Fibroids are masses of tissue that form in the uterus and which can range in size from very small to larger than a tennis ball. The underlying cause of fibroids hasn't been determined, but fluctuations in hormone levels appear to play a role. Fibroids tend to occur and grow during the childbearing years, with growth tapering off during menopause. Although fibroids typically don't cause problems with fertility unless they are very large and symptomatic, if they grow during a pregnancy, they can result in complications including miscarriage.
No, uterine fibroids are almost always benign, or non-cancerous.
Fibroids can cause symptoms such as:
very heavy periods
spotting or light bleeding between periods
painful periods
painful intercourse
urinary incontinence
a sensation of pressure in the lower abdomen
Many fibroids – especially smaller ones – cause no symptoms.
Fibroids that cause no symptoms typically are not treated. When they do cause problems, treatment can include:
uterine artery embolization, which cuts off the flow of blood to the fibroids
hormone therapy to control the growth of fibroids
surgical removal of fibroids
ablation to remove the fibroid tissue
In very severe cases, a total or partial hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) may be performed. Your treatment will depend on the extent and size of your fibroids, whether you're done having children and other factors.
Yes, fibroids can recur following removal. The likelihood of recurrence depends on the type of treatment you have as well as other factors. You can ask about the risk of recurrence associated with different procedures during your appointment following your evaluation.
Please always verify we participate in your insurance plan when you call to schedule your appointment as our participation with different plans may change from time to time. We also strongly recommend that you contact your insurance carrier to verify your coverage, benefits, limitations and exclusions prior to appointment.
For insurance plans with which we participate, we will seek to obtain verification of your eligibility. However, even when coverage, benefits, and eligibility are verified, your insurance plan will not guarantee the accuracy of their confirmation.

Actually I like all of them, all for different reasons: Harry - because he did not go to the dark side, and accepted that he must be killed in order for the seventh horcrux to be destroyed. Ron - for coming back to them and for sticking with Harry all through out the years, even when everyone thinks Harry is a lying jerk. And for belonging in the Weasley family. I like them all, especially Fred and George. They're really funny! Hermione - for being such a loyal friend. She sticked with Harry even though she loves Ron. I admired her for that, especially when she enchanted her parents and wiped their memories so that she could come with Harry. Remus Lupin - for being a good father and sacrificing himself just so that his Teddy "could live in a better world." And also for being the greatest defense against the dark arts teacher, aside from Dumbledore, I'd like to have him for a teacher. Sirius Black - I admire him for being sane despite the fact that he's been in Azkaban for 13 long years, and for caring so much for Harry. Severus Snape - for being the bravest man in the entire lot. (But he's still rude to Harry) Albus Dumbledore - for doing what is right, and for correcting his wrongdoings in the past by defeating Voldemort. It was his idea all along, and although Harry was only a pawn (if that was a game), he made sure that it was Harry who finishes the Dark Lord. And for loving Muggles. And for being a great teacher. I'd love to have him for a teacher.

Thank you! And then I forgot James Potter - I liked him because he thought (as Lupin had told them in Book 7) that it would be a disgrace not to trust your friends. I did admire him for sticking with Lupin, though he knew that he is a werewolf, and for being good with Peter Pettigrew. Lily Evans - for sacrificing her life for her dear son Harry. It was courage beyond anything, because it was what Jesus had done for us, isn't it? And she was Severus' friend until he called her 'mudblood.' :-)

I'd have to say Snape because he was always the "bad" one but in the 5th book we learned what he had to deal with as a student at Hogwarts and then in the the 7th we learned practically everything about him. Oh, and his love of Lilian. It was so sad that he had to die. Ps. Did u hear that J.K. Rowling might write an 8th book? I am so excited!!!

Yea,you are perfectly right buddy !

I like Professor Snape because even though he looks so sinister, he turns out to be a good guy. He really knows how to intimidate people hehe. I also like Hermoine because she knows how to keep Ron and Harry out of trouble (or at least try to lol).

yea............I toa agree with you..........although he looks as the next villain after voldemort,he actually turns out to be the next good person in Harry's success after Albus Dumbledore.Though his face and his actions showed hatred,his heart was full of love...........although I agree that he should have shown atleast some courtesy in Sirius's episode,.........but,you cant do anthing to personal hatred.......he is after all a human,not God !.......so despite his bad characteristics and actions in some situations,he just turns out to be a good man. Cheers! Have a nice day.

I like Hermione the most coz she's very smart. Also, I like Ron's character coz he's funny and weird without him knowing that. He's true to himself and he's exerting effort to be good at everything. I used to say that I like Harry the most but I've changed my mind.. LOL... Well, I like him in the movies coz he's good looking. But in the books, I liked him coz he's dedicated to his mission. Now, if you are going to think about his attitude, he has the tendency to be rude. He could be impolite too and he loses his temper easily. Well, I understand his character so I dont hate him much. For me, he's character is just like any ordinary boy growing up to be an adult, pressured with his Voldemort mission thats why he could be bad at times.

My first impressions of Seaven Studios's Inside My Radio seemed pretty bleak in all honesty. The amount of low level platformers being released onto our consoles has sky rocketed over the last few years, and I normally wouldn't touch any of them with a barge pole. Not only are they all exactly the same barring a change in setting, they all contain the same repetitive properties showing no signs of intelligence…
Inside My Radio proved me wrong. This new age platformer combines the left to right gameplay stereotype with a distinct display of rhythm and beat, making each button press count, adding an extra level of fun and pressure like no other. Each move you make needs to be in complete unison with the song playing at the time, leaving the player concentrating and listening with an intent you would never expect. Half way through level 2 I had cramp in my foot through so much tapping. How many other platforms can do that to you?
The game begins with a mini green LED (which I suppose you can call the protagonist) suddenly awoken inside the stomach of a large stereo that is losing power and needs his help. I sound crazy right now don't I…
Anyway, the main objective is to create enough power through the rhythm of beat and sound to bring the stereo back to life and make the world whole again!
Throughout the story, you'll dance your way into other characters that represent the different music styles beseeched within the levels, such as juicy jazz, sanctifying techno and hard core rock! You can collect different mini stereos in each level to ultimately create your own track suiting your own personalised style of music. Each jump, slide and swoosh becomes more gratifying with each press. Although I will warn you, if you have literally no sense of timing, this game will take you an age to complete, it may even make you pull half of your hair out like my tone deaf girlfriend did after level 3…
If you really are 'that' bad, but still want to enjoy what this title has to offer, there is a handicap. Seaven Studios have included a system rhythm checker, which appears as a large white circle above your head showing you the beat as a guide. It's a nice way to start until you get the hang of things, but I doubt you'll have it on long.
With your newly found revelation of dance, you will eventually face a variety of added challenges that involve 'dance battles', intense rhythm based platforming and what you may call 'illegitimate' boss battles. Death however, is something you do not need to fear. With every fall, drip and crush results in you being thrown straight back to where you were before you fell, with no adverse consequences at all. Turns out every form of music stays alive! Well, except grunge, grunge is definitely dead.
The visuals within this title really explode upon your retinas. The colours illuminate through each stage with superior brightness and shading, resulting in a smooth and satisfying experience. The graphics as a whole won't win any awards mind you, but the intensity of what is provided will make your eyes bulge with amazement. Incredibly similar to an arcade game at the beach, which we all still play, don't lie.
As far as level design goes there are quite a few creative and memorable moments, like a switching mechanic in one level that changes how you must navigate, and a section where you must avoid enemies who also shift their position to the beat of the track.
There are a few sections in this title though that just don't work in my opinion. Tedious mazes, impossible jumps and incredibly frustrating boss battles that require severe willpower and patience. The main negatives however lie within its length and repetitiveness. The main campaign is incredibly short (around 2 hours or less) and there aren't a lot of other game modes to keep your attention either.
The Time Attack mode adds legs to the game for dedicated gamers wanting to truly master the title, but I don't think that's the direction Seaven Studios were heading. Inside my radio is perfect for a chilled evening at home where you want to relax with a video game and music without thinking too much. A filler game if you will.
Inside my radio provided me with a fresh, yet brief insight of what a new age platformer can bring. An innovative invention and incredibly addictive, it kept a smile on my face and a rhythm inside my feet. The visuals and gameplay only add to the fun, but you won't be playing it for very long. Spent the last 20 hours doing quests on Fallout 4 but you're not quite ready for bed? Chuck this on, you won't regret it.

"Your satisfaction is our destination means putting the client's needs, goals and objectives first among all priorities."
We believe that communication is the key to successful program planning. By employing exemplary ethical standards, high expectations and in-depth knowledge of the southeast region as a destination, we consistently exceed our clients' expectations.
What is a Destination Management Company (DMC)?
A local service organization that provides consulting services, creative event-planning and excellent management of logistics based on extensive knowledge of the destination and the needs of the client. DMCs are regarded as the "general contractor" of meetings and events. Similar to building a home and hiring a contractor to manage, pay, competitively shop, verify insurance, and check references, etc, a DMC performs those services and more for your conference, meeting, party, wedding or special event. DMCs typically handle any and all of the needs associated with National and Regional Associations, Corporate and Incentive Travel Management such as: special-event planning and production, activities and tours, team-building, transportation, site-selection and program logistics.
Why use a Destination Management Company?
A DMC provides the time-saving convenience of one-stop-shopping for all services associated with a specific destination as well as the cost-saving advantage of extensive local knowledge, professional relationships, expertise, and local resources. DMC's understand the needs of meeting planners and can help them accomplish their goals for efficient and organized programs and masterful execution from conception to completion. A DMC can provide the very best a destination has to offer while also providing unique and memorable experiences for attendees, all this while helping meeting planners meet their budgetary needs.
How are payments and deposits handled by DPC?
Each client and program is planned on a customized and individual needs basis; however, in general most event costs are incurred in advance and billed prior to the event. We collect advance deposits from 80% to 100% of the total contracted amount pre-paid 30-60 days prior to the service date. The remaining balance or any additional services added on-site will be invoiced Net 30 Days after the completion of the program. If planning is done far in advance, the pre-paid deposit may be broken up into several payments over time.
Is DPC Bonded?
DPC is bonded in the amount of $15,000 in the state of Florida under the Florida's Sellers of Travel license.
Does DPC carry Liability Insurance?
DPC carries extensive commercial liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence, $1,000,000 in personal injury, and $3,000,000 general aggregate insurance. Upon request, DPC will provide to its clients a Certificate of Insurance naming its client as an Additional Named Insured.
Why should I choose DPC as my DMC?
Simply put . . .our level of knowledge and expertise is unparalleled in this region. We conduct ourselves with the highest level of professionalism, business ethics, and industry standards. Our goal is always to exceed these standards and to forge ahead to create new ones. DPC prides itself on its creativity and innovative approach to meeting our clients' needs. We hold incredibly high standards for ourselves as well as for our vendors and suppliers in order to exceed our clients' expectations. Our integrity and reputation are unequalled. Upon request, we will be happy to provide specific references, testimonials and letters of recommendation.

With an average score of just 44 for three consecutive years, the Asia Pacific region is making little progress in the fight against corruption. Why is Asia Pacific making little to no progress in its anti-corruption efforts? One of the reasons is an overall weakening of democratic institutions and political rights.

Long before there was a Levittown, the Motor Parkway ran straight through this part of the Hempstead Plains. However, unlike many other parts of the roadway after its close, this section remained almost untouched by developers.

Factors to Consider When Engaging a HVAC Repair Firm
Whenever your air conditioner suddenly stops there is no need to waste your resources looking for a quack company to offer the repair services when you can take time to hire a trustworthy and qualified repair company that will not only avail services at the right time and also offer super quality services. If you take time to consider some essential factors you will realize that hiring an air conditioner repair company is not very difficult. A homeowner who would like to benefit most from an HVAC company can use these strategies. Read below to learn a number of important aspect you will look at when choosing an excellent HVAC repair company.
The first factor is customer reviews. When you read these reviews you will be getting first-hand testimonies from previous customers and get to know companies who hire technicians who are not ready to satisfy the needs of the clients. Doing this will make it easy to identify such companies and avoid hiring them.
Secondly referrals are important. A dependable company is likely to have successfully served a number of customers in your location, and such a company will get many referrals. Most importantly make a point of asking your friends and relatives about any HVAC company that they may have hired and received super quality services.
Most of the people normally experience a delay in case HVAC need urgent and sensitive repairs. It is, therefore, imperative for you to read the service information of the HVAC company very keenly to know how they handle you in case you urgently need their services. This means you should hire a company that is always within reach any time you need their services. You should avoid companies which take time to attend to urgent repairs because the system can develop problems any day and at any time. If you savvy enough, such a company will not only frustrate you but also make you spend more money hiring services of other companies to solve your urgent HVAC services.
You also have to consider the experience of the company because HVAC projects require a lot of precision. In fact, a slight miscalculation can tamper with the system's efficiency, performance and reliability. This is the reason it is wise and safe to work with reputable HVAC company so as to avoid issues that are associated with lack of experience and proper training. At the end of all, you have to make sure that you engage services of a HVAC fir which has earned a great name out there.

The full title of the thesis is: "Multivariate analysis and modeling of crude oil composition and fluid properties relevant for Multiphase Flow Metering".
The oil & gas industry needs to know the exact amount of oil, gas, and water that at any instant flows through the pipe lines, either from individual wells, from satellite fields owned by different operators to the mother platform, or from offshore installations to land and the paying customer. A satisfying calibration of the multiphase flow meters is of paramount importance for the accuracy of the measurements. This requires (amongst other parameters) knowledge of the dielectric properties of the oil which varies strongly between oil fields as well as over an oil field's life time.
Andreas Tomren has investigated relations and correlations between oil parameters measured in multiphase flow meters (e.g., density, viscosity, permittivity, etc.) and the chemical composition of the oil, thereby increasing the understanding of how the composition impacts the electromagnetic measurements that are a part of multiphase flow meters. These relations have been modelled and a new method of calculating fluid parameters has been developed with the potential to improve the calibration of the flow meters and increase the range of oil quality where the meters will be satisfyingly accurate.
Andreas Tomren's PhD studies have been funded by the Michelsen Centre of Measurement Science & Technology which is a part of the Norwegian Research Council's programme for Centres of Innovation-based Research (CRIs) linkKnowledge of the oil's pressure (P) and temperature (T) together with the chemical oil composition makes it possible to calculate the oil's density (ρ). By applying the model developed by Andreas Tomren, the oil's permittivity (ε) can be derived and applied in the calibration of multiphase flow meters (ill: A.

You know the scenario well: The check comes. No one moves. You look at each other. You smile. The check sits there. This, my friends, is what we call a little game of "pick-up check."
The question is: Should a woman offer to split the bill on the first date?
Notice that the question isn't: Should a man pay on a first date? The answer to this should be an unequivocal "yes." While I'm a huge advocate for women e-mailing men on online dating sites, and I'll even dare to say that a woman should suggest meeting for a drink if the guy is trying to have an e-lationship, I am a stickler for the old-fashioned tenet that the man should pay on the first date. That said, should the woman at least offer to pay?
When the bill comes, the woman has a few choices:
1) The "reach" (going for her wallet to see what happens)
2) The offer (saying "May I contribute?" or something similar), or
3) The assumption (just saying "Thank you so much!")
Given that the date should only consist of a drink or coffee (no dinner on a first online date) and should not be too expensive, option #2 or #3 are the most appropriate. With #3, it avoids some the awkwardness and you get to show your gratitude immediately, though it may seem a bit presumptuous. With #2, it's a polite gesture that he'll most certainly appreciate. Just hope he doesn't take you up on it!
Men, generally when women offer to pay on the first date, we don't want you to take us up on it. Even if we know there won't be a second date and feel guilty for taking the free drink, deep down we still hope that you'll pay because it's still a date after all. The last thing you want is to accept our payment offer and then be labeled as "cheap." Yes – she offered, but when it comes to paying on a first date, yes almost always means no.
I had one particularly memorable experience with the "pick-up check" game, and I'll tell you off the bat that the results weren't good. The scene: A JDate at a coffee shop. We planned to meet at 3:00 for coffee on a Sunday afternoon. When I got there, I saw a guy who looked vaguely like the guy I was expecting, but he was deep in thought on his laptop, and he was drinking a nearly-finished coffee. Was this my date? I went over to him and asked, "Are you Jason*?" It was, in fact, Jason. He had gotten there early to do some work. I certainly didn't care about that, but when the check came for my latte (a whopping $3 and change), he never even looked at it. Apparently he had already paid for his drink, so he took no responsibility for mine. Awkward, to say the least. "Pick-up check" failure.
Ideally, the man will reach for the check before the woman even has the chance to decide between options 1, 2, and 3. Then, even if it's not a love connection, she'll tell her friends how generous he was. Let's avoid the game of "pick-up check" and end the date on a more positive note… planning the second date.
If you're curious, the experts agree.

The Holy Order of Oras were a religious group of the Ice Warriors who worshipped the Osiran known as Horus. The leader of the organisation was known as the Holy Bishop.
They followed the teachings of the Book of Oras which includes the Sermon of Liis. The Order's teachings were of a non-violent nature and asked its followers to abandon such means. The Ninth Book of Oras is the Rebirth of the Father. The Order's pacifistic teachings meant that they dispensed with the practice of wearing protective armour that was commonly seen amongst their brethren as it symbolised an aspect of their racial psyche the followers of Oras despised. Among the followers of Oras was the Utet-Sak-Oras which was central to the faith and was hand-drawn from an Osiran star sapphire.
In 2157, the Holy Bishop and the leaders of the polar nests authorised a pilgrimage led by Abbot Aklaar to G'chun duss Ssethissi as a symbolic act of relinquishing the Ice Warrior ways by destroying the Sword of Tuburr. Through Martian contacts, the Adjudicator Bureau uncovered this act and sent an agent to infiltrate the human expedition that later joined the pilgrims. (PROSE: GodEngine)

My attachment to my Filofax probably borders on the extreme. And in a world dominated by smart phones and Google calendar, woefully old fashioned as well. But I can't help it. My pink Filofax has helped me organize my occasionally chaotic life and my constantly chaotic brain. It is my calendar, and it enables my list-making habit. I'd probably feel lost without it. A few times, certain friends of mine have jokingly threatened to steal it and hide it from me. I didn't find it funny.
Maybe I am old fashioned. But I cling to this ordered, logical point in a messy world. You see, I am not the neatest person. I don't always make my bed in the morning. My living room is strewn with books, headphones, pens and tubes of lip balm. But sometimes it feels ok to be messy at home as long as I emerge from the mess looking neat and organized. I can leave clean clothes jumbled in the laundry bin because I have my day neatly planned. It's a balancing act.
But then I have to wonder: Does this balance actually work?
Oftentimes, appearance is everything. If I'm feeling down, dressing up a bit helps improve my mood. I look good, so I feel good. Same with my Filofax – parts of my life are organized, so it feels like everything is organized. Other times, however, my Filofax is like a plank of wood bobbing in a sea of commitments and deadlines. No matter how organized I am on paper, I feel like I'm floundering. But I still cling with all my might.
Though my need for pen and paper is old fashioned, it seems I'm not alone in my desire for proof of an organized life. I know people who go on cleaning sprees when they're upset, certain that by organizing their apartment, they will organize, and therefore fix, whatever might be wrong. Women's magazines have presented hundreds of tips on how to be more productive at work, plan the perfect dinner party, fix that broken heel. There is even a website now, StickK.com, where people can post their new year's resolutions – the idea being that if other people are watching, those resolutions are more likely to stick. Virtual proof, if you will.
But proof doesn't always mean that you are, indeed, neat and organized. It just makes it seem that way. I have a knack for talking a mile a minute, going two places at once, but I'm neat on paper. And in the end, at least to me, that's what counts.
Maybe it's a comfort thing. I do feel better when I make the extra effort to make the bed or organize my bookshelves, even though I know it won't last. But for that moment, it's enough. And you can pry my Filofax from my cold, dead fingers.

Trump's attorneys distort the concept of a "perjury trap". Used correctly, the term refers to malfeasance on the part of prosecutors. The problem here isn't bad behavior on Mueller's team; it's Trump's chronic inability to tell the truth. He's been making up lies for such a long time I don't even know if he realizes when he's lying. Either way — that he lies intentionally, or that he no longer knows when he's lying — he's a danger to our democracy.
There's a simply solution to the perjury question: let's test out whether Trump can tell the truth. That's just as important a matter, in my view, as whether he conspired with Russia.I hope Bob Mueller subpoena's Trump, and is upheld in the court battle surely to follow. Let's hear what Trump has to say.

One of my resolutions for 2016 was to read more. I started out doing pretty good but, as is common with resolutions, I lost steam. The year seemed to fly by and when I looked up, it was November and I hadn't read as much as I wanted to. This year, I'm determined to read at least a dozen books!
The Star Side of Bird Hill by Naomi Jackson
I was interested in this book because the main characters were from Brooklyn, NY and I really like books that I can relate to. Who doesn't, right? Two sisters are sent to Barbados to live with their grandmother after their mother falls ill and can no longer care for them. The books follows how the girls, who are very different, adapt to their new life and try to make the best out of the situation at hand.
I must admit that I was a little disappointed by this book because I thought it would have more of a climax or more drama or something. To be honest, as I sit writing this, I can't even recall how it ended. Would I recommend this book? Yes, but with reservations. It is a very easy read and brings up an important issue that many people are dealing with but do not address: mental health. I say, if you a few days or want something quick and easy to read, go for it. Overall, 3 ½ out of 5 stars.
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
This book, I would recommend fully! It's a pretty big book, 500+ pages, but they are all worth it. The main character, Marie Laure, who is blind, and her father flee Paris during WWII due to the Nazi invasion. Marie Laure's father worked at the museum for years and was given the responsibility of securing a very precious gem. On the flip side, a young German soldier, Werner, who was an orphan before being summoned to fight in the war is sharing his story. The path of these two meet and you'll just have to read for yourself how. I'm too afraid to go into anymore detail because I don't want to give it away.
I also appreciate that the chapters were very short, which made it easy to continue reading and get completely lost in the book. One thing I should warn you is that each chapter flips back and forth between the two main character, so be aware of that before jumping in. However, definitely worth the read.
The Sun is Also a Star by Nicole Yoon
I picked up this book with only a few days left in the year. I was feeling a bit ambitious with this one because I liked the idea of finishing 3 books by the end of the year. This book also takes place over the course of one day so I felt even more compelled to finish it in one day. Complete irrational thinking, but I did it! Beat that!
This book is another in that takes place in NYC. The main character, Natasha, is exhausting all of her options because she is to be deported back to Jamaica by 10pm that day. The story starts at around 9 or 10AM and it's a whirlwind from there. Along her day, she meets a Korean-American boy named Daniel in the music store. Daniel is also having a day that may or may not change his life. Natasha is very into science and is rational and Daniel believes in love and luck and things of that nature. The two spend the day together and, well, you'll have to read it to find out what happens. Another easy read and another story that jumps back and forth between two POVs. While this book felt fast paced, it was easy to read and follow along with and was quite interesting. Definitely an "awww" book.
So far this year, I've read Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff, The Girls by Emma Cline, and Liars' Club by Mary Karr. What is on your 2017 TBR (to be read)? What are some books you'd recommend?

What is the best method to rescan or retest multiple websites, at once, using the Web Application scanner?
I currently do a retest which is much faster than doing a new vulnerability scan on multiple domains, but I have to sometimes do a hundred at one time, and I am curious what others do?
To help clarify, right now I go into the Web Application module > Detections > Detection List> insert the web application or URL I need, find the right one, right click and retest. You cannot select multiple URLs to retest, but have to do one at a time.

It's over 800
As I write this I am watching Neil Gaiman talk on a commercial for MasterClass. I'm sure that isn't relevant but it is a sentence and you just read it. If you read yesterday, my car died and I had to take it in. After a days worth of work it turns out the hybrid computer had failed and needed to be replaced. It cost over $800 (after I also requested an oil change) to fix and after some careful calculating of how much I will owe on that plus my new phone and this website's hosting needing to be renewed alongside my antivirus I realized I'm gonna need to reevaluate my definition of maximum effort. Nothing is free and at the end of the day I still need to show up and get my reps in; here, the gym, at actual work and many other places. I am not going to spread myself thin here, but the plan is to build up the arms I have already stretched until they are strong enough to pull this shit together. The noble octopus is can work with it's environment and is ninety percent muscle, just like me. If that brainy space fish can thrive so can I. Why do I bring up such a mysterious creature? To stick with the association of the animal, I refuse to tell you why I bring it up.
I thought my car was going to be in the shop for a week so I thought I wasn't getting any sweet sweet gym time, but luckily I was able to work out at my apartment's gym the first day. If you haven't tried working out for anxiety problems, do I have a prescription for you! Working out is my favorite stress relief treatment. Yeah, there's medication, booze, meditation and a bunch of other stuff but this gets me for two reasons; I get to see how much stronger I got from the last time and it let's me release energy I have built up throughout the day. Why wouldn't I use that energy at work? I would likely accidentally injure a co-worker. My job is about being careful and has no room for explosive energy. It might be why I also focus on controlled workouts. I still get the fast paced ones banged out but I really try to make sure I have control when I do my reps.
More book reviews are coming in, I promise. If I need to hand draw all of the pictures for the next drawn book review on classic paper and pencil I will. I need to write more as well…
Thanks for playing

"Look, Mommy!" Your four-year old rounds the corner carrying a lit votive candle that had been scenting the room from a seemingly safe spot. Surprised by your immediate yelp, she drops the candle on the couch. Potential crisis now averted through quick thinking, you take the time to talk about fire with your child, and breathe a sigh of relief that it wasn't worse. It brings to mind headlines you have seen recently on flame-retardant chemicals. The slow steady release of chemicals into the air, our homes and places where we sleep have been under heavy scrutiny for years, because of the long-term damage they may cause. Now, finally, they are coming to light in more mainstream media. As is often the case with products that contain multiple chemicals, from cleaners to pharmaceuticals, teasing out our understanding of the impacts on our health takes good scientists and sound science."
It's less about fire-fighting and more about fighting an industry.
Meet Hannah Gardener, Savvy Women's Alliance Board Member since 2017 and a scientist who practices sound science. Most of us see scientists as their own unique entity – men and women in white lab coats hunched intensely over beakers and test tubes, or pouring through scientific journals and enlightening the scientific community with discoveries of their own. Not many of us read scientific journals. Yet the work of these scientists directly impacts us. Hannah is an epidemiologist, meaning that she studies the incidence, distribution and control of toxins and diseases in populations. Scientists like Hannah understand the harm at hand, as flame retardants are not only semi-volatile, giving off minute amounts of toxins daily which are inhaled and ingested, but have a significant negative impact on us all because of their known neurotoxicity, and ties to carcinogens and hormone disruption.
Quick Summary: Flame retardants build up in our homes, have been detected in household dust, and particularly impact young children who spend a lot of time on the floor/putting their hands in their mouths. In addition, when there are fires, these chemicals add to the health burden faced by firefighters who actively push for bans on their use. "Flame retardants" is an umbrella phrase that covers a family of chemicals. If you would like a deeper dive we recommend this post by a sister-organization Toxic Free Future.
These types of discoveries aren't necessarily broadcast to the public by the chemical corporations that produce them. So in addition to wearing the white lab coat of science, Hannah has donned the business suit of advocacy. This Spring, she was asked to speak before the Rhode Island State Senate and House of Representatives concerning the passage of a bill banning flame retardants from furniture. The bill was opposed by the American Chemistry Council, a lobbying group representing chemical manufacturers dismissing concerns of health impacts.
It was a chance to have the voice of science heard by a wider audience. The companies who sell products and chemicals may not want to harm consumers but ultimately they have their bottom line in mind. It's up to scientists to speak out and educate consumers.
Hannah is used to speaking in front of large groups but the legislative system was unfamiliar territory to her. A little nervous going in, she prepared well in advance. Her oral testimony was succinct and impactful, and she felt support and appreciation from the lawmakers, especially at the Senate hearings.
The process was eye-opening and gave Hannah a new awareness about the difference between the way scientists and lawmakers think. While this barrier was frustrating, Hannah says it was one of the most exciting and fulfilling things she has done in her career. "We write research papers that have recommendations in them but advocacy doesn't happen often enough."
Knowing that politics was politics, Hannah realized this didn't mean the bill was going to pass. "You just don't know what goes on behind the scenes." Because while the Senate appreciated what she was saying, she also knew what she was facing was economic political power playing out before her.
"It's hard to be a scientist among lawmakers, but I felt this was an opportunity for me to have more of an impact."
The smallest state in the nation passed the bill, restricting flame retardants not just in furniture, but in children's toys as well. Passionate scientists like Hannah who push themselves outside of their comfort zone to do good are working alongside organizations like Clean Water Action and the International Association Firefighters. They are not alone. As of this post, there are 39 bills in 17 states pushing for bans and restrictions on flame retardants found in a spectrum of products that we bring into our homes, schools and work.
We hope that reading stories like Hannah's will provide inspiration for you to find your cause, push your comfort zone and find your way to protect. We all have a voice, which we can exercise in many different ways.

Who We Are
We may not grow everything you need, but our team can definitely source it for you. So, you can continue doing what you love!
Green flow Nurseries is an independently owned affiliated company of Peels Nurseries Ltd and was established in 2018. Gaurav (Gavin) Sharma started this nursery after understanding clients needs carefully and how to properly fulfill them. Over the time, Gavin realized after working with wholesale Nursery that retail customers are always left out. As a result, they are practically left with no option other than going to the Garden center, which sometimes can turn, into a costly visit. However, this is where green flow nurseries can fill this gap between small retail customers and nurseries, where they can actually come to a wholesale nursery and shop just as they would in a retail store. Whereas, Peels Nurseries will continue to serve the wholesale industry.
Q: 1.) Who is Green Flow Nurseries Ltd. and what is the relation with Peels Nurseries ltd.?
Green flow Nurseries is an independently owned affiliated with Peels Nurseries Ltd. It is not related to Peels Nurseries. However, it does share the land with Peels Nurseries for propagation, container-grown pots, and customer pick-ups.
Q: 2.) If both Nurseries shares the same land then why not just Peels Nurseries Ltd?
Peels Nurseries Ltd has been serving the wholesale client for more than quarter the century. Besides, the main focus at Peel's nurseries is growing BC Native plants. Whereas, Green flow nurseries focus on retail customers, landscapers, and small developers. Due to the growing and specific demands from retail customers, landscapers and small developers Peels Nurseries couldn't keep up with them. After realising this situation, Gaurav (Gavin) Sharma started this Green Flow Nurseries to fill that missing gap.
Q: 3.) How small or big order we can place with Green Flow Nurseries.?
Here is the beauty of Green Flow Nurseries as there is no limitation for small or big orders.
Q: 4.) Does Green Flow Nurseries supply plants from clean plant certified only?
Yes, we only supply plants from clean plant certified nurseries. Sometimes, we may have to source plants from other nurseries, and our team always verifies that all the plants are coming from Clean plant Nurseries.
Q: 5.) What is your return plant policy?
We always work with our customers, and the bottom line is if you not satisfied with our plant then please contact us as soon as possible, and we will find the best solution for you.
Q: 6.) Do you also do landscaping, Sod installations, and Pavements jobs?
We have professional third-party contractors who can complete these specific jobs for you. We strive to maintain our primary goal, which is supplying you with high-quality plants but at the same time, we will take the extra weight off your shoulders by arranging everything for you under one umbrella.

8 Summer Hacks for Parents
We are all about having a simple and slow summer. So that means that I am looking for simple and easy ways to make our summer amazingly relaxing and fun. Are you in the same inflatable raft as me? Then check out these 8 Summer Hacks for Parents:
Keep the sand off your blanket by bringing a fitted sheet to the beach (don't worry, you won't have to fold it). Use coolers, heavy/strong beach bags, and other large items in each corner of the sheet (position the sheet the opposite way you would compared to when making your bed) and pull up. That way, you have a fenced off area to keep the sand and bugs out and the fun in.
Have a stash of plastic bags in your car, beach bag, etc. Why? Because they come in handy for absolutely EVERYTHING. Have wet swim stuff? Sandy beach toys? Clothes covered in sticky ice cream? It's no problem as long as you have some plastic bags to contain the chaos.
Freeze juice boxes and water bottles when packing refreshments for camp, summer school, park visits, etc. Not only will your drink stay cool, but it will also keep other things in your snack bag stay at a safe temperature when out and about in the blazing sun.
Speaking of chilling drinks, do you know that you can quickly chill a bottle of wine in 10 minutes? All you need to do is place the wine bottle in an ice bucket, and then start filling the bucket with layers of ice and table salt (no need for sea salt, we aren't trying to be Ina Garten or anything). Keep alternating layers until you get to the top. After ten minutes, your bottle will be perfectly chilled and ready to be enjoyed so that you can chill out.
Keep your phone in a sealed plastic baggie to keep it safe from water, sunscreen, and sand. Even if you have a hardcore phone case like me, you will still benefit from the power of the baggie.
Hide valuables in an inconspicuous place. For example, an old chip bag, empty (and clean!) sunscreen bottle…get as creative as you can.
Carry a bottle of baby powder in your beach bag…I promise it isn't for diaper changes. Simply sprinkle some baby powder on your sandy skin and wipe it right off. Ta da!
Speaking of babies, remember those adorable muslin blankets that you stocked your nursery with? Keep them in your car to drape over your kids' laps when the sun beats through the window. Because as we all know, those darn sun shades fall off the window ALL THE DAMN TIME.
