Enucleation of a pancreatic nonfunctioning endocrine tumor localized with intraoperative US and augmented reality
Epublication WebSurg.com, Sep 2009;09(09). URL: http://websurg.com/doi/vd01en2723
Pancreatic endocrine tumors (PETs) are uncommon but clinically challenging and fascinating tumors. Small, benign neoplasms are readily curable by surgical resection. This video presents the case of a 40-year-old woman with a tumor at the level of the pancreatic body. The patient's virtual reconstruction is used during surgery to help the surgeon pinpoint the lesion accurately. A laparoscopic approach is used.

Top Ten Popular Authors I've Never Read6:17 PM
I'm actually a little embarrassed by some of these...because, well, pretty much everybody else has read them.
I hate you guys. I am so jealous. Seriously.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Basically, lists. I love lists. They put up the Top Tens for several weeks in advance, and they're all book related!
1. J. K. Rowling Yes, I am aware that I'm a failure. Apparently, the Harry Potter books are amazing and I do want to read them. I just haven't gotten around to it.
2. Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight series and The Host. I really want to read The Host because I watched the movie and it was awesome. But, I'm a little wary of the Twilight series because of the HUGE amount of negative opinions on it. I plan on trying it out anyways though.
3. John Green *sobs* I'm sorry (My sins are unpardonable). I really want to read The Fault in Our Stars because there's a movie coming out and I've heard so many good things about it (the book).
4. Rainbow Rowell I can't tell you how bad I want to read Eleanor & Park and Fangirl. The covers are epic and unique, and it sounds like I would really identify with the female main character from Fangirl. Writes fanfiction? Check. Socially awkward? Check. I think Cath and I are meant to be bosom friends.
5. Markus Zusak There is also a movie coming out for The Book Thief (Is anyone else loving all of the book-to-movies happening?). It's a whopping 552 pages, but I want to muscle through it because of the good rep it has and because I want to. I'm very logical.
6. Richelle Mead Yes, yes, I know. This one's going to be a movie to. The girls look kick-butt in the movie trailer and the idea of half-vampires who protect the full-blooded ones is a really neat concept. The movie trailer is really what convinced me to read it (just like for The Mortal Instruments, which, yes, I have read).
7. James Dashner Karoline at As a Teen Writer had a blog post out where she wanted a few people to volunteer to write guest reviews for The Maze Runner. I thought it was neat and signed up, and that's how I discovered The Maze Runner. It sounds awesome!
8. Marie Lu The Legend series is another series that I just haven't gotten around to reading yet. The covers look delicious. The premise is really intriguing (Like almost every other dystopian novel. I feel like those dogs in Up! when they see squirrels).
9. Ally Condie I'm not really into books based totally on love and relationships and balloon hearts popping above the characters' heads (ew), but Matched and its cohorts stand out because 1) the relationships are chosen and 2) major cover love.
10. J. R. R. Tolkien I know I should have at least one Tolkien book checked off my TBR list but honestly the idea of tackling something that is known for its old and flowery language and is a classic makes me want to cringe. I don't like classics too often, but I feel like I should at least try Tolkien sometime.
If you're like me and you only have an iffy idea of what is counted as popular (What. I just read, I don't know, okay?), then you should Google (because it has all the answers) and check out the Goodreads and Amazon lists. The Amazon list is based on book sales so I would say it's pretty accurate (oh, and I searched 'young adult' novels) and the Goodreads list is based more on reader opinion.
19 comments
haha. I really enjoyed reading this post especially about how you relate to the main character of Fangirl (which, by the way, I highly recommend) because I completely concur. (Do you mind if I ask what you fanfiction username is?) and if it makes you feel any better I haven't read twilight or the book thief either.ReplyDelete
Whew, I feel so much better now. We can wallow in shame together :DDelete
Haha thank you! I had loads of fun writing this. My fanfiction username is SkyeDancer (wacky, I know) *snickers at self* and it's only for onedirectionfanfiction.com... I need to make excuses for my writing now :) I was going through a period where I guess I was getting frustration out by dropping the f-bomb every few seconds. Blegh. It's awful. I don't really write fanfics anymore.
By the way, I love the name of your blog! I wanted to be an introvert aka follower really bad but the Google Friend Connect thing won't work :(
Thank you so much! and I will work on seeing if I can get it to work.Delete
hi! okay I don't really know what's wrong with it right now and I'm still trying to figure it out but if you still want to follow it, there are two little orange boxes in the upper right corner and if you click those it works. I would love to have you be the first introvert on my blog!Delete
Sounds awesome :D Thanks for letting me know!Delete
Oh gosh, my list is SO similiar to yours. Except I have most definitely read Ally Condie, and I hate to admit it, but there's few books I was quite as bored with as Matche d(you might like it though, tooootally don't take my word for it). I DO love JK Rowling, even though I'm not finished her series yet, oh, oh! I just got Fangirl in the mail. Soooo excited. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
O.O Cait. Have you been spying on me? XD They are pretty similar, huh.Delete
I guess I'll just have to wait and see and read it. To be honest, The Selection didn't really live up to my expectations....it was a little boring. Now I want to read Fangirl even more!!
YES. I HAVE SAURON'S ALL SEEING EYE IN MY CUPBOARD.Delete
I KNEW IT.Delete
Great TTT! I love your blog, it's amazing! Thank you so much for stopping by mine :)ReplyDelete
Your blog isn't too bad either ;) I love the design. Gosh, thank you so much! (I'm grinning idiotically right now. I do that when my blog gets complimented.)Delete
Great list! I haven't read Rainbow Rowell, Allie Condie, or J.R.R. Tolkien either.ReplyDeleteReplies
We must band together and stay strong. *sniffles* We'll be okay.Delete
Thank you :) I didn't know if I would be able to get together ten authors I hadn't read...turns out it was easy (way to squash my reader's ego).
Lol quite a list. Let's see - I've read all the Harry Potter books and they're amazing! I still remember when I read the first one - I was so astounded by the world J.K. Rowling created that I pulled an all-nighter to finish it. My best friend and I read the 7th book together. Ah, brings back wonderful memories.ReplyDelete
The Fault in Our Stars is on my List-To-Read - I saw the movie trailer which looked awesome so of course I had to go get the book. lol
I love Twilight book 1 & 4-they are among my favorite books-the books are better than the movie. You should try the books anyway. I usually don't look at popularity or negativity-I check out the synopsis and covers and read what I like. So try Twilight. You might like it.
Ally Condie's Matched series is on my List-To-Read as well. Just gotta get to it.
I loved Vampire Academy when I read it-totally dig Dimitri. And the Lord of The Rings trilogy is one of my favorite movies so curiosity piqued, I did read the books.Replies
I've watched the first Harry Potter movie, so I guess I'm doing it backward lol. It's ridiculously hard to get a hold of a copy of HP at my library.Delete
Of course, you had to read TFioS! Awesome movie trailers do things like that.
And yay, a vote of confidence for the Twilight books :D I will eventually read them, despite the love/hate relationships it seems to make. I don't usually let popular negativity influence my choices either :)
We need more time (I speak for all readers). We just do. No time and a gazillion more books appear when you just finish a few. Eh, what can you do.
Hehe, I think a lot of girls dig Dimitri.
Did you like the Lord of the Rings trilogy?
Hey. Yes I liked the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but lord, it was a looooonnnng book lol. It's heavy reading but I'm glad I read it. I loved the movies so I wanted to see what the book was like :)Delete
Oh, man, looks like I have to dig a lot of graves to clear up the way to Dimitri *wink* lol
And Breaking Dawn is totally one of my favorite books - especially the third part :) I've read it twice lol
You're absolutely right, we need more time. I wish I could live forever just so I could read the thousands of books I want to.
I know. I'd love to be able to read books forever! I've always wanted to have a personal library. Like a room in my house specifically for books. My sister and I read so many of the same books (and like many of the same ones) so now we call dibs :P. It's awful because dibs means whoever called it gets to buy it first whether at our used-book store or brand new. Sometimes it takes ages for the dibs to go away *pouts*Delete
Better start digging. XD
Those are my greatest fear--huge books with tiny print and flowery writing. I'm gonna push myself to read it though. I WILL DO IT. Eventually.
Interesting list. I ADORE the HP books but my husbands straight up refuses to read them. On one hand it's crazy you've not read them but then again, J.K.R. keeps making stupid comments in the press so it's not as crazy.ReplyDelete
The Rowell books are AMAZING!!! You will probably love them.
The others...well, I don't have many nice things to say about them so I won't say anything at all. ^_^Replies
Haha. You don't even like John Green? *gasp* :D Urgh, yes, I want to read the Rowell books sooo bad. I saw a copy of Eleanor & Park at a bookstore recently and I would have stroked the cover but people were watching XD I wanted to get it so bad but...expensive.Delete
It's not so much the press and JK Rowling influencing me as much as it is lack of books at my library. *le sigh*
I love hearing from you guys! Tell me all the things. Talk to me. Except not in real life. I don't do that ish. #introvertlife

Please help really in need on how to loose weight really fast?
I really need help how to loose weight fast and ya i already no a diet but what kind or is their a even faster way. I really need to loose 35 pounds within in next month so some one help please and its for football

exercise up to an hour or more every day, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, drink green tea a great antioxidant for clearing out your system and good for your skin, also drink lots of water this will make it much easier for your body to burn fat.
(best answer please) i know what im talking about 🙂
November 28th, 2010 at 4:39 pm
To loose 35 pounds in 1 month is not a good idea. Look into doing a week cleanse. This will help get rid of the waist that is in your colon. A typical cleanse can expell 10 to 15 pound of waste from your colon. It's crazy how much crud is stuck in our colons. You don't want to work out while doing a cleanse. There are a lot of products out there that you can purchase. Stop by your local health food store and ask what they would recomend.
I do a cleanse once a year and I have lost 10, 13, and 15 pounds. It amazing. You will have moreclarityy, energy, and feel fantastic.
Good luck and have a great foot season,
November 28th, 2010 at 5:10 pm
losing weight for football? I knew a dude who weighed 280 and gained 20 pounds for football. He missed tryouts and ended up loosing about 120 pounds after that. So don't stress.
You are going to have to work really hard to lose that fast. Run everyday. You burn "your weight" x 10 everyday without exercising(by doing normal stuff talking, chewing, digesting etc.. So make sure you take in less than that number of calories. Then add exercise to speed up the progress. It take 3,500 calories to make a pound or lose a pound. If you go to the only question I have asked someone name "Gabe" has explained it a little better. So go there. Eat eggs, salmon, almonds, drink lots of water, veggies, fruit (limit), any protiens . crunches and pushups are always good. Dumbbells or benching would be good for muscle but that wouldn't be "losing weight" because muscle weighs more than fat. Hope that helps. =)

Review: Evernight by Claudia Gray
Bianca wants to escape.
She's been uprooted from her small hometown and enrolled at Evernight Academy, an eerie Gothic boarding school where the students are somehow too perfect: smart, sleek, and almost predatory. Bianca knows she doesn't fit in.
Then she meets Lucas. He's not the "Evernight type" either, and he likes it that way. Lucas ignores the rules, stands up to the snobs, and warns Bianca to be careful—even when it comes to caring about him.
"I couldn't stand it if they took it out on you," he tells Bianca, "and eventually they would."
But the connection between Bianca and Lucas can't be denied. Bianca will risk anything to be with Lucas, but dark secrets are fated to tear them apart . . . and to make Bianca question everything she's ever believed.
Source: Won from June (Thank you!)
My Thoughts:
Upon picking up Evernight, I didn't know what to expect. Maybe in the back of my mind, I expected something like Twilight or Vampire Academy. But when I started reading, I found an addicting novel. Claudia Gray wrote smoothly with words freshly dripping with the emotions of Bianca. I adored it. Reading her lines gave me a sense of enjoyment that I haven't found in other books. She weaved the story with tension and surprise, bringing together Lucas and Bianca in the midst of guilt and lies.
Bianca was pulled out from the world she knew – from her home, her place, her school, and her friends. And when she's enrolled at Evernight, she didn't fit in. I guess this is understandable since Evernight gives her a feeling of uneasiness. Bianca is probably the most unvampiric vampire that I ever read about. She doesn't seem like one to me until her inner vampire unexpectedly surfaces. And when it did happen, a deep hunger strikes her since, giving her fire that burns her heart.
Lucas is one of the few students that don't fit in. He assumes the role of a protector, looking out for Bianca and warning her about Evernight Academy. His hot temper and his strength is a risky combination that gets him in fights. But I guess when you have a mom like Lucas did, who has ingrained in your mind that people are divided into two: predator and prey, you will probably end up like him. He softens because of Bianca, feeling something so strong that makes him forget his being and his purpose.
The other characters were amusing as well. Bianca's parents were both endearing teachers. And I really liked the way Bianca's mom bounced on the balls of her feet when she gets excited. To me it was something so human. And of course, Balthazar the centuries old vampire is swoon-worthy. I hope I'll get to see more of him in Stargazer, the sequel.
Although it took quite a while for the author to show the vampire in Bianca, I found myself not caring about it. She writes too well that I realized I was simply reading for one purpose only: to enjoy myself. And I did. But the author did make up for the slowness with a thrilling and heart pounding race that leads to a hopeful ending.
Evernight is an addicting vampire novel that follows Bianca as she witnesses the merging of truths and lies, the good side and bad side of being a vampire and the surfacing of her thirst for blood and for love.

I rated this the same! I can't wait to read Stargazer, apparently it's better. Great review :)ReplyDelete
Nice review and way to go on your blog award from June...she is the best...ReplyDelete
I reviewed that novel too. It's over here: http://kateevangelistarandr.blogspot.com/2010/04/everrnight-by-claudia-gray.htmlReplyDelete
So you read the book and you knew she was a Vampire. I didn't know that which made the big super twist in the middle of the book so good!ReplyDelete
I was always wondering who are the Vamps there and then woohoo it was Bianca !! Awesome this twist was alone all the stars worth!
Then, the twist at the end with Lucas was also pretty good, so I perfectly agree with your 4 star rating!!
Mrs. Vanquish, I was quite confused. Honestly, at first, I thought the same thing Lucas did: that Bianca was a human baby "adopted." But then I realized that she wasn't really that scared of the Evernight types.ReplyDelete
Thanks guys!
Hi Precious.. Congratulations on your award from June!!ReplyDelete
I was totally shocked about who the vampire was. It was an awesome twist and so unexpected. I loved that! You didn't waste any time digging into the series Precious. Glad you're enjoying it.ReplyDelete
This is pretty much what I thought about Evernight. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Personally, I thought the two sequels were even better! :)ReplyDelete

Council candidates outline positions at LBOR® and Chamber Forum
By MARRIE STONE and BARBARA DIAMOND
The Laguna Board of REALTORS® and the Chamber of Commerce hosted the first candidates' forum of the 2018 election on Thursday before an involved audience in the City Council Chambers.
Candidates Peter Blake, Sue Marie Connolly, Ann Christoph, Toni Iseman, Sue Kempf, Cheryl Kinsman, Lorene Laguna, Judie Mancuso, Allison Mathews, Paul Merritt, and Rob Zur Schmiede were given two minutes for opening statements before Realtor Frank Hufnagel posed the first of five questions of consequence to the community. Elizabeth Bates announced last week that she is no longer a candidate although her name remains on the ballot, because she missed the cut-off date to have it removed.
What would candidates do about parking in Laguna Beach?
Incumbent Zur Schmiede, nonprofit CEO Mancuso, and political volunteer Mathews recommended adding parking to ACT V.
Businessman Merritt opposed meters at 1000 Steps Beach, concerned they would drive tourist parking into the neighborhoods, a problem incumbent Toni Iseman said could be dealt with by limiting parking in the off-highway streets to three hours and ticketing offenders.
Art Gallery owner Blake said he would dump the Village Entrance Park in favor of parking. Connolly agreed with Blake.
Landscape architect and former mayor Christoph said voters should decide about parking at the Village Entrance, which has been discussed for about 20 years, and she disagreed with Merritt about the loss of parking spaces, something the Coastal Commission would not fancy.
Kempf recommended more peripheral parking and increasing parking rates downtown until people won't pay the price.
Businesswoman Lorene Laguna and former mayor Cheryl Kinsman favored improved technology, such as credit card meters.
How and why will candidates vote on the one-cent sales tax increase to fund undergrounding?
This is a major issue to be decided by a vote of the people in November. The audience included Village Laguna Elder Arnold Hano, who supports the increase and monitoring new technology, and increase opponent Jennifer Zeiter, founder of Stop Taxing Our Property (S.T.O.P). Seven of the 11 candidates agreed with Zeiter. Kempf, Connolly and both incumbents support the increase, although Iseman indicated she fears the increase will not pass.

Candidates speak on issues
Do candidates support the proposed updated historic preservation ordinance and believe that inclusion on the Historical Register should be voluntary for property owners?
Planning Commission hearings on the proposed ordinance have been rancorous on more than one occasion. However, as Christoph pointed out, inclusion on the Historic Register has always been voluntary. The question should have been about voluntary inclusion on the inventory, she said.
However, all of the candidates except Christoph and Iseman favored voluntary inclusion on the Register.
Blake was applauded when he said that a structure older than 50 years does not make it historical.
A special one-issue council meeting on the proposed revised ordinance will be held on Sept 18.
What do candidates think about Laguna's reputation as the most difficult municipality in which to build and what can be done to improve the Design Review process?
Blake said the process is rigged to block construction. Property rights have been eroded, and he would like them restored, he said.
People ought to be able to remodel their homes, according to Connolly.
Christoph supports the Design Review process as protection for applicants and neighbors. She does believe that preparing for a hearing is onerous, difficult and time consuming. Merritt agreed it takes too long to get a project built. And it's too expensive, added Mathews.
Kempf said the expenses before getting to a hearing are one of the biggest complaints.
Lorene Laguna was hearing the same thing. One of her neighbors spent $80,000 before a spade touched the ground or a nail was hammered.
The process needs to be simplified, said Kinsman.
Mancuso said the process is dysfunctional. She supports term limits for members of city boards and commissions.
Blame the city, not the board, said Iseman. She believes there is too much development going on in the city.
How would candidates handle the homeless of Laguna Beach?
Lorene Laguna recommended enacting a panhandling ordinance.
Kinsman and Blake said put more boots on the ground. However, Blake is not optimistic about stopping the problem, which he said is ruining downtown.
Zur Schmiede and Mancuso want surrounding cities to step up to the plate. Zur Schmiede said Laguna will benefit from legislation that requires surrounding cities to provide shelter beds. There is money available at the state, county and federal level for homeless projects, according to Mancuso. Kempf recommended creating a housing trust to build permanent supportive housing on county land.
Merritt however, opposes seeking grants. He said they are trapdoors leading to condos and apartments for meth and heroin addicts.
Mathews, who volunteered to work with the homeless before moving to Laguna three years ago, agreed addiction is a problem, but the veterans with PTSD must be helped. "We owe them," she said.
Iseman suggested finding shelters in other cities. Connolly said the city should send the homeless to Costa Mesa.
Christoph prefers working with the county to find housing.
The forum concluded with closing statements
Blake: "Village Laguna stands in the way of this town becoming special. Look at the candidates in their pockets. Vote for a change."
Iseman: "I shop online at Christmas. Why? It's easier. Make shopping in town easier and residents will shop here. Wrapped and ready to mail in town would make it easier to get over the Amazon habit."
Mathews: She wants transparency, vibrancy and livability in town. She doesn't like the fact that the city's firefighters and police officers cannot afford to live in Laguna.
Merritt: He agrees with Mathews. "It is impossible for people who work in town to live here," he said. He supports undergrounding, but wants to find another way to fund it.
Mancuso: "Unfinished business never gets finished," she said. "That's my goal."
Zur Schmiede: "The council is a nonpartisan body and should stay that way…it is easy to take shots at a council that works hard, without knowing what that council is up against."
Kinsman: "I am here for one reason. Money. I don't want to leave my sons in debt."
Lorene Laguna: She supports town hall forums, so residents can talk and interface with elected officials. She also opined that the community must guard against spending on consultants without review.
City Council Candidate Forums: One down, six to go

by Chandler Burr
Anne Rosenbaum leads a life of quiet Los Angeles privilege, the wife of Hollywood executive Howard Rosenbaum and mother of their seventeen-year-old son, Sam. Years ago Anne and Howard met studying literature at Columbiashe, the daughter of a British diplomat from London, he a boy from an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn. Now on sleek blue California evenings, Anne attends halogen-lit movie premieres on the arm of her powerful husband. But her private life is lived in the world of her garden, reading books.
When one of Howard's friends, the head of a studio, asks Anne to make a reading list, she casually agreesthough, as a director reminds her, "no one reads in Hollywood." To her surprise, they begin calling: screen-writers; producers, from their bungalows; and agents, from their plush offices on Wilshire and Beverly. Soon Anne finds herself leading an exclusive book club for the industry elite. Emerging gradually from her seclusion, she guides her readers into the ideas and beauties of Donne, Yeats, Auden, and Mamet, with her brilliant and increasingly bold opinions. But when a crisis of identity unexpectedly turns an anguished Howard back toward the Orthodoxy he left behind as a young man, Anne must set out to save what she values above all else: her husband's love.
At once fiercely intelligent and emotionally gripping, You or Someone Like You confronts the fault lines between inherited faith and personal creed, and, through the surprising transformation of one exceptional, unforgettable woman, illuminates literature's power to change our lives.

Two years on from their devastating 'The Head Which Becomes The Skull' Californian doomsters Daxma (pronounced Dahk-ma) unleash a career best with the 'Ruins Upon Ruins' EP. Their first release for Blues Funeral Records, it might look like a stop-gap since it features just two songs but the reality is somewhat different. Each of the featured pieces stretches beyond ten minutes (one even fills a full quarter of an hour), meaning that, combined, the two riff laden offerings actually have a running time that's almost as long as various rock LPs from the late 60s.
Tag Archives: stoner
GIANT DWARF – Giant Dwarf
Every once in a while, a band comes along that sounds almost exactly like their logo and album artwork. This is one of those times. With a sound that falls somewhere between heavy psych and stoner rock, Perth's Giant Dwarf deliver a world of fantastic riffs on this debut album. These guys have so obviously realised that it can be more effective to take influence from others and do that well, as opposed to presenting an odd mish-mash of more original sounds but end up with a record that's going to be perhaps quite marginal. It's resulted in a release that's full of belters that fall somewhere between classic 'Dopes' era Monster Magnet and the more focused Queens of The Stone Age – pretty much guaranteed to please most listeners who loved stoner and space rock in the late 90s…and still find themselves craving some deep fuzz.
HIGH PRIEST – Sanctum EP
Formed in 2016, Chicago's High Priest mix doomy metal and heavy blues sounds in a way that'll be guaranteed to please fans of 'Americas Volume Dealer' era Corrosion of Conformity as well as those who've made it all the way through the particularly lengthy 2CD edition of Jerry Cantrell's 'Degradation Trip Vols. 1 & 2'. Here is a band that not only loves a heavy riff but truly understands that heaviness is at its most effective when applied to a strong melody. As a result, 'Sanctum' is a must-hear.
1968 – Ballads Of The Godless
At the very beginning of 2016, a doom-blues/stoner trio crawled from the wilds of Cheshire and into the ears of an unsuspecting audience. Amping the blues much further than most had dared, their debut EP presented a cornucopia of heavy riffs; their music a fuzzy love letter to metal's founding fathers. Almost twelve months later, that EP remained almost unsurpassed, marking a place among the year's finest metal achievements. A year on, the band signed with Black Bow Records – home to Bast and Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard – for a well received follow up.
2018's 'Ballads of The Godless' – released through HeviSike Records is, well, heavy. Sometimes drainingly so. However, if you've already been acquainted with the 1968 sound, the album brings forth plenty of superb riffs; riffs which, when dressed in the band's signature sludgy sound, have a timeless appeal. Timeless, of course, if you like Orange Goblin, Electric Wizard, Sloburn and Slomatics. As before, if you're able to see through the heaviness, it also includes some fine, blues tinged sounds that – thanks to a very old-fashioned production style – are a welcome nod to a world of fuzzy analogue grooves in an all too digital age.
PINK COCOON – Alienation
For the purposes of this studio recording, Montreal's Pink Cocoon isn't a band, but the work of multi-instrumentalist Zolla Marc. He's a man who cites a fairly diverse selection of rock and blues acts among his influences, ranging from the predictable Black Sabbath and Electric Wizard, to the more unexpected – quite often, metal based performers won't take time out to praise Robin Trower, especially when praise for Hendrix seems likely to get more attention. He also name-checks The Distillers and The Pretty Reckless among bands who've helped shape his playing and sound. For most stoner practitioners, the musical sphere starts with the first four Sabbath albums, moves into Hawkwind and then goes back to Sabbath's 'Never Say Die'…y'know, for variety, so while you'd be hard pushed to hear the influence from Brodie Dall or Taylor Momsen on this debut release, it's still thrilling to know Zolla isn't stuck in a musical rut.

Y'know, I've taken a certain amount of pride in being one of the few national critics who makes it a point to review every single one of WWE's The Marine movies. It is, for what it's worth, their flagship franchise and while they have all been pretty terrible up to this point, I'd be lying if I said they didn't hold a certain place in this critic's cold heart. Led by the G.O.A.T. of the WWE, Mike "The Miz" Mizanin, who has managed to only have his wife Maryse in one of his four outings, unexpectedly long-lived series takes a hard turn with The Marine 6: Close Quarters, and I don't think people are going to be prepared for it. I know I wasn't.
The Miz is back as ex-Marine now EMT Jake Carter, who has survived more shit post-military life than he ever could've seen while in uniform. This time Jake is teamed up with his former commanding officer, Luke Trapper, played by "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels while he still had some hair left on his head. Instantly, the whole dynamic is changed by giving Jake someone to banter with, and as anybody who has seen him on TV knows, the Miz and HBK are both better when they've got someone to jaw-jack with. But the lighter mood is a ruse, because this is one grim friggin' flick.
While checking in on a veteran who has been squatting in a rundown building, Jake and Luke stumble on an Irish crime gang, led by WWE's resident lasskicker Becky Lynch, who have kidnapped the daughter of a juror to force him to decide in their favor on a trial. Being who they are, the two military dudes can't just let it stand, and so they must fight to save the girl and save themselves.
It's a typically barebones premise befitting of these knuckle-headed movies, but this one works better than others because of the performances by Miz, Michaels, and Lynch. In particular, Lynch seems to be bringing her current rebellious attitude to the role, and I could see WWE maybe pushing her in a separate series of movies all her own. Michaels seems to be having a ball, more than he has been in those lame faith-based flicks he's occasionally popped up in. And together with Miz, they actually kick a lot of ass. To the betterment of director James Nunn, the action is mostly hand-to-hand which plays to his actors' strengths. Previous films have relied too much on gunplay, including the atrocious predecessor which Nunn also took the camera for.
The violence is more brutal this time around, with hammers, blades, and worse coming into play. While that's to be expected, the twists and turns this film takes are not. I don't think anybody looks to The Marine 6 for shocking swerves but they go all-out and defy what years of action movie tropes have taught us. I was left floored by it, and honestly I don't know where these movies go from here. The Miz may have finally hit his stride in this role right at the moment when it's time for the franchise to go in a different direction. Whatever the WWE decides to do, The Marine 6 has me curious about what comes next, and that's something I've never been able to say about these movies before.
Rating: 3 out of 5

Job Jobse has become a global symbol for Amsterdam's new wave of refined, late night house sounds. From behind the decks of De School and on the racks of Rush Hour, he continues a long history of dance music homegrown in the Dutch capital. Making his name as a DJ and club programmer, it's only natural that Jobse is ready to curate label releases. This week marks the first as he launches De Vlieger with local artist Karel. Synthwave by nature, this live-centric debut is evidence of the authentic vibe that goes way past sunrise on the floor of De School. Titled 'Life', the album reflects Karel powerful stage presence through restrained output.
"A desire to release music from friends had always been there, but only when I witnessed Karel's unique energy and his ability to write a perfect pop song in just a few lines, this desire took its first form."
With an early vinyl release available on shop shelves only, the teasers offer a quick look into this exciting act. A testament from Jobse himself, Karel's live show is a sight to be seen 'jumping and flying across the room. One moment hanging from the ceiling, the next taking a plunge into the night. His feet in the air and his head in the clouds.' Definite channels of classic post-punk vocals make the six-track album prime for listeners, dancers, and everything in between.
Set to influence a new type of sustainable ravers, De Vlieger's approach to a collectors release is inspiring to say the least. No doubt taking notes from friends and colleagues like Life and Death's DJ Tennis, Jobse's sound and curation are poised to make a global impact.

Medicine and the medical field continually evolve. Emerging technology, as well as the changing needs of society, causes shifts in the medical field. The allied health field is one area that is experiencing rapid growth and other changes.
What are the Employment Projections?
According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs in allied health are expected to grow by about 18% through the year 2026. The BLS estimates that the average employment growth for all occupations is about seven percent. Allied health is projected to have more than double the growth of other occupations.
The projected job growth varies by specific occupation within allied health. Certain fields, such as respiratory therapists, are predicted to grow at rates close to 23%.
The top employers of allied health professionals are predicted to be hospitals. But jobs should also be plentiful at skilled nursing facilities and outpatient care centers, such as urgent care clinics.
Why the Need?
According to some employment research, it is clear allied health is a continually growing field. A few factors are contributing to job growth including the following:
People are Living Longer
Advances in treatment have increased the life expectancy, which means people are living longer. In 1990, the average life expectancy was 71 years old. Today the life expectancy is about 78. Deaths from cancer have dropped, and continued research and clinical trials may improve prognosis even further. People that once died after an illness, such as a stroke, are surviving more often, which creates the need for more allied health workers, such as occupational and physical therapists.
Technological Advances are Creating Specialties
Technology, such as electronic medical records and robotic surgery, creates new specialties within the field of allied health. It's likely that additional specialties will emerge in the years ahead.
Physician Shortage
The Association of American Medical Colleges predicts there will be a shortage of doctors within the next ten years. Due to the shortage, physician assistants will be in demand. Physician assistants can perform a lot of the same duties as doctors and are often more cost effective.
Cost-Cutting Measures
Many healthcare facilities are developing ways to reduce costs. Cost-cutting measures may be needed due to a decrease in reimbursement from insurance companies and changing Medicare guidelines. Facilities may hire allied health workers that are more cost-effective than a nurse or doctor.
Types of Careers
There are dozens of allied health careers. Some of the jobs that are predicted to be in demand include:
- Physical assistants
- Occupational therapists
- Physical therapists
- Physical therapy assistants
- Ultrasound technicians
- Surgical technicians
- Respiratory therapists
- Medical assistants
The education required to work in allied health can be as quick as one semester or as long as four years. Salaries also vary widely depending on what allied health field you go into and the part of the country you live. With the projected growth, allied health may be a good career option for people interested in the medical field.

Self driving cars? No; this isnt some far off pipe dream, and it may be coming to a blockchain and road near you!
Cube sees a big change in transportation on the horizon and are looking to provide a blockchain-based solution. Self-driving cars are coming soon, with some Tesla's already having some degree of autonomy. Cube aims to provide a network for self driving vehicles, allowing them to communicate. The platform would increase efficiency and safety of autonomous cars. The future is now with Cube, learn about the Cube ICO with us!
What is Cube & what problem are they trying to solve?
Electric cars are turning to self-driving cars, and they are going to need some way to make sure they don't all crash into each other.
Our cars have essentially turned into computers. When you take it to your certified mechanic, you're likely getting a software update as part of your routine upgrades. These computers are going to become more and more important as we make the move towards autonomous vehicles. Yes self driving cars, just like Kitt.
Elon Musk's Tesla's already have a degree of autonomy, performing functions such as staying in your lane, braking, and highway driving. But the current reality is that most cars on the road are user-operated. This is going to change, and it's going to happen sooner than later. All tests indicate that the autonomous cars are safer and more efficient. Car companies are pouring money into research and development. This is going to be a big change.
And with any big change you need technology to support it! If every car is autonomous, well, those cars are going to have to communicate, and that's where blockchain technologies may come in.
That's where Cube comes in. Cube intends to create a network where autonomous vehicles can communicate.
Decentralization is really important for this — you do not want any party to be able to manipulate this data.
What are the market conditions facing the project?
Pretty unique project. Decentralization makes sense, you don't want anyone tampering with a ledger if something does go wrong. Blockchain can do that, imprinting all of this data into immutable blocks. If there's an accident, there will be a traceable record that leads to accountability.
I've seen IoT applications claim that they will be able to cover this. Maybe in the future, a more focused application is likely to win out.
Increased intrigue is going to turn into use cases. We've already accepted that the move to self-driving cars is going to occur. The blockchain provides the efficiency and security that this network needs to function.
Interesting question? What happens to all of the driving jobs when they become automated. Well that's a video for a different day…
Who is the team behind the ICO?
No red flags about the team! Actually some of the opposite. You're probably not going to recognize any names on the team. However, you will recognize the organizations where they have studied and worked. MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon; the top universities. Samsung and top companies as well. It's clear the team is competent. Is that a surefire way to success? Not necessarily. Does it help? Definitely.

(This blog entry is part of an ongoing musical adventure!! Click here to be a part of it!)
Ah yes…Meditation.
What's your relationship with that word? What just happened when you saw it? Did you immediately tap out of the conversation and go "that isn't for me"? Or did you think of all the wonderful times you've experienced meditation?
My relationship with meditation has been on and off and is quite a story filled with resistance and surrender, which I feel are the basic essence of meditation.
For those of us that may not jump at the thought of sitting still for 20 minutes, I have learned that there are other ways to meditate. If you want the full benefits of meditation, then it is extremely recommended you do the whole sitting-down and stilling your mind thing. Here's a few things I have done that have helped me enter into a state of mental surrender and inner peace:
- Painting. Art in general helps, and different artists would probably tell you different things they do that get you accessing higher parts of yourself without trying. I feel like pottery making would probably be extremely relaxing, being one with the clay, the humming of the machine, etc. I like sketching a lot, but there's more though that goes into it. For me, the feeling of the paintbrush in my hand, the way the strokes feel, the way the paint runs on the paper. Just thinking of watching the paint puts me in a trance-like state. I imagine sewing could do this for a lot of people, as following the needle and having to continue a pattern allows for the mind to be hypnotized.
- Touching. While this perhaps may be one of the least ideal ones to do, as it involves someone else, I have to bring it up. I am very much a toucher, though, like my cats, it has to be on my terms. I thoroughly enjoy touching others as well, however, and do love to be in a setting where I am free to stroke or caress someone without there being the tension or insinuation of sexual touching. It's what a friend of mine refers to as "good touch". I have given people back rubs, and between me enjoying giving, and allowing my intuition to tell me where they most need to be touched, there comes a moment where all that exists is me and that person's muscles, skin, tendons. Running fingers through hair, or tracing figures in freckles and beauty marks will usually also do this for me, though much less intense. This is another reason why I absolutely love having cats. Sometimes my cats and I get into a meditative state of petting, and you can tell by their purring and shameless belly exposing in my hand that they are in a state of total and absolute bliss.
- Jogging. Did I lose you yet? Hear me out. I'm not a jogger. I don't exercise unless it's doing things that don't feel like exercise, such as swimming and dancing. Those things I love to do. However –and this has been verified by MANY a runner– jogging does the same thing for a LOT of people. It gets their mind to stop; the cycling of thoughts seizes, worries hit the pavement and stay there…I would love to be a jogger and strive to be one when I grow up. In the mean time, consider one of your physical activities to be your meditation process. Yoga, (of course!!!) is a must to consider in this.
- Music. Ah yes, finally, the point. Playing music, singing, and listening to music are all extremely powerful ways to connect with your higher self and inner peace. Usually listening to music that has no words is the most helpful, as they are less likely to trigger thoughts. That being said, doing any of the above with the right music can also enhance the experience.
So my two questions for you are the following:
1. What music allows you to give your mind a full rest? Or, what music do you listen to while meditating?
and 2: what other things do you do to help your mind come to a full rest?
All my love,

If you're on the lookout for some new music suggestions then we've rustled up a selection of artists worth checking out. If you've got any suggestions for our Artist Noise selection, tweet us at @CloseUpPromo!
The New Coast
In case you've been living under a rock you'll know that CloseUp Festival is coming to London Town next month. Amongst the line up of exceptional artists are east-London based lads The New Coast. They're known for their distinct indie-pop sound that formed from a mutual love of American cinema and pop culture. Their music is mighty and infectious, and accentuates their talents, with the likes of 'Home' that has layered vocals set alongside a slow building guitar riff that meets an electro beat at the chorus , and then there's 'Sleeptalk', which again starts on a mellow verse building to the release of an impressive chorus. Their music is formidable and we're looking forward to what else they'll be releasing in 2018. Don't forget to catch them live at CloseUp Festival on the 12th May. Tickets are only £14.50 from DICE: https://goo.gl/QrPFHv
Friday the 13th may be considered unlucky for some but for MAUWE it marked the release of their hotly anticipated EP 'The Art of Letting Go'. The duo consists of Portia and Jay who have known each other for years, but after a meeting in Bristol, vowed to jam and within weeks, MAUWE was born. The EP debuts the pair's talented art of songwriting, singing and producing. It's laced with succulent R'n'B melodies, and contagious electronica that combined, makes for incredible alternative pop music. MAUWE's debut 'That's All', which to date has had over 3 million streams on Spotify, blends strings alongside synths to create a curiously sweet sounding verse that's followed on by a beat-dropping memorable statement of a chorus. It's the few-months-down-the-line-post-break-up song you never knew you needed but can totally relate to. The follow-up single 'Smoked a Pack' is a deeper laid-back electro offering that's an underrated pop sensation. Throughout the EP you'll find a stylish cocktail of alternative pop where Jay's vocals complement Portia's perfectly. It's slick and satisfying and is just the beginning of what this duo has to offer.
The Aces
Longtime friends, The Aces have been performing together since they were teens in their hometown of Provo, Utah. Their reputation spread like wildfire and were named as one of the top 10 bands in Utah 'you should know'. It was the release of their indie-rock banger 'Stuck' that earned them that break out of Utah and gain worldwide recognition. The upbeat track has racked up over 5 million streams on Spotify with its tropical sound and jaunty guitar riffs. The follow-up release 'Physical', which they described as the darker sister to 'Stuck', is another pulsating enjoyable pop anthem that sings of the adventures of having a physical relationship as a single young adult.
The quartet have worked hard in developing a unique indie-rock meets 80s-new-wave sound and most recently dropped their debut album 'When My Heart Felt Volcanic' that contains lively, captivating and relatable tracks such as 'Holiday', 'Fake Nice' and 'Lovin' is Bible', not forgetting the more somber offering of 'Hurricane' that shows off lead singer Cristal's vocals nicely. Keep an ear out for their return to the UK as these are not a band to miss out on.

Pregnancy in women can be accidental, unwanted, consisting of fetal deformity or threatening to life. In such instances, the pregnant female may choose to end her pregnancy by using abortion pills within the first 9 gestation weeks. The medication regimen is used to empty womb of fetal and pregnancy parts without application of surgical method. The medicines can be taken in privacy and comfort of home or in clinic. The FDA has approved medical pregnancy ending procedure, which grants a safe healthcare process to women in need.
What are the Abortion Pills?
Two types of tablets, anti-progesterone and prostaglandin analogue are used in performing function of terminating pregnancy. Mifepristone is progesterone blocker. It is taken on the first day, and then followed 2 to 3 days later with Misoprostol. Both are cheap abortion pill, effective for pregnancy termination. These are utilized in combination to terminate pregnancy, having more than 95% success rate. The woman begins to experience some cramps in abdomen, and passing blood clots, which turn to heavy bleeding expelling fetal remains.
The tablets cause womb contractions and detachment of fetus from uterine endometrial tissue, leading to instant relief from pregnancy. Fever and chills are also common, but if these symptoms last for more than a day, then the individual must seek medical care. To understand more about abortion pill cost and indications, speak to nearest healthcare advisor, or contact a hospital. The pricing of the tablets may be different for a woman depending on her gestation age, pregnancy tests, treatments etc.
What can a Female Experience?
In the medical regimen, the female can experience abdomen discomfort (diarrhea or pain) because of the contractions to uterus. The bleeding is alike the one in miscarriage, heavier than menstrual periods. Apart from these consequences, the person may counter nausea, dizziness, headache, body pain, fatigue etc. Many regions do not have suitable healthcare facility for pregnancy care or its termination, and women from such places can opt to buy abortion pill online. The medication procedure is cost effective, and gives complete independence to women, as they can buy abortion pill online as well.
Which is Suitable Dosage Format?
Before choosing medical pregnancy termination, the woman must read the medication guide, and talk to her doctor about suitable dosage. Normally, a woman can purchase 600mg Mifepristone, and 800mcg Misoprostol abortion pill online. However, those with blood pressure problem, cardiovascular disorder, kidney/liver disease, adrenal failure, uterine complications, may be either advised against taking the tablets, or it is best to plan a treatment in recommendation of a physician.
How Soon the Woman Recovers?
The bleeding does not remain heavy after the pregnancy has ended. It becomes light trickle or spotting, which may last for 4 to 8 weeks. The person immediately feels relief, and there is no cramping or side effects when the procedure completes. She must at least not have sexual intercourse for one or two weeks later to regimen. Also, using birth control is necessary to avert unwanted pregnancy even soon after termination, as fertility is reinstated. The female can expect menses to resume normally within 6 weeks of the regimen.
