Can you believe summer is over? It's the most bittersweet feeling ever, because it's time to put our maxi dresses and bikinis away and trade them in for sweater weather. Fall is my favorite! One of my favorite shops, which was a college staple of mine, Charlotte Russe has the best selection of dresses to transform your closet from summer to fall. Charlotte Russe brings me back to my good ol' fun college days, when it was just me and the girls and not a worry in the world. Charlotte Russe was and remains our spot to shop for girl's night out.
Did someone say GIRLLLLLLS NIGHT?!
Every year as summer comes to an end my best friends throw the best "Cheers to Summer" party, where we start celebrating during the day at Piedmont Park and end at our favorite restaurant for a girl's night out. So how do you dress for an all-day party with your besties?! Check out below how I wore some of my favorite Charlotte Russe pieces from day to night.
Day Party:
It's still 84 degrees in Atlanta during the day, and yes; I still wear white after Labor Day, and this angelic white ruffle-trim lace up maxi dress is perfect for a day party at the park for mimosas and brunch with the girls.
You can shop my favorite maxi dresses below for any casual day party from Charlotte Russe.
Now, as seasons change here in Atlanta, you can never predict whether it's sweater weather or not. So, I totally suggest you always bring a sweater to throw over your shoulders, or to layer over your dress so you're always ready for this sweater weather.
My go-to for fall is always a cute sweatshirt dresses, and I fell in love with this comfortable balloon sleeve sweatshirt dress from Charlotte Russe. I can use this sweatshirt dress as a transitional piece too, check out how I styled it below and other sweatshirt dresses that are great transitional pieces to have for fall; #WINNING!
It's that time to throw on a cute bootie and dress to rock out all night with your girls. We start our night with dinner at our favorite restaurant ECCO and I always bring balloons and a cake that reads, " 'Til Next Year, Summer." So how did I use my sweatshirt dress to transition to night? EASY! After I used it to layer over my white maxi, I take off the maxi and BOOM! -the sweater dress is girl's night ready with the perfect peep toe sock bootie of course.
You all know I am shoe obsessed, so here are some of my favorite must have fall booties from Charlotte Russe.
To top off any girl's night out, whether you're wearing a comfy sweatshirt dress or a stunning maxi dress, add a cute quilted velvet backpack and the perfect accessories from Charlotte Russe to finish the look.

Myelinated neurons have their axons segmentally covered with myelin, a spirally wrapped membrane (lamella). The myelin lamella is formed by glial cells that wrap the axon with protrusions, and then the inner leaflets of the plasma membrane fuse together, with no cytoplasm left. There can be up to 100 turns of myelin wrapped around an axon, and over half of the total diameter of the nerve fibre is made up of myelin lamellae. In CNS, interfascicular oligodendrocytes are the glial cells that form the myelin, each oligodendrocyte myelinating multiple axons and axon segments. In PNS, myelin is formed by glial Schwann cells, one myelin sheath per one Schwann cell. The length of myelin sheaths in PNS is ∼1 mm, with ∼1 µm gaps (nodes of Ranvier) between them, exposing the axon to the extracellular space. The voltage-gated Na+ channels are clustered at the nodes. Myelin between the nodes (internodes) allows the action potential to jump from one node to the next (saltatory conduction), increasing the signal transmission speed up to 200 fold. The nodes of Ranvier are also the sites of presynaptic specializations.
The composition of myelin is variable, especially between CNS and PNS. The water content of myelin is ∼40%. Most of the dry mass is made up of glycolipids, primarily galactocerebroside (galactosyl ceramide), and cholesterol and phospholipids. Myelin proteins consist mainly of proteolipid protein (PLP), myelin basic protein (MBP), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG). High lipid content (∼70% of dry weight) limits the diffusion of water molecules and changes proton relaxation properties, which makes MRI sensitive to detecting demyelinating lesions.
Myelin contains also enzymes, including ones with steroid modifying and cholesterol esterifying activity. Phosphatidylcholine can possibly be synthesized within myelin. Carbonic anhydrase in myelin play a role in removing CO2 from axons.
Myelination is regulated by integrins. Oligodendrocytes express α6β1 integrin (laminin receptor), αvβ1, αvβ3, αvβ5, and αvβ8. Schwann cells express α6β1, α6β4, and α7β1 integrins.
Demyelination and remyelination
Genetic abnormalities that affect glial cells or signalling between axons and glial cells can cause defects in axon myelination. Inflammation and metabolic causes can lead to the loss of existing myelin sheaths. Schwann cells can resorpt myelin in peripheral demyelination. Demyelination diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), can lead to various neurological symptoms. Demyelination may also be seen in the brains of subjects with TBI, AD, and some psychiatric disorders, and in spinal cord injuries.
Following demyelination, the otherwise healthy axon can be remyelinated, leading to partial functional recovery. αv-subunit containing integrins in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells may have an important role in remyelination. The myelin sheaths generated during remyelination are typically thinner and shorter than the original.
Myelin contains considerable amounts of Ca2+, especially the myelin in spinal cord. Damage to the myelin may lead to the release of Ca2+, which may trigger necrotic cell death.
In the demyelinated axons, the number of Na+ channels are decreased, and voltage-gated K+ channels are increased and revealed from under the myelin sheaths. MS drug 4AP enhances conduction by blocking K+ channels.
PET imaging
Thioflavin-T and its derivatives have affinity toward the multiple β-sheet structures present in fibrillar amyloid-β deposits and MBP in myelin. PET radiopharmaceutical [11C]PIB is one of the thioflavin T derivatives, used extensively in imaging of amyloid plaques in neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), and traumatic brain injury. It has also been shown to be suitable for imaging myelin, and changes in myelin content, especially in multiple sclerosis (Stankoff et al., 2011; Veronese et al., 2015; Bodini et al., 2016). [11C]PIB uptake in cortex of late MS patients is not different from age-matched healthy subjects (Zeydan et al., 2017). Also some other amyloid PET radiopharmaceuticals could be used in myelin imaging: for example [18F]florbetaben has decreased uptake in the white matter of MS patients (Matias-Guiu et al., 2015) and in pseudotumoral multiple sclerosis (Matias-Guiu et al., 2017).
Luxol fast blue is a copper phthalocyanine dye that has been used to stain myelin under light microscopy. The suitability of related compounds for myelin PET imaging has been studied, and led to development of promising stilbene derivatives (Wu et al., 2008). [11C]MeDAS has been found to be a sensitive and specific radiopharmaceutical for imaging of myelination in white matter (Wu et al., 2010) and in spinal cord (Wu et al., 2013).
Demyelinating lesions are however often very small (∼0.5 mm), which makes lesion detecting difficult using PET tracers that target myelin which is abundant in the surrounding areas. In addition, the high lipid content of myelin leads to high non-specific uptake of most radiopharmaceuticals. (Brugarolas et al., 2018a).
MS drug 4AP binds to the K+-channels which are revealed from under the myelin sheaths after demyelination. The 18F-labelled drug derivative, [18F]3F4AP, is a promising radiotracer for detecting demyelinated brain regions (Brugarolas et al., 2018b).

You can expect to invest up to 25 times more to acquire new patients as opposed to maintaining and retaining existing patients. That's why all practices must have solid marketing processes, systems and strategies in place. The best part when you have all this together is that when your patients are happy, they naturally and automatically refer their friends, family and colleagues to your practice. This provides repeat business and automatically provides advertising that is practically free.
Furthermore, to truly connect with your patients and get them coming back for more involves following a few guidelines. To start, you could refer to your patients as your tribe, your inner circle, part of your family, or part of your community. You, the practitioner, then position yourself as the expert and leader of this unique group of individuals and that gives you the basis to begin building your "Red Velvet Rope Policy". Michael Port talks about this in his "Book Yourself Solid" book, a great read to help business owners ensure they only work with the people they want to serve, those that allow them to do their best work.
I want to give the "Red Velvet Rope Policy" a bit of a different spin when it comes to private practices. Have you ever been to a red-carpet event? If you have, I am certain you felt amazing walking into that event, like a VIP who was incredibly fortunate to be there. That's exactly how each one of your patients must feel in every stage of the communication process with your practice.
Here are a few guidelines to get you started:
Communicate, Communicate and Communicate some more: Be completely transparent. Let your patients know what's going to happen during their appointment. Update them on what their options are and be sure they clearly understand what's important to them.
Practice universal kindness and compassion: Show your patients you truly understand their needs and what they hope to achieve. Whether they come back in three months, 6 months or a year or two later, it will be important to develop a system to keep track of pertinent information that will help you remember who they are. This will make each patient feel important.
Reward Programs: Reward programs have been known to increase customer spend by 26%. When it comes to patients, finding ways to show appreciation for something as simple as when they are on time for an appointment, when they refer a new patient, or just as a thank you to make them feel special can go a long way in building long lasting relationships.
Continually Add Value: As a private practice, your one and only goal is to make your patients' lives better. Going above the call of duty and giving them information that is helpful to them (not your practice) will allow them to see you as a trusted and valuable resource. You could write regular blogs on your website, send regular emails and be active on Social Media as well.
In the end, developing long lasting patient relationships is by far the most important strategy there is to get repeat business and increase referrals. You've got this, but if you need help, get in touch with us today and see how we can help you turn your private practice into a relationship-building, patient attraction practice.

I am sure this is the beginning of a poem. Everything in my life seems to be. When my predominantly black class did not know who Maya Angelou was this week, it broke my heart, but not enough for me to not use it as a teachable moment. I wore my Maya Angelou shirt the next day. I just happened to have it packed for this week long trip. It reads:
"My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return." Maya Angelou.

Happy Tuesday, guys!
This week, we're sharing ten different books that you should read when you're in the mood for ALL THE FEELS.
As usual, Top Ten Tuesday is a feature by the awesome ladies at the Broke & the Bookish! - J
10. Circle of Friends by Maeve Binchy
9. Me Before You by JoJo Moyes
Like I've said in earlier posts, I was TOTALLY prepared to not like Me Before You - silly me!
I've discovered that this is the perfect book to read if you feel like you need to have a good cry about something, and aren't sure why. Clark and Will will help you figure it out, and also help you get the feelings out in the process.
8. The Rook by Daniel O'Malley
7. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
I read an academic paper awhile back discussing tragedy in Harry Potter - I know, I know. There are probably better things I can be doing with my time? - and the writer pointed out that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the turning point for the entire series. It's here that the series starts amping up the stakes for Harry and the crew.
So read this book if you want to know what it feels like living on the edge, and also read this book if you want affirmation that yes, young people can also have a stake in their future.
6. The History Boys by Alan Bennett
There are a LOT of books that make me feel pride in being smart and intellectually curious, and The History Boys is definitely one of them.
The bulk of the book involves boys who are striving for their academic best, against all societal and financial odds. I LOVE the fact that they're unabashedly seeking wisdom, not afraid to be smart, and I just feel better having read this plan.
(The play also has a lot of complex relationship dynamics in this book - read this if you want to feel like someone understands how weird and stressful this age can be. Minus that one subplot.)
5. North and South by Elizabeth by Elizabeth Gaskell
Ok, I'm going to admit off the bat that I saw the TV adaptation first, and then I sought out the book.
But I loved the book equally as much, albeit for slightly different reasons. This is a book that really stresses getting outside your comfort zone, and finding beauty in places that you didn't think were possible.
This is a book that will give you HOPE.
4. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
3. The Castle by Franz Kafka
I first read this book as an undergrad, and I love the fact that it's basically a beautiful, frustrating example of inaction.
Read this book if you need a book that understands what it means to navigate through confusing mazes of bureaucracy - this is a book that definitely reassure you that you are not alone.

2 thoughts on "Eastern Passage #1"
Hi David. I've been through your website several times which I guess means I like it. In particular I like photo 3/12 of Outdoors and Nature. Your use of lines to guide the eye and the complimentary colours are great. For me many of your photos have a similar style which is something I am hoping to aquire myself. From time to time I will come back to visit your site so hopefully you will keep the photos coming. Later . . . Joe.
Very nice publish. I merely came across your blog post and also wanted to say that I've genuinely liked surfing around your blog articles.

The exhibition "Pas de Deux" brings together the photographs taken by Eikoh Hosoe and those taken by William Klein of Kazuo Ohno (1906-2010), the cofounder of the Japanese dance form Butoh. "Pas de Deux" also interrogates the performative aspect of the photographic act. In 1961, William Klein went to Tokyo and created photographic work that would be published in 1964 under the title Tokyo.

I realized yesterday as I tried to show an accurate schedule that it was kind of counterproductive. I originally wanted to offer an approximation of whats next, so that prospective clients can get an idea of when they can get plugged in. But now that Baphominiatures has gotten bigger (thankfully!) the number of confirmed bookings vs ghost/prospective unconfirmed bookings has risen so much that a schedule is somewhat counterproductive. Because of the fluid nature of the higher volume Im now taking on, its best to use the Quote page for determining availability. :)
And now, a Librarius Conclave.

Aruna Quadri, Nigeria and African champion early on Wednesday morning crashed out of the Rio Olympics 2016 after suffering a 4-0 defeat to China's star and world number one Ma Long, in the Men's Singles category.
Quadri became the first African to reach the quarterfinals of men's singles event at Rio 2016 Olympic game.
His wonderful journey in the singles tournament came to an end with a dominant defeat (11-4, 11-2, 11-6, 11-7).
Ma looked in control of the tie from start to finish, and required less than 30 minutes to put his name into the last four of the competition.
Despite the disappointment of a 4-0 defeat, Aruna can look back on his singles campaign at Rio 2016.
"Ma Long is so much better, so much faster, everything is just perfect about Ma Long, and his speed is just too much for me."Aruna said.
According to him, his dream of winning a gold medal in Olympic Table Tennis could very much turn to reality one day, "I believe that it is possible, nothing is impossible to get there.
Ma will face Jun Mizutani of Japan in the semi- finals on Thursday, August 11.

One of 2,996
I volunteered to create a tribute to one of the victims of Sept. 11, 2001, because it needs to be done, 2,996 blogs remembering each victim of that horrible day. I was assigned the priveledge of creating a tribute to Frank J. Koestner, who was 48 when he was slaughtered by terrorists. A lot of my quality living has occurred since the age 48, so I can weep for this man I never knew, but care for.
In researching for this tribute, I felt some of the rage of
There is not much informantion about Frank on the web. His name of course shows up in all of the 6992 (est) lists of the victims who died when America was sucker punched. It's one thing to blog a list of victims, and a completly different thing to try to find infomation about one on that list. In researching for this blog article, I came to a point that I felt close to Frank, yes a friend after the fact. I wish I could have rode that subway from Queens to Manhatten with Frank in the early hours of Sept. 11, 2001. Rushing to work, working long hours, rushing home and getting up the next day to do it all over again. Frank's workday was brutal; leaving for work at 6 am, and finishing work at 7 pm. Add the time for the ride back home, we are talking about 15 hours.
Frank J. Koestner was a good man, doing a good job. Frank J. Koestner was a very private man, a workaholic, and loved his job and family. Frank had worked for eight years at Cantor Fitzgerald in the world trade center, (north tower) and put in long work days. Almost one in 4 people, who died in the World Trade Center that day in 2001, were employed at Cantor Fitzgerald.
Cantor Fitzgerald started the workdays for it's employee's much earlier than most companies who did business from the WTC. One of the reasons for this was that the elevator passage to the 104th floor took 5 minutes before , but around it could take up to 10 minutes longer. So it made sense for the businesses in the top stories to start earlier in the workday.
Frank J. Koestner worked for a great, compassionate and efficient company. This company was crippled by the terrorist attack, and it is a miracle that the business has recovered so rapidly. Even in the devastation and then the rebuilding of the company, the management of Cantor Fitzgerald showed grace under fire. The company within days of the murders, pledged that 25% of all future profits would go to the surviving family members of its murdered employees. Frank worked for a top notch company.
The day after the mass murder, people were still holding out hope for his survival. Remember the chaos, and the pure unadulterated grief of those looking for loved ones who were in those two towers? I do, remember the pictures we saw of light poles on streets near the market district covered with appeals for help? Help me find..Frank J. Koestner..some of them said. Here is a snippet of a web forum that people in NYC and NJ used in an attempt to locate missing loved ones.
A year and a half after the murder of her father,
Carolyn Koestner now six, almost seven, left this simple message on a tribute board.
"I love you Dad"
A year later, when Carolyn was 8 years old, she posted
this entry in a online guestbook
This time it was obvious, the hurt was greater.
Some hurt, grows larger as we grow up.
I spent many hours online searching for photos of Frank and his daughter Carolyn, and this is the only one I came up with. This picture of Father and Daughter is from the 9-11 victims quilt that is being shown all across the USofA.
Here is one of the best bios I found of Frank J. Koestner
I say to you Frank J. Koestner, through research I learned a lot about you, and I need to share some of the truth about you to the world.
Frank as a friend, may you R.I.P. OH, the reaseon..........? There is a street in Queens New York that was renamed Frank J. Koestner St., and Frank, you have some mighty fine initials in you name....FJK....close enough...
I will never forget what the WTC looked like in 1990. The last time I was in NYC, my brother-in-law and sister insisted that my wife, daughter and me, take a ride in their car to lower Manhattan and look at the twin towers from the streets of
Why even hitler on his best day never killed as many civilians in such little time.
You now have the world record for murdering the most civilians in one hour of hatred. I'm sure other islamafacists will try to break that record.
Think couch potato, you may be next.
Yes, the above picture of the twin towers was made up of photos of those that were slaughtered that day, we want to forget, but we can't. That is because 2,996 human beings were vaporized, crushed, burned until dead, had heart attacks, fell down stairways, suffocated in elevators, died trying to help someone else; and let's not forget to mention what we won't mention......the hundreds who jumped from windows knowing they were going to splatter the sidewalks with their bones and blood, but at the time that seemed better than being fried alive.This tribute will remain at the top of my blog page for a couple of weeks.

 The husband and wife were questioned by police after officers broke up one of their sex parties in a Frankfurt hotel room on Wednesday evening. There were five people present including the couple.

 The pair from Brandenburg are accused of failing to declare takings for the last eight years from their pricey events where entry cost €180 ($247) per person.

 They now owe the treasury almost €1 million in tax payments from earnings made from around 450 sex parties organized since 2005, authorities said.

 The man, aged 51, and woman, aged 49, organized parties across the country, a Frankfurt police spokesman told The Local on Friday.

 He added that the couple had been barred from the hotel.

 Both of the organizers claimed Hartz IV unemployment benefit and are officially registered as unemployed.

Concussions have been around since man first started taking blows to the head. The terms "having your bell rung" or "knocked silly" come to mind. The most occurrences happened to boxers, football, hockey and soccer players. But anyone taking a blow to the head from falling objects, car accidents etc. can suffer the same fate.
In many instances the concussion went untreated. It was even a badge of courage to get back in the game to prove you were not weak. I am happy to say at least the level of concern and awareness has improved, but treatment options are still somewhat of a mystery.
My friend and mentor, Boris Prilutsky can explain it much better than I in the following two part article listed below. He thoroughly examines the cause, symptoms and treatment options for concussion victims. You can find this article and many others in The Science Of Massage Institute Journal. The journal's editor in chief is Dr. Ross Turchaninov founder of SOMI.
Mike has trained with both Boris and Dr. Ross in the field of medical massage. He Is currently studying and training with Dr. Ross to complete his certification as a medical massage practitioner.
Especially now during football season, Mike feels it is important to reach out to those in need of proper treatment for concussion and related symptoms.
To learn more about massage and how it can help with concussion treatment read Boris' articles for the Science of Massage Institute here:
Part 1
Part 2

Well, he only got one reply that actually included a phone number, and we're too scared to call it, so he probably was too. On Wednesday, the Sun Belt announced a one-game suspension for Arkansas State linebacker Qushaun Lee for an illegal hit against Alcorn State during their Saturday game. The league said Lee lowered his helmet when he got to the Alcorn State quarterback. Apparently there was some consternation over this decision, so Sun Belt commissioner Karl Benson (formerly of the MAC and the WAC) used his Twitter to open up the floor to reasonable discussion. Last night, Benson posted this:
Don't ask about the picture of the hat, he includes it with practically every tweet. As far we can tell, no one took the bait, unless this guy actually answers the phone at 1-800-EAT-COCK:
Elsewhere, people just weren't going to give the guy their phone number:
That last guy has it right: there's esentially no point, and Benson got what he deserved for the phony feint at transparency. It gets you a couple points with a couple saps, but what would Benson have done if someone had given him a great argument for overturning the suspension? No one wants to vent to the guy that screwed their team, they want to vent about him to people that will be sympathetic, or maybe at him, when they know he won't respond. You're going to get a lot of that last option when you ask for aggrieved students's phone numbers over Twitter on a Friday night.
Update: I called 1-800-EAT-COCK. The opening monologue: "Yeah you heard right, stud. I've got a hearty appetite for a special kind of meat, and I know you've got just what I need to satisfy my craving." Then it asks for your credit card number. If that kid was just pulling a number out of thin air, he's got a gift, and if we don't hear from Karl Benson for a while, we'll know he's arguing the finer points of illegal tackling with the phone-sex worker that mans 1-800-EAT-COCK.

Chacharone Properties Partners with Solect Energy to Bring Solar Energy to Worcester Property
Chacharone Properties, the Worcester area's premium commercial property developer and manager, has partnered with Solect Energy, the state's leading commercial installer of solar energy systems, to install a 650 kilowatt (kW) solar system on the roof of its office and industrial property located at 220 Brooks Street in Worcester. The installation will allow the company to grow its business while saving on energy costs.
"Solar has provided us with a new non-traditional source of revenue, improved our environmental footprint, and helped modernize our company all in order to achieve our primary goal of providing quality commercial space in Central Massachusetts," said James Chacharone, Principal at Chacharone Properties. "It's been incredibly satisfying to witness the positive response from our tenants and business partners."
Prior to exploring solar energy, Chacharone Properties implemented other initiatives to go green. Many of the company's spaces use motion sensor lighting, and the firm is in the process of converting to LED lighting. Currently, 20 percent of Chacharone's properties have transitioned to LED lighting systems, and the company is evaluating plans for its remaining properties.
"We were happy to work with Chacharone Properties on its first solar installation," said Alex Keally, Senior Vice President of Business Operations and Development at Solect. "By installing solar on the roof of 220 Brooks Street, Chacharone will not only reap financial benefits from the system, but also make a positive impact on the environment."
In addition to the company's cost savings and the environmental benefits, Chacharone has taken interest in modernizing its business. Part of that strategy includes taking advantage of the newest technology available to the commercial real estate market. The company plans on evaluating each of its existing properties, as well as its upcoming projects, for solar energy installations and will implement them where it is most beneficial to its business model and tenants.
Recently, Solar Power World named Solect Energy the number one commercial-scale contractor in Massachusetts and ranked it 92 out of 500 solar companies in the nation.

Have you taken a fall lately? We can't always prevent falling on our asses, but what we do after a fall can make a dramatic difference. And when I say "what we do after a fall" I don't mean looking around frantically hoping no one saw you hit the deck. Many of us (myself included) are very familiar with the acronym RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). This a very common prescription for anyone who has a soft tissue injury, but in many cases it can do more harm than good.
It might seem counterintuitive that ice, rest, compression and elevation would be detrimental to healing a soft tissue injury, but there are a few reasons that ice and rest specifically can hinder the healing process and potentially cause long term issues. Now for people who are experiencing a soft tissue injury in a joint, that's different situation in which what I'm about to say wouldn't necessarily apply. However, if your bruise or injury is in the soft tissue (and not in a joint) you might want to consider skipping the ice.
In the video Elisha recounts a nasty fall she took that ended up leaving a pretty substantial bruise on her left ass cheek… ouch. Being a little on the clumsy side myself, I've eaten shit more than a few times and suffered similar injuries. And, because I didn't know any better, I iced the wound took some time off my favorite activities and eventually returned to my normal routine. The glutes are just one example of an area that you could suffer a soft tissue injury, where ice and rest wouldn't be the best advice. So, if ice and rest isn't the right course of action, what exactly should we be doing?
When the RICE acronym was invented they didn't get it all wrong. In fact, there's nothing at all wrong with compression and elevation of a soft tissue injury. However…
Numerous doctors and physical therapists (from Nick DiNubile to Kelly Starrett) are now advocating against ice and rest for certain soft tissue injuries.
One extremely important aspect of recovery from soft tissue injury is engaging in gentle movement that actually activates the area you injured. The importance of contacting that injured tissue cannot be understated, and in Elisha's case, this gentle movement technique relieved 50% of her pain in an hour.
Initially this didn't make sense to me, as it seemed like you would increase your likelihood of re-injury or making the injury worse. What Elisha explains in the video is that inflammation is bringing extra blood flow to the injured area for the purpose of healing it. Ice actually hinders this process. Yes, our inflammatory response actually exists for a reason.
This flow of blood to the injured area is enhanced by gentle activation and movement of the injured area.
This gentle movement ushers in fresh blood and ultimately gives the injured area a chance to generate new cells and heal faster. I'm not a doctor, but I would guess that when a part of the body isn't getting proper blood flow, mild necrosis of tissue is far more likely to occur. I wish I had know or thought about this the last time I took a nasty fall.
Another aspect of injuries that isn't often discussed is that fact that fascia can get "stuck" and form a certain pattern after a traumatic event. If we ice our injury and don't move the injured area gently and gradually, our fascia is more likely to become fixed in that pattern which has negative implications on the nervous system. And of course, if we have fascial restrictions in a particular area of the body we may have circulation issues in that area over the long haul.
One of Elisha's friends told us she once had a boyfriend who was very intentional about movement of an injured area post-injury. He would stub his toe on a table leg for example, and after the injury, he would go back to that table repeatedly to mimic the movement of stubbing his toe without actually making contact with the table. This kind of practice not only provides movement that will help with the physical aspect of the injury, but also engages the nervous system. Basically he was reminding his nervous system, "It's ok to walk right by a table, and not seize up or panic."
Often we encounter circumstances that might trigger a visceral memory from an old injury, and we don't even realize that our body gets tense, or we do but aren't sure why.
I've experienced this phenomenon very viscerally through a car wreck I was in. I don't even remember most of the wreck (head trauma), but I have been notably more anxious while driving ever since it happened. Of course I wasn't aware of the need to reorient to driving slowly and positively so that I could heal that trauma, and ultimately not be anxious while driving. But even becoming aware of this phenomenon long after the fact has helped me to feel less anxious when, for example, I get cut off at a busy intersection. While stubbing a toe seems like a mild example compared to a bad car wreck, I believe the same principles apply regarding processing injuries/traumas and getting back on the horse.
This is why it's extremely important to develop a post-injury practice that reminds you, "The trauma (injury) is over, I'm ok, and I'd like to use the injured area again."
This practice is best implemented relatively quickly after the injury, so the trauma doesn't reinforce itself (like in my car wreck), but rather gets acknowledged and processed in a healthy way. Of course this healing process typically happens over time, but the faster we start getting both the physical and the mental back on board, the sooner we can function optimally again.

For those using solar wax melters ....
Last summer I rigged a melter arrangement using an old ice chest, a glass bowl , tinfoil, and a scrap of clear plastic.
I lined the ice chest with tinfoil, placed a bowl of water in the bottom ( this year I plan to try to find a thrift store rectangular baking dish). I used some stiff wire, actually some "masonary brick lathe" salvaged from a political sign, and a scrap of an old tee shirt. I used clothes pins to hold the cloth to the wire, formed a hammock to hold scrap wax, burcomb, etc. , placed the wax in the hammock, covered the top with clear plastic. propped the lid upen, covered with more tin foil for a reflector, tipped lid to focus suns rays. Set in the sun in a hot out of the way place.
does not work fast, but I dont have to sit there & watch it.
Now the issue was that ants were attracted to the scrap wax, & ended up drowned in the water & stuck to the rendered wax droplets, so I spent some time picking tiny ants off of tiny wax pellets several evenings last fall / winter. How can I avoid the ants? Thanks ... CE

It has been awhile since I have watched a good foreign film. The other night I selected A Secret, a French film that had won a few awards. I found A Secret to be an enjoyable, well-acted movie. It stars Cécile De France, Patrick Bruel, and Ludivine Sagnier.
A Secret, I learned, is based on a true story. It opens in France, a few years after World War II, where a little boy, Francois (Valentin Vigourt), lives with his emotionally distant father (Bruel) and his beautiful mother (De France), a champion swimmer. The family is Jewish, but not observant, and their surname was changed to disguise their heritage.
Quickly we discover that Francois' family has an important secret about their past. It is not until Francois is 14 that he is told of his family saga by his aunt (Julie Depardieu). This takes the movie back to the prewar years and brings about the movie's first of many twists. When the story goes back in time, the sight of the boy's father with a previous wife feels as strange to the viewer as it is surprising to the boy. The world turns inside out.
As previously mentioned A Secret is a good movie that I recommend.

BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) Liverpool scored four goals in 13 second-half minutes to complete a 6-0 win at last-place Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday for the team's biggest victory under manager Juergen Klopp.
Making his first league start in four months, striker Daniel Sturridge sparked the rout with the opening goal after 16 minutes before James Milner's curling free kick from the left wing eluded everyone and bounced into the far corner in the 25th.
Emre Can, Divock Origi, Nathaniel Clyne and Kolo Toure scored in quick succession from the 58th minute in another embarrassing result for Villa, which is eight points from safety. It was Villa's heaviest home defeat in 81 years.
Liverpool climbed to eighth place, three points behind fifth-place Manchester United.
Villa came into the game in its best form of the season, having lost only once in its last five games. But dreadful defending saw the hosts slip 2-0 down early on and it just got worse against a Liverpool team that looked more threatening with Sturridge leading the line.
The England striker hadn't started a league game since the Merseyside derby on Oct. 4 - or even appeared in the league since Dec 6 - because of a string of injury problems, but he showed typical opportunism to head home unmarked from Philippe Coutinho's curling cross.
Can drilled in a low shot from just outside the area to set off a run of goals as Villa's defense fell apart. Seconds after replacing Sturridge, Origi ran onto Coutinho's through-ball and scuffed a shot into the net in the 63rd, Clyne tapped in after his initial shot was saved in the 65th and Koure headed in unmarked from a corner in the 71st.

Boasting over 4,000 items beautifully displayed in an unrivaled Shuvaalov Palace, this museum will surely be on top of your Favorite's list.

It's not only the impressive structure but also the collection of the greatest engineering innovations. One hundred and eighty years later the gilded dome of St. Isaac's still dominates the skyline of St. Petersburg. Although the cathedral is considerably smaller than the newly rebuilt Church of Christ the Savior in Moscow, it boasts much more impressive fades and interiors.

This was my summary at MPP regarding the annuity comment.
"Now I agree that Social Security should be a self funded pension plan. However we know that it's balance + ongoing contributions are not adequate to pay its forecasted disbursements. Therefore we either need to raise it's contributions (higher payroll tax), make transfers from the general fund (wealth transfer) or cut it's disbursements. (lower payments or raise age)"
This seems pretty simple and straight forward to me. And then after looking at links 2 - 4 below it becomes pretty self evident that what we payed for and what we are expecting to receive are out of whack and Father's correct. The eligible age has to be increased greatly or we need to raise the payroll tax significantly. Thoughts?

It's been almost a month since I've coloured my hair blonder and I've noticed that it's beginning to get pretty brassy. I wanted to pick up a purple shampoo from my hairdresser back in December but he was out and told me that most purple shampoos at the drugstore work similarly anyways. I decided after reading multiple views online that the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Color Renew Tone Correcting Shampoo looked promising and wasn't crazy expensive as compared to some others. I didn't buy it with the conditioner because I have so many various hair products in my shower I really don't need it. I've used it once so far because I do not wash my hair everyday and even though it says it takes a few uses I have noticed that my hair isn't AS brassy as before. It's not a miracle product that changes it in one use but I've noticed in my bangs that my hair looks a bit brighter overall. It says to use it three times a week but I'll probably use it a few times until it gets to the blondeness I want and then I'll switch back to using my Kevin Murphy or Aveda shampoo. It's a shampoo you can just add into your regimen when you notice brassiness and then stop when you get rid of that. I've never used a purple shampoo before so I can't really compare it to any other brands but I enjoy the product and for the price it's really good, especially because its not a product you have to consistently use so it will last a long time.
Have any of you tried a purple shampoo that you really enjoy?

A man accused of the cold case killing of a woman found in bushland near Newcastle more than three decades ago has pleaded not guilty to her murder in a Sydney court.
Rodney Lawrence, 65, appeared via videolink at the NSW Supreme Court on Friday charged over the stabbing death of Elizabeth Dixon, 31, whose body was discovered in her car in bushland at Ashtonfield in April 1982.
As well as pleading not guilty to murder, Lawrence pleaded not guilty to an alternative charge that another person killed Ms Dixon and he helped that person after the fact.
He is scheduled to go on trial in the Supreme Court at Newcastle in late November.

Hi Tech Granny
Granny Hi Tech
My mum's been posting selfies… at the age of ninety two!
She's becoming all tech savvy, whilst I haven't got a clue.
They say a dog can get too old to teach itself new tricks,
But she's on Twitter, Instagram, even downloads from Netflix.
It all started back at 80, when the tablets which she took
Turned into a new device, a brand new i-mac book.
She logged on to her emails, sent me messages so sweet,
Attaching from her camera, pictures and a tweet.
She went off to a night class, her notebook clutched in hand,
The nice young man who helped her, made her understand
The joys of new technology, wifi and the rest.
She came back on a Segway, in a dayglo hi vis vest.
She worried she was losing it, but got a memory stick,
And now it's all on icloud, she can find it really quick.
She opened up a channel on media sharing sites,
And now she's earning millions, youtube star over night.
She got herself a fitbit, for when she walks downstairs,
Is always going on Fortnite, where she gives the kids a scare.
She splashed out on a botvac, which helps her clean the house,
I'm sure I saw it one day being ridden by a mouse.
She bought a Bluetooth speaker for radio 4 all day,
Then a new Alexa, which would do just what she'd say.
She puts on a smart headset and lives life virtually
But just plays games of tidying up and making scones for tea.
But now she wants to upgrade, even wants a fridge that speaks,
Tells you when to order milk and when your icebox leaks.
She wants to put the heating on, when popping down the shops,
By using all the fancy apps to add to her drop box.
I think she may join Tinder to help her light the fires,
But she may be disappointed to find it's full of liars.
But one thing about my mum, which still quite puzzles me,
With all these fancy gadgets, she still can't work TV.
And finding eject buttons, or play on her hifi,
Is such a massive struggle it really makes her sigh.
She's such a hi tech granny, updated every day,
And we all think she's magic, so smart in every way!

Thoughts from Affiliated Dentists on Partnering with Benevis
"The Benevis team has been most supportive and responsive as our staff has made its transition from a private solo practice to members of the Benevis family."
—Dr. Lynn Shaw, Practice Owner
"What I like best about Benevis is that I am able to run my practice exactly the way I always have."
—Dr. Martin Diamond, Practice Owner
Affiliating with Benevis has lifted so much of the day to day stress off of my shoulders. It's nice working with people who really care about you—not just the well being of the practice, but of you as well. I can truly say dentistry is fun again!
—Dr. Derrick Hampton, Practice owner
Affiliation with Benevis has been very beneficial to me as a practitioner and practice owner. Having them as a partner, has allowed me to focus 100% of my time and attention to getting the clinical outcomes my patients deserve and building the skills of my associates without the additional burden of management, entrepreneurial risk, legal liabilities and human resources demands that took up so much of my time. Now, I work a schedule where I have more time with the family and can take advantage of more opportunities for personal development.
—Dr. David Vieth, Practice owner
Working with Benevis has really changed the way I felt about being a practice owner. After years of working in my own practice it was refreshing to leave behind dealing with accountants, attorneys, paying bills, and managing every aspect of the office. In Benevis, I found a real partner with access to capital and expertise in the specific areas of practice management where I didn't want to dedicate my time. As their partner, I'm now the owner of numerous practices where I can focus on being the best clinician, working directly with my associates, and making sure that my patients have the very best dental experience possible.
—Dr. Dale Mayfield, Practice owner

- Send us some financial information along with a few reports from your practice management system.
With this information, we will complete a valuation for your practice and set up a time to review the details with you.

5 Under-the-Radar Huskers on Offense
March 26, 2018
Spring break is wrapping up and will give way to spring football on Tuesday as the Huskers are getting ready to truly begin the Scott Frost era.
Nebraska has quite a few players with starting experience returning and Frost and his staff hit the recruiting trail hard to bring in a number of newcomers who could factor into the rotation in 2018. However, a coaching change is often a chance for forgotten players to get a fresh start.
Here are five under the radar players on the offensive side of the ball who could vie for significant playing time next season with a strong showing in spring ball and fall camp.

Date of Award
Spring 1947
Document Type
Life & Environmental Sciences
From the beginning of modern medical knowledge, medical specialists in the area of the mouth have noticed that the tissues of the mouth were highly resistant to infection. And, with the advent of more thorough bacterial knowledge, the idea of such a high degree of resistance to infection became even more surprising since the decaying teeth, food particles, and the constantly sloughing epithelial membranes furnish an excellent environment for bacterial growth. Thus many investigators began to believe that an antibacterial agent was present in the saliva.
Up to the year 1954, the results obtained in investigation in this field were indecisive and quite often conflicting. From that date on, however, much investigation has been carried out, and authorities such as Dold, Weigmann, Lachele, Hsing, Koehn, Noeske, and Thompson have shown that a definite salivary inhibitory effect exists against diphtherial growth. Other investigators such as Clough, Taylor, Bibby, Bine, Ball, Berry, and Kesteren have also shown that a definite inhibitive action is present in the saliva that is effective against lactobacilli and other related organisms. Thus the body has a defense against pathological damage to the teeth as it has been shown, that the acids produced by lactobacilli are not only harmful to the enamel of the teeth, but are also a predisposing cause of dental caries.
Authorities now believe that the inhibitory effect is due to powers other than those of the bacteria present in the saliva, but results of investigation in this field have been contradictory.
