New Study Introduces Valuable Tool to Aid Doctors and Patients in Choosing Successful Outcomes for Cheek Rejuvenation
-Dr. Andrew Jacono Reveals Simple Method to Predict Surgical Outcomes and Determine Optimal Approach-
Jan 24, 2013, 07:17 EST
NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A revealing new study published today in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery and authored by top New York City Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Dr. Andrew Jacono, identifies a basic principle that can predict how certain surgical procedures may affect aging cheeks, and offers a simple algorithm for choosing the ideal surgical approach. The study, entitled "Anatomic Predictors of Unsatisfactory Outcomes in Surgical Rejuvenation of the Midface," finds that many patients lack the ideal bone structure in order to make common cheek rejuvenation procedures successful, and therefore are dissatisfied with results. Now, a simple technique using intersecting lines can easily determine if a patient's facial structure will easily allow for optimal results from certain cheek procedures.
"Tuck a pencil over the top of your ear, keeping it perfectly horizontal. Then, place your index finger vertically against your forehead to form an intersection," explains Dr. Jacono. "Where these two intersect is where your cheekbone should fall, if you're a prime candidate for basic cheek rejuvenation procedures."
"The issue is that most of the population does not fall into this realm," says Dr. Jacono. For prospective patients whose bone structure varies from the ideal, the study introduces an algorithm for determining the most successful cheek rejuvenation procedures, based on a myriad of patient-specific anatomic and genetic considerations. This useful tool will aid both surgeons and potential patients in better understanding how to choose anti-aging procedures that will achieve optimal, lasting results.
"Aging of the cheeks is complex and multifactorial, and so cosmetic consultation for rejuvenation is thus the most difficult," said Dr. Jacono, who often publishes on the subject. "This algorithm, organized into a simple flowchart that aesthetic surgeons may consult, will assist in selecting a plan with patients that has the highest likelihood of success because it affords a customized and integrated approach specific to each patient's facial structure. Often, a combination of procedures is required to help build cheek volume. For example, an endoscopic mid-face or mini-S type facelift can be combined with fat transfers or cheek augmentation for optimal results."
"As a surgeon, patient satisfaction is my most important goal," says Jacono. "While many patients require a multi-faceted surgical approach in order to see successful results, we recognize that many patients may be adverse to certain procedures, or financially limited. We hope that this valuable tool will assist aesthetic surgeons and patients in having critical conversations that result in selection of the best plan possible."

How Do I Know If I Have A Yeast Infection
Today I would like to answer a question thatI frequently get asked. How do I know if I have a yeast infection? Well, there are many ways I can answer thisquestion. One of the most intelligent ways to answer it is to say, let's just see ifthere are any particular causes which could have contributed to your yeast infection inthe first place. I think that's quite a smart move. So let's have a look. Have you taken an antibiotic in the past severalyears or recurrent rounds of antibiotics? Have you been on the oral contraceptive pillfor any prolonged period of time? Do you have
cravings for sugar? Have you had any othermedications? Have you been on any steroid based drugs like prednisone or cortisone fora while or perhaps inhaled steroids for asthma? They're called preventatives. These are allquite pertinent questions. Do you feel worse in a damp surrounding? Perhaps you live ina moldy sort of environment. Does it make you cough or wheeze? These are all importantquestions to ask, you know, if you have a yeast infection. Look at the signs and symptoms of yeast infection.Can you relate to any of these? Do you have any aches or pains in the body? Any digestiveproblems? Fogginess in the head? Do you have
any toenail fungus or jock itch or vaginalthrush? That's how you're going to know if you've got a yeast infection. If you go to yeastinfection , you can seea lot of the common signs and symptoms on one of my pages there. There's a very comprehensivepage I've written about the signs and symptoms of yeast infection. But probably one of themost intelligent things you can do is to go to my quiz on CandidaCrusher . Very, verygood quiz you will find online. In fact, it's the world's best online Candida quiz. So bygoing there and you can just follow the 20 odd screens for man, woman or child and justgo through the screens and you're going to
find out whether there's a low probability,moderate or high probability that you've got a yeast infection. It took a long time for me to put this quiztogether and many, many thousands of people now have done this quiz. I've had some incrediblygood feedback, so that's a very smart way to find out if you've got a yeast infection. One of the best antifungal products you'llfind anywhere in the world is called Canxida. It took me six months to develop Canxida andI'm very proud of it, and it's now being taken up by quite a few people. We've had incrediblygood feedback from Canxida. It's unlike any
other product you'll find of its kind on themarket. It's sustained release and contains 11 of the best ingredients in it. So thankyou everybody for your exceptional feedback for Canxida. So don't forget, if you really want to knowif you've got a yeast infection, go to CandidaCrusher and please complete my online quiz. That'show you're going to find out if you've got Candida or not. Thank you for your attention.

After, a count of 6 days that I wished I could fly again after joining this forum few weeks ago at last I did it.
This happened two nights ago-I woke up to ease my self after which I couldn't sleep back immediately. I was thinking about a call from my Boss earlier that night and the annoying statement he made and I wished I could tender my resignation letter the next day,which is impossible without securing another job first.Also considering I have a wife and daughter to care for.
On my back I laid on the bed with my wife fast asleep beside me. I drift slowly to sleep and it became a dream but in the dream I was walking along a path in a suburb with my wife.I immediately sense this and remembered my quest to lucid dream again.I took the opportunity held my wife with my right hand, run i few yards and stretched my left hand.Up I went like a superman,I notice my wife's weight pulling me down immediately , so I landed with my legs. I tried again but this time spotted a slope-Like landscape, I ran again still holding my wife tight like the first run but ran more yards on the slope and there I go flying high about the ground and above the buildings with my wife safe on my hold. I wanted to explore the dream so i did some things like - increased my speed, turn between buildings and even did a 180 degrees turn. It was Fun. I don't know much about dream terminology so I cant really classify the dream I had. Am back
Am Back Like a superman
For general lucid chat - ask questions, share advice, set lucid dream challenges and explore the lucid realm together.

If you think Sisyphus had a raw deal, doomed as he was forever to roll that stone up the mountain only to see it roll back down each time he reached the top, imagine how much tougher it would have been if he'd had a bad heart.
Award-winning guitarist Pete Huttlinger has taken his music to the top of the mountain time and time again—from touring the world with John Denver to playing Carnegie Hall—only to be tripped up by his congenitally damaged heart and made to start the journey all over.
That Pete still plays like a champion—and still tours—is principally attributable to three factors: his unflagging spirit (some might call it a "stout heart"), dramatic advances in heart-assistance technology and the Olympian support of his wife, Erin, who simply will not let him doubt his own resilience, succumb to despair or (as he observes) stop working. She has been the cheerleading, guitar-carrying Mrs. Sisyphus on all his toughest climbs.
Joined At The Heart is structured around two catastrophic medical events in Pete's life: the massive stroke in 2010 that came close to paralyzing or killing him, and the rapidly failing heart that sent him to the Texas Heart Institute in Houston for the entire summer of 2011. Told by Pete and Erin from alternating perspectives, this triumphant narrative is dramatic, inspiring and—against all odds—surprisingly funny. The best love stories always are. And this is one of the best. John Oates (of Hall & Oates) has written a touching introduction. Purchase of the book includes a free MP3 download of one of Pete's original tunes, "Things Are Looking Up."
Pete Huttlinger is one of the world's most awe-inspiring acoustic guitar players. His imaginative arrangements, spellbinding musicality and riotous sense of humor have dazzled audiences from Los Angeles to Milan, both in his role as a solo artist and as lead guitarist for such headliners as John Denver, John Oates (of Hall & Oates) and LeAnn Rimes. He has played Carnegie Hall and Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival three times each. He's also recorded and produced more than a dozen albums.
Erin Morris Huttlinger, Pete's wife, is a veteran publicist and artist-development specialist. At RCA Records, she enhanced and spotlighted the careers of Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Charley Pride, Alabama, Waylon Jennings, The Judds, Roy Rogers and Keith Whitley, among others. As an independent publicist, she has helmed publicity campaigns for such stars as Vince Gill, LeAnn Rimes, Ralph Stanley, Martina McBride, Merle Haggard, Ricky Skaggs, Steve Wariner and The Time Jumpers.
In addition to Pete's concert tours, he and Erin also make speaking appearances that chronicle their triumphs over Pete's seemingly insurmountable medical problems to enable him to continue performing. It's called "Things Are Looking Up."

Music must be a lady
The way it makes sweet love to me... Me ooh
Music, I'm so amazed by your choice of melodies that you used on me
Lady music, when we make love it's like we're making love ooh in the same key
Music must be a lady cause of the way you sing your melody
Woman, I'm overcome by your sexual energy
Miss Conductor orchestrate, show me just how to please you in this room
Music I'll do for you
(I hear a drum roll as we lay) Oh, and when you grace my stage I can't find the words to say except...
(Music) Must be... Must be a woman
Oh, You're my anthem
Oh! You're the reason why I dance
Mu- Mrs. Music I wanna make your body sing songs of joy and happiness
Write your words in my bed
Ms. Music said I'd never fall in love- never ever fall in love and now here I am in love-so so so in love with you
Ms. Music this love making is so unique
Go on and let it ring out over me
Like a choir at it's peak
Mu-sic said I celebrate you and I honor you and I salute you
And I sing my heart out to you music cause you deserve it
And I would like to do some things to you
So get ready... Oh, get ready darlin'!
Cause I'm about to add harmony to your life
A love making duet just to be precise babe
Hello, sweet Soprano I want you to meet Mr. Tenor
And I love your music
As a matter of fact I'm quite a big fan
(Music)... Mrs. Music (Ms. Music) Mrs. Music...

Keeping the streets clear over the next 24 hours will come down to a race between the city plows and the snow.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation had deployed its full fleet, 274 trucks plus more than 100 garbage trucks with quick hitch plows to clear main routes and Lake Shore Drive. But snowfall of one inch per hour or more will still result in accumulation, officials said.
The department will direct the trucks to problem streets and intersections as needed by monitoring the developing storm through more than 1000 cameras positioned throughout the city, department head Tom Byrne said during a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

"I think that's one of the challenges we're dealing with and this whole league's dealing with," said new San Francisco 49ers General Manager John Lynch, whose team won't have a quarterback under contract when free agency begins. "To be quite honest, it's tough at times. For instance, with receivers, there's not much of a route tree.
Not only that, but an NFL team (and the Super Bowl. Remember, we'll get to that) would give Toronto an excuse to finally fix that once futuristic and now putrid eyesore that is the SkyDome, er, the Rogers Center. The SkyDome is a relic, a relic that you could tell was once marveled over because it had a "retractable" roof and was meant for baseball.
Several athletes, including a handful of NFL players, have vestidos rojos refused to stand during Star Spangled Banner to protest of the treatment of blacks by police.

Instead, the Rams signed a new center and a new left tackle. With new offensive line coach Aaron Kromer in the fold as well, Kromer says his most important job is just figuring out how to all the pieces fit.

And Russia. The fastest pitchers can launch a baseball at 105 mph, as the Cincinnati Reds' Aroldis Chapman managed in September 2010. A football, with its ungainly oblong shape, technically called a prolate spheroid, doesn't typically reach these speeds.
Side effects from the medicine had him so sedated that it was literally dangerous for him to play. He was frustrated and lost his position and lost credibility. He tried cannabis and actually got back in the game. Of course, he mitigates the mistakes with 16 TD passes.

In any other season specifically last year this would have looked like a real upset at home for the Cowboys but, in truth, Dallas were just edged out by a superior side. This Los Angeles outfit look legit, running up the scoreboard in excess of 30 points for the third time this season. The Cowboys kept pace as best they could Dak Prescott throwing three TDs but it just wasn't enough.

Enjoy it. Have fun with it. I don't think it's the stage for protests, I'm sorry.". Sixth wide receiver Let's be real and put Ryan Grant on the "safe" list.

I don't know how long it was, but it was pretty long. My eyes were fogging up. I couldn't see after. There is no guarantee that a First Amendment lawsuit would succeed against pro teams even if they have accepted government money, Tushnet said. Other legal experts dismiss the idea of any First Amendment lawsuit against NFL teams being successful. Rules for player conduct are also spelled out in the league rulebook, personal conduct policy and the collective bargaining agreement..
The NFL is different. Although some fans say that they are giving up professional football, there's no serious prospect that outrage over accusations of violence against women will lead to significant boycotts. Nor am I advocating such a course. 1. IK Enemkpali may be the key to the Bills' defense. Really.
Lewis: Praying. This makes me ask you a serious question. I have First Amendment rights myself. For Ford and Hodges, I'm not quite sure how returning would have affected their draft stock all too much a year from now. Ford was highly thought of because of his production, then his stock plummeted largely based on a mediocre 40 time. If he came back to Tech, would he all of a sudden transform into a 4.3 guy? I don't think so.
Citing a recent survey by Forbes magazine showing 19 franchises are worth at least $1 billion, Atallah said: "Average team profits last year increased by 31 percent and labor costs by only 4 percent.

This, of course, is ludicrous. Hernandez was a gang member in high school, a shooting suspect at the University of Florida and a murderer in the NFL. In the case of Hernandez, I'd say his brain disorder should have been called CTE (Chronic Thug Exploits).
LEWIS: The entire car ride, I never said a word. Like, I had nothing to say, and he started talking from the moment we got in the car. And I remember sitting there, man. The Saints are particularly dangerous in this rare role. It's only happened 10 times Football Jerseys Cheapest Online since 2006, and one of them was the 2006 season finale when Drew Brees and the rest of the starters played only one series to preserve themselves for the playoffs. If you exclude that game, the Saints are a gaudy 9 1 vs.

Syd is a muscular, strapping young man, 6 foot 2, 195 pounds, his nickname of "The Bus" coming from the brute power he demonstrates when he's on the bike. He's dark and striking, and a sly smile often plays around his lips. At Mount St. Referees in every sport huddle together when an important call needs to be made.

That was the mind set. peto vaquero mujer Spent his year away from football working a part time job at a restaurant and training during most other hours.

Said Lee: preparing the same way I been preparing;. Nothing in my mind has [changed]. I probably get a little bit more attention on my side [from defenses], but I not worried. VERNON DAVIS: During the off season, I lift for [muscle] endurance. I'll start with 205 pounds and rep it out, then go up to 225 and rep it out, and 245 and rep it out. Then I'll come back down 245 and rep it out, 225 and rep it out, and so on.
If the quarterback is young and talented, and if the wide receivers are better, and if the offensive line is deep, and if the defense front seven has promise, and if the safety tandem is among the best in the NFL, and if Ronald Darby is at least a viable starting cornerback, and Jim Schwartz is an experienced and well regarded defensive coordinator, and the special teams are again excellent, what left? A head coach, Doug Pederson, who still has to prove that he more than the amiable Andy Reid disciple the Eagles settled on last year. The Eagles added talent throughout their roster during the offseason. They haven won a playoff game since January 2009.

I have to disagree with the world class tag given to Kane. I think he is an incredibly talented and wonderful player. But until he can prove himself outside of the Premier League (either in the Champions League or with the national team), he is below Lewandowski, Suarez, Cavani, Aguero and Ronaldo.
"Of course he's being blackballed," Bennett said this week on a New York radio station. "Nobody likes race and politics in sports. I think that's one of those things that nobody wants to talk about, and for him to bring race and politics in sports, I think it struck a lot of people the wrong way.".
To that list I might add the Seattle Dumb Swedes, or the Tacoma Drunken Irish, in recognition of my people, although, compared to the vitriol of other historical epithets, we got off easyYou'll get divided opinions in the ongoing controversy over Redskins, however, which, to me, conjures up a stereotypical western movie image of a white guy in body grease from Victor Mature to Johnny Depp. Still, a poll in the last decade found only one in ten Indians objected to Redskins, and an AP survey this year found 79 percent in favor of keeping the team name. Besides, Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder has said he'll never change his red skinned brave logo because fans love itBut how long can he hold out against changing times and moods?

Some, such as former NFL defensive coordinator Marvin Lewis, who became head coach for the Cincinnati Bengals, move on to head coaching gigs.Job SecurityIn the NFL, team owners and fans demand success, and coaches receive much of the blame when teams fail to meet expectations.

How to Set Up TVs in Sports Bar by Robert Vaux; Updated September 26, 2017 One of the main draws in a sports bar is setting up televisions for customers to watch the big game.

Thumbs up to De'Mornay Pierson El for his creativity in describing why he's excited about watching Nebraska's defense this season.

I hope Pierson El doesn't mind if I steal the adjective "annoying" to describe disruptive defenses in the future.
You know the rule, but it's worth repeating because it seems like fans are numb to its shame. If the team that wins the coin flip scores a touchdown on its initial possession, the game is over.

Traveling together with someone else or solo travel? Companionship and accountability along the way come with the risk of putting the relationship under too much pressure, as all adventures are by definition unpredictable. Solo runs on the other hand are great confidence builders. You learn to find happiness within rather than look for support in another. But then there is no one to share those milestones and count those stars at bivouac with. We'd say: experiment with both kinds of travel, as long as you are out there chasing your dreams and finding your path to what makes you happy. . • • #oyibo #intotheworld #africa #namibia #motorcycle #xt660z #yamahatenere #travelgram #upshift_online #globetrotter #advlife #motolife #mototravel #dualsportlife #motorcycleadventure #xladv #motorcycletravel #whyweride #bikelife #adventurerider #adventureattack #ADVpulse #motophoto #instamoto #makelifearide #cagelessadventure #motorcycletouring #abrsnap #roamafrica . .

The polar satellite launch vehicle (PSLV), the most reliable trusted rocket of the Indian Space Research and Organisation (Isro), will deploy the satellites into a near-equatorial orbit, inclined 15 degrees lower to the south of the equator.
"As Singapore has a cloudy weather most of the year, the observatory satellite will be put in a sun-synchronous polar orbit 550 km above the earth so that it could transmit signals round-the-clock, cloud disturbances notwithstanding," Hegde said on the margins of a defence and aerospace seminar.
Hegde added that "The observatory spacecraft will be used disaster and environment monitoring, maritime safety, urban planning and homeland security,"
India will also launch another 900 kg dedicated communication satellite (AISAT) for the German space agency (GLR) in 2016 from its spaceport at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
Hegde further added that "Of the 23 satellites we have commercially contracted for launches in the earth's lower orbit from nine developed and developing countries, 21 smaller, micro and nano type are from Algeria, Canada, Indonesia, Japan and the US for communication, remote sensing, observational activities."
ISRO has received a demand for launching 1,500 satellites for various space and science applications from countries the world over. India is grading up its capacity to launch as many of them. ISRO costs are highly competitive and record expertise in sending them in lower orbits using PSLV over the decades has been the key of its success.

Democratic Republic of Congo
One of Africa's largest countries, with a population of 65 million, DRC is ranked in the bottom 10 countries worldwide on the Human Development Index, despite its vast potential wealth. Years of conflict have created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. People's suffering is aggravated by the wider economic and political situation in the country.
- An estimated 6 million people have lost their lives since 1998, most of them from preventable diseases. Rape and destruction remain a powerful weapon of war.
- The total number of people displaced in Congo is 3.8 million making it the largest displacement crisis in Africa.
- It is also home to nearly 500,000 refugees from Burundi, Central Africa Republic and South Sudan.
- More than three million people are severely food insecure, with acute malnutrition well above the 10 percent emergency threshold in the worst-off communities.
- Conflict in the Kasai region has displaced around 1,3 million people, internally and externally. It is more than in any country.
Oxfam in the Democratic Republic of Congo
OXFAM in DRC works in both development and emergency projects toward the most vulnerable communities. We deploy programs of WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene), Livelihood, Gender, Protection and Governance. Our emergency response focus on providing clean water and sanitation facilities to minimize the spread of disease.
Women Rights
Oxfam works with Congolese women associations and feminists' groups to promote women rights. This includes work on challenging social norms regarding gender roles and gender power relations as well as legal frame works to promote gender justice in the DRC.
Oxfam works with communities and with structured civil society to reinforce accountability between duty-bearers and citizens. The governance work includes the Protection programme in the East by which local communities and very specially women groups, identify protection threats and engage with duty bearers to find local solutions. Oxfam also pay special attention to Governance in Extractive Industries.
Oxfam supports Congolese farmers by reinforcing farmers cooperatives across the country to increase productivity and commercialization, allowing farmers to obtain better revenues from their activity and by strengthening their institutions so they have a stronger voice at local, provincial and national level.
Water and sanitation
Oxfam works across DRC to increase the access to clean water sanitation and to promote behavior change on hygiene habits that will improve community health and decrease water and hygienic related illness.
Humanitarian response
Playing a leading role as a national humanitarian actor, Oxfam provides quick, high quality humanitarian assistance to Congolese people affected by crisis. Oxfam humanitarian response consist of WASH, Emergency Food Security and Vulnerable Livelihoods (EFSVL) and Protection. On WASH Oxfam provides lifesaving access to water and sanitation to people affected by crisis; on EFSVL Oxfam is prioritizing cash distribution or food vouchers to stimulate the local market, including local producers. Protection is mainstreamed into all humanitarian work.

The article originally appeared at TomDispatch.com. Click here to listen to the author discuss how fear of terrorism increases presidential power.
In the seven weeks since the killing of Osama bin Laden, pundits and experts of many stripes have concluded that his death represents a marker of genuine significance in the story of America's encounter with terrorism. Peter Bergen, a bin Laden expert, was typically blunt the day after the death when he wrote, "Killing bin Laden is the end of the war on terror. We can just sort of announce that right now."
Yet you wouldn't know it in Washington where, if anything, the Obama administration and Congress have interpreted the killing of al-Qaeda's leader as a virtual license to double down on every "front" in the war on terror. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was no less blunt than Bergen, but with quite a different endpoint in mind. "Even as we mark this milestone," she said on the day Bergen's comments were published, "we should not forget that the battle to stop al-Qaeda and its syndicate of terror will not end with the death of bin Laden. Indeed, we must take this opportunity to renew our resolve and redouble our efforts."
National Security Adviser John Brennan concurred. "This is a strategic blow to al-Qaeda," he commented in a White House press briefing. "It is a necessary but not necessarily sufficient blow to lead to its demise. But we are determined to destroy it." Similarly, at his confirmation hearings to become Secretary of Defense, CIA Director Leon Panetta called for Washington to expand its shadow wars. "We've got to keep the pressure up," he told the senators.
As if to underscore the policy implications of this commitment to "redoubling our efforts," drone aircraft were dispatched on escalating post-bin-Laden assassination runs from Yemen (including a May 6th failed attempt on American al-Qaeda follower Anwar al-Awlaki) to Pakistan. There, on May 23rd, a drone failed to take out Taliban leader Mullah Omar, while, on June 2nd, an attempt to kill Ilyas Kashmiri, a militant associated with the 2008 terrorist attack on Mumbai, India, may (or may not) have failed. And those were only the most publicized of escalating drone attacks, while reports of a major "intensification" of the drone campaign in Yemen are pouring in.
In the meantime, President Obama used the bin Laden moment to push through and sign into law a four-year renewal of the Patriot Act, despite bipartisan resistance in Congress and the reservations of civil liberties groups. They had stalled its passage earlier in the year, hoping to curtail some of its particularly onerous sections, including the "lone wolf" provision that allows surveillance of non-US citizens in America, even if they have no ties to foreign powers, and the notorious Section 215, which grants the FBI authority to obtain library and business records in the name of national security.

Review: Partida Tequila
Finally got to sample Partida's new, full line of tequilas today. Color me impressed. No, seriously. Here's how they shake out.
Partida Blanco – This is a peppery but very clean silver tequila, smooth and perfect for mixing and even for sipping straight in a pinch. Among the best tequilas I've tried. A- / $40 [BUY IT NOW FROM CASKERS]
Partida Reposado – Very similar to the Blanco. A pale yellow, lighter than most Reposados. It has a bit more bite than the Blanco and a light woodiness reflecting its cask aging. I like it almost as much as the Blanco, but not quite. A- / $50
Partida Añejo – The Cadillac of Añejo tequilas as far as I'm concerned, and my new favorite "sipping" tequila. This is an incredibly smooth Añejo, oaky and aged in Jack Daniels barrels, giving it a complexity and lushness that you don't get in most tequilas of any age. A strong sweetness on the finish gives it a fruitiness that's, again, uncommon in this liquor. Tequila fans will need to put this on a must-try list, immediately. A / $62
Now for the bad news: None of these are what I'd describe as cheap. You pay for quality, especially in the tequila world, it seems. (Feeling rich? There's a $330 bottle called Elegante Extra Añejo that even I haven't gotten to try…)

Prophetic Truth Lessons
Lesson 02 - Four Kingdoms and a Horn
The Goal of these lessons is to present
the TRUTH as it is in Jesus.
The book of Revelation is a revelation of Jesus.
What great themes are hidden in the prophetic
language of Scripture?
We hope you learn more about Jesus, His
character and his plan for your life.
Picture cartoons are a very popular method of communicating a thought or an idea that, in most cases, could not be said as well with words, or if it could be, would require many words to do so. We are all familiar with some of the symbols that are used. Frequently animal symbols are used to represent either political parties or nations. We quickly recognize the symbol of an eagle as representing the United States, just as a bear represents Russia. So it is with some of the visions that Daniel was given. In the vision recorded in Chapter 7 the Lord showed him the future of the world, presenting the world powers as animals with characteristics that revealed something about the nations they represented.
1. Who was the king at the time of this vision of Daniel? Daniel 7:1
NOTE: At the time of this vision the kingdom of Babylon was soon to fall. It was conquered by the Medes and Persians during the reign of Belshazzar, Nebudchadnezzar's grandson.
2. What did Daniel see? Daniel 7:2
3. What does water represent in prophecy? Revelation 17:15
4. What does wind represent in prophecy? Jeremiah 49:35-37
NOTE: In the Bible wind can represent strife, commotion and war. See Jeremiah 25:31-33 and Zechariah 7:14.
5. What resulted from this strife? Daniel 7:3
6. What was represented by these beasts? Daniel 7:17
NOTE: Since four universal kingdoms were introduced in Chapter 2, covering all the time from Daniel to the time when Christ will set up his universal kingdom, we may know that these four beasts or animals represent the same kingdoms.
7. What beast represented Babylon, the first kingdom? Daniel 7:4
NOTE: We notice that the kingdom began with wings. This represented the speed with which Babylon under Nebudchadnezzar conquered nations. See Habukkuk 1:6 & 8.
8. What beast followed, representing the second kingdom? Daniel 7:5
NOTE: The ribs represented three provinces which were treated particularly harshly by the Persians: Babylon, Lydia, and Egypt.
9. What was the third beast like? Daniel 7:6
10. What did the fourth beast represent? Daniel 7:23
NOTE: At the battle of Pydna in 168 BC, Rome replaces Greece as the controlling world Empire.
11. What did the ten horns that came up out of this fourth beast represent? Daniel 7:24
NOTE: For over 100 years the barbarian tribes attacked Rome. Its fall was complete in AD 476, and Europe was divided into various sections, each ruled by a different barbarian tribe.
12. What came up after the first ten horns? Daniel 7:8
13. What change took place in the first ten horns? Daniel 7:24
NOTE: We see that in order for this new power to come in, three of the original kingdoms had to be subdued, or overthrown.
14. What kind of words did this horn speak? Daniel 7:25
15. How would this power treat God's true people? Daniel 7:25
16. What did this horn think he could change? Daniel 7:25
NOTE: This text could not mean that he would try to change the laws of men, because this happens all the time and wouldn't be anything unusual. If however, the law that he would try to change were God's law, then this attempt would be important, especially since Jesus said that not even the smallest part of the law would change, as long as heaven and earth remained. See Matthew 5:17-20.

Many insurance carriers are in an interesting position these days. They have aging solutions running on outdated platforms managed by a workforce nearing retirement. Many carriers, including some of the largest in the country, have solutions built and delivered decades ago by the very people that are still supporting them. These systems have been tactically enhanced over the years to attempt to deliver on the needs of the business community. Newer business requirements, such as an elegant user interface or Web enablement, require surround strategies to emulate the capabilities of modern systems.
Often the policy enterprise is a collection of poorly interfaced systems. Many of these current systems were built and delivered to support a regional business for a few lines. As the carriers grew, the scope of the system was gradually expanded for new states and new lines with other systems brought into the fold from acquisitions. Now, the regional carriers that grew to become national carriers have a different challenge encompassing a broader book of business than when they implemented their last policy processing system. Replacing a multijurisdictional, personal lines, commercial lines, and workers' compensation line solution is a much larger mission than a rollout of personal lines in a few states,.
An obvious solution is for system replacement and consolidation. Many carriers have investigated this option to bring together all their business onto one platform for all lines and all states, but stop short of actually starting a replacement project. The reason for this that I hear most is that the scope and cost of a complete replacement is too daunting to undertake and/or the time to rollout is too long.
There is no easy answer but the requirement to upgrade is inevitable. Carriers need to carefully consider:
1. The challenge they face of maintaining aging systems
2. Their ability to recruit and retain younger talent to support these systems
3. The benefits they would receive from a single, all-lines, all-states solution
A replacement project can take years to do and cost millions. Put into perspective: A three-year project for a replacement system that will be the enterprise system for the next 20 to 30 years is worth the effort.
Carriers need to review the details of a system replacement project and understand that there will be challenges ahead, but the effort is worth the reward in the end. Work carefully to develop a realistic implementation, training and rollout plan, and execute with ruthless precision.
In the end, a replacement project leads to lower IT costs, improved efficiency and higher customer satisfaction/retention.

Waiting for Food #3
More Restaurant Placemat Drawings
by R. Crumb
Here it is, the third collection of R. Crumb's acclaimed restaurant placemat drawings -- for less! We have come across a batch of brand new first printings of the first edition. As Crumb himself states in his forward, the originals of many of these grease stained, food splattered drawings have sold in galleries for thousands of dollars. Who would've thunk it?
Allow this collection to inspire you and your friends, loved ones and relatvies to make more constructive use of that time between ordering and eating!
Here's what the publisher has to say about it:
official hype
This is the third book in successful series of occasional sketches by the grandfather of American alternative comix. These sketches reveal another side-- a contemplative side-- to the controversial artist, renowned for his taboo-breaking satires of American society. With his intricate cross-hatching and observant line, the drawings here show Crumb as an imaginative chronicler of everyday life.
"Called "the Brueghel of the last half of the 20th century" by no less a skeptic than establishment art critic Robert Hughes, cartoonist R. Crumb has produced some of the smuttiest yet piercingly affecting and quintessentially American art since the 1960s." --Publishers Weekly
"One of the most prolific artists of his time" --Library Journal

In 2014 the New Hampshire General Court passed a new restriction on minor party access to the general election ballot by prohibiting a political organization from collecting petitions before the election year. The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire filed a lawsuit challenging this new law. A similar law in Rhode Island was struck down in 2009 because the sole claim by the Rhode Island government was "reducing the number of 'false positives'." In New Hampshire, that was the initial reason given for passage of the new law, however William Gardner changed the reasoning the rationale to prevent ballot clutter and to ensure that political parties have a current modicum of support.
On August 27, U.S. District Court Judge Paul Barbadoro upheld a 2014 New Hampshire lawclaiming "[the new law] imposes only a reasonable burden on ballot access that is outweighed by the State's interest in avoiding ballot clutter."
This is absurd! Richard Winger of Ballot Access News reports, "The New Hampshire party petition has existed since 1996 and only twice has any group ever managed to use it. It is one of the most difficult petition requirements in the nation, 3% of the last gubernatorial vote. Both times it was used, the party that used it, the Libertarian Party, took approximately a full year to get the job done. Now the circulation period has been cut in half."
Here are some of the lowlights of NH ballot access over the past decade:
In November 2014, New Hampshire was one of only five states with a Democratic-Republican ballot monopoly for all the statewide offices (the others were California, Alabama, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania).
In 2006, New Hampshire was one of only four states with a Democratic-Republican monopoly for all the statewide offices.
And in 2004, Libertarian Party presidential nominee Michael Badnarik was on the ballot in every state except New Hampshire and Oklahoma. The only non-Democratic-Republican statewide candidate on the ballot in 2004 was Ralph Nader. New Hampshire is also one of only ten states in which the Green Party has not been able to place its presidential nominee on the ballot in any of the last three presidential elections.
The ruling also seems to completely ignore the fact that Republican and Democratic Party Presidential candidates are filing candidacy forms in the year before the election; however the Libertarian Party and other parties seeking ballot access are barred from circulating nominating petitions during that same time period.
One thing is clear, New Hampshire voters are being harmed when alternative candidates and the ideas they represent are kept off the ballot!

The Ballot Access Fairness Coalition seeks to reform the ballot access laws in the State of New Hampshire so that all candidates are treated equally for ballot access purposes.

Last year, I wrote a blog post with tips for designers submitting proposals to us. You can read it here.
As we were discussing topics for future blog posts, it occurred to us that this is a natural jumping off point for a series of blog posts on the making of an edition. Often, people only see our call for submission and then, 9 months later (give or take) a beautiful new edition is born, but in that time, there's a lot going on.
So in the first, of an as-yet-undetermined number of blog posts, we'll be discussing the behind the scenes production cycle for creating an edition. You will be able to find all the posts here.
The first step of an edition, is setting the mood. If you flip through the pages of our magazine, you'll notice there are individual stories made up of seven to ten designs, all shot with a common theme. For instance, in our Spring/Summer 2012 edition, we pay homage both to April showers and the subsequent May Flowers.
April Showers Bring May Flowers, with a little peek at Regent, Ceylon and Caeles
In order to ensure we have designs that can be grouped together, our mood boards also feature themes. These themes may or may not relate to the final shoots. More about that in future posts.
Spring Summer 2012 Mood Board
Our mood boards don't focus on specific garment shapes or styles. We have found that when we put a garment in a mood board, we get tons of submissions that are just variations on that design and while there's nothing wrong with that, it feels like it actually limits people's creativity instead of sparking it. Instead, we focus on feelings like, top-left: light and airy or bottom-right: texture. We might want people to think of a technique in a new way like top-right: lace, or design for a situation like bottom-left: poolside. When an idea cannot be literally translated into a design, we find that people abstract the concept into something that is uniquely their own. It's always inspiring to see what people have come up with.
With the mood board together and instructions included, we package everything up into a PDF. We send a link to the PDF to everyone who has signed up to receive our calls for submissions, and we post about it in the Designers group over on Ravelry.
We generally give people about a month to create a sketch, swatch and brief description of each of their proposals.
We would love to hear what you think of our behind the scenes series of blog posts, or any of our other posts. To get in on the discussion join us on Facebook.
