SSix years after the critically acclaimed LeMULgeton: Goetia and the Stellar Tradition, Leo Holmes is back with a new and exciting book: The Abyss. The Abyss offers a wide approach, based on both personal experience and a multidisciplinary study, to the second of the two main crises of a magician's career, the first being the attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. The book is predominantly inspired by Thelemic Literature…Read More

"A Warning to Australia: DEVIL WORSHIP HERE!" read the headlines, next to the image of a thin woman with unkempt hair, pencil-thin arched eyebrows and a focused scowl. Her name was Rosaleen Norton, "Roie" to those who knew her, a New Zealand-born artist and witch who made her home in Darlinghurst, near Sydney's Kings Cross, in the 1940s and '50s scandalising the conservative establishment.Read More
Half a century before Crowley a hitherto unknown "astrological professor and magician" was at work in Liverpool. England. He was also a herbalist and a galvanist. Like Crowley, he (and his associates, but especially him) were accused of practising and promoting sexual immorality and undermining religious propriety. He developed his own system for crystal skrying involving placing the skrying glass at the centre of "bonds" – diagrams with names of power. The bond for men and women were different indicating an awareness of tantric polarity.Read More
This book is truly a Master's "gift" to his Chela: the parting of true gnosis in the form of actual and deeply personal EXPERIENCE. Sean draws from his real life adventures, both magickal and mundane (at times within the same breath!) to impart to the reader layers of sacred and hyper-occult knowledge. It is unprecedented! A true modern grimoire, its chapters vary from deeply heartfelt and poignant to surrealist sci-fi, and always imparting technical and workable occult knowledge, and always directly to the core of human experience.Read More
The Hieroglyphic Monad represents a visionary Elizabethan mind seeking to conjure the embodiment of universal knowledge into a single symbol. Written in just two weeks, the text has confounded scholars and general readers alike but this new translation, over a year in production, seeks to provide clarity and context and, in doing so, better convey the sheer ambition of its author. Including an introduction by the the translator, Michael Zellmann-Rohrer of Oxford University, and a specially commissioned essay by Emma Doeve, this brand new edition of the Hieroglyphic Monad will provide greater insight than ever before into one of John Dee's most famous texts.Read More
Speakers are: David Rankine on Demonology and the Grimoires, Georgina Allen on Fulcanelli – The Man Who Made the Stone, Sian Humphries on Regardie and the Middle Pillar Ritual, Dr Robert Plimer on Kenneth Grant and the Nightside Tradition, Mike Harris on Working with the Mabinogion, G St M Nottingham on Eliphas Levi and his Magical Legacy…Read More
This work was first published in 1895 in Trinidad and achieved instant obscurity, However, it seems that a bell was rung somewhere as 9 years later, on 8th April 1904 Aiwass instructed Crowley that, as well as the mantras and spells and the work of the wand and the sword, he should learn and teach "the obeah and the wanga".Read More
Presenting a comprehensive overview of Dee's life and work, Louv examines his scientific achievements, intelligence and spy work, imperial strategizing, and Enochian magick, establishing a psychohistory of John Dee as a singular force and fundamental driver of Western history. Exploring Dee's influence on Sir Francis Bacon, the development of modern science, 17th-century Rosicrucianism, the 19th-century occult revival, and 20th-century occultists such as Jack Parsons, Aleister Crowley, and Anton LaVey, Louv shows how John Dee continues to impact science and the occult to this day.Read More
Another fascinating article from Nettle's Garden. In 1896, London, some of the most revered Adepts of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn gathered to perform a ritual written by Aleister Crowley's teacher, the man who basically introduced Buddhism to the west and institutionalized it in the UK: Allan Bennett. The ritual would make the spirit of Mercury physically manifest before them. Allan Bennett was there as an assistant Magus, the master of the ceremony, Florence Farr, who was a beautiful woman dressed in a white robe adorned with a yellow sash and on her head she wore an indigo nemes – the headcloth of the pharaohs. Around her neck she wore the seal of Taphthartharath, the spirit of Mercury, around her waist was a belt with a holy dagger, in her left hand she held an Egyptian symbol of immortality, and in her right hand, she held a lotus wand.Read More

Cystitis is the medical name given to an inflammation of the bladder that affects up to 40% of women. The feeling that you need to urinate more often and suffering from uncomfortable or even painful urination are two of the main symptoms that indicate you may be suffering from cystitis.
Several clinical studies have shown cranberries to be useful in helping the body overcome urinary tract infections caused by bacteria, which adhere to the lining of the bladder. Evidence suggests that certain constituents in cranberries can interfere with this adherence, thereby helping the body fight off infection and also reducing the likelihood of an infection occurring.

Cystitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection, but it could be also the result of damage or irritation to your bladder (non-infectious cystitis). There are many causes of inflammation, so if you suffer frequently from cystitis, keeping a diary and recording when you get cystitis may help you to determine what triggers it for you.

The next-generation Jaguar XJ, expected to be launched around 2019, will be "something that is visually stunning on the outside and luxurious inside", according to design boss Ian Callum.
Jaguar Land Rover is believed to have hotly debated the new XJ as it evaluated how to develop a flagship design for the next generation of cars while boosting sales in a class dominated by the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Discussions are understood to have swung as widely as dropping it from the line-up and developing a large SUV, to sticking with an ultra-conventional saloon.
The Jaguar I-Pace has been revealed, take a look here
Callum said the next generation could have a higher roofline to improve the rear packaging, but other changes could be more "nuanced". The decision to stick with a saloon is said to be motivated by it still being recognised in most markets as a key differentiator of premium brands.
"The XJ today isn't a traditional limousine," said Callum. "It balances style, performance and comfort in a unique way. It's a car with many admirers and it's a car that establishes Jaguar's credentials in quite a cool way.
"We could address head room, but other changes could be more detailed. We have a cool car. We don't want to lose that."
XJ to live on as super-luxury hybrid
After months of debate Jaguar bosses have finally pushed the button on reinventing the XJ as an "indulgent, super-luxury" car.
The new XJ is likely to feature mixed-materials body construction, a new-generation V6 hybrid drivetrain, an entirely fresh look for the interior and much more of the technology needed for connected and autonomous driving.

The view from San Jose's Capital Club is of a downtown skyline whose landmarks are arguably known only to those who live and work in the area. But the three co-founders of the nonprofit San Jose Light Tower Corporation hope to change that.
Steve Borkenhagen, Jon Ball and Thomas Wohlmut are working to build an electric light tower in the spirit of the one that graced downtown San Jose from 1881 to 1915. The new tower would be taller than the original, which stood at 237 feet at Market and Santa Clara streets, and would take advantage of advances in design and technology.
"Our dream is to come back in a few years and look out the window" to see the new tower in Plaza de Cesar Chavez, Borkenhagen told a roomful of supporters and press gathered at the Capital Club on Sept. 5 to hear two teams of students from ETH Zurich present their design concepts for a new tower.
Engaging Swiss engineering students for the task was something of a full-circle concept, since some believe that the Eiffel Tower, designed by an ETH Zurich student and built in 1889, was inspired by San Jose's tower.
The student designs are what supporters hope is the first wave of ideas for the new light tower. Borkenhagen said the nonprofit is putting together a worldwide competition for design submissions.
"We're hoping that students, architects, artists and even people with a pencil and a cocktail napkin will submit ideas," he told the audience.
The nonprofit netted $120,000 last month at a fundraiser at Cafe Stritch, the downtown San Jose restaurant Borkenhagen co-owns. Final project costs have yet to be estimated.
Borkenhagen said the goal is to build a distinctive new light tower akin to the Golden Gate Bridge.
Although the original light tower was knocked down in a windstorm in 1915, the students' designs focused more on seismic safety. Wohlmut said the tower, one of the tallest free-standing structures of its day, was missing 16 bolts when it fell.
"Thirty-four years is pretty good for a project built out of cheap boiler parts," Wohlmut said.

We know that Xiaomi's low priced Snapdragon 845 featured handset is actually on its route to European countries, still, its design has continued to be perplexing whereas several of the main features and functions fortuitously got exposed through a Bluetooth documentation. Well, the good thing is that now we can have a better look at the style and design of the handset, as its retail package disclosing some additional information and also validate a few of the reported features along with it.
The lucid front section images explicate the primary attributes of the handset such as a liquid cooling system for the Snapdragon 845 chipset, multiple rear camera build as well as a huge 4,000 mAh battery-cell. The remaining pictures also exhibit an anodized aluminum rear side, which rules out the possibilities of wireless charging support, speaker grills at the bottom and USB-C connector along with a 3.5 mm audio jack placed on the top. With regards to the rear side of the device, it consists of the dual cameras along with the fingerprint scanner whereas the front design resembles more like the Mi 8 SE with comparatively fluffy edge bezels, chin as well as massive display notch. However conversely to the Mi 8 SE, the Pocophone provides merely a LED flash at front side rather than an innovative 3D face identification system.

Your business will fail (but that's a good thing!)
Suzzanne Uhland has addressed the intricacies of the daunting, sometimes devastating, process of filing for bankruptcy. And although there have been plenty of cases from which managers, CEOs, and entrepreneurs can learn in order to avoid falling victim of unawareness, it is important to address the topic of bankruptcy from different points of view. The most famous bankruptcy episodes always include a well-established business. As a matter of fact, Suzzanne Uhland has already talked about them for they can be used as the perfect example to learn one thing or two. Nonetheless, when it comes to startups and ventures, few things have been said about how to face and subsequently deal with bankruptcy.
Entrepreneurs always decide to embark themselves on their ventures after having listened to hundreds of times that single compelling advices that motivate them to start their own business, thusly leaving behind freelancing activities, cranky customers, fixed schedule jobs and days of everlasting uncertainty about whether it is possible to launch a $4,000 dollar venture. Somehow, the most common connotation about entrepreneurialism depicts some sort of a dream life full of resources to all the stuff entrepreneurs have always dreamed of: trips, vacations, prestige and the latest mobile phone. Well, first and foremost, in order to achieve that, entrepreneurs have got to start their business, and although they will probably end up calling it quits or, worse, selling their hard-won assets. But that is definitely a good thing, and here is why:
Entrepreneurs fail all the time
Yes. That is as simple as it gets. The entrepreneurial journey is a never-ending, always-compelling trend: entrepreneur, irrespective of their success, whether they are poor, millionaires or even billionaires, always keep on losing. Maybe the false expectations behind the hype make entrepreneurialism somewhat misguiding, for reality dictates otherwise. People looking forward to starting that business idea and becoming entrepreneurs had better get ready to feel tons of pressure and see failure behind every corner about 95% of the time. But, that is indeed a good thing: Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Richard Branson and even Walt Disney failed all the time. In fact, according to recent figures, the average millionaire goes bankrupt at least 4 times, and 3 out of 4 new ventures fail. Such statistic suggests that, in general, by the 5th year, irrespective of the industry, over half of all new businesses and startups would have shut down their activities.
But why do they fail?
There are several reasons behind why new ventures and entrepreneurs fail, the number one reason why all businesses fail is emotional pricing: entrepreneurs always overprice their products or services and disregard following market adjustments —they are just too stubborn—, and, as a consequence, they realize they are not getting the expected results, fail and, finally, they give up. As a matter of fact, the influence of the current economic climate has little to do with the industry or the management in this sense. And, of course, there are other reasons why ventures fail: having different expectations, not paying taxes, lack of knowledge, lack of proper planning, lack of financial knowledge, etc.
How is this good news?
The aforementioned figures, rates, and statistics, alongside the reasons why businesses fail, are actually encouraging and compelling enough for every entrepreneur and venture enthusiast. What such landscape really suggests is that: competition is not really that strong and, eventually, entrepreneurs are likely to succeed if they really keep on trying.
Although such reasons depict something different —as if, today, failure were the most common element in the corporate world—, in reality, that is rather normal. In fact, the people who manage to succeed despite the circumstances are the ones who advocate for common sense and continue trying even when facing unavoidable failure. And that is perhaps the greatest secret and lesson —which is not shared during interviews—. Just keep trying and do not overlook the power of common sense: all it takes is just a single win. After that, things get much better. This is not an overnight success.
However, businesses will fail
It is not difficult to predict with an impressive rate of accuracy that an entrepreneur's first business endeavor will be a total mess. A disaster. And it is better to say it this way. Experience comes from practice, which is why that plethora of business theory and degrees will not matter in the end. Common sense is something that is earned through experience. In the beginning, almost every single entrepreneur overlooks the possibility of acting wisely and reasonably: they will overprice their products and services; they will treat both customers and employees wrongfully; however, do not think that just because failure has arrived it is meant to stay: the sooner entrepreneurs embrace failure, the sooner they will be successful. Such premise is what real investors understand the «hard facts» of the business world. Be that as it may, remember: if an entrepreneur has an idea, he or she ought to start chasing it that same week: stop preparing, stop waiting to be ready. Good enough is just good enough.

Not a pretty chart from Business Insider:
No matter how you slice it, things are worse than they have been in quite a long while – and remember that these results are after we went whole hog in to Obama's Keynesian policies. It wasn't supposed to be like this – but, there it is.
The reason for this is quite simple: we went too far. It is true, to a certain extent, that you can get a lot of "oomph" out of fake money and debt. You can pile that on for quite a while and make it seem like things are getting better. But the end result is a grossly devalued currency and a massive pile of debt – and both these things will increasingly prevent rationality and wealth creation. We're at that point now – we're economically doomed unless we change course. And, even then, we'll have some pretty bad years to do through as the economy shakes off the burden of debt and fake money. But once done, it is like having a bad tooth extracted – the pain goes away, the hole heals over and, if you like, you can build a whole, new tooth to replace the old one.
This isn't rocket science – this is just plain, old common sense. If someone came up to you and said that if you'd just go heavily in to debt everything will be made wonderful, would you believe them? Of course you don't – you might have to take on some debt from time to time, but you know there is a limit to how much you can bear and, also, that in order to save money – if for no other reason – paying off debt swiftly is the best move. We can, as I've said, fix all this.
Or, as I've also said, we can start to fix all this – once Obama and his Democrats are out of power.

Good morning, and happy
Sunday Monday! Today it's time for…
AMA, Part 1!
As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I received far more responses to my suggestion to "ask me anything" than I had anticipated. So today is the first newsletter dedicated to AMA responses, but it probably won't be the last.
Just one quick thing before I get into the Q&A: I'm planning on offering consulting services again, both to raise some money and because I miss working directly with people. I could really use your help: If you've ever benefited from my work in some form, would you mind providing some quick feedback about it? I would really, really appreciate it!!
Nathan Walls asks: If you were starting your career today, would you still pick programming? Which language would you pick? Why?
If I could start again now with my experiences somehow intact, I think I'd choose to pursue my earlier love of music, with programming as a way to pay the bills. As for language, that's easy: JavaScript. JavaScript opens doors than any other single language at the moment, and probably will for years to come.
Sebastian Sogamoso asks: How do deal with those periods of time when you lack motivation?
If all I need to do is write some code, putting on the right music often gets me into the groove. For more serious cases of demotivation… well, I've found I can force myself to labor if I know it's important for the well-being of the family. What I can't force is creativity. For that, pushing back against the lack of motivation is just counter-productive.
Sometimes, simply getting a sufficient amount of rest is enough. Or going for a hike, or something else that diverts my conscious mind for a while. Other times I need to dig a little deeper into the source of the malaise.
In those latter cases, I've found that it's really important to talk to a friend. It's easy to convince myself that all I need to do is have a deep conversation with myself. But experience has shown that talking things out with a friend is far, far more effective at working through the root of my lack of mojo.
From Timur Ramazanov: Could you just stop programming one day and live on without it?
Yes! I won't say that programming is merely a means to an end for me. I also enjoy it for its own sake. But I enjoy a lot of things.
Marek Kowalcze: What non-IT books have you read recently?
Well, I recently finished The Organized Mind, which is a nice grab-bag of practical cognitive science. My morning meditation book up until a few days ago was Taming the Tiger Within, by Thich Nhat Hanh. On the fiction side, I read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy. I just finished All Systems Red, a fun little novel that asks the question: what if there was a self-aware "murderbot" who had removed its own safety protocols… and all it wanted was to be left alone to watch soap operas?
Alex Kern asks: How do you balance media consumption with production?
With great discipline. I have become extremely deliberate in how I consume media. I don't follow anyone except close friends and family on social networks anymore, in order to make sure I'm not biasing my time toward whatever media everyone else is talking about right now. I do not visit Hacker News or Reddit. For blog posts and news articles, I subscribe to a carefully curated set of newsletters (not unlike this one!), which provide a first-level filter on what web media I read. From those, I usually only read one or two linked articles per newsletter, when I get around to opening them at all.
I use various blocking programs to remind me not to to indulge in any recreational media consumption at all until after the morning production hours are over. I also don't read email in the morning, to avoid getting sidetracked.
I think of media in terms of a hierarchy of quality/importance: Books > Magazines > Newsletters > Trusted News Sites > Blogs > Social Networks. I've steadily enacted more and more strategies to push myself "upwards" in this hierarchy. I suspect I haven't reached the pinnacle of media discipline yet; I'm still adding to my rules and protocols.
Thanks for joining me for BRUNCH. See you next week!

Australia keep AFC U23 hopes alive while Vietnam crash out in Group D
Australia kept their hopes alive as Vietnam's were extinguished in the second Group D matches at the AFC Under-23 Championship in Doha.
After the Olyroos defeated Vietnam 2-0, United Arab Emirates and Jordan drew 0-0 on Sunday night to put the West Asian nations in pole position to advance to the knockout stages.
Jordan and UAE are top of the group on four points followed by Australia on three, with Vietnam yet to open their account.
It means that the Southeast Asians are eliminated while Australia must win their final Group D game against the Jordanians on Wednesday to progress -- and maintain their hopes of qualifying for the men's football competition at this year's Olympics.
The top three nations in the tournament are guaranteed of places in Rio.
The Australians had lost their opening match to UAE 1-0 so they were quickly on top of the Vietnamese, grabbing both goals from corners.
They opened the scoring in the second minute through James Donachie before his Brisbane Roar teammate Jamie Maclaren doubled the tally in the 60th minute from another set piece.
"It was a very tough game," Australia coach Aurelio Vidmar told the-afc.com. "I was really confident we would bounce back and that is what they did and we controlled the game for long periods of the game.
"(Vietnam) are well coached and well organised and they have made big improvements in the last few years. They have lots of 1995 born players that suggests they are investing in youth."

PENSO delivered the strategy, UX, design and development for Emirate's airline cabin crew service portal.
PENSO worked with Emirates to develop a new Emirates Cabin Crew Portal and Knowledge Base with a program of UX strategy and interface design. The process included qualitative and quantitative analysis of existing crew interactions, as well as hours of prototype testing and iterations, allowing us to develop an experience that would vastly improve efficiency for thousands of crew.
The new portal provides crew a one-stop destination for everything related to their role as a Emirates crew member, whether it be checking their roster, swapping their duties, looking up crew dietary requirements or engaging with other crew through a social platform.
The new app was launched in late 2016 and is now used by 30,000+ Emirates staff across mobile, tablet and desktop devices. Cabin Crew are empowered with precise personal, roster, flight contextual and deep knowledge needed to deliver high quality customer service on one of the largest air-fleets on the globe.

Modern living is highly demanding, to say the least. With busy work schedules, many people work around the clock in a bid to make their lives better. In this warring reality, it goes without saying that quality sleep gets put on the back burner.
Many people are sleep deprived and this only works to increase stress and anxiety. Poor quality sleep habits are also associated with certain ailments like obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
What do you do when you simply cannot fall asleep?
This is the all-important question. Remedies range from medications to supplements, and it is worth noting that one will have to contend with side effects that may follow.
There is, however, a unique way to fall asleep that is relatively easy to implement. This method promises that you will fall asleep in 60 seconds.
This one-of-a-kind method that promises to knock you out in under a minute is known as the 4-7-8 breathing technique. It sounds too good to be true for insomniacs who have tried the warm milk and dim lighting without any success. The only sure way to know the merits of this remedy is to try it out for yourself.
The 4-7-8 breathing technique was researched and developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, who is Harvard-trained.[1] Dr. Weil discovered this method while on a quest to sort out his own anxiety problems.
This technique is based on an ancient practice from India called Pranayama[2]. This simply means regulation of breath. From this, Dr. Weil was able to try it and observe the merits therein. What does this technique entail and how do you get started?
4-7-8 Breathing Method Explained
4-7-8 breathing method refers to the literal counting of breaths to attain a state of relaxation. This action has been seen to have a tranquilizing effect on your system. This, in turn, will reduce the tension in the body for better relaxation. This is the premise in which one is able to fall asleep faster.
The simplicity of this method is the most fascinating; there are no tools or equipment needed. No matter where you are, you can put it into action to enjoy the benefits. Below are the steps that go into doing the breathing technique.
Follow These Steps to Fall Asleep In 60 Seconds
The first thing you do is to exhale deeply through your mouth. With the tongue behind your front teeth, make a 'whooshing' sound while exhaling. Then, with your mouth closed, inhale through the nose with a count of four. This count should not be rushed, just a mental count up to four will be enough to move to the next step.
After inhaling, it is time to hold your breath and count to seven. It may sound like a long time to hold your breath, but practice makes perfect. Holding your breath for up to seven counts will ensure that oxygen is distributed in your bloodstream accordingly.
After holding your breath for seven counts, the next step is to exhale completely through the mouth. Exhale while making a 'whoosh' sound to the count of eight. This is to make sure that all the carbon dioxide is released efficiently; which is highly beneficial. This is one cycle of the technique and you should repeat up to three times to attain up to four breaths.
Doing this when you want to fall asleep faster will boost the process. Falling asleep under a minute has never been easier. However, does this method really work? What is the logic behind it?
Falling asleep in 60 seconds has never been easier, but what is the logic behind it?
How the 4-7-8 Breathing Method Works
According to Dr Weil, this technique is an optimal way to fill the lungs with much-needed oxygen. It is this extra oxygen that works to relax the parasympathetic system.[3] This, in turn, promotes calmness in the mind and body.
Stress and anxiety are the causes of overstimulation and lack of balance in the body, which leads to insomnia. With this method, Dr. Weil says that you will not just fall asleep faster but you can find calmness in times of anxiety as well.
This method may not work overnight but Dr. Weil advises people to practice for six to eight weeks. After this time, falling asleep in just under 60 seconds will be attained.
There are numerous reviews from people who have tried this method and have succeeded. The best way to find out how well it works is to try it. You literally have nothing to lose.
Simply follow the guide above and see the difference it makes in your life. With the hustle and grind of everyday life, we all need to find ways to attain quality sleep naturally. This technique is definitely the most natural way you will find. You just need to be focused and disciplined enough to practice until you have perfected it. Good luck

Dear Dr. Birgeneau
I can help your patients in the event of an emergency – when they might need my services as a plastic surgeon.

- The Challenge for Pediatricians
- Current Referral Networks
- How I Can Help Your Patients in Emergencies
- Real Smiles From Real Patients Immediately After Treatment
- Next Steps
The Problem for Children in Massachusetts
I've been practicing in Massachusetts for over five years, and I've found that far too many children with facial lacerations or broken noses are suffering needlessly. They frequently endure the frustration of significant delays in receiving treatment, and when they do receive treatment, it is often inadequate.
Current Treatment of Broken Noses: An Example
I know of many children who are presented to the Emergency Room with a fractured nose and do not undergo a nasal reduction in the Emergency Room under local anesthesia.
Immediate nasal reduction under local anesthesia is not only a less invasive way to reduce the nasal bones (which are easier to mobilize after a fresh fracture), but also a reliable immediate way to definitively fix the problem at that initial ER visit. They, instead, are commonly referred to a surgeon to manage this injury as an outpatient, thereby delaying treatment for their nasal fracture. During that time, the nasal bones subsequently fuse in a displaced fashion and force the patient to undergo a more invasive nasal reduction under general anesthesia to re-break the nose for definitive repair.
I discovered this not only from my experiences in the emergency rooms, but also from my interactions with pediatricians. Especially those who did not have a consistent referral source for their patients' emergency plastic surgery needs.
The Challenge for Pediatricians
Both pediatricians and concerned parents have made me aware that many community hospitals simply do not have access to board-certified plastic surgeons willing to provide immediate, expert care for children in the case of an emergency. In such instances, emergency room house staff have to resort to either addressing the injury themselves or transferring the child to a university hospital, delaying care further and adding more anxiety to an already stressful situation.
Current Referral Networks
Many pediatricians I know, and have spoken with, have referred their patients to Boston Children's or University Hospitals. We recognize that these hospitals are are among the best of their kind in the country.
However, patients at these hospitals receive treatment from interns or junior residents, often with a lengthy delay. They rarely receive immediate care from a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon.
How I Can Help Your Patients in Emergencies
- Achieve the best Cosmetic Outcome possible.
- Prevent longer recovery times by fixing injuries in the Emergency Room.
- Provide immediate care – even on nights and weekends.
I have been, and still am, committed to solving the problem of inadequate pediatric emergency care. In the last few years, I have taken care of hundreds of children who have suffered facial injuries from bicycle accidents, dog bites, and a variety of other means.
These are Real Smiles from Real Patients Immediately After Treatment

My goal is to be the plastic surgeon that you, your patients, and their parents can trust with expert and immediate treatment. To achieve this goal, I would like to offer you my personal cell number and a guarantee that I will be fully available for you and your patients.

It is interesting you know, looking back to what took place in 2016 in the US election, something which affects the entire free world, the United States is that important, whatever she does, affects us on the outside. That was a time when every mainstream media outlet from the Clinton News Network (CNN to you) to the New York Times and Washington Post was shouting night after night that Russia was hacking the 216 election for Donald J Trump's benefit. They had no evidence then and have even less now, that the leaked DNC (Democratic National Committee) emails published on WikiLeaks, exposing horrific scandals behind the scenes, came directly from Russian Government hackers. In fact, WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, denied it outright but he was not believed. At one stage the mainstream media, all of the Clinton supporters, and the Demorats (we call Democrats Demorats in GMJ Books) themselves, were so desperate to get away from the relentless exposed scandals that the Obama White House directly accused Russia of being behind the hacking:
"The US Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations. The recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts. These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process. Such activity is not new to Moscow—the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there. We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia's senior-most officials could have authorized these activities."
The above is the opening clause from a "Joint Statement" from the Department of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence made on October 7, 2016. Moscow said it was "rubbish" and Mr Putin started laughing openly but let us look at the statement closer, since it is used as "evidence" that the Russian's stole the election for Trump. I can tell you, there is nothing easier in the world than kicking up dust clouds when you are caught with your pants on your knees as the DNC (Democratic National Committee) was, the leaked emails could not be explained nor denied (although they tried, vaguely mentioning fraudulent changes made to the leaked emails but not exactly where) and so they went on the attack with the above statement. Also, I suppose, to create sympathy for themselves, they being the hacked victims here and not answering what was revealed. In law, ask me, I stood in court for many years watching the curse of society, lawyers, spin away and believing their own lies and I know the law also, better than most, when a lawyer start saying words like "is confident," "are consistent," "are intended" and "we believe" the first thought any judge and the opposing side have about his statements is that it is pure speculation, not evidence. Those four words, when you know what to look for in patterns, and we do, tells us everything. Interestingly, what many non-lawyers do not understand, is that no lawyer is allowed to lie openly in court, if he does, he may be disbarred for contempt. So to get past that aspect, they use words as the above: "is confident," "are consistent," "are intended" and "we believe" and then he is covered, saying that it was his "believe" at the time under instruction from his client, the court must decide whose version is correct, right? So he is covered, he did not lie outright and this is to be found all over the world, as ancient as is prostitution. The effect though is one of disbelief among those in the known, enough to dismiss the statement as crap, nonsense and of no legal standing whatsoever. I will never accept that statement as anything but a White House cover up and neither should you, where are the evidence beyond the blatant innuendos?
If you wish to prove to a court that hacking took place, you do so systematically and scientifically showing exactly how the break-in took place, how long, when and what was done (downloading the emails). You do not make vague and utterly embarrassing statements of speculation that you believe, that you "are confident, are intended, and, this is consistent" to what may have happened before (and is not even under consideration now to begin with). It is entirely a meaningless statement and shows desperation. It is not evidence at all, it their personal opinion and nothing else. Ask any detective you may be acquainted to regarding to what I said above and he will tell you - you will be laughed out of court and this is the Laws of Evidence 101, the very basics of law. Of course, the liberal, he is a clever fool, will tell you now that the "evidence" cannot be shown to you because of national security, and that, is even more laughable. Let me explain, when a country interferes in another's election, it is serious, it may even lead to war as it is an act of war under International Law to do so. Being this serious, the same in classification as the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941, logic will tell you that if they had any evidence, and I mean real evidence, then the matter would have gone to the UN at least to complain and make shrieking noises, embarrassing Russia to no end, yet, no such thing happened, why not?
All we have is a derisory statement without evidence, hence, they were deceitful (a deplorable right wing conspiracy perhaps, hello Hilarious, she mentioned the "Russian" attack many times, again without any evidence). You have to wonder how far the corruption goes when public figureheads are willing to make fools of themselves to support their elective candidate. How far can you abuse the machinations of State to help your cause before it becomes a genuine threat to democracy? Is it not enough to fly around on Air Force One to campaign for Hilarious when you should be working, being the self-proclaimed "leader of the free world?" You may also ask me why is this important to our story in Code Name Moonlight? Perception. As I explained earlier and Angelique got the image of a manly Mr Putin versus Mr Obama in a judo ring in your head, in counter terrorism perception is everything. If America looks weak, she will be attacked, hear my words, she will be attacked from within and from the outside. When America is attacked and perceived as weak, we on the outside suffer the consequence with her. This foolishness must come to an end.

We all know it's tempting when the weather gets cold to crank up the heating, but are you taking it too far?
The recommended temperature for your home is between 18°C - 21°C according to the Energy Saving Trust. For the very young and the elderly, this temperature may have to be increased slightly.
Having your heating set at a higher temperature than this quickly boosts your energy consumption and your bill. Reducing the temperature in your home by just 1ºC could make your heating bill up to £85 cheaper a year, according to nPower.
There are plenty of other ways you can save money on your energy bills, too. Follow this GHI advice to find out how...
4 energy myths debunked
You need to crank the thermostat up high when it's cold
- Wrong! The thermostat is designed to maintain a steady temperature in your home, it doesn't control the speed at which it heats.
Electric heaters are cheaper than radiators
- Wrong! It's much more efficient to use central heating with a thermostat and a timer than it is to use an electric heater, which can be one of the most costly types of heating. According to the Energy Saving Trust, installing and correctly using a programmer room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves could save you £75 a year.
Keeping the heating on low is more efficient than turning it off and on
- Wrong! Leaving the heating on when you're not at home wastes energy. Instead use the timer to make sure it's on at the times of day that it's needed. Make sure the clock on your timer is correct and remember to adjust it when the clocks change.
Keeping the hot water on all day will make sure you don't run out of hot water
- Wrong! Likewise, if nobody's using hot water, this is simply a waste that will use a lot of energy. If you use your timer to heat the water about half an hour before a shower in the morning, your tank should stay warm until midday.
4 energy saving tips that do work
Use extractor fans
- When it's cold use extractor fans in the kitchen and bathroom for as short a time as possible as they draw out the warm air. Just use until the area is ventilated.
Keep warm with curtains
- Keep curtains open during the day - the sun's rays can still heat the room. In winter, always close them at night, ideally just before the temperature drops, when the heating comes on so the heat doesn't escape through gaps in the windows.
Position your furniture
- Try to avoid placing sofas in front of radiators as they will absorb the heat rather than let it circulate throughout the room. If this isn't possible, at least pull the sofa away from the wall.
Banish draughts
- While some ventilation is necessary, and there's nothing wrong with a few natural draughts, you don't want to let any warm air escape your home. Igloo Energy recommends checking for draughts around the edges of your window frames, the gaps under your doors, and around your letterbox.
- Use a draught excluder inside the chimney to keep out the draughts when the fireplace isn't in use. Chimney Sheep is a good option, as its draught excluders work to block 94% of airflow.
