What happens when the audience has a tendency to forget that the characters aren't being presented with the same information, view, and experience with the genre that the audience has.
In cases of Audience Awareness Advantage, things that are so utterly embedded in the public consciousness that everyone is assumed to know them wind up being applied to the characters as well, since obviously they're people too. Things the viewer takes for granted because they've been presented to them in an obvious way seem like they should be obvious to the character too, even if there's no real reason to think this. In addition, things the audience sees coming plainly because they're genre tropes we've been exposed to all our lives probably aren't quite so obvious to characters that have no clue they're living in a comic book or crime drama or action film. Finally, the viewer is only ever shown those snapshots of the characters' lives which are most relevant to the plot, which means that, just like people in the real world, they might have other worries, activities, or interests occupying their time off-screen.
This can get especially bad with series that have run long enough that even those who have never so much as read a single issue or watched a single episode can be assumed to have a reasonable chance of knowing these things. Probably not helping are a number of comedies and unthoughtful parodies that lampshade this or take it to extremes, which can make the viewer feel like they're in on some joke the characters aren't. Making everyone and their dog aware of every single trope out there almost certainly doesn't help. ... Ahem.
Basically, if someone is saying "Oh come on, he was so obviously the Evil Overlord shapeshifted into a teenager and pretending to be your best friend for ten years all along!", they're indulging in this trope. See Viewer Stock Phrases for more examples of such.
Superman is probably the ultimate example of this, and has been for decades (since the Silver Age at the least). For instance, a remarkable number of criminals seemed to not only know that Superman was weakened by Kryptonite, but exactly what each color of Kryptonite would do... even if it was that color of Kryptonite's first time showing up. Because everyone knows Superman is hurt by Kryptonite!
But even more than that is the whole "people don't know Clark Kent is Superman wearing glasses" deal. Again, having gotten blatant enough that even characters in-universe who are in on the secret have mocked others for not getting it. And the number of times "Clark Kent and Superman are never in the same place together!" is used as evidence is almost appalling. The various means by which the writers have tried to avert, justify or otherwise play with this trope are discussed at length on the page for the trope named for this phenomenon, Clark Kenting.
Supergirl: A large number of people seem to know Supergirl is Superman's cousin rather than his girlfriend, little sister or fangirl. They know she is specifically his cousin and has his same powers and weaknesses, even in realities where they haven't made their relationship public.
In Juno, the viewers can see that Mark is simply not that enthusiastic about raising a kid and being around Juno made him feel like a "cool rock star". Everything about how Mark and Vanessa's relationship wasn't quite right was already evident from their first scene and the rest of the movie highlights it. So when Mark attempts to kiss Juno and leaves Vanessa when she was going to adopt, Juno was surprised. It was just that she either didn't realize it or chose to ignore it.
The Dark Knight Rises receives this in the conclusion; when Batman "died" at the conclusion, viewers the world over cried foul that no one in-universe noticed Bruce Wayne died at the same time, ignoring the fact that plenty of people died and disappeared at that time, so by that logic Batman could have been any of them. Then it's revealed he's actually still alive, and the viewers again demanded to know how no one recognized him, believing that the general public in Italy have all memorized the faces of wealthy Americans and spilled the beans. Especially when everyone thought he was dead anyway. For that matter, every Batman medium has to deal with the "how does anyone not know Bruce Wayne is Batman? He's rich and doesn't socialize! It must be him!"
The Lovely Bones had some fans complaining how no one suspected Harvey as Suzie's murderer - despite his creepy appearance. Suzie's very opening narration says that when the story takes place, child abduction was not a national crisis.
Shows up in the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
The plot of The Thrawn Trilogy partly relies on the fact that Darth Vader being Luke and Leia's father is not common knowledge, and in fact most people aren't even 100% sure that he's dead. With pretty much every book written later, on the other hand, the authors fall victim to this trope and act as though everyone in the galaxy has watched the films and knows everything that happened in them.
This is also the official explanation for how so many people can be skeptical of the Force in the original trilogy era when the Jedi were active a mere fifteen-to-twenty years previous in the prequels. We've seen plenty of examples of Jedi in action, but most people in the Galaxy Far Far Away haven't. Their information about Jedi and the Force, even during the prequels, amounts to stories about some religious cult that they believe are likely exaggerated and easily dismissed.
Watch episodes from the early seasons of Smallville. In the first few minutes, is there a focus on a new character, probably a teen? Then basically the remaining questions are whether he'll ingest kryptonite directly or via plants/tattoo/ etc., what sort of super power he'll sprout as a result, how quickly he'll turn evil and/or mad, how Clark will stop him and whether or not this will spawn a "What is it you aren't telling me" moment from Lex. Thanks to cultural osmosis, even someone who never watched the show could probably predict at least half the plot.
This will happen with any competitive Reality Television show, particularly those which are not of a creative nature. Viewers tend to be judgmental about players' strategic moves on Survivor, or missing small details during tasks on The Amazing Race, without taking into account that (a) teams don't get all the information we do, and aren't privy to the Confessionals and strategies of the other players, and (b), are working under massive amounts of fatigue and stress while trying to do these tasks, and tasks are not always laid out for them like they are the audience.
People with autism are more likely to have what psychologists call a "theory of mind deficit " or "mind blindness". The short play The Sally Anne Test by Simon Baron-Cohen (the cousin of a famous comic actor) invokes this as part of a psychological test designed to measure this in viewers who may have a learning disability. First, Sally and Anne are introduced, and the examiner makes sure viewers know their names. Each is carrying a basket. Sally puts a marble in her basket, puts the basket down, and exits. Anne takes the marble out of Sally's basket and puts it in her own basket. Sally returns, and viewers are asked where Sally is about to look for the marble. The viewer passes if he believes that Sally will first look in her own basket. A viewer who believes that Sally will first look in Anne's basket has mind blindness and has fallen victim to this trope. Baron-Cohen originally staged it as a puppet show; Leslie and Frith staged a production with live actors to rule out the objection that children might not attribute theory of mind to dolls.

The Victorian Laser & Skin Clinic has three clinics offering advanced solutions for acne treatment in Melbourne. If you’re wondering “can I get acne treatment in my area?”, look no further.
Acne is a common skin condition that affects a large proportion of the population. It is characterised by redness, papules, whiteheads, pimples, and blackheads. The condition is often painful due to inflammation of the skin and lesions that occur as a result of picking at the affected areas. While most commonly seen in adolescents, it is becoming more prevalent in adults.
In the majority of cases, even after the acne has subsided, the skin is left with scars and marks. An increasing number of people are seeking acne treatment in Melbourne because this skin condition is not only physically damaging, but it can also be psychologically traumatic.
There are several different types of acne but the contributing causal factors remain the same. These are thought to be: hormones, genetics, diet, psychology and bacteria.
Hormonal changes mostly occur during puberty, though they can happen at any time. These changes can cause the levels of oil, sebum, and moisture in the skin to become imbalanced – and this imbalance can result in acne.
Some people are simply more genetically predisposed to the condition than others.
Although evidence for a strong link between acne and diet isn’t conclusive, it is believed that diet plays a role in enhancing its symptoms. High fat and high sugar diets can cause the skin to become excessively oily, blocking pores and resulting in pimples.
Increased levels of stress can cause acne flares.
Is acne treatment available around me?
With clinics situated across the Melbourne area, there’s sure to be one nearby. Click here for more information about our locations.
At the Victorian Laser & Skin Clinic we offer microdermabrasion, skin peels, and skin needling & Enzyme Therapy for acne treatment in Melbourne. Each of these treatments work in different ways to rejuvenate the skin, stimulate skin renewal and improve complexion.

Industrial Carts…..the new coffee table!
I fell in love with these industrial carts the minute I saw them. They have so much character! I love the way the wood has so much wear and tear. These babies have been working! Look at the hardware! It’s so chunky and heavy. I love that the wheels will move. You can just use it as an industrial cart in your own home! Move that furniture….it’s been in that position for, like, 2 months already!!
I just love all the detail on this end of the cart. It’s just fun to look at……go ahead, take a peek!
I know you want one. I NEED one! We just got rid of the “coffee table” we had….it was literally falling apart. I can’t wait to load it up in my car tomorrow. Kolby, get it ready!
Here are the details for your custom coffee table. Call the store and we can hold one for you!
Southern Accents has acquired a large grouping of matching dock carts made of white oak with heavy duty perforated cast iron truck or cart wheels. The factory floor transfer carts or trucks were used in material handling throughout the factory and/or near loading docks. Manufactured by Wilkesboro Lineberry, Inc., SC. The surface areas contain a great distressed and aged patina from years of heavy use or can be sandblasted and oiled to customer specs. These carts can come stationary or free moving.
One more idea before I let you go……kitchen island….this could be the base, add something cool on top for the legs and then place a butcher block on top! Perfect cart for the kitchen….move it wherever you need it! Ugh!!! Now I need 2!
I finally got to hold one of these. It is so light! I was so excited about that for some reason!
A little history…..I love the history!
The molds are not molds, they are patterns, which create molds. They came from the Wheland Factory in Chattanooga, Tn which went under in 2005. The company’s foundries specialize in the making of brake components for the automotive industry and include two gray iron foundries and two ductile iron foundries. Wheland has for years been considered one of America’s largest foundry companies, with roots going back to 1866. The company’s facilities have a combined melting capacity of 190 tons per hour, and the company boasts that nearly half of all cars assembled in the U.S. contain one or more Wheland components.
I never imagined them being so light. They are also VERY thick! We only have 3 left!!!!! I decided not to bring those three home with me. I will let one of you make the purchase. I think we might get a few more….crossing my fingers! I definitely want to get several. I have lots of brick walls in my house and think a grouping of them would look really cool hanging together. Another really cool idea is to place a picture in the center……seriously? How cool would that be? Again, you could group them on a wall and add pictures to some of them….maybe not all. OH MY! I may have to bring those 3 home!!! I actually want like 5. That way I could do pictures in 3 and then 2 stay empty. Ok, so that means, I have to get more. I am calling the place tomorrow. I will see if I can get some pictures printed and stick them inside so you can see what I’m talking about. I also think adding different fabric or even, hold on to your hat, scrapbook paper to the center would be amazing. I love when one idea comes to mind and then several just follow, don’t you?
Ok, I told you I would find something cool to do with these besides just put it in the middle of the table with fruit or your favorite collection. Call the store to get yours ASAP!!
We are often working with different restaurants. Sometimes they are existing and need a face lift. Most of the time, they are new restaurants or opening new locations. We specialize in salvaged items. This makes for a great cozy feeling in a restaurant. Most establishments want you to feel at home and “comfortable” in their space. We have used everything from salvaged wood on the floors and ceilings to ceiling tiles and old wooden doors hanging on the walls.
O’Henry’s is a coffee shop in Birmingham, Alabama. Actually, they have 4 locations. The newest member to the family is at Brookwood. This location is amazing. They needed essential things like flooring and walls and we helped them find unique pieces like these doors hanging from chains! I love the way this wall turned out! All three doors are similar in style. The bright colors make them each unique. They are all different sizes, too!
The wainscoting on the back of the booths is from an old gym floor. You can see the red paint in some of the pieces. It’s also in the bottom of each chair of the booth. The tables are all different doors. Each one is very unique. You can see the leg of the table on the right is an old post. So much character in one place!
We did the antique mantel and the newel post in this picture. Doesn’t this look like a great place to have a cup of joe?
The old door and the trim for the bathroom was done at Southern Accents. Notice the wainscoting, again…..gym flooring!
On the back patio, you will see a pergola that was built by Ryan Walker. Ryan does timber framing. He did an incredible job on this. Notice how the top rafters are chamfered. This is a new word for me. I had to look it up in the dictionary. Here’s what I got….and I love it!
He built the pieces to this structure at one of our warehouses and brought it all to Birmingham to put together. I think I will go and sit in one of those green chairs with my coffee! Who wants to meet me there?
We are always talking BIG at Southern Accents. We have lots of builders and designers coming by for new construction or remodeling. Some of my favorite customers are the ones that come through looking for one special thing. Sometimes they have no idea what that item is. I love helping them find it! Repurposing is one of my most favorite things to do.
For instance, using a window as a window is very smart. Using an old window for decoration or a picture frame is very fun! Halloween is the perfect time to dig out an old window or come to Southern Accents to dig through our HUGE selection of windows! I honestly couldn’t even guess how many we have. It would take me all day to count them! I am going back to the warehouse this afternoon to find one. The perfect one. I want to place it over my mantel for Halloween! I can’t wait to find a few spooky things to go with it. I think I will go to Spirit and get the fake spider webs and a few bats to add to the ambiance of it. I have a Halloween banner that I made last year. That will have to go on the mantel somewhere. I may even find an old set of shutters. What if you had some old pictures you could add? Maybe they could be peeking out from behind the shutters. You know what kind of old pictures I’m talking about, right? The ones where no one is smiling? Yeah, why didn’t they smile? I hate pictures where no one is smiling.
I’ve been digging around the web, looking at some of my favorite bloggers this weekend and getting very inspired. There is so much inspiration out there. I can’t wait to share!
Just a couple of ideas to get you started. If you are in the area or need a field trip, come visit our great city. You can have lunch and stop by the store!

First, let me thank my Skin Care Organic Family for sending this soap over along with some skin goodies. I actually have five more soaps to review soon but for today, let me share to you my thoughts about Skin Care Organic Cocoon Soap. I know you are surprised to hear that the organic world is now infusing cocoon silk to skin care products. It is not my first time encountering an extraordinarily weird yet beneficial product--the first one is the Bee Venom. But..really, cocoon? I, myself, hardly believe it until SCO sent me one. And they are really cocoon shells! Amazeballs!
By the way, for your information, cocoon silks are known to greatly exfoliate skin, making it soft and smooth. It also stimulates skin for improved collagen production and helps wipe away wrinkles.
Claims: For acne prone skin, made with tea tree extract to fight pimple-causing bacteria and silk cocoo for mild exfoliation. Silk cocoon imparts sericin to the skin, a protein made by silk worms. It also promotes collagen production for smoother, youthful skin. A beauty and anti-acne soap in one. 100% natural soap and is handmade with love.
The first time I saw this soap, I can't get myself to use this. I mean it is just too cute to ruin. Whatcha think? I was first confused with those hollowed-out shells inside the hardened soap then I realized they are real cocoons. I actually thought they were just extracts, but we were provided with real ones so the benefits that you will get are not synthetic. I tried cutting this soap into sections, but mind you, do not try, as they are pretty hard to break. However, when you let the water sip through, you will eventually find out that it can soften as well and that's what makes it a good exfoliator especially on more sensitive parts of the face area. Obviously, there are hardened soap stuck inside the cocoons so you might want to cut the softened shells to emit the soap which you an still use.
This soap has an almost strong scent, probably because of Tea Tree Extract which is good for acne/pimple-prone skin. Luckily, this soap does not melt easily on soap dishes. It suds gently too and is non-drying. If I am not mistaken, this is the first soap nfor acne-prone skin which is not at all drying. In fact, it is so hydrating--thanks to Glycerin!
Using this soap for a period of one month, I would say that it does not really control breakouts. In fact, on my first week of use, I developed tiny bumps on the face. I hinted it was because of the Tea Tree Extract which always fails to work for my pimple-prone skin. On a lighter note, this works well for my body as it immediately gives a soft, smooth, clean and hydrated layer! Now, if your skin reacts well to Tea Tree Extract, you might want to give this a try!
'Til my next post! Happy blogging!

Civil Administration demolishes temporary structures erected by Palestinian Arab activists near illegal Bedouin outpost of Khan al-Ahmar.
The Civil Administration on Thursday morning demolished five structures erected by Palestinian Arab activists near the illegal Bedouin outpost of Khan al-Ahmar, which is slated for demolition.
Palestinian Arab media claimed that the security forces had begun evacuating the outpost itself, but the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories stressed that, contrary to the reports, only temporary structures placed nearby had been demolished and the evacuation and demolition of the actual outpost had not yet begun.
The structures that were demolished were erected in recent days and housed activists living outside the outpost.
Khan al-Ahmar was built in the 1990s on land belonging to the Israeli town of Kfar Adumim east of Jerusalem. The encampment is home to some 170 Bedouin, who have expanded the community in recent years with the aid of foreign governments.
Israeli courts approved the outpost’s demolition, but in July the Supreme Court froze plans to evacuate Khan al-Ahmar, pending an appeal by residents.
Israeli security forces had been preparing for the planned demolition, which was set to commence just hours before the court intervened.
Last week, however, the Supreme Court ruled against the residents, rejecting their claims and clearing the way for Khan al-Ahmar’s evacuation.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) announced on Tuesday that it had filed a war crimes suit against Israel following the Supreme Court's decision to allow the evacuation of Khan al-Ahmar.

The Memphis Grizzlies assigned former UConn star Hasheem Thabeet to its NBA D-League affiliate, the Dakota Wizards, it was announced Thursday.
Thabeet, the second overall selection in the 2009 NBA Draft, is the highest-drafted NBA player to play for a D-League team. He averaged 2.5 points and 2.9 rebounds in 10.3 minutes in 50 games with Memphis this season.
The 7-foot-3 Tanzania native played three seasons for UConn, averaging 10.3 points and 8.5 rebounds in 100 career games. He was the Big East Co-Player of the Year and Big East Defensive Player of the Year in 2009 and was a two-time NABC National Defensive Player of the Year.
UConn phenoms Maya Moore and Tina Charles are two of the 30 midseason candidates for the Women’s Naismith Trophy.
Moore was the 2009 winner of the award, which recognizes the best player in women’s college basketball. She would be the sixth back-to-back winner in its history.
The Atlanta Tipoff Club’s Board of Selectors, a group of basketball journalists, votes on the recipient, whose name will be announced at the Final Four in San Antonio.
Previous UConn winners include Diana Taurasi (2004, 2003), Sue Bird (2002) and Rebecca Lobo (1995).
ESPN will begin airing a new series on the Huskies women’s basketball team Friday on ESPNU.
The 30-minute, four-part show, “The Climb: UConn’s Quest for Perfection,” will air at 3:30 and 11:30 p.m. The show offers an all-access view of the team through the words of its coach and players.
The first episode will feature ESPN’s College GameDay visit to Storrs in January, Tina Charles’ induction into the “Huskies of Honor” and segments on the sophomore class and the contributions of the bench.

Use DNA sequencing to shed light on hereditary gene mutations and help individuals take precautionary steps to manage their risk or developing cancer in the future.
LumiRISKTM is a multi-cancer test that detects 28 genes commonly associated with increased risk of cancer.
As a single mutant gene affects the risk of cancer in several organs, LumiRISK™‘s comprehensive coverage of 28 genes helps to identify an individual’s risks of developing cancer across multiple organs in one blood test.
With a better understanding of their genetic or inherited risk of cancer, the LumiRISK™ test helps individuals to understand whether they may benefit from additional / dedicated or better-tailored screening and preventive measures. Understand where you may be at risk or may be at a heightened risk.
How does LumiRISKTM test for multiple hereditary cancer risks with a single blood test?
LumiRISKTM tests for a panel of 28 genes through a standard blood sample.
Each gene in the panel is known to elevate the risk of developing one or more types of cancer in individual male and female. Hence, by covering a range of genes in one panel, Lucence Diagnostics are able to provide a multi-cancer risk assessment in one test.
Understanding the Risk of Cancer with the Family ?
LumiRISKTMis a multi-cancer risk assessment test that detects mutations in a panel of 28 genes commonly associated with increased cancer risks.
Having a gene mutation does not indicate the presence of cancer.
But it does mean you can do something about it.
Focus on hereditable cancers - that can be passed from parent to child.
Clinically significant based on studies.
Identified mutations will indicate higer cancer risks than general population.
LumiRISK is not a test for the presence of cancer, but is a test to help understand if you have inherited a genetic mutation, which may increase your chances of developing cancer in your lifetime.
If your LumiRISK result comes back as showing that you have inherited a genetic mutation, the most important thing to remember is that this does not mean that you will definitely develop cancer in the future.
What it does mean, however, is that you have just given yourself the ability to work with a medical professional to develop a tailored screening programme with a dedicated focus on the risk that you have uncovered. By illuminating the risk, you give yourself the ability to develop a medical and screening strategy to combat the potential risk.
Are you concerned about the risk? of cancer in your family?
Have several of your close relatives have had cancer?
Has three been an uncommon cancer type in the family?
Have any of your relatives shared the same type of cancer, especially if first diagnosed at a young age?
Cancer is caused by errors (called mutations) in our genes. Genes control how cell in our body divide and grow.
When a mutation occurs in these genes, our body cells work less well. As we age, or with unhealthy lifestyles, mutations occur more often and add up over time. As a result, some of our body cells may become cancer. That is why most cancers develop in older people.
inherited cancers are cancers that run in the family. Such cancers occur when one gene mutation is passed from one genereation to another.
Having these mutations does not mean you will get cancer. However, they do increase the risk of cancer. This is one reason why cancer can occur ar a younger age or appear more often in some families. In inherited cancers, gene mutations can be passed down from either fathter, mother, or even both parents, Someone who is born with a gene mutation will have a higher cancer risk.
Am I at Risk fo Inherited Cancer?
Many people know of one or serveral relatives with cancer. Most of these are related to age or lifestyle facetors such as smoking.
However, if these relatives are young, or share the same cancer type, this could be a sign of inherited cancer. If you have such concerns, do consult your doctor. Such discussions would involve assessing your cancer risks and managing preventive risks for you and your family. Geetic testing can also help with risk evaluation if needed.
Find out if you or your family are at increased risk of some types of?cancer.
Choose suitable ways to prevent and reduce cancers. This can be?done by determining risk, followed by appropriate cancer screening?or other medical methods.
Genetic testing can help doctors to give you a more accurate assessment. However, having risks for inherited cancer does not mean cancer.
For example, a woman with a 60% chance of developing cancer may remain free of cancer. Another woman with a lower 10% chance of developing breast cancer is still at risk, and may develop cancer.

Young people should stop taking selfies together in order to avoid catching head lice, a Russian government agency has advised.
Selfies, in which several people often cram together to get into an arms-length photo, allows lice to jump from one head to another, said Rospotrebnadzor, a government body which advises on well-being.
While they are not the first group to suggest that selfies cause the spread of head lice, Rospotrebnadzor has a reputation for making controversial suggestions.
Former head Gennady Onishchenko once suggest killing crows, describing them as ‘feathered wolves which spread bird flu’. He also played a major role in banning food and drink imports from countries unpopular with the Kremlin.
Some Russians, therefore, have taken the recent piece of advice with a pinch of salt.

You don't need to be MacGyver to get creative with how to use duct tape in your travels. Got a busted backpack? Duct tape can help. Is your bottle of sunblock leaking? Slap a little tape on it. Smart uses for duct tape on vacation are almost endless.
If your bag comes off the luggage carousel with a rip in the side or a damaged handle, use duct tape for a quick repair. This will get you and your bag through the airport -- or maybe even the rest of your trip -- without your underwear spilling out or the handle breaking off completely.
What if the hotel's blackout curtain doesn't quite cover every part of the window, or the TV has an annoyingly bright green light even when it's turned off? You can duct tape the curtain to the wall or stick a little piece of tape over the light to bring full darkness to your room.
Oops -- a stray branch tore a hole in your rain poncho while hiking through the woods. Stay dry by patching it with a piece of duct tape. Is the hem of your pants starting to unravel? Tape it up from the inside until you can get home and stitch it up yourself.
You can also fix shoes with duct tape. It can cover a hole in the toe from the inside or temporarily seal a sole that's starting to detach. Duct tape may not be the most fashionable option when it comes to clothes, but it'll last you until you can get to a store and buy something new.
During the first international trip I ever took with my now husband, he accidentally sat on his glasses and spent the next hour fiddling with tiny screws to ensure they held together until we got home. A quicker solution would've been to slap a strip of duct tape on them and call it a day.
Who needs a lint roller when the many different uses for duct tape include peeling unwanted fuzz or pet hair off your clothes? This is particularly useful for business travelers who need to look presentable for meetings or conferences.
Don't let shampoo or sunblock seep out into the rest of your bag. If a bottle is leaking, wrap duct tape around the edge of the lid to seal it off.
If your kids are at an age that makes electrical sockets dangerous to their tiny fingers, you can quickly and easily childproof your vacation digs by putting duct tape over any outlet within reach. You can also tape drawers and cabinets closed to keep them safe from prying little hands.
This one could be a literal lifesaver: In countries where fending off mosquitoes means protecting yourself from malaria or yellow fever, you can use duct tape to mend any tears in your mosquito netting or tent.
Here's hoping you never find yourself in a hotel fire, but if you did, duct tape might (again) save your life. You can use duct tape to seal off the door jamb if smoke comes billowing in while you wait for rescue. You can also put duct tape over any air vents that might blow in smoke from other parts of the building.
It's hard enough to sleep on a rocking cruise ship without hearing the scraping of closet doors and dresser drawers as they slide open and shut. Lock them in place with a strip or two of duct tape as the ship rides out the storm.

Pay Per Click or PPC is a form of online advertising where the advertiser only pays if someone clicks on their ad. PPC ads are generally just above or below the search results where they can be easily seen.
How Much Does Pay Per Click It Cost?
Joe owns a carpet cleaning business based in Asheville, NC and wants to advertise his services in Asheville and surrounding area. His ad targets the phrase “carpet cleaning”.
Google AdWords charges Joe $1.09 each time a visitor clicks on his ad.
Mike also operates a carpet cleaning business in Houston, TX. His ad targets the same phrase as Joe “carpet cleaning”. However, Google AdWords charges Mike $1.38 each time a visitor clicks because of heavy competition by similar businesses offering carpet cleaning services in Houston.
It all comes down to supply and demand for the keywords and phrases that the advertiser wishes to target. This why it is difficult for SiteWit to provide an estimate the cost of a click.

There is no greater vice than impatience. Time and time again, I have heard how humans have had to pay a great price for this vice. Be it in war, governance or infraconstruction; impatience has cost organizations a fortune.
In the infraconstruction industry, I have seen, municipalities have been the most impatient of all. Even until now, they seek to reduce infrastructure costs by cutting costs at every corner they can. Just like contractors cut materials on every nook and corner to save extra money; municipalities attempt save on each and every phase of construction; right from design to project completion, without realizing that the only way to achieve this, is by reducing project’s quality.
They demand the designer and contractor to develop lean methods to complete projects at reduced prices, but forget that the only way for them to do so, is by lowering their work’s quality. Because after all, contractors never accept risk; they only price it. They also forget, that this low quality work will not only cost them today, but also tomorrow. Because a project built today will need maintenance for another 50-60 years. Just like the human body requires constant nourishment throughout its life to keep it fit, healthy and free of diseases. Similarly, an infraconstruction project after being built, requires constant maintenance to keep it functional and running.
Contractors never accept risk. Instead they price it.
In the industry, we often use the proverb: fix an error in design; it will cost you a euro. Fix an error in construction; it will cost you 10€. Fix an error in maintenance; it will cost you a 100 €.
This means, that if the municipality tries to save money during the designing phase, by asking the designer to work less hours on their design, so that they can save a euro. They forget that they are actually risking 10 €, which they will eventually have to pay during construction phase, to fix the errors made during designing phase, because of hurried work.
Similarly, if they try to save that 10 €, during the construction phase, they will eventually have to pay 100 € in the maintenance phase to fix that same error.
This industry insight is further validated by this research (international journal of technology enhancements and emerging engineering research), which has found, that when designers design unsound structures, and contractors construct poor construction. This eventually leads to structures that will experience need for total maintenance, within a very short span of time.
How much does maintenance really cost us?
In a report published by citylab; roads in America, need about $45.2 billion every year in maintenance, to keep them in a good state. But they currently only spend $16.5 billion in maintenance, while they spend a whooping $20.4 billion in new construction. Unsurprisingly, their older roads, bridges and other infrastructure are getting worse. And the new ones are approaching a state of repair.
This clears one fact, that what we build today; we will have to maintain tomorrow. Therefore, just continuing to build more infrastructure, and that too with reduced quality as the municipality aims to do, will only add up to our miseries.
Now if we couple this report with another study published by TCMA (best practices for infrastructure cost reduction strategies), which indicates that a road which required a dollar for maintenance four years ago, while it was in a ‘good’ state; will require five dollars four years later, when it reaches the ‘very poor’ state.
This means that if we leave our infrastructure as they are today, without maintaining them. We are heading towards a tomorrow, that will need five times more investment to maintain the same asset, which required just one yesterday.
Consider the below diagram, which is suggestive of how a simple error in design, that would only cost a euro to correct at the start, will lead to massive problems costing 500 times more.
We can only imagine now, what the condition of our infrastructure will be tomorrow, if we continue to build with ‘cheapest is the best’ approach. And try to save on costs by reducing the quality of our design and construction.
This approach will lead us to a future, which has the highest number of dilapidated infrastructure, which will need so much investment to repair, that it will be beyond our financial reach.
The simplest solution to this problem, as we have seen above, is to aim to have the best quality at each stage of construction; be it design, construction or maintenance. This way we will ensure, that we gain maximum time, before our infrastructure reach a state of disrepair. And when they reach that state of disrepair, we repair them with best quality.
At first, this approach might mean, that we won’t make savings the old harmful way; by cutting costs at every nook and corner. But let us not forget, that we will make massive savings in the maintenance stage, which as we have seen above bears the maximum cost in infrastructure.
And more of, it is not that we cannot make savings in design and construction stages. We can. It is just that, we will have to change the tools we use to make those savings. The best way to do that - one that has no side effects - is by using information management tools like Infrakit. Many municipalities and construction companies have already successfully made substantial savings using these tools. The next organization to take home those massive savings could be yours.
If you are curious about, how you could make enormous savings, and still have the best quality infrastructure. Read this detailed guide. Jero’s SASI (Solutions for all solutions in infrastructure). Jero’s SASI is a step by step guide, that will make you a pro in making savings in every project you undertake.
To conclude, I would say that building the cheapest quality infrastructure to save money is the worst way to save money. Instead we should aim to build the best quality infrastructure, and aim to save money using information management tools, that guarantee +30% savings.


text: abstract	 This work aimed at characterizing the metabolome of the isopod Porcellionides pruinosus and at assessing its variations over 14 days under laboratory culture conditions and upon exposure to the contaminant metal Nickel (Ni). The spectral profiles obtained by H-1 NMR spectroscopy were thoroughly assigned and subjected to multivariate analysis in order to highlight consistent changes. Over 50 metabolites could be identified, providing considerable new knowledge on the metabolome of these model organisms. Several metabolites changed non-linearly with Ni dose and exposure time, showing distinct variation patterns for initial (4 days) and later time points (7 and 14 days). In particular, at day 4, several amino acids were increased and sugars were decreased (compared to controls), whereas these variations were inverted for longer exposure, possibly reflecting earlier and more intensive moulting. Other variations, namely in betaines and choline-containing compounds, were suggested to relate with osmoregulation and detoxification mechanisms. Ni also had a marked effect on several nucleotides (increased upon exposure) and a moderate impact on lipids (decreased upon exposure). Overall, this study has provided new information on the Ni-induced metabolic adaptations of the P. pruinosus isopod, paving the way for improved mechanistic understanding of how these model organisms handle soil contamination. Significance: This study provided, for the first time to our knowledge, a detailed picture of the NMR-detectable metabolome of terrestrial isopods and of its fluctuations in time and upon exposure to the contaminant metal Nickel. Several time- and dose-dependent changes were highlighted, providing mechanistic insight into how these important model organisms handle Ni contamination. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

J.C. Philpot - Ears From Harvested Sheaves, or, Daily Portions - Devotional for March 30.
"My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me!" Still, if we see and feel a deficiency in these points in ourselves and others, and, comparing our hearts, lips, and lives with the word of truth, must plead guilty, shall this utterly discourage us? No. This very discouragement may prove of service to us. It is good, at times, to be discouraged; because it makes us learn that "without Christ we can do nothing," and that it is only by his grace that we can produce fruit to his glory. It is, therefore, good to see and feel our barrenness and unfruitfulness; for it is this very sight and sense of our own want of fruit that leads us in earnest desires to the Lord Jesus Christ to work in us to will and to do of his own good pleasure.

9 months of spotting or heavy periods on Depo Shot?
I'm planning on changing my form of contraception but after getting the shot and finding out its not as good as expected I'm a bit unsure on what to do.
It can take 2 or 3 shots to stop the bleeding & other hormonal side effects, But it sounds as though this is not going to happen for you. Depo Provera doesn't suit some women. You've given it long enough to see if it will settle down.
You may be better with a form of contraception that contains oestrogen/estrogen, rather than just progesterone.
Depo-Provera - How long does the depo last?
Depo shot with period symptoms and spotting brown?
Got off the Depo shot about 2 months ago. And I have had 3 periods! The first one, had all the?
Hi girls , I am on the depo Provera for 3 years now with no periods or any spotting . Nearly 3 week?
Depo-Provera - I’ve been on my shot for about 7/8 months and I immediately stopped having periods?

Nowadays, when the world moves forward at a frantic pace and everything develops extremely, studying is especially important. It ensures this development, opens the doors for the young people, and builds the future. Most students choose the institutions inside their countries. It is more comfortable because of several reasons. It is noticeable cheaper; it is easier because of the language and cultural equality; it is less stressful to study somewhere near home. However, studying abroad discovers the new world for the students. They become familiar with another culture, the borders between different mentality blurred, and the opportunities become more variable.
If you decided to go study abroad, good for you. It is a big and a brave decision that will change your life cardinally. Now it is time to prepare for this milestone and the next recommendations will help you with that.
The first thing you should do is to research your destination. It may sound obvious, but you have to know what to expect from the new home. Look for the extended information from the books and paper writing service, not only what Wikipedia says. You have to know the emergency numbers, the ways to get around and how to use public transportation, the nearest hospitals, the parking. Everything that can help you to be accustomed to the new surroundings. When doing your research, pay additional attention to the local customs and the laws. It can help you out if you are in trouble.
Get familiar with the program and courses you may apply for. As a rule, if you go study abroad, there are different language courses for the students. Or maybe you are interested in evening courses, additional online courses, some sports activities. You have to know where you can get a writing help, a professional support, recommendations about studying, and so on.
If you want to go studying abroad, you have to be ready for the big volume of the paperwork. Make sure that you know exactly what you need to avoid facing the problems in the airport or after arriving. You may need a filled Application form and other supporting documents, an insurance, a visa, and your passport.
The next step that you have to do is to inform the bank, the insurance company, and the other interested parties that you are going to go abroad for a long period. Otherwise, you risk getting in the situation when your bank refuses to give your money as it thinks that someone tries to steal it from you. It is crucially important to leave with your parents or friends the photocopies of your passport, visa, itinerary, application, and other documents. This may save your life in case you lose some of your documents.
The language barrier is the very tough thing. Make sure that you know the language where are you going to go, at least on the basic level. It will help you find new friends, to merge into the new society, to ask the local essay writing service like yourwriters.net to help you with an academic writing.
Once you are abroad, ask the local people about their favorites. Thus, you will be able to get familiar with the local attractions, the cuisine, the entertaining places, etc.
When you study abroad, the international student organizations can help you a lot. Join them before leaving your country to make sure that you have someone to help you just in case.
No matter how interesting and fun your new friends can be, do not forget your purpose of being there. Do not neglect your studying. Remember about the prioritizing motto – between the short-term pleasure and the long-term advantage, choose the second one.
Finally, keep the travel journal. Describe the situations and surroundings, the interesting places, the experience. You can put the pictures in there, the pieces of your writing paper, some notes, or small stuff related to your journey. You will love it in the future.

An impacted tooth simply means that it is “stuck” and cannot come into the mouth and function properly. Patients frequently develop problems with impacted third molar (wisdom) teeth. These teeth get “stuck” in the back of the jaw and can develop painful infections, among a host of other problems (see Wisdom Teeth under Procedures). Since there is rarely a functional need for wisdom teeth, they are usually extracted if they develop problems. The maxillary cuspid (upper eyetooth) is the second most common tooth to become impacted. The cuspid tooth is a critical tooth and plays an important role in your bite. The cuspid teeth are very strong biting teeth and have the longest roots of any human teeth. They are designed to be the first teeth that touch when your jaws close together so they guide the rest of the teeth into the proper bite.
Normally, the maxillary cuspid teeth are the last of the front teeth to erupt into the mouth. They usually come into place around age 13 and cause any space left between the upper front teeth to close tighter together. If a cuspid tooth gets impacted, every effort is made to get it to erupt into its proper position. The techniques involved to aid eruption can be applied to any impacted tooth in the upper or lower jaw, but most commonly they are applied to the maxillary cuspid (upper eye) teeth. Sixty percent of these impacted eyeteeth are located on the palatal (roof of the mouth) side of the dental arch. The remaining impacted eye teeth are found in the middle of the supporting bone, but are stuck in an elevated position above the roots of the adjacent teeth, or are out to the facial side of the dental arch.
Over 40 years old – much higher chance that the tooth will be fused in position. The only option is to extract the impacted tooth and replace it with a crown on a dental implant, a removable partial denture or a fixed bridge.
In cases where the eyeteeth will not erupt spontaneously, the orthodontist and Dr. Burns will work together to get these teeth to erupt. Each case must be evaluated on an individual basis, but treatment will usually involve a combined effort between the two doctors. Dr. Burns will expose and attach an orthodontic bracket to the impacted eyetooth, and the orthodontist will attach the bracket to the rest of the orthodontic hardware and gently move the tooth into the mouth.
The surgery to expose and bracket an impacted tooth is a very straightforward surgical procedure that is performed in an oral surgeon’s office. For most patients, it is performed using laughing gas and local anesthesia. In selected cases, it will be performed under IV anesthesia if the patient desires to be asleep, but this is generally not necessary for this procedure. If the procedure only involves exposing the tooth with no bracketing, the time required may be shortened. These issues will be discussed in detail at your preoperative consultation with Dr. Burns.
Simply call us at Geist Oral & Facial Surgery Phone Number 317-823-4260 if you have any questions.

Is Ubisoft's first Wii U game going to be an MMO. A recent batch of job listings hints that it's a strong possibility.
Right now, most game companies are staying rather quiet about what projects they're working on for Nintendo's Wii U console. That said, clues are starting to surface about what Ubisoft's got planned for the system, and the early signs point to a pretty big MMO.
Yesterday, Emile Gauthier tweeted the following message, along with a link to Ubisoft's Facebook page, which contained some job listings: "Ubisoft Quebec is working on a NEW AAA MMORPG Game and we need people to fill these very strategic positions."
There are also some slightly older positions for MMO jobs, like an animation director and gameplay programmer for an MMO.
As a result of these job openings, the Internet Rumor Mill is starting to work itself into a fury. It's certainly possible that these positions could have been listed for work on the same project, or they could be totally unrelated. Even if Ubisoft isn't working on a Wii U MMO, that means it's got a couple of unannounced - and big - projects in the works.

At the Open Knowledge Foundation Deutschland we’ve been advocating for rules and regulation that open up closed systems and processes in areas such as data governance, financial transparency and algorithmic accountability. However, as a small organization that largely runs on project grants and individual donations, we don’t have the resources to run large-scale advocacy campaigns. The key to success for us has been to rely on a combination of law, tech and crowd to address some of the most important policy issues in our field. Here are two examples to illustrate how we work.
The German Bundestag is the place where laws are made - or so it should be. In reality, most laws are drafted by ministry officials before the draft laws are then given to the Bundestag for debate. While ordinary citizens have virtually no influence throughout the entire law-making process, lobby groups get to comment on the various versions of the laws even during the drafting stages. Once the laws are published it’s nearly impossible to tell to what extent the laws have been shaped by lobbyists as none of the various draft versions nor the submissions of the lobby groups are ever made public.
In 2017 we set out to change this practice. We called on ministries to publish all relevant documents in an easily accessible database and in re-usable formats. When we realized that we wouldn’t be successful with our plea, we launched an online portal that listed more than 17,000 documents from the years of 2013 to 2017 ranging from different draft versions of laws to the written statements and submissions of lobbyists. We then asked citizens to file freedom of information requests for each of the documents by simply clicking a button placed next to the individual documents. Once people received the requested documents, they were asked to upload them to a publicly accessible repository.
Days after the launch of the portal, the number of requests skyrocketed and quickly reached more than 1,500. The government soon faced a massive amount of requests, and we were called to a meeting with government officials in which we were informed that in a joint decision taken by all ministries, they would release all 17,000 documents. What’s more, the new government that came into office earlier this year even [committed to set up their own online platform that would provide access to a range of documents] to increase transparency in the lawmaking process.
Schufa Holding is Germany’s leading credit scoring agency. The company has data on close to 70 million people in Germany, which is virtually everyone aged 18 or older. The data comes from various sources, such as banks and telecommunication companies, and is used to calculate a rating, the so-called Schufa score. A low Schufa score means landlords will refuse you renting an apartment, banks will reject your credit card application and network providers will decline your new phone contract.
The Schufa score is generated by proprietary mathematical formulas. While citizens can access their individual scores, the algorithm itself is not accessible to the public. But what if your the score is low because of an error in the data collection and entry process? Or what if the mathematical model itself is flawed and discriminatory?
In February 2018, in partnership with Algorithm Watch, we launched Open Schufa to shed light on the algorithm that is used to calculate the individual scores. To do so we crowdsourced data from thousands of citizens who were willing to submit their individual scores to help us reverse-engineer the algorithm. With a group of credit scoring and data protection experts we’re now in the process of analyzing the data to see if we can bring greater transparency into the Schufa algorithm.
While the project is still on-going, we’ve already been successful in initiating a public debate about Schufa’s algorithm specifically and credit-scoring as well as closed algorithms and their impact more broadly. What’s more, in the past weeks we’ve been invited to meetings with various government agencies to explore ways to increase transparency and accountability in algorithmic decision-making.
By combining these three assets we are able to empower citizens, to make government more responsive and to bring transparency into opaque systems.
While it may not be applicable across all countries and sectors, we hope that other organizations working in similar contexts and facing similar constraints will the lessons we learned helpful. Get in touch if you want to talk. We’re always keen to learn about similar initiatives.

With or without our realisation, the arts play a massive part in our lives. Whether we join the countless Australians who see live performances or just listen to our favourite playlists in our cars, the arts are a fundamental component of a good life.
In 2016, the Australia Council conducted an Australia-Wide Survey, with the goal of seeing just how many Australians engaged directly with the arts. The result was genuinely astonishing. Australians from all different walks of life – across gender, culture, and backgrounds – participate and engage with the arts on some level.
While these figures are relatively consistent with previous surveys, one of the critical differences highlights the impact of new technologies on the experiencing and making of arts. Indeed, the golden age of technology we find ourselves diving into is also a golden age of art, with one perhaps helping the other strive perpetually forward.
Focusing on the statistics though, it is clear that the arts are massively important to Australians as a whole. Why then, one might ask, are they consistently under attack? If the arts are so beloved, as this survey shows, why is there constant attempts to vilify them? If the arts bring such a boon to the country’s economy, as our previous articles have covered, why are their support bases methodically dismantled? Honestly, it beats me.
Think about it, you engage with the arts in one way or another. Now, imagine that you no longer could. If you only listen to music, visualise that all of it was gone. If you go out and see shows, imagine that there were no more of them. Life would be a little less enjoyable, wouldn’t it? With that in mind, do you really approve of all of it being slowly taken away, especially when all of the evidence only points to the extreme benefits of the arts?
I’ll leave that question with you.

Hundreds of hunting trophies have been imported into the UK in recent years, including from species threatened with extinction such as elephants, lions, hippopotamuses, leopards, and rhinoceroses. Trophy hunting is having a negative impact on wildlife through the loss of significant numbers of healthy individuals that are key to the survival of rapidly declining populations. Unsustainable rates of trophy hunting have caused some populations of Africa’s big cats to decline, while hunting and poaching is outpacing the rate of reproduction of elephants. Trophy hunting is cruel, immoral, archaic and unjustifiable, and can act as a cover for illegal poaching.
We believe that a global end to trophy hunting is desirable, and that nature tourism is a humane and more effective means of conserving wildlife and supporting local communities. We therefore call on the UK government to commit to halting imports of hunting trophies as a matter of urgency.

For exercise today I decided to use my backpack to move some rocks. Carrying about 70 pounds in the pack at a time for perhaps a quarter of a mile before reloading worked up a good sweat. Three quarters of an hour of this activity was a good work out. In my solitude a memory came to me of our beloved family doctor for many years, John Ferger, of a long standing practice in Dryden, NY. Dr. Ferger along with his wife Martha, was an avid outdoors person as well a fine and gentle humanitarian. He continued to practice medicine at least part time well into his 80's and in fact passed away on a day that he planned to be in the office.
Moving rocks in the backpack reminded me that Dr. Ferger would train for his backpacking trips into the wilderness by loading his backpack with at least one concrete block and go out for a long hike to build up his endurance. One would see him trudging down one of the streets or roads in Dryden, bent on improving his conditioning in anticipation of his next wilderness adventure. He lived well into geezerhood, although he didn't match the longevity of his parents who lived into their 90's.
As our family doctor, we were blessed with his empathetic care through many good and difficult times. Nancy and I especially have a fondness for him since he provided pre-natal care for Nancy and attended the birth of our daughter Victoria. I had the joy of participating with Dr. Ferger in the care of Victoria after her immediate birth and especially remember him handing her over to me to hold the first time.
So I honor the memory of Dr. Ferger and delight in his long and exceptional life.

I bought a new Laptop from dell 13" 5378 I7 7200, 8 GB RAM. Within 30 days of recieve of the laptop i started facing issues. terrible sound too hot, disk consumption always 100%, hard to use, contacted support spend 12 hours online taking help from them but no resolution.
Dell sent a technician to replace fan in my new system,but no help.
Next i was asked after 60 days of utilizing 3rd class premium support for which i was charged extra money when i made purchase, that they are not able to resolve the issue and i should try replacing the system by crying in front of sales team and only if they feel pity on my story they will try to resolve.
I got into their suggestion and called sales team and well had terrible experience again, sales team was so rude and not ready to listen anything as it has been more than 30 days of me using the system so they are not going to replace it now.
Its been 97 days now i am somehow waiting that this new system will work but getting no help from dell neither in resolving the issue neither in exchanging the system.
I have bought three laptops from dell, but this is my last for sure as i dont know now whom to connect to get a working system. If someone listens to this forum then kindly help.
Just so you know I feel yah... I kept asking who I can contact to get an issue resolved. One question I take they don't like to answer.
This model are are terribly designed and assemblied. I have bought one with i5 7200U and SSD. I was disabled Turbo Boost mode because of throttling. The CPU is overheating each time you have a good load on cores. Fan is going crazy and so on. But i suppose this is engineering mistake cause fan is spinning, processor is almost 100 degree by celsium, the bottom panel is hot, but airflow from the notebook is cool.
Before i bought this notebook i have a lot of Dell devices... good devices.... but now i'm very dissapointed by this brand.
Oh, yes, I replaced it and applied the thermal paste properly - it improved the cooling slightly.

I am fairly ignorant when it comes to adding extensions to Joomla. I am wondering if I could add a subdomain to my domain which is using Joomla and in that subdomain install either ZenPhoto or Gallery.
Is that a good solution or a bad idea?
I am already using PonyGallery with Joomla and don’t like it.
Do you want it to be embedded, or completely separate?
I tend to give it a subdirectory unless I really want it to be a separate site.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve taken up too much space. Largeness, both in physicality and personality, is part of my identity. It’s not always easy to occupy more space in the world than women are supposed to — in fact, I spent my teens and early twenties trying to shrink myself down. I slouched to appear shorter. I dieted to become thinner. I talked at lower volumes to appear more demure. I did all the things that women do to make our presence more palatable to a world that can’t handle us in our more space-occupying forms. But I never felt the need to tame my hair.
I have thick, wavy hair — the kind that seems to grow horizontally rather than vertically. It’s both full of styling possibilities and virtually impossible to manage. Last year, I cut about eight inches off on a whim, and somehow, it remains abundant. One of my favorite ways to wear it is to curl and tease it until it’s less of a human hairstyle and more of a beastly mane that I can toss from side to side at will, encouraging as much volume as possible and expanding the circumference of my head by at least six inches.
I’ve never tried to shrink down or deflate my hair for the sake of other people’s approval, which may have something to do with the fact that, regardless of trends, big hair is timeless — and not as difficult to obtain as you might think. To prove it, we asked a stylist to create four sizable, impactful hairstyles that you could approach at home. From teased-out updos, to glorious mermaid waves, to a generous head of perfect curls, the photos you see in this story are meant to give you some big-hair inspiration, no matter the hair type and texture you're starting with. This is a beauty story and then some: Along with hair ideas, we want you to walk away feeling encouraged to look as large as you feel like living. We promise people will remember when you do.
After all, what is big hair if not memorable?
Could our brains conjure up the image of the Georgian era without the three-foot-tall powdered wigs serving you Duchess of Beaufort realness? What would the ‘60s have looked like without the Supremes’ beehives or Catherine Deneuve and Bridgitte Bardot’s artfully messy bundles of hair piled just so? Portraits of Angela Davis wouldn’t be quite as striking without her signature afro, and it’s possible that Jackie Onassis wouldn’t have reached quite as iconic a status if she hadn’t gone all-out with that bouffant. Farrah Fawcett’s feathered cascade dominated the mid-'70s and beyond, to which Debbie Harry’s bleached, blown-out mop was a defiant punk response. It was hard to spot a woman without big ‘80s hair, arguably the decade that perfected the genre — that is, if you don’t believe it was already perfected by Dolly Parton.
Massive blowouts stuck around in the ‘90s, too — Cindy Crawford and Sarah Jessica Parker are both proof of that, not to mention Pretty Woman and the entire female cast of Saved By The Bell. Sure, big hair fell somewhat out of favor from 2000-2010, but honestly, in terms of overall aesthetic, the whole decade took an L.
The best part of embracing big hair as a lifestyle is that it’s not actually that difficult to achieve, whether you're trying to go to the extreme or not. Big, heavy curls; volumized waves; or a teased-out updo: The options are truly endless. Try out big hair for the first time, and see how quickly you demand the world treat you like Beyoncé on tour and point a dozen fans at you wherever you go. Below, check out some advice from professional hair stylist Rutger van der Heide on how to achieve the biggest hair — and, ultimately, biggest you — possible.
“If you’d like to create volume in fine hair, try using dry shampoo as a styling product. When applied to the roots, it gives the hair some grit and curls will hold better and longer. After applying dry shampoo, blast the hair again with a hairdryer to get rid of any residue,” Rutger van der Heide says.
If you’re going for a less curly, more messy look, another option is back brushing your hair or teasing the roots for added lift. Teasing the hair, adding a ton of texturizer, and pinning it into a messy updo (kind of like the one above) can help solve the problem of fine hair falling flat. If you’re having trouble getting your fine hair to go big, ask your favorite stylist — in addition to giving you the perfect trim, your stylist is a wealth of information on how to get the look you want at home.
“After drying the hair thoroughly, you can smooth it out using a brush and blow dryer before using a curling iron to create bouncy curls. For smaller curls use an iron with a .5-inch barrel. It’s somewhat time consuming to curl your own hair with a curling iron, so [as another option] you can use curlers — leave them in and let the hair dry over a night’s sleep,” says van der Heide.
For the curly looks in this story, we used a small barrel-curling iron to get the most twist and volume out of every single one. It takes some time, but if you want hair that goes pow, it just might be worth it.
Both the models in this story are women of color with thick, curly hair. Even though these hair types are easier to pump up than, say, fine or non-textured hair, protecting it before styling is crucial.
“Natural hair responds best when you use product that protects from the heat tools you’re using. I usually stay away from thickening sprays and hair sprays, because it will dry out and potentially damage the hair when applied in combination with heat from an iron. Instead, use products that nourish and protect the hair."
We used extensions for many of these looks to get as much impact out of our big hairstyles as possible. Extensions and wigs are a great way to max out your big-hair capabilities, so pick up a weft or 10 from your beauty supply store and go to town. That said, they have some limitations.
No matter which approach you take to getting your biggest hair yet, the results will always make an impact. Don’t be afraid to let your hair enter the room before you do — after all, it’s a great way to let people know that when you’re around, big things are bound to happen.

V/Line bus and train services from regional Victoria to Bendigo or Melbourne require a V/Line ticket, not a myki card. The myki card is used for transport once in Melbourne and has not been applied to V/Line services at this stage.
You May Be Eligible For Free Travel Whilst In Melbourne?
If you are travelling to Melbourne by bus or train and you have a return V/Line transport ticket (for the same day), then you are eligible for free travel on city buses and trams for that day. Simply carry your bus or train ticket with you whilst in Melbourne, and you can ride on buses and trams in the city until you need to catch your bus or train for home later that day.
If you are travelling to Melbourne by bus or train and you only have a one way ticket (for that day), then please make your way to the PT Hub / Information Booth on the lower concourse at Southern Cross Station once you arrive, and they will stamp your train ticket. Once stamped, your bus or train ticket will allow you to travel free on Melbourne's trams and buses for one hour after arriving in Melbourne. This will mean that you can usually get to your appointment free of charge just by using your bus or rail ticket. You will, however, need to purchase a bus / tram card (Myki) for your return journey back to Southern Cross station after your appointment.
How Do I Buy A Bus / Tram Card (Myki)?
If you are going to be using public transport during your stay in Melbourne (and you are not eligible for free travel as part of a V/Line ticket), then you will need to buy a myki card to travel. Myki is Victoria's new ticketing system for travel on train, tram and bus services. Myki is a small plastic card similar in size to a credit card, which can be used for travel on trains, trams and buses across Melbourne and some regional towns. It is proposed that the myki will be used on all V/Line trains and coaches in the future, however this is not the case at this stage.
Myki uses smart card technology, which enables it to give the customer the best fare for their travel. The customer simply purchases their initial Myki card and tops it up with money before travelling. When the customer boards a train, tram or bus they must touch on their Myki at the Myki readers, which are located at train station entrances and each doorway of trams and buses. At the end of each trip, they must touch off their Myki at the Myki readers to get the lowest Myki fare. Melbourne is progressively making the switch to Myki, and people who plan to use buses and trams in Melbourne are urged to purchase a Myki card. The existing Metcard ticketing system can still be used (if you already have a Metcard) and will run alongside Myki for a period of time (probably until the end of 2012).
at 7 Eleven stores in Melbourne.
If you hold a pension concession or a student card, then it is a good idea to give Myki a call a few weeks before your expected travel date in order to apply for your initial concession Myki card, as proof of eligibility needs to be determined.
Some concession card holders are also eligible for free travel on buses and trams in the city on weekends. Eligibility, however, is determined via an application process, so give Myki a call at the above number.

Friday, the 18th of June was a deeply sad and upsetting day. I woke up at 9am from my sister’s phone call, to learn that Shneor Cheshin has passed away in a tragic accident. I’ve known Shneor since I was 13 years old, when he started dating my cousin Danit. I still remember the excitement and pride her brother and I felt that such a strong and intelligent man was joining our family.
A true renaissance man, he showed interest in a variety of subjects and activities, not to mention being an incredible husband, father, son and brother. Much has been said about his love for sport activities and competition, but as you all know me, that is not the subject we had in common.
Shneor admired technology and was curious about it and it’s benefits to him, on a personal and professional level. He was always looking for the next big thing. When he was a law student and I a teenager, I visited his flat and he introduced me to the world-wide web for the first time. With a dial-up connection and yahoo indexed search engine on a Mozilla browser, which he gladly allowed me to explore and to use. Later I would help him out with some networking and database work for his travel agency & diving equipment business. He liked working with people he knew, and along the years we had worked together on several occasions, including re-branding and re-designing his commercial websites. He then hired my girl-friend at the time to graphically maintain those websites, in-order to help her when she was unemployed, rather than having a real need for a full-time graphics designer. It was not the first time, nor the last, he helped out when someone needed it, and the scope of his good deeds is just starting to unfold, as he never spoke about it. Such was Shneor, always the first to help out and take under his wings, not seeking praise or credit, nor something in return.
When Shenor saw something new that interested him or had a technology he wanted to understand, he would sit you down and drill you with endless questions, until he had enough info. At that point he would say “OK, I understand !” , and no doubt, the next time you met, he would have or use that gadget or technology which he enquired about. He was a man of action, from thought to action was only a small step away for him.
With practically no technological background, just his tremendous willpower, persistence and intelligence he ventured into the tech industry, as both an investor and entrepreneur. Most notable is an impressive software house which he co-founded with another relative, with a front-end in Israel and development center in eastern europe. Employing 50 skilled programmers in various fields, and another 50 employees ranging from QA testers, support staff, technical writers to project managers. Much of the credit for the success they achieved goes to him and his tireless efforts to bring forth that success.
I have a deep remorse that we did not get the chance to work together again, as we did so in the past, nor the chance to get to know him even better, as he was truly a unique human being and I feel I only touched the surface with him. I always felt that when I find an idea that would need a business partner, investor or just good advice, he would be the first I would turn to, and knew he would not turn me away. Alas that will never happen, and I must cherish the memories and time I did get to spend with him.
Rest in peace dear Shneor, I will never forget you, and hope I may be of help and comfort to those you loved.
I join you in every word you have written here, in this warm post. It was interesting to read mostly about this aspect in his life from your point of view, the technology issues, and it shows how kind and curious and full of life, energies and initiatives he was. He will always be on my mind and heart. This tragedy is illogical and enormous.
