Chemical Peel in Edmonton
Shakespeare was right when he said 'there's no art to find the mind's construction on the face.' But he still looked right? What wouldn't we give for a smooth, healthy, blemish-free and natural-looking skin?
There are various ways to improve skin tones, remove freckles, mild dark spots and acne. We use this Peel as an adjuvant to other re-surfacing treatment such as Fraxel Laser and Microneedling. It helps give your skin a great look and feel, especially if your budget is limited
What is a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peel (ing), also known as chemexfoliation, helps to remove or peel unwanted outer layers of the skin. Although the degree of the peel exerted may affect lower layers, it is important to choose the right peel solution that inflicts a harmless and controlled disruption to the skin layers to remove dead cells and tissues to regenerate. The deteriorated skin peels off leaving a smooth and radiant look.
Types of Chemical Peel
The types of chemical peels treatments depend on several factors. This includes the skin type, complexion, type of treatment and the downtime required to get desired results. Hence, there are four types of peels.
Superficial Peels
As the name implies, this peel is the most straightforward peel that patients can undergo. This is due to its low potency and effects on all skin types. Your doctor (or injection certified pharmacists) may use a diluted liquid containing glycolic acid or solid carbon dioxide. Further, Superficial peels have minor downtimes and are less expensive. Painkillers or use of an anesthetic are not necessary.
Medium Peels
This type of peel is more sophisticated than superficial peels. Also, they would likely induce second-degree burns. Further, medium peels lead to epidermal and upper dermal regeneration. To reduce pain, we offer a stream of chilled air or a mild analgesic. That's not all, a trichloroacetic acid (TCA) helps ease the pain, which happens to be the principal peeling agent. Patients feel little pain or sensation. But, the outcome is definitely worth the downtime.
Deep Peels
This type of peel penetrates several layers of the skin. Also known as croton oil peel, it's used only for facial procedures. This treatment can also bleach darker skins may. As a result, the treatment is intense, and as such, we do not prefer to do more than once every 5 years.
CROSS is an acronym for the chemical reconstruction of skin scars using potent trichloroacetic acid. It is a different type of peel that is localized to target only spot by applying the TCA locally on the scar, but not the whole face.
Who are the best Candidates for a Chemical Peel?
As stated above, people with darker skins may experience mixed results when it comes to peeling. This makes people with light or fair skin the best candidates for chemical peeling.
What can chemical peel correct?
You can correct the following skin irregularities through a chemical peel:
- Superficial acne scars
- A sunburned skin or hyperpigmentation
- Post-acne pigmentation
- Dark knuckles
- Melasma dilated pores
Note that, Chemical peel is not strong enough to treat every skincare issues. Also, a chemical peel procedure can help reduce Wrinkles, saggy skin or bulges. Other cosmetic procedures will suffice. Chemical peels are not capable to resize pores or remove deep scars
Before Getting a Chemical Peel
Body/skin altering procedures need professional opinions. Before undergoing a chemical peel, your first port of call should be your doctor (or injection certified pharmacists). Tell your doctor about any medical issues before undergoing chemical peel.
This helps to determine the depth and type of chemical peel needed. Applying a moisturizer and using sunscreen before the procedure is necessary. The moisturizer prepares the skin for the peel and even aids the healing process.
Also, your doctor (or injection certified pharmacists) may prescribe Antibiotics or antiviral drugs before and after the procedure. The condition of the skin is important. A small 'test spot' may be tested/peeled in to observe the results. The test spot procedure is more common and essential for people with a darker skin tone.
How are Chemical Peels Done?
The skin is always doused to prevent bacterial infections. Liquid solutions like lactic acid, salicylic acid or phenol will then be applied and left for a while. This is then we wash the skin with alcohol or water solution. The effect this has is an induced injury allows new skin to develop. During the treatment procedure, it's normal to feel a burning sensation. But it wears off after some time.
A prickly sensation may follow. We apply cool compresses applied to the skin to ease the discomfort. Pain medication may be necessary for medium and deeper peels.
What to expect after a chemical peel procedure?
Expectations are dependent on the chosen procedure – Superficial, medium or deep. The removal of the upper layer of the skin often reveals a beautiful outcome. A beautiful skin tone surfaces especially when the desired result matches the type of peel.
More than two treatments over the span of two weeks may be necessary. Aftercare is essential to protect and maintain the improved skin. We advise our clients to avoid direct sunlight and irritating substances. Cleansing and moisturizing the recently peeled skin daily is important.
Any Downtime?
Irrespective of the type of chemical peel carried out, they all need downtime. Patients should be ready to 'relax' for as much as five to six weeks in the case of medium and deep peels. Superficial peels may take a few days barring any major event. But, after a chemical peel, the skin may look reddish for two to three months. Should the need arise; repeat the procedure chemical peels six to twelve months.
Are there any complications?
Only certified licensed estheticians should administer the chosen procedure. Deeper peels leave greater possibilities for complications. These include scarring, photosensitivity, and skin atrophy. Apart from the redness expected, retinol elements in the peel could give rise to soreness of the skin.
Skin texture and types differ and some people are likely to experience a color change after a chemical peel. Also, taking medications like contraceptives and family history may contribute to such coloration. If you have a scarred skin, facial and facial warts or herpes, you may want to avoid this procedure. Although your doctor (or injection certified pharmacists) could help you treat them.

The Philadelphia Eagles won the franchise's first Super Bowl Sunday night-but not every player will attend the traditional White house.
(Reuters/Kevin Lamarque)
With the Super Bowl LII to win, the Philadelphia Eagles get to take home the franchise's first Lombardi trophy – and maybe plan a visit to the White house.
But not every player will be at the usual ceremony in Washington, DC President, Trump has been shamefully clashed with the NFL in his first year as President, player has knelt down in protest during the national anthem. And some of his political positions and rhetoric have angered athletes.
Several players for the New England Patriots skipped the White house visit last year, after the team win the Super Bowl LI.
Here is a look at the eagle's players do not fly to the White house this year, with the invitation offered.
Malcolm Jenkins

(Reuters/Kevin Lamarque)
Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins not mean "that the participation in" the visit to the White house, he told CNN, after his team win the first Super Bowl.
"My message has been clear the whole year … I want to see changes in our justice system," he said. "I want to see us push for economic and educational promotion in communities of color and low-income communities. And I would like to see our relations to be extended between our communities and our law enforcement authorities."
Jenkins raised his fist in protest during the national anthem in the season 2017.
Chris Long
Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Chris Long is not the Super Bowl celebration at the White house last year and don't plan to this year, either.
(Reuters/Jerry Lai-USA Today Sports)
Even before the Eagles win, defensive end Chris Long said "not to excuse My" podcast that he will visit the White house.
In the past year, as a New England player, was Long among the many players who skipped the visit to the White house, when the Patriots won the Super Bowl. LeGarrette Blount, the visit is also a patriot-turned-eagles-player, skipped last year in the White house.
Torrey Smith
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith has no plans to visit the White house after his team won the Super Bowl.
(Reuters/Kirby Lee-USA Today Sports)
To skip before the Super Bowl game, wide receiver Torrey Smith vowed that the White house visit. He told reporters the players pay attention to Trump's tweets, and other messages.
"We are very informed about what goes on, and we continue to try us," said Smith, according to NJ.com. "There is something very special, a group such as the people not only socially, but people who learn to really care for people and care more."
If it is emphasized to the protests, Smith, that the players "are not protesters, the national anthem," but instead of engaging in a "protest, while the anthem was played."
"I don't understand why people are angry or may be offended when someone takes a knee," he said.

|The nature and role of social presence in audiographic, synchronous online language learning contexts

|Availability of Full Text:
This study explores social presence (SP) and its nature and role in online language tutorials at the Open University. My research questions ask how SP is perceived to influence language learning and what factors impact on the projection of SP from the learner perspective. I also ask if these perceptions are evidenced through observed aspects of tutor and learner participation. Within the field of computer-mediated communication (CMC), SP theory has evolved from a view of SP as a product of a technological medium to an understanding of the impact of social interaction on its development and projection. Research studies in CMC highlight the importance of SP but, as yet, the links between SP and online language learning have not been fully explored. Whereas socio-cultural theory provides a framework for my understanding of the importance of social interaction in learning, I draw on the field of multimodality to gain insight into the meaning-making potential of multimodal environments. I also draw on the Community of Inquiry framework (Garrison et al., 2000) to provide both a theory and methodology for my study of SP. My principal finding is that positive SP is important in online language learning, not only to support and facilitate language interaction but also as a necessary aspect of communication in language learning. However, the generation and impact of SP are contingent upon factors related to individual learner differences and emotional responses, and to its interplay with teaching presence and 'language learning presence', which is a new concept. SP must always be understood in relation to the primary mediating variables of the subject area and online learning environment. The pedagogical relevance of my study is located in insights into the nature and role of SP in online language learning, derived from an integrated methodology, involving both student perspectives and my observations of online interaction.

Chapman & Cutler LLP is considering moving its offices out of the Harris Bank building at 111 W. Monroe St.
Loop law firm scouting space
The law firm has hired the Chicago office of Los Angeles-based CB Richard Ellis Inc. to scout downtown office buildings for a new home, according to people familiar with the firm's plans. Staying put is also an option.
Chapman & Cutler is the building's second-largest tenant, with a 162,000-square-foot lease that runs out at the end of 2010, according to CoStar Group Inc., a Bethesda, Md.-based real estate research firm. A representative of the law firm did not return phone calls seeking comment.
With developers building new downtown high-rises amid a soft office market, Chapman & Cutler will have plenty of options. The downtown vacancy rate, including sublease space, rose to 18.6% in the third quarter, up from 18.4% in the second and 17.0% in the third, according to CB Richard Ellis.

President-elect Donald Trump's pick for secretary of the treasury, Steve Mnuchin, said at his Senate confirmation hearing Thursday he would like to "bring the IRS up to date."
The potential treasury secretary pick said he would "use technology to bring the IRS up to date." Mnuchin noted some serious flaws in how the IRS currently operates, including old email security and systems. The IRS incurred a massive data breach in early 2016, releasing more than 700,000 Social Security numbers and other sensitive information of American taxpayers.
Mnuchin said there should be more open means of communication between the IRS and taxpayers. "There should be simple ways for the IRS to interact with taxpayers," Mnuchin said. "One of my greatest priorities is to update the IRS."
He also wants to increase the size of the IRS. While some have questioned, including himself, the number of employees at the IRS, he would consider increasing the size of the labor force. (VIDEO: Mnuchin Wants To INCREASE The Size Of The IRS)
"The IRS headcount has gone down quite dramatically, almost 30 percent over the last number of years. I don't think there is any another government agency that has gone down 30 percent. Especially for an agency that collects revenues, this is something that I'm concerned about," Mnuchin said. "Perhaps the IRS just started with way too many people. I am concerned about the staffing of the IRS."

The votes have been counted and the scores are in! Brad over at liliputing has put up a Samsung N210 review over here.
Jump on over to Liliputing to see some excellent photos of the new netbook up close and personal. Although UK readers are invited to pop back afterwards to find a cheap netbook through SammyNetbook.com!
Summarising the N210 Review
For those looking for a quick update, here are some highlights:
- Not the thinnest or lightest netbook around
- The Samsung N210 is a fine example of a netbook with an attractive case design
- It's exclusively available in the US at Best Buy (available to buy more widely in the UK)
- The plastic does a good job of hiding fingerprints
- The matte display is worth singling out
- The screen doesn't look great outdoors, but neither does it reflect sunlight and turn into a mirror
- The keyboard is quite attractive, but Brad found that it's not the easiest keyboard to type on
- The touchpad is decent, but nothing to write home about
- Brad had no problem using the Samsung N210 to surf the web
- With the screen brightness set to about 50% and WiFi enabled the N210 achieved 6 hours and 6 minutes run time

35 nm offshore venice
Well I got a call from a buddy who said he really wanted to do some grouper digging before they closed. I told him the oil pump was still acting up and its a pain in the **** when you have to stop once every 10 miles or so to fill the reservoir tank up. He told me he doesn't care and.... hes paying for the trip. It took me all of 5 seconds to decide this was a great idea. Towed the boat 80 miles down to venice, and on the water by 8. Of course he made a bet with me that he would outfish me and of course I took him up on it. Made the trip to a spot I know with large structure and great live bottom surrounding. He got the jump and dropped down first before I even had us drifting right(go figure). Next thing he knows he gets slammed and reels in a respectable 27" truck. He is boasting "blah blah blah I told you Im gonna win" All I could think about was dang that was the first drop. Todays going to be awesome! Well within a few minutes I get dismembered by a fish that I could have sworn was going to be a huge true red snapper but nope it was a 30" grouper. I quickly proceeded to gloat and throw it in his face while our other buddy rubbed it in his face as well by saying lets take a picture. After that I repositioned us for another drift where I caught a couple more but with light tackle. I really wanted to find this structure that I wanted to drop the gopro. Well after I took a pic of the show and drifted it with some success with the mangos I tried to get anchored up. During which a friend decided to throw a nice mango back because he had seen us throwing ars back and thought it was one. After 3 times of not getting the anchor to bite right I had enough. Of course caught some ars while we were there. My friend has never caught one so it was my pleasure to put him on his first. And yes we did catch the other elusive endangered gag grouper as well. Surprisingly had no floating fish today, which was awesome to see. After that spot we moved to a place where I have caught 50 grouper in 100 yards and immediately everyone is hooked up and I was like thank god here they are. Well then the bite slowed down to about 1 or 2 per drift and then nothing. Was really slow today and we had to work for them but hey that's fishing. Atleast we got close to a three man limit(missing by one) and my friend caught his first red snapper and scamp. Lucky his first scamp was a keeper! Weather was awesome!!! Cool breeze 2 foot on the way out with maybe some 3 1/2 foot swell mixed in, on the way back it was glass and my friend got to meet the bean bag chair. As we were hitting the jetties we got a nice sunset. Time to park the boat for a couple months...... maybe!
Nice job out there. Looks like we missed the good weather by just a few days. How deep were you guys?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
I think the big fish are still out deep like in 110 to 125.
Thanks for the report..We are running out of time,it was a good season..
NICE!! Thanks for the great pictures too!! That's funny about the released mango!!! I have had people give me grief when they saw my pics with some BIG vermillions, I was scolded for not releasing those "red snapper". The only one I would have trouble with is the cubera snapper, have yet to see one up close.
Chico you better get your big boy pants on and head out to the steps or the elbow if you want to see those cuberas, but that is out of my range for sure..... the middle grounds hold them as well but not in mass numbers to my knowledge. You should have seen the look on my face when he tossed it over. I gave him **** for the rest of the day of course, especially because he only caught one grouper! Big vermillion? I would love to see the pics where they would mistake the two. if you have them will you p.m. them to me I am always game for a big laugh! I hope it was not from your last adventure!

Another shot at the mango spot I missed!
I used to spend a month in Key Largo, mostly fishing, the charter capt I hired said all I had to do was ask him and he would hook me up with a cubera, all I had to do was pay the charter, the fuel, and the 20 lobsters he wanted for bait!! When I got the lobsters, they ended up in the steam pot, and we fished for muttons and black grouper instead!! Would hurt to send down those lobsters as bait!!! I will look for the rack shot with the vermillions, they were not huge, but folks on this forum thought I was keeping red snapper and let me know about it
Hopefully they did so in a p.m. I have heard there is no better bait for a cubera than a live lobster. I have also heard they can be quite wormy the larger they get, but I have no knowledge on the subject myself.

Snapshot of Cape Verde – Cape Verde (or Cabo Verde) is a former colony of Portugal. The country's official language is Portuguese, however, most of the population speaks Cape Verdean Creole, a mix of Portuguese and West African languages. The island nation boasts a high literacy rate and economic stability. As a result of Portuguese colonization, nearly 80% of the population is Roman Catholic, though other Protestant churches and religious groups are present in smaller numbers. The creole culture of Cabo Verde derives its influences from Portuguese and West African traditions. Soccer games, church activities, and meeting with people at the town square (praça) are common activities. Cabo Verde also has its own unique musical styles – morna, coladeira and funaná are all popular styles of music and dance. Much like other Portuguese-speaking nations, lunch is the main meal of the day in Cabo Verde. The national dish is called cachupa, which is a stew made out of meat and vegetables, beans, and hominy (dried corn kernels). Rice, beans, and fish are also eaten regularly, and corn is used to make many food items.
The Church
Missionary work began in Cape Verde in 1988, which resulted in the forming of a branch a short time later.*
There are currently 9,326 members in total.* Almost 1/6 of the population of Cape Verde are Latter Day Saints.
There are 23 congregations in the country.*
*These stats can be found at mormonnewsroom.org
Staple foods in Cape Verde are mostly fish, corn, and rice. Vegetables like onions, tomatoes, manioc, cabbage, and kale are grown locally. Bananas and papayas are available year-round as well. Mangoes and avocados are seasonal.
A popular dish served in Cape Verde is Cachupa, a slow cooked stew of beans, corn, and fish (or a different type of meat).
Because Cape Verde is a series of Islands, most of the transportation is done by plane. Boats are available, too, though they are not as frequent, nor as reliable in some cases. In the major cities, public bus transport runs periodically.
The US Government has advised tourists to be extremely vigilant in the evenings, to carry small flashlights, avoid dark places, always travel with others, and lock all windows and doors.
Keeping the mission rules and following the counsel from the apostles and prophets in the White Handbook will keep you protected and safe!
Social activities for locals mostly include watching football (soccer) and church activities. Most social interaction happens in the town squares. And in towns with electricity, Television is available in two channels: Portuguese and Cape Verdean.

The US Postal Service does send mail to Cape Verde, though mail does take quite a while to travel to Africa.

The end of the year means looking forward as well as reflecting on the past, we're talking specifically about Pantone and Dulux's annual December release of their colours for the next year. Although different in tone, both colours represent the mood and influences that will be projected into the main trends and thoughts of the next year.
Connecting with nature
'Greenery' has been earmarked as the next on-trend colour in interiors by Pantone. Bringing the outdoors in and celebrating nature comes hand in hand with the colour green. Often bringing the fresh feeling of spring, bold green can make a real statement in the home.
With wood panelling and a more modern take on the natural world being key trends in 2017, it's never been easier to connect with nature. Create a tonal wonderland with hazelnut woods and soft concrete grey for a more colourful take on the traditional Scandi aesthetic. The green will provide a pop of lifting colour, whether as a feature splash back of brick tiles or some cut flowers in an architectural vase.
Aaronson Gloss is the perfect fit for a more industrial style; the pitted surface gives it a raw feel whilst the glazed green finish lends a more polished edge providing an interesting contrast to your surface.
We've got the blues
Further down the colour spectrum, Dulux have been inspired by the worn hues of vintage denim. 'Denim Drift' is their chosen colour for 2017 creating a versatile colour palette for your home. Match with soft greys, off whites and rustic charred wood for a cool pared-back style or ramp up the drama with contrasting black, another key hue for 2017. A blackboard wall is the perfect accessory for a denim-inspired scheme.
Mix modernity with classicalism by using Chartwell Blue on half a wall with a contrasting paint colour above. The bevel edge of this range gives the tile a certain charm that is instantly updated with the on-trend blue tone.
Whichever your colour preference consider your grout lines, finding a matching grout can be challenging for on trend colours however a light grey shade can add definition to your tiles whilst being easier to maintain than traditional white.

You know, the longer I take between blog entries the more work I am able to show, making me look much more prolific than I actually am.
Anyway, let's talk about embroidery!
Painting is a huge pain in the ass, especially because my painting space is also my home office/kitchen/living room. Every night I either have to shove all my supplies against the wall so I don't trip on it in the morning or pack it away in a cupboard (where it is more often than not, completely forgotten about.) So somehow this led me to pick up embroidery… which is low maintenance, inexpensive, surprisingly relaxing and has the added bonus of being able to work on projects in my bed!
For my first attempt, I decided to go BIG. If embroidery wasn't my jam, then I wanted to know it right away — so I started by stitching a person. Now, I wouldn't recommend this technique of starting out with a high difficulty level, but this is just how I roll. I started out with a photo of my husband when he was a kid (early 90's = laser background) and sketched out the lines with a fabric marker. Then I just started filling in the areas with the appropriate colour with different lengths of stitches. On the face I attempted to do some shading, which didn't turn out as terrible as I had anticipated.
I'm guessing this took around 10 hours — not including a false start where I began stitching on a different coloured background. And I absolutely LOVED working on this.
This next project I worked on during a long flight home from Florida. I am a very nervous flyer, so settling into a fun embroidery project was absolutely perfect for calming me down.
PRO TIP: With all the restrictions on what you can bring in your carry on luggage, you CAN bring needles, but not scissors. So just pack a container of floss and use the little metal tab to snip all your threads.
And of course because I had just been in Florida, my UFO is abducting an alligator.
For each project after that, I starting giving myself little challenges. Trying out a "thread painting" technique, working with French knots, and seeing if I could replicate a complicated pattern of a dress (I couldn't, but that's okay.)
In 2019 I'm hoping to start combining embroidery with other forms of art, mostly to justify all the money I've spent on fancy art supplies. I've also recently gotten into weaving (more on that later) and am sloooooowly working on tapestries that will be embellished with embroidery, though my work schedule is hogging all my free time lately.
Let me know if you want any embroidery tips/resources for beginners!

Quality is completely subjective — for every idea, creation or decision that one person thinks is good, there will be someone out there who thinks it is bad. It's easy to get stuck in cycles of self-doubt, debating whether option A or option B is correct. Simply acknowledging that no choice is perfect can be incredibly powerful.

This sheet mask from FaceQ was soothing and moisturizing despite the oil control properties. It gave plenty of leftover essence that I saved and used as a serum.
This one was another hit – and the design on the front of the package? That's what the sheet mask actually looks like, so there's some entertainment value here as well!
And I'm absolutely in mourning because I used the last of my Dr. Jart water-max sleeping mask and it's out of stock at Sephora. This stuff saved my dry skin last winter. I might have to go hunting!

Lifestyle Prescriptions® Health Coaching
Taking responsibility for our own health, one step at a time
Lifestyle Prescriptions® Health Coaching with Eileen is not just about helping you make changes to lifestyle habits that will help you live a happier, healthier life.
You'll be introduced to a revolutionary and completely refreshing approach to health that will helps you discover how specific stressors, emotions, beliefs and lifestyle habits trigger your symptoms.
Whatever your beliefs are about symptoms and dis-ease, health care is evolving. A new paradigm is emerging based on a deeper understanding of not just our biology and physiology, but also our body-mind-social connections. It can be described as a healing and personal development science.
Lifestyle medicine research leaders such as Dean Ornish MD, Mimi Guarneri MD and Elizabeth Blackburn MD, amongst others, have shown that comprehensive lifestyle modifications can stop and reverse up to 80% of chronic symptoms. (Yes, read that again! )
This research focused on weight loss/obesity, gene expression, cholesterol, prostrate cancer, blood pressure, heart disease, depression, diabetes and more.
When Lifestyle Medicine walks hand-in-hand with the Art and Science of Self Healing, we witness a beautiful marriage in the future of preventative healthcare. In his book The 6 Root Causes of all Symptoms, Johannes Fisslinger (Founder of Lifestyle Prescriptions University) says:
"Self-Healing means that there's a natural tendency of our organism to auto-regulate and move towards balance. Our job is to take conscious actions, to take the necessary steps to:
- Remove whatever is blocking the self healing process
- Strengthen our body's vitality, health and wellbeing."
How can Lifestyle Coaching with Eileen help you?
The key to self healing is awareness of your root cause(s). As a Lifestyle Prescriptions® Health Coach, I'll help you find the WHY behind your symptom(s) and you'll discover the specific stress, emotion, belief and lifestyle habit contributing to your dis-ease process; then we'll use 6 highly effective and evidence-based Lifestyle Prescriptions® Self-Healing Techniques and Protocols to remove blockages and unlock your body's natural healing intelligence.
I've seen pain, eczema, IBS, headaches, anxiety, fear, depression, and many other symptoms disappear. Self-Healing doesn't mean doing nothing while you sit back and wait. To the contrary, it means removing everything that's blocking your body's natural auto-regulation process and increasing vitality and self-healing mechanisms. You have to take action, and that means creating new habits.
You only need to improve 1% a day and that's do-able, right? Think how much improvement you can make over a few months or a whole year.

- The Golden Gate Bridge: The international orange-colored attraction with its Art Deco spires and memorable stories offer quite the visit to newcomers to the city. With over 10 million visitors to the bridge every year, it's worth checking out.
- Alcatraz: The former island-prison of Alcatraz holds an extraordinary place in popular culture. True-crime buffs will recognize the prison as being home to such notorious figures as Al Capone and Robert "The Birdman" Stroud. There's both a day and night tour of the island, for those who feel a bit more adventurous!

Another local delicacy is a combination of oatmeal cookies, vanilla ice cream, and a chocolate coating to offer heaven in a dessert. Both dishes are a must-have while in San Francisco.

Oktoberfest by the Bay (September) The German heritage of many of the locals shows itself in Oktoberfest, a mirroring of the festival of the same name held annually in Germany. The festival is a three-day affair that showcases cultural activities like traditional Bavarian dancing, and of course, beer.

We are proud to be mentioned at the magazine "Elle Decor", in an article about candles you never want to light. Among them, we find three candles of Cerabella. We have to say that we are totally agree with this publication: We also like them very much without lighting them, although they are even more incredible then.

Cerabella presents an assembling of candles that will dress and decorate any event. A series of decorative proposals that allow us to enjoy the special, unique and unforgettable atmosphere created by candles.

A heady combination of the sea, salt and sun. The Mediterranean at its purest leaves its mark on Cerabella's candle, which is much more than a journey into the heart of the Costa Brava. An adventure and a summer dream in search of sea urchins—called uriços by locals.
Uris is made up of, on the one hand, a lantern shaped like a sea urchin, and on the other hand, an elegant candle with a sinuous shape that fits inside. As the candle is lit, a spectacular play of lights and shadows begins.
The inside interchangeable candle, once has been used up, you can replace it with another one while keeping the sculpture intact. An innovative decorative idea available in six colors and three sizes to suit different spaces and styles.

Géomètre Collection està formada per quatre famílies de productes, totes elles inspirades en l'origami, l'art japonès de fer figures de paper mitjançant plecs geomètrics.
El resultat són unes espelmes molt originals i espectaculars. Un homenatge a la creativitat i al disseny que sempre caracteritzen les espelmes de Cerabella, i també una picada d'ullet a la calma i a l'equilibri, que segons la filosofia oriental, ens aporta la pràctica de l'origami.

It's time to lose yourself in the forest… without having to leave the city! Sometimes it isn't necessary to go far to get relaxed and enjoy the natural world. In Cerebella's shops we enjoy our weeks with a very particular landscape. Our chandlers surprise us with a new collection of candles for autumn-winter season. Their candles are inspired by pinecones. It's perfect for those who love the countryside. Do you fancy having a look in our small urban forest?

The history of wax is full of symbolism.
As candlemakers we have the fortune of making a product whose value is usually enriched by the significance that people gives to candles once they are lit: from the wishes that will come true when blowing out the candles on a birthday cake, to the countdown to Christmas of the candles in an Advent crown.
Since ancient times, one of the most common meanings related to wax was the sense of gratitude offerings operated by the ex-votos.
In Cerabella, we have recovered the 1862 moulds of our original ex-votos to make these wax sculptures that bring to nowadays home interiors such a visual strenght:

Richard Florida wrote series of tweets on the recent news that Uber as 'poached' around 40 senior researchers from Carnegie Mellon University. CM has a fantastic reputation in robotics and automation research and is one of the leaders of work on autonomous cars. Uber has made no secret of its interest in automated cars in order to disrupt the 'poor immigrants get a foothold in a new country' market'. The article he was responding to sees this as a problem: Uber has made no secret of its interest in being a leader in the self-driving car market and is throwing its sizeable resources into hiring the best minds in the business. The fact that they set up a research office in Pittsburgh is testament to how great CM is at this. The MarketWatch and WJS article views this as an attack on CM and that by stealing away their top researchers they've weakened the university's robotics program. The point that Florida was making is that there is no reason to see this as a threat. Indeed, that this is the entire point of university research!
Now, before we get going talking about this, I just want to make two points. One, the real market for disruption by self-driving vehicles is the trucking industry not the taxicab market. Two, is anyone else confused about why a gypsy taxi dispatch company is valued at 50 billion dollars?
But, let's put that aside for now. What made me interested in this topic is that I'm currently reading through Christophe Lécuyer's brilliant book on the history of Silicon Valley. It's no surprise that one of the reasons for the emergence of Silicon Valley as a technology cluster was the interaction between local tech entrepreneurs, defence contractors, and researchers at Stanford University.
Stanford was a leading research location for the self-driving cars of the 1950s: microwave radio tubes and klystrons. The highest of the high tech. Varian Associates was the Uber of the mid 1950s, an high-tech, engineer-led company near San Francisco that was beating the pants off of its competitors like RCA. Its secret was hiring physicists with a great theoretical understanding of the basic science and pairing them with the skilled trades people drawn from the region's burgeoning defence industry.
Key to their success were their close linkages with Stanford. These connections went far deeper than just drawing on the tech developed at the university, they hired graduate students and directly funded relevant research. In some cases Varian "relocated its engineering staff to Stanford to reinforce the firm's close connection with the university's research programs" (p. 110)
The same thing happened when in the development of the transistor and microprocessor. The main developer of this technology, William Shockley wanted to hire a Stanford professor onto his company but the professor declined as he was more interested in his academic research. But over the next few years they "reproduced Shockley's laboratory on campus. As a result, Standard was probably the first university to have the capability of making silicon diodes and transistors" (p, 138).
So, what does this have to do with CM and Uber? From the university's view Uber is a threat to their research. They've hired away 6 PIs and it sounds like 30 odd advanced post-doc or phD researchers, which is a huge deal. Those researchers are taking hundreds of person-years of experience out of the university. CM can try to replace those PIs, but even if the new hires are of the same caliber as those who have left it will take them years to get their own labs up and running.
From Uber's perspective this a great thing. By locating their research office in Pittsburgh they've gained access to knowledge spillovers from CM for years but now thanks to the *ahem* ambitious valuation of the company they're in a position to hire on these researchers and become *the* world leader in self-driving cars. From a regional economic development angle, this is great too. Uber's advantage in this industry will grow, helping them create even more high-skill, high-pay jobs.
But the history of Silicon Valley provides some useful insight into this. Lécuyer's history helps me understand something that isn't much talked about in academic research on the role of universities in economic growth. In order of importance, here is the contribution of universities to the economies of high-tech regions:
- Producing highly skilled students who go on to work at local companies
- Acting as a magnet to attract highly skilled researchers to the region who then go on to work at local companies
- Knowledge spillovers from university research to local firms
- Academic spinoffs and commercialization of university tech
- Students spending lots of money on beer before leaving
- Proceeds from sales of CDs from student a cappella groups
- Sports?
A University's role as a producer of skilled graduates and magnet to attract skilled workers is their most important role in supporting economic development. Other things like knowledge spillovers and spinouts are secondary at best.
So, on one hand Uber's hiring of CM researchers is great. CM has acted as a magnet for attracting the top autonomous robotics people in the world and Uber is able to take advantage of that.
But by hiring away the PIs, Uber might have killed the golden goose. PIs with large grants and labs are great training ground for new highly skilled researchers. They attract top PhD students and post-docs and help them become world leading engineers and researchers. It's hard to know what the role of these PIs will be within Uber, but if they're not publishing or applying for grants it will be hard to attract the world's best researchers.
In many ways, history tells us that it would be better for Uber to support the PIs within their university labs. Give out large, undirected grants and let the researchers do what they do best. Give them lots of money to bring in more researchers and then hire the best of the best. Encourage spinouts from the university by being a early-stage customer and acquire those with the best product.
So, Florida is right that we shouldn't see this as an attack on the university because this is exactly what should happen. Local companies should hire the best talent that's produced at a university which in turn helps the region develop a stronger knowledge-based economy. But we should also be concerned that by poaching PIs, Uber has reduced the capacity of CM to produce and attract the world's best researchers which at the end of the day does a disservice to them, Carnegie Mellon, and Pittsburgh as well.


text: Valletta and Balzan meet for the Super Cup Henry Brincat Thursday, 13 December 2018, 12:00 Last update: about 10 months ago Danilo Doncic, Valletta coach, left, and Marko Micovic, Balzan mentor, with the Super Cup Valletta and Balzan will be meeting this afternoon at the National Stadium in the match for the Super Cup (Kick-Off 3pm). It is the annual match which usually pits together the previous season's champions and the Trophy winners. Balzan are taking part this year because Valletta won both the League title and the FA Trophy last season. So the Reds take part as League runners-up. Addressing a news conference yesterday morning, both mentors, Danilo Doncic of Valletta and Marko Micovic of Balzan, said this was an important annual fixture and both will be looking forward to see their teams triumph. Doncic said he was eager to lead the side to another Cup win. "It would be nice to add another Cup to our list. This season we are in very good form. We have won 10 and drawn one of our last 11 matches. In the process we have scored 36 goals and suffered only two. I cannot expect any better from my boys," he remarked. Despite having defenders Ryan Darmanin and Joe Zerafa not fully recovered from injuries, Doncic said this would be no problem. "In all probability I will have them on the bench from the start and will have Jonathan Caruana and Jean Borg as their replacements. These two players did well in the last two matches," he added. Doncic explained: "The arrival of Mario Fontanella and Bojan Kaljevic gave added strength to the front line which was now working well in comparison with last season when we were somewhat lacking in scoring goals. This is also because we have changed our system - we are now playing more offensive football." On the contrary, Micovic will have all players at his disposal. "We have no injuries and I can play with my best formation. Those injuries were probably the reasons why we missed out on some parts in the early part of the season. "The team is now combining much better and I am sure we will give mighty Valletta a very strong challenge. They are favourites to win, but I also believe that my players will be able to rise to the occasion. We all respect Valletta but we think we are also a complete team now. We consider this as another opportunity to win the first trophy for Balzan. I think my boys deserve to win a Cup." Micovic also indicated that in the January transfer window, Balzan may strengthen the side. "Although we are not among the title favourites, the season is still far away from its end. We will be trying to boost the squad for the rest of the season," he said. Balzan's Justin Grioli said he and his colleagues were looking forward to the match. "There is a Cup at stake and so we will be doing our utmost to win it. The fact that we will be playing against my former team does not change anything. I consider it as another match like all the others," he said. Valletta midfielder Rowen Muscat reiterated that this was another important match. "We are always hungry for a win and this match will be no exception. We are a team always in the hunt for more successes," he said.
