Lahiri, Jhumpa. INTERPRETER OF MALADIES: THE FIRST "PULITZER PRIZE" HARDCOVER EDITION. New York City, NY: Houghton And Mifflin, 1999. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 197 pages. Fine/Fine. Signed.
The author's breakthrough debut book. One of the greatest American short story collections of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the 2006 Easton Press Edition, published seven years later. Published in a very small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only to commemorate the book's well-deserved win. This is one of very few times in modern American literary history that a Pulitzer Prize Winner (indicated with a metallic-silver gilt stamp in front) was recognized and celebrated as such. This happened because the publisher, which largely ignored the book at first, was shamed into putting out a decent Hardcover Edition after telling the then-completely-unknown author that they were taking a huge gamble by publishing her work as it is. The book remains available in innumerable subsequent printings as a regular trade softcover edition. The First Hardcover Edition, which also went into several subsequent printings, is now rare. Presents Jhumpa Lahiri's "Interpreter of Maladies". Nine brilliant and moving stories that catapulted the beautiful young writer to unprecedented national and international renown. "Lahiri writes with a deft cultural insight reminiscent of Anita Desai and a nuanced depth that recalls Mavis Gallant. An important and powerful new voice" (The New York Times). "There are times I am bewildered by each mile I have traveled, each meal I have eaten, each person I have known, each room in which I have slept. As ordinary as it all appears, there are times when it is beyond my imagination" (Jhumpa Lahiri). A luminous masterpiece. An absolute "must-have" title for Jhumpa Lahiri collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Jhumpa Lahiri. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page or bookplate. This title is a great book. This is one of very few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Many copies available online are subsequent printings or have serious flaws yet command as much as $475. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 2000 for "Interpreter of Maladies". One of the greatest living writers. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JHUMPA LAHIRI TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0618101365. $250.00

Music Therapy
Music is enjoyed by children of all ages. For the children at St. Mary's music plays an even bigger role – it helps them to recover and improves their quality of life.
Music therapy harnesses the power of music and integrates it into the treatment goals of therapy to improve outcomes. Research has shown that music therapy can help improve a patient's quality of life and promote physical and emotional wellness by:
- reducing stress
- alleviating pain
- stimulating personal and collective expression and communication
- promoting physical rehabilitation and learning through music
For a child with disabilities, so much is out of his or her control. Music therapy helps patients to see themselves as capable and important participants in their recovery. Music helps children heal, while empowering them physically, spiritually, and emotionally. A child who participates in a music therapy program can often express feelings through music that – because of physical, cognitive, developmental, or emotional impediments – can't be expressed in words. It brings joy, strength, and confidence to young patients coping with serious and/or life-threatening medical conditions.

How to Keep Your Smile Pretty and Healthy

Gorgeous grin
These days, it seems like everyone's obsessed with getting a blindingly white grill. But there's more to taking good care of your mouth than having a soap-star smile.
The condition of your teeth and gums is associated with a host of other health issues that involve your hormones and your heart, and your dental needs can change from decade to decade. Here's how to keep smiling strong at any age.

Your 30s: Heed your hormones
If you're pregnant, you might not feel like dragging yourself to the dentist, but you should do it. Higher levels of estrogen and particularly progesterone can result in puffy, tender gums that are vulnerable to minor infection.
Flossing is especially important, experts say, because it helps cut the risk of periodontitis, a more serious gum infection that can endanger more than your teeth: some studies have linked untreated periodontal disease to preterm and low-birth-weight babies.

Perfect your stroke
Many adults never learned how to brush and floss properly, says Irwin Smigel, DDS, president of the American Society for Dental Aesthetics. Use a soft brush that has rounded nylon bristles and make gentle circular motions at a 45-degree angle to your gum line.
If flossing hurts or makes your gums bleed, keep working at it. "The more you floss, the tougher your gums become," explains Paula Jones, DDS, immediate past president of the Academy of General Dentistry.

Kick those butts
"Smokers get periodontal disease at two to three times the rate of nonsmokers," says Sally Cram, DDS, a periodontist in Washington, D.C., and a consumer advisor for the American Dental Association.
Smokers also don't heal as well after getting treatment for these gum infections. Need help quitting? Go to
for tips and motivation.

Ditch the diet cola
Even sugar-free soda can destroy your pearly whites, thanks to the high acid content of most carbonated beverages. "Acid weakens enamel and makes it softer," Dr. Jones says. A fluoride rinse can help strengthen it.
6 of 12

Your 40s: Book your appointment
No matter how busy you are, make time for the dentist because he can spot signs of serious illness that shouldn't be ignored. For example, gum disease can be a sign of uncontrolled diabetes.
Plus, oral cancer is more common after 40; your dentist will look for symptoms, such as unusual swelling or sores, as well as painless lesions.

Get off the daily grind
Grinding or clenching your teeth (which can intensify if you're stressed) can cause excessive wear and even cracking and chipping. "A lot of tooth wear starts to show up in the late 30s and 40s," Dr. Jones says. "Your dentist can see if you're grinding, because areas of the tooth enamel will be worn smooth."
If your teeth show these signs, your dentist can give you a mouth guard.
Stress-management techniques
can also help you keep from clenching.
8 of 12

Consider a renovation
Dental work you had done in your teens may need to be replaced. "If you've had lots of fillings or crowns, get them checked, because they do wear out," Dr. Cram says. A cracked or chipped filling can create a space for bacteria to collect, causing decay.
9 of 12
Getty Images
Beware of overbleaching
"Once you achieve the shade you want, you can touch up once or twice a year," Dr. Jones says. "Any more than that can be damaging." While evidence that bleaching erodes enamel is inconclusive, it may increase sensitivity. And, the truth is, there's a limit to how much whitening you can achieve as you get older.
10 of 12
Getty Images
Your 50s+: Bone up
Bone loss is one of the main reasons people lose teeth, Dr. Smigel says. A healthy diet with enough calcium and vitamin D can help you maintain strong bones. And if you have a family history of osteoporosis or periodontal disease, dental checkups are a must.
"Dental X-rays can show the progression of osteoporosis," Dr. Jones says. If you do lose a tooth, try to get an implant, Dr. Smigel advises. "It stabilizes the jaw so the bone doesn't shrink and make your face look older."
11 of 12
Getty Images
Wet your whistle
Many medications (including antidepressants and heart or pain meds) can dry out your mouth, which ups the risk of tooth decay. If you have dry mouth, Dr. Jones recommends using a fluoride rinse at night, which can help protect the enamel. Drinking lots of water or chewing sugarless gum can also help.
12 of 12
Getty Images
Take heart
Studies show that people with periodontal disease may have higher risks of heart attack and stroke, possibly because the infection increases inflammation throughout the body.
"I can't say that you're going to have a heart attack if you don't take care of your teeth," Dr. Cram says. "But if you have a family history of heart disease or other heart disease risk factors, it's a good idea to pay extra attention to your oral health."

In a fresh batch of cases from the reporting committee, two of those cases address the question of how grounds should be drafted, what constitutes an error of law and when permission should be granted. One of the cases concerns an appeal by a claimant and the other an appeal by the Home Office.
There is an interesting difference between the cases. In the first, VHR (unmeritorious grounds) Jamaica [2014] UKUT 367 (IAC), the judge admonishes the lawyers for mounting challenges. In the other, Nixon (permission to appeal: grounds) [2014] UKUT 368 (IAC) the judge states that the tribunal will deal robustly with deficient grounds. The first is akin to a drive by shooting by a visiting heavy, untroubled by the difficult tension between a lawyer's obligations to the court and the client, as well as being plain rude and, in the context of appalling cookie cutter grounds cut and pasted by Home Office civil servants, astonishingly blinkered to Home Office abuse of the appeal process. It also rather overlooks the fact that permission was granted on the grounds in question. The second is a more thoughtful response to the issue of pursuit of appeals by desperate people. Migrants are desperate to avoid removal. Civil servants are desperate to avoid Daily Mail headlines.
I for one grow tired of these migratory judges, coming into our jurisdiction and taking away judicial postings from home grown immigration judges…
Contrast the two headnotes, the first for VHR:
Appeals should not be mounted on the basis of a litany of forensic criticisms of particular findings of the First Tier Tribunal, whilst ignoring the basic legal test which the appellant has to meet.
The second is for Nixon:
Whilst making due allowance where an applicant for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal is unrepresented and in respect of the requirement to consider obvious points arising under the Refugee Convention or ECHR (R v Secretary of State for the Home Department ex parte Robinson [1997] 3 WLR 1162), the First-tier Tribunal and the Upper Tribunal can be expected to deal brusquely and robustly with any application for permission that does not specify clearly and coherently, with appropriate particulars, the error(s) of law said to contaminate the decision under challenge. Besides placing unnecessary demands upon the judiciary, poorly compiled applications risk undermining the important value of legal certainty and causing unfairness to the other party.
Nixon is a helpful case that offers genuine guidance. It also addresses the Ferrer issue (previous blog post here) of whether permission need be explicitly granted on every ground:
FtT Judges, representatives and parties are also reminded of the decision of UTIAC in Ferrer (Limited Appeal Grounds; Alvi) [2012] UKUT 304 (IAC), [22]-[32] especially, which contains some important pronouncements and guidance on the grant of permission to appeal to UTIAC on limited grounds only. It also draws attention to the importance of two procedural notices: IA68 (FtT) and Form UT1 (UTIAC). It may be worth emphasising that, irrespective of whether permission to appeal is granted on all of the grounds advanced or some thereof only, a reasoned decision is always required in respect of each and every ground, which reinforces the necessity of considering all grounds with scrupulous care.
I read this final warning to representatives as primarily addressed to the Home Office and the standardised 'Gulshan grounds', but I am aware that I do not generally read the grounds of other claimant lawyers:
Finally, representatives should be aware that grounds of appeal presented in formulaic terms, particularly when they reappear with frequency in a multiplicity of cases over time, are likely to be received with circumspection. There can be no substitute for properly tailored and carefully crafted grounds of appeal which clearly reflect the unique facts, features and issues pertaining to the individual case. "Boilerplating" will be quickly recognised by permission Judges. Ditto makeweights and embellishments.
With the new human rights considerations having come into effect, there is a clear danger of further boilerplated Home Office grounds where a First-tier judge makes insufficient reference to those considerations. This is perhaps a stronger error of law point for the Home Office than Gulshan, which was always an obviously flawed decision anyway. It is hoped that judges deciding permission applications can scratch beneath the surface and look to the substance of any such decisions.

Sudan frees pastor from prison, but another Christian minister still faces possible death row
Sudan has freed Pastor Kuwa Shamal from prison, but another Christian pastor who was arrested and tried alongside him is still facing the possibility of death row over false espionage charges.
Pastor Shamal was released from jail last Monday, but companion Rev. Hassan Abduraheem's case will still continue. The two pastors have stood trial with two other men over charges of espionage and agitating hatred between classes, charges that the American Center for Law and Justice asserts are false.
According to the trial judge, there is no solid evidence against Shamal in the espionage case. However, the same judge said Abduraheem and his other companions - Petr Jasek and Adbulmonem Abdumawla - will continue facing trial, Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) reports.
Abduraheem has been detained for more than a year for helping a young boy with his medical needs. Jasek went to Khartoum in December to meet Ali Omer, who was injured in a 2013 protest, to donate $5000 for the needed medical treatment.
Abduraheem facilitated their meeting, while Abdumawla was collecting funds for his friend Omer. When Jasek was leaving Khartoum, Sudan's National Intelligence and Security Service seized his belongings at the airport and accused him of donating $5,000 to support rebel movements.
"In reality, none of them have committed the serious crimes with which they have been charged,"said CSW chief executive Mervyn Thomas in a statement. "We urge the Sudanese government to ensure the immediate and unconditional release of these men, who have been detained since December 2015, simply for an act of kindness."
In light of the situation, ACLJ has launched a petition demanding the release of Pastor Abduraheem, which has since garnered more than 113,000 signatures. The organization also sent a letter to Dr. Awad Al-Hassan Al-Noor, Sudan's Minister of Justice, to outline the legal reasons why the Christian pastor must be released from prison.
Pastor Abduraheem's attorneys have already finished laying out his defense and will submit their final arguments for the case next Monday. The judge is reportedly expected to make a decision by Jan. 23.

Nearly four months have passed since England's players trudged despondently off the field in Auckland after their insipid World Cup quarter-final exit at the hands of France.
In that time players and coaches have come and gone and the Rugby Football Union's dirty linen has been aired in public.
England were in need of an image overhaul and the renovator has been Stuart Lancaster.
The former Leeds player and coach, and Wakefield schoolteacher, has led from the front since taking office as interim head coach in December.
England are likeable again. There is fresh optimism in the air.
A successful week-long training camp in Yorkshire – when they reconnected with the public and sat through enlightening talks from their sporting peers – further healed the wounds left from that damaging World Cup campaign.
The recent indiscretions of Danny Care and Delon Armitage suggest old habits die hard for some.
But in banishing those players instantly, Lancaster left the team and the public under no illusions that such negative headlines will not be tolerated.
It is a case of so far, so good in the resurrection of England's rugby team.
The final proof, as the saying goes, will be in the pudding. Or for Lancaster and his team, in the performance, starting on Saturday at Murrayfield against England's oldest and fiercest rivals, Scotland.
If England are to be successful, each and every one of Lancaster's players needs to have bought into his culture and his game plan.
There can be no baggage from New Zealand.
And encouragingly for England fans, one of the few shining lights of the World Cup campaign – Tom Palmer – believes there should be no fears that those clouds of controversy will return to engulf them during the Six Nations.
"That's all been put behind us now," insisted the former Leeds player who is a strong candidate to start in the second row at Murrayfield.
"It's something that happened and about half of this new group weren't even involved in that.
"And for the guys that were involved they've certainly put it behind them. I know I have.
"That's the good thing about rugby, you separate international from club rugby. When you're at your club you concentrate solely on that. It's the same here; once you leave your club you concentrate solely on international matters and you're back in England mode.
"The World Cup seems a lifetime away."
Even though England failed at the World Cup – struggling to four pool wins before their last-eight exit – they are still defending champions in this year's Six Nations. They were one good performance away from a grand slam last year, something Palmer feels has been forgotten in all the negative headlines.
He said: "Okay, we didn't play too well in New Zealand, but if you look back over the last 12-18 months as a whole we've played some pretty good stuff.
"We'd probably begun to tail off – our best form was this time last year, the first two or three matches of the Six Nations – so we didn't get our timing right for the World Cup.
"But there are a lot of new players in the side, a new coaching system in place, so we are starting a little bit from scratch with new ideas we are working towards.
"There are also a lot of experienced guys in the side so it's not like it's a team of kids coming in.
"I think we'll do pretty well."
England's week in Leeds was about rebuidling a culture, with training sessions held in front of Yorkshire schoolchildren and the likes of rugby league stars Jamie Peacock and Kevin Sinfield imparting their thoughts on the duty of care of an England representative.
Armitage's expulsion aside, they are lessons that are being heeded.
Palmer said: "It was good to get a perspective from other people at the heart of success. It's good to get that insight, how they formed their successful teams, how they got their cultural change. Particularly Leeds Rhinos who went from underachieving to being the dominant side in Super League. And the England cricket team that climbed from fifth to first.
"We've had meetings, discussions about what we want to do, what we want to be known as and how the culture should be.
"There'll be a change of culture naturally, purely because of the amount of changes there's been to the group.
"The culture you have depends so much on the characters you have in the group, and the personalities.
"When new players come in a new culture will naturally evolve and we just have to make sure that what evolves enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and we can all be on our best behaviour and take that forward."
Palmer was at Leeds at the same time as Lancaster, though their paths rarely crossed.
The University of Leeds graduate was a first-team stalwart during Lancaster's spell with the club's academy.
But this is the first time he has worked properly under England's interim head coach.
Palmer, who made 188 appearances for Leeds, said: "I've been hugely impressed by him. He seems like he's been doing the job a long time. Even though this is his first international job it seems like he's a hugely experienced international coach.
"His presentation skills are fantastic, he keeps things simple, short and sharp, he's got very good empathy with the players.
"I think he's a very good coach and we'll see how good he is now he's been given this opportunity.
"The players have responded to what he's been saying and asking us to do and hopefully that will lead to success for the side and rewards for Stuart.
"The players have been really positive with everything he's brought to them so far."
The small matter of translating those lessons onto the pitch is next on the agenda.
Scotland and Italy may be the weakest teams on paper, but successive weekends in Edinburgh and Rome will not be for the faint-hearted and will determine what path England go down.
"It's always harder playing away from home but is something we should handle," said Palmer.
"All international matches offer different challenges. Murrayfield is hostile, but it's the same as playing in Cardiff or Dublin; there are no easy places to go."
O'Driscoll injury gives Earls his chance to shine
Keith Earls has been chosen to replace Brian O'Driscoll when Ireland meet Wales in their RBS Six Nations opener at Aviva Stadium on Sunday.
O'Driscoll has been ruled out of the entire championship after undergoing shoulder surgery, leaving a void in the position he has filled with such distinction since 1999.
The task of filling some of the biggest boots in world rugby has fallen to Earls, the Munster and Lions back who has scored 11 tries in 26 Test appearances.
Earls has played at outside centre for his province in recent weeks and head coach Declan Kidney felt he was the leading candidate to replace O'Driscoll.
"Keith trained really well last week and it was on that basis that we made the decision," said Kidney.
"He's looking forward to it and obviously has played very well there for Munster."
Andrew Trimble of Ulster has been selected on the left wing with Jonathan Sexton and Conor Murray the preferred half-backs.
Sexton has edged out the more experienced Ronan O'Gara, who must settle for a spot among the replacements.
In total there are only three changes, one positional, to the side defeated 22-10 by Wales in last autumn's World Cup quarter-final.
The pack is identical to the eight that suffered heartache in Wellington with Donncha O'Callaghan holding off the challenge of Donnacha Ryan in the second row.
The only Test debutant in the 22 is Munster back row Peter O'Mahony, who features on the bench.
Wales are continuing to play a waiting game with their injured players.
But another name has been added to the confirmed list of absentees after hooker and former Wales captain Matthew Rees suffered a calf strain during training.
Rees is set to be sidelined for two weeks, which would also mean him missing the Millennium Stadium appointment with Scotland on Sunday week. Rees, 31, had been in a battle for the No 2 shirt with Huw Bennett, although Bennett was already expected to start in Dublin and win his 50th cap.

June 2016 Edition
In her article entitled "The Triumph of Email," Adrienne LaFrance remarked, "for millions of people, the experience of going online, from the very beginning, was fundamentally about checking your email" i. While the Internet has dramatically matured, email continues to play a significant role in our online lives. According to a recent study, 72% of consumers prefer email as their primary communication vehicle with companies ii. Another survey revealed that consumers feel email is more likely to be around in 10 years than Facebook, cable TV, Twitter, and other channels iii.
From transactional to promotional content, and everything in between, email relies on permission and trust to deliver content with intimacy, exclusivity, and convenience across more devices than any other communication channel. Moreover, it continues to evolve alongside innovations to other technologies and the lifestyle changes they beget. Just last year, the email industry experienced several notable developments.
To begin, shifts occurred within the email client market share. Between January and November of 2015, Litmus reported that the market share of mobile email increased by 15 percentage points, to a total of 54% iv. Meanwhile, the market share of webmail and desktop each declined by 13 percentage points. In terms of specific clients, Apple iPhone maintained the number one position, climbing to almost a third of the market share by November. Google Android also experienced a slight uptick. Meanwhile, Gmail, iPad, Outlook, Yahoo, Windows Live Mail, and AOL Mail all experienced reductions.
Last year also welcomed a bevy of new email platforms and clients, including Apple Watch, AOL Alto Mail, Outlook 2016, the Outlook app for iOS and Android, and the universal Outlook Mail app for Windows 10 v. In addition, Apple released iOS 9, which updated the native email client on iPhone and iPad. With each new email environment, marketers have to consider its unique HTML and CSS support. This translates to additional preparation and testing.
Given the surge in mobile email, it's no surprise that email marketers continued to explore mobile-friendly email approaches during 2015. As of January 2016, 17% of marketers reported using responsive email design or device detection coding vi. While mostly successful, responsive design falls short for email clients that do not support media queries. Fortunately, Yahoo! added support for media queries during 2015 v. However, Gmail still lacks support — a noteworthy exception since it's the second most popular email client.
At Litmus's 2015 Email Design Conference, Fabio Carneiro announced the fluid hybrid or "spongy" approach. This technique, which garnered lots of attention, creates mobile-friendly emails for any device without the use of media queries. Fluid hybrid uses a combination of width and max-width properties, as well as special "ghost tables" for Outlook, to force a centered design on desktop, while filling the screen on tablets and phones vii. However, there are a few drawbacks that make spongy templates unviable in certain situations viii.
Generally speaking, experimental email design greatly accelerated within 2015. Designers began pushing the boundaries and using progressive enhancement to deliver sophisticated email experiences such as dynamic menus, sliders, carousels, microsites, shopping carts, infographics, background videos, payment mechanisms, and more ix, x. Many of these techniques rely on CSS3 properties such as animations, transitions, z-index, and overflow — not to mention numerous hacks. Despite only limited email client support, these experiments hint at a pivotal new direction for email.
Google made a few significant changes in 2015 that affected email. For starters, they reverted the "grid view" of the Promotions tab within Gmail v. This view, which was introduced in March 2014, displayed each email with its sender name, sender image, subject line, and a large featured image — but no preview text. The retirement of grid view came as a relief to email marketers who otherwise would have had to optimize their emails for this unique inbox layout.
Google also introduced Postmaster Tools last year in an effort to help high-volume senders with deliverability and inbox placement v. On a related note, Gmail gained a "block" option in 2015, which basically enables subscribers to never see email from a given sender again v. While this option obviously affects inbox placement, it does provide a mechanism for subscribers to opt-out without necessarily reporting spam. Unfortunately, subscribers may choose to "block" a sender rather than unsubscribe or adjust their subscription preferences.
In general, concerns with inbox placement and engagement resonated throughout the entire industry last year. Email providers use many factors to determine inbox placement, including how many times a sender is marked as spam or blocked and whether subscribers are engaging with the email. Disengaged subscribers not only hinder inbox placement, but they are also more likely to file spam complaints, which can lead to more serious filtering problems. As a result, many senders, including MailerMailer, attempted to either re-engage or remove these inactive subscribers xi.
With inboxes more crowded than ever, engagement has become increasingly difficult to capture. Marketers have turned to personalization, segmentation, dynamic content, and triggered campaigns to create superior experiences for each subscriber. These contextually aware techniques are often powered by RFM analysis, geolocation, and demographic and psychographic data xii. In addition to boosting engagement with relevancy, email marketers also toyed with the emotional impact of their emails. Some marketers attempted to evoke delight and curiosity in their recipients, while others used techniques such as gamification.
As you can see, 2015 brought numerous changes to email — proof that "the email marketing world is alive and ever-changing" according to Litmus's Lauren Smith xiii. To keep up, email marketers must react, learn, and adapt their methodologies. Only then can they continue to leverage this enduring and lucrative channel.
MailerMailer produces this yearly report to gain insight into the mailing behaviors and performance metrics of our customers. Email marketers can use the findings within this report to understand current benchmark statistics and make better choices with regards to their own email marketing campaigns.
The data in this report was collected from almost 1 billion emails, comprising 49,000 campaigns sent between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015. Click rate metrics omitted emails without links. Also, subject lines with less than four characters were exluded. Additionally, only customers with 25 or more active list members were included, as well as only campaigns to 25 or more active list members.
For the 29 industries, MailerMailer assigned each customer an industry based on the predominant nature of their campaigns. For instance, a customer with campaigns related to a pet grooming salon would be placed in Pet and Animal Services, and a customer with campaigns related to a gym would be tagged as Sports, Fitness, and Recreation. Customers whose campaigns did not meet the criteria for any of the defined industries were classified as Other. As a result, Other represents a mixture of many different industries.

Portable Facial sparayer for sale with Micro-fine Mist Sauna
Facial steaming has been used as an effective measure to treat facial skin for centuries. Earlier, people used vessels filled with hot water to carry out facial steaming. However, today appliances such as facial steamers are specifically manufactured for facial steaming.
Facial steamers are effective devices that help keep the skin glowing and healthy. Oil, dirt and grime tend to clog the pores, resulting in blackheads, breakouts and other facial skin problems. Steam helps open up the pores in the skin, and is a great way to treat acne. Moreover, steam also increases blood circulation in the skin, revives tired skin and removes toxins. Open pores give deep cleansing agents the access to remove sebum and harmful bacteria from the skin. Thus, resulting in healthy and glowing skin. Varieties of facial steamers are available today. Professional multi-function facial steamers (used in spas, retreats and spas) as well as simple home facial steamers are present in the market. Among the various ones available, the portable type is the most convenient and affordable. Besides the portable type, the facial sauna is also an efficient way of rejuvenating the skin. Facial sauna involves the use of an inhaler mask to funnel out the dirt from the facial skin. Electronic aroma and herbal steamers are the upgraded versions of facial steamers. These appliances make use of herbal essences to rejuvenate the skin.
Using a portable Facial sparayer
Facial steaming is a pampering experience, whether it's carried out at a spa or at home. Since visiting a spa every week is not practical, investing in home facial steamers is beneficial and cost-effective. Facial steaming is a simple procedure, yielding good results. The simple steps involved in using one are as follows:
- Before actually using the facial steamer, one must prepare one's face. The face must be cleansed with facial cleansers and must be towel dried. This is because during steaming, the pores in the facial skin will be opened. To avoid clogging of pores, it's best to cleanse the skin prior to steaming.
- Some facial steamers are battery operated, while the others work on electricity. Depending on the requirement, put in the batteries or locate an outlet to plug in the steamer.
- Take approximately one cup clean water and put it into the facial steamer's reservoir. Adding excess water can result in overflowing. So, be careful.
- A separate compartment is also present, wherein one can pour essential oils to achieve a soothing effect. These essential oils not only soothe the skin, but also detoxify the skin and clears it off bacteria.
- Items such as large towel, moisturizer, cotton balls, toner and facial mask are additional things required for the completion of the facial steaming procedure. Make sure the towel is large enough to cover the face and shoulders. All these things should be gathered before the commencement of facial steaming procedure.
- Once all the requirements are seen to, it's time to use the steamer. The steamers have a settings panel, that help control the temperature. Once the steamer has been turned on, it will take one or two minutes to release the steam.
- When steam begins to come out, place your face over the steamer and lock in the steam by using the towel to cover the head. Make sure the face is 8-12 inches away from the steamer. The steamer should only steam the skin and not scald it.
- Allow the skin to receive steam for 5-10 minutes. Within this time, the skin pores will be opened. After this, gently exfoliate the facial skin and rinse off using clean water. Towel dry the face.
- Next, apply a suitable facial mask and allow to dry. Rinse off the dried mask first with warm water and then with cool water. Dry the face with a towel once again.
- With the help of a cotton ball, gently apply toner on to the face. This is to be followed by the application of a suitable moisturizer.
Facial steaming leaves the skin rejuvenated and healthy, with a radiant glow! This procedure is beneficial to people with all skin types. People who have dry skin can add chamomile, rose-water, comfrey, lavender or marshmallow root into the water for maximum effect. For oily skin type, rosemary, lavender, basil or lemongrass are good. For acne prone skin, addition of tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil or chamomile oil are suitable. People with highly sensitive skin are advised to undergo facial steaming only once a month.
Try out facial steaming for yourself and save the money you would otherwise end up spending at the salon.
- Emollient, softening, and lubricate skin
- Hydrate and moisturize skin
- Acts as an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory for acne skin
Our factory has developed a new serie of facial steamer with multi-functions. Please contact Emily Lin for more information, thank you!

Q: I used hot water to remove old wallpaper in a bedroom, which caused "bubbling" or blistering of the drywall. Apparently, I used too much moisture and seem to have lifted the texture on the drywall. Do I scrape it and apply new texture and if so, what is the best method? It is affecting only parts of two walls in the bedroom and would not involve the whole walls, just areas. What is the best method to go about this?
A: Making holes in walls while removing wallpaper is part of the job. Getting the wallpaper off is only the beginning, as you're about to find out. You're right; wetting the walls caused the bubbling. The paper "skin" of the drywall became saturated and released from the gypsum core. The fix will take some work, but it's relatively simple.
Before even thinking about tackling the bubbles, make sure the wallpaper paste residue is off the walls. A good sponge-washing with TSP (trisodium phosphate) will take care of this. For stubborn particles use a Scotch-Brite pad. Mix the TSP with water according to package directions. Use a sponge to wash the walls and remove the paste residue. Once the paste is all off, rinse the wall with clean water.
Scrape off the bubbles with a 4-inch drywall knife. Try not to gouge the walls, but make sure to get all the loose material off. Then it's time to patch.
We like to use a fast-setting joint compound like Durabond 45. It allows you to work at a steady pace but doesn't hold up progress waiting for the mud to dry. Durabond 45 is a powder that is mixed with water and sets hard in about 45 minutes. Mix only enough material that you can comfortably apply in 15 to 20 minutes. Any more time and the mud starts to harden and is tough to work. Patch the holes using a 4-inch drywall knife. Smooth it as best you can, but don't work it too much. Sand the patches smooth between coats with 150-grit sandpaper. It will probably take a couple of coats to complete the job. With the wall sanded smooth, it's ready for the finish of your choice: smooth wall; texture; or more wallpaper. …CONTINUED

After reading the specification, I am interested in proposing JSON API for use by my company for defining REST APIs.
However, I have not been able to find any public-facing API that used JSON API's specified envelope (Google has not been very helpful to me...).
Is there, anywhere, a list of companies or implementations that use JSON API's format in a public API? If not, do you know of any?
There's another thread that's old at this point: http://discuss.jsonapi.org/t/are-there-any-production-or-toy-apis-using-jsonapi/44
From the Ember Community Survey, a large number of people who use ember are using JSON API in production, so it's much more than that thread. We haven't done a good job of collecting them up on a page, though. We should.
I have an API that follows the spec more or less, with minor differences detailed in the docs such as nested resource creation (discussed more in #1089). I'd also be interested in seeing a list of other APIs, especially to see how they're writing their language bindings.

Tender bought the stake in Codecs through the geophysical expertise provider, Prospectiuni Bucharest (PRSN).
Prior to the deal, Codecs had 25 shareholders, the most important being Adrian Dan Babutan (17.08%), Catalin Ionescu (13.99%) and Gabor Kolumban (4.92%).
"The talks between us and the representatives of Ovidiu Tender completed on April 16, after only two days. I am glad things ended fast", said Catalin Ionescu, former chairman of Codecs.
Tender will also take over Codecs' debts, representing a €2.7 million loan taken by the training company in 2007. For the time being, Codecs still has €1.5 million to repay.
However, behind Tender's inroad into Codecs could be other reasons. The staff training company holds two office buildings in central Bucharest which could fetch around €28,000 per month in rents.
Ovidiu Tender had a fortune estimated at €300 million last year, according to Forbes 500. His best known businesses are the steam generator manufacturer Vulcan and geophysical expertise provider Prospectiuni. Tender group's operations also include investments in real estate, power, pharma or constructions.
In 1993, Ionel Chera founded Codecs. In time, the company turned into an educational conglomerate that holds a training division, printing house, a foundation and an MBA program offered in partnership with Open University School in UK.

First appeared in Picard's quarters in Suddenly Human.
I believe it's a match for a chalkware bust made by the Alexander Backer Co. (ABCO) of New York, active in the 1950s-60s.
Picard's has obviously been painted, probably to look like bronze; either by the company or the studio. Here are examples of ABCO pieces painted in a similar way:
There are also example of gilded pieces. A gilded surface, tarnished, in dim light, could account for its appearance as well.
I only found one example from a completed auction on eBay:
It was described as being 14" tall and 9" wide.
It had several chips and sold for between $45 to $60 depending on the shipping. This should give a very basic idea of market value if you want to look for any for sale.
Looks like the 1966 batman bust.
That was my first impression too!
They're similar but not the same. And the Batman bust is easier to find!
Had anyone identified this before now?
Cool find!
I went through my Picard Quarters files and was surprised how there wasn't a really great hero shot of that shelf with the bust. It always seems to reside far back from the action.
These shots from inner light were the best I could find.
Here's a different Shakespeare bust with the right finish.
I think, because it seems rare and the company is defunct, it would be great if someone who was good at casting could obtain one to reproduce. Anyone interested?
And you don't have to feel back at reproducing it....Backer lost in court over that. https://casetext.com/case/united-states-v-backer#!
That case that alleged the Alexander Backer Company recast existing pieces? I think I found the source of the recasting, but it might actually be the correct item for the prop as well.
19th Century Wedgwood Black Basalt Bust of William Shakespeare
"Marked "WEDGWOOD" "ONS" Victorian date letters for 1864 - 12 3/4" high"
Seems to be part of a pair that included John Milton:
"This pair of basalt busts are in the form of John Milton and William Shakespeare. They are marked Wedgwood and date from the 19th Century. They both measure approximately 12 + 7/8 inches tall 8 + 1/8 inches at the widest point."
When it was recast, an entablature was added of Shakespeare's name:
So, the question is...which version was used in Picard's quarters? I can't quite tell from the screencaps whether there is an entablature on the prop, or not. The top ridge of the pedestal base could be what is seen in the image, or it could be the name plaque. Can anyone tell for sure?

This terrible, horrifying case continues.
Lurid information emerged about the 2013 murder of a 24-year-old algebra teacher at Danvers High School in Massachusetts.
Witnesses said Philip Chism, 14 at the time, was "triggered" by Ritzer's utterance of the word Tennessee — the teen had recently moved from Tennessee to Massachusetts — and left the classroom talking to himself.
Ritzer was later discovered dead in a wooded area near the school. She was raped twice — once with a stick — her throat was cut by a box cutter and note saying "I hate you all" was left near the body.
"After she insulted me, that's when I became the teacher," court documents report Chism saying in a police interview.
Now shocking video has been released showing Ritzen's trip to the bathroom followed by Chism. He clearly looks around to make sure no one is looking and then puts up his hood before following Ritzen.
The teen then appears to put on gloves before walking into the bathroom and is in there for around 12 minutes.
During this time, the rape and murder took place. After this, Ritzen's body was transported to the woods in plastic bin.
As the New York Daily News noted, Chism was arrested hours later. A box cutter with Ritzer's blood on it was found in his backpack, along with her ID, credit cards and women's underwear.
Chism has admitted to committing these heinous crimes, but his defense team is arguing he isn't responsible because of mental illness.
Still, Chism was convicted and is serving life in prison with a chance of parole after 40 years. And, last month, Ritzer's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the town in which her murder occurred.
