laser mole removal
-One or many moles removed at the one time
-Ultimate precision of erbium laser means virtually scarless removal
Using the latest Laser Mole Removal technology, Dr Beulink can remove moles of any size with amazing accuracy. So if you re looking for Mole Removal Auckland, or Mole Removal NZ, read on and learn more about Dr Beulink s mole removal service. Available in Auckland by appointment.
Developed in the mid to late 1990 s, the Erbium laser technology was the ultimate development of the ablative resurfacing laser systems, and has remained a gold standard for the removal of wrinkles, moles, skin cysts, lumps and bumps, and for facial skin rejuvenation ever since. Dr Beulink has been using these systems since 1998, to remove benign (non cancerous, cosmetic) moles. The results are amazing, with over 95% leaving no scar, with the remaining 5% being close to or virtually scarless. The procedure is very quick and is done under a small amount of local anaesthetic. Multiple moles can be treated at the same appointment. This has been a quantum leap forwards from the traditional method of surgical excision with it s stitches, the uncomfortable removal of these several days later, and the subsequent scar formation from cutting. With Erbium laser mole removal, aftercare is kept extremely simple: sticky plaster and ointment!
The Erbium:YAG laser is an infra-red resurfacing laser used for precise skin resurfacing. The key difference to other lasers, is the lack of heat it produces, which sets it apart from the first generation resurfacing lasers known as ultra-pulsed CO2 lasers which can cause moderate uncontrolled burning. Similarly, the Erbium laser has advantages over the radio-frequency or electrosurgical devices (eg Surgitron). Although these types of devices are better than simple cauterisation (burning), they too create moderate amounts of heat, which is a disadvantage when attempting scarless skin or mole removal. (Note: the Surgitron is often marketed by other clinics as a Surgitron Laser , but is absolutely not a laser and has disadvantages as explained )
Laser skin ablation (removal) works by the laser light being absorbed by the water in your skin cells. This absorbed energy in turn causes the instantaneous vaporisation of the targeted cells. As the laser light passes over the skin, a mere 30 millionth of an inch of tissue is removed at a time. This incredible control allows the doctor to precisely sculpture the mole away.
The Erbium laser is also ideal for scarless removal of milia, cholesterol deposits around eyes, and sun spots etc.
Before erbium laser removal 3 months after laser removal
Even a mole this close to the eye (on the very edge of the lid and within the lashes) can be safely and effectively removed by precision lasering. Click on this You-Tube link to see.http://youtu.be/bQ7SXjDRHCA
Dr Beulink s Personal Comments Erbium Laser Mole Removal
I have been performing nonsurgical mole removal since 1992.
From 1992-1998 I used the Surgitron radiofrequency device, which isn t too bad if used cautiously and dilligently. It certainly had big advantages over surgery, cauterisation (heat/burn removal) and liquid nitrogen (freezing removal), but still had it s limitations. This is because the Surgitron vapourises skin cells but still does it with the addition of moderate heat. It is this heat that causes unwanted collateral damage and the destruction of the skin s natural pigment cells (melanocytes).This means scarring may be minimised but is still present, and often leaves at best, white marks or worse, raised scarring.
In 1998 I began Erbium laser resurfacing and quickly realised the huge advantages and benefits this laser system had for removing moles. It s precision, absolute control, and lack of heat damage made it a quantum leap forwards in skin and mole ablation and I have been exclusively removing moles with the Erbium laser ever since.
This procedure is unbelievably simple. People are constantly telling me how impressed they are with the treatment; the ease with which the mole is removed, the negligible pain or discomfort, and the rapid removal of the mole. I would not be able to count the number of times someone has looked into the mirror immediately after the laser removal and exclaimed Oh my God, it s gone!
Immediately before the mole is removed, a very small amount of local anaesthetic is injected around or under the mole. This is done with a very fine needle (smaller than a babies vaccination needle) and although local anaesthetic stings before it goes numb, any discomfort from this is fleeting and relatively minor. Applying ice to the area first can virtually make this painless. The local anaesthetic will instantly numb the mole and the lasering then proceeds with absolutely no pain or discomfort what so ever.
This treatment is particularly suited to the removal of benign (cosmetic) type moles. It can be used for certain cancerous and pre-cancerous moles and skin lesions. It can not be used for the removal of malignant melanomas.
The ideal benign mole for laser mole removal is a raised, skin coloured mole with no hairs growing from it. Darkly pigmented, flat moles that have hair are the least ideal. This is because they tend to have deeper roots. These types of moles can still be lasered, often with a high degree of success and patient satisfaction. However, there is a higher chance of partial or full recurrence that may need a second lasering at a later date. This is especially apparent in younger patients. For hairy moles, it is best to allow the hairs to grow a bit before laser removal (do not pluck them). This helps at the time of lasering to track down the roots.
This is a fantastic way to remove facial moles due to the excellent cosmetic result. I believe laser should be the only way to remove moles that are in surgically difficult areas. such as close to the eyes or lips etc. In areas such as these, surgical cutting and subsequent scar formation can have poor cosmetic outcomes due to the pulling and distortional effects the tissue removal and scar will have on these important structures. With the laser, over the years I have removed many moles and skin tags from the upper and lower eye lids (including the lash line), from noses and from edges of the lip. No distortion will occur with the laser as only the mole is removed, with no surrounding or underlying tissue damage, and scar formation is absolutely minimised or nonexistent. The high precision of the laser mole removal allows me to remove moles with pinpoint accuracy, often in places where no one else will dare to go.
Facial mole removals heal twice as fast as body moles (facial wounds always heal faster than body wounds). The end result for laser body moles is thus never quite as good as that for the face.
Due to the ease and speed of removal, it can be an effective way to remove many moles at the one time.
After care is relatively straight forwards. We give the patient some ointment to apply on a daily basis to the lasered mole and usually a sticky plaster is applied for the first day and then just at night for several days. For facial moles, it will take approximately 5-7 days to heal up. For body moles it takes a little longer at 10-16 days. Healing is very similar to that of a graze: at first it is a bit raw and remains a bit damp, then after about a week it is healed over but looks a bit pink, and then over the following months the pinkness fades away. Makeup can be usually be applied over the lasered mole area after about a week. It is important not to get the lasered mole area sunburnt for the first 3 months after removing.
Please note: This treatment is only available at our Auckland clinic.

Secret Service agents face investigation over conduct while protecting Trump grandchild #politics, #secret #service #agents #face #investigation #over #conduct #while #protecting #trump #grandchild, #cnnpolitics.com
Secret Service agents face investigation over conduct while protecting Trump grandchild
(CNN) Two Secret Service agents are facing an internal investigation over their alleged conduct last week while they protected a grandchild of President Donald Trump, people familiar with the matter tell CNN.
The actions of the two agents, who are assigned to the protective detail for the children of Donald Trump Jr. are being reviewed by the internal affairs division of the Secret Service. The questions involve photographs the agents may have been taken of one of the children while being driven around New York on Sunday.
The agents allegedly took a picture of a child sleeping in the Secret Service vehicle, according to people familiar with the matter. Neither of the boy's parents, Donald Trump Jr. and his wife, Vanessa, were present at the time, but after learning about it, they voiced concern and raised questions with the agents' supervisors.
The two agents were questioned on Monday, CNN has learned, and the matter is being reviewed internally by the Secret Service.
Catherine Milhoan, a spokeswoman for the Secret Service, cautioned against drawing any "conclusions that may grossly mischaracterize the matter."
"The U.S. Secret Service is aware of a matter involving two of our agents and one of our protectees," Milhoan said in a statement to CNN. "Our Office of Professional Responsibility will always thoroughly review a matter to determine the facts and to ensure proper, long-standing protocols and procedures are followed."
Donald Trump Jr. the president's oldest son, has five children, all of whom receive Secret Service protection, as do most of the family's children and grandchildren.
Trump Jr. did not respond to requests for comment.
Life Insurance: Cash Value & Surrender #life #insurance #face #value
Cash Value of Life Insurance Policy
If you are considering permanent life insurance – such as whole life, universal life, or variable life insurance – you probably know that these types of policies provide both death benefits and cash value accumulation. You can use the cash value for many different needs, including your living expenses in retirement.
Ways to Use Life Insurance Cash Value
- Pay your policy premium
- Borrow from the cash value to pay large expenses, at a lower rate than banks offer
- Structure an investment portfolio that maintains and accumulates wealth
- Use the cash value for expenses in retirement
Cash Value Life Insurance Definition
Cash value life insurance is a type of permanent insurance policy consisting of a "death benefit," which is a standard part of all life insurance policies, as well as a cash value accumulation feature. Whole life, universal life, and variable life insurance are the three primary types of cash value life insurance.
When you pay your premium, a portion of that payment is allocated towards the cash value. The life insurance company invests the money into a conservative-yield form of investment. The cash value grows over time as you continue to pay your premium and through the interest you earn.
The life insurance cash value is the amount of money you have built up through your premium and investment interest for the length of time you have owned the policy.
How Does Cash Value Life Insurance Work?
When you pay your insurance premium for a permanent life insurance policy, the money is generally allocated in three portions:
- Payment for the face value of the insurance policy or death benefits, which your beneficiary or beneficiaries will receive after you pass away
- Payment for the insurer's cost for administering the policy
- Payment toward the cash value, which is subsequently invested by the life insurance company
The cash value builds from a combination of each premium payment you make and the interest earned from the investments made by the life insurance company.
The cash value generally grows slowly in the first few years of the policy then experiences more significant growth later. The cash value accumulation then slows again as the policy holder ages and more of the premium is applied to the death benefits.
Life Insurance Cash Value Growth
The life insurance cash value growth is dependent on both the premium and how well the life insurance company's investments perform. Some forms of permanent life insurance policies offer a guaranteed minimum rate of return. You'll benefit when the investments perform well; you earn a higher return on the investments, and can be protected if the policy has a guaranteed rate of interest when economic times are slower. Additionally, some insurance companies will also pay a dividend if fewer life insurance policies are paid out in a given year.
The rate of return on the investments made by any life insurance company varies for a variety of reasons:
- Some investment portfolios perform better than others
- The strength of the investment market fluctuates
- The account managers handling the investment portfolios have varying rates of success
The overall return rate of investment on a policy that has been in place long term can be 4.97% or higher on an annual average for the life of the policy. When you are comparing life insurance companies and policies, be sure to work with a knowledgeable independent agent who can assess how well various permanent life insurance companies have performed.
Life Insurance Cash Value Tax
You might be wondering if and when you have to pay income tax on the cash value portion of your policy. This is how the tax situation works.
- Whole life non-participating policy and universal life insurance policy: As long as cash value continues to grow in an active policy, the cash value is not taxable until one of the following occurs:
- You cancel or "surrender" the policy
- You transfer the life insurance policy, such as when you assign or sell the policy
- The policy is no longer considered a life insurance contract by the IRS
- Participating whole life policy: The same applies to these policies with above described conditions, but there is a slight difference when it comes to the payment of the dividends on a "participating" whole life insurance policy. In a participating whole life policy, dividends are paid out to the policy holder and are considered to be a "return of premium." The policy holder has four choices to choose from in how to use the dividends:
- Buy more coverage
- Use the dividends to reduce the future amount of your premiums
- Reinvest the dividends
- Receive the dividends in cash
These dividends are not taxable until or unless the dividends you receive exceed the total amount of premiums paid on your particular policy. Any dividends you receive that exceed the total amount of premiums paid on your policy are considered taxable. The excess dividends will be taxed regardless of how you use them.
Cash Value vs. Surrender Value
The cash value and the cash surrender value are inherently the same. The difference between the cash and the surrender value is that if you surrender your policy (for example, if you choose to cancel and cash out the life insurance policy), you will receive the cash value that has accumulated less any applicable surrender charges; these charges are pre-determined by the life insurance company, and are stipulated in your policy contract.
Note that there is a "surrender period," which is the period of time that a policyholder must wait before it is possible to receive the cash value of the policy upon canceling. If the policyholder cancels the policy before the end of the surrender period, it is not likely the policyholder will receive any amount of the cash value because these costs are incurred by the insurance company to set up the policy.
Borrowing Against Your Life Insurance Cash Value
After the surrender period ends, you can typically take out a loan against a portion of the available cash value. Note that you should only do so for an express purpose, and that there are several things to consider:
- This loan can be taken out without having to pay taxes on it
- You are not required to repay this loan back to the insurance company
- The insurance company will charge the interest rate on the outstanding loan
- Both the interest the company is charging for the loan and the amount of cash value you borrowed will be deducted off the death benefits if you die while the policy is still in force, unless you have repaid the loan
A life insurance cash value policy can help you build up a substantial savings over time and can be especially advantageous if you aren't very investment savvy or have difficulty saving money for your retirement.
There are many different versions of these types of policies and they vary in how they are structured. You are best advised to contact a local independent agent in the Trusted Choice network who can provide unbiased information about cash value life insurance policies versus term life insurance policies. One of these agents, right in your area, can help to evaluate your financial needs and goals and answer your questions about various life insurance options.
Find an agent today to learn more about permanent life insurance cash value policies and get the coverage you need.

Now, here's to hoping that I will get around to posting some more recently filled calligraphy orders!
...Brown & Kraft Envelopes...
It's been too long since I have shared some of my work with you. These envelopes were actually addressed last summer for Miss Argyle of weddingbee. She shared them here but I thought I would share them as well. The bride chose a rich chocolate brown outer envelope and white ink in my Pretty Perfect style made for a striking presentation. The inner envelope was a kraft brown envelope adorned with a chocolate ink. Both envelopes complimented each other quite beautifully!

Sawston: An update

The hopes of Cambridge City Football Club relocating to a new stadium site in Sawston have received a boost with news that a new planning application could be heard again in the near future.
The Lilywhites were dealt a blow in February when their previous planning permission was quashed following a ruling that South Cambridgeshire District Council had not given clear reasoning to override the recommendation to refuse the original application.
But City now hope to re-submit their application and this could be heard by the planning committee of South Cambridgeshire District Council within the next few months.
The site to the north of the village of Sawston will see a new stadium for City plus another pitch with a 4G artificial surface as well as land which will be donated back to the parish council. Re-submitting the application will form the main part of the process, but the club will also need to repeat some of the previous processes behind their successful application which was given the green light in 2014. These include the possibility of another public consultation with local residents as well as a meeting with the parish council.
City Chairman Kevin Satchell said Since the setback in February we have worked hard to speak to all relevant parties so that we can get the process back on track. Clearly we have a long way to go still, but I am pleased that our new application is likely to be heard in the coming months.
Satchell also said that the club was looking forward to engaging with the local community again at a new public consultation. He said We have had some real positive feedback from the local community just recently with many disappointed at the latest planning setback. We have stated all along that what we are offering is more than just a football club and there is a growing feeling now of the benefit the development will bring to the local area. We certainly want the local community to feel part of this as much as our own supporters and that will be one of the many messages that we will be looking to get across during the consultation process.

Mango + Chickpea Salad
Emma Bates
This is a great dish to serve as a side or as a meal in itself. It's pretty simple and quick to make so I hope you enjoy it.

- 1 tin chickpeas, 3 tbsp of paprika, coconut oil
- 5 big handfuls of spinach
- 1 little gem letture
- Handful of sunflower seeds + sesame seeds
- 1 avocado, chopped

- Drizzle of maple syrup/honey
How to make:
1. In a frying pan heat the coconut oil, add your pre-cooked chickpeas and then add the paprika seasoning.
2. Sizzle away until the chickpeas look a little crispy on the outside so they have a crunch when you bite them. Take them off the heat and leave to cool while you prep the rest.
3. Chop your mango, little gem lettuce and avocado.
4. Mix it all together in a big bowl and then add the chickpeas and sprinkle the seeds on top.
5. Dress!

"Once you understand yourself, you can stop fighting your natural tendencies and plan for them instead."
I am fascinated by personality studies and birth order. Reading People is all about that. While most books just focus on one type of personality test or one idea of birth order traits, Anne Bogel explores many different personality tests in Reading People. If you've ever wanted to learn more about why you are how you are and why you do what you do, it would help to find out what kind of personality you have. Rather than pick one set idea of personalities, I would recommend a person start with this book and get an overview of several different tests and then delve deeper into specific tests.
A friend of mine was reading this book and when I looked up more about it, I put it on my to-read list. It was available from the library as an ebook from Overdrive in just a few weeks after I requested it. It was a easy and quick read and I actually would recommend reading the hard copy instead of the ebook as I found myself flipping back and forth comparing different sections and talking to different people about different personality aspects brought up in Reading People.
The author starts out with talking about introverts and extroverts. It's not about shy vs. outgoing, but about how a person gets energized. She then reviews high sensitive people, the five love languages, Myers-Briggs, cognitive function, StrengthsFinder and Enneagram. In addition to reviewing what the personality types are in each style, she explores how it affects marriage, friendship and parenting. I found the parenting aspects most interesting. She also ends the book saying that your personality type is not your destiny, but by knowing what your innate tendencies are, you can focus on sharpening your strengths and working on your weaknesses.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone high school age or older. Parents can gain a unique perspective, as each child is a different person than his or her parents. I learned about more about my highly sensitive child and my child who is very grounded and needs to know what is going to happen. I may end up buying this book for my bookshelf because I think it will help us all work together better as a family if we understand each other's personalities.
Do you know a lot about your personality type? Tell me about it on the blog!

Arthur and Williams (1992: 253) recognized four fabric types for this amphora, all from southern Italy. One of these is the Campanian "Black Sand" fabric, listed separately Almond-rimmed 'waster' sherds from a number of kilns in north Campania have been used as a control for Fabric A (Arthur, 1983: Fig.4, no.2, and Fig.5, nos. 7-8 & 14). All the vessels attributed to this group are thought to derive from north Campania. Much of this area is volcanic, as is the region of the bay of Naples referred to under fabrics B and the Campanian "Black Sand" fabric (Desio, 1973). There can be some variety in the fabric of individual vessels, as perhaps should be expected of products of separate kilns spread over a certain distance, though the quantity of volcanic materials in fabric A nearly always tends to be less than that in fabric B and the Campanian "Black Sand" fabric. Fabrics B and C are very similar in appearance to the Campanian "Black Sand" fabric.
Fabric A Thin-sectioning shows a range of non-plastic inclusions that commonly include frequent grains of subangular quartz, a few fragments of trachytic lava and volcanic glass, potash felspar, a scatter of clinopyroxene, flecks of mica, occasional amphibole, and sometimes cryptocrystalline limestone. Fabric B This fabric has similarities in thin-section to the Campanian "Black Sand" fabric, although it contains fewer grains of augite while possessing more pieces of volcanic rock. It might possibly come from somewhere within the bay of Naples region. Fabric C In thin-section, this fabric appears quite different to fabrics A, B and the Campanian "Black Sand" fabric. The most distinctive inclusions scattered throughout the clay matrix are small fragments of metamorphic rocks, especially quartz-mica-schist. Also present are discrete grains of potash and some plagioclase felspar, flecks of mica, foraminifera limestone, quartzite and subangular quartz grains. The petrology suggests an origin in a region dominated by metamorphic rocks, perhaps Calabria.
Equivalent to: CAM AM 1 of the National Roman Fabric Reference Collection (Tomber & Dore, 1998: 88)

By Robert Mann
As anyone who has seen the 1981 film "Raiders of the Lost Ark" understands, you need not be a historian to know Nazis are bad people. It's right there in one of the movie's early scenes, when Harrison Ford's character, Indiana Jones, leans out from his perch and sees the strutting German soldiers below. "Nazis," he mutters. "I hate these guys."
Anyone familiar with actual history will recall that much of the civilized world fought a world war to rid the planet of Nazis and their homicidal racism.
That seems to elude President-elect Donald Trump and those around him, one of whom, Steve Bannon, was executive chair of Breitbart News, the leading purveyor of "white ethno-nationalism." Bannon, soon to be Trump's chief strategist and on par with the chief of staff, once described his publication as "the platform for the alt-right."
"Alt-right" is an anodyne phrase that sounds like the first step in unfreezing your computer. It's meant to obscure the disgusting beliefs of its adherents. Let's call these creeps the names that fit them best: racists and neo-Nazis.
If you've been reading the news, you have noticed that neo-Nazis are thrilled with Trump's election. One of their ideological cousins, the North Carolina Ku Klux Klan, says it plans a parade to celebrate Trump's victory. Spray-painted swastikas and "Heil, Trump" have appeared across the country on homes and churches. There have been many reported acts of violence or harassment aimed at minorities by self-proclaimed Trump supporters.
David Duke, the prominent Louisiana neo-Nazi, is so delighted about Trump's election he can barely contain his glee. "Make no mistake about it," Duke wrote, "our people have played a HUGE role in electing Trump!"
Then there was a triumphant conclave of neo-Nazis in Washington a few days ago. As reported in The New York Times, an alt-right conference convened in a federal building a few blocks from the White House to exult in Trump's win. Led by Richard B. Spencer, a leading neo-Nazi, the conference featured 11 hours of speeches and panel discussions about the ascendant neo-Nazi movement under a Trump administration.
The Times reporter observed that Spencer "began to tell the audience of more than 200 people, mostly young men, what they had been waiting to hear. He railed against Jews and, with a smile, quoted Nazi propaganda in the original German. America, he said, belonged to white people, whom he called the 'children of the sun,' a race of conquerors and creators who had been marginalized but now, in the era of President-elect Donald J. Trump, were 'awakening to their own identity.'

Poor health stole the vitality from Thomas Obadiah Chishold's young adult life. Born in 1866, Thomas was often ill but had to work various jobs to make ends meet. At age 27, he became a Christian and soon found much solace and peace in the Bible. He entered the ministry but due to his health, was only involved for one year. But as an ordinary man with an unimportant lay position and health issues tackling his energy, he ended up writing 1,200 poems throughout his life. He was specifically encouraged by the faithfulness of God in times of need and sickness. He clung to verses like Lamentations 3:22-23:
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

17 May 2011
The Philippine Airlines Employees' Association (PALEA) lambasted the House Ethics Committee, especially Siquijor Rep. Orlando Fua, Sr., for suspending the hearing on the complaint filed by Philippine Airlines ground attendant Sarah Bonnin-Ocampo against AVE Rep. Eulogio Magsaysay. The hearing was called by the Sub-Committee on Preliminary Inquiry of the House Committee on Ethics and Privileges for the initial review of the complaint but was suspended on a motion by Rep. Fua on the argument that the complainant was forum shopping.
"The old boys' network among congressmen has reared its ugly head today. They may have won the battle but not the war. The fight continues until justice is served our sister Sarah. This is a fight of all frontline service workers who suffer indignities from abusive government officials, arrogant customers and even company management," stated Ginalyn Licayan, head of the PALEA Women's Committee. PALEA argued that the Ombudsman compliant is a separate criminal case while the Ethics case was for Magsaysay's conduct as a congressman.
Women members of PALEA and Partido ng Manggagawa (PM) trooped to the House of Representatives to support Ms. Ocampo's fight against Magsaysay. The hearing today was the next step after the House Committee on Ethics earlier found the complaint sufficient in form and substance. The complaint alleges serious misconduct, abuse of authority and conduct unbecoming of a high-ranking public official against Rep. Magsaysay. At the airport last December 17, Rep. Magsaysay shouted "menopausal bitch" and "bitch" several times to Ocampo after she told him that they do not have to power to change seating arrangements in the business class as per his request.
"It is clear to us that the solons have already agreed to kill the case at the Ethics Committee before they opened the hearing. It is apparent that Mr. Magsaysay's 'media apology' not so long ago was no apology at all. In his statement, Magsaysay justified why he called Sarah a 'menopausal bitch' and a 'bitch' repeatedly," explained PM Secretary General Judy Ann Chan Miranda. How can such an insensitive and arrogant public official serve his constituents well – especially women? Kapag uminit ang ulo niya, he would resort to name-calling? The fight is not yet over, Mr. Magsaysay!"
In Magsaysay's reply to the complaint filed, he justified name-calling Ms. Ocampo a "menopausal bitch" by categorically saying that 'the term menopausal was used without intention to malign Sarah but rather to describe figuratively the temper of complainant – a medically observed behaviour of middle age women.' Use of the term bitch on the other hand was justified as 'a common enough expression not really to slander but rather to express frustration over an unpleasant behaviour of a woman.'
PALEA has also been pushing management to come with a manual that will ensure protection of employees from abusive customers.

Anyway last weekend (2nd) was my birthday. Me and Phil went to London for the day. We looked round the shops, on my hit list were Liberty's, Selfridges and Harrods. Unfortunately we didn't have time to go to Fortnum and Mason so will have to go there next time!
When we arrived we had a well needed coffee and some baked treats (red velvet whoopee pie and Raspberry and White Chocolate cake)
Then we had lunch in China Town...I could easily live of Dim Sum
And got some birthday cupcakes from The Hummingbird Bakery. I choose red velvet and carrot cake.
I had some serious footwear issues though and my feet were totally destroyed after! Trainers will be worn next time no matter how much I look like a tourist!
This weekend was glorious! It was like summer! We spent most of it in the garden. Yesterday we had a picnic in the garden with my Sister, her partner Ryan, my nephew Connor and our best friends Cat and Tyler. A nice chilled out day with a bit of garden Jenga thrown in!
There are so many things on my To Do List at the moment which I need to go through but here are some:
*Sort through all clothes and shoes and take what we don't want to charity.
*Make Taggie Blanket- this is a present for a friends baby
*Sort my business admin for Jessica's Cupcakes
*Make a notice board for the utility room
*Re-stain the garden bench
*Find a small shed/wendy house that I'm going to convert into a large rabbit hutch as I want to get 2 more rescue rabbits
*Set up another raised bed so I can grow some more veg
That is a snippet of my To Do list and it's forever growing!
I've had a cold all weekend and feeling pretty rubbish today so my plan after work is to get home, water the plants then get in my Jammies and read some more of my new book which is amazing

Letter to Prime Minister Tony Blair hand delivered at 10 Downing Street by a Lobby for Cyprus team on 20 July 2006 to mark the 32nd black anniversary of the Turkish invasion. Enclosed with the letter was the latest Lobby newsletter and articles from the Sun and Sunday Times of 1974 and 1977 respectively that document atrocities committed by Turkish troops in its invasion and occupation of Cyprus.
Dear Prime Minister
No doubt you, as well as the Greek Cypriot people, have noted the irony of the current developments concerning Cyprus. On the very day that the Republic of Cyprus is in mourning commemorating the 32nd anniversary of the brutal Turkish invasion of the island, your wife is in Court 24 of the Royal Courts of Justice arguing for the legitimisation of the theft of Greek Cypriot properties by UK subjects following the brutal eviction of the legal owners by Turkish troops in 1974.
Of course these events are also happening against the backdrop of the evacuation of thousands of British citizens from Lebanon to Cyprus, where the legendary hospitality of the Greek Cypriot people awaits our fellow British citizens. Perhaps you have concluded that someone, somewhere, is trying to make a point to you about your treatment of Greek Cypriots. If not then let me try.
During the nine years that Labour has returned to power British foreign policy towards the Republic of Cyprus has achieved the astonishing result of converting almost heavy majority political support in the UK amongst Greek Cypriots towards the Labour party to almost complete opposition to the party. This was clearly demonstrated at the last General Election when a number of excellent Labour MPs lost their seats in constituencies with heavy Greek Cypriot representation. The House of Commons is a less effective body for example without the contributions of
Barbara Roche, Stephen Twigg and Linda Perham.
The reasons for Greek Cypriot dissatisfaction are many and I set out below a selection only.
Despite several manifesto promises nothing has been done to ease the illegal Turkish occupation of the north of Cyprus or the ethnic re-engineering that took place in 1974.
No refugees have been permitted to return home, no Greek Cypriot properties have been returned to the legal owners and no Turkish troops asked to leave the island.
UK policy has been to support the Annan Plan, which as you know was overwhelmingly rejected by Greek Cypriots in April 2004. If you and your ministers had actually read the Plan rather than relied on Foreign Offi ce briefi ngs, it would have been patently obvious why 76% of Greek Cypriots, let alone the President of the Republic, could not support it. Instead your government has seemingly followed a deliberate policy of seeking to punish Greek Cypriots by overwhelmingly supporting Turkish interests on the island. Indeed some commentators have explained the Annan Plan as the US's gift to Turkey in exchange for Turkish support of her policies in Iraq. Have you asked yourself why such a high proportion of Greek Cypriots felt compelled to reject the Annan Plan given our wish for the re-unifi cation of Cyprus?
Nothing has been done to stop the illegal exploitation of Greek Cypriot property in the north of the island by UK based companies and developers. Greek Cypriots have therefore been left with the legal route, which is the only remaining option available to them. This of course makes your wife's acceptance of the Orams' retainer all the more damaging.
The legalities and the moralities of the Cyprus issue are not rocket science Prime Minister. You will know that over 180,000 Greek Cypriots were ethnically cleansed by Turkish troops in 1974. You may not know that thousands of Greek Cypriot women were raped by the advancing troops, over 4,000 civilians were killed and over 1,500 people are still missing, some presumed alive in Turkish prisons. I would urge you to read contemporary reports of the events of 1974. We can provide reports from the British press from this time should you wish but to give you some fl avour I attach extracts from the Sun and the Sunday Times. Given your apparently deep Christian beliefs we cannot understand how these can be reconciled with your acceptance of Greek Cypriot ethnic cleansing.
Accordingly the members of Lobby for Cyprus are demonstrating outside Downing Street today and as the voice of the Greek Cypriot refugees in the UK are sending this letter to you to highlight our concerns.
Yours sincerely
Lobby for Cyprus

The IACP is pleased to announce that Laurie Robinson, former assistant attorney general of the U. S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP) from 2009 to 2012, and now professor of criminology, law and society at George Mason University, has accepted the position of IACP Research Advisory Committee (RAC) co-chair.
The mission and the goal of the RAC is to provide input, advice, and direction to the association, law enforcement practitioners, law enforcement researchers, and the criminal justice system on all aspects of law enforcement policy research and evaluation. The RAC has become an essential and influential committee in recent years, guiding IACP's decision making on urgent policing and justice policy research actions.
The IACP is proud to have such significant leadership at the top of this important committee. Said IACP President Walter A. McNeil, "With Professor Robinson, and the other c0-chair, commissioner Ed Davis, at the helm, the RAC will not only continue to assist the work of IACP but also expand and improve the work we do to support law enforcement and the justice system."
Ms. Robinson previously served as assistant attorney general at the OJP from 1993 to February 2000. During that time, she oversaw the largest increase in federal spending on criminal justice research in the United States' history, and under her leadership the annual appropriations for OJP grew substantially–from $800 million in 1993 to over $4 billion in 2000. At the same time, she spearheaded initiatives in a wide range of areas including community-based crime control, the prevention of violence against women, law enforcement technology, and corrections.
From 2004 until January 2009, Ms. Robinson served as director of the master of science program in the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Criminology.

Awards were given after all judges were finished scoring and the newly elected district officers were installed.
Sierra Arens and Thomas Kerbs received 2nd Place in Web Site Design; Parker Bott, Jacob Hendrix, and Skye Malcom received 2nd Place in E-business; and Parker Bott received 4th Place in Computer Applications. Parker Bott also placed 10th overall in Intro to Technology Concepts.
District 17 is made up of 24 high schools in Southwest Missouri ranging in size from 94 to 2118. Bronaugh came in 6th Place in the Small Schools Division (200 or less) and 15th overall. This is determined by giving each place in the top 5 a point value and adding them together for each school.
If you see any of the students, please tell them "Congratulations!" They worked very hard on their projects and are deserving of your praise.

Now that is what takes authenticity, is not so much in fashion dress parades. In the first row there are more Vans with ripped jeans to suits. It is the sign of the times and the influence of artists such as Gosha Rubchinskiy: presentation last week at the fair Pitti in Florence, shows the sweet moment living the aesthetics of youthful rebellion. So it funny that man parades Fashion Week in Milan, for now, are still rather frivolous proudly.
Dsquared take several seasons vindicating their ability to reinvent any piece of male wardrobe, no matter if they are suits, shirts or jeans began, and those who have built an empire that just turned twenty. This time the inspiration was skin from the waist up and glam from the waist down. belted plaid shirts and jackets with military checkerboard pattern and foot, heel boots platform that would have made a happy man Marc Bolan.(formal dress)
As the parade progressed the thing grew. The Fates mods were covered with sequins (an unexpected trend for next season) and boots, glitter; in the end, Dan and Dean Caten, identical twins who founded the brand, came out to greet arm, parading with individual platforms and strips with gay flag waving in the wind: a celebration of difference and hedonism in the mourning after Orlando bombing.
Donatella Versace, who also knows a thing or two about fashion as evasion, knew how to put the audience to tone before its parade with a video of his friend Bruce Weber: Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss and casting well-fed models nourished, filmed with the usual joie de vivre photographer and filmmaker. The clothes were also worth celebrating: smooth, sometimes elegant and sometimes sporty, colorful discreet but sometimes semitransparent. When they are rarities Prince (one, with a chorus that said: versace), Donatella proved that theirs is not the chaotic family business that once was, and that their discipline has yielded results at all levels.
A little earlier in the day yesterday, Dolce & Gabbana had submitted their fantasy of every season, this time inspired by a vision of jazz in Palermo. Among gold art deco lamps, there were prints saxophone and piano keys, tailoring for everyone, big guy gangster coats and sequined tuxedos (you see what he said?).
The starting point was some similarity with inspiration Forties Tomas Maier at Bottega Veneta, only baggy pants German or delicate jackets patchwork fur, might seem luxurious second hand, and nothing in the race Dolce & Gabbana has never seemed even remotely used.(semi formal dresses)
Bottega Veneta has not paraded this season (shown clothes in private appointments in offices) because it will make a joint show next September, to celebrate 15 years of Tomas Maier aboard the house. Since the firm says it is a blip, but his absence in the calendar is added to the Zegna (which just changed designer) or Calvin Klein (who still does not have). This is an atypical season, so parades as above, or as the conceptual beauty, but friendly, we saw at Marni, comforting. Each does what it deserves. In Milan, everything changes, but everything is still in place.

Time for That Sinking Feeling, Colltalers
As Nov. 6 gets closer, and our second-guessing, self-doubts increase, some of us are already taking steps to protect themselves from the utter heartbreak and disappointment that may follow Election Day.
A number of us go through certain rituals, to preserve their ability to get up the following day, and the following, and the following. Such rites may include even a forced temporary sense of fear from the outcome.
Just like experienced performers, these wise souls trigger an inner mechanism, that allow them to go into panic mode on command, and act as if they're already facing catastrophe. Such complicated and elaborate exercise is not for the faint of heart, to be sure.
But it's a well-honed ability to anticipate, under a controlled environment, near the same anxieties and potentially disabling feelings that may greet the big day, with one notable exception: they make it all 'happen' way before the actual date.
That way, they feel confident about weathering the storm, coming the deadline, without the risk of shutting down and being unable to function or even react to the possible bad news. Apparently it works for them.
Many a stage professional have vouched to such a clever emotional device, even if they too are aware that it's all just a simulation, and ultimately can't come close to the thrill of reality, the shock of something actually happening in the real world, out of our control.
About that world. However you may choose to go about this time, one thing is certain: its impact may go way beyond the two main events of the period, the playful Halloween frights, or even the mega-storm that's supposed to hit the eastern seaboard between now and then.
We've all been here before. What we've holding with confidence, suddenly is at risk of completely lose its strength, and we may be left with a cold uneasiness inside, a sentiment of dread and reluctance to face the fact that all may go terribly wrong.
But be it as it may, most of us will have plenty of time to commiserate about our lost opportunity, from the morning after it to at least four years afterwards. So, whether preparing yourself well or not for that moment, there's very little we can do at this point.
See, for Halloween, you can just go out and get yourself a nice costume. For the storm, if it does indeed hit, you can also get prepared for the best of your ability. It's for the presidential election that whatever you may have done, will be it for now.
That's why this week we're proposing a vigil of sorts, which will serve both to prepare us for the worst, and also to remind us that, at the end of the day, we're really all that we've got. So we may as well count on each other for support, because we're going to need it.
We wish, of course, that we could be more optimist and, at this point in time, have more confidence that we really did all that we possibly could to make sure those who drove this country to a deep economic ditch, and got away with it, wouldn't at least return to power.
But alas, many in this country have already forgotten. Some are no longer part of this equation. And others are simply too busy surfing, switching, texting, and playing, to even remember why they should care. It's up to those of us who're losing sleep over it.
Despite refusing being Pollyanna about the future, though, we're not prepared to give it all up just yet. And if they ride back to dominance, it won't be on our broken backs or through the skin of our teeth, that's for sure.
There was a time in America that the press was free, and our politicians not so wealthy, and our corporations not too powerful, and a multitude of grassroots movements and so-called minorities owned the streets.
We owe to a coalition of passionate groups of women, blacks, gays, latinos, unions and students many of the things the rest of the world once cherished and admired as typically American: equal opportunity, civil rights, freedom of expression, democracy for all.
If it all seem to have gotten away from us, if we can no longer consider ourselves free, and capable of getting better, and have equal footing in the decisions that affect the nation, if opportunities seem now to be fewer and far in between, at least one of them is fast approaching.
Perhaps a good scare, thinking that things may actually become even worst than they are already, may do us all good this week. We certainly hope that you haven't lost neither your nerve nor you faith in the future. Have a great one. WC

Nestled in the lush Pennsylvania "Dutch" farmlands are the estates of families whose forbearers owned the mines, ore pits and furnaces that produced artillery, shot and stoves for Washington's army. In 1972, storm waters of Hurricane Agnes flooded the mines, which were closed after two centuries of productivity. Some of the mansions of the founders' families are gone or were converted to other uses, and piece by piece, their orchards, pastures and croplands have yielded to suburban sprawl. But one parcel has become a unique recreation center, Quentin Riding Club.
To this farm the Coleman's imported America's first Hackney horses, the fine carriage animals that moved England's aristocracy in the mid-nineteenth century. The farm included stables with box stall doors made from 3-inch oak. Hinges were made from wrought iron and latches were formed from recessed brass. Mountain spring water was piped to each stall and to hand-hewn stone watering troughs. There were blacksmith shops, carriage sheds, isolation barns for mares in foal, tack rooms, grooms' offices and small animal shelters, all surrounding an 18-room home occupied by the manager and including a detached office building for the business staff of the Estates. Local businessmen purchased the facility for their prize steeds in 1934 and later enrolled social members to help defray the operating costs.
When Bismarck Became Quentin
This outlines the events surrounding World War I and just how devastated Teddy Roosevelt was upon learning of the death of his youngest son, Quentin, a United States Air Service pilot who was shot down by German fighters in 1918.
As the most famous casualty of The Great War, the death of Quentin Roosevelt was not only a blow to the former president, who never quite recovered from the loss, but Quentin's loss reverberated throughout the country.
Quentin, who was just four when his father assumed the presidency, was beloved across the nation. His death in war spurred leaders in the Lebanon County town of Bismarck to change its name.
Growing anti-German sentiment fueled the switch, but given the majority population of German-heritage citizens in and around Bismarck and the rest of Pennsylvania Dutch region of the Keystone state, the name really was a big statement.
The leader of the name change was a man named William J Noll, a Lebanon County Commissioner and the first president of the Quentin Volunteer Fire Company. Noll was also the secretary for the founders of the Cornwall Furnace, so he was able to rally the troops on behalf of his crusade.
When the name change from Bismarck to Quentin became official later in 1918, Teddy Roosevelt sent a letter thanking Noll.
"I am deeply touched by what the people of Quentin have done. The name by the way, is pronounced in English fashion, exactly as it is spelt. I wish through you I could thank all of the patrons of the post office and especially those who you inform me were the originators of the movement,'' wrote Teddy Roosevelt from his Sagamore Hill homestead in Oyster Bay, NY.
Quentin Riding Club was the home of Mr. and Mrs. William J Noll, Rachael his wife who passed away here at Quentin Riding Club in her bedroom on July 9, 1923.

"Over many, many years the Oliver Family, along with a dedicated staff, have brought beauty into our lives with special trees, shrubs, lawn and flowers." – Renie and Jack Lexington, Massachusetts
"Awesome work from beginning to end. Found this company by walking the dog a few blocks over, left my name and number at the porches I liked, two out of 3 had then done by Oliver's……Jeff (and Jimmy) of Oliver Enterprises were personable and professional. The quality of the work they and Jeff's workers did was excellent. Our yard looks beautiful. The price they quoted and kept to was significantly less than a quote we'd gotten from another company. I highly, highly recommend this company." – Angie's List Review
"In the fall of 2011 we had several trees removed from a 1/2 lot section on our property. It left a very unsightly, unattractive void in the landscape. We had to look at it all winter and there was no snow cover to hide it from view. Come early spring we knew we had to do something but were not sure how to approach the task or what to expect for an outcome or what not sure how to approach the task or what to expect for an outcome or what the options were for repairing and landscaping the area. We contacted Oliver Enterprises (on-line through their website) and requested a consultation. Jeff Oliver responded to our request and after assessing the area involved sat down with us to suggest a design, explain the tasks needed to be performed, set expectations and provide an estimate of the cost. Jeff was immediately able to help us understand what the potential was for redeveloping our landscape scar and what the process would involve. In the matter of a week, or so, he provided us with a proposal, we discussed the terms and came to an agreement. The project work started shortly afterwards, was completed in a reasonable elapsed timeframe despite some challenging weather conditions…rainy periods. The results are amazing!! We are very pleased with the new landscape and the way everyone from Oliver Enterprises conducted themselves during the project. They were pleasant, professional and skilled in their individual tasks." -Angie's List Review
"Oliver Enterprises removed all overgrown shrubs and large spruce tree in our front yard as well as an overgrown patch of flowers, trees and shrubs in our backyard. The front shrubs were then all replaced and mulch was laid. Moss and grass seed were spread in front yard and back patch. Oliver also dug out our front walkway and replaced it with aggregated concrete and patched our front steps and retaining wall. Lastly, they contracted painters to sand down and paint the retaining wall, steps and entire front porch and railings. Jeff Oliver was a real pleasure to work with. Our total job was done in 4 days which was much quicker than we expected for so much work. He was very easy to reach by phone and included us in the process the entire way. We appreciated the fact that he talked through each decision with us so as to not waist our time or money. He was conscientious of the fact that we had a limited budget but also wanted to use materials that were durable and would withstand the test of time. He often oversaw the project himself stopping by on a number of occasions. We would absolutely use Oliver Enterprises again." — Angie's List Review

Flood Insurance Bill Passed by Senate
The United States Senate overwhelmingly passed the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act on January 30, 2014. "Working toward getting this legislation which calls for a 4-year timeout on rate increases has been a priority for Louisiana REALTORS® and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR)" said Norman Morris, Senior VP of Governmental Affairs for Louisiana REALTORS®. Expert testimony was provided by NAR suggesting that many of these increases are excessive and inaccurate. The bill also creates a flood insurance advocate within the Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) to investigate home owner complaints of multiple different or excessive rate quotes.
The Senate vote (67 – 32) sends the measure to the House of Representatives. REALTOR® efforts will be focused on persuading the House leadership to bring a similar bill up for a floor vote at the earliest opportunity.

MIT will increase women on campus
By Karen Kaplan
From undergraduate admissions to senior faculty appointments, MIT is looking to increase the number of women within its ranks.
"Looking over the next 10 to 15 years, over 85 percent of new entrants into the labor force will be either minorities or women," said Michael C. Behnke, director of admissions. "In the case of both those populations, we feel it is absolutely essential that MIT play a lead role in giving them access to an MIT education and to encourage them to think about careers in engineering and science."
Although the admissions office has no special policy for women, "there are two things that we do," Behnke said. These include making a "special effort to recruit women" and a "post-admission program," he said.
In order to make sure that a substantial number of women are admitted into each undergraduate class, the admissions office heavily recruits high school women so that there are plenty of qualified applicants to choose from.
"We use the Student Search Service more heavily for women. When [members of the admissions staff] are visiting high schools, we try to visit those where our information indicates we're more likely to see . . . women students. We also have special efforts to recruit both women and minority students
[el6p]who are particularly well qualified with special letters and phone calls," Behnke said.
Women's Weekend in the spring is the largest part of the post-admissions program for women. "We want to give women a chance to get on campus, talk to people here, and hopefully make the best decision they can based on the maximum amount of information," he said.
Behnke said MIT does not have an official affirmative action admissions policy for women. If there were such a policy, like the one that exists for members of underrepresented minority groups, "it would change things to some extent. . . . We turn down a number of well-qualified women students because they are competing against male students for the same spots. If we had an affirmative action program, we probably wouldn't be doing that," he said.
Test scores lower for women
"We are aware as we make [admissions] decisions that women score somewhat lower on standardized tests, so we take that into account," Behnke said. "We feel that has more to do with the
(Please turn to page 25)
(Continued from page 19)
tests than with women. Women as a whole slightly outperform men at MIT. They also have a higher retention rate."
Because their test scores are lower, women students often feel as if they were admitted by accident or to fill a quota, according to Mary P. Rowe, Institute ombudsman and special assistant to the president.
"Women who came here have been worried that they were accepted as special cases, that MIT only accepted them because they were women," she said. "It's a very persistent myth, but the aggregate data shows that that's not true."
Rowe cited a study conducted by Institute Professor Mildred S. Dresselhaus which showed that women here were more likely to take leadership positions in student clubs as evidence that women students were not less qualified than other students.
More women sought for
faculty positions as well
Recruitment of women here is not limited to undergraduate admissions. In August, Provost Mark S. Wrighton announced a new program aimed at increasing the number of women on the MIT faculty. The aggressive three-part program includes a fund to bring women to MIT as "faculty visitors and distinguished lecturers," special funding incentives for departments to appoint women to professorship positions, and increased emphasis on the Ellen Swallow Richards Professorship, which is used to attract outstanding senior women to the faculty.
The program came in response to recommendations made by the Equal Opportunity Committee. "It seemed that the number of women had settled at around 100," which means that only 10 percent of the faculty are women, Wrighton said. "In contrast, 35 percent of the Class of 1995 are women.
"It seems to us that as women are being educated to higher degrees, we should take definite steps to encourage networking, finding women early in their careers, and making special efforts to recruit them to MIT," he continued.
Wrighton stressed the importance of having women on the faculty. "I do believe that diversity on the faculty leads to diversity of interests and achievements. I do believe there is an important mentorship role," he said.
Anita M. Killian '85, academic administrator for the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, agreed that women mentors would enhance the faculty. "I really think we need more women in academic leadership roles," she said.
Killian said she believes MIT should aggressively recruit women to the faculty because "There are only a few [well-qualified women] out there, and the competition for them is high. What will make a woman want to come here is that . . . this is a community that will accept her. We need to show women that there is a place for them here.
"It's been proven with the student population that allowing more women [into MIT] enhances the climate. I think the same will be true for faculty as well," Killian continued.
In the two months since the program began, Wrighton reported that "at least two" women faculty have been "added to departments in connection with those programs."
