Like most of us, you are likely juggling family, work and other responsibilities. My clients often share that they appreciate that I am a therapist who brings a focused commitment to my support. My goal is not to keep you in therapy forever and ever, but to help you overcome the obstacles that are tripping you up in life and get you to a healthier, happier you!

I truly believe that we all have a gift inside of us and to help you grow yourself as a gift is my pleasure.
I would love to hear from you
I will get back to you as soon as I'm available
"I was in a very low place when I met Kim Litton. I had sought out help from therapists before with little results. This left me feeling hopeless until I met Kim. She has drastically changed my life and given me hope and endless support during my recovery. I thought my sex addiction would ruin my life forever but Kim has helped me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. For the first time in my life, I do not feel alone in my addiction."G.
"I first met Kim when she was the program director of the IOP I was attending. Right away, I felt a sense of ease talking to her, like she wouldn't judge me for anything I told her. As a former addict, she could understand why I felt and did things the way I did. I look forward to my weekly sessions with her as she provides me with guidance and validation as I continue along on my journey."J.
"You can change what you'd like but this is my truth without saying f*ck!!! I adore you Let me start by saying I have never written a testimonial for anyone or any company (and that includes a Yelp review) but I a compelled to write about Kim Litton. I have been in counseling of every type (Talk, EMDR, DBT, CBT, psychiatry and others) since I was eleven years old due to trauma. In my life I've experienced molestation, witnessing death, drinking, drugs, cutting, abusive relationships, and other traumatic events. Anxiety, panic, depression, self loathing all became a normal way of life for me. I am now 51 and after 40 years of trying to get help from healthcare professionals and it failing I believed I would have to live my life without having ever experienced inner peace, a healthy and loving relationship with myself or anyone else, and I wouldn't experience true joy. I accepted that I was unable to be helped and this was my lot in life. I was referred to Kim Litton who has saved me life. Kim is the first therapist I wasn't able to hide from. After 49 years this was the first time a therapist sat in their chair without pen and paper, without looking at the clock and looked at me with both the brilliance of a clinician and the eyes of someone who cared about my well being. As she would lean forward in her chair with both feet firmly on the ground she would sometimes say, "that's beautiful" and other times she'd say "let's get back to the stuff you don't want to talk about." Wow, that was hard to hear. I was so used to avoiding talking about my "real" issues and talking about "so tell me how was your week" that I was kind of shocked. Kim is a beautiful woman, soft spoken, with a slight southern accent. But more importantly she is a relentless fighter for her clients to get well. I have been able to cope "or not really" with my life as it was. With Kim's guidance I was able to hear, then understand, and now believe that I don't need to live like this. It didn't take many months or years of therapy with Kim for me to come to this overwhelming epiphany. What it did take was someone who is a master at her craft. I cannot put into words my deeply heartfelt gratitude to Kim for giving me the guidance to help get me to a place where I am willing and wanting to do the necessary work that already has and will continue to get me to a place of internal peace. My story may be different from yours, but ultimately we are seeking counseling to be able live a happier and healthier life. So yes I am writing my first testimonial, not only for Kim but for you. I am a living testimonial of the importance of having an amazing therapist. I am on the road to recovery because of the most amazing soul I've ever met, Kim Litton. I am and will forever be grateful."A.

Wood finishing course
Last weekend I taught a wood finishing weekend. These weekends are quite tricky to organise as to a good finish usually requires at least three coats and with the drying time on oil finishes especially this can be tricky to achieve. We looked at applying two different oil finishes, an acrylic lacquer, a wax finish and traditional French polishing. We also covered various methods of colouring wood and surface preparation.
The two basic elements of good finishing are diligent surface preparation and applying the finish in a number of very thin coats rather than a few thick ones. During the course we prepared a number of surfaces so they were perfectly smooth with no blemishes. This preparation starts with a very well sharpened and set plane, possibly a cabinet scraper if the wood is "difficult" and various abrasive media and methods.
Applying a number of thin coats is achieved in different ways depending on the finish. With an oiled finish such as Danish oil or a hard wax oil it involves applying the finish fairly liberally, but then, after a short period, being quite meticulous in rubbing off any residue thus leaving a fine increment of finish.
French polishing is basically a way of applying many, possibly hundreds of very fine layers of shellac to a surface, in this way the deep finish characteristic of French polish is achieved. The method involves rubbing the shellac polish onto the surface in small circular motions progressively across the surface using a rubber charged with the shellac. On a table top for instance, by the time you have reach the end of the table the finish at the start will be dry enough to start rubbing again at the beginning. In this way many thin coats can be applied in a relatively short time.
Relating to my previous blog on mindfulness. Last weekend I realised that French polishing is quite a mindful activity if done correctly. The repetition and the need to concentrate on the amount of finish being applied and the pressure on the surface mean you can become quite engrossed in the process. I can recommend French polishing as a relaxation therapy!

Thankyou, Chris.

The freed dove flew to the Rajah's tower—
Fled from the slaughter of Moslem kings—
And the thorns have covered the city of Gaur.
Dove—dove—oh, homing dove!
Little white traitor, with woe on thy wings!
The Rajah of Dacca rode under the wall;
He set in his bosom a dove of flight—
`If she return, be sure that I fall."
Dove—dove—oh, homing dove!
Pressed to his heart in the thick of the fight.
"Fire the palace, the fort, and the keep—
Leave to the foeman no spoil at all.
In the flame of the palace lie down and sleep
If the dove—if the dove—if the homing dove
Come, and alone, to the palace wall."
The Kings of the North they were scattered abroad—
The Rajah of Dacca he slew them all.
Hot from slaughter he stooped at the ford,
And the dove—the dove—oh, the homing dove!
She thought of her cote on the palace-wall.
She opened her wings and she flew away—
Fluttered away beyond recall;
She came to the palace at break of day.
Dove—dove—oh, homing dove,
Flying so fast for a kingdom's fall!
The Queens of Dacca they slept in flame—
Slept in the flame of the palace old—
To save their honour from Moslem shame.
And the dove—the dove—oh, the homing dove,
She cooed to her young where the smoke-cloud rolled!
The Rajah of Dacca rode far and fleet,
Followed as fast as a horse could fly,
He came and the palace was black at his feet;
And the dove—the dove—the homing dove,
Circled alone in the stainless sky.
So the dove flew to the Rajah's tower—
Fled from the slaughter of Moslem kings;
So the thorns covered the city of Gaur,
And Dacca was lost for a white dove's wings.
Dove—dove—oh, homing dove,
Dacca is lost from the Roll of the Kings!

Starring: Shilpa Shetty, Shiney Ahuja, Kay Kay Menon, Konkona Sen Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Sharman Joshi, Kangana Ranaut, Dharmendra and Nafisa Ali
Director: Anurag Basu
When one thinks of India, thoughts of an under-developed and rural landscape are dominant. While rural India has been showcased to us through films countless times, it's quite rare that we are transported into life in the bustling cities which house one-eighth of the country's population.
Within a city, each individual is constantly on the move. While it may seem robotic, each person has an objective and a story to tell. On face-value each person seems to be in their own little world. However, even amongst the chaos of a city, it's quite a small world, and this is exactly the note on which Life in a…Metro takes off. It follows the lives of nine people in a city and delves deep into the gut of their souls to project a panorama of emotions that are scattered around metro life. With Anurag Basu (Murder, Gangster) at the helm, UTV as producer, and Pritam as a music director, does Life in a…Metro land safely? To an extent, yes, with major blemishes along the way.
Shikha (Shilpa Shetty) is an educated and well-brought up woman, married to Ranjit (Kay Kay Menon). After marriage, she gave up working to have a child, despite the fact that she would be able to make more money than her husband. However, in the midst of her mundane lifestyle, she realises that work might not be the only thing she sacrificed. While she and Ranjit struggled to buy a house, it seems they have lost the will to make it a home. When Akash, a struggling actor, emerges into the picture, Shikha's cloaked desires begin to capture her body, mind and soul, until she is left with a gamut of emotions and a terribly important decision to make. Shilpa Shetty adds another feather to her cap after Phir Milenge. She will surely win accolades for her portrayal of Shikha's vulnerability, desires and longing. Shiney Ahuja suffers from a weak characterization and tries his best to uplift a bland character. Still, the impact is minimal.
Meanwhile, her husband Ranjit is no saint himself. Without much interest in his wife, he has been having an affair solely based on sex with a co-worker named Neha (Kangana Ranaut) for the past two years. As the head of a call centre, he works his magic by promoting Neha at every chance possible while she fulfills his sexual needs. Unfortunately, all relationships, no matter how seemingly simple, come with strings attached and Neha begins to feel the urge for real love. Kay Kay Menon is brilliantly wicked as Ranjit, and manages to make you itch with anger. Kangana Ranaut disappoints this time around. She's good with her facial expressions, but the minute she talks, you cringe. She desperately needs to work on her pitiful dialogue delivery. It must be noted that her new look is fantastic and she looks every bit the part.
Also working at the call centre is Rahul (Sharman Joshi), a man who knows what he wants and will do anything to get it. By renting out his flat to his boss, Ranjit, he continues to climb up the corporate ladder. Love seems to captivate him as well, as he constantly pursues Neha, not knowing that she is busy with his boss in his very own flat. Sharman Joshi is endearing but gets lost in the crowd. Still, an able performance and a side of him we haven't been exposed to before.
Shikha's younger sister, and Neha's roommate, Shruti (Konkona Sen Sharma), is in a dilemma. She's twenty-eight, nearing the big three-zero, and she's still a virgin. It seems as if love finds everyone around her, but continues to evade her life. Looking for a suitable match, she meets Monty (Irrfan Khan) on an Internet portal. However, once meeting him, she quickly dismisses him, attributing her rejection to his quirky and almost frightening behaviour. As she tries to pursue another relationship, she eventually bumps back into Monty and feelings she refuses to admit to spurt from her heart. Konkona Sen Sharma is an absolute delight to watch with a flawless performance. Shruti's character is among Konkona's lighter roles, and she passes with flying colours. Is there anything this actress cannot do? Irrfan Khan compliments her beautifully and makes you chuckle quite a few times. Their chemistry is magical.
Last but not least, there is Shikha's Bharatnatyam teacher, Shivani (Nafisa Ali). Now an old woman, a love from her past, Amol (Dharmendra), enters her life after years of separation and re-kindles the romance they once had. All the while, both know that life could leave them at any given moment; yet, they seize the day and indulge in affairs of the heart. Dharmendra is lovable and still looks good despite his age. Nafisa Ali isn't bad, but nor does she stand out.
Greed, jealousy, determination, vulnerability, passion, desperation, love, regret—these are a sample of the emotions that come along with living in a city. These emotions are what director Anurag Basu tries to portray. Though his storyline his fantastic, the execution is a large let-down.
Though the characters seem well-defined, there comes a point where you realise you don't know much about them beyond their relationships. It would have been far more interesting if the characters were fleshed out better. For example, the character of Akash played by Shiney Ahuja was completely half-baked. Ditto for Neha. At the same time, Shikha, Ranjit and Shruti are written beautifully and you can't help but feel like you know them. Each protagonist is flawed in some way, and this is what works in Life in a…Metro. The characters are real, the stories are interesting and nothing is sugar-coated, which is an absolute breath of fresh air.
What is so disappointing about the film is that the subject matter is so innovative and strong that there was potential for a path-breaking film. If the script was better, the film would have been outstanding. While the screenplay is efficient, the dialogues by Sanjib Datta drag the film down. In some pivotal scenes, the dialogues are so jarring that you are thrown off, thereby decreasing the impact. For example, Shikha mouthing the lines "I feel like a slut" to Akash registers no impact whatsoever, and rather, sabotages a wonderful scene. In addition, Akiv Ali's editing needed more work. Some scenes are cut off at the wrong points and leave the viewer feeling rushed. Particularly the film's ending, which is completely abrupt and deserved better closure.
Still, one cannot say that Life in a…Metro is a disaster of any sort. Yes, like many other 2007 films, it contains multiple characters and showcases different facets of their lives. At the same time, it charters new terrain because each of the characters are connected and in this aspect, Basu deserves applause. Not to mention, he extracts some beautiful performances from the principal cast, and creates some magical movie moments. Shikha and Akash's intimate encounter is aesthetically shot and places amongst the finest parts of the film. Each moment between Shruti and Monty is a delight to watch, whether it's their introduction or their scenes during the climax. The scene between Ranjit and Shikha where each confesses to their actions is equally as fantastic.
Though Pritam has formulated a brilliant soundtrack that gels well with the mood of the film, Anurag's tactic of bringing Band Metro on-screen during each song does not work. Yes, it's innovative, but it only hinders the storyline further and interrupts the flow. Especially after the first couple songs, you are sick of it. The fact that the audience started groaning each time Band Metro appeared says enough in itself. Bobby Singh's cinematography is pristine for the most part, but it is obvious during a scene or two that the background outside the cars is not real.
Life in a…Metro succeeds in mapping the emotions of a panorama of characters bound by the harsh realities of a metro, in this case Mumbai. From this point of view, it works, as it captures the essence of Mumbai strikingly and better yet, realistically. However, the dialogues and editing leave much to be desired and dampen the spirits of what could have been one of the best films of 2007. Still, Basu's stamp is apparent and the spirited and nuanced performances uplift the film.
By the end of the film, you are satisfied. Yet, there is something missing. It is this something that leaves you wishing Life in a…Metro offered something more. Either way, it's worth watching a film that explores the depths of jealousy, the impact of vulnerability, the power of greed and ultimately, the sensation of love amidst a chaotic, insensitive and alluring city—one exactly like those that millions around the world call home.

In April 2020, NSWP launched a global survey to understand the impact of COVID-19 on sex workers.
Thus far, the survey has received 156 responses from 55 different countries out of which 9 responses were from 4 countries – Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and El Salvador – in the Latin America region.
"It's been two months since the pandemic hit Latin America and a lot of sex workers are now starting to work again. But the conditions that they work in are even worse than before. They are more vulnerable, and their rights are not respected. COVID may not kill us, but hunger and desperation will kill sex workers.
COVID has been really hard on us but at the same time, it's been a challenging opportunity because COVID has unified many, many organisations in the whole region. The states of Latin America need to listen to what's going on with sex workers and what they want." – Plataforma Latinoamericana de Personas que ejercen el Trabajo Sexual (PLAPERTS), Latin American platform for sex worker-led organisations and NSWP Regional Network
Government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic
"[Sex workers] have been suffering a lot of violence, not only from the police but also from the clients."– PLAPERTS, Latin American platform for sex worker-led organisations
Like many regions around the world, countries in Latin America have introduced new measures and restrictions in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19. Respondents from Colombia, Ecuador, and El Salvador reported that their governments had implemented social or physical distancing measures and self-isolation for the vulnerable. Respondents from Ecuador and El Salvador reported quarantining certain areas or people.
"[They] do not allow women to use sex work but neither do they help us with food and money to cover other expenses." – Asociacion de Mujeres Trabajadoras Sexuales LIQUIDAMBAR, El Salvador
All respondents to the survey – from Colombia, Ecuador, and El Salvador – reported the closure of brothels, bars, massage parlors, and crackdowns in areas known for street-based sex work. These measures leave sex workers with nowhere safe to work and/or no way of earning money to survive.
With the removal of their primary source of income, sex workers should expect to receive the same government support as other workers. This, however, is not the case.
Though respondents indicated that income support schemes and emergency funds are available for the general population in Colombia, Ecuador, and El Salvador, these schemes are not available for sex workers. Emergency food packs and essential supplies were reported as being available to sex workers only in Colombia, and Ecuador.
"Food and vouchers have been assigned to only a minimum part of our country." – Asociacion 22 de Junio, Ecuador
When asked why sex workers are not being included in government support schemes, respondents raised issues relating to discrimination, stigma, and a legal landscape that criminalises sex work.
"Our society is indifferent and its lack of response to our sector makes us clearly see inequities, insensitivity... SEX WORK IS NOT RECOGNISED AS WORK." – Sex worker organisation, Ecuador
In addition to a global economic crisis, access to healthcare has also been severely affected by the ongoing pandemic. Respondents from Columbia, Ecuador, and El Salvador reported reduced access to condoms and lubricants, harm reduction services, HIV treatment, and to STI testing and treatment.
"We are invisible, we do not have access to health unless it is COVID-19 today is when they are doing more raids on us." – Sex worker organisation, El Salvador
How is the sex worker community responding to this crisis?
"What we have a shown during this pandemic is that the sex workers are very resilient, and they have been very well coordinated with other organisations they have worked with." – PLAPERTS, Latin American platform for sex worker-led organisations
As the governments of Latin America abandon sex workers, the sex worker community are rallying together in order to survive. Responses from Colombia, Ecuador, and El Salvador reported that the local sex worker community had established emergency funds and emergency food supplies. These supplies, however, are limited and do not reach everyone in need.
"In our organisation what has prevailed is the self-support among us to buy food and deliver to the most vulnerable women such as the elderly, single mothers, those with greater vulnerabilities ... but many more are missing to do this." – Sex worker organisation, Ecuador
"Food kits have been given but in small and reduced quantities that do not reach all people." – Sex worker organisation, Ecuador
When asked what more the sex worker community needs during the COVID-19 pandemic, a sex worker organisation from El Salvador summed up the thoughts of respondents succinctly:
"We have expenses to cover, we are hungry. We need mask / gloves / alcohol gel. We want to be included." – Sex worker organisation, El Salvador
Sex workers want to be included. They want to be included in social protection schemes and given the same rights as other workers, giving them the best chance of surviving this global crisis.

Chemicals in brain that make honeybees more likely to sting discovered
A team of researchers from France and Australia has identified the neurological mechanism that underlies honeybee aggression in response to threats. In their paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the group describes their study of honeybees and what they found.
Most people know that if you disturb a beehive, it is not just the guards that come after you, it is generally most of the bees in the hive. But what neurological mechanism is involved in causing the other bees to attack? This is what the researchers with this new effort sought to learn.
The team started with the knowledge that bees secrete pheromones as a means of communication—and prior research has shown that one of the main components in honeybee pheromones is isoamyl acetate. Suspecting it likely served as a trigger, the researchers exposed bees in their lab to the substance and then measured their brain chemicals to see what happened. They report that the bees experienced an immediate rise in dopamine and serotonin levels.
As part of their study, the researchers also tested bees from four hives that served different roles—guard bees from two of the hives in particular showed a greater desire to sting than those from the other two hives when stoked. The researchers found that the two more aggressive bees had higher levels of serotonin in their central brains, suggesting it was the chemical responsible for elevating aggression.
Further tests showed that exposing bees to isoamyl acetate caused an increase in production of both dopamine and serotonin levels in the central brain, which in turn led to an increased desire to attack and sting. They also noted that serotonin levels were even higher in brain parts used in controlling aggressive behavior such as the sub-oesophageal zone and the optic lobes. The researchers also found that the more of the pheromone the bees were exposed to, the more aggressive they became. They also found that reducing serotonin levels using an antidote caused a reduction in aggressive behavior.
The researchers suggest their findings indicate that they have identified the neural mechanism involved in inciting bees throughout a hive to attack after guards outside identify a threat.
More information: Morgane Nouvian et al. Cooperative defence operates by social modulation of biogenic amine levels in the honey bee brain, Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences (2018). DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.2653
The defence of a society often requires that some specialized members coordinate to repel a threat at personal risk. This is especially true for honey bee guards, which defend the hive and may sacrifice their lives upon stinging. Central to this cooperative defensive response is the sting alarm pheromone, which has isoamyl acetate (IAA) as its main component. Although this defensive behaviour has been well described, the neural mechanisms triggered by IAA to coordinate stinging have long remained unknown. Here we show that IAA upregulates brain levels of serotonin and dopamine, thereby increasing the likelihood of an individual bee to attack and sting. Pharmacological enhancement of the levels of both amines induces higher defensive responsiveness, while decreasing them via antagonists decreases stinging. Our results thus uncover the neural mechanism by which an alarm pheromone recruits individuals to attack and repel a threat, and suggest that the alarm pheromone of honey bees acts on their response threshold rather than as a direct trigger.

Lee Min Ho Plastic surgery Before and After Pictures
Korean fever had become a new trend in recent years which influence many countries' culture. Their dramas, movies and music are very popular not only in Asia but also some regions in America and Europe.
Who doesn't know Lee Min Ho? The handsome Korean man is quite popular after starring several different movies and dramas, including Gangnam Blues and Faith (The Good Doctor). He has also won 41 awards for various things.
As an added bonus, his good looks have hypnotized a lot of women.
At 29 years old, he has accomplished quite a lot already. Along with his acting career, he has also made a name for himself in music. He has released two albums, one in 2013 and one in 2014 along with five singles, released in 2009, 2013, and three in 2015.
Lee Min Ho has been on-again, off-again with Suzy Bae for years, but that could very-well change soon. There are rumors that he might just be the next boyfriend that Taylor Swift might go after.
Obviously, that is simply speculation, but after Taylor's recent break-up with Tom Hiddleston, all sorts of rumors are flying around.
However, the 27 years old actor was said to have gotten some cosmetic surgeries to enhance his look.
This news shocked many people. It brought controversial debate among the fans and even the haters. Was the cosmetic surgery true?
Here are some procedures that many medias reported about Lee Min Ho. They believe he got a nose job and lip surgery.
Lee Min Ho Nose Job
Medically, this procedure is called a rhinoplasty. This is a kind of procedure which reconstructs the shape of nose.
Lee Min Ho was said to have gotten this procedure in the past, before he became popular.
You can take a look at his before and after image. In the previous photo, you will see his nose looked bumpy with bigger tip and wider bridge. And, in the next photo (after), he got his nose reshaped. The structure of his current nose looks different. It's narrower with a more pointed tip.
There are many different ways to reconstruct the nose, with various results depending on what route you go.
There is an open nose surgery. This grants the most access to the nose and you are able to change the most. It gives access to the nasal structures in a way that the other types of surgery simply can't.
A closed nose surgery is another way to do a rhinoplasty. With this surgery, there are only minor incisions done to make minimal changes to the nose. This could be narrowing a certain area a small amount.
Finally, a tiplasty is just what it sounds like. This makes changes to the tip of the nose and nothing else. It's not very invasive and all of the incisions are done on the inside of the nose, making them not visible.
Of course, there are always downsides to doing a surgery like this. Sometimes, the surgery might not go exactly as planned and your nose could look much different than you were hoping. It doesn't always go according to plan.
Numbness can happen after a surgery like this. Most of the time, it will go away after a time, but sometimes, it just doesn't go away. Having permanent numbness in your nose is definitely not something you want.
As with every type of cosmetic surgery, cost is a huge factor in whether or not you'll be able to get it. Rhinoplasty is on the higher end in terms of cost, which means there's always a chance you won't be able to afford it.
In terms of cost, it's obviously much easier for people like Lee Min Ho to afford a surgery like that. Regular people will have a much harder time trying to afford cosmetic surgery.
A worse side effect that could occur is a septal perforation. This is when a hole can form in the septum of your nose, which is the divide between your nostrils. It isn't necessarily horrible, but can lead to mucous buildup, which creates a crust in the hole.
This hole can also contribute to nose bleeds, making them worse than they might normally be. A small hole will give off a whistling noise when breathing in and out.
It seems as though Lee Min Ho would have gotten a closed nose surgery. The bridge of his nose and the tip have changed, but it wasn't a drastic change at all. Thankfully, it also looks like the rhinoplasty went well, without any visible complications.
Though the tip of his nose is different, it would have all been done under the closed nose surgery, as a tiplasty only makes changes to the tip.
How can you deny the change of his nose? It seems very obvious. What else could he have gotten done to change his look? How about mouth surgery?
Lee Min Ho Mouth (lip) Surgery
Beside his nose job speculation, Lee Min Ho was also said to have made a little change to his lip. In this case, Min Ho Made his mouth (lips) flatter.
Medically, the mouth surgery can help the user to push in the alveolar bones with an anterior segmental osteotomy. Therefore, he has a better looking mouth.
Essentially, this means the surgery pushes the jaw forwards or backwards, depending on where the jaw was seated in the first place. This makes the jaw in the same place as the upper part of it. Your teeth will be right on top of each other, as it eliminates over and under bites.
This is a little more than just lip surgery and is generally used to fix over and under bites. This may, however, make your mouth look better, as it will be more symmetrical.
Along with that, there is also lip augmentation surgery. This is generally done when you want to add body to your lips. There are injections put into your lips which give it body and make your lips fit the rest of your face better.
If you would rather go a little more permanent, you could get an implant. There are both natural and synthetic implants available, but one might work for you better than another.
Of course, there are down sides to getting this procedure done. For one, they are temporary injections. If you want to keep your lips a certain size, you'll need to come back in every few months in order to replace the injections.
It's also very possible that your lips might become asymmetrical because of the injections. It could be the fault of the surgeon or it could be bad luck. It won't always be perfect every time it's done.
From the photos, it seems more like Lee Min Ho's lips and jaw are more symmetrical.
With that in mind, we can guess that he most likely got the surgery to correct his misshapen jaw in order to make it more symmetrical.
Why Korea?
Korea has seen a huge number of plastic and cosmetic surgeries in the past few decades and Seoul is actually known as the plastic surgery capital of the world. But why? Why is that city in particular full of people looking to get plastic surgery?
There are a lot of reasons that might contribute to the increase in plastic and cosmetic surgeries. For one, Seoul has the sixth largest population density in the world. There will be plenty of people looking to change their bodies.
It doesn't seem like that could be the only reason. There are cities with a much higher population.
Another reason is the belief that certain facial looks are more beautiful than the ones they have. For example, the most done cosmetic surgery is a blepharoplasty, also known as a double eyelid surgery.
As most Koreans don't have the crease around their eyes, a lot of the time, they can look very tired. They also just see having a crease as a beautiful thing. Others criticize these people, believing that they are too concerned with having a Westerner look.
Getting this surgery also makes their eyes appear larger. Their eyes go from a passive look to a more awake and involved look, making their expressions much more visible.
Facial surgeries are the most popular form of surgery in Korea. Rhinoplasties, blepharoplasties, mouth surgeries, and many other types of facial cosmetic surgeries are seen often in Koreans.
While the majority of patients are female, there is also quite a few men who get cosmetic surgery. It is believed that being more attractive in Korea will give you a bigger chance of getting a job because your photo is included in many resumes.
Body contouring is becoming more and more popular in Korea as well. With obesity on the rise everywhere, having the ability to change the way you look and slim yourself down easily sometimes seems better than losing weight the proper way.
Anti-aging surgeries are also on the rise. People grow older and realize they don't look as young and healthy as they used to. Cosmetic surgery can change that and make you appear younger.
With all of these things in mind, it makes sense why Lee Min Ho may have gotten cosmetic surgery. Being an actor, he will need to be at a certain level of beauty to be considered for more roles.
Also, his music career could add to his motivation to change his looks. His face would be all over the place with both his music and his acting. If he wants to continue to have it all over the place, he would have to be conscious of his looks.
The standard of beauty not only in Korea, but in the acting and music industries is very high. When you don't look a certain way, you aren't seen in the same light that you would be if you did look a certain way.
It's interesting that these beauty standards are seemingly universal. Even though Lee Min Ho was already known as very handsome, the fact that he still might have gotten surgery done says a lot about the society of today.
Lee Min Ho Gallery
Korean beauty standards are similar to the standards of other countries, though they may seem harsh at first. Every country has what their ideal beauty would be and many of the people in that country scramble to adhere to it.
Cosmetic surgery is something more and more people are turning to in order to keep with the always changing beauty standards, which almost seem to change every day.
Many celebrities, both in South Korea and other countries, have found cosmetic surgery to give them what they both wanted and believed they needed in order to keep their celebrity status. In turn, it also helped them land new roles, find new people to talk to, and other things.
Cosmetic surgery can make someone who has issues with the way they look feel better about their body as well. Even though surgery is on the more extreme end, it might give them exactly what they need to feel better about their body.
Even with the great things that may have come out of cosmetic surgery, there are obviously plenty of things that could go wrong.
Going to the wrong surgeon can mess up your surgery. Not following the after-care instructions can really mess things up. Sometimes, even if you do everything right, something won't go exactly the way you wanted it to.
Thankfully, those two procedures look very successful. But, it's very unfortunate that Lee min Ho denied all the rumors and most of his fans didn't believe it.
How about you? Do you think he got plastic surgery?

"One day, no matter what, we will win!"[1]
When hope conquers the empire
Estonian Institute of Historical Memory
Summer school 2019[2]
Dear historians, history teachers and graduate students of history!
After the Second World War, the Cold War broke out and a bipolar world emerged, which was divided into the communist Eastern Bloc and the democratic Western world, each with their own allies. The Iron Curtain descended on the dividing line separating them in Europe. Since the 1960s, it was symbolised by the Berlin Wall, which split not only Germany and its capital, but even families.
Every empire wants to last forever and to be omnipotent, but no empire is. Neither was the Soviet Union. Sixty-nine years is less than a human lifetime, but it is a very long time if we think of the crimes against humanity and violations of human rights committed during that period. We dwelt on those themes at last year's summer school. This time we will concentrate on the building of a free society after the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, using Estonia as an example.
On 12 June 1987, US President Ronald Reagan said to Mikhail Gorbachev, the Chief Secretary of the Soviet Union, in his speech at the Brandenburg Gate in West Berlin:
We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev…Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
This speech had a much greater meaning than its words for the countries that were occupied by the Soviet Union. It was a ray of hope for liberation from the yoke of the Soviet Union and gave impetus to the desire for freedom, which could no longer be slowed down.
On 23 August 1987, the first public meeting was held in Estonia, at which the public disclosure of the secret protocol of the Hitler-Stalin pact, the liquidation of its consequences, and the release of political prisoners were demanded. Nearly 7,000 people attended the meeting, and quite a few of its organisers fell victim to KGB repressions still at that time.
Night-time mass gatherings started taking place at the Song Festival Grounds in 1988. Patriotic songs, including the Estonian national anthem, were sung at these gatherings, and the blue, black and white national flag was brought out in public. Just a few years prior to that, such an act would have been punished by the authorities. New songs were written, which immediately became exceedingly popular. The Baltic Chain, a joint demonstration carried out by the inhabitants of the three Baltic states, was held on 23 August 1989. Nearly two million Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians formed an unbroken human chain over 600 km long, demanding the return of their freedom, the deprivation of which from them had been decided by the secret protocol of the Hitler-Stalin pact on 23 August 1939.
This was a time when hopes sprang up anew and were fulfilled. When a coup was carried out in Moscow in August, the Supreme Soviet of the Republic of Estonia voted on 20 August 1991 at 23:03 in favour of restoring Estonia's national independence. On the following day, the Republic of Latvia declared itself independent once again. The Republic of Lithuania had already declared itself independent on 11 March 1990, but foreign countries and the Soviet Union recognised this only after the August coup.
The flag of the Soviet Union that flew over the Kremlin was lowered for the last time on 25 December at 19:32.
Come and take part in the great story of the liberation of little Estonia. The four-day long programme offers interesting lectures and discussion groups by activists and freedom fighters from that time. These are living stories, personal recollections and emotions from people who were the contemporaries, participants and leaders of those events. The programme includes a selection of films that bring before our eyes the atmosphere of that time that was filled with hopes. Additionally, we offer artistic creative work in order to step out of everyday routine and to learn history in an entirely new way.
The working language of the summer school is English.
View the programme summary and apply to the summer school here. Applications are accepted until 3 May 2019.
Hope to see You soon in Estonia!

State Links Earthquakes, Fracking
State geologists believe they have for the first time linked earthquake activity in the Utica shale formation to fracking, and the state says it is issuing new permit conditions in seismic-sensitive areas. State Oil & Gas Chief Rick Simmers tells The Associated Press a state investigation of five small tremors in the Youngstown area last month has found a probable link. He says Ohio is setting new permitting conditions in earthquake-sensitive areas and has halted drilling indefinitely at the site of the March quakes. A seismologist with the U.S. Department of Interior says it's the first time a link has been drawn between seismic activity and fracking taking place in the Marcellus-Utica shale across the northeastern United States.

Florida non-profit turns trash into festive display to raise awareness of single-use plastic
JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. - An educational non-profit organization in Florida has turned trash into a festive light display to help raise awareness about how the waste people produce affects the world's oceans.
Footage shared by Beaches Go Green shows the display, called "Octopus Garden," a single-use-plastic awareness art installation, at this year's annual Deck the Chairs event at Seawalk Pavilion in Jacksonville Beach.
According to Beaches Go Green, 15,318 single-use plastic beverage bottles were used to make the display's octopus arms, while a Repreve fabric made from 90% recycled bottles was used for the head, and more than 700 single-use plastic bags were used to create the jellyfish seen in the installation.

7. Your Options
You have several options at the end of your lease. What you decide to do largely depends on your particular circumstance.
Purchase Option
Your lease agreement may include the option to purchase your vehicle at the end of the lease. If you want this option, be sure to negotiate it before signing. Without it the lessor has no obligation to make the vehicle available to you for purchase at the end of the lease. They must also disclose the purchase price or the formula for determining the price before the lease is signed if they are offering you a purchase option lease.
Walk Away Option
As long as all of your obligations are met as to the lease agreement, such as mileage, condition and payment agreements, you may be able to simply turn in the vehicle and walk away. There is usually a disposition fee charge with this option.
Right to Early Termination
A lease is a binding contract. Like all contracts, the two parties negotiate its terms. If you think getting out of the lease before its completion is something you might have to do, ask that a provision for it be put in the contract. In many cases, you will be required to keep the vehicle for at least 12 months before exercising any termination option. If you terminate early, you will usually incur extra charges and penalties for doing so. The circumstances under which such penalties and costs are invoked, and the formula used to determine these charges, must be disclosed to you by the lessor before signing any contract.
The lease is your lease. The contract is with you. Since you do not own the vehicle, if you assign your vehicle to a third party you are in violation of the contract. Any and all financial responsibility resulting from such third party reassignments is yours. Work closely with the lessor if you think third party reassignment is necessary. That way the terms can be negotiated so you will not suffer any undue financial obligations.
Whether you decide to lease or not, be sure to keep two things in mind. First, a lease is an important legal document. It entitles you to certain rights but also binds you to certain duties, liabilities and obligations. Know what you are signing before you sign it. Second, most elements in a lease can be structured and adjusted to meet your needs or situation. Make sure you work with the lessor to create the lease that is right for you.

TORONTO – Home Capital Group Inc. says American investment firm Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has agreed to indirectly acquire $400 million of its common shares in a private placement and provide a new $2 billion line of credit to its subsidiary, Home Trust Company.
Berkshire, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Columbia Insurance Company, has agreed to make an initial investment of $153.2 million to purchase just over 16 million common shares, which represents an equity stake of approximate 19.99 per cent in Home Trust.
Each common share will be issued at $9.55 per common share, which equals a 15 per cent discount to the five-day volume-weighted average price of the shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange as of June 13 when Bershire Hathaway, the firm led by famous American investor Warren Buffett, made its final proposal to the company.
Home Capital, a Toronto-based alternative mortgage company, says while the sale of the shares requires TSX approval, it does not need the blessing of shareholders and is expected to close on June 29.
The company also says Columbia Insurance has agreed to make an additional investment of $246.7 million to acquire almost 24 million common shares through a private placement.
Together, the investments represent an almost 39 per cent equity stake in Home Capital, although Berkshire has agreed that it will only cast votes based on 25 per cent of the shares it will hold.
The additional investment will be subject to a shareholder vote expected to take place in September and approval by the federal government along with other customary closing conditions. Home Capital says its board is recommending shareholders vote in favour of it.
"Berkshire's investment in Home Capital is a strong vote of confidence in the fundamental, long-term value of our business," said Brenda Eprile, chairwoman of the Home Capital board.
"We are pleased to partner with such a renowned institution in a transaction that we believe will reward all our investors for their patience and loyalty by enhancing the value of Home Capital over time."
"Home Capital's strong assets, its ability to originate and underwrite well-performing mortgages, and its leading position in a growing market sector make this a very attractive investment," added Buffett.
MORE: What the Home Capital crisis reveals about the housing market
The Berksire Hathaway agreement comes a day after Home Capital Group said it was selling $1.2 billion in mortgage assets to KingSett Capital, a private equity firm focused on real estate, as it looks to regain its footing following a flood of customer withdrawals from their savings accounts.
The KingSett deal will allow Home Capital to reduce its debt, after taking on an emergency $2-billion line of credit on costly terms from the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan.
Home Capital has been in a cash crunch since April when customers started withdrawing their savings, which the company uses to fund its mortgage lending, following allegations by the Ontario Securities Commission.
The securities watchdog had accused the company of misleading investors in its disclosures surrounding a scandal involving falsified loan applications.
Home Capital agreed to settle both the OSC matter and a class-action lawsuit filed by investors last week.

DaVinci Resolve used to be a professional software designed for Hollywood's elite colorists. The software has been used in plenty of famous films, television series used for color grading, restoration, and editing. But now, you can use it to edit video without being a pro. Since 2010, DaVinci Resolve was acquired and redesigned by Blackmagic Design instead of da Vinci Systems, the number of users increased from 100 to over 2 million. The reason is that Blackmagic Design also launched DaVinci Resolve Lite, a free edition with reduced functionality, alongside the continuing commercial options.
This free edition is widely used and well-received. If you are one of the Hollywood fans who dreams to be a professional video editor, you can practice with DaVinci Resolve free edition. Besides that, iTunes movies can be good material for practicing. However, iTunes videos are all protected by DRM, Apple's Digital Right Management scheme, so you can't import them to DaVinci Resolve directly. In the next section, we will show you how to remove DRM and convert iTunes M4V videos to a format supported by DaVinci Resolve. Stay tuned!
The Tool You'll Need
To remove DRM and convert M4V video, usually, you'll need a DRM remover and a video converter. Luckily, we have a 2 in 1 solution for you - TunesKit M4V Converter. Also, TunesKit serves as a video editor and media player. Here we list what TunesKit can do for you.
- A one-stop converter to losslessly strip DRM from iTunes M4V movies, TV shows, and videos
- Convert Both DRM-ed and DRM-free format to over 20 popular formats, (MP4, M4V, MKV, WMV, MPEG1, MPEG2, AVI, ASF, 3GP, and FLV)
- Offers a built-in video editor with which you can trim, cut the videos to small clips, or add watermarks and subtitles
- Retain AC3 5.1 Dolby surround sound, AAC stereo tracks, AD, CC, subtitles, and chapters
How to Add iTunes Videos to DaVinci Resolve
Step 1Add iTunes Videos to the Converter
First, Download TunesKit DRM Media Converter from the link above and install it on your PC. Make sure that iTunes is well-installed in your computer and then download the videos you want to convert in advance. Then launch TunesKit and iTunes will be launched automatically. From the main interface, you can see on the top center of the surface, there are 3 buttons: "Library" is to import DRM-ed files, "Add Files" is to add non-DRM files, "Converted" is to store the converted files. Here we should click "Library" to import videos from iTunes. Wait a window pops up and then select the videos and click the "OK" to load them to TunesKit. Directly drag the iTunes videos from your iTunes media folder to the converter is another way to import videos.
Step 2Select Output Format and Parameters
After the video is successfully added to the converter, you can click on "Format" panel to select the output device, video quality, video, audio format and other parameters at your will. Since DaVinci Resolve supported formats includes avi, r3d, m2ts, mp4, mxf, prores, dnxhd, mxf, dpx, cin, exr, mov, etc, we recommend you choose AVI or MP4 as the output format. On the right hand of the column of each video, you can adjust the output audio track and subtitle. Click the "Edit" icon, you can do some simple editing before you edit the video in DaVinci Resolve.
Step 3Remove DRM and Convert M4V Videos
After you finish the settings, you can start to remove DRM from the movies. Click "Convert" at the bottom right to accomplish that and you can find the unprotected movies under the "Converted" history. They were placed in the folder you decided. Before importing them to DaVinci Resolve, you can have a preview with the embedded media player of TunesKit.
The Final Thoughts
Now you're all set and you can edit iTunes videos in DaVinci Resolve. TunesKit enables you to convert iTunes Movies to any popular format you like and enjoy the playback anytime anywhere. So just give it a try and you will like it!

Jimmy Ruffin dies aged 78
Singer Jimmy Ruffin has died at the age of 78.
The Motown performer scored his biggest hit with 1966's What Becomes of the Broken Hearted.
News of Jimmy Ruffin's death follows reports last month that he was seriously ill and in intensive care at a Las Vegas hospital.
Born in Mississippi, Jimmy Ruffin moved to Detroit in the early 1960s and was signed to Motown's Miracle label.
He moved to the UK in the 1980s, where he recorded songs with Paul Weller and Heaven 17.
Jimmy Ruffin's other hits included I've Passed This Way Before, Gonna Give Her All the Love I Got and Hold On To My Love, a top 10 hit in 1980.
His younger brother David, one of the early members of the Temptations, died in 1991 of a drug overdose, prompting his sibling to become an anti-drug campaigner.
A family statement said that Jimmy Ruffin was "a rare type of man who left his mark on the music industry".
"We will treasure the many fond and wonderful memories we all have of him" the statement said.
Motown Records founder Berry Gordy said he was a "phenomenal singer".
"He was truly underrated because we were also fortunate to have his brother, David, as the lead singer of The Temptations, who got so much acclaim" Berry Gordy told Rolling Stone.
Jimmy Ruffin's last album, There Will Never Be Another You, was released in 2012.

ExpressNotes is an application which facilitates taking notes and retrieving information in them. Each ExpressNotes document contains a number of notes which incorporate textual or voice (auditory) information. Notes may be displayed in a single window, and operations involving notes may be performed using tools in the window's toolbar (which is customizable) or using menu bar or contextual menu items. The list of notes may be sorted by topic or date by clicking in the list header.
Alternately, the user may wish to display the list of notes and the contents of the selected note in a single window, as shown below. When a note is selected, its contents are shown in the note panel of the window. It is easy to switch between the "single window" and "multiple window" modes using a convenient tool in the toolbar, or with a menu command or command-key shortcut.
Questions, suggestions, and technical support is available at the following email address:
Editing Notes Text notes may contain styled text, including fonts, styles, and colors, as well as pictures, tables, and lists. Text may also be marked or highlighted for emphasis. Additionally, the background color of each note may be chosen from a list of colors or from the Mac OS X Color Picker. These features can be seen below in a note displayed in its own window.
Hyperlinks to Web pages or files on the local machines may also be created. When a link for a Wb page is clicked, the page is immediately opened in the user's default Web browser. The user may also specify local, file-based URL's, and when one of these is clicked the document is opened in its associated application.
Multimedia Capabilities In addition to text notes, ExpressNotes provides capabilities for including pictures, sound, and video. If the user has a camera attached to the computer, ExpressNotes allows for "snapshots" of printed pages or other images to be taken and embedded in an existing note, as shown below. This feature might be useful, for example, when taking notes while doing research in a library. Snapshots may be accessed via the toolbar or by choosing a menu item in the Compose menu.
Users may also create media notes. Media notes may contain sound and/or video. To create a media note, the user selects a New Media Note menu item and the media panel, shown below, is opened. When recording a media note, the sound and/or video may also be previewed in this window.
Additionally, older style "Voice" notes can also be recorded using the standard recording interface if the computer has a microphone. A voice note in the list of notes may be replayed by simply "opening" it or double clicking on it.
Also, any text note in the note list can be "spoken" by the application using the familiar Macintosh text-to-speech capabilities of the system.
Glossary ExpressNotes' Glossary feature simplifies entry of common words, phrases, or even paragraphs of text. The program maintains a list of abbreviations and associated expanded terms. Terms may be associated with abbreviations most easily using a menu item in the Compose menu. When entering text in a note, if the user types an abbreviation and then selects the Expand Term... menu item, or hits the Enter key on the keyboard, the abbreviation is replaced with the associated expanded term. Metatags, which represent variable content such as dates or contents of other notes or files (which can be local or on the Internet) may also be specified.
The full list of Glossary terms may be viewed, edited, and managed via the Glossary HUD (heads up display), accessible via the Compose menu. Terms may be inserted in notes from this panel as well.
Sketchpad ExpressNotes also provides a facility for users to create simple bitmap drawings while taking notes. This is accomplished using the Sketchpad window, shown below. Tools supporting simple shapes, lines, and text are included. Users may also drag graphic files or images from other programs to the Sketchpad to copy them there.
Any drawing or drawing selection may be dragged directly to a note to insert it there. A menu item may also be utilized to directly insert the the contents of the Sketchpad window to an open note.
Drag and Drop Note Creation Notes can also be created from a variety of external sources using familiar drag and drop techniques. Any note can be dragged in from another ExpressNotes document, and notes may also be created by dragging in plain or rich text selections, .rtf, .txt, or other external files, or vCards. A user may also drag in a URL object from a Web browser like Safari to create a note which is a facsimile of the referenced Web page, including the pictures and styled text, as shown below.
Note Templates Any note may be saved as a template using a single menu item, and then used when creating new notes. Templates are listed and can be managed using a tab in the Preferences window. Selecting a template from the list provides a thumbnail view of the template note contents. To use a template, the users chooses one of the templates from the New From Template submenu which creates a new note identical to the template, including note color, topic, and all note contents including graphics and styles
Finding and Retrieving Notes The Bookmarks feature simplifies access to previously created notes. Users may select text in any note and create a bookmark for the selection. These bookmarks are maintained in a list which is displayed in a drawer for the main note window. Opening the bookmark, by clicking a button or double clicking the bookmark itself, retrieves the note to which it is associated, opening a note window or displaying it in the main window's note panel.
ExpressNotes provides several other methods of finding notes which contain particular words or phrases. In the toolbar of the main window there is a filter field which allows text to be typed. In real time, as the text is typed, the note display is altered to show just the notes which contain the characters typed, as shown below in which only notes containing the word "note" are presented in the list.
Alternately, using the "Search" tool in the toolbar, or the corresponding menu item, the user may also find notes containing characters in the topic, date, or contents fields. The user may search for one note at a time (the "next" note containing the characters), and automatically open it. When the multiple window mode is operational the user may elect to find and open all notes containing the characters.
Saving and Exporting Notes In addition to its own document format, ExpressNotes allows the exporting of notes documents into text, rich text, or html formats using a simple menu command. The contents of any note may also be selected and dragged to other applications which accept rich or plain text, or to the desktop to create a text clipping file.
Quick Looks When a document contains a large number of notes, a user may wish to glance quickly at the combined contents of all the notes. This can be accomplished with the Display Summary QuickLook item from the Notes menu. This command provides a read-only window showing the combined contents of every note in the document, as shown below.
Customization ExpressNotes also provides a number of user specifiable preferences which control default values for appearance of notes, specify single or multiple window mode when notes are opened, and allow the user to save documents automatically at specified intervals.
ExpressNotes also provides a number of tools which may be incorporated into the note window toolbar using the Customize Toolbar... command.

Customize your JAMA Network experience by selecting one or more topics from the list below.
Denouement and Discussion: Halo Scalp Ring
A clinical diagnosis of halo scalp ring was made based on the history of prolonged pelvic pressure prior to delivery, caput succedaneum with extensive molding at birth, and a clinical picture of an annular alopecic ring on the fetal scalp that corresponded to areas of bony prominence. Halo scalp ring is a form of perinatal alopecia resulting from uterine, cervical, or vaginal pressure on the neonatal scalp that compromises blood flow and produces hypoxic-ischemic tissue damage.1-3Halo scalp ring usually occurs in babies born to primigravida mothers after a prolonged delivery and is attributed to caput succedaneum but cases following a Cesarean section have been reported.4Halo scalp ring can greatly vary in size and can range from mild alopecia to full-thickness necrosis. The diagnosis is made clinically based on typical history of prolonged or difficult labor resulting in extensive molding or caput succedaneum along with the typical location of the alopecic line along the areas of bony prominence extending from the parietal to occipital scalp in a ring.
Halo scalp ring is a localized physical phenomenon with no systemic associations and requires no further investigation or evaluation for congenital anomalies. The natural course of alopecia in most instances is partial regrowth of hair; however, a history of hemorrhagic or necrotic caput succedaneum is of more concern because deep scarring may destroy hair follicles, resulting in scarring alopecia.5Boney prominences of the parietal and occipital calvaria are likely under the greatest pressure and thus may experience ischemia during delivery, resulting in pressure necrosis. Observation is the most appropriate initial therapy once infection is ruled out. However, if scarring has occurred, consideration should be given to correction of the defect by tissue expansion and surgical excision of any residual areas of alopecia prior to school age to avoid psychological trauma common in children with cutaneous abnormalities. The incidence of halo scalp ring is unknown, with only 12 cases previously reported. However, with only 1 previous article in the pediatric literature and a frequently self-resolving natural history, the diagnosis is likely often not made.

The Mataranka township, 100 kilometres south of Katherine on the Stuart Highway, was the setting of the famous Australian novel, We of the Never Never, by Jeannie Gunn. Jeannie Gunn, 'The Little Missus', lived at nearby Elsey Station and her affection for the area has been immortalised in her book. Within Elsey National Park, you will find the grave of her husband and a memorial to the author at the Elsey Cemetery and Reserve. Elsey Station is now administered by the local Aboriginal people. The ancient dreamtime stories of the Mangarayi and Yungman tribes describe a wind sweeping in from the east that created the area.
The famous Mataranka Thermal Pool is a great place to unwind. The warm, crystalline waters of the natural pools have the power to soothe aches and pains after a long day on the road. The water is spring fed, bubbling up at a fairly constant temperature of 34 degrees Celsius. The surrounding paperbark and palm forest filters the sun and leaves soft, dappled light playing on the water's surface. The area around the pools is a natural breeding ground for the little red flying fox, whose breeding season is usually from November to May, but often extends into the drier months. During the breeding season, there are ranger guided talks available.
Bitter Springs, a short drive north-east of Mataranka, is a relaxing alternative to the main thermal pools. Take your goggles, because small turtles and fish can often be spotted below the surface.

I've referenced the International Music Score Library Project several times on this site, and was troubled when it shut down last month in response to a cease and desist letter. The letter from a law firm representing Austrian publisher Universal Edition insisted that IMSLP, a Canadian organization on Canadian servers, had to block access to Europeans of material still in copyright there.
However, much like the temporary shut down of The Lied and Art Song Texts Page under similar circumstances a few years ago, I think the utter shut down of the site was a little bit of an overreaction. I'm particularly disappointed that the owner of IMSLP didn't take Michael Hart up on his offer to temporarily host all the US-legal stuff on Project Gutenberg's servers.
Curiously, both sites are based in Canada, and I don't know how much bearing Canadian law has on their viability. I'm relieved to know that Project Gutenberg, backed by a small army of volunteer lawyers, has maintained a firm line in the sand regarding such issues. They have stringent rules by which they determine what they can host, but they have successfully beaten back the IP bullies who have tried to prevent them from serving public domain materials that may still be in copyright in other countries.
Fortunately, I follow PG's rules in considering what I can put on this website. I'm glad to know that if I were served with a similar letter, I would have a host of precedent to protect me, as well as supportive organizations like PG and the Internet Archive prepared to offer me cover.
Finally, while I had some reservations about some of the ways IMSLP pushed the envelope of legality, as well as concerns about quality control, I do hope the majority of that site will quickly find its way back online. I'd especially like to avoid having to scan the complete songs of Schubert myself, since they had apparently already done so!

Archbishops regret Hagia Sophia change
Ancient site's conversion to mosque may inflame tensions
The president of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference and the head of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia say Hagia Sophia's revised status as a mosque risks sowing division in a world already struggling to find common ground.
In a statement signed by Archbishop Mark Coleridge and Archbishop Makarios released on 24 July, the two leaders "join our voices to the many around the world who have expressed deep regret at the recent decision in Turkey to change the status of Hagia Sophia/Aya Sofya".
Hagia Sophia, which was a Christian cathedral for more than 900 years before becoming a mosque in the 15th century, became a secular museum in 1935. After a decision earlier this month, it has again become a mosque with Friday prayers set to resume on 24 July.
The archbishops said the grand building has, for the past 85 years, been "a monument of world cultural heritage and a symbol of inclusivity".
"Our fear is that this could aggravate tension between Christians and Muslims at a time when we need to pursue the path of dialogue and seek common ground," the statement says. "The path of nationalist ideology and the political decisions it prompts can lead only to division, which is never the fruit of the holy wisdom all religions seek."
Earlier this month Pope Francis expressed his sadness at the decision by a Turkish court to revert the iconic museum into a mosque.
While commemorating the International Day of the Sea during his Sunday Angelus address on 12 July, Pope Francis told pilgrims in St Peter's Square that "the sea carries me a little farther away in my thoughts: to Istanbul".
"I think of Hagia Sophia, and I am very saddened," he said.
Other bishops around the world have since echoed his statement with the US bishops conference urging Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan "to reverse this unnecessary and painful decision and restore Hagia Sophia as a place of prayer and reflection for all peoples".
Turkey's presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalın said the Christian mosaics would continue to be preserved although covered with a curtain during prayer times. "The main point here is that there is no damage to these mosaics, depictions, the historical texture and architecture of the building," he told media last week.
The Australian archbishops prayed for the people of Turkey, including the Christians "who have been especially grieved by this decision".
"We pray too that in time the decision will be reversed, so that Hagia Sophia/Aya Sofya can again be common ground for all people and an emblem of peace," they wrote.
Hagia Sophia timeline

- 1934 Turkish President Kemal Atatürk secularised the building.
- 1935 it is made into a museum.
- 1985 It is named as part of a UNESCO World Heritage site called the Historic Areas of Istanbul which includes that city's other major historic buildings and locations.
- 10 July 2020 immediately following a ruling of Turkey's highest administrative court, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, formally converts Hagia Sophia, from a museum into a mosque.Source: britannica.com

There's one use case that I'm very interested in, and that is getting new users with the correct environment to build and start hacking on software or using other software tools. For instance, on www.packagekit.org in the FAQ section, we can have a link to install build files to start hacking on PackageKit.
Now, this .bundle file is handled by gpk-install-bundle that parses this file and causes the appropriate packages to be installed if they are not already installed. This rocks as we can get GTK+, Xorg hackers up to speed with the minimum of fuss and confusion. It also lets people put links on webpages to "install all the stuff you need" when writing a "how to use a scanner in GIMP" howto.
So, what does a .bundle file look like?
[PackageKit Bundle]
# Just a package on all versions of fedora that can provide the dependency.
# If there are multiple packages then the user will be asked to choose
# Just for Fedora 9, install two development files
# On any distro, install the package with this file
# For each architecture on Fedora 8, install one of the two different compat files
You'll notice the distro-id in between the ()'s – this lets a packager fine tune the package name, where for instance in Debian the package is called policykit and Fedora PolicyKit. You can specify a granularity of distribution, distribution-version or distribution-version-architecture – PackageKit will process all the entries that apply. It's of course better to not specify a () if possible, as this lets the file work on as many distributions as possible out of the box.
There's also no version checking – intentionally – the distro should be specified and have the correct data. If there's an optional package not in earlier versions then you can do something like this:
[PackageKit Bundle]
# Fedora 9 does not have Unique
# Rawhide is fedora 9.90
There's also no description of the bundle that needs translating and verifying – they are just lists of packages, files and provides that might be useful. All the translations come from the distributions metadata, and it's up to the user to verify the package lists that are asked to be installed, so there are no signing or trust issues.
Note: this isn't designed to replace one click install, it just does something that is similar in a different way.

Cristofer Rosales of Nicaragua on Sunday secured the WBC flyweight belt by beating Japan's Daigo Higa, who the previous day had given up his title for failing to make the weight. (photos Naoki Fukuda, Sumio Yamada).
Rosales began his aggressive assault early on, showering the former champion with a barrage of uppercuts followed by body blows, and Higa noticeably slowed down from the sixth round.
Rosales opened the ninth round by firing a succession of heavy left body blows, while Higa's punches only connected with the air.
The Japanese side asked for the bout to be stopped one minute and 14 seconds into the ninth round.
The defeat was an extra shock for Higa, who the previous day became the first Japanese champion to be stripped of a title because of a weight issue.
The 22-year-old, who had 15 straight knock-out victories, weighed in at 51.7 kilogrammes (114 pounds) on the eve of the bout, exceeding the flyweight limit by 900 grammes (32 ounces).
However the WBC and both sides agreed to go ahead with Sunday's bout on condition that Rosales would take the belt with a win, with the title to be vacated in the case of a draw or a Higa victory, Japan's Kyodo News reported.
Higa burst onto the boxing scene in 2014 when he knocked out Thailand's Saengkeng Saknarong in less than a minute.
He clinched the vacant WBC flyweight world championship in May.
In February he defeated Mexico's Moises Fuentes in his second title defence, his 15th consecutive victory by knockout.

Cook County judicial voters reject old habits, disfavor poorly rated candidates
It was not business-as-usual in the Cook County judicial primaries last week. Candidates with blemishes on their record were disfavored by voters. Judges already serving by appointment, or candidates who came out of the prosecutors' office, found those perceived advantages did not sway voters. And Latinos seemed to gain strength at the expense of the traditional dominance of Irish names.
