nursing services are only needed for short periods of time, such as after someone has experienced an injury, a serious illness, or a hospital stay. Other times, skilled nursing services are administered to those who suffer from chronic conditions and need roundtheclock care.

Skilled Nursing Facility Vs. Nursing Home There are many similarities between a skilled nursing facilit

y and a traditional nursing home. One primary difference, though, is the depth of care and range of services available. In a skilled nursing facility, youre much more likely to have contact with skilled medical professionals registered nurses, doctors, physical therapists, etc.. How to Choose a Skilled Nursing Facility If you think your parent or loved one could benefit from skilled nursing services, its important to make sure youre choosing the right facility for their needs. These guidelines can help you find the best facility with the most qualified staff Ask About Staffing Levels Most nursing facilities have a relatively high level of staff turnover. But, if none of the facilitys employees have been around for more than a few years, thats a red flag. There should be some staff members who have been working at the specific facility for quite a few years and seem satisfied with their job. Be sure to ask about staffing on weekends, during the evenings, and over holidays. Will your parent or loved one get the

care they need at all times, or will there be periods when the staff is stretched too thin? Consider Staff Experience and Licensing In addition to asking about staffing levels, be sure to ask about the facilitys licensing requirements and the staff members levels of experience. Are all the staff members licenses current? Do they have experience caring for people with your parents specific condition? Ask About the Activities Offered If your parent or loved one is going to be staying in a skilled nursing facility, there ought to be a steady stream of different activities available to them throughout the day. Ideally, there will be both indoor and outdoor activities. Ask to speak to the facilitys activity director and find out what they offer. Are there activities your parent or loved one will enjoy? Do they provide opportunities for residents to give feedback and make suggestions for future activities? Many skilled nursing facilities may even post the events and activities on their websites and social media if

you dont want to ask directly. Pay Attention to the Other Residents While youre taking a tour of the facility, pay attention to the other residents. Do they seem happy? Are they engaged in games or activities? Are they neatly groomed and clean? Pay attention to how the staff members interact with the residents, too. Are they polite and friendly, or do they seem rushed and distant? Check to see if there are any visiting families at the facility during your tour. If there are, stop and ask them whether theyre satisfied with the care their loved one is receiving. Eat a Meal at the Facility If you can, try to eat a meal at the facility, too. This will help you determine the quality of the food and see if its something your loved one or parent can eat on a regular basis. If you cant eat a meal there, at least ask about the types of meals offered. Are there registered dieticians on staff? This is a good sign the facility cares about providing residents with nutritious, balanced meals. Ask if the facility is able t

o accommodate specific dietary needs, too. And, pay attention to the way they serve the meals. Do all residents eat separately in their rooms, or do they eat meals together in one large dining area? Make Sure the Facility is Clean The facility ought to be clean and should not have any strong odors. Everything should be dusted and polished you shouldnt notice stains or large collections of dust during your tour. Be on the lookout for a strong air freshener scent, too this is often a sign theyre trying to cover up an unpleasant odor. Look for Reports of Complaints or Violations Finally, do some online research to find out if there are any complaints against the facility or reports of violations. Check with the Better Business Bureau and online review platforms such as Yelp to make sure there arent any serious issues housekeeping problems, complaints of neglect, etc. Want to Learn More About Skilled Nursing Facilities?

What Reys New Look Means for STAR WARS THE LAST JEDI! What the STAR WARS EPISODE 8 Title Means! 3 Theories! We Finally Know How Kylo Ren Turned Evil! STAR WARS EPISODE VIII Rumors! Report Lucasfilm Weighs Leias STAR WARS EPISODE IX Role How the First Order Will Be Even More Deadly in STAR WARS THE LAST JEDI! Posted by Blair Marnell on March 3, 2017 Just over a year ago, Star Wars The Force Awakens kicked off the new trilogy and a new era for the franchise by introducing an exciting lineup of new characters as well as many of our returning favorites. The film also borrowed heavily from the very first Star Wars movie, but the upcoming sequel, Star Wars The Last Jedi, has the potential to carve out some unexplored territory in the aftermath of The Force Awakens. Todays Nerdist News is exploring a new rumor has emerged about the state of the galaxy after the destruction of Starkiller Base. Before we go any further, there are potentially massive spoilers ahead for The Last Jedi. Dont say that you werent warned! Jo

in guest host, and honorary Dark Lord of the Sith, Tiffany Smith, as she examines the secret data that so many Bothans died to bring you. The latest rumors come from Making Star Wars, a site that has a pretty good track record. Since The Last Jedi is literally starting a few seconds after The Force Awakens, it means that were going to see the fallout from the First Orders actions in that story. Remember, no one took the First Order seriouslyuntil they blew up the capitol planet of the New Republic. Now, it appears that Snokes burgeoning empire still has momentum on its side, as he and Leia scramble to make new alliances. While Lucasfilm has downplayed suggestions that The Force Awakens will crib from The Empire Strikes Back, its hard not to see several parallels between the two. General Leias mission may bring her to a planet that reminds fans of Cloud City, while a good deal of the story will also deal with Reys tutelage under Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. Eventually, the two stories may converge as they did i

n Empire. But were not complaining! If Lucasfilm has to look to the past for inspiration, it might as well be the best damn Star Wars film of all time.

Tech Reading the tea leaves Google confirms mobile phone in development Google phone rumors have been picking up lately, and the company's chief Jacqui Cheng Mar 16, 2007 347 pm UTC Google's chief executive in Spain and Portugal, Isabel Aguilera, confirmed this week that the company has been working on a mobile phone. As part of an interview with Spanish news site Noticias.com, Aguilera mentioned that "Some of our engineers' time is dedicated to the development of a mobile phone." She also reiterated that about 70 percent of Google's engineers' time is dedicated to developing the main products for the company, 20 percent of the time is to develop products that are somewhat related to the main business, and about 10 percent of engineering time is spent on projects that could be tangentially related to the business, indicating that the phone development was not necessarily an active project. Big tech companies getting into the phone business seem to be the rumor du jour lately first Apple, then rumor of the

Zune phone, and, of course, Google. Google phone rumors have been picking up a bit lately, accelerated by a recent partnership between Google and Samsung to bundle mobile versions of Google apps on Samsung phones. This caused some to believe that Google might be working on a Samsungpowered phone. The Samsungpowered Google Phone is rumored to be a Blackberrylike device that would run VoIP services. Pictures of the alleged device, which appear to be very iPhonelike, have been floating around the web. There have also been other rumors, such as one saying that Google may have been previously been working with Orange in Europe to build a mobile phone there. Another revolves around a recent patent filing by Google that aims to predict what a user is searching for from his or her mobile phone based on location, search history, and time of day. This would mean that the phone would know that the user is most likely looking for someplace to eat lunch in downtown Chicago if she is beginning a search around noon and is c

urrently on the north side of the Loop. Some have speculated that this technology could be for use with the Apple iPhone which can already access Google Maps and may gain GPS abilities in the future, but others believe that it's indicative of Google's own plans to launch a smartphone. So far, Aguilera's "confirmation" appears to indicate that the "Google Phone" is more of a concept than an actual product. Despite much excitement on the Internet over the comments, Aguilera made no indication that the phone was in active development and said that the project was being worked on "among others." However, Google's recent push to make its mapping, mail, and search apps available on mobile phones may be an indication that the company is feeling out the mobile marketplace a bit more than it's letting on. Can we expect a Google smartphone to be competing with others in the marketplaceparticularly Apple's upcoming iPhonein the next few months? Probably not, but it wouldn't be surprising to see one show up eventually. A

Google spokesperson told Ars that "Mobile is an important area for Google and we remain focused on creating applications and establishing and growing partnerships with industry leaders to develop innovative services for users worldwide. However, we have nothing further to announce."

Winter Session 2015 CUBA Dear Visual Arts, Art Education, and Art History Students Have you ever thought that it would be incredible to go to Cuba? It is . . . and you can! We are very excited to announce that our department has planned a groundbreaking study trip for Winter Session 2015 that includes Havana, some other Cuban cities, and Miami, Florida. Groundbreaking in at least two ways First, TCNJ has never before gone to Cuba; Second, the shortterm studyabroad trips with your faculty have never before been crossdisciplinary within the department. This program is a visual artsart history collaboration, led by Professors Allyn, FichnerRathus, and Mackie. It is open to any major or concentration across the college but it is designed with our department students in mind. Participants will be able to individualize their learning experiences by focusing on one of three options that will culminate in related but different final projects. Option 1 Art HistoricalCuratorial Research under the guidance of Dr. Lois F

ichnerRathus The study of one or more Cuban works of art, monuments, sites, or artists culminating in a virtual art exhibition and accompanying exhibition catalogue that considers the historical circumstances, style, function, or creation and development of the objects chosen for analysis. Topicsthemes will be tied to something experienced during the course of the trip, whether during group visits or viewed independently. Option 2 Inside Cuba Artist Bookunder the guidance of Prof. Elizabeth Mackie Students will collect visual information clippings from newspapers and magazines, flyers, advertising brochures or posters, packaging and the like to incorporate into a final project an artist book. Without access to the Internet or social media on the island, they will learn to harness the power of personal observation and to develop creative means of documenting their experiences. Students will select a theme for investigation, record and annotate their observations using a variety of mediums and methods for examp

le, drawing, painting, and photography, and weave them into a nontraditional book that will be created after their return and exhibited in the student gallery spaces of the AIMM building sometime during February 2015. Option 3 Photography, Video, and the Artist as Autoethnographerunder the guidance of Prof. Anita Allyn What distinguishes the experience of the familiar environment from that of the profoundly unfamiliar? How do images associated with these experiences change as our roles shift from insider to outsider? How do we see ourselves as we perform in these distinctly different roles? How does documentation of our experiences alter our perceptions of ourselves? These questions will provide a backdrop for students reflections as they experiment with autobiographical ethnography using photography and video. They will serve as a foundation for student explorations that will culminate in photoessays or films created after their return, to be exhibited in the student gallery spaces of the AIMM building some

time in February 2015. The course is AAH262 Landmarks Art and Culture of Cuba. It meets the Liberal Learning requirement for LVPA with the possibility of genderbycontract or raceethnicitybycontract. Specific studio art requirements may also be met with approval by Professor Allyn or Professor Mackie. Important Things and Dates to be aware of This is an extraordinary opportunity as U.S. citizens are not allowed to travel freely to Cuba, that is, without special VISAS. The absolute deadline for completing the application for this program is OCTOBER 8TH. NO applications will be accepted after that date because of the processing time for governmentissued visas. Interested students MUST ATTEND ONE of these two scheduled information sessions Tuesday, September 9th at 7pm in AIMM 230 or Tuesday, September 16th at 1230pm in AIMM 230. The pricing for the CubaMiami studyabroad program is 4,714.16 Included TCNJ tuition and fees; airfare between Miami and Havana; bedbreakfast, and most dinners in casas particulares and h

otels; all ground transportation, entrance tickets to courserelated cultural events. Not included Airfare to Miami and most lunches. Note program costs are the same for instate and outofstate students. Please see the Center for Global Engagement page for more details httpscge.tcnj.eduwinter2015cuba We look forward to exploring this dynamic and unique travelstudy opportunity with you.

Now Open! New Braunfels at Creekside Downtown San Antonio at the Methodist Metropolitan Hospital Regenerative Cellular Therapies Peripheral Nerve Stimulation NALU The 13 Best Foods for Arthritis that Reduce Inflammation and Relieve Joint Pain Apr 24, 2020 Arthritis, Osteoarthritis Inflammation is a natural immune response from our bodies to infection or injury. Its your bodys way of telling white blood cells to gather in that area and repair your body. However, inflammation can do more harm than good if the immune response lasts too long chronic inflammation or begins to attack healthy cells autoimmune disease. Such is the case for certain types of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis, and lupus. Luckily, you have many treatment options to help manage your symptoms. And as you can probably tell by the title of this article, managing your diet is actually a major factor in reducing arthritis symptoms like inflammation and joint pain. Think of it this way Diet p

lays a major role in preventing conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Reducing the intake of red meats, salts, and saturated fats can prevent plaque buildup in your heart, while limiting your sugar intake can prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. You have similar options for your arthritis pain. The key is to pick foods that contain chemicals known to reduce inflammation in our bodies. Here are the 13 best foods to help with that. 1. Nightshade Vegetables When you hear the word nightshade, the first thing that comes to mind is probably that its poisonous. However, youre probably thinking of one single variety of nightshade, the atropa belladonna, which has historically been used as a narcotic and hallucinogen. And while yes that is one species of nightshade the friendly potato is a product of nightshade, too. In reality, there are more than 2,000 species in the nightshade or solanaceae family, and several of them can be found in your grocery stores produce section. These include These vegetables are l

oaded with nutrition. One bell pepper contains approximately three times as much vitamin C than an orange. Another nightshade, the humble tomato, contains lycopene, a carotenoid shown to be associated with a decreased risk for chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease. Some information reports that these vegetables enhance inflammation since they do contain trace amounts of solanine, which has proinflammatory properties in some people. However, there has been no scientific research showing such a reaction. Eat your vegetables. Its a good thing. 2. Extra Virgin Olive Oil Speaking of good things, olive oil contains lots of benefits for your arthritis. One of those is omega3 fatty acids, which has shown to reduce inflammation and improve joint pain. Besides omega3 and omega6s, olive oil is also rich in vitamins E and K, antioxidants, and oleocanthal, all of which share similar properties with ibuprofen and other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs NSAIDs. The best and only kind of olive oil to buy is extra

virgin olive oil. Not only is extra virgin the least refined and considered the healthiest kind, but it just tastes the best. Besides being rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, cruciferous vegetables contain a compound called sulforaphane, which has been associated with decreased inflammation. Common cruciferous vegetables include Whether you believe a head of cauliflower can reduce the inflammation in your knees, you cant deny that these vegetables are good for you in general  not just because you have arthritis. 4. Dark Leafy Greens The same can be said for dark leafy greens, which include These vegetables hardly need an explanation as to why theyre good for you. In terms of arthritis, dark green, leafy vegetables are high in vitamins K, A, and C, as well as antioxidants and polyphenols, a chemical that protects the body from inflammation. 5. Coffee Coffee also contains high levels of polyphenols. Not only are polyphenols known to decrease inflammation, but some studies show they also help with dige

stion and weight management. Who knew that drinking your morning coffee could help relieve some of your arthritis symptoms? 6. Green Tea Another polyphenolrich beverage, green tea also has antiinflammatory effects. Even more, it contains epigallocatechin3gallate, a special type of polyphenol that may inhibit the activation of inflammation in the body in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Nuts contain high amounts of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, both of which are healthy fats not saturated fats. They can also reduce the risk of diseases, such as cardiovascular disease. Moreover, they contain those antiinflammatory omega3s youre looking for. Like olive oil, the type of nuts you choose is important. Go for raw, unsalted nuts to minimize your salt intake, as too much salt may result in even more inflammation if not properly managed. Also, because nuts are high in calories, this is one food you should watch your proportions. 8. Fatty Fish Fatty, oily fish are loaded with omega3s as well as a host of

other vitamins and minerals, which you may not get if you just take fish oil i.e. a common alternative to fatty fish. We recommend you eat fish at least once a week, but you should choose types that are relatively low in mercury, such as Skipjack and tongol tuna 9. Fruits Berries The key here is to look for fruits with high levels of antioxidants, carotenoids and vitamins. In other words Eat a bunch of berries. Not only are they high in vitamin C, but they also have many other antioxidants and carotenoids that can protect you against free radicals. These fruits are easily available at your local grocery store 10. Ginger In several studies, ginger has shown to have similar antiinflammatory properties to COX2 inhibitors, a class of NSAIDs that includes ibuprofen. If you go this route, ginger oils and ginger extract have the most antiinflammatory effects. 11. Turmeric Curcumin Turmeric is the spice that gives Indian yellow curries their beautiful yellow hue. This bright color is due to the chemical curcumin, a

powerful antioxidant that has shown to block 5LOX and COX2, both of which are proinflammatory enzymes. But the twist is that turmeric only offers a tiny fraction of that active ingredient. Thus, while theres nothing wrong with eating more yellow curry, you should instead take curcumin extract, which is a more potent dose of the active ingredient in turmeric. 12. Beans If you have Creactive protein CRP levels, it could be an indication of rheumatoid arthritis. Beans could help lower CRP levels in the body as well as provide you with antioxidants, phytochemicals and fiber. Good sources of these include 13. Chia Seeds Flaxseed Perhaps the ultimate sleeper foods on this list, chia seeds and flaxseed both contain alphalinolenic acid ALA, one of the three types of omega3s. The best thing is theyre so easy to incorporate into your diet. Chia seeds can go in your granola, smoothie, yogurt even in a glass of water. These tiny, crunchy seeds are so versatile, you can put them in anything, and theyll taste good. Its

such an easy way to get your omega3s! Flaxseed is best consumed via flaxseed oil. It has shown to have the highest amount of ALA, and you can simply put a few drops in your smoothie or bowl of yogurt in the morning. You could also stir it into pancake batter or drop it into your coffee. The skys the limit for where you can add these two items. Now, that was a lot of information and a lot of food. Its important to remember that symptom relief for arthritis is a journey not a destination. Theres no silver bullet to solve your condition, no one magic solution. Instead, taking a bunch of small steps like incorporating these foods into your diet can go a long way in terms of relieving your symptoms. Finally, before you start chugging olive oil and stocking up on tuna tins, you should consult with your arthritis specialist andor your doctor before taking any new dietary supplements to make sure they align with your specific condition.

Are Mental Health Issues Associated With A Higher Likelihood Of Divorce? Yes, according to research from The Nat

ional Library of Medicine, married individuals with higher levels of distress, alcohol use, or psychiatric disorders are more likely to divorce. The study data examined a wide range of mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and posttraumatic stress, while also examining substance use disorders. A Frontiers Psychology study confirms a similar association, suggesting that, divorcees report poorer physical and mental health and more symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression and social isolation than the general population. Why Are Those With Mental Health Problems More Likely To Get Divorced? Research from BMC Public Health points to key factors such as social selection and social causation In social selection it is assumed that mental distress leads to divorce and that mentally distressed people are thus selected out of marriage. Social causation posits that divorce leads to mental distress due to the stresses of the transition into divorce and the new status as divorcee. While i

t is important not to stigmatise or to stereotype, there are many reasons why mental health problems can create issues in relationships, depending on the condition and the symptoms. Here are a few examples Those with depression can experience a range of symptoms, including feelings of hopelessness and unhappiness, insomnia, and anxiety. They may withdraw from their loved ones and lose interest in activities. People with severe depression may experience suicidal thoughts, requiring ongoing interventions to keep them safe and improve their health. It can be tremendously difficult to support a partner with depression. The spouse may find that they are taking on a care giver role, and feeling the strain. Naturally, the condition can cause much tension and distress in relationships. Many people with anxiety experience a consistent feeling of dread. They may have trouble controlling their worries, and experience panic attacks and trouble sleeping. It is likely that those with anxiety may also have some depressive s

ymptoms. This type of mental health disorder can affect ones emotions and ability to function daytoday. Consequently, relationships may be negativity effected. This disorder is characterised by depressive episodes and manic episodes. Both episodes can be mild to severe depending on the person. When in a depressive period, the individual may feel hopeless, empty or worthless. Manic episodes are instead defined by feeling elated, hyperactive, or selfimportant. When having a manic episode, the person may do impulsive things, act out of character, or experience delusions or illogical thoughts. For some people, the disorder can become allconsuming and make it difficult to maintain relationships. Having said this, many find that they can manage the condition well using medication. Suffering from addiction can cause extremely negative consequences in relationships. It can be a struggle whether you are experiencing addiction, or attempting to support a loved one with substance abuse issues. While substance issues can

occur as a standalone problem that harms relationships, it is also closely linked to mental health problems. Those who experience mental health issues are often likely to selfmedicate with alcohol or drugs. How Do Mental Health Issues Affect Divorce? If one partner has received a mental health diagnosis, this may have a direct impact on the divorce proceedings. For example, when the Courts are making decisions with regard to child living arrangements and financial settlements, they will take mental health issues and or substance misuse issues into consideration. Whether you are suffering from a mental health problem, or your expartner is, it is important that you access the support of a solicitor. Both parties will require independent and specialist legal advice to protect their interests, and the interests of their children. The Association Between Divorce And Mental Health As you can see, studies show that there is a correlation between mental health and divorce. Those who have mental health disorders ando

r substance misuse problems are more likely to get divorced compared to those who do not. Mental health conditions cause a wide variety of symptoms, and many of these can easily cause tension and even abuse in relationships. If you or your partner are experiencing mental health problems while going through a divorce, it is important that you access help. There are various forms of support available, including mental health services, therapy, support from loved ones, and divorce lawyers who can assist you throughout the divorce process.

Courts Politicization Could Harm American Democracy Both parties have politicized the court at the same time as they have come to rely on it to make hard decisions. Nick Ottens March 16, 2016 October 24, 2021 Supreme Court of the United States in Washington DC ShutterstockBrandon Bourdages Republicans refusal to even consider President Barack Obamas Supreme Court nominee reflects a much bigger problem in Americas relationship with its highest court. The president on Wednesday nominated Merrick Garland to fill the seat left vacant when Antonin Scalia died last month. Politico reports that Garland, who is now the top judge on the influential Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, is widely respected by Democrats and Republicans alike. Yet the Republican majority in the Senate has vowed to block whomever Obama nominates, insisting that the replacement of the conservative Scalia should be made by his successor next year. It is a blatant move to deny the outgoing president a chance to tilt the cour

t leftward. Its not as though the Democrats havent played politics with the Supreme Court in the past, but the rights refusal to even go through the motions and uphold some decorum is almost unprecedented. Judicialization Bloomberg View columnist Megan McArdle has argued that the reason replacing Supreme Court justices has become such a battle is that far too many Americans in both parties want to do an end run around the legislation process by getting unelected judges to declare their particular concerns beyond the reach of legislators. Why bother tediously lobbying senators and representatives when you can simply win the White House, appoint a few judges and get them to transform your most ardent desires into untouchable rights? This judicialization of American politics has several adverse effects. The first, McArdle argues, is that it needlessly federalizes issues. Consider gun rights. Should an advocate of more restrictive gun laws in Oregon care that they allow concealed carry in Oklahoma? Probably not,

but it becomes a problem when fanatics on both sides of the argument force it all the way up to the Supreme Court. A second problem, writes McArdle, is that by putting any issue beyond legislative debate, you leave a large number of Americans who are passionate on certain issues feeling like they have no democratic recourse. Its a recipe for extreme reactions, like voting for Donald Trump or worse. Thirdly, as The American Interest has pointed out, it threatens the perception of the court as a moreorless neutral arbiter. Philosopher kings The Supreme Court was never impartial, but it has so far been accepted by the vast majority of Americans as a fair and final authority on vexing issues. That could change if the court is reduced to an extension of party politics. At the same time, as a result of the partisan gridlock in Congress, the court is asked to rule on more and more issues. In other words, its possible to imagine a scenario where the court gradually hemorrhages legitimacy even as it accumulates more a

nd more power. Thats a dangerous combination for any institution, but especially for a judiciary that lacks the ability to enforce its will. At same point, Americans may decide that they are effectively ruled over by an illegitimate council of philosopher kings and start to defy its decisions. Justice Political Theory United States

Austin Salad DriveThru Baby Greens Is Closing Because It Doesnt Have Enough Employees If were at a point where 17 or 20 dollars an hour is not enough for a person to have a normal life, then what happens? owner Sharon Mays asks by Nadia Chaudhury Oct 3, 2022, 519pm CDT Share All sharing options for Austin Salad DriveThru Baby Greens Is Closing Because It Doesnt Have Enough Employees A salad from Baby Greens. Baby Greens Salad drivethru Baby Greens is closing this month. The last day of the 10611 Research Boulevard restaurant in the Gateway neighborhood will be on Friday, October 7. Owner Sharon Mays said she had to close her business because she no longer had enough employees to run the restaurant, as she explains in the Instagram video post announcement. Starting earlier this year, she said that she has been losing lots of employees because theyve been leaving Austin to live in comparatively more affordable cities and areas. Im literally having to turn down moneymaking opportunities because I do not have eno

ugh employees, Mays tells Eater. She was at the point where shes been toeing the fine line of staying just busy enough to operate with a small team and making enough money while not becoming too busy that she and her employees get overwhelmed. Mays notes that her starting wages are 17 an hour, has been recruiting nonstop, and offered signing bonuses. All of these things should be working on paper, but theres more to it than this, she says. Nobody is showing up. To make up for her small staff, shes been putting in 12 to 14hour days alongside her employees. But Baby Greenss higher wages didnt fix Mayss problem. If were at a point where 17 or 20 dollars an hour is not enough for a person to have a normal life, then what happens? she asks. Who do we become as a community and the industry? A post shared by Baby Greens eatbabygreens This staffing issue coupled with the increasing lack of affordable housing and the growing higher cost of living in the city are things that Mays believes the restaurant industry needs

to get more serious about. She doesnt understand how people can even start out in Austin without notcrazilypriced rents and homes and decentlypaying jobs. May reminisces about starting the original Baby Greens back in 2004, and how it was amazing to see all the restaurants, food trucks, and consumer packaged goods companies flourish in Austin. But I look at our industry now, and I wonder whats going to happen to everybody? she asks. She also asks, What does it mean for Black and brown kids who arent on college paths? noting that usually first jobs are all fastfood and fastcasual restaurant chains, but if they cant find jobs that help them afford and jumpstart their life, what will happen to them and those jobs and those restaurants? Mays first opened Baby Greens in 2004 and expanded with several locations throughout Austin, all of which closed in 2009. She revitalized her restaurant in 2016. Baby Greens will continue to honor catering jobs through the end of the year. Its current hours are from 11 a.m. to 7 p

.m. Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. 18 Truly Amazing Salads in Austin 15 Quintessential Austin DriveThrus 10611 Research Boulevard, , TX 78759 512 4946716 Visit Website
