Bio-One Weekly Wrap-Up, Week 9: Arizona Law Enforcement Grant, National Law Enforcement Museum Post - 9/11 Exhibit, What to Ask Before Hiring a Crime Scene Cleaner
The roots of crime- and trauma-scene cleaning companies can be traced to the 1990s, and at that time only a dozen or so companies existed. The industry was widely unregulated and awareness of contamination risks were relatively non-existant.
"I was young and dumb and saw something you only see in movies, so I quickly shut the door, took a deep breath, sat on the couch with the widow and told everyone else to get her out of here and take her to lunch, and we'll clean this up for her," said Nick-Anthony Zamucen, Founder of Bio-One Inc. "We were just trying to help a lady in her greatest time of need, and that's for me how I got into the crime scene and cleaning business." Read Nick's story in Franchise Times.
Today, there are hundreds of companies that advertise crime and trauma scene cleaning, and a simple Google search may prove overwhelming when you're experiencing one of the most traumatic moments in your life. To help, we've listed pre-qualifying questions to ask before choosing a crime and trauma scene company.
Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Crime and Trauma Scene Cleaner
There are a number of key questions to ask crime and trauma scene cleaning technicians or business owners to properly root out which one is best for your goals and circumstances.
Are you local? When there's a blood spill, response time is key to prevent biohazards from spreading and to ensure quick remediation. Several businesses may pay for online advertising in your city, but their technicians could be 3 or more hours away. Furthermore, avoid calling toll free numbers. "These numbers often lead to call centers. We're local. They're not," said Ginger Akemon, owner of Bio-One in Jacksonville, FL.
Is your business certified and insured? Professional crime and trauma scene cleaning companies should have bloodborne pathogen certifications, they should follow OSHA personal protective equipment (PPE) guidelines and remediation processes, and they should have insurance for their business.
What is your process for disposing biohazardous waste? Once the remediation is complete, the accumulated waste will need to be disposed in accordance to local state guidelines. Make sure the business owner or technician is aware of these guidelines and has an appropriate plan for disposal.
What happens to valuable or personal items that are impacted? At Bio-One, we are trained to be mindful of valuable and perceived valuable items, such as pictures, wallets, or a baseball card collection. Professional crime and trauma scene cleaners should ask if there are valuable items to keep an eye out for, and they will keep the family informed if these items are found.
How will you charge for your services? In most cases, home insurance will cover the cost of biohazard remediation - less your deductible. Ask if they can open a claim on your behalf, taking this burden off your shoulders. If you don't have homeowners insurance, it's OK to ask for a free estimate so you can compare costs between other local companies.
Will you be discrete during and after the job? Michele Amoranto, Bio-One owner in Oceanside, CA, always assures her clients that discretion is top of mind while her team is onsite. Bio-One vehicles are unmarked and technicians will designate work areas to don and doff PPE out of view from neighbors.
Do you have a list of resources that can help after the cleanup? You may need flooring replaced or fresh drywall installed, which will also be covered under your home insurance claim, and a recommendation could help speed up the reconstruction process. Additionally, many crime and trauma scene cleaners have connections with local counselors and victim's advocates. In west Texas, Bio-One owner, Garrett Spooner, always offers a list of free mental health resources and states that, "Being volunteers of our local Crisis Intervention Unit, we consider our job incomplete without making sure our clients' mental health, grief process, and other issues our clients may have, are addressed."
Last but certainly most important, make sure the business you speak with shows care and compassion for your situation. They should want to do everything possible to support you and your loved ones.

If selling or buying a home is in your future, you're likely well versed the entire process, from the initial offer to closing. But are you aware that disclosing a death in the home may be required? The rules vary by state. Here's what you need to know.
Property Disclosure Documents
No matter how perfect a house looks on the outside, there is often property information a buyer needs to disclose before the sale can go through. Property disclosure documents reveal known structural issues, neighborhood nuisances, hazards, HOA details, water damage, notable repairs made to the home and death in the home.
Rules for reporting a death in the home vary by state, and variations in rules may include:
Timeframe: When the death occurred.
How the person passed away: If the death occurred naturally versus due to negligence on the property.
Hauntings: If the seller has knowledge that the property is being haunted by the dead.
To be more specific, here are three death disclosure examples as stated from experts or articles based in Texas, New Jersey, and California:
On Investopedia, Jim Olenbush, a Texas real estate broker said, "In Texas, for example, deaths from natural causes, suicides, or accidents unrelated to the property do not have to be disclosed." However, "a seller is required to disclose deaths related to the condition of the property or violent crimes."
Michele Messina, an agent with RE/MAX Villa Realtors in New Jersey, told Apartment Therapy, "If someone passed away after living a long, happy life, it's not really something you have to disclose."
The SFGate reported that in California, if someone dies on the property, it's a material defect – but only if the death occurred within three years of the date you make an offer to purchase or rent the home.
For a state by state guide on disclosure laws we recommend visiting this resource on Nolo.com.
How to Search Property Records
If you'd like to do your own sleuthing and search property records, look no further than DiedInHouse.com. Founded in 2013, this website promises to instantly search millions of records to determine if a death has occurred at any valid U.S. address.
In a 2015 interview with Forbes.com, founder Roy Condrey stated, "I went online to find a 'Carfax' of sorts for deaths in homes and I didn't find anything, but I did find pages and pages of people asking if there's a way to find out if their house is haunted."
The service isn't free, though. Once you enter an address, you're prompted to pay a minimum of $11.99 for a single search. The report will, however, provide a number of property records including meth labs, fire, death, and registered sex offender information.
Remediating After a Death in a Home
If a death recently occurred in the home you're hoping to purchase, there may have been biohazards from bloodborne pathogens that required remediation. Consider asking the seller how the death was remediated to ensure proper steps were taken. Remediation processes may vary depending on the location of the death, how the death occurred, types of flooring, and if the death was undiscovered for days or weeks.
Bio-One technicians are trained and equipped to properly disinfect biohazards from bloodborne pathogens, and we ensure safe biohazard material handling and disposal. Once the entire area is cleaned of blood and body fluids, we also help property owners restore the location to its pre-incident state.
If you are selling a home and need a biohazard remediated or want to ensure remediation was done correctly, give Bio-One a call. Our experts not only contain and disinfect the dangerous biological materials, we carry out our work in a caring and private manner. Find a Bio-One team near you.
If you or someone you know may be considering suicide, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 (en español: 1-888-628-9454; deaf and hard of hearing: dial 711, then 1-800-273-8255) or the Crisis Text Line by texting HOME to 741741.
According to the American Psychiatric Association, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States and the second leading cause of death (after accidents) for people aged 10 to 34. And according the CDC, published reports from 2020 suggest that the pandemic has had a negative effect on children's mental health.
"Beginning in April 2020, the proportion of children's mental health–related ED visits among all pediatric ED visits increased and remained elevated through October. Compared with 2019, the proportion of mental health–related visits for children aged 5–11 and 12–17 years increased approximately 24%. and 31%, respectively."
Researchers have yet to link recent suicides to the pandemic since 2020 suicide data is not yet available. But on the ground, there's growing concern.
The February 2021 NPR article "Child Psychiatrists Warn That The Pandemic May Be Driving Up Kids' Suicide Risk" explores possible correlation. Takeaways include:
NPR spoke with providers at hospitals in seven states across the country, and all of them reported a similar trend: More suicidal children are coming to their hospitals — in worse mental states.
The number of kids with suicide attempts coming to the emergency room at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland, in California, in the fall of 2020 was double the number in the fall of 2019.
At Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, the number of children and teens hospitalized after suicide attempts went up from 67 in 2019 to 108 in 2020. And October 2020 saw a 250% increase in these numbers over the previous October.
For ways to help kids at risk, NPR encourages readers to read Part 2 of their story, "Make Space, Listen, Offer Hope: How To Help A Child At Risk Of Suicide".
Whether you have struggled with suicide yourself or have lost a loved one, know you are not alone. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention has collected real stories from people in whose lives have been impacted by suicide.
The American Association of Suicidology offers a national directory for support groups for both attempt and loss survivors of suicide.
The SAVE organization (Suicide Awareness Voices of Education) has a variety of help guides including restricting access to lethal means, warning signs of suicide, and suicide prevention.
Survivors of Suicide – What to Do Next
The loss of a loved one by suicide can be a deeply painful and traumatizing experience; however, it's important to know that everyone experiences suicide loss in their own way. As you begin the process of healing, consider reading the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's guide for to talk to others about what happened and identify ways to take care of yourself.
Additionally, if you have lost someone to suicide, there may be a cleanup required. There is no need for family or friends of the loved one to be further traumatized or overwhelmed with trying to figure out how to clean the impacted area. Bio-One is here for you.

What I REID Into It
staff2 November 20, 2021
By Fred Liggett
FredL@lstribune.net
The Kansas City Chiefs will have to find a room that has a sturdy broom in it this week in order to complete an impressive sweep of the NFC East Division with a win over the Dallas Cowboys. The Chiefs have already beaten Philadelphia and Washington on the road and the New York Giants at home. All three of those teams are under .500 while Dallas comes to town with the number one ranked offense in the NFL.
The Chiefs vs Cowboys game may not be played in prime time but plenty of people will get to see it thanks to FOX network showing it to over 85% of the country. On hand to describe the action will be FOX TV's top crew of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. There is plenty of reason for all the excitement as the Chiefs have won three in a row and come in at 6-4. The Cowboys are 7-2 and with a win will be tied for the best mark in the NFC. Last week both teams showed what they can do with a pair of easy wins. The Cowboys won easily at home over Atlanta 43-3 while the Chiefs went on the road to Las Vegas and routed the Raiders 41-14.
Adding another measure of anticipation for a good game is the short injury lists both teams have this week. The Cowboys will be missing Randy Gregory on the D Line and could be without Tyron Smith. Meanwhile the Chiefs have OL Lucas Niang and CB L'Jarius Sneed listed as doubtful.
The Chiefs and Cowboys don't play each other often thanks to being in different conferences. The last meeting was in 2017 and the Cowboys took home a 28-17 win. The victory gave Dallas the Preston Road Trophy which was started back in 1998 by Team owners Lamar Hunt and Jerry Jones. Preston Road is where both owners lived at the time.
Despite not playing each other often there are several players and coaches on each side who know the others well. Cowboys star RB Ezekiel Elliott is from St. Louis, MO where he attended John Burroughs High School. Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy played in college at Baker University in Baldwin City, KS. For Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid he is 18-13 lifetime against Dallas after coaching against them for 14 years while at Philadelphia.
During the week Cowboys owner Jerry Jones commented on the match up saying "Would be a hallmark win" if Dallas defeats the Chiefs. The Chiefs defense will have to be sturdy to avoid that from happening. The defense limited Green Bay to just seven points two weeks ago, then the Raiders to 14 points last week proving they are playing well and up to the challenge. Thanks to this D, the city known for being the home of Hallmark will get the win. The Chiefs head into a bye week with a victory and a four-game winning streak. That's What I REID Into It for this week.

Shocker! Suspected Cultists Dump Three Dead Bodies At Benue University Main Gate
Posted by Samuel on Sun 15th Mar, 2020 - tori.ng
Some suspected cultists have reportedly dumped as many as three dead bodies near the Benue University gate.
According to Punch Metro, suspected cult members were reported to have killed three people and dumped their corpse close to the main gate of the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Benue State, in the early hours of Friday.
It was gathered that the assailants after hacking the three victims to death set their corpses ablaze.
A source explained that the killing may not be unconnected with the Thursday's cult killing of a final year student of Political Science at the Benue State University.
The source said those who struck were on a reprisal to avenge the death of their member.
The varsity's Public Relations Officer, Dr Joseph Fanafa, who confirmed the incident, noted that those killed were not students of the institution, noting that no student was missing.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Catherine Anene, said suspected armed robbers were lynched in the area and that two locally-made pistols were recovered at the scene.

Dicks' Mill
[Circa-1960 photo of Dicks Mill from North Randolph Historical Society, http://www.stpaulmuseum.org/exhibit_randleman.htm]
The original name of Randleman was Dicks Mill, after the merchant flour mill shown here, built by Peter Dicks about 1830. The mill was built on Deep River above the modern U.S. 220 Business highway bridge, but about 1900 was moved downstream to stand near the Naomi mill. At one time it included not only wheat and corn stones but an oil mill. It was demolished about 1965. Architecturally the building is too big to be an 18th-century mill, and the many large windows (nine over six sash, unusually large) are early-19th century at best. It is the size of what was called a "merchant mill," a mill that not only ground corn into meal and wheat into flour, but graded the flour through bolting and sifting machinery to produce a more refined white flour.
Peter Dicks (b.1771 – d.1843), the subject of the last few posts here, was a farmer and a merchant who operated a general store in the then-thriving village of New Salem. He served in many public capacities, including being one of the commissioners of New Salem (incorporated 1816), who sold lots and laid off streets; he was a Justice of the Peace (what we now call a county commissioner); he also served as Clerk of the Court of Equity. He was one of the founders of New Garden Boarding School, now Guilford College; throughout his life remained a trustee of the school and was an active member of the Society of Friends in both Centre and New Salem Monthly Meetings. Peter Dicks and wife Nancy Ann Hodgson tombstones in New Salem Methodist Ch/Cem.
Even though it is historically clear that Peter Dicks' mill on Deep River was the focal point around which the village of Union Factory and the City of Randleman subsequently coalesced, there is confusion over when that actually happened.
Some sources say 1800 ("Peter Dicks built a grist and oil mill, on Deep River in 1800." (library http://www.randolphlibrary.org/historicalphotos.htm ; also Randleman city website http://www.randleman.org/History.aspx). Other sources say 1830 (Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randleman,_North_Carolina , no citation). Pioneer local historian J.A. Blair in his "Reminisences of Randolph County" (1890) finesses over the question by saying "Away back in the shadowy past Peter Dicks had a grist and an oil mill at this place."
I'll say they're all wrong, it was even earlier than that. Grandfather Peter Dicks (ca. 1720-1796), brought the family down from York County, PA to Guilford County in 1755, settled in the Polecat Creek area near Centre Meeting. At some point soon thereafter he built a mill on Deep River which became the family business. In the Rowan County Court Minutes, (McCubbins, ed., Book 1: 1753-1772, p. 1), we read:
"On petition of hickory Creek and Russell's Runn and Poulcatt [Polecat]for a Road to Mill and Market, from Pennington's Mill through Hickory Creek Settlement the best and nearest way to Peter Dick's Mill and from thence to the Trading Path, the convenient way to Market on Cap Fair [Cape Fear], and that Peter Dicks, James Green, James Wilson, William Arafield [Armfield], Robert Lamb, George Hodgins, Robert Hodgins, Mathew Osborn, Daniel Osborn, John Osborn, Robert Fields, and William Fields be a jury to lay off the same and make return thereof to our next county court, and that James Green be appointed Overseer for the Lower Part and Abraham Cook for the upper part. Granted."
Pennington's Mill and Hickory Creek were in southern Guilford County, with the creek heading on or about the present Sedgefield golf course and running into Deep River below Freeman's Mill (now under the Randleman Reservoir). "Russell's Run" or Creek runs into Deep River between Freeman's Mill and Coletrane's Mill. Polecat Creek rises in southern Guilford and runs into Deep River below Randleman. So this road ran roughly from Sedgefield to Groometown Road near Jamestown to the Trading Path Ford near modern Randleman. [For more information on this petition and Pennington's Mill, see http://penningtonresearch.org/resources/articles/Pages%2014-15-PP0602.pdf ). It appears that Peter Dicks either applied for permission to build a mill, or bought an existing mill site, just as soon as he came to North Carolina in the early-to mid-1750s. And if that mill on Deep River wasn't located at the modern Randleman, I don't know where else it could have been.
When Union Factory was built just upstream in 1848, it made use of the Dicks Mill dam. James Dicks (1804-1883), owner and operator of the grist mill at that time, became a stockholder of the cotton factory along with a group of fellow Quakers. When the Naomi Manufacturing Company was built in 1879-1880, a new dam was built downstream at the site of the Naomi Falls, and the new dam backed water into the tail race of the grist mill, making it inoperable. Dicks Mill was thereupon disassembled, moved to a site below the Naomi Factory, and reconstructed just beside the new bridge over the ford below the mill. The mill is clearly visible in several photographs of that side of Naomi factory, including one where it is in the background as the steel bridge is being replaced in 1959. The mill remained in business on that spot until it was demolished in the mid-1960s.
The final years of Dicks Mill were chronicled in this article by Ruby K. Marsh, published on Monday, March 28, 1960, in The Greensboro Record. This is one of the last descriptions of an operating grist mill in Randolph County.
Century-Old Mill Still Grinding Corn
Randleman, March 24—
The Old Naomi Roller Mill—grinding corn and wheat for over a century– is still running, using the same machinery re-installed in 1880 when the mill was moved down river for lack of water to operate.
Naomi Manufacturing Company (now J.P. Stevens Co.) built a new plant that year—just below the old grist mill, using up the available water supply to generate power for the cotton mill. The grist mill was torn down and relocated below the Naomi Falls plant where it still stands today- just as it has stood for 80 years.
Hand-hewn beams and rafters from the original mill were used to build this sturdy, three-story plant which is completely furnished with machinery for grinding flour and corn meal as well as other feeds.
The "old corn rock" is still in use with the original boards which were shaped by hand to surround the round rock which grinds corn. The boards were neatly mitred at the four corners, put together with large wedges of wood and look as though they would last another century if needed.
The woods are polished from the passage of corn over the surface over the years. The floor too is polished as slick as though freshly waxed. Here wide pine boards of about two-inch thickness were used, the floor being as solid today as it was when placed there despite vibrations from the heavy machinery.
Just when the mill converted to electricity is not definitely known by present owner W.C. Routh, but he thinks about 40 years ago. The old mill race has been filled in, and boards cover the opening where water flowed underneath.
Six different processes were required before flour could be finished. In the old roller mills section—now idle—elevators carried wheat from one floor to the other, dropping the ground flour down through bins where pure Japanese silk screens bolted the flour—sending any coarse materials back into the elevator to be carried back to the roller where it was reground, then redropped into the screen for sifting. Waste materials went out a separate chute. Some of these old silk screens are still hanging on the wall, though they are now yellowed with age.
Up on the third floor the pan to mill self-rising ingredients is still sitting on top of the scales, just waiting to be used once more. The mixing bins where the flour and self-rising soda baking powder and salt- were added now have dirt-dobbers nests inside. The old wooden barrel which once held three or four bushels of corn is sitting idly by.
Corn was brought up from the wagon outside by a windlass which a man could pull with one hand. About 200 lbs. of corn could be carried up with one hand on the large four-foot wheel with a rope 1 ½ inches thick, being located out under the eave of the roof.
In front of the mill old dutch doors with a long slide wooden latch locks the door at night. The upper half is kept open during the day so people can see the place is open for business.
In the office the old box-type desk was nailed to the wall—right where it was located 80 years ago. The stool, made of two-inch pine, is polished from the millers sitting to tally up the price of a sack of corn meal or flour.
On the wall is a sign telling everyone to beware of the loaded rifle, kept to shoot rats which become troublesome sometimes. Little boys became meddlesome so Mr. Routh put up this sign.
Corn cobs are used to keep the office warn. They are burned in a tiny laundry heater.
On one of the large bins, names of the millers since 1900 are inscribed for posterity. Among them are five names of the seven Routh boys.
Routh and a brother operated a mill down in the borders of Chatham County just outside of Randolph at Bennett before Routh was born at Grays Chapel not far from his present home above the mill.
The mill site has long been a trading center. Indians traded with white settlers long before the Revolutionary War. It is also the site famed for the murder of Naomi Wise by her lover—for whom the mill is named.
Since he is partially retired Routh does not mind the slow pace which his mill now has—selling a little egg mash and other feeds and custom grinding corns for his friends, many of whom delight in going to visit him while he grinds corn on the 'old corn rock.'

Early morning fire destroys So. Door home
Warren Bluhm
A town of Forestville man jumped from a second story window to escape an early morning house fire Tuesday.
The Southern Door Fire Department responded to a fire 6451 E. Carnot Road just after 3 a.m. Land records list Anthony Jandrin as the homeowner.
Jandrin was home alone at the time, said Southern Door Fire Chief Chuck Cihlar. Jandrin's sister was driving past the home around 3 a.m. on her way to work and noticed the northeast corner of the house was on fire.
The woman alerted her brother and he climbed out the second story window over the garage.
"The house was fully engulfed by the time we got here," Cihlar said.
The fire "spread fast" and by the time firefighters arrived there was no entering the home.
"It was already past the point where you could have saved anybody," he said.
The fire chief was told by those on the scene that Jandrin jumped 8 to 10 feet to safety.
Jandrin suffered possible smoke inhalation, but he did not appear to have been hurt during his escape, Cihlar said. EMS transported him from the scene.
The original farmhouse was built in the 1800s by Henry and Clara Tronson, said Rich Olson, a neighbor and firefighter. Updates to the house over the years included the garage.
All that remained of the home around 6 a.m. were a few charred walls and an interior chimney. Crews were using foam to cover lingering hot spots that were still smoking.
Two vehicles in the garage were also lost in the blaze. The heat was so intense that it melted the vinyl siding on a small utility building about 50 feet from the house.
It is thought the fire may have been caused by an electrical problem, he said.
The Southern Door Fire Department received mutual aid from Algoma and the Brussels-Union-Gardner fire departments. A cistern was set up at the Clay Banks Town Hall.
About 50,000 gallons of water was pumped via the cistern and additional water was taken from a creek close to the fire, Cihlar said.
"We had plenty of water and plenty of help," he said.
Fire crews cleared the scene at 8 a.m., and Cihlar said the department would probably check back to make sure there were no further flareups.

Claude Debussy & "La Mer"
Debussy loved the poetry of Baudelaire, as he loved the painters Turner, Hokusai and Monet, all of whom created memorable images of the sea. When he published the score of his orchestral work, "La Mer," he requested that one of Hokusai's prints, "The Hollow of the Wave off Kanagawa," be reproduced as part of the cover design. "I am working on three symphonic sketches under the title La Mer....You may not know that I was supposed to have been a sailor, and only by chance did fate lead me in another direction. But I have always retained a passionate love for the sea." Debussy began sketching "La Mer" in 1903, and in 1905 traveled to Eastbourne, a town on the English Channel, to complete the piece at the seaside. His purpose, as he later wrote to his stepson, was to depict the ocean's constant mutability in ways that the painters in his Impressionist milieu could not. "Music," he wrote, "has this over painting: it can bring together all manner of variations of color and light."
"La mer" is a unique mix of tone poem and symphony, a three-movement impression of the ocean.
Caplet is now a virtually forgotten composer, yet his early career was given a real boost when he was awarded 1st prize in France's most distinguished musical composition prize, the Prix de Rome, in 1901, relegating a certain Maurice Ravel into 3rd place. History's cruel judgment records a different verdict on the two men's subsequent place in musical history, yet Caplet's music possesses a most definite French imprint. The 1st performance of Caplet's transcription of "La Mer" for 2 pianos and 6 hands was a concert performance by pianists, Marcel Chadeigne, Auguste Delacroix and Roger-Ducasse on March 6, 1908.
Dr. Raffi Kharajanyan is a distinguished pianist from Riga, Latvia who performed with Nora Novik as The Riga Piano Duo, which acheived legendary fame over the duo's 40 year artistic career. The duo toured extensively in Europe, Russia, Israel, Asia, Eastern Europe, the Baltic States and performed in the U.S. at the 2007 and 2008 Salkind Piano Duo Festivals. In 2009, Nora Novik died suddenly; she lives on in the recordings of The Riga Duo, and in the inspiration of her many students and colleagues. Sfmf honored Dr. Kharajanyan and the musical legacy of The Riga Duo with a lifetime acheivement award presented at the 2012 Salkind Festival for the duo's signifiacant contribution to the piano duo genre.
Canadian pianists, Anne Louise and Edward Turgeon have been performing professionally as a piano duo since 1996. Critically acclaimed as one of the top piano duos of our time, the Turgeons have toured extensively in Europe, Northern America and Eastern Europe. The Turgeon's awards include 1st prize in the 6th International Schubert Competition for Piano Duo, and 1st prize in the prestigious Murray Dranoff International Two Piano Competition. Duo Turgeon was featured in the PBS documentary - "Two Pianos One Passion" and the duo appears on seven CDs including "Latin American Journey." http://www.duoturgeon.com.


I must confess a few things. The holidays and lots of travel wreak havoc on me, my body, and my routine.
I confess that on our way from central Illinois to Chicago, I ate several homemade pizzelles that were given as a gift from Mr. Prevention's uncle. They were just…there…and they tasted SO good.
I confess that I drank a craft beer every night we were gone.
I confess that I not only ate some killer thin crust pizza, but also some deep dish from Papa Dels in Champaign, Illinois.
I confess that the broccoli on my Christmas Eve dinner plate was covered in cheese. And Ritz crackers. Probably some butter, too…I'm not sure. But it was delicious.
I confess that one morning, my mother-in-law made cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and I partook. Thank goodness I limited myself to one. Mr. Prevention put on the breaks after 3.
By yesterday, my body was giving me serious heck for the abuse. At our fourth and final Christmas, I stuck to tilapia and green beans, included a green salad, and took the smallest piece of baklava off the dessert table ;).
My point is, I'm ready to return to normalcy. My grocery cart included mixed greens and carrots. It did not include butter, flour, or sugar unlike my pre-Christmas grocery trips. I made dinner last night and it included fish and broccoli slaw…and water. Lots of water.
I'm glad that as I jet out the door this morning I can grab something wholesome and delicious…something that I made nearly 2 weeks ago and can enjoy today and for weeks to come. Having healthy snacks or breakfasts like these granola bars on-hand is crucial to my making healthy choices. Pizzelles don't look quite as good when they're up against a homemade Cherry-Almond Granola Bar, that's for sure!
Preheat oven to 400 F. Spread oats and almonds on a baking sheet. Bake, stirring once, until just golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool on sheet. Reduce oven temperature to 325 F.
Line a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing it to extend over long sides. Brush paper with melted coconut oil.
Mix the oat mixture, cherries, coconut, sunflower seeds, and flaxseed in bowl.
Bring 1/4 cup coconut oil, honey, sugar, and salt to a boil in a medium heavy deep saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil for 1 minute. Immediately pour over oat mixture in bowl. Using a heatproof spatula, stir until evenly coated. Transfer granola to prepared pan. Lightly press evenly into pan; smooth top.
Bake for 10 minutes. Turn pan; continue baking until golden brown with slightly darker edges, about 15 minutes longer.
Transfer pan to a wire rack and let granola cool completely in pan. Using paper overhang, lift granola from pan. Cut into 12 bars. Store airtight at room temperature or freeze.
Result: Swwwwoooooon! I am in love with these. They are very similar to the coconut-almond Kind bars that are outrageously expensive and incredibly delicious. I love that these have some chew and bite to them and the healthy fats, fiber, and protein help keep me full for hours. While these are a bit high calorie for a snack (though, not for athletes!), they are ideal for breakfast. A big cup of coffee, one of these, and a banana… breakfast perfection! Plus, they freeze perfectly for grab-and-go breakfasts for many mornings to come!
Back to work today 🙁 At least it's only a 2-day work week. I think I can…I think I can.
I confess that I have had MORE than the recommended ONE serving of alcohol for the last 4 nights straight, and I confess that I had 3 large buckeyes and 2 pieces of rocky road fudge on Christmas day……as an appetizer. BAHAHA!! But, I did workout 🙂 muahaha, but only half.
We practice what we preach, right?!
Great granola bar recipe!! I can't use coconut but I could probably substitute something else….right?!
I dont even want to recall all the food and alcohol that i have been indulging in the name of holiday spirit. And workout has also been a foreign word lately. But I feel pretty pumped to get back on track. Thanks for sharing this recipe and inspiration to get back on daily routine ASAP 🙂 I probably should make these now.
Those look amazing! I will definitely try those, although I may have cottage cheese instead of a banana on the side because of all the carbs.
These look tasty and crunchy/chewy! We got to make xmas eve dinner this year and kept everything fairly healthy and mostly plant-based 🙂 Even had some apple cinnamon water kefir and fermented chutney to help with digestion. We did make some maple cinnamon granola and maple bark in the dehydrator that definitely was not 'light' but delicious!
Mr. Prevention / Prevention RD Pizza Cook off going on tonight! Cast your vote for who will win!
I haven't had a homemade pizzelle since I was a little girl! I'm jealous!

When Mary told the angel at the Annunciation, "Behold, I am the Handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word," she became the patroness of every priest and religious until the end of time. Her acceptance of God's invitation to become His Mother made her the Mother of all vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
Mary is Mother of Vocations also by her example. It is by imitating her practice of faith, hope and charity that men and women are inspired to give themselves to her Son in the priesthood or the lifetime practice of the counsels. Only believers have a vocation; only those who trust implicitly in God's promises respond to God's call; and above all only those who love God in others deeply are preserved in priestly or religious commitment. In all of these, Mary is their model, and the more devoted they are to her, the more secure is their consecration.
"Mary, Mother of Vocations, pray for us," should be our daily invocation.

cross section, in nuclear or subatomic particle physics, probability that a given atomic nucleus or subatomic particle will exhibit a specific reaction (for example, absorption, scattering, or fission) in relation to a particular species of incident particle. Cross section is expressed in terms of area, and its numerical value is chosen so that, if the bombarding particle hits a circular area of this size perpendicular to its path and centred at the target nucleus or particle, the given reaction occurs; and, if it misses the area, the reaction does not occur. The reaction cross section is usually not the same as the geometric cross-sectional area of the target nucleus or particle. The unit of reaction cross section is the barn (equal to 10−24 square cm). Values of cross sections depend on the energy of the bombarding particle and the kind of reaction. Boron, for example, when bombarded by neutrons traveling 1,000,000 cm per second (22,500 miles per hour), has a cross section for the neutron-capture reaction of about 120 barns, and boron's cross section increases to about 1,200 barns for neutrons traveling at 100,000 cm per second. (In contrast, boron's cross-sectional area is only about 0.1 barn.) Because of its large cross sections, boron is a good absorber of neutrons. In contrast, neutrinos emitted in the nuclear reactions that fuel the Sun have cross sections as small as 10 −21 barn, which accounts for their very low rates of interaction.

Japan Is Naming and Shaming Citizens Who Don't Comply With Covid-19 Protocols
The guilt-inducing tactic has taken on a new urgency during the country's current case surge.

As any public official will tell you, it can be tricky to get citizens to comply with certain public health mandates—like wearing masks, social distancing, or getting a damn vaccine. So some health authorities have started taking a different tactic—publicly naming and shaming the folks that refuse to comply, in the hopes that guilt will get them to do the right thing.
Japan's public health ministry—the governmental arm that oversees public health and welfare initiatives countrywide—publicly released the names of three individuals caught flouting the country's rules for international travel after returning from abroad late last month. According to the document, the three visitors included two Japanese nationals in their 20's who arrived from South Korea and one person in their 30's who arrived in the country from Hawaii. While the three individuals tested negative for COVID-19 upon their arrival, all three refused to answer follow-up video calls from health authorities.
Japan has some pretty strict guidelines in place for those traveling in and out of the country, including a strict 14-day monitoring period. People are asked to stay at home for that two-week stretch, stay off of public transit, and keep in contact with any follow-ups from public health authorities. Per the Ministry's statement, all three deliberately avoided complying with that final step; so their names were put on blast. This is the first time that the country has actually named and shamed violators since first announcing the policy this past May.
Right now, hospitals across Japan are buckling under a fresh surge of coronavirus cases. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga announced that in order to conserve the few beds they had left, only those that were terminally ill or at serious risk would be admitted into facilities for treatment—at least for now. Last week, the country's newly reported daily COVID-19 caseload exceeded 10,000 for the first time since the pandemic began, and the Tokyo Olympics hasn't exactly helped things, either. As of this writing, there are nearly 300 different athletes and Olympic staffers that have confirmed testing positive for the coronavirus. Hopefully, we won't have to shame them, too.

Russians hail Georgia deal as big win
This week's deal to end the Russia-Georgia war may drive wedge between US and EU.
Dmitry Astakhov/Kremlin/Ria Novosti/Reuters
Pals? French President Nicolas Sarkozy (l.) met Monday with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Moscow.
By Fred Weir Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor
Russian experts are hailing this week's new deal to withdraw Russian troops from Georgia as a big diplomatic win for fledgling Kremlin leader Dmitry Medvedev.
Under the deal, hammered out between French President Nicolas Sarkozy and President Medvedev, and later affirmed by Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, Russian forces will decamp from their "observation posts" inside Georgia within a month, to be replaced by up to 200 observers from the European Union, who are due to arrive by Oct. 1.
Mr. Sarkozy, who holds the EU's revolving presidency, brought Medvedev a Georgian pledge not to use force against its two breakaway republics – a key Russian demand – and Medvedev promised to begin dismantling Russian military checkpoints around the Georgian towns of Poti and Senaki within a week. Georgian officials confirmed Tuesday that Russia had already started withdrawing troops.
The deal may help to drive a wedge between and Washington, which struck a tough note by freezing a US-Russia nuclear cooperation deal on Monday, and a more dovish Europe.
"Moscow is playing on the contradictions between Europe and the US, aiming to show that Sarkozy's pragmatic and respectful approach, rather than Washington's hard-line rhetoric, is the way to achieve concrete results with Russia," says Sergei Strokan, a foreign-policy expert with the liberal Moscow daily Kommersant. "You can't help but notice that the harsher the Kremlin's tone toward the US becomes, the gentler and more subtle becomes its approach to Europe."
If Moscow fulfills the agreement, Sarkozy said, the EU may lift its main punitive measure taken against Russia during the war, which was to suspend ongoing talks on a new strategic partnership deal. "There is no reason why meetings between Russia and Europe ... cannot be resumed in October," he said. "We want partnership and peace, and hardly anyone wants a confrontation between Europe and Russia."
Russian analysts insist that the commitment of EU observers to hold the security zones between Georgia and the rebel statelets of South Ossetia and Abkhazia is exactly what the Kremlin wanted all along.
"It's no problem for Russia to withdraw its military forces from Georgia, because that decision was taken weeks ago," says Alexei Mukhin, director of the independent Center for Political Information in Moscow. "Now the responsibility for what happens there, and Saakashvili's behavior, will rest on the Europeans and not on us."
That tone of satisfaction appears to be matched in Europe, where much of the media Tuesday lauded Sarkozy's ability to finesse the Kremlin and avoid what could have been an awkward breach between the EU and its biggest energy supplier.
"[Sarkozy] can be proud: Not only did he reach a consensus among 27 EU members on Russia, the most divisive subject for members ... but made the Russian bear bow through diplomacy.... This is a demonstration that, united, Europe can obtain much," noted Jean Quatremer, a Brussels-based specialist on Europe writing in a weblog for the Parisian daily Liberation.
Some were more skeptical. Dominique Garraud in the west French daily La Charente Libre said the price of the accord is that "Europe must witness the dismemberment of Georgia."
Under the accord, talks will begin in Geneva on Oct. 15 to address long-term security issues in the wake of the conflict, and the return of refugees. Both sides have accused the other of "ethnic cleansing" during the brief August war, and their clashing arguments are set to play out in hearings that opened Monday at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
The status of the two rebel statelets remains the key source of disagreement, and one that appears unlikely to be resolved in the near future.
Russia's Foreign Ministry pointedly announced that it had exchanged official notes of diplomatic recognition with Abkhazia and South Ossetia on Tuesday. Medvedev told Sarkozy that decision is "final and irreversible."
The two broke away from Georgia amid bitter civil wars after the Soviet Union collapsed, and have had de facto independence under Russian protection ever since, even though the international community recognizes them as part of Georgia's legal territory.
Moscow claims that Georgia's attempt to seize South Ossetia by force, which triggered the war, disqualified Tbilisi's claim on the tiny republic. But, speaking to journalists after meeting Sarkozy, Mr. Saakashvili vowed to win the rebel regions back. "We have a long way ahead toward restoration of Georgia's territorial integrity," he said. "There is no way Georgia will ever give up a piece of its sovereignty, a piece of its territory."
This won't be easy, however. Russia announced Tuesday that it will station about 7,600 troops in Georgia's separatist regions, a sharp increase from the number deployed before Moscow sent in troops last month.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said troops would stay in South Ossetia and Abkhazia for a long time to prevent any "repeat of Georgian aggression."
Sarkozy indicated the status of the two territories would be raised in the coming talks with Russia. "If the international discussion begins in Geneva [on Oct. 15], then there is something to discuss," he said.

Metal-free four-in-one modification of g-C3N4 for superior photocatalytic CO2 reduction and H2 evolution

Utilization of g-C3N4 as a single photocatalyst material without combination with other semiconductor remains challenging. Herein, we report a facile green method for synthesizing a metal free modified g-C3N4 photocatalyst. The modification process combines four different strategies in a one-pot thermal reaction: non-metal doping, porosity generation, functionalization with amino groups, and thermal oxidation etching. The as-prepared amino-functionalized ultrathin nanoporous boron-doped g-C3N4 exhibited a high specific surface area of 143.2 m2 g−1 which resulted in abundant adsorption sites for CO2 and water molecules. The surface amino groups act as Lewis basic sites to adsorb acidic CO2 molecules, which can also serve as active sites to facilitate hydrogen generation. Besides, the simultaneous use of ammonium chloride as a dynamic gas bubble template along with thermal oxidation etching efficiently boosts the delamination of the g-C3N4 layers to produce ultrathin sheets; this leads to stronger light–matter interactions and efficient charge generation. Consequently, the newly modified g-C3N4 achieved selective gas-phase CO2 reduction into CO with a production yield of 21.95 µmol g-1, in the absence of any cocatalyst. Moreover, a high hydrogen generation rate of 3800 µmol g-1 h-1 and prominent apparent quantum yield of 10.6% were recorded. This work opens up a new avenue to explore different rational modifications of g-C3N4 nanosheets for the efficient production of clean energy.

On Jan. 25, 2018, NASA's Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) instrument was launched. GOLD is designed to track big events in the lower atmosphere, such as hurricanes or tsunamis, that create waves that can travel all the way up to this interface to space, changing wind patterns and causing disruptions. From the space side, flurries of energized particles and solar storms carry electric and magnetic fields and have the potential to disrupt Earth's space environment. This combination of factors makes it difficult to predict changes in the ionosphere.
GOLD is novel in two ways: it marks the first time that a NASA science mission is flying an instrument as a commercially hosted payload, and it is the first time scientists will monitor the daily and hourly weather of the uppermost parts of Earth's atmosphere where it meets the edge of space.
Roughly the size of a mini fridge, the 80-pound GOLD instrument is an imaging spectrograph that breaks light down into its component wavelengths and measures their intensities. Specifically, it measures far ultraviolet light, creating full-disk ultraviolet images of Earth from its geostationary vantage point above the Western Hemisphere. GOLD will collect observations with a 30-minute cadence, much higher than any mission that has come before it. From these images, scientists can determine the temperature and relative amounts of different particles—such as atomic oxygen and molecular nitrogen—present in the neutral atmosphere, which is useful for determining how these neutral gases shape ionospheric conditions. These data will provide the first maps of the upper atmosphere's changing temperature and composition all over the Americas.
This image of Earth was taken by the International Space Station crew in December 2017 and has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast, and lens artifacts have been removed.

Zula wins the competition, yet unlike Western singing contests, her only reward is dinner and a place to sleep. The quaint halls of the music academy are miles better than what Zula's used to, but her talent will take her further still. As she progresses and the folk music academy gets more attention, soon she's on tour stops along the cultural centers of Europe. With Zula's haunting singing quality and Wiktor's flair for the piano, the sky's the limit, but anyone expecting a fairytale ending should quietly exit now. The state-sponsored superintendent Kaczmarek (Borys Szyc) poses problems for the couple's hopes of pursuing their own music. The bureaucrat transitions the patriotic ring of traditional folk songs into blatant propaganda. Eventually, the academy that Wiktor helped found sees him out the door. Though separation should end their courtship, Zula and Wiktor find themselves back together over and over–even as viewers wonder why.
Judging from the film's fast-paced chronology, it's not entirely clear that this couple loves each other. The camera is omnipresent for the blow-ups, but anything resembling kindness must be cut during flash forwards. Pawel Pawlikowski has said in interviews that Wiktor and Zula are stand-ins of his own parents, but, more accurately, they resemble Sid and Nancy. For the small time that they are together, Wiktor and Zula have a tendency to go for the jugular; the few quiet moments of intimacy are just used as weapons for annihilation later. The malevolent glee in Zula's eyes as she tears into Wiktor is more pronounced any look of affection she gives. Juxtaposed against other romance films, the information that Zula and Wiktor learn about each other doesn't make their newfound love grow. They use what they've learned about each other for bludgeoning. In one instance, Zula threatens to inform on him to the state.
Being told by the film that two people are wildly in love doesn't make it so. 20 years split over 90 minutes leaves too much unseen and untouched; despite their chemistry, Wiktor and Zula's unengaged pairing leaves audiences unenthused. Adding to the emotional dissonance is that viewers don't get to know Zula at all. Curiously, for all of the time jumps, Zula's point of view is never featured. She is the more interesting of the two characters, but the story always follows Wiktor into his bouts of isolation instead.
For its lack of an emotional connection, Cold War does have its advantages. As times change, so does the music and the styles, but the black and white cinematography always looks gorgeous. A stylistic choice Paweł Pawlikowski made before with Ida, the black and white works even better for the backdrop of Cold War. The darkly dressed Wiktor and Zula stand out against the brutal, frigid winter storms. Pawlikowski's choice to use the Academy ratio expands the black skies into the frame so that it appears the contents of the frame are being squeezed. Each shot places as much pressure on Zula/Wiktor as the restrictive conditions of their homeland. The mood isn't always somber, however, there's plenty of gallows humor at play. A man hanging a "We welcome tomorrow!" banner from the academy marquee meets an early death after falling from a ladder. The custodians don't even pause for a moment of silence before they start the disposal of his body. A laugh doesn't come much darker than that. Though the real howl comes later on in the film. It's the first time that Wiktor has seen Zula in years, and the music swells as she rushes toward him–and then by him as she desperately fights the urge. Undercutting an over-used movie moment is a clever choice, but one that also reiterates that the connection between Zula and Wiktor isn't strong.
There's no hook, no emotional linchpin to Cold War that, say, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind possesses. Thanks to the multiple time jumps, we see every pivotal moment of Wiktor and Zula's relationship, but those are also their worst moments. Viewers don't desperately hope for Wiktor and Zula to reunite, rather they fear the repercussions of when the couple will come together again. Zula and Wiktor aren't fully-fleshed characters, rather a metaphor that allows Pawlikowski to ask: could you love a country like you would a person? In this case, the answer should still the same. No.
