Hiring a property manager will save you the time and hassle of managing those rental properties or units yourself, so you can focus on the more rewarding aspects of your life without having to be concerned with the day-to-day tasks that can come with managing rentals.
If you want to continue building wealth in real estate then you want to hire a property manager sooner rather than later, since a property manager will take the "heavy lifting" off your shoulders and ensure that your rentals are running efficiently while you enjoy passive income from them.
Last of all, but most important, hiring a property management company will help you to live your life on your terms without a wide variety of extra responsibilities that can come with managing a rental property.

Life With Myeloma Series
About Myeloma
Is Sugar Part of a Myeloma-Friendly Diet?
Topics include: Understanding
What do the experts say about a myeloma patient's sugar intake? Should it be avoided altogether? Myeloma experts, Tiffany Richards and Dr. Robert Orlowski from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, discuss what dietary changes are recommended to live well with a myeloma condition and how treatments interact with certain foods. Watch now to find out more.
Produced by Patient Power in partnership with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. We thank AbbVie Inc. and Takeda Oncology for their support.

Jack Aiello:
What dietary changes should I make to help me deal with myeloma and such?"
Tiffany Richards:
I usually tell patients, "Just follow a good diet. Everything in moderation." I don't usually tell patients to totally avoid sugar, because I think that's an impossible task. I don't know. For me, at least, I would never be able to do that. But everything is in moderation. So just like what type of diet your doctor would've been telling you to follow prior to your diagnosis, to do that. Try to minimize your weight gain as much as you can, eating fresh fruits and vegetables. And just eating a healthy, good diet is really, really important.
So kind of doing the same whether you had myeloma or not?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. That's what I say to people. Any differences? Same? There's nothing that's been said, "This diet is a benefit or not." We hear things though about green tea, grapefruit juice. Dr. Orlowski, can you say anything more about what's specifically about those that might make a difference in my treatment?
Dr. Orlowski:
Sure. One thing on the diet front is patients sometimes come and say, "Should I avoid sugar all together?"
And as Tiffany mentioned, it's very tough to do. And there's some rationale to it, because cancer relies on sugar for energy. But even if you were able to completely eliminate sugar, your brain and kidney in particular are dependent on sugar for energy. So, you would still have your body converting things like fat and protein into sugar anyway. So low levels of sugar intake are good. But you don't have to avoid it all together. You mentioned green tea and vitamin C, for example. Those are two things that—at least in the laboratory—have been shown to interact with bortezomib (Velcade) and inhibit its activity against myeloma in the laboratory.
We don't know whether that happens in patients or not. But there's no reason to take the chance. And so, if you really love lots of vitamin C or lots of green tea, I usually recommend it's okay to do it.
But definitely probably not on the days that you're going to get your bortezomib therapy. And because carfilzomib (Kyprolis) is a proteasome inhibitor with a different chemistry, we don't have the same concerns. Because you wouldn't have that same chemical interaction.
And Ninlaro?
Ninlaro or ixazomib also has a boronic acid like bortezomib. So, it theoretically would also interact with vitamin C and with EGCG as the component in green tea that maybe could inactivate it. Especially if you take them by mouth at the same time and then they're all mixing in there together. So I would definitely avoid doing green tea or vitamin C on the days that you're taking the ixazomib.
Multiple Myeloma-Friendly Dieting: Sifting Through Science vs. Hype Julie Lanford, MPH, RD, CSO, LDN Danny Parker Andrew Schorr
Is there a diet myeloma patients should adhere to? Julie Lanford, a registered dietitian, and Danny Parker, a myeloma survivor and lifestyle columnist, weigh in.

The Many Futures of Work: Restoring the Middle
Northwestern Memorial Medical Center
Businesses grow and prosper by retaining and reinvesting in the productive capabilities of workers who can transform ideas into innovative goods and services. These workers act collectively and learn cumulatively; they effectively form the middle tiers of innovative business.

Jobs Now: How King's Full Employment Vision Can Defeat Trumpism
Congressional Black Caucus Foundation
Walter E. Washington Convention Center
801 Mt. Vernon Place NW
CEPR's Dean Baker spoke on a panel "Jobs Now: How King's Full Employment Vision Can Defeat Trumpism" at the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference. This event was at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. For more information about the conference, please visit the conference website.
Four decades ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote that "our demonstration [is] a campaign for jobs and income because we feel that the economic question is the most crucial that black people, and poor people generally, are confronting." Polling has repeatedly affirmed that African-Americans see the lack of equal employment opportunities as the single most important issue facing the community, with black unemployment rates consistently double the rates for whites. This panel will examine strategies for developing a movement for a full employment society that will address disparities in employment and ensure that every person, regardless of their race or ethnicity, can find a family-sustaining job.
'La quiebra de los expertos', conferencia de Mark Weisbrot
El codirector del centro de investigación de Economía y políticas públicas en Washington D. C., Mark Weisbrot, pronunciará el próximo jueves 14 de septiembre una conferencia en el marco de la celebración de los 30 años de Barcelona Activa. La charla -que comenzará a las 18.30- lleva por título La quiebra de los expertos y se presenta en forma de diálogo con la socióloga y ex concejal de Barcelona Marina Subirats.
Weisbrot ha destacado por sus reflexiones sobre los efectos de lo que él llama "el asalto neoliberal", es decir, un conjunto de políticas públicas desarrolladas por el Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) o el Banco Central Europeo (BCE), que han llevado a la miseria a millones de personas.
El ciclo de conferencias Reflexiones para una nueva política económica local tiene por objeto dialogar sobre las transformaciones sociales que han impactado en la economía, el mundo del trabajo y la ciudadanía en las últimas tres décadas. El encargado de inaugurarlo fue Guy Standing, creador del concepto de la nueva clase social del precariado y defensor de la necesidad de garantizar una renta básica universal.
La conferencia tendrá lugar en la sala Emprèn del Centro para la Iniciativa Emprendedora de Glòries a las 18.30. Para asistir, es necesario inscripción previa por correo electrónico a cicle30anys[at]barcelonactiva.cat o por teléfono al 934 019 633.
How Wall Street Fees Endanger Worker Retirement Security and What We Can Do About It

Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor
640 Massachusetts Ave, NW, Room C228
Join us for a luncheon discussion of a groundbreaking report from the American Federation of Teachers. The Big Squeeze reveals that workers stand to gain billions if pensions funds slash fees paid to Wall Street fund managers who invest in risky assets like hedge funds and private equity. The report quantifies the massive wealth transfer from workers to Wall Street that has endangered Americans' retirement security and crushed state budgets — and proposes steps that unions, pension funds, and legislators can take to reverse the trend.

NAFTA 101 Briefing Series: Agriculture and Migration, What Was Promised, What Was Delivered, and How We Can Do Better With NAFTA-Renegotiations
Representative Marcy Kaptur
50 Independence Ave.
Nearly a quarter century has passed since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was initially negotiated. Its proponents promised it would lead to job creation and increased living standards for workers in all three countries. Yet, some of the most adversely impacted communities are small farmers. Rural flight and increased food insecurities have resulted, as industrial agriculture has taken over production chains often leading to increased migration as local economies falter.
With the Administration's recent notice to Congress of its intent to renegotiate NAFTA, we see an opportunity. Renegotiating NAFTA offers the possibility to address food insecurity, remedy the incentive that drives rural dislocation, and fix other problems in the agriculture sector caused by NAFTA.

The Trade in Services Agreement's Threat to Democracy
11:30:00 PM - 01:00:00 AM
Trade Justice Alliance
Webinar, RSVP here
Have you heard of TiSA? The Trade in Services Agreement or TiSA, is the largest multilateral trade deal ever negotiated, and currently includes 50 countries. TiSA would set the rules for "services" that the text defines so broadly as to encompass almost all areas of our lives. TiSA would apply to approximately 80 percent of the global economy, yet the massive, corporate-designed agreement has been negotiated completely behind closed doors, without public input. Without WikiLeaks, we would know very little.*
TiSA would inhibit regulation of the very banks that brought down the global economy, destroy online privacy and data protection, and would legally codify global privatization of the commons, including of access to clean water, public education, and quality health care. TiSA would entrench neoliberal dirty energy projects like fracking and tar sands development at the expense of renewables like solar and wind power.
Despite President Trump's proclaimed opposition to the TPP, and his checkered messaging around NAFTA, he has yet to say one word about TiSA, which has further-reaching implications. TiSA is now the biggest "free trade" deal we've never heard about, which is why Trade Justice Alliance is hosting two prestigious speakers on the topic:

2017 Milton Derber Lecture: Domestic Outsourcing, Rent Seeking, and Increasing Inequality
School of Labor and Employment Relations, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
504 E. Armory Avenue
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's School of Labor and Employment Relations will host Dr. Eileen Appelbaum as featured speaker for the 2017 Milton Derber Lecture.
Appelbaum's talk, "Domestic Outsourcing, Rent Seeking, and Increasing Inequality," will address the increase in domestic outsourcing and the rise in networked forms of production as an important mechanism linking increasing rents and the rising earnings inequality among workers with similar skills. Production networks have become more prominent over the past three-and-a-half decades as firms have reorganized production processes to focus on maximizing shareholder value. This has multiplied the contractual relationships among producers and suppliers, conferring on them legal claims to the profit and rents produced by the network that reflect interfirm power relations. Firms with the greatest clout are able to claim the largest share of the rents and may share them with employees. The weakest organizations in a production network struggle to remain viable, and the wages of their workers take the largest hit.
The Annual Milton Derber Lecture was instituted in 1990 to honor Professor Emeritus Milton Derber and serve as a focal point for the intellectual enrichment for the school, its faculty and its students, as well as for the university community. Nationally known experts in a variety of employment relations subject areas are featured in this event, which is open to the public.

Ensuring Good Jobs for All in the Trump Era
Congressman John Conyers Jr., Co-Chair of the Congressional Full Employment Caucus, invites you to a briefing with leading economic experts to discuss how progressive advocates for jobs and wages should approach the issue during the Trump administration. Experts will review the basics of full employment, how it is achieved, why it is important for wage growth, benefits, unionization rates, and society at large. They will review the Federal Reserve System's legal requirement to seek "maximum employment" as well as fiscal policies that can ensure full employment. Other topics will include: addressing the racial gap in unemployment rates and wages, proven strategies to increase our manufacturing sector, and much more. There will be a question and answer period following the discussion.

Dean Baker discusses his new book, "Rigged: How Globalization and the Rules of the Modern Economy Were Structured to Make the Rich Richer"
Busboys and Poets - 5th & K
1025 5th St. NW, Washington, District of Columbia 20001
There has been an enormous upward redistribution of income in the United States in the last four decades. In his most recent book, Dean Baker shows that this upward redistribution was not the result of globalization and the natural workings of the market. Rather, it was the result of conscious policies that were designed to put downward pressure on the wages of ordinary workers while protecting and enhancing the incomes of those at the top. Join us at Busboys & Poets for an informative talk by the author as Baker explains how rules on trade, patents, copyrights, corporate governance, and macroeconomic policy were rigged to make income flow upward.

The 45th president of the United States, regardless of who wins the election, is expected to pursue corporate tax reform in their first one hundred days. But this alone won't be enough to tackle the nation's biggest economic challenges including crumbling infrastructure, crippling student debt, stubbornly high income inequality and climate change.

Latin America after the Left Turn
Part 1: Free Trade 2.0?
The Urban Democracy Lab at New York University, the North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA)
Jerry H. Labowitz Center for the Performing Arts
Few areas more sharply define the difference between right and left in Latin America than trade policy. Where leftist governments fought fiercely over the last 15 years to slow and reverse years of unfavorable free trade agreements promoted by the U.S., the region's right seems just as committed to rekindling that agenda by signing on to massive deals like the Trans Pacific Partnership. Will they succeed? And what are the likely effects — for capital, for labor, for social movements, and for populations at large? This panel brings contributors from NACLA's Report on the Americas magazine fall issue together with activists on the front lines of social movement struggles to promote trade policy that is fair, and just.

Wikipedia and Warriors: Quickly Exploring Canada's Wikipedia Past, 2003-Present
December 6, 2012 December 6, 2012 No Comments on Wikipedia and Warriors: Quickly Exploring Canada's Wikipedia Past, 2003-Present
Page views for the "History of Canada" wikipedia page. Note regular declines during school breaks!
By Ian Milligan
The 2009 Discover Canada: The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship, laid out – in the eyes of a diverse group of Canadian academics – a new vision for Canada (too many links to list, but some are here). A redefinition of Canada based upon war and conflict, with the military assuming a prominent role and the First and Second World Wars assuming center stage in the official understanding of the past. The evidence seems clear: one needs only to attend a hockey game (well, you know, at least during the last season), attend an official ceremony, read the pronouncement of the Minister of Heritage, to see that the Canadian military certainly is playing a larger role in both contemporary and historical accounts. But how do everyday Canadians respond to this alteration of their history? Is this shift reflected in the most common source of historical information, Wikipedia.com?
I decided to look at three pages: the "History of Canada" main page, the "Canada" main page, and the "War of 1812" main page. Each page offers unique challenges and rewards. The "History of Canada" page currently serves as a "disambiguation" page, providing relatively short, two or three paragraph descriptions of several main eras in Canadian history. Yet it receives considerable readership, and seeks to summarize sub-pages. Each page continues to grow in fits-and-starts, as we can see below.
The length of the wikipedia pages for "History of Canada" (Red), "The War of 1812" (Blue), and "Canada" (Green).
Each page grows fairly rapidly, although the "Canada" main page has generally leveled off in growth since 2010, and the "History of Canada" page began to assume a relatively consistent length in 2011. The "War of 1812," page, conversely, has continued to grow until the present date, reflecting renewed interest in the conflict as we commemorate its 200th anniversary. The "History of Canada" page shrinks significantly in 2004 because of the launch of "sub-pages": specific pages for postwar Canada, for example, or the Interwar Period, or even more specialized sections like a "Military History of Canada." Since that date, however, the general history page has grown to rivals the other two pages.
If one begins to count word frequency, in order to understand the content on these pages, we have to be cognizant of the overall shape of the data. Words like "war" and "military" are mentioned more, on a sheer level, as time goes on. But if we control it for the general size of the corpus, to get a sense of frequency, a very different picture appears. The overall "history of Canada" page is actually becoming less focused on military and war-related issues. Moving from 2003 and 2012 from left to right, "military" and "war" are both less pronounced (for the DH junkies, topic modelling wikipedia pages presents a series of unique challenges, mainly because the authorial voices continue to change).
An additional visualization, however, can be somewhat useful. We can create word clouds to document change over time. Word clouds provide a quick way to see how frequent a given word is in a text: the word that appears the most often will appear the largest, the second most often the second-largest, and so forth. They are the "gateway drug" to data visualization, thanks to the free website Wordle.net, allowing individuals to create quick and often beautiful graphics about their documents. As popular visualizations, they have perhaps been overused; one widely distributed screed against them deemed them "harmful," arguing that "[e]very time I see a word cloud presented as insight I die a little inside." Yet while they do not capture context, they do capture change over time within closely-related documents. Evidence of this can be seen if we take these wikipedia changes and put them into homemade word clouds, then visualize the changes over time:
This data visualization tells the story of the "History of Canada" wikipedia page. We see the initial story in 2003, the shrinkage in 2004 and 2005 as wikipedia moved to a more distributed, disambiguation model, and then moving forward as things begin to be fleshed out. What has changed? Remarkably, quite a bit:
Starting in 2010, an increasing amount of citation and scholarly scaffolding has begun to be established around the article. Note increased references to "retrieved," "google," "books," and – by 2011, "university" referring to scholarly presses. The article is increasingly informed by professional history.
British has been increasingly depreciated, contrary to the government's narrative around the monarchy. France has always played a relatively minor role in the wikipedia page, but even that is being supplanted by references to Quebec.
Social history is beginning to be heard: increased references to first nations, minority groups, provinces outside of the metropole, and beyond increasingly appear.
This analysis seems to indicate that trends are moving away from a militarized model of the Canadian past within wikipedia. A review of the page's "talk" window is similarly instructive, as we can see thought processes behind textual decisions. In 2010, an exhaustive "good article" review was carried out, to see if it could be given a stamp of approval. After narrowly missing out on the citation, editors debated ways to fix it: from increasing attention to anti-communism, the roles of various ethnic groups, and even a concerted attempt to reduce the number of military topics found on the website.
Similar trends can be found in the "Canada" wikipedia page itself, and the "War of 1812" page is becoming increasingly focused on "British" and "American," with the "Canadian" role being depreciated (which befits the more accurate discussion of the war, seeing it as a fight between powers, rather than as a state-building exercise for a non-existent Canada). This is perhaps unsurprising, as wikipedia is a middle layer: not quite the grassroots, but not representatives of official academia or government.
That all said, wikipedia is not representative of the public's view of history! On my own blog, I've done some work with Google Trends to look at various historical topics that people are searching for. Let me leave you with them:
Recently increased Google Search activity for the War of 1812 in Canada (most popular city: St. Catharine's, demonstrating a local interest).
The Google Search popularity of "Remembrance" in Canada. Note spikes during Remembrance Day, peaking during the Afghanistan War, but beginning to rise again.

CNN President Jeff Zucker said his network has to cover President Trump as much as possible because when they stop reporting on him the viewers leave.
Zucker made his comments in an interview in the latest issue of Vanity Fair.
It was Zucker who greenlighted "The Apprentice" which starred Donald Trump while he was at NBC.
Despite battling with the president, Zucker said he wants CNN to be the home for both supporters and opponents of the president.
Zucker's bet on Trump is paying off handsomely for CNN as Vanity Fair reports that despite trailing both Fox News and MSNBC in the ratings, they are still up considerably since 2016 and that the network is on track to report it's most profitable year ever this year.

Jefferson Parish Lakeside Plaza Slip and Fall Lawsuit Revived By Appeals Court
by Berniard Law Firm
When a person is injured and they file a lawsuit to recover damages for their injuries, they expect to "have their day in court," to be able to present their case and all of the facts and evidence that support their case. But what if the other side argues that there is no real disagreement about the facts and that the facts do not support the injured party's claim? A judge can decide early on in a lawsuit that there is no real question about a material fact and that reasonable persons would come to the same conclusion when considering the facts. This is what happened to Mr. Salvadore Tramuta when he filed suit for personal injuries in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.
Mr. Tramuta fell as he stepped from the raised sidewalk in front of a strip mall to the parking lot. The reasons for his fall are the crux of the lawsuit. The strip mall's owners, Lakeside Plaza, L.L.C., had recently corrected what they thought was a dangerous hazard to customers and unwittingly created for themselves the basis for Mr. Tramuta's lawsuit.
Lakeside's strip mall has about eight stores with a raised sidewalk running the length of the building. At first, the step was reasonably manageable from the sidewalk to the parking lot, but over time the soil settled and the step became larger as the parking lot settled lower. Lakeside corrected this problem by having an additional step made between the sidewalk and the parking lot so that customers would not have such a large step down or up. The parking lot had parking spaces fronting the sidewalk and perpendicular to it. Each parking space also has a parking bumper parallel to the sidewalk. When Lakeside added the additional step they chose to leave the parking bumpers in place. As a result, the step down from the sidewalk was shorter but the area between the parking bumpers and the step was lessened, creating less space for customers to step as they exited the stores.
Mr. Tramuta was leaving a store at Lakeside's mall with a clothing bag over his shoulder when he fell while stepping off of the raised walkway into the parking lot, sustaining serious personal injuries. Mr. Tramuta sued Lakeside alleging that a defective condition of its premises caused his fall and injuries. Specifically, Mr. Tramuta alleged that his foot wedged and/or snagged between a parking bumper and the step.
In Louisiana, to prove the owner of a building is liable for damages caused by the building's defective condition a plaintiff must prove 1) the ownership of the building, 2) that the owner knew or should have known of the defective condition, 3) that the damage could have been prevented with reasonable care, 4) that the owner failed to exercise reasonable care, and 5) that the condition caused the plaintiff's injuries. See La. C.C. art. 2322 In this case, Lakeside moved for summary judgment stating that there was no issue of material fact and that it was entitled to judgment as a matter of law. (See Zeringue v. 0 'Brien Transp., Inc., 05-760 (La. App. 5 Cir. 4/11/06),931 So.2d 377, 379, writ denied, 06-1107 (La. 9/1/06), 936 So.2d 205 for summary judgment standards.) In other words, Lakeside contended that reasonable persons looking at the facts of the case could come to only one conclusion – judgment for Lakeside. The trial court agreed and granted Lakeside summary judgment. On appeal, the court of appeal disagreed and remanded the case to the trial court for further proceedings.
The appeals court pointed out at least three areas in which reasonable persons could reach different conclusions based on the evidence in the case. The first area is causation, or whether a condition on the property actually caused Mr. Tramuta's fall. No one witnessed Mr. Tramuta's fall, and since he had passed away the only evidence available about the cause of his fall was deposition testimony of Mr. Tramuta. In his testimony, Mr. Tramuta said that he was not exactly sure what caused his fall but expressed several times that is was something related to the bumper, the steps, or the space between the bumper and steps. Lakeside also asserted that since Mr. Tramuta could not identify the exact bumper he may have fallen over he could not prove which bumper or step had caused his injuries. The appeals court decided that since the steps and bumpers were uniform over the length of the building it was not necessary for Mr. Tramuta to identify the specific one that caused his fall. The fact that he identified the space between the bumpers and the sidewalk as the cause of his fall was enough for reasonable persons to come to differing conclusions on whether his fall was caused by the sidewalk/parking lot conditions or not.
The second area the appeals court addressed is whether defective conditions presenting an unreasonable risk of harm existed on Lakeside's property. Lakeside argued that the bumpers' position in relation to the sidewalk was not a defect and presented expert testimony to that point. Mr. Tramuta argued that the positioning of the bumpers was a defect and presented his own expert to testify. The contradictory testimony of the experts was sufficient to create differing conclusions in the minds of reasonable persons looking at the facts.
However, if the property owner can show that the condition is open and obvious to all then the condition does not present an unreasonable risk of harm. Whether a condition is open and obvious must be decided on a case by case basis and is a task for the trier of fact – the judge or jury. The court pointed out several facts that reasonable persons could differ over their significance: the placement of the bumpers in close proximity to the step, the fact that the step is not painted yellow like the bumper but is instead the same color as the sidewalk and the parking lot, and the decision by the owner not to have the front edge of the step painted. It is a question of fact as to whether these facts create an unreasonable risk of harm and reasonable persons can come to different conclusions on that point.
Finally, the third area addressed by the appeals court is whether Lakeside had or should have had knowledge of the condition. Lakeside contended that it had no knowledge of the condition. The appeals court pointed out that the contractor who added the step recommended painting the fact of the step yellow to make it more visible. The contractor also recommended moving the parking bumpers further away from the sidewalk but Lakeside declined to incur the additional cost. Since the contractor's testimony brings into question whether Lakeside knew about the condition or not, reasonable persons could come to different conclusions and therefore the questions should be left to a trier of fact to decide after considering all of the evidence.
Where reasonable persons can look at the same set of facts and come to different conclusions, a geninue issue of material fact exists and the parties should be given a full opportunity to present their cases. For any plaintiff, an important step to having their day in court is to survive summary judgment, just like Mr. Tramuta's family here, so that the full facts of the case can be heard by the court.

ISMA Heads to Jukasa Motor Speedway for $5,000 to Win Queenston Chevy 50 this Saturday
_Front Page News, International Super Modified Association
Mike Ordway Jr, Tim Jedrzejek and Mike Lichty at Jukasa in 2018 Jim Feeney photo
By Camden Proud
OSWEGO, NY (July 11, 2019) – The International Supermodified Association (ISMA) is excited to be back at Jukasa Motor Speedway on Saturday July 13, 2019. Jukasa is a beautiful 5/8 mile paved oval about one hour west of Buffalo, NY in Ontario, Canada. A highly competitive field is planned for the 50-lap, $5,000 to win ISMA Opener.
ISMA was at Jukasa in 2018 and Dan Bowes in the No. 25 came out on top. Dan set a new track record (15.100, 149 mph average speed) and drove flawlessly to move from ninth to first in his No. 25 Supermodified.
In 2019, ISMA has been given the opportunity to improve on the existing Bowes record. The Bowes No. 25 will be in attendance this Saturday seeking to duplicate his effort. Kyle Edwards No. 11E will be in attendance seeking to follow up on his 2018 championship season.
Jon McKennedy, the 2017 ISMA Champion, will be driving the Pam and Lee Vinal No. 21 Super. This is the same car Jon drove in his championship 2017 season. Jon is always a threat to win.
Former champion Ben Seitz will be competing in the Dan Soule No. 32 entry. Ben won the championship in 2014 driving the Dick Bein No. 17. Tim Jedrzejek will be driving the Howie Lane No. 97. Lane Racing will also have a second car in the field, the No. 9 driven by Ohioan Denny Fisher.
Mike Ordway Jr, in the Clyde and Susan Booth No. 61 entry, will undoubtedly be a strong competitor after a suspension failure took him out of the running in the 2018 Jukasa event. The Booth entry, with Mike behind the wheel, is a threat to win any time it is in attendance. Chris Perley who is at the top of the all-time ISMA win list with 73 wins, will be driving the No. 11 for Vic Miller.
Brad Lichty will have three entries in the field. The No. 84 will be driven by 2012 season champion Mike Lichty, a strong competitor everywhere and especially good on high speed tracks like Jukasa. Ryan Coniam will be driving Brad's second entry; and his third entry, the No. 74, will be piloted by Ohio's Moe Lilje.
Mark Sammut, of London, Ontario, will have two entries. Mark is an extremely strong competitor who is always in the hunt at the end. There will be five Canadians in the field which include Sammut's No. 78, Mike Ling in the No. 78L, Dave McKnight in the No. 70, Coniam in the No. 48 and Lichty in the No. 84.
Without question this event with six ISMA champions, vying for a $5,000 to win payday, will be an event to see. You can never count out others in the field such as Ohio's Rich Reid who will be piloting his brand new Jim Bodnar built chassis, or New York's Nick Cappelli who is returning to ISMA competition. These competitors are among the drivers who will be competing for their first ISMA win of the 2019 season on the road to the championship.
Join us on Saturday, July 13 to enjoy the excitement of ISMA Supermodifieds at the beautiful Jukasa Motor Speedway. Pit gates open at 1:00 pm, grandstands open at 3:00 pm and racing starts at 5:30 PM.

Community was nice, but rep was a bit pushy and should listen more.
The feedback of our visitors, families and residents is important to us at Atria Farmington. Thank you for bringing your experience to our attention. If you'd like to personally talk more about your family's experience, you can directly email us at [removed].
I can't say enough wonderful things about Atria. Everyone from [Name removed] the sales manager to the front desk people. [Name removed] who runs the memory care area is truly an angel. All the CNAs and activities people are the best. The nursing staff is amazing especially [Name removed]. Every single person I have come into contact with has been friendly and helpful and caring I feel so blessed and that is knowing my mom is at such a great facility.
Absolutely love the community for my mother – kindness everywhere, staff and residents.
Excellent place to live for my mom. She loves it and most of all it is spotless!
Moving my father to assisted living was a difficult decision but knowing that he is well cared for in a comfortable safe environment has convinced me that is was the right decision for us both. The staff are professional, warm, understanding and patient in dealing with his dementia and very supportive and helpful to me as well.
Yes, the faculty is beautiful. Yes, the nursing staff is incredible and some other employees are great. Otherwise, they have a systemic problem of incompetence and poor customer service. From the top down, there are no expectations placed on the employees. Very few even smile. My mother was so excited when she moved in, but we quickly learned that the sales team over sold and the management under delivered. It was a month before we even knew that the Atria laundered the sheets for us. It took me two months to understand the add-on prices. No one gave us a new resident informational packet or welcome tour. They just sold us on an over prices room with a half kitchen and left us to learn the benefits and policies on our own.
My mother recently moved across the street to a building that is not as pretty, but a staff, from maintenance to the Executive Director that makes her feel special every single day.
Eric, thanks for taking the time to provide feedback - I'm sorry there were parts of your experience you weren't fully satisfied with, but I'm happy to hear that your mother is doing well. If you have questions or would like to share anything else, feel free to contact us any time at [removed].
Clean comfortable-light and bright top of the line community. Offers many activities-your choice to participate or not-staff help above average-only independent/assisted facility that offers 7am to 7pm restaurant service. No designated seating. Entertainment offered-varies and is usually good! "The cruise ship that never leaves port"
Front desk employee's ([Removed]) are rude and ignore – walk in guests.
Dining room -2 male waiters act inappropriately in serving.
Food service – "Always" – late & slow.
Constantly – running out of food at meal time.
Tables and chairs (dining room) unsanitary!
Thank you for reaching out. Your comments concern me and I'd like to help. Can you please reach out to me directly at [removed]? From there, I can better understand the circumstances and how best to address them.
My brother and sister-in-law were in a stressful situation because he was going to be discharged from the hospital and could not return home and this community went above and beyond in helping our family. They rented furniture at no cost to us for their 2 bedroom apt in the assisted living so it would be ready for his discharge and give us time to swap out their furniture once they were both moved in. The staff are comforting and caring and the medical attention my brother is receiving is great. We know that they are both in a safe and secure place. The dining room is open 7am-7pm so that the residents can come in and order from the menu during that time with no set schedule and the food is really good. Thank you all for ALL you have done for our family.
Atria has a very caring staff. We had a few kinks at the beginning, but everything is being taken care of.
I couldn't be happier with my decision to move my mother to this community. She is doing great, and I'am pleased with all they have done for us. The staff have been amazing. They are very helpful, caring, and kind. They really take the time to listen, and understand my concerns. Every time I visit her I feel more comfortable with the choice to move her to this facility. This is a community I would recommend, it is working out well for us.
As with anything, communication is so important. My family's experience to date has been that communication between staff and family and even staff themselves has been inconsistent and on more than one occasion poor.
We are working with the facility and staff to improve communication keeping in mind what's best for our loved one.
Very impressive community. Everyone was very kind, and my tour went very well. The community looked great. You can tell they do a good job with the cleanliness. There are nice activities offered. The residents were very cheerful. It was pleasant experience.
We are very satisfied with the way this community is running things. They have done a wonderful job with helping my loved one transition. The food is really good and there is a variety. She is trying to get involved with the activities. Also Holis gave us a wonderful tour and was very helpful.
A brand new beautiful community!!
The staff are accommodating, patient, kind and treat mom very well. They offer a variety of activities and even have ones that cater to the male residents. They have cocktail hour every evening and take trips. The upper level has a card room and games. The dining room is beautiful and the kitchen is always open. The food is great and they offer a variety of choices. They have offered monthly move in specials and I would recommend this community.
The Landing of Farmington is a clean well taken care of community!!!
The food tastes good and they offer a lot of healthy choices. The staff are engaged with my dad and tell me all the time how much they like him. They come to get him to participate in numerous activities as well as the field trips offered on Tuesdays. They offer things such as daily exercise classes and weekly entertainment. I would recommend this community but I would make sure it fits your individual needs.
I toured this community for my mother, it was a pleasant tour. From what I saw everything looked nice and clean. It appeared to be a well maintained community. The staff was kind and friendly. They were informative and answered my questions. It was a nice tour.
This has been an extremely positive experience!!!!
My brother has been making new friends since moving into The Landing. The staff are very accommodating, friendly and got to know him immediately. The food is very good. We had family come to visit they reserved us a private dining room and gave us a tour of the community. My niece really liked it and said it was a fantastic place. We would definitely recommend this community actually I am ready to move in myself.

I've recently moved my father to The Landing of Farmington. I love how bright and cheerful the community is! All the natural lighting and common areas are really going to helpful with his adjustment. He's enjoying the anytime dining, and asking the chef to make his favorite foods. The staff has been so sweet to him! I stopped in the other night and saw him playing poker with two other gentlemen!

Established in 2014, Chirifruit caters to your sweet tooth perfectly, with their wide assortment of dried fruit, dried fruit rolls and chocolate, and the dessert that Georgia rightfully takes pride in: churchkhela. As director of Chirifruit Sophio Jikia explains, it was a kiwi given to her from her father that accidently turned into delicious dried fruit – after being placed near the oven for too long – that gave the family the inspiration to start the business.
In a country as keen on its traditions as Georgia, it may seem a little unorthodox to some to modernize pieces of Georgian heritage. Chirifruit, however, has managed to do this in a way that causes only admiration. In their own words, the company succeeded in creating something new that "does not lose our culture and old traditions, but on the contrary, reveals its concept in an even better way." Their products, equally delicious and aesthetically pleasing, are often hailed as works of art by customers. This encouraged them to diversify Chirifruit even further, adding churchkhela made from strawberry, raspberry and cherry juice pelamushi, as well as traditional grape juice. In the context of culinary modernisation, the launch and success of 'the new generation' of churchkhela is what they are most proud of.
As relevant as Chirifruit is for Georgians, given that most of them would snack on chiri (the Georgian word for dried fruit) or churchkhela anytime, the company's production, for many tourists, represents Georgia itself. When we ask Natia Uchidze, Head of PR for Chirifruit, why foreign markets are interested in their products, she replies: "There was a post in a Facebook group entitled 'Spend Four Seasons in Georgia'. A tourist who wrote about the emotions he experienced while travelling in Georgia published a photo, which showed a Chirifruit label in the frame. What's more, Georgians, before going abroad, often visit Chirifruit to take products with them in order to show foreigners the essence of Georgia'' There have been many similar situations in the seven years since the company's creation, and according to Natia, it is exactly this type of thing that motivates Chirifruit to create a product that is simply impossible to forget.
