The modern Indian woman is bold, confident and independent. She works towards bringing positive changes in the society and by doing so she establishes her own unique identity. She has her own style and attitude which she can carry off with confidence. She is always ready to dress up for every event, be it formal or casual and mesmerize everyone with her fashion sense.
As a woman, I can say that one of the very first things that someone notices when we are in a party is our handbags. Handbags are fashion staple for every woman because we carry all necessary stuffs in it. Handbags come in various styles and every woman has her own choice of handbags, some love totes while some love satchels. Keeping this in mind, Baggit has come up with an interesting campaign called "Play the life game". Their S/S16' bags are designed to portray the individuality of each woman and it tells us how every woman can express her true personality by sporting them.
Baggit Handbag #LChiara Review, Be #Alwayscool
The bags in this collection include a variety of materials, prints and textures and come in a vibrant array of colors. The unique designs and the touch of individuality in each bags makes it a must have for every modern woman. I was elated when I was asked to try out one of their bags from the S/S16' collection, LChiara, a vibrant pink satchel bag. The bag draws its inspiration from simple, minimalistic yet stylish and cool luggage style bags. This bag is spacious and is big enough to carry daily essentials in it. This bag is perfect for casual outings with friends.

The sling strap can also be carried across the body and the two-way styling facility is great. This is my go-to bag whenever I feel like catching up my friends for a movie or discussing something important over a cup of cappuccino. No matter whether I'm calm or restless from within, with this bag I can be #AlwaysCool.

Focus, focus, focus. These are gradually becoming the three most important things in my journey as a photographer. What? Wait a minute. How can I say that the same word repeated three times would mean three separate things? Shouldn't they be 'Composition, Exposure, and then Focus'? Well, yes. That makes sense but by now these three distinctly separate things should be a given, something permanently secured in the back of one's mind when preparing to capture an image.
If the word 'focus' repeated three times pertained to taking very sharp photographs time after time, then I would have made the title of this post, 'Diopter, Diopter, Diopter,' as my well-used middle-aged eyes require that I use a diopter adjustment on almost all of my cameras in order to make a well-focused sharp image, but this is not the intent here either.
Back in my university days, I had the good fortune of taking a few classes at U.C. Irvine with an art professor by the name of Ed Bereal. The way his last name is spelled is a clue here to where I'm headed with this; 'Be-real.' Get it? No matter what class he taught and no matter what kind of wacky creations we students brought into his classroom, he would defer to his default question during the critique time which was what he would ask over and over until our fragile little egos had cracked apart and he was able to reach into our heads, pull out the essence of what the heck we were trying to say with our art, and present it to . . . ourselves: "Yes, but what is it?"
Oh! That's what we intended to convey to the art-viewing audience. Either there was something there or there was nothing, in case we were not 'being real.' Well, I certainly intended for my photography to be real.
After acquiring some photo gear, I ran out and photographed just about everything, especially landscapes. However, after attending meetings at a handful of art/photo associations, I discovered that everyone with some disposable income had run out, bought either a Canon or Nikon and was busy running around photographing . . . landscapes! They shot other subject matter but it was mostly landscapes. "Too easy," I thought to myself.
I struggled to find what other photographers had not found. What I did find was that just about everything under the sun had already been photographed, both by professionals and by amatuer hobbyists alike. I fled from the quiet peaceful world of landscape photography and dived into the urban environment which around here means L.A. I found compelling architecture and structural design, people, animals, gritty things and scenes that sometimes made for a good image and sometimes were just so-so. What I found in abundance was heavy traffic, scarce parking, made even scarcer by parking meters that only take ATMs or credit cards, and security guards reciting some obscure and questionable regulations about not being allowed to photograph the exterior of a building seen by all in public. !!!!! Whaaat?
So, I focused, focused, and focused again until I became real with myself. I will be heading back to the natural world photographing landscapes. I'm an outdoor guy. I love the quiet, the freedom to capture images of most anything I point my camera at and the lack of traffic and parking meters. Unh uh, no way am I putting my plastic into a parking meter!
My work with landscapes will probably be less prolific than in the past but hopefully more selective and more relevant . . . at least to me and perhaps you as well. Sit back, relax, be patient and when the time comes, enjoy.

I was just looking up beaus lines, since i have lines all up my right thumb nail. the left isn't so bad, just one dent, that gets worse then gets better. it'll range from a small lump to a bigger one. my right nail has gotten worse over the years. itll range from line to a few and/or a horrible lump. ive filed it down and it tends to help. (im not sure if thats wrong) Ive gotten them both from when i was little and smashed my thumbs on a metal gate. I read beaus nails go away after a while but its been a very long while and still no luck. is it possible i may have something else?

Do your ridges run from side to side? If so, that qualifies them as Beaus lines.
Beau's lines can be seen in the fingernails, thumbs, toenails, or all nails and may be confused with nail ridging. This phenomenon was originally described in 1846 by the French physician Joseph Honoré Simon Beau. These lines are caused by diseases that affect the entire body, including malnutrition, heart attack (myocardial infarction), liver diseases, severe infections (such as mumps, measles, pneumonia, and others), and metabolic disturbances, including poorly controlled diabetes. However, Beau's lines can result from any disease process or illness that is severe enough to affect the growth plate of the nail. Some other reasons for these lines include trauma, hypocalcaemia (low calcium), as well as drugs used in chemotherapy and skin disease. Beau's lines can also be seen one to two months after the onset of fever in children with Kawasaki disease. Sources: wikipedia and medicinenet dot com
You know you've had a traumatic injury to your nails and possibly you have another of the causes mentioned here. If you want to trim your nails, go ahead, they're your nails, make them appear the nicest you can. Neither source gives a time limit to Beaus lines.

Alain Riley
Prince of Fort Worth, Adept of the Remarkable Sanguine Void
Alain has been the Prince of Fort Worth for just under 20 years but it has been a well known fact for some time that he is a pawn in the power plays of the Lancea Sanctum and Invictus. Over 40 years ago an uneasy alignment between the Sanctum and Ordo Dracul forced the Invictus Prince of Dallas from her position of power, in order for Archbishop Ashford Craw to rise as ruler of the city. Now the Sanctum and Invictus are strange bedfellows and seem to be making moves against Ordo Dracul vampires in positions of influence. Alain's rise to power was not supported by many and he was even scoffed at members of his own covenant. They say that to look into his eyes is to see an unnatural swirling of black and grey pigments and his monthly disappearances are shadowy affairs. Fort Worth is on the verge of a coup from all sides and is a powder keg waiting to blow. At the middle of this hurricane is Alain, despised by many and no support from anyone. Or so it seems…

Clinton's 'Get Out of Jail Free' Card Unfortunately WorkedPosted: July 11, 2016 Filed under: 2016 Presidential Election, Hillary Clinton | Tags: email scandal, FBI, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Presidential Election 2 Comments
Clinton's 'Get Out of Jail Free' Card Unfortunately Worked
by JBS President Emeritus John F. McManus
Shame on FBI Director James Comey! He supplied numerous reasons why Hillary Clinton's reckless handling of her emails should have led to a recommendation that she be indicted. But, in parlance that has become common, the head of the FBI punted. Clinton magic, enjoyed repeatedly in the past by husband Bill, seems to have prevailed once more.
In unambiguous terms, Director Comey stated that the former Secretary of State had been "extremely careless" when she used a private computer to send and receive sensitive information. He pointed to the "top secret" classification of numerous emails Mrs. Clinton had wrongly sent and received on unprotected instruments. He said the FBI had found "several thousand" emails that were not in the material she was required to turn over to the bureau. About whether hostile foreign governments could have accessed what she was sending and receiving, he said it was "possible."
Comey revealed that Mrs. Clinton had improperly used "several different servers and administrators." But she has repeatedly admitted to using only one such instrument, even joked about employing a type of email that erases itself shortly after being sent.
Comey pointed to 110 Clinton emails that contained varying degrees of classification, even some as high as top secret. But she claimed on numerous occasions that anything marked classified or top secret had been so marked after being sent by her, a complete fabrication.
Comey said "any reasonable person" in the Secretary of State post should have known not to send or receive sensitive information on an unsecured personal computer. And he stated his opinion that "hostile actors gained access" to what she was sending and receiving. It is hardly a stretch to claim that the head of the FBI has in fact questioned her ability to reason.
Mrs. Clinton has often excused herself with the claim that she had "no intention" of doing anything wrong. Yet, Comey indicated that a violation of federal law (in this case a felony) occurs when classified information is mishandled "either intentionally or in a negligent way." Having signed her name to the non-disclosure agreement required of anyone holding such a high post, she knew that she could be prosecuted for what that document states is "negligent handling of Sensitive Compartmented Information."
With all of this, and more, Comey still recommended against an indictment. If she's not guilty of any crime and not liable for prosecution, what's left? Shouldn't Comey have concluded that she's not a reasonable person, not incompetent, and not worthy of being our nation's president? Instead, he left open a path for her to win the White House.
The known facts indicate she broke laws, repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, endangered fellow Americans, destroyed government records, and lied to the American people and government investigators. Question: If elected to be our nation's president, should she be given a security clearance? If the answer to that question is either "No" or "Possibly No," she should quit the race for President.

Mr. McManus is leaving the reader to speculate if there exists a conspiracy to get Hillary Clinton into the White House. Using the "Duck Test," ("If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck") I think it is highly likely that such a conspiracy exists.

Living with blindness
Strangers are kind but the enforced passivity makes one a second-class citizen.
Blindness is enveloping. It's beyond belief to step outside and see so little, just a milky haze.
Indoors, a smothering dark. It means that you can't shed a mood of loneliness with a brisk walk down the street because you might trip, fall and break something. Nor will you see a passing friend, the sight of whom could be as cheery as an actual conversation. Sights, like sounds, randomly evoke a surge of memories ordinarily inaccessible that lighten and brighten the day. "Who are you?" I may already have asked 10 people who have spoken to me. Their body language as well as their smiles are lost to me. Human nature is striped with ambiguities, and you need to see them, but like a prisoner, I am hooded.
I lost my sight once before, to cataracts, a quarter-century ago, but it was restored miraculously by surgery. It then went seriously bad again until, reaching 80, I needed a cane. Tap, tap. Ambulatory vision is the technical term.
Everything becomes impromptu, hour by hour improvised. Pouring coffee so it doesn't spill, feeling for the john so you won't pee on the floor, calling information for a phone number because you can't read the computer, or the book. Eating takes considerable time since you can't see your food. Feeling for the scrambled eggs with your fingers, you fret about whether you appear disgusting. Shopping for necessities requires help. So does travelling on a bus.
The kindness of strangers is proverbial - a woman leads me through the bustle of an airport towards the taxi stand, a waitress hands me back a $50 bill I mistook for a $20. Blindness is factually a handicap, yet an empathetic one, because other people can so easily imagine themselves suffering from it, sometimes even experiencing a rehearsal for it when stumbling through a darkened house at night. I remember how in school we teased students with Coke-bottle glasses, but didn't laugh at blind folk whose black glasses signified that they couldn't see at all.
Everything becomes impromptu, hour by hour improvised. Pouring coffee so it doesn't spill, feeling for the john so you won't pee on the floor, calling information for a phone number because you can't read the computer, or the book.
The ears need schooling as a locator. I search for the bathroom at night, guided by a ticking clock whose location I recognise. As you go blind, exasperating incongruities arise, but also the convenience of this new excuse for shedding social obligations not desired. And you can give your car away.
Like Plato's Cave, your brain consists of memories flickering on a wall. The phenomenalities of sight are now memories, but my sixth sense has helped. Call it intuition; and I've never felt despair, any more than when I was a kid who couldn't talk.
I know about handicaps harder to cotton to, having stuttered terribly for decades, my face like a gargoyle's, my mouth flabbering uncontrollably. Blindness is old hat. In Africa, you still see sightless souls led about by children gripping the other end of a stick. Blindness in its helplessness reassures the rest of us that that oddball is not an eyesore or a loose cannon. Being blind is omission, not commission; and you'd better learn how to fall. Paratrooper or tumbler training would be useful. A tumbler can tip sideways as he lands so his hip and shoulder absorb the blow.
The ears need schooling as a locator. I search for the bathroom at night, guided by a ticking clock whose location I recognise. As you go blind, exasperating incongruities arise, but also the convenience of this new excuse for shedding social obligations not desired. And you can give your car away.
Hearing snatches of conversation from invisible voices, everything becomes eavesdropping. Have I seen my last movie? Is the vision gone from television? But I can still see daylight and bipedal forms, tree crowns and running water, swirling, seething leaves against the sky-blue heavens, which remind me of 80 years of previous gazing on several continents. Eternal instants on Telegraph Hill, Beacon Hill, or Venice and Kampala.
Splendiferous mountain vistas of greensward and cliffs scaffold my dreams, drawn from memories of sheep pastures in Sicily and Greece, rich with textured sedges or tinted canyons, then bombastic skyscrapers, or Matisse's Chapel. So it's flabbergastingly impoverishing to wake up in the morning. Faces are no longer seamed, nor are raindrops stippled on the windowpane, cats high-tailed in a turf war, postage stamps vividly illustrative. I forget my condition and grope for my glasses, wherever they are, as if they could solve the emergency. Blindness is an emergency; the window shades are drawn, and one deals with it in myriad ways.
Instinctively I reach out to touch everyone I talk with, heightening the moment of contact. Shoulders I go for, as gender-neutral, companionable territory, but most folks don't want to chat for long with anyone whose deficits are front and centre. There's sympathy fatigue, though allowances must be made, an elbow gripped, and perhaps the menu read aloud in a restaurant. Poor guy; be considerate; tell him what the headlines were in the paper today, but if he's not Helen Keller, let the next person take a turn at being nice.
You get somebody to scan your mail for you outside the post office, and supervise paying a bill in the return envelope, maybe even writing the cheque for you to sign. Improvising keeps one alive, and at the beach, you can hear the surf thump if not exult in the spindrift's curl. The tide tugs your feet. At 4.30 in midsummer, you hear the birds' morning chorus, nature primeval and ascendant. You dig when you're blind, fingering for roots, then for what the roots are connected to. Curiosity does tip into tediousness, though, when there's no new material.
Blindness as a metaphor is not flattering. Blind drunk, a parent blind to the misery of her children, a politician blind to the needs of his constituents. When blind, you can neither read text nor frowns, but if somebody starts talking to you and you can't see them, hang loose till you figure it out. Equilibrium is the key.
Eyedrops of several descriptions and optical devices accumulate as each is superseded by another. You used different hand lenses for different phases of magnification. Since a book or film is not in the cards, blindly groping for succour in your boredom can be a danger. That comfy stranger on the bench may be Mr Ponzi. Discipline is required. In all your parts, do you still enjoy being alive? Crossing your legs and twitching an ankle, savouring cherry tomatoes, then sweet corn and lobster.
Nights can turn bright if the world mysteriously whitens, as though one's optic nerves were rebelling. It's odd when one part of the body dies but the rest does not. In blindness, we don't cast off our eyes, but continue to consult them in thwarted ways, much as amputees feel their lost parts almost function.
Feeling a chill wind, I'll look at the sky for a forecast, but triangulate the slanting breezes for the message I can't see. I smell the rain before it comes, and the sun speaks to my skin like a finger stroking. As, in my view, joy in people may be analogous to photosynthesis in plants, this is quite logical. But wet days can be delicious also, a cool drink for dry skin, restful in its implications; good weather has its pressures. Less is expected of a rainy day; you can hole up a bit with yourself.
Like Plato's Cave, your brain consists of memories flickering on a wall. The phenomenalities of sight are now memories, but my sixth sense has helped. Call it intuition; and I've never felt despair, any more than when I was a kid who couldn't talk. Blindness resembles a stretched-out stroke. Functions wither as your walking slows. Muscles atrophy and sensibilities, too. You can't size up a new visage, yet the grottoes in your head have more to plumb if your sight was lost midlife or later. You can go caving.
Where are my eyes, I suddenly think, as if I'd left behind my coat. Landscapes become impressionistic, eliding details. Abbreviation is at the core. Input is so precious - the conversations other people pause to grant you, beyond the barest niceties, describing piquant scenery you can't see. Strong sunlight is needed for a newsstand headline but muted illumination has subtler uses, and in pitch dark a blind man is at an advantage.
The personality of the street, hubbubed with hurry, invites strolling. Slatted fences, orange lilies, SALE signs in a window. "Outta sight!" a guy exclaims. I seek a bench I know about, remembering a whole gallery of friends who have died by now. Older than Mozart, younger than Bach, they engulfed my life with love and commitment, and on a good day permeate my mind. My sexual fantasies invoke an alloy of wives and friends. But anonymity has swallowed me like Jonah's whale; I grope inside.
Sunlight beams turn the street radiant for a quarter-hour. Two of my mentors ended their lives by suicide, and I remember their dilemmas sympathetically. One jumped into the sea, the other the Mississippi, but I wonder in each case whether the sun was shining or they'd waited for a rainy day. Our elements return, in any event, to the oceans to re-form as other life.
Nature is our mother, if no longer our home. We couch-surf in rented beach houses, with green belts as habitat for other creatures that remain. How many of us have watched a possum "play possum" or a goshawk swoop after a blue jay? We feed pigeons and hummingbirds, then have done with it. Nature has become a suburb. Of course, I can't see the cardinal at the feeder out the window, though tidal forces still operate. The leaves natter even if you can't see them. Your ears report their bustle, ceaseless until dormant for a span of moments. The pulse in your throat signals that in your torso all is well; it will beat till it quits.
That concordance of organs lives within us like sea creatures throbbing on a coral reef, strung there as on our skeleton as long as conditions allow.
Novelty is the spice of life and salts our daily round even when we lose our sight. Your eyes don't steer you as you saunter, yet your lungs, legs, arms feel as fit as ever. For simple exercise, I hoist myself out of each chair, or bicycle in bed, though then unfortunately may pick up two completely different shoes and try to squeeze them on. My socks don't match either. But why am I not crankier? a friend asks. I'm helpless; I can't be cranky. Blindness is enforced passivity. I have become a second-class citizen, an object of concern. Crankiness won't persuade people to treat me thoughtfully. Disabled, that dry term once applied to so many others over my lifetime, now applies to me. As best I can, I'll make my peace with it.
• Mr Hoagland is a nature and travel writer, and the author, most recently, of In The Country Of The Blind, a novel.

How a 3d butterfly was created from a photo of the moon.
If we are going to make a butterfly out of a photo from the moon, we need to have a photo of the moon! and whallah! above!. The photo of the moon was lassoed in Photoshop and the black background of the night sky cleared, leaving just a moon and a transparent background. And we are going to need some magic! See below.
.What better way to come up with a magical way to turn a photo of the moon back into 3d than a program named MagicaVoxel!. Here the photo is imported in and painted, a very simple thin shape, yet is now a 3d file and can be exported for further morphing into a butterfly. After all, that is what butterflies do right: Morph? Metamorph! good enough for my amateur work!. Now the moon goes into the lab, just like a cocoon metaphorically speaking! Enter Meshlab!
And through reproduction, "you didn't know the moon might reproduce? " we create three children moon and flip them around as such into a basic butterfly shape And it needs some color. Meshlab has many ways to morph, change, paint, resize and manipulate 3d objects. So we will return it later for paint. But it needs antennae! We could do this in Meshlab but I want to tinker with it more. What better place to tinker with a butterfly than Tinkercad.com!!! See below!
Now we tinker with it and use the shapes that Tinkercad has readily available and add a boy and antennae to the moon butteffly. Or Moonfly to be exact. While meshlab can generate shapes, Tinkercad makes a easy way to make other adjustments. But the butterfly needs clothes, "Paint" and back into Meshlab it goes. There are many ways to paint and many programs for 3d, but Meshlab is free as well as every program listed but Photohop. Also when painting and exporting as an object in Meshlab then importing into Sketchfab, , which is the final viewer we will use to see this butterfly in 3d, the paint stays with the object during the transfer. Below: Moonfly goes back into Meshlab for painting.
Now that we have fitted the butterfly, I mean Moonfly with clothes, "color" we are ready to upload it to Sketchfab.com where we will be able to let it fly! "Show it in 360 degree 3D viewing. Below is shown the butterfly 3d object in the Sketchfab 3d editor "behind the scenes of Sketchfab.
Above. Tweaks in Sketchfab.com 3d editor allow for backgrounds, color and light reflecting from the object and various other adjustments such as position and size.
Below: The actual 3d viewer of Moonfly, a 3d butterfly created from a photo of the moon. Use the mouse to spin Moonfly around and the scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
The rough finish of this particular one was purposely done by using manipulations in Meshlab.
Moonfly. 3d butterfly created from a photo of a half moon. See Models for more 3d art model and Dimensions for more 2d based art from 3d art.
4/13/2017 12:01:46 pm
Wow, this was a really interesting read. I wasn't aware that you can use this program like this. You have an amazing talent in drawing and art. I wouldn't even be skilled enough to make my own rendition of a butterfly from an actual butterfly. I actually like the coloring and hard details you've included for the butterfly.

Needless to say, social media has fundamentally changed the way we communicate with family, friends and peers. Uploading a photo of your puppy on Instagram or firing off a tweet expressing a political opinion has become almost second nature, but could that have a potentially devastating effect on your legal affairs?
In recent years, social media has become crucial evidence for criminal litigation, and for good reason—it can provide photographs, direct communications, locations and timestamps. Information gathered on social media was key in the arrest of an 18-year old San Bernardino woman, who confessed to murdering her ex-boyfriend on Facebook, as well as in the capture of Ethan Couch, the "affluenza teen" who was caught violating his 10-year probation on a video uploaded to Twitter.
Even without a warrant, government agencies can collect troves of information from your social media accounts; LinkedIn shows your work history, Instagram keeps a photo catalog of your friends and family and Facebook has everything in between. If the government does get a warrant, they can potentially view deleted posts and collect IP data. That's a pretty scary thought.
How Using Social Media During a Criminal Case Can Hurt You
During a criminal case, DO NOT post anything closely related to your case on social media. Better yet, if the charges are serious enough, avoid social media entirely. Not sure how your social media posts can be used against you? Here are a few ways how:
- Incriminating evidence: Everything you post may be used as incriminating evidence against an alibi or to undermine statements you made during the investigation. Even something in the background of a seemingly innocent picture uploaded on Instagram can potentially be entered as evidence by the prosecution.
- Admission of guilt: A joke or sarcastic comment may be seen as an "admittance of guilt" by the prosecution. A comment completely unrelated to your case can even be used against you. While nothing may come of it, it's better to just avoid unnecessary strain.
- Lack of remorse: It's absolutely normal to be upset about a criminal case, but that doesn't mean you should fire off expletive-laden posts on social media without expecting consequences. Screenshots of your posts may be used as proof that you "lack remorse," even if you delete your comments minutes after posting.
- Potential witnesses and accomplices: Police and prosecutors may look through your social media for potential witnesses and accomplices.
- Evidence for unrelated crimes: While police may be looking for certain evidence, they may stumble upon other information that links you to an unrelated crime.
Social media activity may cause problems for a defendant, so it's vital that you either stay away or be especially cautious with what you post. While the beauty of social media is the ability to connect with people around the world, it can also complicate delicate legal matters. When all eyes are on you, some may not be looking out for your best interest, so act accordingly.Our Weston criminal defense attorney at the Law Office of Kevin F. Moot can provide help with a social media strategy during your case. Together we can come up with a plan that best suits your needs. Contact us today!

Carmen Electra Hosts Genlux Magazine
Fashion And Charity Event
| LA Fashion Judge
Article by Svetlana Krapivina
The style icon, model and superstar Carmen Electra hosted the amazing charity and fashion event that was featured to celebrate GENLUX magazine Fall Issue on August 22, 2015 in Laguna Hills, C.A.. Not to mention, you can now see her on the cover page of the magazine's latest issue. The purpose of the event was to benefit En Plein Air, Dr. Katherine Lee's charity. Dr Lee is also the founder of Halcyon Dermatology, the event sponsor. The fashion show was featured by the talented designers David Meister and SK Kimono and the performance of jazz singer Courtney Fortune.
Carmen looked beautiful and immaculate in her long dress as she stepped on the red carpet that evening.
We all remember Carmen singing "I Like It Loud" and "Werq" and starring in Disaster Movie (2008) along with Kim Kardashian. It was not a surprise to see her at the event since she is also involved in charity supporting campaigns like Elevate Hope Foundation and many others. Damian De Langeron, Ambassador for Midnight Mission and Shriners Hospital, said he was talking to her about possible collaboration on future projects in entertainment, art, and philanthropy. Damian De Langeron, who represents Noblesse Obligé project, is a philanthropist and artist "who gained a reputation among charity and social life for his stunning philanthropic activity and liaison work". As Damian revealed to this reporter, he has a lot of plans and currently works on collaboration with Carmen and Tracey Reiner.

Achieve a Youthful Complexion With Pico Genesis Treatment/
We've all wondered how celebrities seem to look younger as they age. When asked, most A-list movie stars will credit their youthful complexions to "sleep and lots of water." But what you don't hear on the red carpet is that pretty much all of them are also undergoing laser treatments to achieve that flawless glow.
While there are many lasers out there that promise to smooth fine lines, correct sun damage, and brighten your skin for a more youthful appearance, there's only one we rely on at Siti Med Spa.
Introducing…PICO Genesis!
What is PICO Genesis?
PICO Genesis is the world's first laser skin rejuvenation system that offers a non-thermal way to treat pigmentary concerns and reverse the signs of aging. It combines dual wavelengths with dual durations to achieve dramatic improvements in skin tone and texture in just a handful of treatments.
How does PICO Genesis work?
While other lasers use intense heat (which can cause burning and scarring) to stimulate new collagen growth, PICO Genesis combines two highly effective wavelengths with ultra-short pulses to precisely target and shatter pigmentations. In this way, PICO Genesis revitalizes the upper dermis of the skin without damaging surrounding tissue.
Who can benefit from PICO Genesis?
Because PICO Genesis treatments don't create the intense heat that other systems do, skin rejuvenation is now a possibility for anyone who wants to treat fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, redness or scars, including those with sensitive skin. PICO Genesis is also safe for patients with dark skin tones.
Why should I choose PICO Genesis over other laser skin treatments?
Unlike other lasers, PICO Genesis can treat fine lines, large pores, uneven skin texture and discoloration without pain, side effects, or aftercare. In fact, it's so gentle that it feels more like a spa treatment than an anti-aging procedure. Another advantage to PICO Genesis is that because there's no heat or pain, there's no need for topical numbing creams or gels. Following treatment, you'll notice that your skin already looks brighter and more youthful. Better yet, there's absolutely zero downtime. As long as you wear SPF in the sun, you can get back to your normal lifestyle immediately following the procedure.
Are you ready to rejuvenate your skin for a more youthful appearance?
Just because fine lines, wrinkles and discolorations are part of the natural aging process doesn't mean you have to live with them.

Beno Udrih agreed to a buyout with the Miami Heat in late February to allow the franchise to stay under the luxury tax line in 2015-16. Miami is trying to negotiate a deal with the point guard for the 2016-17 season.
By agreeing to a buyout, Udrih did a great favor to the franchise as the salary he owed was reduced by $90,000. President Pat Riley is negotiating with the point guard's agent to sign him on a veteran minimum contract, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
Udrih is keeping all options open this off-season. The veteran point guard is looking for a deal higher than the veteran minimum, as reported by Michael Wallace of the ESPN.

Miami has 15 players with fully or partially guaranteed deals on their roster. The franchise has six guards, although the 2016-17 salaries of Briante Weber and Rodney McGruder are not fully guaranteed. There is a high possibility that the franchise will waive these two guys in the pre-season.
Wallace also reported that the veteran guard is working out in Miami and is very close to fellow point guard Goran Dragic.
Udrih can easily return to Miami if he accepts the veteran minimum deal worth $1.55 million. The point guard featured in 36 games for the Heat last season, posting averages of 4.4 points, 2.5 assists and 1.8 rebounds per night, according to the ESPN.

Miami has suffered a significant loss in this postseason. Veteran star Dwyane Wade has left the franchise. Pat Riley recently matched the $50 million offer sheet of restricted free agent Tyler Johnson in a bid to rebuild.

From the Halloween Tarot, Strength and Seven of Bats.
The Strength card was traditionally know as Fortitude. If a time came when I felt ready to design my own deck, I think I would revert to the old ways on that one.
Collins Dictionary defines Fortitude as: "Courage in adversity or pain." That is the true essence of the Strength card. It is not brute, masculine strength; but the quiet, inner fortitude of women.
Seven of Bats is a card of theft, cunning and deception. Here is someone who is far less than honorable.
In these two cards I can see dealings with a shifty individual. It is going to take a great deal of that fortitude to deal with this person and the situation they are creating for you.
Appearing alongside the Strength card, I would deduce that this is a person that is close to you. They are dangerous in their cunning and sneaky ways, and this has had you completely fooled until now. Yet, they are about to slip up, be caught red-handed, so-to-speak.
The exposure of this person is going to cause you a great deal of pain. Yet, with some love and understanding, you may well be able to get to the root of their behaviour, even help them to turn their life around. This will take a great deal of love and patience, but with the fortitude of the Stength card behind you, you will make it through this difficult time and emerge stronger and wiser in the bargain.

Insurtech Boston, the local networking event for startups and companies seeking to innovate in the insurance industry, has announced that it will be holding its third official meeting on June 15th, 2017. Like Insurtech Boston 2, the June meeting will also take place at District Hall in the Seaport District.

Insurtech Boston is the brainchild of Michael Albert, his co-founder of Ask Kodiak, Allan Egbert, and Jay Farber of F Prime Capital, the venture capital arm of Fidelity Investments. The trio says that Insurtech Boston was created in order to help those working in the insurance industry and insurtech to meet one another and to help startups, carrier executives, venture capitalists, agents, insurers and any other industry participants interested in the ongoing discussion about the future of the insurance industry.
What you can expect to find at Insurtech Boston III
5:00PM – Doors open with the first 45 minutes dedicated to networking (via the open bar)
5:45PM – Featured Presentation (With further details to be announced)

7:30PM – More networking (via the open bar) until they turn off the lights…
Why you should consider going
Insurtech Boston is open to anyone: agents, carriers, start-ups, insurance vendors, any individual in the Greater Boston area (or Massachusetts for that matter) interested in connecting and discussing opportunities and possibilities within the insurance sphere.
As such, there really is no reason not to go.

There's merit in merger of Grasim and Nuvo: Sushil Agarwal
29th October, 2016
Aditya Birla Group on 11 August announced plans to merge Aditya Birla Nuvo and Grasim Industries in an attempt to create a stronger entity
Mumbai: Grasim Industries Ltd has been talking to investors to convince them about the merits of the planned merger of group company Aditya Birla Nuvo Ltd. with itself, Group Chief Financial Officer Sushil Agarwal said on Friday.
The Kumar Mangalam Birla-led Aditya Birla Group on 11 August announced plans to merge Aditya Birla Nuvo and Grasim Industries, both of which also serve as holding companies, in an attempt to create a stronger entity, and unlock shareholder value by spinning off and listing one of Nuvo's subsidiaries, Aditya Birla Financial Services Ltd.
The complex merger proposition raised concern among shareholders.
Analysts said minority shareholders are likely to raise objections to the merger as Grasim will continue to get the same or a higher holding company discount when compared with Aditya Birla Nuvo. Even proxy advisory firms questioned the rationale for the merger.
"We believe shareholders will see value in what is being proposed. Post-announcement we have been talking to and meeting investors to convey what was not possibly understood at the time of the announcement. I think there is a merit in what is being proposed so I am sure as a minority shareholder one will support (the merger)," Agarwal said in an interview.
He said the group is currently going through the process of getting approvals from stock exchanges, market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India, high courts, and the Competition Commission of India for the merger, and the separation of its financial business for a listing.
Grasim reaffirmed on Friday that the merger is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of current fiscal or the first quarter of the next. Grasim Industries also reported a better-than-expected second quarter net profit, helped by the performance of its three businesses-viscose staple fibre (VSF), cement, and chemicals-and cost reduction initiatives in chemicals and cement, mainly in terms of power consumption.
The company reported a 50.4 per cent rise in consolidated net profit to Rs. 845.96 crore from Rs. 562.48 crore a year earlier. Net sales rose 2.7 per cent to Rs. 9,261.78 crore from Rs. 9,016.23 crore a year earlier.
Three analysts polled by Bloomberg had expected Grasim to report consolidated net profit of Rs. 821.10 crore on net sales of Rs. 9,136.70 crore.
Agarwal said the firm was waiting for environmental clearances to "de-bottleneck" and raise capacity by an additional 200 tonnes per day in the next six-nine months in its VSF business.
In its chemical business it expects to raise total capacity to 1 million tonnes per annum by fiscal 2018.
Shares of Grasim closed up 0.88 per cent to Rs965 on the BSE on Friday.

This is our home page, so we won't badger you too much here. We'll just remind those of you who landed here by accident that we do everything that was once called marketing and advertising online and beyond.
If you want to talk a little more in depth, we wrote a Manifesto in which we explain why we're here and what we intend to do and why we prefer Indiegogo over Kickstarter. We also thought this would be a good place to set up an Archive to collect material that arouses demons and ignites brain synapses. Some of the materials are our own creations, some we've curated from the cloud. If you'd like to leave your details and chat with our lovely secretary, you're welcome to visit Committee Headquarters.
And now for the reason we have gathered – we are proud to present the members of the collective. For example, Rafi Carmeli, an aesthetician and pixel tamer. Omer Levy is our website midwife, Amit Gal is the content trumpeter, Alex Rosenfarb heralds the execution, Arik Reiser is a web weaver, and Arad Akikos an internet psychologist and conversation monitor. So take a look around and tell us a little bit about yourself, maybe we'll do stuff together.

The purpose of the Community Integration Training Program is to provide an opportunity for individuals with intense behavioral challenges, who have been unable to participate in programs that require them to be part of a group, to have a day program with access to a range of activities that include the development of social, self-help and pre-vocational skills in natural settings.
The one-to-one model allows the flexibility to tailor the program to the individuals, while still exposing the individual to social, recreational, volunteer and vocational activities with others. Each participant has a Person-Centered Plan and receives consistent behavioral support, to ensure safety while out in the community.
The program takes place in natural settings like the Marin Food Bank, YMCA, Whistlestop Community Center, San Rafael Public Library, computer lab and classrooms at the One Stop Career Center, bowling alley and various cultural sites like the Marin Contemporary Museum. Individuals also participate in some of the group activities provided in the community for individuals in the STEP program, to help increase success in being part of group activities.
The specific goals of the program are to:

CORRECTION: In the first chart in this video I calculated the ECB's contribution incorrectly in converting to the dollar equivalency, resulting in the ECB's contribution being underweighted in the composite graph. The total percentage change in central bank balance sheets over the period was 126%, not 185% as stated in the video. The direction of the composite line did not change and the angle of the line did not change materially. Only the scale is different. This does not impact the analysis in any way. In fact, an argument can be made that the ECB should be underweighted because it does not have a Primary Dealer system and has not yet done outright asset purchases to any meaningful degree. Here is the updated chart.

Know when to fold 'em – 'Molly's Game'
There's something polarizing about the work of Aaron Sorkin. His writing can come off as a bit overly effusive and self-congratulatory – in a word, show-offy. His trademark "walk and talk" – which rose to prominence in his time on "The West Wing" and became even more overwhelming in subsequent projects like "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" and "The Newsroom" – can be engaging as hell, but you can definitely have too much of a good thing.
But as prolific as he has been as a writer, both on television and in the movies, he had never before sat in the director's chair before taking on "Molly's Game." The film – adapted from Molly Bloom's book of the same name by Sorkin himself – tells the story of a woman's rise to prominence and fall from grace as her facilitation of exclusive private high-stakes poker games leads first to wealth and then to her arrest and subsequent court battle with the U.S. government.

Inkadinkado Camper Card
I used my Inkadinkado Road Trip stamps for this card. This is one of those cards that I am unlikely to ever send anyone, unless they happen to be taking a road trip in an old green VW van and an orange camping trailer. Hey, I can't help it if I try to live vicariously through my card-making! My grandparents used to own one of these old green vans, we traveled all the over US every summer in it. Awesome. When I get a real job I want to get an orange T@B, which is sort of like the camper trailer in the card. Driving to Alaska is on my bucket list of things to do. :::crossing fingers::::
Have a wonderful week!!!

After a blistering fast and intensive build season for our FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team Opcom Robotics, the tournament we have been preparing for was upon us. Last week Opcom Robotics went to the Western Canada Regional FRC in Calgary to compete together with and against other teams from Alberta and beyond. What followed were three jam-packed days of tweaking and redesigning our robot Vlad, strategizing with our alliance partners, all culminating in the gladiator battle-like games. No humans were injured in this event, but plenty or robots earned their scares, including ours.
The FRC program is sometimes referred to as the only sport for the mind combining the thrill of sports and the excitement and rigours of science and technology. Under strict rules, limited resources, and time limits, teams of high-school students are challenged to raise funds, design a team brand, hone teamwork skills, and build and program a robot to accomplish prescribed tasks against a field of competitors in a modern-day high-tech gladiator-like battle. It is as close to real-world engineering (and Roman gladiator battles) as a high-school student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team.
Here are some of the highlights from our eleven games over three full days at the Western Canada Regional FRC at the Calgary Oval.
In our game 3 we attempted a high goal but got accosted by other bots resulting in a bungled shot and almost tipping one of the opponents in the ensuing jostle.
In game 4 our forks, the device that is supposed to pick-up the ball (or impale our opponents), malfunction. Despite this, thanks to our skilful driver, Vlad the bot scored several goals by pushing and shoving the ball into the low-goal - yay.
Game 6 was our best game in terms of number of goals scored. At one point the forks get stuck in the side wall of the playing field resulting in damages. It's for good reasons our bot has the nickname Vlad the impaler.
The play list of all our games, and a few more clips, are available on YouTube.
More pictures from the event can be found on flickr.
Science classrooms are unique learning environments unlike any other classrooms. As a matter of fact, some things only happen in science classrooms. Here is a collection of event that happened in my own science classroom over the last school year. It's a growing list, so check back for updates.

Bitter will dispute in court
TWO men have been accused of tricking a 100-year-old millionaire into changing his will before he died.
A bitter family dispute over who should inherit the man's $3 million estate allegedly motivated the men to take advantage of his fragile state.
Following the centenarian's death in January 2009, a report on what had allegedly taken place was referred to detectives investigating other reports of fraudsters targeting the elderly in the western suburbs.
Police arrested two men, aged 69 and 70, near Liverpool on Tuesday.
They were charged with multiple dishonestly offences and will front court on Tuesday, November 6.
A 72-year-old woman, arrested earlier this month, will also appear in court that day on a related charge.
Investigations are continuing.
