Past Events
Public Lecture - Peak Water
The popular notion that the next big war will be over water is explored by Alexander Bell, the author of a new popular history book 'Peak Water: Civilisation and the world's water crisis'.
Alexander Bell sets water use in its historical context, showing the intimate link between the control of water and the growth of civilisation, and explaining why the current exhaustion of water reserves is an inevitable result of being civilised. Leaping from Mesopotamian ditches to the Goethe's poetry and on to the gaudy excess of Dubai, Bell ultimately turns the topic over to the audience, who can decide for themselves whether war is inevitable.
Alex Bell was a BBC presenter and correspondent who has worked in America, Asia and Southern Africa. After a period of writing speeches for a leading politician, he wrote for The Observer and The Herald newspapers. He then set up the successful allmediascotland.com, before dedicating his time to the issue of water. His book 'Peak Water' will be published by Luath Press Ltd in November 2009.
This public lecture is open to all and free to attend.
This public lecture is co-sponsored by the Institute of Advanced Study and Palatinate.

The U.S. trade deficit rose nearly $1 billion in October, reaching the highest level in a decade as imports outpaced declining exports, according to federal data released Thursday.
October's trade deficit was the biggest since the gap reached $60.1 billion in October 2008. The deficit, a crucial focus of President TrumpDonald John TrumpBubba Wallace to be driver of Michael Jordan, Denny Hamlin NASCAR team Graham: GOP will confirm Trump's Supreme Court nominee before the election Southwest Airlines, unions call for six-month extension of government aid MORE's protectionist trade agenda, has risen 11.4 percent since October 2017.
Trump has sought massive reductions to the trade deficit, which he uses as a barometer for the fairness of the country's trade terms with other nations. Economists consider the gap important, but insufficient to paint the full picture of U.S. trade relations.
While the trade deficit reflects the U.S's heavy reliance on cheaper foreign imports, it fails to consider other trade venues where the country makes a surplus.
Trump has attempted to narrow the deficit through tariffs on $250 billion of Chinese goods, and has also targeted imported steel and aluminum. China, the European Union, Canada and Mexico have responded with import taxes on U.S. agricultural goods, plunging dozens of family farms into severe financial danger.
Despite Trump's efforts, U.S. imports increased 0.2 percent from September, rising $600 million to $266.5 billion in October. Exports fell $300 million from September, to $211 billion — a 0.1 percent drop.
U.S. food and agricultural exports fell by $700 million in October, with soybean shipments — a major target of retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. — dropping $800 million, a 46.8 percent decline.
The report comes as mounting trade tensions between the U.S. and China roil global financial markets and fuel concerns of an imminent economic slowdown. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged by almost 500 points Thursday morning, the first day of trading after U.S. authorities secured the arrest of a Chinese technology company executive.
Trump also spooked Wall Street on Tuesday when, in a series of tweets, he declared himself "a Tariff Man" who would raise import taxes on China if Beijing does not offer major trade concessions. The Trump administration is asking Beijing to drop tariffs on U.S. autos, open up markets to foreign investors and halt intellectual property theft from U.S. manufacturers and tech firms.

Challenge: An organization with long-tenured employees had hundreds of different job titles and were receiving significant complaints about internal equity.
Solution Deployed: We conducted a complete assessment of the compensation program. As a part of this assessment, we identified necessary changes that needed to be made to the pay plan. More than $500,000 in annual salary expenses were going to employees who had been promoted and then demoted when they were unable to perform at the higher level. These individuals continued to stay at the higher pay grade and continued to earn pay increases every year. Although the CEO had previously committed to never reducing pay grades or capping employee pay, he realized a change was desperately needed and decided to re-think his position.
Pay ranges were introduced, and some individuals had several small pay reductions spaced over several years. The affected employees were disappointed but realized that they had benefited for many years from the higher pay levels. Several employees expressed surprise that the company waited so long to correct their pay.
Business Value Delivered: The organization was able to use these movements to market rates to incentivize and reward others increasing team morale.

Charcot Marie Tooth Generally affects the lower extremity in more advanced cases. please read at the bottom of this page general on CMT information from National Institutes of Health on the topic.
But first here is what we can do to help control the effects of CMT on the feet. Below is a classic picture of a charcot marie tooth foot. The patients generally come in with an extremely high arch that is thought to be caused by an imbalance of muscles secondary to a nerve disease. the muscles on the outside of the foot that pull the foot foot outward into whats called pronation weaken. The muscles on the inside of the foot that pull up the arch and turn the foot inward ( called supination) overpower the outside muscles ( peroneal muscles, there are two of them , the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis ) hence raising the arch. See the picture below.
Now take a look at the image below, the heel is inverted ( the arrow points to the inside of the arch, we call that the medial side ). So as the arch increses in height the heel goes into an inverted position called a varus heel, this makes for an unstable foot during walking which makes the patient prone to ankle sprains.
By understanding the above pictures and the reasons for those deformities to happen you will understand the surgical procedures we use to fix the foot.
We need to cut some bone out of the middle of the foot in the shape of a wedge taking more from the top, this will lower the arch architecture. This procedure is called the Cole Osteotomy.
Then we need to address the heel varus position, this is done by a wedge taken from the outside of the heel bone - calcaneus. This is called the Dwyer Osteotomy and puts the heel straighter in relation to the ground.
Lastly to correct the muscle imbalance we perform either a posterior tibial tendon transfer of an anterior tibial tendon transfer to balance the muscles forces.
Now in cases of deformity AND severe arthritis to the foot joints, in those cases we fuse the joints with a procedure called a triple arthrodesis. the procedures mentioned before are joint sparing meaning that the function of the joints is left intact, the fusion (arthrodesis) removes the joints and their motion.
What is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease?
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is one of the most common inherited neurological disorders, affecting approximately 1 in 2,500 people in the United States. The disease is named for the three physicians who first identified it in 1886 - Jean-Martin Charcot and Pierre Marie in Paris, France, and Howard Henry Tooth in Cambridge, England. CMT, also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) or peroneal muscular atrophy, comprises a group of disorders that affect peripheral nerves. The peripheral nerves lie outside the brain and spinal cord and supply the muscles and sensory organs in the limbs. Disorders that affect the peripheral nerves are called peripheral neuropathies.
What are the symptoms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease?
The neuropathy of CMT affects both motor and sensory nerves. (Motor nerves cause muscles to contract and control voluntary muscle activity such as speaking, walking, breathing, and swallowing.) A typical feature includes weakness of the foot and lower leg muscles, which may result in foot drop and a high-stepped gait with frequent tripping or falls. Foot deformities, such as high arches and hammertoes (a condition in which the middle joint of a toe bends upwards) are also characteristic due to weakness of the small muscles in the feet. In addition, the lower legs may take on an "inverted champagne bottle" appearance due to the loss of muscle bulk. Later in the disease, weakness and muscle atrophy may occur in the hands, resulting in difficulty with carrying out fine motor skills (the coordination of small movements usually in the fingers, hands, wrists, feet, and tongue).
Onset of symptoms is most often in adolescence or early adulthood, but some individuals develop symptoms in mid-adulthood. The severity of symptoms varies greatly among individuals and even among family members with the disease. Progression of symptoms is gradual. Pain can range from mild to severe, and some people may need to rely on foot or leg braces or other orthopedic devices to maintain mobility. Although in rare cases, individuals may have respiratory muscle weakness, CMT is not considered a fatal disease and people with most forms of CMT have a normal life expectancy.
What causes Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease?
A nerve cell communicates information to distant targets by sending electrical signals down a long, thin part of the cell called the axon. In order to increase the speed at which these electrical signals travel, the axon is insulated by myelin, which is produced by another type of cell called the Schwann cell. Myelin twists around the axon like a jelly-roll cake and prevents the loss of electrical signals. Without an intact axon and myelin sheath, peripheral nerve cells are unable to activate target muscles or relay sensory information from the limbs back to the brain.
CMT is caused by mutations in genes that produce proteins involved in the structure and function of either the peripheral nerve axon or the myelin sheath. Although different proteins are abnormal in different forms of CMT disease, all of the mutations affect the normal function of the peripheral nerves. Consequently, these nerves slowly degenerate and lose the ability to communicate with their distant targets. The degeneration of motor nerves results in muscle weakness and atrophy in the extremities (arms, legs, hands, or feet), and in some cases the degeneration of sensory nerves results in a reduced ability to feel heat, cold, and pain.
The gene mutations in CMT disease are usually inherited. Each of us normally possesses two copies of every gene, one inherited from each parent. Some forms of CMT are inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, which means that only one copy of the abnormal gene is needed to cause the disease. Other forms of CMT are inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion, which means that both copies of the abnormal gene must be present to cause the disease. Still other forms of CMT are inherited in an X-linked fashion, which means that the abnormal gene is located on the X chromosome. The X and Y chromosomes determine an individual's sex. Individuals with two X chromosomes are female and individuals with one X and one Y chromosome are male.
In rare cases the gene mutation causing CMT disease is a new mutation which occurs spontaneously in the individual's genetic material and has not been passed down through the family.
What are the types of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease?
There are many forms of CMT disease, including CMT1, CMT2, CMT3, CMT4, and CMTX. CMT1, caused by abnormalities in the myelin sheath, has three main types. CMT1A is an autosomal dominant disease that results from a duplication of the gene on chromosome 17 that carries the instructions for producing the peripheral myelin protein-22 (PMP-22). The PMP-22 protein is a critical component of the myelin sheath. Overexpression of this gene causes the structure and function of the myelin sheath to be abnormal. Patients experience weakness and atrophy of the muscles of the lower legs beginning in adolescence; later they experience hand weakness and sensory loss. Interestingly, a different neuropathy distinct from CMT1A called hereditary neuropathy with predisposition to pressure palsy (HNPP) is caused by a deletion of one of the PMP-22 genes. In this case, abnormally low levels of the PMP-22 gene result in episodic, recurrent demyelinating neuropathy. CMT1B is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the gene that carries the instructions for manufacturing the myelin protein zero (P0), which is another critical component of the myelin sheath. Most of these mutations are point mutations, meaning a mistake occurs in only one letter of the DNA genetic code. To date, scientists have identified more than 120 different point mutations in the P0 gene. As a result of abnormalities in P0, CMT1B produces symptoms similar to those found in CMT1A. The less common CMT1C, CMT1D, and CMT1E, which also have symptoms similar to those found in CMT1A, are caused by mutations in the LITAF, EGR2, and NEFL genes, respectively.
CMT2 results from abnormalities in the axon of the peripheral nerve cell rather than the myelin sheath. It is less common than CMT1. CMT2A, the most common axonal form of CMT, is caused by mutations in Mitofusin 2, a protein associated with mitochondrial fusion. CMT2A has also been linked to mutations in the gene that coses for the kinesin family member 1B-beta protein, but this has not been replicated in other cases. Kinesins are proteins that act as motors to help power the transport of materials along the cell. Other less common forms of CMT2 have been recently identified and are associated with various genes: CMT2B (associated with RAB7), CMT2D (GARS). CMT2E (NEFL), CMT2H (HSP27), and CMT2l (HSP22).
CMT3 or Dejerine-Sottas disease is a severe demyelinating neuropathy that begins in infancy. Infants have severe muscle atrophy, weakness, and sensory problems. This rare disorder can be caused by a specific point mutation in the P0 gene or a point mutation in the PMP-22 gene.
CMT4 comprises several different subtypes of autosomal recessive demyelinating motor and sensory neuropathies. Each neuropathy subtype is caused by a different genetic mutation, may affect a particular ethnic population, and produces distinct physiologic or clinical characteristics. Individuals with CMT4 generally develop symptoms of leg weakness in childhood and by adolescence they may not be able to walk. Several genes have been identified as causing CMT4, including GDAP1 (CMT4A), MTMR13 (CMT4B1), MTMR2 (CMT4B2), SH3TC2 (CMT4C), NDG1 (CMT4D), EGR2 (CMT4E), PRX (CMT4F), FDG4 (CMT4H), and FIG4 (CMT4J).
CMTX iscaused by a point mutation in the connexin-32 gene on the X chromosome. The connexin-32 protein is expressed in Schwann cells-cells that wrap around nerve axons, making up a single segment of the myelin sheath. This protein may be involved in Schwann cell communication with the axon. Males who inherit one mutated gene from their mothers show moderate to severe symptoms of the disease beginning in late childhood or adolescence (the Y chromosome that males inherit from their fathers does not have the connexin-32 gene). Females who inherit one mutated gene from one parent and one normal gene from the other parent may develop mild symptoms in adolescence or later or may not develop symptoms of the disease at all.
How is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease diagnosed?
Diagnosis of CMT begins with a standard medical history, family history, and neurological examination. Individuals will be asked about the nature and duration of their symptoms and whether other family members have the disease. During the neurological examination a physician will look for evidence of muscle weakness in the individual's arms, legs, hands, and feet, decreased muscle bulk, reduced tendon reflexes, and sensory loss. Doctors look for evidence of foot deformities, such as high arches, hammertoes, inverted heel, or flat feet. Other orthopedic problems, such as mild scoliosis or hip dysplasia, may also be present. A specific sign that may be found in people with CMT1 is nerve enlargement that may be felt or even seen through the skin. These enlarged nerves, called hypertrophic nerves, are caused by abnormally thickened myelin sheaths.
If CMT is suspected, the physician may order electrodiagnostic tests. This testing consists of two parts: nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG). During nerve conduction studies, electrodes are placed on the skin over a peripheral motor or sensory nerve. These electrodes produce a small electric shock that may cause mild discomfort. This electrical impulse stimulates sensory and motor nerves and provides quantifiable information that the doctor can use to arrive at a diagnosis. EMG involves inserting a needle electrode through the skin to measure the bioelectrical activity of muscles. Specific abnormalities in the readings signify axon degeneration. EMG may be useful in further characterizing the distribution and severity of peripheral nerve involvement.
Genetic testing is available for some types of CMT and results are usually enough to confirm a diagnosis. In addition, genetic counseling is available to assist individuals in understanding their condition and plan for the future.
If all the diagnostic work-up in inconclusive or genetic testing comes back negative, a neurologist may perform a nerve biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. A nerve biopsy involves removing a small piece of peripheral nerve through an incision in the skin. This is most often done by removing a piece of the nerve that runs down the calf of the leg. The nerve is then examined under a microscope. Individuals with CMT1 typically show signs of abnormal myelination. Specifically, "onion bulb" formations may be seen which represent axons surrounded by layers of demyelinating and remyelinating Schwann cells. Individuals with CMT1 usually show signs of axon degeneration. Recently, skin biopsy has been used to study unmyelinated and myelinated nerve fibers in a minimally invasive way, but their clinical use in CMT has not yet been established.
How is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease treated?
There is no cure for CMT, but physical therapy, occupational therapy, braces and other orthopedic devices, and even orthopedic surgery can help individuals cope with the disabling symptoms of the disease. In addition, pain-killing drugs can be prescribed for individuals who have severe pain.
Physical and occupational therapy, the preferred treatment for CMT, involves muscle strength training, muscle and ligament stretching, stamina training, and moderate aerobic exercise. Most therapists recommend a specialized treatment program designed with the approval of the person's physician to fit individual abilities and needs. Therapists also suggest entering into a treatment program early; muscle strengthening may delay or reduce muscle atrophy, so strength training is most useful if it begins before nerve degeneration and muscle weakness progress to the point of disability.
Stretching may prevent or reduce joint deformities that result from uneven muscle pull on bones. Exercises to help build stamina or increase endurance will help prevent the fatigue that results from performing everyday activities that require strength and mobility. Moderate aerobic activity can help to maintain cardiovascular fitness and overall health. Most therapists recommend low-impact or no-impact exercises, such as biking or swimming, rather than activities such as walking or jogging, which may put stress on fragile muscles and joints.
Many CMT patients require ankle braces and other orthopedic devices to maintain everyday mobility and prevent injury. Ankle braces can help prevent ankle sprains by providing support and stability during activities such as walking or climbing stairs. High-top shoes or boots can also provide support for weak ankles. Thumb splints can help with hand weakness and loss of fine motor skills. Assistive devices should be used before disability sets in because the devices may prevent muscle strain and reduce muscle weakening. Some individuals with CMT may decide to have orthopedic surgery to reverse foot and joint deformities.
What research is being done?
The NINDS supports research on CMT and other peripheral neuropathies in an effort to learn how to better treat, prevent, and even cure these disorders. Ongoing research includes efforts to identify more of the mutant genes and proteins that cause the various disease subtypes, efforts to discover the mechanisms of nerve degeneration and muscle atrophy with the hope of developing interventions to stop or slow down these debilitating processes, and efforts to find therapies to reverse nerve degeneration and muscle atrophy.
One promising area of research involves gene therapy experiments. Research with cell cultures and animal models has shown that it is possible to deliver genes to Schwann cells and muscle. Another area of research involves the use of trophic factors or nerve growth factors, such as the hormone androgen, to prevent nerve degeneration. Vitamin C has been studied in CMT1A and the results of a multicentric trial are due soon. Curcumin, a component of curry, is currently being studied as a treatment strategy in an animal model of CMT1B..

Guy Proposes To Girlfriend On Hot Air Balloon And Then Braces For Impact During Crash Landing
Photo: YouTube
We're sure in some places this is considered good luck, but we're just not exactly sure where that is.
According to Mashable, Christine Peters said she had always wanted to take a flight on a hot air balloon, so her boyfriend decided to take her on one in Alberta last week. And Martin is apparently quite a gentleman because he also decided to bring a ring along for the ride and propose to her once they were in the air.
Naturally, Peters said yes. After all, he is obviously a good listener and quite the romantic fellow. Peters said the trip was "amazing," complete with everything that you would want to see and beautiful weather. Oh, and a crash landing.
"Well, we're down!"
Thankfully, nobody was injured as the wind picked up and threw them and the basket into several trees and then dragged them along the ground in a farmer's field for some 200 feet.
Peters and Martin are actually in good spirits about it, laughing it off and calling it one of their "adventures." Personally, I think that's the right call, as it obviously could have been worse. After all, she could have said no.

Dont Afraid The Traditional 3 Problem You Will Meet In Dye Sublimation Printing
Category : Blog , Tips & Tricks
As a sublimation paper manufacture, we will help customer solve many problem during they do the printing, the main problem we think are as follow, its can solve, so dont worry.
The drying time is related with the inkjet sublimation paper printing temperature and the relative humidity, normally the recommended printing temperature is 25℃ (77℉) . And relative humidity is 53%.If the temperature is below 25℃ (77℉) , there's no enough heat for the dye sublimation paper to dry very fast . On the other hand , if the relative humidity is higher than 53%, which means there are too much moisture in the air, it's like in the raining days ,the clothes always dry very slowly. When you meet with those two problem, one extra heat drier or dehumidifier will help you solve the problem very easily. Most of the new printers ,like EPSON, it has a build-in drier in the printer itself, if you are still using the old machine (plotter), it's better to set up an extra heat drier , or update your machine into the new one. Buy a new machines seems rather expensive , but in a long way , it will solve more problems and save your cost .
The ink problem . Good ink always costs a lot , because it contains more dye and less water . Many clients buy the cheaper ink but the quality is bad . The ingredient of ink are water and dye , if the ink is cheaper , means there are less dye but much more water in it. So when you print the sublimation paper , there are too much water in it, there's no doubt you will have a very big problem with the drying . And after you make the transfer ,you will see the transfer result is not that good, it is not caused by the paper problem , but the sublimation ink problem .So change your ink into high quality one ,you could solve the problem very easily.
After you check the usage problem and the ink problem , the last one is maybe the paper you buy is not the quick dry type , although your supplier claimed that it's the newest quick dry sub paper ,but actually it isn't.
You'd better test more samples from different supplier , and choose the best one for you own good . It is always best to select sublimation printing paper and ink that are manufactured to the highest standards !

Geraniums are summer annuals, valued for their versatility and interesting range of bright colors, sizes and textures. Propagating geraniums by taking stem cuttings isn't difficult, but timing is crucial. Propagating your geraniums at the correct time ensures that you'll have healthy geraniums ready to beautify your garden with the arrival of spring.
Geraniums are propagated by taking stem cuttings from mature plants in autumn. Cuttings must be taken while the geranium plants are still green and healthy, and before the plants are nipped by frost. Taking cuttings in autumn allows the cuttings to mature indoors during the winter. The geraniums will be ready to plant outdoors when the weather warms the following spring.
Taking Cuttings
Cut a healthy, growing stem tip measuring 4 to 6 inches in length. Remove the leaves from the lower one-third to one-half of the stem and pinch off any buds or blooms. Cut the remaining leaves in half widthwise, as smaller leaves require less growing space in the pot. Sanitize all tools used for cutting stems and leaves to prevent transmission of bacteria. To sanitize, wipe the tools with rubbing alcohol or a sanitizing solution of 9 parts water and 1 part household bleach.
Planting Cuttings
To plant geranium cuttings, fill a pot with potting medium such as commercial, soilless potting mixture or a combination of half sand a half vermiculite or perlite. The pot needs to be at least 4 inches deep, and must have a drainage hole. Dip the cut end of the geranium stems in powdered or liquid rooting hormone. Use a pencil or a chopstick to poke a hole in the potting medium, then plant the cutting carefully in the hole. You can plant several cuttings in a container, but the leaves must not touch each other, and must not touch the soil, as leaves that touch each other or the soil may rot.
Caring for Cuttings
Geraniums benefit from the moisture and warmth provided by covering the pot with a clear plastic bag. Close the bag securely with a string or a rubber band. Place the pot in bright, indirect sunlight. Check the cuttings daily and mist the potting mixture if it becomes dry. Poke a few holes in the bag if water drips down the inside of the bag, as too much moisture may rot the cuttings. Alternatively, provide ventilation by opening the top of the bag for a few hours every day.
Transplanting the Cuttings
Geraniums are ready to transplant when the roots measure 1 to 2 inches. To view the progress of the roots, use an old table knife to lift a geranium cutting from the potting mixture. Replant the cuttings if the roots need more time to develop, then check the roots again in a few days. Transplant the geranium cuttings to individual containers filled with a mixture of commercial potting soil and sand. Move the new plants into bright light and continue to keep the soil lightly moist. Fertilize geraniums every other week, using a water-soluble plant food for blooming plants. Mix the fertilizer solution according to the instructions provided on the label. Move the young geranium plants outdoors after all danger of frost has passed in spring.

Meet The Force Home Services Family
Ron Strelke
What a blessing to be a part of the Force Home Services family. 20 years ago, I left a corporate position to take on this new business so I could travel less and spend more time with my young family. Not only has this business afforded me the opportunity to spend a lot more time with Tina my wife, and my three kids, Erin, Nick and Kim but now I have a whole new family of coworkers that are a joy to know and work with. In addition, I have made some wonderful relationships with clients and vendors. It is exciting and a joy to come to work every day.
We work hard so we can enjoy our leisure time. For me that is anything outdoors. Hiking, fishing, hunting or just sitting there soaking up God's glory. If you find me indoors on the couch and the Cowboys are not playing, call a doctor. I must be sick.
Office Manager
I am a Texas girl – born and raised and currently the Office Director and Lead Dispatcher. I consider my roles here special because it allows me to help our customers daily, as well as, be a leader to my fellow co-workers and help them I best as I can.
I absolutely love the culture and family environment here at Force Home Services. Everyone is always willing to help, and we genuinely enjoy each other's company. We are all constantly learning and growing together.
The value that drives me is Integrity! Doing what is right when no one is looking. Also, it's not always about us – there is always something we can do to help make this world a better place. Kindness is contagious!
When I'm out of the office, I love spending time with my husband and our kids! And I really enjoy hanging out with our friends and having a cup of coffee or a margarita! I also enjoy traveling, watching movies, reading and cooking.
Administrative Manager
I grew up in North Texas and have lived here all my life. I graduated from TWU with my Bachelor's in Business Administration and worked as a Hostess at Cotton Patch while getting my education.
Working at Force Home Services allows me to be myself. The atmosphere is fun and laid back. We are always laughing and joking, but when it is time to get the work done, we are on point and ready to help in any way we can.
I believe that everyone should be themselves and have a good work ethic. I believe that attitude in the workplace can be reflected in customers' homes.
Outside of work, I like spending time with my family whether it be hanging out at home or going out and doing something fun and exciting. I also enjoy reading, binge watching shows on Netflix, and I recently started to quilt in my free time.
I'm one of the first individuals that customers interact with at Force Home Services. It's important that I listen carefully to their needs, ask questions so that we can help them solve their problems as fast as we can.
I grew up in the state of Washington and worked in retail my entire life. After getting married in 2018 we relocated to Texas. Loyalty and honesty are a part of my core values so joining the team at Force Home Services was a natural fit.
The FHS culture encourages, not only me, but the entire staff to be ourselves. It's truly a team that is respectful, likes to have fun and strives to provide customers with the best customer service every day.
When I'm not at work, there are days you will find me hiking and exploring. There are other days you'll find me watching Netflix or playing my guitar and piano.
Force Home Services and its team are dedicated to providing you with the absolute best service in the industry. It's not just the service we provide, it's how we provide the service. All our employees are obligated professional, ethically and morally to a higher standard. Our team members go through background and drug screenings for the safety and comfort of our customers. We welcome the opportunity to earn your business, you won't be disappointed.
I'm typically the first point of contact for our customers. I want our customers to feel that they have my undivided attention and know that the most important thing to me (and FHS) is solving their problem quickly and efficiently.
It is stressful enough to have a plumbing or HVAC problem and having a stranger in your home to repair it just adds more stress. Making sure that the customer knows who we are and who we are sending to their home, so they feel more comfortable is my passion.
I have always had a passion for serving others. All my professional positions have given me an opportunity to give customers a great experience, which is ALWAYS my goal!
I love the people and my position at Force Home Services allows me to build amazing relationships with customers and my co-workers.
I grew up in an Air Force family and I have enjoyed living all over the world. My game plan, when I'm not working, is to get back into golfing and hanging out with my friends.
Inventory Manager
I was born right and raised right here in Denton, TX. I've had a varied career. Most recently, I was a clerk at the Winstar Casino in Oklahoma.
I like working for Home Force Services where everybody knows one another and being off on the weekends.
The value that drives me is Do unto others as you would have done unto you.
When I'm not working, I enjoy a good book, weekend road trips and going to the movies.
VP of Operations
I have been in the HVAC industry for 14 years and have been an installer all the way up to a service manager.
When problems happen in your home, it is my job to find the solution to problem and diagnose why it happened, how to prevent it from happening again and check for other potential problems that can be addressed while I'm in your home.
I like the comradery with all the guys and girls in the building. It feels like my extended family when I go to work. I can be myself and feel comfortable. Since working here, I have grown to be the man I want to be and mentored others to be the best they can be. It truly is a family atmosphere.
Being raised in Ohio as a Catholic serving mass, I was taught at a very young age that you treat people with the respect that you desire. Treat others the way you want to be treated. People tend to perceive plumbers and HVAC techs as being dishonest and I am trying to change that by building honest and moral individuals.
When I'm not in work mode, I like to be outdoors doing anything! I enjoy building things out of wood and metal. I also enjoy doing enhancements to our house. And..I love to eat homemade beef noodles.
Director of Procurement
I grew up on a farm in rural NW Louisiana with horses and cattle, growing cotton and wheat and I'm proud to say my dad was my biggest influence.
Prior to joining Force Home Services, I spent 25 years in the oil and gas industry. I'm the guy who over sees the inventory and acquires the right equipment and supplies to make sure our guys in the field have the right materials and equipment they need to start fresh every day.
I like the people and atmosphere at Force Home Services. It's a great environment for learning a new trade. High on my list are compassion, commitment, and dedication which are also high on the list with my co-workers.
When I'm not working, I love the outdoors. I like to travel and enjoy playing golf & tennis, hunting, fishing and hiking
System Design Specialist
I interact customers to help them make a more informed decision when it comes to their Home Comfort Heating and Cooling Needs. Having started my HVAC career as a helper, then an installer, then a service technician, I have been thoroughly trained and am knowledgeable about all the solutions that are available. My goal for the customer is to provide them with long term solutions.
Force Home Services is a great place to work. I've been fortunate to work with great mentors that help guide me on a day to day basis, make a great living and spend time with my family.
Trust is a big issue for me. The longer I am in the field, the more I've come to realize there are many people looking to just make a quick sale. Force Home Services is not that company and I'm not that guy!
When I'm not working, I enjoy camping with my family. I learned to bow hunt with my father in 4th grade, so there is definitely a deer stand in my family tree.
Master Plumber
I grew up in Mesquite and as a teen worked side by side with my dad. Following in the footsteps of my greatest teacher, my father, I now have close to 30 years of experience. Force Home Services and they family focused business is a natural fit for me.

HVAC Technician
I began my career as an electrician's apprentice. After two years, I transitioned to a lead installer for Force Home Services and then to my current position as a service technician.
One of the things that's important to me is helping my customers know what is going on with their system so they have a better understanding of the need for repairs and maintenance. Keeping them informed along the way is key and they're satisfied knowing that "we've got their back".

Plumbing Professional
I grew up in the small town of Kaufman, Texas and moved to the Denton area in 2014 after joining the Marine Corps Reserve. Joined the Team at Force Home Services in 2016 and have both commercial new construction, and residential experience.
I like that my customers are comfortable with my ability to analyze their problems. It's important to me that they have a total understanding of the situation, all the options they have, and the process involved to resolve their plumbing problems.
I spend one weekend each month with Marine Corps Reserve. When I'm not working, grab a cue and take your best shot. You're likely to find me playing billiards, 8 ball to be exact. Looking at a variety of different ways to approach a shot helps keep my mind focused and has a calming effect, especially after a hard day at work. Every pool shot and every plumbing job is different so it's important to take the time to look, not at just the first option, but at all the options available.

When I'm not at work, I am an avid sports fan as well as a sports player. I love to go bowling and to travel. I absolutely love theme parks! I want to visit every theme park in the world at least once.

I understand having a plumber in your home is never a pleasant thing to do. But, we are here to understand the issue and perform the necessary repair to get you back to everyday/normal life. Your safety and comfort are important to us because it's important to you.
The family focused culture at Force Home Services is fantastic. It gives you the assurance and ability to grow in your trade and as a person.
What's important to me is having moral and ethical values along with integrity.
When I'm not at work, I'm a lawn guy. I enjoy working on my lawn and dominating my fellow neighbors in the spring and summer.
Plumbing Professional
I grew up in Ponder, Texas and after serving our country, I decided to follow in my father's footsteps. One of the many things that attracted me to Force Home Services was the team attitude and "family" atmosphere. It's a company that encourages you and provides you with the tools you need to achieve your lifetime goals. It's truly a service business that really has the customers' best interest at heart.
Everybody does it…relaxes when they're not working and that pretty much sums it up for me. What I do to relax, watch a little TV, and always seem to be repairing something on my motorcycle.

Honesty, hard work and dedication to the customer to get the issue resolved are what's important to me.
When I'm not working, I always love spending time with my two daughters and beautiful wife. Other than that, I'm a simple man but a kid at heart.

Well if "living in the Big Easy", isn't the perfect way to sum up my life right now, I don't know what is. Everything feels good and... well, easy. Work is just the right amount of challenging right now. There is a little drama with our National office, but I feel like I am handling it with a certain measure of success.
I am probably in the best roommate situation I have ever experienced. Everyone is clean, fun, easy going, pitches in for chores, pays the bills and rent on time, and are all relatively drama free.
I think things with the boyfriend have been especially great lately. I'm making friends, and overall having fun and saving some money all at the same time.
We went tubing this weekend, which I still think was fun - even if I spent 70 % of the time clinging to the tube and worrying about all the river creatures swimming unseen between my legs. I also had an unfortunate collision with one particular tree, as well as some minor ones with rocks and branches, and USOs of various size and texture.
Also my very very good friend, Kenda, came to visit us in New Orleans! Here she is with Anthony on the street car.
Happy to report that all is well.

MoD Approves Induction of Women as Fighter Pilots
The first women pilots would be selected from the batch which is presently undergoing flying training at Air Force Academy. After successful completion of ab-initio training, they would be commissioned in the fighter stream in June 2016.
Thereafter, they would undergo advanced training for one year and would enter a fighter cockpit by June 2017.
Presently, the Indian Army is inducting women into the Signals, Engineers, Army Aviation (Air Traffic Control), Army Air Defence, Electronics & Mechanical Engineers, Army Service Corps, Army Ordinance Corps, Intelligence Corps, Army Education Corps and Judge Advocate Generals Branches/Cadres. The Indian Navy is inducting women in the Judge Advocate Generals, Logistics, Observer, Air Traffic Controller, Naval Constructor and Education branches/cadres. The IAF is presently inducting women in the Transport and Helicopter stream of the flying branch, Navigation, Aeronautical Engineering, Administration, Logistics, Accounts, Education and Meteorology branches. With this decision to open up induction of women in the fighter stream, women have become eligible for induction in all branches and streams of the IAF.
The Ministry of Defence has also taken up a comprehensive review pertaining to induction of women in Armed Forces, both in short service commission and permanent commission (SSC & PC) and once finalised more and more branches would be opened up for induction of women to give them the space which they deserve in the Armed Forces of the country.

The Winnebago County State's Attorney's Office dismissed charges of armed robbery, aggravated kidnapping of a child younger than 13, unlawful possession of a stolen vehicle, aggravated battery with a Taser, aggravated battery with a knife, aggravated battery with an ax handle and mob action against seven members of the Rockford charter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club last week.
Charges were dropped against Richard Todd, Robert Bell, John Savalick, Dariusz Achramowicz, Tomas Lech, Jose Velma and Christopher Lawson. The men had been scheduled to stand trial starting today. Prosecutors dismissed the charges after a judge named Joe McGraw refused to delay the start of the trial so prosecutors could strengthen their case against the seven.
Deputy State's Attorney Jim Brun told television station WIFR that the alleged victim in the case had refused to testify against the accused and implied that he had been intimidated. "As I indicated, the State's Attorney's responsibility is to provide a fair trial to all, so we're certainly not going to rush a case to trail just to say everyone has their right to due process and everyone has their right to a fair trial and part of that is to protect our, all our witnesses so that is part of our decision making process that we deployed at this time," Brun said.
The Sixth Amendment to the Constitution provides that: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense."
Three other defendants did begin trial today. Those men are Aloysius Balice, Dennis R. Juno and Donald J. Hess. Four defendants named Bradley Wilhelm, Earl Murray, Curt Lambert and Neal Resendez pled guilty to lesser charges last week.
The Case
Prosecutors brought the charges against fourteen defendants in July 2013.
The state alleged that on June 27, 2013 the defendants confined an unnamed Rockford man to the charter club house, hit him with an ax handle, punched him, struck him with brass knuckles and a hammer, Tasered him and stabbed him. Police claimed the men cooperated to steal the victim's wallet, keys and truck and that they detained an 11-year-old girl while the victim was assaulted. There are no allegations that the child was harmed. The investigation started after the victim went to a hospital for treatment and a motive has never been specified. A usually informed source, speaking anonymously, identified the victim as a former charter officer who had been accused of stealing from the club.
At the time of the arrests, police also raided the clubhouse at 1109 Rock St. in Rockford, searched it and then condemned the building.
Rockford City Attorney Jennifer Cacciapaglia told the Rockford Register Star that the clubhouse chimney and plumbing were falling apart, that wiring was exposed, and that the building lacked smoke detectors and a fire escape. "It's going to be a pretty extensive list," Cacciapaglia told the paper. "There's a portion of the roof that is in significant disrepair. I don't know how soon they'll be able to address each item."
Although condemned, the clubhouse is still owned by the club and is currently listed for sale for $59,000.
