The Boston bicycle accident lawyers at the Boston Law Offices of Gilbert R. Hoy, Jr. and Affiliates have extensive experience and skill in handling all types of Massachusetts personal injury claims and lawsuits on behalf of injured Massachusetts bicyclists. People riding a bicycle have the right to use Massachusetts sidewalks, bike lanes and crosswalks without the fear that they may be struck by a motor vehicle. Often, however, Massachusetts bicyclists are struck by negligent operators of motor vehicles. That is when our team of highly skilled Boston, MA bicycle accident lawyers and Boston, Mass bicycle accident wrongful death lawyers can help you.
Massachusetts bicyclists are subject to the same traffic laws and regulations in Massachusetts that apply to Massachusetts motor vehicles. There are also additional Massachusetts statutes regarding bicycling in particular. Bicyclists have the right to expect that drivers of Massachusetts motor vehicles will operate their motor vehicles in a fashion that respects the rights of bicyclists to operate safely. When this does not happen, and a bicyclist is injured, our Boston, MA bicycle accident lawyer specialists are fully prepared, ready and able to protect a Massachusetts bicycle accident victim's rights and ensure that justice is realized.
In 2009, Massachusetts Governor Duval Patrick enacted new laws pertaining to bicycle safety. The new laws add additional precautions that drivers must take, and provide greater protection for cyclists.
Safer Signaling: Although Massachusetts bicyclists have always been required to use hand signals when stopping or turning, the new law permits bicyclists to forgo hand signals if both hands are needed to operate brakes, shifters or in order to steer.
Riding Two Abreast Permitted: The old law required bicyclists to ride in single file at all times. The new law permits Massachusetts bicyclists to ride two abreast, so long as all cyclists stay in one lane. However, Massachusetts cyclists must not hinder faster vehicles from passing.
"Dooring" Bicyclists: "Dooring" is when a motorist opens their door into the path of a cyclist. When this happens, Massachusetts cyclists frequently crash or flip over their handlebars, causing serious injuries. Although Massachusetts drivers could previously be sued in civil court or charged in criminal court under certain circumstances, the new law now allows Massachusetts motorists, along with their passengers, to be fined for up to $100 for dooring a Massachusetts cyclist.
Cutting Off Bicyclists After Passing: While the old Massachusetts law only required that motorists stay a safe distance to the left when passing, the new law prohibits a Massachusetts motorist from returning to the right until they have safely cleared the bicyclist.
Squeezing Bicyclists in Narrow Lanes: If a lane is too narrow for a Massachusetts motorist to pass a bicycle at a safe distance while staying in the lane, the motorist must use another lane to pass. If passing in another lane is also unsafe, the motorist must wait until a safe time to pass.
"Right-Hooking" Bicyclists: A "right-hook" is when a motorist makes an abrupt right turn too close to a bicyclist, causing the cyclist to crash or make an emergency maneuver to avoid crashing. Under the new law, Massachusetts motorists are now prohibited from right hooking a cyclist.
Yielding to Bicycles Before Turning Left or Right: Although Massachusetts motorists are already required to yield to bicycles before turning left, the new law now expressly includes yielding to bicyclists riding to the right of other traffic (on the shoulder of the road). Bicyclists are legally permitted to ride on the shoulder, but they may nevertheless be difficult for Massachusetts motorists to see at times.
Helmet Availability: Massachusetts businesses who rent bicycles are now required to have helmets available to all customers. While children 16 or under are still required to wear helmets, customers may refuse to wear one, so long as they have the option.
Safety Standard for Helmets: The acceptable standard for bicycle helmets is changed to reflect the standards of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Bicycle riding is a popular form of transportation in Massachusetts; however, it can be extremely dangerous. A Massachusetts bicycle accident can stem from a number of circumstances. Bicyclists can be injured in Massachusetts accidents because of collisions with motor vehicles, attacks by dogs, and as a result of defective products. In most cases, a collision with a motor vehicle is caused by the negligence of the operator of the motor vehicle.
The majority of Massachusetts bicycle accidents are caused by negligent Massachusetts motorists who are engaged in irresponsible driving, such as driving under the influence, running a red light, failing to yield the right of way, failing to pay attention to traffic signals and road signs, talking on a cell phone while driving, speeding and racing. In addition, in some cases, defects or performance failures of safety equipment or automotive components can also cause serious Massachusetts bicycle accidents and injuries. These types of Massachusetts bicycle accidents can result in the liability of a manufacturer or distributor for a bicycle accident victim's injuries.
A Massachusetts bicycle accident can easily result in serious or even life-threatening injuries. A motor vehicle may weigh in excess of 3,000 pounds, and a bicycle offers a rider no protection against a collision. Even a bicycle helmet may do little to protect the cyclist in a serious accident, and a cyclist may sustain significant head trauma, brain injury, spinal cord injury, broken bones, lacerations, internal injuries or even wrongful death. In addition, after a Massachusetts bicycle accident, medical bills can become overwhelming. If a loved one has been killed as a result of a Massachusetts bicycle accident, please call our expert team of Boston, MA bicycle accident wrongful death attorneys at 617-787-3700 or email us at info@gilhoylaw.com.
Our Boston, MA bicycle accident attorneys know how to get you the fair and just compensation that you deserve, including payment of your medical bills and lost wages. Call us today at 617-787-3700.
If a Massachusetts bicyclist is hit by a driver insured in Massachusetts, state law provides that there will be up to $8,000 in what is known as personal injury protection benefits (PIP, "no-fault" benefits) which can help pay for medical bills and lost wages of the injured bicyclist. These Massachusetts benefits are available even if the driver involved in the bicycle accident was not negligent. Our Boston, MA bicycle accident lawyers will determine how much the defendant has for insurance coverage, and look for other policies, such as the insurance on a car owned by the bicyclist or a family member, to help pay for the damages arising from your bicycle accident injuries. These Massachusetts damages can include medical bills, lost wages, and money for your emotional pain and suffering caused by the negligence of the responsible operator.
Please call our Boston, MA bicycle accident attorneys today at 617-787-3700. Our Massachusetts bicycle injury lawyers will successfully handle your Massachusetts bicycle accident case, and recover damages on your behalf, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the cost to repair or replace your bicycle.
In Massachusetts, there is a Statute of Limitations that applies to Massachusetts bicycle accident cases, so victims have a limited time in which to file or resolve their Massachusetts cases.
If you believe that you have a legitimate Massachusetts bicycle accident case, you need to act immediately to protect your rights. If you or a loved one has been involved in a Massachusetts bicycle accident, please contact our experienced Boston, Massachusetts bicycle accident attorneys or highly skilled Massachusetts wrongful death lawyers at 617-787-3700 or email us at info@gilhoylaw.com to schedule a free and confidential initial consultation.

Kathleen Jones travelled to the islands of Haida Gwaii, off the northernmost coastline of British Columbia, to talk to a nation who have lived in harmony with their environment for more than ten thousand years.
Their guiding principle 'Yah'Guudang', is about "respect and responsibility, about knowing our place in the web of life and how the fate of our culture runs parallel with the fate of the ocean, sky and forest". The Haida Nation are at the forefront of environmental opposition to the commercial exploitation of the planet and they have a blueprint - the Haida Land Use Vision - for our survival.
Avril Joy, Costa Award-winning novelist.
Norman Nicholson has been described as the greatest Lake District poet since Wordsworth. In his twenties he was a protege of T.S. Eliot and won major awards alongside Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney, who referred to him as 'a fathering voice'.
He was born in the small industrial town of Millom and lived there – in the house where he was born – until he died. Norman's formal education was interrupted by tuberculosis at the age of 16 and he spent almost two years in a sanatorium before returning home, where he lived as an invalid in an attic room at the top of the house, reading, studying and writing. Preoccupations with his health and dependence on his parents made it difficult for him to form relationships with women. Norman was engaged to Enrica Garnier for more than ten years. A relationship with Kathleen Raine produced some of his most lyrical poetry. He was over forty when he met English teacher Yvonne Gardner and their marriage gave him security and happiness.
Norman produced seven collections of poetry, a mass of literary journalism, biography, fiction and criticism as well as best-selling books on the landscape of the Lake District. He was an evangelist for provincialism, defending his life-choices against growing metro-centrism. Isolated and eccentric, he had bitter exchanges with Philip Larkin and George MacBeth. 'Green before the word was coined' he was a fervent environmentalist, not afraid to speak out against the dangers of nuclear power and environmental destruction, and his work has great contemporary relevance.
A unique, gentle spirit with a quirky sense of humour – Norman Nicholson's writings are among the literary treasures of the Lake District.
'I was jealous of her writing - the only writing I have been jealous of.' Virginia Woolf.
Widely acknowledged as New Zealand's finest writer, Katherine Mansfield has an international reputation for her short stories and for her letters and journals - which contain some of her best writing.
Biographer Kathleen Jones gives a vivid portrayal of Mansfield, correcting previous misinterpretations of her illnesses and relationships, and weaving a compelling drama from the detail. The story extends further still, beyond Mansfield's death in 1923, to include the subsequent life of her husband and editor, John Middleton Murry, Drawing astutely on Mansfield's own letters and journals, Jones has crafted a text that is unusually intimate, providing a new kind of picture of this brilliant, original yet fragile writer.
Dr. SARAH SANDLEY The New Zealand Herald.
Margaret Forster is one of the UK's most prolific and respected authors. Born in Cumbria to working class parents in 1938, she wrote her first novel at the age of twenty two. Since then she has published 24 novels (and has another on the way), as well as 9 non-fiction titles - a mixture of award-winning biography and memoir. Her books are all very different - there has never been a formula to attract readers - and perhaps this is the secret of her success. Kathleen Jones, a biographer, poet and fellow Cumbrian, explores Margaret's books against the background of her life; a life divided between the quiet hills of the Lake District and the busy capital city London; between the demands of a lively family, and her own writing career. A Life in Books sets out to answer the questions readers most often want to ask. How has Margaret managed to sustain her career from the nineteen sixties best-seller 'Georgy Girl', to the Orange Prize listed 'Over' in 2006, without doing any of the author events or publicity stunts that publishers expect? Where did the idea for 'Diary of an Ordinary Woman' come from? How autobiographical are her novels? Does Margaret prefer writing biography or fiction? Is she a feminist? And above all, how has she accomplished the juggling act of family and career through a marriage that has lasted more than fifty years? Written originally with an Arts Council grant and published by Northern Lights, the book has now been updated to include all Margaret Forster's recent publications, including illustrations, and is re-published with the author's full consent.
Catherine Cookson: The Biography, Time Warner, Random House Australia.
"Kathleen Jones is a skilled and subtle biographer, who has written grippingly and with great empathy about female hardship and creativity"
"One of the strengths of this thoughtful, sympathetic biography is the way it reminds the reader of the destructive social insecurities of the recent past. . . It is a dramatic and unsettling story and Jones tells it with quiet tact."
"Jones is probing but gentle. She leads us gently through the life until she reaches the moment when she can ask what she calls the serious questions, the ones at the core of Cookson's character"
"Kathleen Jones biography displays all the Cookson virtues. Her narrative is uncluttered and direct, her analysis complex and sometimes surprising. Most importantly she never condescends to her subject."
"This is such a bravura exercise in biography, I would suggest Kathleen Jones not only wins her case but should be awarded costs."
CHARLOTTE CORY, Times Literary Supplement"
"When the book arrived, I started to read it, and quickly saw here was a powerful biographical work of art about a woman whom everything around her conspired to turn into that proverbial rose who blushes unseen in the desert air, who withers and dies, about whom, whether distraught or not, no one cares, but who against all odds wrote her heart and intelligence out, fulfilled her gifts in visual art, and left a large body of valuable fiction and non-fiction (over 100 books). . .
. . .Thinking about the text, I'd like to say that probably this life of a working class impoverished intelligent sensitive young woman in early 20th century is probably not unusual. What is unusual is Jones's refusal to mince words, to present reality under some kind of rose-colored glasses, stubbornly to present endless qualifications and justifications for the horrible outrageous conduct around the girl. Had Austen been able to read this book she might have been startled, but it would have (I like to think) commanded her respect."
Few authors can have had a life as traumatic as Dame Catherine Cookson. Very few can so heroically have overcome such trauma - though the riches and success she achieved came at much personal cost. Her recent death allows at last a full and frank account of her life. One of the best-selling novelists in the world, Catherine Cookson's story is as dramatic as any of her novels. Born in 1906, the illegitimate daughter of a domestic servant, she was brought up on Tyneside in one of the poorest communities of the western world. Her mother once begged barefoot from door to door and they lived in constant fear of the workhouse. Catherine's childhood was marred by violence, abuse, alcoholism, shame and guilt. But Catherine was determined to escape her situation and with enormous courage and determination made her way out of the slums of her childhood. Later, after a severe nervous breakdown and a tragic series of stillbirths and miscarriages, she attempted to'write it all out'. 'The Catherine Cookson Novel' became a new literary genre and all of her 97 novels are still in print. But despite the prodigious achievement, she was still haunted by the failure of her relationship with her mother and riven by religious doubts. Her legendary success and her immense generosity are contrasted with a fuller and darker picture of her life. In writing this biography, many of Catherine Cookson's friends have been willing to talk to the author. But even more importantly, Kathleen Jones has had access to early drafts of Catherine Cookson's own autobiography, hitherto unseen, and hours of privately taped conversation in which she discusses much that she chose after all not to reveal during her lifetime - her tortured feelings for her mother, her mental torment and terrors, and her intense and devastating relationship with Nan Smyth - who almost succeeded in wrecking Catherine's marriage to Tom.
Best-selling author Catherine Cookson created a unique and profoundly affecting literature from the personal tragedies of her working-class upbringing in the industrial North East. Now her acclaimed biographer has written an astonishing account of her search to unravel the greatest secret of Cookson's life — the truth about her father. As the story unfolds, the reader is led to an ever deeper understanding of the demons that drove Cookson to become the most popular novelist of her day. Catherine Cookson said that the shame of her illegitimacy was the driving force behind her compulsion to write. She claimed not to know who her father was but allowed people to believe that he was an aristocrat. Kathleen Jones has at last discovered the truth about the elusive 'Alexander Davies' named on Cookson's birth certificate. She tells a story as surprising and compelling as one of Cookson's own novels and reveals that Catherine not only knew who her father was, but that she used him as the bigamous hero of one of her books, The Gambling Man. Kathleen's search for the truth led her from the mining communities of the North East, to Scotland and America. It is a story of terrible poverty and of the long years of damage visited on three families by the lies and evasions of one charming man. But it is also a story of hope and of reconciliation. Cookson's biographer brings the story of her subject's life, and of the pain that made her, to a final and deeply moving conclusion.
"It is the stuff your English teacher never told you . . . told with such enthralling vividness."
"I . . quickly became captivated. I think Kathleen Jones has done a great job. . And she has a good deal of passion herself, tho' strictly controlled. . . her use of quotes from the women's letters etc was what I admired most. I know to my cost how hard it is to do. Her choices were always judicious - and best of all, automatically urge the reader back to the source from which they came - the aim, I always think , of all biography. . . what a wonderful story it is."
" . . reading it becomes a gripping, almost addictive experience"
"Jones' group biography is a model of organisation and insight . . a lucid, calm and thoughtful account of how physical landscape shapes psychic and cultural space"
"This is a fascinating, marvellous, utterly absorbing book"
The Lake Poets, Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey, have become a literary myth and we are used to looking at the Lake District landscape through its romantic prism. But for their sisters, wives and daughters the view was very different. The Wordsworths lived at Grasmere, the Coleridges and Southeys twelve miles away at Keswick and the women created a kind of extended family that kept the group together long after the men had ceased to be friends. Based on necessity, it was far from the harmonious rustic idyll of the myth. Dorothy Wordsworth's consuming love for her brother William forced Mary, his wife, to compete for her husband's affections for more than forty years. When Coleridge fell in love with Mary's sister, Sarah Coleridge found herself abandoned with three small children, forced to live on the charity of her brother-in-law Robert Southey. For the daughters, the 'legacy of genius' was equally destructive. Dora Wordsworth was sent to boarding school at four to learn to become 'a useful girl in the family' and was not allowed to marry the man she loved until she was thirty-seven and dying from TB. Her childhood friend, the young Sara Coleridge, had to fight disapproval, domestic conflict, unwanted pregnancy, depression, opium and morphine addiction to carve out a career as a writer and editor of national standing.
Their letters and journals form the basis for an illuminating new account of their interconnected lives - their passionate attachments, petty jealousies, the deaths of children, the realities of chronic ill health and barbaric medical practice. They also contribute to a fuller understanding of Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey as all- too-fallible human beings.
"One of the strengths of the book is the way Kathleen Jones maps the links between Christina and other women poets of the time"
"Learning Not To Be First, by Kathleen Jones, has many admirable qualities - moderation, decency, clarity of expression ...... The single focus of Jones's book does allow more room for an analysis of the poems. This she does well, in terms of elaborating her title - Learning Not To Be First - and showing that the primary key to interpreting Christina's life is an understanding of Christian forbearance."
Christina was the youngest of the four Rossetti children, born in England to Italian parents. Although she and her brother, the artist Dante Gabriel, were known as the 'two storms', Christina's passionate nature was curbed in a way that her brother's was not, as she submitted to the social and religious pressures that lay so heavily on Victorian women. Like Elizabeth Barrett Browning, she suffered the tyranny of a loving family. Her sister Maria's influence was described as 'a species of police surveillance', and Christina was always careful never to write anything that would hurt her mother. Often referred to as the 'High Priestess of Pre-Raphaelitism' Christina had a genuine lyric gift that could articulate both the joy of being alive and the bitterness of loss. The loneliness of the unloved was her particular province. As her personal life became increasingly tragic, her output of religious poetry grew. Her desire for poetic excellence and moral excellence were continually in conflict and her poetry betrays the corrosive effect of this struggle. Christina's deliberate self-effacement, Dante Gabriel's portrayal of her as the meek virgin and William Rossetti's role as editor and interpreter of her work have gradually blotted out the passionate lively spirit who wrote with such simplicity and power. Kathleen Jones looks at her life alongside that of other nineteenth-century women writers - notably Emily Bronte, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Emily Dickinson.
..."Well-researched and elegantly written" ........ The Observer.
Margaret Cavendish was the first English woman to write specifically for publication and to consider herself primarily a writer. She cloaked her crippling shyness in extravagant dresses and an exotic public persona. A feminist long before her time, she believed in sexual equality, criticised the role that society assigned to women and even questioned the institution of marriage. Although she, like virtually all women of her time, had little formal education, she wrote, with atrocious spelling, stories, poems, essays, 'fancies' and scientific and philosophical treatises. So controversial was her reputation that when she visited London crowds lined the streets to watch her pass. She was a solitary, gifted and outlandish figure.

Are you ready to take the first step to a happier, healthier you? Welcome! We're looking forward to meeting you.
If you will be coming to visit us for the first time, we ask that you take a moment to complete the necessary forms and print them out for your scheduled appointment. We work very hard to make sure all of our appointments start on time. Having your paperwork complete before you come in will help us do that.
Take a moment to review the forms below. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact our office. We'll be happy to assist you!
Expect to spend 60-90 minutes at your initial consultation including check out time. During this time, Dr. Carrozzella will go over with you the intake forms you filled out prior to your visit to get a better understand about you and your medical history. All labs you bring with you will be reviewed, as well as any medications/supplements you already are prescribed. A personalized treatment plan will often involve further lab testing with either functional medicine labs or a conventional blood draw.
Functional and hormonal medicine consultation services may or may not be covered by your insurance plan. Please check with your insurance prior to your visit. Our office will provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement, but we do not bill your insurance directly. Your insurance typically considers us an "out of network provider." The Florida Center for Hormones and Wellness is not a participating provider in Medicare or Medicaid. Payment is due at the time of service.
Prior to your first visit, we will ask you to get some routine lab tests. It is possible your insurance will cover these tests. You can get your blood drawn in our office and we will send it to the lab your insurance prefers. Or we can provide you with a lab order and you can go directly to the lab.
Not all insurance covers all blood tests. We highly encourage you to check with your insurance prior to assuming your insurance will cover it. If your insurance does not cover the labs, the cost can be quite high. If you do not have insurance or your insurance will not cover your blood work, we offer affordable cash prices for labs. Please contact your Patient Liaison to find out more.
It is our goal to protect you from expensive lab bills. We can help before you get the labs. Unfortunately, once you get labs done, if insurance doesn't cover it, there is not much we can do. Please be prepared.
In the event you are unable to keep your appointment, we request a 24-hour notice that so that we can accommodate other patients waiting for appointments. We understand unforeseen circumstances arise, but you may be charged a fee for missed appointments at the discretion of the practice.
▸ There seems to be a lot of paperwork, why is that?
Like most doctors' offices, Florida Center for Hormones and Wellness has new patient paperwork. Ours is longer than most. To make sure we understand everything that factors into your hormone health, we ask questions that help to explain your overall health, diet, sleep and exercise regime. As you journey to better health, we will ask you to complete surveys at each appointment so that we can monitor your progress in all areas from sleep, weight, energy level, sexual desire and clarity of mind. Often the changes you feel are gradual and it is important for the doctor to be able to see the progress you have made over time to insure you are getting the proper care and the results you desire.
▸ What happens if I do not complete my New Patient Paperwork prior to my visit?
We ask that you complete all the new patient paperwork and send it to our office prior to the visit. This gives the doctor time to review your responses before you come in. If the paperwork is not complete at your initial consultation, we will do our best to accommodate you. If the schedule allows, we can give you the paperwork and you can complete it in our office. However, in some cases, we will need to reschedule your appointment because we won't have the ability to give you the full appointment without impacting other patients. Best bet is to complete the paperwork before you come in for that initial consultation.
▸ Do I have to get blood work before I come in for my initial consultation?
The short answer is yes, but in some circumstances we can work with you. If you have had blood work done recently (within a few months of your appointment), you can send the results to your Patient Liaison, who will find out if it has all the tests we need. If it does have all the tests we need, we can use that. In some cases, we can take your blood the day you start treatment for a baseline, but you must have that approved by your Patient Liaison first. In most cases we recommend that you get your blood work completed one week prior to your initial consultation.
▸ What will happen at my first appointment?
Your initial consult will be one hour, and we will have you do some blood work prior to the appointment. During this time, you will visit with the doctor and share how you have been feeling and your reasons for coming into the office. You will get a recommendation for treatment based on the results of your blood work and the description of your symptoms. We believe in treating the person not the number, meaning that blood work will be done for reference, but your recommendation will be driven largely based your description of how you are feeling. For this reason, we encourage complete openness. If you wish to begin your treatment, you will be able to do so that day.
▸ What if I don't know anything about bio-identical hormones? Will my questions be answered?
Absolutely! We will answer all your questions at your initial consultation. We also encourage our patients to attend a Patient Orientation just prior to their consultation. Patient Orientations are offered twice a month. During the orientation, the doctor will explain what bio-identical hormones are, why they are medically necessary, and how they contribute to the longevity and quality of your life. At the orientation we also describe the other treatments we offer for sexual and overall wellness. This is not a sales session. It is an educational session designed to teach you about your treatment options, so you have more time during your consultation to discuss issues specifically about you! Check out the events calendar for the next Patient Orientation, and please sign up!
▸ How much does treatment cost?
Cost depends on the treatment that is prescribed. We offer solutions for hormone health, sexual wellness, metabolic concerns, and a few aesthetic services. You can choose between a la carte pricing and our membership plan pricing. Membership plan pricing means that we calculate all the treatments you will be getting over a year and we divide the total into 12 monthly payments. The membership option can make it more affordable for you to get the treatments you need without having to come up with all of the costs at once.
▸ If I do the monthly membership plan, does that include monthly appointments?
Office appointments are usually scheduled about 3 – 4 times per year. Phone appointments to review lab results are scheduled about 3 -4 times a year in the first year and less frequently in subsequent years. Patients on membership plans are welcome to schedule appointments to speak to the doctor as needed if issues arise. Payments are made monthly as a convenience and do not correlate with appointments. If you choose a membership plan, we will ask for a credit card that will be charged each month on a specific day using a secure third-party application that stores the card. No credit card numbers are kept in the office.
▸ If I get on a membership plan, am I locked in?
Taking advantage of the membership plan does not lock you into a contract. If you are on a membership plan and want to cancel for any reason, we ask that you do two things: 1) provide written notification of your intent to cancel 30 days prior to the cancellation date, and 2) participate in an exit appointment with the doctor so we can make sure that you are being taken care as you move forward. No refunds are given upon cancellation, and you will not be asked for any additional money after your 30-day written notice.
▸ Can I cancel if I have paid in full for my annual treatment?
If you have paid for your annual treatment in full and you wish to cancel prior to receiving all your treatment, you will get a refund. We ask that you follow the same cancellation policy as membership plans; provide a 30 day written notice and participate in an exit appointment with the doctor so we can be sure that you are well taken care of. Your refund will be processed by your Patient Liaison, who will identify the services you have received and convert those to our a la carte pricing. Then, your total paid will be subtracted from the treatments you received, and you will be reimbursed for the remainder.
Book a consult to see if Hormone Optimization is right for you.

Programming Note: CNN's Anderson Cooper will report live from Iraq this week on the country's historic election. His reports will air at 10 p.m. ET.
"We are living through a watershed moment in the story of freedom," Bush said.
Much pre-war intelligence was wrong -- president accepts responsibility for this and also for reforming intelligence capabilities.
But decision to remove Saddam Hussein remains the right one.
Far more Sunnis -- the minority favored by Saddam Hussein -- will take part in Thursday's election than voted in January.
Spread of freedom to Iraq and the Middle East requires confidence and persistence, but it will yield results.
Freedom in Iraq will inspire reformers from Damascus to Tehran, as the terrorists try to create their own empire from Spain to Indonesia.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- On the eve of Iraq's historic election, President Bush took responsibility Wednesday for "wrong" intelligence that led to the war, but he said removing Saddam Hussein was still necessary.
"It is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong," Bush said during his fourth and final speech before Thursday's vote for Iraq's parliament. "As president I am responsible for the decision to go into Iraq. And I'm also responsible for fixing what went wrong by reforming our intelligence capabilities. And we're doing just that."
Bush spoke at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington.
Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania -- a usually hawkish Democrat who has called for a quick withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq -- criticized Bush's policy again after the address.
Before the speech, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, said 41 Democratic senators had sent a letter to Bush "to show that we need to get things right in Iraq after these elections."
"The president has had a number of speeches -- three in number -- and he has still not focused on what needs to be done in convincing the American people and showing the American people what his plan is in Iraq," Reid said.
Sen. Jack Reed, D-Rhode Island, said the letter urges the Bush administration "to tell the leaders of all groups and political parties in Iraq that they need to make the compromises necessary to achieve the broad-based and sustainable political settlement that is necessary for defeating the insurgency."
"The president still has not stated how long his administration believes the (war) will take and how much it will cost in terms of funding and in terms of the commitment of American military and civilian personnel," Reed said.
In the poll, 49 percent of respondents said neither side is winning the war, 13 percent said the insurgents are winning and 36 percent said the United States is winning.
On Monday, speaking in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the cradle of the U.S. Constitution, Bush compared Iraq's struggles with American history.
The president unexpectedly took questions from the audience, including one from a woman who asked Bush how many Iraqi "civilians, military, police, insurgents, translators" had been killed in the war.
CNN's Sumi Das and Suzanne Malveaux contributed to this report.

Washington Nationals' 4th of July lineup for 2nd of 3 with New York Mets in D.C.
Washington and New York start this one early with an 11:00 AM start time on the 4th of July in Washington, D.C.
By Patrick Reddington@federalbaseball Jul 4, 2017, 9:04am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Washington Nationals' 4th of July lineup for 2nd of 3 with New York Mets in D.C.
Daniel Murphy got a rest on Monday night, in the series opener with the New York Mets.
"I just do [the lineups] with my eyes and my heart. Forty-six games in 48 days – that is a lot of baseball. I am just trying to keep guys strong." - Dusty Baker
Nationals' skipper Dusty Baker explained to reporters, before the first of three with the Washington's NL East rivals, that the current stretch of 46 games over 48 days, which wraps up this Sunday in the series and first-half finale with the Atlanta Braves, has been brutal, and he's trying to keep everyone, Murphy included, at their best.
"We have to keep Murphy healthy," Baker said. "He will be back in there tomorrow.
"I just do [the lineups] with my eyes and my heart. Forty-six games in 48 days – that is a lot of baseball. I am just trying to keep guys strong."
With just two days off since May 23th, Baker said, "this has been a trying time for my team."
Nationals' GM Mike Rizzo said much the same in an interview on Buster Olney's podcast on Monday.
"It's been a grind," Rizzo told the ESPN writer and analyst of the long stretch with minimal rest.
"The consistent and constant that we have is we put a guy on the mound every day that gives us a chance to win and a lineup that's been swinging the bat pretty well..." - Mike Rizzo on 2017 Nats
"We've had some injuries mixed in. We're missing three of our starting eight players and three bullpen pieces, but I see a lot of our young players stepping up and filling in when [Jayson] Werth went down and [Adam] Eaton went down, we have [Brian] Goodwin and [Michael A.] Taylor that really stepped up and performed well for us and now that Trea Turner is down we're going to have Stephen Drew and [Wilmer] Difo and that group of guys have to step up and play for us.
"The consistent and constant that we have is we put a guy on the mound every day that gives us a chance to win and a lineup that's been swinging the bat pretty well, so we just have to keep rolling and keep grinding away, and it will be a real nice All-Star break for a lot of the club including Dusty and myself."
There are, however, still games to play before the All-Star Break. Including today's...
HERE'S THE LINEUP FOR THE 4TH OF JULY MATCHUP WITH THE METS:
#Nats vs #Mets 2 of 3: Taylor CF, Difo SS, Harper RF, Murphy 2B, Lind 1B, Raburn LF, Drew 3B, Lobaton C, Ross RHP

Although the Golden State Warriors had the best record in the Western Conference, no coach may coach two consecutive All-Star Games, therefore making Steve Kerr ineligible. San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich served as the Western Conference coach due to the Spurs having the second-best record in the West. The Cleveland Cavaliers had the best record in the Eastern Conference, but on January 22, the team fired head coach David Blatt and replaced him with Tyronn Lue. Lue was named the Eastern Conference head coach on January 27, even though he had only coached four games up to that point.
Tyronn Lue (left) and Gregg Popovich (right) were selected as the East and West head coach, respectively.
The rosters for the All-Star Game were selected through a voting process. The starters are chosen by the fans. Two guards and three frontcourt players who received the highest vote are named the All-Star starters. NBA head coaches vote for the reserves for their respective conferences, none of which can be players on their own team. Each coach selects two guards, three frontcourt players and two wild cards, with each selected player ranked in order of preference within each category. If a multi-position player is to be selected, coaches are encouraged to vote for the player at the position that was "most advantageous for the All-Star team," regardless of where the player was listed on the All-Star ballot or the position he was listed in box scores.
Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers topped the ballots this year with 1,891,614 votes, earning Bryant his 18th all-star appearance in his final season in the NBA, and also beating out the 2015 leading vote getter Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, who was second this year in total votes with 1,604,325. This is the fourth time that Bryant has been the leading vote getter. The other players named to the Western Conference starting roster include Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder, named to their fifth and seventh All-Star Games respectively, and Kawhi Leonard of the San Antonio Spurs, who was named to his first career All-Star Game.
LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers, with 1,089,206 votes, was the leading vote getter in the Eastern Conference, earning James his 12th career all-star nod. Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat was also named a starter to his 12th career All-Star Game, with a total of 941,466 votes. Rounding out the rest of the Eastern Conference starting lineup was Kyle Lowry of the Toronto Raptors (second all-star nod), Paul George of the Indiana Pacers (3rd all-star nod), and Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks, who was named to his ninth career All-Star Game.
The West Reserves included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors, Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers, James Harden of the Houston Rockets, Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Pelicans, DeMarcus Cousins of the Sacramento Kings, and LaMarcus Aldridge, who made the All-Star Game as a member of the San Antonio Spurs for the first time.
The East Reserves included John Wall of the Washington Wizards, DeMar DeRozan of the Toronto Raptors, Jimmy Butler of the Chicago Bulls, Isaiah Thomas of the Boston Celtics, Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat, Paul Millsap of the Atlanta Hawks, and Andre Drummond of the Detroit Pistons. Jimmy Butler and Chris Bosh ultimately had to sit out the All-Star Game due to a knee and calf injury, respectively. Pau Gasol of the Chicago Bulls and Al Horford of the Atlanta Hawks were named as Butler and Bosh's replacements.
^INJ1 Jimmy Butler was unable to participate due to a knee injury.
^REP1 Pau Gasol was selected as Butler's replacement.
^INJ2 Chris Bosh was unable to participate due to a calf injury.
^REP2 Al Horford was selected as Bosh's replacement.
Russell Westbrook earned his second-straight MVP award in his first All-Star start as the West won 196–173 over the East. He scored a team-high 31 points and added eight rebounds, five assists, and five steals in 22 minutes. Kobe Bryant, who planned to retire after the season, had 10 points, six rebounds, and seven assists in his final All-Star Game. The 369 total points in the game broke the previous year's record by 48, and both sides exceeded the prior team record of 163.
Stephen Curry added 26 points for the West, and teammates Anthony Davis scored 24 on 12-of-13 shooting and Kevin Durant tallied 23. The East's Paul George scored 41, which tied Westbrook's total from 2015 and was one short of Wilt Chamberlain's record. LeBron James totaled 13 points for a career record of 291 to pass Bryant, who retired with 290.
Westbrook became the first player in All-Star history to win consecutive MVPs outright. Bob Pettit is the other player to have won back-to-back awards, winning in 1958 and sharing it with Elgin Baylor in 1959. West players offered to feed Bryant the ball in an attempt to get him a record fifth All-Star MVP, but he declined.
The 2016 NBA Celebrity All-Star Game was played on February 12, 2016 at the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto, Ontario.
The game was a matchup of Team Canada vs. Team USA, coached by Canadian rapper Drake, and 4-time Celebrity Game MVP Kevin Hart, respectively. It featured 21 players, including actors Stephan James, Jason Sudeikis, Anthony Anderson, O'Shea Jackson, Jr., Joel David Moore, and Tom Cavanagh, and TV hosts Nick Cannon, Terrence Jenkins, and the Property Brothers. The game also included four NBA legends in Chauncey Billups, Muggsy Bogues, Tracy McGrady, and Rick Fox, as well as Elena Delle Donne and Tammy Sutton-Brown of the WNBA.
Despite the efforts of head coach Kevin Hart who later played in the game in the second half, Team Canada won 74–64 and Win Butler was named MVP of the game.
^INJ Patrick Beverley was unable to participate due to an ankle injury.
^REP Emmanuel Mudiay was selected to replace Beverley.
Teammates Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors, known as the Splash Brothers, were the favorites to win the contest. The betting site, Bovada, listed the defending-champion Curry as the favorite to win with 10–11 odds, while Thompson was second at 9–2. Contestant Devin Booker would be the youngest participant to ever compete in the Three-Point contest at 19 years old. Chris Bosh was announced as a first-time participant for the event, but he would be replaced by C. J. McCollum due to an injury before the event.
^INJ Chris Bosh was unable to participate due to a calf injury.
^REP C. J. McCollum was selected as Bosh's replacement.
Zach LaVine became the first back-to-back Slam Dunk Contest winner since Nate Robinson, edging out Aaron Gordon with four consecutive perfect scores in the final round.

You want to avoid seeming like you are passing value judgments. In writing an effective rhetorical analysis, you should discuss the goal or purpose of the piece the appeals, evidence, and techniques used and why examples of those appeals, evidence, and techniques and your explanation of why they did or didnt work. The purpose refers to what the writer wants to accomplish in the text.
It also allows the writer to strengthen his or her own argument by cutting down the opposing one. When writing a rhetorical analysis, you are not saying whether or not you agree with the argument. Analogies and figurative language, including metaphors and similes, demonstrate an idea through comparison.

You can also conduct a rhetorical analysis of a primarily visual argument such as a cartoon or advertisement, or an oral performance such as a speech. Also analyze any imagery used to appeal to aesthetic senses, and determine how effective these elements are. A sarcastic essay is vastly different from a scientific one, but depending on the situation, either tone could be effective.
The application of ethos, logos and pathos also helped. If you do not let the reader know this information beforehand, he or she may expect to read an evaluative argument instead. Whether you think they did or didnt, include quotes and specific examples in your analysis to back up your opinion.

A rhetorical analysis essay is a form of writing where the author looks at the topic in greater detail and prove his standpoint, using effective and persuasive methods. In a broader sense, a rhetorical paper means 'writing about writing,' 'dreaming about a dream,' 'teaching a teacher,' and so on.

Im more confident about my first grade of the year.
A good rhetorical analysis essay takes both sides of the argument, so you should analyze how the author was ineffective with the lack of logos and ethos. Before you begin writing your analysis, determine what the information you gathered suggests to you. The most standard way to organize your body paragraphs is to do so by separating them into sections that identify the logos, ethos, and pathos. For example, in discussing the use of a didactic tone, you might point to the following sentence as an example the anthropologist has become so familiar with the diversity of ways in which different people behave in similar situations that he is not apt to be surprised by even the most exotic customs. For instance, there is a big difference between an essay written for a scholarly conference and a letter written to an associate in the field.
Note that if the narrator is different from the writer, though, it could also refer to the narrator. In his divine watchmaker argument, william paley employs logical comparison to prove that something as complex as life and our world could not have occurred by chance. I would suggest doing more of an argument-based essay since youre trying to persuade people to believe your side is the better side in a debate. An everyday example of this is a minister, rabbi, priest, or shamanindividuals who are followed because they have established themselves as moral authorities. Despite their name, these appeals dont have anything to do with ethics as we usually think of them. You do not necessarily need to mention these details in this order. Example preliminary notes for a rhetorical analysis of horace miners article body rituals among the nacirema the goal to get readers to see the ridiculousness of americans obsession with physical appearance and our weird ideas about hygiene. You should, in some way, let the reader know that your paper is a rhetorical analysis. A rhetorical analysis can make an argument, but you need to be scholarly and reasonable in your analysis of the document. The image of a starving child in a third-world country can be a powerful way of evoking compassion or anger.
8 Feb 2015 ... Part 2. Writing the Introduction. Identify your own purpose. You should, in some way, let the reader know that your paper is a rhetorical analysis. State the text being analyzed. Clearly identify the text or document you plan to analyze in your paper. Briefly mention the SOAPS. Specify a thesis statement.
When you write the rhetorical analysis essay, remember that its main aim is to explain the impact of every device that was used by the author. Don't list the arguments and devices. Analyze and explain their effectiveness. Revision is one of the most important parts of writing an academic essay.
Pathos, or pathetic appeals, seek to evoke emotion in order to gain approval. Analogies and figurative language, including metaphors and similes, demonstrate an idea through comparison. Also, make sure you include the authors name, profession, and purpose for writing the text at the beginning of your analysis to give readers some context. Note that if the narrator is different from the writer, though, it could also refer to the narrator. For pathos, analyze any details that alter the way that the viewer or reader may feel about the subject at hand.
The thesis statement is the key to a successful introduction and provides a sense of focus for the rest of the essay. To learn more about the right way to write a rhetorical analysis, continue reading. To write a rhetorical analysis, start by determining what the author of the work youre analyzing is trying to argue. The application of ethos, logos and pathos also helped. Effective rhetoricians can create these feelings in an audience even if the feeling wasnt there before.
A good rhetorical analysis essay takes both sides of the argument, so you should analyze how the author was ineffective with the lack of logos and ethos. Mention specific data and facts used in analysis involving logos. Remember to choose the three (or four) techniques for which you can make the strongest case. An everyday example of this is a minister, rabbi, priest, or shamanindividuals who are followed because they have established themselves as moral authorities. The occasion mostly refers to the type of text and the context under which the text was written.
You can also include information about whether or not that argument is successful. Speculate on why the author may have chosen those rhetorical strategies for that audience and that occasion. I revived from my english teacher, and did not understand the different parts and details of a rhetorical analysis. First analyze the words for any presence of an appeal to reason (logos), pathos (feelings), or ethos (ethics). Uses amplification to describe and display the idiocy of practices like teeth whitening.
Does all of this to appeal to logic and readers sense of pride and superiority (pathetic appeal). The application of ethos, logos and pathos also helped. A good rhetorical analysis essay takes both sides of the argument, so you should analyze how the author was ineffective with the lack of logos and ethos. It also allows the writer to strengthen his or her own argument by cutting down the opposing one. Your introduction should provide background that will make the reader see your arguments relevance.
I would suggest doing more of an argument-based essay since youre trying to persuade people to believe your side is the better side in a debate. I stumbled upon this article, i had no idea how to approach a rhetorical analysis, but now i do. Dont worry about how it soundsjust answer the questions. Speculate on why the author may have chosen those rhetorical strategies for that audience and that occasion. A speaker from the american heart association visiting a kinesiology class to talk about healthy lifestyle choices is a practical example of ethos.
Your introduction should provide background that will make the reader see your arguments relevance. It also allows the writer to strengthen his or her own argument by cutting down the opposing one. This article taught me what my own i was really confused about how to write a rhetoric essay. Academic discourse is mostly logos-driven because academic audiences respect scholarship and evidence. This is especially powerful when the author contrasts a strong viewpoint he or she holds with a weak viewpoint on the opposing side.
Style details are the second rhetorical strategy and include a wide variety of elements, such as imagery, tone, syntax, and diction. Most academic discourse should make heavy use of logos. When writing a rhetorical analysis, you are not saying whether or not you agree with the argument. If an article about violent crime provides personal, human details about victims of violent crime, the writer is likely using pathos. Emotionally-charged words have greater impact, and rhythmic word patterns can establish a theme more effectively.

Prince Harry has claimed that he wasn't Prince William's best man as he opened up in Spare on "bare-faced lie" reportedly told before the wedding.
The Duke of Sussex has alleged in his memoir that he was never Prince William's best man for his wedding to Kate Middleton.
Instead he names two "civilian" friends that were the future King's choice and suggests that he helped give them "cover" from media attention.
This royal news comes as we revealed Princess Anne has undertaken a major appearance alongside Sir Timothy Laurence as the Royal Family mourns a great loss.
Prince Harry's memoir, Spare, has seen the King's youngest son get candid like never before about his relationship with his older brother. In the highly-anticipated release he revealed King Charles' heartbreaking plea to Prince William and Prince Harry following the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral and his claim that he felt Prince William was "gone forever" after he got married.
Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding was watched by millions back in 2011 and few could forget the sight of the royal brothers beaming at each other at the altar as the future Queen Consort walked down the aisle. However, according to Prince Harry writing in Spare, he wasn't actually Prince William's best man at all.

Describing the confirmation of his role as a "bare-faced lie", the Duke of Sussex alleged that his brother's friends James Meade and Thomas van Straubenzee were the future King's choice of best men.
According to Town & Country (opens in new tab), "The public had been told that I was to be best man, but that was a bare-faced lie. The public expected me to be best man, and thus the Palace saw no choice but to say that I was. In truth, Willy didn't want me giving a best-man speech."
"He didn't think it safe to hand me a live mic and put me in a position to go off script. I might say something wildly inappropriate. He wasn't wrong," Prince Harry continued.
He then alleged that James and Thomas were actually Prince William's choice of best man and suggested that the choice helped to protect them from a media "onslaught".
Prince Harry continued, "Also, the lie gave cover to James and Thomas, two civilians, two innocents. Had they been outed as Willy's best men, the rabid press would've chased them, tracked them, hacked them, investigated them, ruined their families' lives. Both chaps were shy, quiet. They couldn't handle such an onslaught, and shouldn't be expected to."
The royal added that "Willy" explained all of this to him, claiming he "didn't blink" and that they'd had a "laugh about it" when they began speculating about the "inappropriate things" he could've said in his speech.

The Duke of Sussex is understood to have ended up giving the best man speech and it's been reported that Kate Middleton's dirty nickname for Prince William was revealed. Prince William is understood to have been best man at Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018. The claims in Spare come as Prince William and Kate Middleton made their first public appearance since its publication with a trip to Merseyside on January 12.

Researchers Claim Ancient Greeks Sailed to Canada
Paul Seaburn February 3, 2018
What do you get when you put an archeologist, an astronomer, a philosopher, a meteorologist and a computer expert in a room together? If your answer was "A new theory suggesting the ancient Greeks set foot in North America in 56 CE," grab a gyro, some souvlaki and a shot of ouzo and toast what may be the biggest rewrite of the history books since the Vikings ousted Columbus from the "Who discovered America?" chapter. Opa!
"Our intention is to prove, with modern science, that it was possible for this trip to be made."
Ioannis Liritzis is an archaeologist at the University of the Aegean and co-author of a new paper, "Does Astronomical and Geographical Information of Plutarch's De Facie Describe a Trip Beyond the North Atlantic Ocean?" The "Plutarch" in the title is the Greek biographer and writer who lived from 46 CE to 120 CE and is best known for his ancient bestsellers, Parallel Lives (bios of famous Greeks and Romans) and Moralia (customs and mores of the times). It's in Moralia that Liritzis finds words from Plutarch that planted the seed of his quest to prove the Greeks visited North America first … and many times thereafter, possibly even establishing a settlement.
Hakai magazine describes how Liritzis developed his theory. In a chapter titled, "On the Face Which Appears in the Orb of the Moon" or "De Facie," a stranger tells the tale of making a long voyage to a distant "great continent," a trip he claims new voyagers make every 30 years when Saturn appears in the constellation Taurus, with some staying permanently. Liritzis believes Plutarch's stranger was referring to North America.
Into the room comes astronomer Panagiota Preka-Papadema and IT consultant Panagiotis Antonopoulos. Using a Plutarch reference to a total solar eclipse that happened around noon, they found one in 75 CE. They also found Saturn in Taurus from 26 to 29 CE, 56 to 58 CE, and 85 to 88 CE. If Plutarch's stranger was talking to him in 75 CE, then the second Saturn/Taurus period would have fit the story, with the sailors leaving in 56, hanging out in the strange land for a year and returning in 58.
OK, so the years match. Was there any other evidence of such a trip?
"Plutarch says they are of the same geographical latitude, lying on [the] same parallel."
Plutarch said the sailors landed in a bay that lines up with the Volga River delta on the Caspian Sea. At that point, Liritzis turned to an uncredited partner in the study – Google Earth – which showed that the delta lines up with the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, that big bay on the coast of Newfoundland.
Well, not quite. The calculations of the team based on the writings of Plutarch only show that the "great continent" COULD have been North America. It could also have been any other foreign land mass in the same latitude – Ireland, for example. And, even if the Greeks accidentally made it to North America once and successfully returned, other researchers doubt they had the sailing expertise to repeat the trip every 30 years multiple times as Plutarch suggests. Finally, Plutarch mentions gold that the sailors brought back, but studies of gold artifacts from the period show no physical or chemical evidence they came from Newfoundland.
Even with no physical evidence, it's an interesting theory and that's more than enough justification for another shot of ouzo.

Thiem, Zverev aiming to upset old guard at French Open
PARIS (AP) — The old guard may still be winning the major trophies but the youngsters are creeping up on them.
Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka have dominated the Grand Slams since 2005. However, a couple of dark horses are hoping to spring a surprise at the French Open, which starts on Sunday.
The 20-year-old Alexander Zverev beat Novak Djokovic to win the Italian Open last Sunday, while the 23-year-old Dominic Thiem also impressed in the tournament, defeating Nadal.
"I think that Rafa is the big favorite," Thiem said on Friday. "Novak is coming, for sure behind him. And then Murray, you never know. He's such a big player. He can also play amazing here.
"And after these three I think there are some players who can go very deep here who can make big surprises and to these players I count Sascha (Alexander Zverev) and myself."
This is the first week in the 40-year-plus history of the ATP computer rankings that the top five men are all 30 or older.
However, the seventh-ranked Thiem doesn't see that as failure by the younger players.
"They are so big players that it's I think normal that they are still so good with a little bit older age," Thiem said. "But I wouldn't say that the younger players, they didn't make it. I mean there is Milos (Raonic) or Kei (Nishikori) that have been in the top 10 for a very long time.
"Everybody should know how tough it is. Because they didn't win a slam yet, it doesn't mean that they didn't make it because obviously the Big 4 are so strong that it's in this period really tough to win a big title."
Nadal will be favorite to claim a 10th title at Roland Garros, on his favorite surface.
Thiem has already faced Nadal three times this year, losing finals in Barcelona and Madrid before beating the Spaniard in Rome 6-4, 6-3.
"The win over Rafa was of course a big thing for me," Thiem said. "I played the best player on clay three times in three tournaments. I learned a lot ... so I think I prepared well for this tournament.
Thiem reached the French Open semifinals last year, losing to eventual champion Djokovic.
If the Austrian gets to the same stage this season he will most likely face Nadal again, and he knows the 30-year-old Spaniard is the one to beat.
"100 percent he's the big favorite. He's on the top to win here," Thiem said of Nadal. "Of course I think he's back at his best this year, and then also he won nine times. So he knows how it works to win here.
"I will think he will try everything to win Le Decima, I think it will be very unique in tennis to win a Grand Slam title 10 times. It's pretty crazy, I guess. So 100 percent he's the one to beat here and the big favorite."
Nadal, who retired last year before his third-round match with a wrist injury, has a 72-2 record at the clay-court major and is the only player with nine trophies from one Grand Slam tournament.
This season, he has been the dominant player on clay, winning 17 straight matches on his favorite surface and three consecutive titles before Thiem halted his run.

Q: Dealing with root powers of variable to some other power In my code I keep coming across terms like this in the output $(w^3)^{\frac{1}{3}}$ that mathematica refuses to simplify. I have tried using a simplifying assumption such as $w\in\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$ but it still returns the same result.
Is there a command I can use to simplify results like these?

A: Try
FullSimplify[PowerExpand[(w^3)^(1/3)]]

Emigrants in Chains: A Social History of Forced Emigration to the Americas of Felons, Destitute Children, Political and Religious Non-Conformists, Vagabonds, Beggars and Other Undesirables, 1607-1776
Peter Wilson Coldham
Genealogical Publishing Company, 1992 - Reference - 188 pages
In a story largely untold until now, Peter Coldham's groundbreaking study demonstrates once and for all that the recruitment of labour for the American colonies was achieved in large measure through the emptying of English prisons, workhouses, brothels, and houses of correction, as felons, rogues and social outcasts were transported fated to toil in the tobacco-growing colonies of Virginia and Maryland.
Supported by a massive array of documentary evidence and first-hand reports, the author lays the focus on the emergence and use of transportation as a means of dealing with an unwanted population, dwelling at length on the processes involved, the men charged with the administration of the system of transportation or engaged in transportation as a business, then proceeding with a fascinating look at the transportees themselves, their lives and hapless careers, and their reception in the colonies.
Few transportees contrived to return to their native country when their sentences expired, and it must be assumed that most such involuntary emigrants were assimilated into colonial society. Their untold story may lack the romance of the cavaliers of Virginia and Maryland - the heroic ring of a dispossessed aristocracy - but it has the stark accent of truth. This is a story to challenge common perceptions and attitudes about the peopling of the American colonies.
Approximately 50,000 men, women, and children were banished to the Americas from Great Britain between 1607 and 1776. There the convicts were sold to the highest bidder to labor for terms of seven ... Read full review
