Editor's Note: Wild Sage announced in January 2022 that both the downtown cafe and Fairgrounds Farmers Market stands "will be closing down in our current format for an undetermined period of time." A new place, Sweets Cafe & Juice Bar, now operates in the downtown location while Oola Bowls has the farmers market stand.
When it opened in Spring 2017, Wild Sage Coffee and Kitchen brought a unique vibe and menu to downtown Reading.
For the first year and a half after it opened, the cafe's hours were limited to weekday breakfast and lunch: great for those who live and work and downtown Reading but not great for people like me with a long commute.
Then last fall, Wild Sage introduced weekend hours, serving brunch every Saturday and Sunday. Now two years after Wild Sage opened for business, Julie and I finally had an opportunity to visit the little cafe on Washington Street.
The location is convenient to the downtown business district along the 700 block of Washington. We arrived to find the block parked full. Thankfully the Poplar and Walnut garage is right around the corner (the charge for up to an hour is $2 but we actually didn't have to pay anything when we put the ticket in the machine).
Before Wild Sage took over, the stone town home housed a doctor's office. The decor inside is simple with gray walls and a hardwood floor. The walls featured paintings and drawings from local artists. The bells on the door jangled with every passing car. "Our ghost," one employee joked as the sound caught my attention.
On weekends, the full menu – both breakfast and lunch – are available along with a select few brunch-only specials. The menu changes seasonally but always features soups, salads, sandwiches and grain bowls for lunch with sandwiches, toast, fruit bowls and select sweets at breakfast.
And of course they have a full menu of specialty drinks that includes coffee, tea, smoothies and more. I decided to try the iced chai tea while Julie went with a cold brewed tea.
Chai lattes are a favorite of mine, but not everyone offers a cold version of the spiced tea so I was excited to see it on Wild Sage's menu. It did not disappoint. It had the right blend of chai spice and creamy milk to make for a refreshing mid-morning drink. Julie also enjoyed her lavender lemon tea – unsweetened but with a strong, relaxing lavender flavor.
For our meals, I stuck with the breakfast side of the menu while Julie went with lunch.
My sweet tooth told me to order the cinnamon roll pancakes: two pancakes topped with a cream cheese glaze and candied walnuts with cinnamon sugar. They were a true indulgence.
The cream cheese glaze was delicious and the walnuts added some nice texture. But it was the cinnamon sugar, which had been nicely caramelized, that really hit on the perfect flavor combination.
I had also ordered a hash brown waffle, one of the sides listed on the brunch-only menu. Unfortunately I was told that it was no longer being offered. Instead of replacing it with bacon or a fried egg (the only other sides listed) I stuck with just the pancakes. I probably could have eaten something else but I really didn't need to so in the end I didn't miss it.
For her lunch, Julie went with a soup and sandwich combo. For the soup, she opted for their roasted red pepper soup. It was topped with feta cheese and balsamic drizzle, the former added a tang and a little creaminess.
The only complaint was that it could have been hotter. It was warm, but it wasn't the steaming cup of hot soup that would be expected.
Her maple bacon sandwich was also a winner in her book. It featured turkey, apple, cheddar cheese, bacon and a maple spread on thick-cut white toast.
Turkey, bacon and cheddar always go well together, and Julie enjoyed the addition of the maple spread -a sweet sauce – and the apples which gave the sandwich a crunchy texture.
Our meal was very good all around. And even with our two drinks, we spent less than $30 so I'd say it was a good deal as well.
I'm glad that Wild Sage added weekend hours so those of us outside the city can enjoy this great little cafe downtown. Hopefully more guests will take advantage of it because it seemed like a relatively slow day during what would be considered the lunch rush.
At least I can say that we will be back.

Five Reasons There are so Many Bad Meetings
Note: This article is a brief excerpt from Chapter Two of my new book, Making Meetings Matter: How Smart Leaders Orchestrate Powerful Conversations in the Digital Age (link is to the book's page on Amazon.com).
There don't seem to be any definitive statistics about how many meetings are held every day, but the estimates I have seen (and recalculated for myself) suggest that there are somewhere between eleven and twenty-four million corporate meetings a day in the United States alone. Even though that is a wide range, I am confident that there at least four billion meetings a year here in the U.S.!
However, as I am fond of saying, no one I know is dying for that next meeting to start.
Yet most people who work spend most of their time in meetings of one kind or another. Some studies claim that project team leaders and department managers typically spend between 40 percent and 60 percent of their work week in meetings. That amounts to well over 20 hours a week – not counting the time they spend preparing for those meetings or writing up post-meeting reports.
As Alan Webber, former editor of the Harvard Business Review and co-founder of Fast Company observed over twenty years ago, conversation is at the heart of knowledge-based work. It's how we exchange information, solve problems, test our ideas, create new knowledge, and connect with our colleagues and customers.
If we spend so many working hours in meetings of one kind or another, why do so many of them turn out so badly? I believe there are at least five factors affecting the quality of your meeting experiences:
1. We are already swimming in a sea of information
Meetings have served traditionally as an efficient means of sharing consistent information with a group of people who need to know. A team leader calls everyone into a conference room to report news to the group or to ask the participants to share project updates.
Yet digital technology today provides most of that kind of information more quickly and more accurately, and in formats that can be fine-tuned to individual needs. Whether it's email, Twitter, Jabber, Yammer, Slack, instant messaging, or project status websites, everyone who needs to know what's going on can get updates while sitting at their workstations, or on mobile devices no matter where they are.
Stopping everything else to sit in a closed conference room for an hour or more just doesn't make the same kind of sense it used to.
2. It's too easy to call meetings – and there is little accountability for results
It's just too easy for a team or department leader to schedule a meeting. And hardly anyone publishes a formal agenda or a statement of desired outcomes in advance of a meeting. As someone pointed out recently, most of us have a corporate expense authorization limit (typically $500 or $1000 unless you are reasonably high up in the hierarchy), but just about anyone can call a meeting with 5-10 people at a combined salary cost that is much higher.
3. Many meeting leaders don't define their purpose or the desired process clearly
There are many different reasons for calling a meeting; and the appropriate conversation process varies dramatically depending on the meeting's purpose and desired outcomes. An informational meeting should unfold differently from a decision-making meeting, which in turn is different from a creative brainstorming meeting. Yet all too often participants arrive at the meeting without any understanding of the agenda, the intended process, or the desired outcomes.
4. Most organizational cultures discourage candid conversation
When meetings are fun, respectful, and engaging the participants are curious, exploring ideas, listening actively, learning new and meaningful ideas, and often constructively challenging each other. But in many organizations today the dominant behavioral norms discourage even mild disagreements.
One of the biggest enemies of meaningful meetings is the tendency towards groupthink and an unwillingness to engage in any active discourse. Challenging someone's idea, or offering alternative approaches, means taking responsibility for conflict and change, and that can be stressful.
5. Many of us are not effective listeners and learners
The high levels of stress and overwork that affect so many of us these days make it genuinely difficult to hear ideas or arguments that run counter to our own experience and preferences. New ideas, or ideas that might complicate our own work, are hard to absorb. So we tend to shut them out, or at least dismiss them as not important or not doable.
Do these five factors make sense to you? What have I missed? Please comment below to share your own experience, and to contribute to my continuing research on making meetings matter.
I am pleased to announce that last week Dr. Jac Fitz-Enz, a true pioneer in HR measurement and management, published a wide-ranging interview with me, primarily about why I wrote Making Meetings Matter and the role meetings play in the digital age. Click here to read the interview.

Hungry Mother is not relocating from its current Kendall Square location into the nearby One Kendall Square complex as reported yesterday. Even better news: the restaurant is expanding to that space with an entirely different restaurant that appears to be in the deli vein. Yesterday the Boston Globe reported that the One Kendall Square complex is going up for sale, and noted that "Hungry Mother restaurant is also moving into the complex." A clarification was added to the original article, saying "This may have left the impression that the Hungry Mother restaurant in Cambridge is moving into the complex. The owners of the restaurant are keeping Hungry Mother in its present location in Cambridge and are considering opening another restaurant at One Kendall Square." Boston.com later published a follow-up article saying the Hungry Mother team is "preparing to open their second restaurant, a Jewish deli with modern touches."
The Boston Business Journal spoke with Hungry Mother co-owner Rachel Miller Munzer, who believes that deli fare may not be as different from Hungry Mother's current operation as it seems, saying "We smoke pork, and now we're going to smoke brisket." According to the BBJ, pickles and knishes will be offered at the new venue. Hungry Mother co-owner John Kessen tells Eater that the restaurant is indeed working on second spot, but says he is not yet ready to give further details.
If Hungry Mother does go deli, it will certainly be appreciated by the many Boston diners who have bemoaned the lack of a better deli scene here. For instance, this from The Phoenix restaurant critic MC Slim JB: "Boston's dining scene has its gaps (looking at you, Jewish deli)." Deli elements have surfaced at venues such as Michael Schlow's Fenway restaurant Happy's Bar + Kitchen, which serves a hot pastrami sandwich and at one time offered matzo ball soup, and at a recent preview of Steve "Nookie" Postal's upcoming restaurant Steinbones, which marries Jewish deli food and barbecue, but Boston still doesn't have an answer to the likes of New York's Montreal-style Mile End Deli, with locations in Brooklyn and NoHo. Which would be much appreciated, as put in a 2010 Boston Globe review of local delis*:
If any of these eateries were to take a cue from the new Mile End Delicatessen in Brooklyn, N.Y., and embrace the wave of rootsy, back-to-basics, ingredient-focused cooking that now defines so many restaurants, diners would surely take notice. As "Save the Deli'' author David Sax said in a recent conversation, delis offering more in-house specialties might remind patrons that these were the places that smoked and cured meats and made their own pickles long before your neighborhood gastropub.
Hopefully, the time has now come for Hungry Bubbie.

Role-playing games really are a very specialist kind of game that basically require a far greater attention to detail than other less immersive genres. While the computerized version of the genre took off there have been a bundle hungry companies who made a decision to storm to the genre without really attempting to know what the vital elements of a role-playing game are. In some instances, these companies have actually had the audacity to get out smaller companies who did know the genre and they destroyed long-held legacies of great traditional games.
Given that this could have an impact on the continuing future of computerized role-playing games I have felt it to be of importance to educate these gaming giants in an attempt to simply help them understand the thing that matters to them. To be able to sell role-playing games you need an audience willing to get the merchandise and if a company consistently puts out dodgy shooters in the guise of apparent role-playing games they'll only destroy their reputation and go bankrupt. I realize that the word bankrupt is a phrase why these money hungry companies recognises and so I emphasise one time, sell dodgy shooters to role-playing fans and you will go bankrupt!
Personally, I have already been a role-playing gamer for about thirty years and I fell deeply in love with only two systems that I probably can't name as a result of article writing guidelines. What I will say is that hardly any game producing companies attended even near to the pen and paper versions of the best role-playing games on the market, you understand, the ones that people actually enjoy playing. I will say that I rejoiced when role-playing games became computerized as it meant BSG Game Help I possibly could do my role-playing without the need to hunt for people with similar tastes and even though some games have increased to become great role-playing games, they're sadly few and far between. On that note, of the types of role-playing games including pen and paper, computerized games and online games, there is only 1 type that could meet with the fully immersive needs of a role-player and I'll reveal why later.
Okay, what're the weather of a great role-playing game then? I'll offer you one at a time but ab muscles most critical piece of advice to remember during this whole discussion is immersion. To become a truly great role-playing game, it has to grab the players attention and not deliver diversions that enable the gamer to slip back to the reality of the true world. The gamer should be kept in the fictional world if they're to feel they've experienced a great role-playing game.
One of the very vital elements of immersion is really a storyline; an extremely believable and yet gripping storyline. A position player doesn't wish to stock up the most recent game and find with their dismay that storyline contains the flimsy idea they've to kill heaps of things to have enough experience to kill the apparent bad guy. Who would like to play a game where in fact the bad guy is designated the bad guy without good reason? Perhaps you have played a game what your location is part of just one group of people and you've been chosen to defeat one other group of people but there's no actual evidence that shows why one other group is bad? The worst of they are the recent thug games where one criminal organisation wants to defeat another criminal organisation and you're the hitman. Who is really that stupid to fall for this kind of terrible storyline? It's most certainly not for intelligent role-players.
An excellent storyline can't be a shallow excuse for a war and it needs to be something you'd want to be a part of. The storyline also needs to be within the gameplay itself and delivered in ways that doesn't interrupt the reality of the gameplay either. There's nothing worse than the usual big cut-scene that drops into the center of the overall game and allows you to sit idle for higher than a minute or two. For role-play gamers, the immersion of the overall game originates from being the type, not from watching the cut-scenes as you were watching television. What's next… advertisements?
Another element of a great action experience will be aware that you've been a part of the fictional world since you're born. This is conveyed by knowing where things are on the planet and knowing who the present leaders are, along with knowing current events. This can be done cleverly by feeding snippets of information in an all-natural manner during conversations with non-player characters. Some extremely vital information may be revealed in otherwise meaningless banter, the same as on the planet you're immersed in right now.
A very important factor that will jolt a part player out of a game is an immediate unwanted conversation with a hastily introduced character who explains where the next local town is and that you need to be careful because there's a war on or some such thing. This is only done in games where in fact the maps are updated as you see places of interest. Creating a major city that lies not ten miles from your present position something that you've to find out is ridiculous at best and only suits scenarios where you've been teleported right into a new reality or you've lost your memory even though the latter should be properly used sparingly as you can find already too many games on the market that count on the type having amnesia. Discovery may be implemented in a lot more subtle ways by having secret areas within already well-known places and it is this that offers a role-player an expression of discovery.
Another immersion problem is the introduction of a love curiosity about a game without any participation on your own part. You're playing away, minding your personal business and then all an immediate, among the infatuated characters that there is a constant knew existed, has an impact on gameplay because of a supposed vital role they play in the group you're a part of. They ought to, at the least, allow a bit of flirting in the conversation paths before a love interest is thrust to the mix. For me, someone suddenly having that type of interest is an immersion breaker because there clearly was almost nothing that prompted a relationship. If you have a love interest possibility in the overall game, then it needs to be introduced in a believable way and shouldn't be from the characters control.
There was one game in which this happened and the involvement of two love interests was the excuse for among the non-player characters to do worse at being a help while one other became a great support. Sure, the idea was novel but it had been also very childish since it assumed that those two love interests were so enamoured with the gamer that neither could do without him. It was worse than watching Baywatch or Desperate Housewives.
I'm only going to incorporate yet another element to the mix because I recently wouldn't reach a summary if I allowed myself to indicate every requirement of the best role-playing games. As I stated before, the important factor is immersion. A genuine deal breaker for me personally is the shortcoming to develop the sort of character I want. I've encountered this more regularly than not in games where you've no choice over the skills that you character can develop. Obviously, here is the worst scenario and there are many games that enable limited development but you can find only a handful of games that enable an actual sense of development.
A really great role-playing game has to permit players to develop in just about any direction and compensate with this flexibility by incorporating multiple paths through the game. There's no point in making a computerized role-playing game if the type does a similar thing in most single play through of the game. The absolute most annoying of those issues is really a game where you could have a spell wielding character but they develop the same spells at the exact same point in most run of the game. It's a tad bit more forgivable for warrior types but even in cases like this there are many games which allow for a large number of different fighting styles.
Unlike table-top games, you aren't interrupted by the requirement to physically touch base and move pieces which takes you from the role of the piece itself. In comparison to pen and paper games, you aren't required to appear up tables or enter long boring discussions on how rules ought to be interpreted. Massively multiplayer online role-playing games don't meet the requirements either and I know some of you will be surprised but when was the last time you're playing a computerized role-playing game and among the other players had to leave because they'd to visit work and they informed you it had been an alternative time in their part of the world.

Press play to listen to this article
Voiced by artificial intelligence.
France is cooking up plans to restrict food imports into Europe if they hail from countries with laxer rules than the EU in spheres such as child labor, deforestation and chemicals.
Ever at the vanguard of Europe's battle to preserve its gastronomic heritage, France's President Emmanuel Macron is leading this culinary crusade before Paris takes over the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU next year. As Europe targets a green transition and France faces a crunch election in April 2022, Macron argues it's essential to create a level playing field on trade to ensure EU food is not undercut by cheap rival imports produced with lower standards.
But this push could set the Europeans up for a showdown at the World Trade Organization (WTO), where big agri-exporting countries are likely to contest the legality of France's scheme.
"We cannot ask our farmers to make more efforts and, the next day, import products coming from regions that" do not play by the same rules, Macron said last week during the "Great Rendez-vous of Food Sovereignty," a major event marking the launch of a freshly baked strategy for food sovereignty, which has been elevated to the highest ranks of the political agenda.

The EU's Farm to Fork and Green Deal strategies for greener food systems mean farmers across the Continent are facing a 50 percent cut in the risk and use of pesticides, while other initiatives also mean they're in for a big squeeze on animal welfare or environmental protection.
France's big food sovereignty ambitions come as the European Parliament is locked in fraught negotiations to ensure that the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy — the EU's €270 billion farm subsidies scheme — can move the EU closer to this fair-trade goal. Parliament shares Macron's priorities but the Council of the EU is fighting back against anything concrete happening in the current CAP talks, meaning all eyes are on a big push by Paris during the French presidency early next year.
"The Parliament has been very ambitious in demanding from all the products that enter the EU that they respect our standards, and in particular our environmental standards," said Anne Sander, a French MEP with the right-leaning European People's Party (EPP) involved in CAP negotiations.
In trade terms, it is difficult, however, to target production techniques rather than the quality of the final product. Sam Lowe, a trade expert at the Centre for European Reform, said that while rules relating to the standards of a final product — for example, on food safety — were "fairly well understood, the more tricky issue is rules around processing and production methods."
He said that while EU leaders could have some room for maneuver, these kinds of restrictions are "much more difficult to justify in a WTO-compatible manner" and largely dependent on how well the EU plays its trade cards.
"In the context of free trade agreements, the EU can of course place conditions on preferential access to its market, and these conditions can extend to production methods," Lowe said, citing the case of the post-Brexit U.K., which got to keep its trade perks on the condition that it "stayed in step" with EU rules on subsidies, labor and environmental rules. "Also, in the context of the Mercosur trade deal [with South American countries], there is one tariff-rate quota for eggs that can only be used for eggs produced in a certain way," he added.
Food king
Macron has teamed up with reform-minded MEPs on this, as he seeks to please his country's powerful but increasingly battered farming sector ahead of his reelection bid next year. His plan centers on what he calls "mirror clauses." If Europe lives up to certain standards, those should be reflected in trading partners.
"Above all, we defend mirror clauses, which will allow us to have our own constraints reflected back to us by the people with whom we trade," Macron said at the event last week. "It's common sense.
"We have, in South America, countries that are deforesting, that do not have the same limitations as we do on phytosanitary products, that do not have the same labor requirements as us," he said of the EU-Mercosur deal, which remains in limbo after he yielded to farm lobby pressure and blocked the ratification process despite complaints from other capitals.
To shore up farmer support, Macron and his allies have cast the battle against lopsided agri-food trade as a question of national security and identity and stressed that France was ready to fight off this "environmental and social dumping" directly out of Brussels.
"We need to go much further today. The French presidency of the EU has to proudly bring up the question of mirror clauses, which is for me a way out of this dependency from production systems that do not respect our standards," French Agriculture Minister Julien Denormandie said at the same event that Macron attended last week.
The Council, negotiating the CAP reform on behalf of EU countries, has succeeded in stalling the Parliament's trade reform push by wooing MEPs with a non-binding political declaration, whose contents remain a major sticking point of the talks, and which Sander hailed as a paradigm shift in Brussels and a "first step."
"The three institutions today agree on saying that products that enter the EU must respect our standards — that's already a massive step taken," she said.
But a Parliament official close to the talks said the CAP was the crucial ticket to act on this, and that, after it was wrapped up, it was unclear which legal file would fit the bill for this kind of policy change.
"The [Council] presidency can do a lot of things — but they can't propose regulation," they said. "Whatever we can already get now is always better than what we might get in the future."
During ongoing CAP talks this week, France's Denormandie doubled down on the need for the EU to "export its standards and stop having foreign standards imposed on its own common market," but EU governments remain acres apart on the issue and several loose ends may still remain by the time its Council presidency comes around.
According to Lowe, "it is possible for the EU to insert lots of conditionality into its trade deals," and have trade partners accept it, but that will largely hinge on what Brussels is willing to offer — and give away.
"Other countries might be willing to accept strict level playing field conditionality if the EU will then allow them to sell loads of products tariff-free into the EU — but not if they can only sell small amounts," he said.

Irish Americans of Cleveland
History of the Cleveland Irish
Working on the Docks: The Iron Ore Terriers
from The Irish Americans & Their Communities of Cleveland
by Nelson J. Callihan &
William F. Hickey
When stating before that the docks were "all," as far as the Cleveland Irish were concerned, it was my intent to use the word as a collective that included every activity that could possibly be connected tot he docks. The Flats, the heart of Irishtown, was also the industrial center of Cleveland, as well as the commodity exchange center. By 1840 there were four iron foundries located there and a "manufactory" for machine tools and, of course, several shipbuilding companies. The city's true wealth lay in shipping, and that encompassed a plethora of businesses, all of which held possibilities for employment among the Irish.
Although iron, in one form or another, had been transported to the city for a number of years, the discovery of vast amounts of iron ore in Minnesota in 1852 was to guarantee the Irish of Cleveland solid work well beyond the turn of the 20th Century. Although the precious red mineral wasn't much at first because of limited need--the first shipments in the 1830's were of such small quantity that they could be handled in a few barrels on the deck of a passenger vessel--as the city developed into an industrial giant, it was delivered daily, thousands of tons at a time.
As the foundries and mills expanded, due to advances in metallurgy and the demands of a surging economy, the necessity to build cargo ships specially designed to carry ore became imperative. Hulking wooden vessels were built that were practically all holds, some capable of transporting 300 tons of ore.
It took 100 men four days to put that much ore into one of these vessels and took an equal number of unloaders seven days to clear the holds. By rights it should have taken eight days, for it is at least twice as hard to bring ore up out of a ship as it is to drop it down into one.
The job of unloading those ore-ladden monsters was the sole province of the Irish. It was unbelievingly back-breaking work, every bit the equal of canal digging and probably worse. The first tools the Irish were given to accomplish their task were rather primitive ones -- a shovel and a basket. Through the benevolence of the shippers, they soon graduated to the shovel and the wheelbarrow. What made the work unbearable is that it got more difficult as it went along.
The reason for that was simple. The ore was unloaded, quite naturally, from top to bottom. Filling a barrow and running down a gangplank wasn't too difficult, as long as the ore was near the surface of the hatch. However, as one removed more and more ore, he found himself standing deeper and deeper in the hold of a ship. Now he had to push the loaded barrow up a board plank as well. When he neared the bottom of the hold, he could barely see daylight -- he had a long way to go.
Yankee ingenuity came into play within a short time, prodded as it was by economic reasons. The shippers had a series of platforms erected in each hold, thereby enabling the shovelers to raise ore to the deck more expeditiously.' More ingenuity on the part of the shippers resulted in a pulley system being devised, which allowed oversized buckets to be hooked up to a team of mules on the docks. When a bucket was filled, the mules would be spurred into action and their resultant straining would hoist the bucket of ore out of the hold and deposit it on the dock. It was not uncommon for 40 teams of mules to be employed in various combinations on a given day.
It was not only the shoveling of ore 12 hours a day that made the job somewhat less than enjoyable, but the red mineral itself. The Irish who unloaded the ore came to be known as "Iron Ore Terriers," though no one seems to know how that appellation came into use. Some insisted that the shovelers reminded people of that scruffy, yappy breed of canine, while others claimed it was because the ore gave them the same coloring as a breed of terrier quite common in those days.
Whatever the truth of the matter, iron ore presented a problem. To appreciate fully how these men spent their days from dawn to dusk, envision the hold of a ship, sloping, inward-pressing, almost claustrophobic. They were without ventilation, cold and clammy in both spring and autumn and stifling in the months between. Then consider that the first strike of a shovel stirred a wisp of ore that did not dissipate, but floated from one side of the hold to the other. In an hour's time, a dozen men could raise a pall of dust through which it was barely possible to see.
The dust clung to the Terriers' clothing and exposed parts of their bodies as if it were glue. The metallic particles had a way of grinding themselves into a man's skin so deeply that it all but precluded their removal. The ore dust especially found a residence in the Terriers' beard stubble. Talk about five o'clock shadow -- the Irish dock workers practically invented it. More than that, however, the dust permeated the lungs of the Terriers and left its mark, a persistent cough that grew steadily more troublesome. The men so afflicted thought little of it, considering it an acceptable aspect of the job. There were hazards attendant to all laboring jobs in the mid-19th Century and only later, too late to do anything about it, would these men learn that they had developed their own brand of silicosis.
One can imagine the condition of the Terriers' lungs merely by momentarily considering what it did to their exposed skin, particularly the face. While it became a subject of humor, for what else could one make of it, those who shoveled iron ore for a living found it difficult to obtain the services of a barber for their Saturday evening shave. Any number of newspaper articles of the time attest to that minor deprivation.
However, if a Terrier were fortunate enough to find a barber willing to shave him, he was forced to pay exactly double the going rate, as the tonsorial specialists insisted that, if they didn't charge double, they would all be forced out of business. Shaving a Terrier meant premature replacement of his working tool and it was said at the time that the razor hadn't been invented that could stand up to a Terrier's beard…
Be that as it all may, for his 12 hours a day in the hold of a ship and all that the work entailed, the Terrier could look forward only to a bare subsistence recompense. It provided him enough to sustain life, but not a great deal more. Of course, he didn't need all that much until he married and the children came along, for his shelter was a tarpaper shack or a clapboard lean-to, his clothing little more than a rough-hewn coat and pair of pants and his food a high calorie collection of edibles that filled far more than they nourished.
Still, life wasn't too bad, all things considered, and no one appreciated that fact more fully than the early Irish in Cleveland and their brethren who came after the Famine. Despite his talents as an outspoken complainer about the system in general and his Yankee employers in particular, an Irishman settling here knew in his heart of hearts that life along the banks of the Cuyahoga was infinitely better than that back home…
There is a simple truth about the Irish that should be known: They could never have survived the hardships they faced in America if they hadn't been forged into a steely mentality in the crucible of suffering that was Ireland. They could not have survived the horrors of their homeland, if it were not for their near-incredible faith in the triune God, along with all his angels and blessed saints, who presided over the affairs of mankind. It was, in fact, this deep faith that gave the Irishman a fundamental decency despite his brawling ways, that spurred him to make heroic sacrifices in order to educate his children so they might partake of a far better life than he would ever know, and to build orphanages and almshouses. However boisterous he might have been, he would never be one to shun a neighbor in need, nor forget to say a prayer for the dead.
That always has been the Irishman's way -- only one foot on the ground and the other stretching upward toward his promised heaven. To be sure, to have survived living in Ireland and the crossing of the Atlantic required more than natural help and no one knew that more than an Irishman squatting in a hovel on Whiskey Island. Indeed, it was a time to count blessings.

Why You Need an ATM
- Eliminate Credit & Debit Card Fees. By directing your customers to the ATM, you can eliminate the credit card fees you are currently paying.
- Control bad debt. Cash does not bounce! When a customer uses cash from an ATM it cuts down the charge backs, disputes, bad checks, and the stress associated with these.
- Enhanced Location Image. Business owners and clients agree that locations providing ATM services are considered more desirable and convenient than those without.
- Increased Customer Traffic. It is statistically proven that locations providing an ATM for public use increase the businesses foot traffic by an average of 5%.
- Promote Impulse Buying. Studies show ATM card carriers and users spend 20% to 25% more in a given location than traditional credit card users – cash vs. plastic.
- Additional Customer Convenience. Two-thirds of the nation's population carries ATM cards. If a location is not providing ATM services, customers may look elsewhere.
- Increased Inside Sales. Studies show that an average of 40% to 60% of the cash withdrawn from an ATM is spent at that location – this percentage rises to 70% to 80% at nightclubs.
Get an ATM at your Location.
I have several options I can offer to make it easy to start putting cash in your customer's hands.
#1) I can sell you an ATM machine. Machines run from $1,900 for a refurbished machine to $2,990 for a new. The advantage to owning the machine outright is that you make the majority of the money from the surcharge. Based on a $3.00 surcharge you would make $2.80.
#2) We Own the machine and you fill the machine. With this option, we would place an ATM machine at your location, and you would fill the machine with cash. The advantage to this option is that you do not have to come out of pocket with the money for the cost of the ATM. In this scenario, we would split the surcharge revenue 50/50 and I would be responsible for all costs associated with the machine including parts and shipping.
I hope that you can see how beneficial an ATM would be to your establishment.
Give me a call and let's work together on getting an ATM in you location.

The right whale that died in the waters off Maine in recent days had no name, but rather a number – 3694 – given to her by researchers at the New England Aquarium, who track this endangered species in the North Atlantic.
She was young, just coming into her reproductive years and had tangled with fishing gear once before, sometime in the past four years.
Since she was first spotted in 2006, 3694 had been seen and identified 26 times – eight times from vessels, the rest from the air, either from planes or drones. Before the crew on a whale-watching trip out of Boothbay spotted her, floating on the surface and wrapped in fishing gear ropes Friday, the last time anyone had made a positive identification of 3694 was in Florida waters. That was Feb. 12. At that time she was swimming freely, unencumbered by any fishing line.
The New England Aquarium's best guess on her age is that she was calved in 2005, making her 11½ at the time of her death. She was probably just entering her reproductive years – right whales begin to reproduce at age 10, and give birth every three to five years after that.
Because she was spotted in Florida, the largest calving ground for right whales, it's possible she did give birth this year and lost the calf, but that's just speculation. "We won't be able to prove that she was pregnant," said Amy Knowlton, research associate with the New England Aquarium.
She'd been sighted in Cape Cod Bay, the Great South Channel, the Gulf of Maine and farther out, in the mid-Atlantic. But very little was known about this whale.
"She was hard for us to match because she didn't have distinctive scars or markings," Knowlton said. "She was a tough one."
She had a small white scar on her chin, and another near her left blowhole. They were minor. Sometime after 2012 she had a tussle with fishing line, which left a leading edge fluke scar. But it was minor.
Because of this lack of obvious identifiers, 3694 never got a name, which researchers give only when there is a feature on a whale that helps them identify the creature. (The number itself does not signify an overall count of North Atlantic right whales. There are now about 476 of them, scientists said.)
She'd never been darted to collect a tissue sample for genetic testing, a tool that whale researchers have been using since the late 1980s to determine the exact parentage of calves as well as their gender. Indeed, until the necropsy conducted at Benson Farm in Gorham over the weekend, not even 3694's sex was known.
She weighed about 45 tons and was 43 feet long, big enough that a tractor-trailer was required to bring her from Portland – where a Coast Guard boat had towed her – to Gorham.
When the Cap'n Fish's Whale Watching cruise out of Boothbay spotted 3694 at around 1:30 p.m. Friday, she was already dead. At first, they took her for a log. "They decided to go look closer," said John Fish, owner of the popular whale-watching line. "It was a whale all wrapped up in fishing gear that it had been choked out. It is a sad way to die."
There's no doubt, Knowlton said, that she died from what is called "chronic entanglement" among whale researchers.
"It's not a pretty ending," Knowlton acknowledged. Number 3694 could have been wrapped in the line for months. It was in her mouth, so it's possible she picked it up while feeding. Right whales are especially susceptible to such entanglements because they feed on plankton near the surface, swimming slowly with their mouths wide open.
"Clearly it got very wrapped up," Knowlton said. "Ropes are very strong now and when (whales) can't break through, they are going to continue to struggle. And that is what happened with her."
Most of the right whales surveyed in the Bay of Fundy this summer had begun to leave by mid-September, so it's likely that 3694 was on the move. The Boothbay region is not known as a high-use area for right whales, Knowlton said.
Although Fish said it has been a great year for whale-watching in general, with tourists enjoying up-close looks at humpbacks, minke, fin whales and even Sei whales, right whales have been conspicuously absent. "That was the only right whale we've seen in a long, long time," Fish said.
He said the captain of the boat and the marine biologist who narrates during the cruise had told him that the whale had not started to give off odors and there were no obvious signs of shark damage to the corpse, suggesting the whale hadn't been dead long. Last year when the crew spotted a humpback tangled in gear and called it in – the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has an emergency line for just such cases – a team was able to free the humpback.
There were no other whales around 3694 when she was spotted.
As an individual, 3694 may have lacked much of a profile; there was not even enough that was distinctive about her to go by a nickname – Chin Scar, for instance. But as part of the small collective of right whales and those who track them, her death will be felt as potential lost at sea, the potential to perpetuate the species by becoming a mother.
"She was just getting to that age," Knowlton said. "That is why this is even more of a sad loss."

Apple has released iOS 4.3, the latest version of its operating system for iPhones, iPads and the iPod touch.
Although some will be excited by the promise of faster performance from Safari, better video streaming and the thought of sharing their iTunes library over WiFi around the home, perhaps the most important reason to install the update onto your Apple gadgets is security.
According to Apple, the new iOS 4.3 update includes a number of critical security patches – some of which are designed to prevent vulnerabilities being exploited that could lead to malicious code being run on your iPhone or iPad.
Details of the security fixes are included in an Apple knowledgebase article, and include protecting against maliciously-crafted TIFF image files that could be used to run malicious code on your device, and multiple memory corruption issues exist in WebKit, which could mean that visiting a…

Last Friday, there was an unusual joint announcement from Apple and Google providing details of a new phone API for Covid-19 contact tracing via Bluetooth. The protocol allows mobile phones to continually transmit Bluetooth advertisements to one another. This includes a proximity identifier derived from randomly generated keys that can be held secretly on each device. If a phone user is later diagnosed with Covid-19, they are able to upload the daily tracing keys for those days when they might have been infectious.
Apps using this tracing mechanism will download the daily tracing keys for new infections and derive the proximity codes that would have been transmitted by the infected user's phone. If there are matches then this means that the user has been in close proximity to that person in the past, and is at a higher risk of infection. Since only daily tracing keys need to be sent, rather than all of the individual proximity codes, the data remains compact so that all apps can download all of the new diagnosis information every day. Thus the server cannot determine from the backend server accesses made if a given user has been in contact with a potentially infectious person. Users of the app remain completely anonymous and cannot be tracked, and their contacts remain private. A more detailed analysis of the cryptography is provided in "Contact Tracing: The Most Amazing And Scariest Technology of The 21st Century".
The basic approach outlined is remarkably similar to the one we published a couple of weeks ago, and to others published at similar times. So we of course welcome the fundamentally privacy preserving aspects of the proposal. There are many groups working on similar apps, including the TCN coalition.
A key practical benefit of the Apple/Google proposal is that it will allow iOS devices to transmit their IDs even when the app is in background and the phone is locked. This is not something that can be done currently, hindering the usability of contact tracing apps on iOS and forcing the use of connection based approaches rather than Bluetooth advertising only. It also ensures that there is full interoperability between iOS and Android devices, and that there is effectively a de facto international standard for the derivation and matching of the proximity IDs.
Apple and Google are not initially planning to build the contact tracing apps themselves, although it seems that this might be part of their long term plans, or to build the features directly into the OS. This will take longer to achieve, and since Google doesn't have such a tight grip on its OS update ecosystem this might be more problematic for them. They have already decided that they need to push out the basic protocol through the play store. So in the meantime it is up to the numerous country specific and international efforts to build the apps, and the backend systems to support them.
What has been gained in privacy by the underlying protocol can be easily lost in the implementation of the app. Any given app might include trackers that could fundamentally undermine the privacy of its users, as research from the Defensive Lab Agency shows. Some of this tracking capability might be unintentional, and simply a side effect of the SDKs and approaches normally used to build consumer facing apps. But we must hold these apps to higher ethical standards. What might be deemed acceptable in some consumer app just isn't right for an app that we might need to install to return to normal life. Moreover, the larger the code base of the app, the higher the chance that some unintended personal information leakage is exposed and undermines confidence in the whole exercise. It seems that the developers of most contact tracing apps have at least agreed to make them available as open source, but continued static analysis is crucial to ensure this corresponds to what is actually available in the app store. Further, there can be no assurity of what is actually running on the backend so any transmission of potentially personally identifiable information has to be taken very seriously.
Widespread use of the app brings some new security risks, such as a new form of trolling - fake diagnosis disclosures. In the UK, limited access to testing is driving an approach whereby users simply need to answer a questionnaire to broadcast their self diagnosis to other app users. Excellent API security between the contact tracing app and the API used to disclose a new infection is critical. Successful scripted attacks on this backend could wreak havoc on the system's ability to operate. Since the user authentication bar for making a diagnosis disclosure is necessarily low, the system cannot differentiate real and faked information. Attempting to transmit large scale faked diagnosis codes to all users could effectively bring down the entire system. As we said in our recent blog Covid-19 App User Anonymity Mandates App Authentication, we need to at least ensure that only official versions of the app can even make these requests to limit this possibility.
Beyond this though there is an even more disconcerting attack scenario - spoofing. Imagine if large numbers downloaded a variant of the app that, instead of transmitting a unique set of codes for that particular app instance, all transmitted the same proximity codes. This could be achieved by simply rebroadcasting the codes from an authentic version of the app, or by using an app that is always synchronised to the same code sequence. The Apple/Google implementation doesn't appear to allow the app to explicitly set the codes, presumably for this very reason, but there doesn't appear to be anything to stop any Android device emulating the beacon format used in the protocol with arbitrary codes. For maximum coverage, the Bluetooth transmission power could be maximised too. To any official version of the app the advertising beacons will look exactly like just another user. If those codes are subsequently disclosed as being from a user with a fake positive diagnosis, then everyone who has been exposed to this attack will be notified of potential contact, causing significant disruption and undermining confidence in the system. In our paper we referred to this as a Scaled Replay attack. We suggest that it is necessary for the quantity, and perhaps locations, of those matching any individual diagnosis disclosure be measured as an additional step in the API protocol. This way disclosures resulting in suspiciously high counts can be revoked. But of course, this additional security step adds significant complexities in maintaining privacy for individual diagnosis. There is naturally a tradeoff between privacy and security which needs to be carefully balanced.
There are some other higher level app design considerations too. We are told that use of the app will be entirely voluntary, justified as a public health intervention for everyone's benefit. But even if a state doesn't impose mandatory usage, and only seeks to behaviourally nudge its populace into compliance, that doesn't prevent others from doing so. In the post lockdown world it is easy to imagine a scenario in which would-be patrons are asked to show their app status before they are allowed to enter clubs, bars or restaurants. A potentially fearful future in which only those who acquiesce to compliance have true freedoms. It is crucial that the design of the app anticipates this possibility and designs accordingly. It shouldn't be possible to open the app and see the current status, notifications need to be made so that they can be deleted so only the user, not the app, retains the status.
It is clear that in the last few weeks we have made huge strides in designing approaches that can preserve privacy for contact tracing apps. However, the task is not complete until the full system is scrutinised and shown to provide the appropriate trade offs for a privacy preserving, but secure, post Covid-19 lockdown world.

What is an Air Conditioning Load Calculation?
If you are considering getting a new air conditioner or looking in to the performance of your present system, one of the first things to assess is a load calculation.
What exactly does that include? Basically, it comes down to making sure that you get an appropriately-sized system for your home. Getting the incorrect size or type can have a variety of implications from the inability to keep your house cool to running so hard that it reduces its life.
Every home is unique; home size, number of windows and type, insulation and even the direction the home faces are key considerations. Bigger isn't always better. It isn't wise to get an air conditioner that is larger than what you need for your home. The equipment could cost more and you'll be paying to run a system that is more than what you need. Air conditioners also help to lower humidity levels in the home and an oversized system will not properly dehumidify the air which may also lead to bad indoor air quality.
You also don't want a model that is too little and unable to keep up. Not only does this effect the cooling of your home during the warmer times, but it'll also make the unit run more.
With a variety of different models and sizes, it can be intimidating to know where to begin. Lucky for you, this isn't something you need to tackle on your own. The Expert team at Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning can provide you with a full load calculation assessment on your home. The heating and cooling load calculation takes into account the home's structure, roof, windows, direction and location to determine the size and type of equipment needed. Any company that won't provide this detailed analysis can't appropriately provide an accurate quote for the replacement of your air conditioner or even give you the best more accurate price of a new system.
Not only does this assessment help figure out which system is best for you, but it should also help you see the extra savings of high-efficiency products. You may not think to factor in utility costs when making your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can provide will have a positive impact on your family's budget. Our experts can walk you through what you'll need to live comfortably in your home and share some thoughts on how to reduce energy usage through a variety of features available.
Whether you are in need of a new air conditioning system or looking to improve your home's efficiency and comfort level, the professionals at Service Experts in Fort Lauderdale are happy to help. You can call us at 954-736-4314 or easily request an appointment with our online scheduler.

23 November, 2022 seen 80,039More than 10 years ago I first landed at the Tbilisi airport and for the first time took a step on Georgian land. That happened on April 1st, 2011 - I like this data - it's known Worldwide as a Fool's day. With this article, originally I was celebrating my fourth year living in Georgia. But now, the article has grown into one of the most popular articles…
Today and yesterday I red some articles, claiming that record number of foreigners have visited Georgia in 2013.
According to Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia - 5 365 356 foreigners crossed Georgian border in 2013.
Why I dont like this data?
Well in 2013, I have crossed Georgian border for some 6 times I guess. 3 times leaving and 3 times entering. So one me accounts for at least 3 times, right? It depends how to count.
Ok, lets dig deeper:
Georgian side have canceled VISA regime for Russian citizens, by knowing fact that many, I will not name the number, Georgians live in Russia, and obtains Russian passport, and since Mikheil Saakashvili is no more in office, are visiting their homeland country. By the way, Russian citizens entering Georgia, have the 4th highest rate. Turkey, Armenia, and Azarbaijan, ranking 1st.
About Turkey side I have more questions, Sarpi - the Turkey/Georgia border some 18 km of Batumi - many Georgians do some smaller trade by entering Turkey, purchasign some goods and returning to Georgia. How many times they have been counted, and maybe as Turkish citizens?
In 2013, I haven't crossed Sarpi border check, but in 2012 and 2011, I have crossed it for some 20 times at least. You may laugh, but not for traiding purposes - I really like Turkey, and some 200 km from Sarpi border check there is a Trabzon Airport, offering cheap and connections to rest of Turkey.
So, yes - the number is good, but is it counted right?

If we are talking about countries as much as individuals, then it was Jamaica, Mongolia, Georgia and then Bahrain….
If you want to know why, check out Justine's blog.
Jamaica won 6 gold medals, 3 silvers and 2 bronze and they have a population of 2.71 million. So, in Jamaica, for every 246,727 people, one won a medal. If the USA had achieved that ratio, then they would have won 10 times as many medals as they did.
However, it is the GDP per person which is particularly telling.
There is apparently a physical reason why Jamaicans are good sprinters though…

Building a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) program begins with educating your organization's leaders—current and future. To be successful, this learning must start with the foundation of trust and psychological safety. Only then will teams be able to have productive conversations that lead to meaningful change within their organizations.
This article explains what we mean by trust and psychological safety, why creating a climate of trust and psychological safety are essential leadership skills, and 5 actionable strategies to set this crucial foundation for your DEI&B programs.
What's the Difference Between Trust and Psychological Safety?
While trust and psychological safety are similar and are often confused for one another, there are important distinctions between the two.
Trust is built in relationships between two people. Trust is deeply personal. Foundational to any DE&I program is developing trust between coworkers and colleagues—and learning how to build trust more quickly, a concept known as "swift trust."
Psychological safety is building trust within a group. This means people feel that the group is safe for them to be vulnerable; they are empowered to share ideas and be their authentic selves.
It's important to note that lack of trust between individuals in a group can quickly erode the psychological safety of the larger group. That's why both of these elements are so critical.
Why are Trust and Psychological Safety So Important?
Trust and psychological safety are foundational to any DE&I program, and they are must-have leadership skills in the modern workplace. Without trust and psychological safety, teams will struggle to have productive conversations about key issues such as race and bias in their organizations. When team members don't feel safe, they stay quiet—which increases the likelihood that problems will be missed.
The value of trust in the workplace is not new. Neuroscientist and economist Paul Zak's research shows that people at high-trust companies report 74% less stress, 106% more energy at work, 50% higher productivity, 13% fewer sick days, 76% more engagement, 29% more satisfaction with their lives, and 40% less burnout than people at low-trust companies. Trust enables better collaboration, and it keeps employees with organizations longer.
According to a 2021 survey by McKinsey, when employees have the psychological safety to ask for help, share ideas, and "challenge the status quo without fear of negative social consequences, organizations are more likely to innovate quickly, unlock the benefits of diversity, and adapt well to change." The survey emphasizes that while psychological safety is a powerful leadership skill, "only a handful of business leaders often demonstrate the positive behaviors that can instill…psychological safety in their workforce."
Curious how to get started? The following are 5 actionable steps to take to start building trust and psychological safety in your organization and begin realizing the many benefits.
5 Strategies to Build Trust and Cultivate Psychological Safety
- Start with Your Immediate Team
Within any team, the act of building trust begins between the leader and each team member to create a safe space for all. Focus on building and developing trust in these relationships first. Spend time as a team exploring what trust means to each person, and practice learning how to trust more quickly. The trust will extend throughout the entire team.
- Develop a Mindset of Learning
Organizations that experience success in their DEI&B program are oriented towards learning—both self-directed learning and learning together within a group. Teams that successfully build trust and psychological safety come to discussions with their teams in learning mode: engaged, slow to make assumptions, and eager to listen and challenge their own perspectives.
- Explore What Trust Means to You and Others
Recognize that trust differs across cultures and even from person to person. Each person's lived experiences are different. For example, everyone comes from very different places, has different life and work experiences, and comes from different levels of privilege—or lack thereof. Some team members may be well-versed in terms related to diversity and inclusivity, where others are just learning. Some have first-hand experience with racism, sexism, or other biases, where others may not have experienced these things first-hand. All these individual experiences contribute to how and why people trust others.
- Understand What Others Need to Feel Safe
Like trust, people have unique needs when it comes to feeling psychologically safe. In The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety: Defining the Path to Inclusion and Innovation, Dr. Timothy Clark details the four overarching components of psychological safety:
- Inclusion safety – This type of safety addresses the basic human need to have a sense of belonging. Individuals should feel that they are accepted for being their unique selves.
- Learner safety – People want to feel supported in the learning process, especially in vulnerable situations such as expressing misunderstanding or knowledge gaps, asking questions, or making mistakes.
- Contributor safety – When contributing to a project, a person's specific input and skillsets should be valued and meaningful.
- Challenger safety – Individuals should feel safe to challenge assumptions, speak up about conflict, or disagree with colleagues and leaders.
- Learn How to Respond
When team members speak up and share something difficult, how team members—especially leaders—respond is critical to maintaining the psychological safety of the group. It takes consistent attention and practice to respond effectively in the moment when that response is needed most. Both independent practice and collaborative exercises can help leaders learn how to respond to potential scenarios in a way that reinforces trust and psychological safety.
Ready to Build Your Organization's Inclusive Leadership Skills?
Building trust and psychological safety is a powerful leadership capability—one that must be learned, developed, and put into practice over time. The tips above will give you a head start, but there's no replacement for making DE&I learning a continuous and ongoing effort among your organization's leaders.
A leadership development platform like Paycor Paths gives managers the human skills they need to lead in the modern workplace—such as expanding their capability for inclusive leadership. Unlike one-time training seminars, Paycor Paths provides a continuous learning cycle to reinforce learning with experiential and collaborative activities that yield real, lasting outcomes.

text: Property Police coming to South Carolina Talbert Black, February 28, 2012March 21, 2012 In a surprise move at today's meeting, Lexington's County Council changed their public agenda and voted to kill their local Property Police ordinance. A similar ordinance landed a Mt. Pleasant woman in jail for six days after being cited for having a messy yard. Now, Senators Massey, Ford, and Cleary want to bring the Property Police to the entire state with S235, the Property Police bill. For the past month, property rights defenders in Lexington County have been hard at work alerting their fellow residents to this new ordinance that Lexington County Council was on the verge of passing. This ordinance, dubbed the Property Police ordinance, would have: instructed residents when to cut their grass; mandated that all pools be kept clear year round, and restricted what kind of storage you could have on your private property. What's the penalty for a messy yard in Lexington County? You'd pay up to $500 per day, plus $592 in court fees. And, if you can't pay the fine and fees, up to 30 days in jail. Needless to say, most Lexington County residents were outraged that County Council thought they could turn the county into one big Home Owner's Association. After a month of phone calls and contacts, Lexington County Council threw in the towel and voted to kill the ordinance 7 – 1. But guess what? There is a bill in the Statehouse that will allow every county in the state to have their own Property Police! Yep, that's right; S235 will allow every county to be turned into one big Home Owner's Association. That's what Senator Massey, Senator Cleary, and Senator Ford are proposing. Contact them today! Let them know that we don't need Property Police in this state. Tell them to withdraw their support for S235. Be polite, but be firm! Shane Massey firstname.lastname@example.com 803-480-0419 Ray Cleary firstname.lastname@example.com (803) 212-6100 Robert Ford firstname.lastname@example.com (803) 212-6124 Also, please sign our petition against this bill at www.NoPropertyPolice.org. Ask your friends and neighbors to sign it, too! If passed, S235 will allow each county to pass a Property Police ordinance. Also, if you live in Lexington County, Senator Massey will be holding three town hall meetings in Lexington over the next several days. I'll be attending the one at Pleasant Hill Elementary to ask him if he has changed his mind. I invite you to join me there or to go to one of the other locations and ask him to withdraw his support for the Property Police. Senator Massey's town hall meetings: Thursday, March 1 6:00 – 7:30 Pleasant Hill Elementary School Cafeteria 664 Rawl Road Lexington, SC Tuesday, March 6 6:00 – 7:30 Gilbert High School Theatre 840 Main Street Gilbert, SC Monday, March 12 6:00 – 7:30 Lexington High School Cafeteria 2463 Augusta Highway Lexington, SC So, be sure to contact Senators Massey, Cleary, and Ford today at the e-mail addresses or phone numbers above. And, if you live in Lexington County, attend one of Shane Massey's town hall meetings and help convince him to withdraw his support for S235, the state Property Police bill. And don't forget, please sign our on-line petition against this bill at www.NoPropertyPolice.org and ask your friends and neighbors to do so also! Sincerely, Talbert Black Jr. P.S. State Senators Massey, Ford, and Cleary have introduced a bill that will allow every county to have a "Property Police" ordinance similar to the one that landed this Mt. Pleasant woman in jail for six days after being cited for having a messy yard. Please help me convince these Senators to withdraw their support. Contact them today at the phone number and e-mail addresses provided above. Tell them to withdraw their support for the state Property Police bill, S235. Action Alerts Senate

One of the most important things that any dentist's office can do is find and fill cavities. After all, if left untreated the cavities can cause patients a great deal of pain, perhaps eventually causing them to lose their tooth entirely due to decay. As such, time is of the essence when searching for these problem areas. Before, the only way to find cavities was to essentially poke and probe around a patient's mouth looking for evidence of decay. This method has been used to find a great deal of cavities in the past and has long been an integral part of the traditional dental checkup.
However, this method is only 50-75% accurate when it comes to finding cavities, meaning that a very sizable chunk of patients who have the affliction suffer unnecessarily with tooth pain while they await their next dental appointment. Cavities can be very hard to find. They might hide along a fissure line or inside a biting surface for example, making them quite difficult to detect. Plus, cavities which are smaller than the head of the device used to probe for them have no choice but to go unnoticed. In other words, many cavities were being found using these older methods, a good deal of them were being missed as well.
The DIAGNOdent Advantage
Unsatisfied with settling for a procedure which failed one out of every four times it was performed, The Frankel Dentistry team searched for a better solution, and we found one in DIAGNOdent. This device is a laser diode which is designed to find decay even in spots unseen by the naked eye.
- First, we aim the diode at a healthy tooth so that it can get a baseline wavelength, a concept of what a tooth without decay feels like which it can use for the purposes of comparison.
- Then, we go over the rest of your teeth. As the diode scans your teeth it looks for fluctuations in its wavelength, places where the laser reflects back in a different way. These areas are experiencing decay.
- Using this method we can far more accurately pinpoint areas of concern and, when the time comes, our fillings can be much shallower and more precisely placed.
Our use of the DIAGNOdent laser diode is just one example of the ways we use the most up-to-date, effective dental technology available to improve your experience and provide you with a higher level of care.

The 7th Annual Standup for the Cure brought people from all walks of life together to celebrate life and support cancer research. Filled with clinics, recreational paddling, and racing, the day was a success. 100% of their earnings go to the Susan G. Komen foundation that focuses their work in the community on grants, clinics and organizations that put on screenings, education, treatment and psychosocial support programs for both insured and un-insured women.

The day started with a SUP clinic from star paddler Zane Schweitzer.
The 7th Annual Standup for the Cure presented by Boardworks kicked off on Cinco de Mayo under blue skies and trademark California sunshine. Vehicles pulled into the Newport Dunes parking lot and paddlers from all walks of life emerged, decked out in every shade of pink imaginable. There were pink boards, t-shirts, tutus, headbands, sombreros and even a few dogs dressed for the occasion.
The day began with a popular SUP clinic led by Zane and Shelby Schweitzer, who walked participants through the basics of stroke technique, SUP safety and mastering turns. After a brief overview on land, paddlers took their newfound skills to the water, with the Schweitzer siblings providing on-water instruction.
