To conclude this article, which can have on permanently, allow us focus on step 1 initial. Make peace and forgive each other. I would not suggest you to have on with the divorce unless of course you have conquer the first step successfully.A good sign that your prospective lawyer understands what he is doing is by the way he talks and thinks. A divorce is not a easy process. It entails many factors that border on the sensitive and the private, all the much more reason for you to pick one who is particularly an professional when it comes to a difficult divorce. You wouldn't want to be represented in court by somebody who is as clueless as you are in these issues. Right here, the level of real encounter a lawyer has will play a large role on your achievement.It is of utmost importance that you do the right things that will help to quit free Divorce cheap. Many individuals believe they know what to do, when they in reality just adhere to their feelings. This is the biggest mistakes as human feelings have a tendency to hinder good decision creating. In fact they have a inclination to make the situation worse.If you want out of a bad relationship, you deserve out. But not so that it indicates you lose every thing and invest thousands doing so. Ladies - keep in mind this: you will have a harder time getting an lawyer than your partner does. Most attorneys know that most ladies don't manage the family members finances. That's a red flag which means they will have to movement the court for attorney fees with no assure they'll get it. This is the kind of info you need to know to start planning your divorce.To avoid the courtroom, think about a cooperative divorce. This type of divorce will permit for every person to condition their aspect of issues as nicely as reach amicable choices about funds, assets and most importantly, about your kids. You're relationship may be over, but you can finish on pleasant terms and make the changeover easier for everyone if the pair of you concur to be civil and respectful of one another and remain out of courtroom.One option is litigation. You and your spouse employ your personal attorney to signify you and negotiate on your behalf. And the second option is mediation. The two of you sit down with a neutral mediator, who assists you communicate, create options, and reach an arrangement on everything that needs to go into your divorce decree. In general, Hawaii Family courts favor mediation over litigation because it is cheaper and less demanding for you, your partner, and your kids.You don't have to employ a divorce attorney, but here's why you should. There's a great deal of work that goes into dealing with a divorce case. You have to put together all the paperwork, routine your court dates, show up in court, and manage all of the every day details of your case. You most likely don't have the time or the experience to do this on your own.An free Divorce cheap costs an typical of $400. If you have an uncontested case and still selected to file for divorce conventionally, you could finish up paying at the very least $1000. Every thing is thoroughly clean, good, and settled - why employ an expensive attorney when you don't require to?To that finish, it's so essential to understand how your letter is heading to be perceived. Probably the biggest error that I see individuals make is that they focus on themselves in the letter (instead than on their partner.) They location most of their attention to their personal feelings and their own fears. Illustrations are phrases like "I don't know what I would do if I lost you." Or, "my heart is breaking and I pray that we can function this out." It's Okay to sprinkle some of these phrases in the letter, but be very cautious that the entire tone of the letter isn't one of negativity and worry.It's a sad reality but the quantity of couples resorting to divorce has skyrocketed since its legalization in the United States in the late 1900's. Divorce is an essential time not only for the separating few but for all the members of the family members. Some individuals vacation resort to divorce as an easy way out of their marital issues while some see it as their only escape to an abusive and damaging relationship.Here is a quick suggestion to know whether the divorce lawyer is right for your case or not - he or she should welcome each question of yours and solution willingly. If this does not happen, then it's time to appear for an additional attorney.Prone to errors- Incomplete documents or wrong documents and improperly drawn contracts you are putting yourself at danger for these when you apply online. This is partly due to the popularity of free Divorce cheap. It has become a very lucrative business and many people see this opportunity and they have decided to be a part of the bandwagon, thus the influx of websites that are doubtful and completely without credit.But as I attempted to hurry or pressure my husband, it grew to become very obvious that all this was performing was making him angry and contributing to him distancing himself from me. So I determined that it was better to keep waiting (even although this was definitely no fun) than to push and encounter an immediate and definite divorce.

How You Can Benefit From Cranial Sacral Therapy
Cranial sacral therapy which is also known as craniosacral (CST)is the kind of therapy applied on the head bones to relieve some compression. The therapy is applied in, the smaller bone known as sacrum. The therapy uses gentle pressure on that (part of the head, neck, and back and relieves the stress on that part of the body. It helps that part of the body to release the stress caused by compression. With that the body can meet with a number of conditions. Through the gentle manipulation of the bones in the skull, spine and the pelvis, the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid in the central nervous system is normalized.
It is through the normalization of the stream if this fluid that the body can work well. That means there will be no blockage whatsoever that will stop the normal flow. The good thing is there are many people who can offer such services like the chiropractors, the physical therapists and the osteopaths. The best thing is that the process can either be for maintenance or treatment. It depends on what your situation is and the kind of results you are expecting.
You can benefit from this procedure in different ways. Now that it is applied used to relieve compression, it can help soothe the pain. Removing suffering from the body helps the body to recover from both emotional and physical stress. It also helps to remove pain affecting the neck, the spine and the head making mobility easy. The body will move more quickly because it is not having any pain and it will also be more relaxed. That is why when it is applied in the right way it is of much benefit to the body.
It is also a critical relieve from a headache as well as a migraine. the process is also capable of reducing the body from constipation. It can also be used to help the body to get rid of neck pains. The the process also helps people come out of injury. The most important thing is to get someone who can do in the right way.
Before you allow someone to carry out the therapy for you., you must ask about the kind of training they have.

Discussion in 'Recommended Reading' started by Blake Bowden, Feb 22, 2010.
Have you read the entire Bible?
yea, put it on the back of my toilet and read a few pages a day for a long while. after a while, was done with the old testament. was surprised how it seemed how fast the thing went.
I have enjoyed reading most of the other revisions of the bible as well as many other vsls.
A number of years ago, I tried to slog my way through the King James Version. The 400 year old English is pretty, but rather difficult for me to follow.
I did some research on later English translations, and chose for my Old Testament: The Jewish Study Bible.
Somewhat different from Christian Old Testaments, and containing copious footnotes. A real education for me.
For my New Testament reading, I chose the Holman Christian Standard Bible.
It took me over three months to make my way through, but I'm glad I persevered.
I have several times. I don't attempt the King James anymore, it gives me a headache with all the Thee's Thou's and thus's...I use the New International and the New American Standard Versions for my studies...
I have but I'm enjoying using an iPhone app called "bible" it allows me to flip between many different translations on the fly and allows me to set notations
I've been all over it. And, with the help of Cecil B. DeMille, Charlton Heston, Yul Brenner, Mel Brooks and others, I suspect I've covered 98 percent. Spend a lot of time in Sunday School in the old days. Have also delved into other sacred texts as well. My commit would be that yes, the King James version does appear to have fallen from favor. It's noticeable too. Candidates have a very hard time with the centex of the KJV: especially when you mix it with Texas SPEAK.
post script:
Thanks too to Disney and others for converting many of the Vedas to adventure stories along the way.
Blue Letter Bible has a great iPhone app as well. I have to say I still prefer the KJV but these days the giant print edition of it. LOL
Several versions. The NASB remains my fav.
I actually have an affinity for the King James. Probably because its what I grew up on. My favorite Bible is my 1611 Edition King James Version. The old language imparts a certain feeling of reverence to me.
The way I see it though, the best version of the Bible is the one you'll read.
Gentlemen, I suppose we are all aware that the KJV was edited by a brother mason. I think I'll throw a poll at you to test your skills.
For those seeking to have a "system" by which to tackle this hefty read, there are a number of "One Year" Bibles designed to take you through the book, cover to cover in 365 readings.
Above is the NASB version, but NIV, KJ, ESB, etc. are all available
I have never read the book from cover to cover, but I work much with biblical texts in my masonic books, and I surely have read all parts of the bible in parts. I usually use the Luther Version of 1984 or the catholic german standard bible, as our ritual contains several phrases taken from pseudo-apocryphics like Book of Wisdom or Jesus Sirach (Ecclesiasticus).
I have read it cover to cover many times. My grandfather was a preacher so it was a day-to-day part of my life growing up. I still have a love of the King James Version and use it most of the time but our Church has leaned toward the NIV. I use Bible Gateway on my iPhone and online. It has just about any version you could dream of in just about any language, and they also can include the Deuterocanonical (Apocrypha) books.
Yes I have 3 or 4 times.
I voted yes under the assumption you meant the current canon of the bible. I was a theology major in college and read many additional books that are not approved by one of the organized churches. Luther removed 7 books. The catholic church removed many more. Some theologians believe there are as many as 600 books belonging to the early bible. One of my favorites is Solomon's Book of Wisdom. I also enjoyed studying the 14 books of the Apocrypha.
I've read the bible cover to cover several times. I used to want to be a pastor, and spent much of my time reading the bible. The first few times I did it cover to cover, but tbh, you get bogged down in Genesis that way. several times i used the "bible in a year" type of programs, and more recently I've spent time with a parallel translation of the Torah in Hebrew and English. My goal is to eventually learn enough hebrew, greek, and latin to read as much of the bible from the early texts as possible.
I had an older friend back in Lake Charles (LA) who did the same. He eventually received a DD degree with a specialty in Greek, of all things. Of course, he was well versed in Hebrew and Latin as well. Anyway, his desire was to read the Bible in its purest form ... without all the hoopla and translation errors. Surprise, he said much had been twisted over the years, cultures, and translations. Most unintentional, but misinterpreted nevertheless.
Last I hear he was in charge of a non-demonational ministry for the poor in the Lake Charles area.
Anyway, he got there from here. If one struggles long enough, light will develop.
These are the guys who ruin opportunities to make lots of money for the rest of us selling differences as opposed to our agreed upon beliefs. To top it all off, these folks prove most of our spats are about misinterpretations anyway.
Go figure!
I have read the Bible many times in my quest for LIGHT, and for my studies in the ministry. I too have read many of the "lost" or left out books that did not make it into our modern book. With the study of these additional texts, the KJ, along with several other translations, one can have a much broader understanding of the purest Biblical meanings we should apply to our lives.
I highly suggest the Broadman Holeman Christian Standard Bible for those wishing to use a modern interpretation of the KJ bible.
May you all find Light in your daily journey...
Thanks Brother Bennett. I'll get one.

Introduction: How to Fry Up Crispy Egg Noodle Chips
The texture and crunch is very similar to Pita Chips, but these fried Egg Noodle chips are a little lighter.
You'll need:
- Large, Flat Egg Noodles
- Oil for frying
- Salt to taste
Boil the egg noodles in salted water until soft. Drain and rinse immediately with cold water so they don't stick together.
Lay the egg noodle strips on paper towels to dry.
Heat 1-2 inches of oil in a pan over high heat. When the top of the oil starts to shiver, it should be ready. Be sure to double check your noodles and use a paper towel to dab away any extra moisture.
Test a single noodle to make sure the oil is hot enough. At the right temperature, the noodle will drop to the bottom of the oil for 1-2 seconds, then pop to the top and dance like a good little frying egg noodle should! ;-)
Work in small batches of 6 or 7 strips at a time.
When one side looks golden, turn with your tongs and fry until the bubbling almost stops. All stovetops are different, so you might need to turn the heat down a little. I kept my gas burner on high the entire cooking time and it worked out great.
The final picture shows 3 fried Noodles. The noodle on the left is under-cooked and the noodle on the right is over-cooked. The noodle in the center is just right!
So now that you have a tasty substitute for Tortilla Chips... what are you going to serve them with? I know... how about a new and slightly unusual Nacho recipe?
OK! I'll whip one up and be back soon!!! Thanks for stopping by! ;-)
Here you go.... Swedish Nachos anyone? ;-p~

You did well.
Fried egg noodles? INGENIOUS! I'll have to try this one next chance I get!
lol cowscankill... twerent nuttin'.
And your username CRACKS ME UP... because it's so ridiculously TRUE! Cows can be MEAN!
Hubby was tagging a newborn Red Angus calf several years ago and the whole herd (GANG!) of mama cows went ballistic. He had the little mooer down when they rushed in. No doubt they would have trampled him if they had the chance. Good thing I had a big shovel handy to ward them off. It was a close call, though.
In hindsight, it was freaking hilarious!!!
oh... and thanks for your comment! ;-D
Anytime! Just made your breakfast nachos, and they are delicious!
These look exactly like the chips you get at Most Chinese Food Take out places, that go really well with duck sauce!
lol... you've given me another idea for Nachos! lol... Thanks... I think! ;-)
After thinking a bit, I started to wonder: What happens if you cook lasagna noodles and Fry them? Their Shaped like chips somewhat. Someone has to have had the same idea of frying pasta.
I almost tried that... let me know how it turns out!
These look very exquisite! Love the documentation, reminds me of my mom's cooking.
Here's a tip: Sesame Oil and a slight bit of Soy Sauce really brings out the flavor in these chips!
Thanks for sharing there Shift! You have given me an idea.
And we love inspiration!
And that we do!
That's a great tip SHIFT!
I've never deep-fried with sesame oil.
I wonder if there is a Sesame oil Spray manufactured by some company? It would be super easy to infuse these Chips with the Asian flavor as you describe.
I made an extra large batch and I've been snacking on them today. I've got a lot to experiment with! ;-)
We are going to be eating a lot of nachos because these recipes looks so good!

Hungarian military personnel will also be taking part in the defence of the southern Hungarian border. This is enabling the reallocation of various police units from the border.
Speaking on Hungarian M1 television's current affairs program, Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister Gyorgy Bakondi said: "Over the next three months a significant number of police units are required in the interior of the country because of the Maccabi European Games, the Formula 1 Grand Prix, and the peak tourist season at Lake Balaton". "At such times, the presence of police officers is highly important with relation to maintaining public order",he added.
With relation to the migration situation, Bakondi said: "There is an increase being seen along the Balkan migration route. This is also being felt at the Hungarian border, where some 4700 illegal immigrants were apprehended and accompanied back to the border during the first five months of the year". "The seven-hundred-person weekly average of the previous period doubled in May, and larger groups are now also attempting to cross the Hungarian border", he added.
"In addition, in view of the critical situation that has developed in the vicinity of the Croatian-Bosnian border, the attempted movements of people from there towards the Hungarian border must also be carefully monitored. We must be in a state of readiness to reinforce the Croatian border if necessary", the chief security advisor pointed out.

Indonesia awarded 11 blocks -- eight conventional and three shale gas blocks -- with major oil and gas companies Shell, Statoil and Petronas among the winners, Naryanto Wagimin, upstream director at the energy and mines ministry, said Wednesday.
The eight conventional blocks are among the 13 that were offered by the government last year. Wagimin said the other five blocks failed to attract investor interest.
"We will bid (another) 12 oil and gas blocks this year -- two conventional blocks and 10 shale gas blocks," Wagimin noted, Platts said in a report.
The winning companies have committed to spending $144.25 million to carry out exploration activities over three years in the 11 blocks, said acting oil and gas director general Gusti Nyoman Wiratmaja, adding the government will earn $12 million in signature bonuses.
This the first time Anglo-Dutch major Shell has entered the Indonesian upstream sector directly. The company until now has had a 30 percent working interest in the Inpex-operated Masela block.
"We see Indonesia as an interesting country to invest in -- either downstream or upstream," Shell Indonesia's spokesperson Sri Wahyu Endah told reporters.
Indonesia is making a concerted effort to ramp up exploration and development activity to address declining crude output at its aging fields. The country's crude oil output peaked at 1.6 million b/d in 1995 and has since fallen.
It hovers around 800,000 b/d today and is forced to rely on imports to meet its needs. Indonesia's proven reserves stand at 3.7 billion barrels of oil.

Leave it to the ever-prescient curator Joan Davidow to plan an exhibition at her Design District art space, Site131, that directly addresses gun violence.
She selected the artist, University of Texas at Dallas graduate student Clayton Harper, for the exhibition "Fear of Change: True Scenes and Flat Screens," well before the Parkland, Fla., school shooting last week.
Harper's four-screen video installation, Class Warfare, addresses the issues raised by that horrific event with bold clarity. Standing in front of it — with its plethora of guns in various visual contexts — forces a kind of reckoning very different from TV and newsfeed stories. Go see it.

The Appleseed Project, a group which holds events around the U.S. to teach people how to shoot like a rifleman, is coming to Gardnerville, a town not far from me. They're holding a three-day event and it's FREE for female shooters, so I registered. Here's a link to their website if you're interested: http://www.appleseedinfo.org/.
Appleseed is coming to town!
Now all I need is something to shoot while I am there!
They recommend a 10/22 for the first day and something that shoots longer distances for the second day. I've been looking around for .22's. Safe Shot Indoor Range has a pink Ruger 10/22 for sale. Cute! And Scheel's had a Savage 10/22 with scope and zippered padded bag for about the same price as the pink Ruger. Walmart is sold out of Ruger 10/22s, but has a Mossberg Plinkster for sale. The Plinkster gets great reviews online and is uber-cheap, only $107. Buying that would leave me some money left over for ammo!
I'm a bit nervous about going. I haven't had any formal shooting instruction. I've just been mooching guns, ammo and lessons off of my boyfriend, GB. I've only been to the range four times and only two of those times have I shot a gun that actually belonged to me ( I told you I was a mooch!)

I couldn't decide which meal I liked the best to show off first. The sandwich won just because I like the picture better. So above is a sandwich I've been thinking about a lot this past week. Why? Who the hell knows. I don't eat mushrooms too much. But for some reason I wanted a Grilled Portobello Sandwich. I marinated the bello's in some olive oil, fig balsamic vinegar, red pepper flakes, basil, chopped garlic, chopped onion, salt and pepper and a splash of tamari.
Tamari? You might ask. Well here's a story that might turn some vegan stomachs. When I worked at an organic restaurant the nutto german chef was against vegetarian food even though he had to have an entree or two on the menu. He would add a spash of tamari to everything vegetarian. I asked why one day. His answer (done in your best german accent) "too make it have the taste of blood." I was grossed out but also agreed with him..it does give it a "bloody" taste and not in a gross way at all...it just adds an extra layer to the flavors. Back to the sandwich...
...the bello's were eventually grilled on my grill pan..red peppers were roasting in the oven...a "stain" of whole grain mustard was spread on one layer of the ciabatta...on top of that fresh baby arugula was added with the above mention bello's and peppers...seasoned to perfection with freshly cracked salt and pepa! Served with a side of homemade sweet potato fries baked healthly in the oven.
Soba Noodles with Veg and Orange-Peanut Sauce...I really can't get enought of my new orange-peanut sauce..i would eat it as soup. This is one of those meals where all the ingredients can be either cold, warm or hot. It will taste good no matter what temp you serve it.
Peter and Riley decided they wanted to be on America's Next Top Model here is there best shot.

I think the sandwich is a winner too- it just jumps out at me and makes me want to lick my computer screen. The apple tech. guys told me not to do that any more! I can see what you mean about tamari/bloody. (Creepy about the German dude, though!) I always feel that pine nuts give a nice "eggy" flavor to things, I bet that would gross some vegans out too!
Love the Peter and Riley shot, btw. Very "fierce" as Tyra would say...

dori..i'm nuts about sweet potato fries as well recently..i can't get enough.
bazu..you are right pine nuts do give a sorta "eggy" flavor! i could never quite put my finger on that extra taste they give.

Sweet potato fries--mmmm... Orange-peanut sauce sounds interesting! I love recipes that are versatile like that.

I can't decide. I would have to dip the fries into the peanut sauce.

I love portabello sandwiches! I always thought tamari was for saltiness and a fermenty type flavor. Does blood taste fermenty?
Well, it sounds kind of gross but it's actually very tasty to put tamari in all kinds of things. I used to put a little in my spaghetti sauce, but I stopped that when I discoverd vegan bullions. Mmmmmmm.

Former Navy SEAL Headlines 2016 Cattle Industry Convention Second General Session
SAN DIEGO, CALIF. (January 29, 2016) – More than 3,000 attendees were enthralled at the second general session of the 2016 Cattle Industry Convention & NCBA Trade Show in San Diego, Calif., on Jan. 29 , where Rob O'Neill, a former SEAL, team leader and Naval senior chief petty officer, shared a riveting and inspiring message drawn on more than 400 combat missions across four theaters of war. O'Neill is a highly-decorated combat veteran who described through moving and emotional stories how the military's best-of-the-best approach to strategic planning can succeed where mission failure is not an option.
O'Neill told the audience that training, communication and repetition were key to successful missions, and that good planning can only take you so far. "Life is what happens around you while you're making the perfect plan," he said. "Just keep moving forward, and never quit."
According to NCBA President Philip Ellis, a Wyoming cattleman, Rob O'Neill's comments at the second general session provided a great exclamation point for the industry at this convention. "We're experiencing some volatile, unpredictable markets in the industry right now," he said, "and we must never quit."
In his opening comments at the session, NCBA President-Elect Tracy Brunner said that while there will always be challenges in the industry, we should feel secure in the knowledge that the industry is headed in the right direction. "What I am sure of is that the American cattle and beef industry is strong – stronger than we have ever been," he said. "We are also focused on the future. We need to give a hand up to those young producers who can take us places that we've never been before."
More than 6,700 cattle industry members are gathered in San Diego for the convention and trade show, which started Jan. 27 and will conclude with the NCBA board meeting on Jan. 30. The week began with the 23rd Annual Cattlemen's College, an educational event that is famous for stimulating and thought-provoking sessions that help generate high returns for cattle operations. Almost 1,000 producers attended the informational sessions Jan. 26-27. Keynote speaker at the Cattlemen's College was Robert Fraley, Ph.D., Monsanto executive vice president, who reviewed innovation and technology in agriculture.
The NCBA Trade Show wraps up today at 5 p.m., the largest and most lively industry trade show ever. More than 340 exhibitors shared their wares, services and ideas with attendees at the event on seven acres of convention center space, with energetic, packed and enthusiastic crowds every day.
One highlight of the convention was an once-in-a-lifetime exclusive event aboard the USS Midway, the longest serving Navy aircraft of the 20th century featuring a 4-acre flight deck and two enclosed hangers. Cattlemen and women relived 50 years of history touring historic aircraft, taking a ride in flight simulators, and learning from former Midway veterans that served as docents.
Friday night, Jan. 29, Martina McBride will entertain the convention attendees, sharing her many country hits. McBride has been a steady presence in the country Top 10 since 1993.

Foreign investors will play a bigger role in driving Beijing's property investment market this year due to their increasing financing activities in Asia, industry experts said.
In its largest-ever fundraising activity, US private equity firm Blackstone raised $7.1 billion to invest in real estate across Asia, including the Beijing realty market.
UK-based real estate asset manager AEW Capital Management also announced that it had raised $1.2 billion for an Asia-Pacific property fund that includes Beijing as a target market.
"As foreign investors become more active in Asia, we expect to see them buy more assets in China, especially Beijing," said Michael Wang, head of capital markets for North China in JLL. "Meanwhile, as the financing conditions tighten for domestic players this year, foreign investors will have a bigger chance than before."
Postal Savings Bank of China, for instance, has purchased the new Everbright Center at Tongzhou area of Beijing for 4 billion yuan ($597 million), the highest profile transaction in the capital during the second quarter.
The performance of Beijing's bulk property investment market in the first half of 2018 was flat, with only 14 transactions amounting to 10.2 billion yuan, a 50 percent year-on-year decrease, according to a report from Savills.
That said, institutional investors are still eyeing Beijing's real estate opportunities, especially those that are scarce in high-quality locations or those that have stable rental returns, according to Savills.
According to Wang from JLL, the volume of institutions' investments in Beijing's property this year will probably exceed last year's 25 billion yuan.
In the first half of 2018, institutional investors have recorded a total of 11 full sale transactions in Beijing's property market, valued more than 8 billion yuan, according to an industry report from Colliers International.
Although investors are most interested in office buildings, the actual transactions mainly center on the hotel and retail segments, accounting for 42 percent and 31 percent of the total transaction volume respectively, Colliers International's report said.
In the second half of this year, more tradable assets will surface and more block trade activities could be expected due to the tightening of domestic liquidity and the improvement in macroeconomic factors, according to Colliers International.
Tradable properties will be mainly in non-core areas, and old projects with renovation potential in central areas will also attract sustained attention from investors, Colliers International's report said.

irregular astigmatism diagnosis and treatment
by ming wang (editor)
since the advent of keratorefractive surgery and its rising popularity, irregular astigmatism has become an increasingly important issue for ophthalmologists and optometrists. despite the success of lasik and prk, there are more and more patients experiencing visual quality problems due to the non-physiological modification of the corneal structure. among these complications, irregular astigmatism is perhaps the most difficult to treat.
the first of its kind, irregular astigmatism: diagnosis and treatment synthesizes our knowledge and understanding of irregular astigmatism and addresses state-of-the-art technology in management and treatment. dr. ming wang, assisted by dr. tracy swartz, has led a team of internationally known experts in the field to produce this innovative, comprehensive, and logically presented text, which includes more than 300 illustrations to supplement the information provided.
inside you will find:
history and optics of regular and irregular astigmatisms
useful criteria for diagnosis and classification
current state-of-the-art technologies for treatment
suggestions for future direction in treatment technology
every physician who performs keratorefractive surgery understands that in reducing a patient's refractive error, there is a possibility of creating irreversible effects on visual quality. irregular astigmatism: diagnosis and treatment is intended to help prevent and reduce the iatrogenic creation of irregular astigmatism, as well as provide effective treatment when postoperative complications do arise.
complications discussed include:
decentered treatment
small optical zone
central island
oblate cornea
destablized cornea
in addition, this text systematically separates two distinctly different etiological groups of irregular astigmatism—that of a structurally stable cornea and that of a structurally unstable weak cornea—and comprehensively presents all treatment modalities for each.
treatment technologies addressed include:
uv corneal cross-linking
intacs intracorneal rings
penetrating and lamellar keratoplasties
custom wavefront- and topography-driven treatments
lens surgery and toric iol
with the maturation of keratorefractive technology in recent years, effective treatment for iatrogenic irregular astigmatism is quickly developing. irregular astigmatism: diagnosis and treatment provides everything refractive surgeons, ophthalmologists, and optometrists need to know about this important topic.

The short answer is: "I don't know." 🙂
There are some things to consider, though. I know that there is a temptation to get to a certain standard of work and then to decide "it's time". At that moment, an income and livelihood is riding on it, so many professional artists begin to paint what they think will sell. I'm not convinced that is the right way to go.
For one thing, it tends to cramp the style of the artist and homogenise their output, as they try to second guess the market. In most cases, the artist's idea of what will sell cannot possibly be grounded in fact and data. At best, all they can know is what previously sold. The artist's notion of what sells has to be an opinion and what gives anybody the idea that they can guess this correctly the first time out?
Lately, people have begun to ask me when my first exhibition will be and when I will start to seriously market and sell my work. I don't feel ready. I don't think I have reached a point where my style is strong enough. People tell me that some of my work is good enough (they're often just being kind, but equally often quite sincere). I don't. It's not fear of falling or lack of confidence, I just don't feel like my art is "there" yet. It doesn't yet feel complete.
I think one of the best things about delaying the decision to go pro is that you can explore your own technique and paint the things you like, rather than the things you think will sell. At least that way, you can develop something authentic, that you like to do, which allows you to express yourself, without inhibition. If you pursue that line of being true to yourself and exploring your own aesthetic expression without fear or self-conscious constraint, I think you are more likely to come up with something original. I may be wrong, but that's how it seems to me.
In contrast, I believe going pro too soon carries the danger of constraining you into creating something derivative, just like all the other works that seem to be selling at the moment. It's limiting. You might be able to make a decent go of that, but in the end, it must be more like being a juke box than being a composer. What you think sells might not even be the thing you like to paint most. To my way of thinking, you wind up going through the motions and denying your soul, in the long run.
The downside of staying amateur is the difficulty of finding the hours to perfect your art. After all, you would have to earn your living some other way and use only your leisure hours to paint, so that has to slow you down somewhat. On the other hand, going pro and starving seems like a very hard (but all too common) road to travel, to me. At least if you have a job, you're better placed to afford decent art materials.
Maybe that's the reason the starving artist has become such a cliché. They're spending the time necessary to find their own style, but not succeeding in selling anything, because they're trying to sell to people that may be unprepared and unreceptive to their new way of seeing, at first.
Here is the supreme irony. If you stay amateur, develop your personal style and, by happy chance, come up with something original, it will probably sell, at some point. What people want most is authenticity and originality. That has been demonstrated countless times by history. Van Gogh, famously, undoubtedly came up with something highly original, beloved by millions today, but didn't manage to sell much during his own lifetime. There's the rub. You may never earn a professional living from your art while you're alive.
However, that isn't always true and I claim that taking your time to develop your own style is worthwhile, because it ultimately produces work that will sell better and command a much higher value than derivative works (even if that takes a lifetime). It also allows you to continue to enjoy the process of making art, without compromise to your inner creative being.
In the end, it's all about artistic integrity. If you do what you must, as an artist, the work flows out. If you do what you think you should, you might be productive, but you won't necessarily like what you do or even yourself. Ultimately, that will make even staying productive all the more difficult. You may also consign yourself to the legion of forgotten journeymen artists whose work eventually, but relentlessly, becomes valueless.
So forget the money. Shoot for immortality instead! It might enrich your kids or your grandchildren. 🙂

and Drive Action Realizing SDGs
This week, GSC will explore SDG 6, which calls to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
According to the Sustainable Development Knowledge Platform, in 2015, 6.6 billion people (over 90 per cent of the world's population) used improved drinking water sources and 4.9 billion people (over two thirds of the world's population) used improved sanitation facilities. In both cases, people without access live predominantly in rural areas. Achieving universal access to basic sanitation and ending the unsafe practice of open defecation will require substantial acceleration of progress in rural areas of Central and Southern Asia, Eastern and South-Eastern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

text: Marcoussis - When Camille Lopez takes the field against South Africa on Saturday with the number 10 emblazoned across the back of his French jersey, a nation will hold its breath.WATCH: Rassie coaches the 'Farrell tackle'The 29-year-old Clermont flyhalf, who is back with the Bleus 18 painful months after playing the last of his 16 Tests, has been dubbed the saviour as France tries to find the key to unlock its true potential ahead of next year's World Cup in Japan."Camille Lopez is the best flyhalf in France," said coach Jacques Brunel with characteristic candour when he announced the squad for the November Tests.But - there is always a 'but' with Lopez - there is the question of "the ankle". Can it withstand the rigours of Test rugby, especially against the supremely physical Springboks? "I have a piece of wood instead of the ankle," Lopez told AFP. Having missed the 2017 tour to South Africa on medical advice, Lopez lined up against Northampton in the Champions Cup last October keen to impress then-coach Guy Noves who was about to name his November squad.As Lopez made one of his trademark darting runs through the middle, he was caught and dragged down by his opposite number Nic Groom who then landed on top of the Frenchman. His ankle snapped."It was worse than the crusaders," says Lopez."I had a fracture of the fibula and the left malleolus with a ruptured ligament. The worst was my ankle. It took me almost ten months to play rugby properly."To be injured the week before the announcement of the squad for the autumn Tests was a big slap in the face because in this France team time moves on. What made it tougher was knowing I was out of the Six Nations as well."It was a big slap in the face for Noves too who watched his side lose to New Zealand and South Africa before being held to a draw by Japan.In December, Noves was replaced by Jacques Brunel who, with Lopez on crutches, handed the number 10 jersey to Matthieu Jalibert, Anthony Belleau, Lionel Beauxis and Francois Trinh-Duc. Belleau then went on to start all three Tests on the tour to New Zealand with Jules Plisson as his understudy.Five flyhalves in 14 Tests is hardly a recipe for stability and team-building ahead of the World Cup which makes Saturday's match a key moment both for Brunel and for Lopez as he tries to atone for the gaps in his international career. He remains bitter over his omission from the 2015 World Cup squad - "I was screwed" - and is desperate to get to Japan.Everything, though, will depend on that left ankle."At times, it's complicated," he says."There are days with pain and days without, I'm aware of it now. I'm prepared because I was told that it would be like that but today I can play normally and do almost anything on the field."Brunel and a nation of French rugby fans will be hoping that "everything" includes delivering victory over the Boks.

As a dedicated The Cure fan since more than 30 years, here are my highlights of their concert at Paléo Festival Nyon, July 25 2019.
This picture was taken during my 8 hours layover in Doha after a flight from Bangkok. I was alone and it was boring as hell to say the least.
My post as to be taken in perspective: I just had an awesome trip in northern Vietnam and all the excitements I just had experienced in this wonderful country.
Most post I read on the forums talked about how cool and fancy this airport was and all the hype and how people get exited about shopping all over the place and so on.. but I'm definitely not that type of person. Besides, this airport is quite expensive, for me at least.
My flight arrived at 11:55PM and had to catch my next fight to Geneva at 8:15AM. I walked all through the terminals from pure boredom. I think now I know all the restrooms location in the terminals. The airport is weird and unpersonal, lots of people connecting from almost all over the world and don't even bother to talk to anyone. Taking pictures was forbidden in some areas for no reason really…
Doha airport is as new and modern as it is boring and I can't say anything cool about this place.. really. This picture was taken at 6:31am according the camera EXIFs… that's all about it and I was happy to leave this airport.. completely exhausted and unimpressed.
This is my first blog post of the "Every picture has a story" series. A picture can say a thousand words but sometimes they cannot say what was involved to take them. Here is the first story behind my pictures.
The plan was to take a picture of the Griffith Observatory park with downtown Los Angeles in the background at sunset. Plain and simple and yet I wasn't too sure how to get to this location where the observatory and downtown are aligned in the frame. So I planned to be there way before sunset in order to have plenty of time ahead to find it.
I started my journey at the Getty museum and asked the Uber driver to pick me up at the museum and drop me by the Hollywood sign and from there I thought i'd walk on some trail to find a good spot… but poor swiss me, I didn't expect the traffic to be that bad and even with hours ahead I arrived late! I rushed to find this place and finally made it completely soaked in sweat. I didn't have my tripod (I know I know… stupid me), hence I put my camera on my bag which is something no photographer recommends, too unstable and too close to the ground. I quickly pulled out bushes to get an unobstructed view for the lens, I had my 70-200mm but I would recommend the 400mm. The sun was already low but I managed to get this one which I think is not too bad after all.
So if you want to know where this spot is located: Mt Chapel trail, not far from the antenna of the LA communications facility. If you happen to have others or better suggestions for shooting locations of the Griffith Observatory I would be glad to know them, just leave a message in the comment section below… 🙂

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) is a heritage railway in North Yorkshire, England running through the North York Moors National Park. First opened in 1836 as the Whitby and Pickering Railway, the railway was planned in 1831 by George Stephenson as a means of opening up trade routes inland from the then important seaport of Whitby. The line closed in 1965 and was reopened in 1973 by the North York Moors Historical Railway Trust Ltd. The preserved line is now a significant tourist attraction and has been awarded many industry accolades. (Source : Wikipedia)

The Atacama desert in Chile is a plateau west of the Andes mountains. It is the driest non-polar desert in the world, the average rainfall is about 15 mm (0.6 in) per year. Most of the desert is composed of stony terrain, salt lakes (salares), sand, and felsic lava that flows towards the Andes.Read More»
Bryce Canyon National Park is located between Zion Park and Kodachrome Basin. It is one of the most beautiful parks in Utah and is therefore more frequented and less wild. Bryce Canyon is not a canyon, but rather a limestone plateau, located between 2'018 and 2'748 m. Once covered by the sea, it is now covered with fairy chimneys, here called hoodoos. Great hiking and photography is to be done in the park, to admire the rocks, ranging from yellow to dark red as well as chipmunks, a kind of small squirrels.

Air India and Indian Airlines' staff-pilots, engineers and cabin crews would soon receive incomes as per industry standards. The DM Dharmadhikari committee and the Civil Aviation Ministry are done discussing about the changes in pay structure and would be discussing it with the Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs. As per Dharmadhikari Panel's guidelines, Productivity Linked Incentives were abolished in the previous year. The pay gap between Air India and Indian Airlines staff would be eliminated and when the liner would start making profits, Productivity Related Pay would be given. Many other allowances are going to be entitled to the staff.

Sigma Camp Day 7
Today was the last full day of Sigma!
As usual we started our day with lectures after breakfast. We discussed Fermat's principal to bend light, investigated how to visualize, map and model the brain, examined the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences and learned about special effects that were around way before the computers even existed.
After the lectures we had a grand finale to our Sigma tournament. We worked with our teams to solve some puzzling problems in math, physics, and chemistry. We were very proud of team Rho, which took the first place!
After the tournament was completed we proceeded to a team event where we had one last chance to travel between various exciting stations in our teams. After lunch we gathered for an award ceremony. The winners of the Sigma Tournament together with the winners of chess-ball and Ping-Pong tournaments received their awards. We read the diplomas for our treasured faculty. After the ceremony we had a chance to pack up and clean our cabins in the preparation for leaving the camp tomorrow morning.
The official Sigma Camp closing ceremony started right after dinner. Our counselors read our diplomas and gave us a gift – books that will help to maintain our interest in different areas of science. While we received our diplomas we signed our names on a vessel where Sigma Spirit will be dwelling until Sigma Camp 2019. At the end we gathered at the campfire and sealed the vessel with the Sigma Spirit saying good-bye to Sigma Camp 2018.
Even though our Sigma Camp 2018 is officially over, the fun hasn't stopped yet! We are still dancing into the night spending the last hours at Silver Lake with our old and new friends. Please, do not forget to come and pick us up tomorrow morning!
