An isodicentric chromosome 15, or idic(15), is an extra chromosome that is made from two pieces of chromosome 15 that are stuck together end-to-end by their q arms. They typically have two p arms, one on each end, and the amount of DNA that is included from the q arm can vary. When an idic(15) is described on a genetic report, the band numbers are used to give approximate coordinates of the two ends that fused. Essentially all idic(15) chromosomes that we are aware of are maternally inherited.
This shows two different forms of idic(15). On the left, the idic(15) is carrying two extra copies of part of chromosome 15, starting at the p - arm and extending down the long arm to band 15q13.2. When this idic(15) is found in a cell that already has 2 normal copies of chromosome 15, there are 4 total copies of the genes included on the idic(15). This would be 2 extra "Core" and "E" pieces. The idic(15) on the right is the most common type and is asymmetric. On one end, the idic(15) contains part of the q arm down though 15q13.3, but on the other end, it only goes to 15q13.2. This results in 2 extra "Core" and "E" regions but only 1 extra "e" region.
Isodicentric chromosome 15, abbreviated idic(15), is diagnosed in individuals who have 47 chromosomes (or sometimes more) instead of the typical 46 chromosomes. The extra chromosome is made up of a portion of chromosome 15 that has been duplicated and "inverted," so that there are two copies of part of chromosome 15q attached to one another that appear to be mirror images. Because of this arrangement, idic(15) used to be referred to as "inverted duplication chromosome 15." Most commonly, the region called 15q11-q13 is the portion of chromosome 15 duplicated. Sometimes the duplicated region is larger. The size of the idic(15) varies depending on the size of the region of chromosome 15 that is duplicated.
Some children and adults with idic(15) are said to have "mosaicism", meaning that their idic(15) is not present in all of the cells in their bodies. Mosaicism happens by chance in this and many other chromosomal disorders.
Generally, people with idic(15) do not have other family members with the chromosomal abnormality. The idic(15) usually forms by chance in one person in the family. Children with idic(15) are born to parents of every socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic background. There is no known link between idic(15) and environmental or lifestyle factors. In other words, there is nothing that parents did before or during pregnancy to cause their child to be born with idic(15).
This is general information. Families should always seek the advice of a genetics specialist to discuss their specific situation.

If you make the styleshhet path relative to the rooot directory of the site I would think it would work in both cases, i.e. <link rel='stylesheet' href='/stylesheets/style.css'/>
No, it isn't possible, you'll need to download the file first. Using Phil Sturgeon's cURL library for CodeIgniter you should be able to get the file $this->load->library('curl'); $img = $this->curl->simple_get('http://mydomain.in/path/to/attachment1.jpg'); $filename = basename($img); write_file("./upload/path/" . $filename, $img); and then ...
When a plus sign replaces a space, that is a sign that the text has been url-encoded. You just need to url-decode the text in your controller. You don't state what programming language you use, but all languages have some a function available for doing this.
Your images folder might be useful if you want images to appear in google image search. Everything else should probably be disallowed.
How should I handle two different routes to the same place in a website hierarchy? How will this affect SEO?
You will want to use rel="canonical" if the URL is different but the content is the same. At the very least rel="canonical" will not hurt your SEO value with Google. The only choice will then be which URL is the canonical one.
I think Google webmaster tools can gives you a general idea about the important pages. Those are the ones with highest 404 hits. My suggestion is to only redirect the important pages at the beginning. Then wait and evaluate the situation. Are you still getting 404 URLs? Is it significant? Do you have an equivalent content on the new website? You shouldn't ...
Also, my site is hosted on a free host called 000Webhost, so it is sometimes down. Could that affect ranking very much? ...I don't think Google visits my site very often, and Google Webmaster Tools says so too. This is a pretty significant issue, which you indicated before here as well. If Google can't reach your site, it's not going to be able to index ...
Updating pages can be a problem or a solution. Small changes are usually not a problem, but think about this: if you change a page that displays content about "football" and now displays content about "monkeys", as an example, of course rankings are gonna drop, you're completely changing the subject of a page. If that's not the case, and you're simply ...
Sadly there is no way you can reassure your client that using 301's will not shift their rankings. 301's never return the same amount of Juice from the backlinks gained on the original page.. this is because the idea is every time you do a redirect the page gets weaker and weaker and Google do not want to encourage 301's as they can be abused for spamming ...
I'd suggest it depends on your business needs. A separate domain could let you standardize an approach, separate the CMS from the Web application, and maybe centralize your site management to a single location. If you envision providing Content Managent as a service and building your business around providing standard, yet flexible options, separate ...
Or does it really not matter? This. At the end of the day you are still going get roughly the same performance out of the CMS no matter where you put it. The functionality is the important thing.
check httpd.conf to see if .htaccess is enabled
You don't need to use Canonical Tag and Google can pickup it automatically.
Having a server serve unparsed PHP files is a big security hole. It means anyone else would be able to read the code. What happens if you have some files with a password on there? The other issue is speed: loading so many files (dozens, if not hundreds) from a completely different server would be very slow. If you were hosting multiple sites on the same ...
Google Webmaster Tools crawl errors due to Google decoding links that were urlencoded by Codeigniter
I think that the problem is that you have non-encoded forms of the links somewhere in your site. Googlebot has found those links and is trying to access those. So, try to doublecheck that all links in your page are actually URL encoded. The post you were referring to talks about double-encoding URLs in Giigle sitemaps, which is a separate issue.
Google Webmaster Tools crawl errors due to Google decoding links that were urlencoded by Codeigniter
Section 2.2 of RFC 3986 addresses reserved "sub delimiters" such as !: It says that when you produce URLs with these characters you should url encode them: URI producing applications should percent-encode data octets that correspond to characters in the reserved set unless these characters are specifically allowed by the URI scheme to represent data ...
CodeIgniter's code sounds actually quite good for usability - if it can't find a page, it takes you to the category where that page is likely to be rather than returning nothing. Pages you have knowingly changed the URL of are better 301d rather than 404d so they go to exactly the right page. The only potential duplicate content problem here is if Google ...
I wouldn't necessarily serve up a 404. If users are actually linking to your content this way, then changing your application to serve up a 404 will result in a loss of backlinks. i.e. All links to www.example.com/category/we-developer/fgggfgg will be lost. Instead, I would make use of canonical URLs: <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/...
I figured out the answer - I also needed to update the $config['base_url'] variable.
No, Updating website too frequently will not hurt your SEO. Keyword in title is not more meaningful. As title is second most important on–page SEO element. I will suggest you to read below guideline for creating unique title. http://moz.com/learn/seo/title-tag According to Webmaster Guidelines, crawling & indexing of the page is depends on If-Modified-...
Updating very frequently is always a good thing and your site get crawled frequently but updation should be done in content not with URL and title. If title is not working for your site then you can change it but not to frequently.
Per the comments, if the $response is failing with no error message it's generally because you are trying to submit credit card details unencrypted (not using HTTPS), which isn't supported by CI Merchant (for obvious security reasons). In this case, the credit card details wern't necessary anyway because the Auth.net SIM gateway is an off-site gateway (card ...
Domain and URL duplicates are easy to avoid with using a header method called rel canonical it was invented by the search engines to avoid duplicate content ending up within the indexing and ultimately effecting your rankings. As DKOATED suggested you can add the CDN to the Webmaster Tools as remove these URLS but this will likely resolve in it being ...
To enable use of .htaccess files, you need to change the AllowOverride None to: AllowOverride All Also remember to restart Apache after making changes to the configuration (changes have no effect until you do). Usually, something like rcapache2 reload or apache2ctl graceful will do it, but if these don't work, you may need to check the documentation for ...
I never researched that topic but all i can think of is writing your own script, it may take some time but it is an easy job if you are a programmer. If i were you i would ask myself the following questions as start before working on that project, What type of downloadable data i am offering? [media/text/app,... etc] Will i allow partial downloads and ...
No search engine spider would even know about the application folder and thus not be able to crawl it anyway. They would only see what URLs you provide from the home page. Actually IIRC the .htaccess file CI supplies should only allow access to specific folders like images so the application folder should never be accessible. So you don't really need to ...
I have now had some feedback from my ISP which pointed me in the right direction, which is the PHP file handler in use on my server. My server is set up with the DSO handler for PHP 5. That means that files and directories created by my php scripts will be owned by "nobody", and therefore need to be accessible by "Other", so I need to set the permissions to ...
I always access resources like this <?= base_url(); ?>css/style.css and i would recommend it.

David Drumm's wife Lorraine arrives in court for final day
FORMER Anglo Irish Bank chief David Drumm and his wife Lorraine have arrived at court in Boston for what is expected to be the final day of evidence in a case to decide whether the former bank boss can emerge from bankruptcy.
Property deals between the couple and transfers of more than $1m in cash from Mr Drumm and from the couple's joint bank accounts to Mrs Drumm in the two years before he sought bankruptcy are at the heart of the case.
Bankruptcy trustee Kathleen Dwyer and IBRC, the former Anglo Irish Bank, are trying to block the former bank chief's discharge from a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the US. They claim that a failure to document transfers to Lorraine Drumm in his original 2010 bankruptcy filing was an attempt to defraud his creditors, including the bank.
That makes Mr Drumm ineligible for the fresh start offered under the US system, the claim.
In court, where he was cross examined for 10 hours last week David Drumm admitted to errors in his paper work but said it was filled out based on the advice of his then lawyers.
The couple shared an umbrella as they arrived on foot at the court house in Boston's financial district. David Drumm has been present in court for all of the previous four days of evidence and wore a blue business suit, shirt and tie for the final day of evidence. His wife Lorraine Drumm who has not been in court previously during the hearings is due to give evidence later today. She arrived in a dark dress, cream coloured jacked and gold belt.
US bankruptcy judge Frank Bailey set aside five days to hear the case, which is due to end today. But he is not expected to hand down a verdict for several weeks.

WikiLeaks: "Jihadi Tourism" Worries U.S., U.K.
Late last year, British and American counterterrorism officials raised concerns that British Somalis would return to the United Kingdom after participating in "jihadi tourism" in southern Somalia.
The officials at the October 2009 meeting in Ethiopia also worried that terrorists could launch an attack in the U.K. similar to the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, India, that killed 166 people, the Guardian newspaper of London reported Monday evening.
CableGate Live Updates
Special Report: WikiLeaks
The disclosure comes from the trove of secret State Department cables released to a number of news outlets by the document-dumping website WikiLeaks.
In a cable sent Dec. 2, 2009, a U.S. diplomat at the embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, wrote, "There is believed to be a certain amount of so-called 'jihadi tourism' to southern Somalia by UK citizens of Somali ethnicity. The threat from Somalia is compounded by the fact that within East Africa there is a lack of local government recognition of the terrorist threat."
Cables also released Monday show that U.S. diplomats felt that the British government made "little progress" in reaching out to Muslim communities a year after the July 7, 2005, attacks in London's transit system, known at the 7/7 attacks, the Guardian reported.
That revelation comes as British police spent the weekend searching a home where a suspect in Saturday's Stockholm suicide bombing reportedly lived while studying in the U.K.
Sweden Terror Attack Probe Spreads to England
The 2006 cable showed that the U.S. embassy in London felt that the British government and British Muslims often appeared far apart on cooperating over extremists, the guardian reported. Other cables showed that prominent British Muslims criticized government anti-terror initiatives introduced after the 2005 attacks, the Guardian reported.

Anthony Caldwell, LLB is stepping down after six years of dedicated service. Caldwell served as a member of the OCAD Board of Governors from February 2003 to October 2005, when he became Chair.

Clinique revolutionized the beauty landscape with the introduction of Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balms and now they're shaking things up again. The new Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm is a perfect addition to the Chubby Stick lineup (which also includes Chubby Stick Eye Shadow Tint for Eyes). Makeup couldn't be easier!
I remember the day I tried my first Chubby Stick Lip Balm (review) and thinking "this is brilliant!". And to be honest, my reaction was along the same lines when I first saw the Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm. I love the ease and convenience of a cream blush in a crayon. No guesswork—the round-tip of the crayon glides on and deposits the blush color exactly where you want it. Once you've applied it, you can blend in with fingertips, a brush or a sponge. My preference is to just use my fingers, as I do with cream blush.
The Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm is nice, too. You can build color, without worrying that it will be too much. On initial application, the color is sheer and buildable. In the shades I tested, I didn't have one incident where I felt that I overapplied or that there was a learning curve. The color was beautiful and natural looking; this is Clinique after all. The formula is also oil-free, sweat, humidity and water-resistant.
Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balms come in four shades: Amp'd Up Apple, Plumped Up Peony, Robust Rhubarb and Roly Poly Rosie (my favorite shade). I'm fairly sure if you try one, you're going to want them all–don't say I didn't warn you!
Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balms ($21) are available now in department stores and online at Nordstrom, Sephora, Neiman Marcus, Saks and at Clinique.com. Are you a fan of Chubby Sticks? Let me know in the comments!

"Throughout my many years in event planning in New York City, I have not experienced a floral designer who is more refined in technique, organic and exact in execution and naturally stylized in design. Ms. Miller brings the elements of classical beauty to modern day events with an eye for aesthetic unmatched by anyone in the industry." - Brooke Emerson, Marketing Executive, Red Bull
"Corina creates such beauty out of every flower she arranges - she produces such wonderfully fresh flowers, which she carefully and lovingly arranges to suit whatever occasion she working on at any given moment. I will willingly give personal reference to this very clever and imaginative young florist." - The Dowager Lady Elphinstone
"Corina has worked with me on various functions, providing centre-pieces and large vases of flowers, and she always makes it look as though a great deal of time and effort was put into each detail. Everything that she does, she makes with the specific client or event in mind and the result always has a special feel. She is passionate about what she does and she provides good value for her prices. She is a very passionate person when it comes to her flowers." - Chef Lee Vitali, London
"Corina reliably and consistently provides our office with her arrangements every Monday. She puts in beautiful arrangements that last throughout the week. She also takes our requests and works well within our specifications, the christmas tree that she did has been among our favourites that our office has had. She's a hard worker and also a sweet person to have in each week." - Janet Darcy, Doughty Hansen
"Having such pretty arrangements in the flat each week really is lovely, especially when entertaining. Guests always comment on how much they like the flowers. She is concerned and aware of exactly what it is that I would like. It's a joy to have her come each week. Her pots of orchids and vases of flowers are always stunningly unique and pretty. She strives to make every arrangement look special." - Private Client, London
"She works hard, and reads clients very well, profiling their aesthetic preferences. Hence, her imagination, style and enthusiasm are met with much success." - Sam Brown, Owner of Stigma Flowers, London
"Corina has always listened to my needs for particular arrangements and never fails to impress." - Samantha - Central Manager of Eight Over Eight, London
"She has perfected the art of creating elegant, tasteful and unique designs that capture the mood of any setting or event. I've seen her transform many public and private spaces into breathtakingly beautiful atmospheres. And it's hard to find a more delightful person to share their expertise." - Bonnie Stelzter, of Peacock Flowers NY
"I loved The Botaniste from the first time I walked through its little red door. Located in the former home of a used book store, this shop is fairly new to Main Street, Easthampton. Corina Miller, the shop's owner, has filled it with hand-picked treasures, vintage duds and an array of beautiful plants and flower arrangements. The lovely Corina has an infectious enthusiasm for everything she does and her warm personality makes you feel like she's a long lost friend." - from a blog called Bird is a Dinosaur
"Miller is a decorator, "functional decorating" she called it, helps people de-clutter their homes as well as creates floral arrangements for all kinds of events both in the United States and in London...She fell in love with the space too that that sits on the corner of Main and Union streets with a view to Park Street....The store offered a large picture window that she loved. I love beautiful things," she said and will fill the window with them...I'm a vortex for things. I love, love, things that were previously owned." She believes they offer new life for someone and "we're not filling up the landfills" with items that people will love again. There is so much out there to be treasured. I guarantee someone else would be interested." - Article from Masslive February 2012

Hmmm...I'm still on the fence about whether I should get this product! On one hand, I like that it's a non-sparkly, which I do not have; on the other hand, maybe there's a reason why nothing I own is non-sparkly! Lol.ReplyDelete
Ahh well of course you should never let anyone dull your sparkle... :)Delete
Great palette looks similar to UDs Naked!ReplyDelete
It's probably closest to the Naked basics, but this one has tonnes more shade choices!Delete

According to my annual WordPress recap report, I managed a whopping 3 new posts in 2015. A barren, unfruitful year across the Paternal Drunk blogscape, if I am honest. Despite my abysmal […]

The Proposal (2009): Why is it called "on-screen chemistry" when two people seem to romantically connect? The concept of romantic chemistry sounds like an oxymoron to me. In chemistry, there are repeatable experiments, formulas to follow, and scientific structure to be maintained. If you add a and b, you'll get c. In romance, it's much more complex, mysterious, and strangely beautiful than a chemical reaction in a lab. Take Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, for instance. Bullock is a 44-year-old actress with an accomplished film career ranging from Miss Congeniality to the Best Picture winner Crash. She does mostly romantic comedies, though her biggest break was Speed (remember, with the bus?). Reynolds is a relative newcomer; I remember when Van Wilder came out and it looked incredibly juvenile. Then he was in Blade Trinity and Smokin' Aces in action roles. Now he's doing romantic comedies alongside playing Deadpool in the latest Wolverine movie. Quite the jack-of-all-trades here. Oh, and he's 32, twelve years younger than Bullock.
They don't have much in common. But in The Proposal, they've got chemistry. Serious chemistry. And it holds the entire film together.
Margaret Tate (Bullock) is an emotionally aloof workaholic book editor, which basically means that people don't like her. Her assistant Andrew (Reynolds) suffers through it in the hopes that he can accomplish something in the writing/editing world. When her American visa expires and she's threatened to be deported, she makes a desperate attempt to fix the situation quickly by having Andrew marry her. The INS agent isn't convinced. They'll have to go through a huge test to see if they really know and love each other, or if this is the fraudulent marriage that it appears to be. So Margaret and Andrew head off to Alaska for the weekend to get to know each other and spend time with Andrew's family.
The rest of the film is filled with some fairly conventional romantic comedy elements. There's the crazy family members and side characters. There are the awkward sexual innuendos, mostly made by the token grandma character. There are the hilariously uncomfortable social situations that Margaret and Andrew find themselves thrust into. But trumping all of the formulas is the chemistry between Margaret and Andrew. They're witty and smart and playfully antagonize the other person. Over the course of a short weekend, they both learn a great deal about themselves and each other, transforming their relationship and bringing up feelings of affection. Reynolds and Bullock genuinely seemed to be having fun making the film, which makes it even more fun for the audience. There's not a ton of depth to the script, but both actors create a rich profundity in their authenticity and relational connection.
I can't pinpoint how and why two people have chemistry. But these two do. The Proposal is worth watching on a date night. It's surprisingly fun.
Defiance (2008): Based on a true story, Defiance tells the tale of four Jewish brothers struggling to lead a band of Jews hiding out in the Belarus forest during WWII. When their families are killed or herded off into ghettos and internment camps, the Jews flee into the trees and form a sort of commune. Stealing food from nearby farms and partnering with the Russian army, they manage to survive for years in fear of being discovered by the Nazis.
For being such a remarkable true story, this is a rather conventional war film. Director Edward Zwick is good at making heroic war epics; his resume includes Glory, The Last Samurai, and Blood Diamond. He's definitely got a type. And it works here, with Daniel Craig as the eldest brother and the cadre's leader. There is action. There is tension. There is romance. There are heroic speeches given from atop a white steed. There are long slow intervals with secondary characters used as comic relief. It's all very entertaining. You've just seen it before.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't see it still. There are some good performances and entertaining moments. Craig's Tuvia Bielski is a pragmatic and principled leader who keeps their situation very down-to-earth. How do we get people food? How can we keep them warm? He's less interested in giving speeches or inspiring others and more interested in survival. He isn't a William Wallace or Aragorn; he's more like Frodo, an unwilling leader who steps up because no one else will. And by Frodo, I mean a cold-eyed Jewish Frodo with a leather jacket and a submachine gun. Craig gives a solid performance throughout.
Overall, Defiance doesn't add anything new to the war epic genre. But it does highlight a fascinating story about people struggling to stay alive during one of the most horrific experiences in human history. For that, it is worth your time to experience their story.

LeadGen Formula™
The LeadGen Formula is a unique strategy designed specifically to give you the ideal customer you deserve. We customize each strategy to your business goals. Our focus is on financial advisors. We will help you reach your target market with quality content that resonates with your site visitor. Ultimately, this will turn them into a paying customer. Although each strategy is custom designed for each client, we start with three foundations for the site's blueprint – called the LeadGen Formula.
1. Design
From visuals to load speed, everything involved in your website matters when it comes to converting prospects to customers. Website design is more than just how the site looks. It also involves functionality for you and for your customer.
How fast does the site load? Is the website device-friendly – meaning, is it responsive? Is it graphically appealing?
All these things matter when it comes to conversion optimization. It's also a part of SEO and helps you rise to the top of search engine rankings. As part of the LeadGen Formula, we make sure that your website design is the best in your market. We'll design your site for your financial firm's local SEO that also loads fast, is device-responsive, and is a visual masterpiece.
2. Attract
Gaining visitors is more than just getting the attention of prospects. Called inbound marketing, it's different from traditional marketing strategies like advertisements and email lists. Inbound marketing focuses on building trust with your prospects through high-quality content. It's not just about advertising your business. It's about connecting with your ideal prospect on an individual basis through addressing their problems and needs.
Inbound marketing starts with quality content and brand discovery. It's not only visually appealing. It also resonates with your ideal prospect, engages them, and ultimately inspires them to take action.
However, how can you engage a prospect if they don't know where to find you? That's where such channels like blogs, search engines, and social media come into play for inbound marketing. With the right local SEO strategy and PPC campaigns, prospects will be able to find you.
3. Convert
The best-designed websites and the most influential quality content only matter if we can convert strangers into prospects and then into customers. Conversion optimization is the number one goal of the LeadGen Formula. Here, all the strategies come together as one, integrated to turn anonymous visitors and prospects into customers.
Sales funnels generate potential prospects that can turn into paying customers. Everything matters when it comes to building that sales funnel.
- Picking the right color of the call to action to gain attention.
- Crafting the right message to inspire action.
- Designing a visually appealing landing page that is the whole package.
- Creating a strong email marketing campaign.
From design and functionality to quality content, all stages come together to bring you your ideal prospect.
Ready To Turn Strangers Into Customers?
Midstream Marketing is ready to apply the LeadGen Formula to help you turn anonymous prospects into paying customers. We will create a digital marketing strategy that will help your financial firm rise to the top of your local SEO. Moreover, we will help you exceed your business goals. Let us help you attract your target market and grow your business.


text: The "dream of Africa" was the source of inspiration for Sophie Theallet's S/S16 RTW collection, and what a fierce show it was. Strong, sexy silhouettes met with elevated naturalist textures of burlap, silk woven raffia, feathers and lattice as well as tribal prints. But the show stopper for me was the lace work that she somehow managed to create an alligator skin effect. I am also loving the current trend of the racer front choker neckline seen in many of the NYFW designers' collections. This look popped up throughout Theallet's collection, showing how dynamic she is with billowing gowns, ankle length A-lines, feathered bubble skirts, and sexy sheer tops paired with a well-tailored pant. The gold bands tied many of the looks together, creating varying sizes of belts and hemlines in fabric, creating cohesion across the looks. Strong collection, and this designer definitely has my attention!\n

Ted Nash Big Band - Chakra" Nash once again proves to be a thinking man's composer who tackles life's big questions through music. He has assembled a world-class band to execute his vision, and he presents it with little ego but plenty of love. Hearing it on CD is terrific. Let's hope that Nash will be able to present this wonderful music on an extensive tour, too." - Frank Alkyer, Publisher
Ted Nash enjoys an extraordinary career as a performer, conductor, composer, arranger, and educator. Born in Los Angeles, multi-instrumentalist Nash's interest in music started at an early age. He was exposed to music by his father, trombonist Dick Nash, and uncle, reedman Ted Nash - both well-known studio and jazz musicians. Nash blossomed early, a young lion" before the term became marketing vernacular. One of Nash's most important associations is with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. Nash has that uncanny ability to mix freedom with accessibility, blues with intellect, and risk-taking with clarity. His recordings have appeared on many national best-of" lists including The New Yorker, The New York Times, Village Voice, The Boston Globe, and New York Newsday.

Morton Bay (Brisbane) was a convict colony until convict transportation to the place stopped in 1840. After that, Kanakas (workers from the Pacific Islands) were lured to Queensland under the pretext of indentured labour, to replace the convicts.
Queensland was administered by New South Wales until 1859, and then Queensland became a self-governing sovereign British colony with its own army and navy and immigration policy. Its first parliament met in May, 1860. Morton Bay had a small white population of 25,000. A tiny elite of powerful graziers controlled parliament.
The graziers favoured coolie labour and wanted the land clear of Aborigines.
The Queensland army occupied Southern New Guinea to stop German expansions in the 1870's, and in the 1890's was preparing a war against striking shearers. The shearers objected to the coolie labour and were preparing for a rebellion. In 1893 Mother Nature intervened just in time. Three cyclones hit Queensland at once, causing one million pounds worth of damage. The revolution was cancelled.
Queensland's boast is that it had the first Labor government in the world! It lasted one week in 1899.
Under federation in 1901, the colony ceded its power in foreign affairs and trade to Australia.
Free speech in Queensland was hard fought for, and not guaranteed until 2010 when the Queensland government dedicated a Speakers' Corner to celebrate 150 years of parliament in Queensland. It is in the George Street forecourt, just outside of Parliament House.

What Happened to the People in the 'Cars' Universe? 'Cars 3' Cast Offers Theories
With this week's release of Cars 3, we're now 11 years and a full trilogy into Disney-Pixar's hit series, yet (spoiler!) one burning question remains unanswered: In this world where anthropomorphic automobiles rule the Earth, what happened to all the humans? Are we in a post-apocalyptic scenario? Was there a rise of the machines?
There are plenty of theories, and the debate has long raged online. So we decided to take the question straight to the experts — the stars behind the new threequel, which finds an aging Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) struggling to keep pace with next-gen racing stars.
"If they are the reason for our extinction, that just makes me sad," series newcomer Kerry Washington, who voices racing analytics expert Natalie Certain, told Yahoo Movies (watch above). "So I just think it's an alternate universe."
Wilson took a more soulful approach: "It's sort of the dark secret [of Cars]. And you see it happening again with driverless cars. It's coming again," he joked. "No, I like to think that our spirit went into these cars. And that's why they're so human."
"The cars ate [the people]," responded Armie Hammer, who voices Lightning McQueen's hotshot new rival Jackson Storm. "Now cars run on people fuel instead of fossil fuels." (Editor's note: Hammer recently confessed to us that he frequently tells people who, after seeing his dual roles in Social Network, think he has a twin that he ate his brother, so there's a trend developing here.)
Cars 3 opens Friday. Watch the trailer:

Life will be more colorful when it embraces dreams and passion. Miranti Triana Zulkifli has proven it. Since joining the National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS) in 2009, Miranti had a dream to pursue hermaster's degree in the United States. It has became her only destination to continue her studies.
The dream started to show its light when her superior at BAPPENAS provided the information on scholarship opportunities to the US in the PRESTASI Scholarship program-formerly called Human and Institutional Capacity Development (HICD) USAID. After the administrative and interview selection, Miranti got accepted at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies (Yale FES) in 2013.
Yale FES was exactly the campus she wanted, as it was the most reputable campus in the US for forestry studies. Secondly, the course she chose, the Environmental Management, is related to her field of work at BAPPENAS.
"I thank PRESTASI for fulfillingmy dream to studyin the US at one of the best colleges. Studying in the US have a major impact on my self capacity and self-competence. One of the great moments is when I become a speaker on The Yale FES Chapter 2014. In this event I presented topic about Sustainable Forest Management in Indonesia. From this event I learn how to prepare a good presentation and build my self confidence. This is important for my career development,"said Miranti.
Both on and off-campus activities gave her valuable experiences. One of the most memorable moment was when she did her internship at Forest Resources Division, Washington State Department of Natural Resources. As a civil servant, doing an intership in the government offices in the US is an extraordinary opportunity.
During her internship, Miranti underwent an unforgettable opportunity while spending two days exploring the Capitol State Forest. She was accompanied by a forester named Trevor whom she learned to recognize the forest well.
Miranti also learnt to project forests in the next few years in terms of forest management. Any treatment for forests in the present time can actually describe the condition of the forest in the next several years.
Another experience she found very useful is traveling. For her, traveling is not just going to the interesting tourist destinations and taking some selfies. According to her, traveling can broaden the horizons and shape someone's character. Miranti always travels alone and interacts with others on every trip. She tries to understand the culture, language, and worldview of others. This enriches her spiritual life and such great things may not be obtained within the campus.
After finishing her study at Yale FES in 2015, Miranti returned to Indonesia to leap another dream which is to improve forest management in Indonesia. Forest is an important key for Indonesia, as 60% of the country's land area is forest (about 120 million hectares). It is important to keep the forests in Indonesia well-maintained to balance its ecosystem. Since it is the lung of the world.
Indonesia has a great potential to improve the forest management with the initiative of Forest Management Unit (Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan).
As a staff member at the Directorate of Forestry and Water Resources Conservation at BAPPENAS, her duty is to make a good planin both areas. One of the programs she designed with the team at BAPPENAS is to make an integrated inventory system of the forest assets. This program is similar to the inventory of an agency's assets with the subject of forest. The goal is to map our forest potential.
From the inventory process, Miranti and the team incorporate the inventory data to the forest management plan. Good forest management helps the forests to be sustainable and able to provide maximum benefits for the people around and the country of Indonesia.
Miranti wants to share her experiences during her studies to the communities and the country through BAPPENAS. Her tips for the future master student are:

RFS news highlights resources, issues, and news relevant to in-training members of the ACR. If you have a topic idea or would like to contribute to the blog, please email RFS Secretary Patricia Balthazar, MD.
JACR Highlights – March 2018
The Ides of March
JACR Special Issue: Data Science March 2018
Anytime there is a Special Issue edition of the JACR, I feel compelled as a reader to spend additional time and consideration to the articles that have been published for that edition. This compilation of special articles is typically carried out to reflect a specific and more narrowed center of focus regarding a topic which is upfront and/or critical to the present and future of radiology as a field. The recent creation of the ACR Data Sciences Institute symbolizes an important investment of the ACR to make sure that the field of radiology stays in the forefront with changes and innovations that are certain to occur in the near future. Innovations to radiology workflows are not an uncommon event even when looking back into the near recent past with the adaption of PACS and dictation software. Though I am still in training and have embarked on studying for the Core, I have set time aside in both my past and future so that I can pay special attention to the articles published in this Special Edition issue as many of these topics will likely directly affect how I will practice in the near future.
Advanced Imaging Utilization and Cost Savings Among Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organizations: An Initial Exploratory Analysis
The topic of MIPS, MACRA, and affordable care organizations seems to have fallen by the wayside in conversations and online discussion over the past few months. This may be partially due to the growing excitement and emphasis on AI and Big Data topics. While reading this article, I was reminded how important understanding these future changes will be. The further immersed and more aware I become with the intricacies of these new payment structures, the more I am reminded that we are in need of champions to understand these changes. If you are able to stay up to date and knowledgeable with these changes, you will be a very marketable addition to the radiology workforce when it's your time to begin interviewing.
Breast Cancer Screening in Women at Higher- Than-Average Risk
Breast cancer is still the leading cancer in women and has such a personal component to most of those that you know. Breast cancer screening recommendations and opinions can change so frequently that it is important to keep well informed and well versed on the topic so that you can guide and recommend the appropriate screening steps for the daughter, wife, sisters, mothers, and other women in our lives. There is a specific portion of the population that cannot be treated the same because of specific modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors that stratify them into a higher risk group in order to make sure they are being screened appropriately. This article does a great job of outlining some background basics and then defining the current recommendations for those women who are stratified into that higher risk population.
Wither Nuclear Medicine: A JACR Point/Counterpoint
I do always enjoy an article with a little healthy controversy and nothing shouts controversy more than a point and counterpoint post. The topic of Nuclear Medicine is an interesting focus in this month's edition of point and counterpoint.
Civil Discourse | Faculty Relative Value Unit Incentives and Resident Education
"You implemented a clinical revenue value unit (RVU)–based faculty incentive plan in your department 6 months ago. Since then, faculty members have become reluctant to give resident conferences and teach in the reading rooms. Resident evaluations of the training program are plummeting. The residency program director comes to you to discuss concerns about decreased teaching. As the department chair, what would you do?" I am sure that this very question is being asked in practices all across the country this very day. The ability to track and compare the productivity of each radiologist and set specific clinical RVU benchmarks in a given day is likely felt by each and every one of you at a given point in your training so far. Should there be allowances given to teaching faculty so that they may utilize the "teaching RVU" that will substitute the clinical RVU? After all, aren't they training the future of the field of radiology and shouldn't they also be rewarded if this is what they are passionate about?
Diversity Matters | Overcoming Health Disparities in the United States: The Value Imperative for Healthier Populations
There is no understating the importance of establishing fair and equal access to healthcare no matter the race, gender, ethnicity or age. How do we overcome the troubling disparities that we are becoming increasingly aware of today so that all our future generations can benefit from advances in medicine and extension of life expectancy. Though we as radiologists are less aware of these disparities due to the insulation our reading rooms provide, we are still a part of this culture. The only way that we can help end such disparities in healthcare is by becoming aware of them and making sure that we don't contribute to them.

Why You Should Get a Home Gym
Before we answer the question of why you should get a home gym, let's go back to the basics. Health is very important, or rather good health is very important. While we are healthy, we often take things for granted. But when we stop being healthy, that's when we start to sit up and take notice. When we are not talking about a trivial illness, but something that is permanent, and something which we have an influence over – that is our health, then it is important that we do what we can to boost if not maintain our well-being.
So we've just outlined the biggest reason for why you should get a home gym. When in fact it doesn't need to be a home gym, you could go down to your local gym, that's if you have a local gym of course, although the reason why you are all at this website is because you wish to learn about home gyms. And that is the context in which we are speaking. So local gym or not we are talking about having the convenience of your own home gym.
However on that subject of local gyms, there are two disadvantages with that. One is of course that you have to go to your local gym, and depending where you are it may not be that local. The second thing is that the monthly fees may not be justified. For a year's membership, you will have paid more than enough to have set up your own decent home gym. So why lying somebody else's pockets, instead of using that money to invest in yourself? The only real disadvantage to not going to a local gym, is that you will not be having an opportunity to network, if you are the type of person that likes networking when out and about.
Okay, so we just mentioned about the cost of a local gym membership's ongoing monthly fees. And it was mentioned that you can setup your own home gym, with all the essential bits and pieces that you need for less than the cost of the years membership at your local gym. Of course you can spend less, or you could spend more. The main thing then is to decide exactly what type of exercises that you wish to do at home, and then you can look at buying a home gym that has features to match your requirements. And of course saving money is a good reason why you should get a home gym.
If you are looking to do aerobic exercises, then having a treadmill or cross trainer will be great, and aerobic ball is also quite good for stretching you in all the right places. For muscle building, some free weights are always good to have, and then you can get anything from a basic bench, to a bench that has been built out into a home gym, helping to facilitate things like bench presses, led Cole's, and arm curls.
So now that you know all about why you should get a home gym, have a look around the site and buy your home gym!

Side Effects of Low Dilantin Levels
Dilantin is the trade name for the anti-seizure medication phenytoin. This medicine is an anti-epileptic and anti-convulsant drug used to reduce the frequency and severity of seizures in acute and chronic cases. Another use for Dilantin is as an anti-arrhythmic medication. Side effects of low (sub-therapeutic) Dilantin levels in individuals with seizure disorders will be the symptoms of those disorders. There are different types of seizures varying in intensity, duration and outward appearance. For cardiac patients, low Dilantin levels can result in arrhythmias. (see Reference 1)
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Generalized Seizures
Low levels of dilantin can cause generalized seizures in patients who are managed and treated with this anti-convulsant medication. Generalized seizures occur when the entire brain is involved. These usually begin as a local or partial seizure and spread across the brain. There is usually a metabolic or hereditary component to these cases. Generalized seizures can be obvious like the prototypical "grand-mal," or they can be totally silent like the "petit-mal" seizure. It is important to be sure that the patient doesn't hurt himself during a seizure and to provide supportive care after the seizure has passed. (see Reference 2)
Partial Seizures
Low dilantin levels can increase the frequencies of partial seizures in certain patients managed with this medication. Partial seizures result when only a part of the brain is affected by the pathological process. Although this usually happens after stroke, infection or trauma, many of the cases have unknown causes. Partial seizures can involve a motor function, like a muscle or group of muscles that have the seizure. They can also involve sensory functions where an individual sees, smells, hears or tastes something that is not really there. Seizures in other parts of the brain can result in dream-like states and loss of consciousness.
Dilantin is also used to treat arrhythmias in patients on digitalis medications. In these patients low dilantin levels can increase the risks and frequencies of heart arrhythmia. Arrhythmia occurs when the normal heartbeat is interrupted or altered in some way. It is a problem because this interferes with the efficient pumping of blood through the body. Arrhythmia can occur for many different reasons, including damage to the heart's conducting system, metabolic disorders, previous heart attacks, other cardiac injuries or for reasons unknown. There are some very severe arrhythmias for which Dilantin is useful to stop the abnormal beating and return the heart to its normal rhythm. (see Reference 3)

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'major idiots' tag.
You know what this country needs? More idiots in the spotlight.
Maybe I'm just sick and tired of all the logical and thoughtful banter I've been hearing on NPR lately. But you know educated debate is BORING. We Americans need entertainment. We don't need to learn about foreign affairs or other cultures or history or any of that kind of crap.
No sir. We need to give more people like Pastor Terry Jones a voice. Because nothing says news like a pathetic wacko with a heap of hatred for a religion with one major fault–it's not his. Read the rest of this entry »

A MOTHER'S traumatic shock at the murder of her daughter and the life-changing steps she has taken since are to be explored in a TV documentary.
Marie McCourt will this week appear on an episode of the BBC's Inside Out series to describe how she has coped with the loss of Helen 20 years ago, and how it inspired her to help hundreds of other families bereaved in the most terrible circumstances.
The Billinge mother has had an added challenge in coming-to-terms with the tragedy, because the 22-year-old's body has never been found.
For the film, Mrs McCourt revisited the clay pits and canal bank near Hollins Green where so much of the damning evidence that snared killer Ian Simms was found.
Helen vanished on the way home from work on February 9 1988. The following day blood and mud-stained clothing and towels belonging to George and Dragon landlord Simms were found dumped near the waterway.
Even in those days, when DNA technology was less advanced, scientists concluded there was only a one in 168,000 chance that the blood did not belong to a child of Marie.
When Simms more recently took his case to the Criminal Cases Review Board to get the samples re-tested, the probability of its not being Helen's blood rocketed to around 9.5 million to one. Dog walker Eric Bannister also told the trial at the time he had seen Simms's car backed up to the water's edge at Hollins Green. Three weeks later a boy out shooting rats found Helen's handbag further along the towpath.
The area was sealed off and, after a fingertip search, an electric flex, believed to be the murder weapon, was found with Helen's hair in the knot and teeth marks from Simms' dog in the cord itself.
Mrs McCourt has returned to these places before, as she and family and friends have continued their search for Helen's remains. But while she would of course welcome any new leads from the documentary she is equally keen to show there can be life after such an awful event.
She said: "Helen's death led to my involvement in Support after Murder and Manslaughter (SAMM) which has helped some 400 families.
"I want to show there can be positivity. The programme will show what it is like to be given the news but also how you start rebuilding after the media and the attention have gone.
"Your life does not end, you can go forward but it is something you need to work at, otherwise you succumb to a form of depression and shut yourself away from everyone.
"Other people need you and there is work to be done. SAMM is testament to that."
The SAMM Merseyside helpline can be called on 0151 207 6767. Inside Out is due to be shown at 7.30pm on Friday on BBC1.

Emotional healing and profound personal transformation
Overcome emotional pain, grief, and loss
Hi! My name is Mateja and I'm your transformation guide. I graduated in psychology from Arizona State University with the highest distinction but that's far from the only reason why I can help you overcome your challenges. I too went through a major emotional upheaval and loss. That's why I know exactly how it feels, how hard it is to find support, and how often those closest to you only make it worse by their inconsiderate remarks.
Some people might make you feel as if there's something wrong with you if you find it hard to deal with loss and emotional pain, but you are most likely only having a natural reaction. Just to make this clear - I do not treat people for mental illness. Grief and emotional pain are NOT mental illness. They are a natural reaction to various types of hurts and losses. And that's something I can help you with.
How it works
I offer guidance through the maze of emotional confusion and pain you are likely experiencing after the unthinkable happened. This can range from personal problems to painful breakups and other kinds of losses. Not every loss is considered "serious" in our society, and that's a problem. Know that it's not the society that can determine how bad things are - it's you. What matters is you and how you feel.
One-on-one transformation sessions can help you overcome and deal with such issues. The meetings take place over Skype or phone - whichever option you prefer. Think of these sessions as a safe place where you can pour your heart out without the fear of being judged or misunderstood. Together, we'll create the plan for your personal transformation. It will be tailor-made, based on your character, situation, and personal needs. I'll guide you every step of the way, for as long as you'll need me.
Thank you to the moon and back!
Hi, Mateja, I want to thank you for our work together. I am now a mommie. I closed the book on the toxic relationship with my mother and have not looked back. Thank you to the moon and back! XO, A.
So wise!
I've never met anyone so wise as you, Mateja! I moved to a new place, found a job better suited to my needs, and stopped using Mary Jane. Your insights were invaluable! M.
I've finally resolved the issues from my childhood!
Mateja! Thank you for helping me resolve the issues I dragged along since childhood. I reclaimed the power over my life and won't let anyone take it from me again. With gratitude, J.
Reading can help too!
Writing to Heal the Pain: Stories & Poems
A memoir Writing to Heal the Pain: Stories & Poems is an example of how to transform loss and emotional pain into growth and understanding. The book also shows how even though some losses involve death on a symbolic level, that can be equally devastating as a loss of a fellow human being.
A true story and a testimony to how hard it can be to cope with grief and loss in the society that shows so little understanding for what going through severe loss means and how it feels.
Know someone who could use this service? Spread the word!

Falling Short of Lofty Visions, Boston Greenway a Success Nonetheless
"Five years after it opened, the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway is attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors a year, its attendance increasing sevenfold since 2009," reports Michael Levenson. "The park — for years maligned as a glorified median strip between downtown and the waterfront — has become something of a people's park, a bustling urban refuge, despite its lack of major attractions."
"That the Greenway has been embraced by so many is a testament to the power of a patch of grass in an area dominated by concrete plazas and towering buildings," he adds. "Originally envisioned as an emerald gem that would one day rank with the world's premier urban green spaces, it has instead become a democratic haven, a place for the masses to cool off and unwind, perhaps with a cold drink and a magazine."
"Urban planning experts may mourn that the Greenway is not yet all it could or should be. But city residents, workers, and visitors have voted, and they like it."

Police officers can give two kinds of tests to DUI suspects: chemical tests and field sobriety tests. Both types of tests can be unreliable for a variety of reasons. If you are charged with DWI in southern California on the basis of chemical or field sobriety test results, those results can be challenged and disputed by an experienced Orange County DUI defense attorney.
Field sobriety tests (FSTs) are given to determine if a driver's abilities are impaired due to alcohol or drug consumption. FSTs are typically conducted prior to an arrest. Over a dozen such tests are used, including:
- the one-leg test, which requires you to stand on one leg without wobbling
- the walk-and-turn test, which requires you to walk a straight line, turn around, and walk back
- the horizontal gaze nystagmus test, which requires you to track an object visually so that your eye movements may be observed
- the Romberg maneuver
- the finger-to-nose test
- the alphabet recitation test
These tests can be difficult even for a sober person, but the law does not require most drivers to consent to them. In California, if you are over 21 and not on probation for DWI, you have the right to decline an FST.
Chemical tests (breathalyzer, blood, and urine tests) ostensibly determine if you have a blood alcohol content (BAC) level of 0.08 percent or greater (0.08 percent is the legal limit for driving in California). A chemical test is only required after a formal DWI arrest. In standard DWI cases, the breath test is usually administered. Blood and urine tests are rare except in cases involving drugs or DUI felony cases with injuries or fatalities. If you refuse to submit to a chemical test after a DWI arrest, your driver's license can be suspended.
Failing a chemical test does not make you guilty of DUI. At trial, a good DWI defense lawyer can challenge the field or chemical test results and introduce other factors that enhance your defense. If you're charged with DWI in southern California, you should know that the punishment can be harsh and the consequences can be long-term if you're convicted, so it's imperative to speak an experienced DUI defense attorney right away.

Megan's Story
"Today, All of My Symptoms are Gone"
Before seeing Dr. Kennedy, I had daily stomach pains, cramping, constipation, bloating, and a distended abdomen. I was experiencing these symptoms for years and no medical professional could tell me what was causing them. I tried going to a chiropractor who stated GI problems could be solved with adjustments, so I made a one year commitment to a chiropractor.
After one year, my symptoms didn't improve. My primary MD referred me to a gastroenterologist. They told me I was fructose intolerant but not lactose intolerant and was not sensitive to gluten.
They told me to change my diet to exclude fructose and if my symptoms didn't subside I should come back in 30 days. I wasn't given instruction on what foods to avoid though. My symptoms didn't go away and my abdomen was more distended than ever.
I went back to the GI specialist and he told me to take "as much Miralax as I could everyday". This remedy wasn't even plausible with having a full time job and having a life, instead of sitting by the bathroom all day.
I was put on a prescribed medication for constipation which didn't help at all. Then I was referred for a colonoscopy. After going through all the prep for the colonoscopy and the procedure itself, I was told nothing abnormal was found.
The GI specialist was stumped, so he just referred me to a pelvic floor center without any other instruction. After researching what the purpose of a pelvic floor center is, I knew the GI specialist wasn't even listening to what my primary concerns were. So, I went back to my primary doctor who just referred me to have a scan of my abdomen and a pelvic ultrasound. So I followed through with both and still no results.
By this time, I had invested over one year to seeking help and going through procedures with no answers. I used to enjoy running and working out which I wasn't able to do anymore because of my stomach pains, bloating, and distention. The referral to Dr. Kennedy came from my chiropractor.
I was reluctant at first, but thought I had nothing to lose at this point. Dr. Kennedy listened to what my concerns were and informed me of what Nutrition Response Testing entails before getting into anything. I was told to cut out fructose, lactose, and gluten from my diet. The difference was that Dr. Kennedy told me specifically what foods I should and shouldn't eat which made it much easier for me to follow.
I was given supplements to take each day and was explained what each was for. I was told to stay away from plastics, such as water bottles and food containers that I was storing my food in. I was also given wheat germ oil for my scars. I followed my regimen exactly and began seeing results within the first week. I was no longer constipated and my stomach pains and cramping went away. I was learning what my body needed and didn't need so changing my diet was easy because I knew I was helping my body heal itself.
After four weeks, my bloating subsided and my abdomen was less distended. I couldn't believe what took over one year for medical doctors to work on started changing after one month with Dr. Kennedy. Today, all of my symptoms are gone and my distention is improving. I am not as self-conscious in clothing and I am able to run and be more active again. I continue seeing Dr. Kennedy and continue to feel better. My distention was my worst symptom and I know it may take more time for this last symptom to go away. I am more than willing to keep at it because I have already started feeling like myself again. I was skeptical and said that if this actually worked I'd be the spokesperson for Nutrition Response Testing. So here I am, promoting the outcomes of just letting your body tell you what it needs.

So for me, summer is all about braids. I just can't get enough of them! Fishtail braids, french braids, halo braids, mikmaid braids pretty much every braid going really.. So I thought I would share with you my three favourite braided hairstyles for the summer.
'Halo' Braid:
Take the two sections from your hair on either side that are nearest to your ear. (This is really hard to explain but you'll hopefully understand what I mean from the picture!)
Once you have separated your hair into these two sections begin to plait the thin sections next to your hair into a normal braid and tie the ends with a bobble.
You should then be left with two plaits. To create the 'halo' look, scrape the rest of your hair back using a brush to remove any parting your hair may have then simply place each braid across the top of your head and put in place using a clip or bobby pin to pin it down. Before you do this you may wish to remove the hair tie so there's no 'bumps' in your hair and the braid then looks more natural and is concealed more by your hair.
And voila! There you have it, a simple yet, beautiful halo braid in 4 simple steps!
'Milk Maid' Braid:
This is pretty similar to the 'Halo' braid but instead of only a section your hair being braided, this actually uses all of your hair.
To begin, separate your hair in half as though you are creating two pigtails and then create a plait on either side, fastening with a hair tie or I like to use a clip at the end of each plait as I'll be using this to keep my hair in place on my head anyway.
Once you have created your two plaits, you will need to twist each plait from the top just slightly before lifting this over your head and placing over the other side just like you did for the 'Halo' braid.
Once you have placed each braid where you would like it on your head you should end up with something like this..
I actually worn my hair like this to a festival I went to recently and received a few compliments for it! You can check out what I worn to that as well as my hair and make up here: Festival Weekender!
The 'Double Plaited' Side Braid:
Ever wondered how you can made a side plait more interesting? Yet still simple, quick and easy? Then why not turn your plait into two plaits yet make it look like one.. This sounds more complicated than it is but trust me it is super super easy!!
Firstly, begin by placing your hair onto whichever side you prefer, it doesn't particularly matter which side you choose. Once you have done this split your hair in half and create two plaits. As always keep in place with a hair tie.
You should then be left with two plaits. Begin to wrap these around each other until you reach the end of each plait. Remove the two individual hair ties and tie each plait together as one, giving the illusion this is one plait rather than two.
If you wish you can also continue the plait once the two plaits are embedded together so your 'one' plait begins off as chunky looking then becomes slimmer as you continue down.
And there you have it, your braid is complete! If you wish you can add a bow to create an even more 'girly' feel to this look, I think this is super cute and adds more of an edge to this look as well helping to keep your two plaits slightly more in place.
Perfect for back to school!
And so those are my current go to summer hairstyles! Let me know what yours are in the comments below!
Until next time..
