At Riverside EyeCare Professionals, we utilize the latest advances in cataract surgery to safely and effectively remove cataracts. Our board-certified cataract surgeons, Drs. Michael Sumsion and Sean Sumsion, have made cataract surgery a special focus of their practice, and are committed to helping you restore your vision and lifestyle. During your initial consultation and eye evaluation, your ophthalmologist will discuss the procedure, explain all your options and answer any of your questions about cataract surgery.
Cataracts are a common condition that typically develops with age and is characterized by a clouding of the eye's lens. As a result, patients with cataracts most often experience blurry vision. Because cataracts are a progressive condition, cataracts that are left untreated may cause the vision to continue worsening. Although men and women of any age may develop cataracts, it is estimated that approximately half of all Americans over the age of 65 have cataracts.
Cataract surgery is designed to remove the clouded lens, replace it with an intraocular lens implant (IOL), and ultimately restore clear vision. Over two million cataract surgeries are performed in the United States every year, and the procedure has an extremely high success rate. Depending upon the quality of the patient's eyesight, in addition to other factors, cataract surgery can be customized with various IOLs that are matched to suit the patient's unique needs and lifestyle.
The procedure: Cataract surgery generally takes about 15-20 minutes per eye. During the procedure, the cataract will be carefully removed and an IOL will be inserted to replace the natural lens and improve vision. An anesthetic and possibly a mild sedative will also be used to alleviate any discomfort or anxieties.
Who will perform the surgery?: Drs. Michael Sumsion and Sean Sumsion perform all cataract surgeries at our on-site surgical suite.
What about recovery?: Recovery is typically minimal. You will need to return to our office periodically for postoperative visits, but many patients are able to return to their daily routines about one to two days following cataract surgery.
Results: Cataract surgery can greatly improve the clarity of your vision and help restore your lifestyle. You can expect to experience a noticeable improvement in vision in the days following your surgery.
There are two general types of cataract surgery: traditional cataract surgery and laser cataract surgery. Traditional cataract surgery is generally considered one of the most routine surgeries performed around the world. During traditional cataract surgery, eye surgeons uses a thin, specialized blade to create a precise incision and an ultrasonic instrument to break up the clouded lens. Laser cataract surgery, on the other hand, utilizes laser technology instead of surgical tools to create incisions and break up the cataract. While some practices may emphasize that laser techniques offer greater precision and a more rapid recovery, our ophthalmologists have not identified measurable benefits with laser methods, and therefore opt to perform traditional cataract surgery. Offering traditional cataract surgery also keeps costs lower for our patients.
Unfortunately, there are currently no effective non-surgical treatments for cataracts. Surgical removal of the clouded lens and replacement with an intraocular lens is the only reliable method available.
Following your consultation, our ophthalmologists will provide you with comprehensive pre-op instructions on how to prepare for your cataract surgery. General speaking, here are some important points to remember:
If you have questions before your surgery date, we encourage you to contact our practice to get the information you need. We are always happy to take your call.
Cataract surgery is typically performed in our surgery center as an outpatient procedure. Prior to surgery, Dr. Sumsion will apply a topical anesthetic to your eyes in order to alleviate any discomfort. Additionally, he can also provide a mild sedative to put you at ease and relieve any anxieties you may be feeling. During surgery, a small incision will be made in the front of your eye. Dr. Sumsion will use special instruments to carefully remove the cataract and the eye's natural lens. Dr. Sumsion will then place an intraocular lens implant (IOL) in your eye to replace your natural lens.
Due to the small size of the incision, the natural pressure of your eye will typically ensure that it seals without the need for any sutures.
Cataract surgery is performed one eye at a time. The other eye will generally be treated about two weeks later to ensure the first eye has had ample time to heal. The actual procedure can generally be completed in about 15-20 minutes, and most patients experience little to no discomfort throughout the entire operation.
Intraocular lens implants replace the natural lens of your eye and are designed to restore your vision after cataract removal. The degree of vision correction you achieve may vary depending on the type of IOL selected:
Learn more about the variety of intraocular lenses we offer. During a consultation with with either Dr. Michael Sumsion or Dr. Sean Sumsion, you can learn about the IOL options that may be right for you.
Temporary redness and irritation are common after cataract surgery. In some cases, minor bleeding or infection may occur. Some patients may notice mild bruising on the skin beneath the eye. While the eye heals from the procedure, patients may also experience blurriness. All of these side effects usually resolve quickly, and a post-operative visit will help ensure the healing process is going well.
Recovery will vary per individual, but patients are able to return home the same day following their procedures. You can expect to return to normal activities after about one to two days, but Dr. Sumsion typically recommends that you wear protective eyewear at night and utilize prescription eye drops in the days immediately following your surgery to aid in the healing process. Additionally, postoperative visits will be necessary to assess your healing progress. Dr. Sumsion will provide a postoperative schedule with you at the time of your surgery.
Cataract surgery is a very common procedure that helps millions of men and women in the United States improve their vision and quality of life each year. Though extremely rare, there are potential risks of cataract surgery, which include infection, inflammation, bleeding, retinal disorders, glaucoma, secondary cataract, and vision loss. If you choose Riverside EyeCare Professionals you can be assured that Dr. Sumsion will perform a comprehensive eye exam to detect any risk factors before surgery and abide by all safety protocols during surgery to reduce the likelihood of complications. Furthermore, if any of these complications do arise, many of them can be effectively managed or resolved with further treatment.
While some patients are able to see very well the day after surgery, vision typically starts improving within a few days following surgery. Vision generally starts off blurry and gradually improves as your eye heals and acclimates to its new lens. Once both eyes have been treated and you are healed completely, Dr. Sumsion can thoroughly assess the quality of your vision and make any required adjustments to your vision prescription. In many cases, cataract removal and the addition of an advanced multifocal IOL that is well suited to one's vision needs can significantly reduce reliance on glasses. Occasional use of reading glasses may be necessary, but not all patients require them.
Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) implanted during your cataract surgery are expected to last for your lifetime. It is very rare that an IOL needs to be replaced; however, in some instances, a patient may want to upgrade their conventional IOL to a more premium multifocal IOL that offers enhanced vision at multiple distances.
Since each cataract surgery is customized to meet the patient's individual needs, there is no one set price for cataract surgery. Factors that can influence the cost of cataract surgery may include:
At the conclusion of your initial consultation, Dr. Sumsion will be able to provide you with an accurate quote for your cataract surgery. Since cataracts can lead to blindness when not treated, the condition is covered by many insurance plans. Patients with insurance coverage may still be responsible for a co-payment or a deductible. A member of our staff can help you navigate your insurance benefits and help determine your out-of-pocket cost for the procedure. In addition, qualifying patients can take advantage of the various financing options available at Riverside EyeCare Professionals.
Do you have questions about cataracts and cataract surgery? Our surgeons have a proven track record of success and can provide you with the information you need to proceed confidently toward improved, cataract-free vision. In the sections below, we have provided many of the most common questions our patients ask to help you gain a better understanding of the procedure. If you are interested in learning more about cataract surgery, we encourage you to contact our practice to schedule a consultation with Dr. Sumsion.
Cataract surgery is designed to be a virtually painless procedure. Local anesthetic numbs the eye prior to the start of surgery to prevent any uncomfortable sensations. A mild sedative may also be provided to you before the procedure begins to relax you and eliminate any anxiety you may have about surgery.
Vision typically takes a few days to improve following surgery. Your vision may be blurry as your eye heals and adjusts to the new lens. If you are concerned about an extended period of blurry vision, it is a good idea to contact your ophthalmologist for a check on your progress.
When cataract surgery is performed by a skilled and experienced board-certified ophthalmologist, the risk of side effects or complications are incredibly low. Cataract surgery is a very routine procedure, and if you follow all of your pre-op and post-op instructions closely, you will give yourself the best chance for a successful outcome.
Vitreous floaters, often just called "floaters," are located in a posterior cavity of the eye. Since cataract surgery is designed to replace the lens of the eye, the procedure will not treat or reduce the appearance of floaters. Some patients may find floaters more prevalent after cataract surgery due to their dramatic improvement in overall vision clarity. For most patients, floaters are small in size and only noticeable in certain lighting conditions; however, patients who have their vision significantly impacted by the presence of large floaters can undergo laser vitreolysis to further improve their vision.
As long as you are in good health and do not have any other serious eye diseases or conditions, you are likely to be a good candidate for cataract surgery. There is no age limit for cataract surgery and the procedure can be performed as long as it can be deemed safe by Dr. Sumsion.
When you come to Riverside EyeCare Professionals, Dr. Sumsion will perform a comprehensive eye exam and review your medical history to determine if cataract surgery is the best option for improving your vision. If there are questions about your overall health that could complicate surgery, Dr. Sumsion may require appropriate medical clearance from your primary care physician.
In some cases, patients with retinal conditions that can complicate cataract surgery may require clearance from a specialist. Diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusion, peripheral retinal lesions, uveitis, and epiretinal membrane formation can potentially impact the outcome of cataract surgery. A retinal specialist will be uniquely qualified to closely inspect the retinal tissue for disease, determine the degree of disease, and perform treatments that can improve the patient's candidacy status for cataract surgery. If or when patients are clear for surgery, the specialist will provide approval for Dr. Sumsion to perform cataract surgery.
Cataract surgery is typically classified as medically necessary since the condition can lead to blindness when left untreated. As a result, most insurance providers and Medicare cover at least a portion of the cost for cataract surgery. Patients using Medicare may be required to meet a deductible or make a copayment. For patients needing additional financial assistance, a member of our staff can review our financing options, which can provide low to no interest loans with low monthly payments.
There may be a few options to consider when deciding which intraocular lens is best for restoring your vision during cataract surgery. Dr. Sumsion offers both monofocal lenses and multifocal lenses, including the TECNIS® Multifocal Lens and Crystalens®, to meet your vision needs. While monofocal lenses are typically less costly, multifocal IOLs can deliver advanced correction that can improve vision at all distances. During your consultation with Dr. Sumsion, he will perform a comprehensive eye examination and guide you toward the IOL that is best suited for you.
In most cases, patients are able to reduce their reliance on prescription glasses to see more clearly after cataract surgery. The degree and range of vision improvement generally depends upon the patient's vision correction needs prior to surgery and the type of IOL that is implanted during the procedure. Multifocal IOLs typically deliver the highest level of vision correction, allowing patients to see better at all distances. Patients who receive monofocal IOLs are more likely to need glasses for near and intermediate distances.
The day of your cataract surgery, Dr. Sumsion recommends arranging for a loved one to drive you home. As the eye heals, you may experience irritation, discomfort, or mild blurriness that would make it difficult to drive. Prescription eye drops may help alleviate these symptoms until the healing process is complete. After the eyes are completely healed, patients should see much better than before, and their vision on the road should be significantly improved both during the day and at night.

Those "kids with their phones," as managers often disparagingly refer to Millennials, are likely your employees and customers. More important, they are the future of your company. Millennials (born 1980-2000) will represent 75 percent of the workforce by 2025, and they have certainly made some waves the past few years. Now we need to make way for the even larger population of Generation Z (post 2000).
Like the generations before them, Millennials are bright, wonderful people whose qualities can breathe new life into your company—and they are probably more maligned than any previous generation of workers. They have brought seismic changes to work as we've always known it, with their universal adoption of new technologies and social media, bringing new transparency. They're also forcing workplaces to evolve into more democratized, collaborative spaces where ideas are often more important than experience and decision-making is shared.
The fact is that what has worked in the past will likely fall short of what's needed for the future. This creates a major opportunity for your organization. Embracing both change and the best each generation in the current workforce contributes to the whole will put you so far ahead in so many ways, you'll never look back. And, really, you have no choice. Here, you'll learn what you need to do to survive these changes and thrive.

Web Design is an art of transforming an idea or a story into a visually appealing design. When a new web or mobile application has to be built, a team needs to be there to discuss the project, involving the chief technology officer, UX and UI designers and of course the developers' team. Designers should prepare the website prototype and layout according to the customer choice before developers can start developing it.
Client: "what is the trend in web development right now?"
Web Agency: "It must be fast, reliable and secure"
Client: "Anything else"?
Web Agency: "Websites should work well on mobile phones, that are simple to navigate, use and designed to convert visitors into customers"
If you are looking to build a new website for your business or you are trying to inject a new life into an existing one, it's imperative to have an idea of design trends in 2019.
Let's start by defining UI and UX terms.
On one hand, UI design stands for "user interface". The user interface is the graphical layout of an application. It consists of the buttons users click on, the text they read, the images, sliders, forms and all the rest of the items the user interacts with including screen layout, transitions, interface animations and every single micro-interaction or visual element, or animation must all be designed.
UI designers create the look and feel of an application's user interface and they decide what the application is going to look like. On the other hand, "UX" stands for "user experience". A user's experience of the app has to be determined by how visitors interact with it. Does interacting with the app give people a sense of how easy or difficult it is to interact with the user interface elements that the UI designers have created. Constant communication and collaboration between UI, UX designers, and developers help to assure the final user interface looks goods and operating efficiently. So Let's explore the top 11 UI and UX trends in 2019.
Now that you have a general idea about the role of a different team of our company let's begin with this first trend. Catchy Hero image has become very popular in web design, they dominate the above-the-fold web design space that can be full-width images or a video and add the company's most important information right in the most popular viewing spot. This way it keeps visitors engaged.
Let's take an example, we have re-designed Zeamo a Website fitness platform that connects the top health club brands around the world. UI Designers added text headline and Web form with a (CTA) bottom to gather detailed information about visitors who are interested to be in the gym network.
Let's us take another example of HermanSmit.nl website that we have designed for our client and integrated in with a client-friendly WordPress framework using Front-Ends and Back-End programming languages such as HTML/CSS, and PHP, and we have focus on elegant and large full-screen to create a bold design that grabs your attention. Large, oversized images grab the user's attention when they land on a page.
They also help them to show the brand's unique selling point (USP). Web designers create hero images using photos of real human faces.
We know that consumers feel pleased when they see a website that is immediately easy to read, clear and understandable
In history, illustrations have been integrated into diverse print stuff like books, magazines, posters, and flyers. Recently, now in the year of 2019 new technologies pushed the limits opening the time to digital illustration such as websites and mobile applications, as a new way to enhance usability and visual appeal of the interfaces.
In particular, this is a Website that we have developed Cursive Security. We used the technique of digital illustration in various parts of the Website.
As fashions change, so design trends change also, and websites aren't off the hook. After several years of design being flat, designers are now tending to use this new trend. In this era, visitors are beginning to be more attracted to asymmetric and organic shapes. Asymmetric structures such as square, triangle, straight lines or consistent and regular curves have been widely used until now.
This type of illustration create an illusion of movement that helps to make the site come alive.
This is an example of our work portfolio. We have designed this unique Book a Trainer Website that is an online platform where trainers and organizations can come into contact with each other. We worked on the fluid and organic shapes design trend.
Digital experiences have become a huge part of most lives today and providing this human experience digitally is a very important part of the success of a retail website.
To give you an idea of Status:Q an e-commerce website that we have developed that sells luxury watches. The website has a stunning scrolling animation with a Photorealistic high-quality images that are interactive and gives the end user a richer experience, making them want to explore other aspects of the watch. The combination of flat and real-life objects will challenge the way we see the design.
The new trend of using asymmetric grids and creating a "broken" experience for the viewer is at its peak now. In fact, the grids were used to help add content to a website in an aligned and consistent way. Generally, layouts made with grids look symmetrical and structured.
However, Asymmetrical design is one of the more complicated techniques to pull off, but when done well results in beautiful and eye-catching designs. In Asymmetry you have to determine what part of your image will carry the visual weight. It can be an image, typography or even whitespace.
To illustrate, this is Countryside Madison website that we have developed, the company rent Short-Term houses property and this new trend of grid and asymmetrical design make the website stand out from the crowd.
Now that we have talked about design, let's focus on the content of the website, what is the benefits of storytelling in UX for your business and how you can start using it right away?
Brands are trying innovative ways to differentiate their products or service and storytelling is one of the dynamic UX trends that will be used by designers to create an experience that will give businesses a competitive advantage.
And telling your story to your customers and stakeholders, will help them understand why your product or service is worth buying or investing in.
Finally, Copywriters and designers work in collaboration to provide UX copy content for your website and must be designed to help users to better engage and connect with your product or service.
Having looked at innovative ways of how businesses have to differentiate their service with a unique design illustration and unique storytelling in UX, there are other benefits such as having a unique personalized website or mobile application.
Customers today don't just want any web or mobile app that works, they want a website or an app that is personalized to save their time and that recognizes their interests or preferences.
Users that have signed-up to your web or mobile application may have their unique personal dashboard, that delivers particular information, restrict or grant access to certain tools, or simplify orders or transactions by remembering information about their account.
In the first example of a directory site, a user may see promotions and specials offers for location they've visited before or recently searched. Usually, the database of the website or app holds substantial data about each employee.
In the second example of a fitness app, users can check their total steps of an entire day and calories burned while walking, running and cycling through the day. This way the application will only show his unique personalized result performance.
A lot of companies today are creating custom website experience using many types of data visualization methods. In fact, data visualization is the presentation of data through pictures and graphs, so users can get access to data into charts and graphs for more details to have a better understanding of data. Ask your developer to help you determine what type of graph will be useful for you to display. Data visualization helps
What is universal design experience? Universal design makes products and services more accessible, prepare the ground for better usability, better experiences and a human-friendly way to the future. Let us take the example of Starbucks the famous American coffee company that is eager to provide excellent customer service by embracing the mobile application universal design experience.
Not only Starbucks was the first store to provide mobile payment in 2011 but it has the initiative to use the "geo-push" early on location-based app notification to alert users that there is a Starbucks coffee nearby and to let them know about special offers.
Are you wondering how artificial intelligence could help you design a better user experience?
Artificial intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. The technology can be applied to different sectors and industries
From websites to cars and home mobile applications, this is how AI could help and bring UX to its maximum potential.
To improve user engagement in a website or E-commerce website, UX teams use tools and metrics such as usability tests, A/B tests, heat maps and usage data to track user behavior across various platforms and to provide to clients tips about how to improve their purchasing experience, and eventually leading to more sales.
Chatbots already have gained much popularity in 2018 and in 2019, and are becoming an essential part of many website due to the evolution and progress in artificial intelligence and machine learning. A Chatbot is a computer program designed to stimulate a conversation with human users over the internet
Chatbots can save up to 30% in customer support cost and can help businesses speeding up response times and answering up to 80% of routine questions.
Of well-designed mobile application with great UI / UX, be sure to check out some of our past development works.

First of all we would like to really tell you that to really appreciate Virtual Reality and its scope in so many diverse areas, you first have to really experience it. Let us know, and we will be on it. If you are still here, we are assuming that you have had the experience of it, and are looking for something to further enhance your understanding of it, and really want to apply it to boost the productivity levels within your team, or probably are looking for some novel ways on how to implement state-of-the-art training methodologies in your processes while increasing cross-team engagement, or probably are looking for some entertainment and knowledge in the same proportion. Well, you are at the right place and we are here to give you more understanding of what you might be expecting with the theme being Multiplayer VR.
Virtual Reality has come a long way in terms of adoption, and its applications are increasing by the day. It is now being used in various industries, be it Oil & Gas, Automotive, Defence, Healthcare, Engineering, Construction and even has long-term applications in the Education industry.
Businesses around the globe are developing and constantly working on ways to differentiate their business strategies and standing out from the crowd while adopting new innovative technologies to their benefit. Organizations find hard time adjusting to new technologies as there is a difficulty in integrating newer technologies into their already complex and tedious processes, and have to be rather selective when it comes to what to use, what to apply and what to deploy. Well these are the fundamental questions which the organizations have to keep in mind with the constant shift and upgradation to newer technologies and innovations.
While understanding that VR has great potential and industrial applications, it rather becomes critical to ensure that the integration is seamless, and rather an easy process which the employees can use at any level. While the adoption rates of VR have been magnificent and have been increasing steadily and exponentially, there is always a question we ask to ourselves, 'What's next?'
We realised that the customers are craving for engagements within the VR experience, and were wanting more interactivity features. Employers on the other hands were wanting greater flexibility, and productivity tools to engage their employees across the globe, enabling a more meaningful VR experience, one driven with easy knowledge transfer based experience. This is where the idea of 'Multiplayer VR' really ticked in, and although it is having potential applications in Gamification industry at large (in entertainment), we also realised that its scope in industry has still not been exploited. With the use of VR gears, VR analytics and VR development kits, we were able to spin-off a great and revolutionary product called 'EAGLE' for a great Multiplayer VR experience, allowing users to collaborate at a global scale, while enabling remote access from the main center-stage of L&D training centres, and right to the places where the users are based while collaborating with others across different regions, and they don't have to waste additional time for it.
In our capacity we have identified 3 potential uses of it and we have already started working on various projects as well:
- VR Meetings (Revolutionizing communication) – Take notes and replace video meetings with VR meetings. Target group – Distributed, Remote Teams
- Easy reviews for process and design projects (Increasing productivity) – Made for design teams engaged in iterative design processes. Target group – Product & Engineering Companies
- VR Trainings (Immersive and engagement-driven learning) – Train your employees in VR with increased interactivity while reducing travel and training costs. Target groups – Any company with tangible products in their offerings
With features ranging from creating your rooms, inviting guests, VoIP assisted, uploading 3D assets, Zoom-in and Zoom-out features, uploading files, VR whiteboard feature, session capture, analytics & reporting, and multi-platform, Multiplayer VR does have loads to offer to the industry. Below are some of the specs of our Pro Eagle VR version and Free Eagle VR version –
According to a report, the top challenges for learning & development are that companies have a limited budget (49%), or that they lack the tools to demonstrate ROI (32%), or they may even have a limited L&D team (34%). Check the figure below:
It is also worthwhile to note that as per the same report, that executives at various companies feel that L&D is important and developing the employees is rather a critical need of the hour.
At the same it is that much challenging to prove the value of the business to the leadership and ensuring that appropriate metrics are being used to analyse the ROI of L&D programs, which in itself is a daunting task. However, this is made easy with the analytics that we at Simulanis have developed, and with great features to support cross-region trainings, the EAGLE engine for Multiplayer VR which we have to offer will pave the way for the future learners. The impact of multiplayer VR in L&D is significant, and helps address the above mentioned challenges, including the budget constraints, significantly. The knowledge transfer has become ever more easy, and leaders themselves can engage on the interactive platform to promote learning and development while setting the objectives and results of the training effectively.
To learn more about Multiplayer VR and to apply them in your existing processes, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Ren-chen or year of Water Dragon will start in a few weeks. You may want to fix the regions that will become "dangerous" to fix or dig after Feb.3, 2012 now.
The annual chart for the Year of Dragon is:
Annual chart is based on Purple White Method which holds that 1,6, 8 and 9-star locations are auspicious. 2-black sickness and 5-yellow disaster star locations are inauspicious. Therefore, for current year, Southeast sector with 5-yellow disaster star is the most inauspicious, especially Tai Sui or Grand Duke also sits in that region. You definitely do not want lots of movement and especially "moving earth" (digging or construction) there. If the Flying Star chart of your house has 2-sickness star in the SE, you need to put metal or coin-solution cure there, especially if you have a door there. Same scenario and remedies and precautions if you have a 5-disaster star in the north sector of your house.
"Minimal Feng Shui" is to fix only 2-5, 5-5, and 9-5 star combinations in regions with activities. You don't need to put up remedies or Feng Shui monsters in all 9-palaces of your house, especially in region of no activity like storage room and guest room.
Grand Duke is at Chen mountain (SE, 112.5- 127.5 degree) — minimize movements and avoid construction or digging. 5-yellow disaster star is also in this sector for current year. If your house is facing Chen mountain (112.5- 127.5 degree), your house is said to be "Chong" or clashing Grand Duke. You may want to put a Grand Duke Talisman there for protection (see my previous message on how to get one).
Sui Po or year-breaker is at Xu mountain (292.5- 307.5 degree)– avoid construction or digging.
San Sha or 3-killings are at Si, Wu and Wei mountains (South, 142.5- 217.5 degrees)– avoid construction or digging.
5-yellow disaster star at Xun palace (SE)- avoid construction or digging and movements. Grand Duke sits in Xun palace with 5-yellow– definitely be very careful when you do constructions and movement here (and avoid going SE)!
5-tiger sha at Shen, Geng and You mountains (West, 232.5- 277.5 degrees)– avoid construction or digging and movements.
Yang nobleman sign for this year is Mao (rabbit). Yin nobleman is Si (snake).
You need to do a good date-selection if you need to do construction in any of the above locations (mountains/ palace) or better doing it before end of the current year (rabbit year).
People with dragon and dog zodiac sign should avoid seeing putting corpse in coffin or burial for this year.
Happy New Year!

While Shadowing one of the Floriani Educators last week my brain went into high gear. She could see it as I sat in the back of the room listening to Sarabeth.

July Quilted Block of the month part 2
Last week we focused on the "bones" also known as stitching in the ditch. When you're working on a quilt it's not a "have to do" rather, it's a good thing to do. When working on something like @play the bones get stitched as these would be the ditch in a pieced quilt top. Finer… Continue reading July Quilted Block of the month part 2

my sweetie put the a/c in the window this morning. The last few days the desire to quilt several things has been held at bay while waiting for the a/c or the temperatures to cool down.

Recipe Roll with salmon and greens
- Butter - 25 Grams
- Milk - 175 Milliliters
- Parmesan - 60 Grams
- Parsley - 30 Grams
- Trout slightly salted - 200 Grams
- Black pepper powder - 1/3 Teaspoons
- Wheat flour - 25 Grams
- Egg yolk - 3 pieces
- Dill - 60 Grams
- Egg white - 3 pieces
- Sour Cream - 150 Grams
Technology is not easy, so get into theText :) Take the saucepan, melt the butter in it. Then put the flour in the oil and quickly mix the whisk. Then, with a thin trickle, pour in the milk and, stirring, cook on low heat until it thickens. As thickens - remove from heat. We add yolks and finely grated Parmesan, mix. Then add the finely chopped greens, mix again. Whisk the whipped with a whisk until a strong foam. Accurately mix the cheese mass with proteins. Stir, but very carefully. We cover the tray with parchment paper, pour out our mass on it. We put the pan in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 180 degrees. Meanwhile, we chop the salmon into small pieces. Mix the salmon with sour cream and herbs, add the pepper to taste. We take the baking tray from the oven. The cake is allowed to cool, the parchment paper on which it was baked is discarded. Sprinkle the cake with grated cheese. The fish filling is evenly distributed throughout the cake. Accurately turn the cake into a roll. We give him 15 minutes to stand. Then cut and serve to the table. Bon Appetit!

Best of homes and gardens this week
Design*Sponge kicked off our week with one of our all time favourite sneak peeks (they run this feature every Monday and you can see the full archive here.) This Portland abode is completely our style, homey and rustic, with that lived-in, but still so stylish look and feel. Click here to see the full tour.
We spotted more rustic style over on sfgirlbybay in these white-on-white rooms from Country Living. Whatever you think about living with white, it nearly always makes for beautifully photographed interiors, full of light and amazing details. And one more: Canadian City Sage, Anne served up this amazing space and an inspiration board for recreating the look.
If you really like clean, white spaces, that newly painted look and feel, you'll swoon over this home rumoured to be the new LA abode of Ms Paltrow and Coldplay hubby, Chris Martin. Regardless of celeb occupants, we're in love – stables, that stove and all the outdoor entertaining space you could wish for. And, of course, our inner little girl wants the ponies too!!
As we head into a Canada Day weekend, perhaps a nod also to our very own Canadian talent… a few weeks ago we rounded-up some great gift ideas for under $150… perfect for summer wedding gifts, or for the totally-permissible self-gift. (We're big advocates of the one for them, one for us approach to gift-shopping!)
Finally, if you're off to the cottage (or just fantasizing about cottages) this long weekend, check out Kitka, the blog of Toronto store owners Juli & John (their store Mjölk is worth checking out, both online and in person.) Their cottage renovation is both inspiring and original… think less the typical Canadiana and more Scandinavian cool. Yup, completely inspiring.
For those stuck in the city (we're trying not to complain), maybe some gardening this weekend? Jeffrey Fisher shared some great advice for those with small city gardens. With roses in full bloom all over the city, our garden dreams also feature many varieties David Austin roses. Swoon!
Have a great long weekend!

In general, the public has a right to access judicial records. Nixon v. Warner Commc'ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 597 (1978). However, documents filed with the court under seal are not available to the public. A U.S. magistrate judge for the District of Minnesota recently clarified that documents cannot be kept under seal merely because the parties would prefer it.
In Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. v. Allied World National Assurance Company, the plaintiff requested that over 130 documents filed with the court be kept under seal. However, the plaintiff's reasons for the request varied. Some documents allegedly contained confidentiality clauses or proprietary information, some had been filed under seal in related litigation, and some had simply been previously designated as confidential in the underlying litigation or by third parties.
The court agreed that it was appropriate to seal the documents that contained confidential or proprietary information, as well as the documents filed under seal in related litigation. However, the court declined to seal the documents that had simply been designated as confidential. The court noted that the plaintiff had failed to explain what information needed to be protected, even if the documents were subject to a protective order or to an agreement between the parties regarding confidentiality. Instead, "[t]he parties must identify what in those documents merits confidential treatment." The court based its decision on the common-law right of access to judicial records, noting that "the right of access 'is fundamental to ensuring the public's confidence and trust in the judiciary.'" As a result, the court ordered that over 100 of the plaintiff's documents be unsealed.
As a reminder, sealing of documents in the District of Minnesota is governed by Local Rule 5.6. Attorneys and litigants may wish to familiarize themselves with the rule, which expressly provides that documents may not be filed under seal in civil cases unless permitted by statute, rule, or the court's leave. In practice, this means that documents filed pursuant to a motion or trial may become public documents, even if the parties have a confidentiality agreement.
The case is Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. v. Allied World Nat'l Assurance Co., No. 17-CV-776, 2019 WL 2136147 (D. Minn. May 16, 2019). Please click here to download a copy of the court's decision.

I have nothing but love for Interjeans. This unit blew up with a structured plan that makes the difference in a streetwear world where often even the major players love to improvise, but this here is not the case. I have been in touch with this distributor since the glory days of Upper Playground but in recent times the focus of the company is on brands that have a broader reach.
Among its roster Superdry is without a doubt a favorite and it ain't hard to understand why. Its style keeps on being contemporary, ready to give the best on the themes of the season and today its careful approach is on a leit motif in full swing: army apparel. It seems to be camouflage and army green moment now, so I picked an item from Superdry collection that not only is developed following this mood, but is also odd if you compare it to another hoodie of this brand.
If Superdry fame may be also a result of its hoodies that show a vintage touch made of cracked prints and huge retro logos, here fit and details are the key to understand this Rookie Oversized Hood worn by Ilaria C.
First and foremost how sharp is its bomber pocket complete with a woven label on its left sleeve? The smart move here should be to wear this item with a sleeveless vest that lets this detail show off.
Its thick cord gives character to the hood and its metal tips are branded in a superior way. There is a hidden kangaroo pocket that is accessible through two zippers on the side and it's here that I went literally crazy. Where else could you find a custom zipper pull that includes a microscopic roll (that actually rolls)?
It is also the relaxed fit to make this men's item made of thick terry cloth interesting. Next time you are in town head to your BeStandard store and explore the many options that Superdry offers you. But feel free to shop online: BeStandard website is reliable just like its brick and mortar shop…

After reading a topic on /r/BJJ about the length it takes to get to your black belt and seeing post with and without injury time included, plus me sitting on the sideline; I got thinking about my injury time and thinking of listing them up and keep updating them overtime. It's gonna be fun to see how much time I spent injured/sidelined in total/belt (minor injuries and aches not counting).
White belt = 2 months and 3 weeks:
- Teared my meniscus (right) after a white belt spazzed in the first round of sparring after a seminar, not warmed-up
- Got it stitched up again = 2 months out
- Got a sternum/rib problem because of doing back levers.
- 3 weeks rest (was not enough and had a lot of problems with this over the next ~6 months)
Blue belt = 5 months and 3 weeks:
- Teared my meniscus (left) again. I had my left knee teared and fixed 4 years before that. Nothing specific that caused this. Just the wear and tear on the previous fix. They did a double stitch now ?
- 2,5 months out
- Popped a rib ys7sglj. Was during a very light sparring round but the pain is sharp and will last for a long time. I can still feel it when someones pressure is good.
- 3 weeks out (should be more)
- Elbow luxation during sparring aka freak accident.
- 2,5 months (will be an extra month for sparring and no stand-up for another month, competition after 6 months).
Total = 9,5 months in 4 year training time
To be continued… BUT let's learn something from this:
- Warm-up properly whenever you want to spar. "Let's start light" is almost never a solution, take an extra 5-10min and it can make up for weeks/months staying injured free
- Do some extra strength training to protect your limps. We are letting people try to snap them in half, give them some extra protection by lifting (heavy) ~3 a week.
- Don't overdo it with strength training and fun stuff. I noticed that most of the people who love combat sports, love competition and pushing them self. Take the time to get to know your body and adjust properly. Same counts for grappling!
- Precaution is king but freak accidents happen. Make the best of them and spent some extra time with friends/family and be sure to rehab properly. The mats will always be there.
Thanks for reading and let me know what your total count is! If you have any more physical aches, not injuries (go to the doctor!), let me know and maybe I can give you some tips with the experience I have ?
Kind regards,

I had a question for God
I was surrounded by confusion and the stress of life
So, I asked
'God? What is it that I should do?'
Tired, defeated and feeling alone, I hoped for an answer.
In my heart, I heard this…
Just Be*
For today, just focus on being
As you are simply Being, Be with Me
For this is where you will find Life and Live! Heb 11:6
When you are being with Me, there will be no room for fear…as where I am fear cannot remain Romans 8:15 2Tim 1:7
Expectation in yourself & others will vanish for your eyes will be only on Me – and you will be satisfied…for I cannot disappoint. Psalm 23
This is the key that unlocks the door and will bring you to Peace
Peace is not only a just feeling it is in Me, Jesus, who is in God John 14:27
So for today, just be with Me
For as we are together you will hear Me, and I will tell you many things and you will find your way through
For my delight is in you – won't you take delight in Me?' Psalm 16:3 Psalm 18:19
*This is referenced for one who is blood bought and saved, a Christian . Matt 11:28 Col:3:1 Phil:4:6-7

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States authorities on Wednesday (Dec 16) added a new "bulletin" category to the national terror-alert system, aimed at communicating intelligence on lower-level threats to American citizens.
The country implemented an alert system in 2001 to communicate threats to the public, under two categories: elevated and imminent.
But the Department of Homeland Security had yet to issue any alerts under the system, because the threat level never rose sufficiently to warrant it.
Under the new system, the lower-level category of "bulletin" will be used for "describing broader or more general trends and current developments regarding threats of terrorism", the DHS said.
The agency issued its first bulletin on Wednesday (Dec 16), which will stay in effect until June 16 next year.
While the authorities stressed there remains no credible, specific terror threat to the United States, the bulletin warns of a "new phase in the global threat environment". It states: "Particularly with the rise in use by terrorist groups of the Internet to inspire and recruit, we are concerned about the 'self-radicalised' actor(s) who could strike with little or no notice."
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson also said that immigration officers are increasingly scouring social networks to glean information on some visa applicants.
"We've begun to consult social media with regard to certain immigration benefits. We began that very early this year. I think we need to do more of this," he told reporters.
The US authorities are on edge in the wake of the San Bernardino mass shooting on Dec 2. The FBI is investigating this as a terrorist attack.
The attack, carried out by Syed Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik, left 14 people dead.
FBI director James Comey told the US media the two had exchanged private messages in late 2013 "showing signs in that communication of their joint commitment to jihad and to martyrdom".
But he said that, despite reports to the contrary, there was no evidence the pair posted public messages supporting terror on social media at that time - something that could have alerted investigators to their intentions.

Wynston snapped some photos at the local newspaper building on Saturday of our latest buffalo find around Great Falls, Montana. This one has a Native American feel. I love the faces on it and the artist is very talented. Hope you enjoy the photos taken of this buffalo.
Creative Expressions
I started snapping photos at the Farmer's Market and it got me to thinking. There are so many different ways to express one's self creatively. I am always picking up craft books and thinking of things I want to explore creatively and even include my kids in the projects. The next big project on my list is paper mache with finishing them by painting designs or possibly some mosaics. I have been saving up newspapers and have a pretty big stack to get started.
Hat Advertising and Recycling
Just thought I would drop a note about Lora Korenko here in Great Falls. She is whipping up some fun fashion these days by way of covering your head. My family enjoyed visiting with her this past Saturday at the Farmer's Market. This is a fun way to show what brand of brew or soda you prefer. I personally thought the Pink Lemonade had was the prettiest of all.
Ornament Stitching
I have been stitching for a few weeks on a panel of little cute birdies to make into ornaments to sell at a local Christmas show this year. Here are some I have put together.
I am planning on doing more ornaments with different miniature pictures on them and have started stitching those in just the past couple of days. There are three girls at a group home I have been working at that have asked me to stitch them a little something so you will be seeing it here shortly. I just have to keep my fingers busy while doing some overnight shifts at the group homes. The little projects also make me feel like I am getting something completed faster.

Where Did the Summer Go?
Our last Alive @ 5 took place last night. The music was good!!! It was a local disc jockey and the name of his band -- The Steve Keller Band. He played a good mixture of music and people were starting to dance in the street when we decided to head home and fix some dinner on the grill.
I thought I would throw in a few pictures of the local activities at one of these Alive @ 5 outings. This was my first summer attending and I think it is a new permanent thing to check out. I just have to remember to take me a soda along.
The local news station was also out asking people "Why they like coming to these events?" and "Where did the summer go?" I found that amusing as we have been having some of the hottest days this year just in the past several days.
Great Falls Buffalo Hunt
My son, Wynston, and I have decided we are going to venture around our town and take pictures of all the buffalo statues we find. On our excursion last night to the last Alive @ 5 music on Central Avenue, we stopped and took the following pictures of a couple within a few blocks of each other. I love the one with the horses painted on it.
I think we have about 4 more to go to picture, but Wynston is figuring higher. We will have to see.
Also, I got a smile put on my face the other day at the local grocery store (Van's IGA), when a lady with her son were on the same aisle my Wynston and I were. She told her son, "Come on Winston, let's go". I had to ask her his name and then look at my son. I told her our boys had the same name. She said, "It is not common and most people like it when they meet my son." I told her the same was true for us. (Hard to believe my WYNSTON is turning 13 soon. Where did the time go?)
Bouncing Baby Buggy
Recently I was in a local Salvation Army and came across this gorgeous antique baby carriage. I had to ask the manager, who was putting things in the silent auction cases, if I could take a picture of it. This bouncing baby buggy was also an item in the auction. It was so tempting to place a bid but I resisted. Even though I wanted it, I could not picture in my mind a place in my crowded house to put it. I do hope it went to a loving home that will cherish this beautiful classic.
Log Cabin Sewing
I purchased some quilt blocks from my good friend, Judith, through Ebay and have just recently sat at my sewing machine to put them together. They are so colorful!!!
Now, I am having to plan what fabrics to use as borders. I think I have the purple and green one worked out as of last night, but the pink and green one is a different story. It may be traveling with me to the fabric store this weekend.
Colorful Crafts
Thought I would show you some colorful crochet displays at the local Farmer's Market. Savannah had to have an item or two for her dollies. The doll missing a shawl and hat is the one she purchased from. This is her favorite booth and I take her a couple times in the summer to pick out something special.

Unique Statue Art
Chris Miller's "Rainboffalo" is installed on the River's Edge Trail across from the Milwaukee Depot recently. The buffalo was given as a gift to the River's Edge Trail by Tina Schott and Peter Horst.
The fiberglass statue was created for "The Buffalo Hunt" auction to benefit the C.M. Russell Museum in 2005. Miller said his creation took between six and eight months to finish. The statue was bought, but wasn't displayed publically until now, Miller said.
Sturgis South Dakota
In my travels I got to go through Sturgis, South Dakota right when the 70th Anniversary of Sturgis Rally was taking place. Got to love the Mapquest directions. It took us about an hour to drive through this small town inundated with thousands of motorcycles and people dressed in leathers or at times not much at all. I couldn't get my camera to snap fast enough at times but ended up getting some really cool pictures. Motorcycles were seen coming and going through out our road trip starting out and then returning. The cyclist for the most part were very nice even at gas stations, but some were a little short tempered and road hogs literally with some attitude. I am glad we had spurts of rain where they got to cool off and we got to head down the road.

OPM proud to sponsor Thomas Hayman
Thomas was commissioned by the RSPCA Leeds, Wakefield & district branch to create a large sculptural steel memorial tree for the RSPCA Leeds, Diane Miles Memorial Garden being created this summer.
OPM were happy to provide Thomas (who is a valued member of the OPM Pre Press Team) with materials for the sculpture, whilst Thomas donated his time and creativity. The tree consists of 5 2D tree halves welded to form 5 'spoke' like arms, creating a 2 metre tall 3D structure. The material is 'weathering steel' a kind of steel that purposely rusts to create a deep nutty brown colour, this coating then prevents further corrosion. It has small holes drilled along the branches to allow tags to be attached in memoriam of deceased pets.
A beautiful space has been created at the Animal Centre for people to come and remember their beloved pets. Just a quiet space to sit and remember, and even get a tag engraved to hang on our special memory tree. The organisation helps take care of the animal for a small fee once it has passed, the metal tags purchased to hang upon the tree will help towards raising funds towards their ongoing work.
The Diane Miles Memorial Garden was opened on Saturday 6th October by Keeley Donovan (from Look North), the garden and tree were enjoyed by all. The event had a photo competition, and harvest table competition judged by the mayor of Morley as well as lots of stalls and refreshments. A plaque was added as a thank you to all those who made the garden possible.
The RSPCA Leeds, Wakefield and District Branch provides a safe haven in which abused, neglected, and abandoned animals can be cared for, socialised and rehabilitated before they are found a new home.
The branch can provide accommodation for 15 dogs, 30 cats and 8 rabbits at any one time.
The Leeds animal centre and community work costs £270,000 a year to enable it to continue the work we in this branch area where 351 animals were rehabilitated and re-homed in 2017. This equates to around £740 a day to find. All animals that come into the Animal Centre are health checked, flea/wormed regularly, treated for sickness or injury if necessary, vaccinated, micro-chipped and neutered/spayed.
Although income generated from fundraising activities and charity shops go a long way in helping to pay for this, it is still very difficult and the Team in Leeds really do appreciate any support the local community can give whether it be donations for our shops, tombolas, monthly giving, fundraising or anything at all would be absolutely brilliant.

With two separate bachelor degrees in English and Biology and a JD in law, Randal Nardone is an individual who needs no introduction, as his vast accomplishments speak on his behalf. Randal who is a co-founder and also the CEO of alternative investment giant\, Fortress Investment boasts a long, compelling career in the finance realm.
He is one of the best asset managers around, as well as an innovative leader, characteristics that have seen him lead Fortress to being a market leader in alternative asset management. His efforts to make the company a leader have also enabled him to reap massive benefits as he is now among world billionaires ranking #557 on Forbes. Visit bu.edu to know more of Randal Nardone
Where it all began
Despite him being an influential figure in finance, it is important to note that he started his career in law, and as stated earlier, he even holds a JD. However, shortly after the genesis of his career in litigation at Thacher, Proffitt & Wood law firm, Randal Nardone realized that his passion lied in numbers and immediately began to look for ways that he could connect the two fields. He found this connection in finance management and soon secured a position at Blackrock finance.
Being a man who excels in everything he does, it was not long before he attracted the attention of high profile companies in finance, and soon secured the position of director at UBS. He worked here for a short while, but his natural entrepreneurial skills could not allow him to continue being employed. So in 1998, Randal Nardone joined hands with Rob Kauffman and Wes Edens, individuals who like him had the same goals, and together they established Fortress.
Even though Rob Kauffman resigned a few years later, Randal Nardone together with two other principals of Fortress has been faithfully shepherding Fortress to green pastures with each wake. He has had a hand in the formation of multiple Fortress affiliates and remains instrumental in the running of all of them. He also holds senior positions in financial firms such as Eurocastle, IMPAC commercial holdings, Springleaf and a long string of others.
Despite his tight schedule, Randal Nardone still creates time for his family, and for the community as well, as he takes time to contribute to various charitable causes.

Resources > White Papers
When you think about employee engagement and the overall patient experience, there is often a disconnect. You may think, "How does a maintenance technician's engagement level really impact the experience patients will have in my hospital on a daily basis?"
Disengaged employees often stem from a place of stress in the workforce. On the other hand, when employees are engaged - that is, involved in, enthusiastic about and committed to their work and workplace - organizations can see a measurable impact on their company.
We will take a deep dive into the impacts of engaged, not-engaged and actively disengaged employees and connect the dots between employee engagement and the patient experience using data and identifying a road-map that can be used to optimize the level of employee engagement within your hospital.
Cost control surpassed revenue growth as healthcare system CEOs' number one priority in 2018. Sixty-two percent of respondents to Advisory Board's Annual Health Care CEO Survey shared they were "extremely interested" in "preparing the enterprise for sustainable cost control." This percentage exceeds any topic in the past four years of the survey's existence.
CEOs understand that to deliver exceptional care, they must use competitive cost structures to build effective growth and financial sustainability. By investing in the people and processes serving in operational roles, healthcare enterprises will not only ensure their hospital runs effectively in the short term, they will also set their organizations up for long-term success and lower future costs.
In this resource, we aim to:
As healthcare leaders seek new ways to do, earn and serve more, they often overlook three surefire sources of savings, efficiencies, and competitive advantage, particularly when combined: employee engagement, communications and data.
When organizations successfully engage their customers and employees, they experience a 240% boost in performance-related business outcomes, reports Gallup. On the surface, these may seem like separate issues – swaying internal audiences, showing value and engaging employees. In this resource, we'll help you understand how one fuels another, with data and communications helping you bridge the gap to build relationships that are fruitful and profitable for everyone involved.
What You'll Learn:
-How to develop an employee engagement plan that increases productivity & efficiencies.
-How to build value and relationships with internal audiences through effective communications relevant to each audience.
-Identifying the right data and tools to engage internal and external audiences.
Patient suicide ranks among the top three sentinel events, reports The Joint Commission (TJC), prompting regulators to focus heavily on ligature risks. If many suicide attempts are impulsive, TJC reasons, then reducing environmental risks and opportunities for self-harm is vital for curbing the suicide trend in healthcare settings.
With that in mind, surveyors are taking a hard look at ligatures: potential hanging or choking points in healthcare facilities. This whitepaper addresses these issues and provides vital information for you to utilize in your own healthcare facilities to ensure a smooth survey, and most importantly a safe healing environment.
Tornadoes. Active shooters. Technology misfires, construction mishaps, infectious disease outbreaks, or other scenarios you never would've guessed. These are no longer rare occurrences: It only takes a cursory glance at news headlines to realize crises strike healthcare facilities and the people they serve every day.
The ability to respond and resolve crises with minimal loss — to people, property, productivity and profits — isn't something healthcare facilities can afford to skimp on or put off.
In this resource, you'll find practical guidance for emergency preparedness and response, specific to healthcare environments. You'll learn essential practices that will save you from trouble in the future, and mistakes that can derail your efforts, sink your profits or reputation, and put patients at risk.
Our goal is to leave you with at least one idea you can implement immediately. With so much at stake, every improvement is another layer of protection against potentially catastrophic harm.
Look around. Chances are most leaders in your organization are nearing retirement age.
Who will carry your organization when the current generation of leaders ages out of the workforce?
Just as important, what are you doing today to counter the massive productivity and revenue losses that follow employee disengagement, or misalignment between needs and skills?
If you want the kind of organization that's resilient and profitable for many years to come, you might be surprised to learn the very strategies many hospitals adopt to save money can actually cost them far more in a not-so-distant future.
In this resource, we'll guide you through:
Why is this important?
With the ever-changing landscape of regulatory compliance, the key to success is to be nimble and adaptable to the changes recently made by The Joint Commission and prepare for changes on the horizon. In this white paper you will find:
Patient safety and satisfaction demand safe, efficient facilities, which, in turn, demand ample resources.
