About Chemical Peels
For the highest quality results from a chemical peel treatment, SkinMD can provide you with several choices in exfoliating solutions (such as salicylic, glycolic, trichloroacetic and lactic acids) to reveal more radiant skin. At our Hurst and Weatherford, TX offices, we administer chemical peels to improve skin abnormalities like scars, fine lines, wrinkles, rough patches, hyperpigmentation, and more. Chemical peels remove dead, damaged skin cells by applying a personalized acidic solution onto the skin that causes the upper layer to slough off. When your skin heals and starts to repair and rejuvenate itself, you may see a smoother, clearer complexion. A chemical peel is a nonsurgical way to fight your signs of aging, revitalize a dull complexion, and add radiance to wherever it is placed on your skin.
Variations of Chemical Peels
In our Hurst and Weatherford, TX offices, we perform chemical peels in multiple levels of strength (light, medium, and deep) to meet our patients' skin concerns.
Light peels: You can receive a light peel during your lunchtime and return back to your routine. This level of peel will remove the outer skin layer (the epidermis), giving your face a more radiant appearance and smoother texture. We recommend that you receive a light chemical peel about once a month for the ideal glowing results.
Medium-depth peels: This level of peel reaches further into the skin, and patients generally decide to have this strength of facial treatment during an extended weekend. You may also need to ready yourself for increased discomfort during and up to one hour following the peel. Medium-depth peels are designed for men and women who have deeper damage to their skin including deeper lines and darker pigmentation problems.
Deep peels: The strongest of the three levels of peels is the deep chemical peel, and it does require the lengthiest recovery time. This is an aggressive procedure that can leave your face itchy, peeling, and swollen for 2 – 3 weeks. Patients who get a deep chemical peel generally have age or dark spots, sun damage, prominent acne scars, and deep scars. Since this level of chemical peel is usually uncomfortable, we may provide you with an anesthetic before your peel.

"Dr. Xia defines the highest quality of patient care. Professional, knowledgable, and personable. In my opinion, Dr. Xia is one of the finest MDs available."- Anonymous / Healthgrades / Jan 23, 2020
"Best experience I've had with a dermatologist in 16 years of needing skin cancer care. Dr. Xia is considerate and caring to a patient's needs. He performed a long, complicated MOHS surgery on my forehead. I was not new to MOHS, this was my third. The first was performed by a surgeon in another city and nothing about that experience left me willing to be proactive about my dermatology care. My follow-up appointments with Dr. Xia by comparison have been pleasant and helpful, which makes me a more compliant patient. As his patient, I felt listened to because he shows genuine concern for what you're asking or feeling unsure about. I'm very thankful to have had Dr. Xia as my surgeon and my follow-up dermatologist."- K.G. / Healthgrades / Nov 14, 2019

She made me feel so relaxed and talked me through everything and made sure I knew what needed to be done vs if I just wanted it done as well as roughly how much it would cost so I wouldn't be surprised when I checked out! Look forward to many visits to see her!"- M.S. / Facebook / Jul 27, 2019
Chemical Peel Ideal Candidates
Chemical peels are excellent facial treatments that can address a variety of dermatological issues for young or old. Both men and women can benefit from a chemical peel on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, or legs. Candidates for a chemical peel at SkinMD will have a skin assessment in our Hurst or Weatherford, TX office before we select a chemical peel for your unique needs. Some of the skin issues you may have (one or more) can include:
- Acne scar marks
- Age lines
- Discolored or unevenly colored skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Flaky, dry skin
- Freckles or sun spots
- Rough texture (not improved with lotions or creams)
- Sun damaged skin
We may recommend peels of varying strengths to match your concerns.
Chemical Peel Procedure Technique
During your appointment at SkinMD, we will have you lying in a comfortable position to administer your treatment. We will ensure your skin is cleaned prior to applying the personalized solution to the face, neck, or both. Then, we will spread the chemical peel solution onto your skin and allow it to work for a set amount of time that will be determined at the consultation. Next, we will clean the peel off your skin and put on a neutralizing agent. No matter what level of chemical peel you have treated on your skin, you should bring sunscreen and/or a hat to wear afterward outside to protect against UV exposure.
What to Expect with Chemical Peel
Based on the strength of the chemical peel you receive, you should expect the treated area to peel and itch from several days to two or more weeks. A member of our team will go over ways to care for your face during your procedure. Please remember that no matter how badly your skin itches throughout the recovery, it's not a good idea to peel the skin off. You may create scarring to your skin!
Chemical Peel Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a chemical peel cost?
A member of our aesthetics team can go over your costs during your consultation as soon as you have a custom treatment plan. Costs for a chemical peel will vary depending on the strength, products, and ingredients involved. SkinMD takes several payments methods and there are often specials on treatments like chemical peels.
What level should I choose for my chemical peel?
Which level of chemical peel is best for you will vary based on your specific skin issues and aesthetic goals. In your initial consultation at SkinMD, we can help you choose which formula is best for your skin. A few things we might take into consideration are your concerns for your skin, your general health, skin type, the time you can commit to recovery, and what you want the peel to accomplish. Initially, it's better to select a light chemical peel and decide what you think of the results. After this, you and your provider may adjust your peel to lighter or deeper for best results.
Should I get a chemical peel or dermabrasion treatment?
Chemical peels and dermabrasion are both facial treatments that address surface skin. The main difference is that dermabrasion requires special tools (an exfoliation instrument or rotating brush) to clear away the surface skin layer, debris, and dead skin cells. A chemical peel applies a caustic solution to your skin to dissolve damaged skin cells. In your initial consultation, we will explain the pros and cons of both options and help you choose if dermabrasion or a chemical peel best fits your skin goals.
Will my face hurt after a chemical peel?
Based on the chemicals selected, you might feel mild discomfort throughout the treatment and shortly after. If you choose a light peel, you may notice a little discomfort; however, this can be alleviated with a small fan. Deep or medium peels are beneficial for more profound issues and give you longer-lasting results; however, they usually cause greater discomfort. Numbing cream, medications, and ointments may be used to help you feel more comfortable during your chemical peel.
Can I combine a chemical peel with other treatments?
You may consider combining a chemical peel with another treatment at SkinMD. In your initial consultation, be open when describing all your skin concern so we can develop a unique treatment plan to achieve your goals. Your plan might include an injectable treatment for wrinkles (such as Juvéderm or BOTOX) plus a chemical peel to refresh your entire face.
Revitalize Your Skin Today
If you have never had facial treatments, SkinMD can assist you in determining a suitable option for your complexion. Your freshly revived skin will respond by looking bright and become touchably smooth. Contact our office in Hurst or Weatherford, TX to make an appointment for your skin consultation today for a medical-grade chemical peel at SkinMD.

The Browns were supposed to take Saquon Barkley here but the signing of Carlos Hyde and the talk of extending Duke Johnson says otherwise. My instincts are telling me Josh Allen should go here but all signs are pointing at Sam Darnold. Owners typically do not go to Pro-Days but Brown's owner Jimmy Haslem was there in the stands sitting and talking with Darnold's Parents. That is all I have to see to make this pick and the Browns are getting a quarterback that has the ability to do turn this franchise around.
Good news, the Giants have a major need for each of the top prospects available here. Between Saquon Barkley, Bradley Chubb, Quenton Nelson, Josh Allen and Josh Rosen, they can't really go wrong. The bad news is that they can only take one of these guys. While the Giants have an abysmal running game, it is not very often that you get the opportunity to draft this high. That is why you will see New York go with Josh Allen. With Eli Manning still having some playable years left and guys like Odell Beckham Jr coming back, the Giants can comfortably take the raw but talented Allen and groom him until it is time to take over Aaron Rodgers style.
This is probably the easiest pick yet. The Jets traded up three spots and it is because they are desperate for their future quarterback. While Rosen may or may not have been there number one choice, the Jets have done their research and have made the decision that they are happy with whichever of the top 3 QB's are left here.
I could see the Browns taking Bradley Chubb here but they still have to give Emmanuel Ogbah a chance on the other side of Myles Garrett. The biggest need by far that the Browns have is at cornerback. Denzel Ward is a little bit smaller than the prototypical cornerback but he put on a show at the combine and is ready right now to start locking down NFL wide receivers.
5. G Quenton Nelson Notre Dame
Not the most exciting pick for Broncos fans but it's the pick that makes the most sense. Denver can really help their offensive line here and set Case Keenum up for success with the selection of Nelson. Not only is he a great pass blocker but Nelson is a top-notch run blocker too. Expect to see him in the Pro-Bowl very early in his career.
6. Edge Bradley Chubb NC State
After moving down from three, it looks like the Colts are going to get there guy anyways. As tempting as Barkley looks right here to pair up with a healthy Andrew Luck, the Colts have already cut Frank Gore and it looks like they have faith in Marlon Mack. Chubb will be able to add some pressure for a struggling defense in Indianapolis.
7. RB Saquon Barkley Penn State
The Buccaneers seriously luck out here landing the best player in the draft at their most glaring need. Barkley is arguably the best player in the draft and should be able to relieve a ton of pressure off of Jameis Winston with his ability to do everything from blocking to running and even catching the ball. Things couldn't have worked out better for Tampa Bay.
8. QB Baker Mayfield Oklahoma (Projected trade with Bears)
Everyone knows the Bills are trying to move up for a quarterback but getting into the top two picks will cost too much. The Bills make the move to number 8 to grab Baker Mayfield. Mayfield is a gamer and there is no doubt of his love for competition. Expect him to compete for the starting spot with AJ McCarron right away.
9. S Minkah Fitzpatrick Alabama
John Lynch won't be able to resist bringing in the cerebral Minkah Fitzpatrick at the ninth pick. Fitzpatrick is in a top three talent in this year's draft that could fall due to team needs. Bringing in Richard Sherman this offseason was a huge plus but the 49ers still have a hole on the opposite side of the field at cornerback. By bringing in Fitzpatrick they can pair him with Jaquiski Tartt and move the oft-injured Jimmie Ward back to cornerback.
The Raiders add a defensive tackle that can move all over the line here. Vita Vea is an athletic freak for being well over 300 pounds and instantly makes the Oakland's defensive line a force to be reconned with. If they can pair him up next to Khalil Mack, a record-setting season wouldn't be out of the question for Mack.
11. LB Tremaine Edmunds Virginia Tech
Ryan Tannehill has one more chance to prove himself as the Dolphins aren't able to grab their quarterback of the future in the first round. There is a giant need for a strong side linebacker though and Tremaine Edmunds should fit right in next to Raekwon McMillan. This will give the Dolphins a young, athletic core of linebackers to base their defense around.
12. LB Roquan Smith Georgia (Projected trade with Bills)
After a strong free agency period, the Chicago Bears will be looking to add to their defense. Roquan Smith can do it all at linebacker and will make an immediate impact on a defense that can take a huge step forward this season.
13. S Derwin James Florida State
An interior offensive lineman could be the pick here but I don't think that the Redskins can pass on the talent of Derwin James. Pairing him with DJ Swearinger would give Washington one of the deadliest safety duos in the game. James is a leader on and off of the field and can help this defense find an identity.
14. CB Josh Jackson Iowa
The Packers need a ton of help on the defensive side of the ball and especially in the backfield. Josh Jackson is a ball-hawking corner which is something that Green Bay needs. Starting only 14 games in his college career, this is a very risky pick but at this point, the Packers don't have much of a choice.
15. QB Lamar Jackson Louisville
Yet another team that desperately needs a quarterback. The Cardinals could easily trade up to try and grab Baker Mayfield if that is their poison but it would be nearly impossible to grab one of the top 3 guys. New head coach, Steve Wilks was a defensive coordinator in Carolina but has seen a whole lot of Cam Newton running around in games and practice. If he decides he want's a QB that can extend the play like Cam, then Lamar Jackson is his guy.
16. Guard/Center Billy Price Ohio State
The Ravens have lost two of their offensive lineman this offseason and they need to get help ASAP. Billy Price is a mauler with insane strength and explosiveness. Baltimore is getting a great interior lineman that can help give Flacco some extra time to throw the deep ball.
17. OT Mike McGlinchey Notre Dame
The Chargers need another tackle to protect the edge and the massive Notre Dame prospect should be able to step in and compete. Mike McGlinchey isn't a finished product but with some work, he has the skill set to become one of the best in the game.
Losing Richard Sherman certainly hurt the "Legion of Boom" and they could use a replacement but Seattle has consistently been able to take corners from the mid-rounds and turn them into solid starters. I don't see them straying away from that method yet. The Seahawks have struggled on the offensive line for a while now but maybe with the addition of Duane Brown, things could start to turn around. Isaiah Wynn is an athletic tackle built in a guards body. He will be able to keep up with Russel Wilson when he chooses to extend the play and is a perfect fit for this offensive line.
The Cowboys have finally released Dez Bryant and adding a wide receiver to replace him will be a priority for Jerry Jones and company. Courtland Sutton will struggle to create separation in the NFL but has the best jump ball skills in this year's draft. Without Dez Bryant, the Cowboys will be missing a giant part of their red zone offense so look for Sutton to make an instant impact this year pulling in touchdowns.
20. Edge Marcus Davenport Texas-San Antonio
The Lions are in desperate need of someone who can put pressure on opposing quarterbacks other than Ziggy Ansah. Marcus Davenport is a guy that can come in and complete this defensive line giving Detroit bookend rushers. If he can get his technique under control and add a couple of pass-rushing moves, Davenport could be a nightmare for opposing offensive lines.
Every time someone would come back from injury, it felt like another guy would go down on offense for the Bengals. Combine that with the fact that Joe Mixon and John Ross have another year under there belt and Cordy Glenn joining the offensive line, I see the Cincinnati offense to take a huge step forward this season. That is why I have them going with the Alabama defensive tackle Da'ron Payne. Payne is a man amongst children benching over 400 pounds in high school and being groomed in the school of Saban. The Bengals defensive line gets a huge upgrade here.
22. CB Jaire Alexander Louisville (Projected trade with Bills)
With their second pick of the first round, the Bears go defense again with cornerback, Jaire Alexander. Alexander is smaller than your typical cornerback and might be more suited to play primarily in the slot but that isn't an issue in today's pass-happy NFL. With his instincts and athleticism, Alexander will be able to start right away.
23. QB Mason Rudolph Oklahoma State
We have seen it time and time again where the Patriots trade away their backup quarterback for a haul and then draft another the following year. This could finally be the one that is the heir apparent to Tom Brady. Mason Rudolph will absolutely benefit from the run of quarterbacks taken in the first half of the round and him being head and shoulder above those behind him. I would expect Belichick to find his replacement for Brady very early in this year's draft even if Rudolph isn't there.
24. Edge Harold Landry Boston College
Harold Landry is the best player available and could fall into a great situation here. He has the physical ability to be an elite pass rusher but just needs to put in the work and learn from the best. That is where Julius Peppers comes in. Peppers is one of the great pass rushers of this generation and can show Landry the technique and work ethic needed to become an elite player in this league.
25. LB Leighton Vander Esche Boise State
The Titans could get the steal of the first round with Leighton Vander Esche. Starting just one year at Boise State, Vander Esche was a force to be reckoned with and capped it off with a very impressive combine. While still raw and needing work on his technique, he should be able to fill in all over the linebacking core until proving himself as an every-down starter.
26. Tackle/Guard Connor Williams Texas
With some holes and the majority of its starters on the wrong side of 30, the Falcons should be looking for an offensive lineman here. With this pick, they get one of the best players available and a guy that could possibly move all over the offensive line and be effective. Williams was projected to be in the top half of the first round before this season started but had a slight decline in play over the course of this year. If he can get back to where he was in 2016, Connor Williams will be a great value and fit.
27. TE Mike Gesicki Penn State
For years now, everyone has been waiting for the Saints to properly replace Jimmy Graham and Gesicki could be their guy. At 6'5″, Gesicki is a monster with incredible athleticism. He immediately becomes a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses and could open the field up for guys like Michael Thomas.
The devastating loss of Ryan Shazier was felt on the field and in the locker room and it doesn't look like he will be playing again. Unfortunately, the Steelers will have to find a replacement in this years draft and Rashaan Evans will be a great fit. He waited patiently behind Reuben Foster for a couple of years until he was finally the starter and never looked back. Evans has the ability to stop the run and rush the passer.
The receiving core for the Jaguars is full of injury-prone players and that includes the newly added Donte Moncrief. Adding Calvin Ridley to this wide receiver group will make it even more crowded on the depth chart but it is arguably Jacksonville's biggest need. Ridley has speed and runs smooth routes but struggled with drops over the past couple of years which is why he will fall to the back of the first round.
The Vikings have the luxury of being able to draft a guy that does not need to make an instant impact this year. While they have a trio of highly touted, top draft picks at cornerback, there isn't much behind them. Isaiah Oliver is far from a complete prospect but has all of the natural athleticism and size you could ask for. By drafting him, they have the opportunity to teach him technique without throwing him to the wolves for the time being.
The Patriots get one of the best players available and the fifth Alabama player in the first round. Harrison is a multi-year starter in Nick Saban's defense and will be able to compete for a starting spot in New England right away. Harrison was never the "quarterback" of his defense playing alongside Minkah Fitzpatrick but was able to do his job with effectiveness with his pure athleticism.
The reigning Superbowl champs could go a number of directions here. While there are no glaring needs, they have a number of positions they can go after to prepare for the future. Jay Ajayi was a huge addition last year and should have an even bigger impact this year. The problem is that his contract is up after this season and he does have an injury history to go with it. The Eagles have shown that they prefer a two to three-headed attack as well and Derrius Guice would be a great fit for the post-Ajayi era. Guice is a violent runner with a passion for contact. With a low center of gravity and the underrated breakaway speed that he possesses, Guice is a top-15 talent that will fall just because he is not Saquon Barkley.

Google Launches Standalone Street View App
The new Google Street View app allows users to add their own content to Google Maps.
Google has announced a new Street View app that's separate from Google Maps that allows users to share with others their own photos for use by the application.
In a blog post trumpeting the new app, Google said that users can tap into the company's own content while also being able to separately view that uploaded by others. Per the company:
In one gallery, you can explore Street View collections and content from Google Maps alongside photo spheres contributed from people around the globe. So whether you want to track the Loch Ness monster in Scotland, scale the famed rock wall El Capitan in Yosemite, or hike Mt. Fuji, the Street View app has you covered.
Called "photo spheres," users can take 360-degree panoramas of their "favorite places from around the world (or around the block!) to Google Maps instantly."
Notably, the new Street View app will replace the Photo Sphere Camera app for iPhones, according to the company.

Surfing is a concept that is found all over the world. Where there's a stretch of coastline and decent enough waves, surfers won't be too far off.
It's a Way of Life
If you speak to a surfer about this you won't be surprised to discover how experiencing this has changed their entire lives for the better. Some would tell you that through the crucible of surfing, they ended up travelling the world.
It Requires Practice and Perseverance
Although there might be naturals, surfing, for the most part, has a fairly steep learning curve. Many of the best surfers have wiped out countless times before experiencing their first successful surf. There are many places where people can learn surfing. Even luxury resorts such as Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort provide opportunities to learn surfing in Sri Lanka.
There are Rules
Surfing is dangerous, so all surfers adhere to some very strict rules when tackling the waves. Surfers never steal another's wave, and have adopted a strong sense of etiquette and mutual respect.
Knowledge Is Power and Ignorance is Dangerous
A good surfer will never overestimate oneself since that could easily result in a fatal accident. Beginners are always encouraged to find teachers and to never learn the sport without a seasoned guide.

Research Looks at Perceptions of Political Parties
According to new research by Assistant Professor of Political Science Douglas J. Ahler and his colleague, data scientist Gaurav Sood, Americans show significant bias in how they perceive political parties. Ahler and Sood asked 1,000 Americans to guess what percentage of each party is made up of groups stereotypically associated with that party. In every category, the respondents overestimated the actual numbers, often by significant margins.
As the chart above shows, the respondents were slightly more accurate when making guesses about their own party. But only slightly. Which shows our assumptions about our own parties aren't much better than our assumptions about the other party.
Perhaps more surprising, the respondents who reported tracking politics MORE CLOSELY, were LESS ACCURATE in their guesses. The research does not tackle the reasons behind this negative correlation, but it raises fascinating questions about the information reaching the electorate through advertising, traditional media and other online sources.
Bottom line, according to this study, we shouldn't assume we know who makes up the other party. As Sood put it, "What we know about the American polity is that they don't actually pay a ton of attention to politics, but they seem to have these deeply-prejudicial views about the other side. And what we are telling you is that what you may know… ain't so right."
The full study is available here.

Tackle Review – Black Minnow by Fiiish
This is Fiiish's Black Minnow. I really like the 12g, it swims really nicely and you can easily work it over shallow ground, which makes them ace for bass. They're a French soft plastic lure but are now getting very popular over here. The Black Minnow is made up of three sections. 1. Weighted head with big eye which is sure to attracted predatory fish. 2. Soft plastic body which gives it a great swimming motion. 3. Weedless style…View Post

Samsung looks to innovative S9 camera to energize Galaxy S smartphone salesFebruary 25, 2018Samsung is packing its main innovative push into the cameras of its latest flagship Galaxy S devices. With the new super slow motion video capture, Samsung has improved on previous industry attempts to commercialize this feature. The Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus are strong handset designs which evolve from 2017's excellent S8. They are markedly different in camera quality and display size from the two to three year old smartphones potential customers own now which should boost upgrades. However, consumers may delay purchase because of rising flagship prices.

Your insurance website is a body of work. It generally has three parts: Header, body, and footer. If these flow together, you can guide customers around your website and hold their attention. Here are a few tips to update each part of your website this summer. Don't let your website fade away over summer vacation.
Header: Picture Perfect View
Chances are your header contains some form of a visual graphic. Whether it is a video, a slideshow, or a static image, think about updating this to a summery scene. Grab attention with this choice. Make your website relatable in an instant.
The first main visual a visitor sees should draw them in and intrigue them. Wherever you are, summer can be a shared experience. Use this as a chance to find common ground with visitors immediately.
Body: Stand Out Like Tan Lines
Outside of your blogs, the content of your website doesn't have to be overrun with summer content. But stick with the idea of grabbing attention fast. Don't let a customer get lost, drowning in a sea of content. Make certain portions stand out.
Adding bolded lines or bulleted lists makes the content easier to skim and less overwhelming. Make sure the most important information is available at a glance. For seasonal content ideas, refer to our 12 Months of Content Ideas whitepaper.
Footer: Go Out With a Bang
Often overlooked and an afterthought, don't let your website fizzle out with a useless footer. Rather than using this as a space for the fine print, your footer can leave a lasting impression. Optimize this area to encourage people to come back or find new subpages to visit.
Don't be afraid to throw a call to action or simple form into the footer. This is one last chance to engage visitors. Finish strong.
Even on summer vacation, there are easy, yet powerful changes to make to your website. Test the waters and make sure your website flows well for visitors. A few days making small tweaks could have a big impact on your website.

Sounders make noise
First-year franchise takes city by storm
Sun., June 28, 2009
SEATTLE – The Emerald City Supporters held their green and blue scarves high and sang in unison, their words echoing off the brick facades of the historic Pioneer Square neighborhood as they marched to a recent Seattle Sounders FC match.
"Take 'em all; take 'em all …" they bellowed. "Short 'n' tall, watch 'em fall; come on boys, take 'em all!"
If Major League Soccer had any concerns about how soccer would be received in its newest market, they have long since disappeared. The overwhelming success of the first-year Sounders is providing a blueprint for future MLS franchises.
At a time when MLS attendance is down in many markets, the infant Sounders are bucking the trend to the point of opening more seats beginning this weekend. Instead of 29,000 clad in rave green and blue cramming the lower bowl of Qwest Field, as was the case for the first nine home games, it'll be nearly 33,000 for the rest of the season.
Seattle is easily on pace to shatter the previous attendance mark set by the Los Angeles Galaxy in the league's first season, and the Sounders are expecting sellout crowds of 67,000 for international matches with Chelsea and FC Barcelona this summer.
Some of the success is because of the novelty that comes with every expansion franchise. But the Sounders are smartly tapping into a fan base looking for something new to rally around after the SuperSonics, Seattle's oldest professional franchise, were sent into storage a year ago when the owner moved the team to Oklahoma City.
"One of the current examples that we can show of the best practices of starting a team from scratch would have the Sounders all over it," said Paul Swangard, managing director of the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon. "It's across the four P's of marketing: product, price, place and promotion. All the facets of what we would say is sports marketing 101 they've accounted for and are doing well."
In a city known for starting unique trends – grunge rock and overpriced coffee as examples – Seattle is doing its best in year one at wresting away from rival Portland the title of "Soccer City USA."
On that recent weeknight, the fans who showed up for the "March to the Match" represented a broad spectrum: skaters and brokers, families and mohawked fanatics. Wannabe hooligans shoved and yelled at those in opposing jerseys, while a Sounders' scarf was draped across a baby in a stroller.
The fanatic reaction to the league's 15th team has even amazed some of those responsible for its success.
"What maybe has surprised me is that it's become so mainstream, so prevalent, all the way through the community, through every type of sports fan so quickly," said general manager and part owner Adrian Hanauer. "We've struck a chord and … I've heard so many stories 'I was never really a soccer fan,' or 'I've never been to a soccer game and I gave up my season tickets to this team to be a Sounders supporter.' That level, that type of fan that we hoped to get someday. We didn't think we would get them immediately."
Stepping into the void left by the Sonics' departure worried Tod Leiweke, CEO of the Sounders and the Seattle Seahawks.
"I didn't necessarily see it as a benefit," Leiweke said. "It's a different season and different fan base."
The Sounders helped mitigate any such feelings with a series of deft moves:
•Fans were allowed to vote for the team name, rejecting three other choices to bring back the Sounders name from the old North American Soccer League days. They also hold the right to vote out the sitting GM every four years, just like at Barcelona.
•Seattle signed big-name talent like Kasey Keller and Freddie Ljungberg, signaling a desire to win immediately.
•The team gave season-ticket holders the ability to decide what type of fans they wanted to sit around, from hardcore cursers to family-friendly areas.
•Season-ticket holders were rewarded with team scarves as their ticket for the first game and had Chelsea, Barcelona and the MLS Cup included as part of their package.

A group of banks and monetary innovation companies have actually revealed a brand-new syndicated loan market built on top of the Corda distributed ledger platform.
Thelist of banks involved consists of BNP Paribas, HSBC, ING, State Street and BNY Mellon, with 2 other unnamed organizations likewise participating in the effort. Today's unveiling from Finastra, which was formed by the merger of software application companies D+H and Misys previously this year, follows a previous pilot stage.
Thejob intends to produce a brand-new type of syndicated loan market, where numerous loan providers swimming pool resources in order to money single debtors. The concept is to utilize R3's Corda platform (which saw its 1.0 version released on Tuesday) as a center for administering loans and sharing crucial info on things like costs and rate of interest in real-time throughout the financing procedure.
PhilippeBoulas, head of funding services for BNP Paribas CIB, stated in a statement:

The Finastra-led utility, Fusion LenderComm, would allow us to share position data more efficiently and pave the way for a more fluid industrialization."
Theplatform, called Fusion LenderComm, currently has its own official website, and while its launch date wasn't revealed in today's statement, the business behind it are looking for extra backers– especially loan providers who would bring liquidity to the market.

How to Meditate Daily
The habit of meditation is one of the most powerful things I've ever learned.
Amazingly, it's also one of the most simple habits to do — you can do it anywhere, any time, and it will always have immediate benefits.
How many habits can you say that about?
While many people think of meditation as something you might do with a teacher, in a Zen Center, it can be as simple as paying attention to your breath while sitting in your car or on the train, or while sitting at the coffee shop or in your office, or while walking or showering.
It can take just one or two minutes if you're busy. There's no excuse for not doing it, when you simplify the meditation habit.Why Meditate?
Why create a small daily meditation practice? There are countless reasons, but here are some of my favorite:
- It relieves stress and helps you to relax.
- When you practice mindfulness, you can carry it out to everyday life.
- Mindfulness helps you to savor life, change habits, live simply and slowly, be present in everything you do.
- Meditation has been shown to have mental benefits, such as improved focus, happiness, memory, self-control, academic performance and more.
- Some research on meditation has indicated that it may have other health benefits, including improved metabolism, heart rate, respiration, blood pressure and more.
Actually, some of the best benefits of meditation are hard to define — you begin to understand yourself better, for example, and form a self-awareness level you've never had before.
Most simply, sitting for just a few minutes of meditation is an oasis of calm and relaxation that we rarely find in our lives these days. And that, in itself, is enough.How to Do It Daily
There are lots and lots of ways to meditate. But our concern is not to find a perfect form of meditation — it's to form the daily habit of meditation. And so our method will be as simple as possible.
1. Commit to just 2 minutes a day. Start simply if you want the habit to stick. You can do it for 5 minutes if you feel good about it, but all you're committing to is 2 minutes each day.
2. Pick a time and trigger. Not an exact time of day, but a general time, like morning when you wake up, or during your lunch hour. The trigger should be something you already do regularly, like drink your first cup of coffee, brush your teeth, have lunch, or arrive home from work.
3. Find a quiet spot. Sometimes early morning is best, before others in your house might be awake and making lots of noise. Others might find a spot in a park or on the beach or some other soothing setting. It really doesn't matter where — as long as you can sit without being bothered for a few minutes. A few people walking by your park bench is fine.
4. Sit comfortably. Don't fuss too much about how you sit, what you wear, what you sit on, etc. I personally like to sit on a pillow on the floor, with my back leaning against a wall, because I'm very inflexible. Others who can sit cross-legged comfortably might do that instead. Still others can sit on a chair or couch if sitting on the floor is uncomfortable. Zen practitioners often use a zafu, a round cushion filled with kapok or buckwheat. Don't go out and buy one if you don't already have one. Any cushion or pillow will do, and some people can sit on a bare floor comfortably.
5. Start with just 2 minutes. This is really important. Most people will think they can meditate for 15-30 minutes, and they can. But this is not a test of how strong you are at staying in meditation — we are trying to form a longer-lasting habit. And to do that, we want to start with just a two minutes. You'll find it much easier to start this way, and forming a habit with a small start like this is a method much more likely to succeed. You can expand to 5-7 minutes if you can do it for 7 straight days, then 10 minutes if you can do it for 14 straight days, then 15 minutes if you can stick to it for 21 straight days, and 20 if you can do a full month.
6. Focus on your breath. As you breathe in, follow your breath in through your nostrils, then into your throat, then into your lungs and belly. Sit straight, keep your eyes open but looking at the ground and with a soft focus. If you want to close your eyes, that's fine. As you breathe out, follow your breath out back into the world. If it helps, count … one breath in, two breath out, three breath in, four breath out … when you get to 10, start over. If you lose track, start over. If you find your mind wandering (and you will), just pay attention to your mind wandering, then bring it gently back to your breath. Repeat this process for the few minutes you meditate. You won't be very good at it at first, most likely, but you'll get better with practice.
And that's it. It's a very simple practice, but you want to do it for 2 minutes, every day, after the same trigger each day. Do this for a month and you'll have a daily meditation habit.Expanding Your Practice
Sitting and paying attention to your breath is really mindfulness practice. It's a way to train yourself to focus your attention. Once you've practiced a bit while sitting in a quiet space, you can expand your mindfulness practice:
- When you feel stress, take a minute to pay attention to your breath, and return your mind to the present moment.
- Try taking a walk, and instead of thinking about things you need to do later, pay attention to your breath, your body's sensations, the things around you.
- When you eat, just eat, and focus your attention on the food, on your feelings as you eat, on the sensations.
- Try a mindful tea ritual, where you focus your attention on your movements as you prepare the tea, on the tea as you smell and taste it, on your breath as you go through the ritual.
- Wash your dishes and sweep your floor mindfully.
This, of course, is just a start. There are many ways to practice mindfulness, including with other people, while you work, and so on.

Focus on Environmental Awareness and Education in VET and CE online
Hello everyone,
we from EPALE Germany just wanted to let you know about a current topical focus running on our language version.
Feel free to translate as it fits the current topical focus "Environmental Awareness and Education" perfectly:
Which competencies are necessary to be able to act sustainably in education or in the workplace? What must a sustainable learning location look like? These and other questions are being addressed by the pilot projects and scientific support provided in the "Vocational Education and Training for Sustainable Development" funding programme of the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) in Germany. Our focus on "Vocational education for sustainable development" gives insight into three such pilot projects!
Right now, the landing page, which gives insight into the necessity of new approaches that promote sustainability in VET and continuing education, and the four blog posts on the pilot projects are online in German. So if anyone wishes to translate, feel free!

Answers to common parent questions about orthopedic care
When an orthopedic patient is a child, the condition affects the whole family. That's why we take a family-centered, personalized approach here at Sunrise Children's Hospital in Las Vegas. You can meet one of our pediatric orthopedic surgeons when you watch the accompanying video. He explains how he responds when parents ask him how he would treat his own child.
Which orthopedic conditions commonly affect children?
Pediatric patients can sustain broken bones and ligament strains just like adults. However, there are a number of orthopedic issues that can affect kids.
- Clubfoot
- Infant hip dysplasia
- Scoliosis
- Gait disorders
- Juvenile arthritis
- Growth plate injuries
How is orthopedic care different for young patients?
Contrary to the prevailing thought in centuries past, children aren't "little adults." They have a dynamic, constantly developing musculoskeletal system that requires a specialized approach to treatment. Children are also prone to developing orthopedic problems that don't affect adults, such as greenstick fractures (when a child's bone bends and breaks slightly).
Because of the dynamic nature of a child's musculoskeletal system, orthopedists who specialize in pediatrics are uniquely qualified to treat these young patients. Some orthopedic conditions require observance and care, with the understanding that a growing body can correct certain issues over time.
Other orthopedic issues do require intervention to promote proper development. Pediatric specialists prefer to deliver nonsurgical treatment to their young patients whenever possible. If surgery is indicated, every precaution will be taken to safeguard the health of the child during the procedure.
Should I get a second opinion?
Parents should always feel free to seek a second opinion, and good orthopedic surgeons will always welcome the idea. Some situations in which parents may want a second opinion include the following:
- Rare diagnosis
- Complex or serious diagnosis
- Complex treatment recommendations
Additionally, parents may want a second opinion simply to become better informed about their child's diagnosis and treatment options. Talking things over with another pediatric specialist can help parents understand the situation better.
Sunrise Children's Hospital is a modern medical center in Las Vegas that is designed to comfort children—from admittance to discharge. We even provide tricycles and motorized cars, so that our young patients can "drive" themselves to surgery. A registered nurse is available to speak with parents 24/7 at (702) 233-5437.
Finding the right care for a high-risk pregnancy
High-risk pregnancies require attentive prenatal care to support the health of mother and baby. There are many factors that can place a pregnancy in this category, including maternal health conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes and autoimmune disease. Although the idea of having a high-risk pregnancy is troubling, many similarly affected women are able to have healthy pregnancies and babies, thanks to the exceptional care at Sunrise Children's Hospital.
Scheduling a preconception health appointment
Women who have chronic medical conditions and those who have previously had a high-risk pregnancy can benefit from a preconception health visit. Doctors can help women plan the healthiest possible pregnancy by:
- Getting medical conditions under control
- Reviewing current medications and making any necessary changes
- Providing healthy weight counseling
- Providing substance abuse treatment referrals (including smoking cessation)
Depending on their specific medical issues and lifestyle challenges, at-risk women who are planning a pregnancy may benefit from talking to any of the following specialists:
- Registered dieticians
- Endocrinologists
- Physical therapists
- Mental health providers
- Cardiologists
Undergoing additional prenatal tests
During a pregnancy that's considered high risk, women are often advised to undergo additional diagnostic tests and health screenings. They can also expect to schedule more frequent prenatal care visits with the obstetrician. Some of the tests and exams might include:
- Targeted ultrasound
- Amniocentesis
- Chorionic villus sampling
- Cervical length measurement
- Biophysical profile
Choosing the right maternity hospital
Generally, doctors caution women against choosing home birth if they or their babies are at an increased risk of health problems. At a maternity hospital, families have access to 24/7, dedicated triage services, highly trained obstetricians and an attentive nursing staff. Expecting mothers can feel reassured to know that their baby has access to a world-class NICU, if needed.
Knowing when to call the doctor
Expecting moms may need to call their doctors or seek emergency care if they notice any potential signs of a serious problem during pregnancy. An obstetrician can provide a list of symptoms and guidance on what to do. Some of these may include:
- Vaginal bleeding
- Pain or burning during urination
- Changes in vision
- Decreased fetal movement
- Lower abdominal pain or cramping
Expecting mothers with a high-risk pregnancy need dependable, family-centered care they can count on to provide the best possible outcome for themselves and their babies. That's why so many families in Las Vegas choose BIRTH Center at Sunrise Children's Hospital , which features a fully staffed Level III NICU. A registered nurse is here to help—call (702) 233-5437.
Will your child inherit your risk of breast cancer?
Every parent wants the healthiest possible start in life for their children. If breast cancer runs in your family, it's natural to feel concerned about your child's future risk of it. Although breast cancer does tend to run in families, the majority of women who develop it do not have breast cancer in their family medical history. You can always speak with the dedicated healthcare providers at Sunrise Children's Hospital if you have maternity or pediatric health concerns. We're here to help.
Family history of breast cancer
According to the American Cancer Society , the percentage of women diagnosed with breast cancer, who also had a family member affected by breast cancer, is less than 15 percent.
However, having a first-degree relative with breast cancer nearly doubles the risk. A first-degree relative is a mother, sister or daughter. If a woman has two first-degree relatives with breast cancer, her risk is increased three-fold.
Gene mutations associated with breast cancer
It's possible for a child to inherit gene mutations that can increase the likelihood of breast cancer. Most often, hereditary breast cancer is attributed to the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. A child can inherit a gene mutation that affects one or both of these genes from either the mother or the father.
The American Cancer Society notes that it's possible to have these gene mutations and not develop breast cancer. However, about seven out of 10 women with the gene mutations will get breast cancer by age 80.
Although the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations are the most impactful and common, other gene mutations may be passed down from parent to child. These genes include:
Women who are planning a pregnancy may wish to speak with their doctors about whether genetic counseling might be right for them. Genetic counseling is an evaluation of genetic issues that may be passed down to a child.

How to protect your child's eyes from lasting damage
Injuries can happen in the blink of an eye, regardless of whether or not a parent is carefully watching the child. While parental supervision is important, your child's safety also depends on the safety of his or her environment. At Sunrise Children's Hospital, our family-focused pediatric specialists welcome questions from parents about preventing eye injuries in children.
Identifying common causes of eye injuries
Eye injuries can be minor, such as a black eye, or severe, resulting in blindness. Many injuries can be prevented. Children's emergency care doctors identify the following hazards as being common causes of eye injuries:
- Unsafe toys or misuse of toys
- Misuse of everyday objects around the house
- Exposure to harmful chemicals (cleaning products)
- Car crashes
- Falls (on stairs and from beds)
Do a safety audit of your home, indoors and outdoors, and try to see common objects from your child's perspective. Would he or she become curious about the garden shears leaning on the fence? Secure these objects in a safer place.
Improving your child's safety indoors
The exact steps you'll take to improve safety at your home will depend on your child's age and physical abilities. In general, parents can:
- Install and use safety gates at the top and bottom of stairs
- Install child safety devices on cabinets and drawers
- Keep sharp objects out of reach of children
- Keep toxic products out of reach of children
- Install padding on sharp corners of furniture and fixtures
Toy safety is a major concern for parents. Pediatric specialists recommend choosing toys that are:
- Labeled for the child's age range
- Do not include projectile-firing or airborne components
- Do not feature sharp points or edges
- Won't shatter into small shards
- Are ASTM-approved
Supporting injury-free outdoor play
Active kids are healthier kids, but injuries can happen at any time. Regular eyeglasses don't protect your child's eyes from play-related injuries. If your child plays sports, a pediatric specialist can let you know which type of eye protection he or she needs.
Around the clock, every day of the year, the children's emergency care team is here for you. Sunrise Children's Hospital is committed to providing superior medical care delivered by compassionate, comforting specialists who understand the sensitive needs of their young patients. Call 911 if your child has a medical emergency in Las Vegas, or call a registered nurse at (702) 233-5437 for general information.

Chase confirmed at Starworks for remainder of 2019
Parker Chase will remain as Starworks Motorsports' full-time partner for Ryan Dalziel, "pending sponsor commitments", in the 2019 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
Starworks, which campaigns an Audi R8 in the GT Daytona class, had run Chase in the car for the opening endurance rounds of the season, the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring.
However, Chase will now be retained for the sprint races, starting with Mid-Ohio next weekend, and his primary sponsor Vertical Bridge has also committed to the upcoming rounds at Detroit, Watkins Glen and Road America, with hopes to fill out the remainder of the races.
"I'm very excited to be racing in the sprint races as well as the four endurance races," said Chase. "I can't thank Vertical Bridge enough for their continued support this year, and I'm ready to get on track at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course next week."
"We're excited to officially have Parker secured as Ryan Dalziel's co-driver," said team owner Peter Baron. "He's a great young talent and shows strong speed everywhere we go.
"He and Ryan have proven to be a great combination, and hopefully our luck turns as we begin the next segment of races so we can fight for some valuable points. We're looking forward to fighting at tracks where our Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO will be competitive."

Normally we do not schedule Hikes on a Holiday weekend. It conflicts with various family obligations and gatherings, and that is not what we are about here. But……we received so many requests to do a Wild Flower HIKE on Saturday, May 11th, the day before Mothers Day, that we thought it would be OK to do something short and local that maybe even Mom could come and enjoy.
About 18 people showed up for an interesting day in weather and Flowers. So did 6 Doggie friends as well. Now……it is a testament to all you HM members, that after 15 years of exploring Southeastern Michigan, your Group has grown to over 6,000 members, of which some 35-80 of you attend almost every Hike we schedule. Pretty amazing to have 80 people on a Hike. Even having 40 people is pretty overwhelming.
That is why the 18 members and Doggie friends who showed up, made this Hike very similar to the way Hikes went, when the Group was young and had around a couple of thousand members. We would get 12-20 Hikers joining in at every Hike.
It is a much different dynamic when there is under 20 Hikers participating. Everyone gets a chance to speak with everyone else at the Hike. There are EXCELLENT conversations on many outdoor subjects, especially IDing the different Flowers, Plants and creatures we come across on the Trails. Now this also takes place on every Hike. BUT…..the difference is that all 18 Hikers would do a communal discussion on a discovered Flower. Some had ID sheets, others had ID Books and others just carried their knowledge and experience. Whatever was the input, almost everyone had input, which made each Flower stop along the Trails and extremely learned one.
No Flower or plant was left un-IDed before the end of the Hike. Flower ID discussions also turned into other outdoor conversations connecting the various Flowers, Plants and experiences together. EVERYONE's experiences. Because the Group was small enough, Everyone got a chance to express their opinions, comments and experiences, while they had the attention of the rest of the 18 people hiking with them.
The pack of Doggie friends were very interesting factor at the Hike too. They all got along admirably, and you could see the enjoyment and even smiles on their faces through out the Hike. 🙂
The Hike quickly became a Hike of old friends. I do not believe anyone did not feel this same way. You can feel the vibe in the Group when this happens in this manner. I believe that everyone feels its too. Even the 5 additional people who arrived a bit late for the Hike, yet alone on the Trails, tracked the Group down. CONGRATS on both the abilities to find us and the determination to keep looking until you did discover our whereabouts. 🙂 Well Done Explorers!
The HIKE pictures are about 70% from a new member….Majd, and the rest are from Kevin, Jeanine and myself. We will be repeating the Spring Wild Flowers HIKE in the next week or so, for those who missed this last minute scheduled HIKE. It was mainly talked about on Facebook;s HIKING MICHIGAN's PAGE. BUT…..everyone on the official web site Hiking Groups email list, received an email announcement on the Thursday before the Hike. You cannot always depend on Facebook for our HIKE schedule. YES….we get most of the Hikes posted there. But the guaranteed place to make sure you get a notice of each and every HIKE, and nothing else, is by being an official member and on our emails list.
It only takes an email to me, Rob Golda, through our web site at: http://www.HikingMichigan.com Just drop us that email, tell us which Hiking Group you wish to join (the S.E.MI. Group, or the Hiking North/Central group) and let us know the county you live in, so we can better schedule Hikes near to the majority of the members. That;s it. YOU will NEVER miss a HIKE Notice, ever again.
Also wanted to let everyone know that we will be starting something new next week. It is our SECRET HIKES PROGRAM. These special scheduled Hikes will be to places not know by anyone, or by very few people. They are special Nature places and environments I have personally kept secret for up to 30 years now. The first 15 people to email in a reservation to these HIKEs announcements, will be invited to join in. 15 people maximum. In some cases that total will drop to 10 people only. To not disturb the local wildlife and environments. We will be visiting and exploring rare environments, Lost Islands, secret paths, Trails and Hiking areas that almost know one really know about. Some very true Explorations.

White Flowers Pendant Necklace
Every girl must have a simple but stunning piece of jewelry in her wardrobe, especially one like this white flowers pendant necklace! I love this one because it is the only one like it. And because it makes a strong statement with a sense of simplicity and grace. I also love it because it will be beautiful worn alone or stacked with other necklaces.
This necklace is made of a small gold chain, an embellished pendant, and gold hardware. White and gold flowers, stems and leaves, rhinestones, and white shell cabochons lying on top of a gold filigree base make up the pendant. A small chain holds this pendant. Lastly, this necklace is yellow gold-based.
This white flowers pendant necklace is 18.5″ long, including the spring clasp and rind, which are .5″ long. And finally, the pendant is 1.25″ wide and hangs an additional 1.75″. Lastly, S'leeney's Vintage repurposed this necklace using vintage parts.

The Springfield Senior High Class of 1976 Time Capsule, with all those lovely words and trinkets, a few treasured hopes and secrets that should remain secret, and – what I wrote then, what I confessed to –.
If the capsule is dug up, what I bragged about would ruin my life now – my new life. Long ago, I didn't think it would matter to me, dad a mill-worker and mom taking in washing and my burning desire to be a long-haul truck driver.

Serving as the middle ground between cramped compact crossovers and bulky SUVs, the 2019 Ford Explorer and the 2019 Honda Pilot bring a convenient blend of comfort and performance. Check out how these two vehicles measure up when they go toe-to-toe in this comparison.
The Ford Explorer comes standard with a 3.5-liter DOHC V6 engine, which delivers 290 horsepower. The Honda Pilot's standard 3.5-liter SOHC V6 engine makes it less powerful than the Explorer. The added horsepower doesn't come with an extra cost. In fact, the 2019 Explorer costs less with a starting MSRP of $32,365. The 2019 Pilot is about $1,000 more expensive with its starting MSRP of $33,350.

2019 Ford Explorer Lineup at Akins Ford near Atlanta, GA: Better Engine Performance and Interior than the 2019 Honda Pilot Lineup
While the Pilot remains limited to the one engine option, the Explorer has two more up its sleeve: the turbocharged four-cylinder engine and the twin-turbo V6. Packing up to 365 horsepower, the twin-turbo V6 leaves no question as to which model is the most powerful.
The Explorer offers more legroom than the Pilot in all three rows, providing 2 inches more front legroom, 1.1 inches more rear legroom and 1.4 inches more third-row legroom. The Explorer also features up to 1.3 inches more head room than the Pilot.
Behind the third-row seats, the Ford Explorer features a spacious cargo space that spans 21.0 cubic feet. The Honda Pilot provides just 18.5 cubic feet of space, giving it 2.5 cubic feet less space to offer. The Explorer even features a switch that will automatically fold or unfold the second- or third-row seats so you can easily adjust your cargo space as needed. This feature is not offered on the Pilot.

To get a greater number of Canadian youth working next summer during Canada's 150th anniversary year, all not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers, and small businesses with up to 50 employees can now apply for funding from the Government of Canada.
In Oakville, over $1 million in funding was received this past year creating 352 summer jobs. The summer jobs in Oakville ranged from engineering and business administration to camp counselling and grounds keeping. Beneficiaries were located across the riding of Oakville, from Bristol Circle to Bronte Creek Provincial Park.
Employers are also invited to include applications that complement this year's identified national priorities, which include:
The application period runs until January 20, 2017. Applicants approved for funding will be able to hire students as early as April 2017.
Summer Jobs applications will be available at Service Canada Centres and online at servicecanada.gc.ca/csj. Employers will be able to complete and submit their applications online, by mail or in person. To support employers, the Canada Summer Jobs Applicant guide for 2017 is also available online for download to provide instructions on filling out an application, eligibility requirements, and assessment criteria.
The Canada Summer Jobs Program allows young Canadians, now more than ever, access to meaningful/substantive work at the beginning of their careers. With many young people having difficulty finding work experience within their fields, the Canada Summer Jobs is one way in which the Government of Canada is fulfilling its commitment to helping youth overcome barriers to employment. These students are gaining valuable experience as they work towards transitioning to the labour market, and Oakville has been remarkably fortunate to have received such significant support from the federal government.
Any questions employers have regarding their application can be forwarded to 1-800-935-5555 or servicecanada.gc.ca/csj.
