Our doctors are renowned Ophthalmologists Malaysia, whom have mastered in many treatments enabling patients to enjoy maximum safety, accuracy and comfort when undergoing eye treatment and surgery with us. We pride ourselves with services delivered with compassion, a patient centric approach, within the reach of everyone.
Top Vision Eye Specialist Centre started in 2010 as one of the first ambulatory eye care centre in a little town located in Banting, Selangor. The concept as a comprehensive one-stop eye specialist centre was well received by the local community. And so, by the year 2011, we established the second centre, also recognized as our headquarters in Setia Alam, Selangor. It was officially launched by the 2011 Minister of Health Malaysia, Y.B. Dato' Sri Liow Tiong Lai. In June 2015, Top Vision opened its third centre in Kuala Selangor.
We believe that every patient deserves to have the best yet affordable eye healthcare attention they most deserve. We are committed to improving our patient's lives, through education, early detection, maximising treatment effectiveness and deliver a high quality of patient care.

Mobile and Special Features
For attendees, Streaming Translation functions on mobile devices (tablets, smartphones, PC, Mac, Android, Linux) equally as well as on laptops and desktops. This offers organizers of web events the confidence to know that their Streaming Translation can be read/heard and understood by their audience in an appropriate manner on their preferred device. Streaming Translation "sniffs" the device in advance to determine the type, screen size, and basic preferences, then serves up exactly what the viewer needs.
Unlike so many websites that have both a "laptop version" and a "mobile version", with Streaming Translation if your webinar or presentation is properly prepared, the content will stretch or shrink to fit the screen and the translation elements will do the same.  One-size-fits-all.  The translation elements can be customized artistically and to sniff the language settings of the viewer's device and display in the selected language.
Pre-Event Publicity
The mobile component of Streaming Translation gives the event organizer complete control over mobile marketing blasts, campaigns, and broadcasts to entice people to attend the event, plus provides the links and information required to attend. These mobile campaigns can be intra-company inviting employees to a meeting or corporate communication, or can be advertising, games, and rewards. Mobile blasts by Streaming Translation are created quickly and easily by the organizer using the online interface.  One of the strengths of Streaming Translation mobile is its ability to share rich media, moving images, even subtitled movies in the language of the recipient. These translations can be automated or professionally translated.
Thank You, Contact, and Surveys
Mobile blasts also make an outstanding way to say "Thank you for attending", pass important follow-up information, and encourage the attendee to attend the next event. Streaming Translation comes with quick-to-build surveys, questionnaires, real-time voting, and contact forms that serve multiple purposes from gathering feedback on an event to determining if your audience is still listening and has not vanished into their email or left for a coffee break.
Global Insta-Chat
One of Streaming Translation's most remarkable software is Global Insta-Chat, a chat software like none other. Global Insta-Chat not only translates messages and text into and out of all major languages, but also has the ability to be visually eye-popping. One person can handle up to 10 screens and 10 different languages at the same time. Global Insta-Chat also empowers event organizers to provide Customer Service and Tech Support in 40 languages from their website.
In a learning setting, Global Insta-Chat can be used for "Remote Tutors", giving one tutor the capacity to volley dozens of requests for information simultaneously from students, teachers, or direct-reports anywhere in the world asking questions in almost any language.
Global Insta-Chat performs equally well on mobile devices as on laptops. It is not a dull text box, rather can be alive with rich media, images, and subtitled movies. It can be used with scripted or unscripted messages, and takes just a click to send images, movies and media. Conversations can be transferred to another person and the conversation will be translated into the language of the recipient. All chat activity is saved in a database so that agents, managers and supervisors can review and follow the chronology: dates, times, and history of activity.
For teaching professionals in particular, mobile is becoming increasingly important. Global Insta-Chat gives facilitators, trainers and institutions new ways to communicate with international students, parents, and prospects in an attractive manner more suited to the young digital generation.  One of the options is a global chat layout on a base of images, audio, and movies – even subtitled movies! – where conversations can be exchanged in tweet-like blips to which the youth of today react positively.

2 vehicles involved in Colfax crash
2 vehicles involved in Colfax crash
Law enforcement officials are investigating a crash Thursday involving two vehicles in Colfax.
The crash was reported about 4:45 p.m. in the 9400 block of West Market Street.
Authorities said an Acura being driven by John Kong, 23, of Greensboro, crossed the centerline and was hit by a GMC pickup truck being driven by Walter Crews.
Kong and Crews were taken to a hospital. Kong was listed in fair condition, and Crews was treated and released.
Authorities said Kong fell asleep at the wheel and was charged with reckless driving.
The pickup truck kept the other vehicle from hitting a nearby auto garage.
A first responder had taken the pickup truck to the garage for a tuneup, said officials at the scene.

Additional Skills
I am a fairly recognised personality in Malaysia.

Set your DJ up for Success!
Often, folks might not give too much thought about how or where the DJ will set up at their event, and they might not think that it even makes a real difference. If you're having an event at a venue that hosts events with DJ's regularly , then the temptation is great to simply go with the suggestion of the venue when it comes to DJ placement and setup. After all, they "do this all the time," right?

This book is one of many written by people who feel compelled to share personal experiences that have affected their mental health. In the Preface, the author confides she was victimized by an "ultra-authority," and, unlike "anyone limited to academic research or even therapeutic work with survivors," she has "been there," has been "healed," and the book has been "part of that healing process." This perspective suggests research is of little use, and psychotherapy ineffective, unless the therapist has had the treated condition.
Because the book is one person's experience and interpretation, the content is anecdotal, subjective, and may not be applicable to others. Then again, the author presumes expertise based on "a continually growing number of years of research, experience, observation, and intense thought and internal exploration," and "the invaluable work done by others." And on page 25, she proposes "Peterson's integrated model of ultra-authority."
The book contains 14 chapters, some with as few as two pages (e.g., Chapter 7); other chapters contain as many as 48 pages (e.g., Chapter 9). Some chapters are so brief they barely touch on a subject. Others are overly detailed, such as chapters on Manson, Jones, and Hitler. Throughout the book, figures are given and seemingly factual statements are made without citing sources. This lack of source citation makes separating the author's opinion or interpretation from objective fact or researched data difficult. Citations also would have helped to provide some basis for the author's sweeping generalizations, such as "It is well documented..." (page 385).
The book ends with a Suggested Reading list of seven books and a 5-page Selected Bibliography of 40 titles, most of them more than 20 years old; only one title is as recent as 2000. The material would have benefited from the many more-recent articles and books on authority figures and their influence on others. There is no index.
Advice the author gives readers seems sound but is based on one person's experience rather than on studies of many cases treated by compared therapies. The list of five persons to "stay away from" refers only to those who use obvious manipulation and omits those whose subtle, covert methods are more difficult to detect.
The material would have been more helpful if the author had encouraged readers to consult a mental-health professional if they cannot cope alone. The advice to "become your own personal authority" (page 385) is ironic. That kind of thinking has contributed to the development of "ultra authorities."
The book lacks references to the substantial body of clinical and empirical research and therapies used on similar cases. It does not make a significant contribution to clinical or research literature. What it contains can be found elsewhere, in already-published articles and books. However, the author is to be complimented for processing the pain she endured from an "ultra authority" and finding her way back to mental health and a meaningful life. What she shares can help readers understand how authority figures can misinform and even lead individuals to mental disorder, suicide, or the infliction of violence on others.

My admiration of Mickaboo comes (belatedly) from having rescued and raised an injured baby parrot in a foreign country. After 4 loving years, without any available knowledgeable help, it died from some unknown disease. I've since moved back to California. If I had known about Mickaboo, when my parrot was sick, or even beforehand, I think things may have turned out differently. The dedication and organization of this group is formidable. From discussion groups, to notices of lost and found birds, to care-filled training classes, to fund raising, phone calls, emails, follow-ups, vet care, transportation, helpful advice and networking – these folks/volunteers care tremendously what happens to unwanted, injured, disabled, rescued parrot-like birds. If this moves you to find out more, check out Mickaboo.org. Support them through Amazon Smile or direct donations.
I've volunteered with Mickaboo for more than 10 years now. While you might think "Oh, no surprise, a volunteer with the org gave it 5 stars, yawn" I assure you they're a 5 star organization. That's why I've seen fit to spend so much of my time for so long working for them, for no money!
They really care about the birds and everything is done with the well being of their charges (the feathered kids!) in mind. If you are patient and take the bird care class, you're sure to end up with a lifetime companion bird here, and a lifetime support group to go along with it. :)
I just LOVE this organization. Heard about them through my avian vet, Medical Center for Birds in Oakley CA, and found them on the web about a year and half ago. I have taken in several of their birds. The pictures I attached are some of the birds I've taken in. Mickaboo has very high standards for care and placement of birds that in many cases have been through traumatic abuse, neglect, or loss. They require adopters to take a free bird-care class, have a one-on-one interview and helpful home visit from volunteers so people know what they are getting into and understand how to care for these sensitive, intelligent, long-lived beings. It's all about making the adoption successful. The organization raises and spends thousands of dollars for veterinary care for these birds that are surrendered by owners, left at city and county animal shelters, or confiscated by animal control officers from horrific situations, and turned over to Mickaboo for help. They have hundreds of birds in family foster care awaiting homes. What a great cause! When you see all the adoptable birds on their website, your heart aches for these beautiful birds to find their forever homes. Also makes you dearly wish people would stop rampant breeding and pet-store sales. If only the pet stores and breeders would pause to think about the suffering, and send people to adopt the birds that have been sold to unprepared "parronts" and then let down!
I have been a Mickaboo volunteer for over 10 years.
I can't begin to describe how rewarding it is to help socialize a bird that has not been treated well and is being given a second chance in life. This is what Mickaboo does.
It's hard to believe that these two pictures are of the same bird.
But what a happy companion he is.
I have two birds adopted through Mickaboo, and two Mickaboo foster birds. All "special needs" birds. This is great group of tireless people who do fantastic work rehabilitating and
rehoming these intelligent and sensitive beings. Not to mention educating the public
about the special needs of these animals. Growing up, my family took in
and cared for many unwanted birds purchased by others on a whim at pet stores. As an
adult I wanted to return to helping these special creatures, and found Mickaboo!
I have had budgie companions for most of the past 40 years, but for the past seven years they have all been adoptions from Mickaboo. I'm also a remote volunteer (in Los Angeles) who handles things that don't require my physical presence -- website-related tasks, telephone interviews of prospective adoptive parronts (parrot parents) and the like -- freeing up volunteer resources in the Bay Area for other important tasks.
Mickaboo is not only a non-profit, it is a family. We don't just facilitate companion birds finding good forever homes, we share stories with each other about our own little feathered kids. We help people when birds inadvertently end up lost in the great outdoors. And we have likely saved the lives of thousands of abandoned birds who might either have been euthanized or become a predator's lunch.
We care. That's what truly qualifies us to do this important work.
I learned so much about birds by taking the bird behavior and adoption classes offered by Mickaboo for free to the public monthly. I had had a pet parakeet for 3 years, but learned so many new things in the class. The organization really cares to educate the public and potential adopters about the wonderful, unique and complex ways of birds.
I've adopted 4 birds from Mickaboo and am always impressed by the level of dedication the coordinators and volunteers pour into the organization. The organization is run completely by volunteers who do the impossible on a daily basis in their efforts to take birds out of crummy situations and ensure they're placed in excellent homes.
The effort of coordinating all of this always amazes me and, if that isn't enough, in their spare time they also help pet owners who've lost their birds re-capture them!
This is a caring, concerned and dedicated bird Rescue. They train and support their volunteers and truly care about the animals they are passionate about. They have helped me become a foster staff and provided the materials necessary for training. They have helped transport numerous birds to the foster homes regardless of where they are located. They provided cages for birds that come into this foster care without cages and provide valuable veterinary care to countless birds.
I lived overseas for most of my adult life and did a one-person rescue group. I came back and was astounded by Mickaboo. The hundreds or thousands of birds they help each year is amazing on its own but their classes to educate bird owners are free and I'm sure have saved another large number of birds. They offer phone classes for those that can't travel and have great resources on-line. The people that volunteer are already experts but they continue to learn and never let their egos get in the way of saving a bird. They've helped me chase down escaped birds, talked with my vet on difficult cases, gave me advice on getting my birds off of seeds and onto pellets... Among other things. The amount of energy these volunteers put into this organization is truly amazing. They don't ask for recognition but they deserve mountains of it.
A friend told me how Mickaboo fosters parrots until they can find a Forever Home for them. I have my own parrot and enjoy his company very much. It saddened me to think that parrots get abandoned or abused. I contacted Mickaboo and after several steps, I am now fostering an African Grey. Mickaboo has been very supportive and kind. It helps me feel connected with other bird lovers and I am enjoying the process of helping my foster parrot become more secure in himself, as well as teaching him a few things he needs to know to be a great companion to someone. Mickaboo may seem an unusual nonprofit, but it is very much needed! I am glad to be able to be a part of it.
I've been working with Mickaboo for almost 10 years, and the dedication people have constantly amazes me. We get a lot of birds that need homes, have health or behavior issues, and everyone spends a lot of time to socialize them (and Mickaboo spends a lot on vet bills :P We are a volunteer organization, but despite that many dedicated people are helping with our bird rescue in many ways. This organization really has the best interest of the birds in mind. With our education programs (free to the public) we bring a lot of people up to date with the latest bird knowledge, especially diet and dangers in the home. This is a dedicated group of people, and I'm really proud to be a part of it. And I'm very happy to see that we find good homes to adopt our birds. I recommend to anyone that wants a bird to take our class and be better prepared. This is a wonderful organization that I'm proud to be part of.
We adopted an Amazon from Mickaboo in December, and are so glad we went to Mickaboo first. Mickaboo's volunteers foster birds in their own homes until the right person comes along. They work hard to make sure their rescue birds will go to loving homes and they do everything they can to ensure the person adopting the bird understands the birds needs.
The photo is Gizzy, my adopted white belly caique from Mickaboo. I have been involved with Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue for a few years. It continues to be the safety net for so many injured, abandoned, and needing a new home birds. People in general don't realize there is a need for bird rescues but we have over 450 in foster homes in Northern CA. This is a great rescue and deserves the recognition.
Previous Stories
I have been a volunteer for the past several years. I am continuing to be amazed by the commitment and service provided by the all volunteer staff. Plus its great getting to know my fellow volunteers as there are really some wonderful folks in the volunteer corps. The commitment to caring for and rehoming unwanted companion birds is so rewarding for me as the proud parront to four.
I got my foster bird, little lovebird Ollie, from Mickaboo. They are always there for any bird any where, the most amazing rescue group ever!!!
I've adopted and fostered companion parrots with Mickaboo, which is the most effective nonprofit that I've ever been associated with. With an all-volunteer staff it goes above and beyond in accomplishing its mission. Its bird care training program is particularly excellent.
Mickaboo is a terrific organization! I have adopted two birds from them and have learned so much through all the knowledgeable people associated with the organization.
Mickaboo has been rescuing birds in northern California for over 20 years. We have no paid staff, no office, and our primary expenses are for veterinary care, equipment storage, postage, and the care and feeding of our computer servers.
We offer the same level of care and love to the tiniest budgies, finches, and canaries that we give to the biggest macaws and Amazons. It is a sad fact that the flock of pet birds needing rescue is growing. We are, however, blessed with amazing, hardworking, dedicated volunteers who are willing to fill their homes with rescued birds and the birds, in turn, fill the volunteers' lives with joy.
I have worked with Mickaboo and they are a group of wonderful people. They are dedicated to taking in and caring for companion birds that have been given up by their owners for a variety of reasons, found in shelters, on someone's propertyou, abused or abandoned.
Most of the volunteers (including myself) have a number of foster companion birds in their care.
Mickaboo offers support, and just about any assistance a foster "parront" might need.
Mickaboo is always looking for volunteers to foster or give a forever home to over 400 companion birds they have currently.
Mickaboo screens all applicants by phone and home visits to ensure the companion bird is the right fit.
I could not wish for a better place to volunteer. Mickaboo is a fantastic non profit organization!
This organization I feel is one in a million. They are amazing, patient and very informed in their topics. If you have a question it is answers right away and the emails are non stop which I feel is great. You get alittle or a lot out of each email.
Another think I feel about this organization is they never give up. It's great. I fostered parrots for them in the past and fell in love with one parrot. She was amazing. Due to medical circumstances I had to give up all my fosters. And being back in Mickaboo I found my baby again. I will be going to visit her soon and hopefully bring her back to my loving home. I know she is in GREAT hands and a GREAT home now. Mickaboo has always been full of very friendly helping people. Thank you Mickaboo

I just want to take the time and give a special "Thank you" to Coastal Scents Cometics.
If you do not know about Coastal Scents, please visit their site. They have great quality products at great prices.
Recently, I purchased some items from their site. I bought some make up palettes, including the Contour & Blush Palette. Everything arrived quickly and in good condition. I started using my palettes right away and noticed that the make up in the Countour and Blush palette was starting to break. This was happening without me dropping it nor misusing it. All of the other products I purchased were still in perfect condition so I thought the one I received might just be defective. I didn't get upset but decided to contact Coastal Scents to give them a heads up about what happened. I honestly was not expecting anything, I actually was getting ready to purchase another one. Instead, Coastal Scents sent me a brand new palette without asking any questions.
I was impressed and grateful for their awesome customer service and will continue to purchase their cosmetics. I am a professional make up artist and use their products all the time on my clients with great results.
Thanks for visiting my blog and feel free to contact me.
Much love always,
Claud <3

Winner's Guide to Texas Hold'em Poker This book by Ken Warren was written for low limit players. He explains betting strategies before the flop, after the flop, on the turn and on the river.
Tournament Poker for Advanced Players This book David Sklansky covers tournaments for many different poker games including texas hold'em.
Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players The title of this book is accurate. David Sklansky and Mason Malmuth wrote it for advanced players who already have a solid background in hold'em.
The Theory of Poker Sklansky covers all aspects of poker in this book. Everything from betting strategy to reading hands to psychology is addressed.
Caro's Book of Poker Tells Mike Caro explains how tells work when opponents are unaware of tells as well as when opponents are acting and giving misleading tells.
Blackjack And Poker in Las Vegas and CaliforniaBlackjack and Poker are two of the most popular games in Las Vegas and I enjoy them both. Both blackjack and poker require skill in the long run. Games like roulette are pure luck but blackjack and poker are thinking games. In Vegas I've had a lot of fun playing Texas Hold'em Poker at the Bellagio and at the Palms. Blackjack has also been a good game for me. I've had good nights at Harrahs and The Rio. I've had some bad blackjack experiences at Luxor, Bellagion and Monte Carlo.
Poker strategy is more complicated than Blackjack strategy, there are more variables. Playing blackjack is relatively easy once the basic strategy chart is thoroughly memorized and the concept of counting cards is understood. Poker is a different story. Similar to blackjack basic strategy, there are some guidelines to the starting hands but unlike blackjack, there is more than math to the game. Entire books have been written on the Psychology of Poker. Mike Caro has a book of tells which allows players to know whether or not an opponent has a hand. David Sklansky teaches the Theory of Poker which basically states that whenever you play a hand differently than you would have if the cards were exposed than you have made a mistake. Sklansky, Caro and other authors are discussed in our book review section.
Living in Los Angeles, I've made plenty of trips to Vegas over the years. Some of them have been similar to the experience in the movie Swingers where we're very excited about the trip at first. However, 4 hours later when the car pulls up on the strip some of the enthusiasm can be lost due to the drive. Flying is another nice option, especially since you don't need a car out there. One of the problems with the drive is the traffic. If there are no other cars on the road then one can go from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in 4 hours easy. Unfortunately the traffic can get so bad that the trip can take up to 12 hours. This is one of the reasons I prefer to fly there now.
Southern California has some of the biggest poker rooms in the world. Several World Poker Tour episodes have noted that the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles is huge. Having played there, I can verify that it is indeed a big establishment. I've also played at Hollywood Park in Inglewood. It is next to the Great Western Forum where the Lakers used to play before moving to the Staples Center. Blackjack in California is another story. Unfortunately it is different from the standard Las Vegas game. They call it California Blackjack and the rules make it a completely different game.
Book Reviews from our forumHere is what pokerfanatic01 wrote about various poker books in our forum:
First I'll talk about "Mike Caro's Book of Tells", this book is great. This was the first book I bought, I knew already how to sort of look for tells and a ctually spotted a couple in some of my friends, but my friends are either really tight or really loose, so it wasn't real hard. This book gave me a new insight into tells, I read about half of it and played a live game and noticed about 15 to 25 more tells then if I wouldn't have read the book, even half way! Now that I'm done with the book completely I haven't played in a live game which sucks! I find myself sharpening up on the photo quiz at the end of the book to keep them fresh in my mind. This is a must buy book in my opinion.
The other book I bought was Phil Hellmuth's "Play Poker Like the Pros". It is an ok book it thought me how to read peoples style of play, note I read only the Hold'em sections in the book thus far and read it before Caro's book, but he gives names to the types of players you will run into. These "Animal Types" are The mouse(tight player), The lion(a tough player that plays fairly tight but doesn't limit to only top ten hands), The jackal(loose and wild), the elephant("calling station"), and the eagle(one of the top 100 poker players, might not see this player but in the highest stacks games). Some people might look down on the theory he uses when betting, but he also says he's betting and what he does in situations relays a lot on reading his opponents but if you can read and use his advance you could be a strong player. I suggest this book as a second self type book, great for a different prospectus of how to play.
The next book I read was "Ken Warren's Taxes Hold'em". This book is also a second self type book in my opinion, good book for beginners and has a lot of stats and odds, but other then that if you know a decant amount about the game this book only sheds light on the mathematics. This book is geared for a player that has very little to almost no knowledge of the game, well that how it seemed to me. But it did give me a new way to play different types of hands, added another gear I guess you could say so that's always a good thing. I recommend the book for beginners or intermediate players, maybe advanced player looking for a new type of style or another gear.
The last book on the list is the Poker Bible. This book is amazing how easy it is to read and also how in-depth it goes. I can see why Texas Dolly had to change his style after publishing this book. He gives away a ton of information! This is a great thing for beginners, intermediate, and semi-advanced because it gives great details, a solid gear to switch to if need be. This book is on the pricey side but well worth it in my opinion and I have only read the limit Hold'em section! I found this book by pure luck at Sam's Club for 16.88 plus local tax! What a deal on a book as great as this, the list price is like 30 dollars.

Orange is the New Black is in its fourth season, and fans have been exploring it for the past month. The series has been groundbreaking. It made the term "binge-watching" a household phrase, pushed the boundaries for storylines, and has inspired legions of hardcore fans to spend hours online researching the show. OITNB is anything but predictable. The latest season created even more enthusiasm than usual, not only due to the cliffhanger ending, but also because of all the new faces that now call Litchfield Penitentiary home. Due to an initiative by MCC, the prison population doubled in size. A new bunch of inmates were transferred in, who were just itching to claw their way to the top of the food chain.
Fans are now scratching their heads about new alliances, wondering about the backstories of the new inmates, and are already hypothesizing about what will happen next season. We have our own hunches, but will have to wait a year and a day before Netflix releases season five. In the meantime, we want to give you all the dirt on the fresh inmates that have become your new favorites and got you hooked on the show all over again.
This list will do more than fill you in on who's who. It will inform you about the actresses that play the inmates. In researching this piece, we found that many of the newbies are actually very good looking – they had to undergo transformations in order to be believable as prisoners. Thus, this list will have them break character and show off their attractiveness. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
15 Olivia Luccardi As Inmate Jennifer Digori
Jennifer Digori can't seem to find her place at Litchfield. She isn't embraced by Red and "the family," and she isn't embraced by the minority groups like the Dominicans or the African Americans. So, she hangs with the skinheads and Kasey Sankey. This will make for an interesting plot line, as it'll be intriguing to see how she fits in – and if she makes her mark. For right now, she seems dim-witted at best. She has admitted that she can't read and is suspicious of literature because words put ideas into people's heads. Jennifer's physical appearance is just tragic. She has ratty hair, a stumpy body and a huge gap in between her front teeth.
Olivia Luccardi plays Jennifer, and in real life she is a looker. With her hair combed and some makeup, she almost has an Audrey Hepburn air about her. Her pale eyes sparkle, and her skin is milky white. Of course she still has a gap toothed grin in real life, but so do many other beauties like Georgia Jagger and Lauren Hutton. OITNB fans really want to see a flashback of Jennifer in her "former life" before prison, and hope to see her in all her beautiful glory.
14 Rosal Colon As Inmate Ouija Aziz
Ouija Aziz is one tough cookie. She has murdered three people, but is currently in prison for WIC fraud. Go figure. She doesn't seem like she has much willingness to be rehabilitated in prison since she is eager to go legit and start a gang with Ruiz. Even on her first day, she wanted to know who the head inmate was. Ouija looks like a street tough. She has long frizzy hair, a perpetual frown, and bulging muscles beneath her jumpsuit. Oujia can't stand the crowded conditions in prison, and acts out as a result.
Rosal Colon plays Ouija, and on the red carpet she is one hot momma. Her frizzy hair is tamed into manageable waves and she's got excellent cleavage. She even smiles! She rocks the whole smoky eye look, and has dazzling white teeth. Her transformation is amazing. She probably never gets recognized on real life.
13 Miriam Morales As Inmate Pidge
Pidge is one of the new kids on the block on season four of OITNB. She is Dominican, like many of the new inmates, and is often seen by Ouija's side. It doesn't take long for her to stir up trouble with Piper, the white supremacists, and the management of Litchfield. Pidge looks stone cold in her prison jumpsuit, and her no make-up look exacerbates her hard edges. She looks like a girl you don't want to mess with.
Pidge is played by up and coming actress Miriam Morales – who is super cute in real life. When walking the red carpet, Morales's curly hair is tamed, and her complexion glows. She also has some nice curves on her, which the audience can't see when she's wearing orange.
12 Amanda Stephen As Inmate Alison Abdullah
Alison Abdullah is another new inmate. Instead of being a foil to Piper, she ruffles Cindy's feathers since the two are bunk mates. It's hard to get a feel for what Alison looks like, as she is a practicing Muslim and covers her head using a hijab. Her attitude isn't exactly ladylike as she antagonizes Cindy with personal insults and mean-spirited pranks. However, she comes in handy when it is revealed that she has a secret weapon up her sleeve – or, to be more specific, hidden in her scarf.
Amanda Stephen plays the character well, even though her filmography is limited to TV movies. When she's off-camera, her physical appearance is attractive. We can see her best features accentuated with makeup, including her cheekbones and arched brows. As for her body, it has curves in all the right places. And her hair is a pretty shade of auburn. We won't spoil what shade it is on the show.
11 Kelly Karbacz As Inmate Kasey Sankey
Kasey Sankey is a troublemaker from the word "go". Not only is she a felon, but she's a white supremacist, too. She and her minions get into bad blood with the African Americans, all the Latinas, and also the white girls. Kasey's physical appearance is unattractive. Her body looks stout in the prison uniform. Her hair is always greasy. And her skin is yellow around the eyes and ashy everywhere else.
Kelly Karbacz plays the role, and is primed to be a key player in the series. Karbacz plays the part so well that it's easy to forget she's a regular person – and an attractive one, too. In real life, she looks like she visits the salon regularly to keep up with her blonde tresses and get her nails done. She also has a trim figure, and a surprisingly angelic smile. We don't know if Kasey's character swings both ways, but if she does, fans would like to see it!
10 Daniella De Jesus As Inmate Zirconia
Zirconia is what Piper calls a "thug." She's anxious to stir the pot at Litchfield, which includes starting a gang, dealing drugs, and being armed to the teeth with razor blades. Her short boy-cut hair is worn for intimidation, and the gold grill she wears on her teeth makes her smile all the more menacing. Zirconia is one of the scarier Dominicans.
Zirconia is played by Daniella De Jesus. OITNB is surely her big break, as her only other TV credit is from Blue Bloods. In real life, now with shorter hair, her looks are more unintimidating. She has pink lips, warm brown eyes and a feminine figure. She looks really fit, as if she eats well and works out regularly.
9 Emily Tarver As C.O. Artesian McCollough
C.O. Artesian McCollough is one of the new guards at Litchfield Penitentiary. She was chosen for her veteran status, since she fought in Afghanistan. McCollough doesn't quite know where to fit in. She doesn't always see eye-to-eye with the male guards, and the women she stands watch over often perplex her. She's the odd girl out. Although she can wear makeup and do her hair, she isn't that much better looking than the inmates. Her eye makeup is cheap, and her face is hard. She doesn't know how to fix herself up, so she even asks for primping tips from Maritza Ramos.
Emily Tarver portrays the C.O. on-screen. In real life, she looks like a blonde version of hipster-extraordinnaire, Zooey Deschanel from New Girl. Tarver often wears cute glasses and frilly dresses. She rocks the sexy librarian look with shiny lips and flowing hair. Tarver is multi-talented, as she acts, sings and writes. She's also funny, because she was a member of the Upright Citizens Brigade.

8 Francesa Curran As Inmate Helen Van Maele
Helen Van Maele is known as "Skinhead Helen" in season four. She's a newbie, but makes a name for herself right away due to her dislike of minorities. Her prison BFF is Brandy, and the two are quite a pair with their shaved heads and pasty skin. Helen's facial tattoos are for intimidation value, and they are totally effective. The only inmates that hang out with her are the other white supremacists. Even the guards seen to be a little leery of her. Helen is already getting a lot of buzz on the Internet, from fans declaring they have crushes on her to former schoolmates chiming in on what the actress was like before she got the role. A lot of fans really want to know what her backstory is, too. If previous episodes of OITNB are any indication, her crimes are probably not the ones you'd expect.
Helen is played by an actress by the name of Francesa Curran. In real life, she looks like a living doll. She expertly applies a ton of makeup to make her eyes pop and her cheeks rosy. She has eyelashes for days, and a smokin' body. Oh – she also has hair! Beautiful, silky blonde hair! She's sure to be a focal point of many future episodes.
7 Shannon Esper As Inmate Alana Dwight
Alana Dwight is another transfer courtesy of MCC's grand plans to stuff as many inmates into one building as possible. She has the misfortune of bunking above Red – and the misfortune of getting under Red's skin! Dwight has a real snoring problem, which keeps Red up at night. If you think Red has an attitude problem on a regular day, then try seeing her in action when she hasn't slept a wink. Watch out! Dwight tends to blend in with the other inmates because her looks on the show are average at best. She has brown hair, brown eyes, and wears a tan jumpsuit.
Off-screen, the actress that plays her (Shannon Esper) is anything but bland. She has a perfect body with long, thin limbs and a sizeable chest. Her chocolate brown hair falls in soft waves. And Esper's skin is snow white, with pale pink lips that are kissable. Some of the actresses on OITNB can probably get away with getting into character simply by going makeup-less, but we bet Esper actually had to have makeup applied to giver her a sallow complexion and sad eyes.
6 Arianda Fernandez As Inmate Michelle Carreras
Michelle Carreras has a low profile on season four of OITNB, but she isn't too shy to complain about the horrible conditions at the prison. Since MCC essentially doubled the population, there is a lot of dissent among the prisoners. You don't have to stretch your imagination to discover what sorts of indignities the ladies go through, from long lines for the bathroom to having the commissary run out of essentials. Also, the fresh fish feel like second class citizens because the original inmates have the run of the things. They have the best jobs, are settled in their bunks, and know the lay of the land. Michelle goes au naturel, with tightly wound curls which reveal a baby face – something that doesn't play well in prison.
Arianda Fernandez plays Michelle, and in real life she lets her hair go loose. That totally transforms her look. With cascading hair, she looks more grown up – and definitely hot! She has a body that rivals Salma Hayek's, and probably has some good dance moves since she was a cast member on the musical Rent.
5 Jennifer Brito As Inmate A-Rod
A-Rod is a transplant to Litchfield courtesy of MCC. She finds her niche right away with the Dominicans, and sets up shop in the hair salon. Let's just say that the girls aren't using the space to cut hair and give blow-outs. A-Rod isn't a major player, but she's part of the group and serves to give them strength in numbers. In her prison gear, she isn't cute like Flaca or Ramos. She almost seems to go out of her way to make herself look unpleasant. Her hair is pulled back severely, her eyebrows are bushy, and she has dark circles under her eyes. A-Rod really does look like a stereotypical prison inmate.
Jennifer Brito plays the role of A-Rod, and she is pretty in real life. She has long, dark hair, and a killer smile. Who knew she had straight, gleaming white teeth? Brito's body is amazing. She has a good sized booty, and it is balanced out perfectly by her chest. Brito's looks are versatile, as she also takes killer fitness modeling shots. He resume has range, too. She has upcoming projects with Fox, VH1 and Showtime. No one would be surprised if her character gets more screen time in season five.
4 Jolene Purdy As Inmate Stephanie Hapakuka
Stephanie Hapakuka is yet another inmate that has been transferred to Litchfield Penitentiary due to MCC's plans. She bunks with Piper, and the two have a complex relationship to say the least. Hapakuka catches a lot of flack for her looks. Her unkempt hair gives her an overall messy style, and her double chin doesn't help matters. The prison garb is boxy, and exacerbates her large figure. At one point in time, Piper even hires her as a "heavy" for protection from the Latinas. It isn't revealed what crimes Hapakuka has committed, but she was imprisoned back in her homeland of Hawaii. She's a fish out of water, as no one else in the prison is a native Hawaiian. Still, she makes the best of a bad situation and is able to play all sides rather well.
Jolene Purdy plays Hapakuka. Many a savvy fan has recognized her from Donnie Darko and Under the Dome. Her ethnic makeup is half European and half Japanese. Purdy gets a lot of press for being a beautiful plus-sized girl. She has glistening hair, inviting lips, and gorgeous cheeks – and an ample bust. Ashley Graham had better watch her back! No one will be surprised if Purdy starts to steal the show.
3 Blair Brown As Inmate Judy King
Judy King is the resident celebrity at Litchfield Penitentiary. She's not an import from another prison – she is a celebrity chef that was imprisoned for tax evasion. As a high profile prisoner, she has certain privileges. She enjoys some, and is irritated by others. Judy definitely looks the part of a prisoner, though. Her aging face sags, her skin is pale, and the uniform does nothing for those few extra pounds she put on as a professional chef. Judy can't even glam things up, as she is stuck with the same prison-issued shoes and pajamas as everyone else. Like Red, she does manage to keep her roots red despite being behind bars. Judy has a knack for stirring up trouble, and it's exciting to see how she messes with just about every group at Litchfield.
Blair Brown plays King, and has caused quite a buzz in the media. Her acting range is enormous, as she shows King playing the victim, being a s*ot and being downright mean. What most people are surprised to learn about her, though, is how good looking she is in real life. It's probably because she's middle-aged that people don't realize that she had to tone down her looks for her role. In her younger days, she portrayed Jacqueline Kennedy (left) – so we know she was good looking. Nowadays, she's still got it! Once she's allowed to style herself properly, her looks are on par with Helen Mirren's. She has a wide smile, bright blue eyes, and porcelain skin.
2 Natasha Lyonne As Inmate Nicky Nichols
Yes, Nicky Nichols is technically a new inmate this season on OITNB because she returns to Litchfield in a move no one saw coming – not even her! That's all we're going to say on that matter, because we want you to watch the show and find the backstory out for yourself. All we will tell you is that Nicky's looks haven't changed. Her hair still looks like she put her finger in an electrical socket, which wouldn't surprise anyone. Her lips are still thin and colorless, and her eyes are still buggy. Nicky also still wears ratty white T-shirts under her uniform, and rolls her socks up over her pants in 1980s style.
Everyone knows that Natasha Lyonne plays Nicky. Her styling in real life is reminiscent of Nicky's since she eschews straightening her hair, always has a look of mischief in her eyes, and often wears quirky duds. But when she cleans herself up, she's golden. Lyonne is a very attractive girl underneath it all, and we love to see her all dolled up. Her dark eyes sparkle, her smile is contagious and she keeps herself trim. We wonder if she does a prison workout to stay in shape. Knowing her, she probably does!
1 Asia Kate Dillon As Inmate Brandy Epps
Brandy Epps is a white supremacist that joins the inmates at Litchfield in the latest season. Her looks are startling. She inspires fear with her buzzed head, many tattoos and thousand yard stare. She's tall and a little lanky, but she could surely bust some heads. Brandy has no problem working construction on the new "chain gang." There's power in numbers, since she teams up with Skinhead Helen and Kasey Sankey. Her white power group not only adds tension to an already crazy environment, but it causes major problems for Piper in an unexpected way.
Asia Kate Dillon plays Brandy, and she's already getting a lot of press. She is a fine actress, but most of the media hype has been around her startling transformation. In the pic on the left, one can see how beautiful Dillon really is. Her longer hair gives her a more feminine touch, and her pretty eyes are on par with Lauren Conrad's. She also has excellent facial symmetry. This is one real life look that no one saw coming.

Why Should I Conduct Surveys?
Every day, school leaders make important decisions. These decisions range from different ends of the spectrum and may, perhaps, be in regard to tuition changes, the addition of a Mandarin program, or the construction of a new swimming pool. School decisions are often based on unexamined assumptions, which can result in costly school changes. This takes place when the facts do not support the decisions made. Although data is not everything, when combined with institutional knowledge, systematically collected feedback enables a school to operate in a strategic manner. As a result, the school can deliver its mission most effectively.
Schools conduct surveys for many reasons. Just a few are listed below.
- Measure parent, student, faculty, alumni/ae, or other constituent satisfaction
- Gather feedback from families who left your school, or those who applied but didn't enroll.
- Assess operations, financial position, and governance against best practice to predict sustainability
- Determine whether a capital campaign is feasible at your school
- Make a specific decision about an planned initiative
- Accreditation requirements
What We Do
We offer customized surveys that are tailored to address your specific needs, as well as pre-designed surveys that are based on our research and 40 years of experience in independent schools The goal is to uncover what you want and need to know. We begin with your school's objectives and then help you determine the services that best meet your goals within your budget. Our team launches the surveys electronically, compiles and formats the data, and offers a variety of reporting and analysis options. Finally, we can offer advice on how best to communicate and use the data.
Survey Options
- Student Experience Survey
The SEP II is appropriate for students in grades 5 and above. This instrument measures students' attitudes about the aspects of your school that ISM research has shown to be correlated with high student performance, satisfaction, and enthusiasm.
- Student Satisfaction Survey
Learn what your students think about specific programs in your school, including delivery of mission, curriculum, schedule, pedagogical techniques, athletics, co-curricular programs, social environment, and more.
- Student Alumni Survey
What's your value-added? Get feedback from graduates about how your schools opportunities, and experiences after graduation paid off in the end.
- Faculty Culture Survey
A positive, growth-focused faculty culture is the strongest predictor of student performance, satisfaction, and enthusiasm. This research-based instrument (FCP II) examines the qualities that matter most in the lives of students.
- Faculty Experience Survey (FES)
Just as students require predictability and support from their teachers, faculty need predictability and support from their administrators. This survey measures the teachers' attitudes and opinions regarding the level of predictability and support they experience from their administrators. The scores from this survey place your faculty's experience on the School Culture Matrix, ranging from "toxic" to "optimal."
- Employee Satisfaction Survey
While the FCP II examines the culture of your school based on what we know to be the primary predictors of student satisfaction, performance, and enthusiasm, this survey is designed to gauge faculty and/or staff job satisfaction, as well as to gain important insights about your school's particular programs, student life, and school culture.
- Parent Satisfaction Survey
In terms of sustained enrollment, your school is only as good as parents think you are, and worth only what they feel they're getting for their investment. This survey unveils what parents really think you're doing well, where you stand to improve, and gauges whether you are effectively communicating your school's value.
- Applicant Survey
Learn how families found out about your school and how they experienced the application and admission process. Examine why your new families chose your school and/or why other admitted mission-appropriate students declined to enroll. Discover perceptions about your school and gain insight in the areas of marketing, admission, and your competition.
- Attrition Survey
Parents frequently tell schools during exit interviews that they "simply can't afford it," ISM research shows that cost is very rarely the primary cause for attrition. An anonymous third-party survey gives you a more accurate picture of why students leave so that you can address any potential issues and take back control of your enrollment.
- Parent of Alumni Survey
What's your value-added? Get feedback from parents of your graduates about how your school's programs contributed to their decision to enroll their child at your school, and whether they feel their investment paid off in the end.
- Stability Marker™ Assessment Instruments
Position-specific surveys are directed to your School Head, the Board of Trustees and its President, the Business Manager, the Admission Director, and the Development Director. In addition, all faculty members will complete the Faculty Culture Profile II and the Faculty Experience Survey, and students complete the Student Experience Profile (see description above). The results of the completed surveys are tabulated and ranked according to ISM's Stability MarkersTM, our research-based indicators of a school's continued success and viability.
- Parent Satisfaction Survey
In terms of sustained enrollment, your school is only as good as parents think you are, and worth only what they feel they're getting for their investment. This survey unveils what parents really think you're doing well, where you stand to improve, and gauges whether you are effectively communicating your school's value.
- Board Survey
As a Board President or Chair of the Committee on Trustees, this instrument can be used both as an independent measure of your Board's strategic orientation and as a critical scoring component in the ISM Stability Markers TM. That total comprises your Board's score on the governance portion of the ISM Stability MarkersTM assessment.
Benefit to You
ISM has conducted more than 3,100 on-site consultations and hundreds of surveys with schools. Our solid background in private-independent schools and all facets of their management enables us to identify assets and pinpoint liabilities, and share trends with you. Each of our surveys provides confidentially gathered data and a detailed analysis in a written report that guides you in institutional decision-making.
ISM Survey Reviews
Mary Claire Steinbraker,
Norwood School has had a long and satisfying relationship with ISM for twenty plus years and we have always received excellent professional service and advice from them regarding our life and disability insurance and also our Employee Handbook review and re-design. So naturally, when it came time for the School to embark on an employee satisfaction survey, ISM was the first consultant that came to mind. The service and advice that we received from Barbara Beachley and Marie Kelly was excellent. Barbara guided us with patience and professionalism throughout the year-long process. Now that we have the results, they will also assist us through the delicate process of disseminating the summary results to the school community as a whole, including guiding us through any follow-up we need to make as an institution to utilize the results for the good of the school. Their knowledge of the survey process was invaluable to us and we will definitely continue to use the services of ISM for any future surveys. We would recommend ISM highly to any independent school looking to perform a first class employee survey.
Director of Human Resources
Norwood School, MD

Obesity Still on the Rise, Despite Raising Awareness About Eating Healthy
Obesity is still on the rise, despite many raising awareness about healthy eating, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. It is on the rise in both the United States and United Kingdom.
Results from a survey released by the CDC show that the number of obese adults as risen from 34.9 percent to 37.7 percent since 2011-2012. There were approximately 5,000 participants in the survey. It highlighted the fact that women have overtaken men, with 38.3 percent obese compared to 34.3 percent of men. Obesity rates in children have also gone up from 16.9 to 17.2 in the same time period.
This is the first increase the U.S. has seen since 2004. From 1980 onwards, rates were increasing but started to level off in 2004. A number of people have tried to encourage lowering obesity rates, including First Lady Michelle Obama with her "Let's Move" campaign.
In 2011, the United Kingdom reports that half of men would be obese by 2030. The Guardian said that it was a pandemic that needed to be stopped immediately. The Independent said that 26 million people would be obese by 2030. This would be a rise of 73 percent compared to the number at the time. Researchers said that the increase in obesity would mean that an extra £1.9-2 billion would be spent each year on medical costs for diseases that were linked to the weight issues.
Experts believe that medical providers need to change the way they approach the discussion of healthy eating and following a healthy lifestyle. University Hospitals Case Medical Center registered dietician Lisa Cimperman says that while people have removed certain products from their diets, they have not incorporated healthy foods. People have reduced their fat intake but increased their refined carbohydrate intake. These are just as bad as fat, and in some cases worse. There are now attempts to focus on holistic approaches to healthy eating, including eating unprocessed, fresh food.
