Laser Liposuction
Laser liposuction is a new procedure that is used to improve the effectiveness of the older liposuction technique. Traditional liposuction uses a cannula, or tube, inserted under the skin through an incision to suction away unwanted fat cells. Liquid is injected at the site to that is receiving the liposuction to help soften the fat. However, physical force is still required to remove the fat cells as the cannula is fairly vigorously moved around the surgical area. It is essentially this force that breaks up the fat and allows it to be removed. Unfortunately, not only fat is removed, but anything that is in the path of the cannula is removed as well.

Epione Weight Loss Testimonial
Taken from Patients' Testimonials.
When I meet Yolanda at Epione. I had been looking for someone who could help me for a long time. I have food allergies, was told I had Hyperglycemia, and was so frustrated. I have been working with Yolanda for 7 weeks and have already lost 11 pounds.
I can't say enough about her program.
When I started the program I knew it was different.
I did not want a DIET. I wanted to loose weight by being educated on how to eat right.
Her program looks at you as an individual. The best thing is Yolanda goes above and beyond what anyone else would do. She is always available and she helps you address the real reason why you put the weight on. It is hard to loose weight with no support. With Yolanda you have that support. It is worth every penny and more!
No frozen pre-fixed meals, no pills that have side effects. Real ways to watch how you eat, find out why, and learn how to make smarter choices! That way, "I" can control keeping it off!

Liposuction Basics
Liposuction is the removal of fat from certain areas of the body. This procedure can be done anywhere from the abdomen to the knees. For those who have attempted to diet and exercise, liposuction can help get rid of stubborn fat deposits that cannot otherwise be eliminated. It can be done alone or in combination with other procedures, such as breast reductions or tummy tucks. It can also be done in more than one area at once. Liposuction goes by many names. It is known as lipoplasty, laser assisted liposuction, or ultrasound assisted lipoplasty.
The Numbers
According to statistics compiled by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), liposuction was the number one cosmetic procedure performed on both genders in 2007. 456, 828 of these were performed during that year. This is an increase of 158.3% since 1997.
What Happens during a Liposuction
The surgeon's first step is to mark the areas where fat will be removed. This is done using a magic marker or Sharpie. These markings will help the surgeon plan the procedure for best results.
Liposuction is often performed under general anesthesia though a local anesthesia can be used in some instances. Epidural blocks and intravenous sedation are also options. The anesthesiologist will work with the plastic surgeon in order to determine the best type of anesthesia for you. They will also consider the length of the surgery, and where on the body the surgery is being performed.
The area in which liposuction is being performed is filled with a fluid solution. The solution contains saline, a saltwater blend, and epinephrine, which helps prevent blood loss. The solution also contains a local anesthetic. There are a number of different types of solutions available. The biggest difference is the amount of fluid in each. The first solution, also known as the wet technique, uses 100-300 mL of fluid in each site. This lessens the amount of blood that is sectioned out to 20–25%. The second solution, also called the super wet technique, uses an amount of fluid that is equal to the amount of fat removed. Less than 1% of blood is lost using this solution. The last solution uses 3 to 6 times more fluid than the second solution. This is called the tumescent technique. This technique is not always popular, because some say that it interferes with the surgeon's ability to sculpt the remaining skin. Critics also say that this technique can cause potential overload of fluids and may result in an overdose of anesthetic. Surgeons did not always use solutions during liposuction. When they did not, the surgery resulted in a great deal of blood loss and bruising.
Getting the Fat Out
At last, the fat is removed. There are many different ways to remove this. The first is traditional liposuction, via suction. A cannula is inserted through an incision in the skin to vacuum up the fat cells. The surgeon moves the cannula back-and-forth to break up the fat layer and remove it. In ultrasound liposuction, the surgeon inserts a cannula through specially placed incisions. Sound waves are played through the cannula, which helped break up the fat layer. A more updated version of this technique is called vaser assisted liposuction. This procedure uses gentler sound waves to break up the fat. The bonus to this procedure is that it does not damage blood vessels and nerves, or connective tissue. This means that the patient suffers less from bruising, swelling and pain. Power assisted liposuction uses a cannula with a motor in it to break up the fatty tissue. Laser assisted lipo uses lasers to liquefy the fat; proponents say that it leads to tighter skin, while critics say it does nothing new except add to the cost. They also feel that it can make the entire procedure harder to deal with for both the patient and the doctor. Body jet liposuction uses water to loosen the fat from the connective tissue and vacuum it out at the same time. Since it loosens the fat cells rather than destroys or breaks them apart, it is less traumatic to the body and may even have a shorter recovery time. Also, the fat and water are removed immediately, which means the doctor can tell if more lipo is needed in the area. The procedure can be used to harvest fat for transfer to other areas that may need it. Body jet liposuction falls under the same anesthesia requirements as the other methods, but more research is needed to determine all of the risks and benefits.
Cannulas—Size Does Matter
The cannula, the long, hollow tube used to remove fat, is usually about 3 millmeters in diameter. In the past, they have been as large as 12 millimeters. The smaller the cannula, the less damage is dome to surrounding tissues. This means a faster healing time, and less brusing and bleeding. Ask the doctor about his choice in cannulas during your initial visit.
To Sum It All Up…
Most surgeons prefer general anesthesia for liposuction, except for the smallest removals. The super wet technique is also used, unless the traditional technique is chosen. In the case of the latter, aspiration is preferred. The surgeon picks the cannula according to the area that is being treated. Vaser is the preferred method for ultrasound treatment. The amount of time for the surgery is dependent upon the size of the area being treated; a large area can take as long as five hours, but a small one can take as little as 30 minutes. Multiple areas can take more time as well.
Who Gets Lipo?
The first step is choosing a licensed plastic surgeon for your consultation. The surgeon should ask about your medical history (this includes all medicines), your weight, whether you have ever had any sudden weight gains or losses, and your plans for weight loss before the surgery. The surgeon will also discuss realistic expectations for your results.
The ideal candidates are of normal weight but have fat deposits that cannot be removed with regular diet and exercise. Firm and elastic skin tone are a must, since lipo will not remedy sagging skin. Older patients tend to lack this skin tone, so the results are less than ideal.
Getting Ready For Surgery
Your surgeon will give you instructions to prepare you for your surgery. There may be rules on eating and drinking, and you must not smoke 30 days beforehand. Doing so would increase the possibility of risks during surgery. Certain medications, such as aspirin and NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), may increase the chance of bleeding and should not be used before surgery. Go over a list of all your medications and determine which ones must be discontinued. Never stop taking any medicine without discussing it with your surgeon and the prescribing doctor.
After the Lipo
Your suctioned areas will be swollen and uncomfortable for several days afterward. To help drainage, small incisions may be left open for a short period of time and tubes may be inserted. Your surgeon may give you an antibiotic as well to help avoid infection. The treatment area will be covered with a bandage. To help compress tissue and lessen bruises and swelling, you may wear support hose or a girdle. This may continue for several days or weeks.
Movement after surgery is encouraged to lessen the chance of blood clots. This can happen after being sedentary for long periods of time. In a few days, you may return to your normal activities. Some can return sooner, if their lipo was not done across an extended area. Strenuous activity may not be done for at least three weeks. You may not be able to see complete results for up to six months, but providing your weight remains stable, they are permanent. Some patients have been known to see results as soon as one week afterward; it depends on how little swelling and bruising took place.
Risks for lipo include
- Fluid imbalance. Fat tissue can hold a lot of liquid. When the fat is removed, the liquid is removed as well. Some of this is put back during tumescent liposuction, but there is often a great deal of excess. This fluid imbalance can create heart problems, lung problems, or kidney issues. In particular, the kidneys are responsible for excreting fluid, so they may become overtaxed by the effort.
- Puncture wounds in tissue or organs
- Shock or infection
- Blood clots in the lung
- Hematoma (pooling blood in the suctioned areas)
- Temporary loss of feeling or discoloration in the treated area
- Uneveness, dimpling, wrinkling and other irregularities over the area
- Reaction to anesthesia
- Swelling
- Burns (most common in ultrasound and laser assisted lipo)
- Death
Patients with medical conditions such as diabetes or poor circulation are most likely to suffer from these risks. Those who have had surgery in the same area as the liposuction may also experience these side effects. You and your surgeon should address these during the initial consultation.
Liposuction surgery – Shaping your body to perfection
Liposuction surgery, also called lipoplasty or liposculpture, is a surgical procedure during which, small fat areas in your body are being removed. These areas of fat are usually found on your neck, upper arms, abdomen, buttocks, hips and thighs, and cannot be removed with exercises or a diet and therefore are surgically treated.

Waiting for Weight Loss
The general consensus for weight loss is that losing it in the stomach area is easiest. Weight in the hips and thighs, however, is more difficult. Estrogen plays a major role in how much fat is stored in various spots on the female body, and women are naturally designed to do so on their hips and thighs. In addition, as we get older, metabolism starts to slow down. Around age 25, it begins to slow by 5 to 10% with each subsequent decade. Combined with the power of estrogen and the lack of physical exercise, losing weight becomes very difficult as we get older.
Menopause can also affect our bodies, in more than one way. Those of us who are naturally slim may discover that they are starting to lose their waistlines. And no matter how much exercise you do, nothing will redistribute that body fat.
Women in particular tend to gain weight in their backs, leading to things like bra bulges or love handles. Liposuction can be done in this area, but it tends to be difficult for two reasons. One, the fat is kept in place by fibrous connective tissue. The doctor must be careful not to destroy a great deal of tissue while getting rid of the fat, so more time must be invested in this area. In fact, many doctors have a special treatment specifically for the back. In general, due to the difficulties in treating back fat, anyone who undergoes the procedure should have realistic expectations.

Well, this is encouraging. The Forest Service managed to scrape up some more firefighting aircraft this year. Even more would be better, but . . .
As the Obama administration pushes Congress to ensure that enough money is available to fight destructive wildfires, the U.S. Forest Service announced Tuesday it was adding four aircraft to its firefighting fleet ahead of what's expected to be another hot, dry summer in the West.
In a statement, the service said it will have a second DC10 and three smaller planes in service in the coming weeks to support over 10,000 firefighters "in the face of what is shaping up to be a catastrophic fire season in the southwest."
The Forest Service expects to exceed this year's budget in July, two months before this fiscal year ends. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack discussed 2015 budget proposals by the administration Tuesday in Colorado, where deadly fires in 2012 and 2013 destroyed hundreds of homes.

Alicon Castalloy Limited
362 kWp and 600 kWp
14 Lakh Units
1200 Tons
Sunshot has installed solar power plants at 2 locations of Alicon – Alicon Castalloy at Pune and Atlas Castalloy at Chinchwad.
- The company is in the business of manufacturing parts for leading automobiles in the country. The manufacturing process requires a large amount of power consumption. To cut down on the cost of power, they wanted to install the rooftop solar power plant.
- At both the facilities, the system has been installed on rooftops. The factory's metal sheet roof, as well as RCC rooftops of office buildings are used. We have covered almost all the roofs to generate power.
- Both the systems together generate more than 2000 units of electricity on a bright sunny day.
- The solar plants are monitored online. Sunshot's proprietary system ensures that the data acquired from inverters and weather station is stored in a cloud network, and is monitored by the client to evaluate various performance parameters. It is also used for conducting preventive maintenance activities.

Splinting is one part of many in treating a hand problem. We will focus on the splinting aspect, however it is important to always consult a professional to ensure splinting is approriate in each individual case.
Splinting Splinting
Mallet Splints
There are many designs of Mallet splints to treat drop fingers, but this is my favourite. Patients like them, they are easy and cost effective to make, they stay in place and allow for fluctuating swelling, common after injury.
To make these splints you need:
- Scissors
- Thin thermoplastic - I used 1.6mm Turbocast, but Orfit, Colourfit, Aquaplast or similar will work as well. The reason I like to use Turbocast is that is has a thin "furry" film on it, which allows some ventilation with less risk or maceration of the skin underneath. But just use off cuts of whatever you thermoplastic you can get your hands on for these small splints.
- Tape - Make sure it is non elastic. I made sure to cut this skin friendly tape length wise, which is the non-stretchy direction for this tape. Otherwise, any sports tape will work well too.
Cut the thermoplastic to fit the finger involved. Ensure that it does not cover more than halfway down the thickness of the finger, to allow for a snug fit. Less than halfway and it will not be strong enough. Heat and mould on the dorum of the finger. (Ensuring a good fit around the nailbed helps). Length wise it should finish just by the PIP joint, still allowing for PIP joint movement.
Next, apply tape to anchor the splint, starting off with the most distal tape, followed by the most proximal tape. Ask the patient to keep the finger tip on the table to avoid bending the DIP joint. Alternatively, the finger can be taped underneat the splint to begin with, to help keep the DIP joint in extension, and also to protect the skin under the splint.
Lastly apply the "bonus" tape on on the volar aspect of the finger tip, to ensure the splint stays on really well and the DIP joint is in full extension or slightly hyperextended.
That's it! Easy as that.
Encourage your patient to keep the finger dry, and if it gets wet, to take it off and dry the skin. Leaving the splint on wet can really get it mucky!
The tricky part is to not bend the DIP joint for a few weeks while the tendon heals.
Here is a pic of how to tape the finger under the splint, or after splint treatment, as an interim light support.

Guest post by DaveM
"All the warfare is based on deception, the battle is won by catching enemy off guards."
—Sun Tzu
"In war, truth is the first casualty."
On the 16 February Hizbullah held a ceremony in Beirut honouring its "martyred leaders"— namely Sayyed Abbas Al-Mousawi, Sheikh Ragheb Harb, and Hajj Imad Moghniyeh. It was the usual hour-long televised speech by Hassan Nasrallah on a big screen inside what looks like a large aircraft hangar.
However this time, in addition to his usual threats and cliches, he offered condolences over the death of Hassan Shateri (Hussam Khoshnevis), Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander and head of the Iranian Committee for Reconstruction in Lebanon, who was killed in Syria. The Saudi newspaper Asharq Alawsat reported that he sat on Hizbullah's central command and was behind re-arming the party after the 2006 war.
The circumstances of his death aren't clear and the unconfirmed reports of Hizbullah members in Syria fighting the rebels won't go away.
While Hizbullah make no secret of their support for Assad, they deny any involvement in fighting the rebels. However if members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards are in Syria, then Hizbullah must be there as well; they're basically the Lebanese branch of the IRGC.
As of yet there haven't been any Hizbullah fighters captured, so this is conjecture on my part. But it's only a matter of time before they are. In fact members of the Free Syria Army have been attempting to do just that, to prove the party's involvement in fighting on the side of Bashar Al Assad, as this video which was uploaded to YouTube on 16 February shows:
0:14: "These are the shells which have fallen on civilian's homes in the village of Abu Houri. We've been shelled by members of the Lebanese Hizbllat [i.e. Party of Fart] situated in the villages which they have occupied in Zaity (not clear) and Aqabia (not clear) and others.
"Just a moment ago the shells fell near by."
[Note: from now on I'll refer to Hizbollah/Hizbllat as HA]
5:07: "We're at the frontline in the clash against the Lebanese HA. As you can see, the rebels (are fighting with) light and medium weaponry (against) members of Lebanese HA."
5:26: "That's one of the members of Lebanese HA holding a machine gun. The injured or killed person who is carrying that weapon is in the trench which is only 20-30 metres away from us. The Lebanese HA are trying to… " (gunfire)
5:53: "We're in the front line fighting against the Lebanese HA. Thanks to God the Free Syrian Army set up an ambush for the Lebanese HA and killed no less than 12 of the soldiers of those HA dogs, and injured others. HA are trying to remove the bodies… (interuption)
"HA are trying to remove the bodies of those who were killed by the FSA ambush and the FSA are also trying to approach the bodies to get hold of them to show conclusive evidence of HA's intervention [in Syria].
"We're not able to get to the bodies to remove the right now, and they [HA] aren't able to remove the bodies either.
"The clashes are continuing and are violent. HA are responding by firing mortars and shells on civilian areas, not on FSA areas but on civilian homes and areas in the village of Abu Houri, Bourharni and .. (not clear)"
7:20: "The members taking part [in the clash] are the 4th Brigade in the Independent Farouk division in … and the Baraa Brigade affiliated to the Haq Brigade here."
Then the members of the FSA attempt to reach the HA bodies but are forced to retreat under intense fire. I think one of them is injured and another killed.
Most of the stuff which is said in the Middle East, especially in the Arabic media, has to be taken with a pinch of salt or totally discounted. But these reports of Hizbullah fighting in Syria won't go away and they fit a pattern.
MEMRI were among the first to pick up on this last October:
Then the BBC's Wyre Davis went looking for for answers.
There were also sporadic reports of Hizbullah members being buried after carrying out unspecified "Jihadist duties".
Former Syrian Prime Minister Riad Hijab recently said Syria was practically under Iranian occupation. The Washington Post reported that Hizbullah and Iran are forming militia networks inside Syria with the aim of preserving Assad's rule or, if he falls, maintaining Iranian influence in the country.
A senior Obama administration official cited Iranian claims that Tehran was backing as many as 50,000 militiamen in Syria. "It's a big operation," the official said. "The immediate intention seems to be to support the Syrian regime. But it's important for Iran to have a force in Syria that is reliable and can be counted on."
Iran's strategy, a senior Arab official agreed, has two tracks. "One is to support Assad to the hilt, the other is to set the stage for major mischief if he collapses."
The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.
Tehran's interest in preserving a Syrian base partly explains why the financially strapped Iranian government continues to lavish resources on groups such as Jaysh al-Sha'bi, an alliance of local Shiite and Alawite militias that receives weapons and cash from Iran, according to U.S. and Middle Eastern officials who have studied the organization. The groups are receiving military training from officers from Hezbollah and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
While ostensibly created to bolster Syria's battered, overstretched army, Jaysh fighters — separate from Syria's pro-regime shabiha, or "ghost," units, which are notorious for reprisal killings of suspected rebel sympathizers — are predominantly a sectarian fighting force overseen by Iranian and Hezbollah commanders.
Hizbullah certainly didn't hesitate to kill fellow Lebanese when it felt its interests were under threat. Four of its members are to be tried in absentia for the murder of Rafik Hariri
It's inconceivable that when one of its patrons is fighting for his very survival, they would not be doing whatever it takes to help keep him in power. If they didn't need him, they would have abandoned him as Hamas did and collected cheques from Qatar.
Hizbullah has done all it could to keep its deadly role in the Syrian conflict hidden. But as it intensifies, it's only a matter of time before it finally gets exposed.
Gene adds: Ahram reports:
Two Lebanese Shiites have been killed in fighting in Syria, a Hezbollah official said Sunday, as the opposition accused the Shiite militant group of intervening on the side of its regime allies.
"Two Lebanese Shiites living in Syria were killed and 14 others wounded in clashes with rebels," the official told AFP on condition of anonymity, adding that they were acting in "self-defence".
Update: al-gharqad writes in the comments:
A small correction: "Hizballat" is a wordplay. Instead of "Party of Allah", the Sunni rebels say Hizb Al-Lat, because Al-Lat was a god worshiped in the Jahiliyya. So it is basically saying that Hizbullah are the bad guys, fighting for Al-Lat.

The greatest struggle of your life,
for which all your other struggles are mere preparation,
is to truly love yourself exactly as you are.
is to truly love yourself exactly as you are.
--- Anthony Silard
Life's greatest struggle does not require you to reach a financial goal, or achieve a certain measure of status, or even to find the right partner or raise healthy children. It requires you to love yourself unconditionally.
Sound simple? It's not. It means loving even the parts of yourself that you perceive as undesirable, or unlovable, or those of which you are ashamed.
It means to love these parts as much as every other part, and to know you are the only person who will ever love and accept you with no preconditions, clauses or requirements.
Reflect for a moment on where you are struggling in your life. Are you fed up with a dead-end job that no longer motivates you? Are you in a relationship with someone who shows up physically but not emotionally? Do you feel drained and distraught around some members of your family?
Take a step back for a moment from all the actors on your stage: they are mere reflections of your self-image.
Do the hard work of cultivating your love for yourself. Confront the mental barriers that obstruct your self-love—your inner critic that mutters, "I can't believe you did this," or "You would be something if only you were able to do that."
Silence this voice and attune to the other, stronger voice that believes in you.

AKIPRESS.COM - Alabama lawmakers have passed a bill to outlaw abortion outright in the state, set to be the strictest such US law, BBC reports.
The state Senate approved the law by 25 votes to six, rejecting exemptions for cases of rape or incest.
It will now go to Republican Governor Kay Ivey. She has not said whether she will sign it, but she is seen as a strong opponent of abortion.
Activists hope it will challenge a landmark 1973 Supreme Court ruling that legalised abortion in the US.
The bill had been passed 74-3 earlier this month in Alabama's House of Representatives.
Abortion would only be allowed in certain circumstances to safeguard the mother's health.

It seems that on my HTC Hero not all of the landscape features are fully rendered. The foreground hills and such that the pigs are on are just plain white. This makes it very hard sometimes to really see what all the obstacles are. I noticed this in the beta version and assumed it would be fixed in the full version but I guess not.
Is this something that can be fixed with a re-install or is this just a bug with the Hero? I can't be the only one with this problem (I hope)
I'm trying to backup Angry Birds settings and hi-scores using Android Debugging Bridge. The command:
adb pull /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files/highscores.lua C:ab_highscores.lua
works perfectly for Angry Birds original. It is also pretty obvious how to get savegames from Rio and Seasons. Now, what is the path for Space? The most obvious one, "angrybirdsspace" is giving me error "Remote object not found". Alternatively, how can I list content of /data/data folder? I think it's not possible with ADB.
When I first installed the "Angry Birds" game, it worked fine. It still works fine, with one issue. A couple of weeks ago, it started having popup ads from Admob in the upper right corner of the screen. They stay several seconds, then disappear, and then reappear a short time after, and the cycle repeats. I wouldn't mind ads, after all the game was free. But it's right in the spot you need to see most to play the game. Is there a way to disable these ads? Or at least move them to the lower left corner?View 10 Replies View Related

For Cloud Run for Anthos on Google Cloud, in order for the domain mappings to work, you need to either use the managed TLS certificates feature or supply your own certificates.
You can map multiple custom domains to the same Cloud Run service.
Before you begin
Purchase a new domain, unless you already have one that you want to use. You can use any domain name registrar, but if you use Google Domains, the domain is automatically verified for Cloud Run, so you won't have to go through the domain verification process.
Mapping a custom domain to a service
You can use the
gcloud command line to map a custom domain to
a service.
If you are using Cloud Run for Anthos on Google Cloud, you cannot yet use the console to create domain mappings: instead, use the command line.
If you are using Cloud Run (fully managed) visit the Cloud Run domain mappings page:
Domain mappings page
Note that if your display window is too small, if you navigate to the Domain Mappings page from the main Cloud Run page, the Mapping Custom Domains button isn't displayed: you have to click the 3-dot vertical ellipse icon at the right of the page.
In the Domain Mappings page, click Add Mapping.
From the dropdown list in the Add Mapping form, select the service you are mapping the custom domain to:
Enter the domain name.
Click Continue.
For Cloud Run (fully managed), you will need to verify the ownership of a domain before being able to use it, unless you purchased your domain from Google. If you want to map
subdomain.example.com, you should verify ownership of
example.com. For more information on verifying domain ownership, refer to Webmaster Central help
Update your DNS records at your domain registrar web site using the DNS records displayed in the last step. You can display the records at any time by clicking DNS Records in the "..." action menu for a domain mapping.
Click Done.
Command line
For Cloud Run (fully managed) only, you must verify domain ownership the first time you use that domain in the Google Cloud project, unless you purchased your custom domain from Google. You can determine whether the custom domain you want to use has been verified by using the command
gcloud domains list-user-verified
If your ownership of the domain needs to be verified, open the Webmaster Central verification page:
gcloud domains verify BASE-DOMAIN
BASE-DOMAINis the base domain you want to verify. For example, if you want to map
subdomain.example.com, you should verify the ownership of
In Webmaster Central, complete domain ownership verification. For more information, refer to Webmaster Central help.
Map your service to the custom domain:
gcloud beta run domain-mappings create --service SERVICE --domain DOMAIN
- Replace
SERVICEwith your service name.
- Replace
DOMAINwith your custom domain, for example,
- Replace
If you are using Cloud Run for Anthos on Google Cloud, reserve the IP address attached to the Load Balancer for the Istio ingress gateway service as a static IP:
gcloud compute addresses create ADDRESS-NAME --addresses EXTERNAL-IP --region REGION
ADDRESS-NAMEwith the name you want to give your static IP.
EXTERNAL-IPwith the IP address in the
Arecord you obtained. in the previous step using
gcloud run domain-mapping describe.
REGIONwith the region you are using. (Not the cluster zone.)
Cloud Run Istio ingress gatewayTo get the external IP for the Istio ingress gateway:
kubectl get svc ISTIO-GATEWAY -n NAMESPACEReplace ISTIO-GATEWAY and NAMESPACE as follows:
|Cluster version
1.15.3-gke.19 and greater
1.14.3-gke.12 and greater
1.13.10-gke.8 and greater
|All other versions
where the resulting output looks something like this:
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) ISTIO-GATEWAY LoadBalancer XX.XX.XXX.XX pending 80:32380/TCP,443:32390/TCP,32400:32400/TCP
The EXTERNAL-IP for the Load Balancer is the IP address you must use.
Add your DNS records at your domain registrar
After you've mapped your service to a custom domain in Cloud Run, you need to update your DNS records at your domain registrar. As a convenience, Cloud Run generates and displays the DNS records you need to enter. You must add these records that point to the Cloud Run service at your domain registrar for the mapping to go into effect.
Retrieve the DNS record information for your domain mappings using:
Go to the Cloud Run domain mappings page:
Domain mappings page
Click the 3-dot vertical ellipse icon to the right of your service, then click DNS RECORDS to display all the DNS records:
Command line
gcloud beta run domain-mappings describe --domain [DOMAIN]
[DOMAIN]with your custom domain, for example,
You need all of the records returned under the heading
Log in to your account at your domain registrar and then open the DNS configuration page.
Locate the host records section of your domain's configuration page and then add each of the resource records that you received when you mapped your domain to your Cloud Run service.
When you add each of the above DNS records to the account at the DNS provider:
- Select the type returned in the DNS record in the previous step:
A, or
AAAA, or
- Use the name
wwwto map to
- Use the name
@to map
- Select the type returned in the DNS record in the previous step:
Save your changes in the DNS configuration page of your domain's account. In most cases, it takes only a few minutes for these changes to take effect, but in some cases it can take up to several hours, depending on the registrar and the Time-To-Live (TTL) of any previous DNS records for your domain. You can use a
digtool, such as this online
digversion, to confirm the DNS records have been successfully updated.
Test for success by browsing to your service at its new URL, for example
https://www.example.com. Note that it can take several minutes for the managed SSL certificate to be issued.
Adding verified domain owners to other users or service accounts
When a user verifies a domain, that domain is only verified to that user's account. This means that only that user can add more domain mappings that use that domain. So, to enable other users to add mappings that use that domain, you must add them as verified owners.
If you need to add verified owners of your domain to other users or service accounts, you can add permission through the Webmaster Central page:
Navigate to this address in your web browser:
Under Properties, click the domain for which you want to add a user or service account.
Scroll down to the Verified owners list, click Add an owner, and then enter a Google Account email address or service account ID.
To view a list of your service accounts, open the Service Accounts page in the Cloud Console:
Base path mapping: not supported
The term base path refers to the URL path name that is after the domain name.
For example,
users is the base path of
example.com/users. Cloud Run
only allows you to map a domain to
/, not to a specific
base path. So any path routing has to be handled by using a router inside the
service's container or by using
Firebase Hosting.

The Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ) plans to improve the high-speed internet coverage in different regions of the province during their current mandate as the Quebec government. When asked about the CAQ's plan for the Outaouais region, Robert Bussière said the goal was to put in place adequate digital infrastructures in all regions of Quebec.
It should be noted that the CAQ government plans to invest an additional $ 400 million over the next four years to improve Internet coverage, $ 3.5 million of which was granted to the Municipality of Cantley during the announcement Monday afternoon in the presence of the MNA for Orford and Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of the Economy and Innovation, Gilles Bélanger, MP for Pontiac, William Amos, and MNA for Gatineau Robert Bussière.

YANGON (AFP) - Search teams on Tuesday (Nov 24) said they had given up hope of finding survivors from a landslide in north Myanmar's jade mining heartland as they scoured for bodies from a disaster that left more than 100 dead.
It is one of the deadliest incidents to hit Hpakant in war-torn Kachin state, the hub of a billion-dollar jade trade that enriches a shadowy elite while destroying the local environment and social structure.
Scores of mainly itinerant prospectors were buried as they slept in makeshift tents when a towering mound of waste earth dumped by mining firms suddenly collapsed early Saturday (Nov 21) morning.
Recovery teams including the army, police and local community organisations have pulled 113 bodies from the rubble. Only one man was found alive on Saturday (Nov 21) , but died soon after of his injuries.
Dashi Naw Lawn of the Kachin Network Development Foundation, which is helping the search efforts, said no further survivors were expected.
"We are seeing only dead people," he told AFP, adding that recovery operations continued at the site Tuesday with potentially dozens of people still missing.
Authorities could not confirm the number of people who were searching for jade at the time of the landslide.
But the state-backed Global New Light of Myanmar Tuesday (Nov 24) quoted local officials as estimating another 30 bodies could still be buried.
It said the area had been designated "high risk" by authorities, who now plan to relocate a further 70 miner huts that have been built in the shadow of other waste mountains.
Myanmar is the world's primary source of the finest jadeite, a near-translucent green stone that is highly sought after in neighbouring China, where demand is surging as incomes rise.
The highest quality Myanmar jade is known by its Chinese admirers as "stone of heaven" or "imperial jade" because it was historically a preserve of the elite and is thought to possess a wealth of virtuous properties, including bringing its owner good health.
Jade values depend on the quality and craftsmanship of each individual piece, with raw chunks of the precious stone imported to China and Hong Kong where they are carved into jewellery and trinkets that can fetch anything between a few dollars to hundreds of thousands.
Mining firms linked to former junta figures, the military elite and cronies are thought to be raking in huge profits from the trade, which has dramatically expanded in recent years despite reforms under a new quasi-civilian regime.
Advocacy group Global Witness estimates the jade industry was worth some $31 billion in 2014 alone - a sum far exceeding the US$3.4 billion (S$4.8 billion) official sales as most of the best quality jade is thought to be smuggled directly into China.
The area, once thickly covered in forest, is now ringed with naked hills and pocked with huge craters as large scale mining transforms the landscape.
Access to Hpakant is barred to nearly all foreigners, while the road into the area is an almost impassable mud track lined with army checkpoints and the huge orange trucks of the jade firms.
But it is a magnet to impoverished migrants from across Myanmar who flock to the area in the hope that they will strike rich.

I totally overslept this morning so was making Hagbard's lunch very quickly. I didn't even have time to make coffee!
I had visions of doing a box with some rice balls and rolled omelet today but it was not to be. Today Hagbard has a pbj sandwich, ravioli, dried fruit, cheese, and some noodles with peanut sauce. He has a class tonight and won't get home until around 10 PM so hopefully it is enough.
Tonight I will make pizza for dinner.

Facebook is one of the social media sites that have actually become the most used advertising platform for most of the businesses across the world. In fact, eleven million people make use this site every 18 minutes. Large businesses have distanced themselves from the traditional types of advertising and are therefore battling for the new customers on Facebook. As a matter of facts, it's much easier and cheaper to create a Facebook page with a dynamic content when compared to the traditional ways of promoting your business that could be more expensive.
"Your Facebook account should be your primary website since it showcases the philosophy of your business," said Issa Asad, Florida-based CEO and entrepreneur for over 18 years. Mr. Asad is also the CEO of Bond Media, Q Link Wireless, and Quadrant Holdings, all located in South Florida.
A well-designed Facebook page is not just how it looks but how it behaves. A perfect design can help you to stand out in the ever-competitive market. Follow these 3 steps to make an effective Facebook business page.
1. Nail Your Cover Photo
The cover photo is usually the focal point for every type of business on Facebook. It enhances the visual appeal of your business as well as luring fans and your followers on this site. This increases the brand value as well. A cover photo is normally the first thing that users get to note once they visit your company's page. However, creating a cover photo that catches the attention of the users may sometimes be tedious. Some of the guidelines and policies that are set by Facebook for the cover photos include:
- You shouldn't include special characters or special terms like #, @.
- You shouldn't include superfluous descriptions or qualifiers that aren't necessary.
- Don't exceed your text above 20% of the image.
- Don't mislead the followers by incorrect or even deceptive content.
In addition, the profile pictures and cover photos should be 180 x 180 and 851 x 315 pixels respectively. Cover photos must take up about a quarter of the screen on most the desktops. The following are the golden rules of the cover photos:
- Right focus over the left focus; try to keep the call–to-action buttons on the right hand corner of the Facebook cover photo.
- Synchronize cover photo with your profile photo.
- Pin the post right below the cover photo. This makes the post more relevant and also interesting.
2. Customize Your Tabs
The new design of Facebook puts photos, likes as well the application below the cover photo. In fact, the first spot in the layout is normally reserved for photos while the rest may be adjusted through the panel of the admin. You can use this opportunity to simply highlight your exceptional selling proposition via these tabs.
3. Pin, Star, or Hide
When you hover the mouse over the timeline entries, it shows a drop-down menu whereby you get an option to pin a certain post. Pin is a feature that helps you to show your intended content or post above the other timeline posts. Additionally, you can highlight the post that you like by simply putting a star on it. Also, the time limit allocated to keep the post pinned is about seven days.

Friendship Tree
Friendship Tree
First her son
Then her husband
Both died suddenly
At times
So lost and sad
She felt she'd cease to be
With each death
More fruit fell
From the fragile friendship tree
Once luxurious
Almost nothing left to see
She wondered
Why the friendship fruit
Dropped on fallowed ground
Thought maybe with time
They'd blossom anew
Rotting fruit was all she found
Then her health deteriorated
Breathing more difficult
As her body slowed
More fruit
Fell from branches
Withered fruit was all that showed
Ah well she thought
That's how it is
I've still a few fruit to treasure
With help
I'll plant a new tree
Fresh blossom brings much pleasure
Replanted friendship tree
Much stronger
Nestled in nutrient filled soil
She was peaceful and content
Knowing her new
Friendship fruit wouldn't spoil
She still doesn't understand
Why so much fruit
Rotted on the ground
These days
She's filled with gratitude
For the new friendship tree she has found
Tricia 5/2014
Written in response to the following prompt. Thanks Pooky and Peter for leading the way.
Posted on May 27, 2014, in Poems. Bookmark the permalink. 16 Comments.
This is strikingly beautiful, painful, poignant and there's a tiny infusion of "hope". I love it.
dear Tricia,
you may never see this response, but just in case you do, I want to let you know how deeply sorry I am for the deaths of your Dear Son and your Dear Husband, I stumbled upon your blog recently, and found both your poetry and prose so compelling – I now have read every post up to this one.
my husband died 18 mos. ago of a rare cancer. two years into his illness, just after his 2nd stem cell transplant, I was diagnosed with ST IV metastatic breast cancer. my Beloved willed himself well to do all he was able to be at my side during treatment. after 8 mos.we both were deemed in remission – NED, no evidence of disease. we decided to live life re-invented, and the savor every moment of every day; we travelled, our love and our lives never tasted sweeter. just 9 mos. later, I suddenly awoke, and found myself catapulted to my husband's side of our bed – my Dearest Love had died in his sleep right next to me. just a tiny cluster of cells in his brain that went undetected, located in lethal position had the power to stop his heart and end his life. I still cannot believe he is gone and the road of grief has been a torturous and long nightmare.
just 8 weeks after my husband's sudden death, I was diagnosed with another cancer – uterine with mets to the cervix. the utter shock, the horrible terror of going through 9 months of hellacious treatment alone, without my precious husband, my best friend, my lover, my soul mate of nearly 46 years, still reeling with the awful loss and all of the "business of death" sent me into automatic pilot mode. I went through the motions like an automaton, and only for the sake of my children and grandchildren who were still so grief-stricken and had suffered so much with both parents and grandparents having had cancer at the same time, then losing their father and papa. except for those dear ones, I had no will to live and often begged my Darling to please, just come get me. I am now in remission with both cancers – I will be in treatment with breast cancer for the rest of my life – there is no cure for ST IV metastatic breast cancer.
this is all to say that the poem you have written has resonated so loud and clear with me. I have often thought I could be someone's worst nightmare. and it has come to pass. the pain and sorrow of loss of friends on top of the losses of the loves of our lives is a cruel reality. we simply do not have a very good grip on the language of grief, the words, the actions, the consolation of what to do, what to say…and the expectations placed upon us to "get over it", to put on a fake face to assuage the discomfort of people who are clueless about our suffering is stultifying and only adds to the enormous sorrow we must bear as we work through our grief and try to find our "after" life.
but I have found that my friendship tree has also blossomed with such gorgeous bonds of people I have had the good fortune to meet and been welcomed with such understanding, such empathy, such compassion. and the beautiful friendships that have stayed intact have grown, have flourished with such abundance of love and attentiveness. I try to do whatever I am able to speak out about the language of grief.
once, a woman I only knew casually sat next to me and held my hand. she said, "I want you to know that I am so very sorry for your loss, but I don't know what to say or how to help you. What can I do for you?" my answer was, "you have already done something for me in asking your question, and it is so profoundly appreciated." I went on to mention just a few simple things that can mean so much to a bereaved person; say his name; ask me what he was like, how did we meet? if I cry, no words need be spoken, only a warm and gentle hug would be enough. don't ask me, "how are you doing?" unless you really want to know. try to understand that grief has no time frame, that each person grieves differently, that we never "get over it", but try to get through it – that as we move forward with baby steps, grief often carries us back to square one, and makes us feel we've made no progress whatsoever (even though we have made progress). do not be afraid to talk about our person who has died with the thought, the fear that it will upset us. we are already "upset", sometimes every minute of every hour of every day. the relief and gratitude for any kind thought or word about our beloved will trump tears and "upset" every time. understand that when we are feeling sad, lost, and broken, tearful, angry, and a mixture of all the above at any given time, that we also can be receptive to feeling happy, peaceful, grateful, enormously hopeful and are able to get outside of ourselves to help and be present for others. we can still be good listeners and respond with kindness and compassion for the troubles others face – the grieving process has helped honed those skills and sharpened our perceptions of the fact that each one of us have or will suffer tragedy.
I hope, dear Tricia, that by sharing my story, by validating and appreciating all you have written about the grief you have suffered offers even some small measure of comfort. I wish I could hug you and tell you in person how much you have helped me through this vale of sorrow and loss. I send you my best wishes for comfort, for hope, for resilience with the chronic illness you endure, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your beautiful, insightful, and thought provoking words that have been like a soothing balm to my aching heart.
much love,
Karen xoxo
oh Joy!, my dear Tricia – you found my comment! I am so happy that we have now connected, and even happier that you have expressed such kindness, compassion, empathy – and I FEEL the hugs you have sent me.
thank you for providing your e-mail address. I will write to you soon – it's the wee hours of the morning here on the US east coast – I just decided to check your sight hoping you might have seen my message. I will fall asleep filled with gratitude and joy having heard from you. thank you, thank you for your beautiful, heartfelt words.
much love,

Review #20 Les Miserables
Directed by- Tom Hooper
Starring- Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway and Russell Crowe
I've never seen a Les Miserables before. Not even the stage production. However, I'm familiar with the context. Revolutions, singing, Susan Boyle etc. etc.
And after reading all the reviews, acknowledging all the Academy Award nominations, and studying the extreme diets Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman went through (horrendous stuff- I'd much rather be overweight and satisfied), I must say, I found the film…. Meh. Let me start with the good stuff.
It was visually stunning, the acting was inspiring, the singing was heart-wrenching (in both the good and the bad way- I shall explain).
Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), is a convict who has been hunted for years by Javert (Russell Crowe), after he breaks parole. Valjean then meets a factory worker, Fantine (Anne Hathaway) and agrees to care for her daughter (Amanda Seyfried).
So we have a good story, with singing. I think musicals are quite a personal thing, some people like them, some people hate them, and some are very specific about them. I'm in the third category. I like people randomly breaking out into song. As I learnt in my drama class, it reminds you that the movie isn't real. However, in this Les Mis, they sing EVERYTHING. It's like an Andrew Lloyd Webber production. And when EVERYTHING is being sung, that also means that Russell Crowe sings…. a lot…. Most critics panned him. Quite rightly so. He was rubbish. In all fairness to him, I'd give him points for effort, but next to Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, and even Eddie Redmayne (a rather surprising star who plays Amanda Seyfried's love interest), he's not brilliant.
Sacha Baren Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter don't steal the show but their scenes are long and become boring as they just do the same thing over and over again (generally act like overgrown delinquents) and the little revolutionary children in the 'chorus' are all cockneys, which is a little unusual.
Overall I was rather disappointed, so maybe if you don't go in with too high expectations you'll quite enjoy it. Although it's rather fun to think of it as a musical starring Cat Woman, Gladiator and Wolverine.
Three stars.
