Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

The inaugural cohort of the Construction Management Building Blocks mentor-protg program has graduated after completing eight weeks of training with industry professionals from the University of South Florida and Skanska, a multinational construction and development company. The program was launched to assist small and diverse subcontractors in the Tampa Bay Region to grow and become more successful in the construction industry and with competitive bidding processes.

Facilitated through the USF Office of Supplier Diversity, participants received free guidance in the fundamental areas of construction business management, with topics covering environmental health and safety, field management, human resources, marketing and business development, legal, project accounting, project planning and preconstruction, and sustainability. In addition to the weekly training sessions, they visited construction sites, developed their growth plans with help fromgraduate students at the USF Center for Entrepreneurship and networked with key decision makers within USF FacilitiesManagement and Skanskas greater Tampa Bay area operations.

Keith Ware, a U.S. Navy veteran, founded Secure2ware Inc.in 2005 with aspirations to serve the community by providing alternatives to the big blue security companies. Secure2ware Inc. offers residential and commercial establishments a wide range of low-voltage services, including alarm systems, surveillance cameras and home automation.Its sister company, S2W Security Guards, also provides guards on foot or mobile patrol to protect any property or event.

Its tremendous that Skanska and USF recognize that theres a need to look out for small, minority organizations, such as mine, Ware said. There can be some challenges achieving what we call the American Dream, and Im very thankful that theyve taken the time to reach back and help others.

Small businesses often learn as they go, and for Ware, project accounting was one of those growing pains. Not only did the mentor-protg program teach him the techniques and best practices he needed to improve his business, but he appreciated the added benefit of learning alongside a mentor. Ware said he also enjoyed the field trips to Skanskas construction sites. Protgs were able to see, on a larger scale, the planning that goes into bringing projects to life and how the crew adapts and overcomes challenges along the way.

The valuable knowledge that Ive gained through the mentorship program will be a great asset to me in order to take Secure2ware and S2W Security Guards to the next level, Ware said. Were hopeful that through these strategic partnerships, we are able to foster some better relationships throughout the community.

Darrick Fullwood Sr. has been passionate about construction and design ever since an architectural drafting class in middle school. In 2007, he founded AAA Restoration & Builders Team LLC to provide quality and cost-effective construction services ranging from remodels and repairs to complete renovations and additions.

I was ecstatic to be chosen for the mentor-protg program, Fullwood said. The training has given me the confidence to take on larger projects because the mentors taught us how to break projects down, not let the numbers overwhelm us and how to seek out the proper subcontractors to assist us.

Instead of seeing small construction companies as competition, Skanska opened their doors and shared the blueprint behind their processes and software to successfully go from bid to completion.

Fullwood has already scheduled a meeting with his project manager to review the program materials to make sure that everything he learned is implemented into AAAs business model. Thanks to this training, I know my company is going to grow, Fullwood said.

Having successfully completed the program, participants will receive a construction mentor from Skanska and a graduate student mentor from USFs Muma College of Business for up to six months to assist in streamlining administrative responsibilities. Participants will also be provided scholarships to the Profit Mastery Financial Management Program led by the colleges Small Business Development Center.

The 2021 cohort, recommended by the Hillsborough County NAACP, The St. Petersburg Collective, Prospera, the Womens Business Enterprise National Council and the Manasota Black Chamber of Commerce, included:

Moving forward, cohorts will be selected annually by community partners. In order to qualify, companies must be in the construction industry and in business for at least one year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 weekly training sessions were held virtually, but future cohorts will attend in person.

City Of Suisun City: Marina Village Apartments Notice Of Intent To Adopt A Mitigated Negative Declaration And Notice Of Public Hearing - Patch.com

Orange could be getting nearly 200 new hotel rooms and up to 150 new homes.

Those were among the items on the agenda for Tuesday night's Planning and Zoning Commission to consider.

ISHA Investments LLC is seeking a rezoning request so that it may build two or more hotels and a restaurant south of the Pilot Travel Center on Texas Route 62.

The owner, who also owns the Quality Inn and Suites in Bridge City, has told the city he already has a commitment from Marriott to build a Marriott Townplace Suites on the Route 62 site and is negotiating to also build a Hilton Home Suites property on the 8.5-acre tract.

That location is south of the intersection of 62 and Interstate 10, on the opposite side of Route 62 from the proposed Medical Center.

The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended City Council approve the land's rezoning and Council passed an ordinance doing just that on first reading.

"This is just more of an example of the growth the City of Orange is experiencing and I think it'll be a great addition for the city," Orange Planning Director Kelvin Knauf said.

Also Tuesday night, the P&Z considered a plat for J. Breaux Enterprises LLC to build Orange Gardens subdivision on 14.5 acres just west of the intersection of Route 62 and FM 105.

P&Z recommended to deny the preliminary plat because it did not meet the requirements for a new subdivision, several of which have to do with the architectural drawing, others include lots being 50 feet wide instead of the required 60 feet.

It is not uncommon for preliminary plats to be rejected.

As proposed, Phase 1 of that subdivision would include 75 homes, with 75 more homes to be built in Phase 2.

The subdivision would mostly lie in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Orange while some is in the city limits. It all must be annexed into the city.

As proposed, it would initially contract with Orangefield Water Supply Corporation for water and sewer systems but would transition to City of Orange services when they are extended to that area.

The city currently has plans to bring water and sewer lines to the Chevron property at Texas 87 and 105, west of the Orange Gardens location if Chevron Phillips Chemical decides to construct a plant on the land between the county airport and Chemical Row.

The Orange City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission held a joint meeting Tuesday night.

Among other business to be considered was an ordinance that would restrict recreational vehicle parks, as well as campgrounds, within city limits to property located on Highway 62.

Much of the growth plans are because of anticipated projects by Chevron Phillips Chemical and Entergy Texas that could bring as many as 17,000 temporary workers to the area. The workers, however, would not all be in the area at the same time.

Some of the workers will look to live close to the jobsites. Others will choose to commute.

"People have vacant lots in the heart of the city and want to put up an RV park. That's not allowed," Knauf said.

"We're also expecting someone will put up worker camps. We're trying to anticipate future growth."

Paperwork turned in to the city with the rezoning request by ISHA Investment LLC include a map of the property with as many as three hotel sites noted. Each could be as tall as five stories.

One of the sites is listed for 110 keys (rooms), the other two for 80 keys (rooms) each.

There is not one but two 8,750-square feet structures marked "Restaurant/Commercial."

Information included calls for "Total Planned Buildout" of 169,000 square feet.

The Orange Gardens development plat shows mostly lots of 50 feet by 120 feet, with notes estimating each home to be valued at $200,000.

Multiply that by 75 homes and the estimated tax base for Phase One is $15 million.

As the daylight hours get shorter and the cold weather blows in, some people begin to feel the winter blues.

As the daylight hours get shorter and the cold weather blows in, some people begin to feel the winter blues. For some individuals, these feelings can become overwhelming and have a detrimental impact on daily living.

Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, is a form of depression directly tied to the seasonality of weather and daylight changes. Symptoms normally begin when the weather turns colder and daylight decreases in the late fall or early winter and begins to lift when daylight increases and the weather turns warmer in the spring.

Though its very uncommon, some individuals experience the symptoms of SAD during the summer months.

[READ: Is My Depression Getting Worse?]

Who Gets SAD?

According to the American Psychiatric Association, seasonal affective disorder impacts around 5% of adults in the United States, affecting more women than men. ( Children can be affected by SAD too.) It can last around 40% of the year, typically being the most challenging in January and February.

Seasonal affective disorder has been linked to a biochemical imbalance in the brain, and people experience a shift in their internal clock, or circadian rhythm, that then causes them to be off-schedule with their daily life, according to Dr. Krystal Lewis, a clinical psychologist with the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Maryland.

Other risk factors include:

Genetics. As with other forms of depression, experts believe that family history may play a role. People with SAD may be more likely to have relatives with SAD or a family history of depression or bipolar disorder.

Geography. Those living in colder climates to the north or south of the equator have a greater chance of experiencing SAD. This is due to less daytime light during the winter months.

[READ: Foods and Activities to Fight SAD.]

SAD Symptoms

When the weather starts changing, keep a close eye on a change in symptoms.

Episodes of depression seasonal or not are diagnosed by the presence of significant sad mood or loss of interest or pleasure most of the day for at least two weeks, plus at least four other symptoms that persist during the same time frame and include significant disruptions in sleep, energy and appetite, says Dr. James Murrough, associate professor of psychiatry and neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.

SAD may include some of these signs and symptoms:

Changes in appetite resulting in either gaining or losing weight.

Depression most of the day, nearly every day.

Feeling lethargic or agitated.

Feeling hopeless or worthless.

Having difficulty concentrating or making decisions.

Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed.

Sleep pattern changes, usually sleeping too much.

Social withdrawal.

Thoughts of suicide or death.

Diagnosing SAD

Like many mental health disorders, there is no blood test or brain scan that can detect SAD. Instead, like all forms of depression, SAD is diagnosed through a series of questions collected through a patient questionnaire. There are two tools the Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire (SPAQ) and the Seasonal Health Questionnaire (SHQ) that are widely used.

The SHQ was developed to be more sensitive and specific to identify symptoms of SAD. One study published in the journal BMJ found that the questionnaire was easily completed by patients and that it more precisely diagnosed SAD. This newer tool is a step forward in helping to better diagnose people with SAD, Lewis says.

Treating SAD

There are several different approaches to treating SAD. The mainstays of current SAD treatments include:

Antidepressants.

Bright light therapy.

Cognitive behavioral therapy.

Exercise.

Healthy sleep hygiene.

As all three treatment options can take time to work, beginning your treatment plan proactively in early fall can be very effective in preventing the symptoms from occurring in patients that have a clear history of seasonal onset depression.

Research has demonstrated that people can see improvements after just one week of light treatment, but it is recommended that the treatment be continued throughout the season, beginning in the fall, Lewis says.

These options are typically used to treat SAD:

Antidepressant Medications All types of depression, including SAD, are associated with changes in serotonin and other neurotransmitters. Your doctor may recommend using a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant or a different type of antidepressant called bupropion as part of your treatment plan.

Keep in mind that most antidepressants take a few weeks for the full benefits to begin, and it may be necessary to try more than one to find out which is best for you. Any side effects should be reported to your doctor and used to evaluate if a medication is right for your treatment plan.

Bright Light Therapy Bright light therapy, also called phototherapy, has shown to be very effective for people dealing with SAD and is usually considered the first line of treatment. The decline in sunlight during the winter months can cause a drop in serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, which can contribute to depression.

According to Murrough, while the reason why bright light therapy is effective for SAD is not fully known, several randomized trials have provided support for its effectiveness. It is thought to help correct a misalignment between the sleep cycle and circadian rhythms in the body that is believed to contribute to the cause of SAD.

Bright light therapy is typically done in the morning soon after waking. It involves sitting in front of a bright light therapy lamp (10,000 lux), which is about 20 times brighter than normal indoor lighting for anywhere between 20 to 45 minutes. A quality therapy lamp typically can be found for under $50, and a quick search online will yield many options.

Its purpose is to mimic the effects that sunlight has on your body, which results in chemical changes in the brain boosting your mood. There is no need to worry about skin-damaging UV light as these therapy lamps filter it out. Talk to your doctor before using one as certain eye diseases or medications that increase light sensitivity need to be taken into consideration when deciding if this is the right treatment option for you.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Commonly referred to as talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy aims to improve mental health by focusing on challenging and changing negative thoughts and behaviors, improving emotional regulation and developing personal coping strategies.

Behavioral activation, a specific and important CBT skill, is a highly effective strategy for treating symptoms of depression. It encourages people to engage in pleasurable activities, even when one feels they dont have the energy or desire to do so. It helps to break the cycle of low mood and energy, Lewis says.

Exercise Exercising regularly will help provide your body with energy as well as a mood boost throughout the day. Bonus points for any physical activity outside, especially mid-day when the sun is at its highest, as more time outdoors can help supplement the natural decrease in sun exposure that occurs as winter progresses.

As daylight decreases and the cold weather increases, its a natural instinct to want to spend more time indoors with less physical activity and social interaction. Pushing back against that instinct is important however, as interacting with others and getting out of the house to do things you enjoy are both critical to mental health.

Healthy Sleep Hygiene For individuals who are prone to SAD, making sleep a priority both falling asleep and waking up at the same time every day is critical.

Ensure you are getting enough rest but not oversleeping and that you are eating foods that provide good nutrition, like foods with vitamin D, Lewis says. There is an association between vitamin D and serotonin activity. Due to the decrease in serotonin that can occur during seasonal transitions, it is important to increase foods with vitamin D and engage in activities that will help raise serotonin levels.

Customers who have held out for the fifth-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV canexpect to pay almost $2,000 more from the starting price of the 2021 model.

The U.S. manufacturer's suggested retail price for thebase Laredo trim of Stellantis NV's best-selling SUV is $37,390 compared withthe '21 model's $35,460 starting price. The pricing on the '22 two-row redesign doesn't include$1,795 in destination fees. The vehicle is setto launch before the end of the yearat the new Mack Assembly Plant in Detroit.

The jump in cost for the SUV comes as the auto industry battles through a global microchip shortage and inflationon raw material prices. Because of the shortage, dealer stocks are low, which has increased prices as supply doesn't meet demand. The average U.S. transaction pricefor Stellantis vehicles in the third quarter was$48,867, up 14% year-over-year, according to Edmunds.com Inc.

The '22 Grand Cherokee lineup includes sixtrims. The Laredo 4x4 modelstarts at $39,390. The Limited at$43,710 adds some premium features like leather seats, heated steering wheel and seats and a new power liftgate.

The exclusively 4x4 Trailhawk model starts at$51,275, and the Overland model sits at $53,305 with premium navigation, teak interior trim and new ambient interior lighting.

Summitstarts at$57,365 and adds additional safety features such as Active Driving Assist, drowsy driverdetection and a 360-degree surround view camera. Summit Reserve, which comes exclusively with 4x4, starts at $63,365 with leather and wood interior, 21-inch wheels and a 950-watt, 19-speaker McIntosh audio sound system.

The '22 model also adds a plug-in hybrid 4xe option, which is set to go on sale in early 2022. Pricing for that will be shared at a later date.
