"...I've put my listening ears on" was the response of Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson when asked, last week, why the protest in Missouri had a very different tone and demeanor to the police presence of the previous evenings. This response is the key to dispute resolution and harmonious diversity.
Unless you are intentionally ignoring the news you are aware of the fact that a unarmed, innocent 18 year old man was shot to death. He was black, the officer that shot him was white. The police force that this officer is a member of has only three black officers in a population with 70 per cent African Americans. Many Canadians are sitting back smugly stating how horrible and thank goodness that would never happen here, but if you believe this, you live in a bubble. Just look at what happened at York University last week. A hate filled piece was distributed by an anonymous group arguing the school would be better without people of different cultures. Hate isn't geographical, it is universal and based in fear of differences.
Every city, state, province, business and government in North American needs to face facts, the issue isn't diversity. Look at the demographics. We are diverse, the issue is inclusion. You can't have a culture of trust if you don't listen and include others views and try to understand their cultural beliefs. People only feel included if they feel value and if you are of a different culture in North America it is increasingly difficult to feel valued, whether you are of a different ethnicity, gender or age.
The issue is most people want to cook with the only ingredient they know, the past. The world is diverse, we are in a global economy, if your diverse workforce isn't heard they too will riot, they might not loot physically but they will become a disturbing element even unintentionally in your workforce.
My research has proven that people who are "different" process information another way because of the experiences that shaped them as they grew into adulthood. Think of how different the young man who was shot experienced his "formative years" from the officer that shot him.
Roadblocks to opportunity are created when people's fears override their desire do the right thing. Since I began this research in 2008 fear among employees has dropped to 9 per cent for non-diverse employees and 6 per cent for diverse employees. So if you are African American you process experiences in the workplace differently, than Caucasians. A young man I will call Kevin who was enrolled in our 13-week sponsorship program was taught by his parents to not look leaders in the eye. He thought that his job was to quietly do what you were told. Kevin grew up in Missouri. His employer, in another state, took this as a sign of weakness, or worse laziness. In my program he was assigned a peer who, using our curriculum (a virtual playbook for inclusion) learned that he wasn't aligning with the culture of the corporation.
He had to change, but he needed to learn the rules, his peer educator taught him the rules. He learned how to listen in alignment with the company, look people in the eye, take notes. He was also taught to take time to respond to emails or if you didn't know the answer, don't answer. In the company's culture this was a big "no no" and gave the mistaken assumption that Kevin was lazy. His peer taught him that he needed to respond immediately to emails when he had an answer; he also needed to let people know if he didn't have an answer.
Kevin, with his peer educator, was moved through the five stages of cultural: engagement, awareness, satisfaction, experience, belief and value.
These stages and his innate understanding of them are why Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson has been successful in allowing peaceful protests. He created awareness of the need for change, he walked through the crowds and said "talk to me, I will listen to you". He did listen and people were satisfied they would be allowed to protest. He shifted the protest experience, he took away the armored vehicles and let people's voices be heard, especially in media interviews, including a brilliant interview with CNN's Don Lemon. He believed and therefore engendered belief because during interviews he told the truth instead of pushing a key message. He described the fears of his 20 something children. And finally he provided value; he stopped the violence and let people express their anger and loss.
Now imagine if the police officer had been taught or even made aware of the fact that people process information and a playbook is required for building trust and respect.
It isn't legislated, it is experienced.

One of my favorite tools is my air compressor. I got one the same time I got into road tubeless. At the time, a blast of air was a necessity to get the first generation of 700c tubeless to slip into the bead of the rim. And even with the 100 psi blasting out of a hose, it still took some doing– removal of valve cores, soaping the bead, beating on the tire–it wasn't much fun. Nor was it fast. I still use it during most tubeless setups, mountain or gravel.
So I was anxious to find out (and just a bit skeptical) if Mavic's Allroad Pro wheel could live up to its promise of easier mounting. That tires with correct specs could pop into place without the assistance of my favorite tool. It didn't take long to find out.
A set of Allroads comes with almost everything needed to get rolling. Out of the box they have the end cap size of your choice installed, tires, valve stems with removable cores, sealant and an injector. It's like this cool little tubeless care package. There's no rim tape because none is needed. Rims are sealed. Simply add cassette, rotors, mount tires, lube the bead and pump. Yes pump, not blast. On the first try, I got the Mavic supplied tires to click in, with a $40 floor pump. I let the air out, removed the cores and added the sealant (made by Hutchinson), then re-inflated. I was rolling in less than a half hour. That's a PR for me in tubeless install.
One of the things I love about these wheels is the number of ways they can be configured. They come with 12mm, 100/142 end caps installed and QR caps in the care package. 15mm front end caps are available for now. Mavic may do away with those down the road. A Shimano 11spd hub body is stock but a road XD or Campagnolo can be ordered. They come in either six bolt or center lock, buyer chooses. Buyer also picks tires, 30mm or 40mm Yksions, made by Hutchinson. A 35mm version is in the works.
Mavic's journey to gravel and road tubeless has been a long one. The company was one of the first to bring tubeless to the market with its UST for mountain in 1999. And when the benefits of running without tubes became apparent, Mavic was right there working on the same for 700c. But while others moved forward, in 2005, Mavic hit the brakes in the name of safety and ease of use. A company with 125 years in the bike industry could not risk its reputation on technologies it felt needed further advancement.
It was never a matter of if Mavic's road wheels could go tubeless. The Ksyrium was always one of the easier wheels to convert to tubeless because the rim is sealed. Conversions maybe OK for the home mechanic, but for a company with a legal department, you gotta do better. Two things got Mavic over the road tubeless hump: contouring of the rim bed so tires mount easier and tires with predictable bead stretch considering the higher pressures of road and gravel. With that, Mavic checked off two big boxes: easier tire mounting and safer. Soon after, the Allroad was born.
Inside the cavity, the rims have little onramps or launching pads that carry the bead out of the center channel and into the bead seat. In Mavic speak they call it Rim Contour Design, I'll leave the french translation up to you. In the garage, they just work. I mounted four sets of tires: Mavic's 40mm Yksion Elite Allroad (also made by Hutchinson), Panaracer Gravel King Slicks, WTB TCS Resolutes and WB TCS Nanos. Mavic's supplied tires and the WTBs seated with ease. Both companies are supporters of ETRTO standards. And while the European Tire and Rim Technical Organization does not set standards for bike tires, both companies make rims that meet their standards and have tires to match. So it's no wonder those models seated with a floor pump. The Gravel Kings took more convincing. Hello air compressor.
Mavic could have called this wheel the "Dirt Ksyrium." They look similar and there are shared technologies. ISM 4D, the shaving between spokes is the same thing that Mavic has used on the Ksyrium for years. To anchor spoke to rim, the Allroad has the Ksyrium's Fore drilling, which really isn't drilling at all. Mavic instead heats the rim to create spoke hole. On the Pro level, the other Ksyrium similarity is the the Zicral spokes (Elites have stainless).
I talked with Mavic Global Brand Manager Chad Moore about the Allroad, but mostly our conversation centered around tubeless standards. Moore said Mavic believes in building to a standard and that's why their rims stick to the diameter and bead shape guidelines laid out by the ETRTO. But Moore said what is lacking is a tire standard. We agreed that it's just plain odd that the body that tests rim designs for safety and consistency does not do the same for tires. At least not bike tires. So Mavic developed its own tires to match its standardized rims and wheels.
The company has entire lab setup for tire and rim testing and tolerances. They have a booth dedicated to blowing up tires. There's a workstation for measuring rim width and diameter. They test for what the company believe is the most important spec in the entire tubeless debate and that is bead stretch. Their goal is to achieve a tire and wheel that is within 1mm of its specification.
The Allroad has a 22mm internal width. While it took longer than most, this puts Mavic in line with what's happening in this category: wider rims for wider tires. Moore says Mavic was late to the party because again, the company has stood by standardization and waited for the ETRTO to approve the spec before moving forward.
In addition to rim diameter and width, ETRTO also sets tire size recommendations based on how wide a rim is. In the case of the Allroad and its 22mm bead to bead distance, the minimum tire width is 28mm. Could you put on something skinnier? Sure. But that could create improper bead contact and a risk of the tire coming unseated during a puncture. The maximum width recommended is more than a gravel fork or seat stays could clear, over 2 inches. The largest tire I ran was 42mm. I can't imagine going much bigger. Maybe 45mm.
Anyhow, I've probably gone way too technical with this review. And if you've skipped ahead, I can't blame you. Because in the end, what you want to know is how these things ride. I'll just say that if tubeless safety is a priority, then Mavic is a company worth consideration.
When I rolled away for the first test ride, the first thing I noticed was the rear hub: the Instant Drive 360. Ok, it's not instant, but the engagement is quick. From coast to crank it's nine degrees of pedal turn. That's a seven degrees upgrade from Mavic's previous generation of rear hubs. Quick hub engagement is particularly useful on my trails where strewn rocks and quick pitches call for leveling of pedals followed by quick accelerations.
The Allroad set weighs 1610 grams, without tires. If you're a gram counter then you're probably moving on. And I'll admit, when it came to what to ride at the Crusher in the Tushar and its two, two hour climbs, I swapped out the the Allroads for a set of carbon 29ers. The weight savings was about 200 grams but it came with a pretty hefty price tag. The carbons cost twice as much as the Allroads which has a much lighter tag of $1100. And while it was never Maic's intention to create a light, aero gravel wheel, it does have its eye on the high performance end of the segment and sees an opportunity for a gravel-race wheel which could translate into a carbon version. Stay tuned.
During test rides the Mavics did a great job soaking up the rough stuff. They had less bounce back than a carbon wheel. I ripped down some of my favorite descents on the Allroads: Sullivan ridge, Eagle Rock into Trippett Ranch and Garden Land. These and other Santa Monica Mountain fire roads are tooth chattering affairs. The Allroads mellowed out some the madness that comes with a 30 mph fire road descent.
On the road, over mostly flat tarmac, there's not much to say. But jump in a group, especially a group dashing down a canyon road, and then you've got something. During a mixed surface ride, six of us came off Summit to Summit motorway (funny name because there are no cars on this dirt road) and onto Old Topanga Canyon. Now I know as well as anyone that there's a lot more at play besides rim material when it comes to rollout on a descent, but I had no problem keeping up with my carbon hooped partners. As they let if fly, so did I, and Mavic and I were right there next to Mr. Zipp, Mr. Roval and Mr. Enve.
I am not going to tell you these are the fastest multi surface wheel I have ever ridden. First, I don't care for superlatives. Second, it wouldn't be honest. I have ridden faster wheels. I own faster wheels. But what I am willing to say is that so far, these are the easiest (qualified superlative) wheels to mount tubeless. And if I could only have one set of wheels, the Mavic Allroad would definitely be a finalist. Two sets of wheels is nice to have but with the Allroad's contoured rim design and "no tape needed" channel, changing tires is pretty quick. Merci Mavic.
Final thought: No more wasting CO2 cartridges

Great review, Hottie! How long until trickle-down-to-affordable?
Hi @Tominalbany, Chad from Mavic here – you're in luck !! The Allroad Elite UST Disc is a new model for 2018 and is $799. You can choose 30mm, 35mm or 40mm tires. Here's the link to the wheels on our website and I'm sure you can find them at your local Mavic dealer – https://shop.mavic.com/en-us/allroad-elite-ust-disc-rr0974.html#1028=3283
Happy riding !!
I bought this same wheel set (w/30mmYksion tires) to use as mixed surface road wheels on my Open UP. Hottie's review mirrors my experience. They were an absolute breeze to set up and have been pretty solid on paved roads but REALLY shine in hard surface gravel road conditions. There is really not much of any tread on the stock Mavic Yksion tires (it is really a road tire type of tread.) so anything beyond hard dry conditions I will mount 650b wheels running Schwalbe Thunderburts. Yes, they are not the lightest wheels out there. But I didn't have to mortgage my house to buy a set, and so far, they seem very, very durable with this Clydesdale as a rider. Highly recommended.
I also bought this same wheel set (w/30mm Yksion tires) on my new Mosaic GT1 to use primarily on bad pavement here in the northeast with occasional forays on gravel. This is a great combination; I've had several carbon bikes and wheel sets, now gathering dust. Some observations though. I thought the tires were a bit sluggish on the road so I replaced them the Yksion road 700×28. The 30mm tires were easy to remove and the 28mm easy to mount using a floor pump. After reading this article https://janheine.wordpress.com/2018/03/15/myth-7-tubeless-tires-roll-faster/ I decided to replace the Yksion 28mm tires with Compass 700 x 35 Bon Jon pass tires with tubes as Compass tires have been my favorite on other bikes. I found removal of the 28 mm tires impossible using thumb pressure to get the tire bead out of the bead channel and into the center groove. I finally had to carefully use a wide blade screwdriver to move the bead inward enough to allow the Mavic tire lever to grab the bead. I didn't have this problem with the 30mm Yksion gravel tire. Although the wheel specs show 28mm tires at the narrow end of the range for this wheel set, perhaps there is some difference between road and gravel tires, not sure. Regardless, the combination of Compass 35mm Bon Jon pass tires, the allroad wheels, and the Mosaic is a really nice ride.
Thanks for the excellent review. I've been seriously looking at these for an upgrade to the stock wheels on my gravel bike. The UST tubeless looks very convenient. I also watched the GCN video that is out there. I'm just debating between the Elites and Pro and whether I want to spend the extra $ for a few ounces weight savings.
I caught a great sale and picked up a set of the Allroad Pros. Set them up last night. UST could not be easier with the supplied Yksion 40mm tires. I took one off just to try it. Mounted tire (very easy by hand), inflated to seat it, deflated, added Stans, cleaned up Stans syringe, and reinflated in less than 10 minutes. I'm looking forward to getting them out on the road.
Thanks for the review. Quick question: what are the tires in the first photo (the file tread ones), and do you remember how difficult they were to mount on the UST rims?

Well I am in the final week of prac and it is safe to say that my assignment have taken the back seat as lesson plan prep is priority for the lessons in which I will be teaching. After reading Justin's blog and it looks like I am not alone in this situation. So then I began to ponder……… out of all 4 pracs that I have been on, not one of my teachers have done a lesson plan. Sure they have a general outlay/plan of that outcomes and aim for the lesson yet no lesson plans. Does anyone else think that this lesson plan business is in some part a "waste" of time whilst on prac other than learning how to teach the children in the classroom who are right in front of us?
Lesson Planning, although it's a long read I found this from a blogger regarding the lesson planning topic…… would love to get your thoughts on this 🙂

Ever had one of those days?
You know the ones.
The days where you just need one of those hugs?
You know the hugs I'm talking about.
The ones where someone just holds you so that you don't feel like the end of something in your life is near. So you don't actually have to cry those tears you're clandestinely holding back. So you don't have to remember your struggles for at least a moment.
The kind of hug that comes on those kinds of days that come after lots of other days when you've been big, and tough, and strong, and brave, and still been okay all by yourself.
The kind of hug that comes when you've stared at a wall, or a computer screen, or a phone screen for hours and you literally are out of ideas. Out of confidence. Out of courage.
The kind of hug that is backed without judgment. The kind of hug that needs no reciprocation. The kind of hug that lets you just be.
The kind of hug that says, "it'll be okay." The kind of hug that says, "you've got this." The kind of hug that says, "there's always an answer. Just be patient."
The kind of hug that resets things today so that tomorrow you can be big, and tough, and strong, and brave again.
You know which kind of hug I'm talking about.
It's the kind of hug that for some reason can't come from a child. It has to come from a grown-up because a child can't possibly know how to give that kind of hug.
It's the kind of hug that even then only certain grown-ups can give. Squishy grandmas. Little sisters. Lovers, perhaps.
It's the kind of hug that you can't ask for, you just need and hope someone gives it to you, because to ask for it would take away its biggest purpose…
Its purpose of seeing you; its purpose of knowing you need it without you saying anything. It's purpose of just happening in that moment when you're ready to give up on something or someone and the right hug will make all the difference.
Have you ever had a day in which you needed one of those hugs?
I definitely did recently, on a day not too long ago.
And there was no one there.
So I did what I always do. And I ate something I really shouldn't eat. And I went shopping for something I really didn't need. And I pretended like I'm too strong to ever need those kinds of hugs in the first place.

Veterinarians see pet rats most frequently for two main reasons. The first is for tumors (usually mammary) and the second is breathing problems. Both can be quite serious, but breathing issues are usually more acute and require a quick approach to treatment. Rats' respiratory systems are delicate and easily irritated, so keeping a clean enclosure is especially important. This may seem contrary to the image most people have of rats in the wild, but for domesticated rats, cleanliness is critical.
Why Do Pet Rats Have Breathing Problems?
Several factors can contribute to breathing problems in rats. The type and condition of its bedding, an unclean environment, and diseases can all cause respiratory distress in your pet rat. There are also bacteria, viral infections, colds, and other health problems that can cause breathing issues in pet rats.
Mycoplasmosis and Other Bacteria
Mycoplasma is a bacteria that almost all pet rats normally have. When a pet rat's immune system is weakened, either due to stress or from another disease, these bacteria cause an upper respiratory disease called mycoplasmosis in rats that when left untreated may morph into pneumonia. Streptococcus, Bordetella (the same bacteria that give your dog a cough), Pasteurella, and other types of bacteria can also play a role in the severity of the disease, but Mycoplasma is typically the primary reason for illness.
Viral Infections
There are some viral infections that are more common with pet rats, including Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) and Seoul virus. LCM is a rare viral disease. It's transmitted through the urine, feces, saliva, or other cage materials of rats (and other rodents). Seoul virus does not make rats sick but can be very dangerous for humans. It's a type of hantavirus and is carried by Norway rats. If a human is infected with Seoul virus, they can range from no symptoms to serious illness that can require a hospital stay. Rats can be tested for Seoul virus. Talk to your vet about this test, which can be beneficial before you bring your rat home.
While these bacteria appear in rats with Mycoplasmosis and pneumonia, Streptococcus more often afflicts young rats. Under the microscope, it appears as gram-positive diplococci (two tiny purple circles) and is treated with antibiotics. If your rat seems lethargic, has excessive porphyrin tearing (from stress), isn't eating as much, or has any discharge from its nose, it should be brought to the vet as soon as possible. The animal will not just get better on its own and waiting to see if it does usually make things worse and harder to treat.
Bedding Issues
Bedding that's dusty, dirty, or consists of cedar shavings is the main culprit for respiratory disease when the cage substrate is to blame. Don't use cedar shavings as substrate, and make sure the bedding stays clean and free of dust. As with humans, too much dust in a rat's environment can cause respiratory problems, as will dirty bedding where mold might start to grow. Cedar bedding has long been known to irritate the respiratory tract and even cause liver damage.
Colds and Pneumonia
Rats can also get colds from being too close to an air conditioning vent, window, or door. Other causes for respiratory infections besides bacteria include airborne bacteria, or, a mother rat passing on an infection to its pups. A rat that mates with an infected rat also may contract a respiratory infection.
Rats often get tumors, especially along their mammary chains, which are roughly the rodent equivalent of mammary glands. Both male and female rats are susceptible to breast tumors and these tumors can spread throughout the body, including the lungs, causing breathing problems. A radiograph (x-ray) or CT scan are the best ways to tell if your rat has tumors in its lungs.
If your rat is having problems breathing, whether or not there is nasal or ocular discharge, seek help from your exotics vet and start treatment as soon as possible. If your rat is diagnosed with a more serious condition, the treatment will vary based on the problem.
Treating Mycoplasmosis
There is no cure for mycoplasmosis at this time; treating the symptoms of the disease is all you can do to keep your rat comfortable and slow the progression of the disease. Antibiotics and other medications will be prescribed by your vet based on the severity of the disease. New treatment techniques are slowly surfacing so your vet may choose to try something new with your permission, or perhaps one day a vaccine or cure will be found. Until then, rats can still live for several months after being diagnosed with Mycoplasmosis and maintain a decent quality of life while on chronic medications.
Treating Viral Infections
Since a rat that is infected with a viral infection can transmit the infection to other rats and people, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends euthanasia of infected rats.
Treating Streptococcus
Treatment should be started immediately since the infection can quickly progress into pneumonia. Rats often die from Streptococcus infections, but you have a chance to save your rat if you start antibiotics before your pet rat contracts pneumonia.
Treating Bedding Issues
A clean environment is key to a healthy rat. Try using shredded newspaper in the cage instead of shavings. It is an economical option and can be removed and replaced easily.
Treating Colds and Pneumonia
A vet will come up with the best course of treatment. Sometimes a cold will pass, but keep a watchful eye. Upper respiratory tract infections often turn into lower respiratory tract infections and should be taken very seriously. These types of breathing problems may not be due to bacteria like Streptococcus or Mycoplasma but they should still be addressed as soon as possible.
Treating Tumors
Your vet will identify the type of tumor and make a treatment recommendation. Some may require surgical removal. Other tumors can be treated with medication. Some types may be untreatable.
The best way to prevent most respiratory problems in rats is to keep their enclosures clean. Don't allow your pet rat to be around other rats if you're not sure what diseases they may carry. Rats transmit diseases to each other easily. It is also important to note that many of these diseases are very contagious. It can be passed to other pet rats very easily. So if you have other rats in your household, quarantine your infected rat from the others and thoroughly wash your hands after handling it.
It is also imperative that humans follow strict safety guidelines. Humans should consider these guidelines essential:
- Wash your hands immediately upon touching, feeding, or caring for pet rats or cleaning their habitats
- Avoid kissing or holding pet rats near your face
- Do not eat or drink while playing with your rat
- Secure your rat enclosure to avoid the rat from getting out and contaminating the house
- Keep all rats and supplies away from the kitchen or other areas where food is present and consumed
- Wear rubber gloves and use a disinfectant bleach spray when cleaning your rat's enclosure
- Speak with your doctor if you have been around a pet rat and are feeling sick or have been bitten or scratched

Having a room where we could do school exclusively and keep all of our books and supplies has long been a dream of mine.
Over the years, I've had it a few times. When we first began homeschooling, we had a table and chairs set up in our family room in the daylight basement, one large cabinet to contain everything, and a map on the wall. That was pushing it with my husband, but he humored me.
You see, the Man does not like having our house look like a school. He has an extreme disdain for the look of bookshelves.
Bookshelves! I know, right!?
I so love bookshelves. But that's why I bought a cabinet with two doors on it, so that the books and everything else would be hidden away. Our old KONOS timeline was 12 feet long but folded away and stored behind the couch when we weren't using it.
We've moved twice since that first year we started homeschooling.
In our second house, I attempted the same setup in the basement family room. The trouble was that this basement was a true basement. No windows. It felt like a cave. We ended up doing school upstairs at the kitchen table 90% of the time. We still kept everything down in the 'school area', but I just couldn't be a cave dweller.
That was the house where I first put the map on the dining table.
Then we moved again, ten years ago, into our current home. This is the home where our kids have grown up. A few years ago I attempted, yet again, to create a school room in the basement family room.
I tried, but I simply cannot be a cave dweller.
Windowless basements and I just are not friends. I can't do it. That room is still set up with my bookshelves and a table (covered with stuff) but we never, ever use it. In fact, I rarely go down there. We now have a world map and US map on our dining room table.
The boys keep their books and co-op homework in a couple of cool hanging file crates. My answer keys and manuals are in a nice clear hanging file box.
These are now kept in their bedrooms. It's a risk (what do you mean, you can't find your math book?!) but it works. This year I am also going to attempt an inbox, where they can drop in the work that they finish so I can correct it.
So here we are, 15 years later, still doing school at the kitchen table. And the computer. And the desks in their bedrooms. And the couch. And the patio table. And where ever. It works just fine. 🙂
I still dream about having a defined homeschool room but I know it'll never happen.

I would think that a machine that generates 7 to 8Hz wave would be huge.
The lunatics, er, respected audiophiles, who have experienced positive effects have caused me to have great jealousy. I tried the SW1 unit and could not detect anything. Then someone offered I should try a more reknowned unit, but I did not do so.I'm thinking with my SS8's and the open back design I won't need any additional openness.
It creates an EM wave, not an acoustic wave. For an acoustic wave, yes, it would have to be huge, but there is no need of a physical analog transducer for EM waves. The power needed to produce an EM wave of this magnitude in such a small space as a room would be a few milliwatts.
I think that you have "EM wave" and "acoustic wave" sizes (and ideas) backwards. An "EM wave" antenna is not a transducer! The antennas on these toys look much like the antennas on AM radio receivers of 1/2 century ago. A transmitting antenna needs to be a significant fraction of a wave-length to work. That antenna would be measured in miles./quote]I'm not privy to the circuitry used (nor are you!), but there are other many ways to produce an output of EM energy.Nor do I care. Period. This post makes no claim about any causative factors, only the audibility of the result. And it is clearly audible in the 4 systems I've now heard it in, by me and the members of our audio listening group.

Police Officer Struck In Hit-&-Run Released From Hospital
Police: Officer Frank Vrtochnick Recovering At Home
The Milwaukee police officer seriously hurt in a hit-and-run crash on Christmas day has been released from the hospital.
An update on the Milwaukee police Facebook page said officer Frank Vrtochnick, 37, is recovering at home and still has a long way to go in his healing process.
Police said Vrtochnick was struck by a car that crossed the wrong side of the street and jumped a curb near 17th Street and West Windlake Avenue.
Vrtochnick was standing near his squad car when he was hit.
Juan Alvarado, 19, has been charged.
A few days after the crash, police tracked down the car they believe Alvarado drove during the crash in a south side garage. Damage to the vehicle was consistent with damage to the squad car.
Chicago police and Vrtochnick's fellow officers from District Two helped find and arrest Alvarado at a Chicago bus station on Dec. 29, where he was allegedly trying to flee to Mexico.

Arthur Laurents has given us arguably the definitive production of what is unquestionably a perfect musical.
Why is Gypsy back only five years since its last Broadway revival? Because (1) Patti LuPone is ready to play Mama Rose (2) Arthur Laurents, who hated Sam Mendes' revival, wants to redirect it (3) Laurents and LuPone patched up their feud (4) a planned revival of Guys and Dolls that was supposed to go into the St. James Theatre never materialized and (5) Gypsy is the best musical. Ever. If La Boheme and Hamlet receive annual revivals, why can't Gypsy?
Two summers ago, LuPone performed the role in a Chicago concert. Last summer, she did the show at City Center. Now the production has transferred to Broadway with nearly its entire cast, including Laura Benanti and Boyd Gaines, both of whom are outstanding.
Whereas Mendes' revisionist revival had a grim, Brechtian overtone and had Bernadette Peters playing Rose as a sexpot, Laurents is totally faithful to the original 1959 staging. This is arguably the definitive production of what is unquestionably a perfect musical.
Considered the King Lear of musical theater, Mama Rose allows an actress to experience a dramatic cycle beginning with hungry ambition in soaring anthems like Everything's Coming Up Roses and ending with a total breakdown in Rose's Turn.
How would we describe LuPone? She combines Rose's fury and vulnerabilities with her diva authority. Unlike at City Center, she is now more focused and refuses to pander for laughs. She also wears a wig that to make her look far less glamorous. And while LuPone's trademark slurring and Elvis-like lip gestures remain intact, she delivers a powerhouse performance as the frustrated, aging backstage mom.
28-year-old Laura Benanti gives her most mature performance to date as Louise, the neglected daughter of Mama Rose who grows up to the world's most famous striptease artist. She cries her way through Little Lamb and spikes a real punch into its final line, the funny but sad observation I wonder how old I am?. In Momma Get Married Today, she and Leigh Ann Larkin as June make the number shine both emotionally and vocally as never before, squeezing each others' hands in anticipation of breaking away from their vulture-like mom. Finally, we watch Louise grow into a woman in Act Two during the strip sequence, which finally allows her to achieve independence and long-delayed puberty.
Boyd Gaines, who lately has made a habit of playing supporting avuncular characters in plays like Journey's End and Pygmalion, is again playing second wing to the star. Still, his performance as Herbie, the long-suffering beau to Momma Rose, is real and poignant, brimming with the character's pain and the occasional comforts of being with his manipulative girlfriend.
Laurents does add one new thing. At the end, Rose usually delivers a final glance to the stage before she walks away in peace. Now, she continues to reach in vanity for her name in lights as though she were stretching for the stars until the curtain falls. In three months, we suspect LuPone will reach for a well-earned Tony.

Webineyes is a provider of LIVE and Recorded Lectures. We host LIVE events and also provide recorded lectures from recent LIVE events. There is a selection of topics, with presenters from around the world. All topics are designed to support Eyecare Professionals within a selection of categories. These categories are viewable within the Events page and you can also read about the individual Presenters and their content. When you buy your Webineyes Pass, you can participate in the LIVE webinars, watch the recordings, or both. CET points are available for some countries, including the UK, Norway, Denmark, Finland and South Africa.
You can find these within the Conference Page where they are listed in date order. Each webinar page contains information about the webinar content, the presenter and the availability of CET points. Recorded lectures are available when there are no current LIVE events.
There are two ways to access our webinars:
1) You can buy a Conference Pass by going to the Book Webinars page and pressing the button to Buy Conference Pass and follow the instructions. You can also navigate there by clicking on the page title Book Webinars at the top of the site. The Conference Pass provides you with access to all of the Conference LIVE webinars, Recordings and Powerpoint PDFs (within 3 months of the LIVE event).
2) You can also join any of our webinars individually by going to our Eventbrite page: http://Webineyes.eventbrite.com where you can purchase access to individual webinars (LIVE and Recorded) for 9.99€ each. No other resources are included.
There are two ways of booking onto either a LIVE or Recorded webinar.
1) In our website, log into My Account using your username and password. (If you do not yet have an account, you will need to buy your Webineyes Pass first.
Next, having logged in, navigate to the Events page and register on each webinar that you wish to join, using the Register button (you can also do this within your account dashboard if wished). This will transfer you to Zoom, the webinar platform which will then register you onto the webinar event and provide your joining email link.
Zoom will send you an email containing your personalised link and everything you need to know in order to join on the day/time of the webinar (it will also send you a reminder one hour beforehand). We also advise you to use the option within that email to add to my calendar (popular calendar options available include Google and Outlook). If wished, you can also add favourites to your account from the Events Page.
2) If you book with our Eventbrite service for individual webinars, you will automatically receive your personalised Zoom link and a reminder one hour before the webinar. Please be sure to add to your calendar in your own timezone.
All LIVE webinars commence at 20:00pm Helsinki time which is 19:00 Central European time and 18:00pm UK time. You may check the time in your own country and/or state by selecting your country from the Timezone widget within the Conference page, then all webinars will display in your own timezone. Recorded lectures (webinars) may be viewed at anytime.
You can select to see the final price in your currency when you are purchase your Conference Pass. We provide the prices in Euros, USD and GBP as commonly used international currencies. Simply click the buttons next to the price on the Conference Pass Page.
On your behalf, Webineyes needs to be able to provide a clear audit trail of your participation in case you apply for continued education points. From time to time, an approving association may ask for our evidence that you have fully participated in a webinar from start to end. Therefore, we can prove your purchase of an event pass, registration on specific webinar(s), attendance in specific webinar(s) (start, duration and end). This supports your CET/CE application. In any event, it allows us to provide you with a personalised certificate.
For individual webinars hosted on the Eventbrite platfrom, this is not necessary. As you will participate in the webinar only, without other resources, then the Zoom link arrives immediately upon registration.
You may join with or without these as you will not be required to speak. Listening may be done using these the speakers of your device. However, if you are in a noisy environment, headphones will greatly improve your experience.
Yes, you can. Although due to smartphone functionality and screen size, you may not be able to take full benefits from the session. Our recommendation is to use a laptop or standalone device where possible or if not, a tablet computer.
We recommend that you are present 10 minutes before the webinar is due to start and check:
Our LIVE webinars are LIVE classroom sessions and you will gain maximum benefit from participating fully from the start until the end.
Recorded lectures (webinars) may be watched at anytime.
To be able to apply for interactive continuous education points (CET / CE) you are required to participate from start until the end. Webineyes may also be required to report on your participation to your points-approving associations.
However, if you do have a problem, then the learning opportunity still remains, as we provide you with the recording and powerpoint for 3 months after the webinar ends. You can still then earn CET points from watching the recordings.
You will find these materials under a Resources section within the Conference page, by clicking, Read More to access the relevant webinar's details. The Resources section will usually appear within 24 hours of the webinar taking place.
We encourage participants to contribute comments, questions and additional information (also relevant website links) and perspectives during the webinar. You may do this within the Q&A box by typing into it. There is no requirement to do this (nor by any continued education points awarding association) if you do not wish to do so. Recorded Lectures (webinars) do not have interaction.
We operate a continuing professional and personal education service and provide many webinars that attract CET points. We also provide other valuable personal development webinars which may not be applicable for points but have been selected for their value for Eyecare Professionals.
Selected webinars in selected countries are approved for continued education points, depending upon your professional role. You can see the availability of CET points that have either been approved or have an application in progress, within the description page of each webinar. You can see this by pressing the Read More button on each webinar summary within the Conference page. We also provide the expected points for each country on the Book Webinars page.
We gain pre-approval for these points and provide you with a link to an optional quiz to support your learning, at the end of the webinar. If you require CET, you should take the quiz. Successful completion of the quiz will result in the provision of a downloadable certificate. You may attempt the quiz as many times as you wish. We will then provide your name and CET completion pass to your governing association eg GOC in the UK.
If you wish to apply for CET points (whether interactive or general), you must participate in the LIVE or Recorded webinar from beginning to end.
Some webinar topics are relevant for specific professions and some offer wider accreditation. The application and pre-approval of points depend upon the presenter, subject matter, content and country approving association. If a webinar is accredited for CET in your country and there is an appropriate system for this (such as in the UK), we will upload the participant list to your governing association, within 10 days of the event.
If Webineyes is not yet offering CET/CE points for your country and/or profession, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will discuss this opportunity with you for potential future inclusion. You may even wish to become an Ambassador for your country and help us to make it happen!
Any presenter, whether an expert or new talent can be considered to join the Webineyes presenting team. They must have at least one specialist topic which is valuable for our Eyecare Professional participants. If their session is clinical or optical, it should be accreditable for continued education (we help with this application and may pay the relevant fees). They should also be able to confidently present (we also provide training specifically for webinar). We pay all presenters a fee, however, they must be prepared to fit into our model of providing great value for our participants. If there are specific presenters (or topics) that you wish to see within our events, please send us their details or request them to contact Webineyes directly. We also actively encourage new talent, so perhaps the next presenter could be you?
Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will be happy to help you.

The Yida Photography Exhibit
a powerful traveling art installation examining the crisis in Sudan
The Yida Photography Exhibit examines the crisis in Sudan through the lives of those who have escaped. The 313 breathtaking images featured in this traveling exhibit are part of a collection of 4,535 photos taken in Yida Refugee Camp by Operation Broken Silence's photographers.
What Is Yida?
Yida is a refugee camp that sits just a few miles south of the international border that divides Sudan and South Sudan. This community is home to tens of thousands of people who have fled the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, where the country's military regime has waged a genocidal war against the Nuba people since 2011. Official humanitarian and media access to the Nuba Mountains has been banned by the Sudanese government, but this has not stopped the most determined nonprofits and journalists from reaching the Nuba people.
What Is The Exhibit?
The Yida Photography Exhibit is an immersive experience that takes your community into what life is like in the refugee camp. But this is more than your average photo exhibit. Throughout this experience, your community will be introduced to the crisis in Sudan, who refugees are, different aspects of Nuba culture and life in Yida, and tangible ways to get involved in supporting the Sudanese people through fundraising and giving.
Designed To Stunning Perfection
This exhibit is more than just a bunch of images. Photos are grouped together into sections and the stories behind them told to viewers. The entire exhibit is actually designed after several physical locations in the camp, like the laundry area in this photo. And the display pieces are interchangeable and mobile, meaning that the exhibit can be molded to the shape and size of various rooms and buildings without even using a venue's walls.
An Engaging Experience
Throughout the exhibit, viewers are presented various ways to get involved. These "Get Involved" options range from signing petitions, writing a brief letter explaining why they came or what they learned that we will use to promote the exhibit at future showings, social media sharing opportunities to raise awareness, and completing Pledge Cards that provide specific opportunities to empower the Sudanese people.
Host The Yida Photography Exhibit

Our organization can provide video content and flyer designs exclusive to your hosting as part of the experience.

Dramatic footage shows how sleeping driver causes fatal crash
Shocking footage has been released of the moment a van driver fell asleep at the wheel causing a crash that killed a Wiltshire pensioner.
Christopher Trusler had been awake for 14 hours before he fell asleep and drifted onto the wrong side of the road, hitting a vehicle driven by 71-year old David Wakefield from Aldbourne.
Two years later Mr Wakefield's son Ash has released footage of the cash to encourage people not to drive when tired.
Mr Trusler had reportedly been awake for 14 hours before he fell asleep at the wheel.
His flat bed van crashed into a vehicle driven by 71 year old David Wakefield on the A420 near Abingdon.
Ash Wakefield says there is a serious problem with people working long hours and then driving.
Mr Trusler, who worked for a traffic management company, admitted driving on the wrong side of the road and causing the fatal collision. He was sentenced to two years in prison.

E-Signatures, Part 2. Practical Tips Regarding Use.
The responses to my first blog post regarding electronic signatures have generally confirmed what I was already thinking about the topic—many lawyers have been accepting electronic signatures and operating under the protections of UETA and SIGN without even knowing it. Given the positive feedback based on my last post, I've decided to do a second blog entry on the topic with more of an emphasis on practice pointers. I've practiced commercial real estate law for almost 7 years now (6 ½ of those with one of the premiere real estate law firms in the Southeast), but I've never seen a big or small law firm utilize a program such as Docusign, Echosign, or Yozens for purposes of contract or closing documentation in the commercial real estate context. On the flip side, 4 months ago, my residential broker in Atlanta used an electronic signature program for document execution when we sold […]Continue Reading

Pages 896-901
This paper presents a compact and broadband microstrip patch antenna array (BMPAA) with uniform linear array configuration of 4x1 element for 3G applications. The 4⨯1 BMPAA was designed and developed by integrating new patch shape Hybrid E-H shape, L-probe feeding, inverted patch structure with air filled dielectric microstrip patch antenna (MPA) element. The array was constructed using two dielectric layer arrangement with a thick air-filled substrate sandwiched between a top-loaded dielectric substrate (RT 5880) with inverting radiating patch and a ground plane. The Lprobe fed inverted hybrid E-H (LIEH) shaped BMPAA achieves an impedance bandwidth of 17.32% referenced to the center frequency at 2.02 GHz (at VSWR ? 1.5), maximum achievable gain of 11.9±1dBi, and 23 dB crosspolarization level.

Yapili | Connecting people in Africa to licensed physicians
Health at hand, that's what this month's company YAPILI aims to deliver. The company started in November 2014 by a group of four young entrepreneurs who met in East Africa through the startup incubator, Ampion. Eventually their team grew to include skills ranging from front-end development to public health and policy expertise. Last year, YAPILI opened an office in The Hague. Ms. Sherzel Smit, co-founder of Yapili, spoke to us about their first year of doing business in The Hague.
For those who are unfamiliar with your company, can you tell us a bit about your company?
"YAPILI delivers health at hand – it connects African people to licensed physicians, both locally and internationally. We provide an online platform and an Android app for health advice and follow-up as well as secure digital health records. It is easy to use, maintain and scale. Inspired by the phenomenon of gig-economy and end-user platforms in other industries, YAPILI brings the innovative model to healthcare and relies on three elements leading it to success at scale: real-time, crowd-based and peer-to-peer. YAPILI opens up borders and changes the way the world collaborates for health.
Access to healthcare services is difficult for the vast majority of Africans. Many live great distances from the clinic, must wait in long lines, and pay unaffordable fees. Meanwhile, Africa is rapidly advancing in technology. By the end 2017, 30% of Africans will have a smartphone, and internet penetration is 70% in countries such as Kenya. People are using mobile technology to interact, send money and do so much to enhance their daily lives. So we thought, what if we could leverage mobile technology to expand access to healthcare. What if health advice could be at hand? This is YAPILI."
What does Yapili mean or stand for?
"YAPILI means 'Second' in Swahili – we like to think of it as a second – alternative – way of seeking health advice. YAPILI also sounds like 'happily' which makes it a cheerful name for an initiative bringing better health to more people around the world."
In 2016 you opened your first office in The Hague. Why did you decide to establish in The Hague and what has been your overall experience in the first year of doing business here?
"We felt that The Hague was the right place for our social impact initiative right away. It has a great combination of NGO's, businesses and knowledge institutes, which offers a lot of opportunities for collaboration. The first thing we noticed when setting up in The Hague was the fact that the social impact business is something that everyone talks about in the city. Like-minded people and a fully packed agenda with events and forums allowed us to meet partners, employees and advisory board members.
With the municipality actively involved in supporting social enterprises there is a lot of advantages for startups like YAPILI to be in The Hague. Our main takeaway from our first year is that it does require a proactive approach to benefit from these opportunities. We found that many NGO's are interested in working with innovative startups but it's not yet in their DNA to actively search for new partnerships."
You are supported by the municipality of The Hague through their Impact City Program. Can you explain what this support entails?
"When we first met with the city representatives we had an idea and a vision. Everything else from that point to where we are today is, to a big extent, thanks to the confidence expressed in our concept and the team by the municipality of The Hague and their partners. We have been provided with the numerous opportunities to grow our initiative from the very ground: partnering up with regional university and research community, logistical and legal assistance, etc."
Can you tell us something about the recent developments of YAPILI?
"Since the start, we have been able to successfully launch our platform across Africa and finalize our Android application. This was a very important milestone as the Android app will optimize the user experience and the increase of mobile usage will offer more security and privacy to users over shared desktops. This was actually a direct result from our presence in The Hague as we formed a strategic partnership with First Line Software, a leading global IT company that also has an office in The Hague and who supported us in building the Android application. The main focus now is on business development and scaling the platform further."
Trying to find finance for you project can be time consuming we imagine. How is this experience for you and are you still in search of extra funding to kick-start/launch your platform in this phase?
"Indeed, this is our next major milestone – bringing in a successful round of investment. Thanks to our own efforts, the support from the city and the partners we could get where we are right now: the platform is up and running from both technical and legal point of view. We extended the accessibility to the platform through a mobile app, we on-boarded our first users and first doctors and we already see the activity on the platform picking up big time. However, we are starting to reach the limits of what we can do ourselves considering our limited resources.
Further technical improvements of the platform and its functionalities, higher scale in terms of user care and data storage, big data framework and other growth opportunities require further resources. We hope to find strategic investors and partners who are able to see the benefits and the long term vision of stepping into a traction-based business model for mHealth in Africa and beyond.
The next step will be crucial as we want to carefully find a strategic investor that is in line with the core values of YAPILI and can bring in both a financial impulse as well as complementary expertise. We already noticed that there is a lot of interest in the developments in the African healthcare market and our activities, so during the next months of our pilot we want to start the discussions with potential investment partners."
Are there any major new developments planned that we should keep an eye out for?
"Yes, the Android app will soon be available on Google Play store, which is exciting. And we are also looking for vertical market partners (more specifically, for the instances of maternal care and diabetes & hypertension) because we think YAPILI has great potential in systematizing care for chronic conditions. On top of that we are planning to establish better local presence with local partners in our target markets, particularly Botswana, Kenya and Tanzania, over the course of the next few months."

Parents and guardians in Pennsylvania should know the signs of child sexual abuse as well as what to do if they suspect abuse is taking place.
It goes without saying that child sexual abuse happens at an alarming rate. Getting an accurate picture of how many minors in Pennsylvania are affected by such atrocities is difficult, as many incidents go unreported. However, as the National Center for Victims of Crime states, it is believed that one in 20 boys and as many as one in five girls experience it.
One of the ways to correct the problem is to be able to catch the warning signs that it is happening. Below are five red flags that could indicate that a little one is suffering sexual abuse:
1. Eating habits change
A change in the amount a child is eating could signify a number of things. Illness certainly can cause a change in appetite. However, emotional turmoil often results in one of two extremes: binge eating or avoiding food entirely. When the change is significant, it should alert parents or guardians that something is amiss.
2. Demonstrating adult-like behavior
Children who have experienced sexual abuse may suddenly start conducting themselves in a manner much more advanced than their age. These behaviors are typically negatives: such as cursing, knowledge of sexual activity or acting out sexually.
3. Has trouble sleeping
Abuse may lead to nightmares. Other sleep problems may arise, such as bed-wetting well after being potty trained or a general difficulty sleeping. Children may describe dreams that involve sexual activity or frightening images.
4. Discusses a new "friend"
Young children especially may not recognize that what is happening is wrong. Instead, they may talk freely about a new older "friend" they have made at school or church. The new person in the child's life may be gifting the child with money or toys, as predators often do this to win a child's trust or in exchange for their discretion.
5. Sudden negative self-image
Many victims of abuse start thinking of themselves as dirty or repulsive. They may begin to show symptoms of hating their body or feeling worthless. The child may seem distant or withdrawn.
Each of these is a clue that something could be wrong with a child. While it may not always mean abuse is happening, it should trigger an adult to look further into the issue. Whether a child acknowledges abuse is happening or not, parents and guardians who suspect it is happening should seek help immediately.
The U.S. Department of Justice's National Sex Offender Public Website recommends calling the National Sexual Assault Hotline to report the issue. Seeking medical attention for any injuries is also important.
These situations are difficult on many levels and for a number of reasons. People who have concerns about this topic should speak with a sexual abuse attorney in Pennsylvania.

The school works successfully with children and young people who may have been reluctant learners, those who may have been out of school for a time or those have found it hard to engage in education. Staff support children and young people to gain a range of meaningful qualifications, have a positive schooling experience and gain the self-confidence to continue on their journey in to adult life.
Young people leave with qualifications in, at least, the core subjects and 'soft skills' such as first aid and food hygiene. Skills which will support and promote employability.
We work with a local Career Connect Advisors to develop strategies and prepare young people for work and adult life.
The advisor begins work with the young people and families in year 9 which promotes positive relationships.
We also work in partnership with a number of colleges and vocational training centres during KS4 to secure foundation vocational qualifications. This helps build a positive transition to post-16 provision for those young people with an EHCP.

Meet Author Susan Coventry
Have you met…Author, Susan Coventry
At Woodchuck, we know how lucky we are to work with some of the greatest business owners in the nation. Sometimes we wonder if our clients realize the diverse industries we work with. And we wouldn't have it any other way!
Each day is something new for us. We work with clients from an array of industries like advertising to manufacturing and sports equipment dealers to preschools. We learn new things all the time! So we thought how fun it would be to share our clients with, well…our other clients!
This week, we wanted to focus our spotlight on our client Susan Coventry, author extraordinaire. Susan has been working with us for a couple of years now to design the book covers for her "fun and flirty" romance novels. She always amazes us with her productivity and awesome talents! We sat down with Susan (ok, we chucked emails back and forth) to dig a little deeper into what makes her tick and what her industry is like! Take a minute and get to know her too, you'll be glad you did!
WCA: Describe your typical working day.
I spend the first half hour of each day on marketing tasks, including promoting my books, posting on social media, and responding to emails. After that, I write and/or edit for a few hours. I usually break for lunch and walk my dog, and then I'm back at it again for another two to three hours.
WCA: Do you show your work to anyone before it is complete?
No! My editor is the first person to read my finished work.
WCA: What book had the biggest impact on you?
I've read so many wonderful books, however, the Outlander series is my favorite. This series has it all: romance, history, suspense, and fantasy. I love it!
WCA: If you had a theme song, what would it be?
This Is Me by Keala Settle from The Greatest Showman soundtrack.
WCA: Is there any piece of your real life that finds its way into your books?
Absolutely! Food preferences, places I've been, books, movies, and songs I like, have all found their way into my books.
WCA: What's the strangest job you have ever had?
I once interviewed for a job as an administrative assistant at a morgue. I didn't take the position, but that's the strangest job I almost had.
WCA: How many books do you think you own?
Hundreds! I have a bookcase with over 100 books that I haven't read yet, and two bookcases full of books that I have read. Not to mention the books on my Kindle.
WCA: If you weren't an author, what would your ideal career be?
A bookstore owner—big surprise! I would love to own a cozy bookstore in downtown Clarkston near where I live.
WCA: What is one thing you hope readers take away from your stories?
That love conquers all!
WCA: What haven't we asked that you want people to know?
Who's been your biggest supporter? My husband. If it weren't for his encouragement, I might never have submitted my first manuscript to an editor. And now, here I am, eleven books later and still writing. At the end of the day, he's my number one fan.
We appreciate the time Susan took to share a little piece of her world with us! Maybe her story will encourage you to follow a passion that has been put off far too long! Afterall, you should love what you do!
You can find more information about Susan at susancoventry.org!
The incredible thing about the internet is that we can work anywhere! Woodchuck Arts is geo-located in Newark, Ohio, Caledonia, MI and Toledo, OH. We serve clients from Seattle, Washington, to Washington D.C.

Ceiling Full Of Thousands Of Spiders May Be The Worst Thing Ever (Video)
Arachnophobia is among the most common human fears -- and for good reason: A spider, with its eight legs, eight eyes and occasional man-killing capabilities is a terrifying creature.
Sure, spiders might be great for pest control, but that's only because they're evil, venomous predators themselves.
Honestly, the only thing worse than one spider is multiple spiders, which is exactly why this video, posted to Facebook by a man named Mikel Mass, is so f*cking terrifying.
Post by Mikel Maas.
The gut-wrenching footage shows what happens when hundreds of spiders are left to breed in an abandoned building.
You're going to want to take a long shower after this one.
Check out the video, up top, but don't say we didn't warn you.
