About Shockwave Therapy

Extra Corporeal Shockwave Therapy is a Cutting Edge Technology

Our treatments use shockwaves to treat chronic conditions around the body.  The shockwave aspect is an intense and powerful short energy wave that is pulsed into the effected area.  The extra corporeal aspect means that it is all outside of the body and therefore non-invasive.

The big benefit is that shockwave therapy is effective in treating musculo-skeletal conditions that have not responded to other forms of treatment whereby surgery appears to be the last resort.

How Does Shockwave Work?

The basis of shockwave therapy has been in place for a long time and is the same principle using acoustic shockwaves to breakdown kidney stones.  This technology was discovered some 25 years ago, and subsequently 1000’s of people have safely received effective treatment.

Shockwave Therapy works in two ways to promote better healing; firstly the micro trauma of the repeated shockwave to the area stimulates new blood flow.  It is this new bloodflow that further stimulates tissue healing.  Secondly, in chronic conditions, the brain has "forgotten" about the pain and does nothing to heal the area, allowing the body to accept the injury as "normal".

In applying shockwave therapy, a new inflammatory response is created, which kickstarts the brain.  The brain then responds and reacts accordingly, as though it's treating a new "injury".

Primarily, it accelerates the body's own innate ability to heal, and also effects the neurological system, reducing the pain response.

Rangers Defeat Islanders; Knicks and Nets Lose to Wizards

Though the Knicks did win last night, it has not been a terribly positive few days for New York sports.

Print Email

Islanders and Rangers

The Islanders and Rangers both suffered losses early in the weak.

After beating Pittsburgh 4-1 during their first meeting, the Islanders found themselves on the wrong side of the Penguins offense during their second showdown. Pittsburgh scored once in the first, once in the second, and once more in the third period before the Islanders could find an answer for them.

Grabner scored New York’s first goal and was quickly followed by a shot from Boyes 35 seconds later to make the game interesting, but a fourth Penguins goal in the game’s last minutes would prove the end of the night. Nabokov blocked 22 of 25 as the Islanders lost 4-2.

The Rangers fared little better in their first match against New Jersey. The Devils scored in the fifth and nineteenth minutes of the game to go up 2-0—a score which held until nearly three minutes into the third, when they got past Lundqvist for the third time on 22 shots. Kreider provided the Rangers’ only goal a few minutes later as they lost 3-1.

With both teams coming off tough losses, neither wanted to falter in their first of four meetings this season. Evidently the Rangers were hungrier for the win, as they shot off to a 2-0 lead on goals from Miller and Gaborik during the first. After Tavares brought the game back within 1 on a goal midway through the second, Miller closed the period out by retrieving the Rangers’ two goal lead.

The third did not see a change in score until nearly the eighteenth minute when McDonagh padded the Rangers’ lead on an empty net shot. Nabokov blocked 21 of 24 for the Islanders while Lundqvist stopped 27 of 28 for the Rangers.

Having now lost three in a row, the Islanders stand at 4-5-1 this year while the Rangers improve to 5-5, but both teams trail the Devils and Penguins in the NHL’s Atlantic division.

The Islanders will play the Sabres tonight at 7, while the Rangers will meet the Lightning tomorrow night at 7:30.

Knicks Beaten by Wizards, Defeat Timberwolves

The Knicks’ 5 game winning streak came to an end this week. Though they trailed Washington by 3 entering the half, they were up 73-70 before the fourth quarter began. Unfortunately, the Wizards (who are now 14-35) had their strongest final period of the year as they powered past New York to come out on top, 106-96.

Carmelo Anthony had 31 points while Felton scored 17; Stoudemire and Smith had 19 and 13 off the bench respectively.

Yesterday’s game against the Timberwolves did not look much prettier. Despite playing against another team with a losing record, the Knicks had a multitude of lead changes in Minnesota.

After being outscored 31-18 in the third, New York turned the tables with a 30-18 fourth period. Anthony scored 12 points in the final seven minutes to put the Knicks over 100-94. He had 36 points on the night, while JR Smith put up 15. Stoudemire, Felton, and Novak all had 11.

The Knicks will play the Clippers tomorrow at 1 PM.

Nets Drop 2 of 3

Despite the Lakers being without Dwight Howard, they were able to pull off a 9 point victory over Brooklyn.

The Nets actually had a 77-76 lead with 5 minutes left in the game, and an 83-82 lead not long afterwards. A 10-0 run from LA would seal their fate, however, as they fell 92-83.

Brook Lopez had an impressive 30 points and 11 rebounds, but Williams and Johnson were the only other Nets to break into double digits.

The Nets moved on to Detroit—where they have lost their last 10 games—in hopes of recovering from the loss. They trailed 46-40 at half time, but turned things around in the second half. Brooklyn cut the lead by 2 in the third quarter, then erased it with a 24-17 fourth that put them over 93-90.

Though no Nets player scored more than 17 points, each member of the starting 5 had at least 10, with Evans grabbing 14 rebounds as well.

Brooklyn next moved on to the Wizards, who seem to be developing a habit of making life difficult for New York basketball teams this season. Washington devastated the Nets with a 30-11 second quarter, which Brooklyn chipped away at after the break, but could not overcome. The Wizards won 89-74 after keeping the Nets at bay.

Williams led the team in its loss with 20 points, followed by Johnson with 14 and Lopez with 13.

Läderach Brings Swiss Chocolate to Long Island’s 3 Simon Malls

Chocolate lovers, read on for some delicious news.

Läderach, Switzerland’s largest chocolate retailer, just opened three locations on Long Island: Walt Whitman Shops, Smith Haven Mall, and Roosevelt Field Mall. This is part of an agreement to open 15 new shops in Simon properties, as well as 17 other locations. Adding to existing locations in Manhattan and Washington D.C., Läderach will have more than 35 storefronts nationwide by this fall.

The Roosevelt Field Mall location opened on Aug. 11 and was filled with customers within a matter of hours — and for good reason. The brand new store was filled to the brim with chocolates of all different kinds, in many types of flavors and forms: truffles, pralines, confectionery specialties, popcorn, and more. The large variety of chocolates made the store feel almost Wonka-esque (though perhaps with less of a chance of being escorted away by elves.)

Though this could easily overwhelm the senses, it was still clear to see the biggest draw of all — the FrischSchoggi. The word is Swiss-German slang meaning “fresh chocolate,” and it comes in large sheets of thick, fresh bark, ready for you to snap off and eat. Friends, couples, children, and grandparents alike gathered excitedly around the store window, amazed. Very few were able to resist coming in for a taste, and the friendly staff was more than happy to give customers tours of all their chocolate creations.

At the front counter, sheets of detailed truffles and pralines feature combinations of dark, milk, and white chocolate, as well as fillings of hazelnut, caramel, honey, and more. Many of these small, melt-in-your-mouth creations are finished with hand touches such as flakes of edible gold, honeycomb patterns, and chocolate stamps.

Läderach was first founded in 1962 by Rudolf Läderach, who is credited with revolutionizing the chocolate industry through his newfound method of truffle creation. The company continues to be family-owned and operated, with Läderach’s sons and grandsons continuing his legacy of innovation. Elias Läderach, head of innovation and production, is the current World Chocolate Master after competing against the world’s best chocolatiers in the highly competitive Cacao Barry World Chocolate Masters. His winning creation is available in Läderach stores.

The chocolate retailer owes its success not only to the innovation of its team, but also to the levels at which they are able to control the method of chocolate production. While some companies are only involved with the actual making of the chocolate, Läderach follows its creation from the bean to the bar.

Läderach products are exclusively sold in their own stores and online, and international stores receive weekly shipments in order to guarantee the chocolate’s freshness. Their ingredients are locally sourced from Swiss farmers, except for the cacao beans, which are not native to Switzerland. Instead, Läderach purchases these directly from cacao farmers and plants 4,000 cacao trees each year to offset their environmental impact and ensure sustainability.

So whether you have a chocolate craving or just want to take a look at some gorgeous edible creations, head over to Läderach!

Family Event to Raise Funds for “A Playground for Roya” on Aug. 29

Positivity, community-building, random acts of kindness: These are the legacy of community member Roya Doovidnia, who lost her battle to cancer in 2001. They are also the foundations of the “A Playground for Roya” fundraiser, a mission to build a playground in her memory.

Doovidnia died of a rare form of cancer known as Ewing’s Sarcoma at 18 years old. It was a significant loss for her loved ones, but not significant enough to overshadow the massive positive impact of her life. She is remembered by her friends and family as a smiling, thoughtful girl whose gratitude and positivity were overflowing.

Twenty years later, Doovidnia’s sister, Rozalin, is honoring her memory with a fundraiser to build a state-of-the-art playground at Whitney Pond Park in Manhasset. The playground is the perfect way to continue the positive impact of Doovidnia, who had planned on becoming an elementary school teacher, Rozalin says. To date, the GoFundMe has raised more than $20,000 of its $50,000 goal.

The fundraiser’s goal is to provide a community playground “where children of all ages are excited to go,” Rozalin writes on the GoFundMe page. “The kind of playground that makes adults wish they were kids again or better yet, get them in on the action, playing along with their children. One that would make Roya proud and worthy of bearing her name.”

Some ideas for the new playground include a zip line, a large multi-activity play center, a Ninja Warrior-style obstacle course, a swing set with traditional and specialty swings, and more. Town of North Hempstead will choose the final installations after a visioning and design process.

Site of the new playground at Whitney Pond Park.

In addition to the GoFundMe, there will also be an end-of-summer fundraising bash at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 29 at Whitney Pond Park. The fundraising event (emphasis on fun) will include entertainment from puppeteer and comedian Harrison Bryan, music from DJ Wyze, and other kid-friendly surprises. This event has a recommended donation of $25 per family to help the fundraiser reach its goal.

If you’re like Roya and are passionate about creating a fun, positive environment for both kids and the community at large, come on down with the family for the fundraising event. To learn more, visit the GoFundMe.

Hempstead Village, School District Plan to Work Together in New School Year

The Hempstead School District will collaborate with Hempstead Village on new programs aimed at student success.

The new Hempstead Union Free School District Board of Education announced its “blueprint for the future of education” after Hempstead Village Mayor Waylyn Hobbs Jr. swore the board members in on Monday.

Community leaders gathered at Hempstead Village Hall to hear Board President Olga Brown-Young, Vice President Victor Pratt, Trustee Patricia McNeill, and Superintendent Regina Armstrong reveal their plan to integrate the leadership of the Hempstead Union Free School District with that of the local government for the Village of Hempstead.

“Usually there’s a separation of village and school district, but that hasn’t worked for us for the past 20 years,” said New York State Assemblywoman Taylor Darling (D-Hempstead).

“I understand how important it is for our school district and our village to work together,” Hobbs said. “For so long, we have said that they’re two different entities. But, if we have a successful school district, we have a successful village.”

The school district has been named “Most Improved in the State” by the State Education Department after the 2020 high school graduation rate rose from one of the lowest in the nation to a recent high of 81 percent.

“We’re coming up with programs where we can change the narrative in the Village of Hempstead — where it’s no longer from the pipeline to the jailhouse,” Hobbs said. “But we want to come up with programs that are gonna have the opportunity for our young people to be professionals, be productive in our community, and have [the] opportunity to give back to the Village of Hempstead. Hempstead has too many success stories for us to continue to allow the negative narrative to make more noise.”

Hempstead Village Mayor Waylyn Hobbs Jr. swears in the Hempstead Board of Education’s new members. (Photo by Nicole Formisano)

Superintendent Armstrong said it is all about the students.

“We have work to do, because there are some students that we are leaving behind,” she said. “And it’s our goal to ensure that no student is left behind. So as we move forward into this school year, we’re going to be focused on more programs that are designed to ensure those students have those pathways that they need for graduation … making certain that we have the resources in the classrooms to close that learning gap.”

RISE Life Services Launches Helpline For Individuals in Distress

RISE Life Services has a new helpline. (Getty Images)

It’s more than 40 years of providing crucial aid to individuals in distress, RISE Life Services is expanding its services to include a helpline for those facing struggles.

In every community, there are individuals facing serious challenges — disabilities, mental health struggles, homelessness, addiction. But Riverhead-based RISE is dedicated to making sure struggling individuals receive the support they need in order to reach their full potential. The program has now launched a helpline with the sole purpose of making sure anyone in need of help is receiving the personalized support they require.

“What the helpline does is, it gives everyone a specific number to call into,” says Admission and Intake Director Darryl Johnson. “Before, they’d just call RISE, and we have so many different departments and people working for us, sometimes it’s hard to connect people to the correct resource. So the helpline connects you to the right resources and team members so that we’re facilitating that conversation with you from Day One, as soon as you call.”

When RISE first started out in 1980, the organization was dedicated to providing support to those with developmental disabilities, both mental and physical. Since then, it has grown to aid anyone who is in need of support.

“Our motto is that we’re here to help all people of all abilities,” Johnson says. “Even though we focus on individuals with mental illness or developmental disabilities, there are a lot of people that have other challenges.”

“Sometimes it’s just, ‘I lost my job, I lost my housing. What else is out there for me?’ So we help people of all abilities, not just those who were diagnosed with a disability.”

RISE’s services include residential services, crisis intervention, recreation therapy, psychological evaluations, and much more. If an individual is in need of a service that RISE doesn’t offer, it will use partnerships with numerous hospitals, clinics, and businesses in order to put that individual in contact with whoever can provide the service the individual requires.

“Knowledge is key. A lot of times people just don’t know where to obtain resources and support from. I think we’re located in a high-traffic area for people who need support and services … So we realized, you know, we need to have additional services or support for those individuals — kind of an outreach program in the community, to really provide people with information and services that can continue to assist them.”

If you or a loved one is in need of information or support, you can use the helpline 855-RISE-LIFE or visit the website at riselifeservices.org

The State of Long Island Music Venues Reopening

Concert fanatics, listen up! Live music is coming back to Long Island.

We all sacrificed a lot during the pandemic. We stayed home for a full year, showing how much we truly respect each other’s safety and wellbeing (at least when we’re not driving on the Southern State). And during that year, we missed out on so much of what makes Long Island what it is — the beach days, the boardwalk jogs, the dining out, the nightlife. But thanks to healthcare workers, local vaccination efforts, and our mindful citizens, we’re finally ready to make up for lost time.

Stony Brook Community Rallies Behind Local Restaurant Pentimento

Courtesy Save Pentimento Restaurant Stony Brook on Facebook.

Stony Brook residents are rallying to save Pentimento, a restaurant that locals say is a beloved staple of Stony Brook Village for nearly three decades and is at risk of shutting down.

Patricia Kirchner, of Stony Brook, organized a petition and a Facebook group called “Save Pentimento Restaurant” in hopes of keeping the restaurant afloat. In less than one week, the petition has garnered more than 1,800 signatures, and a GoFundMe online fundraiser created to aid the restaurant has raised $3,400.

Pentimento is at the heart of our community. It has been the place we call home, the place we celebrate our special moments, and that place to fill our bellies and our hearts,” says the GoFundMe, organized by community member Chelsea Gomez.

Many donors expressed similar sentiments, sharing fond memories of the restaurant.

“I love this restaurant,” one donor wrote on the GoFundMe. “We had our wedding here and many wonderful meals with family and friends. Save Pentimento.”

The outpouring of support was not only directed at the restaurant itself but the people who run it as well. Partners Lisa Cusumano and Dennis Young, manager and chef, respectively, have become invaluable to the community over the years, customers say.

“Lisa’s such an incredible human being,” Kirchner says. “She’s the most charitable, loving woman I’ve ever met. The way that she and Dennis make you feel like family, you want to be there and support them.”

Pentimento is in danger of closing its doors after being denied a lease renewal by the Ward Melville Heritage Organization (WMHO). Due to financial challenges in the pandemic, the owners are struggling to gather the resources required for relocation. In response, the WMHO is facing a significant amount of online backlash.

However, the WMHO is not wavering. A statement released by Gloria Rocchio, president of WMHO and principal officer of Eagle Realty Holdings Inc., asserted that there was a breach of contract and that “the tenant asked for a much longer lease extension than is indicated in the present option to renew.”

The explanation has done little to sway the minds of disappointed Stonybrook residents.

“We have all convened in this one restaurant for the past 27 years, and I think it’s because of what Pentimento is,” Kirchner says. “We all feel such a connection to them — I think everyone in the community’s child has worked there at some point. Lisa has employed everyone, it’s amazing.”

“Losing Pentimento would be a tragedy for this community,” says the GoFundMe. “They employ dozens of people and support local businesses including farms, bakeries, fish markets, butchers, and more.”

Despite the unwavering stance of the WMHO, the creators of the Facebook page are continuing to organize to aid Pentimento, including launching a phone call campaign, a letter-writing campaign, and a physical protest in front of WMHO and Eagle Realty, as well as spreading the petition and fundraiser.

BakedwithGrace Goes From Online Cookie Pie Sales to Babylon Storefront

Do you prefer ooey-gooey cookies, or a warm slice of pie? Well, all you sweet-tooths out there no longer have to choose, thanks to the cookie-pie business taking Long Island by storm: BakedwithGrace.

Some of us spent quarantine learning a new hobby, while others spent it in one long existential crisis. But that simply wasn’t enough for then-20-year-old Grace Reilly, who was looking for something a little sweeter.

“I’m the type of person that just always needs to be doing something. I got bored of
Netflix!” Reilly, 21, says.

As a college student, Reilly makes most of her money babysitting — not the most in-demand profession during the months most people were staying home. So she started brainstorming for alternatives.

“I always made cookies with the boys I babysit … and they would ask for different fillings,” Reilly says. “They would ask for mint oreos, another week marshmallows. All different stuff we would put in it. And chocolate chip cookies — warm, gooey — is my favorite dessert. So that’s kind of how I got the idea.”

Thus, BakedwithGrace was born. It was a modest endeavor at first — until the Internet got involved.

In August 2020, Dave Portnoy, best known as the founder of Barstool Sports, a pop culture and sports blog that has an unrivaled grip on college-aged Internet audiences, featured BakedwithGrace in his well-known “Barstool Review” series in which he eats and judges food from various restaurants. After that, there was no turning back — these cookie-pies were in demand

Despite a booming business that would suggest a natural chef, Reilly hadn’t had much prior experience with baking. She mostly relied on store-bought cookie dough, but always with a twist — delicious fillings that people clearly can’t get enough of.

“I just wanted to make some money and I love desserts, so I figured why not try and start selling them?” Reilly says. “I never imagined it to be this big. I thought I was just going to be making them out of my house and doing pick-ups.

“I had never planned to start baking from scratch,” she says. “This is kind of a freak thing.”

Courtesy BakedwithGrace via Facebook.

Unable to keep up with the cookie-pie requests from her home, Reilly started working from a shared professional kitchen space. But she quickly outgrew that, too, and now has her own storefront in Babylon that just celebrated its grand opening on July 17.

“I’m not stopping at one store,” Reilly says. I’m even talking to distributors to get them into more grocery stores. It’s already in Uncle Giuseppe’s and a bunch of other markets across Long Island.”

You can also find BakedwithGrace at Fat Boys Burrito Co. in Bellmore, Coliseum Kitchen in Plainview, Gabby’s Gourmet Deli in Woodbury, and many other locations.

So all you cookie fanatics and all around dessert-lovers, clear your afternoon schedule — there are cookie-pies with your name on them! For more information, check out the BakedwithGrace website.

Long Islanders Continue Education to Make Post Pandemic Career Changes

The coronavirus forced many workers to change careers or learn new skills, often with the help of local continuing education programs.

Many colleges are seeing this shift in attitude reflected in their enrollment numbers. Some have noticed a particular uptick in service-oriented educational programs such as healthcare. Because these areas were hit so hard by the pandemic, one might expect their popularity to fall in response. Instead, people are flocking to enroll in these programs more than ever.

“Any time there’s a life-changing situation, people tend to re-evaluate their goals,” says Marguerite Lane, assistant vice president of enrollment management for Molloy College. “We saw that in the 2008 recession, and to a greater extent now with the pandemic. People are now taking the time to pursue their passions. People want to make a difference, instead of just having a job.”

Such is the case with Brahashitha Gupta, director of the A. Holly Patterson Extended Care Facility Indian / Asian Unit in Uniondale. She used quarantine as an opportunity for reflection, and in that reflection, found purpose.

“[Covid] gave me a lot of time to think and reassess,” she says. “At the end of the day, you need to make sure you are fulfilling something that gives you happiness.”

For Gupta, happiness involves a life of service.

“Senior citizens are such a vulnerable population,” she says. “They are left out. I wanted to do something more for them. That’s why I pursued this Community Health Worker program [at Nassau Community College].”

Community health workers serve as a liaison/link/intermediary between health/social services and the community.

Even though some consider a remote learning format to be an obstacle, Gupta explains that it can actually be much more compatible with their already busy adult lives.

“You have more time, save money on gas, there’s less hustle-bustle energy where you’re always on the go,” she says of online schooling. “If the remote learning option wasn’t available, I wouldn’t have even chosen to go back and study. It gave me more time with my family, and of course the cooking and cleaning. At the end of the day, I had more time on my hands.”

Covid-19 brought terrible losses. However, it also brought us this novel opportunity to reevaluate ourselves and our situations. In the months of quietude in 2020, people were forced to reckon with their goals and desires. For many, this started a road of self-improvement, the destination of which was often education.

As Lane said, “Education is never just about doing better in your career or making more money. Education is always about learning and growing as a person. And I think that when people self-reflect and want to do something for themselves, they take the opportunity in education.”

Scheduled to hunt with GH late July 2022. Have heard nothing good in response that NZ will be open to non residents any time soon. Do not want to rain on anyone’s parade, but NZ has been closed. Plus, have little hope it will be open any time soon. Our trip has been scheduled since 2019. Our schedule to hunt was to come during my 75th birthday. Will know more during the 2022 SCI convention in LasVegas.
BTW, with hope all will come to fruition for all that have trips scheduled. MTG
Keep your fingers crossed. Things will start to open up as our vax rates increase. We are up around 73% at the moment and once we are near 90% the promise is that we will begin to get back to a new normal. Don't expect to get in though unless you are double vaccinated.

No sign - YET - for a booster 3rd shot here in New Zealand.
Still getting ∆ infections in our largest city - 45 today after 8 yesterday.
No country in the world has managed to control ∆, so it'll be a while before hunting here is opened up to overseas hunter's.

Red One Release Date, Cast, And Plot - What We Know So Far

If there is one irrefutable truth about Dwayne Johnson, it's the fact that the Hollywood superstar loves to keep his schedule packed. A quick scan of his IMDb page reveals the multi-hyphenate star has eight projects on the horizon, including the completed "Jungle Cruise," the still-filming "Black Adam," and upcoming projects "San Andreas 2" and "The King." This week, we can add one more major project to Johnson's pile: the holiday-themed action-adventure comedy "Red One."

The Hollywood Reporter revealed in late June that Johnson and his production company, Seven Bucks, have set up "Red One" at Amazon. There seems to be a lot of promise and hype built up around the project, with THR noting possible branding and marketing tie-ins associated with the project. What that really means, though, is anyone's guess, but good use could be made of Amazon's marketplace with its tie-in opportunities. So far, we know that Johnson will take on multiple roles for the project, including producing alongside Seven Bucks partners Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia. Chris Morgan, the screenwriter behind "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw," will pen "Red One." No director nor any additional casting announcement have been revealed yet.

With this project still in the early stages of production, here's what we really know so far about "Red One."

What is the Red One release date?

According to THR, "Red One" is planning "to shoot in 2022 with a 2023 holiday release." No details have been released yet regarding expected filming locations or the duration of the shoot. However, depending on the needs of the "Red One" plot, the schedules for Johnson and any other cast and crew who board the pic, and the expectations of Amazon (to name a few key factors), we could generally expect filming for "Red One" to occur in mid-to-late 2022. This would allow post-production for the film to take up much of early 2023 and allow Amazon to roll out any big marketing and e-commerce plans it has throughout the year.

Additionally, THR's mention of "holiday release" teases the likelihood that "Red One" will premiere on Amazon Prime Video sometime between Thanksgiving 2023 and Christmas Day 2023, or it could premiere on either of those specific holidays when the chances of families streaming from the comfort of their own couch are greater than any other day. Amazon's goal to lock in a major holiday release date slot could become clearer if any plans to release "Red One" theatrically materialize.

Who is in the Red One cast?

So far, Johnson is the only big name attached to "Red One." Per THR, Johnson will star in the holiday feature film, naturally. No official details about Johnson's character have been released. If this movie is a Christmas-themed movie and, by that guess, includes Santa Claus — which we're willing to say yes to with a title like "Red One" — then it's quite possible our favorite action star will be transforming into the world's most famous gift-giver.

One look at Johnson's IMDb page shows he is no stranger to tackling larger-than-life characters. Whether it's transforming into fellow mythical being the Tooth Fairy for 2010's "Tooth Fairy," a video game hero in "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle," tougher-than-nails DSS agent Luke Hobbs in the "Fast & Furious" franchise, or superpowers DC anti-hero Black Adam for the upcoming DCEU pic "Black Adam," Johnson has worn many, many hats.

The real question won't be whether Johnson can pull off a legit transformation into Old Saint Nick (because we know he can, even if it requires a hefty suspension of disbelief), but who will co-star alongside him in "Red One." No names have yet been thrown into the ring for this project, which means all casting suggestions are valid. We do have one suggestion that could work: Kevin Hart. Following their team-ups on both "Jumanji" movies, the 2016 action-comedy "Central Intelligence," and Hart's "Hobbs & Shaw" cameo, seeing the pair back on screen together for a holiday-themed adventure could be a major draw. Plus, imagine all of the elf-related jokes Johnson could fire off at Hart's expense.

What is the plot of Red One?

While no specific plot details for "Red One" have been shared yet, we do have a very general logline for the movie. And when we say general, we mean general. Per THR, "Red One" is "a globe-trotting, four-quadrant action-adventure comedy, imagining a whole new universe to explore within the holiday genre." That's it. That's the entire synopsis thus far.

Even with this thin premise, which completely eschews any mention of Christmas, Santa Claus, the North Pole, or reindeer with red noses, there is the reveal that it will be part of the holiday movie genre. As such, audiences can likely expect to see a high-concept holiday-themed movie take shape in the coming months as this project develops. Additionally, the use of "four-quadrant action-adventure comedy" immediately calls to mind some of Johnson's biggest movies to date, including the "Jumanji" films, "Jungle Cruise," "Hobbs & Shaw," and "Central Intelligence." Johnson is a seasoned star when it comes to action, adventure, and comedy, and knows how to navigate complex plots (including those in the aforementioned flicks). This should set fans at ease if there are any worries the plot of "Red One" won't be something worthy of Johnson's skills as a performer or, at minimum, something eminently watchable.

Lopez Elementary

Lopez Elementary School

Educating the Whole Child

We understand that children mature academically, socially, emotionally, and physically at different times, in different ways. Trusting in each child's unique trajectory, we help them experience success at every grade level. Our students learn math, science, reading, literacy and writing in grade level groups and take classes in music, art,  physical education, and garden with their age peers. With an average of only 14 - 15 students per class, they receive personal attention that naturally leads to caring relationships with their teachers, classmates, and classroom volunteers.

Our elementary school teachers are a self-directed, independent group who believe that children learn best in an atmosphere of safety, tenderness, and belonging.  Committed to helping our youngest students get a strong start, they create cozy, nurturing classrooms where children begin exploring the meaningful work that will be theirs throughout the school years.

Teachers and Support Staff

Our teachers all have excellent credentials and continually seek professional development. As they define and refine the school's multi-age homerooms and age-level subject groups, they explore ways to marry the state's learning objectives to a program that engages, excites and involves youngsters.

The elementary support staff is exceptionally strong, often sharing the joys and responsibilities of teaching the children.  People say that our elementary school is like a family. It is a description we love to hear!

Garden Program

Lopez Elementary

Our L.I.F.E. garden is recognized as one of the premier teaching gardens in the country. Beginning in kindergarten, our certified garden teacher takes students outdoors weekly to sow, cultivate, and harvest their own organic produce. Back in the classroom, students learn math, science, reading, and literacy using fun, hands-on lessons based on Antonia Demas's award-winning Food Is Elementary curriculum. The L.I.F.E. garden is affecting lasting change in our children's eating choices. Once interested in fast-food and processed meals, they now choose fresh fruits and veggies regularly harvested from their gardens and served in the school lunch line.

LEAD (Lopez Elementary Adventure Days) and Enrichment

We offer a wealth of enrichment opportunities. In addition to weekly classes in art, music,  physical education, garden, and TinkerLab, students participate in LEAD days and take regular field trips to such places as Seattle's Children's Theater, Boeing's Museum of Flight, the Washington State Historical Museum, and the state capitol.

Helping children develop age-appropriate skills in cooperation, respect, and team building is also a key focus. Playtime, physical education, and recess are venues to explore these issues and teachers use circle time to teach social skills such as fairness, decision making, and compassion.

4 Bath drain cover for babies

Here is a list of bath drain covers for your baby.

  1.  [amazon box=”B01N8QUATD”]

Take all the guesswork out of tub-time. Munchkin’s SmartDrain is as simple as it gets. Place it over your sink, shower, or tub drain and let it get to work. Not only will it plug the water for baths, it will automatically turn on and start glowing one of three colors. Give the water a quick mix with your arm and watch the temperature read-out. Red shows that your water is too hot, blue is too cold, and green is just right. Keep an eye on it during the bath to know when you need to warm things up a bit. The unit will automatically shut off after 30 minutes, to save the batteries and your peace of mind.

Constant red light = hot (approx. 101-105 degrees) ,Constant blue light = cold (approx. 86-90 degrees Fahrenheit) ,When bath water is just right, you will see a constant green light (approx. 91-100 degrees Fahrenheit).

2. [amazon box=”B017IQZKPS”]

Our thing is problem solving and ingenuity, and simple yet effective design is our passion. Boon is an innovator, designer and manufacturer of infant and toddler products. We are driven by a strong desire to create modern products that help simplify parent’s lives while retaining their personal style.

3. [amazon box=”B019JZOU2A”]

Keep bathwater where it the tub. These Disney Drain Covers help prevent water leaking down the drain and protect little bathers from the sometimes-sharp edges of a drain plug. Comes in Nemo and The Little Mermaid’s Sebastian characters so kids can splash and splash with their favorite underwater friends.

4.  [amazon box=”B00I3ZIE5W”]

Kid-friendly. Stinger-free. We love tubs. Drains, not so much. Some have stoppers that don’t work (annoying). Others have stoppers that stick up (hazardous). Ray solves both of these problems and is adorable to boot. The soft exterior covers the plug while also forming a suction over the drain so no water can escape. Now that’s a sting ray of sunshine.

How We Talked Amanda Palmer Into Releasing Under Creative Commons

As you may know, we're fans of sharing music and creative commons and I just wanted to share a story about how I talked someone into doing the same.

The best part about this story is just the simplicity about how it happened. It wasn't a big ordeal it was just a simple conversation I had on twitter with Amanda Palmer. So here's the story...

Ben Folds, Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman, and Damian Kulash released an album recently on bandcamp called Nighty Night under the band name 8in8. The concept was to write and record eight songs in eight hours at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass. It was for the Rethink Music conference that took place April 25th - 27th. And they were selling it for $1, with all the proceeds from the first week’s sales going to Berklee City Music. Which I have to say, everything I just wrote about in that paragraph is very cool.

The conference was described as :
a solutions-focused conference, bringing together all sides and viewpoints on the subjects of creativity, commerce, and policy to engage in critical dialogue examining the business and rights challenges facing the music industry in the digital era, and to formulate ideas for the creation and distribution of new music and other creative works.
I watched some of the conference streaming online that day and liked the concept behind it. But I was a bit surprised when I saw the album they released and it was under a regular copyright. I thought from the description of the conference that they were missing an opportunity to showcase the need for artists to use creative commons to represent their art.

So I just briefly posted a message on twitter to @amandapalmer

I was delighted to find that later that day she had responded:
I was kind of confused by this second post but figured she was reading up on it and considdering it.

Then some other people viewing the conversation also asked about this move.
One was for it:

Another was wondering if it would hurt the donation they were asking for if they were allowed to share it:

I responded just by stating how I thought with the spirit of the conference that it should be offered as a medium for being re-mixable and and built upon for other artists. And that if fans wanted to promote it they would know that they were allowed to do this with permission from the artist.

The next day I got a message from the person in the previous conversation letting me know that the album was indeed now released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial License or CC BY-NC

So, in brief, this means that under this artist license you could Remix or adapt the work as long as you attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work). And you may not use this work for commercial purposes.

And soon after that people were talking to Amanda about wanting to make videos for the songs and other uses for artistic purposes on her twitter feed.

That's really what I/we think it's all about, using art to make art and to share the things you like freely and openly. So thanks to Amanda for considering it and acting on it. I hope it's a step in the right direction to show artists how to own their own work and let the fans know that they own it too!

Rivers of the Lothians are like members of a family â€“ the North Esk at Roslin, the Avon near Linlithgow, Almond, Water of Leith etc. The valleys bear certain resemblances to one another. They are all beautiful but, as I was brought up here, Dalkeith must have the finest setting of all.

(Bella Union)

You know what you need right now? Uncertainty. Landshapes’ brilliant new album Contact reminds you how fun it is to listen to a project when you have no idea where it’s going next. The London band’s first release in five years captures the kinetic energy of their live shows and wrings it out for all it’s worth as they to-and-fro between vocalists and boldly explore multiple genres, resulting in this collage of beautiful ideas. There are drum rolls that abruptly stop and give way to psychedelic guitar grooves, followed by expansive pads that war with clanging bells interrupted by crunching distorted drums – and then there’s nine other songs. It’s genuinely impressive that an album with this many ideas doesn’t feel overstuffed or spread too thin.

The album’s title is its north star, as it considers every aspect of connection and intimacy in a way that feels rather prescient, with well-worn tropes approached in refreshing ways. Lead single ‘The Ring’ explores how landmarks in our friends’ lives make us ruminate upon why we’re falling short in our own; but instead of sinking you into despair, it makes you want to dance through it. ‘Drama’ is a breakup song, but it’s about the growing need to have The Talk rather than pretending you’re okay, the weightlessness of the spacey instrumentation contrasting with the despond of the lyrics, and that dissonance between appearance and reality returns in ‘Real Love Is Dead’ as the lyrical cynicism and drone of the guitars give way to a fluttering harp. It’s the kind of sound that’s used to signify a dream in a movie, begging the question of whether this is the band’s truth, what they really think. That’s Contact in a nutshell. How do we know what we mean to each other? We don’t. Good album.

DETECTIVES are hunting a man who robbed an 82-year-old woman of her handbag in Castle Donington.

The pensioner was walking along Clapgun Street when the suspect approached her from behind, pulled the bag from her shoulder and ran off.

Cash, a purse and bank cards were all stolen in the incident which happened near to the library at about 11pm on Tuesday, October 14.

The woman sustained minor injuries and has been left shaken by the ordeal.

The suspect is described as white, about 5ft 8ins tall, in his mid-20s and of stocky build. He was wearing a grey hooded tracksuit with two large blue squares on the side.

Police are also keen to identify the driver of a white flat-bed lorry that was seen in Eastway around the time of the incident. The vehicle had high green sides on the flat-bed section and was carrying two large white square containers.

Anyone with information should call the police on 101.

Nate Diaz walked away from his five-round fight with Leon Edwards thinking what could’ve been.

Despite being dominated for the majority of the history-making bout, Diaz found some success in round five. The UFC fan favourite badly rocked Edwards who was able to survive the last few seconds on seriously wobbly legs.

At the UFC 263 post-fight press conference, Diaz talked about feeling a sense of victory despite walking away with a lopsided decision defeat.

“I got cut in training, that’s why we had to push the fight back for a month,” Diaz told reporters, including MMA Junkie, at the UFC 263 post-fight press conference. “I kind of lost all motivation to train and work out hard and all that, so I kind of just lingered around for a month to get ready for war like that. At the end of the day, I feel like he won or whatever, but I feel like I’m the better fighter still regardless, and I feel like the peak of the fight is what matters anyway in the end.

“No hate on Leon, congratulations to him and why would you fight anybody but the top guy if you’re going to fight at all,” Diaz added. “I wish it would’ve went my way, but it’s all good.”

Diaz feels he just ran out of time and in the real world he would’ve beat Edwards.

“Fight was a wrap,” Diaz said. “In a real fight in the real world, that’s a wrap. So, yeah. He was sleep-walking.”

Diaz want to get straight back into camp for another fight in the next few months.

“I want to fight in three or four months,” Diaz said. “I’m ready to get back in there. Just to heal up. If I was unscathed I would be back in next week. I just wasn’t motivated to train anymore because I already put in the hard work for the next fight in Texas where it was supposed to be. It had to linger on for another f*cking month and it just sucked so I just rolled with the punches and did what I had to do to get here.” (Transcribed by MMA Junkie)

Writeup from MB 106:

Northwest Africa 11071 (NWA 11071)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2016 Jul

Classification: Enstatite achondrite (Aubrite)

History: A batch of small brownish stones was purchased by Roger Jones in July 2016 from a dealer in Guelmim, Morocco.

Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) Aggregate of predominantly enstatite (to 1.6 mm) with accessory albite, oligoclase, silica polymorph, daubreelite, altered kamacite, schreibersite and perryite. Grain boundaries are stained with iron hydroxides from alteration of primary metal.

Geochemistry: Enstatite (Fs0.0-0.1Wo0.5-0.7, N = 2), albite (Ab92.4An1.6Or6.0), oligoclase (An16.0Or2.5), metal (Si 1.6-3.3 wt.%, Ni 2.0-3.6 wt.%, Co 0.4 wt.%).

Classification: Aubrite.

Specimens: 4.8 g including one polished mount at UWB; remainder with Mr. R. Jones.

Writeup from MB 108:
NWA 11071: reclassification.

NWA 4799, NWA 7214, NWA 7809, and NWA 11071 contain unfractionated modal abundances of plagioclase, troilite, and metal, which is similar to other enstatite chondrite meteorites. These NWA samples contain higher abundances of metal (7-14 vol.%) compared to aubrites. The only silicate phases in these samples are enstatite and plagioclase, whereas aubrites present olivine and diopside. Meteorites of enstatite chondrite parentage typically do not contain diopside or olivine. Other distinguishing features are metal/troilite ratios and Ti concentrations in troilite. Aubrites contain lower metal/troilite ratios and high Ti in troilite, whereas enstatite chondrite meteorites show the opposite characteristics (as these NWA meteorites do). The metal in these samples presents a higher concentration of Si compared to the aubrites (4 wt.% Si in the NWA samples versus 0.9 wt. % Si in aubrites. Graphite was also observed in these samples, which is not typically found in aubrites. The NWA meteorites show an affinity for an EH chondritic parent body origin, as seen by low Ti in troilite, high Si in metals, the presence of niningerite and graphite, and the lack of diopside and forsterite.  As metal and troilite are observed as inclusions within enstatite grains, it suggests the rocks were formed by complete melting.

Nelson<sup>™</sup> Bubble Lamps®: A Retrospective

Saucer Criss Cross Bubble Pendant by Nelson Bubble Lamps®. Image via @maggiemillerinteriors

Nelson® Bubble Lamps®: A Retrospective

George Nelson's beloved designs are an icon of mid-century modern style.
See how these famous silhouettes fit into modern spaces.

Contemporary, rustic, commercial, ethereal—throw a dart at a thesaurus and you'll find an apt description for the iconic George Nelson Bubble Lamps®. This beloved and recognizable collection has been a fixture in stylish interiors since the early 1950s, after prolific designer George Nelson was inspired by some silk-covered Swedish lamps, which were beautiful but expensive and tedious to produce.

Nelson's interpretations embraced the mid-century modern ideal of using cutting-edge materials and manufacturing; instead of silk, the Bubble series uses a plastic spray developed by the U.S. military post-WWII. The resulting collection is an icon of modernist style.

Popular designs can run the risk of becoming stale with overexposure, so how do you incorporate these famous silhouettes without falling victim to a cookie-cutter modern cliche? Well, with the Bubble Lamps®, it's not that difficult. The perennially versatile designs offer endless choices and styling possibilities.

A key design element is the group, and the Bubble series is ideally suited to this treatment. Because the lamps come in such a wide variety of shapes and sizes, it's as simple as choosing your favorites and hanging them all up together. Here, the varying heights give a floating impression that is both sculptural and atmospheric. These shapes can also benefit from an organized layout, where the sum of its parts shines as a makeshift linear suspension over a long table.

On their own, each Bubble lamp has its own aesthetic strengths to offer. New silhouettes and old favorites can stand alone or be combined into any configuration you can dream up. Nelson Bubble Lamps® even offers a Triple Bubble Lamp Frame for hanging three pendants (up to 19" in diameter) together. And many of the silhouettes come in varying sizes and types (like wall sconces, floor and table lamps) so they're easy to incorporate into any existing décor.

A more straightforward mid-century style complements a single Saucer Bubble Pendant, with all the smooth lines and light colors creating a relaxed, modern vibe. Organic shapes, gentle curves and a nature-inspired palette stand out here. A matching-but-not Cigar Bubble Wall Sconce lends a sense of coordination and flow to the open space. The look is fresh because nothing is perfectly matched, yet every component works together.

Another grouping suited to a more intimate space, this corner shows that even a few Bubble Lamps® can create quite a centerpiece. Whether lit or not, the sculpturally interesting white lights will become a focal point against the dark colored walls, and the effect is multiplied in the shiny finishes. A low-hanging cluster of pendants like this in a living space could be hazardous, but the thoughtfully placed grouping prevents residents and visitors from walking right into the lights.

Finally, another part-Scandi, part-industrial look that is not screaming mid-century modern, but nevertheless is well appointed with one of Nelson's beloved creations. Neutral interiors can always benefit from structurally interesting additions, and the Bubble series is a great way to incorporate some architectural interest without having to do any remodeling.

Friends of Southern Area Hospice raise £500k

Friends of the Southern Area Hospice have reached their 15th birthday with the milestone news that they have raised half a million pounds for the charity.

Tuesday, 27th October 2015, 8:00 pm
Deirdre Breen with a friend at the a fundraising event for the Southern Area Hospice Services

The group started 15 years ago when Ann Dalzell’s mother Dorothy Donaldson passed away at the Hospice in Newry. Ann and her friend Deirdre Breen set up the charity to raise funds.

Deirdre told the MAIL: “Over the years we have lost three of our committee members to cancer - Nora McCluskey, Pat Lavery and Eilish Hamill.

“We have a small committee and new members are welcome to join us,” she said.

Members of the Southern Area Hospice fundraising team meet former President of Ireland Mary McAleese

Currently the committee members include Anne Dalzell, Ann Nugent, Derdre Breen, Fionnuala Fox, Josie Quinn,Mary Lynch, Mary Rogers and Maureen Walsh.

“Over the past 15 years we have raised money from coffee mornings, craft fairs, car boot sales, sponsored walks, musical evenings, poetry evenings,table quiz.”

There was even an evening with the mentalist David Meade.

Every year Barry Shanks, Kevin McAlinden and Martin McStay organise an annual Aghagallon Santa Fun Run and this year we celebrate the tenth Santa Run which takes place on Sunday, December 6.

Coffee morning in aid of the Southern Area Hospice Services

“This is a great event with runners and families with prams taking part. A great community event with Big Pat singing and food from all the local ladies,” Deirdre explained.

Tony McKeown and David Wilson raised £4,969 at a sponsored run at Lurgan Park on March 1 this year and have again organised the run for next year on February 26.

Over the past 15 years they have organised and been invited to many events.

“We were delighted to receive an invitation to Áras an Uachtaráin and met Mary McAleese,” said Deirdre.

Some of the team who help to raise funds for the Southern Area Hospice Service

Every year Geoff Morrow from Fa Joes donates half of proceeds from the annual JoeFest and recently presented the charity with £1,500.

“In October we held a book sale and made £808 and on 7th October we hosted a musical evening in memory of Eilish Hamill and raised £3,000 which helped us reach a target of half a million,” said Deirdre.

“We would like to thank everyone who helped us reach our target and hope we can rely on your support to helo us reach our next target of one million.

Scooper Bowl New York

Those looking to indulge their sweet tooth will be delighted to know there’s an annual festival designed just for you from June 1st through the 3rd in Manhattan’s Bryant Park. This year’s Scooper Bowl New York brings in the nation’s leading companies and craft creameries to a single location, where attendees can sample unlimited ice cream and sorbets to their heart’s content. For many sweets enthusiasts, this is the best food festival NYC has to offer.

Governors Ball Music Festival 2017

Billed as a mega-festival by organizers and fans alike, the Governors Ball Music Festival takes place on Randall’s Island on the Hudson River. Featuring a lineup that includes TOOL, Chance the Rapper, Lorde, Wiz Khalifa, and other well-known and up-and-coming talents, the festival kicks off on June 2nd and lasts all weekend.

2017 Tap+Cork: Brooklyn Beer & Wine Fest

Lincoln Center Festival 2017

Already renowned for its captivating performances, the Lincoln Center hosts its annual Lincoln Center Festival to deliver even more entertainment to arts lovers during its nearly month-long event. Starting on July 10th and running through the end of the month, the festival draws on the best talents in nearly every arts category, including film, theater, music and dance.

Panorama Music Festival

When it comes to music festivals, NYC doesn’t hold back on delivering talent. However, music isn’t the only hot ticket item at this year’s Panorama Music Festival, despite featuring acts that include Frank Ocean, Solange, Tame Impala, Alt-J and countless others over its three-day event.

Beyond having an ultra-high definition video screen that wraps around its stage for an immersive concert experience, the festival also combines technology, artistry and design in THE LAB, an experiential (and you could also say, experimental) mobile art studio featuring a massive virtual reality theater.

Whether you’re heading to the festival with a large group, planning a fun date, or looking for a way to avoid New York City traffic, there’s a Luxor Limo vehicle perfectly suited to your needs. Go ahead, have some fun, and leave the driving to us!

LUXXFOLIO to Issue Shares for Debt

Download PDF

VANCOUVER, BC – December 3, 2019 – LUXXFOLIO Holdings Inc. (“LUXXFOLIO” or the “Company”) (CSE:LUXX) is pleased to announce that it has arranged a shares for debt settlement (the “Debt Settlement”).

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary LUXXFOLIO Network Inc. (“LNI”) owed $48,080.25 for management and research services (the “Debt”) that were provided by a service provider (the “Creditor”).

Pursuant to the Debt Settlement, the Company will assume the Debt and will issue a total of 961,605 common shares (the “Debt Shares”) at a deemed price of $0.05 per Debt Share in full settlement of the Debt.

As a result of the issuance of the Debt Shares, the Creditor will become a control person of the Company. The Debt Shares will be subject to a four month plus one day hold period.

The Creditor, LNI, and the Company have certain common directors, officers, and insiders. As such, the Debt Settlement is a related party transaction as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on exemptions under MI 61-101 on the basis that the Debt Settlement does not exceed 25% of the fair market value of the Company’s market capitalization.

The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the Debt Settlement because the details of such settlement had not been confirmed at that time.

LUXXFOLIO is a forward-thinking financial technology company that, through LNI, is developing a blockchain based platform, powered by proprietary technology, to enable users to record the authenticity and provenance of luxury items, collectibles, and other non-traditional assets allowing them access to personal financial products that may not otherwise be available to them.
