Apply Right – Stress Free College Applications


Referred by Jens List member Pamtolan@cox.net


“We can’t recommend highly enough the college essay editing services of Audrey Davidow. Audrey worked diligently teaching my son to become a writer. She didn’t spoon feed him what to write, rather she listened and taught him how to fine tune and refine his writing style. It ended up becoming an essay that made us both laugh and cry and introduced us to a side of our son we never knew existed. He was accepted early at the University of his choice and enjoyed a stress free senior year!”

Your Jr. Chef can help make Italian Sfratti


It’s the nut-filled, stick-shaped cookie popular for Rosh Hashanah. Make and refrigerate the dough and cook the filling, and Your Jr. Chef can help roll, shape, assemble, cut, and brush egg wash. Bake, cool, enjoy. Comment suggests alternatively rolling dough thinly, spreading nut/citrus zest mixture (adding rose water/extra nuts), creating a jelly-roll shape, baking an additional 10 minutes, cutting into pieces. You need to practice making this cookie before the New Year, don’t you?? Parental supervision.

Power Morcellation
Recently, there has been an FDA investigation on one of the devices used for hysterectomies. The device is known as a “Power Morcellator” and its function is to cut the fibroid tissue into small pieces so it can easily be removed from the body. The FDA believes that the Power Morcellator can cause undetected cancer in women to spread in the pelvis and abdomen. On July 10 and 11, the FDA met to deliberate the possible dangers of using this device. Decisions on whether to discontinue the morcellation process is still being debated. Although the FDA has not come to a conclusion on the procedure, many are spreading word about the dangers the device can cause.
