from the shallow waters at O’Hara’s Landing Marina in fall of 2024 SALISBURY — The Twin Lakes Association is taking an earlier and more aggressive approach to fighting the spread of invasive hydrilla in East Twin Lake by dosing the whole northeast bay with low-level herbicide treatments instead of spot treatments the TLA’s vice president of lake management is to sustain herbicide concentration over the 2025 growing season That plan of attack will continue over a period of 60 to 90 days beginning May 21 Conklin explained during the association’s April 30 membership meeting via Zoom which drew 60 attendees TLA officials were encouraged by the chance to stop the spread and hopefully destroy the thick mats of the unyielding invasive plant hydrilla verticillata referred to as the Connecticut River variant after two years of chasing new growth around the lake’s north bay Dense patches were first discovered in the summer of 2023 in shallow waters around O’Hara’s Landing Marina and the nearby state boat launch and the plant has since migrated further into East Twin Past treatment efforts were hampered by delayed permits from the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to treat the hydrilla with herbicides in an area where a rare plant had been identified as any protected plant species in the path of hydrilla would likely not survive anyway but it is going to be if we don’t do something about the hydrilla.” so we spot treated it … and were always chasing it.” is to treat the entire northeast bay with the herbicide Sonar in both liquid and crystal form at a very low levels so that the herbicide’s contact time with hydrilla will be extended for a longer period over 60 to 90 days “We know from past experience that it is much easier to kill the plant when it’s small,” Conklin explained green weed before August when it crowns and splits into numerous growing points that are capable of growing at the rate of an inch a day discussion also focused on a pilot program for enhanced cyanobacteria monitoring at Twin Lakes to be headed by TLA director Jessica Swartz a resident of West Twin Lake and biotech executive with Pfizer “It’s very visibly challenging to identify cyanobacteria blooms,” Swartz explained as it can easily be confused with pollen on the surface of the water dead vegetation or different types of algae important phytoplankton in lake ecosystems occur when there is an abundance of sunlight elevated phosphorus levels and warm temperatures Given the current escalation in overly-nutrient rich waterbodies and rising temperatures due to global climate change the frequency of cyanobacteria blooms is increasing and Twin Lakes has occasionally experienced localized blooms the association will be implementing a pilot testing program with greater frequency and at more locations than currently conducted by the TLA’s limnologist The goal of the pilot program is to work out the process of collecting reliable data over time that helps inform whether cyanobacteria blooms are occurring Sample test kits have been ordered for five or six testing sites across East and West Twin TLA president Gant Bogle invited Swartz to give an update at the association’s upcoming June 14 membership meeting at Camp Isola Bella Despite rising lake management costs projected at $500,000 this year Bogle reported that the TLA is in strong shape financially heading into the 2025 season as it received another $75,000 grant from DEEP and $25,000 from the Bates Foundation to support the Watershed Study the town of Salisbury has earmarked $75,000 for Twin Lakes this season and the TLA membership has “responded generously” contributing more than $300,000 since August 2024 when the group started its 2025 fundraising campaign Bogle also encouraged members to attend the May 12 public meeting of the Salisbury Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Commission which is expected to address proposed changes to the Upland Review

never trailed on Saturday, upending the Ontario Reign (30-15-2-1) the Cuda snapped their three-game skid versus the Reign and ended Ontario’s seven-game points streak and four-game winning streak In the second, Ontario failed to clear their end and a tick-tack-toe passing sequence would lead to Thomas Bordeleau (11) roofing an Ethan Cardwell backhand feed past Copley at 4:45 The Barracuda would finish the period by outshooting the Reign 8-7 and carried their 1-0 advantage into the second intermission BOX SCORE but Gabriel Carriere has put together a solid season Last April, the San Jose Barracuda inked the University of Vermont goalie to an amateur tryout agreement, then signed Carriere to a contract for the 2024-25 season. Both Barracuda head coach John McCarthy and an NHL scout were impressed by what they saw of Carriere last year “Scott Fitzgerald followed Gabe at Vermont and had Ryan Miller watch him as well,” Barracuda GM Joe Will explained to San Jose Hockey Now recently Thrives on pressure situations like coming back in games.” Fitzgerald is the San Jose Sharks’ director of player personnel and Miller is a goalie scout. Sharks GM Mike Grier recently gave Fitzgerald credit for signing Anthony Vincent So Carriere could be the next Fitzgerald find The 24-year-old has kept the momentum going in his first full pro season starring for the ECHL’s Wichita Thunder and in spot duty for the Cuda SJHN caught up with the 6-foot-2 netminder recently to talk about his journey from Vermont to Wichita to San Jose You must be a member to access this content View Membership Levels Sharks Give 65-Year-Old Rec League Goalie Harold Robinson a Special Gift Metrics details Sutures from natural and synthetic materials are utilized to close wounds We used mechanical and chemical methods to extract cellulose fibers from cylindrical snake grass (Dracaena angolensis) (Welw the fibers increased in cellulose and water content The extracted fibers exhibited good mechanical properties with weight losses of 7.4% in deionized water (DI) and 13.7% in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) the commercial braided silk sutures (Mersilk braided silk non-absorbable suture) used as a control showed no weight loss the morphology of the fibers remained consistent throughout the 35-day immersion period in either DI or PBS a semi-quantitative analysis of host tissue reactions indicated no significant difference (p > 0.05) between the two suturing materials across all criteria confirming the comparable biocompatibility of cylindrical snake grass fibers to that of commercial silk sutures These findings demonstrate the promising potential of natural cellulose fibers derived from cylindrical snake grass as an alternative source of a non-absorbable surgical suture biomaterial attributed to their outstanding mechanical properties and biocompatibility which is essential for applications where cleanliness and fiber purity are of utmost importance The use of ethanol in this context enhances both environmental and functional aspects of the cleaning process no prior studies have used this fiber for surgical sutures Plant-based cellulose fibers are biodegradable offering an affordable alternative to current biodegradable sutures without compromising performance this paper investigates the properties of cylindrical snake grass fiber extracted using a combination of mechanical and chemical processes for potential suture applications The extracted fibers were analyzed for their chemical composition and mechanical properties and were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) techniques The optimal extracted fibers were further tested for biodegradability and X-ray analysis was used to measure the crystallinity index of both the fibers and commercial silk sutures In vivo studies were also conducted to compare their performance with commercial silk sutures The fibers were extracted from fresh cylindrical snake grass stalks using a hand-operated mechanical decorticator machine (F1) The extracted fibers were cleaned with tap water to eliminate dirt before being air-dried and dirt (F2) were removed from the raw decorticated fibers with a mechanical decorticator The extracted fibers were cut into 35–45 cm lengths and soaked in ethanol for 2 h at room temperature the fibers were dried and stored in an airtight container within a desiccator (F3) A Jeol JSM-6400 scanning electron microscope equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) (Jeol Ltd.

cellulose fibers from cylindrical snake grass for use in suturing applications SEM images confirmed a significant improvement in the fibers’ surface characteristics after the pre-treatment process The cellulose content of the fibers after treatment was measured to be 97.5% the extracted cellulose fibers maintained their mechanical properties after sterilization Although the mechanical properties and weight of the cylindrical snake grass fibers decreased significantly following immersion in PBS their tensile strength surpassed the requisite strength for dependable primary closure cylindrical snake grass fibers exhibited biocompatibility comparable to commercial silk sutures with minimal tissue reaction These findings support the potential application of natural cellulose fibers derived from cylindrical snake grass as an alternative source of a non-absorbable surgical suture biomaterial Further development of these cellulose fibers could involve braiding or twisting them together to create a larger suture Coating them with bioactive substances might enhance their wound-healing properties testing the fiber’s antibacterial properties and applying antibacterial treatments could

up for the Nature Briefing newsletter — what matters in science As anyone who’s ever stepped into the role of caregiver knows it can be one of the most rewarding and demanding roles a person can take on Caregiving is an act of love and sacrifice and it’s a job that too often comes with little recognition—or rest.  The Sunday Paper wants to shine a light on the unsung heroes who show up for the people they love in this crucial role of caregiver That’s why we sat down with Lucille Carriere the Behavioral Health Director and Angie Ruvo Endowed Caregiving Chair at The Cleveland Clinic Whether it’s managing burnout and setting boundaries or finding ways to take a break and sneak in more joy Carriere is on a mission to make sure caregivers know that their wellbeing matters Can you speak to the health impacts of being a caregiver and the importance of caregivers finding ways to take care of themselves?  We know that caregivers play such an instrumental role in helping loved ones who need assistance It is family members who often step into this role it’s well established that family caregivers are particularly vulnerable to negative health outcomes given the demands that are placed on family caregivers when they step into that role What we know is that caregiving can increase vulnerability to negative health outcomes when it comes to both physical and emotional health We see higher rates of chronic disease and inflammatory markers For readers who are feeling the very real impacts of caregiving I think a big part of it is putting words to what you’re feeling—even just recognizing the challenges you’re facing as a result of your job as a caregiver is important.  Caregivers are so involved and entrenched in their role and their focus and attention is on the needs of their loved one and when we look at this over the long term that’s when we see the negative impacts on their health start to show I’m really dealing with a lot more chronic pain,” or “My blood pressure is higher than ever.” It’s almost insidious the way caregiving can create an environment of chronic stress.  And we try to answer this question: What are the demands being placed on you that you feel as though you don’t have the resources to properly address We start there so that we can develop an individualized plan.   A lot of caregivers experience intense emotions Any advice for how to navigate those tricky feelings These emotions have the potential to overwhelm us and can negatively affect you if you don’t develop a plan for how to manage them Maybe that plan includes seeking informal support such as building a community of other caregivers who can provide validation and even help you come up with solutions for some of the day-to-day challenges of caregiving There may be other instances where it’s helpful to seek professional help especially if those emotions are becoming so intense that they’re getting in the way of your everyday life or even affecting the care relationship the job can feel unrelenting and all-consuming What are some of the ways you’ve seen people successfully navigate this demanding job I think one of the keys as you progress through the journey of being a caregiver is to build a tool kit that helps you navigate the day-to-day challenges and your own emotional journey One thread I see amongst caregivers who navigate this role well is that they’re able to recognize their value as caregivers They understand that being a caregiver is one part of their identity among many caregivers can give themselves permission to step away from the caregiver role for brief periods of time Taking a respite and focusing on self-care can be incredibly difficult for caregivers Yet giving yourself permission to take time away—and to see that it’s not self-indulgent but rather critical for your overall health and your ability to manage your caregiver role—is important I also think caregivers who successfully navigate this role are comfortable being uncomfortable caregivers will feel a little bit of angst or discomfort those first couple times that they’re away from their care recipient And it’s important to learn to be okay with that discomfort Those emotions and worries start to settle We know that the majority of caregivers are women Do you have any advice specific to women to help them navigate the work of caregiving we’re subject to the influence of traditional gender roles and norms—and I think that helps us understand why the vast majority of family caregivers are women There’s added responsibility and pressure to be in that nurturing role which can lead us to form unrealistic expectations for ourselves as caregivers.  we may be particularly susceptible to feeling guilt—and that guilt can take over adding all of this additional burden on us emotionally This eats away at that confidence that we’re trying to build with skills and support to create an ideal caregiving situation This is why it’s important to recognize if and where you are struggling as a caregiver Do you find yourself struggling emotionally Or is it more the practical day to day aspects of not having enough time and support When you know where you need assistance and support you’re in a better position to brainstorm solutions for your unique situation.  I think the other aspect of this—and I can’t underscore this enough—is finding a community to feel connection with other caregivers Connecting with others who are on a similar path can go a long way toward helping you feel a sense of validation For those who are reading this who aren’t caregivers but have someone in their life who is what are some ways we can support the caregivers in our lives I think it’s oftentimes so validating for caregivers to hear from others who say to them It’s an acknowledgement that their role is incredible and their strength and courage to persevere under challenging circumstances really does mean a lot.  When it comes to more practical means of outreach try to recognize where you can use your strengths to help “Let me prep a few meals for you.” Maybe you’re great at organization “Can I make a few doctor’s appointments for you or take your loved one to their appointment next week?” We can get into the trap of asking when or how we can help but that can tricky for caregivers to answer.  If you have a caregiver in your life and could use some ideas on how to give them a much-needed break, WAM’s Caregiver Gift Guide is filled with practical tips and advice To continue reading Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper You'll receive instant access to this article

The 24-year-old Ottawa native got a two-way deal from the Sharks on deadline day to make him recall-eligible for the remainder of 2024-25 He’s been in their system on an AHL contract since the end of last season when he signed as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Vermont That paves the way for Carriere to see his name on an NHL roster and earn a big-league paycheck for the day although he’s unlikely to see game action It’s still been a promising season for Carriere who was quite good while on assignment to ECHL Wichita to begin the season until his services were needed in the AHL following Askarov’s injury and a 14-9-2 record in 25 appearances for Wichita Things haven’t gone as well in the AHL with the Barracuda where Carriere has a .893 SV% and 3.13 GAA in 19 showings with an 8-8-3 record Carriere will be a restricted free agent this summer with arbitration rights. He’s likely done well enough in the ECHL to earn a qualifying offer from San Jose, but that remains to be seen. Askarov, who signed a two-year, $4MM extension when the Sharks acquired him from the Predators last August is the only goaltender under contract with San Jose for next season He’s a virtual lock for their opening night roster after again excelling in the AHL and looking strong in his NHL viewings this year (.896 SV% San Jose Sharks| Transactions | Log in Register Pro Hockey Rumors is not affiliated with National Hockey League Register we are reposting this Brock on Your Block interview with the man who was a pillar of the Santa Monica Community Go To https://t.co/oL7U8M4k7B pic.twitter.com/CX9xWkFHAt — Santa Monica Mirror (@SMMirror) May 1,.. pic.twitter.com/owAWpsZtEI — Santa Monica Mirror (@SMMirror) April 30,.. is a Developmental Kindergarten through 8th grade non-profit Sister restaurant to Matú in Beverly Hills Sister restaurant to Matú in Beverly Hills,..

first full pro season posting a 14-9-2 record and .922 Sv% through 25 ECHL games He ranks eighth in the league in save percentage AHL| ECHL| NHL| San Jose Sharks| Transactions This is “The most elegant way to correct class II cases” and treat an impacted canine simultaneously at their Barcelona’s Clinic in September of 2016 to learn more about his unique approach and thinking of implementing invisalign at the same time with the brand new Clear Carriere Motion II since I have been using invisalign simultaneously with other orthopeadic appliances like Herbst I started doing hybrid systems to be more efficient but mainly to address the chief complaint of the patient not the class II or the width of their maxilla in the back We are trained to propose and treat the back of the mouth like class II class III or transverse problems when the patient is coming for the front of the mouth and teeth that they see first Because the techniques we used to propose were always like that sagittal and then finally aligning teeth with braces Now we have treatment options that are much more efficient and very aesthetic-driven like clear aligners I have discovered that there are no longer 3 orders of movement like in fixed braces uprighting and torquing teeth in a sequence with a specific evolution of wires at specific intervals We can now program and design all orders of movement from day 1 with the software of aligner systems can be addressed while we also treat alignment and I also started making upper anterior attachments on the lingual side This female teenager was 15.5 years old when she consulted me She was referred firstly for a lower impacted canine I started this case with Carriere Motion II on the right side to correct the asymmetry I wanted to help her as well for the asymmetry of her bite (class II subdivision) of the face and improve the buccal corridors I have designed this approach that does everything in the beginning: aligning 6 front teeth on upper and treat all lower arch creating space and eventually making dental expansion We can focus on everything right from day one Another huge plus using this combination or hybrid treatment is that the patient will never wear the enamel of the teeth during parafunction since the tooth integrity will be protected during the orthodontic correction No other system can stop or protect this adverse effect of grinding at night and tooth wear I will use Vivera retainers with bite ramps so the patient will stop the inevitable wear that comes from parafunction at night A worn dentition comes with age and this wear can now be stopped when using the aligner system and Vivera retainers I want to create an environment of treatment with the best aesthetic approach I have been using invisalign since 2005 and when the Clear Carriere Motion arrived in 2016 I decided to use that in combination for my class II or class III’s Not only choosing the Clear Carriere Motion with clear aligners but also TREAT and CONTROL right from beginning we avoid the secondary effect of creating diastemas on the 6 upper anteriors when using the Carriere Motion on canines and let free the 4 incisors I can also treat the lower arch from the beginning instead of holding the arch only with a retainer device (Essix) I use the “short” Carriere and bond it on 1st upper pre-molar to the first molar instead of the canines When we bond the Carriere Motion on the first premolar the class II elastics are even less visible and so are the eventual spacings created distal of canines instead of between the 6 upper anteriors All the mechanics are then being pushed one tooth more in the back which is a major plus for all patients searching for an aesthetic approach The treatment is highly efficient because we are doing everything from the beginning: tip-torque-align Bonding the Motion on upper 1st premolars will open the bite in a much more efficient way comparing to bond it on the canines Simply because the secondary effect of the extrusion that comes with the Cl II elastics will be profitable with a tooth that has an occlusal table which the canine doesn’t have The bite opening is even more profitable when we place the class II elastics on the lower second molar Extruding a canine just won’t open the bite I will exceptionally choose to bond it on canines when the case is class II with an open bite tendency treatment time plus number of appointments almost no emergency appointment compared to conventional fixed systems and the pride of offering the best aesthetic combination treatment amongst all the traditional systems Patients are just amazed to see those fast results especially because we are treating their chief complaint from day one They see their front teeth perfectly aligned in the first 6 months and the majority of them are finished within 12-16 months Being able of treating everything first right from day one is a tremendous change in my practice and this nice momentum will occur because motivation is at its peak We simply get the best patient collaboration in the beginning of treatment because they are simply highly motivated I will ask to virtually remove upper 4-5-6-7 and treat only upper 3 to 3 for bilateral class II since the Clear Carriere Motion will be placed on upper 4’s I usually treat the patient with this first phase over 6-8 months of aligners on adults and 4-6 months for teenagers I will also design the attachments of upper six anteriors on the lingual side to elevate the elegancy of this approach I treat upper 3 to 3 and the complete lower arch level Curve of Spee and place button cutouts on lower 7’s I will design class II elastics of Force 1 for the first 4 weeks and then Force 2 elastics for the rest For my second round of aligners (refinement) I will ask Align to virtually remove the clear portion of the Carriere Motion that we will clinically remove at insertion of the refinement The metal piece on the upper first molars will remain and act as an exceptional attachment for 3D control and will never wear out until the end of treatment and still have the option of using some other inter arch mechanics with class II or even in class III elastics Then in this clinical case of unilateral Carriere Motion I also wanted to design the force system to simultaneously treat the impacted lower right canine I will design my refinement ClinCheck with different possibilities of pulling with an elastic I will request a double twisted 0,010 SS ligature connected on a bonded mushroom button to the impacted canine A mushroom button will provide less side effects because the steel ligature can freely rotate around the neck of the button while we pull with the elastic I requested a closed surgical approach and have the surgeon/periodontist make sure that the tooth will show of +1 mobility and This approach is much better than with a gold chain which is too flexible and impossible to hook and change the elastic by the patient Depending on where this ligature will come out on the alveolar crest either buccal or lingual I will design a canine pontic with a gingival convexity of at least 2mm This geometry will create all of the aligners with the best anatomy to hook the elastic easily The elastic can then be hooked at the gingival of this pontic running at the incisal of the aligner and then reaching the steel ligature I will cut and adjust the steel ligature like a ‘’J” hook and I will cover with composite at its end for more patient comfort This design will be when the canine is positioned at lingual If the canine and ligature are clearly buccal I will the make 2 slits on the lingual of the pontic or on some occasions on the lingual of the first premolar if there is a need to create not only an extrusive force but also a distalizing one at the same time The patient will hook the elastic on the aligner first then engage the aligner to eventually stretch the elastic on top of the aligner This will automatically create the pull force we need to extrude and guide the impacted tooth of treating impactions with the boot strap technique from the approach for an upper lateral not tracking well with an aligner We all know that aligner therapy can only push If we can force the extrusion of a non-tracking lateral for 1mm we could surely force the extrusion of an impacted tooth the same way for many millimeters Depending on the total distance to stretch the elastic I will use a 3/16’’ with 3.5 ounces of force for majority of cases We also can use a vector more horizontal to better move mesio-distally or rotate the impacted tooth when we eventually see it clinically The elastic can also be placed directly on the button when it is clinically possible but some clinicians describe this as 12 months of treatment only since we used to need 4-5 weeks of passive aligners in between the intervals of receiving the next series of aligners The final scan will be for my final records and printing Vivera retainers from Align this case demonstrates the opportunity of designing multiple mechanics at the same time and applying them from the first day of treatment This makes a win-win combination for the patient and for the treating doctor the patient was making bi-weekly change of her trays.  Oral Health welcomes this original article Fournier is an invisalign Global Speaker since
