How to Deal With Babies With Jet Lag

Jet Lag is something every parent has experienced at least once. Whether traveling by air or driving long distances, parents who travel frequently find themselves dealing with their baby’s sleep schedule being thrown off due to changes in time zones.

How to Deal With Babies With Jet Lag

Ways to Deal With Babies With Jet Lag

Here are 5 ways to cope with jet lag while still keeping your child happy and healthy during these times.

Plan Ahead

The best way to avoid the effects of jet lag on a young infant is to plan ahead for when you will be flying. If possible, try not to fly within 24 hours of bedtime. This can help keep your little one from getting too tired before they arrive at their destination. It also helps if you have an early flight so that you get some extra rest prior to arriving home.

Keep Your Baby Active

Keeping your baby active throughout the day may prevent them from feeling sleepy later on. Try taking walks around the airport terminal or shopping mall where there are lots of people moving about. You could even take turns holding your baby as you walk through the crowds.

Keep Your Baby Active

Don’t Overfeed

It might seem like a good idea to feed your baby more than usual after a trip away but this isn’t always necessary. Babies need less food when they’re sleeping longer periods of time because it takes up energy. They don’t really eat much anyway until they start eating solids. So instead of overfeeding, just make sure your baby gets enough calories each day.

Use A Sleep Aid

If all else fails, use a sleep aid to help your baby stay awake and alert. There are many different types available including melatonin supplements, herbal remedies, and prescription medications. Talk to your doctor first though since using certain drugs can affect breastfeeding mothers.

Get Some Rest Yourself!

You’ll probably feel exhausted after a long journey, especially if you’ve been travelling across multiple time zones. Make sure you get plenty of rest yourself so that you aren’t dragging around when you reach your destination. Even if you only manage half-an-hour nap, it will do wonders for helping you relax and prepare for the next leg of your journey.

Baby Jet Lag Symptoms

When children experience jet lag, they often show symptoms similar to adults. These include:

Children tend to become cranky when they miss out on naps and meals. When they wake up late, they usually want to play rather than go back to sleep.

Poor appetite

Kids typically lose interest in foods such as milk, eggs, meat, cheese, breads, cereals, fruits, vegetables, etc., which contain protein. Instead, they prefer sweet snacks and sugary drinks.

Increased crying

Infants cry more easily when they’re overtired. Their cries sound louder and last longer compared to those who slept well.

Increased crying

Difficulty falling asleep

Many babies find it difficult to fall asleep once they’ve missed several consecutive night feeds. They may also refuse to settle down unless they receive comfort care.

How Long Does Jet Lag Last in Babies

The first thing you need to know is that it’s not a disease. It’s just your body adjusting to the time change, and it can take anywhere from 24 hours to several days for your baby to adjust. The good news: Jet lag doesn’t usually cause any problems with sleep or feeding patterns.

What Causes Jet Lag?

Jet lag happens because our bodies don’t get enough rest while we travel through different time zones. When we cross more than one zone, our internal clock gets confused about where day ends and night begins. This means that even though it feels like we’ve been awake all night, we actually haven’t slept at all! Our circadian rhythms which regulate everything from sleeping habits to hormone levels — also shift out of sync with each other. As a result, we feel tired throughout the entire trip.

Weekender: Deems share secret to lifelong love

Region’s Tonga Appeal to have long-lasting impact

Megan Dean

The Bundaberg Region Tonga Appeal raised almost $40,000, helping with immediate relief and recovery and paving the wy for a project to increase future resilience.

The appeal came to a close earlier this month but not before generous donors helped to raise $38,706.55.

Local teacher and former NRL star Antonio Kaufusi, who was behind the appeal’s launch, said the funds had helped to boost morale, ease burdens and provide basic supplies.

But they’ll also have a long-lasting positive impact on the community.

“I know Api Fo'ou Catholic College is putting the funds towards their solar panel project to be able to power the school and be self-sufficient in times when the power gets shut off, so the school will be able to remain open and running,” Antonio said.

“The contributions to the village where every family, which was about 130 plus, received $100 each … will help with food, high electricity bills etc.

“Money was also spent on building materials to help with families that had damage to their homes from the volcano eruption.”

He said his family had been humbled by the region’s support.

“My parents moved us here to Bundaberg back in 1998 and since then Bundaberg has been our home,” Antonio said.

“I already know how much the people here support each other, especially those that need the help, as I have experienced that firsthand through sporting groups, church groups, schools and various other groups like the Rotary Club.

 “We as a family are very grateful for the love and support of everyone in Bundaberg.

 “Words can't express our gratitude from what the Bundaberg community has shown us with this appeal.”

 The Kaufusi family has been inundated with messages of thanks from the villagers as well as family throughout the world.

 The Tonga Appeal was made possible through the support of Bundaberg Regional Council, which donated $10,000, and Shalom College which administered the trust and donated $2000.

 Acting Mayor Bill Trevor said, in true Bundaberg Region style, the outcome had exceeded everyone’s expectations.

 “The generosity of our community never ceases to amaze me,” Acting Mayor Trevor said.

“I’m thrilled to hear that not only have these funds assisted with the community’s immediate needs but will also provide ongoing support and resilience to the community through the school’s solar panel project.

 "Reliable access to power will be invaluable to the school in future outages and the solar power will reduce the operational costs for years to come.”

Shalom principal Dan McMahon said he was pleased with the fundraising efforts.

“I expect that this will make a big difference to families who were devastated by natural disaster,” Mr McMahon said.

“Shalom was very pleased to be able to assist in this effort and it is an expression of our support for Tongan families who have contributed so positively to Bundaberg and the Shalom community.”

Star Wars a career highlight for Warren the puppeteer

Emma Turnbull

When you’re next watching Star Wars – Episode Two: Attack of The Clones keep an eye out for Quarren, played by Bundaberg school teacher Warren Duxbury.

Through a thrilling career as a puppeteer, Warren has worked with George Lucas on Star Wars.

But that's not his only claim to fame, having also rebuilt Australia’s favourite puppet Agro and working with the Henson Muppeteers.

Warren said over the years he had been part of many exciting projects and happened to be “in the right place at the right time” for his involvement in Star Wars.

“I was working at Foxtel when the call came in asking for all the puppeteers to be sent over – well I was the only one there,” Warren said.

“I was under the impression I was going to the set of Moulin Rouge, but to my surprise it was actually for Star Wars!

“Ewan McGregor was the lead for both, so the sets were set up near each.”

Warren steps into various roles on Star Wars set

Warren said originally, he was tasked as only a puppeteer on the set of Star Wars, but when the cast fell short he was asked to step into character and he played both Ketwol and Quarren.

“I played the Quarren Senator's Aide and can be clearly seen clapping after the Supreme Chancellor is given Emergency Powers in the Senate,” he said.

“I actually then got the nickname Warren the Quarren – ha!”

Warren said he was given the role as one of the background directors for Star Wars – Episode Two: Attack of The Clones.

“I was put in charge of various creatures, as were others in the department. I had to give them background direction whilst George Lucas was directing his actors,” he said.

“It was a very surreal feeling to be telling a person in costume what actions they should be doing, while George is only a metre away saying, ‘Now Ewan… I need you to jump from this yellow speeder and run through the crowd in that direction’.

Stars Wars a highlight in long puppeteer career

Warren said working on the Star Wars set had been a major highlight in his career which had come about after many years of dabbling in the art of puppetry.

He said it was serendipitous to end up in situations that entertainment buffs would be envious of.

It all started for Warren in the mid-1990s when he travelled to London to help master his skills working with Henson Muppeteers at Nickelodeon.

“I was a camera operator and on set there was always two puppets along with the human host,” Warren said.

“One day, one of the puppeteers got caught up in the London underground strike and was stuck on the tube for half the day.

“With my puppet experience I had learned how to mimic the voice and movements, so when he couldn’t turn up for the show, I stepped in. I did it all and the guys upstairs didn’t even know.

“I’ve been pretty lucky to stumble into these situations by being at the right place at the right time!”

Nowadays, Warren has switched up most of his puppeteer work to enjoy a simpler life in the local region as a teacher at Bundaberg State High School.

“Star Wars is definitely a highlight for me, and I got to the stage when I didn’t know how I would top that in my career, so I went on to study film and media and became a teacher,” he said.

“There’s no better place than Bargara.

“I love teaching, a lot of my students go off and work the industry and that makes it easy to love doing what I do.”

Warren still lends a hand to help Agro

Although Warren may now seem far, far away from the studio sets in Sydney, he is never out of reach to help his good friend Jamie Dunn and the loveable “bathmat” Agro.

In 2001 Channel Seven Productions enlisted Warren’s puppeteer and puppet builder skills to rebuild Agro, because the original puppet had deteriorated beyond repair.

“I was asked to refurbish Agro by the producer, and the moment she pulled him out of the bag I could see he was really starting to disintegrate,” Warren said.

“He was already about 20 years old and had lived a life of dog mauling to having yoghurt tipped over him – he was battered.

“Because I knew the Hensen stitch technique I was able to not only repair him but make a replicate – which actually lives with me at my home, ready for Jamie to swap over in short notice or when they are here visiting.”

Don’t travel far, far away to celebrate Star Wars Day

Emma Turnbull

Warren will take his passion for Star Wars to the community when the region celebrates annual Star Wars Day at Bargara.

Each year May the 4th is the informal commemorative Star Wars Day to celebrate the franchise.

This year the local event will take place on Saturday 7 May and be held at the Bargara Cultural Centre, Bargara.

Warren Duxbury is putting his expertise forward as organiser of Skyforce Queensland’s Star Walking Inc. Wide Bay Star Wars Day.

He said the Bundaberg Region was home to some of the most devoted Star Wars fans and it was fantastic to know they were able to be involved in events like those held in larger cities.

“We previously held a Star Wars weekend at Hinkler Central and the promo team there said that it was the most people that the centre has ever had on site at the one time,” he said.

“So, it’s clear that Bundy has a huge number of fans.”

He said SkyForce Queensland was part of Star Walking Inc, which is the longest running Star Wars fan club in the world.

“The family fun event, which includes trivia and cosplay competitions, prop and costume displays, an auction, merch vendors and heaps more,” Warren said.

Star Walking Inc, based in Melbourne, are the longest running Star Wars fan club in the world and they want to bring some family fun to Bargara.

“The events have been held on The Sunshine Coast and Brisbane in the past, but this is the first of many planned future events for regional centres.”

Warren said there would be an opportunity to learn more about the pop culture and all things Star Wars at the event.

“People can join the club on the day but it’s not about recruitment, it’s about bringing this sort of fan event to regional areas that usually miss out on these types of pop culture experiences,” he said.

“We have some costumed characters appearing on the day for photo ops along with a special video message from a Star Wars actor based in the United States.

“The day’s schedule has been designed to include Star Wars fans of all ages and is very family focused.”

Star Wars Day will be held from 10 am on Saturday 7 May at Bargara Cultural Centre on Hughes Road Bargara.

Tickets are available now from Trybooking.com and can also be purchased at the door.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for Star Walking Inc. members and kids under 12. Due to limited capacity, online purchases are recommended.

Local the focus at Blessed Café in Moore Park

Ashley Schipper

Using local produce and product in every which way we she can is a main focus for Jennifer Mutich at her new café in Moore Park Beach.

The first-time business owner has just opened Blessed Café at 63 Sylvan Drive and said she was committed to supporting other Bundaberg Region businesses as much as possible.

“I have incorporated a lot of other local businesses within my business,” she said.

“I am trying to get as much local product in store, like local honey, cheese and more.

“We also have plenty of different products and items on display, all made locally, so people can come eat and shop at the same time.

“We try to keep it all as local as possible. I think we all need to support each other, that's the bottom line!”

A former nurse, Jennifer said she had never owned her own business before but was excited to see what the change in career had in store.

She said after seeing the empty space on her routine drives around the beachside suburb, she knew she could make something of the building on Sylvan Drive.

“I live out here at Moore Park Beach and I kept driving past the building and saw it was empty, so I decided to open my own café,” she said.

“I was a nurse prior to this and I was looking for a lifestyle change, and with everything else going on at the moment it seemed like a great thing to do.

“I don't have a background in the industry but my mum was a chef, which has helped, she has given me guidance.”

Jennifer said Blessed Café had hired four employees and was already enjoying plenty of support from locals and visitors alike.

“We have been open for one week and we are seeing plenty of new faces,” she said.

“We cater for breakfast and lunch seven days a week.

“So far, the most popular dish has been the eggs benedict, you just can't go past the sauce!”

Blessed Café is open every day from 6.30 am to 3 pm at 63 Sylvan Drive.

Lake Ellen a place of fun for Steindl family

Ashley Schipper

One of the Steindl family's favourite places to visit on a weekend is Lake Ellen Heritage Hub Park and Playground, a spot they say allows their children to enjoy a range of activities.

The family has captured their enjoyment at the popular spot for a recent Bundaberg Regional Council photo competition as part of the consultation process for the development of a concept plan to guide the future development of the area.

Mum Rhianna said she submitted a photo of her children enjoying their breakfast at the park from a recent visit and was thrilled to find out she had won first prize.

“We go to Lake Ellen a fair bit but this was the first time we have taken breakfast with us and it was wonderful,” she said.

“Even in its current form Lake Ellen Heritage Hub Park and Playground is a good facility for families, with great open spaces, a playground and a bit of everything and it beats having the kids sit in front of the TV!”

Rhianna said the moment caught on camera was similar to many that her family had enjoyed over the years at Lake Ellen Heritage Hub Park and Playground.

“One of my recent favourite family memories from this park is getting up early on a Sunday morning and riding our bikes to the playground where we then cooked up a barbecue breakfast,” she said.

“The kids then proceeded to serve me numerous ‘drinks' consisting of woodchips from the Sugar Country General Store.

“The currency – leaves they found on the ground around the structure.”

As part of her competition prize, Rhianna won a family pass to Hinkler Hall of Aviation and a double pass to a show at the Moncrieff Entertainment Centre during its current season.

She said it would be something they would all be able to enjoy.

“We will definitely be taking the kids to the Hinkler Hall of Aviation and my husband and I will put the Moncrieff tickets to good use,” she said.

Lake Ellen Heritage Hub Park and Playground competition highlights popular area

Opportunities for the revitalisation of Lake Ellen Heritage Hub Park and Playground are currently being considered.

Bundaberg Regional Council identified the popular recreational spot for future upgrade and development as part of the Parks and Open Space Strategy 2019-2026.

Community feedback via a survey and consultation was sought to assist Council in developing a design plan to further enhance the area.

As part of the consultation, a photo competition was launched to celebrate the current space and preserve its history.

Parks and Gardens portfolio spokesperson Cr Wayne Honor congratulated the Steindl family on their win.

“What a fantastic photo of three local children clearly enjoying some delicious breakfast at one of their favourite places!” he said.

“It is lovely to see local families getting out and about enjoying Council facilities and spending time in the great outdoors.

“The Lake Ellen Heritage Hub Park and Playground upgrade is sure to enhance the area even further, providing and even more amazing space for the community to visit.”

Faye releases memoir Dancing with Shadows

Emma Turnbull

Bargara resident Faye Perry has penned a collection of heart-warming stories in her first memoir Dancing with Shadows.

Dancing with Shadows shares stories of adventure and travel, relationships and joy, pain and triumph of 20 individuals.

Faye said the memoirs would leave the reader entertained, moved and inspired, featuring stories of local identities, including Felise Kaufusi and Suellen Cusack-Greensill, along with other inspirational individuals from around Australia.

“Written with tenderness and warmth, Dancing with Shadows is a melting pot of intimate and inspiring personal narratives of 20 diverse people,” Faye said.

“Reading the stories is like looking through a window into their lives, hearts and characters, to reveal their experiences of life lived.”

Faye's interest in people sparks Dancing with Shadows

With a career as a clinical psychotherapist, Faye has always been interested in people’s stories and after retiring writing them came with ease.

“In writing the stories, I felt like Anh Do, drawing people out through my interviews, and painting their story with words,” she said.

“The stories have become like my adopted children – I love them all and through them have vicariously sampled their lives. I learned something from every story.”

Faye said for Dancing with Shadows she chose people who had an interesting story, or they had overcome difficulties through their life.

Inspired to start writing after a visit from a friend, Faye said she wanted a mix of life experiences and locations.

“I was a clinical psychotherapist and therefore have a good understanding of human nature,” she said.

“I am formerly from the Adelaide Hills, and now enjoy the sunny beach environment of Bargara. I have always had an interest in writing stories.

“I left work in 2020, just as Covid hit.

“A friend who had been adopted visited after her adoptive mother died. She told me her story, which was a story of difficulty, growth and transformation.

“That afternoon, my husband and I were on the tilt train to Cairns. Due to Covid restrictions, we had to sit on opposite sides of the carriage.

“During those hours of travel, I penned my friend’s story. Even though I didn’t use that narrative in the book, it started me on the journey of writing Dancing with Shadows.”

The official launch of Dancing with Shadows will take place at The Beach Mill, 2 Fred Courtice Avenue at Nielson Park, Bargara, on Saturday 7 May at 8.30 am.

Dancing with Shadows is also available on Amazon, or by emailing Faye at fayeperry@ozemail.com.au to purchase a copy.

Podcast: Cemeteries a window to the past

Adele Bennett

Cemeteries provide a unique window into the history of a place and its people, evoking emotion and reflection.

While there are often legends surrounding the location and sometimes the deceased, the truth can be far more fascinating than fiction.

As a member of Friends of South Isis Cemetery Doreen Cole has dedicated her time and effort to ensuring the stories of this historic cemetery are not forgotten.

“I used to come down here as a small child to visit my grandfather’s grave,” Doreen said.

“There are babies buried at the back of the cemetery and Cole babies and other names I have forgotten.

“Lots and lots of babies died in those early days, there was nothing you could do about it, you just buried them.”

Our local cemeteries have a diverse history, including the Bundaberg General cemetery’s relocation from the CBD which Council's regional supervisor of cemeteries Nick Burfield said resulted in the loss of six years of cemetery records from 1873.

“Where it was (originally) located there were a few different churches on all the corners, where the deceased were transferred with horse and cart back in the day, it was just a lot easier,” Nick said.

“The only thing we have opposed to the other ones is we have a section especially set aside for the war graves for the Office of Australian War Graves.

“So we have that and a special section in the general area for the return services.

“I just think the respect we show the service personnel here is perfect.”

Book review

In Our Garage: Max Scholefield’s 1954 Australian Mainline Ute

Paul Donaldson

Making his living on the land Max Scholefield always dreamed of owning a Mainline ute and after years of hard work it’s now become a reality.

Q. Tell us about your car:

A. This is a 1954 Ford Australian manufactured V8 utility.

It is the very last of the side valve V8 engines made by Henry Ford from 1932 to 1954.

It was very, very sought after by farmers and people that did rural pursuits in those years.

If you wanted a heavy-duty workhorse then this was the thing that you bought.

They were well made for their day.

One bloke had two Mainline Utes and had little crates in the back and put his calves in there, so all the back was knocked around with calves’ hooves.

They were beautifully appointed inside, which was unusual in a work vehicle, and they drove along the road very nicely, so people really loved them for that reason.

Q. Tell us about the car’s history:

A. This particular car was owned by a Jim Murphy, I think, in western New South Wales.

He became ill and they parked the car in a shed with the back sticking out and it remained there for about 35 years.

One of the local scrap merchants said, ‘look, I can take that thing off your hands for $20’ and he then advertised it for $2000.

I needed a project and he said it was a good straight car, so down I went with a trailer and picked it up.

Q. What condition was the car in when you got it?

A. It didn't have a skerrick of paint left on it, you could see that it was green, every part was there, but the rust had formed a film all over the car.

There was a lot of green mould or something growing over the top of the car, which had to be removed, but the car was pretty sound.

It took an awful lot of rubbing down and scrubbing down and I had a sandblaster come in and he sandblasted the car.

We primed it using one of the newer model two pack type primers, and we put the car in an open shed and it sat there for probably 10 years in the prime stage.

I'd say, ‘I'm going to do it up one day’.

The one day came and I pulled it down into a little tin shed and started work on it.

For three years, I scrubbed and bashed and pushed and painted it.

But in that period, the engine had locked up, and it is the original side valve motor.

It has been done up by Dolby engine reconditioning and me, but it runs absolutely perfectly.

It's quite a big motor and they did overheat a bit, but a lot of people got away from that by putting bigger bladed fans on and things like that.

Q. What do you love about the car and what made you want to buy it?

A. I think the reason I would have bought this is because being a farmer all my life, I've known many farmers that have owned these.

All the big boys had these things, and I really wanted one.

Eventually, late in life, I was able to find one and get it on the road, so I was up there with the big boys.

I think it's the joy of actually getting out on the road and seeing people respond, that is absolutely magic.

Everyone smiles, everyone waves.

It's just a marvellous thing to go on the road in a restored veteran, vintage or classic car.

Another really good thing about driving a classic, vintage, veteran car is the fact that there's a lot of camaraderie between people in clubs.

It's really great to be with people that know what you're talking about.

Rugby league legends to touch down in Bundaberg

Georgia Neville

The upcoming Queensland Rugby League Regional Roadshow will see local junior rugby league stars mix with Queensland legends Sam Thaiday and Meg Ward to improve their football skills.

Visiting Bundaberg on Tuesday 3 May, there will be both a football clinic for juniors, as well as a fundraising dinner for Bundaberg Rugby League.

Queensland Rugby League Wide Bay Area Manager Bryce Holdsworth said the roadshow was a great opportunity for players in regional towns to learn new skills and meet origin greats.

“These roadshow’s provide young players the opportunity to meet current and former Queensland origin players, while also giving them the chance to learn new skills and have some fun,” Bryce said.

“At the clinic, juniors will be able to get photos and autographs while enjoying a free clinic hosted by the NRL Game Development team and the Bundaberg Junior Rugby League.”

The QRL encourages anyone to attend the clinic, with no prior football experience required.

“Any child between the ages of six to 12 years old, both male and female, are encouraged to register to attend the clinic,” he said.

“They do not need to be registered with a club but this is a great opportunity for them to learn some skills, play some small sided non – contact games and see if they would like to give rugby league a go and sign up for one of the local clubs for the upcoming season.”

The roadshow concludes with a fundraising dinner held at Brothers Sports Club, with funds raised going back into Bundaberg Rugby League.

Tickets for the event are $125 each, which includes a two course meal and some drinks.

“The dinner is being held at Brothers Sports Club and kicks off at 6.30 pm with all funds raised through the live auction on the night going back to Bundaberg Rugby League,” he said.

“It would be great to see the Bundaberg community get behind and support this event, as we have a great sporting community and it is always a privilege for the area to get these kinds of events.”

Bundaberg Rugby League Chairman Mike Ireland said the roadshow featuring ruby league legends would provide much needed support for the Bundaberg Rugby League.

“The upcoming roadshow is very important to Bundaberg and both Bundaberg Rugby League seniors and juniors,” Mike said.

“The leagues are like all sporting organisations, we rely on sponsorships as well as fundraising events like this to help with the enormous cost of running our game.

“Although we do have a lot of volunteers through both groups, operation costs are always on the up and any funds donated are much appreciated.

“To have Queensland players give up there time to help out with the up and coming kids, both male and female, can only help to encourage more to take up our sport.”

There will be plenty of great stories told on the night, and guests will have the opportunity to bid for some outstanding sporting memorabilia.

QRL Chief Executive Officer Rohan Sawyer said it was a terrific opportunity for the community to rub shoulders with two rugby league icons.

“Both Sam and Meg have mixed it with the very best of them on the rugby league field,” Mr Sawyer said.

“It really is shaping up to be a terrific evening, and one that will raise some important funds for community rugby league.”

Mr Sawyer also thanked Auswide Bank for their support of the initiative.

“Our regional and outback communities form part of the fabric of rugby league here in
Queensland,” Sawyer said.

“We’re extremely fortunate to have a major partner like Auswide Bank who also have a strong and meaningful connection to communities in regional Queensland.”

You can purchase tickets for the event here.

Shannon Puopolo, 37

Henderson Franklin Starnes & Holt P.A., business litigation partner
by: Mark Gordon Managing Editor

A middle school field trip to Tallahassee left a big impression on Shannon Puopolo. Not necessarily the elected officials but in learning about all the attorneys who worked behind the scenes to get things done. “I just thought it was really interesting,” Puopolo recalls. “I thought that would be neat.”

Shannon Puopolo has been an attorney with Henderson Franklin since 2009. Her officemate is their daughter, 14-month-old Audrey Stokke.

She followed through on that career path and is now a business litigation partner with Fort Myers-based Henderson Franklin Starnes & Holt P.A. In that role Puopolo focuses her practice on complex business litigation, including real estate and creditor’s rights in bankruptcy and state court proceedings. She represents companies, financial institutions and individuals in bankruptcy and foreclosure proceedings, alternative finance transactions and related work.

Puopolo joined the firm in 2009, after she worked there as a summer intern. That was a period when the firm, like many others in the region, handled a slew of real estate foreclosures and bankruptcy cases, courtesy of the recession. That could be happening again, particularly after a state moratorium is lifted on mortgage foreclosures. After that, Puopolo says, “I think there will be a tidal wave of new foreclosure and bankruptcy cases.”

While Puopolo readies herself for that challenge, she also puts a good amount of effort into her leadership role at Henderson Franklin, one of the biggest firms in the region. One area for that is in hiring: She’s the chairwoman of the hiring committee. The first woman in that seat, Puopolo says the role lets her mentor younger attorneys and also keeps the firm focused on diversity in its hiring practices.

Outside the firm, Puopolo is on the inaugural board of the Lee County Bar Association Foundation and for the past five years has chaired the Lee County Bar Association’s Annual Charity Golf Tournament, raising more than $100,000 to fund grants to local charities. She’s done other volunteer work, through the Bar Association and other groups, always with a go-getter and enthusiastic spirit, some of her colleagues say.

That spirit carries over to her work too, says Puopolo, who traces her fiery drive to being an athlete in high school and college, where she ran cross country and track and field. She remains a competitive athlete today, running in half-marathons, marathons and triathlons, a determination that motivates her at work, too. “I’m a very competitive person,” she says. “I want to out-prepare my opponent. I really love to win.”

What community group or organization are you most involved with?

Lee County Bar Association Foundation

What's the weirdest job you've ever had?

During high school, I worked at Claire's, which is a jewelry and accessories store. Part of my duties included piercing children's ears. As you can imagine, the second ear was always more difficult to pierce, once they knew what to expect.

What's your top tip for being productive?

Each morning, I make a to-do list of tasks that I need to complete, and I don't leave my office until all of the tasks are completed. I like to tackle the most difficult assignment first, so I don't have it weighing over me later in the day.

If you could have a side hustle, what would it be?

I always dreamed of being a park ranger in a national park.

What's your favorite off-hours activity?

I love long-distance running. Now that I have a daughter, I enjoy taking her for runs in her jogging stroller.

What's your favorite board game, game show or video game?

I enjoy Singstar, which is a karaoke game.

What’s your go-to delivery service? (DoorDash, Uber Eats, GrubHub, Bite Squad, etc.)

Uber Eats

What do you use most — Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams or Google Meetings?

What’s the best binge-worthy show you have enjoyed during the pandemic?

"90 Day Fiance" on TLC

What’s the longest virtual meeting you’ve been on since mid-March?

Five hours

How many times had you used video for a work meeting prior to the pandemic?

I would use Skype occasionally to conduct interviews because I'm the hiring chair for the firm, but not nearly has much as I use it now.

What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned during the pandemic?

You have to be willing to adapt to unexpected turns in life. In my profession, we had to adjust to working from home and learning how to conduct depositions, mediations and even trials via Zoom. I quickly realized I would be doing my clients a disservice if I resisted this new way of practicing law. Instead, I've tried to embrace it by taking courses on virtual platforms and fully utilizing the available technology to better advocate for my clients.

What do you miss most about the world pre-pandemic?

I miss traveling. I look forward to planning trips almost as much as I enjoying taking them, and it's tough not knowing when it will be safe to travel again.

What have you been spending more time doing during the pandemic?

The silver lining of the pandemic is that I've been able to spend more time with my family. Instead of commuting to and from work, I spend the morning and evenings going on walks with my family or playing games with my daughter. I got to watch her take her first steps and say her first word, and I am grateful I was able to experience those milestones.

Do you prefer working from home or working from an office?

Home. I've actually been more productive and have fewer distractions.

How have you kept up camaraderie with colleagues during the pandemic?

We schedule periodic calls or Zoom meetings to catch up with one another. We even did a virtual pizza party a couple weeks ago, where we had pizza delivered to our houses at the same time and conducted a Zoom meeting while eating pizza. We try to keep it creative.

What’s the first thing you’ll do after the pandemic?

Go out to a nice dinner with a group of friends.

Carpet and Upholstery Care Supplies in BC, AB, MB | Sanitary Supplies

Commercial cleaning can be quite tricky, especially when it comes to wide carpeted areas in office spaces, schools and other large institutions.

Carpets and upholstery are some of the places that receive the most wear and tear through daily usage from high volumes of foot traffic. As a janitorial service provider, you need to provide performance-based commercial office cleaning solutions that make your job easier and keep your clients happy.

From deodorizers to spot cleaners to solvent-based cleaners, Busy-Bee has a wide range of carpet and upholstery care supplies, and commercial cleaning supplies in BC to help you fight the toughest stains and spots.

Preventive Measures and Maintenance

The best cleaning is preventative and consistent. Stains and accidents happen but wear and tear and microscopic dangers like dust are a constant threat to your client’s furniture lifespan too. Vacuuming the upholstery and carpets are important. Make sure to accommodate to the item you are cleaning though; using an upholstery attachment, the handheld part of a larger vacuum, or the brush and crevice tools to get under cushions, in nooks and crannies, and delicately clean.

Especially with couches or certain chairs, it’s important to remove the seat cushion and just like you would do with a pillow fluff it and beat it a bit. This helps to prevent dust from settling into the fibres. It’s also recommended to rotate cushions and/or flip them if you can, to ensure even wear and that won’t become too indented. The best thing you can do make sure to use products to help protect against future accidents. Products like the Scotch Guard Carpet Protector limits reappearing spots and helps repel future spills.

Use Top-Quality Cleaning Products to Combat Stains

Eventually, something will happen and a client might end up with a glaring stain from spilled wine, food, coffee, the list goes on. We know how important it is to make sure to provide the best quality work and care to a clients’ space so that’s why here at Busy Bee we provide a variety of top quality products to help you get out any set-in stain and help protect against it in the future. Products such as Odor-Out Carpet Deodorizer, Whizgroom Carpet Brush and Orang-A-Tang Multi Solvent which gets at oil and grease stains with ease.

Many upholstery manufacturers include a care label, this tells you what different products could be used on it to minimize the risk of a harsh chemical being used and ruining it. W stands for water-based cleaners, S for solvents, WS tells you both can be an option, and an X lets you know that none of the above could be used; for an item with an X, vacuuming is probably your best option. Keep in mind grease or oil-based stains are best treated with dry solvents.

Make sure not to soak your cloth when applying a cleaning solution, this could potentially spread the stain and saturate the fabric. Which would cause a risk of mould, mildew, and bacteria being attracted to the spot and growing there? Be patient with the drying process too, using heat to speed it up can just set the stain permanently. It might seem tedious but this will give you the best outcome and makes sure your customers’ furniture or carpeting will last a long time and they will be satisfied with your work.

Not Sure Which Cleaning Solutions to Use?

A good idea is to test out the product on a hidden or unnoticeable part of the upholstery to make sure it won’t have any adverse effects. Take some of the cleaning solution on a clean white cloth and hold it against the spot for around about 30 seconds, this will be enough time to let you see if any colour transfers, fading the spot. Reds and blues are at the highest risk of this.

We would also highly recommend staying away from using a washing machine as well. It’s best to recommend against that for your customers because no matter how tempting it might be for them to toss it in and let a machine quickly solve the problem; even using it on a delicate or a light setting with cold water runs the risk of shrinkage, malformed contorted cushions, or the colour lightening or running. This will just make more work for you specifically down the line and make your customers even more frustrated.

Tackle Tough Carpet and Upholstery Stains With Busy-Bee

Hopefully with this now cleaning an unknown spill on your client’s couch or rug can seem a little less daunting. Employing the right techniques is as important as using the right tools and products. Busy-Bee Sanitary Supplies strives to provide you with a full range of products for all situations with great quality to make sure there is never a tough spot you can’t get out of.

    This "Game Of Thrones" Theory Is Probably The Most Important One

    Spoilers if you're behind on the show.

    In Episode 3, Season 6 of Game of Thrones, one of the first things Melisandre says to the new(re)born Jon Snow is that he is probably the prince that was promised.

    She had previously believed Stannis was ~the one~, which was one of the reasons she was so disillusioned by his failure at the end of last season.

    If you're a show-only fan, it may be easy to miss the significance of this plotline: Many book fans believe the "prince that was promised" is going to be the central figure by the end of the series.

    Basically, Azor Ahai is a mythical figure in Melisandre's religion. He's said to be a great hero who fought against the darkness with a flaming sword called Lightbringer, which he forged by piercing the heart of his true love, Nissa Nissa.

    The prophesied signs of the prince that was promised include:

    * They are the blood of the dragon (and some believe, more specifically, a descendant of Aerys II and Rhaella Targaryen).

    * Born amidst smoke and salt.

    * Born beneath a bleeding star.

    * Will wake dragons out of stone.

    * Will draw Lightbringer from the flames.

    * Will possibly have to make a sacrifice.

    Now, there is an Azor Ahai theory about pretty much every character in the series, but the two strongest candidates are by far Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen.

    Let's look at the evidence, shall we?

    Blood of the dragon:

    Born amidst smoke and salt:

    Born beneath a bleeding star:

    Will wake dragons out of stone:

    Draw Lightbringer from the flames:

    Make a sacrifice:

    So there you have it: There's strong evidence that both Dany and Jon are the prince that was promised – although the evidence so far seems to weigh more in Dany's favour.

In a previous column, we talked about the four types of COVID-19 vaccines and how they work (“No one is safe unless everyone is safe,” BusinessWorld, Feb. 24, 2021). In today’s column, we will discuss how vaccine manufacturers and regulatory agencies work together to make these all-important vaccines safe and effective.

Patient safety is central to the research and development of every vaccine. Vaccine makers must follow very strict scientific and health authority processes to bring a new vaccine to the public, even during the current pandemic. With vaccine development moving so quickly, it is understandable why some people are asking whether a vaccine for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) will be safe and effective.

Like all vaccines, the COVID-19 vaccines go through many stages of approval, including exploratory “proof of concept” stage, pre-clinical stage, clinical development (which include human clinical trial phases 1 to 3), health authority review, authorization or approval, and finally, manufacturing and quality control.

COVID-19 vaccines are only authorized or approved for use with the general public after a rigorous process. Clinical trials thoroughly test candidate vaccines on tens of thousands of people. An independent group of experts work with health authorities to carefully review all the scientific and clinical trial data results. They will only authorize said vaccine for use with the general public if the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh the known and possible risks of getting a COVID-19 infection.

Clinical trials also help find adverse events that may happen shortly after getting a vaccine. The health authorities also check for very rare side effects, or side-effects that may become apparent only after long-term use. This is why researchers and health authorities will continually monitor that use to check that no safety concerns surface and the vaccines continue to work well in different groups of people over time.

Health authorities review all the scientific and clinical trial data and decide if the vaccines can be authorized or approved for use in their region or countries. They review all the preclinical, clinical, and manufacturing process data, including the safety and efficacy (i.e., how well it works) data. These health authorities include regional regulatory authorities like the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in the European Union, and national regulatory authorities such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US and the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) in Japan. In the Philippines, scientific and clinical data are reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration and expert panels convened by the government.

COVID-19 vaccines follow international standards for vaccine development and approval. Like all new medicines or treatments, vaccines must pass a thorough set of tests that show their quality, safety, and efficacy in tens of thousands of volunteers before being approved or authorized by independent, scientific experts who work for health authorities.

Due to the public health emergency, the authorization and manufacturing of COVID-19 vaccines have been quicker than with previous vaccines. There has been a unique level of preparation and collaboration among researchers, vaccine makers, governments, and health authorities, as well as unprecedented funding for vaccine development and manufacturing. These partnerships accelerated the safe and effective development and authorization of COVID-19 vaccines, without compromising on any of the safety or authorization processes.

There were other factors as well that shortened the development timeline. Vaccine makers carried out clinical trials and making vaccines in parallel instead of doing one after the other. This avoided long wait times between trials. Given the high spread of the virus, it has been easier to have clinical trial volunteers and easier to test the efficacy of vaccines. Vaccine makers gave health authorities access to the clinical trial results throughout the process (“a rolling review”), rather than waiting until the end, to help them carry out ongoing reviews of results. Even before final authorization, vaccine makers started manufacturing preparations to shorten the time it would take to distribute vaccines.

Vaccine makers have worked around the clock to update facilities and hire and train more staff to make the huge number of vaccines needed. Suppliers making vials, syringes, and stoppers are working overtime and in close partnership with the vaccine makers. Health authorities set up dedicated task forces made up of independent experts and rapid review processes to evaluate high-quality applications from vaccine makers. This allows the shortest possible timeframes while ensuring robust scientific opinions.

Teodoro B. Padilla is the executive director of the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Association of the Philippines (PHAP). PHAP and its member companies represent the research-based pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. For more information about vaccine development, please go to #TeamVaccines

How Much for Roof Replacement in Calgary in 2022?

Summer is here! After the winter months, many now wish to get their roofs replaced from damages they have accrued.

However, some Calgarians are wondering about the damage to their wallet regarding the cost of roof replacement. With the shifting economy, it can be hard to discern what prices would be now and why.

Learn how much roof replacement in Calgary costs in 2022, so you can budget accordingly!

Missing shingles on roof due to storm damage.

Why Get a Roof Replacement?

In Calgary, people have various reasons for considering a roof replacement. A common justification for roof replacement stems from your roof becoming damaged. For example, damaged shingles from a storm can bring a host of issues into your home by allowing moisture to get in, leading to rot and mold.

 In which case, this can be indicative of your home’s age since shingles need to be replaced every 12-20 years on average. When you get your roof replaced, you can also expect to increase your home’s value – which can prove to be a worthwhile investment while keeping your home safe from damages.

What Does Roof Replacement Involve?

Roofers working on roof replacement typically start the job by stripping away old shingles from the roof until it exposes the deck. The deck is the wooden boards that compose the framing of your roof, where your shingles and other roofing parts are installed.

From there, an underlayment or felt paper is applied to the deck to help protect it. Notably, it’s supposed to keep water and other elements from seeping in. Afterwards, new shingles are installed on top of the underlayment or felt paper, leaving you with a new roof.

What’s the Cost of Roof Replacement Now?

On average, you can expect to pay an average of $4,707 and $10,460 in 2022 for roofing replacement in Calgary. That’s approximately $400 to $550 per square. However, this range exists because other factors contribute to how much of the overall cost of your roof replacement, such as:

Your Roof’s Age

Throughout the years, roofs are naturally prone to wear and tear from various weather conditions. These can leave a nasty impact on your roof, which might require a complete tear down in order to replace. Based on the required equipment and complexity of the job, it can be rather costly.

Your Roof’s Size

This factor is rather self-explanatory. When you’re working with a big roof, it takes a lot of time and effort for a roof replacement. Smaller roots will be a lot less expensive comparatively. In essence, you can best assume that the bigger your roof, the more you can expect to pay to replace it.

The Pitch Length

A roof’s pitch is the vertical slope up against its horizontal structure. Knowing its length is important since it determines the type of material suitable for your roof.

Roofing Materials Used

The materials you use to replace your roof affect the overall cost—for example, the cost of asphalt and metal. On average, a 2,000 sqft. asphalt roof costs from $3,600 to $10,800 , while a metal roof costs between $8,000 to $24,000.

City Roofing & Exteriors consistently takes pride in serving Calgarians. At City Roofing, we understand the importance of customer satisfaction. We put safety, quality work and on time delivery as our top priority. We work hard to assist our customers in providing proper roofing systems to meet their budget and needs. We offer completed roofing services in Calgary and area on both residential and commercial projects. We guarantee that you will be satisfied with our work and recommend City Roofing as your roofing consultant and contractor. Give us a call at 403-608-9933 or send an email to [email protected]

Diploma in History of Female Islamic Scholarship

Program Overview

Muslim women scholars are part of our history. And by looking at that history, we can bring Muslim society closer to what it once was Dr Mohammed Akram Nadwi

This is no ordinary discovery. It is set to rewrite the history of Muslims and humankind for ever. Never in the history of the world did the women experience such empowerment, freedom, dignity and respect as was in the Islamic history. However this part of the history of Muslims has been long forgotten and largely unexplored. But not any more. Dr Mohammed Akram Nadwi has uncovered a large body of evidence to show that for a greater part of the Islamic history Muslim women were an integral part of Islamic scholarship and were deeply involved in the formation of the Sharia'h from the time of Prophet Muhammad until as recently as 200 years ago. Women were respected as scholars, jurists and teachers in addition to their dignity as mothers, wives and daughters. Many were successful entrepreneurs too. His ground-breaking research spanning over 15 years has so far uncovered biographies of over 10000 female scholars dating back to the time of the Prophet. These women-scholars wielded positive influence upon the general public, the ruling class and the male scholars of their time. Many were the teachers and mentors of the famous male scholars whose names we hear about so often today. Unfortunately not many people (including Muslims) know about this. Now this your opportunity to discover this yourself with a historic and rare 6 month Diploma programme (6 days of lectures spanning over 6 months) with Dr Mohammed Akram Nadwi himself. In addition to the historic accounts, the seminar will focus on bringing back this lost tradition back to life. The Role of Muslim Women in the Society is one of the most misunderstood concepts of Islam among the Muslims themselves let alone non-Muslims. So many over-cautious non-Islamic practices have been integrated in to various Muslim cultures so much so that many Muslims think that those practices are part of the religion. Unfortunately this is very rampant when it concerns women as the Muslims have lost touch with their own rich and empowering traditions.

Our traditions have grown weak, and when people are weak, they grow cautious. When they’re cautious, they don’t give their women freedoms. De Mohammed Akram Nadwi God has given girls qualities and potential. If they aren’t allowed to develop them, if they aren’t provided with opportunities to study and learn, it’s basically a live burial. Dr Mohammed Akram Nadwi

My experience was awful. I have advised you that my flight was canceled and you didn’t contact to advise them that I’ll be arriving the next day. To my surprise I had to pay € 30,00 additional because they didn’t have any car available according to my reservation, of course they had refused to up grade me.

I reserved a car similar to a Ford Focus which said it fit 5 people and 4 suitcases. I was given an SUV that could only hold 3 suitcases. I don't understand how an SUV is considered a compact car. I also don't know why I received a huge car with no trunk space. I needed a small car with a normal trunk. I tried to talk to the people behind the counter but they insisted they had nothing else unless I wanted to pay more. I had to alter all of my plans since I had luggage in plain sight. They should really do a better job explaining the car you will receive since what I got was nothing like a Ford Focus!

How to Start a Carwash: Designing a logo

Create a solid brand identity with a visual representation of your business.

“Your logo is a visual representation of everything your company stands for,” according to Entrepreneur. Customers think of their experiences with your business whenever they see your logo or even your colors. Logos can remind patrons of positive visits they’ve had to your wash, or any other dealings they’ve had with the business.

Click Here to Read More

The article presents three types of logos: font-based, abstract graphic symbols and ones that literally illustrate what a company does, like a painting company logo with a brush in it.

Begin the process

To get started, the article recommends looking at the logos of competitors. Determine if they use flashy graphics or more muted images and colors. Entrepreneurs should also focus on the message: What you are trying to communicate about your business?

At the beginning stages keep in mind that your business name will affect the logo design, notes the article. Don’t use clip art and avoid trendy looks to make your business unique and stand the test of time. If you want to change your logo up, make small adjustments gradually over time.

Be realistic and get help

Colors can be eye-catching, but keep in mind the cost as well, states the article. A five-color logo costs more to print on stationary and other marketing pieces, and it won’t show up in media that allow only one or two colors. “Try not to exceed three colors unless you decide it's absolutely necessary,” says the article.

While carwash owners should brainstorm to get a better idea of the business’ image, shares the article, hiring a professional graphic designer is essential. Firms can charge anywhere from $4,000-$15,000, but plenty of lower-cost, freelance designers are out there as well.

A good logo should last at least 10 years, notes the article, and the price will be well worth it.

After you’ve obtained the perfect logo, make sure you protect it, encourages the article. Apply for a trademark at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office website.

Once protected, use the logo everywhere you can to promote your company’s visibility and elevate your image to increase business, reports the article.
