A Northamptonshire man has appeared in front of magistrates charged with raping a woman in a park on Wednesday night.
Michael Small, 42, of Well Lane, Rothwell, appeared before Northampton Magistrates' Court this afternoon in connection with the incident, which took place in the pocket park near Glendon Road, Rothwell, between 10pm and 10.25pm on Wednesday, May 6.
He appeared in the dock today in a grey tracksuit and spoke only to confirm his name and address.
During the hearing, prosecutor Kwok Wan outlined the case against Small.
He said the alleged victim was on her way home from work when she claims she was approached by Small in the park near Glendon Road.
Mr Wan said the defendant then proceeded to rape the woman in the park.
For Small, Chris Bennett disputed the prosecution version of events, claiming Small and the woman had consensual sex at his flat shortly after meeting in the park.
Small was remanded in custody until May 22 when he is due to appear at Northampton Crown Court for a preliminary hearing.

Until this week, it hadn't been publicly revealed that a woman working at a Dolphins golf outing a year and a half ago had accused offensive lineman Richie Incognito of battery. But Dolphins coach Joe Philbin says the team did deal with the matter privately, at the time it happened.
"We were made of aware of the situation, we took immediate action," Philbin said today. "Any club action we took against any player would remain private."
Of course, it's not entirely true to say that "any club action" would remain private: After all, when the Dolphins took action against Incognito for harassing teammate Jonathan Martin, that action didn't remain private. The Dolphins issued a public statement announcing the suspension. Perhaps if the Dolphins had suspended Incognito for his actions at the golf outing, he would have gotten the message that he needed to change his behavior. Instead, the Dolphins decided to keep the matter hush-hush. And even now, a year and a half later, Philbin won't say what action the Dolphins took against Incognito at the time.
Philbin also said that Martin could have approached him at any time if he felt he was being mistreated by Incognito or other teammates.
"I believe I'm approachable to the players," Philbin said.
Despite the distraction that the Incognito-Martin situation has caused, Philbin said his team's focus is on Monday night's game against the Buccaneers.
"We don't get paid for distractions. We get paid to go out and perform. We have a big game on Monday night," Philbin said.
It's a game that the Dolphins may need to win in order to keep their season from spiraling out of control.

Royal City Man Pleads Guilty to Distributing Meth
COEUR D'ALENE – Severiano V. Valle, 49, of Royal City, Washington, pleaded guilty yesterday in United States District Court in Coeur d'Alene to possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson announced.
According to the plea agreement, Valle was stopped by the Kootenai County Interdiction Team on February 8, 2011. A dog specially trained to detect the presence of drugs alerted law enforcement to 449 grams of methamphetamine in the trunk of Valle's car. Valle admitted he was taking the methamphetamine to another person.
The charge is punishable by a minimum term of five years in prison up to a maximum of 40 years, a maximum fine of $5 million, and a minimum term of four years of supervised release.
Sentencing is set for March 26, 2012, before U.S. District Judge Edward J. Lodge at the federal courthouse in Coeur d'Alene.
The case was investigated by the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office and the North Idaho Violent Crime Task Force (NIVCTF). NIVCTF members include the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Idaho State Police, Kootenai County Sheriff's Office, Shoshone County Sheriff's Office, Bonner County Sheriff's Office, Coeur d'Alene Police Department, Post Falls Police Department, and the Coeur d'Alene Tribal Police Department. The NIVCTF investigates a myriad of violent crimes, including armed robbery, kidnapping, felonious assault and drug trafficking.

Industry news and views
Is your website SSL protected?
Since July, Google Chrome has started to identify any websites that only use HTTP encryption as being 'not secure' (read an article from Search Engine Land). Sites that it regards as secure are those that have migrated to HTTPS encryption and have an SSL certificate. To find out more about SSL, please click here.
HTTPS can be easily identified on a web browser, as it shows a green lock that confirms that the site is secure in the top left hand side of the address bar. At Spirit, we firmly recommend HTTPS and have been implementing this on the customer websites that we host since 2016.
Will artificial intelligence replace mobiles?
According to Google, the technology world is changing and soon artificial intelligence (AI) will take priority over mobiles. At a recent event, the company's CEO, Sundar Pichai, said: "We're excited by the shift from a mobile-first to an AI-first world. It is not just about applying machine learning in our products, but it's radically re-thinking how computing should work."
Google isn't the only company to believe that AI will open up a new world of opportunities. A McKinsey study of companies in South East Asia suggests that the "AI haves are pulling ahead of the have-nots". You can find out more at https://www.techinasia.com/ai-haves-are-pulling-ahead-of-have-nots.
The future of Windows Mobile 6.5
Don't panic – Zebra reports that Windows Mobile isn't being phased out in the short term. Microsoft currently says that it will continue to support it through to 2020 and Zebra will continue to supply and support devices to this date and beyond. However, after this date, Microsoft won't be releasing any updates or patches for Windows Mobile.
Zebra recommends that for longer term solutions, customers should consider and evaluate its Android portfolio of products.
SOTI will only support Webroot for another year
Android antivirus protection is included with SOTI's MobiControl enterprise mobility management (EMM) software. SOTI is committed to providing the best possible integrated antivirus protection and will be updating the technology that powers MobiControl's antivirus protection.
From December 2017, SOTI will therefore be migrating to the Bitdefender antivirus engine, which will replace the Webroot antivirus engine. Consequently, support for Webroot will cease on December 31st, 2018. Customers running Android agents 13.4 and below must upgrade their agents by this date to continue to use antivirus protection. Please contact SOTI Support (email@example.com) for further information.
Do you have your new Axicon barcode verification software?
The ISO/IEC standard for measuring barcode print quality has changed recently, with the introduction of a fractional grading approach. All Axicon barcode verifiers should now have had their software updated to comply with the new standard. Updates to the Axicon Linear Verifier software and the Axicon Camera Verifier software have been published on the Downloads page of the company's website at www.axicon.com.
The changes mean that print quality will be graded more finely and some barcodes that failed to meet the grade previously will now pass. It's important to upgrade your software so that the results from your verifiers use the same ISO/IEC print quality standard. More details can be found on the Axicon website.
Industry trends and new releases
Beat the price increases!
A number of manufacturers have told us that they will be increasing the prices of their products – some by up to 10% – within the next few weeks. If you're likely to need anything soon, why not send in your order now before the prices rise?
A boom in 2D barcodes
Zebra has reported that 2D barcodes are now becoming more widely used, and this trend is likely to continue in the future. The company believes that there are various reasons why companies are increasingly migrating to handheld 2D imagers. These include saving money (due to the ability to read virtually all types of barcodes, signatures and documents); support for new applications and marketing campaigns that use 2D codes; and the ability to accelerate processes by capturing more data in less time.
A host of new product releases are waiting to entice you in the New Year. Here are a few – please get in touch with us if you'd like more information:
Dodging the bullets: the SM15
M3's new SM15 is a mobile computer with a full-touch screen and is the world's first rugged handheld device to feature an octa-core processor. The SM15 also has a host of other features, including an incredibly tough, bullet-proof film on the screen. It runs on Android 7.1 and has an integral 16 megapixel camera. This is a very exciting product and Spirit will also soon be adding payment via Veriphone.
Take a tablet for it: the Getac EX80
The Getac EX80 tablet PC is an ATEX-certified device with Windows touchscreen technology that's ideal for use in the oil and gas sector or other industries with harsh conditions and potential fire hazards. Its intrinsically safe design makes it suitable for operations in Zone 1, Zone 2 and non-hazardous areas. The EX80 has a Windows 10 operating system, is thin and compact and has an IP67 rating.
Scanning the horizon: the Honeywell Xenon 1902
The Honeywell Xenon 1902 is a wireless area imaging scanner that can read both 1D and 2D barcodes. It provides industry-leading performance and reliability for a wide variety of applications that require the versatility of area-imaging technology combined with the freedom of Bluetooth® wireless connectivity. The 1902 is a compact scanner powered by Adaptus® Imaging Technology 6.0 and the battery provides up to 14 hours of life before being recharged..
Mounting the rhino – the Datalogic Rhino II
Datalogic's Rhino II is a vehicle-mount computer available with either a 10 or 12 inch display. Designed for tough warehouse environments, it has an IP65/67 rating. A dedicated freezer-rated model with an integral display heater enables the Rhino II to be used in and out of cold storage. The capacitive touch models feature 3mm anti-glare armoured glass but can be used whilst wearing gloves. The new model comes with a wide choice of operating systems.
A terminal solution: the Zebra MC3300 and Ivanti Velocity
The Zebra MC3300 mobile computer is a best-in-class device that's designed to run on Android. You can run terminal emulation applications right out of the box, and the MC3300 comes with one of the most popular terminal emulators, Ivanti Velocity. The touchscreen and Zebra's AllTouch TE make it easy to migrate to a more modern touchscreen interface for a great user experience. And the MC3300 comes with ten years of guaranteed security support.
Ivanti (formerly Wavelink) Velocity can take the legacy green-on-black screens associated with terminal emulation to a new generation of devices, using rich HTML screens without the need for any middleware or changes to back-end systems. The migration can be carried out at a pace that suits you, referred to as MOMS: Migrate your existing app to Android; Optimise the user experience; Modernise to a new user interface; and Speakeasy (voice-enable your app).
New printers from Zebra and Honeywell
Zebra's ZQ320 is a fast, versatile and reliable mobile printer that can print both receipts and labels. There are two models – for internal (retail operations) and external use. It offers class-leading battery power, impressive durability and easy but powerful remote management capabilities. Both models provide the fastest wireless connections available. Zebra has also released the RFID ZQ520– the only barcode printer to combine the convenience and flexibility of a mobile printer with the enhanced tracking capabilities of UHF RFID.
The Honeywell PM42 is a mid-range industrial label printer that's ideal for manufacturing, retail, transportation and distribution activities. It's very rugged, and its all-metal construction makes it ideal for harsh environments. It's easy to use, with both the magnetic print head and the print roller being made for quick replacement. This new thermal printer has a full-colour, graphical display with support for nine languages. The simple web interface means that it can be managed easily by smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices.

CRN UK, in conjunction with Channelnomics Europe and Red Hat, conducted a survey of over 140 resellers, MSPs and consultancies in the UK, France and Germany to explore the difference that digital transformation has made to their businesses over the last year, along with the associated challenges that it presents. To download the full report, visit https://www.channelweb.co.uk/crn-uk/report/3012182/the-digital-transformation-challenge.
A guide to field service change management
Field Service News has published a new White Paper: 'The Wind of Change: How and when to implement your FSM system – a guide to change management best practices'. This provides a useful overview that looks at the question of when and how you should be upgrading your mission-critical field service management system.
The report explores the key signs that suggest that your system could possibly need upgrading and also explains how to minimise any potential disruption. For more information, go to http://mailchi.mp/fieldservicenews/white-paper-preparing-for-the-connected-customer-778601?e=2d34233bb3.
That's the Spirit!
Recent Spirit case studies
A recent case study involved 151 Products:
- 151 Products provides over 1,500 different household, DIY and automotive products. The company needed to streamline activities such as stock control and picking and packing in its 200,000 sq ft distribution centre. We provided it with Honeywell ScanPal EDA50K scanners and Zebra GK420 thermal printers, which are already helping to enhance efficiency, accuracy and cost savings. Once it is fully operational, the new solution is expected to boost productivity by some 20%.

Locating remote sites with what3words
Have you heard of what3words? It's been around for quite a while but now seems to be coming into its own as a great location tool. The world has been divided up into 3m x 3m squares, each of which has been given its own unique three-word address. This enables users to find any location quickly and easily. This useful tool is available online or as a free app for mobiles and can also be built into other apps, platforms or websites.
This versatile service is already used internationally for deliveries, and Mercedes will include it in all of its sat-navs in the future. Spirit is also exploring the possibility of building it into our products, as it could be invaluable to companies that deliver items to remote places with no postcode or only partial addresses. It could also be used to direct drivers to building sites that don't yet have an address – or even to fields. Contact us for more information.
Azure cloud migration
Dan Spruce from Spirit recently attended a conference about cloud hosting. The event included presentations about Microsoft's Azure, Parallel's remote application server (RAS) and Barracuda's network security solutions.
Spirit is currently considering using Azure cloud hosting for some of our future software projects, possibly with a Platform as a Service (PaaS) set-up. PaaS gives customers a platform that enables them to develop, run and manage apps without having to build and maintain the associated infrastructure. This will reduce the time and cost involved in deploying software.
In the spotlight – Andy McKenna
Andy is our Project and Technical Specialist and has over seven years' experience in the industry. He joined Spirit after graduating with a Masters in Chemical Engineering and has progressed through various roles, gaining skills in all of the technical areas of the company's work. His main responsibilities include managing complex technical projects, reviewing new solutions available on the market and improving the processes and procedures used by Spirit employees.
In his spare time, Andy is a keen golfer who claims to have achieved a hole in one (there's a photo of a ball in a hole!). He's recently had his first child and is enjoying every moment of this new experience.

Michelle Kwan Is Engaged — Congrats
Congratulations are in order for Michelle, who has announced her engagement to Clay Pell! Read on for all the details.
Olympian Michelle Kwan is engaged! The champion figure skater has announced her engagement to Clay Pell through People magazine.
Clay, 30, is the director for strategic planning on the National Security staff at the White House. He and Michelle, 32, first met in April of 2011. Michelle tells the magazine, "It was a simple decision and it made sense, that's what's so exciting to me. We are working together as a team, like in [pair skating]."
Of the proposal, which took place on Block Island, off the coast of Rhode Island, Michelle tells the magazine, "It was hot and we were going to go into the water to cool ourselves off a little bit. I wasn't anticipating going swimming. I said, 'I don't feel comfortable because I don't have my bathing suit on.' He's like, 'No, come on in,' so I said, 'Okay.'"
Clay continues, "I was nervous about wanting to do it right, but I wasn't nervous about what the answer would be. We had been talking for a while about how we would like to have a family and the idea of getting married and what we wanted to do with our lives – and public service. So I think we both knew where we were relationship-wise and where we were going."
Both have a history working in public service. Michelle was appointed to serve on the Council to Empower Women and Girls Through Sports in June by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and she continues to work in the State Department as a U.S. public policy envoy. Clay, who is also a JAG and Lieutenant in the U.S. Coast Guard, is the grandson of late Rhode Island Sen. Clairborne Pell, who established Pell Grants for colleges 40 years ago.
Congrats, Michelle and Clay!
Are you excited for Michelle, HollywoodLifers?

Surname: GERO / GEROE
Name: YEHUDITH
Birth Date: June 7th 1948
Birth Place: Israel
Father's Name: Not clear
Mother's Name: Barbara Borbala Gero/ Geroe born Oct 28th 1911 in Budapest, Hungary
died in Israel in May 1991
MATERNAL GRANDFATHER: MD Dr. Erpad / Arpad Gero/ Geroe
MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER: Julia or Julianna Gero /Geroe
Yehudith was born in 1948 in Israel, but her story is a chapter of the post Holocaust period.
Barbara Gero / Geroe was born in 1911 in Budapest and grew up in a well to do Jewish family. Her father Dr. Erpad / Arpad Gero / Geroe was a medical doctor and her mother, Julianna Gero / Geroe, an insurance agent.
According to some notes her mother left behind, she pursued academic studies and held a doctorate in economy.
She also wrote that she was pressured into marrying while still young, had a daughter in that marriage and then divorced. What was the family name of this unknown husband and what was the given name of the halfsister?
When was this older half sister born?
Did Barbara keep her married name after she divorced?
Barbara also took a course as a Red Cross nurse in Hungary – perhaps in the beginning of the 1940's? In any case there is a photo of Barbara in her Red Cross uniform.
In March 1944 the German Army occupied Hungary. What happened to Dr. Erpad / Arpad Gero / Geroe and his wife Julianna during the German occupation?
Yehudith would like to know more about how her mother survived Holocaust.
What happened to Yehudith's older half sister during the Holocaust?
As the war ended, Barbara Gero / Geroe made her way to Italy where she worked in children's homes. Did she use her maiden name or her married name during her stay in Italy?
In March 1948 Barbara left Italy and arrived in Eretz Israel, alone and pregnant. Who was Yehudit's father?
Because of the difficulties encountered in Israel being alone with her daughter, Yehudith grew up in institutions and foster families, not knowing her mother.
Only in 1981, after a very complicated research, did Yehudith find her. Unfortunately she was not able to share much information about herself or Yehudith's father.
The mother died in 1991.
Some new exciting documents have been found in Hungary. This will now require some serious research to see how this can help us further. In this case it was Yehudith herself who with the help of the Hungarian Embassy in Tel Aviv took the initiative. Mazal tov, Yehudith!
Another lead regarding a man who may have been Yehudith's father has come up.

There are more than 130 skilled occupations that can be practiced through Ontario's apprenticeship training system. Chefs, educational assistants, plumbers, auto mechanics and welders are all trades that can be defined as "skilled trades," and represent occupations that are integral to the functioning of Ontario's economy.
Becoming an apprentice is the best way to begin on a promising career path. Skilled workers are in high demand by a variety of industries such as construction, electrical engineering, or becoming a chef.
Apprentices learn a skilled occupation by combining in-school training courses with paid on-the-job training. About 90 per cent of apprenticeship training is provided in the workplace by an employer, while the remainder involves in-school instruction at a training institution like Confederation College.
Three Ways to Become an Apprentice:
- Find an employer who is willing to offer training.
- Enroll in a pre-apprenticeship program like the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) through a secondary school; or
- Contact the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities Apprenticeship Branch through their Thunder Bay, Ontario office at (807) 346-1550.
People who want to become apprentices usually apply directly to employers, unions or joint apprenticeship training committees for the trade they are interested in.
Apprenticeship Programs offered at Confederation College:
- Automotive Service Technician
- Cook
- Electrical Construction and Maintenance
- General Carpenter
- Instrumentation Co-op Diploma Apprenticeship
- Heavy Duty Equipment Technician
- Industrial Mechanic Millwright
- Roofer
- Truck and Coach Technician
- Welding

TORONTO (Reuters) - About 900 workers at Bombardier Inc's railcar production facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario, went on strike on Monday afternoon after contract talks hit an impasse over pension changes and benefit reductions.
The union, Unifor Local 1075, said its contract with Montreal-based plane and train maker Bombardier expired on May 31 and workers have been free to strike legally since June 10. No new talks are scheduled.
"We've rejected their last offer," Jerry Dias, president of Unifor, Canada's biggest private-sector union, said in an interview. "We have zero interest in that."
Bombardier's latest proposal would enroll new hires in a defined contribution pension plan instead of the current defined benefit plan, and workers who started after May 2010 would lose their post-retirement benefits, Dias said.
Union members at the Thunder Bay plant, which is in northwestern Ontario, held a three-day strike over similar pension issues in 2011 before Bombardier dropped the proposals.
"Bombardier Transportation is deeply disappointed that members of Unifor Local 1075 have made this decision to strike," said spokesman Marc Lefebvre, adding that the company felt it offered employees "a good contract proposal...that provides for well-paid jobs".
Lefebvre declined to provide details on how Bombardier would deal with the impact of the strike.
The Thunder Bay plant is currently working on multibillion-dollar contracts primarily for the Toronto area's transit system, including new subway and commuter-rail cars, and next-generation streetcars and light rail cars.
The union, which is concerned about production moving to Mexico, is also pressing Bombardier about the fate of some 300 plant jobs after a key rail program concludes next year.
"We can't even get straight answers from them about what they're going to be doing with the 300 people who may very well lose their jobs," Dias said.

Hundreds attend celebration in Colbert County to honor coon dogs
COLBERT COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) – Hundreds of people descended into the backwoods of Colbert County Monday for a very unique Labor Day celebration.
They were honoring man's best friend at the only coon dog cemetery in the world.
"Ranger," "Bear," "Queen" and "Boone" are just a few of the dozens of coon dogs buried at the Key Underwood Memorial Coon Dog Cemetery near Cherokee.
Created in September of 1937, the cemetery draws people from across the globe.
"They're from Sweden, Australia, Germany, it just blew my mind," stated Janice Williams, President of The Friends of the Coon Dog Cemetery Board.
Williams said her group is tasked with trying to preserve the history of the cemetery. She says for 77 years, hunters have brought their coon dogs here from across the country to be buried.
But there are some requirements if the dog is not a registered champion.
"If they are not registered we need four letters certifying that the dog has treed a coon by itself and a couple of photos of the coon dog," Williams explained.
She said four years ago, a new tradition started with the laying of pennies on the headstones.
"For this particular cemetery, it means you are leaving a part of yourself here at the cemetery and it is for good luck."
So each year, folks come from all over to honor the hunters buried here and remember the legacy they leave behind.
The latest burial in the coon dog cemetery was this past June. Cemetery directors said two more burials are already being lined up and the dogs are being verified right now.

and More...
Love Reign O'er Me
(Pete's theme) Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea.
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers'
Laying in the fields.
Love, Reign o'er me.
Love, Reign o'er me, rain on me.
Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky.
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high.
Love Reign O'er me.
On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain.
The nights are hot and black as ink
I can't sleep and I lay and I think
Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain.

Inequality – my thesaurus offers eight synonyms of the word. Four simply describe it, while four signal negative feelings and perceptions; discrimination, unfairness, inequity, disproportion. None express inequality as a material or monetary difference, yet these popular definitions are core to the current use of the concept – as offering an explanation for all the problems of the dominant neoliberal paradigm.
As I am writing this, with the radio on, Christian Porter, the cabinet minister in charge of welfare, is announcing the local government area of Canterbury-Bankstown in New South Wales as the first site for his welfare recipient drug trial. This is the latest foray into increasingly conservative, paternalistic changes to our welfare system, already one of the meanest in the OECD.
A small card dangles from sticky tape on her front door, on which her name is scrawled in swift cursive: Eva Cox. Inside the house, tacked to one of the bookshelves that line the narrow hallway, is a fabric poster. In bright red lettering it reads: FEMMO – STIRRING THE PENIS POT.

In the lead-up to the budget, the story of crisis has been hammered home, but there's more to a country than its structural deficit. So how is Australia doing overall? In this special series, ten writers to take a broader look at the State of Australia; our health, wealth, education, culture, environment, well-being and international standing.
One of the bizarre bipartisan policy overlaps between the Coalition and Labor is in the area of income support known as welfare payments. Labor has been seen as the party that cared about the poor and disadvantaged, but the former ALP government adopted and extended a range of the Howard government's paternalistic and punitive measures.
Labor leadership contenders Bill Shorten and Anthony Albanese had the evidence proving their cuts to Newstart were unfair. Their support for increasing parental support now is cold comfort.
The belated acknowledgement by the two Labor leadership contenders that cutting single-parent payments had been a mistake is sad — they should have fixed it a few months ago while they still had the power.
Punitive controls over welfare and cuts to payments have featured during Labor's time in office, because they agree with Abbott - poverty is caused by dysfunction, not exclusion.
There's no doubt that last week's stoush between Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott over sexism and misogyny was extraordinary.
It seems the Coalition will expand the compulsory income management scheme, which has little evidence backing up its worth.
For a brief moment, it looked as though the Coalition would be better than the ALP on welfare policy. It appeared that the new government would listen to evidence for policy changes in its newly retitled Social Services portfolio.

Sometimes arriving late can be a good thing. My plan was to photograph in the opposite direction, but the sun was already ruining the scene. With the sun peering through the trees and light shining across the river my plans changed.

Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation surgery has now reached its 6th decade since its infancy in the 1960s. During this time, remarkable advances have been made in both surgical technique and in the safety and sophistication of implants. What hasn't changed, however, is that an expert surgeon is needed to achieve a great result.
Dr Frank Lin is a Melbourne-based specialist plastic surgeon with sub-specialty interest and training in breast surgery, breast augmentation and breast implants, especially for Asian patients
Dr Lin has trained with some of the world's foremost experts in breast surgery, including in the use of endoscopic techniques for breast augmentation. At our Melbourne clinic, we are committed to taking the time to help you understand the pros and cons of breast augmentation surgery, and to help you achieve the best possible result.
Dr Lin's experience and training make him uniquely qualified to produce great results for Asian patients wishing to undergo breast augmentation.
What are some important considerations in breast augmentation?
During your consultation, Dr Lin will discuss with you what must be considered before undergoing breast augmentation, including:
- The shape, size and texture of the breast implants
- The method of insertion (open or endoscopic)
- The plane of insertion
- What is involved in the surgery
- The likely recovery process
- The potential problems with the surgery
What type of breast implant would suit me?
What is the best incision for breast implant?
Am I suitable for a minimally invasive, or endoscopic, approach?
For patients who may be at higher risk of keloid scarring, such as Asian patients, this is the preferred technique.
In this operation, the incision is placed at the apex (the highest point) of the axilla. A tunnel is created and an endoscope (fibre-optic telescope) is inserted. The space (or pocket) for the implant is created under crystal clear fibre-optic vision which is displayed on a HD monitor. This ensures a clear, accurate and safe dissection which is not possible with traditional axillary implant techniques.
This is a far more technically demanding operation compared to the infra-mammary fold approach, and often takes much longer to master. It is for this reason that Dr Lin has travelled extensively abroad to learn from the pioneers of this technique, which is far more popular in Asia than in Australia.
What is the best plane for breast implant insertion?
What is involved in breast augmentation surgery?
- The operation is performed under general anaesthetic at an accredited private hospital.
- Operation time is typically 2 hours.
- During the operation your safety is our main priority. We would routinely use antibiotics to prevent infection and blood thinning medications to prevent clots (DVT).
- Occasionally, drain tubes may be used at the end of the operation.
- For an infra-mammary approach, you will have short scars in the natural fold under the breast.
- For an endoscopic axillary (armpit) approach, you will have small scars in the natural skin creases in the armpit.
What is the recovery after breast augmentation surgery?
- For your comfort and safety, we generally recommend an overnight stay in hospital. Occasionally, patients may be able to be discharged the same day.
- Most women have some discomfort for a few days. This varies depending on the specific type of operation performed. You will be prescribed appropriate medications to keep you comfortable during this period.
- We recommend a supportive garment, such as a crop top, for both comfort and support.
- Most women should plan for 1-2 weeks off work and 4-6 weeks of avoiding contact sports or heavy lifting.
- A regular schedule of post-operative consultations will be provided by Dr Lin and his staff. This includes regular scheduled review appointments with the practice nurse as well as Dr Lin.
- You will also be seen by the practice dermal therapist, who will assist with management of the surgical scars and with LED light therapy.
*Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Pop TV Will Drop Days of Our Lives Same-Day Repeats
Last night, Pop TV ran a banner during it's DAYS airing that the soap will no longer air on the network. However, there's no word yet on when these re-runs cease. As of now, DAYS is still listed on Pop TV's schedule for both this week and next week, according to the network's website.
Days of Our Lives 4-13-16 Full Episode 13th April 2016
DAYS currently airs at 8 pm on Pop, just after "The Young and the Restless." It's an ideal time for many working fans to sit down and catch the antic of Hope (Kristian Alfonso), Rafe (Galen Gering), Abby (Kate Mansi), Chad (Billy Flynn), and the rest after dinner. However, the network reminded viewers you can still catch the show on NBC and the NBC app.
Fans were thrilled last August when Pop TV started airing the same-day reruns, as this option had been missing since the demise of the Disney-owned SoapNet, which ran on cable from 2000-2013.

We're nothing if not adventurous at the Guardian. That's why we're here at the British Music Embassy showcase watching British band Brother play a form of British music that was popular about 15 years ago. In Britain. If there are any pie'n'mash shops or morris dancing classes in Austin, do let us know.
So Brother, then – four lads from Slough who think their Oasis-inspired boasts, Oasis-inspired music and, er, Oasis-inspired swagger mark them out as the future of music. Austin's Latitude 30 doesn't entirely disagree with this – they're not beating them away at the door but the venue is modestly full.
"You made the right decision," singer Lee Newell tells us as his band – complete with Rowetta-style "soul" voice – crank up the volume and run through Still Here, Darling Buds Of May and New Years Day. Each track is interspersed with some mild laddy "banter" but it fails to catch fire. "I had a Newcastle Brown Ale the other day that was better than the ones I've had in Newcastle" is a quote that ensures Austin's stand up comedy community can sleep easily tonight.
"We're from a beautiful place. It's called Slough," says Newell at one point, before explaining: "That's irony. How about that?" Whereas on paper the temptation is to hate Brother, in person the sneaking suspicion is that these lads might just be a little bit too nice for all this "tonight, I'm a rock'n'roll star" behaviour.
Musically speaking, Brother may aim to emulate the Gallaghers but the tunes sound - to these ears - more like Mansun (strictly melodically speaking of course - there are no 70 minute prog operas about Dr Who, gender identity and cancer here). But then nobody at SXSW is here expecting to catch the next developments in Witch House. They're here to listen to loud'n'lumpen British rock with some anthemic shout-along bits thrown in. Within that rather limited context, it would be hard to argue that Brother had failed to deliver.

The following post was written by Mark Jones, Children's Pastor at Quail Springs Baptist Church in Oklahoma City. Mark is a nationally recognized speaker and host of Mr. Mark's Classroom.
I wasn't sure there could ever be a better theme than an Amusement Park coupled with biblical content about facing fear and trusting God. That was a homerun! But then the call came last April. I was invited to write the Decorating Made Easy Book for Agency D3. When the theme was described to me, I got so excited for all the boys in my children's ministry. Girls like everything, but boys are picky. Let me say, this theme will be a hit for both. Here are seven reasons I'm looking forward to seeing you at the VBS preview.
1. The theme has a much different appearance than before. The locations are all "inside" headquarters and I have ideas for making it look amazing and I think they will surprise you.
2. Boxes, silver spray paint, mailing tubes and aluminum foil are your friends! I'll show you simple assembly steps to create the props.
3. Go and buy the clear shower curtain with the world map from Bed Bath and Beyond or www.target.com with left over money in your budget this year. (Ha Ha- If you have some.)
4. I have created a silver case Investigation Kit that will only be seen at the event. I am using this to enlist workers and give Top Secret information to my Special Agents beginning in February.
5. I will share the mistakes and time wasting goofs so you can avoid wasting your time.
6. All these props are loaded and shipped and will be on display for you to touch, take pictures, and ask questions so when you get home you're more prepared for tackling the VBS decorations with ease.
7. You will be inspired! Starting now is the best choice. Hearing others' ideas and taking pictures will make the work this spring so much easier.
I believe the most benefit you will receive is when you travel with your team of VBS friends. The relationships grow deeper and the enthusiasm builds and your team can come up with more and better ideas than just struggling on your own. Load everyone on the VBS party van and meet me at the VBS preview! We are going to have a great time! It will be a hoot!
I will unveil more ideas and photos at www.mrmarksclassroom.com the last week of January. Come see me!

Vitamin D was discovered in 1920, culminating the long search for a way to cure rickets, a painful childhood bone disease. Within a decade, the fortification of foods with vitamin D was under way, and rickets became rare in the United States. But solving the problem of rickets was only the beginning of research into vitamin D. Results suggest that vitamin D may have an important role in many aspects of human health, from bone fractures to prostate cancer, cardiovascular disease, neuromuscular problems, and diabetes.
Breaking the old rules
Vitamin D is one of the 13 vitamins discovered in the early 20th century by doctors studying nutritional deficiency diseases. Ever since, scientists have defined vitamins as organic (carbon-containing) chemicals that must be obtained from dietary sources because they are not produced by the body's tissues. Vitamins play a crucial role in our body's metabolism, but only tiny amounts are needed to fill that role.
Although vitamin D is firmly enshrined as one of the four fat-soluble vitamins, it is not technically a vitamin. True, it's essential for health, and only minuscule amounts are required. But it breaks the other rules for vitamins because it's produced in the human body, it's absent from all natural foods except fish and egg yolks, and even when it's obtained from foods, it must be transformed by the body before it can do any good.
As our habits change, most of us cannot rely on our bodies to produce vitamin D the old-fashioned way. Instead, we increasingly depend on artificially fortified foods and pills to provide this vital nutrient. Coming full circle in the modern world, this substance may actually come to fit the technical definition of a vitamin.
What is vitamin D?
Vitamin D is not one chemical but many. The natural type is produced in the skin from a universally present form of cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol. Sunlight is the key: Its ultraviolet B (UVB) energy converts the precursor to vitamin D3. In contrast, most dietary supplements are manufactured by exposing a plant sterol to ultraviolet energy, thus producing vitamin D2. Because their function is almost identical, D2 and D3 are lumped together under the name vitamin D "" but neither will function until the body works its magic (see figure).
How your body makes vitamin D
The sun's energy turns a chemical in your skin into vitamin D3, which is carried to your liver and then your kidneys to transform it to active vitamin D.
The first stop is in the liver, where vitamin D picks up extra oxygen and hydrogen molecules to become 25-hydroxyvitamin D, or 25(OH)D. This is the chemical that doctors should measure to diagnose vitamin D deficiencies. But although 25(OH)D is used for diagnosis, it can't function until it travels to the kidney. There it acquires a final pair of oxygen and hydrogen molecules to become 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D; scientists know this active form of the vitamin as 1,25(OH)2D, or calcitriol, but for ordinary folks the name vitamin D is accurate enough.
How it works
Vitamin D's best-known role is to keep bones healthy by increasing the intestinal absorption of calcium. Without enough vitamin D, the body can only absorb 10% to 15% of dietary calcium, but 30% to 40% absorption is the rule when vitamin reserves are normal. A lack of vitamin D in children causes rickets; in adults, it causes osteomalacia. Both bone diseases are now rare in the United States, but another is on the rise "" osteoporosis, the "thin bone" disease that leads to fractures and spinal deformities.
Low levels of vitamin D lead to low bone calcium stores, increasing the risk of fractures. If vitamin D did nothing more than protect bones, it would still be essential. But researchers have begun to accumulate evidence that it may do much more. In fact, many of the body's tissues contain vitamin D receptors, proteins that bind to vitamin D. In the intestines, the receptors capture vitamin D, enabling efficient calcium absorption. But similar receptors are also present in many other organs, from the prostate to the heart, blood vessels, muscles, and endocrine glands. And work in progress suggests that good things happen when vitamin D binds to these receptors. The main requirement is to have enough vitamin D "" but many Americans don't.
Vitamin D deficiencies
Vitamin D deficiencies were rare when most men rolled up their sleeves to work in sunny fields. But as work shifted from farms to offices, that changed. Because pigmentation can reduce vitamin D production in the skin by over 90%, nonwhite populations are at particular risk. Deficiencies are also common in patients with intestinal disorders that limit absorption of fat and those with kidney or liver diseases that reduce the conversion of vitamin D to its active form, calcitriol (1,25(OH)2D). In addition, certain medications reduce the availability or activity of vitamin D. And even in healthy people, advancing age is linked to an increased risk of vitamin D deficiency.
A number of factors can play a role. Limited exposure to sunlight heads the list. Except during the short summer months, people who live at latitudes above 37 degrees north or below 37 degrees south of the equator don't get enough UVB energy from the sun to make all the vitamin D they need. The same is true for people who spend most of their time indoors and for those of us who avoid sunshine and use sunscreens to protect our skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation (see box below). It's an example of an unforeseen consequence of wise behavior, but you can enjoy sun protection and strong bones, too, by taking vitamin supplements.
Like politicians, doctors often have to compromise; when it comes to sunshine, most pols promise blue skies, while most docs turn out to be the shady guys "" or, at least, sunscreen advocates.
Sunlight contains two forms of radiant energy, ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB). UVB provides the energy your skin needs to make vitamin D, but that energy can burn the skin and increase the cell damage that leads to cancer. UVA also contributes to skin damage and premature aging.
To protect yourself, avoid the summer sunshine, especially between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Whenever possible, wear a large-brimmed hat and a tightly woven, dark-colored long-sleeve shirt and long pants when you go out in the sun.
But summer garb is usually lightweight and exposes a lot of skin. That's where a sunscreen comes in. Look for a product with an SPF of at least 15; fair-skinned people would be wise to shoot for 30 or higher. But since SPFs apply only to UVB, look for a "broad spectrum" sunscreen that also protects against UVA; most contain titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, or avobenzone (also known as Parsol 1789). Above all, apply your sunscreen early, often, and liberally.
These many factors explain why vitamin D deficiencies are shockingly common in the United States. Although standards vary, most experts agree that levels of 25(OH)D below 20 ng/ml (nanograms per milliliter) reflect clear-cut vitamin D inadequacy, while levels between 20 and 30 ng/ml are borderline. Using similar criteria, American researchers have reported deficiencies in 42% of African American women aged 15 to 49, in 41% of non-hospitalized patients aged 49 to 83, and in up to 57% of hospitalized patients. And low levels of vitamin D are common even in apparently healthy young adults; in one study, more than a third of people between the ages of 18 and 29 were deficient.
Numbers can never tell the whole story, but in this case, "D-ficiencies" add up to a wide range of health concerns.
Osteoporosis and fractures
It's a paradox: Skeletal health is the best-known contribution of vitamin D, but it has also become the most controversial. Although doctors agree that vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of osteoporosis and fractures, they disagree about the benefits and optimal dosage of supplements.
Without enough vitamin D, the intestines cannot efficiently absorb calcium. But because blood calcium is critical for neuromuscular and cardiac function, the body does not allow levels to fall. Instead, it pours out parathyroid hormone, which mobilizes calcium from bone. Blood calcium levels remain normal, so your heart and nerves keep working nicely. But your bones bear the brunt: As bone calcium density falls, bones become weak and fracture-prone.
Most studies show that a lack of vitamin D increases the risk of osteoporosis and the likelihood of hip and other nonspinal fractures. But there is considerable disagreement about how much supplements reduce the risk of fractures. Some studies include only women, others both men and women; some include only frail, elderly, or institutionalized subjects, others physically active people; some use vitamin D alone, others a combination of D and varying doses of calcium; and some administer 400 international units (IU) of vitamin D a day, others up to 800 IU a day. Despite this great variability, a major 2005 meta-analysis of 12 randomized clinical trials concluded that daily vitamin D supplements of 700""800 IU could reduce the risk of hip fractures by 26% and of other nonspinal fractures by 23%. In contrast, supplements of 400 IU a day, the conventional dose, had no benefit.
Most authorities agree that high doses of vitamin D supplements appear to protect against fractures and low doses do not. But two trials that found no benefit from 800 IU a day were completed after the 2005 meta-analysis, ensuring that the proper dose will remain a bone of contention.
Prostate cancer
Some men mistakenly dismiss osteoporosis as a women's worry, but none fail to recognize the importance of prostate cancer.
Vitamin D has an important role in regulating cell growth. Laboratory experiments suggest that it helps prevent the unrestrained cell multiplication that characterizes cancer by reducing cell division, restricting tumor blood supply (angiogenesis), increasing the death of cancer cells (apoptosis), and limiting the spread of cancer cells (metastasis). Like many human tissues, the prostate has an abundant supply of vitamin D receptors. And, like some other tissues, it also contains enzymes that convert biologically inactive 25(OH)D into the active form of the vitamin, 1,25(OH)2D. These enzymes are much more active in normal prostate cells than in prostate cancer cells.
Do the results from these experiments translate into clinically important effects? Possibly. Several lines of evidence are relevant.
First, the calcium connection. In 1998, Harvard's Health Professionals Follow-up Study of 47,781 men reported that a high consumption of calcium, either from food or supplements, was associated with an increased risk of advanced prostate cancer; the risk was greatest in men taking more than 2,000 mg of calcium a day. Since then, other studies have confirmed a link between very high levels of dietary calcium and increased risk, but they have exonerated modest calcium consumption. The Harvard scientists speculate that the problem is not calcium itself but a relative lack of active vitamin D. That's because high levels of calcium can reduce the body's production of the active form of the vitamin.
Second, the sunlight connection. Prostate cancer is more common in North America and northern Europe than in the sunnier climates of Asia, Central America, or Africa. In the United States, the disease is more prevalent in African Americans than Caucasian Americans.
Of course, sunlight is just one of the many differences between these groups of men, and various genetic, dietary, lifestyle, and health care disparities could account for the prostate cancer gap. Indeed, early studies failed to demonstrate a clear association between blood levels of 25(OH)D and prostate cancer. But in 2005, a 13-year Harvard study of 2,399 men reported that those with high blood levels of both forms of vitamin D "" 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D "" enjoyed a 45% lower risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer than those with below-average levels. And certain genetic variations in the vitamin D receptor appeared to enhance the protective effect of the vitamin.
Can vitamin D reduce your risk of prostate cancer? It's too early to say "" but it's a possibility that requires additional study.
Other malignancies
The risk of colon cancer, breast cancer, and other malignancies appears to rise in populations at latitudes far from the equator. Sun exposure and vitamin D levels may be part of the explanation. As in the case of prostate cancer, the details vary from study to study. Still, a 2006 review concluded that the overall pattern suggests benefit, especially for colon cancer. A 2006 Harvard study of men calculated that a 10 ng/ml increase in blood levels of 25(OH)D might be linked to a 17% reduction in the risk of developing cancer and a 29% lower chance of dying from the disease. And even more recent research suggests that vitamin D may have a role in reducing the risk of cancer of the pancreas and kidney.
It's more reason to be hopeful about vitamin D "" and more reason to call for additional research. Observational studies and sophisticated calculations are important, but they can be overturned by the results of randomized clinical trials. Indeed, in 2006 a major seven-year trial of 400 IU of vitamin D and 1,000 mg of calcium a day found no protection against colon cancer in women.
Dashed hopes for beta carotene and vitamin E also remind us that caution and patience are the watchwords for supplements "" and the conflicting results from randomized trials examining the relationship between vitamin D and fractures remind us that even clinical trials can pose therapeutic "D-lemmas."
Other diseases
Vitamin D may also have potential benefits in conditions other than osteoporosis and cancer; although they remain speculative, they deserve a look.
Neuromuscular function. Osteoporosis increases the risk of fractures. Falling also breaks bones, and vitamin D can help with both brittle bones and falls. A 2004 meta-analysis of five randomized clinical trials concluded that vitamin D supplements reduce the risk of falling by 22%; most of the participants were women. A 2006 study reported that a daily dose of 700 IU produced a 46% reduction in falls in women but no protection for men. The benefit was greatest in older, less active women; the possible gender difference may be explained by differences in physical activity, muscle size, or diet. Since vitamin D binds to receptors in muscles, the improvements in strength and balance may account for the benefit.
Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to persistent and otherwise unexplained muscle and bone pain, and some patients have been helped by supplements. Several observational studies have linked a high consumption of vitamin D with a reduced risk of multiple sclerosis.
Cardiovascular disease. Vitamin D may play an important role in vascular health. Osteoporosis is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease, and low blood levels of vitamin D have been linked to increased coronary artery calcification. Although animal studies suggest that vitamin D has a role in regulating blood pressure, a 2005 Harvard analysis found no link between the consumption of vitamin D and human hypertension. Still, low levels of the vitamin appear related to an increased risk of stroke and congestive heart failure; and a study found that supplements reduce inflammation in patients with congestive heart failure.
Other disorders. Although experiments show that vitamin D can protect animals from diabetes, human studies are less convincing. A study of 83,779 women did not find an overall protective role, but it did suggest that high doses of vitamin D (more than 800 IU a day) and calcium (more than 1,200 mg a day) might reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by 33%.
Using data from the Framingham Heart Study, researchers found that high levels of vitamin D were associated with a reduced risk of arthritis of the knee. High levels have also been linked to better lung function, a stronger immune system, and an enhanced ability to fight off certain infections, such as tuberculosis. All these potential benefits require additional study, but vitamin D ointments have already been approved to treat psoriasis.
"D" right amount
Until 1997, the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin D was 200 IU for all adults. Faced with growing evidence of vitamin D deficiencies in Americans, the RDA for 51- to 70-year-olds was increased to 400 IU, and to 600 IU for people older than 70.
Is more better? New research suggests that it is, and many authorities are recommending 800 or even 1,000 IU a day. Remember, though, that you can get too much of a good thing. Like the other fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin D is stored in the body's adipose (fat) tissue. That means your body can mobilize its own reserves if your daily intake falters temporarily "" but it also means that excessive doses of vitamin D can build up to toxic levels. At those extremes, vitamin D can raise blood calcium to levels that can cause grogginess, constipation, and even death. But it takes massive overdosing to produce toxicity, and doses up to 2,000 IU a day are considered safe.
Delivering D
You can make your vitamin D the old-fashioned way, by exposing your skin to UVB radiation in sunlight. It doesn't take much, but people living north of the 37-degree-latitude line "" roughly the imaginary line between Philadelphia and San Francisco "" can't get enough UVB in winter to do the trick. And many others will find it all too easy to overdose on UVB, increasing their risk of malignant melanomas and other skin cancers, as well as wrinkles and premature skin aging. All in all, most doctors recommend avoiding sunlight (see box) and getting vitamin D by mouth.
Diet can help, but it's very hard to approach the new goals with food alone. Fish and shellfish provide natural vitamin D (oily fish are best), but you'll have to eat about 5 ounces of salmon, 7 ounces of halibut, 30 ounces of cod, or nearly two 8-ounce cans of tuna to get just 400 IU. An egg yolk will provide about 20 IU, but since it also contains nearly a day's quota of cholesterol, you can't very well use eggs to fill your tank with D. Other foods have even less D, which is why manufacturers fortify milk, some yogurt, some orange juice, and many cereals with vitamin D. In general, a serving will provide about 100 IU; that means drinking a quart of fortified milk to get 400 IU.
Most people require supplements to get the vitamin D they need. It's the main benefit of a daily multivitamin; most provide 400 IU. Remember to read the labels carefully so you won't get too little or too much. And although cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D, it has too much vitamin A for regular use.
New light on the sunshine vitamin
It used to be simple: just get a "healthy" tan and your body will make all the vitamin D it needs. Desk jobs and sunscreen have changed all that, just as research is underlining the importance of vitamin D and suggesting its possible role in preventing many health problems. That makes vitamin D a dilemma of modern life that has a modern solution: eating fish and drinking some low-fat fortified milk, along with judicious doses of vitamin D supplements.

Public Policy and Administration
Mark Gordon
During disaster operations in Ghana in 2015, as a result of flood and fire, there was evidence of poor coordination between the workers and victims of the NGO, as well as inappropriate use of funds, which consequently caused compounding problems for disaster victims especially the outbreak of diseases. Little, however, is known about what conditions precipitated these events that may have delayed humanitarian, non-governmental organizations' (NGOs) ability to engage in disaster relief to victims. Using Freeman's stakeholder theory as the foundation, the purpose of this case study of the 2015 fire/flood disaster in Ghana was to understand from the perspective NGOs what events and conditions may have contributed to lack of coordination and inefficient practices. Data were collected from 13 executive directors, employees, and volunteers of the NGO through personal interviews. Interview data were deductively coded and subjected to a thematic analysis procedure. Findings revealed that participants perceived that the NGO provided financial accountability to donors, but not to disaster victims, nor were victims involved in the NGO's operations. The study's findings have implications for how future researchers in related disasters may approach studies in disaster management by including the perspectives of both NGO and victims in humanitarian aid operations. Implications for social change include recommendations to NGO management to develop and engage in accountability practices to ensure financial accountability to all stakeholders as well as active involvement of the disaster victims.

Terror police in Turkey have arrested an Islamic State militant suspected of plotting to blow himself up outside the US consulate in Istanbul.
The terror suspect, who is thought to be a member of the extremist group ISIS, was described as of Syrian origin.
Police identified him as Muhammed Raghil Al Hardani, aged in his late 20s or early 30s.
He was detained "in the past few days" at a bus station in the city of Kahramanmaras, close to the border with Syria.
Authorities traced the man to Samsun, a city in northern Turkey, and he was detained at a bus station in Kahramanmaras on his way to Gaziantep province, which borders Syria.
The US embassy building in the Turkish capital Ankara also went into lockdown today, providing only "limited operations" because of an unspecified security alert.
Last week, the US consulate cancelled its services for a day amid concerns about a possible terror threat.
Turkey was rocked by two suicide bombings - blamed on a Turkish ISIS cell - near a town on the Syrian border in July and in Ankara in October. More than 130 people were killed in those attacks.

Today's Expositor's Quote is from John Stott's The Cross of Christ." Referring to Galatians 3:1-3 he writes:
There is much to learn from this text about the preaching of the gospel.
First, gospel-preaching is proclaiming the cross. True, the resurrection must be added (1:1; 2:19-20). So must Jesus' birth of a woman, and under the law (4:4). But the gospel is in essence the good news of Christ crucified.
Secondly, gospel-preaching is proclaiming the cross visually. Paul uses a remarkable verb, >prographo<. . . . >Grapho< can sometimes mean to draw or paint, rather than to write, and >pro< can mean 'before' in space (before our eyes) rather than in time (previously). So Paul here likens his gospel-preaching either to a huge canvas painting or to a placard publicly exhibiting a notice or advertisement. The subject of his painting or placard was Jesus Christ on the cross. Of course it was not literally a painting; the picture was created by words. Yet it was so visual, so vivid, in its appeal to their imagination, that the placard was presented 'before your very eyes.' One of the greatest arts or gifts in gospel-preaching is to turn people's ears into eyes, and to make them see what we are talking about.
Thirdly, gospel-preaching proclaims the cross visually as a present reality. Jesus Christ had been crucified at least fifteen years before Paul was writing, and in our case nearly two millennia ago. What Paul did by his preaching (and we must do by ours) was to bring that event out of the past into the present. The ministry of both word and sacrament can do this. It can overcome the time-barrier and make past events present realities in such a way that people have to respond to them. Almost certainly none of Paul's readers had been present at the crucifixion of Jesus; yet Paul's preaching brought it before their eyes so that they could see it, and into their existential experience so that they must either accept or reject it.
Fourthly, gospel-preaching proclaims the cross as a visual, present and permanent reality. . . . The tense of the verb emphasizes not so much that the cross was a historical event of the past as that its validity, power and benefits are permanent. The cross will never cease to be God's power for salvation to believers.
Fifthly, gospel-preaching proclaims the cross also as the object of personal faith. Paul did not placard Christ crucified before their eyes so that they might simply gape and stare. His purpose was to persuade them to come and put their trust in him as their crucified Saviour. And this is what they had done.
John Stott, "The Pervasive Influence of the Cross," the concluding chapter in The Cross of Christ (InterVarsity Press, 1986), p. 343-44.
[Oh, may our listeners over the next several days see what we proclaim! May they see the love, the sacrifice, and the power of the cross -- and trust in the One who died for them. Preach the cross! -- Coty]

* TIP- I have a notepad document with the file locations I need to go to install all Extras. I have it saved in the "Extras" folder. Then when I get a new extra I can copy and paste the location into the Run box on my computer. And it will take me right where I need to go, I right-click the new extra then copy and past it right into the proper location within PhotoShop. This has saved me a lot of time looking and trying to remember where to go to install extras. (Look in the "Locations of Extras" box bellow to see the location paths of my extras. This will be helpful if you are trying to find location paths and you use PSE6 and have the same operating system as I do. If you use something else it will not help you.)
* I think that covers it. If you have any questions leave me a comment and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I use a PC with Windows XP and I use Adobe PhotoShop Elements 6. I might not be of any help if you are using different programs but I will offer whatever info I can.
* Have fun scrapping!!
