Once I heard a true story about a man, giving a public talk during which he repeatedly bragged about being a self-taught man. At the conclusion, someone in the audience got up and addressed the speaker, saying: “Sir, next time would you consider using some help?”

and mind: “I would rather attempt to do some thing great and fail, than attempt to do nothing and succeed!”Thetrouble is that many who presume to be self-sufficient keep on failing even without knowing it, simply because they don’t consult with others, nor go after help which is abun dantlyThereavailable.isabetter and a best way to do any thing, to achieve any purpose, to reach any des tination, to accomplish any significant feat. Quite often, however, that may not be what you have initially devised but, rather, what you may learn from another. Be humble to acknowledge that and move on to real triumph!

from the word go! Those who think they know it all, and avoid seeking any assistance, move through life only to manifest their ignorance and quite often their stupidity as well.

ble tells us, is true foolishness when we can call on the wisdom and resources of the Creator God. As Proverbs 16:9 says, “In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.” To state it another way, many times we find ourselves inclined to think, “I know what I need to do. I’ve got this,” while God is waiting for us to ask so He can respond, “I have a much better idea.” Here is some more wisdom from the Scriptures:

Selling oats for human consumption seemed foolish at best, crazy at worst, and Crowell’s critics were having a good laugh at his expense. However, again in response to his prayers, God gave him another idea: He would design a cardboard box that could be filled with rolled oats to place on grocery store shelves. The cardboard boxes would be sealed, impenetrable to the insects that would desire to devour the oats as food.

At the Board of County CommisorsionersworkshoponAug.30,2022,May-Weinrothpresentedthecounty’sFire Rescue Department with a certificate of recognition for achieving the Class 1 Fire Department rating, the best possible rating from the Insurance Services Office (ISO). Only .01% of fire departments received this honor out of nearly 40,000 agencies that went through the rigorous testing and reporting process. The ISO rates fire departments based on the ability to respond to and prevent fires. With its new Class 1 Public Protection Classification, Palm Beach County Fire Rescue is now a proud member of the elite Fire Rescue departments in the nation that hold this distinction. This accomplishment is a true testament to the department’s vision statement of “Excellence Today, Improving Tomorrow.”

In the 1880s, entrepreneur Henry Crowell bought an oat mill to produce feed for horses. Even though Crowell had high expectations when he started, the business was struggling and he resolved to turn to God in prayer, seeking a creative solution for his business woes. He had run out of ideas for expanding his horse feed enterprise.In answer to his prayers, God led Henry to embark of an concept that few people, if any, had ever imagined. Crowell would change his “market” for oats, beginning to sell his oats to people – as a breakfast cereal. This was an unconventional strategy, because oats were traditionally sold from insect-infested barrels in general stores as horse feed. No reasonable human being would want to buy oats infested with bugs!

Commit your work to God and trust He will guide you. When tempted to “compartmentalize” our faith, restricting it to spiritual settings like a worship service or private devotional reading, we should remember God wants to be involved in every area of our lives, including the work we do. “Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun” (Psalm 37:3-6).

At the Board of County Commissioners meeting on Aug. 23, 2022, Mayor Robert S. Weinroth presented a certificate of commendation to Nicole Farley, a student at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, for her bravery in saving the life of a local beachgoer who was caught in an ocean rip current while swimming near the South Beach Pavilion in Boca Raton on March 19, 2022.

Today, Crowell’s enterprise has become prominent in the food retailing world and is widely known as Quaker Oats. The company now sells not only oats and oatmeal, but a variety of other cereals and food products. All because he was unable to sell enough oats for horse feed!

Do not insist on figuring everything out. Sometimes in our pride, arrogance or stubbornness, we feel we must understand exactly what we must do and why. God, however, has a different perspective: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

While experts say there are many reasons for heel pain, including bursitis, Achilles tendon itis, bone bruises, fractures, growth spurts and nerve pain, the most com mon cause is plantar fasciitis, a condi tion that one in 10 people will suffer from in their Accordinglifetime.tothe American Col lege of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (AC FAS), plantar fasciitis can have serious repercussions if left untreated. Here’s what to Whatknow:isPlantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the band of tissue (the plantar fas cia) that extends from the heel to the toes in which the fascia becomes irri tated and then inflamed. Symptoms include pain on the bottom of the heel, pain in the arch of the foot, and swelling on the bottom of the heel. For many, the pain is worse upon arising and increases over a period of months.Atelltale sign of mechanical issues in the foot, those with overly flat feet or high-arched feet are more prone to developing plantar fasciitis. Lifestyle factors can also play a role. Wearing non-supportive footwear on hard,

This helps the plantar fasciitis heal and relieves pain symptoms without making an incision.

No matter what kind of treatment a patient undergoes, the underlying causes that led to the condition may remain. Preventive measures, such as wearing supportive shoes, stretching and using custom orthotic devices, are the mainstay of long-term treatment for plantar fasciitis.

(StatePoint) Between the Russian in vasion of Ukraine and sky-high oil and gas prices, a significant pellet fuel supply shortage is likely this winter season. Indus try experts say you should plan ahead and secure your fuel now for the cold winter months. The good news is that, current ly, there is plenty of supply to stock up.

“We typically treat plantar fasci itis conservatively, at first,” said Mi chael J. Cornelison, DPM, FACFAS, a foot and ankle surgeon and pres ident of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. “This can include a combination of remedies, in cluding rest, exercises that stretch the calf muscles, orthotics, icing the heel, over-the-counter medications like ibu profen, supportive footwear and phys ical Mosttherapy.”patients respond well to con servative treatments.

As Tim Portz, executive director of the Pellet Fuels Institute explains, Russia is the second largest producer of wood pel lets globally, supplying more than 2 million tons to global markets in 2020.

“The decision to establish a lactation room communicates the college’s commit ment to caring for employees holistical ly, particularly for women. It says, ‘what matters to you matters to us,’” said DebraAnne Singleton, learning and professional development manager. “Although not ev ery employee will need to use the space, we should all feel good about working in a community where the well-being of employees is a priority.”According to the Office on Women’s Health, a subdivision of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Ser vices, breastfeeding is a biological need. If moms do not have the time and space to pump through out the day, their bodies may stop producing milk, or they can ex perience pain and infection. A dedicated room ensures a relaxed and secure envi ronment for a productive breast milk flow.

“The Reef Hope Project is honestly, prob ably one of the most exciting things that has happened to me in my life so far,” Consalvo said. “Because, I mean, who doesn’t want to go find out what creatures are living inside these little artificial reefs.

It doesn’t get much better than that,” Miles

“This was a long-term project, so I was very excited to finally see what had moved in to these units,” Miles said. “This is our chance to put Jupiter on the map. There are ARMS all over the world, but this is the first time the deeper waters outside the Jupiter Inlet are be ing represented.”

Not big fish and turtles, but creepy craw ly things like brittle stars, snapping shrimp, crabs, sea urchins and snails to name a few. Built of nine 9” x 9” stacked plates, ARMS are like mini-condos, and upon retrieval, sci entists can see who took up residence and gain insights into the health and diversi ty of reef ecosystems and the impacts of ocean stress ors like pollution and ocean acidification. According to the Global ARMS Program website, knowing how ma rine species respond to dif ferent ocean states can help scientists predict and plan actions for a healthier planet.

Jessica Miles, Ph.D., chair of PBSC’s En vironmental Science Department, started the ARMS project at PBSC and installed monitor ing structures in and just outside the Jupiter Inlet in 2017, as part of her Reef Hope Proj ect, her initiative to engage students from all disciplines in activities to save the coral reefs.

“A lot of people experience the ocean, but just on the surface, as a blanket of blue water. They don’t get to see what’s going on under neath,” Miles said. “They don’t get to know these characters that are really sustaining the health and vitality of our coastal ecosystem. We get a chance to do that if we scuba dive, but most people do not get to have that kind of opportunity. So this is a way for us to bring all of that information to light.”

Palm Beach State College has opened a new lactation room at its Lake Worth campus to support breastfeeding mothers. Currently, employees use a private of fice or space to express milk when nurs ing.

When children are at school and miss Mama, or when Scruffy pass es away, whenever they have an ouchie or feel sad, they can connect with their trove of love that’s always there for them – supporting, guiding, comfort ing, inspiring, and more.

“America needs a different definition of higher education excellence, one that em powers public institutions at the expense of elites, instead of the other way around. One that measures what colleges do for their country, instead of for themselves,” said Kevin Carey, guest editor of Washington Monthly. “That’s the philosophy behind the Washington Monthly’s annual college rank ings. Instead of rating colleges by wealth, fame, and exclusivity, we prize social mobil ity, public service, and research.”

The fall event also will celebrate several alumni who have had successful careers:

In the area of technology, Choma wants to focus on the fact that FAU’s School of Ar chitecture has leading experts in artificial intel ligence for the built environment. The school will be one of the first and only to begin to train professional architecture students to learn about how to use AI as a generative design tool. In the near future, the school also will estab lish an AI Lab on the Fort Lauderdale campus.

Derek Ullian ‘05, B.Arch., is senior vice president at Aimco, a national real estate in vestment and development firm based in Los Angeles. The firm recently acquired 9 acres of prime real estate in downtown Fort Lauder dale and plans to build a 3-million-square-foot mixed use project with 1,500 apartment units.

“Schoolsresearch.ofArchitecture are a balancing act. There are many polyvalent dimensions that make up architecture,” he said. “I would like our school to focus on three areas: tech nology, environment and community.

Rourke kept it to score a two-yard rush ing touchdown to push Ohio’s lead to 34-17 with 12:20 to play in the contest. However, the Owls offense started clicking again as FAU scored on their following drive. Perry con nected on a pair of first downs to Edrine be fore threading one through a pair of defend ers to Tony Johnson to get the Owls back on the board, 34-24. Rourke and the Bobcats re sponded at the 7:10 mark as the quarterback completed a 15-yard pass to James Bostic to kick Ohio’s lead back out to 41-24.

The Sailfish opened the season on the road with a two-game road trip in North Carolina. They started the season 2-0 by de feating Barton College 1-0 and Shaw Univer sity 3-0.

After the touchback, Perry connected on a huge 57-yard pass to Burton, who ran out of bounds at the Ohio 18-yard line to put the Owls in the red zone once again. Two plays later, Perry hit Edrine for his second score of the day to cut the Owls deficit back down to 10, 41-31. The Owls forced a Bobcat punt, which LaJohntay Wester returned 41 yards from the Ohio 48-yard line to put the Owls at the Ohio seven-yard line and knocking on the door once again with just over four min utes to play.

The Bobcats took their first lead of the contest out of the halftime break as Rourke connected once again with Wiglusz for a fiveyard score (20-17). With just under five to play in the third, Ohio extended its lead to 27-17 on a one-yard touchdown pass from Rourke to the Bobcats’ Miles Cross to close out the third.

FAU responded on their next drive as Perry connected with a wide-open Jahmal Edrine for a 16-yard score to push the Owls back in front, 17-10. FAU’s defense sacked Rourke on a 1st and 10 from the FAU 16-yard line to eventually force an Ohio field goal and take a 17-13 advantage into the locker room.

The Sailfish jumped out to a 2-0 lead against the Bearcats with goals from Ne manja Zivanovic and Harry Gardner. PBA goalkeeper Guillermo Falo was brilliant early on as he made a handful of crucial saves in the opening 20 minutes, including a penalty save. Lander equalized by scoring two goals before halftime. The ‘Fish got the game-win ning goal when Samuel Richards scored in the 59th minute.

“Defensively, we gave up too much in the passing game,” said Taggart on defense’s performance. “I thought we played soft, and we didn’t put our hands on people and let them run through the zone freely. You just can’t do that. When you run through the zone freely and you’re only rushing three, there’s going to be too much time, and somebody is going to eventually get open. I thought that happened quite a bit there, especially in the third quarter. I got us regrouped and made some plays for us there especially in the fourth, but the third quarter was just bad for us offensively and defensively.”

“Disappointing loss,” said Hagerty Family Head Football Coach Willie Taggart. “You talk about playing at home or playing on the road, you just can’t turn the ball over. We turned it over on our side of the field twice and they got points out of it. You can’t have eight pen alties for 90 yards to try and win on the road. A lot of those penalties came at a costly time when we needed to not receive penalties, espe cially towards the end. We gotta learn that we can’t beat ourselves. When you do those things, that’s what happens. Our football team needs to learn not to make those silly penalties when we don’t need them, you know. That really hurt us.”

Ohio’s Kurtis Rourke posted his first score of the game to open the second quarter, toss ing a six-yard pass to Sam Wiglusz to even the game at 10 apiece.

“We didn’t do a good job of running the football,” said Taggart on the Owls’ running game. “I thought in the first half we did, but in the second half we didn’t establish the run. I think we had a three-and-out and came back out, then they scored, and then we came back and got out again, and they scored and got behind and had to throw the football. We just didn’t establish the run in the second half like we needed to, I thought the first half we did a good job of running the football, but the second half we didn’t. We got away from it. We got down and had to throw the football because of the third quarter and not having the ball as much and come fourth quarter we had to throw the ball more. Again, we want to be able to run the football. When we run the football well, we’re a good offense.”

The Owls scored on their opening drive as N’Kosi Perry connected with a diving Je’Quan Burton on a 20-yard touchdown pass near the pylon to put FAU in front 7-0. Af ter a muffed punt, Ohio got the ball back at the FAU 12-yard line, but the defense locked in to hold the Bobcat offense to just a field goal and maintain a four-point FAU advan tage (7-3). Suarez nailed a 24-yarder to extend the Owls lead back to 7 to close out the open ing quarter, 10-3.
