There definitely seems to be a lot of people that believe that because a food is exotic it is healthy. BIG MISTAKE! In my experience posh food can be every bit as unhealthy as your average Iceland item. By the way in the last year or so Iceland have really stepped up their game in the health department.
I’ve seen many hundreds of food diaries in my day, and clients have been tucking away close to 1000+ calories from foods that they think are healthy. Because they are perceived to be high quality. For example an article by the Independent highlighted that a Bacon & Brie panini had more calories (624) than a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder (518). So if you had decided to pop into Pret for a snack rather than McDonald’s (because you were trying to be healthy) you would have ended up eating more calories and gaining weight!
The answer here is to start measuring what calories you are consuming. If you aren’t using a calorie-counting app such as myfitnesspal then you are just guessing whether your food choice is correct, and we are useless at estimating calories. We have way too many pre-conceived ideas of what is healthy and what isn’t, and posh food is definitely a blind-spot for most!
Another issue that is becoming increasingly common is people getting confused by food marketing, on my desk at the moment is a packet of Sweet Chilli & Lemon Rice Sticks. My girlfriend’s nan somehow got hold of about 400 packets of the stuff. Looking at their packaging you would think that they were the healthiest snack of all time. They claim to be a source of protein, high in fibre, and only 96 calories per pack.
Amazing right? Well …. let’s examine these claims. Each pack contains a grand total of 3.8g of protein which is pretty poor, particularly if you have a big “source of protein” sticker on you. The fibre content is even lamer, 2.4g per pack. Yes if you ate 100g of these rice stick things you would be eating 18.2g of protein, and 11.4g of fibre which are decent amounts, but you would also be eating 20g of fat and a grand total of 457 calories. In other words the marketing department has pulled the wool over your eyes here. Something that is pretty common in the food industry. Now I’m not saying you should replace all posh food with crisps, but it wouldn’t necessarily hurt!
At the end of the day, tracking your calories is the only way to take control over your diet. Give it a go, your knowledge will increase your waist will shrink. You’ll also be able to annoy all your friends by calorie counting their food when you all go to dinner.

For the first time in years, the number of New Yorkers who smoke has surpassed one million people. New data from the New York City Department of Health shows that 16.1 percent of adults identified themselves as smokers last year, which is a significant increase from the 14 percent in 2010. This is the highest number of smokers in New York since 2007. City officials blame anti-smoking campaign budget cuts for the rise. Given that the budget cuts for anti-smoking campaigns is a national trend, it is more important than ever for New York to dedicate resources to tobacco control programs.
The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s budget for anti-smoking programs has been cut to $7.1 million, about half of its 2009 funds. In 2012, New York State spent only 16 percent of the $254 million recommended as an anti-smoking budget by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Meanwhile, New York State has the highest cigarette taxes in the nation, earning about $1.5 billion in 2012. Given this level of revenue, New York should be able to lead the nation in tackling the issue of high smoking rates.
At a time when cigarette smoking is on the rise, New York City’s budget must be adjusted accordingly to combat this trend. Anti-smoking legislation, such as advertisements and other programs that help people quell their addictions, must be given a higher priority in the city’s budget. Specifically, these anti-smoking campaigns must be aimed toward younger generations and infrequent smokers, as they are more likely to start smoking. New York City has implemented campaigns, such as offering free nicotine patches and advertisements that discourage smoking. However, Christine Curtis, an assistant health commissioner, notes that the strategies have not been as aggressive as they were since before the budget cuts. Given the success of the city’s anti-smoking campaigns in the past, it seems logical that the city would continue to invest in tobacco control programs.
However, Georges Benjamin, the executive director of the American Public Health Association, said a program’s success makes it more likely for its funding to be cut. “We have this terrible, terrible habit: we celebrate gains and the resources get pulled away from us,” Benjamin said. It is easy for the city to allocate its budget to its most pressing issues at the cost of other programs. However, tobacco control programs, like many others, require a continued financial commitment in order to be effective. Without additional funding, there is little chance that smoking in New York will decrease at the rate it once did.

We are often asked why Shure microphones have specific model number designations and what these stand for. The organizational structure of Shure model numbers is credited to our founder S.N. Shure. Mr. Shure was a very organized person. The Shure archive has an example of his daily diary, kept when he was 15 years old. Each daily entry recorded what he did in school, what homework he was assigned, and whom he played with after school. Mr. Shure loved organization.
Model 104C has a carbon element.
Model 450 Series II originally had a controlled magnetic element; it was replaced with a dynamic element, but the model number was kept.
Model 545SD-LC has a dynamic element.
What about other current Shure microphone lines?
So now you know the logic behind Shure microphone models numbers! Thanks to Michael Pettersen, Shure’s Director of Applications Engineering for providing this information.

FILE - Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama prays at Tsuglakhang temple in Dharmsala, India, May 27, 2017.
The Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, has again called on his fellow Nobel Peace Prize recipient Aung San Suu Kyi to peacefully end the Rohingya crisis.
"May I take the liberty of writing to you once again to tell you how dismayed I am by the distressing circumstances in which the situation seems to have deteriorated further," he wrote to Myanmar's de facto leader.
VOA's Tibetan Service received a copy of the letter, in which he refers to discussions the two had a few years ago, when he urged her to use her "influence to bring about a peaceful" resolution to the problems of the Muslim community. In June 2016, he urged her to "make efforts to reduce" the tension.
FILE - Aung San Suu Kyi talks during a news conference in Naypyitaw, Myanmar, Sept. 6, 2017.
"It is disappointing to observe that the problem appears to be getting worse and the violence is increasing," he wrote. The letter apparently was sent two weeks ago.
The Dalai Lama also warned Aung San Suu Kyi and other Myanmar leaders that not resolving the crisis peacefully could lead to "further unrest and destruction."
"I appeal to you and your fellow leaders to reach out to all sections of society to try to restore friendly relations throughout the population in a spirit of peace and reconciliation," he said.
The Tibetan Buddhist leader said this is not only a correct and "realistic way" for the nation to move forward, but also a way to "earn the world's goodwill and respect."
"As a fellow Buddhist and Nobel Laureate, I am appealing to you and your colleagues once more to find a lasting and humane solution to this festering problem," he said.
The Buddhist community protests violence against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Sept. 11, 2017.
On Friday, the Dalai Lama told reporters he had no doubt that Buddha would have helped the Rohingya people.
The Rohingya are a Muslim minority group in Myanmar, which is largely Buddhist. Most live in northern Rakhine state. The Myanmar government considers them illegal immigrants, although most families have been in the country for generations.
Late last month, a group called the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army attacked police posts in Rakhine, sparking a violent crackdown against Rohingya villages. More than 300,000 people have fled to Bangladesh, reporting deliberate attacks against civilians, including children.
Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, on Monday condemned the security operation in Rakhine state, saying it "seems a textbook example of ethnic cleansing."
Other Nobel laureates have called on Aung San Suu Kyi to take action, including South Africa's Bishop Desmond Tutu, Iranian rights activist Shirin Ebadi and the youngest recipient, Malala Yousafzai.
Some regional experts have noted that Aung San Suu Kyi leads a fragile new democracy and faces pressure from the country's military, which dominates Myanmar.

The Running Professor: Is Jared Ward a Favorite to Make the Olympic Marathon Men's Team Next Year?
Is Jared Ward a Favorite to Make the Olympic Marathon Men's Team Next Year?
March 17 2015. With his impressive, intelligent race this past Sunday in the Los Angeles Marathon, Jared Ward placed himself firmly into consideration as one of the favorites to make the Olympic Marathon Men's team next year. It is not only his thrilling victory and strongly negative splits that makes him such a strong candidate. It is the progression. From an initial Marathon in Chicago that was not that impressive, he moved up to run a very strong second in the 2014 USATF National Marathon Championship in the Twin Cities last October. His time was 2:14 but that is known as a tough course.
To win the 2015 USATF National Championship five months later on an easier course, but with much hotter conditions, marks him as a strong and flexible runner who can adjust to different circumstances. Under the tutelage of his coach, Ed Eyestone, Ward is developing nicely.
Until the last few months the members of the 2012 men's team, Meb Keflezighi, Ryan Hall, and Abdi Abdirahman, were generally considered the favorites. But Meb is the only one of those three with strong races in the last couple of years. We cannot count Ryan Hall out, despite another disappointing performance in L.A. Clearly he knows how to train hard and run a fast marathon. You do not run a sub 2:05 marathon at Boston by accident. Still, recent interviews suggest that he may not be as driven as other contenders. That is probably better for a fulfilling life, but it may not be the right attitude to punch a ticket to the Olympics.
So let's move Ward into that circle of favorites. But do not forget Tyler Pennel, who chose to run at the 15K National Championship in Jacksonville the day before the LA Marathon.
Tyler Pennel, heading uphill toward the finish line at the 2014 USATF Marathon Championship in the Twin Cities, with Jared Ward in the background.
Pennel had a spectacular debut marathon at last year's USATF Marathon Championship in October 2014. His time of 2:13:32 does not look spectacular, but the Twin Cities course is known to be challenging. Unlike Chicago, people do not go there to run a fast time. And it was his debut. And who did he beat by 28 seconds? Jared Ward finished second. So we must put Pennel in the mix as well. It should be fascinating to watch how things develop over the next 11 months...and to see if other contenders emerge.

Motorcycle electrical systems are arguably the most hated part of the bike to work on. In some cases, you can’t visually see what the problem is like you would be able to do with other components like a dirty carb or damaged piston ring. But electrical parts are crucial for a running bike. If you persevere and are able to pinpoint the problem, you want to be sure that you are replacing the faulty parts with quality ones to ensure that you won’t have to deal with it in the near future. At Dennis Kirk, you will be able find everything that you need from top brands that you can trust.
For many bikes, the battery is often the culprit. With their relatively short lifespan, they can become too weak to turn the bike over. With replacements ranging from the typical lead-acid all the way to the long lasting and light lithium batteries, you can choose whichever option that best fits your bike and budget. When the battery isn’t to blame, there is a host of other electrical components that can fail. Stators, coils, CDI and wiring can all fail. Fortunately there are direct replacements for just about all of these.
It’s crucial that your motorcycle lighting is operating at full capacity in order to see and to be seen at night and during the day. You can choose to use direct replacements or you can upgrade. LED headlights and driving lights can make riding at night feel almost like daytime, plus they use less power and last longer. Bright taillights, marker lights and turn signals are also important to gain the visibility that you need on a bike. Light bars are a great way to add even more light in the front of your bike to make night riding a little safer.
At Dennis Kirk, we carry a huge assortment of motorcycle electrical parts and components so you can find everything that you need in one place. Plus we keep everything in stock and ready to ship to you the same day that you order so you can get back to riding sooner. And when your order is over $89, we will ship it to you absolutely free. By using our Shop By Ride selector at the top of the page you will be able to see all of the electrical and lighting parts that we have for your bike. We know that troubleshooting electrical issues can be difficult, so be sure to check out our guide on How to Diagnose Electrical Problems. And if you still are unsure of what you need or what is wrong with your bike, our Tech Support Team is on hand to point you in the right direction.

As one who began his law practice with no employees and through the years built it into one of the largest personal injury / criminal defense firms in Maryland, and who then merged in 1999 with an even larger firm, I can tell you something is lost without that personal relationship with clients. Regardless of whether your circumstances require an expert lawyer for DUI/DWI cases, workers compensation, personal injury, auto accidents or legal help with an MVA hearing, that close, one to one attorney support just cannot be maintained in a large firm.
The reason I recently left the law firm of Saiontz, Kirk, & Miles, to once again form the Law Offices of Stephen L. Miles, was due to the realization that the happiest and most productive years of my legal career were when I was a sole practitioner. The reason is fairly simple – close personal client contact where I could achieve the greatest level of self-satisfaction. It wanted to recreate an atmosphere where I knew every client and each and every case in close detail. Even the finest, largest firms cannot do this. This also makes for better formulae in getting the best results possible for clients.
When you call the law offices of Stephen L. Miles, you will speak directly to me. That’s right…not a secretary or a para-legal. I will answer your call personally. If for some reason I am unavailable to answer your call, you have my personal guarantee that I will call you back within three hours or less. Of course the first call is FREE.

This article from Portland State University's Vanguard mentions the American Student Government Association.
Portland State students have one more day to vote in the Associated Students of Portland State University elections.
The most contentious item on the ballot this year is a proposed new constitution.
Put forth by former ASPSU Vice President Ethan Allen Smith, the proposed constitution would return ASPSU to a structure that focuses on direct representation and separation of powers.
This constitution outlines constituencies—groups of students that share a common feature, such as being first-year students or having majors in the Mark O. Hatfield School of Government—and requires that the senator representing the constituency be a member of that group. For instance, only a student whose major is in the Hatfield School of Government can be elected to represent that school.
“This direct representation of the students allows the senate to work more effectively on issues that affect the students at Portland State,” Smith said. “For example, students in the School of Business Administration may have issues and ideas that the students in the School of Art and Design may never contemplate.
Smith’s constitution would also separate the executive branch of student government from the senate. Smith feels that this separation will give ASPSU more checks and balances, similar to the United States Constitution.
Now, senators are assigned to constituencies after being elected.
Student fee committee Chair Nick Rowe doesn’t think Smith’s constitution would be a positive change. Rowe pointed out that ASPSU has been run on the constituency model before, and it was “so ineffectual at PSU even ASPSU recognized that it was time for it to go.
Rowe added that this would create a situation where not all PSU students would be able to serve in student government.
Rowe also objected to the fact that a senator who ceased being part of their constituency—say, by changing majors and going into a different college—would be forced to resign.
Butch Oxendine, the executive director of the American Student Government Association, also thinks requiring senators to be a part of the group they represent is a poor choice.
“I think that’s a mistake,” Oxendine said. He pointed out that most college students don’t pay much attention to their student government, and there aren’t many interested in running for office.
Smith said requiring senators to be members of the constituency they represent would mean those groups would have better advocates, but Oxendine disagrees.
“You can represent a constituency if you do your homework,” Oxendine said, adding that senators should reach out to the people they represent to find out what they want and need.
There is also a senate-sponsored constitutional amendment on the ballot. This amendment, if passed, would make several changes to the current constitution.
In reaction to the controversy caused when Smith proposed his constitution just three days before the ballot was to be finalized, the senate’s amendment specifies when referendums, amendments, and new constitutions must be submitted to the judicial review board so the language can be reviewed for clarity and lack of bias. The amendment would require the documents to be submitted at least one week before voting. It also specifies that new constitutions proposed by students have the signatures of at least 3 percent of the student body.
The amendment would change the term of office for members of the judicial review board to match that of the rest of ASPSU. Currently, justices in the JRB end their service on April 30, and the rest of ASPSU end their terms on May 31. The JRB is in charge of running student elections, so this amendment would ensure that the same JRB members would be in service for the entire election.
The amendment would also require that the senate have a two-thirds vote in favor in order to deny a JRB justice’s request to keep their position for the next year. Currently, only a majority vote is required.
The amendment would require the executive staff—such as the communications director, the legislative affairs director, publications director and the university affairs director—to help the JRB organize elections. The JRB and the executive staff would have to come up with an official plan for running elections by Nov. 30.
The amendment would allow the senate to appoint one member of the student fee committee. Currently, all eight members of the SFC are elected by the student body.
The amendment would also allow the JRB to choose if the president and vice president will be chosen by plurality—whoever gets the most votes wins—or by instant runoff. In instant runoff voting, voters give their top three choices. If a candidate gets more than half of the votes, that candidate wins. If no candidate gets more than half of the votes, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. The ballots that ranked that candidate as their first choice are then recounted, and the votes are given to the second choice on the ballot. PSU currently uses this system for student elections, but there are concerns that it is becoming too expensive. Allowing the JRB to choose which process is used is supposed to help ASPSU save money.
If both the constitutional amendments and Smith’s new constitution are passed, the new constitution will be put in place, and the amendments will be disregarded.

Alìe, or “Halia”, a figure from Greek mythology, a sea nymph and a symbol of sensuality and beauty.
Alìe, an elegant rosé with a pale pink hue and subtle ruby highlights, is a stylish, beautifully-balanced blend of Syrah and Vermentino, varieties that express their finest qualities when grown near the sea. Scents of white flowers, wild strawberries and citrus peel combine with a hint of earthy minerality, typical of this growing area. With its delicate structure and lengthy, complex finish, Alìe is both an enchanting aperitif wine, as well as a delicious accompaniment to a meal shared with close friends and family.
The 2018 growing season was marked by abundant rainfall and a few snow storms during the winter, allowing for sufficient water reserves to be stored in the soil. Additional heavy rain in the spring caused a slight delay in sprouting. After this initial period, rising temperatures led to regular plant development. Very hot summer days contributed to splendid grape ripening and magnificent aromatic development. The sun and refreshing sea breezes of September were perfect companions during the harvest period, both leading to a compositional balance typical of this micro-climate.
Alìe’s secret lies in the combination of its territorial features, the management of the vineyard and, of course, the human element. Proximity to the sea, vineyard cultivation typical of white varieties and a production process off the skins for the Syrah variety all give life to Alìe. From the vineyard to the cellar, attention to detail is fundamental. Once harvested, the grapes are quickly transported to the cellar in order to not spoil or damage the bunches. One of the highlights of Alìe’s production is the crushing stage. In the absence of oxygen, the bunches are loaded whole into the press. The pressure applied during this phase is of the utmost softness and delicacy. This process, together with the careful selection of the must and its subsequent decanting for no less than 12 hours, makes it possible to eliminate all the vegetal components that would otherwise make the wine unpleasant.
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of less than 20°C. After ageing on fine lees for a few months, including a subsequent period in the bottle, Alìe 2018 is finally ready to entice and captivate with each passion imbued sip.
Alìe 2018 stands out for its extreme sensuality. Its pale pink colour with peach nuances immediately expresses its intriguing personality. The sharp and unmistakable bouquet floods the senses with intoxicating Mediterranean aromas that meld with the fragrances of fresh and ripe fruit. September peach bursts forth followed by floral notes with subtle scents of rose. The result is an extremely mellow, fine and elegant nose. In the mouth, the fruity notes return, with the addition of captivating touches of citrus such as pink grapefruit. Little by little, a tangy undertone elegantly makes its entrance into this whirlwind of flavour sensations. Alìe 2018 is full, silky and deep, with an after-taste that explodes in a succession of fresh and persistent aromas.

Dr. Straka is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and has completed a rigorous two year fellowship in oculofacial plastic surgery by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He specializes in the comprehensive evaluation of medical and cosmetic concerns affecting the entire face and structures around the eyes. We offer a full service of non-invasive, minimally invasive, and surgical solutions for facial and peri-orbital rejuvenation. As with all patients, the utmost care is taken to provide patients with an individual treatment plan in order to achieve a natural result.
BOTOX® Cosmetic, DYSPORT®, and XEOMIN® are a group of neurotoxins composed of purified proteins administered in a simple non-surgical injection that temporarily improves the appearance of facial wrinkle lines. Because of how well it works and how much patients enjoy the results, BOTOX® and other neurotoxins have become the most common cosmetic procedure in the United States.
Dr. Straka is highly trained in the administration of all types of cosmetic facial and dermal fillers. The hyaluronic acid gels (Restylane family, Juvederm family, Belotero Balance) are a safe and natural group of cosmetic dermal fillers that restore volume and fullness to the skin and facial structures to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. They are also used to enhance and rejuvenate the volume of the lips. The fillers have been used in more than 1.5 million treatments in over 60 countries to correct a variety of wrinkles. The effects persist for 6 to 24 months depending on the type of filler used and its location. We also offer longer lasting filler options including RADIESSE® (calcium hydroxyl apatite) and SCULPTRA® (poly L-lactic acid). These fillers are different than hyaluronic acid gels in that they promote collagen formation for a more lasting effect.
Dr. Straka also provides the option of autologous fat transfer for facial volumization and rejuvenation. Using liposuction, fat can be harvested from other parts of the body, usually the flank or abdomen, and transferred to the face to provide a natural, youthful appearance. This is usually performed in the operating room and can be combined with other surgical procedures.
KYBELLA® (deoxycholic acid) is the first FDA-approved treatment for fullness in the submental neck fat or “double chin”. Despite diet changes and exercise many people have trouble getting rid of fullness in this area. For those not interested in liposuction, KYBELLA® may be an excellent option. It is given as a series of injections spaced anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks apart. Some patients will be happy with just one treatment; others will require multiple treatments to reach their goal.
Chemical peels help treat skin irregularities, wrinkling and discoloration. There are different levels of treatment for different problems. Some treatments have a very brief recovery process and may be given as “lunch time peels.” Other peels, with more dramatic results, may require a several day recovery process. Sometimes a series of light peels is recommended and peels maybe combined in the same treatment with Microdermabrasion.
Microdermabrasion is a gentle technique for removal of superficial skin irregularities, fine wrinkling and pigmentary discoloration. A strong vacuum and particles or a diamond tip device are used to remove the superficial epidermis. Although one treatment will result in noticeable changes in skin texture, multiple treatments are necessary for the best results. After a treatment, some redness and crusting are common, but usually not enough to require time off for recovery. Microdermabrasion is a nice way to “jump start” a topical skin care program to get better penetration. Microdermabrasion is also used prior to some chemical peels to get deeper penetration of the chemical peels.
Microneedling is a unique procedure to help improve the appearance of fine lines and skin discoloration. A highly specialized device efficiently delivers small needles into the skin at specific depth chosen by the physician. These small micro-inuries stimulate the growth of collagen, elastin, and other important component of healthy skin to give more youthful and healthy skin. The procedure is painless when performed with topical anesthesia cream and patients can typically expect to have 1 to 2 days of mild redness after the treatment. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) can be added to the procedure to improve the results. Micorneedling can also be used effectively to treat acne scars and post-surgical scars.
BBL Laser: The powerful BroadBand Light™ (BBL) system is used for skin rejuvenation and elimination of a number of vascular and pigmentary conditions including rosacea and age spots. Using a Sciton Joule laser, the appropriate wavelength and treatment settings will be selected to achieve optimal results. The light energy pulses delivered by the BBL gently heats up the top layers of the skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas coagulates tissue. This process helps restore your skin to a more youthful state and eliminate unwanted brown and red spots. BBL can also be used for permanent hair reduction by simply changing the wavelength filter and laser settings.
The eyes are often the first thing people notice about your face and are an important aspect of facial appearance. As we mature, upper and/or lower eyelids may become “droopy” or “baggy” because the eyelid skin stretches, muscles and tendons weaken, bone remodels, and fat pockets bulge and become more prominent. Your eyebrows also may sag or droop as part of this same process, and this adds to the excessive tissue in the upper eyelid. Aesthetically, such conditions may detract from the overall attractiveness of one’s eyes and cause a “tired” or older appearance. When severe, these conditions also may cause functional problems, such as impaired field of vision (baggy upper eyelids) or difficulty wearing glasses (baggy lower eyelids). The eyelid problems are treated with a procedure called blepharoplasty.
The position of the forehead and eyebrows plays an important role in the perception of one’s mood. A droop in the brows can imply tiredness or anger. The gradual downward repositioning of the brows from gravity and aging can lead to heaviness of the upper lids as the brow tissue drops into the eyelids. Repositioning of the eyebrows and forehead may diminish the wrinkles, improve the expression of mood, and open the heaviness of the upper eyelids. Forehead repositioning can be accomplished by many surgical techniques. The most appropriate technique will depend on a patient’s goals and a discussion with your surgeon during and after the exam. The most common technique performed by our surgeons is an endoscopic brow lift. This is an outpatient local anesthetic procedure with hidden incisions. Small incisions are made in the scalp and endoscopic technology is used to access the forehead and eyebrows. The squinting muscles are weakened to decrease the lines between the eyebrows. The eyebrows are lifted and contoured. Strenuous physical activity is limited for 10 days and bruising and swelling diminishes over one to three weeks. Botox treatments are sometimes recommended in association with the brow lift procedure.
As people age, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, loss of elasticity of the skin, cigarette smoking and the stresses of daily life can be seen in their faces. Creases form between the nose and mouth; the jaw line develops jowls, folds and fat deposits appear around the neck, and the cheek fat descends down toward the mouth. There are numerous cosmetic procedures designed to alter these changes, and sometimes the terminology is confusing. “Facelift” is the terminology used to describe a number of different techniques that are all designed to improve facial aging changes. A facelift can’t stop the aging process. What it can do is “set back the clock,” improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of the face and neck. A facelift can be done alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or neck lift.
Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the neck underneath the skin. Although no type of liposuction is a substitute for dieting and exercise, liposuction can remove stubborn areas of fat that don’t respond to traditional weight-loss measures. Neck liposuction will diminish the pouch of fleshy tissue just behind and beneath the chin. If one has large amounts of extra skin, then liposuction alone will not be enough to improve the redundant skin and surgical neck or face-lifting techniques are combined with neck liposuction.
Plastic surgeons use facial implants to improve and enhance facial contours. Frequently, these implants will help provide a more harmonious balance to your face and features so that you feel better about the way you look. There are many implants available, manufactured from a variety of materials. They come in many different sizes and may be trimmed to suit the individual patient. They may help strengthen a jaw line or bring the chin or cheekbones into balance with the rest of the face. Cheek implants help to define the prominence beneath the eyes and to support the lower eyelid. Cheek implants, or tear trough implants, can improve the smoothness of the junction between the lower eyelid and the cheek. When the natural cheek fat descends, the cheek implants may be use separately or together with a mid-face lift to recontour the cheek.
Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone. Chin surgery helps provide a harmonious balance to your facial features so that you feel better about the way you look.
Laser Resurfacing: Aging changes in the skin take many forms including dyschromatopsias (color changes, brown and red spots), loss of elasticity and volume, wrinkle formation, and texture irregularities. Many of the changes are the result of prior sun damage, but smoking also plays an important role. Improving one’s skin texture and tone is a vital component of comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Laser resurfacing procedures are performed using the Sciton Joule Erbium:Yag laser, one of the most technologically advance resurfacing systems on the market. Our physicians have the ability to tailor the treatment to achieve the results you desire and reduce unwanted wrinkles on the face including around the eyes and mouth.

Microsoft's much-heralded Windows 7 went on sale around the world Thursday as the US software giant seeks to reboot after the disappointment of its previous generation operating system Vista.
Windows 7 made its global debut to generally good reviews with most technology analysts and users who tested a demo version praising it as a significant improvement on the much-maligned Vista.
"We think our customers will enjoy the new capabilities, the speed, the performance," Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said at a Windows 7 launch event in New York. "There's more you can do with this system.
"The range and diversity of the application software is unsurpassed."
By the time the day was a minute old, Microsoft workers were handing out Windows 7 software as gifts at a party the US technology giant held at a San Francisco night club to coincide with a Web 2.0 Summit.
"Now we see if real people love Windows," said Brian Hall, general manager of Microsoft's Windows Live business group.
Feedback from the millions of test users has Microsoft confident they have hit the mark with the new-generation operating system, which reportedly logged more pre-orders in Britain than the final Harry Potter book.
"This is the most customer excitement we've had in a long time for a Windows release," Hall said.
Microsoft is also celebrating the availability of Windows 7 with parties and by opening its first retail shop, in the US city of Scottsdale, Arizona.
The shop features netbooks, laptops, desktop computers, Zune players, Xbox 360 videogame consoles, and mobile phones running on Microsoft software.
A second Microsoft store will open in northern California next week.
Microsoft on Thursday also began selling Windows-powered PCs from companies such as Sony, Dell, and Lenovo in its online store.
Microsoft hired David Porter, a retail industry veteran, in February to open retail stores that challenge the successful chain of Apple Stores operated by the maker of iPhones, iPods, and Macintosh computers.
The launch of Windows 7 is expected to open the flood gates for low-priced, feature-rich personal computers based on the operating system.
"We have great PCs coming out for Windows 7," Hall said.
NPD analyst Stephen Baker told of visiting a major US consumer electronics shop the weekend prior to the launch to find Vista-based computers were not to be found and shelves were stocked with Windows 7 machines.
"Someone did a great job in the supply chain making this happen," Baker said in a blog post.
"This will give Windows 7 a tremendous boost out of the gate."
An upgrade from Vista or the previous operating system Windows XP to the most basic version of Windows 7 costs 120 dollars in the United States.
Analyst Rob Enderle of Silicon Valley's Enderle Group said the Windows 7 launch is a "big deal for Microsoft.
"Windows Vista was a train wreck," he said.
While computer users may not give much thought to the operating systems that serve as the brains of their machines, they are at the heart of Microsoft's global software empire that runs more than 90 percent of the world's computers.
Among the new features in Windows 7 is a redesigned taskbar for launching programs and switching windows, enhanced ability to share files with other PCs, improved photo and video editing software and the ability to stream digital music or video to other devices.
Windows 7 also features Microsoft's latest Web browser, Internet Explorer 8.
"It's a fun day to work in Windows," Ali Parker of Microsoft's Windows team said while providing operating system tips to people trying the software in a Bing lounge at the Web 2.0 Summit.
"It's been a long time since we got this positive feedback. Even Mac users are talking about going home this weekend to run Windows 7 in parallel on their computers."
Microsoft shares gained 0.04 percent on Wall Street on Thursday to close at 26.59 dollars.
"Microsoft's much-heralded Windows 7 operating system made its global debut on Thursday."
Aren't all of them "much heralded". I'll wait and see. That seems to be the best advice when MickeyMouseSoft is the topic.
I have to say that comparing Disney's Mickey Mouse to Microsoft is a huge insult to Disney. When Disney does something they usually do it right.

Editor’s note: A version of this article first appeared on Jan. 14. It has been updated.
Earlier this month, few outside of Venezuela knew of Juan Guaidó. But the 35-year-old industrial engineer has suddenly emerged as a cause celebre, heralded by global leaders for his challenge to the near-total President Nicolás Maduro.
Following May elections internationally derided as a fraudulent power grab, Maduro was sworn in for a new six-year term on Jan. 10. One day later, Guaidó — the head of the opposition-controlled National Assembly — took a step Venezuelan critics had long considered too dangerous: invoking articles in the constitution that allow the head of the assembly to assume national leadership if a “usurper” takes office.
On Wednesday, hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans poured into the streets in planned protests to demand Maduro’s ouster. That day, Guaidó took the ultimate step and declared himself “president in charge” and the legitimate leader of the country. The Trump Administration and a host of other governments immediately recognized him as such.
“We will stay on the street until Venezuela is liberated!” Guaidó told a crowd in Caracas that day.
Maduro is not going quietly, if at all. He has reasserted his claim to the presidency and ordered the expulsion of U.S. diplomatic personnel — a directive the Trump administration has refused to comply with fully. He also garnered public support from long-time allies Russia and China, among others. But in a socialist country buckling under the weight of corruption, mismanagement and hyperinflation that has left food and medicine scarce, the relatively unknown, inexperienced Guaidó has energized the moribund opposition.
Guaidó’s Twitter bio describes him simply as a “public servant” who is “in love with Venezuela.” He has held one public post when he was elected legislator for the state of Vargas, in 2015. Before that, he was part of a student movement that protested then-President Hugo Chávez in 2007.
The son of a commercial pilot and teacher, Guaidó grew up in a middle-class family, one of eight children. His mentor, Leopoldo López, founded the Popular Will party in 2009 and led a wave of protests in 2014 before being jailed. He is still under house arrest.
Guaidó inherited the top post at the Popular Will party, partly because most of its leadership has been jailed or fled the country. On Jan. 5, he was named the head of the opposition-controlled National Assembly, which maintains broad recognition internationally despite having been stripped of its powers by Maduro in 2017.
On Jan. 13, Guaidó was on his way to a rally just outside Caracas when he was intercepted by the intelligence police, forced into a van and detained for about 45 minutes. He was released unharmed, but his detention showed how dangerous his bid to oust Maduro had become. It also showed how quickly he had captured the public’s imagination: In just one day, he tripled his Twitter followers — from 100,000 to 334,000.
His detention followed arguably the most radical step the country’s opposition had taken since Maduro rose to power in 2013, succeeding the leftist firebrand Chávez, who died of cancer that year. Violent repression of protests in 2017 led to the deaths of more than 100 people. Since then, the opposition has fizzled.
Guaidó, however, began to gain traction. Chile and Colombia expressed support for the National Assembly. The head of the Organization of American States, Luis Almagro, and Brazil’s new far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, effectively recognized Guaidó as Venezuela’s interim president, even though he had not yet claimed that mantle himself.
Some today may also be asking that question, but for a very different reason.

Speaking of giving our kids the gift of an education, I would like to share with you this article I found from Focus on the Family, 10 Ways to Boost Your Child’s Academic Potential. I really like the way they discuss educating children as a team effort. This quote really resonated with me, "Education is a team endeavour," says teacher Carolyn Wakefield. "The teachers, parents, students and community are all members of this team. If one member is not involved, the student’s education will suffer."
So if we are all a team, what is it that matters most on the home front? Being a former English teacher, I love that the number one suggestion is to READ, READ, READ. The importance of reading on brain development cannot be over-emphasized. We know that reading helps kids learn to organize their thoughts, it teaches sentence structure and is the best way to build vocabulary.
When I am speaking to parents about home/school communicating, I hear the same thing over and over again, which is, “I do not want to be a bother” or “I know how busy you all are and I do not want to add to your stress.” These are kind gestures, but the truth is, it helps us out when you communicate with us. More importantly, it helps your child out when there is regular communication between teachers, school administration, and home (See #6). This also models good behavior because we also know that students who communicate regularly with their teachers do better in and outside of school.
I am not going to go through every one of the steps outlined in this article, but I like the recurring themes about raising healthy children.
Being that yesterday was Veterans Day and next week is Thanksgiving, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the veterans out there for their service to our country. It never ceases to amaze me the dedication, commitments and sacrifice it takes to serve our country. And thank you to all the families out there who give their time and energy to help support our schools. I truly do believe that strong schools build even stronger communities. Have a happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Self-awareness is an essential leadership quality to be successful in life and your career. Knowing what motivates you helps you tap into drive and ambition you may not even know you have.
What I’ve learned over the past 45 years is that I am a goals-oriented person who always needs to focus on a new challenge and achievement to stay motivated. At work, I pour 100% of me into building a team of people aligned around achieving the strategic goals of an organization. As soon we realize the achievements, it's on to the next new challenge.
Getting healthy was the goal of Summer 2018. Now that Autumn is here I needed a new challenge to put my fitness to the test.
Admittedly I didn’t know much about Mount Kilimanjaro until I stood at its base 20 years ago. I was a curious young man from a small rural community in Newfoundland traveling and exploring the world for the first time. I was in complete awe of the tallest freestanding mountain in the world rising so magnificently above the baobab trees in the Serengeti with its beautiful snow-capped peak. I knew I would come back and complete the trek to the summit. It was just a matter of preparing and prioritizing.
Nearing my 46th birthday and being the fittest of my life was the motivation I needed. Tomorrow I leave for Cuzco in the Andes Mountains of Peru to complete my training. Then, just two weeks from today I will begin my trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. If all goes as planned, I will reach the peak on October 23rd at sunrise.
It’s a world wind of emotion to be so close to an experience that everyone describes as life-changing and cathartic.
Stay tuned for my next post from the first cellular/WIFI signal I can find in Tanzania after completing this fantastic trek.

The function sendAdminCopy() tries to send to an empty email address when the configuration item admin_addresses is empty, i.e. there are no other admins to copy on the email. This error gets caught and logged in the event log.
The cause is the php explode() function which, for an empty string, returns an array of one element, not an empty array.

National Geographic has a program where you can submit a DNA sample and be told your genetic history, where your ancestors came from and how they have migrated. That would be fun to see.
10 years ago I worked as a computer programmer for a company that did testing for organ transplants. That wasn't primarily DNA testing, but serological testing. I.e. one tests reactions between different drops of blood, and one measures against HLA, Human Leukocyte Antigens, on a section of chromosome 6, which has characteristic markings, which happen to be useful for testing tissue compatibility. Anyway, they also showed me charts like that, where the different types had been tracked over time in different parts of the world, and migratory patterns revealed. And I got a kick out of that they frequently wanted my blood, because it apparently was tricky to type, so they would use it for verifying the correctness of some of their tests. It is nice to be special.
This is a really inltleigent way to answer the question.
Looks to be silk in a small floral pattern. Waistcoats tended to be luxurious and bright around this time – probably even more so than Holmesâ€™ on the poster. Unlike Watson, Holmesâ€™ waistcoat is not intended to form part of the emerging â€˜lounge suitâ€™. Note too that it has a stand collar and no la.Besplest place to get one? In all honesty, probably a wedding hire shop.

This morning’s walk took me further, beyond my usual route, ending up with my feet in the mud at the edge of the shore. There I could feel the energy of a storm just gone through the east, lapping in the heavy wake. My west coast people are concerned for me in these storms. I keep telling them to look at a map….see exactly where I am……”Go to Lake Ontario, about the center of the U.S. shore, straight down, the small lake shaped like a ‘Y’? I am there, at the southern end”. The storm didn’t reach here, today is filled with sun & blue sky, not snow.
The inspirational push to my boundaries this morning was a blog post. Reading it urged me to see a different vision, suggested expanding my horizon. And I did, and it worked. Though it all seems like an outer experience- “different vision” & “expanded horizon”- it’s not. It is happening on, which seems to be my theme these days, an Inner Level.
In the sound of the water, beyond the secure and known in which I create over and over in order to feel safe, I sense safety in the unknown. I watch the wake in it’s effortless push to shore. A flow. The process of this flow…. trustworthy.
Yes, today, down at the lake, watching the wake, effortlessly.
