SoH is a women-only salon in Dubai that offers "Snow White" pedicures, temporary tattoos and an array of rainbow- or unicorn-hair color services. But its most popular feature, according to the lifestyle site Refinery29, is the "nelfie."
A "nelfie" is when a client gets her self-portrait painted on her nails, which she then, of course, shares on Instagram. And SoH's "nelfies" are the ne plus ultra of nail art: flower-crowned Snapchat-filtered selfies, mother-and-child diptychs, even entire family photos re-created in loving, painstaking detail on a single tip.
The practice is both celebratory and subversive. As SoH owner Sally Soheili told Refinery29, "This is a culture where for some people, it might not necessarily be a social norm for you to showcase your face or beauty on social media." In other words, the nelfie allows women a way to share her image, her favorite outfit or her particular beauty routine with friends and family without worrying about appearing too proud or exhibitionist.
Social media — particularly Instagram and Snapchat — are often derided as encouraging narcissism. But women in places like the United Arab Emirates or Saudi Arabia (one of the youngest nations in the world, in terms of population) are using social media as a powerful means of self-expression. And Muslim Instagrammers, including Hipster Hijabi's Summer Albarcha, utilize the photo-sharing platform to show the world a different side of Islam, and that Muslim women can dress playfully and fashionably while observing their religion. SoH's nelfies are just the latest example of that.

Protecting Your Rights
Protecting Your Future
Imagine you are leaving a restaurant in Downtown Knoxville on a Friday night. You make a right turn at a red light, and suddenly — seemingly without warning — you see the flashing blue lights in your rear view mirror. In a matter of minutes, you have been asked to step out of the vehicle and a cop is placing a pair of handcuffs on you. Before you have had a chance to catch your breath and figure out what is going on, you are being hauled off to jail.
Do you know what to do?
Most arrests happen quickly, especially when the charges involve drunk driving, drug possession, theft, or assault. What you do in the minutes and hours after being arrested could change your life. You likely have questions racing through your head. What should I say to the police? Where am I being taken? How do I explain this to family? How do I defend my case? Will this affect my career?
We have the answers. You need a strong, experienced Knoxville criminal defense lawyer by your side. The Barnes Law Firm is here to help. Many of our clients have never been arrested or represented by an attorney before. When you work with our legal team you can rest assured your case will be handled professionally.

Prosecutors must be able to present evidence proving all charges beyond a reasonable doubt. If the prosecution cannot meet its burden, our Knoxville defense lawyer is prepared to fight to get all charges dropped. In other cases, the best defense is to focus on reducing the penalties — ensuring that a felony convicted is avoided and that our clients stay out of jail.

On December 21, 1994, interviewer Charlie Rose devoted the entire hour's length of his PBS talk show to a conversation with Dennis Hopper. Among the many topics they covered was his gratitude for being a highly-demanded actor of the day, and how it occasionally conflicted with his desire for greater creativity.
Charlie Rose: [Do] you love acting more than you love directing?
Dennis Hopper: [They're] really totally two different jobs…The director has the full responsibility of the show – It's control and decisions. And he's also there every second. I mean, it's a never-ending process, and it's usually a couple years or at least a year of his time, whereas you come in as an actor, you're on the film the duration of the shooting of the film, not the pre-production and the post-production of the film, which a director is involved in. So it's a totally different world. But I love both, and it's much harder for me to get a job as a director than it is for me to get a job as an actor. I can work all the time as an actor… As a director…you know, "You're as good as your last movie" is still appropriate, you know, unfortunately. So my last movie as a director was not a successful film.
Charlie Rose: And your last movie as an actor was brilliant.
Dennis Hopper: A big success. Big success.
The acting performance being referenced was his energetic appearance as a crafty bomber in Jan DeBont's Speed. The directorial outing being referenced was what turned out to be his final feature directing credit, Chasers.
Amidst a body of work that can hardly be called conventional, Chasers has always stood out as the odd entry in Hopper's resume, precisely because its light-hearted storyline is in direct contrast with his more ambitious films. As such, it has been mostly described with that most damning of film scholar terms, as a "paycheck" job. The circumstances certainly feed the narrative. Hopper's previous directing project in 1990, The Hot Spot, had been beset by the underwhelming public support of stars Don Johnson and Virginia Madsen, and the money woes of Orion Pictures hampering its release and promotion. Mini-studio Morgan Creek, generally known for moderately-budgeted fare with occasional event projects like Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, had produced Tony Scott's True Romance, which featured a well-reviewed performance by Hopper, and likely used the occasion to pitch the $15 million Chasers package to him.
In a 1996 interview with San Francisco Chronicle writer Mick LaSalle, Hopper described the peculiarity of seeming more desirable for hiring if he not only had mixed feelings about the material he was provided, but openly said so. "You know, if you say, 'I found this script, I don't really like it, it needs a rewrite,' you might get a deal. But if you come in and say you love it, they say, 'Uh-oh. He loves it.'" This may well be an apt approximation of his dealings with Morgan Creek that led to making the film. And there are many elements within the finished story that a student of his work would see as familiar territory.
Multiple reviews have pointed out its blatant similarities to Hal Ashby's 1973 The Last Detail with Jack Nicholson, particularly in that both films involve their Naval protagonists' dislike of onerous regulations and machismo, their rivalry with the even more rules-and-bravado demeanor of the Marines, and their disenchantment with the harsh sentence to be imposed on their prisoner. One scene, in which Tom Berenger's character gets into a fight with a BBQ restaurant's mascot over menu items, carries memories of another Nicholson moment, his immortal "Hold the chicken between your knees" exchange in Five Easy Pieces from 1970. For that matter, there is also common ground with Franco Amurri's 1990 comedy Flashback written by David Loughery, which starred Hopper as an Abbie Hoffman-esque radical prankster apprehended by the FBI after decades of hiding, who creates trouble for the young agent attempting to escort him to trial, in the same manner the female prisoner repeatedly tries to escape her guardians. Furthermore, consider the tension between a sassy rookie and a hardened elder (Colors), long distance travel (Backtrack), references to broken families (Out of the Blue), and giving in to impulses that backfire (The Hot Spot), and in effect, the script is almost a mediation on Hopper's entire post-sobriety creative output.
How much thematic detail can be attributed to the screenplay as conceived by the team of Joe Batteer & John Rice and Nightcrawler creator Dan Gilroy, and how much can be credited to Hopper can be debated. For example, the irony of taking a prisoner to an eight-year sentence on Independence Day was likely a political point made by the writers, but Hopper as a lifelong collector of paintings is surely responsible for naming a supporting character after acclaimed naive artist Howard Finster. The extended cameos by close friends Seymour Cassel, Dean Stockwell, Frederic Forrest, and jazz singer Bob Dorough are definitely his doing. More importantly, select visual cues suggest that the director definitely injected detail personal to his spirit.
As noted in an essay by Senses of Cinema writer Joanna Elena Batsakis, Hopper had stated in 1994, "From 1961 onwards I carried my camera everywhere. All my friends teased me about being a tourist." Batakis uses this "tourism" concept to analyze his entire body of films, and Chasers stands as a most literal version of that. Multiple shots of highway markers, family-owned restaurants, and other tourist traps are given a lengthy amount of screen time, to offer retort to the no-frills business the escorts are expected to conduct on their way to the prison, to say look at all the simple pleasures being passed over in the name of duty. Consequently, the film and the characters truly open up once they are in those leisure environments.
The past also hovers over the proceedings: the Shore Patrol travel in an outdated van; Eleniak attempts to escape in an AMC Pacer, then hitchhikes using the leg strategy from It Happened One Night; old battered TVs pop up showing all manner of old movies – Japanese monsters, gladiators, cowboys, WWII drama – that by 1994 had fallen out of favor. And in a climactic fight between McNamara and Berenger at a putt-putt golf course, they slug it out in front of a grandfather clock (time), a little red school house (education), a ghost (history), and a totem pole (religion, blind allegiance to higher powers), the implication being these men are not just working out their own differences, but also their rage against forces that dominate their lives. In a quietly subversive manner, Hopper makes his argument that for all the changes since his '70s heyday, the same institutions dominate and the urge for rebellion remains.
As another anomaly to Hopper's legend, Chasers' filming is bereft of any sort of behind-the-scenes intrigue; it did not have the political blowback of Colors, the editing fights of Backtrack, or the movie-star-power-play antics of The Hot Spot. The most reported aspect of the production was that stars Erika Eleniak and William McNamara became romantically involved afterward, and in an October 2012 podcast interview with Eleniak which McNamera phoned into, the performers talked positively about the experience, describing their enjoyment of visiting the colorful North Carolina locations, but offering no further specific details. Archival and present-day interviews with Batteer & Rice or Gilroy almost never mention their involvement. Hopper himself rarely spoke about it at all; the closest he came to making a statement was in a 1996 follow-up interview with Charlie Rose, when just as he was about to address it, Rose derailed him with a question about his rumored friction with Jodie Foster on Backtrack, and no further conversation about it took place. While this earlier statement from his 1994 Rose interview was in specific reference to his involvement in the troubled and expensive production of Kevin Reynolds' sci-fi epic Waterworld, he could just as well have been speaking for him own film:
"You know, it's just as hard to make a bad movie as it is to make a good movie. It's just as much work, and like, you know, I wish I had some magic kind of formula that I could say, "Oh, this is going to be a great movie," but I, I can't really tell. I know that my work is really good, and the rushes and the dailies that I [see] is really good work. Now, how it all comes together and fits together and comes out, and how an audience perceives of it, that's another story that I don't have the answer to."
While the making of the film may have proved a generally pleasant affair, the release was much less so. With no advance screenings, promotion or media support, Warner Bros. effectively gave Chasers a contractual obligation release on April 22, 1994. There were some fans – the Los Angeles Times' Kevin Thomas wrote, "There's a lot of screwball humor in Chasers' classically amoral plot, yet adding to the film's freshness is that visually it's an affectionate running commentary on the amusing tackiness of roadside Americana," and the Austin Chronicle's Robert Faires colorfully opined, "[Doggone] it, everybody looks to be havin' a big time, and it's easy to [go] along for the ride. Berenger does Warren Oates, sporting a puss like he got a whiff of rancid cat and growling lines like he's gargling ball bearings…as it ended, I could swear I heard Sam Peckinpah's ghost chuckling away." But overall, reviews were mostly harsh – Entertainment Weekly rated the movie a D+, while curiously, in a separate column, its soundtrack album of modern country hits was given an A-. The film grossed just over $1.5 million in national release, just slightly more than The Hot Spot's $1.2 million in select cities.
To indulge one last bit of deep interpretive diving: As designer Michael Rock once said, Every Film Is About Filmmaking, and the entirety of Hopper's directorial career can definitely be read as mediations on that process from various stages of his life, from the blatant obviousness of The Last Movie to the initial inscrutability of Backtrack. In Chasers then, Hopper uses the familiar Ashby-esque storyline to dwell on an if-I-knew-then reverie. McNamara is young Hopper – handsome, charming, reckless, pulling a profitable scam on a deep-pocketed employer, only to lose it to an associate whom he did not fully involve in the process, and now facing a future with no foundation underneath. Berenger is old Hopper – worn, tired, wearily playing along with the rules and taking abuse from those in power, staying in an organization he's lost interest in because he's lost domestic opportunities. Eleniak represents a screenplay, a movie project, something that the bosses tell them is a simple job to execute and finish. Both sides of Hopper recognize there's more to the story, and that the men in power so blind in their perceived rightness would ruin it, but can't agree how to deal with it, and periodically, the story gets away from them. And only by looking at their own failures, and recognizing each other's strengths, can they not only hold onto the story, but give it the ending it deserves. And for the real Hopper's cameo appearance, he stands in for those guys who try to get in on a good looking project in the hope of getting material gain or pleasure for themselves, and deservedly get left behind quickly.
Hopper continued to seek out and initiate directing projects for himself into the last years of his life. But as he entered the noughts, his belief in that likelihood grew shakier. During a press junket for Land of the Dead, he wavered between hope and resignation, observing about his creative drought, "It was unfortunate as I was – am – a really talented director. I should have been allowed to make more films. Hopefully, during my three months off next year, I'll direct one," but then ruefully summarizing, "I bullshitted everybody, told them all the dreams, all the things I was going to do. Now I'm a total failure. I was full of shit and that's the end of it."
To borrow the words of one of his controversial commercials for Ameriprise, "See, the thing about dreams is, they don't retire."
The Last Detail was widely acclaimed for the fact that it did not have a happy ending. How could it? It's primary message was that people are only comfortable with so much rebellion before they yield to power to preserve themselves. That was the right message for the '70s, and Hopper lived it the hard way. In 1994, Hopper likely knew that on a large philosophical level that was still the truth, but on a personal level, it was time to enjoy a happy ending, and depict a couple of guys bucking that system, symbolically get one last shot over the bow against those he could not appease for years by taking their scraps and making a good meal out of it. The solution is first uttered by young Hopper, but as he loses his way and gets unconstructively headstrong, the elder Hopper, who bears the scars of lost fights, reminds him of his own words: "Use the back door."
Chasers should not have been the finish of Hopper's directing career. But for a life known for fights and excess and premature death and redemption, remembering that the last time he sat in control yelling action, it was among harmonious people and close friends and sun and good food, maybe it was a happy enough memory to wrap on.

TV Shows To Binge On This Summer
It's been boiling hot over much of the country this week. Would never suggest you go outside in this kind of weather, so we reached out to a few TV critics to see what they'd recommend to keep you inside binge watching. Maureen Ryan is a TV critic for Variety. She joins us from Chicago. Thanks so much for being with us.
MAUREEN RYAN: Thank you so much, Scott.
SIMON: Speaking of places that are hot or at least on their way to being hot, tell us about the show set in a town called Purgatory.
RYAN: Yes. I am in the mode where I really enjoy lighter fare in the summer but light fare that I think has emotional and psychological and thematic resonance. So I really like a show on Sci Fi called "Wynonna Earp." And it's a crazy premise, but imagine that "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" had a little bit of a western vibe.
There's a woman who has this - she's the heir of Wyatt Earp. She's the direct descendant of him. And he had a special gun, apparently. And she uses that special gun to send demons back to hell in this town called Purgatory, where the demons are kind of like - it's like a hellmouth, if you will.
DIEGO DIABLO DEL MAR: (As Malcolm Ramaker) Ah, one more step and little sister takes a short drop into oblivion.
MELANIE SCROFANO: (As Wynonna Earp) You got a name, revenant?
DEL MAR: (As Malcolm Ramaker) Well, back in your great-great-grandpappy's day, I was known as Malcolm Ramaker, entrepreneur.
SCROFANO: (As Wynonna Earp) An outlaw.
DEL MAR: (As Malcolm Ramaker) You know, I remember the exact moment in 1866 when Wyatt Earp had me hung for murdering my business partner.
SCROFANO: (As Wynnona Earp) Yeah, and now you're back.
DEL MAR: (As Malcolm Ramaker) Yes. You see, when the Earp heir turns 27, those of us killed by the last one, well, we resurrect a little more demonic than the time before. But one way or the other, we all end up in Purgatory.
RYAN: And I think it's one of those shows that in the first year, I think it wobbled a little bit in terms of the tone. Like, was it horror? Was it supernatural? Was it a jokey-comedy kind of show? But it's in its second season now. And it's really locked into what it is and what it can do. And it's one of those shows that I really just enjoy. Like, there are shows I watch for work and there are shows that I watch for pleasure. And on a Friday or Saturday night, if I have one of these episodes, I just have a big smile on my face. And I enjoy watching it.
SIMON: And I want to get you to talk about a show that's been getting some good attention, "Insecure." This is a half-hour comedy series on HBO created by Issa Rae and Larry Wilmore. I've seen a little of it. It's hilarious, touching and often quite pointed.
RYAN: This is a show that I think would resonate with a lot of people. It's really about that period in your late 20s, early 30s, where, you know, people are starting to wonder, should I settle down? Am I just settling down with this person because this is the time for me to do that? Do I really want to? What do I really want?
And Issa Rae is just such a ball of energy. And she's so winning and has so many wonderful modes that she can take you through from feeling awkward to empowered to being frustrated at work, you know? There are so many different things that the show kind of goes through - this kaleidoscope - within each half hour. But it's all very grounded in the everyday experiences of a very believable woman.
ISSA RAE: (As Issa Dee) OK. Since you guys are so interested in my personal life, here it is. I'm 28 - actually, 29 because today is my birthday. I came from a great family. I have a college degree. I work in the nonprofit world because I like to give back. I've been with my boyfriend for five years. And I did this to my hair on purpose. So I hope that covers everything.
RYAN: And you're always rooting for her, which I think is a really tough thing to do. It's much tougher than it looks to create characters that even when they're making bad decisions, you still kind of are in their corner. And I have to say that the woman who plays Issa's best friend, Molly, Yvonne Orji, she's fantastic. You know, they have a bond that I think is incredibly important.
And I guess maybe a little bit of the thread that unites these two shows is sort of the friendships of women and the bonds of women. In "Wynonna Earp," there is - her sister is her best friend. And there is a number of relationships like that in the show.
SIMON: Is it superficial? I've read some critics who refer to "Insecure" as kind of an African-American woman's version of "Sex And The City."
RYAN: Well, you know, first of all, I really liked "Sex And The City" a lot. I don't think it was a perfect show. But, yeah, I don't...
SIMON: And the friendship between women was, I think, the real nice part of that series.
RYAN: That go to some darker places, you know? It's emotionally tough. I mean, both women are dealing with white coworkers who sometimes are obtuse. And they deal with a lot of complex things in their lives that they don't quite have the answer to. And I mean, one of my big things as a critic - and if I can just climb up on my soapbox for a minute - is that I don't actually think it's any easier to create, say, a half-hour show that is examining friendship and commitment and love and all that kind of thing than it is to create an hour-long show that is just sort of exploring, like, grim, dark, depressing topics, you know?
I think there's a nimbleness to "Insecure" that's really impressive. And I think that the fact that it's not in your face with social issues and things like that and it's not hitting you over the head with its themes, I think it's a plus in my book. It's not a bug but a feature.
SIMON: Maureen Ryan, TV critic for Variety, thanks so much for being back with us.
RYAN: It's my pleasure. Thank you.

Prominent Catholic scholar of Renaissance literature Anthony Esolen is under attack for daring to talk openly about the teachings of the Catholic faith.
The orthodox professor at the Dominican-led Providence College in Rhode Island is the author of many books, including a translation of Dante's Divine Comedy.
Esolen recently penned two articles at Crisis magazine, the first in which he laments that his school – like many – has "succumbed to the totalitarian diversity cult."
Esolen observes that the "celebrate diversity" culture crowd is "at odds with…the diversity of male and female to be resolved most dynamically and creatively in the union of man and woman in marriage."
In a second piece, the scholar asserts that Catholics are facing a "relentless institutional persecution," and asks his readers to consider how they will prepare for the onslaught when it comes to them.
Rod Dreher interviewed Esolen at the American Conservative where the scholar recounted what happened after his pieces were published.
"Naturally, some students and faculty on Esolen's campus were so outraged by his suggestion that 'diversity' as they understand it is misguided and destructive that they have commenced a campaign to punish him, perhaps even to fire him," writes Dreher, observing that Esolen is now facing his own persecution.
Esolen explained to Dreher the students at his school "accused me of racism" and were angry that he suggested "there was something totalitarian in the impulse of the secular left, to attempt to subject our curriculum to the demands of a current political aim."
Yet, Esolen said his quarrel was not with students, but rather with "anti-Catholic professors and their attempts to hurt or to stifle my colleagues."
The professor continued that even though he invited students to meet with him to discuss what it's like to be a minority student at Providence, "I have received NO phone calls and NO e-mails from any students; and yet word has spread around campus, possibly originating from the administration itself, that I have 'blown off' the students, when exactly the reverse is true, and if anybody has been 'blown off,' it has been me."
Esolen continued that students demanded a "response" from the school's president, Father Brian Shanley, with some insisting he be fired. After meeting with the students, Shanley sent a letter to all faculty, staff, and both undergraduate and graduate students. The letter reads in part:
After dialoging with the students, I believe it is imperative for me to respond to their concerns.
Universities are places where ideas are supposed to be brought into conflict and questioned, so let us robustly debate the meaning of "diversity." But we must also remember that words have an impact on those who hear or read them. When a professor questions the value of diversity, the impact on many students, faculty, and staff of color is to feel that their presence is not valued and that they are not welcome at Providence College. I have heard from many students about the pain that this causes. When student activists are described as "narcissists," they understandably feel demeaned and dismissed. We need to be able to disagree with each other's ideas without attaching labels to them or imputing motives that we cannot know.
Our Catholic mission at Providence College calls us to embrace people from diverse backgrounds and cultures as a mirror of the universal Church and to seek the unity of that Body in the universal love of Christ. Pope Francis has likened this communion to the weaving of a blanket, "woven with patience and perseverance, one which gradually draws together stitches to make a more extensive and rich cover." He reminds us as well that what we seek is not "unanimity, but true unity in the richness of diversity." Finally, Francis reminds us that "plurality of thought and individuality reflect the manifold wisdom of God when we draw nearer to truth with intellectual honesty and rigor, when we draw near to goodness, when we draw near to beauty, in such a way that everyone can be a gift for the benefit of others." Amen.
Writing also at Crisis, American Principles Project education director Emmett McGroarty and senior fellow Jane Robbins observed:
Sadly, Fr. Shanley followed the template of invertebrate college administrators everywhere: He weakly defended Esolen's academic freedom but—and there's always a "but"—rebuked him for causing "pain" to the protesting students. Shanley then suggested that Esolen's truth-telling had violated "our fundamental imperative on a Catholic campus: to be charitable to one another."
On its website, Providence College answers the question what it means to be "Catholic":
On the one hand, it means that one is a member of the Catholic Church, believes what the Church teaches, and does what Catholics do. On the other hand, to be catholic — and here the lowercase is intentional — is to be open, tolerant, and universal in one's interests and sympathies. Both definitions are right and both apply to Providence College. But the most radical sense of being Catholic is to view the created world as a sacrament of the divine, that is, as something that both points to and makes present God's saving grace.
Esolen told Dreher that, after being singled out by Shanley, the school's president met with faculty where the scholar was reviled further, with several of Esolen's colleagues defending his right to express his views.
"When the president said that he believed that he had to act 'for pastoral reasons,' they replied that it was a strange form of pastoral care that pits every member of a community against one," Esolen said, adding that a petition or "resolution" was then circulated among faculty, stating that academic freedom must be "exercised responsibly." The resolution, he said, denounced "racist, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic, and religiously chauvinistic" articles such as his.
Esolen's essay on diversity "rests on a central teaching of Christianity: 'God created man in his own image, in the image of God he create him, male and female he created them' (Gen. 1:27)," note McGroarty and Robbins, adding:
Esolen's offense seems to lie in his taking this teaching seriously. As his essay makes clear, he sees an individual first and foremost not as a member of a group, but as a human person created in the image of God. Esolen also notes the paradox that the campus diversity movement results in enforced sameness, not the true diversity of the Church—"a political movement which is, for all its talk, a push for homogeneity, so that all the world will look not like the many-cultured Church, but rather like the monotone non-culture of western cities that have lost their faith in the transcendent and unifying God."
Esolen himself has a message for Christian parents sending their children off to college:
Christian parents — please do not suppose that your child will retain his or her faith after four years of battering at a secular college. Oh, many do — and many colleges have Christian groups that are terrific. But understand that it is going to be a dark time; and that everything on campus will be inimical to the faith, from the blockheaded assumptions of their professors, to the hook-ups, to the ignorance of their fellow students and their unconscious but massive bigotry. Be advised.
Esolen was also one of some 130 Catholic scholars who signed onto a letter to the United States Catholic bishops in 2013, urging them to abandon any implementation of the Common Core standards in their dioceses.
"Common Core shortchanges the central goals of all sound education and surely those of Catholic education: to grow in the virtues necessary to know, love, and serve the Lord, to mature into a responsible, flourishing adult, and to contribute as a citizen to the process of responsible democratic self-government," that letter read.

You know, I really thought it was just a funny metaphor. I mean, writers have weird sleeping patterns, dazed looks about them, and sometimes bloodshot eyes. We never have any money because we're always feeding our habit. But then I looked up drug abuse signs… And that's when it got funny serious…
- Breath smells of Alcohol
- Eyes unusually bright
- Illogical talk
- Sleeps late
- Appears drunk
- Slurred speech
- Stumbling gate
- Droopy eyes
- Grouchiness
- Blank stare
- Erratic behavior
- Where I found the signs…
That describes me to the letter when I'm working hardcore on my writing. Or even just as a graduate student.
So this leaves me with a question… Do I need rehab?

Digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI), otherwise known as thermography, can be an important tool for the early detection of diseases and infections, including cancer. At Integrative Health Associates in Greenville, South Carolina, the providers offer preventive health care services, including thermography, to help you take a proactive approach to your health and wellness. As part of their comprehensive medical services, the practice also specializes in integrative and chiropractic medicine. Thermography is yet another method they use to accurately diagnose a variety of health conditions so they can treat them effectively. Call or schedule online to learn about available thermography exams.
Thermography is a type of test the measures patterns of heat and blood flow in a particular area of your body. It's a diagnostic technique that allows your provider to see changes in temperature that may indicate abnormal activity in an area. Typically, thermography is helpful for women as part of their routine breast cancer screening.
Thermography uses an infrared camera to detect heat patterns and blood flow in your tissues. DITI reveals temperature differences on the surface of your breasts to help indicate areas of abnormal cell growth like cancer. The science behind thermography is that as cancer cells multiply, they need more oxygen-rich blood to grow.
As the blood flow increases in a specific area, such as a tumor, the temperature around it increases as well. This elevated temperature shows up as areas of heat on the thermography test, so your provider can further examine the cause of these irregularities.
Women who get a yearly mammogram may be concerned about additional radiation and the painful experience of compressing breast tissue. With thermography, you experience neither of these. DITI does not put you at risk of radiation nor does it flatten your breast tissue, so it's a comfortable, easy procedure that can be used in conjunction with other diagnostic testing procedures.
Other advantages of thermography include:
Thermography can provide vital information regarding the health of your breasts, upper body, full body, or other particular areas of interest.
For women, in addition to being part of your yearly breast exam routine, and for men, as part of diagnostic testing, a thermography exam may can be a useful part of your treatment plan. If at any time your provider at Integrative Health Associates wishes to further examine an area of your body that may be causing pain or if there is reason to believe you may have a developing health condition, they may recommend a thermography exam. Reasons why you may need an exam include:
To learn more about thermography testing and DITI, call the office or schedule a consultation online.

Trends in the consumer drone world have been pushing the limits of what the technology is capable of, with a heavy emphasis on photography, portability, flight time, and an immersive First-Person-View (FPV) experience. Hot on the heels of the advancements in VR, major drone manufacturers are quick to jump on the trend and produce innovative solutions that enhance the piloting experience more than ever before.
One such brands is Parrot, a French drone company that is known for blazing a trail with their unique design, tested here on their latest Bebop Power 2 – Pack FPV. Parrot comes without an external gimbal and attempts to deliver an out-of-the-box solution that checks all the boxes. But is there room in this competitive space for a fixed-camera FPV drone?
What is an FPV Drone?
While all quadcopters with a camera where the feed is used to pilot are technically "First-Person View", there is a little more to it than that. An FPV drone is one that accompanies a set of special goggles that the pilot wears to maneuver the drone. These goggles receive the video feed that is broadcast from the drone, and display the imagery directly into the eyes of the pilot. This means that the pilot is only seeing what the aircraft sees, with a completely immersive experience.
FPV piloting is most popular in drone racing, where the operators must be fully embedded into the aircraft's environment in order to complete tight maneuvering patterns at high speeds.
The Parrot Design
The most noticeable design element is the cyclopean camera mounted on the front of the drone, which is fixed inside the body of the quadcopter. The front nose cone of the Bebop 2 Power is a hard Styrofoam, which is an interesting choice. However, the overall weight is a mere 1.15lbs which is quite impressive and validates the use of the material.
The Bebop 2 Power (not to be confused with the Bebop 2) is really very quiet in flight, much less noisy than most other drones I have flown, and not at all disruptive to others nearby.
Parrot decided to go with an internal media storage design instead of the traditional MicroSD card practice, which I'll admit seems to be an odd choice. The storage capacity is roughly 8GB total, with slightly less than that available for actual use. For a photography drone, this doesn't give much room to capture footage, especially if a computer is needed to offload the media to free up space.
For a transmitter Parrot used the Skycontroller 2 with this new model, which is again quite lightweight. I can see a trend here with this iteration of the Bebop. While the design looks a bit strange at first, it functioned well and was easy to transport.
Bebop 2 Power Pack FPV Specs
- 14MP camera, F2.3
- 3-axis digital image stabilization
- 30 min flight time
- 2km (1.2mi) range
- 720p live feed
- 65 km/hr (40.38mph)in sport mode
- Can resist winds up to 60 km/hr
- FPV goggles that act like a Samsung Gear VR or Google's Daydream, holding the phone in front of lenses. The goggles don't have any control aspect on them for the drone per say, moreover turning the viewing into an immersive experience.
- Note: the FPV Pack includes two batteries, however the Xtreme Adventurer comes with 3 batteries and a backpack for transportation.
A Photography Drone without a Gimbal?
When one thinks of photography drones, a few things pop into mind. Namely, the outboard camera hanging below the fuselage, which can take a variety of shapes depending on the manufacturer. But look at the Bebop Power 2 (or any drone from Parrot for that matter), and there is none of this sort to be found.
Photo quality
The nose-cone 14MP camera can either take DNG RAW photos, 13MP regular JPG photos, or 180° fish eye images. The quality overall looks pretty good, and pilots can adjust the different levels like white balance, exposure, and contrast to fine tune the camera imagery. In overcast or dusk settings there may be some graininess that presents itself, which can be removed with some slight edits.
Video quality
The 1080p video feed is clear, colors are organic and vibrant, and there isn't any lag in motion capture. Despite not having an external gimbal, the camera can be pitched upwards or downwards, which kind of surprised me to be honest. I was expecting that having no external camera mechanism would preclude control of this, but it is a pleasant surprise.
When the drone is at a hover, or slowly moving in one direction the feed is smooth. When in normal flight however, there are definite vibrations the appear in the footage from changes in speed, direction, or elevation. This is due to the fact that the camera (while able to stabilize digitally) doesn't have the insulation from motor vibration like a detached gimbal does.
This is rather unfortunate, and while the actual image quality is not suffering from any side effects of Digital Image Stabilization, this is inherently one of the issues that can come with non-mechanical formats.
Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) vs a Mechanical Gimbal
While the Bebop boasts 3-axis image stabilization, there are some differences between this and the more popular external mechanical 3-axis gimbal. Digital Image Stabilization essentially crops the image and uses an algorithm to remove the shaking. This is preferred when weight or space conservation is a focus, however most photography drones with mechanical stabilization also have some element of DIS as well.
The downside to this is that the overall resolution is diminished, and there may be artifacts like the Jello Effect, which produces wave-like ripples through the image. It should be noted that the Bebop 2 Power did not exhibit any signs of jello, which is definitely a good thing.
Mechanical gimbals shift the camera lens physically in response to the movements from the drone, which preserves the resolution and quality of the image, while removing the shaking or image tilt. Of course with the added mechanics the weight and cost of the rig often go up.
There are a few more details to note when doing a dive into the comparison between Digital Image Stabilization vs. brushless gimbal in drone applications.
FPV and Flight Modes
The quad comes out of the box with some fun basic flight customization tools, such as switching from either Film to Sport modes. The two are quite different, and while the Film mode tamps down on the sensitivity of controls in order to make a smooth and fluid film platform, the Sport mode is all about speed. Characteristics like the maximum tilt (angle), tilt speed, vertical speed, and rotational speed are all customizable outside the preset values.
The flight times I got was just about the 30 minutes Parrot reports, a little less since I was switching directions frequently, flying in a slight breeze, and using the Sport mode intermittently. To really maximize the potential of the drone the app is where all the potential really comes to life.
FPV Flight
When switching to FPV drone flight, pilots simply slide the phone into the goggles, make the proper fitment adjustments, and can take to the skies seeing a bird's eye view from the camera. One thing that was really impressive to me is the ability to toggle between Immersive View to see what the drone sees, and Direct View to see through the smartphone camera. This is critical in drone flight, because unlike a VR gaming experience where you are indoors, walking around outside without vision of the ground can be dangerous.
There are a few display modes to choose from when using the FPV piloting mode:
- Radar: Displays information on the position of the drone
- Telemetry: Distance between the user and the drone is shown, as well as the altitude and other data points
- Full screen: No other information from the drone, only the camera feed is shown
Telemetry data appears on the FPV goggles in a 1990's-esque green digital font, displayed front and center. In all modes Return to Home is available and works well, placing the Parrot a few feet from the initial launch point. Another feature that could be quite useful is the Find my Drone function, which pairs an audible alarm with GPS location on a map to help pilots find their downed aircraft in the event of an emergency landing.
The FPV drone experience with the Bebop 2 Power as overall pretty good. While it was not nearly as advanced as other drone FPV options on the market, for the price it provided a good option without doubling the cost of the drone itself.
Flight Plan
- Autopilot: This feature is at the heart of the Flight Plan capabilities, allowing pilots to design a pre-designated flight pattern for the drone before takeoff.
- Gradual turn: With this function, the drone will gradually turn at a predetermined angle, based on the point chosen during the pre-flight mapping process. This seems like a slick function, since the angle is customizable pilots can really dial in their shots based on the landscape or stationary subject.
- Points of Interest & Chronological View: Saves videos and lists specific locations for color-coded flight mapping. Chronological View basically lays out all the different flight actions on a timeline, so pilots can program specific actions at the desired time in a precise way.
Interestingly enough, the features available in the Flight Plan are all really designed for taking the normal flight controls out of the picture, making it more of an FPV "ride along" experience. The other thing that this is very useful for is creating quality footage of an area, eliminating abrupt changes in direction, camera movement, or inconsistencies that would diminish the overall cinematic effect.
The one thing that I not care much for is the fact that the FreeFlight Pro app charges $20 in order to use any of these really awesome features from the Flight Plan feature. It seems odd to me that while being named "FreeFlight Pro" the app has this in-app purchase required to access the full functionality.
Follow Me GPS & Visual Tracking
Another section of the Parrot app that enables advanced features is the Follow Me suite of shooting styles.
Auto Tracking
This feature allows pilots to select a subject in the drone's field of view, and follow its movements. This worked pretty well from walking through running, and kept a consistent distance between the drone and myself during testing.
Auto Framing
Out of the box, the Parrot app allows pilots to use a trial version of the Follow Me suite of features with the Auto Framing function. This keeps the subject in frame, pivoting the drone on the yaw axis.
It works pretty well, and it kept me in frame whether I walked or ran about, even about 20 yards from me. I was able to shake the locking system by putting some tree cover between myself and the quadcopter a few times. When the direct line of sight is broken, the drone either would return to the previous point where the subject was in frame or float around laterally searching for me.
Auto Shots
This feature enables a few of the cinematic shots that have become popular in drone filming:
- Epic: This shot is where the drone gains altitude rapidly, while flying backwards and pulling out from the initial location.
- Reveal: The most popular aerial cinematic effect, where the drone flies forward and pans the camera gradually up from the ground to the horizon as it does so.
- Rise: This feature sends the drone straight up into the air, while pulling the camera upwards from the 90° position as it does.
- 360: This is a feature where the drone completes a 360° orbit, either in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction (depending on which direction is chosen). In use it works quite well, and maintains a level altitude during the process.
Magic Dronies
The main difference between the Auto Shots and the Magic Dronies is the subject in-frame. For the Dronies that is the pilot (or another subject) that can be locked onto, while the Auto Shots are designed to feature more of the landscape.
- Tornado: The Bebop 2 rises slowly, and gradually descends in a spiral pattern while keeping the pilot in-frame.
- Boomerang: The drone locks the camera on the pilot, flies 20 meters out, and returns to the original point of origin.
- Parabola: The Bebop 2 rises above the pilot, moves towards it, and descends to the starting elevation all while keeping the subject in frame. The quadcopter itself does essentially a 180° semi-circle around the pilot.
Is the Parrot Bebop 2 Power FPV the Real Deal?
I didn't really know what to expect when I first started into the Parrot experience. It looked a bit funky at first, but putting their newest quad through the paces I was actually quite surprised with some of the performance it put out. The camera is solid, and the digital image stabilization managed to do a reasonable job of producing quality footage albeit with some vibration at times. Granted, the quality of a mechanical gimbal will be better than DIS in my opinion, it will also run up the cost.
The Bebop 2 Power had some respectable pep in Sport mode, and the handling was downright snappy. As an FPV experience it performed better than many out there, with some thought to the usability. For someone looking to get a well-rounded drone that can produce legitimate images, double as a fun freestyle quad, and dive into the FPV experience (without spending a boatload), the Parrot Bebop 2 Power FPV is an awesome choice.

Some 79% of online daters agree that online dating is a good way to meet people, and 70% of them agree that it helps people find a better romantic match because they have access to a wide range of potential partners.
Some 42% of Americans know someone who has used online dating, up from 31% in 2005.
And 29% of Americans now know someone who met a spouse or other long-term partner through online dating, up from just 15% in 2005.
This question was asked of everyone in a marriage or other long-term partnership, including many whose relationships were initiated well before meeting online was an option.
One in every ten American adults has used an online dating site or a mobile dating app.We refer to these individuals throughout this report as "online daters," and we define them in the following way: Taken together, 11% of all American adults have done one or both of these activities and are classified as "online daters." In terms of demographics, online dating is most common among Americans in their mid-20's through mid-40's.Some 22% of 25-34 year olds and 17% of 35-44 year olds are online daters.People in nearly every major demographic group—old and young, men and women, urbanites and rural dwellers—are more likely to know someone who uses online dating (or met a long term partner through online dating) than was the case eight years ago.And this is especially true for those at the upper end of the socio-economic spectrum: Even as online daters have largely positive opinions of the process, many have had negative experiences using online dating.

Making good use of a medical student
GPs face confusion over the use of antiplatelet drugs following a review of the evidence that directly contradicts NICE recommendations.
The review, in Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, concluded the evidence to support combined dipyridamole and aspirin in patients with a history of stroke or TIA was 'not compelling', despite recent guidelines from NICE recommending use of the combination for two years after an event.
Instead, the DTB said GPs should prescribe aspirin 75mg/day with, if necessary, a proton pump inhibitor.
The DTB reviewers also concluded they were 'not convinced' that clopidogrel offered any advantage over aspirin in patients with a history of stroke except in patients with aspirin hypersensitivity.
DTB suggested adding a PPI was a better option.
Dr John Pittard, a cardiology GP in Staines, Middlesex, said he supported the DTB conclusions on dipyridamole.
But he was less supportive of the DTB clopidogrel advice.
'For general intolerance, which counts for about 15 per cent of patients, we can't worry about guidelines we have to worry about the best for the patient.'

Many World Stories Grant Writing Workshops are designed not only to help your own organization to raise money but to teach the basics of grant writing to everyone that has the compassion to help others... It provides a comprehensive overview of effective grant development techniques, including: finding best fit funding sources, creating innovative programs, and planning for funding sustainability. The workshop is great for any and everyone willing and ready to help others, for government, academic, research, health and non-profit professionals new to the grant writing world as well for professionals looking to expand their grant writing knowledge. The workshop will provide an intensive and interactive grant proposal development experience where you will learn the proposal writing process in its entirety. As an added bonus, you will be able to develop a draft proposal or have our instructor review one of your existing grant proposals.
The Zen of Proposal Writing
Preparing a successful written proposal requires an organized, systematic approach to effectively convey your story, generally in your own quiet space. This workshop provides a step-by-step writing process to deal with any and all application requirements. What's more, you will learn why proposal writing is much different than other kinds of writing.
You're World, Your Story; Strategic Program Planning
Planning a winning proposal requires developing ideas that are clear, significant and compelling. Your ideas must not only meet the criteria of a grant maker, but they must also demonstrate your in-depth knowledge about a grant maker.
Strategic Grant Research
Through interactive exercises, discussions, applicable research assignments and individual consultations, you will learn how to strategically identify appropriate funding agencies. This course will expose you to database applications, online research tools that contain information about multiple grant opportunities.
