Stinky Clothes Washer? You Could Be Owed Cash from Legal Settlement

Washing machines made by some of the largest manufacturers suffered this smelly flaw. Find out if you're due compensation and how to submit a claim.

Stinky Clothes Washer? You Could Be Owed Cash from Legal Settlement Photo (cc) by Michael_Lehet

I purchased a front-loading washing machine about 10 years ago. I loved it initially, but after using it for a few months the washer always smelled like mildew, regardless of how much I cleaned it or what I used to clean it. The smell eventually permeated my laundry as well. I ended up selling the washer, and I went back to a top-load washing machine.

It turns out I wasn’t alone dealing with stinky front-loading washer issues. Just check out these front-loading washing machine complaints on Consumer Affairs.

If you own a Whirlpool, Kenmore or Maytag front-loading washing machine manufactured between 2001 and 2010, you may be eligible for cash or other benefits as part of a recent class-action settlement with Whirlpool Corp. and Sears, Roebuck & Co.

The lawsuit claimed that certain front-loading washing machines failed to adequately self-clean, resulting in “mold or mildew buildup than can cause bad odors and ruined laundry.” Whirlpool and Sears maintain that only a small number of washers had problems.

Click here to see if your washing machine is included in the proposed settlement.

If you are included in the settlement, you may be eligible for a $50 cash payment, a 5 percent or 20 percent rebate toward the purchase of a new washer or dryer, or up to $500 in reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses for repairs or replacement due to a mold or odor problem with the washer.

If you want to be included in the settlement, click here to submit a claim form. All claim forms must be submitted by Oct. 11, 2016.

Check out for more information on the proposed settlement.

Whirlpool has admitted no wrongdoing. It calls the lawsuits an “attack” on American manufacturing. In a statement released to RTV6 in Indianapolis about the case, Whirlpool said:

“Only a small percentage of consumers ─ less than 4 percent ─ ever had a complaint about their washers.

Whirlpool feels strongly that this type of litigation is not good for consumers and distracts U.S. manufacturers, like Whirlpool, from providing consumers with innovative, energy-efficient products.”

2016 Technology May-rathon: Presenting Technical Data to the USPTO

May 13, 2016
04:30 PM - 05:30 PM

When the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) evaluates the obviousness of an invention, evidence referred to as ‘‘secondary considerations’’ must be considered.

Such evidence of nonobviousness includes unexpected and advantageous technical properties or results of an invention, evidence of commercial success long-felt but unsolved, needs in the relevant field, others’ failures, and industry copying. Presenting such evidence with nexus to an invention may not be easy when an invention involves complex technology but can be persuasive in establishing nonobviousness.

Please join us to discuss best practices in presenting evidence of secondary considerations to the USPTO. We will also discuss the factual determinations and analysis used to resolve questions of obviousness under both US and Japanese law.

Topics will include:

  • Review and comparison of US and Japanese legal standards for obviousness and secondary consideration
  • Recent cases regarding secondary consideration
  • Practical tips for how to present and argue secondary consideration to the USPTO

Please email Shonna Holmes or call +1.202.739.5739.

Call Our Houston Office For a Complimentary Consultation (713) 526-3989
The quality of candidates was very good. It was a difficult decision but Amy has proven to be a wonderful choice. We could not have found a better person. I would recommend your services to anyone looking for a nanny.
Sonia Breathwit, Business Owner

Benefits of Hiring a College Nanny

Houston is home to several top colleges and universities in the country. In fact, many of the local colleges and universities boast impressive early childhood education and teaching programs for aspiring educators.

At Morningside Nannies we actively recruit local college nannies to be represented by our agency. We’ve found that our local college nannies make the perfect part-time, temporary, on-call, back-up and summer childcare providers.

College Nannies Have Availability When Caregivers Are In High Demand

For parents seeking a nanny to help get the kids off to school and then care for them once they return home, a college nanny can be a great choice. Since college nannies typically have blocks of coursework during the day, they’re often available early mornings and late afternoons.

College nannies are also typically available evenings and weekends. This makes them prime candidates for babysitting job and event and hotel childcare. Since most college nannies have summer and school breaks free, many local college nannies work summer and school break nanny jobs.

College Nannies Have Experience and Education

College nannies who are perusing a degree in early childhood education or a related field tend to have extensive experience caring for or working with children. As these nannies continue their education they expand their knowledge base on early childhood development.

College Nannies Are Motivated to Gain Childcare Experience

For college nannies who are pursuing a degree in early childhood education, working as a nanny affords them extensive childcare experience. This valuable experience can transition into a hiring earning potential upon graduation.

College Nannies Can Assist with School Work

Most college nannies are confident helping children with school and homework, making them ideal tutors. College nannies can also double as summer nannies and ensure children stay both physically and academically fit over school breaks as well.

College Nannies May Desire to Live-In

For college nannies who don’t like to live on campus or really can’t afford to, working as a live-in nanny can be a welcome solution. College nannies provide childcare around their academic schedule and receive room and board as part of their compensation package.

Here’s How to Break the Chains of Facebook’s Algorithm and Get Both Sides of the Political Debate

Pop the bubble. Take control.

About 60 percent of Americans now get news through social media, according to the Pew Research Center, up from nearly 50 percent in 2012. Facebook is the most widely used platform, and it also leads the pack in terms of getting news to its users: two-thirds of Facebook users said they sought news on the site, Pew found.

But this could be introducing a big, hidden problem, especially during an election year. In May, the Wall Street Journal launched Blue Feed, Red Feed, an interactive that demonstrates just how different your Facebook feed can be depending on your political views. You can pick a topic, such as ISIS, or a public figure, like Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, and then see the kinds of posts you get, depending on how Facebook sees you. If Facebook classifies you as either very liberal or very conservative, it’s likely that you’ll only see news stories from outlets with similar political leanings. And you’re far less likely to see opposing or contradictory views. (You can actually find out how Facebook classifies you politically here.)

You live in a bubble. We all do. So how do you pop it?

In this latest installment from We the Voters web video series, we hear from several top media critics on how to tackle this problem. One of the most important takeaways is understanding how social media works: Unless you’re actively taking control of your feed, social platforms are designed to keep feeding you what you like. And when that happens, you can find yourself in an echo chamber with increasingly extreme voices—a phenomenon that WNYC’s Brooke Gladstone calls “incestuous amplification.”

“If you are in an echo chamber where you’re only speaking to like-minded people, it tends to heighten the extreme voices and marginalize the moderate ones,” Gladstone says. “It’s creating an atmosphere that’s incredibly intolerant online.”

But, all is not lost: Pew reports that most social-media users who consider their feeds one-sided actually crave alternate points of view. So what can you do to ensure you’re not stuck hearing the same voices again and again? The key is recognizing that it’s your responsibility to curate your own news feed.

Some tips from the commentators:

  • Try reading something you violently disagree with once a week, or checking a news source that’s completely different from what you usually read.
  • Find “deputy curators” who are experts in areas that you care about and see what they’re suggesting you read. Click a little further to read sources that aren’t your usual go-to’s.
  • Go past the headlines to read the full story.
  • Think before you retweet—is it worth it to amplify an extreme or hateful voice?

Stay tuned for more from We the Voters, a new digital, nonpartisan campaign to inform voters of key issues this election season.

Trusted Moving Company: 'Verified' Badge

Moving Companies Displaying Supplier Verified BadgeIn March 2014 we officially gave permission to our active moving company vendors to use our Supplier 'Verified' badge for display on their website. If you're a consumer shopping for a reputable moving company, you may have come across this badge and are wondering what it means. Let's first help you understand what a Supplier is and why we verify them.

What is A Moving Company Supplier?

Elite Moving Labor provides moving labor help nationwide to more than 23,000 customers each year. It would be nearly impossible to affordably staff and service every move with our own employees, so we rely on our approved Suppliers and licensed locations (similar to a franchise) to fulfill those obligations. A Supplier is essentially an independent local moving company that specializes in moving labor and is contractually obligated to our policies and procedures.

What Does the Badge Represent?

Verified Moving Company Badge The Supplier 'Verified' badge is intended to portray that the moving company is one of the best and most trusted in the area. As you'll read in a moment, we take our Supplier application process very seriously and we approve only the highest quality moving companies.

What Does 'Verified' Mean?

Our Supplier Management team thoroughly investigates every independent moving company that submits an application to provide moving services for us. This process often takes at least a week, sometimes even longer. The team tasked with reviewing Supplier applications must verify that the company meets a range of requirements before considering approval. Even companies that meet our requirements can still be declined if we feel that they don't share our company values.

A 'Verified' moving company has met the following criteria:

We require proof of general liability insurance with a minimum coverage amount of $500,000. However, most companies maintain a minimum of $1,000,000. We further verify that the insurance coverage is current and we track the coverage expiration date, requiring a renewed policy prior to the expiration date.

We research the moving company to determine if they have a track record of customer satisfaction and reliability. Eligible applicant companies must have a minimum of one year in business, although most have at least five years.

Authorized to do Business

Believe it or not, many movers that advertise themselves as real business are not. We require each moving company to submit proof of their authority to do business in their state which is then independently verified.

Ethical Business Practices

Our core company values represent quality, ethics, integrity and professionalism and we require those same characteristics in a Supplier company. To verify this requirement we interview the primary leadership of every applicant company and assess the characteristics that they possess.

Measuring Performance

The application and approval process is just the first step for our active Suppliers. We internally record, track and measure a variety of performance metrics to ensure that once approved, a Supplier company continues to meet our high standards.

Important Notice About Full Service Movers

Elite Moving Labor is a 'labor only' mover. This means that we do not provide a moving truck or any type of transportation. Because of this, we only verify state requirements for a company to provide moving labor services. Our Supplier 'Verified' badge in no way verifies the requirements of a Supplier company to provide a full service move.

If you are hiring a moving company to provide a truck and to transport your items then they are defined as a full service mover. It is recommended that you independently research their legal authority to provide a moving truck and transport your items. Visit the U.S. Department of Transportation for resources to help you find a full service mover.

Caleb Goodrum of Refuge Coffee Co.

M&R Specialty Trailers and Trucks

Custom Food Truck Manufacturer in Florida.

Why Call M&R Specialty?

Welcome to M&R Specialty Trailers and Trucks, custom food truck and concession manufacturer based out of Macclenny, Florida. At M&R Specialty, our food trucks work as hard as you do. Our goal is to produce the highest quality concessions, BBQ smokers, and specialty trailers on the market, on budget, and on time. We also offer free food truck designs and provide support after the sale. Although we’re located in Florida, customers located across the United States and internationally have turned to M&R Specialty Trailers and trucks to accomplish their custom build.

Call 904-397-0246 Now to Tell Us about Your Plans.

After hearing about what you want to do, we’ll briefly walk you through the steps of the design/build process and your options based on your budget. We’ll also explain how we partner with you to match what we build to the needs and requirements of your food service business. In other words, we will show you how we plan and build for long-term success.

Quality is the Base ingredient

With decades of work in the construction industry, the transition to building quality food trucks came naturally to co-owner and
shop coordinator Bob Pierson, whose focus has always been on quality above all else.

What does “quality” mean with M&R Specialty?

  • Quality is a commitment to being your one-stop full service provider (our 12,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility is located in Macclenny, Florida), from custom fabrication to ongoing service and maintenance.
  • Quality is being able (and willing) to give you the highest level of detail and attention on all types of projects, from made-from-scratch concessions to fixing problems both large and small that were caused by other providers.
  • Quality is a food truck or BBQ smoker that is designed and built to last, from the materials used in fabrication to ensuring that the end product follows health and building code requirements.

If You Can Dream It, We Can Build It.

Food trucks have been around for decades (some would say even longer) but the version we know of today has surged in popularity over the past decade. We’ve been in business long enough that it feels like we’ve been there since the beginning.

Co-owner and shop coordinator Bob Pierson originally acquired this business in 2007 after 45 years in the construction industry. Since then, the staff of M&R Specialty has together earned over 50 years of experience in building everything from coffee trucks, BBQ trailers and smokers, pizza trucks, and other specialty trailers. Our concessions are built custom to work the way you need them to. And go for as long as the lines for your food.

You dream it and we will make it happen. Call 904-397-0246 today. We look forward to hearing from you.

Superdrug now sells Health and Wellness products #Review

Superdrug now sells Health and Wellness products.

Superdrug is excited to announce a fantastic range of Health and Wellness products that are NEW and available in store and online from January 2017. They're perfect for those of us who are on a New Year health and fitness routine after overindulging at Christmas...

Over the past few weeks, I've been increasing my Protein intake and lowering my Sugar intake so these sounded perfect for me and I couldn't wait to give them all a try.

I was sent a little package containing some of what they sell to try for myself:

NEW Aussie Bodies Crunch Bars: I really liked these as they're super tasty little bars that are high in protein and fiber, low carbs and low calorie (under 150 calories per bar), low in sugar and even gluten free! They're the perfect little 'on the go' treat when you're in a rush.

Aussie Crunch bars are now the number one selling protein bars in Australia and are available exclusively now from Superdrug. They make perfect after gym snacks.

Available in Blueberry Almond, Coconut & Lemon, Cranberry and Honey Almond.

Light Bite bars & Light Bites Fruit Chips: I tried the Mango with Vanilla Yogurt fruit chips and the Quinoa, honey and pumpkin seeds bar. Both tasted pretty good and again made snacking a whole lot healthier. It's great to be able to snack and not feel guilty when eating.

Light Bites Bars are all less than 100 calories and make the perfect alternatives to full-fat snacks for those who are on the lookout for a healthier snacking option. They are high in protein and fibre, while still being low in calories. Light Bite bars come in 4 flavours; Quinoa, Honey and Pumpkin Seeds Superfood Seed Bar, Goji Berries, Quinoa and Chia Seeds Superfood Fruit Bar, Raw Strawberry with Cacao Nibs Raw Bar, Chocolate Cookie Caramel Flavour Bar. I only tried the one flavour but wouldn't mind trying some of the others too now.

Light Bites Fruit Chips come in 3 flavours, Mango with Vanilla Yoghurt Tasty Freeze Dried Fruit and Yoghurt Chips, Strawberry and Apple Crunchy Freeze Dried Fruit Chips, Apple with Strawberry Yoghurt Freeze Dried Fruit and Yoghurt Chips. At just 46 calories per packet, that's pretty good. I could quite happily swap my packet of crisps for one of these.

The Low sugar BooTea Brownies with 18 grams of added protein were pretty tasty and a nice swap for my usual chocolate biscuits. The Meal Replacement bars were delicious, I tried the Peanut Nougat flavour which I loved as it contained two of my favourite things.

The Mini Aussie Bars are High protein, low calorie (less than 99 calories per bar), low net carbs and low in sugar. These little protein powerhouses are smart indulgent treats to keep you feeling fit, focused & fabulous. They're Perfect for those watching their weight or wanting to have a healthy power to keep you going through out the day or a workout. They are available in Peanut Butter Caramel, Salted Caramel and toffee Crisp.

I think that it's great that I can now grab a healthy snack from Superdug when I pop in for my make up supplies or my daily treats. Lots of shops sell treats but not healthy ones so it makes a nice change to see this sort of snack on sale. I know I'd buy them in there.

Why not check out the rest of Superdrug's Healthy Snacking range online.

Disclosure: I received my Superdrug samples in return for an honest review.

Thriving young professionals group injects new life into AMCA

By |  August 20, 2018

Few industries are immune to the challenges that accompany an aging workforce. Industries and organizations lacking an influx of interested, talented young people can lose momentum and become less effective at meeting the needs of their constituents. That’s the scenario the mosquito control industry and the American Mosquito Control Association (AMCA) faced just a few short years ago.

In 2011, Dr. Roxanne Connelly, medical entomologist for the State of Florida and full professor at the University of Florida, was serving as president elect of the AMCA. During a meeting to discuss membership within the AMCA, Dr. Roxanne Connelly, Alex Chaskopoulou, and Capt. Stan Cope brainstormed ideas for addressing the lack of new and young AMCA members. They decided to form a special group that would encourage younger members, members who had never attended an annual meeting and students to become involved with the association. The AMCA Young Professionals was formed, and has grown every year since it started and continues to be a success story for AMCA.

AMVAC Environmental Products was the first sponsor of the Young Professionals (YP) Social which was a networking event involving the young professionals and the AMCA board. According to Peter Connelly, sales manager of vector control products for AMVAC Environmental Products, the energy at the YP Social was palpable during its first few years.

“It was amazing, electric and so much their (the YPs) own,” Connelly says. “It continues to be the most dynamic aspect of the AMCA annual meeting. We all recognized the importance of a group that would tap the fresh, young and exciting spirit of these newcomers and assist them in becoming the next leaders in their fields. It was also our hope that these young people would give back to the group by helping future young professionals.”

Connelly discussed the YPG with Jeff Alvis, business manager for AMVAC Environmental Products, and Alvis encouraged him to approach the AMCA and offer up AMVAC as a primary sponsor for the new group. A proposal from AMVAC was submitted and approved by the AMCA Board.

“Today, anyone in AMCA will tell you that the YPG is a very exciting group with in the AMCA,” Connelly says. “And, as our association membership is aging, we need these new, young members to step in and see that the AMCA continues to place people with the necessary skills in important positions. From the AMVAC perspective, our interest was in providing the funding that would allow the YPG to have the autonomy they needed to grow and to take on their own projects, and initiatives.”

Getting organized

At the 2013 YP Social AMCA board members invited older, more experienced people in the mosquito control industry to join the industry’s young professionals at the YPG social. That’s when Kristy Burkhalter, microbiologist at the Centers for Disease Control’s Division of Vector Borne Diseases, got involved.

Burkhalter, although quite young herself at the time, was one of those more seasoned professionals. Because she related well with college students and young professionals, AMCA board members asked her to be a member of the YP Advisory Group (YPAG) and serve as the advisor to the Young Professionals. From there, Burkhalter hit the ground running and developed a Young Professionals Committee, which includes a chair, co-chair, past-chair and committee members — all of whom are young professionals themselves.

“The YPAG meets once a year at the Washington Days conference in person to discuss overarching issues,” Burkhalter says. “I oversee the committee and help organize it. I’m also the liaison between the young professionals and the AMCA board, and I speak with the industry and try to get sponsorships for our initiatives and events.”

The goal of the AMCA Young Professionals Group is to create an environment in which young professionals in the mosquito control industry can feel welcome and create contacts with their peers and with seasoned professionals. Some of the group’s members are students, but most are already working in the mosquito control industry. By joining the YPG, they get access to relationships and professional skills that they may not have otherwise had.

Today, there are over 300 members in the AMCA YPG, with around 60 to 70 attending the AMCA annual meeting. Because most are scattered around the country, that meeting is their only chance to interact in person. However, Burkhalter and others have developed other ways for the group to remain active all year round.

“We have webinars once a month or every other month depending on availability,” Burkhalter says. “Some months, our webinars focus on professional skills like how to interview, build a resume, give a presentation and so on. We also offer a lot of mosquito biology and entomology-related topics. While they’re geared to our YPs, they’re actually open to anyone. We pay for the webinar service from our YP funds, and some states even make the webinars eligible for continuing education units (CEUs).”

From shadow to spotlight

Another significant benefit of YPG membership is the Industry Shadowing Program. Because most students and young professionals just beginning their careers don’t have the funds to travel to the AMCA’s annual meetings, Burkhalter and the YP advisory group tried to think of ways to sponsor those costs.

“Rather than just give the young professionals a travel stipend, we wanted the meeting to be more of a unique experience,” Burkhalter says. “That’s how we came up with the Industry Shadowing Program.”

In this program, the YPG pairs a young professional with a sponsor whom they can shadow throughout the meeting to learn the business side of the mosquito control industry by attending meetings, socials and dinners. Because many of the YPG’s members are in academia, they often don’t know much about the commercial side of the industry itself, how it works or what career paths exist. And, those young professionals who are already actively working in the industry can still benefit from the networking opportunities the program presents.

The AMCA’s YPG started out with seven Industry Shadowing Program sponsors and now has 15. As a part of the sponsorship, participating young professionals receive a $1,000 travel stipend in addition to invaluable industry insight. The group assigns sponsors to young professionals a few months before the AMCA meeting so they can get to know one another. Some young professionals even get the chance to interact with their sponsors outside the annual meeting by going on workplace tours or to other special events.

A real-life success story

Hannah Greenberg, a graduate student at the Vector-Borne Zoonoses Laboratory at Texas Tech University, is just one of the young professionals who has benefited from the shadowing program.

“My advisor at Texas Tech, Dr. Steve Presley, told me about the AMCA Young Professionals Group back in late 2016, and another graduate student in my laboratory group, Steve Peper, also encouraged me to join,” Greenberg says. “The networking opportunities sounded fantastic, and I was excited to apply for the Industry Shadowing Program as well.”

Greenberg says she didn’t go into her graduate program with the goal of becoming involved in the mosquito control industry. She had always been interested in public health and disease transmission and served in the Peace Corps in Senegal as a community public health volunteer.

“I was looking for a master’s program that was involved in public health, but in a more scientific capacity rather than the typical public health master’s track, which is typically more focused on policy and statistics,” Greenberg explains. “That’s when I discovered a master’s assistantship in Dr. Presley’s laboratory group at Texas Tech’s Vector-Borne Zoonosis Laboratory. Our group does a lot of work with mosquitoes, as they’re the primary vector for many different diseases worldwide. So, learning more about mosquito control through the AMCA’s YPG is helping me gain knowledge and insight about how to decrease the global burden of disease.”

Greenberg says that the YPG’s networking opportunities have given her a whole new perspective into the many different career opportunities available in her field. The annual YPG professional roundtable event gave her the chance to speak with experts in a personal, low-stress setting. And, she says that the YPG’s overall camaraderie has injected new life into the AMCA as an organization.

“You could say that it made the AMCA conference ‘buzz with excitement,’” Greenberg laughs apologetically at the pun. “Scientific fields in all disciplines have made tremendous advances over the past few years, and that applies to mosquito control as well. The dialogue that transpires between the professionals in this field and the YPGs is critical in helping us keep up with new technologies and implement them in useful and effective ways.”

AMVAC Environmental Products, including Connelly himself in the role of mentor, was Greenberg’s assigned YPG Shadowing Sponsor at the 2018 meeting in Kansas City. The entire AEP team has played a significant role in Greenberg’s professional development by introducing her to others in the mosquito control field with similar interests.

“Speaking with these other individuals was a wonderful opportunity to learn one-on-one from them about their daily work lives, as well as their backgrounds and what made them choose the mosquito control field,” Greenberg says. “The Industry Shadowing Program has also made it possible for me to attend the conference and gave me the chance to present my research. And that’s connected me with others in this field. I’m truly grateful for Peter’s guidance and AMVAC’s sponsorship.”

Connelly says it’s all very rewarding, both for himself personally and as a long-time member of the mosquito control community.

“Kristy (Burkhalter) has done a great job with this group,” Connelly says. “The YPs are smart, they know what they want and they are very eager to learn. The energy is really something. It’s truly an honor for AMVAC to be a part of it.

“I’m just tremendously grateful to work with Hannah and this group. There’s no shortage of enthusiasm, and we’re growing each and every year. It’s easy to see that these kids ‘get it,’ and they’re doing great things to improve their skills and become visible within their field of choice. I wholeheartedly encourage any interested young professionals to get involved with this group.”

Decking the Halls

Wreath-making at Mystic Seaport is a massive undertaking, as a dozen volunteers make 170 wreaths in time for Lantern Light Tours. Click this photo to launch a slideshow. Mystic Seaport photo/Joe Michael.

There are a lot of halls – and vessels and outbuildings and doors – to deck at Mystic Seaport. Work begins before the Halloween candy wrappers have even been swept off the Village sidewalks.

Made out of boxwood, spruce, fir, juniper, white pine, flat cedar, winter berry, 170 wreaths and 400 to 500 feet of garland are the stars of the Mystic Seaport holiday trimming. Garden Supervisor Julia Jankowski oversees a team of about a dozen volunteers who, over 18 total days, create all that out of piles of greenery and boxes of decorations. Gardener Steve Sisk makes nearly all the garland by hand.

The wreaths range in size from 10 inches (147) to 72 inches (the iconic decoration on Brant Point Light) and are hung throughout the Village and visitor centers in time for the opening of Lantern Lights Tours (this year on November 24).

Jankowski says she couldn’t do it without her volunteers, who gather in the greenhouse in Tuesday and Thursday mornings starting in early November. There are printouts of the list of wreaths that have to be created and where they will be hung. Some are always the same, like the star-shaped wreath for the Treworgy Planetarium, and the shell wreath on the Mallory building. Some are left up to the wreath-maker’s own creativity.

Thirteen of the wreaths are made from scratch using greens gathered from the Museum ground, and the rest arrive formed but in need of decoration.

Additionally, Christmas trees are placed atop the Museum’s signature vessels, the Charles W. Morgan, L.A. Dunton, and Joseph Conrad. A tree is also placed top the Breeches Buoy on the Village Green. The trees went up on November 20, placed by riggers Matthew Otto and Sarah Clement.

You can enjoy the holiday spirit at Mystic Seaport during the day or during Lantern Light Tours, which runs weekends beginning November 24 through December 23. Please note winter schedule begins Monday, November 27: the Museum will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday-Sunday, starting that week.

Should You Have Your Eyes Examined? - Ascension Wisconsin

Skip to Content

Published on January 23, 2017

Should You Have Your Eyes Examined?

Have you found yourself holding a restaurant menu further away from your face as you read it? Or, are you experiencing a headache every evening? You may need your eyes examined!

Your vision naturally changes as you age. However, only a trained professional can detect some of the serious eye conditions that can rob you of your sight.

15 Reasons Why You Need an Eye Exam

  1. Things in the distance appear unrecognizable.
  2. It’s hard to read.
  3. You see spots or flashes of light in your vision.
  4. Objects appear blurry, have wavy edges or halos.
  5. You see double.
  6. Your peripheral or side vision has changed.
  7. You don’t like to drive or walk at night because you can’t see clearly.
  8. You see shadows or experience curtain-like dark spots.
  9. Your eyes have physically changed.
  10. You can’t see colors correctly.
  11. Your eyes hurt.
  12. Your eyes feel dry.
  13. Your eyes water for no reason.
  14. You have headaches.
  15. Your eyes feel tired.

Optometrists & Ophthalmologists: What's the Difference?

  • Optometrists are doctors who examine your eyes for vision and health problems. They can write prescriptions for glasses, contact lenses and medications. Some may even offer vision therapy and low-vision eye care.
  • Ophthalmologists are doctors who specialize in the disease, conditions and vision of the eye. They can provide the same treatments as an optometrist, but they're licensed to perform eye surgery.

Understand Your Eyewear Options

After your exam, your eye doctor will give your prescription to an optician, who is trained to fit glasses. He or she will help you find a pair of glasses that fits the shape of your face and works with your prescription.

During your fitting, you will be able to choose from many frame styles and colors. When you’re choosing glasses, consider how to protect your eyes from the sun’s UVA and UVB rays. Currently, you have three options:

  1. Use clip-on sun lenses, which are worn over prescription glasses.
  2. Order prescription sunglasses to be used outdoors.
  3. Order transition lenses. These photochromic lenses darken when exposed to UV light and eliminate the need for two pairs of glasses.

Depending on your prescription and your eye care needs, you may be able to wear contacts. These thin plastic lenses fit over the pupil of your eye. Today’s soft single-vision and bi-focal contacts are comfortable and can be worn by most people. A person who wears contacts can simply purchase a pair of UVA and UVB blocking sunglasses.

No matter which type of corrective lens you choose, your world will be brighter and more vibrant as you see everything in clear definition.

Find an Eye Doctor

If you're have one or more of the eye problems listed above, schedule an appointment with an affiliated eye doctor today.

The latest revelation on the brewing duel between Kiss Daniel and his old label, G-Worldwide reveals that the singer was close to committing suicide as a result of the tough condition his old label made him work under. According to a close relative of the singer, Kiss Daniel had to be closely watched for a period of time having gave in to frustration over the stipends he got under G-Worldwide and the heavy constraints on his music operation, which altogether posed a self-risk to his life.

Our source who pleaded anonymity disclosed that Kiss Daniel was on suicide watch to ensure that the terrible situation did not lead him to the point of committing suicide. Our source further said the singer showed signs that he (Kiss Daniel) wanted to kill himself but they (his associates) have since been looking out for him.

All Domains  >  .mn Domain Names

.mn Domain Names

The .MN domain is a ccTLD (country code top level domain), and the Internet country code for Mongolia.

Why choose a .mn domain extension?

  • Along with Mongolia, .MN can stand for Minnesota.

  • You must be 18 years old to register a .MN domain name.

  • Create domain hacks like sole.MN, autu.MN, or conde.MN.

About .MN domain names

The .MN domain name presents a great opportunity for companies and private persons, who have economical, political or cultural relations with Mongolia. Local domain names give your company a professional image, which demonstrates proof of your commitment to local customers.

Although the .MN domain is extremely popular and gets much use in Mongolia, it is also used in Minnesota, where the state abbreviation is MN.

Safeguarding your personal identity is crucial today. This should be the same for your online identity, as well as that of your trademark. When it comes to business, protecting your assets is critical; that includes everything from your bankroll to your domains. If you fail to register your name in country code TLDs, it is only a matter of time before someone else does. Attempting to procure a domain after it is registered is much more labor-intensive than being the first to obtain it. Ensure that your competitors do not purchase your trademark, and register it yourself.

The draw of ccTLDs also includes registering short domains. Finding this type of domain in more common extensions such as .COM or .NET is a modern day treasure hunt. The possibility of acquiring a domain with a common or short word is much greater in ccTLDs because they are still growing.

About Mongolia

Located in Northern Asia, Mongolia lies between China and Russia. According to the 2013 census, the population was 2,892,876. The languages spoken in Mongolia are Khalkha Mongol, Turkic, and Russian.

Mongolia is famous for the conquest of the Eurasian empire under Chinggis Khan in the 13th century. Since that time, they have come under Chinese and Soviet rule. Today, the ex-Communist Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP) represent the prime minister and a majority of cabinet members.

Restrictions on .MN domain name registrations

Registrants of .MN domains must be 18 years of age. Registration for these domains is open to anyone, similar to .COM, .NET, or .ORG.

Two killed in Burundi after vote - Daily Nation

Two killed in Burundi after vote

Tuesday June 29 2010

Two people were killed overnight in Burundi and two others wounded in violence that followed a controversial presidential election in which incumbent Pierre Nkurunziza was the only candidate.

“In Muramvya province, men snuck into a home at midnight (2100 GMT) and shot dead a former soldier and his wife at point blank,” army spokesman Gaspard Baratuza told AFP.

He also said that four grenade attacks were reported in the capital Bujumbura and else where in the country, injuring two people.

Escaped unhurt

One of the attacks targeted the home of General Evariste Ndayishimiye, a key Nkurunziza adviser, who escaped unhurt. It was not immediately possible to ascertain whether all incidents were politically motivated but such violence has killed 10 and wounded more than 60 since an electoral dispute broke out more than a month ago. The violence occurred moments after a polling stations closed following an election that turned into a de facto referendum over Nkurunziza’s popularity.

All opposition parties had pulled out of the presidential race charging that the May 24 local council polls.

Violence has surged since and Nkurunziza’s erstwhile presidential rival and former rebel Agathon Rwasa has gone into hiding. (AFP)

RHODIA MANN: Courage and hard work that left an indelible mark - Daily Nation

Courage and hard work that left an indelible mark

My father, Igor Mann, was a famous veterinarian in Poland before World War II.

When Adolf Hitler invaded Poland in September 1939, he fled to Romania and quickly established a new clinic in Bucharest.

He met my mother, Erica, who had studied architecture at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris. It was love at first sight, and within weeks they were married.

Six months later, they were forced to flee, embarking on an epic journey in search of a new homeland. It would take two years and 7,000 miles for them to find one.

They were ferried by boat across the Danube one night, then travelled through Bulgaria and across the Caspian Sea to Turkey.

A boat took them to Cyprus, where (like many boat people of today) they were turned away. The boat continued to Palestine, where they spent a year before boarding a British ship heading for South Africa.

My father was taken seriously ill and my parents were offloaded. When he had recovered, a long journey northwards took them to what was then Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia).

They spent a year in a refugee camp before my father was flown up to Athi River, installed in a mud hut, and given three months in which to “prove himself useful to the British Crown”.

He immediately made himself indispensable and, in September 1942, my mother was permitted to join him. I was born just one month after her arrival.

My father became a meat inspector at what was then Liebigs (now the Kenya Meat Commission), producing corned beef for the British Army in Burma and North Africa.

He became interested in diseases that were transmitted from animal to man and this was to become the focus for his future. While he inspected carcasses, my mother assisted him in the laboratory.

Anxious to test her architectural skills, she found employment in the newly-formed Town Planning Department, travelling to Nairobi. She planned the early housing estates such as Jericho and Ofafa.

In 1952, my father found work with the Department of Veterinary Services at Kabete. We left Athi River behind us and moved into Nairobi.

In 1963, my father was (ironically) awarded an MBE by the British Government “for services to the Crown”.

Two years later, he founded the Animal Health and Industries Training Institute (AHITI) at Kabete and became its first director.

In 1969, he travelled to Brno in the Czech Republic to receive a medal from his former university for outstanding achievements in the field of veterinary medicine. In 1973, he handed AHITI over to a Kenyan counterpart.

He worked as a consultant for the World Health Organisation and the Food and Agriculture Organisation, as global coordinator of research into tropical diseases transmitted from animal to man and became a UNDP Global award winner.

As for my mother, she became editor of Build, Kenya’s first architectural magazine. Before her death in 2006, she was made Architect Laureate of Kenya.

Igor and Erica rapidly formed around themselves a coterie of intelligentsia, drawn from all walks of life — and more importantly — all races.

Having suffered so greatly themselves, they would not tolerate any form of discrimination. Afternoon tea at “The Mann’s” became an institution.
Apart from professional colleagues, artists, and actors, Kenya’s young politicians found a warm welcome there.

The core of Nairobi city centre is still as originally planned, although I am glad my mother cannot see the current chaos prevailing in our once “Green City in the Sun”. The original housing estates still exist, although without basic infrastructure.

AHITI still trains 300 students each year, drawn from the entire East African region.

Graduates provide invaluable services as para-professional fieldworkers. Sadly, the institute has been much neglected and is now in urgent need of structural repairs.

Following his death in 1986, my father’s ashes were scattered on the ornamental map of Africa at AHITI.

His portrait still hangs in the current principal’s office as a memorial to better times.

Both my parents fought their way through the discriminatory British administration system, which referred to them as “bloody foreigners” and refused to recognise their qualifications.

Despite these tremendous setbacks, they were determined to succeed. Their contribution to both colonial and independent Kenya was immeasurable. They were great visionaries who, by dint of discipline, courage, and endless effort, left lasting and indelible legacies.

Where are the visionaries of today, I ask? It is time for another generation to prove its mettle and carry Kenya into the best possible future.

Rhodia Mann is an expert on Samburu culture. She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in recognition of her research. As a jewellery designer, she spent 40 years collecting rare beads in far-flung lands. Her guidebook, Ushanga: The Story of Beads in Africa, is available in Nairobi bookshops.

Interview: We meet modern course designer, Kyle Phillips

The Scoop

The creator of The Grove and Kingsbarns tells Dan Murphy his design philosophies

Kyle Phillips is the man who created Kingsbarns, Dundonald and The Grove. And that is in this country alone.

He has over 30 years’ experience designing courses, mainly in Europe, and is now president of Kyle Phillips Golf Course Design in California.

He worked on the restorations of Valderrama, in Spain, Morfontaine, in France, and Hilversum, in the Netherlands.

He designed Verdura, in Sicily., the Links and Lake courses at the PGA of Sweden’s National Golf Resort and Abu Dhabi’s stunning Yas Links.

He returned to The Grove, near Watford, some 10 years after this impeccably presented and thoughtful parkland course first opened. So what are the design philosophies of one of the modern game’s most notable architects?

Are your courses more the result of what you wanted to build or a design brief?
If you were the owner and you came to me and said ‘Just go build it’, I would worry about it, I wouldn’t be comfortable, not because I like to be told what to do, because I could certainly go out and do a lot of things but it’s like I give birth to this thing, this baby is born, and then you have to raise it as the owner. So, to me, it’s very important that you, as the owner, are prepared to raise it properly.

At the same time, you can have an owner that gets too engaged. If a club calls me and says ‘we would like you to come look at our golf course’ and I say ‘OK, what are you thinking about doing?’, then they tell you every hole that they want done and I say, ‘OK let me get you a contractor, you don’t need me, you’ve already decided what you want!’

How do you bring a design to life?
I always do images. You can use words but until people see an image, because you can talk about golf, I can talk about golf but what you’re thinking of and what I’m thinking about is, like you’d say I want a traditional golf course, well I have a whole series of course pictures and then you’d say well which one of these do you want? Because they’re clearly, to the eye very different.

Is the location and quality of the site all-important?
I think some people have taken great sites and made good golf courses others have taken great sites and made great golf courses.

I think if you look at the Grove, it’s not a bad site but not a great site. Kingsbarns is a good site, beautiful coastline, but it all had to be made, as did Abu Dhabi (Yas Links).

I think that’s really become something that people appreciate; you started with a field and you come out here.

All sites have beauty in their own way but some of the sites that you’d love to get are the ones where you just clear the vegetation, put in an irrigation system and grass.

Looks-wise, I’m trying to design courses that look like they belong and make sense in that environment. I try to impose my style or a style on them.

I’ll sit with the owners and say ‘ok, what’s our story? You’re going to sit and raise your glass and say “we’re opening this place today and here is what we created”, so tell me what you’re going to say, give me your speech now’, because some might say ‘oh I want a championship golf course’, but what does that mean to them?

You make them dig a little more and usually what I find is they struggle to define what they want. They kind of know, so you try to peel down and make them work a little harder and you help them define it and then we all collectively make decisions based on, usually, an image board.

Tell us about the original brief and plan for The Grove.
Initially there was no concept about what kind of course they wanted designed. They certainly were not at all interested in championship being the mantra. Hotel guests and corporate guests were first and foremost.

That was what made it so ironic to have the WGC here, I mean it was the best field ever to play in the UK. At the British Open, you have a huge field, so it’s diluted, but you get the top 50 players in the world and then you put them on a course that wasn’t designed for that traffic.
Normally with pro events, you start and you work your way up, but to start with that event is like ‘oh my gosh’.

The course held up well, Tiger was playing great and just blew away. I mean, Poulter was -15 which was a good second place score and a fair second place score, but Woods, the shots that he hit out there were just mind blowing, he was just on it to a bizarre level.

Nowhere in the UK is presented in better year-round condition than The Grove. Why is that?
It’s built on gravel. Drainage is a huge part of what we do, so to try to hold the top soil, we had to screen the top soil – the top soil was short – but we made it happen and it drains pretty well.
You make the drainage system not miss the gravel so there is a good amount of drainage all the way through which really helps it long term.

I’d like to say there is a big secret thing that we did but it was just essentially a well-constructed golf course.

It’s also had good maintenance practices. A lot of courses are wet not because of how they’re constructed but because thatch hasn’t been removed and things like that.

I won’t name any sites around here, but that’s happened in the UK with new projects and people are saying ‘Oh we need to rebuild this and we need to do that’.

Long-term planning pays off, because it’s easy in year one, year two, year three to get away and be a bit relaxed, to defer maintenance and it doesn’t catch up to you until year four and year five and now you’re still talking about the good condition of the golf course 11 years in.

To what extent are architects to blame for longer courses?
From the ladies’ tees and the front tees, the courses are the same today as they were 30 years ago because the technology is all about clubhead speed.

Definitely the difference between the front tees and the back tees, though, is just ridiculous. The golf game is growing ten per cent just in the time. What used to be a championship course now has to be 10 per cent longer and that 10 per cent only applies to the chosen few.

How important is length when discussing a new course?
We do talk a lot about length. Look at St Andrews: if you look at the scorecard it looks long, but it really plays a lot shorter because it only has two par 3s and it only has two par 5s. So 7,000 yards with six 3s and six 5s plays a lot longer.

Also, with 800 yards of golf course, you could make a 480 par four and a 320 par four or make two 400s.  So you have to look and say ‘Oh OK, he’s got a bunch of 40-yard holes’ and then you see another one that’s got the little, short drivable one which can be a super-fun hole to play and then it’s also got the long 480 hole.

What I’m trying to do is the 480, 320 option, because that’s what really makes the game fun for the people and even for the professionals. They love that.

Francisco de Zurbarán

1598 - 1664

Between the departure of Velázquez to Madrid in 1623 and the rise to prominence of Murillo in the 1650s, Zurbarán was the leading painter in Seville. His pictures were mostly painted for Spanish religious orders. The distinctive style of Zurbarán was influenced by the realism of Caravaggio and his followers. His best work is both very direct and intensely spiritual.

Zurbarán was born in Fuente de Cantos, near Badajoz. In 1617, after training in Seville, he returned to Llerena in his native province. By 1629 he was back in Seville, where he became the city's official painter.

In 1634 he was in Madrid painting mythologies for the Buen Retiro, Philip IV's new palace, perhaps through the intervention of his friend Velázquez. His last years were not so successful and he died in Madrid in poverty.

What we're doing this season

Scrub bashing on Sham Castle Down

Winter is a time of preparation on the Skyline. Paths have been prepared through the autumn for the wetter weather, fields have been raked and everything checked to make sure its ship shape.

Late winter - early spring

This season, the main task is:

Grassland habitat management (or scrub bashing)

Scrub bashing is the colloquial name describing the removal of scrub from grassland. Scrub is any ‘woody’ plant, from brambles through to small trees that is spreading over grassland and engulfing it. Every winter Rangers and volunteers of the Bath Skyline clear large amounts of scrub from the rare calcareous limestone grassland pastures that have survived the agricultural changes of the 20th century.

The two notable pastures are Rainbow Wood fields, a set of four fields on the slopes between Prior Park and Rainbow Wood, and Sham Castle Down, a large area below Bathwick Wood and Sham Castle.

The ‘species rich’ wildflower grassland these pastures have in abundance is extremely rare, well over 90% nationally having been lost since around the 1930’s. This is due to changes in our agricultural landscape, such as ploughing of old ‘permanent pastures’, fertilising and spraying with chemicals.

Unmanaged grassland is subject to a process called succession, the gradual process by which ecosystems change and develop over time. Unmanaged grassland would see the gradual introduction of scrub, these species would eventually dominate, tree species would grow bigger, and the final habitat (the climax community) would be woodland.

By scrub bashing, we are halting succession and maintaining a mosaic of rich wildlife habitat. Our conservation grazing programme also helps to prevent the growth of these woody species. Look out for the Skyline rangers and volunteers scrub bashing over the next few months.

We're finishing up:

This winter, a 90-metre section in Bathwick Fields, above Richen’s Orchard, has been laid by Rangers and volunteers of the Skyline team. Hedge laying is always carried out in the winter as the sap is low and trees are dormant; this must be completed by early March when the bird nesting season starts.

A section of hedge is laid on the Skyline each year as part of hedgerow management. If a part of hedgerow is left unmanaged, it will continue to grow upwards and outwards and will eventually become a line of trees.

Guinea-Bissau - Transportation

Transportation facilities remain undeveloped, a factor that has hampered economic development as a whole, especially the exploitation of mineral deposits in the interior. There is no rail line in Guinea-Bissau. In 2002, the country had an estimated 4,400 km (2,735 mi) of roads, of which 453 km (282 mi) were tarred. These, however, consisted mostly of military penetration roads unfit for regular passenger and commercial traffic.

Bissau is the main port; expansion and modernization projects costing at least $48 million were undertaken there in the early 1980s. Secondary ports and harbors include Buba, Cacheu, and Farim. Bissau is also the site of a modern international airport, while several aerodromes and landing strips serve the interior. In 2001 there were 28 airports, of which 3 had paved runways. Linhas Aéreas da Guiné-Bissau (LIA), the national airline, also has service to Dakar, Senegal. Transportes Aéreos Portuguéses (TAP), Air Guinée, Aeroflot, Air Senegal, Cape Verde Airlines, and Air Algérie provide international service. In 1997, it carried 21,000 passengers on domestic and international flights.
