One year ago, Schumer incited a mob on the steps of the Supreme Court in order to bully justices to rule in Democrats' favor.
When Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., spoke against the constitutionality of the Democrats' impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, he reminded his colleagues that Democrat elected officials had recently told their followers to attack Republicans. If Trump was to be impeached for asking followers to "peacefully and patriotically" make their voices heard by members of Congress on Jan. 6, what to do with Democrats' more incendiary rhetoric and actions, he wondered.
Sen. Kamala Harris solicited funds to bail out the rioters who destroyed Minneapolis during 2020's "Summer of Rage." Rep. Maxine Waters called on Democrats to seek out Republicans in public places and "create a crowd" and "push back" on them to let them know "they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."
The Bernie Sanders supporter who nearly killed House Republican Whip Steve Scalise at a baseball field in Virginia said he was motivated to kill for "health care" after Sanders and other Democrats had said the Republican health care plan was to kill many Americans. Sen. Cory Booker told his supporters at one gathering in D.C. to "Please don't just come here today and then go home. Go to the Hill today. Get up and, please, get up in the face of some congresspeople."
One example Paul left out of his excellent speech is even more relevant to next week's impeachment. Less than one year ago, Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York led a mob on the steps of the Supreme Court while a case was being heard and tried to thwart the natural deliberation of justices by violently threatening two of them to rule in favor of his and other Democrats' preferred outcome.
"I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions," Schumer threatened the two most recently confirmed justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. --->READ MORE HERE
Conservative radio host Mark Levin says Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer should be on trial for comments he made about the Supreme Court last year.
"He's the one that should be on trial and all the other reprobates that have for decades been threatening the American people and making outrageous comments to try to stir up and create fringies among their own base," Levin said about Schumer on Fox News Wednesday night.
"He threatened two U.S. Supreme Court justices," he continued, referencing Schumer's comment last March telling Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch that they will "pay" if they don't rule his way on abortion.
"I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price," Schumer said at an abortion rights rally. "You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions." --->READ MORE HERE

" Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
— Proverbs 3:5 (King James Version)"
When I was eight years old I started going to ballet auditions, first for the dance company at my studio and then for three- to six-week summer programs around the US. Every year we would pick up the January issue of Dance Magazine and sift through the ads for the various dance schools and pick which ones I'd audition for that year.
There were certain schools I'd tack onto the list that were the dance equivalent of the college "reach school" — the one you were pretty sure wouldn't accept you but you sent an application to anyway. I would go to these auditions knowing that they wouldn't take me, just to take an incredible master class. I was free to dance my heart out because it didn't matter what the judges wrote on their score sheet — all that mattered was that I was doing something I loved.
That outlook saved me from a lot of heartache when I was a kid, and as I got older it became my safety zone. The expectation of defeat was a place I could hide in when I was sure that if I didn't do well enough I would be disappointed in myself. And it has poured into other areas of my life.
Exams, job interviews, credit applications, even new relationships. I expect defeat, so there is only room to go up from there. All I can be is surprised and delighted, or get exactly what I expected, which hurts less than the disappointment of rejection.
I've told my good friend Jenn about this spirit of defeat I've had for so many years and she thinks it's awesome. It seems so freeing, being able to go into rough situations without the fear of disappointment. I can be myself — laugh, stick chopsticks up my nose, trip and fall, dance my heart out — without the pressure of wondering what someone else thinks of me in that moment.
But it's such a lie. I'm finding out that my ingenious plan to stave off feelings of rejection is really just a refusal to trust God. I keep armed guards like the Spirit of Defeat around my heart, when God is the only One whom I should trust enough to guard my heart.
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
I am firing the guards I've employed for so long, before I become hardened not only to the possibility of letting someone in, but to letting God in.

Is copper preventing nosocomial infections?
The properties of copper in helping prevent nosocomial infections were debated this October at the Infection Prevention 2013 conference, when Professor Tom Elliott, Consultant Microbiologist at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, addressed the question: 'Can the use of copper help prevent infection?'
From his own pioneering clinical trial and a recently-reported multi-centre trial in the USA, the conclusion is that copper and copper alloy touch surfaces (collectively termed 'antimicrobial copper') may indeed have a role in providing patients with a safer, more hygienic environment.
The antimicrobial activity of copper has long been recognised – in people in Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome used copper in various medical treatments to help prevent infections. However, its ability to rapidly kill bacteria, viruses and fungi that settle on its surface has now been comprehensively demonstrated in the laboratory, and is also evident in clinical settings.
In the first clinical trial – carried out at the now-closed Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham between 2007 and 2008 – it was shown that microbial load on frequently-touched surfaces, such as taps, light switches, grab rails, bedside tables and toilet seats, could be reduced by greater than 90% if these items are replaced with antimicrobial copper equivalents. These observations have been subsequently supported by similar studies in healthcare facilities across the world.
Most recently, a preliminary report on the effect of antimicrobial copper touch surfaces on the incidence of nosocomial infections (HCAIs) in an ICU environment showed a patient's risk of acquiring an HCAI is reduced when only six key touch surfaces in their vicinity are made from antimicrobial copper.
'This supports the use of antimicrobial copper touch surfaces as an adjunct to existing infection control procedures, in conjunction with continued regular surface cleaning and disinfection.
'These trial results raise a simple question,' Professor Elliott says. 'Why select a material other than antimicrobial copper when specifying surfaces that may be vehicles for the spread of infection? With the advent of multiple antibiotic-resistant bacteria causing HCAIs, some of which are very difficult to treat, such an approach – with the continuous antimicrobial activity of copper – is potentially even more relevant and important in today's healthcare setting than ever before.'

Coke Daniels is all for people comparing his film "Karen" to Jordan Peele's "Get Out," but to say he ripped it off? Coke essentially says get the hell outta here with that take!
The writer/producer tells TMZ … they're 2 totally different films. His about an entitled white, racist woman who tries to run a Black family out of the neighborhood, while "Get Out" is about a mixed-race couple visiting her super-creepy family.
However, it didn't stop people from talking trash. One person said on Twitter, "Jordan Peele only has two films under his belt as a director and he already has people trying to copy his formula."
Now, Coke will cop to the idea that the films do share a similarity in genre … and the director thinks THAT is what haters were really describing after the trailer dropped on Tuesday.
ICYMI, they slammed "Karen" — starring Taryn Manning in the creepy lead — as a wannabe "Get Out." The criticism was so intense, Jordan Peele's name started trending on Twitter.
Coke noticed all the social media buzz, took a screenshot of several posts and captioned it, "Trending on Twitter!! Keep comparing Karen to Get Out! We'll receive that!"
Coke tells us he's also seen folks saying his movie looks more like an 'SNL' skit, but watch his reaction — he's not too mad about that criticism … and added a shout-out to Tyler Perry. Oh yeah, Jordan too.

Q: What was the difference in the second half, besides that you didn't execute in the first half?
TB: Yeah, that's kind of my standard answer. We didn't do much good in the first half. The second half was great We started with the great job there in the third quarter and got the lead, had some really big momentum plays. The strip-sack was big and then the long drive there to start the fourth quarter was great too. It was a good team effort. It wasn't easy. Like I said, we're still grinding away. We obviously have a long way to go, but it feels good to be 6-2.
Q: Were there some loud discussions at halftime?
TB: It was pretty normal. I mean, we know what we have to do; we just have to go out there and do it for 60 minutes. When you play a team like Miami and they have a good team and they've got some good players, it takes really solid execution. When we do it well, it's OK; when we don't, we're off the field. We just have to do a better job overall and try to play well for 60 minutes because ultimately, that's what it's going to take.
Q: Can you talk about the job of your offensive linemen? You lost Sebastian Vollmer before the half, but were kind of able to get things going in the second half.
TB: Yeah, Marcus [Cannon] did a great job of stepping in and playing that role. And he's done that for a few years now, playing that swing tackle. [He was] forced into action and Seabass [Sebastian Vollmer], I'm not sure what it is and hopefully he's OK. But, it's tough losing guys on the offensive line, but the guys that were in there stepped in and did a great job.
Q: Bill Belichick seemed pretty excited about your critical run play there. He might want to add some run plays to the playbook. Can you go through what you saw and how you reacted?
TB: Yeah, it was fourth-and-5 or 6, something like that, fourth-and-4. They were playing zone coverage and I was looking for Gronk [Rob Gronkowski] and Danny [Amendola] and they had those two guys – it was pretty tight. I found a little space. It doesn't happen often, but it ended up being a good play for us. And we needed it. It was tough going that direction into the wind today, so that touchdown was really critical – a critical drive for us.
Q: You had three points and 25 yards on the board going into the half and there were boos coming down. Are you more pissed than the people in the stands at that point?
TB: I mean, we're 6-2. We're obviously not doing a great job in a lot of areas on offense, so we're trying to get it right. We're working at it. We're 6-2 and we've got a whole season ahead of us, but we obviously have to do a better job.
Q:** You do inevitably seem to figure it out. There is a sense that this team over the last 14 years, you guys do figure it out. So when you hear that coming down from the stands, do you say, 'That is what it is and we know what we're capable of'?
TB: I didn't hear much. Truthfully, I just go off the field and it's a long game. I know sometimes it doesn't go well in the first quarter, second quarter, or the third quarter, but ultimately you have to wait until it all plays out. I wish we were doing a better job for 60 minutes, but we're not and we've still got to find a way to win. We're 6-2 and we've had two chances in the games we lost. The expectations are high. They're high for us; I'm sure they're high for our fans.
Q: A lot of TV time on your hand today. How is it?
TB: It's perfect.
Q: It's not bothering you at all?
TB: Absolutely not.
Q: It looks pretty swollen.
TB: I didn't know [how] anyone knows what the back of my right hand looks like, but it looks fine to me and it feels good. I'll be out there next week; you don't have to worry about that.
Q: Without getting into detail, how important is it for you, even if you were hurt, to push through and set the standard for these young guys? How important is it for you guys to keep fighting.
TB: That's what you do. It's football. It's a contact sport and you play as hard as you can and you count on the guys next to you to do the same. I feel great. For the eighth week of the year, I feel awesome. Hopefully we go out and execute better. Ultimately, that's what it takes.
Q: Does this game kind of epitomize what this season has been for you guys? You've had to really fight through adversity in a several areas.
TB: Sure. I mean, you start slow and you just try to grind it out. It wasn't the way we wanted to start. I mean, there are other times where we've gotten off to great starts and played poorly in the second half, but it's a 60-mnute game and you try to make adjustments if you can. You try to figure out ways to move the ball. But it's a good defensive football team we're playing that rushes well, they cover well, they stop the run. They've got really good players. I mean, we're 6-2. We're at a decent place in our division. Would we love to be 8-0? Sure. So would every other team in the NFL. We're 6-2. We're fighting through it. We've got another big one this week and then we've got a bye week after that, so we've got to put everything we can into this week and try to get to 7-2.
Q: Your defense really did a great job getting the ball back for you guys and helping with the comeback. Can you talk about what you were seeing when they were on the field?
TB: I mean, the defense shut them out in the second half, so that was as impressive of a performance as you can have. We did a few things offensively to help out. Steve [Gostkowski] made some great kicks on special teams. We got a lot of great special teams plays. It was a team effort. It's hard to win games in the NFL, especially against division opponents – and they always play us tough, so it was good to get the win.
Q: Did you feel the momentum shift when they missed that field goal and Stevan Ridley ripped off the big run?
TB: The momentum always kind of goes back-and-forth as the game goes on. You love to have those momentum plays. We had the touchdown to Gronk [Rob Gronkowski] that got called back on the holding penalty – that would have been a big play. It's up and own and you just try to stay focused on your execution and stay focused on what you need to do.
Q: How much did you change your game plan offensively at halftime as far as how you were attacking?
TB: Not much. Our game plan was pretty well in tact; it was just a matter of us going out and executing a little bit better. We didn't do much in the first quarter, even though we had the wind, which really helped. We throw an interception on the first drive and then don't do well on the second drive and the next thing you know, the first quarter is over and we're trudging through the wind in the second quarter. Then we got it back in the third quarter and made enough plays to get the lead. It's just one of those days. It's typical Foxborough and we fought through it.
Q: Can you explain more about the wind going to that open side of the stadium?
TB: It was tough. It was a tough day out there. Weather always seems to play a factor here at some point, but it works for both teams. When we had the weather, the good opportunity, we took advantage of it there in the third quarter. That's what we needed to do. You get better punts. You get better kickoffs. The passes have more zip on them when they're going down the field and vice versa in the other direction. So you try to take advantage when you can like we did. It was good to score those points in the third quarter. That's what we needed.
Q: Are you by getting frustrated? Do you just say 'it's OK, we'll get it later on down the road'?
TB: It's a 60-minute game, so…we're 6-2. I know a lot of people are frustrated, but to be 6-2 is not bad. We'll just try to win next week and get to 7-2. That's what we'll try to do.
Q: What's your perspective on whether this is the way it's going to be offensively, just grinding it out, or could be a time in the future where you do get that 60-minute execution?
TB: We're trying. Like I said, there are a lot of things we can do better. Obviously with the way we're not doing a lot of things great, but we'll try to figure out the things we need to do better and see if we can make those improvements.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla (PRWEB) August 20, 2017
If you are a fan of fishing, then you will love the New Smyrna Beach area. Fishing is a fun way to reel in a good time, whether you surf fish in the Atlantic or spend a lazy day angling on the pristine Indian River in Edgewater or on the Halifax River in Port Orange. The New Smyrna Beach area is known as the "Redfish Capital of the World". However, that does not stop visiting fishermen and local anglers to catch different species of fish during their trip such as snapper, grouper, snook, tarpon and more.
New Smyrna Beach is located on the central east coast of Florida and has 13 miles of clear coastline perfect for swimming, surfing, fishing and more. In neighboring communities Edgewater and Oak Hill, there are many inland secluded beaches off the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) that are perfect for outdoor pursuits and wildlife encounters. The area is truly an anglers' paradise due to the deep-water access to the Atlantic Ocean via Ponce Inlet and the Intracoastal Waterway inshore opportunities with public dock locations and shallow waters near the mangroves. Individuals are always enjoying world-class fishing opportunities offshore and in the backwaters of Mosquito Lagoon.
Something is biting everyday both offshore and inshore. Surf fishing can be quite productive due to pompano, whiting, flounder, redfish, bluefish, Spanish mackerel and other species patrolling the beach. Sailfish and big tuna live 40 miles out where the intercontinental shelf drops and the Gulf Stream passes by. Additionally, bottom fishing and diving on the reefs and wrecks can also produce sizable catches of triggerfish, snapper, grouper, and Florida lobster. Resting 11 miles northeast of Ponce Inlet and measuring 446 feet, is the oldest and the most famous wreck: WW II Liberty ship, USS Mindanao. This site is a great diving spot to explore bottom fishing and wreck history. However, a new man-made reef lies closer to shore, about one mile east of Flagler Avenue in New Smyrna Beach.
The Indian River, which makes New Smyrna Beach a barrier island, is also a fishing mecca. Almost every day of the year, guides use fast shallow water flats boats to hunt a variety of fish such as big gator trout, snook, reds, flounder and black drum. Within the shallow water of the Indian River Lagoon live the largest spotted seatrout found anywhere in the world. During spring and summer months, big seatrout concentrate on the flats closest to the area inlets.
According to Florida Sport Fishing Magazine, the best offshore catch is a King Mackerel and the best inshore catch is the Tarpon. As the summer heat decreases and the daily weather patterns change, kingfish will present themselves much off the Atlantic coverage zone taking full advantage of the mullet run. When cooler temperatures hit the waters in the state further north, mullet begin their journey south known as the "mullet run". Because of this, King Mackerel will be more present as well as Tarpon. Matt Arnholt's, article "Meeting of the Masses" featured in Florida Sport Fishing Magazine's September/October 2017 issue, says that the "the annual mullet run is a dead giveaway for where and when anglers should focus their efforts. Wherever there are mullet found cruising the surface, it's a safe bet that there will be tarpon in hot pursuit. This legendary fall run offers rare predictability, as anglers can count on massive schools of mullet invading area inlets, beaches and backwaters by early October."
With many fishing opportunities available, it is easy to spend all day looking for the perfect catch, which is why many individuals consider charters and expert guide services to make fishing easier. These locals know the area and can take you out to the best spots to get that unforgettable catch! For a complete list of charter boats, fishing guides, boat rentals, marinas, beachfront parks, fishing piers, fish camps, bait and tackle shops, and boat ramps, check out the official Fishing Guide at https://visitnsbfl.com/outdoors/outdoor-sports.
New Smyrna Beach area communities have fishing heritages dating back hundreds of years and lcoal home cooks and restaurant chefs attest to the bounty of fresh catch. Many local restaurants will even prepare and serve up your catch of the day, if called ahead.
New Smyrna Beach is also known as a Blue Community which is a program for coastal communities to declare their own work to protect the ocean and promote ocean sustainability. This includes the promotion of seafood sustainability. Promotion of sustainable seafood has many benefits including "Sustainable Seafood Choice of the Day." This action, in turn, creates awareness of sustainable seafood to guests each day. Local restaurants that are already enacting sustainable practices include:
•JB's Fish Camp and Seafood
•Goodrich Seafood & Oyster House
•Off the Hook Raw Bar and Grill
•SoNapa Grille
•Norwood's Eatery
•Oceans Seafood
Licenses are required in Florida for both fresh and saltwater fishing. The exception is when fishing from a privately-owned dock. For Florida residents, defined as those who have lived in the state longer than six months, licensing is available ranging from one year up to a lifetime. Those under 16 years of age, over age 65, or members of the Armed Forces stationed in Florida do not require a license. Special permit licensing is needed for seasonal snook, tarpon and lobster fishing. Non-Residents can purchase licensing ranging for three days or a year for saltwater fishing and for seven days or a year for freshwater fishing. Licenses are available online, and at many marinas and bait shops.
This year, the annual community saltwater festival, FishStock, will take place the weekend after Labor Day, September 8 - 10, 2017, and will be held at the New Smyrna Beach Marina and Outriggers Restaurant. Though FishStock provides participating anglers with various forms of on-the-water competition, this unique event is so much more than a fishing tournament. Many anglers, families and friends will flock to New Smyrna Beach to enjoy the total saltwater experience with a boat show, KidStock, 5K run, seminars and more. Anglers can enter in either the inshore Redfish-Trout Challenge or offshore Striker Tournament to test their skills against the area's top anglers.
Local tournaments like FishStock attract anglers worldwide. The forecast is looking great for those who are looking to reel in some great catches in the Redfish Capital of the World. Visit http://www.fishstock.com for more information.
The New Smyrna Beach area is surrounded by world-class coastal options which makes it a great vacation destination for anglers, outdoor enthusiasts and families to enjoy.

OMG / Why is this red stripe on the medicine packing? Find out the serious reason behind it
When buying medicine we never pay attention to what the red stripe on it shows.
- Look carefully at the marks on the medicine
- Why is there a red band on the medicine pack?
- What does the red bar represent?
Sometimes when we buy things we don't pay attention to anything and even ignore the signs on it. One of them is medicine. Whenever we buy a tablet there is a red stripe on it, never thought what that stripe shows.
Most people go straight to the medical store instead of going to the doctor when they get sick and buy medicine by saying half of their trouble. It cures the disease but sometimes has serious side effects.
આ પણ વાંચો :- જો તમારા ફોન પરથી બધા નંબરો deleted થઈ ગયા છે , તો પછી રીસ્ટોર કેવી રીતે કરશો જાણો
Whenever you have a common fever or cold, instead of going to the medical store, go to the doctor and buy the medicine only after his advice.
The drug should not be misused
Very few people know about the red band on the medicine leaf but doctors know a lot about it. The red stripe on it indicates that the drug cannot be sold without a doctor's prescription.
આ પણ વાંચો :- જો તમે દર મહિને 70 હજાર કમાવવા માંગતા હો, તો આજથી આ કાર્ય શરૂ કરો, સરકાર પણ મદદ કરે છે
It has a red stripe on the packaging to prevent misuse of antibiotics.
Be sure to look for marks on the medicine
There are also some medicines that have XRx written on their leaves. This means that the drug can be taken not directly in a medical but directly from a doctor.
This type of medicine can be given directly by the doctor to his patient.
ગુજરાતીમાં વાંચવા માટે અહિયાં ક્લિક કરો
Even if the doctor prescribes the medicine, the medicine will not be available in the medical store.
When buying medicine for such reasons, look carefully at the markings on it and try to understand what it shows.

We live in a superficial world where sexual skill is often based on dubious criteria. Many men assume that the hotter their partner is, the better the sex will be. I'm sure many heterosexual women believe the same thing. But when it comes down to it, physical characteristics are pretty poor indicators of how sex is going to turn out.
Nothing is worse than the assumptions we make about penis size. According to a 2007 study published in the urology journal BJU International taken, 55 percent of men said they were satisfied with their junk. Based on this survey, half of the guys reading this will, at some point, have to deal with the emotional concerns packaged with their package. About 85 percent of women said they were "very satisfied" with the size of their lover's penis, so I asked whether or not penis size matters.
"Size matters," said Norah*, a friend of mine. "Any girl who says otherwise is lying."
Sounds like a pretty direct answer to me. While it addresses part of the question, I don't think it answers it fully. After thinking about her answer, I now think that the more appropriate question is "How much is enough?" More importantly, what's average?
Scientifically speaking, the average is probably smaller than you'd expect. Believe it or not, the kind of equipment we see in porn and hear about in R-rated comedies doesn't reflect reality. LifeStyles Condoms recently conducted a study to make sure that they were making their products the appropriate size. After 400 college students were measured, the company concluded that the average erect penis size is 5.9 inches.
Opinions differ on whether or not length is even important. In studies relating to pregnancy and childbirth, the average vagina is found to be roughly five to seven inches deep. So how long does a penis really need to be?
"I'd say it's more about width than length," another friend, Lisa, told me. When she found herself in a situation in which her boyfriend was too big, she didn't know what to do. "I was just surprised that someone could be too big."
The moral of this story seems to be that penis size isn't everything. I'm sure you can imagine how a larger unit can cause some problems – namely not being able to fit it where you want it. In fact, I think it's more difficult to deal with a large penis than a small penis.
"There are other ways to have orgasms," said April, a third female friend, when asked what she would do with a penis on the small side. "So if sex didn't do it for me, I would hope that the guy had other skills."
If you're too big to make penetration comfortable, the same rules apply. Oral sex and other types of stimulation are always an option, and lots of lube can help you out.
So what's the verdict? The women I talked to agreed on one thing.
"I think what's more important is how much you're into it," said Norah.
"It depends on the skill of your partner," added April. I think most women would agree with them.
The best thing you can do, aside from refining your technique, is to be confident. Regardless of what Smilin' Bob might lead you to believe, you're not going to get any longer. You're pretty much stuck with what you've got.

Civil Rights
Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
We're big advocates of registering your trademarks -- it's a relatively painless process that can protect your intellectual property from infringement. We say "relatively painless" because, unlike the trademark for Havana Club rum, most trademark applications don't take 21 years to be processed.
One way to avoid having your trademark application sit around for two decades is to stay out of the kind of litigation Havana Club got involved in. Here are a few others:
There are four things you should absolutely know before beginning the trademark application process:
While trademark registration is generally a good idea, there may be cases where you've already secured trademark protection by using your mark. And any small business owner should know the entirety of the application process before embarking.
It's not enough to know how to help your trademark application -- you should also know how to hurt it, and avoid doing so. Here are six common trademark mistakes:
The USPTO is very particular about what can be trademarked and what cannot. So make sure your mark is original, that's it's not overly broad or vague, that your application is sufficiently specific, and that it covers all the intended uses for your mark.
The best way to avoid the common pitfalls of trademark applications is to have an experienced intellectual property lawyer guide you through the process. You can find one in our directory.

"Unlike many writing about ayahuasca, Peter Gorman knows this plant and these forests long and well. Explorer, ethnobotanist, writer and raconteur - Gorman is uniquely qualified to tell this incredible tale. A wild mixture of adventure, horror, spirituality, tenderness, and insight, Ayahuasca in My Blood is most highly recommended!"
|Mark J. Plotkin, author of Tales of a Shaman's Apprentice.
"I have been devouring this book. Peter, you are the real deal -- you are a true mitayero, a man of the jungle, and you have had adventures others can only dream of. And you are a wonderful storyteller, powerfully honest about yourself, with a deep connection to the spiritual life of the Upper Amazon, both the light and the dark. I am recommending it to everyone."
|Steve Beyer, author of Singing to the Plants
"Long before ayahuasca tourism became a pastime for rich gringos, Peter Gorman was knocking around Iquitos and the Amazon. He's traveled the rivers and quaffed the brew with the best (and the worst) of them and been way, way beyond the chrysanthemum on many a dark jungle night. This is the intensely personal story of an old-school jungle rat for whom ayahuasca is not just a hobby, but a life-long quest."
|Dennis McKenna, Ph.D, co-author of The Invisible Landscape
"Your book, in addition to your life's work, is just a totally awesome and inspiring piece of ayahuasca history and so beautifully shines the medicine spirit"
Adam Elenbass, author of Fishers of Men,
The Gospel of an Ayahuasca Vision Quest
"I have known and traveled with Peter for almost a decade and was present for a number of the events he included in this book as well as many others. Don Julio was the most powerful man I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Further, as a trained scientist I believe the plant medicine truly offers a doorway to a rich world that needs to be understood in our postmodern lives. This is destined to become a must read for anyone who is serious about understanding the world of the shaman."
|Lynn Chilson - CEO Chilson Enterprises, Inc.
For anyone with a longing for adventure, and an attraction to the magic and mystery of the jungle, this book is for you! Peter Gorman guides you through the land he loves best-- the Peruvian Amazon-- and tells his story with such passion that you really feel the "jungle love" filling every page of his memoir. Learn about the medicine, ancient shamanic wisdom, and the curses and blessings of answering ayahuasca's call. This is a great read for anyone looking for inspiration to "follow your dream" (who knows where it will lead you?). Don't miss the boat on this one!!!
|muthanature, on Amazon.com
I absolutely love this book! Its truly a work of high art....A phenomenological memoir of sorts rich with insight and wisdom......Gorman renders his visions and relays his experiences with precision and intelligent detail, all with an air of honesty, humbleness, and clarity.
|spex, on Amazon.com
Gorman bares his all for the reader, inviting one to join him on his adventures through love, danger, heartache & a heroic commitment to ayahuasca & his teachers. Both in life & story, he provides a unique opportunity for 'gringo's' like myself to delve deeply into some of the greatest mysteries of existence.
'Ayahuasca in my blood' will stay in my blood & on my bookshelf for many years to come!
|lara rose, on Amazon.com
Peter Gorman's book about his time in the amazon is a must read for everyone interested in Shamanism, sacred medicine and soul healing.
His honest, fearless and riveting account of his inner journeys with ayahuasca not only helps to put one's own experiences into context but also gives encouragement to continue one's inner journey.
His work with the people from the amazon is a vital contribution to a world that's lost it's magic and respect for spirit.
Once started I couldn't put this book down.....
|Shion, on Amazon.com
I couldn't put this book down! It is the best book I have ever read, on any subject. Peter takes you there in a way no one else can, short of actually being there.
|Randall, on Amazon.com
I could not put this book down! Peter Gorman isn't just writing about ayahuasca experiences -- he's telling tales of 25 years of traveling and living in the Amazon. The chapter "Chepa and the Pirates" alone is worth the price of admission.
|Allyson, on Amazon.com
I didn't think a book about ayahuasca could be such a page turner, but it was by turns fascinating, scary and emotionally moving. I didn't want it to end, but I had to see how it ended.
Another excellent book on ayahuasca that was published recently is Singing to the Plants, by Steve Beyer. Beyer's book gives an eagle's perspective: he takes the reader high above the phenomenon of mestizo ayahuasca practice in Peru, and shows its major patterns, and the different peoples who practice it, and their ideas about it. The material is presented coolly, clearly, and encyclopedically with various well-organized topics. Peter's book, in contrast, gives an anaconda's perspective, swimming deep in the dark rivers of an individual's very personal experience as he reluctantly takes on some of the functions of a curandero while struggling to keep his family together.
Once started I couldn't put this book down...
|Nathan Horowitz, on Amazon.com
Gorman's descriptions are vivid. You fly right along with him as he searches for answers.

Whether you're buying a new car or renting an apartment, there are ways to help with your credit report. Hard inquiries affect your credit report for approximately a year so it is helpful to know what to do. Here is more on how to remove hard inquiries from your credit report.
There are two types of inquiries – a hard inquiry and a soft inquiry. Soft inquiries do not affect your credit score because they are often initiated by you. In some cases, a lender will do a soft inquiry to raise your credit limit, but these do not hurt your credit.
A hard inquiry is when you apply for credit. An example is when you buy a new car. The dealership takes information like your name, social security number, address, driver's license, etc. They will then shop around for lenders and you may see many hard inquiries on your credit report.
The good news is that FICO treats these as one inquiry since it was so that you get the best lender. These fall off of your credit report in a couple of years. Keep in mind though, a hard inquiry may drop your credit score by a few points.
Allowing the hard inquiry to drop off on its own after a couple of years is one way but this is not always the optimal avenue to take.
Another way is to write a letter to each credit bureau. Include the reason, the entity that requested the information, and a request for removal. This is called a credit inquiry removal letter. This is ideal for when there is an unrecognized activity or unauthorized activity.
Another way to remove hard inquiries is with a credit repair company. Most credit repair companies do the work for you so that you do not have to write letters or keep up with all of the details. The company can remove items that are unfair, inaccurate, and unverified and this includes hard inquiries that affect your credit score. An affordable credit repair company can help you if funds are tight. Two options that have the best service with the lowest price are Sky Blue Credit Repair and Credit Saint. Check out our Credit Saint reviews to find out more.
This is the easiest route to take to ensure that your credit report is accurate and any unfair report goes away – and you do not have to do the work.

Tumut News
10 November 1858 The Goulburn Herald and County of Argyle Advertiser
Value of Land at Tumut
On Friday week, Mr. Hilton, auctioneer, of Tumut, sold by public auction, 40 acres of land, without the slightest improvement thereon, for £580, averaging £14, per acre - a sum unprecedented in the annals of suburban sale, at so great a distance in the interior of New South Wales.
Nor was it the result of that phrenzy so frequently exhibited at land sales, as one of the purchasers subsequently admitted he would not re sell at £20 per acre.
Crops & Livestock
We have every prospect of a flourishing harvest, the intermitting rains with which we have been favoured having had a most genial influence.
Cattle are improving in condition, and we have, thank Heaven! the comforts of life in abundance.
Steam Flour Mill
Mr. Body's new steam mill is in full operation, and, I believe, turns out a very good article.
It is to be hoped the Fitz Roy mania will act as a salutary caution to future peripatetic miners, and that they will not desert a locality where comfort and competence awaits them, to waste their energies on chimerical enterprizes fraught with such disastrous results. We have ample room for tho sands, which time and experience will develop.
The aphis has made its appearance among us, and is ravaging our garden produce. Several means have been adopted, but hitherto without success. May its ravages be averted from the crop!
We had a very heavy storm of thunder and lightning, which continued during the whole of yesterday night; the rain was quite tropical and fell in. torrents. I suppose the late comet will be attributed as the cause of this, and any future visitations which may occur.
6th November, 1858.

The Department of State (DoS) seeks to move forward with "extreme vetting" measures, asking foreign nationals seeking both immigrant and nonimmigrant visas for social media information. The request for additional information from foreigners, which DoS seeks along with the Office of Management and Budget, is expected to take effect at the end of May.
The proposal includes the addition of several questions on visa applications. Besides asking for information on which social media platforms applicants' use, other information sought on the information includes email addresses and phone numbers used by applicants in the last 5 years.
The updated application also asks for information about any terror activities committed by relatives. Applicants from countries where the practice of female genital mutilation is common receive information about the illegality of the practice in the United States.
The proposal, published in the Federal Registry at the end of March, currently sits in the 60-day comment period, which runs through May 29.
Close to 15 million individuals– around 14 million nonimmigrant visa applicants and around 710,000 immigrant visa applicants.
President Donald Trump suggested last year that visitors and immigrants to the United States should be subjected to character assessments through the lens of social media and electronic communication. At the time, civil liberties groups sounded the alarm, alleging the move undercuts basic rights and assumptions around personal privacy.
"But officials say they could identify potential extremists, such as one of the attackers, such as one of the attackers in the December 2015 San Bernadino shooting– who got a visa despite allegedly advocating 'jihad' on social media," according to one published report.
The additional information requested from foreign nationals seeking entry into the country applies to both the DS-260, Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Form and to the DS-160, Application for Nonimmigrant Visa.
The move by DoS to collect additional information follows the Trump Administration's sway in generally tightening up immigration practices overall. H-1B visas, used largely by tech companies in recruiting highly-skilled foreign workers, are one category under particular scrutiny. With the changes, the president intends to extend protections to American workers.

View a list of program attendees
Join us at Harris-Stowe State University for a presentation on challenges and successes in the design and construction of the HSSU Early Childhood Development/Parent Education Center, currently seeking LEED Gold certification. During the design of the project the Owner had yet to determine if the project should be LEED certified and at what level. After several meetings to discuss the pros and cons of certification it was determined to pursue a Silver level when the design was nearly 95% complete. Behind schedule and over-budget according to the Construction Manager's estimates, the project team faced major challenges. Learn how these challenges were overcome and how the building is now expecting Gold level certification, while being completed on schedule and nearly a million dollars under budget. After the formal presentation, attendees will have an opportunity to take a self-guided tour through the building with designated stops including classrooms, the pervious paved drive, and rain garden.

Taxpayers guaranteeing developer debt? The argument for Strata just g
Developers of Strata, the speculative office tower proposed for Cordish's P&L district, said downtown lacks "Class A" office space. They got the preliminary nod from Council members McManus, Justus, Barnes and Wagner. The Council members' move would commit taxpayers to guarantee still more bond debt at P&L. But new questions arise as the former DST's "Class A" building is nearly empty and up for lease.
According to KCBJ "The former headquarters building for DST Systems Inc. is available for lease. The five-story building at 333 W. 11th St. in downtown Kansas City is Class A office space with high-end finishes. It has 84,488 leasable square feet on five levels with floor plates ranging from about 15,000 to 19,000 square feet. The building has not been entirely vacated by
DST and its successor company, but the lease offering comes a year after the company announced it was laying off 6% of its global workforce after the Kansas City-based financial tech company sold for $5.4 billion to SS&C Technologies Holdings Inc.

When we went to Le Grau d'Agde the other day we stopped on the way home at one of the many roadside fruit and vegetable stalls that are set up in summer to catch the holidaymakers, especially, but also the locals. Many of them sell produce grown in fields within sight of the stall and they all sell very good value fruit and vegetables, mostly of excellent quality, but also some real bargains if you want damaged fruit to make jam with. We bought this platter of about 5 kilos of good quality ripe apricots for 6 euros. As we can't possible eat them all before the get over-ripe we made jam with some of them and froze some as granita.
My very simple recipe for granita is to stone the fruit and then process it in the food processor until the fruit is chopped into small pieces but not completely smooth. For 1.5 kilo of fruit (about 1.75 kilo with stones) I added the juice of a lemon. I made a sugar syrup by bringing to the boil 400 ml of water and 700 grams of sugar until the sugar dissolved, let it cool a bit then added it to the fruit purée, put it all into freezer containers and into the freezer. I take it out of the freezer about 15 minutes before serving and garnish it with mint leaves.
And the tomatoes……
Yesterday evening in the garden I noticed that one of the Languedocian tomatoes seems to be starting to change colour, becoming slightly yellow rather than green on its way to red – or is it just my imagination?
All the tomatoes are doing well with what looks like a very good crop on plants of all the varieties. I'm especially pleased with the Languedocians, which are adapted to conditions in this area, and the Turkish pink variety, grown from seeds sent to me by beste. The tomatoes on these plants are said to reach 1 kilo in weight and these ones look as though they're well on their way towards that!
The marigolds in the left-hand corner of the picture were given to us by our neighbour as he uses them along his rows of tomatoes to prevent pests. They appear to prevent aphids, not a problem I've noticed with tomato plants, but they look pretty anyway!
Une chemise de cigale
The empty casings from which cicada nymphs emerge after spending at least two years underground are called 'chemises' in French, cicada's shirts. I found this on one of the posts supporting our aubergine plants:
By the time they emerge from their chemises they have developed wings and they fly away, the males to spend the rest of the summer making their characteristic cricket-like buzzing whenever the temperature reaches 26 C or more.
We came home from the garden to a supper which I'd prepared earlier – baked cuttlefish with capers, olives and potatoes. I've posted the recipe on my Food from the Mediterranean blog.

|Roach Killer. By Jacques Tardi and Benjamin Legrand. Translated by Randy and Jean-Marc Lofficier. New York: NBM, 1992. 60p. $11.95. ISBN 1-56163-054-3.
Anyway, while going about his exterminating chores in New York City, he is called to a 12th-floor doctor's office to zap the roaches there. However, when he enters the office building, he sees that the building has a 13th floor. He hadn't realized that any NY buildings had 13th floors, and, curious, he punches that button. When he arrives at this otherwise perfectly ordinary floor, he overhears a couple of men discussing murders for hire behind a closed door, and Howard quickly gets out of there. But the man who is waiting for him on the 12th floor is spooky and suspicious, and after Howard sprays the office, he leaves the building very nervously. To calm himself, he enters a bar, where he meets a co-worker, Luis, a hard-bitten Puerto Rican. Immediately recognizing that Howard is frightened about something--especially when the man from the doctor's office and a fellow goon walks past the bar window--Luis sneaks Howard out the back door of the bar and takes him to his apartment in the barrio. A former gang member, Luis seems to feel that there's money in Howard's story, and he goes to check out the 13th floor while Howard waits with Luis's friend Herminio.
While Luis is gone, his voodoo-practicing sister comes in and starts making predictions about Howard, how "Death follow you!" She ends up forcing herself on him, and Luis comes home in the middle of their sex. Luis is furious both over this and over the fact that he found nothing on the 13th floor. He strikes Howard, but then they sit down to watch the movie Patton [yeah, this didn't make any sense to me, either], and Howard falls asleep and dreams about killing Nazi roaches, one of whom is his real father. He awakens in the morning to find Herminio asleep and Luis gone to work.
Walking through the blasted landscape of the barrio, Howard buys a newspaper, but while he sits in a bar to read it, he looks outside and sees Luis and several of his friends confront the two goons from the previous day. In a few seconds, three of the men are dead, and Luis is kidnapping the doctor's-office goon. Howard walks away from this but is picked up later by Luis, who intends to turn him over to the goons for "a suitcase full of cash." However, the goons have gone to Luis's apartment, trashed the place, killed Herminio, and kidnapped Luis's sister. They later call Luis at a random pay phone (demonstrating their power), and the exchange becomes Howard for the sister. However, the goons are much smarter and better organized than Luis; Luis, his sister, and another friend end up dying, and Howard is framed for the murder and made to look like a lunatic. But that's perfect for the shadow organization of the goons; they have use for a man already "known" to be a crazy killer.
Besides the short introduction by art spiegelman (who has the gesture returned in the book when his last name is used as the name of a business), there are two other pieces of prose: "Necromobile," by Legrand, which apparently bridges the gap between two pieces of sequential art, and an afterword by Tardi.
The problem really lies in the story. No surprise why art spiegelman focuses largely on the art ("No comix artist has ever captured a Sense of Place with greater skill") in his intro. This is one of those pretentious, artsy "insanity" books that irk me. Sometimes the reader is asked to accept fairly outrageous things--there are a couple of "Huh?" moments that even the possiblity that Howard's memory is faulty don't explain them, like the "Patton" one mentioned above, or Luis's mercenary beliefs about what he might find on the 13th floor (I mean, why would that seem to be a money-making possibility?). The latter is a key point that gets Luis involved in the story, so its shakiness is a real problem.
So maybe Howard is crazy and sees things only as he believes they happened. Well, that's a copout--too many people use insanity as a substitute for intelligible plotting and believable events. I'm also getting tired of thoroughly colorless heroes around whom events swirl uncontrollably. Howard's expression almost never changes; the only real emotion he ever displays is fear. (Let's face it, when the act that sets all this in motion is the pressing of an elevator button, you know this isn't a dynamic character.) Frankly, I was more interested in the amoral Luis, who at least was lively and trying to make events work for him.
Another problem is that some extremely important information only comes out in Legrand's text piece or Tardi's afterword. For example, the shady organization employs whackos to kill famous people in order to make sure no suspicion falls on the organization. Well and good, but why couldn't that be part of the drawn story rather than explained in text? If, for example, instead of the head of the shady organization referring to "the rock star" (the seemingly out-of-context reference confused me when I first encountered it), why not use "Lennon"? That one word would have clearly explained the purpose of the organization and rendered all the textual explanation unnecessary.
The story is only for fans of Tardi. However, the book may be of interest to budding serious comics artists for its stunning visuals.

About the Roh Community:
Roh has approximately 1,200 residents and is situated in a rural, mountainous area of northwestern Cameroon. The village is comprised of a Muslim community, a Catholic community, and a Protestant community.
Towards the end of our project in Kikoo, the chapter was solicited by the nearby village of Rohvitangitaa (Roh) to improve a gravity-fed water distribution system that was originally built in 2006.
Increasing Access to Clean Water:
EWB-Yale adopted the Roh project in 2012 with hopes of constructing an efficient system for the village that will improve access to clean water thereby reducing the incidence of water-borne illness.
The existing water system in Roh cannot meet the demands of the village's 1,200 inhabitants. A portion of the villagers resort to the use of unclean stream water, Roh Mendsev, which leads to a high incidence of water-borne illness. The goal of our project is to replace the existing system while expanding its coverage to improve access for more villagers. A 20,000-liter storage tank will also be constructed and connected to the system in order to supply a consistent flow of water to Roh to meet the high water demand of the early morning and evening as well as ensure access during the varying conditions of the wet and dry seasons. We will construct twelve public standpipes in addition to the three functioning ones that currently exist, and there is potential for installing a second catchment in the future.
A Focus on Health Education:
In addition to the physical construction of the system, a large part of our project focuses on health education efforts. We want to ensure that alongside improved access to clean water, the community members exhibit healthy behaviors, which will keep the water from being contaminated between collection point from the system standpipes and consumption time in the households. With the help of our public health mentor Laura Skrip, we are also conducting health surveys to evaluate the prevalence of waterborne illness and the impact of clean water and healthy behaviors.
Work Done on Previous Trips:
In 2012, the trip team traveled to Roh to collect topographical and geographical data in order to begin design of the new system.
Team members also conducted a baseline health survey that collected information from households across the community regarding past month illness, what sources they gather water from, etc.
EWB-Yale traveled to Roh for the project's first implementation trip in May 2013. Our team, along with our mentor Dave Sacco, worked alongside the people of Roh to construct the storage tank. In addition, through a vessel disinfection trial conducted at Yale, the team determined that bleach is the most effective way in breaking up biofilms formed over time on the surfaces of water vessels (transport, storage and drinking).
The team taught various households throughout Roh how to use bleach to disinfect their water vessels and coordinated with the community store to ensure that bleach would be available to community members. In an effort to educate Roh youth on health matters, EWB-Yale taught two lessons in each of Roh's three primary schools focusing on sickness, bacteria and healthy behaviors. The students enjoyed these interactive lessons. EWB-Yale looks forward to our next implementation trip later this year.

Call Of Duty Director Wants Tom Hardy And Chris Pine To Star
For a while now, rumours have been swirling around Sicario 2 director Stefano Sollima, suggesting that he's the frontrunner in the race for the director's chair on the highly anticipated film adaptation of the Activision game, Call Of Duty. Now that Activision Blizzard is stepping up talk of work on that project, all eyes are on Sollima for some kind of hint as to what he might be planning, were he to be confirmed for the job.
Speaking to Metro in a recent interview, the director took the opportunity to single out two specific actors that he greatly admires and would like to work with on the Call of Duty movie – specifically, Tom Hardy and Chris Pine.
"I mean, I like almost everything [Tom Hardy has been in]. I'm waiting for his Venom. Even in Mad Max, he was great.
"[Chris Pine] is tough, but he's smart and he can have a sense of humour but he can [also] be in such a dramatic role. I like when you feel that an actor can play with different nuances and tone because this means they're a good actor."
Both actors have repeatedly proven themselves eminently capable of delivering action movie performances that are compelling and nuanced, and have also demonstrated noteworthy onscreen chemistry when they appeared together in the 2012 action-comedy This Means War. The prospect of these two stars being brought together with a director that's also a fan of their work is therefore very intriguing indeed.
The real question, though, would be whether Tom Hardy and Chris Pine would be enough to elevate what could potentially be yet another failed video game adaptation. The genre is renowned for its flops, as Hollywood studios have yet to hit upon the winning formula to turn internationally popular games into narratively coherent stories on the big screen. Even 2016's Assassin's Creed spectacularly underperformed at the box office, despite having the loyal fanbase.
Call Of Duty is a property that simulates warfare, and this is something that we've seen time and again in cinemas over the years. The gimmick that could potentially set it apart – and make it more than just another war movie – is the fact that it's a first-person shooter. Clearly, to have the film follow this format, it would make it difficult to have Tom Hardy and Chris Pine star, unless the story has the audience in the position of first-person shooter, and Hardy and Pine as fellow soldiers. In light of recent events in America, such a premise might be a difficult sell, though – because times and attitudes have changed a great deal since the video game first launched in 2003.
This is, of course, entirely speculative – as Stefano Sollima has yet to be confirmed as the director of Call Of Duty. As and when he is, though, it'll be interesting to see how his casting process unfolds.

It's hard to imagine a time when employee engagement has been as important as it is right now as we emerge from the global pandemic. As organisations begin reopening their offices, employees need to feel safe returning to work. The pandemic may be shifting from a public health crisis to an economic crisis, and while individuals will likely continue to fear for their health, fear for their job security is also wreaking havoc with employees' wellbeing.
As businesses start to move through recovery, they will need their employees to feel enabled and engaged, not fearful and stressed. Leaders need to activate a new wave of listening and responding to their employees in this crucial phase. But what mattered before matters differently now. Listening programs need to be flexed, adjusted, and refocused so that leaders can determine how their people are responding to the return to work, while capturing the cultural shifts and emerging benefits that will stoke a successful recovery.
Listening differently
When the pandemic first emerged, organisations were forced to adapt with incredible speed. Almost overnight whole workforces went remote and into the void that was left by the physical workspace, leaders became more present and accessible, albeit virtually.
They were forced to make decisions and act without perfect information and to be more transparent and authentic in their communications with their people. These shifts created new connections between organisations, leaders and employees.
Now, things are changing again. It's not a 'return to normal'. There are now new challenges and new opportunities. For businesses to reap benefits from the transformation they have just been through, they'll need to identify what successes to preserve and where to support more change. What is the right intensity of change? What are the strengths uncovered through the crisis? What is needed for 'the new normal' to work?
There's now a golden opportunity for organisations to capture and build on what they've learned through the pandemic, by preserving and reinforcing what has worked well and identifying any gaps that need to be addressed. To do that, organisations need to evolve their employee listening and employee experience strategies. Rather than focusing on short-term, crisis management actions, they need to take a long-term view on the improvement they can gain from ongoing employee feedback. They also have to start asking the right questions to generate new insights in this new normal.
Core questions to ask post-COVID
We recommend that organisations ask their employees for feedback on three core areas: cultural shifts, emerging benefits, safety and wellbeing.
With such sudden and extreme shifts in the external environment brought by the pandemic, all organisations will have also experienced cultural shifts. The question is: where are they happening and what do you most want to carry forward? Questions probing how employees have experienced new ways of working and the behaviour of their leaders will help draw out the nature of those shifts, as well as what's working and what's not.
So much of the pandemic has been experienced in a negative way, as people feel suffocated by isolation and fear, alongside the real or threatened effects of the illness itself. But there are also good things that have emerged, that go well beyond sourdough baking skills. Organisations should be looking and listening for these benefits and leveraging them for the recovery. Some of these benefits can include things like increased collaboration that emerged from access to digital tools or more productivity given that many employees are no longer having to commute to the office.
The continued safety and wellbeing of your employees must continue to be first priority. This relies on your people maintaining confidence in the safety measures put in place by the organisation. Leaders will need to listen and act on how their people experience the return to work or remain working from home, including how they are continuing to manage their work and family commitments.
COVID-19 has shown the importance of listening and responding to employees and has brought about new and different ways of doing so. The best organisations will be listening harder than ever now – and showing their employees what they're doing in response.

The Schwarz Appliance is a removable expander which helps to correct a crossbite, crowding issues, and a narrow jaw in growing children. Depending on the situation, the Orthodontist might need the child to wear the Schwarz on only the bottom, only the top, or both. There are several types of Schwarz devices, used for a variety of jaw and palate expansion situations. One thing that all of them have in common is the need to turn an expansion key on a regular basis. The device is named after its inventor, Artur Martin Schwarz, an Austrian orthodontist who developed it in 1956.
Depending on the situation, a child might wear a Schwarz Appliance for four to nine months. If an extra expansion is necessary, the Orthodontist might also use a Rapid Palatal Expander.
