Acupuncture is the process of applying needles to pressure points to alleviate pain and other uncomfortable symptoms. Conventional physicians have also started using these methods. This article will provide information on acupuncture and its advantages to your health.
You don't have to fear acupuncture, as the needles are usually not too painful. Rather than using ordinary needles, acupuncture pins are as thin as human hair. Pain should not be a problem during your treatment.
Before going to an acupuncture session, eat something light. If you're full, you might not get the best results. However, you shouldn't enter your appointment starving. You may feel nausea or dizziness after receiving treatment.
If you want to know more about acupuncture, but fear needles, see if your practitioner is familiar with laser treatments. This alternative treatment uses lasers from lights to put various degrees of pressure on the many points in the body without using needles. It's effective and it doesn't cause pain.
You should not fear acupuncture, since the needles tend not to hurt at all. Rather than using common needles, acupuncturists use thin ones. Pain will not even be an issue.
Be sure your acupuncturist is licensed through your State Health Department. You do not want to end up with an under-qualified practitioner. Your state's health department only issues licenses to people who have been adequately trained, and this should put your mind at ease.
Avoid eating a lot before an acupuncture session. You need to eat a small meal so that you avoid nausea and dizziness, but full meals are not good. Full stomachs are not great for people who need to lay down comfortably.
You may not be able to take certain supplements or vitamins in conjunction with acupuncture. Ask your physician if any medicines should be stopped before your first appointment. To gain the optimum results, you don't want to be consuming something that is going to interfere with the acupuncture working.
You don't have to tip your acupuncturist. This is a professional position and it is not standard practice to tip. They are in the health care field, and tips are not something normally given in that field.
You should gather a list of all prescriptions, vitamins and herbal remedies you take and give it to your acupuncturist. That will help your practitioner know how best to customize treatment especially for you.
If you're afraid of needles but want to try acupuncture, look into laser acupuncture instead. This alternative treatment uses lasers from lights to put various degrees of pressure on the many points in the body without using needles. This form of treatment is safe and does not cause additional pain.
Learn ahead of time how long your session will last. If you have several conditions to treat it may lengthen the session, but it usually lasts around 30 minutes. Knowing how long it will be can help you plan your day accordingly.
Strenuous Activities
Don't avoid getting acupuncture treatment because you fear that it will be painful. Most people feel nothing, while others feel a small pinch. Everyone differs in their approach and opinion, so you need to see for yourself. Talk to the acupuncturist if you think the pain is unusual.
Be choosy when scheduling your treatments. Don't schedule them close to strenuous activities. Resist sandwiching treatments between two strenuous activities, as your body will be more stressed out. You might have trouble with trying to get relaxed during your treatment if you do.
There is a state of relaxation and bliss reported by many after they have experienced acupuncture. In order to have this feeling last longer, avoid any form of stimulation, like watching TV. Acupuncture can help you clear your mind, making you feel much better. By watching television or playing on the computer, your mind will run rampant once again.
If you take prescription medications, have the list of them ready, before seeing an acupuncturist. That knowledge will help them devise an appropriate treatment plan for you.
Some people report feeling worse after treatment. This is usually the sign of a healing crisis. Your symptoms get worse as the toxins and germs are being drawn out of your body. If you feel worse after your sessions, discuss it with your acupuncturist. Together you can determine the best course of action.
You shouldn't have anything alcoholic to drink before treatment. Acupuncture is meant to help get the mind clear. The use of alcohol contraindicates the benefits of acupuncture. If you are still feeling effects from drinking alcohol the night before, it's best to have your appointment rescheduled.
If you're not liking something that's being done on you during your session, request that they don't do that thing again. There are many alternative treatment techniques available. This may include using heated needles. If heated needles feel uncomfortable, let your acupuncturist know.
Steer clear of acupuncturists that tout miracle cures, especially for chronic and serious diseases. While you can heal a lot of things with acupuncture, it cannot heal a lot of the more severe illnesses. Just take acupuncture for what it is, and do not stop going to your regular doctor for a serious sickness.
Are you having trouble with back pain, migraines, or arthritis? Conventional treatments fail to alleviate pain for many people. Acupuncture may be just the answer for you. This is a complementary form of medicine, or an alternative healing treatment that doesn't use chemicals. It uses the body's natural energy to heal itself.
Lock your electronics in the car before you enter for your appointment. It is just too tempting to have them near while you are undergoing your treatment. Even if you don't respond to it, hearing your phone ring or alert you to a text message can make you tense up, reducing the effectiveness of the therapy. Make sure you keep such electronics away from sight and far from your mind.
Following your appointment, be sure to rest up. Limit your activities and do not do anything that requires physical exertion. Be sure you go to bed at a decent time so you're able to sleep fully. You will have a more positive experience if your body is well-rested.
Some people report feeling worse after treatment. Believe it or not, this may be an indication of healing. Make sure to stop your treatments as the pain will only get worse. If you feel worse after your sessions, discuss it with your acupuncturist. Together you can determine the best course of action.
Discuss acupuncture with friends who have tried it. Learn what it was like and how they felt afterwards. You should be sure to ask these people how acupuncture affected them. The more information you have, the more relaxed you will be. Ask as many questions as you can to help keep your thoughts open about having a treatment.
If you're not liking something that's being done on you during your session, request that they don't do that thing again. There are many different variations that a doctor can perform. Some acupuncturists are known to heat the needles that use in treatments so that the heat will help to stimulate whichever part of your body they are working on. It it's uncomfortable, let them know.
Many acupuncturists will recommend a course of herbal treatments you should use prior to an acupuncture session. These herbs may be beneficial, however, they can also cause side-effects, or interactions with other medications you may be taking. Before you take any herbal supplements, consult your primary care doctor about possible interactions.
Ask how long your first visit will be. Once you're done with your appointment, you need to remain relaxed and you cannot do this if you have not scheduled appropriately. See how long it'll take and schedule accordingly.
If you stick to your treatment plan and what you may feel from it, it will work better for you. When going to acupuncture, turn off your phone and just give one loved on the acupuncturist's phone number, should an emergency occur. Try to relax prior to your acupuncture treatment so that you're able to clear your mind.
Speak with friends that have had acupuncture. Ask them how it went and whether it helped or not. If there was an obvious improvement in their health, they should make it known. You will not be as stressed if you do your research before a session. Keep your mind open and ask any question you may have.
Ask potential acupuncture specialists about their education. You will be able to choose between a chiropractor, a acupuncturist that's licensed, and a doctor that has acupuncture training. Which one you choose will depend on your own personal preferences, so learn more about the training each goes through.
You may want to keep a record of your sessions when you're receiving acupuncture treatments. Write any emotions or changes you feel after you have a session. Let your acupuncturist look at the journal the next time you visit them. He or she can see what is and is not working.
If they do not have a registered license in their state of practice, do not schedule any treatments with them. If the acupuncturist has no medical degree or state license, there is no way to know how much knowledge and experience he or she has. Always thoroughly investigate any practitioner you are considering visiting.
When you are shopping acupuncturists, inquire about each practitioners area of expertise. Some will be more focused on managing pain, while others are primarily focused on serious diseases like diabetes or even cancer. When you locate someone who is good at the issue you're dealing with, they will probably be the one you should work with.
Food therapy is another treatment acupuncturists often employ. This is similar to seeing a dietitian, but your acupuncturist will focus on a food's energy benefits rather than the calories they contain. You will be advised about how to eat to regenerate your qi.
Your tongue may be of interest to your acupuncturist, so don't be surprised. The acupuncturist needs to see your tongue in order to determine your energy flow. Chances are, he will listen to your heart, too, and ask you about the stress you are experiencing in your life. He or she will make use of this data in the creation of your treatment plan.
It is important to use your intuition when choosing your acupuncturist. Who was the most comfortable one to deal with? With whom did you have the best conversation? Finally, choose the one that can offer you their time and attention. Select the acupuncturist who feels right to you.
The acupuncturist may place needles in you in other places than your back. It is widely believed that acupuncture is only preformed when you are laying down. This is not always true. There are locations all over the body that acupuncture can be preformed on. What your issues are will impact where the needles go.
Wear loose clothing when going for an acupuncture appointment. You don't want a belt buckle plowing into your belly or a shirt collar that is too tight and cutting your circulation short. You should dress in comfortable clothing, like as if you're hanging at home.
Don't be surprised if your acupuncturists uses more than just needles in your treatment. Your acupuncturist might use massage, skin scraping and even suction cups to improve your circulation. This is a general tactic, so do not be alarmed if it is presented to you. If a technique your acupuncturist is using makes you uncomfortable, tell them.
One aspect of acupuncture is the removal of toxins. If you eat McDonald's when you get home, you're just putting that all back in. You should instead eat healthy foods, such as vegetables and lean proteins.
If you feel sick, tired or mentally unwell, try acupuncture for help. It can even provide relief for a headache or help to speed up labor and mitigate its discomfort. Read this article for information on how to find a reliable acupuncture practitioner for a natural remedy to your illness.
Acupuncture may offer relief from seasonal allergies. This method utilizes tiny needles to unblock the energy channels that are in your body's nerves. This will assist your body in ridding itself of harmful toxins; this can significantly help reduce any allergies you are experiencing. Find a good acupuncturist to treat your allergies.

Alexion recalls some Soliris batches
Pricey rare disease drug Soliris is being recalled. Manufacturer Alexion noted in an 8K that it was recalling less than 1% of its stock after tests showed visible particles in the medication. The company says replacing the drugs will cost between $10 million and $25 million, and that the recall affected only products in the US.

Give Piketty a break – read the book!
Two recent commentaries on Thomas Piketty's blockbuster, Capital in the 21st Century, caught my attention, if for no other reason than both show signs the writer has actually read the book. While both are broadly sympathetic, they are far from uncritical.
Benjamin Kunkel has a long review in the London Review of Books in which he effectively critiques Piketty from the left. While praising Piketty's "incomparable array of data" he argues that he pays too much attention to inherited wealth and not enough to wages and growth, and takes issue with the universality of Piketty's assertion that the return on capital usually exceeds the rate of economic growth. (Kunkel also has some interesting ideas about socialist ownership without monopoly, which I'll come back to another time.)
Former BBC economics star Steph Flanders's review in Saturday's Guardian is more supportive, although she also disputes Piketty's emphasis on inherited wealth. Flanders's most interesting point is also picked up by Kunkel: Piketty tends to lump all capital together, regardless of who owns it or to what use it's put, so that capital accumulation always leads to more inequality. (This seems a bit unfair on Piketty, but I'm only halfway through the book myself, so I'll reserve judgement.)
Both are worth a lot more of your time than the knee-jerk responses of free market fantasists (try Daniel Hannan or James Pethokoukis), who seem to think just pronouncing Piketty a "Marxist" will encourage everyone to move on (betraying their ignorance of both Marx and Piketty in the process). Most of Piketty's neo-con critics seem to have done no more than scare themselves shitless about his proposed wealth taxes or just got lathered up reading commentaries by their right-wing friends (who probably haven't read it either).
If you're going to denounce someone's work at least, like Kunkel and Flanders (or even the highly critical Chris Giles of the FT for that matter), do them the courtesy of reading it or at least trying to understand it. True, it's a big ask, but I heard somewhere that someone had published a condensed version (approved by Piketty himself). If I can dig out the details, I'll stick them up here.

I do not like football, but I love this movie and am always willing to watch it.
Great movie!!
This has to be the best movie of all time. Based on a true story, it follows high school football teammates who learn to see one another as brothers amidst strong racial tensions. An absolute masterpiece.
A good football movie. I liked it. There are positive messages.
AAAAHHHHHHHHH!! i finally saw this movie for the first time in 8th grade and i think im dyinggggggggg dont mind my grammar I DONT FEEL LIKE TRYING BUT OML THIS MOVIE MADE ME CRY SO HARD LIKE NO WHY HIM AND hold up w8 w8 w8 (dank memes) DOES ANYONE ELSE SHIP SUNSHINE AND GERRY BECAUSE THEY ARE MEANT TO BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. mmk. bye.
One of our family favorites! Seems like we always watch this in the fall when football season begins.
I'm not a follower of American football, but this movie goes far beyond sports. The relationships between the players, and how they evolve, are amazing to watch. The topic is serious, but since this is Disney, you get all the benefits of a powerful message without feeling drained out at the end.
Awesome movie!
Very well acted by the young performers. We always expect good work by Denzel Washington and Will Patton but in this case the younger actors were not put to shame. Great casting.

Sheryl Yoast: In Virginia, high school football is a way of life, it's bigger than Christmas day. My daddy coached in Alexandria, he worked so hard my momma left him, but I stayed with coach, he needed me on that field.

Suburban Virginia schools have been segregated for generations, in sight of the Washington Monument over the river in the nation's capital. One Black and one White high school are closed and the students sent to T.C. Williams High School under federal mandate to integrate. The year is seen through the eyes of the football team where the man hired to coach the Black school is made head coach over the highly successful white coach. Based on the actual events of 1971, the team becomes the unifying symbol for the community as the boys and the adults learn to depend on and trust each other.

As a stranger to Australian culture, Jock Zonfrillo foraged for inspiration where too few chefs had looked. He visited scores of Indigenous communities, from the Kimberley to Nauiyu at Daly River in the Northern Territory, to ask questions of elders about harvesting and cooking techniques and foodways and to get a taste of the land. Connecting all has been years in the making. At Orana, Zonfrillo's intimate Adelaide restaurant, a philosophy took form in dishes where lesser-seen native ingredients and more familiar fare found a happy (and very tasty) meeting place. Davidson plum on Spencer Gulf prawns, say, or Port Lincoln tuna belly with smoked gubinge and ruby saltbush berries. While he looks to Indigenous communities for guidance and knowledge, Zonfrillo is also determined to give back. His Orana Foundation is conducting research with the University of Adelaide (thanks to a $1.25 million South Australian government grant) to build a native food database, help cultivate commercial production of ingredients, and create new food industries for Indigenous communities.
Raise a glass to the winners of Gourmet Traveller's 2018 Restaurant Guide Awards, sponsored by Vittoria Coffee, Santa Vittoria and Ilve. What a busy year it's been. While there's lots changing in Australian dining, it only makes us value the basics - impeccable service, inventive menus and carefully curated wine lists - even more. Here are the best of the best.

United Nations
Historically, international labour and social policy debates were exclusively within the mandate and purview of the International Labour Organization (ILO). However, increasingly there is growing realisation that such issues cannot always be simply discussed in isolation from wider economic and environmental concerns.
As other UN agencies, as well as standing bodies of the UN such as the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) deal increasingly with social policy perspectives, the IOE is widening its engagement to ensure that the voice of business is heard and taken into account.
This broader engagement is enhanced by the fact that since 1947 the IOE has enjoyed formal (general) consultative status within the UN, thereby allowing access across the full range of debates in the various forums.
Details of IOE work in the many UN agencies and bodies can be found on the following pages of the IOE website:

Every room in your home can use organisation even during school season.
Most parents think that home organisation is impossible with kids still in school age.
Home organisation can actually come easy even if your kids are still going to school.
Organising the kitchen
If you count how many times you and your family members go in and out of the kitchen a day, you would be astonished. They don't call it the "heart of the home" for nothing. On school days your kitchen is the scene for hurried breakfasts, grab and go coffees and in the evening can turn into homework central before dinner. Organise your kitchen based on your family and lifestyle. Depending on the age of your children organise sections of the refrigerator for school-aged children who pack their lunch. For teenagers, dedicate a pantry shelf to their food and keep handy "after school" snacks in an area where children can reach them without asking for assistance. Encourage the family to gather around the dining room table for family meals as much as possible.
Neutral Family Room
For most families, having kids that go to school means a home cluttered with school supplies, books, toddler toys and chaotic family belongings. Dedicate your family and living rooms to a neutral territory. Provide a space where kids and parents can unwind and enjoy television, share a conversation, without disturbing other family members. Create essential organisation for video games, books, and magazines in storage ottomans, bookshelves, built-in entertainment systems that allow for the family to "hang out" at the right times.
Every room in your home can use organisation
From your entryway to your home to the laundry room or basement, your family goes through a lot of routines during the course of an average school day. Make each room decluttered from the summer and ready for fall is the first step to getting an organised home. Assess your family's lifestyle and their school schedule to determine what areas of your home should be tackled first. Any room that you and your kids waste time looking for items: kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, kids' rooms… need to get organised!
Getting out of the house on time
The trick to getting out of the house each morning on time is to have an organised home. Assess your front door entry and foyer, mudroom or utility room and/or the back door from the garage. Whichever is the point of entry for the majority of "family traffic" in the mornings and evenings. An area to hang coats, backpacks and hats for the kids is essential and a seating area is ideal. For parents ensure an area for personal belongings like purse and wallet, smart phone chargers and key storage can help you keep everything in one spot without hunting for them when time is of the essence. Try to get in the habit of having your kids place belongings here at night so their morning routine is less stressful.
Start off small
Just like a routine for school schedules, the same is true for your home's organisation. Start off small by decluttering areas that have old homework such as kids' desks and take down old crafts and artwork to make way for the new. Decide how you want to archive your children's work. A few pieces can be framed and displayed in your home, while others can be scanned or photographed and kept electronically to keep your home clutter free as the school years go on.
Organizing Laundry room
While most would argue that bathrooms are the dirtiest room, the laundry room sees its share of dirt and grime, especially with school-aged children. School time means extra-curricular sports uniforms with playgrounds adding a hefty share of dirt for your weekly laundry. Organizing with individual hampers per family member to keep clothes separate. Consider creating a laundry schedule for the family to avoid excessive traffic in your laundry room. Organize cleaners and detergents in cabinets or shelving above, and have older family members pitch in with the folding and sorting of clothes.
Kids' closet Organisation
Let's face it, when it comes to organising your kids closet – getting them out of their rooms is key, right? Purge old clothes in their closets. Too small, or out of season clothes can be donated to charity or given to younger siblings. Go through their closet with your kids, it will solve the "Mom what did you do with my favorite sweater?" yells in the morning and will help them keep up with their own belongings. Organise clothes by school functions, sports and other activities to ease the time in finding outfits to wear in the morning.
Study and play area organisation
Your child needs an area to do homework, study, read and play. Have an area for your kids to be creative but also to study and be productive. If possible keep television and media equipment in another room, than quiet and productive spaces to avoid the temptation of kids wanting to do both at the same time. If your kids share a study desk area with the family room or communal play area – organise your space to allow for storage of each function of belongings and supplies. Without a place to hang their regular art projects, the piles of art can get out of hand.
Bathroom organisation can help you and your kids
Children and adults spend more time in the bathroom than almost any room in the entire house. Second after the kitchen, your bathroom and the kids' bathroom should be given a lifestyle makeover. Meaning, determine what keeps you and your kids in the bathroom so long. Organise toiletries for kids in marked baskets, or fun color washable plastic bins for younger children and their bath essentials. Older kids and teenagers can store hair accessories, styling aids, makeup and other toiletries on high shelving in adjacent linen closets or built-in pull out baskets. Behind the door storage like robe hooks and towel rails are helpful too and can help cut down time fumbling for bath items in the morning.
Kids will always either love or hate going to school, but an organized home will benefit everyone when school schedules are tight and time is of the essence. Organising your home this will free up time to attend your kids' activities after school, spend more time enjoying a family dinner and toss the football in the backyard with your kids.

Samsung Pay has been missing support for Discover cards since its launch almost two years ago. Discover isn't the most popular card, but the lack of support did exclude a big chunk of people from using Samsung's unique mobile payment system.
Though there is no official announcement yet, Samsung Pay users are now able to add and use Discover cards. If you have one, try adding it to Samsung Pay.
Though this only brings it in line with Android Pay and Apple Pay, it's still a win for users of the service. Let us know how it works for you!

This is my birthday month, next week is my birthday week. Have you ever reached that point where you don't want to do anything on your birthday? Like it's not a big deal anymore? I have. Sure, who wouldn't want feel special, to feel loved, who doesn't want gifts? For me, I'd be happy and content with just birthday greetings from my family and close friends. To know I'm not forgotten.
I just want to lay down, do nothing, maybe drink wine, and enjoy a beautiful sunset. And yes go to church and give thanks, like I always do every year. I just like a day, a day with no stress, a day of no decision-making, a day of not thinking of household chores. I'm tired of dreaming, I'm tired of saying, "Maybe one day.". I'm tired of picturing a great day. Maybe I should expect less, in life, in general. Maybe I'm just getting old. And when you get old, you want simpler things, peace and quiet and a happy heart. That's all matters anyway.
Happy birthday to me.

He might not be much of a household name given he is yet to make his senior debut at club level yet, but if River Plate and Argentina's young goalkeeper Augusto Batalla makes the strongly rumoured switch to Real Madrid then expect to hear a lot more about the 19-year-old.
Who is Augusto Batalla?
Born in the neighbourhood of Hurlingham, just west of Buenos Aires, Batalla has been part of River Plate's youth sides since childhood and despite not appearing for the first team yet is considered by coaches in Argentina to be a player of enormous potential after starring for the Albiceleste under-17s and under-20s.
In 2011, having already caught the attention of coaches whilst playing for River, Batalla travelled to Uruguay for the under-15 South American Championship under the guidance of Miguel Angel Lemme. This was the beginning of a long running connection with the Argentine youth sides and although La Albiceleste could only finish third, Batalla had cemented his position as the number one.
It was in 2013 when Batalla really made scouts take notice when he and has teammates from the under-15s stepped up to under-17 level and lifted the South American Championship on home soil. A month later, River travelled to Spain for the under-17 World Club Championships and it is reported that it was in this tournament that Madrid first began chasing the youngster's signature.
Real Madrid actually defeated River in the group stage but both sides qualified for the knockout stages where River then defeated Barcelona and Atletico Madrid en route to being crowned champions. Batalla kept clean sheets in both matches and was the penalty hero in the semi-final against Barcalona before being named the goalkeeper of the tournament.
Later in the year Argentina under-17s travelled to the United Arab Emirates for the World Cup but lost in the semi-final to a strong Mexican side. However, that was not to be the end of Batalla's success in national colours as this January, the under-20s captured the South American Championship.
With three clean sheets from the five matches in the final round, Batalla was of huge importance to the side and although World Cup disappointment followed, the 19-year-old has been earmarked for future success having come through all the youth sides.
Are Madrid really looking to tie up a deal?
According to Spanish newspaper Marca, Real Madrid have been tracking Batalla since witnessing his display in the Club World Championship for River in 2013 and a deal has been strongly rumoured ever since.
River president Rodolfo D'onofrio confirmed this link earlier this year and was quoted as saying: "The contract hasn't been signed yet but in June, Batalla will to to Madrid on a one-year loan, with an option to buy for a large sun."
This deal hasn't yet been finalized but the interest is very real. River, like all Argentine clubs, are in desperate need of money as the monthly costs of running the club sees them run at a loss, only to be balanced by player sales.
As much potential as Batalla may have he is yet to have any impact at first team level. The number one spot is filled by the hugely reliable Marcelo Barovero and with the reported figure being touted as high as €10 million it is little wonder that D'onofrio is willing to let Batalla go.
There are few clubs in world football who are able to spend that type of money on a promising young player, who will not be considered for the first team for a number of years but Real are one of them.
What will Batalla bring to Madrid?
Well, at this point Batalla will bring nothing more than potential as he will make no impression on the Real Madrid first team for a little while. The idea is that he would go straight into Zinedine Zidane's Castilla squad alongside the talented Norwegian talent Martin Odegaard but the hope would be that with the correct development, Madrid would have a top goalkeeper for many years.
At six feet two inches, Batalla is not the tallest goalkeeper but is an agile shot stopper and a decent enough penalty box presence at youth level.
With the reported interest of Real Madrid such common knowledge, Batalla's under-20 coach Humberto Grondona said in January: "Real Madrid are guaranteed a goalkeeper with a brilliant future. Augusto has everything he could need to go continue making progress. It is not just that he has the footballing qualities that make him stand out from the rest, but also that as a person he is very mature for his age."
Of course, signing any young player comes with no guarantee but Grondona is correct in saying that Batalla has all the tools to be a top goalkeeper.
A move to Real would be a testing one, but would be a wonderful place to develop to the level of world class that Madrid and Argentina would be hoping.

The story kinda starts in November,2009
I was a huge fan of the famous cartoon ''Avatar:The last airbender'',
and for that reason I watched a lot of videos of it on YouTube.
It was just a matter of time until the first anime suggestion
showed up on my YT homepage.
The anime was called ''lucky star'',
a pretty famous ''Slice of life'' Anime.
My curiosity took over,and watched the video,
It was Japanese dubbed which was a downer
but I kept watching until episode 5.
I gave up after that.
But,I couldn't stop thinking about it,it was so normal,but weird at the same time.
I figured,maybe there was an English version of it online,
ofcourse,there was a dubbed version.
I was so glad that I could finally follow the story,so I kept watching.
I watched the whole series in 2 days,it was much better than I had expected.
After that,
a lot of anime's followed.
Great names such as,
Clannad,The melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya,Darker Than Black,Death Note,Code Geass,...
It became a big hobby,which I couldn't get rid of.
My first anime video came online in December 2010,
''My top 10 anime openings'' part 1 and 2.
I got a warning of copyright violation the minute they got online,
I ignored it.
Views went pretty well, 10.000 views in 6 months,not bad for the first anime vid.
I decided to do another one,this time,I'd show an ''easter-egg'' in the anime Angel Beats.
again.a warning,which I ignored.
But... a month later (June 2011) it got deleted,and my channel got it's first strike..
Soon after the first one,the second strike occured,this time on my other anime vid (part 2)
2/3 strikes.
I decided to take of the first part as well.
In the end of November 2011 I thought about it again,
I did some research and found out that YouTube really was strict on anime vids,
But I didn't want to give up just yet.
I decided to get my little ''revenge'' by starting up an anime channel.
On the first of December, AnimeBijon was born.
At first I tried AnimeVision,but that name was already in use.
So I took the Japanese translation of ''Vision'',which is ''Bijon''.
I started to get ready for the launch date,the first of January 2012.
December was a busy month,
I had to make a list of videos,I had to design a logo,...
But I made the deadline in time.
After I uploaded the first few vids,I got Sony Vegas 11.
I experimented a bit and got better with colour-correcting,even tho I'm still experimenting.
On friday the 13th of January,my main channel got deleted for not being linked to a gmail account...
So far,AnimeBijon is a bigger succes than I had imagined.
Almost 10.000 total upload views in just about 4 months?
I'll try and post something on this blog now and then ;)
See you later! :D

Diagnosis, tests & Treatment
Specific types of valvular heart disease are diagnosed using electrocardiography (EKG), echocardiography, certain x-ray studies, and/or cardiac catheterization.
An EKG provides a record of electrical changes in the heart muscle during the heartbeat. Echocardiography uses sound waves to make images of the heart. These images can show if there are any abnormalities of the heart valves.
Cardiac catheterization is a procedure in which a small tube (called a catheter) is inserted into an artery and passed into the heart. It is used to measure pressure in the heart and the amount of blood pumped by the heart.
The treatment of specific valvular heart diseases will vary, depending on the valve involved and the extent of damage or malfunction. Some patients will not require treatment and many will be treated with medication. Sometimes, patients need surgery. If multivalvular disease is suspected or involved, different valves may be evaluated during surgery on one of the affected valves.

Cell-Only Population: Young and Tech Savvy
The 7 to 9 percent of the population who opt for a cell phone instead of a landline skews younger, less affluent.
The 7 to 9 percent of the population who opt for a cell phone instead of a landline skews younger, less affluent.
Americans without landline subscriptions, who rely on cell phones as their primary line of communications, tend to be younger, less affluent, single, and more liberal. That's according to "The Cell Phone Challenge to Survey Research," a report released by The Pew Research Center and based on a survey conducted in association with the Pew Internet & American Life Project, The Associated Press, and AOL.
Seven to nine percent of Americans don't have home phone lines and use their cell phones as a primary phone. Just under half (48 percent) of cell-only respondents are under 30. Thirty-five percent are 30 to 49. About 55 percent of cell-only respondents are men, and 46 percent are women.
A larger number of those without a landline are single: 71 percent compared to 29 percent of cell-only respondents who are married. The cohort relying on cell phones also tends to rent. Twenty-four percent of wireless-only users own their home, compared to 65 percent who don't. The group also includes a higher proportion of minorities. Fourteen percent of cell-only users are Hispanic; the minority group makes up only 6 percent of landline users.
The landline group carries a higher proportion of college graduates (36 percent) than cell-only (28 percent). Thirty-three percent of cell-only users say they have some college, compared to 24 percent of landline subscribers, suggesting a heavy reliance on cell phones among current college students.
More than half (53 percent) of cell-only households have family incomes of under $30,000, compared to 25 percent of the landline sample.
Although the survey singles out respondents who only have cell phones, it also looks at predisposition to the use of land-based lines or cell phone lines when making calls. Of the respondents contacted on their cell phones, a majority (73 percent) have both land and cell phone accounts. Of that group, 62 percent make more calls on their cell phones. Those contacted on a landline who also have a cell phone use the landline 48 percent of the time, compared to their cell phone for 42 percent of calls.
A number of landline users surveyed said they are considering opting out of their commitment. Twenty-three percent of landline users are considering the switch. Fifty-five percent are not likely to give up their landline in favor of a cell phone. Those considering a change skew younger; 40 percent of those considering dropping their landline service are under 30, versus the 19 percent who are over 30.
The report addresses a concern that cell-only users won't be able to participate in opinion polls and other telephone-based surveys.
In terms of participation in traditional telephone surveys for political purposes, the cell-only population who drop out of participation minimally affect results. When cell-only respondents were included in a telephone poll among a standard landline sample, the overall results of the poll differed by about one percentage point on any of nine key political questions.
Cell-only users tend to be more positive toward computers and technology. This group is even more positive than those cell phone users who still pay for a landline. One caveat is that cell-only users are limited to the type of Internet connection available. Cell-only users are less likely to subscribe to Internet service using a DSL or dial-up line due to the lack of a landline in the home.
A random digit dial survey was fielded to 1,503 U.S. adults. In the sampling, 752 were contacted on a conventional landline, and 751 were contacted on a cell phone. Within the group contacted on their cell phones, 200 (27 percent) said their cell phones were their only phones. The interviews were conducted from March 8 to March 28 of this year, and the time it took respondents to answer the survey was about 11 minutes.

Over the past several years, Arsenal have been labelled as a side that 'lacks steel'.
For all the attacking flair that they possess, defensive naivety has been their achilles heel. It has possibly been the catalyst behind the disintegration of numerous title campaigns which were looking so promising.
Another major criticism of Arsene Wenger's Arsenal sides, since moving to the Emirates Stadium is the small amount of 'leaders' at their disposal.
The several collapses during the February/March period of a league season have become all too frequent for Arsenal fans. And around that time, when big players are needed to take their side over the line, Arsenal have been found wanting.
After yet another title challenge falling to pieces last year, it seemed like Wenger had enough. It was evident that his team needed a player who would fill a void left for so long and perhaps in doing so, fill the final piece of the Arsenal jigsaw.
So when news broke of an attempt to sign German international defender Shkodran Mustafi during the summer, Arsenal fans had every reason to be excited.
This was a man who, at the age of 24, had already won a World Cup and enjoyed a stellar campaign with his club Valencia.
Sky Sports' La Liga commentator Rob Palmer noted Mustafi as 'exceptional' and a 'standout defender in the division'. Stats such as Mustafi's average interceptions per game of 4.4 – the third best in La Liga – did nothing but justify Palmer's high praise.
What followed were weeks of negotiations with Valencia, with Arsenal refusing to agree with the Spanish club's hefty £35 million valuation of the player.
As Arsenal's season began with a damaging 3-4 defeat at home to Liverpool, a game which all three of the Gunners' centre-halves missed, frustration at the lack of progress with the Mustafi deal was made loud and clear.
Then, just days before the transfer window shut, Wenger finally agreed to pay the £35 million and soon after, Arsenal secured the services of Mustafi. Doubts were then cast over whether or not the German could fit in with the physical demands of the Premier League.
After all, it was a big price to live up to.
Now, after just four league games and two Champions League outings, Mustafi has already convinced many that he is the real deal.
His partnership with Laurent Koscielny in the centre of defence is becoming formidable, with the pair conceding only two league goals since playing together for the first time against Southampton.
The impact that Mustafi is having on the pitch is a considerable one.
"Koscielny is the leader because he is captain but Mustafi looks like he is taking leadership as well as the back," said boss Wenger. "What is surprising is how quickly he has integrated into the team at the back and how quickly they have formed a pair that works well together."
Only two centre-backs average more tackles and interceptions per Premier League game than Mustafi this season (6.3) and what is impressing also is the composure he shows not only within the tackle but on the ball also.
The apogee his Arsenal career so far was during the recent 1-0 win at Burnley, a match where Arsenal needed to show strength in one of the most physical fixtures of the season. Mustafi obliged with a textbook defensive display.
The German made the most clearances (13) and won the most aerial duels (5) from on either side. Furthermore, he made six successful tackles, the most in a match by an Arsenal player this season, as well as having a passing accuracy of 81%.
Mustafi's performance was perhaps symbolic of a new Arsenal emerging this season – solidity at the back that can match their attacking talent.
Arsenal fans will argue that it has been long overdue but with two excellent full-backs in Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal beside them, the new centre-back partnership of Mustafi and Koscielny is adding much-needed stability in an area of the field that has let the club down for so many years.
Yet it is not only on the field where Mustafi is having an impact. The German's leadership qualities have also been a hit with the fans and his team-mates.
"Mustafi gets people up for games," Theo Walcott revealed. "If you're not doing something right he tells you. And that's great. He's a German international and that's the way it is. He's at a completely different level at this time."
In a team that has supposedly lacked leaders over recent times, Mustafi is bringing those much-needed qualities, as well as his winning experience, to the Emirates.
The 24-year-old also provides composure to the team, something that has been missing badly, especially last season when Arsenal were hectic in defence when their title challenge demanded the opposite. It perhaps cost them the league.
Defensive signings have not necessarily been Arsene Wenger's forte since moving to the Emirates. Additions such as Philippe Senderos, Sebastian Squillaci and Johan Djourou have served up more nightmares for Arsenal fans than positive memories.
Even the more recent signings of Per Mertesacker and Gabriel who, despite showing glimpses of potential, have failed to convince with their lack of consistency and liability to the odd calamitous moment.
This time, it seems Wenger has finally got one right. Indeed, it is early days, yet Mustafi already seems like a man who has the qualities, both mentally and physically, to succeed at Arsenal.
The Gunners will need both him and Koscielny to stay fit throughout the season, something that is now imperative to the club.
In what could be Wenger's final year, it seems like, in adding Mustafi, he may well have solved the final piece of the Arsenal title puzzle.
