Losing telephone service can be a real death nail in the coffin of any Business, big or small. When the loss of communication transpires, a Corporation is unable to stay in contact with their customers and employees. This makes losing many thousands of dollars or even more a reality for corporations in Norwalk California with out a hosted Phone system.
Don't wait until you are faced with a crisis. Be sure you have a dependable managed hosted PBX Telephone system in Norwalk California and protect your company.
… so you benefit from a superior system of a hosted PBX over a conventional Phone system.
Significant issues have arisen over the course of 14 years for firms which have dealt with telephony industries like:
Modern managed hosted PBX Phone platforms are the solution to these difficulties, giving you the most up-to-date capabilities without requiring large investments in overpriced equipment.
Managed hosted PBX systems are sophisticated and integrated telephone systems that are friendly to your budget. Corporations no longer need to pay for complicated Telephone systems, with a managed hosted PBX, you just have to buy the handsets. The handsets will then connect with your voice service provider on the internet. Rather than paying for a Telephone system for $10,000 to $250,000, your phones connect with their equipment. This gives you the best and newest technology, without any upkeep or specialists, at a small percentage of the cost.
The more traditional Telephone cabinets that you might find in offices will offer you basic features, such as extensions and voicemail voicemail. Maybe even an intercom. That's usually it. POTS are copper lines found in old houses. To increase your company volume you may have to update to a fiber optic T1 line for handling your needs. Restrictions on old Phone systems include:
With hosted PBX platforms, your telephones are "powered" by massive PBX systems that are managed hosted in carrier-grade data centers. Providers of these platforms can also add total capacity at their end, enabling you to scale easily.
Unlike in-house Phone systems, that are often reduced to a certain number of extensions, Telephone lines, and other capabilities, managed hosted PBX platforms in Norwalk California can offer practically unlimited total capacity.
Hosted PBX platforms boast up to 87 distinct features – and more. While each product is unique, most offer some benefits to help you increase business: Being effective and efficient is how your Business will benefit and grow:
Handsets aside, Norwalk California hosted PBX systems don't require the buying of equipment to function. More firms can afford the cost of handsets, which average between $150 to $300 each, compared to the cost of a whole PBX Telephone system which ranges somewhere between $20K to $100K – or even more. It is no obscurity that traditional Telephone platforms offer leasing options but you'll pay full price with interest for it. Hosted PBX Telephone platforms, however, will only set you back the cost of the desktop phones.
Not only do you save money on equipment and upkeep, you save on tech support too. Hosted PBX systems rarely fail, but if such a failure were to occur, the fault could well be at the providers data centers. The providers experts would be there and ready to fix the problem. Any such repairs would set you back nothing, as it is the vendors obligation.
The details tell the only tale that means something – hosted PBX platforms are the best choice. With:
… there's a expanding marketplace and Hosted PBX is paving the way to do corporation. Studying the huge benefits and savings of Managed hosted PBX system solutions for your Corporation is not hard. Merely complete the quick form and you are on your way.

Daniel Plainview has got to be my favourite film character in a long time. Love that you can't tell if he's a hero or villain. Love what he says about wanting everyone to fail but him. Love the 'stache.
Best film I've seen since 'No Country for Old Men.' Loved it.

Since 1979 and sales of 50,000, the Nutbread and Nostalgia cookbook had sold out by the mid-2000s. This cookbook had been distributed to 100 local merchants and was featured in trade shows by The Junior League of South Bend members. Members gifted this celebrated book to families and friends throughout the country.
In honor of the Junior League of South Bend's 75th Anniversary, Nutbread and Nostalgia returns by popular demand with it's 75th Anniversary reprinting!
Past published reviews of Nutbread and Nostalgia included consumer descriptions as "5 stars," "A Treasure," "Classic," and "A Must-Have Cookbook." A range of cuisines with top recipes from Junior League of South Bend members and the local community were prepared in their homes and taste tested several times by other individuals.
Treasured past recipes were combined with modern conveniences. The charm of this cookbook (just over 300 pages) is captured in the simple, homestyle Midwestern recipes, many of which were handed down from generation to generation. More modern recipes complemented the collection in this cookbook. Sections include: hors d'oeuvres and appetizers; beverages; brunch and luncheon dishes; soups and sandwiches; breads; salads and salad dressings; poultry and game; fish and seafood; menus; beef and veal; lamb and pork; vegetable and side dishes; desserts; cakes; pies; cookies, candies and condiments; substitutions; metric and equivalents; acknowledgements; and an index.
Contributors of treasured vintage photographs include local community members, The Northern Indiana Historical Museum, and the Library of Congress. Midwest living near the 20th Century is depicted through sepia images and appropriate quotations that capture "unique warmth and spirit of Americana."

As communities are hit with more intense extreme weather, floods, and wildfires fueled by climate change, Congress must invest in solutions that build our nation's resilience.

Climate change is no longer tomorrow's problem. Communities across the country are already experiencing the consequences of climate change—from more intense and deadly heat waves to more powerful storms and devastating coastal flooding, droughts, and wildfires. The effects of climate change are also putting added pressure on our nation's aging and deteriorating infrastructure, which desperately needs upgrading to safeguard the health, prosperity, and well-being of communities across the country.
From 1901 to 2016, the global average temperature increased by about 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. This increase has triggered changes in the climate that have resulted in severe consequences for people and the planet, including warming and acidifying oceans, rising sea levels, shifts in precipitation patterns, loss of sea ice and glaciers, and more frequent and destructive extreme weather events. These changes not only threaten cities and rural areas, but they also harm the transportation, energy, and other infrastructure on which these areas rely to support local economies, businesses, and residents' daily lives. If the United States is unable to invest in solutions to build future-ready infrastructure, the cost to U.S. gross domestic product will be $3.9 trillion by 2025.
Congress has a responsibility to ensure that the nation's infrastructure is built to withstand climate change threats. It can do this by creating State Future Funds—federally supported revolving loan funds that support innovative and resilient transportation and energy infrastructure and flood protections in areas that need them the most, including low-income areas and communities of color.
Modeled on the highly successful Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund (DWSRF) and Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF), State Future Funds would provide low-interest or interest-free loans and loan guarantees, while leveraging philanthropic and private capital, to expand investments in renewable energy; residential and commercial energy efficiency improvements; regional transportation services; electric vehicle charging stations; and job training programs, among other critical future-ready investments. Similar to the Resilient Communities Revolving Loan Fund that Senate Democrats proposed in their 2018 "Jobs and Infrastructure Plan for America's Workers," State Future Funds would offer state leaders a forward-thinking and equitable approach to modernizing infrastructure that would support state economies and help communities prepare for the future.
While more extreme weather events threaten all U.S. residents, it hits hardest the communities that have historically been left behind—in particular, low-income communities and communities of color. In a world of growing inequities, it is not mere coincidence that families struggling to make ends meet are more likely to live and work in areas that have the highest levels of toxic pollution and are the most prone to flooding, heat waves, and other climate change effects. These communities are also the least resourced and able to prepare for future extreme weather. Congress must address the persistent and systemic racism embedded in federal housing policies as well as local planning and permitting decisions that have led to disproportionately greater environmental and public health risks in low-income areas and communities of color relative to white or wealthier neighborhoods. Congress can begin to tackle past inequities and unfair infrastructure practices by requiring that at least 50 percent of State Future Funds capital is invested in communities with the greatest need.
By building 21st century infrastructure that can withstand future extreme weather threats, State Future Funds would create good jobs and save taxpayers money. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, every $1 billion invested in modernizing infrastructure supports the creation of roughly 13,000 direct and indirect jobs for one year.
Risk management experts estimate that for every $1 invested in building resilient communities and infrastructure, $6 are saved in future costs—including the costs of economic disruptions, property damage, public health crises, and deaths that extreme weather disasters cause. In other words, a $1 billion investment in future-ready infrastructure would save taxpayers $6 billion in disaster damages.
Congress can help states begin to address their unmet resilient infrastructure needs by capitalizing State Future Funds with at least $25 billion dollars. To pay for this capitalization, Congress should work on bipartisan tax reform that prioritizes the workers, families, and communities facing the greatest challenges. Specifically, Congress should repeal and replace the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which gifted massive tax breaks to large corporations and the wealthiest Americans. By ending unfair tax loopholes, Congress can ensure that tax revenue is available to capitalize State Future Funds in every state.
To ensure that states are invested in their State Future Fund's success, Congress should also require that each state match federal dollars allocated to their fund by 20 percent—similar to what is required of states for their federally supported DWSRF and CWSRF.
To support meaningful stakeholder engagement and avoid political favoritism, Congress should structure State Future Funds to meet high governance and social equity standards. For example, Congress should require state policymakers to establish a fair and transparent project review process; metrics to meet social, environmental, and economic measures; and a strong investment plan informed by local government and community leaders' input. Congress should also require state leaders to establish diverse State Future Fund boards that have the expertise needed to ensure and support public accountability; effective fiscal oversight; meaningful community engagement; and innovative clean energy, transportation, and flood protection projects.
Furthermore, given the nation's affordable and workforce housing shortages, coupled with the rising cost of living in many communities, Congress should require that State Future Funds adopt project criteria to ensure that project developers work with local officials and community leaders to design and implement strategies to reduce the risk of displacing longtime residents from their communities as neighborhood improvements drive up rents. These strategies should include an expansion of affordable housing; more inclusionary zoning that breaks down long-standing structural barriers and allows for greater housing density; community land trusts to support locally owned housing and business assets; and job training programs to support access to good careers and jobs.
From wildfires in the West that have reduced entire towns to ash to coastal communities that are depending on seawalls and bulkheads as final bulwarks against encroaching seas, communities across the United States are being overwhelmed by the impacts of climate change. Current and future climate change effects demand immediate and effective action from state and local leaders to support resilient infrastructure and safeguard public health. Yet, as it stands, too many states and communities are ill-equipped to confront the dangerous consequences of climate change. By creating and investing in State Future Funds, Congress can help communities build resilience to the global warming effects that they are already feeling today as well as the even more daunting public health and economic threats that they are certain to face in the future.

"What a blessing, would a breeze be just now to us who sit in this heavy atmosphere! How gladly would we hail a gust from the breezy down, or a gale from the open sea! If the winds of earth are so refreshing, what must a wind from heaven be!" (Charles Spurgeon)
I'm fairly confident there would be multitudes on the earth right now (July, 2020), who would identify with the words of Spurgeon and who would gladly welcome a gust of fresh air from a breezy down, or a blast of ocean air that invigorates mind, soul and spirit.
I also think everyone would agree that this year has been like no other. History's pages are full of heartache, crisis and drama, yet it's been a rare phenomenon for the entire world to feel the collective effect of this current global pandemic and the aftermath thereof. Regardless of our individual view or vista — there is a world gasping for breath, gasping for reprieve, gasping for a new world, a new reality, a new freedom.
So, it feels like no mere coincidence that the language around our (postponed) July 2020 Hillsong Conference was "Breathe Again". At what would have been our 35th milestone year as a leadership conference, our hope (twelve months earlier when planning and projecting) was that the prophetic breath of God would be felt; that the Wind and Spirit of the Living God would refresh and inspire leaders and believers alike; and that together the Body of Christ would rise in greater strength and deeper anointing for the days that lie ahead. Now in retrospect, we know God's hand was guiding, because who could have foreseen a global virus that primarily attacks the breath in our lungs; who could have foreseen a world now masked and fearful to breathe the same air as the person alongside them; and most poignantly, who could have foreseen a world witnessing a long overdue awakening to racial inequality and oppression — an awakening that began with a fellow human being gasping and crying "I can't breathe, I can't breathe." If you have suffered loss of any kind in this collective season, our prayers are with you and our trust is that you will sense His goodness and presence leading and guiding you through.
So here we are friends.
Alive in turbulent times and in days that possibly feel unfamiliar and uncertain for many… yet we write these words to encourage and remind that God's divine will for this earth (and for you personally) remains steadfast. His Word remains, His promises remain, the Great Commission remains, and our prayer is that whilst 'daylight' remains, we also will remain steadfast.
Like many other events, this year's conference has been postponed to 2021, and we will just have to wait with patience to hear from the friends and guests who would have been flying into Sydney (and London) this month. In the meantime, we simply want to encourage you as one who has been a part of this beautiful leadership landscape. Browse through the invitation and allow the words to resonate again. Revisit the video trailer and feel the weightiness of the days. Allow yourself to be reminded of what the collective, diverse and beautiful Body of Christ feels like, and allow God to breathe afresh upon you.
We love you, we believe in you, and we find ourselves praying that His presence and promises will overshadow and sustain you. Until we gather again, and we find ourselves worshipping together and lifting His praises into the atmosphere — be blessed! The best is (surely) yet to come for those who honour and serve the risen King of Heaven — a King who is committed to bring all He has begun to a flourishing finish. (Philippians 1:6 MSG)
"Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man and say to it, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live." (Ezekiel 37:9 NIV)
With love and affection,
Brian and Bobbie Houston

The exact number of NBA teams that have come back from a 3-1 deficit? Irrelevant.
As a fan, I am innately superstitious. Faith and reason are forever at war. Momentum and the hot hand et cetera versus analytics et al. My answer on any given question can vary based on where any given game, season, may be at. I attempt to err on the side of reason. But sometimes ... sometimes the irrational insists and I wonder if this franchise has demons.
We've seen plenty of good medicine get pumped into our favorite team and watched the results sour while clinging to the underlying truth of the Ten Point Plan, of any plan; good process eventually gets good results. Now the Wizards are in the second round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
Good basketball is all about valuing each possession, but what player can look at Game 5 without thinking about Games 6 and 7 after blowing three games in a row? If the Wizards were sitting in front of you, dejected, gearing up for another game but you looked at them and knew 'down 3-1' was hung around their neck like the goddamn albatross, what would you say?
I'd probably say something like this:
Last season, mathematically eliminated, this team fought for the ninth seed and failed. That may seem pointless, unless you ask the right question: what do you gain when you ignore the crushing gravity of a phrase like 'mathematically eliminated'? The answer is simple. You fucking fly.
This is what you prepared for. The playoffs are pure. There is the next game or the drive home. There are no statistical averages because nothing exists but the next play. There is no charge/tipped pass/contest percentage board, 50/50 balls are a misnomer; every play is the strongest cocktail of honed discipline and furious energy you can offer your teammates. Everyone trusts you. Everyone has your back.
Don't forget where the series stands. Forget the what the word 'series' means. I don't want you to know what it means. If every play is about chasing perfection this team will achieve excellence. Because you have.
Whatever happens, you leave your guts out on that floor. The season ends for everybody and the mirror will be waiting. Chase perfection with the fucking magnificence you've already shown me and you won't flinch from the face staring back at you.
Winners know: win the last game of the season. IT'S ALWAYS THE LAST GAME OF THE SEASON.
If 'invest in failure' is a phrase to bank on, the Wizards have surely seen a return on that investment this postseason. Maybe they've invested enough this postseason that they rip off 11 straight on their way to the Larry O'Brien trophy. Maybe not.
But if they do? As a Wizards fan, I could never be too surprised, because I remember what matters most: impossible is nothing. Imagine the Wizards in front of you. What would you say?

It seems like SUVs are the next big thing all over again. Car makers like Ford and General Motors have been experiencing a resurgence in their SUV sales, which is likely due to lower gas prices, and now luxury car brands are also getting into the SUV game.
Nearly every luxury car maker has been at least designing an SUV, which includes Maserati, Lamborghini, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce. You might be rolling your eyes at a Lamborghini SUV, but it seems more likely now than ever. The company has a new Chairman that has headed up Fiat Chrysler and has already promised an increase in annual car production for Lambo.
When it was first rolled out, the Porsche Cayenne SUV was seen as a big and slow Porsche, but a decade later it has ended up being a smash hit. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is coming to the United States next year and will feature a twin-turbocharged 6.0 liter V12 engine with over 600 horsepower. The Mercedes SUV has a top speed of 143 miles per hour and can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds. A couple of the big problems with this SUV are that it only averages eight miles per gallon and it will cost you over $217 thousand to get one.
Bentley is also getting into the world of SUVs and has promised "the most exclusive, most luxurious and most expensive SUV in the world". Their SUV is said to cost $214 thousand and it already has a waiting list of 4,000 interested owners!
If you want to really get serious about a luxury SUV, a company called Becker Automotive Design has been transforming SUVs into mobile offices, with some including gyms, media centers, and even bathrooms. Many clients have opted to add bulletproof glass and an armored body so they feel more safe and secure.
Howard Becker, the company's CEO, says that New York is a very important hub for his business with all of the Wall Street executives who want to travel in style while still having functionality. The starting price for one of these SUVs is $160 thousand, with top of the line models going for half a million dollars. Previous clients for Becker include Ben Affleck, Johnny Depp, and even Michael Jackson. These luxury SUVs are in such high demand that there is currently a six month waiting list to get one!
Pretty soon almost every luxury car company will have their own SUV model which will cost just as much as some of their speedy sports cars. The SUV seems poised to give sports cars a run for their money as the vehicle of choice for the rich and famous.

Like many other industries, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) moves extremely fast. But where is the future of SEO going? What does an effective, organic strategy need to look like in the next few years?
While not too long ago, everybody was totally focused on keywords and backlinks (links from other websites), today we hear search and SEO more and more in the context of machine learning and artificial intelligence within a collection of hundreds of ranking factors. But there is much more!
However, before we dive deeper into where the search industry is heading (based on my point of view), I would like to make sure you, as a reader, can see Google through somewhat different eyes.
For marketing specialists, and in particular in the area of search marketing, Google plays a very special role—not only because of their market share (more than 92% in 2020) but also due to their incredible focus on user experience.
Google was the first company to focus on what's best for their users—after all, a happy user is going to come back for more.
This should be enough to shift our view of Google from the "evil giant" to a giant that aims, above all other things, to do what's best for their users.
Marketing is getting more and more automated: automatic bidding, programmatic marketing, tracking, email marketing automation, hyper-segmentation, cross-platform promotion.
All this is only possible due to vast amounts of data points big platforms have gathered about each and every internet user. Those masses of data then need to be analyzed so that algorithms can make sense of it, and leverage information for higher returns on investment.
Companies like Google, Facebook, or Amazon have more information stored about us than we can possibly imagine—and one of their main goals is to obtain even more.
The reasoning couldn't be clearer: the more information they have, the better they can get at making us happy. While "happy" could mean product suggestions on Amazon, for Google it refers to ads and organic search results.
Already today, search results are personalized based on your location, preferred websites, previous searches, and more. What a person sees in Sydney on many searches isn't going to be the same result someone would see in Melbourne.
A good example would be a search for "pizza delivery." Google would understand local search intent and would bring up results geographically near to the respective user. But personalization goes much deeper than that.
The massive amount of data requires machine learning tools to process and artificial intelligence in order to identify patterns that can then be fed back into the algorithm. Google "learns" with every single search.
On a given day, by the way, thousands of searches are being executed by users all over the world for the very first time. Google has never seen them before but will still try to "understand" the underlying search intent to serve a suitable result.
So, for your site's SEO, how could you beat Google's AI engine? The answer: with AI itself. From early on, machine learning tools have received a very special place in our toolbox: link research, content brief creation, content optimization. Wherever machine learning tools can be used in SEO, their results should definitely be considered for the ongoing optimization process.
If a search result isn't relevant for a user, they will hit their browser's back button and click on another Google result. Relevance can refer to design, layout, content structure, content length and depth, etc. and should always be a top priority in every SEO campaign— – stay relevant!
Users are only happy if they find their answer fast. The way search snippets are designed and the content they contain plays an important role, which is why Google sometimes decides to overwrite a page's title and so-called meta description in order to present a nicer result to search users.
Care about your search snippets as if they were your cat!
Nobody likes to wait for a page to load, especially on their mobile phones. As a result, site speed and mobile performance and usability are crucial elements for Google when determining the ranking a site deserves.
With users' patience levels decreasing and attention spans shortening, there is a demand for increased loading speeds, and consequently, search engines will be forced to insist more on a site's performance. This will especially be the case on the server-side, as 5G and similar technologies are very likely to reduce the effect of large images or videos that before might have been slowing down a page.
Google's success in providing high-quality search results, is largely based on their algorithm and how it interprets links from one website to another one, as a signal for authority.
With social media and other sources of data giving search engines more and more information, it is very likely that the effect links can have on a site's ranking might diminish over time.
Until then, focus on actively pursuing links from other websites to your homepage and your pillar articles!
One of the best ways to attract people's attention in marketing is through personalized communication.
Search engines are getting really good at personalizing search results, and with the growing number of data points of more and more people, it is to be expected that they will get even better in bringing us the right results in the right moment.
Already today, Google tries to come up with search results based on what they know about us, our calendar, and our movements between different places—even before we search for them.
Ever gotten into your car and Google Maps told you how long it would take you to get home? This is Google's personalization in action!
For search results, personalization will probably, at least in part, mean very personal search preferences.
- Some users might prefer longer and more in-depth articles as search results when they are at home and shorter summaries when browsing through their phone.
- Others will only use their phones to check their email, but whenever they search for products they will buy at Amazon, so Amazon might need to come up first for them on any of their transactional searches.
SEO is an important part of marketing, and personalization will definitely play a big part of marketing in the near future.
How many voice assistants do you have available in your day to day? Most of us might be used to calling Siri or Alexa, Google Assistant or Cortana, to help us with daily tasks, reminders, or to do some quick research.
The essential idea of a voice assistant is to get a question as an input and respond with an answer. This directly affects SEO because voice assistants will limit themselves to very few, if not only one possible answer.
The more we see personalized search results coming up, the higher the chances are that voice assistants rely on a search engine like Google to make sure the first result contains the best possible answer.
While now we generally have ten search results on page one of Google, in the future, it might just really be the first or maybe the first few results that count.
In any case, questions will (and have always been) an essential part of search. People have questions and want answers—fast.
If you have the best answer to your target audience's question, you are likely to do very well in SEO. Add consistency over time, and you're up for a long-term winner!
There is just one thing that Google likes more than making users happy to help them find the right website: make them happy finding the answer directly within Google.
More and more we see search elements popping up in search, like "People also asked" sections, featured snippets, carousels, maps, local search results, and knowledge panels.
All these blocks extract information from websites to answer user queries directly on the search result page, resulting in approximately 50% of searches not leading to a click through to a website.
Google has (and provides) all the necessary information.
The trend towards more and more search components has been clear over the last years. And while they provide a good way for sites to sneak their way into the first page with some specially marked-up answer, site owners will have to accept that Google is actually becoming their website's homepage, giving direct access to the different parts of information they consider relevant, and sometimes, providing the full answer directly within search results with no click going to the website itself.
Not all problems can be solved easily—not even by Google. While still trying to make their users happy, Google aims at finding a way to find out whether a site is trustworthy, has a certain authority in its niche, and whether the presented information comes from a source with expertise in their field.
This is especially true when it comes to so-called YMYL sites (Your Money, Your Life). YMYL refers to sites that have a direct impact on people's lives (health) and finances, thus directly impacting happiness..
There is just too much content being produced online to keep track, and it's getting harder and harder to determine which content really should be consumed when seeking advice, and which content has been written by a non-expert on a budget in 15 minutes by rewriting whatever could be found on the subject.
And there's more: with AI getting more and more ahead, in no time there will be commercial writing programs available, creating original content automatically with AI engines, based on a few parameters like topic, length, level of expertise, etc.
Those engines will feed themselves with thousands of similar texts to extract common patterns and produce articles on their own, in less time than it takes a copywriter to open their favorite editing app.
E-A-T stands for Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness, and has become a very important term on from 2018-2019 when Google added a section to their quality guidelines, asking quality raters at Google to check for relevant signals that might indicate whether the site and its author can be trusted.
Branding might just be one of the most important things you can do in order to make sure future algorithms can recognize the expertise you own in your field.
The future of SEO is definitely going to be based on artificial intelligence, enabling search engines to improve user experience through extremely high levels of personalization. The exponential growth of partly AI created content will require extra levels of analysis in order to select not only the best, but also the most trustworthy response to a user's search intent.

As a foundation for transgastric NOTES, we aimed to develop an easy and fast method to create and close a gastrotomy without the use of endoluminal suturing devices.
Four pigs, mean weight 36 kg, were used for this survival study. Pigs were anesthetized and received preoperative IV antibiotics. The stomach was endoscopically irrigated with saline, followed by 500 cc of 5% povidone-iodine. Then a sterile two channel endoscope was placed into the stomach.
A gastrotomy site was chosen in the corpus along the greater curvature. Using a suture passer, a suture was introduced through the abdominal wall into the gastric lumen and passed to the endoscopic grasper. The suture passer was pulled back and reintroduced trough the same skin incision, to grab and pull out the suture again, creating a 1 cm full thickness bite of the stomach. A second suture was placed in a similar manner 2-3 cm caudal to the first suture.
The stomach was punctured with the suture passer between the two sutures. A guidewire was introduced through the working channel of the endoscope and externalized with the suture passer. The gastric wall was stabilized with an endoscopic grasper next to the exit site of the guidewire and pulled back, while the floppy end of the guidewire was held externally at the abdominal wall. By further introducing the guidewire through the scope, it was forced to loop in the peritoneal cavity between the gastric and abdominal wall.
A balloon dilatator was advanced over the guidewire through the gastric wall and was inflated to 20mm to create a gastrotomy. The endoscope was advanced into the peritoneal cavity over the guidewire and a NOTES procedure was performed. At the end of the procedure, the transfacial sutures were tied to the abdominal wall. One to three additional sutures were used to approximate the gastrotomy edges. Necropsy was performed at two weeks.
Creation and closure of the gastrotomy was successfully performed in all animals. Mean time to create and to close the gastrotomy was 45 min (SD±16 min) and 20 min (SD±13min), respectively. At necropsy, no leaks were noted when the stomach was insufflated with air by endoscopy. In one pig, a 1 cm abscess was found at the gastrotomy site.
This animal study shows the feasibility and safety of a new method to create and close a gastrotomy for NOTES without endoscopic closure devices.

Theory protects from "personal intuitions and culturally biased folk theories."
Cathleen O'Grady – 2/16/2019, 11:00 AM
A jumbled jigsaw puzzle, AKA the state of theory in the behavioral sciences.
A replication crisis has called into question results from behavioral (and other) sciences. Complaints have focused on poor statistical methods, the burying of negative results, and other "questionable research practices" that undermine the quality of individual studies.
But methods are only part of the problem, as Michael Muthukrishna and Joseph Henrich argue in a paper in Nature Human Behaviour this week. It's not just that individual puzzle pieces are low in quality; it's also that there's not enough effort to fit those pieces into a coherent picture. "Without an overarching theoretical framework," write Muthukrishna and Henrich, "empirical programs spawn and grow from personal intuitions and culturally biased folk theories."
Doing research in a way that emphasizes joining the dots constrains the questions you can ask in your research, says Muthukrishna. Without a theoretical framework, "the number of questions that you can ask is infinite." This makes for a scattered, disconnected body of research. It also feeds into the statistical problems that are widely considered the source of the replication crisis. Having too many questions leads to a large number of small experiments—and the researchers doing them don't always lay out a strong hypothesis and its predictions before they start gathering data.
This isn't the first time someone's argued that better theory makes for better science. It's a conversation that's been going on for some time among the people agitating for more robust research. But this is a particularly loud klaxon, in one of the biggest journals in the field, meaning that it might make people sit up and take notice—and possibly start some concrete initiatives to improve theory at the same time as current attempts being made to improve statistical rigor.
Theories about theory
Paul Smaldino, a cognitive scientist who has also been vocal about the need for better theory, points to an infamous psychology paper as a perfect example of what happens when experimental work is divorced from theoretical scientific frameworks. The paper, published in 2011, reported finding evidence of precognition. But that, says Smaldino, "is not a psychology finding. That's a physics finding. That is everything we know about the laws of physics and causality and how time works, all being wrong."
The problem with the paper wasn't just that the methods were bad, he argues, but also that "theory [in psychology] is so weak that something that completely contradicts hundreds of years of science was evaluated without that context."
Science, he explains, is about accumulating sets of observations that occur reliably—the Sun appears at different places in the sky depending on the season and time of day; finches have different shaped beaks depending on what they eat. "That's the raw ingredients," he says. "To make sense of it requires a framework to say, this is how all these different facts fit together, and this is why." We explain these observations by developing theoretical models—of how the Earth rotates around the Sun on a tilted axis, of natural selection.
Having a good theoretical framework makes it possible to make sense of sets of disconnected facts, and to explain why things happen sometimes and not at other times. Perhaps most importantly, it allows for predictions of what will be found in the data: if our model of human evolution is true, we could predict that we should find huge similarities in the genomes of humans and other great apes—and that's exactly what we do find. If we made a prediction like this and found it to be false—say, our genomes turned out to be more similar to birds than to other great apes—it would undermine the theoretical framework.
Doing scientific research within a theoretical framework can help to highlight results that are surprising—like finding precognition—and that might therefore need a closer look and plenty of replications to test whether the finding holds up. By drawing connections between behavioral science findings and findings across other fields, "overarching theoretical frameworks pave the way toward a more general theory of human behavior," write Muthukrishna and Henrich.
More math for the behavioral sciences
Part of what Muthukrishna and Henrich are advocating is a greater use of formal models—a way of setting down ideas about something in cold, hard math. For instance, you might think that, when children are learning whether it's "toh-may-toe" or "toh-mah-toe" (or many of the other myriad arbitrary cultural variants that humans swim in), they'll copy the majority of speakers they hear around them.

it does'nt matter that you are in MI.it is a raffle for anybody,anywhere:)
I love the pictures you posted on the Awkward Sleeper group. You might also like the Honorary Corgi group.
Love the new pictures. The one looking threw the fence is adorable. Ella is growing so cute. Those eyes look right at you. Bet she is giving you lots of fun days.
Thanks! Ella is adorable, too! She and my Lucy were born only 11 days apart.
thanks! i got soo lucky with him. i was originally supposed to get his brother bc finnick had/has some slight health concerns, but after visiting the litter it was clear he was the cutest and smartest one. ive been around lots of breeds, but corgis are truly one of a kind, and really amazing dogs! they are incredibly smart and fast learning. only other breed ive been around thats as smart is german shepard.
Hi Cindy, It is nice to see someone else from Michigan and owning a German Shepherd ain't bad either :-)
Kipper loves the water. He also loves his life vest, when he has it on he will jump into the pool, without it he runs to the stairs and slowly gets in. It's the only thing I put on him that he'll actually move in. Took him about a week to get used to it. I also had to teach him how to use a pool. =]
Thanks for the compliment on Grace. We think she is a beautiful girl too!

- Netflix announced a series of new parental controls features for its streaming service on Tuesday.
- Parents now have the ability to remove individual shows and movies from a Netflix profile so that they won't appear in any of the suggested lists or search results.
- Auto play of episodes can also finally be turned off in kids profiles.
- Visit BGR's homepage for more stories.
As the novel coronavirus outbreak forces millions of us to stay inside, streaming service usage has skyrocketed. We have so much time on our hands to watch shows and movies, as do the countless children staying home from school until the virus has been contained. But now that your kids are likely parked in front of the TV for hours every day, it's more important than ever to monitor what they watch, especially if you're in another room trying to get some work done. As such, Netflix's latest parental control features couldn't have come at a better time.
The most noteworthy addition is the ability to use the country's rating system to filter out content you don't want your child to see. If you do not want anything geared toward adults to show up on a profile, just choose to block all R-rated content. You can also remove individual shows or movies by title. If you don't want your kids to stumble upon Narcos, but would rather not block everything with a similar rating, you can choose to make sure that individual series will not appear on that profile. If you are willing to take the time to sift through Netflix's huge library, you can tailor a profile to only feature content that you're comfortable with your kid watching.
Here are some of the other features that Netflix added to its streaming service for parents this week:
- PIN protect individual profiles to prevent kids using them
- Easily review each profile's setting using the "Profile and Parental Controls" hub within account settings
- See what their kids have been watching within the profile created for them
- Turn off auto play of episodes in kids profiles
"Everyone can now add these new, improved controls to their profile by going to account settings on our mobile or laptop," explained Michelle Parsons, Kids Product Manager at Netflix, in a blog post today on the company's website. "Choice and control have always been important for our members, especially parents. We hope that these additional controls will help parents make the right choices for their families."
With in-person classes likely over in many states for the remainder of the school year, parents are going all of the help that they can get to keep their children safe and entertained. With these new features, parents can at least feel a little better about leaving their kids in charge of the remote for a few hours.

I don't think so. Rather, I think this is as much wishful thinking, which he does from time to time, in my opinion.
OK, here's the skinny.
There's three currencies, two of them state-backed, that have the possibility. None of them will become an official, or even a strongly quasi-official, world reserve currency before 2040.
First, referencing those countries above, is the Euro.
From my understanding of the EU, this could only happen officially by vote of all EU members who use the euro. That's less likely in the next 20 years than herding cats successfully.
Second, the yuan. Nope. That would require it to be depegged from the dollar. Anybody who thinks that happens in the next 20 years, thinks Trump is a free-trader.
Besides, China is doing better, per N+One, halfway down or so, with the Asian Infrastructure Development Bank giving it leverage against the World Bank.
The third is the non-state collection of electronic ledgers known as crypotocurrency.
That ain't happening, either.
The way most bitcoin systems are structured, none individually are elastic enough to get anywhere near that big even as unofficial reserve currency.
Collectively? Dude, these are libertarian wet dreams. No chance they unite into one massive megacoin.
And, as an official reserve currency? It's part of their duty as nation-states for their governments to crush bitcoin precisely because it's stateless.
File 13 this idea, Michael.
If you were engaging in sardonic humor about Trump being a deliberate wrecker of the dollar as a reserve currency, it really didn't come off that way.
And, while you're at it, File 13 your love for Modern Monetary Theory. Go read some Doug Henwood on that. (I'm eventually going to have to do a separate piece on this.)
Doug's piece is actually very interesting. I didn't know that Hudson is NOT the No. 1 touter of MMT at Missouri-Kansas City, which Henwood calls the Vatican of MMT. I also didn't know that Yves Smith of Naked Capitalism is a fangirl.
In usual Henwood style, Doug can be scathing. (He can be when he's wrong, as well.):
MMTers extend this hubris about the precision and power of policymaking to the realm of interest rates, which they think the central bank is completely in control of and should be kept as close to zero as possible.That right there is silly. I don't need Doug to tell me that:
Without higher interest rates to compensate for greater default risk or longer maturities, there will simply be no one willing to buy the bonds or issue the loans.The MMTers answer is for the Fed to be the purchaser of last resort.
Gee, isn't that something quite similar to Quantitative Easing?
Otherwise, Doug's even better further in, when he criticizes the MMTers for being lackadaisical about inflation.
Then, tying this back to Hudson's thoughts on reserve currencies, Henwood notes other nations don't have the same degree of currency-printing freedom as does the US.
Henwood then notes that a jobs guarantee program is in no way dependent on MMT.
One last thought, per Henwood: If Stephanie Kelton truly believes that just following MMT will solve climate change, she's either a tremendous idiot or an incredible liar.
See more MMT refudiation here.
And, stuff like this on Twitter is laughable.
MMT is first and foremost just a description of how our monetary system works. So, in order to rein in FIRE it's good to know how our monetary system works— Kathryn Cannon (@katiecannon2) February 27, 2019
Geez. Back at you.
No #MMT is not "first and foremost just a description of how our monetary system works." It is not even second or third "just a description of how our monetary system works." We are getting into #Maoist Little Red Book territory, I do think. Bye!— ATrealDonaldTrump 🚩🌻 (@AFCC_Esq) February 27, 2019
And, that's that.

I was recently the featured speaker at a symposium for women aimed at helping women transition through various stages of their life. Specifically as relates to divorce, entering/exiting the work force, dealing with loss, etc. While the founder's of the organization happen to be friends of mine, what better individual to discuss transitions in a woman's life? I mean, HELLO, an obgyn transitions with women throughout every phase of her life, from menarche(when a woman first gets her period) to menopause.
The discussion centered around questions that women are embarrassed to ask their obgyns. While one might think this would be pretty routine for me, it actually proved to be a bit more difficult than I thought. Why? Because I'm Dr. Angela and most of my patients and lots of women ALL over the world ask me questions on a daily basis. There is no embarrassment. Not even a hint of it.
So. I decided to take another approach. How about your friend. I mean, we all have friends that have questions that they are too ashamed to ask. Here are the top questions I was able to come up with.
- Is vaginal discharge normal?
I love this question. Discharge is like the new milk. Got Discharge? Of course you do. We all do. Everyone has it, yet no one talks about it. Here's the scoop on discharge, as long as it doesn't itch, burn, or smell bad; it's probably fine. You will find that the amount of discharge you have will vary in amount as well as consistency depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle. Trust me. You'll miss it when it's gone.
2. One of my breasts are larger than the other. Is this normal?
A resounding YES! There are so many variants of normal that I've frankly lost count. You'd be pressed to find any woman with two breasts that match exactly.
3. One of my labia is larger than the other. Is this normal?
As with the breast, the same applies here. YES! One of the reasons it is so important to bring young girls to a meet and greet with their ob/gyn between the ages of 13 and 15 is so that a discussion can be had about anatomy, and what's considered normal/abnormal. Knowledge is power. Self love and acceptance begins at a very early age. Learning early on about the magnificence and beauty of the female body would certainly help to alleviate issues with body image and self consciousness that often affect our youth and women in general, regardless of age.
4. Is sex supposed to hurt?
I see so many women suffering through sex because they feel like they are supposed to as part of their "wifely" or "partner" duties. Girl, you better recognize! Recognize that sex is supposed to be fun, pleasurable, hot, something you'd want and expect to see when viewing SEX FREE HD and so on and so forth. If sex is painful for you there needs to be an investigation as to why. If you aren't lubricating enough, Astroglide certainly has you covered in that department with a lube for every occasion.
Perhaps something else is going on like vaginitis? Vaginitis, whether it be yeast or bacterial vaginosis, are common infections that can cause painful sex. Certainly, other sorts of infections such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, etc, could be ruled out if you are at risk. For some women, sex is excruciating and many of them find that anal sex if far more pleasurable. Sites like Anal Dating make it easier for women to find suitable partners if they don't have one already, and they can still be pleasured whilst they find a solution to their vaginal problems.
There could also be underlying issues such as endometriosis. Lots of folks ignore common signs of endometriosis. Painful sex is one of them. Be sure to touch base with your obgyn to ensure that all is well.
5. How do you do a breast exam?
I promise. You are probably doing it right and don't even know it. I commonly hear, "I don't know what I'm feeling or looking for." "My breasts feel lumpy all over and all the time." In all seriousness, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends something called Breast Awareness. What that means, is YOU knowing what your breasts normally look and feel like. Look at your breasts. Feel your breasts. Don't be embarrassed. They are yours! The key is being able to notice anything that is outside of your norm. I typically recommend feeling/touching/squeezing your breasts a week or so after you've had your period, that way, your breasts won't be as tender or fibrocystic(lumpy-bumpy). Both of which are common around the time of your period. And since we're on the topic, mammograms start at the age of 40. There is no medical need for a baseline mammogram. The only way a mammogram is typically done earlier than forty would be if something was noted on exam; i.e., you felt a lump, or if you had a first degree relative with a history of breast cancer. The recommendation would then be 10 years prior to the age the affected relative was diagnosed.
6. My vagina smells. Is this normal?
Mind you, vaginas are supposed to smell like vaginas, not bouquets, floral gardens, candy, etc. Having said such, if your vagina truly does smell foul, that might warrant a bit of a workup by your friendly obgyn. Bacterial vaginosis is a common culprit and is primarily caused by a shift in your vaginal pH.
The vagina prefers to be acidic and with bacterial vaginosis, due to an overgrowth of certain bacterias in the vagina, the pH becomes basic, and causes an amine, or fish-like odor. There are other types of infections that could also cause the vagina to smell other than vagina-like. These to can be ruled out by your obgyn.
Whether it's related to your vagina, breasts, discharge, sex, or your health in general. If you've got questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to your obgyn. Or, remember, if you ask, I'll definitely tell.

Everyone loves online slots and with เว็บเดิมพัน sagame66 it even more interesting. They are definitely the biggest assumes when it comes to cash flow from players, they are bright, colorful, full of noise, and give the prize to change your life forever. As your online slot machines are very important, no one would spend hundreds of dollars on a slot machine where you can win the maximum you want is to hold nothing more than a hundred dollars. It is always best progressive online slots play, they have slots, huge prize money usually have a few million dollars and you know what? You can win, who with just one spin of the reels and won most of the winners bear this out.
Progressive jackpots can use a variety of online casinos, where the software from one of the most important and major online casino software providers is made available to be found. In this way, the casinos gain more income from more players and are therefore able to offer much larger prizes. The exact nature of the online slot is up to you, it is your personal taste, the count in the decision had already been the smart choice for the election of a progressive online slot on your next port of call is that you desire and after mood when you're skint then try Free spins slots.
This is a very basic step and goes back to when you were born, you were a boy would make your parents blue dress, a girl, then rose through the mail from your grandmother would be huh; Ufen. It is exactly the same in relation to online slots, so no decent man would want to play Barbie games and see the majority of women would not be sat at their PC games of slots version of Alien Versus Predator 3.
If you've chosen the best looking game for your needs, then decided that patience comes into play. Go all out and stick as much money as quickly as possible, increase your blood pressure and result in you always get bored very quickly. It is good to do some homework to find out exactly what is going on in the machine and what is the best way to get to the jackpot, it may be that you only have to click the mouse button intensively before achieving something but it is worth checking anyway.
Do not expect the jackpot in the first hours of play to win, to limit the establishment of money to play with every week, maybe even one or two dollars a day with him and keep the games can go by very quickly, but you will soon reap rewards. It is well known that the machines are fixed to pay a certain percentage but you can use this to your advantage.
When depositing $ 10 into a slot you could almost guarantee that you win $ 2 with him, there, if you have $ 9 in the pot or the last one was 25c, is something that no one is able to provide you with will tell, but should you win more with your first $ 10 and increase your pot to $ 22, what then? Your first reaction is that the slot machine is the payout and learn to win. Wrong.
This is an important point, not because you won something, but, that increases your original bet. Leave it for the day. Do not go back and have another try tomorrow, and then play $ 5 Win or lose your pot is still great as when you started. Go to start and could be in small increments and the rewards of great benefit. A very good choice for this would be the One Club Casino. In London, UK There is a saying: A little bit will ya do. Catch My Drift?

Clidastes mosasaurs were the smallest in size of the three major groups of mosasaurs found in the Western Interior Sea during the deposition of the Smoky Hill Chalk and are among the most primitive of the known mosasaurs. Maximum length was about 4 meters in the chalk and slightly larger in the Pierre Shale. Clidastes was much more common along the Gulf Coast than in the Western Interior Sea.
Clidastes liodontus is found in the lower section of the chalk (late Coniacian) and may actually be one of the first mosasaurs to enter the seaway (see Martin and Stewart, 1977) during the Turonian. Clidastes propython, however, arrived much later and is only found in the upper sections of the chalk. According to Williston and others, it may have preferred to live much closer to shore and thus would not be well represented in the mid-ocean area where the chalk was deposited.
This specimen was collected from Logan County in the Zone of Hesperornis (Stewart, 1990), 3 m above Hattin's (1982) Marker Unit 22 (early Campanian). It consists of most of the skull and about 25 vertebrae. Some of the specimen had eroded out before being discovered and was weathered into many fragments. Other parts were recovered in situ. The specimen has been donated to the Sternberg Museum of Natural History

Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, has secured an initial 10-year contract with University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH) to be its Digital Transformation Partner and broadening its client base within the health services sector as a result.
Under the agreement Atos will deliver IT outsourcing (ITO) and enhance the unified Information and Communications Technology (ICT) service model to fully support the UCLH mission to deliver high quality patient care, excellent education and world-class research.
The deal signals a further move into the health services sector by Atos and will see the company as the primary ICT contractor and systems integrator for UCLH's foundation and transformation services under a managed service agreement.
This includes end-user technology, service desk, application management, private cloud data centre services, information security and SIAM services. The digital transformation component will include architecture and data services.
The partnership centres on a renewed operational model with UCLH as the 'Intelligent Customer' working with Atos to manage its ICT services and to provide a step change in the quality of service provision to users while also delivering savings. A key objective is to improve service quality and delivery using innovative technologies that support the UCLH strategic objectives and transformation agenda.
Atos UK&I Senior Vice president for Health and Public Sector, Philip Chalmers, said: "We are looking forward to helping UCLH in its mission to deliver high-quality patient care. We will work together to transform services so that they meet the demands of patients and staff.

Sending his demo all the way from Columbia, South America is guitar player and composer Victor Taboada. The seven song instrumental CD-R, entitled Atardecer (sunset in English), is a mixture of styles from jazz/fusion (his specialty) and rock, with some Baroque sonorities and Latin rhythms. Taboada is a fluid fusion player, from the Larry Carlton school, blended with some George Benson and a touch of Holdsworth, when he 'goes legato'. He's a skilled enough player that he probably should begin seeking out other hot fusion players in his area who can work with him to create some incredible music. Fusion fans tend to seek out music that has two, three or even four top-notch musicians on it, so collaboration would seem to be the next logical step.
Victor, a 28-year-old guitarist from Bogota, Columbia, began by teaching himself guitar before entering the Philharmonic School in Bogota, studying music theory and classical guitar with Dennis Lopez. He has also studied jazz, modern harmony, and flamenco (in Spain). In December, 2002 he was invited to the XX International Festival Habana Jazz Plaza (in Cuba), where the internationally known group Irankere performed his piece "Vuelo de Mariposas". In 2004, he formed the Victor Taboada Trio, a Latin jazz fusion band which has performed live, on Columbian TV, and at the Festival U-Jazz 2004, where they were awarded the Golden Sax for Improvisation and Best Arrangement for "Delerio".
Taboada recorded his demo in a home studio, with assistance from his brother, Dionisio Taboada, and Carlos Rojas.

My composer Beethoven was born in Bonn,Germany during the year 1770. HIS mom was Marl Magdalene and father Johann van Beethoven. Beethoven was first learning from his dad, who was a tenor. Beethoven's father was very mad, angry, and aggressive. He also drank a lot. He did not share Beethoven's love for music and did not support him. As Beethoven got older he began to study and performed very well. After that he started to become the best of his brothers and sisters. But soon after his family started to become very poor because of his fathers very bad alcoholic robber.
When Beethoven reached the age of 11 he left school and became a co- organist. Later than in 1783 he became the organ player for the Bonn opera. In 1787 Beethoven was taken to Vienna to excel his career and learn from Mozart. Than soon sent back because of the death of his mother. Accepting his mothers death he started to learn how to play the viola in an Orchestra during the year 1789. Soon after that he moved to Vienna permanently. In 1795 he started to compose his first music. His music was mostly for the piano. The pieces he wrote during this time were Symphony #1 In C (sass).

Moonlight Sonata In C# (1801), which was his first most famous piece which started to popularize him. 1802 was a very sad year for Beethoven because he learned that he would become deaf so he suffered severe depression. His ability to compose was not affected by his deafness. But he could no longer teach and perform. Rumor has it that he became death because he poured cold water over his hair while composing to freshen himself. Followed by not washing and drying his mass amounts of hair. In 1813 Beethoven was completely death and imposed at least 15 pieces of music. His life began to become more hectic and he created less music.
He also started to become more aggressive. In 1814 Beethoven had composed at least 9 symphony's. He has created the most symphony's out of any other man In the world. In 1814 he also did his last performance on the piano. Than in the year 1820-1824 he came and created more music but did not perform them music he had created were very famous Ode to Joy. Beethoven than died In 1827. My favorite piece of Beethoven is Symphony #9 in D minor reasons why I like this is cause it sounds very nice and I like to listen to it when ever IM angry at something and it calms me down.
It was completed in 1824 it is one of the best known pieces of the Western Classics. Also considered one Beethoven's best pieces. It was also the first major examples of using voices in a symphony. The first time it was played on May 7th, 1824 in the Characterization in Vienna. Instruments required to play this song are 2 flutes, 2 Oboes, 2 Clarinets, 2 Bassoons, Contrabass, 2 Horns, 2 Trumpets, 3 Trombones, Timpani, Bass Drum, Triangle, Cymbals, Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone, Violins 1st and CNN Violas, Violoncellos, Double Basses.

Storefront Challenge Fundraiser - Help us enliven Central Ave., Occupy the unoccupied, and have a ton of fun!
We look forward to see you and re-connecting with the NE community at this event. We are looking to build excitement, awareness and help to finance our upcoming Store Front Challenge. This project will pair community members with a local artist to transform an empty storefront along Central Ave. into something new and beautiful/intriguing/beguiling/or...?! for a week. Then a different group of community members working with a different artist are challenged to create a performance in, and in reaction to, the transformed space. Then, of course, the public is invited to experience the space and enjoy the performance. The first Store Front Challenge will be in this space at 2522 Central Ave. in February 2015 with other Challenges to follow in other empty storefronts along Central Avenue.
We hope you'll join us on Thursday, December 4th to learn more about it and have a ton of fun. Thanks!
