Vaginal Rejuvenation FAQs Dallas
Who is a candidate for this procedure?
Many women are concerned that they no longer experience the same pleasure they once did with intercourse. Consistently these women all say the same thing, "my vagina is too loose", "I have less friction during intercourse" or "I just don't feel anything during sex".
A major cause of these problems occurs during childbirth. Although, pregnancy is one of life's most rewarding and beautiful experiences, many women experience devastating side effects from it. Stretching and tearing of the vagina during childbirth can lead to vaginal relaxation and change in sexual function and sensation. If you experience these problems, then you may benefit from this procedure.
Why LVR?
Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation (LVR) restores the natural anatomy of the vagina, usually stretched or torn by child birth. It effectively enhances vaginal muscle tone, strength, and control. By decreasing the vaginal diameters as well as building up and strengthening the perineal body, vaginal tightening is achieved. At the same time, the external appearance of the vulva and perineum is improved and appears more slit-like and virginal.
Vaginal relaxation usually occurs from childbirth, but cal also occurs because of age, weight loss and weight gain. When the vaginal relaxation is excessive, the vagina is no longer at its optimum physiological state. As a result, sensations within the vagina and sexual gratification are diminished.
How do I know if LVR is right for me?
After childbirth, if you have said that "Sex" is just not the same because of looseness of the vagina, you may be a candidate for LVR. If you want to increase sexual gratification, LVR may be a viable option for you. Sexual organism in women has been related to the frictional forces within the vagina to pull on and stimulate the clitoris. Tightening the vagina improves these sensations.
Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation for the enhancement of sexual gratification is a modification of a standard existing gynecologic vaginal surgery used throughout the world for the treatment of vaginal relaxation and its associated symptoms. The procedure done for sexual enhancement and tightening is considered a cosmetic procedure and usually is not considered a medical necessity. If you suffer from symptoms of vaginal looseness and minimal stimulation with intercourse, this procedure may be right for you.
What is the recovery from this procedure?
After the procedure, most women experience some pain and soreness within the vagina for a few days. These are usually treated adequately with pain medications and topical ointments. Activities are gradually increased over two to four weeks. Sexual intercourse can be resumed six weeks after the procedure.

Stress Test Government
The Federal Reserve just finished its annual round of large bank stress tests. The banks all passed – meaning they had enough capital to withstand a massive financial shock and deep recession.
These stress tests are the political result of the government blaming banks, and not Fannie and Freddie, for the 2008 Panic and are designed to prevent another "market failure." The idea is that free markets have a tendency, all on their own, to lurch into panics, recessions or depressions. But if the federal government really wanted to develop stress tests to help maintain prosperity, we think it'd do a lot more good to stress test government, not the banks.
The biggest threat to prosperity has never been a market failure; instead, the biggest threat is "government failure."
Markets didn't fail in the Soviet Union, North Korea, Puerto Rico, Detroit, or Illinois. Government failed.
There are three main types of government failure. One, government policies, even if well-intentioned, often cause poor investment decisions that either lead to the very panics and depressions that some accuse free markets of causing or simply lower the long-term growth potential of the economy.
Two, the tendency of government to kick the can down the road for others to fix later. And, three, the fact that government, which claims to know how to keep private companies from collapse, can't stop government entities from collapsing because they don't operate like a business.
For example, right now the great state of Illinois has no budget, has not run a balanced budget in more than 15 years, and is technically bankrupt. Why has no one stopped this?
Where are the stress tests, regulations and "clawbacks" to punish those responsible for this financial mess? Government employees in Illinois seem to think they have more claim to the incomes and assets of the citizens of the state than the citizens themselves. This is a disaster that could – and should – have been avoided.
How can the Federal Government run deficits year after year, and project deficits for decades into the future, yet keep spending as if all was well? The US is in the midst of one of its longest recoveries ever and the government still couldn't pass any kind of reasonable stress test.
Government failure has always been, and will always be, a bigger threat than market failure. A free people have a natural incentive to fix incorrect consensus judgments in the market. Are a company's stock or bonds overvalued? Is a bank over-lending? If so, then markets work to correct them. The market punishes bad business decisions. Even if you don't think markets always fix themselves, at least you have to admit others have an incentive to do so.
Not so with mistakes by the government. If anything, government policies are more prone to create "herding" behavior because these policies are backed by government sanctions, like fines, or even jail. Take rules that require banks to lend for reasons other than the expected return on investment, like the Community Reinvestment Act. Ignoring this, if you think its bad business, could get you in big trouble.
We won't hold our breath waiting for the government to stress test itself, something many companies already do on their own without any government prodding. The reason we won't is because we already know what an honest assessment would say. The present course of government policy in many states – and the federal government as a whole – is unsustainable. Who's going to stress test that?

To Fight Another Day…
I've reached that point.
You know… that point in a project where all your "plans" have gone to shit, the project itself feels like a jumbled mess, your vision for its end seems further away than ever, and you feel like you've really only got 2 options: quit or start over.
That's where I am. I've got to quit or start over.
A couple of weeks ago now, Krissie issued the 10 Day Challenge, in which she urged people to commit to doing something healthy for themselves for 10 days. In response, I pledged that I would take my alloted 1200 – 1500 calories per day and start breaking them up into smaller, but more frequent meals. The plan was to eat at least 5 smaller meals per day in order to curb my hunger, speed up my metabolism, squelch that feeling of deprivation and stop myself from overeating in the evening. And it worked… for five whole days.
Then things started to fall apart.
First my work schedule changed, which made it impossible for me to eat several times during the day. Then my husband and I participated in a number of "social" events in the evening, all of which included food and drink and making merry.
But really, those aren't good excuses. The truth is, I've been on the downward spiral since my weigh in and doctor's appointment several weeks ago. Since that time, and the end of the pedometer challenge, I've really, really slacked off. Apart from the 5 days that I managed to actually adhere to my 10 day plan, I've eaten too much and exercised too little. And as a result, I've put on weight. A lot of it.
This morning I decided to face the music and weigh in. And I have to say, it's really hard for me to post this…. but I'm up. 9.4lbs. The last time I weighed I was at 244.4. Today, I'm at 253.8.
Part of me thinks, ok… that can't be right. I'm just retaining water or I ate a bit too late last night or my scale is on the the blink or someone's playing a joke on me. But the truth is, it's been almost a month since I weighed and since that time I've been, at best, inconsistent when it comes to keeping track of my calories and exercising. In fact, since the end of the pedometer challenge, I've pretty much stopped exercising altogether.
And the thing is, all of this just makes me wonder… am I one of those people who, however unconsciously, is prone to sabotaging her own success? Did I get so freaked out about losing 75lbs that I secretly decided to put 10lbs back on, just because being fat and helpless is more comfortable for me than being thin(ner) and empowered? I have to tell you, the idea of that being true is very, very frightening to me. I don't want to be that kind of person.
Anyway, like I said, it's time to quit or start over.
So… here's my start over plan:
#1: I'm going to restart the 10 day challenge.
I'm doing this just for myself. There's no *prize* this time around, but that's ok because even though I only managed 5 days before, those 5 days were important. During that time, I realized a few things about my eating habits. I started to notice patterns about when I'm hungry and about the kind of poor choices I make when I've allowed myself to get that grumble in my tummy. Eating smaller, more frequent meals helped curb my appetite significantly *and* helped me tackle the issue of portion size, which is something I've been struggling with for a long, long time. Thus, I don't want to just shrug this off as a competition I didn't finish… I want to finish it. I *need* to finish it. And, what's more, I want to make this a habit that I continue long after the 10 day period is over.
#2: I'm going to keep using the Food Confessional.
When I started the 10 day challenge, I also started logging my food over at the Food Confessional. It's probably no surprise then that when I stopped playing, I stopped logging. Food diaries aren't for everyone and I anticipate the day when my use of this tool will change, but for right now, I've realized that this is the kind of accountability I need, so as long as Paola will still let me, I'm planning to start tracking my daily food intake again today.
#3: I'm putting my pedometer back on.
The really GREAT thing about the pedometer challenge was the fact that it kept me motivated to move my ass on days when I didn't want to. After the challenge was over, I took the pedometer off and pretty much stopped moving. Again, this time, it's only for me, but I'm putting it back on *and* even though I've only got a few days left in May, I'm determined to earn Scale Junkie's 5k in May badge before the month is out. Walking 5k is something I *used* do almost nightly. (I can't believe how much I've slacked off as of late). Earning this badge is something I really need to do in order to prove several things to myself.
#4: Get Back on the Scale, Baby.
I think this one is self explanatory. I'm back to weekly weigh-ins.
#5: Participate in the Summer Blog Party.
As some of you may know, Scale Junkie came up with a great idea for a Summer Blog Party in which lots of her readers are going to host various challenges and offer prizes, etc., in order to get and keep people motivated this summer. My plan is to participate in this in a number of ways. I haven't worked out the particulars yet, but once I do, I'll post them here. Either way, however, I know that my participation will help me stay on track this summer, which is something I desperately need.
That said, speaking of Scale Junkie and badges. Although this is not a part of my "plan" I've decided to remove the 75lb loss badge from my blog and move myself back a few notches. It hurts me to do it, but I'd rather be honest about where I am than to keep a badge that I no longer deserve. I did lose 75lbs, but I haven't maintained it. So… now I've just got to work that much harder to get that badge back.
Anyway, I'm tempted to fill up this page with several more goals, but I think that's enough. One thing I do know about myself is that I have a tendency to overreach a little, and if nothing else, I have learned that I do better when I make more realistic goals for myself. Baby steps, right?
In the meantime, I know I have a struggle ahead.
I've worked hard to build some healthy habits over the last several months, and I've had some successes, but what I realize is that it is just too fucking easy to slip right back into the bad habits that got me into this condition in the first place. And let me tell you, that's pretty discouraging. It makes me wonder if I've really got it in me to keep fighting like this for the rest of my life. It makes me wonder if this will *ever* get easier. Will eating right and exercising *ever* just become the things I do? Or will they *always* be things that I have to FORCE upon myself?
I hope that someday I'll be in a place where every day, every meal, every bite is no longer a battle.
But for now, I'm still fighting. And I guess that's better than nothing.
10 Day Challenge Update: Two Days Down
So… my plan for Krissie's 10 day challenge is to replace my three meal a day plan with one that involves at least five, smaller meals per day — in the hopes that this will a) keep me from feeling deprived, b) keep me from overeating at dinner and c) allow my stomach to shrink a bit.
Day one was awesome. (Well apart from the piece of cake that I ate for my last meal of the day). I ate when I felt hungry, and found myself getting full after just a small amount of food. And as a result, my evening meals really weren't any bigger than those from during the day. *And* by the time I reached the day's end, I was about 300 calories under what I usually manage to squeeze into a day (and that's WITH the cake!)
Day two was much harder. My husband and I went to a boat show in the morning and then did our weekly grocery shopping together. As a result, we were out most of the day and therefore I couldn't just eat when I was hungry. I had to wait to eat, and as a result, I was pretty damned hungry. Still, though… I managed to keep each meal relatively small and I was well under my caloric intake for the day.
Anyway, even though today was a bit tougher, I'm feeling good about this new way of dividing up my meals. This is only day two, but I feel like I can stick it out for the full ten days and perhaps even make this a permanent change — which makes other changes seem a little less daunting.
In other good news, it turns out that I actually WON Fat Bridesmaid's pedometer challenge! It's so exciting because not only do I *never* win anything, but I also didn't have time to keep track of the other competitors, and therefore winning really was a giant surprise! I didn't win by much, though. Ready2shrink was hot on my tail with a whopping 259,927 steps — which is totally awesome! I'm seriously so proud of all the other people who stepped up (har!) to FBM's challenge. This was such a great idea and I really want to thank Fat Bridesmaid for issuing the challenge in the first place.
Yay for us!
Pedometer Challenge Wrap Up
I don't know about you guys, but I've had a busy week… which has resulted in poor eating habits but lots of steps. Here's my numbers:
Sunday: 12,574
Monday: 17,201
Tuesday: 17,039
Wednesday: 12, 254
Thursday: 16,454
Friday: 14,413
Saturday: 16,602
Sunday: 12,232
(click the link to see the pictures)
I'm not sure if we're supposed to count Sunday (today) or not, so my totals are as follows:
Week 3 Total(s): 106,537 (w/o today) -or- 118,805 (w/today)
Weekly Average(s): 15,220 (w/o today) -or- 14,851 (w/today)
Challenge Total(s): 290,753 (w/o today but w/bonus steps from wk 1) -or- 303,021 (w/today but w/bonus steps from wk 1)
Challenge Average(s): 13,854 (w/o today but w/bonus steps) -or- 13,773 (w/today but w/bonus steps)
I wish I'd had more time to keep up with the other people who were participating in Fat Bridesmaid's Pedometer Challenge, but I hope that everyone else benefited as much from this challenge as I did. Regardless of who "wins" I feel like I've already won. Even though this week was a tough one for me food wise, the pedometer strapped to my waist kept me moving my ass even on those days when I didn't really want to. So… I just want to say thanks to FBM for lighting a fire under me and for keeping us all moving over the last several weeks. *mwa!*
Anyway, I didn't weigh this week. I have no good reason for this except that I've been afraid of what the scale would say. I've really blown it food wise this week and I have no choice but to really buckle down from here on out. Perhaps not recording all of my food every day wasn't that great of an idea after all.
Lots to ponder.
Have a great week, everyone.

I have been a Dreamhost customer for a few years now, and wasn't completely satisfied with their service. Here's why:
- Dreamhost's servers are slow (a.k.a. web pages take forever to load). Actually, I have read that not ALL of their servers are slow, BUT definitely the server that I am on is slow.
- Dreamhost Support sometimes takes 16-24 hours to respond to support tickets. Sometimes they respond faster, sometimes slower – there is no rhyme or reason to it.
So, I decided to try HostGator to see if they are any better. They are. Here is why:
- Their servers are FAST! …at least the server I am on is fast. How fast? Well, a page that might take 10 seconds to load on Dreamhost takes about 5 seconds to load on HostGator. I don't know why this is, I only know this is.
- HostGator offers 24/7 support via chat! This is awesome. I have already used their 24/7 chat support 3 times with great results.
One limitation of HostGator is their administrative back end control panel (cPanel), which totally sucks compared to Dreamhost's homegrown control panel. cPanel is not intuitive. Dreamhost's control panel is intuitive.
Also, Hostgator doesn't allow you to turn off the main ftp account (this is a scary security flaw).
So, those are my totally unscientific opinions. If I had to choose one or the other, I would definitely go with HostGator based on the speed of their servers. BUT if you can get on a fast Dreamhost server, I would probably go with them since they offer more flexibility in their control panel.

Nina has done a cover shoot for Flare's February 2011 issue lately. She has also opened up about the diary she'd love to read, her most memorable day and the best date she had. A snippet can be found below, read more over at Flare. For the rest of the interview, pick up Flare Magazine's latest issue hitting newsstands January 10th.
The best date:
"It's a toss up between two: "[In the first], I was supposed to have a date with someone, and at the last minute I had to fly to another city for business. Not only was he extremely understanding of the whole situation, but he surprised me by flying to meet me for dinner later that night. I was shocked at how far (literally) he would go to surprise, and spend time with me. It was very romantic. [In the second], after a long, extremely exhausting, and emotionally draining day on set, I got back home to find my boyfriend in the kitchen making me dinner. He handed me a glass of wine and walked me into the living room where there was a massage table set up. He said 'You've had a rough day, I have a masseuse coming to the house in a few minutes and after you're finished with your massage dinner will be ready.' I almost died. That is what I call romantic and thoughtful."

In March 2010, Jackie Farnell transferred the reins of Scents-ible Solutions to Cynthia Loving.
Cynthia is an international instructor in Clinical Aromatherapy and a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist with a private practice in Greensboro, North Carolina specializing in integrative therapies.
She was first introduced to Aromatherapy in the mid 1980's. She graduated into advanced studies with master practitioners from around the globe in 1990, and has been teaching this modality since 1995.
In March 2018, Cynthia retired allowing Kimberly Seymour to continue the work Jackie began.

"Even even though he works at the oil rigs?" I requested. there has been a little bit a beat. Then we either laughed and Robbie cried slightly and he was once out and that was once it. After this, the partying ratcheted up a notch simply because Robbie began frequenting the Glasgow homosexual scene and could take me besides him. these discos have been a insurrection, I had no concept that somebody.
lifestyles, and much more approximately his, which used to be interesting. He talked very warmly approximately his previous companion, Dudley Moore, who had long past directly to an important movie occupation in the USA with Ten and the Arthur video clips. He basically loved Dudley yet felt that his luck in the USA had did not make him satisfied. in the course of our dialog, Peter informed me approximately an incident that happened very early on in his occupation. He had bought a phone name from the workplace of Prince Charles, which was once outstanding simply because each person knew Peter.
L.A. there has been nonetheless no information from Disney while I lower back, and after speaking at the mobile to my sister Janice, who stated that our mom getting very in poor health in a short time, i made a decision I needed to get domestic. the one cheap flight to Scotland i'll locate required a one-night layover in manhattan, and that i took good thing about it by way of reacquainting myself with the outdated local. I strolled up from the East Village to Union sq. and went into espresso store, one in every of my previous haunts, to get a few milky.
Rehearsals each day and chuckle uproariously at their very own jokes again and again. i used to be baffled by means of this until eventually my new ally Betty took me apart and defined that they have been guffawing on the jokes that they had written within the desire that the manufacturers wouldn't reduce them. everybody engaged on the pilot was once very stressful in the course of capturing, and that used to be comprehensible with lots at stake. A winning sitcom gives you thousands of bucks to the creation corporation, the studio (in this situation Disney), and.

His administration company was once setting out: I had performed a pilot that may develop into a chain, and he represented numerous others within the related place.

Are you a regular coffee drinker? A smoker? Wine aficionado? Well, that would explain why you can't shake off the stains on your teeth. Dr. Francesca DeRose and Dr. Maria DeRose Barnes at DeRose Dental help men and women living in or around Racine, Wisconsin, get rid of unwanted stains and brighten up their smile. Call or go online today to book a teeth whitening appointment.
Teeth whitening is a noninvasive cosmetic dental procedure that quickly and painlessly removes stains and discolorations on your teeth.
Jean Arthur, a restorative and cosmetic dentist in Providence, Rhode Island, invented the current version of teeth whitening in the 1980s, offering trays with peroxide. Today, close to 40 million people use teeth whitening services in the United States. DeRose Dental uses this proven method to give you the smile you desire.
The two types of professional teeth whitening are:
Your dentist applies a gel applied directly to the surface of your tooth.
Non-vital whitening is sometimes necessary when you've had a root canal, as a root canal can discolor your teeth over time.
The team at DeRose Dental performs all teeth whitening services outside the office by providing custom-made take-home trays for you to continue your treatment at home.
During your visit, your dentist creates a fitted mouthpiece that you take home with you. A team member gives you a carbamide peroxide-based whitening gel that you put in the mouthpiece at home. The entire procedure takes between 30 and 90 minutes.
This process can be repeated as many times as you'd like, though your dentist monitors your reaction to the treatment to make sure everything goes smoothly every time.
There aren't many side effects of teeth whitening. Most commonly, patients experience tooth sensitivity immediately after the procedure, as well as light gum irritation.
The team at DeRose Dental examines your medical and dental history before starting the treatment. That way, if anything comes up as a red flag, they know not to proceed.
Teeth whitening doesn't damage tooth enamel. It's considered the most robust tissue in the body, meaning that it can take a lot to damage it.
There have been no instances of whitening damaging pre-existing dental work. Nevertheless, crowns, fillings, bonding, veneers, and bridges might make results more difficult to see.
The Zoom in-office teeth-whitening process is simple and can potentially make your teeth up to eight shades brighter in just one visit.* At your appointment, one of the team members at DeRose Dental fits the upper and lower dental trays into your mouth. The trays will be filled with a hydrogen peroxide whitening solution.
Your practitioner will then cover your lips and gums to protect them from the powerful whitening solution. They fill the trays with the bleaching solution and position a specialized bright light over your teeth. The light and bleach work in unison to whiten your teeth as you sit back and relax. This occurs with three 15-minute treatments in a single visit.
The team ensures you're comfortable and relaxed between treatments. At the end, your dental expert covers your teeth in a post-treatment gel to reduce any sensitivity you might have after the whitening. Then it's finished. Your teeth are whiter, and your smile is brighter in about two hours.
The DeRose Dental team can also provide take-home teeth-whitening kits for a less immediate approach to whitening teeth over a couple of weeks.
To learn more about Zoom in-office and take-home options for teeth whitening, call or schedule a consultation at DeRose Dental today. Let's work together to revive your smile!
*Individual results may vary.
The team at DeRose Dental manufactures custom trays uniquely suited to your teeth so that they can last for up to 10 years. You'll need to purchase more bleach every two years or so.
Your dentist at DeRose Dental helps you establish healthy dental hygiene, and provides you with useful tips as to what stain-causing foods and beverages to avoid.
It's time for you to get rid of those unwanted to stains. Contact DeRose Dental by phone or online today to book a teeth whitening appointment.

Malta's coastal watch towers and their part in the fortifications
For centuries, the coastline of Malta has been dotted with lookout posts or watch towers that were built by the Knights of Malta during the 17th century.
These towers were manned nightly to watch the seaward approaches and to raise the alarm in the event of an imminent threat.
The positioning of these towers was planned as such so that one could see both neighbouring towers, which acted as an early warning system against invaders.
As soon as one tower spotted a suspicious event, a fire signal was started which was picked up by the neighbouring towers, in so doing carrying on the message.
A number of coastal towers were built during the reigns of Grand Master Alof de Wignacourt (1601 – 1622), Grand Master Paul Lascaris Castellar (1636 – 1657) and Grand Master Martin de Redin (1657 – 1660).
The aim was to strengthen Malta's coastal guarding system.
Wignacourt Towers
A total of seven towers were built under the order of Grand Master Fra Alof de Wignacourt, of which five remain today.
The Wignacourt towers, as they're referred to, were not just watch towers but formed important strongpoints in the Knights' tactical defence system for the Maltese islands, of which parts were vulnerable to attack from the coast.
These towers towers were the first to be built, and the Maltese watch tower grid was to be expanded by the Grand Master's two successors.
The Wignacourt Towers:
- Saint Lucian Tower – Marsaxlokk
- Saint Thomas Tower – Marsaskala
- Wignacourt Tower – St. Paul's Bay
- Saint Mary's Tower – Comino (island)
- Marsalforn Tower – Gozo (island) (demolished)
- Santa Maria delle Grazie Tower – Xgħajra (demolished)

Take the hassle out of planning your trip to Malta and be an informed traveller!
Lascaris Towers
Under the reign of Grand Master Juan de Lascaris-Castellar, seven towers were built in the period 1637 – 1640. As well as Wignacourt, Grand Master Lascaris paid for the building of these towers out of his own pocket, such was his dedication to fortifying Malta's coastal defences.
With the exception of St. Agatha's Tower in Mellieha (built in Wignacourt built), the Lascaris towers are smaller than Wignacourt's and consisted of two storeys, a flat roof and a parapet.
On some of the Lascaris towers, a cannon was positioned.
The Lascaris Towers:
- Ta' Lippija Tower – Ġnejna Bay
- Għajn Tuffieħa Tower – On the cliff between Għajn Tuffieħa Bay and Golden Bay
- Nadur Tower – Binġemma/Rabat (Malta)
- Qawra Tower – Ta' Fra Ben at Qawra point
- St. George's Tower – St. Julian's
- Sciuta Tower – Qrendi
- St. Agatha's Tower – Mellieħa (built in Wignacourt style)
- Xlendi Tower (Gozo)
- Dwejra Tower (Gozo)
De Redin Towers
When Grand Master Lascaris died aged 97, having ruled for 21 years, he was succeeded by Grand Master Marino de Redin, a Frenchman. He was a seasoned soldier and diplomat who was deeply concerned about the Island's security and vulnerability to seaward attack.
Aware of the deficiencies of the existing system, de Redin devised a coast-guarding plan whose main features wee:
- Each tower would be inter-visible and able to communicate with its neighbours by day or night
- Each tower would be manned by 4 men on a daily 24-hour guard basis. The guardsmen would be equipped with a musket and paid a regular monthly salary
- Each tower would be mounted with a small gun.
Grand Master de Redin built thirteen such towers at his own expense at key tactical sites in Malta, starting from Mellieħa in the North, eastwards to Żonqor, round to Bengħisa and ending near Zurrieq. The rugged Western coast was considered naturally inaccessible and needing no towers.
The cost of the thirteen towers amounted to 6,428 scudi or about €1,246 today, making the average cost of each tower about €96.
De Redin Towers:
- Ghajn Hadid Tower – Ghajn Hadid cliffs near Mellieħa (ruins)
- Għallis Tower – Naxxar
- St. Mark's Tower or Qalet Marku Tower – Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq
- Madliena Tower – Madliena
- Saint Julian' s Tower – Sliema
- Aħrax (White) Tower – near Armier Bay at the Northern most tip of Malta
- Bengħisa Tower – near Birżebbuġa (demolished)
- Xrobb l-Għaġin Tower – Marsaxlokk (ruins)
- Triq il-Wiesgħa Tower – Żabbar
- Delimara Tower (demolished)
- Żonqor Tower (demolished)
- Ħamrija Tower – close to Siġġiewi
- Wardija Tower – between Zurrieq and Ħal Far
Unfortunately, the successor Grand Masters after de Redin did not share the enthusiasm for building new towers and by the late 17th century the watch towers had fallen into disrepair, but eventually did receive attention and were maintained for future generations (and rulers of the Maltese islands).
It is interesting to note that in many locations of the towers built in the 17th century, Medieval watch posts or towers existed previously. This could suggest that the towers built under Grand Masters Wignacourt, Lascaris and de Redin were intended to augment and fortify pre-existing coastal defences.
Visiting the towers
Although most towers are not accessible to the public, a few are opened at specific times by volunteers of the caretaking organisation called Din l-Art Ħelwa. When the towers are open to visitors, a flag is lifted on top of the tower, to signal this event. These are the regular opening hours of the towers that are under the protection of this organisation:
- St. Paul's Bay Tower (Wignacourt) – Open Monday , Wednesday to Friday and the first Sunday of the month from 10.00-13.00h
- Santa Marija Tower, Comino (Wignacourt) – Open from April to October on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10.30am to 3.00pm
- St. Mark's Tower, Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq (de Redin) – Open by appointment only
- Għallis Tower, Salina (de Redin) – Open by appointment only
- Dwejra Tower, Gozo (Lascaris) – Open all year from Monday to Friday from 09.00-15.00h and on Sundays from 12.00-17.00h
- St. Agatha's Tower, Mellieħa (Lascaris) – Open from Monday to Sunday from 10.00-13.00h. Tuesdays open from 10.00 -16.00h

Family Film Guide
This week's guide to current cinematic releases and their appropriateness for children under the age of 17.
Turn Back the Clock
Marvin (Jerry Stiller) and Harriet (Kathy Bates) are husband and wife in this idiotic romantic comedy about regaining lost youth and discovering the enduring power of love. After Marvin and Harriet argue about who would have scored more in high school had they not gone steady with each other, a magical toaster sends the couple back to 1958 when their grandson (Ashton Kutcher) inserts a low-fat blueberry-frosted Pop-Tart into it. In the end, both Marvin and Harriet (played in their youth by Haley Joel Osment and Amanda Bynes) spurn their suitors (Macaulay Culkin, and an Olsen twin) to go steady with each other, just as the first time around.
Rated PG-13 for scenes involving semi-topless making out; use of inappropriate word to refer to Jewish individual; greasy-cheeseburger eating; seatbelt non-use; swimming within thirty minutes of eating lunch; depressing themes implying life is no bowl of cherries; and an inexplicable farting joke that extends for many horrible, excruciating minutes.
Alien Justice
Confused by ambiguous English-language terminology, an army of space aliens led by Emperor Zoltar (Ted Danson) takes over the Department of Justice and changes American immigration policy in this retarded Adam Sandler vehicle. Sandler plays David, a custodian who escapes the aliens by hiding in a dumpster during the takeover. As the only remaining human employee in the entire Justice Department, Sandler must single-handedly find a way to destroy the aliens, restore the banished human souls to their now alien-occupied bodies, and defend current immigration policies, including newly enacted restrictive visa regulations. The film takes a downward turn when David convinces a four-star general (Sherman Helmsley) to use mustard gas on the aliens.
Rated PG for depiction of highly advanced alien civilization (suggesting mankind may not be God's favored creation); a scene showing the Attorney General straining on toilet that may undermine respect for rule of law; occasional profanity.
Risky Business 2: Still Riskin'
It has been 21 years since Joel Goodson was admitted to Princeton despite running a weekend bordello out of his parents' suburban Chicago home. Now Joel (Steve Buscemi) is nearing 40 and facing divorce for the second time in Sofia Coppola's offbeat black-and-white sequel. Drowning his sorrows in a local watering hole, whom should Joel meet but Lana (Rosie O'Donnell), the prostitute who turned Joel's life upside-down so many years ago? The two rekindle their romance (and relive their famous sex-on-the-train scene, with somewhat more jiggling), but the inconveniences of Lana's profession along with a persistent case of Hepatitis C threaten to drive the couple apart forever. The bleak tone of this quirky art film is punctured only by occasional appearances of Joel's old friend Miles (Will Ferrell) whose juvenile sense of humor persists despite making a fortune during the late 90s Internet boom.
Rated R for a joke involving a flaming bag of dog crap; train-sex; and graphic depiction of a gory liver-transplant operation gone terribly, terribly wrong.
Death with Beth
Quentin Tarantino's new film stars Jim Carrey as Harry Harrison, a New York-based serial killer with too much time on his hands. When Harrison makes a visit to Chicago, he meets like-minded serial killer Elizabeth (Julia Roberts) who has slaughtered her way through several Great Plains states. Together, the new couple embarks on a killing spree of unparalleled magnitude and depravity. Using a selection of power tools purchased at a local hardware store (whose owner is played to hilarious perfection by Ed Begley Jr.), Harry and Elizabeth maim, torture, and kill over one hundred innocent victims until a local sheriff (Shaquille O'Neal) outsmarts them, and puts an end to the gruesome killing spree.
Rated PG for mild sexual innuendo; vomit joke.
Blowing Nemo
In this hard-core porn spoof of Pixar's recent animated hit, young Nemo (voiced by Freddie Muniz) finds himself lost in a sketchy undersea neighborhood populated by thieves, whores, corporate executives, and other scoundrels. When Nemo is captured by the neighborhood's "King Pimp" (Chevy Chase), Nemo's agoraphobic dad (Billy Bob Thornton) must fulfill the sexual fantasies of everyone in the neighborhood if he is ever to see his son again. Probably keep the kids away from this one!
Rated G, despite extended, graphic depiction of vigorous oral, vaginal, and anal sex; a scene involving a monstrous strap-on sexual aid; gratuitous "ass-to-ass action"; toilet humor; implied smoking of hashish pipe.

Electric energy consumption is essential for promoting economic development and raising the standard of living. In contrast to other energy sources, electric energy cannot be stored for large-scale consumption. From an economic viewpoint, the supply and demand of electric energy must be balanced at any given time. Therefore, a precise forecasting of electric energy consumption is very important for the economic operation of an electric power grid.
The ability to create a forecasting model for an individual consumer can help determine the overall load on the grid for a given time.
For this post, we will classify this as a time series prediction problem and only use one variance. Check back for a post where introduce mutli variance.
The Dataset :
I used Smart Meters Texas or SMT portal to access my home electricity usage. SMTstores daily, monthly and even 15-minute intervals of energy data. Energy data is recorded by digital electric meters (commonly known as smart meters), and provides secure access to the data for customers and authorized market participants
In addition to acting as an interface for access to smart meter data, SMT enables secure communications with the customers in-home devices and provides a convenient and easy-to-use process where customers can voluntarily authorize market participants, other than the customer's retail electric provider or third parties, access to their energy information and in-home devices.
Tools :
Keras: Keras is an open source neural network library written in Python. It is capable of running on top of TensorFlow, Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit, Theano, or PlaidML. Designed to enable fast experimentation with deep neural networks, it focuses on being user-friendly, modular, and extensible
TensorFlow : TensorFlow is an open-source software library for dataflow programming across a range of tasks. It is a symbolic math library and is also used for machine learning applications such as neural networks
The Algorithm: LSTM
In our case, we will be using a variant of Recurrent Neural Network ( RNN ) called Long Short Term Memory ( LSTM), why? time series problems are a difficult type of prediction modeling, LSTMs are good at extracting input features patterns when it's over a long period of time, LSTM have the capability of retaining it in memory, and use it to predict next sequences, this what my 3 months usage (in KWH) look like ( by 15 min interval ) :
for this example, I will only use a subset of the overall dataset, 3 days of electricity usage:
python :
loading the dataset:
# load the dataset dataframe = read_csv('AMS.csv', usecols=[1], engine='python') dataset = dataframe.values dataset = dataset.astype('float32')
Training Set and Test Set :
train_size = int(len(dataset) * 0.67) test_size = len(dataset) - train_size train, test = dataset[0:train_size,:], dataset[train_size:len(dataset),:]
model = Sequential()

 model.add(LSTM(4, input_shape=(1, look_back))) model.add(Dense(1)) model.add(Activation('tanh')) model.compile(loss='mean_squared_error', optimizer='adam') model.fit(trainX, trainY, epochs=50, batch_size=1)
trainPredict = model.predict(trainX)

 testPredict = model.predict(testX)
for plotting we shift the training and test sets :
# shift train predictions for plotting trainPredictPlot = numpy.empty_like(dataset) trainPredictPlot[:, :] = numpy.nan trainPredictPlot[look_back:len(trainPredict)+look_back, :] = trainPredict # shift test predictions for plotting testPredictPlot = numpy.empty_like(dataset) testPredictPlot[:, :] = numpy.nan testPredictPlot[len(trainPredict)+(look_back*2)+1:len(dataset)-1, :] = testPredict
if results were plotted, it would look something like the picture below:
Blue: actual usage
Orange: Test Set
Green: Predictions
if we zoom on the prediction part :
this is good forecasting, with a 0.19 RMSE
Summary :
With the electricity market undergoing a revolution, load forecasts have gained much more significance spreading across other business departments like energy trading and financial planning. Accurate load forecasts are the basis for most reliability organizations operations, like Electricity Reliability Consul Of Texas more commonly known as ERCOT. Accurate load forecasting will become even more important with Smart Grids. Smart Grids create the opportunity to proactively take action at the consumer level, storage level, and generation side, to avoid a situation of energy scarcity and/ or price surge.
Querying Ercot public dataset using AWS Glue and Athena
ERCOT is an acronym for Electric Reliability Council of Texas, it manages the flow of electric power to more than 25 million Texas customers — representing about 90 percent of the state's electric load. As the independent system operator for the region, ERCOT schedules power on an electric grid that connects more than 46,500 miles of transmission lines and 600+ generation units. It also performs financial settlement for the competitive wholesale bulk-power market and administers retail switching for 7 million premises in competitive choice areas.
ERCOT also offers an online and public dataset giving market participants information on a variety of topics related to the market of electricity in the state of Texas, which makes it a good candidate for AWS products: Glue and Athena.
Tools :
AWS Glue
AWS Glue is a fully managed extract, transform, and load (ETL) service that makes it easy for customers to prepare and load their data for analytics
AWS Athena
Amazon Athena is an interactive query service that makes it easy to analyze data in Amazon S3 using standard SQL. Athena is serverless, so there is no infrastructure to manage, and you pay only for the queries that you run
Scraping Data :
the data on Ercot website is available as a collection of .zip files, I used a python scraper from this github repository to only collect CSV files.
As an example, we will be collecting data about the total energy sold from this page
Using the previous tools the command would something like this :
python -m ercot.scraper "http://mis.ercot.com/misapp/GetReports.do?reportTypeId=12334&reportTitle=DAM%20Total%20Energy%20Sold&showHTMLView=&mimicKey"
the script will download the csv files and store them in a data folder :
At this point, we transfer the data to S3 to be ready for AWS Glue, an optimization of this process could consist of creating a lambda function with a schedule to continuously upload new datasets
Creating a Crawler
you can add a Crawler in AWS Glue to be able to traverse datasets in S3 and create a table to be queried.
At the end of its run, the crawler creates a table that contains records gathered from all the CSV files we downloaded from EROCT public dataset, in this instance the table is called: damtotqtyengysoldnp
And now you can query Ahead!
using AWS Athena, you can run different queries on the table we generated previously, here are some few examples :
Total energy sold by settlement point :
Getting the hours of the day: 11/12/2018 with the Max energy sold

A swarm of students converged at the University of Delaware's Harker Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering (ISE) Lab Thursday to participate in the Undergraduate Research and Service Celebratory Symposium, the culmination of 10 weeks of study and service.
With more than 400 students presenting details of their work, it was the largest gathering in the event's seven-year history. Students from more than 40 institutions participated. Their work spans the diverse intellectual domain at UD – from the arts to the social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, environment, health sciences, agriculture and natural resources, marine studies, education – and taps into the extensive expertise of many faculty mentors and external partners as well.
(Excerpt follows from UDaily article highlighting Joseph Gardner.)
Joseph Gardner, a junior fine arts major from Newark, Delaware, worked on a sculpture project – with ceramics and metalwork – that explored the desolation of post-nuclear Earth. As part of his study, he read much of physicist Herman Kahn's government report upon which Dr. Strangelove was based. His faculty mentor is Abigail Donovan, associate professor of art and design.
One of his pieces is a red, post-nuclear fire hydrant, with green slime oozing from it.
"You think about what a fire hydrant is – at its root it's a water supply," he said. "In a world that has seen devastation from nuclear explosions, there would be radiation-infected ponds, rivers. But with a tank underground, a fire hydrant could be your only chance of clean water – a necessity for human life."

|Magical Thinking
|Written by Mark Sell, BT Contributor
|October 2019
It fails before the joint crises of North Miami and Biscayne Bay
The word "crisis" derives from the ancient Greek krisis, for trial, or the anxiety of decision making, and, in medical parlance, the point at which an illness turns to either recovery or death.
It's hard to imagine a better word, whether discussing the health of Biscayne Bay or the state of North Miami's body politic, let alone that of the state, nation, and world. Urgency intrudes.
In Minnesota, where I wrote this column, and in Greater Miami, this summer ranked among the steamiest and wettest ever. In the Minnesota State Capitol, at Miami Beach City Hall, and around the world, marchers, many of them students, protested the climate crisis with signs reading "There Is No Planet B."
On September 20, Florida International University's Biscayne Bay campus hosted its second Biscayne Bay Marine Health Summit. Biscayne Bay is in dismal condition, with stormwater runoff, septic tank seepage, cracked pipes, and plenty of scientific and visual evidence. The conference sounded alarms for a state of emergency for Biscayne Bay.
Two events provided hammer blows. In August, a two-square-inch crack in a 55-year-old underground county sewer pipe 12 feet under the Oleta River in North Miami spewed more than 1.6 million gallons of waste into Biscayne Bay, forcing a no-contact advisory from Haulover Beach to Aventura.
Earlier, during Memorial Day weekend, an immense raft of sargassum strangled sea life throughout Biscayne Bay, with fishkills darkening the canals and stench wafting into Keystone Point yards and homes. These rafts, sometimes 100 miles or more across, have devastated the Caribbean, suffocating seas, beaches, and economies, all thanks to agricultural runoff from the flooded Mississippi Basin, from Brazil's Amazon or Venezuela's Oronoco, congealing in the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic.
So the problem is at once local and global, or "glocal," to use an unprepossessing but apt new portmanteau.
Moving from the cosmic to the ridiculous, the September 17 North Miami City Council mud-wrestled with a 2019-20 budget that is a masterpiece of wishful thinking as it envisions a balanced budget of $75 million the next fiscal year. That evening's heroes were various residents from eight neighborhood or homeowners associations who one by one rose to give the city some informed and well-deserved hell.
As of this date, near the close of a fiscal year, the city reports a deficit of $8.5 million and anticipates a magical increase in fees and taxes to get out of it. At the same time, the city council is giving itself a 20 percent raise -- the second in two years -- which would translate into roughly $60,000 a year base for council members and $72,000 for the mayor. This follows the council members rewarding themselves with $12,000 raises in 2017.
North Miami's "part-time" elected officials are already among the most extravagently paid in Miami-Dade County. Plus, the city manager and city attorney both get $240,000 a year. It's also worth noting that with just six years' service, council members get an additional deposit -- equivalent to 48 percent of their salaries -- into the state's pension funds. Then add health insurance, expenses, and car allowances. This isn't a reassuring move among a city ridden with cronyism, bloat, and worse.
We've written, too, about the $7000 in discretionary funds each council member is issued each year. This is their kitty for pet projects of all kinds. So if you take three years at $21,000 each, the breakout goes something like this: District 1 Scott Galvin: $61,000; District 2 Carol Keys: $23,900; District 3 Philippe Bien-Aime: $178,000; District 4 Alix Desulme: $204,000. The mayor, mostly former ex-Mayor Dr. Smith Joseph: $134,000.
Add it up, and you're talking better than $600,000 on a "budget" of $105,000 (or $21,000 x 5).
What are the consequences for going overbudget? None that we can find -- other than rewarding themselves with 20 percent raises.
That's not all. The cost of the mayor and council budget is up 50 percent year over year. About $95,000 allocated to the Ms. North Miami Scholarship Pageant actually appears to be a sham item funneled directly to the North Miami and Haitian-American chambers of commerce.
One can argue that this is but a drop in a big budget bucket. Yet one can also argue that how you do anything is how you do everything. As the current fiscal year ends, North Miami reports $56.2 million in revenues and $64.7 million in expenses -- hence the $8.5 million hole.
How then will the $75 million magically appear?
"It's robbing Peter to pay Paul," said Judy Brown of the westside Sunkist Grove Homeowners Association on September 17. "We need to get fiscally responsible. Where are our values?"
Where to begin? We might join the residents who suggest two priorities: more library funding and modest best practices for the climate crisis, one lot at a time.
Walk into the North Miami library around 2:30 any school day, and it's mobbed with kids of all ages hitting the computers, jamming the Internet to near-paralysis, with the shelves hungry for books. It has a dedicated, competent staff and administration. To its credit, the council heeded residents and put a bit more in the library's budget, but why not move some of that self-serving overhead fat to the library and give it more needed muscle?
Or how about shifting money from the council and manager to improve after-school recreation programs? The Parks and Recreation Department was once the pride of the county; there's a lot to build on there. Reward those who work hard and want to offer something of value; encourage those who want to learn and do better; and fire the lazy and those who coddle them, all the way to the top. That should be true in any department.
As for the climate crisis, some news. In August, the firm Department Design Office of Cambridge, Massachusetts, won a competion sponsored by the Van Alen Institue and the City of North Miami to establish a slough with an imaginative design at a repetitive-loss flood-zone property at 901 NE 144th St., to relieve runoff in a neighborhood prone to flooding.
The city owns two such properties, but more than 70 have been identified and more will spread.
The odds may seem steep, but optimism of will is the only antidote for pessimism of intellect. It is past time to allay or reduce the disease in our body politic and the land and waters in which we dwell. The young must be part of this, as they will inherit crises that are now as sure as the tides.
Magical thiking alone cannot provide. The clock ticks.

Sidwell Friends School, Washington, D.C.
Although it's been around since 1883, the private Sidwell Friends School entered the public consciousness in November 2008, with the election of President Barack Obama. When the Obamas announced their two daughters would attend Sidwell Friends, the world got a look inside the school.
The cafeteria at Sidwell Friends emphasizes local vendors, as well as organic and fair-trade ingredients. It strives for a seasonable approach to meal planning to ensure the freshest ingredients are always available. Food waste becomes compost, which is then used to fertilize school gardens.
The school's list of lunches and snacks reads like a gourmet menu compared to the food in other American schools. Students look forward to dishes like Jamaican jerk chicken wings, plantains, strawberry and arugula salad, veggie chili, basmati rice and tandoori nan. Fresh fruit and salads are also available each day. Vegetarian and gluten-free choices are also offered on a regular basis.

Primetime Ratings: Solid Ratings for 'Idol'
American Idol's third episode of its tenth season began to stabilize this week, retaining most of its viewership in both the adults 18-49 demo and total viewers.
The show once again led Fox to an easy win Wednesday night with a 9.2 rating/24 share with adults 18-49, according to Nielsen overnight numbers. The 90-minute Idol averaged 25.2 million total viewers, down only 3% from the 26.1 million who watched last Wednesday's debut and up almost 12% from last Thursday's hour-long episode.
Last night's 9.2 rating was down a modest 5% from a week ago and up 19% from Thursday. Compared to last year's third night, which aired on a Tuesday, Idol was down just 9% with the demo and 3% with total viewers, narrowing last week's year-to-year losses and on par with the series' normal year-to-year losses in recent years.
It should be noted, however, last year's equivalent episode last year was on a different night (Tuesday) and only 61 minutes long.
ABC averaged a 2.1 rating with adults 18-49 for the night. Cougar Town fell 13% to a season low 2.1 while Off The Map stumbled 14% to a season low 1.8 rating.
CBS tied ABC for the night with the key adults demo, though beat it out for total viewers. Live To Dance continued to be outshined by Idol, but enjoyed a 10% boost to a 1.1 with adults 18-49. Criminal Minds also jumped a tenth to a 3.2, while Blue Bloods second airing in its Wednesday slot was on par with last week at a 2.0.
NBC followed at a 1.4/4, with Chase up 20% to a nonetheless lackluster 1.2 rating.
The CW picked up the rear with repeats, posting an overall 0.4/1.

Cranial Technique 1968 FOREWORD
Throughout the history of health and healing, great minds and dedicated researchers have sought out the truth(s) underlying the healing process. Ancient Chinese acupuncturists, yogis throughout time, ayurvedics, Hahnemann on homeopathy, shamans of all cultures and D.D. Palmer of chiropractic all arrived at the same conclusion: there exists some mysterious force or energy that is ultimately responsible for the healing process.
In basic scientific research, any viable theory must be able to account for all observable phenomenon with relationship to the subject in question. In scientific principle, if a theory cannot account for events witnessed by all observers, it is not worthy of scientific process right from the start. If a theory does not offer a viable explanation for the miraculous events observed in chiropractic, homeopathy, acupuncture, yoga, intentional breathing, etc., it cannot be scientific.
Western medicine is void of any such underlying principle, philosophy, or theory. The closest related concept might be the germ theory. However, this does not account for those who survived the Spanish flu in the early 1900s when 20 million perished. Nor does it account for those who survived the Plague; only those who did not. With these observations in mind, the epistemologists of the healing process all came to look beyond the simplistic, externally-based concepts to a more holistic and vitality-based process. Descriptions of the healing force such as "ki" or "chi" of acupuncture, the vital force, prana and kundalini energy, orgonne and innate intelligence emerged.
Until Dr. De Jarnette, most of the major chiropractic investigators usually made a case for a specific body area as being the major key to health. Some placed all of their emphasis upon the cranium. Others believed the atlas or the pelvis or the sacrum to be the predominant structure from which all imbalance arose. In his investigations, Dr. De Jarnette proposed a system of chiropractic called, Sacro Occipital Technic™ (SOT® Methods). In SOT® Methods, a person is looked upon as a reflex being. As Dr. A. E. Homewood describes in his benchmark textbook, The Neurodynamics of the Vertebral Subluxation, the human condition is exquisitely complex and interrelated. Subluxations in chiropractic compromise the performance of the nervous system. The neurological ramifications can extend throughout the entire system and may manifest anywhere. An alternate title for this book is "Anything Can Cause Anything." This subtitle tells all. Dr. De Jarnette was keenly aware of this reality, and teased out many of the specific ways in which structural distortions can produce aberrant neurological function. Through his investigations, Dr. De Jarnette, or "The Major," as he came to be known by his many followers, developed an extensive system of indicators that gave insight to the practitioner as to which of the many forms of subluxations were occurring in any given individual. Above all, he realized that the human condition is an integrated, complex, and holistic system.
Early in his research, Dr. De Jarnette realized the importance of the human cranium and made references to such as early as the 1930s. His research focused on other aspects of the human condition for several decades. Viscerosomatic reflexes, trapezius fibers, occipital fibers, and the pelvic Category system took the predominance of his time and attention. All the while, however, he understood the importance of the cranium, and he knew that it was impossible to treat the entire rest of the body and the cranium as separate entities. Eighty percent of the nervous system is in the head and can be influenced by cranial structures. However, the other 20 percent enervates every conceivable structure of the body and reflexly influences the brain and cranial function. Dr. De Jarnette beautifully mapped out these complex interrelationships and proposed some of the first-ever descriptions of the stress patterns in the cranium as associated with the overall skeletal structural imbalances. The Major set the basic understanding of the total body interrelationships that continue on even today. Researchers such as Dr. Hirotaka Miyano of Japan, who has meticulously mapped out every aspect of the cranial distortion patterns emanating from the pelvic category distortion complexes, are still carrying out the work inspired by De Jarnette. Much of the ongoing and newly-developing cranial technologies emanate from the groundbreaking text of Dr. M.B. De Jarnette in 1968. Having studied the human condition in total for almost 40 years, he produced his first textbook totally dedicated to the human cranium.
The 1968 Cranial Technique by M.B. De Jarnette, D.C., was not only pivotal in SOT® Methods Chiropractic and SOT® Craniopathy Methods but became a launch pad in cranial technique. It is an essential study for the student as well as the seasoned veteran of cranial manipulation. It is extremely useful, if not essential, in the understanding of the basis of chiropractic Craniopathy, and it outlines some fundamental constructs upon which much of SOT® Craniopathy Method is based. As a young physician and scientist, Dr. M.B. De Jarnette set out to demonstrate how all of chiropractic worked. He successfully gave us an integrated approach that can philosophically and neurologically take into account all of the varying forms and formats seen in chiropractic therapeutics embraced by numerous chiropractic techniques. In the 1968 Cranial Technique manual, he delivers an essential key ingredient to this overall theory of the basis of chiropractic. It is beautiful. It is simple. It is overwhelming. It is complex. But most importantly, it makes you think.
1968 marked the grand unveiling of M.B. De Jarnette's first publication dedicated exclusively to cranial technique. It is just as pertinent and important today as it was over four decades ago. If more physicians dedicate themselves to the task of treating the causes of suffering humanity, this book will be even more important in all future. In the 1968 Cranial Technique you will find the most exhaustive descriptions of the primary cranial distortions and their corrections that De Jarnette has ever written. The insights and understandings afforded by this publication in the analysis and treatment of primary occipital, temporal, and frontal bone corrections are paramount to the effective cranial practitioner.
Many of the technologies outlined in the 1968 Cranial Technique have been expanded upon and developed by other practitioners over ensuing decades. The student will find the basis of sphenobasilar techniques as well as corrections utilizing dural membranes, including the falx. Also in this book is De Jarnette's only reference to the Area 1-2-3-4 Spreads. The Area Spreads are another highly effective collection of techniques that are unique to SOT® Craniopathy Method. Utilizing these cranial strategies, the practitioner can experience the elation of witnessing profound therapeutic changes for his or her patients that may not be possible by any other means.
In the spirit of 'The Major', the text remains in its original form as written in 1968. The typeset has been improved and the drawings revised, allowing easier access in utilization of the information by the student as well as the experienced practitioner.

Facade Inspection
In order to protect the public's safety, the RBQ has implemented Bill 122, which requires a thorough facade inspection under the direction of an engineer who is a member of the "Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec" (OIQ) of all buildings with 5 floors or more.
Genispec's expertise in facade inspection
Genispec specializes in facade and structural inspections and our team of expert engineers, members of the OIQ, carry out thorough inspections of facades in accordance with the RBQ's Bill 122. Thanks to our rope access inspection method, we are able to offer you a complete facade inspection at a low cost, which includes intrusive inspections (openings) when necessary. Our engineers are available to guide you through the process of implementing a facade maintenance program with a view to preventing any defects which could present a risk to the public or the development of any hazardous condition which can later compromise the safety of the public.
Obligations of Bill 122 of the RBQ
As stipulated by Bill 122 of the RBQ, it is the responsibility of building owners to obtain an inspection report from an engineer every five years. This report must certify that the facades of the building in question are in good condition and do not present a risk. The facade inspection report provided by our engineers includes a detailed description of the observations and provides recommendations for correcting defects that could possibly contribute to the development of dangerous conditions.
Any facade inspection report produced by our engineers includes:
- A detailed report signed by an engineer, member of the OIQ, and compliant with the requirements of the explanatory guide of the RBQ.
- Recommendations for corrective work and recommended deadlines, if applicable.
- A photographic annex of the observations and the location of the defects on the elevation plan.
- A description of the remedial work required to keep the facades safe and a recommended maintenance program to follow.
- In the case where the facades are considered safe, a certificate signed by an engineer member of the OIQ will be given to you in accordance with the requirements of the RBQ.
Advantages of the rope access inspection method:
- Reduced costs
- Enables complete and thorough inspection that includes hard-to-reach areas
- Little disturbance
- No soil damage
Frequency of inspection reports
If the building was built 10 years or more from the date of the implementation of the law (18 March 2013), the report must be produced before the following prescribed deadlines:
- More than 45 years old (before 1968), a report must be produced before March 18, 2015;
- Between the ages of 25 and 45 (between 1968 and 1988), a report must be produced before March 18, 2016.
- Between the ages of 15 and 25 (between 1988 and 1998), a report must be produced by March 18, 2017.
- Between 10 and 15 years old (between 1998 and 2003), a report must be produced before March 18, 2018.
- Building built between 2004 and today, a report must be produced before the 10th anniversary of the construction date of the building.
Subsequently, the owner must obtain an inspection report of the facades every 5 years.

How to Create the Right Content at the Right Time: 6 Tips to Get You StartedNovember 13, 2015 - Less than a minute read
Timing is crucial in maximizing content marketing efforts. To make all your efforts count, you need the correct content to be seen by the right people at the perfect time. So how do you achieve this? Hubspot shares.
Timing is everything.
In fact, I'm willing to bet that you can think of a dozen instances where timing has been responsible for the success or failure of a particular task. For example, in cooking, it can mean the difference between a culinary triumph and a big, burnt mess. And in comedy, it can determine whether a joke falls flat or evokes a raucous laugh.
