Experience the latest from DEDON, including Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby's TIBBO lounging, Sebastian Herkner's MBRACE dining, Lorenza Bozzoli's BRIXX with backrests and Jean-Marie Massaud's new SEAYOU deck chair.
Renowned British designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby created TIBBO for an era in which indoor and outdoor living spaces are merging. DEDON's first collection in teak, TIBBO combines meticulous craftsmanship, superior comfort and remarkable lightness in a design that's distinctive, elegant and pure. Comprising both dining and lounge elements in a mix of teak, textiles and woven fiber, TIBBO conveys an exceptionally rich and luxurious look and feel.
MBRACE by Sebastian Herkner takes a joyfully unconventional approach to poolside furniture, bringing DEDON fiber seating and a solid teak base together for the very first time. The result is an eyecatching, instantly likable collection for lounging, dining and more. MBRACE captures the spirit of barefoot luxury while extending the DEDON design language into new, more Nordic territory.
SEAYOU by Jean-Marie Massaud raises the classic deck chair to a new standard of comfort, elegance and modernity. From its integrated headrest cushion to its stainless steel adjustment mechanism, no detail has been overlooked. A stand-alone cousin to Massaud's iconic SEAX collection, SEAYOU complements the entire DEDON portfolio, bringing eclectic charm to any outdoor furniture arrangement.
The award-winning BRIXX modular system, DEDON's first fully upholstered collection, is now more versatile, functional and luxuriously comfortable than ever. Four new modules — all with fixed backrests — have been added to the collection's original line-up of three backless sofa modules, offering unlimited possibilities for configuring BRIXX to any setting, outdoors or in.


Pressed flowers. Mint chocolate-chip ice cream. A first dance. A final phone call. As the United States marks 17 years of war, the families of 17 fallen service members share treasured memories.
Petty Officer 1st Class Joseph John Pycior Jr.
The weekend before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, my entire family went to Baltimore to tour a railroad museum. While in Baltimore, we trekked to Inner Harbor and went to a beautiful bookstore housed in an old industrial building. My father loved reading and always had a book within reach. When he deployed with the Navy, there were no smartphones, not even iPods, so he had books — from Tom Clancy to Homer.
Sept. 8, 2001, was a warm late-summer day, yet we made the mile walk to the bookstore because it was always time for a new book. My father's friends would always say, "If you want to find Joe, go to the library." I think I got my love of reading from him, and it has helped me through adolescence and into young adulthood.
You never forget the last conversation you have with a loved one before they pass. I was 10 years old when my father died in a training accident, and the morning before he died was the last real conversation we ever had. He drove me to school and used the time to grill me on my spelling words. It was the hardest spelling test I had that year. He promised me that if I got an A he would stop and pick up a gallon of mint chocolate chip ice cream on his way back from his trip.
On April 12, 2002, I skipped all the way home, knowing that I had gotten an A on the test he helped me study for. I arrived at the house the exact same time the casualty officers did. Instead of ice cream, I received the notification of my father, SFC Jeffrey Haycock's, death.
When a loved one dies by suicide, the immense guilt over whether you could have prevented it never goes away. My mom, Senior Airman Nichole Haycock, served in the Air Force and had undocumented PTSD and depression. Some days she was the best mom ever, and others she couldn't get out of bed.
The last time I saw her was not just a good day, it was one of the best. She came to visit me in D.C. to attend the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) gala. We spent the day getting our hair, makeup and nails done. We got dressed up and had the best night honoring my late father and being surrounded by people who had also lost a loved one in the military. We were both just so happy that night. I never imagined I would become a Gold Star child for the second time only two weeks later, in 2011.
Josh loved what he did, and from childhood he wanted to serve his country. His service began at West Point and continued until he was killed July 23, 2003, in Iraq. He was commander of Fox Company, 2/3 ACR [2nd Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment] and was leading a convoy to Fallujah when an IED exploded. He was killed instantly, but before taking his last breath, he gave a command to his driver. Josh said, "Keep Moving Forward." By obeying, the driver continued moving even though his vehicle was disabled, and lives were saved.
Since losing Josh, those words, "Keep Moving Forward," help me daily to do my best to continue his legacy, which also encompasses what he always strove to do, serve others.
I also believe this is a message that he left for all of us as we struggle through the difficulties that life throws at us.
10 p.m., July 21, 2004: I was tired. It was a long, hot day as counselor at Girl Scout day camp, caring for three young kids and with parents visiting from out of town . . . and now a flat tire after a quick sightseeing trip to Providence, R.I., to see the WaterFire. I called you in your hotel in Norfolk while you were on TDY [temporary duty] attending a class, but you didn't answer. I left an angry message — upset that I had to deal with all of this alone.
Around 12:30 a.m., July 22, 2004: You called and woke me up from a sound sleep after getting back and hearing my message. I don't remember the conversation, only that you were sorry for our struggles. We exchanged "I love you" before hanging up.
I didn't know that it was going to be the last conversation we would ever have, that you would collapse and die of a freak cardiac arrhythmia just a few hours later in class.
I have so many beautiful memories of my husband, John. We had been together for 23 years when he died, so of course the memories are many and often flood my mind. As a Marine Corps Cobra pilot, John traveled the world on combat or training tours. No matter where John was, he would pick a flower and press it in a book. He would then send me that flower with a beautiful letter about where he picked it and why it reminded him of me.
John died by suicide, three months after he returned from that tour.
For me and my son, the words "until the end" mean just that. Until the end of time, he will be in our hearts and us in his!
Tim was killed in a freak line-of-duty accident in 2008, right before he was supposed to leave for his final trip to Iraq.
We have so many letters and notes. Daniel was a kind, loving young man. We flew along with his dad to his recruit graduation. That moment he received his Eagle, Globe and Anchor was one he had wanted since he was a small child. We were all so happy for him. After graduation, we got lost driving in San Diego. Daniel patiently guided us to our location at the beach. We miss his love, smile and hugs.
My brother, Sgt. Nicholas Pansini, gave the most excellent, spine-cracking hugs. They lingered as they released and endured when he had to leave. One hug, however, stands out as not so warming.
When I was shopping at an outdoor mall with my mom and sister shortly after Nick was honorably discharged from the Marines, Nick ran out of a restaurant he was at to hug me from behind. We did not know Nick was also at the mall, so I reacted in terror by digging my tiny nails into his hand. My mom was startled, then laughed. I was uneasy until I turned to see the face of who held me, then I relaxed, feeling relieved that it was my brother. Those dime-size nail marks will remain his most friendly scars, and that hug will remain the most shocking and comforting one I have received.
Omar was funny, charismatic and charming, but romance wasn't something he did often. We eloped in Las Vegas in 2006, so we didn't have a first dance. It wasn't something that bothered me, but I would've liked to have had that memory with him.
One night in Fort Irwin, Calif., a few months after we got married, Omar made me get up, turned on "When You Say Nothing at All" by Alison Krauss and danced with me in our bedroom. He held me tight and told me this was the first dance we never had. It was a small romantic gesture that still keeps my heart warm when I think about it, even now almost five years after his death and over 12 years after that dance.
He was killed in action in December 2013.
The Fourth of July was always the best time of the year, from grilling with the whole family to the small-town-Wisconsin fireworks. The classic Old Navy or Faded Glory shirts were religiously worn each year by the whole family. Multiple years in a row in Tomahawk, Wis., firefighters would spray the streets to cool everyone down after the parade.
Being a teenager, I did not want to splash around in the water like the younger kids. That's when Dad picked me up like a sack of potatoes and ran to the middle of the street and spun me around until we were both on the verge of puking. That was the last year I had with my other half by my side, and I would do anything to play like a child in the street with my daddy again.
He died by suicide in 2014 after deployments to the Persian Gulf and Bosnia.
Dave had tears in his eyes when he told me, "I wish I knew how it was all going to turn out." He was wistful, talking about our little girls. We had our daughters late, well into my 30s for me and into his 40s for him. He knew the odds were good he would miss out on some things. He probably wasn't counting on missing out on so much, though. When he died suddenly and unexpectedly on that cold February morning, our daughters were 2 and 6.
Many years before, his grandfather, a two-star admiral in the Navy who in 1916 initiated what would turn into 102 unbroken years of family service to the U.S. Navy, lamented the same thing to Dave just before he died in the 1980s.
I, too, wonder how it will all turn out.
Rick was always outgoing and upbeat, welcoming and service-oriented, but also a laid-back, even-keeled kind of guy and devoted to his wife and two daughters. He flew supersonic missions and broke the sound barrier many times, and he would go home to say that it was just another day at the office and that it was no big deal. Being surrounded by girls in the house, he got used to pink sparkles and became a master at putting their long hair into ponytails, but he also created a passion in his girls for football, airplanes and knowing their way around a toolbox. He is so very missed every single day. His "ladies" (as he would call them) are his Living Legacy.
He was killed in a terrible accident in the line of duty on Aug. 31, 2014.
High winds chased all the other boats off the small lake when Chris, my husband and I decided to test our new racing catamaran sailboat just before Chris left for the Army. We were zooming when the boat cartwheeled, sending us flying. Wearing life jackets, we quickly righted the boat, which immediately took off without us. Chris was the first to catch the boat as a 20-pound carp jumped on board. It was hilarious watching Chris try to wrestle the slimy, smelly fish. Back under sail, we noticed the multiple emergency vehicles and a firemen rescue boat chasing us clad in full gear. Quite the entertainment for the large crowd gathered on shore. I will always smile at the memory of our first and last family sailboat-racing day.
Army Ranger Cpl. Christopher James Carter, 22, died by suicide in 2015 on active duty after serving four deployments to Afghanistan and losing a close buddy in combat.
When we dropped him off, the ship was busier than usual. Our boys were always comfortable on a warship, and they proceeded to climb all over Daddy's bunk. Their stress showed as they became increasingly hyper. Daniel and I stood together, arm in arm, watching our favorite little people. Soon we went to the brow for long hugs and kisses goodbye. On that cold and windy day, we stood on the pier searching for Daniel. When we found him on the bridge, we waved and yelled for him as the ship grew smaller in the distance. Although we knew we had videos and voice mails to look forward to, it was a tough day; two of our boys were wired while the other was somber. Our reunions had been better than birthdays and Christmas combined; sadly, the last reunion wasn't to be. Instead, Daniel received dignified transfer home.
Daniel died while on deployment in the Mediterranean aboard the USS Jason Dunham in 2015 at the age of 37.
During the 10 years we were married, I became accustomed to my Air Force husband missing birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions. My children and I always found our "military family" wherever we moved and were grateful to spend special days together. My husband was scheduled to be TDY [temporary duty] for two weeks over our 10th wedding anniversary, but at the last minute his travel was canceled. Opportunities like this didn't happen often, so we quickly booked our dream trip: a week of scuba diving in Bonaire on the actual date of our anniversary.
My husband was my absolute best friend in this world, and we were so happily married. The week away without our boys provided us with that incredibly important alone time to just focus on each other. My husband was killed [in 2016] shortly after that trip, and I will always be grateful that we made a big deal of celebrating the milestone of our 10th anniversary.
My favorite memory of Brandon is our first date. We met online and had our first date on his 26th birthday. He joked that he'd never forget our anniversary. For our date, we went to a Cubs/Cardinals game at Wrigley Field. We were both Cardinals fans, so it was perfect. I remember him getting mad that I bought him a birthday beer because it isn't right for a woman to pay on a first date. That's when I knew he was a keeper. And the Cardinals won that game!
This project was produced with support from the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, a nonprofit organization that assists those grieving the loss of a loved one who died while serving in our Armed Forces or as a result of his or her service (www.TAPS.org or 800-959-8277).

The Lasses, O. by Janet Paisley.
"...so passionately inventive and well-made, that on Saturday night in Melrose, some of the audience were moved to a standing ovation...a new perspective on Burns...a passionate and beautifully pitched performance from Gerda Stevenson. John Bett's production, is one of the most subtly feminist shows I've seen in a while; one in which the desire, creativity, nurturing energy and tradition-bearing power of women take a memorable leading role, even as they celebrate the life and song of a rare man who, instead of fearing the sensual power of women, matched it with his own, allowing it to soar free."
Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman, April, 2009.
Photography and Lighting Design by Andrew Wilson www.gobolight.co.uk
"The Lasses, O - skilfully written, subtly directed by John Bett for the Rowan Tree company, performed with terrific commitment and no little virtuosity by Gerda Stevenson, and accompanied by three young (and female, naturally) musicians, is about as neat a small-scale show about Burns as you could ask for - original, amusing...thoughtful and celebratory." The Times, March 2009..
"Oh, the Lasses were a hit! Gerda Stevenson played all four women in a magisterial performance – her Scots perfect, her evocation of Janet Paisley's characters precise and immediate.
The musicians, Seylan Baxter, Lillias Kinsman-Blake and Rachel Newton, were themselves an integral part of the stories, their exciting music and singing like a Greek chorus. The audience was spellbound." The Southern Reporter, April, 2009.

Angela Cring, who has been in a management role with the Louisiana Gulf Coast Oil Exposition since 2009, most recently serving as planning and technology director, has assumed the reins as executive director. She is only the third person to hold the job in the 57-year history of what has become one of the largest energy expositions in the country. Cring replaces Sally Ware, who retired after serving almost 32 years. With Ware's help, Cring effectively directed the sellout 2011 show and will assume control over the successful exposition in 2013. Originally from Alexandria, she has a bachelor of science in environmental geology and political science from Millsaps College and a master's degree in geology from the University of Mississippi. She has experience both in the public and private sector, having worked for the U.S. Geological Survey and as a geo-hazards geologist. Cring, who knows has she has big shoes to fill, appears to be more than up to challenge.
What was your first position with LAGCOE and did you have any notion you might take over one day?
In the summer of 2005 I was working as a consulting geologist. The project I was involved in wrapped up, so Sally asked me if I'd like to come help her out at the LAGCOE office as it got closer to the 2005 show. Despite careful planning, the months leading up to the shows are hectic and we work at fever pitch. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita put a halt to everything, as the Cajundome was utilized for disaster recovery, and I went back to my geo-hazards consulting work, which picked up significantly because of the impact of the hurricanes. Given my experience in 2005, I was asked to return for the show in 2007, and it wasn't until I began working for LAGCOE a full six months prior to the 2009 show that I ever thought it possible that I might take over someday.
Did you feel like you were working in a man's world?
No, it does not feel like a man's world to me. Maybe that is partially because of my background as a scientist. There are typically more men than women in geology, so I guess that has just become the norm for me. Also, I think professionals in the industry have evolved to think less in terms of gender and are more focused on teaming together to tackle challenges and move the industry forward.
How big a role did you play in the 2011 show and was it sufficient to prepare you for 2013?
I effectively produced and managed the 2011 show, implementing many changes such as the new exposition management software, registration system, and phone app, which I researched, planned and directed with Sally's guidance as she prepared me to take her position. This experience, in addition to that gained from the two previous shows, has prepared me for 2013.
What went well in 2011, any records broken for attendance, etc. and what do you hope to do even better in 2013?
In 2011, LAGCOE was sold out with nearly 400 companies exhibiting and over 250 companies on the exhibitor wait list. Attendees came from 47 states and 26 countries. Exhibitors and attendees benefitted from our new phone app, streamlined registration process, effective exposition management software, additional creative sponsorship opportunities, and enhanced exhibitor information section on our website. For 2013 we will continue to make updates that will keep the show relevant and give attendees even more reason to come. Between each show we work to learn more about industry needs and concerns so that we are able to provide a better experience each time.
What was the level of optimism about the industry at the 2011 show?
During the 2011 show, a number of companies asked us what they needed to do to be able to participate in 2013. That is a great indication of a positive outlook for the next couple of years.
What do you see as the biggest issue facing the industry in 2012 and beyond?
Industry regulations are certainly today's biggest issue and, in my opinion, will remain so for some time. I also believe maintaining a workforce that is trained and experienced in an industry that has such ups and downs as ours is a challenge. Oil and gas professionals rely on the "never quit" spirit to successfully meet new industry demands. LAGCOE celebrates this spirit and provides a stage for the demonstration of innovative new solutions that keep the industry moving forward with Lafayette at the heart of it all.
When the curtain came down on the show Oct. 27, what was the day after like? Do y'all take a break or does the 2013 show planning start immediately after?
The day after the show is moving day for us. Our office is relocated to the Convention Center the week before LAGCOE and we move back to Heymann Boulevard in the Oil Center the day after. We didn't take much of a break after the 2011 show because we were focused on evaluating and wrapping up everything from 2011 while we still had the opportunity to pick Sally's brain. This year will be spent cataloging and archiving LAGCOE information; analyzing and reconfiguring organizational systems if necessary; developing and implementing marketing plans; prioritizing and focusing new ideas; continuing to utilize and expand on social media efforts; networking with industry professionals to better understand their needs and to increase interest in LAGCOE; growing international relationships through meetings with embassies, consulates and national oil companies; planning and bidding all exposition services; and effectively communicating with exhibitors to begin placement for the 2013 show.
Did last year's show give you any ideas about how to make the 2013 show more exciting? Any fresh ideas for it?
We have too many ideas at this point and will be prioritizing and focusing our efforts in the next few months. For more than 57 years LAGCOE has been meeting industry needs right in the heart of our country's energy corridor. I take this responsibility seriously and want to honor my predecessors' work while building upon it with new ideas that keep LAGCOE a well-attended and highly anticipated show.
Do you have any mentors in the oilfield, someone who really helped you along and educated you about the dynamics of the industry?
Sally Ware has demonstrated grace under pressure and taught me how important it is to support the industry as it weathers ups and downs. LAGCOE is also blessed with dedicated volunteers who, show after show, give their time and talents to make LAGCOE the successful show it is. I have learned from these dedicated men and women that LAGCOE is like one big family - all connected with a desire to keep Lafayette the home of one of the largest oil and gas shows in the U.S.
What might people not know about you? What do you enjoy doing when you're away from the office?
I may come across as quiet and unassuming, but I am a former debate team captain, so don't be fooled. I can hold my own. I am mom to a 3-year-old daughter who has given me a passion and special interest in helping to improve our education system in Acadiana. For as long as I can remember my hobby has been being involved.
Sally spent almost 32 years there. Where will you be in 32 years?
Thirty two years from now I hope LAGCOE will be on its 4th highly successful executive director, and I will be retired with my husband taking frequent trips to the mountains and beach with our daughter and grandchildren.

CLEVELAND – In the seventh of eight meetings between the two teams this season, Cleveland's Lake Erie Monsters were defeated by the Manitoba Moose on Friday at The Q by a final score of 4-0. With the loss, the Monsters fell to 33-20-5-5 overall this season and with a .603 points percentage, remain alone in fourth place in the AHL's Central Division standings.
The Moose grabbed a 1-0 lead on Friday with the first period's lone score, an even-strength marker for Dan DeSalvo at 6:03. In the middle frame, Manitoba extended their edge at 16:04 with a five-on-five tally by Brendan Kichton to take a 2-0 advantage into the final stanza. Two third period goals, from Darren Kramer at 11:20 at even-strength and a Julian Melchiori empty-netter at 17:29, capped the scoring for the Moose and delivered Manitoba a 4-0 victory.
Joonas Korpisalo stopped 19 of the 22 pucks he faced in defeat on Friday to fall to 6-7-2 in net for the Monsters this season while Moose net-minder Connor Hellebuyck earned the win for Manitoba by virtue of a 36-save shutout performance.
Next up for the Monsters, it's a Saturday rematch vs. Manitoba with full coverage, live from The Q, underway at 7:00 pm on 99X and the Monsters Hockey Network.

Whistler is most well known for its skiing, but it's a super place to come with kids year round. In summer there's hiking, biking, swimming, canoeing, trail rides, and or just playing on the sandy beach at Lost Lake. Whistler turns into a snowy wonderland in winter, with skiing, tubing, dog sledding and sleigh rides.


For this little piece i came up with the title first and it was all just plain sailing from there on in. I think it may have been after i was listening to 'Suspicious minds' that this one came to mind – although it's always tricky to be sure. The stencil is quite small and i'm reasonably happy with the result. I think next time i should probably try and get a crisp note for such purposes.

Pro-Strength Polar Winter Pool Cover 16x36 ft Rectangle is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 7.
AFFORDABLE & DEPENDABLE POOL COVER!
Covering your in-ground pool over the winter season is important to keep the water fresh and clean. Winter polar covers for in-ground swimming pools offer a low-priced option for pool owners who are not looking for a ten year pool cover. We offer 10 types of pool covers, to meet every pool budget, and the Pro-Strength Polar Covers are the perfect example of affordable, yet dependable, winter pool protection.
Our pro-strength polar in-ground pool covers not only prevent falling debris from entering your pool and contaminating the water, they also stop harsh winter weather from damaging your pool and pool surfaces.
Pro-strength polar in-ground pool covers feature a weather-tough top coating to resist weather damage from sun and rain.
When you order one of our pro-strength polar in-ground pool covers you can trust that you are getting a quality cover at an affordable price. Plus, our polar in-ground pool covers are available for all pool sizes. Our most common size is 25x45, made to cover a 20'x40' pool, but we have sizes on the shelf for inground pools up to 30'x60'.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gary from Pool Cover The pool cover is actually a tarp....it is sufficient in size and has the loops for securing the water sleeves, and I feel it is worth the money.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jimmy from Great quality. I bought this product to replace the cover i used last year...I just wish I would have ordered this cover last year..very good cover for the price.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Boopie from Inground Pool cover I bought this a couple of weeks ago and it is now covering my pool. I was not impressed with the quality of the cover but I put it on the pool anyways. It already has a couple of places where there is a hole in it. So I know this cover will only last for the winter and next season I will have to buy a new one.
Rated 5 out of 5 by J Vogt from Tarp me! Arrived quicker than expected. Gotta love this company! Ordered from them several times before. Never an issue.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ren 22 from Spend More $$$ I bought this less expensive cover to get me thru one year, as I plan on getting a custom solid anchor type cover next year. This cover has ripped at the seams after 3 weeks and that was with no rain water on it just some light wind. Do not purchase this cover. Also the dimensions they say you will get are short by 11" each way.
Rated 5 out of 5 by izzidon from Pool cover Picture in the catalog showed a blue cover but it came with both sides of the cover looking like both sides were the bottom color (a darkish gray). Just wonder if I am missing a layer. The cover itself seems good. I went and put the cover on the pool.
5. If you tie your cover to a fence or other permanent structure, be sure to use a rope with slack to avoid pulling at the cover. This will allow the cover to shift as snow and ice accumulate without pulling out the corner tabs or straps. Water tubes, aqua blocks, cover clips or wall bags should still be used.

Silver-Zinc vs Li-ion
Hearing Aid User Resources
Next-Level Rechargeable Batteries for Hearing Aids Are Here
ZPower has introduced high-energy rechargeable batteries for hearing aids that can be retrofitted for use with many major hearing aid brands, making it a convenient option for patients.
Hearing aids retrofitted with ZPower batteries and customized battery doors can be recharged without requiring users to open the battery doors or remove the battery from the device.
Many hearing aid users rely upon disposable batteries to maintain their hearing and power their devices. It's a surprising fact in a world where consumers have become accustomed to charging their phones or laptops.
ZPower, based in Camarillo, CA, is trying to change this. It has introduced its rechargeable battery technology to the hearing aid market, giving patients the opportunity to charge their hearing aids at night instead of changing out disposable batteries every few days.
While rechargeable batteries, mainly using nickel-metal hydride, do exist for the hearing aid market, Ross Dueber, PhD, ZPower's president and CEO, said adoption has been limited because rechargeable batteries often have lower energy than a disposable and sometimes don't last all day.
"A hearing aid battery is fairly highly demanding because of the fact that you're wearing it for so long all the time and it's always operating, as opposed to your laptop, where it spends a lot of time just in idle or even your cell phone, it just sits there. A hearing aid is always active," Dueber said.
ZPower batteries use silver zinc technology, which isn't entirely new but hasn't been widely adopted for consumer electronics because of factors like cost and the price volatility of precious metal. The small size of hearing aid batteries offsets these concerns, allowing for the use of silver zinc technology. "It has more energy per volume, more energy per weight than a typical lithium ion battery has today that we use in our laptops, our cell phones, and our mobile devices," said Dueber.
Patients may go through as many as 100 disposable batteries per hearing aid each year, depending on the hearing aid model and how often the device is used, Dueber said. In addition, newer models allow users to stream music and phone calls to their hearing aids, adding to the energy demand of the device. ZPower batteries can last 16-20 hours a day even with streaming use, he explained, and users can simply recharge the battery at night. Users can have the ZPower replaced, but that shouldn't be necessary for at least a year, Dueber said.
To make recharging the batteries more seamless, ZPower has designed customized battery doors for various hearing aid models in order to enable recharging without necessitating removal of the batteries from the device. Patients who want a rechargeable option can have their hearing aid's battery door switched out at the dispenser's office.
Michael Andreozzi, BS, BC-HIS, sees this ease-of-use as a winning factor, from the perspective of both the patient and hearing professional. He should know. As the CEO of Beltone New England and Beltone Carolina-Virginia and as a hearing aid user himself, he pointed out that with ZPower rechargeable batteries, he doesn't have to change batteries nor open battery doors. Instead, he and the patients who choose ZPower can just take off their hearing aids and drop them in the charger. A light changes color to let the user know the charging capability is engaged, he said.
So far, Dueber said, ZPower has customized offerings for approximately 50% of the major hearing aid manufacturers and is targeting modern devices that enable Bluetooth streaming of music and phone calls since these models require frequent disposable battery changes. In addition to trade secrets, the company has over 100 patents worldwide on its battery technology, software algorithms, and the customized rechargeable battery door.
Dueber explained that ZPower strives to keep the cost neutral for patients when compared to disposable batteries, though individuals may end up saving money depending on how the hearing care provider prices the rechargeable option.
"The value in it is not so much in how much you were paying for a year's supply worth of batteries or three or four years as much as it is simply the convenience of you not having to run to the store or order on the Internet and keep batteries all around your environment . . ." Dueber said.
ZPower's limited launch has resulted in more than 100 offices selling the batteries and almost 3000 patients wearing the product. Dueber said the plan is to expand across the United States and into overseas markets in the near term.
Andreozzi said that when ZPower approached his Beltone dispenser almost a year ago about piloting the technology, he had just learned from a focus group study that a rechargeable hearing aid was repeatedly one of the top features patients wanted in a hearing aid. So, when he heard about ZPower's ability to retrofit rechargeable battery doors on hearing aids, "I thought it was genius . . . frankly, I couldn't believe nobody else thought of it, including myself."
From a pilot test with over 100 patients that was received positively, Andreozzi said over 1600 of the dispensers' patients use it now. He noted that as a patient, he is a heavy streamer but still gets a full day of battery life. What's more, he's seen the hearing aid return rate for ZPower battery-powered devices reduced by three or four percentage points from the average 12% seen in the industry.
ZPower's technology is getting noticed beyond the industry. The company was recently named an Edison Award Finalist(winners will be announced in late April) and was also a CES 2016 Innovation Awards Honoree.
Dueber sees a number of additional opportunities for ZPower's small, high-energy, rechargeable battery. "As we take a look at this whole hearables, wearables market that we hear about for on-body computing, the world's going to need better, smaller batteries to enable that and we think we can be a significant contributor to enabling those new products to happen.

"Expressive Eyebrows": Azat Miftakhov Jailed After Secret Witness Testifies
"Combating Terrorism" in Petersburg

"The pair discussed combating terrorism[.]"
—Christi Parsons and Tracy Wilkinson, "Trump and Putin have first official phone conversation amid European anxiety about future relations," Los Angeles Times, January 28, 2017
From April You'll Need a Doctor's Certificate to Get through Metal Detectors in Petersburg Subway
Fontanka.ru
Starting March 30, the Petersburg subway will be equipped with special barriers to stop people, including those whose medical conditions prevent them from walking through metal detectors.
The Petersburg subway's press service told Fontanka.ru the special barriers had begun to be installed last year as part of the Federal Law on Transportation Security. They were tested at the Tekhnologichesky Institut station, and during the entire time they were in service, no conflicts with passengers arose, subway management insists.
Since the new year, the barriers have been installed at several more stations. Passengers with pacemakers and metal implants should proceed as follows at these stations: they should press a special button on the barrier to summon a trained staff member. The staff member is obliged to check the relevant doctor's certificate and, if there are any more questions for the passenger, send him to have his personal belongings inspected. Passengers without doctor's certificates will not be allowed to enter the subway, warns subway management.
Not all passengers are aware of the changes, and they have had trouble getting through the turnstiles. A Fontanka.ru reader has told us that, on the morning of January 25, he had been unable to bypass the metal detector at the Grazhdansky Prospekt subway station, as he had been able to do on previously. The man, who had metal implants installed in his head during an operation, claims he waited ten minutes for a subway staffer to personally inspect his belongings. When the subway employee arrived, he told the man that, according to regulations, he would not let him into the subway without a doctor's certificate.
"No warnings had been posted in advance," writes the reader, angry at having wasted so much time.
Subway management could not confirm additional efforts would be made to inform passengers, noting the necessary signage had already been posted in station lobbies.

Outdoor Insider – Bringing you the best of the outdoors.
I recently went on an overnight hike through Harriman state park. After not having been back in a while, I was quickly reminded of the beauty of the small park.


Anyone who reads "To Travel Hopefully" at least occasionally knows that I'm a major lover of street fairs and festivals. Nowhere else can you capture the colors, sounds, flavors, and feel of a city's local culture as readily. I'm fortunate to live in the San Francisco Bay Area, where there are literally hundreds of diverse and fascinating festivals each year. Probably my favorite of all is the annual Carnaval celebration, a pan-Latin outpouring of samba dancing, music, color, cuisine, culture, and even cars. Anyone in San Francisco can tell you that Carnaval here takes place in late May, thanks to the rather chilly weather that prevails during the more traditional carnival season around Mardi Gras in February. But Carnaval SF has a lesser-known cousin, Mardi Gras SF, that does indeed take place at the same time Mardi Gras is celebrated in New Orleans, Rio de Janeiro, Martinique, and other places around the world. Today's post focuses on last February's Mardi Gras celebrations all around the city of San Francisco, during which the music, traditions, costumes, and dancing of the world's more famous carnivals comes to California for one crazy night.

Will the poor really benefit from TRAIN and SSB Laws?
Some lawmakers use assumptions more than real life data. I've been reminded of Mang Ben the fishball vendor near our school gate venerated as saviour by many hungry students. Like me, he's been mentioned in valedictory speeches as source of hope and inspiration and like me, he was never consulted nor considered in the passing of TRAIN (President Duterte's Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion), SSB Sugar Sweetened Beverages Tax and Oil Excise Tax. Just like the rest of my coteachers too numb of surprising laws and realities these days, the indifference is felt but the angsts grow within. If they say it will benefit the minimum waged and PWDs like me, they may be wrong. Mang Ben may seem simple still selling all these streetfood faves but through the years, he had already produced 4 college graduates and upon hearing the teachers who borrowed from loan sharks that riding-hail apps earn a lot, they've all gambled and bought new cars. Little do we all know that we'd suffer if this will pass into law. Why? Mang Ben may not be affected with the income tax reform law but his newly-bought car from loan sharks will be taxed. His fuel consumption like mine will also increase tax. His products of which most contain much sugar will also increase tax. He has no idea he may not be able to pay enough taxes for his new car. Being a PWD public school teacher on other hand may seem most to take advantage of these tax reforms but I am also one among many who succumbed to the culture of borrowing money to invest. I've also borrowed money to invest in hail-riding apps and my fuel consumption may significantly affect mu drivers' confidence and operations. I will also be surprised and I may be taxed accordingly because I work double the load of the regular teachers and have risen up the ladder above the minimum wage. What feels clear in the hullabaloo of this proposed tax reform law is the fact that I will still suffer. Mang Ben and I will still be in poverty because of the new and the existing laws on taxes not strictly implemented. We have not been effectively implementing previous laws so why should we claim this TRAIN Bill will redeem the previous injustice. Please reconsider Mr.President. Please think of me and Mang Ben.

MAKING CLIMATE ACTION EVERYONE'S BUSINESS
Your voice deserves to be heard.
Join the coalition today
Since its launch at the 11th World Chambers Congress in June 2019, the Chambers Climate Coalition has catalysed an unprecedented mobilisation of local business leaders in support of bold action to tackle climate change.
Today, members of the Coalition total more than:
CHAMBERS & AFFILIATE ORGANISATIONS
ABOUT THE COALITION
We believe climate action is everyone's business.
Small and medium-sized business represent 90% of the global economy and are already being disproportionately harmed by the effects of climate change However, when harnessed at scale, the power of small businesses in combatting further environmental decline cannot be denied.
The Chambers Climate Coalition is grounded in the belief that a practical response to climate change must be rooted in creating enabling regulatory environments where local businesses and communities can feel empowered to take action – without sacrificing their bottom lines.
Since its launch at the 11th World Chambers Congress in 2019, our coalition has attracted support and signatories from a diverse range of chamber members and leaders across the world. Our mission is to create a global forum that offers members actionable, real-world solutions and recommendations on cost-effective, sustainable business practices aligned with Paris targets. In parallel, we act as a trusted partner to multinational businesses and governments in identifying and implementing incentives which support small actors in their supply chains and their communities on their journeys to reduce their environmental impact.
Our grassroots movement provides a unique opportunity to join an insightful, international network of chambers sharing best practices, policies and processes tailored for business needs. Association leaders can directly learn from peers about strategies they are takingto help members simultaneously address climate ambitions while growing their businesses, all while gaining a seat at the table to influence emerging global policy.
Together, we can drive the transition to a cleaner and more resilient planet.
Making Climate Action Everyone's Business
Climate change threatens our resources and infrastructure and poses a significant challenge to our ability to thrive on the planet. The most widely accepted scientific assessments confirm that mitigating human-induced climate change is the most prudent and responsible course of action we can take to protect our future.
Our coalition supports the Paris Agreement's overarching objective of "holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, recognising that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change."
Building a cleaner world and more durable economies requires a global cooperative effort, as climate solutions must be deployed at a large scale. That's why the Chambers Climate Coalition believes climate action is everyone's business and is here to empower local businesses and chambers to drive meaningful change.
As a member of the Coalition, you can expect to:
Connect with a community of chambers dedicated to sharing proven and effective best practices and initiatives tailored to local business needs.
Leverage collective bargaining power and gain a seat at the table to influence global policy decisions.
Celebrate climate action success and support progress of the broader #Chambers4Climate community.
Collaborate with public and private entities to support cost-effective climate solutions and policies that work for people and the planet.
Be directly involved in the global effort to mainstream climate mitigation into chamber services.

"Since 2001, the Geneva Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Services has welcomed more than 600 companies, which have shared experience on topics such as waste management, carbon dioxide, industrial ecology or green teams, during our "Sustainable Management Meetings."
Director of the political department, in charge of Sustainable Development issues.
Since 2001, when the Agenda 21 of the canton of Geneva started to be implemented, the Geneva Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Services (CCIG) has worked to raise awareness among its member companies of the importance of moving towards sustainable development.
To this end, it has forged a fruitful partnership with the Cantonal Office of Sustainable Development and the University of Applied Sciences to create a forum for exchanges, entitled "Sustainable Management Meetings". These meetings have two objectives: they promote sustainable management and encourage the exchange between companies of best practices.
Over the years, more than 600 companies have taken part in these events, many of which have covered topics related to the environment and climate. Examples include waste management, ecology at work, building, carbon dioxide, industrial ecology or green teams.
