An efficient defensive performance coupled with a poor shooting night was the perfect mixture for Leander on Tuesday.
The Lions traveled to Round Rock and beat the Dragons 45-38 to win their fifth game in a row and move into sole possession of second place in District 13-6A with just a couple weeks left in the regular season.
"They're staying together, they're being coachable and they're sticking to the game plan," Leander head coach Clint Bradley said. "That's all we can ask for."
Leander sophomore Noah Robledo led the offense with 11 points. A trio of seniors contributed as Landon Sisson scored 10 points and Hunter Stevens and Kyce Wilson each finished with nine points.
Round Rock senior Carter Ford scored 12 points and junior Jack Peterson added 11 for the Dragons.
After hitting 11 3-pointers in their win against Vandegrift last Friday night, the Dragons only hit five shots from deep in Tuesday's loss. At one point in the second half, Round Rock head coach Brent Murphy could only look at the hoop and shake his head as a shot clanged off the iron.
"It's really hard to get mad at (the team) on bad shooting nights," Murphy said. "They're executing our stuff and getting their feet set and then the ball doesn't go in the hole."
Leander sits at 9-4, just half a game ahead of Round Rock (8-4) and two games behind district-leading Hendrickson (11-2). The Lions host McNeil - losers of two straight games - on Friday, while the Dragons travel to face surging Stony Point, winners of four straight.
The Lions controlled the tempo from the start on Tuesday, jumping out to a three-point lead after one quarter and bumping that to five points at halftime, shifting between zone and man-to-man defense.
Leander started the second half with a 10-2 run and pushed its lead to 14 points, but Peterson hit a pair of late 3-pointers for the Dragons to keep the game close.
"One of the big words we put on the board for this game is composure," Bradley said. "I've got some pretty good senior leadership with this group. We knew they were going to make a run here and there, just stay the course.
Round Rock cut the lead to just three points with a little more than three minutes to go before the Lions once again took control of the clock.
"Getting rebounds and getting stops on defense because that's where it starts," Robledo said. "Offensively, we were running the clock down and making sure we're getting good consistent offensive plays."

t.A.T.u. vs. Klaxons – 200 Km/h In The Near Future
t.A.T.u. vs. Klaxons
200 Km/h In The Near Future
Little did I know that three years ago, when I mashed t.A.T.u. with Klaxons to create It's Not Over Until They Catch Us, it would be the beginning of my biggest mash up project ever. Over the next months, I created two more mash ups to accompany that one: 30 Golden Skans, and Gravity's Cosmos. Then, in 2009, when t.A.T.u. finally brought new material out, I decided to try my hand at another two: Snegopady vs. Two Receivers, and Vremya Luny vs. Magick. By this time, I felt like, given the freedom of t.A.T.u. singing in both Russian and English, I could theoretical create alternate vocal versions of all these mash ups, and whilst doing so, I discovered more pairings: Little People/Chelovechki vs. Totem on the Timeline, and most recently Not Gonna Get Us vs. Echoes. Sixteen t.A.T.u. vs. Klaxons Mash Ups, overall; and they're all finally uploaded!

From James Madison to John Armstrong, 19 July 1813
To John Armstrong
July 19. 1813
Dear Sir
I have recd. yours by Mr. Mercer.1 The little enterprize projected by Mr. Monroe, would if compleatly successful have a seasonably good effect.2 But the view you have taken of it, is a very interesting one. The smallness of your effective force in Regulars, and the possible consequence of such a detachment from it, to such a distance, at Such a crisis, will doubtless have the weight with him which those considerations deserve.3 I drop him a few lines on the subject by Mr. Mercer who is just setting out on his return.4 Accept my esteem & my best wishes
James Madison
RC (PHi: Daniel Parker Papers).
1. Letter not found.
3. In a letter to Monroe of 20 July 1813 (DLC: Monroe Papers), Armstrong argued that the project Monroe contemplated would be better left to the militia, because they were "on the spot" and able to time an attack advantageously, and because the potential gains were not worth the risk of 350 regulars.

LinkedIn is adding GIFs to its messaging through an exclusive partnership with Tenor, only weeks after the GIF search engine was acquired by Google.
During his testimony, Mark Zuckerberg struggled to name a true competitor to Facebook. In my opinion, this latest move from LinkedIn brings it one step closer to being "just another Facebook."
Only weeks after being acquired by Google, Tenor is scoring yet another big victory, becoming the exclusive GIF search engine for LinkedIn. But this raises one major question: why? LinkedIn was always perceived as the "serious" platform, the business network, and one of the biggest job marketplace. Over the years, LinkedIn has tried to improve the quality of the content being shared on its feed to satisfy the needs of professionals. But the company has taken a surprising turn lately.
First, it added video. The idea was to provide professionals and companies with a modern tool to communicate with their peers and customers. Despite the lack of control over what users will share in their videos, I can see how it made sense for the platform to add native videos.
But allow me to question the need for GIFs. Most conversations I am having on LinkedIn are fairly professional. I don't really feel like responding to a potential client, a vendor, a recruiter or even a colleague, with a GIF.
The new GIF search feature, powered by Tenor, is available for roughly 50% of users today and will be rolling out to more users over the coming days. I have it, I won't use it

Belkin's MIXIT Lightning to USB Keychain: The charging cable that's always with you/
I usually don't get very excited about reviewing charging cables, but I made an exception for Belkin's MIXIT Lightning to USB Keychain (available for as little as $22.47 through Amazon -- affiliate link). This durable Lightning to USB cable is now on my crowded keychain and has come in handy more than once, and I think Apple World Today readers will like it, too!
The design of the MIXIT Lightning to USB Keychain is brilliant -- a durable and lightweight aluminum casing connected to a keychain ring holds a pivoting 3-inch (7.62 cm) Lightning to USB cable. When the cable is parallel to the aluminum casing, both ends are protected from damage from your keys or other objects in your pockets.
When you need a cable, just reach into your pocket and grab the keychain, flip to the MIXIT, and swivel the cable 90 degrees. It's a short cable, but very durable and capable of sending 2.4 amps to your iOS device for charging. I've used it in my USB-equipped car several times when I've needed to top off my iPhone 7 Plus and didn't have a longer cable available.
After the charging is done, just flip the cable back into the protective aluminum shell and it's ready to go back in your pocket. Unlike longer cables that get tangled and break, the MIXIT Lighting to USB Keychain is able to hold up to a lot of abuse... and it's ALWAYS with you.
Compared to regular off-brand USB to Lightning cables, the MIXIT is a bit pricey, but you can't put a price tag on convenience. The MIXIT Lightning to USB Keychain comes in blue, gold, gray, silver, and purple.

Transport for London (TfL), the Mayor's transport body, is to rent unused space across its property portfolio to pop-up shops.
TfL owns more than 1,000 retail properties at London Underground, rail and bus stations as well as 1,200 arches under its railways. Most of these sites are occupied on a long-term basis. However, as leases expire and spaces become available, some will be reserved for pop-up use.
The move will provide brands, designers, artists and entrepreneurs with easy access to prime retail environments in central London.
According to TfL, the deal is part of a wider commercial strategy to secure additonal income streams for reinvestment into the transport network.
It follows the launch of "click and collect" services at London Underground sites earlier this year.
This new strategy is forecast to generate £3.5bn over the coming years.
Around 15 TfL retail units are listed on Appear Here. The sites are available across key stations such as Old Street, Piccadilly Circus, St James's Park and Baker Street. TfL has predicted that rental income will increase more than 200pc in some locations as a result of these short-term lets.
This is not the first time that TfL has made vacant spaces available for short-term rental. Last year, it leased a vacant unit at Piccadilly Circus to Nike to sell special edition trainers.
Graeme Craig, director of commercial development at TfL, said: "We've trialled pop-up shops at a few sites on the network and they've proved extremely popular for us, retailers and their customers.
"The partnership with Appear Here will enable us to make the most of our retail assets while generating revenue we can reinvest into improving the transport network for Londoners."
Ross Bailey, founder and chief executive of Appear Here, added: "This is a great opportunity for innovative brands, ambitious start-ups and hungry entrepreneurs.
"Appear Here's purpose is to help people make their ideas travel and with millions of commuters travelling on TfL's network every day, there is a real opportunity for savvy retailers and entrepreneurs to reach their target market."

The main impact of my project is to educated and help employees of Deautchus Nursing home. This is important because many employees do not stay consistent with their diets. This nursing home consists of nursing aids, RNA and other occupations. The overall impact is to help them to change the way they eat by changing little parts of their diet. This included simple sugars and high fat foods. This is written down in a notebook showing what was eaten on a specific week. When I first interviewed the group members in the project, I asked for her permission to be apart of the project. She was/is still allowed stopping at any time that she wants. One of the common foods that I found in the diets was soda or simple sugars ( candy aka high fructose syrup). The project impact was to substitute soda for water or fresh fruits for simple sugars. I have been able to visit the nursing home 5 times through out the semester. Each time that I arrived I bring a 24 pack of bottled water as well as fresh apples, banana and oranges.
TBA: final interview with Elaine, Mary Jane and Siobhan.
Relation to major:
My major is psychological approaches to workplace health. By working with employees I was able to connect and see what their needs were. This project helped many and still is, continue their healthy habits. In todays society we are faced with many problems that affect our mental health. My major consists of Business, psychology, health promotion and sociology.
This project was important to me because I am very passionate about health. My whole life I did not eat well. I would go to the store after school and get a bag of M&M's or gummy worms to fill my hunger. As you may expect, I was not getting the proper nutrients that I need and that triggered me to eat even more food which led to my weight gain. Through out college, I worked at the gym facility. It was not until the end of my freshman year that I felt the need to change my diet. I made small changes little by little and I saw results in my health that I was looking for.

Ren Ivaldi - Global Account Director, PR & Comms
Emma and I go back a long way; she has been a friend and confidant for many years. However, it wasn't until I was at my professional lowest that I got to experience Emma's infectious, life-transforming energy in full.
During this particular phase of my life, I had left my job for the uncertainty of building my own career in communications. After a few months of knocking on doors with no success, I was stuck with dull, unpaid options which took a massive tool in my motivation.
This is when Emma took the matter in her hands and worked her coaching magic, both in person and via phone, for me to gather the confidence I needed not to give up and continue to try break into the professional world.
We screened all the aforementioned options together and after weighting pros and cons, she helped me choose the right one. Needless to say, whilst on that unpaid assignment, I attended another interview for what would become my big break in the world of public relations.
I will be forever grateful to Emma for believing in me when I didn't, and I couldn't recommend her services more. If you want someone bubbly, resourceful and capable to think outside the box, Emma is your woman.
Agnieszka Gradzewicz - Smarty's CMO & Co-Founder
I recommend Emma as an insightful, funny, heart-centred, results-oriented business and life success coach. I started having career coaching sessions with Emma after I had become unhappy and stressed at work. She helped me get my plans in shape, feel more confident about myself and my abilities to run a business.
The coaching sessions with Emma helped me to discover not only personal reserve of strength, but also helped me develop the self-confidence to take control over my life path. Today, I am thriving with the self-confidence that coaching has helped me develop within myself. My self-awareness and ability to better recognise and understand how I think and feel in different situations has helped me deal with what I thought was uncontrollable anxiety and also helped me determine some key goals and ways to reach those.
Over the years I have not only consulted Emma about my business life but also about broken heart, new relationships, and various family struggles. Emma has a way of repackaging your own, sometimes confusing, thoughts in a way that adds meaningful direction.
I could go on and on with superlatives, but suffice it to say that if you are looking for someone to confide in and learn from about yourself, your professional skills, your career ambitions, and your potential, look no further than Emma.
Stevie Solomon - Musical Artist
What can I say about this wonderful Woman! Emma has been an important friend to me, especially over the last year. I have known Emma for a few years and one thing that has never failed is her ability to make you feel comfortable and relaxed in your thought. One of the special gifts that she possesses is the ability to make you look inside yourself and analyse your own actions but in your own words.
Being an elusive creative, Emma has tirelessly helped me through personal battles in order to help over come anxiety. Sometimes we may feel on top of our game but once in a while, we may fall. Having someone like Emma can truly help keep you mentally on the right track. You don't actually realise how important someone has been to you until you look back and realise you are still moving forward and that they are still on the side cheering you along.
Emma is not only a great listener but a great person to bounce ideas with. Her organisation techniques have inspired me to regain and maintain focus (a reason why I am able to even write this testimonial).
The plethora of testimonials should give an indication of how unique this woman is. Truly the epitome of a life coach and a true friend!
Sandra Barao Nobre - Author
Emma is a force of nature.
She is determined, follows her dreams and reinvents herself at every moment without ever giving up of her basic yet fundamental values that guide her in her life journey: family, love, friendship, the respect for nature and her constant activism for equality of rights and opportunities for everyone.
Owner of an inexhaustible energy and an unshakeable faith in the human being's ability to change for the better, Emma is the Coach whom I recommend to those who have decided that it is now time to change some aspect of their life.
Daniel Anderson - Personal Trainer & Nutrition Advisor
Meeting people like Emma just makes all the difference when you are at a challenging stage in life and the answers you seek are all there but the game plan is not.
I have found both face to face and over the phone with Emma a personal experience because with her listening ear, she has grabs all and every part of the problem and she delivers back profoundly, you can tell she has the life experience for coaching.
Emma has an amazing empathetic nature but her systematic firm methods strike the right balance.
Emilia Shurmur - Awarded Nurse
Emma Olmi's sunny approach to life is full of passion and energy.
I have learnt so much from her, she has inspired me to start living again and to not give up on the search for love. Emma helped me to believe in me and to love myself.
Her extensive travel experience has shaped Emma into a non-judgemental, well grounded and wise individual with great perspectives.
Emma, sees more than just a tree, she sees the whole forest.
She is fiery ( Latino nature), but also warm and affectionate.
You just have to meet her.
Miguel Martins - Graphic Designer

When I met Emma several years ago, I was at the lowest point in my life. I felt confused, unmotivated, broke and lost.
During this particular phase of my life I have just moved to China looking for exciting opportunities. I had many ideas of what I wanted to do but lacked the necessary skills and to be frank, lacked motivation.
Emma came to my life, and was like an angel because within a few sessions, I began to see things differently. She gave me a reality check and made me realize the difference between dreams and reality and how to focus on my goals. She revamped everything and I knew that her impact would be life changing.
Today I consider myself a successful man at all aspects in life and I own it all to Emma. I wouldn't be where I am if wasn't for her. I will forever be grateful to Emma for seeing the potencial in me and give me the clarity and motivation when I was feeling clueless and lost.
If you are looking for a inspirational, resourceful, strong, energetic, results-driven professional that is also someone capable to make something from nothing, then Emma is your woman. I highly recommend her as a business and life success coach.

I truly believe that anyone who has the pleasure of crossing paths with this beautiful and inspiring woman, will leave her feeling positive, motivated and most of all, loved!
I have had the pleasure of knowing Emma for nearly 10 years and particulary during the last couple of years, I can honestly say our length conversations have kept my mind active and my life on the right track.
Emma doesn't just listen, she really hears your thoughts and desires as well as having her worldly knowledge to give you great advice. Emma is a world class question asker who knows just what to ask to get you thinking which I think is a great asset for a successful life coach.
Emma is a dignified woman of morals who is not afraid to stand up for herself and others when she is passionate about a cause. This is one of the things I love most about her, she is always up for debate!
It's clear to see from Emma's social media following how loved she is and how great her rapport building skills are. She has a passion for helping people and I am honoured to be one of the many she has helped along her journey.
All my love to you as you continue to grow <3
Larcie Tulao & Clayne - Project Manager/Integrator
My 7 yr old son and I met Emma when we attended an event for entrepreneurs in Bali. It includes an event for the kids as well to help them find their passion and do it at their young age.
At one part of the event, the kids were unexpectedly asked a question and they had to answer in front of all the audience. I knew that it will be very difficult for my son to talk as he is not comfortable speaking in front of many people. And so, it happened. He froze!!! Not a single word came out of his lips. No matter how hard I encourage him to answer, he did not comply. I was about to take him out of the stage and just comfort him, but that's when Emma came to the rescue! She looked at my son with so much love and trust, then she told everyone, "I think Clayne prefers to dance". She asked the DJ to play the music then the magic happened. Clayne danced as if no one is looking at him. People were cheering for him and everyone enjoyed his performance. For the rest of the event he went from being the shy kid to HI5 everyone that crossed his path. Was so beautiful to see. Emma put my son in a state where he is comfortable and can express how unstoppable he is. Emma played a big part of my son's confidence. After that experience, Clayne transformed. He is now joining talent, pageant and modelling competitions. And all Emma had was a few hours with him.
I believe that Emma has the power to help people! She has this gift to bring out the best in people.

Prof. John Ayoade, a political scientist from the University of Ibadan, is the Secretary of the Rauf Aregbesola Campaign Organisation. He spoke on the preparations for the August 9 governorship election in Osun State. ADESOJI ADENIYI met him.
What are the selling points of the Governor Rauf Aregbesola in Osun State's governorship election?
The selling point is that Governor Aregbesola is a man of ideas and has put the ideas into practical use in Osun. He has implemented many important projects that are firsts in the history of the State of Osun, Firstly, when you look at our cities, there is urban renewal that is going on in the state. New roads are being constructed. they are rehabilitating the existing roads. The governor is systematically building education, not only in terms of infrastructural development, but also in terms of curriculum and quality of teaching, which has brought a lot of improvements. It is also important to look at the programmes put in place in schools, the attention of the children have been shifted to feeding, clothing. These mean a lot to the children because, if the school children especially those at the elementary level are not well fed, it is most likely not to perform as expected and might not be able to learn properly. If the children are hungry, under-fed, they are equally prone to health challenges. Looking at the totality of the education not just the teachers, student but the learning environment and the multiplier effects on economy, I think there is a lot going for Aregbesola in the August election.
Despite the massive funding of the education sector, a high percentage of students still fail the SSCE. What is responsible for that?
Well, you are judging by the end result and when you look at the end result, we are using the education system of 6-3-3-4 and when you critically look at that, you are judging with the people who started six years ago, our candidate got to office three and half years ago. Definitely, the poor background some of the students might have had some years ago are just coming to show now. For you to be able to access properly, you have to look at the children who are now in JSS 3. Those are the ones you can use to judge our performance and that will be in the next three years. Some of those you are talking about are the people we inherited from the old system and the fact that you have the result as better as it is, was the result the reform and changes that have taken place in the system. Otherwise, the result would have been much more woeful than what you are talking about. But, I assure that, in the next three years, you would have seen the result of the changes Aregbesola has made in the educational sector
The grouse of the opposition against your administration is that it has incurred debts and inflated contracts. What is your reaction?
First, let me remind you that the Debt Management Office under the watch of the Presidency has just put an end to that spurious lie that Osun has not borrowed beyond its capacity. Those peddling that rumour of heavy debt are just not being honest and mischievous. It is not true that the state has been plunged into debt as claimed by the opposition. They are just bandying figures as they like. The fact is that Aregbesola borrowed and has not borrowed beyond the capacity of the state and we are convinced beyond reasonable doubt that the borrowings are justified. There will not be infrastructural development you are witnessing if Aregbesola has not taken that bold step to rescue the state from the previous stagnancy and the absence of social amenities, which had before his coming derailed the economy of the state. Even the developed nation borrow to develop their country. The question they should be asking is the capacity of the state and what the government is using such fund for. The simple answer is that the government is using it for massive infrastructure development and transformation of the state. Those who are alleging contract inflation could not make distinction between the quality of job Aregbesola is doing, and their own time when they were constructing roads that could not last six months. There is no road that Aregbesola is constructing that will not last for 20 years. These are clear issues they fail to address.
The governor has urged voters to arm themselves with traditional weapons when they are going to vote. Is he inciting them into violence?
I'm not sure that such incitement exist. Is it a crime for a candidate in an election to tell his supporters not to go to election with guns, cutlasses and any dangerous weapon, but should go there armed with the potency of their faiths? If you are a Muslim, Christian, or traditional religion worshippers, don't you leave your house everyday calling on something? That was what he said and only mischievous minds would read other meanings into that. What the governor is simply saying is that people should be vigilant, as Yoruba people usually say, Oju la lakan fi sori. Everybody is already aware of this and any body telling people to protect their vote is not inciting anybody. He is just telling them to be alive to their responsibilities. I believe that it is only a fool that will take an advice that is not favorable to him and in this circumstance; we are talking about adults and reasonable people. Nobody that is able to vote is below 18 years and anybody above 18 should be able to decide on what is good for him. So, there is no argument of incitement. Another area we are not talking about is the fact that there is poverty in the land. With poverty, people are easily called into action and that is what we are campaigning against for people to reject monetary inducement to cause violence. Our governor is peaceful. Our party is peaceful and all we are going to continuously ask for is peaceful election and one man one vote.
Your candidate is a beneficiary of the judiciary. But, he has also attacked the judiciary on the unresolved murder of Chief Bola Ige. Ditto Senator Adeyeye, the Chairman of your committee. Have they lost faith in the judiciary?
I don't believe that speaking on the unresolved murder of Chief Bola Ige is an indictment on the judiciary. Rather, what that reminds us is the need to grow a just society because many of the problems facing us as a country arose from injustice. It is just to sound a note of warning that the public is watching the judiciary. Even, the Chief Justice of Nigeria agreed and accepted that there are bad eggs in the judiciary. I don't think we should give a clean bill of health to all judges. Otherwise, the National Judiciary Council (NJC) will have no reason to be monitoring the behaviors of the judges. Recently, some judges were sent away by the NJC. Therefore, such statements are not an indictment; we are just trying to build the system and not presume that those people are innocents so as to let other people know that they are being watched in order to be fear and just. I don't think talking about the unresolved issue is an indictment on the judiciary, but to put judiciary on their toes and understand that they sworn to an oath as the last resort for the common man.
Some parents protested against the school uniform, demanding the decentralisation of its sale…
First, we have established the fact that no genuine parent was among those who protested. They were just hired people from outside Osun, who stage-managed a protest for you journalists to take their photos and make it look like Osun people are against what Aregbesola is doing. It is all propaganda. On what you called monopoly, those who criticize the single uniform policy do not even look at the industrialization aspect of it. That factory making uniforms has provided jobs for about 3,000 people. Let me say that when you start a system, you study the system because there is no perfect system and you can improve on the system. At one time or the other, every system will have to be looked at again. If there are problems with the school uniform, the government will look into it. You are aware that before, no one was asked to pay for this school uniforms and when it was the time to pay for it, it was not more than what a committed parent should do for his child who is also enjoying free meal in school and other benefits including now being taught under ultra-modern classrooms. I must correct one impression, I don't know where they got their own figure, some people are so mischievous on this school uniform issue that they carry about wrong figures.

Back in July of this year, analyst Jon Peddie was on a mission to find the inventor of the camera phone – an product category that is responsible for a significant portion of the current mobile phone boom. Peddie found the first camera phone, but couldn't identify the precise inventor, and wasn't sure if there even was a single person who could be found. TG Daily picked up where Peddie left off – and got lucky in Japan.
I remember interviewing Sun executives in July of 2000 about the sense and nonsense of squeezing a video camera into a cell phone and using Java to support it. Back then, the notion of having a camera phone had first come to North America. Today they are everywhere, and indeed, it is hard to find a cell phone without a camera. And the cell phone industry has built an entire generation of products around this invention, with no sign of running out of innovations yet. Cameras have been key elements in motivating consumers to upgrade their older phones, with today's phones being replaced at almost twice the rate of five years ago.
The inventors of the first cell phone have been well documented, with Dr. Martin Cooper being recognized by most North American media outlets, and UK-based John Edwards being the favorite in Europe (Edwards claims to have beaten Cooper by a few months). But despite this debate, there is almost no information about who invented the camera phone. Even using Peddie's research, it is tough to say who actually was first to have the idea and who built the first device.
|Kazumi Saburi
Part of the problem is that several people and companies were working on a camera phone in the same time frame and its virtually impossible to single out the single inventor and champion of the mobile phone industry.
But that didn't stop me. I started my search at the point where Peddie left off with the company that developed the first camera phone.
Internet sources, including Wikipedia, typically suggest that it was Sharp's J-SH04 that won the race for the first camera phone. Even if Sharp claims on its website that this was the first mobile phone with an "attached camera," it debuted months after the real first camera phone. The Sharp device was released in November 2000, but, according to Peddie's article published in the July 18 issue of his firm's "Tech Watch", the Samsung Anycall SCH-V200 had been available already in April of 2000.
Peddie, who enlisted the help of more than 2000 people on his search, also mentioned a patent about a "radio telephone in a handheld housing with electro-acoustic transducers behind sound inlets and a video recorder, a video player, and an electronic circuit (…) a wide-angle objective mounted in the front of the housing with the video player" – which was filed by Alcatel already back in 1992. But there is no evidence that this device ever made it into a commercial product.
But the Samsung wasn't the first, by a long shot. In the end, it turned out that the first camera phone was the Kyocera Visual Phone VP-210, which was released in May of 1999 in Japan. Besides the fact that it was known to be the first video-capable cell phone, it also was the first functional camera phone for digital still photos. The device weighed in at a hefty 6 ounces, integrated a 2.0″ TFT display capable of displaying 65K colors, could transmit video at two frames per second and had enough memory to store 20 still images. Back then, the VP-210 sold for 40,000 Yen or about $335.
Equipped with this information, I poked into Kyocera's massive Japan operation, in the hope to find the man, woman or group behind the idea of the VP-210. It took several weeks until I was able to find the right contact. But eventually, Masumi Sakurai from Kyocera's PR department at the firm's Kyoto headquarters assisted us and I spoke to Kazumi Saburi.
Saburi led the VP-210 project back in 1997 as section manager of Kyocera's Yokohama research and development center and brought the device from idea to life. Today, Saburi is the manager of the Fifth Engineering Development Department for Mobile Communication Equipment in Kyocera's Corporate Mobile Communication Equipment Group.
Where did Saburi get the idea to build a camera into a cell phone?
"Around that time, cellular handsets with enabled voice and SMS communication capabilities were considered to be just one among many personal communication tools. One day a simple idea hit us – 'What if we were able to enjoy talking with the intended person watching his/her face on the display?' We were certain that such a device would make cell phone communications much more convenient and enjoyable."
So his initial thoughts were centered around a video rather than still cameras, something that is only recently become more popular in phones. "We knew that a handset must be equipped with a camera and a full-color display for visual communications of any kind – the former is required for catching the image of the speaker and the latter for showing it on the receiver's terminal. This pretty much outlines our first idea," he said.
A cultural change driven by camera phones
Saburi's idea was to have users exchange pictures by email, using the SMS services of the phone network. He began working on the project back in 1997, and "the Kyocera visual phone came to the market in 1999, but we had nourished [the idea] for several years before we started development."
Looking back in the historical records 40 years ago, UK banks told John Edwards that no one ever would be interested in carrying a phone around all the time and ultimately denied him a loan to develop and market his cellphone idea. But Saburi didn't have any such difficulty. "Top management aggressively encouraged us to develop the product. We also believed that such a product would improve Kyocera's brand image."
Saburi's research on how consumers used cameras was a big reason for inventing the camera phone: "The cell phone's strongest feature is its portability. This alone creates the application opportunity for the camera phone: We imagined that users are likely to accept the minor weight addition of a camera in a cell phone and carry around 'weightless' photo albums to enjoy with friends. But they do not use heavy cameras or bring along traditional physical photo albums all the time. A cell phone with a camera and color display provided a completely new value for users: It could be used as a phone, a camera and a photo album. This is also where we started from a marketing point of view. From a technical view, we were also confident that we could develop such a device. The approach was to combine an existing teleconference system and a primary wireless data transmission technology."
The phone was a quick success in Japan and was the beginning of a cultural change in how phones were used. "After the release of Kyocera's visual phone for DDI pocket, now Willcom, and J-phone, now Vodafone K.K., introduced the service "SHA-mail" ["photo mail"], which greatly contributed to boost the sales of camera-installed cellular handsets in Japan. SHA-mail greatly changed Japanese telecommunication culture. A key factor to support the boom of camera-installed handsets was in my opinion the evolution of the camera module. We saw remarkable downsizing of the modules, the quality and function were amazingly improved – to a level that was almost equal to digital cameras."
As you can imagine, squeezing a camera into a phone wasn't easy. Saburi remembers plenty of challenges. "I remember that I had discussions with R&D staff, project members and top management several road blocks we came across – again and again. What is the best angle for camera mounting? How can we improve the data transmission speed for minimizing the time lag while talking? What is the best balance of the image quality and frame rate? What about the battery? We faced a pile of challenges that we had never had before." About a dozen engineers worked on the key technologies, taking about two years to build the first model.
Today, Saburi is in charge of Kyocera's cell handset R&D, and he is working on phones with auto focus and 3 megapixel resolution. "In Japan, we are currently enjoying taking pictures and playing music on our cell phones. We can even make payments with our handsets, just like you use a credit card. We call this the 'osaifu-keitai' function. My guess is that the next big thing would happen after a seamless ubiquitous network environment is established."
I asked Saburi if there is anything he could change about mobile phones and the way we use mobile phones, what would it be? "We should not forget the key function of phones. Cellular telephones enable us to communicate with anyone, at anytime, from anywhere. This is the strongest feature of cell phones. We should focus much more on this feature of communication, which would allow us to extend battery life. How much fun would it be, if we could enjoy endless multi-communication, without having to worry about the battery? Of course, this is my personal opinion. I myself prefer the simple cell phone models that focus on just the communication feature."
And there you have it, the ultimate irony: the inventor of the camera phone, for all his influence over how technology is used, is the ultimate cell Luddite! I hope you enjoyed our journey to the heart of this innovative technology as much as I did.

Series Overview: Over the next 15 weeks, the historic church calendar takes us into the seasons of Epiphany, into Lent, and toward Good Friday and Easter. During these weeks we will look at the life of Jesus, and "walk with him" toward the cross and the tomb. We will do so using Luke's Gospel account. Luke writes with a clear purpose (1:1-4). He wants to help us see Jesus clearly. He gives us a well researched, "orderly account" that shows us who Jesus is and what he has done for the world.
Sermon Summary: In this sermon, we looked at Luke 3, in which Luke details for us the ministry of John the Baptizer and the baptism of Jesus. There are two stunning events that happen in this chapter. First, the fact that Jesus comes to be baptized should give us pause. Even John himself is hesitant to baptize Jesus. Why is he baptized? What does it accomplish? Second, as Jesus comes up out of the water God the Father speaks and God the Spirit appears. In this sermon, we consider what these events tell us about who Jesus is and what he has accomplished on our behalf.
Listen to the sermon HERE.
Watch the sermon HERE.
Key Scriptures to consider: Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased." (Luke 3:21-22)
Discussion Questions:
- What is unique about Luke's gospel? What is his purpose in writing? (Consider Luke 1:1-4).
- What does John the Baptizer teach us about the Christ? What things would he do?
- Discuss the scene at Jesus's baptism. What is the significance of this event?
- Pastor Jordan shared, "Jesus would go on to take our cross and give us his crown." This means the word the Father spoke over Jesus, He now speaks over all who are in Christ. That means you are a "dearly loved child of God". God is pleased with you. Discuss.
- How does understanding your "gospel identity" inform the way you live this week? What needs to start, stop, or change in your life because of this truth?

People wanting to register as volunteers for the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games are being urged to get in early so they don't miss out on a spot.
Registration opens online on Monday morning, however there's already been about 35,000 expressions of interest in the 15,000 volunteer spots.
Games chairman Peter Beattie said many people would likely miss out on spots, but it was great to see so many interested in helping out with the event.
"But I just say to those Queenslanders who don't succeed in the end, and we hope you all do, there will be other opportunities, Mr Beattie told reporters on Sunday"
In particular, he stressed that all Queenslanders would be "games ambassadors" in the lead-up to and during the event, and he urged everyone to show their "Queensland smiley faces" to visitors.
The majority of volunteers are needed for the Gold Coast sites, however there are also events being held in Brisbane as well as Cairns and Townsville.
Volunteer applications open from 9am on Monday on the official games website, and are open to people across Australia.

She Said:
A recent addition to the offerings on the westside of Asheville, it was a curiosity to witness the 'shipping container restaurant' recently take form along the French Broad River. When we had an opportunity to try it, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the interior boasted an industrial and rustic vibe that grows in charm as the sun goes down and the candles light up.
For me, ambience is a huge factor in what makes a restaurant a good date night option. Lighting, music, colors, vibe. These details are on par with the quality of the food and drink and the service received for this gal. I'm a triple Taurus (for all of you astrology lovers, you know where I'm goin' with this *wink*) which means I am an earth sign and a lover of all things that evoke and delight the senses. One thing I really enjoyed about Smoky Park was the atmosphere.
Food & Drink
I ordered a speciality bourbon cocktail from the bar which I was advised was 'a sipper with warm fall flavors' – exactly what I was in the market for on this rainy and cold Saturday night in October.
While not typically a big fan of hamburgers, I wanted something simple, so I joined hubs in ordering the SPSC Burger. I declined the bun, as I've been experimenting with eating sans flour for the past few weeks, but this did not detract from my experience. Surprisingly, however, the burger was not the star of the show for me. I've got a bit of a french fry fetish and their charred herb mayo dipping sauce sealed the deal for these taste buds! YUM.
After dinner, hubs and I shared in the indulgence of one decadent dessert. A rich chocolate brownie with a scoop of quickly melting vanilla ice cream to cut the intensity was the perfect way to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Why Are You Food Blogging??
This is a good question, and truth is, Willy and I are writers. We've been writing our ways through life individually for decades, and we've thought on many occasions of how we might be able to merge our mutual passions for the written word for some time now. We're both big fans of food, too. Different tastes, absolutely: I am the adventurous eater, with sushi, seafood and vegetables of all kinds as well as interesting meats being parts of my repertoire. Hubs prefers food that's been deep fried, cooked well, and when all of the things on his plate look at least, somewhat familiar.
As we stated in our About Us page, we loooooove a date night out, and at this juncture in our lives, a good date night wouldn't be complete with a great meal and the time-space to enjoy and reconnect with one another. So, in short, we're blogging to prolong the magic of our precious and few date nights, to offer other couples a resource to find out the best spots to hit and offer feedback post-date, and for the life enriching creative outlet that it is meant to be!
He Said:
This was the second time we had been to Smoky Park Supper Club to eat on a date night, and I was looking forward to it, since the first time had been very romantic, and our idea for this website was born there. Well, there was the *actual* first time we went there, which was when we had to walk back out without eating because they didn't have highchairs. Our then 6 month old was in tow, so that was like, a pretty crucial necessity, and we laughed as the young host that seated us suggested we could let him sit between us in a booth. You parents know what I'm talking about.
Regardless, I am happy we went back, and wasn't disappointed this time, either. SPSC has a pretty tasty selection of bourbons on hand, and being reared as a Kentuckian, I have a pretty fond liking for good bourbon in a good atmosphere with my favorite woman. I went for the Booker's, straight up. It is a good sipping bourbon, and it was perfect for this night of pouring rain.
The one thing that spoiled the first date night at SPSC were the fruit flies slowly meandering around our food, our drinks, and our faces the whole time. I didn't think that would be a problem this time, but alas, it was, and I soon found myself defending my tasty bourbon from their advances. Seems like a simple bug zapper strategically placed around the restaurant would do the trick, but this seems to have escaped them.
We started with the crab meat hush puppies, sided by a decent pimiento cheese dip. These things were great. I ate the bulk of them, though I did try to be fair and offer half to Her. It was really hard to not eat them, and they had just the right amount of crab taste to them.
It is entirely possible to be overwhelmed by crab taste, especially if you've suffered from salmonella due to bad crab cakes in the past, as I have. But these evoked none of those memories, and I liked them a lot.
I've had some pretty good hush puppies, being raised in the South, but these were divine and the cheese helped make it that way. It wasn't particularly spectacular pimiento cheese in and of itself, but it was the perfect thing to go with those hush puppies.
The Burger
This was a damned good burger! The sauce/mayo on it was great, the meat was cooked exactly how I ordered it (medium-well), and the fries were above mediocre. I had to peel off the pickles, as I do on most burgers, but once that was completed I dove in and devoured.
By this point in time I had pretty much forgotten about the fruit flies, or they had sensed my evil intentions and made themselves scarce — not sure which. It may also have been the second bourbon helping me ignore them, which was a Bulleit Rye. Either way, I didn't get bothered by them again. I do still wonder if I ate any without knowing it.
Sadly, I failed to get a picture of the desert. By this point in the evening I had pretty much forgotten that I was supposed to be keeping track of the experience so that I could write about it later. I consider that a good thing, really, as it indicated that I was having a really good time.
I almost didn't order desert, but on an impulse, I went for it. We decided to share this brownie that was served in a miniature skillet with some ice cream on top. It was moist, warm, and the ice cream was melting at just the right pace so as not to make it too soggy. It was insanely good, and was probably the best part of the whole meal. However, I couldn't finish it, and neither could She. We tried. We really did.
The service we received was awesome. Our server was equipped with a solid opinion (a quality I value highly in a server, especially in a restaurant that is relatively new to me!) and pointed us in the right direction in several pivotal decision-making moments!
One detracting factor was the fruit flies that seemed to want to join us for our date night dinner… not exactly the height of romance.
I'll also add that while I am a fan of much of the music produced in the 1980's, and didn't really have a problem with that being the selector's choice for the evening, something more chill would've lent itself nicely to the overall vibe.
Very good, would do it again. It was a nice experience for the two of us, we were able to converse over great food and enjoy each others' company in a nice atmosphere. When the food helps bolster that experience, it's a really good date night.
Ye olde fruit fly army. Once, I understand. But twice? Hmm…
Overall, a very nice date night experience was had!
Make yourself a reservation, why don'tcha!?

TORONTO - Not only can Connie DeSousa peel the skin from a pig's head in 49 seconds flat, but the Calgary restaurateur was the winner in the outstanding chef category at a Toronto food conference this week.
The co-owner of Charcut Roast House and a finalist in season 1 of "Top Chef Canada" earned the honour at the Terroir Symposium.
Jeremy Bonia, owner and sommelier of Raymonds in St. John's, N.L., won in the beverage category and Stephen Beckta, proprietor of the three Ottawa restaurants Gezellig, Beckta and Play Food & Wine, won in the service professional category.
The seventh annual conference brought together chefs, food writers, wine and food experts and culinary activists who explored this year's theme, "For the Love of Food: Stories, Memories and Culture."
DeSousa dazzled with her knife-wielding skills as she removed the skin from a pig's head as part of a demonstration on making mortadella sausage. Ground shoulder and back fat mixed with pistachios and other ingredients were then stuffed back into the head, which DeSousa sewed up with butcher's twine. At the Calgary restaurant, it is cooked for nine hours at a low temperature and then sliced and served very simply with a homemade grainy mustard.
DeSousa said she and her mentor, co-chef John Jackson, are "very back to basics" with their philosophy of cuisine. They spent four years cooking in San Francisco before returning to Calgary to open Charcut in February 2010. The restaurant has a custom-built rotisserie and charbroiler and features hand-crafted charcuterie, such as the mortadella.
"We fell in love with the style of cuisine in San Francisco," DeSousa said in an interview. "Everyone knows where their food comes from; people know the first names of their farmers, their butchers. We wanted to bring a piece of that philosophy back to Calgary."
The duo is supplied with produce from local farms they've toured. Butchering is done in-house, along with pickling, canning and preserving local produce into about 3,000 jars over the summer months to sustain them through the winter. Bread is baked daily.
When they were getting started back in Calgary, the team invited local chefs to a potluck in the backyard of DeSousa's parents to reintroduce themselves.
"Calgary was very closed-minded when it came to collaboration before that and coming from San Francisco where the chefs community is so tight ... it felt like a completely different mentality. We were successful in helping to start the collaborative efforts in Calgary.
"We want to showcase our city and we're really proud of it and we're proud of our culinary scene and the only way that we're going to be able to do that and showcase Calgary and make it into a food destination city is by doing things together," said DeSousa, 32, who was born and raised in the city.
Charcut uses Facebook and Twitter to publicize special events. One such promotion, Alley Burger, started out as $5 burgers sold from Charcut's back door.
The first time, 20 people enjoyed the burgers. Then the initiative mushroomed and became too big to handle. The last time they did it, 350 people lined up around the perimeter of the restaurant.
Now Alley Burger is a food truck and part of an 18-month pilot project.
Also at the Terroir Symposium, there were presentations on food culture, taste, memory and gastronomy by a wide range of participants, including Kate Krader of Food and Wine Magazine in New York, chef JP McMahon of the Michelin-rated Aniar restaurant in Galway, Ireland, chef and cookbook author Trine Hahnemann of Copenhagen and Paul Rogalski of Rouge Restaurant in Calgary.

Groundwater Exploration for Rural Water Supply in an Arid Region of Southern Argentina
Department of Geology, San Luis National University, Argentina National Scientific & Technical Research Council (CONICET), Ejercito de los Andes 950, San Luis 5700, Argentina

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Climate Change and Geosciences)
Climate change has led to an increase in extreme weather events and desertification of vast areas of southern Argentina. Water shortages are a major concern, and this problem is expected to be exacerbated in the future. An exploration program was undertaken to investigate the groundwater occurrence in areas of the Chubut River basin in order to provide new supply options for pastoral farming. The investigation involved the drilling of exploration holes and construction of bores for long-term monitoring. Water quality and hydraulic test data were also collected. Findings from the study indicate that alluvial sediments extend to a maximum of 45 m below the surface, and are underlain by a sequence of clays and subordinated sands that exceed 100 m in thickness. The bulk of groundwater lies within the shallow sediments, which act as an unconfined aquifer. Hydraulic conductivities up to 10 m/day were estimated from pumping tests, although granulometric analyses indicate that higher values may occur. Chemical characterization indicates that waters are typically fresh, low in sodium, and largely suitable for stock-grazing or horticulture. Anomalous salinities at one of the sites are likely due to the effects of a nearby waste dump. Even though further work is required, the study contributes to a better understanding of the dynamics of the hydrogeological system in the basin under a warming climate, and provides useful information for the expansion of economic activities in remote communities of Argentina.

The Argument About Certified Engineering Technologist
A technician is only a person having a practical comprehension of technology. To put it simply, a robotics technician is somebody who conceptualizes and builds these machines with a particular purpose in mind. Robotics technicians will also be asked to work in huge teams of specialists, so their communication abilities and people skills also ought to be up to the mark. The technician may conduct a selection of technical work processes in the field of specialization in which certification was granted. Forensic science technicians will also need to present their expert testimony in criminal circumstances. It may be true a graduate engineer going into the workforce typically earns under a graduate lawyer. Technician and technologist are two terms.
A technologist is going to have an engineering degree, whereas, a technician is going to have lower degree, or some type of diploma certificate. On the flip side, a technologist is someone who's completely mindful of various technologies. A technologist will also have the essentials of engineering related to a specific specialty or region of focus as their major. Unlike technicians, technologists handle the majority of the more complicated work. In that moment, the technologist needs to have completed tasks which directly apply to their region of study. Research what is necessary to turn into a sleep technologist.
Ideas, Formulas and Shortcuts for Certified Engineering Technologist
To learn what programs might actually be available, have a visit to your neighborhood county courthouse. The plan will prepare you to be a civil engineering design and construction professional. To turn into an endodontist, you will need to finish a postgraduate program in endodontics from a trusted dental institute or university.
The Demise of Certified Engineering Technologist
Typically, a technician course will last for one or two decades, whereas a technologist is going to have to undergo a course that lasts for a few years. Following that, you should enroll in a simple EMT program, which is provided by many community colleges and training institutes. Well it's a known truth that having a very good job is the secret to a thriving professional career. For instance, if you wish to take up engineering degree program, you should not simply join the science stream but should also go for the combination comprising Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
To have a business job, a master's degree is sufficient. It's far better to finish the degree and make a certificate after graduation in a new field. A greater secondary degree in subjects linked to medical sciences and health care services is the very first requirement of this profession. If you get a high school diploma or an equivalent and aspire to be a network technician, then you might be happy to be aware that a certified course and impressive recommendations are able to help you grab the many different opportunities this industry offers. Upon finishing the class work, graduates must take an exam performed by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). LocationMany students wish to know if attending WSU is going to be enjoyable and convenient.
Facts, Fiction and Certified Engineering Technologist
You may wish to get work experience. Work experience at the correct technical level is a rather significant factor in granting certification. Construction management experience would be an important asset. Their expertise is utilized in offices, laboratories and construction websites. Show which you have the knowledge to generate a difference in manufacturing! Computer and programming knowledge is also critical in order to receive the best jobs and hence taking the programming courses and receiving programming certifications would be an additional advantage. You'll also need to work on your communication abilities.
One should be alert all the time because there is additionally a substantial risk factor involved. Their job entails a good deal of different duties and responsibilities, aside from the ones mentioned previously. His job won't stop here though, since the technician will have to regularly check and correct these machines too, so as to make sure that everything is working according to plan. Presently, the salary of a radiology assistant appears quite promising.
Whatever They Told You About Certified Engineering Technologist Is Dead Wrong...And Here's Why
AT grade applicants must complete Part I, whilst CT grade applicants must submit all 3 Parts. To be a historian, a person ought to possess excellent skills in writing, research, together with in critical thinking. An expert engineering technologist's job responsibilities need technical and practical understanding. In some instances, the organization could possibly be a governmental, non-profit organization that do not operate a business enterprise. You will locate many organizations that are prepared to offer you a hand, assuming you meet certain low income guidelines. You will locate many nonprofit organizations out there which can provide a completely free laptop for students. Everyone knows that you won't find rich working for somebody else, so eventually many individuals opt to strike it out by themselves and start their own small business.

Orthokeratology Facts For Non Surgical Vision Correction In Merry Hill North Carolina
Orthokeratology is a non-surgical treatment using specifically created contact lenses to gently reshape the curvature of your eyes to make you see much better. Orthokeratology is likewise known by a couple of various names, the most common being ortho k, while some others consist of corneal refractive therapy, CRT, accelerated over night orthokeratology and corneal reshaping therapy. In the most standard of terms Orthokeratology or Ortho K is the science of altering the curvature or shape of the clear front part of the eye, the cornea, to change how light is focused on the retina at the back of your eyes.
This is a non-surgical procedure that removes the requirement for glasses or daytime contact lenses. It enhances vision by carefully reshaping your eyes using specially designed therapeutic contact lenses. The way that this works is that you simply put specially fitted contact lenses in at bedtime, and when you awake, you will have sharp natural eyesight for the remainder of your waking hours.
Orthokeratology Doctor Near Me
This safe and reliable treatment can remedy near-sightedness, which is likewise known as myopia, astigmatism and in some cases farsightedness. It is a great alternative to LASIK for those who do not desire the danger or are not all set for surgical treatment
Think about the cornea as the eye's equivalent of a watch crystal. It is a clear, dome shaped structure that overlies the colored iris. Its tissue is most much like clear, damp skin; and like skin it is really flexible. Since the cornea separates the eye from air and the rest of the outside world and due to the fact that it has a curvature that bends light towards the back of the eye, it is accountable for the majority of the eye's restorative power and contributes to different conditions such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and the blur of astigmatism.
When you select Ortho-k a few key tests should be performed. Chief amongst these tests is the determination that your eyes are healthy. Your orthokeratology doctor will more than likely be an Optometrist with specialized training in the procedure of corneal molding. He or she will take a look at the retina and also the health of the front part of the eye and the within the eye. The other crucial procedure is the mapping of your cornea. To do this an instrument called a corneal topographer is used. Just like a topographical map of the United States shows mountains and valleys and subtle changes in elevation; the topography of the eye reveals your doctor exactly how your cornea is shaped. The details from your corneal mapping plus the precise measurement of the size of your cornea and the prescription that is needed to correct your vision are all utilized to develop the retainer lenses (corneal molds) needed to give you the Ortho-k result.
On the day you pick up your Ortho-k retainer lenses you will be instructed in ways to insert, remove, and take care your vision retainers. The fit of your retainers will be assessed and you will be set up to be seen after your initial night of wear. On day 1, your doctor will re-evaluate your fit and recently remedied vision and another mapping of your cornea will be performed.
Throughout your preliminary fitting process, your optometrist will monitor your corneal health and the effectiveness of treatment. At specific times your retainer lens fit may be modified to accomplish your goals.
Ortho K Contacts
Orthokeratology can produce results in a remarkably short period of time. The length of treatment to attain your objectives can differ from person to person and will depend upon a variety of elements including your prescription, the quantity and quality of your tear production, your expectations as well as something called corneal rigidness.
We recommend patients that they might have to wear their retainers every night to preserve their freshly fixed vision. Some people are able to decrease their wearing schedule so that they just need to wear their lenses once every 2 to four nights. The reason for this is due to the flexibility or (rigidity) of your cornea.
How Do I Know If I Am A Great Candidate For Personalized Orthokeratology?
The only excellent way to figure out if you are a candidate for Ortho-K is to visit an eye treatment expert that does a good deal of operate in this location. Not all optometrist work in this area so please choose wisely.
Orthokeratology Problems
These custom-made lenses should be put on overnight, every night, to preserve the appropriate corneal shape as well as excellent vision.
Prospects should access least 6 hours of sleep each night (7 or more hrs is desirable) to achievethe optimum result.
Not everyone is thought about to be an excellent prospect for this modern technology (your prescription must drop within the possible range of treatment).
Clients need to agree to fully comply and abide by the recommended using scheduleand needed follow-up brows through.
