Plastic surgery
Plastic surgery is a surgery that is done to change the way a person's body looks or works.[1] Some plastic surgeries can change both. Work can be done on someone's bones, cartilage, muscles, fat, and skin.[2]
The two most common forms of plastic surgery are reconstruction (fixing body parts that have been damaged) and cosmetic (changing size shape or color of body parts to make them look better). An example of reconstructive plastic surgery[3] is fixing a part of the body that has been burned. An example of cosmetic plastic surgery is a surgery called a "face-lift": pulling the skin of the face tight so that the client looks younger.

TEEN: Procrastination
With so many distractions and excuses available, it is easy to not do something solely for the reason that you don't feel like it.
May 27, 2022
What is Procrastination?
As defined by Merriam Webster Dictionary, procrastination is defined as "to put off intentionally the doing of something that should be done." Procrastination is a serious issue that affects many people today, especially teens. With so many distractions and excuses available, it is easy to not do something solely for the reason that you don't feel like it.
Causes of Procrastination
Today's teens in particular are plagued by this habit. With the whole world accessible in a little computer in your back pocket, hours and hours of time can be spent (or wasted) staring at a phone. Just as there is an endless number of distractions available, procrastination results from numerous initiating factors that include pure laziness, tiredness, or lack of motivation. It may also arise from a genetic predisposition, or even through neglect during the developmental stage.
Procrastination can also be caused by too much pressure or support. From that comes a sense of rebellion, causing people to procrastinate even if it hurts them more than the people they are trying to disobey.
Common mental health disorders such as anxiety or depression, with their accompanying symptoms of stress, general nervousness, and an overall lack of energy and motivation, increase the chances of procrastination.
Solutions for Procrastination
Ways to work on overcoming procrastination are to set goals, eliminate distractions, and set up rewards.
To begin, create a focus-oriented environment. Choose a specific place and dedicate that spot to only doing work. Do not allow your phone or anything else that could distract you in that space.
Next, create a to-do list, but start off small. Too many things on the list can be overwhelming and will instantly turn your brain into avoidance mode.
Finally, bribe yourself! Set up small rewards for after each task, or a big reward for after you have completed your list.

The word around Cobble Hill is that Rag & Bone is going to be moving into the home of Downtown Bar & Grill, which just closed. A credible tipster wrote in to tell us that businesses in the area are talking about the news.
Reasons why this rumor holds water: Rag & Bone does love a corner store (see: Houston and Elizabeth Streets, Columbus Avenue and W. 68th Street, and West 13th and Washington Street). Plus, co-founder Marcus Wainwright just threw down for a $6.75M house on Henry Street.

Modřanka construction continues according to schedule
We are pleased to announce that the construction of Modřanka is proceeding according to the set schedule. Until the building is approved, future apartment owners can follow the progress of construction on our Facebook page or in the gallery.
Rough construction was already completed at the end of the year and the building is now being gradually insulated.
The project is almost sold out, but there are still apartments and commercial units available. If you are interested, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone +420 724 772 248.
On Thursday, 13 August 2020, we officially handed over the construction site to BAK stavební společnost, a.s., which is the general contractor of the construction. The earthworks began the very next day, and the final approval is planned for spring of 2022. This endeavour will create 50 new apartments and 4 commercial units. The sale of this last stage was launched in June of this year.
Please see the pictures in the gallery.
Did you miss getting an apartment within the previous stages of Modřanka? No need to despair, we have released the last stage of the project for sale. There are 50 units, in particular 1+kk and 2+kk layouts, suitable for individuals or couples. Or if you are a family and need more space, take the chance while 3+kk units are still available.
The final stage has one major advantage, 4 commercial units providing space for resident services. If you wish to open a grocery, kindergarten or surgery, check out the offer of suitable premises here.
For more information do not hesitate to contact us and arrange a meeting directly at Modřanka.
Phases III and IV of the Modřanka project, with a total of 143 apartments, are slowly filling up and coming to life. The last few apartments have been handed over and it's time for moving in. Phases I and II and the park (completed this spring) are already operational, so everything is ready for the new families.
If you haven't bought an apartment at Modřanka yet, you have one last chance. Early next year we're planning to put the final phase up for sale! If you want to be among the lucky few who get first choice, send us your contact information through the registration form.
BREEAM is a system for rating building sustainability. It considers projects as a whole, looking not only at energy efficiency and water and waste management, but also the construction materials and process used.
The sustainable solutions at Modřanka include a forced ventilation system with recuperation. Unlike ventilation with open windows, recuperation units can exchange air without letting in noise from the surrounding area. Similarly, the system saves energy on compensating for heat loss, circulating pre-heated (or cooled) air into the room. The units are fitted with filters that clean the air brought into the apartments of any impurities and dust, ensuring a healthier inside environment.
Modřanka received its positive assessment partly also due to its water saving methods and park planted with local species of plants, an insect hotel and drinking spot for birds.
On Saturday, May 18, 2019, we held the opening ceremony for the new addition to the Park Museum, with the mayor of Prague 12 and general director of the Horizon group in attendance. Matěj Görner, co-designer of the park, led the adults on a guided tour while the children played on the playgrounds.
The Park Museum now features nine new stations, called "atmospheres". You can walk through time and learn about figures like Elizabeth of Bohemia (Eliška Přemyslovna) and Jan Hus, and even visit the future. Will Modřany ever have a metro stop? One of the new displays is shaped like the iconic metro train wagon and intended for legal graffiti. Mayor Jan Adamec wrote the first message.
You can visit this 0.65 hectare park to learn more about the history of Modřany, relax with friends or spend the afternoon with the kids at the playground. Come check it out!
We are delighted to announce that Phase A, which will give a new home to 73 families, has received its final occupancy approval. Construction began in July 2017 and finished in February 2019. All apartments were sold long before the building was completed.
We will contact the future owners in the next few weeks to come for technical inspections of the apartments and then move into their new homes over the summer.
We are delighted to present you with this time-lapse video showing Modřanka Tower as it was built. Construction started in July 2017 and we kept you informed throughout of what steps were being taken, awards won, certificates acquired, and of course we posted pictures of how construction was going.
Now we are ready to celebrate, because the final occupancy review took place in December 2018 and Modřanka Tower is nearly complete. It looks so fast and easy in a 30-second video, right?
Our clients will receive timely updates on the building progress and the steps to be taken for the upcoming handover of units. Soon the new residents will be enjoying their views over the river and easy access to the city center. We look forward to the new stories that families will be writing at Modřanka in this new chapter in their lives.
We organized a meeting for clients of Rezidence Modřanka, phase A, with the architect Mr Görner in attendance. He talked about the concept of the Park Museum and what inspired him to create the whole complex.
In the technical show apartment we showed future residents how the heat recovery units and smart home system work.
Did you know that heat recovery units can circulate air without letting in noise from outside? Another benefit is that the air brought into the apartment is purified first, which makes for a more pleasant and healthful environment inside the home. Smart homes are becoming more and more common in new building projects. They give owners remote control over home functions such as heating, lighting, media, etc. This makes the modern home even more convenient.
For clients of Modřanka Tower, we organized a small gathering in the technical show apartment in order to show them how the project's recuperation units and smart home systems operate.
Not only does the use of recuperation units allow for air exchange without suffering from the outside noise you have to endure when opening windows, but it is also an energy-efficient way of preventing heat loss, since the fresh air entering into the living spaces has been preheated. The unit's filters clean the incoming air of all dust and impurities in order to ensure a healthier indoor environment.
Smart home systems are an increasingly more common element in modern housing. Such systems allow for the wireless and remote operation of various functions in the home, including heating, lights, media, or security systems. Everything is easily controlled from your mobile device using a special app. Our clients may still choose to install smart home systems as part of their client changes.
And because we didn't want to talk just about technology, we also invited one of our architects, Mr. Görner, to talk about his sources of inspiration and to explain the concept of the Park Museum to the building's future residents.

The Comicle restaurant critic, Soleil Ho, ventured down the Peninsula to lil ole B'game for some Japanese food and was impressed. Here Sunday piece notes
For a long time, Kaiseki Saryo Hachi had the air of a secret — a restaurant that existed only in hushed whispers among those in the know. A pandemic-born pop-up with Michelin cred, it didn't exist on any map. You had to text the owner directly to get a reservation and order the menu you wanted in advance, though there wasn't an obvious menu anywhere online. And it was hosted in a ramen shop in a strip mall in Burlingame, sandwiched between a yoga studio and a sports memorabilia shop. (That would be Lefty's Sports)
A precursor to modern tasting menus, kaiseki is an elaborate, multicourse style of Japanese cooking that centers seasonal ingredients and aims for a steady balance of color, texture and various cooking techniques. Only a few restaurants here, including Ranzan in Redwood City and Wakuriya in San Mateo, are dedicated to this genre.
I've dined at Wakuriya up in the shopping center in the San Mateo highlands Crystal Springs Shopping Center, but had not heard about our B'game option. Ho writes
When I finally secured a reservation in July, I faced a procession of intricate, summery dishes, a $200 per person menu with 10 courses that impressed the whole way through. Eating here is intimate: just one seating a night, with just a dozen or so seats in the cafe-like dining room. It's hard to feel too serious when you can see people stroll past the windows, pumpkin spice lattes in hand, which can make eating here feel more comfortable for people who don't love the pomp of fine dining. I think the ambience adds to the charm. Owner Yuko Nammo carries out each dish herself, while collaborator and husband Shinichi Aoki mostly stays in the kitchen during service.
Click through to the full article that describes the food so you can decide if you are up for $200 pp or not. With this much press, you may not be able to get in for a while.

Scott Dozier, a death row inmate in Nevada, was found dead in his cell Saturday of an apparent suicide, state department of corrections officials said.
Dozier, 48, was hanging from a bed sheet tied to an air vent in his cell at Ely State Prison, the department said in a news release.
He was pronounced dead at 4:35 p.m. PT.
Dozier was to have been executed in July 2018 with a never-before-used combination of drugs, but a judge's ruling regarding one of the drugs put that on hold.
Dozier was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of Jeremiah Miller, who was killed and dismembered in 2002. The victim's torso was found in a suitcase dumped in a trash bin in Las Vegas, according to the Nevada Department of Corrections.
Dozier was also convicted of murder in the death of another victim found buried in the Arizona desert.
Dozier's attorney, Thomas Ericsson, said in July that his client wanted to be executed. But hisexcution was delayed twice — once in November 2017 and again in July 2018 — because of the combination of midazolam, Fentanyl and cisatracurium that Nevada planned to use to execute him.
Legal concerns were raised over whether the drug cocktail would torture Dozier in his final moments. Death penalty critics have long argued that midazolam is not a pain killing anesthetic and would allow the condemned to feel tortuous pain from the following drugs.
Midazolam's maufacturer went to court to stop its product from being used in an execution. A district judge granted the company a temporary restraining order, saying the company would have suffered "irreparable damages."
Fentanyl, the drug that was deemed the deadliest drug in Americaby the CDC last month was not the main cause of controversy.
The third drug in the combination was the main subject of legal contention in 2017. Cisatracurium is a muscle relaxant, and a district court judge ruled that the state could not use it because the drug could hide signs of pain.
"Allowing the government to execute a person using a protocol that risks torture would be a grave injustice," the American Civil Liberties Unionargued in July.
Dozier did not make legal challenges to halt his execution. "Life in prison isn't a life," he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "This isn't living, man. It's just surviving."
"If people say they're going to kill me, get to it," he told the newspaper.
CNN reached out to Dozier's attorney, but has not heard back.
Nevada hasn't executed a prisoner since April 2006, when Daryl Mack died by injection.

Photos by Kevin Wing unless otherwise specified
In more than a dozen years of attending press launches, I don't remember any motorcycle that stirred as much debate during the technical presentation as did the 2014 Honda CTX1300.
There were only three journos present at the bike's media launch in San Diego, myself included, though our collective motorcycling experience added up to nearly a century. We couldn't decide whether it is a cruiser, a touring bike or a sport tourer.
Why there's so much confusion about how to classify the bike is easy to understand: its styling features elements of all of the above. Each of us put up a valid argument supporting our perception of the machine. It has a low seat height, mid-mounted footpegs and a long wheelbase of a cruiser; its V4 engine and tire sizes hint at its ST1300 sport-touring pedigree, and its saddlebags, Gold Wing-like fairing and sound system are clearly touring bike items.
Let's just say we agreed to disagree.
Many will be familiar with the CTX1300's 1,261 cc, 90-degree V4, though it has been detuned for the CTX by way of different cams, a lowered compression ratio (10.0:1 vs. 10.8:1) and 2-mm smaller throttle bodies at 34 mm. That detuning has lowered output (according to European specs) to 83 hp from 124, and peak torque to 78 lb-ft from 92.
This is a significant decrease but it doesn't tell the whole story. Peak output now arrives 2,000 rpm sooner than on the ST1300, so the drop in power doesn't feel as drastic as the numbers would suggest. The CTX also has an unusually low redline; at an indicated 6,500 rpm it is 2,000 lower than the ST. Like the ST, the CTX has five speeds and shaft final drive.
Beneath the bodywork is a double-cradle steel frame that sets the wheels 1,645 mm (64.7 in.) apart. Rake angle is 28 degrees and trail is set at 118 mm, conservative numbers perhaps, but ultimately contributing to rock-solid stability.
The frame-mounted fairing features styling cues from the Honda F6B, which itself was inspired by the Gold Wing (understand our confusion?). At the front of the fairing are LED headlights, the CTX being among the first bikes on the market to offer them as standard items.
Inside the fairing you'll find a sound system that features Bluetooth connectivity as well as a USB port hidden inside one of the two small fairing compartments. The sound system allows you to pair with your smart phone, as well as with a helmet-mounted communication system, something I had criticized the latest Harley touring bikes for lacking.
In Canada we will only get the Deluxe version (there's also a standard version available in the U.S.), which includes useful features like traction control, linked ABS, self-cancelling turn signals, heated grips and even a centre stand.
Contributing to the CTX1300's ambiguity is its styling. It has an unusually long and low profile from the side, it looks quite attractive — even sporty — from other angles, and is completely inconspicuous from the rear. But one thing that surprised me was the looks it was getting on the road. Whether it was bystanders on the sidewalk or other riders passing by, many took notice; some even gave it a thumbs-up.
There's no disputing Honda's claim that rider comfort was among the top priorities when designing the bike. One of my biggest criticisms with the smaller CTX700 was its foot-forward, chopper-like riding position. Thankfully the CTX1300 has mid-mounted footpegs and a swept-back handlebar that puts you in a very relaxed, upright position.
Unlike the 700, you can relax your legs, not having to constantly pull your knees in as wind tries to pull your legs apart at speed. The mid-mounted footpegs also help reduce the strain on your lower back, which isn't the case on the 700.
The seat is very wide and its raised bolster is far enough behind to allow you to move around and stretch your legs a bit. It's a very supportive seat that provides touring-bike, daylong comfort. The riding position proved itself quite worthy after a day of riding and there was no soreness or fatigue to report.
Its shorty windscreen, however, did little to provide touring-bike wind protection. Your belly is kept out of the wind stream but everything above it gets the full, noisy blast, though at least it's free of buffeting. The cure for this is a taller accessory windscreen, which I sampled and which works very well. It has two small cutouts near the bottom that reduce buffeting to an entirely tolerable level.
After my ride I was quite surprised to discover the bike's claimed wet weight, which I would have never guessed at 332 kg because it feels much lighter (or 338 kg depending on where you look, the former from Honda.ca for the U.S.-spec standard model which we don't get here, the latter for the Euro-spec ABS model which we do). It feels planted and is very stable, even when being blasted by wind coming off passing trucks.
The CTX has relatively light and neutral steering though you do feel its long wheelbase and fat rear tire (200 mm) in tight turning transitions, where it takes a leisurely trip to vertical before leaning back down again. It does, however, handle better and has more cornering clearance than almost any cruiser I've ridden, and it doesn't push wide like some fat-tired bikes tend to do. Footpegs will touch down eventually, though a quick look at the rear tire after a particularly enthusiastic blitz revealed only very thin chicken strips.
The engine is almost electric smooth, with very little vibration making its way to the rider. It doesn't lack pulling power, either, especially in the lower rev range. I haven't ridden an ST1300 in a couple of years, but my memory recalls it had a much stronger top end. This isn't a deficit on the CTX because the powerband feels broad and prairie-flat, and there's still plenty of top-gear passing power available at highway speeds.
The bottom end is so strong that the bike will pull top gear smoothly and forcefully from speeds as low as 40 km/h, which my lazy ass did often. And although it's unnecessary to spin the engine into the upper rev range, it sure sounds sweet when you do.
Although the suspension, which includes a stout 43 mm inverted fork and twin shocks, isn't sophisticated in specs (the only available adjustment is rear preload), it is sophisticated in feel and control. It keeps the bike planted through high-speed sweepers and does a good job of damping road irregularities, at least those you'd encounter in southern California. Maybe a bit more rebound damping would be needed for a very aggressive pace, but I don't think a CTX buyer would be interested in knee-scraping jaunts anyway.
One oversight is the lack of a handily available knob to adjust the rear preload; it looks almost impossible to get some swing on the shock spanner wrench with the saddlebags in the way.
The only glitch in the bike's smoothness is an occasional bump-induced jolt that makes its way up the handlebar and rattles your fingertips. It's not the suspension that causes this; it's the rigid mounting of the handlebar, which is long and resonates when you hit sharp bumps. Rubber mounting would have cured this.
The saddlebags are easy to open and each boast a 35-litre capacity but they are bolted onto the bike and cannot be easily removed. There are two small covers on the tailpiece, just above the saddlebags, that conceal mounting points for a stylised accessory luggage rack. A passenger backrest and top case are also available, though, disappointingly, the top case looks like a standard add-on box; a streamlined, low-profile box would have better accentuated the bike's sleek profile.
I didn't have a chance to measure fuel consumption, but it is claimed to average 5.8L/100 km using the European measuring system. This would give it a theoretical range of more than 325 km from its 19.5-litre fuel tank. Alternator output is rated at 600 watts, which is enough to power a few additional accessories like heated riding gear.
The sound system is standard, so you'll probably end up using it, and it works fine around town, but wind at high speed defeats the speakers' output, so pairing to a communication system like a Scala Rider is the way to go. It could also use handlebar-mounted controls, though the centre-mounted switches are easy enough to use.
Those small storage spaces in the fairing, although somewhat useful, are difficult to access since their doors open to only about 30 degrees so as not to come into contact with the pullback handlebar. The right one is deeper and is meant to store your media device.
Honda claims to have created a new category with the introduction of the CTX1300, though the company hasn't said what that category is. Truth is, the bike wears many hats, and it can commute or carve winding roads as easily as it can tour the country (with the help of a taller screen).
Touted as a premium motorcycle, as evidenced by its $18,999 price, there are several premium features, like the aforementioned sound system, saddlebags, traction control, linked ABS, heated grips and a centre stand. The centre stand is somewhat redundant, as the CTX will never need a chain adjustment or lubing. If I were Honda I'd nix the stand in favour of cruise control, or maybe even quick-detach saddlebags, since we were told the CTX looks quite nice without them.
Some might balk at the price, but when compared to some of its possible competition, the CTX has lots to offer. A Kawasaki Vaquero ABS costs $20,299 and is nowhere near as nimble; a Harley Street Glide costs $4,000 more than that and suffers from the same, non-sporting attitude, but at the other end of the spectrum is the Yamaha FJR1300, which costs $19,200 if you add the bags, has cruise but lacks the sound system. It also has more power and a sportier ride.
Despite our discussions about where the CTX1300 fits in the grand scheme of things, one U.S. journalist who attended an earlier wave of the launch called it a modern interpretation of the bagger. I think fitting it into any single category is too narrow a view to describe the CTX.
What I'd call it is the modern interpretation of the UJM (universal Japanese motorcycle). It handles great, is very comfortable, and with the addition of the tall screen it offers decent all-weather protection.
Whatever you might call it, Honda seems to have reintroduced the everyday bike.

Washington state cherries are a worldwide favorite. The
beautiful color, taste, size, and quality are widely known. With cherry season
nearing, WSDA is looking for inspectors to join the force for the duration of
cherry season (six to eight weeks), but with only a week before training
begins, we are not seeing as many applicants as in year's past.
"We usually get quite a bit more applicants, but this year
we just aren't seeing the numbers we usually do," commodity inspection manager
Robert Newell said.
WSDA typically hires more than 100 inspectors to visit the
local warehouses in Brewster, Chelan, Wapato, Wenatchee, Pasco, and Yakima. But
this year, several positions are still available with just a week to go before
the start of the cherry inspection period.
What a cherry
inspector does
Inspectors start training June 1, and over the course of
cherry season they visit cherry packing warehouses and inspect the product for
quality, color, and other facets.
If you're a returning inspector, training is a one-day
refresher course. For first-timers, this is a three-day endeavor where we will
teach you grade and sampling procedures; how to identify defects, what the
grade requirements are, how to sample the products, what the cherry crushing
process looks like, and how to best communicate with the facility where you are
Inspectors also learn about our inspection documents, how to enter
sample information into the computer program, create accurate documents, and issue
shipping permits.
In an effort to fill all the needed spots, WSDA has increased
wages from $15 an hour to $17.24 an hour.
Once hired, inspectors visit warehouses, sometimes perform a
sanitation walkthrough looking for debris such as leaves that may need to be
cleared out. But the primary work is to take samples of packed cherry boxes and
look for color, grade, size, and condition. Inspectors perform a crush test,
checking to see if the cherries are home to fruit flies. Once all the checks
are balanced, inspectors record the information and issue shipping permits and
other documents that allows our cherry packing facilities to ship the product
all over the country and abroad.
Inspectors are expected to produce accurate and quality
work, paying attention to detail as they inspect and certify fresh cherries at
shipping points for domestic and foreign markets. Making sure the grade and
condition of the cherries meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture and WSDA.
"By working together with our industry partners, we continue
to keep Washington state cherries a sought after product worldwide," Newell
How to qualify
To qualify for this position, you must be at least 18 years
old with a valid driver's license and a GED or high school diploma. The best
candidates also have the ability to work cooperatively in a fast-paced team
environment and have reliable transportation. If you also have the ability to
use good judgment, tact, and withstand stressful situations, this is the job
for you.
Some years, there's also opportunity for frequent overtime pay. Visit www.governmentjobs.com or agr.wa.gov to apply.

Resiliency, conflict, violence, chaos management. Thoughts and questions about the human animal and occasionally specifics on topics like self-defense.

transforming fear
"Aren't you worried that training for violence is going to make you fearful?"
"Doesn't this make you paranoid?"
"Isn't this going to make you cynical?"
Real people asked me these questions when it became apparent my training wasn't a casual game I was playing for entertainment purposes. At the time I couldn't answer from a place of personal experience, I hadn't been training long enough to know one way or the other.
I can answer those questions now and the answers are all "no". Training has made my life better. I do not relish finding myself inside a storm of chaotic human behavior and if avoidance and de-escalation are an option, I would absolutely choose them over anything else. If I am confronted with a situation where violence breaks bad I am under no illusions. I will adrenalize. I will experience fear. And I know I have choices.
This makes daily life more fun. I am comfortable with adrenalization and I understand fear and I know what and how my training may (or may not) be available when shit goes down.
And life feels better, stronger, understanding the what/how/why/who of violence.
Yesterday two active shooters terrorized an upscale neighborhood in Houston, Texas. I lived in that area for about 25 years and have friends and family still anchored in that city. The neighborhood in question is home to a friend. It is home to her, her husband and their three young children. Children they worked hard to have as they faced infertility issues. People died and were injured. Two shooters went through the neighborhood and as of today, details as to why are yet forthcoming. She and her little family "sheltered in place" for three hours. When death unceremoniously crashes through your neighborhood your best option may be to shelter in place holding close beating hearts precious to you. If death crashes through your door...the hard truth of humans hunting humans is now in your house.
I am grateful my friend and her family did not face that hard truth yesterday and this incident is a reminder. You don't have to go looking for violence to encounter it. Sometimes violence knocks on your door, literally.
I have been working with a team of trainers at the Silver Eagle Group for the last six months teaching a day long Active Shooter Response course. The course starts with a 3.5 hour seminar that's a mixture of Conflict Communication, Violence Dynamics & Logic of Violence built with Rory Miller. We have taught the course 3 times so far and we launched it in February. After yesterday's shooting I expect we'll be looking for dates to schedule another one sooner than later because the director of training at SEG is going to get phone calls.....when's the next course?
On one hand, I hate that fear brings people to these courses. But I'm glad there is a program that can make people's lives better. Information to stave off the increasing cynicism. Dialogue turning paranoia into a plan. Training experiences introducing people to their own adrenaline so they learn they can be afraid and still find ways to access their human brain.
That's why I started training. And now, it's why I teach. It's purely selfish, really. It feels good to spend a day helping other people transform fear into a functioning plan. Training, hopefully, takes that plan and puts it to use building a richer purpose in living.
Train for your life, not for your fear.

Akademy Report
"Who are you people?"
That's what the woman selling the ferry tickets at Varenna asked me once she realized I speaked Italian. She was definitely not used to a group of ~80 people wearing a blue badge. Another woman who was selling stuff on the street asked me if we were a school.
It's been an amazing week and a very productive Akademy. A lot has been discussed and a lot has been decided. On my side, I've hosted a Dolphin BoF where we discussed both boring things (e.g. where to send bugzilla notification mails) as well as the awesome new features we are getting into Dolphin. Alexander talked about the status of the KIO Fuse project, while Méven talked about his work on the kioslave for the recently used files.
On the coding side, I wish I could have done more, but I lost a lot of times fighting with Google bureaucracy which was required to create a new API key for KIO GDrive. We need to urgently sort this out because it is blocking a working Google support in Kontact. Despite that, I managed to write a simple PoC of KUserFeedback usage in Dolphin. KUserFeedback is very easy to use if you just want the basic reportings (OS version, Qt version, and so on.). Hopefully it won't be too hard to also get more interesting information, such as which are the features that our users use the most.
And finally, a big thanks goes to the Akademy team and the local team for the organization of the event. See you next year!

There is much room for improvement when it comes to income from inheritance taxes. This is the result of a new study by the Organization of Industrialized Countries (OECD), which was published on Tuesday. Accordingly, 24 OECD countries currently levy inheritance or real estate taxes, which, on average, account for only 0.53 percent of total tax revenue.
At 0.52 percent, the size in Germany is almost average. At the bottom of the list, Lithuania comes in at only 0.01 percent, with the highest share recorded With 1.6 percent from South Korea. European Union countries Belgium (1.5 percent) and France (1.4 percent) are also much higher than the average.
According to the study, the high concentration of wealth is bolstered by the current structure of inheritance taxes. On average, inheritance and gifts reported by the richest private households (top 20 percent) are nearly 50 times the values reported by the poorest households (lowest 20 percent).
According to the OECD, inheritance taxes can help reduce the concentration of wealth and improve equal opportunity – especially if they relate to relatively high wealth. It is also generally associated with less inefficiency than other taxes levied on the wealthy. In Germany, too, high inheritance taxes are being discussed again – as an alternative to the wealth taxes claimed by the Greens, the Social Democrats and the Left.
"While most OECD countries tax inheritance and real estate, the way they are organized has remained below its potential to generate income and reduce inequalities," said Pascal St. Amans, president of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Center for Tax Policy and Administration. There are good reasons to rely more on inheritance taxes. But it must be designed in a smarter way if it is to achieve its purposes. "

My favourite from a Winter of 79 perspective is the GRP (Glass-reinforced Plastic) 'Cromwell' helmet. To all intents and purposes a 1970's motorcycle helmet with removable visor.
The Cromwell gave the soldier on the streets far more protection than previously, but significantly reduced the soldier's ability to respond to verbal orders or audible tactical clues. Nevertheless if you want a full on paramilitary look to your forces, then the GRP Cromwell helmet is ideal:
Lessons learned from the Cromwell, were incorporated into the Combat Helmet (Northern Ireland) which appeared in the late 1970's. This was again a modern Glass-reinforced Plastic design and would ultimately lead to the MK6 combat helmet.
GRP Combat Helmet, Northern Ireland: Osprey Elite 044
Security Forces in Northern Ireland 1969-92
I hope you found this short series on the helmets used by the British Army in 1979 useful. You can see that by careful selection of figres you can increase the flexibility and range of miniatures available to you. Once again I recommend Osprey Elite 044 Security Forces in Northern Ireland. If you need just one Osprey title to allow you to paint British Army and security forces miniatures for Winter of '79, this is it.

My luteal phase support is progynova 2mg x 3 daily and pessaries 500mg x 3 daily.
I'm in the process of an i/course stim cycle (converted from IUI), I had BT the other day to check hormone levels after ovulation. Anyway it come back with low oestrogen & progesterone.
I've got progynova tabs & progesterone pessaries. I understand the progesterone but today when I got a new lot of Prgynova tabs the pharmacist gave a big leaflet and one of the first things it says is to not take it if you're pg, and yes, I'm hoping that I am!
This is the first time I've had to take supplements and just looking for other experiences and I guess just some support that it is ok.
Thanks in advance.
My luteal phase support is progynova 2mg x 3 daily and pessaries 500mg x 3 daily.
Sheree, I just read the beginning of the March thread & realised you are the same. I guess I just got a bit worried because it was something different.
Can't wait til our BFPs next week [-o<
Have you contemplated the dreaded HPT yet? Have you had any HCG needles post ET?

A wickedly versatile multi-effect unit with remarkable flexibility.
RatingsPros:Tons of options. Great reverbs and delays. Impressive collection of distortion models. Cons: Slightly confusing tap tempo setup. Weak rotary simulation. Street: $599 Line 6 HX Effects line6.com | Tones: Ease of Use: Build/Design: Value: |
I've always had a somewhat tortured relationship with multi-effect units. During my formative playing years I was easily seduced by loads of options and the ability to store more presets than I would ever need. At the time, though, the quality of tones never seemed to balance with the allure of convenience. Over the last 20-or-so years Line 6 has worked hard to make their emulations sound as good as they are convenient. Their newest multi-effect, built on the Helix framework, HX Effects, is one their most evolved efforts yet.
Hung Up on HX
If I were to succinctly describe the difference between the HX and the Helix it would be "All the effects, but none of the amps." The HX is specifically designed for players who want to keep their analog amps and effects but add a substantial layer of digital flexibility and options.
Along the top of the HX sits eight capacitive, touch-sensitive footswitches, which allow you to activate and bypass effects, change signal flow, move between snapshots, and much more. Above those sit an array of six buttons and push-knobs for manually navigating menus and adjusting the parameters of the effects.
Some of my biggest hang-ups with earlier generations of multi-effect units were the navigation and organization of the presets. In the midst of writing this review Line 6 released HX Edit, which allows you to organize, edit, backup, import, and wrangle just about every performance parameter from the more approachable interface of a desktop or laptop computer. But even before HX Edit I didn't have too much difficulty getting around. Within minutes of plugging it in I was able to go from an empty preset to a basic board with several drives, reverb, vibrato, and a slapback delay—all tweaked to taste and in my preferred running order.
I didn't count them one-by-one, but Line 6 lists more than 100 different effects in the HX—easily more than I'll ever use. Although there are only six footswitches, you can use run up to nine effects at once and assign multiple effects to a single footswitch. Since the release of the DL4 and its similarly formatted cousins, Line 6's delays, reverbs, and modulation effects have been solid and the HX's effects sound every bit as good. (Bonus for all you longtime Line 6 fans: All of the legacy tones from the M series stompbox modeler are included.) The reverbs can move from slightly spacious to overwhelmingly lush and awash with shimmery overtones. Want to go deep and have a pedalboard with a half-dozen reverbs? Go ahead. I tried it and it's fun.
I'm a huge fan of stacking different dirt pedals and the HX makes experimentation more fun than a game of Jenga. I routed an Electro-Harmonix Soul Food in one of the send/return loops and dialed up the HX's Minotaur for comparison. Although the controls didn't compare on a one-to-one basis, I was able to get veryclose to the Soul Food's feel and response. Combining Klon-style dirt with a TS-808-style overdrive enabled many different shades of distortion.
The Verdict
There are far more options, features, and tones here than I could possibly cover in a single review. Quite simply, the HX Effects is one of the most flexible multi-effect units I've ever played. With its compliment of I/O options, IR support, MIDI functionality, and smartly designed interface, I wouldn't be surprised to see it pop up in future Rig Rundowns. And I was very impressed with how organic the digital overdrives sounded. Whether you use it as a hub for your entire pedalboard or just as a grab bag of sounds, the HX Effects is a top-notch piece of gear that will add real power to your rig.

There is no secret in how to get success with a home based business. It takes hard work, a good plan and the willingness to be consistent. The more information you have under your belt, the better off you are going to be. It can take years to become a successful home-based business owner. It can happen in as little as six months if you really want it to.
Do you have a plan? You must have a plan. A business plan is very important. Your business plan will give you a way to stay focused and motivated during ups and downs of running your business. It will also help you see the bigger picture and reach goals that may lie ahead.
Do you know what your niche is? Niche marketing is very important when you are trying to become successful with your home based business. This is when you select the area of the business you are interested in. Do you like working with the medical field? If so, you should look for a home business opportunity related to medicine. If not, there are thousands of different types of businesses you could begin.
Make sure your business is set up properly. When people come to do business with you, they expect you to provide a high level of service. You need to make sure you maintain quality when you are providing customer service. Customers will tell others what a bad experience they had. If you have great customer service, it will be easy for others to do the same. If you constantly provide quality work, customers will be more likely to return to you for their needs in the future.
Be prepared to learn as you go. There is no way to get success with a home business that doesn't involve some learning. You will have to take time to research the different areas of business you are interested in. You should also take the time to learn about the processes involved in growing your business.
Be organized. A successful business does not run itself. You will need to make sure you keep your business well organized. You will have to plan every aspect of your business. Your plan will include how you will market your business, how you will get new customers, how you will expand your business, how you will manage your finances and how you will keep your business running smoothly.
Be persistent. People who are persistent are likely to be successful. When you want to know how to get started with your business, make sure you are willing to put in the effort. While it may not be easy to make money at first, if you stick with it you will reap the benefits of having an online business for a long time to come. Staying focused and hard work will get you the results you want.
Learn to think outside the box. If you have an online business, one of the best things you can do is to look for business opportunities that don't already have a product to sell. Find ways you can use your computer and internet to promote other companies' products without putting any of your own products in it. You will be surprised at all the things you can learn by doing this research and this can help you find the answers you are looking for as you start to learn how to get success with a business.
Set goals. As you learn how to get started with a business, make sure you set some goals that are attainable. Without having a clear idea of what you want to accomplish, you will easily get sidetracked. Make sure your goals are tangible so you can work towards them every day. The more concrete your goals are, the more likely they are to motivate you to action.
Be determined. It is easy to become distracted when you are just getting started with a business. Stay focused on the task at hand by staying committed. Even if you feel that you are being blocked by other things, take a few minutes to remind yourself of what you need to do. By sticking to your schedule and staying focused, you will find that you will be happier in the long run. As you learn how to get success with a business, you will learn that staying focused and determined will make the time go by much faster.
Remember that in order to learn how to get success with a business, you must stay dedicated and determined. It is okay to have goals that seem a little unrealistic. That is why they exist. Just make sure they are practical, reasonable and realistic. Do not let them define you rather your actions should be driven by what you truly want. Stay consistent in your plan and you will soon find yourself working toward your own success.
