000 target.
By way of comparison, the 2019 in-person MS walk in Langley saw about 135 turned out, and raised $19,591.
On the Saturday before the event wrapped up, Dickson made a public appeal to let would-be donors know that every dollar contributed up till Sunday would have double the impact on Canadians living with multiple sclerosis, because the amount will be matched, and given directly to the MS Society of Canada.
The result was a surge of contributions that saw her quadruple her target amount.
"Can't wait until next year," Dickson enthused on her Facebook page.
READ ALSO: VIDEO: Langley MS Walk is a family affair for many involved
Every year, thousands of Canadians in 160 communities take part in the annual MS walks to raise millions of dollars for advancing MS research with new breakthrough discoveries, determining the unique causes of MS, and advocating for accessible and low-cost treatments.
Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world, with an estimated 90,000 Canadians living with the disease.
While it is most often diagnosed in young adults aged 20 to 49, younger children and older adults are also diagnosed with MS.

sinus infection is undoubtedly one of the most common health problems experienced by individuals every now and then. A longterm case in particular can take its toll on a person and also ruin one's daily routine and planned activities.
After that push yourself in order to understand the things that can get rid of your sickness!
When confronted with an illness that you think is related to your sinuses, observe your system as well as be aware down your own observations. What are you feeling? Do you have a headache? Is your nose clogged along with thick mucous, or even do you have thin mucus which is providing you a runny nose? Do you have a tickly throat? What about a fever?
Aside from your system, you also need to become aware of how your body acts to your surroundings. Are you exposed to dirty, and possibly infectious substances? Molds, dirt particles, pet dander, fungi, bacteria and viruses are just some of the few things that can enter your system and cause you to feel pain and discomfort. Extreme changes in weather can upset your body's normal working. Whether or not this will become too hot or too cold, you body may be affected adversely and bring about an infection just like sinusitis.
Sinuvil Sinus Relief Package includes calming homeopathic drops and herbal supplement, created to help target the source of sinus pain. Sinuvil includes the highest quality botanical ingredients that have been scientifically developed to work for optimal results. Sinuvil's ingredients have been used safely for hundreds of years to support healthy sinus cavity, helping in reducing swelling and sinus pain and support respiratory health. Now they are all combined into this special sinus formula. Reducing swelling and supporting healing has been shown to ease the pain and flare-ups related to sinus infection.
Home remedies are popular because of their cheapness and ease. Medicines are usually taken for serious and chronic bouts of ailments. Nasal sprinkler system can be viewed a home treatment (when using a saltwater solution) and a medical remedy (when including medicines in the mix) at the same time. Nose surgical procedure is for severe cases that can not be cured by any other method.
Information in itself is not good enough in fighting off diseases as well as related health issues. You have to use the details you obtained in coming up with a plan to remedy yourself. When suffering from a mild case of sinusitis, you are able to explore home cures to be comforted from your symptoms. If your infection progresses right into a more serious problem, you need to go to the doctor to be able to be more properly advised and prescribed with medication as essential.
During the course of your illness, you have to keep yourself aware on how your body is actually coping.
Keep on with observing the symptoms and also surroundings.
This way, you can observe your progress to see if you wish to change anything in your plans.
Even if you have never had a sinus infection, you can make a plan in caring for your sinuses to prevent diseases like sinusitis from overpowering your own immune system. Rinse your sinuses each day in order to keep them clean and moisturized. Maintain your living and working areas as clean as possible - vacuum carpets, eliminate dirt from furniture, sweep the floors, and utilize disinfectants in contaminated areas.
You are dealing with an infection, there are ways to help you easily get back to your healthy state.

CURIOUS COMMISSIONERS: After Miami-Dade commissioners delayed for a second time a decision on raising Mayor Carlos Giménez's salary, commissioners are unsure what will happen next. When asked about the outcome of the mayor's salary, Dennis Moss said he has "no idea" how it will play out but believes Mr. Giménez "deserves to be fully compensated." The mayor elected to take half of his predecessor's salary when he took office, taking only $150,000 annually to cut county costs and set an example for his employees. The item to discuss the board raising the mayor's salary was sent to the Chairman's Policy Council for consideration and will come back to the commissioners for approval. Daniella Levine Cava said "there is going to be an appetite to resolve it in the short term" but hopes there is a robust and qualitative discussion before any decision is made.
CHARGES TO CHARGE: Household electricity prices in the Miami area are up more than 10% from a year ago but continue to be well below the national average, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports. Area households paid an average of 11.9 cents per kilowatt hour of electricity in November, up from 10.8 cents in November 2016, the latest bureau statistics show. Still, what Miamians paid was 12.5% less than the nationwide average of 13.6 cents per kilowatt hour in November. The margin has narrowed from November 2016, when Miami households paid 17.6% less than the national average of 13.1 cents per kilowatt hour. Miami area electricity prices have been at least 11% below the US average for the past five years.
LOADING PASSENGERS: A new Johnnie Walker Store, the first in any airport, has opened near Gate D14 at Miami International Airport where a special bar will serve the company's products before flights.

Why Length Overall (LOA) Matters – So be honest!
If you're a boat owner and cruiser, you're probably familiar with terms like beam, draft and length, but you may not be as familiar with the distinction between LOA, LWL and LOH. These terms come into play more often if you're cruising with a vessel that has a bowsprit or a large part of the hull above the waterline.
When you're cruising and staying as a guest at marinas and yacht clubs, your length overall becomes an important dimension to keep in mind – just as your draft is critical as you navigate shallow harbors and tides.
When visiting a marina, it is crucial that captains provide an accurate LOA. This metric includes every inch from the tip of your bowsprit to the aft of your swim platforms or stern-mounted dinghy.
LOA stands for "length overall" and is a measurement of your vessel's length including any spars that protrude from the hull or platforms on the stern. This differs from LWL, or "loaded waterline length" and LOH, or "length of hull."
The importance of LOA is obvious when docking in a marina slip, especially when you need to account for a dock wall or bulkhead. You don't want to lose your bowsprit or damage the marina's facilities by not knowing your proper LOA.
Traditionally, LOA and LWL are different based on factors like your outboard motor being up or down, or your sailboat's or fishing boat's bowsprit.
Thankfully on many modern sailboats and dinghys, the retractable bowsprit has replaced the fixed bowsprit that you see on many tall ships and older vessels.
Other types of bowsprits have become popular more recently, like tuna pulpits and other bow extension on fishing and harpooning boats. Most trawlers and larger motor yachts have some sort of bowsprit. Mainly though, your LOA can be extended by factors aft, in your boat's stern. Swim ladders, outboard engines, dinghys, certain radar mounts and other equipment that is not even a part of your boat's hull or spars can extend your LOA.
LOA's importance isn't limited to docks and slips: the moorings you tie up to all require accurate dimensions as well.
Because the weight used when installing permanent moorings is greater than that of a boat anchor, harbors can install moorings with less scope than a boater would employ when anchoring – thus forming a tighter swing radius. Mooring field staff assign your boat to a mooring based on boat LOA in order to account for that tight swing – if you fudge or fib about your LOA and swing into another moored vessel, you are responsible for damages.
The facility is not trying to nickel and dime you because of the extra two feet from those nice, new Mercury 400s. They need this information to be accurate so they can accommodate every boat as safely as possible. If your Mako 261 is actually 30 feet from bowsprit to props-up, that 26ft space they've allocated isn't going to work. You'll be forced to raft or head elsewhere, which is in no one's best interest.
So check out some marinas on Dockwa that will be happy to accommodate you, regardless of your LOA.

A couple years ago, I had the guys from The Last Glimpse in studio to talk about songwriting. They broke down the way their song Ashes came together.
I love looking behind the scenes at how music comes together.


The steak knife has a particularly sharp cutting edge made of special blade steel with a serrated edge and is a pleasure to hold and use. The prongs of the fork are especially long and sharp. Using the widened outer edge you can cut up jacket potatoes, vegetables or salad. This set of 6 steak knives and 6 steak forks comes beautifully presented in a wooden box and is a great idea for a gift.
