Got word last night and sadly confirmed that Steve Chase, 54, owner of La Conte's Clone Bar and Dispensary, died of a heart attack January 27. An employee I spoke with said the shop was mourning his loss, but added they plan to stay open.
Moreover, the staffer added that La Conte's will maintain Chase's approach of offering blue-collar Coloradans with top-shelf herb at blue-collar prices. I hope so, because they were one of the few shops I've been to recently that I saw make a real effort to put price-conscious patients first.
Chase was a relative newcomer to the medical marijuana world after years in the car-wash industry -- and one employee quoted members of Chase's family as saying the last six months at La Conte's were the happiest of his life. I had the chance to visit with Chase on several occasions during and after my review, and I was always impressed by his take on the industry as well as his love for the people he was serving. I only wish more dispensary owners were as excited to talk about the their shop, their products and the industry as a whole as he was.

What does it mean to be Christ like
Let's take a look at the Word Christian and see what it might mean. The word Christian means to be Christ like. Now, the question
is how does a person become like Christ? Would that not be impossible given that Christ was sin free and had never sinned?
Many have tried to live up to the lifestyle of Christ and have found this to be impossible. We, as humans, cannot live a
sin free life. We, as believers, must know that it is only through him that we can become anything and it is through his blood
that we are free of sin. It is not by anything you or I can do.
Let's take a look at the things that Jesus did while He was here on earth. What did He do? Where did He go? From what
we know of Christ, everywhere He went, he was healing the sick and helping those that were down and out. He purposefully
sought out those that no one was willing to touch, to talk to or wanted to help. He was about his fathers business in all
that He did. He was a helper, He was a healer, and He was a miracle worker. He was filled with compassion and He loved the
people. It did not matter what walk of life they were or for that matter what they had done in the past He just loved them
all. Now that is what Christ was like.
The question is, are we Christ like? He was sent here on this earth to set an example for mankind. He taught us how to
let the spirit of God to flow through humanity. He taught the word, He lived the word and He was the word. Far too many have
placed all of their focus on being like Jesus as far as holiness and righteousness and not enough on doing the works that
He told us to do. Many are setting and doing nothing as far as the work of the Lord.
What did the angels say when the Lord went up in the clouds? They asked this question,why stand you here gazing? It
is not about looking up at the clouds watching for Him or His returning. We need to be busy working while there is light.
Setting inside the church walls and waiting for His return is not what He told us to do. He said go out to the world and teaches
that the Kingdom of God is at hand. He told us in the Bible that greater works will you do than these for I go to my father.
I hope that you see a little clearer the meaning of being Christ like. I have this last question, are we going to get busy
doing the work of the Lord to reach out to the lost and the dying or are we going to spend the rest of our lives trying to
be so holy? If you or I have any holiness it is His holiness and not ours. The Bible makes it clear that our righteousness
is as fitly rags. Waste no more time on yourself and give all your time to the work of the Lord. That is true meaning of being
Christ like. For you see, to be a Christian, you must be willing, ready and happy to do the will of the father.

We know that when you start a design project, either on your own or with a professional, the options can be overwhelming. The team at AWD is all about helping you streamline and determine which direction is best for your lifestyle. But what about their faves? We sat down with Keri Feeney to learn about her five favorite design elements - and why custom is key!
1. Decorative Mirrors - I love decorative mirrors! Hands down, the best way to bring more light into a dark or small space. Get design credit by adding an artistic frame.
2. Lighting, lighting, lighting – There is so much that can be done with lighting. My absolute favorite way to quickly transform a room is with beautiful light fixtures, whether mounted to the ceiling, wall or placed on the floor or a table. It's the one quick way to get an instant lift. I also love how lighting can create a scene and a mood - that's why we always recommend Phillips hue lighting - you can change the tone to set a mood, automate your timing and activity, and really create a scene in your own home with the touch of your personal device. Genius!
3. Wall treatments – Whether paper, silk, wood paneling, tile, or fun paint applications, walls can become a room feature simply by highlighting them. It's so simple, yet so often forgotten.
4. Custom Built-In Cabinetry – The key word here is CUSTOM! You can turn a plain wall into a work of art by adding built-ins with lighting, wallpaper-lined backs, mixed materials…you name it, it can be done - and be one of a kind. Take a look at the effect this custom cabinetry had on this entryway below - now that is a before and after!
5. Large Format Tile – Dramatic floors are such a trend. Adding larger-sized tiles can really transform a space and give it a contemporary look. When you install this with a zero grout line, the result is a luxurious, clean feel.
We're sold! How about you? We love hearing from you. What are the design elements you can't live without?

Parents have a legal duty to ensure that their child receives a suitable education, therefore, when a child is on roll at a school, the parent has a legal duty to ensure that their child attends regularly, on time and in a state ready to learn.
Absences from school that are not authorised, including holidays in term time, may result in either a fine or a prosecution in a Magistrates court. Please click here to learn more about school attendance.
Absence from school
There will be occasions on which your child will be absent from school. It is extremely important that you inform the school of the dates of absence and the reasons for the absence. Any absence for which there is no notification of reason from an adult with parental responsibility will be classified as unauthorised.
Please contact the school before 9:30am on
01262 673975
and press option 1
Term Time Holidays
There is a proven link between children's attainment and the amount of time that they spend in school and the East Riding Council has identified that children being removed from school during term time is becoming a real issue for schools in our area. Consequently the council recently issued revised guidelines limiting head teachers' discretion to authorise additional holidays.
You are required under the Education Act (1996) to ensure your child attends school regularly. Head teachers are no longer able to grant leave of absence during term time unless there are exceptional circumstances.
For your request for your child's absence from school to be authorised, it must fall into one of the following categories-
- Service personnel returning from a tour of duty abroad where it is evidenced the individual will not be in receipt of any leave in the near future that coincides with school holidays
- Where an absence from school is recommended by a health professional as part of a parent or child's rehabilitation from a medical or emotional issue.
- The death or terminal illness of a person close to the family.
- To attend a wedding or funeral of a close member of the family that is taking place out of the area (this reason would normally be limited to a day or two).
Where there are exceptional and unforeseen circumstances that fall outside of 1 to 4 above, the Head teacher will consult with the principal Education Welfare Officer.
Evidence is required in each case.

Telepresence A Must for the Virtual Worker
I already passed along some tips for making conference calls more productive and pleasant using telepresence… so I thought I'd share with you an example of the successful video conference call in action.
In a recent Wall Street Journal article, Sarah Max reported on CUNA Mutual Group, a financial services provider with an 80-person sales force spread throughout the country—and in large part working remotely. CUNA relies on video technology for regular meetings, including their annual cocktail reception. Employees enjoy drinks and refreshments they provide for themselves at home, but through video still interact and get to know each other personally. No uncomfortable heels or last-minute shoe shines required in order to impress!
The CUNA sales team's close video-supported connection, despite their far-flung locations, can characterize any professional collaboration, no matter how much distance separates the workers. With technology like telepresence, any number of people can connect face-to-face at any time. They can share ideas, concerns, documents, presentations, and data in any format to ensure all necessary details come across. Telepresence's in-person communication builds community and ensures virtual workers have just as much presence (no pun intended) as people in the office, which can be a challenge with remote workers, Max reports.
So there you have it—proof positive that the telepresence-based conference call, and overall work relationship, stands to improve business and quality of life. It enables effective telework; saves time by keeping workers on task, as Max notes in her article; and, diverts spending money from cocktail attire to your wallet. I can hear my undergrad econ professor saying "that's an increase in real income".
Are you a telepresence-enabled teleworker? How has it changed your life?

Its good to know that some companies really made an effort to improve and innovate communication approach in the workforce. This idea somehow breaks the barrier and develop a good working relationship between distant co employees or co workers in the company.

Did you ever think about your vehicle windscreen as a high tech, sensitive product? It might be worth rethinking. Learn how CargoBeacon can help you take control and streamline the logistics chain. Less damage – less costs.
High-tech glass worth monitoring
A challenge for the automotive industry is the management of windscreens. They are expensive, they are heavy, they are part of the car's safety and they are fragile. When they are delivered with some kind of damage, it immediately causes problems. In some cases there is an end customer who left the car to the workshop and planned a change of windshield which will be cancelled at short notice. When assembled in the factory, the windshield is often an ordered item, adapted for a specific car, which imposes security stocks in order not to disturb production. Since the product is generally handled with trucks and cranes and occasionally located on warehouse without supervision, it is difficult to understand when the damage occurred with liability always falling on vehicle manufacturer.
By installing CargoBeacon together with the supplier of windscreens, you can immediately benefit from several advantages. From producers of car glass, deliveries are normally handled using racks where several windscreens are placed in row, inside the rack, where they are well protected from smaller accidents caused by fork-lifts but relatively unprotected from above. As they are placed in a row it is particularly difficult to get an overview of Windscreens that are in the middle of the rack as they are being obscured by windscreens on the sides of it.
By attaching CargoBeacon loggers to individual windscreens, the condition for all individual windscreens in a rack or in storage can be ensured by the glimpse of an eye. The information is made available on portable devices in real time and on the portal from which data is exported to an external control panel and, in the long run, also visualised in the company's material planning system. For logistic flows where windshields are delivered to brand workshops, CargoBeacon helped out to setup a return logistics program for used loggers. For windscreens delivered to the factory internal processes ensure that used loggers gets back to the windscreen supplier again.
What is in it for you?
Mainly by adjusting thresholds for shock and temperature late detection of broken windscreens has in principle ceased. In cases where damage occurred, the responsible party has easily been found, new orders have been made and damaged goods have been handled through normal procedures of claims, repair and/or disposal. In conjunction with the commissioning of CargoBeacon and the months after, a number of process improvements were made which reduced the number of damages to the extent that Return of investment in CargoBeacon was expected after in 12 months. In addition, the brand stores are more satisfied as they can, to a greater extent than before, rely on delivered windscreens to be delivered as expected, without damage.
Even if you have not been affected by a work shop cancelling your time slot on short notice due to broken goods you might have come across similar challenges, where products are found to be defective at a very bad time.
Maybe there is something we can help out with? Just get in touch and let's discuss!

A dog may be a man's best friend, but this list contains animals of various genders and species that may not have all crossed your mind as life savours. However, that is exactly what they did, and you have to read it to believe it, and more than that, appreciate these heroes for their remarkable feats of courage and selflessness. Here is 10 reasons you should appreciate all animals.
10 Cat saves couple from gas leak
In October 2007, around 2:00 am, Trudy and Greg Guy were sleeping in their bedroom, when their then-kitten Schnautzie woke them up by tapping on Trudy's nose with her paw. At first, Trudy dismissed the tapping as a sign that the kitten wanted to play, but when the tapping continued, she realized something was not right. Schnautzie's little nose sniffing the air caused Trudy to wake her husband Greg who realized that a gas pipe had broken and was flooding their basement with dangerous fumes. The family evacuated the house and called for help, and good thing they did! The firefighters later revealed that if Schnautzie had not woken them up, the furnace heater would have kicked on and the house would have exploded. The brave little kitten was awarded the Purple Paw award from the Montana Great Falls Animal Foundation. Trudy and Grey Guy are definitely lucky to have such a smart and courageous cat looking out for them at all hours of the night.
9 Golden Retriever saves boy from cougar
This dog has the right name for his brave act. In British Columbia, Canada, an 11-year-old boy was out in the woods collecting firewood for the family's furnace. He always walked with his loyal and trusted Golden Retriever, Angel, but on this night, he noticed that Angel was acting differently, not the usual happy-go-lucky. Before he knew what happened, a cougar pounced from approximately 10 feet away, but Angel jumped in front of her owner and took the brunt of the attack. Luckily, the police constable was nearby and shot the cougar before any fatal damages were done to Angel, who did later have to have surgery on her head from the injuries. Thankfully, both Angel and Austin were fine. "She was my best friend, but now, she's even greater to me," said Austin after treating Angel to a nice, big steak. A dog truly is a man's best friend, and Angel and Austin stand as living testaments to that.
8 Lions save girl from kidnappers
A 12-year-old girl from Kenya was kidnapped from her village and taken by hostages in 2005 so that she could be forced into marriage. She was held captive for a week, but when the police found her, there were no signs of the captors anywhere. Instead, 3 large lions stood by her, guarding her like she was their cub. It seems that the lions were in the area searching for food when they saw the little girl with the kidnappers. Facing 3 giant cats, not to mention hungry cats, the captors fled, but the little girl stayed behind, crying. Officials believe that the lions mistook her cries for that of a baby cub and guarded the girl like one of their own. Needless to say, this is one unbelievable rescue.
7 Gorilla saves 3-year-old boy
When a 3-year-old boy fell over the railing at the Broofield Zoo in Illinois, he became the prime focus and attention for a very large gorilla named Binti Jua. The 18-foot drop left the young child unconscious as he lay in the middle of the enclosure, suffering some pretty bad head trauma. However, Binti Jua approached the boy midst loud cries and shouts from the boy's parents and other spectators. Instead, the massive gorilla treated the boy like he was one of his own, gently holding him and even examining his head wound as much as a gorilla can do such a thing. The zoo officials were soon able to enter the enclosure without angering Binti Jua and retrieve the boy without a problem. A happy ending to what seemed like a horrible beginning.
6 Pig saves owner from heart attack
Not too many owners these days have large pigs as pets, but Jo Ann is one lucky pig owner. Her 150-pound pig named Lulu was there to run for help when Jo Ann had a sudden heart attack. Having never left the fenced yard before, let alone knowing how to operate the fence latch, Lulu managed to escape and reach a highway, where she waited for cars to stop and proceeded to lay in the middle of the road, hoping someone would notice and come out. For over 45 minutes, Lulu would do this and run back to Jo Ann to make sure she was still alright, until one car did fully stop and the man followed Lulu back to Jo Ann. The driver called the paramedics and Jo Ann was safely transported to the hospital. For her outstanding sacrifice and courage, Lulu was given her favorite treat: a jelly doughnut.
5 Rabbit saves man from diabetic coma
Simon Steggall fell into a pretty serious diabetic coma in his home in Cambridgeshire, England. When he passed out on the couch, his wife Victoria didn't think too much of it, assuming he had fallen asleep after a hard day's work. Simon hadn't made any noises and looked like he was peacefully sleeping. However, the family's pet rabbit named Dory immediately sensed that something was wrong. She quickly jumped onto Simon's chest and began thumping with her feet, as well as licking his ear to try and get him to wake up. Upon seeing Dory's erratic behavior, Victoria realized it was not a regular nap and called the paramedics. Dory was later awarded membership into the Rabbit Welfare Association, which promotes safety and health for all domestic rabbits throughout the UK. The award is generally given to humans, but seeing Dory's heroic act, it is only fair to extend the award to her.
4 Dolphins save man from Great White Shark
In 2007, a man named Todd Endris was surfing when a Great White came up and attacked him on his board. The shark inflicted some pretty serious bites on Todd, who was now in the water and bleeding severely. He needed a hospital immediately! That is when a group of dolphins warded the shark away, who was at this point fairly full and ready to move on, surrounded Todd, and swam with him to the shore to make sure he got there safe. Todd was immediately transported to the hospital for his injuries, but he will never forget the pod of dolphins who found themselves in the right place at exactly the right time.
3 Horse saves woman from raging cow
An avid Scotland farmer, Fiona Boyd was tending to the cries of a baby calf when the calf's thousand-pound mother and one of Fiona's cows charged and rammed Fiona several times, body-slamming her and even rolling over her to show her anger and territorial behavior towards Fiona and how she handled her calf. As Fiona began screaming and crying out for help, her horse Kerry heard the cries and galloped over just in time. As Fiona was battling to get away from the cow, Kerry began kicking the cow with his hind legs, enough so that Fiona could drag herself 20 feet away and slide under an electric fence. Thankfully, Fiona suffered only scrapes and bruises, but she will be forever grateful to her horse, Kerry.
2 Dog saves owner from choking by giving the Heimlich
1 Parrot saves 2-year-old girl
You might think of pet birds as loud and annoying, but when a parrot started screeching in the Kuusk household, it did more than annoy. It saved a life. Willie the Quaker parrot noticed that the 2-year-old Hannah Kuusk was chocking on her food. He immediately began flapping his wings and crying out, "mama baby" over and over again. The bird owner and babysitter, Megan Howard, heard the cries from the bathroom and rushed over to Hannah to perform the Heimlich technique. Hannah was safe, and at the end of the day, Willie was a local hero, earning the Red Cross chapter's Animal Lifesaver Award.

Why Have It and How to Install It
The Facebook "pixel" is a tracking code, pure and simple, and it's totally free. (For those who need to know, it's actually a 1px non-displaying image that shows up on every page of the website you're tracking).
So, you have a Hubspot website (or any website platform for that matter)? But you (currently) have no intention of running Facebook ads?
No worries—but still, you should install a Facebook pixel into your Hubspot website asap, today if possible. Here's why:
1) Track Visitors and Collect Data
You may or not be spending on Google Adwords but you probably have installed Google Analytics tracking, right? The Facebook Pixel will do all that Google Analytics will do but with a focus on Facebook.
Why Facebook?
- Facebook is a social media platform with almost 2 billion active users.
- There are over 65 million Facebook business pages.
- Facebook is a social media platform, a platform for digital display advertising, and a search engine all in one.
There is a little war going on between the two major players: Google and Facebook. While Google+, as a social media platform may have questionable worth and suffers (badly) in social media market share, Google as a search engine is still very formidable.
But while Google can boast (as of today) of having more search users, Facebook can boast having more users actively sharing information. In other words, maybe you should focus on the quality of a digital network, as well as volume.
2) Get Sales
This is why you're doing anything on digital media, like blogging, posting on social, doing inbound, right? To get sales.
Once you install a Facebook pixel into your Hubspot website, that little bit of code will start tracking user data. There is one telling reason to install your pixel right away: The day you begin running Facebook ads, you can begin getting immediate results by retargeting leads using the data your pixel has been collecting.
Remember, the Facebook pixel is free, and so is the data collection. Where else in the digital realm can you begin a campaign and get immediate results? Nowhere. So please, install a Facebook pixel into your Hubspot (or other) website platform asap!
How to install a Facebook pixel into your Hubspot Website
There has been some debate on the best way to install a Facebook pixel into your Hubspot website. What I'm going to show you works, is the way to do it, and it's the way we do it.
1) Create Your Pixel
If you're new to Facebook ads or tracking, here are some preliminary things you'll need:
- You need a website.
- You need a Facebook business page. A business page is a page that resides within your personal Facebook account. A Facebook business page is not your user account page—the page you post the pictures of your cat to, and it's not another user account you create.
- You need to create a Facebook Business Manager account.
- Create the pixel—stop at step #4; only follow steps 1, 2, 3.
2) Install Your Pixel Onto Your Hubspot Website [Short video tutorial]
Now you're off to a great start! After a few days, try logging back into your Facebook Business Manager account > Analytics. You'll catch a glympse of all the great data your new Pixel is collecting!

1. When should I have my first gynecology exam and/or Pap test?
Gynecology exams begin at 18 or earlier if needed. We are happy to see younger women to discuss contraception, screening for sexually transmitted infections, or any other gynecologic concerns or questions. Pap tests begin at age 21.
2. What should I do if I think I have a vaginal infection or urinary tract infection?
Please call our office for an appointment. Generally, same day appointments are available. Infections can have varying symptoms and it is important to be evaluated by your provider to ensure the correct diagnosis and treatment.
3. What should I think about when starting birth control pills?
Consider how easily you will remember to take a daily pill. Pills do not protect against HIV or any other sexually transmitted infections. It is best to be a non-smoker. Women over 35 who smoke cannot take estrogen containing birth control pills. Be sure to discuss your personal medical history with Dr. T to be sure there are no reasons that you cannot use the pill.
4. What should I do if I forget to take a birth control pill?
If you miss one pill, take it as soon as you remember. If you do not remember until the next day, take two pills at the same time. If you miss two days, take two pills for the next two days and use a back-up method of contraception such as condoms for the remainder of the pill pack. Be aware that taking two pills can sometimes cause nausea. Missing pills or taking pills late can sometimes result in very light vaginal bleeding and can also decrease the efficacy of your birth control. Try to take your pills at the same time every day so you are less likely to forget. Setting a daily reminder on your phone may help you remember. If you consistently have trouble remembering to take your pills on time, talk to your provider about alternative methods of contraception.
5. Can I get an Intrauterine Device (IUD)?
Intrauterine contraception is highly effective, long acting, and rapidly reversible. It is a safe option for most women. Ideal candidates are women who desire long-term contraception, are not planning pregnancy for at least a year, are in mutually monogamous long term sexual relationships, and desire non-estrogen methods. Mirena, Skyla, Kyleena, and Paragard IUDs are available in our office. They are inserted during your period so be sure to call on your first day to schedule. If you recently had a baby and are breastfeeding, you will not be menstruating and can schedule the insertion.
6. I recently started hormonal birth control and am having irregular bleeding. Is this normal?
You can expect spotting or irregular bleeding for the first three to six months after starting hormonal contraception such as birth control pills, Nuvaring, Mirena, and Implanon/Nexplanon. This is a common side effect, not harmful, and should improve with time. It does not mean that your contraception is not working. Sometimes women miss their period completely when using hormonal contraception. As long as you have been using it correctly this is of little concern. Check a pregnancy test if you miss two periods in a row or have pregnancy symptoms. Any reputable store brand used first thing in the morning will work.
7. Should I take the morning after pill?
Emergency contraception, also called the morning after pill, helps prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or birth control failure. It is more effective if taken within the first 72 hours, but can be taken for up to five days after the incident. It is available over the counter for women 17 years or older. A prescription is necessary if you are 16 or under. If you are already pregnant emergency contraception will not affect or abort an existing pregnancy.
8. Can I have a pap test if I have my period?
No, you should not have a pap smear or annual exam while you are having any spotting or bleeding. Please call the office to reschedule.
9. Should I be tested for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)?
HPV is a very common virus for women in their twenties and is usually only significant if a Pap test is abnormal or if HPV persists consistently after age thirty. Starting at age thirty women should have a Pap test along with testing for HPV.
10. Should I get the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine (Gardisil)?
The HPV vaccine (Gardasil) is administered to females and males age 9-26 in three doses over a six month period. The Centers for Disease Control and ACOG recommend routine HPV vaccination to girls at age 11 or 12. The vaccine is most effective when given before any exposure to HPV (i.e. before sexual activity) and produces higher antibody when given at this age compared to older ages. Girls and women age 13-26 can still receive the vaccine if they have not previously. The HPV vaccine is not recommended for pregnant women.
HPV can cause genital warts, precancerous lesions of the cervix and vagina, and cervical cancer. The HPV vaccine helps protect against diseases caused by HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18. These four types of HPV cause approximately 70% of cervical cancers and 90% of genital warts. However, because there are more than 100 types of HPV, the vaccine will not protect against all HPV types. The vaccine will also not protect against HPV types to which you have already been exposed. However, since exposure to all four HPV types prevented by the vaccine is unlikely, vaccination may still provide some benefit. Vaccination does not eliminate completely the chance of developing precancerous or cancerous lesions of the cervix, so it is still imperative that routine Pap testing continues.
The HPV vaccine is administered in three doses. The second dose is given two months after the first dose and the third dose is given six months after the first one. If the second or third doses are not given at those exact intervals they can be given at any time and the earlier doses do not need to be repeated. Insurance companies will only pay for doses completed by the 27th birthday.
11. How often do I need a Pap test?
Pap testing begins at age 21. Between ages 21 and 29, Pap tests are performed every three years. Beginning at age 30, Paps with testing for high risk HPV are performed every five years. Based on an individual patient's history these intervals may change. Please discuss your recommended interval with Dr. Trebian. Pap tests are not performed after age 65 except under unusual circumstances. Even though you may not need a Pap test annually, you should still schedule a yearly gynecologic exam. A physical exam including breast and pelvic exam will be performed, prescriptions refilled, referrals provided as needed, as well as any other concerns addressed.
12. What should I do if I think I have a sexually transmitted infection (STI)?
Call our office for an appointment. Early treatment helps to minimize long-term effects of STIs. Avoid sexual contact until you are treated. Some STIs may have mild or no symptoms at all so intermittent screening can be beneficial.
13. Will I know if I have a sexually transmitted infection (STI)?
No, not necessarily. Many sexually transmitted infections may have mild or no symptoms and can be transmitted without knowing. The only way to know for sure is to get tested.
14. What should I do if I miss my period?
If you are sexually active and could be pregnant take a home pregnancy test or call us for an appointment. If you are using hormonal contraception skipping periods may be a side effect of your contraceptive method. If you are not on any medication and have not had a period for three months, please call our office for an appointment.
15. When should I get my first mammogram?
The American Cancer Society and ACOG recommend annual mammograms starting at age 40. The United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends biennial screening mammography starting at age 50. If you are at high risk of developing breast cancer due to personal or family history mammograms before age 40 may be indicated, as well as other enhanced screening such as breast MRIs.
16. What can I do about my menopausal symptoms?
Lakeside OB/GYN specializes in the treatment of menopause, including the discussion of lifestyle strategies, the use of bioidentical hormones, and conventional hormone therapy. Please call our office to schedule a consultation if you would like more information.

When the US Burned All of Its Money in Hawaii
?At the start of the Pacific War, there was the very real danger of the Japanese invading Hawaii. The possibility of the enemy getting their hands on $200 million circulating in the islands worried authorities. Their extreme solution? Burn all of it.
Wartime emergencies often call for extreme measures. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was placed under martial law. It was an unprecedented and unparalleled experience for the territory?s American citizens. They were subjected to curfews, blackouts, and censorship of news and mail. Residents who were considered dangerous (mostly those of Japanese origin) were arrested and sent to internment camps.
In anticipation of a possible land invasion, the populace began hoarding basic items and cash. It was the latter that worried the military brass. At the time there was about $200 million worth of Uncle Sam?s money circulating in the territory. If the Japanese captured and occupied the islands, they could help themselves to the cash, which couldn?t be differentiated from the rest of the currency stock, and use it anywhere in the world. It would be a supreme irony if they could finance their war courtesy of the US.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Military Governor Delos Carleton Emmons issued an order on January 10, 1942 to recall all US paper money in Hawaii. Individuals were allowed to keep only $200 each and businesses $500 plus a little extra for payroll purposes. To keep the economy going, the restrictions were lifted six months later with the issue of new, overprinted notes on June 25. These were ordinary dollar bills but for the word ?HAWAII? stamped across the reverse side and two smaller prints on the sides of the obverse.
The idea behind the overprinted notes was to make Hawaiian currency distinctive so that it would be easy for the government to declare the money worthless should the Japanese seize it. There was no more need for residents to hold onto the non-overprinted notes and these were subsequently recalled. From August 15, only the new notes could be used in Hawaii, Palmyra, and Midway Islands, but GIs also spent it in places like the Philippines.
There remained the problem of what to do with the $200 million of regular notes confiscated by the authorities. It could be shipped back to the mainland, but the military found logistical problems in ferrying the bulky cargo across the sea. They determined that the most sensible option was to burn all of it.
The money was sent to a local crematorium where the burning commenced. A fine mesh was placed over the smokestacks to keep unburned scraps from floating out, ensuring complete destruction. But there was so much money that it was taking too long to destroy. Authorities had to requisition the bigger furnaces of the Aiea sugar mill to make double time on the work.
The overprinted notes continued to serve as legal tender until October 1944 and were recalled in April 1946. Today, they are extremely collectible, especially the $5 note, of which only nine million were printed. There are also the even more valuable ?star notes,? which are bills with an asterisk after the serial number to indicate that they were replacements for damaged money. So if you ever come across some Hawaiian currency, don?t throw it out. It might be worth something.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW)-- Chip and PC shares rallied Tuesday as anti-Taliban forces captured Afghanistan's capital, marking an important step toward ending the conflict in the Central Asia country.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, +0.34% and the Goldman Sachs Hardware Index GHA, +0.00% rose by 4.2 percent and 4 percent, respectively.
The developments in Afghanistan point to the next evolution of the battle to eradicate Osama bin Laden's terrorist networks there. Exactly what that will bring is unclear as there's concern that the so-called Northern Alliance will take charge of Kabul even though the U.S. has asked to keep the area open for the country's different ethnic groups. See full story.
Against a positive backdrop for equities, shares of Dow-component Intel INTC, -1.12%, the world's top chipmaker, rose $1.67 to $30.05 while chief rival Advanced Micro Devices AMD, +1.07% rose 85 cents to $13.65.
On Tuesday, Intel unveiled a new line of chips for low-power servers, including a processor that operates at 700 MHz running at 1.1 volts. See news release.
Micron Technology MU, +0.75% rose $1.85, or 7 percent, to $29, not only buoyed by the general market's upturn but also by an upgrade from Gerard Klauer Mattison to "buy."
Texas Instruments TXN, +0.49% rose by $1.92, or 6 percent, to $33.82. In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Tuesday, the company said that chip orders hit bottom in the third quarter and that the floor for revenue should be set in the fourth quarter.
The company also reiterated its fourth-quarter outlook. Total revenues are expected to decline by 10 percent sequentially due to seasonal declines and continued chip market weakness -- in line with the $1.67 billion estimated by analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call, down from $1.85 billion in the third quarter. The quarter's loss should also be in line with the analysts' current consensus estimate of 9 cents.
As for chip revenues specifically, Texas Instruments said they should dip by 5 percent from third-quarter levels.
Applied Materials AMAT, +1.12% rose $1.84 to $40.80, one day ahead of its quarterly results.
Dell Computer DELL, -0.34% rose $1.03 to $26.82. The PC giant reports quarterly results on Thursday, the same day as Hewlett-Packard.
Hewlett-Packard HWP, still on track to merge with Compaq Computer CPQ even as some shareholders resist the pending tie-up, rose 93 cents to $20.23. Compaq advanced $1.14 to $8.80.
Other PC stocks also traded broadly higher. Apple Computer AAPL, +0.39% and IBM IBM, -5.52% advanced, by 62 cents to $19.37 and by $1.84 to $116.70, respectively. Gateway GTW was up 94 cents, or 13 percent, to $8.20.

Stepping into ANGKAT is like entering another world that seems almost close to home, but not quite. A couple leisurely glides along in a sampan, a man fishes while standing on top of a stool, and a child sits under an umbrella. The backdrop is lit in a luminous purple colour, bathing the cast with a twilight glow. As such, the world of ANGKAT submerges the familiar with the imaginative. Playing with fact and fiction, ANGKAT's take on the Singapore story is definitive, maybe.

(AllHipHop Rumors) The white-on-white crime in rap is out of control! You have MGK, Eminem, JoJo Pelligrino! And more! Bhad Bhabie aka "The Cash Me Outside" girl from Dr. Phil is now rapping and dissing Eminem. LOL! This is silly! But, here is the deal. The chick was told by social media that Eminem had stole her flow on a song on the album and decided to change her album to include Shady.
"Wit all that talk last week about eminem stealing Hi Bich flow (even though I don't believe it), I decided to go back in the studio and change the last line on the last song called 'Bhad Bhabie Story' of my 15 mixtape #cleaningoutmycloset."
This is just a shame. This trailer trash chick is getting paid huge amounts of money to down out beloved Hip-Hop. She ultimately ends up paying her respects to Em. "I never dissed my mom to get some attention/Take a second and listen/'Fore you give your dumbass opinion, you b#tch." YIKES.
What yall know about JoJo Pellegrino? Dude was a real spitter and still is. Listen up.

Located at Fermilab, the MicroBooNE collaboration is currently operating a large 170 ton Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) that is located on the Booster neutrino beam line at Fermilab. The experiment first started collecting neutrino data in October 2015. MicroBooNE will measure low energy neutrino cross sections and investigate the low energy excess events observed by the MiniBooNE experiment. The detector also serves as a next step in a phased program towards the construction of massive kiloton scale LAr TPC detectors for future long-baseline neutrino physics (DUNE) and is the first detector in the short-baseline neutrino program at Fermilab.

The EU electricity network codes and guidelines are a detailed set of rules to promote the harmonisation of national electricity markets and regulations on the way to the European Energy Union. By the end of 2017, a total of eight network codes and guidelines have been implemented: three grid connection codes, three market codes and two operation codes. In order to raise awareness of these innovative pan-European rules for a more sustainable, reliable and interconnected power system and to better involve market participants in the code contents and their implementation, the Florence School of Regulation (FSR) has published a new syllabus as part of its online training on European network codes.
The online course partners of the FSR are those institutions that have developed the codes: the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E), the European Agency for Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) and the European Commission. The new manual deals mainly with market codes and discusses, for instance, the different European electricity markets and their establishment in the national context as well as their integration. Also, two connection codes are described and their technical requirements clarified. The syllabus is also a beneficial addition to ENTSO-E's e-codes application for smartphones.
The FSR has published a new syllabus on the European electricity network codes (picture: photomontage using an illustration by the European Union / EC – Audiovisual Service)

Blrt [DRAFT]
Thinkun | Best Mobile or App Startup
Image Credit : (c) 2014 Blrt
Project Overview
Blrt gets everyone on the same page by letting you talk, point and draw over websites, images and documents. It's a free, easy-to-use app that's set to change the way you communicate with friends or colleagues when you can't meet face to face.
What makes it so special? Blrt helps you express yourself verbally and visually, just as you would in person but without the need to be available at the same time or place. Unlike email, it captures everything, including important nuances like voice inflections.
Blrt founder Anurag Chakradhar leads a well rounded team of digital marketing professionals at Thinkun - an independent Sydney based digital innovations agency. Anurag conceptualised Blrt as a next generation communication tool and Thinkun has delivered an incredibly innovative product that's also beautiful and very usable.
The Blrt team is proud to play a part in delivering Australia's next big tech innovation.
Project Brief
Our brief (from the Blrt founder to the Blrt founder :-) was to create a way for people to communicate using mobile, tablet and computer devices where the following criteria were met:
- Communicate with people who are not at the same place as you
- Collaborate with others without being available at the same time
- Make yourself understood clearly with all the emotion that your voice delivers
- Be able to point at things as if you were in the same room as others
- Be able to draw over things, zoom in to show detail, flip pages of a document, all as you're talking about these actions
- Provide a video-like communication experience without the heavy bandwidth and storage requirements of video
- Maintain a record of conversations unlike phone calls
- Be entirely in the cloud, so that all conversations can be retrieved on any device
Essentially, create a communication tool that includes all the benefits of phone calls, emails and video conferences but removes the limitations of each of them - as seen in the table at www.blrt.com
Project Need
It takes too long to write descriptive emails and they're often misinterpreted. Over the phone, you can't show or point at things, and it's hard to document discussions. A meeting needs everyone to be available at the same time and same place. Screen capture videos are bandwidth intensive and impractical.
Enter Blrt!
Blrts can be created from webpages, images or multi-page PDFs straight from the built-in browser, your photo gallery, camera, email or Dropbox.
Start talking, zooming and scribbling over the media. Every multi-touch gesture is captured in sync with your voice.
Your recipients will see and hear exactly what you recorded. Add anyone at anytime to see the entire conversation.
Pause, rewind and zoom in on received Blrts. When you're ready, reply with your own audio visual feedback or just type a comment.
Blrt supports multi-page PDFs, making it easier than ever to feedback on documents, drawings, wireframes, websites and so much more.
Blrts can be 50 times smaller than videos making them so much more efficient than video conferences and screen-capture videos.
Blrts are saved to the cloud so you can access them on any device. Download Blrt for your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
User Experience
Starting from one or more image, web page or multi-page PDF document, the user simply starts talking, pointing and drawing over the media. Every hand gesture is captured perfectly in sync with the spoken audio - such as drawing free form, straight lines, shapes or pointing and zooming or flipping pages. Internet connectivity is not required at the time of recording a Blrt. Blrt automatically syncs to the cloud when connectivity is available.
Recipients see a conversation starting with the original Blrt, played back exactly as it was recorded. The experience is video-like, but amazingly, Blrt uses kilobytes, not tens of megabytes that video requires. They can then reply with their own Blrt on the original media, talking and drawing over the websites, images or document pages with their comments.
A detailed 15-minute email can turn into a one minute Blrt. People don't need to be available at the same time or be in one place, but can still collaborate like they're sitting next to each other.
Available now on iPad, iPhone and iPod. Followed by Android, Windows and Mac.
Project Marketing
Blrt has a detailed marketing strategy and at its core lies our awareness and engagement plan. Our launch marketing strategy covers three phases within 6 months: soft launch with 200 users, nurture two industry verticals to attain 2000 users, and then kickstart growth to attain 10,000 users.
Here are some high level elements of Blrt marketing:
- Huge Total Addressable Market, but broken down into groups, verticals and charted on out rollout timeline to address one by one - e.g. 'Architect/engineer conversations in Sydney'.
- Virality built into the fabric of the software
- The social media strategy augments Blrt inbound marketing activities including LinkedIn campaigns, Facebook campaigns and an outbound email marketing campaign; by aligning social media content to the Blrt content pillars and foundational positioning, messaging and copy and product marketing assets such as imagery, icons and copy providing users with context and scenarios to drive awareness, adoption and advocacy of Blrt.
Project Privacy
Blrt uses SSL encryption for securing data received at the server. All payments are processed via third party processors such as iTunes and Stripe.
The minimum personal content required for sign up consists of name, email address and password.
All data stored in the cloud is encrypted.
A full copy of our Privacy Policy can be found at http://blrt.com/privacy/
Best Mobile or App Startup
This category relates to Startups working on a Mobile project or an App. The project could be for smartphones, tablet, web, game console or api apps. Startup projects need to be newly emerging, less than 5 million users and less than 3 years old.

"Kill Confirmed"
Another year, another Call of Duty. The past couple of years have been rough on the franchise to establish solid title on the new generation of consoles. Despite the great campaign and new addition of Extinction mode, Call of duty: Ghosts flopped with its multiplayer and hurt its reputation with the Next-Gen gamers. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare brought some decent multiplayer, which was well received by the majority of the Next-Gen community, but ultimately made its biggest impact on the previous gen consoles. Many gamers were looking to Treyarch to design a superior Call of Duty experience for the Next Generation, and I can say that in fact they have. Not only is Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (CODBO3) great, its the best in the Call of Duty installment franchise.
The amount of content in CODBO3 is ridiculous compared to previous titles in the franchise. There are four main game modes: Campaign, Multiplayer, Zombies, and Nightmares (only available once the campaign has been completed). If that wasn't enough there's an additional mini game mode, which I believe could have been sold as an indie game for $15, is a sequel to the original Black Ops easter egg called Dead Ops Arcade 2. The amount of content was a much welcomed surprise and felt almost like Trayarch was apologizing for the past two years of dull games, but also as if they were saying "Yes, we are best developer in the series".
Zombies are back again and though Treyarch is the creator of the fan favorite mode it misses the mark. I thought that Advanced Warfares Zombie mode was the best in the series and I feel like Treyarch tried to do too much with it. Going with a much more cinematic approach which made no sense, and a supernatural counter part to boot with your character, the Zombies just seem so mediocre this year. While the gameplay is still very solid and the base objective is the same, the map layout isn't what you would come to expect out of Treyarch. Its still a very fun endeavor with friends, but after the remarkable zombies in AW, I was left disappointed.
Here is where I have my complaints. The gameplay runs a smooth 60fps while your in control no matter what mode your on. When you go to a on rail cut scene in the campaign though you immediately drop to sub 30fps. It was very annoying playing on my Xbox One, but was also an issue on the PS4 as well. If you have a PC that can handle it well, I suggest for campaign only players to buy it there. Its no surprise that with poor performance that the campaign was cut from the Xbox 360 and Ps3 versions, especially when it runs so poorly on the Xbox one and ps4.
As expected from the leading developers at Activision, Sound quality is a great as its ever been. Whether your listening to dialog and environments in campaign, or the footsteps behind you in the multiplayer, its a soothing experience with clear effects to immerse yourself in the experience.
After much disappointment from the Next Generation entries of COD, Treyarch has really sent us a polished experience with loads of content. If you enjoyed COD in the past, you need to get this one. Behind some framerate difficulties is still an amazing game and I have had the most fun I have ever had in an Call of Duty game.

Anna Maria Island in line for stimulus boost
Stimulus funding totaling more than $2 million will pay for multiple new transportation projects on Anna Maria Island in the coming months, including new sidewalks, resurfaced roads and new landscaping.
Some of the more high-profile projects include funding for part of the Gulf Drive Improvement plan in Bradenton Beach and resurfacing all of Pine Avenue in the city of Anna Maria.
There will also be 3.8 new miles of sidewalks along the island and a $500,000 beautification project along Gulf of Mexico Drive in Longboat Key.
"These are projects that we have not in the past been able to afford," said Diane Percycoe, Anna Maria's finance director.
Major projects in Anna Maria include repairing the bridge at North Bay Boulevard and Crescent Avenue, and resurfacing Pine Avenue and a portion of Gulf Drive.
"Those are two major streets," she said. "They get a lot of traffic during season. It's just non-ending."
The Sarasota-Manatee Metropolitan Planning Organization forwarded the projects to the Florida Department of Transportation. MPO placed a higher priority on projects in smaller cities so stimulus funds weren't taken up with one large project.
"The smaller cities don't have the budgets that the counties have," said MPO planning manager Bob Herrington. "This offers them a chance to fund what they consider major projects."
FDOT spokeswoman Cindy Clemmons-Adente said funding for all of the projects has been approved, and the contractor bidding process should begin within the next few months.
Pedestrians will enjoy miles of new sidewalks along the island, most of which are in Holmes Beach and Anna Maria.
Bradenton Beach will also get new sidewalks and landscaping as part of the Gulf Drive Improvement plan. Sidewalks will line the west side of the street so people can walk along the beach.
"We have several gaps in our sidewalks," said Lisa Marie Phillips, project director for Bradenton Beach. "This is a step toward remitting those gaps."
Landscaping will be limited to plants that are indigenous to the island, such as blanket flower, marsh hay and sabal palm.
Construction contracts will be signed in December, and the project should be finished by the end of January, before peak tourist season.
Original project plans called for items such as new lighting and dune walkovers. Those elements did not qualify as transportation improvements and were excluded.
The project was first budgeted for $830,000, but will probably cost about half that, Phillips said.
Unused funds will be routed to other projects within Manatee and Sarasota counties.

ELGAR; DELIUS Violin Concertos
Regular readers will know that I've often sung the praises of Albert Sammons' 1929 account of Elgar's Violin Concerto with Sir Henry Wood and the New Queen's Hall Orchestra; for me' it remains the finest version ever made' outstripping even the legendary Menuhin/Elgar collaboration from three years later in terms of authoritative grip' intuitive poetry and emotional candour. Previous transfers to CD have varied from satisfactory (Pearl and Novello' both 11/89 – nla) to merely tolerable (Avid Masters' A/98) and unacceptably botched (avoid Pearl's last effort' 9/99' with its gruesome sidejoins). So it is a pleasure to encounter Mark ObertThorn's judicious restoration for Naxos. Columbia's early electrical recording has never been easy to transfer' and just occasionally backgroundlevels mask orchestral detail; otherwise' ObertThorn extracts plenty of body and bloom from his chosen laminated British pressings. Ultimately' I'd still like to think that EMI might at some stage restore Anthony Griffiths's exemplary LP transfer (last available on World Records' 4/79 – nla). In the meantime' however' this newcomer will do very nicely.
Delius heard Sammons perform the Elgar in May 1915 and was so bowled over that he set about writing a concerto for the formidable virtuoso. Sammons premièred the work with Boult in January 1919 but had to wait a full quarter of a century before committing it to disc for Columbia with Sargent and the then Liverpool Philharmonic. Here is another irreplaceable document: Sammons was an assiduous champion of this glorious music' and although the solo playing has not quite the effortless technical mastery of its companion here (within a couple of years' Sammons contracted Parkinson's disease and was forced to retire from the concert platform)' his wonderfully wise and unforced interpretation penetrates to the very core of Delius's piercingly lovely vision. Although I retain an especial fondness for Jean Pougnet's intensely poetic and persuasive 1946 account with Beecham and the RPO (EMI' 9/92 – nla)' Sammons remains essential listening. Naxos's wellmade transfer (taken from American shellacs) has a good deal less surfacenoise than its Testament rival' and Tully Potter's bookletnotes are excellent. An admirable introduction to a truly great fiddler' irresistible at the price.

Project overview from the designer and PM, Barbara Dooley.
MCCP were looking to relocate their head office from Sir John Rogerson's Quay, to Great Strand Street. The brief was fascinating. The company is a marketing and advertising group, with style. There are a lot of young staff, and these staff are treated well! The client had ambitions for the new space, and these ambitions were met with a bespoke design, that threw away any notions of your typical office design.
The concept was developed by researching the clients existing office, clients, functions, ethos and philosophy. They worked in a very collaborative and agile way, and were not afraid of pops of colour and using current trends. The new office was 4 floors over basement. It was in average condition, but needed some TLC. Our team upgraded the services in tune with this new collaborative and integrative work space.
There were lots of quirky zones, focus rooms, informal and formal meeting spaces and acoustic phone booths. All of the finishes were not standard off the shelf. I picked and treated fussy and stylish fabrics form Osborne and Little and created our own acoustic foam boards. The banquette seats had a range of different styles, butting up beside each other, which were again, hand selected and a complete one of a kind appearance. I mixed finishes of light wash and smoked oak floors with the carpet tiles which had pops of more daring colours and wrapped the walls in a stylised paint finish which included continuous stripes of colour. Dark ceilings were achieved by exposing services, and we used feature satin tones over each floor. The top floor was a spectrum of fuchsia, the middle floors were fields of lilac and green and the reception was a mixed tone of greens with some bold mustard yellows and large dramatic filament bulbs were hung over meetings spaces and work benches while also casting some shades to the reception areas.
The canteen facility was quite unique with smoked floor finishes, a specially designed dark and matte cabinet base, marble veined tops, a walnut island unit and powder pink cappuccino storage units. The space was lit with a mixture of pendants and hidden strip lights. The kitchen was tiled in a watery and glossy finish of bronze, gold an pink tiles to the walls. We created tailored signage to the glazing, vinyl's and external signs.
Everything about this fit out experience was different, from the quirky shaped building, to the large range of finishes and textures. The style and flexibility of this creative process, enabled me to explore a marvellous and unique look, while also ensuring the jobs function was equal to its form.
If you'd like to talk to us about your own office space get in touch with Barbara today.

Cars Galore Formula Ford driver Will Brown has claimed pole position and Race 1 victory from a 24 car field, during the final round of the 2016 Australian Formula Ford championships at Phillip Island.
The win now puts Will within striking distance of claiming the Formula Ford championship, over nearest rival Leanne Tannder, who finished outside the podium.
If Brown manages to win the round this weekend at Australia's fastest race track, he will have claimed the 2016 championships in both the Australian Formula 4 and the Australian Formula Ford series.
18 year old Brown wrapped up the CAMS Jayco Australian Formula 4 championship 2 weeks ago on the streets of Surfers Paradise.
