Gone Fishing
62 comments:
500 posts in 3 1/2 years, that's a lot, congratulations Rosemary.ReplyDelete
This picture is great, you captured them at the right moment, the heron is definitely waiting for the fish, looking at the man and thinking hurry up I'm hungry.Replies
It is quite funny the way you can see what they are thinking isn't it?Delete
Ha,ha very funny photo. It is like a cartoon!ReplyDeleteReplies
It would make a cartoonDelete
Bird: They'll sit here til the sun comes down and then go home, empty-handed. ;-)ReplyDeleteReplies
I like that MerisiDelete
Congratulations on 500 posts, great to have you around!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, you tooDelete
Congrats on 500 posts! That's such a funny photo. Wish I could think of a caption but it's too early in the morning for my brain to work, LOL!ReplyDeleteReplies
I know what you mean DebraDelete
A great achievement Rosemary..Congratulations.ReplyDelete
Love that photos, those looks :)
It was fortuitous that I caught them all looking like thatDelete
500 posts in 3 and half years? How creative and productive, Rosemary! Mine is less than 250 in about 5 years....slow but steady. The scene taken in the photo is like a cartoon like other commenter wrote.ReplyDelete
It does have cartoon qualities Yoko - I think that I am slowing down as time passes by and not producing so muchDelete
Great photo. We're off to St. Augustine, FL next weekend.ReplyDeleteReplies
Have a lovely time, and I hope you get the weather we had at this time of the year in 2011.Delete
Hello Rosemary, Congratulations on such a big milestone. 500 posts, yet always so fresh and enjoyable. I recently went with some friends to a lake park, and the wild birds were so tame that you could go right up to them--they weren't skittish at all, some people were fishing, and I imagine this scene was reenacted many times there.ReplyDelete
Hello Jim - thank you for your very kind comment which is much appreciated. I was taking photos of my brother's granddaughter splashing around in the water so it was luck that I was pointing the camera in their direction, and caught all of them looking at each other.Delete
Dear Rosemary, Not only must I congratulate on the 500 posts you have written but also congratulate you on the serious research you have done and the beauty and professionalism of your photographs. Your blog posts tell a wondrous story of a life well lived and experienced. I know that there will be more to come our way and we will be so fortunate to be your readers.ReplyDelete
The Bird: Why don't you Two look more like me?
The Gentleman: Are you the bird named "Nevermore"?Replies
Dear Gina - Thank you for your very kind comment I do think that I have slowed down of late, in fact I don't believe that the blogosphere is anything like as popular as it used to be. Several of my followers now seem to be on Instagram and sadly never go near their blogs anymore.Delete
I appreciated your contribution Gina - thank you♡
Dear Rosemary,congratulations for you 500 posts!!ReplyDelete
Such a gorgeous picture with the Heron bird!!Excellent shot!
Have a lovely week!
Thanks Dimi - hope everything is well with youDelete
Congratulations, Rosemary!! You are certainly prolific in your blogging, and that is a gift of pleasure to many people!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you kindly Mark - I have definitely slowed down but still have a few more posts up my sleeveDelete
Hihi...Funny Photo..they waiting both for a fish.ReplyDelete
Congratulations...500 post...wauw....
Have a nice evening
Inge, my choiceReplies
Your are spot on Inge - there is no escape for the poor fishes here.Delete
Fantastic picture!! I think the heron is thinking - what are you looking at! Congratulations on 500 posts! Here's to the next 500! xxReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Amy - I wonder if I shall achieve another 500?Delete
Bird: Excuse me this is my stretch of beach but I am too polite to say anything.ReplyDeleteReplies
I like that Jenny - I am sure he did feel like that tooDelete
Oh what a lovely picture! I guess the bird think´s " I was here first...just get away!"ReplyDelete
Have a lovely evening Rosemary!
Warm hug,
Excellent Titti - many thanks for giving it a try - hasn't the warm weather been a treat?Delete
Between the fisherman and the bird, I am on the side of the fish for matters of justice!ReplyDelete
Happy new week dear Rosemary!
Good response Olympia - I think that this fishy tale could run for some time yet. Hope you have a wonderful week too Olympia♡Delete
I've always enjoyed your enriching posts and photos, Rosemary! There is always something I have learned and oftentimes made a note of in my travel notebook for the future!!! 5j00 posts is truly a remarkable achievement! I'm happy to read you feel you have many more ideas in the works.ReplyDelete
Bird, "If you think you're getting the fish, first, Mister, Get in line!"
Mary in OregonReplies
Thank you Mary for your kind comment, and I am flattered that you have bothered to made notes following some of my posts.Delete
I like your quote - I think we all know who would succeed in getting hold of any fish first if one were to appear on the end of the rod. I think that is what the man is thinking too.
Congratulations on your 500th post, Rosemary, and long may WFVM continue! It is definitely one of my very favourite blogs. I have learnt and enjoyed so much from your posts, your wonderful research and gorgeous pictures. That is a brilliant shot on the beach in Florida: The bird is so brave, standing its ground, knowing if it is quick it might get a meal.ReplyDeleteReplies
Dear Partricia - Thank you for your very kind comment - I suspect that if a fish comes out on the end of the line, the Little Blue Heron will fly in and get there first - he looks as if he does this regularly.Delete
Many congratulations on 500 posts Rosemary, that is quite some achievement. I think I joined in about half way through, I've certainly enjoyed every one since then. I hope there are many more to come.ReplyDelete
And I hope there were enough fish to go round!Replies
Thank you very much Jessica - we share a love of similar things - I have seen these particular waters heaving with shoals of fish and turning the water silver, I suspect the bird would get the fish first and all three know that.Delete
Hello Rosemary,ReplyDelete
Congratulations on reaching this amazing milestone of your 500th post. You always write so knowledgeably and intelligently with your posts beautifully illustrated by your wonderful photographs. You make Blogland a richer and more interesting place. Here's to the next century!Replies
Hello Jane and Lance - what a very kind and generous comment, you have made my day, and I might now even make that century!Delete
I do sense that the Blogosphere is slowing down and being abandoned by many in favour of Instagram etc.
Have a wonderful trip to Norwich it is a lovely city.
Congratulations on your 500th post, thank you for entertaining me your lovely pictures and interesting poss about so many different things! I have learnt so much from you over the last few years.ReplyDelete
Your picture made me smile, things like that seem to happen when the camera is not by my side!
Sarah xReplies
Thanks Sarah - I came across this photo when I was having a bit of a clear out. I have enjoyed our exchanges very much.Delete
This made me chuckle, what a great shot :-))ReplyDeleteReplies
Glad you enjoyed seeing it JaneDelete
Well done on your 500th post ...... just love your 'Gone Fishing' picture.ReplyDelete
All the best JanReplies
Delighted that you enjoyed seeing it Jan and thank you for visitingDelete
Congratulations on your 500th post Rosemary! Your blog always makes for a top quality visit! Your photography and choice of subject matter is always fascinating and inspiring and usually leads to wanderlust! Keep it coming!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for visiting Wendy and also for your very kind comment which I really appreciate.Delete
A perfect beach picture.ReplyDelete
Great picture Rosemary. I am almost upon my 500th post too - I can't quite believe that I have written that many posts - where has the time gone.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Elaine - I never imagine I would do so many.Delete
Congratulations on 500 posts, you're busy :). The picture is great and definitely bird counts on fish caught by an angler. Regards.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Giga - yes, I am sure that the bird will get the fish before the angler.Delete
Great capture! I'm sure the heron is thinking "I was here first!" Congratulations on your 500th post, it takes a lot of dedication to maintain your blog as you do :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Rosemary - you are right, the man is the intruder.Delete
Lovely photo. I love the caze of the man and the bird :)ReplyDelete
Gonratulation to you.
Thank you OrvokkiDelete
Gosh, 500 posts in three and a half years is a wonderful achievement, especially when one knows all the thought and planning that must go into each of your beautiful and informative posts. I've only managed half that number in 4 years!ReplyDelete
Not having a smartphone or tablet and not being on Instagram, I do hope you don't decide to abandon blogdom for a place where I can't follow you.Replies
Dear Perpetua - I am quite quick doing my posts, but cutting them down, without hopefully loosing the essence, takes the most time.Delete
I will not be moving to Instagram - however, I do notice that many of my followers have and I now sadly have no communications with them. I do not understand Instagram it appears to be just showing your photos with no storyline or connection behind them.

When I first stepped outside the cabin I was staying in that morning, the sky was dreary gray and it was drizzling. I questioned whether it might be wiser to go back to bed and catch up on my sleep. But I forced myself out into the wet, cold autumn air because I had been through mornings like this before and knew that you just never know what to expect from the weather. My intent was to find autumn foliage to photograph along the banks of Suttle Lake, Oregon. As I was looking for subject matter, the sun began to break through the cloud cover — the remains of an overnight rainstorm. The sunrise bathed the west and north bank of the lake with a beautiful warm golden light. I already had my 16-35 mm lens on my camera and began to look for some foreground driftwood or other options for a wide-angle shot across the lake. I left my heavy camera bag on the ground and wandered along the lakefront with my camera on a tripod. I had gone about 75 yards when I noticed the rainbow forming in a graceful arch over the lake. I realized with a moan that my 16-35 mm lens wasn't going to cut it. Not enough of an impact. I needed something with more reach, like my 24-105 mm, which was in my bag almost a football field away. I knew how quickly rainbows fade, so I tried to prepare myself for an emotional letdown by telling myself that I wouldn't have the time to get my other lens before this beautiful scene evaporated, so why bother trying. Despite that bit of negativism, I bolted for my camera bag anyway. I was careful to trot rather than run because the last time I ran full bore I pulled a hamstring playing soccer with my son. I grabbed my other lens and a polarizer filter and ran back to my camera and tripod all the while expecting the rainbow to disappear before my eyes. I was thrilled when I finished switching my lens and screwing on the polarizer to find that rather than having faded, the rainbow had gotten even more distinct. I turned the polarizer one way and the rainbow evaporated. I turned it the opposite way and the prismatic effect intensified, with the rainbow's colors getting richer and darker. Perfect. I was able to fire off three shots before the rainbow lost its pop. Like I said at the start, you never know what to expect from the weather, so don't scrap a photography outing just because things initially look bleak. Have some patience and you might just be rewarded with an awesome image.

This episode of my podcast will take you on journey to Berlin "the multilingual capital" and the sanctuary of streets musicians in Europe.
Every year polyglots from all over the world, including Cape Verde Islands ,gather in Berlin to share their passion and some of them did travel the world to make their dream come true.
In order to be fluent in different languages, some of the folks fearlessly embarked on amazing journeys across the globe and they have priceless memories worth sharing.
Berlin is also known as the music hub in Europe
Mauer Park is a sanctuary for those who stubbornly see street music as a sustainable art form. Artists from all over the world are based at the German capital, a city where folks show their respect for street art and where the cost of living is way lower than any other capital in Europe.

We can hear more about my trips by listening to Wansworth Wanderlust, a travel show I co-host every Friday form 10 to 11am (London) on www.WandsWorthRadio.com

Our salt scrubs are made in small batches for freshness. The jar will last you about 18 months, but most don't make it past one month because our customers love to use it.
Do we do custom orders?
Absolutely! Fill out the "contact us" form and someone will be contact with you shortly. The most popular custom order is for wedding favors or for a bridal shower.

Whilepeople have been keen in fashion for thousands of years, the fashion industrywe know today did not start taking shape until 1850. After hundreds of years offashions, two things occurred simultaneously to shape the industry known ashaute couture: the discovery of the stitch sewing machine, by Isaac Singer, andthe concurrent fame of a dress designer called Charles Frederick Worth.
Couture has been symptomatic of the victory ofcostume and fashion. It symbolized the combination of fashion—the modern entitythat fuses novelty and synergy with cultural and personal needs—and costume—thetalent of dress designing, stitching, and crafts constituent to attire andaccessories.
Established in the trial of modernism, inventionin the mid of the nineteenth century in Paris, with a wide patronage nurturedby the House of Worth, but yet dependent upon the immense support of EmpressEugénie. Couture has sustained as the modern balance between the attires asexquisite aggregate and the sprouting notions of fashion as a trend.
The couture house is primarily a fusion of twoparts, one dedicated dressmaking (flou), the other about the tailoring(tailleur) of suits and coats. Talented workers in particular area practice thearts appropriate to the area. Accessories and embellishments are incorporated incrementallyas designed decoration, often from sources out of the couture house. Nonetheless,with regard to the unadorned garments, the modern couture house is entirely anautonomous workplace of dedicated ateliers. Surprisingly, given the elegant sitesof most couture houses, the generation of the garments occurs in the maisonsparticulars of the house, thus under the regular monitoring of thedesigner along with as an intimate association with the vendeuses. Depending upon the designer, thedesign method might start either with drafts or with a muslin or draped or toileand cut.
The couture's offering of grandeur in design andtechnique is still a compelling force, one even more capable when much otherquality has withered away. It still manifests a discipline of classicimagination, inexplicable to cost, with the theory of being the fashion mostcognizant of its valued clients. It is, as it began, a dream of quality in anage of industry and its succession. The couture strives to provide us with anunmatched most beautiful clothing that can be envisioned and created in anytime.

Dear Parents,
It is hard to believe we are already in December. The time is certainly flying by. The drive in to work today was especially chilly with temperatures in the lower teens. We just want to remind you that our cut-off temperature for outdoor recess is 20 degrees. Should it go below the "real feel" of 20 degrees, then we will have indoor recess. Please make sure your child is well dressed in layers for the weather.
The budget process is really starting to take shape at DES. The board received the first presentation of the budget. From here on out, we will continue to refine the budget. Our major areas of focus will be continued support of technology as well as reading, math and writing instruction. We are really reaping the rewards of last year's budget requests with a full time reading specialist as well as a reading interventionist. These two additions alone have redefined and reshaped our RtI process as well as reading instruction.
We have some exciting events coming up in the next couple of weeks. The sixth grade has been hard at work on their Egyptian Museum. The students have been learning all about Ancient Egypt and the culmination of this unit is the creation of various artifacts from Ancient Egypt. If last year is any indication, there will be multiple pyramids,sarcophagi, models of the Nile and various other exhibits. It is always exciting to see what the students produce and the knowledge they are able to impart following their hard work. Should any parents be interested in attending, the student work will be on display on December 12th from 1 - 2:15 pm.
Today the third grade will be taking a tour of Dunbarton as part of their unit on the history of Dunbarton. They will continue working with the historical knowledge they gain as they create the annual town of Dunbarton gingerbread house model. This is a fun event for the students, but it is also extremely informative as the students build physical models of the various historical buildings in town. The student work will be on display from 12:30 - 1:30 pm on December 19th for parents to come and visit.
The DES Wellness Committee has been hard at work and would like to share their work with the parents and greater community. Please feel free to view their information at the following link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw5Ms53ISsyLZ0h0ZlNldmE1WlE/view?usp=sharing . There is plenty of information to be found, not to mention some exciting pictures of the various healthy food choices from our Halloween parties.
The first report card for the 2014-2015 school year went home today. If you have any questions about your child's grades, please feel free to contact your child's teacher. Please remember to sign and return the envelope so we know you had the opportunity review your child's progress.
As we look further into the month, we wanted to remind everyone that the holiday break will be starting on December 24th and will extend to January 2nd with students returning to school on Monday, January 5th. Following the holiday break, it is full steam ahead with a large amount of time without a lengthy break.
We all wish you the best and want to remind you to feel free to contact your child's teacher or the office should you have any questions or concerns.

Melissa Romein, Special Education Coordinator

"I don't know if I'll ever tour again" - Adele
"So this is it.
After 15 months on the road and 18 months of 25 we are at the end. we have taken this tour across UK + Ireland,throughout Europ,all over America and finally got to go to Australia and New Zealand too."Touring is a peculiar thing, it doesn't suit me particularly well. I'm a real homebody and I get so much joy in the small things. Plus I'm dramatic and have a terrible history of touring. Until now that is!" "I only ever did this tour for you and to hopefully have an impact on you the way that some of my favorite artists have had on me live. And I wanted my final shows to be in London because I don't know if I'll ever tour again and so I want my last time to be at home."

Had this movie last nite at Cathay Cineplex with Shannon courtesy of Jacq for the extra passes :) yups, u guys know what day it is n i m glad manage to celebrate it with 1 of my best friend.
Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) is a 'mechanic' - an elite assassin with a strict code and unique talent for cleanly eliminating targets. It's a job that requires professional perfection and total detachment, and Bishop is the best in the business. But when his mentor and close friend Harry (Donald Sutherland) is murdered, Bishop is anything but detached. His next assignment is self-imposed - he wants those responsible dead. His mission grows complicated when Harry's son Steve (Ben Foster) approaches him with the same vengeful goal and a determination to learn Bishop's trade. Bishop has always acted alone but he can't turn his back on Harry's son. A methodical hit man takes an impulsive student deep into his world and a deadly partnership is born. But while in pursuit of their ultimate mark, deceptions threaten to surface and those hired to fix problems become problems themselves.
In my point of view, quite unique background for the main character, a designer assassin? lol..other than tat i would said d storyline pretty predictable, at least for me. I wonder is it becoz i been exposed to such story for millions of times. However, the gun action, fighting and action is pretty good to be viewed :)
It gonna release on cinema this thurs, catch it up if u love action movie! :)

Thanks, Shaick for posting it.
He has several other video's too.
Here's just one of his many and look carefully, Jim has 4 fine tuners on his violin.

EMBED-Trucks Vs Bridge — Watch more free videos
The main carer
Educating children is such a horrible thing. There are thousand mistakes to do, thousand good advices to follow, thousand weird ideas your children come up with. And there's a whole industry trying to make your children getting nuts. They'd better use this perfume, play that game, listen to those boy bands and eat much fast food.
It's not only that you have to educate someone, you also have to fight against unresponsable powers out there. And these powers sometimes are even combined. It's a tricky thing to sort that all out.
FrauElise is one of those people that are bothered with education. Last saturday she decided to watch german television. The german version of Pop Idol, "Deutschland sucht den Superstar", was shown. She is well aware of the danger that comes along with this show. What if her children want to try to become a pop star?
She's routined enough to come up with an educational strategy immediately:
("Well, if my children want to participate in that show one day, they do not only get a "No", they also get a clip round the ear right away.")

Recent guidelines by the American Academy of Pediatrics that babies sleep in the same room as their parents for the first six months of their lives had a lot of parents worried that sleep would be impossible to come by during that period.
"The academy said that sharing a room could cut babies' chance of dying in their sleep by "up to 50 percent." Suffocation, strangulation or sudden infant death syndrome, known as SIDS, kills 3,500 babies a year in this country. The academy's previous recommendations — place babies on their backs to sleep, without loose bedding, in their own cribs — have been an undisputed success in helping to cut SIDS deaths by 53 percent from 1992 to 2001, but SIDS is still the largest cause of infant mortality in the United States after the first month of life."

Google Alerts is a great way to stay on top of the freshest content on the web. You need a Google account to get Google Alerts; this is really simple because a Google account is created using an existing email address. All of your Google Alerts are then directed to that email address. Alternatively, you can receive your alerts via RSS feed in Google Reader. Alerts are set up for specific key-words or sentences. For example, if you tweet about social media you might set up alerts for "Social Media", "Twitter", "Facebook". To get even more specific and accurate results, you can use the Advanced Search Options and Search Operators. You can then choose how often you want to receive alerts (Once a Day, As It Happens or Once a Week) and which types of content you want to be alerted about (news, videos, blogs, everything…). Before I used Google Alerts for the multiple Twitter accounts that I am managing, I was constantly scouring Google and basically wasting precious time. Huge time saver and really valuable tool to use in concert with Twitter.
Use an RSS feed
You can easily set up an RSS feed with Google Reader (again, you need a Google account) or similar sites like Feedly or Reeder. An RSS feed is a great way to get the timely updates from the websites and blogs that you love the most. To get timely updates simply add the website URL to your RSS feed or click the RSS feed icon on the website you want to subscribe to. The reader will then display the latest news, downloads and updates that it finds from your chosen sites. This is a really good way to keep up to date with what's happening in the news, or on that blog you follow, without actually having to navigate to each website individually. It presents you with all the most recent content, all in one place!
Use StumbleUpon, Delicious.com, and similar sites
There are lots of sites similar to Stumble Upon, but this is one I have had personal experience with and feel comfortable saying it's a great tool for finding fun and tweetable web content. StumbleUpon adds a toolbar to your browser which acts as a "discovery search engine" or "social bookmarking site". You hit the "Stumble" icon on the toolbar and it will find a webpages, video or article that is of interest to the user based on pre-selected preferences and categories. Choose categories and keywords related to your industry to find tweet-worthy information. It allows users to "vote" web content up or down, which helps Stumble Upon further narrow down the type of content that you want. Definitely a fun tool for randomly coming across great content you may not have found otherwise.
Subscribe to Twitter Lists
Twitter lists are used to organize Tweeps according to categories, interest and whatever else people choose. Everyone can create Twitter lists and add or remove people and there are websites devoted to finding and creating the best lists, for example, Listorious and Formulist. Lists are a great way of finding relevant Twitter content if you follow the right ones. For example, if you tweet about social media you would want to find quality Twitter lists devoted to individuals tweeting about Social Media, Twitter, Facebook and other SM keywords. You can then subscribe to that list and view all the updates from the tweeps that the list in question is following. It's a great way to see what others in your industry are tweeting about, and might give you a lot of retweet worthy content, or links that you may want to share yourself.
Create your own content
The best way to have fresh, original Twitter content is to write or create it yourself. Whether it's a graphic you have designed, an article you've written or a photo you have just shot, content that has been created by you is sure to be original and new. There are a countless amount of free blogging sites (WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr) and nowadays you can create a website for a few dollars and in a few short hours. So, instead of just perusing the Internet for hours on end, spend some of that time putting together your own content that can contribute to the social media sphere and hopefully help teach others a thing or two. Next thing you know, your content will be what people come across when they are looking for great stuff to tweet about!
Got any tips of your own that I missed? Any tricks on where to find the best content for social media? Let me know in the comments!

The new house has 7 rooms on the ground floor and 6 rooms on the second floor. I decided to use the same color scheme throughout the ground floor for uniformity and started with the adult's living room. I based the entire downstairs color scheme off of the fabric for the curtains. I had found these amazing panels on etsy.com that I fell in love with instantly. The price........not so much. They were $450 for *ONE* window. There are 4 windows in the adult living room! No way I could swing that kind of price. I was heartbroken but knew that if an item was on etsy the fabric had to available commercially. So I spent about 1 hour looking through fabric choices on several different online retailers. I almost screamed out loud when I found it! It is called Waverly Pom Pom Play Spa and sales for $8 a yard! I needed 2yards per window, so total cost came in at $64 for curtains that I adore!
Once the painting and the curtains were in place it was time for furniture.
perfect chairs for $350! I ordered 2 chairs for $700, that is $100 less than one chair from a local store.
While I was on ikea's website I decided to look for an entertainment center and some floating shelves. I found this metal locker system with keyed doors that was perfect for the space (and for keeping little fingers off of our electronics). Along with these big chunky floating shelves for displaying all our pictures and my father-in-laws flag.
I really love the way the entire room came together and can't help but to smile every time I walk in to the room.
Total cost for the entire room: $1,134
Which just happens to be $766 LESS than the cost of the pre-made curtains I was drooling over to start with!

I want to make sure we remember what all the basketball experts are saying about my man, Renaldo Balkman, right now, after New York chose him with their first pick of the NBA draft (#20 overall).
New York took Renaldo Balkman? Seriously? A second round pick with No. 20 … didn't I ask the Knicks to stop embarrassing themselves? — Tony Mejia, CBS Sportsline
Just trying to cheer myself up by thinking about all the Knicks fan/friends I'm e-mailing tomorrow with "Renaldo Balkman!" in the subject heading. — Bill Simmons, ESPN, after the Celtics took Rajon Rondo
This to me is a stunner, I'm stunned. This is a second-round player. Nobody else would have taken him in the first round. — Jay Bilas, ESPN
So we'll see what happens for the Plastic Man up in New York City. My opinion? The Knicks also had the 29th pick in the draft and they could have probably still picked Renaldo then… that's what they should have done. That said, I think he'll be great as a Knick and the trashing he's getting from the sportswriters right now is just the kind of motivation he needs. Can he prove himself to be a legitimate 1st round pick? Again, we'll see. But one more quote about how the Knicks fans will react to Balkman:
He will win their hearts. I don't doubt that. They will love him. — Dave Odom, USC coach

Two-year-old girl was born deaf and had a cochlear implant put in at the HearLife Clinic in Dubai
Alvin and Analyn Sarmiento, both 35, have said the intervention of the Al Jalila Foundation has given their daughter a brighter future, and Hana's recovery as a "miracle".
The charity stepped in after a doctor treating Hana at the HearLife clinic in Dubai Healthcare City said the family would qualify for financial support.
No hearing test was conducted on Hana when she was born in Sharjah, so it is unclear whether she had any pre-existing problem.
But, at 10 months old, she picked up a viral infection during a trip back to the family home in the Philippines. Her mother, who lives in Satwa, first had an inkling about Hana's deafness when her nephew came to stay.
"He was very loud, and Hana didn't wake up when she was sleeping despite there being a lot of noise. At first, we thought she was just in a deep sleep," said Mrs Sarmiento.
However, the mother's worries increased when Hana began to talk. She found it hard to copy what her parents were encouraging her to say.
On her first birthday, they took her to see a doctor who confirmed that Hana had only 30 per cent hearing in one ear and was completely deaf in the other.
Mr Sarmiento said: "I came home from work one day and I was calling her name out. When she didn't respond I touched her on the shoulder and she was so shocked to see me. It was then I knew she couldn't hear properly and needed to see a doctor."
Hana, who has a seven-month-old brother, Nathaniel, underwent auditory brainstem response tests to give doctors an indication of her hearing loss. The test gives information about the inner ear (cochlea) and brain pathways for hearing. It can be used with children or others who have a difficult time with conventional behavioural methods of hearing screening.
"The doctor said we had two options," Mrs Sarmiento added."We could see if a hearing aid would help, but the best option was a cochlear implant. He said it was very expensive, around Dh120,000. I was in shock. There was no way we could afford it. As a parent, you want to give them the normal life that they deserve."
A cochlear implant is an electronic medical device that does the work of damaged parts of the inner ear to provide sound signals to the brain.
Hana's father said: "We were afraid of the surgery, as it was such a major operation. Hana is so small, we were worried something could go wrong.
"But we were so happy that Al Jalila could help us – it was a miracle."
The two-hour surgery conducted on December 2 last year was a success, and Hana was soon home to begin her recovery and start learning what she could not before. The device will need constant updates as Hana grows and gets used to the implant and as the brain learns to live with the device.
Dr Bassel Chaykhouny, who treated Hana at the HearLife clinic, said: "To see the smile on her face now and how she is progressing is very rewarding.
"Without the help of the charity, we cannot help children like Hana. Hearing tests on newborns and young children are so important. We want to see it mandatory in the UAE."
Hana's hearing treatment is the second cochlear implant Al Jalila Foundation has sponsored. A 5-year old Jordanian, Remas Mousa, was deaf in one ear before her treatment but has also had her hearing restored.
The charity's A'awen programme provides practical assistance and financial aid to UAE-based patients who do not have access to the best quality healthcare.
Last year, the foundation invested Dh1.5 million in treating more than 40 patients. All donations directly pay for research or treatment.
Dr Abdulkareem Al Olama is the chief executive of the Al Jalila Foundation, which launched in 2013 by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai.
Dr Al Olama said: "I am very proud of all our children, particularly Hana. She can now fulfil her potential. It is a miracle she can now hear and talk."

We want to remind you that we'll be at the Carrollton Holiday Gift Bazaar and Farmer's Market this Saturday, November 18, from 9am-5pm. The Bazaar will be held at the East Carroll Rec Center, which is located at 410 Northlake Drive. In addition to the familiar vendors of the Cotton Mill Farmer's Market, there will be local crafters and artisans, as well as many family friendly activities. It's a great opportunity to pick up some Christmas gifts and to get some of your holiday grocery shopping out of the way a little early. We'll be fully stocked with our Dennis Farms Primeburger, Whole Hog Sausage, Pork Cuts, Leaf Lard, and Lamb.
To inspire your Holiday menus, we wanted to share some recipes that work particularly well with our products. Last week we showcased our Whole Hog Sausage and Leaf Lard by sharing our recipes for breakfast casserole and pie dough; this week we'd like to offer a suggestion for our Primeburger or Ground Lamb. We love to make Shepherd's Pie – it is a delicious and versatile comfort food that makes a great dinner for your family. If you'll scroll to the bottom, you'll find our favorite recipe.
We would love for you to stop by the Holiday Bazaar and say hello as we enter this 2017 Holiday Season.
We appreciate your continued support of our farm and our efforts to provide you and yours with a healthy, wholesome, quality product. We look forward to seeing you there!
serves 6
4 cups mashed potatoes
garlic salt
1 lb ground meat, either Dennis Farms Primeburger or Ground Lamb
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 Tablespoons flour
1 Tablespoon tomato paste
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 can (14.5oz) chicken broth
2 cups frozen vegetable medley
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Brown meat in a large skillet over med-high heat. Once some of the fat renders out and meat is starting to brown, add onions and garlic and continue cooking. When meat is completely cooked, stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
*Note: our Primeburger is very lean, so you may need to add a little olive oil, or perhaps some of our Dennis Farms Leaf Lard, to the pan to add a bit of extra fat. There should be at least 2 Tablespoons of fat in the pan at the point at which you add the flour.
Stir in tomato paste, worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and chicken broth. Simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until sauce is thickened. Turn the heat off and stir in frozen vegetables and salt and pepper, to taste.
Pour beef mixture into a large, oven-proof casserole dish. Top with mashed potatoes and smooth with a spatula.
Place casserole dish on a large sheet pan (in case the sauce overflows) and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until top is golden brown. Ladle and serve!

text: First of all, let me say that I am attempting to get Lego Star Wars running on my PC. I'm using the demo version of the game to see if I could get it running before getting the full game. I haven't got a card that supports pixel shader, which means that normally I would not be able to even boot the game up at all. However, I found a trick that people have found to get the game running WITHOUT pixel shader. Using a program called 3D Analyze, it is apparently possible to force the game to run on an older graphics card. The game would run, but it wouldn't have any shading effects requiring pixel shader. Full directions on doing this are found here: http://www.reabo.co.uk/_tutorials/legostarwarsproblem.aspx Apparently this technique has a high rate of success, but I'm having problems. I am able to force the game to get past the "pixel shader required" message and appear like it boots. Unfortunately, the game appears to crash before any game company logos or anything appears, dumping me back onto my desktop. I've no clue what to do. I can't upgrade my graphics card as I'm using a laptop, and can't get a new PC because I'm broke. My system specs match the game's requirements exactly except for the pixel shader requirement. Any suggestions would be welcome. I am running the demo version of Lego Star Wars if that makes any difference.

Smarts for Sports
The annual upsets and thrills of March Madness may be coming to an end, but excitement can still draw attention to major arenas across the country. Intelligent building solutions are heightening the experience for audiences, keeping visitors safe, and delivering cost savings for arena owners by improving maintenance for operators.
In Wisconsin, the president of the Milwaukee Bucks, Peter Feigin, explained the vision for the team's new arena. It will "create a state of the art environment that is the most fan friendly place anybody can go for sports entertainment in the world. The importance of technology is crucial to that environment. How a state of the art building system can seamlessly integrate to ensure fans are safe, comfortable, and everything they need is at their fingertips … the overarching vision for this development is not just an arena, but a catalyst for positive change throughout our region." The development of the 714,000-square-foot arena is the center of the planned Wisconsin Entertainment and Sports Center in downtown Milwaukee. It is a central piece of an overall 30-acre development aimed at revitalizing the city's downtown. Johnson Controls is the technology partner bringing the smarts to the new home of the Bucks.
There is an important opportunity in the deployment of smart building technologies in arenas. These high profile, multimillion (or even multibillion) dollar facilities are the epicenter of community pride for many cities. The smarts in these facilities can be an effective catalyst for the intelligent buildings industry as a whole. Technologies are here today to completely rewire how facilities are operated to be safe, comfortable, and convenient. The challenge is market awareness and education. How well building owners and managers understand the financial, business, and social benefits of intelligent building technologies can be a huge hurdle for technology adoption.
High profile arenas can be a great live action classroom to boost demand for intelligent building technologies. The results can be striking, as WIRED magazine put it with a profile of the new Sacramento King's Golden 1 Center: "the highest-tech stadium in sports is pretty much a giant Tesla."
Convenience and information drive the visitor experience at the King's Golden 1 Center—download an app to receive texts on last minute ticket upgrades, pointers on the best parking, directions to your seat, and even stats on the game. The backbone of customer convenience comes from a rich network of intelligent building technology, sensors, data communications infrastructure, and analytics.
Safe and Comfortable Too
Besides enhancements to the customer experience, owners and operators of smart arenas see other important benefits. The technology infrastructure that pushes information to customers through phone apps can also quickly and efficiently direct staff to ensure the facilities are safe and comfortable. Take a look at the Vivint Smart Home Arena in Utah. Due to fan expectations for seamless connectivity during March Madness, the arena deployed a Distributed Antenna System. Two integrations provide parallel benefits. Not only does every visitor on Snapchat get their picture sent to friends, but the system also supports emergency preparedness as a direct network for first responder communications.
The smart arena is the new face of sports and an important avenue for promoting the intelligent buildings industry to fans and ultimately building owners and managers across industries.

Physicists Design 2D Materials That Conduct Electricity At Almost The Speed Of Light
Physicists at the University of California, Irvine and elsewhere have fabricated
new two-dimensional quantum materials with breakthrough electrical and magnetic
attributes that could make them building blocks of future quantum computers and
other advanced electronics. In three separate studies, researchers explored the
physics behind the 2D states of novel materials and determined they could push computers
to new heights of speed and power. The common threads running through these researches
are that the research is conducted at extremely cold temperatures and that the signal
carriers in all three studies are not electrons - as with traditional silicon-based
technologies - but Dirac or Majorana fermions, particles without mass that move
at nearly the speed of light.
Finally, we can take exotic, high-end theories in physics to explore the possibility
of making topological quantum computers [currently theoretical] for the next 100
years," said UCI associate professor of physics & astronomy Jing Xia. One of the
key challenges of such research is handling and analyzing miniscule material samples,
just two atoms thick, several microns long and a few microns across. In a study,
the researchers detail their observation of magnetism in a microscopic flake of
chromium germanium telluride. The compound, which they created, was viewed at minus
387 degrees Fahrenheit. CGT is a cousin of graphene, a superthin atomic carbon film.
Since its discovery, graphene has been considered a potential replacement for silicon
in next-generation computers. But there's a catch: Certain computer components,
such as memory and storage systems, need to be made of materials that have both
electronic and magnetic properties. Graphene has the former but not the latter and
CGT (chromium germanium telluride) has both.

This journey all started with one thing: the tiny house. My tiny house has been my vehicle for downsizing, reorganizing, and reimagining my life for the better. I've learned a lot along the way, including some special considerations for mobility (which is not for everybody) and day-to-day living (which is not the same for everybody).
Every tiny house is different; an extension of the unique intentions and lifestyle of its builder. Here's a breakdown of what I've been doing with mine, and how I got there.
Construction Considerations
- Floor Plan
- The Gifford's floor plan was attractive to me for a number of reasons. Initially I fell in love with the look of the exterior. It was simply the cutest thing I'd ever seen. I knew I had to have a porch. I loved the symmetry of the centered front door flanked by seating. I knew I wanted to sleep in a loft, and I wanted a lot of windows.
- Size
- I chose the 16-foot versus any longer trailer size because, well, if I'm going to go small, I may as well really go small. And because I plan on traveling with my house, I knew the 16 foot would be easier to tow and park than the longer models.
- Wheels or Fixed?
- This was an easy one for me because I know that initially I want to travel. Ultimately I want to start a tiny house community, or a pocket community. One of the big plusses to me of going tiny is not having a mortgage payment, and along with that goes not paying for a land purchase.
- Door
- I checked into custom doors and most frequently they are made from fiberglass. I couldn't quite wrap my head around the entrance to my humble home being a man-made material; I just had to have wood. Fortunately, the front door end is not the end that will face into the wind when I travel, so that's in my favor. Daniel Bell hand-crafted my front door for me. It's clear fir, 2″ tongue and groove – it's so heavy I can't lift it alone, and it's spectacular. To his design I added a functional speakeasy, a vintage door knocker, some retro looking hardware and some hinge straps. It's substantial. (Someone tried to kick my front door in once and failed. HA!)
House Systems
- Plumbing
- I have two 27.5 gallon tanks (one fresh water and one gray water) mounted under my trailer between the axles. I have a water pump to pressurize the system and an electric tankless water heater. My showerhead is a low-flow one to make my water last longer. I have a bamboo farm sink in my kitchen. I'm still looking for the perfect sink for my bathroom; I keep buying different vessels to make into a sink but so far I haven't found the perfect thing that I love.
- Toilet
- I am doing the bucket with sawdust method for my toilet. I entertained the notion of an incinerating toilet and a composting toilet, and you can read about my research and decision-making process. Ultimately I went the smallest, easiest, least expensive route. I use a plastic liner inside the bucket because I am traveling too frequently to actually compost the waste.
- Power
- I want to go all solar, but right now I feel solar is too cumbersome to travel with, and I don't have the money to buy the set up right now . I have the ability to plug in when electrical is available, and I have a generator for those in-between times.
- My heat will be provided by the wall mounted Envi panel heater, which is convection heat – totally silent! Love.
Special Considerations for Travel
Because I take my house on the road, I employed some special considerations for construction.
- Insulation
- Initially I wanted wool insulation in the walls. I've since learned that over time it will settle down into the lower part of the wall, leaving the top few feet uninsulated. Despite wanting every component of my house to be chemical free and natural, I used poly iso foam boards for the insulation in the floor and the walls. My R value is between 23 and 27.
- Windows
- I did a combination of casement windows and awning windows. The travel consideration is tempered glass versus regular glass to reduce highway breakage. I also chose options that are high-altitude friendly and sea air friendly for travel through the mountains or spending a significant amount of time in a coastal area. I've done a bit of both already!
- Roofing
- Shingles will not hold up well with wind, so I went with a standing seam metal roof. I really wanted copper, until I priced it—it's about $1,000 more than metal, and several folks mentioned to me that it might be stolen for salvage value. My roof! Stolen right off my house! It seemed far-fetched, but in the end I opted out. I also drove around and looked at several copper roofs in the area, and decided the developing patina was too dull of a finish for me. (Apparently you only get that beautiful greenish blue patina if your roof is near salt water – who knew? I read you can chemically force the patina but learned that it's tricky to get it right, and, well, I am not a fan of chemicals.) My roof is UL rated with extra clips to combat the wind on the road.

Environmentalists have won a landmark court injunction to halt logging in old-growth forest in far east Gippsland.
The temporary injunction brings into doubt a State Government decision to allow logging in two areas at Brown Mountain, north of Orbost.
Victorian Environment Minister Gavin Jennings last month lifted a seven-month moratorium on logging at the mountain, reasoning government surveys had found no direct evidence of threatened species.

Once you mentioned bolt on I was losing interest, we all know there are different types of orgasms and once you got into saying what size is needed by what types of women, you crashed into the mountain. I dont know what this is suppose to be, but just save your self a whole bunch of time and do the JP90 day routine.Going an inch and 1/2 deeper than before

As far as I know you can take it daily, just use moderation as with anything. What I used to do was take it every other week. One week on, one week off. Or you could just take it on weekends for sex. It's a great PE workout booster if you're doing girth work, pumping, or edging/ballooning. I would drink it about an hour before pumping or sex.
I'll reiterate what I said earlier: MAKE SURE you get quality dried plant matter of epimedium (preferably organic), NOT capsules. What you want to do is make a tea with the dried material. If you have a scale (I would suggest a scale if you plan on using herbs frequently), start out by using 1g in a tea, then increase by 0.5g each time until you reach a comfortable dosage that works for you.
For me, it makes my dick noticeably warmer, almost hot to the touch. Very hard and sensitive.
Here are some studies:
Potent Inhibition of Human Phosphodiesterase-5 by Icariin Derivatives - Journal of Natural Products (ACS Publications and Am. Soc. of Pharmacognosy)
ScienceDirect.com - FEBS Letters - Involvement of androgen receptor in nitric oxide production induced by icariin in human umbilical vein endothelial cells
The testosterone mimetic properties of icariin. [Asian J Androl. 2006] - PubMed - NCBI
One thing I noticed was that you are planning on taking Maca. As far as I know, from some reading, there isn't really anything to back up Maca's purported effects. I would recommend just ditching it, but if you can find some concrete information I'd be glad to see it.
ScienceDirect.com - Journal of Ethnopharmacology - Lepidium meyenii (Maca) does not exert direct androgenic activities -article explains that Maca helped sexual performance, but not by increasing T levels.
RB&E | Full text | Red maca (Lepidium meyenii) reduced prostate size in rats - explains that Maca did not change T levels.
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science...78874105005520 - no change in hormone levels, but yellow and black Maca (not red) DID increase epididymal sperm count.
I have university access to online journals so I don't know how much info you guys can see, but hopefully enough. It sucks that articles cost so much. Information should be cheaper!

Also, as far as pumps go, I would HIGHLY recommend a quality air pump. Granted, I have never tried a water pump, but I have done a lot of forum browsing on the matter. As far as I can tell, water pumps are just not as accurate or reliable, and you seem like a scientific guy who wants absolute precision. I would think you would prefer an air pump with a gauge over a gauge-less water pump that isn't very convenient to use (unless you plan on taking long baths every day). I've read a lot of complaints about water pumps deteriorating and the rubber seal at the bottom is a common annoyance.
Also, if you use air pumps, you can have fun messing around with different lube recipes. I like to use rosemary infused olive oil as pumping lube because it helps stimulate blood flow. Lube feels a lot better than water for jelqing/masturbation/whatever.
I don't want to post which air pump I use because I'm anal about not promoting specific products on forums, but if you want to know just PM me.

penis exercises might be (?). I don't have an irrational feer that my penis is small as I know it isn't and I could simply choose a tight partner so that I would be big to her (something I have a had quite a few times in the past) but i don't want to I want to choose a partner who I love and find attractive... I just don't want to settle for the fact that she has had partners in the past who have given her that ultimate orgasm with their penis. I have given this ultimate orgasm to looser girls by using my fingers but this apparently is NOT the same feeling as the perfect cylindrical feeling of a penis (or dildo). So basically I can give my woman 98% of what any man has given them (from a physiological perspective) but if I could give them 100% - whats wrong with that?

Dad asks me to steal his quotes: Alia Bhatt
Actor Alia Bhatt says that when she is asked for her opinion on topical issues, her father Mahesh Bhatt tells her to take his quotes and not credit them to him!bollywood Updated: Mar 25, 2016 18:55 IST
Star kids often feel the pressure of meeting the expectations of the audiences vis-a-vis their parents' success, but the only tension that actor Alia Bhatt has is giving smart quotes on various issues like her father Mahesh Bhatt .
"People constantly expect quotes from me because my father gives such good quotes. Sometimes my dad tells me, 'You should behave like a thief. Take my quotes and don't say they are mine'. I keep telling him that nobody is going to believe that they are my quotes," laughs Bhatt, who was recently seen in Shakun Batra's directorial Kapoor & Sons.

The actor, who turned 23 on March 23 a few days back, takes a lot of pride in telling everyone that she has turned a year older. "People tell me that I am so wise and sensible and it doesn't seem like I am new in the industry. But they get surprised when they get to know that I am just 23," says Bhatt, who made her Bollywood debut with Karan Johar's Student of The Year (2012).
Read: Okay with paparazzi, just don't enter my bathroom, says Alia Bhatt
"On my birthday this year, somebody said that I am turning 22 and I immediately corrected him and said, 'No! I am turning 23'. I say it with a lot of pride when I turn a year older," adds the actor, who has acted in films such as Highway(2015) and Shaandar (2015).

Your Most Valuable QA and Dosimetry Tools
October 08, 2015
One thing I love about radiotherapy treatment planning is there's inherently a pursuit of excellence. As professional treatment planners, we have a strong desire to do our absolute best, because we know the result ultimately impacts a human being.
The PLAN Challenge was born from that spirit. Every year, it helps advance best practices in medical dosimetry because we are able to learn from each other—lessons we can apply in real clinical practice.
This year was no different. Here are the top three things we learned from this Challenge's brain case.
1) We Can Create High Quality Plans that Spare the Hippocampus
It's not often that treatment planners, striving to keep up with the demands of a busy clinic, have time to test out new protocols and techniques. However, the annual PLAN Challenge gives us an opportunity to discover and test new techniques.
This Challenge explored a simultaneously integrated boost (SIB) technique with an emphasis on hippocampal sparing.
Historically, patients with whole brain metastases
were given very poor prognoses. Today, our treatments are getting
better, and patients are living much longer. That's been the driving
premise behind elegantly carving out the dose around the hippocampus,
instead of treating the whole brain with wide-open beams.
SIB is one way to achieve hippocampal sparing and deliver an accelerated dose to the tumor. These techniques can help prevent dementia and other neurocognitive side effects of whole brain radiotherapy.
It all sounds great in theory, but actually conforming dose to the metastases, while avoiding the sea-horse shaped structure located right in the center of the brain, would take some rather fancy beam work.
PLAN Challenge High Performer Shadonna Holmes said this year's project let her prove to herself that as fancy as this type of planning is, she could, in fact, do it:
"I'd always hear of hippocampal sparing, and I read about it," said Holmes. "I'd think, 'that kind of sounds impossible,' but I never had the chance to think about it in-depth until the PLAN Challenge. Now I know that I'm capable of doing a plan like this. And I think that it will benefit my clinic in the future because we've already told our doctors about it, and I think we are going to start treating more patients with hippocampal sparing."
2) We Know Where to Find Resources for Contouring the Hippocampus
One of the added challenges in attempting this type of plan is accurately delineating the structures, especially uncommon ones like the hippocampus. The good news is there are very helpful resources that walk you through contouring this specialized structure.
RTOG 0933 is the go-to guide for this type of protocol, which includes how to define the target volumes and critical structures. For clinical reference, there is a great contouring atlas embedded within this protocol. It also includes detailed recommendations for MRI-CT fusion.
"A Radiation Oncologist's Guide to Contouring the Hippocampus" by Chera et al
This research paper arranges the principles of hippocampal sparing in a helpful 3-step framework. The researchers include very clear axial MRI scans with 1.5 mm thickness as is recommended in the RTOG 0933 atlas.
In radiotherapy, we are constantly inundated with new information. So the expectation is not to have all this stuff memorized. The key is to know where to turn. So, having these resources is invaluable.
3) We Realized Technology Can Help Personalize Radiotherapy Protocols
Every patient's anatomy is different—the tumor volume and location may provide a big enough discrepancy that can drastically affect DVH curves. Yet we apply standardized protocols, mostly using clinical experience to determine how relevant that protocol is for the particular patient's anatomy.
In order to build the clinical goals for this year's Challenge, we were essentially acting as a virtual physician. Certainly, using the RTOG 0933 recommendations provided a great starting point. However, this year I discovered from using PlanIQ™ software that there is a better way to develop clinically relevant goals that are patient-specific.
PlanIQ has a unique feature—Benchmark Dose™— that allows you to "paint" 100% dose on the identified targets. Benchmark Dose calculates the steepest dose gradient possible for every voxel outside the target area. The calculation is based on known photon dose fall off for a specific energy.
This process produces an idealized dose cloud, and a Feasibility DVHTM for each structure.
The Feasibility DVH removes the guesswork, and tells
you upfront what is going to be impossible per organ at risk (OAR) for a
given patient's unique anatomy.
This impossible-to-achieve dose cloud essentially lets you work backwards to identify, for each structure, clinical goals that approach the limits of what's possible.
As a result, the minimally acceptable goals in the Challenge were inspired by the RTOG 0933 protocol, and PlanIQ established the ideal goals. Consequently, a perfect score was not going to be achievable. However, that is what drives continual improvement, and ultimately allowed Challengers to push the limits of impossibility.

Petite Lady vs. MonaLisa Touch
Over the last two years, NEW innovative treatments for age related vaginal changes are becoming increasingly popular and women are asking about the differences between Petite Lady and theMonaLisa Touch. Petite Lady and MonaLisa TouchTM are the more common treatments used to treat atrophic vaginitis, vaginal dryness and pain during sex. Both are non-surgical procedures available as an in-office treatment designed and approved to treat a very specific condition typically caused by menopause, aging, child birth and breast cancer survival.
Petite Lady and the MonaLisa TouchTMare different by definition. Each are promoted to achieve similar results for resolving the symptoms of menopause, vaginal dryness and painful intercourse. The biggest difference between them is the type of laser used to increase blood flow and promote collagen growth. Petite Lady is a Erbium Laser device that achieves desired outcomes using a less invasive laser; whereas, the MonaLisa TouchTM uses laser energy to administer heat to penetrate deeper into vaginal tissue. The MonaLisa TouchTMCO2 laser is a fractional ablation device that uses harsh and strong laser energy in treating vaginal walls. With the fractionated laser a large and uncontrolled percentage of vaginal tissue is affected and stimulated for regrowth or thickening of vaginal tissue. It simply causes more pain and side effects both during and after the treatment in comparison to the Petite Lady. As it is more invasive the use of Mona Lisa Touch is going out of favour amongst practitioners. The dual-action of the Petite Lady and invasive action of MonaLisa TouchTM, both promote blood flow and collagen growth.
- Petite Lady = Gentle Erbium Laser = heat
- MonaLisa TouchTM = Harsh and powerful laser = heat + fractional ablation
Is treatment using the MonaLisa Touch or Petite Lady painful?
Petite Lady has been described as having less downtime and less pain than MonaLisa TouchTM by the professionals who are offering this treatment. This is merely an opinion but we are finding that Petite Lady's treatments are less painful. The MonaLisa TouchTM is being performed by untrained nurses and although it requires no anesthesia or down time, the treatments are more invasive and therefore putting the patient at a greater risk of complications. Patients are able to return to normal activity immediately following both treatments but for optimal comfort and ability to partake in comfortable intercourse after treatment, the V institute patients prefer to have the Petite Lady treatment.
How much does the MonaLisa TouchTM and Petite Lady cost?
According to reviews and enquiries, the cost of Petite Lady ranges from $1500 – $3,500 for 3 treatments while the average cost reported for the MonaLisa TouchTM ranges from $2,800 – $5,000 for 3 treatments. More Frequently Asked Questions about the MonaLisa TouchTM.
How long do results last using the MonaLisa TouchTM laser vs. Petite Lady?
Petite Lady reports that maintenance treatments are needed between 8 – 12 months versus the MonaLisa Touch's 10 months. The dual-action of the fractional CO2 laser, heat and fractional ablation, should have a longer lasting effect. Neither are permanent as our bodies continuously age and skin cells including the vagina are damaged.
Does the MonaLisa TouchTM or Petite Lady improve or resolve stress incontinence?
Patients from both Petite Lady and MonaLisa Touch have had improvements or cessation in stress incontinence and urinary problems, but no studies are able to support these claims till date.
Why Choose Vaginal Laser Treatment?
We don't think women have to undergo surgery to obtain the vagina they desire. In fact, our laser treatments are much safer and more effective than surgical procedures. Many women don't know the harmful effects surgery can have on their vaginal tissues, while our laser treatment protects and repairs those tissues.
We understand that vaginal textures, appearances, and functions change due to childbirth and age, because it's all part of life! Dr. Pallavi is Australia's leading GPs, holding many qualifications in natural medicine and cosmetics, as well as a gynecology and obstetrics degree. As one of the most preferred doctors in women's health care, she has helped over thousands of women with their vaginal needs.

|Winning Economic Reforms
Dana Williams
|I believe in revolution
-- the large scale transformation/evolution of human
values and arrangement in a more just, free, and
sustainable fashion. I believe that the way to achieve
such r/evolution is through a long-term process of reform
and rebellion, and an effort to create societal
counter-institutions (i.e. dual power).
As such, I have a few basic ideas that can help to win economic reforms that will improve the lives of real people struggling day and day out in the US. Hopefully this struggle will indirectly aid in removing the West's boot from the neck of the Global South, too.
Since the federal government's minimum wage is despicably low-- and all sorts of industries get away with paying crap wages for hard work-- we should fight for living wages, in which the actual cost of living is translated into a worker's salary. Many municipalities in the US have created these living wage ordinances, usually applied to workers working with the city government or private contractors working for the city. This should be broadened and expanded. If enough cities pass these laws, companies will no longer be able to claim that certain places have bad business climates, since they all have them.
It is scandalous that the average CEO makes 400 times the average worker in the US. There is in fact no moral justification for this. It is also plainly clear that the CEO can earn so much more than the worker because they have the power to pay themselves more than they wish to pay those who actually produce the profit (the workers themselves). Thus, there should be an effort to cap salaries and create a salary ceiling for top executives. Jello Biafra suggests doing this, reducing the work week of everyone else to 30 hours (while paying them the same amount), and then paying the unemployed to do the remaining 10 hours of work with the amount saved by the salary cap.
Keeping out multinational companies and chain stores should be a key goal for any city's economic development. Sure, big companies might create large numbers of job instantly, but they also come with high costs and risks. They often ask for obscenely high tax cuts and abatements, they are always at risk of pulling out of the area since they have no roots there, and little of the money is reinvested in the community. With local businesses, those who own the company live in the community, profits are reinvested in the city and are used for charities, and customers feel a stronger need to support them as local.
Progressive taxes can work to redistribute the burden of social services of society more appropriately on the backs of those who leech off the work of others. Poor people must spend a much higher proportion of their income on saleable goods, and thus sales taxes are not as progressive as income taxes. Also, the higher someone's income, the greater percentage they should be paying in taxes. Otherwise, the very same people who benefit from the labor of the poor would be doubly exploiting them by not assisting in the funding of education, health and social services, and other necessary functions.
We should encourage union organizing in every sector of the economy. Unions have been probably one of the main civilizing factors in recent history. Workers deserve a greater say in the time they put in at work. Without a grassroots union representing them, how are they supposed to obtain enough power and pressure to be able to individually lobby their bosses on the job? It becomes every worker against every other worker without a union-- horizontal class conflict instead of vertical class conflict. Workers should also stand in solidarity with other unions who are striking and for workers who are attempting to organize.
Finally, working to assert into the public consciousness that there are other unalienable rights that people have, not just the political ones spelled out in the Bill of Rights. People have economic rights, such as the right to food, health care, shelter, education, child care, and so forth. These are things that there is currently no legal obligation to provide for people. This is deeply important because one cannot have political equality without economic equality. Economic rights are an important step towards achieving economic equality, and then political equality.
Little reforms, piled on top of each other, can help move the economy in a more progressive direction. Then, we only have the humble task of disengaging corporations from state power and divorcing them from so-called personhood rights. We'll get there one day!

South Sudan Muglad - Sudd Rift exploration basin
You can pay by card or invoice
Report summary
Despite the limited information released on upstream activity in South Sudan, Wood Mackenzie estimates over 110 exploration wells have now been drilled in the country's portion of the Muglad - Sudd Rift Basin. The current civil war has seen exploration activity severely restricted since 2012; a definitive end to the conflict is difficult to predict but it seems unlikely exploration will resume in the country until at least 2017. When it does, future explorers should find material oil volumes, and value can be created. We expect the majority of future discoveries to be small-to-medium sized pools. Infrastructure is key - the GNPOC's export pipeline to the Red Sea has spare capacity and new finds could achieve short lead times. However, transportation costs are high. Opportunities to access the basin should become available over the next five years, as key acreage is due for relinquishment in 2016, and other licence holders in the frontier areas of the basin may seek farm-out deals.
