Cara Clements (22C) used to be bullied in middle school because she had scoliosis. But after winning several beauty pageants within the Miss America Organization, she has become a vocal advocate for mental health.
Clements has spoken at the Georgia State Capital and even published her own book, "The Self-Care Journal: Mindful Journaling and Inspiration for Positivity and Joy."
Clements first became interested in promoting mental health when she began competing in the Miss America Organization, which provides scholarships for contestants who advocate for philanthropies. Clements holds the title of Miss Rome 2018 after competing in the local Georgia pageant, and has previously been crowned Miss Greater Stone Mountain 2018 and Miss Starr's Mills's Outstanding Teen 2017.
Before she competed in pageants, Clements regularly raised money and awareness for the Children's Miracle Network Hospital, where she was once the beneficiary of philanthropy herself.
When she was 15, Clements underwent spinal fusion surgery to improve her scoliosis at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Her experience overcoming the affliction inspired her to give back. Prior to competing in pageants, writing her book and getting surgery, Clements said she struggled to fit in.
"In middle school I got … bullied a lot …. because I had scoliosis, and people thought I was weird because of that, my clothes wouldn't fit right … [and] because my back was crooked," Clements said. "This caused a lot of self esteem issues … [that] I kept to myself for a really long time"
Struggling with her own body image and unable to find a support system in school, Clements soon noticed that the Georgia public school system lacked professionals to help students beyond the academic sphere.
"I would go to my counselor for something, and they would turn me away if it wasn't academic," Clements said. "They're [guidance] counselors, but they shouldn't be called counselors cause they're not actually here for you [emotionally]."
Her own experience inspired her to build a platform through the Miss America Organization with Director of the Miss Rome Pageant, Andrea Pitt.
After her subsequent Miss Rome and Miss Greater Stone Mountains wins in August and June 2018, respectively, Clements spoke at the Georgia State Capitol regarding new legislation she helped pass. The bill designated a week in March 6-12 as "Children's Mental Health Week" and is meant to increase awareness of mental health in Georgia public schools and teach kids about mental health.
Clements' brother Cody Clements, a junior at Yale University majoring in molecular, cellular and developmental biology (MCDB) and economics, said he has seen his sister grow into the authentic person she always wanted to be after she earned success from pageants and her book.
"When she won [Miss Starr's Mills' Outstanding Teen 2017], they asked who her role model was and she said my name, and I may or may not have cried a little bit," her brother said. "I asked her about it afterwards and her reasoning was, 'You're such an authentic, genuine person and I also want to be that.' "
Clements also created her own podcast, called "Be Your Own Beautiful" in 2018. The podcast led to her book.
"[I] did a few podcasts and it got a lot of views … and I had good reception and feedback … but this wasn't tangible," Clements said. "I had insight on something that I struggled with and I wanted to help people; I [wanted] to be a resource, so I [decided to write a book]."
"The Self-Care Journal" was published alongside Clements' Miss Rome 2019 win in January. She began the book in June 2018, and designed every page on Adobe Photoshop. The book takes the form of a bullet journal, which allows readers to track their mood and health and also serves as a guided self-care resource for self-reflection not only meant for people struggling with mental health.
"Cara personalizes each book … [with] notes on the front cover," her brother said. "She practices what she preaches and it has helped with her self-confidence … [and] to be more mindful and self-aware."
After publication, Clements contacted Georgia's Board of Education and State School Superintendent Richard Woods, whom she pushed to further funding for mental health professionals in Georgia public schools.
Clements now focuses her mental health advocacy on Emory's campus. She even submitted a self-made documentary, meant to act as an extension of her book, to this year's Campus Movie Fest. The festival challenges students to create a short documentary within a six-day window.
"I would like to extend [this] to a full-length documentary that is an extension on my book," Clements said. "[It is] an informative documentary on the stigma of mental illness across colleges campuses, more specifically at Emory."
For her film, Clements discusses her own experience and also interviews professionals at Emory Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) and assistant professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Mahalia Way. Her documentary is called "Stigmas" and will premiere on March 4, at 6:30 p.m. at Harland Cinema.
Clements plans on double majoring in media studies and marketing. She co-founded the Emory Film Club and is a member of the varsity track and field team, Emory Student Ambassadors and Pi Beta Phi sorority.
As Clements continues to give back to the Georgia and Emory communities with her efforts to increase mental health awareness, she advises her peers to reach out for help when needed.
"[Don't] be too reserved or afraid to reach out to people when you need help, whether that is academic or with your mental health," Clements said. "Don't feel like you have to process and figure out everything by yourself, because Emory does offer so many resources."

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Two Ways of Seeing a River, by Mark Twain
From Life on the Mississippi (1883)
Now when I had mastered the language of this water and had come to know every trifling feature that bordered the great river as familiarly as I knew the letters of the alphabet, I had made a valuable acquisition. But I had lost something, too. I had lost something which could never be restored to me while I lived. All the grace, the beauty, the poetry had gone out of the majestic river! I still keep in mind a certain wonderful sunset which I witnessed when steamboating was new to me. A broad expanse of the river was turned to blood; in the middle distance the red hue brightened into gold, through which a solitary log came floating, black and conspicuous; in one place a long, slanting mark lay sparkling upon the water; in another the surface was broken by boiling, tumbling rings, that were as many-tinted as an opal; where the ruddy flush was faintest, was a smooth spot that was covered with graceful circles and radiating lines, ever so delicately traced; the shore on our left was densely wooded, and the sombre shadow that fell from this forest was broken in one place by a long, ruffled trail that shone like silver; and high above the forest wall a clean-stemmed dead tree waved a single leafy bough that glowed like a flame in the unobstructed splendor that was flowing from the sun. There were graceful curves, reflected images, woody heights, soft distances; and over the whole scene, far and near, the dissolving lights drifted steadily, enriching it, every passing moment, with new marvels of coloring.
I stood like one bewitched. I drank it in, in a speechless rapture. The world was new to me, and I had never seen anything like this at home. But as I have said, a day came when I began to cease from noting the glories and the charms which the moon and the sun and the twilight wrought upon the river's face; another day came when I ceased altogether to note them. Then, if that sunset scene had been repeated, I should have looked upon it without rapture, and should have commented upon it, inwardly, in this fashion: "This sun means that we are going to have wind to-morrow; that floating log means that the river is rising, small thanks to it; that slanting mark on the water refers to a bluff reef which is going to kill somebody's steamboat one of these nights, if it keeps on stretching out like that; those tumbling 'boils' show a dissolving bar and a changing channel there; the lines and circles in the slick water over yonder are a warning that that troublesome place is shoaling up dangerously; that silver streak in the shadow of the forest is the 'break' from a new snag, and he has located himself in the very best place he could have found to fish for steamboats; that tall dead tree, with a single living branch, is not going to last long, and then how is a body ever going to get through this blind place at night without the friendly old landmark?"
No, the romance and the beauty were all gone from the river. All the value any feature of it had for me now was the amount of usefulness it could furnish toward compassing the safe piloting of a steamboat. Since those days, I have pitied doctors from my heart. What does the lovely flush in a beauty's cheek mean to a doctor but a "break" that ripples above some deadly disease? Are not all her visible charms sown thick with what are to him the signs and symbols of hidden decay? Does he ever see her beauty at all, or doesn't he simply view her professionally, and comment upon her unwholesome condition all to himself? And doesn't he sometimes wonder whether he has gained most or lost most by learning his trade?

And yet a scientist will tell you that knowing the myriad scientific details behind, say, a California golden poppy, makes it all the more attractive.
I am dubious.
Knowing the Linnaean binomial nomenclature (Eschscholzia californica) detracts from the wonder of the common name, which evokes visions of distant wealth and opium.
Who's the better for that?
A = Pi (r * r)
And for all that, her beauty still remains in my heart and memory.
The romance probably evaporates from a lot of "romantic" vocations. It sure did for me in trans-ocean flying and the travel that goes with it, way back when.
Las Vegas has a certain kind of magic the first time you see the lights of the Strip as a tourist... but after 20 years of residency, the magic's faded, a little.
--i think Twain is talking about women --or more specifically, the way he knows the arc of 'her' feelings --about him --must progress. Bittersweet, my faverite wurd
That's a good one, Bird Dog. Here's another Twain quote about the river that I've always liked. It's from his Life on the Mississippi:
I had myself called with the four o'clock watch, mornings, for one cannot see too many summer sunrises on the Mississippi. They are enchanting. First, there is the eloquence of silence; for a deep hush broods everywhere. Next, there is the haunting sense of loneliness, isolation, remoteness from the worry and bustle of the world. The dawn creeps in stealthily; the solid walls of black forest soften to gray, and vast stretches of the river open up and reveal themselves; the water is glass-smooth, gives off spectral little wreaths of white mist, there is not the faintest breath of wind, nor stir of leaf; the tranquillity is profound and infinitely satisfying. Then a bird pipes up, another follows, and soon the pipings develop into a jubilant riot of music. You see none of the birds; you simply move through an atmosphere of song which seems to sing itself. When the light has become a little stronger, you have one of the fairest and softest pictures imaginable. You have the intense green of the massed and crowded foliage near by; you see it paling shade by shade in front of you; upon the next projecting cape, a mile off or more, the tint has lightened to the tender young green of spring; the cape beyond that one has almost lost color, and the furthest one, miles away under the horizon, sleeps upon the water a mere dim vapor, and hardly separable from the sky above it and about it. And all this stretch of river is a mirror, and you have the shadowy reflections of the leafage and the curving shores and the receding capes pictured in it. Well, that is all beautiful; soft and rich and beautiful; and when the sun gets well up, and distributes a pink flush here and a powder of gold yonder and a purple haze where it will yield the best effect, you grant that you have seen something that is worth remembering.
I believe he wrote this in his later years. Perhaps he'd managed to recapture some of his youthful enchantment by then.
That was a good one, BD.
Enchantment or the melancholy of age, jhc. His mellifluous mind maundering much like his munificent and magnificent Mississippi.
Excellent use of alliteration, XRay! And poetic. It's a nice touch.
A Haiku...
Mellifluous mind
Maunders magnificently
Mississippi moves
Excellent yourself, Jephnol. 5/7/5/. Perfect, and well done.
Leaving a current, or miasma of mystery, just adds.
How fascinating! I read "Life on the Mississippi" ages ago, and that passage has always enthralled me. I keep coming back to it every time that I see a beautiful sunset or fabulous vista; what we understand often loses its magnificence. In knowing all the details, we sometimes lose track of the big picture.
Literally, we "cannot see the forest for the trees"!
Richard Feynman would argue that knowing the scientific details did not remove the ability to appreciate the wonder and beauty of the flower, or a sunset, or a river, or....

Twain ironically was one of the rare folks who could 'butter the parsnips' with that normally impractical exaltation of the divine sublime.
butter the parsnips
normally impractical
the divine sublime
You got me started on this, Buddy. Now I can't stop. I'm not angry. I'm just sayin'.
--o language, you is SUCH an intrigue --i did actually labor those two sets (not 'parsnips' --i think that may be a Churchill). But, already too late a night, already driving it in and breaking it off, so why not try to think up a synonym for the plain word 'normal'? Furthermore, since 'normal' is exactly the right word for 'normal', why scatter the meaning?
Well, normal is just not interesting, it's just not an interesting word, it's just too normal.
What? --"too" normal?
Whoa, doesn't that mean 'not normal enough'?
Yes but --oh heck --better have a slug of coffee and spark up a marlboro and muse some upon that English ineluctable modality of visible meaning --and also upon that inky apparition in silhouette over there cross coffee table beyond divan in the shadows round the window, the shabby, disheveled, worn-out doppelganger Myster Insomniak has now quit the Solitaire and being very still slowly inches his discard hand toward that damned butterfly net hanging on that damned moose head again
And you can no longer use the river for any of the things he saw back then. Don't try and live on it. Don't build anything around it (unless you are rich.) "The Road to Serfdom" talks about judging how free a society is by the activity. If you look at old pictures of life around a river, any river, the activity will astound you. Look at the same river now and it looks like an architect's drawing.
--by god, you're right --old pictures are just tumbling with river activity --now the riverside is like an art deco futurist drawing from the 30s --no people!
Twain, in my ever humble opinion, was and is the best American author. Sorry, nobody beats good old W. Shakespeare for best all world, English language author.
To what things can and cannot be done in this 'free' country. There are numerous former Soviet and East German residents who speak to the fact that America today is less free than the former east block was under communism. So, it's not a pretty picture.
I can tell you that a NJ resident was fined (heavily) and almost jailed for killing a rat several years ago. That's a fact. And I guess that says it all.
My image of a river has developed over many years. At first I saw it as a thing, like a hill or a tree. After giving it some thought I realized that it was a moving thing and was introduced to the notion that "no man can step in the same river twice" and that it was the water that was the river, and I saw the water as the thing. Years later, and many years ago I was driving through the southwestern desert, a flat unbroken plain with a line of brown hills in the far distance. The monotony was broken as the road dropped about 20' to another plane and then a signpost announced 'The Green River' and another dip of 20' or so. There was no water. There wasn't even a bridge. And then up 20' to a plane and up another 20' to the desert floor. Once every ten years or so there was water. So a river then became a place or a feature of the surface. It stayed so for many years but seemed incomplete. Add water and the river becomes an event in a place. This seemed to fit the temporal nature Heraclitus referred to. Then I began stretching the concept. A tree, a blade of grass became events. A particular description of cells at the junction of the sky and the ground. Just add water. Clouds are an event, as are storms, snow and rain. Raindrops. Snowflakes. Wind.
Wandering further, seemingly permanent features became events, hills and valleys, boulders and pebbles. Time went away and left only coincidence.

THE Empire State Building's owners are suing a photographer for taking topless pictures of a model on the public viewing deck without gaining permission. Photographer Allen Henson is being sued for $1.1 million for the pictures he took of model Shelby Carter, papers filed on Monday revealed.
"At the time the model entered, the observatory was crowded with visitors, including children," a legal representative for the landmark said in the lawsuit, filed in Manhattan's Supreme Court, The Telegraph reports.
The photographer, however, seemed shocked by the fuss that his impromptu shoot had caused.
"I don't think anyone even noticed really," Henson said. "You can see in the pictures that everyone is more interested in looking at the beautiful skyline."

How To Find An Oakville Real Estate Agent
Friday May 18th, 2018Share
Buying or selling a home is a big milestone. If you are looking for an Oakville real estate agent, you want to select someone that will help you get what you need and make the process as smooth as possible. Here are three simple steps to ensure that you get an Oakville real estate agent that has your best interest at heart, regardless of whether you are buying or selling – or both!
There are many real estate agents in Oakville, so finding the right one for you can feel a bit overwhelming. It is certainly worth taking the time to find an Oakville real estate agent that fits with your needs, as selecting the wrong agent can turn your real estate transaction into a very unpleasant experience. Fortunately, Sue Heddle Homes is an award winning real estate agent working with clients in Oakville, Burlington, Milton and Mississauga and can offer you some unique benefits and values that will add positivity to your real estate experience.
Three Steps To Finding Your Oakville Real Estate Agent
When you begin your search for an Oakville real estate agent, we suggest using these three steps to help you find the agent that is best for you the first time around.
1. Start With Research.
You can start by asking for referrals from friends, family and by doing your own research online. Even if you do get some possible referrals, make sure you still do your own research into the agent online. You can learn a lot about a potential real estate agent through a Google search and by taking a look at things like their Facebook page and website. Learning about the agent and their personality will allow you to determine whether or not they could be a fit.
2. Build Your List Of Questions.
You should always meet with any potential Oakville real estate agent in person before agreeing to have them represent you or your listing. When you meet for the first time, you can ask questions directly to the agent that will enable you to narrow down your choices. Some great questions to ask include:
• The type of listings they've had in the community.
• How they negotiate single or multiple offers.
• How many years of experience they have.
• How they manage the offer process (digital option or in person only).
• How they market their listings.
Ask as many questions as you might need in order to feel comfortable with them.
3. Find That Competitive Advantage.
It is a good idea to find an Oakville real estate agent that offers something other agents don't – a competitive advantage. Having a realtor that is prepared to go that extra mile can really make a big difference. Sue Heddle Homes offers free home staging to all clients and also uses 3D house tours as part of all online listings. You certainly want to find an agent that is up to date on the market and on the most effective ways to market your property and get you the best price possible.
Choosing Your Oakville Real Estate Agent
Now that you have collected facts and information about potential agents, the next step is to consider your own feelings and thoughts about each realtor you met with. You want to choose someone you will be comfortable working with and that you feel you can trust. If you follow the tips listed above, you will have a better chance of selecting the right real estate agent right from the start.
Sue Heddle Homes would be happy to meet with you to discuss your real estate needs. Feel free to contact us at 416-906-7998. We look forward to hearing from you.

Virtual Reality, Real Effects: Training and Changing People through Virtual ExperiencesSpeaker: Luca Chittaro – Udine, Italy
Topic(s): Graphics and Computer-Aided Design
AbstractThanks to the availability of new consumer hardware for virtual reality (VR), applications of immersive VR are accessible to an increasing number of users, and can also appeal to the general public, especially if they include gaming elements. In addition to entertainment, new VR hardware and software could be exploited to provide the user with experiences aimed at changing his/her attitudes and behaviors in the real-world. For example, people can use VR experiences to prepare themselves to face risky and/or stressful situations that can range from uncomfortable social interactions to life-threatening emergency situations. However, to claim that such VR experiences are practically relevant, one has to show that users respond to them in the way intended by the designer, and that such effects transfer from the virtual experience to the real-world. This talk will focus on different measurable aspects that include how the virtual experience is perceived by the user and the emotions it evokes, short-term and long-term memory retention, knowledge and training transfer, changes in important psychological variables such as individual self-efficacy and locus of control. The presented concepts and methods will be illustrated also with practical case studies of VR applications I have contributed to design, evaluate, and deploy.

Late Bottled Vintage Porto 2014
/ Douro Valley Porto
Grapes: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca
The wines used to produce Fonseca Late Bottled Vintage were drawn from a reserve of some of the best full bodied red ports produced during the 2012 harvest, from grapes grown on Fonseca's own vineyards and other top properties in the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior. These wines are aged in wood vats of 50 pipes (27,500 litres) capacity and then bottled after five years. A limited quantity of this outstanding blend was produced. Late Bottled Vintage is bottled when ready to drink. This port benefits from being decanted before serving, as it is not filtered when bottled.
Wine Advocate2014 vintage
Tasting Panel2014 vintage
harvest note
The spring preceding the 2014 harvest was warmer and wetter than average, resulting in an early bud burst. Flowering conditions were excellent and vegetative growth was healthy and vigorous. The abundant spring rains combined with a relatively cool start to the summer meant that the vines had plenty of access to water during the warm summer as well as very healthy, dense leaf canopies. As a result, the ripening of the grapes was gradual, balanced and complete. A spell of hot weather in the first week of September, followed by two days of rain, helped to complete and balance out the ripening. Wine makers notes refer to the crop as being one of the healthiest of recent years, producing musts with excellent phenolic and sugar ripeness.
tasting note
Very deep purple with a narrow magenta rim. The nose is tight, with impressive depth and background. The base of brooding dark berry fruit is laced with liquorice and dark chocolate. Fleeting balsamic, plummy notes emerge as the nose gradually opens up. On the palate, the wine has exceptional weight and volume, supported by a mesh of thick, dense tannins. Luscious blackberry jam and plum flavors surge through into a seemingly endless finish. A powerful and uncompromising Unfiltered Late Bottled Vintage retaining every ounce of aroma and flavor.
food pairing
Excellent with fully flavored cheeses, especially blue cheeses such as Stilton or Roquefort. It is also delicious with desserts made with chocolate or berry fruits.

about the grape +
Tinta Amarela
Tinta Amarela makes wines with intensely perfumed aromas of blackberry and tea, bold structure, deep color and excellent depth.
Tinta Barroca
Used to make Port wines, this high yielding grape has very high sugar content, which makes wines with pronounced floral character, good structure and firm, ripe tannins.
Tinta Cão
This grape has blackberry, game and meaty aromas, and contributes longevity and exceptional elegance to the blend of Port wines.
Tinta Roriz
Tinta Roriz produces deep-colored grapes of moderate acidity which make bold wines with firm tannins, excellent complexity and distinctive resin-like fragrance.
Touriga Franca
This grape has high tannins and is very aromatic; it lends structure and balance to Port wines. It shows intense fresh red fruit, earth and flower aromas, and is very fruity on the palate.
Touriga Nacional
Touriga Nacional produces wine with finesse, body and warmth that is dark, concentrated, massively tannic and aromatic. It ages to show the complex aromas typically found in mature vintage port.
– David Guimaraens, Winemaker

Latest on the VW diesel emissions scandal: 3.0-litre diesels involved, UK bosses could face 10-year imprisonment, petrol cars now involved
A further 85,000 Volkswagen Group vehicles could to be drawn into the ever-escalating emissions scandal, as Audi's US arm has admitted that the VW Group's 3.0-litre TDI V6 engines found in cars from the 2009 to 2016 model years contain software that was previously undisclosed to emissions authorities.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) previously said 3.0-litre TDI V6 units also contain software devices to lower emissions while testing, but VW was quick to deny these claims.
Now, VW has admitted its 3.0-litre diesel engines do come with an 'auxiliary emissions control device' that helps to boost emissions figures. An Audi spokesman has since confirmed the auxiliary device does not break European law, but should have been disclosed to the US Government.
The device is said to be found in cars like the Audi A6, A7, A8 and SUVs like the Q5, Porsche Cayenne and VW's Touareg. Audi spokesman Brad Stertz said: "We are willing to take another crack at reprogramming to a degree that the regulators deem acceptable. Stertz also said the cost of tweaking the software is in the "double digits millions of Euros."

Adiponectin Regulation in Type 2 Diabetic Rats: Effects of Insulin, Metformin and Dexamethasone

Adiponectin is a protein synthesized from adipose tissue, increases peripheral glucose utilization in liver and skeletal muscle. Adiponectin expression and secretion are decreased during obesity and insulin resistance. In this study, the effect of insulin, metformin and dexamethasone on serum lipid profiles was examined in Type 2 Diabetic (T2D) rats. T2D was induced by feeding rats a high fat diet for 4 weeks plus medium dose of Streptozotocin (STZ, 35 mk kg-1 BW). Adiponectin, adiponectin receptors (AdipoR-1 and AdipoR-2), leptin, Peroxisome Prolifrator Activated Receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), Hormone Sensitive Lipase (HSL), Pyruvate Kinase (PK), enolase and Glucose Trasporter-2 (GLUT-2) expression in epididymal adipose and liver tissue were examined using RT-PCR. Results showed that metformin improved insulin resistance by normalizing serum lipid profiles in diabetic rats, while dexamethasone did not alter it. Metformin up-regulated adiponectin, AdipoR-1 and AdipoR-2 expression, while insulin and dexamethasone down-regulated them. Leptin expression was decreased while PPARγ, HSL, PK, enolase and GLUT-2 expression was increased by metformin administration. Dexamethasone failed to improve insulin resistance in T2D rats. In conclusion, metformin ameliorates T2D through controlling adiponectin expression and its consequent genes of lipids and glucose metabolism.

Meyer and Garfoot win gold medals for Australia in Commonwealth Games time trial; Movistar trio Landa, Quintana, Valverde recon Tour de France cobblestones; Administration error costs English rider her place in Commonwealth Games TT; Porte, van Garderen continue to build at Tour du Finistère; La Vuelta announces four wildcard teams chosen for 2018 edition; Stefan Küng undergoes surgery on jaw fractured at Paris-Roubaix; U.S. amateur cyclist Dylan Lima accepts sanction for anti-doping rule violation; Video: Danny MacAskill & Claudio Caluori: Home of Trails; Video: Phil Gaimon's "Worst Retirement Ever." Taiwan KOM Challenge, Part 1: The journey
Stefan Küng has undergone successful surgery on a fractured jaw sustained in a crash at Paris-Roubaix on Sunday. Küng crashed before the first cobbled sector and was given six stitches in the race ambulance to close a wound on his chin, however X-rays taken at the Roubaix Centre Hospitalier that evening revealed a mandibular fracture (fractured jaw). Upon return to Switzerland, Küng was examined at the Kanton Spital Hospital in St. Gallen where surgery was decided as the best course of treatment.
BMC Racing Team Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Max Testa provided the following update: "After consulting the specialists at Kanton Spital Hospital, the surgical option was deemed the best treatment method to optimize the recovery of his injuries. The surgery was performed last night and went well and Stefan will probably go home today. He will now have a couple of easy weeks before rebuilding his training load. Stefan will be restricted to liquids and soft food for a while to minimize the movement of the jaw but he is able to speak. Stefan should be able to train on his home trainer in a few days and from there slowly build up and return to the road. We expect him to return to racing in five to six weeks but we will continue to monitor his recovery and alter his program accordingly."
Küng said he is motivated to get back on the bike as soon as possible. "I'm feeling good and I'm fortunate that these injuries are treatable and I'll be back on my bike soon," he said. "I want to thank Dr. Max Testa and the BMC Racing Team medical team, as well as the specialists here in St. Gallen for taking good care of me. I hope to be back racing as soon as possible."

Tomislav "Tom" Benzon taught himself how to play guitar in high school, winning his first band competition only two weeks after forming the band, at a time when Tom himself knew only a few chords.
The audacity and sheer determination behind this win is a theme seen over and over again, throughout Tom's career, which spans 25 years as a full time touring musician. A dynamic personality, Tom has organically lived his life by the principles behind "The Secret" since long before he even knew it was a thing with a name. He has played around the world with musicians like Jack Savoretti and Jooles Holland, and performed in films with the likes of Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp.
A few years ago, however, a motorcycle accident in the UK stopped Tom in his tracks. The long recovery process was a huge blow, forcing Tom to step back from his career. Now based in San Diego, California, he is working to regain his footing.
- "The Secret" and the idea that "If you want to try, go all the way."
- Picking yourself up after a big setback
- The importance of good friends who can remind you who you truly are in dark hours
- Why building genuine connections with others is a smart career move

Submitted Abstract
This application is for funding the research visit of an outgoing, senior researcher based in Luxembourg, Dr. Spero S.Z Paravantis. He is the PI of the CORE junior project BENELUX, which addresses the separation of European and Cold War historiographies by researching the impact that the US policy of containment had on the European Integration (EI) movement. Project BENELUX looks specifically at the Benelux region, and the role that US financial intervention (in support containment) had on EI from 1948 to 1960. This project sheds light on the question of the impact that the early Cold War American military and financial intervention in Western Europe had on the early European Integration movement by examining the reactions of the Benelux nations to those developments, the role the Benelux played in US containment strategy, and how the Benelux contributed to the development of a common European security strategy. As a Visiting Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, Institute of European Studies (IES), Dr. Paravantis' will 1- analyse the results of the US-based archival research for project BENELUX (to be completed in August 2017), 2- draft two of it's planned publications, 3- work on the edited volume of the contributions presented at the project BENELUX conference, held at the MSH BELVAL, on March 30 and 31 2017, and 4- give 2 lectures. In so doing, he will conduct the research and publishing objectives outlined in Project BENELUX, but they will now benefit by being performed under the guidance of senior US-based experts in International, Cold War and BENELUX history. This will allow for a much more knowledgeable exploitation of the archival resources, and greatly enhance the quality and visibility of his publications. Since this project examines US involvement in Europe, it is only natural to seek out a research visit at an American university which has an unmatched focus and profile in European studies. The IES at Berkeley is one of the biggest European studies departments in the US, and, considering that it is a strategic partner of the university of Luxembourg, is the perfect institution with which a research visit can be collaborated. Jeroen Dewulf, head of the IES and of its Benelux program will be the host of the researcher research visit, and he will also collaborate with co-host Mark Bevir, Professor of Political Philosophy and International Historians John Connelly, Daneil Sargent and Stefan Ludwig Hoffman. These Berkeley-based experts will provide invaluable feedback on the research findings thus far, and the drafting of his articles. They will be able to help the PI address any gaps in the US research, and consult with PI regarding additional sources. Working with these professors will also greatly enhance the quality, visibility and impact of the findings of project BENELUX, by getting their insight into the Benelux / US relationship, and incorporating them into the work that he will produce and present in Berkeley.

Skin the eel, cut in pieces as long as a finger and put in boiling salt water with a top of parsley. Use water enough to cover only half the fish, so the stock will be good and strong. Cook the eel until it is tender and keep it hot while making the sauce. Melt butter in a pot, brown a large onion and add flour and curry. Dilute with the fish stock until the sauce is thick enough. Taste it, and if it is not strong enough add more curry. Pour it over the eel, serve in a deep dish and have an extra dish of fluffy steamed rice. From "Danish Cookery" by Suzanne, Andr. Fred.

My Ipsy has arrived for the month of April. The bag itself is so dang cute so hopefully the items inside follow suit!
CIATÉ LONDON Starstruck Double-Ended Stamp Liquid Liner
While black eyeliner may not be the most exciting item, this one has a secret weapon. This dual ended product has a felt tipped liquid liner on one side and a star stamp on the other! Do I see myself rocking black stars on my face often? No, but once or twice could be fun! The conventional side has a thick tip, making it slightly difficult to get a precise line. It would be good for creating a dramatic wing however. This is not a life changing eyeliner but still a fun, FULL size product to receive.
FIRMA BEAUTY 202 Angled Blender
Always happy to gain another brush for my collection. I honestly cannot remember the last time I had to go out and purchase a makeup brush on my own, total perk of subscription services! This eye shadow brush is large and fluffy, making it ideal for blending color into your crease. Another full size item is a total hit.
PURLISSE BEAUTY Coconut Oil + Coffee Sugar Body Scrub
During the Spring and Summer, outfits become more and more revealing. Therefore having smooth skin is of crucial importance! This scrub will be perfect for prepping for self tanner to prevent streaking or patchiness. It smells amazing, just like coffee cake goodness. Do I wish it was a bigger size? Of course, but will still use it!
TRISSOLA Leave-in Conditioner
Another hit due to circumstance. A SMALL sample of leave in conditioner, which is one of the only hair products I really use, is still nice to receive. I am about to go on several vacations and this will be easy to throw in my luggage. This product doubles as a finishing cream for dry hair as well, which is how I plan to use it most.
AURORA 24H Lip Stain in "Soft Pink"
You gotta love a full size makeup item! This lipstain is a bright pink shade, "soft" does not seem fitting, not sure why they chose that name. This product really does stain your lips which makes them a bit dry in the process. Under a gloss though this wore beautifully throughout the day. It gives your lips that "just ate a popsicle look," a fun wash of color for your pout. Perfect for a no fuss summer look. The tip is super fine as well, allowing for accuracy.
Overall, not my favorite bag. It was just so-so, nothing mind-blowing but nothing I immediately want to throw in the trash either. Looking forward to seeing what next month has in store! What items did you get? Let me know down below!

Published: July 18, 2013 – By DANIEL GEIGER
The city's planning department released an amended version of its sweeping midtown
east rezoning plan on Thursday in an effort to address some of the concerns of a growing number of critics.
Prominent among the changes, is a proposal to allow residential units to take up to 20% of the space in the new generation of state-of-the-art office skyscrapers that the rezoning plan is designed to entice developers to erect. Developers could add even more residential units to a project, up to 40% of the new space that is built on a site, if they receive a special permit. The opportunity to build housing units will likely be an alluring option for developers of a new wave of major mixed-use towers on what have been predominantly commercial avenues.

Meet the Next Class of Inductees Into the Northern Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame
There is a new batch of inductees headed to the Northern Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame at their monthly meeting on January 21 at the Villa Hills Civic Club. The four individuals to be inducted this year have been recognized for their impressive athletic accomplishments in the area, either playing or coaching or both.
Wayne Keller
Ludlow native Wayne Keller will be inducted for his basketball officiating contributions to the area. After graduating from Ludlow High School, Keller joined the Northern Kentucky Official Association and began officiating pee-wee football. He has been an official since 1995.
Some of this officiating highlights include his participation as a back judge in the 2006 state final football game between Covington Catholic and Bowling Green. He was also selected to work the 2011 Northern Kentucky Senior All-Star Game, the 2013 6A state final game between Scott County and Meade County and numerous other playoff football games since 1998.
Keller currently serves as the announcer at the Ludlow High School Boys and Girls home basketball games and also serves as Vice-President of the Northern Kentucky Official Association.
Randy Wofford
Randy Wofford has been selected for the Hall of Fame for football, basketball, baseball, and coaching. Also a graduate from Ludlow High School, Wofford was a four-year starter in football and named to the Northern Kentucky All-Conference team twice. He led the area in receptions and punt-return yards and was third in scoring during his senior year. He was named to the All-A Coaches Team, was team MVP and made it to the Senior All-Star game as a tight end during his last year of high school.
Wofford was also named to the NKY All-Conference Team in both baseball and basketball as well when he became the only male athlete from Ludlow to play in three Senior all-star games.
As a coach, Wofford spent three seasons as a youth football coach and later an assistant coach for four seasons with Ludlow High School. In basketball, he was an assistant coach for eight seasons with the boys team and two with the girls. He became the Ludlow girls head basketball coach from 2009-2013 and won Coach of the Year in 2012. He then took over the boys head coaching spot in 2013 and still serves as that role today.
Victoria Keller Wofford
A third graduate of Ludlow High School has also made the cut for the Hall of Fame in Victoria Keller Wofford who played volleyball, softball, basketball and later coached.
A three year starter in volleyball, Victoria made the Northern Kentucky All-Conference first team, the Ninth Region All-Tournament Team, team MVP, and the Senior All-Star Game.

She made the 34th District All-Tournament team two years, was named to the NKY All-Conference first team, won the team MVP and Best Defense award and went on to play two years at Thomas More College.
In softball, Keller-Wofford was a three-year starter, made the NKY All-Conference third team and became the only female athlete from Ludlow to play in all three senior all-star games.

Here in the bay, 'making it' means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Whether we're making the next big app or going public with it, the area is bursting with ambitious people who are trying to revolutionize the way we interact with the world, each other, and the things around us. Yet, the metrics for this goal are fuzzy, and it might be healthy to take a step back and unpack that process of making it.Fortunately, Tash Wong brought those of us at TYPO SF through the process of making it with an engaging story, a beautiful slide deck, and killer use of emoji. Beginning with the notion of success, she noted that it's quite difficult to describe objectively. Does it mean buying a great home, starting the next "Facebook for (insert concept here)", or just having a lot of money in general?
Operating under this model, her startup Coastermatic serves as a useful case study; grown out of a class on entrepreneurial design at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, Coastermatic started with a simple premise: Instagram photos on high-quality, ceramic coasters. The idea took off, getting featured on TechCrunch, earning them around $10,000 in profits before they had graduated and – perhaps most importantly – fulfilling the requirements of that entrepreneurial design class that started it all.Tash pointed out that, for all intents and purposes, it would have seemed that they had done it – they had made it. Yet, their successes made way for an insight: maybe 'making it' changes over time, as people get married, grad theses deadlines creep up on you, and family plays an increasingly central role in life. On top of these shifting definitions of success, the reality of the aforementioned TechCrunch mention is a long period that Tash refers to as "the trough of sorrow." Product infrastructure runs into problems. The novelty of the product wears off. You start to recognize your weaknesses, and imposter syndrome (which Tash personified as the Fraud Police) sets in, causing you to question what it is you're doing.
Success suddenly seems a lot more complicated, doesn't it?Remember, though. This talk was all about taking a step back, and realizing that, despite the abundant creativity in your typical TYPO SF conference auditorium, we simply don't know what the future will hold. Problems will happen, and models will change (as demonstrated from our shift from the hierarchical organizations to more networked models – thanks for the heads up, Tash!) It might be worthwhile to focus on our day to day, celebrating the small successes and victories that carry us through our journey to "the promised land" of startups.
Living day to day might sound like a tall order (or at least, a vague one), but Tash guides us along the way. Her major tips were to remember that:
- Everyone has the same amount of time, so figure out what your priorities are, and make the time to fulfill those priorities. Stay a little uncomfortable, and keep working at things that matter to you.
- Find a great community and all-star coaches to keep yourself inspired, motivated, and accountable. Join a listserv, find a meetup, and stay involved – remember that network that we were talking about earlier?
- Know the power of your personal narrative. While problems will arise no matter what (the best laid plans and all), its your decision to focus on the outcomes of those problems, and not the problems themselves. Think about how you're working through those problems instead of drowning in them.
Making it takes a lot of work – but that's half the excitement, right? When embarking on your entrepreneurial journey, get ready to lean in, power through the uncertainty, and – in the spirit of the conference, focus. You're gonna make it.

Certified Nutritionist Continues Family's Good Health Quest
Jan 03, 2016 09:01AM
By Sheila Julson
Langlois' Vital Nutrition Center, in Wauwatosa, is a pioneer in Milwaukee's natural health movement. Health visionaries Les and Bertha Langlois, who founded the store in 1946 as Langlois' Health Food Marts, were followers of nutritionist Paul Bragg (of the Bragg live foods line).
The couple began by selling natural remedies such as liver tablets, dehydrated beet tablets, alfalfa pills, herbal teas, sugar-free foods, salt-free foods, many varieties of honey, sprouted bread and gluten-free products at their store. Today, Les and Bertha's grandson Jeffrey Langlois, a certified nutritionist, traditional doctor of naturopathy and certified nutritional consultant, continues their mission of offering healthy products to the community, as well as nutrition consultations and health education.
Growing up, Langlois occasionally helped his grandparents at the store. Despite the exposure to the health food industry, he experienced hereditary medical problems and often had colds and other illnesses. He failed to get answers from doctors, and his poor health continued into adulthood.
Jeffrey attended The University of Wisconsin-Madison, earning a bachelor's degree in business administration. While pursuing a master's degree in business, his grandmother died. "Grandma was the heart of the business," Langlois reflects. With his persistent health issues, along with knowing that relatives were going to sell the family business, he returned to Milwaukee in 1983 and purchased the store from his grandfather and his aunt.
For the first 15 years, Langlois diligently researched vitamins, supplements and healthy foods, and tried most of them. "I experimented on myself," he says, laughing. "I tried every diet and all different vitamins, and I finally got better. I decided to go back to school." In May 2000 he became a certified nutritional consultant, and in 2002, a certified nutritionist.
Still thirsty for knowledge, Langlois earned more wellness certifications over the years and became a traditional doctor of naturopathy in 2010, which he notes is different than a naturopathic physician that can diagnose, draw blood and do minor surgery. "Doctor means teacher," he says. "What I am is a teacher of health. I teach how to build health. We don't treat any diseases, but we teach health so the body can fix itself."
Langlois now offers nutritional consulting as part of the retail business. Along with Certified Nutritional Consultant Drew Detzner, who joined Langlois' Vital Nutrition Center in 2005, they offer people a chance to improve their health through diet and individualized nutritional programs addressed to each person's needs.
In his 32 years in the business, Langlois has seen many changes, particularly fad supplements and vitamins, as well as slick marketing that can confuse people. "Just because you label something as an energy pill doesn't mean it's going to give you energy," he notes. "There are a lot of people looking for magic bullets, and there are a lot of great supplements, but the bottom line is that everybody is unique. To self-diagnose and blindly start taking supplements is wasting money. One needs to know his or her own biochemical individuality." Langlois' Vital Nutrition Center helps people make better choices pertaining to their own individual health improvement goals.
"We carry things that we'd take ourselves; products that have a therapeutic or health enhancing effect," Langlois says. "We do a lot of research about the products we carry." In the store, customers will find unusual supplements, healthy snacks, pure skin care products and books, with attentive service from the staff. Langlois provides nutrition education through an informative blog on the website and he and Detzner give monthly talks covering different health topics.
Langlois is inspired when he hears people tell him in person or in written testimonials that they have more energy, sleep better and notice improved mood due to his guidance. "Good health has a wide range of impact, because it not only effects the person, but also people in their immediate family. If someone is sleeping better and has more energy, they're going to have better relationships."
The Langlois' Vital Nutrition Center retail store is located at 8843 W. North Ave., in Wauwatosa; office at 8841 W. North Ave. For more information, call 414-453-8289 (retail) or 414-453-4070 (office) or visit VitalNutritionCenter.com.
Sheila Julson is a freelance writer and regular contributor to Natural Awakenings magazine.

Conducted with information gathered from 2,626 aborigines in remote parts of Australia, the study also suggests doctors should recommend lower BMIs for some groups than for others. Whites, for example, appear to be somewhat less sensitive to the unhealthy effects of excess weight than blacks and various indigenous populations around the world.
A report on the findings appears in the June issue of the journal Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, which has just been published. Lead author is Dr. Mark Daniel, assistant professor of health behavior and health education at the UNC School of Public Health.
"We calculate people's body mass index by dividing their weight in kilograms by their height in meters squared," said Daniel, also an assistant professor of epidemiology. "The resulting number, which is considered to range from 20 to 25 in healthy people, is a better indicator of how much extra weight a person carries around as fat than their weight alone because, obviously, people of the same ages and weights vary considerably in height."
In the new study, Daniel worked with Drs. Kevin Rowley of the University of Melbourne, Robyn McDermott of the Tropical Public Health Unit of Queensland Health in Cairns and Kerin O'Dea of the Menzies School of Health Research in Darwin. They examined Australian aborigines in 15 remote settlements since diabetes and the impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) that precedes it have grown as health threats almost worldwide. Areas studied ranged from central desert regions of the Outback to lands subject to tropical monsoon rains in the north.

Earlier this week, many of us "gained" an hour as clocks across the U.S. returned to Standard Time. And while you might have been grateful for the extra hour of sleep, it's possible transitions to and from Daylight Saving Time may affect cognitive health and behavioral health.
Health Effects of Daylight Saving Time Changes
Since it was first instituted, the benefits of Daylight Saving Time have been debated. Proponents point to the potential energy savings and modest increases in public safety.
More recently, scrutiny regarding the possible negative effects of the time change on our health has increased. And research has shown at least two of these effects — disruptions to sleep cycles and increased incidences of unipolar depressive episodes — can have an impact on cognitive health.
Disrupted Sleep Cycles
Many people can provide subjective evidence of the time change disrupting sleep cycles, but a 2008 study quantified the effects. The study found transitions out of Daylight Saving Time increased restlessness during the night and reduced sleep efficiency by nearly 6%. Also, this study found that the time change in the fall was particularly disruptive to the sleep cycles of early-risers.
Increased Depression
A separate study published in 2017 looked at nearly 20 years of data to observe trends for depressive episodes following the transitions in and out of Daylight Saving Time. Researchers found an 11% increase in depressive episodes following the transition from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time each autumn. This increase was seen to dissipate over 10 weeks.
The Value of Regular Cognitive Assessment
As patients visit your practice this fall, be alert to changes in behavioral and cognitive health. Besides the potential for Daylight Saving Time to affect cognitive health, other seasonal ailments — such as Seasonal Affective Disorder — can impair life function, including concentration and cognitive efficiency.
With comprehensive cognitive health solutions from BrainCheck, physicians can set a baseline for their patients with an initial cognitive and behavioral assessment, as well as track the progressions and improvements in function with follow-up assessments. BrainCheck can also offer guidance for providing custom cognitive care plans for patients diagnosed with cognitive impairment.
