Bell's palsy has various causes. According to NHS UK, one cause is the facial nerve. As per the publication, the disorder results when the facial nerve is swollen or compressed that it could interfere with the brain signals that are sent to the facial muscles. In this regard, blood and oxygen supply to the nerve cells lead to facial weakness or paralysis. As per the publication, certain types of herpes virus may cause facial nerve inflammation. Other infections that are associated with bell's palsy include syphilis, cytomegalovirus, and the Epstein-Barr virus, which leads to glandular fever.
Bell's palsy presents many symptoms. According to Medical News Today, these include sudden paralysis or weakness of one side of the face, difficulty or impossibility closing one of the eyelids, eye irritation because of dryness or inability to blink, changes in the amount of tear production, facial drooping, drooling from one side of the mouth and change in the amount of saliva production, difficulty with facial expressions, sense of taste alteration, hearing sensitivity, pain in front or behind the ear of the affected side, and headache.
Treatment for bell's palsy involves medications like corticosteroids to control inflammation;l however, remedies can also be done at home to manage the condition.
One remedy for bell's palsy is olive oil. According to Find Home Remedy, massaging the face regularly with olive oil prevents further damage to the skin of the face. As per the publication, the person uses his fingers to massage the lower part of his face. Then, he grasps the corners of his lips with his thumb and index finger and pushes the center of his lips forward to form a pucker. The movement is done for fifteen times. Then, the fingers are moved to the upper part of the face and the forehead is massaged and the area around the eyebrows. The cheeks are massaged with the fingertips in a circular motion, but with pressure to limit nerve damage affectation. Every part of the face is massaged for 20 minutes to promote blood circulation, which stimulates the damaged nerve and combats the paralysis.
In bell's palsy, it is vital to protect the eye that cannot be closed. According to Mayo Clinic, the person can use lubricating eyedrops during the day, plus an eye ointment at night; this is to keep the eye moist. Also, the person can wear glasses or goggles during the day and then an eye patch at night to protect the eye from being scratched or poked. This way, the risk of injury will be minimized..
Another remedy for bell's palsy is vitamin B, specifically niacin. According to Health Wyze, the vitamin helps promote circulation in the outer issues of the face; thus, recovery will be faster. Vitamin B is known to be helpful in the central nervous system, particularly niacin. It also helps boost the brain's function like cognition, memory, and problem solving. Food choices that are rich in vitamin B include meat and green leafy vegetables.
To better treat Bell's Palsy, it is important to coordinate medical consult with a physician for proper assessment, planning, intervention, health education, and evaluation.

Why Nirvanna the Band the Show is the Most Criminally Overlooked Show on TV
Charlie Lyne tries to put into the words the brilliance of Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol's highly underrated creative non-fiction series.

film commentary
Jay McCarrol
Nirvanna the Band the Show
In those rare moments when our cultural gatekeepers aren't extolling the "golden age of television," they're instead heralding the rise of "creative nonfiction," a catchall term used to encompass any documentary with an ounce more artistic nous than Blackfish. So how to explain the marked disinterest earlier this year that met a radical, lyrical and plain hysterical show that encapsulates both phenomena? How to explain the misfortune of Nirvanna the Band the Show?
In fairness, the show is saddled with such a clunky title you'd be forgiven for assuming it was chosen to be intentionally alienating — the real-world equivalent of Jeremy from Peep Show naming his band Various Artists "to fuck over people with iPods." To clarify, Nirvanna the Band the Show is a show about a fictional band called Nirvanna the Band, bearing no relation to the '90s grunge act of (almost) the same name. The extra "n" helps to dispel that notion (it was not in the title of the 2007 web series Nirvana the Band the Show, on which the Viceland show is based), but it's not clear whether the name change is the result of legal caution exercised in-universe or out.
In all likelihood, the answer's both, given how little divides the action that takes place on screen in Nirvanna the Band the Show from the maneuvering that goes on behind the scenes. The show's creators, Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol, play band members Matt and Jay, though the extent to which they're "playing" them at all varies from scene to scene. Often, Nirvanna functions as a straightforward mockumentary, in which a camera crew tags along with the pair as they chart their unlikely course to stardom. At other times, this artifice falls away and we're presented with an unfiltered view of Johnson and McCarrol's creative process as they shape the show we're watching. Every so often, things go entirely the other way, and we're thrust into a diegetically sealed universe, in which the camera (as well as cinematographers Jared Raab and Andrew Appelle) have no agency whatsoever.
Stardom for Nirvanna the Band means a show at the Rivoli, an unremarkable Toronto music venue opposite a branch of Kiehl's on the city's busy Queen Street. Most episodes see Matt and Jay embark upon a new quest to secure a booking at the venue (the first six episodes are all subtitled "Matt and Jay try to get a show at the Rivoli…"), but in practice this not-so-lofty goal is merely the catalyst for a series of frenzied schemes. Like Pinky and the Brain, the pair endeavor time and time again to take over the world, only to wind up accidentally setting Kiehl's on fire, or temporarily going blind.
These events play out before a public audience — real people whose real reactions inform the tone and narrative flow of each episode. This quasi-documentary approach is in keeping with the other works by Zapruder Films, the collective behind Nirvanna the Band the Show (and Nirvana the Band the Show), as well as Johnson's remarkable features The Dirties and Operation Avalanche. All four employ real-world environments as a backdrop for scripted scenes, blending the dramatic propulsion of narrative drama with the verisimilitude (and volatility) of documentary.
What separates this approach from Jackass, or Da Ali G Show, is the parallel Nirvanna the Band the Show draws between the dramatic stakes of its fictional story, and the logistical stakes of its production. In the episode "The Booking," Matt breaks into the offices of Toronto weekly NOW Magazine posing as a phone company technician, as part of a ploy to convince the Rivoli that he and Jay are due to perform there later that week. As the stunt plays out, we're invited to view the action both from the perspective of Matt the character, with his desire to secure the booking of his dreams, and that of Matt the filmmaker, with his desire to go undetected just long enough to get the scene in the can. Both make for riveting dramas, though they exist in mutually exclusive realities.
If explaining this dynamic is a challenge, then putting the show's sensibility into words is next to impossible. Loosely speaking, Nirvanna the Band the Show is a pop culture parody which riffs on a vast array of TV shows, movies and other media ephemera. Each episode opens with a meticulous recreation of a well-known title sequence, be it Dog Day Afternoon or Netflix's Daredevil, which sets the tone for what's to follow, but by no means defines the episode's limits. "The Bean" starts with a pitch-perfect Home Alone tribute, but it's not a home invasion narrative, and alongside the Culkin references are nods to Indiana Jones, Tim Burton's Batman and The Tonight Show.
This pop cultural polyphony is a central theme of the show — and the key to understanding Matt and Jay, who stockpile VHS tapes not for their nostalgic value, but because you sense they'd have no means of communication without the lingua francas of The Negotiator, Lost, and GoldenEye for the N64. These shared reference points regularly find their way into the audiovisual language of the show itself — hardly a new idea in TV comedy — but while Nirvanna the Band the Show must be the zillionth work to spoof The Usual Suspects, it might just be the first to drop in actual footage from the Bryan Singer movie halfway through its homage.
Such provocations are made possible with Fair Use, a set of legal provisions allowing for the free and unauthorized use of copyrighted material in certain circumstances. Under the stewardship of pioneering Fair Use law firm Donaldson + Callif, Nirvanna the Band the Show pushes this doctrine into strange and daring new territory, never settling for a safe sample when an audacious one would do. In "The Blindside," the show even takes on that most fearsome of intellectual property giants, Disney, as Matt and Jay attend the Toronto premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, camera crew in tow.
Nirvanna's flirtations with fiction are all the more potent for sitting within the body of a show built on improvisation. That large swathes of each episode appear ad-libbed is hardly surprising given the setup, but what is remarkable is the extent to which Johnson and McCarrol open the show up to outside influence. Elsewhere in "The Blindside," a dismissive comment from a passing cyclist sends Jay into a debilitating, episode-long crisis of confidence. This fleeting interaction with a member of the public not only shapes the larger story, it also reappears later on as a slow-motion, black-and-white flashback, echoing through Jay's scarred psyche. Form following function following fluke.
At least once every episode, these varied impulses — the pop-culture collage, the improvisatory abandon, the labyrinthine narrative engineering — combine to create a moment of perfect artistic synergy. I've struggled to convey the power of these moments in my attempts to evangelize about the show, as has Viceland, whose website inadequately describes Nirvanna the Band the Show as the story of "two lifelong best friends … planning the greatest musical act in the history of the modern world," which is the show's plot in the same way that Psycho is about a woman nicking forty grand from her boss.
For my money, the greatest of all these moments comes at the end of "The Buffet," a bottle episode in which Jay takes Matt to a Chinese restaurant in order to break the news that he's leaving the band. It's a surprisingly sensitive half-hour — a delicate portrait of a friendship on the verge of collapse, topped off with a narrative reveal I never would've imagined possible in a show that, for all its daring, is still basically Punk'd with a three-act structure.
It's no surprise that this moment comes in the season's penultimate episode. Only once viewers have synchronized with the sensibility of Nirvanna the Band the Show can it push the limits of its form to such extremes.

With its trademark snow, piney forests, sleigh rides and woodsmoke curling out of village chimneys, New England was practically invented for the Christmas postcard. It's got your Christmas goose and the maple syrup with which to glaze it. It's most of the reason author Ellen Stimson made Vermont her home. Here she shares recipes that have been in her family for generations, mixes up a cocktail or two, and invites readers to make their own traditions.


Looking ahead to world events expected this year, there looks to be few bright spots in an otherwise gloomy calendar fraught with political turmoil and conflict.
Without a doubt one of the most significant and earliest changes to 2017's global political landscape, Donald Trump will officially take up the role of the 45th US president after his inauguration on 20 January. How he is likely to perform over the coming 12 months and beyond which will pre-occupy observers from around the world.
For US citizens, the burning question will be how much of the extreme rhetoric utilised in Mr Trump's campaign will be put into practice during his tenure. His promise to replace long-fought health initiative the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, with "something terrific" could instill fear into the hearts of Americans for whom the basic level policy was literally a lifeline. For global observers, Mr Trump's decisions on everything from foreign policy to climate change will have a worldwide impact.
The impending German and French elections will serve as a barometer for the political feeling in Europe, where a growing tide of right-wing sentiment has been building in recent months.
From the Brexit vote to Mr Trump's surprise victory to the closure of Hungary's only neutral broadsheet newspaper, 2016 was not a good year for liberal values, sparking fears that other European nations could see far right-wing governments elected – something which has so far happened in no European country since the second world war.
In November, Marine LePen, leader of the French far-right Front National party, had a lead over Les Républicains' former president and leader Nicolas Sarkozy in a presidential poll, in a sign that France could vote in a right-wing candidate when the country holds elections in the spring.
Meanwhile in Germany, the way the fallout from the refugee crisis continues to play out in the country is likely to have an effect on whether "Mutti Merkel"'s plummeting approval ratings will prevent her from winning a fourth term in office when the Germans go to the polls later this year.
The Berlin Christmas market terrorist attack, which killed 12 people and left dozens more injured, will raise further questions as to how Angela Merkel's government is dealing with the terrorist threat.
Yet there were glimmers in 2016 that the liberal left in Europe is not completely dead – such as when fears that the Austrian presidential election would see Norbert Hofer of the far-right Freedom party put in power. Despite a strong performance by Mr Hofer in the first round, Austrians ultimately opted for independent, Green-backed candidate, Alexander Van der Bellen.
The Austrian result demonstrates that all is not doom and gloom in terms of right-wing movement, although Mr Trump's victory may suggest otherwise. Watch this space.
On a more positive note, Sweden is this year set to lead the way by presenting a new national strategy to prevent and combat violence against women – a precursor to its national gender equality agency, which will be created this year before formally launching in 2018.
However, what will interest much of Europe during 2017 is the impact of how Britain's Brexit deal plays out once Prime Minister Theresa May triggers Article 50 by the end of March – whether a hard Brexit or a soft Brexit, a Norwegian or a Canada Brexit. Although many countries are taking an openly laissez faire attitude to the UK's decision, there is no doubt that the effects of Britain leaving the European Union will have consequences for the entire continent.
Hopes that the conflict in Syria – or indeed, the entire refugee crisis – could come to an end are currently a pipe dream as troops controlled by president Bashar al-Assad hammered the city of Aleppo at the end of last year.
The West's response to the crisis has come under scrutiny from protesters, while Russia is also under fire for its lack of humanitarian compassion during its military support for Mr Assad's forces.
Refugees left homeless by the devastation taking place in Syria – as Mr Assad, backed by Russian president Vladimir Putin, bombed rebel strongholds, demolishing entire communities – will undoubtedly continue to flow west, putting even greater pressure on resources and political will in Europe.
Meanwhile, an entire generation of Syrian children, who have struggled to get an education for almost six years since the conflict began, remain in limbo as their lives are once more put on hold.
What Mr Putin will do closer to home is also a concern, with the war in eastern Ukraine continuing to rumble on.
Moldova – which is home to the self-declared Soviet Republic of Transnistria – recently elected a pro-Russian president, Igor Dodon, moving away from its previously closer relations with the West, while in Bulgaria, Rumen Radev, also pro-Russian, won the presidential race by a comfortable margin, issuing another blow to the European Union.
The assassination of Turkish ambassador Andrei Karlov in Anakara in December may also deepen tensions between Russia and other nations, with Mr Putin's relations with Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan already under pressure.
In Iran, presidential elections, due to be held on 19 May, promise further upheaval as relatively moderate incumbent Hassan Rouhani looks to face tough opposition.
Meanwhile, conflicts in both Yemen and Nigeria have left millions of people hit by famine, a crisis which looks likely to escalate in the coming months.
With no end in sight to the conflict between the government and terrorist group Boko Haram, 75,000 children in Nigeria alone are at risk of death in the first half of this year, the United Nations has warned.
Meanwhile, in Yemen, 80 per cent of the population are in need of aid after a war between forces loyal to the internationally-recognised government of president Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi and those allied to the Houthi rebel movement has triggered a humanitarian crisis.
But while famine continues in certain areas, charity Action Against Hunger says the bright spot is that the battle to end child deaths due to hunger across the globe is slowly being won. Despite some terrible crises worldwide, progress overall is being made in battle to eradicate deaths due to the most severe form of malnutrition.
Leah Oatway, senior communications officer at Action Against Hunger UK, said that since 2000, the number of people hit by hunger has fallen by nearly 210 million.
Looking further east, there are more fractures as Taiwan's first female president, Tsai Ing-Wen, has promised a future of "reform and renewal" for 2017, which will see the nation – regarded by China as a breakaway province – look to reshape its economy more independently from China, concentrating on economies in south-east Asia.
However, she has also already forged ties with Mr Trump, in a personal phone call with him which some commentators took as a slap in the face for Beijing. It will be interesting to see whether the decision to connect the call – which Mr Trump later insisted in a tweet was instigated by Ms Ing-Wen rather than himself – was a diplomatic faux pas on the part of a president-to-be with little previous experience in foreign affairs, or an indication of new support for Taiwan from a country which withdrew its embassy from the country four decades ago.
Things got worse from then on, with a clash last month over a US drone in the South China Sea and culminating in an editorial in the Communist party-controlled China's Global Times newspaper which claimed that the president-elect "bears no sense of how to lead a superpower".
However, planting seeds of hope – as well as real saplings – for the future, a number of countries will continue major tree planting schemes this year in an effort to tackle climate change. India has pledged to spend the equivalent of $6 billion to reforest 12 per cent of its land, while African nations are involved in a joint programme to restore 100 million hectares of land.
It is impossible to predict exactly what 2017 will bring – we can only hope that it is calmer than its predecessor.

Rabat – Following their unexpected arrival in Casablanca on Monday, April 16, the five FIFA Task Force members have, reportedly, added Tetouan to their itinerary.
When the task force shifted their arrival airport from Marrakech to Casablanca at the last minute, a source that facilitates planning for the task force told Medias 24 that the sudden change was tied to the delegation's desire to assess the air connections at Morocco's leading airport.
The five FIFA representatives reportedly landed in Casablanca at 8 p.m., before boarding a connecting flight to Marrakech. After "arriving at the Menara airport around 10 pm on a Ram flight, they carefully inspected the terminal for nearly an hour," according to the same source.
On Tuesday, April 17, the task force members inspected the ochre city infrastructure, including the Grand Stadium and the Former Harti Stadium, which will serve as training camps for the teams.
The visit continued in Agadir on April 17-18, after the task force drove south to assess the quality of the country's motorway network, which provided no "problem, as the recently built highway is well equipped with rest areas," declared the source.
The delegation will reportedly visit Tetouan during the two days planned in Tangier, a decision previously undisclosed in their program. Once again, the source revealed that the five members will evaluate the progress made in the construction of the football stadium, as well as that of Tetouan's reception facilities.
"The choice to add Tetouan to their inspection itinerary isn't innocent and neither is their trip by car, since it will allow them to assess the quality of the national road that connects the two northern cities," the source shared.
The task force will end their visit at the Mohammed V Airport, before returning to Switzerland to submit their technical conclusions that will influence the fate of the Moroccan bid.

claiming the visual narrative: the role of arts and aesthtics in abolishing the war on drugs
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11 @ 6PM
CLAIMING THE VISUAL NARRATIVE
Claiming the Visual Narrative in Newark, NJ is a community arts project created by The Confined Arts (TCA) with the goal of developing representative imagery in Newark, a community that continues to be vulnerable to racially unjust narratives of the war on drugs.
TCA aims to form a Newark-based grassroots Community Convening Cohort (CCC) consisting of Newark community stakeholders that will conceptualize and install a community-developed art project that represents the values and principles of Newark residents. Our methodology:
The CCC will also conduct participatory action research and participate in focus groups to better understand artistic needs for expression and representation within the Newark community and neighborhoods therein.
Overall goals for this project are: (1) to establish a process for creating and installing public art projects and will increase opportunities for community healing and relationship-building, (2) to form a cohort of community stakeholders who are committed to facilitating public arts projects that prioritizes community partnership, and (3) to develop a methodology and toolkit with recommendations for how to build community engagement through public art projects. Learn More Here
The Confined Arts has partnered with Yendor Productions, a Newark based organization that fosters hope and healing through access to the arts and cross-cultural programming, to host a community meeting where grass-roots Organizations, Artists, Activist, and other community stakeholders can discuss the role that public art and aesthetics can play in ending to the war on drugs and systemic racism in Newark.
The Claiming the Visual Narrative Project will be responding to the Salvation and Social Justice Coalition call to action, as we explore the role that public arts and aesthetics can play in abolishing the war on drugs in New Jersey, and specifically the Newark's West Ward.
The Confined Arts will also be discussing media production opportunities that are available Spring 2021 for ARTISTS IN NEWARK through our partnership with the Newark Community Solution Center

Q: Inject property and values to ApplicationResources.properties at runtime in Struts We have a requirement where we have to internationalize the struts application based on the logged in user. Now the catch is, though the user may be from a different country with its own language, but still the user may use English as his preferred language which we will take from database.
But each county has its own date formats (eg US MM/dd/YYYY or say countries in Asia as dd/MM/yyyy), zip or pin code, phone formats. The user cannot choose these, but are default as per the country.
We are planning to implement struts Internationalization concepts and add org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE as _en or _CN or anything as per his language preference when he logs in. But how can we inject the different formats into the loaded applicationResources.
We can keep different ApplicationResources.properties for different combinations of language and formats but that would be a bad design.
We need application resources because all these will be used in the view jsps and its easier to access from there instead of always setting the in Action forms.
Has anyone solved this problem before please let us know. Thanks!!

NEW YORK — A defiant Manhattan federal prosecutor, in announcing his firing after he refused to resign, says "absolute independence" was his touchstone for over seven years as he battled public corruption.
The person who requested anonymity because of the talks' private nature said the secretary late Thursday left a voicemail asking Bharara to call back. Bharara reported the call to Attorney General Jeff Sessions' chief of staff, Joseph "Jody" Hunt, who agreed it was best that Bharara not speak directly with Trump, the person said. Bharara then called the White House, telling the secretary he had spoken to the Justice Department and it was agreed he and Trump should not speak.
Bharara was informed he was fired by Dana Boente, the acting deputy attorney general, shortly after it became widely known Saturday that he did not intend to step down in response to Sessions' request that leftover appointees of former President Barack Obama quit.
"I did not resign. Moments ago I was fired," Bharara said in a tweet.
New York Sen. Charles Schumer, a Democrat, said in a statement Friday that he was "troubled to learn" of the resignation demands, particularly of Bharara, since Trump called him in November and assured him he wanted Bharara to remain in place.
Bharara met Trump Nov. 30, saying afterward he'd been asked to remain in the job. Bharara, once lauded on the cover of Time magazine as the man who is "busting Wall Street" after successfully prosecuting dozens of insider traders, has in recent years gone after over a dozen state officeholders, — including New York's two most powerful lawmakers.
The request for resignations came after Trump last weekend claimed Obama tapped his telephones during last year's election. FBI Director James Comey privately asked the Justice Department to dispute the claim because he believed the allegations were false. Bharara worked for Comey when he was U.S. attorney in Manhattan under President George W. Bush.
Associated Press writers Sadie Gurman and Julie Pace in Washington and Jennifer Peltz in New York contributed to this report.


around my neck of the woods, how about you?
inspiration came from Kate and the fabulous job she did here.
I taped off the glass doors and painted over the brass with three coats.
For the handles, I didn't use this paint I spray painted them with a satin black.
do when the fireplace is lit.
What do you think? Besides the fact that I cleaned the dirty glass doors, ugh!
I'm looking for a creamy white color, any suggestions?
love it! it constantly amazes me what a little paint does.
Such a small thing can make such a big difference, Great job it looks so good.Thanks for sharing.
I did this with my fireplace doors a few years ago and we did my daughter's last summer. Such a quick fix but with huge impact. No idea on a paint color for your mantel. I know you'll pick out something wonderful!

Purpose of this study is to find a correlations between the two variables, which are family support and anxiety which pregnant women. Family support is an interpersonal transaction by giving help to another person that still have a family and marriage relationship. Anxiety is a manifestation from different emotion which is aroused when a person is depressed, caused by certain trubles concerning him. Family support for pregnant women can decreased anxiety level when they get through the pregnancy period. Questionnaires is used in this research in which distributed to 100 subjects from 2 hospital in Jakarta. The obtained data were processed by Pearson Correlations. Result of this study show that there is a significant negative correlation between family support and anxiety for pregnant women r (100) = -0,470, p < 0,01.

Het Turks voetbalelftal onder 21, of kortweg Jong Turkije, is een voetbalelftal voor spelers onder de 21 jaar. Spelers die ouder zijn mogen echter wel meedoen als zij maximaal 21 jaar zijn op het moment dat de kwalificatie voor een toernooi begint. Zo kunnen er dus spelers van 23 jaar aan een toernooi meedoen.
Het elftal probeert zich te plaatsen voor het tweejaarlijkse EK onder 21. In dit toernooi kan het elftal in de toernooien die in jaren die deelbaar zijn door vier, zich plaatsen voor de Olympische Spelen van datzelfde jaar.

Candidate Questionnaire: Adelita Cruz
By WGLT Staff • Sep 22, 2020
These responses were submitted by Adelita Cruz, the Republican candidate for McLean County Board in District 4. See more candidate responses.
Why do you want to represent your district on the McLean County Board?
Adelita Cruz
I want to represent District 4 because I believe I have an obligation to share my time and talent with others to help make our community better. You cannot expect to live in a great community if you are not willing to put in the work. The skills I have developed in my professional and personal life align well with the financial oversight responsibilities of the county board. I work for a Fortune 50 company as a contact center manager. I have experience with leadership, staffing, budgeting, and short- and long-term strategy. I also hold an MBA in Leadership and Organizational Health. I will use these skills to ensure the county departments have the necessary funding to run programs that are important to our citizens.
What are your expectations for the McLean County Health Department in 2021 as they relate to the pandemic? What would you do as a County Board to help the department meet those expectations?
It is important to note that the county board as no operational control over the health department. The Board of Health has full operational control. My responsibility as a board member is to provide financial oversight for their budget.
Aside from the pandemic, what are the most pressing public health concerns in McLean County, and what would you do as a County Board member to help address them?
In 2019, the health department conducted a McLean County Community Health Needs Assessment. This assessment identified three health priorities: access to care, behavioral health (mental and substance use), and healthy eating/active living (HEAL). As the county board has no operational control over the health department, I would offer support towards these goals by ensuring they have access to adequate funding.
For years, the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council has addressed jail overcrowding and mental health. What additional issues would you like to see the CJCC focus on next?
The county board does not have operational control over the CJCC. It is my responsibility to ensure they have the necessary funding to effectively run their programs. I will continue to support the CJCC's goal of collaborative justice and lowering incarnations. The Veteran's court, rehabilitation services, and utilization of restorative justice are some of the ways the CJCC is achieving their goal. I would be proud to continue to assist with these initiatives by providing them funding.
Do you think the county should continue to operate its own nursing home? Why or why not?
The county board has addressed the revenue deficits of the nursing home by creating a blue-ribbon panel to identify opportunities for improvement. The recommendations from this panel have allowed the nursing home to make progress towards increasing their revenue by reducing the use of temporary staff and becoming a part of the OSF network, which increases referrals. A new administrator was also hired this year to support these changes.
Before making recommendations to continue to operate or close the nursing home, I would need to consider the short- and long-term ramifications of this decision. The pandemic has caused citizens to keep their loved one's home rather than seeking care in the nursing home. I need to obtain a better understanding of how the pandemic will affect initiatives that have been implemented. I would also need to consider how the citizens, who rely on the nursing home for care, will obtain assistance. One of the goals of the health department is to provide access to care. Will a decision to close the nursing home run counter to the goals of the health department? It is critical to take all these items into consideration before making a recommendation.
How would you evaluate whether to support offering economic incentives, such as tax breaks, to businesses to get them to expand or locate in McLean County?
The county board has never actually provided tax breaks to businesses. Instead, the board utilizes benchmarks to determine if they will allow the business to keep the county portion of a property tax bill, (which is approximately 10-11%). When making this decision, the board takes into consideration how many jobs will be created and revenue they will bring into the county through increased spending at local businesses. I would continue to support this practice because in most instances, job creation generates an increase in revenue for the county offsetting any portion of the tax bill the business retains.
What would be your priorities if asked to consider controversial land-use questions, such as those surrounding wind turbines, solar farms, etc.?
I understand the concerns on the impacts to property values for those who live close to wind turbines and solar farms as well as their effect on wildlife. I also understand the need to increase the use of renewable energy. My priority would be to enhance my knowledge and understanding of the concerns and by seeking recommendations from subject matter experts on both sides of the issue. I also want to hear from our citizens, as my responsibility on the board is to represent the interests of my constituents.
The County Board is unusual among local governments in that it's partisan, with political parties attached to members' names. Why are you a Republican, a Democrat, or a Libertarian?
My decision to become a registered republican, is based on my personal experiences. I am a proponent of financial independence from, rather than dependence on government aid. I also believe in independent thinking and choice and have never felt pressured by the republican party to vote a certain way or only have one way of thinking.
I do not believe that we need to divide ourselves so harshly into different parties. It is more important to elect someone who wants to be involved in the county board because they have a desire to make a difference and create a strong community for everyone.
WGLT depends on financial support from users to bring you stories and interviews like this one. As someone who values experienced, knowledgeable, and award-winning journalists covering meaningful stories in central Illinois, please consider making a contribution.

My dad gave me a hard time for not having any edibles on the vertical garden that I had just installed in my bedroom. Naturally, I asked him if he would be down for building one with me in the kitchen.
Much to my surprise, he was up for the task, so we embarked on designing a Mason jar herb and plant garden. Since installation, it's worked very well, and I'm happy to report that all plants are alive, thriving and well. The key with Mason jars (since they don't have natural drainage) is to include stones and charcoal on the bottom to help create "drainage" on the inside of the jar.
Place the wooden board on the wall so you can get a sense of where you would like to position it. Note: If you're growing herbs, you'll want to keep the herb garden in close proximity to a window, because plants like rosemary and sage like a lot of light. If you place the boards in indirect light, you probably should grow other species of plants — like ferns and ponytail palms, for example.
Use Tapcon screws to secure boards. This is the secondary step to secure the boards. Depending on wall surface, you may be able to use different screws. I installed mine on an old brick wall, so we found the Tapcon screws worked the best.
Voila! Your Mason jar garden is complete. In order to see my own wall come together, you can watch the video here or below, and stay tuned here for a few more weeks of plantspirations for your life and home.

We love Jamis, a family-owned company that's been around for over thirty years. Founded in Florida in 1979, Ron Jamis first built beach cruisers, then mountain bikes, then road bikes. In 1981, Carine Joannou took over G. Joannou Cycles, a bicycle import and distribution company. The paths crossed in 1990 when G. Joannou Cycles purchased Jamis and relocated the headquarters to New Jersey.
Jamis does not strive to be the biggest bike company. Instead, Jamis aspires to make really great bikes for all types of folks – bikes for elite riders and racers, bikes for people just looking to exercise their bodies a little bit. You might not have heard of Jamis, but the bikes are great. Some of our favorites include:
The Coda Sport: A sporty steel frame and fork combined with a flat handlebar, 700c wheels and a crisp Shimano drivetrain make this our best selling bike. It's very affordable, fun to ride and great for all kinds of things: commuting, fitness and, most importantly, fun.
Dragons: Wether you select the Dragon Sport or Dragon Race, 29″ wheels or 650B, the Dragon will not disappoint. Classic steel looks, impeccable handling and great value combine to make this bike one of our most highly-praised offerings. Willing to try something other than aluminum or carbon? Try a Dragon.
Xenith series: There are two types of Pedal employees: those that own a Xenith and those that are on their way to owning one. Jordan and Brittany have Xenith Comps. Ryan has a Race. Tim has an Elite. Without fail, one of these folks will come into work from time to time and say, "I love this bike." Monocoque construction, stage race geometry, great handling, stiff in the drivetrain, but plush on the crappy Michigan roads.
The number one bike brand in Europe is the same Scott that started building aluminum ski poles in Ketchum, Idaho in the late fifties and that produced Greg LeMond's aero bar for the 1989 Tour de France. Much has happened since then, and the company is now Swiss with a European flair and a dedication to innovation — from the IMP carbon process to the Twinloc lever to the F01 aerodynamic exercise that yielded the Foil. Scott pushes the boundaries of what a bicycle can be. We love:
The Scale The 2012 and 2013 world championship-winning Scale now features both 29″ and 27.5″ wheels with either a carbon or an aluminum frame. Going racing? Grab a Scale.
The Addict After a brief hiatus the Addict is back for 2014. Oh so light. Oh so beautiful.
The Foil represents the perfect balance of light weight, aerodynamic and stiffness, resulting in the most advanced racing bike available.
The Solace: Designed to be comfortable without sacrificing stiffness, Scott engineers designed the bike around two "zones" to independently handle those characteristics. With the Comfort Zone and the Power Zone the Solace blends a luxurious ride with high performance. Bring on the chip seal.
Handmade just outside of Montreal, Guru combines technical excellence with old world craftsmanship. For many years, Guru built only bespoke bikes – bikes built with a specific individual in mind. Guru has recently started building bikes to stock sizes, which makes the bikes more affordable for the vast majority of us who don't necessarily have to have a custom frame. Triathlon, road or cyclocross, understated or flashy, Guru can build you a bike that fits perfectly and looks exactly as you wish. Tri bikes are carbon. Road bikes are steel, titanium or carbon. Cyclocross bikes are steel or titanium.

Kona was founded in 1988 in Ferndale, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia. Named after the founders' love of Kailua-Kona in Hawaii, Kona has forged a sterling reputation, particularly in mountain and cyclocross bikes. Kona still has the same owners and continues to make bikes for people who love 'em.
Jake the Snake continues to represent a fantastic race-ready cyclocross value, now in green and with disk brakes. Jake the Snake has it all: Good looks. Predictable handling. Sweet components. All with the reliable stopping power of disk brakes.
The Kahuna is a very solid 29er with a 10-speed drivetrain, solid aluminum frame and saucy components. The Kahuna also displays why Kona continues to thrive in the mountain bike market against much larger competitors: predictable handling — not too quick, not sluggish. Right where you want it.
The Rove Lately people have been talking all this Gravel Road Bike or Gravel Grinder or Road Bikes that Take Big Tires. Meet the Rove. Steel. Comfortable. Fun. Move star. Few are the people who ride the Rove and are able to resist its charms.

Beyond Dork: Ridley Noah... Ridiculously aero?!?
Less than a month ago I was talking to someone about Ridley. I believe the quote was "it could be a slow year for Ridley next year, they don't have anything new coming out....". It looks like to be that Ridley just made one of the fastest aero road frames out there, even more aero and FASTER!

Der Druckversuch ist von der Kraftrichtung her gesehen die Umkehrung des Zugversuches und wird hauptsächlich eingesetzt zur Bestimmung der Fließkurven spröder Baustoffe und Metalle – beispielsweise von Gusseisen.

Weitere Anwendung von Druckversuchen ist die Messung der Brisanz von Sprengstoffen nach Heß/Kast mittels Stauchversuch.

Versuchsarten

Zylinderstauchversuch

Zur Prüfung metallischer Werkstoffe werden im Zylinderstauchversuch zylindrische Proben mit einem Verhältnis von Höhe (h0) und Durchmesser (d0) von 1 bis 2 verwendet:

.

Bei Lagermetallen wird ein Durchmesser von 20 mm verwendet, das Verhältnis muss 1 betragen:

Bei Stählen wird ein Durchmesser von 10 bis 30 mm verwendet, das Verhältnis muss 1,5 betragen:

Bei Baustoffen kommen würfelförmige Proben zum Einsatz.

Kraftversuch
Beim Kraftversuch werden die Proben (Querschnittsfläche ) mit stetig ansteigender Kraft zwischen zwei parallelen Druckplatten belastet. Die Belastung wird so lange erhöht, bis es
 bei spröden Werkstoffen zum Bruch kommt
 bei duktilen Werkstoffen zu einem Anriss auf der Oberfläche kommt
 wenn eine vereinbarte Gesamtstauchung  erreicht ist (s. u.).
Die dabei aufgebrachte Kraft  wird ermittelt und daraus die Druckfestigkeit in N/mm² bestimmt:

Ist bei einem verformbaren Werkstoff eine Stauchung von 50 % eingetreten

so wird der Versuch abgebrochen. Die Druckfestigkeit wird dann angegeben mit

Bei Baustoffen und Holz wird meistens  bestimmt.

Das Spannungs-Dehnungs-Diagramm des Druckversuchs von metallischen Werkstoffen zeigt am Übergang von vorwiegend elastischer Verformung zur überwiegend plastischen Verformung meist eine Unstetigkeit auf. Diese wird Quetschgrenze  genannt und entspricht der Streckgrenze im Zugversuch. Weist die Kurve diese Unstetigkeit nicht auf, so kann bei Bedarf die technische Stauchgrenze  bestimmt werden.

Die umgekehrte Kraftrichtung zum Zugversuch darf jedoch nicht über prinzipielle Unterschiede hinwegtäuschen. So behindert die zwischen der Probe und den Druckplatten auftretende Reibung die Verformung der Proben, es kommt somit zu einer tonnenförmigen Ausbauchung (engl.: barreling). Es liegt keine Gleichmaßstauchung und keine der Einschnürung im Zugversuch analoge Ausbauchung vor. Die Verformungsbehinderung setzt sich kegelförmig ins Probeninnere fort, weshalb nur ein Teil des Probenvolumens plastisch verformt wird (vgl. Abbildung).

Druckversuch nach Rastegajew
Der Druckversuch nach Rastegajew, manchmal auch englisch Rastegaev geschrieben, ist ein Verfahren der Werkstoffprüfung. Hierbei wird eine Stauchprobe an beiden Stirnflächen mit einer kleinen Topfbohrung versehen. Diese Bohrung wird mit einem Schmiermittel – beispielsweise ein Fett oder handelsübliche Vaseline – gefüllt. Wird die Probe im Versuch gestaucht, verringert das Schmiermittel die Reibung zwischen der Probe und den Kontaktflächen der Prüfmaschine, Stempel und Aufstandsfläche (im Bild die Druckplatten) auf ein Minimum. Da sich die Kontaktflächen der Probe fast ungehindert vergrößern können, wird ein "Ausbauchen" der Probe nahezu verhindert und es ist möglich, die wahre Druckspannung während des Versuchs zu messen.

American Shaman is the first and only brand that I have consistently used and I recommend it to anyone that had never tried it. I use the 300mg/30ml bottle of the water soluble. After playing with the dose a bit, I found that half a dropper twice daily is best for me. I have had so much relief from arthritis pain, anxiety, depression, ADHD, menopausal symptoms of all kinds. I truly believe that CBD is the missing link to homeostasis and I wish more folks would give it a try!
I worked at franchise here in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It was so great to get to help others learn the benefits of CBD. I all about healing! I was a nurse for 16 years and decided that traditional medicine was not the healing path I needed to be on.
I have been on all kinds of meds in the past for different things and can say I'm so much better since I stopped taking those meds and started using natural medicine!
American Shaman CBD is the real deal. You can't go wrong with it!
The staff are very knowledgeable and guide you to products that will be a benefit to you or even your pet. Wonderful and friendly!
+ PROS: Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They don't over sell but listen to your questions and help you decide what products would be best for you or even your pet. Wonderful people and pricing.
I purchased American Shaman water soluble during a gout flare-up and felt immediate relief. I use it every day and haven't had a flare up since. I was also able to get off my blood pressure meds, can focus at work and sleep better than I have since I was a child! I love and believe in this product so much, my husband and I now own a franchise in Flower Mound TX! I would not sell any product I don't believe in. Life changing!!
+ PROS: The sample of cream worked for shoulder pain.
- CONS: Taking under tongue, on day 3, just upped my dosage still no relief for anxiety. Bottle leaks around the rubber edge. Taste extremely bad. Told the Gladstone rep I was on an extremely tight budget, wish he would've told me about the online coupon.
Tried the full spectrum ""nano"" tincture. No effect. Tastes horrible. Particularly the aftertaste. Also more expensive than competitive products. Assuming it works for you.. good luck!
- CONS: Tastes horrible. Expensive.
I recently purchased my first CBD oil from a local CBD American Shaman store. The young man there was very friendly and helpful. I think the company and products are good quality, and I'm noticing some slight differences in pain already, but it's just really expensive, in comparison to other options available. I spent $65 there for a 300/30 vial, and that's just too much.
I have used water soluble 300 for anxiety and it works with half a dropper. To much makes me sleepy.
Cloud tincture 300 takes away tooth pain in minutes. Works.
Anti-inflannatory 500 works on my knee with fluid build up.
+ PROS: Easy to use. Cream lasts.
I've used many traditional CBD oils from many different companies over 2 years; it's part of the learning curve. I was skeptical about the nano-processing, just because it was unknown to me, but took the leap and tried it.
The faster onset of relief was noticeable to me in the first few doses. I returned quickly for the 30ml bottle of H2o soluble Natural 300mg. The next products I purchased were body lotion for skin care and Topical Serum for pain management. I'm very happy with both products, a little goes a very long way!
As a trained and certified medical cannabis dispensary agent and average person with chronic pain, inflammation, and IBS, I was impressed immediately by being able to review third-party lab reports of American Shaman products. I believe in the healing power of CBD and love CBD American Shaman's product so much that I'm now staff at the store in my community????
+ PROS: Easy to understand dosing of tinctures. Rapid relief due to nano-processing. Controlled pain and inflammation WITHOUT synthetic pharma is really working well for me. Love, love, love hemp-based wellness????
- CONS: Affordable tinctures; topicals for pain are a bit more expensive. I hope to see a more affordable, sample size of the Anti-Inflammatory/Equine Ointment made available.
I use their topical ointment, and it's really amazing. The pain (I have fibro and also repetitive strain in my hands) disappears within less than a minute. I was shocked. I've never tried anything that works so well. I didn't try their water-soluble because I had a long-term supply of my go-to brand, but this has worked so well that I'm definitely going to give it a try next time I need to supply.
I decided to give the water soluble formula a chance for pain management. It seems to be doing a good job on inflammation issues and subsequent pain levels. A surprising side-benefit is markedly decreased anxiety levels. For that alone I am a big fan. Interestingly enough, I've also lost a few pounds just in the 5 days I've been using it. Awesome!
I love these products! I was finally curious about what the fuss is all about with CBD oil. I have suffered from severe anxiety and depression for years now. I had a knee replacement surgery 4 years ago and the after math pain post surgery has been horrible. Many days the chronic pain shooting up my leg would cause me to be bed ridden. While visiting my parents I stopped into the Broken Arrow location to get some information and I instantly just fell in love with one of the owners Molly. Her knowledge was so fantastic, she was able to answer every question I had in a way that I actually understood, she wasn't ever "salesman pushy" you could see it on her face that she truly cared so much, and her passion for the products and the franchise was just incredible. I took her advice and started taking the Water Soluble twice a day and for my inflammation on my knee I use their topical ointment. I can proudly say this is the best I have felt in years. I have now recommended it to my entire family, my friends, even my dogs use their pet line. I'm very happy I decided to let my curiosity take me for a stroll into her shop that day because that was the first day of the best days of my life. Thank you Molly and the Broken Arrow group.
I've had a problem with a little toe for years after having a bug bite. I've used recommended Vick's, oregano and nothing has helped like CBD topical. It is taking time and diligent use, but the toe is consistently improving . One of my clients had spider bites and the CBD topical cleared it up in few days. Love all the products and consume them daily.
Review……..I cannot say enough good things about American Shaman customer service. First it's super easy to get a person on the phone and they have handled an incorrect product I recieved super fast! Within 5 minutes of said call a new one was shipped and I was told to keep wrong item to try!
+ PROS: Customer support and taste!
- CONS: Price....even with discount pretty costly.
I just purchased your water soluble oil..I mainly went there to see about relief for my husband who has bad essential tremors. The gentleman who helped me talked about depression that I take meds for.
I ended up with 2 bottles and hope that we will get relief. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Rachel has been extremely kind and helpful with product information and instructions on using the water soluble drops along with the cloud vape. I have felt much relief from muscle pain and tension in my neck. The vape has helped relieve anxiety!!
This is my first company to try, so I can't make comparisons. But I have noticed a marked difference in both my pain and anxiety. My doctors office failed to get a refill in before this weekend, plus we had storms. But I was able to manage by upping my CBD and taking some sublingual in addition to vaping it.
It's not a miracle, I don't expect that. But it makes a noticeable difference.
I got turned onto American Shaman from my SIL – and there's a shop in my parents town – and have instantly fallen in love! I use it for anxiety, and haven't felt this good in a long time! I sleep better, and am just happier. I can't wait try their other products soon!
+ PROS: helps my anxiety so much!
- CONS: nothing bad at all!
I tried the product in January of this year. I now have a quality of life. Many focus on one ailment which prevents them from using the product longer. Also sometimes your pain if from something that needs medical treatment. "You have to remove the axe in your leg before CBD will help with the pain." Sometimes people don't drink enough water or adjust the dosage properly. I see complaints about the taste. It's not about the taste it's the benefits you get from the product. Journal for 30 days the dosages and how you feel all over not just the one ailment.
I've tried several of their products.
The Equine 500mg salve– love it. There have been days that I would've given up without this. It really helped with my arthritis and fibro pain. It never made me break out, was easy to apply where I needed it, sank into my skin quickly, and wasn't sticky or oily.
The 300mg Watersoluble Tincture didn't really do anything besides lift my mood a bit. I just don't think it was strong enough, and it tasted terrible.
The hand lotion left my skin soft for days, but it took a while to sink it. I really liked it for skin care, but obviously not for pain relief.
Lotion – AMAZING!! My Excema? GONE. & The face cream soothes the red in my cheeks.
I love the concentrate in the vape pens, the cookies are delicious. I seriously have both parents my grandma and my dog on this stuff it's so great.
+ PROS: Seriously can't say enough about these products!! Affordable quality products I can trust made in the USA and backed with a guarantee. How can you go wrong?
- CONS: Sublingually, the nano technology products are a bit potent! Dilute!
I purchased in a local store American Shaman CBD & Terpene Hemp Oil tincture, 300, 15 ml bottle. Used 20 mg daily till it ran out after a little over 2 weeks. First CBD I ever tried. I wanted it for pain relief. Sadly, didn't notice any difference at all. So trying another brand now.
I bought my first CBD from them and the equine ointment. Both really helped by fibro and arthritis.
- CONS: The flavored ones didn't taste very good. Their prices are higher than for what my son bought me that works just as well.
I purchased American Shaman water soluble, the hemp oil tincture, and the infused edibles while in Florida a couple weeks ago. I have many autoimmune diseases including fibromyalgia and interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome. Did not try immediately as I was scheduled for a surgical procedure and didn't want to introduce an unknown beforehand. The anesthesia they used this time left me with a wicked, unrelenting headache. It hurt to even have a pillow touch my head. My normal pain pills didn't relieve it, so I tried one dose of the water soluble and within 15 minutes my headache that I had had for over 30 hours was completely gone!!
Yesterday I was with my niece who suffers from debilitating migraines. Her son was in a school play, and she looked in serious pain. None of her medications was touching this migraine. I gave her one of the infused edibles, and she texted me and said her migraine was completely gone within 30 minutes! In addition to my auto immune diseases, I am allergic to a lot of medicines, most particularly anti-inflammatory. I'm excited and hopeful that this CBD oil will be the answer to my prayers! I would not have believed that such intense headaches could disappear so easily.
CBD American Shaman Hydrating Body Lotion.
According to the bottle 15mg CBD per once. I have a 8 once pump of this lotion and will just use it up on my back.I will also mix it with my everyday lotion.
I personally don't like the lotion , it says it's non greasy on the bottle. But the lotion is very greasy. I don't feel it's absorbing into my skin at all, it remains wet for a long time.I'm not sure if it helps the skin as I don't find myself using it much because of the cons.However with that being said the lotion doesn't have a strong smell. But I wouldn't recommend the lotion product at all.
I cannot speak high enough of American Shaman oil.
American Shaman's 300 mg CBD & Terpene Rich Hemp Oil Tincture in the midst of a severe Lupus flair. I took it twice a day and in three days the flair was gone. Before this CBD a flair could last months. After finishing the first bottle on a regular twice a day schedule which last about 3 weeks purchased another one. Then i began to take the oil only when a flair would start and in a day and half the flair is gone. For the last couple of years have used it for as need basic and i now go months without an initiating flair. My most recent testing for lupus indicators are the lowest i have received and if they go any lower will no longer be in the range for lupus. American Shaman also has a compassionate care discount of 30% for those with chronic illness. I am so very grateful for this company and this oil which is pure grace is in a bottle.
I made my first CBD oil purchase approx. a month ago. I purchased the American Shaman water soluble, full spectrum Natural (flavor) 300, a 30 ml bottle. So, there is 10 mg.hemp oil per1 ml. It comes in flavors, but, upon the free sampling at an American Shaman store, the flavors were stronger tadting. So, I prefer the "natural". I use 0.5 ml twice daily, under my tongue x 30 sec. then follow with water, tea, or, juice. I feel this brand is of highest quality & purity, or, I would not be using it. I experienced almost immediate results from the time I started using it! My headache was relieved, I feel less anxious & more relaxed, & in general, simply feel better! No more migraines since using, & only an occasional vague headache, no more Excedrin needed!
I truthfully wouldn't have believed the remarkable results if I haven't been experiencing them! I also purchased the Equine Ointment 500 (topical cream). Also contains DMSO. Pricey, however, a small amount covers 4 sq.inches of skin. I had a severe, crippling pain in my kneecap (probably arthritic) that nothing else has phased. The pain occurs every few months. I used the ointment/cream twice, & the knee pain (usually lasting a couple of weeks), never returned! This was unbelievable!
Is American Shaman CBD oil "a good one"? The results speak for themselves! I like their Gummy Bears ,too! They gave me free samples, & I took them in between my twice daily 0.5 ml of oil.
+ PROS: Bye bye migraines & tension headaches. Only a mild headache with weather pressure changes, no longer requiring Excedrin several times daily! Overall comfort from pesky aches & pain. Significant reduction of stress/anxiety/depression. Sleep improved.
- CONS: No cons experienced! ????
+ PROS: this helped my pain and anxiety.
- CONS: can't say anything bad..
I started using American Shaman water soluble CBD and equine ointment 1 week ago. As this is my first venture into CBD I cannot compare it to other brands. That said, so far I am receiving relief from my plantar fascitis. A little more each day and am hopeful to cut the flares of it, if not eliminate it. I am also noticing a marked reduction in my irritability and seem to be regaining my good humor at life. I am diabetic and this week my blood sugar levels have been much more stable and my BG readings are lower as well. It's only week one so we will see if there is continued improvements over time. I ordered on a Monday and received my order on Friday. Very pleased so far.
+ PROS: Easy to use product with clearly marked label and easy to read dropper. Good shipping, US company.
