“Designed to Move” features work by photographer Taylor James.

Scottsdale Public Art will host the "Designed to Move: Seeds That Float, Fly or Hitchhike through the Desert Southwest" exhibition July 7 - Sept. 30, 2022, at Scottsdale Civic Center Library.

"Designed to Move" features work by photographer Taylor James, introducing viewers to a surprising, up-close look at the beauty and functional diversity of desert seed designs. James' photographs illustrate the ingenious design of desert seeds that employ different methods for dispersal and propagation. They can float in the air and water, fly far from their mother plant and hitchhike on the fur of animals.

In collaboration with Desert Botanical Garden, Arizona State University's Herbarium and ASU's Design School, the exhibition is organized by the Biomimicry Center at ASU.

Wendy Raisanen, curator of collections and exhibitions for Scottsdale Public Art, loves the connection between the exhibition and the public artwork "Sonoran Seed Pods" by Jeff Zischke at George "Doc" Cavalliere Park in north Scottsdale. The sculpture series' extra-large steel renditions of desert seeds along the hiking path are a natural tie-in with the macrophotography featured in "Designed to Move."

Additionally, Scottsdale Public Art is offering a special augmented reality experience for those who view the exhibition in person at the Civic Center Public Gallery. Using the Hoverlay app, the public will be able to view a 3-D model of one of the "Sonoran Seed Pods" sculptures and walk through a portal to see the sculpture on the Frank Crerie hiking trail, in 360 degrees, on their mobile device.

"Living in Arizona and hiking in the Sonoran Desert has given me an intimate knowledge and experience with desert plants and their seeds that have attached themselves to my clothes," Raisanen said. "The macrophotography really shows the beauty and ingenuity of their design."

In addition to the exhibition itself, there will be an opening reception, including a talk from Adelheid Fischer, biomimicry writer, educator and curator of "Designed to Move," from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. July 7 at the Civic Center Public Gallery inside Scottsdale Civic Center Library, 3839 N. Drinkwater Blvd., Scottsdale, Arizona 85251.

QC Kinetix (Scottsdale) treats musculoskeletal injuries and improves joint pain for Scottsdale residents by utilizing natural treatment protocols and cutting-edge medical technology.

Scottsdale, AZ - (NewMediaWire) - June 24, 2022 - via QC Kinetix -- It is estimated that joint pain affects approximately one in every four adults in the United States, indicating that an astounding quarter of the nation's population is living with chronic pain. Osteoarthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other forms of arthritis are just a few conditions that can cause joint pain. These conditions can significantly impact a person's quality of life, turning the simplest tasks into insurmountable battles. Surgical intervention and medication are the main treatment options for joint pain, although they are frequently ineffective and carry a high risk of complications.

With the current pain control options mostly limited to surgery and analgesics, pain patients often find themselves between a rock and a hard place when they consider their implications. Besides being costly, surgical procedures often leave wounds that require lengthy recuperation periods without promising definitive results. On the other hand, pain medications merely address symptoms by masking the pain instead of addressing its underlying causative problems.

A lack of effective treatment options for chronic pain prompted QC Kinetix (Scottsdale) researchers to look for new approaches that could provide patients with better, painless lives. Their treatments, which use regenerative medicine and other natural therapies, have proven fruitful after years of research. At QC Kinetix (Scottsdale), regenerative medicine and natural therapies have significantly helped many patients improve their quality of life. The best part is that there are no long-term side effects or complications from their simple and non-invasive procedures.

While commenting on their experience with QC Kinetix, one happy patient said, "I can't say enough good about the treatments received by QC Kinetix. I've gone from continuous debilitating pain in my right knee and both wrists from carpal tunnel to functioning without all the pain. I'd recommend them to anyone. All the staff is very friendly and professional. I'm not yet done with all the treatments and feel this good. I can't wait till the final outcome."

There is fresh hope for individuals who suffer from chronic pain and musculoskeletal ailments because of advances in regenerative medicine. Over the last five years, this new area of medicine has made amazing strides. Patients with musculoskeletal disorders can now benefit from a wide range of evidence-based, results-oriented regenerative medicine treatments.

QC Kinetix (Scottsdale) has been able to address the needs of patients with a wide range of conditions, from chronic pain to injuries sustained in sports and accidents. The procedures offered at the clinic are derived from the most recent scientific findings in the field of regenerative medicine. They use cutting-edge medical technology and orthopedic-focused biologic therapies to repair damaged tissues by targeting and reversing inflammation, injury, or degeneration at a cellular level. Hundreds of patients in Scottsdale have found relief from persistent chronic pain and improved their overall well-being thanks to these treatments.

Regenerative medicine is a specialty in which the medical providers at QC Kinetix (Scottsdale) are well-versed, thanks to their extensive training and work in the field. They develop individualized treatment plans for every patient because of the distinct nature of each patient's illness. These plans are then adapted to meet the requirements of each specific individual. At QC Kinetic (Scottsdale), patients can anticipate receiving holistic care that emphasizes their overall health and well-being.

QC Kinetix (Scottsdale)'s regenerative treatments alleviate pain by triggering, stimulating, and sustaining the body's innate ability to heal itself. The fact that they focus on enhancing restoration and regeneration at a cellular level means that their results are long-lived, saving patients from frequent visits to the hospital or pharmacy. Compared to conventional treatments, QC Kinetix's biologic therapies come with certain undeniable advantages, the main one being evidence-based results. Many chronic pain patients who have tried them have reported positive results within a few months of beginning treatment, with others regaining affected bodily functions in as little as three weeks.

Although pain medications have been around for a long time, they aren't particularly effective at curing the problem. Instead, pain medications treat the symptoms the patient is experiencing, frequently resulting in addiction. When an individual continually needs to take their pain medication to alleviate pain, a cycle of dependence is created.

The problem with painkillers as a pain control plan is the adverse side effects that they often come with. This is not to mention the burden of having to adhere to strict timeframes of ingestion to guarantee their efficacy. These two problems alone can have a serious negative impact on any patient's quality of life. Luckily for such patients, QC Kinetix (Scottsdale) offers a tried-and-proven way out of this unhealthy analgesic dependence. Many chronic pain patients who successfully undergo QC Kinetix (Scottsdale)'s regenerative therapies can often go off pain medications after the first few sessions. The best part is that the cellular-level healing achieved from the treatments ensures that such medication dependence is addressed once and for all.

QC Kinetix (Scottsdale) is located at 9220 E Mountain View Rd, #210, Scottsdale, AZ, 85258, US. Chronic pain patients can learn more about their Scottsdale office by visiting the clinic's website. Call (602) 837-7246 for other inquiries or appointment scheduling.

The district used federal relief money to team up with Varsity Tutors, an online learning platform that connects students and experts for personalized instruction.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — We all know the coronavirus put a strain on education from students to teachers. But the Scottsdale Unified School District found a way to make sure their students stayed on track.

“Our teachers were so busy meeting all the student's needs, and there's also some staffing shortages,” said Dr. Kimberly Guerin, assistant superintendent of the Scottsdale Unified School District.

So they used federal relief money to team up with Varsity Tutors, an online learning platform that connects students and experts for personalized instruction. Scottsdale students can now get six hours of free tutoring

“Tutoring is a way to make sure that they get targeted supplemental help to make sure that doesn't snowball into a bigger problem," explained Brian Galvin, Chief Academic Officer at Varsity Tutors. "Now, with Varsity tutors, for schools, one of the things we love is that we can facilitate online tutoring, which means that it can happen at any day, time, any subject, any type of tutor a student needs. It can be really customized.”

He said tutoring can take place whenever it’s convenient for the student, whether it’s after or before school, or even on weekends.

“Families can schedule tutoring. And it's virtual, and they record it," said Dr. Guerin. "So if it's a math lesson, and you want to go back and re-watch it, to see how to work that algebra problem, you can do that as well. And you also get the virtual notes,”

But it’s not just core subjects like math, science or a foreign language, there are also summer programs available.

“All throughout the summer, they're enriching summer camp opportunities and learning about space, dinosaurs, coding, art and creativity," Galvin added. "We have a whole series of what we call virtual field trips with museums like the Smithsonian. We've worked with Phoenix Zoo, and celebrities like astronauts and Discovery Channel hosts.”

Roughly 400 families in the Scottsdale Unified School District have signed up for the Varsity Tutors program.

“I've loved to see the student's response to it, gaining confidence, and getting that support that they need, and not falling behind in school. So it's all about what the students need. And that if we can find creative ways to meet that need, then we're doing our job,” said Dr. Guerin.

After a bit of a hiatius following the Great Recession, DMB Associates Inc. is closing deals quickly on a 75-acre mixed-use project in north Scottsdale.

It's been a long time coming for the project, called One Scottsdale, just north of Loop 101 on Scottsdale Road.

The Scottsdale-based developer has owned the land in partnership with the Marley-Corrigan Family since 2002, and had invested upward of $30 million in infrastructure before the Great Recession, said Michael Burke, senior vice president of commercial development for DMB.

"Then the market tanked," he said.

Now DMB has been selling parcels of land to various developers and is investing another $12 million of infrastructure for future projects on the site, he said.

The growth in that area makes it a good time to move forward on the project now, Burke said, pointing to Mayo Clinic's $748 million expansion and purchase of state land to create a biocorridor and Arizona State University's growing presence there.

Plus, he said, Nationwide Realty Investors has been revving up its tenant leasing activity at its $1 billion Cavasson development at the northwest corner of Loop 101 and Hayden Road.

What's more, Phoenix-based Banner Health also is eyeing a 50-acre parcel of land directly across the street from Cavasson, while Scottsdale-based Optima Inc. is planning a $1 billion luxury residential community at the southeast corner of Scottsdale Road and Loop 101.

And just east of that parcel, Scottsdale-based De Rito Partners Development Inc. was the winning bidder in a state land auction of an 85.6-acre site at the southwest corner of Loop 101 and Hayden Road, paying $61.85 million.

"People want to be in this part of Scottsdale," he said.

Starting out with 120 acres, DMB had previously sold parcels to various developers at the site, including an office parcel to Dial Corp. for its headquarters in 2006 and to Dallas-based TDI Real Estate Holdings LLC to build two luxury apartment communities in 2012.

Now there's about 75 acres left to develop, Burke said.

Kicking off all this new development is Hilton Home2Suites, which began construction last September on a 2-acre parcel for a 130-room extended stay hotel that is expected to open this October.

That 2-acre parcel is within a 21-acre portion of the property between Thompson Peak Parkway and Legacy Boulevard.

Starting construction this month within that section is a 10,700-square-foot retail development that is expected to open in 2023. A plastic surgeon also bought 1.5 acres there, with plans to build a 17,000-square-foot facility.

North of that plastic surgery center, Burke is in negotiations on a 6.5-acre parcel with a developer for a 100,000-square-foot medical office building.

QuikTrip also is going through an initial use approval process, he said.

"We still have a couple of extra retail pads and some more office pads," he said.

South of Legacy Boulevard is another 54 acres that will feature a 200,000-square-foot mixed-use village, including residential, restaurant and office space.

"We closed earlier this month with StreetLights Residential to build a Class A apartment complex, and we have two other apartment complexes in various stages of city approvals," Burke said.

According to Vizzda LLC real estate database, Dallas-based Street Lights Residential paid $12.7 million to DMB for a 5.7-acre parcel east of the southeast corner of Scottsdale Road and Legacy Boulevard to build 314 units. That equates to $2.23 million per acre.

Chicago-based Belgravia Group Ltd. just received approval to build a 112-unit condominium project, he said.

"And we have a 120-unit senior living project in escrow," Burke said.

The entire One Scottsdale development is entitled for 1,250 residential units, he said. Existing zoning approvals call for residential communities to range from three to five stories, depending on where they are located within the site.

"We have been working with a national owner operator of hotels and they want to build and develop a new resort hotel here," he said. "We're working to try to get that deal done."

It likely will take seven to 10 years for the complete buildout of One Scottsdale's 75 acres, Burke said.

ABC15 received reports of delayed flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The following is a statement from a representative at Sky Harbor:

"There were a small number of flights holding but it's important to note that number can change rapidly. What's more important is that passengers or people picking up loved ones at the airport should confirm their flight status with their airline before coming out to the airport. The airlines are very good about updating their passengers but it always pays to double-check. Travelers can check on their airline’s websites or by going to skyharbor.com."
