As China's urbanization and economic growth continue, rising energy use in the building sector – which already accounts for over 20% of national energy use - poses significant challenges to national energy and carbon goals. While various policies have been introduced over the years to improve building efficiency, total final building energy use (space heating, cooling, lighting, domestic hot water, etc…) is still expected to more than double through 2050 and contribute to a larger share of national energy and emissions.
This study aims to quantify China's maximum technically feasible and cost-effective energy efficiency opportunity through 2050. We use a bottom-up model with building stock turnover to identify and evaluate the savings potential of a transformative yet cost-effective vision for Chinese residential and commercial buildings. This transformative pathway of development considers the individual and combined energy savings potential of high efficiency and passive buildings, integrated design, super-efficient appliances, smart controls, prefabricated buildings, and building-integrated renewables, microgrids and demand response. On the basis of a comprehensive baseline scenario, we developed a transformative scenario that encompasses the latest building technologies and best practice case studies of high performing buildings, and potential for adoption in China. The results show that the transformative and cost-effective pathway can significantly reduce China's baseline building energy consumption by nearly 50% by 2050 to levels comparable with current total building energy use. The largest savings potential lies in passive building measures on heating and cooling energy use and building equipment efficiency improvements. With renewable energy incorporated, a reasonable share of Net Zero Energy Buildings can also be achieved. The results also reveal that although the current policy focus is targeted mostly on new construction, existing building retrofits will become very important. The results of this study have significant policy implications such as the need for establishing a regular codes update roadmap, tighter building codes, and data transparency and disclosure for Chinese policymakers, and offers important insights and perspectives on China's rapidly evolving building sector.10abottom-up analysis10aBuilding envelope10aChina10aChina Energy10aChina Energy Group10acost-effective measures10aEnergy Analysis and Environmental Impacts Division10aenergy efficient technologies10aenergy saving potential10aEnergy System Planning & Grid Integration10aFuture Low-Emissions Pathways10aInternational Energy Department10apassive houses10aPathways10ascenarios1 aZhou, Nan1 aFeng, Wei1 aKhanna, Nina1 aHong, Lixuan1 aFridley, David1 aFranconi, Ellen, M. uhttp://proceedings.eceee.org/visabstrakt.php?event=5&doc=6-301-1504815nas a2200325 4500008003900000245005900039210005700098260005100155520384600206653001004052653001504062653001704077653002304094653000904117653001404126653001104140653005504151653003604206653001304242653001404255100001904269700001604288700001404304700001304318700002004331700002404351700002004375700001704395856007704412 2012 d00aChina Energy and Emissions Paths to 2030 (2nd Edition)0 aChina Energy and Emissions Paths to 2030 2nd Edition bLawrence Berkeley National Laboratoryc08/20123 a
After over two decades of staggering economic growth and soaring energy demand, China has started taking serious actions to reduce its economic energy and carbon intensity by setting short and medium-term intensity reduction targets, renewable generation targets and various supporting policies and programs. In better understanding how further policies and actions can be taken to shape China's future energy and emissions trajectory, it is important to first identify where the largest opportunities for efficiency gains and emission reduction lie from sectoral and end-use perspectives. Besides contextualizing China's progress towards reaching the highest possible efficiency levels through the adoption of the most advanced technologies from a bottom-up perspective, the actual economic costs and benefits of adopting efficiency measures are also assessed in this study.
This study presents two modeling methodologies that evaluate both the technical and economic potential of raising China's efficiency levels to the technical maximum across sectors and the subsequent carbon and energy emission implications through 2030. The technical savings potential by efficiency measure and remaining gap for improvements are identified by comparing a reference scenario in which China continues the current pace of with a Max Tech scenario in which the highest technically feasible efficiencies and advanced technologies are adopted irrespective of costs. In addition, from an economic perspective, a cost analysis of selected measures in the key industries of cement and iron and steel help quantify the actual costs and benefits of achieving the highest efficiency levels through the development of cost of conserved energy curves for the sectors.
The results of this study show that total annual energy savings potential of over one billion tonne of coal equivalent exists beyond the expected reference pathway under Max Tech pathway in 2030. CO2 emissions will also peak earlier under Max Tech, though the 2020s is a likely turning point for both emission trajectories. Both emission pathways must meet all announced and planned policies, targets and non-fossil generation targets, or an even wider efficiency gap will exist. The savings potential under Max Tech varies by sector, but the industrial sector appears to hold the largest energy savings and emission reduction potential. The primary source of savings is from electricity rather than fuel, and electricity savings are magnified by power sector decarbonization through increasing renewable generation and coal generation efficiency improvement. In order to achieve the maximum energy savings and emission reduction potential, efficiency improvements and technology switching must be undertaken across demand sectors as well as in the growing power sector.
Using the bottom-up conservation supply curve models for the cement industry, the cumulative cost-effective electricity savings potential for 2010-2030 is estimated to be 251 TWh, and the total technical electricity savings potential is 279 TWh. The cumulative cost-effective fuel savings potential is 4,326 PJ which is equivalent to the total technical potential. The CO2 emission reductions associated with the total fuel saving potential is 406 Mt CO2. For the steel industry, the cumulative cost-effective electricity savings potential for 2010-2030 is estimated to be 251 TWh, and the total technical electricity savings potential is 416 TWh. The cumulative cost-effective fuel savings potential is 11,999 PJ, and the total technical fuel saving potential is 12,139. The total potential savings from these measures confirm the magnitude of savings in the scenario models, and illustrate the remaining efficiency gap in the cement and iron and steel industries.10aChina10aChina 205010aChina Energy10aChina Energy Group10adata10aemissions10aenergy10aEnergy Analysis and Environmental Impacts Division10aInternational Energy Department10amodeling10ascenarios1 aFridley, David1 aZheng, Nina1 aZhou, Nan1 aKe, Jing1 aHasanbeigi, Ali1 aMorrow, William, R.1 aPrice, Lynn, K.1 aKhanna, Nina uhttps://china.lbl.gov/publications/china-energy-and-emissions-paths-203003040nas a2200289 4500008004100000245006600041210005800107260005100165520216800216653001002384653001502394653001702409653002302426653000802449653000902457653005702466653001302523653001902536653001402555100001402569700001902583700002402602700001602626700001302642700002102655856007402676 2011 eng d00aPeak CO2?

As a result of soaring energy demand from a staggering pace of economic growth and the related growth of energy-intensive industry, China overtook the United States to become the world's largest contributor to CO2 emissions in 2007. At the same time, China has taken serious actions to reduce its energy and carbon intensity by setting both short-term energy intensity reduction goal for 2006 to 2010 as well as long-term carbon intensity reduction goal for 2020. This study focuses on a China Energy Outlook through 2050 that assesses the role of energy efficiency policies in transitioning China to a lower emission trajectory and meeting its intensity reduction goals.
In the past years, LBNL has established and significantly enhanced the China End-Use Energy Model based on the diffusion of end-use technologies and other physical drivers of energy demand. This model presents an important new approach for helping understand China's complex and dynamic drivers of energy consumption and implications of energy efficiency policies through scenario analysis. A baseline ("Continued Improvement Scenario") and an alternative energy efficiency scenario ("Accelerated Improvement Scenario") have been developed to assess the impact of actions already taken by the Chinese government as well as planned and potential actions, and to evaluate the potential for China to control energy demand growth and mitigate emissions.
It is a common belief that China's CO2 emissions will continue to grow throughout this century and will dominate global emissions. The findings from this research suggest that this will not likely be the case because of saturation effects in appliances, residential and commercial floor area, roadways, railways, fertilizer use, and urbanization will peak around 2030 with slowing population growth. The baseline and alternative scenarios also demonstrate that the 2020 goals can be met and underscore the significant role that policy-driven energy efficiency improvements will play in carbon mitigation along with a decarbonized power supply through greater renewable and non-fossil fuel generation.10aChina10aChina 205010aChina Energy10aChina Energy Group10aco210adata10aenergy analysis and environmental impacts department10amodeling10apolicy studies10ascenarios1 aZhou, Nan1 aFridley, David1 aMcNeil, Michael, A.1 aZheng, Nina1 aKe, Jing1 aLevine, Mark, D. uhttps://china.lbl.gov/publications/peak-co2-china%E2%80%99s-emissions02364nas a2200205 4500008004100000245009200041210006900133260010600202520161900308653001001927653002301937653002101960653001301981653002501994653001402019100001402033700002002047700001602067856007502083 2008 eng d00aCurrent Status and Future Scenarios of Residential Building Energy Consumption in China0 aCurrent Status and Future Scenarios of Residential Building Ener bLawrence Berkeley National Laboratory;Kyushu Sangyo University; The University of Kitakyushuc12/20083 a
China's rapid economic expansion has propelled it into the ranks of the largest energy consuming nation in the world, with energy demand growth continuing at a pace commensurate with its economic growth. Even though the rapid growth is largely attributable to heavy industry, this in turn is driven by rapid urbanization process, by construction materials and equipment produced for use in buildings. Residential energy is mostly used in urban areas, where rising incomes have allowed acquisition of home appliances, as well as increased use of heating in southern China. The urban population is expected to grow by 20 million every year, accompanied by construction of 2 billion square meters of buildings every year through 2020. Thus residential energy use is very likely to continue its very rapid growth. Understanding the underlying drivers of this growth helps to identify the key areas to analyze energy efficiency potential, appropriate policies to reduce energy use, as well as to understand future energy in the building sector.
This paper provides a detailed, bottom-up analysis of residential building energy consumption in China using data from a wide variety of sources and a modeling effort that relies on a very detailed characterization of China's energy demand. It assesses the current energy situation with consideration of end use, intensity, and efficiency etc, and forecast the future outlook for the critical period extending to 2020, based on assumptions of likely patterns of economic activity, availability of energy services, technology improvement and energy intensities.10aChina10aenergy consumption10aenergy intensity10amodeling10aresidential building10ascenarios1 aZhou, Nan1 aNishida, Masaru1 aGao, Weijun uhttps://china.lbl.gov/publications/current-status-and-future-scenarios03565nas a2200169 4500008004100000245013300041210006900174260005100243520290800294653003103202653001403233100001503247700001403262700002103276700001903297856007903316 2006 eng d00aAchieving China's Target for Energy Intensity Reduction in 2010: An exploration of recent trends and possible future scenarios0 aAchieving China s Target for Energy Intensity Reduction in 2010 bLawrence Berkeley National Laboratoryc12/20063 a
China's 11th Five-Year Plan (FYP) sets an ambitious target for energy-efficiency improvement: energy intensity of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) should be reduced by 20% from 2005 to 2010 (NDRC, 2006). This goal signals a major shift in China's strategic thinking about its long-term economic and energy development. It also provides further evidence that the Chinese government is serious in its call for a new "scientific development perspective" (科学发展观) to assure sustainability in accordance with long-run carrying capacity of the natural environment.
This target for energy efficiency is likely to be difficult to achieve, considering that energy consumption has grown more rapidly than GDP in the last five years and, as a result, energy use per unit of GDP (energy intensity) has increased. This recent trend in energy intensity stands in sharp contrast to the trend observed from 1980 to 2000, when energy demand grew less than half as fast as GDP and energy intensity declined steadily. China's long-term development plan, which calls for a quadrupling of GDP and doubling of energy use from 2000 to 2020, was based on this earlier experience, as are projections of China's energy consumption by major Chinese and international institutions (IEA, 2004; Zhou et al., 2003). However, if the recent trend continues, not only will it jeopardize China's development goals, it will also create significantly greater adverse environmental impacts and major threats to long-run sustainability. Further, it could introduce a huge "unexpected" disturbance to the global energy and climate system. It is in recognition of the likely costs of "run-away" energy growth that China's leaders have decided to highlight the need to reduce energy intensity.
With support from the China Sustainable Energy Program of the Energy Foundation, a team of scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is working with leading Chinese research institutions to analyze how China could achieve its energy-efficiency target within the next five years. This report summarizes the initial findings of this research.
The results are presented in four sections in this report. The first section provides a detailed analysis of energy intensity trends in China during the last ten years, highlighting the shift in industrial structure toward energy intensive sub-sectors such as steel and cement as the leading cause of the recent rebound in energy intensity in China. The second section provides an explorative analysis of possible scenarios through which efficiency gains could be achieved to reach the 20% target. The third section summarizes key energy use indices by sectors. Finally, a set of policy recommendations is presented. Two appendices are included: one describes the modeling approach used in the analysis and the second describes model drivers and outputs.10aenergy intensity reduction10ascenarios1 aLin, Jiang1 aZhou, Nan1 aLevine, Mark, D.1 aFridley, David uhttps://china.lbl.gov/publications/achieving-china%E2%80%99s-target-energy

Australia is preparing to send its largest ever consignment of seeds to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault — a vault located on a remote island in Norway.
The deposit marks the 10-year anniversary of the facility which is more commonly known as the Doomsday vault because it holds more than 930,000 types of crop and pasture species.
It was a back up of as many plant species as possible as an insurance policy should a catastrophic disaster ever occur.
In February 2018 the Australian Pastures Genebank curator Steve Hughes will take a selection of seeds to Norway to make Australia's second deposit into the global seed vault.
"We've identified about 28,000 accessions that of good quality and ready for deposition. That material will be going over there along with our counterparts from the Australian Grains Genebank as well."
The Australian Pastures Genebank in Adelaide hosts Australia's entire collection of pastures and forage species.
It was created three years ago when the seeds from 12 state and federal institutions were consolidated into the one centre for pastures and a separate centre for grain seed — the Australian Grains Genebank.
Some seeds extinct in the wild
Mr Hughes said the seeds, both native and exotic, in the genebank were unique to Australia.
"It's been collected by Australian researchers over the last hundred years so there are thousands of scientists years worth of work gone into building the centre up."
"We do know that a lot of this material is no longer available overseas. It doesn't exist anymore in the environment that it was collected in, either through urbanisation or changing land use or over-grazing."
Beyond just forming part of a backup in the event of a disaster, the seeds stored in the facility are also used regularly by scientists.
"The actual diversity that's in the collection is extremely important to plant breeders.
"All the cultivars that have been grown by farmers for the last 100 years, all the historical ones, all the current ones and all the pending ones coming in as well."
"That's what the collection is built around — this commercial material — because that's the reason why we're here to make sure that our livestock producers can remain competitive in the future."

Acura Automobiles: Executive remarks from a Acura press discussion during a 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show
Posted on 18. Nov, 2016 by Jeff in Acura Canada
Remarks by Jon Ikeda, Vice President and General Manager of Acura Dave Marek, Executive Creative Director of Acura
Good afternoon everyone. Thank we for fasten us.
This year, we're celebrating Acura's 30th anniversary and we couldn't be some-more vehement about a movement we've energetic and a trail ahead. We've suspicion deeply about a history, a heritage, and a soul. And we've rekindled a childish suggestion and aspiration that incited Acura into a powerful, challenger brand.
Getting Acura behind to a roots is my tip priority. Moving forward, we're going to contest by posterior a possess singular ideas and dreams for a future.
It's been scarcely a year given we re-established Precision Crafted Performance as a instruction of a Acura brand.
This is a purpose. This is because we exist. And many importantly, this is a future.
You can already see this suggestion voiced in a NSX, that is now in patron hands. The NSX represents many some-more than a halo for a lineup. It's a skeleton for a future, a singular countenance of Acura opening that shapes all we do.
We are impossibly respected that a NSX was recently named Road Track's 2017 Performance Car of a Year, noticing not usually a implausible creation that a NSX has brought to a supercar universe, though a skill, integrity and severe suggestion of a team.
Now, augmenting a tension of a designs is vicious to a strategy. And with a introduction of a 2017 MDX, we're holding a initial stairs in bringing a comprehensive pattern denunciation desirous by a Acura Precision Concept to a core models.
With a bolder design, reward interior refinements and particular new selling vibe a greeting to MDX has been tremendous. With a MDX heading a way, we posted a best-ever Oct sales for light trucks.
The RDX also purebred a best-ever October, and it has been a undisguised shred sales personality year-to-date. And a RDX and MDX are dual of a tip 3 oppulance SUVs with buyers under-35. These millennial business are a pivotal motorist for a destiny of a brand. But we aren't interlude here.
Over a subsequent few months, you're going to see a Acura Precision Concept pattern denunciation resolutely renovate core models over MDX.
Throughout my career, there has never been a some-more sparkling time.
Advances in electrification, unconstrained vehicles and connectivity are essentially reshaping a destiny of mobility. Acura is energetic to precedence this large change to broach new value to a customers.
Our entrance into a universe of electrified vehicles began in 2012, with a introduction of a 3-motor Sport Hybrid complement on a RLX. This insubordinate powertrain achieves apex levels of indicating and opening by marrying torque-vectoring all-wheel expostulate with electric motors.
For a NSX, we turbocharged a Sport Hybrid judgment to emanate a next-generation supercar, a initial to use electric motors to whet and raise each component of car opening acceleration, braking and cornering.
We were anxious when a NSX, here on a building today, claimed feat during Pikes Peak in a North American racing debut.
Validating opening in a many impassioned of conditions a Acura NSX climbed a 14-thousand-foot rise in 10 mins and 28 seconds, winning a Time Attack 2 prolongation class.
Racing is deeply secure in Acura's spirit. Very soon, we'll strike a lane with a rarely expected NSX GT3 with a group of gifted drivers campaigning in both a IMSA Weather Tech and Pirelli World Challenge series, starting during Daytona in January. Stay tuned for some-more news about a motorsports skeleton in 2017.
The second building retard that we wish to speak about now is a trail to a programmed vehicles of a future.
Already, some-more than 70,000 vehicles on a highway now underline a AcuraWatch apartment of active reserve technologies representing a overpass to tomorrow's rarely programmed vehicles. This fall, a 2017 MDX became a initial SUV in a category and a second indication in a Acura choice to request AcuraWatch as customary apparatus on all grades. We will continue down this path, eventually requesting AcuraWatch customary on all of a core sedans and SUVs.
AcuraWatch will continue to allege with a further of Traffic Jam Assist subsequent year, significantly shortening a highlight of stop-and-go highway driving. The modernized inlet of AcuraWatch enabled a engineers to use a Acura RLX Sport Hybrid as a substructure for a second era programmed growth vehicle, also with us today, that is now contrast in a Bay Area.
It debuted progressing this year, propitious with a new apartment of modernized sensors and processors that support a judgment famous as sensor fusion. Simply put, sensor alloy leverages mixed sources of overlapping information to countenance information with a high grade of accuracy.
The same judgment is practical in a AcuraWatch complement accessible on a vehicles today. We will continue to rise AcuraWatch and we are good positioned in this space.
Now, another plea and event confronting automakers is connectivity, to some-more intuitively confederate a products with a customers' digitally-powered lives. In other words, we need to compare a bravery of a technologies with a morality and user-friendliness of a designs.
The Acura pattern group has been operative to solve this plea by looking during each component of a complement in unison, earthy and digital, to emanate a true, choreographed in-car experience.
So let's take a demeanour during what they've created, in what we're job a Acura Precision Cockpit.
The Acura Precision Cockpit previews a styling and record instruction of destiny Acura prolongation models.
Now, because deliver an interior and record judgment during a vital automobile show. Our extraneous pattern instruction was energetic by a Acura Precision Concept and has been impossibly good received.
For today's buyers generally millennials, a in-car record knowledge is only as vicious as extraneous design.
The Acura Precision Cockpit fuses ergonomic pattern with a never-before-seen handling system, that facilities a new interface that goes over a normal hold shade or remote-based approach.
And to share some-more about this sparkling direction, greatfully acquire Dave Marek, Acura's Executive Creative Director.
Dave Marek
Thanks, Jon. It's good to be with we again.
In January, we debuted a Acura Precision Concept during a Detroit automobile show, substantiating a confidant new pattern instruction for a Acura brand.
The Acura Precision Cockpit builds on that direction, delivering a sporty tellurian centered interior design.
Together, a Precision Concept and a Precision Cockpit are a elemental building blocks for Acura's future. To us, interiors are vicious for communicating performance.
The Acura Precision Cockpit's seats, steering circle and expostulate mode dial are adopted from a NSX, indicating to a sporty destiny for a brand. Natural wood, leather and alcantara finishes emanate a reward demeanour and feel. The instrument row houses a wide, ultra-clear, 12-inch driver's display.
The digital scale utilizes a real-time 3D engine to support modernized graphics that raise a pushing experience. For example, a energetic semi-autonomous blueprint displays other cars and highway objects famous by a vehicle's modernized sensors, visually specifying other cars handling autonomously.
An modernized prophesy mode leverages sensors and synthetic comprehension to arrangement cars, pedestrians, cyclists and other objects vaporous from a driver's line of sight, along with likely destiny pathways. This mode builds tellurian certainty in a car's semi-autonomous systems. Distinct colors and animations compare a pushing mode comparison by a motorist – white for Snow, blue for Comfort, red for Sport and orange for Sport Plus.
A matching, far-reaching core arrangement is placed high in a cabin tighten to a driver's healthy line-of-sight. The core arrangement is operated by a winding touchpad that is optimally positioned in a core stack. This touchpad is ergonomically designed to discharge a need to visually locate a symbol or a switch.
Now, as Jon indicated, a new touchpad we've grown is a singular approach. We did a lot of research. Of course, we looked during intelligent phones, tablets and other devices, complicated a patron knowledge and a singular environmental conditions inside a vehicle.
The complement we recognised has been combined with a motorist in mind. A normal touchscreen proceed is intuitive, what we see is what we press.
But it also army a compromised chain of a shade – tighten to a motorist and out of a driver's healthy line-of-sight.
A normal remote interface – found in many oppulance cars – solves these problems, though creates a new one: a communication between a remote and a arrangement is surreptitious and clumsy.
The Acura Precision Cockpit's touchpad overcomes these issues by regulating comprehensive position mapping for a initial time in a pushing environment, mixing a coherence and usability of a touchscreen with a comfort and reduced motorist daze of a remote.
With comprehensive positioning, a communication with a touchpad aligns precisely with a actions on a categorical display, expelling a awkward remote knowledge that you're used to.
Every mark on a touchpad is mapped to a specific duty on a display, only like a touchscreen. The morality of this pattern creates it unique, organic and personal – and quite good matched for performance-oriented machines.
The investigate and growth of a touchpad was certified by tens of thousands of hours during a Ohio State University's universe category Driving Simulation Laboratory energetic with a assistance of a Ohio RD Center. What we detected was that, on average, drivers spin acclimated and gentle with a new hold pad in only minutes.
Along with previewing a destiny designs, a Acura Precision Cockpit, reveals a Android-based, next-gen Acura OS that will energy a destiny prolongation cars. The user interface is clean, elementary and beautiful, minimizing layers and clearly displaying information to a motorist by a core arrangement with dual dedicated zones. The incomparable left section is dedicated to apps and navigation, while a smaller right section allows a motorist to fast switch by audio, continue notifications.
Every component of a Acura Precision Cockpit, physical, digital and audio was designed by one group operative seamlessly together to emanate a choreographed pushing experience. This is a antecedent complement that we are elaborating into a new interior pattern for prolongation vehicles starting in a subsequent few years.
Now, I'll spin it behind over to Jon.
Jon Ikeda
Thanks, Dave. And interjection to all of we for fasten us today.
Precision Crafted Performance is a destiny of this code though it's not a destination.
As we demonstrated today, it's a mindset and a joining to doing new and severe things formed on a possess singular ideas for a customers.
We have a universe of event brazen of us and we couldn't be any some-more energized about a ability to emanate a new pushing knowledge that is singly Acura.
Thank you.

Unemployment and Bankruptcy
Filed under: bankruptcy
One of the most common reasons for filing bankruptcy is unemployment. When the primary bill payer in the home loses their job or has a reduction in hours, it can be devastating to the household finances. Layoffs are listed as a significant factor for Americans filing bankruptcy.
Traditional advice is to have three to six months of salary in savings to get us through the hard times in case of income loss. Most of us, however, do not have a large portion of our income tucked away.
Unemployment Benefits
Unemployment benefits are in place to help when in between jobs. For those fortunate enough to get these benefits, it is usually not enough to pay your monthly debt. And for those without these benefits, you may quickly find yourself with a pile of unpaid bills.
If you have no prospect of income in the near future, it may be unavoidable that you will lose some of your assets. Filing bankruptcy can help protect your most important assets from being seized for nonpayment. When you file bankruptcy, the automatic stay goes into effect, stopping all collection attempts against you.
If you have lost your job, and either unemployment benefits are not enough, or you have no income at all, you may want to file bankruptcy to eliminate your unsecured debt. Contacting a Rio Grande bankruptcy attorney can help you choose the best option for you to get financial relief.

While it's true that Delhi has numerous fancy places to head to for a grand night, it's also got an obsession, a hunger, for all things new. The city welcomes with open arms all kinds of revellers, whether they are style-conscious dogs or merrymakers drunk on European joie de vivre.
The Medicine Show, which has drawn inspiration from the European cabaret, highlights the emerging talent from across the city and helps them reach out to audiences in a supportive setting. "We have more women in the audience than men," says Stefan of Stiff Kitten, the organiser of the event, which is held every three months. The last two shows, held at The Living Room, Hauz Khas Village, and The Royal Mirage at the Surya Crowne Plaza Hotel, saw people from all walks of life enjoying the evening.
Pecha Kucha (a Japanese term for 'chit-chat', pronounced pe-chak-cha) began in Japan as a public platform for the exchange of ideas, and has grown into a worldwide celebration. Conceptualised by architect-duo Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham, the beauty of pecha kucha lies in the fact that anyone can present anything-for an allotted time of 6 minutes, 40 seconds. The British Council, along with the Centre for Knowledge Societies (CKS) and art bookstore CMYK, is hosting one such night on December 16, to explore the intersection between 'writing and drawing' (at the CMYK store, Meharchand market).
Then, there's Jea Band. This music band belching out Bollywood numbers is so much a part of the city's marriage ethos, you can't escape its influence at any wedding. With the marriage season in full swing, get your dance moves ready for some major good times.
Delhi-based event organisers are always evolving their programmes to suit the fickle-minded populace, so look forward to events like 'Drop Beats, Not Bombs' (a music battle between an Iraqi DJ and an American DJ), 'Designers at Play' (fashion and product designers presenting their concepts) and 'Sushi Samba' (a confluence of culture between Brazil and Japan). Welcome to the new Maximum City.
| Snow party
Who says it doesn't snow in Delhi? The city saw the first of its snow parties at the Love Hotel, at Ai, Metropolitan Mall. No longer do you need to head up to Shimla for some shivery fun in the snow.
Pet fashion
Decked up in the latest doggie fashion, pet models were out on the ramp at the Petsetgo's fashion show for dogs. Pet food, accessories, dog dental products, shampoos, conditioners and perfumes: Petsetgo caters to the most discerning of dog enthusiasts. The city's dogs are certainly celebrating their year-end in style.
Jea Band
Jea Band, the city's oldest marriage band, offers foottapping tunes in the dead of night. It's a rare Delhiite who has not danced to their beat at a wedding. An integral part of our nightlife, yes?
Pecha Kucha Nights
An event for people to meet, network, share thoughts and ideas at a public forum in a relaxed setting-that's what a pecha kucha night is. Each individual shows 20 slides, with 20 seconds to explain each slide. The first pecha kucha night was held in Tokyo and soon its presence was felt in cities around the world, including several held in Delhi this year. Art bookstore CMYK is hosting one on December 16, in case you're really curious.
Medicine Pecha Kucha Nights Show
Delhi's first cabaret/ variety show, The Medicine Show gets its unusual name from the 19th century entertainment show that involved comedians and vibrant dancers. From surreal renderings of Bollywood numbers to stand-up routines, from puppetteering to theatrical shows and band performances, it all happens here. "The shows might be a little provocative but they are all in good taste," says the organiser, Stefan of Stiff Kitten.

Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution seeks maximum penalty for those convicted in case of girl who died in school bus
Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution has announced that it will challenge the judgments of the Abu Dhabi Appeal Court on easing the verdicts on defendants who were accused of causing the death of a three-year-old girl they left on a school bus.
The Abu Dhabi Misdemeanour Court initially convicted all the defendants, including the driver, bus supervisor, and an administrative staff member, who were collectively ordered to pay the blood money to the parents of the victim and serve jail terms. The school outside where the incident occurred was also ordered to close.
The Court of Appeal overturned the rulings against the defendants by abolishing the closure of the school and halving the blood money.
In the wake of those verdicts, Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution has announced it is currently preparing a memo to contest the rulings before the Court of Cassation.
According to news agency WAM, the Public Prosecution indicated from the outset that it had demanded the maximum penalty on those convicted, given the fact that the victim was a small girl and they should have accorded more care and safety. The prosecutors added that the death occurred due to a sequence of neglect and irresponsible behaviours, noting that it would have been averted if any of the accused had done his/her job properly.
Al Worood Academy Private School was issued with a closure order after a three-year-old pupil died from heat exhaustion when she was left locked inside the school bus. ADEC last week affirmed the closure order, saying the school's licence would remain revoked.
In its decision, the appeals court upheld the AED50,000 ($13,600) fine on the school and ordered that it pay AED100,000 ($27,000) in blood money.
After receiving a three-year sentence in the original ruling, the bus driver had his sentence reduced to six months and the supervisor was sentenced to one year, with a AED20,000 ($5,400) for each defendant.

How to set up a DMZ
Looking to set up a DMZ? Look no further. In this expert response, Mike Chapple explains the steps to creating a demilitarized zone.
I want to create a new DMZ from scratch and I don't know how. What are the basic steps for a DMZ setup?

Enjoy this article as well as all of our content, including E-Guides, news, tips and more.
Fortunately, a demilitarized zone (DMZ) deployment on a network is quite simple. A DMZ is a protected middle ground network where you can deploy servers that offer services to the public. Building one is a simple matter of using a firewall with three network interface cards, configured as shown in the diagram below:
Then, using the firewall, create rules that allow the minimum necessary traffic between zones, subject to the following conditions:
- Systems from the Internet may not connect directly to the intranet.
- Systems from the intranet may not connect directly to the Internet.
The second rule is sometimes omitted for simplicity of implementation. When you do choose to implement your network in this fashion, place a proxy server in the DMZ that users may access when they wish to request information from an Internet-based Web server (for example).
The use of a DMZ implementation to isolate publicly accessible systems is one of the longest-standing principles of information security. I encourage you to pursue this avenue as quickly as possible if you have not already done so. For more information on this topic, read Placing systems in a firewall topology.

- Learn whether it's a good idea to place a domain controller within a DMZ.

The Vine Bistro delivers on what they're known for: classic French-inspired bistro fare. With a relatively small menu, ranging from seasonally changing starters like beef brisket consommé, panfried sweetbreads or duck & pistachio galantine, or mains like red stumpnose with a bouillabaisse sauce or braised pork cheeks, there's no question that they're owned by a true French madame (May de Lencquesaing).
Although the a la carte menu is not considered cheap, look out for the Winter menu at a very reasonably priced R245 for three courses, with choices between 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 desserts. The pork and pistachio sausage salad is delightfully served with fresh, well-dressed baby greens, and the mains of rabbit & mushroom casserole with polenta will leave you licking the plate.
For dessert, allow an extra 20 minutes for the freshly made apple tarte tatin with calvados and apple sorbet, or try the chocolate and sesame nougat glacé with poached fig and dark chocolate sauce. Everything on the dessert menu looks delectable, and it might be a good idea to return for tasting your way through it.
Ask the waiter for kids options (not on the menu) - they serve delicious child friendly items like grilled fish and potatoes. On Sundays there's a weekly changing set menu at R350/person or R170/kids under 12 - a great option for treating the whole family. Get the upcoming menu on their website.
Glenelly has a large range of premium wines that are all available on their vast wine list. Apart from that, you'll be able to find a smaller selection of wines from other local estates as well as a few hand picked imported French items. For those who prefer to have something else, there are also beers, gin, whiskey etc.
Service is professional, welcoming and very friendly.
Glenelly is a breathtaking, pristine estate. The views of Stellenbosch town and surrounding mountains from the hill where the tasting room and restaurant are situated are fantastic. During warmer months, book a table on the deck overlooking the garden (at night the garden is strategically lit and creates wonderful ambiance), or opt for a spot next to the modern fireplace indoors. Decor is contemporary and cool with a tough of French elegance, as seen in the beautiful modern ceramic crockery and vintage French-style cutlery. Wooden accents and leather couches completes the casually luxurious look.
Best for...
Best for a gathering with friends and family around a large table, celebrating the magic of French simplicity matched perfectly with some of the finest wines made in Stellenbosch.

The program will celebrate four artistic disciplines: culinary arts, literary arts, performing arts and visual arts, and 8 of the 22 Enoch Pratt Free Library branches will be activated with family friendly activities and programming including book readings, drone workshops, and silent discos.
As part of the festival, BOPA has awarded $5,000 each to 11 Baltimore City neighborhoods – Bromo Arts, Canton, Frankford, Fells Point, Irvington, Mount Clare, Oliver, Patterson Park, Promise Heights, Reservoir Hill, and Station North Arts District, to create and implement an arts experience that will expand the city's shine during the 10 day celebration.
"For 10 days this November, Baltimore is going to dazzle residents and visitors alike with its neighborhood light displays and events," said Kathy Hornig, Festival Director and Chief Operating Officer of the Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts. "The 11 grant recipients this year encapsulate the city's wealth of talent and will allow residents to enjoy world-class art on their doorstep, free of charge."
Neighborhood Lights is just one of many vivid activations taking place November 1-10 during Brilliant Baltimore. On the waterfront, Light City will feature 20 world-class light art installations created by artists from five continents. Baltimore Book Festival will further highlight Baltimore's literary prowess with poetry, storytelling and more as visionary authors, world-class chefs and dynamic performers bring their talents and ideas to stage and at more intimate and interactive gatherings throughout the city.

Pamela York Klainer
Mr. Lew tapped lightly on Rose's door at five thirty, just as he'd said he would. The hour was a little late for Rose, who liked to have her evening meal at five. By the time they walked to the diner and then were served it would be nearer to six, and Rose would be starved. But she hadn't wanted to ask Mr. Lew if they could leave earlier. She was ready and waiting, purse in hand, when he knocked. He was dressed in neatly pressed chinos and a white dress shirt and a riotously colored bow tie, not the clip-on kind but one that you tied yourself. He saw Rose staring at the tie and laughed gently. "My daughters. They gave me my first bow tie the Christmas they were nine years old – they're twins. I still have that tie. It was purple, which was their favorite color. My wife thought a purple bow tie didn't suit my professional image, but I put the tie right on and wore it to work on the first day back after vacation. From then on it became the girls' and my little rebellion against their mother, who liked order and serenity and muted colors. They got me new bow ties for every occasion, and the patterns and colors got more and more wild. Finally my wife gave up trying to make me look like a sober accountant. Wearing a bow tie became my trademark, and clients would have been shocked to see me in anything else. They all knew my ties were gifts from the girls, and every time I met with someone he or she would ask how my lovely daughters were doing." Mr. Lew's smile changed, and became a little sad. "I thought I might wear a regular dark tie to my wife's funeral, but the girls and their families showed up that morning with a new bow tie for me to wear and it just seemed right to put it on. My wife would have expected nothing else, and I can even imagine she might have smiled."
Rose's first instinct was to freeze at the mention of daughters, thinking of her own, but Mr. Lew didn't notice. His face brightened again, and he actually offered Rose his arm. "Shall we go?"
Mr. Lew liked the Greek diner too, and that's where they were headed. As they entered Rose was startled to see a stark white sign with black print where the statue she'd stolen weeks ago would have been. WOULD THE PERSON WHO TOOK THIS STATUE KINDLY RETURN IT. THANK YOU. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. NO CHARGES WILL BE FILED. THE MANAGEMENT. Mr. Lew saw the sign too, and was puzzled. He asked the waitress about it on their way to a booth.
"Those old statues are actually pretty valuable, as part of the set. They have real gold paint, not fake, and they were hand made by some old dead Greek artist. They belonged to Mr. Galyanos's grandmother, and he's had them up there for years without one getting broken or swiped. Then one day a few weeks ago a statue was just gone, and no one saw anything. He feels terrible. He figures one of the high school kids took it and sold it to a pawn shop for a few bucks, not knowing it was worth something. We have a pawn shop a few blocks away and Mr. Galyanos went there to ask, but they said they didn't take in anything good like the statue Mr. Galyanos was describing, just the fake ones covered with dust in the window."
Rose accepted a menu from the waitress and forced herself to concentrate on the specials. Rose's cheeks, usually rather pale, burned with embarrassment. She'd been cheated by the pawn shop owner, who'd recognized a valuable piece and told her it was worth nothing, that he'd give her five bucks and no more. And she'd taken something from Mr. Galyanos that really mattered. Rose had assumed the statues would just be moved around by whoever dusted the shelves, and no one would even notice one was gone. But Mr. Galyanos had noticed. Rose realized, with a sharp intake of breath, that she'd be mortified if she ever got caught. She would quite simply die of the shame. She'd be a thief, a common thief, and it would be on the front page of the paper, and everyone in town would know. Rose wanted to crawl under the table and hide.
Mr. Lew was looking at the specials too. "How odd that a statue would be taken like that, after being up on that shelf for so many years. The culprit must have been someone traveling through. No one who comes here regularly would have done that to Mr. Galyanos. My accounting practice was a small business too, and I'd never have survived if people I knew had stolen from me."
Rose needed to say something, and quickly, before Mr. Lew noticed her red cheeks and too-rapid breathing. She was about to blame the theft on the new element that had moved into town, the ones that hardly spoke passable English, when she caught herself. Mr. Lew was Oriental, and maybe among his forebears were people who hadn't spoken good English either. Instead she dredged up a platitude from the depths of her worried mind. "Maybe someone took the statue who really needed the money. You never know. We have to feel sorry for people like that who weren't brought up well and don't know the right thing to do."
Mr. Lew nodded, turning toward the waitress who had come to take their order. Rose, looking back down at the menu, forced her panic to subside. The waitress had said clearly that no one saw anything when the statue was stolen. The pawn shop guy couldn't identify her without getting nailed himself for having accepted a stolen statue. Rose wasn't going to get caught. If she'd looked guilty on seeing the sign no one had noticed. Rose was nervous and frightened to be at the scene of her crime, but she was good at covering her feelings and Mr. Lew surely wasn't aware.
But he was. After they'd given their order, he turned toward her. "I hope you're not feeling ill at ease about being out for dinner with me. I really meant just what I said when I invited you. I've been very, very lonely since my wife died. I have the girls and they are always good to me, but it isn't the same, is it, as having your spouse? I'm very honored that you accepted, and if I may say so you're looking very pretty tonight. I always liked it when my wife had her hair done before we went out. Our landlady is a bit of a matchmaker, did you know? Before I even moved in she told me there was a lovely lady in 5C, and that I should look you up when I had a chance. And then you came out into the hall when I was carrying all those boxes, and I decided right then and there to see if we might have an evening out."
Inside Rose felt herself begin to crumble. Nothing, absolutely nothing, was going the way she'd expected. First of all Mr. Lew had said the date was no big deal and then he'd showed up all nicely dressed, as if going out with Rose justified taking trouble. She'd come for the free dinner, expecting the evening to go the way it would have when she'd been married to Roger. Roger never even combed his hair when they went out. He always said gruffly that if she wanted to drag him out of his chair for overpriced food in a restaurant she'd have to take him as he was. If Mr. Lew had dressed up for their date, maybe he wanted something that Rose was unprepared to give. Then came the hand-lettered sign, and the missing statue, and the abject fear of being caught. Things felt as if they were spinning completely out of control, and when something started to go wrong in Rose's life it generally got really wrong really fast.
Rose began thinking she should find a way to cut the evening short. She was too upset to eat, and too worried to think of pleasant things to say to Mr. Lew. Then the basket of rolls and butter came to the table, along with their beverages.
With the tempting smell of warm bread came something new, a feeling Rose couldn't quite identify. Mr. Lew, noticing her anxiety, hadn't gone for the jugular as everyone else in her life did. He'd tried to make her feel better. She was nonplussed. Looking at the basket of bread and butter Rose realized she was quite hungry. Pretty soon their dinners would come. She'd ordered meatloaf with mashed, a side of extra gravy, and creamed cauliflower with cheese. Her mouth was watering. Nobody could ever possibly find out about the statue, and maybe the evening would be fine. Rose reached for a roll, the largest one, and two pats of butter.
Then Mr. Lew asked a simple question, one that utterly threw Rose for a loop.
He was smiling, his arms folded casually in front of him. He was actually waiting, quite calmly and patiently, for her to respond.
"You know, I've told you a bit about myself, with the bow tie and all. But I don't really know anything about you. Would you tell me more? Who is my lovely neighbor Rose?"

Posts for category: Foot Conditions
Do you have an itchy rash between your toes? You may have athlete's foot. Your McKinney & Prosper, TX, podiatrists, Drs. Eric Silvers, Dustin Lloyd, and Christopher Witt of Advanced Foot and Ankle Center offer treatments that stop the itch and other athlete's foot symptoms.
Do you have any of these athlete's foot signs and symptoms?
You may have athlete's foot if you have any of these symptoms:
- Rash: A red rash forms between your toes and may eventually spread to the soles of your feet. Blisters that weep and ooze may also appear between your toes or on your feet. In fact, the area between your toes may feel constantly moist.
- Swelling and Inflammation: Your rash may appear red and puffy.
- Itching and Other Symptoms: Itching, burning, and stinging sensations often accompany the rash.
- Skin Changes: Cracking, peeling skin can occur if you don't treat athlete's foot as soon as you notice signs of the infection.
- Foul Odor: The infection can also cause an unpleasant odor.
But I'm not an athlete! How did I get athlete's foot?
You don't have to play a sport to get athlete's foot. The fungus that causes the infection is very contagious. You can pick it up if you walk barefoot in a public locker room, shower room, or swimming area. The fungal infection can also spread between members of the same household.
What can I do to treat the infection?
It's a good idea to visit your McKinney, TX, & Prosper, TX, foot doctor if you still have athlete's foot after using over-the-counter anti-fungal products. Call your podiatrist as soon as you notice signs of athlete's foot if you have diabetes.
Your podiatrist can prescribe a topical medication that's strong enough to penetrate the deeper layers of your skin where the infection lurks.
A visit to the foot doctor can end your athlete's foot symptoms. Call your McKinney, TX, & Prosper, TX, podiatrists, Drs. Eric Silvers, Dustin Lloyd, and Christopher Witt of Advanced Foot and Ankle Center, at (972) 542-2155 to schedule an appointment.
What Are Neuromas?
You might be walking along and feel pain near the ball of your foot, like there's a rock inside your shoe. If the ache stays with you, a condition called neuroma might be the cause. A neuroma is a growth of nerve tissue frequently found between the third and fourth toes. Led by Dr. Silvers, Dr. Witt, and Dr. Lloyd, Advanced Foot and Ankle Center (offices in Prosper and McKinney, TX) offers treatments for neuromas. Here's all you need to know about neuromas.
Causes of Neuromas: Neuromas can have numerous causes. Some common causes of neuromas include: genetics, ill-fitting shoes, rheumatoid arthritis or gout, repetitive trauma, and pregnancy. Neuromas can also be caused by biomechanical problems, such as a bunion or foot pronation.
Symptoms of Neuromas: Normally, there are no outward signs, such as a lump, because a neuroma is not really a tumor. A neuroma is a painful condition. There may be a sharp, burning pain or numbness in your toes or ball of your foot.
Diagnosis of Neuromas: At your appointment, your podiatrist in McKinney will perform a physical examination. Your podiatrist will order x-rays or other imaging tests to confirm a diagnosis. X-rays may be required to rule out a fracture or arthritis of the joints that join the toes to the foot. X-rays alone will not show whether or not a neuroma is present, so an ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging test may be done to confirm a diagnosis.
Treatment of Neuromas: People with neuromas may need to take painkillers, change their footwear, or get steroid injections. Prescription orthotics can help reduce pressure on the nerve and relieve your pain. In some cases, surgery may be required to remove the affected nerve or release the pressure on it. Surgery is an effective treatment for neuromas.
Save yourself from pain! Don't delay- call Advanced Foot and Ankle Center at (972) 542-2155 right now to schedule a consultation with one of our podiatrists in Prosper or McKinney, TX. Get your life back on track by receiving the best neuroma treatment available. We will help you cure your pain fast!
Swelling, reddened flesh, shooting pain, and pus are just some of the incredibly uncomfortable symptoms of having an ingrown toenail. Although this condition can sometimes be successfully treated through home remedies, ingrown toenails often progress to the point of infection, a point that then requires professional treatment. Read on to learn what causes this problem, when it's right to seek medical help, and how our podiatrists can help get your foot back to a healthy state!
The Causes and Symptoms
Before we cover how to treat ingrown toenails, let's first review the core causes and symptoms that hallmark this condition…
Ingrown toenails initially develop due to a few different factors, including:
- Cutting the toenail too short
- Rounding the toenail during grooming
- Wearing improperly fitting shoes
- Experiencing toe trauma
If the flesh on the side of the toe has become red, swollen, and tender, you likely have an ingrown toenail. If you have caught this problem while it's still in its early stages, you can try implementing some of the home remedies listed in the next section. However, if your toe is exhibiting some of the following signs of infection, you should seek professional podiatric help:
- Pervasive shooting or throbbing toe pain
- Regular bleeding
- The presence of a pus-filled blister
- The skin has started growing over the nail
Home Remedies
As mentioned above, if an ingrown toenail is caught before infection sets in, there are a few different methods that you can practice at home in order to clear up the issue. Some of these include:
- Around 3 to 4 times a day, submerge your foot into warm water for 15 to 20 minutes. Regularly doing this should reduce swelling and provide pain relief.
- Following each soaking, use cotton to separate the ingrown toenail from the flesh that it is starting to grow under. This should allow the nail to grow above the skin again.
- Avoid snug or constraining shoes.
If these actions fail to clear up the problem in 2 to 3 days, you should pursue professional treatment.
Professional Treatments
In the case of a severe or recurring infection, there are a few different procedures that your podiatrist can perform to make your toe healthy again. Depending on the specifics of your ingrown toenail, one of the following treatments may be recommended:
- Partial Nail Removal: In the case of a severe ingrown toenail, your doctor can numb your toe before physically removing the ingrown portion of the nail.
- Nail and Tissue Removal: If the same toe is repeatedly experiencing the same ingrown toenail problem, this procedure can be performed to prevent future recurrences. It entails your podiatrist removing a portion of the underlying nail bed, thus preventing the nail from become ingrown again.
Concerned About Your Toe? Give Us a Call!
If your ingrown toenail needs medical attention, call our podiatric office today!
Heel pain is one of the most common complaints a podiatrist hears about from patients. If you are dealing with heel pain above the heel bone then you could be dealing with Achilles Tendonitis, a result of overuse. The Achilles tendon is the longest tendon in the body and it serves to connect the muscles of the calf with the lower leg and heel bone.
While Achilles Tendonitis tends to occur most often in runners, this condition can still occur in athletes that play certain sports such as soccer or tennis. Unfortunately, this tendon does weaken as we get older, which makes at an increased risk for developing this overuse injury as we age.
What are the symptoms of Achilles Tendonitis?
The most obvious symptom of Achilles Tendonitis is pain above the heel bone. When the pain first appears it's usually pretty mild and you may only notice it after running; however, over time you may notice that the pain gets worse after certain exercises. Along with pain you may also experience stiffness or tenderness in the heel, especially in the morning or after long periods of sitting.
When should I see a podiatrist?
If this is the first time that you've ever experienced heel pain then it's a good idea to turn to a foot doctor who can determine whether Achilles Tendonitis is causing your symptoms or whether it's something else. If you're experiencing chronic heel pain around the Achilles tendon it's also a good time to see a doctor. If the pain is severe or you are unable to put weight on your foot it's possible that you might be dealing with a ruptured tendon, which requires immediate attention.
How do you treat Achilles Tendonitis?
In most cases, Achilles Tendonitis can be treated with simple self-care options. Unless symptoms are severe you may be able to treat your heel pain by:
- Taking over-the-counter pain medications
- Avoiding high-impact activities or activities that exacerbate symptoms
- Elevating the foot to reduce swelling
- Performing stretching exercises or undergoing physical therapy
- Icing the heel
- Wearing custom orthotics
- Replacing worn-out shoes, especially running shoes
Surgery is only necessary if your symptoms aren't responding to any other nonsurgical treatment options after several months or if the tendon is torn.
If you think your heel pain could be the result of Achilles Tendonitis then it's time to turn to a podiatrist as soon as possible. A podiatrist can provide you with a variety of treatment options, from simple lifestyle modifications to custom orthotics.
Find out when your heel pain may require additional treatment from a medical expert.
Is heel pain keeping you from lacing up your sneakers and taking your morning run? If so, you may be dealing with an inflammatory problem known as plantar fasciitis. This is a problem that plagues a lot of athletes, especially runners. If you are dealing with heel pain, find out when you should turn to our Prosper and McKinney, TX, podiatrists, Dr. Eric Silvers, Dr. Dustin Lloyd and Dr. Christopher Witt for care.
What is plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis refers to a condition that affects the plantar fascia, a thick grouping of tissue that runs the length of the feet from the toes to the heels. If the fascia has been overworked or overstretched, it can lead to irritation or inflammation, which in turn causes the heel pain you are now experiencing.
What causes plantar fasciitis?
Often times, faulty biomechanics are to blame for plantar fasciitis, as those with very high arches or flat feet are more likely to develop the condition. Of course, if you wear worn-out shoes or shoes that don't offer enough support this can put extra strain and pressure on the plantar fascia, which can lead to heel pain. This is why it's very important for athletes to replace their sneakers every few months or when the treads start to wear out.
How do I know that I have plantar fasciitis?
Since there are other conditions that can cause heel pain, if this is your first time experiencing the discomfort, it might be a good idea to visit our foot doctors in either Prosper or McKinney, TX, for a proper diagnosis. Common symptoms of plantar fasciitis include,
- Pain that starts at the base of the heel
- Pain in the arches of the foot
- Pain that is worse when getting up in the morning
- Pain that eases up as you move throughout the day
- Pain that is exacerbated by working out
The thing about plantar fasciitis-related heel pain is that the pain is often worse in the morning when first getting up, but may dissipate throughout the day as the tissues warm up. Of course, this doesn't mean that it's safe for you to workout or go for a run. While the pain may not be present when running or working out, it will often return immediately after.
If you've dealt with heel pain before, you may be able to just handle the issue on your own with simple home treatments and rest; however, if you find that your heel pain is getting worse or isn't responding to at-home care, then it's time to call us to schedule an evaluation.
Give us a call!
Advanced Foot and Ankle Center has offices in both Prosper and McKinney, TX, to better serve you. If you are dealing with severe, persistent or stubborn heel pain then give us a call today at (972) 542-2155 to find out how we can help you.

One Tactic That Will Make Your Resume Stand Out
The job market is still very tough, and some applicants will go to great lengths just to get noticed by both recruiters and potential employers. Some jobseekers even gain notice in the headlines for some of the unconventional tactics they use. While these resume tactics may gain attention in the public eye, they seldom result in job offers. Those that are hired did not obtain the job because of a gimmick; the gimmick simply made the potential employer sit up and take notice.
The 10 Worst Resume Mistakes (that could keep you from getting a job)
The 10 Worst Resume Mistakes to Avoid
In many cases your resume is the first contact you have with a potential employer. Unfortunately, the worst resume mistakes are the easiest to make while quite difficult to repair after submission. It doesn't matter whether it is your first job or are updating your resume for a mid-career job search; no one is immune from making mistakes.
4 Strategies To Improve Your Job Hunting Skills
It is very difficult to endure job-hunting. It involves a rather boring process of searching for just the right job, updating your outdated resume, writing a variety of cover letters, and then sending them to potential employers. You then have to wait and remain confident you will obtain a job interview.
It's important to detail your resume and cover letter so it matches the job description. Even if you had the same job title in a previous position, if you lack the skills employers request, it is not very likely you will succeed in obtaining an interview. What you want to do is highlight those skills that are necessary based on the requirements of the company. It's also essential to mention why you are applying for a job with that particular company and what you can offer them if they choose to hire you.

Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 (IBC), Law that takes over businesses and assets from defaulters and empowers lenders to change the management, upheld by Supreme Court on Friday 25 January 2019, is an exciting victory for credit markets and entrepreneurship, when a Bench of Justices Rohinton Nariman and Navin Sinha, stated, "The defaulter's paradise is lost. In its place, the economy's rightful position has been regained," and observed, "We are happy to note that in the working of the Code, the flow of financial resource to the commercial sector has increased exponentially as a result of financial debts being repaid".
This constitutes a clear signal of its backing for the IBC which, despite all the challenges that it has faced, has been successful in sending a message to recalcitrant defaulters that there can be no more business-as-usual when they default.
Supreme Court judgement upholding constitutional validity of IBC in its "entirety" is a strong signal to borrowers and banks, even as it brings a sense of relief to the Centre, which has been watching one of its better economic initiatives being stifled by vested interests. This would have a major impact on the country's economic landscape as it eases the implementation of the Code in knotty cases.
Repayment of financial debt by borrowers infuses capital into the economy as lenders can on-lend the money that has been repaid to other entrepreneurs, thus aiding economic activity, the judges observed.
