A Case Study Of Acne Treatment
Lara Peterson, 20, an Admin Assistant from North Wales, has suffered for many years with her problematic skin.
In her teenage years she had relatively healthy skin with the occasional breakout but as she moved into her late teens the spots increased and before she knew it she was suffering from acne and has ever since (a skin condition characterized by red pimples on the skin, especially on the face, due to inflamed or infected sebaceous glands).
She explains: "I can't pinpoint when my skin began to change, I hadn't changed my diet and I was using similar products on my skin that I always had. I guess I was just one of the unfortunate ones who developed this skin condition and started producing too much oils (sebum) which resulted in by pores becoming clogged and leading to spots."
After 12 months of waiting and hoping her skin would clear Lara decided that it was getting out of control and affecting her confidence on a daily basis. She contacted our Skin Health Spa clinic in Nantwich, Cheshire, where she was advised to book in for an advanced skin consultation with one our skin specialists.
Lara continues: "Over the years I've tried every facial available at my local beauty salon and loads of different products, some dried my skin too much and some just spread the breakouts further. None of them have worked. I stumbled across Skin Health Spa through a recommendation from a friend and went in for a consultation.
Lara went for her forty-five minute complimentary consultation with nurse prescriber Sian Miller at Skin Health Spa to see what they would recommend.
Sian said: "Lara came to the clinic with fairly aggressive active acne. It is something we see regularly in our clinics and we treat clients of all ages who suffer from this unforgiving skin concern. The glands that lie just beneath the skin's surface produce an oil called sebum, which is our skin's natural moisturiser. These glands and the hair follicles in them open onto the skin through pores. Acne sufferers produce excess oil that fill these pores and combine that with dead and sticky skin cells then comedones form that block the pores and lead to spots. This can be brought on at any point in life by a number of factors such as hormonal changes, diet, cosmetics, heredity, drugs (side effects), environment and so on."
"I recommended Lara started on a home-use programme of Obagi Clenziderm straight away to bring the acne under control. Once she had completed the programme we also booked her on for a course of Agera skin peels that use acids to chemically exfoliate the top layers of skin. This exfoliation signals the cells inside the skin to produce more rapidly, which can help hasten skin turnover and prevent pores from becoming clogged. The use of these products and undergoing peel treatments can provide fantastic results in a matter of weeks."
She said: "After just two weeks my skin had started to improve. The acne became less uncomfortable and irritated. I also noticed that the general condition of my skin started to also improve in the areas not affected by the acne. Six to eights weeks after starting treatment my skin improved dramatically and for the first time in years I was spot free. I was left with slight scarring which I am now treating with their new Emerge Laser Resurfacing machine. Sian at Skin Health Spa was so supportive throughout my treatment and booked me in for check-ups every four weeks to check on the progress of my skin."
"I now feel like I have new skin and am so much more confident and happier. The state of my skin really did affect my self-esteem, and I always felt that others could see it, even beneath my layers of makeup.
"I'm so pleased I sought treatment for my acne as it really has changed my life, I'm no longer afraid to take my makeup off at night when friends stay and I'm not running off to top up my foundation at work. I would definitely recommend Skin Health Spa to others who suffer from acne, their free consultation process was a great way of finding out information without having to lay down payment before I knew what was involved.

The Birthplace of Islam: Western Arabia on the Eve of the Hegira
Le berceau de l'Islam: l'Arabie occidentale à la veille de l'hégire (The cradle of Islam: Western Arabia on the eve of the hegira) is an environmental and social history of the Hejaz region of the western Arabian Peninsula, the area which the author, Henri Lammens (1862‒1937), calls the "cradle of Islam." The book is a study of the climate, geography, topography, and anthropology of the region at the beginning of the seventh century, rigorously based on the Arabic textual sources that are the principal bases of what is known about the region and its pre-Islamic inhabitants: Arab Bedouin, Jew, and Christian. In agreement with the majority of historians, Lammens dates the beginning of Muhammad's prophetic inspiration to around the year 610. Muhammad moved from Mecca to Medina in 622, counted as year one of the Islamic calendar. The book consists of transcribed lectures and notes prepared for classes taught by Lammens in Rome and Beirut, which accounts for the diffuse organization of the often disconnected one-page essays that characterize the book. A detailed table of contents is provided to assist the reader. Lammens was a Belgian Jesuit who moved to Lebanon in his teenage years. He mastered Arabic and taught at Saint Joseph University in Beirut and at schools in Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt. He was known by his contemporaries for his provocative writing and strong opinions. Scholars have been of two minds about his work. While recognizing his profound knowledge of Arabic source material (he contributed 80 articles to the first edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam), many scholars have criticized him for allowing his Catholicism to strongly color his attitudes toward Islam and other Christian denominations of the region. After a long decline in health, Lammens died in Beirut in 1937. The book was published in Rome in 1914 by the Pontifical Biblical Institute. It was planned as the first in a series on early Islamic history, a project that was never carried forward.

The One Change That Made All the Difference in the World
Living A Life of Focus – Part 3
"A deadline is a deadline." This statement taught us and those we influence how to get serious about setting deadlines and adhering to the deadlines that have been set. This practice, if you want to be successful in life, your home, your career, in a relationship, or on the job is a key characteristic for getting you there. It may seem like a simple goal, but this one simple practice has the ability to take you from an average person to a next-level person.
The Thought or Concept:
"A deadline is a deadline."
These words I heard for the first time in a staff meeting with my vice-president of finance. She was meeting with her direct reports and I, the youngest member of her team, was the only one in the room with a pen and paper. At that point, I knew I had the upper hand on my peers. Writing things down is the first and most important step to getting things done. This was the most important statement she made. "A deadline is a deadline." From it, I realized that her team had an issue with meeting deadlines, so I made it my goal for my team to meet all its deadlines. Secondly, I noted that equally as important as meeting a deadline was providing and setting good and doable deadlines for my team. So I made this phrase our focus statement and used it in every team meeting for an entire year. It became the first line item on our agenda. You'd be surprised at what an impact it had on the team, my life, and the results we saw, were even better.
The Practice:
"A Deadline is a Deadline." After a year of focusing on this statement, it taught us five important uncommon lessons. Allow me to share them with you.
- Most don't adhere to timelines. This focus statement taught us that most people (51% or better) don't adhere to timelines. If you want to be an exceptional employee, you must learn how to adhere to deadlines. We must learn how to adjust, handle, and evaluate the deadlines placed on us.
- Most don't write things down. This focus statement taught us that most people (the majority) don't write things down. They don't take usable notes. Simply writing tasks down places you ahead of the majority. The next step is to follow through. There is no way memory will serve you well when you're inundated with information constantly. The biggest obstacle to meeting a deadline is forgetting about it and what must be done by when. The key to becoming a part of the minority that excel in what they do is to simply take usable notes. We must become good at taking notes that we can use to do our job, manage our lives, effectively and efficiently.
- Most don't listen to their immediate supervisor. Over the course of time, we've come to find that most (commonly) don't listen to their supervisor. This focus statement taught us that most people don't listen to the instructions of their immediate supervisor gives. They do something called "winging it." I've heard it said that when you don't take notes, have something to write with and on, you never intended to take any actions. Just by the simple fact that you brought nothing to write with, is a key indicator to the one you report that you never intended on doing anything with the information provided. To be unlike the rest starts by being prepared with pad and pen in hand at every meeting and encounter with your supervisor.
- Most don't know how to listen. This focus statement taught us how to listen to the one whose opinion matters, our supervisors. Most people (more than 51% of them) don't know how to listen. You see listening requires you be intentional about information gathering. Your job is to listen for your key takeaways. Anytime your superior gives directives, you must be asking is this for me and if so, write it down so you can make a plan to accomplish it.
- Most don't know how to set a deadline. This focus statement taught us that most (normal people) don't know how to set educated deadlines. When asked when can something be completed, the majority give an uneducated guess without doing any analysis or evaluation of plans. To be uncommon, you must know what's on your plate and the priorities of the same, so that you can with intelligence speak to when you can accomplish a new task. Remember the goal is to meet a deadline.
"A Deadline is a Deadline." This focus statement seems very simple until you give some thought to how often you miss a deadline or how often you make an excuse for missing the deadline. By the way, this is common behavior. If you want to become a member of the extraordinary group of employees or team members, you'll need to find a way to put the excuses to bed.
Today is Friday!
I've just shared with you the focus statement, "a deadline is a deadline." With it, we reveal what normal (average) people do and if you chose to do differently with setting deadlines, then you'll become an exceptional employee, person, and a team player.
Until next week, share this with someone who've found it difficult to consistently meet their deadlines.

About Employing 8X7.5 Magnets for Out of Box Marketing Strategies
You might have heard the term Out of Box several times during all these years and understood that it means you have to be exceptional. Perhaps you have attempted it over various print and social media platforms, too. Have you ever thought of synchronizing the term with magnet advertising? This blog educates about employing 8×7.5 magnets for out of box marketing strategies. We have only tried to tell you elements that you can incorporate over these customized magnets, while designing an out of box marketing strategy.
Identify Your Real Clients
Although magnet advertising allows you to get viral and touch base with all your clients, still you need to court the ones, who may contribute to your business. This type of conviction only comes through years of industrial experience. For example – If you sell apparel and have noticed that women in their 20's are your customers than those in 50's. Perhaps you can urge them to share their contact details with you whenever they purchase from you. Use contact details to court them for further purchases. You better know how to make this situation out of the box than we telling you. Isn't it? Don't forget to employ customized 7.5 x8 magnets for the purpose.
Meet Them Where They Don't Expect You
It may sound that funny, but it works! You can hand over 8×7.5 magnets printed with your brand information during tradeshows, movie screenings, or other places. Here is a brilliant example to consider – a less-known travel agency tried to build brand impact by pursuing customers during a tradeshow. The travel agency representatives greeted people at the welcome area and urged them to try their win free vacation program. They asked people to like their Facebook page immediately through hand held tablets and took down their contact details. Furthermore, they organized small travel game programs for people to prove that they are real. This not only helped them to canvas consumers, but also helped them to ease and mix up with people on personal level.
Least Not the Last Think Unconventionally and Uniquely
Tell us, what is the difference in your bakery advertising "60% discount on pastries" or others advertising "save 30% on creamy and crispy croissants + 30% on fat." Perhaps you are giving them savings more than they expect, whereas the other marketer is giving them assurance of health, which will keep them going for long, even after enjoying the pastry! You have to find opportunities to package your services and products uniquely. You can present your business over these custom magnets 8×7.5 in places, where they are least expected.
The success of Out of Box Marketing largely depends on your ability to create, converge, and converse. You can attempt various marketing strategies over customized 7.5 x8 magnets because it offers large room for experimentation. By ordering these promotional magnets from any reputed online eCommerce store, you can save on online design proof, art setup, shipping, full color printing, and efforts!

Seen here looking like your math teacher.
That's the alias of Dennis Rader, who gave himself the name BTK (it stood for "bind, torture, kill"). He was a serial killer who was active from 1974 to 1991, murdering 10 people (he wasn't caught until 2005). This was 1979, right in the heart of his rampage, and Rader stalked Anna Williams for months. Finally, while she was out, he broke in, cut the phone lines, picked out a few souvenirs to take home for his collection and waited.
And waited. And waited.
"It's like she doesn't even want to be murdered."
When Williams got home, she found that her house had been broken into, and that her phones were dead. She looked through the house to find ... there was no one there.
Rader had gotten tired of waiting and just left.
Two months later, Williams got a letter from BTK that included a poem called "Oh Anna Why Didn't You Appear?" Because chicks dig poems, especially ones about how you planned to brutally murder them.

For most of us in Southern California, the wonderful new mortgage rates of 5% and below are unattainable dreams. The reason? You can't refinance if you owe more than your home is worth. In fact, traditional refinances are only for those who have at least 80% equity in their homes. With home values dropping like stones around here, that's not easy.
Obama's recently announced Housing Stabilization Plan is changing all that. The plan, announced last week, is specifically targeting those homeowners who are making their payments and attempting to be as responsible as they can. It's difficult, though, to continue making the $3000 a month payments on your $430000 mortgage when your home is worth only $330,000. It's tough paying that 7% or 8% rate, looking forward to the balloon in a couple of years, when you know that 5% or 4% rates are currently available.
Details of the new plan will be announced next week, sometime after March 4th, but we do know a few parts to the initiative. It will be for owner-occupied properties. The plan specifically eliminates "speculators" or "flippers" and targets owner-occupied properties. Word is, though, that properties that were primary residences and then turned into rentals as the owner-occupant moved into a better home may be considered.
Beyond this, we know that the plan will allow up to 105% of loan to value instead of the traditional 80%. The example given in the white paper from the White House is the following: A family purchased a home for $260,000with a 30-year mortgage of $207,000 at 6.5%. Today, the family owes $200,000, but the value of the property is now $221,000. They can refi with the new plan at 5.1% and save $2300 per year.
And we know that the first mortgage is what will be used to make the determination. Rates of 3% and 4% have been mentioned. The Obama administration thinks that about 4 to 5 million homeowners might be helped with this plan.
Of course, refinancing means getting a new loan. The borrower must be current with his existing mortgage, have good credit and have the income to qualify for the new loan. Also, as with any refi, costs do accrue for appraisal, title insurance and other closing costs, most of which can be added to the balance of the loan.
Can't qualify for a refi? Not to worry–maybe you can get a loan mod. Stay tuned. That's for the next post.

In the project «SAM & Me» we develop and test a virtual butler for elderly people who have no interest in the latest technology. SAM should know the individual needs and the current context of use and be able to adapt accordingly. He provides the most important functionality in a simple and intuitive interface.
SAM was researched during an 18-month Innosuisse project and tested in households in the Lucerne area for three weeks in a field test. 14 persons between 65 and 88 years of age and their relatives took part in the field test.
Based on the positive feedback from the field tests and the iHomeLab tours, it is now our goal to bring the butler SAM to even more people. We are currently talking to various partners about this. Because who would not like to have their own personal butler at home?

The iHomeLab and Samsung have developed a prototype in the project «Pontis» that can control a TV by brain activities, enabling users with physical limitations to change channels and adjust sound volume with their brains. «Pontis», supported by innosuisse, aims to provide more accessibility and convenience for everyone, including those with physical disabilities such as quadriplegia. Martin Kathriner, Head Public Affairs, Samsung Electronics Switzerland GmbH will be presenting the project in a session at the 2018 Samsung Developer Conference in San Francisco, 7 – 8 November 2018.
In order to address the growing influence of Data Science, FTAL, the Association of Swiss Schools of Engineering, Architecture and Life Sciences, organises a scientific conference on applied research activities of their member schools in this field. This first joint research conference of Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences on Data Science is designed for scientists, professors, and Master students, as well as for industrial partners. One of the goals of FTAL18 conference is to show UAS's research and applied activities in Data Science.
At FTAL, researchers of the iHomeLab will present selected results from the NILM@I project. The aim of this project is to apply the latest approaches from Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) to the industrial sector. The majority of research in the NILM area is concerned with load breakdown in private households. In the industrial sector, this topic has received little attention so far. Our project shows the possibilities and limitations in this area and aims to make new data sets available to other researchers.
The objective of the DACH+ conference series on Energy Informatics is to promote the research, development, and implementation of information and communication technologies in the energy domain and to foster the exchange between academia, industry, and service providers in the German-Austrian-Swiss region and its neighboring countries (DACH+).
Patrick Huber, researcher at iHomeLab, is presenting a poster at this year's DACH+ conference which takes place in Oldenburg. The poster is designed to answer the question of whether historical electrical consumption data can be used to predict when a device will be in use the next day. The iHomeLab researchers are particularly interested in this in connection with optimising personal consumption and modelling human behaviour. The presented work compares different approaches on different data sets with each other. It turns out that electrical consumption alone, even with complex approaches, delivers only moderately good results and that additional information is probably necessary for a more precise prediction.
Every year in Europe, free programming courses are offered for two weeks. The aim is to get people excited about ICT, as a large part of the future professions and products will have to do with it. At the Meet&Code event, which started at the iHomeLab Visitorcenter, many facets of the «Internet of Thing» (IoT) were shown. The children helped enthusiastically with the demonstration and were even allowed to operate many devices themselves. Afterwards they learned on a tablet with a graphical programming «language» what to tell the computer step by step until a little cat dances around on the tablet screen. The children's joy at meowing or singing and other cat capers was ultimately only surpassed by the two Lego robots, which they could also program with a building block language. The visitors were enthusiastic about the gained insight into IoT and were amazed how much fun computer science and technology can be.
By measuring the total consumption of a household, is it possible to say when which appliance is switched on and how much energy it requires? This question concerns researchers and manufacturers who met at the NILM Workshop 2018 in Duisburg: the latest approaches, results, applications and industrial products were presented and discussed here. NILM stands for Non Intrusive Load Measurement, i.e. the measurement of loads without specifically connecting them to a measuring device.
Patrick Huber, researcher at iHomeLab, presented the "NILM@I" project at the workshop, which was carried out in cooperation with Camille Bauer Metrawatt AG. In this project, Deep Learning was used to show that load breakdown is in principle feasible even in the hitherto little researched field of industrial production, but that many questions remain unanswered.
Internet of Things - IoT everything is networked! Visit our free event, which is suitable for young and old (from 8 years).
Every year, free programming courses are offered in Europe for two weeks. The aim is to get people excited about ICT, as a large proportion of future professions and products will have points of contact with this topic.
iHomeLab employees will show examples of how people can communicate with electronic helpers, for example by speaking, with objects or by hand signals. We explain how all this is programmed and then we say: tackle it yourself. The participants can make a small figure dance themselves and make virtual balls fly or flash!

The future brings a strong increase in networked devices, the Internet of Things (IoT). An interesting question is whether such devices help or hinder us in the energy transition. On behalf of the BFE, we prepared a study on the subject of «Energy Aware IoT». The aim of the study is to estimate the potential benefits of «Energy Aware IoT» devices in Smart Energy Management applications. To this end, we have analyzed various scenarios and achieved initial results, which we report on in this newsletter. This can form a basis for further research.

A delegation from LimbicLife, with company founder and designer of the Limbic Chair Patrik Künzler, recently visited the iHomeLab. He also brought along the Limbic Chair VR and demonstrated it on site. The Limbic Chair VR is currently in the offices of iHomeLab, where it is critically tested by our curious staff.
Sitting in the Limbic Chair induces movements that activate the limbic system of the brain, which is responsible for memory and learning processes, motivation, and emotions.

As part of the «Coop Gemeine Duell von Schweiz.bewegt» the Eglitrail was held in Horw on Saturday, 16 June 2018. With the Eglitrail the groups made themselves analogous to the well-known Foxtrail on the traces of the Egli's and crossed Horw. From 8:00 until 15:15, a group started every 15 minutes. Around 160 adults and children hunted the Horw heraldic animal and experienced the lake community from a different, new and exciting side. Among other things, the Eglitrail led them to the iHomeLab.
Here are a few impressions ...
The iHomeLab of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and Samsung have developed a prototype in the «Pontis» project that makes it possible to change a channel or regulate the volume only with the thoughts on the television. The project was supported by innosuisse.
On May 4, the Department of Engineering & Architecture opened its doors and gave all interested parties an insight into everyday study life. Lectures, laboratories and the iHomeLab could be visited under the motto «Experience training up close».
In the project "MyLifeMyWay" the project team is making good progress with the development of the personal avatar Anne. The roll-out of the improved second version of the system is currently underway with over 60 end users in Switzerland, the Netherlands and Belgium. For this purpose, intensive tests are carried out. New functions such as video communication with personalized contact directory, various games and local radio stations are now available. This allows users an entertaining, interactive use of Anne. Based on the feedback from the first field test, significant improvements in the user interface were achieved. Initial feedback from Swiss users confirms that the project team is on the right track and that the product is developing well.
Living at home for as long as possible is a widespread desire. New markets are emerging as a result of the increasing demand for a wide variety of (communication) technologies, services and support offerings. This will also have a massive impact on the development of the residential building stock and its management. The facets of this dynamic were the focus of the 14th ETH Forum Wohnungsbau, at which the head of the research group Rolf Kistler also gave a presentation on the topic «Living at Home as Long and Well as Possible with Ambient Assisted Living».
TecDays support technology education at secondary schools. Students spend a day attending interactive technology and science modules which offer an insight into practical use and facilitate exciting discussion with specialists.

The Swiss 2050 Energy Strategy envisages almost all the existing analogue electricity meters installed in Swiss households being replaced with digital smart meters. These new «intelligent» devices record total consumption at short time intervals (seconds to minutes), creating numerous new energy saving options.
The BFE-funded «SmartNIALMeter» project is examining one of these options, the provision of detailed, direct energy consumption breakdowns for individual household appliances such as washing machines, fridges or boilers. This information raises customers' awareness of how much electricity they are consuming and enables them to reduce this figure by optimizing behaviour.

Negawatt in the making: Ghanaians host the first energy efficiency Challenge
March 29, 2015 Editor Comments Off on Negawatt in the making: Ghanaians host the first energy efficiency Challenge
As a rapidly urbanizing capital, Accra, Ghana has been experiencing increased economic activity, coupled with rising migration. An increase in urban residents means an uptick in the demand for energy, both electricity and fuel.
The city has constrained human and financial resources to respond to this issue, as energy supply is struggling to keep up with ever-growing demand. Consequently, severe electricity shortages occur at the national level, resulting in frequent load shedding and energy price inflation, to the tune of 12 percent in the third quarter of 2014 alone.
Dumsor or load shedding has become part of the everyday life of local inhabitants; in fact, it is such a chronic issue that it has even made it into Wikipedia. Under the current timetable, residential customers have up to 24 hours of power outage for every 12 hours of power and are forced to use back-up power, kerosene lamps or be without power. At the same time, the Energy Commission of Ghana estimates that every year end-use electricity waste is around 30 percent of all of the electricity consumed, which in part, is due to the inefficiency of appliances and their overuse by the population. As is well known, inefficient use of energy contributes to higher levels of energy consumption than needed.
Although energy supply in the city is so often an issue, creative energies are bubbling in local information technology and innovation hubs, ready for a "spillover" into other sectors such as energy. Accra is home to a growing community of technologists and innovators, offering great and untapped potential for a new force to offer solutions, particularly, in the area of energy efficiency.

ALEXANDRIA, VA — The American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery Foundation has released the first ever multi-disciplinary, evidence-based clinical practice guideline to improve the diagnosis and management of tinnitus, the perception of sound—often ringing—without an external sound source. The guideline was published today in the journal Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery.
"Tinnitus affects 10-15% of adults in the United States. It is the most common service-related disability among our military veterans. Yet despite its prevalence and effect on quality of life, prior to this there weren't any evidence-based guidelines about managing tinnitus," said Sujana S. Chandrasekhar, MD, a co-author of the guideline.
One of the strongest recommendations in the guideline is that clinicians differentiate between bothersome tinnitus and nonbothersome tinnitus. "About 20% of adults who experience tinnitus require clinical intervention, the rest are experiencing nonbothersome tinnitus," explained Dr. Chandrasekhar.
The guideline, developed by a panel including representatives for otolaryngologists, geriatricians, primary care physicians, nurses, psychiatrists, behavioral neuroscientists, neurologists, radiologists, audiologists, psychoacousticians, and tinnitus patients, gives healthcare providers a framework for care and support in mitigating the personal and social impact that tinnitus can have. The guideline's recommendations are made by experienced clinicians and methodologists, according to the best scientific evidence.
The guideline authors are: David E. Tunkel, MD; Carol A. Bauer, MD; Gordon H. Sun, MD, MS; Richard M. Rosenfeld, MD, MPH; Sujana S. Chandrasekhar, MD; Eugene R. Cunningham Jr, MS; Sanford M. Archer, MD; Brian W. Blakley, MD, PhD; John M. Carter, MD; Evelyn C. Granieri, MD, MPH, MSEd; James A. Henry, PhD; Deena Hollingsworth, RN, MSN, FNP; Fawad A. Khan, MD; Scott Mitchell, JD, CPA; Ashkan Monfared, MD; Craig W. Newman, PhD; Folashade S. Omole, MD; C. Douglas Phillips, MD; Shannon K. Robinson, MD; Malcolm B. Taw, MD; Richard S. Tyler, PhD; Richard W. Waguespack, MD, and Elizabeth J. Whamond.
Members of the media who wish to obtain a copy of the guideline or request an interview should contact: Lindsey Walter at 1-703-535-3762, or [email protected] Upon release, the guideline can be found at www.entnet.org.

I'm a huge advocate for reading whatever at whatever age. I read some so-called grown up books when I was a kid, and now I read so-called kid's books, even picture books, all the time even though I don't have kids. As a matter of fact, I just bought a copy of The Napping House, which is a wonderful picture book. So this may be a long shot on the bunny book, but it wasn't Bunnicula, was it? I loved Bunnicula when I was little. It's about a vampire bunny who sucks the juice out of vegetables. So cute!

Shalmali - YES. That's the one!! :) It was awesome.
Julie - Well, I am glad someone agrees! My mom thinks it's crazy that I won't let her give away all my childhood books!!
Lol, Bunnicula sounds like a fun book! :) But the one I was talking about was called "In the land of the sunbeam bunnies" apparently! Actually, I hardly remember what the book was - it was so long ago - but I remember that I loved it!

Before you start, you ought to have a closer look for your computer and understand specifically precisely what is running on your PC. This is to be sure whether you will find any malicious objects on your hard drive or otherwise. You can use Microsoft Process Explorer to execute this. When your personal computer is performing perfectly run Process Explorer to make a baseline from the processes which might be running your PC.

got an excellent pc computer deal. You took it home, unpacked it, ran the typical rat's nest of cables, plugged it right into a good surge protector and turned it on.

This is a fresh desktop computer. What's your? That my good friend, is junkware or shovelware even as we accustomed to refer to it. It is a lot of "try it, you may want it and buying it" software
People are increasingly becoming aware of the need for e-waste management. However, a significant segment of population remains passive about proper waste management.

Inappropriate disposal of e-waste migh result into serious health implications.
Traditionally firms that needed emergency tech support for his or her PCs, servers, or networks had to call a neighborhood computer support provider and hold off until an engineer was Doraemon Open World Game Download to come on-site. This could take hours as well as days in some instances. Often a minimum charge of just one or maybe more hours will be billed even if the work only required fifteen minutes.

➤ Licensing Court – "Hotelkeepers were treated to their quarterly lecture at the regular sitting of the licensing court.
The theme for this quarter's lecture was gambling in licensed hotels. The commissioners had found tables with holes in the center in all but one hotel—and while none of the hotelkeepers were charged with allowing gambling, they were told to avoid the appearance of evil.
"Tables with holes in the center were intended for gambling purposes and the commissioners did not license gambling joints, they licensed hotels."
Another licensing issue came before the court when "A. Bourke's application for a hotel license for the Ottawa House was refused. An objection was voiced by the police magistrate when he stated that the building was not fit for a hotel. The court was not going to grant a hotel license for a shack."
➤ Mistaken Identity – "Mr. Wickwire, the enterprising manager for W.M. Law & Co., is occupying his spare moments in studying the Italian language. He made his first attempt to hold a little conversation with a swarthy-looking customer yesterday, but as the man turned out to be a Russian, no headway was made in this conversation."
➤ Advertisement – The P. Burns & Co. in Greenwood is advertising that they deal in "Fresh and Cured Meats; Fish and Oysters; Live and Dressed Poultry" and will deliver meats to all mine sites free of charge, and will "attend to all mail orders promptly." Other shops "for the Boundary Creek division are located at Cascade, Grand Forks, Niagara and Midway."
➤ Railway Construction – "It is now almost certain that railway construction will commence in the vicinity of Greenwood before the end of the year. The contractors are busy grading within 8 miles of Greenwood. The C.P.R.'s physician at Cascade, Dr. Foster, has received instructions to move to Greenwood in a very short time."
➤ Municipal Election Campaign – "There are two candidates in the field for the mayoralty contest in Greenwood. Mr. Ralph Smailes is the manager for Rendell & Co. He is a shrewd and careful business man. With Mr. Smailes in the chair we feel sure that municipal business would not be carried on in an irregular and haphazard fashion. Mr. Thomas Hardy is a member of the Russell Hardware Company and has always shown himself to be an enterprising and public-spirited citizen and has always taken a keen interest in public affairs. With these two candidates, the electors have some assurance that Greenwood will not be without a good mayor . . . Mr. Smailes will, in our opinion, be the next mayor.
"He is the right man for the position. The Times will use every effort towards securing his election." (ed. – Mr. Hardy won, 81 to 60 votes. So much for biased media coverage.)

There is no "one size fits all" at BBH. We believe in the power of difference to make a difference. If you surprise people, then they'll sit up. If you speak a different language to everyone else, then they'll listen. If you craft your message with love and originality, then that message will land harder. If you give people something useful that makes their lives a little bit better, then they'll thank you. Everything we do is born out of the pursuit of difference. We fill our building with people who are different. We like to work with people who are different.
Our enduring commitment to difference is best embodied by The Black Sheep. It represents our businesses, our culture, and the people who work here.
Account Executives are the foundations of our account teams. They create an effective working environment without which the teams and the agency cannot function.
They are the person the team looks to get stuff sorted – to get everyone in the right place at the right time, to be that supportive crutch for their teams, to know what's going on and to be one step ahead.
This requires optimism and enthusiasm, speed and reliability, an obsessive attention to detail and the confidence to take the initiative.
The Account Executive is a true apprentice – learning by doing, but also observing and assimilating the very best practice of the people around them, and asking questions to progress from executing to managing.

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
Many athletes and active persons will experience an injury at some point in their lives. Others may also be put in a similar situation if their body has endured a recent trauma such as a car accident.
These types of incidents can be difficult to recover from, especially when fascial restrictions, adhesions, and scar tissue begin to develop. One type of treatment that is currently being explored in the rehabilitation of such cases is instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM).
What is Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization?
IASTM is a kind of manual physical therapy that uses tools to aid REHAB AT WORK in the location and treatment of your injury. These tools are typically made of stainless steel, and are each specially shaped to treat a particular area of the body.
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization is quite helpful in helping individuals to recover from injury, but it can also be used to help treat other conditions such as:
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Sprains
- Tendinitis
- Muscle strains
- Fractures and dislocations
What Happens During IASTM?
Prior to beginning instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization treatments, your physical therapist will likely conduct a few tests to get a clear depiction of your current abilities as well as potential areas for improvement.
Once the soft tissue dysfunction has been identified, the therapist will run the instrument over the affected area. Applying adequate amounts of pressure to the tissues has been shown to help:
- Improve mobility
- Decrease pain
- Stimulate the area for quicker recovery
Research surrounding IASTM is still relatively new. However, it is very encouraging. Multiple studies have shown marked improvements in patients who implemented instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization for a number of weeks after their injury or repair surgery.
If you would like to learn more about instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), call REHAB AT WORK, serving Maryland, Virginia and the D.C. Area at (888) 827-6361 today.

Do you want to give you bathroom a new look without re-tiling, painting or or spending more than $200? It's possible. Bathrooms are the often overlooked room in our home because they have to serve so many functions, but they can still look good.
Maybe you live in an apartment or rent a house and you want to make your bathroom look nice but you can't paint or tile. Or maybe you own your own home but you don't have the budget to do a major renovation. Whatever the reason, you can make your bathroom look better without spending a lot of money. Try adding a few of these to your bathroom to get a new look.
Install Floating Shelves
These can be a nice way to add interest to your bathroom if you can't change anything permanent. They are not normally meant to hold a lot of heavy things, so hang them only with the intent to hold light things. It's a nice way to add storage for things like toilet paper, hand towels or Q-tips.
Use Baskets for Storage
Baskets can be the perfect way to add texture to your bathroom and they are functional. You can use them to store towels, hold nick knacks or even as a trash can. It's nice to have baskets that coordinate if you use multiple baskets. This makes it look intentional.
Hang Art in Your Bathroom
Sometimes we don't think of art as something that we need in the bathroom. Bathrooms are just like every other room. A small piece of art hung in just the right spot can make your bathroom feel finished and can also tie together the colors in your bathroom. Read this article to figure out the color palette of your bathroom.
It's best to hang art that is protected behind glass since there is a lot of water in a bathroom. Something small like these can really complement your bathroom and you can download them.
Hang Window Shades
If you are lucky enough to have natural light in your bathroom, you will most likely want something to give you some privacy. The bathroom is tricky because you may also have to worry about water.
A curtain may need to tolerate wetness. If you have a window in a shower area there are some nice window decals that can provide privacy without blocking light. Wayfair has a lot of great choices for window decals like this Highland Dune window decal.
Add a Small Rug
I'm not talking only about a bath mat, I mean a rug in the bathroom. Depending on your comfort level, you may want a rug that is washable. I like to put wool rugs even though you can't "wash" them. They can be cleaned with a hand held steamer which I also use to clean up pet problems.
I found the first beauty on Overstock.com. It's only $55. At that price, even if the cat yaks on it I won't be devastated, and it's wool so it feels lush underfoot. I found the Moroccan rug on Rugsusa.com and the striped rug on Amazon.
Hang a Fun Shower Curtain
Shower curtains have fallen out of favor compared to glass doors lately, but if you don't have a budget for glass there are some beautiful curtains available. These can add some much needed texture to your bathroom, and you can change them out without spending a lot if you get tired of the pattern.
Here are a few of my favorites, all from Target. The pink one is a bit of a splurge at $60, but the other two are under $20.
- Target black & white fringe shower curtain
- Target Georgiana Metallic triangle
- Target Gingham checkered shower curtain
Add Small Plants
If you have no windows in your bathroom, you may need to use a fake plant. Even fake plants can add a bit of life to your bathroom. If you are going with fake/faux plants try Target or Pier 1 for small ones.
Nice Looking Necessities
The bathroom can be the home of some pretty unsightly items like plungers and toilet cleaners. You may not want to see these, but there are some nice storage units that make it not quite so obvious what they are. They have their own little enclosure so you aren't looking at the nasty rubber plunger.
There are inexpensive choices at Target and Amazon.
Have you tried to spruce up your bathroom on a tight budget? What were your best finds?

For this card, I wanted to create a fun shaker card! This was only my second time creating a shaker card and my first time doing one that was a circle. I looked up several tutorials on Youtube and decided to use the fun foam method. It worked out pretty well, I think and I'll probably use it again when doing a circle shaker. For the insides, I just used some inexpensive sequins from the craft section at Wal-Mart.
Here's a side view:
