Different piercings have different healing times. It's also important to remember that the exact healing time for any piercing is highly individual and depends on many factors, such as the piercing size and depth, jewelry, aftercare, and other factors.
However, it's also important to know the average healing time for different piercings. While any healing time chart should be taken as information only (because each piercing is different), it's important to know what to expect when it comes to healing time.
A Healing Piercing
After you get pierced, your body will treat the new piercing as a wound. However, this wound can't heal the way wounds usually do, because there is an object inside the hole. Therefore, your body has to work to accommodate it, so the piercing wound heals around the object. A fully healed piercing heals around the jewelry, leaving the hole in the middle so the jewelry can be inserted without pain or discomfort.
There are several stages of healing:
- The inflammatory stage. It happens right after you get pierced. Your immune system reacts, which leads to redness and short-term tenderness. In this stage, your body seals the tissue, and it separates your body from the jewelry. Some swelling is normal at this stage and is not a sign of infection. It's also normal to experience some crusting or drainage during this period. This is all normal and should not be confused for an infection. However, this phase doesn't last long so if you do notice excessive swelling or puss, it's a sign that your new piercing is infected so you'll need to cure the infection.
- The reconstructive stage. This time is the longest one and it takes weeks (sometimes months). In this stage, the body grows a new tissue around the piercing. However, the new tissue is weaker than the old one and can easily tear. This is why it's important to take a good care of your piercing and not to disturb it by changing the jewelry or moving (rotating) the jewelry.
- The maturation phase. This is the last healing phase. Here, the new tissue strengthens and goes back to the normal size. The scar tissue diminishes until the wound is fully healed and the piercing hole remains in the middle.
Healing Times
It's vital to take these healing times as information only. It's not unusual for a piercing to look fully healed while in fact it's not. This is why it's advisable to treat your piercing as not fully healed for a little longer than you may feel is necessary. It's better to wait a few weeks more than to disturb a not fully healed piercing.
Here is a quick healing time chart for the most popular types of piercings:
- Earlobe: 4-8 Weeks
- Ear Cartilage: 2-12 Months
- Eyebrow: 2-4 Months
- Navel: 6-12 Months
- Nostril: 2-6 Months
- Septum: 6-8 Weeks
- Tongue: 4-6 Weeks
- Lip: 8-12 Weeks
- Nipple: 2-6 Months (for men, it takes 2-3 months)
- Prince Albert: 4-9 Weeks
- Reverse PA: 4 – 6 months
- Ampallang: 6-10 Months
- Apadravya: 4-10 Months
- Dydoe: 2-6 Months
- Guiche: 2-3 Months
- Foreskin: 6 – 8 weeks
- Scrotum: 2-3 Months
- Clitoral Hood: 2-3 Months
- Triangle: 8 – 10 weeks
- Fourchette: 4– 6 weeks
- Inner Labia: 2 – 8 weeks
- Outer Labia: 2 – 6 months
- Christina: 2-3 Months

Leave Letter to Boss
A Leave letter to the Boss is a request for taking leave by a subordinate. Some smaller companies may not have proper leave forms to be filled for leave; hence, a leave letter to the immediate supervisor would suffice. There are many reasons why an employee would require a leave. It could be due to a family emergency or for a vacation. Since every employee has a target to achieve it is important for him or her to give a prior notice to the boss about the leave so that he or she knows that you would not be able to work on your target for a few days.
The leave letter should request approval for the intended leave with the reason for the leave. Also, the duration for which you require the leave should be mentioned and you should also promise that you would get back to work on time and complete your target. You can also mention the details of your leave so that it becomes convincing for the boss to allow you for the leave. A leave letter for taking care of a new-born is called a parental leave letter. Remember to write this letter in a few days prior so that the boss can assign your share of the work to someone else if needed. Write the letter politely in the correct format with formal terms. Remember to thank the boss.
Sample Letter

Thank you for your kind understanding on my leave request.
Yours Truly,

Buy And Install The HID Kit
If you want to replace the bulbs of your car you should search for the options that are available on the market today. The newest and the most effective lights are HID lights. High Intensity Discharge lights are very popular today because they have serious advantageous over the usual halogen bulbs.
HID lights are significantly brighter and do not consume a lot of energy. They work on 35 watts and save the life of your battery. Moreover HID lights work significantly longer. HID lights can operate up to ten years. These lights are almost unbreakable because they do not contain any filament inside.
They work on the xenon gas that is why they are resistant to different collisions and vibrations. HID bulbs can be available in different colors. You can choose blue, purple or yellow color. It all depends on the temperature of the bulbs. HID lights can make your night driving safer providing bright and clear glow.
This allows you to see everything on the road. HID bulbs are typically installed in new cars. You will not find these bulbs in older models but you can order the HID bulbs especially for your vehicle. This is not difficult. You should determine the size and type of your headlight bulbs and search for the HID lights of the same characteristics and dimensions.
The most important thing is the installation of the HID lights. It is recommended to turn to professional who can install the HID lights for your. But the installation is quite simple. If you have a basic mechanical knowledge you can install the HID kit yourself. You need to remove the old standard bulb and install the new bulb instead.
Then install the HID light into the housing. After that you should plug the wire into the ballast connector. The other ballast connector should be connected into the factory plug for the usual headlight lamp. You should next to mount the ballast. Take the slide-in bracket and mount the ballast with the help of it near the headlight.
If any vehicle requirements make you think of upgrading your auto to HID lights, these days it is very easy to do that using HID kit which is offered on this HID bulbs site.

Renault-Nissan Exec: Next-Generation LEAF & Zoe Will Share A Common Platform
A top-level exec at Renault-Nissan has made it known that the next-generation Nissan LEAF and Renault ZOE will share a new common platform.
Both vehicles will differ outside and in, but according to Arnaud Deboeuf, senior vice president of Renault-Nissan's strategic management unit, the two vehicles will share a platform and electric motors.
Though not stated, it would seem as though sharing of a battery pack is a given too. Deboeuf wouldn't comment on this battery cell topic.
This commonality should help to drive down cost.
Today's LEAF is bigger than the ZOE, so the obvious questions are…will the next-gen LEAF shrink in size or will the next-gen ZOE grow? Automotive News reached out to Deboeuf for an answer, but he declined to provide specific details. Automotive News stated:
"Deboeuf said the new generations of the Leaf and the Zoe will compete in the same segment but declined to say if the Zoe will grow in size to become a compact model or if the Leaf will be shrunk to become a subcompact."
When should we expect to see the next-gen, shared platform EVs from Renault and Nissan? Well, it seems both vehicles are still quite a ways off. Without providing much detail, Deboeuf suggested that the all-new EVs won't arrive until sometime after the LEAF gets its already-planned facelift in 2018 (and after a range bump next year). French media seems to believe that the ZOE will be first up to be all-new in 2020 or 2021. The LEAF will follow shortly after, it's assumed.
By 2020-2021, both models will be old by today's car standards. The LEAF launched as all-new in late 2010 and the ZOE came onto market in 2012, so both EVs will be pushing close to 9-10 years of age, when standard product cycles are usually around 7 years these days.
There surely will be lots of competion in the BEV segment by 2020, so for Renault-Nissan to suceed, both next-gen models will have to be long-range, priced right and deliver on all other fronts.

"so the obvious questions are…will the next-gen LEAF shrink in size or will the next-gen ZOE grow?"
As counter intuitive as it may sound, I understood that now, cars having wide differences in size could nevertheless use the same platform. At least I read this concerning VW group new platform. I guess this technological progress is spreading fast within the all industry.
Yea, a shared platform can easily mean different sized vehicles. The Leaf could just use a long wheelbase version, which would allow a bigger pack, than the ZOE.
So gen 2 leaf not until 2020-2021 ?
That's depressing :o((
"…the all-new EVs won't arrive until sometime after the LEAF gets its alread-planned facelift (and likely a range bump too) in 2018. French media seems to believe that the ZOE will be first up to be all-new in 2020 or 2021. The LEAF will follow shortly after, it's assumed."
According to the article, this would be essentially the Leaf 3. The leaf 2 will debut in 2018. The new Zoe will be in 2020-2021. 3rd gen Leaf (or a smaller leaf variant) will then debut sometime after that.
The current minor facelift with range bump that's in the pipeline and imminent is not the Gen 2 leaf as I read it.
Mind you, they could be just smokescreening ?
Well, if that ends up being the case that would be very dissapointing! I was hoping to see a next gen leaf announced in the spring to really get excitement brewing over the new EV models.
I still read it as the 'all new' being the shared platform. And that the leaf will still get an update for the 2018 model year. but be on the old platform.
[cough] C [cough] E [cough] S [cough]
Woah you okay there, man? That cough sounds pretty bad!
But your cold makes a good point. A certain someone will be making a certain something at a certain trade show.
I am certainly interested to see if a new certain "still the best selling EV world-wide" will be shown.
Dang it, they better have something worthwhile hit the US Nissan dealerships by June 2017, or our family will say bye-bye to the Leaf after nearly 5 years of loyal leasing.
I can't believe 2020 for gen2 leaf. That would be way too long.
I bet they'll do 2018 at the latest.
I wouldn't worry… that isn't how I read the article at all. 🙂
From what I understood from the article, the leaf will get it's "…already-planned facelift in 2018 (and after a range bump next year)"
The next-next leaf will be after 2021.
I'm with Alan/Mad. I don't understand how Nissan could wait until 2020 for the second generation Leaf. The car will be noncompetitive next year. Three years of stagnation will make most people abandon the Leaf I would think.
It's already non-competitive THIS year and LAST year.
Outside the US, the 30 kWh 2016 Leaf has been highly competitive.
In fact, as of October it still leads the global year-to-date sales list.
The Model S is likely to overtake it by a narrow margin in December, but the #2 spot is all but guaranteed for the Leaf, the same spot it (barely) held in 2015, after a dominating #1 in 2013 and 2014.
Really? What other EV could be had in all 50 US states, and around the world, with a true 100+ mile range for less than $30k? This year or last?
It is only non-competitive when you pit it against near-future vehicles like the Bolt.
I wouldn't worry too much about vehicle size. Modern platforms are versatile, and sharing a platform doesn't dictate that the vehicles have to have the same dimensions. Small sedans and CUVs share platforms but can have very different wheelbases, slightly different tracks, and very different exterior and carrying capacity.
I'd hope we'll see a next generation Leaf before the 2020 MY.
There is NO WAY Nissan will wait until 2020 to release gen 2 LEAF. Chevy will probably be teasing Gen 3 Volt by then.
And gen 2 Bolt…
They should have gone for a single platform a long time ago. It would have made development much cheaper.
And they could have come up with a pretty nice Bolt/M3 competitor by now, if they would have had a platform ready now.
A pretty simple idea would be:
Two motors(75 & 100kW), two pack sizes(40 and 60kWh), three vehicles. Zoe, Leaf and Leaf sized CUV.
-The cheapest version Zoe gets the small motor and the small pack, with an option for the bigger motor, maybe in a higher trim.
-The Leaf as well as the CUV get the small pack with the bigger motor as standard. And a bigger pack and two motor AWD, two small motors, as an option. A sport model could use two big motors or a big and small motor combination.
That way they would have everything from a cheap 40kWh Zoe to a more pricy 200 mile AWD CUV all using the same cells, battery modules and motors. But ok, maybe by 2020, they will have recognized that an alliance is only good if you share your development.
Excellent suggestions. Get a job with Nissan!
R.S wins the 'elevator pitch'.
Well done.
It is getting less and less likely Nissan will offer a substantially better (say 48kWh) Leaf in 2017. I am glad I reserved a Model 3 just in case there would not be a viable alternative when it hits the roads.
It sounds to me like Nissan has given up
Au contraire! They're just very conservative running their business. Very conservative.
I think they are waiting and watching the competition to see what's what. With the LEAF, they were guessing what the markets wanted. Even though 80% of all trips are well within the LEAF's range, that didn't translate into the sales they hoped for. It was logical, but didn't connect with the emotional heart of their US customers. They also tried battery leasing and battery swapping. I think they are waiting to see how their competitors fare before making any decisions about the LEAF 2. Also they are probably trying to recoup their investment in the LEAF by squeezing out every last sale they can.
Maybe with a new platform they'll finally include active liquid thermal management for the battery. One can always hope.
If the gen 2 Leaf is just a facelift and update of the current offering, I doubt it will get better battery thermal management, and that's a likely deal-breaker for me after our lease experience.
The timeline in the article is going to put Nissan even further behind. Pretty disappointing.
Well…um….if the Zoe has CCS charging then the Leaf might switch to CCS as well? So RIP CHAdeMO??
At least in EU and US…
That's what I was thinking.
Nissan can use this as a face-saving way of flip-flopping on this issue now.
"Yes, we are switching to CCS since we had to do that in order to harmonize with the Renault cars." (Not a real quote.)
So probably the next-gen Zoe will have CCS?! (according to an other news here)
Why is that piece of information missing here?
So, it would be slow and sucky? LOL.
From other comments of yours, you seem like an intelligent enough person. Why is it, then, that you come to every Leaf article and troll about how slow it is? Can you just accept that it's not the car for you and move on? Or why do you feel the need to dump on every thread with useless comments?
Totaly agree!
Just move on, it's not for you, we get that.
"Can you just accept that it's not the car for you and move on? Or why do you feel the need to dump on every thread with useless comments?"
I am just following the "shinning examples" set by many others who choose to dump on "whatever EVs" they don't like here.
It is a tradition that someone has to carry on.
Yes, I will dump on it until LEAF gets improved so it won't be so crappy anymore.
Very well. Carry on making useless, obnoxious comments then. I'll just ignore them and hope that other readers are intelligent enough to see through you.
The Leaf goes Ok. Takes off fast enough when you need to, sticks with traffic no problems, can do 110kmh (which is legal limit where I live). Pity about the battery degradation, I think that hurt Nissan more than anything (did Lizard battery improve it?).
Range is about right for 24kwh pack, not sure how Ioniq can do so well with their 28kwh pack.
Not much choice with EV where I live. I could get the insanely priced Tesla, the almost as insanely priced i3, or the reasonably affordable Leaf. Can't afford Tesla, can afford Leaf, it goes Ok as far as I'm concerned, and really looking forward to New offerings if they every get released here.
Nissan can change the drivetrain to the next generation, improve cell chemistry maybe even add battery cooling and modern functions like ACC, all in the current model and save some sales. But it cannot improve aerodynamics or weight that much. And that could be the decisive factor for market failure Hyundai Ioniq has everything today and much better energy economy giving it a price advantage.
We will see how that ends.
Hopefully they make the battery pack scalable so you could add or remove modules to get a variety of sizes for different cars.
Disappointing. Nissan has pretty much given up their EV leadership position to any bona fide EV company that cares to challenge them, like Tesla with Model 3.
By the time the 2020 Nissan LEAF / Renault Zoe shows up, Tesla will be selling hundreds of thousands of Model 3s.
I also believe that we have woken up the German auto manufactures who, by 2020, will have serious competition for Nissan in Renault.
I beleive that US manufacturers (except Tesla) are going into "EV coast mode" during the Trump years, so I don't really expect anything too spectacular from any of them.
That includes the GM Bolt EV, which I predict will sell in just CARB ZEV states and perhaps a few other places like Washington state, Chicago and Atlanta. Ford is out to lunch and Fiat / Chrysler really isn't US anyway (but they both must still meet minimum ZEV numbers in CARB-ZEV states).
Pretty well certain, the Bolt will sell all it could in Canada.
In the 3 provinces with decent incentives they will. Elsewhere? Probably not so much.
"That includes the GM Bolt EV, which I predict will sell in just CARB ZEV states and perhaps a few other places like Washington state, Chicago and Atlanta."
So, those people that ordered Bolt in DFW, TX must be lying? LOL.
Well, I predict that your prediction is wrong.
Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in.
Chevrolet Bolt.
Tesla Model III.
New BEVs and Plug-in hybrids from Toyota and Honda.
New electric Smart.
New electric Mini.
BMW i5.
Yeah, sounds like they're just coasting at this point.

While experimenting on an English farthing, Gryffen accidentally creates a sentient currency. Can even the multinational Department defeat 'market forces'?
No, wait, I'm wrong, this is about a robot policeman turned good.
Said robocops - an embarrassing staple of this show since its launch - are usually very stupid, but the Department have been experimenting by augmenting a few of them with human DNA. When one of them gets cut off from the collective, sorry I mean others, our pals are plunged into something very rare indeed for this series - a moral dilemma.
So - should they turn him back into being fully robot and let his human side die? Or encourage his humanity despite his never being able to satisfy it?
The clock is ticking. New department villain Thorne is taking a while to recognise that the regular pattern of events means that whatever evil experiment he's lost will always be found hidden at Gryffen's house. Sure, the penny drops before the end of this episode, but surely he must be starting to spot the tendency by now?
Well, he's not the only one a bit vague on recent events. Despite K9 having guided him around the Department's headquarters with ease last week, this week Starkey is incredulous at the idea.
Starkey: "K9 it's too dangerous. You don't even know your way round."
This local amnesia doesn't go away. When Thorne tries to arrest everyone at the end, he's outwitted by two things:
1. The threat from the alien librarian in the preceding episode on the disc means that he now cannot harm anyone in our gang, so he has to settle for just locking them up for a long time. (as a viewer, it is my responsibility to infer this)
2. This episode is written by someone with a bit of a brain on them. Not only does this result in - shock! - a great deal of discussion, but it also embues Gryffen, Starkey, Jorjie, Darius and K9 with a sudden rush of intelligence. The game of wits that emerges as the two factions gamble not just for their freedom, but also for Birdie the sentient robot's, is sparkling.
Comparisons with the Diet Cybermen and the Borg are inevitable, except that of course no-one in this makes any such comparison. For all Gryffen's knowledge of the history of Centauri, when it comes to basic local history like the battle of nearby Canary Wharf, he apparently knows nothing.
Oh, and Jorjie gets yet another love interest. In a stunning surprise twist, this doesn't last the duration of the episode.
Darn it, I was really rooting for those two.

A Tale of Two Faces
February 2, 2011 by Rhonda Rhea
Filed under Humor, Stories
By Rhonda Rhea –
I was looking through family pictures the other day. I love oohing and ahing over the pictures of all my kids when they were babies. I did, however, make an interesting observation in several of the shots that included the entire family. When the kids were babies, my husband had a mustache.
And I didn't.
Woah, not a pretty turn of events, I must say. I wonder if we could make a bad reality show out of it. Something like "Where's Their Hair Now"? Or even better, how about "Trading Faces"?
If not a reality show, at least a poem. I've noticed that traumatic experiences often send writers into bouts of poetry. For some of us, it's really bad poetry. My proof:
Electrolysis or lasers?
Should I go ahead and tweeze it?
Sugars, waxes, creams or razors?
Should I heat it, blast it, freeze it?
Maybe chemicals will get it,
Gotta look at all the facts.
I can simply wax poetic,
But maybe I should simply wax.
I decided it was time to end the bad poem when I realized there were too many words that rhyme with "pelt" and not enough that rhyme with "weed-whacker."
All "Extreme Makeover, Face Editions" aside, it's not a bad thing to stop and think about our spiritual faces. Have you ever met a two-faced person? Have you ever been one? Behaving one way at church, showing a totally different face at home, on the job or at school?
We need to always put our best face forward, as it were. Hypocrisy is one of the Lord's pet peeves. We're told in 1 Peter 2:1 to stop all that nonsense. "Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind" (NIV). The New Living phrases it like this, "So get rid of all malicious behavior and deceit. Don't just pretend to be good! Be done with hypocrisy and jealousy and backstabbing." Anytime we find ourselves acting as pretenders or two-faced back-stabbers we need a makeover in the most extreme way. And on all our collective faces.
Jesus said in Mark 7:6, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: 'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me'" (NIV).
It doesn't even really matter who has the furriest upper lip. Whatever my lip condition, I never want it to be out of sync with my heart. I've given my heart to Christ. That means my lips and my mind, my motives and my actions, are all to be His too. And when we have secret places of hypocrisy in our lives, they interfere with our worship. After all, there are no secret places that are hidden from Him. He sees our hearts. Isaiah 66:3 says, "The acts of the hypocrite's worship are as abominable to God as if they were offered to idols" (AMP).
Enough duplicity. We need to get rid of every two-faced tendency. I want to look forward to meeting Jesus face to face with great eagerness and expectation. Face to face. Not face to face to face.

I am so proud of myself for continuing to be accountable to blogging every day in April. I am grateful to Effy Wild for all that she does and puts out into the universe. You can check out some of the awesome things she does here: https://www.patreon.com/effywild
So it's Friday, and it is getting hot. I live in Florida and I am not a big fan of the heat….And I am not talking about regular summer heat…..I am talking about what happens here from about May to October…..over 95F most days, with a humidity level of about 99-100%, and the beating sun……I dread it just thinking about it. It literally drains the energy from my body, and seeing as we are on a farm, I have to be outside more than usual.
But, I will say, that since we moved up here from South Florida 6 years ago, it has been better. Living down there, it was like that from January to January, with maybe a few days of temps in the 50s.
Here, we get Fall….and it is lovely. It is not as vibrant or fragrant as further North, but it does the trick……our Sycamores change color and drop their leaves….and we even get a "slight" winter. We don't get snow, but we do get temps in the 30s, and the way our house and property sits, on an open field surrounded by trees and the house is elevated slightly….we have been known to wake up with ice and frost and temps in the high 20s on quite a number of days. Usually it is up to the 50s and 60s by 1PM. It's so perfect, you never ever hear me complain….that is, until the heat rolls around….
But, with that being said, I'll take those summers that last 6 months, knowing there is the promise of beautiful weather for the next 6.

Aboyne and Deeside Community Campus is to close for 10 days from Saturday, October 8, for essential maintenance work.
It involves a new electrical panel being installed which will serve the school, library, swimming pool and community centre.
Normal opening hours will resume on Tuesday, October 18, with the swimming pool scheduled to reopen on Friday, October 21.
Council Head of Lifelong Learning and Leisure John Harding said: "We have taken the opportunity to carry out these works during the October holidays so pupils at Aboyne Academy will not be affected.
"We do realise however that this means the swimming pool and other community facilities will not be available over the holidays and apologise for the inconvenience to our users and ask for their patience while we carry out this essential maintenance work.
"Other local libraries are happy to lend and receive items during the closure and nearby swimming pools at Banchory and Alford will be open for use."

Waterford Hackamore Combination
This is a great hackamore combination! The Waterford bit has many smooth flexible bumps or bubbles, which spreads the pressure over many points making it a light mouthpiece. The greater flexibility discourages a horse from leaning on it. The Waterford bit is a good choice for a horse that lean, it also promotes mouthing and salivation.

Think Outside the Spoon
I've been in the habit of taking yogurt to eat on the drive in to school. This is the yogurt I intended to eat today.
But once I was en route, I realized that I had forgotten my spoon. So, I began to problem-solve. After I double-checked my bags and before I planned a special pit-stop to a convenience store or fast-food place, I tried to see what I had on hand.
After a thorough search of my glove department, I debated using one of these two items:
Luckily, I also found this knife and decided to use the handle-end for a makeshift spoon. It worked pretty well!
I think I will have to start keeping a stock of disposable silverware to cover my scatter-brained self.

Hey, Folks!
We have definitely hit the time of year when I find myself wishing humans could take their cues from bears and sleep their way through all the frozen days and never ending nights. Unfortunately, we can't, but I have solution, and it is easier on the bank account than a tropical getaway. I just finished reading Julie Lessman's "Love at Any Cost," which will transport you to San Francisco in 1902 in instant. This Christian romance novel, revolves around Cassie McClare, a cowgirl who comes out to California to visit her family, and shed the pain of the Texas-sized heartache she drags around with her. That is unlikely to happen, however, with the presence of Jamie McKenna, a man with with qualities that remind her of the handsome troublemaker she fled from at home. She has learned all to quickly that good looking men are not to be trusted, especially when they are looking for rich wives. Despite that knowledge, there is no denying the chemistry between them. No one knows Cassie's fortune dried up right along with her Daddy's oil wells. Can Jamie learn to trust God, who he believes turned His back on him long ago, to provide for his relatives? Or will Cassie find that yet another suitor has let her down?
"Love at Any Cost" is a wonderful beginning to the promising "Heart of San Francisco" series. It gives a dimension to the 1900s that I have yet to encounter elsewhere. The McClare's are not your average upper class family of the time. Cassie prefers blue jeans to ball gowns and can outmaneuver any man when it comes to roping and riding skills or games of pool. This story is chalk full of both the subtle biblical teachings and the pulse racing romantic scenes Julie Lessman fans treasure. Teens will enjoy this book and I think it is a good one for mothers and daughters to experience together as it brings up many thought provoking points of discussion without being preachy, earning my rating of five out of five stars. There is no objectionable material, but it does discuss some difficult subjects as the characters try to rid their area of prostitution and gambling. Until we meet again…
Happy Reading,

Hello and welcome back to your weekly case law update. Last week we looked at an EU case concerning discrimination against breastfeeding mothers. This week we will again be looking at discrimination, sex discrimination this time, together with conduct investigations.
The questions this week are:
Can a person who influences a decision maker be considered a joint-decision maker?
If the influencer had discriminatory intention but the decision maker did not, is the decision discriminatory?
The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis v Denby
Mr. Denby, the Claimant, was a Chief Inspector in the Metropolitan Police, the Respondent. He was a distinguished officer who had been seconded to Afghanistan to set up a police force there. He was head of a unit that was predominantly male and not very diverse. Women were particularly underrepresented.
In general, the Respondent had a reputation for a male-dominated, macho culture. The Respondent had appointed a new Assistant Commissioner to address this issue of diversity and discrimination. The new Assistant Commissioner made a surprise visit to the Claimant's place of work and observed a male officer walking across the office in a towel.
The Claimant alleged this was because the officers had to do so to reach the locker room which was not connected to the shower. The Respondent was not happy with the incident or the Claimant's reasoning. The Claimant was placed under investigation and found to have allowed overtime to be paid when it hadn't been worked. There was also evidence to suggest some sort of bar/off license was being run.
The Claimant was investigated for criminal/gross misconduct, he was removed from command and placed on restricted duties. During this time, a team led by a female officer of the same rank as the Claimant was also found to have made payments made for overtime that had not been worked. The officer leading this team was not put at risk of gross misconduct/criminal proceedings and the matter was handled informally.
The Claimant also alleged that the Assistant Commissioner blocked his return to duty by influencing the decision maker after other senior colleagues had requested he return. He was also passed over for promotion and the investigation eventually resulted in informal action and no right of appeal.
The Claimant initiated a sex discrimination claim on the grounds that he was treated less favorably in comparison to his female colleague. He alleged the reason for this was because he was male. The ET held that the treatment was discriminatory. The Respondent appealed citing t hat the decision maker who did not lift the suspension was innocent and not discriminatory.
The EAT rejected the appeal. It held that if a Respondent is not transparent with its reasons for making sanctions and that a person innocently commits a discriminatory act after being influenced by a discriminator, that still means the decision was discriminatory.
The takeaway point:
Yes, if a decision maker is influenced by a discriminating third party – in this case, a senior colleague with a goal to tackle gender underrepresentation – then that means the decision can be discriminatory.
In this case, it was also held that if it is not initially obvious who the discriminator was, the Claimant can amend their claim once they find out who the discriminating individual is. This means the Claimant can sue them individually as well as the employer, who is vicariously liable.
This case, despite complex points about influencers and adding parties to claims mid-hearing, is another example of always treating people equally when deciding disciplinary sanctions for similar offenses.

Following pure art that is created by energy to make a beautiful thing as I wrote about in the previous article, I would next like to talk about fine art. In this article, I do not use the word "fine art" only to describe art aiming to create beauty. It also includes works depicting misery of wars such as the masterpiece Guernika by Pablo Picasso or works by Vincent van Gogh, which show his inner agony behind the beautifully colorful exterior.
In this way, some fine art works express the artists' emotions such as woe, grief, anger, or hatred, as well as their ideological views. Some works do not include the energy of beauty. Furthermore, fine art works reflect an evaluation of the way the artists live, the era they live in, and the thought of the era. In other words, the art is influenced by the surrounding energy, not only by the artists' energy. Unlike in the case of pure art, such energy cannot be accepted by all people without protest. Moreover, the art is also the beauty entirely created by humans and its values are changeable by a third party's evaluation, as I wrote in the third chapter of this series.
Fine art expresses the mindset and inwardness of a person, aside from pursuit of beauty or skill. In a sense, this is the kind of expression seen in a novel depicting the author's private life, and it is difficult for others to evaluate in some cases. Because feelings of agony and conflict are different individually depending on a person's background or position, it is from the beginning impossible to understand except for the individual. However, the strong energy contained in art works can often move people's feelings and are positively evaluated by those who feel empathy for such works.
Budding forth in Europe, fine art established a new concept - spiritual beauty - which afterward combined with, and found expression through, each era's thought and philosophy. However, this beauty is not a pure revelation of pre-existing human energy. It is rather a creation via a social energy which reflects the thought of the era through an artist's performance. Such works have been highly evaluated by certain experts or dealers and their value increased commercially through salons and exhibits.
After the opening of the country at the end of the 19th century, many people argued that art should emphasize spirituality and the European definition of originality should be accepted even in Japan.
Such a view downgraded Japan's traditional decorative works of art and craft works, which I believe is a complete misunderstanding. For example, such people have evaluated works by Ito Jakuchu higher than those by the traditional Kano School painters, because they think Jakuchu has more originality. However, this understanding ignores the originality and background of Oriental beauty, and also demonstrates a lack of knowledge of the Orient.
In Japan, spiritual beauty is something creators seek within themselves before they start creation, unlike in the West where it is expressed through works. In other words, it is not expressed outwardly. It is rather a result obtained through technical training everyday, looking inwardly toward their selves, and heightening their spirituality. It is an absolute beauty than does not need theory or a third party's evaluation. Consequently, there was no Japanese word meaning "art" in Japan until the beginning of the 20th century.
In Europe after the Industrial Revolution, due to social change and development of a money economy, works of art became more and more like financial products, while the newly rich replaced former patron classes. Apart from the original meaning and evaluation of the works, works have also come to be evaluated by monetary value, or market price. Nowadays, evaluation of most works of art, including abstract paintings, is evaluation by experts who have the same awareness and thought as the creators of the works. To be art, a work require authorities' evaluation or contract price at auctions in addition to the creators' energy. However, such evaluation may well change as time passes and evaluation of the authorities changes. The value of a work is an unstable value, in a sense.
Contemporary art, whose high contract price at auctions draws a great deal of attention, is evaluated by certain experts, and the value accorded includes the expertise of the experts. In other words, the value of art depends on who evaluated it and how much it was bid at auction. Furthermore, some types of contemporary art are "performance art" not grounded in any real techniques, and I think some of them are not worthy of the name "art." With such chaotic values today, we ought to judge works of art by our own good sense as to whether they are genuinely evaluated as art or rather evaluated as financial products, even if they are created by world prominent artists or highly praised in the world.

Having an SS card number is extremely important. People from all walks of life and in all types of situations need an SS card number for various reasons. If you want to know why it's important, then continue to read on.
Open A Bank Account
If you want to open an account with any financial institution in America, then you will need to provide the bank with your Social Security number, and this includes places like credit unions, banks and so forth. If you have a card, then you can show the bank your card. Banks and other financial institutions check their prospective clients' credit, to report investment income and interest to the Internal Revenue Service and to manage accounts. The bottom line is if you want to open an account or do business with a financial institution, then you'll need a Social Security number, otherwise you will not be able to do it.
Federal Loans
When applying for loans that are offered by the federal government, then you will need to give them your SS number because this is how the government determines whether or not you're eligible to receive a federal loan. For example, if you want to receive a federal student loan, then you'll have to give them your SS number. The government will check for a few things, such as whether or not you have defaulted in another loan that they provided you, and if you have, then you might not be approved for a loan.
Tax Returns
If you work in America, then you'll have to file a tax return, which requires you to fill out a number of forms. One of the first things you'll be asked to provide is a Social Security number. This is important and if you don't provide the IRS with your SSN, then there's a chance your tax returns won't be filed properly. If you hire a professional to prepare and file your taxes, then they will ask you for your SSN and if you don't give it to them, then they will probably not file your taxes because an SSN is required.
Passports And Driver's License
Sooner or later you might want a passport and when that time comes, you want to have your SSN on hand. Passport applications contain a section where you provide your number. There's a chance you could still be approved for a passport, but eventually you might be fined hundreds of dollars because you do need to provide an SSN.
If you do not have an SSN and apply for a passport, then delays in your application will occur. Besides passports, you need an SSN to obtain a driver's license. In most cases, this is true, but there may be exceptions.
These are only a few examples of why it's important to have an SSN. You also need one for work-related purposes, for when you apply for certain types of personal loans and if you want to obtain private health insurance. Now you know why it's important. See more at https://sscardreplacement.com

This album is about healing, it's not intended to be able to heal. Music can be soothing, and many aspects of music can be therapeutic. I participated in a music therapy project a couple of years ago with Alzheimer's patients, and learned first hand the kinds of effects music can bring to those suffering and struggling to maintain their basic humanity. But that is a different subject and not what this album is about.
By comparison, my musical intention is more mundane. It deals with everyday recovery from everyday loss by everyday people. Impermanence is a fact, but it is the fuel upon which life (and nonlife) sustains itself and moves on. Being attuned to the impermanence of beauty, happiness, and peace is a gift, and it teaches valuable lessons for dealing with ugliness, sorrow, and conflict.
- Song of Longing. Loss is difficult; it always leaves a hole that takes time to fill. Though it brings emptiness, it also brings a flood of memories that are often beautiful. Loss does not bring happiness, but the sorrow it brings is the result of happiness.
- 3am, Wide Awake. Recovery can make sleep difficult, even frightening. When I am awake in the middle of the night, it is more often from anticipation than reflection. But this is not the case with everyone, and for some, sleep brings no peace. That doesn't mean they don't get tired.
- Underwater. Recovering often seems like you can't breathe.
- Death of a Bumblebee. (Apologies to Rimsky-Korsakov.) Living in the desert, most of my homes have had either a pool or, in one case, a fishpond. Bees come to the water for moisture, and sometimes they end up going for a swim. Not a good idea. I save them if I can.
- Just Not The Same. A friend told me this once after a terrifying event with one of their children. What we miss was sometimes not there to begin with. That doesn't make it any easier.
- Just Suppose. Guilt.
- Sleeping Dragon. Sometimes the best we can do for a while is to put the dragon to sleep. We tiptoe around and try not to wake him up. Woe to those who wake him up for you.
- Sleeping Princess. Where there is a sleeping dragon, there is also usually a sleeping princess. We may try to ignore everything for a while, but closing up to sorrow and ugliness is also to ignore happiness and beauty. She can awaken too, and she is not always happy about being ignored.
- Confession. More guilt.
- Bounce. The lessons of impermanence are patience and timing. Peaks and valleys are part of everything. On the way down, knowledge offers resilience, and we bounce instead of crash, usually.
The album was recorded at my home in Phoenix AZ in November 2010. It is Album #20 and was released on June 25, 2018 by SMS Recordings SMS021.

Republican victories on November 3, 2009 in New Jersey and Virginia have been the subject of analysis. In light of all the attention given to these elections during the leadup, it is unsurprising to have found many commentators extacting messages from the results.
This article presents the straightforward facts. Christie rode suburban financial angst to victory . I like this article for two reasons. First, it presents the issues as local concerns, and does not mention the federal government. Property taxes, for example, are strictly a state issue. That is proper subject matter for a state election. Second, it spells out the issues on voters minds instead of speculating.
Another article expresses the view that widespread angst about the economy is shared by voters. Voters to pols: Give us jobs, results, not spats. With some 250 House Democrats and 16 Senate Democrats who will be up for re-election, this piece warns these candidates to take notice of these financial concerns, or else voters will give them the boot.
I have a problem with this view. It assumes, despite all the media coverage about the recession and unemployment, that Washington is oblivious. I am certainly not one to shift what I like to call the "burden of truth" away from politicians. But this viewpoint goes too far in its assumption that they are ignorant, illiterate, and isolated from reality (a view that I do not generally dispute). Nearly 16 million people cannot find jobs and employers have shed jobs across most industries. Currently unemployment is at 10.2%, with predictions it will reach 10.5% next year. Even I, the quintessential cynic, cannot imagine a congressman waking up to this news, scratching his head, and saying bemusedly, "The economy?"
One thought-provoking analysis, however, relates to conservative democrats. If they get the hint from the November 3, 2009 election results, they may design campaign platforms based on fiscal and social conservatism. This podcast provides more insight on this angle as to this week's changing of the guard.

Hey guys; it's me Antonisx007Gr . Just writing ANOTHER Creepypasta! Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
I was just sitting in my room. It was a normal day. But I had the feeling something will go wrong. Even a little tiny thing can ruin my day. I was speechless. I was just sitting on my bed. Nothing to do. My friend Riley kept calling me to come outside and play. But I couldn't; something told me to stay inside. Anytime she called me, I would say: "Why don't you get it Riley? Right now isn't the time." she would always reply "Why?". Although I should've felt bad, I didn't.
I knew I couldn't go outside. I would be harmed. I decided to go to my computer. When I got on ROBLOX I saw that I had a message. I read it. All it was telling me to stay inside, bad things will happen if I go outside. I took this as a way to stay inside all day. I saw a game and I played it. I never caught what it was called though.
When I joined I was forced to die; a billion times, or at least it felt like that. I found a way to NOT die, and when I did, I heard a scream from outside. I didn't bother to go check, I had to stay on the computer. I then heard loud cries of help. Then I realized, they were coming from my game. My eyes widened as I looked at the screen. Riley; the girl I mentioned earlier, joined the game.
She kept putting in the chat "Come outside Sam! I'm scared!". I then put in the chat "Why don't you get it Riley? Not Right Now!". I decided to start ignoring her. While I played the game, a big hoard of zombies came at me. I just walked away from them. I mean, they're just zombies! After a while they went after my friend.
I didn't care, now that I look back at it, I feel like a jerk! After the zombies went after Riley, I left the game. She didn't talk to me for a while but I told I'm sorry and stuff like that. I played the game again, but it was a lot worse. Instead of zombies, was blocky people covered in dead, RATS. I mean, disgusting! But whatever. I also kept hearing louder, bloodcurdling, screeches. I think I also heard "spooky scary skeletons" blast in the background.
Well, That's my story. Be careful. You might come across this game as well.
Well,this day was a rollercoaster. I didn't think much of it. Other than the steady nightmares slowly driving me to madness, it was fine. Well anyway, I hope I don't ever have to play that game ever again. My friend Riley is still kinda pissed at me. Eh, she'll get over it eventually. I still have one question... Why didn't she get it?

Article Title
The reporting of gains and losses on the stock of cooperatives has been a pressing issue in many farm communities as value-added cooperatives and other cooperatives have failed or merged with cancellation of patronage equities. In many instances, the question is the proper characterization of the equity interest relinquished by the patron and whether losses are ordinary losses or capital losses.

Screening by virtual colonoscopy is just as effective and potentially safer than traditional screening methods for older patients at risk of colorectal cancer, according to a new report from the American College of Radiology.
Researchers from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health looked at the use of "computed tomographic colonography" (CTC) in 577 elderly patients for their study. During the study, researchers discovered that the colonoscopy referral rate was 15.3%, which is slightly lower than other Medicare-covered colorectal cancer screening exams. Also, the percentage of patients receiving workups on extracolonic findings was quite reasonable—only 7.8%, according to the report.
CTC is a safer alternative for seniors, as well, the results of the study suggest. Complications such as colon perforation were not associated with the procedure. The report appears in the February issue of the journal Radiology.

Local Scór na nÓg talent is Derry bound
February 18, 2013
Three local acts will be chasing All-Ireland glory next Saturday 23rd February in the final of the 2012/2013 All-Ireland Scór na nÓg in Derry City.
The proud ambassadors of south Armagh set to showcase their talents at the final of the prestigious competition, which celebrates Ireland's traditional pastimes and culture, are: the Cullyhanna Novelty Act, Mullaghbawn Solo Singer Emily Shields and the Whitecross Ceilidh Dancers.
The eight committed young gaels who make up the Whitecross Ceili Dancers team are representing Armagh and Ulster, and have already beaten off stiff competition to win the 2013 Armagh and Ulster Scor Na nOg titles. Ciara Murphy, Ciara Bannon, Ciara Savage, Dearbhla O'Hanlon, Aveen McGuinness, Amy Bannon and Aoife Malone were narrowly pipped at the post for the All-Ireland crown last year so are hoping to go all the way to win the All-Ireland title next Saturday.
"There has been a long tradition of ceilidh dancing in Whitecross and we are absolutely delighted with the success our dancers have had to date. They are excellent ambassadors for our club," comments newly elected Chairman of Whitecross GFC, Phelim McGuinness.
"The girls have dedicated an unbelievable amount of time and effort to reach this stage but we also have to recognise the commitment of their families who have supported them throughout and the excellent teaching provided by Eamonn O'Malley from the Rooney O'Malley School of Dance who has had a long association with Whitecross GFC."
The team were given a great send off in their quest for glory, with a hugely successful night of "Music, Dance and Craic" held last Saturday at St Killian's Hall, and they will be further buoyed by a band of supporters on the day.
Mullaghbawn finalist, Emily Shields has been steadily building up her profile as a major talent in Mullaghbawn ever since she first recorded "Christmas in Ireland" for the 'What's the Scor?' CD in 2007 to support the local GAA. Her recording of Pie Jesu for St Paul's charitable fund in 2011 was greeted with much acclaim on Youtube with over 6,000 hits and last year Emily reached the final of Feis and Blood with her version of 'Nella Fantasia'.
However 2012-2013 has already proved to be the year that Emily has finally been recognised for her talents in Scor with County and Provincial titles under her belt and a recording of Scor Encore still to be aired on TG4 on April 14th at 8pm.
Talented Emily approaches the final with the full support of Cu Chulainn CLG behind her, and around 35 supporters will make the journey to Derry next Saturday to cheer on their club ambassador in her quest for the All-Ireland title.
All-Ireland glory also beckons for the Cullyhanna Novelty Act who have enjoyed great success so far this year, claiming the Ulster Final for the first time in the club's history. Having also won the County title four times, the All-Ireland accolade would be the jewel in the crown of this club's success.
The Novelty Act's eight strong cast consists of Oran Murray, Colm Donnelly, Niamh Brennan, Dermot Savage, Mary Donnelly, Sinead Brennan, Caoimhe McParland and Diarmuid Brecknell. They have delighted audiences with their original play which centres around the cutting down of a fairy tree.
Marie Hoey, Cullyhanna Committee member, heralds the young act's achievement as "absolutely magnificent. We couldn't be more proud of all those involved."
Marie also pays tribute to the hard work of her fellow committee members; Margaret Donnelly, who wrote and produced the play, Bernie Donnelly, who also helped produce the play and Karen Murray.
"The committee has been a great source of help and support over the years," says Marie, "and we must acknowledge the inspirational input we've received from Peter Murphy, the Irish Cultural officer for Armagh."
"There's a great feeling about this year and a huge amount of followers will travel to Derry on Saturday to show their support for this fantastic group of young people."
The Examiner would like to wish all three local competitors the very best of luck in next Saturday's All-Ireland Scor Na nOg final and congratulate all for their success in promoting Irish tradition and culture in south Armagh.
