Everglades Sunset

A trip to Pine Glades Lake in the Everglades National Park at sunset

We had a photo session out in the Everglades last night and the sunset was spectacular! We knew the mosquitoes were going to be intense so tried the Thermacell product – once it started up – it worked like a champ! I also had netting on and that really worked too.
The colors and hues were just incredible and that reflection from the still water just enhanced the whole image!

Broward Pest Control

MAG Wildlife Pest Control is a home grown, family business with over 40 years accumulated experience within the pest control industry.

We have award-winning technicians:

  • Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Officers
  • Florida certified trappers
  • Florida Certified Pest Control operators.

We can help you with any pest control or wildlife nuisances. Covering all of South Florida, we are licensed, state-certified and insured.

Many pest problems in South Florida may be difficult to control due to our unique environment. Through a regular service program we can keep pests under control in your house and business. Pest control can be effective, convenient, affordable, and environmentally safe.

THE MAG/GARD COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO PEST CONTROL
In order to find the best treatment plan, we do a thorough inspection of your home, both exterior and interior. In doing so, we identify problem areas and customize a pest control program specifically for you.

INITIAL TREATMENT

EXTERIOR

  • First, we put down a barrier of granular or liquid treatment around the perimeter of the house which serves as a wall to protect against incoming insects.
  • Next, we spray all windows and doors with a residual, micro-encapsulated spray to prevent pests from sneaking inside.
  • Finally, we will close any possible entry point where ants, cockroaches, millipedes, silverfish, and any other pest may enter the home (there may be an extra cost for large exclusions).

INTERIOR

  • We start by spraying all baseboards with a residual base micro-encapsulated liquid solution.
  • After, we dust behind all appliances in the kitchen and laundry room. Once done with this, we’ll remove light fixtures both in the kitchen and bathroom to dust within wall voids, where insects like cockroaches and ants hide.
  • This is followed by putting down a gel bait which the pest will take back to their swarm, exterminating them at their nest.
  • We will then place bait stations in strategic crevices within the kitchen and bathroom, creating a long lasting bait program.
  • Lastly, we spray an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) as a birth control for insects that stops the birth and growth cycle of the interior pest.

We have found through experience that this multi-faceted approach is the best way to control the resilient pests in South Florida, such as German Cockroaches, American Cockroaches (Palmetto Bugs), Sugar Ants, grain stored pests, and many more.

The final step is to set up a monthly or bi-monthly visit to assure your satisfaction in your pest controlled home and business.

Whether it be cockroaches in your kitchen, ants in your pantry, bedbugs in your bed, raccoons or opossums in your attic, bees in your tree, any noise in your attic, scratching in your walls, feces in the pool, snakes in the backyard, feral cats, dead animal smell, we are here to serve you.

Our services are backed by one of the best guarantees of complete satisfaction in the industry.

  • Pest Control – Ants – Roaches – Scorpions – Spiders – rats/mice
  • Wildlife Trapping – birds – raccoons – snakes – opossums – armadillos – iguanas – cats – foxes – bobcats – small alligators

Medical Qigong – Qigong Energy Healing

3 Treasures School of Medical Qigong

Lisa VanOstrand teaches qigong and qigong energy healing for 3 Treasures School of Medical Qigong in various places in the United States
My name is Lisa VanOstrand we are providing information on the Barbara Brennan School of Healing and Medical Qigong and Qigong energy healing. I have been highly involved many years in the Barbara Brennan School of Healing as well as the world of Chinese Medicine and Medical Qigong.

The Barbara Brennan School of Healing is dedicated to the evolution of the human spirit. It is a highly respected educational and global healing institution, with thousands of graduates in over 50 countries throughout the world.

I was a senior instructor at the International Institute of Medical Qigong, founded by Jerry Alan Johnson. While it was operating as a school that authorized branches, I held the title of Dean of Psychology.

I teach qigong and qigong energy healing in various places in the United States, mainly Florida and New York. I have studied extensively with Jerry Alan Johnson. In fact, I was one of the early students of Jerry Alan Johnson and was the first person in Florida to receive my doctorate. As an IIMQ teacher, I have the longest history of teaching Medical Qigong in both Florida and New York. I have long been an avid pursuer of spirituality, starting my path with meditation and yoga.

3 Treasures School of Medical Qigong is now a private, post secondary degree-granting institution recognized by the Florida Department of Education and Florida Commission on Independent Education under the authority of Florida State Statutes, Section 1005.06. Unfortunately, because of the New York state laws, the doctoral program will only be offered in Florida. The first class will be on Detoxification. The healing of all chronic diseases must begin with detoxification. This class will include all new material including: Medical Qigong exercises, healing protocols, as well as dietary/nutritional suggestions to support this process.

3 Treasures School of Medical Qigong has been accepted by the American Organization for Bodywork Therapies of Asia (AOBTA) as a candidate for their Council of Schools and Programs (COSP). This is quite an honor and I believe will add a level of prestige not only to Medical Qigong but also for graduates from the program. AOBTA is a national recognized organization that supports Asian bodywork and specifically recognizes Medical Qigong as one of its’ healing modalities.

Medical Qigong is an excellent energetic healing modality regardless of whether you are a client or a practitioner. If you have an interest in learning Medical Qigong, please call (786) 512-7096 to setup an appointment. For more information on line – please visit http://3treasureshealing.com/

The Casino Gaming Industry – A Generational Perspective

By Glenn E. Wichinsky

As a second generation gaming executive, I have witnessed incredible changes in the casino gaming industry. While these changes have often been difficult for me to fully take in and comprehend, I think they can be best understood by taking a long view of how the casino industry has evolved.

My father, Mickey Wichinsky, was an early pioneer of the Nevada gaming industry and began his journey through the gaming industry at the Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas in the mid-1950s. During my early teen years, I would travel to Las Vegas to visit him and stay at the Sands Hotel. These were the times of the Rat Pack, with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., often in plain view on the casino floor and hotel premises where they entertained friends and guests.

Dress attire was more formal and classy in the hotels during this era and the casinos preferred to cater to the high rollers. Guests were paged over the public address system when they were receiving a phone call through the hotel operator. Cellular technology and smart phones were in the unimaginable future, and the younger generation had not become what rock star Tom Petty calls palm gazers. This was a time where people went to majestic hotels and elegant casinos to be seen and entertained. A walk through the now extinct Riviera Hotel and Casino evidenced brilliant plush red carpets and crystal chandeliers. Patrons were expected to conform to a dress code. There was live entertainment and headliners to enjoy, with musicians and live orchestras accompanying them in their showroom performances.

Times have now changed: the names of headline entertainers are no longer as prevalent on hotel signage as they once were; orchestras are no longer a fixture of live entertainment venues; and the observed dress code that is now more commonplace with many guests and patrons in a hotel and casino involves wearing tee shirts, shorts, a baseball cap and carrying a can of beer.

Gaming, in some manner and fashion, has always had an attraction in society. To some, it was an opportunity to become lucky at a game of chance and to walk away with unexpected riches. To others, it can be a means of escaping the challenges we face in life, to place cash or other monetary consideration into a gaming device and to press a button endlessly into the day or evening while staring into some foreign or distant space. Yes, there are still serious gaming players that you will observe in the casinos, but there are also many casino guests and patrons who sit in front of a gaming machine and play the game just to pass time. Often, when successful in winning their jackpots, many do not even fully comprehend why they even won. It is entertainment at some level within a person’s own mind.
