TAG Referral & Screening Process Information
The TAG Referral process begins on the first day of the school year and usually closes around the end of September. Official dates will be posted for the 2023-2024 school year once they have been approved.
The Talented and Gifted referral form is located in the Forms section of Power School. In addition to the TAG referral form, a permission to test form, and parent/family information form needs to be completed. Again, all of these forms are located in the Form section of Power School and will not be available until the first day of the school year. A TAG referral can be submitted in the areas of language arts, science, math, and social studies.
A TAG referral can be submitted by a student, parent, family member, or community member. If someone does not have access to Power School they can reach out to their school’s TAG Screening referral to receive a hard copy of the referral form. It is recommended and preferred that the forms be completed in Power School. Power School offers translation for multiple languages.
Once a TAG referral has been submitted and the referral window has closed the screening process will take place. During the screening process data is collected by the school’s TAG screening lead. At the middle school level data is collected in the areas of ability, achievement, grades, gifted rating scale, and work samples. Once all data is compiled a TAG screening committee compromised of a classroom teacher, teacher with a gifted endorsement, counselor, administrator, and facilitated by the TAG screening lead will review each student referral. The committee will evaluate the data and align it to the matrix to determine eligibility or if more data is needed.
Parent and student notification of the eligibility status is the next step in the process. If the student is found eligible, a parent permission to place form will need to be completed in order to start services. If the student is not found eligible, a parent will receive a letter and information regarding the appeals process will be included in the letter. Submitting an appeal is an option and not required.
If you have any questions please reach out to your school’s TAG Screening Lead.
TAG Screening Lead for George Washington Middle School is me, Stacy Palmer. Email is my preferred method of contact. My email is firstname.lastname@example.org I am a 10 month employee, therefore I do not work over the summer. Please feel free to email me over the summer but note that I am not required to respond until I return to work in August.

The Single Most Overpriced Item On Olive Garden's Menu
We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.
We all know Olive Garden has some really great deals on its menu, like the unlimited breadsticks promotion Thrillist claims they have been honoring since the restaurant's inception. However, if you look a little deeper at the ingredients list, some of the menu items are a much better value than others. We looked through the menu and compared it to the cost of ingredients to figure out which Olive Garden menu item is the most overpriced.
Zeppole are essentially Italy's version of beignets, which are similar to a doughnut or churro. Interestingly, Olive Garden spells the dish "Zeppoli" on their menu. Based on photographs from the Olive Garden take out menu, Yelp reviews and a Serious Eats article ranking all of the Olive Garden's desserts, it appears that one order of Zeppoli from the Olive Garden contains eight doughnuts. According to a recipe on Bon Appétit, zeppole are made by deep frying a basic dough, rolling it in powdered sugar, and serving alongside a chocolate sauce made primarily from melted chocolate and cream.
We scaled down this recipe from 50 zeppole to eight to figure out how much it would cost to make an order of Zeppoli at home.
How much it would cost to make eight zeppole at home?
Going ingredient by ingredient and using sources like the United States Department of Agriculture, Walmart, Amazon, Statista, and Bee Culture Magazine, we found the cost for you to purchase all of the ingredients to make an order of eight zeppole at home would come to $1.29.
That's a stark difference from Olive Garden's prices — according to Fast Food Menu Prices, Olive Garden charges $6.49 per order of Zeppoli, which is a whopping $5.20 more than the average cost of ingredients. In fact, the total cost of ingredients to make the full fifty doughnuts the recipe we based our calculations on only comes to $8.08. For an extra $1.59 you could make 42 more doughnuts.
While we recognize that waiting for the dough to rise and deep frying can be time consuming and messy, zeppole are a pretty basic Italian dessert that don't really require any special equipment to make other than a deep fry thermometer.

Come, let us adore the Lamb of God: Saint John went before him in his passion.
Year: C(I). Psalm week: 1. Liturgical Colour: Red.
St John the Baptist
Saint John the Baptist has two feasts to himself. One, in August, celebrates his death, and one, in June, celebrates his birth. And this is as it should be, for as Christ himself said, John was the greatest of the sons of men.
The greatest, but also the most tragic. A prophet from before his birth, leaping in the womb to announce the coming of the incarnate God, his task was to proclaim the fulfilment of all prophecies – and thus his own obsolescence. And he did it: with unequalled courage he spread the news that he, the greatest of all men, was the least in the kingdom of heaven. His disciples, and the devil, would have preferred him to fight, to build his sect, to defeat this upstart whom he himself had baptized, to seize his place in history. But he did not – and so, rightly, he has his place, and he has glory in heaven.
We envy the great and the talented, and sometimes we think that they themselves are beyond envy. But when they come across someone with greater gifts, as one day most of them will, they will see for the first time what it means to feel like us. Let us pray that they, like John the Baptist, may pass that test.
About the author of the Second Reading in today's Office of Readings:
Second Reading: St Bede the Venerable (673 - 735)
Bede was born in the north of England, near the monastery of Wearmouth. He joined that monastery, and spent all his life there or at Jarrow, teaching and writing. He was the outstanding ecclesiastical author of his time. He wrote commentaries on Scripture; an ecclesiastical history of the English people, which is a unique and irreplaceable resource for much of early English history; and the first martyrology (collection of saints’ lives) to be compiled on historical principles. He was also the first known writer of English prose, though this has not survived. He died at Jarrow on 25 May 735, teaching and working until the last moments of his life. He is venerated as the “light of the Church” in the Dark Ages, and as a forerunner of the 8th and 9th century renaissance of the Western Church.
Liturgical colour: red
Red is the colour of fire and of blood. Liturgically, it is used to celebrate the fire of the Holy Spirit (for instance, at Pentecost) and the blood of the martyrs.

Registry Keys Used by the Device Manager
The Device Manager uses registry keys stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\b0 key. The following are the major subkeys of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\b0 key:
The Active\b0 key contains subkeys that track currently active drivers loaded by the Device Manager. Device driver setup routines should not modify the Active\b0 keyÂ’s contents, nor should they rely on the presence of any specific values within the Active\b0 key.
When a device driver is loaded, the Device Manager passes it the path to its Active key as the dwContext parameter in the device driverÂ’s XXX_Init function. The device driver can rely on the presence of the following values:
Device handle from the RegisterDevice function
Device file name
Registry path within HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to the device driver key
The Active\b0 key for PC Card device drivers has the following additional values:
Plug and Play identifier string
Current socket and function pair of the PC Card
Once a device driver is loaded, it can add values to its Active\b0 key. However, the Device Manager deletes the device driver Active\b0 key and any values in it when the device driver is unloaded.
The Builtin\b0 key contains subkeys that govern stream interface driver DLLs provided by the manufacturer of a Windows CEÂ–based platform. As stated, OEMs can implement drivers for certain types of built-in devices, using the stream interface driver model.
The PCMCIA\b0 key contains subkeys related to PC Cards and their stream interface drivers. The most important information in these subkeys is the Plug and Play identifier of the PC Card, which corresponds to a specified driver.
The Detect\b0 subkey contains numbered entries that list DLL names and detection functions. The functions identify a generic stream interface driver for PC Cards with no Plug and Play identifier or PC Cards with an unknown Plug and Play identifier.
subkeys, named after generic PC Card drivers, contain values used to load the drivers. The Device Manager creates individual Driver subkeys when a generic stream interface driver detection function indicates that it can drive a particular device. The existence of a Driver subkey indicates detection by a driver that has an entry within the PCMCIA\b0 key.
subkeys contain values used to load stream interface drivers for PC Cards. Typically, the setup routine for a PC Card driver creates these subkeys when the driver is installed on a platform.

title: Owen daniels out at least 8 weeks

text:
The Houston Texans will place tight end Owen Daniels on injured reserve with the designation to return, meaning he will miss at least the next eight weeks, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Owens suffered a non-displaced fibula fracture late in Sunday night’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. A source had said he was likely to be sidelined four to six weeks with the injury.
“I was hoping I was just being a wimp and it was a bad bruise,” Daniels said Wednesday. “… The best thing to do for myself and my team is bringing an extra body in and give me enough time to heal up and not rush anything.”
Daniels said when he suffered the injury he thought it was a severe leg cramp. Another player landed on his leg as he made his final catch of the game. Daniels ran off the field even after the break and didn’t think much of it.
“Where the injury location is it’s very risky to do surgery,” Daniels said. “Major nerves and a lot of stuff going on. If it’s not displaced they just let it heal up. No need for a cast; it’s not a weight-bearing bone. I’m not on crutches, I’m walking around. It’s a little bone, a non-weight-bearing one.”
Daniels is tied for the team lead in touchdowns with three. Garrett Graham, who also has three TD catches, will replace Daniels in the starting lineup.
The Texans lead the NFL in plays run using two tight ends, so Daniels’ departure could also lead to the emergence of rookie Ryan Griffin, a sixth-round pick.
Daniels, 30, has been one of the Texans’ most consistent offensive players the past two seasons, during which he’s missed only two games. He has 24 receptions for 252 yards this season. His last major injury was in 2009, when he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Week 9.
ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter and ESPN.com Texans reporter Tania Ganguli contributed to this report.

Understanding the Basics of SEO on a Budget
When it comes to understanding the basics of SEO on a budget, we need to focus on cost-effective strategies. For small businesses looking to improve their online presence, it is crucial to find affordable SEO tools and resources. These can help optimize your website and increase its visibility on search engine results pages (SERPs).
One of the most important SEO strategies for small businesses is keyword research. By identifying the keywords that your target audience is using to search for products or services like yours, you can create content that is more likely to rank higher on search engine results. There are many free and affordable keyword research tools available, such as Google Keyword Planner and Ubersuggest, that can assist you in this process.
Another cost-effective SEO strategy is optimizing your website’s on-page elements. This includes optimizing your meta tags, headings, and URLs with relevant keywords. By doing so, search engines can better understand what your website is about, improving its chances of ranking higher in search results. Tools like Yoast SEO, a popular WordPress plugin, can guide you through this optimization process.
Additionally, building high-quality backlinks is essential for improving your website’s authority and visibility. While there are paid tools available for analyzing backlinks, you can also use free options like Moz’s Link Explorer or Ahrefs’ backlink checker to identify potential link-building opportunities.
Keyword Research: Maximizing Results With Minimal Investment
Our approach to keyword research allows us to achieve maximum results with minimal investment. Improving website visibility and gaining a competitive edge are crucial for any successful SEO strategy. By conducting thorough keyword research, we can identify the most relevant and high-performing keywords for our website.
Competitive analysis plays a significant role in our keyword research process. We analyze our competitors’ websites to understand the keywords they are targeting and the strategies they are implementing. This helps us identify gaps and opportunities in the market, allowing us to optimize our website for better visibility and higher rankings.
To begin our keyword research, we utilize various tools and techniques. We start by brainstorming a list of potential keywords that are relevant to our business and target audience. Then, we use keyword research tools to analyze the search volume, competition, and potential ranking opportunities for each keyword.
Next, we narrow down our list by selecting keywords that have a good balance of high search volume and low competition. These are the keywords that have the potential to bring the most targeted traffic to our website, while also being achievable within our budget.
Optimizing On-Page Elements for Cost-Effective SEO
In order to maximize our SEO efforts without spending excessive amounts of money, we focus on optimizing the on-page elements of our website. By implementing cost-effective SEO techniques, such as optimizing our content and website structure, we can improve our search engine rankings and drive organic traffic to our site.
One key element in on-page optimization is creating high-quality, cost-effective content. This involves conducting thorough keyword research to identify relevant and low-competition keywords that will attract our target audience. By incorporating these keywords naturally into our content, we can increase our visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs) without having to invest in expensive advertising campaigns.
Additionally, we pay close attention to our website’s structure and design. This includes optimizing our meta tags, headers, and URLs to make them more search engine friendly. By organizing our content in a logical and user-friendly manner, we not only improve our chances of ranking higher in SERPs but also enhance the overall user experience.
To provide a clear overview of the on-page elements we focus on, here is a table outlining the key components and their importance in cost-effective SEO:
On-Page Element | Importance |
High-Quality Content | Essential |
Keyword Optimization | Crucial |
Meta Tags | Important |
Headers | Valuable |
URL Structure | Beneficial |
Building High-Quality Backlinks on a Shoestring Budget
Building high-quality backlinks on a limited budget can be challenging, but it is possible to achieve with strategic outreach and collaboration. When it comes to link building, it’s important to focus on low cost outreach strategies and affordable link building techniques. In this article, we will discuss some effective strategies that can help you build high-quality backlinks without breaking the bank.
One cost-effective strategy is to reach out to relevant websites and offer them valuable content in exchange for a backlink. This could involve guest posting on their site or providing them with a well-researched and informative article that they can publish. By offering something of value, you increase the chances of getting a backlink from a reputable website.
Another affordable link building technique is to participate in online communities and forums related to your industry. This allows you to engage with like-minded individuals and share your expertise. By providing helpful insights and answering questions, you establish yourself as an authority in your field, which can lead to backlinks from other members.
Collaborating with other businesses or influencers in your niche is another effective low-cost outreach strategy. By partnering with others, you can leverage their existing audience and reach, gaining exposure and potentially acquiring backlinks from their platforms.
Measuring Success: Tracking and Analyzing SEO Performance Without Breaking the Bank
When it comes to measuring success in our SEO performance, we need to find cost-effective ways to track and analyze our progress without overspending. One of the key metrics we need to focus on is tracking ROI (Return on Investment). We need to understand how our SEO efforts are contributing to our overall business goals and whether they are generating a positive return on our investment.
Luckily, there are several free SEO tools available that can help us track and analyze our SEO performance without breaking the bank. These tools provide valuable insights into our website’s performance, keyword rankings, backlink profile, and more.
One such tool is Google Analytics. It provides comprehensive data on website traffic, user behavior, and conversions. By setting up goals and tracking conversions, we can measure the impact of our SEO efforts on our business objectives. Google Search Console is another valuable tool that helps us monitor our website’s presence in search results and identify potential issues that may be affecting our rankings.
In addition to these, there are several other free SEO tools that can help us track and analyze our SEO performance. Moz’s Open Site Explorer allows us to analyze our website’s backlink profile, while Keyword Planner helps us identify relevant keywords to target in our SEO campaigns.

BILLBOARD CANADA FYI
The streaming giant’s annual Loud & Clear data finds French as one of the top-performing languages, with Quebec artists like Charlotte Cardin and Patrick Watson leading the charge.
Francophone music is thriving on Spotify — and Quebec is playing a key role.
Spotify has shared new data that highlights French-language music and content as one of the top-performing genres on the platform. 100 million global users are listening to French content, according to the report, while French music streams are up 192% since 2019.
The data follows the release of Spotify's Loud & Clear Canadian streaming report earlier this month. While Francophone music's reach is global — a staggering 100 million users reside outside of traditionally French-speaking countries, they report — Quebec is a major amplifier. Nearly half of Quebec Spotify users regularly listen to media content in French, Spotify says.
In May 2025 alone, Quebecers listened to nearly 10 million hours of Francophone music — and the number only continues to go up. The consumption of Francophone content on Spotify has grown almost 20% year over year among local users, boasting a 130% growth since 2019.
The province’s Francophone listeners are getting younger, too. Nearly 40% of Quebec-based Spotify users who engage with Francophone content are under the age of 29, which is seen as a powerful signal that the French language continues to resonate deeply with the next generation of music listeners.
That data is translating into dollars. According to Spotify, French music royalties generated globally are up 15% from 2023. This includes many Quebecois artists, whose musical richness appeals nationwide and internationally. Last year, indie artist Patrick Watson’s “Je te laisserai des mots” was the most popular Francophone track on Spotify — and the first French track to surpass a billion streams. The Montreal native's track was added to over 6.6 million playlists last year, showcasing its global appeal.
Last year, almost the entire top 10 list of the most popular Francophone songs among Quebec’s users on Spotify was performed by Franco-Quebecois acts. Beloved artists like rock band Les Cowboys Fringants, singer-songwriters Patrick Watson and Charlotte Cardin and rapper Enima are mainstays on the Spotify charts in their home province.
Yet, the streaming platform has been vocal about championing burgeoning talent.
One of Quebec’s breakthrough artists, rapper Fredz, has seen massive growth on Spotify. “I've seen my audience triple in Canada in one year,” the rapper shared, who had already developed a loyal following. From his recent album, Demain il fera beau, tracks like “Le stade” and “Rappeler son…” were added to editorial playlists.
“Streaming has been essential in my journey,” he said. “Thanks to platforms like Spotify, my music has been able to travel almost everywhere.”
Zooming out, Spotify says that nearly 15 million hours of Canadian music are streamed globally every day, and Canadian artists are featured on 2.4 billion user playlists worldwide. Check out the full Loud & Clear report here.

Appeals court to consider case of former Alabama man convicted in son’s hot-car death
Published 8:56 pm Monday, January 17, 2022
A man whose toddler son died after he left him in a hot car for hours is asking Georgia’s highest court to overturn his convictions for murder and child cruelty.
Justin Ross Harris, 41, was convicted in November 2016 on eight counts including malice murder in the death of his 22-month-old son, Cooper. A judge sentenced him to life without parole as well as 32 more years in prison for other crimes.
Harris has appealed his convictions for murder and first-degree child cruelty. The Georgia Supreme Court scheduled oral arguments for Tuesday.
Harris, who moved from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to the Atlanta area for work in 2012, told police he forgot to drop his son off at day care on the morning of June 18, 2014, driving straight to his job as a web developer for Home Depot without remembering that Cooper was still in his car seat.
Cooper died after sitting for about seven hours in the back seat of the vehicle outside his father’s office in suburban Atlanta, where temperatures that day reached at least into the high 80s.
Prosecutors argued at trial that Harris was unhappily married and killed his son on purpose to free himself. Defense attorneys described him as a doting father and said the boy’s death was a tragic accident.
Police officers who interacted with Harris after his son’s death didn’t think he acted the way a father should under the circumstances, and began investigating all aspects of his life, according to a defense brief filed with the high court.
Evidence showed he was a loving and attentive father, even if exchanging sexually explicit messages and graphic photos with women and teenage girls and meeting some of them for sex revealed that Harris was not a great husband, the defense brief says.
Investigators “cherry picked the mountain of electronic data to support the conclusion that (Harris) murdered his son, ignoring contrary evidence,” the brief says.
Harris’ lawyer, Mitch Durham, argues that the judge shouldn’t have admitted evidence of Harris’ extramarital communications and in-person trysts at trial because his sexual misconduct had nothing to do with the death of his child. Prosecutors argue that plenty of evidence was presented to allow jurors to infer that Harris “acted out of a desire to be free of his wife and son so that he could pursue his self-described sexual addiction.”
Durham argues that there was insufficient evidence to show that he intended to kill his son and that some of his internet searches, activity and messages were twisted to fit that narrative. He says the evidence of sexual misconduct served only to prejudice the jury against Harris.
The state, represented by the Cobb County district attorney’s office and the attorney general’s office, argues that the evidence of his sexual conduct outside his marriage is not irrelevant because it illustrates his motive for killing his son. To conclude that Harris did not act with malice or criminal negligence by leaving his son in a hot car, the high court “would have to ignore the evidence about Harris’ double life and its deep connection to his motive for killing Cooper.”
Durham also says the trial judge made mistakes in requiring the defense to disclose the notes of a defense expert, allowing the introduction of a 3D animated video and limiting the cross examination of certain witnesses. Each of those errors is enough to justify a new trial, but even if the high court finds each of them alone to be relatively harmless, their collective prejudicial effect is sufficient to authorize a new trial, Durham argues.
Prosecutors, on the other hand, say the trial judge correctly decided these issues and Harris’ convictions and sentence should be upheld.
“Cooper Harris did not get a second chance on June 18, 2014, and his father has fallen short of demonstrating that he is entitled to a second chance in this appeal,” the district attorney’s brief says.


title: Nasas parker solar probe successfully passed through a gigantic solar eruption and recorded it on camera

text:
The Parker Solar Probe from NASA ventured through a substantial solar eruption and captured the entire event on video. This marks the first time such close-up footage of a solar explosion has been recorded. The scientists at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory released the video, showcasing an exceptionally potent coronal mass ejection that occurred in the previous year.
CMEs, or coronal mass ejections, are massive bursts of extremely hot plasma originating from the Sun’s outer layer. Comprising charged particles, they have the potential to induce radio disruptions and other disturbances when they impact Earth.
NASA reported that the CME that encountered the Parker Solar Probe was among the most formidable coronal mass ejections ever documented. Fortunately for the researchers focused on the solar study, the Parker Solar Probe not only traversed the CME but also withstood it, all while recording this extraordinary event on camera.
As per information provided by Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, CMEs have the capacity to discharge magnetic fields, occasionally ejecting billions of tons of plasma at velocities ranging from 60 to 1,900 miles per second.
Regarding the CME incident that occurred last September, the Parker Solar Probe registered particles accelerating up to a remarkable speed of 840 miles per second, as reported by Johns Hopkins. This data has the potential to assist physicists in comprehending the forces responsible for propelling CMEs and propelling particles at such exceptionally high speeds.
The Parker Solar Probe’s ambitious mission to reach the Sun
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is purposefully built for missions to study the Sun. Notably, it holds the titles of the fastest spacecraft ever and the closest approach to the Sun, safely reaching within 4 million miles of its surface.
We knew from the beginning that Parker Solar Probe would fly through CMEs. So NASA designed the probe to withstand the scorching temperatures near the Sun.
Jim Kinnison, the Parker Solar mission systems engineer at APL via a Johns Hopkins statement
The Parker Solar Probe is equipped with a tailor-made heat shield and an autonomous system designed to shield it from the Sun’s intense radiation, as detailed by NASA. Initially positioned approximately 5.7 million miles from the Sun’s surface, Parker detected the CME.
Subsequently, the probe maneuvered into the path of the CME’s shockwave. Remarkably, the Parker probe devoted nearly two days to investigating this specific CME and emerged from the encounter unharmed, as reported by Johns Hopkins.
The impact of space dust on Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs)
In the same coronal mass ejection (CME) event, NASA scientists also investigated how the storm influenced interplanetary dust, which consists of particles dispersed in space. Their aim is to gain a deeper understanding of these interactions to enhance space weather forecasting capabilities in the future.
Does interplanetary dust affect the shape of a CME? Does it affect the speed of it? We’re just starting to understand that it does.
Russ Howard, a physicist at APL via a Johns Hopkins statement
The Parker Solar Probe has already provided researchers with insights into various solar phenomena, including a glimpse into the origin of “solar wind.”

Laser Tattoo Removal Before & After Pictures
Disclaimer: Results may vary patient to patient. There is no guarantee that any specific result can be achieved. Results may not be permanent.
Say Goodbye to Unwanted Tattoos
At SOMA Skin & Laser, we specialize in advanced laser tattoo removal using cutting-edge technology to safely and effectively erase unwanted tattoos. Whether you’re looking to completely remove a tattoo or simply lighten it for a cover-up, our expert dermatologists have the experience and tools to help you achieve your goal.
Many people regret their tattoos. Times change. People change. But a tattoo no longer has to be forever. State-of-the-art laser technology allows for tattoo removal of many tattoos. A tattoo can stand in the way of employment, a police or military career, or even a new relationship. SOMA Skin & Laser offers tattoo removal in New Jersey using q-switched laser technology. Depending on the size of the tattoo, laser tattoo removal can cost as little as $125 per session. In many cases, we also offer flat price, unlimited tattoo removal packages.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Laser tattoo removal works by targeting the ink particles in the skin with concentrated light energy. This breaks the ink into smaller fragments, which are then naturally cleared away by the body’s immune system. Different wavelengths of light are used to target specific colors in the tattoo, making the process highly customizable for each patient.
Our Advanced Technology
We use state-of-the-art laser systems that are designed for tattoo removal, including Q-switched Nd-YAG lasers and the DEKA CO2 laser. These devices allow for the treatment of a wide range of ink colors and tattoo sizes, ensuring optimal results with minimal risk of scarring.
What to Expect During Treatment
Consultation: Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation to assess your tattoo, skin type, and overall health. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Treatment: During the procedure, the laser will be passed over the tattoo, breaking up the ink. Sessions typically last 5 to 45 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo.
Multiple Sessions: Complete tattoo removal typically requires multiple sessions, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart, to give the body time to clear away the ink particles. The number of sessions depends on factors such as the age, location, depth, and color of the tattoo.
Why Choose SOMA Skin & Laser?
- Experienced Providers: Our board-certified dermatologists have extensive experience in laser treatments and understand the nuances of tattoo removal for various skin types.
- Comfort & Care: We prioritize patient comfort with advanced cooling systems and numbing options to minimize any discomfort during treatment.
- Customized Approach: Each tattoo is unique, and so is our approach. We tailor treatments to meet the specific needs of your skin and tattoo, ensuring the best possible outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Tattoo Removal
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. We offer various pain management options, including topical numbing creams and cool air devices, to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. For a small tattoo, injection with local numbing is also an option.
What are side effects and recovery after tattoo removal?
Mild redness, swelling, or scabbing may occur in the treated area following a session. These effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and prevent complications.
How do laser tattoo treatments remove tattoo ink?
The high energy of the q-switched laser beam shatters ink particles. Once the particles are broken up, the tattoo ink can be removed by the body’s immune system and cleared by the liver. Sometimes we also use a CO2 laser, such as the DEKA SmartXide, which vaporizes pigment and breaks up scarring.
How many laser tattoo removal treatments will I need?
Predicting the number of tattoo removal sessions required is not a perfect science. Most tattoos will take 8 to 15 treatments. Where the tattoo is located on the body, the color of the ink, the color of your skin, the presence of scarring, and the presence of layering all impact on how many tattoo removal sessions are required. Some tattoos may take longer, and not all tattoos can be fully removed.
How often can I get laser tattoo treatments?
Laser tattoo removal treatments are typically spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart.
How much does it cost to remove a a tattoo with laser?
The cost of removing a tattoo with laser depends on the size of the tattoo and the number of treatment sessions required. The smallest tattoos start at $125 per session. Large tattoos can be several hundred dollars per session. Flat rate pricing for unlimited tattoo removal is often available, depending on your tattoo type. During your consultation with a dermatologist, a price will be provided for your tattoo removal.
Are there package discounts for tattoo removal?
Flat rate unlimited treatment packages are often available. There is also a discount of 20% when you purchase a laser tattoo removal package for the recommended number of treatments.
Do I have to get a tattoo removal package, or can I pay as I go?
You do not need to purchase a tattoo removal package. You can purchase one treatment at a time.
Does the entire tattoo need to be removed?
You can remove just the parts of the tattoo that you want, such as part of a design or a name.
I just want to lighten my tattoo, is that possible?
It is possible to just lighten your tattoo. This requires fewer treatments than complete tattoo removal. This is usually done when you plan to do a cover up.
Can all tattoos be fully removed?
Not all tattoos can be fully removed. Certain colors and certain inks are resistant to laser.
Can I remove cosmetic tattoos, such as eyebrows?
You can remove cosmetic eyebrow tattoos with laser tattoo removal. However, certain cosmetic inks and certain white inks will darken when lasered. A test spot should be performed first.
I have scarring in my tattoo, can it still be removed?
It is more difficult to remove a tattoo with scarring around it. The scarring traps the ink. To treat a scarred tattoo more treatments are required, and typically we combine Revlite q-switched laser with DEKA Co2 laser.
Can I remove a tattoo on my inner lip?
Yes. We have successfully treated tattoos inside the mouth.
Will laser tattoo removal leave a mark or a scar?
Usually laser tattoo removal will not scar, but sometimes scarring can occur. Discoloration can also occur, especially in darker skin types. Dark discoloration can usually be treated with lightening creams, such as hydroquinone. Light discoloration can sometimes be treated with the Excimer laser. Following your wound care instructions and aftercare is important for optimal healing.
Do I need to do anything before my laser tattoo removal treatment?
Do not tan or get a lot of sun on your tattoo prior to treatment. If the tattoo is on an area with hair, shave the area a day or two before.
What do I do after the laser tattoo removal treatment?
After the treatment, we will apply ointment and a dressing. An ice pack can be applied to reduce swelling and discomfort. If you treated an arm or a leg, you can elevate it to reduce swelling. Do not get the area wet until it has healed. Do not swim in an ocean or pool, or use a sauna or steam room. Avoid sun exposure and do not tan. Apply ointment as directed. Do not pick at the area, or remove scabs. After 24 hours, you can resume your usual activities, except for swimming. For swimming, you must be fully healed.
Can I go to the beach or tan after laser tattoo removal treatment?
Do not get tan or a lot of sun exposure while having tattoo removal treatments. It can increase your risk of scarring or discoloration.
What is the R20 method of laser tattoo removal?
The R20 method is simply performing multiple treatments in one day, each treatment separated by 20 minutes. R20 simply stands for “repeat 20 minutes”. Some studies have shown this approach to clear tattoos more quickly. If we perform an R20 treatment for you, each “repeat” counts as a separate treatment session.

Guardian Angel Circle - Awareness and Prevention of Child Abuse
At MAP, we believe that safety doesn't happen by accident, and the safety of children in schools is of utmost importance. With the increasing number of cases of child sexual abuse in India, schools have a crucial responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of their students.
That's why we've developed the Guardian Angel Circle program to help schools create a safe and secure environment for their students.
Our program focuses on the prevention of child sexual abuse (CSA) by educating students, leaders, teachers, staff and parents. We aim to create an awareness to prevent abuse and provide comprehensive training to recognise signs of abuse and potential areas or situations in which students may be vulnerable.
Our unique approach uses a holistic 360° model that begins with the Self and ends with You, teaching both children and adults effective means for child safety.
The Guardian Angel Circle program is led by a team of facilitators who are trained and experienced counselors. They work with students, teachers, leaders, and parents in this regard.
The program is structured in a five-tier model, which includes:
Our program is designed to be customizable based on the specific needs of each school. Training sessions usually require a number of days, which will depend on the total number of students and adults that need to be trained. Details about how the sessions can be mapped according to dates, grades, strength, etc. shall be discussed and scheduled in advance.
We have successfully implemented standard operating procedures in organizations and communities where the onus has been placed on each adult to prevent CSA and to keep each child secure. The training is available in a package form, which includes training for all students, staff, and parents of your school.
We also recognise the need and practicality of training adults in schools and facilities that can keep the programme running continuously without needing us to engage year after year as students and staff rotate. In order to meet this requirement we also have training of trainers (TOT) programmes.
We understand that safeguarding children is a serious matter, and we are here to help schools take proactive steps and measures to prevent CSA. Contact us to learn more about the Guardian Angel Circle program and take the next step towards creating a safe and secure environment for your students.

Former president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom's appeal case at the Maldives appellate court on Thursday gets stalled over lack of necessary documents.
Gayoom's advocate Ibrahim Shameel was given the court floor to address the appeal provisions, however he stressed the detailed document citing Criminal Court's case decision was not completed and added requires additional time.
The Criminal Court' detailing on the case proceedings is necessary in order to deliberate on the appeal provisions, said Gayoom's advocate who requested to present fresh provisions once the document is completed.
The appeal case's preceding judge Ali Sameer had countered that several opportunities were given to the appellant to present the document to court; noting the appellate court had then clarified the details.
Sameer argued Criminal Court was unable to release the document due to absence of one of the defendant lawyer's signature.
However, Gayoom's other advocate Maumoon Hameed counter-argued claiming the new Criminal Procedure Act ensures that the lawyer signatures are not compulsory for the court to release the documents. Hameed also added the signatures mandatory on the document are the court staffs in-charge of typing the document.
Hameed also detailed that should the signature of the Criminal Court staff is missing, it should not be held against the appellant.
Judge Sameer had responded the necessary document will be available from Criminal Court, and to log complaint at the appellate court should Criminal Court decline to the appellant's requests.
Court had then concluded Thursday's hearing providing necessary time to research the Criminal Court document and present fresh provisions based on the appeal process.


title: Whats the purpose of a battery box

text:
The basic premise of a battery box is to provide protection of your battery from the elements, especially water, and to keep it secured during transport. Exposed batteries will quickly deteriorate when exposed to adverse weather conditions. Battery boxes extend the life of the battery and also protect your vehicle, equipment, and cargo from potential acid spills from your battery. Battery boxes also prevent electrical cell shortages and fires.
If you are looking to create a customized battery box, contact PFI for battery box fabrication to your specifications.
Are Battery Storage Boxes Required?
Battery storage boxes are deemed necessary in many industries and applications. For example, aerospace battery boxes are a necessity to protect power sources for certain types of motors. Similarly, a battery shield is an essential component in also securing and protecting aircraft power sources. PFI battery boxes will keep your battery safe from moisture and secure the battery connectors to reduce the potential of an electrical accident.
Battery boxes also provide protection from extremely cold weather. The battery case at very low temperatures can possibly become damaged and leak its chemical contents. The chemical solutions that are present inside the battery can be extremely harmful. Battery storage boxes can contain those materials protecting both people and the environment.
What Material Are Battery Boxes Made Of?
Battery boxes can be constructed from a variety of materials. The most common is polypropylene. Polypropylene is a plastic that offers many advantages and features, most importantly they are resistant to the chemical solutions in batteries and can withstand acidic spills. Plastic battery boxes have a high impact strength and offer greater protection. It also can be waterproofed and offers protection against cell shortages. Plastic is also lightweight and economical.
At PFI we use only the highest quality materials to fabricate your customized battery packs. Contact us to discuss your advanced equipment needs.
What Types of Batteries Need Battery Boxes?
Medical device batteries, among other industries that require sensitive and sterile environments, require a battery shield. Deep cycle batteries that are common in most applications normally have exposed connectors that pose safety concerns while in use or in transport. The caustic nature of batteries and their primary use being exposed to the elements necessitate protection that a battery box can provide.
How Do You Waterproof a Battery Box?
Battery boxes are often referred to as water-resistant or waterproof. A key difference between the two is the material from which the box is fabricated. Plastic’s advantage is that it can offer waterproof protection. Other materials would require additional coatings to become waterproof.
Battery protector construction must also be taken into consideration as many battery box designs include ventilation holes and spaces for wire connections. These features are important considerations when selecting a battery box that is water-resistant versus waterproof.
Why Choose PFI as Your Battery Box Manufacturer?
At PFI, we pride ourselves on over 40 years of custom plastic fabrication for our customers. Our reliable team is committed to putting high-quality products in your hands as quickly as possible and prides themselves on their vast experience and flexibility in custom projects.
The experts at PFI are able to fabricate battery boxes to suit your needs. Protect your investment, batteries, and customers from the hazards of a damaged battery. Contact us today to discuss your custom battery protector.

The Rural Alliance PCN was established in 2019. Its members include the 6 GP Practices within rural Cheshire West who are working together to create a better future for their patient population:
The Rural Alliance Primary Care Network is one of nine PCNs within the Cheshire West & Chester Borough and its team members include:
Since the NHS was created in 1948, the population has grown and people are living longer. Many people are living with long term conditions such as diabetes and heart disease or suffer from mental health issues and may need to access their local health services more often.
To meet these needs, GP practices are working together with the other GP Practices in their surrounding area to build on existing primary care services and enable a greater provision of proactive, personalised, coordinated and more integrated health and social care for people close to home.
There are 1,250 PCNs across England, typically serving natural communities of between 30,000 to 50,000 people (with some flexibility). They are small enough to provide the personal care valued by both people and GPs, but large enough to have impact and economies of scale through better collaboration between GP practices and others in the local health and social care system.


title: Linear finance announces shutdown lina token plummets

text:
On March 27, 2025, Linear Finance, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol launched in 2020, announced its permanent closure after nearly five years of operation, sending shockwaves through the crypto community. The project, once heralded for its cross-chain synthetic asset platform, cited prolonged financial difficulties and a recent delisting by Binance as key reasons for its demise. Consequently, the native token, LINA, has plummeted, losing nearly 70% of its value in the past week, marking a dramatic end to a project that struggled to find its footing in the competitive DeFi landscape. This Linear Finance shutdown underscores the challenges facing smaller DeFi protocols in 2025.
The Rise and Fall of Linear Finance
Linear Finance aimed to revolutionize DeFi by enabling users to create, trade, and manage synthetic assets across multiple blockchains, such as Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain. At its peak in 2021, the protocol gained traction with its stablecoin, ℓUSD, and promised low-cost, non-custodial asset management. However, the project faced significant hurdles over the years. A 2023 exploit drained liquidity from ℓUSD, eroding user trust, and despite efforts to innovate, Linear Finance could not achieve sustainable profitability. By March 2025, the protocol’s financial struggles became insurmountable, leading to the decision to cease operations.
The announcement, made earlier today at 7:56 AM PDT, highlighted the team’s inability to secure sufficient funding to continue. Posts on X convey a somber mood. Users lament the project’s end but recognize the broader struggles in DeFi. Linear Finance’s closure adds to the growing list of DeFi projects shutting down in 2025. Market dynamics now favor established players over smaller, underfunded protocols.
Binance Delisting: The Final Blow
A critical factor in Linear Finance’s downfall was Binance’s decision to delist LINA, announced earlier this month. Binance, one of the largest crypto exchanges, cited low trading volume and liquidity as reasons for the delisting, a move that severely impacted LINA’s market presence. The Binance delisting impact was immediate—LINA’s market cap, already dwindling, dropped 65% following the news, as reported by CoinMarketCap. By March 27, the token’s price had crashed to $0.0003575, with a 24-hour trading volume of $49.7 million, reflecting panic selling and diminished investor confidence.
The delisting exacerbated Linear Finance’s financial woes. Without access to Binance’s vast user base, the protocol struggled to attract new liquidity, a lifeline it desperately needed. This event mirrors a broader trend in 2025, where exchanges are increasingly pruning underperforming tokens to streamline their offerings, often leaving smaller projects like Linear Finance vulnerable.
Market Reaction and Implications
The LINA token crash has been stark. LINA once traded above $0.001 in early 2025. Now, its value has collapsed to near zero, with a 70% weekly decline on platforms like CoinGecko. The token’s market cap, which peaked at over $100 million in 2021, has fallen below $2 million. This sharp drop highlights the volatility and risk of DeFi investments. Investors who held LINA through its decline now face major losses. Some have taken to X, frustrated by the lack of warning from the Linear Finance team.
This DeFi project closure highlights the precarious nature of the sector. DeFi’s total value locked (TVL) has surged to $300 billion in 2025. However, most of this growth is concentrated in top-tier protocols like Aave and Uniswap. Smaller projects struggle to compete or innovate quickly enough. They face existential threats, especially as investors favor memecoins and established tech over experimental DeFi solutions.
What’s Next for DeFi?
Linear Finance’s shutdown serves as a cautionary tale for the DeFi industry. As the sector matures, sustainability and robust financial models are becoming non-negotiable. Projects must prioritize transparency, security, and user retention to survive. For investors, the Linear Finance shutdown underscores the importance of due diligence—high returns in DeFi often come with high risks, and not every protocol can weather the storm.
The Linear Finance shutdown and the subsequent LINA token crash mark the end of a once-promising DeFi venture. Triggered by financial struggles and amplified by the Binance delisting impact, this DeFi project closure reflects the harsh realities of a competitive market. As 2025 progresses, the DeFi space may see more casualties, but these failures could pave the way for stronger, more resilient protocols to lead the future of decentralized finance.

Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey gives a new meaning to “hands-on curriculum.”
A fall 2011 class at Rowan involves 10 students, one professor, and a real-life murder investigation. The investigative journalism class plans to discuss and write stories about a student who was murdered almost four years ago.
Donnie Farrell, a 19-year-old sophomore at Rowan, was murdered by a group on a rainy Homecoming night in October 2007. The details about the murderers and motives were left unanswered and the students of the class are eager to put their “Law and Order” skills to use.
According to the professor, Amy Quinn, the class will have more of a storytelling focus rather than mystery solving. The class will ultimately give students the experience of a real journalist seeking information and trying to tell a full and accurate story. However, is the class pushing boundaries and tolerance of the campus community? The professor doesn’t seem to think so.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Rowan administrators were wary of the class because it is a campus tragedy. The crime scene, a convenience store where Farrell was robbed and attacked, is in mere walking distance from the journalism classroom.
If any of the 10 inquisitive students of the class personally knew Farrell, the semester will be both overwhelming and emotional. Reporting about public crime becomes an entirely different game when the victim is a friend or even a familiar campus face.
University of Arizona students experienced a similar campus tragedy with the death of Wilson Forrester in early April 2011. At 19, Forrester died from an accidental overdose of alcohol, painkillers and Xanax, according to the autopsy results. When he passed, the UA community was left with a deep wound. The morning after his death, more than 300 students attended the memorial at Forrester’s fraternity.
The deaths of Farrell and Forrester were truly tragic events that should be remembered with the utmost respect. While Farrell’s death differes — it was a murder and more time has passed — it will always be too soon to become an academic assignment.
The idea of this investigative journalism class is incredible for gaining experience in the field. However, student deaths are much too grave of an issue to be studied for classroom purposes. If the UA allowed toxicology or pathology students to investigate Forrester’s death, our community would be outraged. Whether four years or four months after a student’s death, the idea of involving students in a campus tragedy is insensitive and unethical.
The cause of Forrester’s death was not determined by the Pima County Medical Examiner until the end of May 2011. UA students could have received the best hands-on experience possible for careers in toxicology or pathology by helping the medical examiner with the autopsy and lab results, but they didn’t. Perhaps Rowan University is proud of the investigative journalism students for being so proactive in their curriculum but not even that makes it acceptable to investigate that campus tragedy. It is commendable that the department is serious about training real and dedicated journalists, but it is risking bringing back painful memories to the Rowan campus.
The deaths of Donnie Farrell and Wilson Forrester were devastating losses to both campuses. Their deaths should be considered traumatic events and respected, not sensationalized as classroom projects. There is no defiend time for how long a community needs to heal and gaining hands-on experience does not justify desensitizing a campus loss.
