The Intime Surgery Unit of Hospital Quirón de Valencia is formed by the doctors Víctor Martín González and José Enrique Martín González, specialists in gynecology and obstetrics
I didn't feel comfortable in my daily life. Since my teenage days, the size of la labia minora caused pain and discomfort, especially when wearing tighter clothing. Also, my sexual relations were being affected because of the shame of showing my intimate parts. I read on the internet about the existence of this kind of procedures, but it still took me several months to decide to consult. Truth is I should have done it sooner… Now, my life is much better than before the surgery! I was treated very nicely, I was perfectly explained the pros and cons and they inspired lots of confidence… The recovery time was just as I was explained (don't worry about its "looks" during the first weeks!)L. S. M.
I opted for them, after asking in several places, because of the confidence and security they transmit. They're gynecologists specialized in intimate aesthetics with an extensive surgical experience. My vaginal opening, after three labors, had become lax and it even seemed to me that "it was coming out." After the surgery, I am really happy with how good my sexual relations are being for me, and also for my partner. Please, don't be shy to ask about all this stuff and look for trustworthy professionals if you decide to give it a try. These guys are the best!M. S. C.
In the beginning, I had my doubts since I couldn't find any real specialist in this kind of problems. My labia minora were really oversized, as also was my vagina, so I couldn't feel as much as I did before my two labors. They inspired lots of confidence, who better than gynecologists who are also specialized in this field to make you feel confident about the outcome? It was just fantastic, I should have done it many years ago. You'll experience some minor discomfort for a few weeks, but it's really worth it! It completely changed my sexual life! I feel more confident with my looks and I enjoy it much more!L. C. V.

June 15, 1997Crime
By MARILYN STASIO
Red Sky at Night By James W. Hall If I Should Die By Grace F. Edwards Nightmare Syndrome By William Marshall Murder in a Cathedral By Ruth Dudley Edwards Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe: The Little Sister By Michael Lark
ames W. Hall does something brave in RED SKY AT NIGHT (Delacorte, $23.95), and if it doesn't entirely work, well, at least he got it out of his system. The brave thing Mr. Hall has done in his eighth thriller is to disable his series hero, a philosophical beach bum named Thorn, who lives in a shack on Key Largo and normally spends his time making bonefish flies. ''I believe in austerity, simplicity, the unembellished life,'' he says, oblivious of how insufferable that sounds to less noble life-forms. Although he's a first-class brooder, Thorn can't fathom the criminal mind that would break into a medical research facility to torture, mutilate and kill 11 dolphins. Only after Thorn is crippled by a spinal cord injury and treated by a sinister scientist at a pain clinic for combat veterans does he come to understand -- and learn how to fight -- that kind of evil.
Mr. Hall works hard at the horrific elements of his plot (the animal slaughter, the experimentation on human guinea pigs, the whole idea of healing sciences run amok), and he makes a dandy monster of an Amazonian nurse who thinks she's a Barbie doll. But these grand flourishes of sadism seem crude against the quick, raw studies of patients at the pain clinic. Sticking Thorn in a wheelchair wasn't such a hot idea, either. Instead of giving him insight, all it does is knock the stuffing out of him.
Vibrant scenes of Harlem give a warm, quick pulse to Grace F. Edwards's first mystery, IF I SHOULD DIE (Doubleday, $21.95), which features a savvy, style-conscious amateur sleuth named Mali Anderson, who takes a lot of pride in the neighborhood. Mali lives in one of the elegant brownstones on Striver's Row with her father, a jazz musician who remembers Harlem in its glory and can show you ''the exact spot on Lenox Avenue where the Golden Gate Ballroom and the Savoy and the Club Sudan once stood.'' Her nephew, a schoolboy who sings in a famous children's choral group, can show you where to get the best barbecue around town.
Mali's sleuthing chores begin after she witnesses the murder of the choir's tour director during a botched kidnapping attempt on a chorister. Although her investigative techniques are haphazard and inconclusive (information falls into her lap by sheer authorial contrivance), they put her and her family in mortal danger. But if Mali isn't much of a detective, she's a terrific guide to the people and places that make this neighborhood home. Whether she's shopping at the African market on 116th Street, meeting her lover for a cozy dinner at Emily's, playing the numbers at the beauty parlor or stepping out to a club, she knows where she's going and is proud of where she's been.
When it finally registered with me that, yes, Hong Kong would indeed revert to Chinese rule on July 1, I began my watch for a Yellowthread Street mystery from William Marshall to provide some perspective on the event. For more than 20 years, in 14 police procedurals set in a surrealistic dreamscape that might be taken for either Hong Kong or hell, Mr. Marshall has been mulling over the fundamental question ''Who am I and what am I doing in this madhouse?'' and coming up with outlandish answers. After science fiction spacemen and an apocalyptic typhoon, not to mention symbols of chaos like the Green Slime, what further inspirations might this visionary author conjure?
NIGHTMARE SYNDROME (Mysterious Press/Warner, $22) does not disappoint. Signs abound of a city slipping into an existential abyss: aged millionaires are literally rending themselves with fear, sleepwalking demons take over the police station and a 25-foot live bomb surfaces in the sewer. (''Ask not for whom the bomb tolls; it tolls for thee.'') For all this bizarreness, the novel takes a more introspective approach than earlier books in the series. Each in his own way, the precinct cops ponder what Chief Inspector Harry Feiffer identifies as ''a feeling of transitoriness and loss'' and eventually make their painful peace with it -- or, as Mr. Marshall would have it, at least the illusion of peace.
MURDER IN A CATHEDRAL (Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's, $20.95) isn't the best introduction to the delicious satirical mysteries of Ruth Dudley Edwards. Baroness Troutbeck, the boisterous, bawdy old party who pumps all the pep into these comic escapades, slips up a bit here. A strident libertarian who smokes, drinks, seduces the unwary of both sexes and insists on being called Jack, Lady Troutbeck does manage to put a match to the inflammatory ecumenical rivalries within a wealthy cathedral community. But Ms. Edwards makes such overblown caricatures of the religious leaders (whose factions run the dogma gamut from evangelical ''Bikers for Jesus'' to ''separatist feminist witches'') that poor Jack ends up agitating for values that went out with Queen Victoria. Happily, there are six other mysteries in this subversively funny series. Try them.
So I read comic books -- you want to make something of it? Not that ''comic book'' is the proper term, anyway, for a work of art like RAYMOND CHANDLER'S PHILIP MARLOWE: THE LITTLE SISTER (Byron Preiss/Fireside/ Simon & Schuster, paper, $15). With a text respectfully extracted by Michael Lark from Chandler's bitter, twisted and incomprehensible 1949 novel about a mysterious woman's hunt for her missing brother in Los Angeles, and with boldly executed illustrations, also by Mr. Lark, this stunning graphic novel is as visually alluring as the big, bad city after dark. There is nothing subtle here. Brooding behind the blinds of his empty office, the detective is washed in the deepest, loneliest shades of blues. A woman ''with a knife in her eyes'' is drawn in cutting angles. Jagged shadows crisscross the face of a corpse. Lies spill from blood-red lips. And the night outside is black, black, black.

Show Your Pride
June is PRIDE month, and the LGBTQ+ community is growing stronger every day. More brands than ever are showcasing rainbows and equal signs, donating to LGBTQ+ causes, and promoting their own Pride events and merchandise to show their support and connect with those who also support the cause.
This year, WorldPride come to the United States for the first time ever, remembering the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising.
Every year, we see more brands creating Pride Collections, including t-shirts, hats, and shoes for which all proceeds go towards non-profits that support LGBTQ+ rights. DKNY, J. Crew, Under Armour, Express, Gap and Calvin Klein all have their own Pride Collections. Nike, Reebok, TOMS, and Converse are just a few shoe brands that incorporate shades of rainbows and the colors of LGBTQ+ community flags. Playboy, a longtime supporter, sells Playboy Bunny Ears and shirts designed by queer artists that can be bought online or at New York City's WorldPride. Pepsi's "All For Love Pride Pack" includes 18 rainbow colored cans, Harry's "Shave With Pride" kit is back, and MAC's #MACLOVESPRIDE rainbow lipstick collection are just some of the non-clothing companies relaying their support.
Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat add Pride-themed hashtags, frames, and filters. While streaming channels, like Hulu, create dedicated sections for the LGBTQ+ community.
So, what I'm trying to say is…it's PRIDE Month!! Be proud of who you are, who you love, and what you believe in. This month is about loving yourself and others equally! If we can learn to accept one another for the beautiful, weird, loud, gay, straight, bi, fat, skinny, black, purple, green, people that we are, maybe every month can be like this too.

Texprint Council: new member Carlo Volpi
16 July 2017 by Roger Tredre in Alumni Stories, Fashion, Sponsors, Judges & Champions
Texprint alumnus Carlo Volpi, the Italian knitwear designer, has joined the Texprint Council which meets twice yearly to monitor and review how the charity is performing against its aims and objectives. We talked to him about his career and memories of Texprint.
Every year Texprint invites one alumnus to present his work at the entrance to the Texprint London event. For 2017 – a year when Texprint designs have been full of creative, contemporary use of colour – there could have been no better choice than Carlo Volpi.
The Italian designer, who was a Texprint designer himself in 2012, loves vibrant clashes of colour, not to mention stitches and textures. There is a joyous, celebratory, yet subversive element to his work. Fashion needs more designers like Volpi: upbeat, exuberant, happy. Barbara Kennington, honorary chairman of Texprint, says: "Carlo is such an original talent. We're delighted he brings his energy and passion to the Texprint Council."
Vogue Italia raved about Volpi's Autumn/Winter 17/18 collection, calling it "totally wild – a concentrate of youthful enthusiasm." Volpi himself has breathed in the irreverent energy of London and turned it into something special. "My point of reference is irreverence. I am interested in the parameters we use to define what we consider attractive or ugly."
Carlo Volpi – Autumn/Winter 2017-18 | Pitti Immagine Uomo
That is also expressed in his mix-it-up approach to construction, thinking nothing of combining traditional cable knit with heat-sealed polyurethane. For Volpi, rules are there to be broken.
Carlo Volpi Knitwear – Domestic Queen Collection, film by Josie Phillips
While Volpi has taken his own route, he advises young designers to think carefully before they start up alone. "It's a million times harder. You have to be completely dedicated because you will be tested. There's a view among some young designers in Britain that going it alone is like being a bohemian artist. The Italians are more workmanlike about it – they appreciate the importance of sales and marketing and business."
Volpi has had brilliant press coverage, but he warns: "It's great to get your name out there, but that doesn't necessarily translate into sales. It's important not to forget that and to focus on building a business."
Texprint back in 2012 was a whirlwind of networking for Volpi. "It was such a great experience. I was just out of college and Texprint kept me motivated. It helped me make contacts and meet people. And all the Texprint team were so nice and helpful."
In an interview after leaving the Royal College of Art, he explained the pleasure of knitting: "I've always thought knitting is a magic process, a bit like alchemy, where you can create these amazing garments with one strand of yarn and a pair of sticks. Anybody who loves knit will tell you this discipline is very addictive – it occupies my thoughts all the time."
Volpi was perhaps destined for a career in knitwear. He grew up near Florence surrounded by cones of yarn and knitting machines – his grandmothers both worked for a small knit factory. He initially studied textiles for a BA at Goldsmiths, University of London, then returned to education a few years later at the RCA.
Besides building his own label, he continues to collaborate with a number of leading brands, and is a consultant for the Research Area at Pitti Filati. An important milestone in his career came last year when Volpi won first prize in the prestigious Who Is On Next? Uomo competition, promoted by Vogue Italia and Pitti Immagine. The judges highlighted his "marked technical and innovative skill combined with a brilliant interpretation of Italian manufacturing traditions in a unique knitwear project with an international look."
A succinct summary of Volpi's talent – and the reason why he's a true inspiration for the new generation of Texprint designers.

Al-Sharqiyah North: various awareness activities for school students
The Consumer Protection Department in Al-Sharqiyah North has organized a lecture on the Consumer Protection Law and its Executive Bylaws for the students of Rokaya Primary School in Badia State, within the framework of the awareness plan aimed at spreading consumer and legal awareness among different segments of society.
The lecture included a number of topics, including the definition of some concepts and legal terminology, including: consumer, advertiser, supplier, commodities and service, circulation as well as a definition of the misleading advertising, the defect and standard specifications and others. The eight consumer rights and some legal provisions of the Consumer Protection Law were also explained, in addition to the definition of counterfeited and corrupt goods as stipulated in the Consumer Protection Law and its Executive Regulations and the mechanism for identifying them.
The department received a group of students from Al-Yahmudi School for Basic Education in wilayat of Ibra where they learned during the visit about the work of the department and a presentation was displayed that included a simple explanation of the process of purchase and the stages of purchase in a language suitable to their age and by displaying a number of images. The presentation also included a cultural competition containing some concepts related to consumer protection.

Just in time for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards, comes "Top ten signs your film is not going to win an Oscar", posted by Bob Sullivan at When Falls the Coliseum. My favorite reason is #3.
Lots of Oscar-related 'stuff' on the airwaves ... but my favorite remains the 31 Days of Oscar, which concluded tonight on Turner Classic Movies, a month-long broadcast of Academy Award-winning films - everything from Best Song or Best Editing, to Best Actor/Actress, Best Director and Best Film.
Speaking of 'Best Film,' one of TCM's broadcasts earlier this week was Cecil B. Demille's The Greatest Show on Earth, 1952's Best Film. It's a good movie ... but is it THAT good? The Wikipedia entry for the film notes that critics have labeled GSOE as perhaps the Worst Picture to have ever won the Best Picture award, beating out High Noon, Singin' in the Rain and The Quiet Man. Me? I'd have selected any one of those three ahead of GSOE ... but my ballot from the Academy keeps getting lost in the mail, or something.

You are dead on, Jeff. All three of those movies were better then Greatest Show. What were they thinking?
I haven't read the Wiki entry, but I suspect there must have been something behind the scenes going on that time.
- Jeff said...
George, there is. The Wiki entry notes that some critics suggest the spirit of McCarthyism was being felt everywhere ... including Hollywood. Me? All I know is what I like ... and what I like better!

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- For the first time in 17 years, the 12th-ranked Augusta State Jaguars brought back basketball to James Brown Arena, enduring a 67-53 loss against 20th-ranked Lincoln Memorial on Wednesday night.
The contest was the first played at the downtown venue in 17 years, dating back to ASU's 80-64 victory over Paine on Dec. 16, 1995.
The loss knocked the 12th-ranked Jags (6-1) from the ranks of the undefeated, while LMU improved to 8-1 on the season. ASU is now 0-2 all-time against LMU and 23-11 against nationally-ranked opponents under Dip Metress.
Lincoln owned the first half in almost every aspect. After winning the opening tipoff, the Railsplitters outscored the Jags 34-22 and shot 44 percent to ASU's 28 percent. They hit three more treys than the Jags and committed three less turnovers.
The Jags were 6-of-19, shooting barely over 30 percent after 10 minutes of play in the first. Freshman Tim Pierce stretched the Railsplitter lead by 10 with a 3-pointer from the left side. ASU had its lowest scoring half of the season by 14 points.
"We win and lose as a team and we have to learn from the loss," head coach Dip Metress said. "They came out with great energy and hopefully we can figure out what to do and learn a lesson without getting burned."
The Jags came out hot from the break, with Devon Wright-Nelson earning the first ASU points of the new half with a jumper and Harold Doby following with a layup. Wright-Nelson drained a 3-pointer from the left side three minutes later to bring it within eight. Wright-Nelson posted his second double-double in two consecutive games with 10 points and 12 boards.
Senior Jake Troyli led LMU with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Dustin Craig and Vincent Bailey combined for 14, adding seven each.
Freshman Josh Samuels led the Jags with a career-high 11 points in 13 minutes, with Doby matching his 11 points and adding eight boards. ASU lost the rebound contest 67-53 and shot 26 percent in the game to LMU's 44 percent.
"I was very pleased with (Samuels), he came out and competed," Metress said. But, tonight was a different atmosphere and a learning experience we need to address. Through miss communication and loose balls they beat us. We have to learn to handle the negative."
The Jags return from their holiday break on Sunday, Dec. 30 when they travel to Mount Olive for a 4:00 p.m., non-conference matchup with the Trojans.

The United States will lead the world in initial deployment and early adoption of autonomous vehicles, while Japan will simultaneously ramp up industry coordination and investment ahead of the Summer Olympics in Tokyo in 2020.
"Global sales of autonomous vehicles will reach nearly 600,000 units in 2025," said Egil Juliussen, Ph.D. and director of research at IHS Automotive.
"Our new forecast reflects a 43 percent compound annual growth rate between 2025 and 2035 – a decade of substantial growth, as driverless and self-driving cars alike are more widely adopted in all key global automotive markets," he said.
"Future mobility will connect and combine many different modes and technologies, and autonomous vehicles will play a central role," said Jeremy Carlson, principal analyst at IHS Automotive.
The future fleets of driverless vehicles will provide mobility services for anyone and anything, creating exciting and new opportunities for the automotive industry. Those who don't adjust to a changing world will unfortunately be left behind.
"IHS expects entirely new vehicle segments to be created, in addition to traditional vehicles adding autonomous capabilities. Consumers gain new choices in personal mobility to complement mass transit, and these new choices will increasingly use battery electric and other efficient means of propulsion."
The US market is expected to see the earliest deployment of autonomous vehicles as it works through challenges posed by regulation, liability and consumer acceptance.
Deployment in the US will begin with several thousand autonomous vehicles in 2020, which will grow to nearly 4.5 million vehicles by 2035, according to IHS Automotive forecasts.
Despite a later start, IHS Automotive forecasts more than 5.7 million vehicles sold in China in 2035 will be equipped with some level of autonomy, the single largest market for the technology, according to analysts.
Major markets in Western Europe will maintain industry technology leadership through the premium segment, with a little more than 3 million autonomous vehicles expected to be sold in 2035 and another 1.2 million vehicles in Eastern Europe. IHS Automotive also forecasts more than 1 million vehicles with some level of autonomy in the Middle East and Africa in 2035, with the potential for new and innovative business models and use cases.
In Japan and South Korea collectively, IHS Automotive forecasts indicate nearly 1.2 million vehicles will be enabled with some form of autonomous driving capability by 2035.
The IHS Automotive analysis also indicates that continued challenges to autonomous vehicle deployment include potential technology risks for software reliability and cybersecurity, though both of these are showing improvements as technology evolves and the industry recognizes the threat.
In addition, the implementation of local and federal guidelines and regulatory standards, as well as a legal framework for self-driving cars, continue to prove challenging.
"The future fleets of driverless vehicles will provide mobility services for anyone and anything, creating exciting and new opportunities for the automotive industry," said Juliussen.
"Increasing competition from the high-tech and other industries is accelerating the auto industry's autonomous software and cybersecurity development efforts," he said. Carlson added, "Those who don't adjust to a changing world will unfortunately be left behind, or will at least face a very different industry."

Kulantapitha, India – Alfred Ford's dream of setting up a massive Himalayan ski resort was resuscitated last week when a Himachal Pradesh High Court judge ruled that Ford's "Himalayan Ski Village" project can go forward.
The great-grandson of Henry Ford and presumptive heir to the Ford fortune suffered a major setback to his plan of building a luxury resort high in region when the provincial government in 2010 issued an order blocking the $350 million project. Last week's ruling by Justice Rajiv Sharma paves the way for the project to continue by invalidating the 2010 order.
The project is being pursued by Himalayan Ski Village Private Ltd. Situated between 7,500 and 14,000 feet of elevation at the northern end of the Kullu Valley in the state of Himachal Pradesh, where helicopter skiing has been available for the past decade. Developers hope to attract not only domestic Indian visitors, but also international skiers from the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, Japan, Korea, Australia and throughout southeast Asia. Plans in the works call for 700 hotel rooms and restaurants in an Indian themed base village, a 20,000 square foot convention center, an upscale spa and an entertainment/performing arts center.

I'm often asked, "How did you get into the assembly business?"
The short version is folks I met couldn't find a reliable company to assemble their products. This was already something I did as a hobby, so a hobby turned into a business ... a win-win for everyone!
The long version is during my college years, I worked for a retailer with working floor-models. Most of those floor-models were loose, wobbled, or squeaked — making them hard to sell.
I fixed the existing floor models — then as new models arrived — I assembled them correctly the first time. All our floor-models then worked as perfect as the model that would soon be in someone's home.
At that time, the retailer didn't offer in-home services such as delivery, assembly, or repair. The store manager suggested I consider doing just that ... in-home service. The idea was quite simple but had big implications. It would require me to quit, start a new business, in a new-niche market, right at the beginning of what would later be called the "Great Recession" — all while still in college.
Of course, since you're reading this, I followed through and Precise Assemblies was founded in 2006.
While growing Precise Assemblies, I earned a bachelor's degree in construction management, from Southeast Missouri University in Cape Girardeau, MO. During my senior year, I was chosen for a select group of students to help re-design one of the university's most congested areas, known as the Scully-Rhodes Plaza. That project was completed the year after I graduated.
Some will be interested in knowing I am a Dave Ramsey listener when time allows. Even before knowing who Dave was, Precise Assemblies was 'assembled' organically and debt-free!
Thank you for visiting my site! Let me know how I can help you. It's what I'm here for!

The fingers of God
The plant could not imagine how this would happen because right now life was unbearable.
"Yes," said the lark, "if you let faith speak, something will happen. Let faith speak!"
The rose was encouraged by the larks song.
It looked out over the sea and noticed the waves rolling back and forth. It was as if they said, "Hold on, hold on yet a little while."
Heavy clouds of rain covered the sun but there were several bright spots where the sun rays came through. The lark flew up into the sky again.
"Its Gods fingers you see there," it cried. "Thats what you call the rays that shine through the clouds. Gods fingers will reach you. Dont give up."
The rose was hopeful again. It would not give up - it would give thanks for life despite the great pain in the top shoot.
"Thank you for every joy I have had in my life," it said quietly and looked across the sea to the setting sun.

In a field of sugar beet in Switzerland, a solar-powered robot that looks like a table on wheels scans the rows of crops with its camera, identifies weeds and zaps them with jets of blue liquid from its mechanical tentacles. Undergoing final tests before the liquid is replaced with weed killer, the Swiss robot is one of new breed of AI weeders that investors say could disrupt the $100 billion pesticides and seeds industry by reducing the need for universal herbicides and the genetically modified crops that tolerate them.Dominated by companies such as Bayer, DowDuPont, BASF and Syngenta, the industry is bracing for the impact of digital agricultural technology and some firms are already adapting their business models.Herbicide sales are worth $26 billion a year and account for 46 percent of pesticides revenue overall, while 90 percent of GM seeds have some herbicide tolerance built in, according to market researcher Phillips McDougall.It is selling new GM crops tolerant to those herbicides too.

Dapper Laughs is back from the dead, unfortunately.
Dapper Laughs has been resurrected by Daniel O'Reilly who has realised life is boring without annoying people.
His 'Christmas Present' was a YouTube video titled 'Merry Christmas' were 'Dapper' is sent back to Earth because his work "isn't finished", yet.
He said: "What killed me off is you coming on Newsnight, cockblocking yourself wearing that turtleneck looking like a French poet."
In case you forgot, 'Dapper Laughs On The Pull' was axed by ITV2 after quotes from Daniel were causing offence, like "show her your penis, if she cries, she's just playing hard to get".

Introduction : the mooring tail is made of PP and PES fiber. When mooring by wire rope. It will need some requirements of stretch. So we use mooring tail to connect the wire rope. It will make load more uniform on the wire rope. The buoyancy of this rope makes the crew more efficient and safe in operation.
Stereotype braided rope has been widely used in ship, but now the situation is: during the berthing operations, cable once badly worn, crew members rarely to splice an eye splice continue to use:
First measured the size of the eye splice and writing position, and make the mark, and then spread out the rope into four shares, rub to consistent group 1 and 2 on the left side to rub to the same group 3, 4, on the other side of the plug in group 1, 2, pressure line with 1, 2, group into the strand of wear out at the same time, 3, 4 set of pressure in the rope be inserted again consistent with 3, 4 set of inserts to strand on wear out at the same time, also is to rub the consistent splice with inserted to the consistent by plugging the rope hole, this completes the beginning. Turn an eye splice 180 degrees, will be the first group of splice ropes along the was underneath plug cord plugged into a forward, reproduce the 3 groups splice line along the was underneath plug cord plugged into a forward, 2, 4 set of the above method is also repeat, at this moment, a flower, according to the above method and then insert the second flower, at least four flower plug, completed, with tied rope head quarter or tape rope tightening around, cut together. In the second and fourth groups, the above method is repeated once again. At this time, a flower is inserted, and then the second flower is inserted after the above method, and the four flowers are inserted at least.
Use and features of eight cable ropes:
Manufacturing: using polypropylene, polyethylene and nylon raw material through light spun yarn and twisted yarn.
Features: can float on water; Not afraid of moths, mildew, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance; The strength is high and the elongation is small.

My history and the basis of why I do what I do. Breaking the Pain cycle
I grew up playing competitive sports and loved it. But by the time I left high school, I was already plagued with old injuries and in pain more often than not. Pain was normal to me: A nagging low back injury from powerlifting, a chronic neck and hip injury from repeated abuse on the softball field, a quad that pulled every time I tried to sprint to the bases, TMJ issues, shoulder issues, and chronic GI problems that made me sick all the time. All of these things had built up over time and finally benched me---at age 20.
All the years of not listening to my body finally caught up with me. My life's passion for playing sports and competing ended because my body finally said enough abuse! At the time, I knew nothing of the importance of nutrition, hydration, healing modalities and rest. I had one gear: Push on through.
I viewed my body as a traitor. I took no responsibility for the mess I created. I cannot emphasize the devastation and powerlessness that I felt. My life and identity as I knew it ended. There was no hope that I could ever return to beloved activity or any resemblance to a normal life.
Playing the "What if" Game
After a long period of self pity anger and continued pain, I started playing a game I like to call "what if". What if I sought out different forms of massage, physical therapy, chiropractic care, healers, nutritionists, and trainers to see if they could help? What if I decided to be open to anything that will help me get better? What if I relentlessly pursued my health and stopped feeling sorry for myself? What if I changed the way I eat and maybe drank some water, would that help? What if I changed my mind and decided to fight for my body, not against it? What if I decided to believe and affirm I could get better?
Why I do What I Do
Next thing I knew, the "what if" game was working. I was changing, I was getting better. And I'd found a new passion: Healing. I wanted to help everyone I could to get out of pain like I did.
What I thought was a curse became a gift. From my experiences, I'd come to understand pain, the devastation that can go along with it, and what it takes to beat it. I wanted to help people change their path of pain like I did. I turned my competitive nature and drive with sports into something bigger, studying everything I could get my hands on concerning health and healing, taking every class and earning multiple certifications.
I now have over 25 years of experience as a therapist trainer and coach, with 18 different certifications in modalities as a therapist alone. Yes, 18! It was all part of my quest to find ways to help people get better or improve their game.
Here's the kicker, I have put all of the other modalities I am certified in on a shelf with the exception of Bowen Therapy or NST as some call it. Bowenwork embodies my passion quite simply. Because when it comes to results, nothing compares to it--period.
I have done Bowen Therapy exclusively the last 14 years, and am certified to the highest Master's level as well as an Associate Instructor.
Today I love all sports (in case you didn't get that by now), great nutrition, the outdoors, fishing, family, friends, work, and especially a good sense of humor! I would love to be part of your journey toward reclaiming your health or winning your next race. I will meet you where you are at and work with you to exceed your goals.

This child planter has a little boy or girl holding a blue fan. The child is sitting legs to the left side. The child's face is angelic with black eyes and straight black eye brows and jet black hair. The color of this pottery planter is rose and blue. The child is resting against a large white urn, the open planter, which has oriental letters on it. The piece stands 6 inches tall and 6 ½ inches long. The opening is 2 ½ inches wide. This sweet planter is marked Royal Copley 8 on the bottom in white letters. The base is glazed around the mark and has the telltale parallel ridge around the mark. The outside edge of the base is unglazed. The inside shows no obvious use wear just two black marks that look like spills of paint under the glaze. I see no crazing of this piece and has a nice shine on it. Royal Copley pottery was made from 1942 to 1957 according to my identification book and Kovels says 1939-1960. Made for dime stores these pieces were highly prized at a very reasonable price and always has a nice quality glaze. A very nice piece of pottery in excellent condition.

I am an associate professor of human development. I typically teach the undergraduate courses lifespan development, adolescent development, and parenting and a graduate course on behavior problems. My research area primarily focuses on developmental psychopathology, particularly the development of antisocial behavior during middle childhood and adolescence. My research also focuses on developmental change in parenting and parent-child relationship quality and factors that are related to such change. Some of my recent studies examined positive peer relationships as protective factors for at-risk children, predictors and outcome of parenting during adolescence and predictors and outcomes of emotion regulation during adolescence in high-risk, low-income families.

If I had a dollar every time I answered "What supplements should I be taking…?" I'd have zero dollars as I don't know, as I keep my body "supp-free". Yet we are keen consumers, as IBIS values the Australian vitamin and supplements industry at $1 billion, growing at a six per cent rate.
I scoured online and had a chat with FIT Nutrition in Sydney's CBD to try and figure out "What is all this stuff, and what should the average Joe and Jill at the gym be taking?"
Like food, supplements are as much at the mercy of trends and here's what at the top of the list amongst those who swallow the supplement message.
Creatine is naturally found within the body – 95 per cent of it is within muscles. A creatine supplement pushes water to your muscle cells so your muscles can receive more nutrients, so it helps with strength, bulk, and energy. Those that worry about that watery, bloated look that creatine might cause should complement its intake with clean carbohydrates.
Fat burners or pre-workouts
The theory goes, take pre-workout supplements (C4 is a popular brand) if you're looking to boost endurance and increase recovery between sets. Fat burners (such as Double Tap) contain Acetyl L-Carnitine, Choline Bitartrate, Green Tea and Dandelion Extract and claim to increase energy and metabolic rate while suppressing appetite.
Gut health
Supplements like GutRight apparently help detox your gut system and reduce inflammation from all the toxins within food, stress, and alcohol. Their advice is use for 10 days with a complementing diet.
Protein powders
There are umpteen flavour options from four protein sources: whey (from dairy) natural (can be from dairy, but they use natural sugars like stevia), vegan (rice, pea, or hemp protein), and collagen (derived from bone, skins, and cartilage of animals) and whey. Vegans use rice, pea, or hemp protein. Protein assists in muscle growth and repairs damaged muscles and tissues.
"Test boosters"
Aka products that are supposed to help increase testosterone levels in the body. These supplements are a natural source (therefore not an illegal steroid) extracted from amino acids and herbs. ATP Alpha Mars is a popular product that costs $89 (120 capsules, take four per day).
Are branched-chain amino acids and claim to assist in muscle repair and recovery. BCAAs are a group of three essential amino acids - leucine, isoleucine and valine. The deal is, through supplements you absorb these amino acids without the calories and sugar.
Hard facts
Seventy per cent of Australians are overweight.
The "supplements starter kit to lose weight and get fit" recommended is: one month's supply of a fat loss product, BCAAs, and a protein source priced at about $180 ($6 per day).
So, should you take all these supplements?
Some see snake oil while others see it as a necessity for the daily gym routine. Yet do beware. In the USA alone, an estimated 23,000 emergency department visits each year are attributed to adverse events related to dietary supplements.
It's your health
No matter the risks, consumers love supplements. Allied Market Research predicts the global sports nutrition market to reach $44 billion by 2021.
My opinion is what I prescribe for my own body. The only supplement with guaranteed results, every time, without failure that's supported by science and fitness "experts" is supplementing couch time for exercise and sugary foods with real nutrition like vegetables, fruits, and lean meats. Supplement energy drinks with water and proper sleep. And supplement a protein bar loaded with sugar with Tasmanian salmon (200 grams contains 46 grams of protein).
But who am I? It's your dollars, your medicine cabinet, your body, and your choice.
Passion for lifestyle change is the cornerstone for everything Michael Jarosky does. A Sydney-based personal trainer, he cajoled thousands of Executive Style readers to undertake his "Cut The BS" diet, and champions a charity weight-loss event, Droptober.

Professor Vetulani: Information technology can contribute to the concentration of power
Modern information technologies, particularly their integration with the human nervous system (cyborgization), can contribute to the concentration of power and domination over entire societies, warns Prof. Zygmunt Vetulani from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań.
Among the threats related to the use of modern information technology and artificial intelligence in the coming decades, Prof. Zygmunt Vetulani from Adam Mickiewicz University named cyborgization.
"If every person is chipped and their nervous system or even mind connected to a global network, one can imagine that sooner or later someone will want to control them" - the scientist believes. He adds that this way it will be possible to gain access to direct power over individuals and entire societies.
"These threats transport us to the universe of "1984", the Orwellian universe, where it turns out that you can have very powerful tools to control everything" - says Prof. Vetulani.
The scientist notes that chips placed in our bodies will not only monitor our psychophysical state, but also affect it. "This is both an opportunity and a big threat" - he says and adds that we should remember that the evolution of the world is not a closed and completed process. "We can certainly expect changes in social relations and the labour market as a result of transferring the burden of carrying out various activities to machines - robots" - says the scientist.
The large-scale introduction of machines during the English industrial revolution in the 18th and early 19th centuries caused mass strikes and protests, because many workers were afraid that they would be replaced by machines, the researcher reminds. "Societies somehow managed to come out of this largely unscathed, but whether they will survive the next step towards automation, obviously remains an open question" - he adds.
According to Vetulani, the democratic system in Europe is a result of the evolution of social relations, and these processes have not ended. "I have no doubt that in several dozen years the world will be completely different than today in terms of the social organization and physical appearance of people. It is difficult to imagine now how the IT systems and artificial intelligence will influence these changes" - he believes.

Due to the tough financial times, it is possible you were going to forgo this year's vacation or perhaps spend drastically less. This article will give you some great ideas for the budget-minded traveler.
When you are traveling to a foreign country, learn something about its customs ahead of time. It will help you avoid embarrassing mistakes in local etiquette. It can also help you understand and appreciate the culture a little better. In a way, you will be representing your country in a foreign land, so you would want to make a good impression.
When planning a trip overseas, be sure to check on any required or recommended vaccinations and speak to your doctor early about getting them. If you fail to get the shots that are required, you could become very ill while traveling. Alternatively, even if you don't get sick, you may have difficulty re-entering the country and may be forced into a period of quarantine to ensure you aren't carrying any diseases.
Whenever you travel, only bring what you need and travel light. You're more likely to have your things stolen or become lost if you do not have too much. Limit the amount of shoes you take.
Scout out coupons and deals. Before you set off for your destination, do a thorough Internet search for attraction and restaurant discounts. A month or two before you leave, sign up for a local deals flash site for your destination to score some great discounts. You can also look into purchasing a coupon book for your destination. Browse the coupons it contains and determine if the cost of the book will be more than made back in the money you'll save.
If you will be traveling to a foreign country where English is not the primary language, please make the effort to learn at least a few basic phrases, and make sure your pronunciation is as close as possible to the real thing. If you start out in THEIR language, most non-English speakers will quickly realize that you don't actually speak their tongue, and will meet you more than halfway in a helpful attempt to communicate. Starting out in English, on the other hand, sends the message that they need to communicate on your terms, which is impolite.
Explore new lands and expand your horizons. Try your best to always explore new places you haven't been to before. You only get one shot at life and you don't want to spend it visiting the same city over and over. So go out into the world and explore new places and live new adventures.
When taking a road trip, naturally you're going to pass things that look interesting that someone in the car may one to stop and see. But you can't always stop at every interesting spot or your trip would never end. Instead, give each member a "Stop Card." This way if something comes up that they want to stop and see, they can use their card, and the entire family can stop, no questions asked. You can decide how many each person gets, depending on how much time you have.
No matter the state of your finances or the economy, you don't need to stay at home this year. Follow the guidance outlined in this, in order to find ways to travel without breaking the bank.

Personal Bill of Rights
Social anxiety is so deeply intertwined with our self-esteem and how much we value ourselves. An interesting concept I found in The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook, by Edmund Bourne, Ph.D., is called your "Personal Bill of Rights". The idea is that we all have rights as human beings. Sometimes, we either forget or we don't realize that we have them because we weren't taught them as children growing up.
If we can realize these rights plus also learn to exercise them, then we can build a more assertive attitude. The result is we respect ourselves enough to be conscious of our basic human rights. Here is the list:
- I have the right to ask for what I want.
- I have the right to say no to requests or demands I can't meet.
- I have the right to express all of my feelings, positive or negative.
- I have the right to change my mind.
- I have the right to make mistakes and not have to be perfect.
- I have the right to follow my own standards and standards.
- I have the right to say no to anything when I feel I am not ready, it is unsafe, or it violates my values.
- I have the right to determine my own priorities.
- I have the right not to be responsible for others' behavior, actions, feelings, or problems.
- I have the right to expect honesty from others.
- I have the right to be angry at someone I love.
- I have the right to be uniquely myself.
- I have the right to feel scared and say "I'm scared."
- I have the right to say "I don't know."
- I have the right not to give excuses or reasons for my behavior.
- I have the right to make decisions based on my feelings.
- I have the right to my own needs for personal space and time.
- I have the right to be playful and frivolous.
- I have the right to be healthier than those around me.
- I have the right to be in a non abusive environment.
- I have the right to make friends and be comfortable around people.
- I have the right to change and grow.
- I have the right to have my needs and wants respected by others.
- I have the right to be treated with dignity and respect.
- I have the right to be happy.
Getting the Most From the Personal Bill of Rights
Dr. Bourne says that if you carefully read through this list everyday, eventually you will learn to accept that you are entitled to each of the rights enumerated.
Personally, my favorites are 15, 19, and 21. Which ones are your favorites and why?

Author: Aimee White
You are not helping yourself and you're definatly NOT helping your son but, enabling him. When you take care of someone, you have to push them to do thing's on their own. When you start to depend on someone, as a human being, you'll start to take advantage of the situation. With the elderly there has been many times where I have to say "You can do this on your own" and their response is "Well, so-and-so helped me...I CAN'T do it". I have to say "Yes you can. Give yourself more credit".
Your son is self medicating and you're ALLOWING it to happen. Your love for your son has become distorted. You think you can love him into getting better, but in reality, you're loving him into being codependent. It is not helping you nor him. You have to do tough love.
Do you think he thinks of your needs? No and he's not a child so, stop treating him as such.
Be more honest if you're truly looking for help. He has stolen from you, your loved ones to get his fix as you look the other way because when he's high, he acts "normal". What is normal to the spider is chaos to the fly. YOU are the fly.
I know for a fact you have searched high and low to help find a "cure" and have spent a lot of time and money to help "fix" your son. This is the brutal reality, he is an addict. He is sick. Not the kind of sick some soup can cure. You can tell me the sob story on how he got this way, but your story will get lost with all the other addicts stories and the people they've hurt while self meditating because the world is "too hard".
You've probably have blamed the doctor's when they tell you that you need to set up boundies and limitations.
It's so much easier to blame everyone else but, your son.
You get angry when they all have said "You can't help him until he's ready to help himself". You have probably thought "Oh he may be having a break through" when he breaks down sobbing saying that he's sorry. If he was truly sorry, why is this continuing? Because you're allowing it.
Do you think he's as embarrassed as you are walking around in public in withdrawal? No. He doesn't care. He doesn't care about being a waking advertisement for drugs and alcohol, he doesn't care that you're embarrassed. You're his ride, his cook, his maid.
Why should he seek help when you're doing everything for him? He has quite the set up going on. A free place to stay, roof over his head, a meal on the table and a purse or wallet he can get into to go get the drugs.
Are you REALLY seeking help or just venting about your life? YOU need help too! It's not just him. He has damaged your life and other's around him and he is a walking time bomb ready to go off at the drop of a hat.
If you really want your life back, go seek professional help. This will give YOU the tools you need to STOP enabeling him.
I'm sure you've watched enough intervention shows to know how this goes.
It seems like this isn't something new.
How do you let him choose??!?! He is an adult. That's why you need to seek PROFESSIONAL help instead of asking the world what to do about your son being a straight up, hard core addict. He looses things because he's on drugs.
These personal bill of rights doesn't extend to him. He is self centered and care for nothing else besides his next fix.
He will use being homeless to appeal to your motherly instinct. "WELL, I GUESS I'LL GO BACK TO BEING HOMELESS BECAUSE YOU DON'T LOVE ME"
That is usually one of the many lines they will go to to make YOU feel guilty for their actions.
He's not 5, he's 25. He's past the age for experimenting and mistakes.
He. Is. An. Addict.
Of course he still has a street mindset. Be honest with yourself about what is happening in front of your eyes. It's time to cut the apron strings. If he ends up homeless? Then, that's on him. Keeping him off the streets is enabeling him to continue doing drugs. Also be honest with him and what he does. The alcohol is there when he doesn't have drugs. He HAS to be high ALL the time.
Terrible thing's happens to good people all the time. You have ONLY TWO CHOICES. You either become a victor or a victim. True victims don't even like the label of victim.
Let's say your son was in combat, got severe ptsd from overseas, and cant cope with life, there are centers where he can seek treatment but, I haven't met many people with ptsd from war turning to drugs.
Maybe you've just spoiled him his entire life. Either way, he feels entitled to have you do his whims.
He has the energy to go out and get high but, doesn't have the energy to clean his own cloths. Why should he when you probably do it for him?
The more you "help" him the more dependent he will become on your help.
It doesn't seem like he has much going for him in terms of living a life you take pride in. He does NOT care what you think. It's an emotionally abusive relationship. If you don't do something for him, he will probably lash out and say "FINE THEN I'll just be homeless". Which makes you feel bad as a parent. But, you will resent him and he won't care. Do you truly think he cares what society thinks? No. We see people like you all the time. We don't pity you. Our children see a messed up man and he is their introduction to what drugs are. He is a walking advertisement and you're driving that advertisement all around town like a billboard. No, people have no pity. They find it sick because IT IS. They pull their children behind their backs to shield them from YOUR SON.
"Momma, why does that man look funny?"
-"Because honey, his mother didn't want him to grow up and be productive in society. She wanted him to stay a baby forever and she succeeded.
You want help? GO AND GET IT. You want your son to get better? STOP FEEDING HIS ADDICTIONS.
I mean, LOOK at your wording! "How do I CHOOSE to let him...."
Lady, if he wants to act like a child, TREAT him as such! "GO change your clothes or I'm leaving without you".
How hard is that? If you have a girl, you've said those exact words if her shirt/skirts were too short.
Tighten the reigns. You have to hide the money.
There is NO drug dealer out there that gives free drugs away. I find that statement to be a bold lie that you're not only telling yourself, but to the world. Also, people with higher intelligence with autism are twice as likely to become an addict. But, so do people like, me. Yet, I stay away from alcohol because alcoholism runs in the family. I also find it highly unlikely he has spectrum yet never has been diagnosed in 25 years. You're his caretaker are you also his Dr? Seems like it, since you allow him to go out in public strung out for people and children to see. Why are you embarrassed of him but, not yourself? You have to hold yourself accountable. The doctor's cannot assess him or his condition becuse drugs and alcohol plays a major role on how he acts. He has to be clean to get real help. I'm sure he's been in and out of rehab since he's been on the streets.
People who have aspergers, autism, adhd. Ptsd and people with high anxiety are all running candidates for addiction. But, it's up to them/me to decide to do drugs off the street. I know when I drink whiskey, I'm another person who would punch someone for looking at me sideways. Do I have a whiskey and coke in my hands? No! It comes down to having a choice. Every time he uses, he is choosing to do so. Every glass of alcohol he pours himself, he is not thinking about you. He's only thinking of himself. He's choosing to do this and YOU'RE choosing to allow it.
No Dr will test and treat anyone who self medicates. The reason is because drugs and alcohol effect everything from the inside out.
He has given up his right's when he became self reliant and depends on you. The better question you should be asking yourself and a psychologist is, "How am I able to have MY rights as I've given them up for my son?"
Want to be an actual parent? Lock him in his room and make him detox, then find a specialist that can diagnose him.
This isn't just your son's fault. You have played a major role.
You have abused your personal rights.
#4) I have the right not to take responsibility for people's behaviors, feelings or problems.
Any Dr will tell you, you NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your OWN ACTIONS. His behavior is the product of what you've allowed to happen. You've allowed your own flesh and blood destroy YOUR personal bill of rights while, still questioning what his rights are?
That's how distorted your thinking is
Straight up talk from

Budget 2007 policies promote a strong U.S. economy and support important domestic initiatives it also helps in improving schools and reduces the health care cost. In different policies of 2007 budget helped in fuel economic growth.
Our economy is strong because President signed major tax relief benefiting workers, families, and businesses in 2001 and 2003, so we should say thanks to tax relief, and the hard work of America's entrepreneurs and workers.
The economy behaved positively on a stronger note, which led to a rebound in the tax revenues with the President's tax relief that was fully implemented in 2003. In 2004 and 2005, Receipts grew by 5.5 and 14.5 percent. This increment played a significant role in bringing out the size of the shortfalls.
Unplanned spending in the year 2006 towards recover and relief efforts, mainly in response to hurricanes Katrina and Rita, may lead to a further dip in the deficit, below than the previously forecasted deficit. The shortfall come $423 billion or 3.2 percent of GDP.
In 2007, Budget again proposes a cut in non-security discretionary spending and also holds overall discretionary spending growth below the rate of inflation. Elimination of 141 Federal programs or major savings of nearly $15 billion is also proposed in the national budget.
The greatest threat to our fiscal comes such as Social Security and Medicare was due to the unsustainable growth in entitlement programs.
In mandatory savings over five years, the congress will achieve $ 40 billion on adopting the spending reduction bill. As a measure of planning over the next five years, the national budget of 2007 suggests some reforms that are supposed to accumulates an additional $65 billion in net mandatory savings. These savings also include reforms in Medicare field, which, is expected to promote competition and the delivery of efficient and high-quality medical care to the beneficiaries.
The 2007 Budget also provides different means for additional long-term reforms, in order to accommodate the finances of Medicare, at par with the available resources. The promotion of cause of Social Security's comprehensive reform has also find a place in the President' list so that the Medicare program's finances can be placed on a sustainable footing for future generations. At the same time, the benefits for those already at or near retirement will also be preserved.
The President has addressed the National fiscal challenges, which promote economic growth and restrain spending, by providing both, the near-term as well as the long-term policies. In 2006 from its 2005 level, the deficit is projected to rise and the policies in this Budget are projected to its downward trajectory after 2006 to return the deficit as well as trying to meet the President's goal of cutting the deficit in half by 2009.
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measured the size of the deficit, which is best assessed in relation to the economy as a whole. The deficit decreases up to 2.6 percent of GDP, or $318 billion, sharply below initial estimates in 2005. As a result of the economic expansion, the strength of tax receipts, which grew 14.5 percent or $274 billion, mainly contributed to the reduction.
Due in significant part to the cost of the Federal response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the deficit for 2006, which came after the Mid-session Review, is projected to be even larger than that prior estimate.
The level of tax receipt drives the strength of tax economy. Budget projects decline in the deficit to 2.6 percent of GDP, or $354 billion in 2007 and it assumes enactment of $50 billion in emergency for operations. Depending on the ground conditions, the amounts are uncertain at this time, in spite of the fact that additional funding beyond this level may be required before the end of 2007.

Recent figures by the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) show that the NHS spent £17 million on agency midwives in one year.
According to the union, spending has increased by 75.7% over two years between 2012 and 2014.
The £17 million the NHS spent on agency midwives is equivalent to hiring 115 full-time midwives.
Spending on agency staff has varied across 136 trusts in England, with one spending just £358 on agency staff between 2012 and 2014.
However, another trust spent £4,482,432 over the same period.
The figures were obtained by the Royal College of Midwives under the Freedom of Information Act.
Around 43 out of 130 trusts who responded to the request said they had used agency staff at some point over the last three years.
Responding to the findings, Director for Policy, Employment Relations and Communication at the RCM, Jon Skewes said: "These findings show that some trusts in England are heavily reliant on agency midwives to ensure they can provide a safe service and these costs are spiralling out of control year after year. This is an incredibly expensive and wasteful way to staff maternity units especially because over half the spend per hour that the trusts are paying is not going to the midwives but are on-costs going to the agencies.
"We have found that many midwives who chose to work for an agency did so because they were denied the right to work part-time or flexibly. In turn we have a ridiculous situation when midwives leave an organisation because they can't work flexibly and then are employed by the same trust as an agency midwife. This results in the trust paying 2.7 times more for that midwife, and over half of that goes to the agency."
