Focused Ultrasound Therapy
Focused ultrasound is a rapidly evolving, noninvasive, therapeutic technology with the potential to improve the quality of life and decrease the cost of care for patients with Dercum's disease which is also known as "Adiposis Dolorosa" which translates to "painful fat". This novel technology focuses beams of ultrasound energy precisely and accurately on targets deep in the body without damaging surrounding normal tissue.
How it Works
Where the beams converge, focused ultrasound produces precise ablation (thermal destruction of tissue) enabling Dercum's disease to be treated without surgery.
The primary options for treatment of Dercum's disease include pain medication and invasive surgery.
For certain patients, focused ultrasound could provide a noninvasive alternative to surgery with less risk of complications – such as surgical wound healing or infection – at a lower cost. It can reach the desired target without damaging surrounding tissue and is repeatable, if necessary.
Clinical Trial
At the present time, there are no clinical trials recruiting patients for focused ultrasound treatment of Dercum's disease.
Regulatory Approval and Reimbursement
Focused ultrasound treatment for Dercum's disease is not yet approved by regulatory bodies or covered by medical insurance companies.

Ramallah (The Inside Palestine)- The Israeli occupation army on Monday notified Palestinian citizens of its intent to demolish 10 homes belonging to them in the towns of Ni'lin and Deir Qaddis in the west of Ramallah.
Ni'lin mayor Emad al-Khawaja said that Israeli forces stormed his town and the nearby town of Deir Qaddis and delivered demolition orders against 10 homes.
Khawaja added that the homeowners possess legal construction permits issued by the Palestinian competent authorities, but the Israeli army claims that these homes are located near barbed wire fences that separate the towns from nearby settlements.

Taken from New Pagans seminal debut album The Seed, The Vessel, The Root and All (out today – read TLMT's review here), 'Lily Yeats' is a highlight in a record full of them and conveys the jagged melding of music and meaning that permeates throughout.
One of Ireland's most exciting bands, Inhaler make their presence felt with the fiery new single 'Cheer Up Baby'. A tour de force track that reenforces the group's fully-realised ambitious sound.
Twin Diver's angular post-punk sound bustles from the duo brand new single 'Television'. A jolting and tense affair, the single has a brooding undercurrent that rises with each passing second.
Senu feat. Jamel Franklin – S3
A scatter-shot beat flows form Senu's latest offering 'S3'. Formed around a contorting, warping backdrop, Jamel Franklin dominates the foreground with a performance as hard-hitting as the music.
Pulsing yet serene, the contrasting indie-folk bedrock of Sea Safe's hushed new single 'Lamont Lament' casts itself across an atmospherically set core sound.
Chasing Abbey return with the vivid buzz of 'Defeated'. Almost effortless in its hook-based vibrancy, the instantly attention grabbing melding of melody and beat is a compelling one.
Clannad feat. Denise Chaila – In A Lifetime (live)
In a live reimagining of Clannad classic 1985 duet with Bono 'In A Lifetime', Denise Chaila cuts a haunting presence within the ethereal drama of Clannad's music, creating a truly breath-taking collaboration.
A raucous, rich multi-layered, genre blending music comes bustling out of the speakers on VJ Jaxson's 'Call of Faith', featuring an emotionally turbulent and raw vocal from the artist.
An emotionally wrought new single form May Rosa, inspired by the late Lyra McKee's article Suicide of the Ceasefire Babies, 'Ceasefire Baby' is a song filled with layered moods and tones beneath a powerful vocal.
Susie Blue – May God Forgive You
Closing out Susie Blue's latest E.P. Boys Boys Boys, 'May God Forgive You' finds the songwriting moving into more ambitious indie territory, introducing flourishes of synth and big swing for the fences choruses into the fray.

Choose to ThriveWednesday, August 5, 2020
We all have a particular mindset that we naturally slip into, particularly in moments of acute stress.
In my work as a coach, I tend to see a big difference between people who adopt a Victim's Mindset and those who steer towards a Thriver's Mindset.
Victim's Mindset: Victims often report feeling seriously powerless. They focus on looking after themselves rather than others. They tend to be motivated by fear, they start hoarding resources and they often end up feeling isolated.
Thriver's Mindset: Thrivers hold a deep belief in their own capacity to make some sort of powerful difference. They meet challenge with enthusiasm, they're willing to put others' interests first and they seek opportunities to contribute.
Mindsets are not set in stone. You always have the capacity to step back and choose how you want to respond to your circumstances.
If you know that you tend naturally to embrace more of a Victim's Mindset and you're keen to make a shift, you might like to try this very simple strategy:
+ Identify: Take a piece of paper and write down all of the challenges that you're facing at the moment.
+ Prioritise: Then list those challenges in order of priority, so that you can work out how to address them. Beside each challenge, take a note of the resources [both internal and external] that you have available to you.
+ Determine: In relation to that first challenge, determine one thing that you can do, today, to help move you closer to where you want to be. Then another thing, and another.
Or what about this? When challenges arise, get into the habit of asking yourself the following questions:
- Am I powerful or powerless?
- Will I give or will I take?

Hi! I need a dough recipe for a 20L spiral mixer of chinese meat bunsI have searched the net and yahooanswers to no avail. The recipes i get usually have too much or too little of at least 2 ingredients. A recipe that can make 30pcs (60g each) would be best.I'd like to request the recipe to come with a dough starter recipe (yeast mixture + some flour, before mixing with the rest of the flour)Also, some say add the baking powder and shortening(lard) at the last stage where the dough is like a ball already, some say add it with the flour before mixing. Which should i really do first?Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much

1,200 ft above the Sacred Valley of Cuzco, Peru you will find three transparent, hanging skylodges with incredible views and the unforgettable experience of sleeping on the side of a mountain. To get there you can either climb up or hike to a nearby zipline and cruise in to your 'nest'.
Opened in 2013, the Skylodge Adventure Suites have a total capacity of 8 people. The 24x8x8 ft capsule is made out of aerospace aluminum and weather resistant polycarbonate. Each suite comes with four beds, a dining area and a bathroom.
Each suite offers 300 degree views and the toilet and sink are of the 'dry ecological' variety. Each dome has curtains for privacy but you'll want to keep the top uncovered so you can gaze at the stars above.

Today we pay tribute to our dearly departed Honda Accord, the miracle car that we had for 12 years, outlasting many gay bars, drag queen careers and LGBT media networks.

Hello! We're still here! Sorry that we haven't been keeping this blog updated. We are all people who care very much about the benefits to keeping urban hens but we are also people who have jobs, families, responsibilities and other distractions and this site sort of fell through the cracks.
That said, we have certainly NOT given up on CLUCK Red Deer, on spreading the word about how urban hens can be good for the Red Deer community. Things have been going strong on our Facebook Page. Please come and check us out if you're a Facebook user -photos, link, advice and answers are all to be found there.
On October 13th, Deborah organized an Urban Coop Tour with 4 hen-keepers and a wrap up at the Peavey Mart (who we thank for their support). There were many people (over 20) who came along for the ride and the feedback was great. If you visit our Facebook page, you can find photos of an article from the Red Deer Advocate discussing how the tour went.
"If you are a busy owner - drop your girls Nov. 3 at 11am. We will take care of the dirt and have them ready for pick up from 9 - 10am Sunday morning. Cost $5.00 per girl.
If you want to stay and learn - book an appointment time on Nov. 3 and learn how to bathe your girl for $2.00 per hen. She will need to stay over night or sleep in your house that night so she is thoroughly dry before going outside."
Visit the Urban Hen Day Spa page on Facebook if you have an questions or want to join.
After a day at the spa, your girls might be ready for a party!
"All urban hens welcome.
Hens need to be dropped off on Friday between 4 and 7 pm. Pickup on Sunday between 3 and 4.
Entry fee of $3.00 will include feed and water, the show cage, bedding, and elite security forces. (Our girls will be safe and comfy!)
Stay tuned for prize details!"
As with the spa, visit the Urban Hen Party page on Facebook to ask questions and/or find registration contact information.
This is the big show that I know a lot of people are looking forward to, and not just because of the petting zoo or the White Crested Black Polish hens! Come and see what each breed looks like, chat up the breeders, marvel at the coloured Silkies and maybe buy a layer to add to your flock!
For more info, please see the Canadian Heritage Breeds website.
Take care & keep on CLUCKing!

Confidential Private Sales represent the very best Business Opportunities available throughout the State of California ~ and are only available to BIZ BuyerPLUS Clients. Think of Confidential Private Sales as "Below The Waterline" Business Opportunities. They are the absolute BEST DEALS, because these deals are almost always very profitable and completely unknown to the general public.
Since Confidential Private Sales are NOT Actual BIZ Listings, and truly are "Confidential" ~ they can only be shown to Buyers after subscribing to our BuyerPLUS Program.
Here's a Basic Summary "WHY" Confidential Private Sales continue to represent the Very Best Business Opportunities available ANYWHERE:
Business Owners are often unsuccessful in selling their business for a variety of reasons. Here are a few common examples:
- The Seller has hired a Sales Agent with little or no experience Selling Businesses.
- The Advertised Business Listing Price is Unreasonable and Simply Over-Priced.
- The Advertised Business Earnings are Impossible to Confirm.
The net result is a Business Opportunity that fails to find a Qualified Buyer and ultimately never enters Escrow.
- Our Asset Group regularly scours the Internet for Business Opportunities currently available throughout the State of California that have not sold [due to over-priced listings, or other common mistakes]. We then contact the Listing Agent / Seller and Recommend Adjusted Pricing, Terms and Closing Schedules that makes the most sense in today's Ever-Changing Marketplace.
- BIZ then offers these Listings "Confidentially" to BIZ BuyerPLUS Clients ~ and Encourages Serious Consideration at an Adjusted, Recommended BIZ Price.
- BIZ BuyerPLUS Clients are then encouraged to move forward with their Formal Offer to Purchase the Subject Business.
** Have Questions About BIZ Listings? SCHEDULE A CALL And Arrange To Speak With Our Lead Broker! **

Power Consumption and Final Thoughts
Testing power consumption was done by testing idle power at the desktop and testing load while running 3DMark06 at 2560×1600.
As expected, the 8800 GTX SLI setup uses the most power by far, as we ard doubling up on an already power hungry GPU. Moving to the nForce 680i motherboard also increases power consumption, with a peak power draw of 462 watts! That's enough to start scaring your power company, especially if you paired it with an AMD Quad FX CPU setup! Those with a need for cool and quiet systems probably need not apply here.
The GeForce 8800 GTX is already the top performing single graphics card on the market, so it made a lot of sense that plugging two of them into the same system for some SLI action would again produce a fantastic result. But I didn't expect the experience to be so stable and for performance scaling to be this high.
In our gaming tests, including games like Company of Heroes, Flight Simulator X and Oblivion that weren't benchmarked but were play tested, I was constantly impressed by the performance the 8800 GTX SLI system was able to produce. The single 8800 GTX had already set the bar very high as it was able to best the single card performance of NVIDIA's own 7950 GX2 and 7900 GTX as well as AMD/ATI's X1950 XTX without breaking a sweat. Plugging into two cards showed impressive scaling, despite the fact that these cards were already above the level of anything else on the market. FEAR and Call of Duty 2 saw some particularly impressive results, with scaling in the 90% range, and even the aging Battlefield 2 and Lost Coast tests saw impressive increases in gaming performance.
Of course, the bigger gains were seen in the higher resolutions, like the 2560×1600 that is available on the still popular Dell 30″ LCD (which has come down to the $1400 range). Running FEAR at this resolution with all the eye candy turned up is an awe-inspiring game experience and most other games will see a dramatic level of detail when run at that resolution as well. Seeing my friends actually have to move their heads from side to side to get the whole picture on the screen while playing Day of Defeat: Source kept the smiles flowing too.
System Configurations
One thing for sure, if you are looking to put down the cash for a pair of these cards, make sure you have the CPU to back it up! I used the Core 2 Extreme X6800 running at 2.93 GHz, probably the fastest CPU for gaming available, but I would imagine the cheaper E6700 and even the new quad-core QX6700 processors would be more than happy to push the pixels necessary for gaming at this level. You simply must get as much of the bottleneck off of the processor in order to get the best possible frame rates, and thus the most scaling and value, out of your pair of 8800 GTX graphics cards.
The GeForce 8800 GTX Core
You'll also need a hefty power supply for an 8800 GTX SLI system. The PC Power and Cooling 1 KW PSU is a great choice, but for half the price, the Silverstone Zeus 850 watt unit is another good option.
Coupling all of that with an nForce 680i motherboard, maybe like the EVGA model we reviewed recently, and you'll be gaming on, without a doubt, the world's ultimate gaming platform. Xbox 360 and Playstation 3; eat your heart out!
Pricing and Availability
Again, when it comes to availability, NVIDIA has been nearly flawless in their execution of hard product launches. By having the cards ready when the reviews hit the web and the press releases hit the wire, users can get that instant-gratification that we all love!
The availability of 8800 GTX cards has not dwindled either; you can easily find cards from BFG Tech, EVGA, XFX, PNY, MSI, Asus and more in our pricing engine for as low as $600 — about where NVIDIA said they would be priced! 8800 GTS cards, which run at slower clock speeds and having fewer shader units, can be found for as low as $450.
Yes, these cards are not cheap by anyone's standard for a graphics card; but they are widely available at the prices we expected to see them at. Always a positive in our book here at PC Perspective.
Final Thoughts
If you are on the hunt for the ultimate gaming platform, your journey should start with a pair of GeForce 8800 GTX cards. Just be prepared to pump up the credit card balance a bit as you add a $250 nForce 680i motherboard, a CPU and some memory on to your $1200 video card purchase. An SLI setup using the latest NVIDIA flagship graphics cards is not for the weak, but the gaming performance on our test system was simply outstanding with superb multi-GPU scaling and gaming experiences we haven't seen anywhere else before.
If you have any questions or comments on this article, please head into this thread in our video card forum to discuss!

Use the form below to apply for enrollment. Once admission eligibility has been confirmed, you will be contacted for providing payment, following which you will be provided access to the course.
CHIMA's professional members who enrol in this program will earn 30 CPE credits upon completion.
The following requirements are mandatory for admission into the CDI program.
Applicants must be one of the following:
This program is for HIM professionals, nurses, physicians, and regulated health professionals who have a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology. These individuals are able to read and analyze all the information in a medical record and identify any gaps. As the goal of CDI is to improve the accuracy and completeness of clinical documentation, these groupings of individuals are best equipped to assess the clinical evidence and carryout the necessary follow up, including querying and educating physicians.
Yes. This is an online program delivered through the 3MSM Health Care Academy learning portal and you can begin at any time.
Now more than ever, a strong, highly respected clinical documentation improvement program can make a difference in achieving the goals of improving quality of care, improving case mix, and appropriate utilization of resources through quality information. In response to industry demand, 3M Canada, in partnership with CHIMA, developed the program to lead to advanced certification in CDI.
Physician documentation is often received in clinical terminology, not always listing the diagnostic equivalent. Highly-skilled nurses have the in-depth knowledge of disease processes, symptomology and appropriate treatment, as they have a background in the body systems, differential diagnoses, and corresponding common co-morbidities/complications associated with various diagnoses.
Many organizations have transitioned nurses in their respective organizations into this role as they have the knowledge and skills to "connect the dots" of signs and symptoms to lab/test results and then the treatment, thus identifying opportunities for diagnosis and/or specificity what was not documented by the physician.
Depending on the facility, the nurse continues to be a part of their respective unions as the position is just simply a transition to a new role, perhaps within their own organization. Often these positions provide an opportunity for nursing staff who have had injuries and who are unable to work at the bedside any longer. The roles of a CDI specialist include directing and managing the daily operations and processes of the program, such as:
The position brings an exciting opportunity for nurses to bring their skill and expertise to the forefront and be a part of improving overall healthcare in Canada.
No. At this time course material and correspondence are available in English only.
The examination and CCDIS certification process is managed by the Canadian College of Health Information Management (CCHIM), and CHIMA membership and associated fees may be required to obtain and maintain CCDIS certification. More details may be found here (English only).
Your application has been submitted successfully. A representative will contact you within 1-2 business days if you are eligible for the program.

Caragh O'Carroll speaks to us about her role in the technology sector and shares her thoughts on Ireland's Women in Tech Dublin, taking place 12-13th September 2019
Caragh O'Carroll, Account Director and Telecoms Sector Lead, has a keen interest in data strategy and the potential of data-centric companies. She focuses on transformation through combining business challenges with technology solutions for both managed services clients and new customers.
Caragh is passionate about co-creating and articulating how technology can improve and change our working and daily lives in this age of rapid digital transformation. With a background in engineering, operations, product management and partner management, she has insights into many business challenges and opportunities. Caragh has presented widely on GDPR and also recently on Artificial Intelligence in London. She joins us in Ireland for Women in Tech Dublin as one of our speakers.
Caragh will be sharing her knowledge at Women in Tech Dublin, taking place 12-13th September. Book today and join us for Caragh's session – 'Understanding Our Data Maturity'.
Please tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got to where you are today.
From looking at tiny gears and springs working together in harmony in watches, through to a love of maths and then reading engineering journals and choosing an engineering degree – I've always been fascinated by how things work.
With the internet age emerging at that time, I decided to move into telecoms. This sector was literally bringing connectivity to businesses and people, and I worked through Network Operations, Product Management, and Partner Management roles in the UK, Ireland, and across Europe before moving into IT Partner Management and now Sales, which shows how diverse careers can be!
Recently, I've become a Fujitsu Distinguished Engineer and I'm in the final stages of my Masters in Information Systems Strategy Management. All this shows how a technical background is a great foundation for many roles and the ability to adapt and continue learning and pushing boundaries never stops.
In this age of digital transformation, how can emerging technologies improve and change our working and daily lives? Please give an example of a piece of tech you're excited about.
It's really interesting. I've presented on Blockchain, Robotic Process Automation and Artificial Intelligence at Women in Tech Dublin in the past. Every technology has a home, but the use case must be chosen carefully. RPA excites me most at the moment because of how it can take the drudgery elements away from a business process, things like transferring data from one system to another that just need to be done and done often but are very straightforward and the steps are performed in a standard way every time.
While it's great to integrate systems at a deep level, RPA is an alternative for specific use cases like that and it can expand to other processes once a company gets familiar with it. We are seeing cases right now for transferring data from finance systems to CRM systems, for example.
Why have you decided to get involved with Women in Tech Dublin?
On a personal level, it's about pushing myself to share the knowledge I have with others and challenge myself to be able to articulate my thoughts clearly. For those who I hope will come to my talk, I believe it's a great conference to learn new ideas and concepts in a friendly way. The thing that's struck me most is the huge numbers of highly technical women who are great communicators and this just wasn't apparent at other technical conferences. It's empowering.
What are you speaking about at the conference?
I'm going to be speaking about data-centricity and data maturity. We've heard about the concepts of the Digital Economy or Digital Transformation… I'm getting to the root of how you actually make this happen.
What excites you about artificial intelligence?
I think AI has the potential to solve complex problems from a fact-basis and propose solutions based on clear rationale; this can either complement or replace our own decision-making which includes other nuances that aren't systemised e.g. gut feelings and other information from body language.
AI isn't simple to implement and it takes time to train. Gathering sufficient clean data consistently is also a constraint. Therefore, to embark on an AI project, you need clear goals and a well thought out strategy.
Why should people attend Women in Tech Dublin?
It's an inspiring event, with the opportunity to gain both personal career insights as well as learn about new technologies in a clearly-communicated way. For anyone at any stage in their career, it's time well spent.
What's a typical work day like for you?
It's a mixture of remote and office-based working, dealing with customers and teams locally and internationally. It can be anything from account strategy, roadmap, negotiation, reporting, stakeholder management, learning, planning… it's very varied.
Why are women so crucial to the continued growth of the tech sector?
For me, it's about recognising there's a wide talent pool and finding a way to attract women to apply for the many jobs out there. I don't think we've cracked it enough and there's certainly room to expand.
'It's not just women though, it's making sure that we attract all ethnicities and abilities.'
The industry should find different ways to attract a wider range of candidates for roles (such as gender shortlisting).
If the industry as a whole doesn't tackle this issue, growth will be difficult as the sector's capacity to flourish will be limited.
What are you doing to promote women in tech at Fujitsu?
Fujitsu is very supportive – e.g. I've recently become a Fujitsu Distinguished Engineer and, while women are under-represented in this community, I use any opportunity I can to showcase how women can take on technical-based challenges and succeed. We also have a programme to actively sponsor female technical talent and to raise their profile to support their future success.
What advice would you give to women who want to pursue a career in STEM?
STEM careers are super! They are so varied. There is never a boring day. You can never learn enough. There is always more to discover. If you are interested in a STEM career, just write a goal down and figure out the next few steps to get there. As your journey progresses, figure out further steps.
Are you working on anything exciting at the moment that you'd like to share with our readers?
I'm reviewing an internal process to see how effectively we use data. Applying knowledge is where the value from learning comes in. Maybe I'll be able to share some updates in the future.
Join us at Women in Tech Dublin, taking place 12-13 September 2019. There's still time to secure your spot – book today!

As a dog owner, a dog crate is a staple piece of equipment in most homes. This is especially true if you have decided to crate train your dog.
The main advantage of a dog crate is that it provides your dog with a safe, quiet space in the house where they can sleep. As well as this, when you're outside of the house you can be sure they are safe and not causing mischief.
Crate training is also a good way to potty train your dog as they'll be less inclined to go where they sleep.
Collapsible dog crates have the added advantage that they can be deconstructed and moved someplace else with ease. Their portable design is especially useful if you and your dog are traveling.
In this article, we'll look at the best collapsible dog crates for a Bichon Frise including the best overall option, the best budget option, and the best soft collapsible dog crate.
Best Overall Collapsible Dog Crate For A Bichon Frise
#1 MidWest Homes for Pets Dog Crate
The best overall option for a collapsible dog crate for a Bichon Frise is the MidWest Homes for Pets Dog Crate.
This dog crate is simple, sturdy, and stores away easily.
It comes in a variety of different sizes and configurations depending on your requirements.
You can choose between a single and double door design which can be useful depending on where you'll be setting up your collapsible dog crate.
In terms of size, the 30-inch option measures 30″ x 19″ x 21″. This one should be big enough for a Bichon Frise or similar size dog according to the breed reference chart.
The addition of a divider panel means you can adjust the space for your puppy while they grow. This means you won't need to buy multiple crates as your puppy grows in size.
With that being said, it's always a good idea to measure your dog and allow some extra room for enough comfort.
The collapsible design of this dog crate means you can assemble and disassemble it easily without the need for any tools.
What's more, the carrying handles mean you can transport it anywhere with ease.
Best Budget Collapsible Dog Crate For A Bichon Frise
#2 AmazonBasics Single-Door Dog Crate
As far as a budget collapsible dog crate, you can't go wrong with the AmazonBasics Single-Door Dog Crate.
This dog crate features a single door design and comes in a range of different sizes depending on the size of your dog.
Take some time to measure the size of your dog to determine the best size crate to buy. Allow a bit more room for added comfort.
With that in mind, this dog crate also comes with a divider panel. This means you can adjust the space in the crate as your dog grows.
This is ideal for new puppy owners as by keeping the crate small in size you'll reduce the chances of your puppy going to the bathroom in the crate.
The collapsible nature of the crate means it can easily fold flat for compact storage. The plastic carry handle also helps you to carry the crate wherever you need to for added portability.
What's more, the crate is also easy to assemble and doesn't require any additional tools.
Best Soft Collapsible Dog Crate For A Bichon Frise
#3 EliteField 3-Door Folding Soft Dog Crate
If you would rather invest in a "soft" dog crate i.e. one made from softer materials rather than just metal, then the EliteField 3-Door Folding Soft Dog Crate is likely what you're looking for.
This dog crate is full of great features and comes in a variety of colors and sizes to suit any dog and their style.
As with all dog crates, it's a good idea to measure your dog before selecting a dog crate to ensure they'll have enough space to fit in and get comfortable.
While the crate's frame is made from strong steel tubing, the rest of the crate features a soft yet durable fabric and hex mesh fabric.
This allows for a lightweight and well-ventilated dog crate.
Also included with this dog crate is a removable fleece bed and carrying bag.
The fleece bed will ensure added comfort for your dog and is also machine washable making it easy to keep clean.
The handy carrying bag allows you to easily carry the dog crate wherever you need to in a small form factor.
The addition of a handle and adjustable carry straps also allow for easy transport.
Thank you for reading this article. If you found some value from this article, please consider sharing it on social media. It will help other dog owners like you to find it.
Finally, if you enjoyed reading this article on the best collapsible dog crates for a Bichon Frise, I highly recommend you read these articles next:

About the research
Placing concrete under water has been a necessity for several bridges built over water streams. Based on the current practice, there are two main approaches to construct underwater reinforced concrete (RC) structural elements: (1) drying the site first by using cofferdams and pumps and then pouring concrete as usual and (2) placing concrete in the presence of water. The former approach has been employed with a relative success from a technical perspective. However, it can cause a range of safety and environmental concerns, especially if the required equipment experiences any failure. Furthermore, the former approach costs notably more than the latter one (i.e., up to twofold). The outlined issues have encouraged transportation agencies to consider the latter approach, in which concrete is directly placed underwater, thus eliminating significant (and costly) site preparation requirements. Despite advantages, however, construction of RC structural elements, such as piers and abutments, without cofferdams can be challenging in aquatic environments. In particular, the quality of the concrete placed under water can be adversely affected because of the issues with segregation of the concrete and loss of the cement paste. Consequently, strength and durability of the RC structural elements placed in water can be compromised, requiring significant maintenance and repair.
To address the outlined issues and identify best practices for the placement of concrete underwater and deep drilled shafts, WisDOT has expressed interest in a comprehensive research on the subject of underwater concrete for bridge substructures. The goal of this research is to assess WisDOT current policy, standards, and specifications, the policy and practices of other DOTs, and current industry practices (including other marine environment construction industries), and then provide guidance to be used in improving WisDOT policy, standards, and specifications related to underwater concrete placement.

In the beauty industry, they call it the "Caroline effect." Skin-care influencer Caroline Hirons is so powerful that she can bring a product back from near death. Legend has it that in 2013, Clinique was about to discontinue its Take the Day Off Balm. But after Hirons gave a wholehearted recommendation of it on her site, the boost acted like defibrillator paddles and saved the product from entering the product graveyard. (Clinique even provided an official statement about the incident.) Hirons has done the same for other beloved products, among them Biologique P-50 and Pixi Glow Tonic.
On the beauty boards and on YouTube, Hirons comes across as a wisecracking straight-talker who isn't afraid to cut through the jargon and deliver the truth, scattered with a few F-bombs. Her first book — out this week — is called SkinCARE: The Ultimate No-Nonsense Guide. It answers basic questions like how much product you should use, with helpful cheat sheets devoted to eye cream and other skin-care categories. There's also a section called "Get Into the Sea" filled with products Hirons considers a complete waste of space and time. Among them: face wipes (Hirons's public enemy No. 1), sheet masks ("wipes with holes cut out for eyes"), and foaming cleansers ("No part of your body should squeak").
The Cut caught up with Hirons to talk about beauty routines during COVID-19, how she thinks Black Lives Matter will affect the beauty industry, and whether skin care is, ultimately, kind of a scam.
How has the pandemic affected the way you've thought about skin care and beauty?
It hasn't changed anything for me. For other people, I think it's made them sit up and take care of their skin a bit more. I've heard that many people's skin is changing. Most people have gone one of two ways. They're either dry, dehydrated, flaky, or they're breaking out.
I am just doing what I always do. If people are avoiding wipes and doing something properly, then that's good. People who are active in the skin care community have been loving it. It's a great time to soup up the actives, retinoids, without having to worry about downtime.
A few years ago, an article went viral suggesting that skin care was "a scam." What did you think of the piece and the premise?
I saw that. I was not happy. I read that and thought, She's either blessed with great genes, is the most cynical person on earth, or both. If anything, it got me a few more followers because I became a safe place for people who not only need skin care but enjoy using it.
I've always said that people should feel like the healthiest version of themselves. I hate the term anti-aging. Surely that's a bonus to life, getting older. You need to talk to someone you trust about skin care. Everyone comes at it with a different angle at a different time of their life. There's not one product that will make you a skin-care believer — it's much more nuanced than that. If you're jaded about skin care, what was your previous bad experience? And just like any industry, there's good and bad. What's up with your skin genetically? Are you going through menopause or puberty? Everyone has a different story.
When I meet someone I say, "Tell me what you're using and what you want from this." It's not about my agenda. My agenda is to help them get the skin they want. If they say, "I want everything firmed up and don't want to look a day over 30," then I say, "Well, you may need a needle." Considering we all have the same skin, it's all different.
What motivates you to have a skin-care routine, personally? Is it because it's your job?
I don't do it because it's my job. It's been ingrained in me since I was a teen. I've been doing it almost 40 years. This job happened because I took care of my skin and went down that road. I don't need motivation to do it. It's an integral part of my everyday self-care.
Why do you see skin care as self-care?
I think of vanity and self-care as different things. It's not vain if you take care of yourself. It's fundamental. You're not vain when you eat dinner. Washing your hair and face and rear end is not vanity. It's self-care. Vanity comes into it if you are obsessive about things about yourself that you want to change. It ties into self-acceptance — when people grow up hating certain parts of their body or themselves.
Why not take care of your skin? If you need encouragement to proceed with self-care, there's a bigger issue besides that you don't feel like cleansing. Your skin and hygiene are some of the first things you neglect when you're not well. For example, I have quite a few readers in the North Corridor who have Lyme disease. They tell me that they don't have the energy, and they can't do anything. They ask me, "What's the bare minimum I can do?"
Do you see skin care as health?
There's a certain element of health. But it's no different from my two cats licking themselves. It's self-care; it's related to their health. They're all kind of intertwined. Is brushing your teeth vain? It's just grooming, and humans have been doing it for centuries. Before there were toothbrushes and toothpaste, there were sticks. Men get away with calling it grooming, but when it's women, there's negativity.
I've been doing Instagram Lives all during lockdown. I've done it with gray roots in a bun. My lashes fell off in week two. My nails fell off who knows when. Beauty is prone to a lot of judgment because people like to judge women. Some reports seem to suggest that it's the sole responsibility of the beauty industry to reduce plastic, as if plastic bottles and straws don't exist. Again, because it's women.
Face wipes, however, are a whole other argument. They're created for laziness. They're destroying the planet. What you won't get from me is making women feel guilty for taking care of themselves.
What effect do you think Black Lives Matter will have on the beauty industry?
I'm 50, so I've seen uprisings. Things then quickly went back to "normal." The fact that L'Oréal apologized publicly to Munroe Bergdorf is great and long overdue. Over here in the U.K., Boots was called out by a Black woman who noticed that all the Caucasian hair care was on a shelf, and all the Black hair care was security-tagged. Little things like that chip away — it suggests that you're a thief or you can't be trusted because of your skin color. I'm hoping we're turning a corner we don't have to visit again. I hope it doesn't once again just become the way we operate because the beauty industry is run by middle-aged white men.
My daughter's generation will see hopefully more change. They won't have to go through what I went through coming up the ranks. Like when you tell people you're pregnant and they ask you, "Are you keeping it?" — emphasis on it. Well, no Brian, if I wasn't keeping it, would I be telling you? Now I look back and think, Oh God, we put up with so much crap.
In the long term, the vision has to be that we support more independent businesses, and Black-owned businesses. These businesses also need financial aid so that we can lift them out of the trials that white people have put them in. We need to think about how we can fix this. Once COVID-19 has ended and we have some sense of normality, it will be key to see who is still left standing and has honored what they've said they're going to do.
When you recommend a product, is it based on the merits of the product only? Or do you take other things into account, like the company's values and their political stances?
It had always been product first. So if the product is great, then I think about the brand. There are a couple of brands I don't talk about because I have personal history with them and I won't give them the oxygen. The main thing my readers ask about is animal testing and then whether a product is vegan.
In my autumn and winter skin-care kits, we will be doing a shout-out to smaller Black-owned businesses. We may have to help them financially, as a lot of these brands may not be used to making the quantity needed for these kits. We're looking at ways we can support business while still doing ours, and extending it into, yes, they have to be ethical. If L'Oréal hadn't apologized to Munroe, it would have been a different situation.
It depends on the politics, and it's nuanced. One of the Lauders has donated millions to Trump. If you were to say, "Right, we are boycotting Lauder," you're also boycotting the biggest employer of Black people in our industry. No one employs more nonwhite people than M.A.C. If you boycott Lauder, the knockdown effect is not supporting Black makeup artists.
Lauder does a lot of things very well. Let's face it, they are a massively privileged family. The way they counter it is with charity donations and breast-cancer awareness, and the people I know in management and head-office roles there are very happy. They do employ a lot of people who aren't white. It all depends on what's important to you. Every person will have to vote with their own dollar.
