Today's advice comes from Max-Wellness founder and CEO Michael Feuer in his column for Smart Business.
"Research and development is not just for tech companies or manufacturers but also for companies that plan to be around tomorrow. Even small businesses, as basic as a cleaning service, have to be on the lookout for anything that can do it better."
Feuer started Max-Wellness, a retailer of health and wellness products, after 16 years as CEO of OfficeMax, which he founded in 1998 and grew to a international company worth $5 billion in annual sales before selling it in 2003.
He says businesses need to get past the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" way of thinking and challenge themselves to constantly look for ways to improve what they're offering. It's the only way to maintain loyal customers who are always looking for the next best thing.
One way CEOs can do this is by inspiring a culture of innovation where employees ask questions and look for answers. It's never enough to settle on the original version of your product, or other companies will find a way to make it better and cheaper and your customers won't stick around.
"It all gets down to changing or being a casualty of change. When you improve your business, you can continue to dazzle your customers and hopefully keep them, which will make your business grow, allow sales and profits to increase and create more jobs. This is the heart of capitalism.

Even if the Miami Dolphins use their first-round pick to draft a quarterback, Ryan Tannehill will be the starter, without question, in 2018.
Team executives made that crystal clear on Wednesday, according to Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Lindor waved both arms at the crowd after crossing the plate, then came out for a curtain call as delirious fans shouted his name. That started the undoing for Odorizzi, who was cruising before giving up three homers in a span of 10 pitches — the last two by Ramirez and Brantley ending his night and giving the Indians a 4-0 lead.
Twins CF Byron Buxton, who was slated to start and bat eighth, was scratched about three hours before game time with a migraine. Robbie Grossman took his spot and started in right, and Max Kepler slid over to center.
San Juan's Bernie Williams, a four-time World Series winner with the Yankees, performed The Star-Spangled Banner on his guitar. Carlos Beltran threw out the ceremonial first pitch, and fellow Puerto Ricans Roberto Alomar, Carlos Baerga, Javier Vazquez and Carlos Delgado were among those on the field for pregame events.
Crosby missed much of the 2016 season with a foot injury, but returned to the starting lineup for the Ducks in 2017 and saw time on both the left and right sides during his college years. He should be available when the Giants pick in the second round — they have the No. 34 pick — and could hang around to the third round as well.
Tackle should be a spot of interest for the Giants under any circumstances, but Ereck Flowers' decision not to show up for offseason work may make it a bigger priority.
You've got to ride the wave, Cora said. We're playing good baseball, but they don't even know how many games they're winning. They just prepare and execute.
David Price (2-1) yielded three hits and four walks over five comfortable innings as the Red Sox improved to 14-2, extending the AL's best start since 1987 by winning the opener of a three-game series between two clubs off to impressive starts.

This week I have improved inventory!
Now when you fill the inventory, it becomes bigger, that means items will never be lost because there's not enough space in the inventory!
Filling inventory creates new inventory page. Removing all items from last inventory page, deletes that inventory page. And there's a limitation – if you want to start new mission, you cannot have more than 3 inventory pages. The inventory is infinite, but your computer's power is not!
After more than 10 pages created, FPS severely drops when adding the new item to the inventory, this should be even worse for the slower computers.
I could probably optimize inventory system to allow having 100 and more pages without any lag, but I would need to completely rewrite inventory system and I don't want to do that. It would take a lot of time and 3 inventory pages – that's 198 slots! – is more than enough, for now.
I wanted to make inventory kind-of-infinite, because the modular difficulty system will reward player with a lot of items at the end of the mission.
Here is the challenges that the modular difficulty system will offer:
Armoured Minions
Minions will have 50% more armour.
Deadly Minions
Minions will deal 25% more damage.
Deadly Encounters
You will have a chance to encounter dreadnoughts.
The Assault of the Modified
There will be more modified minions.
The Rain of Fire
Every 10 seconds the missile will be fired at you from the bombardment station. Find and destroy bombardment station to stop this.
Risk for Reward
XP and parts earned in this mission will be lost, if your spaceship will be destroyed.
Suicide Mission
Doubles required kill count for kill missions, doubles escort distance for the escort missions, doubles ruin data required for resurrection missions, doubles guardian kill count for the boss missions.
Only the Strongest
Swarmlings will only spawn with the big enemies, probes or scions will not spawn.
Every challenge/difficulty system module that you will accept will increase reward that you will get if you will complete mission with increased difficulty.
1 Module used
1 amplifier, 1 optimized part
2 Modules used
2 amplifiers, 3 optimized parts
3 Modules used
4 amplifiers, 6 optimized parts
4 Modules used
6 amplifiers, 3 advanced parts, 3 optimized parts
5 Modules used
8 amplifiers, 6 advanced parts, 3 optimized parts
6 Modules used
10 amplifiers, 6 extant parts, 6 advanced parts
7 Modules used
12 amplifiers, 12 extant parts, 6 advanced parts
8 Modules used
14 amplifiers, 12 extant parts, 12 advanced parts, 6 optimized parts
If you have never enabled hard mode - amplifiers are the items that you can use to upgrade spaceship parts. Upgrading makes the part as powerful as the part from the next tier. E,g,: upgraded generic part is like normal optimized part.
Of course, this is just a plan, just a bunch of ideas, so I don't really know how will this look in the end! But I hope as cool as I imagine it now!
Next week I will continue improving inventory and items.
I will make amplifiers stack-able, I will make amplifiers for properties that don't have amplifiers yet, I will merge apocalypse/carrier/goliath/nomad ability unleash chances into universal ability unleash chance, I will improve tooltips and maybe I will even start working on the modified enemies. (Does anyone remember sniper veterans?) After all that, I will be ready to work on the modular difficulty system!
Until next week!
Graphical update is here!
I proudly present one of the most game changing updates in Sector Six history!
It is also the last alpha update - with it Sector Six enters beta!
New backgrounds
Sector Six backgrounds have received many improvements – now they behave more realistically, give better illusion of depth and look more interesting because of the color layer.
New backgrounds have been added for every region and existing ones were improved.
New animations
New animations has been added for actions that previously had no animations.
This includes part installing, region entering and ability upgrading animations.
Combat improvements
Combat is now more fun! Projectiles have better particles, Missile Strike, Spread Mines and Death From Above abilities are faster, dreadnoughts attack only higher level players and are encountered less often, escort missions are less annoying, retreat exploit is fixed and so on!
Interface improvements
I have cleaned up ability interface, moved combat HUD armour, alloy and ether bars closer to the center of the screen, added loot box to the mission results interface, updated floating text system and improved part placing code, now placing parts in the building field is easier.
Now that alpha is finally over, there will be a lot more content updates!
This should be the most interesting development phase,
First beta update will be modular difficulty system and infinite inventory.
Modular difficulty system will allow players to make game harder for rewards, that will allow them to make game ever harder!
Have fun!
Full list of version 0.6.5 changes
One of the most game changing updates in Sector Six history is coming in two days featuring:

Sebastian Vettel (Infiniti Red Bull Racing) won a gripping Japanese Grand Prix to edge ever closer to his fourth drivers' title today. Team-mate Mark Webber came in second, ahead of Lotus F1 Team's Romain Grosjean, securing a podium lock-out for Renault for the second consecutive race. With Kimi Raikkonen bringing the second Lotus past the flag in fifth, four of the top five positions were Renault-powered. It is the first time in 17 years that Renault has secured two consecutive perfect podiums.
The thriller of a race started at the very first corner when Grosjean, who had started third, powered past Vettel and Webber. He pulled out a three second lead over Webber, with Vettel just behind, with the trio staying in formation until the first round of pit stops. Webber was the first to stop, with Grosjean just one lap later. Vettel duly made his stop a lap later, reinstating the Grosjean-Webber-Vettel status quo. The trio would remain in formation until the mid-point of the race when Webber made his second stop. It was at that point that the race changed with Webber on a three-stop strategy, and Vettel and Grosjean on a two-stop strategy. With newer tyres, Vettel was able to get past Grosjean on lap 41. Webber and the Frenchman had an intense battle until the final laps, but the Aussie was finally able to make a move stick two laps from the end.
Behind the leading pack a tight scrap developed with Hulkenberg, Alonso, Massa, the two McLarens, Saubers and Raikkonen all fighting for track position. The pack swapped positions through stops and on-track moves, with Hulkenberg proving a tough man to get past. Eventually Alonso and Raikkonen both got through in bold passes and built up a cushion over the Sauber to finish in fourth and fifth position.
The two Williams started well, with Valtteri Bottas and Pastor Maldonado both making good starts off the line and running in the midfield. Struggling with tyre wear at the end of the race, Maldonado finished in 16th and Bottas in 17th. Caterham F1 Team finished with Charles Pic in 18th, ahead of the Marussia of Max Chilton. However, Giedo van der Garde retired from the race on lap 1 after being involved in a first corner incident.
With four races remaining, Infiniti Red Bull Racing leads the Constructors' Championship by 445 points to Ferrari's 297. Mercedes has 287 to Lotus' 264. In the drivers' title race, Vettel is 90 points ahead of Alonso, however there is everything to play for behind, with Raikkonen third with 177, Hamilton fourth with 161 and Webber fifth with 148.
*1996 Canadian and French GPs
Rémi Taffin, Renault Sport F1 Head of Track Operations
It has been an exceptional two races for Renault Sport F1, with a new record in pole positions set by an engine manufacturer yesterday and then another 1-2-3 result today for the second race in succession. Suzuka is always a test for engines and rewards the strongest engine-chassis packages, so for us to score such a result here today is incredible. Everyone at Viry can be very proud to be part of this result – and to have this effort recognised by our partners Red Bull Racing on the podium.
We can also be pleased to contribute to some serious points for both Championships. We'll make it our aim in the coming races to maximize the points across all our partners and to finish the season – and the end of the V8 era – on a high. We will certainly aim to finish with a 1-2 in the Constructors' Championship with Red Bull and Lotus, if we can. We broke one record this weekend but it would be good to set the bar even higher now!

Flounder Assault
I had the pleasure of fishing again with Ken Peck, who brought along his buddy Brian to fish the back waters of Amelia Island this morning. I made the quick run to Oyster Bay Yacht Club to pick them up then we made a short hop over to Bell River to fish some flooding oysters on an incoming tide. The two anglers were tossing mud minnows under float rigs and Brian had a fairly quick bite, landing a feisty Redfish. After tangling with a Ladyfish, we picked up and ran further up the Bell to fish some docks with jigs before the tide got too high. Brian again had the hot rod, landing a couple of more feisty Reds and a small Seatrout. We continued on around to the Jolley River, fished around Snook Creek, caught a couple of small Reds, then moved down to the mouth of Jolley. Both Brian and Ken put some smaller Trout in the boat. Somewhere along in there they put a small Jack Crevalle in the boat. So we're thinking "4-5 small reds, 2-3 small trout, a few Ladyfish, and a Jack". Not such a great trip, we caught some fish, but Ho Hum. We made a stop on the outside of Tiger and all heck broke loose! BAM! Trout.
BAM! Flounder. BAM! Flounder. Flounder, Flounder, Trout, Flounder, Flounder, Trout, Trout, Flounder. Most of the Flounder were of keeper size and one Trout that finally got Brian's drag to "rip" ended up being a little over 19" in size. It was a full hour of fish catching and we left them biting! Now that's the way to wrap up a great day of fishing on here at Amelia Island, Florida.
If you ever need a sign, especially military related, contact Ken thru his website at www.altogetheramerican.com

CIT Arranges Financing in JLL Partners' American Dental Acquisition
CIT Group Inc. announced that CIT Healthcare served as joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner for the financing transaction in support of JLL Partners' acquisition of American Dental Partners. CIT underwrote $80.3 million of the $241 million financing in support of the go-private transaction. Financing was provided by CIT Bank. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
"Our financing of this acquisition is another example of CIT's commitment and expertise in financing the dental sector," said Steve Warden, president of CIT Healthcare. "This transaction represents the investment appetite for strong dental service platforms that have predictable revenue and cash flow generation characteristics, as well as limited exposure to government reimbursement in healthcare."
Michel Lagarde, managing director of JLL, said, "We selected CIT, KeyBank, and NXT Capital as our lead arrangers based on their expertise in the healthcare sector and their deep knowledge of the dental sector in general and of ADPI, in particular. These teams demonstrated leadership on the financing to support this transaction and we were very pleased with the outcome."
American Dental Partners is a business partner to dental group practices.
JLL Partners is a New York-based private equity investment firm that invests in a variety of industries, with special focus on healthcare services, financial services and business services.

Restored Railway Trail to be opened
The latest stretch of the Railway Trail to be restored under ambitious plans to reconnect the track will be officially opened this weekend.
A new bridge has been erected where the trail crossed Store Hill and a large section of the nearby Smith�s track has been cleared.
Michael Dunkley, the Premier, is expected to join Governor George Fergusson at the official opening of the bridge at 10.30am on Saturday.
The opening will bring to an end more than 11 months of planning and construction work on the Smith�s section of the trail.
The latest phase has involved four of the original old concrete pylons being raised and restored, while a brand new fifth pylon has been constructed to take the weight of the bridge sections.
Previously the restoration crew completed an extensive upgrade to the trail between Winton Hill and Coney Island that also involved the installation of new bridges.
Mike Murphy, together with his son, Tucker, has been at the forefront of the scheme.
He said:� On behalf of Friends of the Bermuda Railway I would especially like to thank our founding members Jay Nichols, Limbo Up Foundation and the insurers and reinsurers, Allied World Assurance, Ironshore Insurance Ltd., Renaissance Re., and the recently merged Montpelier Re.
�We appreciate them for having the foresight and vision as well as providing core financial backing to continue to connect the trail so that it becomes a safe and healthful place for Bermudians and tourists to exercise and enjoy the scenery along the way.�
Anyone wishing to attend this Saturday�s opening can park at the Penhurst Park parking area and make their way to the bridge through a newly created cut-through.

News Save Our Sons team walk the bay for DMD
3 April 2017 – After 11 days on the road the Walk to Save Our Sons 2017 Edition team arrived in Melbourne's St Kilda today to be greeted by hundreds of enthusiastic families and supporters after completing a 300 kilometre circuitous route around the Port Philip Bay area to raise awareness and funding for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
This year's marathon walk raised in total just over $1 million, including the charity's target $650,000 for online donations and the fundraiser Gala Dinner last Saturday night.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common form of muscular dystrophy in children. The disease causes aggressive muscle degeneration almost exclusively in young boys, but on rare occasions can affect young girls, and leads to the inability to walk and presently has no cure.
An 8.30am start at Queen Vic Market on Tuesday 21 March saw the team of walkers warmed up and ready to tackle the first day. They were waved off by a large band of supporters, many of whom accompanied the team along the way offering encouragement.
Leading the core team of 12 was Save Our Sons founder, Elie Eid, who pushed his son, Emilio, a DMD sufferer, in a wheelchair all the way. Along the route, local supporters joined the walk.
PAYCE project manager, Michael Malak, a long-time supporter of Save Our Sons, joined the fundraiser walk again this year after participating in last year's Albury to Melbourne walk and the Sydney to Canberra walk in 2015.
Michael said it was an honour to join the team for the third year running and to be representing his employer, PAYCE who added its strong support again this year.
Michael set himself a target of raising $12,500 and by the end of the walk had easily exceeded that figure to contribute $20,440 through donations he attracted for his endeavours.
He said there were many highlights along the way, but he said one that stood out was meeting with doctors and nurses of the neuromuscular department at the Royal Children's Hospital.
"Jemima Mitchell is the first clinical trials nurse to be funded by the SOS Duchenne Foundation and one of the aims of our fundraising walk is to get more clinical nurses into all main children's hospitals in the country."
PAYCE Director, Dominic Sullivan said PAYCE welcomed the opportunity to support the Save Our Sons' initiative to build awareness for the Duchenne muscular dystrophy disease.
"The funds raised go to researching a cure so that children with this currently incurable disease can have a better and longer life," he said.
"Our thoughts were with young Emilio and his father throughout their journey and it was good news to learn they and all the team had successfully completed their mission and happy to have yet again completed such a gruelling but rewarding marathon walk."
The team were overwhelmed by the support shown as they travelled around the bay, with lots of donations from people on the streets and support from businesses along the way.
Save Our Sons is a member of a global alliance, called the Duchenne Alliance, to take the fight against DMD worldwide.
Funding of scientific trials is coordinated and allocated by Save the Sons, based on the advice of a team of expert scientific advisors around the world to ensure which trials will produce the maximum benefit. To donate to Save Our Sons go to www.saveoursons.org.au/donate-now.

Allen Iverson"s estranged wife is frightened of her husband — claiming the NBA legend has been harassing her and her family … and now, she wants a restraining order.
Tawanna Iverson just filed legal docs in the couple"s bitter divorce battle — claiming Allen "has engaged in increasingly contemptuous, threatening, and disturbing behavior" over the last few months … and she"s afraid things will get worse.
Tawanna is asking for a judge to issue a protective order stat. It"s unclear whether she wants Iverson to stay away physically, or just stop harassing her.
Tawanna also claims Allen is hiding big money from her — and she wants a judge to stop him.
Calls to Allen"s camp were not returned.

Sponsored data has the power to make the Internet cheap, small and branded
I've written before about how as mobile surpasses desktop in dominance over the next few years with the app serving as the major entry point, the wide open wild west of the Internet will become a much smaller experience.
In that light, I had been secretly happy earlier this year when AT&T's sponsored data plan didn't get any traction. The idea was that companies could sponsor the data you use while in their apps. We use our smartphones often in moments where we used to be just doing nothing. There's a huge element of distraction to it. If something is there, and free to browse, it's amazing how thoughtless that decision becomes. Sponsored data seemed like a bad companion for the aimlessness of our mobile use.
I spent 15 minutes on eBay on a Delta flight recently just because it was free to browse, a site that I don't think I'd browsed in many years, because it was only an hour long journey, I didn't have a book and didn't want to pay $10 for Internet.
There had been speculation that Amazon would be AT&T's first client. But it never eventuated. However my joy in seeing AT&T struggle ended yesterday, when Seattle's Syntonic Wireless announced a plan for a branded marketplace through the program. When it launches, you will open the app and it will offer you access to a range of sites to browse and a selection of apps to download that won't count against your data cap. A screenshot of the software on Recode showed that access would be opened up to Amazon, Etsy, eBay and Groupon.
There's something hugely unsurprising about sponsored data and completely insidious at the same time. Now that we're paying for music, news and television in ever diminishing numbers, companies will find other ways to make our consumption lucrative by making us sit through sponsored messages. In mobile games, the idea of monetizing users by making them watch an ad between levels has taken hold. Or on a more obvious level, think free Spotify, or YouTube.
But sponsored data is different. If we want to download Spotify and not pay for a premium service, the trade off to us is having to listen to an advert. We sought the service out.
If the sponsored data plan takes off, it corrupts our choices at their root. Writ large, it could result in penny-conscious browsers sticking with companies big enough to underwrite our data to secure our business, favoring for example, Amazon over independent retailers, USA Today over independent media, and so on.
Apps make the world smaller on mobile and sponsored data has the potential to work like a bribe to keep that real estate just that much more cramped again.

Archive: UNESCO's Past Activities on Capacity Development and Education for Sustainable Development (i.e. pre-January 2005)
Education problems and challenges in Small Island States are compounded by the three now well known variables-scale, isolation and dependence---examined over two decades ago as part of the preparation and convening of a conference on educational development in Small States organized by the Commonwealth Secretariat in Mauritius in 1985. At the time, the problems were analyzed by the former head of UNESCO's Regional Office for the Pacific States in papers prepared for the 1985 Mauritius Conference and for the Organization's educational review «Prospects».
In terms of concrete field activities, early examples of UNESCO work included a joint initiative with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) on curriculum development based at the University of the South Pacific from 1969 to 1975. Subsequent educational projects in the other regions, activities included the preparation of distance learning materials for educational planners and policy-makers in the Caribbean, a joint project of UNESCO's International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) and the University of West Indies. Starting in the late 1970, several activities within the UNESCO-UNEP International Environmental Education Programme focused on heightening environmental awareness in Small Island situations.
One 1993 monograph on educational planning for Small Island States, in IIEP's Fundamentals of Educational Planning series, addressed the triple themes of Small States in a theoretical and historical perspective, implications of small size for educational planning, and strategic reflections. Other IIEP monographs have addressed subjects of special interest to Small-Island management of distance learning systems and national strategies for e-learning in post-secondary education and training (the central thesis of which is that e-learning is bringing about an important shift within the education sector, and is changing the very nature of learning).
Overviews of this and related work were included in two reviews prepared for the Barbados and Mauritius conferences. «Education and the world of Small Island States» was among the chapters of Island Agenda, an overview of past, ongoing and planned activities of UNESCO related to Small Islands prepared for the Barbados Conference of April – May 1994. Ten years later, «Education»again provided one of the chapters in another overview prepared as part of UNESCO's preparations for the Mauritius International Meeting of January 2005 – Island Agenda 20047: Coping with Change and Sustaining Diversities in Small Islands.Back to top

I'm a very active mother of kids so nothing can stop me from getting things done.Also I think nothing like this is permanent and there are always new advances in medicine. I do know that all the little things you take for granted that are precious, now have become complicated. Since my temporary ostomy I had a heads up to all the obstacles to come with my new ostomy.Here is my point blank and very specific description of my ostomy woes.
In April 2008 due to a Crohns disease colonoscopy gone wrong, I received a temporary ostomy which proved to make a nightmare summer. Since September 2014, I now have a permanent ostomy which can be awful at times. Since the surgery I have regained a normal weight, feel better and don't take any Crohns medicines right now. Even so, I have this whole other set of issues with the ostomy to deal with.
First of all I have very sensitive skin so I break out in rashes/fungal skin infections, so the bags don't stick well to my skin. In 2008 and still now It is quite the experimental process to get the appliances to stick to my skin more than 2 to 3 days. I have been going through many different kinds of products to try to achieve success.
Second there are no great appliances yet that stay on long enough to make any water activities pleasant. Taking a shower is now a luxury and a gross process. Also a bath is out of the question. Swimming I can't even imagine yet.
Third of all when you pass gas, wind or fart your bag starts to fill with air. Then you run the risk of it popping or exploding poo all over, if you don't release the excess air in it. It is amazing that you become aware that this is happening even when sleeping.
Fourth is emptying and sealing the ostomy bag. You thought wiping your butt was bad. When you wake up half asleep in the middle of the night to empty the bag, you try not to pass out from the smell because your nose is up close to the toilet as you do this. As you are doing this there is also poop getting on your fingers. Then you have to wipe the poop off the bag closure so that you can roll or clip it shut. It's also great when you have to empty it in a not so clean bathroom of a store or gas station. Then I put down paper towels to kneel on so my pants don't get dirty.
Fifth is sexual relations with your partner is not the same. It is difficult for me to feel awesome and sexual with my ostomy bag flapping around. My significant other doesn't seem to mind,but I'm grossed out by any long drawn out lovemaking events.
Last but not least I have to carry a little ostomy emergency supply bag with me wherever I go. Sometimes my bag may leak so i have to patch it and other times it is coming off so I have to replace it before there is poo all over my clothing.
I have talked to many support groups, Doctors and regular people on the woes of the ostomy. Some people really understand what this all about and others don't quite get it. So here is a big hoorah to all my fellow troopers out there.

Why See Dermot Kennedy?
Dermot Kennedy Lands On US Shores This Fall
Finding the perfect balance between extremes both thematically and sonically, wether that be lyrical explorations of life and death, love and loss, or the heady juxtaposition of Bon Iver-esque indie arrangements and R&B/hip hop production values that call to mind Drake, up-and-coming Irish singer songwriter Dermot Kennedy and his poetic vision has proved a huge success both in his home territories and stateside. Catch the rising star as he hits the road on the 'Keep The Evenings Long' tour of North America this fall!
At only 25 years old, Kennedy has a musical maturity that belie his young years, which not only blossoms in his emotive songwriting, but his spellbinding live performances as well. No stranger to selling out venues from Cologne to Chicago, the performer's powerful, husky vocals command the attention of even the chattiest concert goers at the back of the room. His charismatic stage presence weaves together hypnotic grooves, wistful melodies and soaring choruses that audiences just can't help but sing along to.

Eyebrow transplant surgery, also known as an eyebrow hair transplant, is a type of eyebrow restoration procedure in which the appearance

Eyebrow transplant surgery, also known as an eyebrow hair transplant, is a type of eyebrow restoration procedure in which the appearance of the eyebrows is restored. Some patients may opt for this procedure in order to change the shape or thickness of their eyebrows. Although the procedure was first developed as a means to help burn victims get over physical and psychological trauma, eyebrow transplant surgery became a very popular cosmetic procedure due to its results and simplicity.
Both the FUE and FUT techniques may be used to perform an eyebrow transplant, with the latter being more popular among surgeons and patients.
Around 50 to 350 hair follicles are transplanted during an average eyebrow transplant surgery. The procedure itself can last a few hours.
Eyebrow transplant surgery is a great option for patients with missing, scarred or very thin eyebrows. Patients may have lost their eyebrows due to laser hair removal, genetics, over plucking, trauma, burns or hormonal abnormalities which lead to lower hair density in the area.
Eyebrow transplant surgery is not recommended for individuals with bald spots on the back of the head or patients suffering from spot baldness. Diffuse pattern balding is also a contraindication to eyebrow transplant surgery, as the condition affects all areas of the scalp, including the back of the head (the donor area), effectively making the hair follicles from this area unusable for the eyebrow restoration procedure.
Patients need to avoid any oral supplements, vitamins, aspirin, anti inflammatory medicine and smoking for at least a week before the eyebrow transplant surgery – these can have a negative influence on the procedure and the healing process.
Local anaesthesia is first administered to the patient. The procedure is performed differently, depending on the technique used:
If the FUT technique is used, a strip of hair follicles are removed from the donor area. The incision is then closed with sutures. The strip is put under a microscope and the surgeon and his team will begin selecting healthy hair follicles that match the patient's existing eyebrows colour and width. Small incisions are made in the eyebrows region. The incisions are created at an angle that mimics the patient's natural eyebrows. The hair follicles are then placed into these incisions and the procedure is over.
With the FUE technique, a micromotor with a micropunch is used to harvest hair follicles from the donor area. The hair follicles are then transplanted into the eyebrows region.
Local anesthetic
1 to 2 hours
Patients will be provided with a set of instructions which need to be followed carefully. Pain medication, sleeping pills or antibiotics may be prescribed to the patient by the doctor. Antibiotics are usually prescribed to patients undergoing FUT eyebrow transplant surgery. Rubbing, scratching or touching the eyebrows is not advised for at least a week.
There are no known risks or complications associated with eyebrow transplant surgery. The only potential risk is an infection, if the FUT technique is used. Patients are usually prescribed antibiotics in order to prevent any infection in the donor area.
Eyebrow transplant surgery side effects can include one or more of the following:
● Swelling around the donor area
● Itchiness around the eyebrows
● Redness and pimples around the eyebrows
Patients can also expect some pain around the donor area, if the FUT technique is used.
Eyebrow transplant reviews set the success rate between 95 and 98%, one year after the eyebrow restoration procedure is performed.
The patient's newly implanted hair follicles will fall off in around 2-3 weeks and then they will begin to grow naturally over the course of two months. Eyebrow transplant surgery provides patients with great results, but the transplanted hair will need to be trimmed every month, as it is still genetically designed to grow continuously.

Australia's biggest pub is very pleased to have its prize giant cow Bessy returned, after she was recently abducted by cattle thieves.
Eatons Hill Hotel was gearing up to once again bring "the Country to the City" with the sixth instalment of its annual Rodeo, to take place 1 April.
Somehow, in the early hours of the big day, a few blithesome patrons of the hotel managed to abscond with the 6.5-metre tall blow-up bovine mascot from outside the Hotel, located on busy South Pine Road.
Fearing the worst, staff rushed to social media to plead for Bessy's return – Deflated or Alive!
A $1,000 reward was offered to stimulate the conscience of those in the know.
There was extra incentive in the statement that the assailants had been caught "on security footage" and investigations were ongoing.
On the morning of Monday, 3 April, "several men" were seen approaching staff about Bessy's safe return.
Speaking with PubTIC, Comiskey Group CEO and owner of the Eatons Hill Hotel, Robert Comiskey, says they are glad to have her back, and thanked the power of the social masses.
"The support and interest in the theft has been amazing.
"It just goes to show that social media can sometimes work for you in times like this … I doubt we would have ever seen Bessy again if the story didn't go viral."

Girls Got Cream Review
For those that don't already know a creampie, in porn terms, is when a guy fucks a chick then cums inside her and she squeezes the jizz back out. Girls Got Cream is all over that niche and they have girls taking hot loads in both holes and loving every drop of the man sauce inside them. I do wish the member's area was done a little differently. As it is there are over 60 girls on Girls Got Cream. Each girl has a movie page and a picture page. They only have three girls per page and you have sort through a bunch of pages to check out all the girls. I wish they had them all on a few pages so it was easier to browse. Aside from that the individual girl's pages look great and the other stuff like the bonus sites are easy to find.
As I looked around I found that the girls on this site really are pretty hot. Girls Got Cream seems to focus on the 18-20 year old range and all of the girls I saw looked the part.
The action is pretty standard hardcore up until the end. There isn't any real set-up, these girls just get naked and get right down to business. They give head, get licked then get fucked, often in both holes, then the guy explodes and shoots his load inside them, the camera zooms in and the girls squeeze the cum back out. If you enjoy this type of action you will really love the scenes because they get very up close and personal with the pussy or ass as she works the load back out. The actual sex is pretty good too. The girls are sexy and watching them get slammed in multiple positions is pretty fun.
Photos and Video:
Some of the girls have actual digital stills of them. For these girls the pictures are pretty nice. They are clear and good looking. Other girls have only screen shots taken from the videos. These screen shots are pretty low in quality and really aren't worth your time other than as a way to fully preview the movie. Speaking of the movies each girl has a movie that is about 20 minutes long and is broken down into smaller clips. The clips are in WMV format and they have four quality levels. The first level is really bad. So bad it is almost unwatchable. Honestly, I'm not even sure why they put these movies up. The second level is better, but still blurry and kind of rough. The third level is better yet. The movie is now pretty clear and looks fine at its original screen size, but breaks up if you try to enlarge it. The last level is what I consider DVD quality. It looks really good and holds its quality perfectly even at full screen size.
There are no dates on Girls Got Cream so there is no way of knowing when or how often the site updates.
Your membership to Girls Got Cream also gives you access to four other sites. These sites also focus in the teen niche and are pretty good amateur and hardcore teen sites. They do add some nice value for fans of 18-20 year babes.
Girls Got Cream is a good site in the creampie niche. There is a pretty large amount of content, even if it is laid out in a somewhat frustrating way, and the overall quality of the movies is very good. The bonus teen sites are a nice addition and are sure to please teen porn fans. I did wish there was some way of knowing how often the site updated though. That said, the flaws on this site are minor and I think fans of this niche will really enjoy what they find here.

Good site, he is a clod. Should be nicer to girls. Like to see some buildup before sex, like meeting girl at store or any outside background. Would also like to see one of reality kings actor should one of there major cumshots in girls.

I always loved Jupiter Island. Blowing Rock park when the surf is really coming in can be really cool.
Welcome to the US!
Thank you, feels great to be here!
You seriously do have the perfect body haha! Hope your boat is ready to sail in no time! If you pass through North Carolina please let me know.
That's what you think cause I don't zoom in on my cellulites, Andi. If we don't pass by North Carolina now, we will probably do so on the road trip later this summer.
I have been reading your blog from the time you left Spain. I guess over 3 1/2 years now! I lived in Miami and Palm Beach (the island)and its so crazy to see you both in the surroundings I have called home for so many years. You area gifted writer and wonderful photographer. Its been interesting watching you evolve over the years. Enjoy the US! Hugs, Lora
You are in my back yard!! If you need anything while in the Jupiter area, let me know!!! I would be glad to help...wether it's a car ride to Whole Foods or West Marine!! Cheers and Fair Winds!
