[MUSIC] [BLANK_AUDIO] This is a 22-year-old female with chronic epigastric pain. And her pain was worse after fatty meals. So we suspected the problem with the gall bladder. However, when we obtained imaging of her liver we could see that the liver actually appeared quiet bizarre and mutated. [COUGH] Here we can see that the liver is centrally
located and also rotated on its axis, and we can see that the portion of the stomach lies between the different lobes of the liver, and the gall bladder is in fact intrahepatic. So looking at her anatomy a little more carefully, we can see that the IVC here, the suprahepatic IVC in located anteriorly as are the hepatic veins. Okay? But also that the
remainder of the IVC is located posteriorly, and so this is interruption of the hepatic, sorry, interruption of the inferior vena cava. We can also see that the spleen and the stomach are located on the left side, but that the liver itself is located midline. We can see that there is a defect in the anterior abdominal wall, and this patient has had a repair of the omphalocele at birth. And
also the gall bladder lies intrahepatically. The bowel also is mal-rotated, and we can see that most of the colon lies in the right, sorry, in the left aspect of the liver, and most of the small bowel was in the right aspect of the abdomen. [BLANK_AUDIO] So in this patient, we can see a midline liver, an intrahepatic gallbladder, left sided heart, stomach, and spleen,
interruption of the IVC, a lobulated spleen, which I didn't show you, a repaired omphalocele, and mal-rotation of the bowel. And therefore, the diagnosis is situs ambiguous as part of heterotaxy syndrome. So this diagram nicely demonstrates situs solitus, or the normal anatomy. The situs can also be totally reversed, or situs inversus, as in this patient. Then there were bilateral left-sidedness and
right-sidedness. So bilateral left-sidedness or polysplenia syndrome, is a manifestation of heterotaxy syndrome. And in these patients we can see a midline liver, mal-rotation of the bowel, and bilateral left-sidedness to the lower anatomy of the lungs. And in asplenia syndrome, generally the spleen is absent, and again, we have mal-rotation of the bowel with a central
liver. [BLANK_AUDIO] So with polysplenia syndrome, we can get multiple different findings, and none of these have to be present for diagnosis. In the spleen, generally, we can see multiple spleen or polysplenia, but sometimes it can just be lobulated or even normal appearing. The liver tends
to be midline, and there may be anomalies of the biliary tree/g. Like in our patient, with a intrahepatic gallbladder. The pancreas tends to have an absent body and tail so it's a just shortened pancreas. There is interruption of the inferior vena cava. Generally, the aorta tends to be left-sided as does the heart, and usually there are rotational anomalies affecting the bowel. [BLANK_AUDIO] This patient
also had the right upper quadrant pain. And on imaging we could see there were multiple stones with within the gallbladder. And so we performed CT cholangiography to demonstrate the anatomy of the bile ducts so that she could have cholecystectomy in a safe manner. So the approach to the gallbladder in this patient was a posterior approach, as we had demonstrated
a portion of the gallbladder which she was open to the porta hepatis. [BLANK_AUDIO]
anatomy. The situs can also be totally reversed, or situs inversus, as in this patient. Then there were bilateral left-sidedness and
right-sidedness. So bilateral left-sidedness or polysplenia syndrome, is a manifestation of heterotaxy syndrome. And in these patients we can see a midline liver, mal-rotation of the bowel, and bilateral left-sidedness to the lower anatomy of the lungs. And in asplenia syndrome, generally the spleen is absent, and again, we have mal-rotation of the bowel with a central
liver. [BLANK_AUDIO] So with polysplenia syndrome, we can get multiple different findings, and none of these have to be present for diagnosis. In the spleen, generally, we can see multiple spleen or polysplenia, but sometimes it can just be lobulated or even normal appearing. The liver tends
to be midline, and there may be anomalies of the biliary tree/g. Like in our patient, with a intrahepatic gallbladder. The pancreas tends to have an absent body and tail so it's a just shortened pancreas. There is interruption of the inferior vena cava. Generally, the aorta tends to be left-sided as does the heart, and usually there are rotational anomalies affecting the bowel. [BLANK_AUDIO] This patient
This is another patient with heterotaxy syndrome. In this patient we can see a midline liver which is generally located more on the left side, the heart is also on the left side. When we look at the axial images we can see that the spleen and the liver are both left sided, okay. But also, there are bilateral adrenal masses which
are high signal intensity on T2, and which demonstrate fluid-full levels because of hemorrhage. So this patient actually has two different syndromes. Left Sided Liver, Spleen, Heart, and Stomach with rotational abnormalities of the bowel, which I didn't show you. And these are consistent with situs ambiguous, and then bilateral pheochromocytomas.
The patient also had a known medullary thyroid carcinoma, and so they also have multiple endocrine neoplasia type II. When we see
diffuse liver diseases it's important to look at the pattern of their distribution, and in this patient, we can see that these nodular cystic areas within the liver tend to be distributed in a periportal manner or area. Okay. And here on this CT scan we can see
that they follow the portal triads. And these are in fact, peri-biliary abscesses. The patient had a history of gastric carcinoma, and the question was whether these nodules are metastases or they represent abscesses, as the patient also had the fever and this distribution would be typical for for abscess. Here's the MR examination. You can see the MR
CP where there is ductile obstruction and dilatation because of tumor recurrence, and this was the cause for the peri-biliary abscesses.
[BLANK_AUDIO] This is a patient who presented to us, he was 19 years old, and he had nausea and vomiting, and abdominal pain which was chronic,
but which had worsened recently. In this patient, we can see that there is enlargement of the liver. It began with the lateral segment coming over and touching the spleen. The spleen itself is also enlarged. So there is element of portal hypertension here. And we can see that there is lobar redistribution with the right lobe of the liver relatively small, and the left lobe of the liver
being quite enlarged. There's ductal dilatation, and there is some areas of hepatic congestion, with this reticulated appearance. We perform an MRCP to look at the bile ducts a little more carefully, and we could see that there was a filling defect within the left hepatic duct, and this is nicely demonstrated also on the ultrasound as
well. So this patient actually had stool examination. And his stool was positive for eggs from three different parasites. Hepatic schistosomiasis mansoni, fasciola hepatica probably what's causing the bile duct disease, and also tapeworm disease within the intestines. [BLANK_AUDIO] There
are two different species of schistosoma that cause hepatic diseases. These are schistosomiasis japonicum and schistosomiasis mansoni.
Japonicum tends to cause more linear parenchymal areas of fibrosis because the eggs of japonicum are quite small and they tend to travel up the portal vein and deeper into the hepatic parenchyma. Schistosomiasis mansoni produces larger eggs, and these eggs get lodged in larger hepatic, sorry portal veins, and this rather causes an inflammatory reaction and fibrosis
in the central portal veins. And so we can see periportal fibrosis. And so the imaging manifestation hepatatious/g schistosomiasis really depends on where we see those areas of fibrosis, where the eggs deposit. So on a ultrasound, with schistosomiasis japonicum, we'll see radiating
echogenic septae that extend from portal triads to the hepatic capsule. And these will appear as turtoise shell areas of calcification, if they're calcified, on CT scan. And on MR we can also see the enhancing thickened capsule and the fibrous bands. With schistosomiasis
mansoni, on the other hand, on ultrasound, CT, and MR we can see the manifestation of periportal fibrosis with increased echogenicity or decreased attenuation on ultrasound and CT around the portal triads. So here
This is a patient that has multiple hepatic masses, but before we look at the hepatic masses, we should also look at the backroom/g liver. And here we can see that the liver is enlarged, and has this reticular pattern of enhancement which is typical for hepatic congestion. So in this patient we can see that the hepatic masses on the arterial phase have nodular
areas of enhancement, but not only these are peripheral, as would be seen in a hemangioma, but we can also see central areas of enhancement. So this would be quite atypical for hepatic hemangioma. So then we have these masses with hypervascular regions, and in the venous phase, these areas don't tend to get larger. On the venous phase we can also appreciate the reticular pattern of enhancement that
we can see in hepatic congestion along with the enlarged hepatic veins, and prominent IVC. So putting the findings together, multiple hypervascular hepatic masses, with hepatic congestion, these will be consistent with the carcinoid hepatic metastases, and the congestion would be from right heart failure from endocardial fibrosis.
Hepatic congestion has a typical appearance, as I had mentioned,
gives you that reticular pattern of enhancement. And these are three different patients with different causes for congestion. In the first patient, she had pulmonary hypertension, second patient had dilated cardiomyopathy, and the third patient actually had a tumor within the heart which was causing obstruction of the hepatic outflow.
[BLANK_AUDIO] This is a patient that has an unusual appearance to the liver, and the liver looks a little bit bizarre in its outline. And then we provide contrast enhancement we can see that in the arterial phase there are multiple heterogeneous areas of enhancement throughout the liver, but also early in the arterial phase, we can see that
there is filling of the hepatic veins. So this is a hint to us, a clue to us, that there is shunting through the hepatic parenchyma from the hepatic artery into the hepatic veins. So multiple hepatic mass-like areas with shunting through/g the liver. This is a different patient with the same diagnosis. So when we look at the liver, we can identify these
large mass-like regions of shunting through the liver. Again these are arterial phase images with early filling of the hepatic veins. The liver is also enlarged and lobulated, and the hepatic artery is quite enlarged because of all the shunting. So this is a typical appearance for hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasias or Osler–Weber–Rendu syndrome. So we see numerous hepatic shunts and the shunts can
be between the artery and the hepatic vein or the hepatic artery and the portal vein, and even between the veins themselves. There is also early filling of the hepatic veins, there is a manifestation of the shunting, the liver becomes enlarged as does the hepatic artery. Here is a different patient on MR examination, and we can see this
large lobulated liver with flow voids in the hepatic arteries because of the increased hepatic velocities. [BLANK_AUDIO] And this brings us to the
end of part one of diffused liver diseases. I wanna thank you, and I'd like you to join us for part two of the same topic. [BLANK_AUDIO]

The Fight of Your Life
When I was little, my mother used to warn me when I was hyper with happiness, "Calm down or else you'll be crying soon." I thought about this because the other day, I was bright with joy. I was writing snappy texts to my friend. I wrote "I am so full of myself today; you better watch out!" And I was so full of myself. I could feel my body in my body, and I loved the world. I loved that I could sit and watch a movie if I wanted or go for a swim or see someone I knew on the street and say hi. It was all so fun and exciting.
But the next day I woke up deep in the doldrums, my brain telling me you're in trouble, you're in trouble. The rest of the day continued in emotionally rocky territory. I wanted to cry, I just didn't know why or have a definite enough reason to make the tears come. So they just kind of leaked out as the day went on. I hurt.
Before, when I didn't let myself think much about adoption and I started feeling sad out of nowhere, I would have just said, "I don't know," when my friends asked what was wrong with me, but now I have a different idea. I think the trauma I felt as an infant was still trying to make its way out of my body.
Being adopted can make you feel insane. I have a friend who is adopted who spent some time, as she says, in the mental hospital. She went there because the anti-depressants her doctor had put her on had backfired and had made her suicidal. But because doctors in general are ill-informed about the lingering effects of adoption, no one talked to my friend about what was REALLY making her depressed—not, I would argue, the chemicals in her brain, but the dagger-in-the-heart question Why did my mother give me away? that, unaddressed, can eat at one's ability to fully function in the world—and in, what I see as a wild misdiagnosis, the doctors almost killed her.
Once, when my daughter was four, during her birthday party I lost her in The Jungle, one of those huge places kids play in tunnels. The moment I realized she was gone, my internal body collapsed in terror. I tried to focus, tried to think of what to do first. I grabbed my husband and asked him to search the men's room. I was so afraid I could barely move, and so my friends moved for me, scouring the place until they found her burying herself in the plastic balls, having the time of her life.
For many people, for me, living as an adoptee is living with that feeling all the time. The good news is that the body and the mind can't keep up that crippling level of anxiety, and so there is a numbing. The feeling gets muffled, sometimes almost silenced, but it's there, and more often than not I think adoptees have the distracting sense that something is wrong, but they just don't know what, and so they cause problems on which they can blame their grief or anger or confusion.
For example, when I was younger, I could get these feelings by not doing my homework. As an adult, I have found being in debt is useful to me because then I KNOW why I think I'm stupid and incapable of caring for myself: I don't know how to handle money. Dumb me. What an idiot. I can beat myself up because who sells a perfectly good car just to buy a new one when she doesn't even have a job. Debt is great. I can have the satisfaction of trying to exist in the world by buying things and then I can punish myself later for being out of control.
Breaking up with people is also a wonderful way to feel really bad. Stealing is cool because you get stuff and then you get to feel awful for how you did it. Lying is helpful. You can say whatever you want and then feel like you are wearing a mask. Setting fires can be a good one. You can exhibit some of your anger and then feel like a criminal for damaging property. As you can see, there are so many behaviors where an adoptee can exhibit the complicated nature of her brain.
The problem is that if everything is going well in my life, I don't have the opportunity to let off adoption grief (which I had never named before—I thought maybe I was just super moody or bipolar) and then I'm in the uncomfortable position of being a happy person with a well of aching discomfort built up inside of her. I have to do something to let it out: break up with my boyfriend, overeat, say something mean, get drunk. Something.
There is god-awful battle going on in my brain. There's the me who loves herself and her life and everyone in it. Her name is Sunshine. She is confident and curious and smart. Then there's the me who came into being in the gap between when I was born and when I was adopted and her name is Hari Kari. Her job is to kill Sunshine, and she's really good at it, because she has logic on her side: how can Sunshine exist when her own mother didn't want her? Nope. Sunshine has to go. The thing is, Sunshine sees the good in herself and so she tries mightily to defeat Hari Kari. She tries to be the good girl. She tries to make others happy. But then Hari Kari hands Sunshine a knife, and Sunshine can't help herself because she feels Hari Kari's fury that this life was not the life she was born to—this is a shadow life, and nothing makes sense and so she does some damage and Sunshine isn't such a good girl after all. She's adopted, and god only knows where she came from, and so even though she is so lucky, even though she was chosen, there is clearly something wrong with her, and she's just not who her family thought. She's such a disappointment. Maybe Sunshine cuts herself. Maybe she cuts someone else. She does something bad because, at least for now, Hari Kari has lead position in the brain, a fact for which Sunshine will later pay dearly.
I have a dear friend to whom I talk to about my feelings. He has two adopted boys and has a lot at stake when it comes to learning about adoption. He told me nothing makes him happier than holding me when I cry. When I was young and lost, there was a day I could not stop crying. I think I scared my father, for neither he nor my mother could see what was so wrong. Why was I crying? I wasn't hurt. I wasn't hungry. I couldn't even tell them what was wrong. Why was I, at eighteen, being such a baby? My father had finally said, "Enough of this crying. Stop," and had walked out of the room. It was a reasonable response, but for an adopted person, I am finding, there may never be "enough" time for crying if the person is trying hard to hold it in. I have a feeling that the more my friend holds me and lets me sob, the less I will need to cry in the future. Holding it back has been so painful. I hear of adoptees with chronic fatigue, skin conditions, fibromyalgia, depression, you get the idea. I'm starting to wonder what would happen to these illnesses if an adoptee, no matter the age, was held and allowed to acknowledge the grief that is associated with adoption. If the adoptee was allowed—allowed himself, herself—to cry. Perhaps for years.
I'm curious.
And that's a hundred times better than depressed.

text: Share: Comments Print August 6, 2012 at 11:03 AM "The Great Gatsby" moves to next year Posted by Moira Macdonald Well, count me disappointed. Warner Bros. announced today that Baz Luhrmann's much-anticipated (and wonderfully cast) adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" has been abruptly moved from its Christmas 2012 release date to an unspecified Summer 2013 slot. The reason? Because WB execs seem to think it'll get a bigger audience in the summer. At least that's what they're saying. So, cross this one off your Oscar-potential list; we'll catch up with Leonardo DiCaprio's Jay Gatsby, Tobey Maguire's Nick Carraway, and Carey Mulligan's Daisy Buchanan next year. Is her voice really full of money? We'll have to wait and see. (Photo courtesy Warner Bros. Pictures) Comments

My Microblading Experience: Process & Thoughts
What is it?
Last summer, I got my eyebrows microbladed and I've been waiting to share the experience with you! If you haven't heard of microblading yet, it's a semi-permanent makeup technique that deposits pigment just underneath the skin using brushed strokes that resemble real hair. I've been considering it for ages, mostly for the convenience factor, before I finally took the plunge. Now that it's been 6 months, I think I'm ready to give a full review of the experience.
. . .
I booked an appointment with Chloe at The Beauty House, after looking at her work on their Instagram. It's so important to look at the artist's portfolio to make sure their work aligns with what you're looking for. For instance, I found some artists' lines too harsh, but some were too soft or blurred. Something I personally do not like is when the microbladed strokes look too defined at the inner corner, and that was something I wanted to avoid. And I definitely did not want harsh brows that looked drawn on. Chloe's looked like the perfect mix of what I wanted my brows to look like: soft but defined strokes that blended easily with natural brow hair.
I think I ended up spending more than 3 hours at the consultation / first appointment. 80% of the appointment was perfecting the shape, which in my opinion is the most crucial part. Some of the adjustments were so subtle, but I knew I may regret it if I didn't speak up then. Chloe was so patient the entire time, drawing and making minor adjustments to the thickness and height until they were perfect and what I wanted.
Before I go on, what I should share first is some history about my own brows. Let's just say when left alone they're these sad little things which are practically non-existent, and also unbelievably uneven. I knew they were uneven but until I didn't realize how severe it was! Seriously, when Chloe had finished drawing in the shape my right brow was about half a cm higher than my natural brow line! I'm not even exaggerating. Let's just say I was quite excited to have them as a set of siblings than distant cousins…
In the end I opted to go with a natural arch, and Chloe recommended for our first appointment to go thinner and lighter than I would otherwise. This way we can look at the shape firstly, and in follow up appointments we could always go thicker and darker - but it would be much tougher to do the reverse. Better safe than sorry.
. . .
The one thing I wasn't ready for was the pain of the actual microblading procedure. I'd read from other blogs that the pain was very manageable, almost a firm scratch. When it started - Oh. My. God. I thought I had a decent pain tolerance but for whatever reason it friggin' hurt! Not to mention the sound was this unpleasant scratching that I did not know skin was capable of making. Haha, I'm making this sound like a horror story but I'm probably overdramatic. There is a numbing cream applied before and during the process. You can also ask for more throughout which helps ease the sensation. Some areas are definitely more sensitive like the arch bone area, whereas some I could barely feel through the numbing cream. Okay—considering the whole thing only lasts about 20 to 30 minutes, it wasn't that bad.
I'll post some before and after photos of the immediate results down below but as you'll be able to see, it was very natural and thinner than I would normally go. Mostly I was so not used to seeing myself with evened out brows, I kept thinking I looked surprised! Not to worry, this all gets sorted out at the follow-up :)
. . .
For the first 3 to 4 days, be prepared to go out (or stay in) with some bold brows. I don't really mind, and I didn't think it was that bad overall. You're supposed to try and keep it dry for as long as possible, but by about the 4th day I gave in. Chloe also gave me some ointment to apply morning and night... but truthfully, I only managed to keep that up irregularly as well. Obviously I'm not a very good patient.
By day 3, the area had started scabbing over and flaking. It's so important during this time to not pick at it, because the pigment is in the scab so if you scratch it off you may end up with gaps (the horror). The hardest part… trying not to scratch the itch that came with the scabbing! It only lasts about a week though and just mildly irritating at times.
After all the scabbing falls off by itself, I read that you may see the colour pigmentation disappear then come back in a week, but this never happened to me. Once the scabbing finished, that was it. The total recovery time was about two weeks.
. . .
My second appointment was 6 weeks after the first one. By this point I pretty much had no pigmentation left in my brows, which was supposed to be perfectly normal. The second application "locks in" the pigment and after that, you shouldn't need another touch-up for another 8 to 12 months to maintain the same colour. I was still kind of paranoid that I was an exception though, since I could only find the faintest remainder of the first microblading session.
After having a month to mull over the final shape, I decided to go with a thicker, straighter shape and to deepen the colour. Again, most of the appointment was spent drawing in the shape with the actual microblading part taking only around 30 minutes. The pain was the same, sorry to say, but 30 minutes of that is definitely worth it to me.
After the first appointment I was still getting adjusted, because it was a bit of a different shape than I think I normally go for, not to mention the added symmetry took some time to get used to. After my follow-up though, I was so much happier with the final shape and results. The area healed after two weeks, and the strokes softened after the first month. Since then, I really can't say I've seen too much change—which is just amazing. Chloe also has a video of the transformation on her Instagram, linked here.
. . .
Since the follow-up appointment, it's been about 6 months. I took these blog photos back at the start of December and even now I don't feel the need to go for a touch-up any time soon. Occasionally I'll brush some light brow gel through if I have darker makeup on, but 95% of the time this is how they look like.
At the end of the day, I'm so glad I went through with the whole process. It's shortened my weekday getting ready so much—most days I don't wear any makeup and it's the most refreshing feeling ever. In my case it's also improved the symmetry of my face in such a positive way (once I got used to seeing it, I don't think I could go back now). I could never achieve this by makeup alone, and especially not if I was in a hurry. If you're in Toronto, I would recommend Chloe from The Beauty House in a heartbeat. Honestly, as much as I moan about the pain, it's worth it and I'll definitely get a touch-up once it fades. If you have any questions or are thinking about it, feel free to email or DM me on Instagram :)

I began telecommuting just about ten years before a past business. It was a move inside the organization that brought me out of workspace damnation into a minor home office in the mountains of Colorado. It was a liven above even the compensation increment the exchange advertised.
I rapidly began to look all starry-eyed at the flexibility that telecommuting announced. Despite everything I had available time to keep up, yet I had the flexibility to go for a climb at lunch, cook something on the stove, or sit before the television to watch a demonstration that I may somehow or another miss. What's more, best of all there was no drive.
Telecommuting requires train, and it needs an individual identity. Most importantly you must have the capacity to complete your work without somebody behind you and honesty is an absolute requirement. I've generally been all the more a maverick, particularly in my work. Telecommuting is most likely not for you on the off chance that you have to interface with individuals vis-à-Vis. It could undoubtedly be desolate for individuals that need that human communication.
In the long run, the work that conveyed me to Colorado was finished, and I was prepared for the next venture. Regardless I worked for a similar organization, yet now there was no necessity where I lived. I rapidly became tired of the long winters and chose to move. I picked Virginia Beach, Virginia. Telecommuting turned into a remarkable path for me to visit different spots. In any case, not at all like short vacations, I was extremely ready to drench myself into the way of life of each place I lived. Colorado had the climbing and going dirt road romping I appreciate, yet Virginia Beach had the beach.
The place I leased was hindered from the oceanfront, so it was simple for me to disappear over lunch and appreciate the crashing of the waves. Virginia was a great deal of fun and is the place I met my significant other, where we had our first youngster, and where we purchased our first house. We often delighted in the beach, and the winters were undoubtedly more tolerable then Colorado.
Things inevitably changed at that organization, and it was looking as though they would move everybody back to the home office in the sub-zero north. I wasn't prepared to come back to desk area damnation (not to mention a frightful drive) and chose the time had come to proceed onward.
Fortunately, I had numerous customers, and one offered me an occupation immediately. My best prerequisite was telecommuting. Their primary necessity was that I move to Georgia so I would be inside driving separation of the organization. It was a little cost to pay. I view myself as favored to have the chance to have telecommuted for whatever length of time that I have.
Telecommuting can have its particular difficulties, yet it can be forlorn regardless of whether you're not the maverick sort. In any case, there's not at all like getting up to run outside to play with your little girl for temporarily when you require a short break as opposed to escaping your work area.

A Moment of Peace
Ma (間) is a Japanese philosophy that emphasizes the importance of negative space. It places life's greatest value in the gap between subjects. This can be taken literally in physical art, but it can also be taken symbolically in stories and real world situations. As the saying goes, "It's the journey, not the destination."
Ma: Moment of Peace was created to allow artists of varying styles to depict their interpretation of Ma. The featured artists in the gallery were not given limitations on the medium or style they could choose, just so long as they depicted Ma in one way or another. In this small gallery, one can observe the passing and often times personal moments in life that glue our experiences together.
"Pots are formed from clay,
but the empty space within it
is the essence of the pot."
- Lao Tsu
Ma is the walk to school, waiting for a train, a midday nap, or watching the sunset.
Ma is the magic of the day to day.
Ma gives importance to the simple, and brings context to all things by providing pause.
Dawn - guinevere Reilly
The act of waiting is essential to the human experience. Most of our lives are waiting in one way or another. Waiting for the bus, waiting for our workday to end, waiting for the next moment of excitement. While waiting, we focus our thoughts and our goals come into full view.
In artist Guinevere Reilly's incredible piece, a perched photographer lies in wait to take the perfect photo. The subject of the photo, a rare and mythical creature that is the manifestation of childhood innocence. A single moment of success is captured while surrounded in the stillness of Ma; just as the sun rises and the potential of a new day dawns.
Complimentary Silence - @Ghoulkiss
Rainy days serve as an oppertunity to watch active change happen around us. Every droplet that passes through the sky falls to the ground and paints the world. For some, it's days like these that serve as the perfect excuse to read a book and enjoy the moment.
Artist Ghoulkiss recalls such rainy days in her submission. The pastel coloration, patterned juxtaposition between the hearted quilt and streaks of rain, and all around calm nature of the piece come together to create an upbeat scene.
All Together - Michael Brooks Chandler
There is no such thing as an "end" when it comes to nature. As Autumn gives way to Winter, Winter melts into Spring, Spring heats into Summer, and Summer falls into Autumn, the ever changing state of nature provides a beautiful, never ending rhythm. In this eternal cycle, one can find themselves observing the change in their own life as seasons provide the canvas for opportunity, triumph, relaxation, and determination.
On a springtime walk in his San Diego neighborhood, Michael Chandler snapped a few photos of the plants that grew around him. His whimsical additions formatted in a tetraptych introduce us to a tribe of peaceful creatures who live among the plants. The lives of these creatures consist of 90% rest and relaxation and 10% fun and games.
Heat - RakuGaki Otoko
Creating a piece that has both literal and metaphorical "Ma," artist Rakugaki Otoko depicts the all too familiar feeling that one gets when warm sunlight hits you at just the right time.
A character from Raku's ongoing comic series, Neme takes a catnap in a room flooded with the rays of the setting sun. While the framing of this work contains plenty of negative space, note the incredible level of detail in the rendering of the light which shines through the window and hits the wall.
Day In - Chaz Bottoms
For animator Chaz Bottoms, a rainy Saturday is a blessing and a curse. Even though the rain can detour plans, it also presents the opportunity to relax, lay down, and decompress.
He states that, "In times like these, you may not be doing anything, but you are actually doing everything necessary for your health when you take a moment, listen to the rain, and just breathe."
Poolside Leisure - Myra Rose
For Myra Rose, Ma was always hard to find. Life constantly going at full speed left little to no time to be in the moment and enjoy the ride. While down time was rare, it was moments of free time during vacations that served as the best source of Ma for Rose.
Rose's gallery submission, rendered in her vibrant style depicts one of those vacation moments. Lounging by the pool and watching the sun dip below the desert mountains, all while the fluorescent blue glow of the pool magically illuminates the scene.

Paul Auster's new novel, 4321, is as big as his ego – review
Over the past decade, the game of Paul Auster bingo has become dispiritingly easy to play. In the 69-year-old American's most recent novels, wild coincidences happen, people disappear from their own lives, melancholy writers contemplate chance and consequence while writing the very book that you hold in your hands. Auster, it seems, is unable to escape his own shtick.
He started promisingly, with the stark novellas of The New York Trilogy (1987) which did Dashiell Hammett by way of Roland Barthes, and The Music of Chance (1990), a poker-themed picaresque, influenced by Beckett. By the mid-2000s, though, every year or two brought another slim volume whose protagonist – called Blank, or Fogg, or...

7 amazing products for a 7 minute makeup look!/
Giving yourself 7 minutes to do your makeup every morning may seem impossible, but with these 7 particular products, it is definitely not! These 7 products make it easy to achieve a natural everyday look. Sometimes choosing to add some makeup in the morning just doesn't happen (especially if your a mom!) but when you can figure out the fastest way it makes it that much better!
1.Makeup For Ever HD foundation
4.Loreal voluminous mascara in blackest black
6.Dusty Rose lipliner from Sally beauty
7.Revlon lipgloss in super natural
First I moisturize and prime always! This I usually incorporate right when I wake up!
I splash my face with cold water in the morning to close my pores(and wake me up, after turning on my pot of coffee) brush my teeth, then moisturize and prime before I even leave the washroom! You can keep these products in your washroom so you never forget to apply them!
1. I start with *Makeup Forever foundation all over my face. Always using my foundation brush. I don't add any to my neck, just slightly past my jawline.
2. Then I add *Nars Creamy concealer(in custard) under my eyes, in between my eyebrows and slightly overtop, down my nose, under my nose, under my bottom lip and a line above my jawline. Using my foundation brush again, I blend the concealer in only the spots I added it.
3. Then I add my favourite mascara by *Loreal Voluminous in blackest black. From the root up. At least 3 coats.
4. Then I fill in my brows with THE BEST (twist up<-- so key!)brow pencil by *Anastasia Beverly Hills brow wiz(in caramel) I must say, my brows always took a backseat when deciding what I had time to do each morning, but whatever you do, don't skip this step! I have realized and learned that brows truly make a difference in your finished makeup look! (Especially if you wear glasses) Fill them in the best you can, and remember less is more! You never want to make your eyebrows too dark!(This will make you look older!) If you are blonde- 2 shades darker, and if you are brunette- 2 shades lighter! I highly suggest getting your brows threaded from time to time(and tinted is always helpful too), to give them the proper shape for your face.
5. Then using my *E.L.F(eyes, lips,face) bronzer brush I add my *Mac cosmetics bronzer(in give me sun) to the hollows of my cheeks, temples and forehead. And while smiling, finish with the apples of my cheeks, and then whatever is left on the brush I bronze my neck and jawline. If you want to be brave and add a little bit to your nose, going back in with your foundation brush and blending down the bridge of your nose once more and on the sides of your nose! A 7 minute makeup routine doesn't really leave you much time to contour, so doing this little step with give you a very natural contoured nose!
6. Then I line my lips with my favourite natural colour lipliner from *Sally Beauty(in dusty rose)
7. Then blending it with MY FAVOURITE lipgloss by *Revlon super lustrous lipgloss(in super natural) I usually do 2 coats of lipgloss!
And Wullllla!! A fresh natural face you can take on any type of day with!
If you have a few minutes throughout the day I always suggest touching up your lips, as you tend to eat, talk and it just naturally will come off after the first application. Keeping colour in your lips brings colour to your face which is always something I (we all) tend to need!
I've also always been a concealer girl! It makes a huge difference in giving you nice brightness under your eye to help you not look as tired as you may be feeling that day! So if you want to refresh anything else throughout the day I would suggest adding a dab or two more of concealer as well!
If you already have products that do the same thing then use those, but I highly recommend every product listed above! I have tried a lot of different ones and find each of these products are the best when not wanting to spend all the time in the world on your makeup routine! You only need 2 brushes(which will change your life)and besides having to sharpen the lipliner pencil every few days, these specific products all make it quick and easy to help you look like you spent a lot more time then you actually did!
Let me know if you have any other products you find are time efficient when getting ready in the morning! When you look your best(even if it only took you seven minutes) it's a lot easier to feel your best!
Make the start to your week a quick and fresh one to set the mood for the rest of it!!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Project Launch Management & Communications
With more than 20 years experience in the field of communication, Carole started practicing her profession with an eclectic approach; first by working for large multinational corporations specialized in very cutting-edge fields, such as microelectronics, then in the Event industry for cultural establishments, such as the Cannes Film Festival, in which she has been involved every year for the past 27 years. Such versatility as well as her personal interests for public health induced her in 2002 to join the team at the FDI, an international organisation specialized in oral health. First, Carole worked in developing scientific programmes and promoting congresses, and then she became responsible for communications with the countries and member associations of the organisation. In 2011, she got involved in the fight against Noma - a neglected and preventable disease that affects severely undernourished children – by working for Winds of Hope, the Bertrand Piccard humanitarian Foundation where she was in charge of communications and involved in the management of projects during three years.
Through her personal interests, Carole has been and still is involved with many NGOs which has given her a vast knowledge of the administrative authorities, the civil society and institutional stakeholders to carry out international projects.

Some Early Lines
LNWR in South Wales
Nantybwch on the Abergavenny to Merthyr 'Heads of the Valleys' line on 19th August 1950 showing (left) a train arriving from Newport and Tredegar and (right) a train for Abergavenny, both behind the then standard motive power: LNWR 0-6-2 cola tanks. Trains from Newport terminated here and the locomotives for the branch were shedded at Tredegar. – P.B.Whitehouse
South Wales plus its coal were magnets which attracted the LNWR very strongly but the problem (with the GWR and the South Wales independents already ensconced) was how to get there. The company had two main aims, the first to get into Newport and Swansea, the other, black gold. In the event this was achieved by the construction of the long Central Wales line from Craven Arms on the Shrewsbury to Hereford route, under the Sugar Loaf to Swansea and, by the Heads of the Valleys route from Abergavenny through Brynmawr to Merthyr. There was a change for Newport at the isolated Nantybwch Junction, trains ran down via Tredegar. Today it is virtually all gone, with only the Central Wales line open with a desultory passenger service. It was LNW and GWR joint from Llandovery to Llandilo.
A shot from the footplate of a Fowler 2-6-4 tank on the evening train to Craven Arms approaching Sugar Loaf from Llandovery. – P.B.Whitehouse
A train from Newport and Tredegar about to enter Nantybwch on 19th August 1950 behind LNWR Webb 0-6-2 coal tank No.58933. This is a Saturday afternoon strengthened set of four coaches making a heavy load for this small engine up the gradients to the valley head. The leading vehicle is an old LNWR eliptical roofed non-corridor dating back to the 1890s. By the look of the peeling paint it had been used on miners' trains, which did not provide the acme of comfort.
A Bescot (3A) shedded LNWR Super d 0-8-0 No.49064 a long way from home in Nantybwch on 19th August 1950. Note the tender cab for adverse weather conditions. The train is an afternoon working from Merthyr to Abergavenny Junction whilst in the branch platform to the left is the connection from Newport behind Webb 0-6-2 coal tank No.58933. The first coach is an ex-Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway vehicle. – P.B.Whitehouse
Abergavenny Junction on 8th September 1952. Webb 0-6-2 coal tank No.58888, one of the last two to be steamed, shunts prior to moving up the line to Nantybwch and Brynmawr. At that date a further eight other coal tanks were 'stored' awaiting despatch to Crewe for scrapping. – P.M.Alexander

Books & Bees: Hope and Survival in War-Torn Syria
Hosted by journalist and broadcaster Caroline Frost
Christy Lefteri, bestselling author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo, and BBC World Affairs correspondent Mike Thomson discuss the triumph of the human spirit in the most devastating of circumstances.
Lefteri, the child of Cypriot refugees, drew on her own experience as a volunteer at a refugee centre in Athens to write her debut novel, which follows beekeeper Nuri and his wife Afra, as they flee bombed-out Aleppo for an uncertain future in Britain.
In Syria's Secret Library, Thomson tells the extraordinary true story of how the people of a besieged Syrian town found hope and inspiration in a secret underground library, risking their lives to save books from destruction and to bring hope to a fractured society.

When she is ovulating, her body is in recreation (reproductive) mode so she may find it difficult to come up with new ideas (create something new, begin a new project, nurture something into existence) so she should use that time to color, edit, ink, etc. During that Satiahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4218211723222427302.post-11670517545888329012012-12-14T09:30:53.587+00:002012-12-14T09:30:53.587+00:00It's the same here.

The USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services) on 17 January decided to introduce the International Entrepreneurs Rule, which will allow foreign nationals to apply for 'parole status' to set up fledgling startups in the United States and reside there.
Published by USCIS to the Federal Registrar, eligible for this status till now have been people who sought a visa to work for charitable causes. CNN said that from 17 July, this will also be provided to entrepreneurs who satisfy certain criteria. It is being touted as an alternative to a visa for startups.
According to the new rules, entrepreneurs floating new companies, which are not over five years old, should demonstrate a strong possibility of brisk growth and generating jobs through government grants of minimum $100,000 or at least $250,000 funding from an accredited investor. In addition, the investors should be able to operate lawfully in the US and its founders need to have a stake of at least 10 percent in the enterprise when they apply.
The status is applicable for two and half years and an opportunity maybe provided for the applicants to renew it for another two and half years. Applicants must note that if their company is perceived as not helping the American economy, their status can be annulled.
If you are looking to migrate to the US, contact Y-Axis, India's premier immigration consultancy firm, to apply for a visa from one of its several offices located all over the country.

Even in the face of a rising tide of anti-immigration feeling in Germany that threatens her party's continued rule, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has actually worked out a deal with the legislative partners of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) to attract even more foreigners into the country.
In Germany, as in other multi-party parliamentary systems, it is rare for one political party to hold enough seats to govern without seeking a coalition with other parties. Merkel's CDU works with the Bavarian CSU and the center-left SPD, and she was able to come to an agreement with them to import more immigrants into Germany.
The reason given for this new policy is to alleviate Germany's worker shortage.
Merkel's pro-immigration policy, however, is opposed by the Alternative for Germany (AfD), which has risen to become the party with the second-highest number of seats in the Bundestag, now holding more than 90 seats. Opposition to the increased number of immigrants coming from outside the European Union (EU), mostly from Middle Eastern countries, has led to speculation that Merkel's coalition may eventually lose control, mainly over this issue.
AfD leader Alexander Gauland accused the government of mixing policies on immigration with policies on how to deal with those seeking asylum. He argued that the new policy has only "greatly expanded" the ability of the asylum seekers to avoid expulsion.
The deal provides that foreigners without residency permits who are seeking asylum to stay in the country may now get to stay if they are employed and can demonstrate that they have assimilated into German society. In addition, those from outside the EU can immigrate to take jobs if they can speak German.
However, these job-seekers would be forbidden from taking advantage of Germany's generous social welfare system.
Hubertus Heil, the German employment minister, defended the new policy as a "pragmatic solution that reflects reality," adding that he did not want to be "sending the wrong people back." Germany's economy is expanding, and the German Economic Institute in Cologne claims that over 300,000 jobs have gone unfilled in September.
What has caused the shortage of available workers?
More than anything else, the Germans, like most Europeans, are having few children. Abortion is widely used as a means of birth control, and the population is rapidly ageing. In contrast, the immigrant population is growing not only through the influx of new immigrants, but also because the mostly Muslim immigrants have more children than native Germans. If this trend continues, the population of Germany will no longer be ethnically German, but rather Middle Eastern and Muslim. The social consequences of this can be enormous.
Germany has taken in 1.6 million migrants since 2014. Finding a solution to this migration crisis is necessary to the survival of the EU, Merkel recently told the German Parliament. "Europe faces many challenges, but that of migration could become the make-or-break one for the EU," Merkel said. She added that Germany and other EU nations should be "guided by values and believe in multilateralism, not unilateralism."
In contrast, some of the nations in eastern Europe, such as Poland and Hungary, see the solution as maintaining their separate national identities, rather than in the survival of the "multilateralism" held up as a "value" by the globalist Merkel.
At some point, Europeans, not just Germans, are going to have to decide which is more important — having more workers to do menial jobs, or their survival as separate nations having distinct cultural and ethnic identities. Many Germans have already decided that they want to remain German, and Merkel's continued insistence on bringing in more "workers" who are largely antagonistic to the existing German culture will lead them to put someone else in power who will put a stop to this path to national suicide.
Certainly, "Germany" will continue to exist in some form, either as an administrative unit of the EU, or as a place on the map, but it will be a far different Germany than has existed since the Middle Ages.
Americans, on the other hand, should understand that, with the incessant Taliban-like attacks upon our culture, the nation's founding, and its Founders, we are only a generation or so behind the Germans.

Elon Musk SpaceX Tesla ThailandAmerican space entrepreneur Elon Musk tweeted that he was in Thailand on Tuesday with a prototype mini-sub, at the flooded cave where five members of a youth football team remained trapped. There is no indication so far that Thai rescuers plan to use Musk's prototype. Leaving here in case it may be useful in the future." On Instagram, he published video of a flooded cave, with rescuers. which is developing tunneling systems for transport projects. "Mini-sub is ready if needed. The person inside need not swim or know how to use oxygen bottles. Congratulations to an outstanding rescue team! Simulating maneuvering through a narrow passage pic.twitter.com/2z01Ut3vxJ — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 9, 2018 By Monday night, elite divers had managed to bring out eight members of the football team which included 12 boys and their 25-year-old coach. The footballers still awaiting rescue are about two kilometers further in, at a point very difficult to access.

Leaving here in case it may be useful in the future. pic.twitter.com/EHNh8ydaTT — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 9, 2018 Cave Three is about two kilometers (1.2 miles) from the entrance of the cave network and is the base for Thai rescuers. He called it "basically a tiny, kid-size submarine using the liquid oxygen transfer tube of (a) Falcon rocket as hull." pic.twitter.com/D1umiFDr1t — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 8, 2018 Musk said it was light enough to be carried by two divers, robust, and small enough to get through narrow gaps. Great news that they made it out safely. After garnering headlines with initial ideas of installing a giant air tube inside the cave complex and using his firm's penetrating radar to dig holes to reach the boys, Musk offered his idea for the mini-sub. The Thai rescue effort has been assisted by experts from around the world, and the death of a former Thai Navy SEAL diver who ran out of oxygen in the cave on Friday underscored the dangers of the mission.

She stood in the distance, unaware just how lovingly I was staring at her. She slowly glided past me, as gently as the delicate breeze that swayed the few thin strands of hair on her head. The sound of uneasy, imbalanced footsteps echoed in the room, as she lowered herself onto a wooden chair that moaned as she collapsed into it. Little beads of sweat trickled down her once beautiful dusky skin, now botched with black patches, remainders and reminders of the ordeals she had undertaken in the past few months. A look of intense concentration spread itself across her face, as she tried to focus her attentions to the cup of hot tea that lay on the table in front of her.
She reached out ever so slowly, trying to stop it from shivering as her hand clasped at the winter air, trying to grab the handle of the teacup. Her fingers felt around it's scathing surface, trying to find the strength to lift it to her parched lips. Them a moment of calm, its silence broken only by her heavy breathing, and the gentle clanging of the teacup against the glass saucer. She sighed, as she heaved the cup upwards, the cancer drugs inside her body disrupting her sense of balance and normalcy. The hot tea spilled across the table for a second, but she only chuckled at her clumsiness.
Her hands still trembled, like a candle flame nearing the end of its existence, but that only seemed to make her even more determined. Her eyes drifted in and out of a world only she could understand, trying to speak to a mind so thoroughly drained that it wished for nothing but peace and tranquility. The morphine which dulled her unbearable pain from the chemotherapy, had already sapped the boundless energy that danced in her smiles. Yet she fought hard to keep awake, to keep trying, wanting to do one of the very few things she was allowed to do without feeling handicapped. The strain showed clearly on her face, as the cup of tea came ever so close to her lips. The smell of tea wafted close to her, tantalizing her, as the cup came even closer. Her lips, full of cracked lines running like fissures across the drought stricken plains, anticipated the warm liquid that would touch them, free them from their fate. She closed her eyes as the tea touched her lips, savoring the beauty of her thirst being quenched. She sipped it in utter ecstasy, the most beautiful smile stretching itself across her face. The chair groaned once more and so did she, as she gathered all her strength to stand back up, her slow foot steps now made their way towards me. She smiled once more and looked at me, I smiled back. 'I love you son' she whispered, before the echoes of her footsteps faded away.

The Love That Let Us Share Our Name
Thomas Whitley
If I were a better Presbyterian I would say that me getting a PhD where I basically just studied names and naming was predestined. After all, by the time I was 18 I was on my third last name.
I knew the third time would be the charm because I chose it. My first last name had been given to me when I was born, the second when I was adopted. But the third was mine to choose.
Though it wasn't really a choice. There were no competing options. There was no spray of hats on the table in front of me. There was no suspense. I had been waiting for years to make legal what had long been real. I was my father's son and I would have the name to match.
It has been 6 months since my dad died unexpectedly. I've thought a lot about what he taught me about style, decency, and love - I'm sure I'll write about these in the future. But what I cannot shake - what I do not want to shake - is the name we shared and what that name represents.
You see, my dad had already raised a son when he decided taking on me and my sister (5 and 7) was worth it to spend the rest of his life with my mother. He chose us and he loved us in a way I can only hope other dads love their children. He and my mom taught us that biology does not a family make; for that you need love.
This is the lens through which I have always heard the closing lines of The Avett Brothers' "Murder in the City."
Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name
Blood is thick. Love is thicker still.

Photographer Collaborations: The LeCroix September 24 2012, 0 Comments
Caroline Fontenot - Texas-->Atlanta, GA
Twitter @backdownsouth
"The photo was taken on the steps in front of our house in between rainstorms. I'm sitting in a puddle."
We first met Caroline on an interview around the middle of 2011. We told her our grande vision of creating a men's bow tie line, filling an immediate need in the Collegiate market, and setting out to make a fine product that we were proud to wear. We would formally introduce her blog, Back Down South, to you our reader, but chances are you are already reading her yourself.
While she is best known in the blog world for her street style on Back Down South, Caroline spends much of her time traveling to shoot "Weddings and lifestyle sessions with awesome people," which is precisely how she got her start in photography."I went to University of North Texas with every intention of studying Photojournalism...and then, as a pretty lazy freshman, I switched majors to Rec. For about three years, I really thought I'd use that degree and do rec programming for non-profits. All the while, I continued pursuing my love of photography as an eager amateur. During my senior internship, a friend asked if I'd shoot her wedding, and I said yes. I left the wedding, called my fiance, and said "Yeah...I want to do photography." By the time I got my diploma, I'd already launched a website and made plans to become a full time photographer."
