Noninvasive body contouring and fat reduction treatments are driving patients to aesthetic practices and spurring new innovations.
A recent report from Axiom Market Research and Consulting Group forecasts 8 percent growth in body contouring procedures in the next five years, with the greatest rise occurring in noninvasive and minimally invasive techniques. This is not surprising to many practitioners who have witnessed the soaring popularity of CoolSculpting (cryolipolysis), the first noninvasive fat-reduction device approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration back in 2010. During the ensuing years, an array of competitive devices has joined the market, using not only freezing but also targeted heat from lasers, radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to destroy unwanted pockets of fat.
“There are a number of things that work, including CoolSculpting, RF and laser devices such as SculpSure (Cynosure) but no gold standard procedure if you define that as something a majority of practitioners would call the best available treatment,” says Emil Tanghetti, MD, Center for Dermatology and Laser Surgery, Sacramento.
SculpSure, the first FDA-cleared laser treatment for noninvasive body contouring and submental contouring, is FDA-cleared for individuals with BMIs up to 43. Procedures take about 25 minutes and patients typically see improvement within several weeks but, as with cryolipolysis, multiple sessions are usually required for significant improvement.
Dr. Tanghetti likes SculpSure’s versatility. “SculpSure’s four applicators easily adapt to a variety of body shapes and sizes. We have two devices, which gives us access to eight applicators. With these we can cover a good portion of the body in one session. The ability to use multiple applicators at once speeds up treatments and offers efficacy with safety,” he says.
UltraShape (Candela) uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to reduce localized fat deposits and improve body shape. The newest system integrates vacuum-assisted RF to enhance fat-cell destruction, expedite fat clearance and tighten skin.
Jason Emer, MD, a dermatologist serving Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, often combines noninvasive cryolipolysis spot treatments with a series of Vanquish ME treatments in a service he calls “Fire and Ice.” “We have seen patients drop up to two pant sizes with a series of six weekly, 25-minute Vanquish treatments, in addition to the localized fat reduction treatments,” he says.
Dr. Weiss finds that the Emsculpt is especially good for patients over 50 with lax muscles. “We have found that with these patients removing fat doesn’t always produce the shape they desire. Adding Emsculpt provides better abdominal contour, and with two panels, we get great results with buttocks,” he says.
Unlike other noninvasive body contouring devices, Emsculpt does not destroy fat cells. Instead, BTL Aesthetics says results derive from about 15 percent metabolic fat burn and an average 16 percent increase in muscle mass. Patients begin to see results two to four weeks after four treatments. Results peak at about three months but may continue to improve for up to six months.
Patricia Froes Meyer, PhD, professor of physiotherapy, with an emphasis on body shaping, at the Universidade Potiguar, Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, is impressed with a new procedure called Contrast Cryolipolysis, which she and her colleagues presented in the September 2018 issue of the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology. The procedure involves heating, then cooling, then heating the subcutaneous fat layer to destroy fat cells. Initial studies have shown 25 to 50 percent fat loss after one treatment.
Professor Meyer has continued to study this technique. She says it offers “superior results compared to conventional cryolipolysis.” The procedure takes longer because of the need to preheat before cryolipolysis and reheat at the end.
Other practitioners use mechanical, chemical and even topical adjuncts to improve the results patients get with noninvasive body contouring procedures.
“ZWave therapy after SculpSure and CoolSculpting treatments helps fat go away sooner. It can also be used as a standalone treatment for cellulite,” says Dr. Katz. “We have even found that using it after tattoo removal treatments helps tattoo ink go away faster.” The ZWave (Zimmer Aesthetics) uses radial shockwaves, also known as Radial Pulse Therapy (RPT), for skin tightening, cellulite reduction and general connective tissue tightening. The mechanical action of the shock waves increases the number of fat cells receiving a lethal dose of heat or cold. The device includes preset programs to address cellulite, stretch marks and scars, and for use in combination with noninvasive body contouring devices.
Dr. Emer has used the ZWave in the past but now prefers eVIVE pulse wave therapy from Eclipse as an enhancement treatment with noninvasive body contouring.

KITTANNING (KDKA) — Several children who were mistakenly admitted to an Armstrong County pre-K program are now being kicked out.
Nick McGaughey says his 4-year-old son has enjoyed his first few months of pre-school at South Buffalo Elementary in Freeport, but suddenly, McGaughey has to explain to his son that he’s not going back.
“He’s made relationships with the teachers. He’s made progress in school. How do you explain to a 4-year-old, hey, your dad makes too much money, you can’t go to school anymore,” McGaughey said.
The pre-school program is run through the Armstrong Community Action Agency, which receives local, state and federal money.
The government-funded program requires the students come from families who are near the poverty line.
The families of the children being kicked out make too much money to qualify.
“It was incorrect because the person who enrolled them, [when he] found out they were over income, should not have enrolled them,” Ken Heilman, with Armstrong Community Action, said.
The program admits it made a mistake and is working to find spots at other schools for the students.

Walking at a speed 20% less than that of usual speed a person reaches his office 15 minutes late. Find the usual time and new time required for reaching office.
Basic Concept: Let usual speed be ‘s’ and usual time taken is ‘t’. Then new speed is ‘0.8s’ and new time taken is (t + 15).
Note: In this question the unit of any parameter is not required.
Since, the distance is constant. We can apply the basic formula, distance = speed ✖ time.
i.e. S1 ✖ T1 = S2 ✖ T2.
➔ t = 60 minutes.
➔ So, new time taken = (60+15) minutes = 75 minutes.
Now we can take the difference of new and usual time and that will be equal to 8 minutes.
So usual time taken = 4x = 60 minutes and new time taken = (60+15) = 75 minutes.
A person covered certain distance from his home to park at a speed of 20km/hr. and reached 10 minutes late, had he travelled the same distance with a speed of 30km/hr. he would have reached 20 minutes earlier. Find the distance between home and mall and the speed at which he should travel to reach on time.
Solution: Let the normal time taken be ‘t’. Since distance = speed ✖ time.
➔ 10t = 800. So, t = 80minutes.
So, time taken with speed 20km/hr. is 90 minutes and with speed 30 km/hr. is 60 minutes.
Now, Distance between Home and mall = 20 ✖ 90/60 = 30 ✖ 60/60 = 30km.
Let a car goes from ‘A’ to ‘B’ with speed ‘u’ km/hr. and then it goes from ‘B’ to ‘C’ with speed ‘v’ km/hr. Then find the average speed.
Similarly we can also find for three speeds.
Salman went from Delhi to Jaipur with the speed of 60km/hr. and return back with the speed of 90km/hr. Find the average speed.
Solution: We can directly apply the formula here i.e.
Ram covered 4 rounds of a circular track with different speeds of 10km/hr, 20 km/hr, 30 km/hr, 40 km/hr. respectively. Find the average speed of the whole journey.
A person goes from A to B i.e. 60 km and from B to C i.e. 80 km with the speed of 20km/hr. and 10km/hr. respectively. Find his average speed in the whole journey.
The speed of a train is 54 km/hr. without stoppage and 45 km/hr. with stoppage. Find for how much time in an hour the train stops.
Distance travelled by train in 1 hour without stoppage = 54 km.
Distance travelled by train in 1 hour with stoppage = 45 km.
So, for (60 – 50) minutes = 10 minutes the train stops.
= 50 minutes. So, stoppage time = (60 – 50) = 10 minutes.

Basha is originally from Taiwan. She used to live in the street in undesirable conditions for a period of time when she was very young. Then a group of people who love animals found her and saved her life. Soon then, she was adopted to the US and lived with a family in Bay Area of NorCal for the last 13 months. However, she is now looking to be rehomed because her current house-mom has some serious medical issues and her household has suffered a big reduction in income. Unfortunately, they've made a hard decision to have her going to a better home with more stability. We hope you will give Basha a second chance in having her into your life.
Everyone who meets Basha praises her for being such a pretty girl. Basha is shy and she's working on her shyness daily . With more exposure to different people, we hope she can get over her skittishness around strange people who enters her space. We believe she will outgrow it in time with love, trust and security. Basha loves and bonds best with the teenage human sister in her old house. She's always happy to see her and would joyfully jump in her lap. She's also close to the mom, dad and brother in the old family because they feed and care for her. She's gone to the dog park many times and does well with most other dogs. She also used to have another house dog friend and a house cat that live with me. Basha loves cuddling with her old teenager sister and her old kennel mate. Once the trust is built with new human friends, Basha would cuddle with them too.
Comments: Basha is shy with strangers especially. She needs more time to get familiarized to people.

John Hendrix is the illustrator of Nurse, Soldier, Spy and author/illustrator of Shootingat theStars, among others. He lives in St. Louis, Missouri.
"Biographies of key figures from WWII are plentiful in kids books, but Hendrix’s captivating account of the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer is a standout . . . The combination of Hendrix’s sharp, concise words and evocative artwork gives readers a strong sense of historical context, the enormity of the perilous actions undertaken by Bonhoeffer and other resistance fighters, and the revolutionary nature of his theology of action and civil disobedience. A poignant, compellingly presented, and timely account of a brave individual who lived his life with true conviction."
"Striking . . . challenging and complex."
"The narrative deftly moves between Bonhoeffer’s struggles and Hitler’s ascent. Hendrix’s dynamic images complement the text, using green and red to indicate good and evil. The bold visuals will attract graphic novel fans. An excellent introduction to a great man and his fight for justice."
"This book’s inclusion of detailed illustrations, ample use of quotes, and the engaging narrative all contribute to a rich telling of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s life."
"Hendrix details Bonhoeffer’s life in accessible prose, offering appropriate, meaningful context and in places using Bonhoeffer’s own words. Provocative background imagery enhances the comic’s mood and atmosphere: a noose wrapped around a church shows religious strangulation in Hitler’s Germany; prose shown on the moonlit wall of Bonhoeffer’s prison cell conveys imprisonment’s isolation. These visuals powerfully communicate the dread, despair, and violence inherent in living—and fighting against—Hitler’s Germany. "
"Hendrix's uncommon style weaves nonstop illustrations with blocks of facts, imagined conversations and direct quotes from a chilling era. He helps readers begin to make sense of the unfathomable . . . The illustrated story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer--pastor, spy and passionate rebel against Hitler's devastating Nazi regime--offers readers great insight into that period of history."
"The Faithful Spy should be required reading in high school classrooms around the nation. One of the best and most original graphic novels of 2018, readers of all ages will be captivated by its exploration of just how extraordinarily brave one pastor must have been to stand up to the Third Reich! A true story of how one pastor reconciled his faith and his courage to topple the very heart of the Nazi regime, Dietrich Bonhoeffer's life and death stands as a testament that good does indeed triumph over evil."
"Passionate and heartbreaking, Bonhoeffer’s choice (and the ultimate price he paid for collusion) will resonate with young people confronting a turbulent political milieu; Hendrix respects readers’ capacity to rise to a moral challenge."
"The book effectively employs a hand-lettered typeface, comic-panel layouts, spot art, vivid two-color illustrations (bright green and more subdued red), the occasional map, symbol, or diagram, and striking editorial illustrations reminiscent of political cartoons . . . The result is that this heavily textual book is also a highly visual one; seemingly disparate design elements blend together seamlessly."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Using two complementary analytical approaches, scientists at Whitehead Institute and Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have for the first time identified the universe of genes in the human genome essential for the survival and proliferation of human cell lines or cultured human cells.
Their findings and the materials they developed in conducting the research will not only serve as invaluable resources for the global research community but should also have application in the discovery of drug-targetable genetic vulnerabilities in a variety of human cancers.
Scientists have long known the essential genes in microorganisms, such as yeast, whose genomes are smaller and more easily manipulated. Most common yeast strains, for example, are haploid, meaning that genes exist in single copies, making it fairly simple for researchers to eliminate or “knock out” individual genes and assess the impact on the organism. However, owing to their greater complexity, diploid mammalian genomes, including the human genome, have been resistant to such knockout techniques—including RNA interference, which is hampered by off-target effects and incomplete gene silencing.
Now, however, through use of the breakthrough CRISPR (for clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats) genome editing system, researchers in the labs of Whitehead Member David Sabatini and Broad Institute Director Eric Lander have been able to generate a genome-wide library of single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) to screen for and identify the genes required for cellular viability. The sgRNA library targeted slightly more than 18,000 genes, of which approximately 10% proved to be essential. These findings are reported online this week in the journal Science.
As might have been expected, Wang says that many of the essential genes are involved in fundamental biological processes, including DNA replication, RNA transcription, and translation of messenger RNA. But, as Wang also notes, approximately 300 of these essential genes are of a class not previously characterized, are largely located in the cellular compartment known as the nucleolus, and are associated with RNA processing. Wang says the precise function of these genes is the subject of future investigation.
To validate the results of the CRISPR screens, the group took the added step of screening for essential genes in a unique line of haploid human cells. Using an approach known as gene-trap mutagenesis (a method pioneered in part by former Whitehead Fellow Thijn Brummelkamp) in the haploid cells and comparing it to the CRISPR results, the researchers found significant, consistent overlap in the gene sets found to be essential. In a final step, the group tested their approaches in cell lines derived from two cancers, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Burkitt’s lymphoma, both of which have been extensively studied. The novel method not only identified the essentiality of the known genes—in the case of CML, it hit on the BCR and ABL1 genes, whose translocation is the target of the successful drug Gleevec—but also highlighted additional genes that may be therapeutic targets in these cancers.
“The ability to zero in on the essential genes in the highly complex human system will give us new insight into how diseases, such as cancer, continue to resist efforts to defeat them,” Lander says.
Wang, Lander, and Sabatini are enthusiastic about the potential applications of their work, as it should accelerate the identification of cancer drug targets while enhancing our understanding of the evolution of drug resistance, a major contributor to therapeutic failure. The researchers attribute this vast potential to the rigor that CRISPR brings to human genetics.

I am a Colorado native, originally from Pueblo, attending college at CSU in Fort Collins, and finally landing in the Arvada/Golden area. I chose the field of Audiology for many reasons, my paternal grandparents were deaf and thus there was always an interest in the world of hearing loss, being a music major at one point, the field seemed to combine my love of sound with the world of science. I have 4 children and my world has always revolved around them when I'm not working. We love to spend time together and Colorado provides the perfect environment to do that.
The department of Audiology at Kaiser Permanente is committed to providing the best hearing health care for our members. I try to treat each patient as I would want any of my family members to be treated, with kindness, understanding, and compassion. I was an active participant when Kaiser Permanente decided to open Hearing Services, providing hearing aids to our members. This has been a wonderful extension of service to our members. I have been active/managing the Newborn Hearing Screening Program since its beginning in 1998 (has it been that long?!) The specialized testing of our pediatric population has always been a passion of mine and I continually strive to improve our service to our youngest members.
I am fortunate to have a wonderful, supportive husband, and pair that with my 4 great children, I feel blessed beyond words. To add to that my extended family and friends, life is full. Spending quality time with those important to us is really what life is about. I am always telling my children, "We all have plenty of stuff, we can never have enough memories" and I try to approach life that way. I have done several mission trips to Mexico, utilizing my skills in audiology but also my skills at putting roofs on houses. In 2010, I volunteered through Kaiser Permanente and participated in Katrina clean up in the Biloxi, Mississippi area. That same year, I traveled to India as part of a medical mission. I guess I would say that giving back is my way of thriving.

Saints fans are not the only one outraged over the NFL’s lack of accountability in Sunday’s NFC Title game between New Orleans and the Rams.
Louisiana’s governor is speaking out, as Gov. John Bel Edwards sent a letter Tuesday to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to express the “deep disappointment” of the people of Louisiana and Saints fans.
The Democratic governor complained about the failure of officials to call interference or roughness penalties when a Rams player leveled a Saints receiver with a helmet-to-helmet hit near the end of Sunday’s game.
This could still get interesting before Super Bowl LIII a week from Sunday, but again the NFL likely will do nothing about the matter.
Can you imagine if a local New Orleans judge agreed with the lawsuit and ordered the Rams and Saints to replay the final two minutes of the game? And then the NFL had to rush an appeal to avoid this happening? This could be incredible legal theater to watch play out.

Elsa Clair inspects my Cat Writers’ Association Certificates of Excellence. Jasper seems somewhat less than impressed.
Recently I was honored by the Cat Writers’ Association with nine Certificates of Excellence.
Like one for each of the proverbial cat’s lives.
It’s almost too much to absorb.
Receiving CWA Certificates of Excellence is a special honor because I was judged by other creators of cat-related content, who are not only my peers in loving and writing about cats, but are also people I look up to who are so much more accomplished than I am.
I volunteer as judge for the annual CWA Writing Contest, and what impresses me the most about the contest (other than the talent of the people who enter) is the rigor and quality of the judging parameters. Every entry is reviewed by three judges, who grade each submission on very specific metrics of excellence. The scores are submitted, an average calculated, and only the entries that receive a grade of 90 or above receive a Certificate of Excellence.
So to be acknowledged by these judges is incredibly gratifying, validating, and thrilling. Though it’s an overused word, it truly is an honor.
But being proud of what you do, and what you can do, is a good thing. And maybe I can inspire a writer or photographer or poet or videographer or two who thinks they can’t—just like I used to—but can work at their craft, can learn from those who excel at it, and can one day be honored and celebrated by their peers.
The first year, I entered the CWA conference, my stuff didn’t get any certificates. I read the articles that won, attended writing conferences, and worked to improve. The year after that, I was really happy to receive three certificates.
Elsa Clair reviews the CWA certificate for one of the stories about her.
At the annual CWA Awards Banquet, the highest scorer in each category receives a Muse Medallion. Last year, I received six Certificates of Excellence and was nearly speechless to be honored with three Muses: in the poetry category for one of my Haiku by Cat (Attraction), for a video (Elsa Clair’s Gold Medal Purr-formance) and for a story I wrote about adopting a cat for my mom. Even more gobsmacking was that I was honored with two special awards for the adoption story: the CATalyst Council Connection Award and the Kari Winters Rescue and Rehabilitation Award, sponsored by TICA (The International Cat Association).
Calvin noses at the certificate I received for a photo of him.
So what exactly was excellent?
This year, three of my haiku received Certificates of Excellence: Broccoli, Liquids, and Evil. While haiku are only three lines of text that add up to 17 syllables, and I sometimes feel a little sheepish that such few words count as a poem, and mine are more humorous than deep, as anyone who has tried can attest, writing within those restrictions while trying to capture the essence of catness…well, it can be a challenge. I know that the CWA judges get what a haiku is supposed to be, and when they recognize my work, it gives me a feeling of validation. Maybe I can actually call myself a poet.
Two of my photos were also honored this year with Certificates of Excellence. I’ve entered my photography every year for the past four years, and this is the first time any of my pictures made the finals: Elsa Clair Rules the Stairs and Calvin is Shocked.
Another first was a certificate for a fiction piece: A Jewish Cat’s Purr-spective on Hanukkah and Christmas. I don’t write much short fiction, and this was a stretch for me, so it gives me the courage to attempt more stories.
I’m also excited that two of my articles about keeping cats healthy were honored: 8 Ways (and a Whole Bunch of Tips) to Make Your Cat Happy and Keep Your Cat Healthy, and an article about how to make a trip to the vet easier on feline and human: Almost as Good as a Spa Day: Taking Your Cat to the vet Doesn’t Have to Be Stressful.
Most interesting, though, was the fact that I received a certificate for a post I wrote as a public service to people like me who simply cannot read a book, watch a movie, or sit through a TV show if the cat or dog or any other animal dies: What Happens to the Cat on Stranger Things? A spoiler for animal lovers.
Life with Dogs and Cats is honored to receive 9 CWA Certificates of Excellence.
One thing I’ve learned as a writer and photographer and yes, even a poet, is that I can always learn. I can always find ways to perfect my craft. I can always grow as an artist.
This is why I go to writers confernces, and this is why I’m going to the CWA conference yet again this year. There’s a great line-up of speakers, and not only will I learn, but I’ll get to spend time with people who love cats and who love writing. Best part? There will be cats to visit and snuggle as well.
Love cats? Love to write?
You should head to the annual CWA conference, held this year from June 7 to 9, in Houston, Texas. Tickets are still available!
Held at the same time as the Cat Fanciers’ Association Gulf Shore Regional Cat Show, it promises to be an educational and purr-fectly pawsome event, and includes the annual banquet that awards Muse Medalions and special awards to talented cat people.

I'm a recreational fisherman on a tight budget.
The rorschach galleries. one is in edison and is in Hillsboro...the won a websites vote for best nj tattoo shop.
I'm really contemplating giving some sweetwater a try soon...Theres been hundreds of gulls along the bank of the queen of rivers, for a couple weeks now. I have yet to see any diving action but then again i observe only to and from my way to work. I'm thinking of giving it a shot during an afternoon incoming tide, maybe slow-fish some soft plastics. There should be a chance of catching some perch, no? I've caught yellow and also white perch at this spot as "bycatch." My initial thought is these seagulls are there for a reason--food. Does anyone have any insight as to what's up with all the seagulls?
Is he of the Wennings that own a butcher shop around Long Branch...has a son Brian Wenning?
It's funny, i found out about his lures through skateboarding. He used to be a pro.
I'm wondering if any of y'all have fished lures made by Ryan Hickey and if so, what are your thoughts on his lures?

Is Facebook Going To Start Charging - We've heard our whole lives that there's no such point as a free lunch, so it's just natural for people to presume Facebook may begin billing for its solution. This rumor appears specifically plausible when you think about debates like the one Slate magazine writer Farhad Manjoo presented in a column from 2008. Manjoo pointed out that if also 5 percent of Facebook individuals agreed to pay $5 a month for the solution (with the remaining individuals devalued to limited accounts), Facebook could create hundreds of numerous bucks a year in subscription fees alone.
Luckily for Facebook customers, the business currently has no plans to start charging for the service. According to an Organisation Week interview with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook is profitable as well as expanding quickly based just on the stamina of its advertising and marketing revenues. So while it's difficult to look in to the future and also say with assurance what Facebook's company design will resemble, for the time being Facebook addicts could keep their loan in their wallets when they visit. The following Facebook myth also has massive economic implications, but except Facebook users.
Don't worry, the social media sites website is not going to begin billing you. Facebook even produced an aid web page just to claim this: "Facebook is a totally free site and will never need that you pay to continue making use of the site."
The web page after that goes on to describe that, yes, you might pay loan for some games as well as various other apps you play on the website. And also if you discuss your smart phone's data limitation while using Facebook, you'll need to spend for that, as well.

Hamlet Batista has a relatively new blog where he discusses search marketing and SEO with web design.
Hamlet has also provided a post showing how to use Google Adwords analysis tools more effectively in your search marketing. Although I had used these tools before, I learned a lot from that post, but unfortunately made a bit of a mess of the comments section (sorry!).
What I like about this blog is that it is providing genuinely valuable information you can use to get results. This site offers a range of advice to suit people with different levels of expertise.
The posts really aim to cover to the nuts and bolts of what you need to do to increase traffic, which is why I read it.
If you are tired of reading the same old generic stuff like “write great content” or “get lots of links” and are looking for free insider advice from a professional then you should spend some time reading Hamlet Batista’s search marketing blog for yourself!!

The house is like a filter.
I’m not a collector but I study objects.
I buy what I don’t understand.
The things that have remained in the house have accumulated over time.
After years of sitting the distinctions between this and that work and “play” house and studio don’t seem very important. So I tend to approach everything the same way.

Emblem of Liwa al-Mukhtar al-Thiqfi. Flanked by the flags of Syria and Iran, the top reads: “Fawj Qamr Bani Hashim.” The centre consists of a flag with the inscription: “Labbayk ya Hussein.” At the bottom is the name Liwa al-Mukhtar al-Thiqfi.
The rise of ‘Syrian Hezbollah’ is by now a well-established aspect of the conflict, as multiple Syrian militias have arisen that have a clear and direct affiliation with Lebanon’s Hezbollah, such as Quwat al-Ridha based in the Homs area. Other militias, such as Liwa al-Imam Zain al-Abidin, whose secretary general was recently killed in fighting in Deir az-Zor against the Islamic State, do not openly assert links with Hezbollah but at least reflect ‘Syrian Hezbollah’ as a brand.
Much more obscure, however, are Syrian militias openly claiming a direct affiliation with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Liwa al-Mukhtar al-Thiqfi (“The Mukhtar Thiqfi Brigade”) is one such group. The name al-Mukhtar al-Thiqfi is derived from a person by the same name, who led a revolt against the Umayyads in an attempt to avenge the death of Imam al-Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad killed at the Battle of Karbala. The name Fawj Qamr Bani Hashim (“The Moon of Banu Hashim Regiment”) featured on the militia’s emblem is just an alternative name for the group. One should compare with additional use of the names Kata’ib al-Imam Ali (“The Imam Ali Battalions”) and Fawj al-Nabi al-Akram (“The Most Noble Prophet Regiment”) by the Syrian Hezbollah group Liwa al-Imam al-Mahdi. The “Moon of Banu Hashim” refers to Abu al-Fadl al-Abbas, the son of Imam Ali, who was the first Shi’i Imam. Abu al-Fadl al-Abbas was also killed at the Battle of Karbala.
Another photo featuring al-Hajj Mukhtar.
In addition, al-Hajj Mukhtar stressed that the militia’s members are only Syrians, trying to highlight a supposed multi-sectarian composition: “Syrians from the Shi’i sect and the Sunni and Alawite sects. Iraqis are present but not in the brigade with us.” Of course, it is not entirely impossible that Liwa al-Mukhtar al-Thiqfi has members of other sects, who may adopt the group’s Shi’i slogans, banners and may even participate in some Shi’i traditions without formal affiliation/conversion. Like many other militias trying to deal with manpower problems on the regime side caused by desertion and draft avoidance for service in the Syrian army, Liwa al-Mukhtar al-Thiqfi has offered taswiyat al-wad‘ (“sorting out of affairs”) for some military personnel in a bid to recruit members. As al-Hajj Mukhtar explained: “Taswiya for military personnel only, meaning for misdemeanours, meaning the soldier delaying over his duty hours, and the soldier refraining from obligatory service: i.e. simple matters only.” The salary offered for members amounts to 57,000 Syrian pounds per month, which is equivalent to slightly more than $100 per month.
In total, al-Hajj Mukhtar claimed that there are approximately 4500 fighters in his formation, though such a number is likely an exaggeration. As far as ‘martyrs’ go, he claims only 14 ‘martyrs’ in number till now. At least one of these ‘martyrs’ can be identified using publicly available information, as per below.
Badi’ Muhammad Hasawi, said to have been from the Hama town of Morek by origin. He was announced to have been killed fighting on the Latakia countryside front at the end of November 2016.
Hasawi’s death provides some further insight into the composition of Liwa al-Mukhtar al-Thiqfi. It seems an entire contingent of the militia originally comes from Morek. Some more photos from those involved in the militia are provided below.
Members of Liwa al-Mukhtar al-Thiqfi, wearing headbands with the inscription “Ya Qamr Bani Hashim” (cf. here).
A member of Liwa al-Mukhtar al-Thiqfi with 313 insignia. The number 313 has been used in reference to this group as Fawj Qamr Bani Hashim. For the significance of 313, see this article I wrote on Saraya al-Areen.
Wall graffiti: “The strike force. The martyr Hassan Kamal al-Halabi group: 313.” Hassan Kamal al-Halabi, who was killed in a bombing in Homs in February 2016, is commemorated by Liwa al-Mukhtar al-Thiqfi.
Member of Liwa al-Mukhtar al-Thiqfi in front of a poster featuring Bashar al-Assad, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamene’i, and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Overall, Liwa al-Mukhtar al-Thiqfi is a rather small formation, but the group is an interesting case of a Syrian militia presenting itself as directly affiliated with the IRGC, rather than simply ‘Hezbollah in Syria’ or ‘Syrian Hezbollah’. It will be interesting to see if other militias along these lines emerge in the future.
(Update 9 March 2017): A reader inquired as to the death of Badi’ Muhammad Hasawi and the attribution to him of a military rank in a tweet from the time of the announcement of his death. There is in fact no inherent contradiction between that attribution and membership of Liwa al-Mukhtar al-Thiqfi. It is rather a case-in-point of multiple affiliations and evolution in roles over time. Primary source posts in Arabic on social media point to Hasawi’s position within the Hama military intelligence (al-amn al-askari) and that he had led his own fighting contingents in Hama province. Such a record would undoubtedly serve as a basis for a military command role in Liwa al-Mukhtar al-Thiqfi. For comparison, note the post from November 2016 linked to in the main article that attributes to him a military rank- naqib– and says that he is the leader of the group’s military operations in the Latakia countryside.
New Assadist narrative: the war’s over, nothing left to see here. Aim is to convince an erratic admin to cede all to Iran, Russia, regime.
@N_Henin Correct. It’s over because we need you to believe that.
Yes, Alqaeda.3 aka Hay’at Tahrir alsham is the largest fighting force on the rebel side and was just declared a terrorist group by the state dept. you can not make chicken soup out of chicken poop, and when your friend is a terrorist it does not matter who your enemy is !!
The only thing that ” Islam is the solution” banner holders brought to Syria and the Middle East is terrorism and destruction that is why they are allied with Israel and Saudi Arabia.

This is the second composition I call Episodes. The first (for a mixed sextet of instruments) was written as a series of isolated dramatic episodes that could have been based on moments from a person's life. Similarly, dramatic movements are used in Episodes 2, but here they also function as part of a large dramatic structure. Therefore, although there is no actual story, the movements of Episodes 2 function like the episodes of a drama.
This is a simple introduction. It begins calmly with major seconds and then introduces the primary intervals that will be used in movements II, III, and IV (the dramatic movements) respectively. Each interval is imitated (or copied) by all of the instruments so that a texture of echoes is created, but no melody or obvious chords are heard. Eventually, a single unaccompanied melody presents the primary intervals of each movement in the order of their appearance.
The subtitle of this movement describes its dramatic structure. At the start, major thirds are used to create an excited, energetic and nervous optimism, but this mood is eventually destroyed by violent dissonances and angry musical gestures. Disappointment then follows with an expressive melody. Dramatically, this movement presents the conflict that drives the entire composition forward.
This movement describes the aftermath of a tragic event, or a jarring loss. The intervals of a major seventh and its inversion, the minor second, are used for expressiveness and a sense of mourning. After a climax of sadness, the movement ends with the intervals being played as a simple expression of quiet despair.
Solace, as moral support and comfort in a time of need, appears here in the form of quiet chords. Dramatically, a solo melody expresses concern or sadness and the chords comfort it. With the influence of the chords, the melody becomes brighter and more hopeful, hence the subtitle of this movement. The primary interval that begins this movement is a minor third, while the chords use perfect fifths. As the melody becomes brighter it begins incorporating the perfect fifths (and/or perfect fourths) that were first introduced by the chords.
Similar to the first movement, all of the primary intervals appear in the Epilogue. In fact, the same melody that was played in the prologue now returns, but it is first heard backwards so that the brightness of the perfect fifth (originally the last interval) can be heard first. When the melody returns in its original form, however, a sense of tension intrudes. Dramatically, one can think of this effect as a protagonist contemplating past events, but from various different perspectives. Sometimes a more optimistic interpretation is heard, while at other times a sense of anxiety, tension or sadness arrises. In the end, the melody settles on to a perfect fifth (the last interval of the series) and a sense of open stability.

KUWAIT CITY (AA) - A tentative agreement between the Yemeni government and the Shia Houthi group and their allies to exchange prisoners appears to have fallen through, a government source close to ongoing peace talks in Kuwait has told Anadolu Agency.
In a statement Thursday, UN envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed said the need to exchange prisoners was "humanitarian issue" that should not be "held hostage to political considerations".
Ould Cheikh went on to urge both parties to the conflict to "depoliticize" the prisoners issue.
The mediator said that a special committee for prisoners -- drawn up as part of the ongoing talks in Kuwait -- had discussed proposals for carrying out a prisoner swap before the upcoming Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
On Wednesday, Ould Cheikh had urged both parties to "do their patriotic duty by supporting the peace process by helping reunite families [whose members had been detained] before Ramadan".
"Political bargaining should not come at the expense of these prisoners," he asserted.
"Those being held captive [by both pro-government forces and the Houthis] should be returned to their families as soon as possible," he added.
The UN envoy welcomed a token prisoner swap carried out Wednesday in the Yemeni city of Taiz, expressing hope that all those detained during the conflict would also soon be released.
On April 11, UN-brokered Yemen talks began in Kuwait City following the announcement of a cease-fire.
The government delegation insists that it represents Yemen’s sole legitimate governing authority, citing last year’s UN Security Council Resolution 2216, which calls on the Houthis to lay down their arms and withdraw from cities they currently occupy.
The Houthis, for their part, say they represent the country’s de facto rulers, having run sovereign state institutions -- including Yemen’s central bank -- for more than one year.
The move forced President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi and his Saudi-backed government to flee to Riyadh for a six-month period.

Do you want to learn more about BTL’s measurable outcomes? See the latest technologies and their benefits in the field of sports medicine? Try BTL therapies for yourself? Come see us at Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona! You’ll find us at booth 8 throughout the event and at our workshop on the 3rd of June from 17:00 - 18:30 devoted to the cutting-edge Super Inductive System.
Also this year, BTL will participate in the world-renowned conference on sports medicine. Isokinetic Medical Group yearly conference at Camp Nou stadium, home to the number one team FC Barcelona, will be focused on football medicine outcomes. Are we winning? Are we really able to obtain measurable outcomes?
Measurable outcomes are the key to defining progress in almost anything imaginable. In football namely, it is key to defining how fast an athlete can recover from sports injuries, treat their pain and join the team again. This is why BTL is joining the conference with its workshop on the Super Inductive System technology.
Super Inductive System is a trusted physiotherapy and rehabilitation device. It relieves pain of any origin based on its ability to target various pain control theories, thanks to the unique applicator technology and frequency modulation. By positively affecting the musculoskeletal system through muscle contraction and relaxation and managing pain by affecting the nervous system, it treats common sports medicine indications such as muscle strains, ruptures and spasms, impingement syndrome, joint blockages and even fractures.
To measure outcomes of the treatment with the Super Inductive System a number of studies have been conducted, proving that the device brings pain relief and helps footballers stay in the game.
We participated in Isokinetic Medical Group Conference 2017 and we are looking forward to seeing you this year! FC Barcelona, Isokinetic Medical Group and FIFA together to organize the largest Sports Medicine Conference in 2018! For more information please visit the official website.

It's reported that Susan L. Taylor is leaving Essence Magazine after being at the helm for over thirty years. Ms. Taylor has decided to devote her time to the National Cares Mentoring Movement.
Essence Magazine, which is owned by the Time Inc. division of Time Warner, did not make an official announcement as of post time but Ms. Taylor chose to send out word via e-mail.
“I am taking a break in South Africa and will have little access to e-mail,” she wrote in an automated out-of-office message this month. “When I come back to the states in mid-January, I will be leaving Essence to do what at this juncture in my life has become a larger work for me — building the National Cares Mentoring Movement, which I founded as Essence Cares and today is my deepest passion."
For as long as I can remember Essence magazine has been synonymous with Susan L. Taylor gracing the editor's page with her luxurious corn rows and radiant smile. Each month she relays a wonderful message filled with spiritual enlightenment and hope.
I've had the privilege and opportunity to meet Susan on various occasions and I must admit Tres Chic Style sadly bids Ms. Taylor farewell.

Today I want to write here some of my current thoughts about professional development, the possibility of a burn-out, my place in this profession, the changes in my interests in the six years that I can trace back with the help of this blog, and importantly, my thoughts about future. As in, my professional future. Tomorrow morning all of this might make little sense to me but as of now, it stands. I might feel differently ten days from now when I go back to work and have to plan classes again, meet students, spend hours with colleagues, work on projects. But now, lost in vacation, knee-deep in idleness, I feel that.
It’s been a month since I last stepped foot in a classroom, and I’ve learnt by now that long vacations are not exactly a good fit for me. Nearly every time I lose sense of professional purpose, but this summer hit me a little bit harder (though frankly speaking, it has been creeping in for a while).
“What is IT?” you’ll probably ask.
As I scroll down my Facebook feed, I see (this summer much like any other time in the year), an abundance of good-looking and not-so-good-looking resources, useful and toxic articles, thoughtful and all different kinds of blog posts. There’s a lot of everything – and there has been for as long as I have used social media for ELT, which is 6 years.
Yet barely anything clicks now quite the same way as it used to.
I am not drawn to webinars.
I am not willing to participate in Twitter conversations.
I don’t have the energy to look at my WordPress Reader.
You most likely don’t see my comments to any of the ELT discussions on Facebook.
You have not yet received my response to your kind, long and thoughtful comment on my blog post.
I want to look six years back into the logs. Here’s what I’ve been massively excited about for something like 4-5 years: activities, professional communities aka PLNs, technology (apps, web tools, blogs, social media), sharing students’ work, etc. I am far less thrilled about most of those now. I sometimes even catch myself sounding skeptical, and I don’t want to become that person. I used to be so passionate about so many things. These days, I choose and pick, examine carefully what to be passionate about. And then become mildly enthusiastic. I have more criticism in me than I’d prefer. I don’t use as many exclamation marks when I write. One could take it to mean I’ve lost some vigour, if one were to analyse that much.
And, of course, conferences. I couldn’t get enough of them. I wanted so much to be everywhere, to meet everyone, to present and share what I’d done as a teacher. The kind comments, positive response of the audience, presence of those who’d become friends – it got me high and dizzy every single time. Together we make each other feel important. So much support, so much learning, and above all, our relationships growing deeper. We became each others’ stars.
Does it sound like I’m saying I don’t value any of that anymore?
I can’t seem to find my place, that’s what I’m trying to say. I don’t want to be the kind of presenter who shares own experiences in the self-centered way. When I go to a conference, I look to see who will be there. And then aren’t we trapped in this cycle of doing it for the same people over and over again? I don’t think I want to share for the mere sake of sharing anymore. I don’t always understand what and who the conferences are for, my view is blurred.
I wrote before that I want to participate in programs to “help teachers” in developing countries. I still do, but there’s this nagging voice at the back of my mind offering me a vague picture of what it might look like… me performing a role, albeit excitedly. Imparting whatever knowledge or skills or ideas I come up with when I write my abstracts to go. How can a short visit with a couple of workshops help anyone? Do I want to be a person associated with this kind of help? On the other hand, though, what’s wrong with it? Having never been part of it, why am I already doubting the impact?
That’s a rough sketch of where my mind is. Of the current state.
My own diagnosis is as follows: a time-out at the crossroads. Re-evaluating the purpose and meaning, locating professional self, contemplating directions.
IMHO, you are right on track in your own professional journey. I have been exactly where you are right now. In fact, I’m still unsure of my place in the EFL world. However, when I force myself to think about it, the only thing that resonates with me consistently is the PEOPLE – students, colleagues, and others I meet in my daily travels.
As someone doing this for a few more years than you, I can share that I simply try to hang on to my core group of colleagues and try to leave doors open so I can jump on ideas that strike me as worth doing.
I still love your writing – your inner voice is so honest and clear.
I’ll second Matt’s thank you for sharing. I think your place is wherever you want it to be – if you keep writing honestly like this it always helps people.
As or the difference that one or two workshops can make, it’s hard to know. But speaking to people before you go, trying to find out what they want and need, and trying to adapt to what you see when you arrive are all useful. Try it out, see what happens, learn from the experience. The doubts are possibly your brain saying ‘Stay safe. You know it’s all OK here.’ Listen if you want to, jump if you don’t 😉 I’m often surprised which things people have picked up on from my blogposts or conference presentations, often things I’ve completely forgotten writing or saying! Keep being you, and that’s enough.
Thank you for writing this. It resonates with me.
Anna, thanks for sharing this. It really fits with my own current state of mind. I, too, enjoyed being idle this summer. Didn’t do one ELT-related thing. And I loved it.
I realised I’d needed it. I’ve been feeling guilty about not updating my blog (it’s been a very long time) or being as active on social media as I used to be, even though there are things I’d like to share with others, I just haven’t had the headspace to think about them and present them properly. I just needed not to.
I realised I didn’t want to have to be responsible for other, online people’s learning after being responsible for so many real-life teachers this year. It was so nice to switch off.
I’m sure the enthusiasm will return. In fact, you might have inspired me to write my own post!

If you are already a client, please log in to your account as additional (and expanded) FAQ entries are available to you.
MX-Defender is the brand name of OnlyMyEmail's Business Spam Filtering service.
The name is derived from the fact that our service is enabled when you change the MX (mail exchanger) records for your domain to direct all all incoming email to our mail servers. This allows us to be the first line defense against Spam, "Dictionary" and "Directory Harvesting" attacks for your domain.
In other words, MX-Defender "defends" the servers that are pointed to by your DNS MX records.
Somebody says they sent me a message but I didn't get it. What should I do now?
Don't panic, with the proper information it's usually pretty easy to find a missing message.
The most common causes of missing mail are as follows The message never made it to our servers and may even still be waiting for outbound delivery on the sending server. The message made it to us and was marked as spam. We delivered the message but it was marked as spam by either your server, or your mail client software.
The first place to look is in your deleted items (spam), although it's rare we do occasionally make a mistake and flag legitimate mail as spam.
OK, so you've checked your deleted items, and it's not there. Not a problem, what we need to do now is confirm that the message has left the sender's server. Email is in many ways like snail mail. You're mail program is like you're local postal carrier, it's responsible for getting the message from your computer to the server. Think of the server like it's the local post office in your town, it's responsible for getting your message to the local post office (server) of the recipient. Occasionally things can go wrong at the senders server, so we start our search there. Have the sender, or senders admin as appropriate check the logs of their server. They'll probably need some details to locate the correct logs, things like the sender's address, recipient's address, subject, and approximate time. Their logs should show 1 of 3 possible outcomes.
One, the message is still on their queue and has not been delivered. In this case there should be further logs indicating why it has not been delivered. Possible reasons are, network issues, server issues, etc. All of these cases would not be logged on our servers, so this is why you start on the sender's end.
Two, the message was rejected by our servers, our rejection messages are pretty straight forward, and the sender's Admin should be able to use the information provided to correct the issue. A rejection in this manner normally produces a bounce message to the sender informing them of the issue.
Three, the message was delivered to our server successfully. If this is the case the we'll need to research the disposition of the message in our logs. If the sender can provide a copy of their logs it makes things easier for us. If they cannot, then we can usually find the logs if we're provided with the senders address, recipients address, subject, approximate time, and sending server's IP address.
If the message was delivered to our servers and wasn't flagged as spam, but you still can't find it, then open a ticket with our support department. Be sure to provide us with as much information as possible. Sender's logs if you have them. Sending address, recipient address, subject, date, and time if you don't. We'll take it from here and reply shortly with whatever we find.
Are there domains OnlyMyEmail cannot filter?
Are there domains OnlyMyEmail can't filter?
Technically speaking, as long as you are the registered owner of the domain and can modify DNS MX records to point to our mail servers then we can filter your mail. However, to be effective our mail servers must be listed exclusively in the DNS MX records for your domain. This is not an issue for most "Dedicated" or "Virtual Dedicated" hosting plans and is obviously not a problem if you run your own email servers.
However, many hosts that specialize in "economy-priced" shared hosting plans provide very limited technical capability. The inbound email servers at these types of operations often do not actually know what domains they are hosting. In these cases, if the host's mail server doesn't "see itself" listed in the MX records it will incorrectly assume that it is not hosting your email and will then reject your inbound emails after we've filtered them. Examples of hosts with this type of simplistic management include the "shared hosting" plans at SBC Global, XO and NoMonthlyFees.com, among others.
You can tell whether this will be a potential issue by reviewing your own MX records. If you find your domain listed then you can be confident that we can filter and deliver your email. On the other hand, if your MX records only reference your host's domains, then you should contact your host to verify whether or not their system will support outside MX filtering services.
You can host your email with our Business Email Hosting Service so that we both filter and host your email. This is independent of web site hosting, which we do not offer.
The better hosts (Pair.com being an example) can configure their servers to accept email for your domain, even when their servers are not listed in the DNS MX records. A simple request to your host's Support department is all that should be required.
You may need to upgrade to a "Dedicated" or "Virtual Dedicated" plan with your host before they'll allow you to manage your own MX records.
You could have the host register DNS "A" records for "yourdomain.yourhost.tld"
Create a "CNAME" records for the above that point to our mail filtering systems .
Have the host restrict the mail-server (if they're capable) so that it will only accept messages for your domain when the connection is from our outbound servers.
Whether we host your email or you apply the above work-around solutions, as long as your host will accept your mail, then OnlyMyEmail can provide you with award-winning, world-class spam filtering.
Keep in mind, however, that hosts with mail-servers that rely on the DNS system to tell them who their clients are will very often lack the technical competence to understand and/or implement changes to their own email servers. Others may intentionally prevent you from using outside email filtering solutions in order to sell you add-on filtering they offer themselves.
What type of servers and software can we use?
All of OnlyMyEmail's filtering systems run exclusively on our servers. Because of this, there are no compatibility issues with any known email server or client software programs.
What is OnlyMyEmail's Outbound Mail-Server IP Range?
What email protocols are supported?
This answer only applies to those filtering clients that have also chosen to use our Email Hosting.
OnlyMyEmail supports all standard protocols and methods for sending and retrieving email and can be used with the email software or hardware of your choice.
For receiving email the most common protocol is POP3 and our mail servers can be reached at mail.onlymyemail.com.
A more advanced option for keeping multiple devices in synch with one another is the IMAP protocol which also uses: mail.onlymyemail.com.
IMAP allows all of your computers/devices to access your mailbox on our servers. Actions performed on one device will be synchronized with the others. This includes sending or deleting messages, saving drafts, and moving emails with your folders. Unlike POP3, the IMAP protocol does not automatically delete downloaded messages from our server. As a result, if you don't manually delete old messages then you can quickly exceed your disk storage quota on our servers.
In all cases we require that you enable "SMTP Authentication" within your email hardware or software device.
If you're on the go, and have access to a public computer, or some other computer you don't want to configure with your credentials you can use our webmail service at webmail.onlymyemail.com. Just be sure to log-out when you're done so the next person who uses that computer can't access your email.
Can OnlyMyEmail host my email accounts?
Yes, you can consolidate your email hosting and spam filtering with OnlyMyEmail.
We do not provide web hosting but using our email hosting service in conjunction with our filtering service means that you do not need to reconfigure your email accounts if you decide to change web hosting providers.
How do I set up email hosting?
Our email hosting service is only available to customers using our Business Spam Filtering service (MX-Defender).
Are there any storage limits or filtering quotas?
Because we deliver your filtered email to your existing mail servers, your messages are not stored on our system. As a result, there is no "disk quota" or any other limits on the amount of email passing through our filters for your account.
What happens to our email if our servers are down?
In the event that your email servers (or your host) cannot be reached for any reason, OnlyMyEmail will continue to accept and filter your email, and will hold your email for delivery until your systems can be reached. There is no action required on your part to enable this feature; the spooling and subsequent delivery will occur automatically.
Senders will not receive bounce notifications, so they will never know that your servers were unavailable. Additionally, you may provide us with the names & addresses of any other servers where you would like your messages delivered when your primary systems cannot accept mail.
How do end-users allow or block specific addresses?
In addition to the "global" allow and block lists that the administrator can maintain, the system also remembers sender preferences on a "per-user" basis.
Individual sender preferences are developed based on the emails each end-user chooses to either "Resend" or "Report as Spam" and thus require no manual administration.
How much delay does the filtering add?
After the first week or two of use (during which the system is learning and adapting to your domain's unique mix of email) OnlyMyEmail's Spam Filtering for Businesses service will create an average latency of between 12 to 20 seconds. If you are experiencing delays greater than this, then visit the Problems & Solutions menu within the Support site for troubleshooting advice.
How do we retrieve messages OnlyMyEmail has removed?
Email that is deleted as Spam (or any other category you've chosen to block) is placed in a deleted mail folder and held on our servers for 14 days.
Administrators can review these messages through the "View Deleted Email" menu in the Support site. You can (and really should) enable the automatic sending of daily "SpamReports" to each of your email addresses so that your end-users may receive these reports directly.
Your end-users can also generate SpamReports in real-time by submitting their email address through the "On-Demand" page at: https://www.onlymyemail.com/spamreport/.
Regardless of which method is being used the "Subject:" of each message displayed is a hyper-link that can be used to open a copy of the original. Included in the display of this copy is a "Resend" button which will re-deliver the original email to original destination address.
Once the resend is confirmed, users will be presented with the option of specifying whether future emails from that sender should be delivered.
This functionality means that while you may review and resend emails for any user, each user may also review the deleted email for just their address. More importantly, when an end-user specifies that certain senders should be allowed to deliver email to them in the future, this will not directly affect other users within your account.
Do we have to filter all Accounts and Aliases?
With our Spam Filtering for Businesses service, you create two separate lists of addresses for each of your domains.
Filtered - The list of your addresses that you want us to filter.
Not Filtered - Addresses for which you want us to accept mail, and to then deliver to your servers without passing through our content filtering.
You can manage both lists from the Email Accounts menu within the Support site. The two lists combined must total all of your valid and deliverable addresses, whether they resolve to unique mailboxes or are aliases and/or forwarders.
Note, the distribution of addresses between the two lists does not affect your billing, which is based on the total number of addresses for which we must carry traffic.
Additionally, because our Directory Harvest, Dictionary Attack and Zombie Machine defenses operate at the SMTP level, all addresses (whether content filtered or not) will benefit by a substantial reduction in spam.
What are the Daily Report emails?
What are the Daily Spam Report emails?
When enabled, our system creates and delivers a Daily Spam Report email for each email address.
The report provides a summary list of all the emails that we blocked for that email address the previous day.
The owner of the address can then use the links in the report to view and, if needed, retrieve any emails listed in the report.
How do we report spam that still reaches our end-users?
There are two options for reporting spam email that has penetrated through our filters.
The preferred option is to simply enable the "Spam Submission" option from within the Preferences menu for your account. This will authorize us to insert a "spam reporting" hyper-link into your inbound messages enabling end-users to "point and click" for reporting spam.
This feature not only provides real-time feedback to our filtering systems, but it also relieves your IT staff from the burden of having to manage spam submission complaints.
Alternatively, you may always make spam submissions to us via email, as long as you include the entire Internet Delivery Headers along with the offending email.
Can we forward external addresses to our domain?
Only if it's a non-filtered email address, otherwise no; Forwarding an external email account into an address that is protected by OnlyMyEmail will almost always result in severely reduced filtering accuracy and an increased rate of false-positives.
There is even the chance that the auto-forwarding server could become blocked by our firewall, resulting in all messages (spam and otherwise) being refused by our server and returned to the original sender as undeliverable.
This diminished accuracy occurs because, in these cases, it is always the relaying server that connects to our SMTP servers. The result of this is that our filters will only collect SMTP data from the forwarding server instead of being able to make filtering decisions based on a connection from the original sending server.
The end result (especially in the case of spam being auto forwarded) is that the relaying/forwarding server can ultimately can be inaccurately determined to be the spamming server.
Importantly, this does not only effect the person who has forwarded their email. Instead, the data collection and filtering decisions impact all mail sent by the relaying server (whether forwarded or not) and for every recipient within our system.
For these reasons, we prohibit users from forwarding external email addresses into accounts that are filtered and protected by our system. We will not filter such forwarded messages, and may refuse to accept them as well.
Add the original destination domain to our filtering system so that we can receive emails from the actual sender, instead of being relayed/forwarded.
Remove forwarding entirely and instead configure your email client software to pick up messaged directly from the receiving mail server.
How does OnlyMyEmail protect our email privacy?
We understand that the privacy and security of your email is of the highest importance to our clients and there are a number of features and security practices in place to protect the privacy of your correspondence.
The only emails we retain on our systems are those that are Spam or viruses and other categories you have specifically chosen to block. Otherwise, we simply filter your inbound email and then deliver the legitimate messages to your existing email servers.
Filtered emails kept on our servers are only held so that you may resend any emails that we should not have blocked, and these are purged after 14 days (336 hours).
All of our mail servers use TLS during SMTP communications.
The internal servers that analyze email (and that store your Spam) are not accessible from the Internet or exposed to external access in any way.
All emails we receive are decomposed into objects that cannot be readily viewed as email, but only interpreted through database access, and none of our databases servers are exposed to the Internet.
We do not have access to any of your outbound emails, as we only filter inbound messages.
As for the potential of an OnlyMyEmail employee reviewing your messages, we're only as secure as the people we hire. That said, even if an employee were interested, motivated and technically proficient it would still be nearly impossible to review your mail.
Realize that currently less than 5% of our inbound email traffic is deliverable (meaning the rest is spam, directory harvest and dictionary attacks) so finding any legitimate mail as it passes through our systems would be exceptionally difficult. This is especially true as there is no one fixed path or one specific server that would have to be accessed as many servers operate in parallel.
Picking out one specific domain or address from the 5% of legitimate traffic while it flows across multiple servers in real-time would likely exceed the capabilities of anyone inside or outside of our network.
Combined with the database model of managing our decomposed email objects, the chance of anyone inside or outside of our systems accessing your email is improbable, to say the very least.
However, if you are not comfortable with our standard policies and reputation, we do offer data-encryption service that will encrypt all of your communications (including spam) though every part of our system. The surcharge for this option is rather significant as it is based on a per message cost (including spam) of $0.0075 cents.
Do we still need anti-virus software on our systems?
While OnlyMyEmail will prevent viruses from reaching your servers through email, there are still several other vectors for infection including: web sites, instant messaging, Wi-Fi and LAN connections and/or intrusion through open ports.
This being the case, you should consider OnlyMyEmail's services as a first-step in virus protection, and not a replacement for running anti-virus applications on your network.
Does OnlyMyEmail provide email auto-responders?
Unfortunately, "auto-responders" are responsible for a great deal of unwanted email on the Internet. Spammers seldom use their real address when sending email and when they send to an account that will "auto-respond" this reply ends up being sent to an innocent bystander whose address was "spoofed" as the sender of the spam message.
It's not unheard of for such a person to receive tens of thousands of "auto-replies" to emails they never sent. Because of the great inconvenience this creates for people victimized in this manner, OnlyMyEmail does not provide any auto-response services to it's clients, nor do we use them ourselves.
Are there VAR or Reseller opportunities?
Yes. If your firm is involved in technology sales or consulting, then please visit the VAR Opportunities page for more information.

We all know and understand the importance of exercising. Not only do our bodies become stronger, our mental capability is also enhanced. Regular exercising is basal to maintaining a flourishing lifestyle.Elderly adults often ask about the gains and hazards of exercising. Research carried out proved that exercising has no health hazards. Instead, It has numerous health benefits.You can try different activities such as walking, going to the gym, practising yoga, adding more activeness to your normal chores etc.What are some of the beneficial advantages?
Most people expect to see results immediately. You need to keep going and be much more disciplined for you to have positive results. Remember that perseverance pays. As an older adult, it’s important to set your exercise goals. This will help you focus and achieve more than just waking up in the morning and deciding that you want to exercise. Setting your own exercising goals will make you achieve much more than expected.
Start slowly and avoid pushing yourself too much. This will help you avoid certain body aches especially if you have not been exercising for a long time. Always keep this in mind,”If you don’t make time for exercises, you’ll definitely have to make time for illness”.
Food is important for our general health and that’s why it’s important for us to watch what we eat. It’s very important that we always eat healthy. Avoid foods that contain too much sugar and calories. Foods that contain too much fat can make us sick. We can end up adding so much weight which might lead to other chronic diseases. We should also avoid sugary foods to avoid catching diseases such as diabetes and blood pressure. Healthy foods lead to healthy lives.
Stress is not good for senior adults.Stress kills very fast. Elder adults should keep off stress and anxieties if they want to maintain healthy physiques. Furthermore, stress brings about dangers such as high blood pressure, heart attacks and stroke. We wouldn’t want to see any of our seniors suffering from any of the above mentioned illness, would we? Supporting them regularly will help them avoid stress.
We should ensure that older adults practice all these mentioned activities to help them stay physically active.

Software support for i.MX 6 and i.MX 7 applications processors is expanding with Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Core to add to our Linux and Android BSP offerings.
Windows 10 IoT Core, an edition of Windows 10, is designed for building smart things and optimized to power intelligent edge devices, such as IoT gateways, robots, or conference room controllers.
And, our i.MX 6 and i.MX 7 product portfolios are one of the most popular IoT processor families in the industry. This planned commercial support enables IoT developers to create high performance, power optimized and industrial grade devices.
Ultimately, this means there is now more flexibility to design your cloud based systems for your hardware portfolio. This expansion of this new offering for the i.MX 6 and i.MX 7 families is an exciting step towards creating an operating system for all connected devices.
This collaboration with Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Core announced at Embedded World, exemplifies the combined power of a modern Microsoft OS with our popular family of i.MX 6 and i.MX 7 processors.
One of the key differentiators we have enabled on our i.MX 6 and i.MX 7 processors is trusted I/O. For this, we use Windows 10 IoT Core along with a unique capability of our processor to control I/O pins through TrustZone. This enables a level of secure operation for factory equipment or critical infrastructure that is highly beneficial in the IoT space. This premier trust technology is only possible today on Windows 10 IoT Core with i.MX 6 and i.MX 7.
Today NXP is excited to announce the planned commercial support for the NXP I.MX6 and i.MX 7 product line with Windows 10 IoT Core.
Several leading hardware vendors have produced Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT devices based on i.MX 6 with Windows 10 IoT Core enablement. These include both System-on-module (SoM) and additional board options giving flexibility to manufacturers interested in building devices.
Together with Microsoft, we will continue to advance our combined processor enablement solution with Windows 10 IoT Core. A final launch timeline for commercial availability is expected later this year.
