Q: After taking time away from my career to raise my family, I'm now looking for my next position—and a new challenge. I feel so intimidated and overwhelmed as I look to re-enter the workplace. What I used to want out of my career has changed dramatically, given that I'm at a different stage of life. Where do I begin?
This is a great question that many female professionals decide to get coaching on. Many women take a break from their career to raise their family, and when they decide it's time to come back to work, everything has changed. Here are the steps I recommend to get yourself started on your new career journey:
During a recent coaching call, I was working with a client who was interviewing for a position that would require an hour commute to and from the office. She is the mother of two small children and if she got this position, it would require her to add after-school supervision and nanny services to her budget just to ensure she had proper care for her children during her extended workday.
I noticed through the conversation that the idea of her getting this position was causing her a lot of stress. We needed to step back and get clear on her "Ideal Job Criteria." We decided that for her to feel excited about a position while honoring her commitments at home she would need local work or a position that allowed her to work remotely. We also decided that it would be critical for her to have flexibility to stay home when her children were sick. Finally, her ideal job would allow her to work a 30 hour week as opposed to the standard 40 hour week so she could avoid having to pay for additional child care services. Once we got very clear on her needs, she was able to proactively discuss these criteria with potential employers rather than interview for positions that were not a good fit for her given her responsibilities.
This client also felt very stuck given that her former job title was very specific to a niche industry. The more she looked for positions of the same title and industry, the more hopeless she felt. In another coaching conversation, we spent time diving into her transferrable skill set. It was interesting to see that in her former position, she had extensive business development experience, success in building relationships with key accounts, and she had demonstrated very strong project management skills.
When she realized how many employers are hunting for these skills, she could quickly see how she could confidently apply for more positions outside of her current industry and know she would be a great fit for them.
We spent some time talking about what she loves doing. This part is important and often overlooked. Because she was unemployed and looking for a new position, she felt at the mercy of employers. When we focused on what she loves doing, it helped us select a handful of positions for her to pursue that she was not only qualified for, but that she would also thoroughly enjoy doing.
Finally, I invited her to do a fun exercise. She created a list of every position she'd ever had (yes, including the babysitting job at age 12 and her days as a dairy maid). In columns, she captured the aspects of each position that she really enjoyed as well as the aspects that she really didn't enjoy. When she reviewed these observations, she found that she had new items to add to her "What I love doing" and "Transferable Skills" lists, and she had new "Ideal Job Criteria," based on all that she didn't enjoy about her previous jobs.
I'm happy to report that this client has found a position that meets her criteria and truly leverages her skills. She's very excited about this position and I am sure she's aligned for success. Follow these four steps yourself and watch how quickly you start to see new opportunities opening up before your eyes!

Oh Ros - is there no way of going my train?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Jo. I went by train last time. It's not an easy route - three trains and a taxi - but this time I wanted to bring some heavy stuff home with me and you can't do that by train!Delete
Hi Jo ... I don't have sat nav and tend to use whatever remnants of a brain I have and intuition as to which way to go - so I definitely get thrown if I can't go 'my route' ... well done on getting home safely ... and yes the whisky was definitely deserved. Next time ....? Relaxez-vous ... and have a good rest of the week - cheers HilaryReplyDelete
Believe me I feel your pain. I hate roundabouts. Not many in TX thank goodness. It is tricky navigating new territory. But rest up and get on that horse again. I have faith in you, and there's lots to see and do out thereReplyDelete
Oh how horrible. That's the reason I gave up driving,I hated it.ReplyDelete

The NBA suspended Houston Rockets James Harden one game on Monday, a day after kicking Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James which the Rockets won in overtime.
Harden gets the fragrant foul for the kick but the league wasn't satisfied about it. Lebron also involved in a scuffle with another Houston guard Patrick Beverley. Lebron scored 37 points but failed to convert a couple of free throws in the dying seconds of the game resulting to Cleveland's loss.

If you or someone you know was injured pushing a car that ran out of gas in Michigan, you need to find the best possible car accident lawyer to handle your case. Our car accident lawyers at Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. have earned the trust of car accident injury victims in Michigan for over 40 years by handling their cases with both skill and dignity. The Michigan car accident lawyers represent clients injured in car accidents throughout the State of Michigan.
By Michigan law a driver is required to move their vehicle off the main traveled portion of roadway after they run out of gas or if an accident has occurred. Often times, a driver will ask a passenger to help push their car out of the roadway. Oncoming traffic poses a high risk of injury for anyone trying to perform this maneuver such as closed head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, scarring and disfigurement, and broken bones.
Often times, if injury occurs the driver who asked the passenger to help push their car off the road because it ran out of gas is liable. The driver is liable because they ran out of gas blocking traffic and put their passengers' life at risk for serious injury or even death.
Our car accident lawyers in Michigan advise victims of their legal rights. For this type of accident the injured passenger can submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits. No Fault benefits will cover their medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident.
In addition, the injured passenger may be able to file a lawsuit against the driver who asked them to push the car out of the roadway and for the injuries suffered in the accident. In this lawsuit, the injured victim can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case.
When choosing your Michigan lawyer, it is vital to choose the right lawyer in order to receive a fair settlement. Your auto accident lawyer can also help you receive all of your Michigan No-Fault Insurance benefits, including medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care services, and other benefits.
"When an individual is injured in an accident, it is important that that person hires a Michigan auto accident attorney who will pay detailed attention to the case. By limiting the number of cases our personal injury law firm accepts, our top rated auto accident attorneys can devote our full time and energy to each client," says Partner and Trial Attorney Lawrence J. Buckfire

An 18″ coil spring screen door closer like the one at your grandmother's front porch will bend and flex enough to enable you to force clogged debris back out. I bought one at a local hardware store for $3.00. It works just fine.

The backing on chair mats is also essential when determining which will work best for your carpet or work surface. If the mat is intended for use on a carpet, be certain to make sure it has small anchors or studs that will grip the carpet and prevent the mat from sliding. These anchors are specifically designed to not damage the carpet surface or carpet backing. Hard floor chair mats feature have a smooth backing that will not scratch or damage the floor below while preventing the mat from sliding. Bamboo chair mats for hard surfaces come with a unique non-slip felt backing which works in the same capacity in that it protects your hard wood floor while keeping the mat in place.
An ergonomic office chair is designed to provide support to the neck and back especially for those who may sit at an office chair for long periods of time. One of the most important function of an ergonomically designed chair is its ability to adjust to every part of the user`s body. If you`re not sure if a chair is ergonomically designed, you can usually determine that by checking to see if there is a height adjustment feature and if there are adjustable features for the back, headrest, and armrests. These seating units also provide adjustable mechanisms that allow the seat to tilt forward or backward and also provide adjustable lumbar support.

From A history of ancient sculpture, Volume 2 By Lucy Myers Wright Mitchell
The Laocoon group, now in the Vatican, was discovered in Rome in 1506, near the Sette Sale, the site of Titus' palace on the Esquiline. Popular tradition indeed continues, through the modern guides, to point out, as the spot of its discovery, the Baths of Titus, where the niche is shown from which it is said to have been taken, — proved, however, by measurements, to be much too small for the large pedestal of the Laocoon group. The site of discovery corresponds, then, with Pliny's statement; but in one feature the Vatican Laocoon fails to coincide with what the Roman writer says, viz., as to its being of one block. Michel Angelo, who attempted but relinquished the restoration of the right arm, found the group to be composed of three different pieces ; and subsequently three other blocks were distinguished. Repetitions of certain parts of the group exist, but are either late Roman copies, or, in some cases, directly traceable to the sixteenth century, when the Vatican group was greatly admired, and parts of it copied.1184 There can, therefore, be little doubt, that the Vatican Laocoon is the identical work mentioned by Pliny, as being in Titus' palace; and that his statement, that it was in a single block, is due to his love of the superlative, is confirmed by the fact that he makes the same assertion with regard to the Farnese Bull.
From Painters, sculptors, architects, engravers, and their works: A handbook By Clara Erskine Clement Waters
Agesander, native of the island of Rhodes. Pliny is the only writer who speaks of him, and but one work of his is known,— the " Laocoon " of the Vatican. In this he was assisted by Polydorus and Athenodorus. Another statue, found at Antium, shows that Athenodorus was the son of Agesander. It is thought not unlikely that Polydorus was also his son, and that the figure of Laocoon was executed by the father, and the remaining figures by the sons. This group was found near the baths of Titus, on the Esquilino Hill, in 1506. It is considered a most perfect work by all competent judges, and is very wonderful from the fact, that while it portrays the most intense suffering in every feature, limb, and muscle, it still has the sublime repose of true Grecian art. Laocoou was a priest of Apollo, and had committed some crime against that god, who sent two immense serpents from the island Tenedos to kill him just as he was ottering a sacrifice, assisted by his two sons. Laocoon had opposed the reception into Troy of the horse left by the Greeks; and his death was believed by the Trojans to be a divine punishment for this; therefore a breach was made in the walls and the horse admitted; thus the death of the priest decided the ruin of Troy.

The analysis of beauty By William Hogarth
Simplicity, without variety, is wholly insipid, and at best does only not displease; but when variety is joined to it, then it pleases, because it enhances the pleasure of variety, by giving the eye the power of enjoying it with ease.
There is no object composed of straight lines, that has so much variety, with so few parts, as the pyramid: and it is its constantly varying from its base gradually upwards in every situation of the eye, without giving the idea of sameness, as the eye moves round it, that has made it been esteemed in all ages in preference to the cone, which in all views appears nearly the same, being varied only by light and shade.
Steeples, monuments, and most compositions in painting and sculpture, are kept within the form of the cone or pyramid, as the most eligible boundary, on account of their simplicity and variety. For the same reason, equestrian statues please more than the single figures.
The authors—for there were three concerned in the work—of as fine a group of figures in sculpture, as ever was made, either by ancients or moderns, I mean Laocoon and his two sons, chose to be guilty of the absurdity of making the sons of half the father's size, though they have every other mark of being designed for men, rather than not bring their composition within the boundary of a pyramid, figure 2, plate 7. Thus if a judicious workman were employed to make a case of wood, for preserving it from the injuries of the weather, or for the convenience of carriage, he would soon find by his eye, the whole composition would readily fit and be easily packed up, in one of a pyramidal form.

From http://www.cidrap.umn.edu
Lisa Schnirring Staff WriterMar 26, 2013 (CIDRAP News) – A man from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) hospitalized in Germany with a novel coronavirus (NCoV) infection died today, according to reports from German health officials and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Germany's Robert Koch Institute (RKI) said in a statement in German that the man died today from a severe infection. He had an underlying illness and was on a ventilator when he was flown to Munich and hospitalized on Mar 19 and diagnosed with an NCoV infection on Mar 23. The RKI also said lab tests revealed other respiratory pathogens, but it did not say which ones.
The World Health Organization (WHO) today confirmed the patient's NCoV infection and death, noting that he was a 73-year-old man who had been transferred by air ambulance from a hospital in Abu Dhabi to Munich.
In its statement the WHO also confirmed the death of a British man who was the index patient in a recent family case cluster of NCoV infections. The latest developments push the global number of confirmed NCoV cases to 17, including 11 deaths.
The WHO said it is working with experts and countries that have reported cases to assess the situation and review recommendations for surveillance and reporting. It reminded countries to promptly report any new NCoV cases, including information about potential exposures and a description of the clinical course.
WHO's statement included no other information about the cases, but new details about German's latest imported case were included in some media reports. According to a report in German today from Bild, a newspaper based in Berlin, the man died of "circulatory shock" at Munich Municipal Hospital. It said the man was a member of the ruling family of Dubai and got sick after going to a camel race.
The RKI said the identification of a second imported NCoV case in Germany doesn't increase the risk to the general population, because so far there is no evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission.
Global health officials have not determined how the virus spreads to humans, but genetic sequencing studies have suggested that the new virus is most closely related to bat coronaviruses.
So far all countries linked to the infections are in the Middle East: Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Two of the patients in the three-person British family cluster did not have a recent travel history, but they did have contact with the index patient, who had recently traveled to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in an update today that NCoV symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. It said NCoV isn't like any other coronavirus that has infected humans before, including SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome). However, it added that, like SARS, NCoV is most similar to coronaviruses found in bats.
Investigators are trying to determine the source of the virus and how it spreads, the CDC said. It added that coronaviruses usually infect only one species or a small number of related species. However, the CDC noted that the SARS coronavirus can infect a range of people and animals, including monkeys, Himalayan palm civets, raccoon dogs, cats, dogs, and rodents.
So far no infections have been reported in the United States, and no travel warnings have been posted for any countries.

The Saddleworth Cheese Company, founded by former Corrie actor Sean Wilson with partner Mark Revell, are thrilled to be adding three more awards to their growing collection of accolades. Crumbly Lancashire cheese 'Muldoon's Picnic' scored a hat trick at this year's International Cheese Awards in Nantwich. The International Cheese Awards is the biggest and reportedly the best cheese festival in the world with thousands of competitors so this is a huge achievement for the pair of artisan cheese makers. Saddleworth were awarded Gold for the Territorial Cheese of the Year and Highly Commended in the Speciality Cheese Category but were tickled pink with the Bronze they received for the best Farmhouse/ Traditional Crumbly because according to Sean "all the big guns want to win this!'.
Sean is best known to British TV viewers for playing Martin Platt for 21 years in Coronation Street. He has always had a passion for food and after his time on the UK's most famous Soap trained at a Michelin starred restaurant under Nigel Haworth. After a chance meeting with a Lancashire Cheese Maker in 2009 Saddleworth Cheese was born.
As the business goes from strength to strength, Saddleworth's range with the most amusing names including favourites 'Mouth Almighty', 'How's yer Father', 'Muldoon's Picnic' and' Smelly Ha'peth' can be found on deli counters, in specialist food shops, and at branches of Asda and Morrisons across the UK.
A born and bred Northerner, who has lived in and around the north east and Manchester all his life, Sean attributes his love of food to spending time in the kitchen with his grandmother as a child. As well as establishing a successful business, Sean has been busy with 'Great Northern Cookbook' a channel 5 TV series currently broadcasting on The Food Network. A book of the same name 'Great Northern Cookbook' reached the Amazon Food & Drink bestseller list earlier this year and has given Sean the opportunity to introduce his audience to the very best recipes from the North of England.

A massive sea turtle caught in fishing gear off the coast of New Jersey was freed by a team of rescuers this weekend.
A good Samaritan on a recreational fishing boat spotted the entangled, leatherback turtle offshore on Saturday and reported it to the Coast Guard, which then led an effort to rescue the approximately 800-pound animal.
A crew from the Coast Guard's Atlantic City station took a member of the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine to a 45-foot response boat located near Corson's Inlet. A crew from the Coast Guard's Cape May station operated the boat.
The rescue team used GPS coordinates provided by the Good Samaritan to find the leatherback turtle, which is one of the largest living reptiles, about 30 miles off the coast of southern New Jersey.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Nick Giannaris, who removed the fishing gear from the turtle, said it was one of his better experiences in the Coast Guard, "just seeing the animal so close and helping marine life. Everyone was pretty energized about the whole experience."

A new survey highlighting mobile users' limited knowledge about their handsets will not have provided any cheer to operators or third party content providers seeking to raise interest in data services.
The study, conducted by market-research company Ipsos MORI in conjunction with LogicaCMG, found that 58% of users are oblivious to basic details of the make and model of their phones.
As reported by Telecommunications magazine, the survey highlights one difficulty in persuading consumers to buy subscriptions to MMS and other data services.
"This research demonstrates that many operators could well be trying to sell advanced data services based on the incorrect assumption that the users they are communicating with have basic knowledge of their own handsets," said Paul Gleeson, chief operating officer at LogicaCMG.
"Mobile data services are much more complex to deliver to consumers than voice services – just sending through the right service book to enable MMS depends on knowing to which handset it is going."
According to the survey, users most familiar with advanced data services were men between the ages of 15 and 34.
This same group was the most likely to know about their handsets, while women and the over 55s were the most ignorant of mobile data and device details.
The research, done last autumn, was based on a sample of 761 mobile users in the UK aged 15 and older.

First went to Ambeng Cafe by Ummi Abdullah with my sisters to meet the in laws to discuss the wedding prep and everything just to make sure everything was .. you know, everybody was on the same page.
It's not my dream wedding, but it'll have to do. Get it over with. The most important thing is the nikah anyways, right?
So yada yada.. After the short lunch and after the in laws left, the sisters and i went around East Village's little boutiques to look at the clothes. And i must say that they do have a lot of interesting outfits over there. I'm trying not to spend on clothes right now because i think i might be needing a new laptop soon (mine just powers off on it's own when it's idle for like 5 minutes, it's like it just faints and pressing the power button is equivalent to a tight slap)
So after that we trundled along in Myst Exile's little van through the busy sunday road and went to Vivo City. We were going to watch Lights Out at the cinemas. It'll be my second time, but i love that show! The Strange Tea wasn't actually keen to watch a horror show.. but i'm sorry, it's 2 against 1, my friend.
Before the movie we were buying snacks to sneak in the cinema with. At the end of the show, ST looked like she was having a whale of a picnic in the dark as she dusted herself off from crumbs.
We went shopping after that. It wasn't intentional, but it happened. We're not usually big shoppers.. I usually spend my money online shopping. It's easier, it beats the crowd, and my shopping bags are delivered straight to my house. I usually go to malls just to walk around and eat. I managed to get the recommended Bausch + Lomb contact lens solution — recently i just purchased contacts for myself. I've never worn one before and this would've been my first time so i wanted to do it right.. but that's another story for another post..
So, basically Sundays are crazy days for retail. Weekends in general. Especially for mass market stores. I've been in retail for a large part of my life. It was full of blood, sweat and tears but it was very fun as well. Inspired a lot of stories and, for the most part, if you enjoy working with certain people, it would be a completely fun job.
When we finally wandered over to the Cotton On store and it looked like it just got hit by a hurricane. That, or a bunch of wild baboons were unleashed in there and were high on something.
Honestly the store looked CRAZY and my heart truly bled when i saw it's state.
If you have ever wondered why retail staffs are always grumpy looking or short with you? You can scroll below photos and see an example of WHY. Actually no, these photos do not even begin to justify WHY they are like that. AND BEFORE you begin to even say to me "but.. it's their job.. that's what they're paid for" — Yes. Indeed.. They are paid to maintain the store.
But you, you little baboon, (because if you're countering this post with that sentence, you are definitely a baboon since this kind of mess is probably one of your doing. No. Scratch that, baboons are clever — because primates. YOU, are a baboon's backside, because backsides in general have no brains)
So as i was saying. Yes, retail staffs are paid to maintain cleanliness and order in a store, plus other duties. But it doesn't mean you as a shopper, treat it like a dump.
Have respect for OTHER SHOPPERS who want to purchase those products, this shop is going to be patronized by NOT JUST YOU, it's gonna be visited by a lot of other people. So don't be selfish. All i can think of is selfishness when i see this.
Have respect for THE PRODUCTS themselves. Those products, although yes, most may be machine produced, but the foundation of the work is surely by another human being who took hours to create that product so that it could even be a mass produce in the first place.
Have respect for THE STORE — they bothered to make your shopping as pleasant as possible by providing whatever you need. Couches, fitting rooms etc.. you wouldn't trash your house like this, don't do it to other people's property.
Have respect for THE STAFF there. If you work in an office, just imagine a colleague just wanted to "look" at your reports and then doesn't put the file back and it's all messy and disorganized on your table, it's irritating isn't it? Now imagine that same irritating colleague x10. And then now imagine if i said "but it's your job to keep your damn reports organized anyway, just do it again!" Do unto others how you want others to do unto you. That is the principle.
If you want good service from staffs, be respectful first. Put back unwanted items in their proper places and then when a staff isn't so busy cleaning up the craziness, they would surely pay you more attention, right?
IT'S CAUSE AND EFFECT people. Didn't school teach you?? No of course school doesn't teach "respect" enough.
As a shopper myself, it was a turn off. Instead of shopping, i just stood around beside M.E and whatever M.E found was nice but didn't fit her, she'd pass to me. HEH! And then i didn't have to look on my own. I kinda felt like a piranha. *shrugs*
So as you can see, i have a lot of problems with human beings in general.
I hate dirty toilet go-ers.
I hate the people who just leave their trash in their seats after a movie in the cinema.
I hate people who litter in general
I hate people who abuse animals — knowingly or ignorantly.
I hate people who have no respect for the environment.
I hate ignorant people. Ignorant because you don't know, is fine, but purposefully choosing to be ignorant? Unforgivable. Go pick up a book and google and learn something for once in your life.
I hate people. Fullstop.
I like individuals, but i hate human beings. If you know what i mean.
I wish i could keep this blog updated with a lot of pretty words, pretty photos, pretty everything. But you know what? The world isn't like that. It has it's prettiness and a lot of ugliness too. And my job, is to be as honest as i can with my feelings and experiences especially in words, seeing as i cannot react accordingly to my feelings within society — it'll either be a straitjacket or jail if i act upon my feelings.
Nobody wants to talk about the ugly things.. And yet there's so much ugliness that needs to be pointed out, it's crazy.
The world is NOT a unicorn. So neither shall my words be.
p/s: To me, a job is a job, is a job. What do you mean "finally you're in a real job!" — Bitch, if you're employed, earning money (in a halal way) and not killing people or making trouble for anybody, then that's a REAL FUCKIN JOB right there, you snobby piece of crap. Whether you're behind the counter, in a janitor's closet, sweeping the roads, in a stuffy cubicle, furiously tapping away on a keyboard, selling something door to door, nobody has any right to be looking down their noses at you. And yes, i do know of some friends who have this mindset, so i'm here to set this fucking straight with ya'll. I'm not gonna name names because you little shits should know who you are deep down in your hearts.
Don't be condescending because you're not better than anyone else, we are all equally human. You don't bring your pradas to your grave, honey.
Constant self reminder as well.
Ok i'm done here. till next time!
Kiss kiss. ❤
Today i receive my favourite-est question to date. It's such a beautiful moment to remember.
Guest comes up to me.. from the body language, i am positive we were going to have trouble understanding each other.
Me: Afternoon, how are you..?
Guest: hi..ummm.. where is the crotch shop?
Me: (removes the ear piece to the walkie so i can hear better, i must be dreaming) Sorry?
Guest: You have the crotch shop here? where ?
Me: The… crotch shop..?
Guest: yes..
Me: (blank staring, mouth slackened, mind ablaze with images of various crotches hanging around in a store)
Me: I'm……………… you………. i'm sorry, really sorry, the what?
I didn't have notepad on me. So i took out the map and tried hard looking for the name. I would think that was the first store i would visit, i wouldn't have missed it on a map. Guess what the guest was looking for?
We should open one store like it.
Right after Little Miss Crotch, i received another trippy question. I was stationed at the (now new) counter near the food court. The food court, being literally right in front of me.
Guest: Hi.. where is the food court?
Me: Just go straight, there. (gestures with wide open palms towards his destination which is staring us in the face)
Guest: Where? (looks at me instead of my palms) go down?
Me: There!.. just go straight..
Guest looks at the way i pointed.
Me: You are looking at it.. (God. Am i the one who's hallucinating?)
Guest: (confused staring at the what, to me, looks exactly how a food court would look ) Where??! Go down??
Me: Just go straight.
Guest: Ok. (walks off, still confused)
Me: (is dying to say) If you want, you can go down, come up again.. run around the escalators, do a few push ups, run to the south side and then come back to just go straight. Ta-Da! Food court. Magic.
Sigh. *rubs temples*
I really can't stand it when complete strangers think it's ok to address a customer service rep by name. We are not friends. Please stop that.
I was still attending to another guest when this little prick rudely interrupted me:
I don't know him. Without looking at him, i held up my hand to his face, flared my nose a little (i do this when something's pissing me off) and said tightly "hold on, please". I mean is he blind or something? I am clearly attending to another person.
He waited.
Once my first guest was done, i turned to him and the little prick.. again said;
"Asfa, where can i get a taxi.."
Each time i heard my name from his mouth, my hair prickled and i could feel my anger rising. It's irrational, really.
I directed him.. Next question:
"So.. Asfa," At this point, i was ready to strangle him or myself with the closest telephone cord, maybe he goes first and then his whole family behind him. "It's outside the casino?"
That's what i said you.. &%^^$%^$%%&.. After my standard "pleasure, have a good day"
"Thanks Asfa!"
Who the EFF are we? Are we friends? Buddies? You don't know me. I don't know you. I don't call you "My pleasure, Prick, have a good night" do i??? Don't try to get too familiar with service people, we don't like it. You're trying to impose on us by doing that. It feels like it anyway, you're trying to exert a certain control by using our names.
I hate it so much. I felt so angry i took off my nametag furiously and am still fuming, currently. It's not allowed, but one more time i hear my name from an unworthy stranger who speaks it (who has absolutely no manners nor patience) and i am seriously going to start emitting smoke on the sides and burst into flames and eat them whole.
Otherwise life at the counter is peachy really. I'm just gonna wait for time to go home, now. another 40 minutes. 😀
p/s: On second thoughts, them calling me by my name is always better than incessantly being called "hello! hello.. Miss.. MISS, HELLO!" from the back. I should be grateful. Thank you, Prick.
This happened to a colleague of mine:
The day was raining heavily and most guests were trapped in the mall with nothing else to do except ride an indoor boat or eat expensive stuff until they explode or become bankrupt, whichever comes first.
Female Guest approaches my colleague's counter:
Guest: *aggressively* Hey, what can we do here?! It's raining!
Colleague: We have 200 0ver stores in this mall (it's 800,000 square feet, bet you haven't seen all), you can dine in any of our celebrity restaurants, have a ride in the little boat and maybe take pictures with our roving christmas entertainers (mostly kids in reindeer costumes on stilts, a walking christmas tree, a polar bear, gingerbread man.. you get the drift)
Guest: *high pitched* What time will the rain stop?!
Colleague: *taken aback* umm.. it just started, so i'm not really sure..?
Guest: you don't know what time the rain will stop?!
Colleague: No..
Guest to her husband in the distance: She doesn't even know when the rain stops!! *stomps off*
Weather forecast is now in our job requirement. I should just join that hotline that my sister frequently calls when they're planning to shoot outdoors. Unfuckingbelievable.

September 18th, 2017
I've been thinking about boundaries lately.
Boundaries are difficult for me.
Whether it's because of my mother, whose actions are influenced by having grown up under a narcissistic father although not being narcissistic herself, because of my planets in the 8th house, because of my Venus in Pisces, because my father is almost certainly on the Asperger's spectrum, or because Hades and Persephone are my OTP…
In many ways it doesn't matter why.
The truth is that I find it hard to judge where the line falls, when to stop dancing, what to say and not to say, and how much laughter is too much. My default coping strategy for this used to be to segregate everything. If I kept everything in specific little boxes and people knew what to expect, then there would be little risk of annoying or insulting anyone.
Personal blog. Author blog. Personal Facebook. Author Facebook. Twitter. Tumblr. Patreon. Wattpad. Newsletter. Etc etc etc.
What ended up happening was spotty coverage, if coverage happened at all. Spoons would run out, or I'd forget because of the brain fog, or I wouldn't be doing enough in one area to be updating enough…
Not to mention, real life is messy. Everything is linked. To split myself like a chicken cut up into parts intended for different dishes is silly and doesn't work. Parts of my life don't live in a vacuum separate from each other and to pretend like they do is only hurting everything.
So I'm reassessing my boundaries and figuring out how to work things into an organic free-flowing whole.
For now:
I'm on Twitter for general hijinks, chatter, and commentary on what's going on in the world as it passes by my timeline.
Newsletter will be reserved for new releases. For now.
I'm still updating the Sleeping Beauty re-telling on Wattpad on Fridays.
Patreon is the place to go for snippets, random story ideas that might get written with sufficient interest, and maybe an early unveiling of Phoenix Awoken.
As for this blog, I'll probably be on here more, posting about Hades, astrology, tarot, the latest plotbunny, what the research has turned up, and so on.

Whitley Neill Quince Gin in Drinks21 Gift Box
This Whitley Neill Quince Gin is made using a blend of Persian herbs with Turkish quince juice. It has prominent stone fruits and is dominated by the unmistakable flavour of quince. This spirit has been inspired by the Greenall Whitley family's taste for adventure and discovery.
About the Brand
Whitley Neill, distilled near Birmingham, is made from a 100% grain spirit that is steeped with botanicals prior to being distilled in a beautiful antique copper pot still called 'Constance' who is over 100 years old. Only the purest water is used and each of the nine botanicals are carefully selected to ensure that they are of the highest quality. Whitley Neill's tagline of "Made in London and Inspired by Africa" goes a long way in describing what those botanicals might be. Bringing together a mix of innovative botanicals like cape gooseberries and baobab fruit to its lineup, it also has other more traditional botanicals such as juniper, coriander, lemon & orange peel, angelica root, cassia bark and orris root. The tag line also lends its cues to the attitude taken on by the creator Johnny Neill, as it reflects his fresh 21st century outlook whilst also making a reference to gin's heritage and the London based gin distilling experience put into use at the distillery.

In today's modern society we have numerous uses for water, both around the home as well as in commercial or industrial operations. This water becomes wastewater once it has been "used" whether for washing dishes in a restaurant, flushing a toilet, or as part of a manufacturing process.
The Town of Gibsons operates and maintains the network of trunk sewers, pumping lift stations and a wastewater treatment plant that connects the Town's sewer systems.
Liquid waste management has an effect on our environment and the livability of our community. If we don't take care to handle and treat the many pollutants generated by human activities, the quality of our surrounding environment will suffer.
With the commissioning of the new Wastewater Treatment Plant in 2005, the Town is always striving to upgrade and optimize the workings of the plant to ensure the best possible effluent discharge that exceeds permit requirements and minimizes odour.

I'm not doing very well at writing posts when I actually do my events at the moment but here is my post for the Race for Life which I took part in on 22 June 2014. The York Race for Life takes place on the Knavesmire (York Racecourse) and always has a large turnout as they have both the 5k and the 10k running together, the 10k runners split off after the first 2k.
We left home at about 10.15 am to walk up to the Knavesmire and I then headed straight for the toilet queue. It's just as well I did, it was really long! By the time I got out of the loo they had finished the warm-up and were walking everyone to the start line. I saw the banner for the walkers so slotted in the middle of the group in front of that which I hoped was the joggers.
The run actually started on time at 11 am 🙂 and it took me 4 minutes to cross the start line. I started the timer on my watch and began running, well trotting would be more accurate, from the start line. My husband and son were waiting for me round the first bend with the camera to take pictures but Rob didn't see me even though I was dancing and jumping about in front of him! Adam had to shout at him to let him know I was coming.
The first km was easy enough but was marked early. The second km was harder and my husband did see me to take photos – I didn't see him. The 2km marker was late but that was OK. After the 2nd km, we were finally off the grass and on to the race course service track which we use for the parkrun (it felt odd going the wrong way round it though). There wasn't a marker for 3k but I didn't mind as I had my Garmin to let me know how far I'd gone. I wasn't impressed when I got the 4km marker as my Garmin said 3.75km! I was so glad that I wasn't relying on my old stopwatch because I'd be thinking that I could probably finish in under 30 minutes. As it happened, I finished 4.95 km in 31:59.

A smash hit play that featured at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is showing at the Iveagh in Banbridge on Wednesday 23 September.
The one woman show 'Two Sore Legs' was one of this year's hit shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, showing at the prestigious Assembly, George Square venue.
Playing to enthusiastic audiences for the month of August with regular standing ovations the show as well as creating lively traffic on Twitter garnered a raft of positive press reviews.
Set in 1950's and 60's Belfast, the play tells the true story of the playwright's mother Bridget, a young Butlin's Redcoat from West Belfast who had six children by a married man.
The play explores the scandal, the pain, the joy and the fall-out from this extraordinary family arrangement and what it meant for Brenda, her siblings and of course her mother.
From the rowdy and fractious relationship Bridget had with her own father to the explosive but hilarious visits of the local Parish Priest wanting to take her young children from her, this play exudes the most explicit of family emotions and experiences.
In a dynamic performance, previously described by BBC Radio Ulster as a tour de force, Maria Connolly purrs, struts, weeps and explodes around the stage in equal measure, playing all parts as she goes.
The celebrated Irish Playwright and Director Martin Lynch said: "We were overwhelmed by the audience response at Edinburgh. We got a raft of 4 star reviews with both the script by Brenda Murphy and the outstanding performance by Maria Connolly being singled out for special praise.
"This production has it all, an outstanding one woman performance, witty comedy and an intriguing, almost unbelievable storyline that will keep you wondering about this woman's life".
Writer Brenda Murphy, added: "I am delighted with the success in Edinburgh and really looking forward to see how local audiences respond on the Northern Ireland tour.
"It's a very personal story, my most personal play to date, which may be why it generates both tears and laughter".

Google Pixel Phone Review
Recently, Google has partnered up with HTC and launched their new phone brand, the Pixel and Pixel XL. Google plans on discontinuing their previous Nexus brand, and although the Nexus was cheaper, the Pixel has much more features. Here are the specifications and hardware for the Pixel and Pixel XL:
Google Pixel
Dimensions: 143.8 x 69.5 x 8.6 mm
Weight: 143g
Display: 5in 1920 x 1080 pixels
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 quad-core 2.1GHz
GPU: Adreno 530
Storage: 32GB or 128GB
MicroSD: Up To 256GB
Rear Camera: 12MP
Front Camera: 8MP
Software: Android 7.1 Nougat
Battery: 2770mAh Quick Charge
Colours: Silver, Black
Google Pixel XL
Dimensions: 154.7 x 75.7 x 8.6mm
Weight: 168g
Display: 5.5in 2560 x 1440 pixels
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 quad-core 2.1GHz
GPU: Adreno 530
Storage: 32GB or 128GB internal
MicroSD: None
Rear Camera: 12MP
Front Camera: 8MP
Software: Android 7.1 Nougat
Battery: 3450mAh Quick Charge
Colours: Silver, Black
One of the main points of speculation is the overall design. A fingerprint scanner has been strategically placed on the back of the phone, where it and the camera is surrounded by a piece of glass. The bottom half of the phone is cool metal to provide a nice feel for the grip. There is a bit of controversy about the glass finish, since it looks a bit like plastic. Some people love it, others don't care for it. The power and volume buttons are located nicely on the right side of the phone while the nano SIM tray is on the left. For those who were upset about the lack of the headphone jack on the new iPhone 7, the Google Pixel has one, although the choice to place it on top of the phone may not have been the best decision.
The screen display is clear and in full HD. The Google Pixel already supports Daydream, Google's new virtual reality platform, but some critics claim that the Pixel isn't ideal for the software due to the display resolution. The experience won't be terrible, but it's optimal to use the Pixel XL, as the larger screen will give the consumer a more immersive view.
Just like how Apple has Siri and Windows has Cortana, the Google Pixel includes your very own Google Assistant. It's designed to conform to its owner- it's contextually aware to what the person is viewing on the screen, their location, and is able to follow a conversation and listen to complex commands. This feature can be accessed by either saying a 'hot word', which by default is "Okay Google", or you can press and hold the home button.
Another feature Google is promoting is the battery life and camera. Its power pack is bigger than the iPhone 7, but smaller than the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the HTC 10. Nevertheless, charging for fifteen minutes and getting seven hours of usage in return is a pretty nice deal and should be able to last you a day without having to recharge. The 12.3MP rear camera was best rated according to a DxO result. The camera includes HDR+, which helps in low light settings by brightening up shadowed areas and reducing blurring.
Overall, the Google Pixel and Pixel XL seems like a pretty good phone. The phone comes in Quite Black, Very Silver, and Really Blue. It is a bit pricey, however, starting at $649 for the Pixel and $769 for the Pixel XL, so it's up to the consumer to decide whether it's worth the price or not. Google is going to have a lot of tough competition, seeing as it's releasing around the same time as the iPhone 7, Samsung Galaxy S7, and the HTC 10, but let's hope for the best.

Today's idea is all about ice and making it erode with water! This is a fine motor idea for toddlers and a lesson in erosion for preschoolers. I will also add in there that we experimented with salt while we were at it!
Why you ask? Because salt stops the ice from melting too quickly! Which equals TONS of fun time.
This activity is going to be prepped the night before. Grab a few balloons, add some liquid food coloring then top off with water tie the ends and freeze overnight. I had mine stacked on top of each other because I want rounder shapes vs the flattening it would get sitting in a row in the freezer.
Once you remove the ice balls from their balloons (just cut it up or use a knife) Sprinkle the salt over the ice balls.
Caution: This is a supervised activity. Ice should never be held against salt covered skin for a continuous period because it can burn. So please make sure when doing this activity that the child's arm does not rest on something like this.
Next we tried to build a tower of ice. We got as high as 3!
This ice ball even kept some bubbles while freezing!
Next you will need some water and a fine motor dropper.
Start squirting in a certain area to see the erosion in action!
My preschooler loves these kinds of experiments and hands on learning ideas! My toddler is equally fascinated.
Ahh look! We managed to make a hole.
Now because of the salt the ice melted at an extremely slow rate which erosion does too!
I also love this effect the salt makes! Is it not just gorgeous!
Our next stop with our rather long lasting ice was the kitchen sink for some rapid melting. I turned the tap on at the smallest steady stream of water and the kids observed what happened to the ice when a steady force was applied vs the slower dropper method. Preschooler learnt and my toddler went ooh, ahh. win win!
The ice melts in no time at all.
Love this idea? Save it for later!

People ask me sometimes what panorama head they should get, and since my panorama head has gone through a strange evolution through-out the years (mostly making it stronger), I can only recommend getting a really good panorama head right away, and not waste money on things that won't last at least 3-5 digital camera generations… that means no plastic parts whatsoever. If you are beginning with panorama photography, and not completely sure about spending money on a panorama head, I recommend building your own for $20 from wood and other cheap material, and then buy a real one. If you have problems with your no-parallax-point calibration, Alain Hamblenne has posted probably the best/easiest tutorial I've seen.
Here is my review of panorama heads that I think are worth the money.
Nodal Ninja 5
(discontinued, get one for cheap)
Despite the fact that the NN5 is discontinued (Summer of 2010), it is a great panorama head, especially when combined with the RD16 rotator base. It has no problems with larger workloads (no problem with a 100-300mm sigma or a 70-200 2.8 canon), and it's quite good at vibration dampening from the mirror slap. If you are planning longer exposures (i.e. night photography), set the mirror lockup to 2 sec or longer, since it takes 2 sec for the vibration to dissipate. It is equally good with lighter/shorter lenses/cameras.
The Nodal Ninja 5 is a bit challenging in the camera bag, you have to decide for yourself how much assembly/dis-assembly you are willing to do, but you can quickly break it down into 3 elements: tripod – leveler, rotator and crossbeam – and leave the vertical and horizontal arm attached to your lens/camera. It shouldn't take more than 2 minutes to be completely ready to shoot.
If you are new to (panorama) photography, the close-out discount on the NN5 is a great entry point. If you already have tons of acra-swiss style equipment, I would probably wait for the next generation of the Nodal Ninja (to be announced soon), and just augment your existing equipment to get a great panorama head.
Nodal Ninja 3
This is the little brother, and while it's definitely not a beefy as the NN5, will actually work great for most smaller lens/camera combos, from wide-angle, UWA and fisheye to probably 70mm. it's a quick setup, and for many things it does the job just perfectly. If you are shooting 360×180 degree panos, definitely get the nadir adaptor, it's a great time saver.
Verdict: great panorama head if you are not planning to use it with long and heavy lenses, but with shorter lenses, and lighter cameras (i.e. 5D or lighter). Since the NN3 has a build-in indent rings that aren't easy to change in the field, it is best to simply set it for your one lens/camera combo and run with it.
Nodal Ninja rotator and leveler:
I love the RD16 rotator from Nodal Ninja, it is better than the Bogen/Manfrotto 300N… Am I excited about the EZ leveler? Not so much, because I use various other ball heads (especially the Bogen 438), and I like the speed of ball heads. On the other hand, the screw-based EZ leveler is far more precise.
Other candidates to consider:
- The Nodal Ninja M1 (acra-swiss compatible, very modular)
- 360 Precision – especially the Aduste Giga: It looks great, works great, has a great reputation, but I have not tested it in person myself yet.
- Really Right Stuff (also acra-swiss based, very modular): I haven't tested the full spherical setup in person, I can only assume it's OK, but the rotator base has no click-stops. No click-stops means that you have to pay much more attention to what you are doing.
- Agnos: Well known for speciality adaptors, including pole panorama photography (also not yet tested in person)
In the long run I would go for the acra-swiss based setups, since the parts are highly usable for other things.
I can not really recommend any other panorama head than the ones mentioned. The Bogen/Manfrotto 303 SPH is interesting that it has many usable basic parts in it (compatible with other Bogen/Manfrotto elements), but the initial setup you buy is wrong in my opinion. The good part about it that it is so heavy that you can probably use it as a boat anchor. If you have one, and reconfigure it properly, it make a decent and very usable panorama head (still very heavy).

A time when there were honest brokers and regular payments. A time when no one knew what the regulation and spread. And honestly, I have no idea what kind of company, and with it never worked.


text: Once upon a time, a very long time ago, my mom taught me how to crochet. My mom is the champion of crochet. She can make a granny square with her eyes closed, she can shell, she can make fancy lacy edges, she can crochet snowflakes…she even made a giant crocheted rug, back in the day. She taught me how to make a granny square. I made granny square baby blankets for all my baby dolls. But, I haven't crocheted since. My friend Giovanna crochets like mad woman, she makes hats, scarves, blankets, and the cutest little head bands. Friday the crocheting stars aligned…my mother is here visiting and Giovanna was here for lunch. Giovanna and I had the great fortune of a crocheted flower lesson from the champion herself. I took one of my finished flowers, one of my mom's finished flowers, and a button from the Great-Grandma collection and turned it into a barrette for Baby Girl, who was most appreciative and now wants to learn to crochet, especially after the story of how Mommy made baby blankets for her dolls. I am hoping Giovanna turns out some hats in my size with flowers (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)…but just in case I don't make the flower hat list I decided to pick up the crochet hook again and have started a hat myself…the crochet fire has been reignited.

If I had to choose one collection shown during London fashion week, it would be Burberry, I loved the pastels colors and embellished details, the pairing of a simple cardigan with an elegant sheer shirt and pencil skirt is just perfect. Christopher Kane had some interesting tears shape cut outs looks, Tom Ford presented an empowering collection, I particularly like the over the knee (laced and mirrored) boots that climb so high on the leg that they almost morph into a second skin. At Peter Pilotto and JW Anderson the complexity of some of the models reminded me of the origami style, we can only be amazed by the technical prowess. Last but not least, Doru Olowu's colorful capes are definitely an ode to happiness and optimism , ideal to go through the long months of Winter ahead of us!

The Super Bowl: The Largest, Most Anticipated, and Most Expensive Marketing Event Ever
Super Bowl commercials were once tightly held secrets, locked away in a secure location until they were aired. Until recently it was easier to steal the coach's game-plan than it was to catch a clip of the commercials before they aired during the Super Bowl.
Now companies want to create buzz about their commercials by posting teasers or asking fans to vote for a spot. With Super Bowl ads costing up to $3.5 million per 30 seconds (prices vary based on when the ad runs), companies are looking for additional ways to create value from their advertising spend.
Most marketers however, don't have $3.5 million to spend on a Super Bowl commercial. Instead, a lot of companies use event marketing to showcase their brand to the masses. From a marketing standpoint, isn't that what the Super Bowl is— just a really, really, expensive version of event marketing? Think about it:
- Significant investment (price mentioned above), which results in tremendous pressure from senior management to drive actual sales.
- Large collection of potential buyers in one place (115 million estimated viewers for the Super Bowl this year, a good percentage of whom will be at a Super Bowl party)
- A lot of competition from other brands (Estimated 31 brands running commercials for Sunday's game)
- A very small window to capture customers' attention
- People may forget your brand a day later
Aren't these similar challenges marketers face in their event marketing strategy? So how do we take what Super Bowl advertisers have done with their pre and post commercial campaigns, and replicate it for event marketing?
- Send out invitations beforehand: Companies make significant investments in providing a fun, and memorable experience for people who attend their events. But where they fall down is that they very rarely take the extra step to driving people to them. Savvy marketers run pre-event campaigns that are designed to drive their target consumers to them, rather than hoping their ideal customer stumbles past their tent. This is the direction Super Bowl advertisers have been taking the last couple years by releasing teaser videos, or even leaking the full commercial on YouTube to generate buzz and attention prior to the spot running on Super Bowl Sunday.
- Data Collection: The most critical— and typically most overlooked— step in event marketing is data collection. Without an effective way to capture basic profile information, marketers are missing out on a huge opportunity to follow-up with attendees. Data collection can be as basic as paper-based registration cards, or as elaborate as a text-to-win campaign with a bounce back SMS registration form. The important thing is that you are able to capture attendee information and store it in a way that allows you to quickly deploy your follow-up campaigns. Event marketing is a great way to rapidly grow the size of your marketing database, but without a way to capture data on-site you lose the ability to extend the event experience and drive additional sales with these customers. Many of the top Super Bowl ads are driving viewers to the web to get them to register online. Think Go Daddy and Danica Patrick.
- Follow-Up: Event attendees are not at the event to interact with your brand. They are there to watch the football game, experience their favorite band, watch the NASCAR race, or to run in a 5K. On top of that, your competitors are also there, fighting for their attention. So as much as we would like to think each person we interacted with is going to buy our product simply because of the great experience we provided, the reality is that they probably won't remember your brand a week later— unless you remind them. Once the event is over, send everyone you interacted with a personalized thank you, and remind them of all the fun they had. "Thanks for stopping by" cards are a perfect way to re-engage event attendees and extend the experience beyond the actual event. You could take it a step further and include a compelling offer and a list of stores nearby where they can buy your product. Now you can go back to management and show that your event marketing strategy was more than an expensive PR campaign—, it drove actual sales.
Very few marketers will have the opportunity to work on brands that actually air a commercial during the Super Bowl. But looking at the current landscape, the Super Bowl is really just an expensive, 30 second version of event marketing. The question is this: Are you getting the most out of your event marketing strategy? Or are you just running a $3.5 million commercial and hoping for the best?

The eye can be examined with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional assessment consists of the ability to move in the orbit and the response of the student to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye may be checked in several methods. The patient might be asked to identify illuminated letter or items of differing sizes on what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous methods. Stress within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In specific diseases, especially in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased markedly.
Nevertheless, it needs to be well kept in mind that a client with an eye issue may have other problems also. Typically other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can inform the doctor and the client to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other symptoms provide themselves.
One's reliance on sight is emphasized when one faces a temporary or possible irreversible loss of this crucial sense. When corrective procedures are looked for, specific forms of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are recommended.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with the reality that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgical operations were developed to motivate decreased usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Essentially, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another form of vision correction. check these guys out The only distinction is that with this kind of surgery, one's vision is corrected completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive errors in the cornea are completely transformed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The primary purpose of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, enabling better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that people need to understand. Most likely, the primary reason find out here that this type of eye surgical treatment has actually become well accepted is since many of its cases had actually been effective.
In spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most sensitive part of the eye
Due to the fact that LASIK eye surgery involves the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate parts of the eye, most individuals state that the operation can be very risky.
In other words, a basic error might nearly trigger an person's life time loss of sight. For this reason, it is important to think about lots of elements before deciding whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the right restorative step one has to undergo.
2. It is not a best procedure
LASIK eye surgery might fix your vision however it does not necessarily mean that it can offer you a twenty-twenty. Even if analytical reports show that 70% of the patients may have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily mean they have perfect vision also.
Given all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not always be the perfect eye surgery the method many people view it
On the other hand, the assessment of the structural part of the eye might be made in numerous methods. It must be well remembered that a patient with an eye problem may have other issues. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a effect. The appearance of the eye can notify the patient and the physician to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction.
Two Concerns Individuals Do Definitely Not Know About LASIK Eye Treatments
The eye can be examined with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional assessment consists of the ability to move in the orbit and the response of the student to light and accommodation.
