6:23
Speaker 2: Is still relevant today.
6:25
Speaker 1: Giving the stern warning of every community which is torn
6:28
Speaker 1: by suspicions, the threat that is the most dangerous is
6:31
Speaker 1: sometimes the community itself. Within this production, the audience is
6:35
Speaker 1: placed in sixteen ninety two Salem, Massachusetts, where they see
6:39
Speaker 1: the outcome of a Puritan community and the possibility of
6:42
Speaker 1: witches in their presence. A handful of young girls, all
6:46
Speaker 1: ill with seemingly no earthly cause after being found dancing
6:50
Speaker 1: deep in the woods. Many of the Salem residents turn
6:53
Speaker 1: to suspense and believe there is possibly something more sinister afoot.
6:58
Speaker 1: Along the way of trying to recover for the health
7:00
Speaker 1: of these girls, many grudges turn violent, and different humiliating
7:04
Speaker 1: secrets become exposed.
7:06
Speaker 2: And run through the rumor melt.
7:08
Speaker 1: The need for rooting out witchcraft and evil energies becomes
7:11
Speaker 1: more prominent than the supposed evil itself. No one is
7:15
Speaker 1: safe when it comes to a crime with no physical evidence,
7:19

9:13
Speaker 1: Jane Distillery surprised guests with the announcement that the new
9:16
Speaker 1: distillery will be released in its first twelve hundred bottles
9:19
Speaker 1: of bourbon this week. The release is being called Big
9:23
Speaker 1: vat Liar and for good reason and a good fun.
9:26
Speaker 1: Since the early planning stages of Potter Jane. Founders Jenny Potter.
9:30
Speaker 2: And Jane Bowie have stated.
9:32
Speaker 1: Repeatedly they would not resourcing bourbon, but with only bottle
9:35
Speaker 1: and sel bourbon produced as the Springfield distillery that was alive,
9:40
Speaker 1: said Potter, we didn't mean to live. We truly believed
9:43
Speaker 1: those statements of the time, but things changed and they
9:45
Speaker 1: were forced to reconsider and withdraw.
9:48
Speaker 2: Those earlier statements.
9:50
Speaker 1: Although the Big vat Liar uses bourbon distilled and aged
9:53
Speaker 1: by another distillery, it is truly a Potter Jane unique blend.
9:57
Speaker 1: Bully explained that although they purchased several barrels of bourbons
10:00
Speaker 1: from other distilleries, they worked tireusly to perfect a blend
10:05
Speaker 1: of these bourbons to create a taste uniquely Potter Jane
10:08
Speaker 1: that gives concierge a great tasting or caust swarf, I
10:14
Speaker 1: should say, a great tasting bourbon at.
10:16

10:18
Speaker 1: Guests of the distillery for the announcement were treated to

Speaker 1: a sampful of this first edition of Big vat Liar

Speaker 2: Other blends in the works.
10:28
Speaker 1: Potter and Bowie that additional Big vat Lyar blends will
10:31
Speaker 1: be forthcoming as the young distillery patiently waits for their
10:35
Speaker 1: own brew to properly age. Potter Jam began operations in
10:40
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, but even the earliest distilled spirits have
10:44
Speaker 1: to age for several years. In the meantime, while bourbon
10:47
Speaker 1: lovers wait, they can enjoy Big vat Liar's custom blend
10:53
Speaker 1: of flavors. Those are signs why fast stroke treatment is
10:57
Speaker 1: critical by Jessica Lee and g the UK Healthcare Comprehensive
11:02
Speaker 1: Stroke programs due ten to twenty twenty six. Every second
11:06
Speaker 1: matter is when it comes to a stroke. During stroke
11:09
Speaker 1: awareness months, it is important to understand both the warning
11:12
Speaker 1: size of strokes and the steps we can take to
11:15
Speaker 1: produce risk. A stroke occurs when blood floats to part
11:18
Speaker 1: of the brain is interrupted, depriving.
11:21
Speaker 2: Brain cells of oxygen.
11:22
Speaker 1: Without prompt treatment, brain cells begin to die within minute.
11:26
Speaker 1: As a physician who treats stroke patients, I have seen
11:29
Speaker 1: firsthand how rapid recognition and treatment can dramatically improve recovery
11:34
Speaker 1: and outcomes. I have also seen the consequences when people
11:37
Speaker 1: wait too long to take care because they do not
11:40
Speaker 1: recognize symptoms or assume they will go away on their own.
11:43
Speaker 1: One of the most important things everyone should know is
11:46
Speaker 1: the acronym be fast, which helps identify common stroke symptoms.
11:52
Speaker 1: B for ballots, sudden trouble with balance, coordination are walking,
11:56
Speaker 1: E for eyes sudden double visions or loss of vision
12:00
Speaker 1: and one or both eyes S. Face drooping does one
12:04
Speaker 1: side of the face.
12:05
Speaker 2: Droop or film on? A?
12:07
Speaker 1: Arm?
12:08
Speaker 2: Weakness is one arm weak or.
12:10
Speaker 1: Difficult to rate s each difficulty is each flirred or
12:14
Speaker 1: hard to understand?
12:16
Speaker 2: And T time to qualm nine one one.
12:18
Speaker 1: If you notice any of these symptoms, seek emergency care immediately,
12:23
Speaker 1: regardless of which symptoms appear.
12:25
Speaker 2: Time is critical and stroke.
12:27
Speaker 1: Here we often say time is brain because millions of
12:31
Speaker 1: brain cells can be lost each minute treatment is delayed.
12:34
Speaker 1: Many people are seeing strokes only happen to older adults,
12:37
Speaker 1: but strokes can occur at any age. Certain medical conditions
12:41
Speaker 1: and lifestyle factors can increase stroke risk, including high blood pressure, diabetes,
12:46
Speaker 1: high cholesterol, smoky obesity, physical inactivity, and atrial fib relations.
12:53
Speaker 1: High blood pressure is the single biggest stroke risk factor
12:57
Speaker 1: that we can modify. The encouraging news is that even
13:00
Speaker 1: small improvements can make a significant difference. Lowering blood pressure
13:05
Speaker 1: by as little as ten points may reduce stroke risk
13:08
Speaker 1: by up to thirty percent.
13:10
Speaker 2: That is substantial.
13:12
Speaker 1: Managing your blood pressure, getting physically active, eating a healthy diet,
13:16
Speaker 1: and avoiding tobacco products can all help reduce risk. Regular
13:21
Speaker 1: checkups with your healthcare provider are also important for identifying
13:26
Speaker 1: in managing underlying conditions before they become serious. Another common
13:31
Speaker 1: misconception is that stroke symptoms.
13:34
Speaker 2: Will always be severe or painful.
13:37
Speaker 1: In reality, stroke is rarely accompanied by pain, which is
13:40
Speaker 1: one reason many people of dismiss symptoms or the.
13:43
Speaker 2: Lay seeking care.
13:45
Speaker 1: Any sudden dumbness or weakness affecting one side of the body,
13:49
Speaker 1: each changes or vision changes should be taken seriously. If
13:54
Speaker 1: you suspect someone is having to stroke, do not wait
13:57
Speaker 1: to see if symptoms improved, calmine immediately rather than driving
14:02
Speaker 1: to the hospital yourself. Emergency medical teams can begin evaluating
14:06
Speaker 1: patients on the way to the hospital and help ensure
14:09
Speaker 1: patients are transported to the appropriate stroke here center as
14:14
Speaker 1: quickly as possible. Advances in stroke care continue to improve
14:18
Speaker 1: outcomes for patients, particularly when treatments begin early. Clot Busting
14:24
Speaker 1: medications and minimally invasive procedures can help restore blood flow
14:28
Speaker 1: to the brain and reduce disability in certain.
14:31
Speaker 2: Types of stroke.
14:32
Speaker 1: However, these treatments are highly time sensitive. During Stroke Awareness Month,
14:38
Speaker 1: take a few moments to learn about the warning signs,
14:41
Speaker 1: know your risk factors, and share this information with family
14:45
Speaker 1: and friends. Recognizing his stroke quickly should help save a life,
14:50
Speaker 1: possibly even in your own. KSP Posts fifteen to conduct
