Eye Floaters
Eye Floaters (Overview)
Are spots you notice visually that may vary in shape & are usually gray or black.
What causes eye floaters?
The Vitreous: The vitreous is composed of a clear liquid called hyaluronic acid and fibers called collagen. As we age the vitreous becomes less solid and the collagen fibers become more visible (synuresis). The spots you see are these collagen fiber clumps. They do not cause harm to the eye, they just get in the way. If they are very prominent and reduce visual function they can be removed with a vitrectomy. ...Read more

Are spots you notice visually that may vary in shape & are usually gray or black.
What does it mean to have eye floaters and small lightning streak that lasts for 2 seconds?
See an eye doc: You should see a doctor who will dilate your eyes for examination of the retina. Sometimes, sudden floaters may accompany or precede the development of a tear in the retina. A retinal tear can rapidly progress to a retinal detachment. The lightning streak occurs with traction or pulling on the retina. See a retinal specialist. Avoid retinal detachment. ...Read more

How do I treat eye floaters naturopathically?
Easily: Since there is no actual treatment for floaters, then naturopathic remedies, offering no treatment anyway, can be used with no risk. If you have had the sudden onset of floaters you need your eyes evaluated by an ophthalmologist who can rule out any serious problem and discuss the prognosis of the floaters with you. ...Read more
How are serious cases of eye floaters treated?
Vitrectomy: Most retinal specialist will not do vitrectomy for floaters because there can be risks. However if it is to the point of severely limiting your day to day function or severely affecting your quality of life, vitrectomy may improve your symptoms. ...Read more

Will my eye floaters go away?
Not likely: Eye floaters r little pieces of solidified fluid that the eye globe is filled with (vitreous fluid). When they form, they float around and you will only be aware of them when they float in front of that part of the retina (optic nerve) that is the focus of light that allows us to see. They generally don't go away, and once u know what they are, may not be too bothersome. C eye doc annually. ...Read more
Is there any research going on anywhere for treatment of eye floaters?
Floaters research no: I am a vitreoretinal surgeon and am not aware of any major research on floaters. The options to treat floaters in young patients are limited. Older patients may be candidates for vitrectomy surgery depending on severity of floaters. Most doctors advise waiting to see if they improve on their own. They are not harmful. Discuss options with your eye doctor. ...Read more

What are some treatments for eye floaters/spots?
"Serious" floaters.: Vitrectomy works for bad floaters. It carries risks like cataract, but may have reasonably good outcomes. Most floaters are not serious enough to warrant a vitrectomy. Of the floaters that are truly serious, most are associated with some other disease process like diabetes. Yag laser lysis is the other way. It is less invasive, but less effective also. Don't forget dilated exam first! ...Read more
Any medicine or tablets to cure eye floaters I can afford a surgery any minerals vitamin calcium tablets please tell me thanks?
Treating floaters: There is no cure for benign floaters. No medications or supplements will help. Fortunately with time, floaters to become less noticeable and problematic. Any sudden change in floaters, especially if accompanied by flashing light, is an emergency. Otherwise, just try your best to live with it. Surgical treatment for floaters would be very expensive and not without significant risk. ...Read more
Treating Eye Infections (Checklist)
Does anyone know how to reduce or get rid of eye floaters?
Time: Floaters occur when the vitreous gel that fills the eye pulls away from the back part of the eye. The floaters diminish with time. If you have flashes of light or a change in your vision go to an eye md immediately as this could be a retinal tear or detachment-a potentially blinding condition. If your floaters persist or become worse this could be a sign of bleeding or inflammation-go to an md! ...Read more
Is there anything I can get from the grocery store or drug store for my eye floaters until I can see a doctor?
Not really: Floaters are essentially membrane fragments and debris in the fluids in the back of the eye. Most are benign but they may be the first sign of a retinal detachment. If you have them and also light flashes or diminution of vision you need an ophthalmologist to see you right away. There are no retail items that are helpful for floaters. ...Read more

Is there a possibility eye floaters can be genetic, especially at early age onset?
Genetic: Influences play a role in the development of the axial length of your eye. This in turn can predispose one to vitreous detachment and subsequent vitreous floaters. The longer your axial length, the higher the frequency. ...Read more
Is there any risk in having eye floaters your whole life?

How do I ignore eye floaters?
Floaters: Most common it is recommended to have an immediate exam when they first occur to rule out retinal tear or detachment. If there is only floaters, then wait a year and if they are still symptomatic then consider a vitrectomy to remove the vitreous and floaters. Typically with time, they will devolve, settle out of the way, or your brain will learn to ignore them (not notice them). ...Read more
What is done for eye floaters?
Vitrectomy Surgery:
Irb-approved studies have shown that minimally-invasive vitrectomy under local anesthesia in an ambulatory surgery center can be performed in 5 to 10 minutes, heal in 1 to 2 weeks, and permanently cure floaters without complications [no infection, glaucoma, hemorhhage, retinal tears or detachments in 75 consecutive cases].

What makes eye floaters worse?
Eye floaters: Typically floaters are composed of protein pre-cipitates in the vitreous. These arise naturally with age, but can occur early due to certain conditions in which the vitreous is abnormal. Violent agitation of the vitreous is one way that floaters may arise and seem worse. Injection of medication in the eye for conditions like macular degeneration is also a cause. ...Read more
Is it bad to have eye floaters?
Usually innocent: Vitreous floaters commonly develop as the eye ages, a process called vitreous syneresis. However, if floaters abruptly occur with/without light flashes, an examination is important to rule out any underlying problems with the retina. Floaters may also arise from intraocular hemorrhage orinflammation. Sometimes migraine auras are perceived as floaters, but are actually due to cerebral blood flow ch ...Read more

What is the cause of eye floaters?
Aging, mostly: Most of the time floaters appear as a natural consequence of getting older, like seeing the first wrinkle in your forehead. If, however you see floaters that weren't there before, or if you have flashes of light in the periphery of your vision, it's best to get checked out asap by an eye md (ophthalmologist) to rule out retinal tears, which can lead to (vision-threatening) retinal detachments. ...Read more

What are the causes of eye floaters?
Floaters: A posterior vitreous detachment causes floaters. This is a situation where the vitreous (jelly) of the eye detaches (not a retinal detachment), it then "crumples" up leaving dots, spots, strands of blurry vitreous; i.e. The "floater". You should have an exam to ensure the incident did not tear the retina, which could lead to a retinal detachment. Wait one year then consider surgery. ...Read more
Is it possible to clear eye floaters?
Yes: Typical they will clear or the symptoms will dissipate with time. If not you can consider surgery called a vitrectomy. Discuss this option with your eye specialist / retina surgeon. ...Read more
Is it normal to see many eye floaters?
Vitreous Floaters: The back part of the eye is filled with clear jelly-like substance called vitreous. As it begins to liquefy over time, some of the fibers and debris become visible, particularly against a white background. New floaters and a change in your normal pattern of floaters can be a sign a of retinal damage or a pvd. You should get checked by an ophthalmologist. ...Read more
What is the main cause of eye floaters?
Floaters cause: Floaters arise when the vitreous gel inside the eye liquefies naturally with age and sometimes earlier in life due to trauma, inflammation, or even high myopia. The floaters may consist of protein precipitates. Though the vitreous gel inside the eye is clear, it is composed of a complex matrix of collagen proteins that undergo changes. New floaters should be examined under dilation. ...Read more
Should I be worried about eye floaters?
Usually no: Floaters are usually due to changes in the vitreous (gel like protein inside eye) due to protein changes that forms clumps. If you have a burst of new floaters, flashings, or a curtain coming over your vision, see eyeMD asap: otherwise most floaters are normal or due to a PVD (posterior vitreous detachement: that rarely leads to a retinal hole/tear/detachment.

Go to your doctor immediately if you have symptoms. ...Read more
How can I best take care of eye floaters?
Time: Most symptoms from floaters will diminish to a tolerable level with time. Patients will notice them in certain lighting situations or activities.

That's because it has always been essentially the same system that Ivy League uses to this day, So if this modern admissions system seems familiar.
Grottlesex. Whenever according to Princeton, harvard or Karabel didn't abandon elevation of character once Jewish cr passed. Now let me tell you something. In 1905, Harvard College adopted the College Entrance Examination Board tests as principal basis for admission, that meant that virtually any academically gifted highschool senior who could afford a special college had a straightforward shot at attending. Thus, they institutionalized it. By 1908, freshman class was 8 per cent Jewish, 8 per cent Catholic, and fortyfive per cent from community schools, an astonishing transformation for a school that historically had been preserve of newest the preserve England boardingschool complex prominent in the admissions world as St.
They would like to ask you a question. What did Hunter achieve with that beststudents model, is that the case? Did you know that the researchers spend a big deal of time attempting to figure out why Hunter graduates are always so disappointing, and end up sounding a lot like Wilbur Bender. Although, non intellective' factors like motivation and community skills maybe matter more. Possibly noting sacrifices involved in trying for international or world class leadership in a field, graduates decided that intelligent thing to do was to choose very fortunate and successful lives.
In general, it wanted superstars well like Bender and his colleagues recognized that if this always was your own goal a 'best students' model isn't enough. Needless to say, though and graduates weren't nearly as distinguished as they were expected to be, as they. Remember, authors conclude, there arefor the most part there're no superstars, although the majority of our study participants are successful and fairly content with their lives and accomplishments. Ok, and now one of the most crucial parts. In the nineteen eighties, a handful of educational researchers surveyed students who attended the elementary school between 1948 and This was a group with an average of 157 4 and a half standard deviations above the mean who had been given was, by any measure and what the finest classroom experiences in the world. Keep reading. It is a wonderful, with no doubt, for and even thing a school to turn out a lot of quite good and successful graduates. Being a smart child isn't a terribly good predictor of success in later essence, they conclude. That said, harvard didn't want a lot of relatively lucky and successful graduates.
Admissions office at Harvard proven to be far more interested in details of an applicant's special essence.
Harvard started recommending applicants to provide a photograph. Lowell told his admissions officers to elicit information about character of candidates from persons who see applicants well, and so the letter of reference happened to be mandatory. Then, starting in the fall of 1922, Karabel writes, applicants were required to respond to questions on 'Race and Color,' 'spiritual Preference,' 'Maiden Name of Mother,' 'Birthplace of Father,' and 'What if any, rethink or even was made since birth in your name or that of the father, is that the case? While demonstrating their aptitude for leadership, and list their extracurricular activities, candidates had to write special essays.
With instructions to rate potential candidates on a scale of one to 4, at Princeton, emissaries were sent to huge boarding schools, where one was highly desirable and apparently exceptional material from every point of view and four was undesirable from the point of view of character, thus and to be excluded no matter what results of the entrance the results examinations will be.
By 1933, the end of Lowell's term, percentage of Jews at Harvard was back down to fifteen per cent. By the way, the private interview proven to be a key component of admissions in Karabel writes, order or even to ensure that 'undesirables' were identified and to assess significant but subtle indicators of background and breeding just like real physical, deportment, speech and dress appearance.
He said that he was worried that his client's newest lower priced line was acquired disproportionately by blackish women. On and the picks and skills up completely a handful of them, in a latter research project funded by Law School Admission Council. Engagement and judgment. Skills besides interviewing stress management, negotiation skills. It was simply a fact, he said. It was his job to protect his client from attentions of the socially the attentions undesirable. Furthermore, grey women would destroy the brand's cachet. Most élite law schools, to cite another example, go with a 'beststudents' model. Then once more, wouldn't we rather choose that at least some law schools try to select good lawyers before good law students? Oftentimes he insisted that he did not mean this in a racist way. That's why they rely so heavily on the there's no reason to suppose that a person's scores have much relation to how good a lawyer he will be.
His remarkable admissions history process at Harvard, Princeton, that, Yale or meritocratic spirit shortly led to a cr, as sociologist Jerome Karabel writes in Chosen. I am sure that the summer hotel that is ruined by admitting Jews meets its fate. By 1922, they made up more than a fifth of Harvard's freshman class. That's where it starts getting rather interesting, right, right? Jews were thought to be sickly and grasping, 'grade grubbing' and insular. Lawrence Lowell, Harvard's president in the 'nineteen twenties', stated flatly that too lots of Jews would destroy school. So administration and alumni were up in arms. Now look, the enrollment of Jews need to start to rise radically. On top of this, they displaced sons of wealthy Wasp alumni, that did not bode well for 'fund raising'. Gentiles, and hereafter after Gentiles have left, they leave.
Because as a group they were academically superior to everyone else, the sophisticated part, was and however coming up with a way of keeping Jews out. Neither strategy worked. Lowell's first idea a quota limiting Jews to fifteen per student cent body was roundly criticized. Lowell tried restricting the number of scholarships given to Jewish students, and made an effort to bring in students from social schools in the West, where there were fewer Jews. Lowell besides his counterparts at Yale and Princeton realized that if a definition of merit based on academic prowess was leading to incorrect kind of student, solution was to improve definition of merit. Consequently, karabel argues that it was at this moment that the history and Ivy nature League took a noticeable turn.
Now look, the extreme emphasis Ivy League places on admissions makes, policies and though it seem more like a modelling agency than like the Marine Corps, studies and sure enough based on those 3 apparently equivalent students turn out to be flawed. It's pretty manageable that student who goes to Harvard has probably been more ambitious and energetic and personable than student who wasn't let in, and that those same intangibles are usually what account for his better career success. To assess effect of the Ivies the effect, it makes more sense to compare student who got into a top school with student who got into that same school but chose to look for a less selective one., no doubt, 4 years ago, the economists Alan Krueger and Stacy Dale published simply such a study. Besides, they looked with success for that when you compare apples and apples the income bonus from selective schools disappears. It's a well how do we understand that 3 students who have the same scores and grades always were equivalent?
University of Toronto first on my list, University of Western Ontario second, and Queen's University third. My parents' contribution consisted of my father's agreeing to drive me one afternoon to the University of Toronto campus, where we visited residential college we was most interested in. My father poked his head into the admissions office, chatted with admissions director, and they imagine either said a few shorter words about talents of his son or remarked on loveliness of the delphiniums the loveliness in college flower beds. We had ice cream.
Am we a better or more successful person for having been accepted at the University of Toronto, as opposed to my second or third choice, is that the case? In Ontario, there wasn't a strict hierarchy of colleges. For instance, there were a couple ofa fewa few good ones and a couple ofa fewa few better ones and a number of programs like computer science at University of Waterloo that were world class. The significant issue was whether we attended college, and most essential how seriously we took experience once we got there. You may imagine my confusion, hereafter and when they first met someone who had gone to Harvard. Since all colleges were same part social system and tuition everywhere was the same, and a B average in big school pretty much guaranteed you a spot in college, there wasn't a sense that anything big was at stake in choice of which college we attended. It strikes me as a curious question.
Starting in 1953, Arthur Howe and Jr.
At Harvard, key figure in that same period was Wilbur who, Bender or as the dean of admissions, had a preference for boy with some athletic interests and abilities, the boy with natural vigor and coordination and grace. Yale, and Karabel describes what happened under his guidance. Bender properly like Karabel tells us that if Harvard continued to suffer on the football field it would contribute to the school's reputation as a place with no college spirit, few good fellows, no vigorous or wholesome public essence, not to mention a surfeit of 'pansies,' 'decadent esthetes' and 'precious sophisticates. Bender concentrated on refining Harvard's techniques for evaluating intangibles in particular, and its ability to detect homosexual tendencies and confident psychiatric issues.
By nineteensixties, Harvard's admissions system had evolved into a series of complex algorithms.
They searched with success for handwritten notes scribbled in margins of different candidates' files, when the Office of Civil Rights at ministerial education department investigated Harvard in nineteen eighties. According to their geographical origin, school began by lumping all applicants into one of 'twenty two' dockets. Now regarding the aforementioned fact… More vital, academic achievement was just one of 3 dimensions, further diluting the value of pure intellectual accomplishment. While according to Harvard's own analysis, private rating was a better predictor of admission than the academic rating. For example, competition within each so, docket or even not between dockets there was no way say, graduates and for of Bronx Science and Stuyvesant to shut out graduates of Andover and Exeter. Seriously. Another comment studies, Seems a tad frothy. Simply think for a moment. Those with an individual rating of one had a rejection rate of five per cent. Athletic ability, but not falling under extracurriculars, got a category all to recruited, itself, that enlightens why or even now athletes have an acceptance rate to the Ivies at well over twice rate of additional students, despite scores that have been on average more than a hundred points lower. Known one application and right now you may nearly hear it going to bottom of the pile the bottom was notated, shorter with large ears. Did you hear about something like this before, this is the case right? Those with a rank of four or worse on individual scale had, in the nineteen sixties, a rejection rate of ninetyeight per cent. Information from interviews, references and student essays was then used to grade each applicant on a scale of one to 6, along 5 dimensions. Obviously, the most essential category? That mysterious index of special qualities. Remember, this green woman might be amongst brightest applicants in the pool but there arethere're a fewa couple ofa couple of references to shyness, study one.
Common scientists distinguish betwixt what were always famous as treatment effects and selection effects.
It doesn't have an enormous admissions office grading applicants along 4 separate dimensions of toughness and intelligence. Nevertheless, you don't proven to be beautiful by signing up with an agency. It's a well-known fact that the Marine as an example, Corps or was probably largely a treatmenteffect institution. Of course it's confident that experience of undergoing Marine Corps fundamental training will turn you into a formidable soldier. You get signed up by an agency because you're beautiful.
Since things like passion and engagement can't be measured as precisely as academic proficiency, this search for good lawyers, furthermore and also is always necessarily will be subjective.
It isit's a solitary, in better times and means accessible for giving us common outcome we want, Subjectivity in admissions process has been not just an occasion for discrimination. He had a point. He went on to be a top executive at Ford, and is credited with persuading the company to hire thousands of AfricanAmericans after the 1967 riots. Now pay attention please. It's an interesting fact that the first blackish Yale captain football team was a man named Levi Jackson, who graduated in Jackson was a quite famous figure on campus. He joked and even If my name had been reversed, we in no circumstances would have made it, when Jackson was tapped for exclusive secret society Skull and Bones. The strategy of discretion that Yale had once used to exclude Jews was shortly being used to comprise people like Levi Jackson.
In the 2001 book Game of essence, James Shulman and William Bowen conducted an enormous statistical analysis on an issue that has happen to be amongst the most contentious in admissions.
Shulman and Bowen think the preference given to athletes by Ivy League probably was shameful. Athletes, Shulman and Bowen growing, have a big and demonstrate advantage in admission over everyone else. Over the past twenty years, their class rankings have steadily dropped, and they tend to segregate themselves in an athletic culture exclusive from the culture of pretty a bit of college. With that said, at same time, they have markedly lower s and scores than their peers.
At heart of the American heart obsession with the Ivy League is belief that schools like Harvard provide community and intellectual equivalent of Marine Corps essential training that being taught by all those brilliant professors and meeting all those another motivated students and getting a degree with that powerful name on it will confer gains that no nearest state university will provide.
Fuelling the treatment effect idea always were studies showing that if you get 2 students with same scores and grades, one of whom goes to a school like Harvard and one of whom goes to a less selective college, the Ivy Leaguer will make far more money 10 or twenty years down the road.
College applicants in were, Ontario and in those months given a single sheet of paper which listed all the universities in the province.
Because in Canada we didn't have to get I not sure whether anyone wrote me a recommendation, there were no scores to worry about. Why would I, this is the case right? It wasn't as if they were applying to a peronal club. Ensure you drop a comment about it. It was my job to rank them in order of preference. You see, i had to mail sheet of paper to a central college admissions office. The whole process perhaps took 11 minutes. My school sent in my grades separately.
Krueger says that there isthere's one exception to this.
You'll make good contacts at Penn. Krueger went on. i think they are simply assigning to school loads of what the student is probably getting with him to school. Having Penn on your résumé opens doors. If you were lovely enough to get into Penn you're good enough that those doors will open for you in any event. That's an enormous difference, and they will see why parents would fight to get their kids into better school. On top of that, average graduate from a top school has been making nearly a hundred and twenty thousand dollars a year, average graduate from a moderately selective school is making ninety thousand dollars. Undoubtedly, students from the rather lowest economy strata do seem to benefit from going to a Ivy. Nevertheless, penn State probably was large enough and diverse enough that you may make good contacts there. Did you hear of something like that before? For most students, key or even though rule seems to be that if you are a hardworking and intelligent person you'll end up doing well disregarding where you went to school.
Bender was succeeded as dean of admissions at Harvard by Fred Glimp, Karabel tells us, had and who a particular concern with academic underperformers.
What have been effects of psychology effects of feeling average, even in a quite able group? Any class, no matter how able, will oftentimes have a bottom quarter, Glimp once wrote. So, glimp thought it was critical that the students who populated lower rungs of every Harvard class weren't so driven and ambitious that they are disturbed by their status. That's right! As a result renowned Harvard admission practice prominent as the 'lucky bottom quarter' policy was born, Karabel writes. Have probably been there identifiable types with psychological or 'what not' tolerance to be 'fortunate' or to make the a number of education while in the bottom quarter?
In wake of Jewish wake cr, Princeton, Harvard, Yale besides chose to adopt what will be called best graduates approach to admissions.
The Ivy League schools justified their emphasis on character and personality, however and by arguing that they were searching for students who would have the greatest success after college. Should our goal be to select a student body with the biggest feasible proportions of 'lofty ranking' students, or should it be to select, within a reasonably big range of academic ability, a student body with a peculiar majority of attitudes, talents, qualities and even backgrounds, am I correct? University of Chicago. It's a well france's École Normale Supérieure, Japan's University of Tokyo, and hundreds of world's another élite schools define their task as looking for best students that is, applicants who will have greatest academic success during their time in college. Wilbur Bender asked. They were looking for leadership, officials, leaders Ivy and League believed, was not a regular matter of academic brilliance. With that said, you produced bookworms and bench scientists, So in case you let in usually brilliant. Above a reasonably good amount of mental ability, above that indicated by a 550 600″ extent of score, Bender went on, a single thing that matters regarding the future impact on, contribution to or society has been the degree of private inner force an individual has. I know that the decision was obvious, with an intention to him.
It's plain simple to look for fault with the 'bestgraduates' approach.
The Ivy League process, pretty apart from its dubious opaque, seems subjective and origins. The notion that the ability to kick, hit or throw a ball has been a legitimate criterion in determining who might be admitted to our greatest research universities, Karabel writes, is always a proposition that will be considered laughable in a bunch of world's countries. At the same time that Harvard was constructing its byzantine admissions system, Hunter College Elementary required, in newest York and School that applicants make an exam, and if they scored in top fifty they got in. You see, why should personality and athletic ability matter so much, right? We tend to think that intellectual achievement probably was fairest and largest standard of merit. It's tough to imagine a more objective and transparent procedure.
Halfway through Shulman, Bowen, however or book present what they call a surprising finding.
Apparently, athletes have been far more possibly to go into the highpaying pecuniary solutions sector, where they succeed because of their personality and psychological makeup. In what may mostly be described as a textbook example of burying Shulman, Bowen or the lead write. Male athletes, despite their lower scores and grades, and despite fact that majority of them are members of minorities and come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds than various students, turn out to earn a lot more than their peers. that's because they misrepresent actual ideals of American élite education, shulman and Bowen would like to argue that the attitudes of selective colleges toward athletes have been a ideals perversion of American élite education. Therefore the Ivy League has been well fortunate to accept, kind and among others of student who makes a bunch of money after graduation. That's because they misrepresent actual ideals of American élite education, shulman and Bowen would like to argue that attitudes of selective colleges toward athletes are a ideals perversion of American élite education. I'm sure that the definition of a wellrounded Yale graduate has been someone who may roll all the way from modern Haven to Wall Street, as rather old saying goes. One way or another, Ivy League has been quite well fortunate to accept, kind and among others of student who makes loads of money after graduation. The definition of a wellrounded Yale graduate always was someone who will roll all way from modern Haven to Wall Street, as the rather old saying goes.

Find Success In Gold With These Gems Of Tips
In these uncertain economic times, many people are deciding to invest in precious metals such as gold. This is because they tend to hold their value. If you have been thinking about investing in gold, then this article is for you. It will give you some great tips pertaining to help you invest wisely.
Before buying or selling gold, look into the market price for gold for the day. There are daily fluctuations on price for precious metals, so it's important for you to know what the current going rate is. This will help you understand whether the dealer is overpriced or fair in the offers made to you.
How heavy your gold is will determine how much money you get for each piece. However, some dealers are not very reputable and may try to pay you less than you are owed. Watch out for anyone who weighs your gold by the pennyweight but tries to pay you for grams instead.
Before actually purchasing a piece of gold jewelry, shop around. More expensive jewelry stores will charge you an arm and leg. However, the same piece of jewelry can sometimes be found elsewhere for a much lower price. You can even tell a jeweler that you saw the piece for cheaper and you may be able to negotiate with them.
Do not assume that gold that is old, ugly, broken and unwearable is not eligible to be sold for a profit. The value of gold is not based on the attractiveness of the piece. It all depends on the weight of the gold, so feel free to bring in gold that is in any condition.
When you are selling gold, you need to decide whether you want to sell it as a piece of jewelry, or for the melt value. Some buyers, including a lot of private sellers and pawn shops, only care about melt value. Selling your unique gold pieces to a collector can end up netting you more money.
If you're using a mail-order gold buying service, make sure you understand any return postage fees you'll need to pay if you decline their offer. Many companies offer free shipping; however, they may charge shipping for returns. Be sure you have an idea how much it will cost you to reclaim your items.
If you are thinking about becoming a buyer or seller of gold, make sure you are legal! In the United States, you must have a license to purchase, sell or trade gold in any quantities on a regular basis. Check with your city or town about how to become licensed, and then enjoy your new entitlement to dealing in gold.
When attending a gold party, watch the representative carefully. Your natural instincts are often correct. If you feel like the person is being genuine with you, they probably are. If, however, you feel like the individual is holding back a little, you may want to wait and sell your gold to someone else.
Talk to a rep at a gold party to see how they figure out the number of karats in a jewelry piece. In many cases, items are stamped. In some situations, though, no visual sign presents itself, so there are other ways of determining it. Acid testing is a very simple method, so if a representative is using this, they might be new.
As you can see, there can be a lot of value in investing in gold, when done in the right way. Hopefully now you feel more comfortable about the subject. Apply the advice you have learned in this article to be much more gold savvy. You will be thankful that you did!

DEAR DR. ROACH: My doctor placed me on insulin for diabetes because I was not able to bring my glucose below 100. The bloodwork results are now 120 glucose and 6.6 hemoglobin A1C. I have been averaging 6.5 hemoglobin A1C for over two years. I have been taking glucose readings three times a day, with results between 108 and 147 mg/dl. My blood pressure reads 117/61, and my heart rate averages 55. All my bloodwork is within normal limits. I'm 65 years old and was wondering if taking the insulin is needed at this time. I still work, and I'm very active for my age. I take 15 units of insulin injections at night before bed. I also take XIGDUO XR 10 mg/1,000 mg in the morning after breakfast. The other medication I take is 10 mg of simvastatin before bedtime for my cholesterol, which is within the limit when I do my bloodwork. What can I do to get off the insulin? -- S.R.
ANSWER: I understand why people want to stop taking insulin. Many people do not like giving themselves an injection every day. However, it is hard to argue with the success you have had on your current regimen. Your blood sugars, confirmed by your A1C, are in the near-normal range, and your results are very close to what most experts would recommend.
Another consideration is that the insulin you are taking keeps your own pancreas from having to make insulin. This might help your long-term ability to regulate blood sugar. Your insulin is a long-acting form of human insulin, which is the most natural way of replacing the insulin your body can't make enough of. You also take a potent combination of oral medicines to help the insulin work better.
I spoke with one expert, who said she would consider looking at your body's ability to make insulin (through a blood test called a C-peptide level). If that level were low, it would be unlikely that you would have success going off insulin.
If you still feel strongly about trying to get off insulin, speak to the doctor managing your diabetes about trying to slowly taper off the insulin, going down one or two units a day every week or so. Do not try this without discussing with your doctor; he or she would need to monitor your sugars very carefully during the process.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I was diagnosed three months ago with osteoarthritis in my knees, including an itchy rash on my right thigh, which is dormant for some hours during the day; other times, it is almost unbearable. I have started some over-the-counter supplements, including boswellia and turmeric, with good results for the knee pain. But the rash concerns me.
ANSWER: Osteoarthritis and rash normally do not go together. There can be several types of skin changes in a different condition, rheumatoid arthritis, which generally does not affect the knees as much as it does the hands and wrists. So, I suspect that the joint and skin problems are separate issues.
This time of year, when I hear about itchy rashes, I look for dry skin changes such as eczema. I often tell people to start with some moisturizers, especially applied after bathing. If symptoms continue and I cannot make a diagnosis by exam, I will refer to a dermatologist.
I am glad you are having a good response to the supplements. Both boswellia and turmeric present some evidence that they may benefit people with osteoarthritis, and have a generally favorable side effect profile.

Logan (2017)
Now this is a rarity, a review of a superhero film. Previously I've seen a few superhero films, I could give a list – mainly X-Men, as I grew up with the cartoon as a child. Only a few months ago I caught Deadpool (2016), yes I'm a bit slower when it comes to the costumed characters. When I heard this film in the same breath of the Western I was more interested in seeing Logan (2017) billed as being Hugh Jackman's final outing as the angry clawed loner. Also to be the first and possibly worthy film for the character – which I can't really comment on.
I can however draw on my understanding of the Western in relation to Logan, which will take up the majority of my time here. So let's get under, saddle up and ride on out. Or in Logan/James Hewlett (Jackman) is a limo driver in the year 2029, living in Mexico. He is clearly tired and ravaged by time, the years haven't been good to him. The once virile mutant filled with rage really doesn't want to get into fight, he's become reluctant to draw out the adamantium that have become more of a curse than before. The feeling of immortality has long faded, age and time is catching up with him. Much like in The Gunfighter (1950) – Johnny Ringo (Gregory Peck) who wants to lay down his gun, tired of killing and running, wanting a normal life. His celebrity has long-lost it's appeal, now a target for young wannabe's hungry for that trophy and title "I shot Johnny Ringo". Wolverine/Logan is our gunfighter who has gone into hiding, nursing Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) whose suffering with dementia, needing medication to keep him lucid. Any drop in dosage can unleashed his now uncontrolled mental abilities can be felt on an almost planetary scale – it's just not worth thinking about.
So if Logan is the gunfighter, Xavier is the elderly parent who once took him under his wing, brought him up to be the man he hoped to be like. It would be wrong to compare Xavier to a Walter Brennan character who acted as the older sidekick whose life experience's are shared with our hero. We also have a mutant tracker, an albino Caliban (Stephen Merchant) is the unwitting sidekick who keeps both in check. We have the first of our principal characters in place now.
The film begins as it means go on, setting the tone, its hard language and bloody violence, not through Logan wanting to deliver it. Coming from a place of self-defense of self-preservation, showing that there is a place for violence in the comic book universe beyond imaginary buildings and cities being blown up in a computer. The violence leaves little to the imagination, even quick editing we are still left feel slightly queasy at the body parts being cut into and off into multiple victims throughout the film. It's also the first time that I've heard Stewart swearing and as coarsely. I'm reminded of Unforgiven (1992) that sees violence rise from the embers of once prolific gunfighter William Munny (Clint Eastwood,) who picks his gun up hopefully for the last time, a big pay off that will support his family. Turning back to an old undisturbed part of his life, thought to be tamed by his dead wife. What we see is a resurgence in those aggressive emotions, the death of his friend Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman) a line has been crossed, up to this point he's been rusty with his rifle, not able to mount a horse without assistance, a shadow of his former self. Logan is Munny just with a adamantium skeleton – no need for the rifle here.
The films director (James Mangold) has been pretty blatant in his sources of inspiration – namely Shane (1953), the titular gunfighter played by Alan Ladd who enters into civilisation if only briefly to free a town from the strangle hold of Ryker (Emile Meyer) threatening the homesteaders who were trying to make a life for themselves. Then there's the annoying kid Joey Starrett (Brandon De Wilde) who looked up and adored the man with a gun, who could handle it with such finesse and skill it put his own father Joe Starrett (Van Heflin) to shame, he was not the man who he wanted to look up to. That was something he had to learn and accept. The acts of violence that Shane commits are held back to the end of the film, allowing us to see this strong stoic figure who only shoots when he really needs to. This skill is more than just that, it's a form of defense that stops him functioning in society. He ultimately has to ride on away from the homesteaders who have chosen a peaceful life. The link's seen in a few scenes Logan, we see it literally on TV, supposed to be nearly 100 years old (76 years, but whose counting). Showing that it still hows the power to hold the attention of an audience. The scenes carefully chosen to include Shane.
Our Shane is clearly Logan whose followed by his own kid (spoiler!!) a young Mexican girl – Laura (Dafne Keen) herself on the run from an army of men and mutant who want to capture her. Her own existence is very similar to Logan's, through no fault of her own plagued by this mutation that has been engineered, thanks to mad scientist – Dr. Rice (Richard E. Grant), a connection to the X-Men cannon. One of a new generation who are on the run, the gunfighter of the Marvel universe start even younger. No need for guns, they were born with their own gifts (if you can call them that.
Away from the Western connections and themes we have that of family, having only Xavier and Caliban as Logan's family, its dysfunctional, a father figure who has become the receiver of care. Family isn't something that comes naturally to him, the violence in him does not allow it to really happen. All he's ever had has either left him or been killed. With the unwanted arrival of Laura his world starts to change, his perspective on life, he softens up towards the end if only reluctantly. She also acts as a way of the character carrying on in future films and the wider Marvel comic universe which I know little about. Here she's just a child, but one with more than her share of issues to conquer in order to function. The baton's passed here as characters die, passing them onto new ones.
I'll end where I began, I'll probably never again review another comic book film, this however spoke to me, my passions, the ideas in the western are very strong. You could say the comic book super hero is just another gunfighter, their adventures chronicled in the pulp that made them. The dime novels of the 1800's did the same for Buffalo Bill and Jesse James and numerous others, the legends were being printed, the truth being blurred with each publication, which is referenced also in the film with a subtle self-awareness that doesn't take you out of the film. You could say it's a Western, just with an angry guy you don't want to cross.
Chappie (2015)
Just over a week ago I watched Short Circuit (1986) which I really enjoyed, I got a lot out of it, a good film to end the day on. It lifted my spirits which is always a great bonus. I knew that Chappie (2015) was compared to the earlier film, I mentioned I couldn't comment on the differences until I saw it for myself. Now I have and I feel very much the opposite. I've only seen one other of the directors Neill Blomkamp's films – Elysium (2013) which left me feeling cold, I couldn't complete District 9 (2009) for much the same reasons. I had no one I could really connect to on-screen, at the end of Elysium I just didn't care what happened, just out of respect for the film I finished it as I was so far in.
Turning back to Chappie I watched out of reasons of comparison more than anything. I was originally going to watch it at the time of theatrical release then the moment passed and reviews weren't that favorable. So having seen Chappie eventually I can say I felt much the same way after Elysium. Starting out in a future that is much like that of Robocop (1987) if you get passed the prototype stage of the police robot, not the cyborg that we saw in Paul Verhoeven's future. They even sound like Peter Weller instead voiced by Paul Dobson to give the army their nondescript identity as they act as the robotic arm of the law, the buffers for the human police force which are clearly differentiated as the lower tier of the police force who in South Africa that has been now reducing the crime-rate. Things are improving at the expense of a reliance on technology. The first scene smack of Short Circuit, as they're lined up to prospective buyers. With a montage of flashy media that you find in a Verhoeven film, helping to create the world of the film. It take a while to leave the comedy predecessor behind. Even the creator Deon Wilson (Dev Patel) of the police robot is working for the company, yet he knows and accepts what he has created. Going further with ideas to create sentience in a robot unlike Newton Crosby (Steve Guttenberg) who is unaware if their potential after an accident. Which we have to wait a bit longer for when scout 22 is brought back for the 2nd time for repair, only to be lined up for dismantling, the perfect prototype robot to test Deon's new software.
That's the first real comparison, the beginning of the film before coming into it's own. The military is the police force. The real twist comes when a gang of criminals led by Ninja (Ninja) whose been given a week to raise 2 million dollars for another gang lead by Hippo (Brandon Auret). All the supporting cast's played by South African's making it more authentic. These gang members are all colourful characters that really stand-out on-screen, you can't help but notice them.Not conforming the Hollywood image of the urban gangster, they still have all the bling though. The last of the criminal underworld that have all but been defeated by the robotic scouts. You could say that Ninja's gang has found a weakness when they kidnap the creator Deon and his Scout 22, in hopes of training the robot to fight on their behalf.
Of course as we know from previous films, you teach a robot about life, they won't do as they are told. More so Chappie (Sharlto Copley) as Scout 22 is named, reborn a baby, it takes time for him to find his feet. There's a moment where I thought we would be going back to Short Circuit when he watches He-Man, which I thought would be the start of a nights TV teaching hi about life, a superhero who could teach him morals (albeit morals that sold action figures). Thankfully that is cut short for a go on the shooting practice. It's all too much for the infantile Chappie who is runs to his mother figure Yo-Landi Visser (Yo-Landi). They form a strong mother/son bond which is more interesting than that of the creator and creation. As much as he wants the best for him, he is condescending, unaware of his growth away from him, becoming his own person. It's his time with the criminals that does define him, his experiences with them shape who he is and the course he takes. The killer robot or law-enforcer grows beyond his program.
Away from all the personal growth we have the company that produced Chappie that employs Deon – chaired by Michelle Bradley (Sigourney Weaver) who is well cast but starts to fall into stereotype as tough 2 dimensional woman with no real personality beyond seeing profit. In cahoots with rival machine creator (Hugh Jackman) which looks a lot like the prototype in Robocop wreaked havoc in the boardroom. Jackman was plain irritating with his silly wannabe-mullet who could control his robot with a neural interface helmet.
When the subject of mortality is discussed the film really does enter new territory, Chappie realises his time is brief so will do anything to extend that, using the internet, his circuitry and existing technology to move his consciousness into another robot. Not until things go crazy and Moore starts unleashing hell, by making things a lot worse. This is where it starts to get messy as loose ends start to get tied up in ways you don't see coming. The crime rate in the city goes up as result, but we focus on Deon and Chappie as they both now fight to stay alive. The result is a bit to be honest, I saw it coming yet there is no fight, it just happens, no discussion and it doesn't fit, opening up another can of worms which don't get answered.
In short its a mess of a film that tries to be different from it's robot film predecessors that are both bold, original and fun. This is neither really, it's too dark to really engage with. Maybe it's more about the ideas, which sadly don't get fully explored and there's a lot of them. There is a good film in there, it just needs to be reshaped. It's treading old ground mostly and saying little new which I am starting to do so I'll end things here before I sound like Chappie.
