Our hair removal at Sage is gentle and effective. We use only the highest quality professional wax of both soft and hard wax. We believe in using hard wax for those delicate areas which allows for fast and efficient waxing with gentle results. Hard wax is a stripless wax which is formulated with revolutionary polymers for flexibility. This wax adheres firmly to fine and coarse hair without sticking to skin and is heated at a low temperature to minimize irritation. Our soft wax (used for larger areas of the body) is hypoallergenic and fragrance free and good for all skin types. It is applied thin, which allows us to cover larger areas so we can take care of you in an efficient manner! Our wax leaves the skin smooth with no residue left behind. All waxing includes a organic cleansing ritual and organic aloe treatment.
Stay up on your waxing and purchase a series. Purchase five and receive the sixth one complimentary.
• Brows $20
• Lip $18
• Chin $18
• Full Face $60
• Classic Bikini $40
• Extended Bikini $50

FAQ About Hair Removal
How do I prepare for a bikini or brazilian wax before a big event?
If you are not a regular waxer or have never waxed before and have a big event coming up, such as your wedding, a vacation, etc., we would not recommend getting your first ever wax a couple of days before you go. Plan ahead and try to get in at least two (2) waxes before you leave. This way, the first wax, which will be the more uncomfortable one, is out of the way. After your second wax, the results will be better and you won't be uncomfortable for your special event.
How long does my body hair have to be to have it waxed?
Body hair would need to be at least be 1/4 inch long for the wax to effectively remove the hair. It is best to let your hair grow for at least 3 weeks after your last shave and at least 4 weeks after your last wax.
Can I get a bikini or brazilian wax if I am menstruating?
Yes of course! Just know that you will be more sensitive. We advise taking an ibuprofen approximately 20 minutes before your scheduled appointment to help ease some of the discomfort.
Can I get a bikini or brazilian wax if I am pregnant?
Yes! However, please clear this with your doctor first. Just like waxing when you are menstruating, being pregnant will leave you more sensitive during and after your wax. Please keep in mind that we may not be able to successfully do a full brazilian wax if you are 5 months pregnant or more and have not ever received a brazilian wax, or have not been waxed for over a year. It is just too much for the skin that is already sensitive.
Will I get ingrown hairs?
It is possible. Waxing removes the entire hair, root and all, from the follicle. Your skin naturally hardens and thickens over the area that was waxed so it is important to keep that area gently exfoliated. Use our Sageborn Lemongrass Facial Polish in the area about 2 days after waxing and continue to exfoliate 1 to 2 times a week thereafter for best results. Also, use a mixture of tea tree, lavender and coconut oil after showering. These ingredients are antimicrobial and antibacterial and will prevent irritation and hydrate the skin. Try to wear loose-fitting clothing for a few days after to give your skin a chance to breathe and reduce moisture. The bikini, lip and underarms are where we tend to perspire the most. Perspiration and moisture cause bacteria to grow. Once that area has been waxed, the follicle is wide open to bacteria creeping in. Try to avoid heavy exercise that will increase perspiration and chaffing for about 24-48 hours after waxing.
Will waxing make my hair grow back thicker/stronger/darker?
Absolutely not. Waxing does not cause you to grow more hair follicles. In fact, if you become a regular waxer, you will notice that your hair will become quite sparse and not as coarse. When hair is shaved, it is cut off at the thick part of the hair, which is why you can feel stubble the next day. A properly waxed hair is removed from the root, and when the hair starts to grow back it is a new hair, very fine at the tip, so no stubble. The only things known to stimulate hair growth are hormones: natural or artificial.

Williams & Graham, a new speakeasy that's the vision of Todd Colehour, a former head honcho at Kona Grill, was slated to open in June with cocktail-tender Sean Kenyon.
Until recently, Kenyon had been the star-tender at the now-closed Squeaky Bean, spearheading the beverage program. He was set to oversee the cocktail syllabus at the Occidental, which Squeaky Bean owner Johnny Ballen had intended to plant in the Squeaky Bean space -- but that plan is now dead in the water. So he's slinging drinks at Euclid Hall until the Squeaky Bean finds a new place to grow -- and until Williams & Graham can get its liquor license squared away.
"We pulled the first application, because we knew it was going to be be denied," says Kenyon, explaining that the liquor-license hearing officer "didn't believe that Williams & Graham was necessary for the neighborhood or that we carried our burden of proof at the hearing." In addition, Colehour didn't have lawyer representation.
He does now, and he's reapplied for a new license. "The hearing officer recommended denial, but we pulled it and reapplied before it actually made its way up to the Director of Excise and Licenses," notes Kenyon, who adds that Williams & Graham has the support of HUNI, the Highland United Neighbors organization, and Colehour has signed a Good Neighbor agreement. "We have plenty of support -- people walk by every day asking when we're going to open -- and there's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be granted a liquor license this time around," Kenyon says.
If they're successful, Williams & Graham plans to hold its soft opening over Labor Day weekend.

All through December, SFoodie is bringing you local gift ideas for the food obsessives in your life.
Your favorite host or hostess will love that your Frog Hollow pear and Bellwether Carmody cheese bounty ($38) can be opened and devoured in fine fashion during cocktail hour. This fruity flavor combination is a classic, and works for even the most persnickety of palates. Frog Hollow pears are something of a royal treat, all lush, sweet and juicy -- no sandy or sour notes to be had.

- Make-Your-Own French Macaron Sampler in Hayes Valley
Frog Hollow's pears are grown and ripened on a thriving 133-acre farm that is certified organic with C.C.O.F. (California Certified Organic Farmers) in Brentwood, California, in the East Bay. It's a good one-hour drive from San Francisco and worth a picking trip during harvest season next year.
Frog Hollow promises that the Bellwether cheese was: "inspired while touring Italy, [when] Liam Callahan, Bellwether's farmer and cheese maker worked to create a distinctive cow's cheese that was mild yet full of 'fresh milk flavor.' An excellent table cheese, the Carmody enhances the vanilla notes of the Warren." Sustainable, tasty, handpicked beauty: this tasty box brings it.

The Access Project: Tutor Profile
Our work with The Access Project (TAP) is coming up to the end of the first academic year, it's been a big success.
The West Midlands has welcomed 58 tutors to the TAP family and together they have clocked up over 700 hours of tutorials, which is truly a remarkable achievement for TAP's first taste of life outside London.
Rob Laker tutors two students at Forge, here he tells us a bit more about his experience and why he became involved with The Access Project.
What do you tutor?
I hold one-to-one tutorials with two A level maths students. We meet in the local library and work on all aspects of study – better understanding of the key concepts; going through past-papers; study techniques; exam preparation. By working with the same students each week, it is possible to tailor the tutorials to their specific needs.
Why do you tutor with The Access Project?
I volunteer for a number of reasons. I think it is a good thing to try and contribute to the local area. The students on The Access Project have so much enthusiasm and I think they deserve every chance to turn their ambitions into reality. Tutoring also benefits me personally, because I really enjoy it and it gives me a different focus at the end of a working day.
How did you first get involved with The Access Project?
I began volunteering as a STEM Ambassador (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) and I continue to help at school STEM clubs and careers events. During a STEM event last year, I heard about The Access Project and thought it sounded excellent so I dropped them an email. A couple of months later I was signed up as a tutor, it was really easy.
What do you get out of being a volunteer tutor?
I enjoy all aspects of tutoring. I have always loved maths and the students are a pleasure to work with. Working one-to-one makes it easier to see the impact that the tutoring makes and it's very satisfying when everyone's effort pays off. Working with young people is something I would recommend to anyone and it is a refreshing contrast to my day job. Plus it's nice to feel useful!
What are your passions and interests outside of tutoring?
I have a passion for learning that fits well with being a tutor. I'm currently working towards my fourth degree, which takes up a lot of my time. Outside of studying I like playing sport (mainly squash and football), long-distance walking, astronomy, and cooking.

I contracted with Rosehill Gardens for a complete landscaping project that included site assessment, complete landscape design and plantings, irrigation, and the laying of sod. The project was complex. The project manager and landscape architect was Amanda White. Rosehill did a magnificent job. In addition to the quality of their plantings to the meticulous detail of adhering to specific land contours and superior service, to highly coordinated efforts between landscape, irrigation, survey, etc., it was a superior job. Amanda was 100% customer service. Every individual employee was first class, hardworking, and very positive. I give Rosehill the highest marks possible for a job extremely well done.

Knowledgeable designers, full service landscaping, great selection of warranted plant material and a beautiful event space as well. You can't get a better, more respected company than Rosehill gardens.

Just a quick note to let you know that the hydrangeas you planted in my backyard about a year ago are doing GREAT – lots of huge, white flowers. It's a big improvement over the vanilla strawberry ones that were there before. The new plants are doing well despite deep shade. White azaleas in front yard are also thriving. I wanted you to know how pleased I am with the work you did last year.

Tracy H. May 24, 2019Read More Testimonials
Rosehill is absolutely a 5 star operation. I used them to fully design and install the landscape in my backyard. I met with designer Tom Hall and discussed what I had in mind as far as wish list items, types of features and plants, and Tom delivered a design that not only captured everything I was looking for, but really brought design expertise and concepts that I wouldn't have thought of on my own. I initially planned to tackle this project on my own, but I'm so glad that I hired these guys. They definitely earned their reputation, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. After signing the contract, the entire process was incredible and very well managed by Tom. The only time I had to call Tom during the project was to tell him how happy I was with the how the yard was shaping up. It has been exciting to return home everyday from work to watch to progress with no hassle on my part at all. We also included lighting and irrigation in the scope of the project, and the materials and work quality are both top notch.
Lance May 21, 2019Read More Testimonials
They did an awesome job! Call Jason! He is awesome. Eddie did a great job with our patio and fire pit.
May 2, 2019Read More Testimonials
I know we spoke about our "event" yesterday but today I just must share what has been happening here on our job with your crew and designer John. The wall is absolutely perfect, but I had wanted to just make a safe way to get into the back yard without too much cost. The cosmetics were not as important as the practicality and John and I had talked about a couple of different ways. I opted for slate to go down the slope, I was so wrong. Yesterday, the crew laid and cut the slate, etc God bless them, after my husband & I went out we knew it was too much a pitch to be safe for us or the grandchildren. So John came back out this morning and they have removed the slate and we are going back to John' s original plan of steps. All of them were so kind, and John is particularly a gentle soul, and we will get the steps as soon as John gets things lined out. Just wanted to share my appreciation and I gave the crew my apology for all they had done only to remove. That's one of the reasons we love working with Rosehill, just a great group of people.
Carol December 7, 2017Read More Testimonials
I just wanted to let you know what a lovely job the young lady did who planted our beds for us. We just had our first big event out here this past Saturday… had somewhere between 65-75 people attend… and they were most complimentary of how the yard/flowers looked! So please pass on my thank you to her, and thank YOU for ensuring that it was completed on time! I even had a few ask who did our planting for us… and I of course passed on your name!
Our next big event will be a High School Graduation Party, sometime between May 18-21, exact date is yet to be determined… but we will have family here that entire time. Thanks again… looking forward to many more events, working together!!

Some recent Torque Developments International reviews:
Mr Paul Golding, LOTDR:
"We're absolutely delighted that TDI (Torque Developments International) will be continuing their valued support of all three LOTRDC run race series in 2012.
Having been at the heart of policing all three Lotus series in 2011: the all new Lotus Cup UK Championship, the hugely successful Lotus Cup Europe and the Elise Trophy it's important that we have continuity in the way regulations and especially power are policed. Over the last four years TDI have gained a reputation amongst the Lotus Motorsport fraternity for their knowledge, accuracy and professionalism to a point where they are recognised as the experts at not just producing a level playing field for drivers who want to compete but at mapping cars for performance and reliability something that is becoming more important with the longer races Lotus Cup UK in particular is providing.
We look forward to working alongside TDI for Lotus Cup UK and the Elise Trophy in 2012. While Lotus Motorsport are also looking forward to again working with TDI for Lotus Cup Europe as series that is owned by Group Lotus, policed by Lotus Motorsport and run on their behalf by LoTRDC."
Mr Andrew Marsh, Maidstone Sports Cars Ltd
"Maidstone Sports Cars has been using Torque Developments International as a technical partner for over 6 years and have been more than satisfied with the technical expertise and professionalism offered by TDI during this period.
Mr Shahin Fard, Team GTR
"Team GTR has been using Torque Developments International for over five years. With their extensive experience in motorsport and road car optimisation they are our preferred partner for engine building and mapping. Utilising their chassis optimisation experience we've seen a step improvement in the handling characteristics of our cars. The most recent work is a complete RB26/30 engine build producing in excess of 1000bhp of reliable RB power. "
Mr Chris Randall, Hoffmans Motorsport
"TDI have been exclusively mapping my own cars and my customers cars for a number of years now. Their methodical and scientific approach to their work is what impresses me most along with their excellent equipment and facilities. They have taken on some very complex projects for me on tight schedules and have never failed to deliver. I have entrusted them with mapping a 950bho Group-C Nissan which took the lead of the first race it performed in subsequently and they have done all the mapping and engine support on my own Lotus Europa race car which has proven to be a dominant, race winning force in the GT Cup Championship as well as Lotus on Track. I would recommend their services very highly"
Mr Simon North, MD at Repsole
"I have been modify cars on and off for 30 years. As I have become older and wiser, I have moved away from the artisan tuning business and the risks they pose. TDi are a profession PLC which have the technical depth and breadth of services in one place. They have technical expertise used by top race teams, a full time staff ordering parts, an engine build clean room, a dyno cell and all the advanced equipment you would expect. Another value add is their contacts with out-sourced specialist, fabricator's, exhaust manufacturers etc. which means you can often get the whole project completed by TDi on time. I have been using TDi for over two years, and although they know me very well, they always insisting in completing a log-in card, stating what I want them to do, so there are no misunderstandings on both sides. TDi also bill me every time I get to a pre set spending limit, so there are no big surprises or bills at the completion of larger projects. When I leave my car with TDi, I am confident that it will be completed to my satisfaction, to the highest standards and will be ready at the agreed time. My car will be safe and secure, fully insured."
Mr James Grange, Licensed Aircraft Engineer/Airline Pilot.
"I have used Torque Developments International's services for almost 20 years now, and being an Aircraft Engineer and familiar with technical matters I am able to say with complete certainty that you will find no better company for all your motoring needs. With complete and utter dedication to every project, all the work is carried out by friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable staff using state of the art equipment, in the cleanest workshop I have ever seen. They continue to impress me with their ability to deliver outstanding results, and it is for these reasons that without hesitation or reservation I will continue to take my cars there for many years to come."
David Wilson – Lotus Racing
"I just wanted to say thank you to you for the support from Shaun and Dennis at the weekend. The guys worked really hard and did and extremely professional job. I couldn't have wished to work with 2 better people. Please pass on my thanks to them. I look forward to working with them again."
Simon Phillips – Motionsport Ltd.
"During 2011 we competed in the Britcar GTN Production championship with a purpose build endurance specification Lotus Elise. From the very start of the project we wanted to ensure that we had the very best partners to ensure that we could meet the high demands of endurance racing. With the level of experience that the team at Torque Developments International has, the decision to bring them on board as technical partners was a very simple one. They provided us with a wealth of expertise from specifying and designing the build through to track side technical support throughout the season. The real proof is in the fact that we won the Class 1 Championship in our first year. You don't do that by luck. We look forward to working with the team at TDI through 2012 and onwards."

Bitburg-Prum Accommodation
Searching for hotels in Bitburg-Prum (Germany) or Bitburg-Prum accommodation? Bitburg Prum, home of the famous Eifel Park, can be found in the Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, nested in the beautiful Eifel Mountains. The area is ideal for memorable hiking experiences in the breathtaking mountain environment. Several amazing rock and water features decorate the green landscape. Hiking trails pass through areas such as the Vulkaneifel with its striking lake and the green meadows of the Lieser Valley.
The Eifel National Park is a fairytale paradise of wood and water. Here you can see one of the most endangered species in the country, among 900 others in the park. The park consists of three magnificent reservoirs, an abundance of wildlife, gurgling rivers and thick beech wood and daffodil forests. Adventurous cycling trails can also be found there. Several interesting events are held in the park on a regular basis. The Seinfeld and Himmerod Monasteries are great places to visit while exploring the countryside.

We're featuring this video today to remind people to consider the sexual freedom of handicapped people. It contains some graphic images that some may find disturbing so viewer discretion is advised. It may be news to some but disabled people have the same need for sexual freedom as everyone else but often with more barriers, such as mobility or the fact that they are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, HIV+, or favor some form of kink. A disabled person may require special assistance or arrangements, as well as caregivers who approve of and are willing to facilitate any sexual encounters. Meeting the ...Read More›

Happy No Shave November, everyone! (not sure who came up with this…) Since when is body hair gendered? Doesn't it just seem logical that people are hairy? Warmth for winter, right? Apparently if you live in mainstream America, the answer is no. From a young age, girls are expected to shave their body hair – it's been turned into a coming-of-age ritual, a tradition passed on from generation to generation. From armpits, to legs, to toes, to stomachs, to pubic hair – what's left untouched by the razor? And speaking of the razor, if you shave, do you buy Gillette? Venus? Disposable?

Did you ever experience a person of authority in the workplace who "ruled" with anger? I say "ruled" because you really can't call it managing, and you really can't call them a manager or even a leader. Although people who accept this barbaric style (do I seem a bit passionate about this subject?) of "ruling" will call it managing. Well, I am here to talk about this beast of anger that exists in millions of businesses from the executive offices to the person who sweeps the floors.
It is the dream of every business owner and manager to have team that is aligned, balanced and satisfied. When the entire team has this mindset, there is little turnover, better bottom lines, the business simply thrives with ease. But if the leader falls short of these expectations, the ripple runs deep throughout the organization. Consider this story about one potential leader:
A nurse (we'll call her Carol) stepped into her boss' office one day to discuss the time off structure. "I believe that part-timers should get paid vacation, too. I have worked here for one year and have not been able to take time off. with pay" Her boss (Bridget) was surprised by her request, since she only worked two to three days per week and had the rest of the week to call "vacation." "Carol, we've had this discussion before and it seems that other part-time nurses are completely satisfied in working with the current structure. What else do you have to talk with me about?"
Carol's anger was mounting as she resolved that she had no other choice but to be persistent – today. It was important to her and her family. "Bridget, this is really important to me and I wish you would not dismiss it as though it were not. Each year my family would like to take vacation without my loss of income. I'm only asking for a week, for God's sake!"
Bridget stood up from her desk. "We are done here. You have come to me for six months, ungrateful for the job I have given you, and you ask for paid vacation while others are perfectly happy with this arrangement. I am not going to re-write policy for one person, let alone a part-timer who is consistent whining!"
Tears brimming in her eyes, Carol left and went back to her desk. She couldn't show this tyrant her defeat, although she felt defeated and a failure. She wanted Bridget to at least consider her request just once. She believed it was a small request that would show little impact. Two days a week? Really? This nursing agency can't afford that?! C'mon!!
Bridget slammed her door upon the heels of Carol's exit. She was billowing with the internal fires of anger. How dare her, coming in here like a princess, demanding that she have more perks than what we already give! She is such a pre-madonna witch!! I oughta just fire her and put myself out of this misery each month.
A faint knock on the door in intervals of three caught her attention. "What?!" she shouted.
"Bridget, a man has been waiting to see you for about 20 minutes, " said the receptionist. "He said he only has 10 more minutes to wait."
"Tell him that he was late, so he's just going to have to reschedule," Bridget barked back.
"Yes, ma'am, I will tell him, but he is here to audit our files." Bridget's body began to shake, she felt out of control. "It's that damn Carol, she started all of this, this morning! "
Bridget instructed the receptionist to detain the auditor just a few more minutes because she had to take care of something extremely important. The staff could hear her vindictive sounding high heels stomping through the walls of cubicles. Who will be next? They were used to this weekly turmoil from Bridget's office. Always someone getting reprimanded or fired. They were nearly immune to the continuous drama.
Her stomps stopped at Carol's cubicle. Bridget hovered over Carol as she sat nervously fumbling through papers and not daring to look up at the "monster." "Carol?" Carol did not dare look her in the eye, she trembled with fear. "I called your name, I deserve your attention, Carol." She finally complied with a wincing eye-response.
"Bridget?" A long pause seemed to suck the air from Carol's lungs.
"Carol, you have caused my whole day to be disrupted, late for my appointment, and it is 9am and you are not out seeing patients. How can I expect to run a decent agency when one nurse cannot comply like the rest?" Carol mustered up the courage to regain her composure.
"But, Bridget?"
"What do you want now, Carol?!" Bridget screamed back in single word accents. " I have someone important waiting!!"
"Today is my day off. I came in on my day off to meet with you, so I will not be seeing patients, today."
"Fine, that's just fine. See, you have a day off! I do not, however, and need to get to an appointment. You can pack up your stuff and get the hell out of here. You have caused too much disruption in the flow of work around here!" With that, Carol experienced a calmness that seemingly came out of nowhere. "Not a problem, Bridget. I will be gone, today. All of my equipment is setting on the counter. Have a successful year, Bridget."
Expecting a fight from Carol, Bridget needed more fuel for her anger. She stomped back to the front desk where the auditor was waiting. She shoved her hand in his face, smiled with all teeth, and made her introduction. She turned dryly and led the man back to her office, again digging her heels into the floor as she walked.
The auditor asked for a glass of water and Bridget stopped for a deep breath, rolled her eyes, and called the receptionist to bring back a pitcher of water and two glasses. None of her actions and words went unnoticed by the auditor. He was within clear ear-shot of the earlier conversation and the eye-roll was the next straw that were tipping the scales of his awaited report.
"Bridget, we met three months ago and discussed a few items that did not pass my audit. Would you present your response and demonstrate the process outcomes?"
"I sent those to you, Mr. Clark, on tie so I thought you were here to clear our response to the discrepancies. Did you receive them?"
"Well, yes, but I need to see how you corrected the process."
"Oh, the process! The process, yes. Well, the nurses took care of that."
As you read this story, you can see where Bridget's fate is headed. What can you point out as some of the key components of how her anger is mounting to an arc, like a flashpoint of fire?
- No filters- speaks in negative terms
- Only one of the side of the story is important- hers
- Blames others for her shortcomings
- Allows impatience to fuel anger
- No compassion
- Seems "put upon" – perhaps a by-product of overwhelm or large undertakings beyond her scope of time or skill
- No delegation of role- did not refer to human resources
- Not a champion for the team- lack of respect
- No leadership skills
- Does not see how her actions affect everyone around her (remember the fearing people in the cubicles?)
It appears that Bridget allowed her anger to surpass what was really important – apparently on a daily basis.
What? You don't think these managers still exist in the workplace in our current society of being equal and kind to one another (tongue in cheek)? Hmmm. Ask around, they exist more than you know. What is important is that you recognize it, report it, and possibly offer help to bring balance – if you are that type of person who is strong enough to handle this style of management. Work with your human resource department, and get some coaching to arm yourself with mental tools to care for yourself.
Now, what to do about Bridget. Eventually, Bridget was reported by Carol to the human resources director. With Carol's persistence and accurate reporting, the human resources department referred Bridget to a coaching program. Their company had an employee assistance program that included six weeks of coaching. Of course Bridget was resistant because her anger was still at the arc of destruction – self-destruction and workplace destruction.
After several phone calls from human resources, and finally a warning, Bridget succumbed and scheduled her first coaching session. She agreed to "meet" her coach over the phone on her lunch break (which Bridget had to create time for to make this work).
Her assigned coach, Cara, greeted her with openness and grace. Immediately, Bridget began spewing out all of her woes with work and how she feels like she could die due to all the stress. She said she was on a heart monitor and taking a sleep study because she cannot sleep and her heart was beating a "million miles a minute."
Cara allowed her to download for about 10 minutes and then stopped her to ask a question: "What's your favorite time of year?" Bridget stopped her spinning abruptly and answered the question. Cara always viewed this as the magic that intercepts the arc of anger. Surprised with the abrupt cadence, Bridget responded, "I like Summer, why?" And, the healing began.
Bridget attended Cara's sessions for the maximum allowed, then hired her for the next year. Bridget had broken a cycle that was causing her suffering for so many years. Each session brought more clarity of her anger: she was angry about her father leaving when she was 10, she was the primary caregiver of her siblings when her mother went to night classes, she had no friends at school, she struggled through college; and, the list went on.
All of these incidents and events in her life impacted how she would interpret the journey in her adult life. 'Fight them off before they get to know you' became her internal mantra. However, without external intervention she may have lived with this in her mind for the rest of her life, impacting everyone around her and beyond (ever "kicked the cat" when you came home from work? It's called the domino-effect.).
Bridget took a short leave of absence, at the recommendation of the director. She was lucky, very lucky to have a director who saw her potential and did not allow Bridget's emotional "baggage" to cloud what she knew was important: take care of the person and the rest will come.
When Bridget returned to work, she – bravely- held a meeting and shared her journey. Most of her staff were understanding and willing to start over. Others had their own arcs of anger that Bridget would embrace as a new journey, just like her boss had done for her.
The agency was able to reclaim their license with Bridget's new diplomatic process. She created a new policy for all meetings that included listening to each individual who had something to input. Bridget made it a priority to really "hear" the complaints and concerns of her staff and to help them make a better impact on the world with their own happiness. Bridget was finally aligned, balanced and satisfied.

How to Recover Platinum From a Catalytic Converter
Platinum is a precious metal that is highly prized for industrial purposes, as it is resistant to corrosion, malleable, conductive, and useful as a catalyst in chemical reactions.
Platinum is one of several rare metals that are used in catalytic converters, which convert the toxic gases produced by car engines to less harmful gases, effectively reducing pollution generated by cars. Although the amount of platinum in a catalytic converter is small, the rarity and easy recycling of platinum make recovering it from a catalytic converter worthwhile.
Remove the catalytic converter from the car. The catalytic converter can be found underneath the car between the engine and the muffler and can be removed using a ratchet, if it has bolts, or a saw.
Find a recycling company that accepts intact catalytic converters. While it is possible to cut open the casing on the converter to remove the platinum-containing structures inside, this is not recommended. The chemicals inside of a catalytic converter can be toxic.
If you do decide to open your catalytic converter, the inside of the converter will contain either beads or a honeycomb-like structure. This is the part that contains the platinum. Most cars have the honeycomb structure, which is made of metal and is more resistant to high temperatures.
You must install a replacement catalytic converter. Removing a catalytic converter and not replacing it is illegal.
- It is illegal to remove a catalytic converter from a vehicle unless it is nonfunctional.

Pretty darn good Nudie-Cutie here from genius Pete Perry. If you've never seen a Nudie-Cutie before (or even if you have), women get naked (well, topless), men make stupid faces and merriment ensues. That's about the size of it. Truly. OK, with plot out of the way you're probably wondering how this rates. It's better than The Immoral Mr Teas (Russ Meyer) but not as good as Herschell Gordon Lewis' The Adventures of Lucky Pierre or Kiss Me Quick (another by Pete Perry). If you go for this sort of thing it's recommended. Mindlesss fun with a cool sleazy sax instro soundtrack.

If you are on Windows 10, you should probably give a try to Windows Subsystem for Linux. Getting a bash shell under Windows was not a trivial task back in the day.
Now you just head to the Microsoft Store and install one. There are variety of distributions to choose from ranging Debian, Ubuntu, Open SUSE and even Kali.
My preference is Ubuntu but wait there are 3 of them! This is quite confusing isn't it?
Well I've finally found a reasonable explanation in this article: There Are Now Three Versions of Ubuntu in the Microsoft Store, Here's Why
So if you need the latest and greatest LTS version simply install Ubuntu. For the moment my choice lays with Ubuntu 16.04 because of some application compatibility that is missing in 18.04 with weasel-pageant.

How to Adjust a Fisher Price Baby Gate
Parents need eyes in the backs of their heads to keep an active baby or toddler in view at all times. Cordoning off a baby-safe area for your child to play in certainly beats baby-proofing an entire household. Fisher Price answered this need with the Step Lock Baby Gate, an easy-to-use gate that allows parents to lock out more dangerous parts of the home to their baby or toddler. Gates install and adjust quickly without the need for hardware and can travel from one room to another with a minimum of effort.
Close the baby gate by compacting it, ensuring the bottom of the gate remains level on the floor. Install the gate only against vertical, flat surfaces—never on curved or irregular walls.
Unlock the gate by pulling the baby gate lever release on the bottom of the unit to the left while simultaneously pulling up on the locking lever next to it. Align the locking lever triangle with the threshold triangle on the bottom of the unit.
Position the gate up next to the door or wall area you plan to block, making sure the locking lever remains on the opposite side of where your child will be. Push the top stationary panel pad against one of the surfaces. Once the gate is closed, the bottom pad will also engage and connect with the surface.
Expand the gate, sliding the panel out until the pads on the movable side engage with the opposite sides of the wall or doorway. The maximum width of the gate expands to 36 inches. If full expansion does not line three of the four pads up solidly against both surfaces, find another location.
Ensure the gate remains in a vertical upright position before locking into place. Check to see that the top and bottom pads are even and aligned with each other on both sides of the gate.
Move the locking lever into the locked position by stepping down on it until you hear it engage in place with a solid "click".
Give a firm shake to the structure to make sure it is not wobbly and to ensure your baby cannot disengage it when pulling on the gate. Make sure the locking lever is all the way down in the locked position.
To open the door, firmly grasp the handle while pressing the release button. Hold the button while you disengage the gate hook. Lift and pull the door open.
Close the door by pushing it closed until it securely locks back into the gate hook. Look to see if the door lock shows any red. If so, the door is not locked into place.
Remove the unit by disengaging the locking lever release while pulling up on it. Align the two triangles and slide the two panels together. Keep the pad surfaces clean by washing them regularly with warm soapy water. Dry the pads thoroughly with a clean cloth. Sticky or gummy pads can affect the holding strength of the door.
The baby gate has a raised threshold, above the surface of the floor. Always step carefully over the threshold when stepping through the gate.

This weekend Kim (co-owner of Paper Boat), Nathan (ye ol' boyfriend) and I all made the trek to Sheboygan to see the Civil Liberties show at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center.
The Civil Liberties show is fantastic and there is work by a lot of peeps I know and work with including Handmade Nation featured artist Stephanie Syjuco. Along with the Civil Liberties show is the DIY Connecting Communities programing that I am a part of with Handmade Nation. I will be doing a week long residency there in October.....
The Handmade Nation 8 minute trailer is on a continual loop in the gallery with the audio playing out loud (for 2 months!). It was so exciting to walk into the room and hear the familar voices of crafters I know!

8 sirens throughout Tonga were switched on as part of the drill exercise in preparation for a tsunami
Radio & TV Tonga, Nuku'alofa, 15/02/2017
Eight Sirens already installed throughout Tongatapu including one at Mo'unga'one were switched on this morning as part of the drill exercise in preparation for a tsunami, triggered by an earthquake.
Ministry of Meteorology, Environment, Information, Disaster, Energy, Communication and Climate Change or MEIDECC and Tonga Broadcasting Commission representing the media carried out a successful drill which was covered live on Radio Tonga One and Two.
Parliament deliberations this morning was cut off from its live coverage on Radio Tonga as part of the drill, because this will be the real situation during any emergency.
During a tsunami warning, Radio Tonga will cross directly to the Meteorological office at Fua'amotu to sound out the alert warning to the public.
The exercise today came after World Radio Day celebrated on Monday February 13th, and the Deputy Prime Minister, Hon. Siaosi Sovaleni saying the information provided by radio is always reliable and accurate.
There are 3 major roles or functions of a Radio broadcasting station, to inform, educate and entertain.
This is a portion of consultations made by officers of NEMO, MET office at Fua'amotu and Radio Tonga during the drill.
The test drill was successful.

WASHINGTON — Lt. David Nartker, the last of nine U.S. sailors implicated in the January seizure of two patrol boats by Iran, will have his punishment for the incident announced Thursday, the Navy confirmed.
Nartker was the most senior of the 10 sailors seized Jan. 12 along with their riverine command boats after the vessels crossed into Iran's territorial waters. During the sailors' overnight detention, Nartker was filmed apologizing for the incident, among other images spread on Twitter and Iranian television for propaganda purposes.
The Navy has not said why Nartker is being punished.
An investigation by the Navy into the incident was released June 30 and found a string of missteps led to the seizure, including the crews were not prepared for the mission, had recently failed navigation tests, did not have enough sleep and were using boats with broken equipment such as radios. The nine male sailors and one female sailor aboard the boats were detained overnight and interrogated by their Iranians captors.
On Aug. 4, Nartker and another sailor, who was not identified, appeared before Rear Adm. Frank Morneau, commander of the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, to hear the charges against them, according to a defense official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
All charges were dropped against the unidentified sailor. However, Nartker was notified he will face punishment, which could include loss of rank or a letter of reprimand.
The appearance before Morneau, known more commonly as a Captain's Mast, is a way to discipline officers or enlisted personnel for minor infringements that would not require a court-martial, according to the Navy. Due to the high-profile nature of the incident, the hearings were elevated to an admiral, a defense official familiar with the hearings told Stars and Stripes.
The fallout from the incident has already resulted in the removal of the commodore and executive officer responsible for the vessels, Capt. Kyle Moses and Cmdr. Eric Rasch. A third officer in charge of the detachment in Kuwait, who was not named, was also relieved of command. Nine Navy personnel were considered for various levels of punishment, said Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg, a spokesperson for Naval Expeditionary Combat Command, which oversees the riverine boats.
In a statement provided to Stars and Stripes, Naval Expeditionary Combat Command outlined the completed hearings and the punishments levied to date:
- Four Navy officers went to Admiral's Mast. Two received punitive letters of reprimand for violating Article 90, disobedience of a superior commissioned officer, and Article 92, dereliction in the performance of duties, of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
- One Navy officer was found not guilty of violating Article 92 and accountability actions for the fourth Navy officer have not yet been completed.
- Two enlisted personnel received a punitive letter of reprimand for violating Article 92.

Storage areas and warehouses have a high potential for pest problems. With the relatively big area to cover and many gaps and holes where pests can nest and multiply, having an infestation is not uncommon. And an additional problem is that if those areas are dedicated to food or some pest-prone materials like clothes or wood, getting rid of pests costs a lot of money simply because it takes time, and the area usually has to be sealed off. Depending on the size of the infestation, a problem with pests might halt your business operations as well.
The storage and distribution business is all about economy – and when working in this industry, you simply just cannot afford to risk the disruption that a pest problem can cause. A lot of companies pay dearly for having a pest infestation. If a factories warehouse is shut down for just one day for fumigation or some other pest control method, this can cost the company thousands, or sometimes even millions. With the high volume of goods constantly moving in and out of your business, it's only natural that you would need a professional pest control company for premier pest security.
Commercial storage warehouses present distinctive challenges for pest control programs. These areas are often large, and pest control professionals have to try to get rid of your pests and do minimal damage to your business in the process. There are many types of insects, animals and birds that can infest your warehouse. Real pest control professionals understand how important it is to commercial pest control clients that their storage facilities and warehouses are effectively treated.
Among the most common types of pests found in these types of areas are insects. These can include a whole variety of pesky animals, but the most common are weevils, ants, moths and a few types of beetles. With insects, pest control is difficult because of their size and the fact that their sources might be hard to pinpoint.
Another common pest found in warehouses and storages are rodents. These are particularly pesky because they tend to chew through a lot of materials and they multiply quickly. Clothes, paper and furniture are especially at risk, as well as food. They can also carry diseases which can cause a serious health concern.
Birds are also a common pest in commercial areas. They tend to nest high up near the ceiling, and can cause serious concerns due to droppings, feathers or some other mess they create. Both visitors and employees can suffer due to birds being present in an area.
Aerex is a leader in the pest control industry and will respond to your concerns immediately. If there is any type of pest or rodent problem in your facility, contact Aerex! Starting with a thorough assessment of your facility, Aerex will create an effective plan to keep your warehouse or storage facility safe and pest-free.

AdvertisementPune: Smartphone users across the city are in a fix after spending quite a few thousands on cellphone handsets to enjoy 4G services and ultimately ending up with 3G speed, and sometimes even lower.
Theoretically, 4G assures speeds above 100 megabytes per second (MBPS). But in most places, no matter on what sites or apps one conducts a speed test, the average range is between 0.5 MBPS and 20 MBPS — considered 2G/3G performance.
All major operators have together added over 6,000 base transceiver stations (BTSs), popularly called mobile towers, between April 2016 and February 2017 across the district. This is about 30% more than what existed till March 2016. Reliance Jio alone has added 3,500 BTSs in the district, reveal data available with the government.
When Vodafone launched its service in February, it gave a demonstration of its 4G speed capabilities to the press at the ground floor of a hotel in Pune. The speed had touched a dream 140 MBPS.
Other operators, including Airtel and Idea, had also launched their 4G services in the city with much fanfare. In reality, multiple speed tests on various applications across the city show that no operator could cross the 20 MBPS mark.
"Speed depends on a number of factors and there is a need to appreciate all these. Among the factors is the radio link between a device and tower, a phone's (chip) capability and the number of subscribers on a particular network," said S N Rama Gopal, deputy director general of Telecom Enforcement Resource & Monitoring Cell (TERM), Pune.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) periodically tests the speed of various operators and publishes the results. This is, however, done under standard test conditions and leaves out various factors that play into a real-life environment.
According to a report by market intelligence provider International Data Corporation (IDC), seven out of every 10 smartphones sold between July and September period of 2016 were 4G-ready.
Cellphone makers are also moving swiftly towards manufacturing 4G-ready devices.
At a recent meeting in Pune, Vishal Malik, business head (retail) Intex Technologies Limited told ToI that the company was moving away from manufacturing 3G devices and would focus only on 4G devices in the smartphone category.
Telecom operators such as Bharti Airtel have been luring customers with lucrative discounts on data if they upgraded to a 4G-enabled device.
With the government's recent push towards digitisation of even payment services, it has become an imperative to assure the quality service.
One of the ways, said Gopal, could be addition of more BTSs to an existing BTS. All telecom operators have earmarked big money to expand capabilities on the ground. While they do not provide with area-wise break up of investments, it seems that they are yet to undertake massive network expansion to cater to the rapidly growing 4G additions.
In a recent letter to consumers (carried by most prominent newspapers), Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries (of which Jio is a part), said, "We are acutely aware that we have 'small pockets' of congestion on our network. With our investment in network expansion, you will see a 'dramatic improvement' in service quality in the coming weeks."
However, one of the most common concerns of most users is why can't the operators commit to a minimum speed?
"The issue in India is that TRAI has not mandated or defined the minimum speed for any generation of network. The service providers claim and advertise as per network capabilities. Necessary speeds or bandwidth should be maintained," said Kapil Yewale, a software engineer based out of Pune.
While telecom operators have not come forward to make any concrete assurances, sources in the industry said TRAI might soon announce (a not-too-high) minimum speed criterion that the operators will have to adhere to.

Many years ago, I worked at U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C. I was part of a small group that was responsible, in part, for reviewing special permit applications for those applicants that wanted to offer dangerous goods all or in part by vessel, but whom could not comply with the regulatory requirements for one reason or another. Actually, back then, they were referred to as Dept. of Transportation (DOT) Exemptions. We processed approximately six applications a week, and provided our comments and recommendations to the Research & Special Programs Administration (RSPA), now known as the Pipeline & Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). Our charge was fairly straightforward—would the applicant's proposal provide an equivalency of safety or not? If so, we offered our recommendation for approval. If not, we recommended that the application be denied and returned to the applicant to be reworked. It might have taken us a few hours to review each application and the applicant would receive an approval or denial from RSPA generally within thirty days or less.
Delays in Processing
Over the course of 20 years, I may have authored three hundred or more applications for permit or approval, but it seems that within the past three to four years, the application process has become increasingly more difficult and much lengthier. What would have been expected in 60 days is now taking six months or more. In fact, I just received an approval for a client who had submitted a request for special permit more than 18 month ago!
Therefore, if you are planning on obtaining a special permit or Competent Authority Approval, you are cautioned to begin the planning process early. Do not wait until the last minute to file an application and then request emergency (expedited) processing because you failed to plan properly.
Useful Tips
Here are some useful tips to help you plan more effectively:
- Read the regulatory requirements very carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the applicable provisions of the U.S. DOT's Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) and the international standards that may apply. If you intend to ship within the U.S. only, you will need a DOT Special Permit. If you intend to ship internationally as well, you will need both a DOT Special Permit and a Competent Authority Approval. There are different application requirements for each. Applicants outside the U.S. must have a U.S. Agent for the service of process. Instructions and online application web app are found on the U.S. DOT website at https://hazmatonline.phmsa.dot.gov/Online%20Approvals/pages/welcome.aspx
- Thoroughly review the U.S. DOT PHMSA website for letters of interpretation that may exist. You may find that a DOT special permit is not required because there might have been a previous ruling issued on the subject. An approval or special permit search can be made by accessing the following webpage: http://www.phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat/regs/sp-a
- Carefully review the U.S. DOT PHMSA website for other permits or approvals. You can conduct a search on one or more companies that manufacture or offer similar products. If a special permit or approval exists, you may become a party to that special permit (if it is allowed). Becoming a party to an existing special permit is a lot quicker than applying for a new permit.
- Read and be thoroughly familiar with the requirements for completing and submitting an application for permit and/or approval. You must submit all relevant information at the same time. If you fail to submit a complete application, it will generally be denied and you must start the process all over again. Pay careful attention to the requirements for information required for a corporate officer (e.g., President, CEO) and a technical contact. Be certain to include the Dun & Bradstreet (DUNS) number in the application and indicate whether or not the applicant will act as a shipper, carrier or both.
- Submit the application in writing and via e-mail. Follow-up with a phone call to ensure that your application has been received and that all of the required information was included in the application. Allow at least one week for the Office of Special Permits & Approvals to receive and process the application. Allow at least 4–6 weeks for PHMSA to begin its review of the application.
- Give careful consideration to using packaging that may already be approved or permitted. This is particularly true of aerosol manufacturers and distributors. Often aerosol manufacturers will seek a permit for a new type of container when an existing container that has already been approved may suffice. Although there might be a modest increase in unit price when selecting a different container, this might be an acceptable alternative given that the applicant may not be able to bring their product to market for six months or more.
- Do not apply for an emergency application, unless it is actually an emergency, e.g. a matter of life or health, military or national security interest, or significant economic loss. Loss of revenue because a product was not brought to market on time is not economic loss! An example of economic loss would be failure to fulfill a contractual obligation, or where a significant penalty clause might be included in the contract.

Science Europe releases Position on Research Impact Assessment
On 11 July 2017, Science Europe published its Position Statement "On a New Vision for More Meaningful Research Impact Assessment". Considering the different ways research brings value to society, Science Europe advocates using the notion "value" rather than "impact". According to the paper, "impact" does not reflect the intrinsic value of scientific research and its capacity to generate new knowledge. A broader notion of research impact, enriched by societal value, would contribute to making the impact assessment more meaningful.
The statement provides a series of key principles and actions for policy makers and research organsiations to help bring forward a new vision for impact assessment. Science Europa also aims to contribute to a better understanding of impact and its assessment, as a precondition to capture and and communicate it. The paper is to some extent a response to the report of the "High Level Group on maximising impact of EU Research and Innovation Programmes" published on 3 July 2017.
