Mystery and Mayhem – this is Kendo Nagasaki as described by New Generation Wrestling promotions, and they could not have been more accurate!
In an age where everything is explained, rationalised, and de-bunked, the mysteries behind the legendary masked marauder still endure, and they can be seen to go only deeper and ever deeper.
This movie features never-before-seen footage of a whole day surrounding Kendo preparing for a wrestling match, his limo-journey, his encounters with the media, the match itself, and a TV journalist getting more than he bargained for!
The match in question was Kendo's last ever contest, a highly controversial and brutal clash which, in keeping with Nagasaki's ruthless history, could only have one outcome – as long as he wasn't disqualified for his outrageous tactics… Ouch!
And the mysteries? A hint of these have often been seen in the wrestling ring – Kendo clasping his hands to his ears and looking into another time and place, then returning to the fray with increased ferocity. It was said that he was communicating with his samurai ancestors, and finally, this film sheds light on such mysteries, and they go deeper than you could ever imagine…
Truly action-packed, fascinating, and deeply thought-provoking, this film reveals so much about Kendo Nagasaki that his fans have always wanted to know, and more… There's even an opportunity to see the peace at the heart of the warrior, as he plays singing bowls as a meditation.
There's never been a film like this – it spans centuries and relates to both the brutally real and the spiritually profound – qualities which Kendo Nagasaki effortlessly encompasses and expresses. For fans of The English Samurai's unique brand of Mystery and Mayhem, this movie is a must-see!
Available in DVD and Blu-Ray ***Region-Free on both formats***. Total running time: 1 hour 26 minutes. Sales help fund The Kendo Nagasaki Foundation, an organisation dedicated to sharing enlightenment and empowerment through the study and practice of Buddhism.

How close to the wire have you got with doing your Christmas shopping, and what did you end up buying?
Mine was 3pm on Christmas Eve in a small Northern town (had been travelling up there earlier in the day from London), and the only place left open was a Woolworths.
Everyone seemed to like their pick 'n' mix and DVDs though, so crisis averted.
Christmas Eve, 2 or 3 times.
Bought my family "Weneedmorebooze Starter Packs" - Album, book, film.
- Verbal this'd this
- Schadenfreude this'd this
about 4 years ago i went to town on chritmas eve, 8pm
fully expecting places to be open to capitalize on idiots like me who left it to the last minute. NOTHING was open, and the town was full of men walking around dazed and confused.
er don't watch the video just listen
I've never left it till Xmas Eve
But I usually go into town on the 24th anyway, wandering around all smug that you have all your presents sorted. Looking at the panic in people's eyes is great.
ive more presents to buy this year
not to mention my bf's birthday being a day after boxing day. double presents
It can be a bit shit having your birthday around these times though.
If only that it reduces the reasons to have a big party at another point in the year.
My Mum's birthday is on Christmas Day (and she's called Carol - no joke), and my bro's birthday is on the 28th Dec.
Clearly they get separate presents from me for each occaision, and flowers for Mum obvs. I'm good like that, with the exception of 'Woolworth-gate'.
last year i hand made christmas presents. Made everyone a patchwork pillow thing. I was still sewing one of them on Christmas morning.
I get my mother to buy all my presents.
Then pay her back with money I recieve on xmas day. Past The Wire.
You mean
have I ever gotten involved in drug dealing or joined a special unit to bring down drug lords so that I could afford to but Christmas presents?
If so, then yes.D-san this'd this
- useded this'd this

I have been losing weight.
It stands to reason I would- lots of angry gym time, working off my frustration, all the little things that an drive a girl batty. And I walk everywhere- we don't have a vehicle, and while it's only an eight mile loop, but I wear a pack and bop all over the base on rocky, uneven ground. Also, the food leaves more than a little to be desired, although I've had a few things shipped out to me (chocolate, curries, Thai) and I know where to find what's edible on base. The BBQ chow hall and midnight chow serve me pretty well.
Still, last week I needed to move my wedding band from my left ring finger to my middle finger, and ask Sam to send me out some smaller substitution bands. The ring I'm wearing now isn't my actual wedding ring- it's a titanium band, a substitution itself, as I didn't want to risk anything happening to the real ring out here. Titanium isn't re- sizeable, though, so I'm hoping that the quickly fading strip of pale skin next to the ring on my middle finger makes the point for me: still married, just smaller.
It's odd, though; I've been wearing that for so long that I sometimes feel as though it's still on. I've heard of phantom limb syndrome, but phantom ring? Too weird.
It's a good thing, though; through some combination of my thyroid finally coming under control and living this way (car- free + plenty of gym time) the weight sort of slips off. 30 pounds gone since May, and for the first time in a long time I'm happy to be in my body again. Sure, looking cute is nice, but what's amazing is the difference in my back- sweet, sweet relief. Shocking, to let go of so much of that pain and all the hatred it inspired in me for my own body: I have felt betrayed by my body for several years now. I was an athlete through my twenties; being caught in a body that felt slow, sluggish, and sickly was infuriating.
I still have bad days, but I keep a tennis ball in my bag, and if it gets too bad, I see a massage therapist. (I will never, ever get over having a massage therapist in Afghanistan. That is NUTS.) I'm going to need some serious work with a pro when I get home- maybe, finally, getting around to see a chiropractor- but the weight makes a significant difference. Yoga will help, too, if I can ever remember that I want to go to a class on time.
Speaking of being lighter- to change the subject a little- I'm lighter one WIP.
I ripped back the Transition Gloves. It's a fantastic pattern, but that light blue just wasn't working for me- it looked dingy and dull next to the Ink colorway. Funny, because now that it is solo, it looks pretty again. I think that's bound to become a lace cowl. The Ink, I don't know- ach, I love that colorway so much. I was thinking of combining it with Sundara's sock yarn in Pale Sky Over Violet for mittens, possibly? I'm rather in love with the Swirly mittens, as well as the Norwegian Snail Mittens, and I'm determined to make myself a pair of mittens on a string to put inside my coat this year.
(Note to self: also for the queue are the Genmaicha mitts, to be knit out of Dragonfly Fiber's Red Rocket.)
Hooray for being able to see autumn out ahead of us, even if I have to stand on tiptoes and squint to do so.

It seems that after God created the world, He sat back and admired His handiwork, and having been pleased with what He had done, kissed the world tenderly.
- A Madeiran Fable
We have chosen five out of the many Ecclesiastical structures that abound in the Diocese of Funchal. These are the main focal attractions that feature on the agenda of any ecclesiastical itinerary. But these choices cannot in any way diminish the status of any other church, chapel or convent in Funchal. It acts merely as a starting point for the discovery of century old traditions, culture, and artifact that the keen and pious enthusiast might enjoy.
To remind us of some of those that we have not covered we decided to mention as many of them as we could:

The D23 Expo is a Disney fan convention, where many future projects are announced and celebrities make appearances. Sponsored by the Walt Disney Company, D23 is the first official Disney fan club for dedicated fans founded in 2009. This year, the D23 Expo will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center from August 9-11.
Now that Disney owns Lucasfilm, Star Wars fans are interested to see what Disney has in store following San Diego Comic Con (July 18-21) and Star Wars Celebration Europe (July 26-28). According to recently announced plans, "For the first time at the D23 Expo Star Wars fans can have access to experiences created for them by Lucasfilm and Disney. Darth Vader: The Evolution of a Villain, located in the DCP pavilion, showcases the development of the iconic villain from early concepts to striking realization. Crash Course in the Force: Star Wars Saga 101, presented by Lucasfilm's resident authority Pablo Hidalgo in Stage 23, will give Star Wars newbies and experts alike a thorough grounding in all matters of the Force and the Star Wars legacy."
No news about Star Wars: Episode VII, so far. If nothing big is revealed this year, D23 2014 might have something more extensive, similar to the Avengers panel back in 2011.

The Sheepman A tough sheep farmer battles... MORE > $15.96 Regularly $19.99 Buy Now
powered by AFI
The placid cattle town of Powder Valley is thrown into disarray by the arrival of self-assured, cheerful Texan Jason Sweet. Moments after arriving on the train, Jason gives Dell Payton unsolicited advice on handling her horse, smooth-talks the tack store owner into a deal on a new saddle and outwits Milt Masters into selling Jason his best horse. Learning that the town bully is Jumbo McCall, Jason seeks him out at the local diner and knocks him out in a fistfight, then informs the startled townspeople of his intention to settle in Powder Valley and raise sheep. Outraged, several cowboys warn Jason that Powder Valley is the center of cattle country, but Jason remains confident. On his way to the hotel, Jason hires Milt to be his confidant on the town's goings-on. That afternoon, Dell visits Jason in his hotel room to advise him against bringing sheep to the valley as their presence will disrupt the town's recently won tranquility. Jason dismisses Dell's concern and assures her that he wants no trouble. In the lobby, Jason is met by Jumbo, who is under orders to escort him to the town's most important resident, known as the Colonel. After Jason demonstrates his nimble quickness with a gun, however, Jumbo reluctantly withdraws. Later at Chinese Willie's diner, Jumbo and several of the Colonel's men interrupt Jason's dinner to force him to go to the Colonel's lavish home. There, Jason is surprised to meet Col. Stephen Bedford, whom Jason recognizes as former Texas outlaw Johnny Bledsoe. Bledsoe explains the necessity of assuming a new identity to go "straight," and that over six years he has honestly earned his reputation in Powder Valley. When Bledsoe advises Jason not to unload his sheep, which are scheduled to arrive the next day, Jason maintains his intention to settle peacefully. The next morning, Jumbo leads a gang of Bledsoe's men to the station to meet the train carrying Jason's herd. Although Bledsoe is Dell's fiancée, she pleads with her father Frank to prevent Bledsoe's turn to lawlessness. Meanwhile, Jason asks the town marshal for help, but the marshal insists on going fishing instead, pointing out that he was elected by Powder Valley cattlemen and is obligated to them. Dell intercepts Jason and offers to spirit him out of town past the gathering crowd congregated at the train station. Jason accepts and hides in Dell's buckboard wagon, only to alight on the other side of the station, where he races to the water tower. After the train arrives, Jumbo and several men menace Jason's unarmed assistant Angelo in his attempt to unload the sheep. The men are then abruptly scattered by several firecrackers set off by children hired by Jason. With Jumbo and the men in disarray, Jason covers Angelo from the tower, allowing the sheep to be unloaded without further incident. Over the next several days, Jason and Angelo set up camp and settle the sheep into an unclaimed area of the valley. When Jason goes into town for supplies and is refused service, Jason tells Milt to inform Bledsoe of his intention to get the provisions. After a shave and haircut, Jason finds his wagon loaded with the requested supplies and Bledsoe apologizes for any misunderstanding. Some time later, Jason is surprised when Dell rides into his camp to tell him that the cattlemen have met and agreed that they may have treated Jason unjustly. Dell then invites Jason to the upcoming annual Fourth of July celebration and, although suspicious, he accepts. A few days later, Jason arrives at the party where Milt cautions him to be on his guard, but Jason is delighted by the friendly atmosphere. Later talking with Dell, Jason admits that after visiting Powder Valley long ago he had decided it was the ideal community. The festivities come to an abrupt stop at the sound of a train whistle, which Bledsoe informs Jason is a signal that his sheep have been rounded up and placed on board a train. Bitter about the betrayal of the townspeople, Jason allows Bledsoe to take him to the station where he, Milt and Angelo are placed on the train, which departs immediately. Unknown to Bledsoe, Milt has a pistol, which Jason uses to force the engineer to return to Powder Valley. There, Jason confronts the townspeople and accuses Bledsoe of secretly purchasing all the surrounding grazing land. Bledsoe insists he has done so as the representative of the cattlemen's association, but Jason reveals the purchases are in Bledsoe's name only. Bledsoe threatens Jason and departs to arrange for hired gun Choctaw Neil to come to town. The next morning Choctaw and his men arrive and at Bledsoe's request head for Jason's camp. While out riding with Dell, Jason learns that she has broken her engagement with Bledsoe because of his duplicity. Hearing gunshots a little later, Jason races to his camp and, finding Angelo wounded, takes him to town with Dell. There, Milt advises Jason of Choctaw's arrival. Choctaw confronts Jason in the street, but spotting Choctaw's men situated at several spots nearby, Jason refuses to be provoked into a gunfight. Dell urges Milt to join her in helping Jason, and reluctantly Milt agrees. When Dell tells Jason that Choctaw's men have been disarmed, Jason accepts Choctaw's challenge and quickly kills him. Jason thanks Dell, then hurries to Bledsoe's ranch. In the ensuing fight, Bledsoe wounds Jason before being killed by him. Some weeks later, with peace restored to Powder Valley, the townspeople are startled to see Jason's sheep being herded on board a train by Jumbo. Jason admits to Dell that he is selling his sheep to buy cattle as he has never been fond of sheep. When Dell expresses confusion, Jason explains that he took a stand because he does not like being told what to do by others. Dell then invites Jason to lunch and he accepts, on the condition that she acknowledges that he is the boss.

In today's e-commerce environment, using a robust site search system with autocomplete has been recognized as one of the key steps in generating higher revenue. Shoppers that use site search have higher average order values and higher revenue per visit than shoppers that simply browse.
Additionally, shoppers that search for items are more likely to be converted from browsers to buyers, and less likely to move on to other vendors. While site search functionality can be found on nearly every e-commerce site today, many sites fail to capitalize on the power of search because they don't incorporate a powerful autocomplete feature in their search design.
First, let's cover some of the top reasons why autocomplete is essential for site search functionality, particularly in the changing e-commerce landscape of 2017. Finally, I'll discuss how autocomplete can be enhanced to provide a rich shopping experience that leads to even higher conversions.
More Mobile Shoppers Than Ever Before
For the first time ever, more people are shopping from mobile over desktop devices. This trend is expected to continue throughout 2017 and beyond. Autocomplete is essential for catering to mobile shoppers on your site. Many shoppers on mobile devices expect a powerful autocomplete function so that they can easily navigate between different products.
Shoppers desire the convenience of not having to type out complete product names or descriptions on a small screen keyboard. Accommodating this will result in higher revenue per visit and greater customer retention.
Seamless Desktop to Mobile Shopping Experience
Autocomplete functionality for both desktop and mobile devices allows you to deliver a consistent shopping experience across all devices. Users on mobile devices have begun to expect a similar shopping experience regardless of the device they access your site through, and it is up to you to deliver on this expectation.
Autocomplete assures desktop and mobile users that they can quickly access whatever product they are searching for without having to deal with lengthy search terms or search filtering options that may be unwieldy on mobile devices.
Easier Site Navigation
Intelligent site design, with a focus on simple navigation, has always been crucial to shaping a satisfactory online shopping experience. Incorporating autocomplete into your site's search tool is an essential aspect of overall site design. Although smart site layout, menu options, and filtering tools are important aspects of ensuring shoppers can find the products they desire, autocomplete adds another dimension to these tools.
Autocomplete enables your customers to quickly and easily find the products they are looking for, without having to scroll through pages of similar products first. If customers are confident they can find products quickly and efficiently, they are more likely to be converted from one-time shoppers to repeat customers.
A Richer Autocomplete Experience
The benefits of autocomplete are not limited to quick and easy navigation, however. While this is the core function of autocomplete, it can also be configured to learn from shopper's behavior and offer dynamic product recommendations based on a customer's shopping and purchasing history.
This will allow shoppers to quickly access products they repeatedly purchase, or products similar to those they have already searched for. Additionally, if a shopper is using more general search terms, autocomplete can offer category recommendations by brand, product type, or department level – allowing shoppers to quickly navigate to the level they want to browse.
Zachy's Wine and Liquor capitalizes on the converting power of autocomplete by enhancing their standard functionality with search suggestions based on user behavior, made visually appealing with product images and short product descriptions.
By combining intelligent recommendations and product images into its autocomplete feature, Zachy's increased conversion rate by 10x for shoppers using site search, and average order values by 2x for those same shoppers.
These aspects of predictive autocomplete create a more customized shopping experience for your customers, and can result in higher revenue per transaction through recommendations. Leveraging a rich autocomplete platform on your site is crucial to generating greater revenue online. Autocomplete allows you to easily offer a more customized shopping experience for nearly every site visitor.
Autocomplete is an essential tool for catering to mobile shoppers by giving them the tools they need to quickly and conveniently navigate through your site to the products they want. Autocomplete also allows you to cater to both desktop and mobile shoppers – giving shoppers the seamless shopping experience they desire regardless of the device they are using.
To learn more about autocomplete and how to improve the search functionality on your site, take a peak at our e-book The Quick Guide to Better Site Search.

Speaker Directs COSASE To Probe Oil Cash Bonanza
The Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga has directed the Commissions, Statutory Authority and State Enterprises (COSASE) committee to investigate circumstances under which 42 public officers were paid Ugx 6 billion as bonuses.
Kadaga, who made the directive during the plenary sitting on January 19, 2017, said COSASE will be charged with probing how the 42 officials received the money, after government
Kadaga outlined six terms of reference to the committee, which will investigate the claims that the public officers solicited for the payment, honorarium, bonus or golden handshake from the President, contrary to standard practices of rewarding public officers.
The committee will investigate the basis of determination of the beneficiaries to the bonus payments, including a full account of the role of each beneficiary in the court cases.
It will also examine whether all the proper and legal procedures under the laws of Uganda were followed in making the alleged payments and also scrutinize all the supplementary requests and other budget allocations provided to public officers for facilitating the case in London.
The accountability committee will establish all revenues received so far from government under the Petroleum fund and also probe any matters related to the problem within two months.
"I reflected on our debate on the matter and I have confidence in the committee on COSASE. They have done a good job so far so I want to assign it to handle this investigation," Kadaga said.
On Wednesday January 18, 2017, Mbarara Municipality MP, Michael Tusiime tabled the motion seeking for a probe. Tusiime expressed concern that the payment of the reward amounts to abuse of public funds since the officers were carrying out their normal duties in the course of their employment.
During debate on the motion, several legislators concurred that an investigation to establish the motive of the reward, as well as the process in which the
Kasilo County MP, Elijah Okupa tabled documents indicating that since 2010, Parliament had passed supplementary budgets which included funds to facilitate the technical team that handled the oil tax case, to a tune of Ugx 52 billion.
Okupa further revealed that a supplementary schedule tabled before Parliament in December 2016 had sneaked in the Ugx 6 billion payment under the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) budget, purportedly as arrears for salary enhancement for non-teaching staff.
Other MPs called for a value for money audit of all revenues that government has received since the discovery of oil in Uganda.

An optometrist, or doctor of optometry, is the primary provider of vision care. An optometrist can examine and diagnosis vision difficulties or diseases of the eye. They can test and prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses, and other medical treatments.
A majority of optometrists are considered primary care optometrists, but some choose to specialize. An optometry specialization can include geriatrics, pediatrics, or vision therapy.
The growth potential of the optometry field is considered promising. As the baby boomer generation ages, new optometrists will be needed to cover their eye care needs. Also, a large number of current optometrists will be retiring or shifting to less strenuous schedules as they age.
Optometrist Job Responsibilities
An optometrist typically works in a private practice setting. In addition to the medical care, they will be responsible for the business procedures of their practice. This can include advertisement and promotion of their services, customer service with the patients, maintaining medical records, and scheduling appointments. Optometrists working for franchises (such as Lenscrafters or Pearle Vision) may experience fewer or different duties.
Optometrists typically perform routine eye examinations and diagnose eye problems. For unusual diseases, an optometrist will refer a patient to a specialist. Optometrists can also dispense medication for common eye diseases. Some optometrists may offer pre and post operative care for eye surgeries such as cataracts or laser correction.
A small number of optometrists consult privately, research, or teach.
An optometrist is typically able to work in an office with standard hours. Nights and weekends may or may not be working hours, depending upon the preferences of the optometrist's private practice. With the increase in the number of prescription drugs an optometrist can offer, the number of emergency calls about medication has risen. Some travel may be necessary in order to fulfill education requirements for license renewal.
Optometrist Training and Education Requirements
A Doctor of Optometry degree requires that an optometrist attend an accredited school of optometry and complete a 4 year program. This must be preceded by a minimum of 3 years of pre-optometric study at an accredited school or university. All states and the District of Columbia require that an optometrist be licensed in order to practice.
An accredited school of optometry must receive accreditation from the Accreditation Council on Optometric Education of the American Optometric Association. Admission to an accredited school requires courses in biology, chemistry, English, mathematics, and physics. A strong background in science-related courses is important as well.
The competitive nature of optometry admissions means only about 1 in 3 applicants are admitted as of 2007. Applicants are required to take the Optometry Admissions Test (OAT). The OAT covers primarily scientific topics, and consists of 4 tests. A survey of natural sciences, physics, quantitative reasoning, and reading comprehension make up the four parts. An aspiring optometrist should take the OAT following their sophomore or junior year. This will give them time to retake the OAT and attempt to raise their score if necessary. Due to the highly competitive admissions to accredited schools of optometry, a high OAT score will be needed.
For research or teaching, optometrists will need a master's degree or Ph.D. in neurophysiology, physiological optics, vision science, or others.
All states and the District of Columbia require that an optometrist be licensed. An applicant must have a Doctor of Optometry degree from an accredited school of optometry, and then pass a written National Board examination and a local, state or regional, or national clinical examination. After receiving their license, it typically must be renewed every 1 to 3 years.
An optometrist should have a friendly and courteous manner. They will need to be able to provide excellent customer service to a variety of people when working. An optometrist will also need to understand small business finances if they are planning to work in a private practice. Medical billing and patient scheduling software knowledge will be helpful for beginning private practice optometrists.
Optometrist Salary and Wages
As of May 2008, the median salary for optometrists totaled $96,320. During this period of time, salaried optometrists tended to earn more during the first year of employment when compared to private practice optometrists. After the first year, private practice optometrists slowly began to earn more. Self-employed optometrists and those belonging to eye care group practices earned more than franchise optometrists.*
*According to the BLS, http://www.bls.gov/oco/
Optometrist Certifications
Optometrists are not asked to hold certifications due to the rigorous nature of their licensing requirements. Licenses have a lifespan of 1 to 3 years and then must be renewed. In all states, attempting to renew a license typically requires education credits to prove an optometrist is up to date with new techniques or technology in the field.
Optometrist Professional Associations
The American Optometric Association (AOA) represents over 36,000 doctors of optometry, students, and related personnel such as paraoptometric assistants and technicians. In 3,500 locations across the nation, AOA members are the only providers of eye care for the area. First founded in 1898, the AOA is a federation of eye care professionals who are working to provide the latest in optometric techniques and technology for the public.

Week 4, Day 6
~Exercise~I did good today, I did the 35 mins on the elliptical burning 300 calories and adding 2 miles to my January Miles. I also did my arms with the machines.
~family~I didn't get much sugar from the kiddies last night because I got home late from work. I am going to spend 30 extra minutes with them tonight.
3 comments:
I found that some foods, particularly fruits and salads, tended to make me feel hungry. Are your snacks fruit? Pre-portioned peanut butter and nuts made great snacks for me.ReplyDelete
If you have lost some weight since your last fill it might be time for more. I found that there was a period where even 5 pounds weightloss seemed to all come off from my band. My band loosened and it felt like I had no restriction at all again. To get me between flls I would re-introduce foods that i could not eat fully restricted but would move through my stoma more slowly when I needed one. Sandwiches are big on this list. If I can eat more than half a sandwich I know its time for a fill.ReplyDelete
Dee, your post really made we laugh.. because I can sooo relate. Before I had any restriction I would do the same thing.. eat everything and then at lunch time wonder if I had any snacks stashed away in my office.. I guess it really is a wait and see what works with the fill intervals. if you can get in early that's a great thing.. my doc is fairly stringent on this..ReplyDelete

A couple of weeks ago, my friend by the nickname of miss_momotaro asked for my recommendations on concealer via Twitter.
whats the best concealer for eyes in your opinion dear? ~miss_momotaro
(from left) NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat
The key to a good under eye concealer is its lightweight consistency. This is because, any product that is too heavy could appear cakey, which will in turn emphasise the fine lines around the area.
If you are looking for an all-purpose concealer – one that not only conceals your dark eye circles, but also hides blemishes and imperfections – I would highly recommend NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (S$42).
This lightweight product offers very high coverage, whereby a little drop goes a long way. Gently pat or brush the concealer under your eye before you apply a light dash of face powder.
However, if pimples and scars are not a concern, you could consider the YSL Touche Eclat (S$55) which has an amazing silky smooth texture that is hard to come by. It is important to note that this product is not a concealer, but more of a highlighter. It helps to highlight the under eye area, and can be used for contouring purposes. I would use this to define the cupid's bow on my lips when I am wearing a defined, bright lip look.
Remember – always put on some eye cream under your eye to hydrate the area before you apply the foundation and/or concealer.
I hope this sharing is helpful. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Google Glass Gains iPhone Compatibility With The Official Companion App
In order to make Glass appeaing to a larger group of consumers, Google has released an official companion app for the iPhone. It is equipped with the same features as Android version and allows the users to setup their device, connect to a Wi-Fi network and install various Glassware apps such as turn-by-turn navigation, YouTube, stocks and many others. It can also synchronise data and screencast content from Glass to the phone. The only difference between the iOS and Android version of the app is exclusion of support for messaging.
Given the ever-growing popularity of Apple's smartphones and tablets, enhancing Glass with support for iOS is a smart move on Google's side. There is a good chance that a huge number of Glass owners have also an iPhone or iPad. And since we haven't seen Apple make any effort in the field of wearable computers yet, Google's smart shades may be an expedient investment of their time and money.
If you happen to own both Google Glass and an iPhone or iPad, be sure to download the new MyGlass app. It is available in the Apple AppStore for free.

The Seattle Housing Authority (SHA) is buying a bed bug dog to sniff out public housing buildings for bed bugs. NWCN reports:
In Seattle Housing Authority low-income buildings over the past three months the problem has exploded. The critters are becoming resistant to insecticides.
Now the SHA is spending $35,000 to take control.
Smart thinking — because we're told many (if not most) people do not react to bed bug bites.
If you don't react, and you don't see bed bugs, you do not complain. And so your apartment stays infested with no one the wiser.
A pro-active inspection program is a great idea for any apartment building. No, bed bug dogs are not 100% effective in sniffing out bed bugs, but they do a lot better than most humans, I'd venture.
Done properly — with a well-trained bed bug k9 and a knowledgeable trainer — this detection method can be effective. And less time-consuming than having an experienced PCO search (which, many tell us, takes more than an hour to do properly, in a not-very-big apartment).
The SHA is also investing in thermal remediation technology (ThermaPure Heat). And the SHA will be educating residents on how to spot bed bugs.
But one of the best things they can do is keep that bed bug k9 "Bugsy" circulating around and around the units of SHA buildings, before anyone complains about a single bite or sighting.
Combining an effective and pro-active detection method with an effective bed bug remediation method?
Smart, Seattle Housing Authority. Smart.

Mt. St. Helens, WA
When Mt. St. Helens erupted in 1980, we were living 50 miles south in Portland, OR and received quite a bit of fallout from the ash clouds. The top 1300 ft was blown off leaving a crater measuring 1 mile across. When viewed in X2, you can see the dome rebuilding itself in the center of the crater.
I've made several trips to the mountain since then. This photo was taken from Johnston Ridge, about 5 miles from the crater. It was an exceptionally clear day in July 2006. And the sun was such that there were few shadows. Processing was mostly in LR3.

Shopping: Where to find a pair of comfortable ballet flats
It can be hard to find a nice pair of ballet flats. The kind of flats I like, have the following:
- Comfort
- A higher vamp (the front part for the shoe more than covers the toes & stays on)
- A constructed heel/bottom (Some flats are literally just fabric with a covering as the bottom)
- A covered inside so that my feet don't chafe and blister
I'm really NOT that picky because what I've described above shouldn't be hard to find, but alas .. IS.
I've tried a nice range of bad ballet flats, so here are the memorable ones (I won't mention the ones that were bought overseas or are very independent, small brands).
You should be able to find all of the following in North America:
They were comfortable in store, but they've recently started blistering my toes. I can't wear these without socks, and that sucks because there are days I don't want to wear socks or tights.
They're still comfortable at the top because of the elastic (they don't pinch like the other J. Crew flats), but the whole cut and style is rather poorly done.
These are definitely cheap Italian shoes, trying to be marketed as something nicer.
(And DAMN IT I still have a store credit to use up there!)
You can read about all the other horrible J. Crew flats here in this post from their "famously comfortable" Cece flat to their metallic plastic shoe prisons they're trying to pass off as "leather".
I own two of these in the Carson style and just had them recently re-cobbled.
I am normally a size 7, so I sized down to 6.5 because the leather stretches like crazy. In about 2 weeks, the shoes went from a 6.5 to a 7, and then they kept stretching! O_o
Now they're a bit loose on me, I'd wager about a 7.5 because I've been wearing them every single day, which is why they kept stretching.
I am thrilled that they used such a soft, comfortable leather, but as they've stretched out, they keep slipping off my foot when I walk, which is not cool.
If I do decide to drop more money on a new pair, I'm buying size 6 and waiting for them to stretch out.
They're great flats, they're just not staying on my feet any more.
These are made in Paris and they are priiiicceeeeyyy!
I tried a few pairs on during my travels and liked them, but didn't love them enough to splash out $500 on them, seeing as I wasn't convinced of their durability and comfort.
They seem to run a little small depending on the fabric or leather used, so be careful. I saw a pair on consignment in 7.5, and they were TIGHT on my feet (I'd say they were 6's).
These were recommended by Bridget and AdinaJ. I haven't personally tried them on but they looked nice and have lots of options.
They look a lot like Repettos actually, but are probably much cheaper 😉
These were recommended by AdinaJ, and they look a little less conventional (more avant garde in my eye, or more modern) too. I'll have to hunt down this brand to give it a shot.
They're made by an orthopedic surgeon, so my bet is that they are EXTREMELY comfortable and great for your feet.
I really like this one because it looks like a real ballerina shoe and it looks shaped for your foot / toes and well formed.
Recommended by Bridget, they sound and look comfortable (I'd have to try them on in person however).
They look great in that silver, and I'll have to try them out.
Recommended by Fab Frugirl.
They look comfortable, and I can attest to them BEING comfortable, having owned a pair of sandals before.
I will say that their styles are limited and you might find it hard to find some interesting pieces.
Update: From my experience, they're all made in China but I haven't actually searched for any from Clark's, so I can't say for certain.
Recommended by Marissa and a reader of mine, they look comfortable and use Nike Air technology.
I tend to avoid high-tech shoes because they always break first, but I'd be willing to give these a shot to see if they stay as comfortable as they look.
Update: From my experience, they're all made in China but I haven't actually searched for any from Cole Haan, so I can't say for certain.
Recommended by Amy in the comments! They seem to cost around the $175 range, but they could be worth it if they are great flats.
They have an unusual shape and look to them at the toe, but I kind of like it!
Recommended by Brittany in the comments! She has high arches and says these are great, comfortable flats.
That's what I have so far on my list to try. What's on yours for ballet flats?

Ivan says:
Some brand that are really comfortable flars and still affordable:
Puma Zandy flats ($80) fits true size
Puma Karlie flats( $70) fits a little bit small
Camper Nina Right ( $130) choose 1 size up
Sam Edelman Felicia( $ 100) I bought them half size up for extra room
Lacoste Marthe ( $ 90) choose 1 full seiz down they run big
Michael Kors Fulton ($90) fits to true size
Lanvin (pricey $ 300 but can be get half price at eBay) choose 1 size up they run small
Steve Madden Kwilted ( $70) fits true size comfortable made true leather
I tried the Frye Crason I love how soft they are but too pricey for flats and as reading your review I won't spend my $$ on these flats
Cole Haan Nike air are great and confortable !!
Tieks didn't work for me 🙁
Hope this quick reviews helps you and someonelse 🙂
Kristina says:
I have a pair of the Cole Haan Nike Air flats (in a bright blue shade), and they are by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn! I got them deeply discounted at an outlet last year, and am kicking myself for not buying multiple pairs in different colors. I originally didn't think I'd like them as much, because I have big feet and prefer a lower vamp.
Kate says:
I am a big fan of geox ballet flats. I have tried them in a bunch of colours and styles (they are my default work and casual shoe), and I love the quality, the fit (I have wide feet), and the durabillity. Their "breathability" is also great in the summer, if you tend to have hot/sweaty feet. The vent system they advertise actually works. The prices have gone up in the past few years ($120 to $140 per per pair), but I am a big girl and I really do find they last twice as long as cheaper versions.
Sasha says:
For anyone who wants to try on all these flats and lives in Toronto, The Bay at the Eaton Centre carries many of these brands. I saw Repetto, Bloch and Sam Edelman there, as well as some Frye shoes. Could be a good place to start looking.
If anyone else knows of any other shops in Toronto that carry comfy flats, please let me know!
Btw Mochimac, my left foot is a half size bigger than my right! So annoying when I need to find comfy shoes, and I have wide feet too!
Helen says:
There was a similar discussion post on the Corporette blog recently, and someone raved about the flats offered by Casa Couture: http://casacouture.com/
They manufacture in Italy, and the styles fulfill that tricky combination of stylish yet comfortable.
They also use Italian sizing, so the guideline is to size up. I emailed Customer Service with sizing questions, and they were very prompt and friendly. Now that I know my size, I'm pondering which style to buy.
AdinaJ says:
To add to my Twitter shout-out, I found both my Bloch and Taryn Rose flats at Winners, on sale for under $50 each (the Blochs were something like $18). I haven't seen the brands there recently, but it's worth keeping an eye out.
Here is a photo of my old Taryn Rose pair (worn to death now) – just scroll to the bottom: http://www.shoeblog.com/blog/michelle-obama-first-lady-elect-of-style/
I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can find a replacement pair one of these days. They were, hands down, the most comfortable shoes to walk long distances in.
The other brand I adore is Ferragamo. It is very pricey, but you can find "vintage" pairs in excellent condition online for more reasonable prices ($100 and under) if you stalk eBay/Etsy enough. Their styles (I recommend Vara and Varina) haven't changed in a long time, so the look is classic/timeless even on older pairs. One caveat: they tend to run narrow, especially the vintage ones. I have relatively narrow feet, and need a "B" (or medium) to feel comfortable; the shoes run as narrow as AAA.
Daisy @ Add Vodka says:
After our Twitter conversation, I checked out the Taryn Rose and found that – at least the styles on the website – were not very age appropriate for me. I'm in my early (well.. now mid) 20s and the styles I was looking at looked a little older than the look I'm going for. I didn't see the ones in the picture that you have, but I need a black, basic pair. I liked the Frye, Sam Edelman and Bloche options. I really want to actually try them on though; looking online just doesn't do it for me. I need to feel it out. Sigh.. I guess that means I have to go shopping.
Michelle says:
A friend of mine has the Tieks flats and LOVES them. I'm not sure where they are made. But, for the price I would be surprised if it was China.
Dee says:
I'm looking for comfy flats as well and the Bloch ones look cute. Are none of these made in China?
amy says:
I highly recommend Tieks. They had Friends and family sale in Dec and I got my most expensive flats ever but they're so great.
Brittany says:
I had been searching for the perfect ballet flats for a long time, too. I have high arches and if I don't find something that fits well my feet will be in agony. My right foot is also a tiny bit smaller than my left foot, which means sometimes a pair of shoes will fit one foot well but not the other. However, I bought some Merrell Avessos and I LOVE THEM. They are super comfortable and I can dress them up or down.
C.M. says:
Thanks for this post! Like you, I'm picky about flats and I really need a new pair. I've been scoping them out online and reading reviews for months, but I haven't really found anything I'm excited about. Living in NYC, I need something that will be comfortable to walk in and won't break down after a couple of months. But, I don't have tons of money to spend, either. I have a pair of Bandolino black leather flats I've been wearing for years that I got on sale for $30. They've held up well, but it's about time to move on to a new pair that doesn't look so beat up. If you find that perfect pair, you'll have to do an update! 🙂

Roxy is not Roxy's real name.
If you could only sing one song at karaoke for the rest of your life, what would it be? Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler. It's timeless and anthemic. And even the least enthusiastic crowd will get into it if you give it enough heart.
What is one thing people are often surprised to learn about you? I enjoy home canning. I make a mean pickled jalapeño. Bet you didn't see that one coming!
If you could play an instrument that you don't already know how to play, what would it be and why? Piano. I have gigantic hands, so I think I would be good at it. It's that easy, right Jesse?
Which cartoon character had the greatest influence on your life? Jem (of Jem and the Holograms). She was so cool! She had awesome clothes and was the lead singer of a band. And she was a really good person too. I am pretty sure she is responsible for making me the rock star I am in my mind.
Dessert or another helping of dinner? Definitely another helping of dinner. Unless dinner sucked and dessert is really chocolatey and decadent. Then I'd have dessert. But, can't I have both?
Roxy asked us to mention that she wants to be your friend. Facebook!

- Faith and hope get me through the day.
After receiving a diagnosis of prostate cancer in March 2012, RCC's Dr. Andrew Figura told Robert Noonan "We'll take care of you, everything will be ok."
With his wife and daughters calling the shots, Robert began his 44 radiation therapy treatments, driving in from Union City each day.
"Regional Cancer Center has given me life, it means everything to me. The staff are the nicest people, I am always greeted with a smile."
Robert focuses on hope. "With hope you have a chance, there's always a chance for a good ending. In life, you have faith and hope, that's what gets me through the day." Robert refuses to let cancer ruin his day and goes about his life as normal as can be. He can be found outside gardening every day.
His family is his greatest support and he enjoys spending time with his wife of 53 years, his 2 daughters, 6 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren.
His advice: "Don't feel doomed, go on with your life as normal. You have today, and you'll have tomorrow, focus on that. Don't dwell on what could be."

Even as the polar vortex loosens its grip on a major part of the U.S., it's still important to ensure livestock have what they need to stay warm and healthy in winter weather.
One of the most important parts of protecting livestock is ensuring they have the proper shelter and somewhere to get out of the wind and elements. Wet conditions – not only cold – can spell big trouble for livestock such as cattle. Ample dry bedding can help alleviate some of the cold stress by helping insulate the animal from the cold ground. Likewise, it's vital to monitor livestock for signs of distress or problems, such as lethargy, weakness or excessive shivering, according to the Clemson University Cooperative Extension.
"Bedding may not always be necessary for wintering cow herds, but in cases where cattle are wet, bedding is a must," North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension beef cattle specialist Carl Dahlen points out in an NDSU article. "The purpose of bedding is to help keep cattle dry."
Making sure livestock have abundant food and water also is critical. Clemson's Extension notes that in addition to the dangers from the cold, such as hypothermia, one of the biggest threats to animals outside in extreme cold is dehydration. It also is vital to ensure that water sources not freeze over or that ice is cleared to allow animals, especially young ones, access.
Similarly, it is important to provide extra feed or forage to meet the increased energy demands associated with an animal trying to keep warm in extremely cold temperatures. The temperature of concern with cattle sporting a winter coat is 18°F – any colder and the animals' bodies begin to require more energy to maintain body temperature, according to NDSU. The extension also suggests feeding animals in the evening or at night, which allows the heat generated by digestion to help combat cold in the overnight hours.

I'm going to show you a cool new feature in .NET Core 3.0. Let's say you want to create a simple, lean executable you can build and drop on to a server. And it doesn't have the .NET Core runtime.
Posted On Wednesday, July 24, 2019 10:12 AM
So you've just started building .Net Core applications and really starting to gain some traction. You quickly learn how mature and thorough the .Net Core framework is becoming and think "I need to start writing some unit tests for this!". As it turns out, it's super easy and very intuitive, especially for C# developers.

In less than 5 minutes you can have a real Microsoft SQL Server installed on Ubuntu Linux. Full instructions, and super easy.

Recently I found an ORM that I really like: Dapper. It's small, simple, and fast. It can be useful on even the smallest of projects. Dapper is a simple object mapper for .Net that extends the IDbConnection interface. It contains helpers that execute queries and map results in a very elegant way. The best part is the performance is close enough to plain old SQL that it's well worth it. It will reduce the amount of code you write as well, by a long shot.

Application Pools in IIS can be somewhat of a mystery. Since they're created for you automatically many times Administrators don't give them a second thought. But understanding application pools is crucial to having a good running IIS server.

The Microsoft vNext team has been working like crazy to make .Net as open platform as possible, and today we're going to try it out.
Up until now the only ASP/C# development I do on my Mac is under a Virtual Machine. I have a couple "bleeding edge" VMs I use for CTP versions of the framework and Visual Studio. But I never truly develop things on the platform and thought I'd give it a try.
Posted On Friday, January 23, 2015 12:26 PM
So I started a little project on GitHub of some C# coding guidelines. I want to do this to open up a community driven discussion about guidelines and best practices. I don't want it to be written gospel by me, but rather contributions from other C# coders that we can all learn from.

The Twitter Bootstrap is becoming a very popular tool for doing quick layouts and commonly used web elements. I'll show you how you can put this popular tool to work on your ASP.Net website.

Four youths have been arrested following a series of burglaries in Leeds and Wakefield.
The juveniles, from the Armley and Bramley areas of Leeds, were arrested on Wednesday by officers, West Yorkshire Police said.
One of the youths has been charged with nine burglaries, while a second was charged with six burglaries.
They have both been remanded into custody ahead of a court appearance in November, the force said.
Meanwhile, the other two youths were charged with burglary offences and bailed before court appearances.


text: The_Piper Report post Posted September 13, 2008 During a short chat, some ppl mentioned to have a passive mail system on the PK server might be a nice idea. Passive means, you can send mails and you can check your mailbox manually for new mails, no automated notification like gossip does. Years ago i added such a feature to EternalTrivia, but then gossip came out and i stopped working on that, but the code is still there. You can try it on the main server right now. /EternalTrivia mails <== checks your mailbox/EternalTrivia mailto playername hello <== stores a mail for playername If option "Yes" wins, i offer to ask Radu for permission to run EternalTrivia on the PK server, so you can use that simple mail system there (and play EternalTrivia too, of course \ö/) All i need to do is to start a 2nd instance of the bot, thats it, no additional work needed. If option "No" wins, i am not going to ask Radu, no mail system wanted then. If the third option wins, we will see what happens. So vote and/or post your suggestions, comments, other/better ideas here! Piper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sports day in little T's class happened sometime in mid May in between unpacking all our stuff. It was a busy time for us, I don't even remember the exact date unless I check our calendar hanging in our kitchen downstairs.
I remember feeling a bit self-conscious because I was wearing jeans too tight for me because I couldn't find where I packed my other clothes, what box or luggage it was in. Yes, I know you're probably thinking Why on earth is she keeping jeans that are way too tight for her? No, I don't keep it as an incentive to lose weight. If I'm honest, I just can't be bothered to chuck it!
Anyway, going back to T's Sports Day, I'm just glad that this time she definitely ran the race and actually only skipped once and not the whole of it unlike last year. I also noticed, she was eating her hair in a lot of the photos I took of her like this one:
Here she is waiting for the spring race to begin. I'm proud to report that she didn't come in last! Yay, go T! 🙂
And of course there was the usual Egg and Spoon Race. I think that's her I'm really, really concentrating look on her face.
More running …
And jumping …
Then there's the relay, as you can see, she was way ahead of her friend… Yay, go T! Apologies, had to blur the photos where there are other kids. T's school is very strict with posting photos online and we are constantly reminded not to … As if I ever would anyway.
And I'm pleased to announce that little T's team won over-all in the 2016 Sports Day of their school. The school is divided in two teams for the sports day and apparently, T's team hadn't won it in six years. I overheard someone say sixteen years! So well done to T's team!
Has your little one had Sports Day at their school?
Were you ever good at sports?
Do share.
I was really crap at any sport.
Thank goodness, T isn't 🙂

Evidence Matters
Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute staff participated in AcademyHealth's 2016 Annual Research Meeting (ARM), which took place in Boston, Mass., on June 26-28.
ARM is a national forum showcasing cutting-edge health services research and encouraging its use in health policy and clinical practice. The focus of the three-day conference, Today's Research Driving Tomorrow's Outcomes, was reflected throughout the agenda and conveyed the vital role that evidence plays in the transformation of health care and delivery systems to improve health for the future. Throughout the course of the meeting, Neiman Institute staff attended sessions on relevant, high-quality health services research and analysis, including safety, quality and value measurement, public and population health, patient-centered outcomes research, and payment and delivery systems innovations.
During the conference, Darwyyn Deyo, MA, a research fellow at the Neiman Institute, presented research on Medicare imaging metrics and computed tomography (CT) scans. Deyo's study, 'The Effect of Utilization Regulation: The Case of CT Scans and the Affordable Care Act,' found that the Outpatient Imaging Efficiency (OIE) measures can significantly reduce potentially unnecessary imaging, even when hospitals do not have direct control over physician ordering.
Deyo and her co-author Danny R. Hughes, PhD, the Neiman Institute's senior director for health policy research, examined whether one of the OIE metrics (OP-14) changed same day imaging utilization for brain and sinus CTs. OP-14 tracks whether the same patient was given both a brain and a sinus CT on the same day in hospital outpatient facilities and emergency departments, with known exceptions excluded. Although there may be a rationale for doctors to order both these CTs for the same patient on the same day, these orders represent potentially unnecessary imaging.
Deyo and Hughes developed a model of hospital and physician behavior in response to a regulatory change with anticipated future penalties. The model was tested using Medicare claims data from 2008-2013, three years before and two years after the introduction of OP-14. They found that the introduction of OP-14 significantly lowered the rate and likelihood of same day brain and sinus CTs occurring in outpatient hospitals. The likelihood of same day brain and sinus CT orders fell more in outpatient hospitals which had historically ordered more brain and sinus CTs before the introduction of OP-14. Notably, the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010 did not affect the likelihood of same day imaging, possibly due to the increase in overall imaging utilization associated with the ACA.
Neiman Institute staff members, who returned reenergized after three days of educational sessions and panels, are already looking forward to next year's ARM which will be held in New Orleans. Until then, they will follow AcademyHealth CEO Lisa Simpson's charge to ARM attendees to continue producing research that will improve health and health care in the country.
"Your research, your methods, your data, matters. The evidence you produce matters. The data you analyze matters."
Check out a Storify recap of the Neiman Institute staff's experiences at ARM 2016.

Korea's first sunrise of the new Year of the Rabbit will be at 7:26 a.m. on the Dokdo islets, the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute said on Thursday.
The sunrise will occur five minutes later in Ganjeolgot Cape in Ulsan and on the mainland there soon afterward.
In Seoul it can be viewed from Mt. Nam at 7:47 a.m., and in Busan from Taejongdae Cliff and Haeundae Beach at 7:32 a.m.
The predictions are for viewers at sea level; those on mountain peaks or hills may see the daybreak a little bit sooner.

"If it's true that people fear public speaking more than even death, then you figure that at a funeral most people would prefer to be in the casket than delivering the eulogy."—Jerry Seinfeld
Public speaking isn't everyone's cup of tea—that's pretty obvious. But since I've always (except during an awkward adolescence) enjoyed giving presentations and figuring out how to make them more engaging and effective, I enjoy helping others with this work —helping people figure out "what they want to say and how to say it." Nothing's more gratifying than to see my students and clients develop new skill, confidence and pleasure with presentations as they try some new approaches.
My interest and work in this area took off during my days in the 70s and 80s as a city planner when I was expected to give (and had to watch others give) presentations to community groups or other government officials. I noticed how stiff and uncomfortable many of these speakers were in front of a group, while, paradoxically, many of them could be quite engaging in small one-on-one conversations.
Over the years I've worked with several other communication specialists, studied the subject academically, and developed a number of the materials and exercises I use today in teaching and private consulting. I use these with groups and individuals in a variety of industries and professions, including construction, architecture/engineering, finance, software, and the health sciences.

Positive impulse $(1.2/50 \mu s)$ breakdown voltage measurements were carried out in carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ under different electric field conditions by varying the sphere diameter in sphere-plane geometry. $CO_2$ gas pressures up to 1 MPa were used, with the gap distances varying between 5 and 20 mm. It was observed that there exists a critical field (corresponding to the sphere diameter of 20 mm) at which the breakdown voltage is a maximum over the entire range of pressures investigated. This phenomenon is similar to the corona stabilization effect and could be due to presence of negative ion space charge.

Glendale man is accused of illegally performing medical procedures and assaulting a woman
Antonio Nozar, of Glendale, will be in court on January 25, 2017, to face two misdemeanor charges of sexual battery and three misdemeanor counts of practicing medicine without a license.
Nozar, who owns Smooth Skin Laser Clinic on Broadway in Glendale, is accused of inappropriately touching a female patient during a cosmetic procedure he was allegedly illegally performing.
The Department of Consumer Affairs' Operation Safe Medicine unit within the Division of Investigation's Health Quality Investigation Unit conducted a joint investigation with the Glendale Police Department after a victim alleged that Nozar had inappropriately touched her breasts and vaginal area during a laser hair removal treatment in 2015.
The investigation showed that in addition to allegedly committing sexual battery, Nozar had been illegally performing cosmetic procedures. Nozar is not licensed as a doctor, physician assistant or registered nurse. Investigators learned that another woman had reported similar allegations in 2009, but the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office declined to file charges due to insufficient evidence.
Shortly before his arrest in August 2016, a third victim reported that Nozar had touched her inappropriately during a treatment earlier this year.
Physician Hooshang Tabibian, of Los Angeles, has been charged with one misdemeanor count of aiding and abetting the unlicensed practice of medicine. Tabibian allegedly accepted money from Nozar in exchange for allowing Nozar to use his name to make the clinic appear legitimate.
The law requires that the patient receive an examination from a physician or nurse practitioner before receiving cosmetic treatments. Tabibian allegedly never met any of Nozar's victims. Tabibian will be in court on January 25, 2017, at which time the Attorney General's Office on behalf of the Medical Board of California will request an order restricting Tabibian's ability to practice as a physician for the duration of the criminal proceedings.
The Medical Board of California has published a list of frequently asked questions regarding cosmetic treatments, which can be read here.
Anyone with additional information about Nozar can contact the Medical Board. Complaints against Nozar can be filed here.
Consumers can file complaints against any Department of Consumer Affairs' licensees here.
