Welcome to a weekly feature on 5WFootball, where we will look at some of the best crests in football. When you think of past teams, the first thought may well be the players, but secondary, the thought turns to the identity: the kit, the crest, the stadium, the fans. The emblem, like many elements in football, is rather cliché like – yes, some look nice, but nobody really knows what they mean. They are the symbol for the passion shared between fans and teams. This weekly feature celebrates the best, from all over the world. Welcome to week 5: Real Sociedad.
Unlike last weeks edition of 'COTW' with Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente and their hairless dog, this weeks features a more instantly recognisable crest: Real Sociedad. Despite this, like a few of the others covered in the early weeks of this series, few people actually know the origins and meaning behind Real Sociedad's football with the crown, covered by a blue and white flag.
Founded in 1908 as one of the founding members of La Liga, the club were given royal patronage two years later as the city of San Sebastián was home to the summer residence of the monarch. King Alfonso XIII granted the location his royal warrant, meaning they could be named Real Sociedad, or 'Royal Society of Football'.
This was reflected in the clubs first logo, which the only difference from the current one (seen above) is the SS was a different font – SS obviously standing for San Sebastián. The crown above the golden football is evidently a nod to the royal foundations behind the club. The blue and white is emblematic of the city flag.
Due to the Civil War, King Alfonso XIII was forced to leave the country due to political unrest. The club was renamed as Donostia Club de Fútbol – Donostia being the Basque name for San Sebastián. 57 years later, the crown returned, due to the end of the Spanish Civil War.
Sociedad's best ever period came in the 1980's, where the club managed two consecutive league titles. Between April 1979 and May 1980, Real Sociedad put together a record 38 game unbeaten run and this is a domestic record that neither of the big two in Spain can lay a claim for. Their rise to force was thanks to club legend Antoni Elizondo who assembled a young and hungry side full of Basque players, that a superb scouting team had nurtured from around the Guipúzcoa province.
In fact, until 1989, Sociedad held the same policy as their Basque rivals Athletic Bilbao which stipulated they could only sign Basque players. Evidently, it helped them win back-to-back titles in the early 80's, but the club realised that the better supported club from the bigger city with greater finances – Bilbao – had more pulling power. Therefore, they missed out on some key talents to their rivals, and they had little option but to ditch the policy. Their first non-Basque signing was (and this is a great trivia question) John Aldridge from Liverpool.
In recent history, Sociedad haven't had the same successes they did in the eighties, but they still have nurtured some notable names, such as Xabi Alonso and Antoine Griezmann. The former was made team captain at the tender age of 20, and guided the team away from relegation in an intense battle for safety.
The San Sebastián club may not have the history of some of Spain's greatest clubs, or even the Basque regions greatest clubs, but they do have an emblem that is globally recognised and has a strong meaning.

CALS, UA Little Rock to host scholar on race
Acclaimed scholar Richard T. Hughes will speak on "Understanding White Supremacy: Why We Must Hear Black Voices" on June 11 as part of the Central Arkansas Library System's Rabbi Ira E. Sanders Lecture Series, presented in partnership with UA Little Rock's Anderson Institute on Race and Ethnicity.
The lecture will begin at noon on Tuesday, June 11, at the Ron Robinson Theater, 100 River Market Ave. After the lecture, Hughes will sign copies of his book Myths America Lives By: White Supremacy and the Stories That Give Us Meaning.
According to Hughes, six myths lie at the heart of the American experience. Taken as aspirational, four of those myths remind us of our noblest ideals, challenging us to realize our nation's promise while galvanizing the sense of hope and unity we need to reach our goals. Misused, these myths allow for illusions of innocence that fly in the face of the primal American myth that stands at the heart of all the others—the myth of white supremacy.
Hughes is a professor emeritus at both Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, and Messiah College in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. He has written, co-authored and edited more than a dozen books including Illusions of Innocence: Protestant Primitivism in America, 1630-1875 and Christian America and the Kingdom of God.
"The notion of white supremacy puzzles some people and offends others," said Joel Anderson, chancellor emeritus. "In a time when divisions in the nation have increased, we need more than ever to have informed discussion of large issues that divide us, issues of race heading the list. Few scholars can address white supremacyt with the authority of Professor Richard Hughes. His lecture is a rare opportunity to learn from an outstanding scholar who has researched this controversial subject extensively."
The Sanders Lecture was established in 2000 to commemorate Rabbi Sanders's 40 years of service on the Boards of Trustees of Little Rock Public Library and the Central Arkansas Library System. The lecture includes topics that support Sanders's commitment to intellectual freedom.
The event is free and open to the public, but reservations are required. Online reservations are available through the Anderson Institute on Race and Ethnicity.
For more information, call 918-3000.

How to clean and maintain silver jewelry?
Posted by ZHUJACK
1.why dose wearing silver jewelry go black for a long time?
Why does silver turn black? Silver jewelry blackening is called silver oxidation phenomenon. No metal in the world can resist oxygen. As long as there is oxygen, it will produce oxidation phenomenon.Silver ions and sulfur ions have a great affinity, which is easy to produce chemical reaction. Silver sulfide is formed on the surface of silver. Silver sulfide is grey-black. The silver sulfide produced by long-term oxidation increases, making white silver jewelry black.
2.How to solve the oxidation phenomenon?
(1)Silver polishing cloth:scratches are small, but if used for a long time, the surface of ornaments will also produce small scratches.
(2)Silver washing water: Corrosive, can remove dirt, but will make jewelry lose luster, it is recommended not to use.
3.How to maintain silver jewelry?
The oxidation cleaning method of the appeal silver is a little Hurt to silver jewelry. There is no better way,It is recommended not to use. In order to maintain the silver jewelry, we need to pay attention to the following points:
(1) The best way to maintain silver jewelry is to wear it every day. The grease of human body will make silver jewelry produce natural and warm luster.
(2) avoid sticking with hair gel, perfume and skin care products, which will cause the luster to weaken.
(3) Do not wear other precious metal jewelry at the same time to avoid collision, deformation or abrasion. 925 silver content is very high, ductility is strong, do not pull hard.
(4) Avoid contact with chemicals and hot springs and seawater.
(5) When sleeping, take it off and don't wear it. When washing clothes and bathing, take it off as far as possible to avoid encountering alkaline substances.
(6) Do not wear jewelry when exercising. Sweat contains sulfur. Silver jewelry will react chemically and make silver jewelry black.
(7) Avoid putting multiple jewelry together in order to avoid collision and scratch and affect texture.
(8) Silver jewelry can be sealed and preserved without wearing, so as to avoid contact with air.

Trump wishes merry Christmas to military, children
President Donald Trump on Sunday morning wished a merry Christmas to America's service members, applauding representatives of each branch of the military for their successes in the past year.
"As we celebrate this most precious holiday, we're grateful for each of you who spend this Christmas away from your families and defend all of our families, our freedoms, and our flag," Trump said. "Every American heart is thankful to you, and we're asking God to watch over you and to watch over your families."
The president and first lady Melania Trump also participated in NORAD's annual efforts to track Santa Claus, and later tweeted his pleasure at the idea that Americans are saying "Merry Christmas" again to each other.
The president addressed five deployed units via teleconference, one from each branch of the armed forces, during his six-minute speech from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. In his remarks addressed to the individual units, Trump spoke of the fight against ISIS, the response to devastating hurricanes and on going work in Iraq and Syria.
Speaking to Army Colonel Chuck Lombardo and his "Iron Brigade," the president said Lombardo and his soldiers are doing an "incredible job" in their work in Iraq and Syria.
Combating ISIS has been a major focus of the president's military strategy, Trump praised the Air Force's 69th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron who joined the teleconference from Qatar. The president said they had engaged more than 700 ISIS and Taliban targets.
As he has in the past, the president marveled at the Coast Guard's response to hurricanes that hit Florida, Texas and Puerto Rico in 2017.
"The Coast Guard saved thousands and thousands of lives, almost it's unbelievable when I look at the charts, I saw the number of lives you saved."
The president is spending the holiday weekend at his Florida resort, from which he sent out a series of tweets bashing the FBI's leadership along with other missives about one of his favorite targets, the media.
But before he ushered journalists out to take questions from service members, Trump wished the assembled members of the media a merry Christmas and thanked them for coming.
The first couple also participated in NORAD's annual efforts to track Santa Claus. In the Mar-a-Lago living room, the Trumps took calls from children who called NORAD's Track Santa program. The children did not know they were going to talk to the president and the first lady and were patched through according to the White House pool report.
Trump spoke to Casper from Viriginia.
"What would you like more than anything?" the president asked.
"Building blocks, that's what I've always liked too. I always loved building blocks ... Well I predict Santa will bring you building blocks, so many you won't be able to use them all," he told the child.
He also spoke to Brian, 5, who asked for his grandmother to get out of the hospital.
"So you want your grandma to get out of the hospital? That's what your wish is? That's great. That's better than asking for some toy or something, that's much better, right? So your grandma's gonna be good, okay, she's gonna be good."
The first lady also spoke to children on the phone.
"How are you? Merry Christmas. Are you tracking Santa? Do you know where he is right now?" she asked.
The first lady assured children that Santa was en route: "As soon as you go to sleep, Santa will be there." She wished the kids and their parents a merry Christmas.
Later in the evening, the president tweeted that he was pleased that Americans are now saying "Merry Christmas again," though he offered no further basis for what might have changed in this regard between last year and this.
"People are proud to be saying Merry Christmas again," he tweeted. "I am proud to have led the charge against the assault of our cherished and beautiful phrase. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!"

The Vault to bring an ambitious fine dining restaurant to Financial District
Hi Neighbor Hospitality, the same folks who run neighborhood spots Stones Throw, Corridor and Fat Angel, are tackling a new category in the San Francisco restaurant world — fine dining.
The restaurant group's new venture is called the Vault and it will open on the first floor of 555 California St. sometime in spring 2019. The Financial District restaurant name's is a wink to the fact that it's actually opening inside of the former bank vault in what was once the Bank of America Center.
According to the Hi Neighbor crew, which consists of Ryan Cole, Jason Kirmse, Tai Ricci and executive chef Jason Halverson, the Vault will serve "elevated takes on classic Americana dishes."
The 4,800-square-foot restaurant is being designed by San Francisco-based D-Scheme Studio. It's also arguably one of the FiDi's most significant projects in recent memory, at least in terms of scope.
The vault will have about 160 seats, all of which are spread between a 60-seat dining room, a lounge, banquettes, booths, communal tables and a 15-seat bar area, and private dining spaces.
The location is a boon for the Hi Neighborhood crew when considering how the group's Mid Market restaurant Corridor ebbs and flows based on factors like when Square, a payment processing company nearby, shuts down its cafeteria.
In the building where the Vault is located, there are more than 5,000 employees working at companies like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Microsoft. As such, the Vault will cater to them, offering perks like access to private wine and liquor lockers at the restaurant.
Stay tuned for more details.

Carey Mulligan stays busy in wake of Shia LaBeouf break-up
HollywoodNews.com: While it was recently reported that Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan recently broke up, apparently they've been split up for some time. Nonetheless, the actress has been busy.
Though there has been reports that Mulligan, 25, plans to return to London, currently she is residing at a Los Angeles Best Western hotel during the production of the independent film "Drive."
"I don't know why people are so down on the Best Western," Mulligan told Page Six Monday, "They have the best sweet potato fries."
Mulligan warmly presented the Breakthrough Actor Award at the Hollywood Awards last night to her fellow "Never Let Me Go" co-star and friend Andrew Garfield.
Mulligan and LaBeouf met during the production of "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" in August 2009 in which they were cast as an onscreen couple.
Stone in a celebrity magazine interview remarked: "You could see their chemistry right away, and it was pretty powerful. They were completely professional on the set, but there was no mistaking what was happening."
LaBeouf, 24, previously dated his "Transformers" costar Megan Fox and singer Rihanna.

Design: Observational study with the baseline period of 1 yr before the start of a telemedicine intensive care unit program implementation at each of 5 hospitals. The post periods are 1, 2, and 3 yrs after telemedicine intensive care unit program implementation at each hospital. Setting: Ten adult intensive care units (114 beds) in five community hospitals in south Florida. A telemedicine intensive care unit program with remote 24/7 intensivist and critical care nurse electronic monitoring was implemented by a phased approach between December 2005 and July 2007. Measurements and Main Results: Records from 24,656 adult intensive care unit patients were analyzed. Hospital length of stay, intensive care unit length of stay, hospital mortality, and Case Mix Index were measured. Severity of illness using All Patient Refined-Diagnosis Related Groups scores was used as a covariate. From the baseline year to year 3 postimplementation, the severity-adjusted hospital length of stay was lowered from 11.86 days (95% confidence interval [CI] 11.55–12.21) to 10.16 days (95% CI 9.80−10.53; p < .001), severity-adjusted intensive care unit length of stay was lowered from 4.35 days (95% CI 4.22–4.49) to 3.80 days (95% CI 3.65–3.94; p < .001), and the relative risk of hospital mortality decreased to 0.77 (95% CI 0.69–0.87; p < .001). Conclusions: After 3 yrs of deployment of a telemedicine intensive care unit program, this retrospective observational study of mortality and length of stay outcomes included all cases admitted to an adult intensive care unit and found statistically significant decreases in severity-adjusted hospital length of stay of 14.2%, intensive care unit length of stay of 12.6%, and relative risk of hospital mortality of 23%, respectively, in a multihospital healthcare system. © 2012 by the Society of Critical Care Medicine and Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

(Recipe from the Taste of Asia TMX cookbook)
This is one of my favourite meals ever, so I was pretty excited to make it at home for the first time. The steps you would have to take normally – boiling the whole chicken and then plunging it in ice water so that the flesh is nice and firm, using the stock to make the rice, frying the rice beforehand – tooooo. Many. Steps.
Chinese wine, salt, white pepper and sesame oil for rubbing
1 whole chicken approx 1.5-1.7kg (I was only cooking for two and I don't have a cleaver to chop a chook up, so I used two chicken marylands instead)
4 cloves garlic (I was a renegade and used 5)
1 spring onion/shallot, chopped in half (I had extra so I used 2 spring onions)
4 slices ginger, peeled
2 eschalots, peeled
1 tbsp oil (I used sunflower)
Salt to taste
400g chicken rice (this ended up being more than enough for four servings)
1-1.5l chicken stock
1-2 pandan leaves (optional, I didn't bother)
A packet of beansprouts (not actually in the recipe book, but it's a nice addition to this dish)
- Mix 1-2 tsp Chinese wine, a little salt and pepper to taste and 1 tsp sesame oil in a small bowl. Rub this all over the chicken (and inside the cavity if it's whole). Stuff 2 garlic cloves, spring onion/shallot and 2 slices of ginger into the cavity (I ended up placing it in the Varoma dish surrounding the chicken). Set aside.
- Wash the beansprouts, and place in an even layer on the Varoma tray.
- Place remaining garlic, ginger, eschalots and oil into the TM bowl, and saute for 2 minutes at Varoma temperature on Reverse + Speed 2.
- Add rice and saute for 2 minutes at 100 degrees celcius on Reverse + Speed 2.
- Add about 1tsp of salt to taste (I only used 1/2 a tsp which was fine). Remove rice and pop in the TM basket. Set aside.
- Place 1L of chicken stock into the TM bowl. Set Varoma dish and tray into position, and steam for 25-45 minutes at Varoma temperature on speed 3 depending on the size of your chicken. I set the timer for 30 minutes for my two marylands.
- Top up chicken stock to 1L (I didn't bother opening a new packet of stock, I just added water to the existing liquid which tasted just fine).
- Place basket of rice (with pandan leaves if you want) into the TM bowl. Return the Varoma dishes to position, and cook for 15 minutes at Varoma temperature on speed 5.
- Mix 2 tbsp hot water, 3 tsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp sesame oil and 1/4 tsp sugar, mix well. Spoon over the chicken and beansprouts.
- Serve chicken, rice and beansprouts with some Hainanese Chilli Dip (recipe here) and Hainanese ginger dip (recipe to come!) and thick black sauce if you want. Doneski!

Project overview
This study aims to provide insight into how parents reach decisions about school preferences in real contexts.
In recent years, the idea of introducing competition into education systems has moved into the mainstream of English education policy. At the same time, concerns have been raised at the extent of segregation in English schools. Despite these policy changes, there is currently no academic consensus on whether choice and competition improve education outcomes, and on whether they improve or worsen social segregation.
This study stems from the view that the operation of an educational market in a specific place is contingent upon both the mix of schools in the local area and the preferences of the local population. The contribution of the market to school effectiveness, as well as its contribution to segregated school populations, will depend on local characteristics. These contributions will in turn feed back into the market conditions for future cohorts.
The researchers will aim to show that it is possible to model educational markets to provide insights into choice, competition and segregation in a specific context. They will demonstrate this using rich data sources, an expressive structural model and state-of-the-art statistical and computational methods. The model's rich structure will enable the researchers to simulate hypothetical scenarios to examine the effects of further deregulation, admissions reforms, or allocative mechanisms.
The project aims for this market analysis approach to be able to provide not only academic insights, but also to be useful for decision-making 'in the field'. To this end, the researchers will collaborate with national and regional policy-makers to simulate scenarios designed to answer their strategic and operational questions.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Number 9: Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Buying Guide, Top mobile phones compared: what phone is best for you?
9. Samsung Galaxy Note 3
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is alive and kicking and breathes yet more life into a mobile form factor many thought would be dead on arrival, ramping up the specs and the size to give us a new monolith of mobile.
It may be big, but the 5.7-inch display is fantastic and the Full HD Super AMOLED technology makes everything pop from websites to movies.
You're able to fit a lot more on screen at a time and that means less scrolling in messages, on websites and down your long contact list and that can only be a good thing.
What really impressed us with the Galaxy Note 3 though was its battery life and sheer speed under the finger. We're used to a day at best when hardcore using the device, but we got far past that without breaking a sweat throughout our tests.
The speed of the Snapdragon 800 quad core processor, combined with 3GB of RAM, means this is the least-slouchy phone we've encountered in a while.
Quick verdict
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a great phone and if you were to own one you wouldn't be disappointed. It provides a great onscreen experience – as long as your hands are big enough to reach across it – and its stuffed so full of tech to almost warrant its lofty price tag.
Its size will be a real stumbling point for many and we'd recommend going into a store and just holding the Note 3 for a while to see if it's something you can cope with – in short, we want all this but in a form that we can hold easily, at a lower price and without the S Pen.
So, essentially, we're really looking forward to the Galaxy S5.

Leaked Samsung Galaxy S5 benchmark reveals specs, beats Galaxy Note 3
Ahead of its MWC 2014 debut, Samsung Galaxy S5's hardware spec sheet has leaked out with a set of benchmark shots.
HD Blog spotted leaked AnTuTu benchmark testing screens revealing Samsung next flagship phone will out speed the Galaxy Note 3.
Before you say "well duh," what's interesting is the screens confirm that the phone will indeed skimp out on the rumored 2560 x 1440 AMOLED screen. Instead it will feature a full HD 1920 x 1080 display with a 480 pixel-per-inch density.
It will also have a slightly bumped up 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, although there's no confirmation if it will be 64-bit. Meanwhile other elements of the phone's system hardware include an Adreno 330 GPU, 2GB of RAM, and Android 4.4.2 KitKat.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the upcoming device is the 16-megapixel camera on the back. Up front it will also include a two-megapixel sensor.
One (sad) saving grace
The hardware revealed in the latest AnTuTu screenshots fall in line with our earlier concerns that the Galaxy S5 would be the most underwhelming Samsung handset yet.
Despite the unimpressive screen and internal hardware, the Samsung Galaxy S5 might still have some things going for it. One of these is a swiping fingerprint scanner that's purported to be better than the Apple iPhone 5S'.
We'll soon know if the Samsung Galaxy S5 is as boring as it seems on paper when it gets its big reveal at MWC 2014. Stay tuned for more!
- World leading specs count for everything, just look at how much we liked the Motorola Moto G.

People thought they are gone from this world, but no! They are back!
In deep caves, deeper in the hell or high above in the End, there they grow.
Only true adventures are brave enough to collect them...
..or you just to lazy to go mining.
Don't waste time whith mining, sit back and watch them grow!
- Various ore shrubs that spawn in the overworld, nether and the end. (See supported Mods/Ores)
- Ore Berries can be crafted to the corresponding nuggets or ingots.
- A shrub trap that can be enchanted and cause mobs to drop additional experience.
- Loot Bags with random chest loot! Can be crafted from random berries.
- Forgotten Shrines will be generated in the world. Inside of them grow a Random shrub.
Whats inside this mod?
If you are not sure how to craft something in my mod, you can use JEI to figure it out. I don't think you just play with my mod.
Ore Shrub Block
These are the actual ore shrubs you can find in the world. The common ores are supported by default (see list below), all others can be added by json file (see also below) or by using the API of my mod.
Normal ores that generate in the overworld have ore shrubs that also spawn in the overworld. If a ore generate naturally in the Nether or the End the shrub will generate there too.
The default ore shrubs only can grow if the light level is below 10, if the light level is higher they will start shrinking.
They naturally generate on stone, but once you harvest them you can replace them on every solid block.
Ore Berries
That are the berries you can harvest from the ore shrub blocks if they are fully grown.
You can craft them to the material out of the shrub is. For example a gold berries can crafted to a gold nugget.
If a nugget type of a ore are not avaiable you can craft directly nine berries to a ingot.
There are even more recipes. Take a look in JEI to find that out!
You can also configure recipes in the configs, if you don't like some of them.
Compressed Ore Berries
Some times the berries can take to much space in your chests, then you can craft four of them to a compressed one.
Compressed experience berries can also be consumed, you will get tha same amount of experience as out of four single ore berries.
Forgotten Shrines, Random Shrubs & Random Berries
While you explore your world you will notice some strange looking shrines with a single shrub on a obsidian block.
These random shrubs are special shrubs and different to normal shrubs. This shrub only grow if it has at least a light level of 13! Otherwise it will start shrink and will turn in a withered shrub.
Random berries are the harvest from the shrub. These are hard to get, because the random shrub will only grow slowly.
These berries can be used to craft loot bags, a shrub trap or you right click them to get a random berry from all availables.
Withered Shrub
It's exactly what it is. It's nearly useless, but you can craft a wither trap out of it or the shrub fertilizer.
Shrub Trap
The shrub trap will kill mobs easly for you and the best thing is, you can enchant them!
With a Damage enchanting, Looting and Fire Damge. If the trap has at least Looting I it will also drop experience from every killed mob.
You can craft it to a 'Wither Proofed' variant, while it will take no damage from the wither!
Shrub Fertilizer
The shrub fertilizer can be used to speed up the growth process of the ore shrubs, but once they have thier full size the effect is less effective. The random shrub can not be speed up for getting the berries faster
You craft it out of a empty bag, four bone meal and either four berries or four withered shrubs.
Empty Bag
The empty bag is just a crafting compontent.
Default Supported Mods / Ores
- Copper
- Tin
- Lead
- Silver
- Aluminum
- Uranium
- Experience
- Cobalt (Nether)
- Ardite (Nether)
- Iron (Overworld)
- Gold (Overworld)

How do make custom shrubs?
If you are not sure what you can use do define a custom shrub, have a look at this file:
Settings for custom shrubs
HERE you get a table of all settings you can use to make a custom shrub via JSON-File.
If you are a mod maker and want to add completely own implementations, you can use my API.
You can get the API from the GitHub Page.
There is not much here. I think the name really describe what the mod does!
- Minecraft Forge (at least version 22.214.171.1241)
- Minecraft Forge (at least version 18.104.22.1686)
- Minecraft Forge (at least version 22.214.171.12462)
Can I help you?
If you want to help me, you can translate my mod.
You can do a pull-request on GitHub or you contact me with the changes.
Visit the project side on Curse or download it directly from here:
You can use this mod in any modpack.
But it would be nice if you give credits to me and show a link pointing to this side or the Curse Project Side of this mod.

Meh! This is something we both did regularly during the Cold War. We poke them and see what they do. They poke us and see what we do. If we do something, that reveals something about our capabilities that they may not have known. The best course of action is to do nothing, and thus reveal nothing. So having a poltroon in the White House may have worked out OK for us this time.
One wiseguy suggested filling our chaff launchers with glitter and glue, and launching the stuff into their path. 😉
Yep. If that destroyer didn't know about those jets shortly after they took off, someone is doing it wrong.
Every gun and defensive missile on that ship should have been in "quiet mode". No sense in giving them intel. If the captain had any reason to kill those jets, it would have been done out past the horizon.

30 yards off the bow and below the level of the bridge? As trigger-happy as the Soviets were in those days? I'd like a citation for that, please.
Ya, me too. I don't recall reports quite like this. Maybe they went unreported…
They need to time the flyby with a large release of nitrogen in the atmosphere…
The main thing to remember is that it was just a stupid stunt that the Captain of the ship clearly realized.
Regardless of what the media says, this never presented itself as flying an "Attack Profile".
You sink ships with big missiles which you launch from 30+ miles away, not by flying directly towards & over/near the ship, that's just a quick way to die.
The only reason to fly closer than a couple of miles of a ship in combat is if you only had bombs, which these fighters did not (despite clueless commentators saying otherwise).
The American kid behaving badly in Russia's neighborhood, representing special interests: Turkey, Muslims, left-wing Europeans, globalists?
The response from the locals was rational and predictable, and has historical precedence.

Bahamian Yachting, Part 3
And now the conclusion of Larry's New Year's Eve yachting adventure … (You can find Part 1 HERE.)
Fortunately, the boat still had all batteries in working order, and we radioed for assistance. One of the Blue Thunder interceptors – Warren Parks was the skipper – arrived around midnight and tossed us a line. I climbed out to the bow and, hanging onto the railing with one arm and both legs, I attached a line to the hauling ring between the deck and the waterline, tying a bowline knot with one hand. I got dunked a couple times while doing it.
An hour later, I determined that we were making negative progress and our rescuers were going to run out of fuel before we got anywhere. So I cut the Blue Thunder loose, and Warren told me he would figure something out with the supervisor and get back as soon as possible.
The three of us sat in the cockpit trying to avoid the wind. Nobody wanted to go below in the pitching boat since many things had broken loose and were flying about the cabin. We had some brief discussion about the fate of the suspected smugglers. None of us felt good about their presumed bad outcome. (My wife doesn't like my stories where somebody gets killed, and she asks that I refer to it as a bad outcome instead of the K or D words) There was some speculation as to whether the smugglers met a bad outcome by drowning or got badly outcomed by sharks. Ultimately my crew decided that we were very lucky. I remember muttering something like the night wasn't over yet.
The only nice diversion were some fireworks far off to the west at midnight. Around 0400 on New Year's Day, 1988, Supervisor Joe Goulet and Warren Parks arrived in the 63 foot Hatteras yacht from our command center in Cat Cay. The boat was supposed to stay at the dock but Joe was the kind of boss who didn't leave his men drifting in the ocean.
I did my one-handed-tie-the-bowline-knot-while-dunking-in-and-out-of-the-shark-infested-ocean trick again. This time we got on board the Hatteras and dried off in the warm cabin. I took the helm to relieve Warren. The boat had clearly been rolling hard getting to us. The furnishings and one large radar repeater had broken loose. The return was easier, as the seas had laid down considerably. I thanked Joe for coming to our rescue.
He said that I would have done it for him. He was right, I would have.
Warren mentioned something about coming back to see me do the towline trick again.
The larger vessel's two big diesels had no problem pulling M-676 back to Cat Cay. We pulled into the dock at 0700 and made the obligatory joke about how we hadn't been there since last year. The supervisor reminded us all that there was no overtime for the day, since our shift had ended at midnight and we had the holiday off.
I spent the next three days putting M-676 back together well enough to get us home, which she did. I had some paperwork ahead of me.
7 Responses to Bahamian Yachting, Part 3
Glad they came to your rescue and were able to save the boat. Your outcome was much better than the smugglers'.
Whew! I'm glad there was no "bad outcome" for the good guys 🙂
Hi Larry and Dianne .. well yes I'm glad there was no bad outcome for you both .. the smugglers – not a good thought. Love the idea of saying you hadn't been there since last year ..
Still you're here to tell us the tale .. thanks and cheers to you both and your families .. enjoy Christmas and family time – Hilary
Thank you and all the best to you and yours.
Well, now, after all that tension, I have to say I rather enjoyed the tale as a whole. Now, when can we get that novel?
Merry Christmas and glad things worked out well for you all. The smugglers? well, yeah…
As a taxpayer, I'm certainly glad you didn't get overtime pay for lolling about the ocean watching fireworks. Whew.
I totally agree. We got to go on a ride Disney couldn't match, I got a little salt water immersion therapy, and we got to relax without any of those loud engine noises. Plus we got to ride home in a luxury yacht- We should have paid the Treasury Department for the day.

Chris Wilder believes Birmingham City will be 'tough nut to crack' at St Andrews on Wednesday night.
Speaking prior to the clash in the midlands, Wilder remarked: "Without their points deduction Birmingham would be just outside the play-offs.
"It has obviously affected Garry (Monk) and his players because they are a big club in the division and they'd have wanted to strengthen.
"It certainly goes unnoticed by a lot of people that they still have a lot of good players, Che (Adams) deserves the accolades, he's had a top season, and they have the likes Jutkiewicz, Maghoma, Jota and the Gardner brothers."
Wilder added: "They've had a settled side, they've spent big money on some of the defenders too and they are a tough nut to crack, they will have been disappointed not to have won here.
"They are a top ten side in the division and perhaps would have challenged higher. That shows what a good side they are and what a tough place it is to go and get a result."

Doctor Prescribed OTC Acne Treatment
Have you ever paid a co-pay for a doctor's visit, and left with a treatment plan you could have found with Google? Unfortunately, it's happened to me more than once! A few months ago I went to my doctor seeking treatment for acne. I left with an intense OTC acne treatment plan. Five of the six skin care products my doctor prescribed are available over-the-counter.
Related Post: the Tricare Acne Treatment that Works
The 5 over-the-counter-prescription-alternatives were easy to locate (at cheap prices no less). I just checked my favorite #adulting dynamic duo. I'm talking Google + Amazon.com.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all about going to the doctor if you're sick. But having acne isn't exactly being sick. And it's a lot easier to get to a drug store than to a doctor.
OTC Acne Treatment Products
If you're any good at adulting, then you probably know seeing a doctor costs $$$$ dollars.
I prefer going to the doctor after exhausting OTC treatment plans. If your doctor knows you've used OTC acne products appropriately (but still have bad acne)… then he/she is more likely to prescribe something worth your time and copay.
The 5 OTC skin care products my doctor prescribed as the first line of defense against acne are: 1) a gentle cleanser, 2) a topical retinol cream, 3) a benzoyl peroxide wash, 4) an alcohol free toner, and 5) a daily moisturizer. I got three of these products from my pharmacy free of charge, (yay health insurance). But you can buy cheap OTC versions with the same active ingredients at a drug store/from the internet.
Below are the over-the-counter equivalents I recommend. These are the brands I am comfortable with, and the products that I am using today.
A gentle cleanser
My Tricare branch pharmacy gave me Ketaphil, but the over-the-counter version is Cetaphil. Cetaphil is not new to me. My sister has very sensitive skin and Cetaphil is her face wash of choice. In the past, I used Cetaphil at her suggestion. Cetaphil is available at Amazon, Target, and ULTA.
A topical retinol cream
There are a lot of retinol products out there. Just take a look at this Amazon search.
But I recommend Neutrogena OTC retinol product. Because Neutrogena is recommended by dermatologists. FOR REAL. They advertise being "the #1 brand recommended by dermatologists." And they are actually recommended by dermatologists! My brother had the pleasure of seeing a dermatologist in high school for acne much worse than mine. The dermatologist advised my brother to use Neutrogena.
Neutrogena sells multiple retinol products. I believe I used the Healthy Skin version in college. Healthy Skin Anti-wrinkle Night Cream is available at Amazon and ULTA.
A benzoyl peroxide face-wash
Ironically enough, the benzolyn peroxide face-wash that is available over-the-counter is stronger than the pharmacy version I received. At 10% benzoyl peroxide, Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Cleanser has the same active ingredient at 200% of my prescription skin care treatment. Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Cleanser is available at Amazon, Target, and ULTA (listed from least to most expensive).
An alcohol free toner
Product number one not provided by my pharmacy is alcohol free toner. Here is the Neutrogena Alcohol Free Toner that I am loyal to. This is the only OTC toner advertised as "alcohol free" at my drug store. And I've stuck with it! You can buy the Neutrogena Alcohol Free Toner at Amazon, Target, and ULTA (Amazon and Target are equal in price, ULTA is more expensive).
Product number two not provided by my pharmacy is Moisturizer. It's also the most
uhh duhhhcommon sense skin care product within my prescribed OTC acne treatment plan.
I've been using moisturizer in my skin care routine for years. But I started using Burt's Bees moisturizer about 2 years ago. The older I get the more I care about using natural and organic products. If you're looking for products that are both organic and cost effective, Burt's Bees is the bomb!
I've tried a couple of the many Burt's Bees Daily Moisturizers. I usually pick the cheapest one from those available on my drug store shelf or sold via Amazon Prime. Strangely enough the Sensitive Skin version will be cheaper one day, while the Intense Hydration version is cheaper the next.
If you need help choosing, my husband did notice when I started using the Brightening version. Burt's Bees Daily Moisturizers are available at Amazon, Target, and ULTA.
Pro tip: Facial moisturizers are often sold in plastic containers larger than the amount of product they contain. When comparing the cost of moisturizers make sure you compare the ml listed in fine print.
Have you tried any of these OTC acne treatment products? Did they work for you?

PLUS Loan Application Denied - What Now?
As the parent of a college student, there is a good chance that you have filled out a PLUS loan application at some point. PLUS loans allow the parents of college students to borrow money to help pay for their college or cover other expenses. While this is a great program, sometimes, you are denied the ability to take out loan. If you have not been approved for the loan that you need, you may be wondering what to do next. Here are a few options that you could have if your PLUS loan application is denied.
Home Equity Loan
If your PLUS loan application is denied, one of the best options that you may have is to take out a home equity loan. With a home equity loan, you can gain access to money at a reasonable interest rate to help you pay for college expenses. If your home equity is available, using it for this can be a very good option. You can get a low, fixed payment every month and just borrow money that you have already earned by paying your mortgage. With the home equity loan, you can even deduct the interest that you pay on your income taxes. This will give you a major advantage over other types of loans that you could get as it will basically save you most of the money that you have paid to the lender in payments. You can increase your income tax refund and help your child pay for college all at the same time.
Personal Loan
Another option that you could pursue is to get a personal loan. Personal loans are usually not secured by any collateral and largely depend on your credit. The interest rates that you can get on these are usually not as low as that of a PLUS loan or a home equity loan, but it could be your next best option.
One of the most common ways to get a personal loan is to apply at the bank. They do many personal loans every day and if you have worked with them in the past, they may be willing to accommodate you. Although personal loan terms will not be as good as a HELOC or student loan, it is a viable option. Be sure to budget your money properly so that you do not end up financially strapped.
Life Insurance Policy Loan
If you have a whole life insurance policy or some other policy with cash value, you could potentially borrow against it to pay for college expenses. This is a good option because the interest is very low and the loan does not depend on your credit. If your insurance policy allows for loans, you can borrow against them. You also will generally receive flexible repayment terms. If you choose not to make a payment, the interest will just be added onto the balance of the loan. This gives you a lot of options during the repayment period to work with.

BEIJING, April 23 Xinhua) -- China's manufacturing activity picked up momentum in April but still remains below the boom-or-bust level, according to a reading of the manufacturing purchase manager index (PMI) released by HSBC on Monday.
The flash China manufacturing PMI hit a two-month high of 49.1 in April, up slightly from 48.3 in March, according to HSBC.
A reading above 50 suggests expansion, while a reading below 50 indicates contraction.
"Since the April flash PMI ticked higher, this suggests that previous easing measures have started to work and should therefore ease concerns of a sharp growth slowdown," said Qu Hongbin, chief economist at HSBC China and co-head of Asian Economic Research at HSBC.
"In an historical context, the pace of both output and demand growth has remained at a low level and the job market is under pressure. This calls for additional easing measures in the coming months. We expect monetary and fiscal easing to speed up in the second quarter," Qu said.
HSBC's preliminary figure for the Chinese PMI is calculated based on 85 to 90 percent of the total responses to HSBC's monthly PMI survey, and is issued about one week before the final PMI reading.
The National Bureau of Statistics and the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing are expected to release official PMI data for April on May 1. The official PMI data are based on a survey of purchasing managers in more than 820 companies in 20 industries.
The official PMI results were not in line with the HSBC reading last month, suggesting different outlooks for China's manufacturing activity.
The official PMI beat the expectations of most analysts and jumped to 53.1% in March, 2.1 percentage points higher than a month earlier
HSBC placed China's final March PMI at 48.3, representing a decline for five consecutive months.
HSBC economist Qu Hongbin attributed the difference between the official and HSBC readings to different survey samples and methods of seasonal adjustment.
The calculation of the official PMI index covers more than 800 enterprises, including more state-owned and large enterprises, while HSBC's poll includes around 400 small- and medium-sized companies.

Chicago Bears make big investment in guard Cody Whitehair.
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky wore a smile Sunday like he just received a big contract extension.
In a way, it was an investment by the Bears in their quarterback. The Bears signed one of Trubisky's protectors, left guard Cody Whitehair, to a five-year contract extension through 2024.
"He always puts the team first," Trubisky said. "In here early; last guy to leave. Just a selfless player and does his job on the field. He definitely deserves everything he has gotten.
"I feel like I just got paid a little bit too. (The team's) got to take care of my guys up front, and they certainly are."
The Bears did not release terms of the agreement beyond its length.
"It's definitely important, but it's important it got done now so we can just focus on this week and beating Green Bay," Whitehair said.
The Bears and Packers open the 100th NFL season Thursday night at Soldier Field.
Whitehair's signing means the Bears have their five starting offensive linemen under contract through at least 2020.
"That stability of that line, you ask a quarterback what it means to have those guys in front of you who are consistent," Bears coach Matt Nagy said. "I mean, you probably saw ... the t-shirt Mitch was wearing the other day before the game? He had his five offensive linemen on his t-shirt.
"That's pretty cool. There aren't moving parts there. Those are all the same guy. So, we like that."
Whitehair anticipated this would happen after seeing the way the Bears went about signing the other offensive linemen to extensions in recent years.
"I had full belief that they wanted me here and to keep me here," Whitehair said. "I was just focused on playing and getting better.
"Obviously, with the position switch I had some dust to knock off so that's what I was focused on."
Whitehair moved to left guard this season from center after making the Pro Bowl as an alternate last year. Second-year guard James Daniels became the center.
It was only a small move for Whitehair because he has played some at guard in past seasons.
The Bears' offensive line last year allowed 33 sacks, tied for eighth fewest in the league, and were 11th in rushing (1,938 yards).
During preseason, the line and the rest of the starting offense had virtually no playing time. Whitehair said practice was enough considering they were facing the league's No. 1 scoring defense from last year on a daily basis.
"I think just going against our defense every day, they play at a high level and do a lot," Nagy said. "Going against them every day and as physical as they are just prepares us really well."
Kicker Eddy Pineiro won the kicking battle over Elliott Fry and no other kicker has been brought in by the Bears for now. He'll kick against the Packers. "I mean, it's a lot of weight lifted off my shoulders," Pineiro said. "I'm excited to be the guy. This organization believes in me and has given me a shot to be where I'm at." On Sunday prior to practice at Halas Hall, Pineiro went to Soldier Field with long snapper Patrick Scales and holder/punter Patrick O'Donnell to practice. ... The Bears brought back 10 players who had been cut Saturday to form a practice squad. Offensive lineman Alex Bars, quarterback Tyler Bray, defensive back Stephen Denmark, linebacker Jonathan Harris, tight end Jesper Horsted, wide receiver Thomas Ives, defensive back Michael Joseph, offensive lineman Sam Mustipher, running back Ryan Nall and linebacker James Vaughters formed the practice squad.

Teacher's Day
Here at Pattaya Events we normally bring you news of epic musical events or great sporting happenings in and around the Pattaya area. People associate Pattaya with fun happenings and great entertainment.
But the great seaside city also likes to keep traditional Thai traditions alive, as well as some of the newer celebration days that have crept into the Thai calendar. In this blog we focus on Teacher's Day that will be celebrated on the 16th January 2019, which coincidentally is just four days after national Children's Day.
Teachers Day
Most people in Pattaya, or actually in Thailand for that matter, are not aware there is actually a day dedicated to teachers. Wan Kru or Teacher's Day is celebrated every year in Thailand and is also a school holiday.
It is a day when students gather together to remember their teachers and thank them for imparting great knowledge and wisdom. If you are European or American you will probably be really surprised how Thai school children respect their schools and their teachers.
Until fairly recently education was a privilege and not for everybody, therefore Thai's appreciate what their country is doing for them. Thai students are extremely well attired and very attentive in class.
Unlike Western schools were most school kids have a blatant disrespect for the education system, in Thailand, the students feel privileged to receive an education. It elevates them from an automatic adult future of working in the fields or factories.
The Origins of Teacher's Day
Teacher's Day originated in 1957 and has continued ever since as a celebration. The events on the day include a ceremony of paying respect to the teacher by chanting a Pali prayer, which in turn offers up strength and unity amongst the teaching fraternity. There is, of course, religious connotations to the day, such as offering food to monks and pouring water as a sign of dedication of merit to the old teachers.
Confucius once said, "A true teacher is one who, keeping the past alive, is also able to understand the present." And this is perfectly true of the good mentors out there, who toil daily to give the children the tools they need to survive life.
This is why Thai parents teach their young children to always respect their teachers and to understand that their teachings are really important.
On the day, all students come to school with flowers and prostrate at their teacher's feet to give thanks and respect. The flowers hold great symbolism, the bouquets given to the teachers have three specific flowers in them: one for wit, one for respect, and the other for perseverance. In performing the ritual, the students are thanking the teachers for having been taught well in the past, while hoping to gain merit and good luck for the future.
The Purpose of Teacher's Day
So the day serves two real purposes, it offers the opportunity for the teachers to remember their old past tutors, and also for present-day students to pass their respects onto their current instructors and ask for their blessings for their future good luck in learning.
Impressions last a lifetime, and the lessons learned will be passed down to others, almost like inheritances of wisdom. So it is fitting that on January the 16th, teachers have a special day where we can all celebrate one of the noblest and most selfless callings of all.

Brussels, Dec 17:
The European Union's new foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini has expressed her disappointment over the Indian Supreme Court's decision on the case of two Italian marines and warned that the issue could impact on EU-India relations.
"The decision to deny the plea of Massimiliano Latorre for an extension of his stay in Italy for medical treatment and to refuse Salvatore Girone permission to spend the Christmas period at home is disappointing, as a long awaited mutually agreed solution has not yet proved possible," said Mogherini, a former Italian foreign minister, in a statement late Tuesday night.
"The situation of these two European military personnel has been pending for almost three years now. The EU has consistently called for a mutually agreeable solution, in the interest of both Italy and India, based on international law. The issue has the potential to impact the overall European Union-India relations and has also a bearing on the global fight against piracy, to which the EU is strongly committed," she stated.
The EU will continue to follow closely the issue, is in touch with the Italian government and reiterates its call for a swift solution, added the Statement.

The following is general information that may be helpful to you if you have been fitted with a cast or splint. It is important to take care of your cast or splint to minimize the risk of complications.
General information
- Mild swelling of the injured area is the rule during the first few days to weeks. Swelling will make your cast feel tight initially. To reduce swelling, keep the cast above the level of your heart for 24 to 48 hours by resting it on pillows. Gently move your fingers or toes frequently to prevent stiffness.
- If you have been prescribed pain medication take it as scheduled and stay ahead of the pain. The medications take time to work so don't delay taking medication for too long. After the first few days, you may be able to take a non-prescription pain medication, such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or acetaminophen (Tylenol).
- Do not get the cast or splint wet. To bathe with a cast, cover the cast with a plastic bag, tape the opening shut (you may also use rubber bands), and put the cast outside shower area. Even when covered with plastic, you should not place the cast in water or allow water to run over the area. Waterproof cast covers are available at medical supply stores, but are not completely waterproof.
- If the cast becomes slightly wet, you can dry it with a hair dryer on the cool setting. Do not use the warm or hot setting because this can burn the skin. You can also use a vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment to pull air through the cast and speed drying.
- Keep the cast clean and avoid getting dirt or sand inside the cast. Do not apply powder or lotion on or near the cast. Cover the cast when eating.
- Do not place anything inside the cast, even for itchy areas. Sticking items (such as hangers or pencils) inside the cast can injure the skin and lead to infection. Using a hair dryer on the cool setting may help soothe itching.
- Do not pull the padding out from inside your cast.
You will likely have a splint on your extremity after fracture surgery. This is a partial cast that is wrapped in a soft cotton layer with a strip of hard plaster running down one side of your arm or leg. The splint allows normal swelling without damaging the skin or tissue around your surgery site. Sometimes there will be a small bloodstain on the bandage especially near your surgical incision. This is normal. The splint is designed to wick blood away from your skin and out to the surface of the cast. Do not get the splint wet as this will cause the plaster to soften and the padding will stay wet. This can delay the healing process if it occurs. If you do get the splint damp, take a hair dryer on the cool setting and blow it into the wet area.
Color changes, temperature changes, throbbing and burning around the incisions can be normal, especially in the first few days.
When to Seek Help
- If there are sore areas or a foul odor coming from the cast, cracks or breaks in the cast, or if the cast feels too tight and does not respond to elevation.
- You develop swelling that causes pain or makes it so you cannot move your fingers or toes.
- The cast becomes soaking wet and does not dry sufficiently with a hair dryer or vacuum.
- If any of the above occur you may need to go the ER or the office if it is during business hours.

The 9 steps of Z.O. Obagi HydraFacial MD®
*Below are the steps for ZO HydraFacial Treatment which will leave your skin glowing, refreshed, and hydrated. It's a the most advanced and complex solution for an ultimate skin cleansing, exfoliating and protection.*
1Step 1: Cleansing
This step aims to remove all the dirt and oil on the face. There are two cleansers available depending on skin type. These two cleansers are Offects Hydrating Cleanser and Foamacleanse. Offects Hydrating Cleanser is used for those with normal to dry skin. Unlike other cleansers that leave the skin dry, Offects Hydrating Cleanser rejuvenates and hydrates the skin while gently removing dead skin cells and promoting skin renewal. This hydrating cleanser soothes, repairs, and restores skin. Foamacleanse is another cleanser used for this step. This cleanser is appropriate for all skin types. It is a deep pore cleanser that effectively gets rid of deep-seated dirt and oil and leaves the skin feeling intensely clean, hydrated, and refreshed.
2Step 2: Exfoliation
The second step is to exfoliate using the HydraFacial MD Activ-4 solution. This solution cleanses and exfoliates skin by lessening oil accumulation in the face and eventually removing dead skin cells. HydraFacial MD Activ-4 solution has glucosamine HCl that reduces the appearance of fine lines and prevents wrinkles. It also contains algae extract which is packed with hydrating and nourishing antioxidants to help skin achieve its smoothest and softest state. These antioxidants detoxify the skin and supply rich vitamins and minerals for the skin to absorb.
3Step 3: Activation
In this step, 7.5% glycolic acid and 2% salicylic acid are used to simultaneously exfoliate and peel the skin gently without causing any irritation. The 7.5% glycolic acid is used to shed off dead skin cells and help declog blocked up pores. It also helps in lessening the appearance of fine lines and reducing the size of pores to leave skin looking younger, smoother, and more radiant.
Meanwhile, the role of the 2% salicylic acid in this stage is for skin exfoliation. It sloughs off dead skin cells and removes excess sebum, which is the main reason for clogged pores and skin.
Meanwhile, the role of the 2% salicylic acid in this stage is for skin exfoliation. It sloughs off dead skin cells and removes excess sebum, which is the main reason for clogged pores and skin.
4Step 4: Extraction
The next step of this treatment uses HydraFacial MD Beta-HD. This solution is formulated to address the skin problems of people with oily skin. With excess oil, the skin tends to have clogged pores, which can lead to blackheads and whiteheads. HydraFacial MD Beta-HD contains salicylic acid that deeply cleanses the skin and targets the pores. It gently exfoliates the skin and removes dirt and sebum within the pores. In addition, HydraFacial MD Beta-HD has honey extract, an organic ingredient that helps in the natural hydration of the skin. Honey extract is rich in minerals and amino acids that help restore skin elasticity, making skin smooth and supple. It also soothes the skin for any irritation and inflammation. Another potent ingredient found in HydraFacial MD Beta-HD is spiraea ulmaria flower extract. It helps calm and soothe skin by locking in moisture and keeping it naturally hydrated. In this step, you can also use Offects TE-Pads. These moistened pads work to tone, prep, and further cleanse the skin, ridding the sebum, dirt, and dead skin cells that weren't removed in the previous steps. Offects TE-Pads contain botanical extracts that calm inflammation and irritation, making it safe to use especially for acne-prone skin. If you'll be using the pads at home, just massage or pat on the face using gentle motions. Don't rub, tug, or wipe roughly as doing so will cause your skin to stretch and sag over time.
5Step 5: Masque Application
At this stage of the ZO Obagi HydraFacial, the physician will check and recommend a masque depending on your skin type and condition.
6Step 6: Antioxidant Infusion
In this step, the skin will be detoxified using AntiOx-6, which contains hyaluronic acid and different antioxidants such as vitamins A and E, white tea extract, horse chestnut extract, and rosemary extract. These antioxidants help get rid of impurities, tighten skin, and boost the detoxification process. The AntiOx6 is also fortified with TonePerfect complex that decreases melanin production which results to whiter, firmer, and tighter skin. Liprebuild is applied on the lips to restore its smooth and supple state. It targets common lip problems such as dryness and wrinkles. This product can improve the shape and contour of the lips while returning it to its natural rosy hue. Afterward, light therapy is done using the LightStim LED. This therapy produces light rays that energize and stimulate regeneration of the cells in the body. LightStim LED has three different wavelengths: 1. Amber – It reduces and removes fine lines and wrinkles by activating the body's natural process of producing collagen and elastin. 2. Blue – It is used especially for people who are prone to acne. This light helps heal skin, calm existing breakouts, and eliminates acne-causing bacteria to prevent future breakouts. Eventually, skin is cleared of acne scars. 3. Red – This light reduces inflammation and relaxes the skin as a result of good blood circulation. Good blood circulation speeds up healing and minimizes bruising.
7Step 7: Arm and Hand Massage
You can also get an arm and hand massage using Oraser Body Emulsion Plus and Oraser Nourishing Hand Crème. These products are recommended for people with dry skin as they immediately and effectively soften, smoothen, hydrate, and improve skin quality. The Oraser Nourishing Hand Crème has retinol and enzyme skin resurfacers to reduce signs of aging such as wrinkles. Oraser Body Emulsion Plus has skin brighteners that to help prevent pigmentation and minimize the appearance of age spots. Note that Oraser Body Emulsion Plus and Oraser Nourishing Hand Crème cannot be used on pregnant women as both contain retinol. Grape seed oil can be used as an alternative.
8Step 8: Stabilizing and Replenishing
This step aims to fortify skin and boost its overall condition. First, Ossential Growth Factor Serum Plus is applied. This serum is a combination of retinol and amino acids that help restore skin elasticity and slow down collagen degradation. The next product to be applied is Ommerse Renewal Crème. It has encapsulated retinol that calms and repairs the skin's barrier. The last product is Hydrafirm. This is specially formulated to minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness on the eye area.
9Step 9: Protection
The final step of ZO HydraFacial Treatment is to protect the skin from the sun's harmful rays. Oclipse Sunscreen + Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB defense, protecting the skin from the aging effects of high-energy light. It also has a unique antioxidant complex that provides all-day protection from sun exposure and free radical damage.

Restorative dentistry: Gagging – Bringing Up an Old Problem Part 2: Management of the Condition
CPD: 0:24 (closed) Self assess
Feedback: 0 comments, 0 ratings
Abstract: This is the second-part of a two-part series on gagging patients. The first paper discussed the aetiology of gagging and diagnosing the severity of the condition. This paper will investigate the different management approaches which can be considered for patients who suffer from an exaggerated gag reflex.
Clinical relevance: Once the gagging patient has been successfully diagnosed, it is important to consider the most appropriate treatment options. No two cases are alike, therefore, the clinician must carefully tailor the treatment plan for each patient, as with any other form of dental treatment.
Author notes: Bryan Daniel Murchie, BDS, MJDF RCPS, PGCert(Implant), MSc(Rest Dent), Restorative Dentistry Department, Newcastle Dental Hospital, Richardson Road, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, NE2 4AZ, UK.
Objective: To understand the various interventions which can be used to manage the gagging response successfully and recognize when the condition requires referral for additional support.

The SHSM–Food Processing enables students to build a foundation of sector-focused knowledge and skills before graduating and entering apprenticeship training, college, university, or an entry-level position in the workplace. Where local circumstances allow, boards may elect to offer one or more variants of the SHSM in a given sector, each with a particular area of focus. This SHSM may be designed to have a particular focus – for example, on the manufacturing processes used in food production or the science of food processing. Schools may choose to provide a particular choice of focus aligned to the particular pathway the student is pursuing, e.g., the manufacturing processes focus may be more appropriate to a student pursing an apprenticeship pathway, while a student pursing a university pathway may be more interested in a food science focus. This focus is achieved through the selection of the four major credits in the bundle.Schools that offer this SHSM:
|Apprenticeship Training
|Food Processing Technician
|Laboratory Technicians
|Packaging Technicians
|Industrial Electrician
|Quality Control Technician - Food Processing
|Entry Level Line Operator
|Food Scientist
|Process Labourers
|Food Inspectors
|Sanitation Workers
|Registered Dieticians
|Machine Operators
|Food Research and Development
|Material Handler
|Quality Assurance Regulatory Supervisor

So here's wishing A R Rahman on his 52nd birthday (January 6, 2019). He has kept a low profile over the past few years, at least on the Hindi film music circuit, but his contribution in the 1990s and early 2000s has been immense, mainly in changing the genre's sound.
Here, we choose 10 songs that are very typical Rahman – each commercially successful too.
Let's get nostalgic.
1 Chhoti Si Asha – Roja
Rahman hit the big time with the Tamil version of Mani Ratnam's Roja, which was dubbed in Hindi. 'Chhoti Si Asha' remains an evergreen number, sung by Minmini and Rahman himself.
2 Kehna Hi Kya – Bombay
One of the music director's greatest hits. This song, sung by K.S. Chithra and Rahman, has some amazing choruses and arrangements, and is picturised on Manisha Koirala. Lyrics are by Mehboob.
3 Rangeela Re – Rangeela
Rahman and Mehboob combine in this 1995 Ram Gopal Varma film to create hit music. This song, sung by Asha Bhosle with Aditya Narayan, has some brilliant dance moves by Urmila Matondkar.
4 Chaiyya Chaiyya – Dil Se
The train song featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Malaika Arora, it gave singer Sukhwinder Singh a platform, with Sapna Awasthi chipping in. Gulzar's lyrics were inspired by Sufi poet Baba Bulleh Shah's 'Thaiyya Thaiyya'.
5 Taal Se Taal Mila – Taal
An immensely catchy number by Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan, filmed on Aishwarya Rai and Akshaye Khanna. Anand Bakshi's lyrics and the catchy rhythms complete the magic.
6 Mitwa – Lagaan
The Aamir Khan cricket film had some great music by Rahman, with lyrics by Javed Akhtar. If 'Ghanan Ghanan' set the pace, 'Mitwa' is a gem by Udit Narayan, Sukhwinder, Alka Yagnik and Srinivas, pepped by amazing percussion.
7 Yun Hi Chala Chala – Swades
The deadly combination of Udit Narayan, Kailash Kher and Hariharan get together on this 2004 hit, written by Javed Akhtar. The outdoor shots on a road journey are well-captured.
8 Rang De Basanti – Rang De Basanti
With its heady bhangra-pop flavour, this song picturised on Aamir Khan became quite a rage. Daler Mehndi's voice goes perfectly with the tune and Prasoon Joshi's lyrics are apt. Add to that some great choreography.
9 Pappu Can't Dance – Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na
Rahman attempts a fun song with a club ambience, and does it well. The tune, filmed on Imran Khan, was huge on the dance floor in 2008. It was sung by a variety of singers, including Anupama, Benny Dayal and Blaaze.
10 Kun Faaya Kun – Rockstar
Rahman has done some neat Sufiana numbers in his career. This one, filmed on Ranbir Kapoor and others, is a treat. Sung by Rahman, Javed Ali, Mohit Chauhan and the Nizami Brothers, it has been written by Irshad Kamil.
Narendra Kusnur is one of India's best known music journalists. Born with a musical spoon (okay, doesn't fit, but you get the drift), Naren, NK, Kusnur, Narender, Kaansen, Jahanpanna… however else many call him, is a late bloomer in music criticism. He was (is!) an aficionado first, and then strayed into writing on music. But in the last two decades, he has made up for most of what he didn't do earlier. If ever there is an Ustad given for music writing, NK, would be among the first to receive one. Narendra Kusnur writes weekly on Xyngr. Don't ask us when.

Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.
Albert Camus, (1913 -- 1960), author, philosopher
Pete Seeger shows how we can over come the incredible odds.
I highly recommend "Pete Seeger: The Power of Song." This is a wonderfully done documentary on the power of music and one man's ability to unite and fight ongoing ignorance.
He is amazing. I bet you didn't know that after Martin Luther King Jr. met with Seeger and watched perform the mid-1950s, King was inspired to use "We Shall Over Come."
Last night on HBO, the "We Are One" special celebrating the coming inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama, and who should be the penultimate performer, none other than Peter Seeger singing "This Land is Our Land," which he sang in the 1930s with Woody Guthrie during the depression. The dream has the potential of coming true everyone, finally.
