I've often heard that what sets apart children from adults is their innocence and worldview. They are not corrupted by practicality and a way of life that caters to adults. They do what their heart desires. They dream without any limits. And they don't wear masks.
I have always been open about how I feel. And in a recent conversation with an admirable woman, I learnt about the legacy she wants to leave behind. She said she wanted to be remembered as honest and kind. In that spirit, I have written a micro story on Instagram today.
I want to tell you a story. Of a girl just like Alice. It was 6 years ago. She had a pretty pink bow in her hair and she was happy. She was in love. With a boy who took this photograph of her. She thought she would never find love again because they went their separate ways. It took 6 long years. For her to realise she had found love again. Only this time it wasn't a boy. It was spring and she was in love. With the weather, the colour pink and most importantly, life. She had chosen to embrace everything about herself. And she was truly happy being who she was. She was in love. She was her best self. The little girl, like Alice, had grown up! She still wore a floral tiara but her heart was golden like the sun. ❤
I want to take you along on the journey as I find myself in this new avatar. And show you how you could embrace yourself too. Will you join me? Double tap on Instagram, shout out to me on any social media platform, leave a comment below. I'll be waiting to hear from you. :*

text: I always love it when summer is coming, Ikea bring their garden range out. It's generally only available instore and not for order online. BOO! Dear Ikea please can we have a store in East Anglia? But it's great how it's pretty inexpensive and as we only use our garden furniture for a couple of months, I never really feel like spending hundreds on it. Also I'm an utter sucker for outdoor lights of all sorts, look at all those pretty lanterns!

We stayed one night in late December during a quick turnaround to Grand Junction. We normally stay near the airport but decided to give this property a try.
Although overall we had an enjoyable stay, with better attention to details it could have been much better and possibly be our hotel of choice in GJ.
Pros: modern, clean, friendly, nice location. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient. We arrived late in evening and they had us up in our room quickly. The property is situated in the quaint downtown area, with shopping and restaurants in walking distance. Indoor pool, decent fitness center, and a nice lobby bar.
Cons: although we liked the modern feel of the rooms, some of it just doesn't work well..the bathrooms have the shower and commode split up but they're about 3 feet from the edge of the bed. The door to the commode area slides and is quite heavy and noisy. Doesn't make for convenient, quiet use. The bathroom towels are poor quality, and when we got into our room there had been no heat turned on. Very uncomfortable on a December night. It took quite awhile to get the room to reasonable temperature. The property also charges a daily rate for parking. In Grand Junction??
Overall, a nice property with good value. Just a little shy of really good, but with management's eye on detail, it may get there.

I do not like these vodka rockstars at all. I prefer the sour vodka rockstars. I just don't really like the taste if these ones.. I find they have too much vodka taste.
This is my go to drink on a weekend! I love the taste and it just gets my girls' night going :) Very happy with its size and flavor :) It is the first thing I grab before I choose anything else lol
Did not expect to find this at the liquor store. Needless to say it was what I expected but the after taste was not for me
I didn't like it the first few sips, thought it tasted kinda like cough syrup, but a few more and I found it tasted almost like a pineapple cream soda in the aftertaste.

We spent a full week at the hotel. Bill and Mieke were fantastic! We had a rental car problem and they were on the phone right away getting us a new way of transportation.
The animals around the yard always kept us reaching for the camera and finally the last day we were able to see the Toucans.
The view from Cerro Anton was just unreal. It was a hot hike up the hill but worth every calorie that we burned. We saw numerous birds and a sloth on the hike.
Best part of the trip for us was the fishing on Gutan Lake. We caught over 50 fish and had a wonderful guide.

WebProNews first told you about oneforty just after it launched in late 2009. Just a few months after the launch, the "App Store for Twitter" had already gained significant traction. Since that time, the site has developed even further and has expanded beyond an online community and database of Twitter applications.
For these reasons, Laura Fitton, the company's CEO and founder, has decided to take the startup into the direction of social business. As she explained to WebProNews, oneforty didn't just completely change its focus one day. Instead, it was a natural evolution of the service.
"We started with almost a consumer focus… and we were ourselves even surprised how much the proportion of users who showed up really needed business help; and they needed help not just on Twitter for business, but on social media for business generally," she said.
oneforty not only grew into a huge list of Twitter apps, but it also grew as an information resource since its users would submit tips for using the tools. Users also created toolkit guides that were, essentially, case studies to help other businesses succeed. At this point, oneforty has over 700 of these how-to guides.
The site is also doing a lot more with their blog by offering daily advice for business owners. Another new area of the site is its question-and-answer section, in which users can reach out directly to the tool developers as well as other businesses for information.
In addition, there is a social media professionals' section that is available directly on oneforty's homepage, which is a list of actual experts that can help businesses in their social efforts. Fitton told us that these professional profiles would become more sophisticated in the coming months.
Although oneforty's focus is now more closely aligned with B2B, it is still useful for consumers.
"When we're in Twitter, when we're in Facebook, even when we're blogging, sometimes we're really focused on our job; and other times, we're a little more focused on personal. There are very few people who use it exclusively one way or another," said Fitton.
She went on to say that oneforty's recent evolution is indicative of how powerful social media is for business. She also added that oneforty aspires to be the "friendly place" where both newcomers and advanced users of the social space can go to find tips, tools, and information.

"We know that if we treat online gamblers more like gamblers in land based casinos, we will develop a solid rapport with them. We believe in giving all our players a personal service that we like to call the 'VIP Treatment'," Kate said. "By involving our players in the future development of our casino, we can be sure to cater to their needs more closely than our competition," she continued.
The newly designed lobby reflects VIP player's most popular casino game choices by creating active hotlinks that take players directly to the most popular casino games in each game category. "We have determined the games our players enjoy playing most, and made it one click easier for them to get there," claims Berkeley.
By listening and then acting upon the requests of her customers, Kate has become a popular manageress. While her enrolment of players' suggestions to help her improve the casino is in its nascent stage, she is focused on greater player involvement and welcomes any and all suggestions. This, she believes will make the VIP experience the most player-driven on the net. With Kate at the helm, VIPcasino.com's players can be sure that their experience will be more personalised, more engaging and generally more rewarding than at any other casino on the Internet.

i had issues installing this software to begin with, ran through it three times and felt i had finally got everything installed, gave the machine back to the user and now the user is telling that Fonts are missing. to his and my bosses knowledge, no extra font packages where ever installed,I thought i might be able to pull just the font packages off the discs, but of course that was wishful thinking. does anyone know where i can get just the packages?

What fonts are the fonts? If they don't come from the Adobe type foundry then I doubt they had them before. There are usually some fonts packaged with the install in an extras folder. I'm not sure if they upgrade caused this since I chose not to install 5.5 but there is a folder at the base of the CS5 install labeled Creative Suite Content & all the Adobe fonts are in that folder (I just checked my install).

something wrong
Hi, people.
I tested a poisson solver in 3D with an exact solution,
first of all, I tested laplacian with f(x,y,z) = cos(pi x) cos(pi y) cos(pi z), and I used standard 7 points finite difference laplacian, and as a source term I used exact solution -3pi^2 cos(pi x) cos(pi y) cos(pi z) and I calculate the residual,
but it is huge error. something like 29.00 even in 32 x 32 grid points, and my domain is unit cubic, and I imposed a Neumann boundary conditions.
Do you have any idea about this situation? How should I implement at boundary to reduce this big errors.
Re: something wrong
Why don't you start with the simpler Dirichlet BC, where you specify the BC exactly, say zero all around, without the approximations that Neumann brings into the table? So long as you have a source term this BC will be ok.
If you get a better convergence rate with DBC, then perhaps you need to use higher order approximations for the grads in the NBC or at least cluster the grids near the boundaries. If you still get bad results, then you have a bug!
Adrin Gharakhani
Re: something wrong
dear JunseokKim, i happened to solve a poisson eq. with neumann bc. please check if your poisson eq. if it satisfy the consequence of the Green theorem, failing to satisfy this theorem will cause problem in the numerical solution. if your eq. doesn't satisfy this theorem, you can modify the source term. please refer to the posting: convergent prob. in solving poisson eq(neumann BC) (118) - yf yap , Thu, 8 Feb 2001, 8:29 a.m. in this forum for more information on the matter. hope that it is helpful.

A clean pond is more important than aesthetic appeal. Biological grime and build-up can lead to harmful toxins that can kill your fish. Regular pond maintenance and cleaning prevents this build-up and keeps your fish healthy. Unfortunately, cleaning without a filter makes maintenance more difficult. For a thorough, filter-free cleaning job, add potassium permanganate to the pond water to kill all harmful biological material. Use extreme caution when handling this material as it is potent and harmful in large quantities.
Things You'll Need
- Thermometer
- Face mask
- Gloves
- Goggles
- Potassium permanganate
- Teaspoon
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Measuring cup
Measure the pond water temperature before beginning the cleaning process. Potassium permanganate cannot be added to the pond if the water is warmer than 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The resulting chemical reaction could kill your fish. Proceed if the temperature is under 80 degrees.
Place on a face mask, gloves and goggles for protection. Potassium permanganate is potent and a strong irritant to skin. Protective clothing prevents physical contact and accidental inhalation. Stand downwind if there is any breeze.
Add 1 tsp. of potassium permanganate per 1,000 gallons of water. Calculate the amount of potassium permanganate you need by dividing the number of gallons in your pond by 1,000. For example, suppose your pond is 600 gallons. Your calculation looks as follows:
600 gallons/1,000 gallons = .6 tsp. of potassium permanganate
Proceed with this step only when you know the exact volume of your pond. The correct amount of potassium permanganate turns the pond water a light pink color.
Watch the fish carefully. Too much potassium permanganate removes oxygen from the water and causes the fish to gasp for air. Immediately add hydrogen peroxide to the pond if you see this happening. Hydrogen peroxide reverses the effects of potassium permanganate. Add at a rate of 1 quart per 5,000 gallons of water for complete neutralization. Use a measuring cup for an accurate measurement.
Leave the potassium permanganate untouched for eight to 10 hours to take full effect. The biological material at the bottom of the pond, harmful bacteria and parasites are eliminated form the pond after this time period passes.

You and your partner have decided to start a family, thereby making an important addition to your lives. There are undoubtedly many questions in your mind concerning your forthcoming pregnancy and your future life with one or several children.
Many couples are content to simply wait for a pregnancy to occur. Others are keen to know the precise functioning of the biological processes involved and how they can fall pregnant as soon as possible. In the chapter entitled Reproduction, you will find information about fertility and pregnancy planning.
Those who simply wait for pregnancy to occur should not forget that the likelihood of natural conception decreases as a woman ages. The statistical probability of pregnancy is 30 % per cycle between the ages of 20 and 25 years, but only 10 % above the age of 40.
If you have been trying to fall pregnant for a year or more, and no longer wish to simply wait for pregnancy to occur, there are several possible methods with which reproduction can be medically supported. We have outlined below the most common methods of examination and treatment. An individual consultation with your medical specialist will assist you in selecting the right approach for you.
In the chapter entitled Preparation, we have compiled several tips to assist you in making the best possible preparations for your pregnancy.

A Seattle news station confused Peyton Manning, Gary Payton
A Seattle area news station made one of the best photo mistakes in recent history after Peyton Manning broke the all-time passing touchdowns record on Sunday, accidentally putting up a photo of longtime SuperSonics point guard Gary Payton.
Still hurting from the Broncos Super Bowl loss to the Seahawks, a Denver station was all too happy to publicize the photo error.
So Seattle TV station puts up picture of "Gary Payton" instead of "Peyton Manning." #Seahawkslost #Broncoswin pic.twitter.com/j0OLC0PiT4— 7NEWS Denver Channel (@DenverChannel) October 20, 2014
There's no word yet on how the mistake was made (whether it was intentional or not) and no news on if there has been any fallout beyond the bad publicity.
As far as tv station trolling goes, it ranks right up there with the summer salvo between Detroit and Tampa affiliates after David Price was traded from the Marlins to the Tigers.

Facial Skin Coloration Affects Perceived Health of Human Faces

Numerous researchers have examined the effects of skin condition, including texture and color, on the perception of health, age, and attractiveness in human faces. They have focused on facial color distribution, homogeneity of pigmentation, or skin quality. We here investigate the role of overall skin color in determining perceptions of health from faces by allowing participants to manipulate the skin portions of color-calibrated Caucasian face photographs along CIELab color axes. To enhance healthy appearance, participants increased skin redness (a*), providing additional support for previous findings that skin blood color enhances the healthy appearance of faces. Participants also increased skin yellowness (b*) and lightness (L*), suggesting a role for high carotenoid and low melanin coloration in the healthy appearance of faces. The color preferences described here resemble the red and yellow color cues to health displayed by many species of nonhuman animals.

The face plays a significant role in human interactions, including mate choice (Perrett et al.1998). Numerous researchers have examined aspects of human faces that affect perceptions of health, attractiveness, and age, usually focusing on facial shape (Perrett et al.1999; Rhodes et al.1999). However, more recently, several studies have focused on the contributions of skin color and texture to apparent facial health and attractiveness (Fink et al.2001, 2006; Jones et al.2004; Matts et al.2007; Stephen et al.2009). Here, we expand this approach by examining the effects of overall skin color on the appearance of health in human faces while controlling experimentally for texture and shape effects.
Previous researchers have shown that the homogeneity and distribution of skin color across the face contributes to perceptions of health, age, and attractiveness of human faces (Fink et al.2001, 2006; Matts et al.2007). Fink et al. (2001) found that ratings of facial attractiveness correlated with measures of skin color homogeneity, such that more homogeneous skin color distribution was more attractive. More homogeneous chromophore (melanin and hemoglobin) distribution across the skin also correlates positively with ratings of health, attractiveness, and youthfulness (Matts et al.2007), while the facial color distribution of younger women is perceived as younger, healthier, and more attractive than that of older women (Fink et al.2006). Further, increased contrast between the luminance of the facial features and the rest of the facial skin has been shown to enhance the attractiveness and femininity of female faces, and to reduce the attractiveness and masculinity of male faces (Russell 2003). However, it is not only color distribution that plays a role in indicating facial health. Jones et al. (2004) found that health ratings of skin patches taken from face photographs correlated with ratings of attractiveness of the whole faces, suggesting that skin color and texture themselves contribute to the attractiveness of faces independently of shape, and when color distribution across the whole face cannot be viewed.
Though these studies clearly indicate a role for facial color, they have all either treated the color and texture of skin together, without assessing color effects that are independent of texture effects, or dealt with color distribution, and none has made use of color-calibration techniques (Hong et al.2001). Recently, we have begun to investigate the role of overall facial skin color in determining the perception of health from faces via the CIELab color space (Stephen et al.2009).
The CIELab color system is commonly used in human perceptual work, modeled on the human visual system, and designed to be perceptually uniform, with a change of 1 unit appearing to be of approximately the same magnitude regardless of the dimension of the change (Martinkauppi 2002). Here, we use the color manipulation techniques and experimental paradigm established by Stephen et al. (2009) to investigate the effect of overall skin color on the apparent health of human faces. Single-axis transforms allowed participants to manipulate the skin portions of color-calibrated facial photographs along the 3 CIELab component axes: L* (light-dark), a* (red-green), and b* (yellow-blue), separately to optimize apparent health. CIELab a* values are affected primarily by blood in human skin (Edwards and Duntley 1939), and only single-axis transforms were undertaken in the a* dimension. The b* component of skin color is substantially influenced by 2 pigments, carotenoids and melanin, but these pigments have different influences on the L* component (Edwards and Duntley 1939; Stamatas et al.2004), so for L* and b* we undertook both single-axis and 2-dimensional trials, in which we allowed participants to manipulate faces along L* and b* axes simultaneously. To investigate contrast in our study of color images, we investigated the difference between color changes applied when lip color remained constant or was manipulated along with the facial skin.
Increased skin vascularization increases skin a* and is associated with increased physical fitness in humans (Johnson 1998) and increased estrogen levels in women (Charkoudian et al.1999; Thornton 2002), but is impaired in patients with type 2 diabetes (Charkoudian 2003) and hypertension (Panza et al.1990). Increased blood oxygenation, associated with increased aerobic fitness (Armstrong and Welsman 2001), increases blood redness. Skin blood deoxygenation is associated with cardiac and respiratory illness, and causes a dull, blue tint to the skin (Ponsonby et al.1997). Previous perceptual work has shown that increased skin blood perfusion and oxygenation coloration enhance the healthy appearance of human faces (Stephen et al.2009). Similar phenomena appear to exist in nonhuman primate species, with redness reflecting aspects of underlying physiology. Increased facial skin redness, due to increased skin blood perfusion, has been linked to increased testosterone in male rhesus macaques (Rhodes et al.1997), and increased estrogen levels and fertility have been linked with increased redness of anogenital skin in female rhesus macaques (Czaja et al.1977; Dixson 1983). Both of the reddened areas attract preferential visual attention from the opposite sex (Waitt et al.2003, 2006). Facial redness is also associated with higher testosterone levels and dominance rank in male mandrills (Setchell and Dixson 2001) and reproductive status in female mandrills (Setchell et al.2006); female mandrills prefer to mate with brightly colored males (Setchell 2005). Facial redness in male mandrills may therefore be an honest signal, demonstrating the bearer's ability to bear the burden of the immune suppression caused by increased testosterone levels (Folstad and Karter 1992; cf. Setchell et al.2009). We predict that increased skin redness will enhance the healthy appearance of human faces, due to its association with increased blood perfusion and oxygenation.
CIELab b* values are affected primarily by melanin and carotenoids in human skin (Edwards and Duntley 1939; Stamatas et al. 2004). Carotenoids are obtained from consumption of fruits and vegetables (Alaluf et al. 2002), and dietary supplementation causes skin yellowing (Stahl et al. 1998). Carotenoid supplementation is associated with improved development of the immune system in human children (Alexander et al. 1985), whereas individuals infected with HIV and malaria have reduced carotenoid levels (Friis et al. 2001). Carotenoid levels may also affect spermatogenesis in boars (Chew 1993), and women who failed to conceive during in vitro fertilization had unusually fluctuating carotenoid levels in their follicular fluid (Schweigert et al. 2003). Brightly colored carotenoid-based ornaments are displayed by many bird and fish species, the size and brightness of which reflect aspects of health and condition. Male greenfinches with brighter yellow breast feathers showed stronger humoral immune responses to a novel antigen (Saks et al. 2003). Male and female yellow-eyed penguins with more saturated yellow eye ornamentation produced more offspring per season (Massaro et al. 2003). Researchers have demonstrated mate choice based on the brightness of carotenoid ornaments in greenfinches (Eley 1991), yellow-eyed penguins (Massaro et al. 2003), and goldfinches (MacDougall and Montgomerie 2003). We predict that participants will increase skin b* in both single-axis and two-dimensional trials, indicating a role for carotenoids or melanin in enhancing the appearance of health in faces.
CIELab L* values are affected primarily by melanin, increased levels of which increase skin b* values and decrease skin L* values (Stamatas et al. 2004). Melanin may have health costs, with the UV-filtering effects impairing vitamin D synthesis, potentially leading to rickets and osteomalacia (Jablonski and Chaplin 2000; Murray 1934; cf. Robins 1991). Health benefits of melanin include providing protection from damaging UV radiation, reducing the incidence of skin cancer and sunburn (Robins 1991), and reducing the photolysis of folate, a deficiency of which during pregnancy places the fetus at risk of neural tube defects (Omaye 1993). Melanin plays a role in immune defense in humans (Burkhart and Burkhart 2005), as in insects (Boman and Hultmark 1987). Researchers have long noted that men have darker skin than women (Edwards and Duntley 1939; Hulse 1967; van den Berghe and Frost 1986), and have suggested that light skin is considered more attractive, particularly in female faces where it may be taken as a sign of femininity, youth, and fecundity (Aoki 2002; Jones 2000; van den Berghe and Frost 1986; Wagatsuma 1968) or high social class in both sexes (Hulse 1967; Jones 2000). Several researchers have addressed the perception of human skin lightness, though they have provided conflicting results and used unreliable methodologies, often relying on questionnaires (Feinmann and Gill 1978), uncalibrated stimuli (Frost 1994), or correlational studies (Jones 2000). In our study, in both the single-axis and two-dimensional trials, a role for melanin pigmentation in enhancing the apparent health of faces would be indicated if participants increase b* values and decrease L* values, indicating a preference for a tan color. If participants increase b* coloration but do not decrease L* values, a role for carotenoids will be indicated. Because carotenoids are associated with health signaling in many species, whereas melanin is associated with both health costs and benefits, we predict that participants will not prefer to reduce L* values in faces to optimize healthy appearance.
Previous studies of skin color have suggested a role for sexual dimorphism in color preferences, with female skin being lighter in females in many populations, and lightness appearing more attractive in females (van den Berghe and Frost 1986). We predict that participants will prefer to enhance sexual dimorphism in faces by increasing L* in female faces more than in male faces, and increasing a* and b* more in male than in female faces.
Following Russell's (2003) findings on facial contrast, we predict that manipulations that increase the contrast between the features and the skin (the lips constant conditions) will be enhanced more in female faces than in male faces.
Materials and Methods
This work was approved by the University of St. Andrews Ethics Committee. All participants gave prior, informed consent in writing.
We photographed 51 Caucasian participants (21 male, 30 female; ages 18–22) without skin makeup and with neutral expressions, in a booth painted Munsell N5 gray, illuminated with 3 Verivide F20 T12/D65 daylight simulation bulbs in high-frequency fixtures (Verivide, UK), to reduce the effects of flicker. The booth was located in a room with no other lighting. We placed a Munsell N5 painted board over the shoulders and included a GretagMacbeth Mini ColorChecker color chart in the frame. We color-corrected images using a least-squares transform, from an 11-expression polynomial expansion (Hong et al. 2001) of camera RGB values for 24 ColorChecker patches to the manufacturer-specified CIELab values of the same patches. This achieved a mean color error (ΔE) of 2.44 between the 24 manufacturer stated color values and the color values obtained from the corrected images. (ΔE is the Euclidean distance between 2 color points in CIELab space, and is the standard method used for quoting color differences in CIELab color space.)
We used Matlab to calculate mean CIELab values across skin pixels for each face image (defining initial CIELab face color).
Image Manipulation
For all transforms, hair, eyes, clothing, and background remained constant.
We recruited 32 participants (12 male, 20 female, ages 19–26) for manipulations along single-color axes and 22 participants (12 male, 10 female, ages 18–25) for 2D trials. All participants self-identified as Caucasian.
For the single-axis transforms, we presented participants with the 306 trials, 1 face at a time in random order on a CRT monitor (color-calibrated using a ColorVision Spyder 2Pro to mean ΔE of 2.32 for a range of skin tones reflecting faces of various ethnicities). Each participant saw each of the 51 face identities only once for each type of trial. For all trials, the participants were given the instruction: make the face as healthy as possible.
Statistical Methods
We performed statistical analyses via SPSS version 16. We calculated mean color changes applied to each face (by face dataset). We used 1-sample t-tests (H0: no color change) to evaluate the overall color changes. We used General Linear Mixed Models to test for the effects of initial face color, face and participant sex, and lip condition, on color change applied (dependent variable = color change; fixed factors = face sex, participant sex, lip condition; random factor = participant ID; covariates = initial face color: L*, a*, and b*). We included all main effects in the model. We nested participant ID within participant sex. The interactions between participant sex and face sex and between face sex and lip condition were included in the model.

Participants increased b* (Δb* = 5.25 ± 0.18; t50 = 29.64; p < 0.001; Fig. 2b) to optimize healthy appearance in the single-axis trials. Participants increased b* more in faces initially low in b* (Fig. 2b) and in faces initially high in L* and a*.
Participants increased L* (ΔL* = 1.21 ± 0.23; t50 = 5.20; p < 0.001; Fig. 3b) to optimize healthy appearance. Participants increased L* more in faces initially low in L* (Fig. 3b) and, to a lesser extent, also in faces low in a*.
In the 2D trials, participants increased b* (Δb* = 0.463 ± 0.01; t50 = 49.940; p < 0.001) and L* (ΔL* = 0.181 ± 0.12; t50 = 10.629; p < 0.001) to optimize healthy appearance (Fig. 4b).
Participants added more a* (Fig. 1b) and b* (Fig. 2b) to male faces than to female faces and more L* to female faces than to male faces (Fig. 3b). In our sample, female faces are originally lighter than male faces (t49 = 2.342; p = 0.023).
The lips transform condition did not affect the color change applied in the L* or a* transforms. Participants increased b* in faces more when lips changed along with the face than when they remained constant (Fig. 2c), though they increased b* in both conditions. There was no interaction effect of lip condition with sex of face in any of the 3 dimensions.
Our study reveals a role of overall skin color in the appearance of health in human faces, separate from information provided by skin texture or color distribution. We have shown that, for a sample of 51 color-calibrated Caucasian face photographs, increased skin a*, b*, and L* enhance the perceived health of human faces. Participants increased color more in faces initially low in that dimension, suggesting that extremes of skin coloration outside the natural range do not appear healthy, possibly because of preferences for face color within the normal range (Langlois and Roggman 1990).
Stephen et al. (2009) found that the physiologically relevant cues of increased skin blood perfusion and oxygenation color enhance the healthy appearance of faces. The current study takes a more perceptual stance, demonstrating that pure color changes along dimensions modeled on the human visual system (Martinkauppi 2002) affect the apparent health of human faces. We found that skin redness enhanced the perceived health of faces, possibly because of its association with skin blood perfusion and oxygenation (Edwards and Duntley 1939; Stephen et al. 2009). This relationship shows similarities to color signals displayed in nonhuman primates, particularly Old World monkeys (Dixson 1998). Increased redness due to increased blood perfusion is associated with aspects of health such as hormonal status (Czaja et al. 1977; Dixson 1983; Rhodes et al. 1997; Setchell and Dixson 2001) and reproductive status (Rhodes et al. 1997; Setchell et al. 2006) in this group. Redness in nonhuman primates is also associated with social factors such as dominance rank (Setchell and Dixson 2001; Setchell and Wickings 2005) and is preferred by the opposite sex (Setchell 2005; Waitt et al. 2003, 2006). Investigation of the role of facial redness in the appearance of human dominance and attractiveness is therefore warranted.
It is a popular view that suntanning enhances the healthy and attractive appearance of Caucasian faces. The role of melanin in the perception of faces is usually considered in terms of skin darkening (reduced L*; Frost 1994; van den Berghe and Frost 1986). Our finding that participants choose to increase b* and increase L* in both single-axis and 2D trials suggests that any benefit to health appearance from tanning is due to the associated increase in skin b* (Stamatas et al. 2004). We suggest that the healthy appearance of skin b* may be attributable to dietary carotenoid deposition in the skin. This suggests that carotenoids, which are involved in health signaling (Massaro et al. 2003; Saks et al. 2003) and sexual selection (Eley 1991; MacDougall and Montgomerie 2003; Massaro et al. 2003) in many species of birds and fish, may also affect the appearance of health in humans. To clarify the relative roles of these pigments in facial health, a study investigating the role of skin melanin and carotenoid coloration on the apparent health of human faces would be a valuable next step.
Participants exaggerated existing sexual dimorphism in skin color by lightening female faces more than male faces and reddening and yellowing male faces more than female faces. This is congruent with the finding that men are browner, ruddier (Edwards and Duntley 1939; Frost 1994), and darker (van den Berghe and Frost 1986) than women in many populations and may be attributed to a preference for faces that conform to sexually dimorphic patterns (Perrett et al. 1998; Rhodes 2006).
While there were no effects of lip condition in a* or L* trials, participants increased skin b* more when the lip color changed along with the rest of the facial skin. When the lips remained constant as the rest of the facial skin was increased in b*, the lips appeared blue (Fig. 3a), a symptom of cyanosis (a lack of blood oxygenation that is associated with cardiac and respiratory illnesses; Ponsonby et al.1997). We did not find any difference in the effect of lip condition between the 2 sexes in any of the 3 color dimensions. These findings differ from those of Russell (2003), who found that increased contrast between the features and the facial skin enhanced femininity and attractiveness in female faces but reduced masculinity and attractiveness in male faces. One of 3 explanations may account for these results: 1) Russell's use of black-and-white photographs may have eliminated important color information from his images. 2) The contrast between the features and the facial skin may be important for attractiveness and sexual dimorphism perception, but not for health perception. 3) The effects found by Russell (2003) may be attributable to the contrast between the eyes and the skin instead of the lips and the skin. A more detailed study of these issues is therefore warranted.
We have established a role for overall skin color, independent of skin texture or color distribution, in the appearance of health in human faces. The enhancement of healthy appearance caused by increased skin redness provides additional support for a role for blood coloration in health perception (Stephen et al. 2009). The role of skin yellowness and lightness suggests that carotenoid pigmentation may also play a role in health perception. Together, the results suggest that colors that are associated with health signaling and mate choice in a number of animal species also play a role in the perception of health in human faces.

Stayed at Breezes, Nassau just after New Years. Enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Hotel is kept very clean and although in need of a refreshing, it was still a nice place to stay. Food was good and we tried the a la carte at Eden and found it very good as well. Staff are very nice, friendly and helpful. The beach area was good but the swimming area off the beach is limited because of the sea-doos and other watercraft running off Cable Beach next to the hotel.
Good time overall and would go again.

The young mammal musculus - besides titled the subdivision - is really a brace of muscles, the gastorcnemius and the soleus, each of which requires a bit not like young mammal exercises to point of reference. The young mammal contractor is found on the front ration of the leg and is allied to the ft via the Achilles ligament. An often-overlooked muscle, the calf is extremely strategic for mobility, as it show business a volumed member in the motions of walking, jumping, and moving. To preserve quality at its best, strong, spirited young mammal muscles are a must, and the sunday-go-to-meeting way to hold them in stature is done young mammal exercises.
There are individual different calf exercises freeway designed to point of reference either the gastorcnemius and soleus muscles, or some. Listed down below are a number of of the most utile and any tackle sought after to custom these calf exercises.
Calf Raises: The calf increase is the maximum communal of all young mammal exercises, due in piece to the enormous sort of forms and practices it allows. In all these exercises, however, the makeshift happening is the identical. As the vertical young mammal lift up is potential the maximum widespread variant, we will use that for the reason of type. Take a exercising weight next to buoyant weight and snooze it atop the spinal column of the shoulders. (A quality rack is a very expedient way to bread and butter the weight undamagingly up illustrious wherever you want to use it short not due anxiety in lifting.) Step onto a calf clog up next to toes and ball of feet on the restricted access near the arches and heels long off. Using the calf muscles, lift up the heels as broad as viable - pressing the weight up next to the motion - past humiliate the heels as far as your young mammal will stretch, putting the muscles through with their flooded reach of natural event. To reference point not like areas of the calf you may use one of the various correlative calf raises, together with the 45-degree calf bump up or the allegory calf lift.Post ads:

Calf Press: This elevate is finished on a leg press piece of equipment. Sit on the machine's form with rear resistant the taking up and toughness pure and put feet on the lifting stage. Then, victimization one and only the calf muscles, propulsion the weight up by extending the ankles as far as come-at-able. Return to a mellow position. As the stamina are kept a bit bent during this lift, the quadriceps will be worked out as economically.
Single Leg Calf Raises: While this is a motley of young mammal raise, it is an central adequate travail to exposit in fact. The lone leg young mammal raise is one of the record cold and adjusted young mammal exercises out there. By targeting a spinster leg, it requires that all leg's young mammal do the career lacking assistance, so that a weaker musculus cannot depend on a stronger matched. To do a lone leg calf raise, simply bracket on a maneuver or on a calf obstruct beside a weight in either the authorization or left-hand hand, depending on which leg you intend to carry out out. (The weight should be on the identical side.) Then simply increase the ankle as great as it will go, demean it as far downcast as possible, past wring up once again.Post ads:

U.S. coal producer Massey Energy Company's (NYSE:MEE) second quarter results on July 27, 2010, came in below expectations as it struggles to recover from the recent Upper Big Branch (UBB) mine accident. The ongoing inspection and enforcement activity due to the UBB tragedy continues to hurt the company's smooth functioning, resulting in reduced productivity. This is influencing the bearish sentiment among analysts.
Turning to the Quarter
Massey Energy reported a second quarter adjusted loss of 2 cents per share (excluding Upper Big Branch mine tragedy related charges), way below the Zacks Consensus Earnings Estimate of 33 cents. The decline in the quarter is primarily attributed to the disruption caused by the Upper Big Branch mine blast.
Net revenues in the reported quarter jumped 16% year over year to $810.1 million, mainly due to higher average prices realized on produced coal volumes. Total shipments in the quarter were short of the company's expectations by 1.0 million tons.
Produced tons sold in the quarter totaled 9.8 million compared with 9.4 million in the year-ago quarter. In the quarter, metallurgical and industrial coal shipments represented 21% and 8%, respectively, of total tons sold.
Following the second quarter earnings release, the estimate revisions of analysts are trending downward. In the last 7 days, two (out of 14) analysts have slashed their earnings estimates for fiscal 2010, while 4 (out of 19) analysts have cut their estimates for fiscal 2011. Unsurprisingly, none of the analysts showed upward revisions in the past 7 days, as the effects of the UBB mine incident still continue to weigh on the company's results.
Annual estimate revisions, over the last 30-day period, also were largely negative, though there were a few disagreements to this trend. The visible downward trend, with 6 analysts lowering fiscal 2010 estimates and 7 analysts lowering fiscal 2011 estimates, was counteracted by upward estimate movement by an analyst each in fiscal 2010 and 2011.
Based on the number of estimate revisions over the last 7 days, annual estimates dipped 6 cents for 2010 and 11 cents for 2011. Over the one-month period, estimate revisions point to a 14-cent decline in the 2010 estimate while figures for 2011 slipped by 39 cents.
Long-term Neutral
A producer of nearly 40 million tons of coal annually Massey Energy enjoys a strong market position with operations primarily in Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. The company has coal supply commitments to a wide range of electric utilities, steel manufacturers, industrial customers and energy traders and brokers, which will enhance its operations. Moreover, we believe Massey has one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry.
However, the recent incident at the UBB mine has strained the company's productivity and imposed increased regulatory controls in Central Appalachian mining, making the region unviable for mining operations. Since the mishap, the company has faced a greater degree of regulatory scrutiny which has affected its other operations. The uncertainty regarding the date of re-opening the UBB mine remains a cause of concern for the company.
On the positive side, Massey is working hard to recover from the incident. As a strategy, the company plans to replace 1.3 million tons of metallurgical production lost from Upper Big Branch through increased shifts and additional continuous miner sections at its other metallurgical mines, which we view as a positive step.
Additionally, Massey is sketching out alternatives to access the coal reserves that had not been mined at Upper Big Branch. This however is subject to regulatory approval, which is likely to be negative.
Altogether, we like Massey for its well capitalized coal production capacity, high quality diversified reserves, met coal infrastructure, advantageous market share in Central Appalachia and strong balance sheet. We believe the effects of the UBB tragedy, though likely to be a drag in the near-term, will be mitigated over the long-term, re-positioning the company to benefit from the improving coal fundamentals.
We maintain our long-term Neutral recommendation on Massey, though the recently downgraded short-term Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) suggests underperformance in the near-term.
