A Brooklyn psychiatrist has launched an innovative clinic offering a new approach to psychiatric therapy. Their board-certified psychiatrist is adding in yoga and other holistic healing therapies to her practice, offering a tailored treatment approach that includes a custom medication care plan if needed, but incorporates a longer-term plan to go beyond medicine.

‍

"Healing is a challenging process that ultimately is very rewarding for our patients," Dr. Chohan says. "You are changing behaviors and patterns that are ingrained. The key is to trust the process and believe in the empowerment you will gain from this life changing journey. "

‍

Dr. Chohan offers a personalized approach to psychiatry, combining techniques that offer holistic healing in a more meaningful way for her clients. At Healizm, she offers psychiatry and psychotherapy services for those struggling with stress or trauma from events like a major life transition, grief, depression, anxiety, and sleep issues.

‍

"I have always had a passion for helping my patients heal through multiple modalities," says Dr. Nahil Chohan, a board-certified psychiatrist and founder of Healizm. "Our customized treatment includes not just medication recommendations, but long-term holistic therapy that helps you maintain your mental health and improve your quality of life."

‍

At Healizm, the team's philosophy is long term healing can come from a holistic approach, by using traditional and alternative healing methods in an innovative way. The combination offers the best of both worlds and allows for the perfect treatment plan.

‍

When someone is looking to begin psychiatry services, Dr. Chohan develops a personalized approach where the patient has full autonomy in their choice of treatment or medication. With the ultimate goal being long-term stabilization and a more fulfilling life, Dr. Chohan and her team at Healizm help each patient to discover their own path to health and wellness.

They say that behind every great man, there is a great woman. Well, in the case of Key To Life this couldn't be more true. Kelly Dooley is COO of Key To Life, but this title doesn't even come close to describing her role in the company. Alongside her husband, Tate Dooley, Kelly is also the co-founder and co-owner of Key To Life. Kelly is responsible for most of the inner workings of the company, being a driving force within every sector of the company's operations. From logistics, to order processing, to creating every single piece of marketing material the company releases, to composing and releasing our newsletters, to product purchasing, to building and maintaining the website, to handling HR and inter-company relations, and everything in between. The company's success is directly related to her efforts, and this is evident every single day. Plain and simple, the company could not function without Kelly!!

‍

Key To Life's marketing is top notch in the industry. It's clean, it's eye-catching, it's informative and it's cohesive. Typically, marketing is handled by someone who went to college specifically for marketing. Generally informational sheets and handouts are pretty typical for this reason. There are simple headlines, a few pictures and lots of text. Not at KTL. Kelly takes Key To Life's marketing to the next level. Not only is it clean and easy to follow, but every new piece of marketing material seems somehow to be better than the last! Kelly continues to find new and inventive ways to make common things seem exciting, and the mundane details seem exclusive!! Take something like hemp material separation. In a nutshell, it's a pretty straightforward process by which desirable hemp material is separated from undesirable material. Kelly completely turned it on its head and went Super Hero with it, turning it into The Incredible Bulk separation process! Now it's something exciting and eye opening to the industry and swiftly becoming an industry standard.

‍

Content generation and release is, once again, generally relegated to people with writing backgrounds; people who majored in English or creative writing in college. At Key To Life, this is just another role Kelly has masterfully taken on. She is responsible for not only editing, but oftentimes writing the weekly newsletter, and even designing our states regulatory labeling. And on top of that, she helps mold and present it in new and exciting ways! Key To Life's newsletters cover everything from exclusive deals to educational knowledge drops to promotional content describing upcoming events. Kelly makes all this not only palatable, but she makes it interesting and eye-catching.

‍

Creating and maintaining a website can oftentimes be a complicated and frustrating endeavor. People can go to college for years just to be able to write the code necessary to create a functioning website that doesn't crash or isn't so user UNfriendly that people lose interest immediately and move on. Not only has Kelly helped create the website for Key To Life, she also is responsible for adding new products on a nearly daily basis as well as coordinating with the logistical partners AND the financial partners to ensure that it is functional. She taught herself how to embed items in the website and place content strategically so that as it continually changes, the company can maintain functionality and efficiency!

‍

The extreme levels of executive knowledge that she has learned riding the roller coaster throughout the years is absolutely incredible. You often hear Kelly say "I graduated with a art and graphic design degree, How did I end up doing the numbers?". You will find upon further analysis of the spreadsheets of numbers, triple tier pricing, business plan projections & contracts she helps form, you will notice the extreme level of detail and thought that goes into everything that she accomplishes. She will not tell you but she often outperforms highly experienced CPA's, accountants, CFOs and many people with business specific degrees in their specific category. Somehow she knows how to do it all! Learning how to ride the rollercoaster of business in real life is more valuable than any degree you could ever have and Kelly has proven that time and time again!

‍

To top it all off, she is an incredible mother of two wonderful children and an amazing wife to Tate Dooley. She is able to not only assist with at-home learning with her kids, but somehow continues to get major things accomplished on a day to day basis with the company, while juggling a million things. Not only does she do this, but she continues to maintain a positive attitude throughout! Every morning at the daily company meetings, employees get to see Kelly's smiling face telling them "good morning" and starting the day off in a positive way. Kelly is truly an inspiration, self taught business guru, great example of a working leader, highly experienced and well deserved of her official company title - Queen Bee! Be on the look out for this business mogul, Kelly Dooley, and where she takes Key To Life Supply in the future!

There has never been a better time to grow organic, and Key To Life Supply has the answers! Traditionally farmers chose to grow with synthetic (chemically-based) fertilizers mainly due to lower input costs. However, the tables are turning; this year, in 2022, synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides have skyrocketed in price! According to worldbank.org, "synthetic fertilizers are now at their least affordable levels since the 2008 global food crisis". Synthetic fertilizers prices "have risen nearly 30% since the start of 2022, following last year's 80% surge." Supply chain shortages and rises in wages, fuel and logistics costs are all behind this market shift. It is no surprise then that organic farming is finally seeing the full light of day and is now highly cost-competitive against its synthetic fertilizer counterpart! These pricing surges give organic farmers a competitive edge to grow organic produce at a competitive cost.

‍

So why is produce at the grocery store continuing to increase in price? Shipping and handling. Logistics is one of the most significant expenses that any farmer faces when getting their crop from their farm to the grocery store. Also, the logistics it takes to process and harvest large amounts of produce on any given farm heavily relies upon fuel prices and labor wages. Another factor that has kept farmers from switching from synthetic fertilizers to organic fertilizers is a short timeline mindset. For instance, when working with many farmers, we found that most were only leasing the land they grew on. With real estate prices rapidly rising, we see more costly lease rates for available land and farmers acquiring larger parcels. Owning their land is an absolute game-changer that will help farmers focus on long-term regenerative farming practices, with a significant emphasis on building soil quality to have healthier plants the following year with fewer pests and diseases. With increased pride in their land, farmers are also focusing on water conservation and maximizing their plant's health based on the genetic potential of each plant variety.

‍

So, other than saving some money, you may ask, what's so great about going organic? Studies have shown that organic foods often have more beneficial nutrients, such as antioxidants, than their synthetically-grown counterparts. The difference is particularly dramatic in produce. For example, tomatoes grown using organic methods can contain up to 50% more vitamin C than conventionally-grown varieties. Furthermore, organic food tends to taste better; the extra flavor comes from what's left out: synthetic chemicals. Also, going organic helps us look after our soil and environment. Even if you don't buy into the many published health benefits, there's no denying that going organic will now save you money.

‍

Suppose you are like many other home gardeners. In that case, you may have considered growing an organic garden before but decided it was too expensive or too complicated or that there were not enough resources available to help you do it. Now, those reasons no longer hold water!

‍

Sometimes, food can seem less important or even taken for granted in our highly connected and convenient lives. Taking charge of your food production and starting a backyard garden means freedom from waiting in line at crowded grocery stores only to find that they are out of milk or eggs or - perish the thought - even just simple foods like potatoes or apples. Taking your food production back into your own hands allows you to free yourself of the supply chain shortages at the grocery stores, skyrocketing prices, and chemically fertilized and nutrient-deficient foods. Reignite the connection with your food and the planet while building memories with a bountiful reward, such as delicious organically grown food in varieties you and your family may never have tried before.

‍

Come learn with the Key To Life Supply family how to grow your own organic food! We can help you reduce costs and ensure you have access to the healthiest food for you and your family.

Propel Center, in commemoration of Black Music Month, joined with five of Propel's institutional partners to successfully launch the first of the three-part C3 Series, an executive music industry pipeline program to promote music entrepreneurship in tech.

‍

The accelerator series, the acronym of which stands for Create, Collaborate and Connect, will work to increase the leadership pipeline in today's music industry for HBCU students and young people of color with the aim of fulfilling these three ambitions by providing participants with an all-access pass to learn directly from some of the music industry's greatest minds, executives and tastemakers.

‍

The limited C3 Series will run through March 2023, with the program mission to ensure that the pipeline of diverse leadership reaches and includes HBCU talent, while fast-tracking the next generation of executive leaders in music marketing, music public relations, tech and production. The inaugural participants, which included more than 60 students convened in master classes hosted at Clark Atlanta University, hailed from Bethune-Cookman University, Jackson State University, Clark Atlanta University, Edward Waters University and Bishop State Community College.

‍

As part of C3's project-based, learning focused curriculum, each of the students were tasked with presenting a potential new artist to the consumer market by curating the needed music assets, and then working to implement a tailored marking and communications campaign. The program, funded by the Industry Impact Grants made available to eligible Propel Center HBCU member institutions, is co-facilitated by respected executives, Steve Higgs, COO, Preach Records/Ingrooves and head of A&R, and Cortez Bryant, co-CEO of the management firm Blueprint Group and adjunct professor at his alma mater, Jackson State University.

‍

Guest speakers for the Black Music Month master class roll-out included Bryant and Higgs, Shawn Gee, partner/president at Live Nation Urban, Gee Roberson, co-CEO at Blueprint Group, Tuo Clark, SVP of A&R at Def Jam, Josh Raiford of Pandora/Sirius XM, Grammy Award-Winning producer Drummaboy, Dominique Simpson, CEO of CMPR, Inc. and music-producer Fresh Ayr.

‍

"The new C3 Series program is just another example of the innovative, empowering work that's happening at Propel," said Dr. Charles J. Gibbs, president, Propel Center HBCU Consortium. "As we look to continue to provide our students with a pathway to help shape the future of the music industry, it's imperative that we expose them to the limitless executive opportunities beyond artist careers," he added.

‍

"There are countless more possibilities—and a greater likelihood of achieving success—in the many roles that exist to display talent behind the scenes making things happen in music, and through this accelerator platform we're training our students to be the best prepared and ready to step into those roles."

‍

"The Bethune-Cookman University Music Mogul project created at C3 with the Propel grant is proving to be a successful experiential learning program for our students who are participating in this unique pilot project," stated professor Sylvester Polk of BCU. "Our students are enjoying their experience and the wealth of knowledge that is being provided to them," he continued. "They had a rare chance to experience real-world industry operations, were in recording studios and attended master classes with seasoned industry professionals. This has been a necessary and vital complement to what we are doing in the classroom."

‍

"There is a real need for developmental programs within the music business. I'm so thankful that Propel stepped up to the plate to lend the resources to attack that problem," emphasized industry partner Cortez Bryant. Concluded fellow industry partner Steve Higgs: "This program is the solution to equity and inclusion in executives' spaces within the music industry. HBCU students deserve innovative programs such as this, to ensure career readiness."

Zabon Ramen, a unique ramen restaurant originated in Japan, announced today it will open a second location in Anaheim, California in the Anaheim Packing District. The first Zabon Ramen opened in Torrance, California in 2016 and has quickly become one of the most popular ramen spots in Southern California.

‍

Zabon Ramen originates from Kagoshima-Prefecture in Kyushu Island. The unique blend of Pork (Tonkotsu) and Chicken broth together with soy sauce topped with generous amounts of vegetables and chashu meat makes Zabon a unique and fulfilling ramen bowl loved by many ramen connoisseurs.

‍

"I want to make delicious ramen noodles," shared founder Tetsuro Ishino.

‍

It was this single-minded aspiration that led the founder of Zabon Ramen in Japan, to open his first store in Shinjuku, Tokyo in 1978. It became an iconic stop for the late-night crowd after opening a store in the Roppongi which is a popular district in Tokyo for the night scene.

‍

Fast forward to 2022, and the flagship Torrance store serves the original and authentic Zabon Ramen while introducing other popular menu items such as Miso Spicy Ramen, Vegan Ramen offerings, and appetizer items to meet the market demand while maintaining the authenticity of Japanese food culture. The new location in Anaheim will also offer sushi rolls offering a variety of Japanese food delicacies for every palate.

‍

Co-founder, Tatsuya Yabuuchi states, "As we have carefully prepared ourselves to expand our presence here in the U.S., we have always considered Orange County to be the ideal second-store location and we feel that the Anaheim Packing District would be a perfect place for our expansion plan."

"The assault on the mental well-being of our communities reflect the disproportionate physical, emotional, and financial impacts the COVID-19 pandemic has had on Hispanic communities," said Jane L. Delgado, PhD, MS, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, the Nation's leading Hispanic health advocacy group. To underscore the needs and to mark the start of National Minority Mental Health Month (July 2022), the National Alliance for Hispanic Health released a series of infographics to highlight the crisis that exists among Hispanic high school students as well as for Hispanic adults.

‍

According to findings released in the infographics, nearly 1 in 5 Hispanic high school students (19.7%) seriously considered suicide and nearly half (46.6%) reported persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness in 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed a decade-long trend of students' declining mental health into a national emergency. The mental health challenges faced by students today are alarming and demand urgent action."

‍

The data for adults is also concerning. The data from June 2020 revealed that Hispanic adults were the community most likely to report at least one adverse mental health condition, including anxiety disorder or depressive disorder. Moreover, Hispanics were the group most likely to have considered suicide. Furthermore, treatment rates for Hispanic individuals living with a mental illness are alarmingly low. In 2020, only about a third of Hispanic adults with a mental illness received treatment, compared to nearly half of all non-Hispanic individuals.

‍

"Our families and children are hurting. They are suffering in the silence which ignores their cries. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts call 988 to contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or call in Spanish at 1-888-628-9454 or English at 1-800-273-8255. If you need information for mental health services in your area call the Alliance's bilingual Su Familia Health Helpline at 1-866-783-2645 for information." urged Dr. Delgado.

Rowan, the first clean beauty brand for dogs, today announced the launch of an innovative new collection of clean color products for dogs. The Rowan Color Kit includes three washable, non-staining color sticks and Rowan's luminous Coat Shimmer providing endless options for creative fun. Rowan co-founders Michelle Arnau and Sally Clarke worked with their in-house Clean Beauty Chemist and Veterinary Dermatologist to create dog-friendly color that pet parents wouldn't hesitate to use. Everything in the kit is made with non-toxic ingredients and formulated according to clean beauty standards using the Credo Clean Standard as their guide.

‍

"At Rowan we think a lot about unique ways to add joy to the experience of having a dog," said Rowan co-founder Michelle Arnau. "With fun in mind we used our clean beauty chemistry expertise to create non-toxic, washable, chic color pops for pups and their parents. Our color sticks dry quickly after application, so they stay on your pup, not your rug. They also wash off easily with pet-friendly shampoo (we recommend The Hair Wash or The Fur Wash, of course). Best of all, the color sticks are non-staining, so they won't leave any hues behind when washed."

‍

The brand has partnered with Jorge Bendersky, celebrity dog groomer and author of the best-selling book DIY Dog Grooming, to launch the collection. Bendersky says, "Rowan's new color for dogs allows your pooch to express their inner artistic selves, and get a little extra attention on the street, making heads turn, they love it. There is no excuse not to be glamorous."

‍

Taking inspiration from the world of sweet treats, the Rowan Color Collection consists of three bright candy colors including Heavy Petting Pink, Tailwag Teal and Pawsitively Purple. These complementary hues were made to flatter every type of dog coat. And since everything's better with sparkles, the kit includes the brand's signature coat shimmer, a coat creme made with dog-friendly Mica. The Rowan Color Kit is available via its Direct-to-Dog website and Neighborhood Goods stores nationwide retailing at $50.

‍

Rowan's care for pets and the planet doesn't stop with the ingredients inside. Rowan also believes deeply in the human/dog connection and the benefit pets have on one's mental and physical health. The brand's impact program supports organizations that work to keep people and their pets together.

It's 90 degrees with a million percent humidity. You're at the pool. Children are splashing, run-walking, and squealing. Tawny teenagers splay out on lounge chairs. And red-suited lifeguards twirl whistles around their fingers until … TWEET. It's the top of the hour. The start of the requisite hourly rest period.

‍

Kids, teens, and (let's be real) even the adults, scamper onto the concrete deck making a swift (no running!) beeline for the snack bar. That shanty little oasis full of sweet and salty snacks and frosty treasure chests of frozen treats—drumsticks, watermelon taffy, lemon ice, and bags of popcorn. You walk away, an ice cream bar in hand, taking a seat on the grass and reveling in the sugar high as the hot, intense sun dries your bathing suit.

‍

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams has bottled up this carefree, blissful moment—all that is good and perfect in a leisurely day spent poolside—in their latest collection, At the Pool. It's a series of five limited-edition flavors as chill as a cabana in the shade and as refreshing as diving into the deep end.

‍

What's on deck? Here's the lineup:

‍

• Watermelon Taffy ice cream. Refreshing and beautifully bouncy, it tastes like an uber creamy, tart candied watermelon. (Now available in shops and online.)
• Golden Nectar ice cream. Indescribable and deliriously delicious. Golden sweet cream that tastes like a chilled summer chai (minus the tea) with firecracker-like snaps of aerated toffee candy. (Dropping in shops and online 7/7.)
• Bombastix Sundae Cone ice cream. Double vanilla cream with gooey fudge and chocolate-covered waffle cone chunks. Will strike your nostalgia bone in all the good ways. (Dropping in shops and online 7/14.)
• Butterscotch Popcorn ice cream. Sun-popped popcorn ice cream with a butterscotch crunch. Think buttery popcorn with a sweet, caramelized kettle corn kick. (Dropping in shops and online 7/21.)
• Dairy-free Lemon Bar. Punchy lemon, shortbread crust, and rich coconut cream. It walks that fine tightrope between sweet and tart, soft and crisp. (Dropping in shops and online 7/28.)

‍

Available for nationwide shipping at jenis.com, at Jeni's scoop shops across the country and in select grocery stores, the five flavors of the At the Pool Collection are the scoopable fun we all deserve this summer.

The Sylvia Brafman Mental Health Center announced today the expansion of its treatment offerings with the acquisition of Through the Archway, a leading spiritual immersion program focused on treating addiction and alcoholism. Led by Mr. Peter Marinelli and his wife, Mrs. Marion Marinelli, the revamped Through the Archway program will complement Sylvia Brafman's core mental health curriculum.

‍

Sylvia Brafman is a premier mental health treatment center founded by behavioral health expert Mr. Ben Brafman and his former patient and investment banker Mr. Jaime Blaustein.

‍

Mr. Marinelli will serve as Executive Director of the new Through the Archway program within Sylvia Brafman pioneering a spiritually driven curriculum. In Through the Archway, patients with addictions engage in a rigorous process to bring about a shift in perceptions, outlooks and attitudes.

‍

"Peter Marinelli has a rare gift to offer those recovering from alcoholism and addiction, and we are beyond excited to incorporate that gift into our center," said CEO Jaime Blaustein. "That gift may only be surpassed by Marion's ability to connect with women who suffer likewise."

‍

Mr. Ben Brafman, Chief Clinical Officer, touted Mr. Marinelli's ability to "connect with people through the power of words, his tremendous conviction in a solution of recovery, and his proven track-record of helping to facilitate long-term sobriety."

‍

"Addiction is a mental illness," Brafman continued. "In addition to the clinical, medical, psychiatric and physical modalities we utilize, addiction requires an additional 'nuance' to one's overall treatment plan – a spiritual solution."

‍

Mr. Blaustein added that Sylvia Brafman's philosophy has been to "relentlessly attack mental illness from five different angles – clinical, spiritual, medical, physical, and psychiatric – then focus on those remedies to which each patient is responding most favorably. It is my belief that there is nobody better suited to attack the spiritual lane than Peter and Marion Marinelli."

‍

"This transaction is monumental for struggling patients and families in that it marries the great work we've done at Through the Archway with resources outside of the spiritual realm," Mr. Marinelli said.

‍

"The passion in my heart is helping people – both addicts and mentally ill – get to the root of what ails them in order to find love, connection and purpose," said Mrs. Marinelli. "Helping someone find hope, and then facilitating their entry into this new life, is what drives us."

‍

"When I got clean almost 9 years ago, listening to Peter's recorded talks online on how we recover was instrumental in my trajectory as a wholly fulfilled person," Blaustein said. "I feel so blessed that I have a small role in giving our patient's exposure to the same individual that was so critical in giving me a second chance at life."

When people are on-the-go and cannot find a public restroom when they need it, the Privy Pouch provides an easy solution. This small, portable urinal traps odor and won't leak. The Privy Pouch is an online shop based out of Houston product that has attachments that work for men or women. Ideal for life's little emergencies, the Privy Pouch is a discreet and convenient travel toilet.

‍

Not everyone has the same anatomy, which is why the Privy Pouch comes with attachments that work for men or women. Along with apparatuses designed to help all genders properly aim, the Privy Pouch also comes with wet wipes and pads for anyone who needs them.

‍

The reason a product like this has been largely absent from the marketplace is that portable toilets have, in the past, been known to leak. The Privy Pouch has anti-backflow valves that prevent this, so consumers can use it with confidence. Users can rest assured that they are not going to make a mess with the Privy Pouch.

‍

The other major concern with portable travel toilets is the odor they carry with them. The Privy Pouch is designed to trap odors so users transport it without worry. With this portable urinal, consumers will not have to worry about offending anyone with the smell.

‍

Along with anti-leak and odor-free technology, this portable travel toilet comes with a carrying case that is both discrete and stylish. The black and turquoise color scheme makes it look like a makeup bag or small clutch, so no one will be the wiser when users pull it out in a pinch. The carrying case is also small enough to fit in a book bag or shoulder bag or leave in a car's glove box or trunk.

‍

This small, portable urinal is the perfect response for when nature calls and people cannot find a restroom nearby. With the inclusion of necessary attachments for all genders, wet wipes, and pads, the Privy Pouch has these consumers covered in any situation. The Privy Pouch can be purchased for $19.99 or customers can buy the Privy Pouch Bundle for $24.99, which comes with 4 replacement bags. The pouch can be brought with consumers wherever they go without anyone being the wiser. The Privy Pouch is an easy and clean solution for when inconvenient circumstances arise.

Tank or tankless? It's a question that homeowners looking to purchase a new water heater can get hung up on – needlessly, as it turns out. They can just choose the Essency EXR, the world's first on-demand tank water heater. Sold by licensed plumbers and the nationwide network of Ferguson plumbing supply centers, the EXR combines the best of both tank and tankless operations in one powerful, practical and distinctive package.

‍

Acting as a thermal battery, heat from stored water in the EXR'55-gallon, polymer tank is transferred to incoming tap water as it passes through an oversized stainless steel heat exchanger. "The EXR has a proven 80-gallon first hour rating, a capacity rating greater than any other residential water heater in its class, tank or tankless," says Scott Isaksen, national sales director for Essency Water Heaters in Houston.

‍

"The EXR produces hot water enough to handle the daily multi-tasking cycle of bathing, dishwashing, clothes-washing and sundry other tasks, while never missing a beat in terms of temperature stability either," he adds.

‍

The EXR comes complete with built-in WiFi access and a grid-ready phone app for intelligent water usage management and on-board leak detection. Homeowners can use Smart Mode to manage water use efficiently and turbo-boost water output to a staggering 100-gallon FHR capacity. Put the water heater into Vacation Mode for extended absences, and lower water temperature in real time using the Water Saver function.

‍

Since the EXR uses industry standard plumbing and electrical connections, t's a drop-in installation as a replacement for an existing tank water heater or as a first-time install in a new home – and a sensible and cost-effective alternative to a tankless whole-house installation.

‍

The EXR is a great choice for a whole-house electric water heater system, says John Watts, a veteran Texas plumber and homeowner in who replaced his old tank water heater in his home with a new EXR. "I have a few teenagers in the house, and we were always running out of hot water" with the old heater, he explains. "I did my homework and found the EXR. It was a straightforward installation, and we haven't run out of hot water since – and believe me, as a plumber myself, I've put the system to the test." The development lacks gas line access, so the electric option was his only practical one for a water heater – and as the EXR fit right into the existing system, it was a no-brainer as far as he was concerned. "I'm very impressed with the unit," he says.
