The Lancet Volume 353, Issue 9146 p9-13 January 02, 1999Background: Accumulating data at the time suggested functional benefits of antagonism of beta-adrenoreceptors in patients with heart failure. Multiple specific beta-blockers were being tested in trials. The CIBIS 1 trial found a trend towards 20% lower mortality in the bisoprolol (a highly cardio-selective beta-blocker) group and 30% fewer admissions to hospital for worsening heart failure. The Cardiac Insufficiency Bisoprolol Study II (CIBIS-II) trial was designed to test this evidence further.Patients Eligible patients had New York Heart Association Class III-IV symptoms with LVEF ≤ 35% and were stable on diuretics and ACE-inhibitors. Exclusion criteria included recent MI or coronary intervention, AV block or resting heart rate less 60 bpm and systolic BP < 100 mmHg. Patients already on beta-blockers or with planned therapy with beta-blockers were also not enrolled.Cardiology Trial's remains independent, free of industry ads, due to reader generosity. Please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Baseline Characteristics The mean age of patients was 61 years, 81% male, and 83% Class III. The mean LVEF was 28%. About half the patients had ischemic heart disease, 12% primary dilated cardiomyopathy and nearly 40% had a mixture of valvular heart disease, hypertensive heart disease or unproven ischemic disease.The mean SBP on enrollment was 130 mmHg and resting HR was 80 bpm. The mean duration of heart failure before enrollment was 3.5 years. About 20% had AF at baseline. Nearly all patients were on ACE-I and half were on digoxin.Trial Procedures There was no run-in period. CIBIS II was double blinded. Slightly more than 2,600 patients were randomized 1:1 to bisoprolol or placebo in 274 hospitals across 18 countries.Patients in the bisoprolol group were started at 1.25 mg daily and titrated up weekly to as high as 10 mg daily. The goal was to attempt the highest tolerated dose. Patients were seen every 3 months.Endpoints The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints included all-cause hospital admissions, cardiovascular mortality, combined CV death and CV hospital admissions, and premature treatment withdrawals.The authors estimated a 11.2% mortality in the placebo group and powered the trial to find a 25% reduction in death in the bisoprolol arm over 2 years.Results The trial was sopped early (mean follow-up 1.3 years) after the planned second interim analysis for benefit. The primary outcome of all-cause death occurred in 11.8% in the bisoprolol group vs 17.3% in the placebo arm (HR 0.66 (95% CI 0.54-0.81, p < 0.0001)).Bisoprolol reduced sudden death (3.6% vs 6.3%), all-cause hospitalization (33% vs 39%), CV death (9% vs 12%). Permanent treatment withdrawal occurred in 15% of both arms.The subgroup analysis showed no substantial treatment heterogeneity. The most common dose was 10 mg daily reached in 43% of patients.Conclusion The 34% reduction in death was clinically meaningful and statistically robust. Our confidence in such a large effect size stems from a) previous data on beta-blockers, which found similar effects, b) the 42% reduction in sudden death in the bisoprolol arm and c) the large reductions in all-cause hospitalization. In addition, the trial conduct appeared strong with almost no lost-to-follow up. The lack of run-in period strengthens the external validity of CIBIS II.The same caveats seen in the US carvedilol trial also apply to CIBIS II, namely that patients were ambulatory, outpatients, mostly with Class III symptoms. Patients enrolled in the trial had a mean SBP of 130 mmHg and a resting heart rate of 80. Nearly all patients were tolerating ACE-I and half were taking digoxin. In addition, patients were started on low-dose and gradually titrated higher. The majority of patients were on higher than 5 mg daily.The authors warned against applying these results to non-ambulatory patients with Class IV symptoms, especially if there was recent instability.

Lancet 1999;353:2001-07Background: Beta-blockers directly reduce cardiac contractility and myocardial oxygen demand. For decades, they were avoided in patients with acute and chronic heart failure over concerns they would facilitate decompensation of the condition. The therapeutic cornerstones of treatment, prior to the modern era of clinical trials, focused on managing symptoms and quality of life with diuretics and inotropic agents like digoxin; however, new paradigms were arising that focused on addressing neurohormonal mechanisms of chronic disease that were over-activated in the failing heart. The first major success came with inhibition of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors whose effect on mortality for patients with mild and severe forms of chronic heart failure were demonstrated in the V-HEFT II, CONSENSUS, and SOLVD trials. Additional benefits were demonstrated with the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist spironolactone in the RALES trial. These drug classes primarily work by reducing afterload and volume retention. Appreciating why they work for improving cardiac performance and managing symptoms in heart failure patients is straightforward when we consider the major factors that effect cardiac stroke volume - preload, afterload and contractility; however, it is also noteworthy the effects these agents have on sudden death. How beta-blockade benefits the failing heart is less obvious (outside prevention of sudden death). Mechanistic studies in patients with chronic heart failure have consistently shown that when beta blockers are used for more than 1 month, left ventricular function improves. Beta blocker therapy appears to restore the density of beta-adrenergic receptors after they have been downregulated by the chronic overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system. The first major placebo-controlled RCT to demonstrate a mortality benefit used the non-selective beta blocker carvedilol. The trial was small and not originally designed to test mortality and was stopped early without clearly predefined stopping rules. Furthermore, 8% of total patients selected for participation in the trial were excluded prior to randomization after a 2 week, open-label run-in phase with the study drug, which saw 2% of all patients experience worsening heart failure or death representing 24 patients (the difference in total deaths between groups was 9 when the trial was stopped). The Metoprolol CR/XL Randomised Intervention Trial in Congestive Heart Failure (MERIT-HF) was the first large scale trial designed to test the hypothesis that beta-blockade with metoprolol controlled/extended release (CR/XL) added to optimum medical therapy reduces mortality in patients with chronic systolic heart failure.Patients: Patients were recruited from 313 sites in 13 European countries and the United States. Eligible patients were men and women between the age of 40 to 80 years with symptomatic heart failure (NYHA class II-IV) for >/= 3 months before randomization. They had to be on a diuretic and ACE inhibitor for at least 2 weeks. Other drugs, including digoxin, could also be used. Patients also had to have an EF of /=68 beats per minute.Patients were excluded if: they had an MI or unstable angina within 28 days; had an indication or contraindication for treatment with beta-blocker; beta blockade within 6 weeks; heart failure due to systemic disease (i.e., amyloidosis) or alcohol abuse; scheduled or performed cardiac transplant; an ICD; procedures such as CABG or PCI planned or performed in the past 4 months; 2nd or 3rd degree AV block unless a pacemaker was present; unstable or decompensated heart failure defined by pulmonary edema or hypoperfusion or supine systolic BP 25% deviation of the number of observed versus expected consumed placebo tablets during the run-in period.Baseline characteristics: The mean age of patients was 64 years and approximately 78% were male. Slightly more than 30% of patients were above the age of 70. The average EF was 28%. The average SBP was 130 mmHg and heart rate was 82 bpm. Most patients had mild to moderate heart failure, with 41% in NYHA Class II, 56% in Class III, and only 3% in Class IV. Ischemic cardiomyopathy accounted for 65% of cases and nonischemic causes accounted for 35%. Most patients were on an ACE inhibitor or ARB (95%) and diuretic (90%). Digoxin was used in 63%. Trial procedures: Prior to randomization, the study was preceded by a single-blind, 2-week placebo run-in period. Patients meeting eligibility were then randomized to placebo or metoprolol CR/XL. The starting dose of placebo or metoprolol CR/XL was 12.5 mg daily for patients in NYHA class III or IV and 25 mg daily for patients in NYHA class II. The dose was doubled every 2 weeks until the target dose of 200 mg daily was reached. Patients were followed every 3 months.Endpoints: The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. It was estimated that 3,200 patients would need to be followed for 2.4 years to detect a 30% relative reduction in mortality based on annual mortality rate of 9.4% in the placebo group. This would achieve at least 80% power with a 2-sided alpha of 0.04. Patients were recruited faster then planned and so the final sample size of 3,991 patients increased the power of the study.The study was monitored by an independent safety committee and predefined stopping rules for efficacy were based on all-cause mortality, done when 25%, 50%, and 75% of expected deaths had occurred. Results: The trial was stopped early after the 2nd preplanned interim analysis when 50% of expected deaths had occurred. The mean duration of follow-up at the time of stopping was 1 year. The mean daily dose of metoprolol CR/XL was 159 mg once daily, with 87% receiving 100 mg or more and 64% receiving the target dose of 200 mg daily. In the placebo group, the corresponding values were 179 mg daily, 91% and 82%. The study drug was discontinued permanently in 14% of patients in the metoprolol group and 15% in the placebo group. Six months after randomization, heart rate decreased by 14 bpm in the metoprolol group compared to only 3 bpm in the placebo group. Systolic blood pressure decreased less in the metoprolol group (-2.1 vs 3.5 mmHg).Compared to placebo, metoprolol significantly reduced all-cause mortality (7.3% vs 10.8%; RR 0.66; 95% CI 0.53—0.81). Cardiovascular mortality accounted for 91% of all deaths; with sudden death accounting for 58% and death from worsening heart failure accounting for 24% of all deaths. All 3 of these causes of death were significantly reduced by metoprolol. The relative and absolute effects on death were greatest for patients with NYHA class III heart failure.Conclusions: In this trial of stable patients with mild to moderate chronic systolic heart failure, who were optimized on an ACEi or ARB and diuretic, metoprolol CR/XL significantly reduced all-cause mortality. Approximately 30 patients would need to be treated with metoprolol compared to placebo for 1 year to prevent 1 death. This trial represents a significant win for beta blockade in patients with chronic systolic heart failure. While the NNT in this trial is slightly higher than in SOLVD, it is important to appreciate that follow-up time in SOLVD was more than 3x longer. Limitations to external validity in this trial include the run-in period and stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria. Our enthusiasm is also tempered by early stopping, which has been found to be associated with false positive or exaggerated results but this concern is mitigated to some extent in this trial because the rules for early stopping were clearly defined in the protocol.Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication.

N Engl J Med 1996;334:1349-1355Background Before 1990, the prevailing idea held that the negative inotropy of beta-blockers would harm patients with impaired systolic function. Yet part of the progression of systolic heart failure involved over stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. Norepinephrine can exert adverse effects on the circulation, both directly and indirectly. Smaller trials of beta-blockers in systolic heart failure found trends for benefit with beta-blockers, however, a mortality benefit had not yet been proven. The U.S. Carvedilol Heart Failure Study aimed to study mortality in patients with heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction.Cardiology Trial's Substack remains free of industry ads because of your support. Thank you. Please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Patients The study enrolled 1094 patients with chronic heart failure symptoms for at least 3 months, LVEF ≤ 0.35%, at least 2 months of treatment with diuretics and an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (if tolerated). Treatment with digoxin, hydralazine, or nitrates was permitted but not required.Exclusion criteria were extensive and important to understand. These included any recent major cardiac events or surgery within the previous 3 months, uncorrected valvular disease, active myocarditis, sustained VT or higher degrees of AV block not controlled by pacing, systolic blood pressure of more than 160 or less than 85 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure of more than 100 mm Hg, clinically significant kidney or liver disease or use of calcium-channel blockers, adrenergic agonists/antagonists, or class IC/III antiarrhythmic agents. Patients receiving β-adrenergic agonists or antagonists (presumably for another indication) were not enrolled.Baseline Characteristics The results of this and other beta-blocker trials in heart failure will be clear. One of the most important points for translating this evidence to patients will be the baseline characteristics. It is vital to understand who these patients were.The mean age was 58 years and approximately 76% were male. Most patients had mild to moderate heart failure, with 53% in NYHA Class II, 44% in Class III, and only 3% in Class IV. The etiology of heart failure was nearly evenly split between coronary artery disease (47%) and nonischemic cardiomyopathy (53%). Patients had significantly impaired cardiac function with a mean LVEF of 0.23. The mean six-minute walk distance ranged from 386 to 390 meters. Hemodynamic parameters were relatively stable, with mean systolic blood pressure of 116 mmHg, and mean heart rate of 83-84 beats per minute. Most patients were receiving standard heart failure therapy at baseline, including digitalis (90-91%), loop diuretics (95%), and ACE inhibitors (95%), while approximately one-third (32%) were on direct-acting vasodilators.Trial Procedures Patients were assessed for eligibility during a 3-week screening period during which exercise capacity was assessed with a 6-minute walk test. Notable was that these were outpatients able to complete a 6-minute walk test. Enrollment was stratified to one of four treatment protocols on the basis of the patients' performance on the exercise test: patients able to walk between 426 and 550 m when tested were assigned to the mild-heart-failure protocol; those able to walk between 150 and 425 m were assigned either to the moderate-heart-failure protocol or to a dose-ranging protocol, depending on the location of the study center; and those able to walk only less than 150 m were assigned to the severe-heart-failure protocol.After this base-line testing, all patients received 6.25mg of carvedilol twice daily for two weeks in an open-label run-in period. Those who tolerated this initial dose were then randomized to receive either placebo (n=398) or carvedilol (n=696) on a double-blind basis, in addition to their usual medications.The allocation ratio (carvedilol:placebo) was 2:1 in the mild and severe heart failure protocols and 1:1 in the moderate heart failure protocol. The dose was gradually increased to target levels of 25-50mg twice daily over 2-10 weeks, followed by maintenance therapy for an additional 6 months (12 months for mild heart failure).Endpoints At the time of trial planning, the original intent was safety. That is, to show that carvedilol did not increase mortality. The original intent was to enroll 1100 patients. As smaller trials on beta-blockers were published, the statistical plan included the possibility of beta-blocker benefit. The trialists therefore planned two sided statistical analysis.Cumulative survival curves were constructed as time-to-first-event plots by Kaplan–Meier survivorship methods and differences between the curves were tested for significance by the log-rank statistic with use of a Cox proportional-hazards regression model (which included the protocol as a covariate).Results Median follow-up was only 6.5 months due to early termination for benefit. The patients mean total daily dose of carvedilol was 45±27 mg. Overall mortality was 7.8% in the placebo group vs. 3.2% in carvedilol group. The relative risk reduction from carvedilol vs placebo was 65% (95% CI, 39-80%; p

In this episode of "The Veterinary Viewfinder," hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, tackle a timely topic that every veterinary professional should consider: how inflation, rising tariffs, and supply chain disruptions are affecting big purchasing decisions and clinic growth strategies. As economic pressures mount, practice owners, managers, and technicians alike are asking: Should we buy that new piece of equipment now or wait? Dr. Ward and Beckie walk listeners through real-world examples — from deciding whether to replace aging digital radiology systems to concerns about the availability of surgical lasers and other high-ticket items due to supply chain slowdowns. But this conversation isn't just about purchases. It's about strategy. The hosts encourage clinics to use slower economic periods to introduce new services, such as Class IV laser therapy, advanced dental care, acupuncture, or clinical weight management programs. They emphasize that investing in team training during slow periods, such as additional preventive care like heartworm and intestinal parasite education, can boost morale and better position a practice for future growth. This episode is a must-listen for veterinary professionals who want to stay ahead of economic uncertainty, make informed financial decisions, and build stronger, more resilient veterinary teams for the future.

Do you know a pet who is recovering from surgery or limps, or winces when touched or has become less interactive or seems to be in pain? Hot laser (which is warm not hot) is a drug free, pain free, trauma free course of treatments that helps pets heal and reduce inflammation and scarring with no side effects. Laurie Mason describes some pet patients and how sometimes dogs and cats with behavior issues improved their attitude and habits when treatments made the pet happier and less pain. Class IV laser can help with chronic pain too including cat declaw surgery ramifications! Deborah explains why cats should never be declawed because it is the amputation of joints and not just a manicure.

What should the occlusion look like when you are restoring or replacing a Class IV restoration? This question is so basic yet so complex which is often not talked about enough. We go on all these composite courses and talk about the layering, but we don't talk enough about how to put the principles of occlusion into action. In this episode, Dr. Ibrahim will be talking about how Class IV Restorations can be optimised to get a long term predictable result. We also shared the two mechanical failures in dentistry and the step-by-step process of a Class IV restoration with occlusion in mind. https://youtu.be/JgbO6PDjSOg Watch PDP150 on Youtube The Protrusive Dental Pearl: Occlusion Whisperer – Ask your patient to bite together and listen – in a “good” occlusion you should hear lots of tooth-to-tooth contact, whereas a thud indicates an issue.

T3 and Ted Jr. got together to talk next year's milk pricing, and they made pretty quick work of the topic. Both have bearish outlooks to start the year. After Q1, their predictions start to diverge. How far down will milk prices go? Will they jump back up above $20 next year? When? How will the market respond to recession? The duo works through Class III and Class IV supply and demand to come up with some answers. T3 expects macroeconomics to stifle demand, and Ted Jr. puts his faith in butter to maintain its position as a staple spread. They skim the surface of an exports discussion, with China in lockdown but looming. Fifteen minutes and a friendly wager later, they settle on a confident outlook for most of next year. T3: Alright. So, Dad, you tend to be bullish, especially compared to me, but lately it seems to me that you've been a little bit more bearish than me. So since we're sitting here in the middle of November, what do you think markets are going to be like in 2023? What are your thoughts right now? Ted Jr: Well, I think it's rather scary that I'm the bearish one right now and evidently you're not. T3: I'm not saying that I'm not bearish. I'm just saying I'm not as bearish as you are. Ted Jr: First of all, let's look at the overall marketplace. We've got production now on the upside in the US. Cow numbers are up. Production's up over 1%. We're heading into a recession. I think that's generally an accepted dogma. But the international environment is also changing. The European production is starting to mosey up a little bit. And evidently, feed is moving out of the Ukraine and feed prices are not on an upward trajectory anymore. I'm not saying that the feed prices are going to go down. I guess, the point that I'm trying to make is that the dichotomy has ratcheted up to a little bit lower level. So if we go back a couple of years, pulling numbers from the air, the lower level was probably Class III somewhere around $15. And today with the corn price doubling or more, I'm going to argue that the lower level is probably somewhere around $19 on the Class III. That translates to cheese prices around a $1.90 and it translates to for whey prices to be somewhat higher than they are now, which my suspicion is even though China's got their own ration economic problems, they're still going to need to feed pigs. And then the butter market is going to be stronger than normal, but it's certainly not going to be $3. So that also would translate to a Class IV price somewhere in the $19 range. So look at where we are. We're up limit today and evidently people are buying cheese and I don't really get the feeling that cheese is all that short. I think filling the pipelines for Christmas is more than likely still the reason it's going up. But with butter and with cheese and other dairy products, when we get to Christmas time, as far as I can see, it's over. So I'm not arguing that the bottom is going to drop out and we're going to get down into the lower teens, but I'm arguing that the market is going to settle to what I consider a lower ratchet level in the $19 range. So that's the extent of my bearishness. There's obviously other things that could happen. I mean, you have a war going on in Europe and maybe the feed price situation changes and maybe a lot of cows expire and so on. T3: And actually I would agree with you. I think we'll be right about in there too. So, Dad, here's my question for you. I've got my Class III and Class IV calculator spreadsheet out. So what do you think the butter market's going to be in the first quarter? Ted Jr: I'm going to say $2. T3: What do you think the nonfat market will be? Ted Jr: It's hard to say bucking a quarter $1.30 maybe, somewhere in the area. T3: I'll put in $1.30. So if we have $2 butter in 1.30 non-fat, you're talking a Class IV price of $17.48. Let's go ahead and round it up to $17.50. Now in this case,

What else is happening on hump day? The Class IV milk price finally changed, it's microneedling day and we are headed to Stillwater this weekend!

Geoff Vanden Heuvel of Milk Producers Council and Sarina Sharp of Ag Business Solutions and Daily Dairy Report joins T3, Gus and Ted Jr. for a discussion on California water today and moving forward. Geoff enlightens the group on localized production cost challenges and shares some anecdotes about farmers dealing with expensive feed. Sarina and Gus talk about regional challenges to expansion and the adverse economics limiting dairy in much of the eastern U.S.  T3 sees cause for Class IV prices to stay high, and, after a lively conversation, the group shares a healthy laugh at Ted Jr.'s expense. T3: Welcome everybody to the Milk Check. This month we've got two guests. Welcome Sarina Sharp with the Daily Dairy Report in Ag business and also Geoff Vanden Heuvel. Geoff, why don't you quickly introduce yourself? Geoff Vanden Heuvel: Well, Ted, it's great to be here. I'm a faithful listener of the Milk Check, so it's fun to see you guys by the power of Zoom. I'm not sure if our listeners will see that. But I was a dairy farmer in Southern California for 39 years, and at 2018, urbanization took my dairy. I was very involved in water and milk pricing issues as part of the Milk Producer's Council, which is Dairy Farmer Trade Association board. And when I sold my cows in 2018, I was going to move to the Central Valley because I had kids and grandkids here. Given my experience in water policy, the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act had just been passed in California and was being implemented throughout the Central Valley. And Milk Producers Board asked me to be the dairy industry's guy on water supply, and the implementation of what we call SGMA, Sustainable Ground and Water Management Act. So since 2018, mid-year, that's what I've been focusing a lot of my time on. That particular Act is designed to be implemented at the local level. So what that meant was I needed to identify where we had dairies in the Central Valley that were in what the state had designated as critically overdrafted basins. That turns out that's pretty much all of the Central Valley. It's critically overdrafted. There were dozens of new groundwater sustainability agencies that had been formed as a result of that law. They were all in the early stages of organization, and then gathering data, with a goal of putting plans together for how they were going to bring their area into basically balance or sustainability. So in the course of that I cover, we have dairies from south of Bakersfield all the way up to Stockton that are in overdrafted basins. That's about a little over 200 miles. So north to south, I spent a lot of time on the road. But that's what I do, is focus on water supply for the California Dairy Industry. T3: Well thanks Geoff and welcome. Dad, I know you've got a question that you're burning to ask, so I'll let you go ahead and start it off. Ted Jr: I've bet every time you open the papers these days you're seeing pictures, and hearing dissertations on how miserable the water supply is in California. Just yesterday I picked up the Sunday edition, and I had pictures of parched land, perfectly brown, not a bit of green on it, but the last number we have on milk production is up 2.5%. So how do we manage to have all these dire predictions of drought? And we've had predictions about drought for 50 years. And every time we hear it, the milk production in California goes up. Is this the year that all of a sudden we're going to have a drought that really counts? Let me pose that question to you as a matter of getting the ball rolling. Geoff: I hope not. We would hope that we can manage our way through it. But it's real. If we don't get some rain and snow, and we don't have any surface water, I think we are going to begin to bite down on the water availability, particularly in the Southern San Joaquin. Because those water districts there now, the groundwater sustainability agencies that I've described to you,

Authenticity, humanity, and integrity are just a few of the words to describe the two gentlemen on this show and the direction that the conversation went in. When it comes to pairing guests for the Culture Crush Business Podcast, we pair strategically. We tend to pair a company that has a great culture with a company that offers resources to improve culture. For this show, each of the two companies that were on the show fit into both of these categories. BOTH companies are growing a great culture while ALSO supporting companies with improving their company culture. This conversation started strongly in the direction and importance of DEI in the workplace and supporting individuals in being their authentic selves in a psychologically safe work environment. Psychological safety is a shared belief held by members of a team that the team is safe for interpersonal risk taking. It gives the employees the opportunity to disagree and still be supported in the workplace. This was part of the bigger conversation of things that leaders and companies can do to support the mental health of their employees. Companies can't just talk about supporting mental health- they actually need to take action on it. We walked away with tons of examples on how to do this!! Ask the right questions What am I doing and what is the company doing that can be improved on? How are you doing professionally? How are you doing personally? Have open visibility to what goes on the calendar Therapy sessions Dentist Appointments Doctor appointments A block on the calendar for self care Support from leadership to the staff in being their own authentic self Provide a stipend that allows them additional mental health support Allowing them the time for self care during the work day Letter from the CEO articulating the importance of mental health Putting in boundaries for when emails can be sent to the staff When trying to find out more info about Hummingbird Humany, head to their website www.hummingbirdhumanity.com and go to the resources tab where they offer free resources to the Hummingbird community.

With August's milk production report in mind, the trading team gathered for another monthly mass balance and charting meeting. This month, though, we were blessed by two special guests: Steve Spencer and Vuko Karov from Freshagenda. Don kicked the meeting off by modeling domestic milk production and mass balance expectations for the rest of the year, with special focus on Q4. Then, we handed the reigns over to Steve and Vuko, who guided us through a workshopping version of their Dairy Trade Simulator (DTS). The Freshagenda team tested some ‘What if?' questions on their model and argued that market fundamentals suggest that we should see cheese futures over $2 soon. T3 countered with some points about difficult domestic freight and contractual obligations forcing cheese from high-growth areas. Then, to shift perspective entirely, Jacob suggested that historic correlations driving market fundamentals could break, and that there may be reason to feel bullish Class IV and bearish Class III after all. T3: Welcome back to The Milk Check. This month we return to our mass balance discussion with Don Street and the rest of the trading gang, and this time we have a couple of special guests: Steve Spencer and Vuko Karov from Freshagenda, an Australia-based supply chain and market analysis firm with some great data about how milk production and pricing may evolve in 2023. Welcome to this discussion, let's get started. Steve: Thank you. Vuko: Thanks so much. Steve: Thanks for having us in your meeting. We appreciate the opportunity to join the discussion, let's have some fun and see what it brings. T3: That sounds great. So Don, why don't you go ahead and lead us off. Don: All right, here we go. Balance update, August, 2022. So in spite of Ted being more accurate than I am on these projections and winning bourbon from me, I just want to say that if USDA would get the cow numbers right the first time, I'd be much more accurate. But June was revised downwards to where it was flat. I had actually had a negative 0.02 prediction, so I think that's reasonably close. And for Q2, which we finished down an average of 4/10 for a percent on milk. July finally goes positive. If that holds through the revision, when August is announced again, I was 2/10 of a percent over the 3/10 that was actually reported. Steve and Vuko, these are all 24 state numbers, not national numbers. I think I'm reasonably dialed in spite of the revisions, which brings us to August. I'm, at this point, thinking we'll be up 1% on milk, but the bottom line is that the cow herd will, in the couple of months, be higher than prior year instead of lower than prior year. Instead of being 60 or 78,000 cows below a year ago in August, when we see the numbers, we're going to be 25 to 30,000 cows below a year ago. And in September, we're going to more or less be equal. And then we start to see whether this grows or not. We're going to have more cows than we did in the prior year, which will contribute to higher milk production numbers. I've tried to recast this a little bit to just show you the impact, because June, July, we're up 8/10, one full percent on milk per cow, but fewer cows is the offset. In August, I think we'll be a little bit higher, mostly because of the poor performance of August '21. So I think we'll be up 1% on milk for August, but then I don't want to say that we're just going to continue to move higher but these changes in milk per cow are going to be 1.2, 1.3, maybe 1.4, but we're going to be something over 1%. And then you start to add more cows. And this is of whole certainty, unless we all of a sudden see a shrink in the herd that we don't anticipate because slaughter rates still seem to be lower, not higher. You're going to wind up with 1.4% more milk, maybe as much as 1.8 but somewhere in that range, but it'll be a marked difference than what we've experienced so far this year. Maybe just to take a look at components.

On this remarkably bullish episode of The Milk Check, the Teds bring in T.C. Jacoby & Co's fluid milk team to talk about the market from their perspective. Gus Jacoby, president of fluid dairy ingredients and dairy support, leads the discussion with help from milk marketing manager Greg Scheer and fluid sales manager Jared Miklasz. Discussion lingered on tightness in the market, which points to a Q4 where we are short on milk domestically and internationally. Ted Jr. suggests the market is underestimating its own upside potential after being spoiled by long milk for about ten years. Gus agrees, and T3 teases the topic of discussion for the podcast's 50th episode. T3: Welcome to the Milk Check podcast. Today, we have our fluid group joining us. While my dad and I like to get on this podcast and just debate back and forth what we think markets are doing, picking out certain issues, it's Gus and Jared and Greg and Anna, who really are in the trenches, working with the dairy farmers in the different processors on the fluid side that we work with. And we thought it would be a great idea to have them lead the discussion today. And so I'd like to welcome Greg Scheer, who leads our Milk team, Jared Miklasz, who leads our Cream and UF Milk team, and my brother, Gus, who runs our fluid group. And really just give us their analysis of what they're seeing in the market today. With that Gus, I'll just turn it over to you. Gus: All right. Well, thank you, Teddy. We have a very interesting marketplace at this moment in time. A number of months now we've seen contraction, but with respect to milk production. But we've also seen some other areas, some manufactured liquids that have been pretty dynamic. And I guess, adverse for some of those folks who are looking for solids in one way, shape or form. And then we have that dynamic of Class IV and Class III, where Class IV is hovering above Class III which presents some challenges as well as opportunities for folks within our industry. But just to start with, I think what we want to mention is that at this moment in time, we've all seen the most recent milk production report showing that April was down a percentage point in milk production. We had a year ago, nine and a half million cows in the US dairy herd. And now we have 100,000 less cows in the US dairy herd. So that puts things in perspective for what we're dealing with and what we're looking at as we get out of this spring flush so to speak and into the second half of the year when folks, I think are a little bit more concerned about finding the solids they need to fill orders. To begin with, I think the Eastern half of the country is tight milk. And in addition to tight milk, we also have a major cheese plant that has come online in Michigan that has soaked up a bunch of butter fat, and that presents a prospect for cream supplies as well. And then you have the freight impact of traveling product throughout our country, whether it be farm milk and the impact on the producer there, whether it be manufactured liquids and the impact on folks trying to get solids from one part of the world to the other. I think there's a lot of good information we can get from our leadership team here. And I think the best place to start is with Greg in milk, and then we'll move into some other areas. Greg. Greg Scheer: Thanks, Gus. Yeah. And like you said, milk production down 1%. If you would've told us that milk prices would be where they're at today and we'd have declining milk, you'd say you're crazy. But you have the high cost of feed, the high cost of inputs, limited heifer supply, all those factors. And in some regions, a quota system that has really limited our milk production. Most years, we would see a long market. When we're getting into May and Memorial weekend, right around the corner into June, it's less long than we normally see at this time. You just have tightening milk market where milk is not ...

On this two-part edition of The Milk Check, the Jacoby team lets listeners in on a monthly mass balance meeting. The meeting splits neatly into two episodes, one led by Global Strategy Director Don Street and the other led by Head of Risk Management and Trading Strategy Jacob Menge. In part one, we evaluate milk production data and forecast what Q2 will look like in terms of overall milk production and class allocation. Ted disagrees with Don about supply-side expectations moving forward, and Don puts forward a modification to his predictive model. In part two, we will zoom out to talk inflation, interest rates and the macroeconomic factors impacting dairy markets. Jacob presents a bird's eye view of various commodities markets and interesting trends to note in dairy and beyond. T3: Hi everybody, and welcome to the Milk Check. This month, we recorded our monthly mass balance and charting meeting. It is a monthly meeting that we hold internally where our whole trading team gets together. We look at the milk production and cold storage reports, and we look at some of the technical charts and we share our opinions about what we think this data is telling us and what we think this data is predicting about what'll happen in the future. We had some really interesting discussions this month. I think you'll really enjoy eavesdropping into these discussions. It was a long meeting but it was a really good meeting. So, what we've decided to do this month is split it into two parts. The first part is Don leading the discussion about the mass balance. What we think is happening in Class I milk, Class II milk, Class III milk, and Class IV milk. It was a great discussion. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for listening in. Don Street: All right. You should see the PowerPoint for Mass Balance, April 2022. At this point, not completely, but all the data for Q1 that really counts we have. We'll get more early next week with dairy products. But we have it and now we're really at the point of what will Q2 hold. And I'm going to walk you through a couple of scenarios on that, and then we'll look for your guys' input. So again, Q1s in the book, down 9/10ths of a percent on milk for the quarter. But clearly a steady progression towards trying to get to zero change year over year on milk. January was the big down, February less, March even less. We still have this reality that Q2 of last year was up 4% on average. And I think that's going to be difficult to be positive over it. It's just a question of how much negative under that will be. But nonetheless, with these improving milk numbers, my projection is getting stronger. So, a month ago I thought we'd be down 1.7% for the quarter. Now I'm at 1.4% negative. You could argue, well, it's all in the same ballpark and I would concede that point. But nonetheless, two months ago I think I was talking over that we would have a reduction of over 2%. So, when you add two months together, the second quarters not looking as dire as I once thought, but I still don't think the market's anticipating this very well. And to maybe add that, had several people tell me in Chicago this week that they thought we'd be even on milk production year over year by the end of the quarter. I just don't think that's possible. And mainly it's because of cow numbers. Now, USDA really threw a curve when they restated the February numbers last week, adding about 10,000 cows that apparently shouldn't have been taken out of the herd. But I've now taken this forward projection and trying to listen to all the voices that will not see a strong change in cow numbers, but we should be past bottom. So, I've just added or increased this herd at 5,000 head a month from March. March is a known number until it's revised. So, you can just see this as you go down on the 2022 column. It's 5,000 head more a month. And that puts Q2 down on cows at about 0.9%. So, two months ago, that was 1.3% down,

In the 'immediate' technique (called Immediate because you will manage this straight after the palatal wall build up) you can use some form of an interproximal matrix (posterior sectional matrix used vertically, for example). The tip here is to roll the composite between your gloved fingers first, roll it into a sausage, then you will then place that 'sausage' into the interproximal area. This will help you get a better interproximal shape. Inspired by Dr Dipesh Parmar from Mini Smile Makeover course.

CardioNerds, Daniel Ambinder and CardioNerds Academy Program Director, Dr. Tommy Das (Cardiology fellow, Cleveland Clinic), Dr. Jacqueline Latina (Structural heart fellow, Johns Hopkins) discuss aortic stenosis and the story of TAVR from both the historical perspective and in terms of future directions with Dr. Jon Resar, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Adult Catheterization Laboratory and Interventional Cardiology at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. This episode is brought to you for Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy Intern, Shivani Reddy. As many as 11 million Americans have heart valve disease (HVD)—a potentially disabling and deadly disease—yet 3 out of 4 Americans know little to nothing about heart valve disease.

Pearls and Quotes - Aortic Stenosis and the Story of TAVR In the previous century, patients with severe aortic stenosis who were treated “medically” had 50% mortality over 2 years after developing symptoms. Balloon aortic valvuloplasty was initially touted as extremely “efficacious” for aortic stenosis but follow-up studies showed that the improvement in symptoms were not durable, and long-term prognosis was dismal.The PARTNER Trial started enrolling in 2007 in extreme risk patients – patients who were not surgical candidates. In 2010, the PARTNER trial was published and TAVR blew away the “standard of care” in inoperable patients at the time, cutting outcomes in half (composite of death and repeat hospitalization). The PARTNER trial studied balloon expandable intra-annular valve implantation. The CoreValve trial studied self-expanding supra-annular valve implantation and was published in 2014.The “Heart Team” approach entails collaborative decision making between cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to personalize management for patients.Both intra-annular and supra-annular valves show non-inferior outcomes to surgery in intermediate and low risk patients.Revascularization prior to TAVR is an evolving arena; the trend has been interventionalists performing fewer PCIs prior to TAVR given the benefit is not clear if angina is not a prominent symptom. Show notes - Aortic Stenosis and the Story of TAVR (TAVR/TAVI are using interchangeably) CardioNerds Aortic Stenosis, updated 1.20.21 1. In the 1990s, patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) who were deemed to be at high surgical risk would weigh the risks of surgery and prolonged recovery. Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty (BAV) was first performed by Dr. Alain Cribier in 1986. The technique was based on the foundation of pulmonary valvuloplasty performed initially in 1982 by Drs. Jean Kan and Bob White, and mitral valvuloplasty in 1984. BAV was initially touted as an efficacious cure for aortic stenosis, but unfortunately it had a high restenosis rate as well as high risks for stroke and vascular complications (no closure devices at that time) with an overall poor long-term prognosis. Balloon aortic valvuloplasty was primarily used for decompensated Class IV heart failure in non-surgical candidates. 2. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR/TAVI) was developed and first performed in human in 2002.(1) This was performed by Dr. Alain Cribier in France in 2002, initially by trans-septal approach and then by retroaortic approach. Here is a representative diagram of the procedure. Figure: Transcatheter Aortic-Valve Replacement. The transcatheter valve is positioned at the level of the native aortic valve during the final step of valve replacement, when the balloon is inflated within the native valve during a brief period of rapid ventricular pacing.

With milk production low and showing no sign of turning anytime soon, the dairy industry is bullish about 2022.  What type of bull market are we in for? That's up for debate. Inflation and continued logistics issues have roles to play. Ted and T3 agree on the strength of Class IV milk and the shock buyers are in for next year. They disagree on most everything else, including the proper way to do math.  In the end, Ted enlists Anna as reinforcement. Ted Jr: I'm not sure what the right approach is. Sort of a rerun of what we had the other day with regard to the potential, the upside potential of the markets right now might be useful. We've got a dichotomy between hedgers and actual market demand, I think, which is useful to note. T3: I would agree with that. Ted Jr: I don't want to profess to be an expert of the hedging side of the issue, but the other side of the issue is the overall world marketplace is very strong. We have a continuing decline in milk production because of a number of factors, but primarily high feed costs worldwide. Barring some economic, call it black swan or whatever you want to call it, the market for dairy products is going to be a heck of a lot higher than it is right now. It could be a lot higher than the current world market price. I know interest rates right now are low, but we have dairymen basically getting out of the business, and when interest rates go back up, it's going to be that much harder for them to get back in. At the expense of sounding too bullish, my position right now is very bullish. If we look at the gross returns on the GDT and the world markets and the continuing decline in production in Europe, $27, $28 of gross, not net. That transflates to the dairy farmer in the $22, $23 range. Right now, the futures market is two and three and four dollars lower than that. Now, we've got a couple of cycles to go through before we get to anything, but we're in the middle of, or actually, at the end of stocking for Christmas and Super Bowl. We're supposedly going to see some sort of a decline after those markets are fully satiated. Whether we see it or not I guess remains to be seen. Months later, we have the flush right before us, and whether or not that's going to actually amount to anything, that remains to be seen, too. But we have a scenario which is extremely strong as far as the future is concerned, and even if we do have some blips in there, for the reasons that I just described, odds are we're going to look at pretty strong markets the second half of next year. A lot of things can go wrong: economic collapse, stock market collapse, a resurgence of the virus. I mean, all of those things are threats, but from my perspective I think those threats are pretty distant. Tell me about it from the standpoint of the futures market, which is considerably lower than that. T3: So, I would look at it this way, and I've been pretty consistent on this topic. I think you can make the case that we could touch $25 cwt for Class IV milk at some point next year. Now, I'm not going to say it's the second half of the year because I think markets can be anticipatory, and so they often tend to find their peak before the real problem occurs, but I do think it's possible when you're talking about butter and you're talking about nonfat dry milk, you can plausibly create a market scenario where we've got milk in the $25 cwt. At the same time, though, I struggle with math that would bring Class III milk over $20 cwt. I'm just not as bullish Class III as I am Class IV, for a number of different reasons. My approach to looking at next year is that just because the demand is in the second half of the year doesn't mean our highest prices are going to be in the second half of the year. I think that the market is already bullish. If you talk to marketers of dairy products today, almost everyone is bullish. Not the buyers, the sellers,

Mastering Verbal Skills – Part 2 Episode #356 with Jenni Poulos In part one of Mastering Verbal Skills, Kirk Behrendt and Jenni Poulos discussed how words carry weight and why language matters in your practice. In today's lesson, Jenni explains why listening also matters and how critical it is for mastering verbal skills. With the templates they provide, you can learn how to listen to and answer some of the most difficult questions patients ask! For more on active listening and communication, listen to Episode 356 of The Best Practices Show! Main Takeaways: Listening is also a crucial part of verbal skills. Improving verbal skills will open up possibilities. Language helps differentiate and communicate your practice's strengths. You can communicate value to your patients using appropriate language. Use the “feel, felt, found” concept to discuss difficult patient questions. Quotes: “What we say matters. How we say it matters. How we lean in, and how we're curious, and how we listen matters. And listening is as big a part of verbal skills as is speaking. It affects our relationships with our team members. It affects our relationships with our patients, our case closure, the predictability of our days, our lives. So, it's super important.” (1:49—2:18) “[A typical comment from patients is], ‘I'm only going to do it if it's covered.' And we have to move patients past this limiting belief that their insurance exists to provide them with optimal health, because we believe that, ‘If my insurance says that I can't have it paid for, then I don't need it,' and that could not be farther from the truth.” (3:55—4:18) “Our understanding of insurance is completely rooted in the way that medical insurance functions. Medical insurance and dental insurance do not function in the same way at all. So, we want to differentiate by changing the language. We don't want to call it “insurance” because it doesn't function how you understand insurance. It's not a full-loss item. It's a benefit that will assist, but it's not going to cover everything. It was never intended to, nor will it, ever.” (5:11—5:48) “People are advocating to use their benefits because they have them. I don't want you to look at their benefits as the enemy, just how do we communicate the way that we do it in our office, the way that we utilize benefits, in order to move patients through to acceptance.” (6:33—6:51) “Write this down. It's a great phrase and it will help you with this question. ‘What I want you to understand, Mrs. Jones, is that your benefits exist to help you maintain, but not to obtain, oral health.' That's a great way to think about them.” (7:02—7:21) “People pay for the things that they value. We will invest in what we value. I like to joke about this, but I say this with my team, ‘Oh, your Coach bag goes so great with your Class IV perio disease.' I have invested thousands of dollars in a purse. If I value my health, I probably will invest an equal amount in that. So, it's important that we're able to convey value and help patients see value and lead them to the value that is there. And if you can believe it and confidently communicate it, the patients will have an easier time seeing it.” (11:14—11:56) “People may not know this, but [insurance companies] actually can come back and say — up to a year later — ‘Hey, we overpaid, and we need some money back.' You may preauthorize, get payment, and be told in eight months, ‘I need money back.' So, there is never a guarantee of payment from the dental insurance companies. Never tell your patients that there is a guaranteed payment. It is always only an estimate. Even after the check has cleared the bank, it is still not a guarantee.” (12:05—12:39) “Unless your patient, and there are instances in which they are part of an exclusive provider organization where they must see an in-network provider to get any level of benefit — and those types of plans do exist — for the most part, they are able to...

Slipping milk production and residual COVID-related volatility could cause something truly rare in dairy: An average Class IV price for 2021 that's higher than the average for Class III. This last happened in 2013, when the market was powered by a dramatic increase in exports. Ted and T3 explain why the financing model for massive new cheese plants is a partial contributor to the phenomenon and try to predict farmer and agency responses. T3: Let me start by throwing a couple of overall milk production numbers out, so we can establish what we think milk production is going to do in general in 2022. So the challenge with talking about milk production, especially when you're talking about it in terms of year over year right now, is we're measuring against last year. And last year was the pandemic, and everything was a mess, and I'm not sure if measuring against last year with all its volatility really helps us understand the real situation. So I went back really quickly, and I actually calculated what milk production has done so far this year relative to 2019 rather than 2020, and it was kind of interesting. In the first quarter, milk production in 2021 was up 4.3% over 2019, so a little over two percent a year of milk production growth. In the second quarter of 2021, milk production was up over 2019, 4.3%, the exact same number as the first quarter, and a little over two percent. The third quarter, which we just wrapped up a little under a month ago was only up 3.1% over 2019. Now the fourth quarter of 2020 was up 2.9% over 2019, but it's starting to look like we might go negative for the fourth quarter of this year — which means on a two year basis, we may be up less than 2.9% over a two year basis. And so when you're comparing everything against 2019, it becomes a lot more clear that we're seeing overall milk production shift into an almost negative decline, rather than measuring against the year over year noise that we've been trying to figure out when we're dealing with a pandemic year last year from 4.3% to 4.3% to 3.1%. And I'm going to guess in the fourth quarter we may end up at 2.7%, so it's clearly declining at an increasing rate. Ted Jr: I think it would be useful to discuss the dynamics of that. And referring back to Jacob's chart where he charted all the prices for agricultural commodities: corns, soybeans, sorghum, cotton, you name it. And then in the same chart, he included the milk pricing and it showed 25-30% increase in agricultural commodity prices but only a nominal increase in milk pricing. It was very stark. We have had increases in production that basically have caused us to have inventory, up to now at least in both powder and cheese. Class I sales have been less than lucrative. They've been declining on an annual basis. We've built new cheese plants. And when we build a cheese plant, we're building a multi hundred million dollar plant these days which requires that it be kept full. Cheese plants need to be balanced just the same as class I plants need to be balanced. The difference comes out in the class IV market, and class IV is butter and powder. So we look at the last month's results, then we see that there is in the last several months a decrease in production. And I think the reason for that is probably pretty simple: the costs of making milk have not warranted increasing the production for the milk. We have increased feed costs. We've got increased maintenance costs on equipment, everything, land, you name it. The cost of running a dairy have gone up. It doesn't make any difference whether you're a big dairy or a small dairy, but I would guess that the costs of running a small dairy percentage-wise are a heck of a lot greater than running a big dairy, where you've got economies of scale. This dynamic, based on what we're seeing with inflation and so on, is likely going to continue. What we'll see, I believe, will be increases in a butter and powder particularly.

Everyone loves the Jason Smithson-esque class IV composite done with a gorgeous wax up and beautifully layered composites placed with precision using a polyvinyl stent. These "double half caff mochaccinos with a twist and extra sprinkles can be found all over Instagram and Facebook groups. They're awesome and everyone should learn to do them. But quite often a case lands in your schedule that doesn't allow you to do the prep work for this. Sometimes you have to settle for a vanilla latte. And vanilla lattes can be delicious! Al gives you his recipe for a consistent and satisfying "vanilla latte" class IV that can make you and your patient happy with a quick and simple appointment!

What would you do if you went in above your waders on a swift creek? How about if someone fell out of your boat in the tailout above a Class IV rapid? What is a Class IV rapid? We ask all of these questions of Jason Shreder, owner of Missoula-based whitewater business, Zootown Surfers. Shreder has boated many of the country's more dangerous and exciting rivers, and traveled the globe seeking watery adventure. Jason also happens to be a fly angler who "flogged" his way into 24 steelhead on a trip to Alaska!  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lauren-karnopp3/support Learn more about your ad choices.

The Dental Hacks are joined by Dr. Gregg Kinzer to discuss continuing education now that we've had a year or so of the pandemic. Some topics we covered: Spear started back to live CE in September 2020 Why workshops are perfect in person CE...layered learning What does Spear look like post-pandemic? (spoiler...there are "Popemobile" style plexiglass lab benches!) The pandemic has given workshop attendees WAY more face time with Gregg and the rest of the instructors! Some pandemic changes are going to stay! Virtual seminars are likely going to stay. Spear will be virtual and IRL. Study clubs will change as well...there will be live virtual study club events! Spear Practice Solutions have a lot of statistics about "post shutdown" opening. Most practices opened strong! Also people feel safe at the dental office! What does the diagnosis/treatment planning workflow look like in Gregg's office? Co-discovery and take photos! How does Gregg handle the "difficult patient?" (poor opening, giant tongue, etc) Who are the people that Gregg automatically won't treat? (spoiler: follow your gut!) Gregg proposes a dental version of "The Truman Show."

Hashtag 59's Season 3 Podcast is 50 Episodes long and each episode will provide SIX outdoor adventures in each of the US's 50 states. We are doing these episodes in ABC Order of the states and episode forty-eight is West Virginia. The goal is to give you ideas and opportunities to experience outdoor adventure anywhere and everywhere in the United States of America. Here's our list for West Virginia: 1. Go white-water rafting on the New & Gauley Rivers: White water rafting is one of the top things to do in West Virginia because there are world-class rapids. The New River features the Upper New, suitable for beginners, and the Lower New, with Class IV rapids that take you past the New River Gorge Bridge. The Gauley River is one of the most popular for experienced rafters, with Class V rapids and the nickname the "Beast of the East." Rapids are most intense here in the fall. 2. Visit Coopers Rock State Forest: Coopers Rock State Forest is named for Coopers Rock, a series of sandstone cliffs above the Cheat River Gorge. Legend has it that a fugitive hid near what is now the overlook. A cooper by trade, he continued to make and sell barrels from his mountain hideout. The forest proper was established in 1936. Many of its structures, including the main overlook, picnic shelters and superintendent’s house, were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression. Eleven of these structures have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Coopers Rock State Forest Loop is one of the most popular trails at 4.8 mile loop trail 3. Bridge Day on New River Gorge: Bridge Day began in 1980 to commemorate the completion of the picturesque bridge over the New River Gorge. There were 5 BASE jumpers that year. Now, every 3rd Saturday in October, at the peak of the vibrant fall foliage, hundreds come to leap. There are often more than 800 jumps. 4. Climb the East Coast’s Most Remote Peak. The only “true peak” on the East Coast that’s accessible only by rock climbing, Seneca Rocks is an automatic must for climbers. But just because you can’t hit the peak without climbing doesn’t mean you can’t get up high for some amazing views. The hike up the jagged fins of the rock ledges is steep but surprisingly easy, with plenty of rest stops 5. Mountain Bike one of the most rare rated trails in the world. One of only a handful of trails in the world to be awarded “Epic” distinction by the International Mountain Biking Association for its jaw-dropping beauty, the 25-mile North Fork Mountain Trail traces backcountry ridges overlooking the wonder of Seneca Rocks. But it is not for faint of heart. There are no exit points along the rugged route, and no water stops, either. So you have to come prepared— but it’s worth it for one of the most amazing treks of your life. 6. Reach Eagles Level. Our state is full of amazing hikes, but the hike to Hanging Rock Raptor Observatory brings you eye-level with majestic hawks, falcons and eagles as they soar. The old lookout tower on the mountaintop is now one of the nation’s premier outlooks for birds of prey. But the view itself is reward enough: the rolling green mountains seem to stretch out infinitely beneath you before fading into the fog. Thanks for listening to Season 3 of our podcast featuring all 50 US States and some of each state's unique and hopefully lesser known to you Outdoor Adventures.

After the seller’s home goes under contract, the next steps are the buyer does and inspection and sometimes asks for things to be repaired, or an appraiser comes along and may not agree the home is worth what the buyer agreed to pay for the home. Does the seller have to do all the buyers ask?1. Well in this hot market, where there is low inventory and high demand for homes, the seller does not have to concede anything. However, the risk is that the buyer walks away.a. Probably the most common concession we receive this time of year are requests to check out the roof for hail damage. If the seller has to make a claim they must pay a deductible.●One of the most popular insurance companies in the area, USAA, has recently imposed a deductible as high as 1% of the homes value. That could mean 3-10K the seller has to come out of pocket if the roof is damaged by hail.●So I just sold a home where the seller had already given a price concession because they were tired of showing it. Then the roof was determined to need to be replaced.○The deductible was $3000○We actually got the buyer to increase the sales price to get a new roof and cover the deductible.■But we let the buyer pick the color and upgraded the roof to a Class IV shingle so he gets a discount on his Homeowners Insurance by as much as 25% .■Every one ended up happy in that deal.2. Inspection repairs, if the home needs them should be handled in most cases. But it is not the time for the buyer to ask for updates.3. On the appraisal. I just had one that the appraisers opinion of value was $3000 low. Looking at the appraisal the opinion did not make sense. However, it was conventional financing and its hard to challenge the appraisals.a. So the choices were:●Seller lower the price●Buyer come up with the difference in cash●Seller and buyer negotiate in between○The 3rd option is what happened in this case.●However I have had buyers either give an appraisal guarantee with their offers in bidding wars and have to come up with some extra cash when the appraisal came in low.●It’s frustrating for all. But less costly than starting all over.What About Home Inspections, Tell Us About Some Hot New Listings You Have Coming UP?1. 528 Dix Cir, CS, CO 80911, $269,9992. 11680 Spectacular Bird Cir, CS CO 80921, $599,999 3. 147 Star View, Palmer Lake CO, 80133, $599,999, August 104. 17550 Sierra Way, Monument, CO 80132, $644,999, Stunning on 2.5 Treed Acres 2 Masters5. 1872 Brookdale Dr, CS CO 80918, $289,999, Awesome Townhome in Superb Condition

What Homeowners Need to Know About Hail Damage When Selling Their HomesThe summer brings plenty of thunderstorms and hail. What can homeowners do about potential hail damage when selling their homes? 1. For most, they find out after their home goes under contract and they are not expecting to have a buyer ask for a roof repair and/or replacement: a) Check your Homeowners insurance and verify your deductible. One very popular company who serves military members and their families, USAA, has quietly and through fine print changed the deductible for hail damage to 1% of the home’s value. That means if it’s a $400,000 home, the home owner will have to come out of pocket between $3000 - $3500 to replace the roof. Most roofs cost about $8000 - $11,000 to replace.2. I would recommend you get a roof, pre-inspection. for FREE in most cases. Some roofers charge for it, some do not.You can also get what is called a Roof Certification.Roof Certificates are warm fuzzy documents that give the buyers some confidence that the roof is in good shape now and should last a few years to come barring any major hail damage. They also substantiate to their homeowners insurance companies the roofs are in good shape. Many of the new insurers will not come out to view the roof prior to give the buyer homeowners insuranceI have a client who just bought their home less than 5 years ago, when a new roof was put on. To their surprise, hey found out through the buyer’s inspection, the roof needed to be replaced. Because, the deductible was high and because they gave the buyer a great deal, we were able to negotiate to get the buyer to pay the deductible as part of the sales price.And as a act in Good Faith the seller offered to upgrade the roof to what is called a Class IV, High Impact shingle so the buyer got a discount on his Homeowners Insurance Rates. It costs the sellers under $500 to do that but I think it gives the buyer something of value in return.You are listening to the Real Estate Voice with myself Barb Schlinker of Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty, you can reach me at 719 301 3900 We are talking about Hail Damage and Selling Homes, do these repairs need to be done before closing1. In most cases, the roofing companies can put these on the schedule and finish roof replacements in just a few days. However, if there is other damage like broken windows or siding damage, it may take some time to get the parts. 2. If that is the case, it depends on the type of mortgage the buyer is obtaining:●Example is for VA and FHA Financing:○The rules are they will not complete the financing with any broken windows or missing siding. So it may take waiting to get those repairs done3. In 2016, when that massive storm hit thousands of homes on the east side of town, there were some closing delays, but that is not very common.4. One of the more challenging aspects is getting the work paid for. Some insurance companies will write the check out both to the homeowner AND the mortgage company. Which means the check comes, home owners have to send it to the mortgage company to be cashed to get the funds to do the repair5. The dilemma is getting these checks back takes weeks, yet most title companies handling the sales have an obligation to provide the home free and clear of all encumbrances (obligations), therefore the title company will collect payment for any unpaid repairs at closing and the homeowner will have to wait until the lender sends them back the funds.To Get Prepared to Sell Your Home 2 Things Should Be on the Checklist:Contact your insurance company and find out how much your deductible is – it may only change your rates a few dollars to lower it and your selling your home anyway, so its tem

What is Cold Laser Therapy Helped my low back painCold laser therapy is also known as photobiomodulation. It's a big word, but it carries a big punch when you are in pain. Any pain condition like low back pain, tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, migraines you name it can be helped with laser therapy. The laser stimulates the production of ATP. Our cells require ATP to produce energy. When our soft tissue is injured or hurt, ATP production falls off. The laser light therapy will help spark the cell to produce more ATP. If you can understand photosynthesis for plants you can understand how cold laser can produce energy for the cells to help repair and regrow damaged soft tissue.The treatment is painless and only takes a few minutes. A Class IV or above laser is recommended for optimal results in treating your pain. Core Health uses cold laser to help treat low back pain, tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, headaches, and migraines. Of course this in addition to the chiropractic care and physical therapy we provide our patients.

John Newton, chief economist at the American Farm Bureau Federation, has been working with Congress since late last week to try to get some sort of ag-related stimulus package through Congress. Specifically, agricultural groups are seeking an increase in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s borrowing authority up to $50 billion under the Commodity Credit Corporation.“Farmers need to know that USDA is going to have their back,” he said in an exclusive interview with Feedstuffs. “We've seen commodity prices fall pretty sharply across the whole sector.”Specifically, the deterioration in commodity values has been devastating. Live feeder and fat cattle prices were down 20 to 30%, ethanol May futures were down nearly 40%, Class IV milk prices down nearly 30% and at one point lean hogs were down more than 20%. “I believe that once we turn a corner on this virus, once the demand picks up, these commodity prices are undervalued and they’re going to pop back up,” he said. He noted when you look at data on consumer spending, consumers spent $1.7 trillion on food in 2019, and about $680 billion was spent in restaurants and $620-$630 billion spent at the grocery store. Yet, the cuts of meat that people are buying at the supermarket is different than what they would buy at restaurant. “What we’re actually seeing the last two weeks is that restaurant demand has been moved to the grocery store. So that’s obviously going to have an impact on the type of commodities and the type of products that people are buying,” he said.  “I think this, this thing could potentially have a long tail, and we're going to need to evaluate what the ultimate impact has been once we start to see a recovery on what that's doing to commodity prices.”Newton added, “I think we're, we're still very early in this baseball game that we're playing. And I think once we turn the corner, we'll start to see and watch just how we start to pick the pieces back up and get this economy started up again.”In this fourth episode in our series on agriculture and COVID-19, Feedstuffs policy editor Jacqui Fatka talks with Newton about Farm Bureau's efforts on Capitol Hill, and the broader market implications of COVID-19 related to the food and ag industries.Recent Feedstuffs In Focus Episodes  on COVID-19Talking COVID-19 and the impact on livestock marketsNCBA CEO talks COVID19, Brazil beef, GIPSAFrontline observations from animal food industry in COVID-19 battleFor more information on this and other stories, visit Feedstuffs online.Follow Feedstuffs on Twitter @Feedstuffs, or join the conversation via Facebook.

The world of Grona is said to hold the key to ending the war between the ever-expanding Divine Principality and its rivals, the recently allied Orion Combine and the Divine Collaborate. But whatever secrets are held on its surface are locked behind a gate, a gate patrolled by the Divine Courage, defended by orbital cannons, and barricaded behind the constant gunfire and flame of a raging battle. Somehow, a squad comprised of superstar mechathlete Memphis Longhand, the brothers David and Smack Talk, and the Candidate Pigeon must breach this perimeter. And they have to do it while carrying a very big box.

The use of anterior mid-point stop appliances (AMPSAs) in Dentistry is surrounded with controversies and misconceptions, so I am joined by Dr Barry Glassman in this episode to answer this much debated question. Attending Dr Glassman’s lecture last year was eye opening and career-transforming for me. It changed the way I thought about Occlusion! Attending Dr Glassman’s lecture last year was eye opening and career-transforming for me. It changed the way I thought about Occlusion! In this Episode with Dr Barry Glassman we discuss: To what extent are occlusions designed for Function? How much does Occlusion matter? Why canine guidance? Do Anterior midpoint stop appliances cause posterior teeth to over-erupt? When to avoid using AMPSAs? What mechanism is behind patients developing AOB after splint therapy?   This is an example of a lower NTI or SCI (Sleep Clench Inhibitor).

Let this be the mother's key to the whole of the education of each boy and each girl; not of her children; the Divine Spirit does not work with nouns of multitude, but with each single child. Because He is infinite, the whole world is not too great a school for this indefatigable Teacher, and because He is infinite, He is able to give the whole of his infinite attention for the whole time to each one of his multitudinous pupils. We do not sufficiently rejoice in the wealth that the infinite nature of our God brings to each of us." (Vol. 2, p. 273) "Supposing we are willing to make this great recognition, to engage ourselves to accept and invite the daily, hourly, incessant co-operation of the divine Spirit, in, to put it definitely and plainly, the schoolroom work of our children, how must we shape our own conduct to make this co-operation active, or even possible? We are told that the Spirit is life; therefore, that which is dead, dry as dust, mere bare bones, can have no affinity with Him, can do no other than smother and deaden his vitalising influences. A first condition of this vitalising teaching is that all the thought we offer to our children shall be living thought; no mere dry summaries of facts will do; given the vitalising idea, children will readily hang the mere facts upon the idea as upon a peg capable of sustaining all that it is needful to retain. We begin by believing in the children as spiritual beings of unmeasured powers––intellectual, moral, spiritual––capable of receiving and constantly enjoying intuitions from the intimate converse of the Divine Spirit." (Vol. 2, p. 277) "Girls are usually in Class IV. for two or three years, from fourteen or fifteen to seventeen, after which they are ready to specialise and usually do well. The programme for Class IV. is especially interesting; it adds Geology and Astronomy to the sciences studied, more advanced Algebra to the Mathematics, and sets the history of Modern Europe instead of French history."

Dr. Ted Burns interviews Dr. Chafic Karam about his article Rapid screening for inflammatory neuropathies by standardized clinical criteria. In this podcast, he discusses the Class IV evidence that 3 neuropathy characteristics—onset, distribution, and associated systemic features—accurately identify patients with inflammatory neuropathies. Rapid screening for inflammatory neuropathies by ODS clinical criteria is highly sensitive and has a high negative predictive value for noninflammatory neuropathies. ODS uses simple clinical criteria to rapidly screen for patients with a potentially treatable form of neuropathy and accelerate their diagnostic evaluation. Neurol Clin Pract 10.1212.

Guest: Thomas C. Wozniak, MD Host: Aaron Carroll, MD Currently, 3 to 5 million people per year suffer from heart failure in the United States; one-third of these patients suffer from Class III or Class IV heart disease. Host Dr. Aaron Carroll welcomes Dr. Thomas Wozniak, surgical director of the Indiana University Health Thoracic Transplant Program. Dr. Thomas discusses the advanced heart failure patient, and who is a candidate for ventricular assist device (VAD) therapy and cardiac transplantation and considerations about timing.

Elaboration of a dendritic arbor and the extension of an axon define the neuronal shape and are the key morphological features defining neuronal maturation. How the process is molecularly regulated is only poorly understood. In this study we used the dorsal multidendritic arborization (md-da) neurons of the Drosophila embryonic Peripheral Nervous System(PNS) to address the question about the Roundabout (Robo) receptor protein function during dendrite field development. We identified Robo as one of the proteins involved in regulating the balance between dendritic branch elongation and new branch formation during dendritic arbor specification of the morphologically most complex, filling-in Class IV neuron of Drosophila PNS. To dissect the role of the Robo proteins during dendritogenesis, we performed detailed developmental analyses of dendrite field formation of md-da neurons and compared how dendrite morphogenesis differs in animals lacking Robo function or having too much of the protein in their sensory neurons. We observed that changing the function of Robo protein results in defects in the number and elongation of high order dendritic branches. With the help of cell-class specific genetic markers we also observed that Robo acts cell- class specifically and is required during dendrite field development of the morphologically most complex class of md-da neurons, Class IV. Based on MARCM (mosaic analyses with a repressible cell marker) rescue and expression pattern experiments we suggest that this function of Robo is cell-autonomous. By doing time-lapse analyses we assessed the mechanistic role of overexpressing Robo during dendrite field development. We could verify that this protein limits the elongation and new branch formation of fine dendritic processes of the Dorsophila Class IV neurons. We performed expression pattern analyses, ectopic expression experiments and MARCM experiments for slit and suggest that muscles and neurons themselves are possible sources for the ligand. There are few molecules known to mediate the activation of Robo via Slit in the growth cone of an axon. Among these are Dock, a SH2-SH3 adaptor protein and Ena, a member of the VASP family of proteins. Loss-of-function analyses for these two proteins suggest that Ena is acting downstream of Robo during the regulation of dendrite field development of md-da neurons. Finally we propose a model in which Robo responsiveness to Slit is down regulated via Robo2 during axon patterning of dorsal md- da neurons.
