Cue the delicious photos we all drool over on our Instagram feed. Local businesses and personal favorites, The Essential and Bandit Patisserie were recently featured in The Washington Post. Heres why they were given a shout out by a national publication.

You read that right. Thats the name of the article that Birmingham businesses, The Essential and Bandit Patisserie were featured in. The article takes a deep dive into the restaurant industry and how businesses around the US are continuing to handle changes brought on by the pandemic.

Around this time last year, the world had to put things on pause with thousands of restaurants closing their doors until new methods of dining were brainstormed.

For example, Bandit Patisserie pivoted to selling pre-ordered baked goods only from their location in Founders Station. Not only does it cut down on food waste, but it ensures they dont use more resources than necessary in a time thats already full of obstacles.

Gone are the days when I baked hundreds of pastries and hope people arrive. Now they pre-order.

As for The Essential, like many restaurants, theyve implemented socially-distant dining and upped their patio game. With heaters, wind-blocking curtains and some of the best brunch in town, theyve got things figured out.

The Essentials chef, Victor King, expressed how they had to blow up the menu during the great pause and pivot to comforting things that travel well.

For example, you wouldnt want to order a steak to-go just to open up a soggy box 45 minutes later to eat it. So, their menu adopted more takeout inspired dishes like fried rice, pastas and sandwiches.

The Washington Post gives shout out to Birmingham's The Essential + Bandit Patisserie - Bham Now

The end of Arctic air and warming temps this weekend will start a freeze-thaw cycle that could wreak havoc with your roof.

ST PAUL, Minn. The end of an extended Arctic blast featuring sub-zero temperatures for days on end should be something to celebrate, right?

Not if you're a roof in Minnesota.

A warming trend should push temps up above freezing this weekend during the daytime hours, while at night they drop back down into the single digits or teens. The ensuing freeze-thaw cycle is a classic recipe for ice dams, a winter phenomena that can cause significant damage to both the exterior and interior of your home.

The Minnesota Department of Commerce says contrary to the beliefs of some, ice dams are not caused by roofing, ventilation or gutter problems. The real culprit is inadequate air sealing inside the home - gaps around plumbing vents, electrical wires, chimneys, etc. - that allows warm, moist air to escape into the attic. Once there, it melts the underside of the snow layer on the roof, causing water to run down shingles until it reaches a cold spot, where it freezes.

Over time, that ice can build up into a dam that stops water from running down the roof slope, causing it to pool and eventually seep into the home. The resulting damage to insulation, ceiling drywall and other areas can cost thousands of dollars in repair.

Once an ice dam builds up to the point it is causing interior damage, the commerce department says the best option is to hire a professional company that will remove it using steam. Doing it yourself most often involves getting up on a slippery roof, unadvisable at best and downright dangerous at worst.

Because the primary cause of ice dams is warm air leaking from the attic, commerce department experts say the best way to prevent ice dams from forming is to seal leaks with caulking or expanding spray foam.

A home energy audit, especially one that uses an infrared camera, can locate where warm air is escaping into your attic. An audit can be performed by your local utility provider, a non-profit energy group or local heating and air company.

You can also add a layer attic insulation installed to a minimum of R-50.

For more on the cause of ice dams and potential solutions, check out a dedicated pageon the Minnesota Department of Commerce website.

Mason from Denver writes, What's driving you crazy? The intersection of Downing and Louisiana, at the corner of Wash Park. If traveling East on Louisiana and wanting to turn left heading north on Downing, you run into an issue with cars turning right in their own turn lane. However, westbound Louisiana has a separate turn lane for going North with a Yield sign. Is this sign to yield to people turning left on eastbound? Stuck in a turn lane.

That busy intersection on the southwest side of Washington Park is going through a transformation. It is part of Denvers goal to modify traffic flow and increase pedestrian/bicyclist safety as they access recreation activities in Washington Park.

Denvers Department of Transportation and Infrastructure installed new traffic signals that hang on new signal poles at this intersection. They also made major infrastructure and utility upgrades. That was one phase of the changes. The other change you will see is in those turns you mentioned. Once construction is complete this spring, the westbound right turn traffic will have a dedicated lane. The 60-foot-long turn lane is already carved out and paved, but new striping needs to be completed.

The yield sign located at that right turn lane is to make sure drivers yield to pedestrians who are crossing. Those right-turning drivers are also supposed to yield to the vehicles traveling northbound on Downing past Louisiana. DOTI tells me the drivers turning left from eastbound Louisiana to northbound Downing must yield to oncoming traffic, including the vehicles turning right. To help with that turn, the city added a northbound left turn green arrow.

There is still work left to do at that intersection. DOTI crews are still working to rebuild the curb and gutter around the signal. They also need to finish the improvements to the sidewalks that are much wider and easier to use. That work will be complete when the weather warms up this spring.

The improvements to this intersection are just one part of many improvements along the Downing Street corridor on the west side of Washington Park. You can read about them from Denvers Downing Pedestrian Crossings & Speed Study.

Denver7 traffic anchor Jayson Luber says he has been covering Denver-metro traffic since Ben-Hur was driving a chariot. (We believe the actual number is over 20 years.) He's obsessed with letting viewers know what's happening on their drive and the best way to avoid the problems that spring up.

When were in the midst of a February deep freeze, summer projects arent necessarily top of mind. But at the City were busy getting our 2021 construction season mapped out.

Just this week, the Commission got a look at the street paving and curb and gutter projects planned for this summer. Aside from rebuilding both Highland Avenue and Airport Road, well make improvements to more than 50 blocks of city street.

Those improvements will come in a variety of forms. Some will be completely rebuilt, some will be completely rebuilt and get new underground utilities, some will get a new surface, and others will get new curb and gutter.

The Commission receives more contacts about street conditions than any other issue in the community. We absolutely consider those citizen concerns when were making decisions. Thats why, this year we added an extra million dollars to the budget for street repairs. Were committed to infrastructure improvements.

Were also committed to making the construction piece of those improvements as painless as possible. Thats why we have been taking a different approach with our curb and gutter work. You see, curb and gutter work almost always accompanies street surface work. But coordinating schedules between contractors, weather, and the order in which all the improvements need to be made can be challenging and even lead to construction delays.

So, the team has worked extra hard for the last two years to get ahead in the curb and gutter work. Essentially, this year and last, the curb and gutter team does a year and half of work in one year. By the end of this construction season, our curb and gutter work should be a year ahead of our street work.

Heres why you care. It will make traffic disruptions shorter and streamline construction projects to the benefit of those living in the construction zone and those who travel through it. It may seem like a small operational change, but its one our team has invested a great deal of time and energy in to make work.

While our budget allowed us to invest more in streets improvements, we dont control what the contractor bids will look like or how the weather will look. If bids come in favorably and the weather is cooperative, we will enjoy lots of new street improvements in 2021.

You can find a map of all of our preliminary street improvement projects at cityofpierre.org on our streets page.

Brett Smiley

Smiley in October had promised the Rhode Island Ethics Commission that he would not solicit state employees or state contractors.

Smiley tells GoLocal he is returning donations to state workers and contractors.

In a statement in response to the announcement that the RI GOP filed an ethics complaint on Thursday, Smiley attacks the Republicans.

Smiley on Offensive

"I am not surprised that the same Republican Party that supports false claims of election fraud and embraces conspiracy theories is now launching baseless partisan attacks against me," he said.

I have established high fundraising standards which were approved by the Ethics Commission, have returned any contributions that did not meet those standards and have suspended fundraising to focus on a smooth transition out of state government. My focus will always be working to find solutions to the real challenges facing the people of Providence and I will not be distracted by gutter partisan politics, said Smiley.

Here's who Smiley is returning contributions to:

Elizabeth Roberts $500.00 -- Former RI Lt. Governor and state employee

Colin Kane $500.00 -- His firm has state contracts

Joseph Vinagro $1,000.00 -- His company has state contracts

CEO of Washington Trust Edward Handy $500.00 -- His company does state business

Anthony Rosciti Sr. $1,000.00 -- His firm has a state contract

Thomas Guerra $1,000.00 and Anthony Thomas $1,000.00 -- The state leases space from their company

Preston Halperin $1,000.00 and John Savage $1,000.00 -- Their law firm has state contracts

Ellis Waldman $250.00 -- His company does state business

John Galvin $1,000.00 -- His former business partner.

The total refunded is $8,750.00

The GOP Claim

"The Commission must launch a comprehensive investigation into all the donations Smiley received from individuals employed by state vendors to determine if he solicited donations from these individuals. The Ethics Commission has the power to compel production of documents and testimony from witnesses through the use of subpoena. The Ethics Commission should require all donors, who are associated with state vendors, to describe under oath any conversation they had with Smiley related to a campaign donation. Specifically, these donors should be asked under oath whether Smiley promised or threatened them in any way," said the GOP in their memoranda.

"A full investigation of Smileys fundraising activities with the employees of state vendors is justified. Smiley promised the Ethics Commission he would not solicit or accept campaign contributions from any state vendors," they added. "Smiley lied to the Ethics Commission. The Ethics Commission must conduct a sweeping investigation of Smileys fundraising practices and fine him."

Smiley Refunds Thousands and Attacks GOP Over Ethics Complaint - GoLocalProv

Sen. Chantal Petitclerc recounted her own experience with a disability as she sought Tuesday to counter criticism of a bill to expand access to medical assistance in dying.

Bill C-7 has been widely condemned by disability rights advocates who contend the legislation sends the message that life with a disability is a fate worse than death.

They also argue that persons with disabilities, particularly Black, Indigenous and racialized individuals, will be pressured, directly or indirectly, to end their lives prematurely due to societal attitudes, poverty and the lack of support services.

But Petitclerc, a former Paralympian who is sponsoring the bill in the Senate, used her own experience to argue that the bill strikes a balance between protecting the vulnerable and respecting the autonomy of individuals to seek medical help to end intolerable suffering.

She lost the use of her legs at the age of 13 when a barn door fell on her. At the time, she said her mother was recently divorced, working a low-wage job and caring for three young children. Her mother had to "carry me up and down to the second floor of our apartment building because we could not afford to move," Petitclerc, a member of the Independent Senators Group, said as she kicked off final debate on the bill.

"So, I may be privileged to be here in the Senate of Canada but I never forget where I come from and I know exactly what it is to be in a situation of extreme vulnerability."

At the same time, Petitclerc said the bill has evoked in her a strong memory of the excruciating pain she endured in the weeks following her accident as nurses regularly moved her from side to side in her hospital bed to prevent pressure sores.

If she was ever in a position where she was in "pain that unbearable but that would be irremediable, I too would fight for the right" to seek medical help to die, Petitclerc said.

Bill C-7 would expand access to assisted dying to intolerably suffering individuals who are not near the natural end of their lives, bringing the law into compliance with a 2019 Quebec Superior Court ruling.

Petitclerc said critics have "implied that access would be easy or unmonitored" and sought to dispel that notion.

"That simply is not the case," she said.

She pointed out that an individual must be a competent adult with a grievous and irremediable medical condition, in an advanced state of irreversible decline that causes intolerable, enduring suffering that can't be relieved by treatment acceptable to the patient.

For people who are not approaching the natural end of their lives, Petitclerc said the bill would impose additional safeguards.

Two medical practitioners would have to agree that the person meets the criteria for an assisted death and had not been pressured in any way.

The assessment period would have to last a minimum of 90 days, during which the patient would have to be informed of all alternative means of relieving their suffering, including counselling, community services and palliative care, and be offered consultations with professionals who provide those services.

"I believe it is important that we keep all of these steps in mind and that we acknowledge how thorough, strict and safe this process is," Petitclerc said.

However, Sen. Kim Pate, another member of the Independent Senators Group, said she can't ignore the reality of people who've experienced "ableist, racist, sexist" and other discriminatory treatment in the health care system or those who've been institutionalized and marginalized due to poverty and a lack of support services.

She suggested the bill respects the autonomy of "white, wealthy and non-disabled" people at the expense of the lives of more vulnerable people.

"Bill C-7 stands to expand rights for some at the expense of increasing inequality for others," Pate said, urging senators to question their "own ableist fears and biases."

Senators have already passed five amendments to the bill, two of which would expand access to assisted dying even more than the government proposed to do.

One amendment would impose an 18-month time limit on the legislation's proposed blanket ban on assisted dying for people suffering solely from mental illnesses. Another would allow people who fear being diagnosed with dementia or other competence-eroding conditions, to make advance requests for assisted dying.

Conservative Sen. Denise Batters was opposed to the original bill but she said the Senate's amendments "blow the bill wide open."

"I'm afraid you've put in motion a runaway train and the consequences will be dire," she said. Batters predicted the bill will be struck down for violating the rights of people with disabilities, whom she said are "screaming to be heard that they don't want this so-called benefit."

"What they want from government is not fast-track to death but rather the necessary financial and other supports that give them the option to live a dignified life."

By contrast, fellow Conservative Sen. Claude Carignan said the amendments are an improvement. But he still thinks the bill is unconstitutional since it sets up unequal access to assisted dying: a relaxed set of eligibility rules for people who are near death and a more stringent set of rules for those who are not.

One of the roles of the Senate is to ensure legislation is constitutional, Carignan argued, "so logically, if we are certain that a bill is unconstitutional we should either amend it or reject it. That is our duty."

Several senators urged the government to accept the Senate's amendments. They noted that the government did not listen to the upper house in 2016 when the Senate urged it to drop the eligibility requirement that a person's natural death must be reasonably foreseeable -- the provision that has since been struck down as unconstitutional.

Sen. Rosemary Moodie predicted that some of the Senate amendments are likely to be rejected by the government again this time.

Senators will then have to decide, she noted, whether to defer to the will of the elected House of Commons or dig in their heels.

Dry Ice Cleaning Service Market to Witness Robust Expansion Throughout the Forec - Fractovia News

Interior design is the art and sciences of improving the layout of a structure so that the people in the house can enjoy a cleaner and more stylistic atmosphere. An interior decorator is somebody who designs, explores, manages, and oversees individual ventures for change. Interior design is a diverse discipline that involves design creation, planning of spaces, site preparation, scheduling, analysis, coordination with project partners, product development, and design execution. The society of Japan is among the worlds most influential and fascinating cultures. Their practice has dramatically influenced the robust and reliable design and decor since the beginnings of their times. It created a unique, stylish style that inspired the entire world. Among the most significant parts of the house is a communal area of the Japanese household. That is where the family comes around, tells their experiences, and even eatsthe location where Ocha, the Japanese tea ceremony, is also located. For more than 1000 years, it has been in Japanese society. For the tea ceremony to be performed, plain and modest designs must be put in line with Japanese architecture standards.

First of all, the natural surroundings implementation into architectural configuration is characterized in a Japanese living area.

It utilizes organic elements such as twigs, timber, and stones, which have natural colors and textures. Ornamental nature components such as the renowned bonsai tree and bamboo are also added. If high ceilings or sliding doors are possible, which open to natural landscapes, the Japanese will undoubtedly use them, inviting nature into their homes. The color scheme is essential in every Japanese design, as it can make the room comfortable or not. Consequently, the most frequently used color palette is cheerful and relaxing. This color combination also included white, beige, brown, and some green tints to represent the vegetation. The principle of modernism has prevented the Japanese from using any color palette beyond the natural worlds fundamental shades.

An instantly recognizable Japanese screen is called Shoji and a significant design feature of Homes today.

Because of the rising mortgage costs, the Japanese residences tend to be small, and many citizens are renting houses, it is essential to keep every rectangular inch of space. Contrary to the doors, these Shoji move backward and forwards, improving safety for a swinging door. A genuine Japanese screen usually is a fine-textured sheet on the inside of a wooden board. However, current models of these screens are available on the internet and typically consist of a timber grid of window panes. Another essential feature of these screens is to prevent direct sunlight and outdoor environment, except doors. Trying to replace a big wall with a glass-paneled sliding door might be an excellent way to add this aesthetic to your whole residence. The living room design for a house in Japan is crucial. All furnishings must be well thought through. It needs to be as minimal as possible to the floor. After the idea of less is more, much room is unoccupied in the house. Only the light fills it, enhancing the feeling of spaces calmness.

In Japanese Traditional residences, sofas are not embraced even though theyre in more Japanese Culture residences.

The dining room would be made of clean-geometric timber, which remains in its natural shape or is painted colorfully. Either reduced seats or puff pillowcases will be around the table. Tatami, which is rice straws tapes, would be the carpet tile underneath the dining area. As we said, ornaments always are minimized inside the Japanese Style. Just hang scrolls with famous quotations or aphorisms, and candle holders with plain ceramic plates will often have been found on the wall. Parents photographs cant be found in Japanese Traditional residences; sofas are not embraced even though theyre in more Japanese Culture residences. The dining room would be made of clean-geometric timber, which remains in its basic shape or is painted colorfully. Either reduced seats or puff pillowcases will be around the table. Tatami, which is rice straws tapes, would be the wall paneling underneath the dining area. The entry is known as a genkan by the Japanese. This region welcomes guests and where sneakers are chosen to take off instantaneously and usually substituted by indoor flip flops. The entrance has shelves or an office called tobacco, which is used to store shoes. The door is simplistic with wooden elements and a lot of artificial sunlight, as you will notice. In these houses, especially the entrances, stone tile carpeting is also widely known.

As we said, ornaments always are minimized inside the Traditional Japanese home. Just hang scrolls with famous quotations or aphorisms, and candle holders with plain ceramic plates will often have been found on the wall. Japanese design is clean and stylish; you can already tell. In these residences, Mess is not included. As we mentioned above, in a real Japanese house, sometimes there are not even many furnishings. The point is to keep your design realistic and uncut. This Style is easy to recreate for most modern design lovers. Contemporary, spotless furnishings and wood laminate should be available. Early and modern lights should be. Or illumination could also imitate a true Japanese lantern style. Look at this sleek, minimalist Style in western life design elements overall!

Slowly, this idea was introduced into the living room to express the Zen-philosophical thoughts.

They are thinking about Scandinavian or Japanese interior design as of Zen or minimalist living. The Japanese society pays attention to old practices, instills modernism and Zen, and lives in harmony with nature. They sure should use trees and flowers in their fashion concepts as often as practicable. A lot of open fields and direct sunlight would still be available. Fine art also takes precedent from Japanese architecture and design. Their elegant arrangements of furniture are made of organic materials in a custom engraving workshop.

Style of architecture and interior decorating focuses primarily on the natural realm of possibilities. Organic fibers are used in living rooms: Tatami mat, walls, and floors in Shoji style, bamboo chambers, and bamboo blinds.

Real wood furnishings are well suited to both classic and contemporary decorations.

They make a room look more sleek and typical. You may use wooden armoires, cabinets, frames for kitchens, etc. The living room with timber works, including wall slopes and wood lamps, can also be occupied. To add a Japanese flair to your furniture decorating, you dont need a natural wooden bath. Classic Ofuro styles are also available using granite or ceramic materials. When the ancient Japanese rituals are introduced to the Western World by the home interior scheme, just put a big bathroom in the house. It replicates the theme of a spa where citizens can swim for an extended period. If your bathroom is tiny for a big bath, you can opt to make it a little bigger. Keep tidy and bare in the remainder of the area in the toilet.
