Technical litigation support services are offered by law firms that employ technical staff. These consist of engineers, technicians and also scientists who are also preferably experts in law. It is very essential that all aspects of any event and its technical details be well understood before litigation. It is the duty of the lawyer to present a very comprehensive explanation and details that are technical must be presented in such a simple manner that even the not so technical jury also can understand and appreciate it. This is why the animation and graphic reconstruction based technical litigation support services are sought and it can make the difference between winning and loosing a case for the client.
Imagine a certain road accident involving a truck on a bridge. The entire event can be recreated using animation graphics and one can explain and prove/disprove the fault of the driver or pedestrian after analysis. This requires technical support from graphic specialists and animators who have to gather all the relevant data and recreate the accident in such a way that it creates the required impact in court by proving a point technically. Some of the other areas of technical litigation support include,
- Industrial
- Marine
- Medical
- Amusement
- Products liability
- Aviation
- Crime/forensic
Managed Outsource Solutions (MOS) is a US based legal outsourcing firm and offers a wide range of legal services besides technical litigation support like, legal transcription, legal research, legal documentation, legal web design and legal consulting.

A new system of certification is being launched which is intended to make the cosmetic surgery industry safer for patients.
The RCS is urging all surgeons who perform cosmetic surgical procedures to apply for certification.
The new system for surgeons will help patients to identify a surgeon with the appropriate training and experience to perform a specific procedure, in different parts of the country.
Cosmetic surgery is not a defined surgical specialty and historically there haven't been common standards available to the surgeons who perform it. The new system of certification will address this and allow the public and employers to distinguish highly qualified, experienced individuals, from those who are working without adequate insurance or the necessary specialist training.
To receive certification surgeons will have to provide evidence of their training, professional skills, clinical skills, knowledge and experiences. They will also have to attend an RCS accredited professional behaviours masterclass.
Professional and ethical aspects of practice including the relationship with the patient are the most common reasons for unsatisfactory outcomes in cosmetic surgery. Therefore demonstration of knowledge and skills in this area is an integral part of the certification process.
Mr Stephen Cannon, Chair of the Cosmetic Surgery Interspecialty Committee (CSIC) and Vice President of the Royal College of Surgeons, said: "You only have to page through the adverts in lifestyle magazines to know cosmetic surgery is a booming industry in the UK. However, what many don't know is that the law currently allows any doctor – surgeon or otherwise – to perform cosmetic surgery in the private sector.
"The RCS believes this certification system will help patients to find a certified surgeon, who has the appropriate training and experience to carry out a procedure such as a tummy tuck or nose job. We also hope it will improve the reputation of a profession which at times comes under intense criticism in the media, sometimes with good reason."
Following Sir Bruce Keogh's Review of the Regulation of Cosmetic Interventions, the Royal College of Surgeons was asked to set up a Cosmetic Surgery Interspecialty Committee (CSIC) to make cosmetic surgery safer for patients.
In response to this, and in consultation with members of the CSIC, the Royal College of Surgeons agreed to develop a certification system for surgeons performing cosmetic surgical procedures.

Here's a key fact -- perhaps the key fact -- to know as Republicans enter their critical and potentially decisive run up to South Carolina's "First in the South" primary on Saturday: Since 1980, when Ronald Reagan supporters invented the primary there, South Carolina voters have picked the eventual winner of the GOP nomination every time. For that matter, they've picked the Democratic nominee every time but once, in 2004, when they remained loyal to South Carolina native John Edwards.
South Carolina is the home of anti-federal sentiment going back to the 1820s, and the birthplace of the modern, Southern-based GOP thanks to figures like Strom Thurmond, Roger Milliken and Lee Atwater.
The state is to modern Republicanism what Mecca is to Islam: a holy place of its founding history, feuds, orthodoxy and authority.
Before 1980, South Carolina had selected its delegates by convention, a suitably elitist and tightly controlled situation for local Republicans. But seeking an early boost in what had become a Southern-based party, Reagan operatives and loyalists engineered the switch to a primary system. Reagan won in 1980 and was on his way to the White House.
A win now by Romney -- a Yankee, a relative moderate, an Ivy Leaguer and a Mormon -- would be the ratification he desperately needs from voters who, so far, still regard him with mere tolerance at best and deep antagonism and suspicion at worst.
To be sure, Romney can still slog on to the nomination if he loses South Carolina. The Florida primary, 10 days later, is a mega-state event in which only he and Ron Paul have the in-house resources to compete.
But losing the Palmetto State, given its history and what is likely to be a big turnout, would reinforce a narrative Romney can ill-afford: that he's a likely nominee by default, resented and unloved.
"South Carolina is the rubber match and always is," said Charlie Black, a Romney adviser and one of the original architects of the primary. "The voters there are not all evangelicals, by the way. The voters tend to pick the mainstream conservative over the insurgent."
That's true: the South Carolina primary did no endorse Pat Buchanan, Pat Robertson or John McCain in his 2000 outsider bid.
With Jon Huntsman out of the race and endorsing him, Romney has a chance to slip past what remains a divided insurgent conservative opposition.
Romney campaign insiders claim to be more worried about a last-minute surge by Rick Santorum, who won the endorsement of key evangelicals over the weekend, than about Newt Gingrich, who is currently running in second place in the composite polls.
"I'd watch Santorum," Black said.
If Romney wins, it's likely to be with less than one-third of the vote -- hardly a ringing endorsement. Nationally, his numbers are rising quickly, but he still wins the support of barely a third of registered Republicans, and in polls as recently as last week, 58 percent of GOP voters said that they wished other candidates were in the race.
But there aren't. Mitt Romney is available -- which, once again, may be just good enough.

St John A 4 v WDHA Royals 6
St Johns A, with a very unkind early fixture list, slumped to their 3rd successive defeat. Jon Perkins again failed to register but although well beaten by Abin Islam in the opener, was somewhat unlucky in going down 9-11 in the 5th to Virat Patel and 11-9, 7-11, 11-13, 13-15 to Nitin Patel. The key match to the result was game 2, where Virat gained the 1st leg of his treble in a 11-7, 8-11, 11-13, 11-8, 11-6 win over Grant Timms. Timms won both his other sets against Islam and Nitin Patel and the hosts gained a further set with Pete Boustred winning out 11-7, 6-11, 13-11, 12-10 over Nitin. Surprisingly the hosts opted for Perkins and Boustred combination in the doubles and they upheld their selection with a 11-7, 8-11, 11-8, 11-8 doubles win over Islam and Virat Patel.
Westfield B 0 v Wanderers A 10
Although fielding reserve Paul Goodman, the visitors were only extended in their first singles and doubles. Goodman won out in 5, 11-6, 11-7, 4-11, 9-11, 11-8 over Westfield B's Mark Thomas and he together with Charlie Morrow, extended Andy Law ans Tony Wharton before bowing out 11-8, 9-11, 13-11, 7-11, 7-11 in the doubles. Charlie Clements had a poor night faileg to gain a leg and the visitors, at this early stage look likely title contenders.
Thrapston A 1 v Chesterwell A 9
In past seasons with a much stronger line-up the hosts tended to underperform against Chesterwell A and their heavy defeat was no surprise. Steve West, surprisingly took Stan Galkowski to 5 in the opener, going down 14-16 in the 5th and Chris Warliker saw off the same player 11-9, 12-10, 6-11, 11-5. Warliker fought hard taking Mike Pond to 5, losing out 8-11 but with Alan Tyler, well off pace and West performing poorly in his other two singles, the visitors cruised home.
Wanderers A 5 v Westfield A 5
In a match between the current champions and a side likely to challenge strongly, a fiercely fought draw occurred. Travis Holly, one of the League's most improved players had a dreadful night, failing to register or gain a leg. This was cancelled out by Kevin Bird, scoring an almost clean, inevitable treble. Patryk Polanski went down 11-13 in the 5th to Andy Law and 5-11, 5-11, 11-8, 8-11 to Tony Wharton leaving the doubles to decide the match. Bird and Polanski won out 11-4, 9-11, 5-11, 11-8, 11-8 over Wharton and Law to ensure honours even all round.
Wanderers B 8 v Higham Band A 2
Further maximums from Wanderers' Paul Goodman and Stewart Williams sees the league leaders extend their lead at the top of the table to a handsome 20 points with Bob Hickson's fine double helping his team to a solid 8-2 victory. Nigel Magee supplied the visitors' only singles victory of the night before joining Pete Martin to secure an unexpected doubles victory over Wanderers' Goodman & Hickson in a 5 set thriller !
Chesterwell B 8 v Wanderers C 2
Chesterwell recorded the division's second 8-2 scoreline of the week with this somewhat surprising defeat of the Wanderers who sat 6 places above them in the league before this encounter. Maxine Shears, now back to her best, fired her second treble in successive weeks and was matched by team-mate Luke Hughes who recorded his third maximum on the trot. Clare Coles, playing up from her C team, chipped in with a single win whilst Tony Wallis and Carl Singh both gained single wins for the visitors. Shears & Hughes finally completed a good night's work by seeing off Wallis & Singh in the doubles in 4 sets.
Higham Harriers B 4 v WDHA Superkings 6
The Superkings gained a good away victory over the Harriers, mainly thanks to a great maximum from Dev Patel, his first of the season. He was well backed up with 2 wins from Tarun Mistry and a single from Himanshu Ganatra. Mick Malins carded an excellent double for the Harriers, winning both of his games 13-11 in the 5th set whilst Bob Collyer added a further single win. Collyer & Neil Stevens finally came out on top after a 5 set doubles victory over Mistry & Ganatra, having lost 2 of the first 4 games 11-2.
Stanwick VHTTC 6 v Old Grammarians A 4
Stanwick made it 5 wins out of 5 but were made to fight every inch of the way to secure their victory. Having been 4-1 down after the first 5 games, the visitors bravely fought back to level the scores at 4-4 before Stanwick's Ian Baldock completed his 4th maximum of the season to put the home team ahead. Another double from Geoff Neville helped Stanwick preserve their unbeaten record and he later teamed up with Baldock to take the doubles and seal the win. Martyn Reeves fired a great double for the visitors to go with single wins from Phil Laurence & Mick Ball but it wasn't quite enough in what turned out to be a very tight match.
Chesterwell D 0 v WDHA Challengers C 10
Challengers C move into joint 2nd place although they have played one extra match. All available points going to Daniel Bain, Kishan Mistry and Kavish Dodhia, including the 3 default points from Chesterwell D, who were once again struggling to field a full team. Gavin Birmingham, despite scoreless on the night, took Dodhia to 5 before losing out and also losing to Daniel Bain 10-12 in his opening set.
Old Grammarians B 9 v WDHA Rising Stars 1
The Old Grammarians are leading the table by 2 points with David Bayes and Adrian Howes recording hat tricks, Roger Fleming weighed in with a brace after losing to Rising Stars Ansh Shah 9-11, 11-2, 11-8, 11-13, 7-11. Thre other sets needed a 5th end decider, but they all went the way of home team.
Higham Band B 1 v Higham Harriers C 9
Band B were surprised this week to come away with only a single point from a lower ranked side. Harriers C's triplets, Oli, Matt and Katie Hicks outperformed their opponents with Oli and Matt securing fine hat tricks, whilst Kate settled for a double as she went down 11-6 in the 4th to Deirdre Kiziak. Kate also worked hard for her point against Devlin Whitmore winning out 11-6, 18-16, 9-11, 11-9. With Whitmore and John Yeates unable to score, the final point of the evening, a mere formality as Kiziak and Whitmore went down in 3 against Matt & Oli Hicks.
Wanderers D 7 v Wanderers E 3
Wanderers D are still joint second winning 7-3 against their club mates, with Roger Ellingham the only unbeaten player. Steve Hoole gave the most resistance with a 10-12, 10-12, 9-11 contest. Hoole also stopped Graham Babbage from registering a hat trick, winning out in three ends but was defeated in three ends by Mike Howorth. Dave May and Derek Shears taking their points against Howorth and the doubles was settled by the D side in a mammoth five set game with Ellingham and Babbage winning out 11-9, 9-11, 11-6, 9-11, 11-3 over Hoole and Shears.

public vs private pain
The other day I was doing some reading on intersexuality that raised a thought with regards to the extent and expression of misogyny in comics. The notion specifically, concerned public vs private pain, and its mapping onto the male/female dichotomy.
There's an idea in some work on intersexuality that when a doctor decides to undertake 'gender-corrective' surgery on a newborn infant, they do so on behalf of the transformation of pain from a public to a private sector. By and large, a greater number of these surgeries take place in order to turn a male infant into a female one, usually because the apparent construction of a simulated vagina is easier than the construction of a penis. The surgery again, in general terms, often takes place on males because the penis is deformed in some way; often size or the lack of it is the issue of deformity. Gods forbid a doctor let a male live his life with a socially unacceptable penis, he hacks it off, and makes a potentially visually convincing but nevertheless often physically unfeeling vagina in its place. The idea being that it will be easier for the individual to live life as a constructed female with a probably complicated and emotional sexual existence than as a male with some kind of 'deficiency'. (more or less a summary of a discussion between Peter Hegarty and Cheryl Chase from a Queer Theory text).
Public/private comes into it, because the male pain is the public one, the one that is recognised by the doctors, which is worried about, the pain of contravening the sanctity of the perfect penis. The suffering of the female the doctor thusly creates is private, simply because it is seen as the answer to the public problem, because she is sent away to grow up and make sense of it herself. For all intents and purposes, physically that female may appear convincing in a visual sense, but the possible suffering she might feel at the complications to her sex and reproductive life as created by the surgery will be the spectre to the image. And as a society, lets face it, we're still so incredibly discursively concerned with the sanctity of the male and the penis, and woefully disinterested in the pleasure and fulfilment of the female, that her suffering is likely to go unnoticed, especially along with the stigma against intersexed individuals. So her suffering is a private suffering because it is socially acceptable for her to suffer, because we have rendered a silence around the experiences of women in relation to men, as well as around intersexuality generally, and because, quite frankly, gender-corrective surgery is often undertaken without provision of mechanisms to discuss and cope with its results in later years. The suffering is private, because information becomes unavailable, because satisfaction with the doctor's results are deemed an expectation.
And how, exactly, does this bring me to comics? Well, I was (finally) giving the Batman: War Games storyline a read the other day, to understand firsthand the contentions and outright frustrations with the treatment of Stephanie's character. And as I read over that torture scene (complete with its gratuitous sexualisation of suffering), the thing that I couldn't get out of my head was just how alone Stephanie was. Throughout the torture it is dark, her whereabouts, even the fact that she is in danger, are all unknown to the rest of the cast. And when she finally frees herself, she is alone. There is no rescue, her suffering occurs in the dark, in private. Having yet to read the third act, I found myself hoping that someone might find her, if only to give her comfort, to make her suffering an open affair, to provide some kind of in-story reaction to the horror of the torture. Then I thought over the previous issues, and Spoiler's diary-entry-like monologues. Again she is a loner, her thoughts and fears are internal, are private. And in the very act of dying in the end (as I know she will do) her suffering is ultimately private, it is her death, no one else's.
But what public pain is it that is being satisfied and transformed into her private one? Perhaps it is that pain of having a female Robin, some broken sanctity of male superiority? Or possibly it is Batman's pain, being the central (and Public) character, in the form of his dissatisfaction with her, his preoccupation with Tim, being appeased. Perhaps it is the Public pain of what it means to have a strong female character in comics, or at least an interesting one, because Gods forbid we let them usurp their male counterparts? Perhaps that is the big public pain of all misogyny in comics that spurs on the private pains of so many female characters.
I wonder if it is possible to apply that conundrum to other misogynistic occurrences in comic books? Is Jade's death, and subsequent empowering of Kyle a literal image of how the public pain of a female lantern is sublimated by killing her, and then returning the power to the male character?
I'm not trying to be too literal here, I know its not like this is some motivating force behind the writing of female characters in comics. But I wonder if it's a useful way of looking at the facets of misogyny in comics? Any thoughts?

So, I can't offer much direct input into the immediate discussion here as I haven't read the comic upon which you talk about, or heard the surrounding furore, but I do have two things to mention.
Firstly this is an excellently written piece, I understand what you are talking about without having read the primary material. I also thank you for enlightening me to the initial information about Gender reassignment in infants. This is one of many, many things that have been on the edge of my knowledge for years, but never bought to the fore by any direct information or commentary (its hard to find out about everything on your own..which is why I love the webternet so much), so thanks for that.
Secondly, and perhaps as an expression of hope, even if it is from a 'mature' comic that is already considered much more literary than others, Neil Gaiman's Sandman. As you talked about the transference of public male pain to the private female, all i could think of was the story of Wanda in the 'A game of you' story arc. specifically the bold image in the 'epilogue' where the dead Wanda, a transwoman cast out by her family, is buried in the grave her family pay for, under a headstone bearing the given name of Alvin. Wanda's friend Barbie commits one final (if temporary) act of rebellion by writing Wanda on the headstone in Lipstick. The word washes away in the rain, but this is not the point I want to focus on here. Essentially the family are only willing to express their grief for losing Alvin, who they feel they lost years ago. For them the only public pain allowable is that felt for the male, not the female. (I know this is a different point to yours, but I'm just bringing it up because an interesting parallell). Anyway, They must conceal the feminine side of their Alvin, and ignore Wanda's existence. Barbie feels this is a betrayal far too great, and insists that the female element of the pain, felt by her (and represented by Wanda herself, the woman that is no longer Alvin) be made public with the lipstick scrawl removing the Alvin identity and replaciong it, even briefly, with Wanda. I just couldn't get the image out of my head while you were discussing this and thought you might be interested.
Thanks again for the article, enlightening and fascinating. Sorry if i've gone off topic a wee bit.

firstly, thank you so much for the support and interest, i am ever grateful!
The early part of the text on gender reassignment is something quite new to me too, and the piece i read was both enlightening and resonating, so if you want a reference for it i'd be more than happy to give it. My own interests usually centre on queer theory and poststructuralism in general, but increasingly transgendered issues are becoming a part of that rubric (as i feel they should be) and thusly I'm getting exposed to more and more. I'm glad to feel I've perhaps done some justice to the work I've been reading, in extending that interest to you.
Secondly, this is entirely ironic. For the past month i have actually taken it upon myself to read the entire Sandman library, in graphic novel form, from beginning to end, having read none before. I've been renting them from the library, and finished 'A Game of You' about a week or two ago, which is convenient for understanding what you're discussing! I've been trying to find a place for it in my thinking, it prompted a lot of feeling in me at the time, but nothing i could form into words. Your analysis however, has definitely given me more of a way in. The ending concerning Wanda initially angered and disappointed me, and i think perhaps that was something to hang on to, if only for inspiration.
The significance of the naming and renaming, the 'Alvin' in stone, the 'Wanda' in lipstick...there's so much there i perhaps will reserve it for a future posting here on the blog. But indeed, it definitely fits within the rubric of the public vs private pain idea, and also shows us the ways in which we might make expressions that defy that logic, making our private pains public, subverting the public pain and the idea of its legitimacy....so much to say :)
It seems to be a nice case of Gaiman pointing out misogyny in his text, and then attempting to undermine its legitimacy.
so, no apologies needed, and thank you so much for your time!

I think you're right that Transgender is so fascinating in regard to poststructuralist thought. The instability of identity is demonstrated so well by the ability of people to change it so totally. Keep up the good work, I look forward to anything you have left to write on this issue.
As for 'A game of you' I think I shared some of your frustration about it, I think there's a layer of interpretation available that isn't as open. For a start, the stone/lipstick combination seems to diminish the actual shift of identity. The male identity is set in stone with the female only drawn on impermanently. This seems especially true in relation to the earlier fact of Wanda not being allowed to follow to the dream world because the moon cannot accept her as a woman. I think however that the transference of pain and the making public of it is the key to look at this, and don't get too down about it, as Wanda appears with Death at the end, looking 'like Glinda, from Wizard of Oz' and wholly woman. Hopefully this doesn't have to be in death for all transgender people.
Once again, thanks and keep it up.

When in Rome…get a "hair experience". I have had two "Roman" hair cuts in the past two years.
Last year, my hair experience was at Jean Louis David's Salon….
Just a few steps from Campo di Fiori in Rome I found THE place to get my hair cut. I had been searching…maybe more like eyeing up every hair salon (parruchieri) that we walked by. Luigi's comment was "Are you sure you're brave enough to get a hair cut in Rome?" Why not? It will be another first, plus, I was going to do this alone… yeah right.
I walked through the doors of the Jean Louis David Salon and asked the cool looking male receptionist if he spoke English. He said "Yezzzzzzzzzz". I asked if I could get my hair cut. He said "Yezzzzzzzz". Perfect English. I asked if I needed an appointment etc. He said… well, he didn't say anything. He looked at me with a blank "I don't have a clue what you just said" look. Luigi came to my rescue.
There was no backing out. I was in the hands of Ivan, the Stylist. I don't know what happened to Jean or Louis or David. I got Ivan. I had Luigi translating to both Ivan, the stylist and Raffaele, the cool receptionist, that I was a little nervous about my haircut. The discussion went on for a good five minutes before I was finally whisked off to the shampoo chair.
Luigi was going to leave me there… in the hands of Ivan, the Stylist and Raffaele, the cool "yezzzzzzzz" man, but he decided to stay and bring out his camera to "shoot" the cut, at the same time acting as an interpreter.
This turned Ivan, the Stylist into Ivan, the Actor.
I think he missed his calling. There I was, sitting there, letting Ivan "perform" and in the mirror I could see Luigi snapping photos, Raffaele, the cool "yezzzzzzzz" man standing beside Ivan, the Actor/Stylist, watching the performance, as well as another cool looking (but unnamed) stylist. Oh yeah… I also spotted a lady obviously in the middle of having her hair dyed sneak over to see what the show was all about. I have to admit Ivan was entertaining. My haircut? I have had better, but none as entertaining.
Things never change. This year, once again my hair was out of control. Not long after arriving in Rome, Luigi and I walked past the Jean Louis David Salon to check on Ivan, the Sylist. Ivan had moved on… maybe into acting? In fact, the salon name had changed too. But Mr. Cool Receptionist was still there.
That's okay, I found José in Trastevere. I dragged Mr. Translator/Interpreter to "Taverna Di Bellezza" (who names a Hair Salon "Taverna"?) to get a "taglio capelli" appointment. Done. I was then in the Italian hands of Mara, the Stylist. José was booked so Mara, the Stylist swooped me up. It appeared that her English vocabulary was limited to "O-kay". When Luigi and I walked in for my appointment, half the staff rushed to greet me/us… none speaking English. I was reassured that one staff member spoke English…kind of. She did nails, feet and moustaches – not hair. Great.
Luigi was not allowed to go home. I was put in the chair to wait while Luigi went from Italian to English to Italian trying to translate "foils", "highlights" etc. He did amazingly well. I was approached by the kind of English speaking Esthetician. "Do you want a manicure?" "No". "Pedicure?" "No"…but I point to my overgrown eyebrows. She got it. In a few minutes, without leaving Mona, the Stylist's chair, I had perfect eyebrows.
Mara, the Stylist took overhand Luigi was "off duty". Two hours and still working on the "foils" Mara, the Stylist said "Tanti capelli!" (lots of hair!). After almost four hours in the hands of Mara, I was highlighted, cut, dried and hair sprayed to a crisp. I liked my haircut and would recommend Mara but I would also like to try José. Next time.
Luigi had returned to the "Taverna" to pick me up so before we left the salon I suggested he make an appointment with José, the Stylist. He said "No way, José"

In Madrid's buzzy and Bohemian literary quarter, close to the Thyssen and a short walk from Atocha station for high-speed trains to Seville.
Not its strong point, despite the owners' decision to give this 48-room hotel a wine theme (their second, marginally more upscale hotel, Lope de Vega, has a literary motif).
Spotless and functional, with compact bathrooms. Some rooms have balconies, small plasma TVs and wifi connection. Room quality does vary. Room 407 is more attractive than most.
Skip the hotel breakfast and go to a local bar for a café solo con churros.
We like
The young and perky all-female staff. The fun location, with endless tapas bars on the doorstep and tempting boutiques.
Not so keen
The cramped lobby, with its deluge of tacky tourist leaflets; the noisy tiled corridors.

Hotels in Madrid
Surprisingly for a country renowned for its rich individuality, many of Madrid's hotels are modern chains, rather than beguiling one-offs, and this is especially true of the areas close to the city's museum triangle. This is not as depressing as it sounds: standards tend to be high and pricing fair. But the lack of character and personal touches can make the experience feel a little anonymous and bland. But does it matter? Madrid is a city that never sleeps and life is out there on its streets. Spain's capital is a very walkable city. The key thing is to find a bed in an area you like, dump your luggage in your room and head out into the city.
Getting there
British Airways ( 0844 493 0787; www.ba.com) flies to Madrid from Heathrow, Gatwick and London City airport. Prices from £95 return. Other airlines include Iberia (flights from Heathrow start at £108.50 return) and easyJet (www.easyjet.com), which flies to Madrid from Gatwick and Luton.

The purchase process – what to expect and the value your lawyer adds
Below is a helpful summary of the process of the purchase of a property and what a conveyancing/ property lawyer will do for you as the purchaser.
Pre- Agreement
It is always advisable to have a contract checked by your lawyer before you sign it, especially for contracts where there are amendments to the standard terms or there are uncommon Further Terms of Sale. However, many clients sign before having it checked by a lawyer due to time constraints. Which although may secure the acceptance of an offer, can lead to purchasers being locked into badly written Agreements.
If you have found a property to purchase without an Agent and you want your lawyer to draw up the Agreement for Sale and Purchase for you, this can be done so long as you give your lawyer the necessary details – the property address, who the vendor is, what you and the vendor have discussed as a purchase or price and settlement date. Your lawyer can then ensure that the appropriate conditions are entered into the Agreement to protect you.
If you are purchasing through an Agent and want us to act for you, you would put down the name and details of one of our property team on the back details page of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase. The members of our property team can be found by looking on our website under 'Contacts' or by emailing our support team. It is best to either email or call to check that the lawyer you have chosen is available to do the work.
Your solicitor will then receive the contract, either from the real estate agent and check through it, noting such things as: the purchase price, deposit, the key dates for the satisfaction of any conditions, the settlement date and the terms and conditions of the contract. After checking these details with you, your lawyer will then start the process of getting the conditions (if any) ticked off. The purchaser needs to arrange such things as their finance, insurance and a building report. Your lawyer will require you to send them the insurer's certificate of currency and your lender's letter of confirmation of funds. Both documents need to specify your full name(s), the address of the property being purchased, and the dates of cover. The solicitor will do such things as order and check the LIM Report and title and report to you on the key information. Your solicitor will also check through the EQC and insurance claims information where applicable.
Going unconditional
Generally, once all the conditions for an Agreement have been satisfied (ie the Agreement is signed by both parties and the conditional period for being satisfied with the LIM, finance, insurance etc is up), the contract becomes unconditional. (An agreement signed at auction will also be unconditional due to the finance and other such matters having been satisfied and ready by the purchaser before bidding).
Once unconditional, both parties are then essentially locked into the agreement and the purchase will be going ahead. In practice, the deposit is usually paid when the contract becomes unconditional – to the trust account of either the vendor's solicitor or the real estate agent.
The lawyers for each side then begin preparing what is necessary for the transfer of title. The lawyer for the purchaser sets up the edealing in the Land Information New Zealand online database (LINZ) (an online dealing that transfers the title from the vendors to your names using the online property system).
The vendor's solicitor sends their settlement statement – a document that goes through how much money in total is required to purchase the property. Usually the final settlement figure would be made up of the purchase price minus the deposit (if paid), and the apportionments of rates between the parties. The purchaser reimburses the vendor for the amount of rates for each day they are in the property that the vendor has already paid for (for instance, if the vendor has paid the whole of the 4th instalment of rates but settlement occurred midway through that instalment, the purchaser would reimburse the vendor for the rates paid from settlement to the end of the instalment). It is all accounted for in the final settlement amount.
Your lawyer go through the following with you before settlement in order to have everything in place:
- Your loan documents sent to them by your lender. Your lawyer would then prepare and advise you on the loan agreement before you sign them. The lawyer has an obligation to both you and the bank and has to protect the bank's interest by ensuring that they have fully disclosed the loan details to you so that when you sign them, you are fully informed.
- Other settlement documents that must be signed before settlement such as the signing of a Client Instruction and Authority form and the Deed of Assignment of EQC claims.
- Your lawyer will go through the finances with you. This includes going through the settlement statement and a trust statement. A trust statement shows the debits and credits for your matter, with credits being such things as a mortgage advance or funds for the purchase received from you, and debits include such things as disbursements, legal fees, and other costs. The trust statement will show you how much you need to transfer to your solicitor's trust account by the settlement day in order to settle. It is common practice for all costs and fees, and of course the settlement figure to be deducted from the settlement funds provided. If any extra funds are needed from you to top-up the amount you're receiving from the mortgage, your solicitor will give you advanced notice as the solicitor will need those funds in their trust account as cleared funds at least one day prior to settlement, to ensure they have them there ready to be used. It is imperative that all funds are ready to be used as any delays in settlement caused by the purchaser will incur penalties.
Settlement day
On the settlement day, your solicitor will receive confirmation from the bank that the loan amount agreed to has been transferred to the firm's trust account. Your lawyer will then ensure that the settlement funds required by the vendors has been transferred to their lawyers trust account and undertakings that this transfer has been done will be sent. All costs will also be paid off such as LINZ fees, rates, legal fees and other disbursements if applicable. Once the vendor's solicitor has received confirmation of the settlement funds being received, they must authorise the release the keys to you and also release the title on Land Information New Zealand so that your names go on in place of where the vendor's names had been. Your lawyer would ensure that the names are changed and that the mortgage is registered. The property is then yours!
Having an experienced and dedicated property lawyer is vital in ensuring that the purchase process goes as smoothly as possible and that your interests as the purchaser are protected.

What an amazing journey I have traveled in the past & I still continue to travel on. I discovered the ancient art of yoga during one of my military training deployments in 2007. It helped me cope with the stress and the ever-changing fast pace of the military life. Middle Eastern Dance has been close to my heart from a very young age. Growing up in Syria I believed that following the rhythms of the drums was part of everybody's life. Combining the extended breath work of yoga with the flowy nature of my yogic dance movements opened up my heart, spirit and physical well being. Deploying to Iraq in 2008 & Afghanistan in 2010 made me realize that sharing my love of yoga and dance had an incredible healing power to other soldiers and I knew then that I wanted to continue to teach classes upon my return to the US. After returning from Afghanistan in 2011 I started developing a plan to open a yoga and world dance studio in Fayetteville, NC. In 2013 after 17 years of serving in the U.S. Army as a Chief Warrant Officer I devoted my life to sharing a piece of my culture, combined with my professional training and foundation in Yoga, Middle Eastern, lyrical, jazz & hip-hop dance, I created " Hayat Yoga & World Dance Arts".
Some of my training includes: 500hr RYT Advanced Yoga Teacher Training with Dharma (currently attending) ◊ 230hrs RYT Asheville Yoga Center, NC with Stephanie Keach ◊ Yoga Warriors International, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder focused ◊ Ayurvedic Treatments with Dr. Neil, Goa, India ◊ BatsB Barre Teacher Training Program Pilates Sports Center ◊ Hot Yoga Teacher certification course Level 1 Aura Wellness Center ◊ Complete Certified Meditation Teacher Course Aura Wellness Center ◊ 40hrs Egypt Dance 1 & 2 with Sahra Saeeda Washington, DC ◊ Level 1 Certification Suhaila International Belly dance Academy Atlanta, GA ◊ 40hrs BellyFit Instructor Training ◊10 Days Dance Intensive with Bozenka Crete, Greece 2011 & 2012 ◊ 7 Days Dance Intensive with Aziza Montreal, Canada◊
I started practicing yoga in 2001 before my sophomore year in high school by watching a yoga class on a television show. It was initially a great form of exercise but quickly became more than that; yoga helped me to cope with the changes that occurred in my life at that time through concentration and meditation. Since then, I mostly practiced in solitude until regularly attending group classes in 2014 while completing my master's degree in I/O psychology. Soon after graduating, I started teaching yoga classes and received my 200hr RYT from Hayat's teacher training.
Kelli's yoga journey began in the late 90's while living in Chicago, she stumbled into a bikram heated class and never looked back as her life at the time was fast paced, high stress, as she traveled the country for over 18 years in the Corporate Cosmetic Industry, a career she found very rewarding and demanding.
Yoga became her peace and quiet place, and quite addictive as in those cold winters had her on her mat at 6 am most days. Originally the practice was all physical and it wasn't until years later after letting her yoga practice go while living an even busier live in NYC, she relocated to Atlanta where she found a home studio a few blocks from her new life and she was hooked once again, this time it was life changing enough to push her to leave corporate and journey with her family a 3 and 1 year old to the jungle of Nosara Costa Rica where she studied at the Nosara Yoga Institute under Don and Amba Stapleton in 2010. Grateful for the process and the support of her mentors, she finally found her home, that was already there inside waiting to come undone, her love of yoga grew as she connected with Bhakti Yoga, chanting, multi dimensional teaching and healing ourselves thru this practice on a cellular level.
Returning from Costa Rica, kelli taught in Atlanta for a year at Nirvana Yoga and returned to Fayetteville after 20 years, finally coming home, she taught for 5 years at Embrace Yoga studio. In fall of 2016 she began another journey to attend her 300 hour teacher training program with Yoga landing in Chattanooga, TN under Jessica Jolie. She is active on faculty at Hayat Yoga Shala and teaches public classes as well as privates. In addition she is the owner and director of Pure Phoenix Cleanse and Wellness where she practices and facilitates assisting her clients in lifestyle change and Colon Hydrotherapy.
In her yoga classes, you'll find laughter, tears, strength and down to earth lessons as she loves music, mythology and astrology , her vinyasa flow classes are full of passion as her love for ashtanga and kundalini woven together to create the flow of self inquiry.
Clay discovered yoga during the final years of his military career. Having served 23 years in the Army (16 years with Special Operations), several injuries kept him from the normal physical activities. From the suggestion of his wife, Clay attended his first yoga class in 2012. Clay soon discovered that yoga provided him the coping mechanisms to manage disabilities and allowed him to remain physically and mentally fit. After several years of practicing Vinyasa style yoga, Clay began the journey into advanced
movements and inversions. He now incorporates those movements and inversions into his personal practice. Embracing his failures and achievements in this journey, Clay shares that experience through workshops and guided classes for those seeking an increased challenge in their own practice. When his free time permits, Clay provides free classes to military and veterans.

Nine years ago I wanted to be a better rock climber because I didn't have any upper body strength. A friend told me I should try yoga to get stronger. Little did I know, before my first yoga class that this is where I would find healing and strength in every area of my life.
After five years of practicing daily and falling in love with my yoga hobby I decided to share it with the world around me! I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training in Encinitas, California from Core Power Yoga. I have been teaching in studios, gyms, and giving private lessons starting in 2013! I believe each of us is here on Earth to be the best version of ourselves and to live fully alive!! Yoga is a deeply beautiful tool that will enable you to find wholeness spiritually, emotionally, relationally, physically, and mentally. Please join me on your mat in this adventure of life!
I love to dance. Dance has "saved" my life on more than one occasion. In 2015 I once again sought rhythmic movement to find the answers to confusion and loss in my life . However, it was my love of dance that began my yoga journey. In February, I met Hayat while Latin dancing and then I started coming to the studio to practice. As I was trying to put the pieces of my life back together yoga began to be that glue. In January of 2016 I began the Yoga Garden Teacher Training here at the Hayat Yoga World Dance Arts. As the mysteries of yoga were unchained for me, so were the self- imposed chains in my life. As an act of gratitude to the universe for the blessings bestowed upon, my teaching journey begins in this same studio. I teach (school aged) Kids Yoga, Hot Flow and Yin. See you on your Mat.
Four years ago, Mariah began yoga as a hobby, but quickly realized it was so much more than just physical exercise. Since than Mariah has received her 200 RYT from Be Kind Yoga Teacher Training at The Yoga Pilates Barre, NC. To Mariah, yoga is about finding a connection between the body, mind and spirit. With guided meditations and vinyasa flows, she aspires to help people find that connection in a playful and welcoming environment. Being upside down is Mariah's favorite way to view the world so inversions are always offered and encouraged.
In her free time you can find Mariah hula hooping, arranging her crystals, cooking, blending essential oils, or simply hanging out with her family and friends.
Mariah's goal in life is to use yoga as a tool to change people's lives as it did hers. It is to not only teach people who already love yoga but to teach the people who need it. To teach the people who are skeptical, who doubt their body's ability to bend, who do not know where to begin. For the ones who already have an understanding of yoga and it's benefits she wishes to inspire them by helping them deepen their practice with playfulness and freedom. Freedom to be who they are. There is no mask on the mat, only hope.
Tommye has been practicing yoga on and off for many years. It wasn't until she moved to California in 2012 and discovered Ashtanga that it really took hold. In 2016 she decided to formalize her practice by completing the 200 RYT through Hayat Yoga and World Dance Arts. She is also registered with Yoga Alliance. Yoga has provided her with an abundance of self growth, mindful peace, spiritual healing and a more positive outlook on life. She believes there is a yoga for everyone and would love to share it with you. "See you on the mat!"
Positive mind-positive vibes-positive life.
My yoga journey began in 2004. I bought Bryan Kest's Power yoga DVDs and started a home practice for physical fitness. I began to have a positive shift in my perspective and attitude, which I hadn't expected. This intrigued me and led me to delve deeper into yoga, creating a strong home practice.
On moving to Savannah, GA, in 2010, I joined Savannah Yoga Center and really thrived in group practice. I gained so much in self realization and connection to my spirit through yoga that I was compelled to take teacher training. I received my RYT 200 hr in May 2017 at Savannah Yoga Center, and shortly thereafter moved here to Fayetteville.
I am a military spouse, an emergency room nurse of 9 years, and a mother. Yoga has helped me undertand and work through the stress and chaos in my life, and I feel it is my dharma to help others understand themselves and attain peace through yoga. I am excited to bring my knowledge and inspiration gained through my practice, teacher training, and retreats to the mat. In my personal practice, I love backbending and arm balances. When teaching, I love to share creative and introspective flows. I also love to lead yoga nidra classes for deep relaxation. I would be honored to have you come practice with me…I truly believe yoga is for everyone!
Sandra Doherty Healy (E-RYT 200, RYT 500) discovered yoga in 2000 when the challenges of juggling a career & graduate studies prompted her to explore pathways to alleviate stress. Sandra's yogic journey began at the NYC Sivananada Yoga Vedanta Center & since then Sandra has studied other forms of yoga to include Yin, iRest® Yoga Nidra, & her personal favorite Ashtanga Vinyasa.
The peace Sandra gained from her daily Ashtanga practice proved essential during her multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. While engaged in her own personal practice at the gym, soldiers, often yoga novices, would ask if they could join her and quickly an informal yoga community emerged. A few times each week these gatherings offered participants a tranquil respite from the stress and tension of life in a war zone. Inspired by those who joined her on the mat, Sandra obtained her 200 RYT (Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher designation).
After her return from Afghanistan in 2011, Sandra continued her work with military personnel & became particularly interested in the benefits of yoga for individuals coping with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and combat-related injuries. Sandra is both a certified Level 1 iRest® Yoga Nidra & Yoga Warriors® teacher; both yoga techniques designed specifically to help release negative emotions, calm the nervous system, & develop a capacity to manage the stresses of daily life.
Sandra, along with her then fiancé Tim, decided to forgo a "traditional" honeymoon in 2012 & instead sojourned to India where she completed her 500 RYT with a focus on the Ashtanga Vinyasa system. Sandra has continued her yogic studies with Ashtanga teachers David Swenson & Kino MacGregor, as well as Vinyasa teachers Seane Corn & Dana Trixie Flynn.
Off the mat, Sandra is a former business strategist turned anthropologist & holds graduate degrees in Arab Studies and Anthropology from Georgetown University School of Foreign Service and the City University of New York.
Yoga has always been a part of my life but it wasn't until 2013 that my practice became more regular. My husband and I had recently moved to Germany and I decided to sign up for yoga teaching classes taught by YogaFit Training Systems Worldwide, INC. While attending, I had the pleasure of teaching yoga to the men and women returning home from Afghanistan in the Navy Warrior Transition program. In 2015 the military brought us to North Carolina where I obtained my 200hr RYT certification with Hot Asana Yoga University in Southern Pines. Recently I was offered the amazing opportunity to work at Hayat Yoga and World Dance Arts where I will be teaching a variety of classes.
Yoga is my passion. It is something I have always been completely infatuated with. Yoga is different to everyone. For me, it has helped me accept myself as I am and it has taught me to be patient with myself, and others around me. To me, yoga means staying focused on the present moment and being grateful for even the smallest things in life. Yoga reminds me that we are all students. In a life where the only constant is change, yoga allows me to find stillness and to create space for beauty in discomfort. It allows me to deepen my understanding of myself, and allows me to enable self-growth.
In teaching at Hayat Yoga Shala, I hope to help others find their own meaning of yoga. I hope to create a space where students can come to relax, sweat and unwind while finding their inner peace.
" Yoga is the dance of every cell, with the music of every breath that creates inner serenity and harmony." ~ Debasish Mridha
~ Namaste
Creating art is a state of mind, what you think and feel will inevitably show up in the outcome of your work. Much like how the attitude you bring to your yoga mat has an effect on your yoga practice. As an artist, I employ sculpture and printmaking primarily for their requirement of thought, planning and physicality when making work. I find the physical and mental demands of printmaking and sculpture similar to those of yoga.
To me, both yoga and art is about understanding the mind, the body and the connection we have to the world around us. It is about finding that moment of singularity through complete awareness. Through yoga and art making I am able to find this flow state. This state unites me with the moment and my genuine self. It is here that I find strength and understanding.
My objective in both art and yoga is to inspire those around me and myself to live up to our fullest potentials. As a yoga teacher I seek to guide students into their own flow states. Combining every movement with a breath, I create an environment that harbors focus, intention and a good amount of sweat! Ultimately my goal is to lead people to find their own ways to live moment to moment with conscious intent and direction.
My name is Melissa Bierkortte and I am a sweet but sassy brand new yoga instructor. I recently received my 200 hr RYT level instructor certificate in November 2015. I love teaching fun hot flow classes. I discovered yoga around 2010, when I went to a hot flow class with my friend in Charlotte, NC. Since then, I've been hooked. Yoga has been a great asset in my life. My full time job is very stressful and yoga had provided me with the grounding and inner peace, that only yoga could provide me. I'm excited to begin my journey as a yoga instructor and know it will include meeting lots of interesting people and guiding them through their own inner yoga experience.
Yoga has been such a transformative influence in my life. I feel like it helps me to be a better wife, a better mother to my two amazing kids, and a better person all around. I love being silly, having fun, meeting new people, and sinking into my mat after a juicy vinyasa class. I recently completed my 200hr RYT with Savannah Yoga Center and I am so excited to be part of the Hayat team. See you in class!
Danielle was first introduced to yoga in college as an elective credit, she thought that it would be a good physical workout and a class she would enjoy.
She quickly became attached with how her body felt and how she was positively effected inside and out. After her semester was over, she reached out to find studios in her area, but with no luck of finding a home studio, she continued her own practice periodically through videos and yoga like workout classes at her gym.
Her journey has been a long one, with really becoming developed in
her practice at the beginning of 2016 after a new friend from the gym invited her to a class at Hayat Yoga Shala. The flame had once again been ignited and she dove even deeper into the yogi world. Yoga was an amazing addition to her current workout regimen. It continued to improve her flexibility and she could feel the spiritual transition.
In the beginning of 2017 she decided to take her practice even farther and enrolled in her RYT-200 course. After completing her 200hr she had found a warm place
in her heart that drove her to share the positive impact that yoga can have in your everyday life. She teaches Hot and warm vinyasa flow, really hoping to guide others to connect to their inner self and even just for a moment, take the time to nurture the mind and body. Everything starts with a step, or in this case an asana. She would love to share a space with you, combining all energies in one room, growing the yogi family and making the world a happier place.
After ten years of practicing yoga with no great consistency, Wendy took her first yoga training in 2012. A flame had been stoked with that training, and she has been a student of yoga ever since. Wendy completed 200hr RYT training with YogaFit in the spring of 2014; and, she will finish her 500hr RYT program with them this fall. She is persistent in her goal of guiding all she meets to find their own perfect asana practice (postures) and breathe in hopes of becoming more in tuned with their authentic self. In addition to being a yoga instructor, Wendy is a NASM certified personal trainer and a NC certified school teacher. She teaches yoga regularly a fitness center in Fayetteville and is a substitute instructor at a few additional places in the area.
Born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia. I moved to the US permanently in 2013 after getting married to my husband who is currently serving in the US Army. His career brought me to Fayetteville, North Carolina. I'm a mother of an amazing daughter and a wonderful cocker spaniel. I like spending time outdoors, traveling, and especially love the beach. I also own a bakery business which keeps me busy in the kitchen when I'm not on my mat.
My first introduction to yoga was back home in 2010 at a small Iyengar yoga studio. It started as a hobby so I could do more physical activities once or twice a week. Having been a ballet dancer growing up, I thought yoga would be a good way to bring some movements back into my life. After attending my very first hot vinyasa flow class in 2013, I immediately fell in love with it and later on decided to further my dedication to yoga and received my 200hr RYT through Hayat Yoga Shala.
In my opinion yoga is about finding balance in your life both physically and spiritually. It helps transform your body and mind to look at life in a different view. I believe everybody can do yoga and it is never too late to start. My classes will be fun and sometimes challenging and I encourage you to push through your limits in a safe manner and with much love to your body. See you on your mat!

2015: Fintech, Fintech, Fintech
Yes, 2015 was the year that the Fintech bubble exploded. It hasn't burst yet, but it's clear that Fintech is the word of 2015. Everyone is talking unicorns, start-ups, disruption, Fintech and yet this is nothing new. I often say that I'm only known in the Fintech world because I've worked in technology in finance all my life and finally someone decided to put the words together and merge them. Like Brangelina, Kimye and Bennifer, Fintech is of the moment.

? – 1796?
8 – 10 Church Street
A survey and map 1796 of Walcot properties shows the reference (Gh) for the position and name of the Bell Alehouse, where John Farmer was tenant paying £7 yearly.
Today we are familiar with the current location of the Six Bells Inn, which indicates that the pub probably moved premises over the years. Archdeacon Plymley recorded in 1793 that Ann Farmer was tenant of the Six Bells and later William Farmer ran the Six Bells for decades.
Research ongoing. Do you have any information or pictures of any of the pubs of Bishop's Castle? We'd love to hear from you. Contact us here.

Of course, this hobby came with its consequences... I'm slowly running out of cupboard and counter space for my cooking utensils and chocolate of every colour. I no longer shop for clothes, but instead on Amazon for small appliances. Nevertheless, I love it and I will continue to enjoy it as a part of my life.
I want to thank my sister and all my friends for their constant love and support. And thank YOU for visiting this blog. Your comments and feedback are greatly appreciated and always welcome. I hope you enjoy my recipes and keep coming back for updates!

I was fortunate enough to score free tickets to a University of Virginia (vs Idaho) football game today. Full disclosure, I'm not a UVA fan but since I was a guest in their house I did cheer for them. Now, it wasn't the biggest game of the day or the year, but none the less it was a college football game. I had seats on the front row right behind the endzone, which was really cool. My friends Justin and Sarah were nice enough to accept the other tickets I had and drove me to Charlottesville. We met up with Sarah's parents and off we went to Scott Stadium. The game went into OT and saw Idaho go for a 2 point conversion for the win only to have a DB from UVA knock down the attempt for a 21-20 Wahoo victory. UVA dominated this game….statistically. However, that did not translate into points and my goodness, they had a lot of chances to score more than they did. After UVA's victory we drove back to Sarah's parents house and ate like kings! All in all I had a fun day with great friends, it doesn't get much better than that.

Frequently Asked Questions
Say goodbye to mascara forever ladies… and hello to rolling out of bed looking beautiful!
1. What are Eyelash Extensions?
- Eyelash Extensions are synthetic 'lashes' that are applied to your own eyelashes to make them longer and thicker. Each lash extension is gracefully curved to replicate the lines of a natural eyelash.
- Eyelash Extensions provide that little extra 'something' for special occasions. Yet because they are so natural looking, they are a wonderful addition to your everyday wardrobe. They work wonderfully at the office, are in good shape at the health club, and make your eyes magnetic wherever your day might take you.
- We specialize eyelash extensions, it's what we do day in and day out. This is not your convenience full service salon or spa offering multiple services, we are the place you go if you want the best, incredibly sexy lashes.
- At Ooh la lash, you can expect the finest quality of designer lashes and application techniques. All of our lash artists have been obsessively trained to give perfected lashes, one lash at a time.
2. What holds my eyelash extensions in place?
- The 'miracle' of eyelash extensions is the special waterproof bonding agent that we use. The eyelash extensions are applied to directly to your lashes, not to your skin. The long-lasting glue does not contain any fumes or irritants, so it is safe and comfortable.
3. How Long do extensions last? I have read they can last up to 3 months!
- This is an industry half truth (half lie) used in marketing. Lashes have a 3 month life cycle from the growth state, to the resting state, and finally to the shedding stage. 3 months from beginning to end, give or take a few DAYS. Your eyelashes shed off every day just like your hair.
- If extensions are applied properly you will be shedding your lashes naturally and new lashes will be growing in. However if lashes are IMPROPERLY applied they can appear to last longer since a clump of lashes glued together will not allow the natural shedding process to take place. The downside to improperly applied lashes is they are painful as the lashes that are growing are plucking out the lashes that are resting. Given enough time you will have successfully plucked out your eyelashes. Know what happens when you repeatedly pluck your brows? Yes, you guessed it, permanent hair loss.
- There should never be two natural lashes glued together, unless you truly want your lash line to look like a plucked chicken. Proper extension training cannot be trivialized. At Ooh la lash, you will get no false promises, or over hyped marketing. While we have clients that go 6 weeks between their fills the average runs about 3 weeks. If you choose to do no maintenance your lashes will shed off and by 3 months you will be back to where you started, but with no damage to your lash line. Many of our clients experience better lashes by about the 6 month mark due to no lash curlers, pulling or tugging, or mascara drying out their lashes causing breakage!
4. How do I choose the look I want?
- Ooh la lash Extensions can be completely customized to fit your personal taste. You may choose from a number of lengths and thickness. To ensure that the results are exactly what you want, our eyelash extension expert will consult with you before beginning.
- Since each person's lashes are unique in terms of strength and length, our technician will assess your natural lashes to determine what they can support in regards to size. Next she'll talk with you to learn more about the style you are interested in. Then and only then, will she create the 'look' that is best for you.
5. How long does the application process take?
- It takes anywhere from 45-90 minutes to apply eyelash extensions properly. The application process is pain-free and so soothing that most clients fall asleep during the procedure. All you need to do is relax, lie back comfortably on a massage or facial table and close your eyes.
- An under-eye gel pad will be used to cover your lower lashes. Then our eyelash extension expert will assess each individual lash, and carefully apply the perfect individual lash extensions for you.
6. How often will I need a touch-up?
- Your individual experience will be unique based on your day-to-day activities. If you swim or use a steam room or if you frequently touch your eyes, it is possible that your eyelash extensions will dislodge sooner. A 45-minute touch-up is usually recommended every 2 to 3 weeks to fill in any lashes that have fallen out.
7. Are eyelash extensions safe?
- Eyelash Extensions have gone through trials, tests, and everyday use. The verdict: They are safe. Your natural lashes are not plucked or waxed. The lashes are applied with an adhesive with a formulation that includes many of the products used to create safe, suture-free wound closure options for doctors.
- However, unhygienic conditions can lead to problems and improper application by an unqualified eyelash technician can cause damage to your natural lashes. That's why we recommend that you visit Lava Lash and put yourself in the hands of our certified eyelash extension specialist for a safe, carefree experience.
8. Does it hurt to have Eyelash Extensions applied?
- No! Not if they are properly applied. Most people sleep right through their appointment calling it a 'guilt free' nap.
- Can I use an eyelash curler on my eyelash extensions?
- We recommend that you avoid mechanical eyelash curlers as they can damage the extensions and possibly your own natural lashes. Lava Lash extensions have a natural curl 'built in,' but if wish to create a more pronounced curl; we suggest you use a heated eyelash curler.
9. Can I wear mascara on my eyelash extensions?
- You don't need mascara. Ooh la lash extensions give the illusion that you are already wearing mascara, because your lashes look so lush and thick. However, if you wish, you may further enhance your look with water-based mascara only. Oil-based and waterproof mascaras should be avoided as agents in their formulations will dissolve the bonding agent used to apply your extensions.
- Important note: When removing water-based mascara, be sure to use only water-based eye makeup removers. Other products will also interfere with the bonding process.
10. How do I take care of my new extensions?
- Less is more. The less you fiddle, touch, pet or play with them, the better they last. It is important that you keep them clean so we recommend you wash them at least once a day to remove natural oils and environmental pollutants. Healthy lashes are clean lashes.

Overwatch Wins GOTY At The 2016 Game Awards
Blizzard wins big at Geoff Keighley's annual event.
Blizzard wins big at Geoff Keighley's annual event.
After hearing the controversy behind their new game, that went into it's second beta this week, Hi-Rez responds to the accusations of copying Overwatch.
Another sniper emerges, though this one is more focused on helping instead of killing.
It's time to get serious with Blizzard's adored multiplayer-focused shooter.
In this day and age, where some games are shipped in pieces rather than a complete package, treading the line between angering fans and giving people a reason to come back is harder than it seems.
Very few developers can generate the sort of buzz that lights the world on fire. In a world where we are overwhelmed with entertainment options, letting people know about your game is difficult enough, much less getting them excited for it. One developer that seems to be the constant exception is Blizzard Entertainment. Every game they promote seems to catch on like wildfire. Blizzard has a pedigree of continuously releasing amazing titles, from World of Warcraft to Starcraft to Hearthstone. Blizzard games always have a tremendous amount of love, care, and polish. They all have that magical Blizzard touch that pushes them above all other games in their respective genres. As expected, Overwatch is no exception.
After an image of the date was found online, Blizzard has officially announced when we will see the game release.
The rumor we reported on yesterday has been confirmed at Blizzcon, Overwatch will be hitting consoles as well as PC.
Through GameStop, GameInformer has learned that we may be seeing Blizzard's team-based shooter on home consoles.
Overwatch, Blizzard's attempt to diversify the MOBA genre, will soon be playable by a select number of people in the upcoming closed beta, which begins on October 27.
