Not a good set

Get to know… Olympic fencer Dima Chumak
DARIEN — For a few hours every Sunday, the second floor of the Darien VFW building on Noroton Avenue is transformed into a studio for the Darien Fencing Club.
At a recent session, two pairs of crouching young fencers, dressed in face masks and chest protectors, squared up. The junior swordsmen shuffled forward and back strategically. Each waited with sword-arm outstretched for the opportunity to strike with a lunge of the blunted blade, before retreating to ward off the opponent's counter attack.
The back-and-forth clinking of metal swords was overseen by Dima Chumak — a former Olympian and member of the Ukrainian National fencing team — who stooped his 6-foot-3 inch frame to illustrate matters of form and technique, or — as in one instance — console a student at the receiving end of a well-executed jab.
It was near the conclusion of seven-year-old Robert Evanchik's first lesson when an older classmate sprang forward and, with a thrust of his weapon, connected with Evanchik's chest protector. Evanchik, surprised by the suddenness of the strike, began to well up with tears. Chumak propelled into action and calmed the boy with defensive instruction and words of encouragement.
As a consequence of the pep-talk, those tears were short-lived.
Seemingly unfazed by the recent blow, Evanchik regrouped and squared with his much larger opponent, who met the first-timer in the middle of the combat area to begin again.
More Information
For more information on Darien Fencing Club, visit darienfencingclub.com or call 203-539-6359.
"Ready, fence," the older boy declared.
Evanchik's mother, Susan Kindle, who was observing the lesson, had heard about the fencing club from a friend of Robert's.
"I didn't know much about fencing," said Kindle, who added that Evanchik participates in a lot of team sports. "It seems like a good one-on-one sport. It's almost like a chess game."
The strategic nature of fencing, Chumak explained, has to do with a need to control one's footwork and one's blade, as well as the distance from one's opponent, in order to protect the body and set up offensive opportunities. A buzzer sounds and points are won when the compressed tip of a blade makes contact with an adversary's padding.
According to Chumak and Jeffrey Binder, a New York attorney who opened the club a decade ago after his children showed a proclivity for the sport, interest in fencing is on the rise in America.
"For sure, it's a very big increase in popularity, even since 10 years ago," said Chumak, though the sport's popularity in this country does not yet rival that in his native Ukraine. Some of that escalating interest, Chumak suggested, may have to do with parents realizing the value that a background in fencing adds to a young person's college application.
"It's very good for not just your arms, legs and brain," Chumak explained. "A lot of good colleges have fencing." Former students of his have gone on to compete at Columbia and Cornell. Binder's daughter, Sylvie, a hopeful for the 2020 Olympics, was recently accepted to Columbia on a fencing scholarship.

"Cancer" is still one of those words that can steal your breath, ring so loudly in your ears that your surroundings go silent, and simultaneously make your mind race and time slow to a crawl.
The disease crept into our home March 2013 when my dad was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic adenocarcinoma….
I'll never forget the look on his face. Anger, confusion, sadness, and fear. Why did this have to happen to him? He didn't deserve this.
Dad got four cycles of chemotherapy. The fourth cycle was probably the worst as I think the cumulative effects of the drug became apparent…. Lost all his body muscles, osteoporosis, 5 spine fractures… He was operated on 21st January for Kyphoplasty to ease the pain as morphine had no more effect… He was too weak to recover….
My dad passed away this January 23rd. It seemed really sudden, but at the same time, almost perfect timing. He stayed alive long enough to see my brother who came 2 days earlier from South Korea. I think at that moment he was finally content and happy, and he no longer felt the need to hold on. What is helping get through it though, is knowing that he is not suffering anymore, and remembering him for all the good he has done, keeps dad alive in our hearts and no person or illness can take that away.
Today, the incidence of cancer worldwide is growing at an alarming pace, and there is an urgent need to implement strategies to prevent and curb the disease, according to a report from the World Health Organization.
New cancer cases will skyrocket globally from an estimated 14 million in 2012 to 22 million new cases a year within the next two decades, the report says. During that same period, cancer deaths are predicted to rise from an estimated 8.2 million annually to 13 million a year.
The estimates and predictions are in a new report, from the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the specialized cancer agency of the World Health Organization (WHO). The project is a collaboration of more than 250 leading scientists from more than 40 countries.
There's a need for access to effective and affordable cancer treatments in developing countries, including for childhood cancers, which would significantly reduce mortality, the report says.
The total annual cost globally of cancer was estimated to reach approximately $1.16 trillion in 2010, which is damaging the economies of even the richest countries and is way beyond the reach of developing countries, the report says.

How To Become a Profitable Entrepreneur The Smart Way:
Our Favorite Strategy for Avoiding the Risk of a Startup, and Purchasing an
Instantly Profitable Business with Little to No Money Out of Your Pocket.
Our "6-Year Millionaire" Strategy Example (Video and Text below) Will Teach You The Exact 3 Steps That Thousands Of Entrepreneurs Have Used To Become Successful And Profitable Business Owners.
We are going to dive deeper into the details of this strategy and more! Got questions? We'll also answer all of them in our upcoming FREE Workshops. Click below to join
If you prefer text instead of video, or need further instructions,
then continue reading below.
Locate a business for sale with a motivated seller and consistent cash flow of $200,000 per year after management's wages are paid.
This can be just about any business type including:
- Independent or franchise business
- Fast food restaurant
- Distribution company
- Manufacturing plant
- Service provider
- And more….
You will buy this company for a multiple of 3 to 5 times the cash flow
- This means you multiply the annual cash flow of the business by somewhere between 3 and 5, and this is the price you should purchase the business at.
- This would make the purchase price between $600,000 and $1,000,000
- Note: We'll use $800,000 as an example to be safe, but keep in mind that you could get it for even less.
- You should be able to obtain Small Business Administration (SBA) guaranteed loan in the amount of 75% of the purchase price.
- A good bank will also give you an additional SBA Express Line of Credit of $50,000 – $100,000 for working capital.
- The remainder will be financed by the seller in the form of a promissory note
Cash Flow during Seller Note (1st 3 Years)
Cash Flow after Seller Note is paid off
Please note that in a company of that size you should also be inheriting a management salary in the range of $70,000 – $150,000 per year
So you do not need to rely only on the excess cash of the business to live on
How does that become 1 Million Dollars?
Remember…it's not magic. It's Math
- You simply manage the business, as well as the seller did in the past
- The business continues to provide $200,000 in cash flow
- You make your financing payments with cash to spare
- When you have paid off the seller note, you can choose to use that excess cash to accelerate your bank payments on the SBA loan and have it paid off in less than 6 years, or ride it out and have it paid of in 7 years.
- You will then own the business free and clear and have a net worth of ONE MILLION DOLLARS
- You can sell the business for one million dollars (cash flow of $200,000 times a multiple of 5 = $1,000,000)
- Or you can keep it, hire someone to run it, and relax with the annual profits as distributions
What happens if the business grows even just slightly?
- If over those six years, you are able to increase the revenues and the cash flow of the business by only 4% to 5% per year
- The business will now have a cash flow of $250,000 to $280,000
- Using the same multiple as we used previously, the value of the business is now $1,250,000 or more ($250,000 x 5 = $1,250,000)
Again, you have the option of . . .
- Selling your business for a large amount of cash
- Keep the business, hire a good manager and continue to collect a very nice paycheck each week for simply overseeing management and monitoring critical numbers
Personal Income Example
- Management Salary
- $100,000 per Year
- Excess cash in the business
- $50,000
- Subtract funds needed for working capital, expansion….etc
- -$30,000
- Available cash for additional "bonus" distribution to owner
- $20,000
- Total Income to Owner: $120,000 per year
This is a tried and true model at the Institute for Business Acquisitions.
Our founder has been following this exact strategy for over 30 years to accumulate a very significant net worth, while having plenty of time to enjoy life along the way.
Best of all, you can do this with very little cash out of your pocket!
This may sound far-fetched, but deals like this are accomplished everyday
You simply need the skills, know-how and desire!
If you consider 1 Million "rich", then this process is absolutely a "How to Get Rich" strategy, but it is not necessarily a "Get Rich Quick" process. I consider it a "Get Rich Safe, Get Rich Smart" strategy.
If this interests you, and you think you have the skills and experience to manage a business, but still have some questions… click the link below on this page to join one of our FREE workshops, where we dive deeper into the strategy and answer all of your questions.
Thank You and Enjoy!
Did you know that only 2% of Americans are financially secure at age 65? That's right, 98% of the people will be dependent on the government or their families to live out their retirement years. One third of all American families have zero money set aside for retirement.
We want you to be a part of the 2% who have a financially secure future. I hope the information above has been helpful.
We hope to see you at the Workshop

A ridge of high pressure present across most of the country will be responsible for intense heat across portions of the eastern US or at least above average temperatures. Combine that with humidity and instability in the environment and that will allow for thunderstorms to develop, thus making for a toasty yet unsettled weekend for many across this part of the country.
High temperatures across the East will range from up to 10 degrees above normal across most of the Midwest, Great Lakes, and from the Gulf Coast through the interior Northeast. Meanwhile the Southeast and portions of the East Coast will feel quite nice with temperatures closer to slightly below average.
High temperatures in the 80s and 90s will be commonplace for most on Saturday. While the Northern Plains and the Mid-Mississippi River Valley bakes with temperatures into the 90s, storms and cloud cover will keep portions of the central Midwest cooler yet still in the 80s.
Not only will it be hot but it will also be humid. Dew points will generally range from 65 to 75 degrees across the eastern US. The only exception is across coastal sections of the Mid-Atlantic where the air mass will feel quite pleasant thanks to dew points in the 50s to low 60s, which is quite unusual for mid-July. Dew points of this magnitude will reach as far south as the Raleigh, North Carolina area.
As an almost daily occurrence in the South during the summertime, hit or miss showers and thunderstorms will pop up across the Gulf Coast states as well as into the Mid-Mississippi River Valley during the afternoon before dissipating in the evening thanks to the sunshine and instability. An easterly wind coming off of the Atlantic Ocean will stabilize the atmosphere and prevent much convection from occurring, however, in the Mid-Atlantic and the Carolinas.
Into the Midwest, especially the greater Chicago area, flash flooding will be a concern on Saturday as heavy rain and thunderstorms affect the region during the morning hours before a separate area of thunderstorms forms to the south and east during the latter half of the day.
Interior portions of the Northeast, including northern New England, may also have to dodge showers and storms, mainly in the afternoon. There may even be a few isolated storms that produce damaging winds and small hail in portions of New York and Pennsylvania thanks to wind shear crossing through overhead.
On Sunday, the heat will build over the Southern Plains as the dome of high pressure drifts to the west, allowing for widespread high temperatures into the upper 90s to low 100s. Temperatures to the north and east will also be quite toasty into the 80s and 90s in the Midwest, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South, and Southeast.
Meanwhile in the Northern Plains and interior Northwest, the first of two cold fronts will allow for relief from the heat, cooler temperatures down to over 10 degrees below average in some locales. Since it is July, however, it will still be mild with high temperatures in the 70s to low 80s.
Dew points, or humidity, will increase across the Eastern Seaboard on Sunday, especially in the Mid-Atlantic where on Saturday the dry air made the heat bearable. Now while it will increase, it won't be dramatic. This added moisture will bring that feels-like temperature up by a few degrees.
No question more storms develop across parts of the eastern US on Sunday. Multiple clusters of rain and thunderstorms will already be present by daybreak on Sunday, including across interior portions of the Northeast and back into the Mid-Mississippi River Valley. The convective activity won't be as widespread as on Saturday with storms becoming more isolated across the Southern Tier — except for the Florida Panhandle and southern Georgia — while storms become a bit more common from the Ohio River Valley through southern New England.
Flash flooding will be a concern with some of these storms, especially in the Midwest region. There may also be a severe component to a few of the storms in the northern Mid-Atlantic and southern New England regions. The main risk will be damaging winds with any of these storms that turn severe thanks to the wind shear present in the atmosphere.
A more substantial cold front will be responsible for big changes in the weather across the eastern US by mid-next week, bringing a more widespread area of storms to the midwestern US on Monday, then to the East Coast on Tuesday. Seasonable temperatures and drier air will then follow for the latter half of the week, but the pattern will remain active across the nation's midsection.

why do they call it the world series
Why do we call the final baseball series, the World Series? Fred asked: We play the World Series in the USA but no teams we play are outside the United States. Also how did the World Series get it's name? Rick answered: Fred, thank you for your question. The following information is provided by: In 1904, Reach Guide reported on the first official "World Championship Series", played in 1903, using a name first coined in 1886 by the Spalding(of athletic equipment fame) Baseball Guide, in reference to the post-season game between Chicago and St. Louis. Spaldings editor noted that since both teams were already "Champions of the United States" in their respective leagues, the winner of the post-season games would be "world" champions, hence the "World Championship Series". Spalding continued to refer to post-season games by this name, adding that as other nations embraced baseball, their winning teams would participate in the playoffs, turing the "World's Championship Series" into a reality. Although this never happened, the name remained in use, becoming shorter as time passed. This was most evident in the Reach and Spalding Guides, both of which referred, over the years, to the "World's Series" and eventually the "World Series".
In the 1930's, these guides merged, ceasing publication in 1941, when they were replaced by The Sporting News Guide, who used "World's Series" from 1942 through 1963, switching to the "World Series" in 1964. Yours in baseball,
So, first, a little history of Major League Baseball that will help you understand. The rules of the modern game were first codified by a club of New Yorkers in 1845, the Knickerbockers. Their rules made the game faster than base-ball games had been up to that point (the three strikes rule and the fair/foul rule were significant improvements), and the popularity of the game spread rapidly, and was solidified as a national game when soldiers during the Civil War taught it to each other and to prisoners. Even before the war, organized baseball clubs were being formed around the country and became a popular spectator sport. Fans started being charged admission for the more popular teams, and once money was in the mix, it wasn t long before team organizers saw the value in getting better players on their teams, and started paying the best players salaries (under the table, of course).
It wasn t until 1869 that the Cincinnati Reds became openly professional (and went on to win every game until finally losing in 1870. which basically wrecked the popularity of the team). But the Reds had shown that people would pay to see an openly professional team, and soon other teams became openly professional, and formed the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players. The National Association existed from 1871-1875, and was dominated by the Boston Red Stockings (who were basically the same team as the 1869 Cincinnati Reds, and would ultimately become the Boston, then Milwaukee, and now Atlanta Braves). The league was plagued by inconsistent scheduling, players hopping from team to team, and questionable competitive integrity (professional ball players made good money, but not so much that they wouldn t take money from gamblers to intentionally lose a game). In 1876 several team owners came together and decided to change the power structure by forming the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs, which had strict rules for admission, mandated that teams play a complete schedule (and in the early years they expelled teams that didn t complete their schedule), imposed harsh rules restricting player movement (that would remain in place until after the 1975 season), and banished for all time any player found to have intentionally lost a game.
It was so successful that before a decade had passed a competitor league, the American Association had formed, and quickly became popular due to their lower ticket prices, willingness to play on Sundays, and sale of alcohol to fans. By 1884 they were a legitimate challenge to the superiority of the National League, and the two leagues agreed to have their respective champions play each other at the end of the season. So, at this point baseball was only played professional in the United States, so the series was legitimately considered the world championship of professional baseball, and thus called the World s Championship Series, later colloquially shorted to World s Series and ultimately World Series. This continued until 1890, when the players rebelled against management s restrictive practices and formed their own league, the Players League.
Unfortunately, three leagues were too many for the country, and the Players League folded after one season, while the American Association collapsed a year later. The National League absorbed the best teams from two leagues, and for a few years in the 1890s the top two teams in the league played each other for the Temple Cup. In 1901 Ban Johnson converted the minor league Western League into the major league American League, and after two years of war with each other, the AL and NL agreed to cooperate and play a postseason series against each other, which again incorporated the World Series name, though that wasn t official at first. So, the TL,DR version is: it was the World s Championship Series when it was first established, and at the time it was an appropriate name because nobody else played professional baseball. By the time other countries (most notably Japan) started playing high level professional baseball, the World Series name was already established as the name of the Major League Baseball championship, and is only thought of as that.

On May 21 in Washington, the cause for canonization of Father Vincent Capodanno, who died heroically in Vietnam on September 4, 1967, was officially opened.
"Stay calm, Marine...God is with us all today."
Ray Harton remembers the September day when Father Capodanno, a military chaplain, reassured the wounded Marine. The chaplain had been seriously wounded himself.
"Just by him touching me, I believe that really had something to do with me still being here. I do believe that the second Father Capodanno leaned over and touched me, that was God touching me through him," he said. "When he said 'Stay calm, someone would be there to help and God is with all of us there that day,' I believe he was – through Father Capodanno."
Minutes later, Father Capodanno was called to minister to another fallen soldier. Machine gun fire killed them both.
Read the whole story here.
Father Capodanno, Servant of God, pray for us.

The last three decades in the surgical
world have been defined by an explosion
in the number and type of procedures
performed by minimally invasive surgery.
This drive has been enabled by the
sustained development of a wide array of
innovative medical devices, from trocars
and endoscopes to tissue approximation
devices such as neoClose (neoSurgical,
Galway, Ireland) and clip applicators
such as Endo Clip (Covidien, North Haven, CT). The emergence of the surgical
robot in recent years has had a dramatic impact on minimal access surgery,
raising the bar in terms of technological
advancement. To date, however, the introduction of novel devices designed specifically
for use with robotic surgery has lagged behind
the development of instruments for conventional laparoscopy.
The da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive
Surgical Inc, Sunnyvale, CA) has been at the
forefront of robotic surgery since its clearance by the FDA in 2000. This breakthrough
technology offers a number of advantages
over conventional laparoscopy including 3D
visualization, greater dexterity, physiologic
tremor filtration and improved ergonomics (1).
The da Vinci® camera platform also restores
natural hand-eye coordination, making instrument manipulation more intuitive (1). These
impressive developments allow the surgeon to
perform more precise dissections and anastomoses which are not feasible with conventional
laparoscopic instruments.
There has been a marked increase in the
volume of robot-assisted procedures performed over the last number of years. The
number of robotic procedures nearly tripled
between 2007 and 2009, from 80,000 to
205,000 ( 2). Intuitive Surgical reported afurther increase in 2010, with 278,000 da Vin-ci® procedures being performed. To ensurethat this escalation continues into the future,convergence of robotic systems with the latesttechnological advances in conventional lapa-roscopy will be required. Laparoscopic devicesthat are customized forthe surgical robot willbe necessary to ensurelow complication rateswhile also facilitatingshorter proceduraltimes. This techno-logical convergencewill likely establishrobot-assisted surgeryas the standard of carefor a broader spec-trum of patients andprocedures, expandingthe scope of minimalaccess surgery.
In addition to the well-documented benefits
of minimally invasive surgery, there are also
a small number of complications. One of
these is port site herniation, which can lead
to morbidity due to small bowel strangulation
( 3). An important risk factor for herniation
is trocar size, with a consensus that all ports
of 10 mm or greater should be closed ( 3, 4).
Smaller ports should also be closed if they
have been subjected to extensive manipulation
( 4). Compared with conventional laparoscopy,
robotic surgery has resulted in an increase in
the number and size of ports required for some
procedures, such as gynecologic laparoscopy
( 5, 6). Additionally, increased manipulation of
ports is often necessary. Combined with the
extended oblique positioning of ports which is
facilitated by the robotic platform, this can lead
to enlargement of port sites. These factors have
led to the concern that an increased port site
hernia rate may be introduced. Fascial closure
at da Vinci 5 mm and 8 mm trocar sites should
therefore be considered where extensive manipulation or extended oblique positioning of
trocars has occurred, while the 12 mm camera
port should always be closed.
Pediatric surgery is expected to benefitsubstantially from the surgical robot, sincethe technological advantages are particularlysignificant when working on the small anatom-ic structures of children. A recent systematicreview of pediatric robotic surgery coveringthe period from 2001 to 2012 indicated anoverall trend of increasing volumes and anincrease in the complexity of procedures beingreported over time ( 7). With the likelihood thatthis trend will continue, an effective method ofport closure is required for use with da Vinci®trocars in the pediatric population. Closure ofall da Vinci trocar sites will safeguard againstthe increased risk of herniation in children dueto weakness of the abdominal wall musclesand the smaller size of the bowel and anatomicstructures ( 8, 9).
Bariatric surgery, particularly Roux-en-Y
gastric bypass, has also been highlighted as an
area that is likely to benefit significantly from
the use of robotic systems ( 10, 11). This is due
to increased dexterity which facilitates intra-corporeal suturing for intestinal anastomoses.
Robotically sutured anastomoses are suggested to have a lower leak rate compared with
anastomoses stapled laparoscopically ( 10, 11).
The robotic approach is also associated with
a shorter hospital stay compared with laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass ( 10). Since
high BMI has been established as a risk factor
for port site herniation ( 12, 13), fascial closure
of all da Vinci port sites should be considered
in the bariatric population. This will help to
maintain complication rates at a minimal level
as the number of robotic bariatric procedures
increases in the future.
Due to the requirements for fascial closure
during robotic surgery, there is an unmet
clinical need for an effective and quick method
of closing the fascia at da Vinci 12 mm, 8 mm
and 5 mm trocars. This closure method must
be suitable for use in pediatric and bariatric
populations. One device which is currently
being used for port site approximation in
conventional laparoscopy is neoClose.
Such a device, customized for use with the
surgical robot, may provide a solution to this
unmet need.
Robotic surgery currently has a high capital
cost, with installation of the da Vinci System
having a price tag in excess of $1 million.

The summer of 2017 so far has been chalk full of exciting developments in the intriguing world of tansportation and air quality here in California. Just a quick once over below, in case ya missed it...
Surprise! CARB has again thrown down the regulatory gauntlet, this time on warranty enhancements for new truck sales in California, ZEV Sales requirements for HD Truck OEMs, cold storage limits for TRUs, enhanced maintenance procedures for existing equipment and lower opacity levels for the entire fleet over 10,000pds GVWR.
CARB has also begun the dialogue on controlling emissions from freight facilities. Most people familiar with the concept call it what it is: "Facility Caps" where a private business may require users of said facility to install specific levels of control technology because the state says they need to stay under a "cap".
This all comes along with a brand spankin' new CARB enforcement policy that after many discussions with stakeholders across many different industry sectors, will be adopted this September, probably with little fanfare, despite, or maybe because of, all the hard work by CARB enforcement staff.
While the cold storage rule is "on ice" during the current public outreach phase, a very near future rulemaking will set the stage for control measures that will phase in the use of zero emissions TRU technologies starting sometime in 2020. It is no secret that the goal for the state transportation sector is zero emissions with near zero emissions everywhere else.
Of course, in that vein and not to be outdone, the proverbial mother of all plans, the Sustainable Freight Action Plan under the direction of no less than 7 state agencies (that we know of) is gaining momentum on its way to fulfilling the Governor's goal of reducing GHG 40% below 1990 levels and reducing petroleum use up to half from current levels by 2030.
The concepts attempt to integrate advanced technologies, alternative fuels, freight and fuel infrastructure and local economic development opportunities.
Speaking of electric eyes, the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have also recently released the latest version (3.2?) of their Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP), where their collective electric eye is set on an entirely zero emission fleet starting in 2035.
In the interim, all new trucks entering LA/LB drayage service in "early 2018" will need to have a vehicle equipped with an engine meeting the USEPA 2014 engine standard. Then, in 2023, all new trucks entering port service for the first time will need to meet the ultra-low NOx standard, with all other non ultra-low NOx engines being charged a "rate" that will be billed to the cargo owner or shipper.
The only snag in this otherwise genius plan is that legally, the ports of LA/LB cannot mandate a particular level of NOx control on engines in port service until the EPA certifies a national or California only engine to that standard of control (More Info), the 2035 ZEV date is a different story all together.
The efforts of our air regulators are always evolving and continually changing, or at least, it feels like they are. More often than not the standards have not changed, it is interpretation or implementation of the standards, which leave many fleet operators with little confidence in a system that only seems to take and rarely has anything to give.
Measures to reduce harmful pollutants in California will not subside, the Golden State has a history of getting its way when it comes to environmental protection and the Trump administration will be hard pressed to slow it down. Get used to it my fellow Californians; at least the weather is nice!
