I've seen Halo Headband at a few Race Expos I had been to recently, so figured I had to check them out. Their booth normally has a mannequin head with "sweat" coming down into the "runner's" face and another head with a Halo Headband product showing how their technology prevents the sweat from getting in your eyes, as well as how the material wicks the sweat off of your body and helps it evaporate quickly from the fabric.
I reached out to Nick Holslag, one of the partners at Halo Headband, who was super generous and sent me MULTIPLE options to test and review.
I was sent a Halo II Pullover, their best selling headband, in Aqua. I LOVE the color of it. Not only do I think it is super cute (a HUGE benefit in my book), but it also does exactly what it says it will (more on that later)!
I was also sent a Sport Visor. I was most interested in trying the visor because I had never tried one before. If you have seen any of my running pictures, for the most part I run with some type of headband (to keep my crazy fly-away hairs tamed and the sweat off of my face as best as possible) and sunnies. I have run a couple races (specifically the runDisney events that have starting times BEFORE the sun rises) that I know I will need some way to keep the sun out of my eyes once it comes up, but obviously don't need the sun glasses for the entire race. A visor would work perfectly in that situation and I wanted to see if the theory would hold true in reality.
Nick also included a couple of the Hairbands - a larger 1" version in white and a smaller 1/2" version in blue.
Walt and I found this guy walking the streets after we ran the Santa Mile and had to snap a shot with him.
I am blessed to live in Southern California (don't worry, I paid my dues, living in the frozen tundra of Michigan for the first 21 years of my life and now paying a HIGH Sunshine Tax to stay here). This means two things: First, it is SUNNY... MOST OF THE YEAR. Second, it is WARM... MOST OF THE YEAR. These two facts mean that I need to find some way to keep the sun and sweat out of my eyes. Halo Headband products do just that!
I was a little hesitant at first, not sure if the "Sweat Block Seal" would actually work as it said it would - but it really did! I have gone on multiple runs wearing all of the different Halo Headband products and never once have I had to wipe the sweat from my face (and yes, this might be too much information, but here goes, I SWEAT LIKE A PIG, so anything to keep me from having to wipe my face multiple times during a run or race is AMAZING in my book).
I think my favorite piece that I received was either the Sport Visor or the Halo II Pullover. The visor DEFINITELY is a great option for those runs where your eyes will need protection from the sun (and glare). The visor stayed in place and was extremely comfortable to wear. I didn't need to readjust it during my runs at all and without a doubt it kept the sun out of my eyes (even when running almost directly into it while it was setting one day). The pullover headband was also a favorite of mine amongst the products Nick sent. It was thick (which gives more surface area for the sweat to evaporate off of), colorful (always a plus in my mind), cute, and kept me cool!
All-in-all I give the Halo Headband products TWO THUMBS UP (and two happy, non-burning eyes)!
Make sure to enter the giveaway below (FYI some of the entry options are available DAILY for a better chance to win - so enter now and enter often)!
Looks cool- and I love all the colors!
I purchased a HaloHat during the DLH and I LOVE IT!! Like you said it definitely does it's job.
I like the pullover in teal!
Pink. And I live in FL, so I am definitely a visor girl, so am going to look into those!
I have a white & black hairband, would love another color- any color! They're my favorite!
ooh - tough call. like the skull cap, cycling cap and race visor!
Bright pink halo headband tie version!
I like the red pullover.
I bought this at an expo although skeptical. Sadly it was mysteriously gone from my hotel. LOVED it though. These bright colors are great!
I think I would go for that bright green Halo II Pullover version--though maybe the pink, it's so hard to pick! I love those bright colors!!
I picked up the Halo Sport Hat at the Disneyland Half Marathon expo last year, and it performed perfectly. That was one of the most humid events I've ever participated in and I was sweating buckets. Normally I suffer from getting sweat in my eyes, but that hat worked flawlessly and made my run so much more enjoyable.
I would get the Halo II Athletic Sweatband in bright pink!
I like the pink Halo Hairband!
I would definitely like to try a product that won't slip and keep those crazy flyaways out of my face.
Pullover Pink is my favorite!
Definitely the bright green pullover!
At the moment I'd love to have the antifreeze. I have a few of the halo II pullovers and I LOVE them!!
I'd like the 1/2" hairband in almost any color - perhaps grey or black are the most versatile.
I love the Halo Pullovers! I think I would NEED one in bright pink!
Love the look of these! I'd choose pink!
the bright colors are very eye catching!
i like the idea of a headband rather than a full cap. my head gets too hot sometimes. pullover in bright pink is pretty.
I love the bright pink (and also the aqua. Two of my favorite colors), in the pullover. I may need to invest in a few, due to the awful Maryland humidity.
the visor is cool. i think my wife would love to use one.
I like the paisley headband and the cycling caps look interesting too!
these are CUTE! i love the visors!
i love the bright colors!! the pullover is my choice and in pink!
I love the pullover, black and pink are my favorites.
Lime green is DEFINITELY my favorite!
Halo Rocks! Their products are fantastic and the reps that come to their expos are awesome, too. Everyone should get Halo!

The California desert is a land based in contradiction. A place where the feeling of impending apocalypse mingles closely with hopeful utopia. Where alien encounters are as common as daily prayer, and often intersect one another. Where “off-the-grid” communities share borders with a military base. It is a place of tangled human existence and messily woven magic.
“I’ve always had an interest in Iceland, and the art that is made in this part of the world,” says Brian. “My aim is really just to expand my knowledge of art that is happening here, and to somehow take part in it.” Step by step, he’s making his way into Reykjavík’s prolific art scene. This June he stepped through the doors of the Harbinger Project Space at Freyjugata 1 for the opening night of a month-long show—which he curated.
‘Zing Zam Blunder’ will be on display at Harbinger until July 23. Take a look for a peek inside this curator’s mind—celebrating art that’s created whether because of or in spite of difficult conditions, and the community that is formed in the remote and the vital.

Occupy America	Holmes and the Doctor – jees, guys, get a room!
The carnival is back in town. Once a year, maybe more, the traveling carnival makes a stop at the shopping center that houses KMart. They set up in the parking lot, and hawk their rides, the fun house, the ball toss, and whatever is new and shiny for the passing crowds. The search lights pierce the sky, performing a ballet with the four bright beams shining upwards. The attractions presented in these carnivals are the same ones we see each year at the county fairs across our state, just fewer in number. I have no doubt they set up these local affairs to fill in the weeks and months between the “big shows”.
I’ve not ridden any of these contraptions in over 20 years, and I’m not likely to in the future. Why? Because I used to work in a liquor / convenience store.
The people who run the rides, and hawk the ball toss and target practice games are the same folks who set them up. The rides all fold down into trailer-able components, broken down and towed to the next parking lot to be set up again. They’re tall, fast, brightly lit, and yes, fun to ride. The counties are supposed to inspect them as they’re set up, and I assume (but don’t know for sure) that the state also checks them out for safety. With the budget cuts in government, however, and with the economy being in the state it’s been in since 2008, I’m not sure I trust that these things are maintained as well as they should be. Costs have to be kept low to make these traveling shows profitable, and constantly repairing these mechanical behemoths can’t be cheap. Put them up, run them constantly, then tear them down and truck them to the next parking lot takes a toll on any machine.
From about 1987 till 1994, I worked at a store just about a half a mile from where this carnival sets up each year. At that time, we were the closest liquor store to the site. When the carnies rolled into town, the second stop most of them made was at our store. They weren’t buying milk and bread, even though they could have.
Every day, starting around noon, the carnies would start coming in. Some were clearly hung over, some were obviously high, and most were not people I’d care to spend any time with, nor would I trust any of them with children. They’d buy their alcohol and head out to get ready for the evening’s run. After the second year of “hosting” these folks, I determined I’d never again set foot on any machine they were responsible for.
We rarely hear of accidents or serious injury or death at these carnivals, but that doesn’t reassure me. I don’t know how well accidents are kept out of view, and as a local story, the news of any that do occur might not make it onto a forum that I would see. I don’t trust the people I saw come through the store, and I have no reason to believe those manning the equipment today are any different from the crews I saw over 20 years ago.
If you go to a carnival, or county fair, take a good look at the person manning the ride. Do they look strung out? Do they have “that look”… the bloodshot eyes, the blank stare, the sluggish movements? Are they hung over? Would you trust your children’s safety to this person in any other setting? Does the carnival look well maintained? Is the paint in good condition, and is it so because of good maintenance, or is it due to attempts to cover up problems?
I haven’t gone into one in a long time, and I didn’t go in for this one. I just stood at the periphery and took a couple of pictures for this blog. If I had a guest, I would have gone in just to walk around, and maybe tossed a ring or two, or maybe even won a cheap glass piece in the dime toss, but I doubt I’d get on the rides. Maybe someday I’ll change my mind, but for now, I’ll pass, thanks.
Never thought of it that way before. Lol.
As kids we used to ride these all the time but as I got older I began to see how these are quickly put together and just don’t look that safe. Also, the operators worry me. Anyway, maybe I’m just being paranoid because I survived when I was a kid.
Oh, I remember the rides at Mooney’s Grove. No longer there though.

Verona has always been one of those fantasy places to visit on my bucket list and finally we had the time and the opportunity to explore it! Ronn was invited to go to the Venice Film Festival gala and since Verona was only an hour and half train ride away, we decided to visit what Shakespeare depicted in “Romeo and Juliet” for our own eyes to see. The things we are discovering about Verona has made us fall in love all over again in a city that is as charming as it’s name.
I didn’t realize Verona was so close to Venezia, Rome, Firenze and Milan, all of which are only a couple of hours away by train. What we love so far about Verona is most all of the city is within walking distance to the charming center and gives off an essence of a smaller version of Rome, especially with the beautiful Arena displayed for operas and concerts. This experience of exploring Verona was a spontaneous one due to the fact that Ronn is in the midst of planning out his world tour of Europe in a much bigger way that we originally expected. We were not suppose to arrive in Europe until the end of September, but due to the invite to the Venice Film Festival, we decided to come early and have a bit of fun in between.
This city is warm and cozy with all the charm and vibe you would expect from hearing its name. It makes you wonder if Romeo and Juliet really did exist and so a visit to Juliet’s house is a must see for fantasy and lovers to take photos on Juliet’s balcony, write their names on a wall entrance and even a letter via email to Juliet. As we wandered the streets of Verona, many people stopped Ronn for photos and we were invited to try the restaurant of one longtime fan.
“Il Banco Prosciutteria” was simply an amazing experience. So far it was the best meal we have had in Verona! The presentation was unique and the restaurant also has a downstairs private room and outdoor seating. We are planning to go to dinner there again soon! “Angelucci’s” was an awesome place for pizza that had a unique array of toppings and “Perbacco” was a very simple family style restaurant that gave you a preset menu which included wine, water and coffee. This place had the greatest value for the homestyle food it served.
Ronn and I really are loving Verona, it reminds us of a quieter version of Rome. So far we have met some really nice people, made new friends, had some wonderful meals and saw a concert of “Pink Floyd Legend” in the beautiful outdoor Roman theater. We look forward to seeing an opera someday in the gorgeous arena and its been quite an experience to walk around all the shops with Ronn. He seems to be loved in Verona and we are falling in love with its magic also.

It's always great to recognize how to preserve energy because it can help you handle your finances well. If you can substantially lessen your monthly payments, you can conserve more money in the end. These guidelines will help you achieve this.
Plugged appliances still consume energy when they are turned off so you have to make sure that they are unplugged after making use of. This is one of the mistakes made by property owners. If you'd like to preserve energy, you should always unplug your home appliances.
You should try to alternative energy sources along with your current energy source. You can't rely on alternative energy sources right this moment to provide all the energy needs of your home.
A lot of individuals attempt to disregard lighting since they believe that their bills are not afflicted by the little light bulbs. When you're trying to your artificial lighting 24 hours a day, it will definitely start draining lots of energy and your regular bills will likely be more pricey. LED Bulbs and CFL are better choices so if you are still making use of incandescent bulbs, replace them straight away because the new ones up less energy. It is also very important to utilize natural light rather than utilizing your artificial lighting 24/7. Open your curtains during daytime and let natural light enter your residence and simply open your lights at night.
The good thing is that you may always preserve electricity and decrease your monthly payments. Below are a few recommendations that you could stick to if you'd like lower monthly payments on electricity.
You can think about these renewable power sources as an alternate to reduce your monthly electricity bills. You can collect energy during day time and them at night.
You need to consider alternative energy sources along with your current energy source. Your family cannot fully depend on renewable energy sources right now because of the current technology that we have.

Dear friends. After the “Sort-of-tutorial” videos that I published recently, I have been receiving requests to give classes online. I have restarted activities during 2018, after my PhD was concluded. The entering fee is 30€ for a full hour session or 100€ for a set of four.
I speak Portuguese (native) and English (fluent) but I have some understanding of French, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, Bulgarian and Russian languages.
Bass lessons from beginning to intermediate levels – I initially have learned bass guitar by myself. Later I did complete music school and currently I teach bass at local academies. I propose to show you my own approach to the bass guitar on techniques, getting familiar with the bass, learning to play a bassline and come up with your bass parts, and to complement this approach with more formal contents, as I explain later on.
Works of Chris Squire – If you have seen my YouTube videos, you know how much I admire the great Chris Squire, who, in spite of his untimely passing, is and will be forever my biggest musical influence. Studying his incredible work for over 25 years is the largest contribution to my development as a bass player and musician. I would like to share with you this experience, hoping that it makes you evolve as well and, if you are a fan of Chris’ too, to be able to feel his music closer.
I have graduated in “classical” music school (double bass) and I can provide complementary musical theory notions, if you wish, whether it’s learning to read music, key signatures, time signatures, scales, modes, harmony, analysis, etc… and, more importantly, to incorporate those notions in your playing.
If you are interested in odd-meter signatures, which are very popular on the progressive rock field, I can also help you with that. I am a student of Bulgarian folk music, which can add a lot to that department as well!
Ear-training is an extremely valuable resource for me – and that’s the sort of practice that I would favour, to be able to recognise melodies, intervals, chords and specifically to “extract” basslines by ear, which is how I do it.
I can advise you on several aspects of your playing on topics such as effects, amp settings, strings, bass maintenance and setup. Additionally I can also share my experience with software used to record your music, audio and video production.
What are not my specialities?
Styles such as slap or funk are not my speciality, so I wouldn’t be a good teacher at that. The same with very fast tapping or “shredding”. I am sure there are far better tutors for those styles. Although I like all musical styles, I am mostly a rock bass player. However I have some experience on other playing styles such as jazz and I can provide you some notions of that, like for instance to play a walking bass, or to improvise to a standard.
This list may extend, according to your goals.
I consider the work between classes as a major progress factor and I will assign homework for you in every class. I will also be available to support you via email with with your homework.
Miguel I think u should be the bass player in yes.
What I want to learn is the gates of delirium.
Thank you very much, Luis! All the best! Merry Christmas!
Okay: I have once again watched/listened to your performance of AWAKEN. It has been my favorite piece of music since shortly after it was released and has done nothing but expand in meaning and power with each passing year (majestic, transcendent)! Watching & hearing you NAIL IT while also clearly appreciating the tune for what it is absolutely compels me to take up the bass (vs. the ‘air bass’ I have been playing for decades).I will follow up once I have geared up (browsing your site now for any equipment recommendations you might have). You have both my attention and respect Miguel.
Thank you very much for your warm message! I’m very glad to know you’re decided to take up the bass. Feel free to ask for any advice if you’re looking for gear, just drop me an email. All the best!

In 2018, California stepped up its harassment training law to include the requirement that all employees (for employers with five or more employees) be trained on workplace harassment, bi-annually, with initial training to be completed by January 1, 2020.
In response to these new laws, Syntrio has developed California Harassment training courses for both managers and non-managerial employees.
These courses use engaging and entertaining scenarios and examples, as well as interactive guidance, to help an organization comply with the California laws and affect change in your organization’s culture for the better.
Managers are instructed on how to recognize and prevent harassment and retaliation and are provided detailed information about where to direct employees to report complaints, as well as ethical and legal obligations managers have to reduce harassment in business culture.
As a manager you will understand your responsibilities to prevent, recognize and resolve instances of suspected harassment at work.

Good skincare will nourish your skin so it does not 'drink' the makeup, so be sure to cleanse and moisturise properly and then wait a few minutes before applying a primer to smooth, dry pores. Then use a thin base all over and add your foundation or concealer to correct where necessary. Tahira’s secret? “I usually do a light loose powder after base and then do makeup before pressing compact powder on the T-zone.
The next step to all day makeup coverage, is securing your colours. From lip to eye makeup, there are extra tips to make sure your makeup lasts all day. To make lipstick last, it’s best to use a pencil all over first before applying your chosen shade. Another insider tip? “An old Hollywood trick is to apply your lipstick then use one ply of tissue and blot your lips to remove any excess.” For eye makeup it is actually best to use an eye makeup primer and then stick to powders, rather than layering cream and powder shadow.” So there you have it, a few basic rules to keep you looking perfect from morning until night!

As the world is becoming a global village, so is the business world. More companies are operating globally. The International Financial Reporting System has developed standards that ensures a transparent, efficient, and accountable financial market all over the world. International standards on accounting and finance can be read here http://www.ifrs.org/. All countries have their own set of rules and standards for accounting and financial reporting in business. And, it’s important to know them.
For a corporation that has gone global, it is a must to follow these accounting standards. These standards are a set of guidelines and procedures for accounting in private or government bodies. The purpose of developing these standards is to ensure that accounting information is uniform and accounting decisions are made in a reasonable way.
The principal role of the accounting standards is to bring a universality to financial records and bookkeeping. Government organizations, private corporation, and every other accounting body has to follow the same accounting procedure. Following a uniform procedure in accounting, all comparisons can be made among the financial status of similar bodies. The financial status of a government organization can easily be compared with the financial status of a private organization with the same objectives.
Accounting standards are developed to ensure a transparent system in an organization. The principles and procedures of accounting are made with a purpose that information can be open to observers. In case of public systems, trusts, and government companies, transparency and openness is very important. Standards put a limit on organizations to use ingenious accounting to move items around.
Accounting standards give an insight into the most appropriate information in the most rational way. Companies which follow clear, uniform, and transparent accounting information attract more investors. Observers of such information can make rational decisions about a company. Standards put a limit on organizations so that they cannot hide the financial status of a company from observers. Entrepreneurs can access fair information related to accounting data and make better decisions jointly. Potential investors can study open accounting policies to decide if they will invest in a business or not.
The importance of accounting standards is that it makes the work of investors, taxpayers, auditors, and decision-makers easier and more fair across the board. Critical decisions for a company’s future can be made in a more uniform way.
In public organizations, a uniformity in accounting standards makes it clear and easy for the taxpayers to see how their money is being spent in the most rational and suitable way. Taxpayers are the public who’s money is then collectively spent on societal welfare works. Regulatory authorities can easily keep a check to ensure that laws are being followed. Audit and inspections, both internal and external, allow auditors to work in an appropriate manner when accounting is done according to standards.
If a firm does not follow standard accounting procedures and practices, then it can be legally challenged. Especially in government or publicly traded companies, a uniform, clear, transparent accounting data is crucial.
In business oriented companies, financial statements that have followed accounting standards are credible and clear. These businesses can solidly grow and potential investors have more trust in them. Bank loans and other subsidies are preferably given to businesses when accounting standardization is in their business.
Disclosure standards: There are a standard set of rules in the disclosure of accounting policies to external users.
Presentation standards: The accounting information comprising of financial statements, cash flow charts, and balance sheets must be uniform as designated by the accounting standards for financial reporting.
Content standards: The contents in accounting data must be according to the standards set for the content data. No single entity should be missing from the contents of a financial reporting.
If a company tries to go against these standards, it can face legal issues with its competitors or its observers. In the case of public or government organizations, the public is also the observer to challenge the organization. Fraudulent practices are difficult to get away with in the presence of accounting standards. Compliance in accounting standards is a chief principal of business.

I had the privileged to read this before it went live. Hands down the best book I have ever read! This book is AMAZING and brilliantly written. M. Leighton gives Nicholas Sparks a good run for the money with this one. This book, is to date, the best work she has ever written in my opinion!
You feel like a better person after reading this epic love story. This story is a pure, romantic love story of two souls who have become one and their life journey. You will more than likely cry, its okay, we all need a good cry like this. I went through half a box of tissue, but I wear my soul on my sleeve. These tears shed are tears of joy because these characters are absolutely beautiful.
Every word I cherished, I savored every minuet of this book. I am still in a book slump and haven’t been able to pick up a book since. It is still soaking up my soul. It is moving and lovely.
Thank you Michelle for writing this book and sharing it with the rest of the world!
This book is not a romantic fairy tale. Yet, it’s the most romantic story I’ve ever told. It’s a journey of pain and loss, of hope and happiness. It’s both achingly tragic and exquisitely beautiful. It’s a love story. A true love story about real love. The kind that sees you through the night and holds you when you cry. The kind that won’t give up and never lets go. The kind we all dream about and few find. But it’s real. I promise you, it’s real. I’ve seen this kind of love, and I’ve seen this kind of heartbreak. I got to see it up close and personal, and quite honestly, I will never be the same. I hope it changes you as much as it changed me.

Communication Skill Plays a Vital Role In MLM Business Plan!
For an interesting communication, it’s mandatory that both the listener and speaker complement each other. Any one factor becomes unstable, then the entire conversation goes for a toss. Several times, lack of communication skills make you nearly invisible in the pool of opportunities. Your proposal, products might be very intriguing, but all these aspects are going to a deaf ear because you as a communicator are lost in the competition. Because of this, you can’t spread your wings across. You can’t convince the prospects how effective your product is and your MLM business. So, do you want people to hear you out then read on.
Basically, jargons are special words that are used by people from that particular profession. Not all are familiar with jargons! Hence, while you are communicating, always treat your prospect as a layman who has no knowledge about the network marketing business. This also means that you shouldn’t be using some technical terms that would put them in a confused state. MLM compensation plans, downline, sponsor, binary, etc., are a complete new universe for them if they are not aware of your business. So, try and explain them in the simplest form.
While interacting, several times, the conversation go on a different track altogether. This misguides the prospect and thus he starts losing interest. In situations like this, you should stop beating around the bush and come to the point directly. If you omit paragraphs which is unimportant will not cause any major harm, but remember to not omit points. Don’t waste time in explaining how great your product is than another. Instead, put forth your strengths right away!
While you are selling your product, your prospect might not understand the workflow, despite of repetitions. It’s not about product alone, but direct selling software can also be a tricky aspect to understand. In such situations, give your prospects examples with which they can easily relate. If they are a foodie, then try and explain them from a food point of view. This trick will definitely linger in their minds for a long time.
When I say narrative, it doesn’t mean that you have to write an essay or a long description that will bore your prospects to the core. Instead, explain them features in a story format so that they can relate to it easily. Also, add some real-life experiences, that will help in educating the prospects better.
Being funny, doesn’t mean that you keep the focus away and continue cracking jokes. Humor helps in simplifying issues, but remember not to overdo it! Add humor because that helps the prospects to gel with you and this helps in bridging the communication gap. It also helps the prospects to approach you in a better way!
So, pull up your socks, follow these leads and I am sure you will have a better prospecting ground. Also, there will be no discouragement on phones and meetings and you will have more scope to grow!

1. What is a direct pay practice?
A direct pay (cash pay) practice is an innovative, growing healthcare model. Our practice does not participate with any insurance or government healthcare program, which means that we are third-party free. Patients pay a reasonable fee for their care in our office at the time of service. We do not work for insurance companies or the government. We work for our patients.
2. How do you provide personalized care?
Patients always see Dr. Richard Ort, M.D, a board-certified dermatologist, not a PA or nurse practitioner. Referral hassles and restricted provider networks are never a concern. Dr. Ort spends the time necessary to address all of your concerns and will not rush your visit. He will sit down and explain your diagnosis and treatment plan in plain language. Since he is third-party free, he does not have conflicts of interest with respect to your care. His priority is what is best for you, not what is mandated by an insurance company.
Our staff will treat you with courtesy and will call promptly with any test results. Most of the time Dr. Ort is personally available to assist you after regular hours for urgent concerns. We take any patient suggestion or complaint seriously and will strive to exceed your expectations.
3. How do you create value for your patients?
Excessive rules and mandates have resulted in skyrocketing healthcare costs. Patients pay expensive insurance premiums yet still cannot afford care due to high deductibles and co-pays. To make matters worse, patients have no idea what their out-of-pocket costs are until they receive a surprise bill months later.
We take a simpler approach. By eliminating third parties from our practice, we reduce our administrative costs and pass these savings onto you. Patients know up front what they will pay for their care. We call this price transparency. There are no surprise or hidden bills that show up after the visit.
Patients with high deductibles or no insurance will find that our fees are significantly lower than what they are currently paying out of pocket. For those of you who have out of network benefits, we can provide the necessary codes so that you can submit an insurance claim for possible reimbursement.
4. How much will I have to pay?
Our transparent fees are available in print and online. Please review our Fee Schedule and Payment Policy.
Our healthcare system has changed and not for the better. Every year brings complex rules and mandates, leaving less time to care for patients. Medicine has become impersonal and automated much like an assembly line. Doctors are quitting independent practice or abandoning medicine altogether while their patients cannot even afford to see a doctor due to ever-increasing insurance premiums, deductibles, and copays. A direct pay practice allows Dr. Ort to maintain his solo dermatology practice and to serve his patients, NOT insurance companies, the government, or any other third party.
6. How does your practice safeguard patient privacy?
In a direct pay practice, neither insurance companies nor the government have access to your private medical record. Furthermore, we do not use electronic medical records to minimize the risk of a data breach.

“Though they are but small, they are mighty.” This quote can best be said about to the Livingston Residential Council. Every campus at Rutgers has a Residential Council whose main focus is large-scale programming for those campus’ residents. Each Residential Council is made up of the hall vice presidents of that specific campus. Of all the campuses, Livingston has the smallest council with only 5 hall governments that send representatives to their meetings and yet, they seem to be the most put together of the 4 residential councils. As the person who served as the director for the largest residential council this past year, I was always surprised at how a small council could pull of such amazing events. This month, I attended their first event of the year “Livingston Residential Council Presents: Bingo Night.” and I got to see first-hand how well they work as a team and how even though they are the smallest, it never seems like they’re understaffed.
The Livingston Residential Council certainly did not have an easy start to the year. Like many other councils, the Livingston Residential Council struggled with a lack of vice presidents elected for halls. With Livingston only having 5 halls, it was even more difficult for them to get a good start to the semester. Not only did they struggle with a lack of Vice Presidents, they also struggled with the fact that nobody ran to be the Livingston Residential Council Associate Director so they went into the semester down Vice Presidents and an Associate Director.
Despite all these pitfalls, they were still able to get together an amazing event. There were awesome prizes, cookies from Cookie Rush and of course bingo! It was so great to see this event come together so nicely, even though it too had its various obstacles in planning. This event was originally supposed to be earlier in the semester at a place on campus called the Rutgers Zone (on campus arcade). However, after many failed attempts at getting into contact with the professional staff manager of the Rutgers Zone, the event had to be cancelled and re-envisioned into something that would get a large amount of people to attend and still be just as engaging and entertaining. That’s when they chose to do Bingo.
Even with Bingo Night, they still faced some confusion and had to deal with some unpredictable issues. For example, the company that they ordered cookies from got the dates mixed up and thought the event was the following week. There was also a mix-up with advertising where email blasts were supposed to go out to all campus residents but somehow didn’t. Even through all of this, they still had 80 people come out to the event and it went without a hitch!
The saying “We survived because the fire in us burned brighter than the fire around us” really fits the Livingston Residential Council. During this semester they’ve been put through some of the toughest situations a council like theirs could be put through at yet they still emerged from the ashes stronger than before. Even after all of this, it can be tempting to say “No more, I’ve had enough of RHA” and yet when talking to Council members, many of them still want to continue in the organization next year and some even want to move up to the executive board.
The Livingston Residential Council is made up of some of the most passionate people I’ve met during my time in RHA and I really cannot wait to see what they have in-store for the next semester!

Never make predictions, they say, especially on blogs that people might read after the prediction has already died a death. But after England lose 17-16 to Colombia on penalties this evening, in a bizarre shoot-out in which Gloria from Modern Family races onto the pitch dressed in a Carlos Valderrama wig, bearing the skull of Pablo Escobar, in order to distract Jordan Pickford, here’s what’s coming next. Not in the World Cup – clearly Switzerland will win it as usual – but in that much more gripping end-to-end contest between two highly talented (surely ‘un-‘? -Ed) teams, Brexit.
Simon Wren-Lewis, an emeritus economics professor here in Oxford, writes a blog called Mainly Macro which is always worth a read. He’s not afraid to roam into politics and he writes for the general reader, not just economists. I think he nails it here on where we are now on Brexit: Simon Wren-Lewis: Brexit Endgame.
That’s pretty much how I see it. The parliamentary arithmetic dictates some form of “soft” Brexit – that is the UK in something like the current customs union, plus a high level of regulatory alignment with the EU – and the hard Brexiteer squeals just now are likely to cries into the void. The hard Brexiteers, for all their media ubiquity, just don’t have the numbers in parliament for a hard Brexit. That’s been clear since they lost in December on the “meaningful vote”. Theresa May is keeping them onside as long as possible for party unity, but eventually – whether at Checkers this week or at one minute to midnight on deadline day – she will go for the best deal available for British business. Yes, business – remember that?
Johnson’s “f*** business” notwithstanding, the Conservatives pride themselves as being the party of business. Ignoring business pleas for a soft Brexit would turn the Tories into a party of the ideological right, not the realistic, pragmatic middle. With Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader, the middle ground is there for the taking – or centrist Tories will certainly feel it is. So I just don’t see Theresa May going against UK plc when push comes to shove, despite the rhetoric.
Theresa May seems to me of the sensible pragmatist strain of traditional Tory. She is also I think, though I’m not her biggest fan, or a fan at all in fact, someone who feels a serious sense of duty to her country, not just her party. I think she’s gone way too far already in trying to appease the Brexiteers for the sake of the party; she will have to climb down on a number of high profile statements about Brexit if we are to have a deal at all. But I do think ultimately she knows what side Britain’s bread is buttered on. She will, when she finally has no other choice, disappoint the hardliners. That’s if they don’t bring her down.
Triggering a leadership election and potentially winning it is something the hard Brexiteers can potentially do. The thing is though, her replacement would be faced with the same parliamentary numbers Theresa May has and would have no better chance of uniting the Tories behind a hard Brexit. The Jacob Rees-Moggs and Bernard Jenkins of this world know that May is their best conduit to work through – they are piggy-backing on her, politically, because she commands more support from Tory MPs than they do. She knows they know. What’s going on now seems to be May edging bit by bit towards a soft Brexit and daring them to jump off. If they do, and move to unseat her as PM, it will show the game’s up for the hard Brexiters – it would be a last desperate gamble, feeling they have nothing to lose.
I’d add though to the Wren-Lewis analysis one cat that could be put amongst the Brexit pigeons – and I suspect will be, by increasingly desperate Brexiteer Tory MPs – immigration. To get the kind of trading terms we want with the EU single market, the UK will be asked to accept “free movement”. At the moment, the EU is being absolute that it would have to be the exact same kind of free movement we have now; I am not so sure it can’t be tweaked at the edges. But either way, we may well soon once more be back onto the topic of immigration. Why is this significant and a bit worrying?
The immigration issue’s key role has been confirmed by subsequent studies like the British Attitudes Survey: The Independent: BSA survey suggests immigration concerns crucial to Brexit vote. It was also clear from trackers in the months and years before the referendum was called that EU membership per se was really not a hot topic for many people, but immigration was. And recent Ipsos MORI polling shows that even now, post-Windrush, which has shifted attitudes somewhat in a pro-immigration direction, it’s still a massive issue for the public. Over half of us still want overall numbers reduced: Ipsos MORI: attitudes to immigration after the Windrush scandal.
It’s an issue over which the public sits up and takes notice, in a way it really doesn’t over the byzantine maze of trade deals, single markets and customs union arguments. Most of us don’t really know a hawk from a handsaw on those issues when we really get into the detail. We tend to say, “Get on with it and sort it out” to the politicians, which has been the refrain of Question Time audience after Question Time audience for a year and more now. But we know, or we think we do, whether we like having more or fewer people from other countries living in the UK. And we tend to have strong views on it, especially those people who feel there has been too much immigration.
So here is my Nostradamus moment on Brexit: I think immigration is going to come back into the debate, big time, and it will shake things up like no other issue has thusfar. I think it will be used by hard Brexiters as the reason why we can’t agree to close relationships with the EU on the single market and customs union. The hard Brexiters will put May under huge pressure on this, and it may also unnerve a lot of Labour MPs in Leave constituencies. The parliamentary arithmetic that favours a customs union might end up in quite a different place over single market access – and put quite a spanner in the soft Brexit works.
What’s more, this bit of messy politics will not be left to the politicians alone: the public and the press will be engaged as never before in the heated Brexit arguments.
If you thought you’d had enough of the heat, I’m sorry: it could be about to get much hotter.

Totally agree – was having this debate with my other half last night about what the EU can and can’t do. There is the ability to have different tweaks on free movement for different states; and if anything what’s happening among EU member states on free movement now makes that a glaringly undeniable reality. My own thought of where a compromise may lie is in going back to Cameron idea of a notional cap – which could be quite high – giving us (notional) “control” but actually more or less keeping free movement in reality.

I was hoping to get a quote on a simple (I think) mod for Links 2.0.
I want to be able to turn the hyperlink on or off at will from my admin area.
The idea is to charge people $50/yr to get their URL hyper link, otherwise the web sddress does not link and or/show.
Would also, liek to have the option to add a small thumbnail logo beside the link, from the admin area.
You should learn how to spell too mickey.
I can help you with this. Please send private to me for your work.
The hyperlink on/off mod is already FREELY available.
Was there really any point in bringing up an old thread for 2001?
yes, as a matter of fact there have been about 23000 posts in the Links 2.0 forums since 2001, and I imagine that at about an average 4 posts per thread, that's about 6000 threads.

Financial planning revolves around what is in our control. For example, we can’t control stock market returns, tax rates, or unexpected events, but we can plan to mitigate these risks through diversification, tax planning, and insurance. Of all the areas in financial planning, we probably have the highest degree of control over our income, expenses, and savings, making it extremely important to create a workable budget.
No two budgets look the same. You can look online for budget templates, but none will contain the categories and level of detail that fit your needs. However, creating these three basic categories will get your budget off to a great start.
These are expenses that you need to survive every month, and should include your cost of housing, minimum loan payments, utilities, groceries, and other basic needs. Everyone’s definition of needs is different (e.g. I wouldn’t consider my gym membership a need, but some would). It’s ideal to keep these expenses to less than 50% of your take home pay.
As for the wants, these comprise the part of the budget reserved for the finer things in life—things that you could live without such as dining out, new furniture, entertainment, sports, etc. It’s ideal to keep these expenses under 30% of your take home pay.
This is the part of the budget reserved for long-term goals such as setting up an emergency fund, vacations, buying a new car or house. For each goal you have, pick a date you would like to accomplish that goal, and divide that dollar amount by the number of months until that date to determine a monthly amount.
Because repaying credit card and student loan debt does not happen overnight, making additional principal payments towards any debt can also be lumped into the long-term savings goals category. By paying down loans, you are not technically savings funds, but you are reducing the amount of interest paid over the term of the loan. For debt repayment goals, it helps to set a desired payoff date, and use an amortization calculator to determine how much to budget for your goal.
You should also be setting aside a portion of your budget for retirement savings. This is especially important if you aren’t making contributions to an employer-sponsored retirement plan through payroll deductions. Using a retirement savings tool or seeing a certified financial planner can help you determine how much you need to save to achieve your retirement goals.
I find that many people actually do have a budget, but not so many are budgeting. What’s the difference? Having a budget is a great start and provides spending goals to measure your expenses against. Budgeting includes regularly tracking your expenses and updating your budget as your income and expenses change. If you aren’t tracking your expenses, how will you know if you’re achieving your spending goals? Doing this with a pen and paper, or even an Excel spreadsheet, can be extremely cumbersome.
Fortunately, there are hundreds of software tools available to help track your budget and expenses. Mint, Quicken, and YNAB are a few examples of tools that can assist you in expense tracking. Although tracking expenses can be cumbersome, it is an imperative component of budgeting that cannot be overlooked.
You’ve projected your income, broken your expenses into categories, and are tracking expenses. What happens when you’ve gone over budget? One very important part of budgeting is making sure your budget is flexible enough to absorb the impact of overspending in a category (which will happen more than you think). Let’s say you had budgeted $500 for groceries, and you check your grocery expenses after your final grocery trip of the month, and total expenses are $600.
It’s important to adjust your budget by taking the $100 you had gone over budget and reducing another spending category, or goal (i.e. reduce the amount you will spend on clothing or save for your vacation). Making your budget flexible will also help you understand the consequence of each spending decision.
Creating a workable budget includes time budgeting. You should dedicate at least 20 minutes a week to working on your budget. That’s roughly three minutes a day. I take a half hour out of every Sunday night to update our budget. Carving out the time to track and update your expenses and income will make sure you keep budgeting, rather than just have a budget you set and forget.

Will Ontario act on Law Commission's advice to address precarious work crisis?
A "landmark" report on precarious work released last week by the Law Commission of Ontario gives academic confirmation to what workers' advocates have been saying for years: that an increasing proportion of workers in Ontario (and Canada, for that matter) find themselves stuck in insecure, temporary or part-time jobs that put them barely above the poverty line. And that regulatory loopholes and shoddy enforcement of employment laws are leaving these workers vulnerable to burnout and abuse.
Roughly one fifth of workers in Ontario have precarious jobs, according to the report -- that is, jobs that provide "low wages or insufficient hours of work, few or no benefits, little job security and minimal control over their work conditions." They've counted in that number anyone whose job (or combination of jobs) earns them less than 1.5 times the minimum wage, plus two or more of the following criteria: no pension, no union and small firm size.
Precarious jobs are most common in food services, hotels, agriculture and service industries such as repair, maintenance, laundry, personal care, and business and building support services.
What is so worrying about precarious work, the report points out, is not only the growing proportion of workers who depend on it, but the fact that they're increasingly stuck in this kind of work for years on end. An entry-level position leading to better jobs down the line has become an out-of-date fantasy for many.
-Increasing employer and employee awareness of workers' existing rights under the Employment Standards Act, and improving the province's enforcement of those oft-ignored standards.
-Changes to the Employment Standards Act to better protect workers in precarious jobs.
-Awareness, enforcement and reforms to workplace health and safety legislation.
-Reform and improvement of provincial training and education programs.
For the Wynne government not to act swiftly on most or all of the report's recommendations, but rather to cherry pick a few of the easiest while ignoring the rest would be a shameful exercise in heel-dragging.
-giving all workers entitlement to 10 days of emergency personal medical leave per year (a right currently denied in workplaces with 50 or fewer employees).
On the trickier ones -- those requiring a substantial injection of public funding, or likely to provoke howls of protest from employers -- the LCO recommends more study of the options.
For instance, on the question of requiring employers to pay part-time workers at the same rate as full-time employees doing the same work, the LCO says the government should "consider what amendments could be made to the ESA" in this respect.
On the minimum wage -- which the government has frozen since 2010, with a yet-to-be-fulfilled promise that it would "appoint a committee… to provide advice on the minimum wage in advance of the 2012 budget" -- the LCO advises simply that this committee be convened. No call here to actually increase the minimum wage or index it to inflation, as other provinces have done.
The report also discusses the possibility of creating a system to provide health benefits to the many workers currently without coverage, for instance through a mandatory, multi-employer funded system similar to the WSIB. The recommendation is merely to form an advisory council that would "explore" these options.
Those who pretend to believe that precarious work is a term made up by hand-wringing socialist to decry the rise of non-unionized consultant jobs should aquaint themselves with the stories of workers whose jobs are in fact precarious. The Toronto Workers' Action Centre, which deals with these workers every day, has been collecting and sharing their stories on its website. There you can find one account after another of stolen wages and other mistreatment of people who are barely earning enough to cover their rent and bills.
What is the point of having employment laws at all, if not to protect the most vulnerable workers from abuses like this? Clearly Ontario’s current laws and enforcement system aren't up to the task. For a start, it's the least the government could do to promptly act on all of the recommendations in the LCO report.
Hundreds of New York City fast-food workers, fed up with poverty wages and abusive working conditions, walked off the job this Thursday, demanding minimum pay of $15 an hour and the right to organize and collectively bargain without fear of retaliation.

The chain says it's like trying to turn lead into gold.
You and your friends might be thrilled at MoviePass' new $10-a-month subscription service, but AMC sure isn't. According to Variety and Deadline, the theater chain is trying to find a way to block the service's users from using their subscription at its cinemas. MoviePass' revamped plan allows subscribers to watch one 2D flick a day in participating theaters, which the company says covers 91 percent of all theaters in the US. The service previously cost between $15 to $21 per month, depending on location, for only two movies a month.
The company buys tickets from theaters at full price, so AMC is finding it hard to see how it can sustain its renewed business model. "[I]t is not yet known how to turn lead into gold," AMC said in a statement. "In AMC's view, that price level is unsustainable and only sets up consumers for ultimate disappointment down the road if or when the product can no longer be fulfilled."
MoviePass explained that it's funding the venture with the $27 million it's getting by selling a 51 percent stake to data firm Helios and Matheson Analytics. It knows that it will lose money from subsidizing tickets, but it's hoping that theaters and studios will eventually sell them at discounted rates once viewers pour in -- it aims to gain 80,000 new subscribers -- and concession sales go up. That might be why AMC is opposed to the idea.
While AMC is not opposed to subscription programs generally, the one envisioned by MoviePass is not one AMC can embrace. We are actively working now to determine whether it may be feasible to opt out and not participate in this shaky and unsustainable program."
Netflix cofounder and MoviePass CEO Mitch Lowe doesn't think AMC's reaction would affect the deal his company is closing with Helios and Matheson. However, he's worried that people would think that they can't use the service for AMC's theaters from the get-go. He likened the chain's reaction to video rental services' when Redbox and streaming services started popping up. "It's the big guy being afraid of the little guy offering better value to consumers," he added. Ultimately, though, he believes MoviePass can work with studios and theaters "in a constructive manner so that everybody makes more money."

A new concept in energy harvesting could capture energy currently wasted due to its characteristic low frequency and use it to power next-generation electronic devices, according to a team of Penn State materials scientists and electrical engineers.
The project, funded by Samsung, designed a mechanical energy transducer based on flexible, organic, ionic diodes that points to scalable energy harvesting of unused mechanical energy in the environment, including that from wind, ocean waves and human motion.
Devices that harvest ambient mechanical energy and convert it into electricity are widely used to power wearable electronics, biomedical devices and the so-called Internet of Things — everyday objects that wirelessly connect to the internet. The most common of these devices, based on the piezoelectric effect, operate most efficiently at high frequency, greater than 10 vibrations per second. But at lower frequencies their performance falls off dramatically.
Additional individual support was provided by China Scholar Council and the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

I was thinking about where to get dinner with my friends this past Sunday — the person organizing said he was “taking suggestions” and I took that to heart.
So I did the first thing I usually do when I’m looking for a new restaurant: Google.
Turns out, I’m not alone. According to a Constant Contact survey, 92% of those surveyed search for a restaurant online, and 75% often chose a restaurant to dine at based on search results.
So what do you do to ensure your restaurant shows up in those search results when hungry people are looking? One way — one big way — is blogging.
Think of it this way: every time you write a new blog post, it’s one more opportunity for your business to get found online. Why? Because every new blog post you write is one more indexed page on your site — one more page for Google to identify and surface to people who are looking for the stuff you have to offer. Just having your homepage, menu, and location page aren’t enough anymore.
Think about it. Would you rather have 3 pages for Google to surface to their searchers, or hundreds?
With that story in mind, let’s take a look at a few restaurants that have jumped on the blogging bandwagon.
This is the restaurant we ended up choosing, by the way. Their blog talks about what’s going on at their restaurant — specials and events for big days like Mother’s Day, Dine Out Boston, etc.
Their blog, called Joe’s Blog, features events and specials much like Zocalo’s, but also mixes in things like recipes and tips from their chef. Their post URLs are set up correctly, each directing to a dedicated post URL.
Ever heard of ’em? Their blog is updated about once a week, sometimes a little more frequently, and focuses on what Chili’s is doing in the community, specials, meal information, and even hops in the kitchen once in a while to hear more about the food from the chefs that cook it.
This blog focuses mostly on the ingredients and food philosophy of the restaurant’s owners. Here you’ll find coverage ranging from Scandinavian cheese plates to honey collection.
Okay, so how does my restaurant start blogging?
Blogging is really easy to get started with — there’s just a few essentials to keep in mind to set you off on the right path.
1. Get your URL structure right.
Your blog should live on your website. That means you’re not starting, say, a tumblr. It’s important to keep your blog on your site because you want the traffic you drive from blogging to send people to the place they can actually learn more about your restaurant — and do things like read your menu, make a reservation, and learn where you’re located.
There are two ways to set up your blog correctly on your site — either via a subdomain, or a subdirectory. Chili’s is set up on a subdomain (blog.restaurantname.com), while Not Your Average Joe’s is set up on a subdirectory (restaurantname.com/blog). Both are fine.
2. Choose the right topics to write about.
Good blog post topics — especially when you’re first starting out with blogging — are both interesting to the reader and SEO-friendly. Think of the terms that best describe your restaurant and why people would want to come there. Think about what people might type into Google if they were searching for a restaurant like yours. Then write those terms down.
If you’re having trouble coming up with blog post topics to write about, use this free topic generator tool. Full disclosure, my colleague created this tool. But I use it all the time. It’s awesome.
You don’t need to publish content every single day to your blog. But try to get something up once a week, at least. It doesn’t have to be long, nor does it have to be perfect. But the more you do it, the more Google will identify you as a possible search result to deliver to its users. Which means you’re creating more opportunities for yourself to get a new customer.
We’ll be posting more in subsequent weeks on the subject of growing your restaurant business through blogging. Stay tuned.

IES has been an absolute pleasure to work with and has made this transition a real partnership which was something we lacked with our prior service. We have had a couple of contractors that needed some hand holding and IES has been fantastic with the communication and just handling the situations. This experience has been a breath of fresh air for me and my team. Thank you and again, I appreciate our partnership.

IES’s implementation has been so efficient and smooth! It has been such a seamless process working with your organization. I appreciate it, and am very impressed.

China attaches great importance to Pakistan's request for a seat on the UN Security Council, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Wednesday.
China supports Pakistan playing a bigger part in maintaining international peace and security, Jiang said at a daily press briefing, noting that China and Pakistan are all-weather strategic partners.
Pakistan voiced its desire to have a seat on the UN Security Council at the 66th General Assembly session in September.
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said the process of UN Security Council reforms "must be worked in a manner that will reinforce the confidence of the peoples of the world in this body and enhance its credibility and effectiveness."
The UN Security Council consists of five permanent members, including China, France, Russia, the United States and Britain, and 10 other non-permanent members that are elected for two-year terms.
