WASHINGTON, DC — (Marketwire) — 04/24/12 — According to the latest statistics from the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), approximately 800,000 refractive surgical procedures were performed in 2010. At Eye Doctors of Washington, a center for vision correction, facial aesthetics, and LASIK in Tyson's Corner and Washington, DC, Drs. Thomas Clinch and Paul Kang say this number will continue to grow as the baby boomer generation reaches later stages in life and more patients are suffering from age-related vision loss.
According to Dr. Mary Catherine Fischer, the practice's aesthetic specialist, as one's eyesight deteriorates, the body also begins to exhibit similar signs of the natural wear and tear of daily life, particularly in sensitive areas of skin on the face and neck. She says facial structure starts to appear droopy and less vibrant, a condition that has led many patients to seek cosmetic rejuvenation of the eyelids and face to complement their refractive procedure. She says the growing popularity of aesthetic procedures like BOTOX® Cosmetic and eyelid surgery at her practice has spread to nearly every age group, as different demographics seek to enhance their appearance and their eyesight.
While eyelid surgery can be performed for both cosmetic and functional reasons, Dr. Fischer says a majority of the patients at her practice in their forties and fifties have been taking advantage of the procedure to help combat the signs of aging and reduce the appearance of tired eyes. As the second most popular facial cosmetic surgery performed in 2011 according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), she says eyelid surgery can help alleviate baggy eyelids and tighten the skin around one's eyes for a more refreshed appearance.
Dr. Fischer says most of her patients in their later stages in life are ready to try whatever they need to do in order to keep their skin looking healthy and full of life. Above the age of fifty, she says most of her patients have perhaps already had cosmetic surgery and are looking for dermal fillers such as Restylane® or Juvederm in Washington, DC to treat moderate facial wrinkles and lines.
For her younger patients in their twenties, Dr. Fischer says she has noticed most are looking simply for preventative measures through non-surgical treatments like BOTOX in Washington, DC. Originally used by ophthalmologists to suppress uncontrollable facial muscle and eyelid spasms, BOTOX® Cosmetic has now been adapted by many eye doctors as an aesthetic treatment. Dr. Fischer says eye doctors and oculo-plastic surgeons have a unique knowledge of the fragile skin and muscles surrounding the eyes, equipping them to perform delicate procedures such as dermal fillers and BOTOX® Cosmetic in ways other surgeons cannot.
Because many of the physical signs of aging begin to appear during one's thirties, Dr. Fischer says this stage of life encourages many patients to take a more aggressive stance on their facial appearance. She says many patients are looking to gain a competitive edge in the professional world by considering both BOTOX® Cosmetic and fillers, as well as eyelid surgery for some patients who have particularly noticeable or problematic areas of sagging skin under their eyes.
Dr. Fischer says around half of the patients that come into the Eye Doctors of Washington practice know exactly what they want for their aesthetic procedure, while the other half have narrowed down what features they do not like about themselves and are looking for some professional guidance. She says the consultation with an experienced and qualified practitioner is an essential part of discovery for patients and she encourages anyone considering treatment to research their practice extensively before undergoing a procedure. Dr. Fischer adds that she hopes patients take their decision to have any medical operation seriously and urges them to discuss all options with a dedicated, personable practice

The opportunities for parent education just keep on coming this year! The latest is an exciting new class being offered through the Chapel Hill Parks & Recreation Adapted Recreation & Inclusion Program. The class is designed for parents / caregivers of children in grades K-8 who have social cognitive deficits (including children autism, ADHD, and others).
Classes will take place Wednesday, February 20th - March 27th, 2013 from 6:30 - 8 pm
Location: Seymour Center for Senior Life, 2551 Homestead Road, Chapel Hill
social skills at home, at school & in the community. Based on Michelle Garcia Winner's Social Thinking® framework, you'll be given tools to assist your child in understanding unwritten social rules, taking perspective of others & becoming more flexible in social situations.
Winner's approach teaches kids the social cause and effect of "expected and unexpected" thinking and behavior (Winner, 2000) & how to use social smarts when dealing with life situations. Learn Social Thinking concepts, vocabulary & strategies of the Superflex® curriculum (Madrigal & Winner, 2008), which helps children discover their own Superflexible social thinking superhero who helps them defeat a motley crew of "Unthinkables" (social challenges represented in character form).

Have taken a few days to reconnect with family and friends after two deaths in our family within 6 days of each other. One of them was my uncle Joe and the other was a dear cousin of my mother's who was her best friend.
Grief and Sorrow
Listening to the news
Hard to believe
Wishing it was just a huge joke
Seeing the grieving loved ones
Hugging and holding on to each other
Hoping to ease the pain
Viewing in disbelief
Tears and sorrow hold hands
We all carry the same face
Words cannot penetrate
Dirt cannot bury our memories
The sun will shine again

If you have a close relative, such as your Mom or Dad, grandparent, brother or sister, who has graduated from a specific university, then that university may consider you to be a strong candidate for admission to that school.
Many colleges give a family discount (not in dollars, but in admissions acceptance percentage) to applicants from the same family.
In almost all cases, you still have to be a solid candidate.
Your grades and test scores need to be respectable. But your legacy status could very well push you over the top.
In some instances, legacy candidates are 20% to 50% more likely to get an acceptance letter than a non-legacy would.
Okay, so this isn't something you can really control.
Even though you can't control it, it's something to consider when you are making your college plans.

Insights: The day Big Sam Allardyce rolled the "Dyce" and well and truly lost – the importance of knowing who you are doing business with
Like millions of global sports fans it was greatly disappointing, not to mention embarrassing, to witness recent events unfold as former England football team manager Sam Allardyce was caught red handed in a conundrum far more perplexing than any tactical challenge he had previously faced in a thus far unspectacular albeit steady career.
I'm sure most know the details so I will spare regurgitation. It did, however, get me to thinking in a broader capacity as to what the business world could potentially learn from Allardyce's indiscretions and two key points subsequently materialised.
For those unfamiliar, in the UK only the role of the Prime Minister is more high profile than that of national football team manager. Assuming the role, especially if the candidate is indeed English, is the holy grail and Allardyce had every chance to achieve legendary status and write his name into the annals of history. Well he certainly did that but in completely the opposite manner. He well and truly dropped the ball. He let the team down. He let the nation down. As one respected broadcaster commented: "He had a plate full of lobster yet he couldn't resist reaching across to a neighbouring table to steal a chip."
Why? What fuelled this insane decision to meet with relative strangers, engage in such a precarious conversation and disclose so much as to compromise his position as king of the castle? Greed? He was being paid GBP 3million a year so surely not? Pure stupidity? No, as you don't get to climb such heights if the lights are on but nobody is home. Ego? Possibly as Allardyce wasn't known as "Big Sam" merely on account of his physical stature! Whatever the reason, to display such unethical conduct and blatant disregard is baffling, disappointing and a microcosm of the notion of money over morals that seems to be undermining sport, business, politics and many walks of life in this current age.
It demonstrated the significance of a robust culture within an organisation, manifested by best practice conduct. It proved that ethical decision making and accountability is imperative, especially at the highest level. But surely that's a given, right? Surely the modus operandi should always be based on doing the right thing, of conducting oneself in a proper and ethical fashion?
Allardyce's response was that "entrapment had won." For a man renowned for building teams around a strong defence this was a weak call and wildly missed the point. Of course the topic of conversation was wholly unethical, his conduct downright wrong and I am not in any way condoning this nor am I dismissing this as irrelevant. But, in all actuality and to support my broader point, it should never had got to the situation where a meeting took place, let alone a conversation. It simply shouldn't have happened, end of.
The team who allegedly "entrapped" poor Big Sam were posing as representatives of an investment consortium from the Far East. They were actually a team of journalists from one of the UK's most respected newspapers. And this is the principal point of the piece and my argument. Surely Allardyce and his advisors must have stopped to think and check before agreeing to meet, especially given he is constantly under the microscope of the public gaze? His reputation, his career, his future has been seemingly destroyed by a lack of proper research and due diligence. Sloppy you could say. Maybe, but what can business professionals learn from this sorry affair?
It clearly illustrated the genuine importance of knowing who you do business with, of who you are meeting with. Of conducting stringent and thorough enhanced due diligence and background checks on any 3rd parties or potential business partners before you sit down and enter into any form of commercial dialogue with them. Or any dialogue for that matter. (And no, of course I'm not saying it's ok to conduct this due diligence and proceed into unethical discussions or engagements regardless).
Big Sam clearly failed to do this and his empire came crashing down after only 67 days and one game in charge. With an ever increasingly complex regulatory environment and focus on enforcement by local and global authorities, business professionals would be wise to heed Big Sam's imprudence – even if your corporate culture and conduct is on point, engaging with any 3rd parties without knowing who they are can pose a very serious and potentially catastrophic threat. To reverse the slogan of one well known sports manufacturer: "Just don't do it!"
I wonder what Big Sam would do now if he had the power to turn back the clock? What would he impart as invaluable advice from his experience? I would imagine that the importance of having a robust due diligence process would be high on his list. Know your 3rd parties, know who you are doing business with. Invest in this. It will pay dividends in the long run.
Similar topics and themes will be explored in detail at ethiXbase's 2nd Asia Pacific Ethics & Compliance Summit on November 18th in Singapore. If you haven't already then register now. As an FYI Big Sam Allardyce will not be speaking….

PASADENA (Feb. 20, 2017) – Freshman Connor Soohoo (Redwood Shores, Calif. / Crystal Springs) has been named the SCIAC Men's Tennis Athlete of the Week, the conference office announced this afternoon.
Soohoo played an integral role in the Beavers' 7-6 come-from-behind victory over West Region No. 16 California Lutheran University on Sunday, picking up wins in both singles and doubles. Caltech needed both points from Soohoo in order to win the match and the freshman delivered, pulling out the #6 singles victory in three sets (6-2, 3-6, 6-2) and teaming with sophomore Zixiao Li (Coppell, Texas / Coppell) to win #3 doubles, 8-4.
Soohoo joins fellow Caltech scholar-athletes Nasser Al-Rayes (Doha, Qatar / American School of Doha), Kate Lewis (San Antonio, Texas / Ronald Reagan), Christopher Bradley (Half Moon Bay, Calif. / Junipero Serra) and Alexandra Bodrova (Russia / Kurchatovskaya School) as Beavers to earn the distinction this season, and along with Al-Rayes one of two Beavers to have earned it twice this year.
Sohoo and the 1-1 Beavers are set to endure a bit of a layoff before they visit Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges on Saturday, Mar. 4.

Woohoo, Ice Saints, you brought it on all right! It's been raining for the past few days like crazy. In this part of the world, the 11th, 12th and 13th of May are presided over by the three saints, St. Boniface, St. Pancras and St. Servatius that bring us what are most-likely the last cold days of the season (typically, bad weather and cold are the norm of these days). For tomorrow a significant drop in temperature is forecast, so, folks, St. Sophia might be kept busy as well. After that, it's all roses, right?
Apropos the rain, here's a funny thing I noticed in Gioia magazine:
I checked the web and I can report that, yes, a Raindrop Cake is a real thing. It seems it's turning into something quite popular. I find it rather strange though. But who am I to judge? Let people eat whatever they want, I'll have a slice of my rhubarb pie as soon as it cools down a bit. Wanna see?
This is a great dessert! The ingredients are a no-nonsense and what people usually stock at home. Thus, it's doable even on the rainiest of days when the last thing you'd want is a run to the store. It's basically down to butter, sugar, flour, eggs, baking powder and lemon zest plus topping. I use a recipe from this entry by The Wednesday Chef with some tweaks. That recipe never really worked for me as a crostata because for some reason the dough doesn't get firm enough but I tweak it into a pie that is just marvellous. My version of that recipe would read like this (I hope The Wednesday Chef doesn't mind):
Preheat your oven to 180°C. Mix together 150 grams of sugar with 150 grams of softened butter. To this add 2 eggs, the grated peel of a lemon, 200 grams of flour (depending, you might need up to 50 grams more) and half a packet of baking powder. Pat the dough out in a buttered spring-form pan and cover the dough with jam of your choice (we sometimes thin the jam with a glug of brandy over low heat before spreading it on the dough). Bake until golden-brown and the jam is bubbling, 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature before eating.
Sometimes, like today, I use fresh fruit instead of jam. Although I was planning to use up the bergamot jam (yes, I'm still in the citrus compulsive-obsessive period) I decided to employ the pretty rhubarb stalks before they withered.
I usually poach the fruit quickly before arranging it on the dough. I tried it several times with either apples, peaches or quinces to a great avail. There's lots of room for playing with the fruit if you're willing: you can add vanilla, rose water or spice it up with brandy or cointreau while poaching it). But using jam is plainly and straightforwardly rewarding too.
I couldn't care less if it rained for another whole day. With a slice of this pie on my plate (and a number of them to follow) I'm on the safe side.

Can I get an experienced opinion on the merits or minuses of the comfort shield. I am a new owner and to happy to be objective about the stock one. I have a 99 1200RS. Thanks and happy holidays
I owned a 99 KRS. Great bike. Congratulations. The "comfort" of the comfort screen in a way will depend on your height. I placed it on the bike and for my 6'4" frame it just introduced more buffeting and dirty air. The air flow was cleaner with the lower stock screen. Subjectively, preferred the appearance of the lower screen.
Best of the season, I have a 2004 k1200rs and have the comfort risers. As well I have the stock windshield, comfort windshield and a monstrous rather huge windshield that I inherited from the previous owner. I started off using the stock windshield but have used the comfort shield for about the last 10,000 miles. I don't notice all that much difference in handling or buffeting but it is more protective in cold weather and rain. In warm weather it is manageable. Switching windshields only takes a few minutes, no big deal. I argue with myself regarding the appearence, but hey, it looks great with either. Thought a tinted one might make me argue more, but again I'm sure it would still be the brand of the bike, that really does it for me.
Thanks guys, just the kind of experience I was looking for. Happy holidays
I have both the comfort and the sport windscreens. The comfort screen will keep the wind off your body, which is good for long days in the saddle or cold weather, but its pretty noisy. the small sport screen is slightly less noisy, and you really feel the wind hitting you if its cold or rainy. the best combination I've come up with is to use a Laminar Lip for the comfort screen. It made a HUGE difference and it cost 1/3 the price of an aftermarket screen. You may want to try one on your sport screen and see if it helps.
I have 118,000 on my '00 RS. I started with the stock, tried the comfort and then the Aeroflow. I found the comfort screen helped a tad in cooler weather, but not much. More buffeting, preferred the stock for nice weather. I was riding in 35-40 weather in the mornings going to work, so ended up trying the Aeroflow, got a shorter version vs taller. That, along with the hand guards for the cruiser were the ticket for pretty cold days and for the long trips. As said above, changing out is easy, even with the full height ('lost the first Aeroflow in a move and found it when I got the second installed) screen. Only 5-ten minutes max to change from stock to touring mode. For the price the comfrot was a waste for me, but worked for a buddy.
Thanks, i will look up the airflow. The hand guards you mentioned. are they the little upper fairing extensions?
I have a 2002 KRS and added the comfort screen, GT-style wings (in black) and Barbacks purchased through Pirates Lair. I am running this setup year-round and have been pleased overall. When I have the screen in the lower position, my handle bars will contact the sides of the screen at full lock due to the Barbacks. It's a minor hassle that I have learned to live with. I'm about 6' tall and the noise and buffeting isn't too bad but noticeable. I have thought of adding the Laminar lip but have not been able to find it yet. All the above changes were driven by the desire for more comfort as, at 57 and with some arthritis and mild carpal tunnel issues, this set up lends itself to a much more pleasant long-distance ride.
The hand guards I referred to are actually for the Cruiser model. They attach, as all Aeroflow products it seems, with the industrial hook and loop type fasteners onto the brake and clutch fluid master cylinders. These parts on the K12 are essentially the same as on the cruiser, so they fit. Aeroflow does sell extensions that go along the side of the fairing just aft of the mirrors for the early K12s. I don't have them, but they would help with keeping the wind off your midsection, not sure if they really help on the hands. I have modified my hand guards to clear the body work and as a result they don't protect as well as they did before the cutting, but still are way better at 35 degrees than just hands in the air on the heated grips.

Recipe: "Mood Stabilizers"
So, yesterday morning, we went and bought a mower (holy shit get excited a mower, *poop noise*), and then the wife came upstairs to paint the office (which is ranked "Apple 4" on this chart right over here), and while she was painting, I figured, okay, let's do a bang-up no-holds-barred Indian dinner.
I already knew I was going to make a cashew-cream chicken curry. I already knew that I was going to make mango lassis (which turned into mango-guava lassis, but whatever). I already suspected that basmati rice was on the agenda. I mean, duh.
But then I had this little kernel, this crazy seedling of an idea that grew into a tree of awesomeness.
And I thought, you know what I enjoy at restaurants? Lettuce wraps. Give me a leaf from a head of green leaf lettuce, put some delicious crap in there, and I will eat it like some kind of madman taco — the crunch, the crispness, that slightly bitter tang of the lettuce. Yeah. Yes. I wanted that.
So I went to the Fresh Market, then stopped off at a local dry goods store.
And this is what I came up with:
The Part Where You Mise En Place This Bitch
In case you're mule-kicked and forgot already, you're going to need some leaves from a head of green leaf lettuce. Let's call it four to six such leaves.
Put those little bitches on a serving tray. One after the other. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Line them up like they're being punished for something.
Then, you're going to need one cup of cooked chicken. Since chicken does not cook itself — well, nuclear chickens probably cook themselves, since they're like microwaves with feathers and beaks, and one day we shall be forced to battle an army of said nuclear chickens out in the bomb-blasted wasteland of post-war America — you will need to either a) cook the fucking chicken your owngoddamnself or b) buy a chicken that some motherfucker has already cooked. Like, say, a roaster.
Here's the kicker, though: you then want to add one cup of cooked chicken skin. I know, some people are grossed out by the skin for some mysterious reason, but some people are also Communists and kid-touchers, so I can't be held accountable for people's disturbed tastes. All I know is that chicken skin is fatty deliciousness. Except, nobody wants to eat a strip of chicken skin like it's a swatch of greasy wallpaper ripped right off the wall. Pshhh. So, you take the cooked skin and put it with the cooked chicken.
Then you dice the unholy shit out of it.
Seriously. Get a big knife. Pretend you're chopping cilantro or something. Choppity-chop. Punish it. Remind the chicken that you are its dread master and that it is dead and you are alive, que sera sera.
Set that aside.
Now: get yourself four or five shallots. Shallots are awesome. They're like little onions. But they're also like big garlic. They're the best of both worlds, like hermaphrodites and sporks. You want to cut the shallots into little goddamn rings: a handful of little sphinctery o-rings that as you chop will bring sweet clarifying tears to your horrible human eyes. When you're done, those can go in a separate bowl.
It's time for the Brazil nuts. Wuzza? Yeah. You heard me. Brazil nuts. Monkey toes. Or, if they're still in their shell, velociraptor claws. I didn't really measure how many I used, but I used an approximate half-cup of these crazy nuts, which if you've never eaten have a kind of… fatty umami bitter bite? They're not full-on bitter like walnuts, but the taste is rich and oily. Anyway — stick these nutty fuckers in a mortar and pestle, then make with the crush crush crush until they're all pulverized. They don't need to be a snortable dust or anything: just broken apart into push-pin sized bits.
We'll pause here for a second and answer the question: "Why Brazil Nuts?" The answer, my friends, is blowing in the wind. *checks documents* No, no, wait, that's not right. The answer, my friends, is in all the sweet fucking selenium — Brazil nuts have an almost incomprehensible amount of selenium, a helluva lot more than any other food. Six Brazil nuts have 780% of your daily suggested selenium intake. Selenium is good for all kinds of stuff: in particular, it's a free radical that runs through your body, karate-kicking cancer in its carcinogenic face. But, some also suggest that selenium has powerful mood stabilizing abilities.
Hence, Brazil nuts. Hence, these are called "Mood Stabilizers."
Moving on.
Now, back to the goddamn chicken.
Into the two cups of chicken I want you to add the following:
A teaspoon of sugar.
A pinch or two of salt.
A pinch of cinnamon (I used Saigon cinnamon, which is not true cinnamon, but rather, Cassia.)
A teaspoon of minced garlic.
A pinch of ground cardamom.
Mixity-mix mix mix-a-mix.
Time for:
The Part Where You Cook This Shit
First, we want to attend to these shallots.
In particular, we want to crisp them up. Very simple: oil in a pan, shallot sphincters in there when it gets hot, let them get carmelized on each side, maybe toss in a pinch of salt to help draw out the moisture. What are we talking? Probably 5, 10 minutes. Something like that.
Set those crispy bastards aside.
Time to cook the chicken. The chicken is already cooked, mind you, but what you want here is to get it a little oily, and further to make some of the spices aromatic. Oh! And you also want that chicken skin to crisp up a touch. For a textural thing. Put it in a hot skillet for a couple minutes — keep it moving, don't let it stick to the pan if you can.
Then, when you're ready —
Are you ready?
I said, are you ready?
It's time for the Hot Mango Chutney.
You can make this at home, but I won't lie: this time, I did not. I used Patak's, but making your own isn't all that difficult — I just plain didn't have the time yesterday.
How much do you need? I used two tablespoons of the aforementioned chutney. ("Chutney" always sounds like the proper name of a fat English schoolboy. "Little Lord Chutney," they'd call him. Nickname, "Piggy." Whenever he tries to talk, you mock him even though he has the conch, and then you drop a boulder on his big dumb head. And then you collect the brains and call it "Hot Mango Chutney.")
Anyway. Plop Piggy's Brains the mango chutney into the chicken, mix it, heat it, then toss in the crusha-crusha-crushed Brazil nuts, heat through again. When you're done —
Spread it out amongst those lovely lettuce leaves you set out earlier.
Rough guess, two or three tablespoons per leaf. I dunno. Shut up and eyeball it.
Top them with some of your part-greasy part-crispy shallots.
Then, eat them like tacos.
They'll stabilize your mood not merely because they offer a Herculean buttload of selenium (hey, by the way, don't overdose on selenium, please?), but also because these things are just fun to eat. They're sweet, sour, salty. They're soft in the middle, but have lots of crisp and crunch, too. You eat them with your hands, and foods you eat with your hands are — *checks math* — 145% more fun to eat than non-handy foods.
So, there you go.
For your brain and mouth and mood.
Eat, motherfuckers. Eat.

We were surfing the net peacefully.. then..
It disturbs me quite frequently now... are we capable enough to take up the challenge of the GCE "A" level examination? from what i've observed, i beg to differ. yesterday i was on the train to my grandmother's house, i saw this 0705 girl reading, taking notes and highlighting furiously on The Straits Times. it worries me on our own progress. people are working that hard for the examination that is due in 25-weeks time, which approximate to about 6 months. i stared in awe at the papers in her hands as she was writing and highlighting. then, it occurred to me that she's making full use of the time to "study" for the cursed General Paper.
!!! Even newspaper can also take out and mug? Is that girl a fucking retard or what? Hahahaha. This is the kind of nerds that 0705 can produce. Even people from top jcs in Singapore don't do such silly stuffs. 0705 has really succeeded in driving its students to become drones in order for 0705 to gain at least some kind of name.
Muggers United is the name of 0705's offical blog. Hahaha. How true.
I feel sad for those idiots, like the highlighter girl.
In the past we have Matchstick seller girl. Now in 0705 with have Newspaper Highlighting girl. Hahahha!

Hello guys,
Hope by now you are used to my inconsistent updates. This product series have been parked in my to-do-list for ages and I have never seemed to get about doing it. Well, here it is. Calling out to Guardian and Watsons shoppers, I hope you read this cause this will be a very good heads-up.
To make this review really straight forward, I'mma review the products one by one and tell you where your money is worth, cutting out the sentimental crap. I know, it's crazy, it seems like I am adopting the full series as my main facial regime but I can tell you, it is not. So I will now set myself a goal to post up a youtube video on my facial regime. Now that it's said, I need to keep my promises. So keep watching this space, there's much to come!
Bio-Essence Deep Cleansing Milk With ATP
By normal consensus milk cleansers serve as a makeup remover, and yet I truly believe, and always stress on the importance of using milk cleanser before washing your face, to get rid of your make-up, and dirt/dust accumulated over a day of fieldwork. Now this Bio-Essence Deep Cleansing Milk has been my choice of cleanser for the past 1 year because, no. 1) it is economical compared to other milk cleansers from Eucerin, Loreal etc. It is about RM20++. And it lasts for a decent long time. Related Post Here.
Now, the efficacy and the experience :
In terms of efficacy, defined as how much dirt is gotten rid of by how much stain is shown on the cotton pad. With my previous Body Shop Seaweed Cleansing Milk, Bio-Essence Cleansing Milk fares at best as average in terms of dirt/dust removal, I have already made comparisons between the two in the related post. First of all, the texture has a cream like thickness. So when you dispense the product onto your cotton pad and start swiping away on your face, by 1st count you will see stains on your cotton pad. But it may not mean that your face is totally cleansed, because the viscosity is so cream-thick, sometimes I wonder am I actually rubbing the creamy product into my pores n what not.
It is worth a buy because it's economical. And because you will be washing your face afterwards with a proper cleanser (Double Cleansing) so you can let that flaw mentioned above skipped.
So my verdict is : BUY.
Bio-Essence Radiant Youth Essence With ATP
I actually, love this product. It is so practical. But my usage for this product is completely different than it is intended. I first was exposed to this product when I was in GZ with my sis and I saw a bottle on her shelf. Curious, I used it and the substance is oily, but it was the turn of winter at that point so it actually felt really good after the oily-residue dries up. However, when I come back to Malaysia, I knew in my guts that this would not work on my face. So, what do I do with it? I use it on my neck! I do neck lifting massage every day and night so this serves just right for my purpose. Just half a pump is literally more than enough for half of your neck, and this provides the lubrication needed in lifting massage. Anything less you are dragging and tugging the skin which may cause the opposite effect of lifting.
The Verdict
If you do neck lifting massage and you need an oily product for lubrication, this is it. It is not too expensive, probably priced between RM50++ to RM80++. I can't remember. Half a pump is more than enough for half of your neck, and lubrication goes on long enough for the repetition needed in neck lifting massage.
Use it for Face? – Don't Buy. Unless you have super dry skin in winter.
Use it for Massage? BUY. A little goes a long way, so practical so beautiful.
Bio-Cell Repair Rejuvenating Serum
I bought this product because I was slowly getting sucked into Bio-Essence. And I was also running out of a hydrating serum/essence before my moisturiser. So, owning already the essence, and they are paired in Bio-Essence Skincare Program, it only made sense this would be my choice of hydrating essence, before moisturiser.
The Experience
I'm telling you, this product, it never runs out! It's bizarre. Everyday, half a pump it's enough to spread across the whole face. It's so easily spreadable. But this product is practically useless. It does nothing, there's no improvement in hydration, not to even mention any of its cell repairing benefits so it claims, or any rejuvenation in my skin. And since no benefits are seen after 5 mths use, I wonder if it's just butylene glycol and some petroleum based ingredient in it. I bought it in early November, and until this day, it's not finished yet! And I was using it day and night. I didn't like the product so I just wanted to quickly finish it, get over it, so I can buy my next obsession. But it just never finishes. Finally fed up, now I use this on my neck too. Haha, man, pampered neck.
The Verdict
The Experience
I initially bought it for, really, my neck. Since my neck is not prone to any break outs, I was looking for a moisturising cream, to keep my neck lines in check. It wasn't too expensive. So I guess it serves to purpose, minimizing and diminishing fine lines. The cream is really heavy, really really heavy, reminds me of the older facial creams in the early 90s. And the cream doesn't spread too well. The cream is so heavy, acne-break outs are pretty inevitable.
The Verdict
Super Dry Skin and you want a slim face – BUY.
Need a heavy cream for your neck creases – BUY.
And last but not least, my most neglected product on the shelf :
Bio-Essence Complete Nourishing Sleeping Mask
The Experience
I got this as a hand-me-down from my sister. As a sleeping mask, I don't particularly like it. It the feel of a layer of wax across the face. Given time the sensation would go away. And the next morning you do wake up with a hydrated and brightened face. So, it's a nice product, minus the waxy feeling on your face.
The Verdict
And if you can look past that flaw, and you just want the hydration and supple skin the next morning, you can definitely try this. BUY. But after trying for few days and you feel like you can't get past that waxy feel, well my friend, that's a huge jar to go.
*** Foot Note : Another promise out to y'all, since now you know I use 3 products on my neck alone, I will post up a video on how to achieve V Shaped Face. Keep this space watched!

5 October 2018
A direct descendant of Akaroa's very first French settler has set up a tour guiding business in the popular seaside town.
Marie Haley, who was born and raised in Akaora and travelled extensively across Europe and Asia, wants to share the town and Banks Peninsula's amazing history with visitors.
"I want to provide a genuine experience, which is why I am sharing my family history and my perspective in these tours. I always yearn for this as a visitor myself; I want to know more than just what I can see, who the locals are, the history and the stories so that I truly remember where I have been," Marie says.
Her tour company The Seventh Generation was launched earlier this year (2018) and is helping visitors understand the people and history that gives Akaroa its colour and special community feeling.
"Many people wander around the town, not aware of the meaning they are missing. It is fine to visit a monument, but do you really know what you are looking at when you get there? Stories bring places to life. That is one of the reasons I began my tours; I want visitors to know where they really are – not just a name on a map."
The Seventh Generation offers two-hour history tours and private tours for individuals or school groups, with some profits from ticket sales going towards the ongoing protection of the area's natural environment. As of this summer, Marie will also be offering an exclusive Akaroa history tour with Princess Line Cruises.
Marie has been the Wildside Coordinator for the Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust for the past eight years, working with private landowners and government agencies to protect forest and species such as yellow-eyed penguin and little blue penguins.
"Akaroa and Banks Peninsula has some of the most amazing history in New Zealand, with three nationally significant sites within only a few kilometres of each other. I grew up on the family farm surrounded by markers of meaning – places with special stories attached to them such as pa sites (Māori village or defensive settlement), settler houses and prominent peaks.
"It has always been a habit to store stories away in my mind and share them with anyone who would listen, weaving them together into a foundation story for this place makes my world whole. I am constantly reading and learning to fill in the gaps in my knowledge to make my understanding complete," Marie says.
In the future she would like to create a charitable arm to the business, to bring students out from low decile Christchurch schools to spend a day learning about the area's history and to have time to connect with nature.

From Religous Intellengence -
A new prayer of blessing has been approved by American Bishops for babies in the womb, commenting that the new prayer filled a gap in existing prayer books.
The new liturgical service, which is in both English and Spanish, was approved overwhelmingly yesterday.
Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville, Ky., praised the new blessing as "a tangible way to witness pastorally and sacramentally to the life of the unborn child" and said it could also serve as an opportunity for parishes to bring together expectant couples for mutual support.
Bishop Michael D Pfeifer of San Angelo, Texas, said the document could present "a great catechetical moment for all of us." He said he hoped it might lead the bishops to declare an annual day of prayer for the unborn in the future. The document required the approval of two-thirds of the Latin-rite members of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and must be sent to the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments for "recognitio," or confirmation. The English-language version was approved 223-1 and the Spanish-language version 224-0.
Bishop Arthur J Serratelli of Paterson, NJ, chairman of the bishops' Committee on Divine Worship, introduced the document Nov 10, the first day of the USCCB fall general assembly in Baltimore.

- If you are just looking for an MBA degree, then perhaps XLRI satellite courses are not just for you. If you are unsure as to what this course will do, then let this pass. It is for people who know as to what this course will deliver – 'precisely'. Given the fee in comparison to a normal distance learning MBA options, this one should be chosen very carefully.

At the time of his death, Robert Orseck was the firm′s appellate attorney. He inspired both friendship and respect, and his loss is felt personally and painfully by all who knew him.
In the fifteen years in which he practiced, Bobby established himself as the premier appellate practitioner in Florida. Although his services were sought by a large variety of clients, he chose to devote his career primarily to the representation of tort plaintiffs, and he often appeared on behalf of the Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers as amicus curiae in major appeals affecting the rights of accident victims. His deep sense of compassion for the rights and lives of others, combined with his legal genius and abounding energy, produced an impressive anthology of case law containing important decisions familiar to every trial and appellate attorney in Florida. They include Holl v. Talcott, West v. Caterpillar Tractor Co., Inc., Metropolitan Dade County v. Dillon, Compania Dominicana de Aviacion v. Knapp, Gates v. Foley, Auburn Machine Works Co. v. Jones, Lincenberg v. Issen, Mathews v. Ranger, Wood v. Camp, and Markert v. Johnson. The Southern Reporter and Federal Reporter contain over 350 reported decisions in which Bobby appeared as counsel.
Many memorials have been and will be dedicated to Bobby Orseck. His presence will continue to be felt in the appellate process for many years to come, because of his intelligent and untiring efforts in shaping the law of Florida.

Hanuman, The Monkey God
Hanuman, the monkey god, is a very popular deity and is worshipped all over India, specially in villages. His image is found in many forms, often with one head, two arms and a long tail looped over his head. He normally has a monkey's face on a very well built and strong human body. There are several other forms also including one with ten arms and five heads. Apart from his own, the other heads are of a garuda (half man, half bird), a boar, a horse and a man-lion, representing the five most important avataras of Vishnu.
Hanuman is an important character in the Ramayana which depicts him as the epitome of devoted service and loyalty. His search for the heroine Sita, captured by Ravana, illustrates his superhuman powers and zealous performance of the tasks assigned to him. When he came to know that she was held captive in Lanka, Hanuman crossed the channel between India and Lanka with a giant leap. On being captured, he set Lanka on fire with his flaming tail and returned to Rama and helped him in many miraculous ways to besiege Lanka. Twice he flew to the Himalayas to collect medicinal herbs for his wounded companions. After the war, his wish to remain as Rama's faithful servant was granted. Every Rama temple has an idol of Hanuman as a minor deity. His worship is believed to destroy all evil.
Festival: Hanuman Jayanti
Held in March-April, Hanuman Jayanti (birth anniversary) is celebrated all over the country. People visit the temples where the idol is given a new coat of vermilion mixed with clarified butter and then richly decorated. Fasting is done and apart from the Hanuman Chalisa (hymns of Hanuman), the Ramayana also is read. Tales of Hanuman's love for Rama are read aloud.

Read this unexpected and disturbing tidbit on page 10 of the (U.S.) New Super Mario Bros manual.
I guess now we know why Bowser Sr. was always kidnapping the Princess… 😉
Read this unexpected and disturbing tidbit on page 10 of the (U.S.) New Super Mario Bros manual.
I guess now we know why Bowser Sr. was always kidnapping the Princess… 😉
You should play Mario Sunshine. It is in that game Bowser tells his son that Peach is his mother as a ruse to get him to kidnap her and to dislike the Mario Bros; he reveals this to not be true at the end.
Come on, Josh… True geeks don't read manuals! 🙂
That's old! Mario Sunshine told me that!
That's old! Mario Sunshine had it on film! (No subtle jokes here)
Bowser told Bowser Jr. that Princess Peach was Bowser Jrs. mom. Bowser lied to him to get him to kidnap Princess Peach and hate the mario Bros. forever. Havent you ever played Mario Sunshine? It tells you that in the end.
Um…. I didn't play Mario Sunshine so I was like 'Whoa' and then I was like 'Oh.'. So yeah.
in super mario sunshine, you must be stuck where theres a strange glowing light that goes up to the sky. simple, go to the middle of the rainbow glowing light. stare straight at the sun to teleport to an isleland called noki bay
u now at the end of mario sunshine bowser was tring to tell his son that Princess Peach is not his mom but bowser jr. said that he all ready new that Peach was not his mom STUPID.
u now in mario sunshine bowser trys to tell his son that Peach is not his mom but bowser jr. said he nows that peach is not his mom.Mabe u should look under google vidieos to see the the ending and don't beleive evey thing the computer shows.
Bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Why you talk , you talk Mama Peach? Noooooooooooooooooooo Grrrrrrrrrr you you make me mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! see you next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I read on a website that Peach is only 12 to 13 years old and Mario is 22 or 23!!!!!!!
OK, OK, we all know Princess Peach isnt Bowser Jr´s Mother, but who is it then? Daisy? Yoshi? Luigi? Ms Bowser? A Koopa or Gommba? How the hell Bowser Jr. was born?!?
Or and even more important question… HOW THE HELL MARIO BORN, i mean ive already played yoshi island and all , but why mario was floting around? How do Grown Up Yoshis look like? Is Wario ever going to be on a diet? The videogames got no explanation, maaaan! Maybe Bowser Jr is adopted… but a dont really thing there is another big spiky turtle around somewhere… o well, see you. And when you ever know the answers of everything i mentioned and more, please let me know!
ps:Brawl ROCKS!!
WTF I KNEW THAT ALDREDY – Bowser teaches bowser jr to be a total prosti
No, no, no Bowser only told Bowser Jr. that to make him kidnap her!
after that levle, how do you get peach back? bowser jr. takes her to another island and i cant get to it. plus i beat all of those episodes in that amusament park!
you go and get yoshi from pinna park and eat the fruit on the warp pipe to get to sirena beach

According to Miyamoto, Peach was five-years-old in the first Super Mario Bros. game. Please, ignore the cartoons that aired from 1989 'til 1992, as the events in those cartoons mean nothing, as does any comics or manga made between the same years. Mario in Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., and Wrecking Crew is a Brooklyn New Yorker that was, at the time, the same age as Nintendo's New York offices' landlord: 36.
Peach isn't anybody's mother, as she's around 29 right now. Miyamoto has said in interviews occasionally shown on The Science Channel (when they're not doing speculation and dart-board lists to pass off as "programming") that she was born around 1980, Daisy was born around 1982, Plum was born around 1990, etc.
Also, don't forget Bowser, Jr., has seven other brothers and sister. Wendy O'Koopa was 16 in 1991, so she was born in 1975. Ludwig von Koopa was 18 at the time of the game in 1988 (original Japanese release), so he was born in 1970. Larry Koopa was born in 1980 himself, making him the same age as Peach in the third game.
The name of the Koopalings are: Larry Koopa, Morton Bowser Koopa, Jr., Wendy O'Koopa, Iggy Koopa, Roy Koopa, Lenny Koopa, Ludwig von Koopa, and Bowser Koopa, Jr. Don't ask why or how about Morton Koopa, Jr., and Bowser Koopa, Jr. It's just confusing.
Also, for story's sake, at the end of Mario Bros. (though there isn't an actual ending), the Mario Bros. end up in a strange world before the Mushroom Kingdom that occurs in Wrecking Crew, which could be the first appearances of other "Mario" plumbers and construction workers, like Wario and Waluigi. In Wrecking Crew, there's even a Mario-looking villian who wears all yellow. At the end of that game (there isn't an actual ending), the Mario Bros. finally reach the Mushroom Kingdom. The whole idea, according to Miyamoto, is that the Mario Bros. hear the cries for help from a drainpipe in the basement that they lived in with Mama and go investigate, leading to Mario Bros., which leads to Wrecking Crew, which leads to Super Mario Bros.

One of my readers recently criticized me for promoting what she considers oppressive and archaic beliefs regarding marriage and motherhood.
"Read something – anything
– on feminism," she pleaded. "Learn to respect yourself, then you can respect others."
Of course, this is a cleaned-up version of what she actually wrote. Her original comment was so riddled with expletives and venomous slurs that it made me wonder what, exactly, her notion of "respecting others" entailed.
But that is beside the point.
As it happens, I had already read half a dozen books on feminism. But her suggestion sent me searching Amazon for new titles of interest. That's where I found the book I just finished reading: The Flipside of Feminism, by Suzanne Venker and Phyllis Schlafly.
This book — like the other four listed alongside it — is too good not to share. The authors examine feminism in light of common sense and expose it for the failed social experiment it is.
No intellectually honest person can look at the aftermath of the sexual revolution — rampant venereal disease and abortion, escalating rates of single motherhood and the abject poverty that it fosters, and coin-toss marriage survival rates — and not recognize that something is amiss.
That something is our godless worldview, of which feminism is a major component.
In my mind, buying into feminism is a lot like smoking cigarettes. I understand why someone who has smoked two packs a day for the past 50 years might have a hard time kicking the habit. But I am dumbfounded that anyone not already addicted to nicotine would ever take their first drag in this day and age. Especially knowing what we now know about tobacco's causal link to lung cancer, emphysema, heart disease, and a host of other devastating illnesses.
In the same way, I find it incredulous that anybody who has witnessed firsthand the destruction and despair that follow in the wake of feminism would continue to cling to such a bankrupt ideology.
Yet cling they do, and with dogged persistence.
If these women could leave off chanting their antiquated rhetoric long enough, they would hear the cries and whimpers of the modern class of victims their manifesto has created. Victims that include their own children, everyone on the planet with a Y-chromosome, and ultimately the feminists themselves.
To be sure, some espouse feminist ideals because they patently believe in them. But I suspect much of our society cooperates solely for the sake of remaining politically correct. They can see as well as the next person the mess this radical movement has made of things, yet they keep their thoughts to themselves and watch on in silence.
But perhaps that is about to change.
The whispers are beginning to circulate, and the crowd is starting to stir. The status quo has been boldly challenged by books such as these. Books that say what we already know in our hearts to be true: "Feminism is a bust. The emperor has no clothes."
For a fresh look at feminism, don't miss these five favorites:
THE FLIPSIDE OF FEMINISM: What Conservative Women Know — and Men Can't Say by Suzanne Venker and Phyllis Schlafly
Excerpt: "Most important, we must begin by telling… the truth about what feminism has done. After all, no society can thrive — or survive — when half its members believe they're oppressed and the other half are told there's no reason for them to exist…. It's time to end the war between the sexes. Men are not the enemy…. Americans aren't used to hearing [but deserve to know] that women are the fortunate sex, or that 'hooking up' is wrong (and foolish), or that happy lifetime marriages are attainable, or that staying home to care for one's children is a noble and worthwhile endeavor, or that men in America are the real second-class citizens."
WHAT OUR MOTHERS DIDN'T TELL US: Why Happiness Eludes the Modern Woman by Danielle Crittenden
Excerpt: "It may be true that 30 years ago shockingly discriminatory attitudes towards women in the workplace prevailed, and we are all thankful to be rid of them. But in their place have risen some shockingly discriminatory attitudes towards women who wish to have children without neglecting them (as exemplified by Hillary Clinton's remark, 'I suppose I could've stayed home and baked cookies'). And it is these attitudes that have made it difficult for a woman today to occupy either sphere of work or home completely happily, without feeling guilty and exhausted in one or insecure and underappreciated in the other."
A RETURN TO MODESTY: Discovering the Lost Virtue by Wendy Shalit
Excerpt: "Modesty acknowledged [a woman's] special vulnerability, and protected it. It made women equal to men as women. Encouraged to act immodestly, a woman exposes her vulnerability and she then becomes, in fact, the weaker sex. A woman can argue that she is exactly the same as a man, she may deny having any special vulnerability, and act accordingly, but I cannot help noticing that she usually ends up exhibiting her feminine nature anyway, only this time in victimhood, not in strength."
Note: Shalit's follow-up book, Girls Gone Mild, is also a very enlightening read.
THE CASE FOR MARRIAGE: Why Married People Are Happier, Healthier, and Better Off Financially by Linda J. Waite and Maggie Gallagher
Excerpt: "[A]t the heart of the unacknowledged war on marriage is the attampt to demote marriage from a unique public commitment — supported by law, society, and custom — to a private relationship, terminable at will, which is nobody else's business. This demolition is done in the name of choice, but as we shall see… reimagining marriage as a purely private relation doesn't expand anyones's choices. For what it ultimately takes away from individuals is marriage itself, the choice to enter that uniquely powerful and life-enhancing bond that is larger and more durable than the immediate, shifting feelings of two individuals."
PRUDE: How the Sex-Obsessed Culture Damages Girls (and America, Too!) by Carol Platt Liebau
Excerpt: "When a girl's attention is directed primarily to her appearance, there's less time for her to pursue other interests and develop other skills that can serve as sources of self-esteem. When she's learned to garner male attention simply by displaying her body, it's less likely that she'll develop the other common qualities that are conducive to strong relationships and lasting happiness; indeed, a lifetime of focusing primarily on her own appearance in body — and automatically expecting men to do so as well — can make it difficult to form deep, lasting bonds with any man."
So there they are: Five of my favorite books on feminism. Update: You can find more of my favorites here:
- Men and Women aren't Identical: Four Books that Illustrate the Difference
- Women's and Gender Studies: Five MORE Books for Women Who Think
- Postponing Motherhood (Booklist): How Long Can You Afford to Wait?

Educators across the land and even those who haven't yet entered the profession will know that teachers don't just spend their time teaching. In fact, a letter from Education Secretary Damian Hinds highlights that more than half of a teacher's time is allocated to tasks such as marking, planning and general admin.
The letter was sent to all school leaders early in November, co-signed by Ofsted, the Confederation of Schools Trust and other key organisations. The purpose behind this wasn't simply observational, as Hinds stated his commitment to reducing workload by tackling longstanding issues within the education sector, which are a direct cause of stress, anxiety, and many inspiring individuals leaving the profession entirely.
Pinpointing the exact problem, the Education Secretary admits that an ever-increasing emphasis on schools having to build detailed pupil data results in countless hours spent on administrative duties, which have a clear impact on the quality of lessons and the average lifespan of a teaching career. Though we're living in a time where data is everywhere and used to great effect, it's encouraging to know the nation's education leader acknowledges that technology needs to be simplified before it becomes detrimental to what teaching is all about.
Hinds also promised that the government will support head teachers with the workload associated with teacher appraisals and make data systems more effective, with the aim being to reduce the hours required to achieve tasks by removing unnecessary processes. Put simply, Hinds says that he wants to "make sure teachers are teaching, not putting data into spreadsheets".
Taking immediate action, school leaders have been assured that they will no longer be asked for data other than in a school's existing format. For those who are familiar with the time-consuming job of converting documents to fit external specifications, this alone will come as very welcome news. What's more, Hinds says that he and the government realise that excessive monitoring of a child's progress isn't required by Ofsted or the DfE, thereby allowing a reduction in superfluous data collection.
This activity is complemented by the recently added Gov.uk resources to help school leaders and teachers to review and reduce workload. If you haven't yet checked out this valuable toolkit, we recommend downloading it now so that you can discover methods of dedicating more time to teaching your lessons.
Other support is also being rolled out nationwide, including a boost to training opportunities for teachers in early stages of their career, a £508 million grant to fund a pay increase up to 3.5% for classroom teachers on the main pay range, and the introduction of flexible working practices.
Teaching is one of the most inspirational, versatile and fulfilling careers available, so it's reassuring that the government is putting measures in place to attract new teachers and retain existing educators.

More than half of Japanese who are laid off will still be out of work a year later, an international report said Monday, adding firms must be more flexible if Japan's economy is to improve.
The findings come as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe embarks on his third year in power, after pledging to awaken the country's long-slumbering economy, in part by cutting red tape, AFP reported.
Around 1.4 percent of workers lose their jobs each year, with older, less educated employees and those on temporary contracts at highest risk of remaining jobless, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) said in a report on Japan's labor market.
"A significant fraction of Japanese workers are laid off each year and then face long periods of joblessness before finding work, often at much lower wages," the OECD said.
On average between 2002 and 2013 only 48 percent of those who are retrenched found a new job within 12 months, the report said, adding those who do find employment, suffer an average 20 percent cut to their income.
Trend Persists
The trend persists for the next three years, and "even four years after the displacement, their earnings are about 15 percent lower than they were," said lead writer and OECD senior economist Paul Swaim, noting the same pattern is observed in other developed countries.
"The costs borne by displaced workers are likely to remain high in many cases... if the employment opportunities available to mid-career job changers remain limited," the report said.
The slow death of the culture of lifetime employment and a greater dependence on part-time or casual employment means Japan's workers, not the firms that employ them, bear almost all the costs of the little flexibility the job market has.
"In Europe there is a word called flexicurity, which means reconciling flexibility with security for the entire workforce," said Swaim.
"It means some mobility between jobs, not meaning becoming permanently poor as a worker," Swaim said.
Deregulating the jobs market is a key plank of Abe's plan to turn around the world's third largest economy, with rigid rules on hiring and firing sometimes blamed for the national flat-footed responses to changing global markets.
Supporters say a more flexible workforce would better allow families to look after children and the growing ranks of elderly, as well as permitting firms to adapt more quickly.
But critics say reforms run the risk of taking away job security.
