PUBLISHER'SNOTENOVEMBER2016 Have you watched the "Presidential" Debates? According to the ratings, so did a quarter of the American public. It seems like we'll have a new president in the next few days, and I hope your nominee won. If not, maybe next time. No matter what the outcome of this 2016 Presidential Election is, just remember that the good ole USofA is still great. You know why it's still great? I'll give you a hint: I'ts because of you. Because you're still here. Thanks for being the American you are.

ONTHECOVER

I'm keeping this Publisher's note short for the simple reason that I don't want to ramble on and on about politics. You've got a lot to do to prepare for the holiday season, and I understand that. I would like to leave you with a few pieces of knowlege, though. 1.) If you haven't heard, Luna Bar and Grill now has sweet potato waffle fries. That could turn any frown upside down. 2.) No good story ever begins with, "There I was, bottle of water in hand, playing it safe." 3.) There's an online watch company, MVMT Watches that is becoming very popular. Their watches are very cool-looking, and start at $95. But, you can find the same watches without the MVMT logos for $7.95 brand new. Just look up "Cocotina watch."

View By Calvin Tyler

Once not so often will you have what feels like a happy coincidence turn into a city-changing story. Such an experience happened to me after starting Exposure Magazine and moving into our office. Warren (Editor-In-Chief) and I were excitedly awaiting the direction of our newly founded business to fall out of the sky and hit us with true purpose. It's easy to think you know what your business is about when you're putting the mission statement together, but in a city of multiple publications- all of which are great and needed- there was this idea that we could spotlight something in Lake Charles in a unique way. Something that would showcase the character, drama, and personality of not only what L.C. is, but what L.C. deeply wanted to evolve into. After publishing a few local artists and having their work met with high regard, it seemed that Exposure had found its calling. The magazine was young enough to take the bold chances necessary, so we shifted direction and began the arduous and never ending task of searching out the exceptional masters of art crafts that surround our area. One such artist seemed to march into our office due to the same phenomena that was leading us to want to publish artists in the first place. This artist was Jeremy Price. I met Jeremy because one of Warren's friend, Chris, told us he was awesome and showed us some of his work. Then, maybe two days later, Jeremy came in with a gift: a framed wood stamp portrait of the native American chief, Red Cloud. Jeremy was quiet and reserved then, and still is to this day. It's who he is and how he's comfortable. He never gave any excuses when it came to working on the Downtown Art Wall (view at the end of this article), his first large scale mural, by the way, nor when he started getting other large murals on the historic buildings of downtown. When it comes to his art; Jeremy Price is controlled and confident. Since shaking his hand for the first time, I have had the

pleasure of watching the downtown area of Lake Charles move into the next phase of its evolution, and I know it's because Warren's friend showed us Jeremy's sketches, he came into our office, and we asked if he'd be interested in painting over the vandalized BeforeI Diechalkboard wall for the Arts & Humanities Council. Where Dave Evans of Luna carried the torch into Downtown to reignite its furnace; Jeremy Price has taken to that canvas and thrown gasoline at it by bringing more of an edge to its public art. Now you can't walk through Downtown without feeling a unified vision for the future. This is because a few people took ownership of the area, and Jeremy is now one of those pillars. Jeremy Price was recognized as Artist of the Year during the 2016 Mayor's Arts Award, hosted by the Arts & Humanities Council of SWLA. There couldn't have been a better choice, in my opinion, and I believe that the citizens of Lake Charles have a lot more to look forward to from its very own Jeremy Price. #supportlocal

ARTSFEST2016!

WHATASUCCESS! By Jody Taylor

The Arts Council of SWLA and the City of Lake Charles recently provided a free art opportunity to over 500 local children on Saturday, October 22, 2016. Based on an ?Under the Sea?theme, some of the art projects included a paper bowl jellyfish, fish puppet, shark mouth mask, and discovery shell necklace, while local potters were on hand to assist Lake Area youth in the design and creation of an original piece of pottery, and The Art Factory assisted in making custom screen prints.

The Calcasieu Parish Public Library, Sylvan Learning Center of Lake Charles, Girl Scouts SU#205, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, and Painting with a Twist were just a few of the local businesses and organizations manning booths and assisting in the making of art for the four-hour event. Student members of the St. Louis Catholic High School Art Club, under the supervision of Stephanie Robertson, assisted in the manning of the booths, as well as providing face painting, while McNeese State University Admissions and Recruiting showed their support with an Underwater Rowdy coloring page, and student teachers assisted making crafts. Entertainment coordinator Julian Quebedeaux enlisted the help of local storyteller Elizabeth Daigle, musicians from Trinity Baptist Church, and dancers from Lake Area Ballet Theatre to keep the crowd laughing and dancing, while the sweet smells of Kona Ice and Air Confetti filled the Exhibition Hall. There was no shortage of energy and excitement. ArtsFest is an annual event held every October, and was sponsored this year by: City of Lake Charles; Arts Council of SWLA; Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development, Department of Culture and Recreation and Tourism; Walmart Foundation-Store #0521, Moss Bluff; L?AuBerge Casino Resort; Lake Charles Office Supply; McDonald?s; Parker Brand Creative; Pixel and Ink Creative; and Stine. While this year?s event might be over, planning has already begun for ArtsFest 2017. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, manning a booth, volunteering, or attending the event, please contact the Arts Council staff at 337-439-2787, and visitwww.artscouncilswla.org for information on additional programming.

Same thing I always get, Boba Gump Tacos...

JANUARY 2016

WHAT'STHEWORSTTHINGTHAT COULDHAPPENTODAY? What's the worst thing that could happen if you ask a customer to buy f rom YOU right now and they say NO?

Chances are: You'll still eat a meal tonight. You'll still have a car to get into and leave this evening. You'll still have a home to go to. You'll still be able to sleep in your own bed. You'll still have people who love you. You'll still be a good person. You'll still be alive to tell about it. Asking never killed a salesperson-not asking has. It's what you didn't ask f or that has robbed you of your hopes, wishes, dreams, and a better way of living. GoFor Noauthor Andrea Waltz put it best this way, "When the model we operate with is about protection...avoid 'failure' at all costs, opportunities are wildly limited." It's when you stopped asking that has caused you to be negative in your bank account, past due on your car note, and late on your mortgage. It's not asking that has caused you to have to borrow money from your parents-again, have no insurance, and manipulate the government for assistance. Not asking has caused you to put borders around your potential-the more you don't ask for, the tighter those borders have become. Not asking causes you to succumb to a life of just holding on, waiting for the big break that never comes and drifting through your one life-dead at 20, buried at 70. Everything you want in lif e is on the other side of what you ask f or. Everyone wants, but most won't take the risk to simply ask. So I ask you again, what's the worst thing that could happen if you ask a customer to buy from you right now? The worst thing that could happen is they won't buy-as a matter of fact, statistically speaking, even if you do everything right, they still won't buy. On the flip side, when you ask, what's the best thing that could happen?How about, a life that you never thought were possible. While others answered their fears, you were bold enough take the leap to ask-and when they said no, you didn't lose, you learned. You learned what you should've said, offered, presented, and what you could've tried. Risking rewires your brain and rewards you with greater and greater opportunities. The more you risk by asking, the more opportunities become available. With great risks, come even greater rewards. One in the most powerful verbs in life is ASK. It's your job to ask; it's their job to answer.

SCT&ELNGisconstructinga$6.9billion Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Export Terminal withintheStateof Louisiana, providing an environmentally-friendly and clean fuel source to the global energymixwithanincreasedemphasis onsustainability Companies worldwide are increasingly tasked with finding cheaper, more sustainable energy sources that will reduce increasing levels of environmental pollutants while continually meeting the demands of its growing consumer base. Originally established by Southern California Telephone Company, SCT&E LNG is now globally renowned as the developer of a 12 mtpa natural gas liquefaction and LNG export facility on Monkey Island in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The company?s innovative and technical innovations in providing sustainable and affordable natural gas via LNG to countries in need of clean burning and inexpensive SCT&ELNG is constructing a $6.9 billion Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Export Terminal within the State of Louisiana, providing an environmentally-friendly and clean fuel source to the global energy mix with an increased emphasis on sustainability Strategically located on Louisiana?s Calcasieu Ship Channel, the future SCT&ELNG facility sits approximately 2.5 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico. The project site is located near the heart of the U.S. natural gas intrastate and interstate pipeline systems, just miles from major gas pipeline interconnections. SCT&E LNG has received Order No. 3566 from the Department of Energy granting them a 30 year authorization to export approximately 1.60 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) of natural gas, or approximately twelve (12) million tons per annum (mtpa) of domestically produced LNG, by vessel from the proposed SCT&E LNG Export Terminal to countries with whom the United States has a Free Trade Agreement. SCT&E LNG also has a non-FTA application on file with the DOE that is pending approval about energy solutions has been globally recognized, at which the company has been recently nominated for the CWCAsia Pacific LNG Innovator of the Year Award for its unique 20 year fixed price LNG supply offering, a first of its kind in the industry.

?The United States has an abundance of clean natural gas, and there are places in the world that are in desperate need of clean fuels, rather than pollutants which we are currently experiencing. SCT&E LNG will supply inexpensive, stable, and clean burning fuel into parts of the world that desperately need it,?explains Eric Smith, Executive Director of Business Development. SCT&E LNG?s unique 20 year fixed price option is just the beginning of the company?s innovative offerings in the industry. According to CEO Greg Michaels, the company is ?currently working on crafting LNG supply deals based on exotic indexes, something no one else has been able to achieve before.? Multiple natural gas pipelines are located close to the 246-acre project site, which will allow natural gas to be collected and treated effectively in order to go through the liquefaction process where the gas will be cooled to -162Â°C(?260 Â°F) degrees. The LNG will then be placed within three onsite storage tanks situated alongside three LNG trains incorporated into the SCT&E LNG development. The storage tanks will hold around 160,000 cubic meters of LNG supply each, which will cater to the increasing demand for clean burning fuels, and can be utilized for a multitude of needs, from commercial and residential use, to industrial and transportation services. While innovation is a key distinguisher of SCT&E LNG?s business philosophy, pursuing ?proven?strategies, technologies and locations is also a fundamental aspect of its business model. Louisiana already has a robust infrastructure in place and has garnered strong community and government support. The $6.9 billion SCT&E LNG development will provide over 1,500 construction jobs, boost the USeconomy and has garnered widespread political support. Louisiana is also currently the third natural gas producer and the ninth crude oil producer in the nation. ?Our facility will have a direct positive impact on the health of tens

of thousands of people where our gas will be consumed as well as contribute to the health of the global environment,?adds Michaels. The SCT&E LNG project is headed by a strong executive team of energy professionals with vast experience within the LNG and EPCindustries. Vice President of Engineering, Scott Ray, has extensive knowledge and vast experience in designing and constructing a number of LNG liquefaction facilities globally, in addition to commissioning five LNG trains and seven cryogenic storage tanks. With over 27 years of experience in Engineering, Construction and Procurement (EPC) industry, Ray?s expertise compliments that of Smith, who is currently developing the project?s commercial and business development strategies. ?Our strategy is to have the most knowledgeable team of people with a high level of industry experience directly related to developing projects like ours. We run with a lean team to maintain staying power through the development phase, and to bring results and return on investment to our partners?, explained Michaels. Running lean is a fundamental factor in SCT&E LNG?s continued success, and the project has been able to achieve several key milestones at the fraction of the money spent by other, more heavily funded projects. Michaels explains, ?We are careful with our capital and understand what an important tool it is. We operate under a ?waste nothing? mentality and negotiate with every contractor aggressively. We listen intently to our advisors and contractors, then apply their recommendations based upon our team?s extensive experience. We approach our customers/offtakers with the mindset of best supporting their needs. The response from offtakers on our commercial innovation, proven decisions, and customer service confirms that SCT&E LNG?s way of operating is working.?

?The fact t hat est ablishing t his facilit y w ill make a dif fer ence in t he lives of so many people ar ound t he wor ld is what excit es me and t he ent ir e t eam most? ? Greg Michaels, CEO

SCT&E LNG has placed an increased emphasis on fulfilling what has been titled the ?second wave?of LNG demand, which is predicted to begin in 2023 and rise thereafter. This prediction coincides with the timing of SCT&E LNG?s signed Natural Gas Supply Agreement, negotiated by Michaels, which begins at the commencement of the facility?s operations around 2023 and ensures a 20-year fixed price for the supply of LNG for SCT&E LNG?s customers.

ALLABOUTEVE EpigeneticVariabilityEffector By Dr. Henry Goolsby

In an effort to create the basis of understanding for the reasoning behind the treatment regimens and lifestyle changes that many of us must implement to succeed in the endeavor of health optimization, I created a brief presentation utilizing a robotic epigenetic actuator. I like to attribute my love of many of the Walt Disney animated features to my sons Henry and Hayden. Truth be known however, I would probably have collected them anyway because they are so creative. That truth admitted, EVE, the romantic paramour of the heroic garbage compactor in WALL-E was an ideal creation for the epigenetic discussion I give to all of my patients upon initiating their programs. It goes a little like this: We are, most of us aware that we inherit a set of blueprints from our parents that is the template for our life, health and wellbeing. This would be our DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). If we honor the blueprint we stay happy longer, disrespect it on an ongoing basis and, well, you know where I?m going here. There is a reason we don?t feel as well as we were accustomed to earlier in our lives. It is not however simply because we are older. Certainly, time has its sacred role in the evolution of our sense of well being, but only to the degree the choices we make create the outcomes of our desires; passive or active. ? ?Oi chusoi Dios aei enpiptousi!?God?s dice are always loaded 5 .? And, in the case of the human being, the balance of the outcomes is such that we may effectuate improved healthspan and longevity by sewing the right

seeds. As Mr. Emerson so astutely noted, in this way we know we will always be compensated for how we live our lives and the choices we make (or the ones we avoid making). Biologically, we are also aware that our organs allow us the largess of an impressive reserve. This reserve is permissive of ongoing insult to the tune of eliminating up to eighty percent, or more, of each end organ?s (heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, bone marrow, etc.) function without endangering our ability to survive. We may, in fact continue to thrive, improve and perform on a relatively high level with this level of organ function. Eliminate that one or two more percent from this marginal function and there it is illness, disease, and most importantly loss of the sense of invulnerability that accompanies our youth. Or, possibly, there is only the subtle nagging impression of ?not quite capability,? the hesitancy of limited faculty or the gloom of deficit in competition against a younger adversary. The vigor of our prime, this is the thing that we try to compensate for by virtue of increasing the duration of our exercise, modified nutritional intake and, more often now, by entertaining the consumption of multiple bioactive supplements and nutraceuticals. This is the question that is foremost on our minds. What will enhance our waning stamina, our sense of well being and take us back to the ?glory days?? The question then becomes; when was our prime time? Most would argue that our bodies are at their best sometime in our late teenage years to our mid-twenties. This should be true for most of us; barring the inheritance of some devastating genetic error passed on by our parents and activated by some fluke of the environment. We now have the knowledge that subtle changes occurring in multiple different parameters are associated with clinically meaningful detriment insofar as concerns our longevity and its quality as we?re reeling in the years. Numerous are the studies actually that now substantiate the existence of optimum parameters of our biology that decrease risk of many disease processes. Most of the healthier parameters replicate our more youthful years (e.g. maintaining certain hormone levels in the upper twenty percentile of our lifetime values correlating with decreased risk of heart attack and strokes). This optimization yields a

| SCIENCE

robust and substantial improvement in our sense of well being as well as sustaining a biologically youthful vascular infrastructure. What is the biological infrastructure that defines the consumption of our reserve over our lifetimes? The information that manages our reserve is received from our parents and is encoded in our DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA is associated with numerous proteins and enzymes forming 23 pair of chromosomes. The human genome project, completed in 2001, found approximately twenty-six thousand genes. This is referred to as our genome 1 . These genes, by the process of transcription, lead to the formation of an as- of-yet unknown total number of proteins (the sum total of proteins transcribed from our DNA is called the proteome). Estimates are that there are somewhere from 150,000 to two million proteins that may be formed and incorporated into a human body. How is this possible? Our genome is essentially available for interpretation and expression by a complex system of reactions that has been called epigenetics. This is where I like to introduce EVE (Epigenetic Variability Effector). EVE is the personalized concept of an intelligent collection of molecular biological activities that may improve, leave unchanged, or compromise the function of the cell into which information is provided. Based on the influences that each of the cells in our body is subjected to, their individual epigenetic infrastructure (EVE) interprets and guides the subsequent biomolecular events that yield positive or negative DNA expression and interpretation (i.e. protein products to be transcribed from the genome). That is to say EVE will be either happy, mad or unmoved by the statements made and provided by the outside world (food, ingested or inhaled toxins, radiation energy from the sun? ) or by the inside world (metabolic and hormonal changes due to ever-present responses of our mind and bodies to the interactions with the world around us and our thoughts and imaginations). These byproducts will then go on to influence the positive or negative outcome of the cell. Some of these changes are short lived (one or two cell cycles, depending on the exposure or the local environment), Some however may be imprinted for the lifetime of the individual and one or two generations thereafter. So, despite the resolution of the evolutionary exposure that caused the manipulation of the DNA infrastructure, the effects of EVE?s good work may have the opportunity to live on in generations to come. Resolution would be achieved in the absence of continued environmental pressure after an undetermined number of generations. The information that produces epigenetic modulation of the genome may be of intracorporeal (inside the body), or extracorporeal (outside the body) origin. Ultimately it is this input of information that exacts the beneficial, neutral or adversarial impact on the cells of the body. Extracorporeal information input is easy enough for most of us to conceptualize. Many nutritional, pharmaceutical, physical, infectious, and toxic agents may play a logical role in the manipulation of our epigenetic manifestations. In actuality the field of nutritional epigenomics is just beginning to yield fruit (ahem) by virtue of studies involving the elemental content of food substrates. These elements are then assessed to appreciate the effects they have on

DNA expression and ultimately how they lead to pathways that may improve individual wellbeing. There is far too vast a literature array available to dwell on at this time. Suffice it to say we may soon potentially be able to choose our meals to modulate whatever part of our genome we wish. Intracorporeal influence derives primarily from our hormonal and autonomic nervous system and the influences their actions may have on the multiple end organs that maintain life. This system is of primordial importance and will be the focus of the behavior modification that will accompany the utilization of this text. The sum of these epigenetic modulations will eventually yield an environment that either consumes, ignores or improves the reserve of our different organ systems. Think briefly about a coronary artery and the long term effects of hypertension, diabetic hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. The combination of these assorted nefarious conditions on the coronary arteries consumes their reserves ultimately giving way to the clinical manifestations of angina and myocardial infarction when the diameter of the arteries restricts blood flow to the heart muscle. This as we all know well reduces the delivery of oxygen to quantities less than the heart requires for the effort being performed.

Lake Charles Pit Bull Rescue (LCPBR) is a 501c3 organization. We are a community based organization that, not only provides service dogs and therapy dogs (See ?The Positive Pit Project?), but are instrumental in helping with animal cruelty cases (See ?Team Halo? and ?Eylsa?s Purpose?). We also provide training workshops as well as community services, such as helping to build fences for families in need. All of our dogs are fully vetted (spay/ neuter, microchip, all shots, heartworm neg,), and our adoption fee includes a training session with our trainer. All dogs under our care receive the best care possible, which has included heart surgery, Cancer treatment, and MRI?s all done at LSU Veterinary School of Medicine. We provide continued support for all of our adopted dogs when needed, and consider our foster parents part of our family!
