8 Inspiring Green Kids and Their Eco-Innovations
Design Technology Other Gadgets
under Architecture, Automotive, Design, Other Gadgets
by Jasmin Malik Chua
As kids, most of us spent our days playing hopscotch, toying with action figures, maneuvering Tetris blocks, and wrestling with Donkey Kong. Not these creative tykes, however! These eight amazingly innovative kids and adolescents are inventing up a storm — whether for their own personal kicks (Hibiki Kono's wall-scaling backpack), to help their community (Kelydra Welcker's water-filtration method), or to save the world (Javier Fernández-Han's algae-driven super-system). Need some inspiration today? Click through our slideshow of amazing kid inventors for a look at the creative solutions the next generation is conjuring up for this one.
BEN GULAK + JASON MORROW – Built the Tango Electric Motorcycle
Ontario teenagers Ben Gulak and Jason Morrow, who were 18 in 2007, built a Segway-inspired electric motorcycle with a difference: It has no hand-steering controls. Dubbed the "Tango," the electric vehicle moves forward, right, or left, depending on its rider's body movements.
MAX WALLACK- Created the Home Dome
PBS Kids' found a winner in Max Wallack, then 12, when he invented the "Home Dome" for its Trash to Treasure competition. Composed of plastic bags filled with Styrofoam packing peanuts, the yurt-shaped structure was designed to offer temporary shelter for homeless people and disaster victims, while relieving landfills of non-biodegradable waste.
DANIEL BURD – Sped up Plastic Decomposition
Plastic isn't fantastic for Daniel Burd, a 16-year-old student in Canada who found a way to use microbes to degrade plastic bags in as little as three months. Burd, whose project won the top prize at the 2008 Canada-Wide Science Fair in Ottawa, found that necessity invention. "Almost every week I have to do chores and when I open the closet door, I have this avalanche of plastic bags falling on top of me," he said. "One day, I got tired of it and I wanted to know what other people are doing with these plastic bags."
ELIZABETH RINTELS – Invented the Water Watcher
In 2008, Elizabeth Rintels, then 12, won the grand prize in By Kids For Kids' Going Green Challenge with a smart device that measures and monitors water use in the shower. Rintel's gadget, which can be attached to any faucet, lights up and beeps with every half-gallon of water that gushes forth.
KELYDRA WELCKER – Created a Water Filtration System
Kelydra Welcker was only in 7th grade when she figured out a simple test for ammonium perfluorooctanoate, a chemical that was polluting the local waters of the Ohio River where she lived, just 7 miles downstream from a DuPont plant. Then, operating out of a trailer behind her house, Welcker devised a way to remove the Teflon surfactant from the water by combining granular activated carbon and a pair of electrodes. With some help from the local utility company and DuPont, Welcker, now in college, hopes to implement her desktop unit on a community-wide scale.
HIBIKI "SPIDER BOY" KONO – Invented a Wall-Climbing Backpack
Hibiki Kono may not have Spiderman's web-slinging powers, but the 13-year-old British schoolboy can scale walls almost as well. His not-so-secret: A high-tech "backpack" that harnesses the suction power of two recycled vacuum cleaners—perfect, Kono says, for your friendly neighborhood window washer.
JAVIER FERNANDEZ-HAN – Designed the Versatile System
Javier Fernández-Han was only 9 when he decided he wanted to design for the other 90 percent. Several years later, Fernandez-Han devised the Versatile System, a mix of new and existing technology that uses algae to treat waste, produces methane and bio-oil as fuel, grows food, and traps greenhouse gases.

Made out of porcelain, gold or ceramic, a dental crown is a cap that is put over a damaged tooth. This cap serves to protect and strengthen the tooth. It also offers correction to misshapen or crooked teeth.
The amount you will owe at the end of your dental crown visit will depend on the materials selected to make the crown, the location of the crown, and the type of dental insurance coverage that you have.
Depending on the extent of your missing teeth problem, your dentist in Presidio may recommend that you receive a traditional bridge, a cantilever bridge, a single-tooth bridge, or a partial bridge.
What's the Average Cost of a Dental Implant Bridge?
Since your bridge will be customized to meet your needs, the cost you will pay will be based on a number of factors. These include your dental insurance, the materials, the complexity of the bridge, and the number of false teeth utilized.
Dentures fulfill the function of the natural teeth when a patient has lost most or all of their teeth. Many dentures mimic the appearance of the natural teeth, making them an excellent option for patients who want to restore their smile. Call us to learn more about the many different types of dentures that we offer.
How Affordable Will My New Dentures Be?
Our dentists understand that you are probably concerned over the cost of your dentures. It's important that you understand that the cost of your dentures will be determined by the style of dentures that you choose. No matter which you choose, you will be given a full estimate of the anticipated costs before we complete any work.
Most full dentures are made from a resin material that mimics the gums and natural teeth. What you will pay for your full dentures will depend on whether or not you need metal frames and whether you decide to go with dental implant dentures or adhesive dentures.
If you want dentures that are removable and natural in appearance, partial dentures may be the right choice for you. Partial dentures are usually created with plastic materials that look just like natural teeth and gums. For extra stability, your dentures may utilize a metal framework and acrylic clasps. Another option is to use flexible partials. These make use of the contours of your teeth and gums to create a secure fit.
Will My Flipper Teeth Work Like Real Teeth?
Flipper teeth are a lightweight and easily removable option that are often put in on a temporary basis. These partial dentures also mimic the appearance of real teeth.
Why Should I Choose Immediate Dentures?
The primary benefit of choosing Immediate Dentures is that process generally takes only two stages. The first stage consists of your dentist making a mold of your mouth. The second stage consists of the teeth being extracted. You will then be given your final set of dentures.
A dental filling is usually made out of materials like metal, porcelain, gold, or plastic. They serve the purpose of filling in a cavity. This prevents further tooth decay from setting into the tooth.
What Do Cavity Fillings Cost?
The cost of a cavity filling depends on the type of filling used. Your dental insurance will also play a part in determining how much you pay. For more information about what your plan covers, call your dental insurance provider.
How Does a Composite Filling Work?
Composite fillings fill in cavities while matching the color of the natural tooth. These fillings will generally take longer to put in than other types of fillings. They are an excellent choice for smaller cavities.
What Can You Tell Me About Onlays?
Have you suffered from extensive cavity damage to your teeth? Or maybe your old fillings have fallen out or become loose? If so, your dentist may have recommended that you receive a dental onlay. An onlay consists of a covering being placed over the cusp of the tooth to prevent further damage.
How Much Will My Bill for Dental Overlays Be?
Your bill will depend on a number of factors. Your dentist will provide you with an estimate of the cost of dental onlays.
Can You Tell Me About Dental Overlays?
Dental overlays are coverings that are placed over the teeth when they have suffered from severe damage. For more information about dental overlays and how much they cost, contact our office to schedule a consultation.

The Fresh West
Music – Pomona
"Inspired by the 90's but fresh enough to drop hits today" sums the feel of this crew. The Fresh West is a Hip Hop group from Southern California comprised of the following members: Payback, Jerm, Marcloke, and C.A.P. (Pictured left to right) Through chance meetings, childhood friendships, and family relation, the 4 members joined together to create a voltron force. Each member brings his own respective talent and hustle for synergy of this awesome group. Through the music, The Fresh West hits the mark to represent Southern California culture along with their Hispanic culture. A distinctive West Coast style of Hip Hop accompanied with poetic, witty, and hardcore lyric. The Fresh West brings that L.A. sound with twist to appeal for the music listener today. Whether at the club, on the street, or in the car, this crew rhymes like there's something to prove. A "Fresh West" is here. Busting onto the scene with so much flavor in songs, performances, and originality to keep you coming back for more. Knowing the ever increasing population of their demographics nationwide it is only a matter of time before this is group known from coast to coast. Uniting the bolstered new Hispanic culture with the Pop radio scene to give the people something they've never seen before. A Hip Hop group that is ruff, funny, and inspirational while at the same time being a fresh image of brown all around. Not concentrating on Latin influence and Spanish lyric but rather West Coast urban rap with Pop and Latin influence. The Fresh West has performed for many venues. Most recent, the 2011 Low Rider tour in Las Vegas, Soulstyce Hip Hop Fest, charity events, numerous RAW Showcases and other locations. An amazing show accompanied with B-boys, BattleHolex Crew World Wide. To pinpoint every inspiration would be impossible. A generic trait would be life in itself. Forever inspired by the love of those kept close, as well as each other. Feeding one another from their creative energy, passion, and intelligence. Friends, family, the ups and downs of living, plus the encompassing emotion is also definite inspiration. And let's not forget the talented artists who have paved the way for a group such as The Fresh West. These artists inspired the members in days past, present, and surely in the future.


Life can emerge from physics and chemistry plus a lot of accidents.
Chemistry, a branch of physical science, is the study of the composition, properties and behavior of matter. Chemistry is concerned with atoms and their interactions with other atoms, and particularly with the properties of chemical bonds. Chemistry is also concerned with the interactions between atoms (or groups of atoms) and various forms of energy (e.g. photochemical reactions, changes in phases of matter, separation of mixtures, properties of polymers, etc.).
The chemists are a strange class of mortals, impelled by an almost insane impulse to seek their pleasures amid smoke and vapour, soot and flame, poisons and poverty; yet among all these evils I seem to live so sweetly that may I die if I were to change places with the Persian king.
It is the study of the Chemists to liberate that unsensual truth from its fetters in things of sense.
It is the study of the Chemists to liberate that unsensual truth from its fetters in things of sense, for through it the heavenly powers are persued with subtle understanding....Knowledge is the sure and undoubted resolution by experiment of all opinions concerning the truth....Experiment is manifest demonstration of the truth, and resolution the putting away of doubt. We cannot be resolved of any doubt save by experiment, and therefore is no better way to make it than on ourselves. Let us therefore verify what we have said above concerning the truth, beginning with ourselves. We have said that piety consists in knowledge of ourselves, and hence it is said that we make philosophical knowledge begin from this also. But no man can know himself unless he know what and not who he is, on whom he depends and whose he is (for by the law of truth no one belongs to himself, and to what end he was made. With this knowledge piety begins, which is concerned with two things, namely, with the Creator and the creature that is made like unto him. For it is impossible for the creature to know himself of himself, unless he first know his Creator....No one can better know the Creator, than the workman is known by his work.
Gerhard Dorn 1659 c. Theatrum Chemicum Volume 1 phil. med.
Chymistry is all New; there was no such thing known to the Generations of Old. This Spagyrick Art, which was set on foot by Paracelsus and Helmont, and by some other searching Heads, hath had Prodigious Additions made to it lately. The Alchymists Retort and Alembick never were furnish'd with such rare and excellent Secrets as they are now; the Laboratories and Furnaces never afforded the like Inventions. It is indeed a rough and violent way of Philosophizing, it is an hectoring as it were of Nature, it is puting her upon the Rack, and on the Fiery Trial, to make her confess what she never did before. And truly she hath made a very ample Confession and Discovery, whereby the knowledge of Natural Philosophy is much increas'd and imbellish'd, very Noble and Precious Medicaments (consisting of Oyls, Spirits, Tinctures, Salts, &c.) are produced, and the Healthfulness of Men's Bodies, and their Longævity are procured, and the Almighty Creator thereby Exalted and Honoured.
For the alchemist is the baker in baking the bread, the vintner in making the wine, the weaver in weaving cloth. Thus, whatever arises out of nature for human use is brought to that condition ordained by nature by an alchemist.
The physician's duty is to heal the sick, not enrich the apothecaries.
My travels have developed me; no man becomes a master at home, nor finds his teacher behind the stove. Sicknesses wander here and there the whole length of the world. If a man wishes to understand them, he must wander too. A doctor must be an alchemist, he must see mother earth where the minerals grow. And as the mountains will not come to him, he must go to the mountains. It is indeed true that those who do not roam have greater possessions than those who do; those who sit behind the stove eat partridge, and those who follow after knowledge eat milkbroth. He who will serve the belly-- he will not follow after me.
Luther is abundantly learned, therefore you hate him and me, but we are at least a match for you.
I admonish you not to reject the method of experiment, but according as your power permits, to follow it without prejudice. For every experiment is like a weapon which must be used according to its peculiar power, as a spear to thrust, a club to strike, so also is it with experiments.
I praise the chemical physicians, for they do not go about gorgeous in satins, silks, and velvets, silver daggers hanging at their sides, and white gloves on their hands, but they tend their work at the fire patiently day and night. They do not go promenading, but seek their recreation in laboratory. They thrust their fingers among the coals into dirt and rubbish and not into golden rings.
the true use of chemistry is not to make gold but to prepare medicines.
Its name [alchemy] will no doubt prevent its being acceptable to many; but why should wise people hate without cause that which some other wantonly misuse? Why hate blue because some clumsy painter uses it? Which would Caesar order to be crucified, the thief or the thing he had stolen? No science can be deservedly held in contempt by one who knows noting about it. Because you are ignorant of alchemy, you are ignorant of the mysteries of nature.
God does not justify man on the ground of human learning; attainments in chemistry, anatomy, geology, botany, astronomy, or skill in sculpture and painting, — these do not prepare a man to die.
Albert Barnes (1895) Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers. p. 114.
Like a chemist, Napoleon considered all Europe to be material for his experiments. But in due course, this material reacted against him.
Every chemical combination is wholly and solely dependent on two opposing forces, positive and negative electricity, and every chemical compound must be composed of two parts combined by the agency of their electrochemical reaction, since there is no third force. Hence it follows that every compound body, whatever the number of its constituents, can be divided into two parts, one of which is positively and the other negatively electrical.
Jöns Jacob Berzelius Essai sur la théorie des proportions chemiques (1819), 98. Quoted by Henry M. Leicester in article on Bessel in Charles Coulston Gillespie (editor), Dictionary of Scientific Biography (1981), Vol. 2, 94.
Jöns Jacob Berzelius to Nils Sefstrom, 8th July 1812. In C. G. Bernard, Berzelius as a European Traveller, in E. M. Melhardo and T. Frängsmyr (eds.), Enlightenment Science in the Romantic Era (1992), 225.
If we could determine the nature of substances burning at Mannheim, why should we not do the same with regard to the sun? ---But people would say we must have gone mad to dream of such a thing.
Chemists do not usually stutter. It would be very awkward if they did, seeing that they have at times to get out such words as methylethylamylophenylium.
William Crookes, in: William H. Brock. (1993). The Norton History of Chemistry. W W Norton & Co Inc. p xxvi.
Chemical analysis and synthesis go no farther than to the separation of particles one from another, and to their reunion. No new creation or destruction of matter is within the reach of chemical agency. We might as well attempt to introduce a new planet into the solar system, or to annihilate one already in existence, as to create or destroy a particle of hydrogen."
John Dalton.A New System of Chemical Philosophy, chapter III "On Chemical Synthesis", p 212. Published in Manchester, 1808.
Comment: The quote would be famously wrong in the nuclear age if it hadn't been presciently qualified, but that makes it memorable. It is also ironic in that a new planet, Pluto, was discovered afterward, but subsequently demoted from planet status.
Most of the substances belonging to our globe are constantly undergoing alterations in sensible quantities, and one variety of matter becomes, as it were, transmuted into another. Such changes, whether natural or artificial, whether slowly or rapidly performed, are called chemical; thus the gradual and almost imperceptible decay of the leaves and branches of a fallen tree exposed to the atmosphere, and the rapid combustion of wood in our fires, are both chemical operations. The object of chemical philosophy is to ascertain the causes of all phenomena of this kind, and to discover the laws by which they are governed. The ends of this branch of knowledge are the applications of natural substances to new uses, for increasing the comforts and enjoyments of man, and the demonstration of the order, harmony, and intelligent design of the system of the earth.

Chemistry, Madame Lefrancois....the composition of manures, the fermentation of liquids, the analysis of gases and the influence of miasmata- what, I put it to you, is all this, but chemistry pure and simple?
Reader! Imagine a school-boy who has outgrown his clothes. Imagine the repairs made on the vestments where the enlarged frame had burst the narrow limits of its inclosure. Imagine the additions made where the projecting limbs had fairly and far emerged beyond the confines of the garment. Imagine the boy still growing, and the clothes, mended all over, now more than ever in want of mending — such is chemistry, and such its nomenclature.
Once you are there you'll be like a drop of water in a piece of rock crystal- your medium will dignify your commonness.
The most powerful influence exercised by the Arabs on general natural physics was that directed to the advances of chemistry; a science for which this race created a new era.(...) Besides making laudatory mention of that which we owe to the natural science of the Arabs in both the terrestrial and celestial spheres, we must likewise allude to their contributions in separate paths of intellectual development to the general mass of mathematical science.
Dmitri Mendeleev Declared in his treatise "An Outline of the System of the Elements" it was read to the Russian Chemical Society.
As Mechanical Philosophy has a respect to those motions of the larger bodies of the universe which fall under the inspection of our senses, so Chemical Philosophy is the science which explains those motions which take place among the minute component parts of bodies, and which are known chiefly by the effects which they produce; in other words, its object is, "to ascertain the ingredients that enter into the composition of bodies—to examine the nature of these ingredients, the manner in which, and the laws by which, they combine, and the properties resulting from their combination." It may safely be asserted, that there is no branch of science in which the discoveries and improvements, during the last century, have been more numerous, or more important, than in this. Indeed, such has been their number, and their interesting nature, that to exhibit them in detail would be to fill volumes.

At this time organic chemistry can drive one completely crazy. It seems to me like a primeval tropical jungle, full of the most remarkable things, an amazing thicket, without escape or end, into which one would not dare to enter.
Friedrich Wöhler, quoted in Tomas Hudlicky, The Way of Synthesis, 2007.
Never before has mankind had to face the possibility of extinction in all-out fusion bomb war, nor has it had occasion for hope of unexampled prosperity in the taming of that same fusion bomb. Either fate could result from a single branch of scientific advance. We are gaining the knowledge; science is giving us that. Now we need wisdom as well.
The important point is not the bigness of Avogadro's number but the bigness of Avogadro.
On the arid lands there will spring up industrial colonies without smoke and without smokestacks; forests of glass tubes will extend over the plains and glass buildings will rise everywhere; inside of these will take place the photochemical processes that hitherto have been the guarded secret of the plants, but that will have been mastered by human industry which will know how to make them bear even more abundant fruit than nature, for nature is not in a hurry and mankind is. And if in a distant future the supply of coal becomes completely exhausted, civilization will not be checked by that, for life and civilization will continue as long as the sun shines!
The nature of the chemical bond is the problem at the heart of all chemistry.
The Joker: You IDIOT! You made me. Remember? You dropped me into that vat of chemicals. That wasn't easy to get over, and don't think that I didn't try.
Somehow, the practice of astronomy, physics, chemistry or biology normally fails to evoke the controversies over fundamentals that today seem endemic among, say, psychologists or sociologists. Attempting to discover the source of that difference led me to recognize the role in scientific research of what I have since called "paradigms." These I take to be universally recognized scientific achievements that for a time provide model problems and solutions for a community of practitioners.
For me chemistry represented an indefinite cloud of future potentialities which enveloped my life to come in black volutes torn by fiery flashes, like those which had hidden Mount Sinai. Like Moses, from that cloud I expected my law, the principle of order in me, around me, and in the world. I was fed up with books, which I still continued to gulp down with indiscreet voracity, and searched for a key to the highest truths; there must be a key, and I was certain that, owing to some monstrous conspiracy to my detriment and the world's, I would not get in school. In school they loaded with me with tons of notions that I diligently digested, but which did not warm the blood in my veins. I would watch the buds swell in spring, the mica glint in the granite, my own hands, and I would say to myself: "I will understand this, too, I will understand everything, but not the way they want me to. I will find a shortcut, I will make a lock-pick, I will push open the doors."
It was enervating, nauseating, to listen to lectures on the problem of being and knowing, when everything around us was a mystery pressing to be revealed: the old wood of the benches, the sun's sphere beyond the windowpanes and the roofs, the vain flight of the pappus down in the June air. Would all the philosophers and all the armies of the world be able to construct this little fly? No, nor even understand it: this was a shame and an abomination, another road must be found.
Primo Levi (1975) The Periodic Table "Hydrogen"
That conquering matter is to understand it, and understanding matter is necessary to understanding the universe and ourselves: and that therefore Mendeleev's Periodic Table, which just during those weeks we were laboriously learning to unravel, was poetry, loftier and more solemn than all the poetry we had swallowed down in liceo; and come to think of it, it even rhymed!
Having reached this point in life, what chemist, facing the Periodic Table or the monumental indices of Beilstein or Landolt, does not perceive scattered amoung them the sad tatters, or trophies, of his own professional past? He only has to leaf through any treatise and memories rise up in bunches: there is among us he who has tied his destiny, indelibly, to bromine or to propylene, or the -NCO group, or glutamic acid; and every chemistry student, faced by almost any treatise, should be aware that on one of those pages, perhaps in a single line, formula, or word, his future is written in indecipherable characters, which, however, will become clear "afterward": after success, error, or guilt, victory or defeat. Every no longer young chemist, turning again to the verhängnis voll page in that same treatise, is struck by love or disgust, delights or despairs.

I could tell innumerable other stories and they would all be true: all literally true, in the nature of the transitions, in their order and data. The number of atoms is so great that one could always be found whose story coincides with any capriciously invented story.
But we are still blind... blind and we don't have those tweezers we often dream of at night, the way a thirsty man dreams of springs, that would allow us to pick up a segment, hold it firm and straight, and paste it in the right direction on the segment that has already been assembled. If we had those tweezers (and it's possible that, one day, we will), we would have managed to create some wonderful things But for the present we don't have those tweezers, and when we come right down to it, we're bad riggers.
Chemistry without catalysis would be a sword without a handle, a light without brilliance, a bell without sound.

There is a narrowness of action, though not of intent, which characterizes university departments, and scientific publications and scientists in general: if it is too popular, it is somehow vulgar and wrong. You can't really speak to those people across the street. I live next to the chemists at MIT, but I never see them. I hardly know who they are, yet between physics and chemistry it is hard to know who should study what molecule. I myself am guilty. We form communities not based on the problems of science, but on quite other things. This is part of the general split between the intelligent member of the public and the scientist who speaks in narrow focus. But the great theoretical problems which I believe the world expects will somehow be solved by science, problems close to deep philosophical issues are the very problems that find the least expertise, the least degree of organization, the least institutional support in the scientific institutions of America or indeed of the world.

I have described at some length the application of Positive Rays to chemical analysis; one of the main reasons for writing this book was the hope that it might induce others, and especially chemists, to try this method of analysis. I feel sure that there are many problems in chemistry, which could be solved with far greater ease by this than any other method. The method is surprisingly sensitive — more so than even that of spectrum analysis, requires an infinitesimal amount of material, and does not require this to be specially purified; the technique is not difficult if appliances for producing high vacua are available.
The philosophy of Bergson, which is a spiritualist restoration, essentially mystical, medieval, Quixotesque, has been called a demi-mondaine philosophy. Leave out the demi; call it mondaine, mundane. Mundane — yes, a philosophy for the world and not for philosophers, just as chemistry ought to be not for chemists alone. The world desires illusion (mundus vult decipi) — either the illusion antecedent to reason, which is poetry, or the illusion subsequent to reason, which is religion. And Machiavelli has said that whosoever wishes to delude will always find someone willing to be deluded. Blessed are they who are easily befooled!
The unique challenge which chemical synthesis provides for the creative imagination and the skilled hands ensures that it will endure as long as men write books, paint pictures, and fashion things which are beautiful, or practical, or both.
Mendeleev, unlike the squeamish Meyer, had balls enough to predict that new elements would be dug up. Look harder, you chemists and geologists, he seemed to taunt, and you'll find them.
Chemistry is a game that electrons play.
This new quantum mechanics promised to explain all of chemistry.
All the elements other than hydrogen and helium make up just 0.04 percent of the universe. Seen from this perspective, the periodic system appears to be rather insignificant. But the fact remains that we live on the earth, which consists entirely of ordinary matter, as far as we know, and where the relative abundance of elements is quite d ifferent.
Dead is when the chemists take over the subject.

Chemists have been inspired by Nature for hundreds of years, not only trying to understand the chemistry that occurs in living systems, but also trying to extend Nature based on the learned facts.

This work attempts to create a semi-automated algorithm (called SPARTA) to calculate height, width and slope of surface breaks produced by earthquakes on faults. We developed the Python algorithm using synthetic catalogues, which can include noise features such as vegetation, hills and ditches, which mimic natural environments. We then apply the algorithm to four fault scarps in southern Malawi, at the southern end of the East African Rift system, to understand their earthquake potential.

As a brief, technical aside! Omega Dourumble's lines seem to be somewhat scrambled for no particular reason – given that Omega Dourumble's forms also don't actively use all of their voice lines in their current appearances, this makes it difficult for me to test these unused lines, even though I'm 85-90% sure I got it right…!
This mod will be swiftly updated when Omega Double recieves updates in the future, so please feel free to check back in – and leave comments! Yeah!
