Local action "Green Terrace for better Climate" by Young Researchers of Serbia
Young activists of Young Researchers of Serbia initiated local action "Green Terrace for better Climate". We had the idea to green up our urban city a little bit and enrich living space of the tenants in one building of a brand new neighborhood in Belgrade.
Together with students of Landscape Architecture faculty, local flower farmers who donated diverse plants and tenants who bought lovely flowerpots, we have planted over 100 plants.
Greenery has positive effect on us and on the climate. The impact of plants in reducing temperature, especially in summer, as well as their ability of air filtration which reduces air pollution is widely known. Plants also have a role in reducing the solar radiation what makes living conditions in urban areas healthier. Due to all these positive effects, we want to promote this type of activity and return it to the culture of living like it used to be, when Belgrade's terraces were full of green oases.
This action was just the beginning and now we want to make it widespread! Join us!

From international blockbusters to hidden gems, these classic legal thrillers deliver unbeatable courtroom drama without requiring you to report for jury duty.
By David Adams
Next month, Celadon will publish M. T. Edvardsson's A Nearly Normal Family, the gripping story of a criminal defense attorney forced to ask if her 18-year-old daughter could have committed a brutal murder. In anticipation, we're revisiting the 10 best legal thrillers of all time. From international blockbusters to hidden gems, these classics deliver unbeatable courtroom drama without requiring you to report for jury duty.
Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow
When a beautiful and ambitious colleague is found murdered in her apartment, Rožat "Rusty" Sabich, chief deputy prosecuting attorney of Kindle County, Illinois, takes the case. But Carolyn Polhemus wasn't just a co-worker—she was also Rusty's lover. As evidence of the affair comes to light, Rusty goes from lead prosecutor to prime suspect; soon he's on trial for his life. Is he an innocent bystander or a cold-blooded killer? You won't know until you turn the final pages of Scott Turow's brilliant debut novel, which combines deep philosophical insight, authentic details about the inner workings of a big-city courtroom, and a propulsive mystery plot that sets the gold standard for the modern legal thriller.
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The daughter of a lawyer, Harper Lee was fascinated by the criminal justice system—she helped her good friend Truman Capote research In Cold Blood, and, as is revealed in the new book Furious Hours, came close to completing her own work of true crime. It's no wonder, then, that this beloved coming-of-age classic contains some of the most riveting courtroom scenes in American fiction, as Atticus Finch defends his client, Tom Robinson, from the false accusation that he raped a white woman. For millions of readers all over the world, Atticus is the embodiment of what a good lawyer should be—trustworthy, fair, and willing to stand up for what's right, no matter the personal cost.
Leave it to John Grisham to turn Xerox-ing into a nail-biting adventure. Few authors would attempt such a feat, but then again, few authors have published a new international bestseller every year for the past 30 years. Grisham's astonishing run of success began with this story of a Harvard Law School graduate, who uncovers dirty secrets at a Memphis law firm. With the FBI, the Mafia, and the firm's homicidal head of security breathing down his neck, Mitch McDeere makes a dash for—where else?—the Xerox machine. With its breakneck pace and keen awareness of the temptations that come with the power to bend the law to your will, The Firm launched Grisham into the stratosphere of thriller writers.
Anatomy of a Murder by Robert Traver
In this 1958 bestseller often credited as the first legal thriller, US Army Lieutenant Frederic "Manny" Manion confesses to murdering an innkeeper but claims that the man raped his wife. When attorney Paul Biegler learns that Manion has no memory of pulling the trigger, he pursues a novel defense strategy: not guilty by reason of "irresistible impulse," a version of temporary insanity. The legal jousting between Biegler and the prosecution is made all the more riveting by its firm basis in reality, proving that there are few places on earth more inherently dramatic than a courtroom.
The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly
Mickey Haller is a Los Angeles attorney whose "office" is the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car. He also happens to be the half-brother of Michael Connelly's other iconic creation: LAPD detective Harry Bosch. When Haller agrees to defend a wealthy realtor accused of assault, he expects to rack up a small fortune in billable hours. Instead, he comes face-to-face with pure evil. To save an innocent man's life, Haller will have to bend the law to its breaking point. Full of gritty details, dark humor, and high-stakes action, The Lincoln Lawyer announced Connelly as a major player in the legal thriller game.
A Covenant with Death by Stephen Becker
Set in a small New Mexico town in 1923, this New York Times bestseller dramatizes the clash between frontier justice and the ethical imperatives of the modern courtroom. When Bryan Talbot is convicted of murdering his adulterous wife, 29-year-old judge Ben Lewis must carry out the death sentence, despite his strong misgivings about the case. But a shocking turn of events will force Lewis to reckon not just with his duty to the law, but with his own fate. Author Stephen Becker counted fellow writers John Irving, Joe Haldeman, and Michael Chabon among his many admirers.
Defending Jacob by William Landay
Frequently compared to Presumed Innocent, this thriller also features a prosecuting attorney who's more intimately involved with a murder case than he initially lets on. Here, though, assistant district attorney Andy Barber isn't the accused killer—his 14-year-old son Jacob is. The victim was a classmate of Jacob's and a bully, but Andy would rather the police focus their investigation on a local pedophile. When new evidence emerges, however, Jacob is arrested and brought to trial.
Landay, a former prosecutor, brings an intimate knowledge of the law to the courtroom scenes and paints a devastating portrait of a family in crisis. But it's the novel's terrifying final twist that will keep you up at night.
Mistaken Identity by Lisa Scottoline
Bennie Rosato, head of an all-female law firm, has built her career on taking down dirty cops. So when her newest client, accused cop-killer Alice Connolly, says that her murdered police detective boyfriend was dealing drugs, Bennie believes her. What the crusading attorney has a harder time accepting is Alice's claim that she and Bennie are identical twins. A DNA test will solve the mystery, but in the meantime, Bennie has to save Alice from the electric chair. Mistaken Identity is a standout entry in the Rosato & Associates series, which consistently delivers thrills, romance, and intense courtroom scenes.
The Emperor of Ocean Park by Stephen L. Carter
Years ago, Judge Oliver Garland's Supreme Court nomination was derailed by his connections to a rogue CIA agent. When the judge dies, it falls to his son, Talcott, to handle his "final arrangements." Following a trail of cryptic clues, Talcott unlocks the hidden links between his father's public humiliation, his sister's death in a hit-and-run accident, and a network of corruption that reaches into the highest corridors of power.
Carter, a Yale Law School professor, fills every chapter with insider knowledge about the federal court system and the rarified world of New England's black upper class, making The Emperor of Ocean Park one of the most eye-opening legal thrillers of the past 20 years.
The Legal Limit by Martin Clark
Gates Hunt is a career criminal; his brother Mason is a successful lawyer with a loving wife and daughter. When Gates draws a long prison sentence for selling cocaine to an undercover cop, he tries to save himself by implicating Mason in an unsolved murder. The problem is, Gates is telling the truth—or half of it, anyway.
A circuit court judge in rural Stuart, Virginia, Clark based this profound and frequently funny story on one of his cases. The author finds a rich vein of material in the discrepancies between the letter of the law and the true nature of justice, and his electric prose reads like a cross between Elmore Leonard and John Grisham.

"The Walking Dead" and "I am Legend" attest to fears of a global pandemic. In real life, Bird Flu, SARS and various flu strains give credibility to these fears. Along with rumors and ambient warnings, there are historical pandemics we are aware of such as the Spanish influenza virus of 1917, the bubonic plague of the 12th century, the Antonine plague of 165 AD and others.
The single longest endured pandemic was an outbreak of bubonic plague that began in China. The first cases were reported in 1855 and quickly spread through South and Southeast Asia and then around the world. It continued until 1959, lasting more than 100 years.
Each year, new strains of influenza break out in various locations and spread across the oceans. Most strains have relatively low mortality rates. They can cause death in vulnerable segments of the population such as infants and the elderly, but are uncomfortable inconveniences for the majority who contract them.
Suppose, however, that there evolved a strain that had a high mortality, one that killed among the general population, one similar to the plague? Just how likely is it that a high mortality disease can be transmitted around the world? And if it can, how long would it take? For such a disease to occur, there are several factors that need to be examined.
First, the virus would have to be an infectious disease. This means that the disease would have to spread from person to person in an efficient manner. An airborne virus is spread by moisture particles passing from an infected host to non-infected individual. This can take place relatively quickly. A blood-born pathogen works its way into a population more slowly.
Second, the pathogen would have to avoid self limitations. It must remain active in a host long enough to sustain transmission. Some high-mortality diseases like the Ebola virus kill off the host population very quickly. This means the disease cannot spread beyond its outbreak population. Some disease pathogens are able to infect multiple hosts. The bubonic plague, for example, infects rats and humans and is transmitted by the passing of bacteria between mutual carriers.
Third, the pathogen would have to avoid being stopped. This means that the disease would need to move through its host population faster than public health measures and medical intervention treatments could manage it. By isolating and quarantining disease sources, the spread can quickly be brought under control. Unfortunately, many diseases have symptoms that are indistinct from a common cold or flu. In such conditions, it becomes very difficult to find the source.
Supposing that we have a pathogen that is able to meet these obstacles – that means (a) it is easily transmitted, (b) has a long incubation period, and (c) it evades detection. Such a disease most probably would start as a virus in a major metropolitan center. It would move through the local population via public transportation and personal commercial interaction. It would quickly move from one international airport to others and then onto regional airports as the public traveled. From the airports, it would move into the public transportation network, into the personal commercial sector and onto individual families. To spread to the more remote areas, it might take as long as a year.
When considering these factors, public health authorities state that the greater danger in an epidemic is not the disease itself but the spread of panic. When a disease is under control, maximum medical attention can be provided to those who are infected. However, when individuals avoid precautions, panic and act irresponsibly, their actions can spread the disease more widely, quickly overwhelming healthcare systems, thus resulting in limited care to infected patients.
Public health officials inform us that it is indeed possible for a high-mortality disease to spread throughout the world and kill millions. However, they also tell us that for this to occur, we as the public would have to act against our better judgment and work as helping agents for the disease to be successful.

ALM Improves Open Rates by 60% with Launch of Mobile-Optimized E-Newsletters
NEW YORK – May 8, 2013 – ALM, a leading provider of news and business information to the legal and real estate industries, today announced that it has seen an impressive 60 percent jump in its "open rates" – the number of subscribers who receive an email from the company and take the time to open the message – since optimizing 20 of its electronic newsletters for viewing on mobile devices.
The launch of the mobile-optimized ALM e-newsletters began in early March and rolled out over the course of several weeks. The project included e-newsletters for national publications, such as The National Law Journal, as well as regional publications, such as the Connecticut Law Tribune.
"Internet usage data indicates that the mobile future is here, with more people opening emails in mobile browsers than with any other platform," said Jeffrey S. Litvack, senior vice president of digital media at ALM. "It has become an imperative for media companies to make their content easy to read and interact with on mobile devices. Publishers like ALM need to get ahead of the consumer smartphone adoption curve and design emails that render differently on mobile devices. In doing so, advertisers and readers can realize tangible benefits from faster load times, easier to read formats and more visible ad messages."
According to the latest research studies, mobile-optimized communications are crucial for a number of reasons:
- Two out of three U.S. email users sort through emails on their mobile devices before reading them on their computers (BlueHornet Report: Consumer Views of Email Marketing)
- Mobile open share rate has increased 300 percent since 2010 (Return Path Analysis)
- 70 percent of people delete emails that do not format properly on their mobile devices (BlueHornet Report: Consumer Views of Email Marketing); and
- Nearly six in 10 companies (58 percent) are not yet formatting their content for optimal viewing on mobile devices. (MarketingSherpa: 2013 Email Marketing Benchmark Report)
The primary way that media companies measure the effectiveness of their e-newsletter distribution is by tracking email open rates. By that standard, ALM has seen its open rates increase by more than 60 percent in the past two months, and their results are nearly double the average open rate reported by the Direct Marketing Association in 2012 for media companies. Nearly 40 percent of ALM's readers opened their e-newsletter on their mobile devices, predominantly on Apple iOS devices.

Supreme Court of Connecticut
June 19, 2018
STATE OF CONNECTICUTv.BRIAN W. JORDAN
January 18, 2018
M. Erwin, with whom, on the brief, was Kevin M. Smith, for
the appellant (defendant).
Kathryn W. Bare, assistant state's attorney, with whom,
on the brief, were Michael Dearington, former state's
attorney, James Turcotte, supervisory assistant state's
attorney, and James Dinnan and John Lion, senior assistant
state's attorneys, for the appellee (state).
Palmer, McDonald, Robinson, D'Auria, Mullins and Kahn,
Js. [*]
information charging the defendant with the crime of assault
in the second degree, brought to the Superior Court in the
judicial district of New Haven, geographical area number
seven, where the court, S. Moore, J., granted the state's
motion to preclude certain evidence; thereafter, the case was
tried to the jury before S. Moore, J.; verdict and judgment
of guilty, from which the defendant appealed to the Appellate
Court, Lavine, Beach and Pellegrino, Js., which affirmed the
judgment of the trial court, and the defendant, on the
granting of certification, appealed to this court. Affirmed.
McDONALD, JUDGE
primary question we must answer in this certified appeal is
whether a criminal defendant claiming self-defense is barred
as a matter of law from introducing the victim's
convictions for crimes of violence as evidence that the
victim initiated the confrontation with the defendant when
the conduct giving rise to the victim's convictions
occurred subsequent to the charged incident. The defendant,
Brian W. Jordan, appeals from the judgment of the Appellate
Court, which affirmed his judgment of conviction of assault
in the second degree. State v. Jordan, 166 Conn.App.
35, 48, 140 A.3d 421 (2016). We agree with the Appellate
Court that, although the trial court improperly determined
that such evidence is inadmissible as a matter of law, the
defendant has failed to prove that such error ultimately was
jury reasonably could have found the following facts. On the
evening of August 19, 2011, the defendant was socializing
with a neighbor, David Gorski. After consuming several beers
at the defendant's residence, they went to Jake's
Martini Bar in Wallingford (Jake's). Once there, they
ordered drinks from the bar, which was located in the front
room, and then went into a separate room in the rear of the
establishment to listen to a band.
the defendant and Gorski were in the back room, the victim,
Erdan Sejdic, and his then girlfriend, Brianna White, arrived
at Jake's, where they intended to enjoy a nightcap in
celebration of the victim's birthday. After they ordered
drinks from the bar, they sat down at a high top table with
two chairs a few feet away from the bar. A short time later,
the victim returned to the bar to order a second round of
drinks while White remained seated at the table.
the victim was at the bar, the defendant and Gorski reentered
the front room. They noticed White sitting alone and
approached her. The defendant sat down in the chair that the
victim had recently vacated while Gorski stood nearby. The
defendant attempted to strike up a conversation with White.
White interpreted the defendant's conduct as unsolicited
flirtation, and told him that she was at the bar with
this exchange, the victim looked up from the bar and saw the
defendant speaking with White. White made eye contact with
the victim and made a facial expression she intended to
convey, and the victim understood to mean, that she wanted
him to intervene. The victim began to walk toward the table
but, before he could reach it, Gorski intervened, having
surmised from the victim's close proximity to White that
he might be her date. Gorski asked the victim if White was
his girlfriend, which the victim confirmed. Gorski told the
victim that he would take care of his friend. The victim
returned to the bar to wait for his drinks while Gorski
returned to the table. Gorski told the defendant that White
was the victim's girlfriend and that they should go
somewhere else. The defendant snickered, stayed in his seat,
and continued speaking to White.
that White was still distressed, the victim approached the
table, standing in front of his former seat where the
defendant was seated. He calmly introduced himself to the
defendant and told the defendant that he and White were at
the bar to celebrate his birthday and that White was his
girlfriend. He further expressed that he did not want any
trouble. The defendant did not respond, but Gorski stated
that he would take care of it. Believing that Gorski would
get the defendant to leave the table, the victim again
returned to the bar to wait for his drinks.
later, when the defendant still had not left the table, the
victim returned to the table and stood in front of where the
defendant was seated. He reiterated that he was out with
White to celebrate and did not want any trouble, and told the
defendant that he was in his seat and that he should move.
The victim and White then heard the defendant state,
''I'm going to hit him.'' White saw
the defendant get red in the face and stand up.
Simultaneously, Gorski put his arm across the victim, which
prompted the victim to turn toward Gorski. While the victim
was looking away from the defendant, the defendant smashed a
glass[1] across the victim's head. The
victim's head started bleeding profusely, the gash later
requiring twenty stitches to close. The bartender, John
Heffernan, who was behind the bar and saw the defendant
strike the victim, promptly escorted the defendant out of the
A crowd
of people, including White, followed the defendant out of
Jake's. The crowd continued to follow the defendant
around the corner toward a parking lot in the rear of the
building, yelling at him. After using his shirt to stanch the
bleeding, the victim heard White yelling outside and left
Jake's to find her. The victim noticed the crowd around
the corner of the building and went toward it. The victim saw
the defendant backing away from the crowd and ran up to him
to stop him from leaving before the police arrived. As soon
as he approached the defendant, the defendant threw a punch
at the victim, which the victim dodged. The victim then
punched the defendant in the forehead, causing the defendant
to fall to the ground. While the defendant was still on the
ground, the victim kicked him twice. The crowd then began
kicking the defendant, which prompted the victim to back
away. Almost immediately thereafter, the police arrived and
took statements from the defendant and the victim. An angry
exchange ensued between the two, in which the victim yelled
profanities at the defendant.[2]
defendant was arrested at the scene.[3] In a substitute long form
information, the defendant was charged with assault in the
second degree, by means of a dangerous instrument, in
violation of General Statutes (Rev. to 2011) § 53a-60
(a) (2).
to trial, the state filed a motion in limine requesting,
inter alia, that the trial court preclude evidence of the
victim's criminal convictions, which the state
anticipated the defendant would attempt to submit in support
of his claim of self-defense. The state asserted that the
defendant would not be able to lay an adequate foundation of
self-defense. It further asserted that the convictions were
inadmissible because they occurred subsequent to the 2011
charged conduct, in June, 2012, and March, 2013, and that the
convictions were not sufficiently similar to the charged
conduct in that they were domestic in nature. The defendant
argued that evidence of the subsequent convictions should be
admitted, citing the similarity in motive for the conduct,
namely, jealousy of White and other men. The trial court
granted the state's motion in limine. The court concluded
that, even if the defendant were to lay an ...

Sounds option in /settings menu
A lot of the time the custom clwo sounds/music really annoy people. Especially new people who are not used to them. It would be nice to have a section under /settings where you could toggle different sounds such as last guard music, special day music/sounds and etc as certain ones such as joker bombs and Sparta can be way too loud and annoying sometimes and would be good if we could toggle them. Same with zombie/tank sounds and pre mutch most custom sounds you find on jailbreak. Sometimes wish we had a way to toggle them.Custom last guard songs for donators
This would fit in under the sounds option in /settings and would give the donators a choice of let's say around 5 different songs for their last guard music that everybody could hear. I just think this would be a cool thing to have tbh.

Why XAT? What top scorers have to say.
XAT is a national level entrance test for admission to more than 150 top B schools, and is conducted by XLRI Jamshedpur. It is the second-best MBA exam after CAT among management aspiring candidates. Aspirants must clear XAT cut offs to qualify for GD/PI. Difficulty level of the examination is moderate but Decision-making section is responsible for low scores of candidates. But this article will share interviews of XAT top scorers, which will aid aspirants to get top MBA colleges.
What all you know about XAT?
XAT (Xavier Aptitude Test) is considered as one of the top MBA entrance examination which is conducted to admit selected candidates in top B schools. Through this exam, candidate's aptitude in management field is checked. It is a pen-paper based exam so that candidates from rural areas who don't have much knowledge about computer system can also apply for the examination. The paper includes objective and subjective type of questions and difficulty level is generally moderate. Admission in more than 150- B schools is on the basis of the exam scores.
XAT written section comprises two parts, one is aptitude test and another is Essay & General Knowledge part. Every year there is change in number of questions in the exam, so one can't predict which part of any section will have how many questions.But, in Aptitude Section Decision making questions, which are added recently are the toughest and trickier ones, and scoring good in them will definitely increase your chance to get selected in top MBA colleges.
How aspirants get selected inB- Schools after clearing XAT?
Factors on which selection in top B- schools depend.
Through XAT, candidates get admission in top colleges which accepts exam score. But which college selected aspirants must prefer? Most preferred and top-rated colleges under XAT are XLRI and XIMB. So, the question is what's next after clearing XAT?
The score for the final selection of the candidates is calculated by assigning weight to different factors which comprises XAT, Group Discussion (GD), Personal Interview (PI), essay writing, academic qualifications, work experience, and overall profile of an aspirant.
Also, there is no centralized counselling after clearing XAT score. Shortlisted candidates have to apply for each member institute of XAMI separately. On the basis of cut- off, GD/PI scores, final merit list will be prepared.
What Top Scorers have to say about XAT?
And how one can prepare for XAT to get Top B- schools?
We have interviewed various toppers who cracked XAT and secured admission in Top Management colleges/ institutes in India on the basis of their scores. Following are some useful XAT preparation tips and experiences which will help interested aspirants.
What 99.9 percentile scorer Kanishka has to say about XAT?
Kanishka did not join any coaching institute for XAT preparation. According to the interview given by him, "CAT and XAT have Quant and Verbal aptitude section in common, but Decision-Making section is the difficult and unique one for which I had to study separately for XAT. Solving previous year XAT papers for preparing myself in DM is the key to success. Fortunately, I scored 99.57 percentile in DM section which helped elevating my overall percentile a lot," saidKanishka 2017 XAT topper confidently.
Keep practicing and plan your own strategy, says AbhishakeKoul
He got 98.4 percentile in XAT, and he says that you have to practice Reading Comprehension, quants and Decision Making and hard work is must. He says that a candidate must give mock papers regularly. He had practiced a lot for his weak areas by making handouts and giving tests. Also, he advices aspirants to motivate themselves as there is no bigger motivator other than you. So, be a self-motivator.
Knowledge is treasure but hard work is key to it, says Priyajeev Kumar
Priyajeev scored 99.82 percentile in XAT. He says, practice is the only way to improve accuracy as the syllabus of MBA entrance exam is quite of elementary level. His advices all XAT aspirants that they must give mock tests as it gives confidence, also prepare well for the exam. Also, prepare for DM section more because it is tougher and time consuming.
Self-motivation is must, says Harish Sankar
He appeared for XAT and scored 74.5 percentile marks. He says, it is very difficult to manage and give quality time to preparation if you're working. But without preparation getting passed only a miracle can happen.
XAT v/s CAT
As both are management exams so candidates have many queries related to both of them. Frequently asked questions are which exam is tougher and which one should prefer. Answer to both these questions is provided in this section.
Some students says that XAT is tougher but according to some CAT is difficult. So, how to conclude on the basis of such answers? The thing is that both the examinations are quite similar but XAT contains an extra section i.e. Decision making where personal ideology and their knowledge is tested, which is the main reason for low marks of candidates. But, CAT does not have any such section. Secondly CAT questions are easier and less confusing than XAT.
But on the other hand, competition in CAT is so much more in comparison to XAT, because more than 2 lakh candidates appear for CAT every year for admission to IIMs. So, cut- offs are so high in CAT in comparison to XAT.
After looking at both the data's, it can be concluded that XAT is difficult but cut off is less, on the other hand, CAT is easy when compared to XAT but competition level is very high. So, CAT can be termed as difficult than XAT.
Can we appear for both CAT and XAT?
Yes, if a candidate fulfills the eligibility criteria for both the examinations, he can apply for both the examinations. Also, it will be beneficial in a way because he can prepare for both at the same time because of similar syllabus except for DM section. In addition to this, he will get a better understanding of exam pattern, how to strategize during an exam, and will get to know more about time management.

Lovado L.: "I'm writing this short passage to express my utter joy after 3 years of pure suffering. My testimonial will be a little long but for all the right reasons. My words cannot do justice to the results I saw, but they can speak of all that happened before, since lots of other people are in the same situation as me and have not yet found a solution. Myself, I found it because I believed in the testimonials that I read on the IN'OYA website.
3 years ago I was using lightening creams, ignorantly of the consequences. After I stopped using these creams, I found I had spots concentrated around the eye area and on my cheeks.
I couldn't tolerate this and I went to see a dermatologist who didn't know what to do and simply told me to hydrate my skin and recommended various creams to me: cicalfate etc... I don't remember the other cream exactly.
Nothing changed and I became more and more disheartened. I had suddenly aged by 8 years. I could see myself being pointed out. I couldn't be around people and I retreated into myself.
A huge complex had taken over, to the point where a simple look from a stranger would send me into a state.
With the determination of my friends, I went to see another dermatologist, who told me that my case was unique and that I needed to see an aesthetician. When I saw the aesthetician there was still no solution. She took photos of me and told me that I would be contacted in 2 weeks after she discussed my case with other aestheticians, but there was no call.
I went through some difficult times. The mirror was my greatest enemy and my tears were my comfort.
But during these tough times I was hooked on Google and YouTube, always trying to find a solution. I was making my own lotion from lemon, believing I could find a solution, but I quickly realised that it was in vain when my skin became very dry.
Then one day I discovered the MEL'OYA® Correcting Serum, I wasn't interested at first, because I had no trust left due to all the products I had tried that didn't help me.
I ignored it and I relied on lemon-based lotions only, which my skin couldn't cope with, so I allowed myself to revisit the IN'OYA website.
On the website, I was drawn to the testimonials and I said to myself: "Why not try one more time?"
So I contacted the IN'OYA team, and then an agreement was sent to me so that I could start my treatment (the Correcting Serum and the Corrector Unifying Matyifying).
I began my treatment on the 11th October and after just 8 weeks A MIRACLE HAD HAPPENED! It was a true MIRACLE for me because everyone was so surprised to see such a change, I was rejuvenated and I felt so confident in myself!
After 1 month of treatment, on the 11th September I was enthusiastic to see what the people in my class would say to me. They all said the same thing: "You look beautiful". Everyone said it.
Now I plan to follow my IN'OYA treatment until I get back to my natural complexion. I am extremely satisfied with this laboratory

Page 53 ended later than I had anticipated so page 54 began with me heading to bed to get some sleep. When I eventually woke up to start page 54 for real, I sat down at my computer to check on messages and social media postings. It didn't take long this morning for me to realize that although I walk a lot and consider myself to be in good enough physical condition, apparently running a chainsaw for several hours straight yesterday used a different variety of muscles that what I'm used to using. 🙂 I was thankful that Thursday's are typically my day off so I could recuperate from yesterday's work.
We're having spring, summer, fall, and winter all within days of each other this week, so Susan's neurological system seems to be experiencing a lot of difficulties with a variety of seizure types. My day of rest helps her to rest so it becomes a win-win for all of us. She was eventually ready to get up so I helped her get her clothes out and breakfast around so she could get herself ready for the day. Once she had what she needed, I fired up the pellet grill so I cook some bacon cheeseburgers for lunch. After lunch, Susan and I headed down to Potato Creek where she walked a mile and then rode her wheelchair while we did an additional four miles of trails. When we first got to the park, a bald eagle was perched in a tree near where we parked. I was able to get a few photos before he decided to go somewhere else to do his fishing. In the photo on today's page he seems to be looking at me and wondering, "What is he doing here?" In the very next photo I was able to take, he has begun to spread his wings just before taking off. While I love seeing the eagles when I'm there, the park itself is filled with beauty and photo opportunities throughout.
After our walks, we headed home where I spent some time going through the photos I had taken. Once the photos had been gone through and I had shared a few of them, I fired the pellet grill back up and put some chicken on for supper. After eating, it was time to begin writing today's page so I can call it a day and get some sleep before the early start to Friday.
As I reflect on the day, here are some thoughts/lessons that stand out to me:
- Life is filled with a lot of ebb and flow, a variety of hills and valleys, and we would do well to understand the balance that can be had in the midst of that.
- Doing something we're not used to doing will generally be uncomfortable for a time but that shouldn't keep us from doing what we ought.
- The mind is a wonderful and complex creation. As with most things, the more complex they are, the more difficult it is to understand all the ways it works — especially when it functions differently than others.
- The things we call disabilities often help those who have them to do things the rest of us can't.
- While there are many things that Susan can't do, it is more productive to focus on the things she does better than most — like her ability to relate to God.
- Most people seem to be focused almost exclusively on the visually spectacular even when they are surrounded by other things, or people, that ought to be noticed.
- What are you missing today because it doesn't fully match what you're looking for?

Effects of various modes of communication on cooperation between dyads
This study looks at how different modes of communication affect cooperation between dyads. The main hypothesis was that dyads in the face-to-face (FTF) condition would cooperate more than those in the computer mediated communication (CMC) condition. Participants were assigned to either the CMC or FTF condition and played the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma game with a partner a total of ten times. Participants then completed a Likert type scale questionnaire designed specifically for this study. This questionnaire aimed to find out about participant's feelings toward their partner, their game strategy, and their use of emoticons. A series of 2 X 2 mixed ANOVAs were performed. The results were not significant and did not show a difference in cooperation between dyads in the FTF and CMC condition. The outcome of this study may have been due to the various limitations experienced during testing, which may be eliminated with future research.

Greek Referendum: Triumph of Democracy over Bankers?
WASHINGTON - Greeks overwhelmingly rejected conditions for bailout by the European "troika" (European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund) in a referendum on Sunday. This is widely seen as strengthening the hand of the Greek government in negotiating a more favorable package.
In a move that surprised many, Yanis Varoufakis just resigned as Greek finance minister.

Have you ever just sat in a café and listened to everyone else around you?
It's instructive.
When I teach music journalists (watch the video that tells you why I'm qualified to do that) how to observe, this is one of the exercises that I recommend. (The teaching is much more detailed than this, obviously.)
Ethnography, which is 'the science of the description and classification of mankind' was, shall we say, stolen from anthropology by informed writers for a very good reason.
It teaches you how to be observant.
Ethnography is the kind of thing you do while participating. You have to learn how to switch on the recorder in your brain so that you can participate fully. You understand this to mean, 'without taking notes'. Then, you need to be able to access your recording as accurately as possible later.
I tell you this because it's likely that you've never done it.
But — and this is a BIG deal, right — why wouldn't you?
If you were actually interested in delivering material of value to your readers, wouldn't you want to understand how they speak? The language that they use? How they relate to each other naturally?
Great copywriters bang on about this topic for a reason. They spend loads of time in research. They read industry publications of all kinds. They talk to their audience. They get inside the audience's heads. This research is the difference between a professional and someone who 'likes to write'.
Anyway, my point isn't to talk about copywriting technique.
My point is to tell you that when you get the language right, you don't have to work so hard to be seen, tried, or known. Yes, you have to be smart about your distribution, that's just reality. What you don't have to do is bash people over the heads with it.
Sales works exactly the same way.
If you get the right content for the right people, written in the right way — i.e. using the language they already know — then you can be a helper, not a car salesman.
Speaking of which, our case studies offer ends soon. Get your hands on it at https://brutalpixie.com/case-studies.

« A Conference of Possible Interest: "Here I Stand: Conscience, Reformation, and Religious Freedom Across the Centuries" | Main | Jews and the 2017 World Series »
Monday, October 23, 2017
Abel reviews Espeland & Sauder's "Engines of Anxiety: Academic Rankings, Reputation, and Accountability."
Prof. Abel's review is in the Journal of Legal Education and can be downloaded here. A bit:
Student choice of a law school is complicated and facilitated by a combination of ignorance and indifference. Few harbor a passionate desire to be a lawyer. . . . They do not know what
kind of law they will practice or which schools prepare better for various specializations. . . . If they have any image of lawyers, it probably is drawn from the media . . . , which depict (inaccurately) a practice few will enter[.]
If few applicants have intrinsic reasons for choosing among law schools (or even for becoming lawyers), they do share a common trait: ambition. They have been socialized from an early age to distinguish themselves through achievement: academic, athletic, cultural, social, political. Most can compare the status of their high school with that of its local competitors. They strove to get into the "best" college—for which they had a metric—and build a resumé there and in the subsequent gap year(s) to get them into the "best" law school. They have been accumulating cultural capital the way earlier generations accumulated land (in feudal society) and capital (in bourgeois society). All they need is a marker of the best, preferably one that also will distinguish them in the eyes of prospective employers.
The[] changes in legal education and the legal profession since 1970 created an opening, indeed an imperative need, for information to guide aspiring law students in choosing a school. . . .

The problem is that Dale's interest in Nick seems to be more changeable than the Michigan weather. One day they're training in Dale's garage gym and he's giving Nick smouldering looks from under the barbell. The next, Nick's attempts to turn up the heat on their friendship get the cold shoulder.
Dale finally claims he's holding out for love that will last, and Nick's stay in America is only temporary. But a neighbour's accidental remark suggests otherwise.

Callum Black works at the English country estate and lives there in an isolated cottage. Left mute by a childhood accident, he's more comfortable in the company of animals than people. But when Josh—literally—crashes into his life with his camera and his friendship, Callum realizes his peaceful solitude has been more than a little lonely.
Josh's affection for Callum deepens even as he's consumed by doubts over Callum's sexuality and whether Callum could ever love him. And Callum is haunted by the secret that stole his voice—a secret that keeps him tethered to Hartley Manor. When the past comes hurtling painfully back into the present, Josh and Callum have to overcome their fears and breathe life back into their dormant hearts in order to have a chance at their own picture-perfect future.

CHF Members Policy Forum
The CHF Members Policy Forum was held at the Shine Dome in Canberra on 12 November and we welcomed almost 60 of our members to what we hope will be the first of many such events.
We have received excellent feedback following the event with members particularly enjoying the chance to talk policy with their peers.
The day was split into three sessions:
- a scene setting session with invited speakers from the Productivity Commission and a message from Minister Hunt
- a discussion session to capture feedback from members for CHF's pre- budget submission
- a session on long term strategic priorities which covered three key policy areas namely the proposed National Medicines Policy Review, the 10-year Primary Health Care Strategy and the 10 year Preventive Health Strategy.
Scene setting session
Minister Hunt, through a video message spelt out the Government's priorities to reform primary health care, to develop a 10-year preventive health strategy and to improve mental health services. He drew attention to the formation of the Youth Health Forum and the constructive relationship he has with CHF.
Michael Brennan, Chair of the Productivity Commission gave a frank and fascinating overview of how economists view health care. You can view his slides and read his speech here.
Professor Stephen King who chairs the productivity commission Inquiry into Mental Health discussed some of the draft key recommendations from that Inquiry. CHF will be responding to the recommendations and invites feedback from members.
Member's input into pre-budget submissions
The second session was an opportunity for members to make suggestions for what initiatives CHF should include in our submission for the 2020 Federal Budget. We received same great ideas for initiatives from our members and these suggestions are currently being incorporated into our submission. The submission will be circulated to members for feedback prior to being finalised and submitted

Long term strategic policy developments
The third session gave members a chance to hear updates on the progress of the primary care and preventive health strategies with presentations from departmental officials followed by a robust question and answer session. The session outlined the consultation process to be used for both strategies and explored the issues raised to date. There was a clear feeling in the room that consumers and consumer organisations needed to be engaged at all stages of the development of the strategies. CHF is on the steering committee for both strategies and will continue to consult with members as the strategies are developed to ensure the full spectrum of consumer concerns and solutions are canvassed.
There was also a presentation and discussion around the proposed review of National Medicines Policy. Members had questions about the scope and purpose of the review with much of the discussion focussing on how it can be brought up to date to accommodate the new generation of medicines, therapies and treatments, especially personalised medicines. The review is due to commence in March next year and CHF will be seeking members input throughout the process.

Here are my 3 thoughts on how to make a baby go down for naps during the day, knowing when to do it and how to give mummy some free time.
My mother-in-law, from the start would pick up Lo-Lo once she'd fallen asleep in her arms and would put her in her cot. Now she was doing a smart thing. She was making sure that Lo-Lo didn't get too used to only sleeping on people. Breaking the association between sleep and the comfort of someone's arms during the day. This tactic gradually should have given mummy time off as Lo-Lo would be asleep in her cot during the day as well as the night. This sadly never worked for me. Lo-Lo would wake up as soon as she was in the cot and it would be game over. She'd be tired and crying and I wouldn't know what to do, I'd be upset that my baby was such a loud, relentless, teary baby. Since hearing babies shouldn't be up for longer than 2 hours at a time I've simply made sure that when i see the signs (yawning/tired moaning) i start putting her down. I have more confidence now, knowing that she's not just randomly crying for no reason, that she needs sleep and she's crying because she's tired. This bit of information gives me a reason to understand why she's crying so I can remedy it. But how do you do this?
A big change we've been making with her over the last few weeks is we've been putting her down awake. Not screaming and crying of course. We'll hug her to comfort her so she's calm and feels secure and loved but she will still be awake. Once she's ready rather than rocking her to sleep, we will put her down in her cot to sleep. We started doing this at night initially. It started out that she would cry a bit. Mummy feeling guilty would pick her up to comfort her – I thought I was doing a good thing. But all I was doing is confirming to her that if she cries mummy and daddy will pick her up. Not good. So now, knowing that she will eventually settle (we are putting her down because she is tired) we let her moan it out a bit and eventually after about 5 mins she drops off to sleep. I have now started introducing it during the day as well. Result? Literally in the last 5 days she has got up, eaten/played and gone back down in her cot for 2-3 hour sleep a couple of times during the day. It's amazing. She's gradually building up the understanding that a) when she's put down in the cot it is time to sleep and b) she does not need to be rocked to sleep. It has been revolutionary and very freeing but at the same time a little heartbreaking at the start and requires consistency from us to get her there. The interesting thing is it doesn't seem to take babies that long to get with the program, they are fast learners. Ultimately I want a happy baby who cries less and one that goes down at nap time unaided sounds like a great start.
Final important thing to add. One useful tip from Gina Ford. Some advice says that you should go about your normal life (from a noise perspective) during the day whether or not the baby is sleeping. Possibly this is used as a technique to help newborns tell the difference between night and day in the very early stages. However Gina makes a good point. How well would you sleep in a noisy room? Probably not very well. So put the baby down in their cot, in the room that they sleep in at night/somewhere quiet. They get better quality sleep so you get a happier baby once they wake up and they associate their cot with sleep.
Bottom line, after 12 weeks of having no schedule, no routine and rarely anytime without her we've suddenly gained a good few hours a day to ourselves this last week! WHAT TO DO WITH IT ALL!!!!???? MWOHAHAHAHA!!!

Erica von Kleist graduated from Julliard in 2004 with a jazz degree, and spent the next ten years in New York City working as a pianist, saxophonist and flautist, a bandleader, a theater music director, a composer, and an arranger. She collaborated with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Chris Potter, Broadway star Eric Michael Krop, the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra, Rufus Reid, and Anne Hampton Callaway, among many others.
Von Kleist released her own albums, won awards and magazine reader polls, and wrote a music theory textbook. She lectured, taught and adjudicated student musical ensembles. Some of the recordings she contributed to were nominated for Grammy awards.
Then, in 2013, she made a life-changing move to Montana's Flathead Valley, where her happiness meter zoomed upward and her improvisational skills got a workout. Erica is demonstrating how to to make a living in Montana by creating opportunities - not only for herself, but for her fellow musicians and music teachers. She launched two sister companies, The Montana Artist Collective and Groovetrail (for-profit and non-profit companies, respectively), that book and manage paid performances throughout Northwest Montana: weddings, therapeutic nursing home stints, jazz summer camps, school residencies, and more.
Von Kleist calls her vision for the Flathead Valley's musicians and music teachers a 'biodome' of employment.
"Creating employment for musicians is one of my passions," she says. "It's crucial we develop new, exciting and sustainable platforms on which to perform and thrive."

As someone who has varicose veins, you know it's much more than a cosmetic issue — it's a medical issue. Varicose veins can range from annoying to incredibly painful and those bulging veins develop over the years.
Varicose veins prevention can potentially stop your veins from worsening, but you may indeed need a varicose veins treatment. If so, then The Vein and Laser Center of Northern Colorado is here to help. In today's blog, we're going to discuss five ways that wearing medical compression socks can benefit your varicose veins. Though wearing these stockings is certainly not a replacement for varicose veins treatment, they can help. Contact our vein clinic today to schedule a free 15-minute screening with a vein doctor.
Improve Venous Blood Flow
When you have varicose veins that aren't correctly transporting blood, those bulging veins will worsen, resulting in your legs feeling heavy, irritated, uncomfortable, and even painful. By wearing either thigh-high or knee-high compression socks, you'll promote the venous blood flow from the feet back toward the heart, thereby overcoming the effects of gravity.
Decrease The Risk Of Blood Clots
When you wear medical compression socks that are stronger in the feet and decrease in pressure as they go up the calf and into the thigh, you'll decrease the risk of blood clots. When blood clots block blood flow in the deeper veins, you'll likely experience deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can be life-threatening.
Improve Symptoms Of Vein Disease
Those symptoms of vein disease don't have to be a part of your everyday life. When preparing for a varicose veins treatment, wearing medical compression socks can help decrease symptoms such as swelling, itchiness, discomfort, pain, or leg heaviness. Leg cramps at night can also be common, and compression stockings are an effective way to get varicose veins pain relief.
Prevent Venous Blood From Pooling
Without medical compression socks, your venous blood is likely to pool in your legs because it can't get through the faulty valves with the added difficulty of gravity. Medical compression socks will tighten the veins just enough that the blood will move up your legs and continue to circulate. When this pooling isn't prevented, your symptoms will worsen.
Decrease Leg Swelling
As blood stays in your veins rather than moving as it should, you'll see an increase in leg swelling. Perhaps you're familiar with the way your legs swell up when you're traveling. It's similar when you're in need of a varicose veins treatment and haven't received it yet — but you'll experience the swelling in your day-to-day life.
Visit Us For Varicose Vein Treatment In Northern Colorado
Whether you've now spent time researching sclerotherapy, microphlebectomy, and EVLT or you're just now looking at varicose veins prevention methods and searching "how to get rid of varicose veins," our vein clinic is here for you. The Vein and Laser Center of Northern Colorado has the experienced vein doctors and varicose vein treatment options you're looking for. Schedule a free 15-minute screening today.

Mexico says will not deport migrants seeking asylum
MEXICO CITY - Mexicο's fοreign minister Marcelo Ebrard said οn Friday his gοvernment would nοt depοrt people seeking asylum, a day after the cοuntry said it would accept some migrants returned frοm the United States while their asylum requests are being prοcessed.
Speaking at the same news cοnference as Ebrard, deputy interiοr minister Alejandrο Encinas said he expected migrant flows into Mexicο to increase next year, pοinting to ambitious development prοjects the gοvernment is planning.
