Expert Lawn Care Advice: Let it Go Natural
Many Americans' lawn care routines focus on creating manicured monoculture lawns. They follow rules written into community bylaws that say lawns must be kept mowed to a certain height, be free of weeds and in perfect order at all times. Letting our lawns go natural helps the pollinators so much more.
Lawn Care for the Pollinators
A friend once told me she had a purple-flowering plant that was invading her lawn. Her photo showed lush spring grass and drifts of wood hyacinth. I could almost hear the birds chirping and the bees buzzing.
"That's beautiful," I said. "Really?" she asked, relieved. "I was hoping you would say that. Is it okay if I just let it grow?"
I suddenly realized she wanted my professional permission to let her own lawn naturalize! Although she lives at the end of a dirt road in rural Vermont, free of rules from any homeowners association, she was afraid of breaking the "lawn rules."
"Yes," I confirmed, "let it grow!"
7 Plants That Attract Beneficial "Bugs" to Your Garden
• Violets (Viola spp.), pearly everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea), pussytoes (Antennaria plantaginifolia) and red clover (Trifolium pratense) attract butterflies
• Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans) attracts ladybugs
• Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium) draws in hoverflies
• Thyme (Thymus spp.) attracts parasitic wasps
Pollinators, predatory bugs and parasitoids are all beneficial insects that can be attracted to your yard with the right plants. Pollinators are necessary for the reproduction process of many plants. Predators and parasitoids help get rid of damaging insects. And many insects become food for toads, spiders and birds. Keeping our lawns more natural attracts wildlife.

With the premiere of the final season just a few short months away (April 14th just CANNOT get here soon enough!), fans around the world are preparing for the end of 'Game of Thrones,' desperately re-watching the old seasons for clues to the end while waiting for any news from HBO or rumors from the cast and crew. And it is not just the fans preparing for the end, those who have worked on the show all these years are also winding down now that production is finally over, and the series is going through post-production, none more so than the men responsible for holding it together all of these years. While speaking to the Hollywood Reporter recently, series show-runners David Benioff and Dan Weiss spoke about life now that the final season is finally about to premiere:
"We always knew this had to be a story that ended when it was time for it to end, and not one that got dragged out until it had worn out its welcome. We knew this moment was coming, but it's still impossible to prepare yourself fully for it. We're dealing with it piecemeal as we finish up the season. We're also in a tremendous amount of denial. Six months from now, you'll probably find us both wandering down Sunset Boulevard in our Game of Thrones crew jackets, wearing headphones, muttering notes to an assistant director who isn't there."
Luckily for the rest of us, HBO has just released a slew of new images from the final season, giving us brief insights into the status of a number of fan favorites going into the final season. Most of the characters look to be in Winterfell itself, which makes sense as the 7th season ended with the White Walkers breaking through the wall and heading into the North of Westeros, and Winterfell being the most likely place to make a stand. Pictured below we see Davos, Varys, Arya, Sansa, Bran, Samwell Tarley, Jon, Brienne, Daenerys, Tyrion, and Jamie Lannister, the latter of whom have not been in Winterfell since the pilot episode of the series. Won't it be interesting for Jamie and Bran to meet up again, considering the fact that Jamie is the one who crippled him 7 seasons ago? Of course, Cersesi still looks to be in King's Landing, and I'm doubtful we will ever see her leave the capital, though I could be mistaken.

ASAIO Journal: September 2010 - Volume 56 - Issue 5 - p 475-478 doi: 10.1097/MAT.0b013e3181e6bf13 Free Metrics Abstract Hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (AoCLF) is associated with a high mortality rate. Plasma exchange (PE) is useful to bridge patients with AoCLF to liver transplantation or recovery. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score on 30-day survival in patients with AoCLF treated with PE or conventional medications and to evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of PE. In this study, 62 enrolled patients with AoCLF who received PE treatment were compared with 131 patients treated with conventional medications. The MELD scores were calculated according to the original formula, and the 30-day survival in patients was recorded. The 30-day survival rate of the patients who received PE versus controls was 41.9% versus 25.2% (p < 0.05). The 30-day survival rate of patients in the PE group (50.0%) with a MELD score from 20 to 30 was higher than that of the control group (31.7%, p < 0.05); for MELD scores more than 30, there was no significant difference in two groups (8.3% vs. 0%, p > 0.05). PE seems to be efficacious and safe for the treatment of patients with AoCLF and significantly increased the survival rates of patients with a MELD score of 20–30. Despite the best available intensive medical support, liver failure still carries a substantial mortality.1 In China, hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (AoCLF) is the most familiar type of liver failure; it occurs because of sudden and severe impairment or loss of hepatocyte functions in patients with chronic liver diseases. Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the ultimate procedure to save patients suffering from AoCLF.2 However, numerous patients on liver transplantation waiting lists die because of the persistent scarcity of donor livers. In such a situation, extracorporeal liver support may improve survival by bridging patients to OLT or to regeneration of their own diseased livers.3 Plasma exchange (PE) separates and discards the plasma to remove the toxic substances (especially those binding with proteins) and compensates with an identical volume of normal fresh frozen plasma to supplement essential substances such as coagulation factors, albumin, and immunoglobin, so as to ameliorate the microenvironment of the liver and accelerate liver regeneration and functional recovery.4 However, some patients remain at a high risk of death even with PE therapy. Such patients are identified based on the obvious clinical deterioration and are the ideal candidates for emergency OLT because their livers have virtually no chance of self-regeneration. Accurate prediction for prognosis of patients with AoCLF is important to select appropriate procedures, such as internal combined therapy and liver transplantation, so as to relieve the economic and social burden. The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score is based on the results of three readily available, objective, and reproducible laboratory tests: the total serum bilirubin concentration, the international normalized ratio (INR) for the prothrombin time, and the serum creatinine concentration.5 In the United States, the MELD score has been used in determining priorities for organ allocation in liver transplantation since 2002.6 Yu et al.7 reported that the model for MELD score was related to the prognosis of the patients with AoCLF. PE is useful to bridge patients with AoCLF to liver transplantation or to regenerate their own livers.8 In this study, we use the MELD scoring system to predict the 30-day prognosis of patients with AoCLF and to evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of PE. Patients and Methods A total of 193consecutive hospitalized patients with acute-on-chronic HBV liver failure (HBV-DNA ≥1 × 104 copies/ml) were selected from the Department of Infectious Diseases, The First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University, China, between January 2006 and December 2008. Of these, 62 patients with AoCLF who received PE therapy for 1–8 sessions were compared with 131 patients treated with standard medical therapy (control group). Randomization was not performed in this study. In China, PE therapy is not included in health insurance, so it cannot be offered to some patients for economic reasons. Also, some AoCLF patients in the same unit did not receive it because the plasma or machine was unavailable. The diagnosis of these patients was performed according to the criteria of diagnostic and treatment guidelines for liver failure formulated by the Chinese Medical Association.9 AoCLF is described as acute decompensation of liver function in patients with chronic preexisting liver diseases. AoCLF is defined as a syndrome with severe jaundice (total bilirubin >171 mmol/L), coagulopathy (prolonged prothrombin time, prothrombin activity <40%), or hepatic encephalopathy (above grade II). Drug hepatitis, Wilson disease, alcoholic liver disease, and autoimmune hepatitis are excluded. Patients were excluded if they had hepatitis C or D or HIV infection. The clinical characteristics of patients on admission are presented in Table 1. There was no significant difference between the PE and control groups. The study protocol was approved by the local ethics committee, and written informed consent was obtained from all patients or their next of kin.Table 1: Clinical Background of Patients Treated With PE and ControlsStudy Protocol The 131 patients in the medical group were given standard medical treatment. This included absolute bed rest; energy supplements and vitamins; intravenous drop infusion albumin and plasma; maintenance of water, electrolyte, and acid-base equilibrium; and prevention and treatment of complications. Patients in the PE group underwent treatment in addition to intensive monitoring and standard medications. PE was performed using the membrane separation method marketed as Plasmacure PS-06 (Kuraray Co., Tokyo, Japan). The total volume of exchanged plasma was approximately 3500 ml, at 25–30 ml/min PE rate. A total of 3000–4500 ml of fresh frozen plasma (40–60 ml/kg) and 20–40 g of human albumin were supplied. The flow rate of blood was adjusted to 60–130 ml/min, and blood pressure and pulse were recorded continuously during treatment (Figure 1). PE therapy was carried out two or three times in the first or second week depending on vascular access, and the level of clotting factors was observed before PEs and then one time each week, depending on the clinical results, and then stopped.10 The levels of serum creatinine, the INR for prothombin time, and the level of serum total bilirubin of each AoCLF patient were recorded.Figure 1.: Circuit diagram of plasma exchange.Statistical Analysis All data were analyzed using SPSS version 13.0 for Windows software. Results were expressed as mean ± SD or as number of subjects (percentage). Analysis of survival rates of the different groups was done using the chi-square test; and for all analyses, a p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results In all, 197 single treatments were performed on 62 patients with an average of 3.2 sessions/patient (range, 1–8 sessions/patient) at an interval of 3–5 days, PE therapies were relatively safe and tolerable under comparable conditions without any severe adverse events. 30-Day Survival Rate in Patients With AoCLF In the study subjects, 26 survivors and 36 nonsurvivors were in the PE group, whereas 33 survivors and 98 nonsurvivors were in the control group after 30 days treatment. Their survival rates were 41.9% and 25.2% for PE and medical therapy, respectively (p < 0.05). Relationship Between MELD Scores and 30-Day Survival Rate The MELD score was calculated according to the following formula11: MELD = (0.957 × Loge [creatinine in milligram per deciliter] + 0.378 × Loge [bilirubin in milligram per deciliter] + 1.12 × Loge [INR] + 0.643) × 10). The MELD scores of all the patients at admission (day 0) were more than 20. Patients were divided into two groups according to MELD scores: 20–30 and more than 30. The 30-day survival rate of patients with a MELD score from 20 to 30 was 50.0% (25/50) in the PE group and 31.7% (33/104) in the control group, showing significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05). The 30-day survival rate of patients with a MELD scores higher than 30 were 8.3% (1/12) in the PE and 0 (0/27) in the control group, and there was no significant difference in two groups (p > 0.05; (Figure 2).Figure 2.: Acute-on-chronic liver failure patient survival by model for end-stage liver disease score (%) at 30 days.Discussion HBV-associated AoCLF is the leading cause of liver failure worldwide and is the most common reason for liver transplantation in China. It has been reported that PE improves metabolic state in patients with hepatic failure until a donor organ is available or the diseased liver regenerates.12 Although PE cannot replace the entire spectrum of hepatic function, such techniques can substitute a few elementary liver functions and were reported to reduce mortality in cases of AoCLF when compared with standard medical therapy.13 The MELD scoring system was previously formulated to predict 3-month mortality in cirrhotic patients undergoing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt.14 Recent studies have demonstrated that the MELD score accurately predicted the mortality risk for a variety of different causative factors of liver disease.15 The short-term survival rates of patients with end-stage liver disease decrease gradually as the MELD score increases. This MELD scoring system was not only objective but also consistent with the characteristics of AoCLF (e.g., hyperbilirubinemia, coagulopathy, and renal function failure), so it may be used to predict the prognosis of AoCLF patients. We studied the 30-day prognosis of patients with AoCLF after PE treatment using the MELD scoring system. The 30-day survival rate of the patients with a MELD score of 20–30 given standard medical treatment was 31.7%, whereas for those given PE was 50.0%, suggesting that PE significantly increased the short-term survival rate of these patients, so artificial liver support system treatment should be started as early as possible as a regular form of therapy. The 30-day survival rate of patients with a MELD score more than 30 given standard medical treatment was 0%, whereas for those given PE was 8.3%, suggesting that PE did not significantly increase the short-term survival rate in these patients. Liver transplantation may be the only effective therapeutic modality to save these patients' lives. Conclusion In this study, we confirmed that the MELD scoring system is a reliable method for predicting the short-term survival in patients with AoCLF. PE treatment significantly increases the survival rates of patients with a MELD score from 20 to 30 compared with controls but have no effect on patients with a MELD score higher than 30. AoCLF patients with a MELD score from 20 to 30 were selected to receive PE therapy to gain the best therapeutic effects. We are aware that a randomized control study is needed to obtain a firm conclusion in this study. However, it is extremely difficult to perform a randomized study on the critically ill patients with acute liver failure who actually have very little chance to receive a liver transplantation in our country. Because of our small sample size, another causal factor may exist, and a larger study will be needed to validate the efficacy of the MELD score.

Roxanne Pallett is considering getting a "normal job" to pay the bills as her TV work has reportedly dried up after the Celebrity Big Brother punch gate scandal.
The former Emmerdale star, 36, outraged viewers when she falsely accused fellow housemate Ryan Thomas of punching her back in August.
She subsequently issued a public apology and went into hiding.
OK! magazine now reports Roxanne won't be making a comeback any time soon and is even considering getting a "normal" job to make ends meet.
A source told the publication: "Rox knows a TV comeback is not going to happen anytime soon, if ever.
"But eventually she's going to need to work again and is now thinking about where that next cheque will come from.
"She would like to just get a normal job but she's still too recognisable for that at the moment so she's having to be a bit more careful with her spending."
Roxanne's last telly job was in Celebrity Coach Trip, which was filmed last year before the CBB incident with Ryan.
She shocked viewers of the Channel 5 reality show when she claimed the actor had "punched her like a boxer" and "intentionally" tried to hurt her during the August incident.
Labelling Ryan a "woman beater", she requested to sleep in a separate room from Ryan, claiming she didn't feel "safe" and asked why Big Brother hadn't removed the actor from the house.
After quitting the show, she publicly admitted her allegations were "massively wrong" and stepped out of the spotlight - even deleting her social media.
Ryan denied the allegations in the house and went on to be crowned Celebrity Big Brother champion.

According to the latest research, there are a large number of people stressed at work. Being stressed at work can have serious consequences for your health and personal relationships. People suffering with work stress are more likely to suffer minor illnesses such as colds and flu. However, it can also increase the likelihood of more serious diseases such as heart disease. Finding a job which is less stressful is not always an option. There are several reasons why a person could be feeling stressed. They include:
• Heavy workload
• Poor salary
• Little chance of promotion
• Work isn't challenging enough
• No control over work-related decisions
• Very little social support
• Management expectations which are unclear
The effects of stress in the workplace are far-reaching. This is because the stress you're feeling during your working day will follow you and continue when you get home.
How Work Stress Can Affect You
There are both short term and long terms issues connected to work-related stress. In the short term you may suffer from headaches, stomach problems, disturbed sleep, change in temperament and lack of concentration. If the stress is allowed to continue, it could result in high blood pressure, insomnia, anxiety and a weakened immune system. Depression, obesity and heart disease are also more common. In order to deal with stress, people often resort to unhealthy habits such as smoking, drinking too much, taking drugs, overeating or eating unhealthy foods. These bad habits only make the problem worse.
Work Stress Can be Managed
Stress in the workplace can affect anyone at any time. Even people with the best paying hospital jobs, which you think would be a rewarding vocation, can suffer extreme levels of stress. The good news is that there are certain strategies you can adopt to reduce your stress levels.
Keep a Journal
If you think you've got a problem with stress, keep a journal for a couple of weeks. Doing so will help you to identify the areas of your job that are making you stressed and highlight the ways in which you are reacting to them. Include details of your thoughts, how you were feeling and what was happening. Make a note of the people who were around at the time, how they reacted to the situation and the circumstances you found yourself in. For example, did you storm off, slamming the doors behind you? Perhaps you immediately headed for the vending machine for a sugary snack. Did you shout at those around you or choose to go for a walk? Only by taking notes can you identify patterns and seek to change them.
Make Healthy Choices
Once you've identified the situations which are causing you the most stress and how you have been choosing to respond to them, you can do your best to change the responses. When you feel the stress levels rising, take time out and go for a walk or enjoy a spot of exercise. Exercise has been shown to be a great stress reliever. Yoga is one particular form of exercise you can practice in the workplace. As long as an activity is physical, it will be of benefit to you. Other ways to relieve stress are to take up a new hobby. It's important that you make the time to do things that give you pleasure. It could be something as simple as reading a book or spending time with family or friends. A good night's sleep is also important in reducing stress. Cut out the caffeine-rich drinks late at night and limit stimulating activities such as watching TV and using the computer.
You Don't Need to be Available 24/7
Today's digital world puts us under pressure to be on call 24 hours a day. Don't be afraid to switch your mobile off after a certain time in the evening. Make it a rule not to answer emails in the evening or answer your phone when you're sat enjoying dinner with the family. It's important for your health and wellbeing to have a good balance between work and home life. If you happen to work from home, this is all the more important.
Recharge Your Batteries
The negative effects of stress can be avoided if you take time out on a regular basis. It's vital you switch off from work and think about other things. You will have to find a way that fits your own personal needs, but it is possible. Everyone is entitled to time off and holiday time, so make sure you take every opportunity to relax and unwind. By doing so, you'll be able to return to work feeling invigorated and ready to perform to the best of your ability.
Learn Relaxation Techniques
We seem to have lost the ability to relax and enjoy doing nothing at all. Don't worry, however, because it is possible to learn techniques that will help you relax. Deep breathing exercises and meditation are techniques that can be used to melt away the stress. Start off in a small way by practicing for a few minutes every day. You'll get better at them and be able to apply them in other aspects of your life.
Don't be Afraid to Ask for Support
You might think you're on your own, but there are many people who will be happy to offer you some support. Trusted friends and family members will be able to help you manage stress. Ask your employer as well, because there may be an employee assistance program you can participate in. There is also a wealth of information available online.
Stress in the workplace is a common complaint. Even though we are surrounded by labor-saving devices and technology, the number of people suffering only seems to be increasing. The tips that have been shared above will help you to manage your stress. If you find you are still suffering, visit your local GP, and you may be referred to a psychologist. Such a professional will be able to help you manage your stress better and change your unhealthy ways.

The president Michelle Bachelet participated yesterday from a special activity with the neighbors of Cerro Castillo's Village at Río Ibañez, Aysén.
In this opportunity the president shared a speech focussed on the project of the new Constitution of our country, and invited the people to join this process and "to dream of the country we would want in the next 40 or 50 years".
"The participation of the Constitution is about that all of us should be capable to express our opinions, our dreams and wishes (…) Don't you worry, the government will not be dedicated to the constitution, we will do our part but the truth is that we will continue to govern, because we have urgent matters to take care of" said Bachelet.

Dutch Parliament ignores growing European support for a transaction tax
Dutch Parliament ignores growing European support for a transaction tax
A majority in the Dutch national Parliament's main legislative chamber have voted to reject a motion supporting the introduction of a tax on financial transactions. SP leader Emile Roemer's proposed earlier in the year that the Netherlands join those European countries pushing for such a tax. 'This tax – also known as the Tobin Tax – would make the financial system more secure, because rapid cross-border transactions would be made less profitable,' explains SP Member of Parliament Arnold Merkies. 'Eleven European countries have already expressed their support, but the right-wing majority in Parliament prefers to bury its head in the sand.'
Roemer's proposal earlier in the year was also endorsed by the Labour Party and Green Left, but beyond the three parties of left and centre-left it won support only from the (generally progressive) Animals' Party and the centrist group D66. The SP certainly does not stand alone in its advocacy of this tax. In Europe a "leading group" of eleven countries has been formed, which includes France and Germany, and which intends to introduce it. 'That's considerably more than our finance minister would have us believe,' says Merkies. 'It's a hopeful sign that most of the countries which surround us are coming out with constructive proposals. A financial transaction tax is an outstanding way at one and the same time to make the financial system more secure and to get the banks and speculators who were in large part responsible for the crisis to make an additional contribution to resolving it. The chance of another crisis would also be reduced.'
Merkies is pleased that the Labour Party is continuing to support the proposal, which they stated in June was a condition of their support for the Dutch position at the EU summit. 'Now that the right-wing parties have turned against this tax, it's up to Labour to bring it into the coalition negotiations.'


text: Provenance prov·e·nance/ˈprävənəns/• the beginning of something's existence; something's origin.• a record of ownership of a work of art or an antique, used as a guide to authenticity or quality.- Definitions from Oxford LanguagesThe concept of provenance is by no means new or novel, but is relevant to addressing misinformation in digital communication channels. Historically, museums record details of provenance for their collections. These details serve various purposes, including settling disputes about authenticity and ownership.The provenance may be debated (with stolen art) or cause for alarm (when related to antiquities). Provenance is more objective and factual than other aspects of production and lends authority to an institution. But, in owning this provenance, power is concentrated by institutions rather than distributed to the public or creators of the work.Seattle, 2022.The need for authenticity in digital communication is being addressed via technological interventions (CAI, C2PA), where verifying the ownership or authorship and production processes can prevent and resolve disputes and misunderstanding, as well. However, much as the museums concentrate power through provenance records, the technological interventions could be counter to some democratic goals.Improved methodologies and transparency about gathering information could add more validity, accountability, and trust to communication channels. It would empower individuals to create knowledge and ultimately improve democratic processes. Democratic processes would be improved by additional authoritative perspectives on news and themes. The technological interventions aren't necessarily mutually exclusive to improved methodologies, but they overshadow deeper needs and solutions.An article called "A Historical Sociology of the Authentication of News" about the history and context for disinformation was brought to my attention via a C2PA announcement. I'm not a contributor to C2PA but I appreciate the inclusiveness and transparency of the group and the CAI. The article discusses the role of first person messengers.Beyond the technological interventions for the production and dissemination of news, the information gathering process is equally significant as a foundation of "authenticity". The process, whether using digital or analog tools, depends on the diligence and skill of individuals gathering aspects of the story.The methods, which are often qualitative, can be assisted by technology but not replaced by it. Thorough reporting over the course of weeks or years that communicates about culture and history, that frames the storytelling within a perspective, and which is presented in cohesive, deep narratives, is foundational to the technological interventions being developed around provenance.Fall 2021

"There is only now" is the rule I live by! I have a great appetite for life and I fear routine far more than I fear any adventure.
My name is Henriette. I was born in 1970 on the west coast of Denmark. I have traveled to 45 countries and ridden my motorcycle in 37 of them, more than 100.000 km.
From a young age I knew 2 things for certain: I wanted to see the world and I didn't want any kids.
My parents were quite modern as they would take me and my 2 sisters on multiple trips throughout Europe, always in a camper van or a mini bus.
My own travelling began with a summer trip to the UK as I was 14 year old. Later as I finished high school, I traveled around Australia for almost a year. Through my early twenties I traveled all over Europe and worked in Switzerland twice.
As I did my Master in Business Degree I saw the opportunity to travel to Canada through an exchange program and spend 6 months in Vancouver studying at the University of British Columbia.
Later I moved to Stockholm in Sweden and lived there for 3½ years.
I have always been dreaming of and planning my next trip. Usually I spend my entire budget on traveling and often travel several times a month – always up for a weekend in Paris, a skiing trip to the Alps, a summer in Italy or a few days of roller skating along the beach in Barcelona.
For 9 years I was deeply involved in a roller derby in Denmark and with my team I would travel to cities around Europe to skate against opposing teams. We even traveled to Japan for a tournament and we participated at the 2nd Roller Derby World Championships in Texas.
On top of that my professional career has involved quite a bit of traveling.
Obviously I have also ridden my motorcycle quite a few kilometers through Europe, always drawn to the mountains passes in the alps and the Pyrenees. In 2010 I participated in a Horizons Unlimited Mountain Madness off-road Rally in the Pyrenees. Later I have had the pleasure of riding with Massimo from Enduro Tours Barcelona, trying to improve my off-road riding skills. In 2019 I also I did a beautiful motorcycle trip around the Baltic sea through Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.
My longest ride was in 2011-2012 when my friend Lars and I flew to Alaska, bought two bikes and rode them all the way to Argentina.
40.000 kilometers through 15 countries: USA, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Equador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina.

Passaic splash park fixed before heat wave. In the meantime, firefighters saved the day
PASSAIC — When Third Ward Park's splash pad wasn't working and children couldn't use it to cool off as the temperatures started to rise, the City's firefighters came to the rescue with a rigged up hose.
The hose did the trick until the city repaired the splash park last week, just in time for the summer's first heat wave. Temperatures are expected to reach 100 on Saturday.
The splash pad was broken during the demolition of a nearby concession stand, said Mayor Hector Lora. The electrical panel that operates the splash pad was disconnected.
Work, the mayor said, was completed by early July but when the new panel was connected, there were still electrical and plumbing upgrades needed. A representative from the manufacturing company completed the upgrades late last week. The total cost was $1,450.
Story continues below gallery
Parents who frequent the park said it was fixed just in time as they rely on the splash park to keep their kids cool when they're not in school.
Kathy Zamora, an Ohio transplant who lives a few blocks away in Clifton, said she and her children love Third Ward Park. Her husband does too, he runs through it every day.
"Two days ago, he said 'The water's on! The water's on!'," she said.

Anthony Newell and his son, also named Anthony, live minutes away from the splash pad and love it.
"I try to get here every day," he said. "I try to come early because later it gets crowded."
Melissa McClain said she loves it too, and she's a bit of an expert on splash pads. She drives near and far to try out the various water-spraying parks including ones in Linden, East Orange and the Van Saun Park in Paramus. She said Third Ward is the primary park for her because it's close to home and easy to get her son Seth there.
"It's free and there's water. The kids have so much fun," McClain said.
Lora said Pulaski Park, Colonel Johnson and Shevchenko Park also have splash pads for children. He also noted that when the soon-to-be-renovated Dundee Island Park is constructed, there are plans to include a splash pad.

On paper, the Lincoln MKT looks pretty good. With a $54,000 price tag, a 355-horsepower EcoBoost V-6, all-wheel drive, the ability to fit seven passengers, and all manner of luxury goodies, the MKT ticks all the boxes for the full-size luxury crossover market. So is it another hit from Ford? Yes and no.
Things in the powertrain department start out well enough. A 3.5-liter, biturbocharged EcoBoost V-6 rests under the creased hood of the MKT. Producing 355 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, the EcoBoost V-6 is well suited to this application. Turbo lag is well controlled, with power coming on in a very linear manner. Keep the right foot planted long enough, and the MKT can, and will, reach felonious speeds. Our primary criticism of the EcoBoost unit is the engine note. It sounds engineered and artificial, almost like a video game sound effect. Regardless of engine speed, it sounds harsh. Otherwise, it is an excellent mill.
For as quick, rev-happy, and generally good as the engine is, the same cannot be said for the six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission. Although it executes upshifts at appropriate engine speeds, the gear changes seem slow, labored, and jerky. When it comes time to shift down, the gearbox seems confused as to what cog should be where. When you put your foot down, there is an unpleasant delay from the gearbox, where you can almost feel the transmission cycling through gears, trying to decide which one is appropriate for the situation.
Our model featured a set of paddle shifters, one on each side of the steering wheel. They function simply enough, pull back on either side to upshift and push forward on either side to downshift. Unfortunately, the paddles don't fix the choppy gearbox, and to add insult to injury, they are made from some extremely cheap-feeling plastic.
The steering is on the light side, but it never feels too light. In fact, the lack of communication coming from the wood- and leather-clad wheel is the bigger issue. The driver receives a lot more feedback from the seat than from the wheel. This might not be an issue on a car with a heavier steering rack, but light steering that doesn't communicate well with the driver does very little to inspire confidence.
Being a luxury crossover, we never really expected the MKT to be a great deal of fun in the bends, and we were correct. Aggressive steering inputs result in enough body roll to temper the spirits of most driving enthusiasts. The all-wheel drive system does offer a safety net, and allows the MKT to maintain a very understeery attitude.
In normal day-to-day driving, the ride is comfortable over normal pavement, behaving much like a Lincoln of yesteryear. Smooth, floaty, and supple when travelling down the road, the MKT is no BMW, but that is hardly a bad thing.
The MKT's interior is full of technology designed to make the lives of its occupants that much easier. Heated and air-conditioned front seats, Blind-Spot Information System, Cross-Traffic Alert, Active Park Assist, Sync, and an awesome THX 5.1 surround stereo make sure occupants are both safe and comfortable. As good as all the tech is, the rest of the interior just doesn't feel like $54,000. The wood trim looks and feels fake, the switchgear is identical to what is offered in a $14,000 Focus, and the center console feels hard and plasticky. Compared to Lincolns of old, the interior is designed in a much nicer, more functional, and attractive manner. However, the materials being used just aren't good enough for such a competitive market.
The MKT isn't a bad car. Its loaded full of impressive technology, has an awesome engine under the hood, and has a supremely comfortable ride. But when looked at in the context of the full-size luxury crossover market, despite being cheaper than most, the Lincoln has a tough competitive set to deal with.
Its action was light at low speeds, loaded up in corners, and confidently weighted on the highway, which is the ideal setup in any new car.
Porsche, deservingly if you ask us, has been covered over and over in a series of coffee table books. So, why another one? Can it really add value?
The good news is that there are several great electric cars on the market that are perfect for teens.
For potentially the last fully internal combustion M-level 4 Series, ever, we were hoping for better out of the 2022 BMW M4.
The Bell Racing RS7C LTWT Carbon is a pretty compelling helmet. It offers best in class ventilation and airflow, in addition to being one of the lightest helmets in its category.

Recreating the End-to-end Customer Tire Experience
While Kaltire.com was better than most sites in its category, it still wasn't well integrated with the physical store and required lots of manual workarounds to better connect the "clicks to the bricks" experience.
There was both the opportunity and the desire for Kal Tire to recreate the end-to-end customer tire experience. Such an approach would not just boost ecommerce related conversions and revenue, but also help improve operations and efficiency at the store level.
The Bigger Picture
The site was just part of the bigger re-imagined holistic customer experience where many current user friction points were to be removed. This involved many external partners and cross functional teams within Kal Tire. iamota handled all front end design and UX/UI deliverables.
The core experience areas we focused on were:
- Providing tire recommendations.
- Ability to make appointments at any Kal Tire store.
- Integrating education via tool tips.
- Ability to compare tires, get tire testing details and read reviews and ratings.
- Integration of the ecommerce site with WordPress to be used for select content areas.
The tool is an interactive and engaging experience that asks them some simple questions about their driving needs and preferences and then provides tire options and tailored recommendations, saving them time and making the tire selection process more approachable.
The Intelligent Tire Selector
To help users who don't know much about tires to find the right tire for their needs, the new website features an innovative, smart tire selector engine.
Purchase And Book Online
We worked closely with the Kal Tire team to map the user journey and the entire purchase flow to create a brand new ecommerce experience.
The revamped Product Listing and Detail Pages are now more visual and house all of the useful product information that users should know, including Kal Tire's tire testing results to help customers make the most informed purchase possible and replicate the Kal Tire in-store experience.
WordPress Integration
While much of the site went to the new ecommerce platform, their vast database of helpful articles and blog posts stayed on WordPress to ensure that the Kal Tire team could continue to easily add fresh, valuable content every week.

Hazard Prevails at Charlotte
May 25th, 2011 by DavidP
Thomas Hazard held-off Brian Schoenburg throughout a late, long green flag run to score his second career victory during Tuesday's NASCAR iRacing Series World Championship race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Hazard took the lead at the three-quarter mark of the race and, while the Schoenburg kept him honest, drove to a convincing win to bolster his lead in the series points race.
It was an online race full of twists and turns, one that began with defending series champion Richard Towler winning the pole for the second consecutive race. Towler would have to take the green from pit road, however, after he was delayed by technical issues immediately prior to the start.
The chief beneficiary of Towler's issues would be John Gorlinsky, who led the opening laps of the race in his Wrangler Impala. Jesse Atchison and Towler then moved to the front when they were the only two sim racers to stay on track during a Lap 10 caution. Although Gorlinsky quickly reasserted himself at the green as Atchison pulled to the apron in Turn One, Towler hung tough on older tires and slipped back only as far as 12th position throughout the subsequent 20 lap green run.
Josh Parker's Suave for Men Chevy showed some early strength and passed Gorlinsky for the lead on Lap 19. Although the crew of Darlington winner Brad Wright got him the lead during the next yellow flag pit stop sequence, Parker regained the top spot on Lap 46 during another round of stops and went on to dominate the action for the best part of the next 100 laps with Ray Alfalla, Parker, Derek Wood and Wright leading the chase.
The complexion of the race completely changed on Lap 142 when Parker got caught speeding on his entry to pit road during a scheduled green flag pit stop. Further complicating matters, Alfalla and Pedro Mojica got together a lap later between Turns One and Two. The resulting yellow trapped Parker and many of the other front runners either on the tail end of the lead lap, or a full lap down, and vaulted Hazard – on pit road when the caution lights appeared – into the lead. Brad Davies was second, despite having made contact with the wall on a few occasions, with Schoenburg third from Greg Spears and Atchison.
What would be the final restart on Lap 150 saw Hazard show a clean pair of heels to the field to come home 1.5s clear of Schoenburg to take his second career NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship victory and bolster, albeit marginally, his series-leading points total.
"As the laps went on I kept hoping to stay green, and to my surprise we did." — Thomas Hazard
"As the laps went on I kept hoping to stay green, and to my surprise we did," said Hazard. "Everyone did a great job to make that happen and I am extremely surprised to have won as I had a fourth place car at best. Thanks to Main Performance PC and Obutto Gaming Cockpit for supporting us and also a big thanks to Josh Berry and Daniel Pope II for the work on the setup."
Speaking of careers, it was a career day for Schoenburg and the InsideSimRacing.tv Impala as his runner-up finish was not only his best result yet in the series, it moved him into sixth place overall in the NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship standings.
Alfalla rebounded from his various adventures to salvage a third place finish, rallying from the 11th position on the final restart to minimize his points loss to Hazard by the recovery and now sits nine points back of the series leader.
Speaking of adventures, after gaining track position early in the race, Towler slipped down the order and faced a task similar to that of Alfalla in the closing stages of the race. Like Alfalla, he also delivered a late-race surge to come from ninth on the final restart to a season-best fourth place finish. Patrick Fogel was another to score a season best at Charlotte, bringing the TCSCustomDiecast.com Chevy home fifth ahead of Atchison. Some other noteworthy performances included Spears (P8), Matthew Moose (P10), Justin Lowery (P11) and Jean Costa (P12).
On the other hand, Parker and Wright were left to wonder what could have been… as they saw secure top five finishes morph into 15th and 16th place after they were trapped a lap down when the Lap 143 caution derailed their green flag pit stops.
"It feels good to be disappointed about a 16th," said a philosophical Wright. "I felt like I was a top five car there and I backed it up by running in the top five the majority of the race, just no ending result to prove it . . . all you can do is move on and focus on next week. Congrats to Thomas (Hazard) on the win."
This race had it all: green flag pit stops, interesting strategy, and many drivers scoring much- needed good finishes. The caution flag in this event flew just six times, and the series carries positive momentum into the rest of the season.
Next on the calendar is the Pocono Raceway on June 8th. This will be the first time the series heads to the Pennsylvania track. Look for drivers who ran well at Indianapolis last year to have a really strong package at 'The Tricky Triangle!'
Editor's note: Jason Lofing, iRN's usual NiSWC correspondent, could not cover the Charlotte race. (He has a good excuse — he was on a plane to Charlotte when the race was run.) Thanks to Brian Schoenburg for pinch-hitting — good job on the story, not to mention on the race track!

25 Apr 5 Tips for Every Small Business Owner
Small business owners come from all walks of life. And while most are certainly experts in the services and products they sell, they may lack the finance and marketing backgrounds necessary to grow in today's ultra-competitive world. That shouldn't stop anyone from opening a business. That is where Inikosoft comes into play because we have a trove of resources online and experienced employees that can help any business operate efficiently, target their customers and appear professional. Using a combination of their own know-how and local professional services from Inikosoft, small business owners must focus on the following five crucial areas of their businesses to increase the likelihood of success:
No. 1: Create a powerful brand image with consistency.
Your brand image is what both current and prospective customers think about your company. This image is developed through repeated interactions with customers, so it's essential that you send them consistent messages. At Inikosoft, we will make sure your business has the same look and feel in all forms of marketing, including direct mail, online, email, and more. For a brand image to accurately stick in the customers' minds, it must be true to its product and services and the company must live up to all its promises.
No. 2: Identify objectives for your website.
Before you invest money to create a flashy website, determine your No. 1 goal. Ask yourself, "Am I creating a website so I can mainly inform or educate visitors? Do I want to sell products? Is my goal to generate leads?" The main objective will help Inikosoft dictate the design and overall layout.
No. 3: Optimize your web presence.
Without search engine optimization from Inikosoft, your business is a needle in a global haystack. There are a few best practices you should consider that are within everyone's means: Creating and maintaining various social media channels as they influence search rankings; including keyword phrases on your websites; developing a content-rich website through blogs and white papers. For a more in-depth approach, small business owners can easily find articles online on basic SEO. Depending on your business, it may even be worthwhile to enlist the services of an SEO expert.
No. 4: Learn and practice basic accounting.
A lot of small businesses fail because of mismanagement and under-capitalization. To avoid these pitfalls, owners should understand basic accounting – or hire someone who can provide local accounting support. If you're determined to go at it alone, an online service like Quick Books is a useful way to practice standard accounting procedures and will help you take the reins of your company's finances.
No. 5: Take a disciplined approach to customer acquisition.
If you're not acquiring new customers – even if your business is booming – your competitor probably is. To remain competitive, budget how much you will spend to acquire customers on an ongoing basis. This means creating, implementing and sticking to a plan. Remember, sales, marketing and promotions aren't optional in business; they are basic business requirements and must be treated as such. Inikosoft will set-up many different ways to help you achieve new customer acquisition!
Inikosoft is a Los Gatos Website and Design firm that supports small business owners, with a very unique atmosphere teeming with modern creativity and youthful energy.

Phoenix considers civilian board to review police use-of-force
As part of an ongoing effort to address residents' complaints that Phoenix police officers use excessive force too often, the City Council is considering adopting a citizens review board.
On Tuesday, the council met to continue a months-long discussion on whether the fifth-largest city in the country should have an all-civilian board to oversee police use-of-force cases and make discipline recommendations.
Police departments in major cities across the county have implemented such boards.
The City Council discussion came after a record number of shootings by Phoenix police in 2018.
"We're at a point where we really need this," Councilman Carlos Garcia said during the discussion. "Last year, we had the most deadly police department in the country."
The discussion was also partly prompted by a May 27 bystander cellphone video of police that went viral. The footage depicts Phoenix officers pointing guns and yelling threats at Dravon Ames, his pregnant fiancee, Iesha Harper, and their two young daughters after the couple said their 4-year-old daughter took a doll from a Family Dollar store.
The council didn't vote or made any final decision on the type of board Phoenix should have. The next public meeting on the topic is scheduled for Oct. 15.
Almost every council member has been receptive to adopting some type of board, except for Councilman Sal DiCiccio.
"The bottom line here is: I do not see a problem here," said DiCiccio, who participated in the discussion via phone. "We're heading down a path that is going to corrupt the system."
Three types of models
In Phoenix, the council is weighing three different types of boards.
- Review focused: This board would agree or disagree on an administrative decision the Police Department makes on a use-of-force case. If it disagrees, the board can make a recommendation on how the incident could be avoided.
- Auditor/monitor: This board could review Police Department data for use-of-force trends and publicly report whether complaints of excessive force are on the rise. The board could recommend corrective actions to the police chief, city manager or council.
- Investigations: This board could conduct investigations into a case or predetermined area. Some cities have given their boards subpoena power but the council would determine if this is a tool it would give the board. The board could be used to get testimony, collect evidence, and gather records to aid a Police Department investigation.
Liana Perez, director of operations for the National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement, detailed the three types of models for the council in a presentation.
The cost and the effectiveness of the board would depend on how many people would be on it and the type of authority it would have.
She told the council that as they consider the three different models, they should consider the community demands and the end goal. She said any model they pick will only be as effective as the resources put into it.
Police union oppose a new board
While community members have called for a civilian review board for years, the Phoenix police union that represents rank-and-file officers has successfully fought it.
"A civilian oversight board over police remains a bad idea for the reasons we have stated for years, including the complexity of use-of-force incidents and the gray areas of law that govern them," Phoenix Law Enforcement Association President Michael "Britt" London wrote in a recent azcentral.com opinion column.
Not an anti-police effort
Currently, the Police Department has an internal six-member use-of-force board made up of police officers and civilians who make recommendations such as discipline or better training after reviewing a case. In the past, the board has found an officer's use of force violated the department's policies.
But some community members have said they want a board that has more teeth to impose punishment on an officer and is independent of the Police Department.
Councilwoman Laura Pastor said during the discussion that she and her colleagues were elected to take on various issues, including improving police practices.
She said the efforts aren't meant to hurt the Phoenix Police Department but to improve its relationship with the public.
"Just because we're having this discussion right now to make any improvement … doesn't mean we're anti-police or anti-Chief (Jeri) Williams," Pastor said.
