January 13, 2010 (CHICAGO) --A Chicago homeless shelter that was on the verge of shutting down may be able to survive.The Inner Voice shelter has been helping the homeless for over 25 years. But the organization was $300,000 in debt and said without additional funding it would have to close.
Seventy thousand dollars in recent donations will allow the shelter to save 494 beds. But it still needs another $150,000 to keep five other shelters open.
The agency also said that a founding member of inner voice, Adley "Dave" Davis has passed away.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

An annotated bibliography contains your list of references, properly cited, with additional notes following each reference. When working on a research paper or project, building a bibliography with notes that reflect on how each source could be used for that paper or project can be a very helpful practice.
There are many good sample annotated bibliographies online and explanations of how to build them. A couple of worthwhile examples:
The Modern Language Association style is most commonly used in the humanities. The latest version is 8, which came out in April 2016.

Dhaka After Dark
Dhaka, Bangladesh
From USD 85.00
Office phone number: +88 0178 7751 865
Culture shock rating
Worried we're going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We've got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don't worry, you'll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that's on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you'll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
You're out there in the global community! We're going to take you down streets you'd rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it's worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we've got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Most of the shows here are performed by professional drama troupes, so you're sure to see an excellent performance!
Once the show is over, we'll ride a rickshaw into the old part of the city, a district that's famous for its fabulous street food. Chapatti, nan, biriyani, and many other dishes are the delicacies you'll find here, and you'll be free to browse the stalls and grab any delights that catch your eye and tempt your taste buds! We'll also walk around the area and see classic sites like the ancient Hussaini Dalan (the city's main religious site of the Shia Muslim community) and the beautiful Dhaka University.
This walking tour is a unique opportunity to see the real Dhaka after dark — you'll hang out with locals, see some authentic culture, and enjoy delicious traditional cuisine!

CEO Nomad On a Quest to See, Experience, and Make a Difference
Living and working to inspire
What do you think of when you hear "CEO?" If you're like most people, you probably envision a person in a power position directing their company from behind a desk. Drew Gerber of Wasabi Publicity, Inc. is redefining what it means to be a CEO and, beyond that, he has invited us all to reimagine what success really looks like. Here's what we mean.
At the age of 15, Drew had a vision, what he likes to call an "aha moment." Hearing the adult conversations swirl around him, he observed how the art of conversation itself had the transformative power to inspire action and change people's lives. It was then he knew he wanted to serve people through empowering conversations… but that path wasn't as simple as from A to B for Drew.
His passion for chemistry led him to a degree in chemical engineering, but that inner knowing from age 15 only grew inside him, driving him to connect with personal and professional transformation group Landmark where he participated, worked and eventually led courses. And when a serendipitous meeting with another Landmark graduate, Michelle Tennant Nicholson, led to another "aha moment," Drew listened and the two launched Wasabi Publicity in 2002.
illuminarci –
* Italian, verb, first-person plural infinitive, "ih-loo-muh-nar-chee"
* meaning: to light up or illuminate
Drew believes conversations have the power to change the world — that they shape how we think, how we feel, how we act and we how experience the world around us. He believes conversations hold the keys to creating a world that works for everybody.
Not all conversation have an impact, but those that bring clarity, lighten people's burdens and illuminate the path to inspired action hold within them the seeds of meaningful change. We all have such conversations within us, whether individually or as part of the collective whole. In creating Wasabi Publicity, Drew's goal was to build a company around his passion to help clarify those conversations and share them with the world. By doing so, he has ignited the passion in others.
"I believe the best way to be heard is to listen," says Drew. "I believe the unseen is as important as the seen. I believe authenticity speaks volumes. I believe answers are a trap and questions are where life happens. I believe in human kind. I believe we are human beings not human doings. I believe that being present transforms life."
A CEO Nomad with Impact
A nomad is an explorer, a wanderer, one who is continually curious, continually searching. Drew Gerber is a nomad in life—in his journey from chemical engineering to PR—as well as on the map. Always open to the next adventure, Drew has made his home in Saluda, NC, in Budapest, Hungary and in Stara Moravica, Serbia. His ongoing goal has been to live life in service to the following questions:
What makes a difference?
What inspires change?
Landing in a small Serbian village to renovate a home and creating an IT school there to empower locals with better job prospects.
Designing Wasabi Publicity as a virtual company back when this was unheard of in the corporate community and inviting talented people around the globe from a variety of professions to come together as a team of publicity innovators.
Inventing the first online press kit and in turn, propelling Wasabi Publicity clients into the media's awareness by inventing the tools to do so more effectively than ever before.
And the pattern continues. This CEO nomad is already looking for the next place on the map where he can transform a property and a community. Wasabi Publicity has moved from creating the first online press kits to being forerunners in harnessing the power of social media to now working to create powerful video solutions in today's hot streaming market.
Do the Hokey Pokey, Turn Yourself Around
In Wasabi Publicity, CEO Drew Gerber created a firm that serves as a nomadic guide to its clientele, leading the way through the shifting sands of the ever-changing media landscape, offering an understanding of not only the destination but of how to navigate the journey and enjoy yourself in the process.
Wasabi Publicity is a global, eclectic, creative and innovative team committed to making the world a better place. They are publicists, journalists, TV producers, web developers, designers, social media experts, thought leaders and more. Drew is quick to add, he is also a hokey-pokey connoisseur.
Wasabi Publicity turns the conversation around for their clients with innovative excellence in services such as:
* full web build-outs
* creative branding services
* crowd-sourced social media
* marketing that matters
* game-changing content creation
* meaningful media relationships
"The way we do business is as important as the business itself," Drew shares. "PR isn't about getting people to do something; it's about causing inspired action. We listen for your greatness and we help you share it with the world. We're changing the conversation around what it means to be human."

The purpose of this research was to explore the family as a unit, in particular the effects on the multigenerational family when at least one person is giving care to an adult over the age of 65. While, most prior research focused on the caregiver, this study looked at family as a whole single unit. The respondents were asked to describe how the caregiving affected them personally as well as how it affected the family.
The sample for this study included 16 adult family members of caregivers for a person over age 65. Data was collected utilizing an online survey. Respondents were recruited with the assistance of local senior assisted living and apartment communities and by some postings in local social work groups.
Respondents voiced that life was now stressful and frustrating. Although some revealed there were benefits, many stated the caregiving affected the family in an adverse way. This study confirmed the idea that having a family member caring for an older adult member does affect the dynamics of the whole family.

I am a firm believer that animal abuse is a pre-cursor to human abuse. Abusers experiment with their sadism on animals until it no longer fulfills them. The natural progression is to move up the food chain. Anyone who hurts a living and breathing being needs help and punishment. They need adequate consequences for their actions. If not, their egos will continue to control, dominate and manipulate other beings to fulfill their twisted fantasies. Ultimately, it is their egos seeking recognition for their perceived power over life and death. It is sheer foolishness that needs to be addressed with acomprehensive program of treatment AND punishment.
The ego's perceptions of the consequences must be sufficient in order to stifle aberrant action long enough for them to receive the proper treatment of the 'learned behaviors' that have caused this aberrance. Some might say that the only exception is sociopathy; however, since it is a just a more intense combination of internal chemistry and external triggers it is 'treatable' as well. No human being is 'beyond hope'.
Giving up on the proper and effective treatment of aberrance comes from NOT finding the proper course of treatment that works. Too many throw their hands up in the air because they don't believe that treatment is effective. Remember, the engrams that were imprinted to reflect these behaviors are programmable. De-programming and re-programming is necessary in order to effect change. Just because we haven't discovered what 'works' doesn't mean thatwe never will. It simply means that we haven't found the solution to changing aberrance effectively.
Expressing aberrance comes from an internal acceptance of the ego's powers of control, domination and manipulation. It believes that it is solely responsible for the protection of itself and continually arranges circumstances to reflect that as being the truth. However, it is NOT the truth because the ego is NOT all-seeing. It only sees what it believes is either harming it or helping it. It defends, fights and resists that which it determines is the cause of its problems. It cannot see beyond itself because it wants to be in charge.
It is very difficult for it to trust anything, even the Divine. It will go out of its way to choose, use and abuse what it believes is blocking its way from self-recognition. Always pointing to itself for your good, it will deceive you into believing it is right; even over the guidance of the Spirit of God. As long as your ego occupies center stage in your life, you will make choices that interfere with you growth, expansion and success in fulfilling your Divine purpose in Divine order. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D. (Spirituality Guidance Channel)

After the success of Amaluna, Cirque du Soleil returns to London with OVO.
Having thrilled more than 4.5 million people worldwide since the show premiered in Montreal in 2009, OVO will make its European debut later this year followed by performances at the Royal Albert Hall for Cirque Du Soleil's annual residency in London.
OVO, meaning "egg" in Portuguese, is a headlong rush into a colourful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement. When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles of their lives.
The cast of OVO is comprised of 50 performing artists from 12 countries specializing in many acrobatic acts. One highlight of OVO is the stunning Flying Act in which a group of scarabs soar high above the stage, from both edges to the middle landing on a platform.
Don't miss this spectacular show at the iconic Royal Albert Hall.
Packed with wall to wall, floor to ceiling highlights, with OVO they've cracked it again

PC Chris Findley death: Dale Dixon, 19, sentenced
A teenager who killed an off-duty police officer has been sentenced to three-and-a-half years in a young offenders institution.
PC Chris Findley, 33, suffered severe head injuries in the attack outside Divine Bar nightclub in Wolverhampton on 28 January.
He was left unconscious in the road and died in hospital 10 days later.
Dale Dixon, 19, from Wednesfield had pleaded guilty to manslaughter at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
The court was played CCTV footage which showed Dixon, from New Heath Close, sprinting towards PC Findley and punching him in the face, causing him to fall backwards.
His nose was broken in three places and he was knocked unconscious.
The court heard the punch was thrown after PC Findley had pushed a woman who had attacked him outside the club in Darlington Street at about 04:00 GMT.
'Infectious personality'
Sentencing Dixon, Judge John Warner, said: "An innocent man has unnecessarily and tragically lost his life.
"You had no intention of causing really serious injury, let alone anything worse but, as a result of your violent action, a man has died."
PC Findley's mother Jackie Tabrett said she would "never come to terms" with his death.
"He joined [the police] to keep people safe and protect them from harm and to put those individuals responsible for committing crime into the justice system," she said.
"It's hard to believe that one of those people is responsible for taking my son's life."
West Midlands Police said PC Findley, who was single, had worked in neighbourhood police teams in Sandwell.
Ch Supt Mark Robinson said he had a "warm, infectious personality and sense of humour".
He said. "Chris was a proactive, hard-working officer who was a credit to the service and the communities of Sandwell. He will be sadly missed."

|Does your life move so fast you feel like if you blink you'll miss it? Or maybe your family is moving in a million different directions and it feels impossible to slow them down and just spend time together? Well you're not alone. Check out how our fantastic panel of parents handle spending time with their families. Maybe you'll get some ideas...or at least will realize that we're all in this together.
|Family of Six Divides & Conquers...But Only Until Dinner Time
"Even as a stay-at-home mother, there just never seems to be enough of time. It is so elusive. Time is needed for working, shopping, eating, sleeping, praying . . . even the most mundane tasks take away chunks of the precious commodity. I often find that either my husband is spending time with the kids or I am, because of the ages of our children and to-do lists. Because of our two-year old son, true family time is often hard to come by, since his abilities, attention span, and personality do not allow for it. We usually have to divide and conquer at this stage. My husband is the One-Man Wonder Gym, so when the kids spend time with him it is often physical—climbing, wrestling, tickle fights, etc. Each person in our family has a "food" name and is chosen into the fray by identifying what someone is "hungry" for. For example, we have Daddy-donuts, Mommy-muffins, Catey-Cakes, and Matts-potatoes—even our youngest gets in on the names and tousling. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I'm the cuddler. I like calm moments where I can either curl-up with one, two, or even three of my kiddos and watch TV, read books, or put together puzzles. My idea of crazy time involves turning on music and dancing around the living room with the kids. The one true place where we spend time together as a complete family is around the dinner table. We sit around the table, take turns praying to God, and then we share events from our day—it's a treasured time of my day, and each day it reminds me of how blessed I truly am."
|Family Fun Night
"It's funny how certain people impact your life, and at the time, you may not even know it. When I was practicing law, I worked for a fellow that was very close to his kids, they were teens. I asked his secretary if she knew his secret. She said he is very "intentional" about spending time with them. I filed that in the back of my mind, where it stewed for a couple of years.
When my youngest child turned four, my husband and I realized that we needed to inject a little intentionality into our own lives. My husband works long hours and many nights gets home at bed time. In response, we decreed weekly "Family Fun Night". Every Friday is FFN. Each week a different member of the family gets to be the person of honor. I try to make a fun and simple meal; last week it was make your own tortilla shell pizza. Dessert is a must. We play dinner cards at the table. Afterward, the family member of the week gets to pick an activity for the whole family to do together. My personal fave is when my daughter chooses the Angelina Ballerina game. I just get a hoot out of watching my husband plie, arabesque and grand jete around the kitchen. He's a good sport."
|Reclaiming the Sabbath
"Our family loves time together, but Roger's long hours and everyone's mid-week events make it almost impossible during the week to hang out together. So we focus on Sundays. About a year ago we were experiencing big burn-out as a fam. We realized that every single day was so busy, that we didn't actually have a REAL Sabbath. So we switched to attending the Saturday night service at church and made Sundays pretty much off-limits to everything. The change has been WONDERFUL. It's a gift to have one whole day a week to spend with each other and we all love it. We sleep in late, read the newspaper in our jammies, make waffles, play in our yard, go biking, geocaching, shopping, or whatever strikes our fancy, then cook dinner on the grill and maybe wrap the day up with a family movie. It's our favorite day of the week :-)"
|Busy Single Mom Seeks Family Time Balance
"So, when I look at family time, for me, I find it ridiculously complicated. I really do value family time and want Ashton to be able to grow up close with all of his family, whether it's his father and me, his aunts and uncles, or his grandparents. With the situation between me and his father, I find it a bit complicated getting actual family time in and not making it too confusing for him. The current status of his father and I are that we get along, so I really do love being able to go out to the zoo or something as the three of us so he can see us all getting along. It's really important to me that as Ashton grows up with me and his dad not together to still know that we are both there, both loving him, and both want to be able to communicate how things are happening and what is going on in his life. I also really want Ashton to be able to be close to his aunts, uncles, grandparents and future cousins. Coming from the family of 8, my cousins always had a lot of cousins while we did not. I really wish things could have been different from that but all I can do now is try hard for Ashton to have a different relationship with his more "extended" family. So basically, when I look at family time, i think it really is important; not only with our close small sort of family of three, but also with my whole family and his father's family as well."
|Quality vs. Quantity
"Family time is probably the most difficult thing for our family to create...or I guess I should say "quality" family time. As a ministry family, we have many things that take us away from the home every week. Church services, bibles studies, youth group, events, meetings...you name it! So we frequently spend time together "doing" those things, but when it comes to uninterrupted time at home it can be a challenge sometimes. So we have to just do the best we can on a weekly basis and try to make the most of the time we do have together.
Each week, my husband takes our oldest daughter (almost 5 yrs. old) to breakfast every Saturday morning, unless he has an early meeting. She looks forward to those times with Daddy every week. (My youngest and I are usually still sleeping while they're eating breakfast!) She really enjoys having Daddy all to herself since he regularly has meetings during the week that keep him late at church. I think she gets bored hanging out with Mommy all week! Also, as a minister, he gets one day off during the week because Sundays are considered a working day for us. So we try to spend at least that morning together and usually get to go out for lunch before the rest of the day gets busy. During the weeks that we don't have many events, we either try to do something fun at home or go out for ice cream or to the park when it's warm. The girls LOVE it when we put on some music and let them dance and go wild in the living room! The oldest dances around while the youngest tries to copy her big sister! No matter how tired we are that day, we can sit and watch our girls and laugh. And the best part of our week this time of year, is after the girls have gone to bed and hubby and I sit on the deck with the fire pit going. Sometimes we talk, sometimes we just sit there and enjoy the silence and each other's company. It may not always be HOW MUCH time you have as a family, but it's how you spend that time together."
|Contractual Agreement...Well Not Quite, But Close
"As a full-time working mom, married to a man who does shift work and is frequently required to put in lots of overtime during the spring and summer seasons, family time is absolutely impossible to schedule. While my schedule is fairly consistent, Sean may work one day at 4 a.m. until 2 or 3 p.m. and the next at 3 p.m. until midnight, be off for a day or two and then work 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. The schedules never repeat themselves from week to week either. So you can imagine the challenges of not only being in the same place at the same time, but being awake and conscious for that time.
Early on in our marriage, Sean and I set up a rule: whenever we were both going to be home together, especially during his busy work season, we never plan to do something with others or separately. So if I know he's going to be home on a Friday night and I'm invited to a ladies Pampered Chef party or something, I will decline the invitation. The only exception to that rule is my women's prayer group and his men's Bible study breakfast. Other than that, it's a strict rule and we don't break it unless there's an event that we'd both like to do more than hang out alone as a family. And that very rarely happens. As far as what we do together, it usually involves grabbing dinner to give us both a break and just be able to enjoy time together with each other and the baby. When it was just the two of us, we enjoyed kayaking, a night at the driving range, fairs and festivals, and just hanging out at home, curled up watching a movie (well, HE watched a movie and I fell asleep during the opening credits."

I am most passionate about exploring research questions that address the improvement of reading and writing skills of children. Three lines of research have emerged within this area: identification of the malleable factors that are associated with better reading and writing outcomes, development and validation of reading and writing interventions, and development and validation of assessment. Although my research focuses on children who exhibit developmental vulnerabilities in academic achievement, my research covers diverse populations of children, including children with language impairment (LI), children who are typically developing, and English language learners (ELLs).View Curriculum Vitae (pdf)

text: Hi Guys, I have an E-commerce site and I read on this forum that quite a few people blast inner pages with scrapebox. I currently use SEnuke XCR and I have been using this tool non stop for around 4 months and I feel that the tool is really denting my pocket with captcha and I am finding it quite un-economical to use to rank for my keywords for my site. My site has around 1100 pages and well its a pain in the arse to use senuke to back link 1100 pages. I also use a private blog network on top of this back linking so my site is all quality. My site has an age of 7 years old is also PR1 with DA39 PA48. So my question is would it be a good idea to blast my inner pages with high pr AA scrapebox comments and has anybody done something similar to help their ecommerce rank for its main keyword. I am really bashing my head with this one as I have seen one person get good results from just using generic anchor text on the inner pages therefore passing rank juice to the main domain which helped him rank for a specific keyword he was targeting. I just want to see if there is a significant number of people who find such a method successful. Your Advice Would Be Great!!!

The photogravure process (cont.)
After drying, the copper plate with the attached resist is placed in a ferric chloride solution. The ferric chloride passes through the gelatin resist and, in between the baked asphaltum particles which are resistant to it, eats away the copper beneath producing a random pattern of tiny pits in the plate. The depth to which these pits are etched is inversely proportional to the thickness of the resist above them --- the ferric chloride reaches the copper in the thinner areas of the resist sooner than in the thicker areas and hence etches the copper longer and produces deeper pits in those areas. This results in the variations in tonality of the final print.
The rate at which the ferric chloride penetrates the gelatin resist is determined in large part by its specific gravity or the amount of water it contains. By controlling this factor, the practitioner can affect the contrast of the final print.
Note: The use of asphaltum powder is the traditional way to produce the necessary pits in the plate during the etching process. While many of my plates were indeed produced in this manner, I no longer do it this way. Instead, I give the sensitized resist a second exposure through a computer-generated stochastic mezzotint screen which is just a large transparenciy consisting of random tiny squiggles. This exposure creates tiny hardened lands in the developed resist which serve the same purpose as the baked mounds of asphaltum powder in resisting the etching action of the ferric chloride.
After etching, the resist is removed and the copper plate is inked and wiped. Ink is removed from the original surface of the plate, but remains in the pits. The deeper the pits, the more ink they hold. The plate is then run through a press in contact with a sheet of paper. Under pressure the ink is transferred from the pits in the plate to the paper where it produces the illusion of continuous tones.

Rhinoplasty in Bangalore
know more about – Nose Job Procedure Videos / Client Testimonials
Rhinoplasty in Bangalore
What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty otherwise called nose surgery or nose job in India is the most popular plastic surgery procedure. It is a procedure that reshapes and redrapes the nose in order to get a more symmetric proportionate and vibrant facial appearance and for functional purposes. Rhinoplasty can reshape and re-drape the nose in a number of ways. A bulky nose can be made smaller and a small nose can be made bigger. The tip of the nose can be moulded to the desired shape that is necessary by sculpting the cartilages and re-draping the skin. The demand for cosmetic procedures such as Rhinoplasty in Bangalore is on the rise and more and more young individuals come seeking for Rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty surgery can change:
- Nose size in relation to facial balance
- Nose width at the bridge or in the size and position of the nostrils
- Nose profile with visible humps or depressions on the bridge
- Nasal tip that is enlarged or bulbous, drooping, upturned or hooked
- Nostrils that are large, wide, or upturned
- Nasal asymmetry
If you desire a more symmetrical nose, keep in mind that everyone's face is asymmetric to some degree. Results may not be completely symmetric, although the goal is to create facial balance and correct proportion.View the Surgery Before & After Photos.
Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is ideal for healthy, psychologically stable men and women who are seeking improvement but not perfection in their facial appearance.
Good candidates for a Rhinoplasty include healthy individuals with any of the following issues:
- Nose disproportionately large for the face
- Hump or depression on the nasal bridge
- Disproportionately wide shape
- Nasal tip that droops
- Enlarged nasal tip
- Excessively flared nostrils
- Off-center or crooked nose
- Asymmetry caused by injury
- Airway obstruction impairing breathing
Incisions are made inside the nostrils or at the base of the nose, providing access to the cartilage and bone, which can then be sculpted into shape. We recommend you to come and meet the doctor personally, who is the best cosmetic surgeon for Rhinoplasty in bangalore
What are the benefits of rhinoplasty?
Benefits of rhinoplasty can range from improved breathing to enhanced appearance and self-confidence.
What does a rhinoplasty procedure involve?
Rhinoplasty may require a short, one-night hospital stay, though most patients are able to return home the same day.
During surgery, medications will be administered to ensure comfort. General anesthesia will most likely be used to allow you to sleep during the procedure. Dr.Girish.A.C uses only doctors (anesthesiologists)-not nurses (CRNA's or anesthetists)-to administer anesthesia to his patients. He will carefully monitor your physical status throughout the operation and during your recovery.
How long does it take to recover from rhinoplasty?
Healing after rhinoplasty is slow and gradual with subtle swelling sometimes persisting for months. However, patients can usually expect to return to work or school within a week or two and to more strenuous activity within two to three weeks.
How soon should I expect to see my results?
Your results should begin to emerge within a few weeks after surgery. As each month passes, you'll notice gradual improvement until healing is complete. It may take up to two years or more for your final results to appear.
Though getting used to your new look may take time, most patients are very pleased with their results. Many reports increased self-confidence and an improvement in the overall facial look.
With the exception of changes associated with aging, Rhinoplasty results are permanent.
How long will I continue to see my Plastic Surgeon?
Dr.Girish.A.C believes in the importance of follow-up visits, to answer any questions you may have and monitor your healing process. Rather than delegating all of these visits to a nurse, he enjoys seeing his patients as they heal over time. Your first post-operative visit will be scheduled after the initial healing period, during the first week after surgery. In the following months, Dr.Girish.A.C may ask you to return for periodic checkups. Keeping these appointments is important to allow him to assess your long-term results and address any questions or concerns you may have.
After surgery, the patient has a smaller nose, a straighter bridge, a well defined nasal tip and an improved angle between the nose and upper lip. Further instruction will be provided at the clinic, The best cosmetic surgery clinic for Rhinoplasty in Bangalore
How should I prepare for my cosmetic Rhinoplasty ?
It is important to follow Dr.Girish's instructions when preparing for Rhinoplasty or nasal surgery to ensure the best possible results. Those instructions may include:
- Refraining from smoking for several weeks before and after surgery
- The avoidance certain medications
- Arranging for help following surgery, such as a ride home and proper in-home care
Further full instructions will be available at Curlsncurves clinic, The best clinic for Rhinoplasty in Bangalore.
What are the risks associated with rhinoplasty?
As with any surgery, a rhinoplasty procedure does carry some risks. Fortunately, complications are rare and usually minor . Nonetheless, complications may include infection, bleeding, and adverse reaction to anesthesia.
Though thousands of men and women undergo Rhinoplasty surgery each year and experience no major complications, the procedure does carry some degree of risk. It is important you be well informed of these risks when considering Rhinoplasty. Cosmetic Surgeon Dr.Girish.A.C sees the discussion of potential risks and complications as one of the most important aspects of patient consultation. During your consultation, he will discuss these potential complications with you, listen to your safety questions and offer instructions on how to minimise your risk.

A Group of Researchers of IPB Developed Drought-resistant Grasses as Forage for Ruminant Animals
Ruminant production sub-systems cannot be separated from the overall issues involved in upland development as these are important for crop production and farm households' economy. Many of the smallholder households keep ruminants (cattle, sheep and goats). Ruminant farms in Indonesia are dominated by smallholding livestock farms. Most farmers use grass as the main feed for livestock feed. However, the constraint faced by farmers is the availability of forage. Quantity, quality, and forage continuity are inhibiting factors of forage feed.
Concerned about the sustainability of the beef industry, a group of experts of Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) implemented research program on techniques for screening grass plant resistance to drought and stresses and its potential development in dry areas with Leisa techniques. This research was carried out by Moh Ali Hamdan, Panca DMH Karti and Iwan Prihantoro from the Department of Nutrition Science and Feed Technology of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry (FAPET).
Panca said, Indonesia has a high diversity of grass species. Grasslands such as savannah and prairie where grasses are dominant are estimated to constitute 40.5% of the land area of the Indonesia. However, as a tropical country, several regions in Indonesia have different seasons as the rainy season is shorter than the dry season. A major problem facing livestock producers in Indonesia, a tropical country, how to provide a proper nutrition for their animals, especially during the dry season when pasture and cereal residues are limiting in quantity and nutritional quality.. However, in several dry climate area, forage production is still low when it is dry season. So, the study about forage is very urgently and importantly needed. For regions that have longer dry season than rainy season, the availability of forage becomes an obstacle factor for livestock development. "Animal industry especially stockers needs forage as their fibre and protein resource to maintain its quality and productivity," he said.
He said, the high diversity of grass species in Indonesia became a potential for livestock. The shortage of feed, particularly during the dry season is one of the major factor limiting productivity of livestock in Indonesia. There are some grasses that are resistant to drought, so availability can be a mainstay for livestock needs. Napier or elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) shows a great potential to alleviate the problem because it is drought resistant and has high dry matter yield potential. This is certainly a potential to be developed so that its availability is not too affected by the season.
He also added that efforts to develop drought resistant grass can use LEISA techniques. Low External Input Sustainable Agriculture (LEISA) is receiving increased attention, both as a sustainable alternative to Green Revolution-like strategies making intensive use of external inputs, and as a strategy of sustainable agriculture in resource-poor environments where no or very few external inputs are used. In areas with a high production potential, LEISA can simultaneously improve ecological sustainability and farmers' socioeconomic conditions by reduced use of external inputs. In areas with a low production potential, LEISA can stabilize and restore the carrying capacity, but generally has limited potential to improve socioeconomic conditions for growing populations, and an increased production may also result from a further depletion of natural resources, and by a limited number of farmers. The term low-input agriculture has been defined as a production activity that uses synthetic fertilizers or pesticides below rates commonly recommended by the Extension Service.
Based on the results of the research, drought-resistant grasses and suitable for the field are coronan grass (Brachiaria humidicola Schwieck). It has good drought tolerance and remains green better than other species with better dry-season production. This research conclude that Pennisetum purpureum Schum. cv. Mott has capability to be planted on dry land areas as forage-based feed sustainability. This grass, is by far the most cultivated grass and in Indonesia it is mainly used in cut and carry system for dairy and beef cattle feeding. The high dry matter potential, ease of propagation, cultivate and harvest are the reason for its popularity among the farmers. (Wied)
