Your maxillary and mandibular canine teeth are among the most likely to be impacted and not erupt properly. If you have an impacted canine, board-certified oral surgeons Michael Casillas, DDS; Michael Gissell Jr., DDS, MD; and LaVan Parker III, DDS, at San Antonio Surgical Arts have the specialized training and experience to treat the problem. With five offices throughout San Antonio, Seguin, and New Braunfels, Texas, San Antonio Surgical Arts has a clinic nearby so you can get treatment for your impacted tooth. Book your evaluation online or call your closest office directly today.
Having an impacted canine means the tooth hasn't fully grown through your gum tissue. The most common reasons for an impacted canine include:
In most cases, your dedicated oral surgeon at San Antonio Surgical Arts can visually inspect your mouth and see your impacted canine. But to determine the severity of your case and what is causing your impaction, they may take digital X-rays.
Your oral surgeon also discusses your symptoms with you, as well as your medical history. Once they have a better understanding of your impaction, they recommend the best course of treatment and explain what to expect.
Treating an impacted canine usually encompasses several treatment solutions to help your canine erupt. You may need:
In some cases, an impacted canine can't or won't erupt properly. Usually, this issue is more common if you are older as your tooth is likely fused into place by this point. If an impacted canine fails to erupt, causes pain, or becomes infected, it might need to be extracted.
The board-certified oral surgeons at San Antonio Surgical Arts specialize in complex oral surgery procedures such as extractions. If you need to have an impacted canine extracted, your dedicated oral surgeon goes over your options to replace the tooth afterward with a bridge, dental implant, or other solution.
Learn more about impacted canine solutions offered at San Antonio Surgical Arts by calling the office or scheduling an appointment online today.

Like many people, I love reading articles and books about the law of attraction, happiness, the power of thought and general tips on maintaining a positive mindset.
I have a cupboard full of books written by people like Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Rhonda Byrne, James Redfield and Pam Grout.
I also visit the library quite frequently as I have a 12 year old daughter who is an avid reader. We both love having a browse through the books at the library and seeing what it is we can stumble across on any given day.
Another thing that tickles my fancy is all the little quotes and sayings that you read or see in memes. They are short and to the point, they make you think and can make you smile and they are easily remembered.

This little article I've put together is a compilation of a few quotes that I've come across that I really love and I hope you do too. As a warning, some of these are deeper than others.

The Mjolnir Advanced Violet Wand System is a unique delivery system for your violet wand, designed to get FULL strength current WITHOUT bleed, all the way to your destination.
- intensifies all your Indirect and Reverse sensations
- allows more freedom of movement
- expands old techniques and makes new ones
- takes the Top entirely out of the electrical circuit
Taking the Top entirely out of the electrical circuit is brand new, though the desire to do it has been around for as long as people have been playing. The materials and the know-how were not available to accomplish it before this. We knew how, but state of the art materials had to catch up to our 'know-how' before it could be accomplished.
Tops who use violet wands in Indirect techniques, have always had to become part of the electrical circuit in order to ply their tools. While you will still want to become part of the circuit for 'hands-on' techniques like using finger talons and vampire gloves, or electrified oral, leaving the electrical circuit does two things.
- Less electrical current is diluted through you. Violet wand current dissipates into the air whereever it is traveling. This includes along regular cables, contact probe and pad cables, and even electrodes. So using accessories with your wand always, up till now, lost you a percentage of your current. With the Mjolnir system, you can turn your wand down saving wear and tear on your wand.
- More current is conducted the whole way through to the subject. You can turn your wand down, as the current is going to be as strong when it arrives, as it is at the point when it left your wand.
Electrical Bleed
The Mjolnir system uses NO-BLEED cables and handles. This means that from the handles and from the cables, you will get no spark kick-back if you accidentally bump into one of the cables. When holding the handle, you will get no spark. The top is totally removed from the electrical circuit.
IF YOU are a top/dom and hate violet wand electricity, but love to use it on others, NOW you can. Because NOW you are not part of the electrical circuit.
You plug in the Loki cable to your wand. Plug the cable into the Hel handle. Plug an electrode into the handle. And the wand current comes from the electrode just as strongly as if you had the electrode inserted directly into the wand.
The cables and handles will not bleed, and the design for all the electrical connections minimizes possibility of spark from exposed connections. However, touching an exposed connection will get you a spark. It's common sense, and expected.
*everyone is different when it comes to electricity, as the human body has a wide variety of electrical resistance from person to person. About 2% of all users will receive some slight degree of spark through the isolation coating of our Mjolnir cables. If you find you can feel a spark through the isolation coating, this will be within normal parameters-manage your cable just as you would a regular body contact cable.

Work in retirement. Once version of the truth
Yet more research about the American experience of retirement. Not that this adds a great deal to our knowledge about 'retirement' but it has lots of numbers and charts.
Why do people work after 'retirement' and what is it in the first place? This report suggests that it is because they want to. I can point you to other studies saying exactly the opposite.
Guess it depends on the questions the researchers ask and how honest the respondents are.
I think the truth is increasingly moving towards having to work rather than wanting to work. Dick Stroud

Stuttgart, Germany – With curiosity, the eyes of the 18 apprentices follow the small autonomous transport robot as it makes its way across the production hall at the Bosch plant in Homburg. As part of their technical vocational training, they are taking on the role of "Industry 4.0 ambassadors." To this end, one of the things the six young women and 12 young men are learning about is the use of new technologies in connected manufacturing. "Through projects like these, we aim to give our future specialists the means to play a role in shaping digital transformation at the company and in society," says Christoph Kübel, director of industrial relations and member of the board of management at Robert Bosch GmbH.
In 2019, Bosch will provide some 1,500 apprenticeships to young people. One in four apprenticeships involves a cooperative education program in a discipline such as electrical or mechanical engineering. Most of the apprenticeships the supplier of technology and services is looking to fill are in careers related to connected manufacturing, including electronics engineers for automation technology, mechatronics engineers, and IT specialists. "Knowledge about digitalization and connectivity is the basis for a successful career start," Kübel stresses. "Only those who understand the connected world will be able to shape it." Throughout Germany, more than 4,600 young women and men are currently completing occupational training at the company. At 16 percent, the share of female apprentices in STEM professions is nearly twice as high as the national average. "Mixed teams are more creative and generate better results. That's why we place such importance on diversity in our workforce. One aspect of this is encouraging women to take up technical professions," Kübel says.
We aim to give our future specialists the means to play a role in shaping digital transformation at the company and in society,Christoph Kübel, director of industrial relations and member of the board of management at Robert Bosch GmbH.
Occupational training for the connected future
At more than 50 locations, Bosch is training the specialists of tomorrow. The company constantly adapts the material covered during training to the future needs of its locations, so that apprentices get the best possible preparation for a connected future. Along with new teaching concepts and subjects, such as e-learning, app programming, and robot configuration, educational partnerships play an important role. Together with trainers, apprentices develop fascinating and instructive projects to teach school students about the world of digitalization and connectivity. "As part of the educational partnerships, we start entrusting our apprentices with responsibility for themselves and for projects during occupational training," says Siegfried Czock, head of occupational training and professional training policies at Bosch in Germany. "That way, apprentices learn to use their knowledge in a practical setting and share it with school students through specific project tasks. This interplay between gaining knowledge and passing it on is a very important skill – for today and tomorrow." Throughout Germany, more than 500 Bosch apprentices are already involved in over 300 educational partnerships that take place as part of the Wissensfabrik – Unternehmen für Deutschland (Knowledge Factory – Companies for Germany) initiative, of which Bosch is a founding member.
Apprentices offer school students insights into connected industry
As Industry 4.0 ambassadors, the young apprentices in Homburg, with the support of their trainers, teach foundational digital knowledge at eight partner schools in the city, giving school students a practical look at various careers. Patrizia Sommer, an apprentice who is training to be an electronics engineer for automation technology and is an Industry 4.0 ambassador, is excited about her new role: "I look forward to showing students all the things you can do with Industry 4.0. Often, students don't even know what kind of exciting tasks are associated with careers such as electronics engineering."
School students program an automated vehicle
As part of another educational partnership, apprentices at the engineering location in Schwieberdingen have designed a self-driving model car that is capable of identifying obstacles and avoiding them with the help of an infrared sensor. The necessary programming is done using the Calliope microcontroller. The apprentices are working with seventh graders to assemble and program the car. "At first, the students usually can't imagine how automated driving works. After the project, they're excited about technology, just like I was back then," says Romy-Maria Bahmer, who is in her second year of training to become a mechatronics engineer.
Apply now: open apprenticeships for 2019
Open apprenticeships and positions for university students at Bosch for 2019 are being advertised online. Information on apprenticeships and positions for university students is available at bosch.de/karriere. The website also lists the dates when potential applicants can get to know the vocational training departments at Bosch personally.

Quick Info
Summer Advantage 2020 Info
Summer Advantage 2020 Cancelled
Summer Advantage 2020 has been cancelled due to concerns about the course of COVID-19, but you can still take WSU summer courses at a distance. Pullman campus summer courses will be delivered remotely using Zoom and Blackboard, our learning management system. To learn about summer financial aid opportunities visit the Student Financial Services Summer Aid website.
Course Information
Summer Advantage students can choose up to two* of the courses listed below. These courses fulfill the required University Common Requirement (UCORE) curriculum for most majors. See the University Common Requirement guidelines for more information. If you are a Running Start or Honors College student, it is possible the courses won't help you progress in fulfilling your graduation requirements.
Additionally, these classes are closed to other WSU Summer Session students. Class size is limited to 30 students in order to have productive class discussion and to facilitate interpersonal interaction with class members and the instructors.
*Students may choose three classes as long as one of them is UNIV 100 (a 1 credit class).
Choose from among the following classes:
CES 101 Introduction to Comparative Ethnic Studies
In 1969, students at San Francisco State University and University of California, Berkeley launched massive protests at their respective campuses in demand for Ethnic Studies, an increased number of students of color, and a more diverse/representative faculty body. Challenging the Eurocentric nature of the academy (America) and the systematic exclusion of faculty/students of color, the field of Ethnic Studies emerged through struggle, political organizing and resistance. More than forty years later, this course challenges our assumptions of race in the United States. Exploring a number of different sites in which race and racism are created, articulated and challenged, we will come to see how central race (racism) is to the everyday lives and governing institutions within contemporary society.
ENGL 101 College Composition
After receiving an appropriate Writing Exam score or completion of ENGLISH 100 with an S grade, students can take this class designed to further develop students' academic writing, critical thinking, rhetorical strategies, reading and library skills. Students who place into English 101+102 on their Writing Placement exam cannot take this course during Summer Advantage unless they pay for the extra credit required for English 102. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for questions!
HONORS 280 Contextual Understanding in the Arts and Humanities
In this class we'll use films and short readings to launch in-class discussions of philosophical issues in sports, including the following topics and more: The definition of sports, theories of fairness and sportsmanship, the ethics of performance-enhancing substances, gender and race issues as they emerge in sports,and the ethics of using of animals in sports. HONORS 280 is open to all students and by special permission of the provost will count as a Humanities [HUM] UCORE during summer for those not in the Honors College.
MUSIC 262 Rock Music—History and Social Analysis
Learn about history and analyze rock music related to its African American origins, its societal role, and its diverse development and impact. The course will be taught by Professor David Snider and fulfills the inquiry in the creative and professional arts [ARTS] UCORE graduation requirement. Usually this course is open only to upperclassmen because of its popularity.Required text: "The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock and Roll: The Definitive History of the Most Important Artist and Their Music" by Anthony DeCurtis (primary author), ISBN-13:978067937285.
UNIVERSITY 100 Online
This course is designed to help students choose an academic path at WSU. Students will explore options for majors, identify passions and interests, discover meaning in a career, build a four-year academic and career plan, and get individual advising with an Explore and Discover advisor.
Calculated Success Online
Mathematical Concept and Skill Improvement
(1 credit)
Calculated Success gives you the opportunity to work on foundational math skills and work on programs individually tailored to build your personal math proficiency utilizing the ALEKS software. This will be accomplished through individual work and online or in-person office hours for specific questions.
While Summer Advantage is an on-campus program, you can take online Calculated Success in addition to your on-campus courses. You should dedicate around 8-9 hours a week on your work because Math 110 is considered a lab. This course also will have a small, additional fee for proctoring your final exam, included in the cost of the program.
Important Note about Attendance
Summer Advantage is only a five-week session, with classes meeting every day, Monday-Friday. In the regular school year, a semester is 16-weeks, typically meeting 2-3 times per week. Classes offered during Summer Advantage are not shortened classes, they still cover all the same material a 16-week course would cover, but quicker and more intensely. Missing one day of class during Summer Advantage equals missing about 1 to 1.5 weeks of course material, depending on the course.
It is very important that students and parents understand that students should not miss any days of Summer Advantage. Many Summer Advantage instructors have policy clearly laid out in their syllabi language that prohibits missing last day of class. So when planning travel back home after the program, realize that a student could potentially fail or receive an incomplete on their final grade if they miss the last day of classes.
However, we also understand emergencies and issues that are not in students' control. Each student's situation will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact us at email@example.com or at 509-335-3530.
You will be able to rent/buy your textbooks from the Bookie in Pullman. It is not guaranteed that all classes with have the option to purchase their materials in New/Used conditions, it just depends on what the Bookie has available. If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 509-335-3530.
Once you register for Summer Advantage, you'll receive an email about how to order your books, as we recommend pre-ordering them for you to pick them up once you arrive!
For Calculated Success, you will need to get an ALEKS summer subscription, a fee for which will be included in your tuition costs, but no textbooks will be required.
Summer Programs Peer Mentor-led Programming
Our Summer Programs Peer Mentors (PMs) are experts at navigating life at WSU and understand coming to a big university is new for all of you. Many times throughout each week, they develop programming that's not only fun, but informative, and each one leads to community building. In past summers, some of the programming our PMs organized were:
- WSU Campus Tour—Helping students familiarize themselves with locations of various campus resources, with particular focus on where Summer Advantage classes would be held.
- Northside Hall Scavenger Hunt—A community building activity.
- Ice Cream in a Bag—Helping students interact with one another and help each other through the process of making ice cream from scratch.
- Mario Kart: "Drunk" Edition—Using WSU Police's "Drunk Goggles," students got the opportunity to try to play Mario Kart while wearing the goggles, simulating what drunk driving feels like. WSU Police officers then discussed the dangers of drinking and driving.
- Make S'more Friends—Socialization and community development through making s'mores.
In 2020, you can expect similar and equally as awesome programming from our stellar Peer Mentors!

You have a bucket list and on it are all the places you want to see. To visit in your lifetime. Places keep getting added, the more you read, the more you know, the more people that you meet.
Social Media is a wealth of knowledge. Just look at Pinterest and all the boards you can create. The amount of articles being shared on there is mind-blowing. Add to that the gorgeous photos, and suddenly you are hooked on a new destination.
Then there's Facebook with people sharing their amazing travel photos. Pictures of Greek Islands and French villages flung in front of your face every five minutes.
With all that at your disposal, and in your face, whose travel bucket list wouldn't be growing.
And then you have the Facebook Travel groups where everyone is sharing their travel stories, articles, experiences, suggestions. And there are people sharing apps that you can download and keep track of all the places you have been.
People are even getting tattoos of world maps and colouring in each country they have been to as they go.
Ditch the Bucket List
So what's wrong with having a Travel Bucket list? Nothing actually. But what I do believe is a problem is if you get hung up on going to a new place each and every time you have the chance to travel.
What about the places you have already been? The ones that found a place in your heart and stirred your soul. The ones that made such a connection with you all you do is dream of going back.
Now I am not talking about the fantastic holiday you had laying under the palms on a white sand beach with warm turquoise water that you just relaxed and rested and thought was the best holiday EVER!
Where did you leave your Heart?
I am talking about that place you visited that you left just a little piece of yourself behind. The one you felt you had to wrench yourself away from when it was time to leave. The one you wanted to throw yourself at the feet of the concierge and beg "Please let me stay"! (Sorry, I do have a touch of the dramatic.)
But do you see what I am saying? Have you had that experience where you could actually see yourself living in that place? I know I have.
And the problem then with having a bucket list is that it pulls you away from revisiting that place. You are compelled to go somewhere "new". Time and money are precious, so I get it. Why not somewhere new instead of somewhere you have already been.
But to deny yourself that return, you deny yourself something important in life. The people that have chosen to return again are the ones that find something more than just travel. They find a place for themselves in this world that speaks to them, a place other than their home.
For me such a place was Cortona. The moment I arrived there I felt like I was home. It was comfortable; it was familiar, it was mine. I have not returned, yet. But I will. And I hope that I will many, many times.
Without going back I won't know if the magic is still there for me, or indeed ever was. But I want to find out. More than anything I want to find out.
You might also enjoy: A Day in Cortona
Letting Go
Part of the problem is I am being pulled by my bucket list to visit new and perhaps, equally intriguing places.
Maybe wanting to go back is like a fleeting romantic connection that you believe is more than it really is. I don't care because I am willing to throw myself at it. What if what is there is real? What if something wonderful is waiting for me.
So as I tick off all the positives for moving forward with my Travel Bucket list – seeing more of the world, ticking places off the list and the diverse experiences I will have in new places I realise that some of these are not that important to me.
I don't really care about ticking off places from a list or the number of countries I visit. I don't care at all.
I do look forward to seeing the differences in the places I go to, the diverse cultures and experiences.
But as I get older I realise what means more to me. Meeting people and the connections I make in those places are important. Just as important as the place itself.
If I follow through and tick off all the places on my bucket list, I will miss finding out if those connections are real. I will miss making new connections. I won't ever form the relationships that could mean a great deal. I will miss the stories about a place I love, the real stories of the people that live there. I will miss getting to know them and the lives they lead. I want to learn their culture, their beliefs. I want travel to be meaningful, not fleeting.
So even as I continue to add places to my bucket list, I am planning on travelling back to the places I have already fallen in love with.
I want to see if the romance is real and can continue to exist in real life, and not just in my imagination. I am willing to take the risk.
I love to travel. Just love it. But what I love more is connecting with people and learning their stories. And if I can combine the two I believe my life will be even richer.
What do you think? Bucket list or not?

The road was in good condition for our drive, we started in Fairbanks and ended up a little north of Wiseman. We went in August of last year, I was surprised while we were driving that the road was in good condition, no pot holes or corrugations, and in my opinion could have been driven by a standard vehicle. Although we had some friends loan us their 4 wheel drive. I imagine that since there are so many people saying to use 4 wheel drive that there are parts of the year that you will definitely need it. The road was slow partly due to stops for road work and also in places with a lot of loose gravel. It also did not feel very isolated when we got there. The Dalton highway is a fun road in which some sections are paved but you also get passed by many trucks so it is better to take it slow rather than to get a chipped windshield. You actually reach the Arctic Circle before Wiseman and make sure that you stop for a photo at the sign!
Insider Tip
Safe speeds for driving ranges from 30-50MPH | Coldfoot is 14 miles south of Wiseman and the last place for food and fuel.

I am not the least bit sick of salads – I'm loving them so much I considered extending this month's theme into August. Below are EIGHT more salads to finish out the month! I started visiting the Farmer's Market and I wanted everything I saw, in a salad.
This salad was entirely inspired by all of the fresh vegetables I saw. I decided to use a few types of greens, and grill fresh corn & zucchini in pesto sauce. And then some shrimp too. I used fresh basil from my Aerogarden to make a light dressing. The sweet goat, tangy goat cheese, and rich pesto made a satisfying combination of summer ingredients. Husband deemed this as top 3 for the month – and I made 20 total!
- FRESH: Bibb lettuce, spinach, and zucchini and corn both brushed with pesto & grilled
- PROTEIN: Shrimp marinated in pesto & grilled, goat cheese
- CRUNCH: Homemade croutons
- DRESSING: Lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, fresh basil
When I first saw the recipe for this salad, I wasn't sure it was enough for me. I was tempted to add protein; it would have been delicious but I am glad I enjoyed this in simple form. The fresh veggies, the bright citrus dressing, and the crunchy pita chips made for a super satisfying lunch. Also fun fact, my great grandmother's maiden name was Fattoush; likely the name given to her when she came to America.
- FRESH: Romaine, red onion, cucumber, tomato
- PROTEIN: None used, but you could add chicken and feta cheese
- CRUNCH: Pita chips (Trader Joe's)
- DRESSING: Olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic, ground sumac (my local grocery store didn't carry this so I bought it on Amazon), salt
Another week, another salad for golf. I've mentioned Smitten Kitchen a few times, for all of her amazing savory (and sweet!) recipes. This salad is no exception – an Italian chop salad. I made a few modifications to add more protein (chicken), and use up things in my fridge (mozzarella, artichokes), and because I love carbs (croutons). I did forget the pepperoncini and was a little sad about that, because I love the zing they add to this salad!
- FRESH: Romaine, red onion, tomato, marinated artichokes (original recipe calls for perroncino, which are the best in this salad for a little zing!)
- PROTEIN: Italian seasoned grilled chicken, salami, provolone, mozzarella, garbanzo beans
- CRUNCH: Homemade croutons
- DRESSING: Fresh lemon, garlic, oregano, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt & pepper
A classic salad that couldn't be easier. I happened to grill my chicken for this, but rotisserie would be perfect. I used bottled BBQ sauce & bottled ranch. Fresh corn, but canned or frozen would work in the winter. This was another favorite for the month, and a salad I'll make on repeat. The ingredient to top it all off – crunchy fried onions, like the ones you use for green bean casserole.
- FRESH: Romaine, corn, tomato, avocado
- PROTEIN: Grilled chicken with BBQ sauce, black beans, shredded cheese
- CRUNCH: Crunchy fried onions
- DRESSING: Bottled Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce + bottled ranch – about half of each mixed together
Ok, this salad one MY Favorite Salad of the Month award. I've started writing down unique salads I see on restaurant menus so I can make my own version (like last week's Cheesecake Factory Chop Salad?). This particular salad I've ordered the last few times I've gone to Eat Chow in Orange County. Eat Chow was one of my favorite places when I lived in Newport Beach, for it's upscale comfort food, including delectable parmesan truffle fries. I try not to get fries TOO often, so the last few times I've visited, I chose their Spanish Style Roasted Chicken Salad, and I wasn't even sad without fries. Sweet, tangy, chewy, salty, crunchy and flavorful – it was pretty easy to replicate once I found a dressing recipe on Pinterest. Also now I have a huge container of dates and I hate wasting ingredients – so I guess I better wrap the extras in bacon?
- FRESH: Romaine, bibb lettuce, corn, dried dates (chopped)
- PROTEIN: Paprika grilled chicken (I made this a second time and used shredded pork instead), goat cheese
- CRUNCH: Chopped smoked almonds and salted peanuts
- DRESSING: Whole tomato, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, dijon mustard, liquid smoke, basil, salt & pepper (scaled down from this recipe) – blended in the food processor
I already covered taco salad – so a fajita salad is a totally different game! Marinated skirt steak grilled to medium rare, grilled peppers and onion, and obviously avocado. I used my current favorite chips, the Elotes corn chips from Trader Joes, but any corn or tortilla chip adds the perfect crunch to this salad!
- FRESH: Romaine, grilled onion & bell peppers, avocado
- PROTEIN: Marinated flank steak, cotija cheese
- CRUNCH: Elotes corn chips (Trader Joe's)
- DRESSING: Cilantro lime vinaigrette
The last salad of the month. In my search for recipe ideas, I found a ton of variations on the cobb salad. With chicken, shrimp, or steak. Some with fruit, or other cheeses. A typical cobb contains greens, tomato, bacon, chicken, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, chives, Roquefort cheese, and red-wine vinaigrette. The only changes I made were to use chipotle seasoned chicken, which I grilled, and a jalapeño corn vinaigrette, inspired by this recipe from Half Baked Harvest. I used my shrimp on the farmer's market salad but still wanted the chipotle flavor! The dressing was a little sweet with a kick and was a great compliment to the salty bacon and bleu cheese.
- FRESH: Romaine, tomato, avocado,
- PROTEIN: Chipotle seasoned grilled (grilled), hard boiled egg, blue cheese
- CRUNCH: Crispy bacon
- DRESSING: Corn, jalapeño, lime, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, cilantro, salt
Below are all twenty salads I made this month! Some I made a few times with leftovers. Salads are a great lunch because I can prep my ingredients and chop everything for the week on Sunday. Sometimes at the end of a week, I will take all of the random leftovers in my fridge – meat, veggies, cheese – and make a salad. A good honey mustard or balsamic vinaigrette can work with most ingredients. Even though #julysummersalad month is over, I'll be making salads regularly the rest of the year!
Pictured, from top left to right: Cobb, farmer's market, fattoush, Nancy's chopped salad, BBQ chicken, Eat Chow paprika chicken salad, fajita steak salad, Cheesecake Factory Chop Salad, crispy chicken BLT, black raspberry balsamic & fried goat cheese, potato salad, San Chez Ensalada Mixta, grilled peach & balsamic chicken, southwestern chicken salad, broccoli slaw, panzanella caprese, Asian chop salad, buffalo chicken salad, Cuban salad, taco salad.
And next up…#augustgrillinggoals! What fun new things should I grill this summer??

Advocates and opponents of a plan to build two additional high-rises at the Howard Hughes Center in Westchester met before the West Los Angeles Planning Commission Wednesday, January 6th.
But the possibility of legal action looms over the horizon, a chief detractor of the projects has indicated.
The hearing centered on the zoning for the project, which has generated considerable discussion among residents, members of the business community and the Neighborhood Council of Westchester-Playa.
Before the commission was an appeal asking the planning body to overturn a zoning administrator's decision pursuant to the municipal code Section 12.24-W, 19 and 12.24-T, 3 (b) for the approval of a vesting conditional use permit. Issuance of the permit would allow the developer a floor area ratio of 3:1.
The environmental clearance for the project, a mitigated negative declaration that was previously certified, was also under appeal.
The Los Angeles City Council approved an area map for two additional high-rises on December 9th, one of the last hurdles that the master developer of the project, Equity Office Properties, will need to overcome before it can complete its buildout of the commercial, retail and entertainment center.
The proposal includes a seven-story building, located at 6040 Center Drive, where Equity Office hopes to build 325 apartment units and 1,500 square feet of retail space. At 6055 Center Drive, the developer is seeking to construct an 18-story tower that will include 225 condominium units.
Rex Frankel, a Westchester resident who is one of the most vocal proponents of the Hughes project, appealed the December vote. Frankel, the director of the Ballona Ecosystems Education Project, feels that there are similarities between what Equity Office is requesting and what the developers of Playa Vista did during that development's Phase I.
"The developer of the Hughes Center is falsely claiming massive development rights," Frankel, the appellant, alleged. "Playa Vista has done the same in both Phase I and Phase II.
"Allowing them to build these two high-rises would be a massive gift to the developer."
Cyndi Hench, president of the local neighborhood council, has stated that her council supports the developer's mixed-use project in large part because Equity Office agreed to scale back its largest tower by six stories.
The LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce has also endorsed the project.
John Hartz, vice president of development for Equity Office Properties, said that housing is a critical need on the Westside and he feels the proposed residential project is one solution to alleviating that persistent challenge.
"If you look at what's at the Hughes Center today, you have the work element and the entertainment component, but what's missing is a housing component," Hartz noted in an interview with The Argonaut last month. "Los Angeles and especially the Westside is in great need of more housing, and as it continues to grow, more will be required for the region's work force."
City Councilman Bill Rosendahl, who represents Westchester, said that there was still much to discuss about the Hughes Center project.
"It's still a work in progress," he said.
The councilman secured a promise from the developer last month to add an additional 15 units of affordable housing, a cause that Rosendahl has championed since he took office in 2005.
"The entire project is still under review and that includes water and climate change issues," Rosendahl said. "The developer has to be true to his word when it comes to listening to my community."
Frankel said he was prepared to file a lawsuit to halt Equity Office's development plans if the commission did not rule in his favor.
"We have an extraordinarily good case," the environmental activist said.

Matthew Smith: Yesterday/Today/Tomorrow, Vane, Newcastle upon Tyne
For 'Yesterday/Today/Tomorrow', Matthew Smith has transformed non-recyclable household waste, collected by the artist over the course of a year, into a series of rock-like sculptures. Encased in resin and glass fibre, the entombed detritus creates a landscape of rogue geological objects that might date from the Anthropocene epoch. The sculptures are presented alongside a series of twelve collage works, each of which takes all the images of rocks from a single copy of National Geographic magazine, and arranges them into a simple pile as if they were awaiting another use. Reminiscent of cairns – piles of stones which are used to mark a route through a landscape – the resulting images appear to help the viewer to navigate a way through the other artworks.

If you happen to be trying to find a reside dealer casino it pays to possess program of attack and also a discerning eye for detail cast more than any operator you will be arranging on trusting with your challenging earned cash. This strategy should not be also dissimilar to the one particular you would utilize selecting a normal on the web casino, having a few further factors.1st you want to offer oneself having a amount of comfort that a provided online casino could be the genuine offer instead of a dodgy operator. This needless to say are going to be related when choosing both an RNG (random amount generator) or even a reside dealer casino. In the threat of stating the apparent, in case you have any doubts whatsoever the casino you will be playing at may well not honor winnings, then any enjoyment you receive out of one's gambling experience will probably be severely diminished.
The easiest technique to fulfill oneself that a offered online casino is run by a legit, reliable operator is always to go with a title you trust. Most substantial terrestrial based mostly gambling organizations with extended and respected running histories have created the transition online. This can be especially true for the bigger European primarily based gambling organizations not getting to grapple with consideration in the implications of UIGEA on their on the net aspirations. William Hill, Ladbrokes, Bet365, Victor Chandler, Gala Coral, Intertops and Blue Square to identify just several now all give on the web casinos.
In case you favor to not go having a massive title operator, or are unfamiliar with all the market altogether and wouldn't recognize any names then study the 'About Us', area of the casino's internet site to evaluate their chops. Who are they owned by? Is it a sizable (exchange detailed) company? How lengthy have they been working on line? Where are they licensed? Is it one of the much better identified on the net gambling licensing jurisdictions such as the United kingdom, Gibraltar, Kahnawake or Antigua Barbuda?
And all these particulars can then be independently verified. If they declare they may be licensed and regulated through the Uk Gambling Commission, visit the Commission's website and check its record of licensed operators. If a casino does not have an 'About Us' web page with all of these details, consider it as being a indication that they've one thing to conceal and move on.

Clint Robertson runs Umdingi Safaris, specializing in Fishing and Camping Safaris from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. We met Clint at the 2018 Fly Fishing Show in New Jersey and are thrilled to be partners in making Fishing Safaris in Zimbabwe an easy option to book! Read from Clint below on why Victoria Falls is a one-of-a-kind destination, and contact or book your trip with Clint here.
Clint fishing a 5wt rod with a floating line with 100 yards of backing, using a piano wire and, on the very end, a Clouser.
Victoria Falls, being where it is in a third world country, has advantages like no other town or city that hosts one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the world. Our guests are never warned about people but about the local wildlife; Buffalo and Elephant are constantly in our tiny town and often stop the traffic as they casually cross the roads. The mysterious Hyena skulking about most evenings is one certainly to keep a watchful eye on!
Within five minutes from my house, I can be sitting on my boat on the river or at the entrance gate for the National Park. I'm not sure of many other places on the planet where this is a possibility.
On a personal note, spending time on the Zambezi River whether it be fishing, birding or simply cruising around the islands and through the rapid water somehow fills me with something that is unexplainable, maybe life-fulfilling.
Keeping an eye out for Hippos and Crocodiles is merely one of the jobs whilst on the river. The birding is simply off the charts, so if you have a keen eye for the avian species, then we most certainly can help with that.
The Zambezi River is home to roughly 60 fish species where we are situated, of which 10 of the species we will target throughout the different seasons. The Tiger Fish is the ultimate pound-for-pound freshwater fighting fish, and this is a must for any angler. Managing to hook one of these incredible sport fish will only aid in you wanting more!
12 lb Tiger Fish caught with Umdingi Safaris.
March through May the rain waters from Angola flood the Upper Zambezi Region with a lot of purpose, turning the water a light brown color. This provides new fishing territory with the higher water. Fishing tactics also change at this time of year, and we concentrate on using live bait. Tiger Fish being predatory have incredible eyesight as well as smell. In the dirtier water, we are counting almost solely on their sense of smell. As we approach May, the water begins to clear and the tactics change once again with Rapalas, F-zetts and Flies back in the tackle boxes which may be used until December (although some anglers are sold on bait fishing and may not change too much). This leaves out January and February free for the off season (unless otherwise organized).
The Piranha speed boat is the river boat of choice for many anglers, as it is rides the rapids like no other boat out on the river. This allows for a maximum number of 2 anglers as casting space with any more is a real challenge!
Accommodation is plentiful in Victoria Falls; however, with our itineraries we are fishing in places that very few people ever get to, generally making for a far better experience fishing and in the lodges.

Revolut, the European banking and money transfer app that now claims over 10 million customers, has partnered with open banking API provider TrueLayer to add bank account aggregation features to its app.
The new functionality means that Revolut's U.K. customers -- both consumer and business -- can now connect their external U.K. bank accounts to Revolut, enabling them to see all of their bank balances and transactions, regardless of which of their U.K. bank accounts the data resides in. Known as account aggregation, the feature is designed provide a more complete view of your spending and other transactions, and it was one of the early promises of open banking.
However, despite being adopted by legacy banking apps, such as Barclays, along with a plethora of money management apps, the aggregation use case hasn't exactly seeped into the consciousness of most consumers. Revolut's move to roll out aggregation features has the potential to help change that. Or so says TrueLayer co-founder and CEO Francesco Simoneschi.
"I think this is the moment Open Banking will go mainstream," he tells me, perhaps a little over optimistically. "Revolut is putting this feature at the very core of their customer journey and will set the standard for the next phase — not just in the U.K. but everywhere."
"With the launch of our new Open Banking feature, U.K, customers can now view and manage multiple external bank accounts, enabling them to interpret their day to day spending across all of their accounts," adds Joshua Fernandes, Product Owner for Open Banking at Revolut. "We're delighted to see that new legislation such as Open Banking is changing our financial landscape for the better, and I'm proud that Revolut and TrueLayer are at the forefront of this experience".
From a regulatory point of view, Revolut is authorised as an "Account Information Service Provider" (AISP) by the U.K. regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority. This permits it to access official U.K. Open Banking APIs for information purposes on behalf of customers.
What it doesn't allow is Revolut to transfer funds and make payments via third-party bank accounts, which would require a different Open Banking license. Were this to happen it would make it even more convenient to add and withdraw funds from Revolut and use the app's budgeting and money transfer features, so I wouldn't be surprised to see that come next.

REL-UITA: Coca-Cola, outsourcing at its extreme - Labour Apartheid
In the framework of various meetings in Bogotá in order to raise awareness about the pre-conflict situation of Banana workers in Urabá, Colombia, Rel-UITA has interviewed union leaders and activists from SICO. The Union at Coca-Cola Bogotá and Villavicencio ahd joined SICO in March (see story in Spanish).
Interview partners were Julio Rubén Padilla, president; Pablo Alfonso Carbajal, education secretary, and Macario Pérez Petro, a rank and file member.
Below is a summary of the interview.
Read the full interview in Spanish on the Rel-UITA website.
The interview partners pointed out, that at Coca-Cola in Bogotá,
owned by FEMSA Panamco, one of the main problems is the extreme form of
outsourcing in sales and distribution. While in presales, workers are
hired by an outsourcing company that at least hires them with permanent
contracts, the truck drivers are in worse situation: they are being
treated as self-employed entrepreneurs which are granted a vending zone
and receive a commission for each case sold. In turn, they hire
helpers. There are only 6 permanent employees in sales and delivery for
the whole area, while there are about 300 precarious workers, which
earn few money, which is however expected to cover premiums, vacation
allowance and unemployment insurance.
In production and
warehouse, certain functions are equally being filled with precarious
workers, for example night shift loaders.
The casusaliation of workers not only negatively affects terms and conditions, but also the union, as these workers cannot affiliate.
Coca-Cola Bogotá union learned with great interest, that for example at the Carepa plant in Colombia, there is no outsourcing, and the plant still works profitable.
After affiliating to SICO and hence IUF and FELATRAC, they now feel in a better situation to fight this situation, receiving information and support.

Addictions come in all shapes and sizes. From the obvious struggles with drugs and alcohol, to the less recognized but often just as destructive bouts with gambling and shopping binges, addictions can hit anyone, from any walk of life.
And it's a sad fact that addictions are becoming more prevalent in our society. An estimated 16.6 million people (age 12 or older) were classified with dependence on, or abuse of, either alcohol or illicit drugs in 2001.1 That's a frightening 7.3 percent of the population. Of these, 3.2 million abused illicit drugs, 11 million abused alcohol and 2.4 million were considered abusers of both alcohol and illicit drugs.2
Are these numbers growing exponentially because of the world we live in today, or is there something inherently moving us toward excess and destruction? Is it a matter of today's talk-show environment and greater confessional format in which the addict can profess their illness that pushes the numbers upward? Or is it really a combined result of heightened societal pressures, a decrease in the one-on-one support we often found from family and friends, and lifestyles built around factors of incredible stress?
Whatever the answer, we know there are people out there hurting. Some of them know their limits and have confessed their addictions; many more have yet to face the brutal realities. But there are answers, and not all of them come out of a methadone clinic or a traditional 12-step program. Natural programs to combat addictions are being devised every day — some offering proof as to their effectiveness in treating addictions, others having only anecdotal evidence of success. Still, it's an interesting mix of new options for a growing problem.
What Can Bodywork Do?
According to Tiffany Field and the University of Miami's Touch Research Institute, massage therapy has its place in dealing with addictions, especially as it relates to nicotine. In 1999, researchers set out to discover if self-massage to the ears and hands could reduce the craving for a cigarette. The pilot study followed 10 males and 10 females from ages 18 to 45, each randomly assigned to either a self-massage or control group. Over the four-week study, the massage group clearly fared better, showing lower scores on anxiety, depression and craving intensity.
The conclusion? Researchers said the findings suggest "self-massage may be a convenient and cost-effective adjunct therapy for reducing smoking-related anxiety." The study's authors admit the underlying mechanism for the effects of self-massage are not clear, but there is certainly something effectively at work here.3
Brigitte Mars, author of Addiction-Free Naturally, writes that massage and bodywork "are tremendously helpful for those struggling to give up addictions." She recommends cranialsacral therapy and Alexander Technique, in addition to Swedish massage as a means toward recovery. How can they help? Improved circulation, combined with the relaxation and re-energizing effects offered by massage, assist in fighting off the depression, low self-esteem and lethargy often intrinsic factors of addiction.
Mars also gives credence to Ayurvedic medicine for visualization exercises, journaling to express your emotions, yoga and exercise for the physical body, homeopathy to help the mind say "no" to the cravings, acupuncture and acupressure to invigorate the body's own healing processes and flower essences to bring the addict's unresolved emotions and issues to the surface.
According to experts at Geocities.com, "Anyone who is trying to come off drugs will benefit from a regular massage." With all the self-imposed shame and guilt addicts often suffer, massage shows them they are worthy of self-care and attention. "For once, they realize there are other ways of feeling good apart from taking drugs. By relaxing and experiencing a new form of pleasure, drug addicts are able to remember their pre-drug days, and regain respect for their bodies. The mother of one addict said having a massage was the turning point in her daughter's recovery."4
For heroin addicts, massage helps them relax after they've given up the drug. One ex-addict said "I felt terrible when I was withdrawing and didn't think anything apart from heroin would help. I was delighted to find after having a full body massage I felt totally at ease. The shivering stopped, and I felt warmer. My muscles stopped cramping, and my nerves weren't jumping around so much. I also felt much less depressed and, for a few minutes, the world didn't seem so awful."5
There's no doubt massage and bodywork can help people through the grip of addiction — just look what it does for already healthy people. The power of therapeutic touch can help feed a hungry soul.
