There could be $4,000 of damage to the 'Shoe after about 200 people forced their way in to celebrate Ohio State winning the National Championship, according to an estimate from the building coordinator for Ohio Stadium.
The group snapped a padlock in half when they broke in a gate at South Stands at about 1:45 a.m. on Tuesday after the title win. The approximately 200 people who made their way into the stadium were part of a larger mob that was "held at bay by police using crowd control tactics," according to a University Police report.
The group made their way to the goal post at the south end of the stadium and started hanging on it and pushing it until it broke in two places. The report said the post snapped at one of the spots where it was welded.
Don Patko, who works as assistant athletic director for facilities, estimated the damage to the goal post at about $4,000.
There was also at least one incident of offenses involving underage persons that night.
On Sunday, there was a report of disorderly conduct when a student reported that her ex-boyfriend was in her North Campus residence hall trying to speak to her, but that he wasn't welcome. The student and her ex-boyfriend had dated for less than a year before breaking up and remained friends until November when she told police that things got "bad" and she was uncomfortable with him showing up uninvited.
Police told the ex-boyfriend to cease all communications with the student or face possible criminal charges. The student wasn't afraid for her life or afraid of threats of violence, according to the police report.
The next day, a student in a South Campus residence hall admitted to smoking marijuana. Police confiscated a vaporizer and a grinder in his room to be confiscated, said he was cooperative, and referred him to Student Conduct without charging him.

Out of the Blue
Shortlist Aperture Paris Photo Photography Award 2017
"On March 2, 1998, Suzanne Gloria Lyall walked home from her usual bus stop, on the way to her campus dorm room. That's the last time anybody saw her.
Eighteen years later, she still hasn't been found, in spite of the search efforts of police, her parents, and those enlisted by her parents, including a psychic who hovered her hands above old photos, hoping to form a connection. Although Suzanne's parents, Mary and Doug Lyall, were able to find some closure — in 2001 they founded the Center for Hope, a community providing support and resources to the parents of missing children — they never stopped searching for their daughter.
Their story of tenacity, and of a relentless search for traces of evidence, caught the attention of photographer Virginie REBETEZ, whose previous work centered on the way missing and unidentified people are described and depicted in police reports.
'In all my photographic projects I am interested in the invisible, the meaning of identity, the traces we leave behind after death or an absence, in unfinished stories, in the materiality we, as humans, need for closure,' REBETEZ said in an interview with The Huffington Post.
'I can say, in a way, that I use photography to give consistence, materiality, to the invisible, to give a shape, a form to what is not there anymore.' (...)
'I found the different use of the photographs of Suzanne by all the different people involved in the case quite interesting. Psychics used the portraits of her not for the representation of her but as an object they handled and touched in order to get a connection,' REBETEZ said. 'The more you read these files, the more your head is filled with stories, but the less you know. After 18 years, Suzanne's case is still unresolved." (© Virginia REBETEZ)
The project is a thoughtful commentary on the need we have for closure, which, unlike other forms of comfort, like hope or faith, often must come in the form of something physical. REBETEZ hopes viewers will feel provoked by her meditation on loss, but more than anything she hopes the project will raise awareness for Suzanne's story.
'She disappeared in a time lapse of five minutes,' REBETEZ reflects, reiterating the mystery and tragedy of the case. 'The distance between the bus stop to her university campus dorm.'
"'Out of the blue' brings together a lot of different material (textual & photographic) coming from different sources (new material & archives) creating a portrait of Suzanne Gloria Lyall and questioning at the same time the different status of the photographic image and the documents. Within a multi-layered narrative, the project offers a new echo to this dramatic and still unresolved story.
Images of the first NY Police helicopter search, landscapes relevant to the story, portraits, family archives, Police leads, emails / fax / letters / drawings from different psychics (mediums) involved in the case, Suzanne belongings and clothing, maps, age-progressed composite made by forensic artist, still life...
This selected and reorganized material starts to speak with each other in a new way, opening up a new space for speculations and new links. The status of each image and document is constantly shifting and offering new meaning and new context.
Throughout the book, Suzanne's face is never clearly shown; Disappearing between the pages, as she is living outside the frame, in an invisible world. The only clear and straight portraits of her are the three "age-progressed composites", made in collaboration with a US professional forensic artist, depicting her possible features today, at the age of 38.
During the investigation, the various photographs of Suzanne were used by different psychics not for the representation of her, but as objects they touched, in order for them to connect and get closer to Suzanne; so the project focuses on that aspect and offers a reflection on the status of the image.
The book is the perfect form for this project and should be seen as the work itself. Because of the conceptual aspect of the project first, but also because of the distribution and circulation of the book. The story will enter a new field; not the police or the press anymore, but the art world, so it will bring some new discussions and repercussions and hopefully some answers to her disappearance." (text from successful ended kickstarter campaign)
Ausgangspunkt für das Buch ist die seit 1988 vermisste US-Amerikanerien Suzanne Gloria Lyall. Die Aufmerksamkeit der Fotografin wurde durch die unermüdliche Suche der Eltern geweckt, die 2001 in die Gründung einer Stfitung für vermisste Kinder mündete.
Von dieser Seite aus waren die Eltern des vermissten Mädchens, das heute eine etwa 38 Jahre alte Frau sein müsste, ganz offen für das Projekt, das von vornherein als Buchprojekt bei der erfolgreichen Kickstarter-Kampagne vorgestellt wurde.
Virginie Rebetez interessierte vor allem das Unsichtbare und die Bedeutung von Identität, die schon in den ersten Polizeiakten durchscheint und immer wieder auftaucht. Die Portraitbilder selbst zeigen nur Ansätze, nie ist Suzanne deutlich erkennbar. Nur das Poster, das auf der Basis damaliger Portraits entstanden ist, zeigt - in drei Varianten - deutlich ihr mögliches, heutige Abbild.
Das Cover zeigt eine Profilansicht von Suzanne, das sie selbst am Kopierer hergestellt hat.

Easy Ways On How To Do Plumbing Right
Many things certainly could go wrong when you are coping with plumbing work. Some of these things might be easy to fix, but others may be tougher. Whatever your unique situation, you should be educated about plumbing so you will know if you have to call a plumber, or provided you can repair it yourself.
In the event you don't want plumbing in your house frozen, then don't let the inside temperature go underneath the freezing mark, and make certain any pipes which have no protection from the weather are thoroughly insulated. Your pipes can freeze if temperatures around them fall below freezing. It may take a while for the pipes to thaw, therefore you will be unable to run water for quite a while. The worst case scenario is really a busted pipe plus a costly repair.
Avoid septic tank problems through your tank pumped in five year intervals Proline Plumbing This stop sedimentary particles from accumulating in the tank, and then in the worst cases, flooding your property or making the full system to fail. The charge to possess your tank pumped may well be a little steep, but it really sure beats the alternative of handling sewage at your residence or on your property.
Check floors around toilets for softness, to help you tell when you have any floor damage. You can check for softness or weakness within the floor by placing one foot on either side in the toilet and rocking back and forth. It's essential to catch and address floor damage problems as quickly as possible. The more time you wait, the greater expensive the repair will probably be.
Give all drains strainers to get particulate matter that will clog pipes. Clean your home strainer often, specifically if you can easily see debris accumulating. Kitchen filters needs to be changed often, while bathtub filters can be changed as required.
Avoid placing fat, grease, as well as other oils to your drain. It is a certain way to either slow your drainage or clog your drain entirely. This is extremely true for garbage disposal, since fat can certainly make the blades run less quickly and efficiently. Dispose of your oils in the coffee can or some other suitable container as opposed to your sink.
To keep your garbage disposal lasting for a long period, ensure you wash it on a daily basis. Cleaning can be carried out with various items you may curently have in your house, for example dish-washing soap, the rinds of lemons, or maybe the pits of cherries. If you produce a regular cleaning schedule, you could make sure your garbage disposal runs in tip-top shape and smells fresh and like new.
It is very important always run cold water while using your garbage disposal. When cold water hits the garbage disposal, it sharpens the blades. This keeps the disposal in working order. Very hot water can liquify grease and make it collect from the drain, and that can clog the pipes.
As has been previously written, knowing some knowledge about plumbing can help you when things go awry, whether or not they are small or big problems. Make use of the tips given in the following paragraphs to lower the anxiety and danger of the plumbing repairs..

I grew up in a small town called Ogunquit, located on the coast of southern Maine. Ogunquit, meaning "beautiful place by the sea', stands true to its name, welcoming thousands of tourists during the summer months and growing cold and empty during winter months. While the summer was a wonderful time to get outside and enjoy the warm weather activities, the cold months were spent indoors by the fireplace. After high school, I entered the field of plumbing and heating which allowed me to work in many homes on several projects from winter draining/spring turn-on to remodels and new construction. It was during this time, that I realized I enjoyed seeing the different homes and wanted to get into the world of real estate.
Every winter, my wife and I would travel to southwest Florida for vacation. One year, we decided that we did not want to back to the cold and started looking at homes in the area and ended up purchasing our home in Port Charlotte. After selling our home in Maine and moving to Port Charlotte, my father, who has a background in construction, and I invested in several houses in this area to remodel and rent out.
Years later, my wife and I still love it here! Year-round, we are able to enjoy the beaches, riding our bikes, jet skiing, walking the several local trails, sightseeing and spending time in the fresh air! It's funny, because we will be outside in the middle of January and still say to each other, "we wouldn't be doing this if we were in Maine now"!
Now, after having the experience of purchasing many houses, I want to focus on helping you find your home in beautiful Southwest Florida!
I graduated from Wells High School in Wells, Maine in 1998. I attended University of Southern Maine and then to Southern Maine Technical College for Computer Technology. After college, I went into the Plumbing field beginning as a trainee to a journeman until I obtained my Master Plumber's License, Master Oil Burners License, and Propane License. So, I think I have plenty of experience to answer any pluming questions you may have!

Cushing's syndrome or Cushing's disease is a hormonal disorder associated with prolonged high levels of hormone cortisol, which is why it is sometimes called hypercortisolism. Cortisol performs several important functions in the body- it regulates blood pressure, reduces inflammation, regulates the metabolism of protein, fats and carbohydrates, but it also regulates the way in which the body responds to stress.
This disease is relatively rare and it affects 15 to 20 out of every million people each year. The common age of patients with Cushing's syndrome is between 20 and 50.
Symptoms of Cushing's syndrome
The symptoms of this disorder vary from person to person, but some of them are typical for almost all patients, such as rounded face and upper body obesity, fat around the neck and thin arms and legs. In children, Cushing's syndrome causes obesity along with slow growth.
This disorder may also affect the skin, making it fragile and thin, easily bruised, with slow healing. Stretch marks, usually pink, appear on parts of the body such as the belly, the buttocks, thighs, breasts and upper arms.
Since Cushing's also affects the bones, making them brittle, even the simplest tasks may lead to aches and even fractures.
Fatigue, hypertension, high blood sugar, depression, anxiety and irritability are commonly seen in patients with Cushing's.
Women with Cushing's tend to have excess facial hair and problems with menstrual cycles, while men may become less fertile and with lower libido.
Treatment for Cushing's syndrome
The treatment for Cushing's syndrome varies from patient to patient, depending on the underlying cause of excess cortisol. Treatment options for those disease may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or drugs that inhibit cortisol.
Cushing's may be caused by long-term use of glucocorticoid drugs prescribed for another condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, asthma and similar. In such cases the usage of those drugs should be ceased or reduced to the lowest effective dosage.
Pituitary adenomas are common causes of Cushing's syndrome and the treatment usually applied for this problem is surgery to remove the tumors.
Another possible cause of Cushing's syndrome is ectopic ACTH syndrome. This syndrome involves benign or malignant tumors secreting ACTH outside the pituitary gland, in other parts of the body, such as lungs. ACTH or adrenocorticotropin is a hormone that stimulates the adrenal glands, so they produce more cortisol.
These tumors must be removed, if possible. If they are malignant, the patient will also receive chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
The same goes for adrenal tumors, which are a possible cause of Cushing's syndrome.

Another Pakistani Senator today said his US visa application was turned down without a valid reason, a day after reports said the Senate Deputy Chairman, belonging to the same Islamic party as the legislator, was denied visa to visit New York.
Hafiz Hamdullah said he had to wait in a queue for over four hours inside the US embassy's consular section before being told he could not be granted a visa, The Express Tribune reported.
Though the incident dates back to October, just days ahead of the presidential polls in the US on November 8, it comes a day after it was revealed that the Senate Deputy Chairman and secretary general of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri was also denied a US visa.
Haideri's visa denial led to the cancellation of his visit to New York for a meeting of Inter-Parliamentary Union at the UN on February 13-14. He was to lead a two-member delegation. "I was not given any reasons. After a four-hour wait, I was simply informed by the visa office that my application could not be entertained," Hamdullah said.
Haideri and Hamdullah belong to the same JUI-F party. The JUI-F, headed by Maulana Fazlur Rehman, is a coalition partner of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party.
Fazl's party is known to be inclined towards Taliban and critical of US policies in the region. This could be a possible reason behind the visa denials to the politicians.
Haideri's case is being linked to the controversial immigration policy of US President Donald Trump. But the case suggests that the policy of strict vetting of visa applicants from religious parties was in place even during the previous Obama administration.
The US embassy did not comment on Hamdullah's case, citing 'privacy laws', according to the report. And there has been no official reaction so far from Pakistan government or the Foreign Office.
The cases have come to light days after a US court refused to reinstate US President Donald Trump's ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries.
Those countries, however, did not include Pakistan.

When a parent needs help, a first thought is usually to take care of it yourself. Sacrificing an hour or two each day or week to help out seems best. Over time, some find that decision weighs heavily on their well-being. Here are five stories from caregivers who made the decision to hire home care.
There's No Need to Cut Work Hours
To care for an elderly parent, many family caregivers have to reduce hours at work. If that's not possible, home care services have to be arranged before or after work hours and on days off. In addition to a full-time work schedule, evenings, weekends, and early mornings are now spent taking care of someone else. Free time becomes a thing of the past.
A Move to a New Location Doesn't Have to Happen
Selling a house takes time and money. Lawyer fees, closing costs, and movers can eat up a good chunk of a senior citizen's savings. When home care is chosen, the need to move to a new home is eliminated.
Parents Listen Better to Someone Else
Family caregivers often find their parents are resistant to doing what their adult children ask them to do. They were the parent for two decades, and it's hard to switch roles. They'll argue points, refuse to do certain things, and get frustrated when they're pushed. It's often easier to have a caregiver come in on the terms that the caregiver is an employee and the senior citizen retains the role of "boss."
Some Home Care Tasks Are Hard to Do Without Training
There are some aspects of home care that are really hard for an untrained family caregiver to handle. Lifting a parent in and out of bed or a shower is hard when you don't have the upper-body strength. Remaining patient when your parent is refusing to do what you ask is challenging.
The Need to Take a Break
Family caregivers who try to do it all without help are prone to burning out. They're also more likely to delay medical appointments and self-care. This can lead to extreme stress that impacts mental, emotional, and physical health.
You can provide your mom or dad's care on your own, but you should never feel like it's the only option. Home care can be a lifesaver, even if you only use the services for an hour or two a week. Call us today to learn more about respite care.
If you are considering homecare in Park Ridge, IL for an aging loved one, please call the caring staff at A-Abiding Care today. Serving North and Northwest Chicago and the surrounding area for over 30 years. Call 847-698-1400.

These guys were great, called the to investigate our non-functioning water heater after our basement flooded. They showed up towards the beginning of the allotted time frame,nd were quick in diagnosing the problem and explaining providing a solution. They were able to work with their supplier to get a water heater in that night, it took a couple hours of installation, but they were clean and courteous. The plumbers explained potential charges for the issue we were having, and why they were charging what they were. I'd recommend them to a friend or business, it was good value for the money and they're honest workers. Look forward to working with them in the future.

I called 911 plumbing to look at my leaky hot water heater, the owner answered and as able to get me scheduled the same day. I called 911 plumbing to look at my leaky hot water heater, the owner answered and as able to get me scheduled the same day. Two gentlemen came to my condo; they were very professional and informative. One of them showed me that my supply line was the problem, he also explained to me the life span of a water heater and suggested it be replaced soon, but he could definitely repair it for me that day. I wasn't ready to buy an all new heater, so I asked it to just be repaired. They allowed me to watch so I could see what they were doing, it was very useful. They even explained it as they went along. I am really happy with the service provided, and will give them a call when I'm ready to replace the heater. 911 Plumbing has a customer for life!
Carson Horeyv
My wife and I returned from winter vacation to cold showers. I googled and found 911 Plumbing, and gave them a ring. I scheduled an appointment for the next day, but cancelled after I thought i fixed it that night. Unfortunately, my fix didn't last and I needed to reschedule the cancelled appointment, oops, sorry! They were still very accommodating and gave me another appointment for a later in the day. Once the two guys arrived, it took them minutes to diagnose the issue. The fix was simple and straightforward. They walked me through what went wrong and how to tell if it's happening again. The price was incredibly reasonable and I would not hesitate to call them back if I need them again. Thank you 911 Plumbing!

Breakfast ruts happen to the best of us. But what do we do when we're sick of oatmeal but still craving something comforting? That's where porridge comes in. Typically made with finer grains, porridge provides the best of oatmeal but has serious range when it comes to flavor. These 17 healthy porridge recipes will keep you warm, full, and anything but bored.
Fried food for breakfast?! If this gets you excited, then yes! If fried foods aren't exactly part of your morning routine, then don't worry: The banana is simply flash fried, meaning it's quickly cooked in a hot pan coated with coconut oil. Not so bad, right? And believe us when we say the caramelized flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture are worth it.
But bananas aren't the only ingredient to get excited about. This piping hot breakfast is also full of healthy fats from almond butter, hemp seeds, and chopped nuts, and spiced with cinnamon and a splash of maple for a little extra sweetness.
As much as we love avocado toast, it's nice to change up our source of grains. This recipe uses oats cooked in vegetable broth (bone broth would also be delicious) for a savory twist on the typically sweet breakfast. We love the added creaminess from tahini, which also happens to perfectly complement that runny egg. Feel free to poach, boil, or fry—is there a wrong way to cook an egg?—and top with chili flakes, garlic salt, or anything else that feels just right.
Not everyone enjoys filling up on oats in the morning. If you fall into that category but still crave a hearty, warming breakfast, try an option that combines fruit, nuts, and healthy fats (think nut butter and chia seeds) as its base.
Apple's sturdy flesh make it the perfect pick, but you could easily swap in pear (go for a firm variety, like Bosc) for an equally delicious option. We don't think it needs the added coconut sugar, but if you like things on the sweeter side, you can always add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
If you're one of those people who runs out the door in the morning, often forgetting to even eat, baked porridge is the way to go. Baking the oats the night before allows the flavors to fully combine, meaning you get that much more out of every bite. While we love the look of baking in the skillet for a healthy weekend brunch, cooking single-serve portions in ramekins is also a great option—particularly for you busy morning bees. (P.S. If nectarines aren't in season, feel free to use frozen peaches or mango.)
This recipe is full of all kinds of secret ingredients. Lentils mixed with protein powder, you say? Why, yes, yes we did. Though lentils are often associated with savory dishes, their neutral flavor means they work well with a variety of tastes—including sweet. It also means you're getting protein from multiple sources—quinoa, lentils, protein powder, nut butter—to help you recover from that workout (or that night of sleep if you decided to hit snooze). Add berries for extra texture and tartness and shredded coconut for a touch more sweetness.
Can we talk about how awesome it is that there are so many healthy iterations of our favorite cake flavors? Take this carrot cake porridge, which magically matches the moist texture of the actual cake thanks to the sneaky addition of egg. Though you don't get a cream cheese frosting fix with this one, there's plenty of flavor to keep you fully satisfied. Plus, the combination of nut milk and vanilla extract gets pretty close. (Or you could go rogue and add a spoonful of ricotta.)

Stephen Sondheim's first musical, Saturday Night, written when the composer was just 23, is set immediately before the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and tells the story of a group of friends who dream of escaping their everyday lives in Brooklyn and joining New York's glittering high society.
Saturday Night's leading lady Helena Blackman rose to fame in the BBC1 Saturday night search for a West End star How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?, in which she finished as runner-up to Connie Fisher. Blackman's other stage credits include South Pacific, The Wizard Of Oz and Gypsy.
Tom Littler, who directs Saturday Night, is also the Resident Director on the West End transfer of another Sondheim show, A Little Night Music.
This production of Saturday Night was first staged at the Jermyn Street theatre in February, when it enjoyed a successful sell-out run and was described in Time Out's review as an "all-singing, all-dancing train".

Bringing you the best Lisk news of the week! Keep up to date with the Lisk blockchain platform in a few minutes read.
Community Survey Results
At the start of January LiskHQ distributed a comprehensive survey to the Lisk community members in an effort to get better insight into their behaviors, attitudes and values. A total of 712 people took part in the survey and this week the results where released in a blog post. Some of the results were quite surprising and most of all interesting to read. The blog post first gives a nice insight in the age, languages spoken and in what part of the world the Lisk community members live. The participants where also asked some more in depth questions like : When they first learned about blockchain technology and what they want to see LiskHQ do this year? So make sure you read the Lisk blog for the results on these and many other interesting questions.
Lisk Not Affected By The Coincheck Hack
This Friday morning reports started flooding in that one of the big Japanse exchanges named Coincheck was hacked. As Coincheck has the biggest LSK wallet out there (over 14 million LSK) the community kept a close eye on the account and saw the funds being moved to a new Lisk adress. In the late afternoon LiskHQ released a tweet stating : "According to the press statement from Coincheck Lisk was not affected in the hack that took place this morning. We will continue to monitor the situation very closely. " It seems that the LSK tokens where moved to a new wallet out of precaution and that thus far the hack only affected XEM (NEM) of which 526 million where stolen. Out of precaution Coincheck suspended credit card, Pay Easy, and convenience store payments and the trading of cryptocurrency was halted. Today Coincheck announced that they will pay back all their customers that lost funds due to the hack.
Lisk Real-time Market Data Available On Robinhood
This week the stock trading website Robinhood announced that commission-free cryptocurrency trading is coming to the Robinhood platform. Trading will first be limited to Bitcoin and Ethereum, with more coins tradeable later. Trading functionality for BTC and ETH will be released gradually in waves to Robinhood residents in California, Massachusetts, Missouri, Montana, and New Hampshire. Robinhood Crypto will be available in more states soon. Robinhood also announced the adding of 14 other cryptocurrencies which you can add to your watchlist, monitor real-timemarket data, read cryptocurrencies news, and create custom price alerts. One of these first 14 currencies added is Lisk, this is amazing news as this will help spread Lisk awareness amongst a more mainstream audience. Eventhough this is a great step for Lisk and cryptocurrency as a whole Robinhood did state that supporting market data for individual cryptocurrencies doesn't necessarily mean they plan to add buying and selling. As Lisk continues to grow in the future hopefully the chance of Lisk being added to the trading functionality grows along with it.
The Lisk Relaunch Ticket Winner
In last weeks roundup we reported on the giveaway of two tickets for the Lisk relaunch event on the 20th of Febuary. This Wednesday LiskHQ announced the winner of the contest : JordanTGhiglia. Congratulations on behalf of the Lisk.support team and we hope to see you in Berlin in a couple of weeks!
JAXenter interview
One of Lisk's full stack developers Will Clarck was recently interviewed by the website JAXenter. This is a website with all the news, articles and tutorials from the IT and programming world. JAXenter tracks the latest trends in Java as well as the hottest tools, databases, big data and cloud solutions. The short interview contains some questions about Lisk's prefered programming language Javascript. Questions such as how the use of JavaScript will make blockchain more accessible and why JavaScript and not another language. Will also explains what Lisk has to offer and what's next for Lisk. If you are not a developer then this interview can give you some quick information on why LiskHQ made the choice to go with Javascript as their programming language.
New Lisk Social Channels
This Tuesday Lisk announced some new Lisk social channels, the adding of these new channels was done in an effort to make communication accessible to all and continue Lisk's presence through all platforms. From now on LiskHQ will also be active on Telegram, Discord and Steemit. If you are active on these channels then don't forget to add LiskHQ and join the ever growing Lisk community.

Learn More About What True Reclamation Looks Like
Land and forest reclamation, when correctly done by professionals mitigates the impact of industrial footprints within an industrial development's life phase: beginning, interim or end of life. It can start at ground level, with removal of contaminated soil or applications to improve the health of nutritionally depleted soils. It may involve harvesting seeds to grow native plants and then replanting to restore vegetation.
Regardless of the task, proper reclamation solutions require knowledge of the land, ethics of the land developer, awareness of how development impacts the environment, and a combination of expertise in soil management, horticulture, native plants, climate, ecosystem goods and services, and the logistics required for safe work implementation.
Removing contaminated soil for treatment and storage.
From Complex Problems to Solid Solutions
We work with our clients to come up with a solid solution to any challenge.
Environmental Restoration
Using natural vegetation to regrow and reclaim used land.
The need for reclamation is huge on an international scale. Did you know…
In just one province of Canada (such as the jurisdiction of Alberta) there are:
Discontinued Well Sites
KM of Pipeline Requiring Reclamation Certificates
Active Well Sites in Alberta Alone (which will eventually require remediation)
New Wells Every Year
Interested in an example of land & forest remediation process, completed by Reclaimit Ltd.?
Excavation of Contaminated Soil
Over a 10-day period, Reclaimit oversaw the excavation and transfer of 34,000 tonnes of material from a contaminated well site to a treatment and storage facility.
From A Complex Problem to A Solid Solution
The remote site was only accessible by helicopter, so all workers and supplies were transported to nearby staging areas by air.
Hand tools were used to install water bars, develop drainage patterns and promote stability of the soils. The remote location prevented the use of heavy equipment. In addition, use of hand tools minimized further impact on the site. Large woody debris was placed on the access line to eliminate future access and support natural re-establishment by enhanced microsites for native plant establishmentTrees were planted to promote long-term stabilization of deeper soil.
A site monitoring visit six weeks later in mid October, (left) showed successful soil stabilization despite heavy autumn rains. A year later (right) the restored site blends into the surrounding forest.
Integrating Natural Vegetation
Reclaimit specializes in reclamation strategies that work with nature by using native plants as allies in restoring the land. A few advantages of this approach include: effective long-term erosion control; elimination of weed management; improved nutrient availability; reduced need for monitoring; and, less site preparation. All of these benefits combine to give you long-term savings in dollars and can used to tangibly demonstrate enhanced environmental stewardship; restoration of sites with native plants a solid way to demonstrate a broader social value for land management.
Gathering seeds is the first step in using native plants and natural vegetation. Cones, such as lodgepole pine, can be harvested in the winter (left) but some species – green alder – can only be harvested during a short period in the fall (right). Collected cones are shown below.
In 2007 Talisman Energy engaged to re-vegetate 200+ temporary work spaces along 34km of natural gas pipeline right of way in NW Alberta.

What is Networking?
network / nétwerk n. & v. a group of people who exchange information, contacts, and experience for professional or social purposes.
(The Oxford Dictionary)
Networking means different things to different people and some people see networking activity as a challenge. Whether you network to make new friends, find a new job, develop your current career, explore new career options, obtain referrals or sales leads, or simply to broaden your professional horizons, it is important to focus on networking as not only an exchange of information, contacts or experience but about building meaningful relationships. Relationships where you can share successes that you have had in a function or task – so that other people can learn from you or seek advice from your network on how to solve a problem that is keeping you awake at night.
In any industry or in your career networking helps you make connections in a personal way and build relationships that can provide you support, coaching, role modelling and friendship. Good networking provides you with a safe environment where you can share your successes as well as your challenges. You can often tap into other people's experience that can assist in challenges that you may be facing. Networking is a skill set no serious professional of the 21st Century can be without.
At MEUUS networking means developing respectful, meaningful connections, professionally, socially and commercially. A network where you can share information and seek advice when you need it. If you would like to attend one of our future networking events contact us today.

Matt Irwin is a singer/songwriter from Nashville, TN that has a melody all his own. A unique blend of soulful vocals, meaningful lyric, and diverse arrangements have shown that Matt's voice knows no genre and just speaks from the heart. Born and raised in small town Southeastern Missouri, music was always around and up front in the Irwin family, and Matt is just one of many to have a song in their heart and a tune to share with the world. Matt was taught to play the piano by his Grandmother at the age of 11, but never really cared for the lessons. His true love for music was realized when he began to make his own compositions by ear. He has since written hundreds of songs and performed on stages across the US, as well as had his first single release "Goodbye Starlight" featured on The Glee Project on The Oxygen Cable Network.

Other Notes
This simple and refreshing drink is sure to please the group at any gathering. The Moscow Mule emerged in the early 40's around the same time as The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver was coming of age. You can make it home with no trouble and if you can serve it in a signature copper mug even better. It's spicy ginger flavor make it a holiday favorite, although the squeeze of lime means it is equally refreshing on a warm summer day.

Origin: [From Ear to plow.]
Earth is the third planet from the Sun, and the densest and fifth-largest of the eight planets in the Solar System. It is also the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets. It is sometimes referred to as the world or the Blue Planet. Earth formed approximately 4.54 billion years ago, and life appeared on its surface within its first billion years. Earth's biosphere then significantly altered the atmospheric and other basic physical conditions, which enabled the proliferation of organisms as well as the formation of the ozone layer, which together with Earth's magnetic field blocked harmful solar radiation, and permitted formerly ocean-confined life to move safely to land. The physical properties of the Earth, as well as its geological history and orbit, have allowed life to persist. Estimates on how much longer the planet will be able to continue to support life range from 500 million years, to as long as 2.3 billion years. Earth's lithosphere is divided into several rigid segments, or tectonic plates, that migrate across the surface over periods of many millions of years. About 71% of the surface is covered by salt water oceans, with the remainder consisting of continents and islands which together have many lakes and other sources of water that contribute to the hydrosphere. Earth's poles are mostly covered with ice that is the solid ice of the Antarctic ice sheet and the sea ice that is the polar ice packs. The planet's interior remains active, with a solid iron inner core, a liquid outer core that generates the magnetic field, and a thick layer of relatively solid mantle.

The Standard Electrical Dictionary
(a) The earth is arbitrarily taken as of zero electrostatic potential. Surfaces in such condition that their potential is unchanged when connected to the earth are said to be of zero potential. All other surfaces are discharged when connected to the earth, whose potential, for the purposes of man at least, never changes. (b) As a magnetic field of force the intensity of the earth's field is about one-half a line of force per square centimeter. (c) The accidental grounding of a telegraph line is termed an earth, as a dead, total, partial, or intermittent earth, describing the extent and character of the trouble. [Transcriber's note: Fallen power lines can produce voltage gradients on the earth's surface that make walking in the area dangerous, as in hundreds of volts per foot. Lightning may be associated with substantial changes in the static ground potential.]
