Soft robotics has recently gained a significant momentum as a newly emerging field in robotics that focuses on biomimicry, compliancy and conformability with safety in near-human environments. Beside conventional fabrication methods, additive manufacturing is a primary technique to employ to fabricate soft robotic devices. We developed a monolithic soft gripper, with variable stiffness fingers, that was fabricated as a one-piece device. Negative pressure was used for the actuation of the gripper while positive pressure was used to vary the stiffness of the fingers of the gripper. Finger bending and gripping capabilities of the monolithic soft gripper were experimentally tested. Finite element simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed monolithic soft gripper is fully compliant, low cost and requires an actuation pressure below -100 kPa.

An exhaustive biography of the most controversial figure in Abraham Lincoln's cabinet.
Lincoln's secretary of war, Edwin Stanton (1814-1869) has not lacked historical attention. Already an expert on the president and his era, historian Stahr (Seward: Lincoln's Indispensable Man, 2012, etc.) seems reluctant to leave out any piece of his expansive research, but readers will forgive him. A self-made lawyer and pugnacious litigator, Stanton was well-known by the 1850s. While previous historians have turned up anti-slavery credentials in Stanton's life, Stahr is skeptical. He notes that Stanton was on friendly terms with national figures on both sides but remained loyal to the Democratic Party, which tried to remain neutral. In December 1860, President James Buchanan appointed him attorney general. The author dismisses efforts to portray Stanton as a hard-liner, placing him among those who tried, tactfully, to discourage the dithering president from giving away the store. He left office in March 1861 and returned as secretary of war in January 1862, when he efficiently oversaw an immense military effort. He was overbearing, widely detested, and prone to arresting officials and harassing newspapers for endangering the Union. When Lincoln was shot, he took charge. He remained in office under Andrew Johnson, who tried to fire him for refusing to withdraw troops from the South. After Johnson's failed impeachment trial in 1868, Stanton resigned, dying the following year, days after the new president, Ulysses Grant, appointed him to the Supreme Court. Readers may prefer to skim lengthy quotes from speeches and letters in this massive tome, but they will agree that Stanton lived in exciting times. The author provides a chronology and 8-page cast of characters to help keep names and dates straight.
A lively, lucid, and opinionated history, and his research supports his skepticism on some historical claims. The book should be Stanton's definitive biography for some time to come.

Venus de Milo is known for their quality and I can agree with that. I changed my contact person with them to Nancy, she has been doing this for a long time, she knows every in and out of the business including outside suggestions other than the reception. She helped us have everything we wanted. We were able to bring our decorations the day before. We provided directions and they set up our tables and centerpieces absolutely beautifully and perfectly. The food was great, the dessert was great (included in our package). Every thing was organized. My contact for that night ran things past me as necessary. My only complaint is that the servers kept taking people's drinks off the table when they were nowhere near done with them. Many people complained they didn't get to drink their drinks. I didn't get to finish mine either and it was on a sweetheart table. Also, some people never got their cake, even when others at the table received theirs. Overall, a great experience and very organized.Sent on 08/28/2018

The Venus de Milo was great! The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was amazing as always. My guests loved that they could take home the left over soup! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!Sent on 10/27/2016
Angela · Married on 09/16/2016
I just got married at the Venus de Milo a couple weeks ago and it was amazing! I learned about the venue when I attended another annual event years ago and it was a great experience. So when I got engaged, it was the first place that came to mind. Booking and planning with them went super smoothly. We had a ceremony outside by the water which was beautiful and a fun reception and dinner inside. The food of course was delicious and the staff was super friendly and helpful. 5 stars!Sent on 09/29/2016

We've been to the Venus a few times this year. I can say that their staff has been incredibly helpful when we arrive. It's usually a big party at the Venus, so we have a lot or really big cakes to deliver and the staff has helped carry them in, has always had the venue set up and are wonderful people!
Laura is the representative that I have come to know over the years. I have sent several of my brides to her and I look forward to working with her to complete their dreams in the near future! Laura is a definite professional and I have witnessed her in action personally!
Love them... great food, good atmosphere, and reasonably priced.

Dissociative (conversion) disorders
manifested various physical mental symptoms. These symptoms are also characterized by temporary and sudden change or loss of certain functions that is the cause of psychological conflict. Also mental symptoms such as the Ganser syndrome, are inextricably linked to conflict, they can be characterized by rapidity of occurrence and reversibility.
Under the conversion means the replacement of the alarm, various somatic symptoms, which often can be signs of neurological disease. Dissociation means that the symptoms come from incorrect interaction between the different functions of the mental nature and are the result of certain violations. Also this kind of disorder can be called hysteria.
There are two major problems in the case of diagnosis of such disorders.
Early in the development of diseases such as the syndrome of depersonalization, exclude somatic pathology not. Often requires long observation of the patient, conducting many of the procedures that allows you to make an accurate diagnosis. If the case is doubtful, we focus on the diagnosis of dissociative disorders, that does not exclude the presence of severe disease of somatic nature.
Sometimes very difficult to determine these symptoms conscious or unconscious. In many cases, the simulation occurs in those who are deprived of freedom or wants to avoid conscription to the army. Often patients tend to exaggerate their symptoms, however, diagnosis, in any case, it is assumed the existence of a component of the unconscious of the nature involved in the origin of symptoms.
Disorders of this kind are divided into motor, sensory and dissociate dissociative disorders who have certain psychological symptoms.
Very often patients, without realizing it, begin to imitate the symptomatic manifestations which they observed in others. Thus, they draw Parallels between themselves and these people. Also common are cases when after his father died, the adult daughter may suffer
which clinical picture is similar to that observed in the father before he died.
Initial benefit is that through processes of dissociation and conversion, the patient may subconsciously prevent internal conflicts of a psychological nature, for example, when
from the memoirs of patient can appear the most pleasing to him.
Secondary or social benefit is that the results of the disease can become for the patient a clear advantage. They can prevent the difficult and mandatory everyday situations, as patients do much forgiven. They constantly receive support and adequate level of attention from others, you can manipulate it and apply it to achieve personal goals. Despite the fact that secondary benefits may be obvious, it may not be used for hundred percent accurate diagnosis.
In fact, the occurrence of such symptoms is not intentional and deliberate, but they are formed under the influence the patient himself is the disease. As already mentioned, patients often tend to make their symptoms of exaggerated importance, but the disease are the unconscious mechanisms of psychological nature. Patients suffering from this disorder may not be aware of their actions and not to control them. It is also clear that such disorders are the expression of an emotional conflict, they have a close relationship with stress and develop suddenly.
There is a lack of organic etiological factors. If in the present or the past, there were true violations, neurological or systemic diseases that affect the Central nervous system, disorder was present in 40% of patients. Conversive and dissociative symptoms is often very difficult to distinguish from neurological or somatic disorders, especially in those patients who are well informed about the clinical picture and course of such diseases. However, medical examination and inspection of the identified violations. It is important to remember and understand that the diagnosis can be established only in the absence of violations of physical and neurological characters or no explicit connection with these violations.
The clinical picture does not match the pattern of the disorder and similar disease. Manifestations of disorders do not correspond to the manifestations of these neurological disorders, reflecting naive patients relative to anatomical innervation. This discrepancy is extremely important in case you need further diagnosis.
In almost all cases, the biggest problems were caused by organic diseases of the CNS. For example, a clear weakness is seen in
can be mistaken for
. Signs and symptoms that do not correspond to anatomical structures or known mechanisms of pathophysiological nature, were likely to be due to a dissociative kind of disorder and not somatic diseases. That is, in all situations you need to conduct a thorough physical and neurological examination of the patient. The symptoms of such problems as dissociative identity disorder, which may disappear under the influence of hypnosis, of suggestion, or the introduction of certain drugs, most likely, also are psychogenic.
In the event of differential diagnosis of disorders need to implement the following features
- age manifestations of the disease generally, dissociative disorders are found in the age of 40 years
- symptoms – they are manifested under the action of stress. If this type of situation are not present, the diagnosis is questionable. But by themselves, stressful situations are not evidence of a dissociative disorder, as they often precede somatic diseases.
- the secondary benefits mentioned above. If it is absent, the diagnosis of disorders should be reconsidered.
When the objective of treatment of dissociative disorders in the first place, it is very important to eliminate the circumstances that might injure the patient or to minimize their impact. Often, a positive effect is achieved due to the change of environment. The main place in the treatment of such problems rests on the shoulders of psychotherapy, including the rational. The patient is very important to explain the fact that the cause is not illness, and psychological reasons, therefore, psychological therapy is recommended in this situation. Convincing regular conversations with patients to help to develop the right attitude to this issue and reasons which become the factors of its development.
Psychological treatment
Doctors advise to use psychoanalytic psychotherapy. In certain cases, have good effect of hypnosis and psychotherapy behavioral in nature. A very important condition of treatment is the study of the situation of the patient in social terms, which gives the ability to eliminate secondary gain of illness.
Drug therapy does not play a fundamental role in this situation, in addition to those cases, when such disorders appear secondary and are the result of a depressive illness. In the case of severe anxiety is shown taking tranquilizers and antidepressants.
Almost all patients on background treatment is evident improvement. In the absence of the results of therapy need to exclude the possibility of somatic disease. For the treatment of dissociative disorders are short and Directive psychotherapeutic methods. And the more time the patient remains in the role of the patient, the worse the effects of therapy.
The prognosis is generally favorable. In almost all cases, symptoms of short duration, they abruptly begin and end. Diseases that are long-recurring and is combined with a specific benefit, therapy may be hard. Dissociative amnesia, which is the sudden end of the disorder, rarely has relapses. Dissociative Fugue is a short-term disorder in which relapses are rare, the recovery appears quickly and unexpectedly. Dissociative identity disorder the most severe disorder of all, it is likely chronic. Patients who have dissociative identity disorder like derealization and depersonalization, may occur throughout life. Thus patients remain perfectly healthy in appearance, but may suffer from depressive States of nature.

Spices Herbs Nuts And Olive Oil.
Always store your spices in a cool dark place. Never store the above the stove or oven. The heat, steam, light and general humidity will cause your spice to lose their flavour. They will also last much longer - You might at sometime prepare a dish containing nuts such as almonds or pistachios. These will need their skins removed. Blanche the nuts by boiling them in a pan of water for one minute. Drain the nuts, place them on a clean tea towel, fold the towel and rub the nuts together. You will find that the skins have rubbed off on to the tea towel - Olive Oil they say is a cooks best friend. It is versatile as you will find out as you progress you expertise in the kitchen. When roasting you might use a little oil with herbs. You use olive oil in Italian dishes as a matter of course. I making a stir fry where you might normally use butter you might try a little olive oil instead, it's down to taste we know but it is certainly more healthy.
Tinfoil Cooking Tips.
A good tip for making you own burgers. Nobody likes dry tasteless burgers, so next you are making them yourself add half a cup of water for every one pound of meat, before you grill. The texture of the burgers will be softer and certainly not dry - So your off to do some campfire cooking. The first thing is Tin Foil it is indispensable.

Director General condemns killing of columnist Joaquin Briones in the Philippines
The Director-General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, has denounced today the killing of newspaper columnist Joaquin Briones in the Masbate province of the Philippines on 13 March.
"I condemn the killing of Joaquin Briones," said the Director-General. "Attacks on the media fuel fear of covering issues which matter to society, leading to self-censorship and an uninformed public. I call on the local authorities to ensure that the Rule of Law is applied and the perpetrators of this crime are brought to court".
Joaquin Briones was a contributor to the daily tabloid newspaper Remate. He previously hosted the radio program Dos por Dos were he reported on local issues. He was fatally shot by unknown assailants on motorcycle in the town of Milagros on Monday morning.
The Director-General of UNESCO issues statements on the killing of media workers in line with Resolution 29 adopted by UNESCO Member States at the Organization's General Conference of 1997, entitled "Condemnation of Violence against Journalists." These statements are posted on a dedicated webpage, UNESCO condemns the killing of journalists.

UNESCO is the United Nations agency with a mandate to defend freedom of expression and press freedom. Article 1 of its Constitution requires the Organization to "further universal respect for justice, for the rule of law and for the human rights and fundamental freedoms which are affirmed for the peoples of the world, without distinction of race, sex, language or religion, by the Charter of the United Nations." To realize this the Organization is requested to "collaborate in the work of advancing the mutual knowledge and understanding of peoples, through all means of mass communication and to that end recommend such international agreements as may be necessary to promote the free flow of ideas by word and image…"

Episode 2
Music programme featuring sessions from contemporary and classic artists. Guests include Madness, Jamie T, Beth Orton, Gallant, Rag'n'Bone Man and The Divine Comedy.
It is week two and Jools invites another eclectic mix of music into his quadrangle of quality, including national treasures Madness fresh from the festival stage, now in their 40th year and about to release their 12th studio album Can't Touch Us Now, which features new single Mr Apples and the trademark blend of jaunty music-hall, ska rhythm and bitter-sweet lyrics. Squaring up to Camden's nutty boys is a son of Wimbledon - Jamie Alexander Treays, better known as Jamie T, with Trick, his second album in two years, making up for a long period of silence with a roughshod jangle of tunes that recall The Clash of the Sandinista era.
Calming things down is singer-songwriter Beth Orton, who has dramatically reinvented the folktronica of her earliest work with the electronica of sixth album Kidsticks, which was recorded in the US and features Beth's plaintive voice floating on some great grooves and ambient soundscapes.
Introducing the commanding falsetto of new US R&B leading man Gallant. Christopher Gallant hails from Maryland and recorded his debut album Ology on the West Coast, blending slow beats with some alt-rock influences. He got a standing ovation when making his US tv debut on Jimmy Fallon's chat show. Also introducing Rag'n'Bone Man, a big bruiser of a man from Uckfield near Brighton, with his debut single, the tender Human, a piano ballad which manages to be both vulnerable and threatening at the same time.
There is also an appearance by The Divine Comedy, fronted by Neil Hannon, who perform tracks from their album Foreverland.

More and more people in the Toronto real estate market are finding themselves trapped in a starter home, unable to move to a larger house when more space is needed. Now they are looking for new ways to create space. As a result, the number of renovation/rebuild projects in Toronto has grown substantially.
Given the main drive is a quest for space, the size and complexity of these renovation/rebuild projects are often larger than most homeowners are familiar with. These aren't your parents' kitchen remodels. They are reconfiguring different floors, lowering basements and building additions on homes that are 75-100+ years old. If you don't plan properly, the ramifications can be high stress, spiralling costs and overrun timelines. Unsure whether you have an adequate plan? Here are three questions you must ask yourself.
Have I considered the real condition of my old home?
Many Toronto houses were not built to last. Coupled with our harsh climate and varying quality of maintenance over the years, these homes create a lot of headaches and expense for renovators. I shudder remembering when our 100+ years old foundation wall crumbled during our rebuild project. It had been penetrated by tree roots. Fortunately, we weren't planning to use it to support the rebuilt house structurally. But what if we had been? Yikes!
Besides their age, old homes have probably been renovated before, which adds unknown risks. Unfortunately, frugality or inexperience of past homeowners means the work is not always done properly. These substandard renos create additional headaches for today's renovator as they are discovered during a project.
While you will never be able to rule out the possibility of unpleasant surprises during a reno, you should do your best to assess your risks before embarking on your project by bringing in an expert to fully assess the structure of your home once your basic design concept is established. Inspections where pilot holes have been made, so the structural engineer can look behind existing surfaces, are best. They allow a more in-depth assessment. Keep in mind this won't rule out the possibility of structural issues. You still need to have a large contingency budget for anything that isn't readily apparent. Structural issues aside, you could also uncover issues like galvanized pipes or knob and tube wiring that you should address during your renovation.
Or, tear it down and rebuild – then the condition of the old house it not an issue.
Have I considered my housing type and how by-laws apply?
While your dreams may be big, the type of housing you own and the applicable zoning by-laws may place limitations on your renovation vision.
First, if your home is anything other than a detached house, any work that involves the party wall (shared wall) will require permits for the neighbouring property, as well as yours. What you can and cannot do with the party wall will be impacted by this neighbour. This can impact the overall project cost, timeline and concept, as well as your relationship with your neighbour.
Second, the zoning by-laws governing your property impact what you can build on it. They include limitations on where a building may be situated on the property, plus its overall size and height. While homeowners can seek variances to the applicable by-laws, this adds cost, time and uncertainty to a renovation or rebuild project. Not all requested variances are granted. It would be wise to understand whether your desired renovation is likely to be by-law compliant from the outset.
Does my financial plan cover all project expenses?
In my experience, prospective renovators usually start their journey with an idea of what they want and a dollar figure that they are prepared to spend. This is not a financial plan.
More details than most homeowners can imagine need to be included, and often the idea and real dollar figure are not well-matched. Major renovations require a team of professionals and include much more than construction costs. For example, if you want to make changes to the exterior of a home, including additions, it starts with a legal survey of the property which can cost between $1500-$3000. What about a contingency budget? We were advised to make ours 35% of the construction cost when we considered renovating our old home. This is one reason we chose to rebuild instead.
To ensure your renovation/rebuild project is financially viable, make sure you can pay for all the different aspects of the project — not just the construction cost. To do this well, you need to really understand how these projects work and where the additional costs come from.

A woman in a mans world. Or so it seemed. Yet these were the very men who were running part of the country, a country with just over 50% female population.
Are there enough women in politics? And if not then why not? Was this evening representative of all of parliament or was this just one of those insane off-chances…?
13 men look up from the table at the lady who's approaching. White teeth gleaming, suites shiny black. It draws similarities to scene in Clifton, Bristol, where the 'University Prep boys' would saunter down the street, jumpers over their shoulders. Here, they had that same dazzling smile, and socially reliant confidence protruding out of their chests in form of a large male bravado. Stifled smiles elude and their bodies stiffened in a cardboard-like stance at sight of this well presented female in a dress and dinner jacket.
Friendly, welcoming, a man stands and holds out his hand in offer of a shake. The lady accepts and quickly scans around the table to look for her female accomplice. ''Not here'' she thinks. Another scan and a double check of her phone confirms that she has been stood up, due to a 'pregnancy-headed diary clash'. Great.
"You must be Tanya!" one man exclaims, as the room around him remains lit up by his colleagues teeth. The atmosphere is warm, but penetrating, and the lady stands out like a centre peice.
"At the head of the table is Cardiff North MP". The man to the right of the lady softly alerts her as she sits down. ''Important information'' Tanya logs. As she looks towards this man, he glances in the opposite direction. Why is this? Something seems odd.
The man to Tanya's right quickly becomes her 'seat-side buddy'. He is approximately 30 years her senior, and a ferocious Tory, yet they find common interests of traveling to remote parts of the world, and sports watches.
The woman is lightly interrogated by each member of the table throughout the evening, as curiosity and ambiguity surround her. "What is your interest to come this evening, aside from to accompany your friend?" one man asks. ''Have you always been Tory?'' Another enquires.
Moments before this, the entire table had erupted in laughter at one of the men's Aunts who ''wasn't a Tory''. Therefore, knowing her answer the lady chooses her words wisely (yet honestly).
"I'm actually not Tory, in fact most of my views agree with the Labour parties policies" she replies.
The men gulp, synchronised, as though this had been practiced many times. In a second movement, the entire table turn their heads toward the Cardiff North MP for his response.
"Would you want to become a member of the conservative party? We have a big need for a lot of help delivering leaflets…" Responds Cardiff North MP with his ever so white and extremely charismatic grin (similar to that of a Cheshire Cat).
Laughter escapes her lips as Tanya almost chokes on her chicken soup. This is an obvious joke right?! If she was waiting be inspired then this was the moment. Not.
She mumbles a polite excuse, then comes back with her line of questioning…
"What makes the conservatives the conservatives?"
"Choice." Is the over-riding answer.
"And do you feel that young people are educated enough on politics?"
"Possibly not" Is the response. As a 29 year old citizen who voted for the first time in 2015, Tanya was easily within the 'previously uneducated young person' category.
Discussions of the strive for balanced economies across developing countries, overturning Caste Type Discrimination, the awesomeness of the welfare state of Finland, and the responsibility behind the word 'choice' ensued… Noodles and gloopy meat are passed across the table as each man overfills his belly.
The entire table let's out raucous discordant laughter each time Cardiff MP speaks, sounding somewhat like an out of tune piano played by the hyperactive hands of an excited toddler. It's a surprise the waiters don't jump out of their skin, and Tanya ponders on each occurrence, failing to understand the funny part.
These baffling and bemusing scenes are punctuated by a lack of directness from the MP himself. Despite leading the actions and conversations of the group, minimal eye contact and genuine conversation comes from the MP all evening. It seems that so much attention is directed toward this man that no effort is required by him to establish respect. Only when she has spoken has she felt his gaze, soft, absorbing, yet avoident.
As the night draws to a close, the evening is sealed with a firm handshake and a white toothy grin from Cardiff Norths MP. As though propelled into the position as 'best friend for lifetime', Tanya is confidently invited to future gatherings…
The men pull their large heavy coats over their shoulders, and Tanya wraps her scarf around her neck and prepares her umbrella for full scale opening. Ceremonious handshakes follow and Tanya escorts her new new sports watch loving friend to the door, out into the British weather.
An evening of insight, shock and full stomachs all round. Thrust into a situation where politics was right in the forefront it was only too clear how ceremonious the political process is. It wasn't so much about what these men knew, but instead about who they knew.
Was it a coincidence that Tanya was the only woman on a table of 13 men? Probably not. Yet what does this mean for aspiring female politicians? As of June 2016, only 22.8% of national parliamentians were women, a slow increase from 11% from the year before. It gets worse… globally, there are 38 states where women account for less than 10% of parliamentary roles, and there are 4 chambers with no women at all….
So it may be important to ask, why is it crucial for women to be in politics? Surely the world did fine when men ran the country? Representation. And equality of views in society. Both men and women offer different views, perspectives and experiences, which all contribute to a well balanced picture. How can little girls grow up inspired, if the world is predominantly run by men? How can they guarantee that their interest are looked out for? And what would ever make little girls consider switching their ballerina outfit for the shoes of a politician? Seeing one they respect most likely.
When women are in parlimentiary roles it can be common for them to take on or be given the more nurturing roles, such as projects overseeing developments of settlements, working with and forging bonds with the communities. Men in comparison will be more likely to take responsibility of the budgets and finances. Whilst it could be said that these women should be 'grateful' for their important role in parliament, there is hope yet that we can work toward a future where both sexes have equal opportunity for any parliamentary role, dependent on their experience, passions and ability.
There are practical elements which can prevent women reaching their ideal goals in politics. Childcare, housework, (yes housework!). Historically, women were valued as the primary caregiver, and homemaker, yet practices are evolving and many households now work to create 'balance of roles' between two working parents. In America, the number of stay at home dads has doubled in the last 10 years alone. Further, men are shown to develop higher maternal instincts when they are the primary caregiver. Neuroscience is taking us to a level of understanding which is changing previously entrenched views. So with these changing views, there is the opportunity to evolve this within the political landscape also.
When women get to power the road doesn't end there. Female candidates face labels of 'butch, bitch, and mummy' (none of which have positive connotations). Nicola Sturgeon's high heels have been the talks of many towns, and the argument over Theresa May's expensive leather trousers and appearance on the American Vogue cover has taken precedence over other political discussions. Now if this isn't irrelevant distraction then it is difficult to say what is. When was Donuld Trump last scrutinised for his fashion sense? Men are rarely challenged in politics for their masculinity in this way. Why?
Let's face it, whilst in this last century we have progressed far on our views of gender equality globally, we are still not quite there. Becoming a women in parliament is a treacherous road, in fact becoming a ballerina sounds like a far more scenic path. Yet with all of our young girls still aspiring to be ballerinas, does it not make you think… who does that leave to run our country?

If you want to restore the healthy glow to your skin, microdermabrasion can do it for you. It is a non-invasive procedure that tackles skin imperfections for people of all ages, and is also an excellent treatment for ageing, tired skin. This article looks at some of the other benefits of microdermabrasion (click here).
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic technique that involves the use of tiny crystals to slough away dead skin cells. These skin cells often make the skin look dull and dry, so removing them refreshes the skin.
Microdermabrasion can be done in 15 to 30 minutes, but this varies depending on the size of the area being treated. Patients experience only minimal pain during the procedure, and afterwards there will be some swelling and redness for a few hours.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion
- Brightens and refreshes the skin. Microdermabrasion gets rid of the outermost layer of dead skin cells, to reveal skin that is clearer and looks younger.
- Accelerates cell renewal. Cell turnover decreases with age, but exfoliating the dead skin on the surface of the skin helps to speed up the rate at which cells regenerate.
- Reduces the appearance of skin imperfections such as acne scars, brown spots, fine wrinkles, and age spots.
- Facilitates better penetration of the active ingredients in skin care products.
- Can be performed on all skin types, including sensitive skin, without there being significant side effects.
If you are impressed with the benefits of microdermabrasion and would like to find out if it's right for you, contact the skin care experts at Sona Med Spa. They can carry out an evaluation to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. Sona Med Spa has offices in Little Rock and Memphis. The telephone numbers are 501-228-7662 for Little Rock, and (901) 683-8220 for Memphis.

Acclaimed actor and director Peter Mullan has made films and TV shows all over the world, but if he had his way he wouldn't leave Scotland to find work.
Recent years have seen the Sunshine on Leith star and Neds director journey far and wide to the likes of New Zealand for Top of the Lake and to Hungary for Hercules alongside Dwayne Johnson, but he'd sooner be home for his tea.
"I'm a home bird," says the Glasgow-based Mullan.
"I don't like being away from the kids for any great length of time, but you've got to go where the work is and there's just not enough here.
"It's a balancing act and I do find it tough but I'm getting better at it. I travel better than I used to."
Part of the reason for taking his latest role was that much of it was filmed here.
In his new film, Hector, Mullan plays the title character, a homeless man who sleeps rough in motorway service stations and has been separated from his family for 15 years.
First time writer-director Jake Gavin sent him the script and Peter knew immediately that he wanted to be involved, even though he had a number of projects to choose from at that time.
"We were going to shoot it a couple of years ago and they couldn't get the money raised. They got the money and then it all fell apart again and I thought that was it.
"And then I didn't work again for seven months. I loved the fact it's so compassionate and it's a very humane film, very optimistic.
"I couldn't make it as a writer or director because my sensibilities would probably make me drawn to the dark side of it.
"I liked that Jake was after a gentler, more lyrical film."
Despite Hector coming up against the might of Star Wars in cinemas, Peter believes that this is a great time of year to be releasing the film.
"I'd never really thought about it as a Christmas movie, but there's a genuine Christmas theme in Hector. It should be seen as an alternative Christmas film, because it looks at the more generous, non-materialistic side of it, which is to renew one's human decency and contact with fellow human beings, and to look at where compassion really lies within society."
In terms of research for playing Hector, Peter didn't spend any time with homeless people before filming, but he did draw on his own experiences.
"I worked with the homeless down in London when I was 17 and I met some incredible people, a lot of broken souls.
"I'd experienced short periods of homelessness when I was a teenager, and I'd never claim to know what it is to be homeless, but I know what it is to sleep rough.
"A minute becomes an hour and an hour becomes a day, that constant fear of someone robbing you or hurting you or worse.
"But I knew who Hector was when I read it and I knew he was a gentle soul, and I could understand how someone who had not quite coped with grief could punish themselves in this way."
Though he'd like to make more films in the UK, time away from home will be inevitable in the near future, as Peter has signed up for three seasons of American cable TV show Quarry, based on the novels of Max Allan Collins and starring Logan Marshall-Green as the hero, a hitman who is employed by the shadowy The Broker, played by Mullan.
Quarry's writer Max Allan Collins and star Logan Marshall-Green
"It's quality work and the money's decent", he says, "so I can hopefully work there for three months and then take three months off."
He's also been perfecting a Deep South accent for the show, which he admits was "terrifying".
Working for months on it and spending the whole time in character to perfect the voice, he describes how he spent a whole evening in a bar telling a stranger that he'd lived in Memphis since he was 12 years old. "The next day I went in and nailed it in the read-through."
Mullan hasn't directed a film since Neds five years ago, but is itching to do so again soon.
His film about Hurricane Katrina came close but, as is often the way with these things, money became an issue and the project fell apart.
After taking Christmas off to spend with his family, he plans to write again in the New Year.
"I don't know what I'm going to write and I don't care what it is, but I need to write something", he says.
"I really though Katrina was going to happen, but sometimes with political films there's a moment for them and if you miss it you've maybe missed that boat."
Next up for him is Jungle Book: Origins, though it's Peter Mullan as we've never seen him before.
It's the directing debut of Andy Serkis, famed for his computer enhanced performances as Gollum and King Kong.
Peter voices Akela the wolf and loved every minute of it.
"It's great fun, a great way to make a movie," he says.
"We all thought motion capture would put us all out of work, but they can't do eyes.
"We recorded last year and shot the whole thing in a few days but it doesn't come out for almost another two years. That's how long they need to work on an eyeball."

Community Activities
I have been a judicial officer for nearly a decade. In both my capacity as a Superior Court Commissioner and now as a Superior Court Judge, I have handled criminal, civil, and family law matters. During my tenure as a judicial officer, I have presided over thousands and thousands of cases ensuring all litigants who appear in my courtroom are treated fairly and equally.
Prior to my appointment to the Superior Court, I went through an extensive vetting process. First, I filled out a detailed 25 page application which required me to list all of my significant cases, the lawyers I opposed, and the judges I appeared in front of. I also provided details regarding my work history as well as my family background. I was required to sign a release so the Governor's Office could speak to all individuals listed in my application. After the application was reviewed by the Governor's Office and found compelling, it was then submitted to the Judicial Nominees Evaluation Commission which is an independent statewide organization. This Commission submitted confidential questions to hundreds of San Diego attorneys asking for their input regarding my intellect, fairness, demeanor, and experience. I was also interviewed by members of the Commission. Based on the information collected, an evaluation was submitted to the Governor's office. After being interviewed by the Governor's appointment's secretary, I was honored to receive the Governor's appointment to the Superior Court bench.
As an attorney, I served the public with distinction for more than 20 years. My career began as a San Diego Deputy City Attorney, prosecuting hundreds of criminal cases including several jury trials. I later handled complex civil trial matters in both the state and federal courts. I was promoted to several leadership positions within the City Attorney's Office eventually becoming the Assistant City Attorney in charge of the entire civil division of the office. Prior to leaving the City Attorney's office, I served as the Chief Legal Advisor for Mayor Jerry Sanders. I have been honored with a number of awards including the Certified Family Law Specialists "Judicial Officer Recognition Award," the City's Partnership Award, and a Mayoral proclamation of "Keri Katz Day" in the City. I have been married to my husband for over 29 years and I have two children.

Community Activities
I believe that no one is above the law, including judges. I am a 20 year Federal Prosecutor, an Army
Captain, a National Guardsman and I have dedicated my life to upholding laws for the safety and
protection of the public.
I am an honors graduate of Princeton University and University of California Hastings College of
Law. I am the 2016 recipient of a national award, the the Director's Award for Superior Performance by an Assistant United States
Attorney. As a marathon runner and happily married mother of three, I know the importance of understanding laws and going the
distance to apply them fairly and equally.
As a Prosecutor, I have successfully prosecuted thousands of criminals, taking them off San
Diego streets for crimes including bank robbery, assault, human trafficking, drug smuggling,
and currency smuggling. To deter crime, I have helped to create and implement successful
rehabilitation programs for offenders with drug addictions.
I strongly believe our courts should not be misused for political gamesmanship and that justice
should not go to the highest bidder. The only endorsement that matters to me is that of the
voters, who I am here to serve.
