Nothing kills RVing fun like a disgusting, backed-up toilet! Let's be honest, isn't a comfortable bathroom experience one of the main reasons why we buy RVs?! If you want to get rid of your clog, read on, and we'll tell you all you need to know to get it taken care of! Don't worry. In most cases this a very inexpensive and easy fix!
What's covered in this guide:
The majority of clogged RV toilets come from pyramid plugs (read more about pyramid plugs below). To deal with these clogs, many people will use a wand or try to break up the plug manually. But we're here to tell you, it doesn't have to be so messy!
What you need to do is knock out the base of the pyramid plug. As soon as you do so, the pyramid will collapse into the bottom of your tank, and if you do it correctly, the waste will flow out of the tank and into the sewer.
So how do you do it? One option is to go through all of the work of hauling your rig into a dealership or repair shop where they will charge you $100 - $200 (on average) to use a spray wand. A spray wand reaches into your tank and sprays the clog with water to breakup and clear the debris. Or… (and the better option in our opinion!) you could unclog your RV toilet the easy and inexpensive way with Unique Tank Cleaner.
Here's how easy it is:
Unique Tank Cleaner employs billions of safe bacteria cultures to eat the solid waste in your tank, turning everything into liquid so it can flow out smoothly. These bacteria are essentially probiotics, like you find in yogurt, and all of the ingredients in Unique Tank Cleaner are safe for the environment, people, and pets.
Like we said above, in most cases, the reason an RV's toilet gets clogged is because of a nasty little thing called a "pyramid plug."
A pyramid plug is literally a pile of poop and toilet paper that has built up from the bottom of your black water holding tank and formed a pyramid of grossness that has now reached your toilet and is clogging it up. When they have a clogged RV toilet, many people incorrectly assume that their waste water tank is totally full. For a very few people, this may indeed be the case, but for most people, the culprit is not a completely clogged tank but, in fact, a pyramid of waste.
To understand why you get a pyramid plug, you first have to understand that your holding tank is essentially flat on the bottom. Why is this important? Well, most people who get pyramid plugs do not follow Rule #1 of The Unique Method—KEEP YOUR VALVE CLOSED.
Here's how it works: when your black water valve is kept in the closed position during normal operation, the solid and liquid waste accumulate in your tank and slosh around. When you dump, all of that sloshing waste flows out smoothly.
However, if you keep your black water valve in the open position during normal operation, every time you use the toilet, the liquid waste flows freely out of the tank and into the sewer, but because your tank is flat on the bottom, the solid waste accumulates. Over time, if you keep adding more and more of that solid waste, you will begin to build a pyramid plug.
A Couple Notes:
Don't worry! Even if your tank is completely clogged from a compacted line (which is very rare), Unique Tank Cleaner can open it!
In the case of a completely clogged line, you may need to allow for more time in order for the product to work effectively (like 18 hours). Also, if your line is completely clogged, there is a good chance that a lot of liquid is still present in the tank, which means that you won't have to add water before using Unique Tank Cleaner. (That being said, we do recommend that you add water if you can—just to be safe!) However, despite these caveats, the treatment steps are the same—as outlined above.
To prevent backups, you must ensure that the liquid inside the tank is a sloshy mixture. You can achieve this by following The Unique Method. The Unique Method is a series of practices that we have created through our own experience and working with thousands of RVers over the years. Try it out and tell us what you think! We've found that it can be a lot to grasp at first, but is absolutely worth it to RV clog AND odor free!
You might think that a lot of people experience clogged toilets when dry camping (boondocking) because they use very little water with each flush, but in most cases, dry campers have to keep their valve closed until they get to a dump station. This allows for plenty of sloshy action inside the tank that can help keep the waste liquefied.
We know, we sound like a broken record, but we cannot stress it enough: keep your valve closed! As much as we like to think of our RVs as our homes, the plumbing simply doesn't work the same way as the plumbing in your home, so you can't expect your waste to flow out into the sewer lines with every flush.
Hopefully this answers all of your questions about your clogged toilet. If you should find yourself in this putridly poopy predicament and need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at email@example.com. We're more than happy to help you get your toilet issues back on track!
Happy Camping!

How I've Learned to Deal with Mental Illness
October 14, 2019
Don't ask me if I want to hang out on Mondays. I can't. Mondays are my reserved days for my therapist. Every Monday after school, I hop in my "mom car" and drive to Mansfield to cry in someone's office and express to him how I've been feeling over the past week. We talk about anything under the sun. Some days I'm feeling great and we talk about fun stuff. A lot of days, we talk about how my anxiety and panic attacks have become a weight that feels impossible to lift. We talk about my irrational fear of the week, which can range from realistic things such as, "Do my friends even like me?" to weirder things like: "What if a black hole ate the sun?" And yes, that was a weird fear I had for about three days before realizing that it made no sense. There are days where right after our session, I get into my car and just sit there and cry.
Every two to six months I take my annual trip to my psychiatrist with one of my parents. We discuss how I've been doing and whether or not we need to change the medication I take to keep my anxiety and panic attacks at bay. Around this time is when I typically get a refill of my rescue medicine, the kind that helps calm my brain down when I'm having a panic attack, and consequently turns me into a zombie for the rest of the day.
Every morning when I wake up, I immediately go into my kitchen. I pour myself a glass of orange juice (because I have the worst gag reflex) to swallow my daily medication. Two of the four pills I take are meant to help manage my anxiety disorder. If I'm having a particularly tough morning, I take a dissolvable pill under my tongue that is meant to increase the effects of the chemicals in my brain that makes me relax. So if I ever show up to school and I'm even more quiet then I usually am, you'll know why.
I really don't want to sugarcoat anything. Struggling with mental health is the pits and not everyday is easy. There are days where I wake up feeling like someone has airlifted and dropped an elephant onto my chest. Some days I don't want to get out of bed, and a lot of days I have a lack of motivation to do anything. It affects almost every area of my life and it has forced me to grow up a lot faster than I would have preferred to. Mental health changes a person and how they interact with the world. It forces people to have a more mature outlook on life and it has definitely changed my perspective.
When I describe how my mental illness makes me feel to a person, I usually say it feels like everything is on fire and nobody else can see the fire except for me. That feeling of dread washes over me and the fire begins to suffocate me. I look around me and everyone in the vicinity is acting as if the fire isn't there. And I know it isn't there. It's a chemical imbalance in my brain that's distorting how I process fearful thoughts. But nothing can change the fact that I still see the fire and feel it on my skin and in my lungs. Sometimes it's so unbearable that I can't stand to sit where I am. I can't pretend like I'm like everyone else and that I don't see it. It's too big and too loud and I'm starting to not be able to see through the clouds of smoke.
Over the years, I've learned what fans the fire and what calms it. Nowadays the fire is nothing but a small flame, but some days I find myself feeding it. I hear or see something that sets my brain off for some reason and suddenly my brain is tossing firewood everywhere like it's candy. Once I realize I'm going off the deep end, I start doing breathing exercises. I either do one big inhale and one long exhale or I breathe in for six counts, hold it for six counts, and exhale for six counts. I repeat these steps until my brain settles down. Another thing I do is exercise the part of my brain that deals with logic, because when I'm anxious my brain tosses logic out the window. I count backwards from 100 to one counting by threes. I'll play word or puzzle games on my phone or read a book that I enjoy. Kickstarting the logic side of my brain forces me to start actually thinking logically, which helps a lot when trying to calm myself down. Talking to people helps me out a lot as well. I'll usually talk to my mom and my sister and if whatever I'm worrying about is something they already know about, we instead try focusing on talking about literally anything else. My mom asks me tons of random questions that force me to stop thinking about what I'm afraid of. My sister will make me laugh so hard that I forget all about whatever it was that I was even worrying about. Another thing my sister and I will often enjoy doing is watching stupid YouTube videos that make us laugh or TV shows that we both enjoy.
Sometimes my anxiety gets serious and the flames turn into a bonfire, also known as a panic attack. That's typically when I realize that I need some extra help, because it usually makes me feel like I'm dying (many people often compare it to having a heart attack?). I'll take some of my rescue medication and I'll sit still. Sometimes crying helps, but a lot of times it fuels the flames and makes me panic more. During a panic attack I start by doing breathing exercises, followed closely by turning on every fan in my room because I usually start to get really warm. I'll lay down because I usually get pretty dizzy during an attack. My stomach is usually in knots and my head pounds. Occasionally my vision goes completely blurry and I have to close my eyes. My heart is usually going 100 miles an hour and my arms and legs start to feel numb.
On average, panic attacks last anywhere between five and ten minutes, so I'm never panicked for long. They're scary every single time I have them, but they're a lot easier to deal with now. Sometimes I'll get them in school and I end up in the nurses' office because I just need a few minutes to catch my breath.
Talking about my mental illness is not a new thing for me, this has been an ongoing struggle for eight years. It feels like a topic that has garnered a lot of attention over the past few years, but not nearly enough. I think it's still a taboo topic for people and it's often romanticized as a way of appearing relatable to young people. For that reason alone, I decided a long time ago to be open about my struggles so that I could be a source of comfort for friends or family who are also struggling. For something that has gotten a lot of attention as of late, mental health is still an isolating thing for many people. I don't love the part of myself that makes me nervous all the time, but it's a part of me and I've learned to accept it.
Most of all, I know what it feels like to feel alone when facing struggles. I understand feeling self conscious about my anxiety and feeling isolated from my peers. I understand feeling like all I can do is live one day at a time and pray that I make it through the week without falling apart. And, on a more serious note, I understand what it feels like to just feel like giving up. It's a scary thought, but over the years I've learned that I have control over my life and over how much power I choose to let my anxiety have. In a weird way, I'd say I'm too petty to let myself get to that place. I'm too determined to live and too determined to thrive and I find that my pettiness is what consistently drives me forward. I don't want to let my anxiety rule over my life and I don't want to be another tragic story. I want to be able to confidently tell people that I have a happy life filled with so many blessings, because I do. I have a family who loves and supports me, friends who care about me, dogs who love me unconditionally, and I've got my main man God watching out for me.
I love my life, flaws and all, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. My darkest days helped make my normal days brighter. I've grown and have matured as a person and I've learned to be thankful for the blessings in my life. I take each day as they come and am endlessly thankful for the good days and I work through the bad ones.

Guests satisfaction in hotel business is crucial; happy clients are likely to visit again and recommend the hotel to others. Recommendations help hoteliers to broaden their audience without investing in any promotional activity. This can sometimes result in businesses struggling to provide experiences, rather than services.
"The hotel of the future", a research piece by Deloitte, emphasises that consumers increasingly expect new capabilities, personalisation and seamlessness in their hospitality experience. The main task for hotel management is to provide their guests with fast services, on-time information and 24/7 attention.
A wealth of mobile, digital, cloud and technology solutions can be used to shorten the gap between customers' raising expectations and the level of hotel services. Let's learn more about an application that has already grabbed the attention of the most famous hotels like Marriott and Hilton, but is still affordable for small accommodations.
Besides common issues like raising competition from platforms like Airbnb, or lack of qualified staff, hotel managers also face other kinds of challenges. They are related to customer perception, which influences business more than people think.
Constantly changing guest expectations
Current research characterises modern customers as tech-savvy and independent. They want to get the most value for their money, no matter how much they spend. Hotel guests are even more demanding, as they expect both great service and personal interaction. As guests like comparisons, they liken new experiences to previous ones and want to get better services each time.
Poor customer satisfaction
According to Deloitte research, 1 in 4 travellers allocate more than 75% of their share of finances to their preferred hotel brand, yet some hoteliers still think they provide a space for sleep only. Such an approach kills experiences and leads to a loss of clientele due to dissatisfactory services.
Lack of entertainment
"Corporate hotels, they're not awful, but they're forgettable: nothing stands out, they all feel and look the same, you can't tell them apart, and you are happy to leave," reported business traveller David, to the Deloitte interviewers. Unfortunately, this experience is not limited to corporate hotels. Both businesspeople and holidaymakers want to be entertained, but they don't get it in most hotels and are left disappointed.
Ignoring these facts is not wise for managers who care about the future of their facilities - if the business wants to make guests feel appreciated, find a way to resolve their issues, at least partially. Guest experience management software, such as Hotel Mobile App, can help hotel owners to better respond to the wants and needs of their customers.
Imagine hotel guests checking in through a mobile app, without the need for a long visit to reception. Their room key is already loaded into the app. All additional services like transfers or spa facilities are available to book through the application. They can leave feedback about services after consumption and check out without receptionist assistance.
Hospitality will always require a human touch, so using the app doesn't mean the absence of live communication. Users still can ask staff for services or information, if they like. This digital environment just makes the process more convenient and gives customers the opportunity to choose.
Even the simplest business improvement requires an investment of time and money, and when we talk about investments we also talk about expediency. There are several reasons to develop hotel mobile application:
Accelerate the check in and check out process
The common check in process is all about paperwork, and sometimes queues. When there is no problem with the reservation, hotel registration takes 3 minutes in app, compared to up to 15 minutes at the reception desk. Check-out can take double this time. Hotel Management Mobile App can resolve this problem, as customers who have booked a room can then register through the application. Custom solutions can also include in-app payment, so guest independence would be even higher.
Promote special offers and collect feedback
Hotel app users can receive promotional offers such as discounts or free items. Some hotels collaborate with other companies to provide free samples of their products, for instance cosmetics, to guests. There are many additional hotel services that are suitable for promotion. Guests consume more services, then rate them or write reviews, enabling management to understand the business strengths and weaknesses.
Increase the additional services revenue share
On average, about only 50-60% of hotel revenue is produced by room inventory, while food, beverages and additional services brings in the remaining 40 -50%. It is obvious that additional services have huge potential, which is usually unrealised or underutilised. Guests rarely notice brochures at reception, even if they need extra services. In-app notifications and offers, however, would be instantly seen, leading to an increase in the number of potential orders.
Increase customer satisfaction
What makes customers happy? Fast services, personalisation, bonuses and entertainment make hotel guests feel better during vacations or business trips. CMO by Adobe highlights that customer spends increase, alongside trust, after building a relationship. Eventually, loyal customers spend 67% more than new ones.
Finally, hoteliers decide if they should or shouldn't use hotel app by themselves. Not every business requires software solutions, but most hotel managers do experience at least some of the highlighted challenges. Therefore, they would be happy to have an app with useful features.
The app functionality depends on a particular hotel's needs and budget. Some invest generously to offer booking features or 360° views, while smaller hotels, using online travel agencies for booking, implement the following functionality:
Check in and check out
Convert paper forms into digital and try to simplify them as much as possible. For example, after booking through OTAs, users get a reservation number that can be used in the app to simplify the registration process by syncing up the data.
Mobile Lock
Hotel guests don't lose their keys anymore. Bluetooth technology enables guests to use their mobile phone as a key for their room, the gym, parking and other premises. After the guest has checked in, they get access to the digital key.
Room Upgrades
During the low season, most hotels are able to provide room upgrades for a nominal fee. It is easy for guests to complete this through the mobile app, or a hotel can offer the opportunity to upgrade stays as a loyalty bonus.
Additional Services and Discounts
Even though hotel management usually devotes considerable efforts to promoting services, guests often don't know about the offers they are eligible to receive. In-app notifications and suggestions keep users updated, and integration with a customer relationship management system can boost this feature.
According to Value Penguin stats, an average customer spends 9% of their travel budget on entertainment. That is great if you provide amusement inside the hotel, but if not, you can suggest places of interest to your guests. Maps, guides or information about local hotspots help people to spend more time relaxing.
The possible functions of the app are not limited to the features in this list. The extensive version may include loyalty program integration, direct booking, satisfaction management, or any specific features that hotel managers want to see. In case they are not sure which options to choose, existing hotel mobile applications can be used as a reference.
There are flagship companies in every industry, and a reader won't be surprised by the fact that flagship hotels use hotel mobile apps. It is useful to study the best practices within the industry before developing a project, but sometimes others' failures can be even more useful than their successes. Either way, in-depth analysis requires the determination of both pros and cons.
Over one million users downloaded the Marriott Bonvoy mobile application. As one of the biggest hotel brands in the world, they provide bookings across 19 internal brands in 78 countries. The app features allow guests to contact the hotel before arrival and choose items to include into their room service. To make their stay more exciting, the hotel allows guests to browse maps and look through city guides within the app. The Marriott Rewards loyalty programme is also incorporated into the Bonvoy app, offering an end-to-end user experience.
Users rated Marriott Bonvoy as 4.8 stars on thee App Store and 4 on the Google Play store. Many reviews suggest the app doesn't work properly and should be improved, so hotel managers have a lot to learn from Marriott's example.
The original idea is full of hands-on features, such as booking, check-in, digital keys, add-on ordering and check-out. The hotel also shows they care about customers' entertainment, providing information about popular local destinations.
However, great app functionality becomes useless in cases of poor development. The example shows there are few crucial points to consider when providing a hotel booking mobile app to guests. Some of them are not obvious, but the success of the whole project depends on them.
Think over features and custom software
Most hotel owners are sure their hotel is special, and they may have a point, however customers perceive distinct companies differently. Project development is all about preparation, so put many hours into this part. Match the services you provide with customer expectations and your budget to create an app concept. Most software development companies provide project estimate and tech consulting within 48 hours. An elaborated concept and professional point of view are two things you need to start a project.
Don't launch a half ready application
Many managers hurry to try developed software. They spread an app among guests, or even promote it using media advertising. After a while, people find bugs and rate the solution as an inappropriate one. The project budget becomes bigger, as the manager needs to fix issues and persuade people to try the app one more time. Here comes an easy, but valuable piece of advice: try the app by yourself, before the launch, and ensure all features work correctly. It is worth precious time, as poor app work can scare early users away.
Don't force users to download the app
More than 50 percent of smartphone users download zero mobile apps per month, according to Statista. Upon entering the hotel, offer guests devices with the app installed so they can try it out , but don't exclude the opportunity for them to download it on a personal gadget. Even here, it is better to allow users to choose.
Even though the customer experience trend has been rising during the past 10 years, its importance in the hotel industry is still underestimated. Most managers concentrate their attention on the service itself, while the process of guests consuming this service is not explored enough.
There are many ways to improve a guest's stay, such as compliments like a free bar, room upgrades, superior design of the rooms or a sincere birthday congratulations. However, there are even more possibilities to mess up, like lack of attention, missed room amenities and other issues. We can't prevent all of them, but we can moderate the situation.
Hotel Mobile App is an additional tool with various features customised for the particular hotel specifics. It is a tangible chance to shorten the gap between small hotel services and more upmarket ones, without significant investments.

Feinstein calls Trump erratic and unfit. But she'll try to work with him
President Trump is erratic, lacks stability and hasn't shown himself fit to hold office, Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Tuesday, but she hasn't given up the notion of working with him.
"I do not believe he is a good president. I do not believe he is fit to be president. I do not believe that we have the stability in the executive office that we need to have," Feinstein, D-Calif., said during an interview with The Chronicle's editorial board.
"I think there's an erratic behavior there that is deeply concerning," Feinstein said.
But Feinstein, who is trying to win support for a new assault weapons ban — a bill for which she has no Republican co-sponsors — noted that she would need Trump's signature on any measure she can get through Congress.
"I don't have a choice if I want him to sign something that I'm doing like assault weapons," Feinstein said. "There's nothing I can really do about it until either a house changes (into Democratic control) or there's a constitutional crisis.
"So that's what makes what Bob Mueller's work so important," Feinstein said, referring to the special counsel's investigation into possible collusion between Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government.
Feinstein brushed aside talk of impeachment before Mueller's probe is finished.
The senator angered many Democrats last year when she said of Trump, "The question is whether he can learn and change. If so, I believe he can be a good president."
Asked Tuesday whether she still held out hope of working with Trump, she said, "What difference does it make what I hope or don't hope? I mean, it is what it is. The ability to do something about it is small because we (Democrats) don't control either one of the houses. And that's just a fact of life."
Feinstein said she lost faith in Trump's ability to be true to his word after his flip-flops concerning two issues that are dear to her: gun control and the fate of young immigrants covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program. Trump canceled the program last year, potentially exposing to deportation about 690,000 young immigrants who came to the U.S. as minors.
But he appeared to be open to giving Democrats an opportunity to propose legislation to protect DACA recipients during a January meeting at the White House that was open to the media.
"We're going to do DACA," Trump told Feinstein. But the next day, he reversed field. And this week, Trump tweeted that "DACA is dead."
Even more painful to Feinstein was when Trump changed his mind on curbing assault weapons. In February, she was among a bipartisan group of 17 legislators who met with Trump for a televised meeting on gun control. There — with the cameras rolling and Feinstein seated next to him — Trump demanded that legislators come together on "one terrific bill" on guns that would expand background checks and perhaps include Feinstein's proposed ban on assault weapons.
Trump also directed lawmakers to consider Feinstein's new assault weapons ban. "Dianne, add what you have also," Trump told her. Cameras caught Feinstein rubbing her hands gleefully at the suggestion.
"And that lasted for 24 hours," until Trump changed his mind, Feinstein said Tuesday.
"I've served under Republican and Democratic presidents," said Feinstein, who was first elected to the Senate in 1992. "There was always a sense of stability. A president's word always meant something. It didn't change the day after."
Feinstein conceded she has heard from more liberal Democrats that she has not been tough enough on Trump.
"I'm not a name-caller. I don't call people names. All people want to hear, it appears, are epithets about him," she said. "My job is to get legislation passed or get problems solved or find money to help solve those problems."

Iran making headway despite sanctions: Official
Chairman of National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of Iran's Majlis Alaeddin Boroujerdi in a meeting with his Kenyan counterpart, Mohamed Yusuf Haji, in Tehran on Saturday said that the Islamic Republic is making rapid progress despite US-led sanctions against the country.
According to Press TV, he said: "Contrary to the illusions of those who have designed and implemented cruel sanctions against Iran, our country started moving towards progress very fast."
The West's measures against Iran over the past three decades have boosted the "spirit of resistance and self-reliance" in the country, the official added.
The illegal US-engineered sanctions on Iran have been imposed based on the unfounded accusation that Tehran is pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program.
Iran rejects the allegation, arguing that as a committed signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
Elsewhere in his comments, the Iranian lawmaker referred to friendly relations between Iran and Kenya and stressed the need for strengthening Tehran-Nairobi ties in all areas especially in the parliamentary field.
The Kenyan official, for his part, said his country's parliament and government are considering broader relations with the Islamic Republic as an important and influential country in the Middle East region.
Despite foreign pressures and sanctions, Iran has made irreversible progress in different fields, including peaceful nuclear technology, he added.
The Kenyan lawmaker also appreciated Iran's achievements in scientific, industrial and technological areas and demanded his country benefit from these achievements.

No war needed: Biazon says political tricks key to victory in West PH Sea
Unlike what Duterte's dogs are saying, the fight over the West Philippine Sea (WPS) is winnable.
Muntinlupa Rep. Ruffy Biazon snapped back at administration allies who suddenly think that people want President Rodrigo Duterte to wage a war against the Chinese just to assert our ownership of the islands which they have been trying to occupy, which also saw a Chinese vessel ram and sink a Filipino boat at Recto Bank.
The politiko said it's not time for war, but rather for the administration to get creative.
"It should be clear to us now that the War in WPS is not with the use of nuclear weapons or military invasion. It's fought with political & diplomatic maneuvers," Biazon said. "In a fight like that, I believe PH has a fighting chance."

Reprints: James Hoi Po Hui, MBBS, MD, FRCS, NUHS Tower Block, Level 11, 1E Kent Ridge Road, Singapore 119228, Singapore. E-mail: email@example.com. Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics: July 2020 - Volume 40 - Issue 6 - p e402-e405 doi: 10.1097/BPO.0000000000001575 Free Metrics The past few months has witnessed countries, and increasingly the world being inundated by the onslaught of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Since it was first discovered by Chinese authorities in Wuhan, China as a cluster outbreak of pneumonia cases,1 COVID-19 has since spread to affect multiple countries across all continents. Given its highly infectious nature and rapid uncontrollable spread, the World Health Organization (WHO) has, on March 11, 2020, declared this COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic.2 This subsequently resulted in massive self-imposed lockdowns, mass cancellation of community events and the implementation of social distancing measures as countries scramble to keep COVID-19 infections under control.3–5 Health care systems globally are increasingly overwhelmed by the recent surge in COVID-19 infections.6,7 Inevitably, this has had a significant impact on the provision of orthopaedic care and services. In our previous paper,8 we have described how the practice of orthopaedic surgery in Singapore has been affected by this COVID-19 outbreak. Among others, nonurgent elective surgery has been canceled, outpatient clinics have been rationalized and segregated teams setup to ensure the smooth running of key services while minimizing cross-contamination. Pediatric orthopaedics has been similarly affected, if not more so than our other subspecialty counterparts. While the general principles of care and guidelines which we have earlier described still apply, there are certain nuances and specifics in pediatric care that we, in the pediatric orthopaedic community, will do well to take note of, as we adjust our clinical practice in response to this evolving COVID-19 crisis. While general principles of care remain the same, pediatric COVID-19 infections present a significant clinical conundrum given significant differences in their pathophysiology and presentation compared with their adult counterparts. Children are less likely to be infected and also less likely to die of COVID-19 infections compared with adults.9 Even when infected, most children report a milder course of the disease, and can remain asymptomatic.10,11 An epidemiological study from Wuhan, China reported that up to 15% of pediatric patients can remain clinically asymptomatic without radiologic features of pneumonia even with ongoing COVID-19 infection.10 This difference in disease severity between children and adults is multifactorial, and are largely attributed to both exposure and host factors. Children are less likely to travel and are hence less exposed to COVID-19 infections juxtaposed to adults. Compared with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), SARS-CoV-2 (responsible for COVID-19 infections) shares similar amino acid homology and is postulated to similarly utilize angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 as a cell receptor for infection.12,13 The binding ability of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in children is lower than that in adults, and this possibly explains for their milder clinical disease course.14 Antibody levels in children may also be higher compared with adults, given their higher incidence of viral respiratory infections, for example, respiratory syncytial virus particularly during the winter months.15 In addition, among infected children, younger children had more severe disease compared with older ones. In a recent study published in Pediatrics,15 10.6% of infants younger than 1 year old reported severe disease compared with 7.3% in children between 1 and 5 years old, and 4.2% in older children between 6 and 10 years old. A good understanding of these key differences in symptomology, presentation and disease course between pediatric and adult COVID-19 infections is crucial in triage and diagnosis, particularly so in health care systems without ready access to laboratory testing and where maximum surge capacity has been exceeded. These nuances have significant implications on operational considerations in the pediatric setting, which we, pediatric orthopaedic surgeons should be cognizant of when designing clinical workflows, and managing pediatric patients during this COVID-19 crisis. The general framework of orthopaedic management during this COVID-19 crisis as we previously described remain the same.8 The 3 same overarching principles need to be adhered to—(1) clinical urgency, (2) patient and health care worker protection, and (3) conservation of health care resources. Clinical management and operational workflows should accordingly be guided by these 3 principles, and applied to the inpatient, outpatient and operating theater setting in the pediatric orthopaedic context, as we rally as a community to combat this outbreak. Firstly, in the outpatient context, general guidelines similar to those being used for adult orthopaedic patients should be followed. These include the donning of appropriate personal protective equipment, enforcement of strict hand hygiene for both patients and health care personnel, and the deployment of dedicated contamination teams in the reviewing of patients suspected of or confirmed with COVID-19 infections. The duration between nonurgent outpatient consultations should be prolonged. Text messages can be sent to patients, as they have been done locally, to advise patients to postpone their clinic appointments if they have acute respiratory symptoms, positive travel, or contact histories. Patients requiring chronic medications have also been advised to refill their prescriptions via the home delivery of medications. In the pediatric orthopaedic context, this will include the cerebral palsy patients we commonly see who may be on antispasticity modulators, for example, baclofen and patients with rickets who require their vitamin D/calcium supplements. In patients with osteogenesis imperfecta who require cyclical pamidronate infusions, we should consider the use of longer-acting zoledronate.16 This allows for a longer time interval between infusions and therefore less hospital visits,17 reducing the exposure of children to the higher risk hospital environment. Switching to oral risedronate can also be considered for patients with milder forms of osteogenesis imperfecta.18 In addition, when reviewing patients in the emergency setting, fractures where possible, should be managed conservatively without compromising on clinical care. At this time of writing, discussions are underway for the setting up of virtual fracture clinics so that selected patients can be managed remotely without undue exposure to nosocomial infections from the higher risk hospital environment. As mentioned earlier, symptomology and clinical presentation of COVID-19 infection in children differ significantly compared with their adult counterparts. Children are likely to have a milder course of disease and can appear asymptomatic even when infected. This has significant implications on screening guidelines in the inpatient/operative setting. Current screening guidelines for our adult orthopaedic patients at the National University Hospital, Singapore, as recommended by the Ministry of Health, mandate screening only for symptomatic patients with a recent travel or contact history in the preceding 14 days before presentation.19 With a milder or even asymptomatic course, COVID-19 infection in children may not be as clear or apparent compared with adults. This complicates pediatric care significantly for clinical and nursing teams. Clinicians should maintain heightened vigilance at all times when managing pediatric patients, and have a low threshold for screening their patients for COVID-19 infections. Operationally, as mentioned earlier as well, drawing from our previous experiences with the SARS outbreak in 2003, dedicated inpatient and outpatient teams have also been setup to minimize the risk of cross-contamination. These teams rotate on a weekly basis. Inpatient teams review inpatients, perform surgeries and provide "on-call" services, while outpatient teams are responsible for seeing patients in our specialised outpatient clinics. While such a team segregation may be feasible for larger departments with better manpower resources, we recognize that this may be logistically challenging for smaller departments with lesser numbers of staff. As experienced by our local pediatric orthopaedic colleagues at the KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKWCH), this team segregation practice resulted in staff being placed on overnight duty 3 to 4 times per week. These call duties were on top of their daily inpatient and surgical caseloads. Given its unsustainability and our increasing knowledge of the patterns of spread of COVID-19 (predominantly through droplets),20 this 2-team segregation policy was subsequently abolished at KKWCH after a 3-week trial. Normal clinical duties resumed, and the strict donning of personal protective equipment and hand hygiene was enforced upon all staff. Strict physical distancing guidelines were also followed. All staff maintained a distance of at least 1 m from each other, and interactions/meetings (only when strictly necessary) were restricted to <30 minutes. It is encouraging and heartening to note that so long as standard hand hygiene and personal precautions have been taken, there has been no spread of COVID-19 infections to health care workers who have been exposed to infected patients thus far. An additional conundrum resides in that our pediatric orthopaedic patients often have accompanying caregivers, some of whom may be on stay-home notices,21 served quarantine orders,22 or placed on leave of absence due to their recent travel or contact histories. This complicates isolation policies that have been put in place to protect the other pediatric patients and their caregivers in the wards. In this time of need where resources are stretched, it may not be prudent to isolate these families in isolation rooms, which could otherwise be used for isolating high suspect COVID-19 patients. Alternative caregiver arrangements will thus need to be sought. Failing which, the care of our pediatric patients may need to be fully entrusted to our ward nurses. Last, surgeries have been prioritized according to clinical urgency. Our COVID-19 swabs are processed by the laboratory twice a day; and it takes on average 4 hours before the swab results are made known. In urgent cases, for example, severe open fractures/devitalized limbs where a 4-hour wait for swab results may not be tenable, surgeries proceed with the surgical team donned in full protective gear, for example, powered air-purifying respirator. Less urgent emergency cases still requiring surgery (predominantly fractures and tumors) have also been allowed to proceed. In instances where these patients concomitantly complain of respiratory symptoms, mandatory COVID-19 swabs are taken. These patients are also admitted to designated isolation wards. In view of the escalating situation, all nonurgent elective surgeries have since been canceled. Only day surgery cases, for example, simple implant removals and anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions have been allowed to continue. These patients are discharged within the same day. Such a practice allows for the conservation of hospital resources and frees up operating theater manpower and hospital beds for emergency admissions. Temporizing measures must be considered for elective patients who have had their surgeries canceled/postponed as a result of the crisis. In the pediatric orthopaedic context, these are predominantly patients in whom bony work is required, that is, osteotomies for bone lengthening, complex lower limb reconstructions, hip coverage for dysplasia, etc. Patients and their parents must be appropriately counseled on the conservative options available. Patients with neuromuscular conditions, for example, Charcot-Marie-Tooth with chronic pain requiring surgery should be managed appropriately with analgesia if needed. Limb-lengthening procedures for patients with conditions such as fibula hemimelia should be managed expectantly with orthotics like a shoe raise. These patients (and their parents) should be advised to adhere to these conservative treatment plans as much as possible to mitigate the worsening of any symptoms. Besides clinical care, we also have additional responsibilities in education and research. Fulfilling these mandates in challenging times like these requires us to step out of our comfort zones and adopt a novel, hitherto unexplored solutions. With the suspension of traditional face-to-face meetings, this is perhaps an opportune time for us to evaluate the role of technology in delivering our workplace needs. To ensure continuity in resident education, teaching sessions have now been shifted online to video-conferencing platforms, for example, ZOOM. Residents and faculty are now able to log in remotely using their laptops/hand-held devices for morning meetings and tutorials. In the same vein, technology has also been harnessed to enhance clinical communication in this period of team segregation, especially during team handovers. With the use of proprietary secured messaging applications, in our instance TigerText, teams are able to share patient information and even upload clinical photographs to ensure proper handovers, while ensuring security and data protection. The cancellation of elective surgeries will undeniably result in the loss of precious training opportunities for our residents. This is particularly so given the relatively high elective load seen in pediatric orthopaedics. To circumvent this, our department has shifted practical training sessions to the dissection hall instead. Cadaveric anatomical dissection has been used as an important teaching tool for surgical specialties around the world.23 It has been shown to improve surgical outcomes by helping residents identify anatomical landmarks and allowing them to practice procedures without stress in a comfortable environment.24 As an academic medical center, we are fortunate to have access to human cadavers and anatomic dissection facilities. These facilities have been utilized to deliver our training needs in this time of reduced surgical caseloads. During this downtime, anatomical demonstrations have been carried out, and residents and faculty alike were able to familiarize ourselves with complex and less commonly performed procedures such as the Ganz periacetabular osteotomy and the MacIntosh procedure. Residents were also given hands-on exposure with the various surgical approaches less commonly encountered in clinical practice, for example, the posterior approach to the knee. Emergency procedures such as lower limb fasciotomies were reemphasized with cadaveric specimens. These teaching sessions were supplemented with the viewing of instructional videos, which further reinforced and consolidated learning for our residents. Early feedback has been extremely encouraging from both faculty and residents alike. CONCLUSIONS There are significant differences pertaining to pediatric orthopaedic care which are different compared with their adult counterparts. While general principles and guidelines for adult patients can similarly be applied, special key considerations need to be given for our pediatric patients. As pediatric orthopaedic surgeons, we need to be cognizant of these nuances, so as to deliver the most effective care for our patients, while ensuring our patients' and our safety at the same time. Smooth seas never made a skilled sailor. This challenging period is a test of our resilience, our adaptability, and our resourcefulness. Our pediatric orthopaedic community can certainly punch above its weight in responding to this crisis.REFERENCES 1. Zhu N, Zhang D, Wang W, et al.

The 2015 Recognition Award Gala: the success of a renewed event
With the theme for 2015 being "tomorrow's leaders," the Recognition Award Gala introduced a new format to mark the 30th anniversary of the Ambassadors Club. The marquee event, hosted by Marius Brisson, was attended by 400 people from the tourism industry, the business world and the academic community, who came together to salute the exceptional work of 14 new Ambassadors and four star student researchers. This year was the first time the award ceremony and the gastronomy portion of the evening were jointly and concurrently held in the same room.
The much coveted Gastronomy Symphony featured Capital Catering as well as the city's major hotels: the Sheraton Centre Montréal, the InterContinental Montréal, the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth, the Hyatt Regency Montréal, the Marriott Château Champlain, the Westin Montréal and the Hilton Montréal Bonaventure. The seven chefs prepared refined, distinctly flavoured dishes that wowed the guests. This year's Gastronomy Symphony was an incredible showcase of know-how and virtuoso performances.
Produced by the Palais des congrès, the 2015 Recognition Award Gala was made possible with the support of numerous partners, including the Québec Department of Tourism, Freeman Audio Visual, Idées au cube, CGI, GES, the Montréal International Auto Show and Tourisme Montréal.
The photo album of the event is available on Flickr.

Rubbing your skin with a salt scrub allows the texture of the salt scrub to exfoliate and refine the skin and using it as a soap keeps your shower cleaner!
Scrubbing with a salt bar can stimulate blood circulation and remove daily toxins from your skin.
The Charcoal Bar (Hellfire & Brimstone) is awesome at getting rid of sweat rashes, sorting the yuckiest of feet, in fact it sorts the really sweaty farmer/athlete after a big day- definitely no clogged pores with this soap. A review of this soap states that this is better than 'Grans remedy' For use in high sweat areas and is an awesome body soap.
These salt bars have the added benefit of being made with my raw goats milk, which means its gentle and nourishing while still being hard working.
Charcoal is not rough or coarse on the skin. Charcoal is highly absorbent, and it is this quality & ability which allows it to 'draw out' perspiration and toxins from below the surface of the skin. This prevents skin irritation due to retained perspiration - no retained perspiration = no skin irritation = no cracked skin = no infection.
Farmers and athletes - work and train harder faster for longer, with no skin issues
Goats Milk. Saponified oils: Organic Coconut & Olive Oil, Rice Bran & Castor Oil, Sea Salts, activated charcoal

I have extremely sensitive skin and this soap didnt irritate.
However I was expecting this to be more exfoliating, feels like I'm just using gentle soap. I personally feel this soap did not exfoliate at all.
Wouldn't purchase again.

I'm going to be celebrating my 10 years on ff.net by revisiting some of my old fandoms and since KND was my first I plan on writing something new. I'm wondering if anyone has anything special that they'd like to see? Drop me a comment and I'll see what I can do.

Amy Harriet Miller has been a force in the nonprofit community for more than 25 years. As the new president of Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts, Miller is charged with driving the complex relationship between the Edwards organization and the Mahaffey Theater, and transforming the community's understanding of its funding needs. A skilled nonprofit growth consultant, Miller is known for her expert fundraising, business development, marketing and public relations work. Prior to Miller's work with the Edwards Foundation, she was integral to the success of the Dali Museum's $40 million capital project to build the iconic venue that it is today. She also co-founded the History Council in early 2018.
Years in St. Pete
Organizations involved in
Board member of the History Council, Area Chambers of Commerce, arts organizations.
What gets you out of bed every day?
I have so much on my plate as the new president of the Edwards Foundation, I wake up in the middle of the night thinking of ideas, so I spring out of bed and try to take everything into action. I've basically restructured and revamped the entire organization in my first 30 days on the job. So my overactive brain is what gets me out of bed in the morning.
Why St. Pete?
St. Petersburg is amazing, I think it's a wonderful place to have a home base. I'm originally from South Bend, Indiana. I was the only high schooler in about five or six high schools in our area to even leave the state. I explored Florida as a young person visiting my grandparents, who lived in Naples. I just thought Florida was paradise. So when I went to school at the University of Tampa, I got my first out-of-college job in St. Petersburg and I've been here ever since.
What is one habit that you keep?
Practicing creative process. I think everything is a process when you're a fundraiser and you're given very lofty goals, and those goals tend to increase every single year - you really have to get a grip on not becoming overwhelmed. I keep myself from becoming overwhelmed by practicing process.
who are some people that influence you?
I've been recently influenced by Jim MacDougald, he is a mentor of mine, a friend, a former colleague. Betty and Mel Sembler, who were also employers of mine. They were probably the key people that inspired me to become a fundraiser. I've been inspired by lots of the philanthropists around town like Tom James, Bill Hough, Hazel Hough. I think everything they've done for the community has been beautiful and we have so much to thank them for.
What is one piece of insight - a book, methodology, practice - that you would share with our readers?
"Who Moved My Cheese?" I don't know if you've heard of that book, it's a very simple and profound and hilarious book.
What is one thing you wish you knew about your work 3 years ago?
How hard it is to please everyone. How hard it is to bring in acts that make everyone happy. People seem to think it's not good enough, not the right act, not large enough but they don't know the inside of the business. We have a lot of challenges and hurdles that we really can't do much about, like the size of our market, how far away we are from the state line, how expensive things are. But we are moving forward, we have a great relationship with LiveNation now and that is helping us attract bigger and better acts.
What's next?
Growing our board of directors, introducing new programs to the Edwards Foundation. Branding the Foundation, really. I don't think a lot of people even knew the Mahaffey is supported by the Foundation. That we are called the foundation is a misnomer because it leads some people to believe that we don't in fact need money, and that we award grants, which we don't.

The Arizona State Senate declared that pornography is a public health crisis. However, beyond their statement, no further action was made.
According to the bill, the technological advancement of this era and the universal availability of the internet are the reasons why children are exposed to pornography at a very alarming rate. This exposure resulted in low self-esteem, various eating disorders and disturbing sexual activities at a young age.
"Pornography perpetuates a sexually toxic environment that damages all areas of our society," a portion of the bill read. Furthermore, pornography is said to have "potential detrimental effects" on users, such as "toxic sexual behaviors, emotional, mental and medical illnesses and difficulty forming or maintaining intimate relationships."
There were 32 voters who were in favor of the bill and 28 who were against it. The bill itself was only less than a page. Moreover, there weren't any notable action from the members of the state legislature to "denounce pornography as a public health crisis."
State Representative Michelle Udall declared this as a crisis, saying that pornography sustains a sexually driven environment capable of destroying all societal aspects. Similar to the tobacco industry, Udall claimed that the pornography industry has created a public health crisis.
Udall added that pornography is used extensively even by minors. Even though her proposal was hugely symbolic and presents no legal effect, a number of supporters shared their hope for further restrictions on the use of pornography, according to the Arizona Republic.
Republican Sylvia Allen voted in favor of the resolution and realized that there wouldn't be any action of banning or outlawing pornography. Allen proceeded to claim that the bill will still have an impact, considering the fact that this will be the first statement made concerning the epidemic of pornography.
Democrat Jamescita Peshlakai, who voted against the resolution, said that there are currently bigger health issues which deserve more attention, like the measles outbreak. By 2019, the United States of America reported a total number of 764 cases of measles, the highest number reported since 1994.
Peshlakai said that they should focus more on health issues that are life-threatening. For her, the declaration of pornography as a public health crisis only shifted their attention from the epidemic that is hitting the country and the state of Arizona.

According to the current proposal by the ministry of new and renewable energy, the value addition done by units in SEZs will be charged BCD. Units not in SEZs will not face such a charge
NEW DELHI: Solar companies that have manufacturing units in special economic zones (SEZs) have expressed concern over the proposal to levy basic custom duty (BCD) on Chinese solar imports, saying the charge will give an unfair advantage to those outside the SEZs.
According to the current proposal by the ministry of new and renewable energy, the value addition done by units in SEZs will be charged BCD. Units not in SEZs will not face such a charge.
Industry executives said 63 per cent of solar cell and 43 per cent of solar module manufacturing capacity are located in SEZs.
SEZ units were allowed a one-time exemption on import duty on capital goods required to manufacture solar gear. They also enjoyed a rebate on the duty levied on electricity that was consumed for the operation of their manufacturing units which will not be affected by the BCD. The electricity duty rebate works out to be Rs 17 per kilowatt peak (kWp). One solar panel with a peak power of 1kWp functioning at its maximum capacity will produce 1kWh.
Saibaba Vutukuri, CEO of Vikram Solar, estimates that 300,000 to 400,000 jobs will be created over the coming years as companies start manufacturing in India.
However, the present solar market still depends heavily on China. "33 GW capacity of solar power deployment so far has been largely attained using imported cells and panels from China, despite India having had enough module manufacturing capacity," he said.
Companies are requesting either a partial or complete exemption to the duty. "This would also give manufacturers time to set up capacity outside the SEZs and also help the sector to prepare," Pinaki Bhattacharyya, CEO of Amp Energy India, told ET.
SL Agarwal, MD of Webel Solar, said, "This measure would be counter-productive and harm the very industry for whose protection the measure is intended to be imposed."
On Thursday, power and new & renewable energy minister RK Singh told reporters that the government plans to levy 15-20 per cent duty that would rise to 40 per cent in a year's time, to reduce dependence on China. About 80 per cent of solar imports come from China.

Manhood is Spiritual Strength
The first Characteristic of Christian Manhood is Spiritual Strength.
"I write unto you because you are strong."
The true man is strong in character, in his principles and resolutions. He does not halt half-hearted and fickle between two opinions; nor is he a reed which bends with every wind that blows; but rather a fair and stately tree that has struck its roots deep into the earth by the running waters. He is so strong in faith and hope and integrity of heart that he generates confidence and courage in all who are brought into contact with him. earnest, patient, self-reliant, he resolutely breasts the storms of life, and becomes the carver, or master, of his own fate. Whatever noble object he undertakes to compass, he pursues with determination and perseverance, and, as he knows religion and virtue to be worthy of esteem, he consecrates to them the best that he has to give. To Christ and His cause he devotes his whole being - body, mind, and soul/ and, vivified as he is by Divine grace, he labors until attains "unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fullness of Christ." (Ephes. IV.13).

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will on June 20, 2920 lead a one million march in Washington USA, against religious persecution, enslavement and oppression of Biafrans in various parts of the country.
According to the statement, group IPOB on Friday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said the march would also target on the liberation of victims of neo-colonial subjugation in Nigeria on that fateful day near Capitol Hill Washington.
It said the US authorities and law enforcement agencies had already granted permission for "this once in a lifetime march" to draw global attention to the unspeakable human misery and rivers of blood flowing throughout Biafraland and Nigeria at large.
The statement party reads: "We the global and indomitable family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to humbly notify Biafrans, friends of Biafra, persecuted Judeo-Christian communities in Nigeria, victims of Fulani terrorism and state sponsored genocide, including all who are reeling from brutal Fulanisation and genocidal land grabbing tendencies of the vandals from the Sahel aided by the regime in Aso Rock- about the upcoming IPOB One Million Man Match scheduled to hold in Washington DC on 20th of June 2020.

The Emilio Pucci Fall-Winter Collection 2013 left everyone breathless. On the catwalk is a woman who is determined and self-confident. Peter Dundas, the brand's designer, has created a unique style for a young woman with cool taste.
The minidresses envelop the body delicately just hinting at the figure, with a straight linear cut and very slight waistline, plus a wide belt, a style that recalls the 'sixties, revisited and modernised.
Short skirts and shorts, cut well above the knee, highlight long legs, covered however with thigh-length boots. Outerwear items are slightly oversized, and options include wrap-around cloaks, furs and double-breasted short coats.
Patterns, which of course are the house's speciality, are obviously not lacking. They are abstract and rich and filling, giving life and movement to the garments. The use of colour varies, such as black and white, pink and lilac, light blue and mauve, wistaria and red, cream and light dusty pink.
The long boots have a very slender heel, a highly delicate plateau and a slight point. They are made of brown, dark green or bright red suede. The footwear is matched by bucket bags to be worn on the shoulder, sometimes with fringes, at others decorated with appliqués.
A very feminine Collection which plays with different fabrics, even creating sensual transparencies: designed for the positive and carefree woman, who braves the winter with colour and determination.
Did you enjoy this Collection? Leave your comments below.
