Vein Treatment
A number of vein treatments are available today, which can successfully eliminate the appearance of spider veins and varicose veins from the affected areas. While spider veins can be treated with an injectable procedure called sclerotherapy, more conspicuous varicose veins can be treated with endovenous laser procedure or ambulatory phlebectomy.
These procedures are minimally invasive, involving either injections or very tiny 1mm incisions. No sutures are required to close these tiny openings. Therefore, vein treatments will typically involve no specific downtime, and the patient can quickly return to their normal activities after the procedure.
During the initial consultation, the vein treatment specialist will discuss all aspects of the procedure, including recovery. Reger Vein and Skin Specialists, led by Dr. Gregg Reger, is a pre-eminent cosmetic practice and medical spa providing vein treatments to patients in Spring, TX, The Woodlands, and other communities in this part of the country.
Immediate Post-Treatment Phase
The vein specialist and their staff will provide a few instructions for aftercare to the patient for the immediate post-treatment phase. The instructions may include guidelines for everyday skin care and apprising the patient of the normal or expected symptoms. They will inform the patient about the potential signs of complications so that the patient remains alert about such a situation and seeks timely medical attention.
Temporary post-treatment symptoms may include reddish skin, mild bruising in some of the treated areas, minor discoloration of the skin, and occasional blisters. These side effects typically resolve on their own within a few days, and will not require any specific medical treatment.
Repeat Treatments
Although in most cases, the spider veins or varicose veins will be eliminated in a single treatment session, but in some cases, a few stubborn veins may still remain visible after the first treatment. This may be noticed within a few weeks as the patient returns to the specialist's office for a follow-up and review. Different treatment approaches or a combination of treatments may be applied to eliminate the remaining veins in a second treatment session.
Precautions during Recovery
In the first few weeks following the vein treatment, the patient will be required to wear special stockings for most part of the day. This will help to ensure that the treated veins remain closed, and gradually get reabsorbed by the body. Stockings may also help to reduce the bruising. The provider may instruct the patient to avoid doing vigorous exercises for a few days until the healing is complete.
In the first few weeks after an injection or laser treatment to remove the diseased veins, the patient will be required to avoid direct sun exposure in the treated areas. A sunscreen cream of SPF 30 or higher should be used during the recovery phase. Tiny areas of scarring may sometimes appear after the treatment, but with proper care, these will eventually fade away.
Results will vary from one patient to another, but in most cases, the treated spider or varicose veins will be gone for good. Dr. Reger's cosmetic practice and medical spa receives patients from Spring, TX, The Woodlands, and nearby areas for vein treatments.
During a consultation at Reger Vein and Skin Specialists with Gregg Reger MD in The Woodlands, our team will be happy to explain more in detail what procedures and treatments would be the best fit for you.

How to teach a dog to take treats nicely:
ALWAYS supervise your child with your dog. Until your dog can take treats nicely from your hand, teach your child to either throw the treat at the dog or to give it with an open hand.
1. If your dog is biting too hard, make sure to not release the treat.
2. You will get bit and scratched on your hand, but it's a sacrifice you have to make to teach your dog to have a soft mouth.
3. Cover the treat with your thumb so your dog can't get to it.
4. I usually wait for them to lick my fingers and then release the treat.
5. If they are jumping at the hand or biting the hand I pull my hand away.
6. There is no need to give a command because you want your dog to do this every time without being told to be gentle.
7. For additional practice, you can hand feed your dog their dinner.
Teaching your dog to take treats softly:
With so many dogs being put down because of bites, it is important to teach your dog to take treats nicely from your hand. The excitement of getting a yummy treat might be just too much for your dog and he might accidentally take a little bit more than you were planning on giving him.
Make sure that your child is either throwing the treat at the dog or is giving it with an open hand. You have to supervise and teach your child how to give treats to your dog to prevent your child from getting bit.
Be patient with your dog. This can take a lot of time to learn for them. Plus this requires a lot of self-control from them and if your dog is really young it might take a lot more for them. Try to make sure to exercise him or her before training to get treats nicely.

So the school is brilliant. They take pictures in the fall just like every school I have ever been to. Then this school takes them again in the spring. Only the spring pictures they take and then send home for you to see and if you want to buy them you just send back the money... great idea right!!?? Any how I was amazed at the difference in the girls just from September to April, seven months later and my little girls look more like young ladies. I guess it could be the hair right?

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) - Three of Brinker International's four branded chains suffered a drop in same-store store sales last month but the restaurant operator nonetheless reaffirmed its earnings targets for the rest of this fiscal year and next. System-wide, Brinker's same-store sales, or sales at stores open more than a year, slipped 2.3% in May with Chili's, Macaroni Grill and On The Border all down while Maggiano's was up slightly. But the company said it still expects to earn 65 cents to 68 cents a share in its fourth quarter, for a 16% to 18% growth rate on the year, excluding some gains and charges. And, for 2007, it is sticking to its target 15% growth in earnings per share. Shares of Brinker EAT, +3.89% closed up about 1% at $35.83 Wednesday.

The Alt+Right is being rightfully excoriated for their identity group politics.
They think that Western Civilization is only possible and only happened because white men were large and in charge. They think that black people are genetically incapable of contributing much of anything to Western civilization except to its demise. And somehow the Jews are bad people too.
Every Democrat identity group is at least as bad as, usually worse than, the Alt+Right.
Feminists excoriate white men.
BLM blacks hate white people.
Democrats unite everyone who despises white men.
LGBTQAEIOU people hate white men and women and anyone who isn't "fabulous!"
I'm a middle-aged white male. I'm sick of being hated by my inferiors.
Feminists, BLM blacks and alphabet-soup sexual deviant activists (I use that term not pejoratively, but statistically) are all my inferiors.
You are all stupid, self-serving and and self-destructive.
Self-destructive because why?
Because white men rock. We are smarter, faster, stronger, better. You morons should celebrate us instead of simultaneously depending on us and trying to despise us into submission. You know what that's called in a therapist's office? Hostile dependency. Look it up.
White men are the All-Star team of the human race. And we're not racists. We welcome talent from everywhere. That's why we're so awesome. We're the only identity group that celebrates talent no matter where it comes from. Sure, it's hard to join the club but that's because it's a hard club to join.
The Alt+Right wouldn't exist were it not for the bigotry against white men that is the only unifying principle of the Democrat Party in America.
No, I don't agree with the Alt+Right that women, black people, Jews, gays and Asians are …. deplorable and incapable of living up to White Men standards.
But I do think that White Men standards, from Aristotle to Newton to Hawking are the standard that all people should try to live up to. I would never have phrased it that way 20 years ago, but you Democrats have painted everything in identity group terms, so here's me talking your narrative. White Men Rock. Without White Men, most of you Democrats wouldn't only be dead, you'd never have been born. Your grandmothers would have died before bearing children.
I'm going to give a special shout out to black people in America. You're ridiculous. Your resentment and criminality are both way over the top. You are so lucky to live here instead of in hellish genocidal Africa, but you still resent white people for your iPhones and your EBT and your retarded refusal to move out of Democrat controlled cities because you're so addicted to government transfer payments. Meaning, for the most part, stupid Democrat white people who vote to pay you while you refuse to get a job.
Maybe black people really are as stupid and deplorable and irredeemable as the Alt+Right says they are. Prove the Alt+Right wrong.
The only reason the Alt+Right has any traction is the shitty behavior of most inner city black people. And most inner city black people should be ashamed of themselves for betraying their brothers and sisters by being horrible contribute-nothing commit-crimes human beings. Shame on black people in the inner cities. Shame!
You inner-city black people are the best, no, THE ONLY, argument for the Alt+Right. Nice job, inner-city black people.

Social media plays an increasing role in how people communicate. Whether in the middle of a disaster or in everyday situations, more are exchanging information by using the Internet, texting, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, YouTube or using apps such as WhatsApp and Snapchat.
Preparedness is defined by DHS/FEMA as "a continuous cycle of planning, organizing, training, equipping, exercising, evaluating, and taking corrective action in an effort to ensure effective coordination during incident response." This cycle is one element of a broader National Preparedness System to prevent, respond to, and recover from natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other disasters. Planning makes it possible to manage the entire life cycle of a potential crisis.
September is Emergency Preparedness month and in light of the issues we as a nation have just witnessed with hurricane Harvey, we are focusing on how to prepare for a hurricane. In many ways, this is accomplished the same at work and with your family.

System JO has a gigantic selection of flavored lubes, and they were kind enough to send me a couple to review. In this review I'll be comparing the "Lemon Splash" and "Raspberry Sorbet" versions of their flavored, water based lubricants.
System JO makes quite a few body-safe lubricants for women (my favorite is their Agape version), however these flavored H20 lubes include parabens and glycerin in the ingredients. Glycerin can cause yeast infections, although System JO claims they use a kind of glycerin that doesn't cause them. Some women have a sensitivity to parabens, so it may be best to do a patch test before using this lube.
The full list of ingredients: Propyl Paraben, Methyl Paraben, Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose, Glycerine, Purified water, Natural and artificial flavors.
I love to use this lube for massages because the scents are wonderful. The raspberry smells like a sugary-fruit dessert and the lemon smells like lemon heads (the candy). Citrus is by far my favorite flavor and scent, so I absolutely adore using this on my partner before or after sex. It doesn't last quite as long as their H20 for Women, but it does last fairly long. It leaves the skin silky smooth with a hint of scent that is heaven to kiss. It never gets sticky or gummy, and you can reapply as often as you need to.
Now, the taste could be better. I don't like licking this in big amounts because there is a sharp kick of chemical taste. However, after that settles, it leaves a nice hint of raspberry or lemon taste. Kissing it leaves a tiny bit of scent on the lips; but it isn't unpleasant at all. It's quite similar to Chapstick, but a little sweeter and slicker.
The bottles are also very well designed. They feature a red button that flips the lid open when pressed. The button is impossible to miss, even to those of us who are blind without glass. After you flip the lid open the lube pours out freely on to your skin. I'm slightly worried that somehow the button will get pushed and the lube will get into my purse when I carry this around in my purse, so I usually throw it in a plastic baggy.
Texture wise, this is one of the thinnest lubes I've used. It slips and drips easily. However, even if it does get on your bed sheets, it should wash out easily without staining. After you rub it into your skin, it doesn't run or drip off at all.
Which tastes better? It really depends on the mood. I find lemon to be a little more cheerful and happy, while the raspberry is great for nights where you want to take things a little bit slower. They're about equally sweet which was somewhat surprising to me.
Thank you System JO for providing these to me for review!

Recently, my entire class of undergraduates told me they don't post on social media anymore.
Slowly, quietly, and without anyone really noticing, Millennials have stopped using social media the way they're supposed to.
There's no disagreement about which social media platforms Millennials are — and are not — using. Most of them have Facebook, but it's not a place to share thoughts and updates ad nauseam anymore. Instead, they're using Instagram, Snapchat, and other channels where grandparents and prospective employers can't spy on them. There's plenty of demographic data out there that illustrates this point.
What's less obvious is their behavior on these platforms. For instance, Pew research tells us that 88% of Millennial-aged U.S. adults use Facebook, and 59% use Instagram. But what that data doesn't tell you is they don't post personal content to either channel very often, if at all.
I sort of stumbled upon this in my first class of the semester, teaching social media to undergrads at Xavier University. The class of thirty was paired up and each student was told to research their partner on social media and then introduce them to the class. As the students shared their findings, I was pretty shocked to discover that no one posts anything original to their social media accounts. Instead, they follow other accounts and occasionally share stuff… But they don't actually share their own thoughts or photos. I thought, Wait a minute. Can this be true? And they all nodded their heads.
After further discussion and reflection, I felt compelled to share some of these students' thoughts, and some of my reactions.
Why Millennials Don't Share Status Updates Anymore
A major driver: Competition.
There's so much pressure to publish content that generates a lot of likes and comments…so much that many people would rather not post at all. The bar has been set so high — by everyday users, by influencers, by brands — that they're no longer confident in their ability to craft amazing content.
Another big reason: Being present.
A Millennial expert friend of mine said it well:
"While the Internet is a beautiful place for many things, it can't replace human touch and physical support when it's needed. We are remembering that it's important to experience things with our friends in the wild as well as the web." -Savannah Peterson
Believe it or not, consciously deciding to experience something with the people around you is often more gratifying than posting about it online. And Millennials are figuring this out. My students asked me, "Why would I post about something I'm doing when my friends who would see the post are experiencing it with me?"
This decline in sharing has been reported from time to time, notably in April of last year, when leaked Facebook data revealed there's been a decline in personal updates on the platform:
"Facebook has been struggling to reverse a 21% decline in 'original sharing,' or personal updates, from its 1.6 billion monthly active users."
But this behavior goes beyond Facebook. Millennials are Tweeting and Instagramming less, too. (At least according to my student focus group.) This trend shows that there's something bigger happening here.
"Millennials have come to learn about social media's less positive impacts, and that in turn changes their attitudes and behaviors." -Dennis Devlin
Social media users (especially young people) are moving away from public broadcasts that "live online forever," leave you open to abuse, and let Mom, Dad, your boss, the neighbor, your teachers and the guy down the street know exactly what you're up to. Simultaneously, this has led to an increase in the attraction of smaller, closed networks such as private Facebook groups, direct Snapchats, Snapchat groups, protected Instagram feeds, and messaging apps like WhatsApp, FB Messenger and GroupMe.
As a social media marketing professional, the obvious question becomes, how does this impact brands who are spending lots of time and money marketing on social media?
How Brands Can Cater to Millennials' Social Media Preferences
In order to win attention and loyalty from Millennials on social, brands need to pay more attention to popular and emerging one-to-one social media avenues. At first glance this might sound impossible (or even unethical), but there are actually a number of legit ways to present your brand in these forums.
#1. Activate your fans with engaging offline experiences
"It makes more sense to invest in creating experiences that people will talk about within their own networks instead of wasting time talking about yourself. Your fans already know you're awesome." -Autumn Heisler
Autumn, my partner in crime at dooley media, nailed it: Instead of talking at your fans with tons of promotional material, sometimes it's best to create magical moments for them to experience and love — then sit back and let them do the talking (posting) for you.
In order to win big on social media, I believe you have to BE a social organization. The way you do business needs to invite people in, to make them want to be a part of your movement, and to compel them to bring others along for the ride.
There are tons of ways to do this. On one side of the spectrum, there are relatively simple ways to encourage social interactions:
● Include social icons and hashtags on your packaging
● Set up a photo booth at your event
● Ask your email list to share their experience online
● Launch a contest where you reward people who use your hashtag on Instagram
● Give customers insider-access or sneak peeks to your store/factory/kitchen/etc. (Photos encouraged!)
A next-level approach would be to give your fans the inputs to create and share content on their own. How? One great way to encourage social sharing is through a sponsored Snapchat geofilter. This is an inexpensive and fun way to let your customers share their experience with their network in the way they want. Taco Bell, a hit with Millennials, is a force to reckon with on Snapchat. The brand's sponsored Cinco de Mayo lens let users turn themselves into a taco. Simple idea, but hilarious. And it earned over 200 million views. This approach works especially well for Millennials who would rather post on their controlled Snapchat stories versus public Facebook Newsfeeds.
But the gold medal in crafting a social-optimized brand goes to Patagonia. Sure, donating their Black Friday sales gets them a lot of attention, but their fans buy into it because Patagonia's business philosophy, their people and their 100-year outlook is what KEEPS people's attention and KEEPS them talking. There's a reason why they only spend one-half of one percent of their revenue on marketing. People believe in Patagonia. From the beginning, it's been a brand focused on crafting high-quality products that their customers want. Their love of nature and compassion for people comes through in every aspect of the brand, and its customers are proud to be part of that community. So it's no wonder they lead their industry on social. (This episode of the How I Built This podcast shares Patagonia's story in greater depth.)
#2 Provide content for them
If Millennials are nervous about posting content that they're afraid won't meet the standards of the channel, then brands can provide a solution to that problem by doing the hard work of creating great content for them!
One example I love is the promotion of Season 2 of the Netflix show Orange is the New Black.
By hosting a Twitter event, creating a hashtag for one of the characters, and giving great, shareable content to fans through a custom app, the campaign earned 98,407 social mentions in one week before the Season 2 premiere, with 98% of them positive.
What do your customers love about your brand? What does buying into your brand say about them as a person? Find creative ways to deliver content that lets your fans express these feelings, then invite them to share.
#3. Influencers
"Millennials won't follow Under Armor but they will follow Steph Curry wearing his Under Armor shoes." -Kendra Ramirez
When I posted on Facebook (yeah, I still use it!) about the experience I had with my social media students, my connections shared a lot of great feedback and ideas. I love Kendra's comment about her children because it illustrates perfectly one of the best ways to interact with Millennials on social: influencer marketing.
This approach is not limited to just those brands who can afford NBA star endorsements. In fact, any brand can afford to take a micro-influencer approach to social media marketing by asking existing customers and fans to participate in their marketing campaigns. I asked my students, and they said they'd absolutely participate in a campaign as long as the reward matches the effort.
To get your own micro-influencer campaign started, research the popular Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter accounts in your community. This could include anyone from a high school fashionista with a couple hundred local Instagram followers, to the local Mom-blogger with a couple thousand Pinterest fans who shares recipes and travel advice. Reach out to the appropriate people and start a conversation about your goals, their approach to social media, and how you could best reward them in return for a few authentic, branded posts.
If you find the right influencers, the content posted by these third party partners will be ripe for Millennial re-sharing (since it's not worth the pressure for them to create posts themselves!).
#4. Facebook Groups
"Facebook is often used by us mainly for its group functionality. I know plenty of classmates who only go on Facebook to check the groups they are part of and then quickly log off." -Andrew Watts
If you had Facebook in college, you know that one of the best utilities of the platform is the ability to keep people in your student org/dorm hall/class group/etc. updated on important activities through a closed Facebook group. Beyond university halls, there are thousands of groups out there, from photography lovers, to local parents, to neighborhood watches and more, and they are really popular places to connect with like-minded people on the channel.
The difficulty for brands who want to reach people through Facebook groups is that they're limited to personal profiles, meaning company pages can't join them. But you can join them as yourself — and so can the influencers you're tapping to spread your message for you.
Which Facebook Groups are active in your local community? Or maybe your audience congregates on other channels like Reddit, Ello, Medium, or LinkedIn? If you can authentically communicate brand messages in these targeted forums, you could soon see BIG results.
#5. Ads
Finally, paying to play is sometimes the best bet when it comes to social marketing. As long as you carefully craft engaging ad content and accurately target your ad buys, inserting yourself in the newsfeeds of the people you want to reach can be very effective.
Since so many Millennials are mostly "lurking" and scrolling through content rather than contributing, then you can at least be sure that people are seeing your brand online, even if they aren't always joining your public conversations.
Let's chat about it!
What are your thoughts on Millennial social media use? Do you have any stats or stories that back up or refute these ideas?

- results of a prospective study
- 10.3109/14017431.2014.891760
- Abstract:
- BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The search for novel risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has provided valuable clinical data concerning underlying mechanism of disease. Increasing evidence indicates a possible involvement of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and its binding protein 2 (IGFBP-2) in the pathogenesis of CVD disorders. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between levels of IGF-I and IGFBP-2 with all-cause and CVD mortality in a prospective study of patients with lower-extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD). METHODS AND MATERIAL: Serum IGF-I and IGFBP-2 levels were obtained in 440 patients (257 males) with symptomatic PAD. Patients were followed for a median of 6.1 (IQ 5.1-7.2) years. The relationship between times to lethal outcome and baseline serum IGF-I and IFGBP-2 levels were examined by Cox proportional hazard analysis. The role of IFGBP-2 for prognosis of CVD death was assessed with c-statistic. RESULTS: During follow-up 115 (26%) patients (48 females and 67 males) died, and 53 (12%) died from CVD-related causes. Cox regression analysis revealed that an increase of 100 μg/l of baseline IFGBP-2 were significantly associated with an increased risk for CVD mortality [crude hazard ratio (HR) 1.14 (95% CI (1.05-1.23)), and adjusted HR 1.12 (95% CI (1.01-1.24))]. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis yielded area under curve of 0.61 (95% CI: 0.51-0.67, p = 0.022). However, the model including IFGBP-2 did not show a significant improvement in accuracy of CVD death prediction [the area under ROC curve 0.73 (0.66-0.80) vs. 0.75 (0.69-0.82), p = 0.696], and net reclassification improvement was 10.3% (p = 0.23). CONCLUSIONS: Increased IFGBP-2 concentration was significantly and independently associated with long-term CVD mortality in patients with lower-extremity PAD. However, risk prediction of CVD mortality did not improve by adding IFGBP-2 to a model containing conventional CVD risk factors.

Marketing and sales teams spend a phenomenal amount of money on traditional business development channels such as paid advertising, conferences, trade shows and SEO.
I recently attended the Digital Leadership forum and have come to realise more and more that authentic content, shared to personal networks is very much undervalued as a channel.
Firstly, you already have experts within your firm whose subject matter knowledge you can leverage for content - when produced by these people, content is authentic and valuable.
Secondly, they can access highly relevant networks, built up over their careers that contain high profile individuals. Furthermore, you know that these networks are filled with exactly the people that you want to be reaching.
And thirdly sharing is free! Yes you can go down the paid-for route, however as per my previous point, if you have a trusted expert sharing, it will reach a high-value network of people.
David Ogilvy wisely said - "Don't count the people you reach, reach the people who count." There is no better way than to reach out to prospects than through authentic and valuable content from people they trust.
Facebook and other forms of social media advertising are grossly underpriced, while brands relying on Google Adwords, email, direct mail, or events are doomed to irrelevance, instafamous marketer Gary Vaynerchuk has told an audience of Sydneysiders.

2. Glass Container Set (BPA free and leak proof. A little heavier, but great, if you don't want to microwave your food in plastic containers. I have a set, and I'm super satisfied – works excellent with soups)
3. Stainless Steel Lunch Box (lighter, definitely BPA free, but also not truly watertight. I own one though and I love it)
One last most obvious tip: always chuck your lunchbox in a plastic bag to be sure nothing leaks. Better to be safe than sorry 😉
Then without further ado – it's time to spice up your lunch life.

Hanahoe and Hanahoe solicitors making waves in the legal world
Winner of Leinster Law Firm of the Year
Managing Partner, Luke Hanahoe receiving the award
For the second consecutive year, the Naas-based Law Firm Hanahoe and Hanahoe Solicitors has won the prestigious award 'Leinster Law Firm of the Year' at the Irish Law Awards.
The Irish Law Awards is an annual event recognising excellence in the legal profession and the exemplary practices of leading law firms throughout the country. Luke Hanahoe, Managing Partner of Hanahoe and Hanahoe, sits down with the Leinster Leader to talk about the Irish Law Awards, their growing practice and their plans for the future.
Leinster Leader – Luke, tell us about the Irish Law Awards. What does winning the award mean to you?
Luke – Well the Irish Law Awards are designed to recognise excellence in the legal profession, so obviously we were absolutely honoured to be even nominated for an award, but to win an award was really something special. Particularly when we won 'Leinster Law Firm of the Year', which to my mind is the most prestigious award to win, other than the overall Law Firm of the Year Award, of course.
The awards are judged by an independent panel of legal experts from both the Bar and the solicitors' profession. Personally, it is both honouring and flattering when the hard work and dedication of everyone at our firm is recognised by a select panel of esteemed peers.
Leinster Leader – And you won this award last year as well?
Luke – Yes we did. It was a big achievement for the firm and that's why we are so delighted to win it again this year as it shows we are maintaining our high standards.
Leinster Leader – So how have you managed to win the Award two years running?
Luke – To be honest, we have a fantastic team, all of whom work so hard to ensure that all our clients' needs are meet. We ensure we listen to and understand our clients' requirements, so that we can give them clear, solution-based, practical advice. If you understand your client and their affairs properly, it is easier to not only solve the issues they face today, but also to anticipate challenges they may face in the future.
Leinster Leader – So what type of work do Hanahoe and Hanahoe specialise in?
Luke – We are a general practice law firm. We focus on five principal areas, namely conveyancing/property law, commercial law, personal injury litigation, family law and probate/wills. We are lucky because the three partners each have their own areas of expertise and this enables us to advise a wide and varied client base. I focus mainly on litigation, family law and property law. Berna deals exclusively in the areas of conveyancing and probate/wills and Tony, who is a wealth of legal knowledge, primarily focuses on Commercial Law, with a particular emphasis on commercial litigation. Tony is also an excellent Court advocate.
Leinster Leader – So what are the growth areas in your business?
Luke – Thankfully we have seen sustained growth in all the main areas of our business, but particularly in the areas of conveyancing and commercial law. Like all firms we have benefited from the upturn of the property market and the associated increase in residential conveyancing. However, it's the increase in commercial transactions, particularly over the last twenty four months, that we are finding very exciting. We are starting to do more and more work with builders and developers. The construction sector is seeing huge growth and with the experience, dynamism and value our firm provides, I feel we are well place to expand in line with it.
Leinster Leader – So how do you see the continued growth of the practice in the future?
Luke – We are committed to developing and modernising the practice in keeping with changes in society, the economy and our clients' expectations. On top of our continued growth in Kildare, which is our main focus, we opened a Dublin office in 2016 and have seen our Dublin client base increase significantly. Our practice is based on three core principles, client care, collegiality and professional integrity; as long as we keep to these values, I'm confident we will continue to grow.
Leinster Leader – Finally I note you are also the Vice President of Kildare Chamber of Commerce. How has that helped your business?
Luke – What an organisation! The Chamber has been great for me, both personally and professionally. I would recommend all businesses in Kildare to join and meet the impressive array of Chamber members and its driving force Allan Shine. If you do not know who Allan Shine is, you should. I, like the Chamber, am passionate about advancing the business interests of Kildare and Naas in particular. There are so many exciting and vibrant businesses throughout the county and I strongly believe the future looks bright for Kildare.
Contact Luke or any of the team at Hanahoe and Hanahoe Solicitors, at 045-897784 or at email@example.com
Hanahoe and Hanahoe Solicitors, 16 North Main Street, Naas, Co. Kildare.

Another phone scam to alert you about. This is from the Post Falls, Idaho Police Department (please share):
In the past two days, the Post Falls Police Department has responded to four reports of fraud at our local businesses. When an employee of the potential victim business answers the phone, they are told that the caller is from Avista. The suspect caller goes on to tell the employee that the business owes them a certain amount of money and that someone will be by shortly to collect. In an incident today, the caller told the employee that the bill was $200.00 and that an Avista employee would be by in about 20 minutes to collect it.
We have not had any reports of anyone actually showing up to collect the money, but citizens should still be cautious of it. We have called and spoken directly to our local Avista contacts and they have confirmed that this is a scam. It would appear that this scam is nationwide and the number that has been used in our incidents is an (801) area code.
The Post Falls Police Department is urging our local citizens to report these types of scams right away, don't give out any vital or pertinent information to the callers and as soon as possible, check with your local representative(s) to confirm if the call is valid.

Bridget has been a steadfast and committed member of our community for several years now; in fact, several years ago she received the Student of the Month honor!
Over time, Bridget's practice has deepened and blossomed, and our love and appreciation for this wise woman has also grown. We are now grateful to count her among our staff of amazing teachers!
Here's what Bridget has to say about her yogic journey:
"I got hooked on yoga soon after I took on my first full time office job. I completely underestimated the toll that sitting at a desk for eight hours a day in a room with no natural light would take on my physical and mental health. I thought that working off of my feet would give me boundless energy to do the things I love (such as hiking and dancing), but I was left feeling depleted at the end of every day. Yoga became my road map back to healthy living.
I am often asked which pose is my favorite and I am always stumped – but I can often think of a least favorite. One of my least favorite poses is dolphin, and I challenge myself to practice it everyday because I know that I need it! My advice for yogis is to try the styles and poses of yoga that you like the least a little bit more. These practices are usually what we need to bring balance into our bodies and lives, but we tend to shy away from them because they remind us of our weaknesses. Also, never underestimate the power of subtle movements. Sometimes the simplest movements can be the most impactful. This is a common theme in my practice/classes.
Even though asana (the physical expression of yoga) is what drew me into practice, I have found so much more in exploring the other 7 limbs yoga has to offer. The deeper I get into my practice the more expansive it becomes, and what can be more exciting than that!? After completing my first teacher training I feel I have climbed the peak of one small mountain with countless others to go. I continue to delve into the healing power of yoga, recently being certified in Yoga of the Heart (yoga for individuals with cardiac, cancer and other life-threatening diseases). To learn more, go to rootedheartyoga.com.
I enjoy exploring everything Mother Nature has to offer, dancing to live music, using my bicycle instead of my car (when I feel up to taking on the mountains), and sharing good food with good friends."
Bridget classes are softly flowing, with mindful attention to alignment. She has a knack for guiding her students (even beginners!) into some of the stronger poses so gently that they are sometimes surprised to find themselves there!

This year has been quite amazing thus far. Not only has my business really started taking off and I have a full schedule ahead of me, but I've also officially joined the club and tied the knot! Yep, I'm a married woman:) I may have skipped the whole engagement phase, however, my big day was absolutely perfect, not to mention totally "Brittany".
Now for all those questions...
Who did I marry? My all time greatest friend, the love my life, my biggest fan, my one and only, Ryan S. He is my world, and I am so incredibly blessed to have him as my husband. Isn't he the cutest?!?
What?!?!? We got married! Yes, MARRIED! Nope, NOT engaged - we just skipped right over that:) We set a date about 5 weeks earlier, didn't think too much about it, and bam! We said "I Do"!
When did we say the coolest vows ever written?!? On Saint Patrick's Day, of course. It is the luckiest day of the year, and with our history, we could use a bit of luck;)
Where did we make our families stand out in the freezing cold, where they required tissues not only to absorb their tears of happiness but also for freezing noses? We chose the property of the ever so lovely, Irene Fuller House. I photographed a wedding there last year and knew right then and there that if the day ever came for Ryan and I to make it official, it would have to be here. It's absolutely gorgeous! In addition, I can not speak highly enough of Diana Brewer, the wedding coordinator. She goes above and beyond the phrase! She is simply wonderful:)
(This photo was taken last fall, but I wanted you to see how incredible this house is!)
Why did we finally make it official after 6+ years, 3 apartments, 1 house, 3 dogs and who knows how many fabulous adventures? We thought it would be a nice way to spend our favorite holiday:)
We kept it simple, as we only invited our immediate families and grandparents. We invited them over before the ceremony for a few irish spirits and a pastry or two from our favorite bakery, Blackbird Baking Company. I think our spread was quite lovely, if I do say so myself...
Oh, and the morning of our big day, Ryan and I took a trip to Brennan's, where I gathered the flowers for my lovely bouquet. Oh, how I loved that little bundle... (our dog Tank escaped from his cage 3 days later and ate it.... that's another tale for another time).
So there you have it. I'm an official member of the Married Club!
Thank you, Lane Baldwin, for the lovely photographs! Please click here for her full blog post and colorful photographs!

"A good basic selling idea, involvement and relevancy, of course, are as important as ever, but in the advertising din of today, unless you make yourself noticed and believed, you ain't got nothin'."
"Advertising is the ability to sense, interpret... to put the very heart throbs of a business into type, paper and ink."
"Advertising says to people, 'Here's what we've got. Here's what it will do for you. Here's how to get it."
"Anyone who thinks that people can be fooled or pushed around has an inaccurate and pretty low estimate of people - and he won't do very well in advertising."
"Creative ideas flourish best in a shop which preserves some spirit of fun. Nobody is in business for fun, but that does not mean there cannot be fun in business."
"Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people."
"Good advertising does not just circulate information. It penetrates the public mind with desires and belief."
"I am one who believes that one of the greatest dangers of advertising is not that of misleading people, but that of boring them to death."
"I have learned that any fool can write a bad ad, but that it takes a real genius to keep his hands off a good one."
"I have learned that it is far easier to write a speech about good advertising than it is to write a good ad."

Our Chief Commercial Officer Tim Ensor will deliver an intralogistics talk at the RoboBusiness Europe conference – part of the First International Robotics week, on April 20th, 2017.
The International Robotics Week unites RoboBusiness Europe, TUS Expo and ROS-Industrial Summit trade fairs and conferences, making it one of the largest robotics events in the world. More than 4000 industry leaders and professionals from around the world are expected to attend. The conferences will be held at the World Forum in The Hague, and there is an extensive program of events in and around the city of Delft.
Tim's presentation: "Delivering promises – a tough job for robots in logistics?" will examine a number of different robotic approaches currently being developed for logistics and consider which approaches are best suited to different logistic requirements. He'll also share his thoughts on robotic applications that can be put into service today and discuss areas where challenges remain to deliver on the promises being made by proponents of robotics.
Reflecting on some of the current applications of logistics robots, Tim said:
"With the explosion of online retail and the natural fit of robotics being employed to move physical materials, it's no surprise that we're seeing a surge in robots being developed for the logistics sector. However, within logistics, there are many use-cases with differing requirements and economics. Whilst there are common themes, one size does not fit all."
In addition to Tim's presentation, we'll be showcasing our most recent project – a robotic customer fulfilment platform for Ocado – the world's largest dedicated online grocery retailer, at our stand B310.
Our friendly experts will be on hand throughout the three-day event to explain the process behind the development of the project including design, prototyping, software development, testing, manufacture and assembly. If you can't make the event to chat to us in person, don't fret, you can get all the details on our case study here, or on our press release here.

Receiving a series of orders gives Hyundai E&C green light for overseas expansion in the second half of this year

Hyundai E&C has come to the fore with respect to receiving overseas projects by being awarded a series of mega-sized national projects. On August 29, Hyundai E&C received an order worth 1.462 billion dollars, or approximately 1.6 trillion won, from Vietnam Electricity to construct a power plant. The project includes the construction of a 1,000-MW coal-fired power plant using eco-friendly circulating fluidized bed boilers in Mong Duong, Quang Ninh Province, 250 kilometers northeast away from the country's capital Hanoi. The construction period is 46 months. As part of the national project supported fully by the Vietnamese government to solve the chronic problem of supplying electricity, it is the more meaningful in that Asian Development Bank will finance the construction costs. In addition, Korea's primary builder got an order valued at 434 million dollars, or about 470 billion won, from Qatar Museums Authority on September 4 to build
the Qatar National Museum. The project, which the Qatari government has been devoted to pushing ahead with, involves the construction of a national museum with five stories above ground and one underground level at the center of the country's capital Doha. The construction period is 33 months.

Its an exciting time to join the Property team at the Diocese of Guildford - with our Transforming Church, Transforming Lives mission, and the 12 supporting goals that include a commitment to establish 100 new worshipping communities over the next 10 years, improving our church buildings and developing a volunteer consultancy service that professionally supports our parishes in areas such as project management is a key part of our work.
As Property Surveyor, your skills will be key to help us develop our property portfolio and processes, ensuring effective management and maintenance of our buildings and land. You will build up a reliable and trusted network of suppliers, including building contractors, architects, surveyors, engineers, and letting agents.
We are looking for a skilled property professional with a track record of property portfolio management both residential and community-based. You will be comfortable liaising with people at all levels, both within the diocese and with external professionals. Most importantly, you will share the missional passion and heart to reach and serve our communities.
The Diocese of Guildford covers the western two-thirds of Surrey and a significant area of North-East Hampshire. It also includes one parish in a London borough and one in rural West Sussex. In the northeast, it is largely suburban, but moving south and west, there are a number of distinct towns and numerous villages. This part of the diocese has a rural feel, but good road and rail links to London and elsewhere mean that there is much commuting within these areas.
The population is just over a million, rising in line with the national rate. Notwithstanding the rural areas, the average population density is above average, both regionally and nationally.

United States v. Huether, No. 11-1964 (8th Cir. 2012)Annotate this Case
Defendant was convicted of receipt and possession of materials involving the sexual exploitation of minors. Defendant subsequently appealed. The court held that the record supported the district court's decision declining to suppress the evidence and the record showed that defendant, without hesitation, answered the questions relating to the materials in his computer; the district court did not err in admitting to agents' testimonies; and the district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting expert testimony regarding the interstate commerce element of saved images and videos on computer hard drives. The court held, however, that the district court failed to properly instruct the jury and violated defendant's Fifth Amendment rights under the Double Jeopardy Clause. Therefore, the court determined it proper to have the district court vacate one of defendant's convictions.

No, it's not a typo and I'm not going to be talking about stoplights.
When blogging the Google Scholar news I realized that since I started working with Danny and Chris on the SEW Blog, I never mentioned another large (and I think very useful) database to find and access library books called RedLightGreen. It's easy to use and includes plenty of features. We've been blogging about it on ResourceShelf since October 2003 when this impressive tool was first launched.
What Is It?
RedLightGreen is being developed by RLG, a library organization based in California. This database is what librarians call a "union catalog" and contains bibliographic information for more than 120 million books. Is that it? Hardly! RedLightGreen offers much more. Btw, RedLightGreen is free to access and use.
Plenty of Features
Here's a search for "Internet History".
An advanced search interface with a few more search options is also available.
Results pages not only contain a list of "hits" but lots of help to help you narrow and focus your results. Look in the column on the left side of the page. Here you'll find:
+ Options to focus your search to a specific subject. Where do these subject links come from? They're from the subject headings that have been assigned to the books in your results list. They've been assigned to the books by human catalogers from a controlled vocabulary called Library of Congress Subject Headings. Taking advantage of subject headings/descriptors can often allow you to find just the right material(s) very quickly.
+ You'll also see a clickable list of all of the authors in the results list.
+ Finally, if you want to limit your search to language in a certain language, it's only a click away.
Entry Pages
O.K., I have a list of books, now what? Let's look at a page for a specific title. Two things to note here:
+ The green box in the upper right side of the page labeled, "Get it at your library." If you click this link, you can quickly check if a specific library holds the item with just one click. In fact, RLG just added direct links to THOUSANDS MORE local library catalogs around world. If you register (free and fast), the library you select (it's still easy to check others) will always be linked and listed.
+ Another green box on the right side of the page provides links to not only create a list of saved items but also, get this, format the list into one of four bibliography formats It's easy to then send the bibliography via email or print it. Cool!
+ Results pages also contain a link to find the item (if available) in the Amazon.com database along links from Google.
+ Easy Access
Last week, RedLightGreen announced that a plugin for the Firefox toolbar was available.
We've only scratched the surface on what's available and I hope to write more about the project soon. RedLightGreen is more than worthy or your attention. You can read more about it here and here.

In Christ, we dwell in God's grace. Therefore, we invite you into God's blessing to bless others.
In Christ, we live up to God's potential for us. We encourage you to pursue growth.
In Christ, we live out the Great Commission. Therefore, we challenge you to go into the world.
Welcome to Grace Baptist Church!
What To Expect
When you first arrive at Grace Baptist Church you will be greeted by friendly people who are genuinely glad to see you. They will help you find where you need to be. People will want to say hello but you will not be singled out or embarrassed in any way. You are our guest.
What to wear – You will find some wearing blue jeans and some wearing suits. Our ladies often wear pants. The main thing is just to be yourself when you come to Grace the first time.
Where to go – If you are coming for the worship service at 11:00 it is best to enter through the front door of the church. You will find yourself at the back of the worship center and not entering in front of a lot of people. Our friendly greeters will help you feel comfortable and meet any needs that you may have.
What is the worship service like?
At Grace, we use a variety of music styles in the service – hymns, southern gospel, contemporary, and traditional. The pastor will bring a talk from the Bible that is designed to help believers better understand how much God loves them and will be helpful in the coming week. There is a special time with the pastor for children when he shares an object lesson designed just for them.

Statement of Beliefs
We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the basis for our statement of faith.
Our purpose is to band ourselves together as a body of baptized believers in Jesus Christ personally committed to sharing the Good News of salvation to lost mankind.
The two ordinances we observe are baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper which we do in remembrance of Him.
About the Bible
The Holy Bible is the inerrant (without any errors) word of God that He gave to men to write down. It is a love letter through which we can understand how much God loves us and what He did so we could have a relationship with Him.
About God
God has existed forever and will continue to exist forever. He is holy (without sin or blemish). He is in control of this world and history unfolds according to His perfect plan. God expresses Himself through three distinct persons (the Trinity) of which He is the head. He loves people and wants to be in relationship with them forever.
About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the second person in the Trinity. When He came to earth, His birth was a miracle since his mother was a virgin. He lived a sinless life on earth and died on a cross at the hands of the Roman government and Jewish leaders of His day. After three days, He was resurrected (came back to life like He promised). His death on the cross satisfied the expectation of His holy Father for our sin to be punished. He will return to this earth one day to establish a new heaven and new earth where those who trust their life to Him will spend eternity.
About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is God's presence within those who believe in Him. He is the third person of the Trinity. He gives believers the strength to live according to the principles found in Scripture. As we rely on His leadership in our daily life, we find the strength to overcome the challenges this world throws at Christ followers.
About Salvation
We enter an everlasting relationship with God by placing our full trust in His Son, Jesus Christ. It is only by grace through faith that we receive the gift of eternal life. We cannot earn our way into heaven. This relationship becomes the most important relationship in our lives.
About the Christian Life
The lives of people who have sincerely trusted in Jesus Christ are changed. In the process of maturing in their faith, they discard old habits and ideas that destroy their life and replace them with a lifestyle that results in joy, peace and service to God.
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
- Matthew 28:19-20

Waukee High School Dance Team Receives Character Counts Award at ISDTA State Competition
Waukee High School Varsity Dance Team received three state titles and three honorable awards at the Iowa State Dance and Drill Association (ISDTA) 2016 state competition, December 2, at Wells Fargo Arena.
Waukee was awarded judge's choice, the Character Counts award, an academic award for the highest grade point average in the state and finished second place in hip-hop and first place in pom and lyrical routines.
"This year the team really took everything to heart. Their schedules, school work, attitude, relationships with peers and positive attitude during practice made them the perfect winner of this award," said coach, Allison Mayberger.
This was the first time Waukee has received the Character Counts Award. The award is given to one team that competes at the state competition each year. To receive the award, a team must embody the 6 Pillars of Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship. The award was created to recognize a team's commitment to qualities associated with good behavior instead of spotlighting one act of character or individual achievement.
"We did a lot of team volunteer work that brought us together. We were focused on helping others and bettering the community–which is what this award is all about," said senior team member, Morgan Loecke.
Waukee has won state titles ten consecutive years now, winning their first lyrical state championship this year, along with their third hip-hop, and ninth pom.
"When our routines were over we knew we had nailed it, and it was a great way to end my last state competition," said senior team member, Hannah Wagner.
With practices 3-4 times a week, the team not only worked on their dancing but also continued to build their character. In the summer, Coach Mayberger urged the girls to read The Heart of an Athlete by The Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The book encompasses the 6 Pillars of Character and includes many valuable lessons.
"We talked about sportsmanship and how we would display ourselves when winning does and does not go our way. I individually talked with dancers about their responsibilities to this team, persevering when it's challenging and how important it is to be accountable for their actions," said Mayberger.
Waukee Dance Team's hard work and dedication to the 6 Pillars of Character made them stand out in the eyes of the judges and created a great team atmosphere which led to their overall success.
"When I asked the team to stand and applaud teams that beat them they did so with a smile, when I asked them to ignore social media pressures they turned their phones off and listened, when I asked them to write thank you notes after receiving feedback they did it gladly. They celebrated differences, treated each other with respect and truly did their share to make the Waukee Community a better place," said Mayberger.
Waukee will continue to practice their routines and the 6 Pillars of Character as they prepare for the regional competition. The Spirit of America regional dance competition will be held on January 7 at the Mall of America in Minnesota.

Hope renewed
As 2017 comes to an end, many of us think about what we didn't accomplish this year and want to achieve next year. It seems January 1st brings more hope, marks a brand new beginning, and symbolizes another chance to improve our lives.
In actuality, success has nothing to do with the time of year. As we all know, we can't do more of the same and expect different results. Different results will come from doing things differently.
Do you often ask yourself what you can do better? Has it made a difference? Are your efforts paying off?
1. Looking for problems to fix
Your desire to improve your resume, cover letter, interview techniques, choice of words, body language, outfit, and so on, may lead you to research everything you can find on the internet. You read what every expert has to say, only to discover they don't all agree and now you are even less sure about what to do differently. Or perhaps an expert convinced you to implement their strategies even though they feel inauthentic. You're lost. The more you try to fix problems, the more problems you create. You now have to deal with self-doubt and confusion, which lowers your confidence and reduces your chance of getting your dream job.
2. Obsessing over problems to prevent
Current or past workplace situations showed you what you don't want to experience in the future. As you look at job openings and new institutions, instead of feeling invigorated by the possibilities, you are overwhelmed by fear. Your mind asks disempowering questions such as "How can I make sure it's not a toxic environment?", "What if they hide severe issues and once I get the job I can't be successful?", or "How can I avoid working for a horrible boss?" Here again, your focus creates paralyzing fear and you sabotage your own efforts.
3. Focusing on negative aspects
You might look at your situation and be hyper-focused on what is not ideal instead of seeing the whole picture. For example, you may think you've changed jobs too often or you've stayed at one too long. You worry your past choices won't be understood and you will be judged. You fear not having a doctorate will hold you back, or perhaps you think you have too much education and not enough leadership experience. Perhaps you feel discouraged thinking you may have to take a pay cut if you leave your institution, or you may have a longer commute, or a less prestigious title. You see nothing but obstacles and feel defeated.
4. Seeking certainty where it can't be found
To address many of the fears I mentioned above, you decide to do your own detective work and ask everyone you know to tell you what they know about the institutions you are considering. Your goal is to be 100% certain you will not apply for a job somewhere you wouldn't be happy. If you dig deep enough and indulge in conversations with people who are also driven by fear, you will hear rumors, biased perceptions, and horror stories. No matter what you look for, you will find it. Every institution has some unhappy employees but it doesn't mean that their experience will determine yours.
5. Choosing a rigid timeline
You like to plan and feel in control so you create expectations as to when you should start your new job. You may be so attached to a particular start date, that if there is no indication you'll be offered your ideal job at the perfect time, you start considering underwhelming alternatives and lose sight of what you really want. Every week that passes makes you feel powerless and adds crushing pressure. Instead of realizing you're the one who created the pressure you feel and everything is ok, you feel like a failure.
What to do about it
In every example, the problem comes from your focus and mindset. Please understand that the most important thing you can do to have a successful job search is to acknowledge your worth and believe in yourself.
1. Instead of looking for problems to fix, do your best and believe in yourself. You are enough.
2. Instead of obsessing over problems to prevent, listen to your intuition and trust that you will know what situations to avoid.
3. Instead of focusing on negative aspects, think about what you want and about all the reasons you will be a tremendous asset to your future institution.
4. Instead of seeking certainty where it can't be found, realize that your safety comes from yourself, not your environment. If you don't like your environment, you can always leave. Refuse to be a victim and you won't become one.
5. Instead of choosing a rigid timeline, be flexible and remember that it is more important to find a position you enjoy on a campus you love than controlling the timeline.
