New Year’s Resolutions We Can Keep

Making New Year’s resolutions can feel like a daunting task especially when we set our expectations on tough goals. Here are five resolutions we may actually enjoy and build upon as we continue throughout the months of 2021.

1. Two minutes of mindful breathing a day: Mindful breathing means our attention and focus is simply on our breath. Start by finding a quiet spot in your home where you can sit comfortably.

You can close your eyes or keep them open. Begin with a deep breath in and out. Then, breath normally, but let your belly expand instead of raising your shoulders. Focus your attention on your breathing and your body. Feel yourself sitting and notice how your body feels as a whole. When thoughts come in (and they always do), gently bring your awareness back to breathing.

Try this for two minutes a day and gradually increase. Check out some meditation phone apps that can bring you into guided meditation when you feel up to it.

2. Set a daily intention before you get out of bed: According to 7th Generation Spiritual Teacher, Chandresh Bhardway, “Setting an intention is like drawing a map of where you wish to go—it

WORKING ABOVE THE CLOUDS: MEET NICOLE TALLMAN - EXTREME WEATHER OBSERVER AND EDUCATION SPECIALIST AT MOUNT WASHINGTON OBSERVATORY Specialist, Nicole Tallman, it’s a dream come true.

“The first memory I have of being captivated by extreme weather was when I was around six or seven [years old],” says Tallman. “My sister and I were building a blanket fort in the living room and there was a very loud thunderstorm outside. I remember she was afraid of all the noise and commotion and I was glued to the window watching it occur.”

In the depths of winter at the Mount Washington Observatory, extreme winds can explode furiously over the summit - howling so Tallman says she’s never been loudly even the protection afraid of extreme weather - only of concrete walls at the fascinated by it. This fascination observatory can’t muffle its led to a degree in meteorololoud power.

side my window.”

After her internship, Tallman left the observatory to start her career in science education as a middle school teacher at a private school for gifted children in Connecticut. After two years of teaching in that capacity, Tallman was offered a position at the Mount Washington Observatory as their education specialist. “I was so elated to be able to go back to a place I loved so much from my internship. I quickly packed up and relocated myself to New Hampshire and began my role [last June],” Tallman says.

In the throes of the COVD-19 Crisis, nearly all of the in-person educational programs provided

by Mount Washington Observatory were halted. As a critical source of income lost for the nonprofit, Tallman was tasked with helping to establish a consistent virtual classroom providing education about weather and climate. “We developed and have successfully been running a program titled, ‘Home of the World’s Worst Weather Live’ weekly on Mondays, where we teach a 30-minute program on a topic in weather, climate, or climate change,” Tallman says. “We also provide a linked worksheet to the program on our website mountwashington.org/classroom. I was able to use my previous experience to help with developing the outline for this program as well as developing the individual classes each week. It has been a great way to reach out to not only local middle school classrooms, but even classrooms across the country!” The hope is that hosting

a virtual classroom will assist with the demand of virtual learning. “Each week, we dive into a topic from air masses or fronts, to how extreme winds are measured. As part of the program, we try to relate these topics back to the science and work that is done on Mount Washington,” Tallman explains.

It has been said that when you teach what you love and what you know, you open the minds and souls to worlds unknown.

Tallman’s love for extreme weather is the foundation of her passion, while her real-life experience is the framing that builds her platform as an educator. “As a weather observer, my main task is to observe the weather every hour,” she says. “I, along with my five fellow observers, will start by gearing up to what is needed. Sometimes this is head-to-toe coverage to prevent frostbite and other times it means throwing on a light jacket. We head up one flight of stairs and outside onto our observation deck. Some of the atmospheric variables we are looking at are cloud heights and types, visibility both horizontally and sometimes vertically, precipitation type, and any obscurations like fog.

We also use various weather instruments to measure other atmospheric variables like temperature, wind speed, wind directions and air pressure.

One of the instruments we use almost every observation is called a sling psychrometer and it measures wet bulb and dry bulb temperatures. From Continued on Page 8

NHWM | Inspiring Women Mount Washington Observatory (MWO) is a private, nonprofit, member-supported institution with a mission to advance understanding of the natural systems that create Earth’s weather and climate. It serves this mission by maintaining a weather station on the summit of Mount Washington, performing weather and climate research, conducting innovative science education programs, and interpreting the heritage of the Mount Washington region.

MWO has been monitoring the weather 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for almost 90 years. The long-term collection of data is only possible because humans work to gather it in an extreme, mountaintop environment where machines alone would fail. The data gathered is shared throughout the world, informing those who report and track weather, helping those whose safety relies on accurate environmental information, improving product testing and many other applications.

up over Mount Washington enhancing it slightly. As we see our prevailing wind direction from the west, this effect does impact us frequently. Secondly, being situated in New England means having high density or low-pressure tracks moving overhead. Low pressure systems are typically associated with inclement weather and, therefore, with many low-pressure systems moving over New England, we are at a higher likelihood of severe weather.

Lastly, Mount Washington is at an elevation of 6,288 feet making it the tallest mountain in the Northeast. When winds flow over our summit, they are squeezed between the summit and what is called the tropopause. The tropopause is the top of the layer of atmosphere we live in and acts as a ‘lid’ to where weather can exist. When air is squeezed between us and this ‘lid,’ it is forced to go faster, similar to putting your thumb over a garden hose and forcing water to flow faster through the smaller space. The effect is called the Venturi Effect and it allows winds to be accelerated when passing over our summit.”

When asked about some of the most fascinating aspects of Mount Washington, Tallman praises being able to see so far on a clear day as one of her top five most fascinating things about the summit. “You can watch a thunderstorm develop, grow, precipitate, and die all from the window at my desk. I love being able to look out and see what weather is occurring miles and miles away from me.”

She concludes that having the opportunity to live in such an extreme location and frequently experience and live on the summit is riveting.

This unique place, so powerful and strong, is also fragile to climate change. “Mount Washington has maintained accurate Continued on Page 12

EDUCATION The Power Of Gratitude & Optimism In Difficult Circumstances: How To Help Children Stay Positive

By Samantha Wingate, Director of Admissions and Advancement

G

ratitude is a powerful thing. Though life moves quickly, it’s important to take a step back and remember what we’re grateful for—especially as we celebrate the holiday season and head towards a new year.

2020 has brought unexpected challenges.

While staying positive might be harder than in years past, the holidays provide families with a wonderful learning opportunity to show their children the true power of gratitude and what the holiday season is really about.

How Gratitude Makes An Impact Adopting a gracious view can make a world of difference in someone’s attitude— in children and adults alike. However, it can also go beyond inspiring a positive mindset. The optimism you and your children explore together can benefit not only their mindset, but also their ability to process and absorb information.

selves and the world around them—they’ll be more open to explore their surroundings to the fullest extent.

Samantha Wingate Director of Admissions and Advancement

Fostering Optimism This Holiday Season Keeping your family safe is crucial—but that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to make the most of a socially-distant holiday season.

•

•

•

They’ll not only feel better about them-

Write letters of gratitude to the essential workers near you or in your life. As you and your children work together, share with them what it means to be an essential worker, and what’s still possible during our day-to-day lives thanks to those hard working individuals.

Have an active dialogue with your family about what they’re thankful for this year.

Show them the power of looking for the light during difficult times, and teach them by example about how they can shift their gaze to a “glass half full” mindset.

Together, tell your friends and family how much they mean to you. Reach out to those you might not be able to celebrate with

this year and remind your family that, though those loved ones might seem far away, they are never far from your thoughts and hearts.

•

Give your family (and yourself) some grace. Though optimism can be a powerful tool, let your kids know that it’s okay to feel sad, upset, or angry about the current circumstances, and that those emotions are normal. Give them the space to work through their feelings, to make way for the ability to look towards a brighter future ahead.

From the World Academy family to yours, we wish you a safe, happy holiday season— and the best of luck in celebrating graciously this year.

Award-Winning Early Childhood Education World Academy provides seamless learning in a safe, welcoming environment to stimulate your child’s imagination and physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development. Schedule a tour today!

weather records for over 80 years giving us the ability to evaluate trends in this data,” Tallman explains. “We have seen slow and steady warming to our temperature over the span of our data, which is in line with many other stations across New England.

Our unique feature of the summit’s warming trend is that the summit is warming at a slower rate than the valleys.

Given Mount Washington’s prominence as the tallest peak in the Northeast, the summit is in a part of the atmosphere known as the ‘free troposphere’ about 50 percent of the year that may be responsible for the slower warming rate.”

In terms of the outlook on climate change for Mount Washington, there is still a lot to be researched and a lot of unknowns, says Tallman.

“Recent preliminary research from the summit has also shown that the winter season

is in decline, with overall lower snow depths and more frequent winter melt-out events, which may continue to accelerate in a warming climate.”

It’s easy to see why passionate weather lovers like Tallman look at Mount Washington as living on Cloud Nine. “I have created a lot of memories with many great people during my internship and current position,” says Tallman.

“Living and working together as a team creates a strong bond and friendship. We work through extremes together and get to enjoy the calm beautiful

12 / VOL 3 ISSUE 1 / NEW HAMPSHIRE WOMEN MAGAZINE

moments together as well. Outside of the Mount Washington Observatory, I have never had a similar opportunity to create such a strong friendship with those I work with.”

Tallman is a great example of living out your childhood dreams.

Just like the little girl staring out of the window wide-eyed and fascinated at a passing thunderstorm, she continues to follow her

passion - just at much greater and extreme heights. “You spend over 50 percent of your time on [the summit] and it truly does begin to feel like a home. It is odd to feel welcomed with open arms to a summit with such harsh conditions, but to me that makes it feel more like home.”

Written by Dr. Lisa Vuich, Owner of Renew Medi Spa

MEDICAL SPA | SPECIAL SECTION

RING IN THE NEW YEAR WITH NEW TOX? A SIX MONTH WRINKLE RELAXER IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK Dr. Lisa Vuich is a graduate of Tufts University (1988) and Tufts University School of Medicine (1992). She opened Renew MediSpa in 2006 and has worked steadily since then to ensure that Renew MediSpa remains at the cutting edge of the latest advancements in nonsurgical aesthetics. She is a nationally recognized injector, a member of numerous aesthetic organizations, a Key Opinion Leader for several aesthetic companies, and a Master Clinical instructor for Specialty Med Training. She is board certified by the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine and regularly instructs physicians and other providers on injection technique, platelet-rich plasma therapies and other aesthetic procedures through the Renew MediSpa Training Institute.

Botulinum toxin injections have soared year to year ever since the Doctors Carruthers first began using their Botulinum Toxin for cosmetic indications back in the 1970s. According to the 2019 report of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 7.7 million botulinumtoxinA injections are estimated to have occurred in 2019 in the USA alone. It routinely ranks #1 in the Top 5 Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Procedures list year after year.

Currently there are four botulinumtoxinA brands on the market which are FDA approved for cosmetic useBotox (AbbieVie/Allergan), Dysport (Galderma), Xeomin (Merz) and Jeuveau (Evolus) -the latter of which has been marketed during this past year with the tagline “NewTox.” As the newest toxin/wrinkle relaxer launched in the cosmetic injectable market, Jeuveau was initially priced very competitively- and we were pleased to offer it at a reduced price, passing that savings on to our guests at

Renew MediSpa. A few key points before I move on : * All of the botulinum toxins have the same active ingredient, but differences in the manufacturing process do lead to subtle differences in the patient’s experience- such as onset of action, potency and duration of effect. * This is in part due to the fact that the “units” of one botulinum toxin brand are NOT interchangeable with the “units” of another brand.

In practice, we have what we consider to be “equivalent dosing” that we use if transitioning a patient from one brand to another. Put another way, a “100 unit” vial of Xeomin does NOT contain the same amount of active toxin as a “100 unit” vial of Jeaveau or a “100 unit” vial of Botox! And a “300 unit” vial of Dysport contains MORE active toxin than three “100 unit” vials of any of the other brands put together.

Confusing, I know!

Enter Revance Therapeutics: a biotechnology company focused on innovative aesthetic and therapeutic products, including its next-generation, wrinkle relaxer: (generic name) DaxibotulinumtoxinA. What trade name they market this under has yet to be revealed, but DaxibotulinumtoxinA is under final review with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for glabellar (frown) lines as well as other aesthetic and several medical indications (Migraine, Plantar Fasciitis, Cervical Dystonia and Adult

14 / VOL 3 ISSUE 1 / NEW HAMPSHIRE WOMEN MAGAZINE

Upper Limb Spacticity after Stroke or Brain Injury).

DaxybotulinumtoxinA is a highly purified botulinum toxin, which unlike some others does not contain any human (albumin) or animal based components, which may be additionally attractive to some consumers.

The Doctors Carruthers, the original pioneers of the cosmetic uses of botulinum toxin, were even lead investigators in the Revance studies.

Currently its final approval is delayed because the FDA needs to complete a final site visit, and the Revance Therapeutics site is located in California where Coronavirus is currently raging (thus no travel at this time for FDA agents to that region). The company is in the process of moving its headquarters from California to Tennessee, and their products will be manufactured in the USA. At a time when one brand (Jeuveau) is being squeezed out of the market so to speak by legal battles, it will be interesting to see what happens when the “6 month botox” hits the shelves! Some had questioned whether a wrinkle relaxer with longer duration of action would also have longer duration of potential side effects, but that was not borne out in the clinical studies. Side effect profile was not significantly different from that of other brands.

So, what does this all mean for the consumer/patient?

Well, expect to see some market shift in pricing.

While this new competitor

prepares to launch, AbbVie Inc.’s Allergan and its Korean partner Medytox Inc. have been winning U.S. trade disputes in court, in which they seek to block imports of Evolus Inc.’s Jeuveau. This month the U.S. International Trade Commission upheld a judge’s previous finding that Evolus and Daewoong manufactured Jeuveau with a secret process stolen from AbbVie’s South Korean partner. A previously proposed 10-year ban on Jeuveau imports was reduced to 21 months, but the price per vial has nearly doubled for those of us in the industry and I remain skeptical about future availability of Jeuveau in the US. Some practices, including my own, will likely run out of current stock of Jeuveau and decline to order more, preferring instead to launch the DaxybotulinumtoxinA “6 month botox” as soon as it is available.

For anyone who would like to understand more about toxin dosing, I invite you to visit our Specials page at www. renewmedispa.com. There is a link to a free webinar I developed, called “The Truth About Tox,”which explains botulinum toxin actions, dosing, etcetera. No doubt I will need to update that webinar in 2021 to include more information about DaxybotulinumtoxinA as it becomes available.

Great NH Restaurants Installs NASA Grade Air Purifiers In All Locations

An Abundance of Precautionary Measures AqualiteUS.com T-BONES, CJ’s & Copper Door restaurants are now all fully equipped with state of the art, NASA grade air purification systems as an additional step to further protect guests from airborne and surface viruses and bacteria, including COVID-19.

“With the outdoor dining season coming to a close and some guests still being cautious of indoor dining, we wanted to provide an abundance of precautionary measures to ensure the safest environment for our many loyal guests,” says Tom Boucher, CEO of Great NH Restaurants. The restaurant group has put dozens of additional safety protocols into place since the beginning of the pandemic. In addition, they commissioned Saint Anselm College Survey Center to conduct a poll to give a true idea of consumer attitudes about dining during the COVID pandemic; to ensure that practices and precautions being taken were aligned with consumers expectations for safe and comfortable dining experiences. The results motivated the company to seek out state-of-the-art air purification systems. After much research, Great NH Restaurants overwhelmingly chose Aqualite US and has since installed a system in every location, including their administrative office.

“Our primary goal at Great NH Restaurants has always been to deliver a great dining experience and peerless value to our customers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has added an unexpected element to how we operate, but by continually listening and adjusting, we are determined to provide our customers the safest dining experience possible,” states Tom Boucher, CEO at Great NH Restaurants.

What You Can Expect From Us:

The Aqualite US ActivePure® air cleaning technology is proven to safely remove 99.97% of airborne viruses as small as 0.1 micron, including COVID-19.
