I stumbled upon Knecht Chiropractic's at Market days and decided to stop on a whim. After chatting for a while, I decided to make an appointment to come in and get an examination. I hadn't really thought about how my back pain or bad posture could be causing me long-term effects. Learning about how different parts of your spine can pinch nerves and cause other issues in your body was really eye-opening.
After my first visit, I could already feel how it was affecting my body. I felt like I was standing taller and not correcting my posture as much. I love coming into the office to get adjusted because I always leave feeling great. But I also love coming in because the staff is such a wonderful group of people that I love chatting with! I have already pushed friends of mine to try using a chiropractor themselves.
I initially started seeing Dr. K because of low back pain and constant neck pain. I had been going to another place with very little improvements. Luckily for me, Dr. Knecht is in my neighborhood and also offers fabulous care. My everyday low back pain has gone from a 7 down to a 2. Now that I've been seeing Dr. K regularly, my low back pain is almost non-existent. My neck pain is improving as well which is way more than I can say about my treatment at that other place. I enjoy the staff as well. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely feel "at home" during my visits.
I honestly didn't understand the importance of spinal alignment and the serious issues that can progress over time if issues go untreated. I feel like I've been very well educated on my specific issues. I'm more attentive with my posture. I've been more active and I truly have a much better understanding of the benefits of exercise, proper nutrition, and the basic maintenance of taking care of my body.
Go see Dr. K ASAP. He's honest, legit, and to the point. I appreciate that I was actually given a timeline for my treatments. I didn't even know that was a thing! I will absolutely stay on track in taking care of my spinal health as well as overall health. Knowing that I could be at risk for arthritis and a number of other ailments is enough for me to continue my path to wellness and overall, good health.
I wanted to start off my saying it is an honor to be the Patient of the Month! I am hoping my story brings some inspiration to those of you who are ready to become serious about chiropractic care. Initially, I was brought into to Knecht Chiropractic due to an injury I was dealing with in my lower back that had gotten severely worse on the golf course. I am in my mid twenties and being a former Division I soccer player, I was embarrassed that I sustained this injury playing golf. I quickly realized from Dr. Knecht that I had a fracture in my vertebrae that had healed itself and was causing this sever pain while doing any activity.
My experience at Knecht Chiropractic has been amazing from the moment you walk in the door, they make you feel at home. Everyone is always smiling and you can tell they enjoy being there and helping the people around them. The flexibility of scheduling has been incredible as well. During the Fall I am a High School Boys soccer coach and my schedule can change very frequently. Deborah has always been understanding and would always be there to work around my schedule. It has been a very comfortable experience to say the least.
While at Knecht I have learned about how my body can still perform the way I want it to. I was missing out on a lot of activities such as golf, yoga, and soccer while I was injured. After coming to Knecht I realized that I was rushing back into sports and working out too early. I realized with chiropractic care and active therapy my body could recover quicker and this was done by strengthening targeted muscles in certain areas in my lower back and hips. Working with Jeries has also been a great pleasure from the therapy to the conversation. In the first session I could tell he was just in tune with how my body was functioning and helped me loosen areas that have always been very tight and bothersome.
Since being with Knecht I feel a freedom to perform the way I want my body to, from hard workouts a couple times a week to full soccer games. I also have seen a huge improvement in my sleep; I stay asleep and wake up feeling refreshed, which gives me the energy to start my day and get through tasks that would have been a struggle before. I tell my friends, coworkers, and family that chiropractic care has helped me become the athlete and person I see myself as. The piece of mind knowing that I am taking care of myself is worth it in itself. I owe the whole Knecht Chiropractic team a huge thank you for getting me to this point. The whole experience has been amazing and I wanted to say thank you for being so kind and invested in me as a person and a patient!
As a corporate attorney, I've spent a significant part of the last 25 years sitting at my desk. For a while I noticed that I couldn't sit for long without pain, I walked with my head lunged forward and got scared one day when I saw that my right foot would move at an angle when I walked. I even had trouble driving for more than an hour and found myself sitting crooked. While I'm in good shape generally, I realized that If I didn't start taking better cared of myself at my current age, someday when I retire I'd end up looking like hunchback of Notre Dame! It was time to make my first visit to see a chiropractor. My mother always praised it, but I was skeptical.
I was nervous at first that maybe I'd have some serious problem that couldn't be fixed, but from the first visit, Dr. Knecht put me at ease. After describing my problems, he set me on a 3 month course to get my spine aligned. Honestly, I was anxious about the adjustments, the massages and the exercises, but day after day I felt really comfortable with all of it, because I felt better afterwards. The neck cracking was bizarre, couldn't believe the sounds that came from my neck, but the feeling afterwards was amazing. I started to look forward to the adjustments and even the massages which initially were quite intense (as I was really in need).
One of the best things? The entire staff is amazing! They all remember my name and even would remember what I did the week before. Deborah, Lourdes, Kristin, Jeries, Dr. B and Dr. K. I felt that they really cared about me, my needs and my well-being. They got to know me personally, not just as a paying patient, but as a real person with an individual need and personal story to tell. Each time I'd walk in I'd be greeted with a huge Deborah smile and be sent on my way to get treatment.
I didn't expect a lot of changes right away, I mean you can't cure 25 years of sitting with a neck crack, but I was a "patient" patient and persevered. After a month I was already feeling more limber. After 2 months people started to ask me If I got taller, as my posture was noticeably better and upright. After 3 months, my right leg was almost walking straight. What I've learned most is that this is not a temporary fix, but it's a lifetime step change. So many people, including me, have neglected their spine, but not anymore! Now that I realize how important it is and how much it makes you feel better, I am determined to listen to my body and maintain a regular visit to Knecht Chiropractic. More than a neighborhood doctor, it's like visiting a caring family. If anyone askes me whether a chiropractor is helpful, I will surely be there to convince them to give it a try, have patience and go to someone that cares about your well-being. Knecht Chiropractic is that kind of place.
I came in to see Dr. Knecht after I hurt my lower back at the gym. In addition to that, I have had chronic sciatic pain and neck stiffness for the past couple of years, and I really wanted to correct whatever underlying problem was causing this. After reading great reviews online, I decided to give Knecht Chiropractic a try. At my first visit, Dr. Knecht and Dr. Lorton conducted a very comprehensive intake exam, including x-rays and a discussion of my medical history. I was able to see Dr. Knecht later that day to go over my x-rays, and he thoroughly explained what my x-rays meant, how he would go about treating and correcting my issues, and how much of a time and financial commitment it would be. Needless to say, after this first visit I knew I was in good hands.
Since then, I've been coming in three times a week, and my treatment includes chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy and active massage therapy. My acute lower back pain was gone by the next day, and over the course of the next couple of weeks, I truly felt a change. I have more energy and mobility. I feel confident that I'm receiving high quality care, and that the methods used at Knecht Chiropractic are highly effective. In addition to all of this, every single person on Dr. Knecht's team is wonderful. They are all seriously good at what they do, and they're some of the friendliest people I've met since moving to Chicago.
I am so glad I found Knecht Chiropractic!
In October of 2017 I began having neck pain out of the blue. I assumed that I had slept in an odd position or had strained it at work. I let it become a major problem in my life and eventually could not turn my neck more than a few degrees in either direction. Driving to work became a dangerous task and I was not a very friendly person since I was in constant pain. I spoke with a friend's sister who is a chiropractor in Michigan and she said I should definitely see a chiropractor for their professional opinion. I finally decided that I needed to seek help and started researching chiropractors in the area.
I had many recommendations of chiropractors in the area from friends, but I decided to look into options on my own as well. I saw a facebook ad for Dr. Knecht's practice and decided to check it out. I met the staff at Dr. Knecht's office and immediately knew that they were all genuine and friendly people who were going to be focused on the best treatment for me. I found out that I had 7 subluxations from Dr. Knecht that day and we worked on a plan to help heal my neck and back.
I began my treatment immediately and began to see instant changes. Seeing Dr. B three times a week was definitely a commitment, but I could feel my body healing and knew that it was a necessary. It was a bonus that Dr. B is one of the kindest doctors I've ever met! Dr. B always took time to ask about my day and make sure I understood every part of my treatment. She answered even the most mundane questions and made sure that I was comfortable throughout my whole treatment.
Other than Dr. B, the entire staff at Knecht Chiropractic made my experience extremely pleasant. Deborah was very flexible with my ever-changing schedule and never had a problem with my constant phone calls. I would rush in to the office in a tizzy and all of the staff would make me feel very welcome and calm. Kristin and Lourdes were always very helpful in my physical therapy and showed me all of my exercises multiple times when I forgot how to do them. They also talked to me about my day and made my time in PT so much more enjoyable.
Lastly, my time with Ruby upstairs in the massage room was a very worth-while experience. Ruby was so sweet upon meeting her. I definitely underestimated the amount of muscle and power she can put into her massages! Every week I looked forward to seeing Ruby because it was a different kind of therapy that my body needed. Working my muscles was an integral part of my treatment and I'm very glad that this is included in Knecht Chiropractic's treatment plans.
I am proud to say that I "graduated" from my active treatment plan with the help of all the wonderful staff at Knecht. I now can turn my neck all the degrees that it's supposed to turn and I am a total believer in the power of chiropractic. Without Knecht I would still be like the Tin Man- unable to move my neck and with a very stiff back. For that, I cannot thank them enough for all of their attentiveness and care.
The amazing team of Knecht Chiropractic.
have been a patient at this clinic for a couple of months now. It's an amazing place! Dr. K and Dr. B are such amazing doctors. I can confirm that this clinic treats it's patients with a lot of care and integrity.
The staff is amazing too! Deborah, Kristin and Lourdes are wonderful! The are the wheels that keep this clinic moving. This clinic offers great service. I never thought that I would enjoy coming to a chiropractic office as much as I do. I walked into Knecht Chiropractic about 3 months ago with a lot of pain, to the point that is was hard for me to do ANY day to day activities. Dr. Knecht and Dr. Brittni took my pain away. They were willing to work with my schedule as long as I was willing to put in the work. If having any neck or back pain, this is the clinic for you!
I initially came in for lower back pain and leg weakness. My experience here has been incredible. You will receive thorough assessments, treatments and incredible interactions with all staff members. The staff are always welcoming and very helpful with answering all my questions that I have with regards to any symptoms and treatment.
I have learned that if you stick to a treatment plan that you will see results. Things don't heal overnight! Other benefits that I have noticed include being in less pain. My symptoms have decreased in frequency and intensity, and I am able to do things better than I did before.
If a person had similar symptoms, I would say to them, "See Dr. B!", she is an incredible clinician who is always clear on her answers and or statements with regards to symptoms and treatment. I will absolutely continue seeing Dr. B at the clinic for maintenance care. You will not be disappointed in the treatment that you receive here."
I am a 52-year-old cancer survivor in my 18th year of remission and counting! In addition, I am a history teacher by day and a gym rat by night. I officially started bodybuilding training on September 2013. After 5 years of strenuous workout sessions with a personal trainer that shows no mercy, my body started to show signs of exhaustion. Naturally, my body was developing an acute lack of skeleton-muscular balance. I could not squat correctly because my hips were out of alignment and I was putting far too much pressure on my left knee. I could not tie my shoes unless I bent very slowly and waking up from my bed with pain on my lower back every day was unbearable. I was restless.
I knew that consulting a chiropractor would help but was hesitant as to the pain and potential suffering of not been able to train at the gym.
The moment I entered the office, I was welcomed by a great medical team who showed genuine interest and complete understanding for my health problems and concerns. The doctor was abundantly clear in explaining the possibilities of treatment and assured me that he would help me in the journey of healing. Step – by – step everyone explained what the evaluation entailed. They were comprehensive in assessing all my symptoms, a battery of x rays, and other electronic devices were used to measure my range of motion.
A few days after that, Dr. Knecht sat with me and went through the entire collection of x ray images and clearly explained to me what my condition was. My first adjustment came. As with everything you do for the first time, I was nervous, but the nervousness quickly disappeared. The conversation was so engaging that I was done in no time. Pain? A bit! But far less pain than the one I felt getting out of bed. I knew then and there that I was on the right place, with the right team and on track of improving my quality of life.
Happy? The word does not even begin to describe how pleased I am. The next morning after the first adjustment, I got of bed, showered, got dressed, tied my shoes, and the pain was gone. Am I completely healed? I am on my journey and enjoying every step of the way.
You see, when you are clearly explained the many ways your spinal cord can affect your entire system, then you are able to understand the steps you need to take to heal properly. The spinal cord is the pillar in which your body sustains itself. It is the guardian of your nervous system and your immune system. It is the "Headquarters of Communication of your Body". It is where the exchange of brain messages come through the rest of the body.
It has been almost a month and a week since I started the treatments. Already, I can do the things pain was preventing me to do. My range of motion has improved tremendously. I still have a long way to go. But I am so enthusiastic about it, that I look forward every day to go and do my part to continue my healing. A visit to a chiropractor could make a difference in the way you approach your ailments as whole. You only have this temple we call a body. The very temple that houses your soul. Taking care of that temple is imperative to protect the quality of the soul.
Had I known that I was going to have so much fun taking care of my temple, I would have visited the chiropractor years ago. I am Thomas A., a newbie at chiropractic treatment. This is a fragment of my experience with pain and my chiropractor. I hope you have enjoyed it!

WREXHAM ended a run of two successive defeats by beating relegated Braintree Town 3-1 at The Racecourse.
Bryan Hughes side remain fourth in the National League, four points behind new leaders Salford City with four games to go.
The starting line-up showed four changes from the side that lost at Ebbsfleet the previous weekend.
Luke Young, Bobby Grant, Chris Holroyd and Stuart Beavon came into the side in place of James Jennings, who missed training in the week due to illness, Kemy Agustien, Jermaine McGlashan and Anthony Spyrou.
Jennings and McGlashan made the substitutes bench but Agustien and Spyrou were omitted from the squad.
Wrexham created an early chance but Grant headed wide from Kevin Roberts cross.
Hughes was forced into a 10th minute change as centre-back Jake Lawlor went off off injured following a reckless challenge by Sven Karic and replaced by Kieran Kennedy, while Grant fired across the face of goal with another chance after being played in by Beavon.
But Wrexham took the lead after 18 minutes.
Shaun Pearson laid the ball off to Grant in the area and he found the back of the net despite the best efforts of goalkeeper Ben Killip for his second Reds goal.
Akil Wright saw a deflected effort blocked by Killip as Wrexham attempted to build on their lead but Braintree equalised four minutes before the break following poor defending.
Wrexham failed to deal with Karic's long throw and Lainton could have done better before Korry Henry smashed the ball home from close range.
The Reds regrouped and Pearson's effort was saved on the line by Killip while the Reds were unable to convert following a goalmouth scramble late in the first half.
Wright fired wide from Beavon's pass less than 30 seconds after the restart and although Rob Atkinson struck the post at the other end, he was in an offside position.
Holroyd saw a shot deflected behind for a corner as the action switched back to the other end and Pearson's header also went wide following the intervention of a defender.
Another Grant strike deflected wide but Wrexham reclaimed the lead following the resulting corner in the 60th minute.
Young sent in the flag-kick and Pearson scored with a powerful header.
It got even better in the 67th minute as Wrexham took a 3-1 lead.
Young sent in a free-kick and Wright found the net with a back post header.
Jason Oswell replaced Beavon in Wrexham's second change and almost opened his account for Wrexham but the striker's header was parried on the line by Killip.
Jennings replaced Grant in the final change five minutes from time and Holroyd had an injury time goal ruled out for offside but Wrexham had already done enough.
Wrexham (4-3-3): Lainton; Roberts, Lawlor (Kennedy 10), Pearson, Pearson, Carrington; Rutherford, Young, Wright; Grant (Jennings 85), Beavon (Oswell 72), Holroyd. Subs not used: Dibble, McGlashan.
Braintree Town (4-1-2-3): Killip; Eleftheriou, Matsuzaka (Borg 46), Aktinson, Karic; Lyons-Foster; Richards, Sagaf (Smith 90); Eyoma, Henry, Allen (Cerlli 66). Subs not used: Temple, Eze.
Attendance: 4,221 (22 from Braintree).

Questions Remain In Pinal County As Maricopa County Looks Toward Canvassing Election Results
Maricopa County has reported that more than 855,000 of its nearly 2.5 million voters cast ballots in the Aug. 2, 2022 Primary Election. Roughly 14,000 of those ballots were still in the pre-tabulation process as of Saturday, including 7,500 which were awaiting curing by voters no later than 5 p.m. on Aug. 9.
On Saturday, representatives of the political parties in Maricopa County completed a state-mandated hand count audit of four contests (including governor and U.S. senator) on 5,000 early ballots as well as ballots cast at five randomly selected voting centers.
The hand count audit for the 2022 Primary Election is complete. The hand count boards confirmed the results match the tabulation equipment! https://t.co/JX4KWmiGyu
— Maricopa County Elections Department (@MaricopaVote) August 7, 2022
With the hand count finished, there should be no problem completing the canvass of Maricopa County's election results by the Aug. 12 statutory deadline. Canvassing is the act of officially certifying the election results, and is expected to be uneventful for the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
The same cannot be said for Pinal County, which fired its Elections Director within hours of the polls closing. There is a possibility that legal action stemming from multiple problems could keep Pinal County's board of supervisors from being able to do its canvass by the deadline.
As AZ Free News previously reported, Pinal County administers municipal elections for its 11 incorporated cities and towns. Due to "human error," roughly 63,000 of the county's 275,000 registered voters received incorrect early voting ballots last month.
Elections Director David Frisk accepted responsibility for the fact thousands of voters in Apache Junction, Casa Grande, Eloy, Mammoth, Maricopa, Queen Creek, and Superior received ballots without local races listed. Several thousand other voters who lived in unincorporated communities were incorrectly sent ballots which listing municipal races they were not eligible to vote in.
(Parts of Apache Junction and Queen Creek are in Maricopa County which reported no problems getting the correct ballots to its voters.)
Frisk and Pinal County officials assured the public the mistake could be resolved by not counting votes in mayor and council races if cast by non-municipal residents. The county then sent out supplemental ballots to affected municipal residents to use in additional to their original ballot which included federal, state, and legislative contests.
Yet just when county officials thought they had the early ballot snafu handled, reports began circulating the morning of Election Day that two of Pinal County's 90+ polling stations did not open at 6 a.m. as required.
Those two locations were finally opened by 10 a.m., but by then Frisk and his staff were overwhelmed with reports that more than two dozen polling stations ran out of preprinted ballots. The ballot supply was also a responsibility which fell on Frisk, who was hired by the board of supervisors earlier this year with no experience in Arizona election laws or procedures
As Frisk was being fired, Pinal County Recorder Virginia Ross quit her elected position on Thursday and accepted an appointment as Elections Director, a responsibility she previously had as Recorder from 2013 to 2017 before a new Elections Director position was created going into the 2018 election cycle.
Pinal County can announce that David Frisk is no longer in the position of Elections Director and is no longer employed by Pinal County.
Virginia Ross is the County's new Elections Director, having resigned her role as County Recorder this morning. 1/2
— Pinal County – Government 🌵 (@PinalCounty) August 4, 2022
Ross's shuffling of jobs created a vacancy in the elected office of County Recorder, which the county board of supervisors filled Friday by appointing Deputy County Recorder Dana Lewis to serve out Ross' term through the end of 2024. Lewis previously worked in the Elections Department before Frisk was hired.
County officials then regrouped with their new leadership and announced plans to update elections results every night around 7:30 p.m. "including over the weekend" until all valid ballots were tabulated. And in a major announcement, the county publicly confirmed rumors of an ongoing problem in trying to process about 10,000 early ballots.
The problem also prevented a large number of voters from being able to track their ballot's status online. But just hours after taking over their new roles, Ross and Lewis were able to fix the problem with assistance from the Pinal County IT team so those affected ballots could get tabulated.

The only other reported Election Day problem came out of Cochise County, where a few dozen people claimed that when they signed in to vote they were listed as previously signing in.
The problem appears to stem from the fact the poll workers and election observers signed in during a recent training session to understand how the system worked. The voting database was not purged by the Elections Department staff before official in-person voting began.
Some voters reportedly were given provisional ballots to cast while others were allowed to vote once the error was realized.

Because you needed this in your life and the carnival season is upon us and because wining (without an "h") is totally a feminist act. And some of allyuh need to be schooled in some classics.
Do note: for the purposes of my personal analysis, a feminist calypso or soca song can be feminist regardless of whether the performer has explicitly called themselves feminist. So, no, Destra may or may not consider herself feminist (I have no idea about that) but that doesn't prevent a feminist lens from being applied to her work.
I'm also aware that male songwriters have penned some classics for women, but unless we are going to completely erase the agency of the women performers who bring the songs to life, then that too, doesn't detract from meaning and implications. All shared art: musical, written and otherwise, is liable to interpretation, which may or may not collude with the artists' agenda. Additionally, all songs sung by a woman aren't implicitly feminist just because a woman sings it. Case in point: Patrice's "Give Him (Bam Bam)." Yeah, no eh.
Anyhow, a soca or calypso song may be feminist if it advocates for women's autonomy and agency, interrogates and or celebrates women's sexual agency (in soca and calypso, this is often symbolised by the free movement of and "ownership" of the bam bam as well as wining); reinscribes social mores, or advocates for or examines gender (in)equality, or complicates how we think about gender or gender roles in society. Or just sounds good to the feminist ear. Basically, if feminists can flex out to it and not cringe inwardly, then we might be on to something.
Also, because Singing Sandra was part of The United Sisters, the first ever all-woman kaiso soca group and she's a legend!
Saddle up, fellas! And ladies.
"Obsessive Winers." Denise, Alison and Destra. Soca Queen Triad who doh deal with outta timers. That is all.
Calypso Rose's version of a classic, "Rum and Coca-Cola." She is a Tobagonian by birth from the sister isle and the first woman to ever win a Road March title!

Bridges, Roberts lead Georgia past Hampton 73-54

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Braelen Bridges had 21 points and 16 rebounds, Terry Roberts added 16 points, and Georgia defeated Hampton 73-54 on Wednesday night.

More information comes out on Manafort, Page, Flynn connections with Russia
After the infamous Steele dossier came out, Paul Manafort reached out to Team Trump
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2017/05/25/more-information-comes-out-on-manafort-page-flynn-connections-with-russia/

More information is coming out about connections between President Donald Trump's campaign team and the Russian government.
Roughly a week before Trump was inaugurated, former campaign manager Paul Manafort contacted Trump's chief of staff Reince Priebus in order to cast aspersions on a controversial dossier compiled by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele, according to a report by Politico. Although he had kept in touch with the Trump team in the five months since he resigned due to reports of his connections with the Putin-associated politicians in Eastern Europe, and is reported to have talked to Trump himself at least twice during that period, those conversations had been either political or personal in nature.

By contrast, Manafort's conversation with Priebus is reported to have focused on the Russia controversy.
In related news, The New York Times reported that American spies learned last summer that senior Russian intelligence and political officials were trying to figure out how to shape Trump's views on Russia using Manafort and Michael Flynn, who was at that time an adviser to Trump and would serve as his national security adviser before resigning in disgrace in February.
The FBI is also investigating Carter Page, who was picked up by the Trump campaign in early 2016, according to a report by The Washington Post. When he was hired by the Trump campaign the FBI already suspected he may have been a Russian agent, and they are now investigating whether Page may have colluded with the Russian government to interfere with the outcome of the 2016 election.

Warriors' Steph Curry discusses Klay Thompson's injury
Justin Grasso | December 15, 2020 November 24, 2020
The Splash Brothers haven't appeared on a court together since the 2018-2019 playoff run. As the Golden State Warriors were gunning for another championship, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Kevin Durant all fell short to the Toronto Raptors as injuries took over.
During the 2019 NBA Finals, Klay Thompson tore his ACL. As expected, the veteran guard was set to miss the entire 2019-2020 NBA season. For the most part, the Warriors were without Thompson and Curry last season as both stars dealt with a lot of healing from unfortunate injuries.
The Warriors placed last in the Western Conference and won the second-overall pick in the lottery. With an opportunity to draft Memphis' James Wiseman, the Warriors were excited to get the band back together with new additions heading into the 2020-2021 NBA season.
But Klay Thompson once again suffered an unfortunate setback.
Last Wednesday just hours before the 2020 NBA Draft, Thompson was partaking in a workout. Lately, the veteran guard has been past the rehab phase and ramping up action to get ready for training camp next month.
During his workout, the Warriors star suffered a lower-body injury, which made it hard for Thompson to put any weight on that side of his body. People in the gym with him at the time had nothing promising to report. As it turns out, Thompson was dealing with a torn Achilles, which will force him to miss his second-straight season in 2020-2021.
"You feel for a guy who has worked so hard to get back on the court two-three weeks out of [training camp], and something like that happens," Curry said, according to The Undefeated. "You need to have a big-picture mentality when something like this happens. It's easier said than done going through a lot of rehab, but there is a lot of time left in his career. We're going to be there through it all."

Global insurance M&A at a four-year high
Press Releases 17 February 2020 17 February 2020
Clyde & Co releases the latest edition of the firm's annual Insurance Growth Report
The volume of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the insurance sector increased 10% in 2019 with 419 deals completed worldwide, up from 382 in 2018. Activity was driven by an exceptionally strong first half of the year, led by a spike in deals in Europe that had been put on hold during Brexit preparations. Although M&A dropped back in the second half of the year, activity globally remained buoyant compared to the levels of recent years, according to Balancing risk and reward, the latest edition of global law firm Clyde & Co's insurance growth report, released today.
The Americas continued to be the most active region (182 deals in 2019), down slightly from 189 in 2018, with activity balanced between the first and second halves of the year (93 and 89 transactions respectively). Europe saw the biggest year-on-year increase with 155 deals (88 in the first half and 67 in the second), up from 122 in 2018. Asia Pacific followed a similar pattern of annual gains (17% overall to 69 deals), with the larger number of deals coming in H1 2019. The Middle East and Africa saw rises throughout the year, albeit from a low base.
Ivor Edwards, European Head of Clyde & Co's Corporate Insurance Group, says: "M&A has surged in the last 12 months. While insurers have had some reasons for cheer in the past year, with reduced natural catastrophe losses and price rises taking hold across a range of classes of business, investment returns are still flat. This makes deal making a trusted route to growth and a means of satisfying shareholders. Although deal makers in some markets may adopt a more cautious approach, the quick start to 2020 in certain markets suggests there's more to come."
Market remediation generating opportunities
M&A will be an area of focus as capacity is released following ongoing reviews by re/insurers of classes they will continue to underwrite and of where they will withdraw – this released capacity can be deployed elsewhere. At the same time, market remediation has led to more businesses being placed into run-off.
Vikram Sidhu, Clyde & Co Partner in New York, says: "Activity in the run-off market is expected to pick up further in markets across the world. In the US, insurers will likely take further steps to explore divesting legacy books of insurance business through two recently enacted restructuring mechanisms known as Insurance Business Transfers and corporate divisions, which mechanisms several states have enacted into their laws in recent years. We expect these new tools for legacy business to lead to burst of new deal activity later this year and beyond."
Technology is now baked-in to M&A
2019 was the year that technology cemented itself as the most important emerging driver in every region of the world. The last 12 months have seen investments including USD 250 million from Munich Re into Next Insurance, a Californian start-up offering tailored, digital insurance solutions to small and medium-sized enterprises; USD 90 million into insurtech Singapore Life from Japan's Sumitomo Life; and MS Amlin's purchase of an undisclosed stake in Envelop Risk, a Bermudian start-up that provides artificial intelligence-driven cyber risk modelling.
Joyce Chan, a Clyde & Co Partner in Hong Kong, says: "Technology is now a key consideration in any deal. Potential buyers are thinking how they can improve existing processes as well as develop new ones. They will be looking at targets which can deliver technological benefits at the back end – in terms of greater efficiencies – and enhance their customer reach and offering in the market. With many insurtech start-ups now reaching the point of maturity where their business models are proven, we expect a new wave of investment from carriers through acquisition, joint venture or partnership in the coming year."
Deals of all sizes in scope
Mega-deals valued in excess of USD 1 billion continue to be a feature of the market with 20 transactions of this size in 2019, spread across all regions. Enhanced distribution capability was a key driver of some of the biggest, including Prudential's USD 3.5 billion acquisition of Assurance IQ, a direct-to-consumer platform, and FWD Group's USD 3.0 billion deal for Thailand's SCB Life Assurance, which included a significant 15-year bancassurance agreement.
Dusseldorf-based Clyde & Co Counsel Kathrin Feldmann says: "The advantages of the 'bigger is better' philosophy remain hard to dispute. M&A can deliver increased scale and reach, access to new customers and markets, and a wider pool of customer data, which is an increasingly valuable commodity. M&A at the top end of the market will continue but may be harder to get over the line due to a shrinking pool of targets and challenges in reaching agreement on price. Meanwhile, many re/insurers are starting to take a more considered view of M&A, aiming for smaller, more selected targets that add discrete value to their operations."
Lull in M&A will pass as uncertainty clears
Although the market is hardening, it is not yet at the point where it will have a significant balance sheet impact – so re/insurance businesses will continue to look at transactions to deliver growth. We expect M&A activity in the first half of 2020 to maintain the recent trend level at just under 200 deals worldwide.
Ivor Edwards says: "A number of regional factors will impact M&A in 2020. The US presidential election may push some deal-makers to complete transactions ahead of a possible change in administration, while others will plans on hold until uncertainty over the result is resolved. Europe should see a return to business as usual now Brexit preparations are mainly completed but as the details of the future trading relationship between the UK and the EU remain unclear, this may spur transactions during the transition period. In Asia-Pacific the fundamentals are in place for continued M&A, with the caveat that the length and the severity of the Coronavirus outbreak has the potential to deter potential investors and damage insurers' balance sheets."

I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your dedication to our HSV Audubon Bluebird Program, whether you served as a monitor or backup monitor. This couldn't happen without you.
Another Bluebird season has come to an end in Hot Springs Village. It wasn't a great year, but on the other hand it wasn't an awful year either.
gnat infestation at Cooks Lake. This is definitely a reflection on our monitors and their diligent use of pure vanilla in and around the nest boxes.
I have told the monitors it was not necessary to remove the nests of the chickadees, nuthatches and titmice. I may reconsider that position for 2019.
Early in the spring John Baal, Dale Barnard, Kurt Moeck, and Vic Prislipsky helped replace/move nearly 40 nesting boxes and 20 plus baffles. A big shout out of thanks to them. Thanks also to Adolph Juarez for keeping us well supplied with boxes.
I want to especially thank Jerry and Kathy Barnoske (since 2005) and Randy and Brenda Johnson (since 2008) who have monitored the back nine of the Granada Golf Course and are unable to return in 2019. The Bluebird monitoring program is successful mainly because of members like them.
There will be monitor openings next year so please think about volunteering to experience nature at its finest.
Please refer to the attached supplemental data report for more details. This report lists the HSV Audubon bluebird box locations on each of our 9 golf courses, Woodlands/Grove Park, the Coronado Center and the respective results for 2018.

B2B Metavers: companies, wait no more!
January 13, 2023 by xinyazhounewasia.com
Metaverse, and more specifically B2B Metaverserepresents the evolution of the internet and social networks towards a new generation of enabling tools build a bridge between the physical and digital worlds. Thanks to virtual reality and artificial intelligence, creation has become possible new innovative, highly interactive and immersive customer experiences. A necessary transformation from the arrival of Generation Z in the world of work: born with the Internet, this generation has always integrated it into their lives, both to develop their knowledge and to sharpen their decisions.
B2B Metaverse, a key element for business development
This evolution to a B2B Metaverse clearly paves the way to new business development tools and new sales channels. But it goes beyond: optimizing customer experiences and data collectionallows itimproving products and services and to provide one better customization. In addition, B2B Metaverse brings a the most important "sustainability" factor. physical exhibitions, travel and all other means used so far by companies to develop their business; an aspect to which Generation Z, anxious to make our world greener, is very sensitive. Therefore, the B2B Metaverse is a key element for companies to develop and even survive in the future.
But what are the challenges of getting started in the B2B Metaverse? And where to start: participating in an existing Metaverse? Create your own B2B Metaverse? Two?
Worst decision: do nothing!
Several hundred international groups (HSBC, Carrefour, Adidas, Samsung, etc.) have already invested in Metavers by buying land in Sandbox or Decentraland games. Of course, these are B2C-oriented approaches, but it clearly shows the growing appeal of the metaverse and how companies can benefit from it.
In the case of B2B companies, which basically aim to interact with professionals and companies that correspond to their profile and their activity, it will be more about buying stands and spaces for present solutions and services, identify and collaborate with partners, organize events, trainings… within a Metaverse dedicated to professionals.
There are already a large number of them: Microsoftfor example, presents its B2B Metaverse as an extension of Teams ; Engage the XR, a specialist in virtual reality, opens its business campus for meetings and events and offers businesses the opportunity to build their own MetaWorld; or even Metaverse i Mex, a comprehensive platform powered by artificial intelligence that allows companies to choose the most suitable solution, from simply standing up to creating their own B2B Metaverse. And many other solutions are available in the market.
Starting gently
It is therefore easy to get a first-hand experience to discover how Metavers B2B works. The first step can be, for a few euros per month, to rent a customizable stand in a B2B metaverse and organize events and meetings there. A good way to get to know this universe: the conditions and resources needed to present products or services there, the impact on your organization, the level of customization required and how to use it to collaborate with other companies.. .So many pieces of information that will make it possible to build a relevant strategy and set its roadmap.
The first steps of B2B Metavers herald a turmoil that will soon take over the market, just as the Internet did in the early 2000s. With it emerges new ways of interacting, finding partners and enjoying new experiences and engaging customer journeys. Its progress is extremely rapid; Therefore, companies should participate in it as soon as possible in order to learn about it and understand it. An inevitable decision not to be left behind and to maintain its competitiveness in the market: don't miss the boat!

Celeste Imperio is a famous Chinese restaurant in El Salvador. It was founded in 1994 and served as one of the pillars of modern Chinese food in this small Central American country. The most attractive characteristic of this Chinese restaurant is the Chinese style façade, which resembles those of ancient Chinese palaces. To date, this is the only Chinese style façade in El Salvador. Famous dishes from this restaurant are Chow Mein, Cantonese style rice, Chop Suey and fried wantan. The flavour and style of many of the dishes were modified to suit the taste buds of Salvadorans.

Origins

Celeste Imperio was founded in 1994. The cooking style of Celeste Imperio is based on the Cantonese style tradition from the small town Jiu Jiang (九江) in Guangdong province. However, seeing the need of making Chinese food appealing to Salvadorans, the restaurant modified some of their cooking styles, naming it Chinese-Salvadoran. Although there are a few modifications, the dishes still have the distinctive taste of the Cantonese style cooking. Many Salvadorans were attracted to the taste of this new hybrid cooking style and made Celeste Imperio their favourite place for a family dinner or lunch.

Working as a sub-consultant, Meliora designed the new catenary system to support track modifications for the relocated Little Italy – University Circle Rapid Station. Located at Mayfield Road and East 119th Street, the new station is a short walk to the Uptown residential retail development and the new home of the Museum of Contemporary Art.
To make room for the new station, the existing track alignment was modified by spreading the tracks to provide room for the new center platforms. The catenary structures were located to accommodate the new platforms and to allow catenary construction to proceed during a two week outage.
Meliora provided design and construction documents for catenary hardware, profiles/hangers, wiring plans, and staging.


I want to share something that happened yesterday and is still unfolding as I am writing this.
At 10 in the morning, I posted a call for writers in two Facebook groups.
I'll spare you the details, but the main point is that I was looking for contributing writers for our online magazines. The two posts were slightly different; tailored specifically to each group.
I opened my post by explaining the relevance of the topics for our tech magazine and asked whether someone was interested in writing for us. My strategy was to be humble and crystal clear; I said their language was advanced and difficult to understand (for the average reader), and that I needed someone skilled enough to write about complex topics in an easy-to-comprehend way.
12 hours later I had 1 like, 0 comments.
It is now 24 hours later, the post has been removed and I may or may not have been kicked out of the group. Oops.
…now, before you say anything, all posts on that page receive admin-approval before getting published, so I was not in breach of any guidelines nor did I include any links or other promotional material.
On top of the 40 comments, I also received direct messages on Facebook and had several people contact me on LinkedIn regarding the magazines.
In total, I received around 50 enquiries from that one post, an amazing result considering it was 100% organic!
The phrase community building has been used so frequently in the past couple of years, it has definitely lost some of its power. I bet we could all name at least one person trying to 'build a community' around themselves or their business (not to mention all the "make-money-from-home" schemes).
But the Sydney Startups group really stood out to me as a community with great engagement. I was scrolling through the posts from the last couple of weeks and it was full of friendly and helpful conversation, which is exactly what makes these communities so valuable.
Being able to tap into this group proved incredibly effective both for us and the startup founders in the group; we got to talk to our target audience and, in return, they were presented with a relevant opportunity.
Community allows for a wider form of collaboration – where both brands and individuals can learn from each other.
The determining factor for the success, and failure, of this recruitment attempt, was no doubt relevance. The members of Sydney Startups were excited about the opportunity to tell their story and to receive some exposure for their newly founded businesses. It makes sense to target them as it is relevant for their journey to raise awareness of their products or services.
My mistake was assuming that people who like to discuss advanced technology would be equally interested in writing about it for a random magazine. My own bias (being in PR and digital marketing) made me overestimate how eager people would be to put their name on a page online. I had to take a step back and realise that not everyone is looking for exposure, or have a website they want to promote.
Needless to say, the technology-group post was a flop but a great reminder that even a whopping 20k members mean nothing if your content is irrelevant.

"Learning History in Nursery School"
Posted on October 1, 2007 • Words by Patrick Carrington	• Art by Anya Ermak
Download "Learning History in Nursery School"
Did the visual artist refract any element of the poem that made you see the poem differently?
Poet Patrick Carrington: She did. She made me realize that the poem was not only about my son, but also about me. When I wrote it, he was the only one I had in mind. I had almost removed myself from it. Anya's rendering of the two of us sitting together with umbrellas sent me back to the text, and there I was, as close to him as the artist pictured. It also reminded me that he's taught me as much as I've taught him. I see that in Anya's art, that even when he was a boy, we were equals.
In what sense did the poem first present itself as a collaboration with a visual medium? Did it come to you first as image? As an idea? Music? Narrative?
Artist Anya Ermak-Bower: It came as a memory.
What did you think an artist would pick up on from your poem?
Poet Patrick Carrington: Quite a few images ran through my mind. Puddles on city streets, rainbows and clock towers, until I made the decision to stop imagining, to wait and see. To let the artist do what she does best. I couldn't be happier with the vision she came up with. It matches the poem like a twin.
What inspired you to "dibs" this poem?
Artist Anya Ermak-Bower: It's been raining a lot the past few weeks here. As mother to a three-and-a-half year old boy—a boy who loves his puddle boots and puddles—the poem and recent climate here have reminded me of being a child in rainy Lithuania, and of a child's ability to enjoy the moment, regardless of the weather.
What surprised you about this collaborative piece?
Poet Patrick Carrington: How much I enjoyed my collaborator's visual interpretation. I admit that I have never been much of a fan of illustrated poetry. I've always preferred to let words paint their own picture. But the grace of Anya's vision, and those of many other Broadsided artists, have made me seriously reevaluate that prejudice. It's opened my eyes to new light.
Artist Anya Ermak-Bower: I was surprised by the immediacy with which I felt moved and possessed by the work. I saw the picture I needed to make and felt like it was imperative that I respond to the work with my art.
If the broadside collaboration were a plant, what would it be?
Artist Anya Ermak-Bower: It's full-on autumn in Anchorage and the choke cherries have become ripe. The changing leaves and the cherries together—that's true collaboration! (Choke cherries make a Russian's heart go pitter-patter with excitement, though I know that Americans don't typically enjoy them the way we do.)
If this poem were a vehicle, what would it be?
Artist Anya Ermak-Bower: Ummmmmm…should I say something here about alternative fuels?
Poet Patrick Carrington: I've read a couple of poetry collections recently that have stayed with me in a haunting way. Tony Hoagland's What Narcissism Means to Me, Bob Hicok's The Legend of Light. I have The Eye Like a Strange Balloon by Mary Jo Bang, Broadsided's September poet, sitting on top of my "to-read" pile.
Artist Anya Ermak-Bower: The Birth Partner by Penny Simkin. It's all about birth. I'm pregnant with our second child!
Seen any good art exhibits lately?
Poet Patrick Carrington: I'm fortunate enough to be in reasonable driving distance of both New York City and Philadelphia. So yes, I have all manner of great art there for me any time I wish, and I try to take advantage of it. I recently saw an exhibit on Pop Art and Culture at The Philly Museum of Art, and there's one right now on Abstract Impressionism, at The Met in NYC, that I'll be taking in between now and Thanksgiving.
Artist Anya Ermak-Bower: The Anchorage Museum of History and Art had an open house last weekend and there was a photo exhibit detailing an Inupiat whale hunt by Bill Hess.

The Keystone Centre has entered into a 10-year partnership with Centerplate, granting the global hospitality company exclusivity for all catering, food and beverage services. Craig Vidal, district manager of Centerplate, said they have come to the table with numerous suggestions for venue enhancement improvements, which will evolve over time. "This is a natural fit for us as an extension of our hospitality services with the province of Manitoba," Vidal said, noting they now serve Bell MTS Place and the Burton Cummings Theatre in Winnipeg, in addition to the Keystone Centre.
