Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women.
The incidence of breast cancer is about 10% of the total female population.
Most susceptible to tumor formation women older than 40 years, in very rare cases, breast cancer sick man.
Due svogo widespread, breast cancer is studied more other cancers. Despite the fact that the immediate cause of breast cancer is unknown, rather clearly identified factors that contribute to disease. These factors include:
Each of the above factors lead to breast cancer, but increases the risk of disease, especially when a combination of several of the above factors.
The problem of breast cancer, as well as many other types of cancer is that symptoms frequently become apparent only at the stage of established tumors. The early stages of breast cancer are often asymptomatic. The earliest sign of breast cancer is:
1) Appearance of a single or multiple seals chondroid, from a few millimeters to a few centimeters in diameter;
2) Change the skin area of one of the mammary glands, the skin may acquire a characteristic appearance of orange peel, or be dragged;
3) In some cases, there are discharge from the nipple, is not associated with lactation, usually bloody or rust-reddish color;
4) The nipple flattens out and retracts breast lesions may increase, or vice versa, decrease in size.
For the usual form for symptoms of breast cancer pain is not typical, pain develops only in the terminal stage of the disease. When mastitopodobnoy form breast cancer symptoms are similar to mastitis: breast is red, swells, becomes painful.
The pain is expressed and rozhistopodobnoy form of the disease, in which there are sharply limited by the usual areas of redness of the skin, iron swells, increased body temperature and general condition worsens.
Mastitopodobnaya and erysipelas form of breast cancer are much less typical of cancer, their danger is that signs of breast cancer in this case are not specific for the tumor, and for acute inflammatory process that can be misleading.
Another form of the disease - armored breast cancer. It is characterized by the formation of dense infiltrate, resulting in mammary gland becomes uneven and solid-like shell, which in some cases covers the whole thorax.
It also occurs in cancer of the breast nipple, Paget's disease or cancer, the most rare form of cancer. Symptoms of breast cancer in this case limited to the defeat of the nipple, the symptoms are similar to eczema or psoriasis may appear scales characteristic of psoriasis, or brown on a background of redness characteristic of weeping eczema. When symptoms of breast cancer symptoms do not go beyond the areola, the tumor can spread to both breasts.
Breast cancer metastasizes to the axillary lymph nodes, a sign of metastasis is a seal and an increase in the size of lymph nodes. Paths through the blood tumor may metastasize to the brain, lungs and liver.
The main method of diagnosis of breast cancer is mammography - breast X-ray in different projections. As an additional method applied ultrasound. The final diagnosis with breast cancer based on a biopsy - a small piece of laboratory analysis of the tumor taken by puncture or scrape (at the surface forms of the disease).
To identify possible metastases conducted MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and or examination of the lungs, liver and brain using medical imaging techniques. To detect bone metastases scintigraphy is performed.
Breast cancer treatment complex, which underwent surgical removal of the tumor, cytostatic therapy and radiation of regional lymph nodes. A prerequisite, except for the terminal stages, a delete operation for breast cancer.
There is the classic version of the treatment of breast cancer, which is considered standard for this disease - radical mastectomy. This method completely removes the breast and axillary lymph nodes all on the affected side.
Currently, due to improved methods of diagnosing more and more in the early stages of the disease have resorted to gentle, sparing surgery for breast cancer. Prior to this, conduct a thorough investigation of sentinel lymph node - the first, which receives lymph from the tumor. If the sentinel lymph node metastasis is not present, with a probability of 98% have none at all. In the treatment of breast cancer in this case carried out removal of the tumor itself plus several centimeters to surrounding healthy tissue, the surgical method complementing chemotherapy and irradiation, as with a mastectomy.
In the terminal stages of breast cancer surgery is not effective, and can be used only as a means to alleviate the suffering. The main methods of treating breast cancer in this case are chemotherapy and radiation, it is not about healing, and to extend the life.
Five-year survival rate in the case when the tumor is detected in an early stage, before the onset of clinical symptoms of breast cancer, is more than 98%. In Step developed clinical picture when applying complex treatment includes radical mastectomy, radiation and chemotherapy nodes - the five-year survival rate of about 60%. In the presence of distant metastases of breast cancer prognosis is poor.

It seems every week I'm able to experience something new for the first time and it's usually something I never dreamed I'd get to experience. My first month in California I attended the Baja 1000 with Wes and the entire Matlock Racing team. I got to ride Ocotillo Wells with Mike Metzger and some of his crew for an event he was putting on. Most recently I was able to be involved in my first magazine shootout between several very built race quads.
I've done machine tests before but it's usually in the sand and its usually some insane custom creation, not a full on mx prepped quad which is what I prefer. Additionally, I've never even ridden a fully modified race quad. My Honda TRX450 is practically bone stock and I've not spent much time at the track period.
Dirt Wheels Magazine was putting together a modified 450 shootout and six of the seven manufacturers were to contribute. Be it our freestyle team is sponsored by Polaris we offered to supply the quad for the shoot. I asked Wes if he thought they would need additional riders and he said it didn't sound like it.
After a rather challenging day spent assembling the quad, we arrived at Glen Helen Raceway around noon. I tagged along to see what goes on at these tests and happened to throw my gear bag in, hopeful that I'd get my chance to ride.
We had barely unloaded the quad when Ron Lawson, the man responsible for the shoot, asked if I brought any gear. I said "oh yeah" and told me to suite up. I was super excited but a little nervous as there were quite a few people around and I didn't want to look like the inexperienced rookie since I'm still feeling out the whole motocross thing.
To that point we had only ran our quad on the dyno at Dasa Racing so this was indeed the maiden voyage. I took it out only to discover it would barely run at lower RPM. On top of that the REM track at Glen Helen was mostly elevation changes with switchback like turns and a few very rough jumps. I made a few laps with the quad spitting and sputtering before taking it back to the pits. We adjusted the jetting which seemed to have solved the problem. I took it back out and my goal now became a small but intimidating tabletop above the largest downhill I've ever seen on a motocross track.
You would accelerate out of a turn and climb a steep hill which leveled off for about 50 ft before dropping out from under you. The distance wasn't the issue but more so the fact that you couldn't see anything until you crested the hill. Jumping blindly is sketchy at best and should you crash on this one, it was a long, long roll to the bottom of the hill. This particular jump was very sharp at the point were the flat tabletop met the downhill section. (We freestyle riders refer to this as the knuckle.) If you were to case the knuckle on this jump you had about 200 feet to roll to the bottom.
As I mad lap after lap I inched closer to the downside until I finally committed. It was a weightless feeling as I lifted off the ground and sailed over the crest of the hill. The best way I can describe it is there is no lip on the jump. Your inertia just carries you up and as the ground levels off your momentum keeps going up and over the hill. I managed to downside it perfectly and gain some confidence.
After a few more laps I returned to the pits and Ron told me to ride any of the other five machines that were there. With much delight I hoped aboard a Yamaha YFZ450 and began pounding out laps.
The rest of the afternoon was incredible. I pounded out laps on all six of the quads, making mental notes on each machine's power and handling. I'm a rather large fellow so the quads with a lower center of gravity and tiny handlebars were somewhat uncomfortable. In fact I only managed to jump the tabletop on three of the six quads. I just didn't feel comfortable enough leaving the ground on a few of the machines and I certainly didn't want the liability of wadding up someone else's race bike.
The whole day was an eye opening experience. Come to find out the group that had gathered was a who's who list of industry names. Doug Dubach, Wayne Hinson, former pro Kory Ellis, dirt bike champion Gary Jones and photographer Adam Campbell were all out taking part in the shootout.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to take many up close photos of the day because the machines are all to be presented in an upcoming issue of the magazine. I did snap a couple photos of the crew and track however.
The whole experience was something new, and something I never thought I would get to be a part of. I'm so very blessed to be here doing what I love and meeting people that I've looked up to for as long as I can remember. A huge thanks to Wes and Ron for letting me be a part of the shoot and a big shout-out to the Kawi guys for bringing lunch for everyone!

This is a complete kit which is very easy to set up.

This is how one of our mini nest box cameras look like up close.

Posted by Andres Aguerrevere on
The art of selling on the internet have been around us for around a decade; moreover, the way it is done nowadays is absolutely different from the way it was performed back in its origin, it is even different from how it used to be a couple of years ago.
The marketing performed in digital media, especially on the internet, changes extremely rapid. In a matter of marketers follow the rhythm of techniques and trends. Those trends constantly define and redesign the market giving to marketers the hard duty of being in an ever-changing environment where the only way to succeed and survive is to evolve and adapt.
The term Digital Marketing circles all the marketing activities are done online with the goal of expanding the awareness, generating more traffic and engagement and increasing the number of sales.
In these days, the marketing team is considered a must part of every organization, not only the large ones but the small too; no matter the size of the company, the implementation of trendy innovative marketing techniques is vital.
Moreover, there is a myriad of different strategies applied in marketing nowadays, from search engines, websites, social media, email, content marketing, live streaming, and mobile apps.
Yet every time a marketer blinks, a new trend appears this is why keeping updated is so important; just as Jacky Lovato said for a MediaVision post: "If you don't keep it up, you will get left behind".
As stated before, this constantly evolving area is always searching for new methods and places where to advertise and get in touch with the audience. Marketers need to carefully study potential customers in order to get to know them and design the campaigns and strategies based on the market.
Given the fact that nearly nine-in-ten Americans are online, based on the results of a survey made by Pew Research Center. It also discovered that roughly 77% of the citizens own a mobile device, and the main apps used are social networks.
This results support the idea of how important are the social media in the marketing process; a couple of years ago, the number of ads and publicity spread in platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube were barely anything compared with the quantity available in the actuality.
So, the thing is: customers are always online, their phones or mobile devices are close to the person almost 24/7 and the main apps used for customers are mostly social networks; it creates the perfect place to sell, advertising in media allows marketers to get a concurred place to get to a myriad of potential customers.
Moreover, it is important to know the real role of social media in digital marketing; when a brand gets into a media platform they create a space to interact directly with clients, it creates engagement as the company is seen friendlier and closer to customers.
Some of the benefits of using social platforms to advertise are:
Those are just a few of the numerous benefits social media brings to brands, based on Arpit Singh, a digital marketing consultant; in his opinion "A digitally active brand can easily scale up, with a proper variety of well-defined rules within its proper and holistic variety of defined set of rules, reach".
However, each social network work different and they are used for different types of people; a marketing campaign can work amazingly in one platform and rapidly fail in other. Not because they are all social media it means they can receive the same type of ads or methods.
In here, there is a short compilation made with the main social media platforms and their relationship with digital marketing; how they work, how important they are, benefits they bring to businesses and much more.
Alexander Clark for Smart Insights in The Most Popular social networks worldwide states Facebook as the first one; even though it is not the only yet by far the main with a huge difference from the followings.
Based on Facebook Statistics, there are around two billion users on Facebook every month, and 1 of every 5 minutes spent on the Internet in the US is used on Facebook or Instagram (Property of Facebook).
Given the fact Facebook has a huge amount of users; it makes it a smart place to begin promoting a business or brand. Moreover, options in Facebook are plenty: it is possible to create a page for your brand, or direct advertising through ads, the newest adding to the ways of selling in Facebook is a chatbot included in the messenger app.
Among the myriad of benefits marketers and brands can achieve by advertising through Facebook are:
Undoubtedly, Facebook has positioned itself as one of the best places to sell with a wide distance from other networks; since users seem not to get bored of this social media, this marketing trend will not disappear in the nearly future.
Walter Moore at NetPeak says that "Instagram is a handy tool for businesses that rely on the common public to sell off their products and services". Advertising on Instagram is useful for almost any type of brands, small and giant ones.
The method used to advertise in here is based on inbound marketing; the use of content in order to get people's attention and awareness to the brand. As Instagram is all about pictures and videos, the quality of them will determine the success of a brand.
Moore stated that using photos along with posts increases the chances of interaction with comments and likes by about 40% as compared to the text-only posts. Some of the inbound strategies used on Instagram are:
With the incredible rush content marketing has nowadays, YouTube has gained a key place in the list of networks where to advertise. Different from a couple of years ago, information does not come only in written style, most of the times search on internet end up with a video.
Years before, every time a user has a doubt came to Google for an answer; nowadays, how to videos, tutorials, storytelling and more are the way people solve their questions. Moreover, YouTube is such a good place where marketers have to work.
With more than a million of active users, the chance that a big amount of people watch your content is huge; in this platform, the brand has a giant opportunity to establish a close relationship with their customers and attract even more clients in the process.
There are many different styles in YouTube yet some of them are on trend and seem to stay for a long time, the use of this platform is very beneficial for businesses as, in there, marketers are able to add value that goes further than the product itself.
Moreover, the creation of content does that customers spend more time connected with the brand in comparison with time they will by watching an ad on the television, for example.
Once a potential customer get engaged with a video, he is like to come back to watch the next one, creating loyalty with the brand.
No matter where you are planning to invest your marketing budget, there are some inbound strategies that will work for your success.
Knowing and applying these inbound techniques will boost any brand which is trying to get into this diverse world of digital marketing. Moreover, Internet is so important nowadays that being into it is just unavoidable.

David Viniar
David A. Viniar
|1955 (age 63–64)
|Alma mater
|Union College (B.A.)
Harvard Business School (M.B.A.)[1]
|Goldman Sachs
David Alan Viniar was the CFO and Executive Vice President at Goldman Sachs from 1999 until January 31, 2013. He is currently on the Board of Directors of Goldman Sachs.[3]
A 1972 alumnus of The Bronx High School of Science,[4] Viniar spent summers at Kozan's Bungalow Colony in Ellenville, NY, and graduated from Union College, New York in 1976, where he majored in economics.[5] He then attended Harvard Business School, earning an MBA in 1980.[1]
After receiving the MBA, Viniar joined Goldman Sachs where he has remained since. He became a partner in 1992, a managing director in 1996 and executive vice president and chief financial officer in 1999.[1] He has been the head of Operations, Technology, Finance and Services Division since December 2002.
Viniar headed the Finance Division and co-head of Credit Risk Management and Advisory and Firmwide Risk from December 2001 to December 2002. He co-headed Operations, Finance and Resources from March 1999 to December 2001. He was CFO of the Goldman Sachs Group, L.P. from March 1999 to May 1999. From July 1998 until March 1999, he was Deputy Chief Financial Officer and from 1994 until July 1998, he was head of Finance, with responsibility for Controllers and Treasury. From 1992-94, he was head of Treasury and prior to that was in the Structured Finance Department of Investment Banking.[6]
In September 2012 Viniar announced that he would be retiring from Goldman Sachs in January 2013.[7] On January 31, 2013 he retired from his positions as CFO and Executive Vice President and took on the role of director at Goldman Sachs.
On October 30, 2013 Viniar became a director on the board of Square, Inc., the mobile payments firm run by Jack Dorsey.[8]
"25 standard deviations" quote[edit]
On 13 August 2007, The Financial Times reported Viniar's explanation of why two large hedge funds managed by Goldman Sachs had both lost over a quarter of their value in a week, requiring the injection of $3 billion to support them.[9] Viniar ascribed the events to a series of exceptional events: "We were seeing things that were 25 standard deviation moves, several days in a row".[10] This has since been used to illustrate the problems of inappropriate mathematical models in finance, especially those based on the assumption of Normality.[11][12]
Senate Testimony[edit]
Viniar testified in front of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations on Tuesday, April 27, 2010 regarding the role of investment banks in the financial crisis that began in 2007 and, specifically, the role of Goldman Sachs in that crisis.[13]
David Viniar serves on the Board of Trustees of Union College and is a member of the Board of Trustees of both Children's Aid and Family Services and the Financial Accounting Foundation.[14]
David Viniar is married and has four children.

Sitting at a coffee shop near the courthouse, Phillips says he's relieved that Jacobo Ruelas, now 35, received life without parole for his role in the carjacking and stabbing that took Kris's life.
Earlier this year, Ruelas' younger brother Angel Ruelas was also given the ultimate sentence short of the death penalty. The brothers were 18 and 17 years old at the time of the 1997 slaying that horrified Monterey Peninsula residents.
And yet, Phillips said, he knows there's more to "justice served" than a guilty verdict and a prison term.
"Locking him up and throwing away the key makes me feel better," he said, "but it doesn't solve the problem."
For deeper answers, he's looking to restorative justice, a philosophy and practice that focuses not on what law was broken but on what harm was done and how it can be eased.
In practical terms, it means sitting down with the Ruelases and having a difficult conversation.
"I have a lot of questions about what happened that night that only they can answer," he said.
Phillips almost had that chance last year, when Angel Ruelas offered to meet with him after abruptly entering a guilty plea. But the plan fell through when Angel changed his mind and asked for a quick sentencing.
Even after that disappointment, Phillips said he would still sit down with either brother.
Phillips did get to speak a few weeks ago with another man who was present the night his brother was killed, a former friend of the Ruelas brothers who became a confidential witness in the case.

This was a great course packed with lots of information. I am looking forward to applying the information in the clinic.
Very good presentation! More therapist�s should have this knowledge as we have become too comfortable with mundane therapeutic exercise approaches. Please continue to have this course and other variations of integrated movements to spread the message.
I really enjoyed this course- made me think and look at movement differently. A good �hands-on� application of various movement strategies.
Knowledgeable instructor, content was presented in a fun and interactive manner.
Presenter�s teaching style was very hands-on, enabling me to better retain this knowledge and gave me interest in learning more on the subject.
I really enjoyed the class and learned so much! I can�t wait to try these techniques with my patients.
Great for immediate clinical application. Best way to learn this is to do it-great teaching-loved the hands-on approach.
It�s a great lab course.
Appreciated the practical implications and direct carryover to specificity of training and function. Very refreshing whole body integration.
Very high quality course!
Great course, great instructor. I want more!
Excellent application of functional approaches/uses of specific exercise technique.
Very interesting topic-helpful and innovative ideas to enhance therapy sessions and achieve goals.
The course was very informative and material able to be applied in many settings. Instructor was very dynamic and knowledgeable.
The instructor was knowledgeable, attentive to questions and comments. He was also interesting and was able to hold our attention at all times.
The instructor is fun!
The manual will be helpful, good pictures and easy to read compared to other courses I have been to.
Excellent presentation.
Really facilitated thought and how to apply to clinical setting. Reminded me of the importance of integrated movements in all stages of rehab.
Very informative, useful material presented and pleasant, relaxed instructor. I will definitely use techniques I learned.

Virtual Platonic Solids
If you want to show your students what tetrahedrons, cubes, octahedrons, dodecahedrons and icosahedrons really look like, this "virtual platonic solids application" will be a great addition in your math classes. The application is provided by Utah State University. It will let the student select which platonic solid he or she wants. Then, the student can apply a colour and using the mouse, rotate the solid in 3D. He or she may change the size of it using a slider and can also change the way it appears using different "skins" including filled solid or wire frame solid. It is also possible to see it as a dual solid (one inside the other).

One of the perks of my job as a beauty columnist/editor is that I get to travel. Press junkets are always so much fun and are usually held in beautiful exotic locations. I don't really get to go to these events very often, but when I do I make sure to embrace the experience and of course, take lots of photos. This trip was no exception. It was my first time in Amanpulo and I couldn't be any more thrilled to be there.
The island is just so breathtakingly beautiful. Really, I have no words. I thought that no other beach could beat Boracay in terms of the sand, water and sunset. But this one really surprised me—it now tops my best beach list. If you don't believe me, scroll down and view the photos. It is just WOW. Unbelievable.
It was the perfect setting to launch a skincare line. Japanese brand Shu Uemura clearly knew this, and didn't pull any stops to introduce its newest breakthrough product. TSUYA skin ("tsuya" means ideal in Japanese) is a serum that works by reactivating skin's "youth power switch". In case you didn't know, our skin cells are made up of active receptors that tell our skin to self-generate and metabolize. As we age, these receptors "switch off" and cause our skin to look tired and rough. Tsuya skin contains molecules that transmit vital signals to skin cells. This in turn, works by giving skin a youthful radiance. (More about Tsuya skin in my Philippine Daily Inquirer column, coming out in the following weeks.)
I took lots and lots of photos for this one, so let me warn you, this will be a long scroll down.
My view from the plane.
Look at that crystal blue water.
Upon landing, we got settled at the clubhouse for merienda. This amazing-looking pool was just outside.

The bedroom. I was roomies with The Baghag Diaries's (www.thebaghagdiaries.com) and fellow PDI columnist Ingrid Chua-Go.
Pinoy treats in case we got hungry.
Dried mangoes, cookies and korniks.
This is obviously my side. That is my real name btw.

This is our private villa.
Pathway to the beach.
Pretty gumamelas.
Look at that view. I wanted to jump into the water that very second.
So gorgeous.
A hammock for two.
I think its pretty obvious I was so happy to be there. (Last three photos taken by Ingrid Chua-Go)
After our swim, we needed refreshments so we headed to the nearest bar/resto.
Group photo.
As much as I wanted to swim all day, I had to get ready for skincare/makeup demo. Shu Uemura makeup artist Claire Seelin-Diokno asked me if I can be their model for this one. Of course, I said yes.
Noticing how fine the sand is.
I love how this looks.

Our yummy dinner.
Shu Uemura's newest skincare range: Ultim8 Cleansing Oil (available this July), Tsuya Skin (coming out early September) and Tsuya UV Under Base Youthful and Radiance Mousse (available on October).
All-white dinner.
When I woke up the next day, I immediately wanted to see the beach. Yup, it was still beautiful.
As I walked the shore I noticed these were left out, most probably from the night before.
Amazing view.
I really had to resist the urge to jump in. I was already in the water!
Before we went out to go snorkling, we found this: a Turtle Egg Hatchery! I love that Amanpulo is really making an effort to help preserve these turtles.
Aqua view.

Ready to snorkle!
Back at the beach. Im getting all shades of blue here.
So pretty.
Love that they had these hats in the room. These really help protect against the sun's rays. This, and a whole lot of SPF!
During lunch we sang 'Happy Birthday' to Ingrid, with a mini cake and candle!
Parting shot.
Thank you Shu Uemura! I had an amazing time. 🙂

At www.jacklistens.com, customers can find the Jack in the Box Survey. This survey allows participants to enter their feedback regarding the services they enjoy at the restaurant chain. The Jack in the Box Survey is a smart way to diagnose the wrongs that may be existent in the functioning of the restaurant chains. It allows the customers to give feedback in the comfortable environs of their homes, without the need to go the extra mile and register their complaints.This ensures that the customers enter information more candidly as compared to answering questions to a representative of Jack in the Box.
Jack in the Box was established in 1951. It is as American fast food restaurant chain and has its headquarters in San Diego, California. The food chain functions in 21 states in the United States and has 2200 venues. The main products that Jack in the Box serves are hamburgers, sandwiches, salads, breakfast food, desserts, tacos and egg rolls.
To manage such a wide range of employees and customers without compromising the quality of service, the Jack in the Box Survey serves as a practical way to take in the feedback of the customers.
To fill in the Jack in the Box Survey, you are requested to have the following at your disposal:
- A computer or a cell phone
- Reliable internet availability
- Valid Jack in the Box receipt
- Basic understanding of English or Spanish
In order to take the Jack in the Box Survey, undertake the following steps:
- Go to www.jacklistens.com
- Enter the code, printed on your Jack in the Box receipt. Hence, make sure that you don't lose the receipt
- Type in the date and time of your visit and how you dined: carry out, drive thru or dine in.
- Note down the validation code and you are done!
The Jack in the Box Survey is your opportunity to tell the franchise whether you were satisfied with the service on your last visit or not. Hence, if you think that your experience at the restaurant demands improvement, than you are more than welcome to rate your overall satisfaction on a scale of 1 (Highly Dissatisfied) to 5 (Highly Satisfied). However, the Jack in the Box Survey does not come about as a thorough and detailed endeavour. This is because all the survey asks of its customers is the fourteen digit code, the date and time of visit, how you dined in and your overall satisfaction. This leaves a lot to be desired.
The Jack in the Box Survey should be designed as such to cover the major facets of service. It should ask the participant to rate the cleanliness, quantity and quality of food, behaviour of the crew and the amount of money spent per person on the order. The Jack in the Box Survey should also ask customers to compare the branch they visited with other branches of the franchise and also with the other restaurants in the area. This will help gauge the competition. A 'progress' bar would also serve as a customer friendly technique.

One of the challenges for paleontologists is reconstructing the appearance of animals that are long extinct. Working with artists is an integral part of paleontology. Artists who work in paleontology are usually scientific illustrators, a profession that employs creativity and drawing skill within the strict rules of scientific research. Paleontological illustrators often work closely with scientific research staff on particular projects. They need an excellent grasp of anatomy as well as drawing and photographic techniques.
As part of the Perissodactyl project, I worked with two AMNH research associates, Dr. Matthew Mihlbachler and Dr. Nikos Solounias of the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine on a new reconstruction of the Central Asian brontothere Embolotherium. Mihlbachler and Solounias had carried out a research project on this animal; their results suggested that the structure previously interpreted as a horn in Embolotherium actually supported a greatly enlarged nose. My task was to produce an accurate reconstruction of this bizarre looking mammal.
