Delayed-immediate autologous breast reconstruction may allow for maintenance of the breast skin envelope as compared with delayed reconstruction with the temporary insertion of a tissue expander. The authors compared perioperative complications and revision surgery rates of comparative cohorts to determine which method is preferable. Methods: Delayed-immediate reconstruction was defined as placement of a temporary tissue expander in the first stage at the time of mastectomy before flap reconstruction, which occurred following postmastectomy radiation therapy. Delayed reconstruction was categorized as mastectomy with primary closure in the first stage followed by flap reconstruction. Results: One hundred fifty-two patients and 192 breasts met the study criteria for this retrospective review (delayed reconstruction, 118 breasts; delayed-immediate autologous breast reconstruction, 74 breasts). Patient age and body mass index were similar between groups (p > 0.05). Perioperative first-stage complication rates were 8.5 percent in the delayed group and 10.8 percent in the delayed-immediate cohort (p = 0.81). Total flap loss (2.5 versus 4.1 percent; p = 0.68) and arterial (1.7 versus 1.4 percent; p = 0.82) and venous (4.3 versus 5.4 percent; p = 0.73) anastomotic revision rates were similar between the cohorts, respectively. Reoperative surgery occurred in 11.9 percent versus 9.6 percent in the delayed and delayed-immediate cohorts, respectively (p = 0.69). Conclusions: In comparing two treatment algorithms, flap-related complication rates are comparable. First-stage surgery results in a slightly increased complication rate in the delayed-immediate cohort. Improved overall results with delayed-immediate reconstruction are implied, given significantly decreased rates of revision surgery following flap reconstruction.

TAG Team's Everest Journey, the Story of Miles and Memories!
It's a known cliché that not everyone can climb Everest. But let's elaborate it- not every strong man can climb Everest; not every experienced can climb Everest; and not every committed can climb Everest. And another one, not every spring morning brings the news of triumph on Everest. So, the success story of Everest is the concoction of so many things: skill, strength, fortitude; and the most important one, the benevolence of the Mountain itself. The Mountain will test so much of you – the sheer exhaustion, the anguish and the helplessness- and take you virtually to the edge of yourself – the liminal countdown between your life and death. You are all the time living the paradox; too close yet too distanced, too tranquil yet too turbulent, and too lively yet too close to mortality! Despite these, Everest, which is more than a monumental mountain; doesn't cease to intrigue, allure and entice people. Every year, hundreds of people round the world are drawn to this Himalayan country to conquer Everest, or to put it straight, to let it be conquered! .
After two consecutive years of devastation and despair caused by avalanche and earthquake, TAGnepal also has a group of mountaineering enthusiasts to attempt Everest summit. Along with 9 support Sherpas, there were 9 members from International team including Facundo Arana (Argentina) the famous South American star, Corvalan Ulises Javier (Argentina), Ulehla Maria Alejandra (Argentina), Jean Manuel (Argentina), Valencia Coroma Aldo Hiram (Mexico), Nicolas Bossard (Switzerland), Elizabeth Barbara Patricia Rose (Canada), Azim Afif Bin Ishak (Malaysia) and Farul Aidib Bin Mahamad Yusoff (Malaysia). The Expedition means more than a regular adventure not only to the climbing members but also to the company, as it was the company's maiden Everest Expedition. So, there was lots of anticipation and hope at play about this year's Expedition.
From 8th April onwards, the members started milling about in Kathmandu. After some days of Kathmandu stay for last minute shopping and preparation, on12th April, the team including the crew set off for Tibet, the gateway to the northern face of Everest. A week's travel through Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse and Shegar and finally to Base Camp was more than just acclimatization or bodily adjustment to the immediate environment. It was also about blending with the local culture, respecting people's way of life and venturing on some soul-searching journey of connectivity. Either its disbelieving at the magnificence of Potala Palace, wandering at the lulling juniper scented Bharkhor Street, cleansing the soul at the sight of holy Yamdrok Lake, sharing butter tea with one of the nomads, posing with Mastifs or just being mummified at the wilderness of Tibetan plateau; the trekkers were left awe stricken throughout. The more they trod further in this trans Himalayan country, the more they went deeper into a mystical journey.
Once they reached Base Camp, their real journey started. Time was crucial and life critical; adapting to the newly gained altitude, training, tedious back and forth journey, health anomalies, homesickness and being reduced to an entity supplied just with some survival elements. For about five weeks, the trail continued and the morning of 23 May 2016 was not just another Monday. The whole team, every single member and Sherpa climber, finally made it to the summit! The dream, some might have pursued openly, some might have cornered in heart the whole life; finally came true. All stepped on the summit, an identical gesture; but what they achieved differs from person to person. For Jake Norton, a celebrated climber and photographer, it's a place of catharsis. For, Sir Edmund Hillary, the Everest pioneer, the summit gave him a feeling of great satisfaction. So, the experiences can be myriad. However, the singular truth of this mountaintop is people will be overwhelmed with the vastness around and the insignificance of oneself amongst the infinitude.
Just a usual day at one of the Camps
The retracing journey, as any other return journeys, was quicker than going up. Mission was accomplished and the home was calling! But we can't call it "hasty" as the journey back has claimed more lives than going up. Safe and steady! Amid some encounters with threatening weather now and then, they successfully landed at Base Camp-unharmed and victorious finally! Within a week, the team was in Lhasa and then after landed in Kathmandu, the entry and exit point of all trekkers and mountaineers in the Himalaya. All the members were welcomed overwhelmingly by TAGnepal and the well-wishers; everyone was with tanned face but great smiles, exhausted but not defeated! In one of the formal functions, the happy climbers shared words about their wordless moments.
Facundo Arana, the famous South American actor who is also a cancer survivor and working for the solidarity shared some words of insight. Recalling his memories, he said, "As we were coming to the North Col at 7,900 m the wind started blowing hard. I don't know a lot of people who can listen to nature when it speaks. But Tendi (the expedition leader) was standing there facing the wind, and he said, 'We have to go down now, we are not safe here.' So we went down, and the next day the tents in camp 2 were all destroyed." So, the charisma about climbing Everest is not just about steeping one's foot at the top of a rock which has sustained to soar higher than others, its also about meeting some awakening moments, sometime being able to talk to Nature and sometime meeting people who can talk to her. Finally, every member returned home to be welcomed as heroes and achievers who have seen, learnt and most importantly outlived themselves.
This way, Everest journey for this season has come to an end with ecstasies, memories and awakenings. However, it has finished just for us! The Mountain will continue to Be there, making the humans realize both their insignificance and uncompromising worth of their life at the same time, sometime with malice and sometime with grace!

What she didn't know was that Duffer was joking when he asked her about the kiss scene. On seeing her reaction, however, he decided it would be hilarious to write one in. In his own words: "You reacted so strongly to this -- I was just joking -- and you were so freaked out that I was like well, I gotta make her do it now ... that's why I'm saying it's your fault." To be fair, he's only 15 and it's normal for kids his age to be complete d- wait, she's 15?! OK, this story is even more messed up than we thought.
They could have almost turned the story around if the directors had then worked with Sink to help her overcome her discomfort in order to make the scene more believable (aka doing their jobs), but nope, they only made fun of her. Clearly, playing troll was more important here.

Introduction on amla.
Different amla oils are produced and used in India. But the best amla oil is organic one.
Read my ultimate guide to know which one is the best, where to buy it, how to use it, its effects and more.
Yes. Amla is a potent inhibitor of 5-alpha reductase. This is exactly how baldness treatments work!
It nourishes them, strengthens them, thickens them, makes them darker and grow faster.
Yes. As it nurtures it, it is stronger but also thicker.
How to choose amla hair oil?
Choose a paraffin-free and additive-free amla oil.
You will find below the one I have been using since I discovered that it is available online in my country. It only contains amla and I love it.
Amla hair products reviews.
The best option and 100% bio and natural: Pure amla oil, my favourite one.
Nothing beats returning to 100% natural with pure oil, which you can use for hair and skin care.
Now it's also possible to find pure amla oil online! According to me, it's the best option.
I use pure aamla oil since a few months and I'm absolutely amazed by the effects as my hair is even thicker! That is quite incredible as it is already very thick.
It also cured the damages made by Patanjali amla oil.
It's the amala oil I recommend you to use.

Bio amla hair oil review – Khadi brand.
It's also possible to find organic ayurvedic products from Indian Khadi brand. It is often more expensive but 100% natural… Well, these are the official ads! The reality is: it contains paraffin – extracted from petrol residues, that explains the smell. Not really 100% bio, right?
Now that I've tested pure alma hair oil, I only recommend Khadi brand for other products like shampoo. Paraffin smells too bad and it's very bad for health according to some studies.

Emami amla plus review.
The first amla oil I used was Emami's oil, without paraffin and with henna, aloe vera and almond. It was my favourite amla oil for long .
Emami amla plus had both a pleasant consistency thanks to almond and a sweet perfume. I used it for years and it's the one that made me addicted to amla oil.
Emami Amla Plus oil has been replaced by "7 oils in one", based on amla and almond as a plus, but also argan, coconut, walnut, olive, jojoba. Indian youths, unfortunately, prefer our artificial western products and Emami followed this trend by making a mixed oil and a new packaging. I haven't tried it as my interest is amla, not oil with only a bit of amla.

Is Patanjali Amla oil good for hair?
During my latest trip of 3 months in India, I couldn't find Amla Plus Emami as it doesn't exist anymore. So I've decided to test amla Patanjali oil as I've heard both good and bad things. I wanted to make my own opinion and give it to you.
I'm extremely disappointed by Patanjali amla oil!
The reasons?
- I lose my hair as much as if I didn't use oil.
- The tips are split.
- My hair does not look very thick and "wild" as it does with other oils.
- While she's supposed to be Ayurvedic, I think she smells like paraffin.
Patanjali is the worst oil I've tested!
Dabur amla hair oil disadvantages.
As I know a lot of people know and use Dabur, it was important to highlight its disadvantages. If I were you, I wouldn't use this oil…
Is Dabur Amla oil good for hair?
The most known and used by the Indians is hair oil Dabur amla. Unfortunately, it contains paraffin.
Several articles deal with the precautionary approach to this substance, which is used in many cosmetic products. In particular, it would prevent the skin from breathing properly.
That also means the oil has a strange consistency, like petrol…
The other disadvantage of this brand is its very unpleasant smell – petrol – if you don't choose its jasmine version. That said the jasmine smell is quite artificial.
I don't recommend you to use it. Since I use a pure amla oil, I can really see the difference between a good and bad oil.

Dabur amla gold review.
You may also find the "Gold" version of amla Dabur oil.
This version adds almond oil and henna to the original recipe. However, its effectiveness on hair loss and growth is less. Its only advantage over conventional oil is its fragrant smell. It also contains paraffin.
I don't recommend it either. It even contains more toxic substances than the classical Dabur amla oil.
What are the benefits of amla oil?
Amla oil has many benefits for hair: it nourishes it deeply, which allows it to be healthy, stronger, thicker and grows faster. It also darkens them (in fact, organic oil gives a pretty chocolate hue) and helps to prevent greying and whitening.
Read the following sections for more details on each of these benefits.
Does amla oil help hair grow faster?
Yes, definitively, amla oil works for hair growth!
Since I use it, my hair grows faster and, as they are in a better health, I don't need to cut it often.
In this article, you will see two pics that were shot before amla in 2012 and two pics 3 years later. The difference is huge!
Does amla oil thicken hair?
I'm already lucky to have the same thick hair than my mother.
But since I use hair oil amla, my hair is even thicker as it doesn't break anymore at the roots level.
With the pure oil I've been using for a few months, it's even more impressive: just after shampooing, my hair waves, grows in volume and keeps it for several days.
Amla oil for hair loss. Is amla efficient against hair fall?
Yes, you got it: as amla reinforces hair, it's also very efficient against hair loss. It's also a potent inhibitor of 5 alpha-reductase, the way to prevent baldness.
With Amla, my hair grows much faster, it is in better health and still brown at 46yo.
Before, my roots tended to be brittle, hence some unsightly loops at the top of the skull…
I couldn't have them very long; otherwise, the tips were very quickly split.
The floor of my apartment was often covered with hair.
Since my amla oil masks, my roots are healthy.
My tips are no longer split at all and I don't need to have them cut very often.
My hair tends to wiggle slightly, which I love and which gives it a very vital look, rather than looking dull and without volume when it was too long before.
It's even better with pure oil
And I don't spend my time sucking hair off the floor anymore!
When I happen to be out of stock, I quickly see the difference.
You can check my article on how to promote hair growth using amla oil, including a video with French, English or Hindi subtitles.
Does alma oil cause hair loss?
NO! Except if you use PATANJALI brand, you will certainly lose your hair more than before.
It's exactly what happened to me!!! Patanjali is only a big business with millions spent in ads. That's why many people in India think it's good when it's the worse oil I've ever used.
I also think this false idea comes from the status of the founder whose pics can been seen everywhere to sell Patanjali products: he's a guru.
Does amla oil darken hair?
Yes. Amla oils delay premature whitening and greying. It darkens hair.
I'm 46 yo and my hair is still very brown.
My bio oil gives a beautiful chocolate color to my hair.
Can it be used on already coloured hair? What the result will be?
One of my readers, Paola, posted this comment to me on Facebook "I am very satisfied with amla oil for my hair… despite the coloring… it whitens less quickly!
Thank you Stephanie for your advice!!!"
Can Amla oil cure grey hair?
I'm 46 years old and my hair is still brown!
I never colour it and rarely discover a lost white hair (genetic, you might say. Maybe… My parents have a lot of advantages in that regard. But maybe not… My two sisters had their first white hair well before 40 years of age, and I've been using shampoos with henna for years, and now amla).
I also notice it has a beautiful chocolate color.
Is amla hair oil efficient against dandruff?
No, not amla oil alone.
But most ayurvedic products combine other plants with alma, and are effective against dandruff (khadi amla, Bhringaraja Amalaki).
For example, you can test the recipe for the amla/bhringaraj/nagarmotha mask shown above.

Amla hair oil: for which color and type of hair?
Sorry for blond and red hair: amla oil is for dark hair only. But wait a minute as I have the perfect solution for you below!
Men and women can use it, whether for hair… or beard!
Amla is very effective on dry and damaged hair like mine was, but also apparently on frizzy hair.
Can I use amla oil on blonde hair?
No. But you can use the ayurvedic oil or powder of Kachur Sugandhi, known for its beautifying effect and stimulating action of growth!
Kachur Sugandhi is also called white turmeric, curcuma zedoaria or Kachur Nar.
Simply use the amla powder recipe below and replace amla by Kachur Sugandhi powder.

Is amla Indian oil effective on frizzy hair?
Yes. If you do a quick search on YouTube, you will find several videos that show the effectiveness of amla on frizzy hair. So yes, amla oil is also effective for frizzy hair!
How to use amla for hair growth and thickness?
How to use amla hair oil?
It is extremely simple! I use it as an overnight hair mask.
- Pour the amla oil into the palm of your hands.
- Apply all over the hair by massaging.
- Emphasize roots and tips.
- Leave it on overnight.
- The next day, do your usual shampoo.
- Repeat the operation twice a week.
Since 2012, I only use amla oil for my hair.
In India, people keep amla in hair all day long. That's why they're so brilliant.
Can I leave Amla oil in my hair?
Yes. Although some people recommend to rinse after 15 minutes, I find it much more effective to leave it overnight or even the whole day.
Can we mix castor oil and Amla oil for hair?
Yes! And this is actually what I do as I have noticed that the result is even better.
I use approximately a 80% (amla) – 20% (castor oil) dosage.

How long amla hair oil have to be used to get good results?
You can see the results immediately since the oil nourishes the hair in depth.
But to optimize growth, first cut off your damaged tips!
Don't believe the charlatans claiming that there is a miraculous oil to make hair grow 30cm in 1 month. It doesn't exist.
Amla oil hair growth results before and after photos.
The two top photos were taken in 2012, at the age of 39.
The next two photos were taken at my birthday party in India in 2015, at the age of 42.
Tips for using amla the right way. Amla oil hair growth before and after – 2012 vs 2018.
I have decided to show you and explain the evolution of my hair's health and growth thanks to amla over the years. You'll soon understand why I'm such a fan of this oil! I will also explain to you the mistakes not to make.
Just before amla in October 2012.
Although people generally like this picture very much, you can notice that my hair was not very healthy.
The roots were brittle and frizzed unsightly, the ends were brittle and the general health of my hair forced me to cut several centimetres at each visit to the hairdresser. A real heartbreak…
My hair has never been in such a state since I use amla!
At the beginning of May 2013, after haircut and at the end of the same month.
Here is the huge mistake I made: not to get my hair cut before I start using amla, so I can start on a healthy basis! I should have done so as soon as I returned from India in November 2012, not in May 2013. This would have really boosted my hair growth, as you will see in the next picture at the end of May 2013.
On this 2nd photo, my hair had already started growing again, remained slightly wavy and you can see how well it was held whereas we were coming back from hiking in the mountains!
Conclusion: cut your hair before starting using amla so you will better benefit of its effects.
August 2013, in Kashmir.
My hair had already grown several centimetres but it was still waving, which was not the case before amla oil!
Yes, I had a nice black eye due to a slip during a trek in the mountains with nomads and horses….
October 2015, after almost 3 years of amla.
I still hate having my hair cut as much as I used to, but I don't need it anymore to keep my hair healthy!
The following picture was taken while I had been in India for a month already and I had not been to the hairdresser for several months. You can see how healthy the roots are and how long they remain.
Now my hairdresser is also a fan of amla because of my hair health!
April 2018, after 5 years and a half of amla.
As you can see, despite their length, my hair is very healthy and full of life.
The hairdresser only refreshes my hair gradient when I go there.
At the end of January 2019, my hair reaches my butt!
I still don't need to do any color (I'm now 46 years old).
Does Amla oil help in beard growth?
Yes. As mentioned above, men can use amla oil for beard growth.Nevertheless, some of my Indian friends use mustard oil instead, which would also delay the arrival of white hair and grey hair while fortifying the hair.For having tested this oil on my hair, its smell is much more masculine and its consistency is different, which makes it more suitable for male hair than female hair.

Navratna oil for hair review.
In Sri Lanka, I tested Navratna oil, based on amla, mint and vetiver.
Sri Lankan women use it for both hair health and relaxing massages.
I wouldn't recommend it for hair care. It is not very effective.
My roots have tended to be brittle again, and my tips a little split…
It even made my hair dry like straw!
However, Navratna oil is great for relaxation. You can also use it in your bath, instead of essential oils. It's very relaxing.

What is the beauty secret of the Indian tribes for their hair?
In Bastar district (Chhattisgarh state), the tribes use 100% natural oil made from Mahua flower.
Double problem: it doesn't smell very good, and I only saw this oil there, sold by the people of the tribes who make it themselves!
It's contained in large metal cans and is poured into a small plastic or another bottle.
It is used only by tribal people, because of the smell that scents others.
Mahua oil is however very effective.
I was able to test it on one hand, which remained incredibly soft two days later!
Don't expect a nice refined oil.
The pure mahua oil of the tribes looks more like melted butter than a liquid oil.
So you must visit my favorite region of India, Bastar, if you want to test this oil!
During my next trip to Central and Northern India, I'll try it and tell you how it worked.
Update of the 25th of April: Mahua oil is actually used only for the skin, not for hair.
Brahmi benefits: brahmi oil for hair growth reviews.
Since many of you are wondering about the benefits of Brahmi oil, I asked my Indian friends about its use and effects.
It appears that Brahmi oil is never used alone for hair, unlike aamla oil.
They all recommended me to use ayurvedic mixed brahmi amla hair oil.

Scientific studies and testimonials.
The scientific studies on amla for hair.
A study conducted in 2012 revealed that amla oil was a potent inhibitor of 5-alpha reductase. Just as finasteride, used to treat male pattern baldness, that also works by inhibiting 5-alpha reductase.
The potential benefits of amla oil for hair and scalp include :
- strengthening of the scalp and hair,
- stimulation of hair growth,
- reduction of premature loss of hair pigments, or graying,
- prevention or treatment of dandruff and dry scalp,
- prevention or treatment of fungal and bacterial infections of the hair and scalp,
- reduction of hair loss,
- the improvement of the general appearance of the hair,
- prevention or treatment of parasitic infections of the hair and scalp, such as head lice infections.
Exactly the kind of thing I could notice on my hair using good alma oils!

In conjunction with the annual event – Microsoft Ignite 2018, Microsoft announced several upgrades to Microsoft Cognitive Services, probably now is also known as Azure Cognitive Services. One of them that catches my attention is the new Neural Text-to-Speech Service.
New Neural Text-to-Speech (Neural TTS) service that marks a new milestone for text-to-speech synthesis. This new service utilizes the deep neural networks to create voices of computers sounds almost like from human. With the human-like natural prosody and clear articulation of words, Neural TTS has significantly reduced the gap of interaction between human and AI. This also to make interactions with chatbots and virtual assistants more natural and engaging, convert digital texts such as e-books into audio books and enhance in-car navigation systems.
Over the past two years, team at Microsoft has achieved significant breakthrough including human parity in conversational speech recognition and human parity in machine translation.
By using deep neural network capabilities, the new service can now overcome the limitations of legacy system that matches patterns of stress and intonation in spoken language and in synthesizing the speech into digital voice. With neural capability, it can do prosody prediction and voice synthesis simultaneously and this results a more fluid and natural-sounding voice.
The service is in preview and currently hosted on Azure Kubernetes Service to leverage the scalability and reliability. It offers two pre-built neural text-to-speech voices in English – Jessa and Guy. Over the coming weeks/months, more languages can be expected, as well as customization services in 49 languages for customers who want to build branded voices optimized for their specific needs.
The following is a few examples shows how close this new service can generate a human-alike voice as compare to the real recorded human voice. I can hardly differentiate whether it is coming from human or Neural TTS until the second one below shows very minor computer-like voice.
|Human Recording
|Neural TTS
|The third type, a logarithm of the unsigned fold change, is undoubtedly the most tractable.
|As the name suggests, the original submarines came from Yugoslavia.
|This is easy enough if you have an unfinished attic directly above the bathroom.
I am really amazed with the power of neural network that closing gap between human and computer interaction.

This might sound odd, but the first film I actually definitively remember seeing at the cinemas was the original Jurassic Park in 1993, when I was 12. I have a memory of maybe seeing The Addams Family in 1991, but like with my other earlier cinema memories, I either don't remember the movie I saw, or I don't know if I saw a particular movie or just have a memory of wanting to see it. But when it comes to Jurassic Park, it's imprinted on my brain as the first film I ever remember seeing on the big screen, and that's good enough for me.
There had been a lot of hype around this new Jurassic Park film, not only because it was the first in nearly 15 years, but also because it seems like they had been talking about making one almost every year since the last one. The trailer looked great, it had an awesome cast, and an idea that at least seemed to be driving the story forward and in a 'different' way, and with a few interesting story elements that looked to ramp up the fun and wow factor, meant I was really pumped to see this.
Luckily, I wasn't disappointed, as despite some of the logic issues the film had, I loved it! The comedy, drama, and action was perfectly mixed, and when the moments that you kind of expected to happen did happen, you didn't roll your eyes in its predictability, but instead gripped the seat in a tense fun filled joy that the original instilled in me when I first saw it. It's not better than the original, but let's be honest, that's a hard first impression to beat, but it's easily the next best film in the series, and with the huge box office numbers it's been doing, I'm looking forward to the next one!
9 out of 10 from me!!!

So! Remember how I was supposed to go on a "romantic" desert getaway a few weeks ago? Well, I went on a food poisoning toilet extravaganza instead. I'm finally making up for it now and while I continue to tromp about the Wild Wild West I'm leaving you in the ever capable hands of Beth Teliho of Writer B is Me. Beth has been lurking around Hacker. Ninja. Hooker. Spy. since the early days and can always be counted on to share an equally bizarre or outrageous story in response. More recently, we've taken our relationship to the next level– she has a way of subscribing to my comments feed, which results in a night full of BZZ BZZ BZZZ notifications that cause her husband to literally "kick Aussa out of the bedroom." Beth still invites me back in when he falls asleep though, but ssshhhh don't tell him.
It was the first trip I'd ever been on with my boyfriend's family. We drove to a little cabin off Lake Palestine in East Texas. There were six of us in total: myself and the boyfriend, his parents, and his sister and her husband.
The cabin was quaint. Rustic. Beautiful. And only had one bathroom.
Wait. What?
Yep. A single bathroom just off the kitchen, which was excellent architectural planning. Who doesn't want to listen to the sound of urine release whilst sipping iced tea?
After unpacking, we all went for a long hike along gorgeous, tree-lined trails. A few hours later we arrived back at the cabin, sweaty, tired, and hungry. My boyfriend's parents started dinner while we each – one by one – used the restroom. I was last.
I walked in and was immediately distracted by the wall of mirrors surrounding the jet tub, so when I sat down, I didn't even notice the seat had been left up.
I watched myself high-pitch-silent-dog-scream in the mirrors as the realization hit me.
I jumped up, holding my bladder with all my strength. I didn't want to look at the seat. I shouldn't have. But my eyes and some sick-twisted force compelled me. It was worse than I'd feared.
I had sat. Right. The fuck. In pee drippings and pubes.
Pardon me while I do a Bugs Bunny freak out.
I could hear the family in the kitchen. What I wanted to do was give myself a chemical bath Chernobyl-style until my skin bled. But I couldn't. How would I explain a spontaneous bath at dinner time? I mean, what if they thought I'd crapped my pants or something?! No. I had to handle it another way.
I grabbed a washrag, lathered it with scalding hot water and an unhealthy amount of soap, and proceeded to wash every part of my body that'd come in contact with the seat. And then some. Thankfully, the running water drowned out the sound of my dry-heaves.
I left the bathroom a different person. A person with a murdered zest for cabin living and suspiciously clean thighs.
Nearly twenty years later, the haunting image of me hovering over the toilet mid-scream is still burned in my brain.
Has anything like this ever happened to you? What's the last thing that's made you high-pitch-dog-scream in horror? Do you have a funny story from a group trip?
Beth Teliho is a wife, mother of two lunatic boys, writer, and artist living in wouldntyouliketoknow, Texas. Writer B is Me is where she unleashes her candid, crazy, sometimes filthy, a little naughty, but-will-always-leave-you-with-a-smile stories. You've been warned.

ONLINE DISCUSSION: Legal pluralism in Madagascar: Can customary and statutory law be reconciled to promote women's land rights?
Experts from the FAO, International Land Coalition (ILC), Landesa, and the Observatoire du Foncier in Madagascar will facilitate an online discussion through the Land Portal from June 3 to 14.
Launched in 2010, the Gender and Land Rights Database (GLRD) was developed with civil society organizations, national statistics authorities, academics and other sources to highlight the major political, legal and cultural factors that influence the realization of women's land rights throughout the world. The GLRD is a practical tool for policy makers and advocates of women's land rights, providing relevant arguments and information to support processes aiming at more gender-equitable land tenure.
Expert and civil society contributions are essential to the proper functioning of the database as they help generate quality information to users. To this end, you are invited to take part in the on-line discussion that will be held through the Land Portal on 3-14 June 2013.
The subject of the discussion will be "Legal pluralism in Madagascar: can customary and statutory law be reconciled to promote women's land rights?".
As Madagascar is moving into Phase II of its tenure reform, it provides an interesting case study of how legal pluralism may restrict or promote women's access to land.
Your contributions are expected to provide valuable input from the field that will feed relevant sections of the database. In particular, the discussion should help identify key initiatives in Madagascar that preserve and promote women's land rights in the context of legal pluralism.
The discussion will be facilitated by experts from FAO, ILC, Landesa and the Observatoire du Foncier in Madagascar. The discussion will be run in French but we welcome contributions in English. Contributions in English will be synthesized and translated on a regular basis.
How can I contribute?
If you already have an account, log-in on the Land Portal and answer to one or more questions posed by the facilitators. If you are not a member yet, sign-up before posting your comments.
For more information on the Gender and Land Rights Database, please visit the website or contact or email@example.com

Dark Magick Rising (Draegan Lords Book 5) by M.L. Rhodes
Copyright 2019 by M.L. Rhodes, All Rights Reserved
All right, gang…are you ready for this adventure?! LOL! I am! I've been working on this book a LOOONG time, so I'm excited to share it with all of you!
This picks up directly at the end of An Unexpected Magick.
So….here we go!
Darkness Rising
The snow, which had begun to fall in earnest around dawn, now completely covered the ground and came almost to Wesley Brannock's ankles as he trudged through the woods. Everything from his soggy boots, to his wet shirt and pants, to the soaked, half-frozen wool cloak draped around him chilled him to the bone, making him wonder if he might have been better off not dressing at all. Or, even more appealing…right about now he'd love to trade it all in and be back in the warmth of the hot springs he and Wen had only recently left behind.
Tempting as it sounded, though, they couldn't go back. He had to get Wen out of this wretched weather. As cold and miserable as Wesley was, he could only imagine it must be ten times worse for Wen after everything he'd been through since last night.
"You doing okay?" he asked, tightening his arm more securely around Wen's waist, offering as much support as he could as they made their way down the narrow path that led from the hot springs to the clearing where Wen's tent lay.
"That's the third time you've asked me since we started walking, Wes."
"Well, I'm worried about you."
"And I love you for worrying, but I'm okay. I told you, I can feel my wounds healing."
"Yeah, but you also said they were prickly and uncomfortable. And you're as pale as a ghost. Plus, wearing wet clothes, hiking through the snow, isn't going to help anything. I'll feel better when you're warmed up and safely in bed."
Wen shook his head. "I swear, you're a worse nag than my mum."
Wesley glanced sidelong at him and raised an eyebrow. "Oh my gods, did you just compare me to your mother? I mean, she's an amazing woman, but somehow I don't think you meant that as a compliment."
"Maybe I did," Wen said, a smile curling up the corners of his mouth.
"No. If you'd said, 'You fight as well as my mum,' I'd be good with that. But, 'you nag as much as her?' Not so much," he said drily.
"If it helps, you are much sweeter than she is."
"If it helps? First I'm a nag and now I'm sweet? You're slaying my ego here."
Wen laughed, and despite how tired he looked, just the sound of his husky chuckle brought a real smile to Wesley's face. It was the best sound in the world, and one Wesley would never, ever take for granted again.
He knew they both needed this…the lightness and teasing banter. But it couldn't truly sweep away the terror of the previous hours, not for Wesley anyway. Nor did it shut out the odd sense of foreboding that plagued him. From the moment they'd climbed out of the hot springs pool, apprehension had been building inside him. It was as if the warm comfort of the water had been protecting them from more than the elements. And once they were back in the frigid, gray, real world, some inner demon kept pestering Wesley with a warning not to get too comfortable.
Wen had spoken of hope this morning, but as much as Wesley wanted to, he struggled to feel it. It wavered just out of his reach, like an ephemeral ray of light that couldn't be captured. And he didn't know why. He'd been trying to shake it off, rationalizing that he had every reason to still be unsettled, considering how close he'd come to losing Wen last night. But it was more than just that. He couldn't put his finger on it; he only knew the anxiety gnawing at him left him off balance and uncertain.
For Wen's sake, however, Wesley tried to force those troubled thoughts aside for the moment.
"I believed, obviously mistakenly," he said, in a teasing tone, "that you were with me because I was rugged and sexy and an impressive fighter."
Wen gave another quiet chuckle. "Don't fish for compliments. You know damn good and well I think you're an incredible fighter, and that you're sexy as sin. But whether you believe it or not, you happen to be sweet, too."
"Please," Wesley mumbled, warmth creeping up his face at the sincerity in Wen's voice.
"It's true," Wen said, glancing at him again. "Sweet, a little shy, a little innocent."
Now Wesley snorted. "You didn't seem to think I was so innocent last night, when I was on my knees in the forest with your cock down my throat. Or have you forgotten that?"
"Oh, I remember," Wen said, giving him a look that held enough heat to melt the snow under their boots. "That's exactly one of the reasons I love you. You never stop surprising me."
Wesley was so caught up in that steamy gaze and the seductive words, he wasn't watching where they were going. "Umph!" he grunted, as he tripped over a thick tree root hidden beneath the snow.
The blow was jarring enough that he and Wen, who was locked in his embrace, almost toppled over. Wesley managed to keep them both from falling, but only just, by grabbing at a low-hanging tree limb nearby. When he glanced at Wen, Wen was grimacing.
"I'm so sorry," he said, helping Wen to straighten.
In spite of his assurances otherwise, Wen was clearly still hurting more than he'd let on. Magick had saved his life last night, but his body hadn't finished healing yet, and Wesley was afraid he might have torn open one of his wounds. "I should have been paying better attention. Are you okay? How bad is it?"
"Wes, please, I'm all right." There was no laughter in his tone now. Only weariness with a hint of frustration.
Wesley winced. "I'm sorry," he said again because he just couldn't help it.
Wen squeezed his hand. "No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be short with you. It's not your fault." He sighed. "I'm just…"
"In pain still? And cold? And tired?" Wesley shook his head and caressed Wen's cheek. "You shouldn't have been trying to hide it from me. You don't always have to be a tough guy, you know? Come on, we're almost to your tent."
They started down the snowy trail again, but Wen's footsteps slowed. "We really need to report in first, to let the others know that the high sorcerer's soldiers were staking out the magick barrier last night as we'd suspected."
"I'll go report in after I get you settled."
"If any of Byram's troops come looking for their friends, we left more than a little mess out there. We need to move the bodies. I can—"
"I'll take care of it."
"I'll deal with it. Damn it, Wen, you have to trust me."
Wen stopped and stared at him in surprise. "Why would you say that? I do trust you."
"Then there's no reason to argue, is there? I'm reporting in and you're going to bed. That's the end of it."
A beat of silence passed as Wen continued to gaze at him. Finally, he shook his head. "Bloody hel. Who knew you'd turn out to be so damned bossy? I'm starting to think I should take back the part about you being sweet."
He sounded hacked off, but Wesley was certain he also heard a trace of humor in Wen's tone as well.
Wesley shrugged. "You said you like it when I surprise you."
"Gods help me," Wen muttered under his breath, which only made Wesley smile as they resumed walking.
He spied the tent through the trees, and with Wen leaning on him, they covered the last bit of ground in silence, the only sounds their staggered breathing and their crunching footfalls in the snow.
Once inside the tent, he helped Wen remove his wet cloak, then shrugged off his own as well. He pulled back the covers on the low, grass-stuffed mattress and eased Wen into a sitting position on it. As their hands met, Wen's felt like ice.
"We've got to get you warm. And then you need some real sleep," Wesley said.
"I did sleep. At the hot springs."
"Being unconscious for hours is not the same thing as sleep, you stubborn ass."
Wen's brows rose. "I'm a stubborn ass now?"
"Sometimes," Wesley said gently, tucking a damp strand of Wen's blond hair behind his ear. "Especially when it comes to getting rest and taking care of yourself."
Wen curled his fingers through Wesley's and squeezed. His tone softened to that low rasp again, the one that turned Wesley's insides liquid. "I'm not the only one who's stubborn; you're cold, too. And some sleep wouldn't hurt you either. You look like you're about to drop in your tracks."
Wesley sighed and lifted their joined hands to his lips, where he pressed a kiss against Wen's fingers. An unexpected wave of lightheadedness washed over him as he did, surprising him at its intensity. It made him realize he probably did need rest. But right now, Wen was his priority. He gave Wen's hand a final squeeze, then untangled their fingers.
"So…you're going to ignore me?"
Wesley scoffed. "How can I possibly be ignoring you when I'm touching you every second?"
"You know what I meant." Wen sighed, but didn't argue when Wesley pressed him back onto the pillow and then moved to the foot of the bed and pulled off his boots.
Wesley had had to cut Wen's shirt off him last night, which left him clad only in his form-hugging leather pants. With Wen lying on the bed watching him, Wesley unfastened the laces and tugged the sodden leather down over Wen's hips and long legs.
Under any other circumstances, he would have taken his time, admiring the view, because, truly, Rowen Daneson was beautiful—tall, blond, lean, yet with sculpted, training-hardened muscle in all the right places. Add to that a fiercely loyal personality and an abundance of inner strength, and he was, by all rights, a being who would make anyone look twice. For weeks Wesley had barely been able to be around him without turning into a hopeless idiot at the sight of him.
But this morning, instead of savoring the view that lay before him, he had to fight to keep from staring too long and hard at the puckered, red, newly healing scar on Wen's abdomen. Or think about its mate on his back where the sword blade last night had been driven into him from behind and come out the front. Or contemplate all the damage the steel had done to Wen's insides before Wesley's ondaen magick had healed him.
Wesley fought a sudden wave of nausea and wasn't sure if it was caused by the visual proof of just how close he'd come to losing Wen last night, or if his own body was trying to remind him that, like Wen, he hadn't had proper sleep for a full day and night.
He suddenly realized Wen was shivering, so he hurried to pull the blankets up over him.
When he did, Wen snagged his hand again. The lightness between them gone completely now, his tone radiated urgency. "Talk to me, Wesley. I'm not the only one who's been hiding things. You know because of our link I can feel your emotions, and they're all over the place right now. They have been ever since we left the hot springs."
Slowly, Wesley sank to his knees beside the mattress. He should have known Wen would pick up on his inner turmoil. With a sigh, he brushed another wayward strand of Wen's hair back off his face. Wen was so pale the golden freckles across his nose and cheeks appeared darker than they really were.
"I'm all right," Wesley said, trying to force calmness into his voice.
"No, you're really not. Come on, love. Tell me what's going on. I'm worried about you." Lines furrowed his forehead as he reached up to caress Wesley's stubbled jaw with his thumb.
Wen was worried about him? He didn't want Wen concerned about him when he should be thinking of his own wellbeing. But he knew he couldn't keep pretending, not when Wen already sensed his upset.
Wesley released a shaky breath. "It's just… I have this horrible feeling in my gut, Wen, that what happened with you last night was only the beginning of…something."
"What kind of something?" Wen asked gently.
"I don't know exactly. It's just a nagging sensation that there's some darker horror on the horizon, watching and waiting to strike. And that's fairly terrifying, since how could there be anything darker than what we've already been through? You almost died last night, Rowen. And I… I can't even…" He choked on the words, unable to continue. Gods, he wanted to be okay, really he did, but the damned knot in his gut just wouldn't let him be.
"Hey," Wen said, cupping his cheek. "Remember what I said earlier? Don't dwell on the dark what ifs. No good comes from that. And there's no reason to anyway because, thanks to you, I'm still here and I'm going to be fine."
Wesley felt their connection like a fine shimmering thread stretched between them, rippling with the emotions they were both experiencing.
"If you get some decent rest and warm up. But what if… I don't know, I'm just…uneasy."
"Listen, I'm not the only one who was affected by what happened," Wen said. "Fear is a powerful thing. It causes our physical bodies, our minds, our emotions to work overtime. It makes us hyper aware, forces our protective instincts to take over, which is all good when facing a threat. But it doesn't just disappear instantly when the threat is resolved. It takes time to recover from it. So, it's no wonder you're anxious, Wes. It was a traumatic night for you, almost more than it was for me because I was unconscious for most of it, while you never let down your guard. You're exhausted, whether you want to believe it or not."
"I don't feel exhausted."
"Neither do I, but as someone keeps trying to tell me, apparently I need some 'real' sleep." He said it with a smile that caused a new tug of emotion in Wesley's heart. "So what I'm saying is, once you get some rest, too, and give those fierce protective instincts of yours a chance to recover, your anxiety might improve."
"Fierce protective instincts?" Wesley said, feeling heat creep up his cheeks. He shook his head. "That's you, not me."
"Says the man who saved my life last night. Who got me up that steep ridge and through the barrier to the hot springs by sheer dint of will. Who cut himself open without a thought, to share his blood and magick with me. Who held me up in the water all night." Wen's eyes had grown damp with emotion as he spoke. "You refused to let me die, m'caire. You believed even when I had already given up hope. So, yes, fiercely protective is exactly how I would describe you."
A hot lump suddenly clogged the back of Wesley's throat. "I couldn't bear to lose you. I don't want to be in a world that you're not part of…because you are my world now." The admission sounded weak and pathetically mushy to Wesley, but it was the truth and even if he didn't say it, he figured Wen would sense it anyway.
"The feeling's mutual," Wen said softly. His hand slid up into Wesley's hair to cup the back of his head, and then he pulled Wesley down into a kiss that was both tender and achingly alive with banked desire. Desire they both knew couldn't be consummated right now, and that was okay. It was enough to know it was there, would always be there between them.
When they parted, Wen sighed and surprised Wesley by saying, without further argument, "Promise you'll come back here after you're done reporting in?"
"Of course I will."
Wen nodded and reluctantly released him.
"I'm going to get a fire started before I leave, though," Wesley said. It was far too cold in the tent…even he had begun to shiver now. He rose and went to arrange wood in the stone-lined pit.
Another wave of nausea hit him as he knelt, but he didn't want Wen to know—didn't want to give him another reason to worry—so he kept his back to him and tried to hide it by working on the fire and dragging in slow, controlled breaths.
As the ill sensation passed, he wondered what was causing it, but quickly answered his own question. Wen was right. He was tired. Actually, when he allowed himself to let down his guard, he realized he was beyond tired. He was physically and emotionally gutted from last night. But he didn't have time to sleep just yet.
One more job to do, and then you can.
When he had a good-sized blaze going, he doubled up one of Wen's shirts he found draped over a wooden trunk, then used it to pick up and wrap around a fire-heated stone. He took it to the bed and tucked it in under the covers near Wen's feet. "This will help warm you faster."
"Thank you. It feels ridiculously decadent to have you tucking me in like this."
Wesley smiled. "I kind of like tucking you in."
"I'd like it even better if you were tucking yourself in with me."
"I will soon. I promise."
Wen held out his hand and Wesley took it, and for a moment they simply savored the closeness.
"Try to talk to Iann first, if you can find him," Wen said.
"What are you going to tell him?"
"The truth," Wesley said. "As much of it as possible. Certainly about the fight last night and Byram's soldiers."
"And how are you going to explain why I'm not there with you? Iann will think it's odd that I'm not making the report."
"I'll tell him the truth about that, too. That you were injured."
Wen winced. "I don't know if that's a good idea. It'll just make Iann or my mum or even Lord Rizik, if he's around, ask questions. They'll send Lilia to see me, and she's going to take one look and know I was healed with magick. And that will bring up even more questions neither of us wants to answer right now."
Stricken, Wesley sank to his knees beside the bed again. "That's why you were so insistent about wanting to go with me to report, isn't it? So you could protect me and no one would have to find out what I can do…what I am."
Gods, it was starting already, with Wen now part of his secret and having to lie and cover up because of it.
"Stop feeling guilty. You're not ready for everyone to know about you, and, honestly, I'm not ready for anyone to know what happened last night either. What you did for me, it was private, Wes. Intimate. It's something that I don't want to share with anyone else. At least not right now." His forehead creased.
Just as Wen could feel Wesley's guilt, Wesley felt Wen's tangle of emotions and somehow understood them perfectly. What had happened had been intimate, drawing them even closer together in a way he wasn't sure others could possibly understand. Except maybe the draegan lords themselves, with their own very private and intimate bond.
He and Wen stared at each other for a moment and a wealth of meaning passed between them without having to say a word. Their emotional connection was like having direct access to Wen's heart, if not his thoughts. According to Wen, because Wesley was an empath, when his magick and Wen's draegan magick merged, it gave them an emotional link unlike anything Wesley had ever experienced before.
"I'll think of something to tell Iann that won't lead to too many questions," he said. "It'll be fine." He leaned closer and pressed a lingering kiss to Wen's temple. "While I'm gone, promise me you'll get some sleep."
"Is that the best kiss I get?" He gave Wesley a tired but seductive grin.
"Seriously? After all you've been through, you're giving me that 'I want to fuck you' look now?"
"I'll always give you that look because I always feel that way." He reached for Wes.
"Oh no." Wesley rose to his feet, but then couldn't resist smiling and leaning down for a quick, chaste kiss before Wen could grab hold of him and not let go. "Rest first. Then we'll see about the other."
"Fine, leave me here unfulfilled." Wen's eyelids were drooping. In spite of his attempts to pretend otherwise, exhaustion had caught up to him.
"When you wake up, I'll be here, and I promise, you can do anything you'd like with me then."
Damn him…all sleepy and rumpled and looking far too sexy for a man who'd been through hel last night. Wesley leaned down and kissed him properly this time.
"That's better," Wen sighed, when they finally parted. "Hurry back."
"I will," Wesley promised.
"And, bloody hel, don't put your wet cloak back on," Wen said, as Wesley reached for it. "Take my spare. It's dry at least, and then get back here fast so you can take off the rest of your wet clothes."
Wesley shot him a look and found another sleepy smile curving his lover's lips.
"You don't stop, do you?" he asked with a shake of his head as he grabbed Wen's spare green cloak off a peg driven into one of the wooden tent supports. He wrapped the heavy wool around his shoulders and fastened the clasp. The cloak smelled like Wen, which sent a warm pulse of desire, but also of comfort, through him.
"Never. Not where you're concerned."
"Yeah, well hold that thought until later and we'll see if you have as much stamina as you claim."
"Count on it. I'll have you begging me…"
"Cocky ass. It's a good thing I love you."
"Yeah," Wen said softly, his green eyes sparkling. "It is."
Wesley ducked out of the tent, smiling.
But as he set off through the woods, down deep within his gut, no matter how he tried to ignore it, the dark foreboding continued to claw.

The Boxtrolls Exclusive: Inside the LAIKA Stop Motion Magicby Joel D Amos at . Updated at . Comments
Judging by that jaw-dropping The Boxtrolls trailer, the stop motion animation magicians at LAIKA have done it again. The team who gave us Coraline and ParaNorman are back in the animated story that brings Alan Snow's book Here Be Monsters to life.
At Comic-Con we caught up with The Boxtrolls directors, Anthony Stacchi and Graham Annable, for an exclusive interview where the duo dishes the behind the scenes artistic mentality of the LAIKA animation studio in Portland that produces such stunning work.
They also explore what it was about the immense and super human challenge of bringing Here Be Monsters to the big screen that actually appealed to them and their ever growing desire to push the envelope. Audiences will be in for a treat when The Boxtrolls lands September 26.
Movie Fanatic: I was always curious with stop motion animation, is having extreme patience an important virtue to do what you two do?
Anthony Stacchi: It's not patience as much as it is the ability to focus. There can be a lot of distractions on a stop motion set, it's like a live action set. A lot of stop motion animators get in the zone when they're animating and that gives you the best performance. The key is to stay in that zone. There's also an old saying that any life that animators give to puppets, they suck out of the animators.
They both laugh.
Movie Fanatic: What was it about this world of The Boxtrolls that you all wanted to make it your next project after Coraline and ParaNorman?
Graham Annable: It all started with Alan Snow's book, Here Be Monsters. It was a huge book at over 500 pages that created such an incredible and fantastical world that seemed to be suited to a stop motion animation setting, this Victorian, steam punk turn-of-the-century place, it seemed like a perfect fit for what stop motion is so good at, which is playing up textures.
Anthony Stacchi: It was serendipity. The scope of the book would be a challenge under any circumstances. But at the studio and the technological advances in the creation of the faces has reached the point where the subtlety in the faces would match the performance you would need. The VFX department at the company got sophisticated enough so that we could make a film of this scope. There's probably not a single shot in the movie that doesn't have some sort of CG enhancement, whether it's atmospheric or there's this chase across the rooftops down this incredible cityscape. Everything they touch is something that we had to have built and the puppets are stop motion. But, if you see off into the distance, the moon is lit up with fog and clouds -- that was added in. It was the perfect meeting of the right story with the right studio…
Graham Annable: …at the right time. We learned so much as a studio working on Coraline and ParaNorman. We're so lucky to keep this great group of artists together for such a long time, which doesn't happen in stop motion. It's usually a one movie and people move on situation. We've been able to maintain the same amazing crew at its core throughout.
Movie Fanatic: Having that same group of people you've worked with since the beginning, which is rare, does that make the process easier? Or is it still really just as painstaking, you're just doing it with people whose artistry you know?
Graham Annable: People always ask us, "Are you getting faster?" [Laughs] And the answer is kind of not because the more refinements that show up, the more we fill that space creatively. I mean, The Boxtrolls looks like nothing we've ever done before and we couldn't have made that movie even a couple of years ago. It's because of all we've learned and refined, it's just not going any faster. We're just putting more into it. The images in this film are packed to the hilt.
Anthony Stacchi: Sometimes though when issues come up, it's nice to know that the people around you are the same people you've worked with for a long time and you can trust that they'll get it done. That's where it's the biggest asset. We know that the culture at LAIKA will take care of it. It's an idiosyncratic place where you can just plug people in and greatness can happen.
Movie Fanatic: It's also serendipitous that you all came together in Portland even…
Anthony Stacchi: Yeah, there's something in the water in Portland that gives us great stop motion animation artists.
Graham Annable: But, also, I think we reflect the culture of Portland too. Our films are the way they are not by mistake. A lot of Portland seeps into these movies.
Movie Fanatic: Do you think there is a line that connects Coraline, ParaNorman and The Boxtrolls? Or do you see them as totally separate entities?
Anthony Stacchi: There's a philosophy of the types of stories we want to tell -- never the same style and never the same story. I think there's a willingness to go to places where there's a real dynamic between the light and the dark. We talk about it as the films that we loved as kids that we retained a love of as adults. And those are the early Walt Disney movies like Dumbo and Pinocchio, those films that had darkness and scary parts to them – you never ever forgot those films. In the end, we make movies that we want to see and we make movies that we want our kids to see.

Google has clearly understood the significance of title tags, Meta descriptions, domain ages, backlinks and keywords to sort as well as rank websites. Trying to recognize such patterns does require collecting data to learn, something that humans are not capable of, like that of machines, which can even figure out the meaning. Hence, it becomes essential for both people and computers to work together for performing complicate procedure of gathering information and to analyse what lies beneath the search engine results. Fusing the two is sure to provide great results.
This is where RankBrain, the artificial intelligence, machine learning of Google comes into play. It is capable to process huge fraction every day of search results. Besides gathering data, it also views the patterns present.
What is the RankBrain all about?
Even with the introduction of RankBrain, the importance of PageRank still exists. It is rather considered to be a bigger part of algorithm to conduct search queries, to interpret what is being searched by the users and figure out the different ways to submit the request. For example, even couple of years ago, Google along with other search engines had tough time to locate pages to match the exact pattern. But now, Google's algorithm is able to understand the pattern much better, thus enabling it to do better job to recognize the relationship existing between words, its meaning, the concepts referred to and why they are strung together for making that search term. This understanding is only deepened by RankBrain.
Artificial intelligence is used for embedding written language in huge amounts into mathematical entities known as vectors, to be better understood by the computer. If an unfamiliar phrase or word is noticed by RankBrain, then guesses can be made by the machine. It can find similar meaning of the phrases and words and filter accordingly the results, thereby making it much more effective to handle those never before searched queries.
Is it reliable or another dangerous element to be avoided by SEO professionals?
RankBrain is not to be considered as sentient. It is fed with historical searches along with their searches in volumes and this information is extrapolated for making future search predictions. It can be compared to a student practicing SAT for scoring well in the real exam. RankBrain has indeed proven its scoring capability. According to Google's search engineers, RankBrain had 80% accuracy to guess which sites ranked at the top.
Google found out turning off RankBrain can be damaging to users like that of missing out on serving on Wikipedia, half the pages.
What does it do to SEO?
RankBrain is considered to be among the 3rd most signal contributing towards search query result and hence, it does affect SEO. Rather, SEO has been by pulling in relevant search factors. Previously, any local grocery store might not have got that ranking in local results pages. But now, there are chances of earning the top slot, due to the intuition of RankBrain.
The reputed seo services in London do have knowledge of the latest introductions being made in this field and do make good use of it to help their clients to get better ranking of their sites.

- formed wholly or mainly by a row of two or more trees and shrubs;
- rises to a height of more than 2 metres above ground level; and
- forms a barrier to light (unless gaps significantly mitigate its overall effect as a barrier at heights of more than 2 metres above ground level).
High hedges
The High Hedges (Scotland) Act 2013 aims to provide a solution to the problem of high hedges where neighbours have not been able to resolve the issue amicably. The Act provides a means of resolving disputes over the effects of high hedges which interfere with the reasonable enjoyment of domestic property.
Where an owner or occupier can demonstrate that the hedge in question is a high hedge and that the hedge adversely affects the occupant's enjoyment of a domestic property they can apply to the council for a High Hedge Notice to be served on the owner of the hedge.
The High Hedges (Scotland) Act 2013 requires potential applicants to take all reasonable steps to resolve the issue before a formal application is made. You must submit evidence of the steps you have taken with the application. Steps taken should include:
- A recent attempt to discuss the issue with the hedge owner.
- A letter sent via recorded delivery to the hedge owner highlighting your concerns. The letter must request the hedge owner to make contact with you to discuss the issue and it must inform the hedge owner of the High Hedges Act.
- Seek the assistance of a mediation service. Access to mediation services in Aberdeen City is free. Sacro offer a Community Mediation Service; further details on the services Sacro offer can be found in the related links section below.
You can download and complete the form below to apply for a high hedge notice. The application fee for a high hedge notice is £395. You can pay your application fee using our payment portal or by cheque. Cheques should be made payable to 'Aberdeen City Council'.
An application for a high hedge notice should be considered a last resort and only used when all other attempts to resolve the issue have failed.
The Council's role is not to mediate between the parties but to act as an impartial decision maker. Submitting an application for a high hedge notice does not guarantee that a notice will be served.
Before applying please make sure:
- The trees and shrubs form what is commonly recognised as a hedge.
- The hedge in question meets the definition of a high hedge.
- The height of the high hedge adversely affects the enjoyment of a domestic property.
- You can demonstrate that you have tried to resolve the issue.

Not sure this quite constitutes a recipe, but it is what is happening around here at the moment. A few days ago we dug up a bushel of parsnips to make way for peas.
Parsnips are available all winter for purchase and well into the spring, but it turns out that now we are growing them we mostly eat them in the spring. It is very nice to be able to go out and dig something new to eat as soon as the ground is sufficiently thawed.
I was hoping these would form into nice little patties like proper potato hash browns and it isn't impossible, but they aren't really into it and so I just left them in a loose pile. Just as good!
I served these with eggs, and that was okay, but eggs are a little delicate in flavour next to the parsnips. I have to admit that what I really see these going with is pork; bacon, peameal, sausage, chops; whatever. Maybe next time. There is still three-quarters of a bushel to go.
2 servings
30 minutes prep time
500 grams (1 pound) parsnips
2 tablespoons bacon fat OR vegetable oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
Peel and grate the parsnips coarsely.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat until melted and sizzling in a medium-sized skillet. Add the grated parsnips, stir well to toss the parsnips in the fat, and reduce the heat at once to medium-low. Dot the remaining bacon fat over the parsnips, and mix in. Season with the salt and pepper. Do be mindful of how salty your bacon fat may be.
Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The parsnips should brown fairly evenly, and not too quickly. If they are browning too quickly, reduce the heat. If they are scorching, you may need to add a little more bacon fat.
When the parsnips are done to your liking, serve them up. Don't be dismayed by what a big pile of parsnips first go into the pan – they reduce considerably in cooking.

The kitchen is the busiest area in the home and it serves more than just a cooking station. Families often gather here to eat, study, socialize and more. This means the kitchen should be well-designed to be functional and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. Modular homes can be created with gorgeous interior features that include modern kitchen designs to meet all of your families needs.
Modular kitchens offer high quality cabinets and countertops. In fact, the entire kitchen is manufactured in a controlled environment where rigid quality inspections are strictly implemented. For this reason, the entire home, including the state-of-the-art kitchen can be built without weather, labor or materials delays. At the time of assembly, each module is transported to the permanent site where they are clued screwed and finish work is done. This means your new home and your new kitchen can be utilized in no time.
In addition, customization is easy with modular construction. Homeowners can decide where they want the pantry, sink, cooking station and other appliances. Any other customization is welcome since the technology applied by modular construction makes it possible to bring unique layouts into existence.
