Some things in life are certain. Among them: People need haircuts. And men often get their hair cut every two to four weeks, says Boardroom Salon for Men CEO Bruce Schultz.
Schultz opened the first Boardroom in 2004 with the idea to create an upscale men's salon. In the early days, Schultz and his wife performed all aspects of the business except the hair-cutting. Since then, they've built a great team, and their Southlake-based salon concept has accrued a loyal customer base.
Two years ago, David "Sheffield" Clark and Bobby Sharp bet big on bitcoin. The digital currency was relatively new, and the founders believed it would quickly rise to global prominence. Their bet has been lucrative.
Coinsource now has 110 bitcoin ATM locations in 10 states, serving about 45,000 customers. The Fort Worth-based company employs 16 people and generated more than $20 million in revenue in 2016. Its next step is to break into new markets and expand services.
Not even five years old yet, Arcis Golf has vaulted quickly into the top ranks of the golf business as one of the largest owner/operators of courses in the country. The Dallas company was founded by Blake Walker, an SMU graduate and former chief investment officer for Dallas-based ClubCorp.
Walker says he viewed the golf-management business as "stagnant," especially in technology, so he's tried to infuse the industry with fresh thinking. So far Arcis has accumulated—and improved—more than 60 private, resort, and daily-fee facilities in major metros nationwide.
President and CEO, 7-Eleven Inc.
When 7-eleven president and CEO Joseph DePinto came to the company 12 years ago, he took an active approach to refining the brand. He tackled the company's debt, transitioned to a franchise model, and improved the company culture by establishing a "servant-leadership" model.
And, he hasn't stopped there. In order to appeal to millennials, 7-Eleven has expanded its food selection and delved into one-to-one marketing approaches. The Irving-based company also aims to reduce its carbon footprint by 20 percent over the next eight years by utilizing wind power and reducing packaging. 7-Eleven has more than 62,000 stores in 19 countries and, over the last three years, has enjoyed a cumulative sales growth of 10.9 percent.
When Lewis "Lee" Bird became CEO of Garden Ridge in late 2012, he saw an opportunity—a big-box store where customers could find myriad home décor styles at low prices.
But first the brand would need a major transformation. Bird relocated the HQ to Dallas, renamed the company At Home, and created a better workplace environment. Stores were tidied up and scrubbed clean, and he worked to ensure fast turnaround times for new marketplace trends. From 2013 to 2016, At Home's revenue grew from $364 million to $622 million, and the company has had more than 20 percent unit growth for the past four years. At Home went public in 2016.
By 2012, Stephanie Alsbrooks had spent most of her 15-year career buying, building, and tweaking loan-origination systems—and constantly battling the technology status quo.
Annoyed by the lack of technological innovation in the auto lending industry, Alsbrooks scraped together her own money, along with cash from friends and family, to launch defi SOLUTIONS five years ago.
CEO, Dave & Buster's Entertainment Inc.
In March 2006, Stephen King left TGI Friday's to join Dallas-based Dave & Buster's Entertainment Inc., as CFO. By that September, he'd been named CEO. Since then, the company has changed its structure, technology, food, and entertainment options—with the aim of appealing to both families and young adults.
In 2011, Bryan DeLuca was traveling in Europe when he ran out of socks. He purchased a colorful pair abroad and, upon returning home, decided that quirky socks suited him. Around the same time, razor subscription service Dollar Shave Club made its debut. "I was struck by the idea of taking something historically boring and making it fun," DeLuca says.
In 2012, he launched Foot Cardigan, a service that delivers funky socks to subscribers' doors every month. By 2015, the Dallas-based company was growing at a year-over-year rate of 300 percent. And a week after DeLuca appeared on TV's "Shark Tank," his subscriber base doubled.
Deca Dental CEO Dr. Sulman Ahmed grew up in Zimbabwe, where he witnessed dentistry at its worst. If someone had a toothache, the tooth was pulled—and a lot of people had missing teeth.
He carried these memories with him to the U.S., where he attended dental school. When he began work, he found that business revolved around dentists' convenience, not patients'. In 2009, Dr. Ahmed opened a private practice built on patient-centered dentistry.
At ETC Group, an Arlington-based travel management company, there are no "accounts" or "customers" or "vendors." Rather, there are partners. Founder and CEO Debbie Frazier views those partners as much more than line items on a spreadsheet.
Frazier says her company's success lies in the strong relationships she and her employees have cultivated with those partners, including 7-Eleven, the Dallas Cowboys, and Dean Foods.
For E-Mist Innovations CEO Joshua Robertson, healthcare has always been a family business. After creating a company centered on providing hospice equipment, Robertson started an investment company. He soon fell in love with one of the investments, E-Mist Innovations, and became its CEO in 2016.
Based in Fort Worth, E-Mist is an electrostatic disinfection tool that can cover 54,000 square feet an hour. The technology was used during the Dallas Ebola crisis to disinfect nurse Nina Pham's apartment, and Robertson believes E-Mist can help eliminate the 1.7 million healthcare-associated infections that occur in hospitals each year.
When Larry Johnson started as CEO of Fogo de Chão in 2007, he aimed to grow the business without losing sight of its authentic Brazilian steakhouse dining experience.
Corey Egan's success with smart light-bulb company Ilumi boils down to a series of wild cards. In 2010, Egan and future co-founder Swapnil Bora won $5,000 in a business idea competition, which helped them file patents and launch the company in 2011.
In 2013, the two raised $200,000 via crowdfunding. They were put in the national spotlight in 2013, when they won $350,000 from Mark Cuban on TV's "Shark Tank." Now Ilumi's bulbs are sold in 1,400 stores including Best Buy, Home Depot, and Target.
Chairman and Executive Chairman, Heritage Health Solutions Inc.
James Rosengren, executive chairman of Heritage Health Solutions Inc., has worked in healthcare most of his life. He's only had three employers: the Army, where he started as a combat medic; HealthNet, where he served as vice president of political and government relations; and Heritage Health Solutions, which he founded in 2005.
CEO, Ivie & Associates Inc.
As a corporate vice president more than 20 years ago, Warren Ivie used to believe that advertising agencies didn't have their clients' interests at heart. So, in 1993, he launched his own firm to offer companies in-house advertising assistance and put the clients' needs and values first.
A serial entrepreneur, Robert "Bob" Michelson was brought in to help turn around digital signage company RMG Networks in 2014. RMG was a special acquisition company, taking the form of a publicly traded firm after merging with another company. It had been around in some form for more than 30 years and was in "serious distress," Michelson says.
You may not have heard of Plano-based Learfield Communications LLC. But you've likely seen its work.
Learfield manages multimedia rights and sponsorships for more than 120 college sports programs, conferences, and arenas, including Southern Methodist University and the University of North Texas. In 2016, private equity firm Atairos Group Inc. snapped up the company, which was founded in 1972.
Nature Nate's Honey Co. is a Mc-Kinney-based honey company with a focus on healthy living.
Nathan Sheets bought North Dallas Honey Co. as a side business in 1997 and started working there full-time in 2010. He soon changed the name to Nature Nate's. Today, the honey company has 90 employees and products on the shelves of major retailers like Walmart and Kroger.
Leading Newline Interactive, Chris Bradford and Kevin Wang say their business model is the source of success in the touchscreen product market. The key: Newline not only develops the technology, it also owns its own manufacturing facility in China—thanks to Wang's connections abroad.
The two have been business partners for 17 years, launching Newline in 2012. Within the last three years, the company's top line has increased by 770 percent.
When Stephen "Buck" Jones decided to start his own IT company, he chose to go all in. Instead of specializing in one of three industry specialties, as most firms do, he set out to provide all of them. He launched Plano-based Pegasus Technology Solutions in October 2014, offering value-added reselling, managed services, and professional services.
Quincy Roberts earned a bachelor's degree in music, with an emphasis on vocal performance, from Indiana University in 2002. As a solo vocalist, he's performed with groups including the Dallas Opera and the Cincinnati Symphony. Today, however, he's singing an entirely different tune. Roberts leads Dallas-based Roberts Trucking Inc., which specializes in transporting construction materials for commercial construction companies.
During his career in the executive search industry, Greg Moran grew frustrated by how many companies he saw making bad hires. So, he figured, why not improve the hiring process by applying analytics?
Thus, Dallas-based Outmatch was born. The company supplies predictive data enabling employers to match the right people to the right roles. Moran founded Chequed.com in 2009; his company merged with Assess in 2015 to form Outmatch.
George Baker Sr.'s history with the parking industry dates back to age 12, when he started working for his family at Parking Co. of America. As the years passed, he identified inefficiencies within the business and began developing products to solve them. ¶ In 2010, he launched Dallas-based ParkHub, a mobile application that initially allowed drivers to search and pre-pay for parking spots in real time. It has since transitioned into a B2B platform serving as a vendor for stadiums and arenas.
Kent McKeaigg initially created what would become OrderMyGear to help his father, who worked in sporting goods, with large orders from youth sports organizations. But instead, he ended up bootstrapping a company that's thrived for nearly a decade, growing 100 percent annually for the past three years.
The online store helps teams, leagues, schools, distributors, and manufacturers streamline the ordering process for team gear. McKeaigg expects OrderMyGear, which employs 55 people, to generate $15 million in revenue this year.
After a series of failed businesses and bankruptcies, Suzy Bátiz launched Poo~Pourri in 2007. With the help of clever packaging and a hilarious viral video, her oil-based, before-you-go bathroom spray took the world by storm.
Today, Poo~Pourri has sold more than 22 million bottles in 42 countries. The Addison-based company is hard at work on new product lines, and recently launched an in-house production studio. Bátiz is also a staunch supporter of women's empowerment. Poo~Pourri has contributed $30,000 to Lotus Outreach International and $30,000 to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
At his previous it employer, Sam Darwish saw a recurring customer need: an opportunity to break up the way the company bought, delivered, and serviced hardware for its clients. So in 2010, Darwish founded Skinny IT. The Frisco-based company employs 50 people worldwide, serves 150 clients, and is expected to generate eight-figure revenue by year end, Darwish says.
Founder and CEO; Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, POWERHANDZ Inc.
For athletes, competition boils down to winning and losing. Many athletes who are customers of POWERHANDZ Inc. certainly see a winner in the Dallas-based company—a maker and distributor of sports training products, including performance-boosting gloves.
"We design products that really help athletes perform better," says Danyel Surrency Jones, whose startup launched in 2015.
In 2007, Andrew Reiss bought a printing press with the dream of starting a successful company. He had no idea how to use it, so he hired a guy from craigslist to teach him. Popular Ink, which specializes in printing on food-industry items, started in a barn, with Reiss filling every role from CEO to janitor.
In 2008, Sachin Nayyar set out to offer a cybersecurity service integrating behavior analytics. "We … [said], 'Why don't we build a behavior for every user and machine, and see when there are anomalies?'" Nayyar says.
Alex Danza says he saw a lack of innovation in the U.S. motor-coach industry. So he founded Dallas-based Vonlane, which provides first-class luxury bus service between Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio.
Carrying slightly more business than leisure passengers, each of the company's buses has fewer than two dozen seats, plus amenities like complimentary food and drink, an on-board attendant, Wi-Fi, satellite TV, and a conference room.
President and CEO, The Bill Shaddock Cos.
William Shaddock, The Bill Shaddock Cos.
Bill Shaddock took one of his biggest business risks during the 2008 financial crisis. Shaddock used his strong cash position to expand into new markets and scoop up talent as others floundered. "I continued to aggressively grow while other people were hunkered down," he says.
VARIDESK originated when founder Dan Flaherty, diagnosed with sciatic nerve pain that made it tough for him to sit, tried to find a reasonably priced, easily assembled stand-up desk. Long story short, he couldn't find one.
Craig Hall has been an entrepreneur since he bought a small rooming house at age 18 to rent out in his hometown of Ann Arbor, Mich. One thing led to another and Hall, who moved his company to Dallas in the early 1980s, had amassed a portfolio worth $4 billion by the age of 35.
But it hasn't always been easy. He filed for bankruptcy in 1992, and had to rebuild. A year later he was married to Kathryn Hall, an attorney and co-founder of the North Texas Food Bank who joined him in the business.
Today their company called the HALL Group has diversified interests in real estate, financial lending, hospitality, winemaking, art collecting, and investments. "He's exciting to work with and exasperating to work with at times," Kathryn says.
Innovation is always part of the mix in the HALL Group businesses, like the automated optical scanners used for sorting grapes at their California vineyard (photo at left). And Craig, who owns two electric cars, is currently studying driverless vehicles and flying cars with the hopes they'll eventually become a HALL Park amenity.
In his two years at the helm, Barclay Berdan has led a number of entrepreneurial efforts at Arlington-based Texas Health Resources.
As CEO of a faith-based nonprofit that's now the region's predominant healthcare provider—its market share is nearly 28 percent—Berdan has expanded THR's behavioral health services, forged innovative partnerships with Aetna and UT Southwestern, and implemented a "reliable care blueprint" focused on improving outcomes of all stripes.
Founder, Vice Chairman, and CEO, Triumph Bancorp Inc.
When then-28-year-old Aaron Graft moved to snap up Dallas' troubled Equity Bank during the Great Recession, his plan was to refocus the bank on commercial real estate lending. By the time the drawn-out acquisition process was finally over in late 2010, however, it made more sense for the revamped institution to target commercial finance instead.


Do you have an hour? That's all you need for this easy project. Sheets of clay tinted with alcohol make the most beautiful bracelets. If you are not a clay crafter, have no fear. You do not need clay tools to create these bracelets. Zoom to the bottom of this page where I'll tell you how to use everyday supplies in place of clay tools.
Unlike my recent tutorial for Liquid Clay and Alcohol Ink Bracelets, the following tutorial gives instructions for working with solid polymer clay and alcohol ink. Very much like my Ink and Clay Spoon Earrings, the results of staining the clay are completely random but also can be controlled. That sounds contradictory but I'll explain that in the steps below.
Wearing plastic gloves, you can actually move the ink around as if you were finger painting. I've never had so much fun with ink and clay. I guess that explains why I've created more than two dozen projects with this technique. Somebody stop me. I may have to start an Etsy page!
step 1 - Roll wasabi clay on the #4 setting of the conditioning machine. Cut a strip of paper 7/8" wide or about .50" less than the width of your metal bracelet form if you use a different one. The strip should be 1" longer than you need to allow for fitting the form and handling the clay ends.
step 2 - Squirt red and blue alcohol ink on a ceramic tile. Mist the ink with just a bit of pure alcohol.
step 3 - Wearing plastic gloves, place your clay strip face down on the wet ink. With your first contact, the ink colors may be lighter than you like without enough definition - almost watered down. Wait a few seconds. The alcohol will begin to evaporate. Place the clay on it again and you will see very different results - deeper color and more effects. You can have complete control. If you don't like your results at any time, spray alcohol on the clay and dab at it with a paper towel to remove ink. You can continue to adjust colors and placement by doing this.
step 4 - You can also control color placement by spraying alcohol on the tile, touching your gloved finger to it, then rubbing across the clay to blend colors. Dab at the clay with more color from the tile to create the mix you like.
step 5 - When you're finished with your project and the ink dries on the tile, keep it for future projects. Alcohol ink is pricey but it does go a long way especially if you save remnants like this. To reuse, just spritz with pure alcohol to make it fluid and reusable.
step 6 - Allow the ink on your clay strip to dry completely. Apply Bake and Bond to the bracelet form. Do not use thick applications or spread it close to the edges of the metal. It will spread on its own as you lay down the clay strip.
step 7 - Place the center of your clay strip to the center of the metal bracelet form. Smooth the middle of the clay to the form all the way to the back bracelet edges. Check to be sure any bubbles between the two layers are smoothed out.
step 8 - Using a blade, push against the edge of the metal form to cut away excess clay.
step 9 - With your bare fingers, smooth the clay edges around the top and bottom of the form.
step 10 - Using a fine brush, apply gold ink in an irregular pattern. If the lines of the ink are too defined, dip the brush in pure alcohol, blot slightly and blend the ink edges with the brush to diffuse the lines. Use a light touch when applying the metallic ink so you don't dilute the underlying colors.
step 11 - Bake the bracelet in a 275 degree oven for 30 minutes. Allow it to cool completely. The finished project can be lightly buffed with a Dremel or other buffer, or coated with a glaze.
The intro to this page talks about conditioning clay with a conditioning machine before beginning. That just means blending the clay. One of its ingredients is plasticizer. It's important that the plasticizer is spread evenly throughout the clay. This will prevent your baked project from cracking or doing other unpredictable things. If you don't have a machine, roll out the clay with something round, like a metal or plastic rolling pin from the dollar store. Work on a ceramic tile or other smooth surface. Don't use a rolling pin that you've used on clay for food preparation. Roll the clay in one direction, fold it over then roll it in the opposite direction. It should take 20 rolls or more. You will feel when it is ready to work with because it will sheet nicely, feel soft and will be very pliable.
You can substitute a craft knife wherever a blade is called for in the above steps. Cut the strip from your thick clay. To roll the clay to equal a #4 setting on the Sculpey conditioning machine, align two long strips of 65 lb. card stock along both sides of your clay. The strips should consist of four layers of card stock each to create the proper thickness. Staple the ends to hold them together. Tape the strips to your work surface to prevent them from moving. With your roller ends on the white strips, gently roll across the clay until it is the thickness of the card stock. If the long clay edges spread over the card stock, trim them again and roll again. Use the craft knife to trim the thinned clay strip to the appropriate width.
Got ink stained clay scraps? Don't throw them out! Conditioning them will blend the ink colors into one solid shade which can be used again to apply ink designs.
Many patterns can be created with alcohol ink depending on how you set the clay onto the liquid. Experiment with scraps before beginning your project. If you create a color combination you don't like, you can remove or alter it by spraying the tile with plain alcohol ink and placing the clay face down onto it and swirling it around.
Piñata metallics require thorough mixing so be sure to shake the container until you hear the mixing ball working inside.
Utensils used for clay should not be used with food.

A Big Ride in Cowtown
Things to Do, Special Events
By Rush Olson
Historically, when we think of "riding" in Fort Worth, we think of people wearing cowboy hats and holding reins. Recently, however, riders wearing helmets and clutching handlebars have taken on a higher profile in the city. And there's a big – you might even say "gran" - event headed to town that promises to raise it to a whole new level.
History Behind the Race
"The Gran Fondo-style race has been a growing, and started in Europe, and Italy in particular. It's more of a festival," said Fort Worth Chef Lanny Lancarte of the bicycle race (and more) set for Saturday, March 30. Its name incorporates not only its Italian heritage, but also one of the biggest names in American cycling: Gran Fondo Hincapie.
"About a year and a half ago, I wanted to do this ride in Fort Worth," explained Lancarte, an longtime cyclist who participates in a local cycling club and has even served as resident chef on a cycling/culinary tour of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. "I called the Hincapie group to consult on my race, because I wanted to just do it myself and have a homegrown Fort Worth race. And they were so interested in Fort Worth and what I had built already. Then they asked me if they could just do their race here and I can be a partner."
George Hincapie competed in 17 Tour de France races during his career as a professional cyclist and the company he and his brother Rich run extends its reach into several areas of the sport. On the event side, they operate races like the one they'll host in North Texas, and the Hincapie name won't be the only one cycling devotees will recognize. Two of George Hincapie's former teammates, Lance Armstrong and two-time Olympian Christian Vande Velde, will join him in the field.
"Getting to ride next to Lance and Christian and George and then be at the festival while they're roaming around, hanging out, I think that's a draw for people that are just fans of theirs," said Lancarte.
Despite the Hincapies' world-class pedigree and guests, they don't limit their gran fondo experience to competitive riders.
During the Race
"All rides in the Gran Fondo Hincapie series offer 15-mile, 50-mile, and 80-mile routes. The ride is open to all ages and skill levels," said George Hincapie via email.
Those riders will pedal through much of west Fort Worth, with the longer distances continuing south.
"We are pretty excited about the course in general. We work and live at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains and do not often get the chance to ride in the wide-open plains that our course will offer in Fort Worth," said Hincapie. "Sky Road on the Medio Course and North Pearson Street/Hwy 2331 on the Gran Course will certainly give us the opportunity to enjoy 360-degree views of the Texas countryside. The second KOM (King of the Mountains) section will be a great chance for riders to challenge their speed over rolling terrain. We are also looking forward to visiting communities like Crowley and Godley along the way."
The on-course experience includes catered rest stops and live bands, plus a team of SAG vehicles and on-the-bike course marshals. The participants will enjoy more than just the ride, too.
"Something that Hincapie feels really strongly about having as an aspect of their Fondos is that free festival afterwards," noted Lancarte.
"After the ride, we'll have a family festival out on the lawn at the Heart of the Ranch at Clearfork, offering free food and beer for cyclists, as well as their friends and family," added Hincapie. "The festival even has bouncy houses for the kids."
Lancarte family landmark Joe T. Garcia's will host the evening afterparty. There's also a pre-party at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas the night before that features some big names in food.
"The Celebrity Chef Dinner is the best pre-ride meal you'll ever experience," Hincapie said. "Accomplished chefs—many who will ride in the Fondo the next day—share gourmet creations with guests. This year's lineup of chefs include the renowned Biju Thomas, as well as Fort Worth locals Lanny Lancarte of Righteous Foods, Jon Bonnell of Bonnell's Fine Texas Cuisine and Blaine Staniford of Grace."
One doesn't have to ride to buy tickets for the dinner. And for those who do want to ride but don't have any experience, Hincapie says that's just fine.
"We generally suggest a standard road bike that the rider has been training on and is comfortable riding around other cyclists," he said. "As far as routes are concerned, many of our first-timers ride the Medio (50-mile) distance to get a feel for the event and then step up to the Gran (80-mile) at the next event. We ask that participants arrive 90 minutes before the start of the ride to ensure proper time for parking, warming up, staging, etc."
An event that gets Fort Worthians off their couches and onto two wheels fits in with the city's embrace of this form of riding.
"Proceeds from the event benefit FitWorth, a campaign started by Mayor Betsy Price to create a culture of wellness through physical activity and mindful eating," said Hincapie.
"With a big event like this, it is just going to get more people out, training for the ride, out riding their bikes, and being a more cycling-friendly city," said Lancarte.
Fort Worth is already a gateway to some 70+ miles of prime riding surface on the Trinity Trails, and riders traversing them on wheels often pass their traditional counterparts on hooves. The former now have their own big event - a gran fondo, even – to help their sport gallop forward in Fort Worth.

US supports promoting the disabled's rights in Vietnam
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) on cooperation to promote the rights of persons with disabilities in Vietnam was inked in Hanoi on December 11 between the Vietnamese Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID).

Punk-rock summer camp, a.k.a. The Warped Tour, came to our backyard this year — Dodger Stadium, to be precise — which, along with the presence of Joan Jett, was just enough reason to brave the 90+ temps and the slimy/sweaty/shirtless 'hawk jocks Wednesday! Of course, our fave babe with a Bad Rep didn't go on till the end of the day, but there were some scorching performances — NOFX, Anti-Flag, Underoath — to tide us over. And while the fest may be punky, it was all about gettin' funky in the Dr. Mad Vibes Medicine Cabinet tent, where jam band Trulio Disgracias were joined by their boys Fishbone's Angelo Moore and Norwood Fisher. Talk about hot. In the shady backstage area, artists and crew got their grub on while being entertained by a nerdy dude singing lounge-style Ramones covers. Everybody was chowin' with cutlery made from sustainable agriculture (potato and corn) as part of Warped's new "eco-friendly initiative" — which also includes bio-diesel fuel for its tour buses and a small solar-powered stage sponsored by Hot Topic. Who knew the black-nail-polish set could be so PC?
Primped Out
Shaquille O'Neal returned to L.A. last Thursday to host the King of Bling custom-car competition, a General Motors event at Paramount Studios' "New York" lot hosted by party boys extraordinaire The Alliance. There were lots of tricked-out rides with big rims and even bigger egos behind the wheel — and, of course, sexy, skimpy-frocked ladies. More where they came from on Friday, when The Alliance hosted the grand opening of the new-and-improved club Les Deux, attracting the likes of Joaquin Phoenix, Ryan Seacrest, Nick Stahl, Crispin Glover (who looked sharp in a perfectly tailored pinstriped suit and slicked-back hair) and the Hilton gals. The new Deux, now owned by Lonnie Moore (Dolce, Geisha House), Sylvain Bitton and Mike "Boogie" Malin (currently on CBS' Big Brother) is pure class, with cushy black-leather couches and crimson candelabra-style lighting. When we left, there was a cluster of fiendish fashionistas clammering to get past the velvet rope, which you can bet will be a nightly occurrence with the place's new menu of French pastry edibles and club kings such as promoter Tommy Alastra (Privilege,The Lobby)sweetening the spot soon.
Lofty Ambitions
Never thought we'd be partying on Hollywood and Western again, but the corner that used to house the original, infamously smoky Hollywood Billiards served as the loftlike hub for the birthdays of promoter Stephen Hauptfuhr,Club Planet's Julian Leuthold and a handful of other cool Cancers last Saturday. The bash was also a screening for guerrilla filmmaker Burke Roberts' latest, Insult to Injury, a surrealist art flick shown in his new mobile screening room, the Engine.Things were even more revved up in the adjoining room, where Black Eyed Peas' DJ Poetpacked the dance floor along with David Orlando & Jason Mason of the Dub Club.We soon realized the very same room used to be a cheap Chinese clothing store where we'd bought some Lycra gauchos only a year earlier. Now that's surreal.


Back in 2004, before we had multiple phones and online reservations, we were making a lot of changes. At that time I was not only Santa Barbara Adventure Company's head guide; I was also the head reservationist, the logistics coordinator, the field coordinator and the chief van washer. Plus I had just got engaged and had a wedding to help plan — something had to give. Business was booming and it was time to bring someone on full-time to manage the day-to-day operations in the office. Enter my first full-time employee – the amazing and talented Christie Renick, Office Manager 2004-2006. What is she up to today? Let's find out.
I knew Mike from a short stint at Naturalists At Large, and one day when he ventured down the coast for a surf session it came up while we were out in the water that he needed an office manager and I needed a good job. It was fate!
What was the best part of the job?
The best part of the job was describing the unique adventures we offer to potential guests, hearing them get excited about the activities, and feeling the satisfaction of being able to answer their questions while quelling any concerns they might have – like when a parent wanted to sign their child up for surf lessons but was nervous about the ocean. But it was also always great after a big trip came to an end and we got awesome feedback from our guests. Especially with the teambuilding or big wine country tours – there are so many details to manage and it felt good when that work paid off.
I had only moved to southern California a year or so before taking the job, so I didn't really know the area at all, and it was great to become familiar with both the city of Santa Barbara and surrounding areas. I also learned how far good customer service really goes. When you spend that much time on the phone with people, you get really good at being able to figure out people's needs and then take care of them. The best thing about my time as office manager was that I got to help with the website when we updated in 2006, and that led me to where I am today.
What advice would you offer our current office manager?
Get organized and keep good notes. Find a system of doing things that works for you and don't be afraid to amend that system along the way. There are so many details that go into the fantastic trips at SBACo, and guests walk away with great memories that they might cherish their whole lives so it's really important to give guests the best possible experience. There's nothing like a forgotten dietary restriction or bad driving directions to ruin an otherwise perfect adventure.
I am in school for graphic design while working as a freelance writer and designer. I have a blog that I try to write for a few times a week and I'm trying to get my design site built.
Thank you Christie for helping thousands of guests experience amazing adventures! We certainly could not have done it without you.
Tell us your stories about Christie. I am sure she would love to hear from you.

In this training course the potentially dangerous effects of Spatial Disorientation are demonstrated in the motion simulator during short scenario's. It is an essential course for both student pilots and experienced pilots. In contrast to the type specific courses, this training focusses entirely on "pilot perception in flight" and not on procedures and piloting skills.
Unrecognized Spatial Disorientation often leads to loss-of-control, and is still one of the leading causes of aircraft accidents, both in civil and military aviation. The training course makes pilots aware of the conditions (motion, weather, terrain) that can potentially lead to Spatial Disorientation.

The LDS excentres on my Valenta Carbonara had been installed incorrectly by its previous owner which resulted in the control surfaces working loose. I contacted Valenta asking if, or where I could purchase new excentres for my Carbonara. I mentioned I was a Valenta fan flying four of their models (Carbonara, storm, fredy and dogan). I received a complete set of LDS components including servo mounting trays completely free of charge and by return post. Gabriela also asked me to contact them to let them know when all was OK. This I was able to do today as I flew my Carbonara this week while on holiday in Cornwall.

Covid Scotland: Here are the 12 Scottish areas with the highest coronavirus rates this week as Nicola Sturgeon announces restriction change
What is Blue Monday 2022? What date is Blue Monday and what does it mean
Coronavirus in Scotland: Lockdown restrictions easing is 'potentially problematic' if the Indian variant is highly transmissible says Linda Bauld
Professor Linda Bauld says that the lockdown restrictions easing is 'potentially problematic' if the Indian variant is more transmissible than others we have seen in Scotland so far.
By Beth Murray
Monday, 17th May 2021, 10:00 am
Speaking on BBC Good Morning Scotland Professor Bauld of the University of Edinburgh, said we don't know precise numbers of the Indian variant in Scotland but that last week there were 35 recorded and it is likely that that figure is higher now.
She said that variant is one of concern for three reasons – transmissibility, ability to evade vaccines and the potential to be a disease of more severity.

She said: "It is certainly as transmissible as the B117 and very likely more so. In fact it may be up to 40 to 50 per cent more transmissible.
"Now if it's 20-30 per cent more transmissible, it's concerning but not a huge worry but if it's more than that it is problematic, particularly at a time when we are opening up.
"Households are mixing and you can see from the latest modelling report from the Scottish government that average contacts - in other words people coming into contact with people outside of their households – of course has increased in recent weeks."
Scotland's coronavirus restrictions: Here's a full list of all lockdown rules ch...
However, with just over 60 people currently in hospital with Covid-19, Prof Bauld said that's "huge progress from even where we were just a few weeks ago."
Hospitality venues can serve alcohol indoors as part of restrictions easing across most of mainland Scotland on Monday.
She said: "We think from all the studies, including studies in Scotland that the vaccines are breaking that trajectory between cases and people going into hospital.
"But there is a lag, and it is fairly recent that we've seen these rises, so that's why efforts have been made – not just for testing, identifying those cases and supporting people to self-isolate – but also making vaccines more available to younger age groups in those hot spots and I think that's proportionate."
She went on to say that even though the first dose of the vaccine doesn't kick in for two weeks it is important – particularly in Glasgow and Moray – that the vaccines are delivered to young people as soon as possible because "even in the face of different variants we don't have any evidence that the vaccine will not protect against severe disease."

Q: MySQL: How to perform an action if a unique field is already used with INSERT INTO I'm using the MySQL statement INSERT INTO to insert data into my table. I have several unique fields such as username and email. I want to insert data, but if a unique field is already taken (say somebody tries to use an already existing username) I want to perform an action.
Say redirect the page, or set a session. At the moment my code just acts like it inserts, but then obviously does nothing as the field is unique. I've tried the belowcode but I'm having no luck.
// Add the data to the table 'users'
mysql_query("INSERT INTO users
(username, password, email, dob, gender) VALUES('$username', '$cleansedPassword', '$email', '$dob', '$gender') ")
or header( 'Location: index.php' ) ;

header( 'Location:  SignUp.php' ) ;

A: well I have not worked on returning error from mysql but if mysql query is not true it will return the error....  you can use that to check whether it is actually added or error returned and in case of error - you can redirect accordingly - it will take 2 more statements rather then just one line statement. but that is right way as i far as I know

A: mysql_affected_rows — Get number of affected rows in previous MySQL operation
If the number of affected rows is zero, you know that the insert statement didn't work.
mysql_query("INSERT INTO users
(username, password, email, dob, gender) VALUES('$username', '$cleansedPassword', '$email', '$dob', '$gender')");

if(mysql_affected_rows() == 0){
     header( 'Location: index.php' )
}else{
     header( 'Location:  SignUp.php' )
}


Background: Ultrasonography has been shown to accurately predict the optimal insertion site, depth and needle angle for epidural catheter insertion[1,2]. The purpose of this study was to explore the opinion of obstetric anesthesiologists with respect to the emerging use of ultrasound for labour epidural placement and to identify barriers that prevent its widespread use.
Methods: SOAP members were invited to participate in an online survey. Respondents were questioned regarding demographics, practice particulars and use of ultrasonography for labour epidurals. They were also questioned concerning the utility of ultrasound in particularly challenging patients and whether it should become standard of care.
Results: The response rate was 27.5% (319/1161). The majority of respondents both trained and practice in the USA (265 [83%]), with the next highest response coming from Canada (28 [9%]). Approximately half (174 [57%]) of the respondents work in a university affiliated hospital. 99 (33%) respondents had previously used ultrasound for labour epidural placement. These responders were more likely to be younger, in practice fewer than 10 years, and Canadian. The most commonly perceived indication to use ultrasound was obesity, followed by failure for greater than 1 hour. 66 respondents (22%) would not use ultrasound under any circumstances. 182 (61%) respondents believe that ultrasound is unnecessary for labour epidural placement. 188 (63%) believe that it is too slow. 102 (34%) believe that it is too expensive. 42 (14%) think that ultrasound guided epidural placement will become standard of care at tertiary hospitals during their careers. However, only 18 (6%) think that it should become standard of care. The respondents who believe it will become standard of care were more likely to be Canadian than American (40.7% vs 9.2% [p<0.001]), be in practice for fewer than 10 years (p=0.005), have already used it (p=0.01) and have had specific training in neuraxial ultrasound (p=0.002). 85 (28%) respondents have had training in neuraxial ultrasound. Of these, only 9 (3%) have had more training than an in-service or workshop. 246 (82%) replied that their anesthesia department owned at least one ultrasound, and 94 (31%) had three or more. However, only 61 (20%) said that one was reserved for anesthesia use on the labour ward.
Conclusion: We found significant variation in the opinions of obstetric anesthesiologists concerning the emerging role of ultrasound for use in labour epidurals. Although few believe that ultrasound should become standard of care, many believe that there are specific indications for which it would be helpful. A lack of specific training in neuraxial ultrasound techniques as well as limited access to devoted ultrasound machines may be preventing more widespread use.

The Dark Side of Camelot by Seymour M. Hersh
Download The Dark Side of Camelot Study Guide
(Literary Masterpieces, Critical Compilation)
Few would doubt that The Dark Side of Camelot will rank high among the most controversial books of the 1990's. Its publication late in 1997 was marked by unprecedented public notice, including a ten-page cover story in Time magazine. Seymour M. Hersh is a reporter whose exposure of the My Lai massacre won him a Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting, as well as being the author ofThe Price of Power: Kissinger in the Nixon White House (1983), which received the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Award. In The Dark Side of Camelot, he assesses the presidency of John F. Kennedy in the light of his research.
Early in the book, Hersh sets the tone for much of what is to follow by telling how Robert Kennedy, immediately upon his brother's assassination on November 22, 1963, had the combinations on John Kennedy's locked files changed because he "understood that public revelation of the material in his brother's White House files would forever destroy Jack Kennedy's reputation as president, and his own as attorney general."
Hersh then goes on to rattle various skeletons in the Kennedy closet, including John Kennedy's alleged marriage to Durie Malcolm in 1947, his failure to obtain a divorce following this alleged marriage, his complicity in a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) plot to assassinate Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, his prior knowledge of the CIA's assassinations of the Congo's Patrice Lumumba and the Dominican Republic's Rafael Trujillo, and his involvement in the plot to assassinate South Vietnam's Ngo Dihn Diem. The files, according to Hersh, would also reveal that Kennedy struck a secret deal with Russian premier Nikita Khrushchev to save face during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October, 1962. This compromise remained secret for the next quarter of a century.
One must ask what has happened to the damning files of which Hersh speaks. Would they not eventually have been placed in the Kennedy Library in Massachusetts? Would other scholars and researchers not have mined them for all the scandal that Hersh suggests was in them? Can they have disappeared totally and forever? Hersh addresses but never fully answers these questions in the book's epilogue.
Hersh also alleges that Kennedy's father bought the West Virginia primary for his son and that Kennedy money was funneled into the organized crime syndicate in Chicago through mobsters Sam Giancana and Johnny Rosselli to ensure both union and mob support of the Kennedy ticket in Illinois. Hersh further alleges irregularities in the handling of campaign funds, a charge made difficult to substantiate, Hersh contends, by the failure of the Kennedy camp to keep books.
Over and above all this, Hersh delves into John Kennedy's voracious sexual appetites and the effect they had on national security, particularly in the light of the fact that Kennedy supposedly was consorting sexually with women linked to the mob and with at least one known spy. One of his paramours, Judith Campbell Exner, supposedly carried $250,000 in Kennedy cash to Chicago and turned it over to Rosselli and Giancana, who was also sexually involved with Exner, to be used to help solidify Illinois' Democratic ticket. Hersh goes into detail about a dinner that Exner and Kennedy had in Kennedy's Georgetown residence when Jacqueline Kennedy was away. He acknowledges in his notes that this account is drawn from Kitty Kelley's piece in the February 29, 1988, issue of People magazine. Especially interesting is the title of Kelley's story: "The Dark Side of Camelot."
Connected to Hersh's obsession with Kennedy's promiscuity is the allegation that John Kennedy suffered for more than thirty years from venereal diseases and that information about his general health, which admittedly was less than vigorous, was systematically withheld from the voting public. It has been documented that Kennedy suffered from Addison's disease, which reduces the...

Green chemistry is also known as sustainable chemistry, and it prevents pollution at the molecular level. As well as leaving no waste to clean up it's also about creating no waste in the chemical creation process. This may sound complicated but all it means is that they're designing processes so that the final product contains the maximum proportion of the starting materials. Basically this means to be using methodologies that do not produce hazardous by-products in their processes. Avoid using solvents, separation agents or other auxiliary chemicals as these often produce a lot of waste. This includes things such as running chemical reactions at room temperature wherever possible. This is about using RENEWABLE materials rather than depletable feedstocks such as petroleum, natural gas, coal and materials from mining operations. Obviously it's best to create products that break down so they don't accumulate in the environment.
Real time monitoring and control during chemical syntheses eliminates the formation of by-products and thus waste. There is the certification from the Biological Farmers of Australia which includes non-plant ingredients. This is because organics is about plants and not minerals such as zinc oxide and clays etc.
In terms of the Miessence GREEN CHEMISTRY PRODUCTS they have the Australian Certified Organic cosmetics standards logo which is 70-95% certified organic. CLICK HERE AND INVEST IN MIESSENCE DESERT FLOWER SHAMPOO OR ANY MIESSENCE PRODUCTS NOW TO SAVE UP TO 40% OFF!

Olay regenerist replenishing cream is a rich, non-greasy formula that intensely hydrates and regenerates skin's appearance.
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring sugar-related nutrient which is important in normal joint function. When Bio-Glucosamine MEGA is taken by mouth, Glucosamine and Chondroitin are absorbed into the body and taken in the blood to the joints.
People with damage to joints through osteo or rheumatoid arthritis may benefit from taking Bio-Glucosamine MEGA. Bio-Glucosamine MEGA is generally well tolerated but may rarely cause gastrointestinal disturbance in susceptible individuals. As there are no dietary sources of Glucosamine there is no Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA).
Green chemistry is extremely safe, and obviously much better than the old school 'destroy the planet' chemistry processes. For the past forty years universities have not taught chemistry students anything about toxicity. He quoted: "Any chemist can make a new molecule, potentially even the most potent neurotoxin or carcinogen in human history. In the last decade or so, there has been a movement in the chemical industry with the emergence of this 'green chemistry'. Minimize the potential for accidents Design chemicals and their physical form – solid, liquid or gas to minimise the potential for accidents including explosions, fires and releases into the environment.
The Miessence green chemistry products contain safe chemicals that will not harm you or you family. Miessence have only a few green chemistry products, as the rest are certified organic to food standards (good enough to eat!) or have the BFA logo (contain minerals). There are the Australian Certified Organic food products (such as the entire skin care range – which was the first certified organic skin care range in the world). Every time you drink a glass of water or juice, you just include up to 20 drops of Oxy Pure Liquid. It is produced within the body but the capacity to manufacture sufficient levels declines with age. Glucosamine stimulates the formation of normal joint cartilage, and provides an anti-inflammatory effect, and Chondroitin helps maintain the correct fluid balance in cartilage, as well as acting as a joint lubricant.
Of the various forms in which Glucosamine may be available, Glucosamine sulphate is the most readily absorbed (>90%) from the digestive tract, and the most readily incorporated into joint tissues. Bio-Glucosamine MEGA is not recommended for children and should not be taken by pregnant or lactating women. The daily intake recommended by Pharma Nord is based on data published in scientific journals focusing on over 20 clinical trials investigating the beneficial effects of glucosamine sulphate in those with arthritis. Nowhere in their education are they ever required to have any knowledge of how to look at the molecule and say – gee whiz this might be a carcinogen – I might not want to make it!" We are not teaching our university students to question the toxicity of what they are making! With the exception of melting the vegan friendly beeswax – all Miessence products are created without high temperatures.

Dragonflies? A possible composite type in Egyptian tomb scenes and its implications
Linda Evans, Philip Weinstein
The Egyptology literature sometimes refers to the presence of "dragonflies" in Egyptian tomb scenes, but is this identification accurate? Many of the creatures labelled as such are morphologically incorrect, displaying antennae and/or legs that are too long, with bulbous abdomens, and/or extra wings. Despite these anomalies, some images do indeed resemble dragonflies, especially those found in tomb scenes in later periods. Here we present the first known identification of a dragonfly nymph in an Old Kingdom scene at Saqqara, which reveals Egyptian knowledge and observation of the natural history of these insects. Furthermore, while butterflies appear early in the artistic record, "dragonflies" are not represented in marsh scenes until the late Fifth Dynasty. Their occurrence thus corresponds with a period of environmental change in Egypt that was marked by unusually low Nile floods. The warm backwaters that resulted from the changed river conditions will have encouraged a substantial increase in the range and quantity of common aquatic insects, such as mayflies, midges, mosquitoes, as well as their predators: dragonflies and damselflies. We propose that heightened awareness of these insects in the late Fifth Dynasty led to the introduction of the 'dragonfly' motif and that, in addition, it represents a composite type incorporating the features of a range of hovering, fast-moving insects that are reliably found near water. Other composite insect types have been proposed in Egyptian art, such as the "bee" motif and the use of Monarch butterflies to represent the insects as a group. The "dragonfly/flying insect" image may similarly represent a merging of ecologically related species in order to represent a type, with variability in the features of the motif indicating the artists' conflation of visually- and behaviourally-similar marsh insects. The humble "dragonfly" thus offers us unexpected insights into changing environmental conditions during the Old Kingdom period and the impact of animals on Egyptian cultural expression.

When you are positive the airline ticket is lost, make contact with your travel agent or the airline business, if you have bought your ticket on your personal. Book domestic travel tickets (this applied to some international travel as properly) as early as you can.
You can modify a ticket oneself by calling an airline straight or ask an agent who issued a ticket enable you on that. Paper ticket are very valuable when traveling internationally as some nations need the proof of return travel, and a paper ticket includes such details. If the ticket is issued by a travel agency, the airline may possibly not be capable to make adjustments and may perhaps ask to speak to a travel agency. You almost constantly will have to spend an exchange charge as effectively as the difference in ticket cost if your new ticket is extra pricey than your first ticket.

Doctors should take lead in push to curb climate change – experts
Source: Thomson Reuters Foundation
LONDON, Feb 28 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Doctors should take the lead in supporting political efforts to cut the pace of climate change and encouraging more people to see the problem as a crucial issue for public health, experts say.
With the 68th World Health Assembly coming up in May in Geneva, countries are poised to adopt the world's first resolution on air pollution and health, in an effort to reduce premature deaths linked to air pollution.
Studies have found that air pollution can worsen a variety of health problems, from heart disease to strokes, said Carlos Dora, coordinator of public health and the environment at the World Health Organization (WHO).
That suggests doctors should take action to try to curb air pollution and climate change, he said.
« Climate change is a big factor (in determining peoples') health in the short term and doctors should take notice, » he said.
In particular, « there are a number of challenges to the capacities of current health systems to respond to these health issues, so doctors should be prepared », he said.
For a growing number of doctors, « health and climate change are no longer seen as different issues and are almost seen as synonymous because there is more evidence and data out there that link the two, » he said.
A survey of members of the American Thoracic Society, which represents 15,000 physicians and other medical professionals who work on respiratory disease and related issues, found that the majority were already seeing health effects in patients that they believe are linked to climate change.
Seventy-seven percent of respondents said they have seen an increase in chronic diseases in patients that are linked to air pollution, and 65 percent said they believed climate change was directly relevant to patient care, according to the survey, conducted by the Center for Climate Change Communication at George Mason University and published in the February edition of the journal Annals of the American Thoracic Society.
« There is more pressure for the health sectors to prepare themselves on how they can help the population in dealing with the diseases related to air pollution, » Dora said.
Dora said the resolution that WHO is working on would encourage health systems to have a more proactive response in dealing with health issues related to climate change, for instance by sharing health data about levels and sources of air pollution with other countries and prioritising ways to curb emissions.
Health care providers should reach out and work with other health sectors in other countries to tackle these issues because working on a global scale could help find and implement solutions more quickly, the resolution suggests.
The resolution is currently being negotiated and is expected to be adopted in May at the assembly.
This is not the first time that health and climate experts are encouraging doctors to see health and climate as related issues and to advocate for action on climate change.
A group of military and medical experts published an article in the British Medical Journal in 2008 urging doctors to take a leading role in the highlighting the dangers of climate change, which could lead global security threats and health problems from worsening allergies to injuries from more frequent weather-related disasters.
Today, six of the top 10 polluted cities in the world are in India, with New Delhi topping the list for particulate matter in the air over a year, according to data from WHO. New Delhi's annual average concentration of particulate matter registered 153 micrograms per cubic metre, with 25 micrograms per cubic metre considered a safe limit by WHO.
Dora said more doctors in India and China, also well-known for its poor air quality, should step up to help tackle climate change and its health impacts in their cities.
« In general, doctors [in India and China] are not very engaged, » he said. But « India is working on getting the doctor's engagement in climate change responses and preparedness for what could happen in the future. »
Dora said he is optimistic the expected new international resolution on health and climate change could improve preparedness to deal with climate change.
« This resolution will provide the health sector with the equipment, tools, knowledge and capacity to respond to climate-related health issues in their area, while drawing upon resources and ideas from other players, » he said. « There's still a lot the health systems can do, though, to adapt to climate change. »

All the latest scandals and problems in the UK can go here.
Seems this is done only to spite the royal family ? Who knows ?
The 37-year-old social climber has been scolded behind the scenes time and time again for pumping her far-left political views in public, and now she is branding the baby-to-be as genderless, called a "theybie." Well, Queen Elizabeth II isn't amused, and she made sure the Duchess got a huge reality check.
..the former D-List actress has decided to cause the 92-year-old Queen grief by announcing she'll be raising the child as genderless.
It appears the Monarch and her advisers have washed their hands of Meghan Markle.
Political pronouncements by the Royal Family are considered a violation of protocol, with members required to be publicly neutral in order to maintain widespread support for the Monarchy as an institution. Reports are the Queen tried to get Meghan as much help as possible to make her transition smooth, but it all came to a head when the 37-year-old social climber refused the help Her Majesty sent and went rogue time and time again.
Queen Elizabeth sent Samantha Cohen, her beloved assistant private secretary and press spokesperson, to straighten out Meghan Markle. Cohen, who is nicknamed "Samantha the Panther" for her no-nonsense approach to royal protocols and duty, found out quickly the former cable TV actress had no intention of serving the British people.
It was reported back in December that Cohen resigned and is scheduled to leave after the baby is born. And of course, "Samantha the Panther" let the Queen know Meghan's many faux pas was not done from ignorance but out of spite for the traditional role the Monarchy stands for in England.
