The Battle-Tested Way To Grow Revenue In Hospitality
Time and time again, people ask me what it is that we do that consistently brings our hospitality businesses to success. These people have never seen any of our business' financials — their assessment is based purely on the sheer number of customers they see on our premises at any given time.
Be Prepared
The remarks from our regulars generally follow the lines of 'You can't get a seat here anymore!' accompanied by a *wink wink*. Our regulars know we'll move heaven and earth to find them a place to sit, and then upgrade their seating as soon as possible — in truth we already have a spot in mind.
Being 5 steps ahead is vital to running a thriving business. You have to anticipate your customer's every need and consistently surpass their expectations, while being prepared for anything else that can happen within a daily trading environment.
But let's rewind a few months, or a couple of years for that matter, and gain an understanding of just how simple it really is.
Lay the Groundwork
Once you have selected the best trading location you can get your hands on, and your start-up finances are firmly under control, building a business is very simple. All it requires is relentless focus.
So you've made the life-changing decision to open your own espresso bar, café, bistro or restaurant…
What you need to do now is some research.
You have to sit down and start creating a list of things you're going to do to make people love your business more than the competition. Let's call this your "Bag of Tricks". This is where the most difficult part of it all is buried.
This is where you need to grab the bull by the horns.
Implement Your "Bag of Tricks"
Practicing and maintaining your use of this "Bag of Tricks" is what will make or break your business. With a little luck and a lot of hard work, it can turn your offering into a roaring success story.
You need to consistently and persistently implement your "Bag of Tricks", every second of every single day, without exception. This is the method of winners, and must be instilled in your staff at every single opportunity, but most importantly, you must live it and believe in it yourself to make it sustainable.
Creating and nurturing a highly accommodating culture is pivotal to your brand's personality. You should strive to create an ambience your customer can practically taste.
Stay True to Your Vision
At all times, the vision and central personality of your business should be consistently reflected by your staff. Your attention to your employees' morale and performance is critical to the growth of your business.
Regular customers are the lifeblood of the hospitality industry. They are not easily won, but when you win them, your mission is to keep them. One slip is all it takes for them to feel betrayed. They are trusting you with their hard earned money and free time, 2 very precious commodities.
Your customer will only be loyal to you if you and your staff are loyal to them — it's that simple. When you embrace that and live that, healthy revenue is an inevitable side-effect.
Let's take the following situation as an example of what I'm talking about.
You've just finished serving the 298th customer for the day and you're feeling more than a little worn to say the least. You're making the same small-talk with customer number 299, about the weather and life's small difficulties.
There is only one attitude you can afford in this situation. Customer 299 is NOT your 299th customer, they are your first customer, and they could be your last. They could be a professional blogger, a food critic, or just someone with a big voice who works across the road in an office of 50 staff. Every single person has the power to sing praises about your service, and just as much power to wipe you off the map.
Your single purpose is to make a positive impact on every single one of your customers.
Your One Way Ticket to Revenue Growth
You now have the foundations in place that will help you grow your turnover sustainably and reliably.
Increasing your customer count from 300 to 1000 is a process that happens on its own. Surprised? Allow me to elaborate.
Day by day, minute by minute, you're instilling a sense of familiarity and ease in your customer. You're becoming part of their daily routine. Over time, they'll recommend you to their friends and coworkers.
People already have their own established routines. You often need to break their existing habits in order to include yourself in their daily, weekly, or monthly schedule.
We all want to belong to something. We identify with things surrounding us that bring quality, trust and reliability into our daily lives. When a business is able to show those qualities to its customer, it becomes a worthwhile part of that person's day.
In Conclusion
It is not the newly painted walls that drives people to your business, nor the world class coffee machine standing proudly on top of a high gloss bench. Its all about paying meticulous attention to your customer in every possible way.
It isn't hard to do. This approach to customer service is as old as the hospitality industry itself. The hard part is doing it every minute, every hour, every day. That's the only secret.
The greatest mistake people make in business is thinking that their business is about them. Your business is never about you. It's always, always about your customer.
What do you get out of it? Personal satisfaction, and the financial reward for the effort you put in.

Geo Bowl live-stream part of event's update
Organizers of Jacksonville High School's annual Geography Bowl, now in its 25th year, decided to change and improve this year's competitive event.
Better known as the Geo Bowl, the event is designed to test the geography knowledge of fifth- and sixth-graders in Jacksonville School District 117 and surrounding school districts.
This year's Geo Bowl begins at 6 p.m. Wednesday at JHS.
Jim Chelsvig, JHS teacher and Geography Club sponsor, explained the changes and improvements to this year's event.
"As the Geo Bowl came to a close last year, we reviewed and discussed ways to make the 2017 event distinctive and improved," Chelsvig said. "Therefore, I tasked the Geography Club members to suggest ideas, and they did not disappoint."
The main difference in this year's event is that it will be live-streamed to the School District 117 YouTube channel from the JHS Media Center, where the competition takes place.
Parents of Geo Bowl contestants will be able to watch the matches via live stream on a screen in the JHS auditorium, or on their smartphone, computer or tablet. Parents of contestants will not be allowed in the JHS Media Center.
"They will not be allowed in the Media Center for two reasons," Chelsvig said. "First of all, to improve audio quality, we wanted to remove as much background noise as possible. The second reason is because we wanted to create the most ideal setting for students to think and compete. We hope it will make all contestants feel more comfortable and at ease."
Geography Club members and JHS seniors Fisher Thomas and Luke Hewitt decided to live-stream this year's Geo Bowl for the first time.
"I have live-streamed video games in the past and knew that the Geo Bowl was well-suited for that medium," Thomas said.
He added that five high-definition cameras will record each Geo Bowl match instead of the single camera that was used in the past.
"The five cameras will give us two viewing angles per team and a clear shot of the questions, which will appear in the center of a screen," Thomas said.

Whether you are a real estate veteran or a newcomer, it is easy to feel lost in the process of a real estate purchase offer. However, your clients will depend on you to explain the details and the nitty-gritty of an offer.

Please note: The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio will now be called "UT Health San Antonio."
Congratulations to one of our students Joseph Valentine in the Biology of Aging discipline of the Integrated Biomedical Sciences program whose co-first author paper has been accepted by Aging Cell and is currently in press. Valentine is in the lab of Dr. Nicolas Musi at the Barshop Institute for Longevity and Aging.
The paper is entitled "Sustained NF-kB inhibition improves insulin sensitivity but is detrimental to muscle health."
Valentine explained that this achievement has been exciting for him because he is able to share his work with the community.
"Every day that I go to lab I am excited because I know that I will learn something new about skeletal muscle biology and it is very rewarding when I have a chance to share my findings with the scientific community," he said.
Valentine's project researches sarcopenia, which is the loss of muscle mass and strength as we age. Specifically, he is interested in the relationship between elevated inflammation and sarcopenia which occurs at the same time during aging in mice and humans.
"My lab and others have also shown that as we age there is an increase in inflammation within the muscle itself. This skeletal muscle inflammation is not a result of infection and is much much less intense than that which occurs during an infection," he explained. "Inflammation of this magnitude has been shown to play a role in muscle wasting due to pathological conditions (cancer induced muscle loss or disuse/denervation)."
His project tested whether reducing inflammation could protect mice from sarcopenia and his results were surprising.
"We genetically suppressed inflammation in the skeletal muscle of mice and found, unexpectedly, that this resulted in even greater loss of muscle mass and function during aging compared to just normal mouse aging," he explained. "These findings suggest to us that the mechanisms or reasons for the loss of muscle mass and function during aging are different than those of pathological muscle wasting."
Valentine explained that he has learned a lot from this experience of being co-first author on a publication.
"It is exciting working on a project, which resulted in the acquisition of data worthy of sharing first authorship on a publication. I learned that there is a lot more to being a good scientist then just the accumulation of good data. That is an important part of science for sure but if you cannot communicate and interpret your data in a meaningful and cogent way then you cannot share it with the community," he said.
Valentine explained that the key to his success was making sure that his experiments were well designed with proper controls and extreme attention to detail so that he was confident in his data, regardless of whether they support his hypothesis or not.
Valentine's next goal is to understand why reducing inflammation in the skeletal muscle of mice leads to an early life sarcopenia-like phenotype.

Noble Pig Sandwiches
John Bates and Brandon Martinez of the Noble Pig are two of the nicest guys you will ever meet, and I'm not just saying that because they make the best BLT sandwich in town. A few months ago these self proclaimed sandwich aficionados opened Noble Pig Sandwiches in an unassuming strip mall in far northwest Austin. But don't let the storefront fool you, their passion for affordable approachable food is obvious in every single bite. And after just one taste of pork belly you'll likely be looking for reasons to drive back to the little strip mall on HWY 620.

March 2018
Dear Parents,
Happy birthday to Arizona, Jaden, Sutter, and Michael this month.
We would like to welcome Quinn to our program.
We had many exciting things to talk about and celebrate this past month. It all started with an exciting Chinese New Years celebration where we decorated the classroom and brought out special dress up items. We also had fun predicting the weather and making groundhogs for groundhog day. We always enjoy celebrating Valentines day and talking about families for Family day. All the children made Valentines gifts for their families, and made cards for each other. We learned that being a good friend means cooperation, sharing, giving, and accepting compliments and apologies.
The children love pets, so we discussed different pets, what sounds they make, what they eat, and where they live. We also started talking about fruits and vegetables because we want to be healthy.
March is national reading month, so we will read some new stories and we invite the children to bring their favorite books so they can share them with all our friends. We will be learning about different types of weather, such as wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. For Saint Patrick's Day, we will be making some leprechauns, pots of gold, and rainbows. Children can dress up in green on Friday March 16th.

From my History in Politics series:
The recent 5-4 decision by the United States Supreme Court in a case brought before them through the intervention of a group known as Citizens United has created a major sensation on the American political scene. It joins other landmark cases such as Roe Versus Wade and Brown Versus School Board in its making of waves, and some commentators have even dipped into the deep past and likened it to the Dred Scott case on slavery prior to the Civil War and Plessy Versus Ferguson on segregation after 1865.
What the Supreme Court decided by a one vote margin was that money equaled free speech and its use could not be curtailed by State laws during elections. To the dissenters, this meant that elections in America now could be legally "bought."
So what do we know about this group that successfully challenged spending limits on the amount that individuals (which include corporations and labor unions) can use to support candidates who, from their point of view, if elected, will favor their donors in the passage of legislation?
David Bossie is not a name known to most Americans. For the past decade, the Massachusetts native has been President and Chairman of an outfit that Wikipedia describes as "a conservative advocacy organization." He apparently first surfaced during a CBS investigative report on "dirty tricks" in connection with harassment of the family of a young woman in Arkansas who committed suicide – an action that was said to have been inspired by an alleged affair with President Bill Clinton. Next Bossie, in Washington, D.C., was involved in the exposing the Clintons' ties to the so-called Whitewater scandal. Working for Indiana Congressman, Dan Burton , Chairman of the House Committee investigating the Arkansas land deal gone sour, Bossie was actually fired for having tampered with various documents and recordings.
As an author, Bossie's work is predictably right-wing and includes attacks on John Kerry, Hilary Clinton and Al Gore. He has also made slanted movies – one of which attributes the 2008 financial plunge not to the manipulations of Wall Street, but to "the selfishness of the Baby Boomer generation."
Citizens United reached the zenith of its political effectiveness when its challenge to expenditure reached the U.S Supreme Court. The landmark 5-4 decision in the case of Citizens United Versus Federal Election Commission resulted in a prevailing opinion that the First Amendment to the Constitution does not allow government to put restrictions on political messages by corporations and labor unions. Citizens United brought their suit because it wanted to advertise a film it had made attacking Hillary Clinton in apparent violation of the Bi-Partisan Campaign Reform Act ( McCain-Feingold) passed in 2002. That law would have prevented the film from being shown on TV within 30 days of the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primaries, in which Hillary Clinton was a candidate.
Rather unnoticed in all of the commotion caused by the ruling was the fact that the Court's fiat did not undo requirements in any of these political ads for "disclaimers and disclosures" by the sponsors.
Thus, jumping ahead to 2011 and the November 11th vote in Ohio to overturn that State Legislature's passage of bill to end collective bargaining for public workers, Citizens United weighed in with a six figure donation -$100,000 to play a 30 second TV spot. David Bossie openly announced this donation from this group, but there was no mention of who had really paid for it. The circumstances brought a response from the pro-workers coalition that Citizens United's move was "a desperate attempt by another shadowy out-of-State group that refuses to disclose the source of its money."
Citizens United's infusion of cash, however, did not have the desired effect. By a whopping 60-40 margin, the Ohio Republicans anti-worker, anti-middle class legislation was defeated.
While it is obvious that the untraceable six figure donation by the Citizens United organization did not succeed in buying the Ohio election, the same may not be true in future cases. Money needed for campaigns had already surged to hitherto unimaginable heights and consumes most candidates for major office. The media already categorizes those who enter the political arena as viable (if they can raise money) or non-viable (if they cannot). Public disgust with elected officials directly follows out of such buying and selling of political favors. Note that only 9 percent of the electorate approves of Congress.
The Citizen United's verdict only exacerbates the problem. If money is free speech, then our democracy as we have known it will be eventually doomed. One can bet that Citizens United is funded by the top 1 percent of the richest Americans who now will be able to use their wealth to influence elections more easily – one could even say "freely" – in buying more privileges for themselves. Their attempts, through will'o'the wisps nostrums like 9-9-9 or the Texas Flat Tax, to garner for the rich ever more of an unbalanced chunk of the national fiscal pie, do follow a twisted path back into America's past to the pre-Revolutionary Tory aristocracy against which we revolted.
Even now, efforts are under way to counteract this blow to our American liberties by working for an amendment to the Constitution to undo this injustice. We have been there before with other horrid Supreme Court decisions, for example when a pro-slavery U.S. Supreme Court majority declared that a slave was always a slave, even in a free State, or that "separate" meant "equal" when it so clearly didn't.
In those earlier cases, we Americans eventually "overcame." Hopefully, we will bestir ourselves to do so once again.

They wanted to make the experience more appealing to a wide range of audiences, break down the barrier between stage and audience. The first thing they wanted to change was where shows happened. They recognized the value of standard, often stuffy venues for classical music. Concert halls and churches are "typically wonderful acoustic experiences," Philipps says. "But everyone brings their own assumptions into a space like that." New venues might bring new audiences. And shorn of the baggage and expectations that traditional venues impose, new spaces might encourage the composers themselves to take their music to previously unknown dimensions. "We didn't really know what kind of space we wanted until we saw it," Philipps said: the new Portland studio of the international design and planning firm PLACE, offered by a friend of Wright's. "As a non-concert space, there's less separation and more back-and-forth," Philipps explains. "The audience feels more like they're part of a special event." The space also afforded more opportunities to bring in different kinds of art, including works by multimedia Finnish sculptor Melita Westerlund . It also made "Fire and Ice" a good fit for Design Week Portland , which explores design across all disciplines. "We're fascinated with the immense potentialities inherent in novel intersections of music, design, poetry, movement, and art in all forms," Wright says. "You compose differently when bringing these other artists. Deep collaborations give you more capabilities for reaching people, touching people. It's more fun for people if you can give them an experience with so many elements involved. It's like the old-fashioned variety shows -- eclectic and exciting and something for everyone." The space and concept liberated Marsh, a Portland State University music professor whose experiences include singing jazz and playing keyboards in a punk band.

The Fijian flyer was making a beeline for the corner, as the clinical Storm continued to pile on points against the hapless Dragons in the first half, but the defence was quickly converging. Vunivalu maintained his course and as he was about to be bundled over the sideline jumped, spun and somehow managed to plant the ball down one-handed in an amazing display of athleticism. The decision was sent upstairs to the video referee and the Channel Nine commentary team was stunned when the green light was flashed to take the Storm to a 16-0 lead. "There's no way he can score this try," Andrew Johns said. "(There's) that iconic photo of Michael Jordan just flying through the air. It was like he was hovering above the ground." @NRLBunker/Twitter Melbourne winger Suliasi Vunivalu defied the laws of physics and gravity to create a try-scoring opportunity against St George Illawarra. Mathew Thompson added: "He knows he's going to go out there so he goes aerial and backs his athleticism to get it down. He just takes off." It was Vunivalu's second try of the afternoon as the Storm put on a clinic in the opening 40 minutes to take an imposing 22-4 lead into the halftime break in the top-of-the-table clash.

My solution was using together a business loan proposal to get a significant loan from a bank, then hire a few people.

Once seen as an exclusive, luxury choice for couples to celebrate a special anniversary or an exceptional occasion, cruising the Mediterranean or the Caribbean has now become a popular, mainstream holiday for an increasing number of families, which may include grandparents and close friends too.
Cruising is one of the safest types of holiday and any unfortunate incident is more likely to be a minor mishap. Nevertheless, more serious accidents can and do occur. Even a slight injury can often bring the holiday to an abrupt and dismal end, and may potentially have unseen consequences for the unfortunate victim's health in the longer term.
It is important that as passengers, you and your family and friends should be aware of the statutory 'duty of care' owed by the cruise operators. Seeking legal redress and recovering compensation for a personal injury received at any point during a cruising holiday can sometimes be more complex than first thought. Your Legal Friend has more than 30 years of invaluable experience and specialist knowledge in helping British holidaymakers to successfully secure damages if they suffer an accident or injury through no fault of their own while on a holiday cruise.
Did you know...
The most common cruise ship accidents ... are caused by rogue waves up to 100 ft / 30m high, storms, fires and collisions.
The most common types of passenger claims... involve outbreaks of bacterial infection, slips / trips and falls, beauty treatment errors, and food-poisoning caused by contamination from salmonella, campylobacter, e-coli, hepatitis, or botulism, which can rapidly spread in a restricted space.
What you should know before you leave...
It is always vitally important to read and understand the terms and conditions of the cruise ticket contract before you leave. The documentation should contain all the limitations against the cruise ship line/company and the specific terms for entering an injury claim for an accident that may occur on your cruise holiday.
Even if the terms of the contract ticket seem to exclude the complaint you wish to pursue, it is crucial to seek professional legal advice as it may be likely that a case can be successfully made for damages and to recover compensation.
Athens Convention...
Getting on and off the boat
The Athens Convention is a regime of liability for damage/loss suffered by passengers on seagoing vessels for EU member states. It was implemented in England and Wales by the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea Act 1974, and sets out that the "duty of care" owed by seagoing vessels relates not only the carriage of passengers and luggage by sea but also includes passengers who are either getting on or off the boat. This means that if you are injured even before you get onboard or reach dry-land, you may still have a strong compensation claim.
Cruising from a UK port
The Athens Convention applies to EU member states, including cruises that start and finish in a UK port only, such as Southampton but does not apply to domestic cruises around the British Isles/coast of Scotland.
Strict liability for passenger personal injury...
Because all sea carriers are obliged to have insurance, they would have a strict liability for passenger personal injury, fatality or any shipping related incidents unless there is evidence to show the incident was caused by natural phenomenon of an "exceptional, inevitable and irresistible character", or wholly caused by a third party, etc
According to the above conditions it would not be necessary for a "fault-based" liability for negligence to be established by the claimant, which is the usual requirement as fault is presumed on the part of the carrier unless they can prove otherwise. However, a claim must be brought within two years of the incident taking place.
While it might be natural to assume that a personal injury claim can also be made against a package holiday operator if injured during a cruise, legal action will almost always be in accordance with the Athens Convention and not under Package Holiday Regulations.
Holidaymakers will still be able to make a just complaint for a 'spoilt holiday' according to Package Holiday Regulations but this will be a separate action.
What you should always do if you suffer an accident or injury...
You must report the cruise accident/injury immediately after it occurred, collect witness testimonies, photograph and carefully document as much information about the incident.
It is vital to follow up any onboard medical treatment with a thorough examination and detailed report from your GP and / or a specialist doctor once you return home from the cruise.
If a complaint made to a cruise line operator fails to bring any satisfactory response, immediately seek professional legal advice to determine the extent of your entitlement to claim, even if the cruise company makes a settlement offer.
Specialist solicitors at Your Legal Friend will clearly explain and provide the correct guidance to help you succeed in recovering the maximum level of financial compensation following an accident or injury which occurred on a holiday cruise.

CLICK ON weeks 0 - 40 and follow along every 2 weeks of fetal development
Lying face up pregnant could increase risk of stillbirth
Pregnant women who lie on their backs in the third trimester may be increasing the risk of stillbirth, according to a study published in The Journal of Physiology.
They are a common occurrence, with around 1 in 227 births in the UK ending in stillbirth. Recent studies have shown that maternal position is important for the baby's health, but it was unclear how position can affect the wellbeing of the fetus.
The researchers monitored the fetal and maternal heart rate for 29 healthy pregnant women in the third trimester while changing and maintaining maternal positions for 30 minutes at a time. The 'fetal behavioural state', a measure of fetal health, was recorded for each maternal position. Each woman was followed until delivery and all babies were born in a healthy condition.
Peter Stone, Professor of Maternal Fetal medicine at the University of Auckland and lead investigator of the study explained,"We have only looked at the effect of maternal positions for a short period of time while the mother is awake. Further research is needed to see the effect of staying in certain maternal sleeping positions overnight."

Get ready for another steamy Weather Wednesday!
Say hello to Florida in the summer time. We will be in the same pattern each and every day! We started off mild and muggy this morning and then temperatures will head to around 90 this afternoon. We also began the day with plenty of sunshine, but them thunderstorms will move in.
Starting towards our inland communities, the storms will build and move east towards the coast. Heavy downpours and frequent lightning strikes will be common. A few severe storms are possible as well with gusty winds and small hail.
We will be dry late tonight and overnight into Thursday morning, before more storms develop Thursday afternoon.
If anyone wants to head to the beach or go boating, do it in the morning hours prior to the storms developing.

1997 was an amazing year... Erik Sigurdson's first daughter was born and he founded Courtsports!
In the beginning Erik focused on recoating existing gym floors only.
But within a year Erik decided to purchase a drum sander and he began installing and refinishing gym floors as well.
The company thrived for years as one of the highest volume gym flooring companies in the United States. Erik and his crews would often service up to 300 gymnasium floors each summer! He had landed contracts with several NBA and NCAA teams. These high profile customers encouraged others to follow. Millions of square feet of flooring were being painted, coated, and sanded each year by Erik and his crews.
For the first 5 years Erik tested and tried every product available for hardwood gym floors - seals, finishes, paints, abrasives, cleaners, etc. Most of the products he tested worked fine, but each of them had flaws. Many of the manufacturing companies were using old technologies and their products hadn't been improved. Many schools were recoating in-house and the custodians were using products that were overly expensive and didn't hold up very well. Most schools were using cleaners that weren't intended for hardwood floors, which over time damaged their floor surfaces (or left residues) and they became slippery. Erik decided it was the perfect time and an excellent opportunity to launch a new product line for maintaining gym floors.
Erik created an oil-modified urethane coating system called Polydefender. It's much more clear in color, compared to competitive polys that are normally very golden. Polydefender dries harder, allows for a second coat faster, and the odor is minimal. Polydefender will hide 150 grit screening marks with just one coat! Today 19 NBA teams use Polydefender on their court floors!
A two-part waterborne coating system called Aquadefender was created for low VOC regions. One of the main problems with waterborne coatings is the workability. Aquadefender doesn't foam-up, it levels out, streak-free, and still dries within 3-4 hours! Two coats of Aquadefender will hide 180 grit screening marks. Today we're seeing many regions increase VOC regulations, which makes Aquadefender the perfect choice!
Most paints offered for gym floors weren't developed for hardwood surfaces. Often companies use general-purpose enamels, marine enamels, and standard acrylics you can buy in any paint store. These paints don't hold up very on gym floors that expand, contract, and experience vertical deflection from jumping and bouncing balls. Gameliner Paint was developed for these extreme conditions that are experienced on all gym floors. It's a very elastic paint that won't shatter with normal gym floor movement. Gameliner dries quickly, covers with one coat, and lays out smooth. And all colors can be custom blended. Gameliner is the perfect paint for game lines, logos, and lettering!
Erik would often visit his customers newly refinished courts and he noticed most floors weren't being cleaned properly. Floors were dirty, grity, and dusty. Residue from cleaners was making the surface dull. And body perspiration was making the surfaces slippery. Nobody was teaching schools how to clean their floors properly. Most schools were learning how to clean from janitorial supply salesmen who have never actually cleaned a gym floor. Often the cleaners they sold were multi-purpose cleaners, citrus cleaners, or degreasers. Often too harsh and acidic to be used on gym floor coatings. Most floors were becoming slippery before basketball season actually began. This was the perfect opportunity to create a line of microfiber mops and cleaners developed exclusively for gym floor cleaning.
Erik created Courtcleanze, a concentrated cleaning formula that is mixed with water. It's non-ecotoxic, biodegradable, and safe to be used in schools. It removes the oils, perspiration, and ground in dirt that dry tacking leaves behind. It can be used in an auto-scrubber, it can wet mopped, or it can be used with a microfiber pad under a flat mop. Using Courtcleanze will increase the life of your gym floor and help maintain traction. Most NBA and NCAA teams clean their floors with Courtcleanze prior to tip-off for a traction-tight and safe surface.
Courtcleanze alone won't fix your slippery floor problems - so Erik created a line of mops called The Promop. The Promop comes in many sizes but most commonly the 48 inch Promop is used to clean gymnasium floors. Each Promop comes with a microcleanze cleaning pad that is used for damp cleaning with a solution of Courtcleanze, and a microcleanze fringe pad that is used for dry dusting. Both microfiber pads attach by two strips of Velcro so they can be removed/attached quickly and they can be re-used and washed up to 300 times. And each Promop can be customized with your team logo and colors!
Hyper-Dri mops were developed shortly thereafter for player safety during basketball/volleyball games. Hyper-Dri mops have larger bases and come in six different shapes and sizes that can be customized with your team logo and colors. Underneath each Hyper-Dri mop is a large microcleanze pad. Typically used by teams when a player falls and creates a wet spot on the floor. Today 25 of 30 NBA teams use our mops!
Over the past 20 years the business has continued to expand and mold to better serve our customers. Our goal is to keep your floor surface looking good all season long. Player safety today is becoming a major concern for athletes and facility managers worldwide. Your cleaning staff should be properly equipped to keep your floor looking good and performing all year long. We'd be more than happy to help you out!

Imagine ending up at an Oklahoma City chiropractor because of your son's poor eating habits! It sure sounds strange, but that is exactly what happened to my husband and I after a few years of trying to deal with our son not eating properly. We're not picky parents about our children and what they eat, not really. We obviously want them to eat well, but it's ok if they steal a snack or two here or there or have fast food once a week. The problem is that our son simply wouldn't eat, and it began to harm his health.
As everyone knows, it is absolutely essential that growing children have as good of a diet as possible. The years in which their bodies grow and their minds develop are crucial for a healthy adulthood. You can see the harm a bad diet can do when you see pictures of North Korean soldiers standing next to people from other countries. Due to not eating properly, they didn't grow into healthy adults. Most of them are almost a foot shorter than people from other countries. We worried this would happen to our son. His refusals to eat meant we needed a plan of action.
We found that plan at a chiropractor's office after hearing that they also do a lot of work with nutrition and vitamin supplementation. Figuring it was worth trying, we took our son in for an appointment. They spent a lot of time talking to him about what he liked to eat and why he wasn't eating. They hit a home run with him by doing something I didn't think about, namely having him drink smoothies. That sounds weird but you can pack a lot of nutrients into a smoothie including fruit and vegetables. All I can say is that it worked and he's doing much better.
