Restylane, JUVÉDERM®, and injectable fillers
We feature Restylane Silk, Lyft, Defyne, Refyne, Belotero, JUVÉDERM® injectable gel, Volbella, Perlane, Radiesse, Sculptra, Voluma and Vollure. With so many filler options to choose from, you deserve the experience and the personal care by Drs. William Ting and Ingrid Freeny, board-certified dermatologists to customize the best solution specific to your personal needs. He often combines multiple fillers to achieve optimal cosmetic results. Some of the common requested areas for filler augmentation are listed below:
Nasolabial lines (nose-to-lip groove areas)
Marionette/Puppet lines (corners of mouth to chin)
Tear Trough (valleys underneath the eyelids)
Naturual Lip Augmentation
Forehead Frown Lines (combination of fillers and Botox used)
Cheek Augmentation
Depressed Scars (acne scar, chickenpox scar)
Hand Rejuvenation
Earlobe creases
Dr. Ting's Perspective of Volume Replenishment with Fillers and Description of FDA-Approved Fillers
Loss of facial volume is due to prior sun damage, smoking, acne scarring and genetic predispositions. The resultant static wrinkles are seen as valleys and divots, prominently displayed along lower half of the face such as our smile lines along nasolabial folds, tear trough areas beneath the lower eyelids (causing dark circles due to optical shadowing), and marionette lines around the corners of the mouth. These static wrinkles can be softened by replenishing the lost volume with fillers.
- Non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA) fillers such as Restylane Silk, Belotero or JUVÉDERM®, Volbella are versatile fillers for nasolabial folds, marionette lines around corners of the mouth, lip augmentation, vertical ridges along lips and tear troughs under the eyelids. These NASHAs typically last 4-9 months. Volbella is the latest filler for lip augmentation that has been shown to be least likely to cause swelling as what you see is typically what you get vs. other hyaluronic acid fillers where there can be slight potential 'let down' once the initial swelling subsides and the volume achieved may not be as impressive few weeks afterwards.
- Restylane Lyft (formerly known as Perlane), and JUVÉDERM® injectable gel Ultra Plus are also NASHAs of slightly thicker caliber and are useful for facial contouring and reverse aging appearance of photodamaged hands. These NASHAs may last 6-12 months.
- Restylane Defyne and Restylane Refyne are latest hyaluronic acid fillers approved by the FDA designed for dynamic areas around the mouth and cheeks. These fillers are designed to be stretchy and less likely to create ropey changes along places like nasolabial folds where there are static and dynamic forces in play.
- JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA approved by the FDA is the longest lasting NASHAs consist of much thicker caliber and cross-linking and are useful for cheek augmentation and facial contouring lasting 18-24months on average.
- Radiesse is a good option for individuals in need of cheek augmentation and/or more volume along nasolabial folds. Radiesse is made of calcium-based microspheres that are suspended in a natural gel and serves as a scaffold for further collagen production. Radiesse provides more volume than NASHAs and may last 9-18 months but has slightly greater potential for transient swelling and/or bruising.
- Evolence is a FDA-approved dermal filler made of highly purified type I collagen (however, it is no longer available in US as of 2012). Evolence is a true collagen-based filler cross-linked with sugar, mimicking the 3-dimensional structure of your skin's own collagen. This allows it to integrate beautifully and support your skin's own existing collagen network by adding structure, strength, and volume for a natural look and feel that last. Thus, Evolence is more amenable to molding with significantly less risks of swelling and bruising. This is arguably the most optimal filler for the nasolabial fold area before a special event with virtually little to no downtime. Although new to the US, Evolence has been used extensively in Canada, Europe, and Israel for several years with no report of allergic reaction, and thus no skin pre-test is needed. Evolence typically lasts 9-12 months.
- Sculptra is known as a stimulatory filler as poly-L-lactic acid stimulates your own collagen and replenish volume of your entire face in a way that no other fillers can achieve. When performed by an experienced clinician, Sculptra can achieve significant 'liquid' face lift.
- Voluma is among the largest sized moleculed hyaluronic acid filler designed to be placed right above bony structure, last 18-24 months to achieve cheek augmentation and instantly gratifying 'liquid face lift.
- Dr. Ting is constantly evaluating all of the new fillers available in Europe, Canada and abroad for Safety, Effectiveness, Duration and Side effects. Our pledge is to provide only FDA approved fillers that meet our high personal standards.
- Satisfaction with the final results in Filler procedures are absolutely dependant on the skill of the physician both from a technical as well as artistic point of view. Filler injections should be performed by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. We pride ourselves on working with you to provide the magic of subtle softness from our procedures without looking "overdone".
- Multi-pronged approach to minimize pain and bruising which will be explained in detail upon your consultation. While Dr. Ting cannot guarantee no bruising after filler injections, he will routinely make available courtesy VBeam Perfecta or Cutera Excel V laser treatments to dramatically and rapidly reduce signs of bruising or purpura.

What I'm reading
At YALC (see below! :D), I bought new books. :D So I started reading More Than This by Patrick Ness, and devoured it in less than a day. It's so gripping, and goes in directions I never expected (I'm pretty sure it defies genre). So. Good!
I finished Fearsome Dreamer by Laure Eve, which blends genres in a really interesting way.
I read We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, which I also got from YALC. Wow. o.O I'm still not sure what I thought, but it certainly gripped me hard (and gave me a book hangover!).
Now I'm reading Noble Conflict by Malorie Blackman.
What I'm writing
I spent most of last week in the editing/proofreading cave with my Darkworld books. Now I'm back in the editing cave again with my MG fantasy. Getting closer...
What inspires me
YA is definitely inspiring me this week, especially with the success of the UK's first YA Lit Con! It was sooooo awesome to see so many people who love YA in one place, and that the event was such a success - hopefully there'll be many more to come! ^_^
What else I've been up to
Well, on Saturday, I went down to London for the UK's first YA Lit Con! :D I met up with Cole, and also saw Laura and Sophie throughout the day. YALC took place within London Film & Comic Con, and it was PACKED - I've honestly never seen so many people in one place (and I've been to London Expos before!). But as I set out ridiculously early (which involved getting up at 5 a.m. o.O), Cole and I managed to get inside before the queues got totally insane...
And a bookshop, where I caved into temptation, as you can imagine...
...there were quite a few people there. Just a few. o.O
But it was amazing! :D Seeing so many people in one place who loved YA, meeting "our people", wandering around the Comic Con and spending money...
I also went to the two panels I was really excited for, the first of which was called Bring Me My Dragons, a discussion of contemporary fantasy with Ruth Warburton, Amy McCulloch, Frances Hardinge (who was absolutely hilarious), and Jonathan Stroud.
There was a really interesting discussion, first on the definition of YA, in which the panelists agreed that YA isn't just an age category - which is why you can, in some cases, have older/younger protagonists and still be classified as YA. Some adult books have teen protagonists, too, but YA books have a certain outlook. Jonathan Stroud said he writes books to appeal to all age groups, and that "young adult" is a grey area, seeing as so many people of different ages enjoy YA. Frances Hardinge writes "coming of age stories with revolutionary tendencies", and with a YA frame of mind and a readiness to question. Amy agreed that YA is a state of mind rather than an age category, and Ruth said that YA has a tendency to be more fearless and open than adult fiction.
There was also a brief discussion on violence in YA, and how YA deals with the same level of violence as adult books but in a more considered, thoughtful way.
Then they discussed the qualities of the hero in YA, and the panelists all had interesting things to say! Two things I picked up on were that YA heroes must have the capacity to change, and that they must be a kind of "everyman" (identifiable to the reader) but also have some special quality that makes them unique. Then they discussed villains and complexities, and how in middle-grade there seems to be more of a tendency to separate characters into good and evil. With YA, there's more opportunity to explore shades of grey and challenges from within the characters - for instance, in Amy McCulloch's novel The Oathbreaker's Shadow, the hero and villain start off as the best of friends. Thought-provoking stuff!
There was an open Q&A, and one person asked if the panelists had any tips for writing fantasy for young adults. The two main tips were to research the world thoroughly, and have a set of rules and stick to them!
Up next was the "Heroes of Horror" panel with Charlie Higson, Darren Shan, Will Hill and Derek Landy. Topics discussed included violence, and the panelists made a very good point that up until fairly recently, YA didn't exist and teen readers went from reading Roald Dahl to reading Stephen King. So YA caters for the "in between" stage, generally with the same level of violence as adult books but with a less bleak, cynical outlook. Having read Darren Shan's gripping Demonata series...yep, that's definitely gorier than many adult books I've read! Derek Landy talked about YA horror as a "gateway drug" to adult fiction.
My phone (which I was using to take notes) chose that moment to die a tragic death, so I didn't get as many notes as I'd have liked to, but I was thrilled to get my new copy of Noble Conflict by Malorie Blackman signed! I met the Children's Laureate and the genius who created this event! ^_^
And then it was time for the long journey home. With all these fabulous goodies!
Obviously, I had to buy a Toothless and a minion. :D
So that's it! I'm so happy the event was a success - go, UKYA! I'll absolutely be back next year - I'm hoping to stay for the whole weekend next time!

Pearl barley 'rainbow' salad with lime & ginger dressing
I've been reading my favourite cookbook again, The Rodale Whole Foods Cookbook, and it gave me a few ideas for pulse and grains combinations for the summer.
In the UK, it's mostly cooked in stews and soups. In France, there was a fad for instant barley salads in the 80s. Cooking barley can be time consuming; 1 hour and 15 minutes, but if you have a pressure cooker you're in for a great wholesome treat. The texture is fantastic in salads, and in this one, I've played with soft (butternut squash, lentils, barley) and crunchy (red pepper, spring onion, red cabbage). It's also a 'rainbow on a plate' kind of dish packed with proteins, vitamins and antioxidants.
Because lentils and barley are a bit bland, I've made a zesty, tangy and spicy dressing – fresh ginger, garlic, lime and lemon juice – to go with it.
A very refreshing and healthy dish for summer.
serves 4 people
preparation: 1 hour
- 200 gr. green lentils
- 200 gr. pearl barley
- 4 spring onions
- 2 red peppers
- half a butternut squash
- 1/4 of a red cabbage
- 6 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- 1 tsp. ground coriander
- 1 tsp. mild chilli powder
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 2 limes
- 1 lemon
- 1 tsp. brown
- Cook the green lentils. I use my pressure for stews but lentils tend to explode, so for salads I cook them traditionally, which takes 35-40 minutes.
- Cook the pearl barley in a pressure cooker.
- Dice and steam the butternut squash for 30 minutes.
- Leave lentils, barley and squash to cool down in a big salad dish and put in the fridge.
- Chop the spring onions. Grate the red cabbage. Dice the red pepper. Add to the barley-lentil-squash mix.
- Prepare the dressing: in a small bowl, put salt, sugar and spices. Add grated fresh ginger and finely chopped -or grated- garlic.
- Add the juice of the lemon and limes. Finally add the olive oil little by little and stir well.

"We welcome UNAMID strategic review and look forward to its full implementation"
UK Statement to the UN Security Council meeting on the ICC Report on Darfur
We thank Madame Bensouda for her report and her briefing today. In December last year we expressed our concern at the lack of progress since she last addressed the Council. It is extremely depressing that we must do so once again now.
First and foremost, that lack of progress is evidenced in the continued non-cooperation of the Government of Sudan with the ICC, and by its non-implementation of its obligations under resolution 1593, and subsequent resolutions on the situation in Darfur. This is of serious concern, and we call once again on the Government of Sudan to meet its obligations in this regard in full.
Mr President,
The Prosecutor's report refers to the "catastrophic humanitarian situation" in Darfur, and the continuing perpetration of serious crimes against civilians. We are deeply concerned by the increased violence this year, including a resurgence of activities by rebel groups and the activities of the Government's Rapid Support Forces, as well as the continuing inter-communal violence.
Civilians continue to pay the highest price, with hundreds of thousands of people newly displaced this year. The reports of sexual and gender-based violence are deeply disturbing, both in terms of the high number and of the particular brutality of the violence. We are also concerned by alleged crimes against human rights defenders, civil society members and community leaders, as well as humanitarian workers and United Nations peacekeepers.
The authorities' suspension of the activities of several humanitarian organisations will have an impact on civilians in dire need of assistance. We hope that the situation can be improved as quickly as possible.
Mr President,
We are deeply concerned by the active role that the Government's Rapid Support Forces are alleged to have played in the increased violence, including the looting and burning of villages. In addition, allegations of aerial bombardments by the Sudanese Armed Forces in rebel-held areas, harming civilian life and infrastructure, are extremely troubling. We also note with concern that the rebel forces have allegedly been involved in attacks on civilians.
All parties must stop such actions immediately, take steps to ensure the protection of civilians in Darfur, and grant unfettered and timely access to UNAMID and humanitarian workers. We welcome the ICC's continued monitoring of actions that could constitute crimes under the Rome Statute, and reiterate our firm wish to work with partners to ensure that the perpetrators of such crimes face justice.
The ICC States Parties must play their part too by fully implementing their obligations under the Rome Statute. We urge States to implement essential contact policies, in support of the Court and the Office of the Prosecutor. We note with concern that the Prosecutor's report raises questions over the implementation of the United Nations' policy on non-essential contact and urge the Secretariat to ensure full compliance with it.
We are also concerned by the allegations referred to in the Prosecutor's report, regarding UNAMID's handling of information about crimes committed against civilians and peacekeepers. It is of pivotal importance that the Mission keep the Council fully informed, and in detail, about developments on the ground. Only with this can the Council do its work most effectively. We encourage the Secretariat to look carefully into the allegations made.
Mr President,
We welcomed the strategic review of UNAMID in February this year, and look forward to its full implementation. We urge the Mission, the Secretariat, and UNAMID's Troop- and Police-Contributing Countries to continue to work together towards this goal.
Finally, we must do more to follow up on the referral to the ICC. It is a poor reflection on the Council that we have not been able to respond in substance to the many letters received from the Court notifying us of instances of non-cooperation.
Thank you, Mr President.

I'm a first-time mum to an amazing, funny and bold little fifteen month old boy. Becoming a mum was something I'd always dreamed of, but my journey to reach motherhood was a tough one. I experienced challenges with infertility and pregnancy loss, which too many women know too well. Every day I can honestly say that I look at my little guy and I'm thankful. Even on those tough days when I have no idea what to do, I know that I'm fortunate to be experiencing this chaos. I know motherhood will not be an easy ride, and sometimes it may push my limits, but I'm ready for this challenge. I have always been ready!
Nonetheless, there is one thing that still bugs me, since the day my son was born. I was warned by my other mummy friends, but I guess I never appreciated the impact it would have on me.
What is it you say? Getting my baby to sleep through the night? Dealing with ever-changing eating habits? Socialising? Managing the baby with high temps, flues and other ailments? Explosive nappies?
Nope it's none of the above…
It's the critics! You know them. You've probably dealt with several of them!
From the very beginning of my son's arrival I faced them. I had an elective C-section due to several risks that I won't go into right now. However, it must have been only a week after I returned home from hospital when I was asked: "Do you feel like you missed out on a real birth experience?"
What? I mean isn't holding your healthy baby for the first time the ultimate birthing experience? Also, what is a loaded question like that supposed to do to a mum who is not only learning to navigate motherhood for the first time, but is also recovering from major surgery, with hormones surging all over the place.
It doesn't stop there. Then there are the questions surrounding breastfeeding versus formula, or even mum versus dad responsibilities. Suddenly, you're not just learning to be a mum, you're also in constant defence mode as you try to excuse your way out of the social pressures and expectations that are being forced upon you.
As your baby develops you then start being questioned on his development stages. "Is he smiling yet?" "Is he crawling yet?" "Has he started walking?" "Is he playing Beethoven's fifth with his eyes closed?" It's a constant pressure, and whilst we know our babies all develop differently, naturally these start to conjure question marks around our baby's development.
Now, I'm facing that next dreaded question. "When are you going to give your little boy a sibling?"
My standard answer is that I'm 'One and Done'. Mostly because I don't know if I want to go through that struggle to conceive, the anxiety of a high-risk pregnancy, the risks of being a forty plus mother and more. As well as this, my little boy is perfect, and our family balance is just right. This may all change, but right now there is no deciding factor. But why do I really need to explain myself.
Regardless, the critics don't stop …
"Don't you feel selfish not even trying for a brother or sister for him?" Or, "What if he resents you when he's older?" Gee, thanks for the future guilt trip.
"The second pregnancy is always easier." Says who? Did you specialise in my fertility and gynaecological issues?
"What if he's lonely, or spoilt, or entitled, or selfish?" Thanks for the pep talk around my parenting skills.
The reality is that none of this is anyone else's business but mine and my husband's. However, it still stops me in my tracks, makes me question if I am making the right decisions for my family – and it shouldn't.
No one has the right to question or judge another if they have not walked in their shoes. We need to stand up for those mums out there, as many are already struggling with this amazing but challenging journey. To guilt them on top of that struggle is just plain unfair.
So to all the mum, mums-to-be, friends of mums, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and even those neighbours or strangers walking by, I say this: "Just but out! Give a mum a break. Instead of asking questions, why not congratulate her? This mum has grown a little human inside her belly. Every day that mum and her partner nurture that little human as best they possibly can, with the resources that they have. Give her a smile of encouragement, tell her she is doing a good job, and stop with the questions. She will proudly tell you everything about that little human you need to know. That's it. End of story. No further questions needed!

Introducing Woodwork in Early Years Education
Please note: Pete now has a dedicated education website with all the latest information: https://irresistible-learning.co.uk
Woodwork is a very special activity to introduce to young children and has the potential to make a profound impression. Woodwork is full of learning opportunities and is a very popular activity with children. Deep levels of engagement and intense concentration are common and the children often remain involved in their explorations for extended periods regularly in excess of an hour. I introduce the children to many activities in our nursery studio but working with wood has consistently impressed me by engaging the children in a profound way and by their sustained perseverance with challenging tasks. The learning outcomes have been remarkable. I would very much like to encourage you to consider introducing woodwork.
The workshop will look at ways in which woodworking can be safely introduced to pre-school nursery settings.
- We will look at the theory and how woodwork meets many learning and development aspects of the EYFS.
- We will look at examples from other countries that have been working successfully with wood for many years.
- We will talk about risk and safety issues.
- There will be explanations of the most suitable tools for young children and instruction on how best to use them. We will look at the most suitable woods. Information on potential suppliers of wood/ tools will be provided.
- Explanations on how to set up a woodworking area.
- Suggestions for activities, open-ended explorations and longer term projects
- Practical session for practitioners to explore the tools, gain confidence and share the experience of making creations in wood.
Pete Moorhouse has worked with young children in education for over 20 years and is the Artist in Residence at Filton Avenue Nursery School and Children's Centre in Bristol. He has spent the last five years researching woodwork in early year's education, collaborating with practitioners from Japan and the USA who engage children in woodwork, sharing experiences, best practice and evaluating learning outcomes.

Today I want to share one of my favorite places in San Diego. This is a place that has played a vital role in my development as a craft beer enthusiast. It's not a secret how much I love this place, so don't even think this is a review, it's a glowing endorsement of a place that people should check out immediately.
I am referring to Ritual Tavern.
Located on the northern end of the pinnacle of all beer corridors in town, 30th St, Ritual Tavern is a multifaceted bar, able to accommodate the craft beer crowd, the wine lovers and fans of good food. A hat trick for any who enjoy treating their taste buds.
When we moved back to San Diego four years ago, we were lucky enough to live two blocks off of 30th St and Ritual was the bar right on the corner. Our first visit there was something of an eye opening experience. I was keenly aware my craft beer knowledge was at a pretty amateur level, but I had no idea just how deep the pool I was jumping into was. I found the experience to be utterly fascinating and intoxicating…on multiple levels.
Mike and Stacey, the owners, are incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to describing the qualities of a beer to anyone who asks, and as they have gotten to know, my fiancee loves to ask questions. They are great people to get to know, and they take a lot of pride in what they do.
This is the place where I had my first Bear Republic, Duvel, Shipyard, Mission, Alesmith , and so many others that I don't even have a count. Every time we went it with a mission to keep trying new things and Ritual never disappointed with its constantly rotating selection of drafts and bottles.
Going here was a near weekly experience and probably one of the places I miss the most after we moved out of North Park. Our visits back have been sporadic at best, but that something that I'm working to rectify, especially since my most recent visits have really reminded me just how much I love it.
Walking inside still gives me the sense of walking into a place that knows it's beer. The whole place has a very cozy feel, and the hospitality that you get almost makes you feel like you are a guest at your long lost Bavarian Uncle's house. Steins line the ceiling and bottles line the back wall of the bar. When you're there at night, the lighting is low and adds to the cozy vibe. The only thing missing is a fireplace.
An aspect that I find personally appealing, most especially when I'm out with the fiancee, is the noise level in Ritual is at a level where we don't always need to shout at each other in order to have a conversation. Also, the crowd is of a friendly sort, always happy to strike up a conversation if you find you're drinking alone for a bit.
Probably the biggest addition to Ritual Tavern since we moved out of the neighborhood is the Beirgarten/Patio around back. It's a nice open area with tables, plenty of sunlight and a real good energy to it that I found conducive to drinking beer on a Saturday afternoon. My visit included such delightful beers as Socitete's Scrapper Dark Ale, Rough Draft's Emboozlement triple finished off with another from Societe, The Harlot. Three wonderful beers that I plan to talk about more in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
I've not eaten often when here, but when I have, the food has always very good. I appreciate the fact that they use chemical free ingredients and that the condiments are made in house. It's a great touch. In fact, the new brunch menu looked great so I'm thinking that another visit is right around the corner.
Also would like to note that Ritual participates in the Drink About San Diego – a free bus service that has 8 bar stops in South Park, North Park, Normal Heights and University Heights. Drink About is the 3rd Wednesday of every month.
So whether you feel like pulling up a chair at the bar for a draft, sitting on the patio with a glass of wine, or dining in the cozy atmosphere, Ritual Tavern is a place that is sure to take care of you and treat you well. It should be a destination for any beer or wine lover, no matter how discriminating your palate may be.
Ritual Tavern is located at 4095 30th St, San Diego CA 92108 – It's on the corner of 30th and Polk. Check out their website for upcoming events and other info.

Most foods are either acidic or alkaline. In "The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health," Dr. Christopher Vasey says that many of today's health problems are caused by a diet that is too acidic. The normal pH level of people's bodies is slightly alkaline (7.35 to 7.45), and because diet plays a fundamental role in sustaining a healthy pH balance, consuming plenty of alkaline-forming foods will help maintain good health.
Fresh Fruits
Alkaline diets put a lot of emphasis on fresh fruits and vegetables. The diet should consist of 80 per cent alkalising foods, according to Heart Spring, and plenty of water. Whether a food is acidic or alkaline-forming has nothing to do with the pH of the food itself. Lemons are very acidic but are also alkaline-forming because when digested they produce an end product that is very alkaline. Most fresh fruits are slightly acidic and should be eaten in moderation. Bananas, according to Heart Spring, are the only alkaline fresh fruit, and banana smoothies are very alkaline-forming.
Dried Fruits
Dried fruit tends to be more alkaline-forming with raisins, bananas, dates and naturally dried apricots being good choices. Dried fruits to avoid include sulphur-treated apricots, as they are very acidic.
Most vegetables are alkaline-forming with only a few considered acidic. Those that have a tendency to be acid-forming include eggplant and pickled vegetables. According to Wellness.com, raw vegetables are a good choice because they are generally alkaline in the body as well containing many vitamins and minerals. Potatoes, spinach, broccoli, green cabbage, sweet potatoes, peppers, zucchini and squash are all alkaline vegetables.
Fresh vegetable juices and green juices made from grasses, such as couch grass, are very alkaline. Wellness.com recommends chewing your fruit and vegetables well before swallowing to encourage the production of saliva, which is a very alkaline fluid.

Lenten Devotional 2018--Week 4
Grace we can live by
Monday 3/5
Read Ex. 20:1-17
There are three uses of the law according to our forebears in faith. The first use of the law is like a mirror. Sometimes we think because we are not "breaking the law," we are good and righteous. But when we engage it like a mirror, we can begin to see the ways in which we do not live by the law.
~How does your conscience help you decide between right and wrong?
~What convicts you of the error of your ways?
~Which of the 10 Commandments is most difficult in your life? Which is easiest?
Pray: Holy One, help me see more clearly the shortcomings in my life so that I may rely on you as my light and hope.
Tuesday 3/6
Read Ex. 20:1-17
Today consider how the law in this text acts as a curb or boundary marker. In what ways do you obey because "it's against the law?" How does punishment in general motivate you and specifically, in faith, how does fear about the consequences of breaking the law help you or hinder you in your spiritual growth?
Pray: Thank you, God, for using even my fear of suffering to guide me in your way like a light in the darkness.
Wednesday 3/7
Read Ps 19
In this Psalm we see a poetic understanding of a third use of the law. Here we recognize the gift of heaven on earth as we obey the law in gratitude for what God does in our lives. It is God who is using the law to encourage and push us to live a more godly life. In the words of John Calvin," The Law acts like a whip to the flesh, urging it on as men do a lazy sluggish ass. Even in the case of a spiritual man, inasmuch as he is still burdened with the weight of the flesh, the Law is a constant stimulus, pricking him forward when he would indulge in sloth."
Pray: Thank you, God, for offering me a vision of what I should not do. Thank you, God, for offering me a vision of what I must do. Thank you, God, that with the law I may begin to exemplify my trust in you by obeying your word.
Thursday 3/8
Read I Cor 1: 18-25
Paul introduces us to the realization that our human obedience and application of the Law tended to make us believe we in charge of our destiny. Humankind, by creating rules to live by, even using the rules God gives us, tends to drive us toward thinking we are wise in our own eyes. For believers to claim God's presence in a tried and executed criminal is to turn that thinking upside down.
Pray: Christ Jesus, if the law can kill even you, how can I escape the same sentence? Help me understand the foolishness of "wise," and the wisdom of your life as good news for me.
See you at worship in Loudermilk: Gospel at The Rock, 7:30 p.m.
Friday 3/9
Read John 2:13-22
What laws are the moneychangers breaking such that Jesus is infuriated with them? How do churches "buy and sell" the faith today? How much would you pay to know God loves you?
Pray: Christ Jesus, drive out the greed in my life.

Buying guide
British Gas have recently launched Hive Active Heating – a control that works like a programmable thermostat but can be controlled from anywhere using a smartphone app or a website.
An ordinary programmable thermostat is installed in your home and connected to your wi-fi. You are also given access to a website and an app. From these, you can:
- see the current temperature
- adjust the desired temperature
- set up temperature profiles for different times of day, and days of the week
- request alerts for when your home gets too hot or too cold
- control your hot water.
You can do this from inside your home or elsewhere. In theory, anyone who can use a computer or smartphone can get full use out of this product.
What do I need?
Technology: You will need to have wireless broadband in your home. You will also need a computer with internet access (for the website) or a smartphone or tablet (for the app).
Operating system: The website will work with most standard browsers, as long as you have the latest version. The app is compatible with Android version 2.3 and up, and iOS version 6 and up.
Accessibility software: The app and website are designed to work with accessibility software, such as magnifiers or screenreaders. However, our testers found some flaws in how they interact with screenreaders (see review). British Gas have told us they are working to improve on these issues in future versions. If you purchase the control and find that it doesn't work with your screenreader, there is a 14 day returns period.
Test results
Hive Active Heating (£199)
Note: We tested an earlier version of this product, the Remote Heating Control. It has since been updated and renamed. The functions are similar, but the layout has changed.
- Testers felt it could provide more control and independence than traditional products, because the information is intended to be accessible to all.
- However, some of the on-screen labelling had poor contrast and was difficult to align, particularly on the website. The new version has a different layout, but still appears to have these issues in some places.
- Users of screenreaders (on the website) and iOS' VoiceOver (on the iPad) found some tasks difficult or impossible to complete – there were problems with how on-screen items were labelled for the programs to read out.
Who is this suitable for? People who are comfortable using computers, smartphones or tablets and who want a lot of control over their heating.
Website score: 3 out of 5
iPad app score: 4 out of 5

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and two state attorney generals filed lawsuits against the country's largest student loan servicer Navient Wednesday, claiming it misled its borrowers in order to maximize profits.
To cut logistical costs and boost revenue, the education loan management company steered borrowers away from repayment plans that would have been more appropriate to their circumstances, the lawsuit alleges. The case, based upon three years of investigation, resonates with the experience of many student-loan borrowers and highlights the need for greater regulatory oversight, say observers.
"I'd say that the problems that were highlighted in this suit mirror the experiences that borrowers that I work with and stories that I hear from advocates in the field," Persis Yu, director of the Student Loan Borrower Assistance Project at the National Consumer Law Center tells The Christian Science Monitor. "We have been … pushing servicers and the Department of Education to deal with the fact that people have been in forbearance for years."
Citing Navient's allegedly illegal practices and its alleged violations of "trust that borrowers placed in the company," the lawsuit charges the company with a variety of misdeeds, including misrepresentation in cosigns and failing to enroll borrowers in affordable repayment plans.
"For years, Navient failed consumers who counted on the company to help give them a fair chance to pay back their student loans," CFPB Director Richard Cordray said in a statement. "At every stage of repayment, Navient chose to shortcut and deceive consumers to save on operating costs. Too many borrowers paid more for their loans because Navient illegally cheated them and today's action seeks to hold them accountable."
In one example, the agency accused Navient of mishandling the student loans for those with "total and permanent disability," including veterans who are unemployable because of injuries from their military service. According to the Department of Education, their federal loans should be discharged without impacting their credit reporting.
Yet, Navient allegedly failed to follow the instructions and, according to the suit, mistakenly reported thousands of disabled borrowers' charged-off loans as defaults, marring their credit reports that could potentially prevent them from obtaining mortgages and other loans.
Navient denies all wrongdoing, calling them "agenda-driven ultimatums."
"The allegations of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau are unfounded, and the timing of this lawsuit – midnight action filed on the eve of a new administration – reflects their political motivations," the company said in a statement.
Navient, a debt collector for both federal and private student loans, provides services ranging from processing monthly payments to helping borrowers enroll in repayment plans. Though not a lender itself, the company has more than 12 million customers, more than six million of whom come from its federal contract with the US Department of Education, and handles more than $300 billion in loans.
The company, which split in 2013 from Sallie Mae, paid $90 million in settlement in 2014 for imposing interest rates above six percent for military members. Navient spent 66 percent of its political donations on Republican candidates during the 2015-2016 election year, according to a report from the Federal Election Commission.
The CFPB for its part, had a structure that was ruled "unconstitutional" by a federal appeals court in October, and it has long been the target of criticism by Republican lawmakers, who want to constrain the agency and who have called for the president-elect to replace Mr. Cordray, The Christian Science Monitor reports.
Student loan debt in the United States reached record highs in 2016, with an average of $30,100 per borrower, according to a report by the The Institute for College Access & Success. The record rates of borrowing and indebtedness became a prominent issue in the presidential race, with all major candidates offering plans for reform.
Navient's alleged lapses in oversight, such as steering borrowers with long-term financial hardship to forbearance – which temporarily suspends or reduced the payment but accuses interest, are not uncommon across the board, according to Ms. Yu.
Some of these problems simply stem from structural failures in the industry, Yu says.
Though the income-driven repayment plan could significantly help many low-income individuals by lowering monthly payment to as little as $0, it is "administratively challenging" to handle, Yu says. Since it considers the person's income and family size, it requires much more paperwork.
"We think there's kind of a widespread problem of just steering into forbearances because frankly that's what's easier to do," Yu says. "But it does have a significant downside for borrowers, especially if they could qualify for an affordable repayment plan instead."
In addition, there's an incentive for the debt collectors who work for the Department that tends to hurt borrowers. The higher profits servicers receive from enrolling borrowers into rehabilitation motivates them to steer borrowers that way, says Yu, rather than direct them to other programs that will produce the same results, such as consolidation, a slightly faster process for the borrower.
Though some speculate there will be similar lawsuits in the field, Yu says Navient's case underscores the importance of having a national proactive regulatory watchdog, and she hopes the case drives more compliance with the law.
The case "highlights the need for the bureau and its active and independent watchdog role," she says. "This isn't just an incredibly challenging situation for the individual borrower. There needs to be an entity like the CFPB who's looking out for all of these different issues can arise. And especially when they happen on a systemic-level."

Like most of you I love chocolate. It doesn't much matter to me what kind of chocolate it is as long as it gives me that flavor that I crave…
Chocolate can be paired with a variety of other flavors:
- Tangy
- Salty
- Sweet
- Sour
And it is always perfect. Sort of like those pair of shoes that makes any outfit look great because they are so perfect themselves, you know?
These cookies are awesome. They are the darkest dark chocolate paired with bittersweet chocolate chips, toasted pecans, and dried cranberries. They are chewy, sweet, tangy, and perfect with coffee or milk or heck, even a beer.
You know I like my cookies chewy, right? Well these are. You bite through a thin, crispy outside and simply wallow in the chewy, gooey inside as chocolatey goodness spreads over each tastebud tauntingly……… THEN you bite into a tangy cranberry and your mouth goes wild as waves of flavor wash over you.
So good.
When I make drop cookies I like to make a lot of them – maybe a double or even triple batch and then scoop out the dough in tablespoon sizes onto a cookie sheet. I put that in the freezer for an hour or so. Once the cookie dough balls are frozen I drop them into a freezer container and then I can make a few fresh cookies, whenever I want, in ten minutes! It keeps me looking amazing to my friends – and that is always a good thing.

Episode 48
On the day Grady's relationship ends, Sean will be there to help him sweep up the broken dishes. Over the next six months it will be difficult to find time outside of school and Abigail that Sean doesn't spent with either Grady or his sister. He will see Shorty receive her degree. He will help Grady build a deck in his backyard. He will watch the execution of Saddam Hussein on Scarlet Cooper's television. Shorty will spend Christmas with Sean and Abigail. Sean will drink in the New Year with Shorty and her brother. He will help Shorty choose a dog. He will help Grady move into an apartment. He will change the starter on Grady's old Ford F250. He will go with Shorty when she buys her new car. He will sit in the passenger seat when she wrecks it. Shorty will stand with Sean over Abigail's grave. Sean will stand with Shorty over her brother. They will go to concerts together, lectures, debates, an Indy race, a couple of baseball games. He will take Shorty to a ballet and battle the urge to kiss her afterword. She hoped after Halloween that Sean grasped her feelings for him but she knows he still wants her. Shorty's uncertainty with those feelings complicates things even further.
Following an investigation of his phone, Grady's girlfriend screams at him, throws dishes at him, and then she leaves him. For a cop. Sean makes a sarcastic remark about men in uniform—pointing out Grady's lack of one—then they go to a bar where they play doubles pool with two out-of-town strippers. Grady takes the pregnant one to his house that night. Shorty passes the angry woman in his yard when she delivers a set of keys to their mother's new house locks. Grady feeds her lies and distraction over both his breakup and the girl Shorty swears looked pregnant but Grady insists is just a little out of shape. She calls Sean as she drives away from her groggy brother standing shirtless on his front lawn. Sean's inability to lie has already fostered some delicate moments in the friendship, most of which become a reliable source of humor for the Coopers. Sean answers, yes, the girl Grady took home is pregnant. Yes, she was drinking. Yes, they gave her a hard time about it. He answers, yes, Grady's girlfriend caught him cheating. Yes, Sean went to the bar with him. Yes, he was there when Grady met the girl. Yes, there was another girl. No, he didn't know them beforehand. Yes, they're from out of town. No, they aren't hookers. Yes, he slept with the other one. In her hotel room. Yes, he is in that hotel room talking to Shorty on the phone. Shorty then hears the pregnant girl burst into the room yelling at Sean about his asshole friend who woke up first thing this morning to call her a low-life for drinking while pregnant. Shorty hangs up on him.
Despite her first reaction—a private ejection of rage on the shoulder of the freeway—Sean's infraction makes things easier for Shorty. She feels more relaxed with him, not wound tight in defensive coil. Previously, Shorty suspected Sean of doing her the discourtesy of coddling her on discussions over ethics or morality. A sign of disrespect if not a soft spot in his wall of honesty. She hangs her new superiority around his neck like a Jersey bell, even imagines him clanking and clonging everywhere he goes. All those years of second place and falling short have made Shorty a terrible winner. Although it amounts to little more than a prank between them, she punishes Grady by detailing for their mother his adventures with the irresponsible stripper. Scarlet Cooper gave up forcing Grady to attend church but she can't stop reprimanding him for his behavior.

The week ending 2/13/14 yielded two milestones in hip-hop white guy content.
First, the highly anticipated Gold Wheels video #goldgoons premiered on Feb. 11. Subsequently, the Drake mixtape/album/escape method from his Cash Money Records contract If You're Reading This It's Too Late dropped in the middle of the night the very next day.
Like most things in life, I found out about it via the Twitter monoculture; as I do most nights, I had passed out watching the NBA and, reflexively, checked Twitter only to find literally everyone tweeting about a new Drake mixtape and quoting quotable lyrics 'n' shit.
Snowed in most of the following fortnight, I had ample time to contemplate these two works while staring out the window at the sheet of ice that had covered the street in front of my house. Along those lines, I present a review of Gold Goons via #relevant quotes from If You're Reading This It's Too Late.

While we were at Indy Pop Con in Indianapolis a few months ago we saw a dude cosplaying as the big bad dark elf from THOR the Dark World.
That dude looks a lot like Sweet D. Which was something CJ has brought up before on the podcast. So when we saw the cosplayer, CJ wanted to get a picture with him, after which he said something along the lines of "I just got a picture with Sweet D, that's so great!" To which I replied, "but it's Sweet D from the future. It's Future D." Continue reading

It's a rare thing to find a photographer on front of the camera, as opposed to behind the lens, but today's gorgeous Love Shoot is just such a rare gem - Sarah Fyffe (whose work you should all be well familiar with as she recently gave us the insider's top tips on looking gorgeous in your wedding photos) and her man Troy, enjoyed a day with another of our fave photographers Paula O'Hara, larking about the city walls in Derry in celebration of a decade of love and laughs together...
This fun-loving couple chose Derry as the location of their love shoot for its personal connections and connotations as Sarah explained... "I suppose because Derry was where we met and set up our first home we have a bit of an emotional attachment to the place! It was also approaching our 10th Anniversary and I really wanted to record this...
We both thought the City Walls would be a beautiful place to have our photographs taken. In fact, the way it worked out, the shoot was planned and these photographs were taken on our actual 10 year anniversary! I thought he might pop into the What Knot (shop in the photos) and get me an antique engagement ring and present it to me on the walls but that didn't happen.... watch this space..."
I love these pictures - they show how you don't need props or fancy locations, just an environment that is natural to you both, a great photographer and the confidence to be yourself and relax. Sarah glows with happiness and looks totally gorgeous, while Troy is clearly a man deeply in love...
So I for one, will be watching very closely indeed - these two are just too fabulous together, and it's a tribute to Paula O'Hara how relaxed and comfortable they both are on front of the camera. Their natural chemistry just shines through...

PE and Sport Premium
Sports Premium
What is the Sports Premium?
The government is providing all schools with additional funding to improve the provision of Physical Education (PE) and Sport in schools. This funding is ring-fenced which means it can only be used for its specified purpose.
How are we using the Sports Premium?
For 2017-18 it is anticipated that Seymour School will receive an allocation of approximately £24,000. Funding will be used to:-
- Extend extra -curricular provision across the school
- Increase numbers of pupils engaging in extra- curricular activities by 10%
- Track SEN, Gifted & More Able, Pupil Premium and girls engaging in extra-curricular activities (ensure that % are in line or above all pupils)
- Increase level of participation in intra and inter school games competitions
- Raise awareness of Gifted and More Able (GAMA) children in school
- To increase staff confidence and competence in teaching all areas of PE including Outdoor Adventurous Activities
- Develop playground facilities to promote active playtimes
Please click here to see our 2017-18 Sports Premium spending
Please click here to see our 2018-19 Sports Premium Spending
What difference has the funding made?
In 2016-17 the funding (£10,175) was targeted to support increased participation in extra- curricular sporting activities. Following consultation with the children, funding was used to extend the range of activities on offer. The programme of extra-curricular activities on offer was extended. Funding was used to train staff to support their delivery of these opportunities and the provision of financial subsidies to meet external provider costs.
28 sporting clubs were offered over the academic year. Sporting opportunities were offered across key stages 1 & 2 along with an Early Years club called 'Let's Get Moving' which delivered fun activities aimed at increasing levels of physical activity for our younger pupils.

Finland has been on my list for ages. It's got saunas, huskies and glass igloos, and to top it all off, last week it was named the happiest country in the world, according to the 2018 World Happiness Report from the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network. Just another reason to add it to the list!
It'll come as little surprise to many that another Nordic country has nabbed the top spot. After all, the scores for Finland, Denmark, Norway and Iceland have been largely interchangeable over the last few years, with all having held the top spot at least once, and Sweden is just slightly further down the list. They're certainly doing something right…
I've become particularly enamoured with Denmark in recent years and how everyone seems to be so damned chilled and perky all the time, not to mention their love of hygge – The Year of Living Danishly is a favourite book of mine – and this study is just another example of the fantastic standard of living in these countries.
But just why are they so happy? Well, according to the study, all Nordic nations scored highly on income, social support, life expectancy, freedom, trust and generosity, the results being largely based on polls of self-reported wellbeing – which means it isn't just research bods crunching the numbers, but locals actually saying how happy they are in their respective countries, and locals in Finland were the happiest of the lot.
Considering that Finland has around 3.3 million saunas, husky sledding and some of the best opportunities on the planet to see the Northern Lights, I'm in no doubt that Finns are happy (of course, there's probably more to it than that, but it sounds good so far). A lot of it comes down to societal support – Nordic countries have some of the highest tax rates in the world, yet people are happy with that; they're "good at converting wealth into wellbeing," said Meik Wiking at the Happiness Research Institute in Denmark.
Nordic nations are known for their excellent healthcare, free education and even free childcare, which means new parents needn't worry about the cost of getting back to work. Meik added that "there is wide public support [for the high tax rates] because people see them as investments in quality of life for all. Free healthcare and university education goes a long way when it comes to happiness."
That it does! Coming from a country where university tuition fees top £9,000 a year and homeownership is becoming increasingly out of reach for many, I can definitely see why higher taxes could be a decent trade-off for a better quality of life. There are of course the other studies that highlight Finland's high rate of depression given the fact that it's under the cover of darkness for much of the year, but for the most part, it seems that the economic, political and societal benefits outweigh the lack of sunlight.
So, is it time to emigrate yet? I was hoping to head to Finland earlier this year, but a combination of not-quite-enough-funds and my husband not having enough annual leave left meant it couldn't be done, but we're hoping to rectify that in the next year or so. In the meantime, I'd love to hear about other people's experiences – has anyone ever been to Finland? If so, do you think it lives up to the happiness hype? Let me know in the comments!

ImRage: Why Pokémon Is Evil… And Very Successful
I've been spending a lot of time with my Pokémon-obsessed seven-year-old cousin recently and, as one might imagine, that entails playing a lot of Pokémon games. I'm no stranger to the Pokémon franchise, in fact I grew up with those games. Ten years since I last played Pokémon Sapphire, the franchise seems as strong as ever so it's made me wonder what exactly it is about Pokémon that has captivated so many younglings, generation after generation. The strange thing is that Pokémon hasn't really kept it fresh. The Pokémon are new and the maps are new but the series hasn't evolved from the same basic formula from when it was released in Japan in 1996. And the answer to why is quite simple: the formula works. There's no need to reinvent the wheel when every new generation of games is meant for a new generation of children. There are many other reasons why Pokémon is successful, such as the TV series, but here I'm just going to focus on three key aspects of the games themselves and how they play on our basic human needs. Let's roll.
- You'll Be Able To Play (Expensive) PS2 Games On Your PS4 Now | 2 months ago
- Jessica Jones Disempowers Its Male Characters And The Effect Is Refreshing | 2 months ago
- Hell Is 30 000 Deathclaws Tearing Through Boston And It's Glorious | 2 months ago
- Sony Santa Monica Is Teasing Something Truly Strange | 2 months ago
The first point where Pokémon wins over the kiddies is with a frequent sense of accomplishment. There are always carrots dangling in front of you to go after and the game often rewards for doing so. Levelling up your Pokémon gives you 'cool' new moves or evolves them into stronger forms. There's also the Gyms that you need to keep beating to progress and, for my kid cousin at least, there's a huge sense of accomplishment in racking up those eight badges before finally taking on the Pokémon League. The reason why this works is because the rewards are so correlated with the efforts. Training your Charmander means getting to use Charizard and beating a Gym Leader means you're allowed to move to new areas with new Pokémon and stronger trainers. Even after you beat the League, there are still plenty more things for you to do, like fill up your Pokédex or catch super-powerful Pokémon like Mewtwo. The rewards all chain so well into each other and you hardly ever feel like there are no more objectives to accomplish.
This works because we all love to feel like we've done something significant during the day and Pokémon, like Achievements or Trophies, plays on this relentlessly. The game also enables this further since it's less skill-intensive and, overall not very difficult, so that younger children can feel like they're good at it. I suppose there are more complex strategies for some such as accumulating EVs or picking a Pokémon with a good nature but, for the most part, the game can be beaten without even knowing these exist. Typically all you need to do to is grind your Pokémon to high levels, teach them strong moves and have enough different types to beat most teams; clearly within the reach of your average seven-year-old gamer. In fact, the game even gives you a few cop-outs such as super-powerful Legendary Pokémon like Lugia or Groudon and abusable healing items if you're struggling. In a nutshell, the game offers a reasonable enough challenge to most young children, gives them tons of ways to overcome them and frequently rewards them for doing so.
The second thing that the Pokémon games do well is very much tied to the first; they give you a clear sense of progression. Being rewarded is important but perhaps even more so, is to have the feeling that the obstacles are becoming progressively more difficult. Now Pokémon is a rather easy game that actually gets easier as you go further along but the game still manages to give a massive sense, that you're a lot better from where you started. Just compare yourself 1 hour into the game to 2 hours. And then to 4 hours and 8 hours. Every hour that you play, your Pokémon gain levels and you get to catch new ones so that over the period of the game you're constantly moving forward. The game does a great deal to contribute to this by constantly scaling up the levels of Pokémon that you battle, evolving yours and your opponents' Pokémon and giving them stronger moves. There's hardly any loss factor in the game whatsoever, and the game does a great deal to give you a constant sense of accumulated resources.
The reason why all of this matters in Pokémon games is because progression is a concept that greatly appeals to us as human beings. We all like to feel like we're moving forward in life and we hate feeling like we're moving back. Anyone who's mastered a craft or worked up a career ladder knows that there's great satisfaction in knowing that you're a better chef than you were a year ago or that you're earning more than you did when you started out. Even if we aren't really better off, just the idea that our circumstances are somewhat better than they used to be is an encouraging thought and one that Pokémon goes out of its way to keep providing.
The last point that I want to touch on, and arguably the strongest, is the powerful freedom of choice that Pokémon gives you throughout the whole experience. Pokémon doesn't just give you an arbitrary set of objectives, they let you accomplish them in any way that you want, often giving you ten times more freedom than most 'adult' RPGs. You choose from two or three versions, you choose which starter Pokémon you want and, from there on, you pretty much just do as you please; there are no extensive tutorials or forced story choices to be found anywhere. While the game is essentially linear, you still get to choose which Pokémon you want to catch, who you're going to include in your party, which types you're going to favour and which moves you're going to teach them. Heck, you can nickname your Pokémon to personalize them further. And really, the game imposes very few restrictions on you about this. You could even release your starter and beat the game with a team of level 100 Magikarps if you're ambitious enough.
The reason why this is so important is because your Pokémon are not just weapons you pick up in a dungeon or guns that you unlock, they are the products of your choices. When you combine this with the sense of accomplishment and progression that I mentioned above, you'll see that your Charizard is not just some fire-breathing dragon you to use to burn through teams, he's your Charizard and, if you're like my seven-year-old cousin, then you probably love him as though he were real. We humans tend to have a strong attachment to the things that we put effort into and the more autonomy we have in their growth, the more emotionally involved we become. It's the same reason why parents are so attached to their own children and this point is really where Pokémon takes the cake. It gives you a freedom choice that actually matters, so unlike many RPGs of our era. (*cough* Mass Effect *cough*)
In conclusion, Pokémon really does do a great deal to play on the impressionable minds of young children but you can't argue that they don't do it well. It may be evil that Pokémon takes advantage of the very basic needs we have for accomplishment, progression and autonomy from young ages already but I suppose at the very least it makes them happy. However, if you're an adult, you should watch out very carefully for similar traits in the games you currently play. Just because a game has hideous demons or foreign soldiers instead of cute cartoon animals, it doesn't mean it's not trying to rope you in by playing on your basic human desires. As Dr Seuss once put it: adults are, after all, just obsolete children…
See you in two weeks time…

Otitis Externa is an inflammation of the ear canal caused by infection with bacteria or fungus.
Otitis externa, or swimmer's ear, usually starts out as a nagging itch, brought on by a softening of the protective lining of the ear canal. However, it can blossom into as painful an infection as you will ever experience.
For adults, swimmer's ear is the second most common cause of ear pain after TMJ (temporo-mandibular joint) syndrome. With a few simple preventive measures it can be kept in check, never developing into a full-blown infection.
When swimmer's ear is unchecked and advances into an infection, extreme pain, yellowish pus, and even temporary hearing loss can occur. At this point, it must be treated by a physician who will clean out the ear, administer antibiotic eardrops or pain medication, or both.
Swimmer's ear is a problem that affects anyone who spends time in water, lives in a humid environment, or sweats profusely. Water and excessive moisture wash away the ear canal's protective skin and earwax barrier and create a medium for bacterial growth.
Contrary to popular belief, swimming in dirty water does not necessarily bring on swimmer's ear. When the skin-and-wax barrier is intact, it repels bacteria.
Pool swimmers are particularly at risk because the water-chlorine combination changes ear chemistry from an acidic medium to an alkaline one. Once again, this creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and fungus.
Surprisingly, using cotton-tip applicators to clean the ears is the leading cause of otitis externa. A few twists with an applicator is all that it takes to rub away the protective skin and earwax in the canal.
The major symptoms are: itching in the ear canal in the early stages; ear pain that may worsen when pulling the earlobe; discharge of pus or fluid from the ear canal; redness and swelling of the skin of the ear canal; a small, painful lump or boil in the ear canal; eczema (patches of broken, flaky, itchy, red, oozing skin); temporary hearing loss due to pus accumulation in the ear canal; and fever.
Before you are treated for otitis externa, be sure to rule out the following conditions that may closely mimic the infection: Eczema (red and scaly skin disease), Folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles causing a boil), Ramsey Hunt Syndrome (herpes zoster infection of the geniculate ganglion) or Otitis Media.
The best way to combat the itch of swimmer's ear is with strict aural hygiene. Other methods of treatment are:
- Over-the-counter pain relievers - acetaminophen or ibuprofen
- Use of a small suction device by the doctor to remove excess fluid and pus from the ear canal
- Topical antibiotics or antifungal eardrops may be prescribed to treat infection, in addition to corticosteroid drops to reduce inflammation
- Oral antibiotics may be given for severe infection
- Surgical removal of dead tissue may be required to treat malignant otitis externa
- Codeine or narcotics may be prescribed to relieve severe pain
After symptoms disappear, avoid getting water into the ear canal for up to three weeks. During this period, protect your ears when showering or washing your hair, and avoid swimming.
What is the probable cause?
What treatment do you suggest?
Is there evidence of an infection?
Will eardrops help?
Will you be recommending corticosteroids to reduce the inflammation?
What preventive measures should be taken?
Use antiseptic eardrops whenever the water is trapped in the ears. Such eardrops are inexpensive and sold without prescription under various trade names such as Aqua Ear, Ear magic or Swim Ear.
Use rubbing alcohol. It absorbs the water, helps dry out the ear, and may even kill the bacteria and funguses that cause otitis externa.
Use white vinegar. Mix the vinegar with the rubbing alcohol.

Volunteering Opportunity: National Association of Law Students with Disabilities
In late January 2007, the Individual Rights and Responsibilities Section of the American Bar Association helped establish the National Association of Law Students With Disabilities (NALSWD) in order to identify areas of concern for disabled law students and to foster dialogue amongst all stakeholders about the most efficacious strategies for grappling with the disability-related challenges that law school entails.
NALSWD is a coalition of law students dedicated to disability advocacy and the achievement of equal access, inclusion, diversity and non-discrimination in legal education and in the legal profession.
We aim to support the growing number of law students with disabilities by providing a safe and supportive community to connect with other students with disabilities from across the globe, to network with lawyers with disabilities, to acquire information about career opportunities and advice on succeeding in law school and the legal profession.
To date, we have made our presence felt in more than 20 top law schools in the United States and have formed various committees in addition to ratifying a written Constitution and bylaws for the organization.
With the enactment of various international instruments on disability law, most notably the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
(UNCRPD) and the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Books to People Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired or Otherwise Print Disabled,
disability has emerged as an international rights issue. Issues pertaining to the rights of the disabled can no longer be confined within national boundaries.
Therefore, it is essential to understand how disability is perceived by different groups and how it is conceptualized from different perspectives in order to undertake more robust collaborative international efforts to address challenges faced by disabled law students that have a universal character.
We are always looking for law & pre-law students to take a more active role in NALSWD, so if you have any interest in getting more involved in the organization, please get in touch with us at [email protected]
More specifically, we would love to know your views/ideas with regard to the following four areas:
1. Initiatives that can be undertaken for addressing the most common challenges that are faced by disabled law students across the globe, with special reference to India;
2. Efforts that can be undertaken for fostering dialogue at the international level about the challenges that are faced by disabled law students;
3. Ways in which our resources can best be used to help disabled law students across the globe; and
4. Strategies for reaching out to more law students who may be able to benefit from our guidance and support.
We are doing exciting things and would love to hear from you. You can find out more about us at:
