MY EFFORT TO BECOME A MUSICIAN! MUSIC TO MY EARS

While there is some confusion surrounding his date of birth, famous trumpeter, composer, and vocalist Louis Armstrong was born on Aug. 4, 1901. While I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a jazz man, I have been a musician since elementary school, and music continues to play an instrumental role in my life. “Whenever you hear stories about young kids picking up an instrument, it’s usually the result of a shared familial pastime, but honestly, I’m not quite sure why I made the decision to start playing in the first place.” In the fifth grade, I tried my hand at the violin for the very first time. I started off with simpler songs like “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and continued to work my way toward more advanced tunes. The joy I felt playing the violin those first few years was encouraging, so I decided to take up the saxophone as well. Whenever you hear stories about young kids picking up an instrument, it’s usually the result of a shared familial pastime. However, I’m not quite sure why I made the decision to start playing in the first place. Growing up, no one in my immediate family was all that musically inclined. I do, however, remember my grandfather having a great love for music. He was a deacon in the church we attended, and he also served as the worship leader. I grew up listening to him sing every

Sunday, but I also remember him humming or whistling a tune no matter what he was doing or where he was going. I can think of no

one better to stimulate my passion for music so early on.

Once I was in high school, I directed my efforts more toward sports. While my mom often suggested I join the marching band, my interests were elsewhere until college. A few of my buddies played the guitar, so I decided to give it a try. Fortunately, all the lessons I took early on stuck with me, which made strumming along with my friends much easier. All through college, we’d have some pick-up jam sessions to allow us a much- needed break from all the essays and exams. The fourth and final instrument I know how to play is the ukulele. On the Fourth of July back in 2017, I was on vacation in Hawaii. I came across a ukulele for sale and thought to myself, “I’ve been wanting to learn how to play for years. What better place to start than Hawaii?” These days, the ukulele is my favorite instrument to play. Not only does it provide me with some light-hearted fun, but it also gives me the opportunity to turn off my scattered brain after a long day of work. Being a business owner, I’m constantly going

from one task to the next, and, by the time I get home at night, nothing beats plucking a couple of relaxing, mellow, and breezy tunes to help me recenter my focus and let the stress fall off my shoulders. That being said, when those particularly bad days happen, I can play some faster and heavier songs to find a different kind of catharsis! The best part of my musical experience is that after a few years of watching me play, my son has begun to join in, too. He even has his own ukulele! If you’ve ever been on the fence about learning how to play an instrument, I encourage you to give it a try. It’s a fun, creative, and exciting talent to have, and I’m so glad I started when I did!

THE BEST MEAL OF THE DAY

3 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR NEXT BREAKFAST YOUR BEST BREAKFAST!

Breakfast is the meal that fuels your brain and body for the day ahead, so why not make it the best meal of the day? There are simple tweaks that can make your home-cooked breakfast the best breakfast you’ve ever had. Put away the cereal and bust out the skillet because things are about to get truly delicious. Read on! THE SILKIEST SCRAMBLED EGGS There are many methods for achieving great scrambled eggs, but how does one create the best eggs? The secret is air. In the words of Bob Ross, you have to “beat the devil out of ’em.” Start by cracking a few eggs into a bowl (and add a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired). With a whisk, beat them until smooth. The eggs should start to look light and airy. Then, pour the eggs into a skillet set to medium-low heat. Continue to whisk for a few more seconds. Then, with a spatula, turn the eggs as they begin to curdle. They are done the instant no runny liquid remains. Quickly remove them from heat when they look just underdone and still moist.

delicious bacon — start cooking bacon in the oven. All you need is a baking tray and a wire rack that fits in the tray. Start by heating your oven to 350 F. While it heats, line the tray

with foil, insert the rack, and lay the bacon over the rack. Cook the bacon for about 15 minutes. Keep an eye on it after about the 10-minute mark to check for your ideal doneness. If you want meatier bacon, take it out just as it starts to brown evenly. If you want crispy bacon, give it a few more minutes. Using this method, the bacon is perfectly cooked, and you have no grease splatters to clean up!

THE FLUFFIEST PANCAKES Say goodbye to packaged pancake mix, because if you want the best results, you need to start from scratch. The recipe you’ll want to use comes from The Kitchn. The recipe is Lofty Buttermilk Pancakes. Take care to note that the yolks and whites of the eggs are incorporated separately into the batter; the result is an incredibly fluffy pancake. Here’s another secret: This method of separating the yolk and whites can be applied to almost any pancake recipe. Just be sure to follow the Lofty Buttermilk Pancake recipe method for consistent results.

THE CRISPIEST BACON Cooking bacon can be a messy chore with a lot of cleanup. If you want to avoid this — and still end up with

WHAT ALL PARENTS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CONCUSSIONS IT’S TIME TO PREPARE FOR THOSE FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

The first day of school is on the horizon, which means football season is upon us as well. In the last several years, parents of athletes have likely heard a barrage of terrifying information regarding the number of concussions that occur every year, statistics that leave them wondering what they can do to help prevent and manage concussions for their child. There are a lot of theories about how to manage the symptoms associated with concussions. For example, some health care providers suggest rest, limited electronics, limited activity, dark rooms, and taking the athlete out of school for a period of time, but I have had the unfortunate experience of treating people who were told to do nothing but rest, and years later, they’re often still suffering from the same symptoms as adults. So, what should we do to make sure our young athletes are staying safe? First and foremost, a baseline cognitive test is an essential component of concussion management and should be performed prior to participation in any contact sport. Here at Activcore, we do what’s called the ImPACT test, which gives a baseline of cognitive function that we can then compare subsequent tests to following a concussion in order to develop a rehabilitation process and accurately determine when someone is ready to return to their regular activities or sport.

Second, there is no substitute for proper coaching when it comes to technique, particularly regarding tackling in football. If you have plans to place your child in peewee sports, recreational sports, middle school sports, and/or high school sports, please make sure qualified coaches and certified athletic training personnel are on hand who know what they are doing. Last, if you suspect your young athlete has a concussion, keep them out of their sport until they have seen a proper healthcare provider who deals with concussion management proactively. Let’s all be diligent in keeping our young athletes moving safer, smarter, and stronger. Start your young athlete’s season off right by bringing them to us for an ImPACT test today!

WE BELIEVE IN THE HEALING POWER OF STEM CELLS The human body is a fine example of the incredible power and ingenuity of nature, especially when it comes to stem cells. At Regenerative Sport Spine and Spa, Dr. Pallavi Cherukupally (or Doc, as we like to call her) believes surgery is only one answer to most orthopedic problems and a better one may lie in tapping the human body’s amazing healing and regenerative resources, namely mesenchymal stem cells.

“I had a stem cell spine treatment just recently, and I am so glad I did. The procedure was very simple. In fact, I think it’s far easier than going to the dentist! The first day following my injections, I wasn’t

We’ve seen thousands of patients return to their normal lives feeling completely pain-free after coming in for injections. But you don’t have to just take our word for it! Check out these two patients stories! “I went down to see Doc and her team approximately two and a half months ago. I had stem cell injections in a two of my lower discs, one in the middle of my back, and some in my joints. So far I feel like it has done me well! Doc informed me that it would take five to six months to experience the full effect. But only after two and a half months, I already feel more limber, and my lower back doesn’t hurt anymore. I would highly recommend them!”

really any sorer than I normally am with my regular back pain. Since then, I have felt less pain each day. Now, just a week later, there’s no soreness at all! I am excited to feel the final results once all the cells have done their natural healing thing!”

It was a classic underdog setup on May 4 when the San Francisco Giants faced off against the Cincinnati Reds. The Giants hadn’t won at the Great American Ball Park in three years. They’d been trailing the Reds all game, resulting in a 3-10 score at the top of the sixth inning. Statistics showed the Reds had a 99% chance of winning. But then, the tide turned: The Giants held the Reds and started making runs. At the bottom of the ninth inning, the Giants were only one run behind their opponent with two outs and a pinch hitter, Stephen Vogt, up to bat. Raisel Iglesias pitched to Vogt, who took a confident swing, and … “IT … IS … OUTTA HERE!” Vogt’s home run tied the game, and Evan Longoria followed with another run in the 11th inning to end the game in the Giants’ favor at 12-11. Those watching saw sports history being made. Here are three more tales of beating the odds. HOUSTON ROCKETS VS. SAN ANTONIO SPURS: THE 2004 MIRACLE There’s no “i” in team. But that didn’t stop Rockets player Tracy McGrady from scoring a heroic 13 points in the final 33 seconds of this 2004 basketball game against the San Antonio Spurs. Those final points resulted in a victory for the Rockets, boosting their rankings and confidence. BEATING THE ODDS

US WOMEN’S NATIONAL TEAM VS. BRAZIL: 2011 WORLD CUP HOPE Having scored within two minutes of kickoff, things were looking up for the U.S. women’s team at the 2011 World Cup. But two goals

against U.S. keeper Hope Solo soon brought the score to 2-1, in favor of Brazil. It wasn’t until minute 122 of overtime that soccer legend Abby

Wambach saved the day with a goal to tie up the game. Solo’s elegant deflection of several penalty kicks secured a U.S. win and took the team into the semifinals. CORRALES VS. CASTILLO: 2005 FIGHT OF THE YEAR It’s said that the sheer force of will emanating from boxers Diego Corrales and José Luis Castillo was even felt by those outside the ring during the 2005 Fight of the Year. Ten rounds of intense bouts brought both men to exhaustion. During the 10th round, Corrales was knocked down twice in a matter of seconds and looked beaten. Miraculously, Corrales recovered from his second knockdown and landed a wicked right hook, knocking out Castillo and decisively winning the match.
