David Crosby Was Prepping Tour Return: ‘He Hadn’t Lost His Fire’ – Ultimate Classic Rock

David Crosby had been preparing to return to touring prior to his death.

According to friends and collaborators, the rocker had been rehearsing with an eye towards hitting the road this summer.

“David didn’t think he was gonna last for years, which he joked about all the time. But there was no sense that we weren’t gonna be able to do this show and these tours,” guitarist Steve Postell, who was poised to be part of the trek, revealed to Variety.

“We were talking tour buses, and what kind of venues, and the whole team was all back together again — the road manager and tour manager and sound guys — on top of this band we’d put together,” Postell continued. “There was not even a remote sense that we weren’t about ready to hit the world. And it’s a shame people didn’t get to hear it.”

The fact that Crosby was prepping to hit the road is notable, considering the rocker had previously insisted his touring days were over. “I’m too old to do it anymore,” the folk singer declared during a 2022 interview. “I’m too old to do it anymore. I don’t have the stamina. I don’t have the strength.”

Conversely, Postell insisted Crosby was “practically giddy” to return to the stage. “He was showing us new songs, like, ‘What do you think of these lyrics?’ He hadn’t lost the fire. I’d like people to know that he was on it. He was writing, playing, singing his ass off and preparing a fantastic show. That’s what he was doing. He was not lying in a bed for two years, out of it. That’s not what happened at all.”

Prepping your home and car for freezing temps – FOX 5 Atlanta

The freezing weather is on its way to Georgia. While many people are looking to protect people, pets and plants, there are also things that should be done to protect homes and cars.

Before hitting the road, drivers should take a look at the car, starting with the battery.

“Every time we have a temperature spike, anytime up or down, we always have a lot of people coming in with dead batteries, just because those fluctuations in temperature, that are extreme, will kill batteries,” said Cameron McKenzie with Revolution Auto.

McKenzie says also take a look at the tires, they lose pressure when the temperature drops. 

He says also ensure the car is not low on coolant.

“It can cause the heat not to work properly and not a good time of year for your heat not to work,” said McKenzie.

Cunningham says for outside spickets, turn off the valve in the house, then go outside, disconnect the hose and open the spicket to let any water drain out.

“If there’s water still left in there it can still freeze,” said Cunningham. 

Keep those faucets dripping, both hot and cold water.

“At my house the kitchen sink is on an exterior wall so that night I’ll leave my faucet dripping and open the exterior cabinets to let the warm air get inside,” said Cunningham.

Superior Plumbing, on their website, has an entire list of things homeowners can do to prevent frozen pipes and what to do when a pipe is frozen.

Tips for prepping your home for bitter temperatures – KTTC

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – Frigid temperatures are headed for Southeast Minnesota and Northeast Iowa, so it’s time to ensure your home is prepped for some bitterly cold nights.

Of course, this weather isn’t new for the Midwest, but some HVAC and plumbing experts are giving some reminders. One of the most important things to remember is preventative maintenance is key when prepping your home.

This means keeping your water moving to avoid frozen pipes and checking if your furnace filter has been changed in the last three months in order to avoid a plugged furnace. This will keep your home air quality high and your energy bills low.

“That’s really going to help with everything in the house and again back to indoor air quality, the health of the house and also yourself. If it gets to dry it can cause some issues for your house and your own health as well,” Haley’s Comfort project manager Bob Speedling said.

Experts compare changing your furnace’s filter to changing the oil in your car. If you don’t it will lead to serious problems down the road, like a plugged filter.

Another concern of freezing temperatures is the air quality inside your home, one option for maintaining good air quality is buying a humidifier. they say the humidity levels in your home should be between 30-35%.

“That’s really going to help with everything in the house and again back to indoor air quality, the health of the house and also yourself. If it gets to dry it can cause some issues for your house and your own health as well,” Speedling said.

Making sure your furnace is working properly is just one part of prepping your home for bitter temperatures, you should also take preventative measures for the pipes in your home.

“Kitchen sink lines and even the water supply lines will freeze up on cold nights. We encourage everyone to keep the cabinet doors open down below so the warm air can travel up through the cabinet area and you’re not trapping a bunch of cold air into that,” Jetter Clean owner Lee Cummings said.

Many people believe letting your faucet drip is a great way to prevent your pips from freezing, but these experts say in the longer stretches of freezing temps, a great tactic is to run a garden hose away from your house to keep the water moving.

“You are better off running a garden hose because if you go to work, you could come home to a heck of a mess because your pipes have frozen and you’ve been gone all day, you’ll flood your home,” Cummings said.

If the freezing temps get the best of your home some safety reminders are to never use a stove top or oven to heat your home and let the sun in by opening curtains or blinds when the sun is out to warm your home.

Making math fun by prepping for friendly competition – MIT News

Mark Saengrungkongka, a first-year MIT undergraduate student, stood at the blackboard and explained his solution to a math problem similar to the ones that might appear on the William Lowell Putnam Mathematics Competition, a prestigious annual math competition for college students in the United States and Canada administered by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). After he finished presenting his proof, the class gave a round of applause. “That was a very nice solution,” math professor Yufei Zhao told the class.

It was a few weeks into the semester, and while there were a few latecomers, students in Class 18.A34 (Mathematical Problem Solving) paid close attention to the intricate proofs presented by their fellow students on the blackboard. The audience asked probing questions and pointed out gaps in the arguments.

This undergraduate seminar, better known as the Putnam Seminar, brings together first-year students who are interested in the annual competition. In recent years, MIT has finished first in the December exam, and all five top-scoring students, known as Putnam Fellows, were from MIT the past two years.

But the Putnam exam is also designed to just instill a love of math to all who attempt the insanely hard problem sets. One of the goals of Zhao’s class is to make solving these problems more like participating in a fun group puzzle rather than a stressful competition. For many first-year students, it’s also a nice way to ease into MIT life.

“The students in the seminar usually come in with a strong preparation from math competitions,” says Zhao. “But college is rather different from high school math Olympiads. A goal of the seminar is to help them transition from a high school math Olympian to a successful college student and beyond.”

Each week, Zhao starts his seminar gently, with a casual discussion. He asks the classes how they are feeling about the semester and talks about life as a college math student. Discussions include class selections, dealing with setbacks, and career paths. One student asks about how to find research opportunities; another student asks about recommendation letters.

Zhao knows that his students are already thinking ahead about upper-level math classes, but he hopes to slow them down a little so that they can take their time to really understand and appreciate what they are learning. “There’s a tendency for these students to do too much,” he says.

About 10 minutes after the start of the class, Zhao wraps up the discussion and starts the student presentations.

Mohit Hulse presented a solution to a combinatorics problem from the 2018 Putnam Competition. When he realized that he made a small mistake in the middle of his presentation, there was some supportive laughter, and he confidently continued on. The audience was respectful, and his classmates often helped with an idea.   

When he was finished, Zhao added compliments and tips. “I suggest looking up the proof of the Chernoff bound, which is quite similar,” he says. “That was a nice solution.” He then pointed to the board and gave some suggestions. “I thought this step could be omitted.”

In addition to discussions and student presentations, the seminar also features weekly lectures by upper-year students, including veterans of the Putnam Seminar. The lectures highlight math problem-solving techniques useful for the Putnam Competition as well as provide a lens into advanced mathematics. 

This year, roughly 60 incoming first-year students applied to the Putnam Seminar, among which 21 were selected. The seminar is internationally diverse, with students from 10 countries outside the United States: Australia, Armenia, Canada, China, Georgia, India, Korea, Portugal, Singapore, and Thailand.

“This class builds connections,” says Zhao. “All of them are new to MIT, and many are arriving in the U.S. for their first time. They are all interested in mathematics. I hope that the seminar will help them meet other students and form a supportive community.”

Any MIT student is welcome to attend the lectures, although the presentation sessions are restricted to the seminar students. These problem sets are also made available through MIT OpenCourseWare for other interested students and teachers.

Practicing presentations

The seminar is designed to provide a rare chance for first-years to develop their mathematical communication skills, including blackboard presentation and proof writing. Zhao says he has been innovating on the format of the seminar in recent years, with ever-increasing emphasis on oral presentation practice and feedback. 

“Undergraduates don’t get a lot of presentation opportunities, especially blackboard presentations,” says Zhao. “We hear a lot from MIT alumni that they wish they had received more training in communication skills at MIT.”

Two previous seminar students, senior Dain Kim and sophomore Tomasz Ślusarczyk, help the class as undergraduate assistants. Last year, Kim ranked sixth place in the competition, and was awarded the Elizabeth Lowell Putnam Prize for being the top female scorer, and Ślusarczyk earned an honorable mention. As undergraduate assistants, Kim and Ślusarczyk hold regular office hours where students come to practice presentations to a small audience of a few other students, without the professor present. These office hours started last year in response to students seeking more presentation opportunities outside classroom hours.

Kim says that she benefited a lot from taking the seminar as a first-year student. 

“Especially in math classes at MIT, it is hard to get a chance of giving a presentation to other students, unless it is a CI-M [Communication Intensive in the Major] class, because most classes are lecture-based,” Kim says. “I could hear from other students how they approached the problems that I could not solve, and I could also practice math presentations.” 

Ślusarczyk, who took the seminar last year, credited the class with transitioning some of his math contest approaches and mindset to research-oriented mathematics. “Combining the problem-solving focus with a higher level of mathematical maturity was definitely a great educational experience and improved my Putnam skills a lot,” he says. “The skills developed in the seminar were invaluable during problem-set sessions, office hours, or research meetings. The class definitely helped me a lot with my career plans — I learned a lot about research-oriented math and decided that I want to pursue research in a math PhD program after graduation.”

The competition

The Putnam exam was founded in 1927 by Elizabeth Lowell Putnam in memory of her husband William Lowell Putnam, and has been offered annually since 1938, administered by the Mathematical Association of America.

Last year’s grueling six-hour exam featured 12 proof-based math problems, each worth 10 points, drawn from calculus, algebra, geometry, combinatorics, number theory, and more. The 2021 exam was taken by 2,975 undergraduates from 427 institutions, 150 of them from MIT.  

The top score was 119 out of 120 points, with the median score a mere four — which meant that most students did not fully solve a single problem. But of the top 105 scorers who finished with honorable mention rankings or higher, 63 were MIT students. 

The top five scorers receive the prestigious title of Putnam Fellow. For the second time in the competition’s history, all five Putnam Fellows came from MIT, and they were all Putnam Seminar alumni. In the more than 80 years of the Putnam Competition, only eight competitors achieved the rarified four-time Putnam Fellow status, including three from MIT. MIT math professor (and former MIT Putnam coach) Bjorn Poonen was one such four-time Putnam Fellow when he was an undergraduate at Harvard University.  

Back in 1973, when MIT math professor Richard Stanley started teaching at MIT, he noticed that MIT had a large number of students taking the Putnam. He had taken the exam three times during his Caltech years. 

“My best result was ninth overall,” he recalls. “At that time, Caltech was the dominant Putnam school. I can remember my freshman year one of the persons in my student house complaining that although he was seventh in the country, he was only fourth at Caltech and second in his hallway!” 

When he looked at how MIT students fared on the exam, he thought that there was room for improvement. 

“I thought that a seminar on problem-solving might stir up some interest and benefit the students,” he recalls.

Stanley’s undergraduate seminar on mathematical problem-solving featured his weekly lecture devoted to a Putnam-related topic such as number theory, linear algebra, generating functions, or inequalities. “These are huge subjects, but the lectures were very narrowly focused on providing background and examples for doing well on the Putnam,” says Stanley. 

He would then assign two problem sets each week, one based on the lecture, and another dedicated to “fun” problems. The second class that week had students discuss their solutions.  

“The class’s second focus was just the enjoyment of problems,” he says. “Many math students enjoy problem-solving and the opportunity to learn interesting tidbits from all areas of math that are not likely to be found in standard classes. They also like the camaraderie of friendly competition.”

Stanley was also the Putnam coach for about 35 years, later joined by Professor Hartley Rogers. The Putnam class seemed to pull MIT students into many first-place team victories. Eight alumni from that seminar eventually became Stanley’s PhD students, and he wrote a book, “Conversational Problem Solving,” based on his seminar.

Above all, Stanley emphasizes putting the fun in Putnam. Besides, he says, there’s a downside to all the winning.

“It is as if the Red Sox dominated all other teams every year and won every World Series in four games,” says Stanley. “Great for Boston fans, but not for baseball in general.”

As a first-year student in 2006, Zhao attended the Putnam seminar taught by Stanley and Rogers and went on to earn three Putnam Fellow spots; he missed the fourth by a single point. When he returned to MIT in 2017 to join the faculty, he began teaching the Putnam Seminar. 

Zhao credits Stanley for creating high-quality problem sets, which are still being used in the seminar. And Zhao is also continuing Stanley’s goal to steer students away from seeing the seminar as simply training for Putnam.  

“The class helped me to take the Putnam exam as a by-product,” says Kim. “Every week I solved a problem set, and I enjoyed trying some hard problems. It helped me to get used to Putnam-type problems. But this is not just a ‘Putnam preparation class.’ Although we are talking about Putnam problems and some concepts appear there, the goal of the class is not ‘raising the scores of participants.’” 

At the beginning of a late-November seminar, Zhao asked his students how they felt about the upcoming exam in less than two weeks, and a few mentioned the word “stressed.” But others said how much they just enjoyed working on the problems. “I want to take it without much pressure,” said one student. Added another, “What works for me is that I’m competing with myself, and not others.” 

Zhao then gave the class his most valuable advice: “Make sure you get lots of sleep the days leading up to the exam.”

Twitter Isn’t Paying Its Landlords Or Vendors, Prepping For Legal Battle – Bisnow

Placeholder

Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco

Social media platform Twitter has reportedly quit paying rent on its headquarters building in San Francisco and an unspecified number of other leases.

The nonpayment is part of a wider move by Twitter, which was acquired by Elon Musk in October for $44B, to withhold pay from vendors in anticipation of potential litigation, The New York Times reports, citing anonymous sources.

Representatives of Twitter landlords, including Shorenstein in San Francisco, Jamestown in Atlanta and Columbia Property Trust in New York, have not responded to Bisnow queries for further information.

Since the Musk takeover, the billionaire has conducted an extensive examination of costs at the company, reportedly telling staff to renegotiate with, or in some cases not pay, Twitter’s outside vendors. 

Altogether, Twitter’s global office space footprint was roughly 1.7M SF at the time Musk bought the company. The company occupied an estimated 1M SF in San Francisco’s Mid-Market district, with as many as 7,500 employees at that time. 

Soon after the acquisition, Musk fired about 3,700 employees globally and insisted those who remain return to the office full time.

Twitter HQ in San Francisco was in the news only last week for reports that  conference rooms are doubling as sleeping quarters, which would be in violation of city building codes.

NFL Notes: Prepping for the Stretch Drive, AFC Playoff Picture – Patriots.com

In terms of the playoff picture, the Patriots did catch a huge break Thursday night when the Raiders melted down in the closing minutes. Up 16-3, Vegas couldn’t finish off the Rams and lost in the final seconds. A win would have brought the Raiders to 6-7, a game behind the final playoff competitors, and a Raiders win in Vegas over the Patriots would have given them a realistic shot. Awful loss to a banged-up team going nowhere with a quarterback who was with the team for less than 48 hours. … Truth be told I’ve never really gotten the league-wide fascination with Niners coach Kyle Shanahan but I have to admit what he’s done with rookie Brock Purdy the last two weeks has been impressive. Purdy, Mr. Irrelevant as the last pick in the 2022 draft, came off the bench to help the Niners beat Miami last week, and in his first-career start he demolished Tom Brady and the Bucs. Not bad. … Speaking of Brady, I’m not quite ready to call it but the end certainly seems near. Brady looked old and slow Sunday as the vicious Niners defense swarmed all around him. He was off target a number of times and just seemed like an angry man throughout, alternating yelling at his teammates, coaches and the officials. In fairness he also yelled at himself more than once, taking responsibility for a number of bad plays. Brady may indeed have more left in his illustrious career, but it’s hard to view the 6-7 Bucs as a viable threat even in the weak NFC. … Injuries continue to wreak havoc with virtually every contending team. Cincy lost wideouts Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd early in their win over Cleveland while Baltimore lost backup quarterback Tyler Huntley in the Ravens victory in Pittsburgh. The most impactful injury of the week came in San Francisco where Deebo Samuel was carted off the field with what looked like a serious knee/ankle injury. Shanahan told reporters after the game that he avoided major issues but could be dealing with a sprained MCL and an ankle sprain. The Niners need Samuel’s toughness and if those reports are true he should be a factor in the postseason.

Apple is already prepping a fresh crop of M3 Macs for 2023 – Macworld

The end of 2022 has been a little disappointing for Mac fans as the rumored launches of the MacBook Pro and Mac mini never materialized, but 2023 is going to make up for it.

According to LeaksApplePro, Apple is preparing several Macs to make the jump to an M3 processor in late 2023: the MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, 24-inch iMac, and Mac mini. That would be a fairly quick shift away from the M2.

Apple launched the M2 chip in June 2022, about 18 months after the M1 debuted, but thus far it appears in just two Macs—the MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro—and the iPad Pro. We were expecting the Mac mini to get an M2 update this fall and the 24-inch iMac in 2023.

According to LeaksApplePro, the speedy shift to the M3 chip won’t affect the launch of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, which are expected to get M2 Pro and M2 Max processors in the spring, or the long-overdue release of the high-end Mac mini, which will likely get an M2 Pro. Curiously, the report also doesn’t rule out the possibility of an M2 Mac mini in March 2023, which in that case would have a shelf life of roughly 9-10 months if the M3 rumors are true.

While the addition of the M3 is sure to create some confusion in Apple’s lineup, it also makes some sense based on previous rumors. Several reports said Apple would switch to a 3nm process for the higher-end versions of the M2, so it might be logical for Apple to roll out a 3nm M3 along with the M2 Pro and M2 Max processors.

No matter what chip is inside them, we’re expecting numerous new Macs in 2023, including the MacBook Pro, Mac mini, Mac Studio, iMac Pro, and the long-awaited Mac Pro. LeaksApple Pro also says a new 27-inch LED mini display with ProMotion technology is on the way as well.

DOH prepping for work on I-79 bridges from Clarksburg to Pennsylvania state line – West Virginia MetroNews

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The state Division of Highways has awarded a $62.4 million bid to rehabilitate 13 Interstate 79 bridges from Clarksburg to the Pennsylvania state line over the next four years.

“Thirteen bridges will be renovated and another contract will be awarded to replace six more bridges in the same section road,” DOH District 4 Bridge Engineer Randy Harris said.

St. Albans-based Triton Construction has been hired to begin the work next spring. Harris said the bridge project along with the ongoing Fairmont interstate widening project is a combined $150 million investment into north central West Virginia.

Most of the bridge work will be rehabilitating the existing structure but some widening could require substructure work that will take more time and potentially cause additional traffic delays, Harris said. Each bridge has a slightly different scope of work based on needed repairs.

“One twin bridge is being widened at this time,” Harris said. “The other four, the abutments are being widened so the superstructure can be widened in the future.”

According to Harris, there are no interstate closures planned at this time for demolition or superstructure work, but that could change. Crews will give the traveling public as much advance notice as possible through the course of the project as traffic control measures are changed.

“The one at the state line is a replacement and it can be done anytime and there’s another bridge in this project that’s further south that can be done anytime also but for the most part, it will only be a couple sets at a time.”

Due to the length of the project and type of work motorists should plan for multiple traffic control zones in work areas that will require more driver attention. Also, because the project is spread over a large area, material deliveries at each site could create intermittent traffic delays throughout the life of the project.

“In most cases there will be two lanes of traffic in each direction at all times but there will be a couple cases where we’ll be down to one lane and in those cases be prepared to be delayed,” Harris said.

The completion date is May 27, 2027.

Prepping for the College Football Playoff – The Colgate Maroon-News – The Colgate Maroon-News

On Sunday, December 4, the College Football Playoff (CFP) Selection Committee released their final rankings for the 2022 season. Made up of 13 members, the committee is typically composed of athletic directors, former coaches, former players and respected members of the media. This year, the committee decided that the University of Georgia, the University of Michigan, Texas Christian University (TCU) and The Ohio State University were the four teams that earned the coveted spots as semifinalists in the CFP. After each semifinal matchup, the victors will face off in the National Championship, hosted at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA on Monday, Jan. 9 at 8 p.m. Immediately, several storylines stick out for this year’s clashes on New Year’s Eve. 

#2 Michigan vs #3 TCU:

In the CFP’s first slot at 4 p.m. EST, the undefeated Michigan Wolverines will face off against the TCU Horned Frogs in the Fiesta Bowl located in Glendale, Arizona. Coming off of a 34-11 defeat in last year’s CFP semifinal against last year’s National Champions, Georgia, Michigan will hope to use its recent playoff experience to its advantage.  

This season, the Wolverines (13-0) cruised to a victory in the Big Ten Championship against Purdue and knocked off the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus by a score of 45-23. Initially, Michigan was led by Blake Corum – one of the country’s most dynamic running backs who recorded 1,483 yards and 18 touchdowns and faced a season-ending surgery after a left knee injury against Illinois in mid-November. In his absence, running back Donovan Edwards stepped up at the end of the season to produce 872 yards and 7 touchdowns, including roughly 400 yards combined against Ohio State and Purdue. At the quarterback position, Michigan is led by J.J. McCarthy, the only quarterback in the CFP that is not in the Heisman Trophy conversation, which is awarded to the country’s most outstanding collegiate player.

On the other side, TCU (12-1) comes off their first defeat of the season against tenth-ranked Kansas State. With a previously unblemished record, the Horned Frogs failed to convert from the one-yard line in overtime and fell to Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship. Despite this defeat, TCU’s resume and victories throughout the season earned them a spot in the CFP. 

Under first-year head coach Sonny Dykes, who came from Southern Methodist (SMU) in Nov. 2021, TCU beat five ranked opponents during the season. In these victories against Oklahoma, Kansas, Oklahoma State, Kansas State and Texas, quarterback Max Duggan paced the Horned Frogs. On the year, Duggan recorded 3,321 yards passing, threw for 30 touchdowns, had only four interceptions and also rushed for six touchdowns. TCU is also led by running back Kendre Miller who ran for 1,342 yards and 17 touchdowns on the season. In this first matchup, Duggan and Miller will look to pace the Horned Frogs yet again and lead his side to victory against a stout Michigan defense aiming to rectify last year’s semi-final loss.

#1 Georgia vs #4 Ohio State:

In the second matchup of the CFP, the reigning champion Georgia Bulldogs will face off against the Ohio State Buckeyes, who narrowly slipped into the field after a late-season loss to Michigan. At the Peach Bowl in Atlanta, GA, the matchup will kick off at 8 p.m. EST in a game that sees Georgia play their third game of the season in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. 

Georgia returns to the CFP after last season’s dominant display in wins over Michigan in the semi-final and Alabama in the championship. After convincing victories against #1 ranked Tennessee and #11 ranked Oregon, Georgia is firing on all cylinders heading into this year’s semi-final.

Led by Stetson Bennett, last season’s CFP Offensive MVP award winner, a balanced rushing attack of Kenny McIntosh and Daijun Edwards and a stellar defense, the Bulldogs will look to attack the Buckeyes early and often in Atlanta. On the year, Bennett has thrown for 3,425 yards and 20 touchdowns, putting him in the conversation for the Heisman trophy. As a veteran leader on the Georgia squad, Bennett will be expected to lead the team to another title by putting up points against the Ohio State defense. 

On the defensive side of the ball, Georgia has benefitted from the return of star defensive tackle, Jalen Carter. In his last six games, Carter has compiled 24 tackles, three sacks and two forced fumbles, helping to lead Georgia’s defense to yet another stellar season.

For the Buckeyes, a bid into the CFP was a sigh of relief after losing to Michigan. With USC’s loss in the PAC 12 Championship to Utah, Ohio State enters the CFP field by a very slim margin. 

Prior to the loss against Michigan, however, Ohio State looked like a well-oiled offensive machine and a force to be reckoned with. After defeating fifth-ranked Notre Dame and thirteenth-ranked Penn State in the regular season, quarterback C.J. Stroud will look to bring the Buckeyes’ aerial attack back to its midseason dominance.

In the time off before the semi-final, the key for Ohio State is getting healthy. Though one of the country’s best wide receivers, Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been ruled out for the season due to a hamstring injury. Also, injured Buckeye running backs still have a chance to get healthy for the game. Against Michigan, the Buckeyes were without their two leading rushers in Miyan Williams and TreVeyon Henderson and were forced to start DeaMonte Trayanum – a converted linebacker. Suppose the Buckeyes want to compete against Georgia. In that case, the team must rest and recover, focus on spreading the ball to Biletnikoff award finalist Marvin Harrison (awarded to the best collegiate wide receiver in the country) and prevent Georgia from big offensive plays that quickly change the trajectory of the game.

Prepping While Pregnant Can Lead to Better Success With Breastfeeding – PR Newswire

There Are Many Factors That Can Derail the Breastfeeding Journey. Thanks to Go-Lacta, Low Milk Supply Doesn’t Have to Be One of Them.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — There is a lot to do before having a baby. Some items on the to-do list are straightforward, like establishing a birth plan and setting up a nursery. Other elements are less predictable, such as preparing to breastfeed. Eight in ten mothers start out planning to breastfeed their children. And yet, less than half manage to make it three months exclusively doing so, with just a quarter reaching the six-month mark recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

There are many reasons for this struggle, including very real concerns, such as an individual’s medical history. And yet, a significant number of mothers point to the simple issue of either a lack of supply or nutrition within their milk that prevents their little ones from thriving early on in their lives. It’s the desire to overcome this distressing problem that led to the creation of the popular lactation brand Go-Lacta.

“Birthing is a beautiful experience,” says company founder Angela Veloso, “but it can also be filled with surprises — especially when it comes to breastfeeding. A mother might find their baby struggles to latch early on. They can also suffer from inadequate milk production — especially if they give birth prematurely. While things like latching can be overcome relatively easily, insufficient milk is a long-term issue. That’s where Moringa helps.”

Moringa is a superfood with a rich history of use as a universal health food in Veloso’s homeland of the Philippines. The popular plant is packed with nutrients, including 46 different antioxidants and all nine essential amino acids. One of the most famous uses for Moringa leaves, in particular, is as a galactagogue, leading to its nickname of “Mother Nature’s gift to women.” Go-Lacta has brought this game-changing breastfeeding supplement to the U.S. in the form of edible capsules, powders, and teas — all of which are made from 100% pure, raw, organic Moringa. This enables mothers to safely prepare for breastfeeding by naturally boosting their milk supply — not just after delivery but in the lead-up to giving birth, too.

“Those first few days are critical for your baby,” says Veloso. “If they’re going to thrive, they need to get the nutrition that they need from day one. That’s why you want to prepare your body throughout your pregnancy by using something safe and effective. That’s Moringa. It’s a superfood with a long track record of helping mothers and babies thrive, and thanks to Go-Lacta, it can continue to support growing families in the future, too.”

About Go-Lacta: The Go-Lacta brand operates under its parent company Sugarpod Naturals. The entire operation was launched 15 years ago, in 2007, and continues to be owned and operated by its founder, Angela Veloso. Both the brand and parent company focus on a shared vision of providing natural health solutions — primarily through the superfood Moringa Oleifera — to help mothers and their families stay healthy without the need for prescription drugs.
